OPINION Letters

~Irene Walker Gilbert via www.bendsource.com

IN RESPONSE TO “BEND PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT CLOSES PASSAGEWAY CHANNEL AT THE WHITEWATER PARK FOR EVALUATION,” (6/9) I suggest BPRD make it safer for floaters to exit the river for portage in the interim. It is an overused, narrow and hazardous trail filled with pushing and shoving people at this point.

I love the Bend Parks Department, but this has shown poor planning and insufficient testing.

When they modified the surfing channel they should have modified the floater passage. Now we have lost another year to ugly construction and needless delays. ~Ponciano Montoya via www.bendsource.com How about instead of spending the unnecessary funds to transform part of the river into an unnecessary attraction, we fix the roads?

The river construction did nothing but close down a vital artery for traffic and then when it’s “done” it looks unfinished—like when the house is finished before the landscaping—but that’s just how it looks. I’m at a loss as to why this project was even embarked upon and how they justified spending the money on it. Bend Park and Rec employees and directors DRIVE around Bend right? How about infrastructure, potholes, bike lanes and all the other things that should have been put ahead of this ridiculous venture. People actually LIVE in Bend— we don’t all just come here for vacation. Can we cater to locals, please, FOR ONCE! ~Tony Leeds via www.bendsource.com The Park needs to own up for lack of education of the public on what is needed to float.

Allowing people and kids to float on low quality Intek, Wal Mart, Costco toys is on the park district. When it reopens, get a few lifeguards

IP 28 money is intended only to assure that the unreasonable wage increases the governor negotiated with public employee unions and the overspending that has occurred during the last two legislative sessions controlled by a Democratic senate, house and governor have been approved absent any money to pay for them.

Oregon is in the business of controlling and thus destroying Oregon businesses through mandated wages, sick leave, etc. which is being touted as “helping” the poor when actually, it will result in eliminating thousands of jobs and placing an ever increasing number of workers on the public gravy train. I am a retired state worker, and quite honestly, public employees and retired public employees need to face reality and stop bankrupting the state.

to screen the entry to the white water park.

Tell floaters yes or no. Pull the people out with the wrong tubes, no life jackets—easy easy easy. ~Marty Scheafer via www.bendsource.com

BEND WHITEWATER PARK CLOSURE The closure of the Bend Whitewater Park is ridiculous. After 9.7 million dollars of our money was spent to create a fun, outdoor attraction in the heart of Bend, it is being shut down on account of a few scrapes and bruises?

I joined this community because of the adventurous spirit that exists here and because we embrace nature. Of course, nature comes with inherent risk and it is important to remember that it is, after all, a river and not a controlled setting like a water park.

After going through the rapids myself in a kayak and on a tube I can’t help but think that shutting down the Whitewater Park is just a perpetuation of what has become the American attitude of catering to the least prepared in our society. How about educating users on how to enjoy the river safely instead? A better solution to this issue would be to add the appropriate signage reminding floaters of the risk and direct them to the easy exit point and portage around the rapids at their discretion.

It seems to me that Parks and Rec is acting like an overprotective mother in shutting this down, which is not their role. Please let us take responsibility for ourselves. It’s truly a shame that those of us who take personal responsibility and enjoy heading out for a little adventure on a hot day are being deprived of the Whitewater Park that we paid for. I, for one, will continue to enjoy the passageway this summer at my own risk.

Taking Responsibility for River Trash

As more tourists pour into Bend, they are packing in plenty of trash. Unfortunately, they’re not packing it out. Two weekends ago, the beach at Miller's Landing was littered with deflated rafts and other detritus, prompting a lively discussion on social media about what should be done about it.

Parks and Recreation is responsible for the cleanup of park property, but they acknowledge that garbage removal doesn’t happen daily at all parks and trails, and when visitors don’t use designated garbage cans, it requires more time for the maintenance staff to clean it up versus doing other maintenance work.

The Deschutes runs through private property as well, and homeowners along the river are expected to clean up the mess that accumulates in their yards.

Local volunteer groups host river cleanup events, but the day-to-day debris generated by river floaters isn’t any one entity’s responsibility. (See Angela Moore's news story on page 7.)

Ideally, everyone would pick up after themselves, and we should certainly encourage everyone to do so. But signs reminding people that their mother doesn’t work here will only go so far.

In order to keep the river clean, we’re

going to need to put public resources toward cleaning up after the increasing number of river runners who have been lured here by slick marketing campaigns, convenient river shuttles, and easy-torent innertubes.

We can’t expect these visitors to “just know” where the trash bins are located along the river, or what to do with their rubbish once those bins have overflowed. What we can expect is escaped Crocs and Nalgenes, float-away flipflops and beer bottles, and abandoned pool toys that sprang a leak on the lava rocks.

It’s easy to feel outraged when we see piles of trash lining the beloved Deschutes, and it’s convenient to blame the tourists who have discovered - and embraced—our perfect little drinking town with a mountain problem. But we’d be better off as a community if we stopped shaming visitors and assigned responsibility to clean up the mess that the floating hordes will inevitably leave behind.

Bend’s patchwork approach to river cleanup is clearly inadequate to address the growing trash problem. As a community, we need to pool our resources to ensure that a single entity takes responsibility, is held accountable, and has adequate resources to do the job. Bend Parks and Rec or the City of Bend should lead the charge and take responsibility for developing a funding mechanism to address this problem, whether it be a surcharge or bond measure. We should not continue to rely on individual do-gooders and property owners to do a job that rightly belongs to government. SW

River Trash: Whose Mess Is It, Anyway?

Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler.

Oregon State Treasurer Calls For More Diversity in Boardrooms Studies suggest that greater gender balance among corporate leaders contributes to higher stock values, productivity and profitability, but corporations have either failed to get the message or failed to act on it. According to a press release from Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler, “White directors hold 85 percent of the board seats at the largest 200 S&P 500 companies—and the percentage of those boards with exclusively white directors has actually increased over the last decade. Men occupy 80 percent of board seats at S&P 500 companies.”

T

rash. Garbage. Refuse. Waste. Litter goes by many names and comes in many forms, but whatever you call it, during the summer season in Bend, it is becoming more and more prevalent. As sun-seeking tourists and residents alike flood the river with inflatable fiestas, garbage is accumulating in their wake.

The associated raft rentals, snow cone purchases and hotel stays spur the local economy, but locals who live and play along the river are increasingly wondering whether it’s really worth it, when they find themselves cleaning up the litter left behind.

Bend writer Katy Bryce ignited a passionate online conversation last week when she posted photos of a trashstrewn beach at Miller’s Landing, which she and a handful of longtime Bend residents quickly decided to clean up themselves.

But who is truly responsible for keeping the river clean? Is it Bend Parks and Recreation, which ferries floaters between put-in and take-out? Or a few individual landowners whose properties line the float path? Local volunteer organizations? The floaters themselves?

The answer is yes. They are all responsible for their own part of the process, creating a patchwork cleaning crew of public and private parties that currently, despite their best efforts, cannot quite

love of nature and an active outdoor lifestyle.

The Bend Parks and Recreation District (BPRD) covers a 2,600-acre area that hugs Shelvin Regional Park, Cooley Road, Hamby Road, and Knott Road, and that is a lot of land to cover. Mike Duarte is the Landscape Manager for the BPRD. His job includes going out daily and physically maintaining the refuse. His jurisdiction covers 175 acres not including the trails, and based on 10 years of experience in the role, he says that while litter along the river is an affliction, it is not a new one. “The issue ebbs and tides. It is mostly a seasonal issue and when the hot weather rises, so does the amount of trash.”

Aaron Henderson is the REI Outreach Coordinator and shares his experience with a program called Community Stewards. These volunteers (all associated with REI) look after the rivers year-round to ensure the litter stays manageable. Henderson offers insight as to why trash is becoming such a prevalent problem: “I think a certain amount of trash just gets away from people, and it is an honest accident. Others are lazy, or may not feel they have responsibility for the area they are recreating in.”

There are many volunteer organizations that contribute to the cleanup that are heavily relied on by the BPRD. Some of the organizations have either adopted parts of the river or just go out to maintain the lands when they can. Some of the groups include, but are not limited to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, the Lava City Roller Dolls, Paulina Creek Construction, and REI of Bend.

REI Bend has adopted a portion of the Deschutes River that runs through the Old Mill District, an area that does not fall under the BPRD jurisdiction. This is a company familiar to most of Bendites primarily for its shared policies on the

As far as REI’s connection with the district, Henderson says that they did have to engage with the BPRD during the adoption process. However, he has no recollection of any involvement after the fact. The portion adopted by the business means fewer acres for the district to tidy.

Julie Brown, the new communications director for the BPRD acknowledges that the issue of trash being left behind falls under the District’s jurisdiction; however, the department cannot cover it all. “We are disappointed that the early hot weather brought more trash along the river than normal. Trash in the parks is the responsibility of the Bend Park and Recreation District. With that ...Continues on page 8

Wheeler and a dozen other investment industry leaders on the Oregon Investment Council released a statement saying, “As fiduciaries, we are unified in the belief that the lack of diversity on corporate boards is a significant risk factor for investors. Corporate boards must do better.”

Wheeler said efforts to diversify boardrooms are “unacceptably slow,” and called on corporations to “pick up the pace” by adding women, people of color and LGBT members to their boards.

Bend Loses Longtime Community Activist Barbara McAusland Bend lost a longtime community activist last week with the passing of 88-year-old Barbara McAusland. Born May 26, 1928, in West Point, NY, she worked as an artist and art teacher, earning a master of fine arts in printmaking at the University of Washington.

McAusland moved to Bend in 1994, taking active refuge in hiking and skiing opportunities and maintaining the Todd Lake Trail with her beloved Labrador, Max. She worked tirelessly for sustainable growth in Bend through her service with the public schools site committee, Friends of Bend, the board of the River West Neighborhood Association, and citizen participation in Bend City Council meetings.

