OPINION

A New Path Forward for Health Care

R

epublicans in the U.S. House and Senate dealt themselves a political blow this month when they rolled out the American Health Care Act and then killed it before it could reach a vote in the House of Representatives.

There were a great many concerns about the plan: the proposed deregulation of the private health insurance industry, the increased prices that would have befallen older Americans, the full repeal of the Medicaid expansion and the cuts to women’s health care. However, most concerning were the estimated half-million Oregonians who were expected to lose coverage when the new plan was implemented, according to a statement by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.

Unfortunately at the helm of that rollout was our own Oregon Rep. Greg Walden. On March 6, Walden released a statement stating: “I’m proud that the plan we’ve put forth today reflects eight years’ worth of conversations with families, patients, and doctors. Simply put, we have a Better Way to deliver solutions that put patients—not bureaucrats—first and we are moving forward united in our efforts to rescue the American people from the mess Obamacare has created. Today is the first step in helping families across this country obtain truly affordable health care, and we’re eager to get this rescue mission started.”

After eight years of effort, Oregonians expect more. The rush for implementation of this was more politics than policy—not a good reflection on our district’s Representative in the House. Moving forward, our state needs a bipartisan effort to create a viable health care system.

“There are plenty of ideas already on the table that would make health care more affordable for working families,” said Sen. Jeff Merkley, in a release issued just after the announcement

of the failure of the Republican plan, “from a public option, to prescription drug negotiations, to offering older Americans the chance to buy into Medicare. I’m happy to work with anyone, from either side of the aisle, to explore these or any other ideas that would improve health care for working Americans.”

We support these efforts to address health care within the Affordable Health Care Act. The plan isn’t perfect, and premiums and deductibles are indeed more than many Oregonians can afford. The state’s share of the burden for Medicaid—what we call the Oregon Health Plan—is about to increase. And while we commend the Oregon Legislature for its ongoing efforts to insure every Oregon child through the current Cover All Kids legislation, it’s yet another thing that doesn’t have a clear source of revenue.

Health care is indeed a human right, and while the legislature already has serious budget constraints on its back, our state also has the power to make meaningful moves that could stand as a model for what’s possible nationwide.

Oregon has long been a model for what’s possible in health care.

Were we to think creatively, rather than politically, Oregon could be a frontrunner in the push for a single-payer health care system. This system has been touted by many physicians and health care professionals in Oregon and beyond—and they should know; they work every day within the system. However, as we have all learned these past weeks, health care is complicated and the ACA, contrary to the current political climate, is a good program that has expanded coverage for tens of thousands of Oregonians.

Hopefully the gamesmanship is over surrounding health care, and Oregon’s elected officials can begin to fashion a path forward. SW

WHY BEND NEEDS TO BE A TREE CITY WITH AN ADVISORY TREE BOARD Trees provide essential services like cleaning our air and water and mitigating the effects of climate change. These benefits must be protected. The City of Sweet Home and the City of Sisters have Tree Boards that do great things.

The City of Sisters has a tree inventory.

There is current data on the urban canopy which allows for knowledgeable advice for city management decisions. The City of Sweet Home’s tree board created a heritage tree program which allows citizens to plant trees with a plaque to someone or something of importance. The citizens say the heritage tree program in Sweet Home has strengthened civic pride in their city.

Tree boards are essential in the face of climate change.

For those of you that may disagree I suggest an example from the east coast.

The Emerald Ash Borer outbreak decimated large swaths of urban forests across 25 states. Over 17 million Ash trees had to be treated, removed and/or replaced. The estimated cost was 10.7 billion dollars according

to the USDA. Cities with active informed tree boards were a lot better prepared for this disaster than ones without.

There are concerns that this push for the Arbor Day Tree City Designation and a Tree Board in the City of Bend will result in overbearing governance. That is not the intention. Tree boards are not governing boards. Their roles are only advisory. The intention is to have a qualified tree advisory board that will advise the city and citizens to best protect the high quality of life in the beautiful City of Bend.

As a citizen concerned with the sustainable future of Bend I ask you to please consider the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA designation and the formation of a Tree Board in this city I call home.

BEND’S (NON-EXISTENT) RENTAL MARKET If you are rich, you are good to go. If you are poor and choose not to work or can’t work, you can live off of the system so the middle class to low income people like myself PAY for it! I am a single mom, I work full time and have done so MY whole life! I make a decent wage, however, it still isn’t enough to really survive in Bend because of the RENT! I have lived seven years on the Westside and my landlord keeps raising my rent! It is now at a point where I have to move and can’t even afford the rentals anywhere else! I have a 10-year-old little girl and may have to rent a one bedroom for the both of us to even try to make ends meet and even those are hard to come by!

The greedy landlords are ruining the lives of people like myself who work hard.

My landlord just recently raised my rent $100 after raising it $150 last year. Though I still have the crappy carpet/linoleum that is from the 80s and a stove that is even older and I can barely cook on! I am outraged that the landlords get away with raising the rent over and over and over again without having to upgrade the apartments! My neighbor is in her 70s and has lived there for nearly 10 years in the same four-plex as I. She is on a fixed income and is struggling because of the GREED of these landlords. It is ridiculous and maddening that they get away with this!!!! Rent everywhere is way too high!

They are building new apartments but are charging $1,200 to $1,600 to live in! How the hell does that help us low income or middle class? It doesn’t! I am just at a LOSS! No wonder people are homeless! I have even thought I may end up in a motel and I am 48 years old with my little girl! There should be some laws for the landlords who are this greedy! Very angry and disgusted about this. And people that aren’t on unemployment anymore are a lot of the time OUT of benefits so they are not getting

I write Walden weekly to express my opposition to his party only vote/agenda. My biggest issue — legislate — do the job which includes discussion, revision, and compromise. It’s time for Walden to be defeated.

— Julie Hudson, via facebook.com I was shocked to find that Walden’s congressional email would not accept my letter. It repeatedly told me that I had not entered the zip code correctly. I thought that it was because I have the new 97703 so I tried 97701. Repeatedly failed. Until I entered Prineville’s zip. Worked 1st time.

en years after the Great Depression, deep into FDR’s second term, the University of Oregon Men’s Basketball team, which ran the somewhat novel (for the times) fast-break offense, wound up in the first-ever Final Four. They would go on to win the national championship – beating Ohio State, 46-33, on March 27, 1939.

victory to get there, the Tar Heels won a 75-73 thriller over Kentucky – the decisive hoop coming with 0.3 seconds left.

This was a long time ago. Like before ESPN. Anyone remember what their bracket looked like? Did they write it on parchment with one of those feather pens?

The Pacific Northwest is well represented at the Final Four, which starts Saturday near Phoenix. The first semi-final pits Gonzaga against South Carolina. The winners will play for the national title April 3.

Either way, the Ducks’ men’s team hasn’t returned to the Final Four since. Until now.

Thanks to their upset win over Kansas on Saturday, Oregon will play mighty North Carolina in the second national semi-final game this Saturday. While the Ducks cruised to a 14-point

For a moment, it appeared that the Ducks’ women’s basketball team may have also been a Final Four contender, but the team lost, 90-52, to UConn Monday night.

Eugene has waited 78 years for this, so dig out your Oregon green. The madness is not over yet. SW

Landmark Disability Rights Settlement

ODOT to make street crossings safer across state highway system

by Magdalena Bokowa

7

This landmark agreement means people who use wheelchairs won’t be forced to choose between navigating their chairs in traffic on busy highways or remaining isolated in their homes.

— KATHY WILDE, DISABILITY RIGHTS OREGON Upgrades and Installations Specifically, ODOT must install missing or non-compliant curb ramps and upgrade crossing signals. With a whopping 15,000 identified locations, the organization has a steady timeline to fix the issue; 30 percent within five years and 75 percent within 10 years, with total project completion in 15 years. Elizabeth Seaberry, community specialist for Disability Rights Oregon, says, “These improvements are critical for connecting parts of communities that have been difficult or unsafe to access and for enhancing safety along highways...The agreement (is) the largest commitment to accessible transportation in state history.”

About time “It has been 23 years since the courts made it clear that fixing curb ramps is part of what you have to do when building or resurfacing roadways,”

says Kathy Wilde, litigation director for Disability Rights Oregon. “But we are talking about 15,000 curb ramp locations throughout the state – and many locations have more than one curb ramp.” She noted that during the settlement negotiations, Disability Rights Oregon pushed for a shorter time frame, but that ODOT “was adamant it just wasn’t possible.” She noted that “any further delay is frustrating,” and hopes that the “quick-hit” remedy sites that plaintiffs have identified will be targeted first.

“We wanted to do something that was realistic but aggressive,” says Tom Fuller communications section manager for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The state will use an initial investment of $5 million to tackle the issues that have been flagged as high priority by the plaintiffs and AOCIL, including replacing existing curbs that are too steep, which put wheelchair users at risk of losing control. The project will also replace lips at the bottom of ramps that are deemed too high, which may isolate users onto the street.

ODOT has designated another $18 million for spending on curb ramps and other accessibility features from 2018 onward. “We have put together a pretty large group in the agency to oversee this,” says Fuller, who noted that there is now a full-time ODOT employee who will oversee the project’s implementation. “It’s a big job; it will become a piece of people’s jobs here at the department. We’re all in.”

City moving faster than state The City of Bend began making its streets accessible in 2004 when the Project Civic Access Settlement Agreement was signed with the U.S. Department of Justice, brought on by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA put into law safeguards for those facing disabilities including curb ramps and crossing signals. Still, Disability Rights Oregon says that, “More than two decades after the ADA went into effect, individuals with physical disabilities across Oregon still found that they were barred from some of the most important streets of their cities and

towns by badly-constructed or missing curb ramps.”

Since 2008, Bend has been moving toward more accessible infrastructure.

Karin Morris, accessibility manager for the city of Bend, says it “improves approximately 200 curb ramps annually.” She also noted the implementation of a barrier removal request process that began in 2010 which “allows individuals with disabilities to notify the City when they encounter a barrier to travel in the public right-of-way.” She also pointed to recent sidewalk initiatives which are bettering accessibility, including the South Third Street Pedestrian Project, the Galveston Corridor Project, the 14th Street Corridor Project and Wilson Avenue. The South Third Street Project, for example, aims to offer a safe and continuous pedestrian corridor in a high-traffic area which previously has had a poor rating for pedestrian accessibility.

