n March 30, Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Earl Blumenauer introduced three pieces of legislation aimed at upholding state’s rights as they pertain to marijuana law. The three bills included the Small Business Tax Equity Act, co-sponsored by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) in the Senate and Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) in the House, which would allow marijuana businesses to claim the deductions and tax credits that other businesses enjoy.

The Responsibly Addressing the Marijuana Policy Gap Act would remove federal criminal penalties for businesses that are complying with state law, and offer an expunging process for certain marijuana-related violations, in addition to allowing veterans access to medical marijuana and protecting tribes from federal prosecution for marijuana violations.

Finally, the Marijuana Revenue and Regulation Act would de-schedule, tax and regulate marijuana. The bill’s proposed excise tax would ramp up slowly, capping at a “top rate equal to 25 percent of the sales price,” according to Wyden’s office.

Does this all sound a bit familiar? It’s probably because we’ve been here before. Wyden and Blumenauer have been attempting to bring equity to state law-abiding marijuana businesses at least as far back as 2013, and brought forth legislation attempting to give the federal government a cut of taxes during the 2015-2017 session.

Those bills failed back then, and with a Republican-controlled Congress and Jeff Sessions now serving as attorney general, the climate for marijuana reform doesn’t appear favorable today.

In the case of at least one of the

bills, a Republican co-sponsor will certainly help. The effort to lean on a “state’s rights” argument—a battle cry for many conservatives—could help, too. Still, the consensus even among marijuana business owners is that the bills are a long shot—even with the dangled carrot of a new revenue stream for the federal government, which it clearly needs.

While some business owners might balk at an additional tax foisted upon them, marijuana-related business owers seem, by and large, to support the notion of an additional federal tax. For one, the proposed tax rate would cap at 25 percent of the sale price—the same rate marijuana businesses were paying until January. If it meant access to traditional banking—and the prospect of getting bank financing to expand their businesses—marijuana businesses are in support of the efforts. Do those tax rates disproportionally target this industry? Probably. But when a business owner says she’s in favor of the tax, that’s her choosing the hard place, slightly softer than the rock.

Resolving the question of legitimacy in the eyes of the federal government would certainly help people in the cannabis industry sleep better at night.

And when it comes down to it, isn’t that what our legislators are supposed to be doing—helping their constituents solve the problems that stand in the way of their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness? While we won’t hold our breath that these bills will move forward, we commend Wyden and Blumenauer for continuing to push for reform that’s meaningful to Oregonians and Oregon businesses. SW

IN RESPONSE TO, THE PLANT MEAT BURGER COMING FOR YOUR BEEF (3/29)

IN RESPONSE TO, INVASION OF THE CALIFORNIANS, (3/29)

Putting cheese on a plant based burger completely defeats the purpose of eating the plant based burger. Personal health is one reason why people go plant based but you failed to mention the impact of animal agriculture on the planet. Animal Agriculture is the leading cause of global warming, water depletion, deforestation, species extinction, and ocean dead zones. But back to the personal health approach — dairy products are a nutritional disaster on human health and there are plant based cheeses that are locally made in Oregon that are two feet from those Beyond Burgers.

IN RESPONSE TO, PUBLIC LETTERS REQUEST (4/3, ON THE SOURCE’S FACEBOOK FEED) There is no democracy without a free press. It saddens me greatly that we are seeing a case like this here in Oregon.

Am I the only one who suspects Trump became president solely to further his personal empire?

He openly refuses to divulge his taxes and recuse himself from his businesses.

He antagonizes our allies with demands for financial parity while publicly admiring Putin: who infamously has built a personal fortune at the expense of his own country.

He schedules meetings and visiting dignitaries into his personal properties: further lining his pockets and building his brand awareness at taxpayer expense.

Although his wife won’t relocate to the White House his daughter and son-in-law benefit directly from his presidency. His son-in-law joins a staff made up of business partners and financial cronies. His daughter is given a White House office, again at taxpayer expense, from which they openly shill her fashions.

It seems that every proposal will further build income for Trump and cronies at the expense of taxpayers and future generations.

I can imagine his last Presidential tweet: “Thx America. Laughing all the way to the bank.”

THE UNITED STATES HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE Single payer healthcare must replace privatized for-profit schemes to guarantee a fair and just system of healthcare for everyone from womb to tomb.

Insurance companies must be totally excluded from the health care system.

Insurance companies must not be allowed to insure people capitalizing on health problems to reap enormous profits. Insurance companies must be restricted exclusively to insuring property, not people. Pharmaceutical companies must be nationalized. No more obscene profits for Big Pharma.

Single payer healthcare would be available to everyone, not just the wealthy, the politicians and people rich enough to insurance.

People would not lose their homes and be forced into bankruptcy because they

are unable to pay exorbitant costs of catastrophic long term illness or injury.

Corporations would lose a major bargaining chip in their efforts to bust unions by manipulating and controlling health benefits.

Veterans would receive medical care in their own communities rather than traveling long distances to veterans’ facilities.

Soldiers would no longer be stockpiled away from friends and family in privatized hell holes like Walter Reed Hospital.

Politicians would no longer be owned and operated by insurance companies and Big Pharma. Businesses unable to afford insurance for their workers would not be forced into bankruptcy.

The argument against single payer is that it smacks of socialism. The U.S. already has socialism for the rich in the form of tax cuts, subsidies, corporate bailouts and other taxpayer funded programs to fatten the hogs feeding at the public trough. Capitalism with its “dog-eat-dog” credo is for the masses who should not ask what the government can do for them but what can they do for the rich.

The claim that the U.S. cannot afford health care for its people is ridiculous nonsense promoted by insurance companies and Big Pharma. Single Payer would eliminate outrageously expensive insurance plans, copays, bureaucratic nightmares, exorbitant administrative costs and obscene profits.

Close down the imperial war machine sucking up trillions in tax dollars and use that money for the benefit of the people instead of the profits of the greedy war mongers. Include the health care program in the military budget and no one will even

notice its inclusion.

Single payer health care must replace the broken privatized health insurance machine. We must demand universal healthcare for everyone.

A sunny Sunday along Whychus Creek, south of Sisters, April 2.

Deschutes Land Trust purchases land along Whychus Creek The Deschutes Land Trust has purchased 130 acres of land along Whychus Creek near Sisters, as part of the organization’s ongoing campaign to restore and enhance the creek and its floodplain. The purchase, part of the new Willow Springs Preserve, includes close to one mile of waterfront along Whychus Creek.

In addition to donations, DLT was able to purchase the land by leveraging funding from nonprofit funder Craft3.

“Early donors to the Campaign provided the essential private funding which allowed us to work with partners to quickly secure the property,” said Brad Chalfant, DLT executive director, in a Tuesday release. “The Campaign is now in the final months and we need the community to continue stepping up, donating to the Campaign and helping us achieve this important community vision.”

DLT is currently developing a management plan—which includes community use and restoration— for the Willow Springs Preserve. In the meantime, the public can access the Preserve through guided tours.

Deschutes River Alliance Lawsuit moves forward A Federal District Court judge has rejected a motion by Portland General Electric to dismiss a Clean Water Act lawsuit initiated by the Deschutes River Alliance.

Last summer, DRA filed a suit against PGE, alleging that PGE is failing to uphold state water quality requirements at the Pelton-Round Butte dam complex. According to the suit, the facility’s Selective Water

Withdrawal tower above Round Butte Dam is elevating temperatures in the Deschutes River, as well as altering pH and dissolved oxygen levels—causing “severe ecological changes in the lower Deschutes,” say DRA representatives.

PGE countered by arguing that citizens do not have the right to enforce Clean Water Act regulations for hydroelectric projects. Judge Michael Simon rejected that argument, citing the Clean Water Act’s “citizen suit” provision.

“Tobacco 21” moves to Oregon House The Oregon state Senate has voted in favor of the bill that would raise the legal age for purchasing tobacco to 21 in the state. The bill is now under review by the House Health Care committee. Members of the Oregon Senate voted in favor of Senate Bill 754 A on March 23. Nineteen senators voted in favor of the bill, while eight— including Bend’s Sen. Tim Knopp— voted against. At a town hall in Bend Mar. 31, a local resident asked Knopp about his position on the bill.

“Is this because you take money from big tobacco?” Penny Pritchard, who lives in Bend, asked.

Visibly taken aback, Knopp reacted with, “Really?” and then said, “No.” Members of the state House heard the first reading of the Tobacco 21 bill Mar. 27. According to the Oregon State Legislature website, no further readings were scheduled as of the date of publication. SW

Last month, Bend police say they found seven children in an unlicensed day care, and their caregiver at a local tanning salon. It may be an extreme case, but it’s part of the ongoing problem of finding quality childcare in Central Oregon.

