It’s 2017. Despite the presidential popular vote numbers this past November, no woman has yet to break the United States’ biggest glass ceiling. Women as a whole continue to earn 16 percent less than men, as of 2015—and if you’re a woman of color, that deficit is even greater.

But peek inside this year’s Source Women’s Issue and you’ll start to see some more uplifting news. You’ll meet our Woman of the Year on page 6, whose commitment to volunteerism in our community puts her high on our list of lady movers and shakers. We also sit down with the staff at Bend’s Planned Parenthood clinic on page 13—the only PP east of the Cascades—who tell us about their recent expansion, even amid threats of funding cuts at the federal level.

Meet some of Central Oregon’s emerging and seasoned female activists on page 8, who inspire us for their commitment to feminism, food activism, social justice, racial equity, the legislative process and more. Find out, “What is feminism anyway?” on page 11.

And we profile both of Oregon’s female governors on page 35, who remind us that future generations will one day judge us, and that this is our time.

To the people of all genders who make our part of Oregon the great place it is—and to those working to move the needle toward a more equitable society—this one’s for you.

Urgent Care • Open 7 Days

In the race between Stuart Young and Richard Asadoorian for the south county Bend-La Pine school board spot, we must preface by saying that it was exceedingly difficult to choose between these two candidates. That’s a good problem to have in any race.

Experienced educators are able to set sound, experience-based educational policy.

Both men, now retired, have spent their careers committed to education, both have served in administrative roles, and both come armed with extensive knowledge about the role of a school board. Richard Asadoorian is a former teacher and school principal, was the school president in a diverse district of more than 1 million people in Contra Costa, Calif., and now sits on the board of a charter school in California. He’s also been a CASA volunteer and has extensive experience in the legislative process.

Incumbent Stuart Young, appointed to the board in 2014 upon the resignation of Mike Jensen, is also a former teacher and principal with more than 20 years of experience as a superintendent in Creswell, Ore., and in international schools worldwide. He’s also a supporter of the CASA program.

While neither spent their careers in the Bend-La Pine school district, it’s fair to say that both men’s depth and breadth of experience would be beneficial in our growing district.

Both candidates also share our values of equity, and both support more contraceptive options offered at school-based health centers. Each supports an “education first” model in funding from the state Legislature, and each advocates for a collaborative approach in solving statewide funding issues as they relate to education. While we weren’t impressed with the board—which included Young—deciding to come out against Measure 97 during the 2016 election cycle, we’ll be looking toward the new board for leadership in advocating for school funding at the state Legislature. On that topic, Young says he “struggled a great deal” with the board’s position on Measure 97, and that were an education funding bill to come forward that is more clearly written, he would even “go door to door” to support it.

Were we to have the option, we would recommend that both men be able to serve on the school board— but that’s not the way things work.

While we believe Asadoorian would come with skills and experience—and a charming personality—that would benefit the board, Young, with very similar skills and experience, is already in the seat. We see no reason to unseat him and face the requisite onboarding that comes with every new board member. The Bend-La Pine school board needs strong, informed leadership as it moves forward in setting policy and advocating for our area schools. Knowing that we’ll get that with either candidate sets our minds at ease in this race. In the upcoming election, vote Stuart Young for Administrative School District 1, Zone 4. SW

OPINION Letters

IN RESPONSE TO, WHO’S LOCAL ANYWAY? (4/26)

I came here 35 years ago, from Orange County. I loved it because there was nothing here. Just natural beauty, like California USED to be when I was a little girl. As recently as last summer, a comment was made that I wasn’t a local, I was from California. (I passed your test with flying colors) and frankly I’m tired of hearing it.

You can call it growth, but Bend is now just another “tourist town,” with LOTS of pot stores and beer bars. Sad. Whatever the case may be, can we please stop blaming everything on the Californians? Bend and its “locals” need to take responsibility for what is happening.

Bend prides itself on being so accepting of gay, trans, religion of choice, etc, — unless you are from California.

Does anyone remember the gladiola farm that used to be located where the Factory Outlet is now? I used to buy flowers there for my elderly mother.

IN RESPONSE TO, THE BILL THAT COULD STOP THE COMPLETION OF THE DESCHUTES RIVER TRAIL (4/26) Looking at the Google Maps satellite imagery of the area it seems like much ado about nothing: it’s a footbridge, not a four lane highway. The area is already built up on all sides with houses. Encouraging more people to walk or bike across the river rather than drive around via Reed Market seems eminently sensible to me.

— David N. Welton, via bendsource.com Bend Parks has planned an imaginary trail down the Deschutes River since the 1960s.

Like many ideas from city planners back then, it was done with little consideration for the environment. The same is true today

I would encourage a read of Harvard Professor Robert Putnam’s “Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis.” He profiles Bend and the way that it has developed since the 2008 recession. There are undeniable economic differences between those who have moved here as lifestyle change and those who lived in the Central Oregon economy during the recession. Putnam describes it as a non-racial gentrification process. There are measurable reasons for the hostilities that locals feel towards newcomers to Bend that should continue to be examined critically. Sure, Central Oregon residents spew rhetoric that is reminiscent of a “build a wall” mentality, but the population boom hasn’t been prosperous for all community members and I hope newcomers learn to recognize that.

with the proposed bridge.

While the concept of linking the human communities of Bend and Sunriver is a good one, our thinking has matured and we recognize the value of the community that already exists along the river. For ten river miles, eagles, osprey, elk, mink, deer and bears find refuge in the riparian areas surrounding the Deschutes up to Sunriver.

They can’t drive their Subaru to the other river. They have to make it here.

The proposed bridge is an easy crossing in shallow water. The convenience of not having to drive to the west side trails is appealing for locals. That is, until you’ve seen forty elk cows and their yearlings splash across in the exact spot. It is a critical fording spot that is their only access to their spring calving grounds. Deer herds also use the ford in their migrations. While there are many places humans can build a bridge, wildlife has to use what is available. They need this crossing. They won’t bring their young near when people are around.

The parks dept wants to complete the trail and the bridge so they can collect SDC (System Development Charges) funds when the remaining elk preserve is bulldozed for subdivisions. How can that happen? Just pay the difference in back taxes and the refuge designation disappears. Eventually, all that remains is the name on the school.

In their short-sighted pursuit of the bridge, Bend Parks and Recreation (BPRD) has asked State Parks to open rulemaking for this one mile stretch. While the proposed legislation could block bridge building, other rules are up for change as well. Coupled with a bridge, these changes could have a devastating impact on the wild community that graces our river.

Currently, there is a ban on outfitters and events are limited to 150 participants.

Outfitters and running event promoters are requesting changes that would allow marathons and bike races. I’m sure Don (Horton, executive director, of Bend Park and Recreation District) envisions big events like PPP (Pole, Pedal, Paddle) down his trail, but regardless of his environmental assurances, BPRD does not have any jurisdiction on the other end of the bridge and the Forest Service does not currently maintain the trail adequately. The influx of traffic will degrade the habitat, deter wildlife and spectators during events will drive them completely away.

While Don is certainly only paid to promote human interests, he ignored the rest of the proposed legislation that would give a great economic boost to humans in the region. HB2027 also calls for Lottery bonds to be available for water storage and distribution projects. This means lining and piping out leaky canals. This is the key to improving the health of the river and every fisherman and irrigator should loudly

support this bill.

I want to thank Gene Whisnant for including the bridge ban in this important legislation. He obviously recognizes the connection between rivers and wildlife. I hope Salem will recognize this proposal as a way to break a local political log jam and move forward.

Lottery bonds would be repaid from the revenues of the small hydro stations on the newly piped canals. But irrigators don’t have to be the only direct beneficiaries. Fishing groups with water rights and lottery financing could partner with TID to pipe water from Tumalo reservoir back up its abandon ditch to enhance selected trout streams.

Can you dream it? I can.

HB2027 would be a major step forward in water management. It will also finally bury an old bad idea about a bridge.

IN RESPONSE TO, VOTE YES FOR THE BEND-LAPINE SCHOOL BOND (4/26) NOPE! Bend is full, not my problem you have kids and want a free public education.

Move elsewhere.

The schools in Bend are excellent and in order for them to stay that way, we need to vote YES for this bond. My kids are out of school now but I still want Bend to have excellent schools and I want Bend’s kids to have the best education they can get. It’s a no-brainer to me! Am I rich?

Nope! Will $7 a month break me? Nope!

OF THE YEAR:

Betsy Warriner From the ashes of Volunteer Connect rises a new phoenix: Volunteer Central Oregon.

Here is the woman championing its cause.

BY MAGDALENA BOKOWA

PHOTOS BY JOSHUA LANGLAIS

At first glance, Betsy Warriner is demure, soft spoken and reserved.

Her thoughts are well constructed, presented in a calm tone. Meeting with the Source in her home on the banks of Mirror Pond, the woman, her life and her surroundings point to another era – one of service, solitude and simplicity.

But there’s something else about Warriner. Her light blue eyes shine brightly, a mischievous sparkle appearing when she talks. “People would be surprised that I can be goofy,” she laughs, “that yes, I have a sense of humor underneath this button-downed persona.”

Warriner, 77, has been a lifelong champion for justice and equality. Her volunteerism spans decades, including volunteering as the only white woman in a West Indies after-school program, to the streets of Ethiopia in the late ‘60s, to years of service in North Carolina, Seattle, Portland and Bend. As founder and executive director of Volunteer Connect, a nonprofit that closed last year and has now reemerged as Volunteer Central Oregon, she has given thousands of hours of her time, energy, guidance and wisdom.

“The Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu touch on it in the “Book of Joy,” she reflects, “Being aware of others’ suffering and being compassionate enough to do something about it brings joy into your life. So I feel like my life is pretty joyful. I feel very fortunate.”

Having come from a “highly privileged and chaotic family,” she attributes her eccentric, observational nature to her father, who instilled a sense of inquiry and appreciation for the present moment.

“He was always teaching us to observe even the smallest of things,” she says.

“We would be walking in the woods, and he’d say, ‘If you ever get lost, the tendency is to walk in circles and you want to avoid doing that. So, notice what side of the tree the moss is on. It’s usually on the north side. If you can notice that and go from tree to tree, you can go in a straight line and not get lost.”

It’s in her DNA to take notice — from

the goldfinches that nestle and roost in her plum tree to the injustice and inequality that thread our communities.

“I remember in high school, standing in the doorway and thinking, ‘I just want to make a difference in the world.”

SMALL ACTS GARNER BIG CHANGE A Harvard graduate and a mother of two twin girls who she calls her best friends, Warriner began her career as a teacher before obtaining her doctorate in counseling. It was at a Seattle universi-

per were completely depressed because they were studying social problems without seeing any real solutions in sight. The ones who did the service learning however, were completely opposite – they were hopeful and full of insights because they saw people making a difference.”

