et’s imagine for a second that you’re not one of the people who lives—or is soon to live—in the vicinity of the Deschutes River Trail. Last week, the head of the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department decided not to consider a rule change that would allow for a pedestrian bridge across the Deschutes just north of Bend’s urban growth boundary.

If you don’t live in the area, we’ll imagine you’re not taking on NIMBY tendencies and can be less emotional about the debate around whether to allow a bridge there. As it stands now, a state scenic waterways rule doesn’t allow bridges across portions of the river considered “wild and scenic,” as is the case for that portion of the Deschutes.

In a statement released May 10, OPRD Director Lisa Sumption concluded that “demand for recreational opportunities is increasing, putting pressure on natural resources and raising concerns among property owners adjacent to major recreation corridors,” and “while increased coordination with public, private, and other governmental organizations could improve rule effectiveness, she found no reason to pursue a rule amendment specific to the Upper Deschutes.”

But were the adjacent property owners truly concerned about natural resources and the environment? Here’s why we’re asking. Just north of the proposed bridge site, there’s a current proposal to build 78 more homes close to the Deschutes River.

Opponents of the pedestrian bridge argued that the bridge would damage wildlife habitat and degrade the quality of the river. In short, they relied on an environmental argument to further their cause—even getting state legislators to act in their favor.

Meanwhile, some of those same people are living in large homes along the river, where a pedestrian bridge would also mean more visitors to their backyards. It begs the question: do those same people oppose the construction of 78 more homes in their neighborhood? And if the argument was framed around environmental impacts, wouldn’t driving to that site south of town every day mean more of an impact than the option to safely bicycle the same distance via the Deschutes River Trail?

According to a study released by the

European Cyclists’ Foundation in 2011, a bicycle emits roughly .075 pounds of carbon per mile. (That figure also factors in the food a cyclist eats to fuel for the ride.) If a cyclist biked the length of the Deschutes River Trail (rounded up to an even 20 miles), that would equate to 1.5 pounds of carbon dioxide emitted per day, or 547.5 pounds a year. By comparison, a vehicle that gets 20 miles to the gallon, driven 20 miles a day, seven days a week, produces 7,232 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, according to an Environmental Protection Agency calculator.

Were those cyclists able to use the trail as a form of transportation to and from downtown Bend and forego driving, you can see how that would benefit one facet of the environment. And that’s not even mentioning the impact of the homes and the carbon footprint they possess, as well as the homes’ impacts on wildlife habitat. (In case you’re wondering, the average American home emits 25,536 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air each year, according to the EPA.) We understand that these comparisons are not apples to apples, and that a multitude of other factors play into the suitability and viability of building a bridge or a home or a new park. Still, we take exception to the contingent arguing against the bridge purely from an environmental standpoint, all while living in a large home in a location without an easy bike route.

We commend the Bend Park and Recreation District for being forward-thinking enough to vision out this trail, even before the developments and the residents moved in. With that in mind, we would love our leaders and our neighbors to take a more holistic look at what constitutes an environmental threat. OPRD seems to agree, adding to the May 10 statement, “Continued development pressure means more coordination and cooperation are needed between public agencies, residents, and recreation enthusiasts.”

Shutting down a bridge for “environmental reasons” may seem like the right thing to do, but when the proposal for even more homes near sensitive habitat doesn’t receive the same deal of scrutiny, the environmental argument seems quite disingenuous, indeed. SW

Do you pay property taxes? Over 20 percent of your property taxes goes to Bend Park and Recreation. I love our parks and facilities however the amount of money spent on the Whitewater Park is criminal. The safe passage is virtually the same as last year. Cement dribbled in cracks did nothing to make the family float experience better. Families floating from Bend River Park don’t want the “river experience,” they expect to continue the uneventful float all the way to Drake Park. The money spent to make a handful of people in wetsuits happy could have been spent so many other ways.

IN RESPONSE TO, SAFER BY DESIGN: THINKING GREEN(WAYS) (5/10) The answer to what’s stopping me biking?

Drivers will swerve into the bike lane because they don’t want to wait behind a car turning left, or behind a car at the stoplight, so until that stops (it won’t) it gets a little scary to ride in some areas.

Also, my husband has been hit twice in roundabouts by drivers who don’t know the laws on how to share them with bikes, so he doesn’t really ride any more. I’m not saying cyclists are perfect either but it really seems like we need some better “share the road” education.

— Monica Helms, via facebook.com I was pretty disappointed the city is not putting in sidewalks on 27th where the sewer construction is happening. It’s pretty sketchy to ride a bike along 27th with cars doing 45-50 mph. I’d ride more if it was safer.

IN RESPONSE TO, GREG WALDEN’S STATEMENT REGARDING FRIDAY “DIE-IN” PROTESTS As a voting constituent and participant in Friday’s protests I am disappointed, if not surprised, by Congressman Walden’s response to our actions. Rep. Walden has claimed that our opposition to his bill is misguided, inaccurate and driven by vague outside interests but he fails to address or rebut any of the concerns of the citizens who live in his district.

Our concerns are founded in the analysis of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) already performed by institutions such as the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO.) Our criticisms of the AHCA aren’t very different than the criticisms already offered by over 50 professional, industry and advocacy groups such as The American Medical Association and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).

The opposition to Walden’s bill is bipartisan and includes Republicans like Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Missouri Rep. Billy Long who said the AHCA, “Strips away the guarantee that pre-existing conditions would be covered and affordable.” The fact of the matter is that Greg Walden’s AHCA represents a tax break for the wealthy — paid for by increased healthcare costs for seniors and those with preexisting conditions.

It is my hope that by continuing to express our concerns over this terrible piece of legislation that Rep. Walden will begin to seriously consider the needs and concerns of his constituents in OR-2 instead of wealthy donors and party elites.

Yeah Don, I too opened my windows the night of May 3, to cool my house only to spend the next two weeks getting rid of the smell of smoke and appease my angry sweetie who was off on training only to come home to a smoky house. Yet, as a retired wildlife habitat biologist I also worry about how long the forest floor can go without fire before it starts to lose its biodiversity. Our forests and associated plants and animals are a product of a fire adapted environment.

Without fire, we’ll start to lose some of them. I also recognize we’ve spent the past 100 years putting out fires, which has given us clear skies, free of irritating smoke, while creating a huge fuel load that can explode under the right conditions when wildfire strikes. Then we get to experience smoke for weeks and even months on end. I also know smoke affects the health of about one third of society, so concerted effort is made to ensure a prescribed fire minimizes impacts to this population. As a member of the Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project, I’m working with a cross section of societal interests, resource specialists and community leaders to manage our forests to provide for and protect public values while restoring forest processes and functions. Protecting our forest is essential if we want to retain its aesthetic, ecological, recreational and economic values now and into the future.

Unfortunately, even after doing all we can to reduce fuel loads we still need to used prescribed fire to ensure our desired values are provided and protected. Thankfully, prescribed fire is planned, is short lived, and produces much less smoke than we get from an unplanned wildfire.

Balancing the risks and trade-offs to our public values, such as prescribed fire versus wildfire, is a key component of forest restoration. The next time I see a column of smoke from a prescribed fire, I will dili-

IN RESPONSE TO, CONTROLLED BURNS - A SAFETY HAZARD (5/10)

NEWS By Judy Stiegler Forest Sale, Off the Table

The State Land Board decides against selling the Elliott. The next step could mean more protection—and pedagogy—in the forest.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / May 18, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

L

ast week the State Land Board took up the issue of the sale of the Elliott State Forest once again.

This has been a “hot topic” of public conversation since the State Land Board decided in 2015 to sell the forest, in order to generate income for Oregon’s Common School Fund. The issue erupted again in February when the State Land Board, in a two-to-one vote, decided to go ahead with a proposal for the sale.

The board, however, postponed the decision until May 9, at Gov. Kate Brown’s request, to explore potential options for maintaining the Elliott in public ownership while continuing to meet the requirements set forth by the Constitution to maximize revenue for the Common School Fund.

At the May 9 meeting, the State Land Board voted unanimously to terminate the “protocol” that was established back in August of 2015 to pursue private ownership of the Elliott, thus effectively voting not to move forward with the sale proposal.

The Board then directed the Department of State Lands to move forward with planning efforts to maintain public ownership of the Elliott.

Prior to, and at the May 9 meeting, each Board member outlined their proposals for exploring continued public ownership of the Elliott.

It could be said that each proposal shares one thing in common—avoiding the controversy and chaos of the past several months. In looking at the various proposals, one stands out as an intriguing way to both produce revenue for the Common School Fund and foster stewardship of public lands. State Treasurer Tobias Read was the arbiter of that proposal.

Treasurer Read’s proposal would build upon Gov. Brown’s proposal of utilizing $100 million in state bonding authority to compensate the Common School Fund for effectively setting aside portions of the Elliott considered high value habitat, and additionally pursuing successful negotiation of a Habitat Conservation Plan with federal agencies to encapsulate potential future uses of the Elliott, both for revenue and non-revenue purposes. The proposal would go further by working with various state agencies and with Oregon State University, including the College of Forestry, to explore the eventual acquisition of the Elliott by Oregon State University, maintaining it in public ownership for a variety of uses and “decoupling” it from the Common School Fund.

In a conversation with Treasurer Read last week, he minced no words expressing his desire to “resolve for good the tension of the legal obligation versus stewardship obligation of the Land Board with respect to the Elliott.” His goal is neither to temporarily mollify competing interests, nor push the issue down the road.

It was apparent that he sees the imperative of fulfilling the State’s fiduciary duty to the Common School Fund while at the same time recognizing the competing non-economic expectations and requirements placed on the Elliott by the public as well as a host of state and federal Agencies, including recreational access and various conservation measures.

Treasurer Read’s proposal to bring another public entity into the mix, namely Oregon State University, is aimed at “decoupling” the Elliott from the Common School Fund by selling it at full market value, and simultaneously creating a multi-use research forest owned and managed by a public entity. He sees the state bonding effort as a “down payment” enabling the development of the necessary components to ultimately perfect the sale. Some see this as the State buying land it already owns.

Treasurer Read points to the fact that this is land held in trust by the State, and the reality is that the bonding money would work to assist in the transfer of those lands to another public entity, rather than purchasing land from itself. He emphasized that this bonding would set the State in motion to meet its fiduciary financial obligation to compensate the Common School Fund for the full market value of the Elliott, either through an ultimate sale to Oregon State University or another public entity if that sale doesn’t come to fruition.