By Magdalena Bokowa

he waiting lists can be upward of three years. The costs average $750 a month.

And in the end, reputation and instinct are the only real tools to lean on when entrusting someone to take care of your child.

Ask any parent in Central Oregon, and they’ll tell you: finding daycare is not only stressful, but tough.

“For me, it was harder than giving birth,” says Heather Gringley, a working mother of two. “At least labor had a finish line and you knew what you were getting in the end.” Gringley is 18 months into a two-year wait list for a local reputable daycare. “It’s like, even when I get Nathan in, I’ll have to figure out how to pay for it each month. I’m literally paycheck-to-paycheck. So, the stress of getting him in doesn’t end there—it’s only the beginning.”

Gringley’s situation is something of the norm here, where population increases have squeezed an already dire childcare situation into a state of near-crisis.

“The sad fact is that there aren’t enough services to cover the need,” says Dawn Woods, childcare director of the Oregon Department of Education’s Early Learning Division. “We know that parents are in a pinch.”

Sue Stendahl, owner of The Cottage Day Care, notes the influx stemming back to “around 2009 – that’s when things became a bit crazy,” she says. Operating since 1978, The Cottage is one of the oldest facilities in Bend, currently with a three-year waiting list. “I get close to 10 calls a day from parents telling me nightmare scenarios and begging me to get their child in,” Stendahl says. “It’s really tough to say no.”

A parent’s worst nightmare Woods estimates there are 1,000 licensed centers in the state and 700 certified family homes, with a total of 2,300 licensed or certified professionals. To put that in context, a 2015 population study from Portland State University estimates there were approximately 121,000 Oregonian children under the age of five.

With an obvious shortage of licensed care, parents in need turn to the child care “black market,” leaving the safety of their children in sometimes-unreliable hands.

Last month, the parents of seven children in Bend experienced the shocking discovery that the care they’d found may not have been what they thought it was. Authorities say the children—some as young as four months old – had been drugged and left alone at their day care, often for hours at a time. January Irene Neatherlin, 31, owner and operator of Little Giggles – an unlicensed Bend daycare – faces 114 criminal charges including 76 counts of criminal mischief and

38 counts of reckless endangerment in connection to the case.

Acting on an anonymous tip, after repeated complaints to the state allegedly went unanswered, Bend Police carried out surveillance at a home on NE Blue Bush Court March 3 and again on March 15. There, police witnessed Neatherlin leaving at midday for tanning appointments at Tan Republic and workout sessions at a Crossfit gym.

Court documents show that when officers entered the home, they found seven unsupervised children between the ages of four months and six years old.

According to documents, the children were lethargic and sleepy and were taken to a nearby hospital for medical assessment. Kandy Gies, Deschutes County deputy district attorney, stated that since the arrest, parents and children have reported that Neatherlin had been drugging children and leaving them alone,

Central Oregon Daycare costs between between $450/month for unlicensed care to $1750 for a licensed center.

Waiting lists can be up to 3 years. often giving children “medicine” to help them go to sleep. Neatherlin is currently awaiting trial, her request to lower her $500,000 bail denied.

Due diligence falls on stressed parents The pending case involving Little Giggles may be a worst-case scenario, but ultimately the due diligence falls on parents—even those stressed and frantically searching for care. State records show Neatherlin had an expired business license and a revoked daycare provider license. Licensed briefly in 2013, Neatherlin’s license was suspended six months later for reasons unknown. Woods notes that depending on the type of licensing, daycares usually face annual scheduled and unscheduled visits to ensure quality of care and health and safety.

The masquerading of Little Giggles as a licensed daycare went as far as eluding OSU-Cascades, who had it listed under its subsidized childcare listings.

The university’s protocol is to include only state-registered facilities. University officials say they are now fact checking the other centers listed.

Concerned parents can use the search tool on the Oregon.gov website to help them determine if

a center is certified and if any complaints were filed against it. A search for Little Giggles this week yielded at least one complaint, stemming back to 2014 for “illegal care.” Woods says that any complaints lodged to the state are investigated “within three days.” Documents show the state was unable to move forward with an investigation due to Neatherlin being “uncooperative.”

Licensed vs unlicensed care “Not all unlicensed care is illegal or low-quality care,” says Karen Prowl, associate director at NeighborImpact. A provider does not need to do any state licensing or certification requirements if they care for three children or fewer; therefore, many nannies and babysitters in Oregon are exempt. For this story, the Source spoke with five nannies – four of whom were unaware of the rule and at times, looked after four or more children without knowing they were breaking the law. Parents, too, were unaware of the requirements. A lack of certification can mean a nanny may not have undergone any child education or safety theory, or even basic first aid.

“There’s a difference though between license exempt and running an illegal daycare,” Prowl points out, “Getting a business license is easy, getting licensed for childcare is not.” The Cottage Day Care’s director, Hannah St. John Stendahl, Sue Stendahl’s daughter, observes, “It seems like each year they add another page to the book, another rule that we must follow.”

Regardless of the level of certification, the quality of care varies from daycare to daycare. The variables are even greater with home care. A license-exempt 28-year-old nanny told us that most of her clients came from referrals from other families she had worked for. She is currently a “nanny-share” for several Bend families, a process in which families pool together and share the same nanny.

“I charge $15 for the first kid, $17 for the second and so on.” She went on to list a rate for four children, unaware that she was not legally allowed to care for that many. “Mostly the parents just wanted to see how I would interact with their children,” the nanny said.

For one vegan family, her background in nutrition was a deciding factor. “I don’t think they looked at my resume or called any of my references,” she says.

Opting for illegal care “I remember feeling totally desperate and sad,” says Liza Jones* about the process of finding childcare for her three-year old son. “It was very discouraging and

Low income options “We don’t advertise our services because we’re on a tight budget, but the Head Start program is a great resource for families,” says Patty Wilson, early care and education deputy director at NeighborImpact.

The program serves low-income families in the Central Oregon area and provides pre-school children four hours of care, four times a week – for free.

In general, parents must make 100 percent of the federal poverty level or below. For a single parent, that translates to $16,240 a year or less. The program accepts applicants year round and is currently accepting applications to fill the remainder of the school term, as well as for September slots. “We have less than 10 children on our current waiting list,” says Wilson, “The message we want families to know is don’t be discouraged if you don’t quite meet the income requirements. Families can still apply and it’s

relatively easy.”

For families that make 185 percent of the federal income poverty level, help comes in the form of Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) subsidies.

Parents must meet work requirements and pay a designated “copay” amount, which varies on the number of hours and the type of childcare. Woods notes that in the last legislative session, eligibility protection was granted so that if a parent received a pay raise and made more than the allowed income level, they would still be protected for 12 months worth of care.

St. John Stendahl says, “We work with a family that

“Ask if they are licensed and see how open they are. A provider should be happy to show you around their space, be happy to answer any questions you may have. And always, trust your gut.”

—DAWN WOODS

receives these subsidies and it’s a hard system. The payout is often backdated and delayed.” She tells of a mother who says that she “doesn’t even want a raise at my work because I’ll lose the subsidies.” St John Stendahl exclaims, “I mean, how horrible is it to have that mindset?”

The unsupported middle class The median household income for a family of two in Bend is $59,400, according to the City of Bend. The Source spoke to numerous parents who said that in a two-parent household, it often doesn’t make sense

for both parents to work full time, due to the cost of care. The elder Stendahl says that if parents have three children at her center “they can be spending $1,800 a month on care.” But quality care comes at a cost, and with no real market rate standardization, rates can fluctuate. Stendahl says her rates increase by three percent each September.

The solutions, or lack thereof With Central Oregon facing a property squeeze, new centers that do open face skyrocketing rental rates.

The owners of one recently opened daycare on the west side of Bend say their rent was $7,000 a month, with reports of rent being as high as $15,000. Other hurdles include strict City of Bend zoning codes and state licensing requirements. Woods notes that the state is aware of the lengthy licensing issue and “works with unregistered providers, as best as they can, and tries to provide support for current daycares.”

There is respite with nanny-share services gaining steam and an increase in in-home providers and apps such as Care.com, touted as a way to connect families with local, affordable care. Still, parents should be meticulous in their quest for quality care even when using such services.

“What we tell parents is to ask key questions,” says Woods. “Ask if they are licensed and see how open they are. A provider should be happy to show you their space, be happy to answer any questions you may have. And always, trust your gut. It is amazing how much of this comes down to guttural instinct. Trust it.” SW *name changed

stressful.” Jones, a single mother who works part time at $13 an hour, relies on food assistance, and is behind on “four or five of my bills,” she says.