To the end, McAusland remained optimistic about the future of Bend, and during the June 12 service to celebrate her long and productive life, she left a final message to the town she loved: “Let the river go free!” SW

Neighbors Jaik Goff and Sarah Magness both live along the river and are constantly reminded of the trash problem.

For the past couple of years, Goff has organized a group of like-minded citizens to fan out and attack the rubbish head on. Magness joins in on the cleanup when she is able. Overall, she says she is disappointed with what she has been seeing wash up on her lawn. “I just find it really sad,” she says. “I think the citizens need to step up, but I also think that the City and the Park’s Department could do a better job by sending more people out to walk around and pick up the garbage.”

number, however, pales in comparison to the estimated 2.5 to 3 million estimated visitors to Central Oregon in 2015, according to Visit Bend. The money coming in can be a blessing for businesses, but how much of that tax revenue is being spent to maintain the parks that these visitors are frequenting? In the Oregon Travel Impact Report compiled for the Oregon Tourism Commission in May 2016, for every $100 spent by tourists in Central Oregon, about $4.40 of that is local and state tax revenue.

According to the same report, tourists

Tourists spent $791 million in Central Oregon alone in 2015, contributing to the $10.8 billion spent in the state as a whole.

This means that roughly $475 million is being absorbed by local and state taxes.

Sasha Sulia, superintendent of park operations for BPRD, states that those living on the riverfront are responsible for maintaining the waters outside their property.

Goff does that and more, going out on kayak to sweep the garbage up the best he can, as frequently as he can. He also has strong feelings about BPRD and what he calls a “lack of caring.” He believes that most of the mess is from the department turning a blind eye to what outsiders are doing to the Deschutes.

“It is a free-for-all out there. Parks and Rec are allowing tourists to do whatever they want. They are concerned about the dollars, not our rivers,” he says.

“They are appeasing people from out of town.”

Bend is known for its beautiful parks and interactive waters, so much so that most of the 82,000 residents use these facilities on a daily or weekly basis. This

spent $791 million in Central Oregon alone in 2015, contributing to the $10.8 billion spent in the state as a whole. This means that roughly $475 million is being absorbed by local and state taxes.

Both Brown and Duarte mention that to prepare for the influx of summer visitors, BPRD will be hiring two temporary maintenance workers and will be adding an unspecified number of trash receptacles in the parks and along the river.

The true measure of success of this loose cleanup collective will be determined at the end of the summer. In the meantime, Bendites should brace themselves for the annual deluge of river trash. SW

SEX, LIES & SNAPCHAT Locally-based novel focuses lens on sex trafficking in Central Oregon

By Alyce Pearce

“SEX IS A CURRENCY THAT’S RENEWABLE, IT NEVER RUNS OUT, GIRLS CAN BE SOLD MULTIPLE TIMES A NIGHT.”

-MELISSA PARKER

Then, Zoey realized her sister had disappeared.

She staggered upstairs in a drug-laced stupor and found Camille passed out and naked on a bed. Unable to stand, Zoey felt herself collapse next to Camille. Hours later, Zoey awoke. Now, both she and her sister lay naked, their bodies

BOOK COVER IMAGE FROM CHRIS STOLLAR'S "THE BLACK LENS"

covered with Sharpie-drawn obscenities and crude pictures. As quickly as possible, Zoey fled the scene with her sister, ashamed and scared as they drove back to their trailer home and mother. Then, the texts came.

“Ur sister is hot.” A Snapchat picture showed Camille naked on the bed.

“Ur even hotter.” Then, a picture of Zoey.

“If u tell ur mom about the pics, I’ll beat ur sister.”

Text threats were just the beginning. What followed became a living nightmare of sexploitation in rural Central Oregon for the two socially vulnerable teen girls. A web of fear first cloaked in feigned adoration ultimately coerced them into a ring of paid sex acts, pimps and powerlessness.

Zoey and Camille are not real. They’re characters in a just-released novel by author Chris Stollar called "The Black Lens." Written by the previous Bend resident and Bulletin news reporter with Central Oregon as a backdrop, "The Black Lens" reminds us that human trafficking, sex slavery and exploitation are real. For many young people in Central Oregon, the world of sex trafficking is non-fiction.

“I first heard about sex trafficking soon after I started working as

a news reporter in Bend for The Bulletin,” explained Stollar. “Some of my sources kept encouraging me to investigate a truck stop in La Pine that they claimed was being used as a hub for trafficking. It started a decade-long quest to research and write about this issue.”

Stollar’s recent novel focuses a lens on a burning question: Just how much sex trafficking truly exists in Central Oregon?

Defined as sexual activity involving a child in exchange for something of value, CSEC (Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children), or “sex trafficking,” has entered the American vernacular. National and local statistics frame the issue: Globally, the International Labor Organization estimates that there are 4.5 million people trapped in forced sexual exploitation globally.

In a 2014 report, the Urban Institute estimated that the underground sex economy ranged from $39.9 million in Denver, to $290 million in Atlanta.

In 2015, Cascade Youth and Family Services reported serving 498 homeless, runaway and street youth. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an estimated 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported were likely sex trafficking victims. CYFS served 101 runaways. Doing the math, that’s potentially 16 victims at one shelter alone.

“We’ve had girls…and boys…self-report for years that they’ve traded their body to survive on the street,” said Melissa Parker, Project Manager for Cascade Youth and Family Center, and part of Central Oregon’s CSEC Response Team that combats sex trafficking locally. The team is comprised of the City of Bend Police, FBI, Deschutes County District Attorney and numerous shelters and advocacy groups. “Now we call it something different. If I perform oral sex and somebody else is profiting from it, that’s commercial sex. There’s a third party involved. I don’t think it is a newer development.”

What has shifted, Parker and others on the team note, is the extent and nature of sex trafficking.

SEX SELLS AND SELLS: MACHIAVELLIAN RENEWABLE COMMODITY “It used to be that guys were trafficking drugs, but drugs are a commodity that you can get caught with,” said Stephanie Alvstad, Executive Director of J Bar J Youth Services in Bend. “When you’re trafficking girls, it’s pretty lucrative because you sell it, and you turn it around, and you sell it again and again. It’s an awful concept, but they’re ‘reusable.’ More and more of the nefarious ...Continues on page 10

“Sex is a currency that’s renewable, it never runs out,” echoed Parker. “Girls can be sold multiple times a night.”

Keith said that sex trafficking presents many parallels to modern terrorism—nimble, elusive rings with distinct hierarchies of power and devotional loyalty in exchange for protection and honor. A victim’s promise of being valued and cared for fosters a deep sense of belonging that creates a built-in protection system for kingpin sex traffickers. It also leads to a low level of self-reporting by victims, who often won’t reveal the identity or activities of their

Because sex sells more than once, trafficking activities have adapted to capitalize on this renewable resource.

and runaway youth since 1998, passionately related how she has learned firsthand how victims of sex trafficking become trapped due to their social and emotional vulnerabilities.

Adolescents are inherently prone to seeking approval, value and acceptance, she said.

Those disenfranchised from parents due to alcohol, divorce, step-parenting or abuse are at risk of getting into “the life” even though they don’t mean to.

“Your adolescent brain puts you at risk. If someone’s going to tell me I’m smart and

to track trafficking activity, said recruitment happens largely on social media. This allows pimps to recruit and operate in a virtual world hidden from the public eye.

“Grooming happens at different levels,” explained Parker. “It’s not like the head dude’s walking into the school saying, ‘Come on, girls!’ It’s not the classic pimp picture.” She added that often girls who post age-appropriate selfies to attract attention make themselves vulnerable to social media recruitment. “[Then], little by little, there’s an indoctrination and desensitization to the point where they [the pimps] say, ‘You do me this favor because you love me, right?’”

Keith adds, “When they’ve got the girl either emotionally or physically, then they actually have to sell the girl. [Often] that happens online."

This April, David Cobbs, 35, was arrested locally for sex trafficking, and he’s not the first. Since January 2015, officials have made nine other arrests for prostitution and trafficking-related crimes, according to Deschutes County District Attorney records. Keith explained how local rings, like the one Cobbs was in, feed into a larger trafficking network.

AND RELATIONSHIPS OF THE

“King David [Cobbs] comes up every month out of LA—Seattle, Portland, Bend. He has a handler in every town, and connects those handlers with the girls. They meet at a hotel and they bounce and within two days she’s on Backpage,“ Keith said.

JUVENILE SEX TRAFFICKING

NOT IN MY BACKYARD?

MARKET STRUCTURE

The statistics and signs are there, yet for many communities, skepticism remains when it comes to believing sex trafficking is a local problem. Is this happening? Worsening? Or, is this issue a matter of smoke and mirrors?

IDENTIFIED COMPONENTS

Keith and others say focusing on reporting numbers as an indicator of the problem can be misleading due to the complex psycho-social dynamics inherent to sex trafficking. Cases locally continue to occur.

Working with ex-CIA and military personnel, his Central Oregon nonprofit operates much like military Special Forces, using grassroots tactics to track and identify sex traffickers and their victims in major Western cities.

THE OPPORTUNITY HIGHWAY To maximize profits, the sex trafficking industry has hit the road, says Keith, utilizing known drug trafficking routes to move human cargo between cities, orchestrating commercial sex hookups along the way.

Keith noted, “The Mexican [drug] cartel was driving things up 97 and dropping things in Terrebonne. If the drug route is there, you’re going to have a people route, too. You have this young group of kids that are here, and this demand from men who are coming into town for business, activities and recreation. What we’re doing is bookending the I-5 corridor.

Seattle, Portland, Northern California, South-

gatekeepers: the pimps. To infiltrate these rings that hide amid the technology and local ether, Keith said it takes an on-the-ground, multi-faceted and collaborative approach to identify pimps and bust sex trafficking rings.

“Girls can get hooked into trafficking from the local scene, but creating a web of advocacy is also a catch-point nationally [in order to] catch a trafficking phenomenon that is always on the move,” Keith argues. “Girls can spend just one night in Bend, and be in Las Vegas the next.

