OPINION Letters

—Anne Wolff

NOBODY TOLD ME… Why don’t I hear about the changes to the laws when they happen in Bend?

Nobody told me it was Ok to talk and text on my cell phone while driving, but I see people doing just that, with impunity, daily while driving around Bend!

Nobody told me it was Ok to not stop at stop signs if I think it’s clear, but I see people doing just that multiple times daily as I drive around Bend!

Now just last night 7-4-16 I found out about the latest change in the law!

Nobody told me it was Ok to detonate illegal fireworks both in Bend and Deschutes County! Judging by the volume I observed last night in the vicinity of 27th street and Reed Market Rd., it’s obviously legal!

The reason I know the laws have been changed is surely our law enforcement agencies wouldn’t allow such blatant disregard for the law...

Would they?

I’d like to buy you a cup of Palate's coffee for resisting the urge to print political opinions this week. I enjoy the commentary on local issues, and was happy to see the Source back on that track this week!

Spy Games firework that someone carelessly launched over the crowd that night, McDonalds cups, plastic straws, a bag of peanuts. I could throw a hell of a party with what was left behind. Dear Bend, we can do better than this, with one simple act....RESPECT. Hey Source peeps, can we please talk about this issue in our community? I have photos of the trash “organized neatly” that I collected and snapped on the butte. I would love to get some dialogue going so as a community we can begin to come up with ideas to reduce the lack of respect that is part of and growing within our community. It all starts with each one of us; we can be the change that we want to see.

IN RESPONSE TO, “A SKI VILLAGE AT MT. BACHELOR" Personally I am waiting for a Grand Hotel at the top of Bachelor. That way I could stay there year round and avoid all the crazy Disneyland Nature Park enthusiasts. But only if it is a rotating hotel so I don't have to move to another room with a different view. The bigger question is will my wifi work at such altitudes?

But you would have to throw in a Helipad so I could avoid traffic issues completely. But let's not stop there...dig down into the core of Bachelor and create a series of tunnels so scientists could come from all over to study human skiing techniques. Perhaps Bend needs a new slogan.

DEAR BEND, WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS

LIVABILITY PROJECT AND DISABILITY

Dear Bend, We can do better than this. On Monday night we celebrated our freedom, and living in a country that allows us great liberties.

As I stood atop a Butte near to my house to watch fireworks together with more people than I have ever collectively seen in this space, I knew that the aftermath of this celebration would likely leave me a little disappointed.

How lucky are we to have this undeveloped beautiful place in our community? A unique place where 360 degree views allow for amazing glimpses of this place we ALL call HOME? A place that we are all FREE to visit, a wild space that is OURS (not yours but OURS), because of this FREEDOM. I went back to the butte this morning with a garbage bag in tow, and bowed my head in shame, for I know others have cleaned up too, and even still, I picked up so much “FREEDOM” that was left behind. The irony of bottle tops with “Worth Sharing” printed on them, cigarette butts, copious USA-colored beer cans, so many broken bottles tossed from the top, their tiny shards too small to begin to capture, plastic bottles, a lighter with a mustache on it, a Birchbox, a Persol sunglasses case, a pair of red, white, and blue boxer shorts, a patriotic climbing rope left tied around one of the old Junipers, the

The focus of the Livability Project was well intended. Unfortunately, a very significant aspect for everyone in the community to consider did not make it onto the radar of attendees, in spite of the good intentions of Bend 2030.

Approximately 20 percent of the population has a permanent disability. Many people also experience temporary disabilities from illness, accident, or sports injuries. Disability does not discriminate and crosses all age groups and socio-economic categories. The aging population has the highest rate of disability, with 27.5 percent of persons in Oregon in the 65-74 age group having a permanent disability. It rises to 53 percent for folks 75 and older. How many times has Bend been recognized as a great place to visit and/or retire? Seniors and all people with disabilities want and need to participate in life in the community with friends, companions, family and co-workers. Every accessibility challenge for seniors and people with disabilities also impacts their companions and their ability to participate in the fabric of life in the community. If one person in the party relies on mobility equipment, then the decisions about where to go and what kind of activities will depend on accessible elements.

Seniors and people with disabilities rely almost exclusively on vehicles for transportation to shopping, dining, events, activities, tourism, getting to work and all manner of interests.

And, the vehicles used for transportation also need to be able to park. People who rely on DMV-issued parking placards are seriously underserved by the mere minimum standards for required numbers of designated parking spaces.

This is just a snippet of information that attendees would have learned if even one of them had chosen to visit the Disability for a Day workshop. You read that right. Not even one registered participant came to the disability workshop. We filled the lobby of the Health Careers Center, so it is not as though the workshop could not be found. The ironic thing is that every one of the 200+ people who registered and who were so interested in the livability of Bend will at some point in their life or the life of a loved one, will experience the challenges that so many in the community have to deal with on a daily basis—26 years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Disability is a reality. It is an issue that needs to be seriously planned for, for the benefit of every resident and visitor to this community.

Accessible elements serve everyone!

OPINION Channeling White Guilt

T

his week saw two black men killed by police officers in two days, under questionable circumstances.

During a #BlackLivesMatter protest in Dallas - a city that has embraced and implemented police reforms more than most - five police officers were killed by a sniper who said he wanted to kill white people and, in particular, white cops.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / July 14, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

These incidents are only the latest in a long string of violent, often deadly, interactions between black people and law enforcement officers. The fact that these incidents are broadcast widely on social media, then disseminated on national news channels, means white people are getting a glimpse into a world we were largely oblivious to a few short years ago. Every time we log onto Facebook or sign in to twitter, we are faced with overwhelming evidence that we have created and maintained a system that doles out drastically different treatment to our black and brown brothers and sisters. Many white people are taking a long, hard look in the mirror and finding a lot of embarrassing blemishes.

But white guilt won't make black lives better, unless that guilt is channeled into productive action. Hashtags are great for calling out hate, but not terribly effective at stopping it.

What can white people in Bend do to make a difference?

2) Listen more. Resist the urge to show empathy by sharing your own stories of feeling discriminated against. Keep the focus on the folks whose friends and loved ones are dying in alarming numbers, instead of turning the conversation around to yourself.

3) Show Up for Racial Justice: showingupforracialjustice.org The Portland chapter of this national organization recently rallied in front of the downtown Justice Center to demand police accountability and racial justice. Dozens of white people held signs proclaiming Black Lives Matter and White Silence Equals Violence. According to Stand Up for Racial Justice PDX volunteer Kari Koch, “Ultimately, what we want to do is talk to white people and organize white people for racial justice broadly.”

Charlene Carruthers, national director of Black Youth Project 100, told the Washington Post, "There is no need to hide behind black or people of color organizations. Commit yourself to organizing poor and working class white folks. We are capable of organizing our communities. Our children need everyday white folks to work harder to ensure that black women don’t have to worry about dying after failing to signal properly, walking while transgender, or trying to protect their children.”

Bicycle Re-Source of Bend Receives $2,000 Grant Funding will bring more bikes to more people who need them

7 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 28 / July 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By M.W. Hill

Bicycle Re-Source of Bend brings bikes to those who need them most. Photos courtesy of Bicycle Re-Source of Bend.

L

ast year, Bicycle Re-Source of Bend (BRoB) refurbished and donated 463 bicycles to people who needed them in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties.

This year, they may be able to increase that number, thanks to a $2,000 grant from Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation (CCUIF).

Founded in 2010, non-profit BRoB’s mission is “…to refurbish and donate bicycles to community members in need, teach bicycle maintenance, repair and safety classes for fees and no charge, and host no-cost bicycle maintenance work days at local shelters and schools,” explains Rod Miller, BRoB volunteer and board member.

This mission is accomplished with the help of more than 50 dedicated volunteers and collaborations with approximately 63 community outreach organizations that aid in identifying individuals in need. Bikes are only distributed after a safety check and any necessary parts are replaced.

Partner organizations include Habitat for Humanity, Family Access Network, Neighborhood Impact, Saving Grace, Bethlehem Inn, and the Latino Community Associa-

tion. For a listing of all partners that can be contacted to facilitate bike matches, see the BRoB webpage. The site notes, in many cases, “These bikes are a person’s only form of transportation.”

nization, CCUIF, has a long and proud history of giving back to their homeland territory in southwestern Oregon, including Coos, Deschutes, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, and Lane counties.

