ENDORSEMENTS ROUNDUP The May 2017 Special Election is nearly here. Here’s a roundup of the candidates we’ve endorsed this election season. Visit BendSource.com to see the endorsement interview videos we did with each of the candidates in these contested local races.

Measure 9-114: YES

Dr. Stuart Young

Ted Schoenborn

Administrative School District No 1: Bonds for New Schools, Safety

Administrative School District 1, Zone 4 (Bend-La Pine School

Bend Park and Recreation Director Zone 4

Improvements, Classroom Renovations and Preservation

Board)

Bend is poised for more growth in the years to come, and, school population sizes are growing as well. Students at area high schools are already experiencing overcrowding, so building a new high school and a new elementary school will ease some of that burden.

In addition, the bond’s funds will go toward safety and efficiency improvements that can save taxpayers money in the long run. The fact that this funding will be audited for efficiency is a good thing, too. To anyone who cares about the career-readiness of our local workforce and the ability of our young people to grow and thrive, voting Yes should be a no-brainer.

Cheri Helt Administrative School District Zone 1 (Bend-La Pine School Board) Helt, owner of Zydeco restaurant in downtown Bend, and the incumbent in this race, has been a strong advocate for Bend-La Pine Schools at the state level—something we’ll continue to expect from her in tough budgetary times.

Make no mistake, both candidates in this race—which also includes former school administrator Richard Asadoorian—are highly qualified and would bring a wealth of knowledge that can be beneficial to the work of a school board. We want them both to serve, but when forced to choose just one candidate, we’re opting for the incumbent, since he’ll require less onboarding to get up and running with the many tasks this board faces.

Incumbent Ted Schoenborn offers a wealth of experience to the board, having already served for 14 years. He has overseen the expansion of 20 miles of trails and maintenance of more than 40 parks—all within budget, he says.

With a vision for serving the wider community, be it seniors, youth or trail users, we believe he’s the best choice in this race.

OPINION Letters

BEND-LA PINE SCHOOL BOARD BOND MAY 16

We cannot “rob Peter to pay Paul” by cutting our teaching force back and increase teacher-to-student ratios to astronomical levels in order to fix aged roofs and build new schools. Vote YES for the Bend-La Pine Schools construction bond and keep teachers in the classroom, drivers in our buses and staff in our schools, where they belong.

— Linda English On May 16th, Bend voters will once again vote on whether to pass a new school bond for the Bend LaPine district, a $268.3 MILLION Bond. The importance of a public education system has been acknowledged since the days of Jefferson and without adequate funding such a system can falter. The voters of Bend have time and time again answered this call by passing school bond issues.

Now it is time for the school board/ district to answer the call of the people of Bend. You ask for $268.3 MILLION, we ask for TROY FIELD, free and clear. We

CONTROLLED BURNS — A SAFETY HAZARD On the night of Wednesday, May 3, I opened various windows in my house to cool it off in preparation for a 86-degree Thursday. In the morning, I awoke just short of coughing and choking from the smoke that filled my house from the "controlled burn" miles away.

At the age of 82, such a situation can be deadly serious. What is the Forest Service thinking? Such controlled burns release all the carbon dioxide that the vegetation has impounded and thus contribute to the climate catastrophe.

Would it be so difficult for the Forest Service to use a chipper that might be able to turn that foliage into pellets or burnable fire logs so that they would at least be used?

Seems like even chipping it up and returning it to the ground as fertilizer would be better than burning it. Why can't the government act ecologically? I know, at the moment it's because of Resident Rump, but he's temporary. The only war that needs to be fought is the one against the climate catastrophe, and we are losing it big time.

A characteristic that defines a high-quality community is its support for its public schools and the Bend La Pine Schools has enjoyed tremendous backing. Our community continually sends the message that we care about the quality of education for our young people and the environment in which they learn. When students know that the community supports them, they excel. And our students consistently demonstrate that they achieve at high levels. Their successes come, in part, from strong community support.

To maintain those successes, the school board has thoughtfully and wisely studied the learning environment within our schools. With the constant growth of our area and the need to protect our longterm investment in our schools, the school district has proposed the most urgent items – two new schools to address growth and high-priority, high-cost maintenance items that are beyond normal operating budgets.

The population within the school district is growing rapidly and will continue to do so. Having the capacity to meet the demand is critical. And, like any responsible property owner, investing in maintaining the integrity of buildings is also critical.

When students learn in well maintained facilities that are not overcrowded, the learning environment is maximized and teachers are able to effectively teach.

Please join me in voting yes on the May 16th Bend La Pine Schools bond issue to send the message that we value education and will continue the long tradition of support for our students.

ask that Troy Field be given to the people of the City of Bend, now and forever, so that it may remain as it is a simple, undeveloped little space in the heart of town that is loved and used by our community.

The school board has cited the need of the sale of Troy Field as essential to help with their funding needs, and if it were not for the outcry and concerted actions from our community members over the past two years, Troy Field would now be on its way to becoming luxury apartments or a parking lot. Last year our community was successful in making its purchase too “hot” for one Portland developer, but we have no guarantee that the school board will not take up its aggressive campaign to sell Troy Field in the future. The school board spent thousands on legal council and repeatedly ignored the wishes of the community that so richly supports it both in finance and in volunteer works. I say now is the time for the BLSD to show concrete support for the community it serves.

I believe there exists a relatively simple solution. The school board/district can vote to donate Troy Field to the People of Bend and Bend City Council will create and vote to support a binding resolution that will keep Troy from development (even from inclusion into the 20-year-old Heritage Square plan). There already exists a grassroots framework to develop the management/maintenance plan.

Before you cast your ballot to support this bond issue and before you cast your ballot for district school board positions, ask that Troy Field be given to the people of Bend.

Differing Surveys; Differing Results Results mixed on Deschutes River Trail Bridge

By Nicole Vulcan

te e si ridg pos ed b Pro

In an April poll, conducted for BPRD, 72% of park district residents responded that they supported building a bridge across the Deschutes.

removing the rule prohibiting bridge construction.

According to the rules governing state scenic waterways, owners of property within ¼ of a mile of a scenic waterway have to give notice to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department before they can take actions such as “cutting of trees, mining, construction of roads, railroads, utilities, buildings, or other structures,” according to the Oregon State Parks website. The rules also state: “New bridges will not be permitted.” If Oregon Parks decided to change that bridge rule, however, the process could move forward.

In Whisnant’s May 2 legislative update, he said of HB 2027: “I was concerned that the proposal to build a bridge over a specific portion of the Deschutes River would undermine scenic waterway protections in favor of a more direct route for a pedestrian trail.

I also learned that “eminent domain” may be used to make this happen.”

Bend Park and Recreation Director Don Horton responded to the Source’s inquiries about the “eminent domain” question with this: “The District’s preference is, and has always been to negotiate property acquisitions in good faith. Like many special districts and government agencies in Oregon and elsewhere, the District has the legal authority to use the power of Eminent Domain (aka, condemnation). However, to date the District has never exercised the use of condemnation. Only the Board can authorize condemnation proceedings and there has been no direction from them to use Eminent Domain for this or any other segment of the Deschutes River Trail.”

The park board’s proposed bridge site is located on federal land, and Horton says they’ve received a signed Letter of Intent with the landowner to “negotiate for the trail rightof-way needed on his property to connect with the bridge.” Horton says BPRD has considered using eminent domain only once, during the completion of the Larkspur Trail, and was able to successfully negotiate with the landowner before the case when to condemnation court.

When HB 2027 went up for a vote in the House, Rep. Knute Buehler (R-Bend) voted in favor. Members of his staff took part in the early development of the bill, he said.

“We worked on it some and it looked like it was going to be difficult and would take a lot of time, so we didn’t pursue it,” Buehler told the Source Weekly May 5. “Rep. Whisnant was the one who had a particular interest, so he’s the one who did most of the work on it.”

In response to public comments that have pointed out the discrepancy between allowing large homes along the river and meanwhile, a concern about environmental protections over the river, Buehler said, “I think it’s a very different issue with regards to homes which have been there for decades versus a bridge across the pristine area of the Deschutes that’s in a wild and scenic area. I think it’s really apples and oranges.”

Whisnant, meanwhile, says he’s not categorically against the completion of the trail.

“I was asked to sponsor this bill by constituents and I agreed to do just that—not to prevent a trail,” Whisnant wrote in his legislative update.

Competing Survey Results Meanwhile, a number of surveys and public input inquiries paint a varying picture about what the public wants.

Oregon Parks & Rec formed an advisory committee, the Upper Deschutes Advisory Group, to survey stakeholders and the public, starting last October. Over a six-month period, the UDAG reports it met with BPRD, Deschutes County, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Deschutes National Forest and neighborhood associations in the area surrounding the bridge, as well as holding public meetings through April 5.

On May 5, Community Solutions of Central Oregon presented a Final Report on the findings of the UDAG to Oregon Parks & Rec. The report states that during public meetings, 10 of 88 responding attendees “openly advocated for a pedestrian bridge for reasons that included recreation access, convenience, transportation and fire safety.”