ODOT just implemented the same complaint model the City has been using for seven years. Wilde, of Disability Rights Oregon urges citizens who notice inefficiencies to lodge a complaint through ODOT’s website so that they may recognize priorities.

Moving forward Barry Fox-Quamme, board president of the Association of Oregon Centers for Independent Living, which helped bring the suit to court, commented, “The voices of people with disabilities play a vital role for achieving enduring systems change.”

In the end, Wilde is hopeful that the timelines of completing 75 percent of the project in 10 years will be met. “This landmark agreement means people who use wheelchairs won’t be forced to choose between navigating their chairs in traffic on busy highways or remaining isolated in their homes.

For people with physical disabilities, being able to safely cross the street is prerequisite for being integrated into their communities,” said Wilde. “From trips to the grocery store to traveling to doctor’s appointments and socializing with friends, this agreement will enable more Oregonians with physical disabilities to participate fully in community life.” SW

t all stemmed from the power of protest. Jordan Ohlde, a Bend man confined to a wheelchair, is one of eight plaintiffs who, along with the Association of Oregon Centers for Independent Living (AOCIL) brought a landmark case against the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to make state street crossings safer.

For Ohlde, who suffers from cerebral palsy, it was the missing curb ramps on Greenwood Avenue that forced him to wheel his chair into the bike lane of what Bendites know is a very busy highway. On March 27, a U.S District Court approved a settlement which requires ODOT to make street crossings safer across the entire state highway system. “I’m excited that they decided so quickly,” says Ohlde. “It’s going to make Bend more reliable for all citizens, not only for those using wheelchairs, but those who use walkers and strollers.”

The one-stop guide to breweries in Central Oregon

by Kevin Gifford

Almost no place can claim such a density of brewing activity as Bend and its surrounding county. It’s a hive of hops and barley—and with places like Boneyard and Kobold opening new taprooms in 2017, it’s still expanding. Grab a ride (could the timing have been better for Uber and Lyft to begin serving Bend?), find an empty seat, and get exploring.

ÎÎ 10 Barrel Brewing

ÎÎ Bridge 99 Brewery

1135 NW GALVESTON, BEND. 10BARREL.COM

63063 LAYTON, BEND. BRIDGE99BREWERY.COM

Why go? It may be an AB InBev-owned brand and one of four (soon to be five) brewpub locations across the Western US, but Bend’s 10 Barrel is still a fun, festive neighborhood joint in the middle of beerand dog-laden Galveston Avenue. It helps that the beer has remained just as good.

Why go? Located in northeast Bend—

What to get? The Crush series of flavored Berliner weisses when it’s hot; anything in the barrel-aged “Fancy Beer Series” when it’s cold.

ÎÎ The Ale Apothecary RIVER RD., MOUNTAINBREWERY.ORG

Why go? Well, don’t go to that ad-

dress—it’s where Paul Arney lives, up in the forest, and it’s where he and his team experiment with all kinds of barrel-aged, wild-fermented, and other off-the-beatenpath delights. Head down to Crow’s Feet Commons by the river for a nice selection of their bottles.

What to get? Spencer is a Brettano-

myces and black currant-infused ale with a flavor structure as complicated as its oddly mesmerizing label.

ÎÎ Bend Brewing 1019 NW BROOKS, BEND. BENDBREWINGCO.COM

Why go? What looks like a normal

enough pub-n-grub joint at first glance hides one of the most award-winning brewing programs in the whole state.

Their secret lies in variety—releasing some pretty avant-garde stuff since early days and having one of Oregon’s first successful sour-beer brewing programs.

What to get? The Ching Ching Berliner weisse remains a fan favorite when it’s on tap, but try the Lovely cherry Baltic porter—dark, fruity, and exciting.

ÎÎ Boneyard Beer 37 NW LAKE PL., BEND. BONEYARDBEER.COM

Why go? Their reputation speaks for themselves. Boneyard is the IPA king of Oregon (though Barley Brown’s ain’t far behind), and a Bend resident is rarely more than a few minutes away from the nearest RPM tap. Head to the tasting room to try some of their other stuff; they do some mean dark beers, too.

What to get? RPM for a bit of IPA; Hop Venom for a fair bit more IPA, and Notorious for the most IPA of all (11.5% of it!).

home to a lot of production breweries, but not a lot of taprooms yet—Bridge 99 is a low-key taproom that’s become a go-to afternoon spot for locals in this rapidly-growing area. Pair their beer with some KC-style barbecue from Wubba’s across the parking lot, and it’s like a backyard party.

What to get? Rock Crawler Red is a

classic amber which goes great with ‘cue, sausages, and anything else being cooked up outdoors.

ÎÎ Cascade Lakes Brewing 1441 SW CHANDLER, BEND. CASCADELAKES.COM

Why go? In business since 1994, Cas-

cade Lakes has always retained a lower profile than the Boneyards of the realm, despite all the skiers and golfers their Lodge location in SW Bend entertain daily. It’s a cozy place, especially on bingo nights, and the tap-only offerings have steadily improved as of late.

What to get? Drop the M.I.C. is their

latest seasonal, a sessionable IPA made with Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Citra hops for maximum aroma.

ÎÎ Craft Kitchen and Brewery 803 SW INDUSTRIAL WAY, BEND. CRAFTKITCHENANDBREWERY.COM

Why go? For the view, one, especially in the summertime whenever concerts take place in the nearby Les Schwab Amphitheater. Food has always been a major focus at this gastropub, from their tapasstyle lunch stuff to po-boy sandwiches the likes of which are hard to find elsewhere.

What to get? Beer production’s

ramped up here as of late, too—try the India Nut Brown for a smart, piney approach to mixing big hops with dark malt.

ÎÎ Crux Fermentation Project 50 SW DIVISION, BEND. CRUXFERMENTATION.COM

Why go? Larry Sidor, former head brewer at Deschutes, left to co-found this place in the middle of Bend in 2012. His brewery and kitchen’s been hitting it out of the park ever since, and the Cascade Mountain view and massive outdoor space make this location a great place to kill a Saturday afternoon.

What to get? It’s easy to get distracted by the taproom’s experimental IPA

and Banished barrel-aged series, but the Prowell Springs lager is one of Bend’s most dependable thirst quenchers.

ÎÎ Deschutes Brewery 1044 NW BOND, BEND. DESCHUTESBREWERY.COM

Why go? If Gary Fish hadn’t dared to

open this brewery in 1988, back when Bend was a wayward ex-lumber town, this beer guide wouldn’t even exist.

Deschutes is a national brand now, but the original brewpub’s still a homey place, often packed with regulars—and the food goes well above and beyond typical pub fare, too.

What to get? Beer fans can’t go wrong with Black Butte, but why not try some of their constantly-rotating pilot system taps? That’s how Fresh Squeezed began, after all.

ÎÎ GoodLife Brewing 70 SW CENTURY, BEND. GOODLIFEBREWING.COM

Why go? GoodLife was one of the first local breweries to can, and their success with it has made it grown exponentially.

Their taproom (conveniently located near a dispensary and The Ale Apothecary’s barrel room) is a friendly, high-ceilinged affair, and like Crux, their outdoor area’s a great big party in the summer months.

What to get? Comatose is one of the great heavier IPAs this region offers, but the Sweet As ale has a crushable property that’s hard to put down.

ÎÎ Immersion Brewing 550 SW INDUSTRIAL WAY, BEND. IMBREWING.COM

Why go? Bend’s newest brewpub offers a friendly atmosphere and hypnotically shiny copper brewing tanks in the middle of the city’s newest brewing hub (Crux, Craft and Atlas Cider are all nearby).

They’re also Bend’s only brew-it-yourself place, letting people brew and bottle their own stuff using on-site equipment.

What to get? Bender sticks out the

most in their regular lineup; it’s an IPA with a wheat base and some Belgian-style spiciness.

McMenamins Old St. Francis School 700 NW BOND, BEND. MCMENAMINS.COM

Why go? The atmosphere’s the main reason anyone goes to a McMenamin’s location, and Bend’s got a grand one. Four bars (one sort-of hidden) are there to explore among all the art and décor, and the sheer selection of libations is amazing in itself—and that’s not even counting the brew system in the basement.

What to get? Ask for a Rubinator, a mix of the Ruby raspberry ale with the Terminator stout. Trust us on this one.

ÎÎ North Rim Brewing 384 SW UPPER TERRACE, BEND. NORTHRIMBREWPUB.COM

Why go? It didn’t open with a lot of

fanfare, but North Rim took over the old Rat Hole location in the Old Mill a while back, an out-of-the-way spot offering an inviting deck and a bunch of Southwest-inspired cuisine in a compact space. Both the location and the beer they produce are off the beaten path—in all the good ways.

What to get? South Slope is unexpectedly one of the best saisons made in Central Oregon, a light, spicy, and delicate sipper in this land of big hop flavors.

ÎÎ Rat Hole Brewing 56880 VENTURE LN, SUNRIVER. RATHOLEBREWINGATSUNRIVER.COM

Why go? Between here, Sunriver

Brewing, and the nearby Mountain Jug taproom, Sunriver’s become a great afternoon beer destination for Bendites to check out. Rat Hole’s also open mornings from Wednesday to Sunday, offering plates like chicken and waffles to go with a morning quaff.

What to get? The Haystack

Hazelnut has been a regional favorite since way back at the old location—dark with just the right amount of nuttiness.

ÎÎ RiverBend Brewing 2650 NE DIVISION, BEND. RIVERBENDBREWING.COM

Why go? Located in the former Rivals sports bar, RiverBend is slowly increasing production across the state from its brew facility across the parking lot. There’s always a dozen or so beers to sample, and the dining space definitely remains sports-oriented—head here for at least one Ducks game this fall. classical northwest IPA, but take a look at AshRiver as well, a German-style dark wheat beer.