Linking folks in need with bikes is only part of BRoBs community presence. They act as an education hub as well, hosting donation-based clinics for fixing flats, building wheel-sets, maintenance and basic to advanced bicycle repair in group settings or one-on-one. Donations range from $10 to $50.

Striving to offer assistance in youth education, strengthen youth and family, and provide positive youth development, in 1997 the Tribe formalized its tradition of philanthropy by establishing the CCUIF. Since the CCUIF’s inception, more than $14 million in grants have been awarded to community nonprofit organizations.

BRoB received the $2,000 grant at a ceremony on June 23 at the Seven Feathers Convention Center in Canyonville, along with 64 other grant recipients. According to grant writer Maureen Parco, BRoB volunteer and board member, the funds can be used for “payroll to train and certify volunteers and manage the refurbishment of bicycles for donation and safety clinics, transportation of bicycles to and from warehouses for repair and distribution to agencies, schools and festivals, and bicycle parts and helmets.”

“For most of us, bicycles are recreational equipment,” says Parco, “but children in poverty don’t always have the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle while experiencing the beauty of Bend. With the help of CCUIF, the BRoB will make a difference in these children’s lives.” SW

Local Arborist Does Business by Bike

Recumbent Bikes Offer True Comfort 9

Eliminates Gas Stops Loose Stool Ends Inflammation Activates the Immune System Tree care by bicycle.

Riding a trike is just plain fun.

A local arborist gave up his vehicle for an electric bicycle and says he now makes more money working fewer hours, giving him more time to play in the mountains.

Recumbent bikes and trikes are gaining popularity, and Backcountry Recumbent Bicycles at Tumalo Junction offers more of the feet-first, pedal-powered vehicles under one roof than any other bike shop in the Northwest.

Sean Shriver has done professional tree care for 23 years, mostly in Austin, Texas, where he owned a thriving business with a 4X4 truck, tree chippers, and employees. But his true loves were always snowboarding and mountain biking.

Tree care is a somewhat seasonal business, so he taught snowboarding in Fort Collins, Colo., and at Mt. Bachelor for several winters, returning to Austin each spring to run his tree care company. Two years ago, he moved to Bend full-time, bringing his business, Sean Shriver Tree Care (arboristbend. com), along with him.

It didn’t take him long to figure out how much easier it was to ride a bike around his new hometown than his old one. He says, “I got to Bend and realized, I don’t need a car. I can use my girlfriend’s van to haul branches and debris when needed, but this way, I don’t have to work as much.”

Instead of spending several thousand dollars a year on car insurance, gasoline, vehicle maintenance and repairs, he rides a used Juiced Bikes Utility Electric Bicycle with a front-wheel drive battery that has a 50-mile range and a 350-pound hauling capacity. He takes it on sales calls, errands, and supply trips to the chainsaw shop and hardware stores.

“People laugh at me for trying to run a business from a bike, but they should think twice because it’s very efficient. I have to charge it every night, so it probably costs me about four cents a mile. This one can go 20 miles per hour, so when I’m riding around town, I’m going close to the speed of traffic.

Since scaling down his business and running it primarily by bike, he says, “It’s been a better life for me. This is more profitable.

Before, everybody got a little bit of what I made; I ended up paying everyone else.

I wanted to live a lifestyle where I could mountain bike and snowboard all over the West, and this allows me to do that.”

According to Backcountry owner Mark Waters, riders are drawn by a combination of comfort, stability, and sheer joy. The former road racer turned long-distance tour biker first tried a recumbent bike in the mid 1990s on a long group tour in Colorado.

“It was like the sky opened up and God spoke to me,” Water says. “What a revelation. Why would anyone subject themselves to the torture of a skinny bike seat?”

Shortly thereafter, he started touring on a recumbent bike, and about 10 years ago, tried out a recumbent tricycle. He says, “I didn’t even make it across the parking lot before I knew I wanted to tour on it.”

When he moved to Central Oregon, he stepped off the traditional career path and started peddling recumbent. In 2012, he set up shop on Industrial Way in Bend. “Some years we tripled our sales,” he says. He moved the shop to Tumalo Junction a year ago, where recumbent trikes account for nearly 80 percent of sales.

“Eighty-five to 90 percent of our tricycle customers buy a trike because they have no other alternative,” he says. “One of our customers had suffered a stroke, and we routed all the controls to one side (of the trike) for him. This guy hammers out 70, 80 miles a day on his trike, even though he can barely walk.”

Another customer with Lou Gehrig’s disease is on his way to the starting line of the Tour Divide, a self-supported, ultra-cycling challenge from Montana to Mexico. Waters says, “He needs crutches to walk, so he’s attaching them to the back of his seat. He’s going downhill fast, but he refuses to go quietly.”

Mobility impairments and balance limitations aside, “The main reason we exist is the joy of pedaling,” he says. “Going down steep hills in one of these is the most fun thing I’ve ever done with tires.” SW

BIKE, BIKE, BABY!

Some local riders prefer sticking to the trails, like the bicycle mechanics we interviewed at Sunnyside Sports, Hutch’s, and Bend Velo, each of whom is lusting after a different type of mountain bike.

When they need to replace or upgrade parts on their top-of-theline mountain bikes, they can order locally-assembled, high-end components from the fine fellows at Hope Components, a European company that just opened its first U.S. assembly division in Bend.

W

hether you’re a mountain biker, road rider, cyclocross racer, or bicycle commuter, you probably spend a decent amount of time pedaling.

Bend’s urban infrastructure isn’t exactly the most bike-welcoming terrain, but plenty of locals prefer riding a bike anywhere they can, like Sean Shriver, who runs his tree-trimming business from an electric bike.

Local geologist Matthias Perle hauls his two kids to school and back on the back of an electric cargo bike.

And graphic artist David Caplan, an avid mountain and road biker, uses an old Sun Fox cruiser to get around town during all seasons.

BIKE ISSUE

At the other end of the bicycle spectrum, steel-frame bikes are making more inroads lately, in the form of the J. Livingston bike. These beauties are custom-made right here in Bend, and named after local biking icon, John Livingston.

Unicycling is taking off, particularly with kids at Pine Ridge Elementary School, where dozens of students are learning to ride the single-wheeled contraptions before school, thanks to a unicycling club. Bend Parks & Recreation also offers unicycling camps and workshops.

Whatever type of biking you enjoy, Ride On!

Custom commuter bike building gains momentum in Bend

When friends of John’s and mine would cobble bikes together from a bunch of old bikes, I’d joke, saying, ‘Oh, you’re building a Livingston!’ That got me thinking about a good name to call these very specific, custom, commuter bikes we were building. So, we’ve gone with that name and trademarked it.”

It’s a huge honor to have the bike given my name. Undeserved, but huge,” Livingston said, laughing. I always get really proud riding to work, and even when it’s 25 degrees out, I’ll see a bunch of Livingstons downtown. People commute with them in all weather.”

Customizing for taller women is something particular to the J. Livingston line, according to Power.

I travel to Portland quite a bit and I was thinking about biking more as a mode of transportation, as opposed to racing or mountain biking,” Power said. We need to have more bikes on the roads instead of cars.

I thought, ‘How do we do that?’ Well, Portland has this excellent model; you see people all over commuting to work.”

"People are passionate about these bikes,” Livingston said. They get emotionally attached, you know, if they get that really good sounding bell. They love their lights, their fenders. And it’s things like that that make you want to ride your bike more.”

According to Power, Bend Velo is now selling, on average, about 15 J. Livingston bikes per month, but the true success of the business is in helping the community.

UPGRADED BY HOPE Local mountain biking community gets components boost

I’ve always been too young for coffee.”

If you were to judge his age by the one-handed wheelie he’s performing in his Instagram photo, he’s perpetually eleven. Even without the American flag attire, it’s obvious, he is pure passion and freedom on wheels. “That’s what riding a bike is all about,” he tells me.

Hope Tech embraces this desire. Twenty-five years ago, the company was started in the United Kingdom by two former Rolls Royce Aerospace employees, who decided to embark on a similar journey toward freedom. They’ve been creating high-quality bicycle components for professional and amateur mountain bikers ever since.

Just as Hope Tech is constantly pushing the envelop for mountain biking, Yuroshek is doing the same in his own right. He describes to me this evolution though a neatly groomed beard and a grin. It started too young to remember.

