~Bengal Turner

IN RESPONSE TO “CROSSROADS IN THE OCHOCO NATIONAL FOREST” (4/7) Thank you for doing such a well-balanced article about some of the issues in the Ochoco National Forest. I am not in favor of the proposed OHV trail system, nor am I in favor of making such a large area in the forest a National Recreation Area or National Park. People don’t seem to realize that recreation and conservation can work hand in hand together. The OHV people have plenty of roads to use now with maybe a few connecting trails to make the area easier to use. I was surprised to learn that jeeps are considered OHVs. They are street legal, where dirt bikes and ATVs are not.

On the other hand, though, tying up so much ground in some kind of wilderness and or park is also very limiting to who can use it, and sometimes damaging to the area. People seem to have forgotten the phrase “multiple use” as it has always applied to the national forest. I guess many Oregon residents either weren’t born yet or have moved here since there used to be signs on every road entering the forest that said “multiple use,” and had pictures of cattle and sheep, timber, recreation and mining. Managed properly, these things can all work together and help sustain the public land in a healthy fashion.

No, I’m not talking about clear cuts nor open pit mines, but well-managed forests and perhaps small mines for semi-precious stones and such. Ranchers, timber men, miners and Forest Service employees working together on a regular basis can be the eyes and ears to spot fires and accidents, and help control environmental damage and invasive species. Wilderness and recreation area designations may restrict the Forest Service from controlling invasive weeds and other wild fire fuels along with fighting fire with all their tools.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 16 / April 21, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

There has been interest lately in preserving vs. removing large, old trees in Bend. My neighbors recently had two very large Ponderosa pines removed, because they were “messy.”

They might well have been 200-years-old or more. The New York Times review of the new book, “Lab Girl” by Hope Jahren, included the following passage: Trees “are a miracle 300 million years in the making. That they are still around is testimony to their ingenious powers of survival. Or perhaps to our inability - yet to destroy every last one, though not for lack of trying: We are on track to rid the planet of trees within 600 years. So plant one tree this year...” And think twice before killing our elder botanical citizens.

Please let’s keep “multiple use” in mind, and bring everybody to the planning table including, but not exclusive to the recreating public. ~Ann Snyder

IN RESPONSE TO “A VOICE FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY” (3/31) I appreciate your featuring the water lawsuit affecting Central Oregon, unfortunately, I was saddened that you would make an attempt to create a wedge between farmers no matter what their average value of Ag products are and not be a voice for all of the Central Oregon agriculture community.

There are farmers in Jefferson County and Crook County who are also COID patrons.

My parents are one of those patrons, they have hay ground in Powell Butte. You mention flood irrigation being used. That is true of smaller acreages and often that is the only option they have because of the size or shape of the field, location of their land isn’t close to a larger irrigation canal or electricity isn’t available for them to use for pivots, hand line or wheel lines. In addition, those who flood irrigate are given certain days that they are allowed to use the water, and it isn’t near as often, so the flooding allows the ground to get a deeper saturation to go longer periods of time between watering. The large farms are using pivots, hand line or wheel line, which are more efficient for irrigating land.

The Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan has been made up of conservation groups (including Waterwatch), all eight irrigation districts, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Warms Springs Tribes and several other local, state & federal agencies. Yes, this has been ongoing for several years but with an area this size and that many entities working together it takes time. They have already made a lot of progress including increasing in-stream flows of rivers and creeks by nearly 80,000 acre-feet, improved fisheries passage into historical habitat, and working to establish ecologically important wetlands. As for COID specifically, they are in the process of completing their System Improvement Plan, which will guide their future water conservation projects and this year they are beginning the process of removing the Cline Falls Dam, [built] over 100 years ago. Removal of the dam will allow trout and other wildlife to migrate naturally through the former dam site for more river and riparian habitat along the Upper Deschutes. ~Jessica Hanna Central Oregon Chapter President Oregon Women for Agriculture

hen Earth Day began in 1970, the world was a different place.

Pollution was getting increasingly worse and even Portland had 50 percent more smog than the national recommendation. The rivers and roads had so much litter that cattle were choking on it. In Bend, the mill was running 24/7, Troy Field Laundry was leaking toxic chemicals into the soil below, houses were lacquered with lead paint and asbestos insulated public schools.

COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP OF LAND, INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP OF HOMES FACILITATING THE VISION OF AFFORDABLE, SUSTAINABLE HOUSING COMMUNITIES FOR BEND’S WORKFORCE

COMMUNITY CONCEPT INSPIRATION FROM CULLY GROVE, PORTLAND, OREGON. DEVELOPER: ZACH PARRISH AND ELI SPEVAK, CULLY GROVE LLC. IMAGE: MARK LAKEMAN, COMMUNITECTURE / WATERCOLOR BY JASON OFFUTT, THE SHELTER STUDIO, INC.

Forests, rivers and clean air make Oregon beautiful, and we’ve come a long way from the 1970s when clear-cutting, dirty rivers and toxic chemicals were omnipresent. Conservationists made significant progress, and we get to enjoy the benefits of many decades of work.

The bottle bill keeps 80 to 90 percent of recyclable beverage container garbage out of the waste stream in Oregon, Department of Environmental Quality strategies lowered fuel emissions, and national forests are now protected from clear-cutting (with some exceptions).

That’s not a bad start, but there’s still much work to be done. Today, U.S. conservationists are often disregarded as soon as the words “climate change” enter the conversation. Nonetheless, world leaders from 195 nations negotiated the first global climate change draft treaty at the United Nations Paris Climate Conference in December. On April 22, more than 120 countries are expected to sign it.

Soil, water and wildlife conservationists have a huge job to do, namely, saving the planet and the biodiversity that makes it all work. It can’t be done alone. Conservation is a noble goal, but it takes real people to make things happen. Consider that if it weren’t for conservationists, the U.S. would likely still be in the business of logging in national parks and forests (strictly reduced since the '70s).

In other states, it’s pretty common to see dumped trash, zero recycling, and not a hint of concern for industrial toxic air and water pollution. We care in Oregon. In fact, we care a lot because we have so much to lose. That’s why we want to protect the wilderness, river flows, and the wildlife habitat damaged and lost in the last 100 years. The air, atmosphere, earth, water, forests, wildlife and humans are all interconected. From wildlife surveys to wetland management, conservation is the tangible action we take right now for our natural ecosystem to survive and thrive.

On Earth Day this year, the U.S. and China, the two worst greenhouse gas polluters in the world, will sign the Paris Agreement with the goal to reduce global warming. This heralds a new era of acknowledgement of climate change and our country’s huge role in the problem.

It’s time to listen to the scientists and work alongside conservationists who have no greater goal than the good of the world as motivation. Conservation is more important than ever. SW

EARTH DAY 2016

E

arth Day is coming, Friday, April 22, and this day and the weekend that follows have become a global effort to make the world a better place.

Founded in the U.S. in 1970, Earth Day is now celebrated by 193 countries. It’s traditionally a day for education, awareness and volunteering to help with the environment in a way that makes a tangible difference. In Oregon, thousands of people will be doing outdoor projects with SOLVE to clean rivers, destroy invasive growth, plant trees and pick up litter.

Whether one is able to get into the forest, attend a lecture, or cheer participants in the Earth Day parade, there is a way for everyone to get involved.

Oregon has made great strides and has led the rest of the country in legislative measures to protect the environment in the 46 years since the first Earth Day. From the passage of the first bottle bill in the nation in 1971 to the passage of the 2016 clean energy bill that is the first in the U.S. to ban coal in the electricity supply, Oregon leads the way.

Conservation began with a generation of people who wanted to change the world, and they did. The air and rivers are cleaner, the national forests are protected and we are working together to create a society of good stewards to the environment, protecting wilderness and wildlife and developing clean energy.

However, there is still work to be done. Species are dying off, a continent of plastic trash floats in the Pacific Ocean, the planet is being deforested and Oregon forests are being reduced. Greenhouse gas emissions are leading to climate change, but people are turning away from science for more comfortable rhetoric. These are some of the top issues today. As a state, we are setting the bar higher than most for fuel emissions, clean energy and waste reduction, but competing interests are delaying implementation of science to improve the environment. Globally, the United States is second only to China among the world’s worse greenhouse gas emitters.

This year, on Earth Day 2016, the United States will sign the historic Paris Agreement of the Climate Protection Treaty adopted by 195 nations at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. The U.S. and China, the world's two largest emitters, will both sign the agreement along with more than 120 other countries. The binding and universal agreement on climate calls for action against climate change, specifically, reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero by the second half of the 21st Century. The agreement is a step in the right direction, but will need to be strengthened in the future.

Here at home in Central Oregon, free Earth Day events are open to everyone this weekend to come and learn about the environment and what can be done to protect and improve it. As the International Trade Union Confederation has said, “There are no jobs on a dead planet.” More than one billion people worldwide will be celebrating Earth Day this year. All hands on deck.

OREGON SPOTTED FROG Respecting the Endangered Species Act

By Brian Jennings

A

group that has worked to restore upper basin flows in the Deschutes River says short-term steps must be taken immediately to improve habitat for the endangered spotted frog. The Coalition for the Deschutes was formed in 1985 as a not-for-profit corporation to protect the economic, recreational and environmental future of the Deschutes River basin. It says that regulating water release volumes from Wickiup dam to avoid extreme high and low flows associated with irrigation needs in the spring and summer will help restore critical habitat for the frog.