But in crowdsourced polls, the report says more than 81 percent of respondents advocated for “increased waterway protections” or “emphasized limiting further development in and around State Scenic Waterway corridor in general, subsegment 4G (the proposed bridge site) specifically.” Of the property owners within one mile of subsegment 4G, 25 percent “identified concerns for private property protections in the form of suggested rules prohibiting trespassing, limiting recreational trails.”

BPRD, meanwhile, shared the initial results of a survey of 532 park district residents, conducted by the ETC Institute on behalf of BPRD in April.

The final results will be available in June, but ETC shared some results at the BPRD board meeting May 2.

One question was aimed at gauging “public support for building a bridge across the Deschutes River at the South UGB,” Horton told the Source Weekly.

“Results of the survey indicated that 72 percent of the respondents were “very supportive” or “somewhat supportive” and 14 percent were “not supportive” or “not at all supportive” of completing a footbridge crossing over the Deschutes River. Fifteen percent were neutral,” Horton told us.

When ETC cross-tabulated the results against which quadrant of the city survey respondents lived in, Horton said, there was “no significant difference in the level of support.” SW

n April, state Rep. Gene Whisnant (R-Sunriver) amended House Bill 2027 from its original language to, according to the current bill’s summary, prohibit “person, public body or local service district from constructing bridge on Deschutes River within certain segments of Deschutes Scenic Waterway.” The bill was approved by the Oregon House April 27 and scheduled for a Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources hearing May 10.

The bill was puzzling to some— including members of the Bend Park and Recreation District—who contend that the pedestrian footbridge was a part of the 2012 Parks bond measure— which voters supported—in order to connect the communities of Tumalo and Sunriver via the Deschutes River Trail. BPRD had asked the Oregon State Parks and Recreation department to review the rules on that section of the river, with the goal of

ign for your lane! Get a free beer!”

Those were the shouts from enthusiastic Bend Bike volunteers last week, petitioning community members and sharing active transport ideas in an effort to raise awareness of the new proposed Bend city budget. If approved, the 2017-19 biennium budget would see increased funding for bike lanes, greenways and pedestrian crossings.

“We’re trying to promote cycling as not only a recreational activity but a transportation option by improving cycling conditions within our city,” says Nick Stevenson, president of Bend Bikes, a nonprofit spearheading grassroots efforts to sway city council members in favor of the proposed city budget—one the group says would inject millions of dollars towards improving active transportation throughout the city.

Growing street congestion: Opportunities for biking and walking As the Bend metropolitan area's population increases by a projected 30 percent in the next 10 years, officials from the City of Bend are shifting from planning projects to implementation—and in the meantime, rethinking transportation initiatives. A proposed $22.3 million transportation package would address not only the growing pressure on improving existing infrastructure — including fixing potholes and repaving streets — but also implement new active transport models. Bendites could see increased dedicated bike lanes, neighborhood greenways and pedestrian coordinators that could potentially ease congestion in high volume areas.

Eric King, City Manager, wrote in the proposed 2017-19 biennium budget: “Transportation needs have outpaced available funding. More creative and community supported solutions are needed to move people and products more efficiently.”

Rory Rowan, a project engineer for the City of Bend, was hired specifically for these creative solutions and transportation projects that improve travel by foot, bike and mobility devices. He stresses that the initiatives are inclusive, and shies away from using words he considers inflammatory. “I try to use words like people walking, people biking, because that’s what we are, we are people using active transportation options.

It isn’t drivers versus cyclists or pedestrians. It’s people trying to move around the city safely and efficiently. We try to serve everybody.”

On the horizon: Neighborhood greenways

Rowan oversees many of the city’s projects and emphasizes the need for community collaboration. Making Bend Safer by Design is a city program using a community-driven approach to design ideas in a comfortable and safe way. They currently have at least nine projects listed on their website, saferbydesignbend.com. Rowan supports Bend Bikes' ideas of neighborhood greenways and protected bike lanes and points to a demonstration in 2016 that was put on by the group and Bend 2030, which resulted in a permanent protected bike lane on Wall Street. The importance of neighborhood greenways — roads that feature traffic calming devices such as speed bumps, bike lanes and signage — make walking and biking more comfortable and safer and therefore more enjoyable.

Among Bend Bikes' desired initiatives is a 30-day greenway demonstration that would take place on NW 15th Street. Inspired by Bend Open Streets, an event organized by Commute Options last September, the demo would showcase the benefits of greenways for Bend. In addition, NE Sixth Street, east of Third Street, is another possible greenway site.

Advocates say the cost would be pennies on the dollar compared to multi-million dollar transportation projects, such as the proposed $5.2 million funding for street preservation in the upcoming budget. “We’re not talking much here to implement low-cost, safe and comfortable routes for people of all ages and abilities,” says Rowan. “...the City has spent approximately $1 million total over the last two years to directly benefit walking and biking.

“This includes the construction of hundreds of curb ramps, several thousand feet of sidewalk, some minor pavement marking changes such as adding bike lanes as part of re-paving on 3rd Street between Greenwood and Burnside, and the design of several projects that construction is planned for in the next two year budget (e.g. safety crossings, new sidewalk corridors, etc).

“So then you have families that are comfortable going to Juniper or going to the grocery store, or they’re comfortable letting their kids getting out there and playing because now there are things like traffic calming mechanisms that have made this an identifiable route that has made it have less traffic.

It is a more active route for transportation.”

City Manager King noted the need for designated funds for transport in his budget proposal, acknowledging the recent harsh winters that have left Bend streets in less-than-desirable shape. He wrote, “Many of the efforts to improve the transportation

system, such as additional street preservation funding, are being accomplished through use of one-time revenues and reserves or reductions to central services and are not sustainable solutions. The shortterm strategies included in the proposed budget are aimed at building the community support needed for more longterm, sustainable solutions to Bend’s transportation challenges.”

City Council: Not all in agreement

This temporary protected bike lane ran in front of the Deschutes County Circuit Court House in 2016 as part of a demonstration.

Not all agree, however, with the proposed goals. Councilor Bill Moseley, elected to the city council last November, thinks the budget is too vague and needs specifically-outlined projects.

“The proposed budget, including the blended (transportation) approach, was established without goals in mind," Moseley said. "My opposition derives from a process that spends money without trying to accomplish specific, agreed-upon goals.” He cites a lack of prior insight, noting, “Bend progresses day-by-day toward disaster," he says. "Bend’s problems are also not a consequence of money shortfalls. They are the result of poor planning. Our city needs clear goals and then to align our plans, budgets and resources to achieve the goals.

“Without focused goals and clear priorities, anger rises as residents travel slappedup, eastside subdivisions without adequate roads to connect them. Westside residents respond with alarm as neighborhoods are taken over by vacation rentals, parking problems and late-night noise. New homes are built everywhere with postage-stamp yards.”

City Councilor Bruce Abernethy says he's in favor of the proposed transportation initiatives. “I’m strongly supportive of the funding that’s in the proposed budget right now for bike coordinators. This is something that’s been talked about for many, many years and I think it's really critical that the current council pull the trigger, implement these ideas.”

Abernethy was one of three City Council members who accepted Bend Bikes' recent

invitation to cycle around Bend to see for themselves the strengths and weaknesses of our current cycling corridors. “It was very eye opening for me,” says Abernethy, “My biggest takeaway was that even though there are a lot of bike lanes at various places throughout the city, they aren’t 100 percent connected, and that’s a big deal...for community members to commit to using bikes on a commuting basis or recreational activities, they need to be 100 percent connected.” He clarified that this didn’t mean Bend needs bike lanes on every street, but that “we do need to be viable corridors that allow people to go throughout the city.”

Critics: Fix potholes, then talk bike lanes And what about those who say the city should be spending more on improving roadways instead of bike lanes? Rowan says, “I hear that all the time, and what I have to say is, the city is. The city has been working very seriously on these issues. If anyone’s followed what we’ve been doing, last summer and this summer, it’s the most amount of paving we’ve ever done by far. Last summer alone, we had thousands of potholes filled and we hired an additional amount of staff just for the summer, just to do that kind of work after a hard winter, and we’re looking to do the exact same this year.

The next City Council meeting is Wednesday, May 17 at 6pm. If you’re in favor of increasing active transportation corridors throughout Bend, write your City Council members and sign the petition at www.bendbikes.org. SW

he trail was soft and sandy, and we tried to catch our bearings on heavy, front-loaded mountain bikes.

The first few miles we trudged over lava rocks with our heavy bikepacking rigs until we got into a rhythm. We carried dry bags and water bottles attached to cages on our forks, sleeping bags and pads on the handlebar set-up, and three days worth of food in our frame bags. In addition, 2-liter water bottles were mounted to our bottom bracket cages. The weight of our mountain bikes felt foreign—swishing and wobbling—unsteady the first few miles on Swamp Wells Trail. The next day, we climbed along a thin line out of the mist and continued above the tree line.

We spent most of the morning hiking and pushing our bikes over frequent blow down for 5 miles—the dreaded hike-a-bike. The traverse was becoming frustratingly slow.