Riding with friends. Someone – probably Yuroshek—got the brilliant idea to lay a piece of plywood over a brick. The pile of bricks grew until the riders were launching themselves over garbage cans.

Despite numerous fractures and scars, Yuroshek has gone on to compete in the Downhill and Enduro circuits. From his 1974 Schwinn, which he brings out on special occasions, to the unicycle that sits like an easter egg in the corner of the Hope Tech shop, he can and will ride anything with wheels. If it were up to him, it would all be outfitted with Hope Tech components.

end’s thriving mountain biking community just got a shot of adrenaline. As of June, the internationally established mountain bike components manufacturer, Hope Technology, has opened its U.S. assembly division in our backyard. The company designs, manufactures, and tests nearly every part of a mountain bike and accepts custom orders from avid cross-country riders as well as elite downhill competitors. They also provide a new, local resource for after-market mountain bike components.

Phil Dean and Dennis Yuroshek are the brain and brawn behind Hope Technology of Bend. Dean communicates directly with the original overseas branch of Hope Tech-

nology, placing custom orders once a week to be assembled in the Bend shop. While Dean recently relocated from Houston to pursue this endeavor, Yuroshek is quite a few years removed from his New Jersey roots. He is active in Bend’s mountain biking community; he has raced competitively and has put in time wrenching at local bike shops. This month, he happens to be featured on the cover of Decline magazine.

Yuroshek, 29, is alone and already busy with orders when I arrive at the Hope Technology workspace. Assuming he’s groggy from participating in Bend’s 4th of July Freedom Ride the day before, I offer him coffee. He smiles and declines my offer, saying, “I’m too young for coffee.

The entire process, from state-of-the-art design, to Yuroshek’s meticulous assembly, is based on quality and efficiency. Hope Technology works with many of the local bike shops, including The Hub and WebCyclery.

Hope Tech’s new Bend location is not a traditional shop that you’d wander into carrying a deflated tire or tweaked handlebars. Most of their orders are shipped out, or delivered directly. Customers can order and upgrade practically any part of their mountain bike through hopetech.com. The process is simple. A custom order will be made. Yuroshek and Dean will personally assemble your components. And you’ll be back on the trails in no time—faster than ever.

A BALANCING ACT FOR PINE B I K E I S S U E RIDGE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS Young riders learn one-wheeled skills in unicycle club

By Megan French

15 buy one single unicycle; his goal being $150. Within two weeks, he had raised $720 and was able to purchase nine unicycles, thanks to the generous help of Webcyclery, a local bicycle shop.

Nearly 90 students now participate in Pine Ridge Elementary School’s before-school training sessions, and the interest is growing as quickly as the students’ skills. Thomason jokes that her own unicycling skills are lacking these days due to the 46 unicycles sitting in the gymnasium closet that all need tuning, fixing, and inflating.

Thomason uses the criteria from the International Unicycling Federation (IUF) to determine which skills to teach the students and to assess their proficiency. According to the IUF, Freestyle Level 1 students learn to mount the unicycle, ride with the seat out in front, and more.

“Beginning riders are finding their balance, learning to keep pedaling, free mount the unicycle, and make big turns. The intermediate riders have more control. They can change speeds, make sharper turns, hop, idle in place, navigate small obstacles, and play modified sports.”

The IUF has a 10-level ranking system for its Freestyle standards; a few fifth graders have made it to Level 6. These students are able to perform intermediate mounts, figure 8s, unicycle hops, backwards cycling, one-footed riding, and a move called Walk the Wheel, which requires a great amount of balance and concentration. Walk the Wheel looks like regular unicycling, but instead of pedaling, the feet are placed on the

“BEGINNING RIDERS ARE FINDING THEIR BALANCE, LEARNING TO KEEP PEDALING, FREE MOUNT THE UNICYCLE, AND MAKE BIG TURNS. THE INTERMEDIATE RIDERS HAVE MORE CONTROL. THEY CAN CHANGE SPEEDS, MAKE SHARPER TURNS, HOP, IDLE IN PLACE, NAVIGATE SMALL OBSTACLES, AND PLAY MODIFIED SPORTS.”

front of the wheel and the wheel is pushed down toe to heel, toe to heel, to propel the rider forward.

The Pine Ridge Unicycling Club not only meets for practice in the morning, but also participates in school assemblies and community events. The club can be seen at the Bend Christmas Parade, Earth Day Parade, and occasionally on a group ride in the Old Mill.

The unicycle club meets four times a week before school, during Thomason’s prep period, from 8 to 8:45am, with beginner and intermediate sections. Students between third and fifth grade can participate, and all are welcome.

In 2009, a group of students approached PE Teacher Carisa Thomason, asking to show off their unicycling skills in class.

Thomason agreed, and a unicycle renaissance began.

With the help of a student-generated Kickstarter and a teacher grant submitted by Thomason, the local club now has more than 20 unicycles for students to borrow and ride.

Ten-year-old Owen Smith created the Kickstarter campaign to

The students are gone for summer vacation, but when asked about the future of the club, Thomason responded, “We are going to keep doing what we are doing; teaching kids to ride unicycles, learning more skills, participating in community events, and having fun.”

For those interested in learning to unicycle, Thomason suggests watching YouTube videos at home, taking a Bend Parks and Rec class, or (if you are a Pine Ridge student), joining her club.

For those in the market for a unicycle, she recommends doing research to determine what size to get, and to focus on quality.

“Look at spending at least $100 or more,” she says.

THE BIKE GUYS’ BIKES

R

iding in Bend is serious business: a quick Google search of “Bend bike shops” brings up 20 different locations. Even with so much competition, these shops thrive thanks to the efforts of their knowledgeable and passionate staff members. These gearheads keep the chains running smoothly for Bend’s cyclists, but what turns their wheels? We asked three local bike mechanics how and what they like to ride.

ADRIAN HIGHAM Hutch’s (Westside), bike mechanic Biking Style: “I prefer riding mountain bikes. I personally ride a longer travel, more aggressive, enduro, free ride-type bike. That’s kind of where my expertise is. I’m versed in road bikes as well, but this is a mountain bike town.

There’s more going on with mountain biking—you’re hitting jumps, slashing turns. It reminds me more of snowboarding or skiing.”

Wheels You’re Lusting For: “That’s tough because there’s so many

good bikes now. I’m waiting on the new Specialized Enduro to come out. It’s probably going to drop in the next month or two. I’m excited for that. I kind of wish we had more downhill terrain to ride the big bikes on. Bachelor just opened up, so I’ll be shredding up there a bit.”

TORY SOX Bend Velo, service manager Biking Style: “Personally, I do a lot of mountain biking. I also do a little bit

of gravel biking and road touring. I kind of do everything. I got a commuter bike that I ride to work and all that stuff. But the one I like doing the most is definitely mountain biking. I mostly ride cross country, endurance-type stuff.”

Wheels You’re Lusting For: “Any decent full suspension mountain bike today is pretty bitchin’. Right now I’m riding a Knolly. Bend Cyclery sells them.

It’s f-ing awesome. All high-end mountain bikes are pretty much awesome right now. If you’re going to spend $5000 on a mountain bike, it should be awesome. (laughs) I’m also in the process of learning how to build frames and weld, so I’ll eventually be making my own bikes.”

Tory Sox of Bend Velo with his 1980 Schwinn Traveler 650b Conversion.

M AT T H I C K E Y Sunnyside Sports, service manager Biking Style: “Dirt. (laughs) I get bored on the road. I never get bored on the dirt. It’s always dynamic and different every time you go. Because the conditions are always changing, it’s kind of a mental game where you have all these different factors and you have to put them together like Tetris to see what works.”

Matt Hickey of Sunnyside Sports with an Ibis Mojo 3.

Wheels You’re Lusting For: “I actually just bought my dream bike: the Ibis Mojo 3. I’ve got a couple rides in so far, and I’m extremely impressed with it. As someone who’s worked in bike shops for a few years, I’ve ridden a lot of nice bikes. This one was beyond my expectations. It’s very playful and maneuverable, while stable. It’s just a fantastic ride.”