On an exclusive viewing tour on a slough on the upper river near LaPine State Park, scientists pointed out spotted frog egg masses laid during recent warm weather in early April.

Dr. Jerry Freilich, a retired aquatics ecologist, is part of the group. Freilich spent 13 years as chief of research for the Olympic National Park in Washington and is considered a river flow regime expert. Much of his research centered on the Elwha River where a $325 million dam removal and restoration project, the nation’s largest thus far, has led to returning runs of salmon and steelhead.

“This slough is an unusual place because it’s a spot where slow water, or no flow at all, is what is needed so the babies can hatch in a safe environment,” says Freilich.

However, the slough is not perfect because of erratic water flows that fluctuate from reservoirs to farms with seasonal irrigation needs. “This is a population that has managed to hold on, but because these frogs are in such dire straits we really need to protect every one of these populations right

now, and this is one that needs protection,” he says.

good science could end up being detrimental for the frogs, she argues.

Gail Snyder is board president of the Coalition for the Deschutes. She talks about short and long-term solutions to problems in the upper Deschutes River. Short term, she says, year-round flows of 300 cubic feet per second can be established to moderate run off and allow the river ecology to begin improving. She says that flow level would provide adequate water for users, including farms. The suggested flow is contained in a 1996 Wild and Scenic Management Plan for the upper Deschutes. Longer term solutions include irrigation district upgrades to reduce waste and evaporation as water is transported for irrigation.

Freilich argues that most people simply don’t understand the fragile nature of rivers. “The river banks have vegetation that is tremendously important to the animals and plants that live here.” He explains that the bottom of a river is the most important part of the waterway, providing food for aquatic life. “The stone flies, mayflies, caddis flies, and small midge larvae live in the bottom. The rocks, gravel, and riffles are all vitally important. All of that is affected by flow regime.” Referring to water released at Wickiup, Freilich says, “You can’t just turn it on like a hose and turn it off like a hose and expect nature to go on its merry way.”

Shon Rae, communications manager for the Central Oregon Irrigation District, is cautious about the short-term solutions offered by the coalition. “With regard to whether 300 cfs of year-round flow is what is needed to protect the frog, the whole issue of winter flows is very much the subject of ongoing consideration by the experts.”

She continued, “You can’t look at winter flows in a vacuum – as providing more flow during certain times of the year will affect what happens in the river at other times of the year.”

COID’s Rae stated that whatever changes might be appropriate in the short term, the long-term approach is still the same. “We need to modernize our existing delivery system. Such modernization includes conservation efforts like piping and lining canals, which requires significant funding.”

Rae says irrigation districts will continue work on developing conservation measures that will be included in the Habitat Conservation Plan. “The [irrigation] districts fully anticipate that the final HCP measures will meet the requirements of the Endangered Species Act while enabling the districts to continue to fulfill legal obligations to deliver water to their patrons,” she explained.

Short-term solutions not supported with

“The collaborative process that is unfolding in Central Oregon to address the loss of habitat for the spotted frog is remarkable,” Merkley said.

Last week, Sen. Jeff Merkley included language in a Senate Energy and Water Appropriations bill that urges the Bureau of Reclamation to provide additional funding for projects that will help irrigation districts comply with the Endangered Species Act.

COID’s Shon Rae adds, “If enacted into law, the Water Appropriations bill will be a boost to continuing our collaborative approach to water needs in our basin.”

Monarch butterflies are declining drastically with 80 percent of the population of eastern monarchs lost in the last decade. Central Oregonians can learn how to protect monarch butterflies at two upcoming events in May. May 10 ~ Tom Landis from the Southern Oregon Monarch Advocates will present “Bringing Monarchs Back to Central Oregon.” Oregon is a critical location for western monarch butterflies migrating north after wintering in California. “Creating monarch way stations and pollinator gardens on their flyways is possibly our only hope of protecting this diminishing species,” says Landis. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. at Sunriver Nature Center’s Pozzi Building. Admission is free; reservations can be made at 541-593-4394.

May 12 ~ “Monarchs, Milkweeds –– and YOU” will be held at Bend’s Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. The symposium will cover habitat restoration and citizen science projects. The four speakers include Landis, Katya Spiecker, founder of Monarch Advocates of Central Oregon, US Forest Service geneticist Matt Horning, and David James, associate professor of entomology at Washington State University. Doors open at 6 p.m. Additional information and reservations are available via Facebook on the page for the Monarch Advocates of Central Oregon.

Report Sick or Dead Bats to ODFW Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) activated an online bat reporting website and hotline to prevent the spread of White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) recently found in a little brown bat in Washington state.

Anyone finding a dead bat or who observes bats flying during the day or during freezing weather should report this to ODFW via its Wildlife Health Hotline at 866-968-2600.

ODFW veterinarian Colin Gillin explains that WNS is a fungal disease occurring in hibernating bats that has killed more than six million bats in the last 10 years. It was first discovered in New York and has now spread to 28 states and five Canadian provinces. Visit whitenosesyndrome.org to learn more.

Glacier cave explorers look for answers

By Jim Anderson

W

hen Brent McGregor and Eddy Cartaya, of the Oregon High Desert Grotto (OHDG) cavers, took on the gigantic project of exploring Snow Dragon glacial cave on Mt. Hood, they didn’t know where it would lead. They took Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Field Guide crew in to film their under-the-ice adventure, and the success of the project led to the formation of the nonprofit organization Glacier Cave Explorers (GCE).

expeditions were planned for three more mountains.

Scientists contacted the team to explore Sandy Glacier Caves on Mt. Hood; Crater Glacier Caves on Mt. St., Helens and Summit Fumarole Caves on Mt. Rainer.

Glaciers are dynamic rivers of ice, always in a state of change. Unlike rock caves, which are more or less static, these caves are different. By surveying and measuring the glacier caves year after year, scientists hope to relate their volumetric change to the rate of recession or growth in the glacier.

In addition to climatology and geomorphology, the research conducted by GCE contributes to other scientific disciplines, including geochemistry, microbiology and astrobiology. Glacier caves, like tree rings, reveal the many layers of ice that have accumulated over the centuries. The chemical makeup of the ice layers provides information about what was happening in the atmosphere at a particular time.

THE LIFE FORMS FOUND IN THESE CAVES COULD PROVIDE CLUES ABOUT POSSIBLE MICROBIAL LIFE ELSEWHERE. One of the goals of GCE is to learn how glacier caves influence the growth and recession of glaciers, and how they channel the effects of climate and geothermal activity. The need is to determine how these forces work in order to try to control the life and death of a glacier and influence ice packs. By finding out why ice packs are disappearing and how the caves influence that, researchers hope to become better informed about protecting the caves and ice packs, or planning for the consequences.

Not only was the Snow Dragon project a smashing success for McGregor and Cartaya on public television, but glacier scientists found it so intriguing that research

Furthermore, rare microbial communities live at the base of a glacier, where the ice touches the underlying lava rock, and steam fumaroles emit gases that provide nutrients for these microbes. Astrobiologists study these life forms to see how things might grow in space. These extreme environments simulate conditions found under ice packs on other bodies in Earth’s solar system, such as Mars and Europa, one of

the moons of Jupiter. The life forms found in these caves could provide clues about possible microbial life elsewhere In addition to the scientific data collected, the cave maps generated by the expeditions can be used by search and rescue teams to locate and extract lost and injured cavers and climbers. The equipment GCE needs for exploratory research, therefore, will not only help glacier scientists learn more about the little-known glacial caves of the Northwest, but provide a great deal of additional practical knowledge of glaciers that will go a long way toward helping snow country rescue projects come out better in the end for rescuers and victims.

Last year GCE invested about $20,000 purchasing equipment necessary for conducting the glacier cave studies; this coming season the cost for equipment will be around $30,000. The equipment necessary for last year’s expedition on Mt Rainier came from grants from National Geographic, Mazamas, Petzl climbing equipment suppliers, and the Mountain Rescue Association.

McGregor and Cartaya’s life-threatening work on Mt. Rainer opened the door to the irrefutable fact that in order to even begin such a project in the future it would be absolutely necessary to establish a budget for the special equipment that would protect their lives.

Anyone wishing to support the nonprofit to support the scientific adventure can learn more about it online at glaciercaveexplorers.org.

OCHOCO CREEK RESTORATION

By Brian Jennings

The young student from the Powell Butte Community Charter School exudes pride as he successfully plants a willow tree along Ochoco Creek east of Prineville. Along with about 30 other students from the Crook County School system in Prineville, he is participating in field day activities helping to restore a quarter-mile section of Ochoco Creek where cattle grazing has caused riparian damage. Sponsored by the Crook County Soil & Water District, Portland General Electric, Trout Unlimited, and Crook County schools, the goal is to plant hundreds of willows, alders, cottonwood, and other plants to help create shade for cooler and, ultimately, cleaner water.

Decades earlier the creek served as important spawning grounds for steelhead and salmon. Only five miles in length, the creek runs through private ranch lands from the west end of the Ochoco Reservoir through the city of Prineville before it joins the Crooked River. Native redband trout thrive in its waters, and the long-term goal is to help restore steelhead and salmon spawning grounds as part of an overall re-introduction effort in the upper Deschutes River system.