Jones opts for home care, run by a local woman who cares for approximately 10 children a day and who she knows is unlicensed. “She was upfront about it,” says Jones, “and honestly, it doesn’t matter.” She was referred to the woman from a network of other moms.

“Her space feels very educational yet cozy,” something Jones says is missing at certified centers.

“Even if the kids are at the same ratio in each classroom, there’s something about your child being in this hectic, busy environment that holds 70 children. For me, that stressful energy isn’t appealing.

I’d rather the intimate nature of a home,” says Jones.

“Plus, my daycare is $25 a day. Half of what other centers wanted.”

Scars SOUND Beautiful Tom Wilson and his band LeE HARVeY OsMOND hit Bend in support of their new album

by Seth Gehman

GUNG HO FOR SHOWS Book tickets this Friday so you don’t miss out!

2017 lineup released, exploring what makes us human What does a COCC prof who summited 10 Teton peaks in a single day, the founder of the controversial anti-racism band, “The Slants,” an avant-gardening inventor, the CEO of a tech company and a “Daditude” coach have in common? They’re all speakers at this year’s TEDxBend event, happening May 13. This highly anticipated event features 18-minute presentations exploring this year’s theme: Us Humans, and just what makes us human.

A jam-packed event, TEDxBend will be a full-day extravaganza, with options to attend half-day or full-day sessions. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 7 at 5pm at TedxBend.com and usually sell out fast — so don’t miss out on “ideas worth spreading.”

title as the album, which will be available through Random House/Penguin books.

Lee Harvey Osmond is Wilson’s third project in the music industry, having previously performed with the bands Junkhouse and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. When asked about why he named his band Lee Harvey Osmond, Wilson says it came to him from his own loss of childhood innocence in the 1960s, and how the cute pop culture of American television couldn’t undo the darkness lurking just below the surface in everything. As for the range of topics on the new album, Wilson says they cover bases including addiction, one-legged lovers, native people’s rights and burning beds—a strange blend that only an artist’s mind could somehow mash together.

Wilson describes his sound as folk music that sounds like it’s made by stoners who only indulge in “strong things” such as cups of tea and hummus. If that doesn’t sound like an intriguing description of a band, I don’t know what does. “Beautiful Scars” has a moody, smoky, bar-room feel that should transfer seamlessly

Things are bound to get weird (in a good way!) when this band plays VTP.

from recording to live performance.

The album was recorded by Wilson’s long-time friend Michael Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies in his home studio in Toronto, and the intimacy is apparent in every track. This is psychedelic folk music at its best.

Wilson and his band-mates in Lee Harvey Osmond will perform at the Volcanic Theatre Pub April 11. If you’re looking to expand your knowledge of psychedelic folk, or even just enjoy

songs that sound like they belong on a David Lynch movie soundtrack, then this is an evening of live music you won’t want to miss. SW

Matt Clifford does exactly that with his certified B-Corp Barnana, a dried fruit snacking company that tries to tackle food waste in a fun and tasty way, while giving communities healthier options.

FRANK PATKA It’s rare to boast that your speaker is a convicted drug lord who held a group of hostages at gunpoint in order to settle a debt. But Patka is exactly that, and after serving six years in prison, a counselor urged him to share his story. A public speaking journey ensued. Patka regularly dives into thematic topics exploring the need to invest in people and the community — no matter how risky they may seem.

PATTI DOBROWOLSKI A TEDx veteran, we’re especially excited to hear Patti Dobrowolski’s design-fueled talk, sure to be both stimulating and a bellyful of laughs. She weaves her masters of psychology education with her love of drama therapy and art into visual goal setting which she advocates will change your life. Founder of “Up Your Creative Genius,” which specializes in creative visual processes, she regularly consults for Fortune 100 companies and is an advocate that “imagination changes everything.”

MICHAEL WELP Truth be told, we did a double-take when we read that Michael Welp, PhD, is the cofounder of White Men As Full Diversity Partners — a group which focuses on supporting a future of full racial inclusion by “engaging white men to become more passionate advocates.” His book, “Four Days To Change: 12 Radical Habits to Overcome Bias and Thrive in a Diverse World,” came from his interracial team-building work for Outward Bound in South Africa. Expect a riveting talk stemming from his diversity work rooted in past experience.

MATT CLIFFORD You mean you can upcycle organic bananas to reduce food waste and give better snacking

Tedx 2017 Bend Speakers Ysanne Spevack — Exploring the five senses, Spevack blends her love of writing about food with the art of composing.

Kevin Grove — An eccentric engineering prof blending science with his love of the outdoors, Grove once skied Mt Bachelor, Broken Top and all of the three Sisters in one day — which took 19 hours, to be exact.

Dr. David Geier — An advocate for educating parents and youth about preventing youth sports injuries, Geier is probably the only double board certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, who regularly vlogs on his Youtube channel.

Simon Tam — Controversial frontman of the anti-racism and first all-Asian American dance rock group, The Slants.

Jasun Wellman — Inventor of avant gardening. You’ll have to see his talk to figure out the “avant” part of gardening.

Daniela Papi-Thornton — Addressing local and global challenges, Papi-Thornton is an educator at Oxford’s Said Business School: her work in Cambodia fueled her rethinking of the way she teaches social entrepreneurship.

Ron Fritz — The CEO of Tech Soft 3D, Fritz is fascinated with the importance of coming of age rituals and the lack of rights of passage ceremonies in our society today.

Christopher Veal — Exploring male vulnerabilities and coaching fathers, Veal is the founder of Daditude Coach.

Paul Hessburg — An advocate for carefully planned forest restorations, Hessburg recently realized his book, “Making Transparent Environmental Management Decisions.”

Barbara McAfee — A voice coach, singer and speaker, McAfee explores using the power of voice to live your best life in her book, Full Voice: The Art & Practice of Vocal Presence.”

Anyssa Bohanan — The self-proclaimed “next Oprah,” Bohanan is a reporter for Central Oregon Daily.

Alicia Malone — Immersed in film as reporter, critic, writer and TV host, Malone brings arts and entertainment to the scene and is releasing her book on Hollywood actresses this coming August.

O

ntario, Canada’s Tom Wilson— who you’re more likely to know as the frontman of band Lee Harvey Osmond—is venturing into the west coast leg of his American tour. Touring in support of his third studio album, “Beautiful Scars,” the “acid folk” project has a sound that Elmore Magazine says “brings to mind the imagined alliance between Tom Waits and Nick Cave, one that might also find Leonard Cohen lurking in the dark shadows.”

The album is the culmination of three decades in the music and recording industry, and allows a deeper look into the heart and mind of this talented singer, songwriter and guitarist.

“Beautiful Scars” represents something more than just an album of 10 new songs. Last year, at the age of 55, Wilson became privy to some life changing information about his family. First, he learned that his cousin was actually his mother—and further, that his heritage was not Irish, but instead Mohawk. To work through this life-altering revelation, Wilson has created works of fine art and has given a number of talks and lectures. Also in the works is a memoir sharing the same

Drumming class beats an unlikely path to inner peace

By Howard Leff

14 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 6, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Mind Your Music

Drumming instructor David Visiko, left, works with students Linda Balsiger and Judy McAlpin.

W

e’re three music students, in the middle of Bend, in the middle of Oregon, but our rhythm’s planted firmly in West Africa.

To be more precise, we’re inside instructor David Visiko’s home studio, part of which is filled with exotic-looking drums. The three students, Linda Balsiger, Judy McAlpin and I, sit in a neat row banging away on the djembes, the skin-covered goblet-shaped drums you sort of tip forward, keep steady with your knees and strike repeatedly with your hands.

Welcome to West African Drumming: Level 1.

West Africa? We’re not even in West Bend. “I love the rhythm,” Balsiger says. “I love being part of a rhythm with other people. It’s just an indescribable high that I get from that.” She’s speaking of the feeling that musicians—pros and amateurs alike— know well, that sense of being in the groove.

“It’s a visceral feeling that you become part of the rhythm,” McAlpin adds. “You almost live the rhythm. And then along with that is the community...” She stops and motions toward Visiko. “And he’s a great teacher! You want to come and learn from a master—learn the history of it because then you’re also immersed in the culture.”

This is a musical form that goes back centuries. I ask Visiko, who’s been teaching in Bend for over 10 years, if anyone can learn. “I think so,” he says, noting he had zero musical experience starting out. “My teacher mentions me in class and says, ‘If this guy can do it, anyone can do it.’ I didn’t have a sense of timing or rhythm (at the beginning.) I was tone deaf.”

He’s not anymore. Visiko never had a grand plan for drumming, but as he watched a performance in Eugene one day, he noticed how the rhythms, drummers and dancers all blended together. “I enjoyed seeing the synergy that developed and how the energy connected with the audience, and how there was a crescendo that erupted from both the crowd and the

drumming and the dancing.

