OPINION

What is ecotourism, anyway, and can Bend accomplish it?

L

ike any story that delves into the complexity of living in a tourist town that gets a lot of attention—and many subsequent transplants—last week’s story, “Unsolicited Accolades” elicited a lot of commentary. Following “Outside” magazine’s designation of Bend as the “Best Multisport Town” in the United States, we sought to ask locals what they thought.

Among the comments we received on the story, some stood out: Doug Cristafir said: “I do believe Bend can pull it off in actually morphing into something new and better version of a tourist planet...we have the creative class to do it, but so far not the political imagination to pull it off.

I hear visitors all the time wishing they could find a way to live here as they drool at the lifestyle.”

Laurel Brauns said: “Ecotourism is a beautiful movement that insists that tourism benefit the local people and the environment, instead of allowing the place to fall victim to the forces of capitalism. The problem is, this requires a lot more work and intentional planning and decision-making than our egregiously underpaid City Council has time for.”

Our current city leaders maintain that there’s little to be done to stop a tourist influx. Indeed, as Visit Bend’s Kevney Dugan pointed out in the article, most of the tourists who come here don’t find out about Bend through a magazine article; they find out from their family members and through word of mouth. Visit Bend takes a lot of flack for being the agency responsible for marketing our region to the world, but at the end of the day, they’re a marketing agency, not responsible for the decision-making about how our city is run.

So who is responsible? City leaders, of course—and it’s strong leadership that could help ease the ongoing tension between residents and the people whose

job it is to market our region to visitors.

Take Brauns’ suggestion about ecotourism. What is ecotourism, anyway?

The International Ecotourism Society’s Principles of Ecotourism include the following tenets: • Minimize physical, social, behavioral, and psychological impacts.

• Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect.

• Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.

• Provide direct financial benefits for conservation.

• Generate financial benefits for both local people and private industry.

• Deliver memorable interpretative experiences to visitors that help raise sensitivity to host countries’ political, environmental, and social climates.

• Design, construct and operate low-impact facilities.

• Recognize the rights and spiritual beliefs of the Indigenous People in your community and work in partnership with them to create empowerment.

How are we doing on these, Bend?

Are we minimizing social impacts? Are we providing positive experiences for both visitors and hosts? While the agency tasked with promoting Bend has some role in these missives, it’s ultimately a city leader’s job to recognize these challenges and to create a vision for how to address them.

Bend is and will continue to be a place that people visit and fall in love with.

The weather and the scenery are going to bring people here, marketing or magazine stories or not. But what we do to manage that and make it positive for “both visitors and hosts” is always the perennial question. To answer it, let’s start by changing the city charter to allow for a directly-elected mayor who can lead the movement. SW

Let’s leave them that way.

IN RESPONSE TO, UNSOLICITED ACCOLADES (7 /8) Our community created a Frankenstein with the misguided belief during the Great Recession that tourism was going to somehow “save” the town. It turned around and killed our brothers, desiccated our close-in neighborhoods, and yet still insisted we love it and created a female version of it in the form of cultural and shoulder season tourism marketing.

As with any great allegory there are winners and losers and maybe the proclaimed “300 days of sunshine” is going to our heads, because the media and the city government tends to favor the positive tales, this “runner to riches” story about Picky Bars co-founder Jesse Thomas is no exception.

We needed only to turn back the pages of history and read about the fate of dozens of other western mountain towns hollowed out by tourism to grasp the direction we were headed, but drunk on money and power, we plowed forward, dumbstruck and silent as the real estate and building industries reaped the biggest rewards, while those interested in maintaining some semblance of sustainability and community in Bend were touted as anti-growth and isolationist.

We are not powerless, and we don’t have to let this Frankenstein haunt our remaining days. Ecotourism is a beautiful movement that insists that tourism benefit the local people and the environment, instead of allowing the place to fall victim to the forces of capitalism. The problem is, this requires a lot more work and intentional planning and decision-making than our egregiously underpaid City Council has time for.

IN RESPONSE TO, 1ST WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE BEND! (7/8) This event has NOTHING to do with clean air or whatever crap you’re trying to spin!!!! It’s live porn!!!

— Michelle Wheeler, via bendsource.com I wish that people would quit moving to Central Oregon (a traditionally conservative area) from the big cities and California because they “love it here”, only to turn right around and try to turn it into the place they came from. If you don’t like the way Central Oregon is, then don’t move here.

We locals happen to like the way it is. If we didn’t, we’d move to California.

— Christine Alford, via bendsource.com This has nothing to do with pornography or sex and everything to do with freedom of expression. If you don’t want to participate, then don’t. But what you’re projecting into this says more about your dirty mind than anything else. The human body is a beautiful thing and should be celebrated. Simply being unclothed is not equivalent to sex.

Remember...it’s not all about YOU. — Victor Johnson, via bendsource.com Nudity = Pornography? Man, your parents really messed you all up. Astounding you made it to your keyboard to type that nonsense under the crippling weight of your shame. Probably best if you avoid the event by staying in and scrubbing all that sin off your dirty filthy bodies. Just make sure you avoid eye contact with the mirror on your way to the shower as we all wouldn’t want you to get aroused.

— Jacob Z., via bendsource.com My concern is for people who have experienced trauma and are going to be caught off guard by this. I have to walk through this to get to work tonight and in all honesty, it makes me uncomfortable too. The human body is not shameful but neither is having boundaries and respecting others limits.

— Kathy Denfeld, via bendsource.com

Good lord, are we living in the dark ages? I am absolutely amazed at how many prudes are commenting. Such a level of close-mindedness is an embarrassment to my town.

There’s nothing sexual about this. It’s human bodies, get over it, everybody has one.

Nudity is legal in Oregon and has been for a long time. You are 100 percent able to legally walk down the street completely nude.

For those of you getting your panties in an uproar over this, chill out. It’s no big deal. And if you don’t like it don’t go.

— David Hart, via bendsource.com Is anyone working on petitioning to change Bend’s law? If so, please let me know. I would like to help prevent this from occurring annually. I agree with the right to protest, but exposing yourself publicly is obscene and ridiculous.

— A. Robles, via bendsource.com Lighten up people. There are plenty of things to do in Bend if this is not your flavor. It strikes me as silly fun that may or may not draw attention to the global “issue” the group talks about. Personally, I find the way this bike ride is revealing Bend’s cache of narrow minds steeped in Victorian-era morality much more illuminating.

— Patty Davis, via bendsource.com Public nudity is against the law isn’t it?

The extreme left will continue to drag the Democrat party into the mud and will continue to lose elections. It’s too bad the lunatics have destroyed this party.

— Burt James, via bendsource.com This is clearly nothing more than pornography and everyone who is involved should be arrested and go to jail. This is protesting nothing, it’s a way to try and get everyone to be ok with this crap and it’s not ok. No one needs to see this. This is very offensive and should be treated and dealt with as strongly or worse than sex offenders. Really what’s the difference? Little kids forced to possibly come into contact with this garbage and no fault of their own. This is an outage and should not be tolerated period. Not even once. Arrest them all, convict them as sex offenders and make them do lifetime registry.

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Lief: Looks like you opened a can of worms with this event—hope to see you back next year!

For the naysayers, check out the language of ORS 163.465: “A person commits the crime of public indecency if while in, or in view of, a public place the person performs: (a) An act of sexual intercourse; (b) An act of deviate sexual intercourse; or (c) An act of exposing the genitals of the person with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of the person or another person.”

So now you know: Simply being naked is not a crime in Oregon. And if you actually saw the event, then you probably already know that most people wear bottoms on rides like this.

It’s way more comfortable that way...

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 28 / July 13, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

In our “Unsolicited Accolades” (7/5) feature last week, we incorrectly attributed Bend Park and Recreation District (BPRD) as having created 150 trails in the Deschutes National Forest. BPRD created 65 miles worth of trails in the Bend area, whereas the Deschutes National Forest is responsible for 150 miles in the greater area. We regret the error.

