OPINION

Voters of House District 54 deserve better from the Democratic Party

L

ast week, local and statewide headlines erupted with the news that FuturePAC, a political action committee, had dropped support of House 54 candidate, Dr. Nathan Boddie. FuturePAC touts itself as the fundraising arm of the Oregon House Democrats. The organization wrote a letter to Boddie June 23, alleging they were dropping support for him after receiving a complaint that Boddie had “used a homophobic slur in the presence of staff and a member of the community, and promoted the illegal consumption of alcohol.”

The letter from FuturePAC reiterates the language of ORS 659A.030(1)(b): “Disparaging comments made on basis of an individual’s sex or sexual orientation are unlawful when they unreasonably interfere with an employee’s work performance or create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment,” as well as OAR 839-005-0010(4), which states, “The penalties for violation of those laws include compensatory and punitive damages.”

The allegations against Boddie are concerning—but the process behind the allegations gives us greater pause. Without clear information from the Democratic Party of Oregon or FuturePAC, the voters in House District 54 have no real basis to make crucial decisions about who will represent them in Salem. Boddie himself agrees that when someone makes an allegation of discrimination or harassment against another, the person making the claim should be believed. In this case, we don’t know who that person is. House Speaker Tina Kotek and House Majority Leader Jennifer Williamson, both quoted in FuturePAC’s press release, declined our interview requests to ask more questions about the investigation FuturePAC conducted.

It appears that the Democratic leadership is steering clear.

It would be good for the public, who will decide in November whether or not to support this candidate’s bid in the Oregon House, to see the language of OAR 839-005-0010(4) played out, because with the pursuit of compensation or punitive damages, someone official may actually know who it is who might seek damages. The public would also be able to suss out more of the facts.

That we know next to nothing about the alleged victim in this case is just one subject of concern, and yet knowing who that person is would not be an absolute requirement. FuturePAC claims to be protecting the alleged victim’s identity, yet even with its allusions to an “offensive working environment,” we do not know which workplace the committee is referring to—and neither does Boddie.

Is it his day job at Mosaic Medical? Or are the allegations connected to his role as a Bend city councilor? Is it possible, at the very least, to get wind of the exact

comments Boddie allegedly made? The list of questions is seemingly endless.

Should you or I be accused of something that has the potential to damage one’s career, campaign or personal standing, and potentially put us at risk of facing compensatory and punitive damages, we should be made aware of the facts of the case, and be allowed to answer them. FuturePAC, prior to slinging this mud, should at least have the courtesy to give some details about the time, place and manner of the allegations—and its methods of investigation.

Boddie’s claim that his history with FuturePAC went sour a very short time before the allegations against him emerged makes this truly dangerous ground for Democrats. Boddie told the Source Saturday that his initial interactions with FuturePAC were cordial, and the group donated in-kind political research to Boddie’s campaign. Then, members of FuturePAC asked Boddie to contribute to their political fund to support other candidates statewide.

“At that point I started kind of asking questions, because—just as I like to be a good steward of tax money, I’m also a good steward of my contributors’ funds as well,” Boddie told the Source. “I don’t think (my supporters) contributed to me so that I could sort of hand it over to a group that I didn’t really know well out of Portland. So, I asked some good questions, and basically just did the diligence that you might do in any kind of a financial transaction, and really, they didn’t have a lot of answers for me.”

Boddie’s campaign reported in-kind donations from FuturePAC of $5,000 on May 8 and $250 on April 19, according to campaign finance information from the Oregon Secretary of State.

“I just didn’t get the answers that made me think that they were the right choice at this point,” Boddie stated.

“But they said, if you don’t play along, things get ugly, that kind of thing. And I thought, well, that just sealed it for me because that’s not the kind of candidate that I am.”

We may never know what the truth is. It appears that there will be no more information forthcoming from FuturePAC, and that is not the way a professional organization should operate. The casual way in which FuturePAC has attempted to destroy the political future of a local Democrat does the voters of Deschutes County, regardless of party, an incredible disservice. It is hard to imagine this type of political blundering happening on the west side of the mountains, and makes a voter wonder if the Democratic Party truly cares about Central Oregon. If this is the communication voters and candidates in the high desert can expect from the House Democrats’ fundraising arm, it’s time to find another way to raise money. SW

OPINION Letters

In response to Mr. Boyd, I am so very proud to have Senator Merkley as our US Senator. Arguably, his presence at the converted Walmart in Houston sparked the national outcry that led to the reluctantly issued Trump order to reunite these families. Actually, the current number of people seeking admittance to the States equals the numbers at the end of the Obama administration. But only Donald Trump has the genius to exacerbate an already horrid situation. True to his form of governance, this is a crisis of Trump’s own making.

—Foster Fell Voters who recognize the negative impacts of the human overpopulation should question Senator Merkley’s stance on immigration. Both he and Senator Wyden voted to shut down the government if DACA recipients were not given amnesty, but have not recently supported higher levels of border security to help prevent additional people from entering the US illegally. Senator Merkley is currently visiting detention centers to investigate possible “abuse” of children while not acknowledging that the number of individuals seeking asylum has risen from 5,000 to 94,000 in just seven years. There is currently a backlog of 600,000 immigration court cases. This is why President Obama implemented “catch and release” allowing many who entered illegally to stay and await a scheduled court hearing. Of course, most did not show up (an estimated 500,000) and remain illegally in the US. Senator Merkley’s “grandstanding” on this issue is politics at its worst and does a disservice to US citizens, legal immigrants and many illegal immigrants. Many of us who have followed the immigration issue for years suspect that many Congressmen want things to remain as they are because the flood of individuals entering illegally and bogus asylum seekers supplies their donors with cheap labor.

That our environment will continue to suffer from the impact of rapid population growth seems not to matter.

IN RESPONSE TO, “MCKENZIE PADDLE ADVENTURE,” 6/28 AT BENDSOURCE.COM In your “outside guide” section, the K.M. Collins story covering a day paddling the McKenzie merits some comment and correction. A Bendite since 2015, I am an Oregon and Willamette Valley native who runs a drift boat down the McKenzie and moonlighted as a fishing and rafting guide for five years. What I would like to offer to Collins story is some clarity for those who may want to boat the McKenzie but are unfamiliar with the territory.

First of all, the put-in. While most of us do refer to it as Blue River the formal name is Forest Glen and is identified as such on most maps. As for the three rapids mentioned in the story, which I will not repeat, I’d suggest not using those names lest someone assume you are a recent California transplant — at least those from the westside of the mountains. The rock garden referenced has remained nameless for as long as I know although some old-timers refer to it as Cooks. Below that the section with the large standing waves is known as Clover Point, which has changed in the last 10 years and previously was mostly an uneventful rollercoaster ride. The third rapid is Eagle Rock which sits below a tall rock spire on the left hand bank of the same name and for obvious reason. Silver Creek boat launch is in fact less than a mile downstream.

Enjoy the McKenzie and please, pack out your garbage.

—Dan Revell Fully undercelebrated are the Kayak Moms here in Bend, who are bad-ass enough on their own, but still have the energy to shuttle the gang of dirt-bag wannabes from takeout the put-in day after day for years. All this time, mostly, hiding the fears they share with their offspring while they descend into the gorge below. That takes courage.

IMHO —Mark Smith, via Facebook Well if you read the article it says the money being used is coming out of the property tax fund. You know, people like myself that pay an asinine amount of money in prop taxes every year to live here. I’m glad it’s being used for outdoor recreation. Especially since it’s in my tax zone. The people who have. No jobs, housing, etc. Won’t be effective in any way. They aren’t contributing to this park anyways.

IN RESPONSE TO, “PAC WITHDRAWS SUPPORT OF LOCAL HOUSE CANDIDATE,” ON 6/28 A long time ago the famed humorist Will Rogers quipped “I am not a member of any organized party I am a Democrat.”

I would be very grateful to the Source or any other investigative journalist to do some research on who, exactly, the FuturePAC is and whose interests it is representing.

Something’s not adding up here. FuturePAC’s credibility is on the line here, and not Dr. Boddie’s as far as I’m concerned.

There is a rot in the Democratic Party that became obvious when PACs and insiders in the Democratic Party sabotaged the exceptionally powerful Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016 in favor of the inside candidate.

I see this current controversy largely in the same light. It seems that insiders would rather lose a general election than have to deal with a candidate they cannot fully control. At least that seems a plausible explanation for the current mess the Democrats have created for themselves in District 54. Some investigative journalism is called for here. Mere reporting of the contents of press releases won’t suffice.

The laws that are in effect about cyclists’ rights do not save your life. Arrogance will kill you folks that think you have the right of way when in reality, tonnage does. What makes you fools think that you can proceed thru an intersection when a truck / trailer rig is making a right turn? I have cyclists, and especially pedestrians that think when the sun is in the eyes of westbound traffic on Colorado with all of the ridiculous red pedestrian Stop signs, that they will be seen, because hey, it is the law. The law will not save your life if you can’t be seen. Get some common sense on your side and you will survive our roads on your bike.

Baynard Woods takes stock in his last Democracy in Crisis column

9

T

his is the final Democracy in Crisis column that I will be writing. I remember the urgency with which it started. I was super stoned in a Denver hotel room just days after Trump was elected. Editors at various alt-weeklies had been wringing their hands about how to deal with Trump. Many of these papers had been militantly local during the Obama era—when I was managing editor of Baltimore City Paper, my unofficial motto was “militantly Baltimorean.” But now it seemed that whenever someone picked up their local paper, they would want to see some news from the alt angle—not the Nazi alt of alt-right, but the independent, insouciant and fiercely opinionated alt of the alternative press.

and celebrate some artistic or culinary innovation or creature comfort. There is nowhere for voice. And our city sorely misses it.

The art and music scenes are less cohesive, hardly scenes at all anymore. New writers aren’t following their passions and learning their chops. People aren’t doing insane experiments like I once did of listening to only local music for an entire year (music editors, take note).

The Washington City Paper, one of the other early sponsors of this column, came dangerously close to death during the last year; an execution stayed only by the intervention of a billionaire— but a local rich dude. The Bezos model seems to work in Washington, but we

But this is a time of crisis for the press as much as it is for democracy.

Now, more than 70 columns later, either that has changed, or I was wrong-headed from the start. The Trump regime has taken up so much air from every other story that, while it is wildly important and has implications everywhere, I believe that each of these papers is better served following up on the way Trump’s policies affect their local communities.

If it were like the old days and papers were fat and had money, a national column would be great. But this is a time of crisis for the press as much as it is for democracy. David Simon, creator of the Wire, has said that the death of newspapers will usher in—or has ushered in—a golden age of corruption because there is no one left to watch City Hall. Except for the wretches who work for the paper you’re holding in your hands.

Support them now or you will miss them when they are gone. Since the beginning of this column in January 2017, my own home paper, the Baltimore City Paper was shut down. We immediately responded with an attempt to start a new paper. We partnered with the nonprofit Real News Network and the Washington Blade and founded the Baltimore Beat. It lasted for four months before the people with the money pulled out.

Now, in our city where we will have more than 300 murders again this year, where we had a major police corruption scandal that will overturn nearly 2,000 cases, where the police commissioner was federally charged and resigned after only months in office, we have no outlet like the paper you are holding. There is no single place where you can mourn for those murdered, mock the politicians,

can’t all count on that.

I’ve gotten countless emails from other editors saying something like, “Hey man, we love the column but can’t afford it anymore.” I was once in the same boat myself as a managing editor.

It is brutal.

Between the first draft of this column and this final version, five of my fellow reporters were murdered in their newsroom, an hour away from my own. Every reporter I have ever known has been threatened or maligned at some point, but this has gotten so much worse under Trump. We don’t need the CNNs and MSNBCs. We need the Annapolis Capital Gazettes and all the small struggling papers that carried this column.

I learned from Spy Magazine that every good column has heroes and villains. Donald Trump was one of Spy’s main villains back in the 1980s, and he was the overarching villain of this column. But there were also all of those who enabled him and who he enabled, especially Michael Flynn, the alt-right goons of Charlottesville and the dark corners of the web, Project Veritas, and the ever-so-silly and sad “western chauvinist”™ frat of the Proud Boys, whose litigious western chauvinist™ lawyer threatened legal action against the papers carrying this column.