It’s obvious that the story of the Elliott isn’t over yet. The Memorandum of Understanding with Oregon State University gives them until Dec. 31, 2023, to exercise the option to purchase the Elliott. This will be dependent upon a multiplicity of factors coming together, not the least of which is the successful negotiation of a Habitat Conservation Plan referenced above. This will be no easy task.

As Treasurer Read expressed in our conversation with him, though the HCP as well as other factors could very well “have an impact on various parts of the proposal,” he felt that “pursuing the OSU option is the best possibility for a win for all.” SW

“Tenant” Trouble

A local man and his mom are left with thousands in damage after inviting people to stay in his home

W

A lesson learned the hard way: Joe Smith opened up his house to a person he didn't know well and then had his possessions taken and the house vandalized.

hen you hear the word, tenant, typically you think of someone who is renting a house. Most people assume that a tenant is someone who has signed some sort of rental agreement, so if they damage the house they will be held accountable.

Joe Smith and his mom, Jane Smith, learned the hard way that a tenant is anyone who has established residency, and establishing residency is much easier than most people think.

Joe bought his house almost a decade ago, with the help of NeighborImpact and his mom. Buying the house was an attempt to establish more independence for Joe, who’s mentally disabled and on a fixed income, his mother said. He lived in the house on his own, but talked to his mother almost daily so she could check in with him. Jane said she would stop by the house every so often, and helped Joe do repairs. In August, Jane got a call from her son, who told her there were people living in his house and he didn’t know who they were.

“He let a young homeless woman in his house because he felt sorry for her,” Jane said. “This young women put the word out on the street that she could provide free housing at my son’s residence. In they came. Swarms of them.”

The people who overtook her son’s house were not just homeless people who were down on the luck, Jane said.

She called them “street criminals” and said many of them had drug problems and police records. Joe says he ended up hiding in his bedroom to avoid them. His mother called the police, but they were unable to do anything.

“They said it was a civil matter, and their hands were tied,” Jane said.

“They refused to do anything, which just seems wrong.”

The only thing they could do to get everyone to leave was to evict them.

Even though no one had signed a rental agreement or paid rent, they still had to be evicted. This was a long process, made longer by the fact that Jane needed to become her son’s guardian and conservator when Joe was unable to do the eviction process himself.

Landlord-Tenant Laws Tenant laws in Oregon are written with the idea that most people will have some sort of rental agreement, and that both the tenant and the landlord will reasonably follow the laws, said

Paul Heatherman, a landlord-tenant attorney in Bend.

“If the homeowner gave consent [to allow someone to reside in the house] that is persuant to a rental agreement,” Heatherman explained. “This makes it really easy to establish a rental agreement. If you let someone in, you’re stuck, and now they’re a tenant.” And because verbal consent can be considered a rental agreement, police are going to be very careful about removing someone from the house, he said.

When this happens, the only option is eviction.

After the eviction process was started, Jane said she went to let everyone in the house know. They left, she says.

She thought that was it, so she didn’t finish the eviction notice. Everyone returned. Jane decided the only option was to get her son out of the house.

She picked him up, they grabbed a few things and decided they would get the rest of his stuff later on after everyone was out of the house. Then they restarted the eviction process.

“We tried to go back to the house and they had nailed the door shut,” she said. “When I called the police, they told me it was within their rights as tenants, but since my son owned the house we could break in through a window or break down the door.”

Eventually, the Smiths finished the eviction process in early May. When Joe and his mother went back to the house to collect his belongings, they discovered extensive damage to the inside of the house. Everything that could be carried away was missing, they said.

“They took literally all of my son’s possessions,” Jane said. “He had what he was wearing when we left and the few things we took with us. They took everything they could, down to toothpaste, socks and underwear.”

Someone also carved profanity into the plaster walls, broke off the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and threw a hatchet into the walls of the living room, Jane said. They unplugged the fridge so the food left inside rotted.

“They did thousands of dollars of damage,” she said. “Everything was broken, smashed or destroyed.

They were vindictive because of the eviction notice.”

Because there was no concrete evidence of who caused the damage, the police couldn’t arrest anyone. Lt. Clint

Burleigh of Bend Police agrees that removing a tenant is a very complicated situation.

“If someone mows the lawn once for you and you let them stay there, they might be considered a tenant,” he said. If there is no rental agreement, cases have to be determined on an individual basis, and usually involve aspects most people might not be aware of.

Oregon statutes are written in an ambiguous way, and most legislation currently is aimed at protecting tenants because there are very few available rentals, Heatherman said. He hasn’t seen any legislation that would clarify the tenant/landlord status that became an issue in this situation.

“With the lack of rental houses there might be more aggressive tenants, and they might be able to work the system to stay for a long time,” he said.

Because of the general nature of the laws, the police are wary of removing tenants, unless they have a warrant to do so, Burleigh said. The downside of these tenant-centric laws, Heatherman said, is that when you have an unreasonable tenant, there isn’t much you can do besides evict them, which takes time, and legally the occupant can stay in the house until the eviction process is complete.

Oregon statute ORS 90.100 defines a tenant as “a person, including a roomer, entitled under a rental agreement to occupy a dwelling unit to the exclusion of others, including a dwelling unit owned, operated or controlled by a public housing authority. Does not mean a guest or temporary occupant.”

That last sentence, that says a "temporary occupant" is not considered a tenant is why Jane has such an issue with how the police handled this incident. She said if her son’s situation was the only one she knew of in Bend she would chalk it up to a learning experience and move on. But she said she knows of two or three similar situations, in which an elderly or mentally disabled person was exploited by a homeless person or relative who they allowed to stay at their house.

“My son has me to advocate for him,” she said. “When I’m gone, those people will still be out there, and if the police maintain their position to take zero action, this will never stop.” SW

home is the center of life. It is a refuge from the grind of work, “ The the pressure of school, and the menace of the streets. We say that at

home, we can “be ourselves.” Everywhere else, we are someone else.

At home, we remove our masks.”

— Matthew Desmond Excerpt from “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City.”

Out of touch: Federal market rental rates Have you seen a one-bedroom apartment in Bend going for $733?

What about a two-bedroom apartment for $857?

“Show me where you can find me one of those,” says Jeanine Soelek, “because they don’t exist.”

Soelek has been searching for a permanent place to live for over a year, without success. The grocery clerk, who works full time and makes $10.25 an hour, has spent the last few months sleeping on cramped couches and conforming to kids’ bunkbeds, living a transient lifestyle, moving when she feels she’s worn out her welcome. “It’s an uphill battle. Between the $1,200 rents, security deposits, application fees and waiting lists, I can’t seem to get it together. My friends have been so accommodating, but how long can I do this for?” According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Bend has a 1 percent rental vacancy rate, so finding any sort of rental—affordable or otherwise—is a difficult feat.

A quick scan of the Bend Craigslist site yields just two results for one-bedroom apartments near the $750 mark. Taking the average from 40 available one-bedroom units listed on the site between May 9 and May 14, the average asking rate was $1,098.50.

That’s 52 percent higher—or $365 more—than what the Department of Housing and Urban Development deems “fair market value” for Deschutes County. HUD uses that rate as a benchmark for its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher system, one of

the low-income housing subsidy programs available in the U.S. “We received about 2,500 applications for the program this year, which is pretty constant to the prior years,” says Patty Holmes, housing services director at Housing Works, the nonprofit, local housing authority for Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties. Each year, the program serves approximately 1,200 participants in the tri-county area and pulls about 600 new applicants who are awarded a voucher through a lottery process. “We currently have 505 landlords receiving Housing Assistance Payments for this program,” says Holmes. “Our current success rate is 53 percent, so if we issue 100 vouchers, 53 families will ultimately find housing where we can assist them with their rent.”

The voucher is only for the amount determined

by HUD as fair market value, so provided a landlord accepts the voucher, tenants will need to make up any additional lag in rent. The 1,900 or more people left without any assistance can look to other options, such as the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program or the Oregon Affordable Housing Tax Credit Program (OAHTC) which provides private owners with an incentive to create and maintain affordable housing.

Help is out there, but it’s hard to get “It’s an extremely complicated system,” says John Gilbert, co-owner of Pacific Crest Affordable

Housing. “It can be really hard to wade through and most people don’t understand it.” The LIHTC was devised by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and grants income tax credits to vetted properties or developers, which reduces the cost of running and building affordable housing properties. Developers throughout the state vie for these competitive tax breaks, and if granted, agree to rent out a specific number of units to qualified individuals at or below fair market rates (and usually far below actual market rental rates). Developers agree to do this for an average of anywhere from 20 to 60 years, depending on whether it’s a state or federal program, although there are loopholes to exit the program early. The received tax credits can be “sold” to free up cash flow – mostly to corporations looking to benefit from the tax breaks, which can be as high as 9 percent.

The investors benefit from the tax credits while the developer benefits from the cash infusion received from selling credits to investors.

Limited federal funding, however, stifles the program. “There’s too much demand and not enough supply,” says Gilbert, noting that his company is competing against federal funding for affordable housing projects that is in part already allocated to the Portland Metro area and the Willamette Valley, locations also struggling with increased growth and wages that haven’t kept up with inflation. Central Oregon affordable housing projects compete for an already smaller piece of the pie, the "Balance of the State" applications.

Holmes, who administers the Housing Choice voucher program, says: “Except for 89 VASH (Vouchers for Homeless Vets) there has (been) no new voucher funding in Central Oregon in the past 13 years. This is pretty constant for the entire country, not just Central Oregon.”

Gilbert, pointing to the new administration and its promise of slashing the corporate tax from 35 percent to 20 percent, says that investment in affordable housing has slowed since the November election.

“It’s simple economics, when you start talking about lowering corporate tax rates, investors pause and wait to see what happens.”

can be “ ...It just one

thing—a loss of a job, a death, one bad mistake—and all of a sudden you can’t afford a home or have a place to live.”

The stories of affordability are seemingly endless in Central Oregon and across the state. As communities grapple with the problem and special housing advisories are created, Leah Miller* sees first-hand the cause and effect of the low-income housing in the area. Miller has worked for a low-income property that has used the LIHTC program for a number of years.

“Story after story, you realize that every single person here has one and you’ll find parallels to your own life,” says Miller. “A lot of my current tenants started off pretty well off, it’s just one thing or another that brought them here. I reflect on that a lot, how it can be just one thing—a loss of a job, a death, one bad mistake—and all of a sudden you can’t afford a home or have a place to live.” Her waiting list is “hundreds deep” and applicants usually wait years before a spot opens up. “I get phone calls every day from people checking in on their application status. Every day, I have to say 'no, not yet.'”