Warriner then found herself in a position that she carried over to Portland Community College and to Bend with Volunteer Connect and Volunteer Central Oregon, as a facilitator and liaison for those wanting to volunteer.

“

There’s a lot of giving and volunteering in this community. A lot of local nonprofits regularly collaborate and help each other out. The spirit really is in giving...All in all, it’s worked out for the best. I’m grateful that I can keep doing good work.”

— BETSY WARRINER

ty where she was first introduced to the concept of service learning.

“One year there were a couple of students who didn’t want to volunteer, so the college let them do a paper instead,” she says. “We discovered that at the end of the term the students who did the pa-

Volunteer Connect, which began as Volunteer Insights, was founded by a group of community members in 2004, wanting to connect eager volunteers with local volunteer opportunities. The platform, which has since shifted to Volunteer Central Oregon, hosts a database of over

130 nonprofits. Visitors easily search and find opportunities that suit their interests, time commitments and locale.

But nonprofits that serve a wide need face tough fundraising battles, since donors are more apt to donate to a specific cause or organization. “People like to know that their money is going to a specific project or cause, so it’s hard to attract fundraisers when you can’t tell them specifically this is going to this or that.”

Approaching her late 70s, Warriner told the board of directors at Volunteer Connect that she was planning on retiring in a year, so her executive director position would now have to be filled and paid for.

The nonprofit found itself with a huge hole to fill. The board grew anxious that it might not make it through its operating budget and instead of weathering the storm, it quickly decided to close shop, Warriner says.

“I was sent out of the room, so to speak,” Warriner says, “Personally, it was the most painful experience of my life. At last, I had finally found a way to make a difference in the community – it was working well, we had a beautiful team and there was nothing I could do to save it. It was hard.” Her doctorate in counseling offered tools for her to deal with the crisis, but she admits that at

that time it was too hard to counsel herself. “Your defenses are up and all you’re thinking about is, ‘How do I save this organization?” Instead, she turned to her daughters and a book called, “Give and Take,” by Adam Grant.

“I regret we didn’t give the community the chance to rally behind us, to help support us.” She points to A6 Studio & Gallery, which recently made a public plea of financial support – and was surprisingly rewarded with $27,000 in donations.

FROM GRIEF COMES HOPE “There’s a lot of giving and volunteering in this community,” asserts Warriner.

“A lot of local nonprofits regularly collaborate and help each other out. The spirit really is in giving.” That collaboration was evident when the news broke of Volunteer Connect closing. Katie Condit, executive director of Better Together, appeared, ready to build on the work Warriner and her team had accomplished.

A new organization emerged: Volunteer Central Oregon. “Many people think we’re completely closed and the database is lost, but that’s the farthest from the truth. We have exactly the same database and we’re doing exactly the same work. We’re growing as a matter of fact.”

Betsy no longer needs to fundraise as much and instead connects with organizations, aids their volunteer searches and consults in her spare time.

“All in all, it’s worked out for the best. I’m grateful that I can keep doing good work.”

So then Betsy Warriner, the gracious, thoughtful and ever-observant volunteer, will not retire next month as she had planned. Instead, she will continue her sustained efforts to better our local community by expanding its network of volunteers.

For anyone wanting to volunteer but feeling overwhelmed by the choices, she offers bits of advice: “People say, ‘Oh, I can’t do everything so I won’t do anything. Giving can be a habit that can start with small steps. So start small. Find an area that you are truly interested in and commit some time there. If you don’t have time, then $50 towards a small organization that is doing good work, really does make a difference.”

Retirement be damned, Betsy Warriner, almost 78,continues to give to our community. She is the 2017 Woman of the year due to her lifetime commitment to public service. Congratulations, Betsy, and thank you for your work. SW

MOVING THE NEEDLE SEASONED LEADERS Beverly Clarno

OREGON’S FIRST FEMALE REPUBLICAN SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND (RETIRED) 20-YEAR POLITICIAN

“

But I do believe the men who believe women should be in the kitchen baking cookies are now in the minority.”

“I went into politics essentially after seeing the needless and ridiculous restrictions and limitations I saw government put on the little guy. In the early ‘70s, government officials would come and visit my hog farm in Wasco, Oregon, and they were arrogant, demanding and awful to deal with — and in the rural areas, you’re not used to people treating you that way. So I thought, if I could just get into the Legislature, I would try and change it so that we would help people comply with the law.

“I’ve never thought that anything bad that happened to me was because I was a woman, (laughs) but I have had plenty of trouble with men. What I noticed was men my son’s age — the younger generation — treated me with the greatest respect. It was the men, my own age, who I had trouble with. They’re not used to dealing with women in the political world. When I was sworn into the Oregon Legislature in 1989, a man my age said, ‘I don’t know what you’re doing here, you should be home in the kitchen, baking some cookies.’

“It’s not just a generational thing though, it’s more than that. In a way, it is how you were raised and I was always treated equally. I pulled the same weight my brother or husband did on the farm. My first supporters were men from the Cattlemen’s Association and Farm Bureau who saw me not as a woman but as a champion for them, back when Central Oregon was more rural.

“But I do believe the men who believe women should be in the kitchen, baking cookies are now in the minority. In my own party, I had problems with a few men who tried to form a mutiny and not vote for me right before the House leadership vote. But the Democratic leader at the time, Peter Courtney, rallied behind me, threw his support and told me personally that the Democrats would support me. That kind of bipartisanship wouldn’t happen now. So I think it was easier, in a way, to be a woman in politics 20 years ago because there was more cooperation and collaboration between parties. That’s not the case now.

“I wouldn’t call myself a feminist, but women provide a good balance in politics, increased enthusiasm and a willingness to change the status quo. I’d be happy to help any woman wanting to run — because we need more women, especially Republican women, to get involved and bring their unique skills to the table.”

Amanda Stuermer

WORLD MUSE WOMEN’S CONFERENCE FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

“

Frame your activism as not against something, but for something. It’s important to be working towards, not against an issue. It is much easier to rally people for a cause rather than against it.”

“Too often, we don’t value the insights we gain from our youth. Older women can offer so much experience and wisdom to younger women, but they too can gain from the meaningful dialogue and thoughtfulness younger teens have — if we just provide them with a platform to be heard. It’s truly is a mutually beneficial relationship.

“When I was marching among thousands in D.C for the Women’s March, I looked around and didn’t see the difference between the women, men and different generations there. We were all coming in through different doors — some marching for women’s rights, trans rights, environmental rights, immigration, equality, black lives and so on — and even though we walked in through a different door, we all ended up in the same place. We don’t all have to carry the same banner. We just have to have the passion and follow through.

“I think it’s important to frame your activism as not against something, but for something. It’s important to be working towards, not against an issue. It is much easier to rally people for a cause rather than against it. Think positively and be creative. With World Muse, which started out as a leadership program for teens and is now in 10 different schools through Central Oregon and is an annual conference, I learned that the work you do in your local community is incredibly important and ties you to something much bigger. It is absolutely true that your work matters and keeps you connected to a bigger movement.

“Know that your voice matters. If you’re privileged, and let’s admit that we are in this community, then use your privilege as a vehicle for change. Own it. We need more seats at the table, otherwise we’ll just be on the menu.”

DEMOCRATIC STATE REPRESENTATIVE 2009-2011, RETIRED LAWYER AND POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR

When I was going door-to-door campaigning, not so long ago, a gentleman in his 60s politely told me, ‘This is not where you belong.’”

“I’m proud to say I was the first woman to practice law in Redmond in the late ‘70s. The men in my firm playfully referred to me as the “girl lawyer.” I was arguing a case while eight months pregnant and the presiding judge — Judge Copenhaver — waved me over and asked for me to approach the bench. He was astounded that I was heavily pregnant and still working. With genuine concern, he told me, ‘I don’t want to see you until after you’ve given birth.’ I kept working, of course, but I had to get the other lawyers to try any case that was before him. Judge Copenhaver ended up becoming godfather to both of my children.

“We’ve come a long way since the women’s movement and in a way, I think because it’s less of a head scratcher and less of a novelty, we’ve kind of plateaued at the amount of women in politics and in the Legislature. Oregon is the classic dichotomy; in some ways we are progressive, and in some ways we are still behind. I still remember my time at Saving Grace, and how difficult it was helping women get restraining orders against their husbands. Things have changed for the better.

“I came of age in a raucous time — the civil rights movement, women’s liberation, anti-war protests, and in a way it’s in my DNA to be an active citizen. But being an active citizen is more than just marches and protests, it’s about being conscious and funneling your passion into something. Be creative with it, volunteer your time, weather the not-so-exciting times and work hard.

“We are seeing a time where people understand you can’t just sit back and not be a part of the whole picture. So go do something. Each person has something to offer. My mother started volunteering at the age of 80. When you’re an active part of your community in any shape or form, that’s activism.”

–AS INTERVIEWED BY MAGDALENA BOKOWA

MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST, KEY ORGANIZER OF THE BEND WOMEN’S MARCH

I really wanted for people, especially newcomers to the area, to know that we do welcome the diversity.

“With all of the rhetoric that we saw during the campaign, the presidential campaign, there was a lot of focus on differences between people, you know, ‘some people are good and some people are bad and we want to keep the bad people out, and protect the good people.’ And I think that kind of thinking is dangerous, individually and on a societal level, and I know that as our demographics change rapidly in Central Oregon, I know we have more and more people of color moving here, more and more people of different sexual orientation backgrounds and different gender identity backgrounds, and I really wanted for people, especially newcomers to the area, to know that we do welcome the diversity. And it might be difficult, but we do welcome diversity and this is a place where we want everyone to feel accepted and wanted.

“My partner that I do that (a support group for transgender youth & their families) with, what we want to do is educate the youth as well as their families in answering any of their questions. You know there might be neurological differences between transgender people and cisgender— which is the correct terminology for those of us that don’t identify as transgender—and so answering questions, making sure that parents can make informed decisions in supporting their youth and not just react based on what they see in the popular culture that might be confusing to them or concerning to them.

“All of the parents I talk to love their children. They care greatly for their children and their biggest concern is making sure that their children aren’t experiencing mental health issues and definitely aren’t experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Or if they are, that those can be talked about and worked through that way. When we are alone with our thoughts, especially our negative thoughts—and that’s true even when we self isolate because we feel different, because we feel unaccepted—then we don’t have the ability to get a reality-check so to speak and make sure that we’re thinking correctly.”

TRIBAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE, AGENCY DISTRICT

“

I want young women, specifically, to just be whoever they are.”