Then Seattle. The emphasis is on education for identification and advocacy.”

GIRL POWER: THE GROOMING PROCESS Understanding how this high-profit, opportunistic culture of commodity can target and exploit vulnerable youth, then, becomes critical, advocates like Parker say.

Parker, who has worked with J Bar J homeless

beautiful and capable of doing lots bigger things than living at home and doing ‘boring’ things. I want to hear that,” she explained.

“They’re not prostituting themselves. They’ve been sold. Their self-esteem is tied to it. Their identity is tied to it.” “[Victims] don’t actually know it’s happening until it’s happening,” said Alvstad.

“The girls are making money, but they’re giving it to the pimps, [who buy] them all sorts of things. They get nice clothes, the drugs they want…it’s an interesting phenomenon.”

“Since April, and the King David case, there’s probably been four,” Keith shared. “There was a girl who got booked into juvenile detention, and she said, ‘I’m a victim of trafficking.’ She’s opened the door to [so many more.] This informant we’ve got has listed five others where we know these girls are victims.”

J Bar J’s Alvstad said, “It’s just happening more and more. We’re hearing about it. We have three girls in our shelter that have been trafficked. They don’t always self-identify as victims, which is the hard part.”

“It’s like expecting all the wives of abusive husbands to come forward,” explained Keith, who said he sees about one case of sex trafficking locally every two weeks. After his interview, he called back to say he’d just received a call about another.

KISSY FACE

SMALL TOWN SEX TRAFFICKING

In addition to psycho-social factors, prolific technology serves as a stealthy tool used to coerce and manipulate victims into a life of sexual exploitation, Parker and Keith said.

Despite evidence that sex trafficking is on the move through Central Oregon, Keith and Parker concur that much of the community remains unaware or struggles to accept that it

could be happening here.

“We are viewed as Pleasantville. So, it’s the perfect place to do any crime,” said Parker.

“We’re walking by people and not thinking we have sex trafficking because we don’t want to.“

“Anytime you have a place with men and money, the homeless at risk population and the Internet, it’s a trifecta for it happening here.

And it’s off the grid,” Keith said. “When Chris, [Detective Morin, City of Bend Police] did a Backpage sting, it was local men, too. Doctors, lawyers, roofers.”

According to Keith, some community members remain resistant to acknowledging the local existence of sex trafficking. “When you try to get people to understand the problem, most of the time it’s almost like they go through the stages of death. They deny it. Before acceptance they get angry. There are few you can get to say, ‘Yeah, let’s do something about this,’ because they don’t want to believe it. It’s a huge paradigm shift and they can’t handle it.

The reality is that it’s happening in every city.”

ROUTES OF DOMESTIC SEX TRAFFICKING IN THE U.S

Keith believes the slow acceptance is also because, “It hits them economically, financially as well. People in this community who make money don’t want to talk about it because this community is viewed as safe.”

explained. “When you’re educated about real things and you have true knowledge, you’re safer. We’re not trying to scare people, and [these efforts] in our community seek to eradicate it.”

PROACTIVE PREVENTION

“Everything that’s come out, the majority of what’s come out [about sex trafficking] is scare tactics,” Keith reflects. “People end up having compassion fatigue. People think, ‘Another thing? What can I do about this?’ versus being proactive and inspirational, saying we’re not

Ultimately, the goal of the Response Team and its players is not to instill fear, and to be proactive rather than reactive.

going to let it happen in our community. Our community can do something about [this].

Let’s go after this problem and let’s do it with people, together.”

Next month, J Bar J is submitting a Street Outreach Federal Grant to The Family Youth Service Bureau. This grant will fund the Street Outreach program—providing workers on the street to build trust, provide resources, and reduce the risk of trafficking.

SH: Sleep or lack of sleep is the biggest thing and then I would say food. You simply can’t control the food on the road even though we try. And for the most part shows are parties and our regular life is not one big party. That can be tricky.

SW: When can fans expect the new record?

SH: Can’t say much yet but we just signed a new label deal and a new awesome single should be released soon.

Can’t wait for peeps to hear it.

TSW: You basically revolutionized

"We can play with the Sugar Rays of the word, but we could also hold our own with Van Halen."

SH: Every album is a certain moment of time we can’t mimic or even try to top because it’s just different. That being said, I think people will be totally surprised when they hear our new material.

Steve Harwell and Smash Mouth bring the soundtrack of summer to Bend.

S

mash Mouth came on the scene in 1997 with the album “Fush Yu Mang,” which is the noise you make make while screaming expletives at the person that just smashed your mouth.

With that album, the San Jose, Calif.-based band jumpstarted a resurging Ska craze almost single-handedly, becoming totemic to the idea of a “Summer Record.” For months, their “Walkin’ on the Sun” single and their cover of WAR's, “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” were the ubiquitous soundtrack for life.

It was 1999’s Astro Lounge that saw them step back from their initial ska sound and dive headfirst into ear worm, hook-driven pop music. With songs like “All Star,” “Then the Morning Comes” and their cover of “Can’t Get Enough of You, Baby,” Smash Mouth crashed into pop music like a juggernaut with goofy songwriting, radio-ready hooks and mellow vibes, bro.

Since 1999, they’ve released six more albums including a greatest hits record, all in keeping with their pop-friendly vibe. Lead singer Steve Harwell remains a true mainstay, with his signature high energy, raspy vocals.

The Source Weekly recently interviewed Harwell, and we have included an excerpt below from that conversation.

Source Weekly: You have been together for almost 22 years now.

How has touring changed for you?

What do you still take the most joy from? The least?

Steve Harwell: Always loved touring the most and still do. We do way more one-offs now and that’s OK except flying is a bitch. I love tour buses and for the last three-four years we’ve done awesome summer tours on buses.

SW: What are some of the bad habits you have on tour that fall by the

SW: Having toured for so long now, do you have a preference between the bigger shows and the smaller ones? Indoor vs. outdoor? Festival vs. headlining?

SH: Nothing like a huge outdoor radio festival with tons of bands, but sometimes a cool, smaller club packed and all sweaty can be fun, too.

SW: What can someone expect from a Smash Mouth show if they haven’t yet seen you live?

SH: The overall energy. We play the songs like a damn heavy metal band with drum solos and each song is sped up a bit. We can play with the Sugar Rays of the word, but we could also hold our own with Van Halen. SW

BITE OF BEND GUIDE 2016 / 3

WELCOME TO THE 2016

DOWNTOWN BEND JUNE 17TH-19TH

PRESENTED BY

The 2016 Bite of Bend is here, and to the 87,000-odd who call Bend home nowadays, there’s really no clearer sign that summer is finally, blissfully here. It’s the only place to find over 40 food vendors from across Central Oregon, offering everything from old standbys like hot dogs and pizza to noodle bowls, cheesesteaks, and artisan delights. You’re guaranteed to see something you’ve never tried before—and, with all restaurants offering special “bites” for just two dollars each, there’s no reason not to graze to your heart’s content.

Not that it’s just about food, of course.

No festival in Bend would be complete without a virtual ocean of locally-produced craft beer, but the Bite also boasts a special section devoted completely to Oregon’s craft spirit and cocktail scene. The Top Chef competition, featuring the best and brightest our foodie scene has to offer, will be taking place all weekend. The Beer

Run—and its kid brother, the Little Hopper Root Beer Run—will have weekend warriors young and old jogging and drinking all over Bend’s west side. And the music, capped by frenetic rockers Sassparilla and Chrome Pony, will keep the scene hoppin’ all day and night.

Everything kicks off with a special preview version of the Bite on Friday, June 17, followed by the full show on Saturday and Sunday. If three days doesn’t seem like enough to try everything, fret not—the Bite Week Series continues on for four days afterward, with chef dinners, demos, and classes taught by professional chefs throughout Bend.

Between all the food, drink, and good times, there’s no event quite like the Bite in Bend’s annual roster of outdoor festivals.

Bring the family, bring the kids, but—most of all—bring a healthy appetite!

AN ODE TO MIXOLOGY Two events bring Bend’s best cocktails to the forefront. With happenin’ joints like Velvet, Dogwood, and The Barrel Thief Lounge, downtown Bend and environs has become just as top-notch a spirits and cocktail scene as it’s proven to be for beer.

Nowhere is that so obvious as it is during the Bite of Bend, with two different events offering a grand tour of Central Oregon’s hard-alcohol genius in a single location.

The Bite Mixology Showcase, taking place across Friday evening and all of Saturday as well, is a fine place to introduce yourself to everything available around town. $10 paid in advance (biteofbend.com) or $15 at the door allows access to over 35 craft spirits and 10 types of cocktails, hailing from all across the Pacific Northwest. Looking for locally-distilled gin and vodka? Done. Want to check out what Oregon Spirit Distillers has

been up to on the whiskey front lately? No problem. (A lot, by the way.) Got a hankering for some of Townshend’s line of tea-infused spirits—including the No. 5 Smoke Tea which the Source called “a campfire in a bottle”?

Welcome home.

And what kind of mixology festival would this be, of course, without some kind of competition? The Bartender’s Brawl is not, despite what the title insinuates, an actual boxing match to the finish—it’s a competition featuring the best mixologists in Bend competing against eachother for the right to be called Cocktail King. “Oldie But Goodie” is the theme this year, which brings to mind Prohibition-era favorites like whiskey sours and sidecars. What will the competitors come up with, though? Check it out and see—the Finals Friday night on the Mixology Showcase stage. Plus, once the winner’s crowned, it’ll be a snap to pop over to their bar and try out the rest of their arsenal.

KIDS CAN RACE FOR BEER, TOO SATURDAY, JUNE 18TH

NOON, 12:15 & 12:30 Root beer, that is—and fro-yo!

L I T T L E

ROOT BEER RUN

$5

On Saturday, June 18, starting at noon, it’s going down on Troy Field. What is? A lot of root beer, of course—and a lot of smiling, happy kids. (Though that may just be their impending sugar rush kicking in. It can be hard to tell on a weekend like this.)