SOUND

Twice as Happy on Half as Much A conversation with Dave Wakeling of The English Beat

By Jared Rasic 19 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 28 / July 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he English Beat have had a long and storied career since their 1978 debut, when they burst forth on the skapunk/reggae scene in England. Technically, the band is called The Beat, but in North America they’re known as The English Beat, and in Australia they’re The British Beat. Consisting of Dave Wakeling on vocals and guitar, Ranking Roger on vocals, Andy Cox on guitar, David Steele on bass, Everett Morton on drums, and Saxa on the saxophone, their sound was original from the jump.

In a time where most music sounded the same, The Beat sang about sociopolitical issues and spoke truth to power when no one else would. After the band split in 1983, Cox and Steele went on to form Fine Young Cannibals, while Wakeling and Roger formed General Public.

The new setup is pretty interesting. Dave Wakeling (who has lived in California for decades now) tours as The English Beat throughout America, and Ranking Roger tours the UK as The Beat (or sometimes The New English Beat). Wakeling’s iteration of the group will come through Bend next week for Munch & Music.

We spoke to Wakeling for 90 minutes about subjects ranging from Brexit to gun control to tiny houses. Here is an excerpt from that conversation.

On his current tour: Dave Wakeling: Fantastic! It’s been a

stretch for us. Most of our shows so far have been with Soul Asylum. They’ve got some fans in there where we’re not really their style: Happy dance music. It’s not quite angry enough, so it makes us have to work harder. But I think we’ve turned quite a few Soul Asylum fans, although

off. We didn’t mind them getting close, but we didn’t want them to bite our head off.

On travel: DW: Well, it’s kind of seasonal to be

honest. Sometimes places are really nice in the spring, but they can get a bit

"We wanted to prevent the establishment from biting our head off. We didn’t mind them getting close, but we didn’t want them to bite our head off. " - Dave Wakeling

it’s usually “Save It For Later” that does it. Three chords, rockin' out.

On his sound: DW: There was a lot of three-chord music that was getting signed. Our label didn’t want us to sound like everything else in the charts. They wanted us a bit more commercial, but not that much more commercial. We wanted to prevent the establishment from biting our head

extreme in the summer. Oregon’s nice in the summer. It’s all all right to me. It can be 20 degrees outside and I’m on the tour bus and I can just look at it through the window. It’s a lovely way to see America.

I prefer the places in the summer where people are hiking and being chased by bears.

On the current political climate: DW: It’s become apparent to people

that the middle class that was set up in America and England in the 50s and 60s is only there because it was built on the backs of other people who were working hard and getting paid next to nothing whether that was “Indentured Servants” in our own countries or the use of cheap labor abroad. Now people are saying they want their America back but what really happened was that the playing field has started leveling out and everybody’s more or less getting paid the same money for the same work. It’s very difficult for people to get rid of generational advantage.

On Brexit: DW: People in England decided, on balance, that it was better to be oppressed by people you could pronounce the last name of rather than be oppressed by some anonymous bureaucrat in Belgium. But there’s no sense of freedom; we all know that. Freedom’s just a new deodorant. But if people feel like they’re not being represented, they can turn to the populist and the populist can turn totalitarian very quickly.

On tiny homes: DW: Aside from the affordability, there’s something deeply political behind living in tiny homes. Not consciously, it’s an evolving thing. The whole world, you can call it the American dream, but the same is true in England: “Own your own home!” But when you think about it, really, that dream is a prison that keeps you minding your manners for the next 30 years so you can make payments. It’s a way of socially neutering you. You’re bought and sold, gotta do as you’re told.

With this tiny homes thing, people have got their home paid for. They’re not beholden. They don’t have to watch their Ps & Qs just because they’ve got a mortgage. I think things are changing. People can be twice as happy on half as much. SW

Midnight Sounds Grace Potter glows with and without The Nocturnals

By Jared Rasic

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals formed in Waitsfield, Vermont, in 2002.

Potter, drummer Matt Burr, and guitarist Scott Tournet initially self-produced their own records and toured festivals, primarily with jam bands. Potter self-released two solo albums, 2002’s “Red Shoe Rebel” and 2004’s out-of-print and very expensive “Original Soul,” before her first record with The Nocturnals.

“Nothing But the Water” was self-released in 2005, right before the band signed with Hollywood Records. The record has Potter shredding on the Hammond organ (which she always keeps secondary to her vocals) but the album itself is much closer to Bonnie Raitt with a dash of Norah Jones’ gospel cred. The album is bluesy while also paying tribute to a little soul, funk and country, giving the entire record a timeless feeling.

The Nocturnals' major label debut was 2007's "This is Somewhere," and it almost instantly launched them into a new stratosphere. With songs on “Grey’s Anatomy,” “American Idol” and “ER” and an incredibly popular single in “Ah Mary,” Grace Potter & The Nocturnals were now a known quantity. “This is Somewhere” took a completely different road than “Nothing But the Water.” It is primarily uptempo and guitar heavy, while dispensing with the Hammond altogether.

The band's 2010 self-titled album dabbled in roots rock, power ballads, and Southern rock, while 2012’s “The Lion The Beast The Beat” saw them going more experimental as they started weaving their electronic influences into their bluesy roots. Throughout the genre changes, Potter’s songwriting has remained lyrical, honest and thick with the art of storytelling.

Potter’s next release saw her going solo once again with 2015’s “Midnight,” a genre tightrope walk between dance music, nu-disco, bubblegum pop and hook-heavy singalongs. If the musicianship of the earlier records was what drew in most of the listeners, this might alienate a chunk of the fan base, which would be too bad since “Midnight” is a pop masterpiece. Listening to the album from beginning to end shows how much artistry went into the record without a single second being wasted. This is not a Katy Perry album. Everything that makes Potter brilliant is suffused throughout the album, just in ways not easily found on a first listen.

Grace Potter is still with The Nocturnals, even though we haven’t had a record from them in almost four years.

As much as I hope they release something new soon, if “Midnight” is where Potter’s solo sound is going, then maybe it’ll be okay to take their time. She is going through a musical transformation here, and it’s one that should be incredibly exciting to witness. SW Grace Potter Wednesday, July 20, 6pm Century Center, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend $35

race Potter has had a wide and varied career so far, and she’s only 33. Whether it is her solo career, her work with The Nocturnals, or her collaboration with The Flaming Lips, Potter is a dynamic and powerful vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. The most surprising thing about Potter, though, is how different her sound is from album to album. Even though her voice is always consistent and lovely, her style is unpredictable.

Bend Open Streets Coming in September

hat would you do if your neighborhood didn’t allow cars on the streets for a day? Would you ride your bike, light the BBQ, or challenge your neighbors to a game of street ball?

On Sept. 18, Bend residents will get a taste of what is possible when Open Streets comes to Bend and opens a local neighborhood’s roads to everything but motorized vehicles for an afternoon.

Stroll through some of Redmond’s best gardens this Saturday on the High Desert Garden Tour.

Seven Redmond Gardeners Show Neighbors How It’s Done 23rd Annual High Desert Garden Tour

Inspired by Bogata, Columbia’s world famous “Ciclovía,” where streets are closed to cars every Sunday and on holidays from 7am to 2pm, Open Streets is now active—and wildly successful—in 160 towns and cities of all sizes across the U.S. In cities that have embraced the event, residents use the time to connect, get active, and bring the community together.

Bend Open Streets is an initiative of Commute Options and the City of Bend, and is part of a broader city effort to encourage sustained physical activity, increase community engagement, build support for broader transportation choices and support a vibrant local economy. The event will take place in Bend’s Central District where individuals, nonprofits, community groups and local businesses will be welcome to host activities.

Attendees can expect to see roller-skating, dunk tanks, art hubs, yoga and more throughout the afternoon. Education coordinator for Commute Options and

If you are a gardener who is new to the area, or have recently gotten the itch to start your own garden, you may have heard that the high desert climate makes growing plants difficult.

Don’t put your gardening gloves away just yet. Instead, take a walk through some of the most wildly successful gardens in Redmond for inspiration, education, and motivation.

project coordinator for the event, Brian Potwin, says that St. Charles, one of the event’s sponsors, will host the Fall Kid’s Health Festival on the corner of NE 6th and Olney. “Every half hour they’ll be doing stretching classes, Zumba classes and karate classes that will be led by instructors,” says Potwin. Health screenings will also be conducted at the festival.