“I thought, ‘I want to be a part of that.’”

Now he’s teaching both beginner and advanced classes out of his home.

The Level 1 class takes place on Monday nights, with the more advanced classes happening on Thursdays. I sat in on the beginner class and started playing very basic rhythms almost immediately.

Playing at higher skill levels, like anything, takes practice. Basically, there are three ways to strike the djembe—the “tone,” the “slap” and the “bass.” Each requires you to make a subtle change as to where and how your fingers and palms hit the drum.

But each one creates a different sound.

You can play simple rhythms quickly. Just in the one hour I played along, there were several times I felt so drawn into the beat that I truly wasn’t thinking about anything else.

So, is it possible that in addition to the music, you can also get a sprinkling of what so many call “mindfulness”? “One of my students said it best when they shared that they’re the most present while in the class,” says Visiko.

“They didn’t think about anything in the past. Nothing about the future.

They’re just in the moment.”

McAlpin agrees. “If you’re stressed and you’re worried about a problem, you go in and play on the drum for a while; everything seems to center and you go on with life. It just helps in so many ways.”

Catch Visiko and his advanced drum troupe doing a pair of sets during a First Friday fundraiser at Bend’s Broken Top Bottle Shop on Friday, April 7. SW West African Drumming: Level 1 63198 NE de Havilland St. 541-760-3204 Mondays 5:30 – 6:30pm $15 (Drop in) w/packages available

Pulp Friction

Hollywood-tinged dark comedy makes world premiere

By Howard Leff 27

At least not yet.

Sheila, who imagines herself the more civilized of the two, should know better than this sibling rivalry-fueled infighting, what with her advanced degrees in Clinical Psychology. (Makes you wonder what your therapist really does when you’re not looking.) Devon, on the other hand, turns tormenting her little sister into an art form, even hiding her meds at one point.

Playwright/Director Patricia WestDel Ruth, who hopes to make “Fade In” into a film (naturally), keeps the festivities moving at a torrid clip. Her fast-paced and often quick-witted dialogue is laced with plenty of “inside Hollywood” references to everyone from director M. Night Shyamalan to actress Claire Danes. But West-Del Ruth saves the most reverence for filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, whom she admittedly admires, even opening Act Two with a Tarantino-esque flair— putting one character in an extremely, and almost difficult to watch, compromised position.

That character would be boyfriend Max (Robert Marquez), who suddenly finds himself in what you might call

wo sisters. One boyfriend. And a harrowing family dysfunction on full boil—one that’s growing ever hotter with each passing moment.

Throw in a loaded .357 magnum and you have more than enough ingredients for a darkly comedic trip through Los Angeles’ already pressurized Hollywood Hills – where dreams go to die on all those narrow and dimly lit roads.

That’s because the show business “industry,” as it’s known in L.A., can chew through the emotional switchboards of even the most mentally stable, well-balanced individuals.

But that’s not even close to whom we’re dealing with here.

“Fade In: A Twisted Tinseltown Thriller” quickly dispenses with the tinsel. Everyone in this three-character play, making its world premiere in Bend, is on the verge of a breakdown.

Or, to be blunt, they’ve already broken down. Nerves are exceedingly raw from the start, with Sheila (Catherine Christie), already packing her bags in a vain attempt to move out of the stylish but angst-ridden apartment she’s sharing with older sister Devon (Skye Stafford).

Judging by the way these two interact, you get the feeling that Sheila, this delicate flower, has tried to make a run for it on more than a few occasions. While she’s flinging her clothes (and psych meds) into a suitcase, world-weary Devon remains busy at her desk—grudgingly churning out a soft porn novel.

The sisters are securely locked in an ever-evolving battle of words—one that started way back in an infinitely messy childhood, and will seemingly never reach a tidy conclusion. It’s a dispute filled with enough alarming layers to challenge (and worry) any therapist.

Still, Sheila and Devon aren’t really in a big hurry to pore over their most unmentionable family secrets.

a “bind.” Whose boyfriend is he? Devon currently lays claim to “girlfriend” status, even though she endlessly ridicules him, insisting throughout that he has Asperger’s Syndrome. There are hints of Max’s involvement in the sisters’ childhood traumas, including an infamous round of “Spin the Bottle.” Anyway, it’s Sheila who loves him more, but seems blissfully unaware of the part he played in the above-mentioned turmoil.

The acting is terrific throughout— especially given the generous portions of West-Del Ruth’s snappy lines the characters had to memorize. While Sheila and Devon drive the verbal fireworks in Act One, it’s the frustrated actor Max who delivers a classic and

quite memorable “only-in-L.A.” monologue. This comes during an onstage audition-turned-tirade, in which he mercilessly unloads on those in the biz who stubbornly refuse to let him transform into the mega-star he’s so destined to become.

If only those bothersome writers, producers and directors would just get out of his way.

Not a single calming influence is to be found on this fateful night in Hollywood. We know these three hotheads are headed for trouble. All that’s left is an audience anxiously awaiting to find out just how deep it’s going to get. SW

Need a job in Central Oregon?

John Schweiter hires a couple dozen of employees every week—and he’s just getting started.

By Richard Sitts

— JOHN SCHWEITER

A

s a youth, John Schweiter rode his bicycle around what was then a much smaller Bend. As a young adult, he ran a successful coffee shop at one of Bend’s busiest intersections.

Later, he fathered six kids, all born at home, the last one delivered himself.

And recently he found a new passion, what he calls his “ultimate job.”

Schweiter is the lead recruiter for the Bend call center IBEX Global.

“I love to employ people. That is my greatest joy in life,” Schweiter says.

“That’s why I work for IBEX. The reason I love IBEX is I get to give 25 people a week careers. I just love what I do.”

IBEX Global handles customer calls for four major brands, including two tech brands, one medical company, and a motor sports brand. “They are all related to Central Oregon and are cool, hip brands that Central Oregonians would dig.” It’s company policy to keep the brands confidential, Schweiter says, “to promote the well-being of the brands and not to promote IBEX.” The call center produces some of the highest customer satisfaction ratings of all call centers in the world, according to Schweiter. “That’s because we have such cool people. IBEX has Central Oregon to thank for that.”

The company has been in existence

for about 15 years— the past four years as IBEX Global—with 24 sites worldwide and more than 15,000 employees. It has centers in Pakistan, the Philippines, Nicaragua, Jamaica, the UK and Senegal, and in the U.S., sites in Texas, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Tennessee.

After stints in a number of Washington cities, Schweiter moved back to Bend last August. Growing up, he spent many summers here. He says one of his favorite birthday memories was going to see “Jaws III” at a now-closed Bend movie theater on the east side.

In 1996, after attending a pastor school in Seattle, Schweiter attempted to start a church in Bend, renting out the Tower Theatre on Sunday mornings. It didn’t last, so he jumped on one of the first waves of specialty coffee and opened a coffee shop—Migliuris—at the corner of Eighth Street and Greenwood. “Back in those days,” Schweiter says, that was rated the busiest corner in the state.

When Schweiter joined IBEX earlier this year, the Bend office had about 400 employees. Since then, he’s hired nearly 200 more. Schweiter says he interviews about 75 people a week and hires around 25.

ARTWATCH

Sarah More The Space Whisperer

Colors, patterns and Sarah More have a history together.

Judging by her work, it’s probably not hard to guess that this week’s cover artist has a longtime interest in both.

“As a kid,” she says, “I used to make these crazy abstract coloring pages for myself, which is not so different from what I do in my studio today.”

Textile design, which she studied in art school, still plays a large role in her paintings. As for the customized designs she creates for clients: “My intention is to capture a person’s environment in a way that interprets and reflects who they are—without being

“What I look for most is empathy and heart, because those are things you can’t teach. My whole passion in life is to employ people in good jobs.” Those selected undergo three weeks of paid training. Of those, one or two might drop out, and when that happens, “It breaks my heart,” Schweiter says.

The training pays $10.50 an hour and increases to $12 an hour thereafter. Benefits include health care covering medical, dental and vision, as well as a 401K plan. The company even hires the homeless, with shower facilities on site, Schweiter says.

He admits that not everyone is cut out to sit at a desk for eight hours a day, adding, “There’s plenty of opportunity there because of expansion and growth. We hire in-house and we have amazing trainers.”

He gives the example of one hire, who in a three-month period, went from phones to becoming a supervisor and then a trainer. The person who now runs the entire branch started out on the phones, he adds. “It’s a really

cool company to work for. I like the way they treat people and the opportunities that they give, and they do it on a massive scale.”

The Bend site runs 24/7, though most work is done between 5am and 8:30pm, according to Schweiter. Everyone works eight-hour shifts and a 40-hour week.