ÎÎ Silver Moon Brewing 24 NW GREENWOOD, BEND. SILVERMOONBREWING.COM

Why go? What was once a dive bar (there used to be a disco ball!) is now a beloved brewery and music venue putting out some killer beer in cans. The crowd here is still much more a regular crew than Deschutes and such nearby, but that shouldn’t dissuade visitors from coming in and checking out why Silver Moon’s slowly taking over the Northwest.

ÎÎ Sunriver Brewing 1005 NW GALVESTON, BEND. SUNRIVERBREWINGCOMPANY.COM

Why go? The original brewery and tap-

room remains at Sunriver’s main business park, but the new Bend taproom, a stone’s throw from 10 Barrel, has been packing it in for over a year with its beer, food, atmosphere and great views of the Galveston people-watching scene. The outdoor patio out back’s just as inviting, too.

What to get? Vicious Mosquito,

freshly available in cans, will be more than enough for the IPA crowd. Cocoa Cow, a milk stout, is just as great.

Three Creeks Brewing 721 S DESPERADO CT., SISTERS. THREECREEKSBREWING.COM

Why go? Like many breweries around

the county, Three Creeks has been expanding, opening up a production facility and seeing more and more distribution outside of Bend. Its Sisters restaurant, though, is the same as always—warm, wood-paneled and offering a wide variety of food for the entire family.

What to get? If the Tenpine Chocolate Porter is around in bottles, grab it— it’s a turbo-charged dark ale that’s a full dessert in itself.

ÎÎ Wild Ride Brewing 332 SW 5TH, REDMOND. WILDRIDEBREW.COM

Why go? Wild Ride started big in 2014, and it’s remained at the forefront of Redmond beer ever since. That’s thanks in no small part to its large taproom, complete

with an equally huge patio and the three or four food trucks parked out front, ensuring there’s never a lack of decent eats to soak up the dozen or so taps inside.

What to get? Nut Crusher, their peanut butter porter, does exactly what it says on the label and has become Wild Ride’s de-facto flagship as of late.

ÎÎ Worthy Brewing 495 NE BELLEVUE, BEND. WORTHYBREWING.COM

Why go? They’re one of the few good options on the far east side of Bend, but that doesn’t mean it’s something to just “settle” for. Worthy launched with a fabulous custom-built location in 2013, and they’ve expanded on it with an external hop garden and the “Hopservatory” space telescope. Good pizza, too.

What to get? The Worthy IPA and

Worthy Imperial IPA are both...well, worthy, but for something new, try the strikingly fruity Stoker Red Ale.

ÎÎ Save Room for Beer Week

Why should Bendites start thinking about Central Oregon Beer Week when it doesn’t even begin until May 19?

by Howard Leff

Take a good look at your beer bottle.

I mean, really get up in there. Now then, what do you see? Yes, we all know about the refreshing goodness inside. So positively rewarding, in fact, that beer has become virtual religion in these parts. We love our ales, pales, wheats, lagers, stouts, bitters, darks, lights, creams, blondes, browns, ambers, pilsners and porters. Just to name 14 or so.

Yet there’s something else vying for our attention on that bottle (or can), something a creative individual out there probably poured their heart and soul into making. You can’t drink it, and it doesn’t get the spotlight often enough, but the time has come to take notice.

Give up? Why, it’s the label, of course. Did you think there’s a magic beer label elf out there, waving a wand to make a fabulous design appear? For the record, there’s not. At least not yet. Just like the labor-intensive ordeal of brewing, making a thoroughly original label takes a lot of effort.

Here’s a peek into the labeling philosophies at three different Bend breweries.

Along with the ubiquitous cross symbol, Crux’s new PCT Porter can features journal writings and drawings bt Pacific Crest Trail hiker Kolby Kirk.

Brewing Up Beer Labels Takes Some Hard Work Too

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 10 / March 9, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Perhaps nowhere locally is the label art pressure higher than at Deschutes, where every holiday season means an all-new design for its signature Jubelale. That translates into some rather high expectations for the artists, since they’re joining an exclusive club. “When we were approached to create the art for the Jubelale label, we were given a tour of the gallery—including the 24 labels that were created prior to ours,” says artist Lisa Lubbesmeyer, who along with her twin sister Lori worked on the 2014 edition.

“After the tour, we were told we shouldn’t repeat any element of any piece we saw. Since we’re visually inclined, it was difficult to ‘unsee’ what we had just looked at. We were a little stymied about what to create because we’re known for our landscapes and it was clear we would have to do something different from that.”

The sisters eventually found inspiration in their niece’s wedding—specifically, all those Facebook photos of the newly married couple.

“They looked like they had so much fun playing in the snow, and we thought, what would be a fun thing that everyone can do in the snow that would end in enjoying some beers together? Instantly we both thought sledding!”

Their design resonated with Deschutes Associate Marketing Manager Molly Izo. “Lisa and Lori layered on their love for Jubelale with an amazing creation of fabric and thread that embodied the joy of the season.”

The local outdoor scene also influenced the 2015 Jubelale design.

“This was completely inspired by my love of winter hiking and fly fishing in Central Oregon,” says artist Taylor Rose. “I wanted to depict a cozy winter scene outdoors and tell a little story about the trio trekking through the forest. The piece is titled, ‘First Tracks, First Cast,’ because working hard—aka getting up early—to be the first one at the river, or the first one on the mountain, presents such a great reward.

“Deschutes gave me so much freedom. I just pitched them a concept and they let me run with it which is pretty rare in the illustration world.”

Izo, who calls Rose’s work “an enchanted winter adventure,” says all the Jubelale designs highlight the art and the artist. “Each year we look for a local artist who brings something new to the table through their design, their medium or purely the way they approach their work,” she says. “We ask them to create a piece that is an homage to Jubelale—how they think about

in all three states.

“Crux is a favorite of PCT hikers who come to enjoy the Cascade views and a refreshing beer and to share stories from the trail with newfound friends. The more PCT travelers we’ve met and the more stories we’ve heard, the more we’ve understood the trail’s significance and felt a greater need to support it. It’s an important historic asset to our friends and community.”

Getting all the images and words together on a can was another matter entirely. “There is a unique set of challenges when creating designs and art for cans,” they say. “Ink doesn’t like to adhere to aluminum. And inks tend to run together on the slick surface. Printing on cans is extremely limiting— particularly when compared to printing on paper.

“But, we relish challenges,” says Paul Evers.

Lunar Labeling: Silver Moon Brewing This Bend brewery, founded in 2000, uses a Seattle-based branding company to handle packaging for both bottles and cans, plus logos and even its tap handle art. However, as is the trend with local brewers, Silver Moon makes sure that Central Oregon plays a crucial role in its designs.

“Our packaging is broken up into three themes,” says

Deschutes gave me so much freedom. I just pitched them a concept and they let me run with it, which is pretty rare in the illustration world.”

Message On a Bottle (Or in this case, a can): Crux Fermentation Project The artistic minds at Bend’s Crux Fermentation Project take their labels literally—especially when it comes to their new Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Porter. The beer’s named after one of America’s most breathtaking hiking trails, covering over 2,600 miles of California, Oregon and Washington, winding through the highest portions of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Range.

In other words, just a simple little stroll from Mexico to Canada. If you’re going to name a beer after this legendary trail, you had best come up with a label to match. (Want to hike it? See this week’s Book Talk on page 35 for some tips.)

The tale of this label starts, of course, with the hiker: Bend’s Kolby Kirk. “I was telling a story about the time I spent five months hiking the PCT and how I took my time to write and sketch about the long journey, the natural world and the people I met along the way,” says Kirk.

This all took place at a local event where it caught the ear of Bobby Evers, whom Kirk calls a “superstar” graphics designer—and whose father, Paul Evers, happens to be a Crux co-founder. It was destiny, since Paul coincidentally had been doing some research on Kirk the night before.

“When Bobby contacted me and told me his idea of incorporating actual journal entries into the design, I knew we were about to create something special,” says Kirk. “Artwork and good beer in one container? For me, that exemplifies the Bend culture. What you see on the cans isn’t inspired by on-trail writings and sketches, they are the actual writings and sketches pulled directly from my journals.

“The design on Crux’s PCT Porter can is a mosaic of entries and sketches from a few of the hiking journals I’ve kept over the years, but most are from that life-changing hike on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2011.”

(Kirk walked nearly 1,700 miles!)

The Evers’ fell in love with Kirk’s verbal and visual stories through the pages of that journal. “PCT Porter was all about celebrating our adjacent natural environment,” says Paul Evers. “The trail provides a vibrant thread for hikers and horseback riders through Washington, Oregon and California. Crux beer is distributed

Marketing Manager Pam Balmuth. “Our ‘Core 4’ yearround lineup is our most detailed, with the landscapes and activities we not only enjoy in Central Oregon, but all over the Pacific Northwest, where our beer is available. Our lifestyle branding on these cans highlight adventures that we think pair well with our beer. The constants here are the iconic mountains of Central Oregon. If you line them up all together, it creates a cohesive scene.”

Label designs for Silver Moon’s other products present variations on the theme. “Our Lunar Series are rotating 22-ounce bottles,” says Balmuth. “These are simpler, with basically the same labels; we just switch out the colors. They also have the mountain scene.

“Our Alpha Project Series also rotates throughout the year and has our logo as the focal point. These, too, are all the same, with a color swap.”

In case you haven’t noticed yet, there’s a new Silver Moon variation on the rise. And with it, you get a glimpse into the thought process behind the labels.

“The newest member of our core line-up is Mango Daze Mango Pale Ale,” says Balmuth. “The label has deviated a little from the original ‘Core 3’ with a much brighter background.

“That’s because we added real mango from local fruit purveyors, Oregon Fruit Products, which brings the price up a little higher than the original three. We wanted to visually distinguish Mango Daze from the rest of the lineup, so the customer perceives the higher price as equal to the quality of the liquid.”

Yes, the liquid. In the end, it’s about the brew. Still, perhaps now you have a new appreciation for the talented people who create the eye-catching artwork that goes onto each bottle and can.

Go ahead and judge a beer by its cover.

There are plenty of artists out there who wouldn’t have it any other way. SW

the beer and the seasonality the beer represents. It’s up to each artist to interpret exactly what that means to them.”