The Bite of Bend, like a lot of businesses across Oregon, is an all-inclusive kind of scene. Nothing proves that more than the Little Hopper Root Beer Run, allowing boys and girls from ages 3 to 10 to join in the drink-and-jog action their moms and dads get to enjoy on Sunday afternoon. The best part? Unlike the Beer Run, the participants aren’t all tipsy afterwards. (That would be both illegal and somewhat irresponsible festival administration.)

The whole thing couldn’t be simpler. Just show up at Troy Field on Saturday—if you haven’t heard of it, it’s the grassy field on Bond and Louisiana street, about a block south of the Bite of Bend festival itself. Pay

five dollars for admission, and it’s off to the races. It’s not a long race, nothing like the 5K grown-ups have to run on Sunday, but there’s a catch—while running around, kids will also have to grab and build up the key components of the root beer float they get to enjoy at the end of it all. Singing for their super, in other words—or is that dessert?

Races for the three and four-year-olds begin at noon on Saturday. This is followed by 12:15 pm for ages 5-7, and finally 12:30 pm for ages 8-10. And there you have it! That’s all it takes to enjoy a little run, a bunch of root beer, and even some frozen yogurt, kindly provided by Cuppa Yo. If the Saturday sun gets to be a bit too much for families along Bond Street, there’s no better way to kick back and relax a bit.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 24 / June 16, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Two of Bend’s passions combine for the Beer Run.Time to grab some running clothes, get in shape, and condition for the big race. Or just exercise the liver at the local watering hole instead. Or both!

Proving that cardiovascular fitness and craft beer really are two great tastes that taste great together, the annual Bite of Bend Beer Run (sponsored by Alpine Physical Therapy) on Sunday, June 19 is a 5K race loop that tests both physical strength and bladder strength in a single event.

Participants start at the courtyard by Crows’ Feet Commons, lumbering down Drake Park (mostly downhill—you’ll be glad for that later) and along Riverside Boulevard. One beer stop later provided by Cascade Lakes and your on the way to GoodLife Brewing, where hearty encouragement and plenty of Sweet As Pacific Ale will be available. Then it’s back up Columbia, zooming across Galveston Avenue, but certainly not before checking out 10 Barrel at the third rest stop. Overindulgence at this point might mark doom for inexperienced racers, but smart folks who pace themselves will have no issue running past Harmon Park, across the footbridge, and back to Drake Park for just a tad more Deschutes Brewery beer

THE FOOD GETS HOPPIN’ ON FRIDAY NIGHT The Bite of Bend may not begin in its full, downtown-dominating form until Saturday, but that’s no reason not to hit the streets Friday night—when Minnesota Avenue will play host to a smaller-sized, yet still hefty preview of what’s to come.

The “Bite of the Bite” this year, taking place up and down Minnesota starting Friday 5-10pm, will offer a subset of the food stalls people have come to expect from this annual event, along

with music, adult beverages, and everything else required to kick off the weekend right.

All the food vendors will be offering two-dollar “bites”, of course—just like all the ones showing up for the Saturday and Sunday sessions—but on Friday night, the stalls participating in the Bite of the Bite will offer their regular, full menus as well.

Bad day at work? Have a hankering for gelato or street tacos that refuses to listen to reason? This Friday, it’s all good.

Top Chef Returns 71

WHOSE BEND CUISINE TRULY REIGNS SUPREME?

AFTER A ONE-YEAR HIATUS, CENTRAL OREGON’S VERY OWN TOP CHEF COMPETITION IS MAKING ITS TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE BITE OF BEND. It’ll be impossible to miss—just take a casual stroll down the Bite’s streets and look for the groups of chefs cooking like their lives depended on it. (Bragging rights are a powerful thing.)

Kicking off bright and early on Saturday, Coldwell Banker Top Chef pits the best that the region’s restaurants and kitchens have to offer against each other as they take the themes and ingredients of each challenge and use them to craft the best, most original dishes they possibly can. They’ll be working their craft in special outdoor kitchens, with Jenn-Air and Standard TV & Appliance providing the equipment and Bend’s Whole Foods kindly supplying the pantry ingredients.

Who’s going to be in the mix? Be on the lookout for Nick Ragazzo, who placed second in the 2014 Top Chef contest while serving as head chef at Dogwood Cocktail Cabin (he’s now running things at the Blackened Dragon food cart near Atlas Cider Co.’s taproom). He’ll be competing against fellow chefs Kevin Linde (formerly of Pronghorn Resort) and Mark Hosack of Currents at the Riverhouse, as well as teams from the Jackelope Grill and The Capital.

All their dishes will be judged by a blue-ribbon panel of local foodies and gastronomic experts, including Cottonwood Café’s Jennifer McCrystal, Foxtail Bakeshop owner Nickol Hayden-Cady and Nicole Timm, founder of the Central Oregon Locavore indoor farmers’ market.

Bite visitors will have a chance to check out the proceedings during the afternoons on both weekend days, but check out the finale at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday to find out who earns the trophy and the right to be called Bend’s Top Chef for the rest of the year.

JUNE 17-18

The weekend entertainment at the Bite of Bend includes local and national musical acts performing on the Music Stage on Minnesota Avenue in downtown Bend. The music at the Bite of Bend has long been one of the biggest free music events of the summer, and this year’s lineup promises to be one of the most exciting yet. Get ready to get down with a mix of bluegrass, country, indie, and American roots bands from around the country.

SASSPARILLA Friday JUNE 17TH 8:30 PM BEND

Get Sweaty with Sassparilla. Anyone who’s seen Sassparilla play across the Pacific Northwest—whether it was at the Doug Fir in Portland, the McMenamins Olympic Club in Centralia, Washington, or even the Volcanic Theater right here in Bend—knows what to the expect when they take the Bite of Bend’s main stage Friday at 8:30 p.m. In a word, it’s everything— “dancing, sing-along numbers, and plenty of good times,” as the band themselves put it.

Built up from Kevin Blackwell (vocals, cigar box guitar, national resonator guitar), the father-and-son combo of Ross MacDonald

(harmonica) and Colin MacDonald (washtub bass), Naima Muntal (vocals, accordion, washboard), and Justin Burkhart (drums), Portland-based Sassparilla has released a little bit of everything in their past. The band debuted in 2007 with Debilitated Constitution, which offered a mix of down-n-dirty country blues and ragtime, then gradually got more punk-y and roots-oriented with later releases.

With their most recent one, the double album Pasajero/ Hullabaloo, Blackwell and crew have combined the somewhat smoother studio sound of the past few years with a set recorded in Blackwell’s attic that does a great job of capturing the band’s playful live personality. "You wear two hats in a band; live shows and recorded product," comments Blackwell. "I like the idea of making a beautiful record, then making a show people can dance to. That, to me, is what Sassparilla is all about. I feel we accomplished that; we made a beautiful record, not just a record that was over-the top performance wise, like we've done in the past."

Head over earlier in the evening, too, to take in two Bend locals—Precious Byrd, a high-energy four-piece band that mixes up classic hits with originals, and the Corner Gospel Explosion, the Wilderness spinoff that won the Source’s Best Band award last year.

BITE OF BEND GUIDE 2016 / 13

CHROME PONY Prepare for R&B-y garage chaos on Saturday night. Tyler and Kyle Davis, the duo who lead Chrome Pony (on the main stage Saturday at 8:30 p.m.), are brothers born on the same date two years apart. Perhaps there’s some kind of telekinetic connection going on between them as a result—one that’s made them dual frontmen for a progressive rock band that’s taken them literally around the world.

Since Tyler and Kyle moved from their native Indiana down to Nashville, Tennessee, the raw power of their progressive, energetic rock have kept them busy. They’ve released four albums, formed a full quartet (Tyler on guitar, Kyle on drums, JOTA ESE on bass, Ric Alessio on keyboards), and earned a spot at the 2015 Bonnaroo music festival last summer. They also spent the first couple months bouncing around the UK and Europe, opening for Cage the Elephant (the “Ain’t No Rest for

the Wicked” guys) and finding the time to release the short but incredibly sweet Past Lives EP somewhere in between.

“You know how it is growing up in bands in the Midwest,” said Kyle, who also subbed for Cage’s drummer at their 2015 arena tour. “Your band members aren’t just people you happen to work with, but are an all-accepting family. This is what I loved most about working with Cage. They are midwest through and through and have that same intense family mindset, which allows them to be genuine to each other, their fans, and music. We naturally got along great and became part of each other’s families.”

Chrome Pony’s the final act of the day, but stick around the main stage all day and you’ll see a bit of everything—singersongwriter Eric Tollefson, upbeat reggae/ska outfit Strive Roots, and Wilderness, a band that’s straddled the line between rock, folk, and experimentation for the past three years.

The cast and directors for the 24/Seven Theater Project, hard at work. Photos courtesy of Redhand Studios.

The Players: Seven playwrights, seven directors, 23 actors and two documentary filmmakers.

9 am: We have four pages. This will be a fun challenge.

tors are on point, but there are so many words and not enough hours.

The Playwright’s Challenge: Based on four prompts, write a 10-minute play in 10 hours (due at 4am) and put the name of your play in a bag.

10:30 am: We have all the pages!

11 am: We’re going to rehearse under a little gazebo in the parking lot.

6 pm: The audience is arriving as we find out we will go first. That makes perfect sense. Wouldn’t mind swearing at someone but don’t have the slightest idea who deserves my ire.

The Director’s Challenge: Draw the play you’re directing out of a bag (at 6am) and your actors out of a different one labeled by age range. Block out the play in two hours.

The Actor’s Challenge: Show up at 8am, memorize lines, rehearse the play and perform it live (TWICE) in eight hours.

As a director, I’m nervous of failure, of not supporting the actors enough, or not doing justice to the script. My confidence level is on par with that of a little kid’s first Thanksgiving at the grown-up table. Here we go.