There are no part-time jobs.

Schweiter says the people he hires range in age from 18 to 65. “People tell me this is the most diverse place in Central Oregon. We have a lot of creatives that work here,” including codewriters, songwriters and musicians. He says he recently hired a retired medical doctor.

Schweiter and his wife, Marie, a chef at Market of Choice, have a blended family that includes 10 grown children, all out on their own.

And as if hiring dozens of new employees every week wasn’t enough excitement, Schweiter says he’s also acquired a patent for his startup project, Serfpad—a “TV tray” that helps make a mouse and keyboard portable. SW

By Howard Leff too literal or heavy-handed. I consider myself a ‘space whisperer’ of sorts.”

Sometimes her clients actively participate in the design. Other times, More just lets the space “speak” to her.

“I’m not a portrait or landscape painter in the traditional sense,” she says, “so as long as the client understands that they’ll be receiving an abstract painting, they can participate as much or as little as they’d like.” SW

Eva Ferrell

An Inspirational artist for First Friday Doctors predicted Eva Ferrell would never use her hands and arms functionally. She brushed aside their diagnosis and blossomed into a truly inspirational artist. Born with severe cerebral palsy, Eva painted the last five years of her life – leaving behind nearly 100 pieces before passing away at the age of nine. She thrived as an artist – blending bright colors into expressive portraits.

Painting was a “game changer for her,” says Eva’s father Sean, who notes that her story is one of “hope and the possibility in all of us.” Sean’s also at work on a documentary about Eva entitled “Superability.”

The Search for a Candy Factory

Finding a home rental can be tough in Bend—and the trend continues in commercial kitchens

By Lisa Sipe

A Family Secret Secret recipes are highly guarded within families. Donna Holm, the founder of Holm Made Toffee, didn’t share the recipe with Randi, her business partner/daughter-in-law until Randi was engaged to Donna’s son. If you’ve tried Holm Made Toffee you understand why this recipe is precious.

Their toffee is crisp, sweet and chocolatey, all while melting in your mouth.

The pair started the company in 2007, sharing their confections at farmer’s markets and steadily growing the business one sample at a time (you get to taste all six flavors if you visit

Every once in a while she would find a good lead, but the spaces ended up being too big or needing too many expensive improvements.

Donna Holm, left, and daughter-in-law Randi had to get on a waiting lust to find commercial kitchen space.

their booth). In 2014, business was going so well that Randi and Donna knew they needed to move out of their licensed domestic kitchen. There, they could only make small batches at a time, limited by the size of their saucepans. During peak seasons they would be working seven days a week to keep up with demand. Knowing commercial space was hard to find, Randi put her feelers out. She did this casually for a year and then started looking daily to see if anything opened up. Every once in a while she would find a good lead, but the spaces ended up being too big or needing too many expensive improvements.

This tightening of the real estate market was happening even before the legalization of marijuana. Once weed was legal, Bend had an entirely new

group of people looking for commercial kitchen space to make their edible gummies, magic brownies and THC infused sodas.

Amidst all this competition for space, Randi got a break in 2016, with a lead from the company that embroiders her aprons. She immediately visited the space at 1470 NE 1st Street and put her name on the waiting list. Yes, like home rentals, there was a waiting list. As luck would have it, Holm Made Toffee scored the lease—a big break, yes, but just the first hurdle in their efforts to grow their toffee business.

After getting the keys, it’s taken them almost a year to get the space ready for candy production.

As, a small business without deep pockets, they’ve done most of the build out themselves, enlisting family and friends to clean, paint and prep the floors. While they were searching for used restaurant equipment online they were also navigating city codes and the department of agriculture regulations. Randi remembers getting so excited when she found her dream three-compartment sink on Craigslist.

It was in Portland, so she had to drive there right away to get it.

After a year of growing pains and

space build-outs, Holm Made Toffee was rewarded for their effort. This year, at the 13th Annual Oregon Chocolate Festival in Ashland, they took home two prizes: “Best Chocolate Candy – Honorable Mention” for their cardamom and vanilla hazelnut toffee, and the festival’s top prize, “Best in Show.” Randi said, “It is such an honor to receive ‘Best in Show’ 2017.

This event draws talented chocolatiers from Oregon, California and Washington. We are thrilled to be in such good company at this festival, so to walk away with this particular award is truly humbling.”

After the long road to opening their new space, Holm Made Toffee is having a special open house on April 7.

The business doesn’t regularly open to the public, so this is a unique opportunity to explore the shop and grab the samples. SW

f the availability of commercial kitchen space is an indication, Bend likes its sweets, treats and eats.

A combination of the popularity of locally made food products, food trucks and the legalization of marijuana are making it tough to find a commercial kitchen space in Bend. It’s not tough to see why; in the last five to seven years, we’ve seen a boom in locally made food products, including Humm, Justy’s Jelly, Bonta Gelato and Honest Baking, just to name a few. As these businesses have grown they all started to look for commercial kitchens.

Combine this with the boom in food trucks, (some of them also have a prep kitchen) and you can start to see how easily commercial kitchen space gets “eaten” up.

After some growing pains, and a lot of time looking, Holm Made Toffee is now one of the businesses with a coveted commercial kitchen spot.

Drinking In the Spring Go a little citrus-y, a bit red, or a lot hoppy

It’s a couple weeks into spring, and despite the fact that people could be skiing until the summer solstice this year, it’s finally starting to feel juuuust a bit like the season around town.

To the season-aware beer connoisseur, warmer months always bring saisons to mind. Originally brewed during cooler times of the year in Belgium in order to have something to drink during the summer, saison is now a genre in itself—pale, fruity, spicy and often infused with Belgian yeast for a biscuit-y effect.

New to the genre? Crux has the perfect opportunity to get acquainted this weekend. The afternoon of April 8 is Saison Day at the brewery, where at least seven saisons are slated to be on tap. They’ll include a few from Crux (such as Crux Farmhouse), but also guest taps from places including Deschutes, Worthy, Three Creeks and Immersion just down the road.

It’s a great chance to taste what Belgian farmers have enjoyed for the past few centuries, without having to miss spring in Central Oregon.

Those looking for something more traditional to Northwest palates should look out for the following, all out now or coming soon: Tanaka (Ex Novo Brewing) Fresh in cans from this Portland brewery, Tanaka is your typical pale ale—typical, that is, by this outfit’s standards. Citra and Cascade hops interact with tangerine puree and zest to create a tropical blast that’s sure to fend off scurvy for a while longer.

Ferocious Citrus IPA (HUB) A sort of summer take on the Abominable Winter Ale (something pretty obvious when the two can labels are side-by-side), Ferocious runs along similar line as Tanaka, using grapefruit juice and assorted fruit-forward hops to to make this IPA a ray of sunshine. Wheat from Twin Oaks Farm in San Juan Island, Wash., is also added to get that New England IPA-style hazy look that’s all the rage right now, although the taste is still purely local.

Swivelhead Red (Deschutes) Here the new spring seasonal is an IRA, or India-style red ale, similar to what Double Mountain releases year-round. Tropical

citrus this is not; it’s much closer to an amber ale, with English yeast and a mixture of seven hops that create more of an herbal-tea feel. While hoppy (70 IBU), it doesn’t slam the tongue with them at all—a pleasant diversion from the norm.

Vicious Mosquito (Sunriver) Sunriver’s Galveston Avenue brewpub held a low-key party to celebrate ViMo’s launch in six-pack cans a couple weeks back, where cans were sold for a buck each. It was a bit like 1974’s Ten Cent Beer Night in baseball, but much classier and with far less rioting. “Even though we’ve been brewing this beer since our beginnings, I’m still amazed by the complexity of the hop profile,” head brewer Brett Thomas said. “Grapefruit, lemon, pine, dank– it’s all in there.” SW

memorable deaths and some well calibrated performances, but not much else.

The monster itself looks like a combination of a jellyfish, an octopus and some gummy worms, which is actually more frightening than it sounds. the creature starts killing the crew one at a time, which is normally a good time at the movies, but the death and destruction needs to be original enough to carry the repetitive plot. If the mayhem isn’t that strong, then the actors need to be compelling in their own right to be worth rooting for.

“Life” takes some out of column A and some out of column B to give us a few

“Life” wants to be a loving homage to classic monster movies such as “The Thing” and “Alien,” but instead feels like the bastard child of “Gravity,” “Pitch Black” and “Predator.” Luckily, director Daniel Espinosa escalates the intensity because, even when the film is familiar, it’s still pretty fun and fastpaced. Plus, the astronauts are being played by the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal,

Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson, so even when things are quiet the emotional center is there.

The monster itself looks like a combination of a jellyfish, an octopus and some gummy worms, which is actually more frightening than it sounds.

