ENDORSEMENTS Ted Schoenborn

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 27, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

4

Bend Park and Recreation Director Zone 4 The race for Bend Park and Recreation District Director Zone 4 boasts a colorful cast of candidates, including an incumbent board member, a COCC director, a self-professed advocate for the cannabis and homeless communities, and a contender who currently sits in Deschutes County Jail.

Incumbent Ted Schoenborn has served on the board for 14 years and brings a wealth of experience to the board. Having seen our area grow immensely since the early 2000s, he acknowledges the pressure the increased population has put on trails, recreational centers and senior services, and supports the idea of expanding the Bend Senior Center/Larkspur Center to serve the wider community. He has overseen the expansion of 20 miles of trails and maintenance of more than 40 parks—all, he claims, within budget. His hope is to see the entire completion of the Deschutes River Trail, where currently, some nearby residents are protesting the inclusion of a footbridge. Schoenborn is emphatic that the trail adds value for both recreation and alternative transport, for both locals and tourists.

Justin Gottlieb, who ran for the board in 2013, is less enthusiastic about the trail’s completion and rejects the idea that the trail would be used for transport. The Officemax employee, who does not own a vehicle and is a self-proclaimed advocate for the “low-income, cannabis and homeless communities” knows first-hand the

woes of public transport, and says he would be the “First park director to have actually lived in Bend’s parks.”

He advocates for a viable east-west active transport corridor and has some innovative ideas, such as a transportation incentive program which would see those who hold a monthly Cascade East Transit pass able to qualify for discounts at community centers.

Laura Boehme is the current Director of Information Technology at COCC and supports the expansion of the Bend Senior Center into the Larkspur Center for a more inclusive community offering. The mother of four’s viewpoint on the Deschutes footbridge isn’t decisive, yet she worries that the residents aren’t being heard and supports their legal actions.

“Listening to all” is her key campaign promise and she shares the view that perhaps Schoenborn has staled in his abilities to listen to all of the community’s needs.

The fourth candidate, Ronald “Rondo” Boozell, a usually outspoken and eccentric candidate, cannot be earnestly considered as he is currently serving time in the Deschutes County Jail for contempt of court charges.

Although we welcome the fresh perspective the other candidates bring to the table, we cannot dispute the value an experienced board member brings in a time that will see increasingly complex problems arising.

We commend Boehme’s enthusiasm to be attentive to a widespread demographic. However, that may lend itself to be influenced too easily. Gottlieb’s field of vision is too narrow-sighted, and his distaste for The Pavilion because of his “dislike for ice” doesn’t demonstrate a willingness to serve the desires of the community. Although low-income representation is needed,

Gottlieb sums it up perfectly when he states that he is “more aspirational” while Schoenborn is more “nuts and bolts.” With complex problems, increased population and pressure, we need a director who has a firm grasp and insight of the past, current and future issues the community faces.

Vote Ted Schoenborn for Bend Park and Recreation Director Zone 4.

Vote Yes on the Bend-La Pine Schools Bond It’s no secret that Bend (and La Pine, too) is poised for more population growth in the years to come. If the explosive population growth we’ve seen already isn’t enough to convince, then data from Portland State University’s Population Research Center might suffice. According to that data, the Bend-La Pine district is going to need four new elementary schools, one middle school and one new high school by the year 2035, just to manage enrollment at its current levels. But walk into nearly any classroom in the district today and you’ll already see overcrowding. In the case of our high schools, that sometimes means as many as 50+ students in a room at one time, teachers tell us.

It doesn’t take a team of population experts to tell you that new schools are necessary, and that they’re going to cost money. In fact, we venture to say the proposed school bond—which we fully support—is not enough to fully fund the necessary facilities the region will need during this time of great population growth. And let’s not get started on where the money for paying staff for that growing student population is coming from.

Meanwhile, the schools we already

do have—most notably, some of the older schools in the district—are in need of upgrades to electrical wiring, roofs, plumbing, heating and cooling systems. With upgrades to HVAC and lighting systems, schools may even be able to shave some dollars from their operating budgets.

District officials don’t have specific figures, but estimate energy savings in the “tens of thousands”—money saved, which could arrive back in the operational budget.

Some of those upgrades may have seemed less acutely important before we saw the roof of the Kenwood School gym collapse, but today, seem to us like absolute musts in the interest of student safety. While we urge the district to be vigilant in its attention to the connection between facility safety and student success, we know they can only do so much within current budgetary constraints.

The bond, at $268.3 million, would add .44 cents per $1,000 of taxable value to property tax rates over the life of the bond, amounting to roughly $7 per month for a home valued at $200,000.

It’s a big price tag—but one that comes with the promise of auditing along the way.

Since Oregon’s school funding model doesn’t offer funds for new construction from the state coffers, it falls upon local people to fund the construction of local schools. In short, this bond is currently the only viable way to ensure our students have the facilities they desperately need. Vote yes for the Bend-La Pine Schools 2017 Bond Measure. SW

IN RESPONSE TO, WHY DO WE CELEBRATE (4/20)

IN RESPONSE TO, RESPECTING WILDLIFE (4/20) The bovine monoculture strikes again! I don’t understand how cattle ranchers and fur trappers are allowed to torture wildlife and pets indiscriminately with their exploding cyanide and steel traps, and I also don’t understand how these eco-paths can sleep guilt-free.

How did the indiscriminate maiming and killing of animals without the slightest remorse become a defining quality of “manhood” in these violent and myopic copyrighted 2017

Mild Abandon

“I was on a date, this one time, and her face was like, only a regular amount symmetrical.”

E.J. Pettinger’s

subcultures? Was the empathy for animals that comes naturally to children eradicated by fathers who equated empathy with sissiness? “Son, to be a real man you’ve not only got to not show emotion, you’ve got to not feel emotion.” And even worse, how did such indiscriminate slaughter of wildlife and pets become supported by laws codified by our mainstream culture and sometimes paid for with our tax dollars?

Wildlife traps demonstrate their viciousness by their indiscriminate choice of victims and the horrifying pain and fear which they cause. We should not consider our society civilized until these despicable devices are outlawed. Our laws and religions try to assure us that such devices are not immoral or evil, but such a cultural mindset is psychological denial on a societal scale because these vicious traps are the very definition of “immoral” and “evil.”

If you like wildlife and would rather it not be eliminated, or if you would rather not put your dog at risk by merely hiking in the forest or desert, then please don’t buy animal furs and consider eating a few less burgers.

IN RESPONSE TO, SAYING GOODBYE TO MAZZA BISTRO AND DEVORE’S (4/20) This is just too sad. A viable, beloved small business gets their rent jacked up beyond their profit levels. I’m all for free market, I get it, rents go up as demand goes up, but...... The new tenant better be ready for the same respect, or lack of.

— Karen Kellogg, via facebook.com

This is so sad to see. Why aren’t the city council putting caps on rentals, for businesses and for housing? There is something very wrong about raising rents so high that no one can pay it, forcing out the small on purpose, just for more income. Come on elected officials, this needs to stop!

bill now before the Oregon House—HB2027—would imperil planned expansion of the Deschutes River Trail by prohibiting the development of a proposed pedestrian and bike bridge across the Deschutes River in this area; more importantly, it would pre-empt public engagement processes. Our community has enjoyed the Deschutes River Trail for decades. On any day, you can find runners, walkers, cyclists, bird watchers, dog walkers, anglers, and water enthusiasts sharing the trail and soaking up the natural experience.

Being in nature improves one’s health and feeds the soul. Central Oregon is fortunate to have hundreds of miles of public trails in the area; however, there is something special about local trails in town that connect neighbors and open opportunities for non-motorized transportation. Health, community, and environmental benefits are among the significant public goods of the Deschutes River Trail, but they are in jeopardy if this current state legislation moves forward.