5 of this year, Bill Valentine, the guy who “famously” predicted the real estate crash a decade ago, cockily proclaims to a room full of titillated real estate agents that there will never be affordable housing in Bend, and that prices are headed towards Aspen-levels during the course of the next decade due to the portability of jobs, and the financial choices available to the newly retired.

And he’s right, there won’t be affordable or sustainable housing, if we let people like him and the real estate vultures that he addresses, dictate our community’s future as an inevitability.

Chloe Moe I think Fourth of July has always been a crazy holiday, especially lately with Trump being our president. I think Americans are just kind of going insane right now, but also a lot of tourists come to this town during that time so I think that has a lot to do with making it crazy. I don’t necessarily know what we could do to change that, Bend is such a pretty place. Alcohol is advertised everywhere here so that definitely doesn’t help. The Freedom Ride is a drunk, public bike ride for everyone. My friend was hit by a car on the fourth and almost passed away from it. She wasn’t hit by a drunk driver though, she was actually drunk on a bike. It’s so hard with all the breweries around here.

I think it’s just a sign of all the people in town. Out of control is a little relative. They have noise ordinances and all that stuff already, I think you just have to roll with the punches of a growing town.

Sarah Compton They don’t seem out of control to me — but we stayed in our neighborhood and then watched Pilot Butte fireworks from our bedroom. We came from North Carolina and there were a lot less illegal fireworks here, at least that’s what it seemed like. The noise was better, my children all fell asleep well before nine o’clock.

Thomas Comerford We live just down the river across from the park and the only thing I’ve seen is a lot of fireworks. Firecrackers and cherry bombs, very loud explosions that extend way past midnight. We have a dog who trembles pretty much the whole evening so it would be nice if something would be done to limit the illegal fireworks. I’m not sure what a solution is, but it’s a real problem.

Olivia O’Shaughnessy I feel that specific activities such as the Freedom Ride have become more popular so they haven’t necessarily become out of control, but just much more populated. A possible solution to the problem could be more police force watching the events to keep people safer.

Elizabeth Schniepp I’ve lived in Bend about 15 years. The festivities have definitely gotten bigger, I don’t know if I’d call it out of hand. They’ve gotten bigger than they were, but I think it has been alright so far.

That’s a Wrap

The Oregon Legislature ends its regular session—without passing a revenue-creating bill that would have changed the rules for taxation on some Oregon businesses

By Judy Stiegler Kristi Simmons

After passing out of the House Revenue Committee, HB 2060 A narrowly passed out of the House to the Senate by a vote of 31 in favor and 28 opposed on June 23. The bill did not get this far without opposition, and the close vote was indicative of the concern about the potential impact on small busi-

Once the House passed the bill the alarm bells went off from these organizations and others, for fear that the bill might have real momentum. ness. The primary changes would have limited eligible businesses to specific types and increased the requisite number of non-owner employees from one to 10. These changes came through an amendment to the original bill which was introduced by the Speaker of the House, Tina Kotek.

The motivation behind this legislation was the revenue deficit facing the Legislature this session. The Legislative Revenue Office estimated that during the 2017-2019 biennium, the changes could result in an additional $196 million coming into the state.

Information provided by the Oregon Legislative Revenue Office also showed that in 2015, the rate had been used by approximately 13,000 taxpayers, costing a loss of nearly $70 million in revenue for the state.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 28 / July 13, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he 2017 Oregon Legislative Session came to an end on July 7.

With adjournment, literally hundreds of pieces of legislation were left on the floor, so to speak. Some bills never found their way out of committee, others made it out and were voted on by one chamber of the legislature, passed to the other chamber where they received no further action, and, in the vernacular of the Legislature, died.

There were nearly 3,000 bills introduced this session with only a small percentage of those ultimately becoming law. This process repeats itself session after session, with winners and losers each time.

What determines which bills succeed and which bills don’t? A variety of factors play into it, not the least of which is the input and participation of citizens, organizations and groups of people throughout the state. One example of a piece of legislation which failed to get across the finish line, despite significant push from individuals and members of the legislative body itself (including the Speaker of the House), is House Bill 2060 A. HB 2060 A would have limited the eligibility for a business to use what is referred to as a PTE (pass-thru entity) tax rate. The PTE was created in the 2013 special session and gave certain businesses the option of having the income from those entities taxed at a lower marginal rate. The goal was to provide a more favorable tax structure for certain types of businesses, generally in the category of a small busi-

nesses in particular. The Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), Oregon Dairy Farmers and the Oregon Farm Bureau were among those in opposition, making a case for maintaining the 2013 law as-is. Once the House passed the bill the alarm bells went off from these organizations and others, for fear that the bill might have real momentum.

Locally, the Bend Chamber of Commerce sent out a “Legislative Alert” on June 27 to its members, seeking their help in asking state senators to oppose further progress on this legislation.

Jamie Christman, vice president for community affairs at the Bend Chamber, told me that the primary objective was to underscore that the voice of individual members of the business

community does matter.

Christman said she had heard both directly and anecdotally that several members had contacted senator’s offices. I asked if she felt these efforts had been effective. She indicated that it didn’t appear that the bill was moving, so she saw it as proof that member efforts were worth it—that by collectively taking this active step, they had a voice. My conversation with Christman took place several hours before the Legislature adjourned the 2017 session. At that point, HB 2060 A remained where it had been since passing out of the House—on the Senate President’s desk awaiting referral. The bill died without any action in the Senate.

For those both in and out of the Legislature who supported HB 2060 A, this likely plays as a loss. For those opposed, a win. The truth is that whether the efforts are viewed as a win or a loss, legislation can always be brought back to life in another session to live another day. Perhaps the real lesson to be learned is that voices can make a difference.

Stoopid Summer

Slightly Stoopid embodies the sounds of summer, making for a party that’s anything but stupid

By Anne Pick

Anders Junger

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 28 / July 13, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Miles Doughty and Slightly Stoopid crank up the energy for another summer of headlining shows.

S

ome bands are engineered for summertime and outdoor amphitheaters—and this is one of them. It’s hard to imagine seeing Slightly Stoopid inside when their surf-rock-meetsreggae-meets-hip-hop sound has that built-in summer party vibe. It’s no wonder the band kicks off its 11th year headlining venues such as the Les Schwab Amphitheater.

“It’s just kind of been a summertime staple, whether we have a new album out or not,” Slightly Stoopid’s lead vocalist and co-founding member Miles Doughty says. “People come out to party. It’s pretty awesome. We’re blessed to do what we do and have the career we’ve had.”

This summer, the band’s appropriately titled headlining tour, the Sounds of Summer, features reggae, rock and world music from Iration, J. Boog and The Movement. Doughty loves these summer tours, as they have good weather, for the most part, and everyone’s energy level is so much higher.

After the intense winter in Bend, it’s safe to say we’re ready for heat and party jams.

“Summertime is just fun for everybody,” Doughty says. “I always love that about the summertime shows, the energy that you get from the people is crazy.”

Though the band has made these tours an annual tradition, they still miss home while out on the road.

They all have kids now and miss their

hometown, surfing with the kids and their friends and family.

“That’s kind of the sacrifice you make in the life of a musician. You sacrifice family and friends to bring music to people.”

Slightly Stoopid released its last album, “Meanwhile... Back at the Lab” in 2015, but have big plans for a new record in 2018. Stoopid plans to ride out the rest of this year and then start off next year right with a new album.

The band has written a lot of songs and now it’s a matter of picking the ones they want to use.

“The plan for us is to always keep evolving as musicians and make the best record we can,” Doughty says.

If you feel yourself getting stupider without new Stoopid songs, no worries. The band plays a couple of the songs that are going to be on the record during this tour. Doughty feels it’s a good way to get the songs going and see how they feel.

“We’ve seen so much in the 20 years we’ve been touring around,” Doughty reflects. “As you grow up and mature, you take all those experiences and moments that you’ve had and form them to songs and try to tell the best story you can.” SW Slightly Stoopid

Portland trio Human Ottoman brings an unexpected sound to Bend

By Anne Pick

GOODLIFE BEERS ON TAP!