“If the creek had not been grazed at all,” explains Darek Staab of Trout Unlimited, “you might see a lot more alder, willow, and cottonwood trees next to the stream’s edge.” Each of those trees grows leaves and feeds insects, which in turn feed fish, he explains to the students. “They provide shade, and sometimes tiny fish like to hide under the branches of a plant growing next to a stream.”

Lisa Keown is a natural resources instructor at Crook County High School and she is there to help provide hands-on instruction to the students, ranging in age from fifth and sixth graders through high school. “We have a really unique program in collaboration with natural resource organizations in the Prineville area.” She explains that 11th and 12th grade students can get college credit for taking the courses.

“It’s experiential learning for the students. They get to work with other natural resource professionals doing great projects all the time. It’s really amazing,” she says.

participate enable them to get out of the classroom where they can better learn about their community and the natural environment. “Whether they want to continue on in natural resources or not, I think having that base knowledge of what’s around them is really important,” she says.

As the students line the creekside digging holes for the hundreds of plants they hope will grow and flourish, Keown

“A LOT OF THESE STUDENTS REALLY NEED THAT HANDS-ON NATURAL RESOURCE, OUTSIDE LEARNING EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE IT’S REALLY BENEFICIAL TO THEM.”

Staab tells the students that Ochoco Creek used to be an important place for steelhead to reproduce. “Adult steelhead will be coming up Ochoco Creek looking for good spawning gravels to be able to lay and fertilize their eggs,” Staab says. “Ideally, young steelhead will follow the stream to the Deschutes River, to the Columbia River, and eventually to the ocean and back again several years later,” he adds.

“A lot of these students really need that hands-on natural resource, outside learning experience,” says Keown, “because it’s really beneficial to them.” She explains that the field outings in which Crook County students frequently

-Lisa Keown

cautions one student not to bury the plant too deeply into the soil. “Be careful, because if you get too much of the stem wet, it rots.” She helps the student fill in the hole and raise the plant so the dirt doesn’t cover up the stem. “Fill that in,” she tells the student, “step on the soil, and then we’ll water it using the bucket.” As the student finishes tamping the soil firmly around the plant with his foot, she tells him, “Perfect.”

He then runs for the water bucket to finish his job. In all, the students planted over 300 different plant species on this Ochoco Creek restoration outing.

EARTH DAY 2016

T

he idea of a battle between cars and bikes is an interesting one because there does seem to be a rivalry between the two modes of transportation. In Bend, a day doesn’t go by (especially downtown) without bicyclists and car drivers cursing each other.

Yet it should be easy to understand the common purpose of traveling safely between home, work, school or play.

The documentary film “Bikes vs. Cars” makes its stance known even with the promotional art. The key image found in the opening credits and across the website is of a bicyclist literally dragging Earth out of a smoggy and disgusting haze. The film will be presented Thursday, April 21, as part of SUSTAIN Central Oregon, co-sponsored by Central Oregon Community College, The Environmental Center and the Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA).

The film heads to Sao Paulo and Los Angeles, showing the complete failure both cities have when it comes to multimodal transportation. The public transportation system in Los Angeles, in particular, is a joke, leaving most residents without much in the way of other options.

Due to the failure to pass the gas tax, the city of Bend has been looking for ways to make up some of the money that tax would have put toward maintaining Bend roads.

At a recent Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) meeting in Bend, the idea was broached to cut $5,000 from the already paltry $15,000 bike lane maintenance

budget. The idea was quickly squashed. By comparison, Portland’s Metro Council has proposed dedicating $1.5 million over three years to the Safe Routes to School program.

However, there is no money set aside for the infrastructure yet, but the vote on the allocation of those funds will be held on April 21.

Is Bend a bike friendly town?

Henry Abel from Pine Mountain Sports and the man behind the screening of “Bikes vs.

Cars” took a moment to answer whether Bend is a bike town. “The short answer is mostly yes. The long answer is that Bend, or any town, is as bike friendly as you make it.

You wanna make it bike friendly? Then start riding your bike. The more bikes that are on the road here, the more used to bikes Bend gets, and the friendlier to bikes Bend becomes. You want bike infrastructure to appear? Show the city that you’re going to be riding your bike,” says Abel.

Bend’s bike lanes, public transportation system, sidewalks and infrastructure in general all need quite a bit of work, especially as the population continues to grow exponentially. What it really comes down to isn’t bikes versus cars, it’s safety versus short-sightedness, and that’s not a sustainable way to live.

THE GREENER SIDE OF LIFE VegNet Bend

By Angela Moore

F

ounded in Bend in 2008 by Judy Petullo, VegNet Bend is a local nonprofit that raises awareness about the benefits of a plant-based diet for reasons including health, animal rights and Earth preservation.

It all started six months after Petullo lost her daughter in a car accident. “I was walking downtown and saw a pamphlet on the conditions of animals-for-slaughter. I knew I couldn’t support that any longer, and I had to do something about it,” she says. “I could relate to their pain.” She formed VegNet Bend with the goal of spreading the word through events and community.

of eliminating animal product in diets, the health benefits, and the political side of the issue.

“With the information I had 27 years ago, my immediate thoughts were that I was going to be less healthy,” says Petullo.

However, “It was just the opposite,” she says. “I wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t made that change,” she says, discussing the chest pains she used to have almost

“I WOULDN’T BE HERE TODAY IF I HADN’T MADE THAT CHANGE.”

The organization makes it a point to involve the public through regular vegan potlucks that are open to the whole community. The invite is for all, and meat eaters are welcome, even encouraged, to come and try the many plant-based food options that exist. It is a good chance to collaborate on ideas and share recipes with like-minded folks. Recently, this nonprofit hosted an event at the Tower Theatre for its Spring Wellness Jumpstart with the screening of the film “PlantPure Nation,” which speaks to the importance

on a daily basis that disappeared after adopting a vegan diet.

Plant-based diets have environmental benefits as well. It takes 14 gallons of water to produce a pound of wheat compared to 441 gallons to produce a pound of meat.

SOUND Retro Majestic Laney Jones

ALBUM REVIEW

By Jared Rasic

A legend in the making

By Angela Moore

submitted

Whenever good hip-hop music passes by, it is hard not to compare it to Bend’s own Person People. With members including Mike Fish, KP, Mosley Wotta, Mez, Sorski and Adam Bomb, they were one of the most explosive hip-hop collaborations far and wide. Several years after their untimely breakup, Fish is back with a new crew known as Smooth Beast.

Laney Jones brings talent far beyond her years to Volcanic Theatre Pub.

L

aney Jones is the front for the band Laney Jones and the Spirits, a group based out of the boot of Florida. It is important not to underestimate the power of this disarmingly petite, young and downright adorable 24-year-old. What she is offering to the music world, or even the world as a whole, is enormous. This singer and songwriter has been known to waltz on stage with her banjo and completely blow crowds away. Her vocal strength and string-plucking ability are incredible, but her songwriting skills are growing in fame around the country.

Jones describes her music as “retro majestic,” and she explains what she means by telling the Source about her love for all kinds of music, including old-timey string bands and rock. “I like a lot of cool music that has some bass, drums and electric guitar. It can create these rich sounds that are still totally rock and roll,” she says.

Jones is no stranger to anything with strings. Her primary instruments include the banjo, guitar and ukulele. Occasionally, she works the harmonica into her repertoire, but she is probably most noted for her presence with the banjo and remembers the first time she came into contact with one. “I picked up the

banjo and thought, ‘Wow. This is an amazing sound,’” she says. She uses both the musical and percussion elements of the instrument. “It can create this sort of beat that can help me with my songwriting,” she says.

Jones’ petite appearance and young age are a challenge for the musically-inclined Maryland native. “It’s easy to get the perception a small or young person doesn’t have an emotional story or impact,” she says. “I may not have experienced it all, but I can certainly relate. I can put myself in someone else’s shoes,” she says. Her fans do not disagree, and so far, the first West Coast tour has been an absolute success. “You all [in the west] are more relaxed than on the East Coast,” she says.

“I can tell that you guys just really dig music.”

National acclaim for her writing and performing abilities came in 2014 when Jones won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her part in the song “Still Want You to be Mine.” That award and honor will likely be just one of many more to come for this young musician.

Though some musicians lose their grounding when a taste of fame licks their

careers, this is not the case for Jones.

When discussing her accomplishments, including soundtracks for Disney and Dreamworks, airplay for her album “Golden Road” on countless radio stations, or performing with Alison Krauss, she reflects on the best part. “Getting to walk out on stage and play with my friends is the real highlight,” she says.

The friends are her under-publicized bandmates currently on tour with her, including Matthew Tonner, Tre Hester and Brian Dowd. This group is very much looking forward to playing in Bend and would like fans to know, “If you want to talk to us after the show and grab drinks, that’s cool. We are personable people,” says Jones. Currently nearing the end of its first West Coast tour, Jones and the Spirits are taking it all in stride and remain humble and down-to-earth. SW

Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend $8 adv., $10 door

Fish is now coming out of Oakland, where he met MC Karen Less and clicked right off the bat. Fish says, “We started frequenting a hip-hop night in San Francisco called Return Of The Cypher (R.O.T.C.) where MCs can get on the mic and do their thing with the Gem Stone Band and DJ Kevvy Kev on the ones and twos. There we met The Monolyth and Gigio over a respect for skills, genuine eye-toeye conversation and a good life outlook.”