“Being on council now and looking at the kind of issues that come up, there’s stuff right now with the irrigation districts and a lack of water, and environmental issues, all these things. But when you sort it all out and you set aside identity and you set aside the barriers that make us sit on opposite sides of the table and look at each other from that perspective, a lot of times we’re fighting for the same thing.

“My mom’s white, so I have a white family, I have a native family…. having to learn how to accept and fully embrace different identities was really hard in my family life, so I know it seems impossible to force that on society. It’s like… education, we have to teach kids to care about each other.

“Humanity is still there. It’s our job to make safe spaces to tell our stories to each other.

“In a lot of ways… this whole burst of hatred that’s in America right now is an eyeopener to a lot of people, who, it probably is their grandfathers, it could be family members, that they’re seeing it, and I really do have faith that people are going to choose to be better, and to just be good.

“So much of our history has been hidden, has been pushed out of education because people don’t want to be truthful about capitalism and about racism and about money and about the truth of America and every horrible thing it did, but it’s finally time that it’s all coming out.

“I want young women, specifically, to just be whoever they are. I mean, I think I’m pretty outspoken, I have a face piercing, I have Old English tattoos on my feet, but I think being raised in my culture and not being afraid to go to the longhouse like this, or all these things that is what’s really made me be happy and balanced and strong and appropriate, and a lot of what I really like doing is just having these relationships and being part of these collectives and these organizations that are all about talking about our identity and empowering each other, and that’s really an individual thing.”

CO-ORGANIZER OF THE NOV. 2016 LOVE TRUMPS HATE RALLY

“

If you want to start something, just go and start it—and you have no idea how many people will join you and how many people will believe in what you believe in.”

“I was visiting Bend the weekend after the election and I was like, ‘Oh, is there anything going on,’ and my friend said he didn’t know of anything. I asked my friends, ‘Do you just want to hold some signs in front of the library or whatever.’ I wasn’t expecting it to really be anything.

“I actually want to give a lot of the credit to my friend Tom (Wrisley) because he was the one who got in contact with bigger activist leaders in Bend. We ended up being peacekeepers and leading the march and speaking in front of a crowd and that was really great.

“The thing I noticed in Bend is that it has a lot of potential for the activism. With the college opening up, it brings in younger people with different ideas about how they think the world should be run, and I didn’t even know that there had never been a protest that big in Bend before.

“I know that there’s a lot of people who do want to participate, but they don’t know where to go, or who to talk to or how to start. I think that… I don’t want to say that the youth should lead the fight because I think it should be a joint effort from all the ages. As we saw from the rally, there was great age diversity.

But I do think that the youth have a lot to offer for new ideas like in terms of intersectionality, which I think is something that is really big when talking about including everyone and making sure that everyone has a voice. It’s not a new concept, but there’s just new discussion as far as race, gender, white supremacy, and how our government works that hasn’t always been a discussion that I think the youth can provide.

If you want to start something, just go and start it—and you have no idea how many people will join you and how many people will believe in what you believe in. Just put your face out there and try to start something.”

“

I’ve done some traveling, but I’ve started to realize it’s important to put down roots and care about the community where you are.”

Megan French PROGRAM DIRECTOR

LOCAVORE

“

Food security means that you can rely on your neighbor for food and to be healthy. It means if we need to feed the whole community, we could.”

“I don’t think activist is a negative term, but it sometimes means you’re kind of extreme. I’ve been working in the community for a little more than five years and maybe now I’d consider myself more of an advocate. I was born in Bend and grew up in Tumalo, so Central Oregon is important to me. I’ve done some traveling, but I’ve started to realize it’s important to put down roots and care about the community where you are.

“I think (land use) is so important because I care about protecting our natural environment. Oregon’s land use in particular keeps urban development in urban areas and allows us to protect our natural recourses in rural lands.

“Land Watch has been great because I’ve been able to take on a lot of different issues. I’m surrounded by people who care about similar things and I think we’re really effective. It’s inspiring to see Paul (Dewey) and Carol (Macbeth) our two attorneys be so successful.

“We were really involved in the Urban Growth Boundary process and I think that was really collaborative.

With Land Watch’s input we were able to reduce potential urban sprawl by 70 percent from the original proposal. I think that’s super important for Bend’s future because it’s shaping the city we’re going to be 30 years from now.

“Instead of having sprawl and lots of traffic with cars being the only mode of transportation that’s feasible, we can have a little bit more walkable, bikeable community and try to have neighborhoods where you can work where you live, have access to services and shops and restaurants. I think the idea of the Urban Growth Boundary and keeping our city more compact is really important for Bend.

“It’s always so eyeopening to go to a City Council meeting. You don’t have to go for any reason and you don’t have to speak. But if you sit in the room and watch things happen you get a better idea of what’s going on and then you can take action on things that speak to you. Locally, we have a lot of say over what happens.”

“I never have used the word activist before, nor did I really think of myself as one, but I kind of am. What it means to me is creating a healthier community. That’s why I’ve taken a hold of local food so much. It’s all-encompassing of everything that I find important. Community health, actual physical health, sustainability, environmental consciousness and building relationships with people.

“In my childhood, we always grew food, lived next to farmers. My dad hunted, we fished, we canned and it was more out of necessity than entertainment. I took those things into my adulthood and I see the importance of this and how it can create more accessible food for everybody.

“At Locavore, I’ve been able to delve into that community, meet everyone, help them and have a purpose. It’s introduced me to all different people in the community from the people that are actually producing, to that people I want to get it to, to other businesses that I want to have partnerships and relationships with. Through working with the other businesses, it’s opened up new conversations everyday about how we can help each other. It betters Central Oregon food security.

“Food security means that you can rely on your neighbor for food and to be healthy. It means if we need to feed the whole community, we could. I think we still have a long ways to go for that, but demand needs to drive the growth of farms. We can’t have all of these farmers growing food and have nobody to buy it.

We really need to rely on the eater to grow the amount of food security.

“Change a small percentage of your diet to be local food. Instead of buying strawberries at the store, buy them when they are grown locally. Eat more seasonally. Be more creative in your cooking. Volunteer, help those in need.

“To me, local is all about sharing. There’s no reason why we should all have to grow all different varieties. If you can hook up with your neighbor and they’ll grow all of the beans and you can grow all of the kale, that’s awesome.”

WOMEN’S ISSUE

THE F WORD: FEMINISM

W H AT ’ S I N A N A M E ? E V E RY T H I N G .

WHAT IS FEMINISM?

We asked Central Oregonians to weigh in.

WOMAN ON THE STREET April 28, 2017

11

BY MAGDALENA BOKOWA

180 years. That’s how long women have (officially) been fighting for equality. Since its early European incarnation, feminism and the women’s movements have been responsible for: a women’s right to vote, work, divorce and choose.

Thousands of women (and men) pounded the streets, protesting for change and got it. Yes, we’ve come a long way, but feminism is still misunderstood by the masses, feminists are still chastised and labeled as radical, and the F word can be more polarizing than the word fuck.

But why? And should we reframe?

THE ROOTS OF RADICAL FEMINISM Feminism comes in many forms and in many statements. Its appearance ranges from the bra-burning of the ‘60s and ‘70s to the recent Women’s March on D.C. “There’s a lack of misunderstanding around the word, where it’s come from and where it’s going,” says Stuermer, “It’s seen as a threat, right? ‘Women are just going to leave their husbands’ kind of mentality and so on. So what do you do to minimize the perceived threat? You ridicule. There’s been a strong cultural inheritance about the word feminism that has followed it throughout recent decades, so much so, that many women fear being called a feminist because it must mean they must be a butch, hairy-

“If you’re championing for equal rights for all, then why not call it Egalitarianism?”

The word feminism is used over egalitarianism because the goal is not to take rights away from men, but rather to improve the status of women. According to women’s rights advocates, the women’s liberation movement and hence, feminism, deserve its own word in order to highlight the inequalities that are still present to this day.

IN THE U.S., WOMEN STILL: • Make up 51 percent of the U.S. population, but make up 20 percent of Congress.

• Make up only 5 percent of top management positions • Face reproductive right challenges, with Congress implementing more than 400 restrictions on a woman’s right to choose.

• Made 84 cents to the dollar compared to men. (Data from Pew Research Center in 2015—which also states that black and Hispanic women make far less than this amount.)

As Amanda Stuermer, founder and director of the World Muse Conference reflects, “Until women are treated fairly, we need the word feminism. It’s similar to the debate about ‘Black Lives Matter.’ When there is no longer disparity, racial injustice, racial profiling and fear, then can we stop using the words to call attention to its injustice.” Yes, pundits, all lives do matter, but they are not currently treated as equal. When this shifts, only then can we stop using these terms.

“You got your rights, what ELSE do you want?”

“

If you support gay rights, trans rights, minority rights, religious rights, disability rights, reproductive rights and all the differences that make us human, then you are a feminist.

armpit-wheelin’ woman hell bent on burning men at the stake. Not true. Yes, applause is given to the statement makers — those are needed, but a feminist is anyone that believes in equality for all.”

“Back in the day, if you were called a feminist, you were automatically a bra-burning, pro-abortion radical,” says Judy Stiegler, former Oregon Democratic House Representative. “I think it’s polarizing because it gets wrapped around with other really contentious issues, like abortion for example. But no one’s pro-abortion! You’re pro-choice. You believe in the woman’s right to choose to do what she wants to her body. So feminism has unfortunately been tied to these movements that tend to polarize, but that

Emily, Bend doesn’t mean we need to stop using it.”

With the recent resurgence of the third wave of feminism, now more than ever, the word is more important than ever to unify those working toward equality.

I do consider myself a feminist, and my definition of feminism is pretty much just the idea of equality of the sexes and of everybody.

PATRIARCHY AND REFRAMING MASCULINITY Lisa Knisely, who holds a doctorate in Gender Studies and teaches in Portland, agrees that the word feminism can be polarizing when it’s associated with other people’s freedoms. Especially masculinity.

“There’s a real anxiety for some men, that they don’t quite know what it means to be masculine or be manly anymore,” Knisely says. “With gender studies, it gives tools to reframe what our new form of masculinity is. You do have to realize that people, including men, are deeply invested in their identities. By acknowledging the investment men have in their masculinity, truly listening to them and their anxieties — it’s a first step in creating respectful and equal identifies for them that are equal to women.”

She points to Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan as an example of the complicated identities and current backlash. “It shows a type of nostalgia towards a type of masculinity that some people think has been lost. Perhaps hinged on more aggressive or dominant behavior. And so, saying OK, you don’t have to be anxious about the loss of that masculinity but instead there’s this redefined masculinity that can be more appealing to everyone, and to you, is one way to go about it.

“Men are figuring it out however, I can see it in the urban areas as they struggle to figure it out. In a way it needs to come from men to other men.”