Connecting the Deschutes River Trail to the U.S. Forest Service land on the south boundary of Bend has been envisioned by the community for decades. This goal is referenced in several public planning documents, including the Bend Park and Recreation District’s Trails Master Plan, the City of Bend’s Transportation System Plan, the Deschutes River Trail Action Plan, and the Bend Riverway Community Vision. Voters in Bend approved a bond-funded project in 2012 to eventually connect the communities of Tumalo and Sunriver via the Deschutes River Trail, and a 2014 questionnaire of surrounding neighborhoods found that 88 percent of respondents would use the trail and bridge if it were built.

Oregon State Parks regulates “Scenic Waterways” across the state, including a specific segment of the Deschutes River from the Central Oregon Irrigation intake upstream into the Deschutes National Forest.

The Bend Parks and Recreation District would like to consider a possible bridge in the reach of the Deschutes River just outside Bend city limits as a key last piece of the Deschutes River Trail. The easy sections of the trail are complete, but the few remaining sections to complete the route from Sunriver to Tumalo are complex.

Our community’s use of the Deschutes River Trail reminds me of the situation on the Oregon Coast when, in 1967, Oregonians committed to providing public access along the coast. The same concept of connectivity and public access along the remaining areas of the Deschutes River Trail deserves a conversation with all stakeholders before options are prematurely foreclosed. Now is the time to voice your opinions to our elected officials about the value of the Deschutes River Trail and what preserving public access to it means to the community.

The District has a reputation of well-designed and maintained trails throughout the community and is committed to balancing public access and protection of our natural resources. We are dedicated to public engagement and would continue to seek community involvement and address concerns if a project is possible in the future. Our preference is always to negotiate and work together on solutions.

Working together to find a way to finish the Deschutes River Trail will bring lasting benefits to our community. SW

As Child Abuse Prevention Month wraps up, the need for consistent funding for vulnerable populations continues

By Judy Stiegler Jefferson Counties) director of the Department of Human Services, there were over 3,600 calls to the child abuse hotline in the tri-counties in 2016.

There are 20 Child Protective Service (CPS) workers in the tri-county area charged with investigating these reports. For the same year, there were 307 children in protective care. Currently, Child Welfare is staffed at 82 percent, with 51 percent of caseworkers having less than 18 months’ experience, and supervisory staff averaging three to four years of experience. This places stress on the system in multiple ways. Often, it means relegating casework to crisis management rather than to delivering services.

In Central Oregon, a cadre of community partners works on solutions, seeing child abuse and neglect as a community issue, and understanding that prevention can come through intervention. These are organizations—often dependent on volunteer support—that provide services including comprehensive medical and therapeutic evaluations, therapy and counseling services, various services for vulnerable and distressed families, emergency housing and services for victims of domestic violence, advocacy for dependent children in the court system, and community trainings in the area of child abuse and neglect.

Organizations include KIDS Center, Mountain Star Relief Nursery, Family Resource Center, Healthy Beginnings, the CASA program, FAN, Saving Grace, Mary’s Place and many more.

is a crucial part of raising community awareness. The Darkness to Light training offered by KIDS Center is an example of a program aimed at providing training for this very purpose. Shelly Smith, executive director of KIDS Center, says they reached their goal of training 5 percent of the adult population in the tri-counties in Central Oregon at the end of 2016. Utilizing programs such as this go beyond harnessing the good will of a community, and instead engage the community in the nuts and bolts of protecting kids.

As Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel explained when discussing his office’s role in prosecuting such cases, there’s often a tension between the issue of accountability and what is in the best interests

of the child. He went on to express that these are often the most difficult cases his office prosecutes, and can have a lasting impact on prosecutors.

Some point to what they refer to as a “failed system,” implying that those involved with trying to protect the community’s vulnerable children have dropped the ball. In reality, those involved say they have not lacked purpose, but rather lacked full capacity and resources to do the job.

As Child Abuse Prevention month ends this month, advocates remind you to wear your blue ribbon, but also think about how you can get involved.

They recommend volunteering, taking a Darkness to Light training, or participating in a community conversation, such as Spark. SW

She has spoken to the issue of increasing funding for these services—and last week, put a state hiring freeze in effect. During an interview with the Source Weekly last week, she told us the hiring freeze was aimed, at least in part, toward finding the money for critical services for children and families.

Central Oregon’s summer tourism season is nearly upon us, and with it, the influx of many visitors. Before that happens, we take a look inward, at the local culture and the definition of “local.”

BY CHRISTIAN TREJBAL

S

oon, tens of thousands of visitors will begin their summer ramblings in Central Oregon. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of locals will grumble about the traffic, the lines at restaurants and the crowds. They’ll grumble, too, that some of these visitors will like Bend so much that they’ll decide to move here.

“Newcomers aren’t real locals,” the “real” locals will say. “They’re transplants who bring foreign ideas that shouldn’t count, at least not as much.”

That popular view comes up every time a Bend resident complains about a Californian’s driving or the line at a favorite restaurant. You were born here? You’re a local. Lived here through a recession or two? You’ve earned your local badge. Settled down in just the last couple of years? You’re something else.

You’re a resident, but you’re no local.

“Too often the term ‘local’ has been put out as an exclusionary term rather than an inclusionary one,” said Bend City Councilor Bruce Abernethy, who moved to town in 1993.

Newcomers notice it. Becca Tatum moved to Bend a couple of years ago from the New York City area. She and her husband wanted to move their then one-year-old daughter to the West. When a job aligned, they fell in love with Bend. It wasn’t long before they started to sense the pushback from locals.

“I can’t name any particular moment of hostility, but it’s out there,” she said. “It shows up on bumper stickers that say, ‘Bend Sucks, Don’t Move Here.’ ” Like Schrödinger’s Cat that is both alive and dead, Tatum is both local and foreign. “I’m really hesitant to say that (I’m a local) around town. It’s not necessarily respectful to folks who have lived here much longer,” she said.

“But if I’m talking to family back east, I’m a local. We live in Bend; this is our home.”

Rick Olegario, a candidate for the Bend-La Pine School Board, moved to town in 2014 and his experience has been similar. “You definitely hear

about hostility to newcomers, but I’ve never personally experienced it,” he said.

LOCAL IS PERSONAL The problem with broad characterizations of the zeitgeist is that they often do not reflect what people think individually. Ask one person what it means to be local, and they’re not so harsh. The popular perception is not the personal reality.

Kaylin Landry’s family moved to Bend more than 20 years ago.

“When I first moved here as a 10-year-old, people were really mean, like bully mean, because I was from California. Kids had already taken on that aggressive behavior toward Californians that their parents had,” she said. Now she’s a third-year student at OSU-Cascades. Her experience as a newcomer and as a social observer led her to look more closely at the question of what it means to be a local for a class project.

respect and meaning back to the people and landscape around you, maybe you become local that way. Like a friendship that evolves over time.

Co-dependency on place, in the best possible way,” she explained.

That fit with Landry’s perspective after her research. “I’ve lived here, I’ve loved here, I’ve lost here, I’ve hated it here, but I’m still here. I’m still active in the community and want to see it grow in a way that is accepting of people. That’s my definition of being local,” she said. “My life is so much better because I live here. Who am I to take that away from other people?

“The thing that scares me is that by defining local in a way that excludes people, we aren’t allowing ourselves to grow with the possibilities we have in our own community.” She added. “I would like to see us move away from that attitude. It’s not a very nice attitude.”

“Whether it’s 75 years or 75 days, if this is the place someone decides to call home, they’re a local.”

—

Alana Hughson “People weren’t as aggressive about their opinions one-on-one as much as they are on the street,” she said.

“There was no single definition. I heard date ranges from five to 10 years, to you had to be born here. But other people said that being here and caring about and participating in the community is what defined being a local.”

Landry’s instructor, Elizabeth Marino of the OSU-Cascades Social Science and Sustainability programs, said that one way to think about what it means to be a local is as a relationship between a person and a place.

THE NEW LOCALS More people move to Bend and Central Oregon every day, and they don’t all come from California.

