www.wilsonsofredmond.net

n this race, each of the three candidates brings something valuable to the table, but we believe strongly that the Bend-LaPine School Board needs more members with education backgrounds.

School board members are our best advocates for students and teachers in Salem. Unfortunately, in 2016, the Bend-La Pine school board made the unique decision among school districts around the state to publicly endorse a “no” vote on Measure 97. While the measure may have been flawed, this was a reflection of a board less concerned with advocating for school funding, and one more concerned with protecting business interests that may have been harmed by the passage of the measure.

Candidate Troy Reinhart is a strong business leader who would advocate well for the Bend-La Pine district in Salem. Furthermore, we wholeheartedly agree with his stance that the school board—and the district in general— should improve its communication with the public. Troy got our attention with his denunciation of the poor communication to parents, especially around the recent Highland School gym collapse. However, Reinhart still believes that the state has a spending problem rather than a revenue problem, and we can’t support that position. Reinhart points out that revenues are up while overlooking the staggering number of kids in attendance that are also up as corollary to the rising tax base. In these tough, tough times for schools, Bend-La Pine needs someone who can keep an eye on the bottom line, while more importantly advocating for new and larger revenue streams for our kids.

Candidate Ricardo Olegario has a

strong background with school budgets. He currently sits on the Bend-La Pine budgetary committee. He would be a solid advocate for the district, but, by comparison with the competing candidates in this race, he is simply outmatched in business acumen on the one hand and educational specialty on the other.

We are endorsing Carrie McPherson Douglass because she has committed her life to education. With a teaching degree, along with an MBA, and commitment to student achievement— through the educational nonprofit she’s led for the past 15 years—we believe Douglass has her priorities in the right place and is a good fit for the direction in which the Bend-LaPine School system is heading.

We agree with the assertion Douglass made during our endorsement interview that people who understand education are able to ask tougher, more specific questions about the vision, standards, budget, staffing and other issues that fall upon school boards to decide. We encourage her to find a strong voice to tackle these many issues with the fortitude and assertiveness the job requires.

Vote for Carrie McPherson Douglass for the Administrative School District 1 Zone 7 At Large spot. SW Need more information before you decide?

2. Why do you still call yourself a Republican?

3. What is wrong with you?

@flycascades shows us the snowpack by helicopter. Tag @sourceweekly and show up here in Lightmeter.

ing daycares and been on waitlists since I was 4 months pregnant. The earliest we’ve found available was about 1 year out from her birth - hardly a feasible option for a working mom. The cost for infant care averages about the same as we pay in rent for a daycare and even more for a nanny.

Currently, trying to secure a teacher/ friend as a nanny for the summer and maybe availability will open up at one of the daycares in the Fall or we may try to find others in the same situation as us and interested in a “nanny share” (to help offset the higher cost.) I certainly intend to find legal/licensed and professional care for my daughter, but I can see how others have felt that they didn’t have many options. Leaving your child(ren) in the care of someone else is difficult to say the least. Every parent trusts that they are leaving their child(ren) with someone responsible and loving and it’s deplorable that there are people in this world that take advantage of that trust and knowingly endanger and neglect the child(ren) in their care.

— Jen Inskeep Korinke, via facebook.com We are lucky enough to have retired parents close by. I couldn’t imagine trying to pay for childcare while in college with a partner that is a full time teacher. If COCC and OSU Cascades would offer child care enrollment numbers would go through the roof. Instead, COCC built a 30 million dollar dorm that is half full.

IN RESPONSE TO, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (4 /5) Oregon has been fortunate in having had two courageous senators. Note, I said “having had” and not “having.” I am referring to Henry Lane and Wayne Morse.

Both had the courage and integrity to stand in opposition to overwhelming votes in the senate. In Henry Lane’s case he was one of six senators who refused to vote for Woodrow Wilson’s plan to have the United States enter what was supposed to be the war to end all wars but became the First World War instead. Students of that war appreciate how disastrous that misadventure was. Others will cling to the war’s attendant myths. Wayne Morse was part of a much smaller minority when he and Senator Ernest Gruening (D-Alaska) were the only senators to refuse to vote for the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution to give Lyndon Johnson authority to engage U.S. troops in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war in response to an alleged attack on a U.S. Navy ship patrolling in the Gulf of Tonkin that proved to be more fiction than fact. Fast forward to April 6, and we find our current senators joining all the lemmings buying into what was very likely a false flag event in Syria with the alleged chemical agent dispersed in Idlib Province in Syria despite varying theories as to the cause being available for consideration. In other words, a rush to judgment without a proper investigation to get at the facts as in the Tonkin Gulf incident when more war is a risk. Note that an earlier gas attack in 2013 was attributed to the Assad regime, but that

accusation was not sustained after independent scrutiny. There was a very good debate at Consortium News (dot com) making a case for a false flag event in Khan Sheikhoun more plausible. On the home front, our two senators do a reasonably good job, but when it comes to foreign affairs they leave much to be desired.

Oh, Whisnant got pretty aggressive at the Sunriver town hall too. Knopp actually had to stop him because it was getting embarrassing. It was pathetic to see our “representative” get visually heated when anyone made a comment that opposed his point of view.

NEWS By Chris Frye Opioid Epidemic

In light of rampant overdoses, an Oregon Senate bill aims to limit access to opiates in the state

he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has officially declared an opioid epidemic in the United States—and Oregon is definitely not immune. In an attempt to fight the epidemic, the Oregon state senate will be voting on Senate Bill 270 on April 18—a bill introduced by the Committee on Health Care for Oregon Department of Justice.

The bill is aimed at limiting the number of pills a patient can receive on their initial prescription fill. The bill reads as follows: “prohibits issuing initial prescriptions for opiates to adults for outpatient use in quantity exceeding seven-day supply. The bill would also prohibit issuing initial and refill prescriptions for opiates to minors for outpatient use in quantity exceeding seven-day supply.”

Sen. Tim Knopp, who serves on the Senate Committee on Health Care, feels the bill is necessary, he says, “because Oregon has an opiate overdose problem.”

According to a study conducted by the Oregon Health Authority on Drug overdose deaths, hospitalizations, abuse and dependency among Oregonians, Knopp seems to be on track.

The study stated that, “In 2012 Oregon had 164 unintentional and undetermined prescription opioid overdose deaths—three times higher than the rate in 2000.” To make matters worse, the study states that “280 million pills are prescribed in Oregon annually.

That is more than any other state in the nation and is the equivalent to 70 pills for every man, woman and child in Oregon per year.”

According to the CDC: “The majority of drug overdose deaths (more than six out of 10) involve an opioid. Since 1999, the number of overdose deaths involving opioids (including prescription opioids and heroin) quadrupled.

From 2000 to 2015 more than half a million people died from drug overdoses.” The CDC also states, “that

the most common drugs involved in prescription opioid overdose deaths include: methadone, oxycodone and hydrocodone.

Dwight Holton, CEO of Lines For Life, a nonprofit dedicated to substance abuse and suicide prevention, said in an article in “OHSU News,” “First we need to have less pills.” Bill de Blasio, Governor of New York, likewise believes that an overabundance of pills is the problem, but in an article in “The Observer,” he went a step further by saying the root of the overabundance is the drug makers. “The overuse of these drugs was planned by the pharmaceutical industry and the results have been devastating.

And now this is a problem being felt in households all over this city and all over this country.”

Still, bills such as Senate Bill 270 won’t solve this problem alone. During an interview with Portland’s KOIN 6, DEA Special Agent in Charge in Oregon, Cam B. Strahm stated that, “enforcement alone, treatment alone and prevention alone is not the solution. You have to put all three together.” Holton stated that defeating this opioid crisis in Oregon will also take, “increased access to treatment, better disposal options for unused pills and stronger education.”

Oregon leaders, including Bend’s Sen. Knopp, say they are “working in a bipartisan way to make sure we have legislation that works.”

The bill comes up for a vote in the state Senate April 18—the last day that initial bills can be voted upon this session. If you have an opinion on the bill, email the members of the Senate Committee On Health Care. Interested parties can also visit the Oregon Legislative Information website to learn of scheduled events such as committee meetings or floor sessions. SW

Payroll Woes

A change in the pay system at COCC forces 115 employees to receive reduced paychecks

r

A

t Central Oregon Community College, full time classified employees including librarians, technicians, maintenance workers and janitors, recently found themselves facing a payroll change that, although legal, is causing some dismay.

In March and April, approximately 115 COCC full-time, non-exempt hourly workers were forced to accommodate a payroll update which resulted in employees receiving just half of their paychecks spread out over two months to switch to a lag payroll system. If an employee usually receives a $2,000 monthly paycheck, then for March, they would have received $1,000. The shortfall will be made up when an employee leaves COCC— whenever that may be.

“I could tell you stories of COCC employees who qualified for food stamps, who were unable to purchase a home, who decided to retire early, who quit their job, who took out COCC loans with Mid Oregon Credit Union, and whose PERS retirement benefits (will) be adversely affected – as a direct result of the pay decreases in March and April,” says a current COCC employee, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of losing their job.

and a month later you will receive a paycheck for the remainder of March.”