Artist Karen Ruane, who took a turn as the Jubelale artist just last year, felt a sense of winter warmth as she made her design choices. “For me,” she says, “that sense comes on strongest during the first good snow of the season—where all of Bend’s collective excitement is palpable. I wanted to convey that feeling of warm excitement, combined with the colors of the night’s sky and a whole lot of snowfall.”

Ruane also had a concern shared by many of the artists: How would a gallery-sized work look when shrunk down to the size of a beer label? Especially since, in her case, she used what’s known as a “marbling” technique – which produces images like the patterns in marble or stone. “It would have been easy to lose much of the expression in the digitizing process,” she says. “I had to be mindful of this as I worked—ensuring that I captured enough detail to do the art form justice, but keeping the design clear enough to translate when reproduced in many different forms and sizes.”

“Karen brought new light to an ancient marbling technique which lead to a stunningly abstract representation of the first snow,” Izo says.

INVASION OF THE CALIFORNIANS

Modern Times leads a small march upon Oregon

By Kevin Gifford

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 10 / March 9, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Since well before 1971, when Gov. Tom McCall famously told tourists, “For heaven’s sake, don’t move here to live,” Oregon has engaged in the oddly addictive pastime of taking Californians’ money while blaming them for whatever malady currently affects the state. What happens, though, when the march from down south begins to creep onto Oregon’s tap walls?

Bend and the rest of Oregon, have enjoyed fine beer from California giants including Stone, Ballast Point and Alesmith for quite a while now. But thanks to new outfits such as Portland’s Day One Distribution—and the ever-curious palates of beer nerds statewide—the selection from some of Southern California’s lesser-known (to us, anyway) locations is starting to trickle its way northward.

A few of the highlights:

ÎÎ Modern Times Beer

ÎÎ El Segundo Brewing

SAN DIEGO

EL SEGUNDO

Undoubtedly the most hyped of the Oregon newbies, Modern Times has drawn attention since its 2013 launch for its visually attractive cans, genre-busting beer (and coffee!), and the gigantic portrait of Michael Jackson (with the monkey Bubbles) crafted in Post-it Notes on one wall of their taproom. On tap right now at the Platypus Pub is Orderville, one of the beers Modern Times puts out all year in the bomber format; it’s an aggressively fragrant IPA that uses Mosaic and Simcoe hops to essentially put Southern California in a bottle.

Another LA-area brewery, El Segundo is...well, a bit more single-minded than Smog City. Big hops are the attraction here, and hops are what bottle shops in Portland and Eugene have been getting plenty of, from the Broken Skull IPA (designed by wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin—no, really) to Bursted, a line of six different IPAs that are each made with a different single hop. Think the SMaSH Beer Fest on steroids.

ÎÎ Smog City TORRANCE

Modern Times, a San Diego brewery, features a wall of Post It note art, with, who else but the King of Pop.

17

Craft beer in greater Los Angeles took forever to take off— the biggest for a long time has been Golden Road Brewing, now part of AB InBev’s craft division—but now there are dozens across the county, of which Smog City is one standout. Unlike a lot of breweries down there, it’s not just about IPAs. A coffee porter is one of their flagships, and The Nothing is a double chocolate imperial stout named after the Neverending Story character that also comes in a bourbon barrel-aged version.

ÎÎ Three Weavers INGLEWOOD

Showing just how quickly the beer scene’s changed down in SoCal, Three Weavers started small-time in mid2014 and has already expanded into a 30-barrel brewing system—one big reason they’re making it up here now.

Expatriate, available now at White Water Taphouse, is the IPA in their main lineup. At 6.9%, it’s relatively low on the bitterness in order to give way to some nice citrus hop notes. SW

Turns out, there are certified professionals who can probably help

By Nicole Vulcan In honor of the Beer Issue, we’re turning our attention this week to beer pairings.

When you’re in a well-heeled restaurant with an abundant wine list, it comes as little surprise to see a sommelier—a wine steward—approach your table to help you pair the perfect combo of food and wine. But think about it: Wine contains basically one ingredient—grapes—while beer, starting with malt, hops and yeast, can contain a lot of additional ingredients, including spices or fruits that can give the beverage more flavor.

If a one-ingredient drink can be so varied as to warrant an entire profession devoted to its nuances, wouldn’t it follow that a more-varied beverage—and one that’s so loved by Oregonians from the coast to the desert—would also support a certification aimed at pairing it with foods?

Well, it does. In the beer world, the equivalent of the sommelier is the “cicerone,” a graduate of a training program that preps budding beer experts in the nuances of imbibing and serving beer. Ray Daniels, a brewer and author, started the Cicerone Certification Program in 2008 in Chicago. The program offers a number of certification tiers, much like the steps offered by programs such as the Court of Master Sommeliers.

“It was high time that somebody created an educa-

tion program, a certification program that paralleled what the wine world has been doing for a century—to have someone knowledgeable at the table selling bottles of beverages,” says Brian Kerr, executive chef at the Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House, who’s gone through two levels of cicerone training.

“

It was high time that somebody created an education program, a certification program that paralleled what the wine world has been doing for a century...”

—BRIAN KERR, DESCHUTES PUB EXEC. CHEF

“I am also a wine sommelier,” Kerr remarks, “and people would joke, ‘beer is made, wine happens.’ You could just drop a bunch of grapes in a bucket and come back in a week and you’ll have wine. Beer’s not the same way, beer needs to be crafted—hence the name— and the variety of not only malts and hops and yeast has just exploded over the last five years to really cater to those exploratory brewers who are looking for the latest flavor, the newest thing.”

Level one for Cicerones is the “Certified Beer Server” tier, teaching people, according to the Cicerone Certification Program syllabus, about understanding beer styles, history, characteristics and flavor attributes of styles by region, identifying normal flavors of beer and their source, and pairing beer with food, among other topics. Level two is the “Certified Cicerone” tier, which includes deeper knowledge on designing a meal, cooking with beer and more on successful beer and food pairings. Beyond that are two more levels—hard to achieve. The Cicerone Certification Program lists just 13 Level 4 “Master Cicerones” in its worldwide directory. In terms of Level one, the program lists dozens of certified professionals in the Bend area, at companies including North Rim Brewing, Bend Brewing Co, Deschutes Brewery, Worthy Brewing Company, Crux Fermentation Project, Silver Moon Brewing, Three Creeks Brewing, local distributors and others. At Deschutes, Kerr estimates about 60 percent of the current staff has gone through the cicerone training.

So next time you’re at a local brewery that also serves up an extensive menu, ask the staff to put you in touch with their cicerone. While you’re waiting, use this handy guide for some general suggestions about what food goes best with your brew*. SW

backbone for their stringed strokes.

For a good taste, go to blackviolin.net and check out some of their videos.

It’s original, infectious music that’s appealing and just fun to listen to.

On a recent morning, the soft-spoken, articulate Baptiste phoned in from his home in south Florida. “Our show is high energy and dynamic,” he says. “It’s just a fun show. Our live show is always very different. If you love music and you love strings, this is a show that you can bring your kids to, your grandparents. It’s a show that everyone can share and enjoy.” Baptiste says they play about an 80/20 mix of original material to cover songs.

Baptiste told me his personal influences range from Curtis Mayfield (1942-1999) to Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), both examples of what he calls, “music I can visualize.” The name Black Violin comes from another influence, a 1967 album of the same name released by violinist Stuff Smith.

The duo often works with local students between shows, whether it’s visiting schools or having students come to the venue to observe the sound check. “We try to do as much as we can.” When working with students, Baptiste said their goal is to entice and inspire the kids to seek their own muse. “We want them to love themselves, love each other and to love others.” Black Violin is not out to make students pick up a violin or viola, but to discover their own voices. “This is our voice, our vehicle, and we want them to use their own voice and their own vehicle.”

Book these shows now so you don’t miss out.

Will Baptiste, left, and Kev Marcus bring their high-energy show to the Tower Theatre Sunday night.

ith a definite departure from only classical or bluegrass music, these guys are not your grandparents’ string players. Heck, they’re not even your parents’ string players.

The duo Black Violin whips up a high-energy hybrid of classical, hiphop, rock and other musical genres that reaches out and grabs the listener by the ears. Head-bobbing is a natural reaction while soaking in this addicting vibe played out by Wil Baptiste on his viola and Kev Marcus on violin.

The two met as high school students in a Fort Lauderdale performing arts program, later teaming up to form Black Violin after studying at separate universities. They’ve been performing as a duo for about the past 14 years, according to Baptiste.

Their music has been described as “classical boom,” and they’ve shared stages with Kanye West, Aerosmith and Tom Petty, while collaborating with the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Wyclef Jean and Alicia Keys. They won the “Showtime at the Apollo” talent show in 2005, performed at President Obama’s 2013 inauguration, and have averaged more than 150 shows per year. But Baptiste says the group tries not to tour as much these days, now that they both have wives and kids at home.

This will be Black Violin’s first time playing Bend, with a Sunday night gig at the Tower Theatre that falls in the middle of a three-night run between Spokane and Portland. Joining them on stage will be DJ SPS and drummer Nat Stokes, who provide a tight

Watch Gene Ween get his “O”face on 7/1.

One mission for the group seems to be defying stereotypes—which is also the name of their third and most recent album, released in September 2015.

In a 2015 interview with the PBS NewsHour, violinist Marcus said, “I would hear the hip-hop beat and pick up my violin and play to it. We studied classical, but we lived rap music.” Marcus also admits that he looks more like he should be a linebacker, rather than a classical musician.

The two musicians took unlikely paths to their passions. Baptiste explained that he wanted to play the saxophone, but was placed in the wrong class. “Right before I picked up the viola, I was a 12-year-old kid in the hood.” Meanwhile, in a video on the group’s website, Marcus explains that his mom put him into a music class when he was nine years old after he was caught stealing some candy.

“The only thing left was a violin, and I did not want to play that instrument.” Fast forward to today, when inaugurations and national tours are their reality.