Miller likes to focus on the success stories, however; the entrepreneur who had a setback but is now making it big or the family of four who saved up enough to buy their own home—albeit out of the area—making room for another family. “Yes, there are sad stories,” she says. “I’ve got women who are escaping from domestic violence or veterans who came back so damaged that they can’t hold down a job anymore. It’s heartbreaking because those veterans joined up with the service to pay for college education that they now can’t use.”

But she’s adamant that in her line of work, “not a single person is here because they don’t feel like working.” She continues, “People think that once in, people will just rob the system and take advantage of low rent. That’s not the case. Sure, you have seniors or those with disabilities who probably won’t make it out, but because of the stigma attached to low-income housing, most people want to leave that stigma behind. Once they find their feet and can go, most go.”

She continues, "Many new buildings face obstacles for development from the existing community because neighbors fear that bringing affordable housing into their area will attract a bad element into their midst, when really the people accessing these programs are already here, working on it. Even if you are well connected in your area, you might not know that the people you see everyday are struggling because they actively hide it for fear of being ashamed."

One low-income housing resident, agreed with the stigma surrounding low-income housing and spoke to the Source anonymously, precisely for this reason. She described the hopelessness she felt while languishing on multiple waiting lists for two and a half years. A service industry employee with a family of four, she simply can’t afford the rental rates without the assistance of a LIHTC property. She describes a lack of hope and the stress and anxiety that comes with living paycheck to paycheck.

Today, she’s grateful that she persisted, calling the day she moved into the low-income housing complex the best day of her life, after the births of her kids. Because of the stigmas attached to low-income housing, neither this person nor any other residents continued on page 11...

Affordable housing: Not just a niche

something they need to revisit soon.”

Miller pushes for private landlords to get into the mix and help aid the problem. "Many conventional property managers find the program requirements to be daunting," she says, "But if you are currently managing property and looking for a new challenge, affordable housing can be extremely rewarding on so many levels."

But is it enough? Once you crunch the numbers, building units is extremely expensive, and as such, only a handful of developers are willing to build affordable units. A proposed 2 percent increase in the fee for building permits and other planning and engineering services by the Bend Community Development Department also means costs will increase, unless they are waived.

Gilbert, from Pacific Crest, says in addition to waiving SDCs and donating land, the City could pitch in for infrastructure builds such as sidewalks and water access for their builds that can amount to millions of dollars.

Out-of-the-box solutions thought up by other groups include having larger Central Oregon employers subsidize or provide housing options for their employees, especially those recruited from out of state. Other ideas include allowing for taller, multi-story apartments along Third Street or in the Maker’s District, yielding high-density housing solutions that move away from the single family home— which, although desirable, take up much-needed space inside Bend’s Urban Growth Boundary. Ideas such as these can find resistance with locals who aren’t used to “city-like” attributes in what used to be a small town. Longtime resident John Howard echoes this worry, noting, it will take away from the “...Bend aesthetic. We moved here to be surrounded by trees, not high-rises.”

Shifting people’s mentalities, finding balance and workable solutions and realizing the issue relates to the entire community, not just a niche segment, are high hurdles. But they’re hurdles worth mounting, because as the National Realtors Association continues to lament, right now, millennials can’t afford to buy houses, homeownership in general has declined and property developers are building to rent, not sell—whether affordable or otherwise.

Gilbert reflects, “There’s no silver-bullet solution. It will take a village—at local, state and federal levels—to find creative solutions to solve this issue.” SW *name changed for privacy

“This is not a niche market anymore,” says Miller, “Low-income and affordable housing is most of our reality now.

That’s what I want to push, that this could be you. You might need to benefit from these resources someday.”

Miller’s solution is to entice more property developers into the area.

Surprisingly, she opposes House Bill 2004—a bill currently before the Oregon Senate that would lift the ban on statewide rent control. “It would drive nervous developers out of the state,” she predicts. Instead, she tries to share the benefits of the tax breaks to private landlords, telling them, “You never have to market your space, you’ll have waiting lists for years, building permits move faster and the City is willing to work with you.”

The City of Bend implements a 1/3 of 1 percent Affordable Housing Fee on all new building permits, which yields approximately $2.5 million annually and is used to develop affordable housing for families at or below 80 percent of the median $59,400 income. “We actually have to pay this Affordable Housing Fee on all of our projects,” says Rob Roy, co-owner of Pacific Crest Affordable Housing.

“It’s seems kind of counterproductive, doesn’t it?”

The City of Bend works with new affordable housing projects that receive local, state or federal funding and expedites planning permits faster than conventional developments— usually within two weeks. Additionally, low-income rental housing projects receive a city property tax exemption for a 20-year period.

One hundred units have been added in Bend over a three-year period, and more are slated for completion soon, with Pacific Crest slated to build 50 affordable units and Housing Works planning to build 24 by the end of 2019. Housing Works says its units east of Pilot Butte will be offered at no more than $720 for a one-bedroom and $843 for a two-bedroom—in line with HUD fair market rates.

System Development Charges, the fees collected during new development to fund city streets, parks and recreation and water and sewer projects, can also be waived for affordable housing and are used to stimulate and encourage investment. The City has waived SDCs for affordable housing units and has gone as far as eventually donating the land to Pacific Crest’s 26-unit project. “One major player that isn’t currently participating is Bend Parks and Recreation,” notes Gilbert, “They voted no on waiving SDCs for affordable housing projects.

SOUND Love & Loss

Eric Tollefson pulls at your heartstrings on new EP

By Anne Pick 15 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 20 / May 18, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Former Bend resident Eric Tollefson, now of Seattle, returns with a new album release show.

“I

revel in examples of true love,” Eric Tollefson confides during our most recent interview. “Maybe not from a jealous standpoint, but almost from a jealous standpoint, because when you see it work and you see the support that goes both ways, I think it’s one of the most beautiful things on the planet.”

Tollefson has remained a popular figure in the Bend music scene for years, despite his move to Seattle a couple years ago. I remember when he first came into the Source’s office in 2009 to give then-music writer Mike Bookey his first album, “The Sum of Parts.” Since then, I’ve enjoyed following his music career and catching him live as often as possible. Tollefson has a kind, relatable spirit fueled by a passion for music that’s both refreshing and inspiring.

On his most recent record, “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” an EP that debuts the day after his record release show at McMenamins, Tollefson takes on familiar themes.

“I realized that each song had a theme of love and loss and the human

experience,” Tollefson says. “With the human experience, no matter who you love or what you put your energy to, there’s a point in time when you’re going to lose it. Either by a relationship or friendship ending or something that doesn’t grow to what you want it to be, there’s an expense to that. But I think that it’s always worth it.”

For Tollefson, those experiences inspired him to write songs that garnered attention from heavy hitters in the music industry. For “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” Tollefson partnered with music producer Justin Armstrong, who he met at the annual Dave Matthews campout at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, Wash. Armstrong has worked with the Foo Fighters and Macklemore, among many other familiar faces in the music industry.

“Working with him, he challenged me,” Tollefson says. “In that some songs he would say, ‘I don’t like this bridge,’ or ‘I don’t like this prescore.’ ‘I hear your songs, you can write something better so take it back and give me something better.’ That’s the first

time that I’ve ever had someone tell me that. I want to work with him forever because of it.”

In addition to being challenged musically by Armstrong, Tollefson learned the lesson of patience while recording the new EP. Some weekends they wouldn’t be able to record because Armstrong would be working with Macklemore, for example.

“Working with some of the big league people, you have to be very understanding of their time and where their priorities are,” Tollefson says.

“And when you’re in the studio, you have to have fun. You can’t be overstressed. You can’t be expecting something magical because magic doesn’t happen every time. I think that’s the biggest lesson, was being patient even though my excitement and anxiety was up.”

On the eve of the release of “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” Tollefson performs with a seven-piece band at Mcmenamins' Father Luke’s Room. The venue brings back many great memories for him, as he released his last record, “The Polar Ends,”

there. He compares performing at Father Luke’s Room to playing in a living room with all of your favorite relatives and loves the kids dancing in front most of all.

“I’m still that dork, I’m still that guy that gets scared and I’m still a guy that works a day job and goes to great lengths to pursue music because I love it and it’s a sacrifice,” Tollefson says.

“What I love about Bend is being surrounded by those people and those artists and answering to them and showing them what I’ve created, but also in a way hoping to show them that there’s no reason why they can’t do the same thing.” SW

Rhythm and Blues

Lloyd “Have Mercy” Jones schools listeners on the history of funk, soul and the blues

By Anne Pick

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / May 18, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

16

This dude is for real and brings all the blues and funk you can handle.

L

loyd “Have Mercy” Jones knows the blues. When you talk to him, there’s no need for Google, as Jones is a walking encyclopedia of the history of rhythm and blues, from the major and minor players to dates and regional styles. Not only can he describe the differences between each of the styles, he can play them, too. Traditional, Old Chicago blues, New Orleans funk, Memphis soul, Texas blues. You name it, Jones plays it.

“My brother took me to see James Brown in 1964 and that was life changing,” Jones says. “Being a drummer, I went right to my teacher and said I want to do ‘Sign, Sealed, Delivered.’ I want to do the funky stuff.”

Jones, now known for his blues guitar chops, started as drummer, joining his brother’s band.

“When I got to playing, most of the bands were Chicago blues style. I loved the songwriting, but the rhythms weren’t there,” Jones recalls. “Why are we playing a shuffle on every single song? Why aren’t we playing some Memphis soul and some New Orleans funk? So that’s what I thought was missing. I started writing and using those kinds of grooves and finally started a band of my own in 1984.”

Jones loves rhythm and blues for

many reasons, but one that stands out the most is that it’s unique to our country. The diversity in the U.S. brings different flavors, interests and intrigue, which Jones believes is a good thing. The human element of the blues and of music in general acts as a good catalyst for communication.

To Jones, rhythm and blues represents American music.

A true road-dog, Jones spends most of his time on the road touring both nationally and internationally. In March, Jones plans to return to Denmark for the seventh time and has been on eight blues cruises. He loves the adventure of touring and meeting different people. Going to different places and touring inspires new ideas for Jones.

“Now, when I go back, it’s going back to see your friends. I love making friends and going back to see them and meeting other players, too,” Jones says.

Jones recently returned from Nashville with a wealth of new material. As a songwriter with a drumming background, he loves diverse rhythms played by incredible musicians. Expect a variety of different styles of the blues as well as some finger picking and funk grooves with a lot of dimension to it. SW

It is distinctly different from our other beers; it was first soured by lactobacillus and aged in a barrel for a few months prior to the saccharomyces fermentation. After this fermentation, we aged the beer in another barrel for over a year prior to packaging, using agave nectar as the sugar source for the yeast to naturally carbonate each bottle. This beer was never boiled and never had any hops added to it! It is a very old-world example of how beers were made prior to our modern methods. The low ph environment of the initial lactobacillus activity ‘preserved’ the beer and the alcoholic fermentation by yeast ensured that preservation.” 541-797-6265. NW Bend.