Thus, Smooth Beast was born and its self-titled debut album is about to drop like a pretty fat baby. The record is great, with the entire crew having distinct flows, writing styles and voices that give the record an unpredictable and exciting sound. Fish’s production and the boom bap beats are simultaneously tightly wound and relaxed, never drawing focus from the four MCs and their words.

Karen Less is an absolute dynamo, completely staking her claim on every single word she spits. As great as MFish, The Monolyth and Gigio are (and they are absolutely superb storytellers), Less is a huge find. Some modern MCs end up with a sound more akin to spoken word poetry over hip-hop beats, whereas Less’ poetry is hip-hop in every way.

Tracks such as “Forever Funky,” “Already Know” and “No More Heaters” are instant ear worms, with the whole album an easy choice for regular rotation. Smooth Beast’s sound instantly differentiates itself. SW

Bend International School celebrates diversity

33

By Angela Moore

Jacob Norris is a plein-air oil painter, meaning he paints in the open air. His portfolio is filled with owls, trees, power lines, scenes and colors of Central Oregon, but there is also a magnificent transcendent nature to his work, beyond the range of mere human experience. It is as if he is able to catch things in their hidden moments before they are ready to be seen.

Norris explains that the first strokes of a painting are a deconstruction of the bigger picture. “My process is chaos, beauty, love, friendship and connection,” he says.

BIS’ students “hands on” project proves it takes teamwork to get the job done. Señora Susie’s First grade students deep in their studies. Photos by Angela Moore.

B

end International School recently celebrated its first year serving the students and community of Bend.

Tucked away off of O.B. Riley Road on the north side of town, BIS is a public charter school teaching kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8) using a world language immersion program. It makes well-rounded education the main focus for its students, incorporating culture in lesson plans, presentations and even in its daily lunch program.

plans instill in each pupil knowledge and familiarity with other world cultures.

Mixing up the everyday routine within the educational experience is a key concept for the school. “It’s easy for students to be in school and get bored,” says Rupp. Although America is a melting pot of culture, religion and race, the actual study and involvement with these groups can be lacking in everyday life.

It’s the experience, curiosity and interest that is important in retention.

“When we can teach children in a way that is related to the real world, it becomes a lot more meaningful,” says Meera Rupp, the director of the school.

“They are part of the world and they can make a difference,” she says.

BIS involves their students in as much diversity as it can in every way it can.

Each day of the week features the cuisine of a different country through the school’s local-global lunch program.

Young palettes get a taste of international fare with the menu changing daily to cater to the different flavors that come from a variety of different world regions.

This allows for the students to be stimulated to learn through all five senses.

Rupp and her staff at Bend International School are bilingual and world traveled.

Rupp grew up in a multicultural home, her father being from India and her mother, Irish-American. She has lived in India, the Dominican Republic and Spain, and is fluent in Spanish. The school uses the immersion method to teach Spanish. Half of the day is taught or experienced in Spanish, including electives, lunch, project-based learning and specials. The other half of the day is in English.

The school teaches a basic education outlined by state requirements, but does not stop there. The teachers’ lesson

Bend residents hold culture and arts in high regard and international knowledge is greatly sought after and appreciated.

However, there are limited opportunities for firsthand experience with other cultures available within the community.

BIS is changing that, one student, one project and one lunch at a time.

By making diversification a normal part of the students’ routine, and an everyday experience, students are presented

a unique perspective on not only their own lives, but on others, no matter how far away that may be.

Starting at such a young age, these students communicate with children in other countries. The goal is bilingual fluency (Spanish/English) and advanced reading and writing skills for native and non-native speakers. Every student and teacher at the school is matched with a partner in Tiaquepaque, Mexico, to communicate and work together throughout the year.

Meaningful learning at Bend International includes projects that benefit the local and global community. There is a focus on the natural world, including environmental education and outdoor learning, as well as service-based learning. In addition to bilingualism, the school also places great value on the unique expression and learning style of the individual. It teaches non-violent communication and conflict resolution as well as critical thinking to help resolve social problems, and one day, society at large. SW

The chaos and beauty of his life continue to fuel his painting. “I push on,” says Norris. “The painting becomes me. I see a hawk, an eagle, a song bird, and they become a stroke atop a tree, swishing through the sky. It becomes a dance with nature,” he says. When time stops and the universe opens, he turns the painting over to life and lets the imagination take the abstract and bring it to reality.

That deconstruction is evident in the art, where the horizon above Tumalo Reservoir is an entire world unto itself, roiling and tempestuous. Norris further explains: “Then I begin to organize, separating things into piles. On the canvas this is the division of the horizon, the sky, the Earth and the value of light that brings depth to the painting. At this point I might bring in a daydream of my lover wisping through the woods. I might lose focus; I might get hungry. I might want to stop and make love in the middle of the chaos of dishes, piles of laundry, unmade beds.”

Norris had a three-week old baby when he lost his job and decided to put his art into the world. Now he is a husband and father of three, finding inspiration in every aspect of his life. SW

Cajun Meets Asian

Blackened Dragon food cart opens in new location

In his Blackened Dragon kitchen, chef Nick Ragazzo makes his food from scratch. Shown at left is the Pork Po'Mi sandwich. Photo courtesy of Blackened Dragon.

N

ick Ragazzo is a 33-year-old chef who decided one day that he no longer wanted to work for anyone but himself. A native of the East Coast and well-traveled, Ragazzo wanted to put his own spin on creative cooking. That’s where the Blackened Dragon comes into play. The passionate chef is now the sole owner and operator of one of Bend’s newest food carts, open for less than two months now. His new food cart specializes in what he calls Cajun-Asian street food, with bold flavors and mix-matched, yet complementary dishes.

The name Blackened Dragon, he explains, comes from his style of cooking.

“Blackened” refers to the Cajun and “Dragon” to the Asian influence. It all began one day not so long ago. He was working for “not the nicest chef,” in Portland. “I was always really into making shift meals with what was left over, and one day the chef, just to be [a jerk] threw

me and another cook a bunch of random ingredients, thinking we couldn’t do anything with it. Well, we did. The other cook was thinking more Cajun and I, more Asian.” He reminisces with a smile about the theme of his cart and how it came to be.

One of his current menu items is the unusual and wonderful Pork Po’Mi. This is a clever combination of a po’boy, originating from Louisiana, and the popular Vietnamese sandwich called a bahn mi.

Blackened Dragon takes these two and creates something unique and delicious with locally sourced products and ingredients, filling a Pho roll with house terrine, pork shoulder, fried pickles, aioli and lettuce.

He talks passionately about the quality of ingredients he sources, and when his obvious enthusiasm is pointed out, this vibrant chef shrugs and says, “I just get

excited about all food and about supporting local families and business.” That’s an absolutely commendable thing to say in such a competitive business. Aside from experiencing his tasty creations, supporting Blackened Dragon (or at least giving it a try) supports other local businesses and the families who own and operate them.

In addition to the supportive approach to keeping things local, another key factor is the freshness and quality standards he carries. He creates and cooks almost everything from scratch. “It is a 99 percent scratch-kitchen,” he says. “I make my own sausage, pasta, pretty much all of it. It’s extremely labor intensive, but it’s worth it,” says Ragazzo.

Currently Ragazzo is the only worker to man his cart. “I have no life. All I do is work,” he says with a smile. Blackened Dragon kept a low profile in its first

MICRO Big IPA, Little IPA Deschutes goes all-in on hops this summer

37

By Kevin Gifford

The take-home from this performance is pretty clear: India pale ale sells. Thus, for 2016, Deschutes is introducing two new hoppy ales to its bottled lineup. Down ‘N Dirty IPA is its latest year-round release, available now in 22-ounce bottles across the brewery’s entire distribution map. Named after the annual Dirty Half Marathon

sponsored by FootZone in Bend, it’s a fairly rugged ale at 6.3 percent, and while it’s not the citrus explosion that Fresh Squeezed is, it’s still an attractive package of Cascade and Centennial hops, keeping things smooth and offering just a bit of tart goodness at the end.

It’s joined this summer by Hop Slice Session IPA, which replaces Twilight Summer Ale (the sales of which, sources say, were heavily cannibalized by Fresh Squeezed) in Deschutes’ seasonal rotation. “Session IPA” is a bit of a controversial genre—a lot of so-called session IPAs are really plain old A’s, flavor-wise—but the 4.5 percent Hop Slice sweetens things a bit with Meyer lemon, which lends a juicy feel to the Azacca, Galaxy, and Amarillo hops and keeps things full-bodied and flavorful for the low alcohol content.

eschutes Brewery is growing—opening a new production facility in Roanoke, Virginia, as announced a few weeks ago—and it’s fair to say that Fresh Squeezed IPA is a major driver of that growth. Since Bend’s biggest brewery started bottling it in 2013, and especially once it became an all-season beer the following year, the Citra and Mosaic-hop bomb has become one of Deschutes’ biggest brands nationwide. On Untappd, the beer-centric social app that lets users keep track of what they’ve drunk and where they drank it, Fresh Squeezed has been checked in over 347,000 times, making it Deschutes’ most popular beer on the app by far. (Black Butte Porter is a distant second place at 207,000 checkins.)