Employees will receive a full paycheck for Aprils hours by May 15, resulting in a two week lag.

The document goes on to say that employees can better prepare for the change by “identifying any recurring and automatic billing payments, such as mortgage, bank or rent with due dates that may need to be adjusted.”

“But since when is telling your landlord you’ll be late on rent two months in a row a possibility?” says another COCC employee, “I mean, they expect our landlord, utility company, child’s daycare, to just be compassionate and understanding that suddenly I only have half of my income? As if changing my due date was a real possibility? It’s illogical but they make it sound like it’s a possibility.”

The COCC document also encouraged employees to “start setting money aside between now and March 2017 to help with the transition.” As the COCC staff member pointed out, “most of us live paycheck-to-paycheck. We don’t have extra income to just set aside.” Further in the document, COCC states that “the College will make available the option to take

“The lag payroll system, aka web time entry, did nothing for the classified employees of COCC, except cause many of —LANI SYKES them financial hardships.”

This was no accounting error. Rather, it was a plan set in motion by the college a year ago, to move from what they say was an outdated timesheet model that worked on estimated pay to a more accurate real-time web model, known as a lag payroll system.

In an internal document obtained by the Source, a chart shows COCC’s implementation of the system known as “Web Time Entry” which says that on March 15, “you will be paid for 88 hours (approximately half a paycheck),

extra payroll draws combined with the one-time use of up to 80 hours...of the employee’s accrued vacation to soften the impact of the change.”

“Yeah, that was very gracious of them,” says a worker, “I get paid my vacation and still have to work. So if I wanted to take any paid time off this year, I wouldn’t be able to. It’s kind of bananas.”

An interview request with David Dona, chief financial officer at COCC, went unanswered. However, Ron

Paradis, the executive director of college relations, defends the change, stating, “We do know that this was an inconvenience. We understand that and acknowledge that. We were still using paper timesheets. It was a really inefficient system. So employees were being paid at the end of the month for the current month with an estimated hours worked. We would have to go back the following month and make adjustments for any time off, overtime, etc.

“It did result in a lag period for employees for the first month. We did allow them to borrow against their upcoming paycheck for a six-month period, so that someone could spread out the lack of pay,” he continued.

Paradis also pointed to an employee going to the Mid Oregon Credit Union where they obtained a six percent rate loan.

COCC employees, however, note that this was because the college failed to provide a no-interest loan of its own. “Other colleges and cities that also dealt with new lag payroll systems...offered transition loans or no-interest loans to affected employees,” says the COCC employee.

“When asked to do the same, COCC refused to offer either transitions loans (to be repaid as a deduction from final paychecks when employees leave COCC) or no-interest loans.”

Paradis states, “We do understand there was an extra two weeks, but we did give a number of options… They could take some overtime and it would cover it, they could take some vacation time to cover it, borrow against their paycheck that would cover it, etc. A combination of things.”

payroll, Paradis noted that although that option was discussed, it “would have required two different sets of payroll processing. And we have employees that stay here for a long period of time, 20-30 years, so that would have been a long time.”

Lani Sykes, the president of the COCC Classified Association, notes the strain this has put on the classified members. “This academic year has been an incredibly tumultuous one for the majority of our members,” she says. “The lag payroll system, aka web time entry, did nothing for the classified employees of COCC, except cause many of them financial hardships.”

The Classified Association is due to enter negotiations regarding future employment contracts with the college. “Going forward into negotiations, all we ask is that we’re treated fairly and openly, with respect and recognition, as we are the foundation of the college. We want to trust that all counter proposals will be submitted with professionalism and in accordance with good faith bargaining.”

An unidentified Classified employee sums up the situation, saying: “It’s uncomfortable for staff to complain publicly about the pay cuts. We don’t want to be identified as complainers or disloyal employees. We could lose our jobs.”

She continues, “The college’s actions and reluctance to adopt measures to reduce the effects of wage cuts may be legal but it gives a negative message to affected employees and sets a dangerous precedent.” SW

Oregon Environment Efforts Keep Calm And Carry On Under Trump

BY HILARY CORRIGAN

8 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 13, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

—

ooking east from Bend’s Pilot Butte, the large arrays of solar panels near Neff Road stand out.

So do Oregon’s major environment, energy and climate-related efforts, as they keep chugging along regardless of recent actions from the federal level.

To renewable energy proponents, the solar projects popping up around the Bend region offer a bright spot following an executive order and budget proposal from President Donald Trump in recent weeks that have called for scrapping certain environment-related policies and slashing resources for the federal agency that was created to protect the environment and human health.

“Oregon is as committed as ever to these things,” said Cassandra Moseley, director of the Institute for a Sustainable Environment and of the Ecosystem Workforce Program at the University of Oregon. “If we try to find somewhat of a silver lining, you see Oregon trying to stay focused.”

Executive Orders

Cypress Creek Renewables solar farm on Neff Road.

Last month, Trump proposed a 2018 budget that would reduce EPA’s budget by $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, and cut about 3,200 agency positions.

Also in March, Trump issued an executive order emphasizing a national interest in promoting clean, safe development of the nation’s energy resources ensuring affordable electricity and avoiding regulatory burdens that hinder energy production, economic growth and job creation. The order calls for executive agencies to review existing rules that may burden the development and use of U.S. energy resources. Agencies could then suspend, change or rescind those rules. The order calls for the review to pay particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear energy resources.

Trump’s order specifically calls for rescinding and revoking various Obama Administration executive orders, plans and reports related to energy and climate change. It calls for rescinding guidance for federal agencies to consider greenhouse gas emissions and climate change when conducting required environmental reviews of projects. It also specifically calls for reviewing the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. That plan from former President Barack Obama would set the first national standards on carbon from power plants, in a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A statement from the White House Office of the Press Secretary on Trump’s executive order

said that, “by revisiting the federal overreach on energy regulation, President Trump is returning power to the states—where it belongs.”

Western Governors Chart Another Course Responding to Trump’s proposed rollback of the Clean Power Plan, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, California Gov. Jerry Brown, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and the mayors of Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles jointly stated that they planned to “assert our own 21st Century leadership and chart a different course.”

The West Coast leaders called climate change “one of our greatest threats,” noting more resulting wildfires, ocean acidification that can harm the shellfish industry, and drought that can impact agriculture.

“Too much is at stake—from our health and safety to our jobs and livelihoods—for us to move backwards,” the group said, adding that they planned to continue their efforts on clean energy and electrifying the transportation sector.

In a statement, U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, said he planned to introduce legislation to map out a path to a 100 percent renewable energy system by 2050.

Solar Firms & Power Companies Continue to Lay Plans West Coast elected officials aren’t the only ones with plans.

In the Bend area, the push for renewable power continues. The Bend region already has a number of solar projects in the works, according to the nonprofit Renewable Northwest. There’s Cypress Creek Renewables’ two solar facilities producing 10 megawatts each off Bend’s Neff Road. Bear Creek Solar Center LLC, part of Virginia-based Coronal Energy, continues plans to develop a 10-megawatt solar facility on about 90 acres nearby, just east of Bend, north of Highway 20 and south of Neff Road. Other area projects in various stages of development include Tumbleweed Solar along Highway 97 toward Redmond; the Empire Solar and Gala Solar facilities, each 56 megawatts, between Bend and Prineville; the 34-megawatt Ponderosa Solar, the 56-megawatt Tango Solar and the 55-megawatt Prineville Solar Energy, all closer to Prineville; and the Adams Solar Center and Elbe Solar Center, each 10 megawatts, near Madras.

Utilities are also planning for renewables and climate change. In a statement on the executive order, Portland General Electric noted that it has advocated for years to reduce carbon emissions at a reasonable cost, adding that Trump’s executive order likely would not affect its operations.

“We feel strongly that climate change must be addressed at the national level. It is unfortunate that we are not moving forward as a nation to address this global problem,” PGE stated. The utility still plans to stop using coal at its 575-megawatt plant in Boardman by the end of 2020 and is exploring the possibility of converting the plant to use biomass instead.

“PGE will continue to add renewable resources and reduce emissions to meet Oregon’s ambitious clean energy standards, and we are on track to eliminate coal at our Boardman plant by the end of 2020,” the utility stated. “This work will continue to move forward regardless of what happens at the federal level.”

Meanwhile, Pacific Power, part of PacifiCorp, laid out a $3.5 billion long-term energy plan early this month that calls in part for more renewable energy resources over the next 20 years, including nearly 2,000 megawatts of new wind resources; about 900 megawatts of upgraded wind resources; and about 1,000 megawatts of new solar resources.

State efforts proceed In March, Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality and the Oregon Health Authority released a draft framework to guide upcoming rules of the Cleaner Air Oregon program, started in 2016 after high levels of heavy metal toxins from glass m anufactur ing facilities turned up in the Portland area—despite the facilities’ compliance with federal regulations.

“There’s a gap in the current regulations,” Joe Westersund, Cleaner Air Oregon coordinator at DEQ, said of rules for industrial air toxics.