Foremost among the heroes are the 230 people arrested during the inauguration protests. The very first column detailed those protests, after I was gassed and pepper sprayed and almost arrested by the mobs of cops with covered faces who ultimately kettled a large group of protesters.

The protesters were all charged with

Journalists in the trenches help keep our democracy alive.

the few windows that were broken on the theory that because they wore black and were part of a “black bloc” protest they all conspired to damage the property. They were facing more than 60 years each.

After a year and a half of paying two U.S. Attorneys to prosecute the case and a full-time detective and parttime Trump lover Gregg Pemberton to work it, several defendants have been acquitted on all counts, and the charges against many others have dropped. This includes the charges against Elizabeth Lagesse, one of the real heroes of this column, who taught herself everything possible about the case, went to nearly every proceeding, and filed suit with the American Civil Liberties Union against Washington’s police department.

Aaron Cantú, a journalist at the Santa Fe Reporter, is still facing charges. Over the last year and a half, the #Resistance has half-heartedly fallen in love with the “free press,” railing against Trump’s tweets while still lying to us if they are politicians, and ignoring Cantú’s plight

if they are Beltway journalists. He has been living under serious criminal charges for a year and a half because he covered a protest. And he’s a hell of a good reporter.

But the real heroes of the column are the alt-weekly papers that ran it and the readers who followed along. I am so grateful to have been able to have a home in each of your cities and towns.

And I learned so much from having editors in Colorado Springs or Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and so many others.

Finally, Mary Finn spent countless hours filing Freedom of Information Act requests—some of which we are still waiting on (fingers crossed) and editing the column. Brandon Soderberg was a tireless editor and a great friend and collaborator through this.

Brandon and I will be writing a book over the next year, so if you enjoyed the column at all, keep an eye out for it.

Thank you to everyone for everything.

Deschutes Brewery Closes Va. Land Deal WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / July 5, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

10

Bend-based beer maker will brew and distribute from the East Coast in the near future; date TBA Deschutes Brewery announced on June 29 that it purchased 49 acres of land within the city of Roanoke, Va. for $3.2 million.

The purchase ends the brewery’s fouryear search for a place to open an east coast production and distribution facility. As we reported in April, the brewery altered its purchase plans, moving from an incentive-based deal to an outright land purchase. Deschutes also celebrated its 30th anniversary last week, opening its doors in downtown Bend in 1988.

“We are beyond excited to reach this point,” Michael LaLonde, Deschutes Brewery president and CEO, said in a press release. “With our shared appreciation of fine, craft beer and the great outdoors, Roanoke has already come to feel like our second home. Our next step now is to come out and throw a big party on July 14 with our 400-foot Street Pub community fundraiser event. We want elected officials, business and nonprofit leaders and drinkers of our damn tasty beer to know just how much we appreciate all the support and partnerships.”

LaLonde said the brewery’s focus now goes back to planning something unique, economically sustainable, and that supports the local community.

“During the next year, we will continue to watch the craft beer industry carefully and adjust our building plans accordingly,” he said.

Deschutes currently has its production facility and tasting room off Simpson Avenue; the downtown pub on Bond Street; the Portland Public House on NW 11th Street and the Roanoke, Va., tasting room.

OSU-Cascades Gets State Bond

The university beat its goal of raising $10 million from private donors Oregon State University-Cascades is growing. The university announced June 28 it received over $10 million in private gifts, exceeding the philanthropic match required for state bond money for the next academic building on the Bend campus.

These gifts—including private donations from the Tykeson Family Foundation, Charles McGrath and anonymous sources—combined with the $39 million in bonds approved by the Oregon State Legislature in its last session, will fund a state-of-the-art building focused on the STEAM principles of science, technology, engineering, arts and math, OSU-Cascades said in a release.

Earlier in June, the Bend City Council unanimously approved OSU-Cascades campus master plan for development of a 128-acre campus that over the next 20 years will serve up to 3,000 to 5,000 students.

The plan covers the three adjoining properties that the university owns: the existing 10-acre campus, a 46-acre

former pumice mine and the 72-acre plot that used to be the Deschutes County demolition landfill. OSU-Cascades officials said the plan details how campus districts will serve academic functions, residential housing, recreation and an innovative district where businesses can locate and collaborate with the school’s research faculty and student interns. The plan also calls for 10 miles of walking and biking paths.

The first phase of development will be an OSU-Cascades-funded roundabout at Columbia Road and Colorado Avenue.

During the campus buildout, nearly 12 additional infrastructure improvements will be funded, including new street turn lanes and sidewalks. The school will also create 1,766 on-campus parking spaces—and has the flexibility to build 514 more —which exceeds City requirements, according to OSU-Cascades.

Also this year, the State of Oregon listed OSU-Cascades as a separate institution in the next round of construction funding. An April 23 letter from Ben Cannon, Higher Education Coordinating Commission executive director, to state legislative leaders included the change and outlined how the 14-member panel

will handle the 2019 to 2021 university capital projects list.

Map Alignment Project Open House

The City of Bend will have group presentations and answer questions regarding the proposed map realignments On July 12, the City of Bend will host a Map Alignment Project open house at the Bend Park and Recreation District Community Room from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

During the open house, City staff will answer questions related to the City’s proposal to align the zoning map and the Comprehensive Plan map to provide clarity and transparency to the community about what developments are allowed and where; to make housing and development permitting more streamlined for affected properties and remove development barriers to reduce risk, costs and timelines.

Small group presentations providing an overview of the project will start at 5:45 pm, and then every 30 minutes until 7:15 pm.

he site of the old Ray’s Food Place on Century Drive and Simpson Avenue—which sat vacant from 2013 until snow collapsed the roof in January 2017—is turning into a six-story mixed use building with 203 planned residential units over the ground floor of commercial Brian Harrington, a planner for the City of Bend, told the Source the developer’s infrastructure plans are nearly approved with the engineering department and the building permits are currently in review by the building division. deChase Miksis Development, a Eugene firm, is handling the development on behalf of the owner, Forum Westside LLC, which is also based in Eugene, according to documents from the City of Bend. City records show the architect for the project is Portland-based BLRB Architects, which designed Newport Landing, a 40-unit single family and detached dwelling building on Bend’s westside. The firm also designed the 25 luxury townhomes near the Old Mill District called the Mill Quarter and helped renovate the 100 Wall Building downtown.

According to the proposal on file with the City, the 191,064 square foot building will also have three food cart pads.

During the public comment period, the City only received five emails, with three in favor of the mixed-used proposal. David Welton wrote that he was in favor of the additional housing and mixed-use commercial the project will bring in a highly walkable part of town.

This is an artist’s rendering for the proposed residential/commercial building.

“Housing people in a city with rapidly rising rents, and providing some commercial amenities to boot is, in my book, far more important than the city getting involved with trying to figure out precisely how much parking to force a developer to provide,” Welton said in his email.

The City also received an email from Steve and Danielle Tee, questioning the building’s height and the number of parking spaces and traffic impacts.

“We strongly believe that a threeor four-story structure would be more compatible with the development profile of the other uses in the vicinity, such

During the public comment period, the City only received five emails, with three in favor of the mixed-used proposal.

James Roberts, who said he lives in the River West Neighborhood which borders the building, said in his email the project was precisely the type of re-use for the site that he hopes will kick start the redevelopment of the city’s central west side.

“Sadly, many of my neighbors have argued the long-dispelled axioms of NIMBYs (not in my backyard) and despite explanations of how traffic and parking work in real life they appear to be mostly united in opposition. Thus the reason for my support today. Build this and get the other project in the works and this area can begin a wonderful transformation that will be an asset to the city for decades to come,” Roberts wrote in his email.

as those constructed on the OSU-Cascades campus,” the Tees wrote in their email. “Because we can think of no six-story structures on Bend’s west side, we are concerned that approval of the application without modification would be precedent-setting, and lead to an increase in the number of proposals for highly dense and intense mixed-use development in the area without regard to neighborhood compatibility.”

In February, Linda May and Tracy Wright—both homeowners in River West—told the Source the combination of the apartments now coming to the Old Ray’s, and the possibility of apartments next to the Bend Park and Recreation Pavilion were too many, too soon, and they were worried about traffic issues.

In regard to parking, the City’s code states that vehicle parking is allowed only on approved streets, within garages, carports and other structures, or on driveways or parking lots that have been developed in conformance with the code. City officials found in their assessment of the proposed building that the parking conforms to the code, and the proposed shared parking exceeds the minimum requirement by 19 spaces.

In regard to traffic, the City sometimes requires a transportation impact analysis under the Bend Development Charter for certain types of development proposals, to determine access restrictions of driveways onto arterial and collector roadways.

The City’s finding was that the Transportation Facilities Report that deChase Miksis submitted on Jan. 5, 2018—prepared by Transight Consulting LLC— indicated the proposed development will result in a decrease of 30 to 60 percent of traffic from the site’s previous use as a grocery store. Therefore, the City concluded a TIA is not required for the proposal.

It’s unclear what type of dwellings the developers are going to build. Calls to deChase Miksis asking about what type of living spaces—high-end apartments, affordable housing or luxury townhomes—were not returned. SW

The extension of 27th Street will allow for an east side pass-through—but it could come with some big cuts for one local club

hen it comes to City of Bend priorities, one big one is a project that will connect 27th Street to Empire Boulevard—and one that may cause temporary headaches for those in the area.

The extension would extend Empire farther east, past Purcell Boulevard, and would extend 27th north of Butler

Market Road. The two will join just west of Pine Nursery Park.

“This project was identified in the early 2000s as part of the transportation system plan,” said Sinclair Burr, project engineer with the City of Bend Public Works Department. “At that point, it was identified as a new means by which people get from the north

to Talk P aw

part of the town, to the east side of town and vice versa.”

The City has been working on the project for nearly 15 years, having originally planned the design between 2004 and 2006. They were forced to stop before it could get off the ground.

“With the recession, we kind of had to reprioritize all our transportation

projects— then the Empire extension was cut,” Burr explained. “Last year, one of [the City Council’s] goals was to update our transportation system. The Empire Corridor Improvements Project was one of the highest priority projects in the objectives to achieve their goal.”

Over the past year, the public works department has been working with consultants to help design and construct the project, with the goal of a smoother traffic flow, as well as alleviating some of the traffic on Butler Market and Purcell.

ranch

It was once an over-grazed range that became the home of Rajneeshpuram.

Now another type of religion occupies the space, along with ranchers committed to land restoration

By Brian Jennings Brian Jennings covered the Rajneesh controversy while serving as news director at KXL Radio in Portland in the 1980s. This year, he headed back to the former Big Muddy Ranch two times, to see the sweeping changes there first-hand.

M

adras area rancher Ron Ochs, 88, says it was the most bizarre time in Oregon history. He’s one of many Oregonians who have recently re-lived the Rajneesh era, between 1981 and 1985, by watching the popular Netflix documentary series, “Wild, Wild Country.”

When we met up with Ochs at his ranch, he was more than willing to talk about the influx of thousands of followers of the Indian guru and mystic, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh—later known as Osho—at the Big Muddy Ranch near Antelope. The guru preached peace, goodwill and free love, and attracted a large following of Westerners, starting with his days in Puna, India.

“Given the way they acted around here and what they did, I thought it was a tribute to the restraint of the local populace that nobody ever took a shot at him,” Ochs stated in talking about the guru.

Ochs says he would frequently watch Bhagwan and his followers drive to Madras, past his ranch on Highway 97, in one of the nearly 90 Rolls Royce sedans the guru owned. “There were so many people that he made so mad after they came here and started throwing their weight around.”

Ochs says armed guards were visible in front of Bhagwan’s sedan, front and back. “It was like he was afraid of being shot.”

After purchasing the ranch in 1981, Bhagwan and his followers established their own police force at the ranch and effectively took over the nearby small town of Antelope. In a show of intimidation, armed followers would roam and patrol the streets in what is now a near ghost town-like setting.

Today, a commemorative plaque of the era is found along the main street in Antelope, a town where many of the buildings frequented by locals and cult followers are now abandoned.

Controlling the political landscape Land issues began to pop up not long after the arrival of the Rajneesh and his followers, called sannyasins.