Life in the Remake Jungle

“The Jungle Book” amazes with a new twist on Kipling’s classic

By Jared Rasic

39 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 16 / April 21, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

"The Jungle Book" is the story of a man cub and his bear friend, superbly played by Bill Murray.

T

he story is already well known. “The Jungle Book” is about Mowgli, a man cub (human boy) raised by a family of wolves in a jungle. When an angry tiger decides Mowgli must die, the boy begins an epic journey through the dangerous and deceptively beautiful jungle to live with the rest of the humans. Throughout his travels, he meets elephants, bears, snakes, monkeys and just about everything in between. The story itself hasn’t been altered much, except for one exceptionally smart thing. Rudyard Kipling’s 1894 “Jungle Book” stories were thematically tied to the idea that man must overcome nature and master it. This modern telling takes the stance that man must protect the world and act as its guardian in order for there to be anything left. It’s a brilliant masterstroke in updating the source material for the time period.

Neel Sethi as Mowgli is all gangly arms and legs as if he sprung whole cloth from the cartoon itself. Since the entire film was shot on sound stages with puppets

standing in for the CG animals, Sethi’s performance and the direction of Jon Favreau are even more impressive. None of the film would work if we didn’t care about Mowgli, and Sethi is instantly lovable.

There isn’t a frame of this film that doesn’t have a digital creation in it, yet it never feels like an airless construct.

The jungle is real and characters such as Baloo, Bagheera, Shere Kahn, Raksha, King Louie and Kaa are fully formed creations. Bill Murray’s Baloo (a Himalayan brown bear) is as fun as you would think, but Lupita Nyong’o’s Raksha (the mother wolf) and Idris Elba’s Shere Kahn (the royal Bengal tiger) are powerful creations, too.

The showstopper of the film is the introduction of King Louie, who has been updated from an orangutan to a Gigantopithecus. Meaning he is a massive and scary creature here, living in the ancient ruins as a Colonel Kurtz-type insane king. His confrontation with Mowgli,

combined with unpredictable vocal work

by Christopher Walken, make Louie a fearsome and memorable creation people will be talking about for years.

“The Jungle Book” takes the bankable idea of remaking beloved properties and throws the cynicism out the window. If filmgoers get even one new version of an old film as incredible as this, wading through the sequel and remake swamp to get to it is worth it. This is what going to the movies is all about: the wonder, beauty and pure transportation to a world familiar, yet completely cinematic.

Starting in 1994, Disney has released numerous sequels including “Bambi II,” “The Little Mermaid II,” and “101 Dalmatians II.” Most releases go straight to DVD, selling millions the weekend they are released. Disney presumably hedges that most kids aren’t too hung up on character development, quality or anything else that makes a movie work.

Parents are comfortable with something appropriate to entertain the kids for a

few hours, and the formula gets leveraged again and again. Sequels weren’t quite easy enough for Disney, though, so it started releasing live action remakes of its classic cartoons (last year’s “Cinderella” being among them).

It can sometimes be very easy to look at what Disney has been doing over the last several years and become cynical about the entire operation. It is a much safer bet for the Mouse House to strip mine its entire back catalogue than to create entirely new intellectual properties that could fail miserably. That goes for the entire film industry. However, with “The Jungle Book,” somehow, beyond all reason or reckoning, Favreau has made something beautiful, timeless and absolutely enthralling.

Sci-fi Chase Film Runs Short on Depth “Midnight Special” fails to satisfy

By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 21, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

40

In "Midnight Special," this boy might be the end of all of us.

“M

idnight Special” is an art-house science fiction/thriller/road movie with a stellar cast, interesting director and a script that unpeels layers of mystery throughout its running time. As entertaining and enthralling as the film is, however, all of the disparate pieces don’t add up to a satisfying whole.

“Midnight Special” tells the story of a boy, Alton Meyer, who is either a prophet, an alien, or something in between.

Two men have taken the boy from the compound of a cult that worships and studies everything the boy says as scripture. As the cult sends some dangerous men after the young man, the National Security Agency (NSA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are also hunting him, afraid he is a weapon or something infinitely more terrifying.

Michael Shannon and Joel Edgerton play Roy and Lucas, the men protecting the

boy. Although Roy is the boy’s father and Lucas is Roy’s long-lost friend, the men’s dialogue to each other and the boy is so muted and understated that even the smallest plot points become mysterious.

The boy, played by Jaeden Lieberher, picks up radio waves in his head and shoots white hot beams of light from his eyes, so a little ambiguity serves the film well. However, the script becomes an exercise in withholding, something writer/ director Jeff Nichols is evidently doing intentionally.

The audience is shoved right into the danger and intrigue, so information about the characters and their relationships to each other comes at a trickle, sometimes too late to matter. When all is said and done, the story the film is telling is actually quite a simple one. It feels as familiar as an episode of “The X-Files” mixed with elements of “E.T.” Since the story that

Nichols is telling is so basic, the continual obfuscation of plot points comes across as feigned complexity instead of mysteriousness.

“Midnight Special” fails to use its excellent cast effectively, with Michael Shannon and Joel Edgerton doing OK with what they have, but their arcs feel only partially realized. Adam Driver plays a friendly NSA numbers guy who is hunting Alton. Driver’s muddiness of motivation is symptomatic of the failure of the entire film. As entrancing as everything is to watch, all of the pieces don’t add up to a satisfying movie, let alone a coherent one.

The film is beautifully photographed with pacing that keeps everything moving right along. “Midnight Special” is so deeply unsatisfying because of how easy it is to love something so bizarrely ambitious, yet ultimately undercooked.

FILM EVENTS

This should have been a hugely satisfying and brilliant project because of everyone involved. Instead, it is just a middling idea stretched to two hours of thin plot, hidden by quiet conversations and almost self-parodying quasi-mystery. “Midnight Special” is sci-fi for people who aren’t really sci-fi fans.

“Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party”

Patagonia Bend will host this screening of “The More Things Change,” which focuses on surfing legend and Bendite Gerry Lopez’s return to Uluwatu. Then there will be a screening of the classic surf film “Five Summer Stories,” followed by Gerry himself signing his book and answering questions.

Part of the LGBT movie night series, “Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party” is about a preacher’s son struggling with his sexuality on his 17th birthday. Pat Healy’s performance is so strong in this film that it should have made him an instant movie star, yet still he toils in supporting roles and the indie world.

The final shot of the movie is excellently conceived, but so poorly executed that the sour taste left behind stains the entire film-going experience. The ending, combined with all of the other ambiguous plot holes throughout, leave the film feeling like a first draft of an excellent idea.

"The Boss"

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

THE BOSS: Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Bell team up for a comedy about a rich and powerful businesswoman who is sent to prison for insider trading. When she is released, she will stop at nothing to rebuild her empire, but she has to start small and work her way up. The trailers don’t inspire many laughs, but McCarthy and Bell have charisma to burn and their comedic chops should bounce perfectly off of each other. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BRONZE: This one was picked up a few years ago at Sundance, but wasn’t released until now, which isn’t a good sign. The film follows a horrific human being (Melissa Rauch) who was a former Bronze medalist in the Olympics. She has been cashing in on her celebrity in her hometown for years, until she is asked to train a young gymnast who might possibly steal her glory. Word on this flick is not good at all. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CRIMINAL: Kevin Costner plays an ex-con who is implanted with the memories of a dead spy in order to finish his assignment.

The trailer is pretty terrible, but a cast featuring Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Gal Gadot, Gary Oldman, Michael Pitt, Alice Eve, Scott Adkins and Ryan Reynolds is a movie that must be seen. One hopes it will at least be a fun and exciting diversion, but critical reviews are not being kind. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DEMOLITION: Jake Gyllenhaal plays an investment banker who lost his wife in a car crash and is struggling to come to terms with the loss. He sends confessional letters to a vending machine company, not just because it ate his dollar, but to find a small connection with someone else in the world. The trailers aren’t selling the film as anything special, but director Jean-Marc Vallee (“Wild” & “Dallas Buyers Club”” knows how to take grief and tell a mesmerizing tale. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT: This tells the story of the relationship between an Amazonian shaman and the scientists he befriends who are searching for a healing plant.

This isn’t just a beautifully photographed look at the Amazon, but also a deeply philosophical tale that raises just as many questions as answers about the nature of life and death. A must-see for film buffs and travelers alike. Tin Pan Theater.