Soon, the trail disappeared completely and we were on top of a flattened peak of open red sand with just a few sparse pines suspended in the cold. As we crossed the barren flat, the white diamond blazes revealed our invisible path to the other side of the low overhanging fog, connecting the dots.

It was like we had entered another world entirely as we reached the rim of Newberry Crater. On mountain bikes, we were able to experience the crater from a viewpoint that many hikers coming from Paulina or East Lake do not. It’s just far enough from Bend that even most mountain bikers don’t reach the rim in a day ride—but we were on a bikepacking trip, all our gear ready to camp for several weeks.

Bikepacking is a form of travel, often in the backcountry, involving carrying a loaded bike. The ultimate goal of bikepacking, versus that of bicycle touring, is getting off the pavement in order to explore remote locations and a variety of terrain. Bend local John Krolak’s favorite bikepacking destination is to the obsidian flow to the south of Newberry Crater. An employee of Fatback Bikes, Alex Borgen Krolak says, “Its great to be able to get away from busy places, choose your company, and see interesting places that most people do not see.”

I first started bikepacking about 10 years ago without even knowing it had a name

different than “bike-touring.” I had no money to buy a rack or pannier for my bike, so I strapped bags to my frame and handlebars. My friend’s cabin was so remote that I couldn’t reach it without riding on dirt roads. I loved riding the unpaved route so much that I gave up traditional bicycle touring and began searching for dirt trips off the beaten path. Bikepackers seem to appreciate the experience of being on trail, the ability to cross over ecotones—any transitional area between terrains and cultures. Gabriel Tiller, founder of Limberlost and the new Oregon Timber Trail Alliance (OTTA) tells me he appreciates the freedom of a rugged mountain bike that can traverse landscapes.

“Bikepacking instills a sense of wonder that is rare in this world. It covers long distances and one is able to see the natural transitions between climates.”

The online bikepacking community shares valuable information and publishes free route guides and GPS data on various websites such as Bikepacking.com, Bikepacking.net, and Oregon Bikepacking. Many of the routes link together existing trails with unpaved roads, and the combinations for successful trips are endless. Very few bikepacking routes are established, however, unlike the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) or other National Scenic Trail thru-trail systems, many of which are closed to mountain bikers.

Tiller, inspired by established thru-hiking routes and community involvement, organized the founding of the Oregon Timber Trail Alliance. “At the core of it all for me, personally, is the desire to share Oregon’s fantastic landscapes and wild places. If we can showcase the beauty of this state, we can instill in people an appreciation of what makes Oregon special and a desire to protect it. This is why I founded Limberlost (as well).”

The Oregon Timber Trail is a challenging 2030- day route that traverses the Oregon Cascades from Modoc Mines on the California border to Hood River on the Columbia River Gorge. The entire route is more than 90 percent unpaved, with more than 50 percent of the route on pre-existing multi-use trails. It’s remote and provides a bikepacker with a deep connection to the Cascade wilderness and the beauty the Oregon Cascades has to offer.

The OTTA has developed a rich online

Tiller’s commitment to environmental stewardship, community, conservation and education make the ambitious project unique. The OTTA is pursuing and training certified sawyers, trail maintenance crews and other volunteers.

The route launch was last month in Portland, and it has a long way to go before the trails that make the route are in good condition. “Unfortunately, the OTT isn’t a great route, yet, for people who are new to bikepacking. Much of the route is still in a primitive state and requires many volunteer hours to rehabilitate,” Tiller says. While the route maps have been revealed, according to the project timeline, most of the ground-

work for trail maintenance will take place in 2017 and 2018. They hope to make the OTT official with trailheads and signs by 2020.

Besides the Oregon Timber Trail, several other long-distance routes are within reach in Central Oregon. The Oregon Outback and Three Sisters, Three Rivers routes are two great examples. The region’s multitude of trails and public land allow for endless weekend bikepacking options as well. Leave from Phil’s Trailhead or Shevlin Park and connect several days worth of riding by carrying your belongings and sleeping outside.

Courtney Ley from Concord, N.H. and her friend Sue Lee from Weathersfield, V.T. flew here last summer to bikepack The Three Sisters, Three Rivers route that crosses the Cascades from Bend to Oakridge. “What really drew me to bikepacking in Oregon was how far someone can travel on a mountain bike exclusively on dirt,” Ley says. “Back

Bikepacking offers as much freedom as heaven (and trails) will allow.

What do you need to start bikepacking?

If you have a mountain bike, a sleeping bag and a desire for self-supported adventures, you can bikepack. As long as you practice Leave No Trace principles, you can camp along much of Oregon’s National Forest or BLM lands.

The route, your style of riding, and how much money you want to invest in the sport will determine how to begin loading your bike. Most of the new bags use rack-less mounting systems or minimal, specially designed systems, but can be expensive to try out for your first trip. It’s not necessary to have well-designed, manufactured luggage to go out on your bike and sleep in the forest. Getting started can be as easy as lashing or tying things to your frame or rack. Borrow some bike luggage and try an overnighter. If you’re ambitious, you can try sewing your own bags. These options allow you to try bikepacking without a hefty investment. If you want to spend some money, you can buy well-designed luggage from a variety of small companies, as well. Here are the basic luggage pieces for an awesome set-up: ÎÎ Mountain bike and basic tools, in case of mechanical issues ÎÎ Seat or saddlebag ÎÎ Frame bag (if you can only afford one piece of luggage, this is my favorite) ÎÎ Handlebar roll (the easiest DIY luggage option) ÎÎ Small clutch that straps on the top for easy access items ÎÎ Water bottle cages and bottles ÎÎ Large cages (such as the Salsa Everything Cage or Blackburn Designs Many Thing Cage) ÎÎ Camping set-up (sleeping bag, pad, shelter and dry bags)

N W O T ROUND

A E T U COMM

» HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR SURVIVING THE STREETS—AND THOSE ROUNDABOUTS Maybe you’ve seen them now that the weather is getting nicer. They might have a bag slung over their shoulder, they’re probably wearing a shiny helmet, riding in the rightmost lane on the road, not quite as fast as the cars but still moving along at a respectable pace. They’re the bike commuters.

That could be you, too.

“The first thing I tell people is know your route,” said Brian Potwin, education coordinator for Central Oregon’s Commute Options nonprofit. “Oftentimes, when you’re riding a bike you’ll take a different route than you would if you were driving.”

This might add more time to your commute, but it allows you to avoid high-stress areas where traffic might be heavier, where there is no bike lane or where there is a bike lane that abruptly ends with no warning, said Peter Powers, who has been bike commuting for more than a decade. Try using the bike option on Google Maps to help direct your way, and Potwin also recommends actively researching your route by riding it during a low traffic time, like a Sunday afternoon.

With your route down, familiarize yourself with hand signals.

“When bikes don’t follow right-of-way rules, when they weave in and out of traffic, they are dangers to themselves and anyone else in the area,” said David Green, who’s been bike commuting for six years. Being predictable is one of the easiest ways to stay safe while you’re riding, Potwin said.

For that, think like the driver of a car. If you wouldn’t run a red light, drive on the wrong side of the road (or drive the wrong way

down the road) or roll a stop sign in a car, you shouldn’t do it on a bike.

Cyclists can also ride in the same lane as the cars, if they need to. If there’s no bike lane, or if the bike lane has obstacles in it, "taking the lane," as it is often referred to, can be a safer option. In that case, make sure the lane is clear, and then signal so that drivers know you plan to move into their lane, Potwin says. Someplace where you might see this more frequently in Bend is at roundabouts.

Even though bicycles should be treated like a car, there are still some extra things a cyclist needs to do.

“I cringe when I see anyone without a helmet,” said Powers. “One never knows what is going to put a bike down, and having landed on my head a few times I cannot imagine not having a helmet—however, I do not care how my hair looks.”

Both Potwin and Green also recommend wearing brightly colored clothing and having lights and reflectors—which you can get fined for not having. The minimum is a white front light and a red back reflector, but Potwin encourages people to have a red light in the back for better visibility.

For Powers and Green, bike commuting is worthwhile, even if it adds extra time.

“Reducing my carbon footprint, the feeling of freedom and self-sufficiency, even in an artificial way, and the exercise are all important to me,” Green said. “But using the bike lane to pass a long line of cars snarled in traffic has a certain appeal.”

» IF YOU’RE A NOOB ON THE SINGLETRACK, HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW You got your mountain bike, and now you’re itching to hit the singletrack and ride hard.

But before you take off, you want to make sure that you won’t be "THAT" biker who looks (and acts) like a noob. What trails should you head to, what do you do when you see another rider, and how do you figure all that out if you don’t have friends who mountain bike?

You don’t have to learn these things the hard way.

“Find some friends to ride with,” Shane Johnson, longtime mountain biker and owner of Dryve Wheels, advises. “If you find a group to ride with you can learn from them.”

Meanwhile, Jane Quinn, a buyer at Pine Mountain Sports and manager of the Dirt Divas program, seconds that thought.

Dirt Divas is a program that “seeks to empower women through mountain biking and offers women-only events, group rides twice a month with five different skill levels,” she said. They also offer educational clinics and skill sessions.