Existing regulations are not based on the impact of emissions to human health. The new rules for industrial air toxics aim to do so. They will apply to stationary emission sources such as power plants, factories and manufacturing facilities, but DEQ continues determining which facilities may fall under the new rules. The program’s funding will come largely from permit fees. It’s unlikely that EPA budget or staff cuts would affect the effort, according to Westersund.

“We’re a little more insulated,” Westersund said of the program and the prospective cuts to EPA. DEQ’s advisory committee is meeting a few times through the spring to review the draft framework, a conceptual design of rules. DEQ will then draft rules and information on their fiscal impacts later this spring, followed by public comment. The Oregon Environmental Quality Commission, which oversees DEQ, could decide on the rules in spring 2018.

Meanwhile, a separate state effort to review the possibility of a cap-and-trade system in Oregon produced a report from DEQ in February.

The state legislature had asked the agency last year to check into how such a market-based approach might work in Oregon, as a way to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A cap-and-trade

Wind farms are another source of remewable energy.

Char Miller need significant legal findings to support such a move. And that move would clash with the idea of states’ rights—a notion championed in the past by new EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.

“I think it’s a long shot,” McConnaha said of a denial.

He also noted that the Clean Power Plan— although it has the potential to impact the carbon levels of electricity for states—had not yet taken effect anyway, due to a court challenge.

Since there was no state strategy to implement it, Trump’s executive order to review the Clean Power Plan doesn’t actually halt it any further.

“It just really adds to the already high level of uncertainty,” McConnaha said of the order.

State law is the driving force for controlling carbon emissions in Oregon anyway, he noted.

Oregon already has targets for boosting renewable energy – 50 percent by 2050 – and for divesting Oregon utility ratepayers from coal-fired generation by 2035. Such state efforts will continue regardless of executive orders, McConnaha said.

So would any cap-and-trade system, if Oregon chooses that route.

“Oregon’s potential pursuit of implementing a cap-and-trade program is largely unaffected by possible changes in federal regulations,” McConnaha said in an email.

The road ahead Moseley, of the University of Oregon, expects to see more state and local efforts and experi-

ments on environment issues. She also expects to see lawsuits over Trump’s executive order that target rules based on law and policy that remain intact. For instance, the provision in Trump’s order rescinding guidance for federal agencies to consider greenhouse gas emissions and climate change when conducting required environmental reviews of projects will likely spark a lawsuit as soon as an agency tries to skip that step.

Char Miller, an environmental analysis professor at Pomona College who has written several books about environment issues in the West, also expects lawsuits over the executive order’s rollback of the requirement for a review of climate change implications. Those projects take place in states, Miller noted, adding that he could not imagine courts saying that, “the states don’t have the right to protect their citizens’ health and well-being.”

Miller suspects that Trump’s recent moves on environment issues have turned many citizens and groups into states’ rights advocates. And he expects states themselves, not just environmental organizations, to play leading roles in lawsuits.

“A lot of this is going to play out in the judicial system,” Miller said.

Miller pointed to the huge outdoor recreation and renewable energy industries, plus the long-standing citizen and political desire in western states supporting environment issues and renewable energy, as driving forces. But cuts to the EPA’s budget and staff could hinder that agency from enforcing environmental regulations.

“Which is why it’s up to the states to push forward,” Miller said.

“This is just the opening act of a multi-act play,” Moseley said, noting that other acts will involve Congress, federal budgets and court cases.

“There’s a long road ahead.” SW

system limits emissions from sources like electric providers and industrial facilities with a cap and lets those emitters trade their allowances—permits for certain amounts of allowed emissions— in a market. DEQ’s new report found that capand-trade would help the state limit emissions in a cost-effective way. The study did not consider benefits from reducing pollution, DEQ stated.

Oregon’s other environment-related efforts also continue.

The state already has a Clean Fuels Program that seeks to reduce the carbon in transportation fuels over time through set standards. And Oregon had already adopted California’s low-emissions vehicles standards, meant to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution from vehicles over time. Using California’s rules means that those limits remain in place even if federal rules change, DEQ has noted on its website.

Oregon had also already adopted California’s program that aims to increase the number of zero-emissions vehicles, such as electric vehicles, by requiring manufacturers to sell more of those types of vehicles in the state over time.

California gets a waiver from the EPA for those stricter emissions limits. Uncertainty now swirls around whether the EPA will again grant that waiver to ensure that California and states like Oregon that have adopted its stricter limits can continue their existing programs.

Colin McConnaha, senior climate policy advisor at Oregon DEQ, recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., where he talked with other states’ officials about their various programs and goals, and the signals coming from the current Administration.

The denial of the waiver, for instance, would be a concern “if that was a credible threat,” McConnaha said. But denying the waiver would

SOUND Last Up: Ravi

Jazz series wraps up with Ravi Coltrane, son of the late great saxophonist

by Seth Gehman

Ravi Coltrane brings his post bop mix to the Riverhouse Friday and Saturday nights.

of his own sound. Thom Jurek (biographer) says “tenor saxaphonist Ravi Coltrane’s sound is huskier, more mercurial, evoking Joe Henderson or Johnny Griffin more than his father.” While always sharing some of the limelight with his father, he’s always set his sights on following his own art, and allowing it to direct him away stylistically from his parents and their influences on modern jazz.

Midway through a rigorous cross-country tour, Ravi brings his quintet to Bend for two nights of live jazz. Each night begins at 6:30pm with a students’ performance, then Portland Innovation Project opens with an exciting set of jazz improvisation, followed by what one can only guess will be an unforgettable night of live music here in Bend.

The series will return for another seven-month run beginning in October, starting with none other than the likes of Kandace Springs. Hailing

from Nashville and recording on Blue Note Records, Kandace was originally noticed by Prince in 2012 after releasing her first EP, which has led to a blossoming career.

The jazz series’ Marshall Glickman says, “Five years from now this woman will be a superstar, and we are lucky to have her grace the stage in Bend at the cusp of her career.”

For a city the size of Bend to be able to bring musicians of this caliber to play is a real treasure in the growth of culture here in Central Oregon—so if you haven’t already had the chance to attend the shows at the Riverhouse, don’t despair, another amazing season of jazz, or more importantly, American music, is coming your way. SW

• Kandace Springs, Oct. 20-21.

Springs caught Prince’s attention before his passing, saying about her: “Kandace has a voice that could melt snow.”

• Donald Harrison & Terell Stafford, Nov. 17-18. Harrison, a saxophonist and actor, is dubbed the “King of Noveau Swing.” Playing with trumpeter Stafford, the night will blend jazz with hip-hop, soul, rock and New Orleans music.

• Darrell Grant and David Goldblatt, Dec 22-23, each with performances that will be backed

by Chris Brown on drums, Dave Captein on bass, and guest appearances by saxophonist John Nastos.

• Buster Williams, Lenny White and George Colligan, Jan 1213. Legends Williams (bass) and White (drums) play with pianist Colligan.

• Regina Carter, Feb 16-17. One of the foremost jazz violinists on the scene.

• Taylor Eigsti, Harish Raghaven, Eric Harland & Julian Lage, Mar 23-24. An all-star lineup!

• Dan Balmer, Apr 20-21. The Portland-based guitarist plays with three of his jazz groups.

n case you’re out of the loop, here’s the deal: over the course of the last seven months, the Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz Series has been bringing some big names in modern jazz here to Central Oregon. The series wraps up this weekend, with two nights featuring a big name in jazz, Ravi Coltrane— who also happens to be the son of one of the late greats in the genre, John Coltrane. Son Ravi was also a 2017 Grammy nominee for best improvised jazz solo performance, touring now with the Ravi Coltrane Quintet.

Born in Long Island, N.Y. in the mid 1960s into jazz royalty by parents John (saxophone) and Alice (piano) Coltrane, it comes as some surprise that it took Ravi (named after Indian sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar) until he was in his early 20s to begin pursuing music. That eventually led him to his current work in the genre of post bop—a style of jazz that borrows stylistically from hard bop, modal jazz, avant-garde and free jazz, while nevertheless not sounding much like any of them.

When he entered the jazz world, Ravi was a sideman in many projects, recording on more than 30 albums before taking the helm of his own group. Now with 20 years recording as a bandleader and nine studio albums under his belt, Coltrane is focused on composing, recording and touring, playing jazz festivals and other events around the world.

As co-owner of RKM Records, he’s also busy in the studio, working the sound board and recording other acts—which keeps him hopping when he’s not on the road touring in support

Synthesized Stamina

Now in their 20th year, The New Pornographers bring a new upbeat, cohesive sound

By Magdalena Bokowa

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 13, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

ucking the indie rocker norm, Canadian band The New Pornographers has weathered the changing musical landscape, releasing their seventh studio album, “Whiteout Conditions.” Expect increased tempos, heavy synths and expanded harmonies and fewer solo vocals, adding to a more unified sound. Cohesion is a tough feat to achieve for a band whose arguably best attribute is its multiple indie superstar “front persons,” à la Carl Newman, Neko Case and Dan Bejar.