The way it slinks around the cabin of the spacecraft is quite intense, since the creature (named Calvin) can kill quickly and easily. The astronauts don’t stand much of a chance against Calvin, but it’s hard not to root for them anyway.

“Life” wants to have deeper thematic content on its mind, things such as the lengths humanity will go to to protect life, but really only works when

it’s content to be a goofy creature feature. But isn’t that enough? The film is slickly made and garnished with a few pretty nasty surprises. Even though it doesn’t necessarily elevate the genre, maybe it doesn’t need to. Maybe it can exist just like Calvin, as a hybrid bastard creation of good, bad and everything in between. SW

ilm snobs forget that some of the best movies ever made are remakes. John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece “The Thing,” was a remake of the goofy 1951 monster movie “The Thing From Another World.”

David Cronenberg’s 1986 body horror shocker, “The Fly,” was a remake of a ridiculous 1958 flick of the same name.

What these remakes have in common is that they’re far superior to the originals. “Life” feels like a solid remake to a movie I’ve never seen before, but in reality it’s a homage to the truly lasting sci-fi/horror flicks of the last 40 years.

“Life” takes place aboard the international space station as six astronauts make the most important discovery in human history. A sample from a space probe they receive from Mars offers the first real evidence of extraterrestrial life. The organism they find appears to be dormant, but quickly grows into a multi-celled creature, once given breathable atmosphere. Things escalate from there.

Even the worst Almodovar movie is better than 90 percent of everything else, so even if “Julietta” doesn’t rise to the occasion, it should still be a trip worth taking. Tin Pan Theater

KONG: SKULL ISLAND: This new King Kong movie takes all the fun from Peter Jackson’s version and builds an entire film around it. The film is also part of the shared monster universe connecting it with the Godzilla movie from a few years ago. Expect to see these versions of the classic giant monsters fighting each other sometime in 2019. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House LIFE: This is not a re-release of the classic 1999

comedy-drama with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. Instead, this is a sci-fi horror flick along the lines of “Alien” about a team of scientists who discover new life and will do whatever it takes to protect it. This looks like a fun throwback to ‘70s creature features. See full review on p33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

LOGAN: Hugh Jackman reprises his role as

Wolverine one final time in what is being hailed as

the greatest X-Men film of all time. Set in the near future, “Logan” follows Wolverine and Professor X as they attempt to protect one of the final living mutants. Should be even better than advertised.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House

MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE: An irreverent,

hilarious, disturbing and upsetting documentary focusing on Louis Theroux’s investigation into what goes on inside the Church of Scientology. He has a very different take on the Church than any documentary so far, so the film ends up being a fascinating look at some very insidious practices.

Sisters Movie House

POWER RANGERS: The reviews for this are surprisingly positive even with the trailers looking impressively goofy and nonsensical. This is the movie 90’s kids have been waiting half their lives for, so for their sake I hope the film is delightful.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema SPAGHETTI WESTERN WEDNESDAY: $8 gets you an All-U-Can-eat spaghetti dinner and a hootin’ and hollerin’ good time watching old Western classics. Tin Pan Theater

THE BELKO EXPERIMENT: This new horror comedy runs with the wonderful idea of “what if everyone from ‘Office Space’ were forced to try and kill one another.” With a script co-written by James (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) Gunn and directed by Greg (“Wolf Creek”) Mclean, this should be one bloody and intense good time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE BOSS BABY: Here’s your chance to enjoy Alec Baldwin making fart jokes as a cute little animated baby. No, this isn’t him doing 90 minutes of his Trump impression. Instead, it’s a children’s story of a baby with the brain of a businessman.

This one could go either way. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House THE SHACK: Based on the religious book that

even your non-religious friends read. “The Shack” is about a grieving father who has a conversation with God. At times bouncing between serious exploration of faith and a wacky thriller, “The Shack” is either exactly the kind of movie you're looking for or something to drunkenly make fun of with friends. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KEDI: A touching and fascinating portrait of several of the thousands of stray cats that populate the Turkish city of Istanbul. Tin Pan Theater

WILSON: A new underdog story from Daniel Clowes, the brilliant mind behind the criminally under-seen “Ghost World.” This film follows Woody Harrelson as Wilson, a neurotic and bitter man who meets his teenage daughter for the first time. Expect a film both unpredictable and heartwarming. Sisters Movie House ZOOKEEPER’S WIFE: Jessica Chastain

plays the loving wife of a zookeeper as the Nazis overtake Poland. She and her husband help hide fleeing Jews throughout their zoo. This one looks like a tearjerker. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

Kristen Stewart takes a walk on the darker side of things.

I

t’s almost impossible in 2017 to walk into a movie without knowing what to expect. With the advent of Rotten Tomatoes and film trailers coming out six months before the film is released, catching a movie in the theaters is mostly just checking off a list of things we remember from the previews.

That’s one of the reasons why supporting independent films can be such a joy, since most of the time we go into them not knowing what to expect.

What little I had read about “Personal Shopper” made the film sound like a pretentious and slow-moving drama. Instead, director Olivier Assayas has crafted something spellbinding and complicated; a film more interested in the layers of grief and what happens after we die than in telling another hyperbolic independent navel gazer.

Kristen Stewart plays Maureen, a personal shopper for an extremely wealthy celebrity in Paris. Some days she travels to London by train just to shop for jewelry for her demanding client. Her fraternal twin brother recently died of a genetic heart problem they both share. The twins believed they also shared a connection to the spirit world, and Maureen’s brother promised he would make contact following his death. At night, she wanders around her brother’s massive country estate calling his name in the dark, hoping for a sign.

With this film, Kristen Stewart

once again proves her talent as an actress, further distancing herself from the days of “Twilight.” Segments of the film are spent simply watching Stewart texting on her phone, yet she’s always arresting and fascinating. There’s a naturalism to her work that is downright uncanny. When she starts receiving creepy and demanding texts leading her throughout Paris, it’s just as easy to believe she’s following the commands of a ghost as it is to imagine a stalker playing with her mind.

That’s one of the most invigorating things about “Personal Shopper” — the film is so elegantly constructed that the storyline could easily be supernatural or based solely in the real world. Reality is hazy and every moment of the movie is infused with a dream-like quality that’s at times heart-pounding, but always captivating. It’s rare to describe a film this intoxicating, but when one moment of the movie makes you jump while the next breaks your heart, it’s easy to get a little drunk on the power of cinema.

“Personal Shopper” won’t be for everyone. There are no easy answers and certain aspects of the story are left to the viewer’s own interpretation, but this is the kind of movie that begs for sitting around, discussing plot points for hours over tall cups of coffee. This is cinema at its most complex and aggravating, at its most beautiful and intense.

It’s a look at a life surrounded by death, and the highlight of the year so far. SW

by Magdalena Bokowa

Ultimate Frisbee takes center stage in Pine Nursey Park, 4/8,9.

Are you awakening from hibernation? Dusting off those cobwebs?

Alas, dear reader, spring has (sort-of) appeared and this has aroused a serious sense of FOMO related to all things outdoors.

Be sure to mark your calendars — here’s a roundup of upcoming Central Oregon spring and summer outdoor activities.

April 8 & 9

GANDY GOOSE 2017 Wander into the weird and wonderful world of Ultimate Frisbee by getting in on the Gandy Goose action this year.

Oregon Dirt Park. 10barrel.com

May 20

POLE PEDAL PADDLE If Bend were a six-leg relay race, it would be the U.S. Bank Pole Pedal Paddle. Now a local institution it boasts the best of Central Oregon outdoor feats rolled up into one crazy, long race. Participants ski down Mt. Bachelor, cross country through Deschutes forest, then bike, run, paddle and finally, sprint themselves across the finish line. The most avid and outdoorsy people of Bend congregate and form teams to finish the race, with only the super adventure seekers (and fittest athletes) completing it solo. If you’re like us and just the thought of the Pole Pedal Paddle makes you feel worn out, then we advise taking a leisurely stroll down to the Old Mill where you can watch the paddle section overhead from the

bridge. Or better yet, sit on a patio and enjoy the sights while you drink a bevvy. // Mt. Bachelor. pppbend.com

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!

May 27

More than just a day event, the celebration starts early with cocktails and craft beer (just what you need pre-race) and snacks and vendors the day before, while a yoga sesh cools down runners post race. There’s also a kid-friendly option for those mini racers with a Happy Little Kids Race for ages 3-10. Mini races run from a 50-yard dash to .9 mile. // $30-90, depending on race.

Natural World Lights out for birds!