The Internal Revenue Service tracks people moving from county to county based on tax returns. While it’s true that more people come to Deschutes County from out of Oregon than within, it’s not by much.

From 2010 to 2015 (the most recent tax years available), about 41,000 people moved to Deschutes County. Forty-three percent of them moved from other counties in Oregon; 54 percent came from another state; and 3 percent came from outside the United States.

With regard to specific counties

of origin, however, it’s not even close.

The top seven are all in Oregon. Multnomah, Lane and Washington counties lead the way, each sending more than 2,000 people to Deschutes County over the five years.

U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey found that the most common type of newcomer is a single male, younger than the average Bend resident by about eight years, and more likely to have a college degree or higher.

Alana Hughson, Central Oregon Visitors Association (COVA) CEO, believes these qualities are good for Bend. “The people who relocate here are bringing jobs and businesses and adding to the quality of life for everyone in the community,” she said.

Meanwhile, Visit Bend, the organization tasked with developing and building Bend’s tourism industry, launched a “Like a Local” campaign last year, encouraging visitors and newcomers to “Visit Bend Like a Local,” by following “leave no trace” ethics, smiling at strangers and picking up litter on trails, to start.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A LOCAL City Councilor Abernethy agrees with the idea of localness as a relationship with the community. “A local is someone who has the long-term interest of the community as a whole, not just their own personal needs, in mind,” he said. “It’s someone who is both proud of and a cheerleader for their community. That’s not to say you can’t ever be critical or wish some things were different.”

He also differentiates between being “native” and being “local.” The former is by accident of birth. The latter is something anyone can become.

Hughson offered a similar view, “Anyone who decides to make this place their home is doing so because they love it, they want to be part of this community. Whether it’s 75 years or 75 days, if this is the place someone decides to call home, they’re a local.”

company Five Talent, even claimed that some longtime residents are less local than newcomers. “It’s not how long you’ve been here but how invested you are in Bend,” he said. “Anyone is local who really cares about Bend.

There are plenty of people who have been here a long time but don’t care about Bend.”

The local relationship is an active one, he says.

“If you hide in your home and no one sees you and you don’t get engaged, if all you do is play golf and go to Tower Theatre events, you’re a recluse, not a local,” Callicott said.

“Local is embracing Bend as it is evolving, not setting yourself on the sidelines with the expectations you had 15 or 20 years ago.”

Troy Reinhart, candidate for the same school board seat as Olegario, offered a similar assessment, “Being a local is being involved in your community and showing your love for it by working to make it a better place than you found it.” (The third candidate for the open school board seat is Bend native Carrie Douglass.)

Olegario suggested that people who move to Bend embrace its culture because that culture is what drew them here in the first place.

THE CLASS OF 1980 Reinhart’s candidate profile notes not just that he is a Bend High School graduate, but also that he is a member of the class of 1980.

If you talk to people tracking local politics and events, eventually you’ll hear about the class of 1980. An unusually high number of graduates from Bend and Mountain View high schools that year are among Bend’s movers and shakers today. They’re a group that COVA’s Hughson, herself a member of the class, lovingly calls “The Circle of Trouble.”

“We were a tight, connected class, and I admire every one of them,” she said.

The class of 1980 includes Hughson; Reinhart; Charley Miller, president

of Miller Lumber; Todd Taylor, CEO of Taylor NW; Peter Carlson, president of Carlson Sign; Scott Wallace, former member of the Bend Park and Recreation District Board; Sean Corrigan, assistant principal at Mountain View; Kyle Frick, candidate for the Central Oregon Community College Board; Scott Steele, president of Steele Associates Architects; and Courtney MacMillan, local philanthropist and nonprofit leader.

The early 1980s were a tough time in Bend, a low point for the local economy. Many members of the class of 1980 left town to go to college, but they didn’t stay away. Their returns helped keep Bend from becoming a ghost town.

“We were raised to come back to our community and to be leaders,” Reinhart said.

Miller said the recession shaped the class. “Those who understand what the other side looks like are committed to helping Bend grown and thrive. It’s in your DNA,” he said.

“They’re an example of a group that I was skeptical of when I first was elected,” Councilor Abernethy says, citing issues of growth and development as places where they differ.

“I don’t agree with them on everything, but I have come to appreciate the role that they play investing in this community.”

The Class of 1980 engages with the community and has a relationship with this place. So do the tens of thousands of people who have moved here in the decades since that group graduated from high school.

“What makes living in Central Oregon so doggone special is that this place attracts wonderful people,” Hughson said. “People who are drawn here share a desire to be part of the community, take care of the community and be good stewards of the community.”

So who counts as local? That’s not something others decide for you. SW

SOUND Where Folk, Blues and Country Converge Son Volt’s latest album pays tribute to American roots music

By Anne Pick southern and eastern legs of their tour and is now headed west. An extensive touring schedule allows them to work on their craft and continue the evolution of their songs.

“The essence of the craft is when you’re on stage and you have to produce,” Farrar says. “There is that element to (playing live.) Another element that I think is great about taking songs out on the road is that you can change things from the way they are on the recording. The songs tend to evolve over time and playing them on the road is a healthy endeavor.”

With a wide-ranging and extensive catalog of music, what can concertgoers expect to hear during this leg of Son Volt’s tour?

“The set list is comprised of a handful of, or almost half of the songs off of ‘Notes of Blue,’” Farrar says.

“From there it’s fairly representative of the whole catalog, maybe not every record is represented by a song, but we tried to pull a song from each time period going all the way back to Uncle Tupelo.”

During the course of his lengthy career, Farrar and Son Volt have made Bend a regular stop on their

n its latest album, “Notes of Blue,” Son Volt lead singer Jay Farrar gives a big nod to the heroes and icons of American blues music.

“It’s aiming for where folk and blues and county converge,” Farrar says. “There was the realization that blues were such an important part of early country music. Guys like Hank Williams and Jimmy Rogers, they were very much steeped in American blues music.”

Where Son Volt’s previous albums had a more alt-country focus, that recognition served as a sort of catalyst for Farrar to dig a bit deeper and learn some blues tunings by musicians he estimates to be the figures of American blues—guys such as Mississippi Fred McDowell and Skip James. He’s created blues-influenced songs over the years, but this gave Farrar the chance to focus a bit more on classic styles.

“You know, one of the aspects of recording ‘Notes of Blue’ (what) I wanted to focus on was playing more electric guitar. That meant pulling out an old amplifier that I used on the very first Son Volt album, ‘Trace,’” Farrar says.

Son Volt recently wrapped up the

Signal Bath releases debut E.P. with a party at The Capitol

By Anne Pick

I

f the name Signal Bath doesn’t ring a bell, then maybe you’ve heard of Shane Thomas—who’s made a name for himself as part of Bend’s gone-but-not-forgotten experimental, instrumental rock band Empty Space Orchestra. Now, Thomas, the brains behind Beat Lab Radio, debuts his electronic solo E.P. “Queen of the Night,” under the Signal Bath moniker.

Signal Bath worked on the album for the past year and a half and shows no signs of slowing down

Jay Tablet

after the release. Born from the desire to create something that was just his own, “Queen of the Night” combines both analog and digital techniques to create a lush soundscape.

“For the most part, everything starts out just messing around on guitar and then I loop a lot of things and I’ll use a lot of delay and reverb effects,” Thomas says. “Eventually I’ll have this mishmash, wall-ofsound kind of loop going on and I’ll record that

into Ableton. That’s where the digital meets analog.”

Ableton, a digital music production software, allows Thomas to do whatever he wants as far as composition and manipulation go. He starts with an easy guitar or synth loop that may be taken out of the song later.

Next, he taps out a drum beat and bass line around it. The songs evolve from there. Sometime he’ll hate it for a week and then listen to it more and begin to fall in love with it again, he says.

Signal Bath’s album name has an interesting backstory. After quitting his job at a local dispensary, Thomas trimmed weed at a “reefer camp.”