The Rajneesh wanted to close a county access road to locals, and the issue nearly came to blows as ranchers vowed to drive through any barricades the Rajneesh threatened to establish.

Rajneeshpuram’s second-in-command, Ma Anand Sheela, was often seen wearing a sidearm as she walked and viewed activities along the controversial road.

While the Rajneesh were armed, so were ranchers.

“It was the first time I heard her referred to as the brown-eyed bitch— and she was,” said Ochs.

As has been widely reported, core Rajneesh followers including Ma Anand Sheela began to hatch plots against key local and state politicians who they viewed as adversaries. Federal investigators uncovered unsuccessful murder plots against then-Oregon Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer, U.S. Attorney Charles Turner and former investigative reporter Les Zaitz of The Oregonian, among others.

Prosecutors found that the cult even wire tapped

their own people with surveillance devices at public telephones on the ranch. Arson plots of government facilities were also conceived but not successful. It was clear Rajneesh leaders felt their future hinged on changing and controlling the political landscape. They began busing in homeless people to Madras and other points, in an effort to boost voters sympathetic to their cause.

The poisoning After all the drama, it was a poisoning plot that captured international headlines. In an effort to keep locals from the polls and ultimately to control the county election, 10 restaurants in The Dalles were targeted, ensuring Rajneesh candidates would be elected.

Billie Kuenzi was 19 years old at the time of the poisoning plot in September 1984. Ten days before her wedding, she returned to her home in The Dalles, the Wasco County seat, and went to a local fast food restaurant to grab a salad with her mother.

Little did she know it was laced with salmonella investigators later found to be cultured at a lab at the Rajneesh ranch.

“That night I became ill. By the next day I was extremely ill. By the third day I felt like I was on death’s doorstep.” Kuenzi says she experienced great pain and by the time she got to the hospital she discovered the place was full of other people suffering the

same symptoms.

In all, 751 people were poisoned and 45 hospitalized in what today remains the largest bioterror attack on American soil.

“I was writhing and screaming in pain, and my mom was terrified because I felt like I was being ripped apart,” Kuenzi reports. She never fully recovered, she says. The poisoning triggered a life-long health issue that includes Irritable Bowel Syndrome. “Knowingly poisoning someone is a horrible thing,” she says.

Federal investigators close in The year 1984 was a pivotal time at the Rajneesh ranch. Federal investigators began closing in with concrete evidence that the ranch had cultured the salmonella, building a case against the top followers of the controversial guru.

By 1985, second-in-command Sheela fled and was found in Europe. Following extradition, she served only 29 months of a 20-year sentence on charges

related to the restaurant poisonings, assault, conspiracy to commit assault, wire-tapping and setting fire to a county office. She now lives in Switzerland where she has operated nursing homes.

Baghwan denied involvement but fled soon after Sheela. He was apprehended in one of his DC-3 planes in Charlotte, N.C., and charged with immigration fraud.

He eventually paid a $400,000 fine and returned to India, where he died five years later, never having been proved as having a direct hand in the poisoning or other criminal activity.

After the Rajneesh The U.S. government seized the ranch, eventually selling it to the company owned by Montana-based billionaire Dennis R. Washington. The company eventually donated the ranch to Young Life International, a Christian-based organization focusing on teens. Today, the Washington Family Young Life Ranch hosts up to

8,000 teenagers from around the world for week-long summer camps. An emphasis is placed on relaxation, activities and fellowship—but it’s no ordinary camp.

Modern hotel-like dormitories tower over the space.

There’s also a large sports center where the Rajneesh once staged mass meetings. There’s also an extravagant waterpark, entertainment and medical facilities, extensive maintenance facilities and lodges and home sites that house a permanent staff of employees.

“When people come out who know the past history, they are so excited to see what’s going on here and what impact we’re having on kids and on the world,” says Andy Squires, Young Life Camp Manager.

The Big Muddy, past & present Meanwhile, the site continues to operate as a working ranch. Historically, the 64,000-acre ranch was known as the Big Muddy Ranch, a sprawling cattle ranch from the late 19th- to the mid-20th century.

Like many ranches of the era, it continued on page 19...

was over-grazed, creating much bare, dry ground, and creeks void of vegetation, according to present ranch manager, Peter Grubb.

“Muddy Creek is a section of land that has been over-grazed over the last hundred years with sheep and cattle, so it was in pretty bad shape when we took it over.”

In the hot, high desert, water is king, so current ranch managers have placed a strong emphasis on capturing and preserving water supplies. Spring water is stored in numerous small holding tanks throughout the ranch and much emphasis has been placed on land restoration.

They do that with modern cattle management techniques and planting hardwoods along creek beds, which provides shade and conserves water. Cattle are frequently rotated through pastures, preventing grazing damage to the soils. Cattle waste enriches the soil, helping grasses to grow. Growing grasses helps restore moisture to the land, improving ground water. When Young Life acquired the ranch, there were only seven pastures on its landscape. Today, there are 45.

Large reservoirs provide irrigation to alfalfa and grass crops, which feed cattle, whose herd population is controlled so their numbers don’t overwhelm the land.

service for hunters and fishermen along a section of the John Day River adjacent to the ranch.

Containing one of the few remaining wild steelhead runs in Oregon, fishing is a big deal on the John Day. The lower three miles of Big Muddy Creek, which runs through the heart of the ranch, has become a prime spawning area for salmon, steelhead and native redband trout in the John Day watershed.

“We put plantings there to protect that section of the creek,” Grubb says. Root systems spread laterally and connect the stream channel with the floodplain. The ranch plants about 1,500 hardwood trees each year, growing them in a nursery-like setting.

“What it comes down to is decreasing water temperature and increasing water storage—and water storage in the desert is huge,” says Grubb. The intent is to collect and store as much water as possible during the winter, so it releases more slowly during the hot summer months. Summer-run steelhead rely on the cooler water starting in July, August and September, when temperatures are often over 100 degrees.

Arguably, few western ranches have the history that has been written at the Big Muddy Ranch: abused in the days before ranch practices changed for the better, controversial in what many consider the dark days of Rajneeshpuram, and inspirational in a conservation turn-around in more recent years. SW

Good for wildlife With rich pastures, wildlife also benefits. Sometimes, ranchers view wildlife as a nuisance, worried they’ll damage their crops. Young Life ranchers maintain that what’s good for cattle is good for wildlife and vice versa. Herds of mule deer and elk can often be seen throughout the ranch, which also operates a guide

By Anne Pick Submitted Amber Patrick

“We do have a say in the bands that open for us. We like to give them a bigger crowd, and I think our crowd is a music-lover crowd.” —MIKE NESS Social Distortion released its last studio album in 2011. Ever since, fans have been eagerly anticipating new music from the band.

“We’re a huge national and international touring act. People always go, ‘Why does it take so long between records?’ The tour cycle for a new album is at the minimum three years, and after three years you just want to come home and do life for a while.”

Right after this summer tour, Social Distortion jumps back on the road for a lengthy fall tour. Ness says he looks forward to January when he can get into isolation mode and take the 60 or 70 ideas he has and whittle them down. He’ll see which songs fit and which don’t—and then he’ll finish the ones that do.

“Every now and again it’s nice to go back to the basics, simple things,” Ness says. “I don’t want to give away the whole direction of the next record, but it’s not going to be the same record people are expecting.

I’m 56, it might not be a mellow record. It’s not going to be a sit down and barbeque kind of record.”

The last time Social Distortion came to Bend, the band played at the Century Center with opener Nicki Lane, an incredible outlaw country singer-songwriter. This time around, Social Distortion brings along Philadelphia-based piano-rockers Low Cut Connie, whose latest album, “Dirty Pictures (Part 2),” recently made it onto Rolling Stone magazine’s 50 Best Albums of the Year So Far. “We do have a say in the bands that open for us,” Ness says. “We like to give them a bigger crowd, and I think our crowd is a music-lover crowd. We try to find bands that have some things in common with us,

Social Distortion still loves the thrill of touring. Catch them at Midtown Ballroom 7/8. Low Cut Connie gets showered with praise from everyone from Rolling Stone to Barack Obama. See them open for Social Distortion.

but aren’t trying to be us. Usually management will send me links and I listen to it. You can’t always tell by listening to a record, but it’s working really well with both Low Cut Connie and Aaron Lee Tasjan.”

Low Cut Connie Low Cut Connie delivers a high-energy performance with lead singer and pianist Adam Weiner at the keys. The band has great word of mouth, having received love from Rolling Stone, NPR Music and former President Barack Obama. Weiner himself draws comparisons to Elton John. Before forming Low Cut Connie, Weiner played piano at piano bars, gay bars, ballet classes and cabaret venues.

“When I was five years old, I started plinking and plunking around, but mostly just climbing on the furniture,” Weiner recalls. “It was a nice black piano that was cool to climb on and I’m still doing that today. I made the first Low Cut Connie album as kind of a side project and really got into my comfort zone on that first album. People really responded to it, and now we carry a 400- pound piano to every show.”

The band’s name refers to a waitress Weiner once met at a diner in southern New Jersey. As a songwriter, Weiner likes to use his music to tells stories about everyday people. Touring as much as they do gives Weiner plenty

of opportunities to meet people all over the world. He finds real-life experience more interesting than fiction, and many of the people he meets at shows, restaurants, hotels and bars find their way into the band’s songs.

“I have a very voracious appetite for performing. I like changing the molecules in the room. I get the itch to do that a much as possible,” Weiner says.

So far this summer, Weiner has gotten many chances to feed his appetite for performing while being on tour with Social Distortion. He appreciates the mentorship that a touring band like Social D can bring to Low Cut Connie.

“Their fans and the band have been great,” Weiner says. “We’re not exactly the same genre as them, but you don’t want your appetizer to have the same flavor as your entree. The fans have embraced us, and the band, Social Distortion, they really appreciate that. They hand picked us for this tour. Mike Ness said Neil Young took them out on a long tour and it brought them to another level, so he’s trying to spread the love to us.” SW Social Distortion With Low Cut Connie and Aaron Lee Tasjan Sun., July 8. 8pm Midtown Ballroom 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend $37.50

“I

t still gives me a thrill, man, ya know,” Mike Ness, lead singer of Social Distortion says of touring. “I obviously still love it, I wouldn’t have been doing it this long if I didn’t. It’s hard sometimes, it’s challenging. It seems like this schedule we’re on now would be hard for a 25-year-old. It’s trying to balance a little more now because you have to have time to recharge.

Like your computer needs to be recharged and rebooted, and that’s a machine.”

Fans of punk-meets-rockabilly icons Social Distortion have no complaints about the fact that Ness still loves touring, even at 56 years old. Even if you haven’t been to a Social D show, odds are you recognize the band’s famed dancing skeleton emblem, emblazoned across torn-up leather jackets and the bottom of skateboard decks for decades. Social Distortion sits at a level only certain other bands reach in their careers — that of cultural icon, or rather, counter-culture icon.

Like The Misfits, Bad Religion and Black Flag, certain bands within the broader rock genre have found a distinct and dedicated following that loves to showcase its adoration. Long-time “Social D” fans have never been shy when it comes to brandishing the band’s logo, icons, songs and memorabilia. A simple search on Google or Pinterest reveals an endless slew of Social Distortion tattoos — the most permanent form of band love.

“I think the one I like the most, someone had taken my gold-topped guitar and did it on their full side torso. It looked really bitchin.’ It had the Orange County logo on it,” Ness says.

SOUND

A Deep, Steep Collaboration

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers exist as two separate entities in music, but also merge into one touring force

25

By Alan Sculley

I

f bluegrass music has an equivalent to the relationship Bob Dylan enjoyed with The Band, it might be in the partnership that has developed between Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers.

Dylan famously brought the future members of The Band—originally known as The Hawks—to be his backing band on his 1965 and 1966 tours, during which he plugged in and went electric with some of his show, a move that sparked loud objections from some fans of his solo acoustic folk music. In 1967, Dylan and The Band began an extended writing and recording session that produced a legendary set of music, eventually emerging in 1975 on “The Basement Tapes” double album and a 2014 6-CD

“But I think we met him just at the right time when we were popular enough and good enough to be able to do the gig and bring something to the table...”