6 am: As a writer with looming deadlines, I arrive at 2nd Street Theater on three hours of sleep. Life is pain. I will fail.

6:15 am: I picked Clinton Clark’s name. He’s a great playwright and our sensibilities will mesh well. This isn’t so bad. I love coffee.

6:30 am: The play is called “Crullers.”

I haven’t read it yet. Clark’s computer crashed and he’s re-writing it in the office.

7 am: A page!!

8 am: I have three pages and the actors are arriving. How can I cast them if I don’t know how the show is going to end?

8:30 am: I cast it anyway!

Noon: It’s over 90 degrees. My brains are little eggs that keep scrambling.

Mmmmmmmm...eggs.

1 pm: I’ve helped the actors all I can.

Now they just have to memorize the lines so we can get into the character work.

2 pm: They have so many lines. I couldn’t memorize that many lines in eight hours. I can’t remember people’s names right after they tell them to me.

2:30 pm: The actors don’t need me anymore. They have to get those words down. I’m very tired. I’ll walk around and see if everyone else is as dead inside as I am.

3 pm: I see groups laughing. I see an actor with a look so sour on his face, I think there’s a possibility of violence.

I talk to actors who hate their scripts, directors who want to murder their actors, writers who are ecstatic they’re getting to see their work produced a day after writing it.

3:30 pm: We’re hitting a wall. Faces are blurry. The sun is a giant ball of flame designed to make the daytime a furnace of sweaty sighs and swamp ass.

4 pm: There are many more lines to memorize, but we can’t do it anymore.

We break until 5pm.

4:15 pm: I sleep on cement.

5:00 pm: We reconvene and run the show again. The script is good, the ac-

6:30 pm: I introduce “Crullers” to the audience. I yell at them about something. I forget as soon as I do it. My actors take the stage.

6:45 pm: Well, they did the first two pages perfectly and then jumped to the end. They found the humor beautifully in the words, so even when they were searching, the audience laughed.

7 pm: I can barely keep my eyes open and these three actors are running lines again so their 9pm show can go off without a hitch. This dedication is overwhelming. I’m not crying, YOU’RE CRYING. 9:15 pm: There were some hitches, but it was better and still funny.

9:30 pm: Smiling. I smile because those two performances were a metaphor for the day. It might not have been perfect, but it was honest and pure.

The event had its ups and downs, but the concept of creating something of fleeting beauty was amazing. Am I dead?

Definitely. Would I do it again? Try and stop me. SW See the winner of the 24/Seven Theater Project at: "Short Stuff" June 17-July 2. 3pm & 7:30pm 2nd Street Theater, 220 NE Lafayette Ave., Bend $16-$19

On June 28, the High Desert Museum will host the Waterston Desert Writing Prize Ceremony, where the works of one winner and two finalists will be honored. The award recognizes excellence in writing as well as the role deserts play in the ecosystem and the human narrative.

The Waterston Desert Writing Prize is inspired by Bend author and poet Ellen Waterston, who when asked about its focus on non-fiction desert writing says, “It’s because of my great affection for (the Central Oregon desert)—all deserts really— and that the conversation about deserts gets more interesting with the changes in the global climate.” Her point is illustrated clearly by the winning submission.

Brooklyn-based writer Tara Fitzgerald will be awarded the first place prize of $1,500 and a four-week residency at PLAYA, a creative retreat located in Summer Lake, Ore.

Bite Week includes cooking classes at Central Oregon Locavore and at the Standard TV & Appliance Demonstration Kitchen in Bend. Photos courtesy of Lay It Out Events.

ynonymous with fine dining and craft spirits, it’s no surprise that Bend is home to Central Oregon’s largest food festival, the Bite of Bend, which runs June 17-19. This well-attended community event attracts foodies for three days of feasting and playing, featuring 40 food vendors, a bartender brawl, a beer run for the grown-ups, and a root beer run for the kids.

Lucky for locals, the culinary fun continues after the Bite of Bend festival draws to a close. Bite Week begins on June 20, giving food enthusiasts and cooks of all calibers the opportunity to experience and learn alongside some of the region’s most renowned chefs and purveyors.

Bite Week features four days of cooking classes, chef demos, and pairing dinners, giving attendees ample opportunities to indulge their taste buds and enhance their cooking skills. Karin Roy, the creative and vendor director for Lay It Out Events, sees Bite Week as a unique platform for local chefs and individuals developing food products: “It gives them the opportunity to share new and illuminating information about the local food culture and scene in a fresh, handson way.”

Bite Week dinner highlights include: Worthy Brewing’s Island Pig Roast: Perfectly representing the area’s beer culture, Worthy Brewing partners with Proletariat Butchery for a traditional island pig roast. Prepared by Executive Chef Jon Sliger, the dinner features four

courses with Worthy beer pairings. // 495 Bellevue Dr., Bend, www.worthybrewing.com.

Barrio’s A Taste of Tucson: Steven Draheim, chef and owner of People’s Choice favorite Barrio, has created a four-course meal and custom cocktail pairings, all inspired by the southwestern desert. // 915 Wall St., Bend, www. barriobend.com.

The Root Cellar’s Road Trip to a Midsummer Feast: Starting at Dudley’s Bookshop and ending at Ranch at the Canyons, guests enjoy a scenic drive, world-class wines curated by the Good Drop Wine Shoppe, and handmade dishes designed to take patrons on a journey to the Mediterranean. // 515 Dekalb Ave., Bend, www.therootcellarbend.com.

Classes Bite Week’s notable class lineup includes cheese and cocktail making, a fermentation class, handmade Ramen noodle and dumpling lessons, and a wine-tasting workshop. “These are the only four days out of the year that opportunities like these are accessible,” says Roy. “The experience is ephemeral. If you have an interest or passion for the food and cocktail culture, give yourself over to it.” SW Bite Week June 20-23 Sign up at www.biteofbend.com Chef’s Dinners $55 to $99 Classes $10 to $20 Demos $5 to $15

R

ockin' Dave’s Bistro and Backstage Lounge is the newest addition to Bend’s eatery options. Attached to the backside of the bagel shop, this intimate setting is equipped with a full bar, monthly specials and addictive foods.

Rockin’ Dave Flier is a bit of a celebrity about town, running his Greenwood Avenue bagel shop in a shirt as loud as his personality. The local chef, entrepreneur and innovator has outdone himself in his latest food venture, focusing on fresh, natural, and locally-sourced ingredients.

“I love this community and I feel the new lounge will allow me to support local even more than before,” says Flier, who buys free-range, no hormone, no antibiotic chicken, beef and pork.

“People should know where their food is coming from, and now they can actually see on the menu who I’m buying from.”

When the time comes to taste the wares, I am prepared. Knowing the menu will be stockpiled with some serious meat, I drag along two guy-friends in an attempt to conquer more of the menu. This turns out to be an excellent plan.

To start, we order three appetizers: Mom’s Saucy Balls, Pigs in a Blanket and a full pound of Bacon Wings. Dear

Diary, thank you.

Flier tells us Mom’s Saucy Balls are made from his mother’s meatloaf recipe, and as he talks about the best part of meatloaf being the caramelized saucy edges, my dining companions and I stab at each other with feverishly flying forks as we jostle for the last of the remaining balls.

I’m not exaggerating when I say they melt in your mouth. The sauce is tangy and sweet, counteracting the meat’s savory flavor. I will definitely be ordering these again. And again. And Again.

Next up: Pigs In A Blanket. These turn out to be an aren’t-you-glad-you’re-anadult version of the childhood comfort classic. Rockin Dave’s version is a bagel dough-wrapped hotdog that has been hugged with cheese, peppered with onion and pickle, and toasted until the edges of the dough resemble the tanned muscular hide of a Greek God. A little bit of Sassy Sauce adds just the right amount of acidic heat to these slicedup, ready-to-eat morsels from Mount Olympus.

Is there room for a pound of Bacon Wings? You bet there is. My companions and I don’t mess around, and neither does Rockin’ Dave. He offers us a

choice of four sauces: Mexican Jalapeno, Jamaican Habanero, BBQ, and Asian BBQ. We choose Asian and let the meat sweats begin. As you might have guessed, Rockin Dave’s Bacon Wings are cooked in bacon fat. We all know that no tastier fat has ever been collected and shared than that of bacon, and these wings serve as further proof.

Stuffed already, we order two entrees and get them boxed to go. We have high hopes of a second round of bloodshed later in the evening. But the saucy line has been drawn and we dare not cross it. As my deadline approaches, it is clear my protruding belly and glistening lips can take no more, so I am sadly unable to comment on the entrees. I guess I’ll have to go back.

If you’re planning a trip to Rockin’ Dave’s Backstage Lounge, our advice is to go hungry. SW

Come June 16, Bendites will have yet another grocery shopping option on the west side of town. Located at NW Colorado Avenue off the Parkway, near the Box Factory, Market of Choice will provide fresh, organic, and natural foods and produce, as well as about 130 new jobs. The Bend location will be the company’s tenth store, since the business started in 1979 in a Thrifty Store in Cottage Grove, Ore. Since then the business has expanded within Oregon to Eugene, Portland, West Linn, Corvallis, Ashland, and now, Bend.

“We’re eager to open our doors and welcome customers,” said Market of Choice President Rick Wright. “Bend is a great community and we’re looking forward to becoming part of it.”

Atlas Cider Co. Releases the Dragonfruit Bend-based Atlas Cider Co. recently released a Dragonfruit-fueled cider to welcome the summer season with some good, old-fashioned deliciousness. Atlas co-owner Dan McCoy is encouraged by the response from consumers, saying, “It’s really rad to see so many people looking for it. So far we’ve made more of this flavor since we started than our whole winter seasonal.”

You’ll find Atlas’ Dragonfruit Summer Seasonal in 22oz bottles and kegs around town.

T

umalo Cider Co. is bucking the sweet cider trend.

Bend, it’s fair to say, is going almost as crazy for cider as it is for beer.