Polyrhythmic

Rock out to the polyrhythms created by the cello, vibraphone and drum set trio, Human Ottoman.

S

ometimes, a soundscape crosses your ears and you not only take notice, but you dance in a completely unabashed way. Once you’ve heard the music of Portland-based trio Human Ottoman, you’ll know the feeling. Not only that, but you’ll be amazed that sounds this powerful can come from the combination of a cello, vibraphone and drum set. While you may have never thought to combine these instruments, Susan Lucia, Julian Kosanovic and Grayson Fiske did, which results in a chaotic, weird and amazing sound that can really make you scoot your boots.

“Grayson and I met in the percussion department in college,” Lucia says. “We started playing as a duo forever ago on bass and drums. Then he found a sweet deal on a vibraphone at a used instrument store. Obviously, cello was the rational third instrument to be in our band!”

While so much music inspires the trio, polyrhythms shine through as the biggest influence. For those not in the know, polyrhythms combine the simultaneous use of two or more conflicting rhythms not readily derived from one another. At least two rhythms must be played concurrently and can be the entire basis of a song, or a momentary disruption. “[The process for] each song is a little different,” Fiske says. “Someone always comes in with an idea and we mess around with that idea, making many different versions until we find one that we like. Sometimes we compile voice memos into GarageBand.”

Do a simple Google search for Human Ottoman and you’ll find a number of descriptions trying to nail what they do just right. Adventurous.

Boundary pushing. Groundbreaking.

But for Lucia, her favorite description is refreshing.

“Ultimately, we are just creating music that we like to play, while keeping the audience in mind, of course,” Fiske says.

"There aren't any rules for a vibraphone, cello and drum set trio."

— SUSAN LUCIA Human Ottoman released its second album, “Farang,” in 2015. The band currently has its third album in the works and they’ve excited about the direction it’s taking so far.

“Listeners can expect new tones,” Fiske says. “We are constantly playing with the possibilities and have learned a lot since 2015.”

While expectations may be high after two refreshing and well-received albums, Human Ottoman has one major benefit — freedom.

“There aren’t any rules for a vibraphone, cello and drum set trio,” Lucia exclaims. SW Human Ottoman & Third Seven Thursday, July 13. 9pm.

The P Style

Go in the Woods, #LikeABoss

By Nicole Vulcan

My niece is four years old and lives in the countryside, where she’s often seen wearing scarcely more than a pair of well-loved cowboy boots. When it’s time to answer the call of nature outside, she simply finds the nearest tree, squats, and proceeds to pee ALL over said boots. You can imagine why her mom insists those boots be left at the front door.

She’s a country girl with boots that can handle the onslaught. You, however, may find yourself in situations that don’t allow you to A. soak your cute boots, and B., leave said boots at the door. So what to do? Get yourself a device that allows you to forgo the squatting altogether.

A few years back someone gave me a P Style. Hey, as a journalist, I get all kinds of swag, wanted or not. It elicited a lot of funny jokes at first, but to be honest, I never used it. It just felt too weird, and unlike some women who coveted the male privilege of peeing standing up, I tend to covet other male privileges more—ones like not needing to scrabble for your pepper spray when leaving the grocery store at night.

Now though, I figured, best man up and finally give the P Style, retailing for $12, a try. Its makers—who also sell the Diva Cup—tout it as a handy device for those times when pulling down your pants is not possible, or for those people who can’t squat due to mobility issues. Here in Central

Oregon, where backcountry skiing is a big thing, I can see the advantages of not having to pull off all those layers whilst skinning or skiing.

The P Style’s creators encourage you to try the device in the shower first, so that’s what I did. Doing so brought up another pain point: what to do with the thing once I was done?

In the shower or near a sink, it’s simple: rinse it. In the woods, all I gotta say is, thank you, Ziploc. The P Style is made of hard plastic, which was, if not uncomfortable, also not quite comfortable when pressed against sensitive lady-parts. Still, seeing that yellow arc, much like I’d seen emerging from many a forest tree while hiking and biking with dudes, was pretty satisfying. There was absolutely no worry about messing any boots, and once the thing was safely deposited in its zippered bag, I felt accomplished. Ladies, we can be just like the guys now!

Let’s cross streams, and then smash the patriarchy, shall we?

The Wine Rack

The alcoholic-push up bra that smuggles your booze

By Magdalena Bokowa

What would a girl do without wine in the woods? Well, for one, she’d probably be a bit more coordinated, productive and motivated. Yet, when deep in the throes of a bachelorette party, being useful means your main mission is to get the bride drunk, and the wine rack gleefully accomplishes this task.

Not solely used for “mommy’s” grape juice, the wine rack can hold 25 ounces of beer (tested), mixed drinks (tested) and that god-forsaken dubbed elixir of “life”: water (obviously not tested as this was the weekend of all things mimosa).

Having ordered a large, I figured the bride would have ample room for her C-cup, though if you’re well-endowed and have a full bevvy in tow, you may find yourself wearing a corset — instead of a flexi-sports bra. “All the more reason to drink your liquor, quicker,” I shrieked—perhaps a bit too excitedly— “such clever engineering.”

Relatively easy to figure out— when sober—the most difficult task was working out how to unscrew the Camelback-type hose. Our bachelorette gently swayed from side-to-side (remember, there were morning mimosas) waiting for her first sips of warmish Tecate as a gaggle of girls swarmed around her, twisting, pushing and grabbing at her bosom. When one figured it out, “Ah, you PULL it out,” it was like we had just invented the lightbulb.

A series of “Oooohhs” rang out.

Touted as a “must-have” for the summer festival circuit as a way to bypass exorbitant costs of festie booze, we all agreed that outfit choice would have to be carefully planned as not to expose the overly long rubber hose. Note this does not work well with barely-there Coachella-esque tops, but add in a scarf or a flowy….”thing” to cover your shoulders and you’re all set.

At $30 a pop and with reviews ranging from “It’s the best purchase of my Lyyyyyyyfeeeeee” to “It popped on the second try and I had sticky rum and coke all down my shirt” this may or may not be worth it. But as a novelty gift, it fits just the ticket… and is a great instigator for the bride to keep day-drinking to the point of screaming “My heart will go onnnnnnnnnn and on….” in a canoe. At Sparks Lake. Midday. On a Sunday.

Sorry if you were there. Yes, that was us. Thanks to the unsuspecting kayaker who graciously accepted our serenade of “I Will Always Love You.” It was the wine-rack’s fault.

Thinx

Underwear, period.

By Anne Pick

While it may not exactly be “going commando,” the idea of not protecting our, uhh… lower halves during that time of the month can be frightening.

But when you’re camping out in the wild blue yonder, waste definitely comes to mind, which has ladies considering a more sustainable option.

Enter Thinx — the period underwear.

They’re anti-microbial, moisture-wicking, absorbent and leak-resistant. The top layer fights bacteria while the thin layer beneath absorbs liquid, allowing you to stay dry. Undies come in a variety of cuts, designed for variances in flow. While you may not be able to wear a thong on day one, you can choose the Hiphugger, which does the same work as two tampons.

While not designed specifically for outdoors, Thinx offers ladies concerned about disposing of waste a more sustainable option. When camping, for example, you won’t have to worry about packing out used tampons. Rinse the undies out, put them in a plastic bag and toss them in your pack to be washed upon your return to civilization. Thanks again, Ziploc.

Speaking of cleaning them, Thinx washing directions suggest rinsing immediately, washing in cold water (preferably on the delicates cycle) and hang drying. Make sure you don’t put them in the dryer like we did, as it seems they lose a bit of their effectiveness. Whether you’re out adventuring or not, the waste created from feminine hygiene products adds up. Thinx offers a more sustainable option.

What’s better? The Thinx Foundation provides girls worldwide with safe spaces to learn about their bodies. According to Thinx, 100 million girls across the world miss school because of periods. The educational program uses a curriculum focused on human rights and girls gain access to reusable menstrual products. Boom!