Potwin believes the event will be a success. “There have already been 700 responses to the Bend Open Streets Facebook event announcement. We are shooting for 1,000 participants, and we may surpass that number.” He hopes that the success of this pilot event will lead to multiple Open Streets events throughout the year, eventually working up to five per calendar year.

According to Potwin, drivers will have clear detour signs and will be allowed to cross the route at the intersections of NE Greenwood and NE 6th St., NE Hawthorne and NE 3rd St., NE 1st and Greenwood, and NE Olney and NE 3rd St.

All other intersections will be closed to motor vehicles.

In an effort to make Open Streets a positive experience for the whole community, volunteers will be on site and ready to help drivers and pedestrians at the closed-off intersections. They will also assist residents along the route who need to drive during the day.

When asked what members of the community can do to help make Bend Open Streets a success, Potwin believes that the founder of the Open Streets movement, Gil Penalosa's, motto sums it up best, “To enjoy Open Streets, all you need is two feet and a heartbeat.” SW

This Saturday, the Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service and Central Oregon Chapter of OSU Master Gardeners will host the 23rd annual High Desert Garden Tour in Redmond.

The self-guided tour takes participants to seven homes with beautifully landscaped yards and developed gardens that demonstrate what can be achieved in the high desert. The local fundraiser supports the local OSU Horticulture Program and helps local gardeners grow their own successful gardens.

Tour co-director Amy Jo Detweiler explains, “The idea is that you’re going to walk through someone else’s garden and be inspired by something they’ve done or by an interesting design element.”

Master gardeners will be on hand at each location, allowing attendees to connect with experts for education while gaining encouragement from fellow gardeners. A Master Gardener’s booth equipped with educational material and fun activities will be stationed at one of the stops along the way, and the OSU Demonstration Garden will be included in this year’s tour. It features a wide variety of plant material, all labeled with plant characteristics.

Ticket booklets, which provide directions to and information about each of the gardens, on sale at the OSU/Deschutes County Extension Service office and select locations in Bend, Redmond and Prineville. SW

July brings more music festivals to Central Oregon

Newberry Event Music and Arts Festival

The Newberry Event Music and Arts Festival is a Defeat MS benefit that takes place July 21-24.

A

fter the rousing success of 4 Peaks Music Festival, the fine people of Central Oregon and its surrounding environs have a few more multi-day music shows to look forward to. In fact, two festivals are slated for the next two weekends. Powell Butte will host the 9th Annual Crawfest Music Festival July 1517, and La Pine will host the 4th annual Newberry Event Music and Arts Festival July 21-24.

Oregon City. He brought one other band with him, and someone coined the name Crawfest because of my last name of Crawford. The next year four bands came, and now it’s been 30 bands for the last five years. I had no intention of starting a music festival originally, but music is very important, and I saw this event being the highlight of many people’s year. It has really been about the musicians and has developed organically into what it is now.”

The two stages at Crawfest are packed deep with genre-spanning artists both local and domestic. Local favorites like MoWo, Open Defiance, Harley Bourbon, and Tuck and Roll are spread across the weekend but that doesn’t even skim the lineup. Olympia funk band DBST headlines Friday night, indie rock band Pluto the Planet plays midday Saturday, and comedian Ngaio Bealum will bring the jokes Saturday afternoon.

Crawfest 9th Annual Music Festival Crawfest is instantly impressive because of the affordability. Tickets cost $20 a day, $30 for a weekend pass with tent camping, or $60 for a weekend pass with vehicle and tent camping. To see a full three days of music for that price isn’t just rare; it’s all but impossible these days.

The man behind the fest, Jake Crawford, didn’t intend for it to become a festival when it first began. He said, “It all started out by building a stage so my friend’s band, Lowfront, would come over from

The eclectic lineup is definitely purposeful. “Variety is essential,” said Crawford.

“We started out with a lot of punk rock and roll bands. Now we have anything from gospel to heavy metal. We like to say the music at Crawfest is like Central Oregon weather, wait 20 minutes and it will change.”

With vendors like Mongolian Tea House (coffee, tea, espresso), Sons of Beer (BBQ & burgers) and BUZZ’N (sno cones and infused Red Bull), food and beverages are covered. Festival goers will also find artisanal booths with local glass blowers, goat’s milk products, jewelry, and more.

In describing Crawfest for newcomers, Crawford explains, “Overall vibe: laid

The Newberry Event Music and Arts Festival starts at 4:20pm on Thursday, July 21 and runs until 4:20 on Sunday, July 24, because weed, man. The tickets are a bit pricier ($75). But the proceeds support a very good cause. The festival was started in 2013 as a way to raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis, and the this year's festival continues that tradition.

Andy Frasco and the U.N.

Last year, the legendary band Fishbone played Newberry and this year’s lineup is no slouch, either, featuring a diverse and exciting playbill that promises something for everyone. Highlights include Euforquestra out of Iowa City, Iowa, playing Iowa fuse jazz, funk and afro-Caribbean sounds to make for one of the highest energy bands currently touring.

Andy Frasco and the U.N. put on one of the best live shows around with their soulful blues harmonics and euphoric good vibes. Zahira mixes pop, reggae and electronic beats to be one of the most musically diverse acts around.

Combined with wine tasting, yoga, food, live DJ sets, art, and dancing, the vibe at the 2016 Newberry Festival is most definitely conscious. SW Newberry Event Music and Arts Festival July 21-24 DiamondStone Guest Lodges, 16693 Sprague Lp., La Pine Check newberryevent.com for tickets and pricing

Himalayan Bites brings momos to Bend

Brickhouse and Broken Top Make Wine Spectator List Bend may be best known for beer, but at least two local establishments are making a name for themselves in the wine world.

Broken Top Club Restaurant and Brickhouse on Minnesota are both named in Wine Spectator’s August issue, which hits newsstands on July 19. The issue includes the nationally-distributed magazine’s 2016 Restaurant Awards, which highlight restaurants around the world that offer the best wine selections. Brickhouse first made the list in 2011, and Broken Top has been on the list since 2013. To find out who else made the list, visit the searchable database at restaurants.winespectator.com.

Himalayan Bites serves Nepalese momos to the masses. Top, Sha momo. Left bottom, Chicken Curry. Right bottom, owner Tenzin Sherpa.

here are times in life when addiction can take hold of you: drugs, gambling, men, women, food. I’m currently chasing my own dragon right now, getting my fix one dumpling at a time, at Himalayan Bites. Owner Tenzin Sherpa is bringing to Bend the Nepalese comfort food he grew up on, which includes momos, or Nepalese dumplings.

“As they say, knowledge is food for the brain as music is for the soul. I believe good food leads to both soul and your heart,” he says.

Himalayan Bites is best known for hand-made dumplings that are stuffed with meats and veggies, then steamed until they resemble little clouds of savory goodness. Drizzled with a spicy

“As they say, knowledge is food for the brain as music is for the soul.

I believe good food leads to both soul and your heart." -Tenzin Sherpa Sherpa was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, where he spent much of his childhood observing his grandmother cook with precision, love, and passion. “(When I was) growing up as a child, my grandmother had a restaurant, and I would just watch her cook. She was a good one. She is my inspiration for cooking,” he says.

For him, food did more than fill an empty belly; it brought together food and family and brought out the emotions that tie the two together.

tomato sauce, they are far too easy to eat by the dozen. Before you go, be sure to change into stretch pants.

In the Nepali language, “Himalaya” means “mountain range,” so Himalayan food encompasses the cuisine of Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan. According to Sherpa, “Our main goal is to let people experience the food from Nepal and Tibet. I have always had a passion for cooking and a food cart was a great way to introduce our food to the people.”

The concept is simple, but the flavors

are complex. “Our foods are freshly prepared on a regular basis, using herbs and spices from the Himalayas back home, which we import,” says Sherpa.

He is pleased to bring his favorite foods to the place he now calls home.

“I personally feel that I am home because of the mountains and their beauty,” says the 31-year-old entrepreneur. “Bend is a beautiful place and the people are just as awesome as the place itself. Bend in many ways reminds me of back home. They say home is where your heart is, so I am home.”

Bendites craving diversity and foreign flavors will be eager to welcome the Himalayan Bites food cart—and its momos—into their homes, their hearts, and their hollow bellies. SW

Beach Hut Deli Surfs Into Downtown Bend Located in the space formerly occupied

by Cobalt, Dojo, The Downtowner, and Bendistillery’s Tasting Room, Beach Hut Deli is bringing sandwiches—the universally pleasurable, portable meal—back to Brooks Street. This the first out-of-state spot for the California-based franchise.