By Jim Anderson 39

Jim Anderson

birds and their role in the earth’s ecosystems, it’s unnecessary to try and put some kind of “value” of birds to compare it with the costs of burning lights at night. Birds are a beautiful part of Earth’s ecosystem and do an immeasurable service for Man. A good example of this situation is the “Tribute in Light” art installation of 88 huge searchlights placed next to the site of the horrifying tragedy of the World Trade Center in New York City.

This has been done to create two vertical columns of light in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks, and is produced by the Municipal Art Society of New York. There are 88 xenon spotlights (44 for each tower) which consume 14,000 watts of electricity.

The lights have caused confusion for thousands of migrating birds, trapping them in the beams. The Municipal Art Society works with the New York City Audubon on the illumination.

Standing right beneath the beams are New York City Audubon volunteers‚ on hand to rescue fallen birds trapped in the lights and scanning the beams, counting numbers of flying birds confused by the lights.

Every time 1,000 birds or more are circling in the beams‚ or an exhausted bird falls to the ground‚ they alert the operator, who immediately turns off the lights for 20 minutes, giving birds a chance to clear the area.

Then there are the hundreds and hundreds of glassed-in towers that are business centers and hotels all throughout the New York/Manhattan countryside, with lights blazing away

Yes, giant wind generator farms kill birds, but unfortunately‚ yard lights and lighted buildings with big windows kill even more.

all night, most of them for advertising their presence, not necessary for someone to see their way.

We don’t have sky-scraping glass towers in Central Oregon, but we do have enough outdoor advertising lights to annoy star-gazers to no end and to confuse a lot of wildlife using the stars for navigation.

In some places in our area where navigation corridors come close to lone, bright outdoor lights, migrating birds can be thrown off course and they can be seen circling the lights, acting as though they’re confused and have lost their way.

In that light (pun intended), East Cascades Audubon Society is asking people to turn off unnecessary lights at sundown, especially on moonless nights. I can recall how vividly lone yard lights attracted my attention when I was flying over them in the vast unpopulated areas of Oregon’s outback, and how distracting they are/ were. SW

How can you help?

• At home, turn off unnecessary exterior lights between dusk and dawn.

• At the office, draw blinds if you’re working after dark. Or use task lighting such as a desk lamp rather than overhead lights that illuminate the entire area.

• Talk to your building owner or manager about turning off unnecessary lights or drawing blinds at night.

Make sure the janitorial crews that serve your office are informed about Lights Out. East Cascades Audubon Society of Bend has fliers you can share with your employer, janitorial crews, and colleagues. www. lightsoutbend.com • Spread the word on social media!

The Lights Out page also provides some sample tweets and Facebook posts. Use the hashtag #lightsout to help build momentum.

I

n the mid ‘70s, Oregon’s environmental watchdog governor, Tom McCall, started the 1,000 Friends of Oregon.

Those were heady days for old-growth forest management, water usage, fuel shortages and the use of electricity.

McCall advocated the shutting down of unnecessary lights after sundown, and in his usual sledge-hammer style of making suggestions, targeted the businesses and electricity-users who were really “wasting” electrical energy by leaving lights on.

Well, that time is still with us. On this occasion, however, shutting down unnecessary lighting will not only save money and electricity and make those who study objects in the night sky ecstatic‚ but also preserve the lives of millions of birds. That’s right. Millions.

Most birds migrate at night, from waterbirds to hummingbirds, from raptors to song birds. Ornithological researchers throughout Canada and the U.S. have been studying the behavior of migrating birds and have noticed a great deal of confusion when they encounter bright lights during their nighttime flights. The birds become very vocal, calling to each other to better understand which is the correct way to go.

When birds encounter tall, glassedin buildings with night lights blazing, it becomes a tragic killing field. Without the ability to see the glass directly in front of the lighted structures, the birds smash into the glass barriers head-on and plummet to the parking lots, sidewalks and streets.

also provides protections and exemptions to landlords under various circumstances.

Current Oregon state law prohibits rent control, but various attempts to change this have been taking place due to the housing shortage and some unscrupulous situations. The affordable housing crisis is a complicated issue that all levels of society and government must address, but finding the solutions to which all parties agree has been difficult. It would be nice if we could get into open and constructive discussion without opponents and proponents demonizing each other, and come up with workable solutions.

41 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 14 / April 6, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n March 30, House Bill 2004A passed the Oregon House Committee on Human Services and Housing. The bill’s provisions include the repeal of Oregon’s ban on rent control and restrictions on a landlord’s ability to evict tenants, namely in the case of no-cause evictions.

If this bill passes, cities and counties will be allowed to adopt rental stabilization programs. The bill also includes provisions for providing a fair rate of return to landlords. It also exempts new residential developments for five years in order to not discourage new housing development.

The provisions of the bill with regard to no-cause evictions penalizes landlords who violate the provisions, which is somewhat similar to the recently passed Portland law. The bill

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS What’s In A Name Change?

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 6, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

42

My career in advice-giving started in 1988 — with a cardboard sign, “Free Advice From A Panel of Experts.” Two friends and I set it out on a Soho, New York street corner and sat down next to it in folding chairs. We just wanted to give people a laugh as they were walking past. But it was New York: the sign said “free”; people wanting advice lined up around the block.

We had suggested topics on our sign — lofty stuff like “Wigs and Beards,” “Recessionary Lifestyles,” and “Getting Rid of Your Jerk.” But people started asking us serious questions, and I thought, “Eekers…I’d better learn a few things, and fast.”

I hadn’t even taken psychology in college.

But I’ve always been a big reader, and I started mowing through books by and about all the biggies of psychology. However, without professors to instruct me on whom I was supposed to be appropriately worshipful of, I veered off into the dangerous territory of free thought — noticing, for example, “Holy moly, Freud just made stuff up.”

Midway through my reading project, The New York Times ran a wee Styles section story on my partners and me, and we started to get a lot of media attention.

We got offered a column in the New York Daily News. But after a few years of writing it, both of my partners dropped out, and it became my column.

One day, a second paper called, wanting to run my column — right away, rush-rush.

“What do you want us to call it?” they asked.

Um…um…I looked over at my business card, which, back then, said, “Amy Alkon, Freelance Goddess.” (In my defense, this was pre-Burning Man and before Goddess was the name of every green drink and yoga studio across the globe.) “Call it ‘The Advice Goddess,’” I told them.

Though advice columns are traditionally the fluff of the paper, I was very aware that these were real people’s lives I was weighing in on, and I was terrified of screwing up.

Also, it seemed irresponsible to give advice solely based on opinion.

I started going to academic conferences, reading scientific studies, and, eventually, having talks with an epidemiologist and statistician on how to vet study methodology. Researchers have been incredibly generous to me — and seem to respect how, well…maniacal I am about getting their work right.

The column has really evolved — to the point where my answer to every question is intensely science-driven; basically, it’s applied behavioral science. So…with the

evolution of my column comes the evolution of my column’s name — to The Science Advice Goddess.

Happy continued reading…

—Amy Alkon

Insecurity Blanket I’m extremely insecure about my looks, though objectively, I know I’m pretty. I constantly ask my boyfriend for reassurance. He gives it to me but feels bad that I feel this way. Now I’m worrying that I’m making such a good case for what’s wrong with me that he’ll start believing me. Possible?

—Bag Over Head

One oft-overlooked beauty secret is to avoid constantly giving a guy the idea that you might actually be ugly.

People will sneer that it’s “shallow” to care about how you look, and Amy Alkon they’re probably right — if it’s all you care about. However, research confirms what most of us recognize about the especially eye-pleasing among us: They get all sorts of benefits — everything from social perks to job opportunities to discounts when they act like dirtbags (with judges assigning them lesser fines and a lower rate of bail for misdemeanors).

As a woman, being babe-alicious is a pretty vital tool for landing and maintaining a relationship, because the features that men — across cultures — evolved to consider beautiful are actually health and fertility indicators. So, for example, full lips and an hourglass bod are basically evolution’s bumper sticker: “Your genes passed on here!”

Not surprisingly, psychologist Tracy Vaillaincourt, who researches competition among women, explains that women attack other women “principally on appearance and sexual fidelity” because men prioritize these qualities in their partners. One way women chip away at rivals is by trash-talking another woman’s looks to a man — suggesting he really could do better. That’s what you’re doing — but to yourself. It’s the relationship version of “Ewww, you’re not really gonna eat that, are you?” (And you’re the fricasseed crickets.)

Beyond that, constantly begging a romantic partner for reassurance — while being kind of a black hole for it — can be toxic to a relationship. Also, the fact that your need for reassurance seems bottomless suggests it’s not your exterior but your interior that’s in need of work. Get cracking on that, and try to remember that your boyfriend is with you for a reason — and it probably isn’t that your mom and grandma are crouched behind your sofa, holding him at gunpoint.

ASTROLOGY

TAURUS (April 20May 20): Are you weary of lugging around decayed guilt and regret?