Lives changed!

And no, it doesn’t feel like wearing a diaper. SW

Or spent the day on the trail during a particular turn of the moon?

Or maybe your hands are so busy busting it up in the boardroom, killing it in the kitchen AND being the emotional sounding board for your kids and dogs and partner (all while earning 80 cents on the dollar compared to that [male] partner) that you simply don’t have a finger free to glug down the copious amounts of wine necessary to be that modern-day Wonder Woman?

proper vehicle rack to safely transporting the kayak, canoe or board, says Frank.

“We’re very welcoming here. We want to limit down the barriers to entering the sport and make it welcoming to everyone,” he says. This includes working with Oregon Adaptive Sports and sponsoring youth paddling programs with the Latino Community Association.

The store caters to all paddle sports, but Frank says the majority of people find the niche they enjoy most and stick with it. He says he has customers up to 90 years old, and recalled an 80-year-old woman who went on one of the trips to the San Juan Islands last year. “She paddled harder than some 45-year-olds. She was fun.”

Today the store is open seven days a week, year round, with over 40 employees—including six full-time, year-round staff members. But the place had more humble beginnings.

“There were three of us when we started,” Frank says. It used to be a four-month business, but that busy time has been extended to eight months by doing more marketing during the shoulder seasons, according to Frank. “It started off as a good lifestyle job for me, and it became a place where I can provide a lot of

g dlin Pad

n Sa the

J

employment in this lifestyle.”

Stationed on the northern edge of the Old Mill, the location is convenient for patrons who can rent and/ or purchase practically anything that floats, as well as getting guided tours.

There’s also a shop in Sunriver.

So does a busy store mean Frank no longer has time to get out on the water himself? It may have been that way in the beginning, he says, but no longer.

“The first 10-15 years were more challenging, but the last few years we’ve developed a really strong team that I can trust. I have a great management team that runs it, and now I have enough flexibility to take time off.”

As testament to that, by the time this issue hits the stands, Frank will be river rafting somewhere in Idaho. He says it’s his favorite way to “recharge [his] batteries.”

“I do everything, but I’m a rafter.

I like spending my time on multi-day rafting trips. Water sports were always my summertime passion and activity.”

When he’s not on the water, he enjoys mountain biking and skiing.

Frank is also a co-founder of the Bend Paddle Trail Alliance, which

planted roots in 2004 and became a nonprofit not long after. The group raised money to establish the whitewater park near Bend’s Colorado Bridge, and a few years ago presented to Bend Park & Recreation a check for $1.3 million. He says he spent about 10 years helping on the project.

Originally from Portland, Frank earned a business degree in resort management and outdoor recreation from Portland State University, and was living on Mt. Hood and working in a ski shop before moving to Bend during the winter of 1999 to run the Bend store. At that time the company was doing business as Alder Creek.

Frank became the sole owner in 2007, rebranding as Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe in 2008.

“We’re just going to keep doing what we do. We’ve been here 17 years, and our goal is to be here for another 17 years or longer,” Frank says.

And as for “living the dream,” he reflects, “I have a pretty good life.

There’s definitely a challenge to being a small business owner, especially a seasonal one, but I love my life and I enjoy it.” SW

Call it happy—but not an ending.

That’s because it’s a fresh new start for the printmaking studio and gallery space formally known as Atelier 6000, located in Bend’s Box Factory. After surviving a serious financial crisis over the spring, A6, as it was more commonly called, has now rebranded itself as the Bend Art Center.

One big reason? Simple. Neither of its former names caught on with the public—leaving many confused as to what exactly was happening inside.

That won’t be a problem any longer. “We are already seeing a shift in this mindset of the public with the

name change,” says new BAC Executive Director Alexis Chapman. “The community at large seems less timid to come through our doors and take advantage of our programming.”

Along with the new name comes big changes. While the A6 studio will still offer book arts and printmaking workshops inside the Center, we can now expect a much broader variety of art displays. That includes both photography and sculpture slated for the main exhibition space. Bend Art Center also plans to host guest speakers as well as monthly art appreciation programs.

This change did not come without an outpouring of support. Community partners, artist members and the A6 board all chimed in with ideas

on the next step. “The rebrand felt like the next chapter of our story,” Chapman says.

To honor its printmaking legacy, the A6 Studio will continue to live on inside the Bend Art Center—offering Central Oregon’s only publicly accessible print facility. Chapman notes the Center will “offer press play every Saturday throughout July for anyone that wants to come by and discover the magic of an etching press.” SW Bend Art Center

"I do everything, but I'm a rafter. I like spending my time on multi-day rafting trips. Water sports were always my summertime passion and activity."

Geoff Frank

t’s one of those phrases that many have defiantly declared, sarcastically uttered, or just merely wished were true: “Living the dream.”

For Geoff Frank, owner/operator of Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe, it appears to simply be a fact—though he was reluctant to concede it during our interview. We sat down early on a Friday afternoon in a quiet loft space above the din of activity buzzing below us on the ground floor of the store, just off the banks of the Deschutes River.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, the temperature well on its way into the high 90s, and the water was calling people who came to get outfitted for their aqua adventures.

“Our philosophy is sharing the experience and getting people introduced to the sport and falling in love with the sport,” Frank says. “We’re here to help people and help facilitate people getting on the water and enjoying what our lakes and rivers have to offer.” A side effect of that, he adds, is having people take care of the river, maybe picking up a little trash on their way, or perhaps becoming involved in protecting a fragile area.

The store’s mission ranges from teaching the basics of paddling to instructing customers in how to carry out multi-day trips, to installing the

It was from ZX Ventures, a global disruptive growth group, incubator and venture capital team backed by one of the largest multinational companies in the world, AB InBev, asking her to solve a problem.

The beer industry, while making one of the world’s most loved beverages, produces 8 billion pounds of leftover grain each year through the brewing process. Some of our larger local brewers produce up to 6 tons of spent grain per day. This leftover grain still contains lots of fiber and protein but is low in carbohydrates because the starch goes into the beer.

Because this mixture is highly perishable, there’s no easy way to deal with it. Some brewers sell or give it away to farmers as stock feed or to bakeries to make bread and other baked goods.

The reality is the market isn’t using all of it and a significant amount just ends up in the ground.

The New York team viewed this spent grain quandary from a food science perspective, developing a lactic acid fermentation process—the first of its kind—to keep the grain from going to waste. With their background in the beer industry they had no idea what to do with this new product.

That’s when Pool got the call.

Pool had already been in the health

food industry and created kale chips, another “disruptive” food product.

(Disruptive products are defined in Wikipedia as “an innovation that creates a new market and value network.”)

The group asked Pool if she was interested in turning the saved grain from beer, a sustainable, plant-based fiber and protein source, into something good, something beneficial for the mass market. She did some research and decided it was a no-brainer to pursue the project. She said, “Beer is already the coolest thing, let’s turn it into something even cooler.”

Now what to do with it?

Pool’s first thought was to turn it into a superfood smoothie. After a bunch of prototypes she brought the smoothie to chefs she knew in New York and Portland. The feedback wasn’t great. They complained about the product being too thick and having a weird, grainy texture. Pool went back to the drawing board and produced hundreds of prototypes before discovering the final product: barley milk. Her next step was to start a company that would produce her new product.

Saving the grain with Canvas Barley Milk Pool is now CEO and co-founder of Canvas, the company producing a ready-to-drink beverage made for people on the go. It’s nutritionally balanced with 15 grams of fiber (nearly half of the recommended daily intake),

10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat.

Pool says, “It’s more than just a milk, it’s almost like a meal.” I asked her what it tasted like and she said, “The original flavor tastes like cereal milk, it has the sweetness of the grain. It’s so good!” Canvas Barley Milk comes in five flavors: original, cold brew coffee, turmeric chai, matcha, and cocoa & spice.

Tasting it Canvas is coming to market with a crowd-funded Kickstarter campaign launching July 17. Campaign backers can pre-purchase products at a discount; a full case of 12 bottles will be offered at half off of retail, for $29.