—MIKE GUGGINO box set documenting more than 100 songs committed to tape during that time. Dylan and the Band then reunited in 1974 for an extensive tour that produced the live album, “Before the Flood.”

The Steep Canyon Rangers had been a group for some nine years and had released five albums when they met

Martin and were selected by the comedian/banjo player to be his backing band on a tour to promote Martin’s bluegrass album, the 2009 release, “The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo.”

A decade later, the collaboration is still going strong, with the Steep Canyon Rangers having done several tours with Martin and played on two more Martin albums – the latest of which is last year’s “The Long-Awaited Album.”

Several members of the Rangers also played on “Love Has Come for You,” the album Martin and Edie Brickell released in 2013. Looking back, mandolin player Mike Guggino said the timing to start working with Martin was ideal for his group. The Steep Canyon Rangers – which also includes guitarist/singer Woody Platt, banjo player/singer Graham Sharp, fiddle player Nicky Sanders, drummer Mike Ashworth and new bassist Barrett Smith (replacing Charles Humphrey III)—were established enough in the bluegrass world to be seen as a viable band on their own, but still in a place where an association with a big name like Martin would help them grow their audience, and not deflect too much attention away from their own careers.

“I think if we had met him years later, it might not have been a good idea,” Guggino said. “But I think we met him just at the right time when we were popular enough and good enough to be able to do the gig and bring something to the table, but not so popular and whatever that it would have been a bad choice to not do our continued on page 26...

The Steep Canyon Rangers back up Steve Martin and Martin Short on Friday at Les Schwab Amphitheater.

A Deep, Steep Collaboration, continued singer Martin Short, who together bring a mix of comedy and music to the stage in these shows. The group joins Martin and Short on stage at the Les Schwab Amphitheater July 6.

For “Out in the Open,” the group worked with a noted producer who isn’t from the bluegrass world and has worked with a stylistically diverse range of music acts: Joe Henry. Going into the recording, Henry proposed a recording approach that is rarely used these days.

He wanted the Steep Canyon Rang-

“We’re such a live band, a touring band, we’re always touring. We tour all year round...”

—MIKE GUGGINO phrey III each have co-writing credits on a song, and the entire band was heavily involved in arranging the songs.

“I think the Rangers had as much to do with the arrangements, if not more, than Steve on every song,” Guggino said. “And that’s what’s so cool. He (Martin) trusts us. He trusts our ears and our tastes and we work together very well, and we come up with arrangements for these songs.

It’s a great collaboration that way. I think our style and our aesthetic is aligned even more than it was when we started.

So it’s really like a band now.”

Of course, the Steep Canyon Rangers also continue to make albums and do their own shows between touring and recording commitments with Martin.

The group recently released its 10th studio album, “Out in the Open,” and is spending this summer playing a mix of their own headlining dates and shows in which they serve as backing band for Martin and fellow comedian/actor/

ers to record completely live—including the vocals—with no overdubbing. Guggino said the band knew that could be a challenge.

“You’ve got to get every solo, every little backup lick, every harmony vocal, and you all have to do it at the same time, and if somebody messes up, the whole take is gone,” he explained.

It turned out to be an effective way to record the songs.

“You know, it wasn’t as hard as we thought it was going to be, and the reason is we play together all the time,” Guggino said. “We’re such a live band, a touring band, we’re always touring. We tour all year round…We know each other so well and our tendencies and how we all think it’s going to feel, how we kind of push and pull together and it works.

It makes sense. We even stood like we do on the stage. That’s how we stood around the microphones.”

The idea behind recording live,

Guggino said, was to capture the fire, energy and emotion the Steep Canyon Rangers bring to their concerts.

And he thinks “Out in the Open” is a very authentic representation of the group as a result.

What also helps “Out in the Open” is that the band’s songwriting is strong throughout the dozen songs. The album continues the Steep Canyon Rangers’ move toward a broader acoustic sound that, while rooted in bluegrass, draws from other genres. Highly melodic tunes such as the easy-going “Farmers And Pharaohs” and “Roadside Anthems” are as much pop and Americana as any other genre. The title song, a deliberately paced, harmonica-spiced track, leans old-time country, while the lovely ballads, “Going Midwest” and “Best of Me” have a timeless country sound. And even songs that have a good bit of bluegrass (“Let Me Out of This Town” and “Love Harder”) have richer melodies than one might expect in that genre. Guggino said the band is so pleased with “Out in the Open” that they’re playing the entire album during their headlining shows.

“This is the first album that I think

we’ve ever released where we play every single song from the record in the show, which is pretty cool,” Guggino said. “I think that has a lot to do with the way we recorded the record.”

For the shows with Martin and Short, though, the Steep Canyon Rangers will have a somewhat limited role.

“Our role in that show is not significant as far as the time we’re on stage.

We’re only on stage not even a quarter or third of the time. It’s a comedy show with those two guys doing their thing,” Guggino said. “But what we do is really impactful. I think it’s really impactful for the audience to all of a sudden see Steve up there playing the banjo, and not just playing the banjo, he’s tearing it up. And then we play a couple of tunes with him, and with Martin Short. Then they leave the stage and let us do a song just by ourselves.

“They give us the chance to showcase our stuff on a pretty hot little number, and that usually gets the crowd to its feet,” he said. “And Marty and Steve like to joke that it’s the only standing ovation that happens during the whole show, and they’re not on stage.” SW

Dead Awesome

A reunion at Autzen—and not just for members of the Grateful Dead

By Nicole Vulcan submitted

29 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 27 / July 5, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Newbie John Mayer, left, is flanked by original Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, right, and drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart at Saturday’s show.

A

ccording to The Register-Guard, Autzen Stadium hadn’t hosted a concert in 20 years before this past Saturday night—but when the band is the newest iteration of the Grateful Dead, it’s worth making an exception. In fact, exceptional is perhaps one of the only ways to describe the Dead & Company concert at the University of Oregon’s venerable football stadium, which took place June 30.

The last time the Grateful Dead played Autzen was in 1994, when its beloved lead singer, Jerry Garcia, was still alive and playing his own brand of four-fingered guitar. The band first played Autzen some 40 years ago—memories of which were shared by not a few grey-haired, tie-dyed attendees of Saturday’s show.

Indeed, it was a reunion for members of the original band, but also for fans—which Eugene, Ore. has in spades. (Of course, many Central Oregonians made the trip, too, being the closest show to our neck of the woods.) A concert, held in the iconic stadium boasting the University of Oregon “O” over the scene, certainly combined some of Oregonians’ favorite things. Surprisingly though, the show wasn’t sold out. I bought a ticket last minute, without needing to raise my pointer finger and beg for a “miracle” outside the doors.

The Grateful Dead without Garcia, who died in 1995, has been, well… a series of iterations and re-iterations. Over the past 20+ years, you might have seen band members as the Other Ones, Furthur or Phil Lesh & Friends, containing one or more of the original members. The Fare Thee Well tour of 2015 included bassist Phil Lesh, guitarist and vocalist Bob Weir, percussionists Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann—along

with Phish’s Trey Anastasio on guitar and vocals, Bruce Hornsby on piano and vocals and Jeff Chimenti on keys and vocals. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead, that limited tour was touted as the final time the members would play together.

Many have railed at the choice of Mayer, but my own take was nothing but pleasant surprise at how much I enjoyed him in this band.

Thus far, that’s been the case, since Lesh is not on the bill during the current tour. On bass (and drums) this time around is Otiel Burbridge, a jazz- and classically trained musician who played with the Allman Brothers Band from 1997 to 2014. Chimenti is back, too. Singing a majority of the tunes, Weir definitely takes the lead, rocking out favorites including “One More Saturday Night” (it was Saturday, after all), “Dark Star,” and “Morning Dew” at the Eugene show.

And then there’s the addition of John Mayer, known for his sugary-sweet, mainstream solo music, who’s been “playing Garcia” in this band since Weir and Mayer met in 2015. The two shared vocals on a host of crowd

faves during the Eugene show, including “St. Stephen,” “Lovelight,” and the encore, “Brokedown Palace.” Here is also the moment in which I must mention the stellar “Drums/Space” number close to the end of the show, courtesy of Kreutzmann and Hart. Just wow.

Many were dubious about the addition of Mayer—and my concert companions and I were some of them—but not for long. Mayer’s musicianship in this band is decidedly Southern-blues influenced, adding another dimension to the riffs so many have long known and loved. His sweet voice grows on you, inside the Dead’s beloved lyrics.

It’s gotta be a tough gig for Mayer in some respects, since Dead fans tend to set the bar high. No one can compare to Garcia, they say. Many have railed at the choice of Mayer, but my own take was nothing but pleasant surprise at how much I enjoyed him in this band.

When aiming to fill the slot Garcia once held, is it better to try to imitate? Perhaps not—and Mayer does do his own thing. The younger musician—who stood out on the Eugene stage in stark white jeans— is admittedly a relatively new Dead fan, and yet seems to fully understand what fans are looking for.

As Mayer wrote on his Instagram feed in May, just before the current tour kicked off: “And I think of Jerry Garcia and his intentions with every song we play. I’m only there so that on my best of nights, you might get to him.”

Like Garcia before him, Mayer’s vocals and guitar did offer fans the ability to be transported.

As he wrote, “I’m like anyone else who was ever moved by this music, who was discovered by it, and not the other way around.” SW

another mic nearby. The two are calm and collected, having fun as they work through their ‘80s playlist. Sometimes there’s a theme such as old jazz, rhythm and blues or electronica; other times they wing it.

Both girls say they’ve been influenced by the music their parents played while growing up. Cornutt prefers alternative rock including U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Squeeze and “clean” Blink-82, which she laughs, “is hard to come by.”

Cole is more into rhythm and blues, Motown and Sinatra-era music.

“My favorite part is spending time with Vivienne and learning what it’s like to operate a radio station, what goes on behind the scenes,” Cole says. “It’s kind of exciting to be a part of it. I like hearing all the new music that I get exposed to.”

Cornutt adds, “I enjoy spending time with Lauryn. I like the independence of it because it really feels like you’re in charge of it with your partner, and even if no one’s listening to it, it’s fun to

share. It’s a good way to volunteer in the community.”

Erika Windlinx, 18, is a newer volunteer who now has about half a dozen shows under her belt. She plays classic rock—music often older than she is.

“I also give a bunch of facts about the rock songs I dig up,” she says.

Windlinx got started by taking the KPOV radio class offered through Central Oregon Community College. “You get the instruction and then you get to be a DJ and try it out. I’m still figuring it all out.”

She recalls her first show, when the music she’d brought fell about 30 seconds short of her one-hour time slot. “I panicked on the air!” she blurts. Since then, she’s learned to bring in extra songs just in case. Still, she’s amazed at how fast the hour flies by.

Early on, she got a phone call from KPOV DJ Chuckaroo the Buckaroo (from “Calling All Cowboys,” airing 4 to 6 pm Sundays), telling her she was doing a good job.

Windlinx is a natural, expertly hitting her cues and all the right buttons and slide controls, reading the station IDs and live music promos. A tad of nervousness still propels her to talk rapidly, something she admits she is still working on.

“I’ve always been listening to the radio and always thought it would be fun to be a DJ,” she says, adding that she’d like to work in radio.

On a recent Thursday, Windlinx’s dad, Randy, came to watch her show in person for the first time—a fun moment, since she learned most of the bands through him.

“Who would’ve thought that AC/ DC would bring a father and daughter together,” Randy chuckles. While he’s directed his daughter to a number of bands growing up, he still thinks of more bands that she should check out.

Most recently, it was Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Some of Windlinx’s favorite bands include Journey, Def Leppard, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, REO Speedwagon, Aerosmith, Kiss and the Guess Who. And, she adds, “I love Foghat!”

The “old timer” of the current stable of young DJs is Axel Hovorka, 13, who started DJing more than two years ago, in the fifth grade. He, too, took the DJ course at COCC and has attended the KPOV kids radio camp. He also has a thing for music of a certain era.

“Classic rock is pretty much the only thing I play,” he says, adding that he appreciates the old school vibe of vinyl records. Early on, he says he received a lot of help from fellow KPOV DJ Mike Ficher (of the “Ultimate Oldies Show,” airing 6 to 8 pm Fridays).