“Mainly, I would of been shocked that we’re still here,” begins Carl Newman, speaking with the Source from New York as he prepared for the upcoming tour. As other indie rock outfits have ebbed and flowed out of the scene, the band— now in its 20th year— has managed to stay relevant, appealing to newer crowds, consciously taking breaks and adjusting to change. They have focused on making their sound distinct and unified, ever since their 2014 album, “Brill Bruisers,” so there’s less of a “this is a Neko Case or Dan Bejar song.” It’s just the New Pornos, with layer synth, uncomplicated song structures and a strong focus on harmony. The band throws references to Krautrock (experimental German rock) — with quick tempo songs like Avalanche Alley and inadvertently adds commentary to the “Trump anxiety” Newman says they all felt through the single, “High Ticket Attractions.”

“I think it just happens,” notes Newman on the evolved sound, “both consciously and unconsciously as music changes. Now we have bands like the Animal Collective and Tame Impala, and I love what they are doing…It’s not that we decide we want to imitate them, but it’s hard to avoid the influences that’s happening around you.

You hear it in bands like Spoon; they started using a lot more keyboards. We do, too.

It just seeps in.”

Title track, “Whiteout Conditions,” and the track, “Play Money,” showcase this metaphorized sound, which Newman says came together pretty quickly. He’s particularly proud of the crazy loud synth on the latter track. “It’s always been in our heads to want to use arpeggiators, (a type of synthesizer) because we love things like “Call Me” by Blondie. So you know, it sounds like something that’s going on in music now, but it also sounds like something that was going on in music when we were kids.”

He notes this musical transition has been well on its way, ever since the band heard “Soft Bulletin” by The Flaming Lips in 1999. “That was keyboard heavy,” says Newman, “So it was sort of a template (and) it’s a pretty influential record. The ideas were going on from then on.”

Reflecting on the journey, Newman notes, “Back in the day, we wanted to use synthesizers but it just wasn’t the time.”

Even on the first record, I remember

‘Whiteout Conditions,’ was released April 7.

messing around with drum loops on one song because I wanted to give it a huge hiphop drum loop...so we’ve had these ideas but we’ve held back, thinking, let’s just be a rock band for now.’”

And a pretty successful rock band they’ve been, with a cult-like following, amassing notches on “Rolling Stone’s” 100 Best Albums of the Decade (#79 for “Electric Version”) and “Blender” Magazine’s 24th Best Indie Album of All Time (“Mass Romantic”). Newman acknowledges that for a time the band got very good at pumping out upbeat pop-like records. “We had a formula,” he says, “but after three records I was sick of it and said, ‘enough of that.’” It was at this point that the band gravitated to quieter songs influenced by both Newman and Bejar, who is notably absent from this record and subsequent tour. “There’s nothing going on with Dan being absent, he’s just said that he’s writing weird quiet songs. And I wanted this record to be very fast and light.”

The band’s durability can also be attributed to these moments where band members do their own thing. Newman, now living in Woodstock, N.Y is occupied by raising his young son and writing music.

Bejar has had half a dozen projects including being frontman for Destroyer, supergroup Swan Lake and as a duo as Hello, Blue Roses. Neko Case’s 2013 album “The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You” catapulted her to fame with a Grammy nomination.

The band is now embarking on a sixweek tour beginning in L.A. and moving onto Europe, where they expect to play both the new material and songs from their older records. “It’s a cool job playing music in front of people. We just try to remember that and have fun,” says Newman. He notes the New Pornographers will keep evolving, “We thought, let’s try to be what we were like in the beginning...but more manipulated by crazy keyboards, sequencers and arpeggiators and that’s how we got here.”

Expect the band to be around for some time. SW

This is the heart-stopping scenario facing a talented and courageous group of (mostly) drama students at Redmond High School as they prepare for the “24/7 Project” (as in 24 hours and seven plays) beginning Friday evening. That’s when seven sets of student writers, actors and directors will begin taking their short plays “from page to stage” in one day. By 7pm Saturday, they will have created seven

“It’ll be really fun. I’ll get to interpret how I want the actors to do it —and after four years of learning and participating, I’m pretty sure about my abilities.”

Another 24/7 director, Lupita Ortiz, also looks forward to the challenge.

“I feel like it’s going to give me the experience of being in charge. I think the challenge is the timing —having

BOOK TALK

A Novel Idea: Yaa Gyasi and “Homegoing”

After its inception in 2004, the Deschutes Public Library Foundation’s “A Novel Idea” concept is no longer, well, novel—but it continues to be a forum that brings people together under the noble banner of reading good literature.

When I picked up a copy of the 2017 Novel Idea selection, “Homegoing,” by Ghanian-American author Yaa Gyasi, and began reading the first few pages, my initial thoughts were: “What are readers in

to brainstorm about what we want to happen, and then have the actors come in and see how it all plays out with the actors and the props.

Tellinghusen came upon this rather non-traditional theater idea last year in Bend, where she served as a playwright at a similar 24/7 event held at the 2nd Street Theater. (Local playwright Cricket Daniel, who produced that event, has agreed to assist with Redmond High’s version.) Once she participated, Tellinghusen knew she had to somehow get her students involved in the process.

“It was such an invigorating experience for me and for everyone involved,” she says. “I immediately thought, I want kids to be doing this because you discover so much about yourself.”

Jackson Dean, a 24/7 writer, is a first-time playwright, but he does have other experience. He knows he’ll really need to concentrate to get the job

done. “I have written a movie script before,” he says. “Something that’s hard for me is just staying on task. It’s a challenge for the staff since they have limited time to make something really good out of it.”

One final twist: Tellinghusen plans to round out the cast with Redmond High student volunteers who aren’t even actors, as well as possibly using students from a middle school if needed. Another added wrinkle in an already nerve-jangling night of theater.

“I just think it’s gonna be crazy fun.” she says. SW

By Nicole Vulcan far-flung Oregon going to get out of a story about the Transatlantic slave trade, Ghana and early black Americans?” The answer: Answers.

Too often, the first question out of people’s mouths when talking about intergenerational poverty and the effects of the slave trade is: ‘It happened a long time ago. Why don’t they just get over it?’

As I continued to read, it became clear, at least in my mind, that this book (and its selection for Novel Idea) was intended to address that ongoing question—salient for a community so often touted as “mostly white.” If the ethnic makeup

we read about in Deschutes County Census data makes us feel insulated from the history and challenges of the wider world—and to the stories of people of color in our own community—it shouldn’t.

The story starts with two sisters in Ghana, one sold into slavery and moved to the United States; the other married off to a slave trader closer to home. From there, we see the subsequent generations face the challenges of their time, including the freeing of American slaves, followed quickly by the imprisonment and forced labor of black Americans, and later their widespread migration to urban centers and the press of poverty and drug abuse.

Following the thread of this family helps us see how we inherit the stories of those who came before us—and how the notion of “just getting over it”

is not so simple. If you haven’t checked out your copy of “Homegoing” from the Deschutes Public Library, there’s still time—but it’s running out. Author Yaa Gyasi is visiting Bend May 7. Tickets go on sale Friday, and presentations related to the event are happening each week until the event. Check DeschutesLibrary.org for a full list of events. SW

ow long would it take you to write a seven-minute play?

Remember, you can’t just throw down whatever ramblings wander into your head. This play needs a coherent beginning, middle and end, just like they taught you in English class.

Seven minutes that make dramatic sense. You know the elements: Plot.

Theme. Character.

Imagine staring at that blank computer screen, the flashing cursor mocking you. Here’s all the help you get: one character name, one line of dialogue, one prop and one pop culture reference. Those are the “writing prompts.”

Hurry. You have eight hours.

Why the rush? Because the actors need to learn their lines. The crew needs to find props and build sets. The director needs to bring it all together.

You’re already falling behind, and the play opens in 24 hours.

Central Oregon retiree carves his own niche

By Richard Sitts

ARTWATCH

Blackman says. “It’s just a matter of trying to take care of the people who got damaged in war.”

Blackman was born in Spokane but lived for the most part in Portland before moving to the Redmond area about 20 years ago. He spent 26 years with the Army National Guard. For 20 years of that he was on the National Rifle Team, traveling around to rifle matches all over the country.

When he’s not creating wood or steel pieces in one of his shops, Blackman is a volunteer tutor for GED students at Central Oregon Community College (COCC), and also volunteers with his wife, Margie Gregory, with the Latino Community Association.

He has two grown children, a daughter living in Indiana and a son in Madras.

He and Margie have been married for the past six years.

“I do stuff to support the Latino community,” he says. As part of one of LCA’s annual fundraisers, he auctions off an introduction to blacksmithing class. The top four bidders get to come out to his shop for a four-hour session, followed by food prepared by Margie.

He covers the history of blacksmithing and gives a demonstration, and then the students get to make something of

n a recent breezy morning, volunteers gathered at the Central Oregon Veterans Ranch in the high desert backcountry between Bend and Redmond to hang a new sign to grace the front of the ranch. The welded and computer cut sign was designed and put together by local resident George Blackman, who needed help in wrestling the 250-pound behemoth.