The Fret Drifters from Medford will open for Black Violin at their Bend show. SW

July 1 WEEN

ALT PUNK ROCK — The misfits are blowing into town — be prepared! Icons for outliers everywhere, Ween has a cult-like following and is set to bring its blend of progressive-funk-soulcountry-punk to the stage this summer. Early Ween singles like “Bananas and Blow,” “Piss Up a Rope” and “Baby Bitch” were designed to be obnoxious, but that’s what makes Ween (a combination of the words wuss and penis) standout individualists who intrigue the nonconformists.

Having recently reunited, the band will play a mix of songs ranging from psychedelic drawnout guitar riffs to aggressive, fast-moving punk.

Plus, it’s worth going just to see Gene Ween’s “O” face. A serious treat. // 7pm. Les Schwab Amphitheater, Bend. $43. Bendconcerts.com SW

F

or nearly 20 years, Marco Benevento has been a key figure in the shaping of the New York music scene.

His diligence has let him amass an arsenal of fantastic music that can only come from self-made artists.

Last year, Benevento released the concept album, “The Story of Fred Short,” under his own label. His work was chosen to be featured in the Woodstock Sessions, a series of live recordings by standout artists. In front of a sold-out crowd, Benevento performed and recorded the entire Fred Short suite in one take. Recently, he has also been performing various Bowie covers.

Stylistically, Marco’s music is eclectic and distinct. His tracks don’t clearly fit into the confines of any established genre, but he clearly takes

inspiration from psychedelic, rock, and pop tunes. He has a tendency to electronically alter the raw sounds of his instruments, resulting in a sound that is hard to believe comes from a three-man band. “The Story of Fred Short” is easy to listen to without feeling ordinary, a combo that makes for some great live performances.

Marco and company will be at The Capitol on Tuesday, April 11. The show will consist of tracks from the recent Woodstock album and several of Benevento’s best songs. He will be accompanied by Andy Borger on drums and Karina Rykman on bass.

Borger has worked alongside Benevento since 2012.

Benevento’s reputation as a topnotch live performer makes this one of spring’s most exciting shows. SW

Baskets of Laughs

Comedian Louie Anderson is still a stand-up at heart.

By Isaac Kozell

of friends. She could hold court, not in the way of somebody telling jokes, but in the way of entertaining. She was a giant personality and a really unique human being. She loved people and knew how hard their lives could be. She had a light about her that shined brightly.”

One of the perks of the success of “Baskets” is it is broadening Anderson’s fan base.

“Here, there, and everywhere people are watching ‘Baskets,’ Anderson said. “When I do a show I see new people and new faces in the audience. I have such a wide range of demographics from the cartoon, ‘Family Feud,’ all that stuff.”

Anderson says that he's “really, really enjoying” his life right now and that he's “having a blast doing standup.” But in his 30-plus-year career, there were times when he didn't feel that way.

“I didn't want to do it for a while.

There were a couple of years there that I really didn't want to do it,” he said. “But like every stand-up, there's a curse that we live with that you have to do it. You don't think you're going to do it and then you'll go, 'This could be a good routine. Maybe I'll work on that a little bit.' The last 11 years I've been doing stand-up pretty steady.

I'm a stand-up first and everything else is second. I did get tired of it for a while, but I'm not sure it had anything to do with the stand-up, maybe just more me.”

Like all good artists, Anderson, 64, is also evolving as a performer, becoming more interested in the darker material he did early on in his

BOOK TALK

career. In a recent interview on NPR's “Fresh Air,” Anderson said, “I'm at this precipice right now that I feel like I'll be changing myself on stage,” but wondered, “Am I going to betray my audience?”

“I think there's a lot more in standup that I haven't done and would like to explore,” Anderson said. “Maybe my fans would bristle at some of the material. It certainly isn't where I'm going to become Dirty Louie. When I started out I did a lot more of the darker stuff. I got away from it because of TV and because I wanted to make money.

I wanted to be an opening act for all of these people that were asking me to open their shows, like Smokey Robinson, The Pointer Sisters, Glen Campbell, Ray Charles. In those days you couldn't do that kind of stuff in front of them.

“I'm raising the register of my stuff, trying to take it here and there,” he said. “I don't know where it's going to take me, but I think my stand-up is better. Sometimes people just want one thing, so we'll see. I'm funnier than I've ever been. That's how I grade myself. If I'm really funny and people are dying out there in the audience and standing up at the end, then I'm doing my job.”

He also offered some free advice to comedians and writers.

“You have to have a routine with writing,” he said. “Writing is work.

Writing is rewriting. I always tell comics, 'The best joke you have is underneath the joke you're already telling.

Don't quit at the first joke. There's a better joke underneath there.’”

Anderson knows that his comedy

n the world of comedy it takes a lot to stay relevant, especially if your career spans over three decades. But Louie Anderson has figured out a way to stay on the radar, transcending generations of fans with his work on the stage, screen, and in print.

He's a respected comedian, Emmy Award-winning actor, and best-selling author. Whether you know him from his stand-up specials, movie and TV roles, or poignant and hilarious books, Anderson boldly puts everything he's got into his art.

Recently he has garnered critical acclaim for his role on the FX series, “Baskets,” in which he plays the matriarchal role of Christine Baskets. He won a 2016 Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for this role.

“It's a wonderful third act,” Anderson says. “I think it was something that I was meant to do. I'm having the most fun time doing it. It's meant everything to me. It's definitely been a gift. It's hard to explain. Even when I see the pictures of myself, I go, 'Wow, is this me?' I really disconnect Louie Anderson from the part in that sense.

It's kind of a surreal event, to be honest with you. I kind of become the character. I don't know how much I have to do with it or how much it just happens. I try not to analyze it because I think that's the worst thing to do to something you're doing so well.”

A major influence on the character of Christine is Anderson’s own mother, who he always felt belonged in show business.

“She was smart, interesting and funny,” Anderson said. “She had a lot

has made an impact. He says his biggest contribution has been “making people feel less alone and feel better.

Those are the things I know I've given to people.” And since comedy is a twoway street, his fans return the favor.

“I feel very loved by my fans,” he said. “My heart is wide open. I think to be a great stand-up, your heart has to be wide open.”

No matter where he performs, no matter what the material, Anderson aims to leave an impression.

“Good stand-up is like a good song,” he said. “It stays with you a while.” SW Louie Anderson

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon

Source Weekly: We’ve had a lot of snow this year. What’s the hiking season looking like?

Last week, the author of the recently-released book, “Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon,” Eli Boschetto, rolled into Bend for a talk at Roundabout Books. The book is one of several installments broken down by location (Oregon, Washington, etc.), with book sections further broken into “manageable sections” that people can do in a few days or a week.

We sat down with Boschetto during his recent visit.

Eli Boschetto: July is notoriously horrible for bugs, but usually, things melt out June, you can hit the trail July, fight off a few bugs… by August it’s gorgeous.

Prior to this year, the summers we’ve had were all heat wave and drought years, so we were hitting the trail as early as May. It’s been really weird the last several years, and it’s definitely not keeping with the norm.

SW: Let’s talk about the approach and the audience for this book.

EB: I’ve made a trail across the state completely doable for a typical hiker. And I think

one of the things people don’t realize is that you think about the PCT and its high elevation trail that traverses the spine of the Cascades… but almost entirely through the state of Oregon you can access the PCT by major highways that traverse east/west over the Cascades.

SW: People around here talk a lot about trail overuse—and with books like “Wild” out there, it seems to be on people’s minds even more. What do you say to them?

EB: Even here in Oregon, the PCT is 455 miles long, and so that’s a long stretch.

Based on a statistic that we did when I was back at WTA (Washington Trails Association) the majority of hikers by like 85 or so percent are just day trippers, and they’re going from a trailhead to a lake, meadow, viewpoint, whatever, and then they’re going back. If you get out past that popular destination, then

the crowds just fade away and all of a sudden you’re like, oh, I have this all to myself.

When I came down here, a lot of people were telling me just how crowded the trails are getting around here, and I was like, yeah, go south, go hike in the Diamond Peak area, because I was down there twice for doing the book, and for the most part I was all by myself down there. SW

he is the Beer Goddess.

It says so right there on her business card.

Chelsea Woodmansee has earned that title, as this summer will be her seventh year of wrangling that keg rodeo better known as Bend Brewfest.

As if that year-round gig is not enough, the second hat she wears is sponsorship and events coordinator for the Old Mill District.

Woodmansee started out working for the Old Mill District as a receptionist, in a three-month temp gig filling in for a staffer on maternity leave.

Before her time was up, her boss, Marney Smith, director of the Les Schwab Amphitheater, informed her, “We’re going to steal you,” Woodmansee recalls.

“I fell in love with it. It was fastpaced. I fell in love with the people, the brewers, all the volunteers, giving out hugs and handshakes. It just kind of changed my life; it was really cool.

And even after seven years, I still get excited about it,” Woodmansee says.

“It’s just three days of chaos. It’s learning all about beer. It took two years

“The best thing about beer is that it creates such a cool community and I don’t see that going away any time.

I feel honored to be a part of it.”

— CHELSEA WOODMANSEE

of immersion to get a lot of it figured out. It’s a really consuming event, but I love it. I’ve been able to grow and it’s grown with me.”

Over the past seven years, Woodmansee says she’s seen it all at Brewfest: weddings, anniversaries, family reunions, bachelor and bachelorette parties and even a marriage proposal. “They’re having their first kid right now,” she says.

“I’m a really hard worker and I’m not afraid of hard work. We work 18-22-hour days and then get up and do it all over again. Once the Brewfest is over, we jump in and start working on the next one.” During one Brewfest she logged about 15 miles in a single day, according to her pedometer.

Brewfest this year will be Aug. 10-12, a week earlier than usual, due to the solar eclipse happening Aug 21.

Woodmansee has lived in Bend for 28 years, minus two years living in San Francisco. She and her family moved to Bend in 1991, and she is a proud alumni of Bend High School.

For much of the year, Woodmansee lives beer. She breathes it, drinks it,

talks it, loves it and knows it well. It inspired her enough to have her first tattoo be a hop flower on the inside of her wrist. “I like a good stout. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, and I like sours a lot. The best thing about beer is that it creates such a cool community and I don’t see that going away any time. I feel honored to be a part of it. It’s more than just beer, it’s really changed my life.”