A 19th Century Day Trip

It’s North(west) vs. South in a Civil War reenactment

By Howard Leff 27

F

orget haggling with your Congressman at the next town hall.

The president’s coming to Central Oregon.

No, not that president. This one’s even more famous. Like, $5 bill famous. That’s correct. President Abraham Lincoln’s scheduled to make an address Saturday during the first day of the Civil War Reenactment at The House On Metolius Meadow north of Sisters.

And, according to the program, he’ll be taking “polite” questions from the audience. (Let’s hope Fox News doesn’t show up.)

The Civil War reminds us that way before the current political turmoil, the United States had deep divisions.

Some were solved through vigorous debate. (Lincoln-Douglas, anyone?)

Others wound up on the battlefield.

This weekend’s event continues a long tradition. Large-scale reenactments go all the way back to 1913— which marked the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. That one brought more than 50,000 actual veterans together. This time around, several hundred reenactors are expected to take part in activities ranging from mock battles (with cannons and muskets) to 1860s-era medical and fashion exhibits.

So what continues to draw

them more than 150 years after the final battle?

“The Civil War was the period that truly shaped America into the modern nation we are today,” says Bend reenactor Matt Cleman, who first signed up 10 years ago. “Understanding that period of history is necessary to understanding how we are now.”

Amazingly, Cleman plays the role of his actual ancestor: Archibald Dodson Napier of the Federal (Northern) Army.

“When I put on the uniform, it’s often as if I can feel Archie in my heart, and I feel a welcome opportunity to let him speak to visitors and

example. It’s easy to experience time travel. Plus, it’s just beautiful.”

The Northwest Civil War Council, which stages the event, believes that “as savage and tragic as it was, [the war] still represents the centerpiece of our history and has important effects for us as a people even in the 21st century.” The NCWC makes sure the event includes more than just battle recreations. Visitors can also experience the camps “to see and touch how the soldiers lived. Civilian life is also portrayed through examples of fashions, cooking, music, dances, secular and spiritual life,” according to the Council.

It's not a costume party; participants are trying their hardest to make it truly interactive, with an element of going back in time."

— MATT CLEMAN other reenactors,” he says. “I try to approach reenacting as if the war is actually occurring, as if the past is now present.”

Turns out this Central Oregon spot’s just perfect for “soldiers” such as Archie to relive one of America’s most agonizing periods. It’s a full five acres of mountain meadow setting. “The House On Metolius site has few, if any, intrusions of modern things,” Cleman says. “There’s no road noise, for

Reenactors take “realism” quite seriously during these events. It’s not a costume party; participants are trying their hardest to make it truly interactive, with an element of going back in time. Cleman first felt that way during a visit to Gettysburg he took as a 12-year-old.

“It’s a success if visitors feel, like I felt at Gettysburg, that they’ve met a real, living person from the 1860s,” he says. “When that happens, we learn

Civil War Reenactment and Living History The House on Metolius, Camp Sherman Sat., May 20, 9a-5p & Sun., May 21, 9a-4p Adults $8, Seniors/Students $5 nwcwc.net

that the motivations and concerns of people in the mid-19th century were very much the same as those of people in the 21st century. Technology changes, but people don’t change. That’s what I want them to realize as a result of visiting a reenactment.”

Both days open with 9 am infantry drills. You’ll also witness bayonet and musket practice while watching the cavalry ride in. After lunch, there’s an artillery demonstration and even a “Fashion of the 1860s” exhibit. The day’s final “Afternoon Battle” takes place at 3pm. You will, however, notice at least one thing you wouldn’t have seen during the actual hostilities: food and souvenir vendors.

Other than that, there’s not much standing between you and an authentic 19th century day trip. As Cleman notes, we could stand to learn a lot about our current predicament by examining this period. “Lincoln said, ‘Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents of this, as philosophy to learn wisdom from, and not as wrongs to be revenged.’”

With eloquence like that, who wouldn’t want to spend some quality time in the 1860s? SW

Suttle Lodge gets the warm weather season going with the reopening of the iconic Boathouse

Providing private, compassionate euthanasia services for your cats & dogs in the privacy of your pet’s home.

By Nicole Vulcan

New ownership, revamped spaces The urban aesthete will probably have heard of Portland’s Ace Hotel.

The owners of the Ace Hotel’s building (technically called the Clyde Hotel building), Robert Sacks and Dave Schrott, bought The Suttle Lodge in October 2015, putting its operations under the direction of The Mighty Union, a hospitality company that runs the Ace Hotel and several hip Portland bars.

Before reopening the Lodge last August, the team spent time revamping the main lodge building, adding a curated record collection (and record player) and the “Skip Bar” serving craft cocktails and bottled wines, and renovating the lakeside cabins. The Boathouse, meanwhile, had experienced flooding prior to the purchase and was not open for several years.

After adding a new, larger dock, more patio seating, a beer garden and a new, whitewashed interior, the team is opening the Boathouse once again Memorial Day weekend.

“The boathouse is kind of like our

most public space,” Bellingham tells me. “It’s pretty for a nice day, and of course, sunset.”

Other additions to the Boathouse include a fleet of human-powered boats such as paddleboards, canoes and kayaks, a jukebox, a meeting room, a small grocery store with basic provisions, and a pop-up shop from outdoor gear provider Poler. The beer hall outside, meanwhile, offers German beer hall tables, six beers on tap—and in grand Central Oregon style—lawn games. Also new to the area is a set of mountain bike trails near the lodge, going out to the Metolius basin, Bellingham says.

Meals in the Boathouse are casual and include chef Joshua McFadden’s fish sandwich, dubbed “the most epic fried fish sandwich” by Bon Appetit.

McFadden, the chef at Portland’s Ava Gene’s, is just one of the chefs who have taken over the main kitchen over the past several months, part of the Lodge’s guest chef series. This winter, when I attended the guest chef dinner

cooked by Rita You of the former Lucky Strike restaurant in Portland, I was in Sichuan heaven. That program, thankfully for all of us, will continue.

Also on tap for the summer are beer tap takeovers and a series of music shows, including Matt Pryor and Dan Andriano this Thursday, May 18.

The good part for visitors who don’t have a reservation to stay the night: the Boathouse and lodge is still open to the public, guest or not.

That’s also the good part for my dog, who isn’t going to mind much whether we arrive as daytime visitors or as overnight guests. What he will notice, however, is that he’s there in the first place, instead of stuck at home. SW

unset over the water, a fire popping out sparks, and friends clinking glasses of bubbles. It’s an idyllic vibe, characteristic of the everyday experience at The Suttle Lodge & Boathouse. But what’s really standing out for me: The dogs.

Little dogs. Big dogs. Fierce dogs and friendly ones, sniffing around in the sand. When you have a dog, you know they can be a headache and a hindrance to the weekend getaway you so badly need. That is, unless you’re at a dog-friendly spot such as The Suttle Lodge, nudging Suttle Lake in the Deschutes National Forest west of Black Butte.

“We always hear how happy people are to be able to bring their dogs, and the dogs all look super happy,” says Director of Sales Rebekah Bellingham.

The historic lodge—formerly known as the Lodge at Suttle Lake— reopened last August under new ownership. It’s long been the site of many a weekend getaway for people from Bend or Portland or other wet spots along the valley floor.

By welcoming my furry friend into the lodge (and the guest rooms and cabins), they’ve solidified my plans for this particular weekend. And with the upcoming reopening of the Suttle Lodge Boathouse, recently revamped, I have a feeling I won’t be the only one to reflect on the welcoming vibe for both humans and canines.

“These areas are managed to reduce disturbance to deer and elk during winter when they are particularly vulnerable due to colder temperatures and lack of food resources.”

“…more than 81% advocated for increased waterway protections, made specific recommendations for new protective rules, expressed the desire for further impact assessments, or emphasized limiting further development in and around the State Scenic Waterway corridor in general…”

Thinking small can make a difference Syria’s ongoing civil war has ignited one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time, with hundreds of thousands killed. The number of refugees is staggering. Countless Syrians are displaced—including over one million children.

eventually moved to Portland, where Ed and Barb lived from 1958 to 1978.

The couple later found their way to the Tollgate community outside of Sisters. They built their “dream home,” an open A-frame-type house modeled after a Swiss barn, where they lived for about 10 years.

Ed said they “had the world by the tail,” but then began dabbling in real estate, which Ed says “got my buns burned” when interest rates soared to 21 percent by 1980.

They then built a spec house in Redmond in 1987, one of only seven building permits that year, according to Ed. Eventually they custom-built a house that looked out on Mt. Jefferson, while Ed developed lots in the area.

In 2001, they decided to sell again and hit the road in a 5th wheel, logging thousands of miles traveling from Arizona to Canada and back to Redmond.

Those days of travel are gone now, as Ed continues his fight against cancer,

and Barb’s health keeps her homebound. Ed says his grandmother lived to be 94, adding, “So I may still have a few more years.”

In his study, the walls are covered by photographs, mostly black and white.

Among them are photos personally autographed by Duke Ellington and drummer Gene Krupa.

Ever the performer himself, Ed says he also has fond memories of working and singing at Mt. Bachelor. “I would sing off the balcony, and the skiers would give me a hand,” he says.

Ed remembers having a good stretch of about seven years during which he skied 200 days a year. “I’ve always loved the outdoors.”

He stopped skiing at age 79 after being “creamed” by a snowboarder, but he still loves to go over and fish the McKenzie River. “Singing and fishing are my main pursuits,” he says, adding that he also works out four times a week. “That’s something all elderly should do.” SW

By Howard Leff Plenty, it turns out.

The effort begins with art. Brave Collective’s upcoming “Tiny Art Auction” will raise money and awareness for Mercy Corps’ effort to help Syrian refugee families. The Portland-based nonprofit works to assist young people in war-torn nations, including Syria and Iraq.

The folks at Brave Collective took the effort straight into Bend elementary schools, hoping to get local students

involved in making and donating art.

“We found that the art-making process becomes a catalyst for discussion and that’s what this is all about—to get people talking about tough issues,” says Jennifer Riker, Brave Collective’s Tiny Art Auction coordinator.