The menu is exactly what you would expect from a bear-state eatery called Beach Hut Deli. Think lots of avocado and menu items named Malibu, Beach Bikini, and Haole Cheese Steak. A prime example is The Sunburn, featuring grilled chicken, Frank’s Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, onions, bacon, lettuce and buttermilk ranch dressing on a toasted roll. The indoor-outdoor restaurant also offers classic sandwiches, such as turkey and cheese or roast beef, and a selection of salads. Breakfast sandwiches are available during morning hours.

Beach Hut Deli is located at 852 NW Brooks St. in downtown Bend. Hours are 9am to 8pm Monday through Saturday and 10am to 6pm on Sunday. Price range: $7-$17. SW

Two local companies bottling cannabis-infused beverages

ith limited quantities of edibles now on sale to the Oregon recreational marijuana fancier, curious dispensary visitors are finding themselves exposed to a wealth of THC-infused candy, chocolate, cookies, and every other snack-y foodstuff under the sun.

Even more of a surprise to some: there are now two locally-brewed and bottled cannabis-infused beverages to choose from: Magic Number’s ginger beer and “kannabucha” from Bent Beverages, both in Bend.

One of the first canna-beverages to the local market was Magic Number, a line of 12-ounce bottles of ginger beer. The name stems from the fact that each label shows the “magic number” of THC milligrams inside: 3, 10, or 25 at the moment, although a medical card is required for the last one. The Bend-based company plans to release cannabis-infused root beer, chai, tonic, and even coldpressed coffee in the future.

They’re joined in the market by Bent Beverage, which produces “kannabucha” in three flavors, including Berry Bomb and Momo Peach Ginger.

The company—founded by a 10-year marijuana-growing veteran and a Colorado homebrewer—grows all of its own product.

Both companies are committed to using organic

ingredients.

Note: neither of these beverages is alcoholic. Having both booze and THC in the same beverage isn’t something the OLCC is quite ready to wrap its head around, although it has certainly been tried by homebrewers in the past.

Customers without medical marijuana cards can purchase a maximum 15 mg THC dose of edibles per visit to the pot shop at the moment, and all food and drink will list the dosage on the label.

Consumers can find both brands right now at dispensaries such as Jenny’s, Oregrown, and Tokyo Starfish.

But how do they taste? Well, just like ginger beer and kombucha, really—both are quite fine. It’s what comes afterward that makes them, in their own way, just as “adult” a beverage as local craft beer. Our advice for beginners: If you drink, say, a 15 mg-labeled kombucha and nothing happens, do not drink another one immediately!

Give it an hour or so and see how you’re feeling before going nuts with it. SW Two Bend companies are making cannabis-infused beverages. Photo courtesy of Magic Number.

Tarzan, Jane and cultural stagnation

By Jared Rasic 41 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 28 / July 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Tarzan and Samuel L. Jackson swing into action in "The Legend of Tarzan."

S

ometimes it’s easy to describe a movie as a “throwback:” something that would have worked if it had been released in a bygone era with different cultural standards and practices. For example: “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was a throwback to the film serials of the 1930s and 1940s that George Lucas grew up watching. “The Legend of Tarzan” feels like a throwback to the black and white adventure films of the 1940s and 1950s where the hero was white, the damsel was in distress, and the natives were restless.

“The Legend of Tarzan” takes place after the true origin story of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan. It chronicles his return to the Congo to fight slavers and other dastardly villains. The film flashes back to baby Tarzan being raised by apes and growing up in the jungle, but the primary story is a re-civilized Tarzan (back to his birth name of John Clayton III) and his wife Jane as they head back into the jungle. Clayton re-discovering his inner Tarzan is a huge part of the fun of the film.

The problem with throwback films especially in a time when racial, cultural, gender and sexual sensitivity are at an all-time high - is that the movies can tend to play a little old-fashioned. That means that a movie featuring a white savior, a woman in constant need of rescue, and a Congolese warrior named Mbonga might not sit well with a modern audience.

Alexander Skarsgård is a fantastic Tarzan.

He bounces between the noble gentleman and the dangerous jungle man with nuanced ease. His chemistry with Margot Robbie’s Jane is palpable. Robbie adds a wise-cracking badassery to Jane that gives her much more agency and power than the usual damsel in distress, but the character still only exists as a reason for

FILM EVENTS

Clayton to become Tarzan again.

Samuel L. Jackson has a much juicier role than the trailers showed, as the historical figure George Washington Williams, who travels to Africa with John and Jane because he wants to prove the Belgian government is enslaving the Congolese.

His character’s arc provides much of the film’s true drama.

Director David Yates isn’t stupid. He knows that the story of Tarzan is somewhat archaic and plays everything as seriously as he can while building a world where the ridiculousness of some of the action and ideas can exist beside a story featuring African slavery. Yates directed the last four “Harry Potter” films, and he brings the grounding presence he brought to that universe along to “Tarzan.” He ditches the shaky-cam aesthetic he added to that franchise and instead frames and shoots “Tarzan” classically.

The progressively escalating action makes for a great adventure film that eventually runs out of steam by the closing credits. The movie just can’t keep up the pace set by the first two acts, and the finale feels like the air slowly being let out of a balloon.

Watching “Tarzan” is an exercise in not being offended. If viewed through the lens of a 1930s action serial, the film is successful. As a modern action movie it feels too old-fashioned for its own good.

A socially conscious audience in 2016 will find much here to be offended by as well as several clichéd archetypes that might have been better left to history. SW The Legend of Tarzan Dir. David Yates Grade: BNow playing at Old Mill Stadium 16

Papal Basilicas of Rome

This isn’t just a screening of a film, but also a celebration of a major victory. Alaska Gov. Bill Walker canceled the Susitna Dam, which would have been the second tallest dam in the U.S. The team that helped shut it down will be screening a documentary about the community’s efforts to stop the dam, followed by a Q&A.

How much does anyone really know about Roman papal basilicas? What’s a basilica?

It’s a church given special privileges by the pope. Now that we’re learning, this film from Art and Architecture in Cinema will focus on special holy places and the works of art contained within them. Dubbed in English, so bring the reading glasses!

I

don’t remember much detail about Roald Dahl’s 1982 children’s book “The BFG,” but I remember how it made me feel. I know that after I put that book down, the world seemed like a much larger place: a world filled with mysteries I would never understand or even discover. For moments throughout “The BFG” I was transported back to that feeling again, if only briefly.

ly working at the top of his game.

“The BFG” tells the tale of Sophie, a young orphan girl who sees a hooded giant outside her window late one night.

The giant kidnaps her and spirits her away to Giant Country, a place not on any map, inhabited by a handful of other giants who love the taste of humans.

Luckily, the giant who took Sophie is The Big Friendly Giant, who would rather eat snozzcumbers and catch dreams than eat a little girl. They become best friends and go on adventures, and everyone (except the bad giants) lives happily ever after.

Up until the final act of the film, I thought I was watching an absolute classic, but there is a serious case of tonal whiplash that threatens to derail the entire movie. Before Sophie, The BFG has another child companion who was tragically eaten by the other giants. When Sophie finds the dead child’s dusty room filled with his drawings and plans for the future, it is a haunting moment played beautifully by 11-year old Ruby Barnhill.

Ten minutes later we get pratfalls and fart jokes, which, while true to the book, don’t seem as organic to the tone of the film Spielberg was making.

“The BFG” is directed by Steven Spielberg, who fills every frame of the movie with iconic and memorable imagery that makes the world of Giant Country feel like a lived-in place. While the films aren’t remotely comparable, “The BFG” made me think of “Independence Day: Resurgence” in how they’re both primarily special effects-driven films, but “Resurgence” felt like a video game, whereas this had me captivated.

The section of the film where Sophie and The BFG go hunting for dreams is one of the most astoundingly shot and imagined bits of filmmaking I’ve seen all year. Even though he mostly backs away from some of the bigger ideas and darker themes, Spielberg is still assured-

Mark Rylance (fresh off his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for “Bridge of Spies”) is The BFG, and his work vocally as well as in the motion capture animation is breathtaking. The range of emotions given to this animated creation is groundbreaking, and I never looked at the BFG as anything other than a living, breathing character.