After Blackman adapted and changed the scale of the logo, local company CR Fabrication in Redmond cut out the pattern on the sign, including stars and letters. Leading up to the installation, Blackman had been figuring out the best method to hang the sign—lining up the screw holes and drilling through a railroad tie-sized fencepost, aligning the sign with the solid steel poles that will support it, and making sure that it all remained level. While mulling it over, Blackman said he’d changed his mind several times on how best to hang the sign.

But with the help of a half-dozen local veterans, everything fell into place and the sign was up in less than 30 minutes.

Blacksmithing is just one of Blackman’s hobbies, so for him, making the sign was a fun project for a worthy cause.

“It’s just a good feeling of creating a space for veterans who have problems, whether it’s physical or emotional,”

their own to take home. It’s usually a bottle opener, a coat hook, perhaps a tool, or even a bracelet, Blackman says.

Way back when, Blackman earned a bachelors degree in bronze casting sculpting from Portland State University. Regarding the scholastic achievement, Blackman says, “I discovered that’s a terrible way to raise a family.”

On top of a 35-year welding career, he branched out to forging and woodcarving. The latter being what he considers his main inspiration.

“Woodcarving is my first love,” he says. “It’s a tactile event of pushing a sharp tool through wood. When I start carving wood, I can lose track of three hours and not know what even happened. I just get zoned into it. About the third time I make something, I get bored with it and make something else.”

Items Blackman has made include a titanium monkey dangling on his key chain, a 10-foot-tall bronze fountain and a steel wedding arch under which his daughter was married. Additional creations include custom bathroom

sinks, end tables and other furniture pieces. He also made the ornamental steel doors at the front gate leading into the fenced-in garden at COCC— giant panels measuring 9 feet wide and 8 feet tall. This was another of Blackman’s adaptations, this time from a student drawing, and it, too, was cut by CR Fabrication.

“I got into forging to make woodcarving tools,” Blackman says. Forging is the process of heating metal until it is red-hot and then banging on it with a hammer to change its shape and function. “I’m just fascinated watching a volume of metal change to a totally different shape,” he says.

Modern welding came about around 1880, but the practice of smithing goes back thousands of years, Blackman says. “Greeks and their gods did smithing,” he adds. “The history really fascinates me.”

When asked how many hours he spends on any particular project, he responds, “I specifically avoid tracking time. I’m retired.” SW

A Bazaar Era for Redmond Bookstore Second Shop Features Books and Art Things appeared momentarily bleak for Redmond’s Friends Bookshop.

The city’s planned library remodel could have spelled the end for the cherished 1,000-square-foot used bookstore, located inside. First, construction meant the store would have had to temporarily shut down. Next, a drastically smaller space awaited upon the library’s eventual reopening.

That meant the Friends of Redmond Oregon (FORO), which runs the space, needed to come up with another option. So, they opened a second store before discovering that library construction would be postponed

— possibly until late next year. reBOOKS, as the new store’s known, found a home inside Redmond’s Bazaar. It features an important new addition: Art. Works offered include photographic prints on both paper and canvas, as well as cards and other crafts — all neatly arranged, gallery style, on a wall and table adjacent to the books.

The new shop features work by FORO’s Art Committee members.

“We want to expand art in the city of Redmond,” says FORO President Roz Gamer. “We’re looking to encourage reading, art and cultural literacy in the community.”

Gamer says both stores are nonprofits, with the library shop giving back to the library, while reBOOKS supports Redmond itself. The gallery

fits nicely into the Bazaar, tucked into a corner of the larger store, which sells items including clothes, incense, jewelry, pillows and sporting goods.

FORO also supports the community by donating books to other charitable organizations, such as the Opportunity Foundation, the Food Bank and St. Vincent de Paul. SW

BITES Bend’s Best Kept Secret ByLITTLE Lisa Sipe Turns 70 Everyone knows your name at the M&J Tavern Saying

By Lisa Sipe

To Family Businesses Mazza Bistro Victim of Bend’s Rental Crisis

If you visit the M&J Tavern, chances are you’ll run into Mike Martin, top left, and Manager CJ Hitchcock.

M&J regulars have a sense of humor and take pride in their favorite bar. One customer, Dave, has claimed “his” seat at the bar, bottom left. And the M&J still has what may be the only vintage cigarette machine in Central Oregon.

why the M&J Tavern was able to reach its 70th birthday.

The M&J Tavern has seen a lot of changes over the years. In 2007 it started selling liquor and in 2009 Oregon banned workplace smoking.

Many of the regulars remember when there was a two-way mirror so you could see into the adjacent Laundromat (also owned by the Whittemores).

There were many times people doing their laundry had no idea they were being watched. Bar guests would giggle as they caught someone picking their nose.

CJ Hitchcock, the current bar manager, told me the philosophy at the M&J is “If it isn’t broke, we don’t fix it.” They have a vintage phone booth, which regulars liked to use until it got too backed up with coins. They called the phone company to fix it but instead of fixing the phone, the company took it, saying it was a relic of another time. Today the phone booth sits in the corner as a reminder of the past, also serving as a water station.

You can also find a vintage cigarette machine, one of the few left—if not the only one—in Central Oregon.

One thing is for sure: the tavern is a

comfortable, welcoming space. Everyone who comes in is greeted warmly, most by their first name. CJ said, “We try to offer a little bit of everything for everybody.” A few things you might not know about the M&J Tavern: it hosts a great open mic night where many local bands got their start. It has over 220 bottles of tequila, the largest selection in Central Oregon. It doesn’t have a blender, so margaritas are on the rocks. You can order the kind of bar food that sticks to your ribs, or have a pizza from Old Towne delivered to the bar.

M&J Tavern has been called Bend’s best-kept secret. If you haven’t discovered it yet, there will be a seat at the bar when you’re ready. SW

M&J Tavern 70th Anniversary Celebration

Saturday April 15th at 11am until Sunday April 16th at 1:30am 102 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend

Just as they turned five years old, Mazza Bistro announced on Facebook, “Dear customers, this is to inform you that this coming Thursday, March 30th, will be Mazza’s last day in business due to loss of lease.” Mazza Bistro was a family-owned authentic Middle Eastern restaurant that served fresh, affordable food downtown.

Michel Shehadeh, executive chef and owner, was always behind the counter making sure every meal was perfect.

Facebook erupted in sadness after the announcement. Loyal diners are hoping they reopen in a new location, but with limited, affordable options in Bend, they might have to wait a while.

Bend’s Organic Food Pioneers Retire After 40 Years Bob and Mary Devore brought organic produce and healthy food to Bend in 1977 when they opened Devore’s Good Food Store. After 40 years of delicious food and good vibes, the business is for sale. Emily Berger, an employee, is sad to see things change. She said, “Places like Devore’s are one of a kind in this day and age, and small mom and pop establishments are slowly fading into the past as Bend welcomes larger chains and bigger businesses. Sure, there are modernized attempts to recreate that ‘small town’ feel, but nothing is quite so authentic as the real thing. Bob and Mary ARE the real thing. They set up a store that has its own part in making our world a better place. They are loved and cherished by the community and their hard work has left a beautiful mark in history.” SW

he M&J Tavern has stood on the corner of Greenwood and Hill collecting colorful stories for the past 70 years. The tavern, which has changed hands six times, opened in 1947, just after World War II, when Bend’s population was barely 11,000.

They only served beer and wine back then and their patrons were primarily railroaders and loggers. Occasionally the soldiers staying in Sunriver would venture into town to visit the red light district hidden behind the buildings on Greenwood, and then head into the M&J for a 10-cent glass of beer. The bar was named after the first owners, Margaret and Jack Christiansen, who sold the business to Mel and Esther Viele after only a year. The Vieles kept it for two years and then sold it to Freddie Vance. Freddie was sick during his ownership and asked his regular bartender and friend, Glen Ennen, to manage it for him. When Freddie passed away in 1949, Glen and his wife, Gladys Ennen Neth, purchased the tavern from Freddie’s heirs.

The Ennens owned the tavern for almost 20 years. In an interview from 1978, Gladys said they, “kept it strictly a family tavern. It was the kind of place a man could bring his wife, and a woman could come alone.” She explained, “If a stranger went up to a woman we’d ask her if she wanted to be bothered. If not, he’d have to leave her or out he went.”

While the Ennens brought a friendly family atmosphere, they also experienced the most tragic history of the space. Glen Ennen was shot and killed by an armed robber in 1969. The next year Gladys Ennen sold the tavern to Jack and Nancy McDermott.

The McDermotts knew the tavern’s regulars liked things to stay the same, but in the 70s they made a big change, switching the bar top to its current cream speckled melamine. Today the melamine edges have smoothed over the years, from patrons leaning their forearms across the bar to imbibe. In 1983 the McDermotts sold the bar to Rick and Pam Whittemore. Rick said he purchased it because he had been doing residential design and found himself out of work. He said, “I need a job. I figured the bar was always there.