REFRAMING FEMINISM: IF YOU BELIEVE IN EQUALITY FOR ALL, THEN YOU ARE A FEMINIST. If you support gay rights, trans rights, minority rights, religious rights, disability rights, reproductive rights and all the differences that make us human, then you are a feminist. In the end, feminism strives to end prejudice, discrimination and oppression of people that surpasses just gender. It challenges status-quo thinking about what we’ve been taught regarding traditional roles and the value of certain groups.

Incorrectly, feminism is not “against men.” Its aim is to free us from the traditional definitions of gender, sexual orientation, class and race. It encompasses rights for all and helps us stand up against oppression and demand justice — and who wouldn’t want to champion that? SW

Fran, Bend

I am a feminist, and feminism to me is being on the side of other women.

Ruth, Bend

I think feminism is doing just fine. I’m not a feminist.

I mean, I’m not a liberal person. I’m conservative. My definition of feminism is a woman who likes to have her doors opened for her.

Catherine, Bend

I’m not sure if I’m a feminist. Being a woman, to me, means doing whatever I want.

Cindy, Bend

Do I consider myself a feminist? A little bit. Maybe.

Feminism to me is being proactive about being female.

Amanda, Bend

I don’t consider myself a feminist in the extreme sense. I’m all for women’s empowerment and equality in the workplace and in life.

Joanne, Bend

There are so many interpretations of feminism. I’m of the era when feminism was a glorious dynasty, but yes I am concerned about women getting ahead and being recognized for their contributions on an equal level with men. I’ve worked in a male-dominated business my whole life and seen how women and equal pay is a huge issue.

Toni, Bend

Yes, I am a feminist. I’m a child of the 60s, I grew up through the whole feminist movement. It has been a part of my career path my whole life. I think unfortunately that there’s a lot of negative connotations to that word and unfortunately, it’s possible, a lot of people in my generation are responsible for that negative connotation. We are all working on changing that.

SW: What’s the standard wait time for an appointment?

TW: I can get you in today, you want a visit?

FL

SW: And the clinic just expanded?

TW: Our (new) rooms have been open since January, and we were able to do the remodel all with community support.

It was 100 percent donations raised in order to add two new exam rooms. We added ultrasound machines. With what goes into the rooms, we were able to buy top-notch electronic beds. It was pretty incredible.

SW: I’m not sure if you were at the (Greg) Walden town hall. Someone asked a question about Planned Parenthood, and his response was that the transition away (from PP) would put the funds instead into these several dozen neighborhood health centers which would serve Eastern Oregon, he says better, because it would give access to more rural communities. Knowing that this one is the only one (PP) east of the Cascades, how do you see that affecting things?

TW: Call now. See how long it takes you to get in to Mosaic, which is in all those rural communities he’s talking about. twelve weeks? Sixteen weeks? You want a female provider? Twenty weeks? That absolutely is untrue. This community could not absorb the kind of patient volume that we’re talking about. With the Affordable Care Act and how generous our state is with contraceptive care, we see the OHP patients, and many health care facilities limit those total patients. Five patients, 10 patients.

We’re talking about 7000 patient visits a year that we do here that currently could not be absorbed into other health centers. It would limit access to the most vulnerable population in Central Oregon.

SW: Emily, are there any other health related things that are unique to Central Oregon that you deal with?

Emily Harris-Deutch: We’re really lucky here to have some amazing funded programs for people to access, like access to contraception that isn’t available in other cities around the state or in other states. We see a lot of people from Burns, eastern Oregon, northeastern Oregon. Some people come to us for discretion, too. We see a fair number of people from the community that come to us for discretion as well because this is a small community.

Source Weekly: What goes on at the Bend Planned Parenthood?

Tricia Wilder: We see upwards of 7,000 Central Oregonians a year. We are seeing between 600 and 700 patients a month, which breaks down to between 30 and 40 patients a day.

SW: Were donations made on an individual basis or were there groups that decided to throw money in the pot?

TW: Both, is the answer. We did receive some grants along the way as well as private donations, and we were able to raise the funds in a very short period of time as well, which was really — we’ve never done an ask like that in this community so to see that kind of community support was really incredible. By the time it was all said and done, we had raised over $200,000, which is pretty incredible.

Our primary visit type would be somebody would come here doing their women’s annual well check and be looking for a year’s worth of birth control supply during that visit. We do a tremendous amount of STI checks as well, that’s probably our biggest overall visit numbers in the affiliate.

About 96 percent of what we do is preventative. It’s STI treatment, testing and treatment, birth control, annual well exams that include cancer screenings where we’re saving lives, pregnancy tests, colposcopies, emergency contraception, HPV vaccines. That’s what we’re doing all day every day here, and then 4 percent of our services are abortions.

Little known fact that a lot of people don’t know is two things: one, we do vasectomies here, which is pretty incredible, and the other is that we have just launched limited prenatal care here, which we couldn’t be more excited about.

In the first 12 weeks it’s super important to get in, get started on pre-natal vitamins, have some based testing done with a provider, and in our community it can be challenging sometimes to get in that early because of lack of appointments. St. Charles recently closing their Bend (Center for Women’s Health) location has increased that need. We actually

Every Thursday, a group of demonstrators stand on a sidewalk on Bend’s NE Division Street, holding signs in protest of the Planned Parenthood clinic tucked inside a strip mall’s corner suite. For PP staff, the Thursday protests are par for the course.

On April 13, the president signed legislation that would allow states to withhold family planning funds from clinics that provide abortion services—an action that puts federal Planned Parenthood funding in peril. Then Tuesday, the president named anti-abortion activist Teresa Manning as head of Title X, the program providing family planning funds for low-income people, according to theWashington Post.

I sat down with Regional Health Center Manager Tricia Wilder, Community Education & Outreach Coordinator Liliana Cabrera, and Family Nurse Practitioner Emily Harris-Deutch at the Bend Planned Parenthood clinic to talk about the services PP provide for women and men in Central Oregon.

TW: We support First Amendment rights, and we’re lucky that we live in a country where we can do that. There’s very prescribed rules. They stay on the sidewalk.

They don’t interfere with patient access.

Sometimes when you’re a hidden location like this, they can be your best advertising. And we have people, every day that they’re out there, drive in and—it’s a good donation day for us and people see them and come in and empty their pockets or write checks.

conception is that the education that we do is limited to just talking about birth control and STDs, and that what we do offer as far as education is this wide variety of information that has to do with relationships and how to communicate around our bodies.

But also consent, which is something that we as adults model for young people. That conversation starting with parents of younger children and then adolescents and then all the way into adulthood are things that I think people aren’t necessarily aware that we talk about, because when I am out tabling I hear parents say, “Oh, I don’t need you anymore, we did the one talk.” It’s not a singular talk, it’s multiple conversations.

SOUND Feminine Growl

Aretha Franklin – Nicole Vulcan

to have those references.”

For her latest recording, Rose intentionally set out to make an EP, which she considered a challenge as an album-artist who loves to make full-length records. She loves sequencing the songs, so pairing it down to six songs was tough.

“Strays in the Cut’ (the EP, out in 2016) was really influenced by this period of my life where I felt very ‘other’ in a way,” Rose says. “For me, getting married was a big part of that process.”

“I’ve always been a bit of a music history nerd. In order to move the industry forward and move the art form forward, you have to know where you’re coming from and what influenced you.”

—ANNA ROSE

Rose gladly lists some of the strongest women in music as influences.

She considers Patti Smith to be a pioneer and incredible role model. Sheryl Crow showed people you don’t have to be 21 years old to make it. Stevie Nicks reigns as an incomparable vocal idol.

And for her personally, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt paved the way.

“I’ve always been a bit of a music history nerd,” Rose says. “In order to move the industry forward and move the art form forward, you have to know where you’re coming from and what influenced you. For me, I can draw back to blues and early folk music. I think it’s really important to know where you’re coming from and

Rose found that by entering into a traditional form of marriage, a lot of heteronormative ideals were put on her. The white dress and having a baby, for example.

“As a woman it was challenging for me because I don’t necessarily subscribe or live within those borders.

That process was really challenging for me. This record came a bit out of that. Also, out of feeling a bit ‘other’ in the music industry. I’m not very easily defined into one genre.”

Rose loves rock and roll and the connection between the past, the present and the future. She believes music is one of the only truly universal things. It has its own language that everyone inherently understands.

When it comes to “Strays in the Cut,” everyone has gone through a time in their life where they feel misunderstood by the people around them, Rose believes.

“I think the thing I love the most about being a performing songwriter is the connection you can make from yourself to a song and from that song to a person you’ve never met, never spoken to,” Rose says. “I think that’s a powerful, impactful piece of our culture. Connection is what makes us human, I believe.” SW Anna Rose & James McCartney Tues., May 9, 8pm Volcanic Theatre Pub 70 SW Century Dr., Bend $15/adv at bendticket.com

hen you lay eyes on Anna Rose, you may not instantly think, “I bet this petite blonde girl will blow my mind with raspy, bluesy rock and roll fire.” Fortunately, you would be dead wrong.

“You can be feminine and have a growl in your voice and not be wearing a pushup bra and still make great music,” Rose says. “I think that’s kind of where I fit in that world, and there’re a lot of women out there who are changing that stereotype. It’s cool to be a part of that movement.”

Anna Rose doesn’t conform to traditional stereotypes of the female—or male—rock star

In honor of the Women’s Issue, The Source staffers were polled on their favorite female musicians and singers of all time. Here’s a shout out to the lady leaders who’ve filled our album collections and been pioneers for women in music.

SeepeopleS throw a thought-provoking party with strong emotions on recent partner EPs and tour

Love & Hate

The band SeepeopleS brings its LOVE and HATE songs to the Domino Room, 5/11.

A

t the end of my recent interview with SeepeopleS band leader Will Bradford, he mentioned that before me he’d spoken to Fox Radio News in St. Louis.

Knowing that, it explains why, when I asked about the influences for their latest EP, “HATE,” he cautiously said, “Certainly what’s going on in the world today had a big part of it. It’s impossible to ignore and is the biggest elephant in any room these days.”

Of course, upon listening to the songs on “HATE,” the message becomes clear immediately. It’s no wonder that his hesitation from the previous interview carried into the beginning of ours. Bradford and SeepeopleS challenge the current administration and the power of the presidency on “New American Dream.”

I want to be the president and kill everyone I want to be the president who drops all our bombs If I was the president we would have so much fun If I was the president we would black out the sun While what’s going on in the world today plays a large role in the EP, SeepeopleS’ partner EP, “LOVE,” has a less political viewpoint. “Shangri La La” has a bouncy, beachy feel you can’t help but dance to, while “Your Sad Story” slows it down for a relatable story of lost love.