Now that you have some friends to ride with, the next step is using trails properly.

Many singletrack trails (trails that are wide enough for one bike only) are not bi-directional, so make sure you’re riding the correct direction when you start.

When on a two-way trail, downhill riders should yield to uphill riders, Quinn says. Uphill riders get the right of way because it’s much harder to regain momentum in the middle of a hill. Riders should also yield to hikers and runners, although runners could consider if it is easier for them to step off

the trail.

Checking the trail conditions is another "should do," especially in the spring, so muddy trails can have time to dry out and won’t get rutted, Johnson said. If you’re riding a wetter trail with puddles, or if you need to step off the trail to yield, stay close to the already-made trail.

“Tread on the trail,” Quinn said. “Don’t create your own trail, and if you see small puddles you should ride through them, not around them.”

Both Quinn and Johnson say that if a group of people are riding, it’s considerate to let the person/people waiting for you know how many people are in your group. If you’re bringing up the rear, let them know so they don’t keep waiting, especially on singletrack trails that often have limited visibility.

After you’ve gone out a couple times, avoid getting overconfident. Tyler Fox, a pro rider for The Giant Co-Factory Off-Road Team, cautions beginners to start out slow.

“Don’t push yourself too hard before you’re ready,” he advises. “There’s nothing worse than riding back totally miserable, thinking you might not make it.”

Because you don’t have to worry about things like cars while you’re mountain biking, people tend to be more relaxed and friendly when they’re out on the trails. Being courteous and friendly is something that people notice, especially if you don’t do it.

“Probably the most annoying thing I see when I’m biking is people not having fun,” Johnson said. “Smile and wave! Why the heck are you out here if you aren’t having fun?” SW

We’ve got you covered, bike noob.

BY CAITLIN RICHMOND The non-negotiable stuff: a helmet and a bike. A hard tail is a mountain bike that only has suspension in the front, which will be cheaper and fine for beginners. If you have the cash, a full suspension mountain bike will be more deluxe, but isn’t necessary.

If you’re interesting in road biking, frame weight and components will be what drives up the price. Both Johnson and Fox recommend buying a bike from a store rather than Craigslist, because bikes tend to be overpriced and the fitting you’d get from a bike shop, plus the free tuneups, will make spending extra cash even more worthwhile.

If you have a gearhead friend to bring along or to advise you on your purchase, however, online sales are where you can find a screamin’ deal.

Apparel Technical clothing that isn’t cotton will be more comfortable. You don’t want anything too baggy—it can catch on your saddle as you sit and stand, so avoid basketball shorts, Johnson says. Padded bike shorts are a lifesaver, especially if you’re interested in longer rides. You don’t need to wear underwear with padded shorts though—the seams can create hot spots and won’t do you any favors. Most road biking apparel will be more tight-fitting, but jerseys will come with pockets on the back where you can stash tools and food. Plan on bringing extra layers, especially if you’ll be out in the woods.

Accessories A hydration pack is great for mountain biking — get a drink without having to fumble with a bottle while maneuvering uneven terrain, plus throw in some snacks and extra layers. A multi-tool, pump or CO2 canister and a spare tube are must-haves, so you can avoid the long walk back when you get a flat.

Water bottles will serve you well on the road, but it can be helpful to have two water bottle holders so you can plan on drinking 16-20 ounces per hour. If you’re planning on being out for more than an hour, you’ll want food; simple carbs will hold off the bonking, which happens when you run out of energy and hate your life and question every decision you have ever made, according to Fox. Gels and energy shots are made for athletes on the move, but something like a chocolate-and-nuts bar will get the job done, too. SW

De La Soul returns with a new album—financed by crowdsourcing—for its first release in 12 years

By Anne Pick less conspicuous guests that make the album truly unique.

“Snoopies” features Talking Heads singer David Byrne. Swedish dreamy electro-pop band Little Dragon makes a guest appearance on the less than typical joint, “Drawn.” In that song,

For fans, contributing $15 to the De La Soul Kickstarter got them a digital copy of the album with bonus songs. At that price point, you’re basically paying for the album, which you would have done anyway. With Kickstarter, it allows you to feel personal-

“And the Anonymous Nobody…” gained funding via a Kickstarter campaign, meeting its goal in a few short hours, then surpassing it six times over. The album was the first by a major hip-hop group financed completely by crowdfunding.

Little Dragon takes the lead for nearly five minutes before De La Soul even utters a word. A song like this may never have made it onto a major label record release, which is why Kickstarter provided the perfect platform for the artists to have complete creative freedom. These two songs cross genre lines and challenge the idea of modern hip-hop.

On the crowd funding side of things, some question why you would pay for your favorite hip-hop pioneers to make a new album. As independent artists, it hearkens back to the quest for freedom over the entire creative process. Giving your favorite artists free reign to create exactly what they want and not what the record label wants pushes music to the pinnacle of artistic expression.

ly invested in the production of the album. For super fans, higher donations led to more imaginative rewards.

From shopping for new kicks with Posdnous to appearing on a skit on the album, to Dave’s own platinum record plaque, donors had the chance to realize their dreams within the De La Soul universe.

No matter where De La Soul falls in your “time-of-life” experience, their genre-pushing blend of hip-hop with jazz, funk, rock, electronic—and anything else they feel in the moment— will have you on your feet. Dance freely, knowing you’ll be supporting independent musicians and artists who’ve been allowed to exercise their creative freedom. SW

pon the announcement of De La Soul’s upcoming performance at the 10 Barrel 10th Anniversary Party, everyone I talked to had a similar reaction. “Aw man! No way! De La Soul reminds me of high school.” Of course, as someone in her 30s, that’s the reaction one could expect. But nonetheless, De La Soul reminds listeners of a certain time in their life.

No surprise, since until last year, the hip-hop trio hadn’t released an album in 12 years.

The group comes to Bend in support of its most recent album, “And the Anonymous Nobody…” For the past 10 years, they’ve remained independent, free of a record label interfering in their creative process. For the new record, De La Soul went directly to the source – the fans – for financing. “And the Anonymous Nobody…” gained funding via a Kickstarter campaign, meeting its goal in a few short hours, then surpassing it six times over. The album was the first by a major hip-hop group financed completely by crowdfunding.

While De La Soul has always sampled, experimented and blended genres, “And the Anonymous Nobody…” takes it to another level. The album features collaborations with a breadth of artists and includes songs you won’t typically expect from a hip-hop trio. De La Soul brings typical hip-hop players, including the likes of Usher, 2 Chainz, Snoop Dogg and Jill Scott, to the album. But it’s the

Arts & Activism

The Slants take on the Supreme Court and fight oppression with dance rock

By Anne Pick

ortland-based synth-rockers The Slants recently took on their toughest performance yet. Instead of beckoning concertgoers to the dance floor, they took to the ground floor of the Supreme Court. The band, whose name comes as an act of re-appropriation of a demeaning term aimed at Asian Americans, was unable to register their name as a federal trademark.

In an ongoing battle, with the First Amendment at the forefront, The Slants use the power of arts and activism to bring awareness to this and similar issues of oppression.

“I think arts and activism have had a direct relationship over the years, throughout the history of mankind,” says Simon Tam, The Slants' bandleader.

“Both offer a commentary on society and both offer a picture of something different. I think it’s kind of the history of music and all forms of arts to really tackle on deep, heavy themes sometimes.”

While fighting an obscure part of trademark law from 1946 may not be the sexiest topic, it still tackles oppression—the inspiration for the band’s latest EP, “The Band Who Must Not Be Named.” Appropriately titled based on their current fight with the Supreme Court, the collection of songs allows the band to share their experiences and teach others about their culture.

“Arts serve as an easy barrier or entry in terms of experiencing other cultures or identities and perspectives,” Tam says. “I think our music allows us to communicate those things through stories or lyrics. When people come to a concert, they’re ready to be

entertained, maybe ready to dance or to have a good time. It’s kind of a great way to approach people on a deep level where they aren’t necessarily defensive. Or they don’t feel like they’re being attacked.”

In light of their case against the Supreme Court, The Slants have received an outpouring of support.

Over the years they have worked with over 140 different Asian-American and social justice groups. Many of them rallied to the band’s side by signing on a legal brief in support of their case.

Others have expressed support, hosted concerts or conversations, giving Tam and the band a chance to talk more about their art and activism.

In Bend, Tam will speak at TEDxBend, an event that analyzes “what makes us human.” Tackling art, activism and racism, speaking at TED events provides Tam with a platform to share with others and ideally enlighten them about other cultures.

The Slants also perform at the event, giving Bendites the chance to experience their unique brand of dance rock.

“I grew up in the early ‘80s and that was the ultimate era for this new wave, post-punk sound,” Tam recalls.

“My first cassette tapes I owned were from New Order and Depeche Mode.

That music was the soundtrack to my childhood.”