Although the city doesn’t yet boast a cider-only bar, it does house five local cideries, including Atlas Cider Co., the three-year-old Old Mill standby that the OLCC has officially declared to be Oregon’s biggest-selling craft cidery.

Atlas owner Jeff Bennett says, “I think it’s a good market to be in because there’s a lot of excitement in cider and a lot of people engaged with it in a way they weren’t before.”

And it’s not just wishful thinking on his part. He’s helping longtime beer and cider brewer Kelly Roark to launch Tumalo Cider Co., whose first semisweet offering should be on tap at Pizza Mondo and Brother Jon’s by the time this story reaches print. (They’ll also be pouring at the Fermentation Celebration craft fest on June 23.)

The drive that Roark and Bennett have for their cidery is clear when you visit the premises, a green, rectangular building off US-20 in the middle of Tumalo built from scratch by Roark and friends.

“We looked around Bend for space,” Roark explains, “but I wanted something different from a typical industrial area. The walls here are made of what’s called pumice-crete; it comes from the local lava rock and it’s really good at insulating, which is important with a cidery, where temperature regulation is key.” The cidery is open by appointment only for now, but Roark is also planning a large outdoor area in the backyard to host larger groups and events.

It’s a fine place, but it’s the cider that’s the important thing, and on that score, Tumalo doesn’t disappoint. Their semisweet cider is refreshing and flavorful without being cloying, and the dry version offers an intriguing counterpoint to the sweet ciders that dominate much of the American scene.

“Giving samples to barkeepers and owners around town,” Roark says, “it’s been great to see how they take a sip and go, ‘Wow, this really tastes different.’

There’s a lot of great cider made here, but I think there’s also a demand for drier cider, something where you can have a couple and not feel like you’re consuming a lot of sugar.” SW

What Just Happened?

A noob watches "Warcraft"

By Jared Rasic

Paint Night $25

No Coupon Necessary.

No Experience Necessary.

I have to assume “Warcraft” is a 123-minute cut of a 180-minute film because nothing in the story makes a lick of sense. Although he is an almost unstoppable mage, the young wizard has quit his training for undisclosed reasons.

The older wizard has had a bad run in with Green Energy before, but we never learn when, where, or why. Characters change motivations off-camera. Half Orc Warrior Woman and Hero Human Man fall in love after being in two scenes together. GLENN CLOSE shows up for one scene for no discernable reason whatsoever. I could go on, but my article has a word limit.

The orc Durotan will steal your heart and also probably your life.

I

have a confession to make. I have never played Warcraft. Not even 30 seconds of it.

In fact, from my perspective, Real Time Strategy (RTS) games seem designed for gamers who enjoy Risk much more than I do. Furthermore, massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) work best for people who actually enjoy playing with other people. I’ve always been a solitary gamer. Warcraft and World of Warcraft in particular always seemed to require doing horrific things like “making friends” and “practicing teamwork.”

All of this is to say I have absolutely no frame of reference for “Warcraft,” the movie, other than being a giant nerd who likes orcs, trolls, flying eagles, and characters named Orgrim Doomhammer.

The trailers were somewhat terrible and my expectations were low all-around, so imagine my surprise when I walked out of the movie confused, not sure of what I just saw, and mightily entertained.

Without consulting Wikipedia, the plot is something like this: Giant orcs are in a pickle because their world is dying, so

an evil orc wizard uses a nefarious type of green energy (not the good kind) to open a portal to Azeroth. Azeroth is a typical Middle-Earthy fantasy realm with humans, wizards, dwarves and elves, but they all seem to get along and have council meetings and stuff. Only a few orcs made it through the portal, so Evil Orc Wizard convinces the orc horde to kidnap a bunch of Azerothians to use as Green Energy (the bad kind) in order to reopen the portal and let the rest of the orcs through.

Travis Fimmel is Lothar, a military commander in a Gondor-esque looking magical kingdom called Stormwind. He teams up with a renegade orc, a young wizard, an older wizard, a half-orc (conveniently named Garona Halforcen) and a giant badass eagle to fight the Evil Wizard Orc and his dastardly horde.

The orcs are all computer-generated and an absolute marvel of performance capture and technical wizardry. Each orc feels like a lived-in character with hopes, dreams and an alarming thirst for blood.

They are such a marvelous creation that whenever there are only humans in a

All art supplies included in the 3 hour journey.

As terrible as it all sounds, “Warcraft” also features orcs throwing horses at people and a giant eagle going on an orc-killing rampage. There are mages whipping spells at each other and monstrous headless golems stumbling through massive libraries. The special effects that seem cheesy and reductive on TV actually look beautiful on the big screen. This is not another “Gods of Egypt.” Director Duncan Jones (the visionary behind the little-seen masterwork “Moon”) goes big on “Warcraft,” and it almost pays off.

Perhaps if I had played the games, it would all make sense. Even still, the film ends mid-story, making it feel like another franchise starter rather than an actual, self-contained movie. “Warcraft” exists as a really fun bundle of massive flaws and storytelling mistakes, but then a horse gets thrown at some humans, and I think, “Maybe making friends isn’t such a bad idea after all.” SW "Warcraft" Dir.

The Wizard of Oz

One Man, Two Guvnors

The Fast and the Furious

The Tower Theatre is screening this all-time classic in conjunction with the High Desert Museum’s new exhibition, “Art for a Nation: Inspiration from the Great Depression.” Released during the Depression, “The Wizard of Oz” was an escapist masterpiece at a time where the country sorely needed it.

One of the funniest British shows in decades, “One Man, Two Guvnors” tells the tale of Francis, a naive man employed by two gangsters he desperately hopes to never meet. James Corden originated the role with the National Theatre, and this screening is a telecast of his performance in the role.

Live life a quarter mile at a time and go see the original F&F movie on the big screen. The story of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel meeting as enemies, falling in love and going on adventures is the best rip-off of “Point Break” since ever.

Truthfully, this movie still stands up quite well and deserves all the love it can get.

The power of Christ compels Lorraine Warren in "The Conjuring 2."

F

ollowing the release of the first “Conjuring” film, critical conversation strayed from the contents of the actual film to focus more on the “Based on True Events” marketing push. Lead characters Ed and Lorraine Warren were real-life paranormal investigators who wrote several books about their adventures in demonology.

The Warrens’ most famous case was their involvement with The Amityville Horror house in 1976. They were sent to see if the Lutz Family genuinely were the victims of a violent, demonic presence, and the Warrens agreed completely that the house was evil.

When the lawyer William Weber came forward in 1979 and said he fabricated the story with a few other people, it hurt the Warrens’ credibility and made them somewhat of a cautionary tale.

The Warren name is used in modern conversations as a reason NOT to believe in ghosts and demons.

Yet “The Conjuring” aimed for the impossible. It made the Warrens the heroic leads in a creepy little movie that became the highest grossing horror flick of the year. “The Conjuring 2” had an even tougher road to travel, not just because the original was so critically acclaimed, but also because the Warrens’ name had been dragged through the mud all over again.

For the most part, “The Conjuring 2” succeeds admirably. The story of The Enfield Haunting is a good one. Single mother Peggy Hodgson is raising her four children in London when her youngest daughter starts making contact with the ghost of an angry and vengeful old man. Once things begin

escalating, the Catholic Church sends the Warrens to seek verifiable proof.

The script smartly spends some time on the skeptic’s side of things, showing the Warrens as almost embattled against all of the unbelievers. Over the years several “experts” have also debunked or tried to debunk The Enfield Haunting and the film goes out of its way to show how both the skeptics and believers can equally be correct.

The popular (or unpopular) opinion of Ed and Lorraine aside, the arguments about their authenticity don’t amount to much if the movie isn’t very scary. Audiences will forgive a less than accurate “Based on True Events” if the film transports them, and “The Conjuring 2” tries very hard to do so. Most of the typical loud noise jump scares are either well crafted mis-directions or genuinely effective fright moments.

The film is a solid 15 minutes too long: the pacing lags in the second act, and the ending feels a bit rushed and unearned. But so much horror today is garbage that this feels like a beautifully haunted oasis. Gore hounds will be disappointed since the film is a mostly bloodless classic haunted house story. However, for those with a taste for a slow-burning sense of dread and flawlessly photographed disturbing imagery, “The Conjuring 2” is a blast, whether it’s true or not. SW

directorial debut! He plays the legendary Miles Davis in a film that covers his good times and his bad ones. The trailers make the film look darkly humorous and powerful with an intense and focused performance from Cheadle.

been many video game movies in the past, but never one pulled from something with so little of a story. This follows three angry birds as they investigate the arrival of pigs to their little island. Advanced reviews are pretty dire, but the voice cast has ringers including Jason Sudeikis, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Danny McBride and Peter Dinklage, so there might be enough here to be entertaining. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR: The highly anticipated throw-down has finally arrived with Team Iron Man vs. Team Cap fighting over a huge disagreement involving The Avengers and the destruction they have wrought. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LOBSTER: The film takes place in a society where people are legally bound to be part of a couple. If a relationship ends, then the lone person is sent to a hotel where all the other singles are gathered. They have 45 days to find a new mate or else they are turned into an animal of their choice, which they must remain as for the rest of their life. It’s a weird, wonderful, dry comedy/sci-fi mashup for fans of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and other bizarre romantic films. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne return as the owners of the worst located house in history. Instead of dealing with a loud and obnoxious fraternity house, they now must deal with a loud and obnoxious sorority. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE NICE GUYS: The pedigree here is phenomenal!

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ME BEFORE YOU: Apparently they’re offering tissues at the box office for this one, but that might be an urban legend. A young woman starts taking care of a paralyzed, handsome young man whose recent accident has left him depressed and angry. Their relationship blossoms and probably ends terribly because don’t they all? An excellent cast should hopefully elevate this to something above its maudlin premise. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

You See Me” piled on twist after twist until the story didn’t make sense anymore. Now we see The Four Horsemen take their magic tricks globally to expose unlawful practices of a tech magnate.