Is it increasingly difficult to keep forbidden feelings concealed?

Have your friends been wondering about the whip marks from your self-flagellation sessions? Do you ache for redemption? If you answered yes to any of those questions, listen up. The empathetic and earthy saints of the Confession Catharsis Corps are ready to receive your blubbering disclosures. They are clairvoyant, they’re non-judgmental, and best of all, they’re free. Within seconds after you telepathically communicate with our earthly saints, they will psychically beam you eleven minutes of unconditional love, no strings attached. Do it! You’ll be amazed at how much lighter and smarter you feel. Transmit your sad stories to the Confession Catharsis Corps NOW!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Now is an excellent time to FREE YOUR MEMORIES. What comes to mind when I suggest that? Here are my thoughts on the subject. To FREE YOUR MEMORIES, you could change the way you talk and feel about your past.

Re-examine your assumptions about your old stories, and dream up fresh interpretations to explain how and why they happened. Here’s another way to FREE YOUR MEMORIES: If you’re holding on to an insult someone hurled at you once upon a time, let it go. In fact, declare a general amnesty for everyone who ever did you wrong. By the way, the coming weeks will also be a favorable phase to FREE YOURSELF OF MEMORIES that hold you back. Are there any tales you tell yourself about the past that undermine your dreams about the future? Stop telling yourself those tales.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): How big is your vocabulary? Twenty thousand words? Thirty thousand? Whatever size it is, the coming weeks will be prime time to expand it. Life will be conspiring to enhance your creative use of language . . . to deepen your enjoyment of the verbal flow . . . to help you become more articulate in rendering the mysterious feelings and complex thoughts that rumble around inside you. If you pay attention to the signals coming from your unconscious mind, you will be shown how to speak and write more effectively. You may not turn into a silver-tongued persuader, but you could become a more eloquent spokesperson for your own interests.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): We all need more breaks from the routine — more holidays, more vacations, more days off from work. We should all play and dance and sing more, and guiltlessly practice the arts of leisure and relaxation, and celebrate freedom in regular boisterous rituals. And I’m nominating you to show us the way in the coming weeks, Leo. Be a cheerleader who exemplifies how it’s done. Be a ringleader who springs all of us inmates out of our mental prisons. Be the imaginative escape artist who demonstrates how to relieve tension and lose inhibitions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People in your vicinity may be preoccupied with trivial questions. What’s more nutritious, corn chips or potato chips? Could Godzilla kick King Kong’s ass? Is it harder to hop forward on one foot or backward with both feet? I suspect you will also encounter folks who are embroiled in meaningless decisions and petty emotions. So how should you navigate your way through this energy-draining muddle? Here’s my advice: Identify the issues that are most worthy of your attention. Stay focused on them with disciplined devotion. Be selfish in your rapt determination to serve your clearest and noblest and holiest agendas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope that by midMay you will be qualified to teach a workshop called “Sweet Secrets of Tender Intimacy” or “Dirty Secrets of Raw Intimacy” or maybe even “Sweet and Dirty Secrets of Raw and Tender Intimacy.” In other words, Libra, I suspect that you will be adding substantially to your understanding of the art of togetherness. Along the way, you may also have experiences that would enable you to write an essay entitled “How to Act Like You Have Nothing to Lose When You Have Everything to Gain.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): If you have a dream of eating soup with a fork, it might mean that in your waking life you’re using the wrong approach to getting nourished. If you have a dream of entering through an exit, it might mean that in your waking life you’re trying to start at the end rather than the beginning. And if you dream of singing nursery rhymes at a karaoke bar with unlikable people from high school, it might mean that in your waking life you should seek more fulfilling ways to express your wild side and your creative energies. (P.S. You’ll be wise to do these things even if you don’t have the dreams I described.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’re a Quixotic lover, you’re more in love with love itself than with any person. If you’re a Cryptic lover, the best way to stay in love with a particular partner is to keep him or her guessing. If you’re a Harlequin, your steady lover must provide as much variety as three lovers. If you’re a Buddy, your specialties are having friendly sex and having sex with friends. If you’re a Histrionic, you’re addicted to confounding, disorienting love. It’s also possible that you’re none of the above. I hope so, because now is an excellent time to have a beginner’s mind about what kind of love you really need and want to cultivate in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your new vocabulary word is “adytum.” It refers to the most sacred place within a sacred place — the inner shrine at the heart of a sublime sanctuary. Is there such a spot in your world? A location that embodies all you hold precious about your journey on planet Earth?

It might be in a church or temple or synagogue or mosque, or it could be a magic zone in nature or a corner of your bedroom. Here you feel an intimate connection with the divine, or a sense of awe and reverence for the privilege of being alive. If you don’t have a personal adytum, Capricorn, find or create one. You need the refreshment that comes from dwelling in the midst of the numinous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You could defy gravity a little, but not a lot. You can’t move a mountain, but you may be able to budge a hill. Luck won’t miraculously enable you to win a contest, but it might help you seize a hard-earned perk or privilege. A bit of voraciousness may be good for your soul, but a big blast of greed would be bad for both your soul and your ego. Being savvy and feisty will energize your collaborators and attract new allies; being a smart-ass show-off would alienate and repel people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Here are activities that will be especially favorable for you to initiate in the near future: 1. Pay someone to perform a service for you that will ease your suffering. 2. Question one of your fixed opinions if that will lead to you receiving a fun invitation you wouldn’t get otherwise. 3. Dole out sincere praise or practical help to a person who could help you overcome one of your limitations. 4. Get clear about how one of your collaborations would need to change in order to serve both of you better. Then tell your collaborator about the proposed improvement with light-hearted compassion.

Instagram dab smoking videos Putting a video of yourself taking the big, bigger, biggest dab hit ever needs to stop. Why are you doing this? Do you want recognition that you have working lungs? Fine, Champ, kudos to you and your functioning respiratory system! Do you want me to comment “Whoa, dude, that looks awesome!”

I’m not going to do that. The same way I wouldn’t do that with a video of someone chugging a beer or devouring an entire pizza in one sitting. Inhalation isn’t entertaining. It’s called breathing.

Weed leaves on every item of clothing A client was recently nominated for a Dope magazine award, and I went to the awards ceremony in their place.

It was a black tie affair, which some people took to mean wearing clothing head to toe with cannabis leaves. A tie with a single cannabis leaf on it is subtly making a statement. To have every other inch of your clothing covered with them looks desperate. At the annual Dunkin Donuts franchise awards ceremony, people don’t show up in tuxes covered in donut imagery.

Calling good cannabis flower “fire” Unless you are 25 or younger, stop doing this. There are numerous online free thesauri, so use them to find other words that mean “spectacular” “amazing,” etc. Use the majesty of our language to craft better terminology.

Talking over women The day before the flu struck me down, I produced an event. One of the sponsors is a brilliant international traveler who has forgotten more about cannabis and terpenes than most people will ever know, and her company does some truly groundbreaking work. Yet, I watched while one white male after another opted

espite being surrounded by numerous friends who fell victim to the flu going around, I had managed to stay healthy since March of last year, never even getting a cold. “Probably because I take really great care of myself,” I smugly announced whenever the subject came up.

The universe apparently took my smugness as a challenge, and I’m writing this while on day five of being humbled beyond belief.

Between epic bouts of vomiting and a triple digit fever, I’ve tried to stay positive. But I’ve been failing miserably, so this week’s column is a fever dream rant against things in the cannabis world that just need...to... stop.

to interrupt, talk over her, and loudly proclaim that, yeah, they already knew that, because they were doing the thing in question long before anyone else had even considered it. In a surprise to no one who has ever left the house, the women in attendance were attentive listeners who didn’t feel a need to assert dominance over the conversation, and had an exchange based on respectful, engaged listening.

Guys, I recently confirmed this with a physician friend: Your penis will not become permanently flaccid if you shut your ever-flapping jaws and let a woman talk. Not doing so, however, ensures that no woman will want to see said penis anytime soon.

Flapping your gums excessively Christ on a crutch, cannabis industry people, nothing makes me want to see you fail more than viewing numerous social media posts of insipid platitudes and boastful statements. They fall into two categories: How you are hustling and struggling harder, earlier and longer than anyone else, and how much your enemies and opponents don’t get how hard you are, and how their transgressions against you are just making you stronger, and they will suffer your wrath when you ascend to the throne. Two insights: Real ballers don’t waste valuable time (that could be used in doing actual work) crafting pathetic posts about how hard they’re working. Furthermore, it’s highly suspect your haters are obsessively following your SM feed to see if you are getting stronger, and then quaking in fear when you state as much. Try this: Keep it to yourself. No one cares.

You aren’t scaring anyone.