With both Tam speaking at TEDxBend and the entire band performing, you’ll get the chance to experience The Slant’s post-punk, new wave sound, as well as learn more about the arts and activism. Get ready to dance to the sounds of the band who must not be named. SW

The Slants at TEDxBend Sat., May 13, 8:30am-6:30pm Bend Senior High School 230 NE 6th St., Bend. $78-$350 (For TEDxBend Ticket)

Courtney Van Fossan Meet the bike activist and mom improving mobility, one bike ride at a time.

seven-year-old daughter Georgia, and son Ike, age nine, still enjoy riding around town in mom’s cargo e-bike. “They’ve been in the bike since they were tiny, so they are so bike savvy.

They just absorb it,” Van Fossan says. Her kids have observed how to ride in traffic and how to signal turns, alerting drivers to where they are going, she adds.

“When they’re old enough, I’ll gladly give them an e-bike instead of a car.

Having to contend with traffic—and learning that—makes you a better driver, as well.” Ferrying around her kids on the cargo bike has fostered a special relationship with them, she says. “It gives you a really cool experience with your kids. I felt that bond with my kids, and I wanted that with older folks, too.”

Coming full circle from youth to the elderly, Van Fossan notes her recent involvement with Cycling Without Age, an organization founded in Denmark in 2012, now in 28 other countries. The program gives aging community members the experience of riding a bicycle by having volunteers pedal them in a battery-powered tricycle rickshaw.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Van Fossan won the Awesome Bend grant of $1,000, and also won the audience vote grant—two funds aimed at

omething as simple as riding a bicycle can help improve one’s mental health— and can even bring a grown man to tears. In her life as a cycling advocate, and in her job at Bend Electric Bikes, Courtney Van Fossan has learned those things through personal experience. When it comes to electric-assist bicycles, commonly referred to as e-bikes, she readily admits, “I’m a convert. I’m a believer.”

Van Fossan strives to ride her bike and ditch the car as much as humanly possible, riding even in the deep of winter with her kids. “My mental health is so much better, healthier, when I ride my bike on a daily basis.

You can just zip downtown, and you don’t have to look for parking. You get a little exercise and the freedom to get where you want to go.”

When it comes to customers, “We’re all over the place,” she says, from younger families to older retirees.

She recalls the time an elderly gentleman stopped in to test an e-bike and began to cry tears of joy when he discovered that he could still ride with the electric assist.

“We see a huge range of people walking in here. A lot of couples come in. Younger adults are coming to the idea that driving a car is not the way to go all the time,” she says.

Van Fossan has been pedaling her cargo bike for about the past 10 years, converting to electric assist after moving to Bend five years ago. Though they now can ride their own bikes,

assisting community members fund their “awesome” projects—which added dollars for Bend’s Cycling Without Age program. She just obtained her first rickshaw, on loan from California, and her first rider was her visiting 85-year-old grandmother. One recent evening, Van Fossan pedaled her grandma around the Old Mill, spying goslings and deer. Van Fossan says her grandmother still gets around OK, but that she wouldn’t have been able to walk the paths on which they rode.

Van Fossan has been at Bend Electric Bikes since June 2016, and before that worked at Pedego Electric Bikes.

Her business card reads, “Cultural Agent of Change Sales and Tour Manager.” The shop’s big annual family friendly celebration, carGo & Bend Disaster Relief Trials, is set for June.

The afternoon will include obstacle courses, emergency preparedness, cargo bike test rides and live music.

Regarding e-bikes, she says, “They’re expensive, but they are true

transportation tools.” E-bikes start at about $1,500 and can range up to $6,000-$7,000.

Van Fossan says that more and more, she is wanting to leave the car behind, especially for all those easy trips around town, “so there’s not so many of us driving in cars alone,” she adds.

Van Fossan recently joined Commute Options as a new board member, intending to bring a cyclist’s perspective to the board. “I’m learning a lot, and the staff there is great. They’re smart and they really know what they’re doing.”

Before moving to Bend, Van Fossan said she had a short checklist of what she wanted. Besides a community where she could walk or bike, she wanted easy access to nature for her kids and a little slower pace than Southern California. In Bend, she found all that. “I’m happy to live here where I can get around most everywhere by bike.” SW

By Howard Leff The High Desert Museum recently joined forces with Sunriver’s Three Rivers Elementary School to do just that. And it worked, with fourth and fifth graders churning out finished products including drums, pan flutes, xylophones and cardboard box guitars.

This impressive learning experience required a combined effort of teachers, museum staff, musicians and one local music store.

“Each month a musician, (Bend’s) Matt Gwinup, would visit the classes, bring multiple instruments and teach about them,” says the museum’s Curator of Education, Carolyn Nesbitt. “Then the following week I would come and lead a hands-on science and engineering lesson that typically ended in homemade instruments.” Bend’s DIY Cave also pitched in to help, as did Breedlove Guitars, which gave a presentation on professional guitar

making to each class.

It’s all part of the museum’s annual “Kids Curate” exhibit, with a goal of integrating science and art into the school curriculum. “Students learned about the science of sound and vibrations,” says Nesbitt. “They learned how professional companies make guitars and how to use different tools to make instruments.”

Students also discovered how technology plays a role in essential musical components such as amplifiers.

Nesbitt says the students’ intense focus came as a pleasant surprise.

“They were excited each time we visited their classroom and were enthusiastic about

the activities,” she says. “I was also surprised by some of their dedication to the project. A few students made instruments at home to be put on exhibit.”

The Kids Curate exhibit is up through June 4. SW Kids Curate

Insider tip: get a bigger custom sandwich from Newport Market if you order it on French bread.

Pack & Play Sandwiches for Outdoor Adventure Hit the trail with pack ready sandwiches

Each day more trails lose snow and our warm-weather Central Oregon playground expands. Whether you want to hike, bike, kayak or backpack, those are all activities that work up an appetite. If you don’t have time to make lunch at home—or are visiting—there are a few places in town making sandwiches ideal for throwing in your pack.

For those who get really hungry on the trail, check out Nancy P’s Cafe & Bakery. Their sandwiches on thick, fresh-baked bread are huge, well wrapped and durable. Seriously, even the half sandwiches are heavy. And don’t worry about backpack squishing; additional melding of flavors, like on the pesto turkey or chipotle chicken, will make them more delicious.

Another stop with fresh-baked bread is The Village Baker, known for their turkey with strawberry salsa and a rich, creamy layer of Brie. These sandwiches are a bit more delicate, so place them at the top of your pack.

In a rush, or when you’re headed out in the morning, try premade sandwiches and wraps at places such as Newport Market, Market of Choice or Whole Foods, and grab a fresh sandwich or wrap made with quality ingredients. If you want more vegan and vegetarian options, like a Thai peanut wrap, visit Devore’s Good Food Store.

We asked local Triple Crown thru-hiker Renee Patrick what she likes to grab for adventure. She said, “I usually head to Big-O-Bagels and get a bagel sandwich for a hike or ski.”

Whatever sandwiches you choose, remember to have fun out there, and if you pack it in, pack it out. SW

MOTHER’S DAY

m o M f o s e i r o Mem Ah, moms.

37 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 19 / May 11, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Once they were our favorite people, then they were, maybe, the last person we wanted to spend time with… and then for a lot of us, they were back to being our favorite people once again.

In honor of Mother’s Day, we took a reader poll asking people about their moms.

Do any of these sound like you?

Charles Chamberlain

Tia Swenson

SW: What was something your mother did that you hated as a kid but have learned to appreciate?

CC: She used to complain to my father all the time that I talked back to her. But I just disagreed, but she called it talking back. So when my father came home, he’d give me a whack or two or three for talking back to my mother, so I’m trying to find a positive in that, but I can’t. That was a ways back, she died at least 30 years ago. But she was always nicer than my father. It was a different era.

SW: What was something your mother did that you hated as a kid but have learned to appreciate?

TS: Oh my goodness. She used to be very involved in my life, and now I appreciate it because she cares what I’m up to now. But at the time, I’m like, “Mom, go away. I can do what I want.”

SW: Are there any things you do like about your mother?

Habits, etc.

CC: We were always frugal. My father always found me jobs, so it was easy for me to become independent. I paid my way through college. I don’t know if I could really pass on any of the ways that they had. My daughter’s now 54, and she’s really good as a parent, so maybe I did a good job. Parenting back then was much more rigid. They were tough.

SW: Was there a time where you thought you were right but it turned out that your mom was right?

TS: Everything? Probably everything.

SW: Are there any things you do like about your mother?

Habits, etc.

TS: She gets worried about everything. She tells everybody to be safe, and when they drive she panics constantly. She’s like, “Text me when you leave, text me when you get there, text me when you’re everywhere.” I feel like I’m starting to get that now, starting to get that controlling side.

Aaron Bernstein

Liz Goodrich

SW: What was something your mother did that you hated as a kid but have learned to appreciate?

AB: My mom was very good at making sure we had very good dinners, which I never appreciated at the time. I’d get very tired of chicken for dinner. But, I now realize that I don’t eat a very balanced diet and she was just trying to get that going, so I very much appreciate that.

What was something your mother did that you hated as a kid but have learned to appreciate?

LG: So many things. I know that I really used to hate that she could talk to anybody. She would talk to a brick wall. I mean, in grocery lines, talk, talk, talk. She knew no stranger and I always thought that was crazy but now I’ve turned into my mother and I love talking to people I do not know. You never know what kind of joy you might find talking to someone you don’t know.