Mercy Corps provided Brave with a stop motion animation video of a 14-year-old Syrian boy – depicting what his life is like as a refugee. He can no longer go to school and has a job in a

mechanic’s shop. “He basically has lost his youth, along with his hopes and dreams,” Riker says.

Bend students responded, with one elementary school alone donating more than 300 pieces of tiny art. Riker hopes the experience helps students understand that “when their entire family is sitting around the dinner table, they know that not all families in the world are safe and together.

“I also think the kids appreciate knowing about the struggles of other people, and that they, with their own tiny hands, can make a difference by making tiny art.” SW Brave’s Tiny Art Auction Brave Collective 133 SW Century Dr., #100, Bend Thur., May 18, 5:30-8:30pm shopbrave.com

Ed, 90, was in the U.S. Marines from 1945 to ’49. Nowadays he’s active with the Central Oregon Band of Brothers and the Redmond VFW. He says his military experience taught him physical and mental discipline.

After the Marines, Ed got on the G.I. Bill and studied business forestry in upstate New York, eventually landing a sales job with Georgia-Pacific.

After working for a time in New Jersey and New York City, Ed was transferred to company headquarters in Olympia, Wash.

Barb, 89, says she could not leave the humidity and hubbub of New Jersey fast enough. “I was glad to come out west, believe me. It was the best move we ever made,” she says. After leaving the East Coast, Barb says they “never looked back.” Shortly after moving west, she gave birth to one of their five children. “The nurses out here were so nice and so different than back east,” she says.

hat was it that drew Edward and Barb Kimball to Central Oregon 40 years ago? Was it the skiing, fly-fishing, beautiful scenery, or just the great outdoors in general? Try all of the above. Oh, yes, and the opportunity to sing for people whenever Ed has the chance.

Married for 67 years and now living in Redmond, the couple were high school sweethearts back in Rochester, N.Y. Ed has “retired” three separate times, the last time in 2006 when he was pushing 80. The first time he was 55, but “then I had to go back to work for 20 years.” Ed says he worked three jobs while in college. At Georgia-Pacific, he often worked 12 hour days and up to 18 hours when he traveled. “Work hard and you’ll get what you want,” is his message. He attributes his success to his work ethic and his love of the outdoors.

Ed says he used to sing at four or five assisted living homes during the 1980s, but had to stop after sustaining a stroke. These days, he can still be heard singing songs around town, at the bank, at Bi-Mart or perhaps at one of the bars downtown. With a repertoire of a few hundred songs, he has a business card that touts him as “Broadway Ed, Songs for most occasions, Sinatra - Nat Cole - Broadway - Irish

“Demorelizing” Adventures in Mushroom Hunting

LITTLE BITES

By Lisa Sipe

The rain promises mushrooms, but can you find them?

Photos and words By Lisa Sipe

Celebrate Local Food, a Pop-Up Farmers Market and Dine Out for Good

This time I snapped a photo and sent it to my mushroom-hunting friend because I wanted assurance. She immediately texted and said, “Those are not chanterelles!”

It would help if fellow mushroom hunters would take baby foragers under their wing, but they are secretive and possessive of their hunting grounds. I guess I get it; if I ever find chanterelles I might just keep that shit to myself, too!

This year we started foraging in the spring after seeing morel pics on Facebook. We got a lucky break because one friend mentioned where she hiked. At least now we knew we were headed to the right place. We decided to make several stops in case our first location was fruitless, which it was.

We were in an area with older burned pine trees over lots of different elevations. At each spot we inspected every log, burned or not. We started feeling “demorelized.” I asked my partner what he thought our probability of finding morels was? He said, “0 percent.” I responded and said, “I think we have a 10 percent chance.” I just

wanted to find one, just one— was that asking too much? I wanted a single mushroom to sauté in some salted Irish butter and enjoy it.

I kept my head craned down, staring at the underbrush, examining more logs. I noticed a brown orb that looked different than a pinecone. I squatted down to inspect. I screamed, “I found one!” while I busted into a celebratory dance that can only be described as Elaine from Seinfeld with more fluid hip movement. We savored the discovery and took photos of the spot to remember what a morel location looked like. In less than two minutes my partner found another one.

We felt the spell was broken and our eyes could see the morel beauties of the forest. We took home our first bag of edible mushrooms.

If I haven’t swayed you from mushroom hunting, I have a few tips for you. Be sure to pick up a mushroom permit. It’s free, covers five national forests and authorizes the collection of two gallons of mushrooms per day for 10 days per calendar year. If you want more guidance, the Central Oregon Mushroom Club has a meeting May 25 for folks new to mushroom identification, collecting, cooking and preservation. You’ll also learn about forest ethics and safety. SW

ave you heard the morel buzz lately? Maybe you’ve seen photos of a fresh bounty in a fabric-lined basket posted on Facebook by a happy friend? It brings out FOMO (fear of missing out) in some of us—especially me. That’s how my adventures in mushroom hunting began.

The first time I looked for mushrooms was in the fall a few years back, when my partner and I decided we’d look for chanterelles. We did some research and brought along a handy, popular, hip pocket guide: “All That The Rain Promises and More...” by David Arora. The dude on the cover looks completely blissed out on psychedelic mushrooms. Groovy!

Finding mushrooms was quick and easy; but unfortunately, they were the LBM (little brown mushrooms) variety. They weren’t edible, but their discovery gave me hope. I felt I had “the eye.” We spent hours searching and found nothing edible. This experience happened quite a few times. On a few occasions we forgot our mushroom guidebook and it made things worse. I swear that day we really found chanterelles but without any references we weren’t willing to take any risks, you know, because of poisoning and the possibility of death.

Eventually, on the coast we discovered edible white mushrooms, boletes.

Finally! We put them in a bag and hiked back to our car. We drove back to Bend, but when we opened our mushroom bag it was filled with maggots. It would be a while before we looked for fungi again.

The following year we let go of the maggot incident. Who am I kidding? That image is forever seared into my brain, but I was willing to soldier on. This time was after a big rain so the forest was filled with all kinds of mushrooms busting through the forest floor, emerging on decomposing logs.

Lots of mushrooms looked like chanterelles. We referenced our guidebook and the mushrooms met all the criteria, so we thought we hit the jackpot.

Monkless’s taproom in northeast Bend is like going to Belgium without leaving town.

I

t wasn’t terribly long ago that residents of Bend’s northeastern quadrant didn’t have much in the way of local beer. Folks nearby downtown or in the Old Mill are spoiled for choice, with 10 or so craft brewers and many more fine pubs within walking distance. Around the northeast, though, Bridge 99 Brewery and the neighboring Wubba’s BBQ Shack was about all there was without having to tool down the Bend Parkway. No longer.

Bridge 99 is still kicking it royally, of course, slinging out Wizard Falls IPA and a litany of other classics on Saturdays and weekday afternoons. These days, though, they’ve been joined in the neighborhood by Monkless Belgian Ales, which opened up their new and quite fancy-looking taproom just off NE Empire this past week. They’ve been open for a while now, but previously only offered brews in a tiny space near the brewing equipment; the new taproom next door is a major upgrade that, among other things, allows them to provide Belgian beer in proper Belgian-style snifter glasses.

Monkless, run by the husband-andwife team of Todd and Robin Clement, moved into these digs last year, a fairly large space that once housed 10 Barrel Brewing’s production facility back when it was about a tenth its current size. (10 Barrel founders Chris and Jeremy Cox still own the building; they’re leasing it to the Clements.) They’ve coincidentally installed a new 10-barrel brewing system inside, a big step up from the 1-barrel operation Todd started with in his basement during Monkless’ early days. The setup includes some equipment originally owned by the now-defunct Old Mill

Brew Wërks.

As the only brewery in the region specifically focused on Belgian-style ales, Monkless has already made a splash across the city. Heady concoctions like the powerful Pour Pour Pitiful Me quad and light, summer-friendly Shepplekofeggan witbier have been a regular at places like Zydeco and White Water Taphouse for a while; a tap takeover event at Eugene’s famous Bier Stein bottle shop and restaurant is slated for this summer.

It’ll no doubt be a busy summer for them, as their taproom launch coincides with Uber’s launch in Central Oregon, making it more convenient for Bendites to take a quick look-see without having to risk a car trip back.

And they’ll be coming to the area in droves, thanks in no small part to 10 Barrel launching its own taproom next to its own production facility, just a couple blocks from Monkless on NE 18th Street.

As the throngs who attended 10 barrel's birthday bash and concert last week can attest, the AB-InBev money was put to rather epic use. 10 Barrel has two buildings in the northeast, one for the brew system and the other devoted to the bottling/packaging line, office space, and the new taproom. People who have been to 10B’s Portland location will find the pub space similar—it’ll offer an industrial-type atmosphere, fresh pizza and other casual food, and twenty taps of the latest. The official opening is May 25; check their Facebook for details on the “Fancy Beer Series” tasting party they’ll host during Central Oregon Beer Week. SW

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

“King Arthur: Legend of the Sword”

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / May 18, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

36

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: Disney is on a

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

This one stars Emma Watson as Belle and the smashingly handsome Dan Stevens (from “Downton Abbey”) as the Beast, while also featuring all of the same beloved songs from the original. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX,

BORN IN CHINA: Disney takes a look at the

wildlife of China in this adorable documentary.

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

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

This one could go either way. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX, Sisters Movie House THE CIRCLE: With Tom Hanks basically playing Steve Jobs in this thriller about a tech company that doesn’t understand the concept of privacy, it should be a no-brainer. The book by Dave Eggers is a great one, so the movie has promise. See full review on p39. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

COLOSSAL: A giant monster movie starring

is an unmissable addition to the cinematic universe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER: A man who

has made a career out of seducing older women marries a rich lady twice his age, only to be dumped by her 25 years later. With nothing, he must reinvent himself the only way he knows how.

A surprisingly great little movie. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KING ARTHUR: Hollywood has struggled for decades to make a decent movie based on the story of King Arthur, and advanced word on this says they still haven't done it. Director Guy Ritchie is responsible for “Snatch” and the new “Sherlock Holmes” movies, so even if “King Arthur” is terrible, it will still be interesting to look at. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema RISK: From the documentarian who brought us

the absolutely astounding “CitizenFour” comes her next masterwork. This time she focuses on Julian Assange and Wikileaks and the controversy surrounding the man. This is a must-see for those fascinated by our current situation with the White House. Tin Pan Theater.

SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE: Kids are

Anne Hathaway as a failed writer in middle America who has a strange connection to the giant beast in South Korea. A modern monster classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Tin Pan Theater

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

THE DINNER: Based on the electrifying novel

SNATCHED: What's really interesting about this

by Herman Koch, this film tells the story about two couples meeting for dinner to discuss something shocking their children have done. When the parents show savagery barely contained by modern society, the story becomes almost unbearably tense. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS: I unapologetically love these movies, and if you’re basing any sort of negative opinion just on the first few of the franchise, then watch numbers five through seven and be amazed. The action set pieces keep escalating with each film, so much that by the next film, don’t be surprised if our crew of badasses ends up in space. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX GIFTED: Chris Evans finally has a chance to take a step outside of the Captain America uniform to play a single father raising a child prodigy. He struggles to decide whether to give her a normal life or send her to a school for gifted children.

Looks like a fairly typical tearjerker. See full review on p39. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX GOING IN STYLE: A comedy/heist movie

starring Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin sounds like a great time at the movies, that’s no mystery. What is a mystery, however, is why Zach Braff from “Scrubs” is directing this? Sisters’ Movie House, Redmond Cinema

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2:

Marvel Studios strikes again with its most colorful and bizarre adventure yet. If you love Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Rocket and Groot, then this

one (aside from the fact that director Jonathan Levine is a great filmmaker) is that it's Goldie Hawn's first movie in 15 years. Her presence, combined with Amy Schumer, Joan Cusack, Wanda Sykes and others, makes "Snatched" much more interesting than its pedestrian plot would signify.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

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

comedy with a wartime drama and follows two writers who get hired to write propaganda for the UK during WWII. They fall in love and throwback hijinks ensue. This looks like an absolute delight.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

THE WALL: There's no Pink Floyd involved with

this wall. This follows a U.S. soldier in the Middle East who is trapped behind a crumbling wall as sniper fire pins him down. Director Doug Liman started the “Bourne” franchise, so he knows his way around a tense shootout. This one looks exciting. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

Fest SCREEN Hump Dan Savage’s Amateur Porn Film Fest HUMP! Aims to Change the Way We Make, See and Share Porn

By Magdalena Bokowa

New Patient Visits ~ Seasonal Allergies ~ Food Allergy Testing ~ Fatigue ~ Insomnia ~ Bioidentical Hormone Balancing ~ Thyroid and Adrenal Disorders

I

t was about three films in that I realized what strange and humorous twists my writing career has taken— and that I need living room curtains.

Sitting in my fishbowl of a front room, watching as strangers of all shapes, sizes, genders, non-genders, kinks and quirks embraced their vulnerabilities and got down and dirt-ay for viewers, I realized the mind-boggling feat that Dan Savage’s carefully-curated HUMP! Film Festival had achieved.

I mean, watching multiple men don a “Make American Gay/Great/Grate again” hat, without it being distasteful, is a tremendous feat alone.

Now in its 12th year, and with recent articles in Playboy, Buzzfeed, Vice and Huffington Post, the traveling fest which normally plays to a modest audience of 20,000 across the U.S. is gaining steam — showing that America is finally getting down with its kinks.

As I watched a montage of two aerial yogis gratifying one another to a Fiona Apple-type-'90s rock song, perched along a Central Oregon ridgeline, I turned to my partner, who, glued to the screen, had to endure my onslaught of inane and not so-sexy commentary: 1. “For F-sakes, they’re at high altitude, I hope they slathered on some sunscreen.”

2. “What Go-Pro mount do you think they’re using?

3. “Wait a second, is that Broken Top in the background?”

While “Fuck on the Mount” wasn’t as much of a cinematic feat as some would come to expect from the conventional porn industry, one that pulls in a whopping $14 billion a year and really, and I mean, really, tries to put the definition in High Definition, the film won in the fest’s Best Sex category at this year’s fest. Submitted films are five minutes or shorter and do away with the bouncy-breasted, peroxide blonde and frosted-tip steroid hogs we’re so used to seeing in mainstream porn (or mom, if you’re reading this, I meant to say HEARING about, in mainstream porn.) No wonder Psychology Today reports that more and more teenage boys are growing up with a skewed view of the female body.

It’s all that damn mainstream, conventional porn.

It’s this concern that makes you realize — and then endorse —that

This ain't no peroxide blonde, bouncy breasted, frosted-tip steroid hog porn. These are sexy, real folks.

this is a film fest embracing the vulnerable and the outlandish as much as the everyday, serving as a platform for everyone. This is where you’ll find that next-door neighbor you’ve always had an inkling about, the recluse tech-geek coming out of their shell, the curvaceous male-to-female in-transition or the immigrant grandmother you really had no clue about. From “You’ve Got Tail,” which explores animal dress-up and submission to “Camping Trip,” a year-long sex journal, to the hilarious “Birthday Boss,” in which a sex-call goes awry, the films can be hilarious, mesmerizing, steamy and yes, at times, uncomfortable. I mean, watching a cock-a-pult, (exactly what it sounds like) can be comical, but also, a bit awkward, especially for my male counterpart.

Portland native Kimberly Brady has been acting and performing on stage and in film for almost a decade.

Her film, “Birthday Boss,” won Best Comedy at the festival this past year.

A cofounder of the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, she’s been involved in large fests before, but never submitted a piece to HUMP! Brady touts the inclusivity, and says, “Hump has been a great experience! It’s such a unique opportunity for us to take our crazy/ dirty little ideas out and put them out into the world. The audiences in Portland and Chicago were phenomenal... it’s so great to have such large crowds checking out each other’s kinks in a fun, positive way.”

Festival creator Dan Savage repeatedly promotes it as a sex positive experience, and in a recent article for Playboy, said, “You’re a straight guy watching hardcore gay porn, or you’re a gay guy watching cunnilingus... But then the mood changes. Everyone is cheering and clapping after every film.

At first all anybody can see is the differences. And halfway through everyone starts to see the similarities, or that everything is exactly the same.”

Last year when I dragged my partner to the fest at Volcanic Theatre Pub, I was eager to see who would be in attendance. “It’s gonna be like a mini Portland,” I said, brimming with excitement “We can all fly our freak flags!” I was disappointed, however.

Everyday humans wearing puffy jackets filled the space, bringing about a realization that HUMP! has an uncanny ability to bridge boundaries and foster a comforting space to even those not-so-kink inclined (hey, I’m not judging puffy-jack-ers, I wear one too.)

It’s a promise to performers to destroy the submitted content and forbidding cell phones and recording devices that harbors an extraordinarily inclusionary feel, whether you’re straight, bi, gay, trans, vanilla, kinky or otherwise. Films at HUMP! will make you celebrate the sexuality that is within all of us. They will make you push boundaries and make you uncomfortable. They will make you laugh, maybe even cry and most definitely turn you on. And isn’t that when the magic happens? No, not when you’re turned on (although I forgive you for having your mind in the gutter). The magic happens when you’re pushed out of your comfort zone and get to see the other side. That moist other side. SW HUMP! Film Fest

"Gifted" almost finds the heart of mathematics

By Jared Rasic

SC

Mary a full ride to a school for gifted children, Frank turns it down because he believes Mary’s mother would have wanted her to live a normal life and have a childhood filled with friends and fun.

Enter Diane (Lindsay Duncan), a severe and intense woman who happens to be Frank’s mother and used to be a gifted mathematician in her own right. She wants Mary to devote her life to mathematics. A serious custody battle ensues.

Young Mckenna Grace gives such an honest and heart-rending performance that she should end up as one of the most popular child actors working.

Grace and Evans have such an easygoing connection that it doesn’t take much suspension of disbelief to buy them as family.

Jenny Slate is always such a joy to watch that even in a film more formulaic than her usual work, she elevates every moment she appears. Slate and Evans have chemistry to burn (which makes sense because they fell in love in real life), so it’s very easy to get invested in the romantic aspect of the movie.

“Gifted” falls apart in the third act.

39

The deeply touching central relationship of "Gifted" is bolstered by fine performances.

There, the drama becomes manufactured and loses its truthfulness. There are some very interesting moral arguments the film began making, such as the responsibility of parents to make sure their children are living up to their potential, but the script backs away from any of the headier ideas.

Early in the movie, there’s a beautiful scene of Frank and Mary in shadow, watching the sunset as the little girl climbs all over him asking about the existence of God. It’s a beautiful

moment and one of the best scenes of the year, so it’s a shame how deeply flawed the film surrounding those few minutes ends up being. Ultimately, the film is worth watching even though it fails to be as special as the characters that populate it. SW Gifted

The Circle screams at social media

By Jared Rasic

T

he only reason the film adaptation of “The Circle” will be remembered is because it’s the final screen appearance of the actor Bill Paxton after his untimely and shocking death. Not to be overly harsh, but the film is so forgettable that discussing it feels like time that could be better spent focusing on the ideas that it ignores or reading the book it’s based on.

Dave Eggers is such a gifted writer that it’s almost predictable at this point how distinct and varied his bibliography has become. Eggers began his career with a non-fiction memoir about his experiences raising his little brother after the untimely death of their parents, then attacked Hollywood with a powerful and perfect adaptation of the beloved children’s book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” and followed that up with a bleeding edge techno-thriller.

That’s why it’s so surprising that Eggers is listed as co-screenwriter (along with director James Ponsoldt) of the adaptation. It’s almost

like he missed the entire point of his own novel or at least strip mined it for its three-act structure without carrying out any of the ideas that made the novel an entertaining read. The book is nowhere near Eggers’ best work, but it’s still compelling and hard to put down.

One of the best things about the novel is the character of Mae Holland.

Following her excitement and wonder as she gets hired by a tech giant known as The Circle (a thinly veiled hybrid of Facebook, Google and Apple) is intoxicating. We learn everything about the Circle as she does, which gives the book a page-turning quality found in the best summer reads. Sadly, Emma Watson doesn’t find the heart of Mae. She imbues the character with emptiness, so the ideas of the people around her can bounce off of the hollow shell of her ever-shifting personality.

“The Circle” predicts a future where cameras monitor our every moment of life, all for the sake of being immersed even more heavily in social media. This concept is a great one

Hanks for the memories. This film is nothing like a box of chocolates.

and sounds like the perfect setup for an episode of “Black Mirror,” but the direction and the script lose all sense of self-awareness, instead aiming to be a deadly serious drama. That complete failure of tone means the film accidentally plays as satire even as its makers want the audience to be chilled by its half-assed “prescient” ideas.

The film’s central horrifying idea is that of “total transparency” and how society should beware the dangers of all forms of online and social media.

Maybe one day all of humanity will be literally plugged into their own computers and can share Instagram photos straight from our own eyes, but this is an argument that’s been going since the advent of Myspace.