Pool says the goal of the campaign is to get the product out to the community at a discount and get feedback.

She wants to know what people think of the flavor, packaging and whether they have any other ideas.

Once the Kickstarter campaign wraps up toward the end of the summer, Pool is hoping to get Canvas onto local supermarket shelves. And local is just the beginning. Pool sees the global potential of using spent grain. She’s hoping that eventually malnourished communities around the world will have access to the process Canvas uses to turn leftover grain into a nutritious food source.

Have you ever wondered if it’s safe to bring deviled eggs to a hot summer picnic? Or how long those fancy preserved lemons you made will last in the fridge? Of course you can do a Google search, but a master food preserver from Oregon State University Extension is just a phone call away. Plus, “There is a lot of misinformation online,” says Nellie Oehler, master food preserver coordinator in Lane County. OSU’s food preservation safety hotline is available on weekdays from 9am to 4pm until Oct. 13.

Last year they answered 2,760 phone calls, so don’t hesitate to pick up the phone if your refrigerator or freezer goes out or if you just need to know if Grandma’s preservation method really is safe. SW OSU Food Preservation & Safety Hotline 1-800-354-7319

History Pub: Farmers’ Markets Go from Dirty to Desirable Modern farmers markets—with their locally grown, artisanal foods—are highly desirable and cherished in local communities. It wasn’t always this way. At the turn of the 20th century farmers were often at odds with city planners, who saw markets as “disorderly and dirty.” In San Francisco, one especially heated fight played out over a space that is today the site of a prosperous market, which revived an entire neighborhood. Come hear about the more complicated past of what has become an urban mainstay at “The Fight for a Farmers Market: A Hundred Years of Produce and Politics,” presented by Laura Ferguson, Ph.D. Curator of Western History at the High Desert Museum.

hen you’re buying cheese, do you purchase Tillamook cheese over Safeway’s house label, or Backporch Coffee Roasters over Starbucks, strictly because you want to keep Oregon companies safe from international mega-corps?

Debates such as those beg another one: Why does the topic of “real” and “faux” craft beer come up so often, and inspire so much vitriol among posters on BeerAdvocate and Facebook?

Last month the Brewers Association, a trade group that advocates for America’s 5,300 or so small and selfowned breweries, released an “Independent Craft Brewer Seal” for beer sellers to place on bottles, boxes and other materials. It’s available to any brewery, BA member or not, who signs a licensing agreement and meets the BA’s definition of “craft brewer,” which includes no more than 25 percent ownership by another non-craft alcohol industry member.

The BA’s new seal comes amid a trend in recent years of craft breweries receiving investments or buyouts from larger macros including AB InBev, MillerCoors and Constellation Brands, importers of Corona. This includes famous names such as Ballast Point in California, Wicked Weed in North Carolina, and—of course— our neighbors at 10 Barrel Brewing. It also comes at a time when the macros, and the beer distributors they control, have made inroads in several state legislatures to pass laws that smaller breweries say give them an unfair advantage at liquor stores and bars when competing for shelf space.

Roger Worthington, the Corvallis native who opened Worthy Brewing on Bend’s east side in 2013, uses the term “Dark Side” to refer to breweries that accept a macro’s money. “Dark Side sounds harsh,” he wrote in his blog, “but the truth is that the industrials want to rig the game. They have superior fighting power when it comes to capital investment, marketing, distribution and lobbying. Like any mega-monopolist, their purpose is to price out, cripple and crush the competition. At the risk of sounding shrill,

reddragonchineserestaurant.com

The BA’s new seal symbolizes how craft beer “turned the industry upside down.”

in many cases the industrials pose a clear and present danger to the viability of authentic craft breweries.”

No company wants to be called “dark,” and several of the breweries Worthington talks about have fired back. A video posted by The High End, the InBev division that oversees their craft-y efforts, features 10 Barrel co-founder Garrett Wales criticizing the BA’s new seal alongside High End boss Felipe Szpigel. “At the end of the day,” he said, “the beer does the talking, not the label on the package.

The BA continues to refuse to let the consumer make up their own mind and tries to make it up for them. They have a little bottle that someone told me, ‘that’s what I have to buy,’ but that doesn’t mean [jack] to me.”

Both sides agree that it’s ultimately the quality of the beer that decides who survives and who doesn’t. But while going to Starbucks for a quickie coffee won’t put Backporch out of business tomorrow, Worthington argues that keeping the term “craft beer” meaningful is vital for the business’s future, and Bend’s presence in it. “Bend is a unique and valuable craft brewing terroir for many reasons, including our access to crystal-clear snow melt water,” he stated.

“Like ‘Bordeaux,’ ‘Champagne,’ and ‘Napa Valley,’ Bend is tantamount to an appellation, which must be protected from imposters.” SW

47 METERS DOWN: A thriller about two young

women on vacation who get trapped in a shark cage...47 meters down. Some critics are saying this movie is an absolute blast and others are calling it the worst shark movie since “Sharknado.” Either way, it will be very entertaining. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

BABY DRIVER: Edgar Wright is the visionary

behind such modern classics as “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” and “The World's End.” It's been way too long since his last movie, but now we can rejoice as he brings his distinct style to a crime thriller/musical/comedy. It looks absolutely sublime. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. Sisters Movie House.

THE BEGUILED: A remake of a weirdly sexist

Food & Beverage Available • No Pets, Glass or Alcohol • Bring Blankets/Low-Profile Chairs

Clint Eastwood movie puts Sophia (“Lost in Translation”) Coppola in the director's chair once again.

It tells the tale of a wounded enemy soldier who takes refuge in an all-girls boarding school. The original was from the POV of the man, whereas the remake follows the women. An edge-of-your-seat story. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: Based on the series of beloved books, “Captain Underpants” tells the story of a hypnotized principal who becomes the titular superhero. The cast is stacked with hilarious performers including Kevin Hart, Ed Helms, Jordan Peele, Kristen Schaal and many more. Give this one a shot and you'll be surprised at how funny and heartwarming something called “Captain Underpants” can be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. CARS 3: The continuing adventures of Lightning McQueen and Pixar's most annoying creation: Mater. I know the kids like him but, holy hell, what did we do to deserve Larry the Cable Guy in our ears for another 90 minutes? C'mon Pixar, you're better than this. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DESPICABLE ME 3: Whether or not you'll enjoy this new entry in the massively successful animation series depends on whether you're sick of the minions yet. If you can still handle them, then this is a pretty funny animated movie that kids will love and parents won't feel insulted by.

GOING IN STYLE: A comedy/heist movie

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

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2:

Marvel Studios strikes again with its most colorful and bizarre adventure yet. If you love Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Rocket and Groot, then this is an unmissable addition to the cinematic universe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

THE HERO: Legend Sam Elliott plays an actor who gets a cancer diagnosis and questions his legacy. The film is simultaneously heartbreaking, life affirming and beautiful. A lovely piece of work.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House THE HOUSE: Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler starring in an R-Rated comedy about gambling hits right in my cinematic sweet spot. These two actors together are an absolute treat and the movie looks hysterical. Hopefully catching this one on the big screen won't be too much...of a gamble. Sorry, not sorry. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX I, DANIEL BLAKE: Director Ken Loach has

the uncanny ability to take working class lives and stage their stories as heartwarming (sometimes heartbreaking) narratives. This film tells the story of a 59-year-old carpenter who has a heart attack and must rely on welfare for the first time in his life. A beautiful political allegory. Tin Pan Theater.

PARIS CAN WAIT: Diane Lane and Alec Baldwin star in a romantic road trip comedy through the highways and byways of France. This should be a lovely diversion for the grownups in the audience.

Tin Pan Theater.