Hovorka says he listened to a lot of music traveling in the car while growing up in southern Utah. Phil Collins and Earth, Wind and Fire were his gateway to other music. He and his dad, Joe, have done shows together during KPOV pledge drives.

Hovorka says he always has a playlist ready, because “winging it seems like a disaster. Having a pretty good idea of what you’re going to do is really important.” The one constant in Hovorka’s shows: ending every one with “The Final Countdown” by Europe. But the artist that Hovorka says he enjoys playing the most is Prince.

KPOV Station Manager Jill Mahler says they’re always looking for new, young DJs to fill the Thursday time slots. Interested? Call the station. SW

Young DJs thrive on KPOV

t was four o’clock on a Thursday afternoon. I can’t remember where I was driving, but on KPOV-FM (88.9), the DJ dropped the 1963 classic, “Be My Baby” by The Ronettes, featuring Ronnie Spector. As the Bend traffic slowed, my mind flipped the switch to that song when it was featured in the 1973 Martin Scorsese film, “Mean Streets.” That opening scene made me love this song all the more. When a DJ opens a show with this song, they’ve earned my attention and respect.

And so it was that the “Youth Radio Hour” on KPOV grabbed me by the ears and heart on a balmy, late spring Thursday afternoon.

A small but dedicated posse of young DJs is doing its part to keep the magic of live radio alive, raining sweet tunes on the ears of Central Oregon from 4 to 5 pm every Thursday.

The “Be My Baby” show was the effort of DJ team Lauryn Cole and Vivienne Cornutt, who’ve been co-hosting shows on KPOV since last fall. Friends since they were in elementary school, they’re both 17 and juniors at Summit High School.

“It was Lauryn’s idea,” to start doing a radio show, Cornutt says.

“It’s a team effort,” Cole counters.

“I like the idea that we’re potentially reaching people.” The co-hosts take turns coming up with a playlist and sitting in the “captain’s chair” in the control room, while the other sits at

“To hear an artist talk about process and their passion, and source of inspiration, it is a unique offering.”

—LINDA SPRING To hear an artist talk about process and their passion, and source of inspiration, it is a unique offering,” says Spring.

IIt’s also allowed Spring to use her show as a way to teach listeners how to talk about art. Often, with an artist’s work in front of her, Spring describes the art. Does it have texture?

How’s the color? Does it feel ethereal? The result is often an educational one, allowing listeners to greater understand the world of visual art, and often what goes into it. “People learn how much goes into a piece—all the hours, resources, materials and such.”

Creatively these days, Spring continues to be inspired by painting on silk and offers her wearable art at various shops in Bend and Portland. While many of her wearable pieces include scarves and leggings she sells in high-end boutiques, her love for painting on silk is still extended onto her fine art as well. “I am feeling newly invigorated,” she says of her focus these days. Linda Spring being excited is a great prospect for us all. SW

he Bend Art community continues to grow and as it does, a few things remain the same. One is Linda Spring, perpetual advocate for local artists and renegade designer of wearable art. Spring has long worked toward creating spaces and places for artists to create, show their work and collaborate in Central Oregon. In the past she operated Studio 550, an active gallery space specifically for large conceptual, political installations, and served on the board of Artists Local 101. “If an artist needs to dump a pile of dirt somewhere, you could do that in my gallery,” recalls Spring.

For the last five years, Spring has brought her love and enthusiasm for the arts community to the airwaves with her segment, Radioactive Art, the Thursday edition of KPOV’s daily morning show The Point. While radio offers a unique challenge when discussing visual art, Spring finds the inability to “see” the work being discussed to be an asset. “A lot of painters are seen, but the general public rarely gets to hear what they have to say—their inspirations, their technique or the essences of their work.

“Custer Abandoned” A book by Frederick J. Gientke As interviewed by Chris Miller

Family Owned & Operated

F

rederick Gientke’s book is about the 1876 Great Sioux War in Montana, but unlike most books that place the focus on Gen. George Custer, this one focuses on Gen. George Crook and his retreat after the Rosebud battle that left Custer without the expected and needed support. Crook is the namesake of Oregon’s Crook County.

Gientke, a Bend local, spent 14 years writing the book, traveling countless miles in the area near the sites of Little Bighorn and other battles. He took over 240 photos for the book and included annotated topographic maps that immerse the reader into the Powder River country and the ultimate tragic events that happened to Custer and his men.

We sat down with Gientke at the Source office to talk about his unique look at the war that took Custer’s life.

Delive availa ry thru B ble Take Oend (Delive u ry Ch t

does ap arge ply)

Source Weekly: With all the books about Custer, what made you want to write this one?

Frederick Gientke: Well, all of the books that are written about Custer, none of them have ever focused on the premise that I have. Which is that Custer’s death—he was definitely killed by the Northern Sioux in the Little Bighorn battle—but his death was caused by General Crook, who abandoned the campaign a week before the Little Bighorn battle.

SW: You said it took 14 years to write the book. How did you keep at it for such a long period of time?

FG: Well, I have a strong interest in certain historical things, like pharaohs of ancient Egypt. I like reading about the Middle Ages and I like the history about the Little Bighorn. But there were gaps in my writing and as I was taking more and more time, I was getting to understand that really if you want to write a good book—a deep book—something that’s different, you really got to take time, think about it and let it evolve slowly.

SW: You mentioned you’re very interested in history.

FG: Yes, I do not read novels. Almost everyone reads novels and novels and novels. I refuse to read a novel. If I’m going to read, I’m going to read about history. And if I get a book, it’s almost always going to be about the Sioux Indian War. SW “Custer Abandoned”

CULTURE

Trailer Biz

It’s like a food cart movement for other types of businesses—and these two are even located in a food cart lot near you

By Caitlin Richmond

Head Over Wheels

“I’ve always loved the aesthetic of an Airstream trailer,” says Jyliana Porterfield, who owns the mobile salon. “And if you’re doing hair, you really don’t need much room.”

Porterfield had been cutting hair for four years when she made the jump from a traditional salon to her current setup at Head Over Wheels. The transition was relatively easy, Porterfield says. The hardest part was waiting to find the perfect retro trailer, but she ended up finding one from one of her clients.

From there, she worked with contractors to gut the interior, building two hair cutting stations and one shampoo station. Keeping the look of the interior in line with the retro feel of her 1946 Spartan Manor was important to Porterfield, and something she strove for over the six months it took to build the mobile salon.

“The craftsmanship is out of this world,” she said of the interior.

“I’m a very detailed-oriented person, and it was important to me to have everything right. When you’re inviting the public in, you need to have no apologies.”

Although she’s open to going mobile and would one day like to be on a Northwest hair-cutting tour, for now you can find Head Over Wheels at the Podski lot on Arizona Avenue. Walk-ins are welcome Fridays and Saturdays from 1 pm to 8 pm; otherwise, clients visit Porterfield’s website to make an appointment.

Come Enjoy our Patio Oasis Swedish Dry Sauna Thermal Soaking Tub

Dyad Adornment Co. Walking into Courtney Willis’s Silver Streak is like walking into a carefully curated jungle. There are plants everywhere; all horizontal spaces are covered with pots. The large window on the side of Willis’s 18-foot, 1956 Silver Streak is filled with plants hanging from macrame hangers.

Willis, like Porterfield, wanted a vintage trailer for the mobile aspect, but has no plans to leave her spot at Spoken Moto anytime soon. Even with a more permanent location, the trailer was a crucial step to expanding her business to include houseplants as well as handmade jewelry.

“I definitely wouldn’t have done this without the Airstream,” she said, refering to her Silver Streak. “With a brick and mortar store there is more commitment, and I wanted to keep it small and keep it simple.”

Although her storefront may be simple, the process of getting the plants to Bend requires more logistics. Willis decided to expand to plants because there were few places to buy houseplants in Bend—which means she drives to Portland every week or so to add to her selection. This involves driving the three and a half hours, staying with a friend, then waking up in order to be at the nursery where she buys most of her plants by 5:30 or 6 am. She picks out her plants and pots, then figures out how to get all of them in her car in a way that they will all fit and also be stable for the drive back.

Willis says Dyad Adornment Co. is for anyone who might want a houseplant, not just people obsessed with plants.

“I get people who come in every week to get their plant addiction fix, but I also get people who bring in their plants because they don’t know what’s wrong with it,” she explained. “I get people who are new to plants too, so I give them care cards so that they have more success keeping their plant alive.”

Dyad Adornment Co. is open Wednesdays through Saturday at Spoken Moto. You can also find Willis’s jewelry among the plants, inside Spoken Moto, at Cosa Cura, Paper Jazz and Faveur. SW

Adults in the Pool

Conquering fears in the water, no matter what age By, KM Collins Bend Park and Recreation District

eing an urbanite from a working-class family, I’ve never had a swim lesson. I was somewhat afraid of water most of my life. I used to think I was the only one—especially in a place as outdoor-centric as Bend. Come to find out, many other adults are also uncomfortable with water.

Milagros Aparicio, client services coordinator for the Latino Community Association, said a float trip gone wrong at age 19 kept her away from the water for over a decade. The combination of slippery rocks and swift water flipped the river tube she was floating on, trapping her head underwater. “I almost drowned, I got traumatized and I never wanted to go back.”

in adult swim classes soon.

“I have always been afraid of the water, and even though I took swim lessons as a child, I never learned to successfully swim,” Billeter explains. “Now that my son is starting his swim lessons in a few weeks, I know that it will be important for me to be able to keep up, too. Growing up in Central Oregon, there are so many things you can do outdoors and around water, and while swimming is not a requirement to enjoy the water, it does make the water activities safer. I want to be able to tell my kiddo he can swim or go boating or rafting and know there are capable swimmers around. Even in pool environments, I want to be able to efficiently save him if something were to go wrong.”

Adult swim instructor for BPRD, Ayla Halberstadt, “I have always been afraid of the water, and even says, “Swimming and water can be intimidating, but as a swim instructor I am passionate about demystifying the though I took swim lessons as a child, I never water and making it an enjoyable and a fun experience for learned to successfully swim.” everyone!”

What’s different about teaching adults, versus the kids —AMBER BILLETER who usually frequent swim classes?

“Something I notice every time I teach adults to swim Aparicio wouldn’t go in past her knee after that—until is the eagerness to learn. They want to better themselves recently, when she discovered adult swim lessons through and become more competent,” Halberstadt says. “Many the Bend Park and Recreation District. come with some fear of the water, and being able to watch “At the beginning they ask what your comfortability lev- them conquer that fear and become more at peace with the el is,” Aparicio says. “I like to hold hands with the instruc- water is one of the most rewarding things.” tor, it helps me feel safe, like I won’t drown.

Hidden Courtyard Dining at a Longtime Mainstay

Jackalope Grill serves up a dessert to test your patriotism

By Lisa Sipe

Bike. Brunch. Cave.

The hidden courtyard inside Jackalope Grill, surrounded by natural greenery, a garden and fairy lights, is a relaxing setting for dinner.

used a little less balsamic dressing, but we sopped up the leftovers with warm, crusty Sparrow Bakery bread.

Because of my Midwest roots, I was drawn to the German Jaeger schnitzel, a staple on the menu since the restaurant’s opening—and a rare dish on Central Oregon menus. When the beige dish arrived, I worried my choice was going to be bland. The portion of breaded, pounded pork was huge and was covered in a tan mushroom sauce. Hidden underneath was a potato pancake, braised red cabbage and broccoli. To my delight, the mushroom sauce was velvety, bright and tangy with the crispy pork. The potato pancake had lots of yummy crispy bits and an unexpected but delightful hint of caraway. The red cabbage was the counterpoint the dish needed to balance all the rich flavors.

With room for dessert, we shared the tiramisu, chocolate pot de creme and the apple tarte tatin. The tiramisu had a great coffee flavor, enhanced by a sprinkle of crunchy espresso bits, but the majority of the dish was the mascarpone

cream. The chocolate pot de creme was good, but honestly, I was distracted by the white paper doily underneath the bowl. Historically, doilies were used during formal dinners to cover a dessert plate when a finger bowl with water was placed on it. Diners would dip their napkin in the finger bowl to clean their hands after dinner. With no finger bowl ritual, the doily was out of place.