“When I’m driven to write music is when I’m feeling hot about something,” Bradford says. “For me at least, it’s sort of my way of resolving that original emotion. It’s sort of going through the thought process of what this emotion means, getting it out of the emotional realm and back into a cerebral place where I can think about

it clearly. I’d probably be a hot mess if I didn’t write music.”

With the themes of love and hate on SeepeopleS’ most recent recordings, the two EPs balance each other out, which make for a dynamic and engaging live performance.

“I like to think of it as a thought-provoking party. It’s definitely an energetic show,” Bradford says.

“Being able to just enjoy playing a bunch of music and enjoy the sounds of it, but at the same time not shutting the brain off completely. Still maybe absorb some of the message.”

Bradford loves playing live and believes there’s an honesty and realness to it. You’re dealing with what’s happening in that moment.

“When you record music, you’re in control of time. You can do over when you mess up. It’s a lot like social media.

You can present that perfect thing you aspire to be. With live music, you are kind of giving those moments away.”

While the band describes themselves as anti-genre, think indie rock blended with electronic and psychedelic influences to create an edgy and experimental guitar-driven rock ‘n’ roll sound.

“Genres come with expectations and they have heavy connotations.

The point of SeepeopleS was to make a band that wouldn’t have to own up to exceptions and to do whatever we so choose.” SW

CULTURE

Fight Club (The Musical) Capoeira puts the mix in martial arts

By Howard Leff

the action takes place nonstop.

Constant movement.

Constant music.

But don’t forget the mental toughness required for all this. “Movements teach one to flow and ‘go with it’ instead of rigidly resisting in response to another,” says Embauba. “And although it appears you have an opponent in front of you during the game, your biggest adversary is yourself— your own perceived limitations and self-doubt.”

About an hour into the session, it’s time for the actual “roda” to form.

Embauba explains that capoeira happens only in a roda—the circle of people who bring energy to and define the physical space in which two capoeiristas compete. “The game occurs with live music, clapping and energy delivered by the rest of the group.

“Without music, there is no capoeira. The berimbau and other instruments in the orchestra drive the type and speed of the game being played.

To be a capoeirista, you also must learn the instruments and traditional songs of capoeira. In time, the goal is to know the meanings of the songs well enough to sing them at appropriate times and in response to something happening in the game.”

Here’s how it all works: Two “players” square off as the capoeira game, or “jogo,” begins. From there, it’s an intricate battle in the form of kicks, strikes, defenses, escapes and acrobatics. Physical, yes, but intensely psychological too. Can you outmaneuver your opponent? Can you overcome them with strength? If not, perhaps you can outsmart them with your mind. No

Native Snakes Are More Charming Than You Think Discussions about Central Oregon’s reptiles don’t typically turn philosophical, but Bend artist Abney Wallace has just managed to negotiate that rather sharp curve.

“It’s easy to see a snake or lizard and think snake or lizard,” says Wallace.

matter. Either one can make you a winner. Miscalculate, however, and you could get “taken down.”

Like a game of chess, it’s best to think a few moves ahead.

Among the strategies? Try to mislead your opponent with your eyes.

Keep them guessing. What will you do next? Endless possibilities. Endless outcomes. As Cabeleira, one of this class’ participants, or “capoeiristas,” describes, “(It’s about) staying focused while participating in the music. It’s a whole experience.”

Is it ever.

“I like the elements of the music and I like the elements of learning and singing in another language,” says veteran capoeirista Sarah Allen. “And I enjoy the historical aspects of it because it has such deep culture and history and roots. I’ve never gotten bored with it.” (Capoeira goes back to 16th century Brazil, when slaves used it as a fighting training tool, disguised as a dance.)

It’s also an equal opportunity sport in which anyone can take part. Despite the look of it all, there’s no need for special training. “It doesn’t matter if you are a great player, new to the art or coming back from practice in your earlier years,” Embauba says. “Sure, you may be bruised if you don’t defend a kick or if you get your foot swept out from under you, but that is how you learn.”

Game. Dance. Fight. Song. Way of life. Complex, certainly, but according to Cabeleira, well worth the effort: “It’s a lot of fun,” he says. “Everybody’s super friendly and helpful here—and we definitely have the family vibe going.”

33 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 18 / May 4, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A

game, a dance, a fight, a song, a way of life.

Just some of the many ways to describe “capoeira,” a centuries-old African-Brazilian musical martial art form. Unlike other similar pursuits, this has the feel of a festive South American street party—even though we’re inside a North Bend karate studio. That’s where you’ll find Embauba, the capoeira instructor, enthusiastically leading his twice-weekly, 80-minute class through a complex series of moves.

Complex, that is, to the outside observer, but once learned, Embauba’s students make them look natural and fluid. Remember, it’s a dance after all.

The music begins upon arrival, with participants, or “capoeiristas,” gathering together to play an irresistible blend of drums, tambourines and the ever-present berimbau (a musical “bow” with a single string). Exhilarating and celebratory singing accompanies the music. The capoeiristas take turns belting out verses in Portuguese—both lead vocals and chorus.

It’s an ecstatic feeling—this sort of “call and response,” with participants jumping in when the mood strikes.

The singing lasts for about five to 10 minutes before the training begins.

During this portion, the class uses recorded music.

Most of this warm-up session is a constant whirl of acrobatic activity. Arms and legs everywhere. Twists, kicks and twirls. Actual physical contact, however, is light and safe. Assertive and deliberate, but not aggressive.

Participants work in pairs and with various partners. It’s a true workout as

Players make music with a tambourine, a berimbau and other instruments as they get into jogo.

Note: The class will offer a twonight “new student workshop” series beginning on May 11.

Look for the Calendar Tap feature, in which a Source writer “taps” an event in our calendar and tries it out, in the first issue of each month.

By Howard Leff

“Really though, they are all so different. When we begin to notice the subtleties of the world that surrounds us, we broaden the scope of our experience and thus, begin to live a richer, more fulfilled life.”

Wallace’s latest exhibit, playfully titled “Cold-Blooded Neighbors,” opens at A6 Studio and Gallery this week. His work features exquisitely detailed woodcut prints of, yes,

native snakes and lizards. If ever our local reptiles wanted to generate some much-needed positive press, they’ve found their savior.

“My interest in the snakes and lizards for this project has been primarily their visual characteristics,” he says. “I’m playing with shapes, patterns, and lines that also have a place in my subconscious. Finding those same marks on actual critters is another way of exploring myself as much as them.”

In fact, Wallace didn’t exactly set out with a specific project in mind.

“This came about first as stream of consciousness sketchbook drawings,” he says. “My sketchbook is a place where I work out visual puzzles and allow for my busy mind to empty. Over time I see patterns and themes emerging from my marks. Snake drawings

She Flies With Her Own Wings A spotlight on Oregon’s two female governors

by Nicole Vulcan

35 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 18 / May 4, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

She flies with her own wings. Could Oregon have a more fitting state motto? In 1987, then-Secretary of State Barbara Roberts introduced a bill to change Oregon’s motto from the previous Latin version, Alis Volat Propitis, to its English version, “She flies with her own wings.” Kind of a fitting move for the woman who would later become Oregon’s first female governor, don’t you think?

It was just one of the many tidbits of Oregon history that I learned on my two journeys to visit our state’s two female governors; one current, one a glass ceiling-breaking trail blazer (and avid Trail Blazers fan) who continues to garner respect and speaking engagements across the state.

In honor of the 2017 Source Women’s Issue, we thought, why not aim high, and ask to profile two of the most powerful women in the state? So we aimed high.

Here’s just a small window into the worlds of current Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and former Gov. Barbara Roberts.

Oreogn’s two women governors display books on their reading lists. At left, Gov. Kate Brown displays “We Should All Be Feminists.” At right, Gov. Barbara Roberts displays “Trailblazing Governors,” of which she is one.

Gov. Kate Brown

G

ov. Kate Brown, Oregon’s governor since 2015, has always aimed high.

Now Oregon’s second woman governor, she had even bigger plans as a youngster.

“I remember telling my mother when I was quite young, I believe in 3rd grade, that I wanted to become President of the United States,” Brown told the Source Weekly one recent afternoon in her office in Salem. “And my mother said to me, ‘We don’t have enough money.’ And this is fairly ironic because my dad was a physician, and so I think it was her way of saying girls can’t be President of the United States.”

Brown says it was about that time when she decided she wanted to become a lawyer, eventually earning an undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado and a law degree from Lewis and Clark College.

“For me it was about having the tools to achieve justice and equality in this world,” Brown says. She worked for those things in her own community from a young age too, including talking to the Episcopal minister at her church in Roseville, Minn. about allowing girls to be acolytes.

“There were clearly strong messages being sent to me culturally that, you know, girls were limited in what they could do, “ Brown says. “And it was also… what I would consider sort of the second wave of the feminist movement, and so I clearly picked up on that. I’m an avid reader.” Following her education, Brown worked as a family law attorney and began lobbying in the state Legislature.

“During the ‘91 session I was

working as an advocate on behalf of a women’s organization. At the time the collective women’s organizations in the state, Planned Parenthood, AAUW, pooled their resources to hire a lobbyist,” Brown said. “I got to be that advocate in the ’91 session, and I worked with a coalition of advocates to pass Family Medical Leave. And when Gov. Barbara Roberts signed that bill into law, Oregon became one of the first states in the nation to pass Family Medical Leave.”

Push the clock ahead to 2017, and Brown remains hopeful that the next piece of the family leave puzzle makes it through the current legislative session.

House Bill 3087—referred to the House Revenue Committee April 18—is an insurance bill that would offer paid family leave for a new child, during serious illness, or to care for a sick loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s next to impossible to talk about women’s health these days without mention of Planned Parenthood. With threats to defund Title X, the funding channel that supports Planned Parenthood, coming from the federal level, it’s definitely on the governor’s mind.

“I am extremely concerned about the attacks on Planned Parenthood that are happening at the national level and the move to defund Planned Parenthood,” Brown laments. “One, why would you increase the number of unplanned pregnancies? Why would you reduce access to birth control, other than you really want to control women’s lives? I don’t know the answer to that. I really don’t. And why would you increase the number of abortions?

Because that’s exactly what you do

when you reduce access to contraceptives and family planning.”

For Brown, the rationale that funds would be diverted into other neighborhood health centers, as Rep. Greg Walden—a key arbiter of the Republicans’ proposed American Health Care Act—touted at his Bend town hall, doesn’t pan out.

“The model of what you think a healthy person needs is frankly a white, male model. And so our insurance coverage was built on that,” Brown said.

“We fought many, many years to get insurance coverage for mammograms and gynecological exams. We fought for a number of years to get coverage for contraceptives. In fact, I fought 16 years to get this Legislature to require insurance companies to cover contraceptives. That’s a lot of fighting.”