To spin true fear out of the ideas that the film (and novel) trade in, it has to play as something different than an old man standing on his lawn yelling at the clouds. For “The Circle” to be as scary as it wants to be, it needed to prove that if the sky started falling we would capture pictures of it before saving ourselves. Instead, the ideas just sit there, hoping someone will project their own fears upon them and pretend like the movie actually had anything to say in the first place. SW The Circle

t can be very surprising how lovely something so simple can be. “Gifted” is predictable, formulaic and deeply flawed, but the combination of perfectly calibrated performances and some honest and charming character work make the film a lovely piece of cinema, at times. The movie doesn’t do anything differently than dozens of other family dramas have done, but it’s executed with such heart that it’s easy to ignore the problems.

Chris Evans plays Frank Adler, a man who retreated from life several years earlier after his sister committed suicide, leaving her six-month-old child, Mary (Mckenna Grace), without a guardian. Frank has been raising Mary, who is now a precocious sevenyear-old exhibiting signs of mathematical genius. Frank and Mary are the best of friends and love each other deeply.

Watching them together is heartwarming but, because this is a drama, we know their happiness can’t last forever.

On Mary’s first day of first grade, her teacher, Bonnie (Jenny Slate), sees that the girl is a genius and would be sadly under-stimulated in public school. When the principal offers

Blowin’ in the wind: Disc golf on a blustery spring day

By Wyatt Gaines, Nicole Vulcan and Richard Sitts

Wyatt Gaines, 20-something You’ll swear, you’ll walk, you’ll discuss technique. A bit like ball-golf, as dubbed by our guide, disc golf involves a great deal of technique and flow. First timers will brace themselves as they tee off with that big, flat, clumsy driver in front of their friends, but slowly one starts to ease into themselves and the game becomes totally friendly. Definitely an ideal activity for the “take-it-easy” among us, disc golf is seven to 10 seconds of focus followed by a leisurely

Nicole Vulcan, almost 40-something None of us were total noobs to the sport of disc golf, but seeing Lane’s throws compared to ours, it was clear we were definitely in need of some practice.

My longest throws went half the distance of Lane’s, at maximum, and often wobbled and pitched into the trees. The object of the game, according to the Professional Disc Golf Association, is to “traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest throws of the disc.” So naturally, the fact that it took me five or more throws to get to the basket target wasn’t good.

Still, watching Lane’s follow-through and heeding his advice to “throw along the nipple line” was helpful, and by the later holes I was starting to throw better. But what’s really helpful about playing with an experienced player is learning which disc to use when. Sure, I could continue to play with the two old discs left behind by some errant roommate, but were I to take this seriously, I’d invest in a couple more discs and learn more about what they do. Plus, learning the capabilities of each disc will probably mean less irritation for old shoulder injuries as I try to huck the discs as far as Lane. Maybe someday…

Richard Sitts, 60-something When I found out we were going to play disc golf, it was like hearing from an old friend. I first started playing what we used to call “Folf ” (for Frisbee golf) on the pastoral campus of Kansas State University in the early 1980s. Someone had made up the course that had us throwing around and between buildings, through the crooks of giant broadleaf tree branches and down long pedestrian walkways. Back in those days, there were no fancy chain baskets in which to putt. Instead, we had to throw our discs to strike light posts, trashcans, statues, fountains and other fixed objects. I recall one particularly tricky hole where we had to land our disc up on the elevated entryway platform leading into one of the campus buildings, while hoping that some unsuspecting

student was not strolling out of the door.

So on a recent mild, weekday afternoon, we headed north. What a wonderful course! It’s a wide, shallow canyon, scenic and protected a bit from any wind. The late afternoon sun put a warm sheen on our sagebrush meandering, and the weather and the scenery were ideal. It was so relaxing and fun that I didn’t even bother keeping score. I think I averaged at least two throws over each par 3 hole, but you couldn’t tell it from the smile on my face.

Whereas “regular” golf has been described as “a good walk spoiled,” Frisbee golf can be thought of as “a good walk enhanced.” To the casual onlooker, it might look rather simple and unexciting, but the sweetest pleasures in life are often the simple ones.

And when you do achieve that towering drive or chain-rattling putt, it does get exciting. Now that my dormant passion for this sport has been awakened, it’s time to let those discs fly. SW Central Oregon Disc Golf Club

walk with your disc bag and some friends.

Advantages to disc golf are plethora. Half the fun of disc golf is visiting all of the courses. You can play in a dry gulch, an alpine forest area or even urban courses with neat architecture. It’s relatively cheap, with brand new discs going for $10-20 and starter packs for $20 and up, and everything else is free.

That being said, I can’t picture myself doing this one solo; a group of friends to keep me entertained is definitely a requirement. Bonus if you can bring your dog on the course without him attempting to retrieve every one of your discs…

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 20 / May 18, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A

lot of the outdoor activities in Central Oregon require 1. Spendy gear (skiing or mountain biking, for example) or 2. A level of skill or physical prowess that, without it, the thing is decidedly less fun (rock climbing or mountaineering, for example).

That’s not to say that disc golf doesn’t require a level of skill in order to play effectively—it’s just that a beginner can get out there, try it out, and still have some fun doing it. Oh, and the gear required for the game will set you back far less than investing in—or even renting—that slick new mountain bike. With that in mind, we set out to give some of our local disc golf courses a try—and perhaps secure a new activity we could enjoy with friends who visit from out of town.

“It gives you pace and purpose and it’s just a simple way to interact with nature and other people,” says Ryan Lane, a local disc golfer.

In this region, the driver (yes, we’ll let that pun stand…) behind building courses and furthering the sport is the Central Oregon Disc Golf Club.

Its members have been integral in building and/or assisting in the design and construction of the many courses in the area. In addition to the 10 courses listed as “endorsed” by CODGC, there are a handful of “renegade” courses. A quick visit to the club’s website will get you started finding a course near you.

From there, you can start with about three discs; a putter for close range, a mid-range disc and a driver for those long distances.

Of course, most members of CODGC carry more than three. When we met Lane, a club leader who’s taken part in national competitions, he was packing a bag of a dozen or so discs with varying weights and types of plastic, offering varying levels of “drop” and other variables.

We met Lane at the Dry Canyon Disc Golf Course, a nine-hole course adjacent to Redmond’s Spudbowl City Park and the Weigand Family Disc golf guru Ryan Lane.

Natural World Don’t step on the eggs!

By Jim Anderson

Killdeer on her eggs, and what her eggs look like.

dry out.

As soon as individual killdeer young are flying, they join others of their kind and begin their long trek southward to spend winter in a warmer environment.

By the time we’re shaking and shuddering in the cold winds of fall, killdeer are already getting close to their wintering grounds throughout South America.

As much as I do not like to disturb a killdeer on the nest, the display the female puts on is quite remarkable to witness. As she “falls off the nest,” she seems to drag herself away from her eggs with an obvious broken wing, giving off a pitiful call as though she’s dying. She’ll drag herself away from the nest trying her best to get attention, extending her “broken” wing and doing her best to convince the intruder she’s about to die and the intruder should follow her. If that strategy doesn’t work, she’ll then put herself in jeopardy by approaching the intruder closer and closer and putting on the broken wing act with great drama.

Once, on a warm day when I accidentally disturbed a momma killdeer on her nest, I stuck with her through her whole magnificent routine, slowly walking toward her nest. At that point I was filled with guilt as she all but threw herself right at me to turn me away from her eggs.

And speaking of eggs, most ground-nesters’ eggs, at least all the plovers, are unique in that they have a pointed end. I once asked a young man on an OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) field trip years ago why that was as we stood looking at them in a nest over near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. He didn’t hesitate, saying, “There has to be room for the beak.” Actually, the pointed eggs keep the eggs from rolling out of the nest."

Ya’ know, that young man went into OSU wildlife management school when he graduated high school, graduated from OSU and went to work for Idaho Fish and Game, and is now retired.

And here I am, headin’ for 90 and still remember that day. Am I lucky, or what…? SW

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 20 / May 18, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

here are two ground-nesting birds common to Central Oregon that need help when it comes to surviving during nesting time: the killdeer and common nighthawk. Both lay eggs (almost always four) that are all but invisible because they look like the pebbles surrounding them—often getting mushed by people, cattle or wildlife.

Recently, while leaving Sisters Gallery & Framing where I had a great discussion with Helen Schmidling over some rare raptor paintings, I was headed for Pony Express when Kerry and Barb Bott of Sisters said hello and launched into a tale about killdeer nesting. The killdeer is really a plover and enjoys a genus name, Charadrius, that goes back to classical Greek and Latin.

The species name, vociferous, which as anyone who has been near a killdeer nest knows, speaks for itself.

It seems a small herd of deer were curious about what was going in a field close to the Bott’s backyard and started a killdeer shouting match that got the attention of Kerry and Barb. When they went to see what all the hollering was about, lo-and-behold, there were five or so mule deer heading over to give the eggs a look-see. Curious people and dogs, killdeer can pretty much handle. Mom goes into the old “broken wing act” that includes a lot of yelling and screeching that most dogs find very annoying and leave the scene as rapidly as possible. (I have a hunch killdeer learned that trick a long time ago dealing with wolves, coyotes, badgers saber-tooth cats and other pestiferous critters.)

But for some unknown reason, the mule deer heading for momma killdeer’s space were not shushed off, and two other killdeer, perhaps recognizing a call for help from the upset mom killdeer, came over and joined her in scaring off the mule deer. It worked.

Now, if you’re of the right frame of mind, please do your part and not annoy them. Stay away from ground nesters (all nesters, for that matter).

Killdeer are not the best nest-makers in the world, just scraping a few pebbles into a small pile and laying their four eggs inside the pile. Causing a killdeer to leave her nest sets back the developing time for the young, as the eggs cool down quickly, and probably could, in time, cause serious problems.

So if you’re out walking your dog and it scares up a killdeer, please leave that area as rapidly as possible and take Rover with you. Then, the next time you’re on a walk in the general area, please keep Rover on a leash, or avoid it all together.

I’ve often said, and it’s almost true, that a killdeer chick hatches running.

They are perhaps the most precocial of any of the ground-nesting birds.

They are up and running—and looking for insect prey—just as soon as they

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Failure To Lunch

I’m not ready for a relationship now, so I’m having a friends-with-benefits thing with this guy. He typically takes me out to eat before we hook up. However, a couple of times, he had someplace to be right afterward, so he didn’t take me out to eat first. It really bothered me, and I’m not sure why. I know it’s just sex; we’re not dating. But I felt super-disrespected and almost cried later in the evening. I guess I felt used, which is weird because we’re really “using” each other.