The highlight was the tarte tatin, a dessert made like an upside-down cake.

Layers of thinly sliced apples are caramelized in butter and sugar and topped with a puff pastry or pie dough crust.

This is going to sound un-American of me, but the tarte tatin is the best dessert to feature apples—beating an apple pie any day.

With consistently good food, it’s no surprise Jackalope Grill has survived for 13 years. The menu is layered with flavorful classic dishes including rack of lamb, filet mignon, osso bucco and cioppino-style seafood pasta. The cocktails are on point, the happy hour is great and Chef Garling sources locally. SW

Lava tubes are part of Central Oregon’s unique landscape, formed by flowing lava underneath the hardened surface of a lava flow hundreds of thousands of years ago. Pronghorn Resort has a lava tube on its property, so they’re offering a unique bike and brunch experience to explore the mouth of the cave. The adventure starts by choosing your bike rental and grabbing a boxed brunch from Cascada at Pronghorn. When you arrive at the cave you’re greeted with a coffee station and time to explore and eat. Included in the boxed brunch is a breakfast burrito with house-made Italian fennel pork sausage, cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs and pico de gallo with a side of fruit.

urrounded by potted plants, trailing vines and garden boxes overflowing with yellow, orange and red nasturtiums, I sat outside in a private, interior courtyard nestled behind the Jackalope Grill downtown, with string lights dotted above me.

Since 2005, Timothy Garling has been chef and partner at the Jackalope Grill. The European-inspired restaurant with Northwest flair had humble beginnings in the Scandia Plaza strip mall off Third Street. After surviving the recent recession, the restaurant relocated to its current spot downtown on Lava Lane. You can’t miss the entrance: tree branches covered with bright green lichen are woven together to create an archway around double glass doors.

I visited with friends who had dined at Jackalope Grill over the years, in both locations. They arrived a few minutes before 6 pm to score a happy hour cocktail. They ordered the daily $8 bartender’s choice; on that night, a perfectly sweet lemon drop. If you want a cocktail and a bite before 6 pm, the happy hour menu is a great deal, with $5 wines and $6 well cocktails. Combine that with the $4 gnocchi al pomodori “San Marzano” and you have a light, fancy dinner for $10. I’ll definitely be back for that combo. The potato gnocchi was light and fluffy and the tomato butter sauce with asiago and Pecorino Romano cheese was rich and tangy.

Alas, we weren’t there to sit at the bar; we wanted dinner in the courtyard.

Although the patio was rich with foliage, I was thrown off by the plastic folding chairs. Everything else in the restaurant was upscale, so they seemed a little out of place.

We started our meal by sharing the burrata with candy cane beets and arugula. When you cut through burrata, an Italian buffalo milk cheese made from mozzarella and cream, the solid outer shell oozes cheese and cream. It was delicious with the earthy, soft pink beets and peppery arugula. It could have

MICRO Worthy Enough for Downtown Taps & Tacos livens up Brooks Street even more

“We’re also open late [until 11 p.m. all week], so we’re hoping this can be a great place for industry people to go after work and get a good meal and some beer.” —TREVOR COURSEY Unlike Worthy HQ, which features a high-ceilinged restaurant, a massive outdoor space, and an astronomical observatory, Taps & Tacos could almost be termed a hole-in-the-wall, size-wise. Eight Worthy beers are on tap, including the brand-new and eminently smooth Sport Pils. They do a few margaritas and cocktails, too, which go quite well with the seven or so taco styles available, complete with homemade sauces. They’re all good, but the Sea of Cortez might be the best one— fried rock shrimp in a flour tortilla with green cabbage, pepper crema and habanero sauce.

It’s the latest addition to Brooks, which forms an unofficial border between the core of downtown

We are Worthy! New, cozy hotspot serves up tacos and brews.

and Drake Park. “We’re really glad to be on Brooks,” Coursey added, “since all the downtown businesses are really conscious of each other and work together to make it a better place. We’re also open late [until 11 p.m. all week], so we’re hoping this can be a great place for industry people to go after work and get a good meal and some beer.”

Indeed, old school Bendites who remember when Brooks mainly meant empty storefronts and casual drug activity may hardly recognize it nowadays.

Much of this cleanup is the work of David Marchi and the gang at Crow’s Feet Commons, the bike/ski/beer/ music/coffee complex that opened in 2012 and is still one of the prettiest places in Bend to kick back and enjoy the sunset over some Pfriem bottles. The Beach Hut Deli right across the street is good for casual sandwiches; Pine Tavern a block over is better for diners seeking something a bit more substantial, and Bend

Brewing Company speaks for itself.

All great pub crawls end in dives, too, and Brooks Street has visitors covered there with the Wall Street Bar, home to all the pool tables, Oregon Lottery machines and cheap Boneyards. What more could anyone ask for? SW Worthy Taps & Tacos 806 NW Brooks St. #110 541-678-6268 11am-11pm daily

t says something about the density of Bend’s beer scene that not only are there several neighborhoods perfectly suited for craft pub crawls—but in some cases, there’s no need to so much as turn onto a different street at all.

Take Brooks Street downtown, which saw last weekend the grand opening of Worthy Taps & Tacos. In the former location of Mazza Bistro, the space is the second location for Worthy Brewing, which has been HQ’d in its massive east side facility since 2012.

“Being downtown has always been in the plans for us,” says Trevor Coursey, manager of Worthy Taps & Tacos. “The building we’re in has been owned by [Worthy founder] Roger Worthington for a while, and we knew having a presence here would be a big help to people like Ale Trail visitors, who say that our original location is too far to visit. It’ll help spread the word about the east side brewery, too, and everything going on there.”

Bad, the Worse and the Deadly SCREEN The “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” will blow you away

By Jared Rasic CMTG

71 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 27 / July 5, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Benicio Del Toro will make you disappear before you even know it.

W

hen the announcement of a sequel to 2015’s sleeper hit “Sicario” landed last year, the controversy around the screenwriter ditching the lead female character completely overshadowed the novelty that movies for adults could actually make enough money to warrant a follow-up.

Upon the release of “Sicario: Day of the Soldado,” the controversy shifted and became about an ill-timed opening during a moment in which the country is politically divided about immigration, border walls and space forces. Some of the more liberal papers accused “Soldado” of being Trumpkin propaganda that would give conservative outlets even more talking points about sealing borders and celebrating American isolationism.

Sadly, anyone too far left or right probably won’t give

This isn’t propaganda or some thinly veiled exercise in fluffing fascist ideas. the film the chance it deserves, especially since all of the controversy is manufactured and categorically untrue.

“Sicario: Day of the Soldado” focuses on Josh Brolin’s shadowy government operator and Benicio Del Toro’s vengeance-seeking freelance assassin, leaving behind Emily Blunt’s hard-edged optimism for an apolitical amorality.

The entire arc of the first film focuses on Blunt’s rapid disillusionment of America, as she watches Brolin and Del Toro twist the law into whatever they need it to be to achieve the death and destruction of the Mexican drug cartels. Brolin and Del Toro had incomplete arcs, so their inclusion in “Soldado” makes sense. The film feels like the middle chapter in a much larger story about male aggression, political corruption and the tenuous relationship between the U.S. and its southern neighbor.

“Soldado” is advertised as moving its focus from the cartels to terrorism, but that’s really only an excuse for writer Taylor Sheridan to hypothesize about how the U.S. government would act if it could classify the cartels as a terrorist organization. If the film takes any political stance, it’s that dead Americans cost politicians votes, so they’ll break whatever law they have to in order to stay in office. This isn’t propaganda or some thinly veiled exercise in fluffing fascist ideals. Instead, it’s a commentary on the complete lack of morality of men trying to act like the protectors of freedom.

While “Soldado” is missing the elegance of original director Denis Villeneuve and the stunning cinematography of Roger Deakins, there’s an immediacy to the sequel that keeps the entire film a spellbinding masterclass in tension and suspense. The film is brutally violent, but always in service to the question of whether wolves will always bite or whether they can learn to protect the sheep.

There’s no glamorization of Trump’s wall or American exceptionalism or even the violence these men and women commit in the name of “freedom.” If anything, “Soldado” makes a case for Mexican cartels equaling U.S. foreign policy. There are several open ends as the film comes to a close, setting up an epic confrontation between the myriad of players that will make for a phenomenal third and final film. Head into “Soldado” with an open mind and you’ll find a riveting thriller that builds on the original’s themes while expanding into a nail biting and epic narrative. SW

IT’S NOT FAKE NEWS! You make us

years and 18 movies, but we’ve finally made it to the grand finale of the first chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While there are still plenty of laughs and a ton of fun to be had, expect a much darker superhero movie than Marvel normally releases. Easily one of the most epic movies ever made. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DEADPOOL 2: The Merc with the Mouth is back in theaters with enough meta gags to fill a dozen sequels and more violence than “Saving Private Ryan” can shake a stick at. It’s everything you want from a sequel: the stakes are higher, the story is better and the laughs are less juvenile. Ryan Reynolds should keep making these movies forever. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX GAME NIGHT: With a cast featuring Jason

Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Lamorne Morris and Jesse Plemons, it’s really hard to go wrong. Luckily, “Game Night” works as a hilarious comedy and a mystery/thriller in equal measures, making for one of the most entertaining movies of the year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

HEREDITARY: This is one horror movie that absolutely lives up to the hype as it constantly bombards the audience with some of the most nightmarish images ever put to film. Toni Collette plays a woman dealing with grief, either losing her mind or dealing with some extremely evil supernatural shenanigans. You be the judge.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE INCREDIBLES 2: The long-delayed sequel to the animated classic is filled with gorgeous visuals and action sequences which tend to hide the filmmaker’s obvious objectivist leanings. Audiences not trying to find philosophy in their cartoons will be delighted by the groundbreaking “Incredibles 2.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM: The weirdest film in the franchise by far, “Fallen Kingdom” takes the established “Jurassic Park” framework and adds some of the schlockiest ideas since the last “Sharknado” movie. Enjoy the hilarious stupidity. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

MOUNTAIN: A sports documentary focused on the action behind the climbing as opposed to a specific mountain. Featuring ice climbers, free soloists, mountaineers, heli-skiers, snowboarders, wing-suiters and parachuting mountain bikers. Is that enough for you, Bend?!?!?! Tin Pan Theater

SICARIO: Day of the Soldado: A nail-biting

thriller focused on the American government’s attempt to eradicate the Mexican drug cartels as they shift from smuggling drugs to people. With typically excellent performances from Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin, “Soldado” never lets up on the intensity for a single moment. See full review on p 71.

SOLO: Hey look, it’s time for another “Star

SUMMER 1993: A 6-year-old is sent to live

with her uncle after the death of her mother, where she learns some hard truths about life. One of the finest movies from Spain this year. Tin Pan Theater

SWEET COUNTRY: A powerful and shattering look at the current state of life for the Aboriginal people in Australia, as a thriller. Beautifully shot and acted, “Sweet Country” deserves to have as many eyes as possible on its beautiful imagery.

Sisters Movie House

TAG: A surprisingly hilarious and heartwarming

look at a group of friends who’ve been playing the same game of tag for 30 years. With excellent stunts, deft character work and a surplus of belly laughs, “Tag” is a surprisingly great little movie.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

UNCLE DREW: It’s been a while since we’ve

had a good comedy about basketball (although I guess we have a “Space Jam” remake to look forward to), so “Uncle Drew” tries to fit the bill by putting basketball superstars in old age makeup.

Featuring such ballers as Kyrie Irving, Shaquille O’Neal and Chris Webber, “Uncle Drew” might actually be a surprise charmer. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?: It’s about time that we had a movie focused on Mister Rogers and all the good he did the world. This documentary doesn’t really try to find his dark side, but maybe not every documentary needs to dive into heady territory. Instead, it’s a reminder how special the man really was.

Post-Muslim ban approval, six films exploring Middle Eastern culture

By Jared Rasic 73

VOTE Rockin’ Dave’s FOR US!