While he was there, he listened to an audio book called “The Botany of Desire” a number of times. The book discusses different plants that have made a co-evolutionary bond with humanity in order to help themselves survive.

The Queen of the Night was the name 17th century France gave to the black tulip, as it was a very

sought-after, valuable item of affection. While most flowers grow bright to attract pollination, the black flower survived because it appealed to a certain human desire—a desire for beauty.

“That’s kind of what I see in my music sometimes,” Thomas says. “A lot of the things that spark what I feel like is going to be a good song is just a little anomaly in a loop that I didn’t really intend to be there and it excites me.

I feel like it’s a little bit of a parallel there, the way the flower is a mistake and the way the music is a mistake, but it appeals to the human desire of beauty.”

“Queen of the Night” will be available on iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp and Soundcloud May 2. SW Signal Bath E.P. Release Party Support from Hakuu and Lazouli Friday April 28, 10pm The Capitol 190 NW Oregon Ave., Bend $5

A Month to Remember

Charlie Rucker

Deschutes County History on Display in May Seems like we’re always looking ahead in Central Oregon. The next festival.

The next brewery. The next town hall even. But our focus is about to change.

Time to look back, at least for a month.

In May, several local groups, including the Deschutes County Historical Society, will mark National Historic Preservation Month by celebrating all that came before. The theme is “This Place Matters.”

“Historic preservation provides a foundation for our shared heritage,” says Deschutes Historical Museum Director Kelly Cannon-Miller.

“There’s an authenticity of place in communities that value their heritage and historic properties. That authenticity is the legacy we leave for the

next generation.”

And speaking of history, kudos to the Deschutes Public Library and the Deschutes Historical Museum, for their 2017 Oregon Heritage Excellence Award for the preservation of 40 interviews with early Central Oregon pioneers—recorded in 1953. Check them out by searching “15 minute history” at deschuteslibrary.org.

Retro Redmond Among the events in Redmond is a photo contest. Specifically, the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission is seeking pictures of Redmond bungalows which are more than 50 years old. Styles include Craftsman, Mission, Tudor, Cape Cod and Moderne architecture.

Winners will be announced during a Preservation Month celebration in Centennial Park.

Why bungalows? “They represent a

significant period in local history,” says Redmond Historic Landmarks Commissioner Shannon Farnsworth Rose.

“It’s when the first settlers were actually moving out of their canvas tent homes to newly built permanent housing. These homes were built despite the struggles of the times, including World Wars and the Depression.”

Rose finds an inherent value in preserving the character of a city. “This is a chance to save our neighborhoods’ aesthetic and enhance the value of the community,” she says. “Our historic buildings and homes give us sense of connection.

“We continue to learn from past generations.” SW Celebrate Historic Preservation Month Centennial Park 725 SW Evergreen Ave., Redmond Sat., May 13 10am – 2pm

Nancy Blankenship, Deschutes County Clerk A job title that means serving locals, all day, every day

— Nancy Blankenship rd

Si tts

By Richard Sitts

ch Ri

A

t some time or another, most people in Deschutes County end up going to the County Clerk’s office to take care of official business. And of course, doing that “official” business in the county may just qualify you for that coveted “local” status.

Regardless of your place of origin, Deschutes County Clerk Nancy Blankenship will welcome you like a local when you find your way to her second story office that looks out over the Parkway.

The duties of a county clerk include maintaining county records such as marriage licenses and deeds, and overseeing elections.

“I get to work with some wonderful people in this office,” Blankenship says. “They do great work. They are very dedicated and focused on customer service, which is one of our primary goals. The workers out on the front desks love to help people.” The office is small enough that she can still be a “working clerk,” she says, splitting up duties with Elections Supervisor Barb Hagen.

Blankenship says the job of overseeing elections takes up the biggest chunk of her time, “because we’re always preparing,” she says. That task

includes voter registration and creating ballots and voter pamphlets.

Deschutes County is one of the few counties in the state that puts out a voter pamphlet for every election, says Blankenship. The office also just purchased a new ballot tabulation system to replace the old optical scanning method with digital scanning.

Oregon began testing vote by mail in the early 1980s, and in 2000 became the first state in the nation to go to complete voting by mail, according to Blankenship.

“We’ve had very good success with vote by mail. It’s cut down on our expenses, and we’re always in the top three to four states in voter turnout,” she says.

Also, Deschutes County became the first county in the state, in the late 1990s, to offer free access to real property records online. This helps reduce foot traffic into the office and lets people do their own records research online.

Blankenship is a third generation Oregonian and grew up in Central Oregon. Before being elected county clerk in 2003, she worked for the city of Redmond for 16 years as the city recorder. Her husband of 37 years,

SOURCE SUGGESTS THIS BOOK Before you stroll the streets on First Fridays in downtown Bend, check out this monthly review featuring reading recommendations courtesy of the Source and Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe.

Then head down to the shop for a discount!

For the Locals Issue, we asked one Oregon author, Ruth Tenzer Feldman (“Blue Thread,” “The Ninth Day,” and “Seven Stitches”), to review the latest work from another local author, Amber J. Keyser (“The Way Back From Broken,” “The V-Word”).

“Pointe, Claw”

by Amber J. Keyser Amber J. Keyser’s latest novel for older teens and adults turns the pas de deux of classical ballet inside out with a ferocity that demands focus on every step—and every misstep—in this compelling story. By turns fierce and bold, brave and tender, “Pointe, Claw” introduces us to two childhood friends who were wrenched apart years earlier and are now re-entering each other’s lives.

Jessie, who tortures her body with the demands of ballet, is caught up in

a

Mike, grew up in Bend, and the two live in Redmond with their Yorkshire terrier, Casey.

Blankenship first took office in January 2003, following longtime County Clerk Susie Penhollow. “Luckily, no one ran against me,” she quips. Since then, she has been re-elected three times. Her current term expires in January 2019. Blankenship says she still loves the job and plans to run again when the time comes.

“The hard part about this job is that you have to run for office. That’s probably my least favorite part of the job,” Blankenship says. “The great thing about it, it’s always ever-changing and keeps you on your toes.” This is because the laws always change, she says. “That’s the fun part, always trying to make improvements to benefit the office and the public.”

Blankenship has even made house calls to help make sure people get registered to vote. She recalls going to an address in a new apartment complex on the east side of town to make sure the resident was able to vote.

“People really appreciate that help.

I just wanted to help the voter. That’s

when you get the joy out of the job, when you get to help the people. That just brings a lot of joy and satisfaction.”

Since August 2016, Blankenship has also been the president of the Oregon Association of County Clerks.

She worked herself up through the organization as secretary, treasurer and vice president. “You learn a lot.

There’s just the extra work to perform those duties,” she says, adding that the responsibility brings more work, which she welcomes.

Blankenship says all county residents, no matter how long they’ve lived here, have a standing invitation to stop in at the clerk’s office and observe its workings, especially the closer we get to election time.

“I really think it’s important for people to come in and observe,” Blankenship says. Various school groups come into the office, “and we encourage them to participate and show them the process. That’s the fun thing, to share what we’re doing so that people feel comfortable with elections in Deschutes County.” SW

By Ruth Tenzer Feldman an animalistic production that shatters her self-image and threatens to unravel her dreams to become a professional ballerina. Dawn, a gifted student in science, faces unexplained episodes of “going dark” as her mind and body progressively blur the line between human and beast. Neither girl finds safety in our domesticated, body-conscious culture.

What does it take for Jessie and Dawn to heal what’s fractured? Does either of them have the courage to craft, in the words of poet Mary Oliver, her “one wild and precious life?” Will they go it alone or together? And at what cost? Keyser’s choreography will keep you swirling until the last satisfying paragraph.

About the author: In addition to “Pointe, Claw,” Amber J. Keyser is the author of “The Way Back” from Broken (Carolrhoda Lab 2015), a heart-wrenching novel of loss and survival, and “The V-Word” (Beyond Words/Simon Pulse, 2016), an anthology of personal essays by women about first-time sexual experiences, among numerous other titles. Find out more at www.amberjkeyser.com.