— Puzzled

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / May 18, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

To a guy, “just sex” is enough. You don’t have to tell him he’s pretty and take him to yogurtland.

Although intellectually, “just sex” is enough for you, too, the problem is your emotions. They might just seem like a sort of wallpaper to add oomph to your mental den, but evolutionary psychologists Leda Cosmides and John Tooby explain that emotions are actually evolved motivational programs. They guide our behavior in the present according to what solved problems that recurred in our ancestral environment. Many of the threats and opportunities they help us manage are universal to male and female humans, thanks to, say, how a hungry bear isn’t all that picky about which sex its double humanburger

comes in.

However, in the let’s-get-it-on-osphere, there’s only one sex that gets pregnant and stuck with a kid to feed. So women, but not men, evolved to look for signs of a sex partner’s ability and willingness to “invest.” Even today, when that investment isn’t there, female emotions are all “Ahem, missy!” — making you feel bad: hurt, disrespected, used. Wanting to feel better is what motivates you to take corrective action. As anthropologist John Marshall Townsend observed about female subjects from his research: “Even when women voluntarily engaged in casual sex and expressed extremely permissive attitudes, their emotions urged them to test and evaluate investment, Amy Alkon detect shirking and false advertising and remedy deficiencies in investment.”

And no, you can’t just plead your case to your emotions with “But I’m using birth control!” Your emotions are running on very old software (predating even those early ‘90s AOL floppies), so as far as they’re concerned, there’s no such thing as sex without possible mommyhood. In other words, if you’re going to make casual sex work for you, you need to see that it works for your emotions. Basically, your body is your temple, and prospective worshippers need to sacrifice a goat to the goddess — or, at the very least, buy the lady a hamburger.

ASTROLOGY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): My pregnant friend

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you to try the following meditation: Picture yourself filling garbage bags with stuff that reminds you of what you used to be and don’t want to be any more.

Add anything that feels like decrepit emotional baggage or that serves as a worn-out psychological crutch. When you’ve gathered up all the props and accessories that demoralize you, imagine yourself going to a beach where you build a big bonfire and hurl your mess into the flames. As you dance around the conflagration, exorcise the voices in your head that tell you boring stories about yourself. Sing songs that have as much power to relieve and release you as a spectacular orgasm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In normal times, your guardian animal ally might be the turtle, crab, seahorse, or manta ray. But in the next three weeks, it’s the cockroach. This unfairly maligned creature is legendary for its power to thrive in virtually any environment, and I think you will have a similar resourcefulness. Like the cockroach, you will do more than merely cope with awkward adventures and complicated transitions; you will flourish. One caution: It’s possible that your adaptability may bother people who are less flexible and enterprising than you. To keep that from being a problem, be empathetic as you help them adapt.

(P.S. Your temporary animal ally is exceptionally well-groomed. Cockroaches clean themselves as much as cats do.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lady Jane Grey was crowned Queen of England in July 1553, but she ruled for just nine days before being deposed. I invite you to think back to a time in your own past when victory was short-lived. Maybe you accomplished a gratifying feat after an arduous struggle, only to have it quickly eclipsed by a twist of fate.

Perhaps you finally made it into the limelight but then lost your audience to a distracting brouhaha.

But here’s the good news: Whatever it was — a temporary triumph? incomplete success? nullified conquest? — you will soon have a chance to find redemption for it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): While shopping at a funky yard sale, I found the torn-off cover of a book titled “You’re a Genius and I Can Prove It.” Sadly, the rest of the book was not available. Later I searched for it in online bookstores, and found it was out ofprint. That’s unfortunate, because now would be an excellent time for you to peruse a text like this.

Why? Because you need specific, detailed evidence of how unique and compelling you are — concrete data that will provide an antidote to your habitual self-doubts and consecrate your growing sense of self-worth. Here’s what I suggest you do: Write an essay entitled “I’m an Interesting Character and Here’s the Proof.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Leonardo da Vinci wrote a bestiary, an odd little book in which he drew moral conclusions from the behavior of animals.

One of his descriptions will be useful for you to contemplate in the near future. It was centered on what he called the “wild ass,” which we might refer to as an undomesticated donkey. Leonardo said that this beast, “going to the fountain to drink and finding the water muddy, is never too thirsty to wait until it becomes clear before satisfying himself.” That’s a useful fable to contemplate, Libra. Be patient as you go in search of what’s pure and clean and good for you. (The translation from the Italian is by Oliver Evans.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): My friend Allie works as a matchmaker. She has an instinctive skill at reading the potential chemistry between people.

One of her key strategies is to urge her clients to

write mission statements. “What would your ideal marriage look like?” she asks them. Once they have clarified what they want, the process of finding a mate seems to become easier and more fun. In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I suggest you try this exercise — even if you are already in a committed relationship. It’s an excellent time to get very specific about the inspired togetherness you’re willing to work hard to create.

47 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 20 / May 18, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Myrna is determined to avoid giving birth via Caesarean section. She believes that the best way for her son to enter the world is by him doing the hard work of squeezing through the narrow birth canal.

That struggle will fortify his willpower and mobilize him to summon equally strenuous efforts in response to future challenges. It’s an interesting theory. I suggest you consider it as you contemplate how you’re going to get yourself reborn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In ancient Greek myth, Tiresias was a prophet who could draw useful revelations by interpreting the singing of birds. Spirits of the dead helped him devise his prognostications, too. He was in constant demand for revelations about the future. But his greatest claim to fame was the fact that a goddess magically transformed him into a woman for seven years. After that, he could speak with authority about how both genders experienced the world. This enhanced his wisdom immeasurably, adding to his oracular power. Are you interested in a less drastic but highly educational lesson, Sagittarius? Would you like to see life from a very different perspective from the one you’re accustomed to? It’s available to you if you want it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “You remind me of the parts of myself that I will never have a chance to meet,” writes poet Mariah Gordon-Dyke, addressing a lover. Have you ever felt like saying that to a beloved ally, Capricorn? If so, I have good news: You now have an opportunity to meet and greet parts of yourself that have previously been hidden from you — aspects of your deep soul that up until now you may only have caught glimpses of.

Celebrate this homecoming!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I predict that you won’t be bitten by a dog or embarrassed by a stain or pounced on by a lawyer. Nor will you lose your keys or get yelled at by a friend or oversleep for a big appointment. On the contrary! I think you’ll be wise to expect the best. The following events are quite possible: You may be complimented by a person who’s in a position to help you. You could be invited into a place that had previously been off-limits. While eavesdropping, you might pick up a useful clue, and while daydreaming you could recover an important memory you’d lost. Good luck like this is even more likely to sweep into your life if you work on ripening the most immature part of your personality.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Time out. It’s intermission. Give yourself permission to be spacious and slow. Then, when you’re sweetly empty — this may take a few days — seek out experiences that appeal primarily to your wild and tender heart as opposed to your wild and jumpy mind. Just forget about the theories you believe in and the ideas you regard as central to your philosophy of life. Instead, work on developing brisk new approaches to your relationship with your feelings. Like what? Become more conscious of them, for example. Express gratitude for what they teach you. Boost your trust for their power to reveal what your mind sometimes hides from you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “A two-year-old kid is like using a blender, but you don’t have a top for it,” said comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Would you like to avoid a scenario like that, Aries? Would you prefer not to see what happens if your life has resemblances to turning on a topless blender that’s full of ingredients? Yes? Then please find the top and put it on! And if you can’t locate the proper top, use a dinner plate or newspaper or pizza box. OK? It’s not too late. Even if the blender is already spewing almond milk and banana fragments and protein powder all over the ceiling. Better late than never!

I searched Leafly and made some calls, but I didn’t see any dispensaries in Oregon carrying the Moon Rocks brand or their equivalent. But that doesn’t have to stop you in your quest to get really, really high for an outrageous sum.

First, get some tight, well-manicured buds. You’ll also need some liquid form of cannabis oil, such as hash oil, rosin, BHO/PHO or the CO2 oil from a vape pen cartridge. If using rosin/wax/dabs, you will need to heat them up just enough so they liquify.

You can place them in a small bowl or cup and place that into a container of hot water.

Hold your bud with a pair of tweezers and either dip the bud into the liquefied concentrate or use a small pastry brush to cover the bud with the oil. Then decide if you want to now dust the bud with kief, or let the freshly soaked bud “cure” for days, weeks or a month. If you choose to go the first route, you will need to hit the bud with a second coat of oil before dusting it with kief. If you have enough kief, you can take the freshly oiled bud and submerge it completely. A silicone baking sheet is a great tool to place them on to deal with the stickiness.

Smoke it as you would any other bud, but mind the kief; you want to capture every precious grain. Forgo the grinder and use a small, sharp pair of scissors to parcel out your dose.

You won’t need much—a quarter gram should be plenty—and I always use a water pipe, as the trio of products can be super hard core on the throat. They make great gifts as well, for yourself or others.

ey Josh,” a reader recently wrote me, “I have a birthday coming up, and I’d like to indulge myself. I keep reading about a cannabis product called “Moon Rocks.” What are they, where can I buy them and can I make my own?”

Happy Birthday, and yes, you can buy/make moon rocks, but be prepared to spend all the singles and fives your grandma stuffed into a Peanuts birthday card, and then some. Seriously, this won’t be a cheap undertaking.

Moon rocks are simply three cannabis products that join forces to make something stronger than their individual selves; kind of like The Avengers, except without Black Widow, because get real, a pistol isn’t going to stop aliens. C’mon.

In brief, the very tippy top shelf buds that you can find are soaked in hash oil, then rolled in kief. You may also hear them referred to as “Cannabis Caviar,” although that term is normally reserved for buds that have simply been soaked in hash oil, forgoing the kief. Some producers are swapping out rosin for hash oil, the solvent-free concentrate gaining a growing following.

The origin of moon rocks, much like the fate of our nation, is somewhat hazy. Many claim that they were brought to the attention of the general public via the California rap artists Kurupt and Dr. Zodiak. They have a website touting their moon rocks, which also features a number of free mixtapes by the artists and their friends. Their rocks are only available at California dispensaries, although similar products may also be found in other states such as Colorado, where they are known to sell for as much as $1,400 per ounce or $50 a gram. Many feel the price is worth it, as the products test in at over 60 percent THC. The tradeoff is that these are about potency, and the draw on them can charitably be called “rough.” For those who are seeking maximum pain relief, that may be a worthwhile trade off.

(Stoners from the ‘70s will tell you that these are not new, and that bell bottomed ballers of that time would often roll fat joints in Zig Zags striped with hash oil, and finished with a sprinkling of crumbled hash. Then again, many will also tell you they were

Time to get science-y.