Meanwhile, a state budget shortfall of $1.6 billion looms large in Brown’s world—a brand of crisis that would seem familiar to Gov. Roberts, who faced a $1 billion shortfall following the passage of the property tax-limiting bill, Measure 5. Today, Brown has put a number of cost containment strategies in place for state government, in response to the budget deficit.

One thing Brown appears unwilling to compromise on: funding for basic programs for women and children, including cuts to TANFF, (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) employment related day care and child welfare. Support systems such as those, Brown says, help to “lift these families out of poverty and allow them to be productive and thriving in the communities around the state.”

Gov. Barbara Roberts

I

n 2015, women earned 84 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts, according to data from the Pew Research Center. When it comes to the governor’s chair, women hold just 10 percent of the seats in 2017. Still, if you want perspective on the prospects for women not long ago, rewind one generation from Brown’s.

“I was salutatorian in my high school graduating class, and no one ever suggested I should go to college.

No one. Not an advisor, not a teacher, not a parent,” Gov. Barbara Roberts, who served as governor from 1991 to ’95, tells me, when we met at her elegant condo in Portland’s Sellwood neighborhood. It’s an anecdote I’ve also just read about in Roberts’ autobiography, “Up the Capitol Steps,” published in 2011.

“I saw myself being a wife and mother,” Roberts said. Wife and mother she became, marrying her high school sweetheart even before her official high school graduation date.

After her marriage to Neal Sanders, Roberts would give birth to two boys, the elder of whom, Mike, would eventually be sent home from school permanently when teachers were unable to cope with his then-undiagnosed autism. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, with no Americans with Disabilities Act in place, schools were not mandated to provide an education for kids like Mike. Buoyed by support from other parents in similar situations, an eager mother set out to lobby the state legislature to pass a law giving disabled kids the right to an education.

“When I stepped into that role as continued on page 47...

BITES Downward Dog Not Required ByLITTLE Lisa Sipe Sunny Yoga Kitchen serves flavorful lunches in a hidden destination on the west side

by Lisa Sipe

Tough Cookie’s host, Darlene Veenhuizen, wants to inspire women to start their own food ventures by sharing the stories of badass women in food.

Tough Cookie Podcast Celebrates Badass Women in Food

Amy and Courtney Wright own Sunny Yoga Kitchen where they serve up lunch and yoga classes.

I

n the restaurant industry, you don’t often find women at the top. But Sunny Yoga Kitchen stands out with two female owners, Amy and Courtney Wright. The couple has found a way to create a business around both of their passions: cooking and yoga.

Amy runs the kitchen and Courtney runs the front of the house and the yoga classes.

Top, Korean style beef tacos with spicy slaw. Bottom, the Sunny Bowl is the most popular dish — it’s a combination of veggies, garbanzo beans, cilantro and quinoa served over jasmine rice with a coconut curry sauce.

on the left. All fun aside, it requires 14-hour days to offer their four-hour lunch service.

In a world of celebrity chefs and cooking shows selling romance and drama, the reality is, it’s still hard work. If it rains, the chef knows their daily kale delivery will be dirtier and will take more time to prep. The first thing Amy does when she wakes up

Courtney and Amy say the small space makes them more creative, efficient and face. They’ve definitely found a way to keep their tight quarters fun.

Sunny Yoga Kitchen, tucked into Northwest Crossing next to Sparrow Bakery, features a bright 1,000-squarefoot space that transforms throughout the day to accommodate lunch and yoga classes six days a week. And let’s clarify the yoga kitchen thing right now: you don’t have to be a yogi to enjoy a delicious, fresh lunch and vice versa.

Sit down for lunch and it’s clear these women are magicians. They seat 30 and operate out of a 114-square foot kitchen. To put this into perspective, that’s likely to be smaller than your home kitchen. Courtney and Amy say the small space makes them more creative, efficient and fast. They’ve definitely found a way to keep their tight quarters fun. Most of their equipment has a name, such as Becky and Claire the refrigerators, and Danny the dishwasher (not a person). You’ll hear Amy ask, “Can you get me cilantro from Claire?” Claire is the refrigerator

is check the weather. If it’s a bright and warm day and she was planning a soup for the special, she has to come up with something different. No one wants soup when it’s hot.

The team makes almost everything in house, from the sauces to their gluten-free bread, with the freshest, most local ingredients they can find. Their signature pork alone takes hours to prepare. With all of these slow food practices it’s amazing to see guests having food in front of them within 10 to 12 minutes—helpful for lunch diners because they can enjoy a nourishing, tasty sandwich, bowl, salad or fresh juice and still get back to work in a reasonable time frame.

If you think the menu is just for super-health conscious yogis and you’ll go home hungry, don’t worry. I’ve had the lightly spicy and sweet Burmese Pork bowl with jasmine rice and a sunny-side-up egg and felt like I needed an afternoon nap. They are most

known for their aptly named Sunny bowl: a combination of fresh vegetables, garbanzo beans, cilantro and quinoa served over jasmine rice with a coconut curry sauce. The dish embodies SYK; your belly feels nourished, happy and hugged. It’s the same way you feel when you walk in the door.

Bend has some friendly establishments, but Sunny is the warmest, fuzziest you’ll find.

On Fridays, SYK has a happy hour with $5 rotating snacks. When I visited everything on the menu sounded good so I had to order it all. I shared sweet and sour shrimp, spring rolls and a croque madame. We washed it down with $5 glasses of wine and $2.50 beers. And the spring rolls’ peanut sauce was so good I found myself wanting to lick every last bit out of the ramekin.

On a special diet or have food allergies? You’ll find a haven at SYK. Most of the menu is gluten-free and a majority of the menu items can be vegan or vegetarian. SW

Have you ever been in a restaurant and overheard a really interesting conversation? The new Tough Cookie podcast feels like just that. Darlene Veenhuizen of Pickle Jar Studios interviews women in all areas of the food industry, from product makers to chefs, and all the lady bosses in between, about what it’s like to be in business. Her conversational style makes you feel like a fly on the wall, privy to an intimate conversation.

In Tough Cookie’s second episode, Veenhuizen interviews Michelle Mitchell from Humm Kombucha. We learn how Humm started out selling door to door to their neighbors, like a modern milkman. Neighbors would leave empty glass containers on their front porches, sometimes with a payment of cash or check underneath the bottle. It’s refreshing to discover these humble beginnings, because now we see the grown-up Humm selling nationwide.

Listeners will find the podcast inspiring, even if they aren’t in the food industry. And full disclosure: I was interviewed on the first episode, talking with Darlene about building cooking and drinking game mobile apps, the myth of the overnight success and taking risks. I even shared this motivational nugget: “It’s good to remember not to be afraid to try. Our careers are really long, something like over 40 years. That’s a long time to be in the business world... try something.”

Darlene was inspired to create the Tough Cookie podcast after the election. She felt a need for women’s voices to be heard and thought the best way to do this would be to share women’s stories. New episodes of Tough Cookie come out every Wednesday and you can find the podcast online in iTunes and Sound Cloud. SW

Bend Brewsters The scene stands out for its female R&D leaders

Kevin Gifford

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 18 / May 4, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Kevin Gifford

Tonya Cornett of 10 Barrel is at home among the fermenters.

I

t is no longer a great novelty to see women in professional brewing— especially in Oregon, where the sheer size of the scene dictates that at least a few must be involved, statistically speaking. Among Bend’s breweries, though, women still stand out, thanks to the roles they’ve taken as brewmasters focused on research and development.

“I was the unenthused assistant to my husband for a few homebrew batches,” says Tonya Cornett, head of R&D brewing at the 10 Barrel production facility in northeast Bend. “I later read the advanced section of The Complete Joy of Homebrewing (a pioneering book on the subject by Charlie Papazian.) I made a mash-tun that night, brewed my first all grain-batch within a week, and two months later I was working at a brewery.”

That was the H.C. Berger Brewing Company in Colorado (now called the Fort Collins Brewery). Cornett would later put Bend Brewing Company on the map with one of the city’s first standout sour beer programs. She now has her own brew space at 10 Barrel to play with, including a rack full of ciders being aged in assorted types of barrels.

(They’ll see the light of day either at the Galveston brewpub or the new one opening later this spring, next to the big brewery.)

“When designing a new recipe,” she says, “inspiration can come from anywhere. Sometimes it starts with an interesting ingredient like an exotic fruit, or I may create an entire concept from something I already have churning in my mind, like a beer based on Mexican mole sauce.”

Within her company, Cornett is joined by another prominent female

brewer: Whitney Burnside, brewmaster at 10 Barrel’s Portland pub and a veteran of places including Pelican, Elysian and Upright Brewing. Across town, meanwhile, Veronica Vega joined Deschutes Brewery as a tour guide in 2006 and is now their R&D brewmaster, after having contributed to wellknown beers such as Fresh Squeezed while working the brewpub’s pilot system.

Women have been involved with brewing since ancient Sumerian and Egyptian times, when baking and brewing (often done with the same ingredients) were considered part of a housewife’s daily workload. The last name “Brewster” literally means “female brewer” and in medieval England, usually referred to the head of a tavern. The rise of larger brew businesses, and the men who wielded the money and authority to lead them, relegated many women to selling beer instead of making it—but craft beer, as well as groups including the Pink Boots Society, do much to even the playing field again.

“I believe that women just need to be shown that this is a very realistic career option for them,” Burnside notes. “The fact that I got into beer via food”—she began her career as a cheesemaker outside Seattle—“just goes to show you that it can happen organically.”

Vega agrees: “Deschutes is a big company, and they do a lot to encourage diversity across all of its departments. That’s always been the case in my career, and in events like the Craft Brewers Conference, you see lots of women getting involved these days. It’s still rapidly expanding.” SW

Chapter One: Agriculture Detroit, Mich, has quickly begun working toward becoming a food sovereign city, with 1,600 urban farms located throughout the metropolis.

On average, food travels 1,500 miles from where it’s grown to where it’s consumed, which continues the cycle of massive amounts of carbon emissions. Cities across the globe have begun committing to growing most of their own food locally. There are still 6,000 acres of wasteland in Detroit that farmers are looking at for more urban farms.

Chapter Two: Energy In this section the film asks if we could realistically exist without oil and

focuses on how countries around the world have found innovative ways to use renewable energy such as wind, water and solar power. The water cycle of the Earth is changing because of global emissions, so cities including Copenhagen have switched to burning biomass instead of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, 67 percent of the population of Copenhagen lives without an automobile. The local government focuses on creating infrastructure that promotes walking and biking. By 2025, the city will be entirely self-sufficient in regard to clean energy.