About the reviewer: Ruth Tenzer Feldman is the author of three young adult novels, “Blue Thread,” “The Ninth Day,” and “Seven Stitches,” as well as many works of history for teens. She lives and writes in Oregon.

Locals’ Nights

Want to go where everyone knows your name? Start with these spots.

LITTLE BITES

By Caitlin Richmond

MONDAY

TUESDAY

If the start of the week was unkind to you, there are two options to help you recover.

Double dip at Bend Brewing Company and hit their happy hour for your meal and get a cheap beer at the same time.

Happy hour runs from 4 pm to 6 pm, and all appetizers are half off. Beers are $3 from 4 pm to close.

Meanwhile, Immersion Brewing offers $1 off all pints all day.

• Deschutes Brewery, the oldest brewery in Bend, offers a discount on their beers and select burgers.

• At Silver Moon Brewing, get $1.50 off pints and you can order “two beefy, hearty tacos for six bucks,” bartender Nick Shealy says.

“Locals night is absolutely one of the most fun nights,” Shealy said.

“People are very responsive and they really enjoy it.” Even though it’s still called locals’ night, these specials actually run all day long.

WEDNESDAY Sunriver Brewing Company at the Galveston pub has a special locals’ night dinner option, and $1 dollar off draft beer and wine all day. Past food specials have included a pork belly bahn mi sandwich and marinated portobello mushrooms.

Craft Kitchen & Brewery will treat you well if you like smoked meat and beer. The brewery offers a smoked meat sandwich, side, and a beer for $10.

If drinking at home is more your speed, check out the tasting room at Boneyard Beer, where you can get $2 off a 64 oz growler fill or $2 off a 3-pack of their growler cans. The regulars are always on tap—Hop Venom, Diablo Rojo and RPM, as well as six other rotating taps Three Creeks Brewing in Sisters offers a $10 steak dinner on their Locals Appreciation Wednesdays.

In Redmond, Wild Ride Brew is where you want to be on Hump day so you can get a discount on select pints.

THURSDAY At Goodlife Brewery, Descender IPA and Sweet As pale ale, their two mainstays, are always $3 on Thursdays, and usually one other seasonal beer will be discounted. Growler fills are $7. SW

Top, Nordic-inspired pan-fried filet of black codfish with fricassee of mussels, carrots, celery root and parsnips. Bottom, a main dish features poached and fried king crab with butter poached romaine salad and classic Hollandaise sauce is Nordic-inspired, using local Oregon ingredients.

Nordic Cuisine, Oregon Ingredients

6-Course Scandinavian Dinner Sends CCI Students Abroad Food allows us to travel to other countries without leaving home—and for us here in Central Oregon, right now that means an opportunity to discover Scandinavia through a traditional Nordic dinner.

In May, 25 culinary students from Tekniske Skole in Silkeborg, Denmark are visiting through Cascade Culinary Institute’s International Exchange Program. The students will spend two weeks exploring Oregon wine country, visiting farms, foraging and sharing their culture and cooking techniques with CCI students. The culmination of their visit: a six-course Nordic dinner featuring seasonally available ingredients from the Pacific Northwest.

Thor Erickson, the chef instructor and department chair at CCI, describes Nordic cuisine as, “seasonal, uses fresh local flavors with a delicate touch that pays homage to the earth.”

Watched “Tasting Table” on Netflix?

Then think of the cuisine of Magnus Nilsson. (Never watched it? Add it to your queue now, foodie friends.)

One of the items on the menu is poached and fried king crab with butter poached romaine salad and classic Hollandaise. The dinner, which includes wine pairings, is happening one night only. The proceeds help make it possible for local students to have culinary experiences in Denmark and Bend’s sister city, Belluno, Italy. SW Authentic Nordic Cuisine Dinner Thurs., May 25 6pm $150 per person; includes wine pairings with each course Elevation 2555 NW Campus Village Way, Bend RSVP to Deena Cook at 541-318-3738 or dcook1@cocc.edu

hen you live in a town where the economy benefits from other people visiting, it’s easy to feel overlooked as a local. Downtown can be packed with weekend visitors, and 20 minutes of looking for parking just so you can grab a pint at your favorite watering hole can make any Bendite feel like staying home is the better option.

People at those breweries feel your pain and they want to make it up to those of us to have chosen to stick around for the long haul.

“We started locals’ night because we wanted to show our appreciation to the locals,” Dewi Stanczak, tasting room manager at Goodlife Brewing, explained.

“Most breweries have some way of doing that.”

He’s right. Almost every brewery in town has a locals’ night. These are nights when breweries offer discounted beer (and sometimes food), either all day or during certain hours. Despite the fact that they’re called “locals’ nights,” the discounts are available to anyone who walks in the door.

Get Sour for May A small flood kicks off the heart of spring

27

by Kevin Gifford

Kevin Gifford

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 17 / April 27, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Things turn decidedly sour at Broken Top this weekend—in a good way, of course.

T

en years ago, when craft beer was just beginning to explode across Bend, the average beer drinker in the region could be asked about their favorite “sour” beer and left wondering what the heck that meant. Now, there are legit efforts to make springtime into a sort of invented “season” for everything sour, tart, Brett-infused, and just plain un-bitter.

Tavour, the mail-order service that sends craft beer to your door in Oregon and 11 other states, is currently offering a “Sweet Sour Box”—$95 for eight different bottles, shipping included. To the rather hardcore, these include both the light and refreshing, such as Funkwerks’ Raspberry Provincial and a blueberry-infused Berliner weisse from Chicago’s Lake Effect Brewing. Topping the list: Saint Dekkera: Sour Zure Dubbele from Destihl, a 9.9 percent stout that’s bursting with chocolate and dark cherries someone’s dipped in hard liquor.

It goes to the show that the adjective “sour” can be as versatile—meaningless, to be pessimistic about it—as “hoppy” when describing a beer. (The heavier ones have a tendency to wreck one’s palate, too, propagating their flavors over to whatever’s tried next.)

Looking to get into the genre?

There are few better chances locally each year than stopping in Broken Top Bottle Shop, which is holding its fifth annual April Showers Bring May Sours event from April 28 to May 1. Starting Friday, the team will put six sour/tart ales on tap and keep six on until the

following Monday—a fine chance to sample a few at once without breaking the bank.

A few of the highlights: • Pfriem Flanders Style Red Ale: A year and a half spent in an oak barrel has done nothing to dull the ebullience that wafts from this red ale, one that will give wine a fans a sense of déjà vu with its Pinot-like flavor.

• Firestone Walker Agrestic: A mixture of the California brewery’s DBA pale ale, blended together with different vintages and choice of barrel-aging. Up to two years of aging took place on the ingredients that make up this crisp ale, booming with toasted oak, lemon and spice.

• Cascade Sang du Chêne: The first release from Cascade to feature the new labels and logo the Portland barrel-meisters introduced in February, Sang du Chêne (or “blood of the oak”) is a blend of strong, sour blond and triple ales aged in three different types of large oak vessels, balancing out the acidic sourness with toasted sugar and vanilla.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: Disney is on a

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

This one stars Emma Watson as Belle and the smashingly handsome Dan Stevens (from “Downton Abbey”) as the Beast, while also featuring all of the same beloved songs from the original. If this is half as good as last year’s remake of “The Jungle Book,” then it should be highly worth your time.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

BORN IN CHINA: Disney takes a look at the

wildlife of China in this adorable documentary.

Everyone likes baby pandas, of which this movie is bound to have several. It’s like a big budget, 90-minute Youtube video. Perfect. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

EMILY: Filmed in Portland, this drama takes a look at a disintegrating marriage after the husband suffers a crisis of faith. See full review on p29. Tin Pan Theater.