EYE IN THE SKY: This could end up being the final completed film performance of the great Alan Rickman. This tells the story of a drone pilot and the military and government controllers who set him down a path he doesn’t want to be on. With actors Helen Mirren, Rickman, Aaron Paul and Jeremy Northam, expect “Eye in the Sky” to be a taut, cerebral thriller along the lines of “Deterrence” and other ethical war movies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 16 / April 21, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

BARBERSHOP: THE NEXT CUT: The “Barbershop” series has always been a surprisingly funny and heartfelt franchise filled with well-drawn characters and a genuine sense of community. This new release sees Ice Cube and Eve combining the barbershop and the beauty salon because of the economic downturn, while also dealing with out-of-control gang violence in Chicago’s South Side. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

41

HARDCORE HENRY: This film has already divided audiences down the middle with some calling it a genre-defying game changer and others saying it made them sick to their stomach. Sick not because of violence or subject matter, but because the entire action/sci-fi spectacle is shot from first-person POV, making the experience rough for people who get motion sickness. Regardless, the film should be unlike anything since the opening few minutes of “Strange Days” many years ago. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE JUNGLE BOOK: In what is easily the best film of 2016 so far, director Jon Favreau takes a very familiar story and tells it so perfectly that it seems timeless. “The Jungle Book” is a seamless vision into a world of talking animals and with Christopher Walken, Idris Elba, Bill Murray, Lupita Nyong’o and more voicing the characters, the animals never feel less than real. There are scary moments and some violence, but the teachable moments in this film make it required viewing for families around the world. See full review, p. 39. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WE'VE MOVED New Location 2139 NE 3rd St., Bend 541-330-6102

MARGUERITE: A comedic drama about a renowned opera singer who is almost always off key and terrible. What could have ended up being a one-joke premise stretched to two hours, “Marguerite” is instead a touching and slyly funny look at the little white lies we tell ourselves and others to make life just a little bit easier. Very much worth checking out whether an opera fan or not. Tin Pan Theater

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL: Director Jeff Nichols makes movies for people who like a bit of strangeness with their film conventions.

With “Take Shelter” he turned a paranoid end of the world thriller into something deeper and much more wonderful and with “Mud” he took a coming of age story and added mystery and thematic depth to it. Now, we have “Midnight Special” a sci-fi road trip movie that plays out like a reverse “E.T.” Seeing this in the theaters would help more movies like this to be made. Reviewed on p. 40. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2: We check back in on the happy couple we left 14 years ago. Now, Toula and Ian are sending their teenage daughter off to college and trying to figure out ways to rekindle the spark in their relationship. Also, they have another wedding to attend and this one promises to be bigger, fatter and Greeker than ever. For audiences that found the original charming, this trip back to the well will definitely do the trick. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX RACE: A new biopic about athlete Jesse Owens and his experiences at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. This should be uplifting, exciting and infuriating in equal measures and with director Stephen Hopkins (“Predator 2” and “Blown Away”), it will be visually sumptuous, as well. An important story that everyone should know. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ZOOTOPIA: One of the best animated films in years with a genuinely important message.

Taking a Stand for Wilderness Central Oregon’s Great Old Broads

By Brian Jennings 43 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 16 / April 21, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Great Old Broads for Wilderness hike in the Oregon Badlands Wilderness east of Bend. Shinann Earnshaw discusses the ecology of the area with the group. Photos by Brian Jennings.

I

n some social circles the term “great old broads” might be considered offensive.

However, the Great Old Broads for Wilderness are proud of the label. The organization was formed in 1989 as a protest to Utah Sen. Orin Hatch who opposed a wilderness proposal in his state, declaring that wilderness is inaccessible to the elderly because it doesn’t allow for roads. “If for no other reason, we need roads for the aged and infirm,” he stated. Incensed by that notion, a group of mature women who loved to hike in wilderness areas where roads are banned stood up to Sen. Hatch and formed the Great Old Broads for Wilderness. On one hike, someone remarked, “What a bunch of great old broads.” The name stuck. Today the organization boasts 5,000 members in 36 chapters, including one in Central Oregon.

Joanne Richter is co-leader of Central Oregon’s Great Old Broads—who call themselves “Bitterbrush Broads”—and she is proud of their activism. Among their many activities, the bitterbrush chapter conducts educational hikes called “broad walks.” Richter is one of a group that recently hiked through the Oregon

Badlands Wilderness east of Bend. “The Great Old Broads for Wilderness inspires elders to engage in activism for the protection of wilderness and public lands,” she says. Richter also says that the group is dedicated to hands-on service such as repairing trail systems. Earlier this year they organized a large rally in Bend to protest the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Recently, they went on record with the U.S. Forest Service as opposing a proposal for a 130-mile off-highway vehicle trail in the Ochoco National Forest.

Katya Spiecker, although young, is considered to be a “broad in training.” She is concerned with what she feels is a lack of wilderness areas in Oregon. According to statistics provided by the conservation group Oregon Wild, four percent of Oregon is protected as wilderness, while California boasts 15 percent, Washington 10 percent, and Idaho 9 percent. “It’s an alarming statistic,” Spiecker says, explaining that the Great Old Broads for Wilderness is a strong supporter of designating the Owyhee Canyonlands as wilderness. A 2.5 million-acre wilderness proposal for the Owyhee Canyonlands

has been heavily promoted by the Oregon Natural Desert Association and other groups, but it has been met with much local opposition in southeast Oregon.

Martha Bibb, an avid hiker and mountain biker, joined the broads for the Badlands Wilderness hike. Although a strong advocate of mountain biking in specially designated areas, she is opposed to allowing them into wilderness areas. “I don’t believe that any wheeled vehicles belong in the wilderness. I think its counter to the concept of wilderness,” she says. Bibb says mountain bikes cause rutting and erosion of trails. She says mountain bikers go off trail when they encounter hikers, widening trails and leading to further erosion. “You don’t need bikes in wilderness areas. In my opinion, wilderness is for foot traffic.” She is also opposed to the use of horses in wilderness areas.

Serving as hike leader, Shinann Earnshaw was the eldest of the broads on the Badlands Wilderness outing. Earnshaw, who lived in Chile for 12 years, recently returned to Bend. As chair of the local Sierra Club chapter, she was one of the early leaders to help create the Badlands

Wilderness and is gratified that the designation was secured during her time away.

“It was known as a place where teenagers went to hang out and party, and that was distressing.” Earnshaw explains that the desert area is much more than a barren landscape. “It has a lot of ecological importance in supporting vegetation, birds, animals, and wildlife that depend on the desert,” she says.

The Oregon Badlands Wilderness, approximately 15 miles east of Bend, was created by the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. It encompasses more than 29,000 acres in Deschutes and Crook counties and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The area was shaped by numerous lava flows from Newberry Crater over thousands of years. Soils were formed with ash from the eruption of Mt. Mazama (Crater Lake) approximately 7,700 years ago.

The wilderness contains some of the oldest juniper trees in the world. SW Great Old Broads for Wilderness Central Oregon Bitterbrush Broads www.greatoldbroads.org

Each hike is 4 to 6 miles and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. In-district cost is $50 and out-ofdistrict cost is $60. Contact BPRD at 541-389-7275.

Wildflower Watch Wildflower fans have a valuable online resource to check when successive blooms are occurring in Oregon at oregonwildflowers.org. The site was the brainstorm of avid wildflower enthusiast and hiker Greg Lief. Reports of where the latest blooms are occurring statewide are constantly updated and the website provides an interactive site for blooms by region. Site users can sign up for email notifications as blooms occur and can join an active Facebook group as well. Lief says the idea for the site originated from his frustration about a lack of reliable and accurate information and decided to do something about it by organizing the effort.

Central Oregon Hikes The Deschutes Land Trust has announced its 2016 Walk + Hike Series led by volunteer naturalists. The series includes a robust 120 free walks, hikes, and bike rides at Land Trust protected lands. Participants will be able to explore birds, wildflowers, and regional geology. Hikes range from short bird walks to longer, full-day outings exploring glacier-carved valleys and volcanic craters. There are even night hikes planned. Registration for each outing opens one month prior to the outing and can be done online at deschuteslandtrust.org/hikes. The Deschutes Land Trust conserves land for wildlife, scenic views and local communities, and has protected nearly 9,000 acres since 1995.

Columbia Gorge Hikes The Friends of the Columbia Gorge has an amazing hiking series available for those who want to explore the 40-mile stretch of this National Scenic Area. Through October, there are over 100 hikes available to explore wildflowers and waterfalls. The Columbia River Gorge was shaped by major floods beginning about 15,000 years ago when ice dams at the massive Lake Missoula in Montana burst, sending torrents of water through the region over thousands of years.

Women’s Rugby Gains Momentum Bend Lady Roughriders reach regional playoffs

By Brian Jennings 45 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 16 / April 21, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

“R

ugby? I didn’t even know it existed in Bend,” says Mara Burnell in summarizing the common response when the sport is brought up in conversation. There is women’s rugby competition in Bend – and at a high level thanks to the Bend Lady Roughriders, whose following is growing as the sport becomes more popular. They have clinched the playoffs in the Pacific Northwest Rugby Football Union for the first time and will host the final games April 23 to 24 at Pine Nursery Park.

There are nine teams in the union representing Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

The Roughriders are the only Oregon team to qualify for the finals and will host the Tacoma Siren on April 23. If they win, they will move on to the championship game Sunday, April 24, at noon. Their spring success follows years of struggle in building and maintaining a team. In the early years, the Roughriders had trouble fielding a complete team and sometimes played without a full complement of players on the field. Fifteen players play the game and the Bend women’s team at times could only field 12.

The Bend women’s rugby team was started in 2007 with six players. According to team President Mara Burnell, “We

struggled for numbers to even qualify to play our matches for about two years.”

Burnell says the Roughriders restructured their executive team, practices, and began more fundraising while building their social media presence. “Now, in one year,” says Burnell, “we went from last place to second.” The top spot is held by the Emerald City Mudhens from Seattle.

Burnell joined the team four years ago and had never played a team sport until then.

The league is made up mostly of post-college players from ages 21 to 36, but Burnell says anyone over 18 can play.