BISTRO

A

week ago, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld #45’s ban on travel for people from predominantly Muslim countries—even with extreme dissent from the bench, comparing the decision to the detainment of Japanese Americans during WWII. As of early 2018, the odds of being killed by an illegal immigrant terrorist is one in 138,324,873, and by a refugee terrorist, one in 46,192,893. Keep in mind the odds of getting struck by lightning are one in 174,443, and maybe we can see a pattern of fear mongering coming from our nation’s capital.

For those kept up at night with fearful thoughts of terrorism—who may also lack much of a reference point for Muslim culture outside of FOX News or The National Review—here are a few movies featuring Muslim characters, or people from predominantly Muslim countries, that may shed some light.

Wadjda (2013) A heartwarming and crowd pleasing dramedy about a young Saudi girl who enters a Koran recitation competition in order to make enough money to purchase a bicycle with which she has become obsessed. The film is so charming that when it takes a turn into darker territory, it’s more shocking than it should be.

Persepolis (2007) From Marjane Satrapi comes the brilliant animated autobiography about a young woman coming of age during the Iranian Revolution. With a gorgeous story and breathtaking animation, “Persepolis” is a really personal tale that manages to feel universally relevant to anyone searching for their place in the world.

A girl and her bike, a man and his dream and a picture of peace.

The Hidden Half (2001) One of the most blisteringly feminist films ever made comes from director Tahmineh Milani, whose films mostly focus on women’s rights in Iran. “The Hidden Half” actually managed to land her in jail for two weeks when she was accused of supporting counterrevolutionaries. This film also focuses on the Iranian Revolution, but from the point of view of the revolutionaries.

The Message (1976) Moustapha Al Akkad (producer of the “Halloween” franchise) funded a Hollywood biopic of the Prophet Muhammad and the beginnings of Islam. The fact that he did this in 1976 is basically unheard of, and with financing from the governments of Libya, Morocco and Kuwait, they had the budget and time to build massive reproductions of Mecca and Medina. This is still considered the most ambitious Middle Eastern film in history.

AmericanEast (2008) Mustafa is an Egyptian immigrant who runs a falafel shop in Los Angeles and is dealing with harassment from the FBI, a teenage son who doesn’t want to be a Muslim anymore and a potential partner in a new restaurant who is also Jewish. “AmericanEast” is an uncompromising look at the American dream through the eyes of the marginalized and the feared. A mustsee for anyone searching for the perfect distillation of the legend of an immigrant.

Baran (2001) A powerful romance set in Tehran in which a young Turkish man picks on an illegal Afghan worker until he finds out that the other young man is secretly a girl named Baran. What at first seems like a searingly personal look at forbidden love also functions as a powerful meditation on systemic racism and imaginary differences. SW

urrently, I am 10 days deep. My first time in a whitewater kayak was last year in an early season Brace & Roll class. I was totally out of my league.

This year, I’ve taken three “Full Immersions,”—the intro to whitewater kayaking weekend classes offered by Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe—and one day of private training, and I’m feeling like hot sh**.

I’ve got my rudder stroke on lock.

I’ve dialed in the form for my forward stroke; torso rotation is coming along with the stern draw and I am looking fairly solid on catching eddies. There’s only one problem: I can’t roll.

SLACKLINE KM Collins trying for a kayak roll at Juniper Swim and Fitness. More often she perfects her underwater ugly cry wet exit face. Kind of like resting bi*ch face but with equal parts panic, terror and stoic disappointment.

involuntary underwater ugly cry, multiplied by a million.

On my first enrollment in Full Immersion, during the second day of training, just below Bend’s Bill Healy Bridge, my instructor Will Howerton offered to partner up with me to practice the T rescue.

If you can’t roll, the T rescue is an alternative. While you’re upside down, a kayak buddy pushes into the side of your boat with the bow of their kayak.

The downed kayaker can self-arrest by

When I get underwater upside down, I lose it. I totally panic. I immediately believe that I’m breathing in water and going to drown.

The critical nature of the roll cannot be overstated. Rolling is what a kayaker does when upright balance is forfeited. One common scenario: the kayak catches an edge and in no time is upside down.

There are precise steps involved in learning to roll. Once you’re fully immersed in the river, hanging upside down from the kayak, you bend at the waist and tuck forward. This way, as the kayak is still moving with the river, your helmet should catch any rocks you inadvertently bump. Then, you place your paddle parallel to your boat, use it to brace while performing a hip snap, and up you pop like a surfacing rubber ducky. Sounds simple, right?

When I get underwater upside down, I lose it. I totally panic. I immediately believe that I’m breathing in water and going to drown. I thrash and twist and arch my back, flailing backwards so as not to protect my head in the recommended forward tuck. It’s like an

reaching up out of the water and grabbing the nose of the buddy’s boat and then righting themselves. My problem is, once I am submerged, I don’t know where right and left is or how to grab anything.

I also wholeheartedly dread the painful nasal flush which plagues me like a forced natural neti pot (or waterboarding) anytime I go underwater.

When Howerton tried to practice the T rescue with me in 4 feet of still water, I pulled my spray skirt before I could even try. I emerged with water clearing from all my head’s orifices and a grimace of death we now call the “Wet Hello Kitty” face. It isn’t a good look.

Pulling your spray skirt or the wet exit is what greenhorns do to get out of their kayaks. It’s a failsafe and meant as a last-ditch resort. When you swim as a result, it’s never a proud moment. To recap, at this point I am not even close to rolling or performing a T rescue and usually I mess up the wet exit, too.

To properly perform a wet exit, one should bend at the waist, reach forward, grab the large loop at the head of the cockpit on your spray skirt, pull and push the kayak away from the body. It’s quite graceful when rightly executed.

On the second day of the first Full Immersion, on the Lower Deschutes between Buckhollow and Beavertail, I get excited. However, with the timing I chose, I think the ejection could almost be called a dry exit. My buddy Jeff Michael was running sweep for the class in the eddy above Wreck Rapid when he witnessed my dry exit. He said I made it through the meat of the toughest rapid and then, as I lost balance coming into the eddy, I pulled my skirt while still upright. He said it happened so fast, he could see my knees come out of the boat before I capsized.

Rookie move.

Although Michael wasn’t there to attest, during the second class, I wet exited at the same location on Wreck Rapid. I was still in the current and fully submerged before I thrashed my way out of the cockpit in the most hideous fashion. I then hopped on my overturned kayak like a kickboard and worked it to shore. A small win: I didn’t jump out of the boat while upright.

Like Kanye says in the 2011 smash track “Ni**as in Paris,” “Look, you need to crawl ‘fore you ball.” Although it seems Kanye is referencing sex acts with strangers, I have found it to be a solid mantra in my whitewater kayaking baby steps (or strokes, rather).

Natural World

The beetle with headlights

By Jim Anderson we discovered it didn’t just have bioluminescence going for it. Like other click beetles, it also could produce sound, go into an instant clicking leap of about 8 inches, and had wings with which to fly. What a beetle. What a sensational insect!

No, you can not call it a “bug!” A “bug” is another special insect, but not a beetle. Bugs and beetles are the apples and oranges of the insect world. If you want to see a bugthat-is-a-bug, wait til you come into contact with the giant water bug that lives in the depths of Suttle Lake. Now, that’s a bug!

And then there’s that beetle that lights up on its own.

How and why insects got into the light production business is beyond me. Our old pal Charles Darwin mentions bioluminescence not in land organisms, but in the sea while on his voyage on the boat, the HMS Beagle: “While sailing in these latitudes on one very dark night, the sea presented a wonderful and most beautiful spectacle. There was a fresh breeze, and every part of the surface, which during the day is seen as foam, now glowed with a pale light. The vessel drove before her bows two billows of liquid phosphorus, and in her wake she was followed by a milky train. As far as the eye reached, the crest of every wave was bright, and the sky above the horizon, from the reflected glare of these livid flames, was not so utterly obscure, as over the rest of the heavens.”

I had a similar experience back in the late ‘40s while in the Navy serving on the minesweeper, USS PCS 1384, patrolling the Straits of Florida for Russian submarines. My job was to keep the machinery running on that sweet little vessel, and one night while getting off watch in the engine room, I came out on deck on a night filled with stars. The sea was calm, so I went over and leaned on the gunwale to enjoy the night sky. As I put my weight on my forearms I began to notice a glow in the sea. Suddenly, a submarine surfaced about 50 yards off the port side.

I stood there transfixed, watching the glowing sea swishing about as the conning tower of a submarine split the sea around it. Then a hatch popped open and a man pinned me in a powerful light, shouted in a language I couldn’t understand, gave a big laugh, dropped the hatch and the sub disappeared beneath the waves, stirring the

t was a young and eager naturalist in Sierra Vista, Ariz., Leonard Taylor, who brought this bioluminescent click beetle into my life, on a night I’ll never forget.

My wife, Sue and I were running Ramsey Canyon Preserve, just outside of Sierra Vista, Ariz. in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Ramsey, in those glorious days, was known as The Hummingbird Capital of the U.S., and for a good reason. People from all over the world came there to glory in the hummers.

The more serious birders—those who kept a Life List of the birds they knew—came there ostensibly to see a particular hummingbird, the Berylline, along with the ho-hum, beautiful blue-throated, gorgeous Magnificent (now known as a Rivoli’s hummingbird), and 13 others. The Berylline was known to nest in only two locations in Arizona: Ramsey and the Southwest Research Station.

No one ever mentioned a lighted click beetle, and what a shame so many visitors missed it. But I’ll tell ya, no one missed it after Taylor showed it to me.

His phone call came just as I as sitting down to a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream. Now, there’s not very much that will get me to leave a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream—especially Umpqua Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, but it wasn’t Umpqua’s that Taylor interrupted. I couldn’t have turned him down anyway; the excitement in his voice as he described what he was looking at would have gotten me off my death bed.

“Jim!” he shouted. “You won’t believe what’s on my rose bushes! It looks like a click beetle with two glowing eyes on its thorax!” That did it. I dropped my spoon, grabbed up my camera, jumped in my old VW camper and headed down the road to Taylor’s house, just below the preserve.

As I stepped out the VW, Taylor grabbed my arm and led me right to the beautiful beetle with its glowing thorax.

And you know? I think that was the beginning of something for Taylor, too, He went on to introduce people to the beautiful Huachuca Mountains towering behind his home by writing a beautiful hiking guide to southeast Arizona that includes maps for Bisbee, Benson, Sierra Vista, Tombstone, Fort Huachuca, Ramsey Canyon, San Pedro River, Kartcher Caverns, Dragoon Mountains, the Huachuca Mountains and more.

As we stood, almost reverently, watching the beetle,

glowing sea as she went down.

In the words of Wikipedia: Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism, a form of chemiluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine life, as well as in some fungi, microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria and terrestrial invertebrates such as fireflies. In some animals, the light is bacteriogenic, produced by symbiotic organisms such as Vibro bacteria; in others, it is autogenic, produced by the animals themselves.

As far as I know, there are no lighted click beetles or fireflies in the Sisters Country, or anywhere else in Oregon for that matter, but there may be some kind of animal or fungi that lights up, so, if you have the time and the kids to lead you out of the house to look for glowing animals, please take the time to do so. I’ve never seen a glow worm, firefly, lighted click beetle or any insect glowing in the dark here, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any.

If you discover something glowing in the dark, please, please send me an email! jimaturalist@gmail.com. SW

I got ghosted—dumped by a guy who just disappeared on me, no explanation— after three months of lovey-dovey dating. Clearly, he isn’t a great person, yet I’m unable to stop thinking about him and wondering why he left. How do I accept that it’s over so I can start dating again?

—Plagued It’s hard on the ego to learn why somebody’s leaving you, but it beats needing a Ouija board.

It’s the mystery that’s causing the problem. Typically, when rotten things happen to us, our feel-bad emotions (like anger and sadness) rise up—driving us to take a wiser course of action the next time so we’ll keep those bad feelings from popping by again: “Wassup? Got any beer?”

Knowing the wiser course starts with knowing what to avoid. But all you’ve got is a terrible itch—the itch of uncertainty about why this guy vanished—and little hope of yanking him in to give you answers: “Wanted/ Reward—ex-boyfriend who ghosted me, last seen on 3/11/2018 carrying the remains of my dignity in a green reusable bag.”

However, you can probably dupe your mind into believing it has the answer.