FREE FIRE: Ben Wheatley is one of Britain’s

most brilliant directors with his film, “A Field in England,” being one of this decade’s biggest highlights. “Free Fire” is Wheatley taking his bizarre and brilliant sense of humor and paying homage to the ‘90s, Tarantino-esque shootouts. Apparently, the entire film is an extended, non-stop shoot-out.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GHOST IN THE SHELL: Scarlett Johansson

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

GIFTED: Chris Evans finally has a chance to take a step outside of the Captain America uniform to play a single father raising a child prodigy. He struggles to decide whether to give her a normal life or send her to a school for gifted children.

Looks like a fairly typical tearjerker. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters’ Movie House GOING IN STYLE: A comedy/heist movie

starring Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin sounds like a great time at the movies, that’s no mystery. What is a mystery, however, is why Zach Braff from “Scrubs” is directing this? The real question is whether he will bring his trademark quirkiness to the project. See full review on p29. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

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

KONG: SKULL ISLAND: This new King Kong movie takes all the fun from Peter Jackson’s version and builds an entire film around it. The film is also part of the shared monster universe connecting it with the Godzilla movie from a few years ago. Expect to see these versions of the classic giant monsters fighting each other sometime in 2019. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX LOGAN: Hugh Jackman reprises his role as

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

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PERSONAL SHOPPER: Kristen Stewart gives one of the finest performances of her career in this powerful drama/ghost story. Stewart plays

a personal shopper for a celebrity who is also reeling from the death of her twin brother. As she searched for signs of an afterlife, complications arise with her demanding boss. Tin Pan Theater

SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE: Kids are

probably very excited to see this next installment in the “Smurfs” franchise, but this looks pretty terrible. A bunch of poop jokes surround a story about a lost tribe of Smurfs. Parents will probably have to suffer through this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

SPAGHETTI WESTERN WEDNESDAY: $8 gets you an All-U-Can-eat spaghetti dinner and a hootin’ and hollerin’ good time watching old Western classics. Tin Pan Theater

T2: TRAINSPOTTING: With director Danny

Boyle and the entire cast returning, this should be a sequel of genuine power and purpose. Heroin is far back in Renton’s (Ewan McGregor) history, but when Begbie gets out of prison looking for revenge, his past and present will violently collide.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters’ Movie House

THE BELKO EXPERIMENT: This new horror comedy runs with the wonderful idea of “what if everyone from ‘Office Space’ were forced to try and kill one another.” With a script co-written by James (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) Gunn and directed by Greg (“Wolf Creek”) Mclean, this should be one bloody and intense good time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BOSS BABY: Here’s your chance to enjoy Alec Baldwin making fart jokes as a cute little animated baby. No, this isn’t him doing 90 minutes of his Trump impression. Instead, it’s a children’s story of a baby with the brain of a businessman.

This one could go either way. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House THE CASE FOR CHRIST: Based on a true story, “The Case for Christ” tells a story of an award-winning journalist who attempts to disprove the Christian faith of his wife. Without having seen the movie, we can only assume he ends up finding Jesus. Behind the sofa. Or maybe at the pawn shop. Somewhere unexpected, anyway. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS: I unapolo-

getically love these movies, and if you’re basing any sort of negative opinion just on the first few of the franchise, then watch numbers five through seven and be amazed. The action set pieces keep escalating with each film, so much that by the next film, don’t be surprised if our crew of badasses ends up in space. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

THE LOST CITY OF Z: If you haven’t already

read the book, this is one of the most exciting true-life adventures in history. Charlie Hunnam plays Percy Fawcett, who headed down the Amazon searching for a fabled lost city and disappeared forever. Not to be missed. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

UNFORGETTABLE: Katherine Heigl plays an

unhinged woman who absolutely loses her mind after meeting her ex-husband’s new fiancee. This looks and sounds pretty bad, but Rosario Dawson is one of the finest actresses currently working, so it might be worth it just to watch her beat the hell out of Heigl. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

Grumpy Old Men with Guns Freeman, Arkin and Caine are going in style

Warner Bros.

He’s an interesting choice to direct “Going in Style,” because his trademark flourishes are absent here. Braff does a good job keeping everything moving quickly, but there’s nothing personal on display. In fact, the film is so colorful and briskly paced, it seems Braff is auditioning to make the next Marvel movie more than making something meaningful for himself.

This is actually a remake of a heist movie of the same name from 1979, directed by Martin (“Midnight Run”) Brest and starring George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg. The original was much darker, with the bank robbery taking up only the beginning of the film and the final two acts focusing on the very serious consequences of their actions.

It’s really fascinating to look at the times these two movies were made in and how different they are because of it. The modern “Going in Style” is light as air and even though we care about all three old fellas, we’re never worried for their safety. Audiences in 2017 are flocking to movies that are heartwarming or escapist, not dark and depressing. If the film was made now with the original’s ending, people would hate it or at the very least it wouldn’t be a

These three will power walk their way into your heart.

financial success.

This version of “Going in Style” is a hug from your grandpa. It truly is the cinematic equivalent of a stoned Morgan Freeman playing with puppies—nothing more and nothing less.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a good movie, but it’s not really a bad one, either. SW

Scenes From a Marriage “Emily” deconstructs faith and love

“W

ill you still like me?”

“You’re my husband.”

There’s a moment early on in “Emily” in which an argument that could have been mostly philosophical turns into a deconstruction of an entire marriage. It’s harrowing to watch, because it’s like witnessing a massive boulder rolling down a hill toward something precious and irreplaceable. The boulder starts off so slowly it’s hard to imagine no one stopping it from causing all of the destruction before it happens but before you know it it’s far too late.

Emily and Nathan have been married for three years. They’re both Christians who even host a weekly Bible study in their living room— except that now, Nathan no longer feels connected to God. He even says that when he prays he feels like he’s speaking to a brick wall. That massive difference between them is part of the thematic shading of the entire film.

Nathan now feels bad because Emily married a Christian man, which he

no longer identifies as, so he thinks she’ll be miserable continuing on in their marriage. He feels like he maybe never even was as Christian as he was supposed to be, pretending to be much more devoted than he really was. Emily wants Nathan to search for God in his life again, but that’s the last thing he wants to do.

“Emily” is a compelling look at a marriage falling apart under the weight of expectation. In some ways, the film could have played like Christian propaganda or as an agnostic reaction to the glut of Christian films such as “The Case for Christ” and “God’s Not Dead,” released by major studios.

Instead, “Emily” seems more interested in how we communicate with those we love than with passing judgment on organized religion.

The performances from Rachael Perrell Fosket as Emily and Michael Draper as Nathan are strong, giving the film less of a theatrical feel and something closer to a chamber piece.

It’s always easy to follow their train

of thought because they play so much emotion in their eyes.

Writer/director Ryan Graves has created a powerful film of ideas that feels designed to raise some fascinating arguments among couples. Men and women are both going to find different meanings with the film. Some will be completely behind Nathan as he burns down his life in his self-imposed identity crisis, while others will find comfort in Emily’s faith... not just in God but also in her marriage.

It’s remarkable that a micro-budget indie out of Portland can inspire such insight, but Graves and company have crafted something much bigger than its modest beginnings would suggest. SW Emily

n “Going in Style,” Morgan Freeman smokes a joint, gets stoned out of his gourd and plays with puppies while giggling. Sometimes that’s really all we need from our movies: A safe and entertaining 90 minutes away from the real world, with recognizable celebrities making us smile. While “Going in Style” isn’t by any stretch of the imagination a memorable motion picture, it’s still a perfectly affable and comforting way to spend an hour and a half smiling.

Michael Caine plays Joe, a pensioner who’s losing his home to the bank due to ridiculously high interest rates on a mortgage, which tripled overnight. While he’s at the bank, he witnesses an armed robbery that gives him an idea. A few days later, the company where Joe and his best friends Willie and Albert (a perfectly cast Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin) used to work is bought out and the three of them lose their pensions. Luckily, Joe just witnessed the perfect way to rob a bank.

Director Zach Braff is probably most well known for playing J.D. on “Scrubs,” but is also the writer/director/star of the indie quirk-fests “Garden State” and “Wish I Was Here.”