ROUGH NIGHT: In the spirit of “Bridesmaids”

and “Very Bad Things” comes a star-studded comedy about a bachelorette party that goes horribly wrong when the women accidentally kill a male stripper. I hope they all learn a valuable lesson because male strippers are people, too, and he was probably working his way through college or something. McMenamins Old St Francis

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING: We know what you're thinking: “Another rebooted Spider-Man??” Yes, they just tried this and failed, but the difference is now Marvel Studios gets to play with him. That means team-ups with Iron Man, Captain America, the Guardians of the Galaxy and more. Tom Holland's Peter Parker is fantastic, so this is nothing but good news. See full review on p 43. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT:

Another summer means another “Transformers” movie, but this one goes a little bonkers with its plot. Now with King Arthur, Merlin, dragons and space gods...just in case the mythology of this series needed to be a little more convoluted. Still, if you like explosions, this series continues to deliver.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema.

WONDER WOMAN: Finally,

a big screen adaptation of one of the most beloved superheroes in history. It's amazing that it took this long.

Advanced word is that the DC Extended Universe has finally gotten it right with this one in ways they failed with “Batman Vs. Superman” and “Suicide Squad.” History has been made with this film.

SCREEN The Good Daughter Riding through Southeast Asia

By Jared Rasic 41

Josh Letchworth

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 28 / July 13, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Rebecca Rusch and Huyen Nguyen pedal the Ho Chi Minh trail. See a screening of their documentary Thursday at McMenamins.

“If possible I will do what I can to ease the pain of war.”

“B

lood Road” isn’t just a sports documentary. Instead, it’s a look at the human cost of war; an ode to the harsh beauty of Southeast Asia and an incredibly personal tale of a journey 40 years in the making. Rebecca Rusch is an endurance athlete who barely knew her father. Air Force Captain Stephen Rusch was shot down over the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the Vietnam War and was listed as missing in action until a few of his teeth were found in 2007.

Rusch felt a pull to the area where it happened and concocted an idea: Cycling roughly 1,200 miles across Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia down the entire Ho Chi Minh Trail, arriving at her father’s crash site on the anniversary of his death. She enlists Huyen Nguyen, a Vietnamese cyclist, to be her partner and translator for the ride and has her husband and a few others act as pathfinders and support throughout their three-week journey.

The documentary’s gorgeous and lush cinematography makes this a stunning film to watch, even as the story creates some very interesting moral questions and contradictions. The land along the Ho Chi Minh trail was turned into Swiss cheese by all of the bombing runs, which Rusch’s father participated in, even as we learn from his letters home how much he hated that part of the job. He saw no reason for the war and had trouble rationalizing his position there.

Rusch and Nguyen’s fathers fought on opposing sides of a war that still affects the people who live along the trail. The modern world feels like it’s fighting tooth and nail to overtake the past there, but the wounds are still too fresh. The endless bomb craters were never filled in because when it rained they would become little ecosystems for fish and bacteria.

Even surrounded by the staggering amount of death visible in every crater, there’s life clawing its way back to the

— HUYEN NGUYEN

surface. The land across Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia is pockmarked with unexploded ordinance, which people live beside and treat like an unstable neighbor to be ignored.

They live with the ghosts of their fathers everyday.

The endless bomb craters were never filled in because when it rained they would become little ecosystems for fish and bacteria.

As touching as it is to witness Rusch decimating her body to find a piece of emotional catharsis by connecting with the memory of a father she barely knew, seeing another white person’s journey of self-discovery is nowhere near as interesting as the devastating view of everything we lose when we succumb to our basest instincts. Even with the post-script saying that the U.S. is sending money to help defuse the thousands of unexploded bombs across Southeast Asia, it’d hard not to feel like the damage is already done, no matter how good the intentions.

The Perks of Being a Wallcrawler Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Lad

By Jared Rasic 43

Chuck Zlotnick

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 28 / July 13, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

t’s almost impossible not to be cynical about the fact that we’re now experiencing our third reboot of Spider-Man in 15 years. This could have easily been a soulless cash grab designed to market the character to a younger generation with its youthful cast and high school setting. Instead, Marvel has once again created, ahem, a marvel, offering something that feels less like a marketing ploy and more like the proper version of the character fans have been waiting for.

Introduced in last year’s “Captain America: Civil War,” Tom Holland’s excellent version of Peter Parker avoids the emo heartbreak of Tobey Maguire and the manic intensity of Andrew Garfield and instead gives us a Parker we haven’t seen before: One who’s still just a kid. He’s a sophomore in high school and doesn’t have many friends other than his right hand man Ned (the hilarious Jacob Batalon), but he’s also not a tortured nerd desperate for acceptance like previous incarnations.

In fact, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” avoids the typical origin story claptrap altogether. We aren’t subjected to another interpretation of Peter getting bitten by the radioactive spider, the tragic death of Uncle Ben and Parker finding his inner hero. There’s not a single character in the entire movie who ever says: “With great power comes great responsibility.” We meet Pete after all of the character-building drama, while he’s flipping around the city helping people—still not very good at being Spider-Man, but at least he’s excited to be there.

If “Captain America: Winter Soldier” is Marvel Studios’ version of a ‘70s paranoid conspiracy thriller and “Doctor Strange” is its trippy drug movie and “Guardians of the Galaxy” is its “Star Wars,” then “Homecoming” is its John Hughes movie. For the first time in franchise history, the time Peter spends in school is equally entertaining as his time in the suit. The movie is just as much of a comedy as it is a superhero movie, and director Jon Watts never lets the energy wane long

Real subtle there, Marvel. I see what you did.

enough to forget that. He’s done something akin to a high wire act: balancing humor, action and drama in a way that seems effortless instead of painfully obvious.

Marvel even fixes their villain problem with Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes, AKA... Batman, no... Birdman, no, The Vulture! He’s nothing like the comic book version of the character (who mostly just wanted to rob banks); instead he’s a human and relatable monster. His company would clean up after superhero battles, putting the city back together while cataloging all the weird alien tech left behind by The Avengers. When Tony Stark creates the U.S. Department of

Damage Control to basically do the same thing, putting Toomes out of business, Toomes becomes bitter and decides to start selling the alien weaponry he’s found to the highest bidder.

That’s about as high as the stakes get here. Parker isn’t saving the world from an alien invasion; instead, he’s protecting Queens from an arms dealer. He’s starting small because that’s who he is: the 15-year-old kid making his web fluid in science class and studying alien technology in auto shop.

That’s the Peter Parker we know and love: a selfless young man who can’t save the world at this very second. He has curfew. SW

Up OUTSIDE Mount Cascade Cycling Classic set to descend on Bend with world-class cycling events Words by Grant Woods, Photos by Mike Albright 45 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 28 / July 13, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A pack of riders grinds it out during a road race as part of a recent Cascade Cycling Classic.

C

yclists: Prepare for some exhilarating competition. July 19 marks the start of Bend’s 38th annual Cascade Cycling Classic, in which professional and amateur cyclists come from across the globe to compete in the longest running stage race in the United States.

“The race is great because it covers all the different types of terrains and landscapes of Oregon,” said Molly Cogswell-Kelley, the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation financial development and events director.

The competition sees teams crush through five dynamic stage races. This year, in the professional category, the event incorporates a few styles of racing: three road races, one time trial, and one criterium, or “crit.” Road races are the most popular form of bicycle racing at the professional level. They involve a mass start where all teams and riders begin at the same place and time and cover a specified distance.

Time Trail stages are done either in teams or individually. Each rider is given a start time and will navigate a course to a specific point and back, where their times will be recorded and ranked. The last category, commonly referred to as the crit, is performed on a smaller course, where riders will complete as many laps as possible in a given time frame. All three styles of racing pose different challenges for riders and unique excitement for spectators.

In case you’re curious about how it all works, here’s more about each stage of the race.

Stage 1 is the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation McKenzie Pass Road Race. The starting point for the Pro 1 men will be Crook County High School in Prineville, at 9 am on July 19. Pro 1-2 women will start from Prineville Reservoir at 10 am. The races will cover 108.1 miles and 89.3 miles, respectively, both finishing at McKenzie Pass. Riders should expect open fields and farmlands early in the race, amazing views of the Cascade Mountains, and “killer climbs to break up the group,” said Cogswell-Kelley.