Is the craft beer scene at its crest?

She poo-poos that suggestion. “If it is cresting, I don’t want to know about it. I’m in denial,” she laughs. Asked if she had any beer philosophy to impart, Woodmansee mentions a monologue from the classic TV sitcom, “Cheers,” in which postman Cliff Clavin explains the virtues of drinking beer. Any self-respecting beer drinker above a certain age should recall this. If not, just Google ‘Cliff ’s Beer Theory.’

During the past seven years Woodmansee has also been practicing standup comedy at local clubs while emceeing various events such as the A Cappella Festival and the annual Bend

Follies. For the past two months she also has been teaching comedy improvisation.

On a long-overdue vacation to New Zealand last fall, she and her two travel mates checked out the local craft beer scene. She said New Zealanders they talked to knew all about Oregon beers and were somewhat intimidated to have the Oregonians taste their local brews. She said they still found some good ones, mostly reds, IPAs and pale ales, but not many stouts or other dark beers. “They have really delicious hops,” Woodmansee says.

She related a story about how the Goodlife brewers visited New Zealand years ago and the resulting collaboration that became Sweet As Pacific Ale. As she and her friends learned last fall, the phrase, “Sweet as,” is New Zealand slang for “right on.” One time, as they were leaving a grocery store, the clerk cheerfully remarked, “Sweet As!” Woodmansee says, “We asked each other, ‘Did he say, ‘Sweet Ass’?!’ But they eventually figured it out… SW

Canada to Cascadia

Fashion designer taps into roots for inspiration Alicia Renner started bonding with her natural surroundings almost immediately, by planting trees as a teenager in northern Alberta and British Columbia—generally known to the rest of us as the Canadian wilderness. As the trees grew, so did her dedication to creating fashion in the form of handmade clothes and accessories.

Renner moved to Bend eight years ago and quickly found support from the city’s art community. “People are just so awesome, supportive and excited for you to be doing anything.”

She later started her own company called Howl Attire and works out of her studio in the Old Iron Works

Arts District.

Her design choices typically combine past and present. “I bring inspiration from being in Canada,” she says.

“And also from around here with the desert and mountains. I like the whole Western vibe a lot. Cowboy desert stuff is fun to play with.”

After experimenting for a couple of years, Renner locked in on a few ingredients that she tries to use in her work, including wool, leather, brass and fur.

She has also embraced the Cascadia separation movement, which, as you can imagine, paid off mightily during the 2016 election season. Orders for her Cascadia flags “just blew up…so that was pretty cool,” she says.

What’s next? Well, get set, Cascadia Nation. Renner’s at work on new 100 percent wool button-up shirts and

Duffle bags. All materials sourced from the U.S.A., of course…if not (one day anyway) Cascadia itself… SW Howl Attire

“Beauty and the Beast” can’t help being magical

By Jared Rasic 41

Walt Disney Pictures

‘Twas Beast that dipped the Beauty. Maybe even a little macarena.

lovingly re-created that the film looks like the most immersive amusement park ever created. This might be the biggest problem of the entire film: They haven’t created a world here.

Instead, as entertaining and gorgeously crafted as the film is, it all still plays more like a Broadway production than it does a living, breathing world.

Emma Watson was born to play Belle just as rising movie star Dan (Downton Abbey) Stevens fits flawlessly into the beast’s hairy hide. Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere and Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts are such flawless bits of casting that even as I complain about how manufactured the magic feels throughout,

I still feel like a bit of a jerk. It’s too much fun to deal with at some points.

For me, the real catch was Broadway legend Audra McDonald as Madame de Garderobe, whose full soprano voice absolutely crushes anyone she comes in contact with.

The “gay controversy” is negligible and given barely any screen time, so for parents worried about having to explain to their little monsters what homosexuality is, you’ll probably be safe for at least a few more days. Or use it as a teachable moment instead of letting the Internet do it. Either way.

It’s hard to find much fault in “Beauty and the Beast.” Every single frame of the film seems like a painting come to life. The problem is, we’ve

seen it before. For these live-action remakes of Disney animated classics to work, there needs to be a reason for them to exist. Give Spike Jonze “The Great Mouse Detective” or David Lynch “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” Can you imagine Peter Weir’s “The Little Mermaid” or David Cronenberg’s “A Bug’s Life?!”

Let’s take some chances and see what happens. SW

very single Disney movie I review seems to come to the same basic conclusion: Disney done did it again. Their new releases could play more like victory laps than anything and still make billions, yet the movies continue to be entertaining and artful almost across the board. Last year’s live-action remake of “The Jungle Book” was pure magic and better than most every children’s release of the last five years.

Following in the same footsteps as “The Jungle Book,” this year’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a state-of-the-art remake of the 1991 classic animated film from what’s considered to be Disney’s renaissance period. The biggest difference between “The Jungle Book” and “Beauty and the Beast is that “The Jungle Book” played more like an original vision taking on the classic story, whereas Beauty and the Beast feels like a too-faithful adaptation.

Don’t get me wrong, if this version of “Beauty and the Beast” had come out in 1991, it would be considered a game changer and one of the most triumphant children’s films of all time, but this feels like a funhouse facsimile of the animated version. The differences are so minor as to be negligible, which is fine, but it leaves the live action version looking like a brilliant painting that exists only to stare at and not be moved by.

The film is almost too beautiful to look at, with director Bill Condon flinging his camera through Rococo-era France like he’s gliding through history. The village of Villeneuve and The Beast’s Gothic castle are so

bit of a roll lately with remaking their classic animated films as big budget live action spectacles.

This one stars Emma Watson as Belle and the smashingly handsome Dan Stevens (from “Downton Abbey”) as the Beast, while also featuring all of the same beloved songs from the original. If this is half as good as last year’s remake of “The Jungle Book” then it should be highly worth your time. See full review on p41. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House

CHIPS: As fun as the original series could be and as fun as Dax Shepard and Michael Pena look together, the trailer for this is filled with jokes centered around gay panic. The characters make so many different jokes based on being afraid of being viewed as gay, it’s a wonder whether that’s the entire focus in a movie that should be about crazy vehicular stunts and good-natured buddy cop humor.

Lovesong In A Minor Key

Expert Compassionate Health Care for the whole family.

Poetry is alive in cinema

By Jared Rasic

Healthy AdventureS await!

Riley Keough and Jena Malone are beautiful together in “Lovesong.”

T

here’s something perfect about a film like this being called “Lovesong.” Every moment of the movie feels lyrical, like the beginning lines of a poem before we can see its form or understand its content.

The movie will be categorized as an LGBTQ romance, but it’s also filled with sweeping moments of breathtaking sadness that define the most profoundly incisive independent dramas out there.

Riley Keough (“Mad Max: Fury Road”) plays Sarah, a young mother struggling to raise a three-year-old daughter while her husband is away working for months at a time. Her Skype conversations with her husband are distant, concealing any basic emotion and avoiding all questions about the future. She wakes up from nightmares and is being medicated for some unnamed anxiety or depression. Sarah’s daughter is adorable and their relationship is filled with countless small, beautiful moments, but something is missing from her life.

Enter Mindy, played by Jena Malone (“Neon Demon”). Mindy and Sarah have been best friends for most of their lives and have a relationship built upon the opposing natures of their personalities. Riley is quiet, thoughtful and demure, while Mindy drinks more, screws more and treats life like a one night stand she is getting ready to bail on. When Mindy comes to visit Sarah during one of her husband’s long work trips, the two friends find there might be much more to their relationship than they can even recognize.

“Lovesong” is played in a very minor key. The physical aspect of the romance between Mindy and Riley is almost completely played offscreen, leaving most of the fireworks to be played through stolen glances and unspoken promises. If director So Yong Kim hadn’t chosen the name “Lovesong” for this lovely little indie, “Restraint” would have also worked perfectly.

Minor Spoilers: The film is told in two parts. The first involves Sarah and

bendveterinaryclinic.com • 382-0741

Mindy’s short visitation that leads to their newfound intimacy. The second part takes place three years later at Mindy’s wedding to a man Sarah has never met. It’s obvious the two friends didn’t stay in contact over the years and that quite a bit relies on this ticking time bomb of reconnection. The two women still obviously care for each other, but now all of their earlier simplicity is replaced by impossible choices.

What makes “Lovesong” such a remarkable work is the lack of answers.

We don’t know if Sarah and Mindy would be better off together. We don’t even know if they would have been happier. All we are allowed to see are the tiny breathless moments between these two women that suggest a future that would perhaps be not brighter, but at least unpredictable and exciting.

Keough and Malone have an effortless chemistry that keeps their relationship feeling authentic and genuine.

The moments So Yong Kim chooses to leave unspoken and un-dramatized between these two women allows “Lovesong” to feel much larger than it actually is. We get to imagine Sarah and Mindy as they head into the future. There are no periods to their relationship, only commas and an eventual ellipses.

Just like the greatest poems, “Lovesong” takes time to process. Sarah and Mindy hesitate to truly love each other not out of fear, but from a deeply sad uncertainty. What if it doesn’t work out? Could their friendship survive it? All they can do is love each other in the moments they have instead of the ones they want. Again, like the greatest poems (and films), “Lovesong” doesn’t need our understanding, or necessarily even want it.

All the film needs to do is mirror our humanity and allow us time to look. SW Lovesong

Getting that Spring in Your Step The weather’s a-changing… time to start running

By Magdalena Bokowa 45

FootZone

Running with others can be beneficial. Starting out slowly is the key to success in the long run.

Dust off those kicks

that. If you’re keen on racing, most runs such as the Salmon Run or Happy Girls (on May 27) offer 5k and 10k options to their half-marathon.

“What we’re seeing is that finally, after this crazy winter, people are starting to get back to it,” says Poirot. “There’s a lot of sentiment from runners that they are months behind on their training.” If you’ve found it difficult to stay motivated when thawed trails turn into slush after this soggy start to spring, keep the momentum flowing by erring on paved roads or going indoors on the treadmill. Diehards may bristle at the idea of forgoing the oneness with nature for a stale gym, but what treadmill training lacks in variability, it does make up for in precision and control — important if you are practicing a goal pace before an upcoming run.