Hidden Treasure on the Owyhee OUTSIDE Finding In the contentious area in far southeast Oregon, riches of the mineral, agricultural and cultural persuasions abound.

By: K.M. Collins and Topher Robertson

Cool runnings on the Owyhee River.

and outside, a mysteriously functional antique gas pump. With such a small customer base, the food and retail selection was impressive, although, word to the wise: Don’t ask for decaf, you will only receive a confused look in return.

Joel, the establishment owner, told us he’d been a local for many decades, since his retirement from the army.

Chatting over breakfast, topics included the death of Jean Baptiste Charbonneau—son of Sacajawea, the secret to the cafe’s success, locally sourced Basque-style chorizo sausage, news of how the winter’s snow accumulation had driven the river flow up, and of course, its effects on the region’s longtime cattle industry.

As outdoor enthusiasts, it didn’t automatically occur to us that the high water flows rafters pray for on the seasonally-navigable Owyhee are also an indicator that ranchers had endured a rough winter.

The diversity of perspectives between recreationalist and rural locals became more clear at the float registry, when I noticed a pamphlet reading “Our Land Our Voice, No Owyhee Canyonlands Monument without a vote from Congress,” a campaign created by The Owyhee Basin Stewardship Coalition.

Admittedly, by the time we launched and three days and nights slipped by, I surprised myself and altogether forgot about Joel, Rome Station and our treasure hunt. Floating through narrow passages with millions of years of interlaced lava flow

and lakebed sediment, alternating river deposits and eruptions, distractions were aplenty.

If the rocks weren’t engrossing enough, tallying birds was. Calls bounced from canyon wall to wall, drawing our attention skyward, to Harris and Red-tailed Hawk, swallows, Sandhill cranes, chukars, owls, and perhaps the most charming, the Canyon wren.

Most ashamedly, I confess to being led astray by the cold, with the gasket in the neck of my dry suit torn all the way through. In retrospect, over the winter’s perils, I am certain the farmers and cows had more to complain about, but alas, we are victims of our own reality. I was no longer looking for the artifacts, until the fourth day when Robinson reminded me that now was the time to keep an eye out.

We stopped twice for a binocular scout from the shoreline. On the third try, Robinson found the booty: drawing after drawing, cast upon a coat of rusty patina. Enormous basalt talus, angular boulders coaxed downhill from their rimrock terrace by a persuasive eroding river. These surfaces made for practical canvases when hunting parties paused for a drink and waited for prey to do the same.

Immersed in the Owyhee Canyonlands for five days, we saw just a small sampling of the riches the region has to offer. As Oregon State University natural resources graduate student Alex Scagliotti pointed out for us, the Owyhee region contains a vast assortment of valued resources for many

hough we spent hours speculating as to the whereabouts of the rock art, in my wildest dreams I didn’t hope to find it. The previous spring, my raft guide Topher Robertson had rowed the same 65-mile stretch of the Owyhee River, from Rome to Birch Creek, and hadn’t found the cache.

This time, we pored over maps, library books and Oregon Field Guide clips, accruing lists of potentially relevant landmarks that would lead us to the petroglyphs— like pirates in preparation for a treasure hunt.

The morning of our put-in, we ventured into Rome Station, the only diner in the sparsely populated “onehorse town.” Sensibly located down the road from the boat ramp, the outpost offered more than just a hot meal and caffeine. Shelves sported a selection of gold pans, fishing tackle, milk, bread and convenience accoutrements,

different and often competing stakeholders, including those concerned with heritage, game, grazing, mineral extraction and petroleum.

As an ill-equipped stowaway on the rafting trip of a lifetime, I feel lucky we found the rock art while it was still there to be found.

Robinson, also a recreation resource management graduate, captured a potential bridge between divisions over the Canyon, saying, “All parties can agree the Owyhee contains many extraordinary resources and the region’s many treasures deserve careful consideration regarding their future and sustainability.” SW

on the market because of the uncertainty of being able to find a replacement home.

• Mortgage rates — as mortgage rates rise, people are less likely to move and prefer to keep their lower interest rate.

• Home Prices — although home prices are rising, for those who bought at pre-meltdown levels, the prices are not quite yet high enough to pay off what they owe.

• Housing Starts — Freddie Mac states that the projected 1.26 million starts nationwide will not be sufficient to meet the 1.7 million projected need.

The good news for April is that mortgage rates have been decreasing, but the lower inventory is pushing up prices not just here in Bend, but almost all across the nation. I do agree with the report that 2016 will go down as housing’s best year in the past decade.

ccording to the April 18 financial release by Freddie Mac, the low inventory levels are continuing to push prices up and there’s concern because the rise is outpacing job income growth. They reported that for the month of March, higher home prices combined with higher interest rates decreased affordability.

Many statistical reports, including our local reports, are showing a particularly dramatic decrease in the inventory of starter homes. According to the report, the number of starter homes for sale is at the lowest level in over 10 years. While it’s good news that building permits are increasing, they are not expected to keep up with demand.

This is true of our local market as well, where new building permits are not sufficient to keep up with the demand.

The report explains the reasons for the low inventory level by citing four different factors: • Fear of moving — people are afraid to move and put their homes

WANT TO PROMOTE YOUR UPCOMING EVENT IN CENTRAL OREGON?

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Caveheart

I’m a woman in my 30s. I love parties and talking to people, and thank God, because I attend networking events for work. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is an introvert, hates talking to strangers, and loathes “shindigs.” How do we balance my longing to go to parties with his desire to stay home?

—Party Girl Taking an introvert to a party can be a challenge.

On the other hand, if it’s a Fourth of July party, you know where to find him: hiding in the bathtub with the dogs.

I actually have personal experience in this area. Like you, I’m an extrovert — which is to say, a party host’s worry isn’t that I won’t have anyone to talk to: it’s that I’ll tackle three people and waterboard them with sangria till they tell me their life story. Also like you, I have a boyfriend who’s an introvert. For him, attending a party is like being shoved into an open grave teeming with live cockroaches — though, compassionately, it also includes an open bar.

This isn’t to say introverts are dysfunctional. They’re not. They’re differently functional. Brain imaging research by cognitive scientist Debra L. Johnson and her colleagues found that in introverts, sensory input from experience led to more blood flow in the brain (amounting to more

stimulation). The path it took was longer and twistier than in extroverts and had a different destination: frontal areas we use for inward thinking like planning, remembering, and problem-solving. So, introverts live it up, too; they just do it on the inside.

Extroverts’ brain scans revealed a more direct path for stimuli — with blood flowing straight to rear areas of the brain used for sensory processing, like listening and touching. They also have less overall blood flow — translating (in combination with a different neurochemical response) to a need for more social hoo-ha to feel “fed.”

Sometimes, you’ll really want your boyfriend there with you at a party — for support, because you enjoy his company, or maybe just to show him off (kind of like a Louis Amy Alkon Vuitton handbag with a penis). But understanding that “shindigs” give his brain a beating, consider whether you could sometimes take a friend. When he accompanies you, maybe set a time limit and be understanding if he and the dog retreat to the den.

Sure, mingling makes you feel better, but pushing an introvert to do it is akin to forcing an extrovert to spend an entire week with only the cat and a fern. Before long, they’re on with the cable company. Tech support: “What seems to be the problem?”

Extrovert: “I’m lonely! Talk to me! Have you ever been arrested? And do you think I should go gluten-free?”