It was either that or cut hair, I guess.

It always seemed like the bars always did well no matter what the economy was, so I thought that was the best option.”

Rick was able to buy the building in the early 90s, so he hasn’t had to worry about commercial rents increasing—likely a very real reason

t’s a typical Saturday afternoon at Crux Fermentation Project: families and dogs outside, diners and beer nerds inside, and what seem to be half a dozen taster trays underneath the taps, waiting to be filled. “They tend to come and go in waves,” the bartender comments. “It’s sort of the same deal as Bloody Marys. Someone orders one, and then everyone sees the tray out on the bar and start figuring they’ll have one too.”

The problem is that four ounces of beer in a tiny cup usually isn’t the way the brewer meant it to be served.

It’s just a passing glimpse of the beer compared to the full 12-ounce view.

Beer flights are an ingrained part of the craft brewery experience. They have advantages for both sides of the transaction; the brewer can run through kegs more evenly and the customer can try a wide variety all at once without becoming too tipsy. The vertical flights of Abyss and Black Butte available at Deschutes’ brewpub are regular highlights in Bend’s food-anddrink calendar, and many are the foolhardy souls who ordered a flight of all 12 or so beers available at Bend Brewing Company and didn’t quite make it to the end. (Flights at the BBC these days have a much more reasonable six varieties.)

The question, though, is this: Are flights really the best way to gauge the quality of a brewery? Many beer enthusiasts (including, admittedly, this beer writer) tend to take a Pokémonstyle approach to their hobby—gotta try ‘em all, and then check ‘em in on Untappd. Flights are a convenient way

to scratch that itch, certainly.

The problem is that four ounces of beer in a tiny cup usually isn’t the way the brewer meant it to be served. It’s just a passing glimpse of the beer compared to the full 12-ounce view. Beer often has trouble retaining a decent head in a sample glass, and there’s not much chance to take in the brew’s aroma from a small glass, either. Finally, many varieties of beer open up new flavors and sensations over time as they warm up in the glass (part of the reason most beer isn’t meant to be served ice-cold in frosted mugs), something that just can’t happen in a couple of ounces.

Flights have their place, thanks to their fun convenience, and ordering a flight of, let’s say, nothing but IPAs is a great way to train less-experienced beer palates. But they also fundamentally alter the experience of visiting a brewery. Instead of sitting back, relaxing with a pint and chatting with friends, you’re studying the glasses, focused more on the beer than your surroundings. That’s partly why some taprooms, including Hair of the Dog and Cascade in Portland, have done away with the flight paddle entirely, instead selling individual small pours for $2 or so and encouraging patrons to enjoy each beer as a single experience.

With that, try to resist the urge to reach for a tray next time. Crux, for example, currently has four great barrel-aged beers on tap, including the 9.9% In the Pocket saison. Are these best tackled in little pours all at once, or would going all-in on a single one and savoring it for the next half-hour make for a more enjoyable visit to the brewery? The latter might be true more often than many people think. SW

We’re a quarter of the way through the year so far, and in the realm of cinema (and politics), it hasn’t been the best. There have been a few stone cold classics including “Get Out” and “Personal Shopper,” and some disappointments such as “The Space Between Us” and “War on Everyone,” but we also have plenty of time to make 2017 a banner year for films. Here’s a brief look at a few of the exciting releases headed our way over this lovely spring.

Free Fire (4/21)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (5/5)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (5/26)

Set in Boston during the late 1970s, “Free Fire” is just an excuse for brilliant director Ben (“A Field in England”) Wheatley to stage a 90-minute gun fight. That’s it. It’s great actors such as Brie Larson, Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Cillian Murphy and Noah Taylor shooting at each other in a warehouse with jokes flying like bullets. This will be a blast.

I’m gonna see this. You’re gonna see this. That’s all there is to it...especially because the plot of the film is being kept under such tight wraps. Does the plot really matter, though? The first one was so much fun, and Marvel hasn’t really had a dud yet, so they’ve earned our trust at this point. Plus, Kurt Russell is playing Ego, the Living Planet. Just sayin.

The Circle (4/28)

Alien: Covenant (5/19)

Wonder Woman (6/2)

Emma Watson takes on Tom Hanks (who is basically playing an ominous Steve Jobs) in this thriller based on the novel by Dave Eggers. Watson gets a job at a tech company called The Circle and discovers a nefarious and invasive agenda led by Hanks’ disturbingly friendly tech billionaire. If this is half as good as the book, then expect to be wowed.

Even though “Prometheus” was a pretty big disappointment, “Covenant” looks like it’s much more interested in being a straightforward horror movie along the lines of the original “Alien.” Plus, James Franco is in this, and who doesn’t want to see him get disintegrated by xenomorphic alien blood? It’s hard not to be excited for this one.

DC hasn’t had much luck with super hero movies since “The Dark Knight,” but this might be their best chance to make an impression. No one is in love with Affleck’s Batman or Cavill’s Superman, so “Wonder Woman” really needs to stick the landing before the much hyped “Justice League” movie is released in November. Cautious optimism is the way to go. Plus, America could use a badass female super hero right now.

I’m one of the few people who loved the second and third “Pirates” movies (the less said about the fourth one, the better), so I’ve been looking forward to another film set in this world. The directors made the wonderful adventure, “Kon-Tiki,” a few years back and Javier Bardem is the villain, so hopefully, this one is an improvement.

Johnny Depp hasn’t made a good movie in a few years, so he’s due.

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.

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DONALD CRIED: When Peter is forced to re-

turn to his home town and bury his grandmother, he accidentally reconnects with his former childhood friend Donald. Normally that would be OK, but Donald is basically stuck in a state of arrested development and is no more grown up than he was when they were children. Hijinks ensue. Tin Pan Theater

GHOST IN THE SHELL: Scarlett Johansson

stars as a robot soldier lady who doesn’t really want to be a robot anymore. The film has come under fire for whitewashing what should have been a leading role for an Asian woman, but luckily the film has flopped and we can forget all of this even happened. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. Redmond Cinema

GOING IN STYLE: A comedy/heist movie star-

ring Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin sounds like a great time at the movies, that’s no mystery. What is a mystery, however, is why Zach Braff from “Scrubs” is directing this? The real question is whether he will bring his trademark quirkiness to the project. See full review on p35.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters’ Movie House

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. 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

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 SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE: Kids are

probably very excited to see this next installment in the “Smurfs” franchise, but this looks pretty terrible. A bunch of poop jokes surround a story about a lost tribe of Smurfs. Parents will probably have to suffer through this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, 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 CASE FOR CHRIST: Based on a true story, “The Case for Christ” tells a story of an award winning journalist who attempts to disprove the Christian faith of his wife. Without having seen the movie, we can only assume he ends up finding Jesus. Behind the sofa. Or maybe at the pawn shop. Somewhere unexpected anyway. 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

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.

Shell Games The Ghost of an Idea

By Jared Rasic

Scarlett Johansson does her best impression of a cartoon character in “Ghost in the Shell.”

T

he title “Ghost in the Shell” is an ironic one. It’s explained to Major (Scarlett Johansson) early on that the “Ghost” is her soul and that even though she is primarily made up of cybernetic pieces, she is still mostly a real girl because of the humanity she possesses underneath all the metal and futuristic construction.

Yet, “Ghost in the Shell” as a film or even as an adaptation of the well-regarded and much-loved Japanese Manga (and eventual anime) is completely soulless. There is no ghost in the machine here; just pretty images that seem innovative at first until the realization that Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” and the work of Katsuhiro Otomo (“Akira” and “Neo Tokyo”) did it decades ago and infinitely better. Even “The Matrix” still stands as something more-game changing than this derivative snooze fest.

There’s a pretty funny Hollywood story about the producer Jon Peters, the man behind 1989’s “Batman” and dozens of other classic movies. Peters was set to produce a new “Superman” movie in the early 1990s, with Kevin Smith set to write and direct. Peters had problems with the script and had three big changes he wanted to make.

The first was that he wanted to avoid all of Superman’s iconic characteristics, so he envisioned him not flying or wearing his costume in the film.

Secondly, he thought Sean Penn would be perfect for the role because he had the eyes of a “caged animal,” somehow thinking Superman should be violent and intimidating.

Most importantly, he wanted Superman to fight a giant mechanical spider during the climax of the movie. That was Peters’ deal breaker. Kevin Smith thought it was a terrible idea (he also

really wanted Nicolas Cage to play the Man of Steel), so the movie was scrapped and fell apart. Peters continued to try to get a mechanical spider battle into his movies year after year until he finally succeeded in the terrible steampunk western “Wild Wild West” in 1999. Will Smith and Kevin Kline took on the spider and no one was impressed.

I bring up this story because after the repetitive story starts coming to its climax, after the audience has suffered a Scarlett Johansson performance devoid of anything resembling life (and after finally understanding why hack director Rupert Sanders whitewashed his lead actors with white folk), we get our big action finale: ScarJo fighting—I shit you not—something called a “Spider-Tank.” It’s exactly what it sounds like and renders what is already a laughably stupid movie into something bordering on self-parody.