Stage 2 is the Robberson Ford-Mazda-Skyliners Time Trial on July 20. The out and back course starts at Pacific Crest Middle School and ends at W.E.

Miller Elementary School. Pro 1 men time trials begin at 10 am, and the Pro 1-2 women starting time is yet to be determined. The freshly paved 14.3-mile course is short, but with a 4 percent increase in elevation, it will offer an epic challenge.

Stage 3 is the Regency BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon-Cascade Lakes Road Race, taking place on July 21. For the Pro 1 men’s category, this race begins at 10 am and covers 108 miles. Pro 1-2 women begin at 11:30 am and traverse 87.9 miles. The race starts at the Summit High School parking lot and finishes at Kapka Butte Sno-Park with plenty of climbing and downhill in between.

In Stage 4 on July 22, riders will compete in the Desert Orthopedics and Rebound Physical Therapy - Downtown Twilight Criterium. Pro 1-2 women begin at 5:10 pm with a race time of 50 minutes. The Pro 1 men’s race begins at 6:30 pm and lasts a grueling 75 minutes. Approximately 20,000 spectators will gather in the heart of downtown Bend to enjoy this race.

Stage 5, the final day of racing, July 23, will feature the Worthy Brewing - Aubrey Butte Circuit Race. In this road race, cyclists will perform laps, beginning and ending at Central Oregon Community College.

Pro 1 men will race for 82 miles (5 laps), Pro 1-2 women will complete 3 laps for a total of 49 miles. Starting times are 11 am for men, noon for women.

The Cascade Cycling Classic will bring out the best of professional and amateur cyclists. Year after year, the organizers of this event continue to impress with dynamic and well-planned courses. Look forward to tremendous competition, daunting climbs, brutal sprints and pristine scenery. And not only that, but the kitty is pretty big too: total prizes amount to over $31,000. SW

Highway Legend

The naming of the Oregon Rubber Road Snake

By Jim Anderson

The author and his daughter, Miriam inspect the rare, Rubber Road Snake, flexilius robustus oregonius.

S

Over the years she’s been asserting, “Dad, we can’t keep this to ourselves, we owe it to science!”

ome years ago—June of 1998 to be exact—while my family and I were traveling through Klamath County on a Great Gray Owl banding expedition with Tom and Casey Rodhouse, we discovered a beautiful specimen of a Rubber Road Snake, flexilius robustus oregonius.

As far as I can find, this snake has never been described in the scientific literature; even Al St. John, Bend author of “Reptiles of the Northwest,” missed it, as did Ed Park, famous wildlife writer and photographer in Prineville. Fearing a lost opportunity, I took the liberty of giving it a scientific name.

I do not feel at all uncomfortable with providing a new scientific name, as early paleontologists such as Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope did it all the time when they dug up a new piece of dinosaur fossil they had never seen before.

Marsh taught at Yale University, served as president of the National Academy of Science, and was a good friend of both Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley. Cope, who enjoyed a large inheritance, used his fortune to support extensive paleontological fieldwork in the West. His 1,500 publications powerfully shaped American paleontology.

Those two guys named new Genera from just one bone, and the entire scientific community swallowed it hook, line and sinker (even though they sometimes placed the wrong head on the wrong dinosaur). Therefore, I see no problems with my work — shucks, I‘ve seen entire skins of Rubber Road

According to a recent survey of agents in 11 major markets, 33 percent of respondents indicated they had made offers on homes sight unseen. This is getting to be more common in tight housing markets, such as here in Bend.

New technologies, video tours, and virtual reality options including Facetime can provide enough information to decide on a purchase without actually seeing it in person.

Half As, Half & Full Trail Marathon

Bend, Oregon

Saturday August 6th 2016 Full, Half & 6.5 Trail Marathon | Bend, Oregon www.haulinaspen.com

I’m a woman looking for a new boyfriend and considering various online dating sites. Some have long questionnaires, and they factor your answers into an “algorithm” to match you with the best possible partner. Are these sites significantly better than the others?

—Site Seeker Most people will tell you they want to be accepted for who they really are — yet those doing online dating rarely post profiles with stuff like “I like long walks on the beach, fine dining and obscenely large breasts.”

In light of this, sites using these compatibility “algorithms” would seem to have some added value. However, according to a massive online dating analysis by social psychologist Eli Finkel and his colleagues, this algorithm stuff mainly seems to be a “science!”-flavored marketing ploy. The researchers explain that it’s “virtually impossible” for sites to do what they promise with these algorithms: “match people who are uniquely suited to one another” and who are likely to have a “satisfying and lasting long-term relationship” together.

As the Finkel team notes about the “uniquely suited” business: The evidence suggests that these algorithms are really no better at rooting out compatible partners than the matching most people already do themselves with sites’ search parameters — culling the herd of breathing, profile-posting humans down to, say, fellow Ph.D.s who are also weekend Satan worshippers. (“Shall we meet at the Starbucks by your office, or are you up for an afternoon of ritual goat slaughter?”)

Even more outrageous is the sites’ claim that this mathematical alchemy can identify two people who can have a lasting, happy relationship together who have yet to even meet. The researchers point out that the algorithms only measure the “individual characteristics of partners” (personality, attitudes, values, background). They note that this is just one of three essential variables that determine whether relationships sink or swim.

The other two are elements that can’t really be sussed out before two people are in a relationship. One is the “circumstances surrounding (a) couple” — like how they fit into each other’s family and whether one loses their job or goes through other major stressors. The other factor is the “interactions between the partners” — how partners communicate, solve problems, and support each other.

I would add an essential fourth factor that needs to be assessed face to face — physical attraction. So, regarding those “29 dimensions of compatibility!” that one site advertises, consider, if you will, 30 and 31: discovering “this must be what dead bodies smell like when the detectives cover their nose with a hanky on TV” and “I’m as sexually attracted to you as I am to a stalk of wheat.”

There’s also the “garbage in, garbage out” problem (statisticians’ shorthand for how poor-quality input leads to poor-quality output). It’s unlikely that people are any more honest and accurate in filling out these questionnaires than they are in their online dating profiles. (No, sadly, outside the world of “gender-fluid” activism, being a woman isn’t just “a state of mind.”)

Typically, deception in online dating profiles is intentional; sometimes — as research on personality finds — we can’t quite see ourselves as we really are. For example, take an item on one of these sites’ compatibility surveys: “I try to accommodate the other Amy Alkon person’s position.”

There are seven little circles on a scale to blacken in, from “not at all” to “very well.”

Well, okay, but do control freaks always understand that they’re control freaks?

Sometimes somebody seriously controlling might fill in “very well” on “I try to accommodate…” simply because they see themselves in the best light — instead of the actual light: “I’m Stalin — though I’ve never been able to grow much of a mustache.”

Probably the best that can be said about these personality questionnaires is that they might lead you into a little helpful introspection. But otherwise, these tests seem as pointless as they are grueling (kind of like filling out an application for a bank loan for your personality).

This isn’t to knock online dating itself, which offers really rapid, easy access to a lot of potential partners whom you’d probably never meet otherwise. However, it helps to have a smart strategy vis-a-vis the potential pitfalls, and that’s meeting any person you think might be a possibility ASAP (before you have any long, bond-y text-athons).

Meeting pronto gives you the best shot at seeing whether you click, as well as spotting any vast differences between profile and reality. And as I always advise about first dates, keep it cheap, short, and local. Less investment means less disappointment if you find out a guy’s lying — or, maybe worse, if he’s being honest: He really is looking for his “partner in crime” — because one of the guys on his robbery crew got arrested last week.