If you’ve been slow to the start, don’t overdo it. Poirot cautions, “It’s wise to race at where you’re at. It’s hard to gain a bunch of mileage in a short amount of time without getting hurt. Maybe you’re not quite there yet to run a half marathon.” She recommends adding 10 percent a week of extra length for your long run. So if you’re comfortable running three miles, add only 0.3 miles a week to

“If you’re having doubts or you’re struggling, it is definitely helpful to have a group to run with,” adds Poirot.

Getting out with friends makes you not only accountable, but has been a proven method in reaching those goals faster. Plus, there’s a little phenomena that occurs when you run with spectators. It’s called social facilitation — and it’s science! Numerous studies stemming all the way back to 1897 have concluded that we generally perform better when we are in the presence of others and have an audience.

A bit of ego perhaps? Probably. But group runs will push you to set a quicker pace, and give the added bonus of encouragement—very handy when you’re slogging up a steep incline. If the thought of being the last one in the group unnerves you, test the route ahead of time by making a few solo runs — but know that there’s no gain if there isn’t a bit of pain… even the anxiety-driven mental kind, which is arguably the biggest hurdle in starting any new endeavor.

Find a group run

If your friends are too busy indulging in the 101 other outdoor recreational activities Bend has to offer, or they prefer napping on the couch (hey, it’s an activity!) then sign up for an intro 5k, 10k or half-marathon training group. FootZone, Fleet Feet and our Outdoor and Athletic section ion page 46 offer plenty of options. Other great resources? Central Oregon Running Klub, Bend Area Running Fraternity and Bend Babes Brews and Running Crew… yes, that really is a thing.

Embrace (figurative) stumbling Every pro had to start somewhere, so don’t be dissuaded if you’ve run a quarter mile and your lungs feel like they’re on fire, or you gave up after a few sessions. “The biggest stumbling block for new runners,” Poirot says “is that they go out way too fast! So within a quarter mile they are ready to die and they don’t think they are runners.” She advocates starting off with a run-walk ratio, slowly building to 5k. “Everybody assumes that in order to show up for even a 5k running group you have to be a runner. That’s not the case.”

You can get off the couch and run a 5k in as little as six weeks, which is where a structured running group can come in handy. A coached group provides

structure with someone asking you what you’ve had trouble with or has the expertise to pinpoint issues you’re having, whether it’s your knees, joints or breathing issues. Invest in a decent pair of running shoes that are lightweight and both support and cushion your soles. And remember, running, apart from being one of the best and lowest-cost ways of getting into shape and living a healthy life, also carves out time for yourself. “It clears my head,” says Poirot, “and that time to think and connect with nature is my motivator.” SW

aybe it’s the hot neon lycra, the tiny water-bottle waistbands or the sultry sweatiness a runner exudes while hammering the trail, but there’s just something about that slender yet strong physique that makes one long to be a runner. With all that talk about that mythical “runner’s high,” there’s something to say about striving for health, cardio fitness and an all-natural, altered state of elated consciousness.

So can anyone be a runner? “Heck yeah!” exclaims Michelle Poirot, FootZone marketing and events coordinator. “It’s amazing to move your body through this stunning landscape that we live in, and running is a great method to really experience and see all that we have here in Central Oregon.” So, we hope we don’t jinx it when we say, the trails are finally thawing out and it’s time to go running! With the Salmon Run on April 9 kickstarting this race season, it’s time to get into gear.

It can be tough to spot a pygmy owl, but sighting one is well worth the effort

By Jim Anderson

GLORY & GOLD

all—by the time I got my camera he’d made it to the other side of the road, into a thicket, vanishing in the underbrush. A pygmy owl is noted for its pugnacious attitude and the ability to kill and devour birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians way bigger than it is. Being aware of silhouettes in the tops of trees along the roadway can help you spot a pygmy owl.

If you see one and want to get a closeup photo like Ken’s, all you have to do is become a pygmy owl. That’s done by staying in your car, opening the window and whistling in short bursts with a trill at the end. The owl— especially if it’s a male—will quickly react to the territorial sound and usually come looking for it, thinking it’s a possible intruder. (This website has the call: allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Pygmy-Owl/sounds) The owl has no idea it’s you making the fake call, but concentrates all its searching abilities trying to see that other owl calling. If you keep it up and get the little guy to fly, he’ll be in your car, or on the top of your head if you let him. A pygmy owl in the top of a tree alongside the road is really a common sight throughout Central Oregon in winter. Not so during nesting season, but around November they begin showing up, peaking in December and January. The big thrill comes when the owl turns its head, which they can do in the blink of an eye.

The feather pattern on the back of the owl’s head resembles two eyes looking right at you! Both male and female have “eyes” in the backs of their heads, which is no surprise. Both my mom and dad had similar physical

features, as do most parents.

While cutting wood a couple of years back my sons and I were in a location that had a resident pygmy owl. Obviously, we had no idea it was there. After about 10 minutes of cutting wood, I shut it down to refuel and we heard the sharp whistle of a pygmy yelling at us: “Shut that stupid thing off and get out of here! This my home!”

So we did, but not before I put up a small owl nesting box on the north side of a tree, something I always carry with me when out woodcutting.

I know someone reading this column will see one next winter, so please give me a call (541-480-3728). I’ll make an effort to live-catch the little guy and band him with a USGS bird band. This will give us the opportunity to keep

As soon as I get back home I go to my ancient computer, open the Bird Banding Lab website (pwrc.usgs.gov/ bbl/) and follow the links to reporting a banded bird.

Have fun, and please keep off that cell phone when you’re driving; you can’t see pygmy owls when you’re talking on your cell phone. SW

Ski Results: 1st Nick Keefer (Salt Lake City, UT) 2nd Jake Mageau (Bend, OR) 3rd Jonah Elston (Bend, OR)

For a full recap of the event go to: 10barrel.com/2017/03/27/hella-big-air-2017/

The stakes high, risks consequential, speeds unnerving, airtime maximized.

What is it about a big jump that brings people together? Is it for the glory, the gold or both?

An 82-foot-gap jump taunted riders at the 2nd Annual 10 Barrel Brewing Hella Big Air, held at Mt. Bachelor on March 25. Professional skiers and snowboarders from around the country trucked from halfway up the mountain, reaching speeds of 53-67 miles, to gap the largest jump built all season.

Competitors performed aerial tricks,

such as off-axis spins and flips and were judged on their style, amplitude, technicality, grabs and clean landings.

The winner of each discipline would take home the $10,000 prize purse.

Justin Morgan took first in the snowboarding division, consistently boosting higher than the competition and flawlessly executing freestyle tricks such as a backside rodeo 540, frontside 900 and switch backside 540 melon. Nick Keefer earned a first place finish in the ski by stomping a double bio 1260 and two impressive flatspin 900s. Local Ari Delashmutt was the obvious crowd favorite by throwing a huge superman front flip and hucking the biggest back flip at Mt. Bachelor in years. SW

K

en Hashagen, president of East Cascades Audubon Society of Bend, and I often get together to discuss bluebirds, kestrels, Great Gray Owls, eagles and other boring topics.

“Boring!?” I should say not. After just a few minutes we’re waving our arms about and I can feel my blood pressure building up as we get into it about the latest sighting we’ve had on this or that raptor.

We both band birds. Ken’s now a master bander, but was under my permit for a while, and I have been at it for over 60 years. Like me and many, many birders, he too drives with one eye on the road ahead and the other scanning the tops of the trees, looking for raptors and pygmy owls.

You just have to get your foot off the gas pedal to do that, especially if one of your kids shouts, “Dad! Look!

There’s a robin with no tail in the top of that tree!”

If you’re going like blue-bloodyblazes down the road at 65 mph, concentrating on not hitting a bicyclist, pedestrian, mule deer or 18-wheeler, it’s difficult to spot a pygmy owl in the top of a juniper.

Still, the rewards for suddenly coming upon one, and having the time and intelligence to pull over slowly and safely, are well worth it. I was going over the McKenzie Pass to Springfield one day not too many summers ago and had to dodge a pygmy owl dragging a fresh-dead pine squirrel across the road.

As I came to a stop a few feet beyond the little owl and started scrambling for my camera, I could hear him already scolding me, and—drat it

Now is the time to remove dead plants, shrubs, leaves, weeds, pinecones and pine needles from your lawn, driveway and walkways. Power washing or hosing down your porch, exterior walls and windows, under eaves to remove cobwebs, and patio furniture and ornaments will make things sparkling clean. Don’t forget to do the windows. Cleaning up the front door and garage door and repainting these doors is also important. If repainting is needed, consider adding a splash of color.

Just like getting a car detailed before putting it up for sale, detailing a home’s first impressions will make buyers want to come in and see the home rather than passing it up for another.

pring is the time of year when homeowners think about putting their homes on the market. Aside from the usual advice of decluttering and cleaning up the inside of your home, it’s important to remember that the exterior of your home is the first impression buyers get. Now that the snow has melted, it is important not to overlook the role of curb appeal.

You may have an immaculate and beautiful home, but before buyers see the inside treasures, they see the exterior and landscape. A home’s exterior is sometimes referred to as the “red carpet” of the home. The items that stand out are the landscaping, porch, front door and windows. This is often overlooked by sellers, but a simple thing to do yourself or to inexpensively hire out.

You’d just like your boyfriend to be more responsive than a gigantic hole. (Yell into the Grand Canyon and you’ll get a reply. And it isn’t even having sex with you.)

What’s getting lost here is the purpose of the GIF of parakeets re-enacting the Ali/ Frazier fight or the cat flying through space on the burrito. Consider that, in the chase phase, some men text like crazy, hoping to banter a woman into bed. But once there’s a relationship, men (disproportionately) use texting as a logistical tool — “b there in 5” — while women continue using it as a tool for emotional connection. That’s probably why you feel so bad. Feeling ignored is also not ideal for a relationship. In research psychologist John Gottman did on newly married couples, the newlyweds who were still together six years down the line were those who were responsive toward their partner’s “bids for connection” — consistently meeting them with love, encouragement, support, or just attention.