Chapter 3: Economy This section introduces the idea of Ecolonomy: saving money while staying green, re-localizing economies and treating currencies like ecosystems that need diversity. Monetary monocultures have caused 208 financial crises since 1970, according to the

film, positing that when the primary function of a business or corporation is serving shareholders, the business will never focus on existing inside of its environment in a way that isn’t disruptive.

Chapter Four: Democracy Iceland’s people protested so tirelessly against their financial institutions and corrupt government practices that the Prime Minister and his entire cabinet resigned, proving that a real and functioning democracy is something that can still exist in this world. That November, 25 citizens were elected to write a new constitution. Their main theme: “How can we make our representatives responsible for what they do and how can we keep our government transparent?”

bastion for education. The country puts so much effort into making sure education is a priority that it makes the American education system look profoundly depressing. Their systems teach children how to learn so they can become more autonomous and free thinking.

“Tomorrow” is unlike any documentary I’ve ever seen. The entire film can be summed up in the idea that we’re all in this together. As soon as an environment, whether it be financial, biological or agricultural, stops working within its constraints, then it is doomed to fail. We’re all in this together, whether we like it or not, so maybe it’s time we finally act like it. SW

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 18 / May 4, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

t the beginning of “Tomorrow,” a new environmental documentary by French filmmakers Mélanie Laurent and Cyril Dion, the message seems incredibly alarmist. The filmmakers bring in a pair of scientists who say that we have 20 years to start turning things around when it comes to climate change or else the world will face another extinction-level event.

However once they’re finished explaining the stakes, the rest of the film’s running time is spent seeking solutions in a genuinely helpful way. Most documentaries focus on important questions, allowing the audience to seek out the answers, but “Tomorrow” exists to give its viewers choices about their future instead of frightening them into change.

The film is broken down into five chapters, set in a number of global locations.

fter “Pulp Fiction” came out in 1994, action films were basically reinvented for years to come. As soon as Quentin Tarantino unleashed his masterpiece, filmmakers attempted to capture that same lightning in a bottle by making movies combining sudden violence with characters spouting pop-culture heavy dialogue over hyper-stylized imagery.

Films including “Things to do in Denver When You’re Dead,” “8 Heads in a Duffel Bag,” “2 Days in the Valley,” “Go,” “The Big Hit,” “Love and a .45” and dozens more tried so hard to capitalize on the new cinematic movement that for years the entire genre felt completely facile. While some of the Tarantino-esque copies were pretty entertaining, none of them were game changers in the same way “Pulp Fiction” was.

“Free Fire” is a throwback to those mid-’90s Tarantino knockoffs, but also manages to feel like an homage to gritty 1970s crime dramas such as “The French Connection” and “The Conversation.” Even though the film wears its influences proudly on its sleeves, “Free Fire” isn’t interested in winking at the audience and celebrating how much fun everyone should be having. It has a story it wants to tell and doesn’t waste a second telling it.

A small group of IRA (Irish Republican Army) fighters meets some arms dealers in an old abandoned umbrella warehouse in order to buy some guns.

One of the sellers has a beef with one of the buyers from a drunken evening the night before and everything spirals violently out of control. That’s it.

Within 20 minutes, everyone is shooting at everyone else and bleeding like crazy from minor wounds all over their bodies while shouting profane and goofy dialogue across the massive warehouse floor.

Director Ben Wheatley is destined for greatness. Over the last few years, he has become an original voice without once coming even close to repeating himself. “Kill List” mashed up a violent hit man movie with a nightmare-inducing cult flick, and “High Rise” felt like a hybrid of the bad dreams of David Cronenberg and Stanley Kubrick. Wheatley’s masterpiece is still “A Field in England,” a psychedelic historic horror war movie about a few soldiers tripping on mushrooms in a field that will warp your mind inside out.

I’m calling it now: a decade from now, Wheatley will be one of the most respected directors on the planet.

“Free Fire” doesn’t reach the heights of “Pulp Fiction” or even some of its imitators, but it’s an extremely entertaining ride. The film’s biggest issue comes from the thinly drawn characters who don’t have much motivation outside of wanting to leave the warehouse alive with guns or money. Great actors including Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Armie Hammer and a scene stealing Jack Reynor help add a bit of classiness to the proceedings.

Even though “Free Fire” really shouldn’t work, it mostly manages to be a memorable action movie. It won’t win any awards, but it’s not really after that. The entire movie is Ben Wheatley’s attempt to prove he can sustain a gun fight for over an hour without it becoming boring or repetitive. With that, ‘90s action/comedy lovers have something to rejoice in again. SW

OUTSIDE Tough Contender

Pole Pedal Paddle race tips from longtime competitor Lauri Powers By: K. M. Collins

Picking a Partner The PPP can be run as a single, double or as a team. Powers prefers the double, because with the single experience, it’s many sports with many pieces of gear, making for a logistical

nightmare. On a team, meanwhile, you might only get to run one leg of the race, and she believes you might miss out on some of the experience, particularly the topographic and ecologic transitions from mountain to river.

If you do go the team route, Powers suggests teams be well-rounded.

miling uncontrollably at Riverbend Park, the paddle leg put-in for the U.S. Bank Pole Pedal Paddle, Lauri Powers lays out her hand-crafted clay chalices. Only the top three finishers in each class of the multi-sport race earn a chalice, but unlike some winners, Powers says: “My mugs aren’t displayed, they are my daily drinkers.”

Powers, a specialist for the High Desert Education Service District, insists she is part of the “common folk” contingency in the grueling race, and not a professional athlete. “This is why I love the PPP. No matter what your athletic background, the whole race is really accessible to all athletes,” she says. “Many participants win mugs.

And they all look the same no matter the category.”

Since 1992, Powers has competed in Bend’s most cherished multi-sport race more than 15 times. The race starts at Mount Bachelor with alpine ski and Nordic ski stretches, then on to cycling and running legs, a paddle on the Deschutes River, and a sprint to the finish. With so many sports in one race, she says there are many variables and it’s not always an elite athlete who wins the PPP. Ahead of this year’s race, Powers shared the insider tips and tricks that have given her a competitive edge over the years.

says. “How you dressed mattered, how you groomed mattered, everything mattered. I mean, John Kitzhaber could wear blue jeans all he wanted.

I could not do that. I couldn’t even wear slacks. I got criticized for wearing slacks on the campaign, even when I was at a forest fire.

“I always felt I carried an extra burden, if you will, as a woman candidate, to be honest and to be ethical, because I set the example not just for me but I set the example for every other woman who was running, and for every little girl who watched us run.” — BARBARA ROBERTS Roberts went on to run for the Parkrose School Board, and then the Mt. Hood Community College board, a short stint as an appointed Multnomah County Commissioner, and a run for the state House. Like many other women, Roberts says, women often start their political engagement in a school, or on a school board, galvanized by an issue related to their kids.

“My son often tells people, ‘If it weren’t for me my mother never would have been governor,’ and we all laugh, but the truth is, that’s the truth,” Roberts said. “I was a single woman, my husband ran away with my best friend—it was a B grade movie—and I had two kids, no child support, no college education, and out of that experience in the Legislature my life began to change.”

After serving in the state House as House Majority Leader, Roberts—who had by then married longtime state legislator Frank Roberts—tackled yet another hurdle: becoming the first Democrat in 110 years to win the Secretary of State position—next in line for the Governor’s spot. After six years in the seat, then-Governor Neil Goldschmidt gave her a couple days “heads up” that he was likely not to run again, leaving the door open for Roberts to break Oregon’s biggest glass ceiling.

It was a glass ceiling that came with many double standards, Roberts now says.

“I think I had a higher standard set for me by others, as well as myself, because people wanted you to be badder, they expected that you were going to be a dirty campaigner, that you couldn’t use a cuss word in public,” she

Roberts reflects.

These days, Roberts, now 80, still maintains a brisk schedule of public appearances. This political season she’s especially excited about the school board races in Woodburn and Salem-Keizer, where four Latino candidates are on the ballot. In the case of the race for the Salem-Keizer school board, Roberts hopes to see the first-ever Latino board member elected this season. She recently spoke at a rally in support of the candidates.

“The community is in such a fear place right now, that whenever they gather in big numbers, there’s some threat, and so they hoped that my being there would get people to come out and not be afraid,” Roberts said.

Days ago it was a rally in Salem. The day after our meeting, it was marching in an Autism Awareness Day walk.

Whether former or current governor, the schedule stays full—something that Roberts believes our new president shouldn’t be surprised about. Last week, the president said of his job that he hadn’t imagined it to be so hard. “if you’ve never held a public office, you don’t know how hard it can be,” Roberts says, wisdom lacing her tone.

“Even a school board office can be pretty hard. You make decisions for people’s lives and it’s hard. And the dramatic weight on the shoulders of a President of the United States, the health of a nation, the safety of a nation, the courts systems, the corrections, the environment, all of that is on your shoulders. And that’s hard.” SW

a part-time lobbyist, unpaid, inexperienced, scared as hell… when I stepped into that role, the likelihood of my ever being able to get a bill passed, I can’t tell you how poor the odds were.

They were pretty poor. But sometimes you discover your strengths when you have to use them,” Roberts now says.

Against the odds, and amid a divorce, her bill was successful.

“My son got an education, I got a whole new path for my future, I found I could make a difference in the political process, I could change people’s lives and directions.”

sales, but there will not be buyers for them. He cites the affordability issue, but also notes the changes in buying preferences for millennials. He states that many younger buyers prefer urban housing such as condos or townhouses rather than suburban McMansions.

Nelson originally predicted the massive sellout would occur about 2020 and has since revised his forecast to the mid or late 2020’s.

Other analysts disagree that there will be a glut of housing, as many people who grew up in suburbs are likely to want to do the same, and affordability may make suburban living their only option. While there is disagreement and speculation, most analysts do agree that more housing needs to built for the millennial buyer. The Harvard study projects that in the year 2035, 90 percent of buyers will be under 35 or 70 and over, and both of these populations tend to lean toward less square footage. Nelson states that developers and government need to anticipate these changes and build houses that will meet the needs of the future.

49 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 18 / May 4, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

here have been several recent articles in industry literature on the possibility of our next housing crisis occurring as baby boomers sell off their homes en masse. Other literature sees this as a good thing, saying that this will open up the starter home inventory for millennial buyers.

A recent report from the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies states that millennials are not limited by a lack of desire, but a lack of affordability. Many will be approaching their mid-40s in the next decade and it is hoped they will catch up with historical home ownership trends.

The big question is, given the state of affairs with rising prices and student loan debt, whether they will be able to catch up and afford homeownership, and whether the predicted sellout by boomers will materialize. Some studies suggest that boomers will end up staying in their homes longer and likely remodeling for their changing needs instead of moving, while others predict en masse selloff of boomer homes.