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. “All life is an experiment.” I’d love to see you make that your operative strategy in the coming weeks, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now is a favorable time to overthrow your habits, rebel against your certainties, and cruise through a series of freewheeling escapades that will change your mind in a hundred different ways. Do you love life enough to ask more questions than you’ve ever asked before?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The cereus cactus grows in the deserts of the southwestern U.S. Most of the time it’s scraggly and brittle-looking. But one night of the year, in June or July, it blooms with a fragrant, trumpet-shaped flower. By dawn the creamy white petals close and start to wither. During that brief celebration, the plant’s main pollinator, the sphinx moth, has to discover the marvelous event and come to gather the cactus flower’s pollen. I suspect this scenario has metaphorical resemblances to a task you could benefit from carrying out in the days ahead. Be alert for a sudden, spectacular and rare eruption of beauty that you can feed from and propagate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I had more room here, I would offer an inspirational Powerpoint presentation designed just for you. In the beginning, I would seize your attention with an evocative image that my marketing department had determined would give you a visceral thrill. (Like maybe a photoshopped image of you wearing a crown and holding a scepter.) In the next part, I would describe various wonderful and beautiful things about you. Then I’d tactfully describe an aspect of your life that’s underdeveloped and could use some work. I’d say, “I’d love for you to be more strategic in promoting your good ideas. I’d love for you to have a well-crafted master plan that will attract the contacts and resources necessary to lift your dream to the next level.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I advise you against snorting cocaine, MDMA, heroin, or bath salts. But if you do, don’t lay out your lines of powder on a kitchen table or a baby’s diaper-changing counter in a public restroom. Places like those are not exactly sparkly clean, and you could end up propelling contaminants close to your brain. Please observe similar care with any other activity that involves altering your consciousness or changing the way you see the world. Do it in a nurturing location that ensures healthy results. P.S. The coming weeks will be a great time to expand your mind if you do it in all-natural ways such as through conversations with interesting people, travel to places that excite your awe, and encounters with provocative teachings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In late 1811 and early 1812, parts of the mighty Mississippi River flowed backwards several times. Earthquakes were the cause. Now, more than two centuries later, you Sagittarians have a chance -- maybe even a mandate -- to accomplish a more modest rendition of what nature did way back then. Do you dare to shift the course of a great, flowing, vital force? I think you should at least consider it. In my opinion, that great, flowing, vital force could benefit from an adjustment that you have the wisdom and luck to understand and accomplish.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re entering into the Uncanny Zone, Capricorn. During your brief journey through this alternate reality, the wind and the dew will be your teachers. Animals will provide special favors. You may experience true fantasies, like being

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is one of those rare grace periods when you can slip into a smooth groove without worrying that it will degenerate into a repetitive rut. You’ll feel natural and comfortable as you attend to your duties, not blank or numb. You’ll be entertained and educated by exacting details, not bored by them. I conclude, therefore, that this will be an excellent time to lay the gritty foundation for expansive and productive adventures later this year. If you’ve been hoping to get an advantage over your competitors and diminish the negative influences of people who don’t empathize with you, now is the time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is a direct correlation between playfulness and intelligence, since the most intelligent animals engage in the greatest amount of playful activities.” So reports the *National Geographic.* “The reason is simple: Intelligence is the capacity for learning, and to play is to learn.” I suggest you make these thoughts the centerpiece of your life in the coming weeks.

You’re in a phase when you have an enhanced capacity to master new tricks. That’s fortunate, because you’re also in a phase when it’s especially crucial for you to learn new tricks. The best way to ensure it all unfolds with maximum grace is to play as much as possible.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s not your birthday, but I feel like you need to get presents. The astrological omens agree with me.

In fact, they suggest you should show people this horoscope to motivate them to do the right thing and shower you with practical blessings. And why exactly do you need these rewards? Here’s one reason: Now is a pivotal moment in the development of your own ability to give the unique gifts you have to give. If you receive tangible demonstrations that your contributions are appreciated, you’ll be better able to rise to the next level of your generosity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Other astrologers and fortune-tellers may enjoy scaring the hell out of you, but not me. My job is to keep you apprised of the ways that life aims to help you, educate you, and lead you out of your suffering. The truth is, Taurus, that if you look hard enough, there are always seemingly legitimate reasons to be afraid of pretty much everything. But that’s a stupid way to live, especially since there are also always legitimate reasons to be excited about pretty much everything. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to work on retraining yourself to make the latter approach your default tendency. I have rarely seen a better phase than now to replace chronic anxiety with shrewd hope.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At least for the short-range future, benign neglect can be an effective game plan for you. In other words, Gemini, allow inaction to do the job that can’t be accomplished through strenuous action. Stay put. Be patient and cagey and observant. Seek strength in silence and restraint. Let problems heal through the passage of time. Give yourself permission to watch and wait, to reserve judgment and withhold criticism. Why do I suggest this approach? Here’s a secret: Forces that are currently working in the dark and behind the scenes will generate the best possible outcome.

O

n July 1, Nevada joined the “cool cannabis kids” club when it became the 5th state to offer legalized adult use cannabis, or in less wonky terminology, recreational cannabis. (Mandatory cannabis columnist disclaimer: Kids, you can be cool without cannabis, too! It’s rare, but still possible.)

A total of 44 dispensaries were allowed to begin selling to recreational buyers, with 39 of those located in Las Vegas. Sales were strong, with the Nevada Dispensary Association estimating that between $3 to 5 million of cannabis/cannabis products were sold during the first weekend. Taxes are projected to hit $30 million in the first year, although many believe that amount could be under projected, as it was in Colorado, Washington and Oregon.

Most everyone I know visits Las Vegas at some point during the calendar year—it sees 45 million tourists a year—be it to escape the Northwest winters, attend a convention, or test out your new guaranteed system at the blackjack table. Yet as someone who rarely drinks or gambles, (Mr. Excitement!) aside from eating mushrooms and watching the Bellagio dancing fountains, Vegas doesn’t have much to offer me. But if I can cop some jazz tobacco without the man disrupting my vibe, I may be more inclined to make the trip.

Before you opt not to carry your stash down with you, get hip to what’s up in Sin City. Some things mirror our system in Oregon (consumption), while some do not (get ready to pay top dollar.)

Drinking on the strip is fine. Smoking is not - Chug that fifth of vodka in your best Nick Cage “Leaving Las Vegas” impersonation while you make your way down the Strip, but don’t even think about lighting up, Hempo.

A first offense can get you a $600 fine.

(And no, I’m certain the liquor lobby had no role in getting that rule passed, why do you ask?)

Where can i smoke? Great question! You can’t, anywhere, ever. Now go screw yourself, Kyle the Tourist.

Well, you can smoke it in a private

residence that you own, or a rental if you have permission. But other places, such as parks, hotels, bars and cafes, will prohibit it. Casinos? Great news! You can smoke tobacco in many casinos, but not cannabis. (And no, I’m certain the tobacco lobby had no role in getting that rule passed, why do you ask?)

What’s this gonna run me? That 20 percent tax you’ve been bitching about here at home looks pretty good compared to the 33 percent tax you will be paying in Nevada. You need an eighth for your stay? That will be $80, please.

An ounce of top shelf will run you $400 or higher.

(Spit take) - Yeah, I know. The taxes are a part of this obscenity; growers have a 15 percent excise tax imposed upon them, and there is a 15 percent tax on wholesale cannabis sales. But those prices may be attributed to some price gouging on the part of some growers, due to a recent court ruling.

This is a fun story, so pay attention: Nevada cannabis regulatory officials decided that cannabis needed to be treated like alcohol, and decreed that for the first year and a half of adult use sales, licensed distributors of alcohol would be the only ones allowed to handle the transport of cannabis from grower to dispensary. Except there wasn’t enough interest from the booze jockeys, so the application process was opened up to other providers. Rut ro.

The industry group for liquor distributors sued, and in May, a court ruled in their favor. But as no distributor has yet been licensed, there is no one who may legally transport cannabis. This led to dispensaries attempting to stock up like it was End of Days, as they have no idea when deliveries will happen again. In the past month, prices for a wholesale pound jumped from $1,600 to $2,600. As of July 7, the governor endorsed a “state of emergency,” as dispensaries were beginning to run out.

This will allow the state to consider additional transportation options.

How much can I buy? Up to an ounce of flower, 3.5 grams of concentrate, and edibles are limited to 100 mg.

And use what you buy, because you can’t fly home with it.