SW: Was there a time where you thought you were right but it turned out that your mom was right?

AB: I don’t want to go back to the food thing, but that’s probably true. She was also very aggressive at making me play outside when I was a kid. I’d always want to play video games with my buddy Michael, but we lived very close to each other so we would always go outside. There was this quota system where we had to spend an hour and half outside to get thirty minutes inside, so I appreciate that very much now, looking back on it, but at the time I just wanted to play video games.

SW: Are there any things you do like about your mother?

Habits, etc.

AB: I write the same way. Her “Q”s are very similar to my “Q”s.

Interns Leigha Threlkeld and Trevor Helmy contributed to this report.

SW: Was there a time where you thought you were right but it turned out that your mom was right?

LG: I thought the Bee Gees and “Saturday Night Fever” were epic works of art. I don’t want to take anything away from “Saturday Night Fever,” but it had its time. My mom wanted me to go see Handel’s “Messiah,” and she kept trying to tell me how awesome it was, how it took him a week to write this and it’s this most beautiful, enduring piece of music, and I was like, “Mom! The Bee Gees wrote “Saturday Night Fever” in a weekend!” So my mom was definitely right.

SW: Are there any things you do like about your mother?

Habits, etc.

LG: We switch our closets out twice a year. So in the fall we put away all of our summer clothes and get out our fall clothes. There are very rigid dates when you do this. It’s after Easter and Halloween, that’s when you switch.

A Day in Hell (or Eugene)

Hellshire Day kicks off Oregon’s busy beerfest season

39

Kevin Gifford

Oakshire founder Jeff Althouse presided over all things dark and sour at Hellshire.

W

armer weather is finally here, and with it comes the irresistible desire to go out, purchase some wooden tokens, and try every beer in the universe, four ounces at a time.

Most of the big beer festivals around Oregon have announced their 2017 plans by now.

• Central Oregon Beer Week begins two Fridays from now on the 19th, with the kick-off celebration set to take place in 10 Barrel’s northeast-Bend brewpub (oh, hey, that’s opening up, too, by the way).

• The Bend Brew Festival starts on Aug. 10.

• The 30th annual Oregon Brewers Festival, which attracts 80,000 visitors to its Portland riverside location each year, runs for four days beginning July 26.

• Brews for New Avenues, also in Portland, is slated for Aug. 19, with VIP tickets going on sale June 1.

Definitely look that one up—it’s arguably the best beerfest ticket in the U.S., short of the Great American Beer Festival itself.

This whole season was unofficially kicked off last weekend, when Oakshire Brewing held its fourth annual Hellshire Day & Barrel-Aged Beer Fest at its brewpub and barrelhouse in the Whiteaker neighborhood of Eugene. Normally held in March before a move to May this year, Oakshire uses this event for the yearly release of Hellshire, an imperial stout like The Abyss whose recipe (and selection of barrels it’s aged in) changes with every batch.

Hellshire VII, the latest release, was “laid to rest” in freshly-emptied bourbon barrels for a year and clocks in at 13.75 percent alcohol. This still

doesn’t beat Double Barrel Especial, the variant Oakshire released in bottles to VIP ticket holders—that was transferred from bourbon to a brandy cask, then infused with coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa nibs and peppers.

How is it? Like fresh Abyss, pretty hot on the palate for now, although still nice and complex. (Last year’s version, Hellshire VI, is tasting much smoother, bursting with chocolate and spicy notes. Anyone with a bottle should waste no time opening it up.)

But Hellshire Day was about more than just Oakshire strutting its own stuff. Over 40 barrel-aged beers, ciders and meads were available onsite, and while the selection was a lot more Oregon-centric than in previous years, there were still quite a few offerings that hadn’t been seen anywhere near this state before. Highlights included: • All I See Is Carrion: A Belgian-style quad ale from Adroit Theory in northern Virginia, blended with tart cherries (“tart” is something of an understatement) and aged in bourbon barrels from its buds at A. Smith Bowman Distillery.

• Thicket As Thieves: Over a pound of blackberry purée was added to each gallon of this golden ale, hailing from Wooden Robot in Charlotte, N.C. It absolutely tasted the part and probably would taste great with pancakes.

• The Nord: A collaboration between Tillamook’s de Garde Brewing and Casa Agria Specialty Ales in southern California, this is a wild ale aged in oak barrels. The sourness is much more forward than in typical de Garde fare, although at just 5.5 percent, it’s just as quaffable as the rest of the lineup. SW

We Are Groot

Marvel Studios adds art to commerce

By Jared Rasic 41

Disney/Marvel

Buckle up for the ride as the Guardians take us on a character-driven adventure.

of the last film. Baby Groot is ridiculously adorable. I mean, yes, he looks cute in the trailers, but his adorability will make your teeth hurt by the end of the movie.

Quill meets his long lost father, Ego the Living Planet (played by a perfectly-cast Kurt Russell,) while his teammates go on their own journeys during the film. Those include daddy issues, sibling rivalry, self-loathing, accepting your place in the world and a full scale hero’s journey sprinkled throughout the endlessly entertaining 136 minutes.

As fun as the first “Guardians” was, “Guardians Vol. 2” exceeds it on every conceivable level. Every frame of the film is bursting with color, invention, and some of the weirdest ideas ever put into a Disney-produced blockbuster, but all of it pales to how deeply

emotional it is.

Each one of the Guardians is partially broken. Quill is an orphan finding his place in the universe. Gamora has a father who tortured her. Rocket was experimented on and is the only creature of his kind in the galaxy. Drax watched his family die while he was unable to protect them. Groot basically died and has to accept his size compared to everyone else. Yondu (a film-stealing Michael Rooker) has been living as a villain with the heart of a hero. Every minute of “Guardians Vol. 2” is spent on these characters learning how to heal themselves or accepting the help to be healed by their makeshift family.

It’s popular now for hipsters or holier-than-thou film snobs to make fun of superhero movies, and Marvel movies

in particular. Yes, massive blockbuster superhero movies are crowding the multiplex, causing some of the smaller indies to skip theaters or not even get made in the first place. A balance between art and commerce does need to be found in the motion picture industry, but assuming the film is just a cynical cash grab is missing the forest for the Groots. Somehow, “Guardians Vol. 2” is a work of art in a galaxy of commerce, which is a positive sign not just for the future of Marvel movies, but cinema in general. SW

I

’ve been reviewing Marvel movies for as long as I’ve been writing about cinema. Truthfully, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not quite 10 years old (dating back to 2008’s “Iron Man”), but it has completely reshaped how blockbuster movies are written and directed.

The staggering number of superhero movies released every year might be easy to blame on the MCU, but it also raised the bar on what Hollywood studios consider populist entertainment.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is the 15th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but you’d be hard pressed to tell. It doesn’t cross-over into the other films like “Civil War” or the “Avengers” does; instead, it spends its two-hourplus runtime expanding the world of the Guardians while telling deeply personal stories for each character.

That’s probably the most incredible thing about “Guardians Vol. 2.” As dazzling as the visuals are and as epic as the storytelling becomes, the film is entirely character-driven. It almost functions as a hangout movie where you’re entertained by just spending time with interesting characters as they banter with each other instead of following them into a complicated plot. “Guardians Vol. 2” doesn’t even have a clear villain until well over an hour into the film.

Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Groot (the voice of Vin Diesel) and Rocket (the voice of Bradley Cooper) are all back. The only big difference is Groot is Baby Groot now because he’s growing from the sapling we saw him as at the end

Gigantic

Colossal is the Citizen Kane of Monster Movies

By Jared Rasic

Toy FIght Productions

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 19 / May 11, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Their faces would be much happier if they were watching "Colossal."

D

on’t read this review. Sorry, I don’t mean to tell you what to do, but one of the true joys of cinema I have had this year was watching “Colossal” without knowing anything about it. As the plot continued to escalate and become darker and entirely unpredictable, I realized I was watching one of the best movies of the year.

So put down the newspaper and go see this movie right now, without knowing anything specific. This is your last chance.

“Colossal” tells the story of Gloria (a perfect Anne Hathaway), an alcoholic failed writer living in New York with her frustrated boyfriend Tim (Dan Stevens). After Tim has finally had enough of her drunken shenanigans, he kicks her out of their apartment, forcing her to move back to her hometown somewhere in Middle America.

Depressed and lonely, Gloria runs into her childhood friend Oscar (a very good Jason Sudeikis), who is warm and kind to her, even offering her a job at the bar he owns. Every night after the bar closes, Oscar and Gloria and Oscar’s friends drink until the sun comes up. She then usually sleeps it off on a bench in a playground near her house.

Meanwhile, a massive reptilian monster (or kaiju in the proper parlance) appears in Seoul, South Korea, and destroys part of the city, killing many people. After several drunken nights and some deductive reasoning, Gloria figures out that if she steps into the park at 8:05a.m., then she controls the kaiju’s movements and is responsible for all that death and destruction.