Arthur C. Nelson, a professor at the University of Arizona, theorizes that there will be a glut of senior housing

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Swarm Fuzzies

I got in an argument with my boyfriend about the reason not to have sex outside our relationship. He said he wouldn’t do it because he wouldn’t want to hurt me. I said he shouldn’t want to be with anybody else, but he said that’s just not realistic for guys. Are men really just these unfeeling sex machines?

—Dismayed

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / May 4, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

50

Male sexuality is about as sentimental as an oar.

In fact, if there’s one secret guys try to keep from women, it’s this: A man can really love a woman and still want to spend the afternoon wrecking the bed with her BFF, her well-preserved mom and her sister.

As awful as that probably sounds, men’s evolved lust for sexual variety isn’t something you and other women should take personally. Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt explain that genetically speaking, it’s generally in a man’s interest to pursue a “short-term sexual strategy” — pounce and bounce, coitus and, um, avoid us — with as many women as possible.

This isn’t to say men evolved to be entirely without discernment. Because “beautiful” features (like pillowy lips and an

hourglass bod) reflect health and fertility, if a man has a choice in casual sexmates, he’ll go for a hot woman, but if he doesn’t, he’ll go for a woman with a pulse.

However, Buss and Schmitt explain that there are times when it’s to a man’s advantage to pursue a “long-term sexual strategy” — commitment to one woman. It’s a quality-over-quantity strategy — wanting a woman with “high mate value” (one who’s physically and psychologically desirable enough to hold out for a guy who’ll commit).

Other factors include seeking the emotional, social and cooperative benefits of a partnership and wanting to retire from the time-, energy-, and resource-suck of working the ladies on Match.com like a second job.

In light of this, think about what your Amy Alkon boyfriend’s really telling you by opting for “Honey, where do I sign away my sexual freedom?” This isn’t dismaying, degrading, or any of the other bummer D-words. In fact, it’s really romantic, considering that men evolved to be sexual foragers. But for your boyfriend’s desire to make a life with you, he could be wandering the planet and sharing his life and hopes and dreams — uh, for about six minutes and 23 seconds — with a wide variety of oiled-up naked strangers.

ASTROLOGY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When poet Wislawa

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Would you consider enrolling in my Self-Pity Seminar? If so, you would learn that obsessing on self-pity is a means to an end, not a morass to get lost in. You would feel sorry for yourself for brief, intense periods so that you could feel proud and brave the rest of the time. For a given period — let’s say three days — you would indulge and indulge and indulge in self-pity until you entirely exhausted that emotion. Then you’d be free to engage in an orgy of self-healing, self-nurturing, and self-celebration. Ready to get started?

Ruminate about the ways that people don’t fully appreciate you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In a typical conversation, most of us utter too many “uhs,” “likes,” “I means,” and “you knows.” I mean, I’m sure that . . . uh . . . you’ll agree that, like, what’s the purpose of, you know, all that pointless noise? But I have some good news to deliver about your personal use of language in the coming weeks, Cancerian.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to dramatically lower your reliance on needless filler. But wait, there’s more: Clear thinking and precise speech just might be your superpowers. As a result, your powers of persuasion should intensify. Your ability to advocate for your favorite causes may zoom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1668, England named John Dryden its first Poet Laureate. His literary influence was so monumental that the era in which he published was known as the Age of Dryden. Twentieth-century poetry great T. S. Eliot said he was “the ancestor of nearly all that is best in the poetry of the eighteenth century.” Curiously, Dryden had a low opinion of Shakespeare. “Scarcely intelligible,” he called the Bard, adding, “His whole style is so pestered with figurative expressions that it is as affected as it is coarse.” I foresee a comparable clash of titans in your sphere, Leo. Two major influences may fight it out for supremacy. One embodiment of beauty may be in competition with another. One powerful and persuasive force could oppose another. What will your role be? Mediator? Judge? Neutral observer? Whatever it is, be cagey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Just this once, and for a limited time only, you have cosmic clearance to load up on sugary treats, leave an empty beer can in the woods, watch stupid TV shows and act uncool in front of the Beautiful People. Why? Because being totally well-behaved and perfectly composed and strictly pure would compromise your mental health more than being naughty. Besides, if you want to figure out what you are on the road to becoming, you will need to know more about what you’re not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In addition to fashion tips, advice for the broken-hearted, midlife-crisis support, and career counseling, I sometimes provide you with more mystical help. Like now. So if you need nuts-and-bolts guidance, I hope you’ll have the sense to read a more down-to-earth horoscope.

What I want to tell you is that the metaphor of resurrection is your featured theme. You should assume that it’s somehow the answer to every question. Rejoice in the knowledge that although a part of you has died, it will be reborn in a fresh guise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Are you ready for the genie’s favors? Don’t rub the magic lamp unless you are.” That’s the message I saw on an Instagram meme. I immediately thought of you. The truth is

that up until recently, you have not been fully prepared for the useful but demanding gifts the genie could offer you. You haven’t had the self-mastery necessary to use the gifts as they’re meant to be used, and therefore they were a bit dangerous to you. But that situation has changed. Although you may still not be fully primed, you’re as ready as you can be. That’s why I say: RUB THE MAGIC LAMP!

BEND 51

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have heard the exhortation “Follow your bliss!”, which was popularized by mythologist Joseph Campbell. After studying the archetypal stories of many cultures throughout history, he concluded that it was the most important principle driving the success of most heroes. Here’s another way to say it: Identify the job or activity that deeply excites you, and find a way to make it the center of your life. In his later years, Campbell worried that too many people had misinterpreted “Follow your bliss” to mean “Do what comes easily.” That’s all wrong, he said.

Anything worth doing takes work and struggle.

“Maybe I should have said, ‘Follow your blisters,’” he laughed. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you are now in an intense “Follow your blisters” phase of following your bliss.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The versatile artist Melvin Van Peebles has enjoyed working as a filmmaker, screenwriter, actor, composer, and novelist. One of his more recent efforts was a collaboration with the experimental band The Heliocentrics. Together they created a science-fiction-themed spoken-word poetry album titled The Last Transmission. Peebles told NPR, “I haven’t had so much fun with clothes on in years.” If I’m reading the planetary omens correctly Capricorn, you’re either experiencing that level of fun, or will soon be doing so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In what ways do you most resemble your mother? Now is a good time to take inventory. Once you identify any momlike qualities that tend to limit your freedom or lead you away from your dreams, devise a plan to transform them. You may never be able to defuse them entirely, but there’s a lot you can do to minimize the mischief they cause. Be calm but calculating in setting your intention, Aquarius! P.S.: In the course of your inventory, you may also find there are ways you are like your mother that are of great value to you.

Is there anything you could do to more fully develop their potential?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “We are what we imagine,” writes Piscean author N. Scott Momaday.

“Our very existence consists in our imagination of ourselves. Our best destiny is to imagine who and what we are. The greatest tragedy that can befall us is to go unimagined.” Let’s make this passage your inspirational keynote for the coming weeks. It’s a perfect time to realize how much power you have to create yourself through the intelligent and purposeful use of your vivid imagination. (P.S. Here’s a further tip, this time from Cher: “All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.”)

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Beware of feeling sorry for sharks that yell for help. Beware of trusting coyotes that act like sheep and sheep that act like coyotes. Beware of nibbling food from jars whose contents are different from what their labels suggest. But wait! “Beware” is not my only message for you. I have these additional announcements: Welcome interlopers if they’re humble and look you in the eyes. Learn all you can from predators and pretenders without imitating them. Take advantage of any change that’s set in motion by agitators who shake up the status quo, even if you don’t like them.

Szymborska delivered her speech for winning the Nobel Prize, she said that “whatever else we might think of this world — it is astonishing.” She added that for a poet, there really is no such thing as the “ordinary world,” “ordinary life,” and “the ordinary course of events.”

In fact, “Nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone’s existence in this world.”

I offer you her thoughts, Taurus, because I believe that in the next two weeks you will have an extraordinary potential to feel and act on these truths. You are hereby granted a license to be astonished on a regular basis.

produced an event last week called “Toke Talks,” and while I used the magic that is social media (#pleasecometomyeventorIwilldie), I also recognize that not every single person with an interest in cannabis is on Facebook or Instagram. While I’m no Luddite, some people actually get their information through analog channels—and few things are as analog as pole postering. It’s been a while since I’ve done it, but I grabbed a stack of 500 11x17 posters, two boxes of staples and an industrial staple gun and hit the mean streets. I did this for three days, and my FitBit (shut up, it was a gift) calculated that I had walked nearly 40 miles in that time. Good for me, but hauling a 20+ pound bag around resulted in attempted aggravated murder on my back and legs. I’ve never had back pain that made every step a new stereophonic experience in agony. I vaped a combo of strains, but wasn’t getting much in the way of relief. (But high?

Yes, I was getting high.)

So it reframes the term “fortuitous timing” that one day into my excursion into Painville, I had a package delivered by Leif Goods (formerly Leif Medicinals) with two of their new products, the oh so Northwestern-named Field Balm, and Wood Balm under the new brand name Physic.

I’ve tried a wide variety of topical cannabis products with some mixed results, although two standouts— Luminous Botanicals and Empower oils—have never let me down. And Lord knows I have a soft spot in my heart for the edibles that Leif produces. But this was some serious pain, and I questioned if the balms would be able to help, as I was at the stage where an opioid pill might be my best shot of finding some relief.

First off, they look great. The packaging and presentation is beautiful.

They also smell great, and if I had been

a tad more stoned, I would have tried eating them, as the Field Balm has lavender and bergamot, while the Wood Balm has cedarwood and orange.

Their website breaks it down, saying the products are 100 percent organic, plant-based, bee free and vegan. (Which is great, as nothing throws off a topical like finding out it’s filled with dead bees, or worse, live bees.)

They contain the addition of arnica flower and aromatherapeutic essential oils. Arnica flower is a strong topical pain reliever I’ve used in other non-cannabis products, so I had some hope. They state that they are good for both skin conditions such as eczema, dry skin and mild irritations, and the aforementioned pain relief.

I slathered some on, and wincingly made my way to my couch. A few minutes passed and I started to feel a mild relaxation in my muscles. About 10 minutes later, I stood up without making wounded coyote sounds. Within the hour, I was able to navigate stairs with a laundry basket.

One thing they did not do was get me high. In my experience, that’s one of the most common misperceptions about cannabis topicals, that a liberal application is going to get you stoned.

I had zero impairment, and continued a liberal application every hour for the balance of the day.

The next morning I was able to regain mobility, and the stabbing pain had been downgraded to a mild ache.

I stuck with hourly applications, along with vaping some high CBD flower. By the morning of the third day, I had no issues with my back.

While I hope to never need them again, I plan to keep some on hand for friends and family with chronic pain issues. And God as my witness, I will never pole poster again.