Research by cognitive neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga suggests our mind is quick to create stories to fill in and make sense out of incomplete information—and then we tend to go right ahead and believe our stories. To take advantage of this, imagine a possible reason the guy vamoosed on you—and then just decide to accept it as THE reason.

What might also help is transforming your thoughts of the guy into a material object—a piece of garbage, in fact—and throwing it away. And yes, I get that this sounds absurd, but there’s a growing area of social science research—embodied cognition—that finds taking action is a highly efficient way to change our feelings. Accordingly, social psychologist Pablo Brinol had research participants write a negative thought on a piece of paper and then rip the paper up and throw it into a nearby trash can. This actually led to participants “mentally disposing” of their disturbing thinking to a great degree.

Should the guy sneak back into your thoughts, don’t worry; just widen the shot.

Shift your focus from him to yourself—looking at how you maybe crossed your fingers that you had a keeper instead of seeing whether that actually was the case. Understanding what you should do differently is the first step

toward expanding the male companionship in your life—amusing as it can be to spend your nights watching your current partner get loaded on catnip and try to make sweet love to your throw pillows.

Fappy Gilmore My husband and I are both 70, and we have a good, satisfying sex life. I found out recently that he masturbates now and then. I was puzzled and hurt, but he said he just doesn’t want to bother me all the time. Should I be worried that he’s masturbating?

—In The Dark You really want your husband to hit you up for some sex whenever the urge strikes him?

Imagine the call: “Hi, honey…I’m in the golf course bathroom. How quickly can you get down here?”

As long as your husband isn’t ditching sex with you for his knuckle-love sessions, his masturbating isn’t something you should take personally. People masturbate because they’re bored, they’re tense, they can’t sleep, or their phone needs to recharge before they can continue their Facebook flame war over whether “Saved by the Bell” was a vehicle for the Illuminati.

Also, there are times when a person just wants to get off solo—maybe because they’re short on time and maybe because they’re low on emotional energy (and their hand doesn’t get miffy if they don’t cuddle it afterward and tell it it’s beautiful).

Still, maybe you’re thinking, “Well, why can’t he just wait till I’m around?” And it’s understandable that you’d think that—maybe because you’re just fine with waiting. And if you are, that may be because you’re a woman. It turns out that there are sex differences in sexual desire.

Social psychologist Roy Baumeister and his colleagues, surveying piles of studies, explain that men tend to have a far stronger sex drive, with “more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women.” That’s surely why it’s primarily men (and probably single men) who show up in emergency rooms with embarrassing sex-for-one-related injuries—like wiener-in-the-vacuum-cleaner lacerations. (Since penis-in-vagina sex is fun, why not penis-in-the-Shop-Vac?!)

So, back to your question: Should you be worried that he’s masturbating? No, you should be celebrating! Bake his penis a cake!

(That’s what we do for people who are still alive at 70. Why not for their sex parts?)

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny CANCER (June 21-July 22): An open letter to

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The ghost orchid is a rare white wildflower that disappeared from the British countryside around 1986. The nation’s botanists declared it officially extinct in 2005. But four years later, a tenacious amateur located a specimen growing in the West Midlands area. The species wasn’t gone forever, after all. I foresee a comparable revival for you in the coming weeks, Leo. An interesting influence or sweet thing that you imagined to be permanently defunct may return to your life. Be alert!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): The ancient Greek

itude, innocence, and awe, would you quickly blank it out of your mind and check your Instagram and Twitter accounts on your phone?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical working couple devotes an average of four minutes per day to focused conversation with each other.

And it’s common for a child and parent to engage in meaningful communication for just 20 minutes per week. I bring these sad facts to your attention, Capricorn, because I want to make sure you don’t embody them in the coming weeks. If you hope to attract the best of life’s blessings, you will need to give extra time and energy to the fine art of communing with those you care about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Allergies, irritants, stings, hypersensitivities: sometimes you can make these annoyances work in your behalf.

For example, my allergy to freshly-cut grass meant that when I was a teenager, I never had to waste my Saturday afternoons mowing the lawn in front of my family’s suburban home. And the weird itching that plagued me whenever I got into the vicinity of my first sister’s fiancé: If I had paid attention to it, I wouldn’t have lent him the $350 that he never repaid. So my advice, my itchy friend, is to be thankful for the twitch and the prickle and the pinch. In the coming days, they may offer you tips and clues that could prove valuable.

PISCES 19-March

20):

Are you somehow growing younger? Your stride seems bouncier and your voice sounds more buoyant. Your thoughts seem fresher and your eyes brighter. I won’t be surprised if you buy yourself new toys or jump in mud puddles. What’s going on? Here’s my guess: you’re no longer willing to sleepwalk your way through the most boring things about being an adult. You may also be ready to wean yourself from certain responsibilities unless you can render them pleasurable at least some of the time. I hope so. It’s time to bring more fun and games into your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there any prize

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Twentieth-cen-

more precious than knowing your calling? Can any other satisfaction compare with the joy of understanding why you’re here on earth? In my view, it’s the supreme blessing: to have discovered the tasks that can ceaselessly educate and impassion you; to do the work or play that enables you to offer your best gifts; to be intimately engaged with an activity that consistently asks you to overcome your limitations and grow into a more complete version of yourself. For some people, their calling is a job: marine biologist, kindergarten teacher, advocate for the homeless. For others, it’s a hobby, like long-distance-running, bird-watching, or mountain-climbing. St. Therese of Lisieux said, “My calling is love!” Poet Marina Tsvetaeva said her calling was “To listen to my soul.” Do you know yours, Libra? Now is an excellent time to either discover yours or home in further on its precise nature.

tury French novelist Marcel Proust described nineteenth-century novelist Gustave Flaubert as a *trottoire roulant*, or “rolling sidewalk”: plodding, toneless, droning. Meanwhile, critic Roger Shattuck compared Proust’s writing to an “electric generator” from which flows a “powerful current always ready to shock not only our morality but our very sense of humanity.” In the coming weeks, I encourage you to find a middle ground between Flaubert and Proust. See if you can be moderately exciting, gently provocative, and amiably enchanting. My analysis of the cosmic rhythms suggests that such an approach is likely to produce the best long-term results.

tained any high-quality fantasies about faraway treasures lately? Have you delivered inquiring communiqués to any promising beauties who may ultimately offer you treats? Have you made long-distance inquiries about speculative possibilities that could be inclined to travel in your direction from their frontier sanctuaries? Would you consider making some subtle change in yourself so that you’re no longer forcing the call of the wild to wait and wait and wait?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If a downto-earth spiritual teacher advised you to go on a five-day meditation retreat in a sacred sanctuary, would you instead spend five days carousing with meth addicts in a cheap hotel? If a close friend confessed a secret she had concealed from everyone for years, would you unleash a nervous laugh and change the subject? If you read a horoscope that told you now is a favorable time to cultivate massive amounts of reverence, devotion, respect, grat-

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You remind me of Jack, the nine-year-old Taurus kid next door, who took up skateboarding on the huge trampoline his two moms put in their backyard. Like him, you seem eager to travel in two different modes at the same time. (And I’m glad to see you’re being safe; you’re not doing the equivalent of, say, having sex in a car or breakdancing on an escalator.) When Jack first began, he had difficulty in coordinating the bouncing with the rolling. But after a while he got good at it. I expect that you, too, will master your complex task.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): From the day you were born, you have been cultivating a knack for mixing and blending. Along the way, you have accomplished mergers that would have been impossible for a lot of other people. Some of your experiments in amalgamation are legendary. If my astrological assessments are accurate, the year 2019 will bring forth some of your all-time most marvelous combinations and unifications. I expect you are even now setting the stage for those future fusions; you are building the foundations that will make them natural and inevitable. What can you do in the coming weeks to further that preparation?

(Feb.

poet Sappho described “a sweet-apple turning red high on the tip of the topmost branch.” The apple pickers left it there, she suggested, but not because they missed seeing it. It was just too high.

“They couldn’t reach it,” wrote Sappho. Let’s use this scenario as a handy metaphor for your current situation, Virgo. I am assigning you the task of doing whatever is necessary to fetch that glorious, seemingly unobtainable sweet-apple. It may not be easy. You’ll probably need to summon extra ingenuity to reach it, as well as some as-yet unguessed form of help.

Cancerians from Rob Brezsny’s mother, Felice: I want you to know that I played a big role in helping my Cancerian son become the empathetic, creative, thoughtful, crazy character he is today. I nurtured his idiosyncrasies. I made him feel secure and wellloved. My care freed him to develop his unusual ideas and life. So as you read Rob’s horoscopes, remember that there’s part of me inside him. And that part of me is nurturing you just as I once nurtured him. I and he are giving you love for the quirky, distinctive person you actually are, not some fantasy version of you. I and he are helping you feel more secure and well-appreciated. Now I encourage you to cash in on all that support. As Rob has told me, it’s time for you Cancerians to reach new heights in your drive to express your unique self.

ummer is here, so it’s time for a fun, frothy column to read while sipping a tropical beverage by the pool, or on the beach No, not really. It’s about cannabis and depression.

“Depression” is not to be confused with how you feel because you lost your stash of bubble hash, someone stole your nearly-ready-for-harvest plants, or you just dropped your $13,500 hand blown glass quad sherlock GOT “White Widow Walker” bong. Those all suck, but we aren’t talking about just being “bummed.”

As defined: “The persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest that characterizes major depression can lead to a range of behavioral and physical symptoms... changes in sleep, appetite, energy level, concentration, daily behavior, or self-esteem. Depression can also be associated with thoughts of suicide.”

Suicide has been in the news all too frequently recently, from the sudden, shocking losses of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stat showing a 25 percent increase in suicides between 1999 and 2016, with Oregon seeing a 28.2 percent increase.

From 1999 to 2014, antidepressant use went up 65 percent and by 2014, nearly one in eight Americans age 12 or older had recently used an antidepressant. No, it’s not just you; we are not a happy country.

But as medical and recreational cannabis programs have led to expanded safe access, better education and adventures in self-medication, some people using antidepressants, and those seeking another path, are selecting cannabis.

One Canadian study showed 63 percent of patients reported using medical marijuana as a substitute for prescription drugs such as opioids, sedatives and antidepressants.

Finding a particular cannabis strain to deal with depression is overwhelming.

There are more varieties on shelves than ever, and it’s both a daunting and expensive task to try a dozen different flowers.

(Or, my ideal weekend.)

To start, consider going beyond solely alleviating your depression, and seeking cannabis that helps with other conditions for which you are taking prescription medications. The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study this month concluding that one third of us take medications

linked to feelings of depression in users, as a side effect or interaction. They found users of over 200 common drugs, for things including treating acid reflux, high blood pressure, anxiety, beta blockers, pain (including ibuprofen), high blood pressure and anticonvulsant medications, are more likely to be depressed, and those taking three canstockphoto.com of the drugs were three times as likely to be depressed. If you can find a cannabis replacement, you may be removing a potential cause of your depression.

When seeking specific relief from depression, start with what’s in the flower, and not what it’s named (or commonly misnamed), by looking for terpenes, not just THC count. Seek out strains or products with high levels of beta caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) and limonene. Beta caryophyllene imparts a stimulating, uplifting effect, while limonene has a citrusy scent and taste, with mood-boosting properties.

“Uplifting” is frequently attributed to sativa strains, and limonene is most often found in sativa-dominant strains such as Tangie Dream, Super Lemon Haze and Durban Poison. Beta caryophyllene has a spicy, pepperish nose, and is often found in strains including OG Kush, Skywalker Kush and Sour Diesel.

Bear in mind that strains recommended for anxiety are often dominant in terpenes that bring on a couch-locking, firing squad effect on motivation, which, while great for relaxation, may not be best for depression where motivation is in short supply.

CBD is often sought out for its non-psychotropic effects, but works best for many when introduced into the system with at least a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC. Cannabis Educator Sara Payan writes: “More balanced ratios (between 1:1 and 1:4) often are helpful for depression, while larger ratios (18:1 and higher) are exceptionally useful for anxiety and anxiety-causing disorders such as OCD [Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder]....(and) large amounts of high-ratio CBD can act as a depressant.”

Cannabis is a tool, but it’s not the only one. If you’re feeling depressed, reach out and know you aren’t alone.