“Ghost in the Shell” is that Spider-Tank: Something that sounds cool for a second but in practice is insultingly stupid to everyone who sees it.

This film comes fully formed from the belly of the Hollywood machine, but without a Ghost to give it meaning and purpose. Instead, it’s just another soulless creation: a Russian nesting doll with nothing inside it; promising a mystery but offering nothing. SW

An unexpected encounter

By Jim Anderson and darkness and darkness and dawn), and they are birds equipped with long wings, short, weak legs, very short bills and a BIG mouth.

In some areas they’re called goatsuckers, due to ancient folk tales that claimed they sucked milk from goats.

Goatsuckers of the New World (our

western species) are called nighthawks, others poorwills, and they nest on the ground.

CAUTION! In this neck of the woods you have to be careful when driving little-used roads at night, as both poorwills and nighthawks stop to rest in the middle of the roads. Both

give off a very distinct eye-shine at night, most time manifested by just two tiny red spots in the darkness. If you see that at night in the road, get your foot on the brake; it will probably be a goatsucker.

In my opinion, a female nightjar lays her pebble-like eggs in places where they resemble their environment.

She doesn’t even build a “nest.” Even a baby nightjar looks like a pebble— until it opens its eyes, which look like sparkling red or black jewels.

While employed with Sunriver back in the 70s, I was charged with the responsibility of helping employees and residents better understand the nature of Sunriver. I also had the task of making changes in the locations of roads and parking areas because of a conflict with the master plans designed by Bob Ryston. One day I found a common nighthawk nesting in an area designated to be a parking area and called it to the attention of Len, the construction superintendent.

Seeing the bird had just laid its eggs, we discussed the timing, but Len didn’t believe me, as he couldn’t see the bird or the eggs. I asked him to follow me as we slowly walked toward it. As it is with most ground-nesters, they wait until the last moment, then fall all over themselves doing the broken wing act to get your attention to move you away from their eggs.

The nighthawk did just that, but not before opening its brilliant black eye to stare at Len and me. “What the…” he snorted when he saw the jewel-like eye, and then actually gasped as continued on page 39...

he last thing the people at Lowe’s in Bend expected to see last week was a lone common poorwill (a bird very closely related to a nighthawk) standing in the middle of the garden center. You have to admit, that bundle of feathers with red eyes just doesn’t fit into a bird category—unless someone knows a little more about birds than “robins eat worms.”

A Lowe’s employee picked it up, thinking it was a baby owl, but a customer happened to see the bird and knew it for what it is: a common poorwill. She knew if it was being carried around without putting up a struggle something was wrong with it. She also knew who to call for help: Elise Wolf of Native Bird Care in Sisters.

Currently, the poorwill is undergoing an intense bathing regime in an effort to remove some kind of gunk the bird got into while exploring the garden department. The usual method for removing oils is Dawn, a wellknown detergent, used by rehabbers the world over. But the stuff on the Lowe’s bird is persistent and sticky, so Elise has to work harder in an attempt to remove it.

The bird is also devouring hundreds of mealworms and crickets daily. If you think rehabbing native birds isn’t costly, you have another thing coming.

Poorwills are nocturnal and a member of the nightjar family. The term “nightjar” probably makes very little sense to those who know little about birds. Poorwills are medium-sized nocturnal or crepuscular (the latter a time of sparse light between sunset

and metabolic rate, very similar to hibernation. While hummingbirds can go into torpor for up to 12 hours, common poorwills can do it all through the winter as in hibernation.

Which opens the door to the possibility that the poorwill now in Elise’s care may have flown into Lowe’s late last summer and has been there hibernating through winter. Or perhaps a better scenario: it was passing through the night before and thought Lowe’s looked like a good motel for a day’s rest.

Elise plans to release Sticky as soon as the night-moving moths and insects are abundant, and since poorwills fly very close to the ground and often rest at night in the middle of the road… well, you know. SW

the bird left the nest to go into its broken wing act. It was then we saw the eggs, and Len changed his mind. He went back to his crew and told them all about the bird, and even came back later to carefully take a photo of the tiny young running around where there would never be a parking lot. To my knowledge they’re still nesting at that location today.

Nightjars have small feet, of little use for walking. To perch on a limb they must do so lengthways—which also makes them look like a stick, and their soft plumage is cryptically colored to resemble bark, leaves and sand and gravel.

Now, here comes the real mystery about nightjars, especially poorwills: they (and hummingbirds) are the only birds known to go into a torpor, defined as a state of decreased physiological activity in an animal, usually caused by reduced body temperature

Building permits issued increased from 69 in March 2016 to 91 in March 2017, and inventory levels continue to remain tight at about 1.5 months. Most industry analysts feel that a four to six month inventory level is needed for a balanced market that favors neither buyers nor sellers. Most of these analysts are also saying that new construction is not keeping up with housing demand.

he Beacon Report, which is based on real estate statistics from our local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) released its reports of the March 2017 figures, which allows some interesting comparisons to last year’s Bend single family residence sales of 1 acre or less.

According to the report, closed sales in Bend for the month of March 2017 increased by 38 transactions over February 2017. Not only were more homes sold, but they were sold at a higher price as reflected in the median price increase of about 14 percent from the prior year from $347,000 in March 2016 to $396,000 in March 2017. The median price per square foot decreased from $205 in February 2017 to $198 for March 2017, but up from $179 in March 2016.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Greed Between The Lines

I love my boyfriend: however, I feel bad that he never buys me presents. He did when we were dating, and he buys himself extravagant stuff. But he got me nothing for my birthday and only some trinkets for Christmas because I made a stink. When I’ve brought up the gifts issue, he’s implied that I’m materialistic.

However, what matters to me is not the cost but that he’s thinking of me. Is my desire for gifts somehow shallow?

Once again, it’s Christmas. Ooh, ooh, what’s that under the tree?! Once again…it’s the floor.

Many men sneer at the importance their ladies place on getting gifts from them, deeming it a sign of female emotional frailty.

What these men aren’t taking into account is that the differences that evolved in male and female psychology correspond to differences in male and female physiology. To put this another way, women — disproportionately — are into getting gifts from romantic partners for the same reason men (disproportionately) are into watching strippers. (“All the better to pass one’s genes on with, my dear!”)

Because, for a woman, sex can lead to pregnancy (and a hungry kid to drag around), female emotions evolved to act as a sort of alarm system, making a woman feel crappy when there are signs a man’s commitment may be waning. (Wanting to feel better makes her take corrective action — pressing him to put up or get out.) However, a man’s being willing to give gifts suggests a willingness to “invest” (beyond 2.6 minutes of foreplay and a teaspoon of sperm).

Accordingly, evolutionary behavioral scientist Gad Saad believes that gift-giving evolved as a “distinctly male courtship strategy.”

Though women do give gifts to romantic partners, they tend to wait till they’re in a relationship and then do it to “celebrate” being together. Saad’s research finds that men, on the other hand, “are much more likely to be tactical in their reasons for offering a gift to a romantic partner” — like, in the courtship phase, to get a woman into bed. (Of course, if a woman wants to get a man into bed, she doesn’t need to give him a present to unwrap; she just starts unbuttoning her top.)

Explain the science to your boyfriend.

You don’t have a character deficiency; you

just want him to show his love in the way that works for you. That’s what people who love each other do — even if they, say, believe the gift of their side salad at dinner should be gift enough. Besides, you aren’t demanding, “‘Tiara of the Week!’ or I’m gone!” You’d just like occasional little “thinking of you” prezzies and somewhat bigger ones on Official Girlfriend Holidays (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). Ultimately, these are not just gifts but messages that making you happy is worth an investment of money and effort — beyond what he’s been putting in to run out and get his wallet wired shut just in time for your birthday.

Wussy Galore My fiancee and I were driving my drunk friend home from a party. He was saying rude things to her, but I knew he was just wasted and didn’t mean them, so I didn’t say anything. I thought my fiancee would also shrug it off, but she was mad and hurt that I didn’t stand up for her. Is it that big a deal? Couldn’t she have stood up for herself?

—Middleman Yes, there’s actually more to being an ideal partner to a woman than being able to unhook a bra with your teeth.

A woman today may be perfectly capable of defending herself — with her big mouth or her big pink handgun. However, she has an emotional operating system pushing her to go for men who show an ability and a willingness to protect her. This comes out of how, over millions of years of evolution, certain ladies’ children were more likely to survive and pass on their mother’s genes (and the psychology that rides along). Which children?

Those whose mothers chose men who’d do more in an attack than, well, effectively crawl under the car seat and wish all the awfulness would stop.

Your fiancee probaAmy Alkon bly still feels resentful and maybe even thinks less of you for how you basically showed all the testosterone-driven fortitude of a geranium. Consider what grandpas everywhere call “having character”: doing the right thing — even when that kinda blows for you. If, in looking back, you would’ve done things differently, tell your fiancee. Then pledge that going forward, you’ll be that kind of guy — and protecting the person who means most to you won’t involve pushing your girlfriend toward the grizzly bear so you’ll have more time to make a run for it.

ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before visiting Sic-

TAURUS (April 20May 20): It’s closing time. You have finished toiling in the shadow of an old sacred cow.

You’ve climaxed your relationship with ill-fitting ideas that you borrowed from mediocre and inappropriate teachers once upon a time. And you can finally give up your quest for a supposed Holy Grail that never actually existed in the first place.

It’s time to move on to the next chapter of your life story, Taurus! You have been authorized to graduate from any influence, attachment, and attraction that wouldn’t serve your greater good in the future.

Does this mean you’ll soon be ready to embrace more freedom than you have in years? I’m betting on it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The heaviest butterfly on the planet is the female Queen Victorian Birdwing. It tips the scales at two grams. The female Queen Alexandra Birdwing is the butterfly with the longest wingspan: over 12 inches. These two creatures remind me of you these days. Like them, you’re freakishly beautiful. You’re a marvelous and somewhat vertiginous spectacle. The tasks you’re working on are graceful and elegant, yet also big and weighty. Because of your intensity, you may not look flight-worthy, but you’re actually quite aerodynamic. In fact, your sorties are dazzling and influential. Though your acrobatic zigzags seem improbable, they’re effective.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Picasso had mixed feelings about his fellow painter Marc Chagall, who was born under the sign of Cancer. “I’m not crazy about his roosters and donkeys and flying violinists, and all the folklore,” Picasso said, referring to the subject matter of Chagall’s compositions. But he also felt that Chagall was one of the only painters “who understands what color really is,” adding, “There’s never been anybody since Renoir who has the feeling for light that Chagall has.” I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will be the recipient of mixed messages like these. Praise and disapproval may come your way. Recognition and neglect. Kudos and apathy. Please don’t dwell on the criticism and downplay the applause. In fact, do the reverse!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is the title of an old gospel song, and now it’s the metaphorical theme of your horoscope. I advise you to climb a tall peak — even if it’s just a magic mountain in your imagination — and deliver the spicy monologue that has been marinating within you. It would be great if you could gather a sympathetic audience for your revelations, but that’s not mandatory to achieve the necessary catharsis. You simply need to be gazing at the big picture as you declare your big, ripe truths.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you were a snake, it would be a fine time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it would be a perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood. If you were an office worker, it would be an excellent phase to trade in your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new niche.

In other words, Virgo, you’re primed to outgrow at least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew you would have to transgress some day are finally ready to be transgressed. Even now, your attention span is expanding and your imagination is stretching.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For over a century, the Ringsaker Lutheran Church in Buxton, North Dakota hosted rites of passage, including 362 baptisms,

50 marriages, and 97 funerals. It closed in 2002, a victim of the area’s shrinking population. I invite you to consider the possibility that this can serve as a useful metaphor for you, Libra. Is there a place that has been a sanctuary for you, but has begun to lose its magic? Is there a traditional power spot from which the power has been ebbing? Has a holy refuge evolved into a mundane hang-out? If so, mourn for a while, then go in search of a vibrant replacement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Most people throw away lemon rinds, walnut shells, and pomegranate skins.

But some resourceful types find uses for these apparent wastes. Lemon rind can serve as a deodorizer, cleaner, and skin tonic, as well as a zesty ingredient in recipes. Ground-up walnut shells work well in facial scrubs and pet bedding.

When made into a powder, pomegranate peels have a variety of applications for skin care.

I suggest you look for metaphorically similar things, Scorpio. You’re typically inclined to dismiss the surfaces and discard the packaging and ignore the outer layers, but I urge you to consider the possibility that right now they may have value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re growing too fast, but that’s fine as long as you don’t make people around you feel they’re moving too slowly.

You know too much, but that won’t be a problem as long as you don’t act snooty. And you’re almost too attractive for your own good, but that won’t hurt you as long as you overflow with spontaneous generosity. What I’m trying to convey, Sagittarius, is that your excesses are likely to be more beautiful than chaotic, more fertile than confusing. And that should provide you with plenty of slack when dealing with cautious folks who are a bit rattled by your lust for life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Until recently, scientists believed the number of trees on the planet was about 400 billion. But research published in the journal *Nature* says that’s wrong. There are actually three trillion trees on earth — almost eight times more than was previously thought. In a similar way, I suspect you have also underestimated certain resources that are personally available to you, Capricorn. Now is a good time to correct your undervaluation. Summon the audacity to recognize the potential abundance you have at your disposal.

Then make plans to tap into it with a greater sense of purpose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The poet John Keats identified a quality he called “negative capability.” He defined it as the power to calmly accept “uncertainties, mysteries, and doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” I would extend the meaning to include three other things not to be irritably reached for: artificial clarity, premature resolution, and simplistic answers. Now is an excellent time to learn more about this fine art, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you ready for a riddle that’s more enjoyable than the kind you’re used to? I’m not sure if you are. You may be too jaded to embrace this unusual gift. You could assume it’s another one of the crazy-making cosmic jokes that have sometimes tormented you in the past.

But I hope that doesn’t happen. I hope you’ll welcome the riddle in the liberating spirit in which it’s offered. If you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised as it teases you in ways you didn’t know you wanted to be teased. You’ll feel a delightful itch or a soothing burn in your secret self, like a funny-bone feeling that titillates your immortal soul. P.S.: To take full advantage of the blessed riddle, you may have to expand your understanding of what’s good for you.

ily for the first time, American poet Billy Collins learned to speak Italian. In his poem “By a Swimming Pool Outside Siracusa,” he describes how the new language is changing his perspective. If he were thinking in English, he might say that the gin he’s drinking while sitting alone in the evening light “has softened my mood.” But the newly Italianized part of his mind would prefer to say that the gin “has allowed my thoughts to traverse my brain with greater gentleness” and “has extended permission to my mind to feel a friendship with the vast sky.” Your assignment in the coming week, Aries, is to Italianize your view of the world. Infuse your thoughts with expansive lyricism and voluptuous relaxation. If you’re Italian, celebrate and amplify your Italianness.

Green and White all over

We need a spine transplant, stat!

Maryland has had a rocky start getting its medical cannabis program up and running. Although approved in 2013, the program stalled after requiring that the only growers allowed to grow and distribute cannabis be academic centers. After no one stepped up into that role, last year the legislature named 15 finalists to grow, and 15 to process cannabis. Every candidate selected was white, which, you know, happens quite a bit in the industry—and no, it’s not cool.

So Rep. Cheryl Glenn, Chair of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, stepped up to sponsor a House bill that added five more grower and processor licenses each. Rep. Glenn pointed out that the state’s cannabis law indicates that racial diversity should be considered.

“Passing this bill will show the country that this is not an issue that we’re going to lock African Americans and other minorities from participating in this business venture,” Glenn said before the House vote. “Less than 1 percent of the licenses held in the entire country are held by African Americans and other minorities.”

John Hopkins University withdrew from an upcoming federally sanctioned study on cannabis and PTSD after its study partner called bullshit on the cannabis to be used. The study is important, as it had something rare: the blessing of the DEA. The withdrawal came about after the study’s administrator, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychiatric Studies, or MAPS, challenged federal rules stating that cannabis used in studies must all come from the black hole of decent cannabis: the University of Mississippi.

(I’ve written about just how bad the pot grown there is, and how it is not at all representative of the quality and variety of cannabis available through other channels.) The study will move forward at a private lab in Arizona, along with researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado.

Governor Super Friends Assemble!

The Governors from Oregon, Colorado, Alaska and Washington sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin April 3, asking that they “engage with us before embarking on any changes to regulatory and enforcement systems.” The letter went on to point out that “overhauling the Cole Memorandum is sure to produce unintended and harmful consequences and that “changes that hurt the regulated market would divert existing marijuana product into the black market and increase dangerous activity in both our states and our neighboring states.” They concluded by reminding Sessions and Mnuchin that “28 states, representing more than 60 percent of Americans, have authorized some form of marijuana-related conduct.” Earlier in the year, 11 U.S. Senators from eight states that have medical or adult use cannabis programs sent a letter to Sessions asking for virtually the same thing.

No word yet if Sessions read the letter, or, if in fact, can even read.

Your Pre Roll may be on Jenny Craig Just how fat is your fattie? A new study reveals your doobie may have been hitting a spin class while you weren’t looking. A new study published by the journal “Drug and Alcohol Dependence,” utilized rigorous statistical analysis to determine the weight of the average American’s joint. And it’s certainly less than most people claim or believe to be present: .32 grams, or just under 1/3 of a gram. This means that an ounce of cannabis, aka 28 grams, would allow for the owner to produce 84 joints. (84 very thin joints, or known by their street term “pinners”.) This falls short of what the average smoker believes to be the size of their joints. High Times did a survey of nearly 3,000 readers who responded that they believed the average joint weighed in at .75 grams, with three in 10 respondents believing their joints were 1 gram or more. So check the weight of your pre roll, because a $5 joint weighing .32 grams makes that $15+ per gram. And at $15 a gram, those better be damn strong.