Explain this “bids for connection” thing to your boyfriend. (That mongoose in a dress is just meme-ese for “Yoo-hoo! You still there?”) However, especially when he’s traveling, a little reasonableness from you in what counts as a reply should go a long way. Maybe tell him you’d be happy with “Ha!”, “LOL,” or an emoji. You’d just like to see more than your own blinking cursor — looking like Morse code for “If he loved you, he’d at least text you that smiling swirl of poo.”

Nobody expects a free meal from a restaurant. So what’s with wedding guests who think it’s acceptable to give no gift or just $100 from two people? My understanding is that you are supposed to “cover your plate” — the cost of your meal (at least $100 per person). If you can’t, you shouldn’t attend. I’m planning my wedding and considering not inviting four couples who gave no gift at my two siblings’ weddings. Upsettingly, most are family members (and aren’t poor). I’d hate to cut out family, but if they won’t

contribute, what else can I do?

—Angry Bride If gift price is tied to meal price, it seems there should be a sliding scale. Uncle Bob, who’ll singlehandedly suck down 16 trays of canapes and drain the open bar, should pony up for that Hermès toaster oven. But then there’s Leslie, that raw vegan who only drinks by licking dew off leaves. Whaddya think…can she get by with a garlic press and a handmade hemp card?

The truth is, this “cover your plate” thing is not a rule. It’s just an ugly idea that’s gained traction in parts of the country — those where bridezillas have transformed getting married into a fierce social deathmatch, the Amy Alkon wedding spendathalon.

What gets lost in this struggle to out-lavish the competition is the point of the wedding — publicly joining two people in marriage, not separating their friends and relatives from as much cash as possible. And though it’s customary for guests to give gifts, The Oxford English Dictionary defines “gift” as “a thing given willingly” — as opposed to “a mandatory cover charge to help fund the rented chocolate waterfall, complete with white mocha rapids and four-story slide manned by Mick Jagger and Jon Bon Jovi.”

But because you — incorrectly — believe that guests owe you (more than their company), you’ve awakened your ancient inner accountant, the human cheater-detection system. Evolutionary psychologists Leda Cosmides and John Tooby describe this as a specialized module the human brain evolved for detecting cheaters — “people who have intentionally taken the benefit specified in a social exchange rule without satisfying the requirement.”

Identifying and punishing freeloading slackers was especially vital in an ancestral environment, where there weren’t always enough grubs to go around. These days, however, maybe you have the luxury to do as I advise in “Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck”: refuse to let a few (apparent) Stingy McMingies shape “who you are — which is created through … how you behave.” Instead of grinding down into tit for tat, you can decide to be generous. It’s a thematically nice way to start a marriage — in which 50/50 can sometimes be 95/“Hey, don’t I at least get your 5 percent?” It also makes for a far less cluttered invitation than “RSVP…with the price of the gift you’re getting us — so we know whether to serve you the Cornish game hen at the table or the bowl of water on the floor. Thanks!”

ASTROLOGY

TAURUS (April 20May 20): According to legend, Buddha had to face daunting tests to achieve enlightenment.

A diabolical adversary tempted him with sensual excesses and assailed him with vortexes of blistering mud, flaming ice, and howling rocks.

Happily, Buddha glided into a state of wise calm and triumphed over the mayhem. He converted his nemesis’s vortexes into bouquets of flowers and celestial ointments.

What does this have to do with you? In accordance with current astrological omens, I hope you will emulate Buddha as you deal with your own initiatory tests. APRIL FOOL! I wasn’t completely honest. It’s true you’ll face initiatory tests that could prod you to a higher level of wisdom. But they’ll most likely come from allies and inner prompts rather than a diabolical adversary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Since I expect you’ll soon be tempted to indulge in too much debauched fun and riotous release, I’ll offer you a good hangover remedy. Throw these ingredients into a blender, then drink up: a thousand-year-old quail egg from China, seaweed from Antarctica, milk from an Iraqi donkey, lemon juice imported from Kazakhstan, and a dab of Argentinian toothpaste on which the moon has shone for an hour. APRIL FOOL! I deceived you. You won’t have to get crazy drunk or stoned to enjoy extreme pleasure and cathartic abandon. It will come to you quite naturally — especially if you expand your mind through travel, big ideas, or healthy experiments.

FOOL! I lied. A ten-percent increase isn’t nearly enough. Given the current astrological indicators, you must seek out longer and deeper exchanges with the people you love. Can you manage 20 minutes per day?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In a way, it’s too bad you’re about to lose your mind. The chaos that ensues will be a big chore to clean up. But in another sense, losing your mind may be a lucky development. The process of reassembling it will be entertaining and informative. And as a result, your problems will become more fascinating than usual, and your sins will be especially original. APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of. You won’t really lose your mind.

But this much *is* true: Your problems will be more fascinating than usual, and your sins will be especially original.

That’s a good thing! It may even help you recover a rogue part of your mind that you lost a while back.

I lied. There’s no need to actually write a book like that. But I do hope you seek out and generate experiences that would enable you to write books with those titles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Endangered species: black rhino, Bornean orangutan, hawksbill turtle, South China tiger, Sumatran elephant, and the Leo messiah complex. You may not be able to do much to preserve the first five on that list, but PLEASE get to work on saving the last. It’s time for a massive eruption of your megalomania. APRIL FOOL!

You say it’s too much hassle to arrange for a certain adventure that you know would be exciting and meaningful? Here’s what I have to say about all that: Stop whining.

APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, there will soon be far fewer reasons for you to whine. The discrepancies between what you have to do and what you want to do will at least partially dissolve. So will the gaps between what’s good for you and what feels good, and between what pleases others and what pleases you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Hire a promoter to create gold plaques listing your accomplishments and hang them up in public places. Or pay someone to make a thousand bobble-head dolls in your likeness, each wearing a royal crown, and give them away to everyone you know. Or enlist a pilot to fly a small plane over a sporting event while trailing a banner that reads, “[Your name] is a gorgeous genius worthy of worshipful reverence.” APRIL FOOL! What I just advised was a distorted interpretation of the cosmic omens. Here’s the truth: The best way to celebrate your surging power is not by reveling in frivolous displays of pride, but rather by making a bold move that will render a fantastic dream ten percent more possible for you to accomplish.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Race through your yoga routine so you have more time to surf the Internet. Inhale doughnuts and vodka in the car as you race to the health food store. Get into a screaming fight with a loved one about how you desperately need more peace and tenderness. APRIL FOOL! A little bit of self-contradiction would be cute, but not THAT much. And yet I do worry that you are close to expressing THAT much. The problem may be that you haven’t been giving your inner rebel any high-quality mischief to attend to. As a result, it’s bogged down in trivial insurrections. So please give your inner rebel more important work to do.

Here’s the truth, Aquarius: You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when the single most important thing you can do is ask and answer really good questions.

Here’s more interesting news: The odds are better than average that you’ll score tips on how to improve your finances. You may also be invited to collaborate on a potentially lucrative project, or receive an offer of practical help for a bread-and-butter dilemma.

L

ast week, I got up at 4:30 am, to leave at 6:30 am, to arrive in Salem by 8 am. Was I super eager to get to Salem for, uh, whatever it is Salem is so well known to offer? No, friends. I was dressed in my finery to lobby my gubbermint elected officials on the dangers of balloon animals and children.

(Wait, no... that wasn't me. I was there to lobby for cannabis.)

This is a challenging time for Oregon. We are staring down a $1.6 billion budget short fall and any potential solutions to that are going to cause some real pain and suffering. And at the time of my visit, the Legislature was wrestling with nearly 3,000 House and Senate bills, so I wasn't exactly expecting a laser-like focus on my concerns.

That said, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of meetings I took with representatives and their staff, and the genuine interest and thoughtful questions each get-together produced.

There are numerous bills relating to the Jazz Tobacco, but I was there to advocate for/against three of them. If you can stay awake through the rest of this wonkfest of a column, here are the positions I took in relation to each of them: HB 2204: What the bill does: Upon passage, local governments would have the authority to create a tax on marijuana retail items at a rate of up to 8 percent.

Much like venereal diseases, new taxes are rarely a thing anyone is seeking, or enjoys once they get them. And that aforementioned budget shortfall means municipalities are going to seek to fill in gaps left after that budget is balanced. As of now, the state collects 17 percent tax, and local governments can opt to add up to 3 percent more.

That 20 percent is already a hefty surcharge. It’s far better than our neighbors to the north in Washington, who are dropping 37 percent on their purchases. (And moving a large number of Vancouver area residents to make a quick zip across the river to stock up.)

But the tax rate on non-regulated cannabis, i.e. what you get from your “guy,” is 0 percent. The industry already pays more than its fair share in permits, licenses and other fees NOT

placed upon the alcohol industry. The industry needs to stabilize and grow before more taxes are piled on.

SB 307: aka the Social Consumption bill. In brief, this bill would allow for consumption and sale of cannabis items at temporary events, establishment of cannabis lounges and some other good ideas.

(Full disclosure: I signed on as a supporter of this bill, which should shock absolutely no one.)

I’ve said before how absurd it is to promote the sale of cannabis to residents and tourists, charge them 20 percent tax, and them make them criminals for consuming it anywhere but in a private home. I’ve worked with numerous low income Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) patients who are seniors in Section 8 housing, where consuming in their residence can mean eviction. So, yeah, I’m in favor of not criminalizing cannabis consumers, nor putting pain-ridden poor seniors on the streets. This is a no-brainer.

HB 2198 - aka the Consolidation bill. This would move the OMMP from the control of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC).

While I know every Oregonian loves the OLCC, and changing its name to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission would be kind of cool, this one gets a thumbs down.

First, things are precarious for Oregon’s cannabis industry, and stopping to take a breath until licenses are fully issued before taking any more giant steps is our wisest move. Since recreational programs are under scrutiny by Jeff “Drugs are bad, mmmkay?” Sessions, putting all cannabis access into one basket is a risky bet. Maintaining a separate medical program protects producers and consumers. Let’s see what Attorney General Barney Fife has planned before we toss out the OMMP. As always, you can do your part by contacting your elected representative to share your feelings (about pending legislation, not how your Dad didn't show you enough affection.) A quick call or email can make a difference.

Get involved.