TALE OF TALES: A dark and twisted look into the fairy tales that inspired The Brother’s Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson and Charles Perrault. With stylish and scary looks into stories like Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, this is a fantasy horror film for a decidedly adult crowd. Tin Pan Theater.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS: It must be summer because here we have two weeks in a row bringing us unwanted sequels to movies that weren’t very good. This time we have Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo teaming up with April O’Neil and Casey Jones to fight...Tyler Perry? The reviews say this one is leaps and bounds better than the last. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

THE CONJURING 2: Surprisingly scary and expertly crafted, “The Conjuring 2” almost equals the original in excellence. This one follows Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren to Enfield, England where they square off against an angry poltergeist that may be more than it seems. Fans of the first one should love this just as much. See full review, p 34. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE MEDDLER: Susan Sarandon plays a lonely, aging widow who follows her daughter to Los Angeles in the hopes of reigniting her life. She first meddles in her daughter’s life, only to find that there are many other people who need her help as well. This is a heartfelt dramedy that actually plays much better than it sounds. Now playing at Tin Pan Theater WARCRAFT: Somehow better AND worse than it looks, “Warcraft” is a confusing mess of a film that is also tons of fun. The action and fantasy elements are fantastic, but as soon as real people start talking to each other about things, everything falls apart. This might be solely aimed at fans of the game series, leaving the rest of us behind. See full review p 33. Now playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX X-MEN: APOCALYPSE: Although it does feel like we just had an X-Men movie, "Apocalypse" boasts several fan favorite characters returning to the franchise and a possible end to the arc of the last two films. With Jennifer Lawrence possibly leaving the franchise after this one, expect an epic and exciting adventure with everyone's favorite blue mutant. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SW

Skydiving in Central Oregon The closest thing to flying

By Russ Axon 37 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 24 / June 16, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

"I can see my house from here!" shouts writer Russ Axon (left), during a tandem jump with Skydive Awesome! co-owner Ryan Scothern. Photo courtesy of Skydive Awesome!

I

t’s easy to explore Central Oregon by hiking and biking its single-track trails, paddling its pristine rivers, and climbing its rugged mountains. But there is one outdoor area that is often overlooked: its big, blue skies. For the intrepid Bendite, the terrain above is now accessible. Two skydiving businesses—Skydive Awesome! and Velocity Sports Equipment—are putting Central Oregon on the map as a skydiving destination, making it easier than ever to experience this intense sport.

Making the jump Situated in the Western-theme town of Sisters, alongside a handful of small planes at the small Sisters Eagle Airport, Skydive Awesome! is doing big things for Central Oregon skydivers.

The drop zone is the passion project of co-owners Cara and Stephen Rosier and Laura and Ryan Scothern. The quartet counts more than 15,000 jumps between them; they compete across the country, performing tandem and group jumps.

When another local drop zone closed down, they set up shop in Sisters in March, offering tandem jumps and classes for novices and fun jumps for pros.

Skydive Awesome! quickly inducted several students into their unique AST (Advanced Skydiver Training) program, which offers more comprehensive and

focused training than usual, according to Ryan Scothern.

“The standard is you become a skydiver in about eight skydives, and then you have to learn through experience. We felt that was inadequate,” says Ryan Scothern.

The team developed their own training program, building on USPA (United States Parachute Association) guidelines for the basic minimum training and expanding it across everything they had learned from their many years in the sport.

Their aim is to make Skydive Awesome! the safest and smartest jumpers at any drop zone in the world.

“For us, all of our students are like our skydiving kids,” says Cara Rosier. “We want to see them grow and learn and become accomplished in the sport.

One of those students, 25-year-old Scott Strauss, started skydiving almost a year ago. He says, “It’s an amazing drop zone that provides such a friendly environment whether it’s your first skydive or if you’re experienced. You immediately feel like you are part of their family.”

Falling with style While Skydive Awesome! provides the experience, Velocity Sports Equipment provides the equipment.

Currently located in Sunriver, the team at Velocity handmakes skydiving rigs, the strap-heavy backpacks that hold the parachute. In recent years, owner Kelly Farrington and his team of 12 employees have established the company as an innovator in skydiving equipment.

“I was always enthralled with the mechanics behind the parachute systems, probably more than the act of skydiving itself,” he explains. “I had a lot of fun jumping, but this is where I found my niche.”

The company is heralded among the skydiving community for its popular Infinity rig, but is best known for creating the parachute rig used by skydiver Felix Baumgartner during his 120,000-foot jump from space in 2012. Farrington said pushing the limits is important to the sport.

“It’s not a forgiving activity,” he said. “But there’s a lot of freedom and creativity to it. There’s plenty in the sport to challenge yourself with.”

To that end, Velocity is currently helping Farrington’s cousin, a famous skydiver who is training for a parachute-free jump next month.

“Free and calm” While skydiving presents challenges both mental and monetary (tandem jumps

start at $200; rigs at $2,000), Skydive Awesome! and Velocity make it easier than ever to get into this evolving sport.

Skydive Awesome! offers discounts for returning jumpers and groups, along with invaluable one-on-one time. Velocity manufactures some of the best equipment in the world. And the scenery is one-of-a-kind.

“Having the Cascade Mountain range so close to the drop zone gives the jumper stunning visuals on the flight up and the flight down,” Strauss said. “On a clear day you can Mt. Shasta (in California) and Mt. Rainier (in Washington).”

While the experience is different for everyone, jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet, flying 120 mph through a cloud, then floating down to Earth is sure to inspire passion in anyone.

“There’s so much going on so quick, it actually opens my mind and lets me be free and calm,” Ryan Scothern says. “With all the stresses of most days, it’s a nice thing to be able to go up, expand your mind and relax.” SW

NATURAL WORLD

The Perfect Day

Breakdowns, books and baby eagles in the Oregon Outback

By Jim Anderson

W

hen my wife, Sue, and I start out each morning to conduct our golden eagle survey for the Oregon Eagle Foundation, we never know what the day will hold, except that it will be a wonderful adventure, and at some point we’ll end up lost in Oregon’s Great Sandy Desert, and we’ll be very happy we did it.

Fortunately, it was Monday, which is the one day a week that the Silver Lake Library is open. And it was in the library parking lot that I found a full-strength signal and was able to reach Will’s wife in Redmond, who was then able to contact AAA, who informed her forces were in motion to bring her husband and his rig back to civilization. Simultaneously, I received a text from Tony saying he was contacting Will. You can’t beat that with a stick.

That’s why May 16, 2016, was almost the Perfect Day. It was a warm spring day in Central Oregon, not too windy and lots of blue sky. By 10am the natural lighting revealed the magnificent scenic quality of our old volcanic hills and beautiful forests, showing off the rimrock and sagebrush sea at its best.

Sue and I were headed to the Fremont National Forest, adjacent BLM lands, and desert and grazing lands throughout North Lake County to check golden eagle nests for babies.

Traffic on the highway between Sisters and Lake County was light, and as usual, too fast. But State Highway 31, beginning in LaPine and continuing into Oregon’s Outback, was relatively quiet, excepting the hay-laden 18-wheelers rumbling by on their way to The Valley.

Between the Fort Rock turn off and Silver Lake, I spotted a four-wheel drive truck on the shoulder, hood raised.

had no idea why; it had plenty of gas in it, but it just wouldn’t go. In the “Good Old Days” it was easy for a shade-tree mechanic to determine if the electrical system was supplying energy to the spark plugs, but with today’s cars, forget it.

To make matters worse, the spot where he broke down was in a dead zone for cell phones, which surprised me, as my Verizon traveling phone can usually get a signal almost anywhere in that part of Oregon’s Outback.

“Hood up” means the occupants are having trouble, so I pulled over, turned on the emergency flashers, and asked, “Can we be of any help?”

Will was a courier from Redmond with a lot of cargo to deliver. He gave me the cell phone number of “Tony,” whom he thought might come help him finish his route.

The fellow driving the rig was named Will. His rig had stopped running and he

Will also gave me his wife’s cell phone number and asked me to contact her so

she wouldn’t worry when he didn’t check in as planned. Then he gave me his AAA numbers to call for help, and I was set to go. But just for the heck of it, while we were talking, I sent a text message off to Tony about Will’s dilemma, and then Sue and I headed for Silver Lake.

About a mile down the road my cell phone dinged with a one-word message from Tony: “Copy.” I thought that would give Will some peace-of-mind, so we returned to make him aware Tony was aware of the problem.

By this time, Sue needed to find a rest room and wondered aloud if the Silver Lake Library was open. In my 88 years, libraries have come to mean just about everything to me: “Whether you need help, a good book, or just gotta pee, head for the library.”

Then things got even better! On top of a pile of books near the librarian desk was one written by my dear old pal, Bernard Cornwell, one of the greatest historical fiction writers of our times. He wrote the Sharp’s Rifles series and no fewer than 28 other novels and TV productions about ancient England.

“Will my Deschutes library card work in Lake County?” I asked the librarian.

“Sure,” she said, and I handed her Cornwell’s “The Empty Throne,” along with my library card. Because the libraries have a reciprocal agreement, I can return the book to the Sisters Library and it will find its way back to the Silver Lake Library.

Between helping Will, checking out Cornwell’s book about the adventures of Utred of Bebbanburg, finding the first three golden eagle nesting sites occupied with healthy growing babies, and not getting lost in the process, it truly was a Perfect Day. SW

TAKE ME HOME

By Nick Nayne Principal Broker

Senate Bill 1533 and Inclusionary Zoning

“Affordable housing” means housing that is affordable to households with incomes equal to or higher than 80 percent of the median family income for the county in which the housing is built.”

This is actually a very good point because currently, 80 percent of the median income for Deschutes County is $33,450 for a single-person household and $38,200 for a two-person household. This bill does little to help a single person working full time for minimum wage and earning $21,000 per year. Most low income programs, such as HUD,

typically use 60 percent of median family income as opposed to the 80 percent cited in SB 1533.