The third-act problems aside, “The BFG” is a big hearted and beautiful family film with some of the most astounding imagery of the year. Whether you are a child or an adult fan of the novel, there is magic to be had in this movie, if you know where to look. SW

"The Secret Life of Pets"

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

DARK HORSE: “Dark Horse” is the inspirational and heartwarming true story about a barmaid in a small town in South Wales who decides to breed a racehorse. She names the horse Dream Alliance, and some of the villagers decide to help her with funding and advice. To tell anymore would be a disservice, as this is one of the loveliest and life-affirming documentaries of the last few years. Take the whole family to see it. Tin Pan Theater

FINDING DORY: Pixar waited 13 years to release a sequel to one if its most beloved films, so we can only hope it will reach the original’s greatness. With “Cars 2,” Pixar proved it wasn’t infallible when it came to their sequels, but after last year’s masterpiece “Inside Out,” it seems like they’re on a bit of a creative hot streak. Let’s hope it will be more than just “cute” and reach the emotional highs of “Inside Out,” “Toy Story 3” and “Up.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX FREE STATE OF JONES: Matthew McConaughey has had a career resurgence that rivals that of John Travolta in “Pulp Fiction.”

The difference being that McConaughey is always fun to watch, even in garbage. “Free State of Jones” has good intentions and could have been an excellent movie under an auteur’s hands, but director Gary Ross spent too long making “Hunger Games” movies to have the proper eye for the subject matter.

McConaughey plays Newt Knight, a Southern farmer who rebelled against the Confederacy by becoming a leader of guerrilla soldiers. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE: The thing that made the original “Independence Day” so much fun was watching Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum bounce off of each other flawlessly while big landmarks exploded beautifully. Goldblum returns for the new film, but Smith’s character died between movies, so he’s replaced with Liam Hemsworth. A bunch of stuff still blows up. Two problems: 1) Hemsworth is no Will Smith, and 2) We’ve seen a lot of things blow up beautifully in the intervening years since the original film. This sequel will need to offer something novel to jaded moviegoers if it doesn’t want to be ignored. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

NOW YOU SEE ME 2: The original “Now You See Me” piled on twist after twist until the story didn’t make sense anymore. Now we see The Four Horsemen take their magic tricks globally to expose unlawful practices of a tech magnate. These movies exist in an alternative universe where magicians can save the world, so expect some goofy, plot-driven fun. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BFG: The trailers for this aren’t exactly mind-blowing, but if anyone deserves our benefit of the doubt it’s Steven Spielberg.

Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, The BFG tells the story of a young girl and

her adventures with a big, friendly giant. The book was surprisingly dark for a children’s novel, so hopefully the film finds a tonal balance between the seriousness of some of the subject matter and the lightheartedness Spielberg has been bringing to his films over the last decade. Either way, the film will be a visual marvel. See full review, p 42. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN: The timing for this film isn’t the best, as most of the marketing campaign is focusing on women as damsels in distress and Tarzan as a white savior helping the indigenous. Director David Yates knocked the last few “Harry Potter” movies out of the park, so hopefully his experienced eye will also bring some subtlety to a story that might not play very well in 2016. If the film is entertaining as a goofy throwback, then hopefully it won’t play as culturally insensitive or too old-fashioned. See full review, p 41. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE MEDDLER: Susan Sarandon plays a lonely, aging widow who follows her daughter to Los Angeles in the hopes of reigniting her life. She first meddles in her daughter’s life, only to find that there are many other people who need her help as well. This is a heartfelt dramedy that actually plays much better than it sounds. Tin Pan Theater THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR: The third film in the series of fun action/horror flicks where for 12 hours once a year, all crime is legal. The original was a home invasion flick.

The sequel showed the action on the streets, and “Election Year” should delve fully into violent political satire. Hopefully, the film will subtly take the current political climate to task without fully delving into preachy commentary. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS: Even though the film looks chock full of cute animals and family-friendly shenanigans, the real draw here is Louis C.K. doing the voice of the main canine. Hopefully, his unique blend of self-deprecation and hope shines through and isn’t completely overshadowed by poop jokes and inane set pieces. This animated film is going to make all of the money, regardless of quality, because every kid who saw “Finding Dory” in the theater saw the preview for this and is already ridiculously excited. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE SHALLOWS: This is being hailed as the best shark movie since “Jaws,” and since that is one of the few perfect movies ever made, that’s saying something. “The Shallows” sees Blake Lively as a surfer stuck on a rock in shallow water as a shark circles, waiting for the tide to come in. The trailers are gorgeous, the plot is tight and focused, and Lively is genuinely a talented actor, so full-blown excitement for this one seems like a good call.

Wade into this one; the water’s fine. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SW

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE: A buddy comedy/action flick starring The Rock and Kevin Hart seems like something that should have existed years ago. Kevin Hart plays a regular Joe who gets sucked into an old high school friend’s current spy lifestyle. Even in the very worst of movies, The Rock is always worth watching. Combining his oversized charisma with Kevin Hart’s unhinged energy should hopefully make for a comedy classic.

Let’s Pokémon Go for a Walk

Exploring Bend through new mobile game

Join the rest of Bend at the Cascade Cycling Classic’s Downtown Twilight Criterium on Saturday, July 23.

A lot of people will comprehend those statements, but for the confused and uninitiated, I’m talking about Pokémon, a now 20-year-old franchise about weird, colorful monsters. These genre-spanning creatures invaded pop culture through multiple television shows, movies, books, toys, clothes, songs, games, and anything and everything else. They originated, however, in a 1995 Japanese video game.

In the original game, the goal is to become the very best Pokémon Trainer by catching all 150 Pokémon and battling them against other trainers. Its mixture of exploration and tactics provided myself and millions of other kids perfect distractions from unimportant things like homework and chores. I dedicated countless hours to perfecting my team, exploring the game’s expansive world, and memorizing stats and names that will never help me secure a bank loan, yet they are ingrained in my brain. Pokémon was this amazing fantasy that I always wanted to live in.

As of Thursday, July 7, that fantasy has become reality… sort of.

A new way to play I’d heard about Pokémon Go a few times prior to its release: nothing detailed or exciting, just that it was a free app that would allow people to play Pokémon on their smartphones. When it was released in the U.S. last week, a couple of my friends vaguely talked about exploring town and catching Pokémon in the street. Intrigued, I immediately deleted those silly dating apps to make room on my phone for Pokémon Go. My Pokémon journey started during my lunch break. Initially, I thought it was simply an updated version of the original game: I created my character, was placed in a virtual world, and then asked to select my first Pokémon.

Guided by nostalgia and the fact that he is objectively the best starter Pokémon, I choose Squirtle again.

And then it happened.

Squirtle appeared in front of me. Not in the virtual world, though. He was

Mt. Bachelor Bike Park

Get up off that couch, get outside and go Pokémon!

right in front of me, on the sidewalk, staring me down. I couldn’t believe it! I was face-to-phone with a Pokémon.

I was experiencing the game’s augmented reality feature, which uses a phone’s camera to display Pokémon as if it's directly in front of you. So when a player encounters a Pokémon, it might be standing under the mailbox in their front yard, hiding behind the trees in the park, or (in at least one documented case) chilling on top of the toilet seat. It’s charmingly low quality, but super effective.

While the augmented reality feature is the game’s highlight, its driving mechanic is exploration.

What I originally thought was a map of a fictional, virtual world was actually a map of Bend. The game uses GPS and a crude yet accurate Google Maps wannabe to follow the player’s movement in real-time. Additionally, local landmarks and points of interest are represented as PokéStops (where trainers gain helpful items) and Pokémon Gyms (where trainers can battle with their Pokémon).

Instantly, I was hooked. This was the dream I had unknowingly been dreaming for 20 years, come to life.

Catching more than just Pokémon To be fair, though, the game is not perfect. Trying to be the very best is tough, and my Pokémon journey has been filled with server crashes, screen

freezes, a sore neck, and awkward looks. And I’m not sure it’s the answer to getting youth and adult gamers outside and interacting.

But it’s immediately a different experience than sitting on the couch in front of the television. Players may be focused on that fantastical top layer, but the real world is never completely hidden from view.