The game allows anyone to participate despite body size, ability, or athletic level because positions require different skill sets. Burnell adds they have girls from all different walks of life who are business owners, students, counselors, and artists, who came together for the love of the game. “With women the sport is becoming more popular,” she explains.

Burnell says many women missed playing after college and wanted to start a team in Bend. “We have a lot of women who played in college and helped bring the game to Bend,” she says.

The Roughriders want to build the popularity of the sport by introducing it

to the middle and high schools in Bend where there are no women’s rugby teams at present. Kirdy Molan, the team’s vice president, is tasked with that responsibility as coordinator for USA Oregon youth rugby. Molan has started to make the rounds to the Bend middle schools organizing co-ed flag games to expose students to the sport and create excitement about the game. Burnell acknowledges that a lot of people aren’t familiar with the game or rules and hopes middle school players will continue to play in high school and college. She also hopes to introduce the sport in summer camps.

Burnell points out that Central Oregon Community College fields a men’s team but hasn’t organized a women’s team as of yet.

Burnell admits the sport is rugged and that’s what attracted her to it. She likes extreme sports like rock climbing and snowboarding and thinks those individual sports helped kindle an interest in rugby when she first began playing. “When I started playing it was so much fun and the girls became one big family,” she says.

Heather Hagler is part of the Roughriders executive team and, like Burnell, also plays. “It’s been exciting to see the team grow over the last few years, not only

with the players, but our level of play.”

Hagler says the team’s turnaround began with more concentrated player recruitment and more donations, which helped provide better equipment and funding for the team. The team appointed a fundraising officer as part of its restructure. “We started running it more like a business,” she explains.

The sport of rugby football has its roots in early civilized history. The early Greeks and Romans played a game that appears to have resembled rugby. In the 1830s running with the ball became common at Rugby School and Rugby School football became popular in the 1850s and ‘60s in the United Kingdom.

When play is stopped because of an infringement or the ball goes out of bounds, play is resumed using a scrum where players pack closely together with their heads down in an effort to gain possession of the ball. Today, competition is international. The Rugby World Cup is played every four years, featuring the top 20 teams in the world.

O

in the Northwest NATURAL WORLD Spiders Revisiting hobos, widows and violins

By Jim Anderson

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 21, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

J

udging from the phone calls, emails and text messages, things have gotten out of hand in the spider world, especially regarding those thought to be dangerous. Hence, right from the get-go, let’s put the real “Bad One,” the brown recluse, also known as the violin spider— behind us.

One, it does not and cannot live in the Northwest. Two, if one is ever found here, it was transported from the Southwest, Kansas, or Texas, etc. The brown recluse is very distinctive; the violin-shaped marking on the carapace (lid on the front body part) is so plain to see it would be hard to miss it and even the juveniles sport that distinctive mark. Yes, this is a very deadly spider. The bite from a female violin/recluse spider can cause excruciating pain and severe necrosis in human flesh.

That leaves us the only native spider that can do any real damage: the black widow.

Stumbling into a black widow’s web, the web is so strong it actually crackles when broken. The black widow is black and she

has a bulbous abdomen (hind end), and very long legs. Don’t go looking for the red hour glass, young females don’t have it, but she can still administer harmful amounts of venom (NOT poison). Yes, there is a male in that group, he’s black, harmless and doesn’t sport an hour glass, but has red and white stripes on his back instead. He does have two large boxing glove-like appendages between his front legs in which he stores sperm.

Now we get to the infamous hobo spider, (Tegenaria agrestis) a member of the genus known colloquially as funnel web spiders. The hobo spider is one of a small number of spiders whose bites are generally considered to be “medically significant,” but the science for that quote is sadly lacking. The tale that gives the “hobo” its common name comes from the assumption that this spider spread to distant cities via railways.

There are hundreds of species found in the hobo spider tribe, and it’s virtually impossible to tell them apart from a photo, or sometimes, even a close look by

an expert arachnologist. The hobo was first described in 1802 by naturalist C.A. Walkenaer, under the name Aranea agrestis, in reference to its western European habitat of fields, woods and under rocks.

It was first reported in the US in 1936 by arachnologist Harriet Exline (as Tegenaria magnacava) in Seattle. There, without the widespread presence of any dominant competitors, it rapidly adapted to living in urban areas, where it became abundant and extended its range. By 1968 it had become established as far east as Spokane, and Moscow, Idaho, south to Oregon and is reported throughout California.

In the United States, the hobo spider got the reputation as a dangerous species based on a toxicology study on rabbits where lesions appeared after spiders were induced to bite the rabbits. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and other U.S. government agencies also used this same study as the basis for a report claiming that the hobo spider bite causes necrosis in humans, despite the absence of any confirmed cases.

WWW.WHITELIGHTTATTOO.COM

I can’t tell a hobo spider from our common grass spider, which cannot cause humans any medical issues, but can often scare the daylights out of anyone with an acute fear of spiders. I’ve heard the cry all too often, “LOOK! It’s a hobo spider!”

Funnel web spiders construct a silk sheeting and lie in wait, out-of-sight at the small end of the funnel for some arthropod prey to blunder onto their webs. We often find them in or around windows, in the barn, garage, or behind washing machines, my computers and book shelves.

Some people love the idea of a spider being dangerous, if not fatal upon contact, but the toxicity and aggression of the hobo spider are currently disputed by arachnologists. If a female hobo spider is tending an egg sac, it may become aggressive if it perceives a threat. However, they generally do not bite unless forced to protect themselves. I had to force a sheet web spider to bite me, and all that happened was my hand fell off…no, not really; I didn’t even swell up. SW

ADVICE GODDESS

Are We Having Funding Yet?

—Underfunded Lack of money is the root of many arguments. So, sure, the same couple are likely to be happier if the island they can afford to “winter” on is one in the middle of the South Pacific, as opposed to one in the middle of a four-lane highway.

Still, it’s a little premature to gear up for a bitter battle to divide the Top Ramen and takeout “silverware” packets. Before I explain why, in case any readers pay bills out of a coffee can buried in the backyard, your credit score is a numerical ranking (up to 800) that uses your credit repayment history to predict your credit repayment future (like whether you’re more likely to pay what you owe or, say, fake your own death).

In the study you’re referring to, economist Jane Dokko and her colleagues looked at nearly 16 years’ worth of credit scores of 12 million randomly selected U.S. consumers. They found that two people who come into a relationship with high credit scores—and scores that are relatively similar—are more likely to stay together.

People who have high credit scores tend to be conscientious sorts with a habit of meeting their obligations. But there are also sociopaths with high credit scores— perhaps because they have lucrative jobs and plenty of dough to pay the electric bill (and recognize that it’s easier to scam people if they don’t have to do their plotting by candlelight). Conversely, somebody with a lower score may have been through something catastrophic (a medical bankruptcy as opposed to a moral one).

You might also keep in mind that a study isn’t a crystal ball airing the TV show of your future; it’s merely a guess of what could happen to you based on how things went for a lot of people. Also, the key thing to note about this particular study is that credit scores are being used as a measure of trustworthiness. And, not surprisingly, a mismatch in a couple’s ethical makeup -- specifically, in how trustworthy each partner is—can prove problematic for the happily-ever-after-ness of their relationship.

However, even if your most recent rejection letter from a credit card company starts “Nice try, butthead” (a refreshing change from their usual “Thanks, but

Dunn notes that where we go wrong is in what we think will make us happy— versus what actually does. One thing we don’t anticipate is “adaptation”—how we quickly get acclimated to things we buy or are given, which means they soon stop giving us the buzz they did at first. And because our big happiness burst is right when we get something (or take the first sip or bite), Dunn writes that “frequent, small pleasures—double lattes…and high thread-count socks”—make us happier than occasional big ones (like new floors, a new car, or a new chin).

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! BEND 49

A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS BENEFITS

central oregon

And in even better news for you two, Dunn explains that experiences seem to make us happier than things. Because experiences live on in our heads as stories, they don’t succumb to adaptation the way objects do. We get renewed enjoyment remembering and talking about them—in a way we don’t by verbally bludgeoning people with the fabulousness of our $5,000 espresso machine-slash-massage chair.

And—fascinatingly—bad experiences may lead to more long-term happiness than good ones. By bad experiences, Dunn doesn’t mean screaming matches in the middle of the framing store. She’s talking about the kind you look back on and laugh about, like breaking down in some terrifying part of town, thanks to how your car is held together by duct tape, tree sap, and hope.

This brings us to what Dunn reports is “our greatest source of happiness”—other people. And it’s here that you’ve got something over the more moneyed couples.

They rarely experience the cooperative creativity and loving dedication that go into even the most mundane activities when you’re poor—like holding the antenna of your Salvation Army TV at a 47.8-degree angle for your boo: “Okay, honey—there! Don’t move! Only 18 more minutes till this episode is over!”

My girlfriend and I are both struggling artists in our early 20s. We have a lot of fun, and being poor together seems oddly bonding. But I read an article about a study that said that couples with lower credit scores and less money are less likely to stay together than those with money and good credit. Should we be worried?

we are not that stupid”), all is not bleak.

Though research finds that money actually can “buy happiness,” social psychologist Elizabeth Dunn explains in a 2011 paper that “it buys less than most people think.” In fact, she deems “the correlation between income and happiness” “modest” and “surprisingly weak.”