ASTROLOGY

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s time for you to take a break from the magic you have been weaving since your birthday in 2016. That’s why I’m suggesting that you go on a brief sabbatical. Allow your deep mind to fully integrate the lessons you’ve been learning and the transformations you have undergone over the past eleven months. In a few weeks, you’ll be ready to resume where you left off. For now, though, you require breathing room. Your spiritual batteries need time to recharge. The hard work you’ve done should be balanced by an extended regimen of relaxed playtime.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Apparently, a lot of kids in the UK don’t like to eat vegetables. In response, food researchers in that country marketed a variety of exotic variations designed to appeal to their palate. The new dishes included chocolate-flavored carrots, pizza-flavored corn, and cheese-and-onion-flavored cauliflower. I don’t recommend that you get quite so extreme in trying to broaden your own appeal, Cancerian. But see if you can at least reach out to your potential constituency with a new wrinkle or fresh twist. Be imaginative as you expand the range of what your colleagues and clientele have to choose from.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In speaking about the arduous quest to become one’s authentic self, writer Thomas Merton used the example of poets who aspire to be original but end up being imitative. “Many poets never succeed in being themselves,” he said.

“They never get around to being the particular poet they are intended to be by God. They never become the person or artist who is called for by all of the circumstances of their individual lives. They waste their years in vain efforts to be some other poet.

They wear out their minds and bodies in a hopeless endeavor to have somebody else’s experiences or write somebody else’s poems.” I happen to believe that this is a problem for non-poets, as well. Many of us never succeed in becoming ourselves. Luckily for you, Leo, in the coming weeks and months you will have an unprecedented chance to become more of who you really are. To expedite the process, work on dissolving any attraction you might have to acting like someone other than yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): On numerous occasions, French acrobat Charles Blondin walked across a tightrope that spanned the gorge near Niagara Falls. His cable was three and a quarter inches in diameter, 1,100 feet long, and 160 feet above the Niagara River. Once he made the entire crossing by doing back flips and somersaults. Another time he carried a small stove on his back, stopped midway to cook an omelet, and ate the meal before finishing. Now would be an excellent time for you to carry out your personal equivalent of his feats, Virgo. What daring actions have you never tried before even though you’ve been sufficiently trained or educated to perform them well?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ready for some subterranean journeys? They may not involve literal explorations of deep caverns and ancient tunnels and underground streams. You may not stumbleupon lost treasure and forgotten artifacts and valuable ruins. But then again, you might. At the very least, you will encounter metaphorical versions of some of the above. What mysteries would you love to solve? What secrets would be fun to uncover?

What shadows would you be excited to illuminate?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Why would you guzzle mind-clouding moonshine when you will eventually get a chance to sip a heart-reviving tonic?

Why spoil your appetite by loading up on non-nu-

tritious hors d’oeuvres when a healthy feast will be available sooner than you imagine? I advise you to suppress your compulsion for immediate gratification. It may seem impossible for you to summon such heroic patience, but I know you can. And in the long run, you’ll be happy if you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “You’ll always be my favorite what-if.”

Many years ago, I heard that phrase whispered in my ear. It came from the mouth of a wonder ful-but-impossible woman. We had just decided that it was not a good plan, as we had previously fantasized, to run away and get married at Angkor Wat in Cambodia and then spend the next decade being tour guides who led travelers on exotic getaways to the world’s sacred sites. “You’ll always be my favorite what-if” was a poignant but liberating moment.

It allowed us to move on with our lives and pursue other dreams that were more realistic and productive. I invite you to consider triggering a liberation like that sometime soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’d love to see you increase the number of people, places, and experiences you love, as well as the wise intensity with which you love them. From an astrological perspective, now is an excellent time to upgrade your appreciation and adoration for the whole world and everything in it. To get you in the mood, I’ll call your attention to some unfamiliar forms of ardor you may want to pursue: eraunophilia, an attraction to thunder and lightning; cymophilia, a fascination with waves and waviness; chorophilia, a passion for dancing; asymmetriphobia, a zeal for asymmetrical things; sapiophilia, an erotic enchantment with intelligence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You could go online and buy an antique Gothic throne or a psychedelic hippie couch to spruce up your living room.

For your bathroom, you could get a Japanese “wonder toilet,” complete with a heated seat, automated bidet, and white noise generator. Here’s another good idea: You could build a sacred crazy altar in your bedroom where you will conduct rituals of playful liberation. Or how about this? Acquire a kit that enables you to create spontaneous poetry on your refrigerator door using tiny magnets with evocative words written on them. Can you think of other ideas to revitalize your home environment?

It’s high time you did so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Among America’s 50 states, Texas has the third-highest rate of teenage pregnancies. Uncoincidentally, sex education in Texas is steeped in ignorance. Most of its high schools offer no teaching about contraception other than to advise students to avoid sex. In the coming weeks, Pisces, you can’t afford to be as deprived of the truth as those kids. Even more than usual, you need accurate information that’s tailored to your precise needs, not fake news or ideological delusions or self-serving propaganda. Make sure you gather insight and wisdom from the very best sources. That’s how you’ll avoid behavior that’s irrelevant to your life goals. That’s how you’ll attract experiences that serve your highest good.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I have misgivings when I witness bears riding bicycles or tigers dancing on their hind legs or Aries people wielding diplomatic phrases and making careful compromises at committee meetings. While I am impressed by the disciplined expression of primal power, I worry for the soul of the creature that is behaving with such civilized restraint. So here’s my advice for you in the coming weeks: Take advantage of opportunities to make deals and forge win-win situations. But also keep a part of your fiery heart untamed. Don’t let people think they’ve got you all figured out.

Homework: What’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever done? Testify!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “One of the advantages of being disorderly,” said author A. A. Milne, “is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.” I wouldn’t normally offer this idea as advice to a methodical dynamo like you. But my interpretation of the astrological omens compels me to override my personal theories about what you need. I must suggest that you consider experimenting with jaunty, rambunctious behavior in the coming days, even if it generates some disorder. The potential reward? Exciting discoveries, of course.

ince November, I’ve had some issues getting this column turned in. It’s not writer’s block, nor is it because there isn’t anything happening in the world of cannabis. In fact, I get more press releases and updates about new cannabis products, events, legislative activity and research than I can keep track of most weeks.

No, it’s based more on feelings that many of you may share—that things in this country are on a very bad path for many of our neighbors and friends, and it makes writing about cannabis feel somewhat… futile. Example? Reading about heartbreaking ICE raids and subsequent deportation of “Dreamers,” and then trying to muster excitement over reviewing a new strain.

Which has led me to think about the role cannabis has played in “the resistance,” and what it may be able to do as we move forward.

(Let’s establish that while consuming cannabis has been an anti-establishment action for years, it needs to be paired with action. So doing dab hits while pontificating over “how things need to change, man, like, seriously” while not taking any action other than prepping another dab is about as radical and revolutionary as stuffing your face with fast food. And no, taking action does not include posting “sign this petition” on FB, or commenting with a frowny emoji face over something upsetting you read there.)

With some exceptions, conservatives have always hated cannabis. You can trace it back to Harry Anslinger, who made the use of cannabis by minorities his rallying cry to move the U.S. to criminalize it, hysterically insisting it would lead to rape and worse.

Once those seeds of fear were sown, they grew up big and strong, which moved Nixon years later to state in 1971 recordings that, “On the marijuana thing, I have very strong convictions. … because of the people that are, frankly, promoting it but they’re not good people.”

This wasn’t a one-off comment; Nixon Domestic Policy chief John Ehrlichman said: “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people, You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both

heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs?

Of course we did.”

Flash forward through the “Just Say No” years and legislation introduced that could land a cannabis grower/ dealer life in prison without parole, to April 2016, when our future Attorney General Jeff Sessions stated, “Knowledge that this drug is dangerous, you cannot play with it, it is not funny, it’s not something to laugh about . . . and to send that message with clarity that good people don’t smoke marijuana.”

Except they do, and that’s where we need to step up.

Grow your own? Give your extra to processors who turn it into cannabis oil for the sick and dying. Replacing expensive and harmful pharmaceuticals with a plant you grew enrages the detractors.

If you don’t grow your own, buy through the dispensary system. The taxes help our neighbors, and establish a measurable baseline of users and potential revenue. Demonstrating that cannabis consumers are an economic force could help us stave off changes in recreational cannabis laws.

Sell cannabis or in the cannabis industry? Support a local nonprofit and make it clear than the money came from cannabis.