That’s only the first 10-15 minutes of the movie, and it doesn’t remotely go where you think it will, based on that description. “Colossal” isn’t just a giant monster movie and shouldn’t be classified as one. Instead, it’s something much more serious and, dare I say, profound. Thematically, everything

43

related to the giant monster is a metaphor but writer/director Nacho Vigalando (the filmmaker behind the also quite brilliant “Timecrimes”) never smashes the audience over the head with them.

The ideas Vigalando wants to explore are so densely packed into the film that it will take multiple viewings to even catch all of them, like hard-to-find-Pokemon. Gloria’s alcoholism caused her to drunkenly stumble through the playground without thought, causing all of the destruction halfway across the world. The script and direction allows us to decide whether we should interpret that as American imperialism raining destruction down on a country most will never see, or if the mayhem happening is symbolic of Gloria’s alcoholism affecting complete strangers.

Gloria is also controlled by the men in her life, constantly trying to “help” her or shape how she lives. The modern woman fighting for control of her own agency is a thematic concern threaded throughout the entire film — quite heady for a giant monster movie.

I’m sorry you read all this. You shouldn’t have. Now you know too much. Even if you think sci-fi or monster movies are stupid, this is unlike any film that has ever been made before. In history. How often does that happen? This is the “Citizen Kane” of giant monster movies. What a time to be alive. SW

OUTSIDE Protecting the High Desert We Love

A recent court ruling likely means no wind farm for the Steens

By Jim Anderson 45

inventory of Oregon’s wild places, it was confirmed that there are nearly 8 million acres of wilderness-quality land in Eastern Oregon still left.

They quickly realized that without a group of dedicated people to protect, defend and restore these wild desert lands, they could be lost forever. From this small group of desert-lovers, The Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA) was born.

The recent invasion by the Bundy clan and their use-it-or-lose-it pals served as a wake-up call that there are a lot of people looking at our sagebrush seas for its financial values.

To that extent, in 2011, the U.S. Department of the Interior approved a plan to allow the construction of dozens of wind turbines and a high-capacity power transmission line on Steens Mountain. Just like the approval of the destruction of millions of acres of sagebrush to create grazing lands, such a scheme would have destroyed nearby wintering habitat for the imperiled Greater sage-grouse, and severed a unique habitat corridor essential to the survival of the bird’s neighboring populations.

To fight that scheme, ONDA, in partnership with the Audubon Society of Portland and other lovers of the land, have worked to challenge the wind farm plan. While wind turbines certainly hold promise for our energy future, this is simply the wrong place, in my opinion.

Millions of dead birds, including hundreds of Golden Eagles and over 50,000 dead bats could testify to the need to give a great deal of thought to the placement of wind farms. A recent federal court ruling found that the Bureau of Land Management didn’t adequately establish a baseline of local sage-grouse populations. This lack of reliable data led to the potentially flawed decision-making and a flawed public process, which would have resulted in the degradation of bird and bat populations.

Portland Audubon and ONDA members, along with Brent Fenty, executive director of ONDA, were key players in Congress’s passage of the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Act of 2000, which created Oregon’s very first desert wilderness area.

Members of ONDA and Audubon provided steadfast support over the years since this project came to the fore and have made protecting the Steens, the jewel of the high desert, possible. It’s going to take a lot of people who care about the ecosystems of Oregon’s Outback to make sure those coming after us will have the desert

his old man is going on 80, and ever since I rolled into Oregon in ‘51 on my beautiful 1947 Harley— and in later years literally soared over the sprawling sagebrush and rim rocks, sharing airspace with eagles—I’ve discovered more and more animals, plants and places and people to keep me busy helping to save.

I’ve had the honor and delight to spend hours, days and years sharing the high desert with my family and so many friends in the Fort Rock Country, and living with today’s people of the desert. In fact, I’m going to be “laid to rest” there…"

People, including Minnie Stits, who got a visit from what she called, “those little men from outer space,” and saved two dinosaurs from eggs she watched roll out a cliff and hatch in the middle of the road. She gave the babies to me when I presented one of my annual talks at the Grange.

Then there’s Sam Morehouse, an old Fort Rock buckaroo who knew an owl can turn its head only 270 degrees, not 360. But he stopped me one day at the Fort Rock Store and said, “Hey Jimmy, I seen one of them little cuckoo owls (Burrowing Owl) the other day perched on an old fence post up at Reub’s place.

“I rode up on my horse and circled the post and the owl turned his head all the way around. (He stopped to grin at me). So I turned my horse and went around him the other way, and he turned his head all the way around. You know what happened next?” he asked.

I said, “Sure, the owl’s head fell off.”

“Nope,” he said, “M’ horse got dizzy and fell down.”

The eagle research my wife, Sue, and I are currently doing, helping to conduct a survey on the number of golden eagles breeding in the wild places of Oregon, has expanded my love for the land. We even spotted a golden eagle that came down from Alaska to take in the Great Sandy Desert (and to have a taste of our blacktailed jackrabbits.) What a place is the Oregon desert!

In that light, over the last 30 years a diverse group of people, including teachers, doctors, students, naturalists and retirees, put their heads together to find ways to protect their shared love of Oregon’s deserts. They were driven by their conviction that the government’s current inventory of wild desert lands and the total destruction of millions of acres converted from sagebrush to grasslands for cattle grazing had destroyed a huge chunk of Oregon they knew and loved.

Sure enough, when they banded together to take up their own

Top, the top of The Steens; in this writer’s opinion, no place for a wind farm. Bottom, Shepherds Flat Wind Farm is an 845 megawatt wind farm near Arlington, Ore.

Shevlin Landing MLS#201610740 - $764,990 • Address: 62700 NW Imbler Ct. – Lot 18 • 4 beds, 3 baths, on one level with 2 ensuites

Land Use Laws- Land use laws and the need to increase the Urban Growth Boundary are common reasons given for the shortage. It’s understandable that restrictions on the availability of buildable land help with creating a shortage, which leads to higher prices and unaffordability for middle income wage earners, but there are other areas with much less restrictive land use laws that are experiencing the same problems. The article cites the Boise market as an example as to why this is not an Oregon-specific phenomenon.

Lots-While the lack of buildable lots is clearly a factor, the lack of land is due to tight financing, which makes it more difficult for developers to borrow money to develop land.

Financing- Lending restrictions due to the recent recession tightened lending standards for all, from developers to home-buyers. The report cites that banks loosened lending standards for multi-family projects, which are apparently starting to impact rents, so lending standards are again starting to be tightened. Credit appears to be loosening, but it’s important to remember that the recent years of tightening likely impacted our current situation.

he Oregon Office of Economic Analysis puts out some interesting information and insights, and a recent blog addressed the housing shortage. One would think that with job growth, increased demand for owner-occupied and rental housing, population growth and rising home prices, that there would be a construction boom to meet the supply the market is demanding. As we know in Bend and in other areas of the state, new construction is lagging behind.

The blog addresses five factors often cited as reasons behind the housing shortage, and aims to dispel some common myths.

Confidence-Some people say that builders are not confident and they’re risk averse, and that this is holding them back. The report cites this is not likely, as there are studies showing builder optimism has returned to previous peaks.

Labor-While many construction workers changed careers during the recession, this was due to lack of demand for their labor. We often hear that there’s a shortage of construction labor to build homes. While a lack of workers puts a limit on the ability to increase production, the report also reminds us that labor is tight over all in many fields and not specific to the construction industry.

Sat + Sun 10-5 Call Sarah 541.977.8733

Two years ago, I met this beautiful, intriguing girl. I gave her my number, but she never called. Last week, she texted out of the blue. Weird! My friend said she probably had a boyfriend until now. Do women really hoard men’s info in case their relationship tanks?

—Wondering Consider the male BFF. A woman may not consciously think of hers as her backup man. But should her relationship go kaput, there he is — perfectly situated to dry her tears. Um, with his penis.

There seems to be an evolutionary adaptation for people in relationships — especially women — to line up backup mates. It’s basically a form of doomsday prepping — except instead of a bunker with 700 cans of beans and three slightly dented Hellfire missiles, there are two eligible men on the shelves of a woman’s mind and the phone number of another on a crumpled ATM receipt in the back of her wallet.

Evolutionary psychologists Joshua Duntley and David Buss explain that in

ancestral times, even people “experiencing high relationship satisfaction would have benefited from cultivating potential replacement mates” in case their partner cheated, ditched them, died, or dropped a few rungs in mate value. A woman whose partner left or died “would have suffered a lapse in protection, mate investment, and resources for her children, much like people who transition between jobs in the modern environment sometimes suffer a lapse in insurance coverage.”

Duntley and Buss note that female psychology today still has women prepping for romantic disaster like they’re living in caves and lean-tos instead of condos and McMansions. For example, in research on opposite-sex friendAmy Alkon ships, “women, but not men, prioritize economic resources and physical prowess in their opposite-sex friends, a discrepancy that mirrors sex-differences in mate preferences.”

Getting back to this woman who texted you, she probably saw something in you from the start but was otherwise encumbered. So, yes, she’s likely been carrying a torch for you, but for two years, it’s been in airplane mode.