Portland Restaurants Come Down to Meet Housing Needs

Diners, well-loved greasy spoons and family restaurants are going the way of the dodo in Portland. The overhaul of the Pearl District from factories and warehouses to art galleries and upscale apartments began in the mid-1980s when the neighborhood was rezoned from industrial to multi-use.

Block after block still falls to demolition with no hope for the single story restaurants built in days gone by, with nearly all of the previous character of the neighborhood erased.

Objections from local residents cite concern with the change in the character of their neighborhood. The reality is that with limited resources and land, higher density construction and building up has become the recommended solution. This can be difficult for residents to accept and Portland is no different from Bend in this

Just north of the Pearl in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Pearl developer Patrick Kessi tore down an old family restaurant by the St. Johns bridge to erect Marvel 29, a 165-unit building. Within four months, the rents for the 400-square-foot studio apartments jumped from $900 to $1,300 per month.

Of all the new construction in Portland, only 411 apartment units built last year were designated for those earning below 30 percent of the area median income.

The 126-affordable apartment units and 19 market rate units being built at Oliver Station in the Lents neighborhood of Portland are going up where the Copper Penny has stood for decades. The building will be located in the outer southeast section of town, as far away from the Pearl district as possible without crossing the county line. For now, Portland has a shortage of 20,000 affordable housing units and any affordable housing is a start, even though locals will remember the ghosts of restaurants (and bars)-past for years to come.

ore than 50 percent of Oregonians spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Thus, it is not surprising that affordable housing has become a hot issue from the governor’s office to the Portland Development Commission and very much so here in Bend.

Even though more affordable housing is desperately needed in Portland and here in Bend, getting people to agree on how to solve the problem is difficult.

ASTROLOGY

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I gladly abandon dreary tasks, rational scruples, reactive undertakings imposed by the world,” wrote Scorpio philosopher Roland Barthes. Why did he do this? For the sake of love, he said—even though he knew it might cause him to act like a lunatic as it freed up tremendous energy. Would you consider pursuing a course like that in the coming weeks, Scorpio? In my astrological opinion, you have earned some time off from the grind.

You need a break from the numbing procession of the usual daily rhythms. Is there any captivating person, animal, adventure, or idea that might so thoroughly incite your imagination that you’d be open to acting like a lunatic lover with boundless vigor?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I measure the strength of a spirit by how much truth it can take,” said philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

Measured by that standard, your strength of spirit has been growing–and may be poised to reach an all-time high. In my estimation, you now have an unusually expansive capacity to hold surprising, effervescent, catalytic truths.

Do you dare invite all these insights and revelations to come pouring toward you? I hope so. I’ll be cheering you on, praying for you to be brave enough to ask for as much as you can possibly accommodate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Difficulties

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Göbekli Tepe was

up, I want to be a little boy,” wrote novelist Joseph Heller in his book “Something Happened.” You have cosmic permission to make a comparable declaration in the coming days.

In fact, you have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to utter battle cries like that as often as the mood strikes. Feel free to embellish and improvise, as well: “When I grow up, I want to be a riot girl with a big brash attitude,” for example, or “When I grow up, I want to be a beautiful playful monster with lots of toys and fascinating friends who constantly amaze me.”

a monumental religious sanctuary built 11,600 years ago in the place we now call Turkey.

Modern archaeologists are confounded by the skill and artistry with which its massive stone pillars were arranged and carved. According to conventional wisdom, humans of that era were primitive nomads who hunted animals and foraged for plants. So it’s hard to understand how they could have constructed such an impressive structure 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Writing in “National Geographic,” science journalist Charles C. Mann said, “Discovering that hunter-gatherers had constructed Göbekli Tepe was like finding that someone had built a 747 in a basement with an X-Acto knife.” In that spirit, Cancerian, I make the following prediction: In the coming months, you can accomplish a marvel that may have seemed beyond your capacity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In myths and folklore, the ember is a symbol of coiled-up power. The fire within it is controlled. It provides warmth and glow even as its raw force is contained.

There are no unruly flames. How much energy is stored within? It’s a reservoir of untapped light, a promise of verve and radiance. Now please ruminate further about the ember, Leo. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s your core motif right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Uh-oh. Or maybe I should instead say “Hooray!” You are slipping into the Raw Hearty Vivid Untamed Phase of your astrological cycle. The universe is nudging you in the direction of high adventure, sweet intensity, and rigorous stimulation. If you choose to resist the nudges, odds are that you’ll have more of an “uh-oh” experience. If you decide to play along, “hooray!” is the likely outcome. To help you get in the proper mood, make the following declaration: “I like to think that my bones are made from oak, my blood from a waterfall, and my heart from wild daisies.” (That’s a quote from the poet McKenzie Stauffer.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In many cultures, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation and rebirth. In its original state as a caterpillar, it is homely and slow-moving. After its resurrection time in the chrysalis, it becomes a lithe and lovely creature capable of flight. The mythic meaning of the moth is quite different, however.

Enchanted by the flame, it’s driven so strongly toward the light that it risks burning its wings.

So it’s a symbol of intense longing that may go too far. In the coming weeks, Libra, your life could turn either way. You may even vacillate between being moth-like and butterfly-like. For best results, set an intention. What exactly do you want?

illuminate existence,” says novelist Tom Robbins, “but they must be fresh and of high quality.” Your assignment, Sagittarius, is to go out in search of the freshest and highest-quality difficulties you can track down. You’re slipping into a magical phase of your astrological cycle when you will have exceptional skill at rounding up useful dilemmas and exciting riddles. Please take full advantage! Welcome this rich opportunity to outgrow and escape boring old problems.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “When I grow

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): In one of his diaries, author Franz Kafka made this declaration: “Life’s splendor forever lies in wait around each one of us in all of its fullness -but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.” I’m bringing this promise to your attention, Aquarius, because you have more power than usual to call forth a command performance of life’s hidden splendor. You can coax it to the surface and bid it to spill over into your daily rhythm. For best results, be magnificent as you invoke the magnificence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve got a controversial message for you, Pisces. If you’re addicted to your problems or if you’re convinced that cynicism is a supreme mark of intelligence, what I’ll say may be offensive. Nevertheless, it’s my duty as your oracle to inform you of the cosmic tendencies, and so I will proceed. For the sake of your mental health and the future of your relationship with love, consider the possibility that the following counsel from French author André Gide is just what you need to hear right now: “Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The writer should never be ashamed of staring,” said Aries writer Flannery O’Connor. “There is nothing that does not require his attention.” This is also true for all of you Aries folks, not just the writers among you. And the coming weeks will be an especially important time for you to cultivate a piercing gaze that sees deeply and shrewdly. You will thrive to the degree that you notice details you might normally miss or regard as unimportant.

What you believe and what you think won’t be as important as what you perceive. Trust your eyes.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 16 / April 21, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The ancient Greek geographer Pausanias told a story about how the famous poet Pindar got his start. One summer day, young Pindar decided to walk from his home in Thebes to a city 20 miles away. During his trek, he got tired and lay down to take a nap by the side of the road. As he slept, bees swarmed around him and coated his lips with wax. He didn’t wake up until one of the bees stung him. For anyone else, this might have been a bother. But Pindar took it as an omen that he should become a lyric poet, a composer of honeyed verses. And that’s exactly what he did in the ensuing years. I foresee you having an experience comparable to Pindar’s sometime soon, Taurus. How you interpret it will be crucial.

n April 15, Oregon’s U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer and 24 other members of Congress urged President Obama to remove barriers to research on medical marijuana. This would facilitate new medical research on cannabis and its derivatives that has not been possible in the U.S. under current federal law enforced by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

For years, medical marijuana advocates have been telling physicians, politicians, and anyone else who will listen about people whose epileptic seizures were effectively controlled by cannabis. GW Pharmaceuticals, a British biopharmaceutical company, is completing its Phase 3 trials for its cannabis-based epilepsy treatment drug, Epidiolex. It is also known for its multiple sclerosis treatment drug Sativex, which was the first cannabis derivative to gain market approval when it went on sale in the UK in 2010. Sativex has regulatory approval in more than 20 countries, but not the United States.

In the letter to President Obama, the senators and representatives cited the need for modern scientific research in the U.S.: “Twenty-three states have passed laws establishing medical cannabis programs and an additional seventeen have passed laws regarding the medical use of cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from cannabis,” they wrote. “Despite these developments, re-

searchers, doctors, and patients in these forty states are still subject to federal barriers impeding innovation and medical research. Until we have comprehensive scientific research on the medical risks and benefits of cannabis and its derivatives, we will continue to debate this issue on the basis of outdated ideology instead of modern science.”

The letter specifically requests that President Obama direct the DEA to conduct a fair and transparent review of Schedule I restrictions on medical cannabis, citing the lack of scientific evaluation for its classification. Secondly, the letter bids the President to end the DEA-mandated monopoly held by the University of Mississippi, holding the sole contract to research the drug from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

GW Pharmaceuticals in the U.K. was founded in 1998 to profit from the medical benefits of cannabis by creating drugs that use the various ingredients of cannabis without producing the “high” of consuming cannabis itself. The company explains that cannabinoids interact with important neurotransmitter/neuromodulatory systems and consequently have far-reaching promise in diverse therapeutic areas. Following the trials, GW Pharmaceuticals plans to meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to work toward approval of its drug Epidiolex to treat epilepsy in the U.S. SW