Further research on this bill shows it only applies to projects of 20 or more units, requiring that these new housing developments offer a portion of their new units at “affordable” levels for either purchase or rent. The bill’s goal was to encourage affordable housing and to create more equitable neighborhoods, but it appears to not have accomplished much by excluding those who most need assistance. Furthermore, the 20-unit requirement effectively excludes most building projects, particularly those in rural areas such as Central Oregon, which are in desperate need of affordable housing.

1565 NW Wall Street, Bend HOA dues cover water, sewer, power, gas, internet, swimming pool and spa. These units are available as vacation rentals or owner occupied. Income expense reports and projections available to potential investors.

Units #102 & #103 / Listing #201604921 Rare ground level 1 bed/ 2 bath condo next to Pioneer Park and steps from downtown. This is unit 102 and 103 and has a separate bedroom and bathroom. Main area has a Murphy Bed, living area, gas fireplace, kitchen and another bath.

$200,000 Units #178 & #179 / Listing #201604936 1 bed/ 2 bath 3rd level condo next to Pioneer Park and steps from downtown. Great as an investment for a vacation rental. This is unit 178 & 179 and has a separate bedroom & bathroom.

WELLNESS

ADVICE GODDESS

Someday, Her Prince Will Run

—Terrified My dad loves quoting that FDR line, “The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.”

Sorry, Pops, but that’s ridiculous. There are things to fear in life. A couple of examples that spring to mind: 1. A hug from the lady at work who just got back from vacationing in Ebola territory. 2. Being in immediate need of lifesaving surgery and waking up to your drunken neighbor operating on you with salad utensils and a steak knife.

However, it turns out that there’s a next part to that “fear itself ” line—explaining that the problematic kind of fear is “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” Perhaps that sounds familiar? And granted, when love packs its bags, leaving you with just a few empty hangers swinging in your closet where your man’s shirts used to be, it’s normal to come undone for a while—perhaps spending some time lying on the bathroom floor in an evening dress and breakfasting on Froot Loops a la vodka.

However, what’s also normal is recovering from heartbreak. Grief researcher George Bonanno explains that while therapists and self-help books portray grief after a loss as a paralyzing sadness that people are unable to survive without professional help, this isn’t how he finds it affects most of us. In fact, he says we are wired to be resilient—to pull ourselves out of our misery hole and get on with things.

What helps in this, Bonanno explains, is “hardiness.” Research by clinical psychologist Salvatore Maddi finds that hardiness involves three interrelated attitudes: a desire to engage with people and life (rather than detach and isolate yourself), a belief in taking action to make things better (rather than sinking into “passivity and powerlessness”), and a willingness to face stressful stuff and use it as a learning experience—transforming personal disasters into personal growth.

Wow Or Never There are two women who arouse mega-chemistry in me when we hug, talk, etc. Unfortunately, neither is available.

Though I’m basically attracted to the woman I’m dating (meaning she’s the right height, weight, hair color, etc.), I don’t feel those highs with her. So, my question is, can I make a go of this relationship even though I lack the tingly zest I have with the taken ladies?

—Missing The Whole Enchilada Can you “make a go” of this relationship?

Of course you can! Before you know it, you’ll be booking one of those romantic weekend getaway packages to try to rekindle that magical indifference you felt at the start.

Unfortunately, you can’t work up to lusting after a woman, like by making your libido do pushups over her picture.

We seem to have evolved to be subconsciously drawn to the smell of certain people—those who have immune system genes different from ours, with whom we’d make a baby with a broader set of defenses against icky parasites and disease. Men, in particular, evolved to be hot for features that reflect high fertility, like a small waist, big eyes, and big pillowy lips. The right smell and physical features flick the “on” switch in what affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp calls your “seeking system,” sending you signals (in the form of “tingly zest”)—much like a sign spinner holding up a big arrow, “Your penis here!”

No, obviously, you can’t have it all, but you have to have enough of it all—enough of the hots for a woman, along with the hots for who she is as a human being. This isn’t to say there won’t be issues in bed, but you’re more likely to solve them if the licensed professional best suited to help you is not the corner taxidermist.

Even if the behaviors that make up hardiness don’t come naturally to you, they’re there for the taking. So, yes, heartbreak will be painful, but hardiness is a shovel you can use to dig yourself out. What you don’t get to do is make the bratty demand, “I want love without hurt or disappointment!” You can fill up your life so it won’t

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 24 / June 16, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’m a single woman in my 40s. It’s been ages since I’ve seriously dated anyone.

People tell me that I seem “closed off.” I don’t want to be, but I worry that I’ll get into another relationship that ends badly.

I don’t want to die alone, but I just don’t think I can survive another heartbreak.

be so empty if somebody leaves you and get comfy with the hard truth: Having love is no guarantee that you won’t “die alone” —choking on a chicken bone just as your beloved’s gone out the door all, “Wow, double coupon day at the Quik Sak! Be right back, loverbunny!”

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Courttia Newland quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you go about finding the thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?”

In response to this riddle, Newland riffs on what it means to him: “Even more important than the journey itself, is the venture into the unknowable. The ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite knowing where you are going.” I nominate these to be your words to live by in the coming days, Cancerian.

Have open-hearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and impossible secrets! I’m confident you will track them down—especially if you’re willing to be lost.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your homework is to write a story about the life you’re going to live between now and next April. The length of this predictive tale should be at least three pages, although it’s fine if you produce more. Here are some meditations to lubricate the flow of your imagination. 1. What three questions would you love to have answered during the next 42 weeks? 2. Of the numerous adventures that might be fun to explore, which are the two that would be most consistently energizing? 3. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about your attitude or revamp about your life? 4. What new privilege will you have earned by April 2017?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to an old Chinese proverb, if you want to get rich, you must have a nickname. My meditations on your future suggest that this curious formula may have some validity. The next 15 months will be a favorable time to attend to the groundwork that will ultimately increase your wealth. And your luck in doing this work is likely to be oddly good if you add a frisky tweak to your identity -- such as a zesty new nickname, for example. I suggest you stay away from clichés like Ace or Vixen or Sharpie, as well as off-putting ironic monikers like Poker Face and Stonewall. Instead, gravitate toward lively choices like Dazzler, FluxLuster, Hoochie-Coochie, or FreeBorn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the next 15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years. Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before. I’m not talking about the grubby self-promotion that typically passes for ambition, however. Arrogant self-importance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch. I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish. Get started!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the next 15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor. If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts.

The same is true if you have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life. Be ever-alert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck, and slop.

Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings? I hope so. If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough.

Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in questionable behavior. That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

Be kind to your body this summer.

Hydrate with High Desert Hydrotherapy!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be the boss of yourself? What practices can you engage in on a daily basis that will build your potency and authority and clout?

How can you gain access to more of the helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourself every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to find or create your ultimate power spot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): The prison population in the U.S. is over two million, more than twice what it was in 1990. In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people in jail, Italy 52,000, and France 66,000. That’s the bad news. The good news, at least for you and your tribe, is that a relatively small percentage of you will be incarcerated during the next 15 months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aquarians all over the world will specialize in liberation. Not only will you be extra ethical; not only will you be skillful at evading traps; you will also be adept at emancipating yourself from your own delusions and limitations. Congratulations in advance! It’s time to start singing some new freedom songs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English word “catharsis” is derived from the ancient Greek katharsis, which was a technical medical term that meant “purgation” or “purification,” as in flushing out the bowels. Aristotle converted katharsis into a metaphor that described how a drama performed in the theater could “clean out” the emotions of spectators. These days, catharsis may refer to any event that precipitates a psycho-spiritual renewal by building up and then releasing tension. I foresee at least one of these strenuous blessings in your immediate future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming months will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean you should push people around and get into lots of fights. Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty.

You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready, and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree “Because I said so.” Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything you do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow. It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck, and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion…to relax the tweaks…to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary. You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose. If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.

Will mixed messages about marijuana turn kids into stoners?

T

he public debate about cannabis legalization has been dominated by one core argument in favor of keeping pot illegal. Legalization “sends the wrong message” to children, leading them to see pot as relatively harmless, and will cause more young people using cannabis. When California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana in 1996, federal government officials issued dire warnings to Golden State voters.

Daily Specials for recreational and medical customers 923 SE 3RD STREET, BEND

541.678.5199

Thomas Constantine, the then-Director of the Drug Enforcement Administration, expressed the fear succinctly when he said, “How can we expect our children to reject drugs when some authorities are telling them that illegal drugs should no longer remain illegal, but should be used instead to help the sick? We cannot afford to send ambivalent messages about drugs.”

In the 20 years since that vote, many states have followed California’s lead.

Now, medical marijuana is legal in half of the states, and so-called recreational use for adults is legal in four states, with another 11 states on the cusp of recreational legalization. But the warnings from federal officials have not changed. In 2010, Gil Kerilowske, President Obama’s drug czar, complained that, “We have been telling young people, particularly for the past couple years, that marijuana is medicine. So it shouldn’t be a great

surprise to us that young people are now misperceiving the dangers or the risks around marijuana.”

In the same 20-year period, high school students have come to see cannabis as much less harmful. For example, in 1996, 60 percent of US twelfth-graders said regular cannabis use carried “great risk,” but only 32 percent agreed with that statement in 2015. High school students were also much less likely to disapprove of occasional or regular cannabis use in 2015 than they were in 1996. These data are from the Monitoring the Future Survey, which surveys 8th-, 10th- and 12th-graders each year.

Although that data supports the contention that relaxed cannabis laws caused young people to see cannabis as less harmful, a correlation cannot be used to prove causation. What is clear, however, is that cannabis use among children is not increasing. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, teen cannabis use fell by 16 percent between 2002 and 2013, at the height of the legalization wave. At the same time, the prevalence of “marijuana use disorders” plunged by 24 percent.

That finding, if accurate, does disprove the theory expounded by federal officials that legalizing cannabis would cause increased use among children. And that’s true regardless of whether their changed attitudes about cannabis are justified.