ASTROLOGY

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your symbol of power during the next three weeks is a key. Visualize it. What picture pops into your imagination? Is it a bejeweled golden key like what might be used to access an old treasure chest? Is it a rustic key for a garden gate or an oversized key for an ornate door? Is it a more modern thing that locks and unlocks car doors with radio waves? Whatever you choose, Gemini, I suggest you enshrine it in as an inspirational image in the back of your mind.

Just assume that it will subtly inspire and empower you to find the metaphorical “door” that leads to the next chapter of your life story.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are free to reveal yourself in your full glory. For once in your life, you have cosmic clearance to ask for everything you want without apology. This is the LATER you have been saving yourself for. Here comes the reward for the hard work you’ve been doing that no one has completely appreciated. If the universe has any prohibitions or inhibitions to impose, I don’t know what they are. If old karma has been preventing the influx of special dispensations and helpful X-factors, I suspect that old karma has at least temporarily been neutralized.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde. “I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” In my opinion, that may be one of the most radical vows ever formulated. Is it even possible for us human beings to gracefully manage our unruly flow of feelings? What you do in the coming weeks could provide evidence that the answer to that question might be yes. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are now in a position to learn more about this high art than ever before.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Africa’s highest mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro. Though it’s near the equator, its peak is covered year-round with glaciers. In 2001, scientists predicted that global warming would melt them all by 2015. But that hasn’t happened. The ice cap is still receding slowly. It could endure for a while, even though it will eventually disappear. Let’s borrow this scenario as a metaphor for your use, Virgo. First, consider the possibility that a certain thaw in your personal sphere isn’t unfolding as quickly as you anticipated.

Second, ruminate on the likelihood that it will, however, ultimately come to pass. Third, adjust your plans accordingly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Will sex be humdrum and predictable in the coming weeks? No! On the contrary. Your interest in wandering out to the frontiers of erotic play could rise quite high. You may be animated and experimental in your approach to intimate communion, whether it’s with another person or with yourself. Need any suggestions? Check out the “butterflies-in-flight” position or the “spinning wheel of roses” maneuver. Try the “hum-andchuckle kissing dare” or the “churning radiance while riding the rain cloud” move. Or just invent your own variations and give them funny names that add to the adventure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Right now the word “simplicity” is irrelevant. You’ve got silky profundities to play with, slippery complications to relish, and lyrical labyrinths to wander around in. I hope you use these opportunities to tap into more of your subterranean powers. From what I can discern, your deep dark intelligence is ready to provide you with a host of fresh clues about who you really are and where you need to go. P.S.: You can become bet-

ter friends with the shadows without compromising your relationship to the light.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can bake your shoes in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, but that won’t turn them into loaves of bread.

Know what I’m saying, Sagittarius? Just because a chicken has wings doesn’t mean it can fly over the rainbow. Catch my drift?

You’ll never create a silk purse out of dental floss and dead leaves.

That’s why I offer you the following advice: In the next two weeks, do your best to avoid paper tigers, red herrings, fool’s gold, fake news, Trojan horses, straw men, pink elephants, convincing pretenders, and invisible bridges.

There’ll be a reward if you do: close encounters with shockingly beautiful honesty and authenticity that will be among your most useful blessings of 2017.

51 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 19 / May 11, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Kiss the flame and it is yours,” teased the poet Thomas Lux. What do you think he was hinting at? It’s a metaphorical statement, of course. You wouldn’t want to literally thrust your lips and tongue into a fire. But according to my reading of the astrological omens, you might benefit from exploring its meanings. Where to begin? May I suggest you *visualize* making out with the steady burn at the top of a candle? My sources tell me that doing so at this particular moment in your evolution will help kindle a new source of heat and light in your deep self -- a fresh fount of glowing power that will burn sweet and strong like a miniature sun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Of all the signs of the zodiac, you Capricorns are the least likely to believe in mythical utopias like Camelot or El Dorado or Shambhala. You tend to be uber-skeptical about the existence of legendary vanished riches like the last Russian czar’s Fabergé eggs or King John’s crown jewels. And yet if wonderlands and treasures like those really do exist, I’m betting that some may soon be discovered by Capricorn explorers. Are there unaccounted-for masterpieces by Georgia O’Keeffe buried in a basement somewhere?

Is the score of a lost Mozart symphony tucked away in a seedy antique store? I predict that your tribe will specialize in unearthing forgotten valuables, homing in on secret miracles, and locating missing mother lodes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my lyrical analysis of the astrological omens, here are examples of the kinds of experiences you might encounter in the next 21 days: 1. interludes that reawaken memories of the first time you fell in love; 2. people who act like helpful, moon-drunk angels just in the nick of time; 3. healing music or provocative art that stirs a secret part of you -- a sweet spot you had barely been aware of; 4. an urge arising in your curious heart to speak the words, “I invite lost and exiled beauty back into my life.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ex-baseball player Eric DuBose was pulled over by Florida cops who spotted him driving his car erratically. They required him to submit to a few tests, hoping to determine whether he had consumed too much alcohol. “Can you recite the alphabet?” they asked. “I’m from the great state of Alabama,” DuBose replied, “and they have a different alphabet there.” I suggest, Pisces, that you try similar gambits whenever you find yourself in odd interludes or tricky transitions during the coming days -- which I suspect will happen more than usual. Answer the questions you want to answer rather than the ones you’re asked, for example. Make jokes that change the subject.

Use the powers of distraction and postponement.

You’ll need extra slack, so seize it!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The process by which Zoo Jeans are manufactured is unusual.

First, workers wrap and secure sheets of denim around car tires or big rubber balls, and take their raw creations to the Kamine Zoo in Hitachi City, Japan. There the denim-swaddled objects are thrown into pits where tigers or lions live. As the beasts roughhouse with their toys, they rip holes in the cloth. Later, the material is retrieved and used to sew the jeans. Might this story prove inspirational for you in the coming weeks? I suspect it will. Here’s one possibility: You could arrange for something wild to play a role in shaping an influence you will have an intimate connection with.

Homework: If you knew you were going to live to 100, what would you do differently in the next five years?

T

his column comes out during the week of Mother’s Day. For many of you, the only connection between cannabis and that holiday will be reading this column and recalling the numerous times you got stoned in high school and were 100 percent certain your sweet mom had no idea, because you hid it so well. (Spoiler: She did know, dummy; she was just too zonked on Valium and boxed wine to care. You would come home reeking of skunk and proceed to eat 4,800 calories while watching MTV for hours. Your mom isn’t stupid.)

For others, it may bring up some divisions between mother and offspring on differing viewpoints regarding the plant, made all the more intense by your belief that it would do your mom a universe of good if she would just get high, and maybe stop asking if you knew that your cousin Claire had been accepted into medical school—and a good one, too.

You’ve probably even seen the videos and blog posts by alt weekly writers along the lines of, “We Smoked Weed With Our Moms!”, which have been better received than my story proposal, “We Took MDMA With Our Grandmothers!”

My own relationship with my mom and cannabis differs from most, so I didn’t opt to see if she wanted to get high. She’s been doing so for nearly 60 years.

My mom, who we will call Mom, turned 79 last month. I’ve always associated cannabis with her, as she’s been a near daily consumer since 1960. “I never quit, “ she told me recently, “but there were a few times I ran out.”

It was always present when she was with my father in San Francisco—not a big surprise, as he was dealing it to members of the City Council and the SFPD. When we moved to Hawaii, the first house we stayed at had a huge front room that the tenants had converted into a drying room, with kolas nearly as tall as I was hanging from a spider’s web of clothesline strung from the ceiling.

Even with the double dose of liberalism that came from living in Hawaii while attending a Waldorf school, I was repeatedly coached about why I was never to speak about cannabis or its role in our lives. “There are some people who think that this is a bad plant, and want anyone who grows or smokes it to go to jail,” Mom would patiently explain. In high school, she was far more concerned about my drinking alcohol than smoking a joint.

I recently sat down and asked Mom about her earliest memories regarding cannabis.

“My first experience smoking weed was in San Francisco in 1960,” she began. “The only thing available was Columbian brought up from Mexico. It was sold in a sandwich baggie, not weighed, and called a “lid.” It cost $10.”

“Of course,” she continued, “ half of that was seeds, so we sifted it through a flour sifter to remove the good stuff.

“These were the days when the police beat the shit out of you if you were caught holding or smoking any,” she concluded. “Of course, now, with the Trumpster and Sessions, we may think of those as the ‘good old days.’”

My Mom still smokes every day, and eats about 500 milligrams of edible cannabis each night to conquer a decades-long insomnia issue that no prescribed pharmaceuticals could ever fix. Last year I introduced her to Rosin dabs, to great acclaim.

“Feel free to bring by more of those by anytime,” she exclaimed. “And you can leave what you did bring with me.”

But no matter whether you have a mother who chain smokes Pall Malls while shouting at you over “Fox and Friends,” that “the rap-hop artists and their pot weed are destroying our youth,” or one with a broader viewpoint of the “pot weed,” call or visit your Mom this Mother’s Day. And if she’s of the Pall Mall-puffing variety, remember to pack some low dose edibles, maybe enough for you both to try.

Or just a double dose for you. Happy Mother’s Day!