On the second and third days of my Pokémon journey, I was joined by my brother. Once rivals forever locked in combat (when it came to Pokémon), we were now a team of explorers, the Lewis and Clark of an already discovered world filled with undiscovered, fake monsters.

As we walked through the Old Mill District, we caught a lot of Pokémon and reveled in being adult children for the day.

As we walked farther, I started looking up more. I noticed all the memorials and plaques that the game marked as PokéStops. I found signs for a fly fishing challenge course spread across Old Mill. I walked a new path that took me further along the Deschutes than I had ever been. And when my phone inevitably died from the exorbitant amount of battery power catching Pokémon requires, I wasn’t even upset.

I was outside on a gorgeous summer afternoon in Bend. Who could complain about that? SW

The Mt. Bachelor Bike Park is now open for the summer. Mountain bikers can explore trails from the top of Pine Marten, including Lava Flow, Cone Run and lower Rattle Snake. Chairlifts open daily at 11am, closing at 5pm on weekdays and 7pm on weekends.

Lift ticket prices vary based on times and ages; riders can also purchase multi-day tickets. New riders are encouraged to visit Mt. Bachelor’s Gravity School for bike clinics and lessons. Additionally, Pine Marten Lodge will host Sunset Dinners every weekend, featuring a buffet with a rotating menu exploring different cuisines. For more information on Mt. Bachelor’s summer activities, and to buy lift tickets, visit mtbachelor.com or call 800-829-2442.

Deschutes Dash The 13th Annual Deschutes Dash will kick-off at 6am on Saturday, July 16. The event will feature multiple races stretching across the Old Mill District. Competitors can challenge their land and sea skills with duathlons, triathlons, aquabikes and a good old-fashioned 10k. Olympic and sprint distances are both offered. Younger competitors can take on the Kid’s Splash n Dash, a fun obstacle course open to 3-10-year-olds. Racers can win awards for fastest times, but all finishers will receive a medal, along with food and Deschutes Brewery beer (for those of age). The Dash is also perfect for spectators, who can cheer on their favorite athletes and check out the festival’s other events. Volunteer spots are also open. For more information on Deschutes Dash, visit deschutesdash.com or call 541-389-1601.

Cascade Cycling Classic The 4-day Cascade Cycling Classic is the longest running stage race in North America, and it takes place right here in Bend, starting Wednesday, July 20. The annual race has run consecutively since 1979, bringing in professional riders from around the world, including Australia, New Zealand and Spain.

In fact, while the American women dominate their division, no American man has won this race since 2009. Bikers can compete in different categories depending on their skill level. There is even a kids race on Sunday, July 24. Bend’s mix of challenging courses and breathtaking scenery makes the Cascade Cycling Classic a can’t miss event.

NATURAL WORLD

Rattlesnakes: Born to do Battle?

By Jim Anderson

I

n our travels assisting the Oregon Eagle Foundation to survey Central Oregon for active Golden Eagle breeding territories, my wife, Sue and I come across a wonderful variety of reptiles.

When the days are nice and warm, just about all the lizards that live in the Great Sandy Desert dash across the road ahead of us. Most of the time we’re driving slowly, looking for eagle nests (and big rocks!). Sagebrush lizards are fast as they dash across the road, but side-blotched lizards seem to be a tad faster. The tiny, pygmy horned lizard sort of waddles when it’s surprised on the road, while western fence lizards are common and fast to avoid us on the road around rim rocks.

Two snakes—somewhat look-alikes— are seen frequently, but not as often as I’d like. The common gopher snake enjoys the warmth of the roadway in late afternoon, especially if it’s digesting a freshly swallowed rodent. And, we’ve also seen his look-alike, a pit-viper, our Pacific rattlesnake at about the same time of day for the same reason.

Unfortunately, most people are quick to run them over, rarely taking the time to enjoy the beauty of our only pit-viper, and many a harmless gopher snake is treated the same way.

Perhaps the most disgusting incident I have ever witnessed in the death of a rattlesnake was in Arizona, just outside Tucson. I came around a curve and had to make a quick stop to avoid running into the passenger car in front of me.

The driver was in my lane, slowly jockeying his car so he could run directly over a very large diamond back rattlesnake.

Again and again, while leaning out of the car to watch his progress, the driver kept jockeying the car until the front wheel was directly over the mid-section of the snake. Then, with a triumphant yell, he ran his vehicle right across the middle of the helpless reptile and drove off, shaking his fist out the window. I almost puked.

I wrote down the guy’s license plate and when I got into Tucson, called a wildlife officer I knew to report the incident as willful use of a motor vehicle to kill wildlife. My officer pal said unfortunately it was legal to kill rattlesnakes any way you can in Arizona, but he’d pass the guy’s number along to traffic.

It has been said by many herpetologists (reptile and amphibian researchers) that rattlesnakes are a (sort of) peace-loving critter: “Leave them alone, and they’ll

leave you alone.” That has been my experience as well, but when push comesto shove, well, don’t push it! Like the experience Sue and I had recently.

Last May, while searching the rimrocks just north of what was once our only salt lake, Lake Abert, way down in Lake County, Sue spotted a cliff with an eagle nest on it. We set up our grand old Eagle spotting scope we’ve used for years, and she said, “A great horned owl’s using this one.”

That’s not uncommon. Great horned owls, in my opinion, never build a nest, they probably don’t know how and don’t waste time learning the art. They just move into an old unused raptor nest, a large pile of sticks on a cliff. Once I banded baby owls in a nest that was nothing more than a handful (literally) of juniper needles caught in the crotch of the limbs of an old-growth juniper.

An owl who moves into an unused golden eagle nest could be in trouble. Just about the time the chicks are ready to hatch, along comes Mama eagle wanting to use the same nest, which usually ends badly for the owl. I have found adult and juvenile owl feathers in eagle pellets.

To be sure, we drove closer and the great horned owl morphed into a long-eared owl, which is not uncommon either; they both have obvious feathered “horns” on top of their heads and use whatever nest they can. We drove close enough to be sure it was a long-eared, then, not want-

ing to stay within the comfort zone of the incubating female, I turned around to leave.

As I was backing up, Sue suddenly shouted, “Stop!” and leaped out of the passenger seat, running toward the rear of our faithful, old, 322,000-mile 4-Runner.

“I heard a rattlesnake,” she exclaimed, walking back and forth behind the rig.

I watched her in the rear-view mirrors as she inspected the sage and rabbitbrush, when she suddenly stopped and slowly began circling a big saltbrush directly behind us.

I jumped out with camera in hand, and as I approached the rear of the vehicle, I could also hear the unmistakable sound of a very agitated rattlesnake. Hearing the snake would have been impossible, because I’m deaf as a post, but with my handy-dandy Central Oregon Audiology hearing devices in place, the sound came though loud and clear.

As usual, I apologized to the snake for making such a fuss in and around his home, and asking Sue to keep an eye on him, I slowly moved the 4-Runner around so we could exit the snake’s domain without any further stress to him.

For me, and I hope for you too, it’s best to have a “let-live” philosophy regarding the buzz-tails of our great old Oregon country. The guys who put together that grand old rattlesnake flag, “Don’t Tread On Me,” got the message right, for several reasons. SW

How Important are Bike-able Neighborhoods for Homebuyers?

Bend is touted as a bike town, but realistically, it is a great and probably high volume recreational mountain biking town as opposed to a commute biker town.

Driving down Newport and Galveston and on 14th particularly, the bike paths that do exist are hazardous. Fourteenth has lots of debris, particularly lots of pine cones that appear to never be cleaned up and present a hazard to cyclists avoiding cars.

It is nice to have bike lanes, but if they are not maintained, they force bikers to

drive closer to traffic. Downtown is grim down Wall or Bond Street where there are no bike lanes, so bikers must negotiate traffic on narrow streets and watch out for people pulling out of head-in parking spaces. Downtown neighborhoods are scary as well and really not amenable to kids safely riding bikes to school unless they use sidewalks, which are non-existent on many downtown area streets.

The main impediment to encouraging commuter biking in town is that most people live in one end of town and work on the other, so biking can be an even greater challenge. This is something city planners and activists seem to be considering more often these days. If there were more bike friendly neighborhoods and amenities, this would become an asset to homebuyers and might be a factor in homebuying decisions, particularly to families who would like a safe commute for children.

S

ince this week’s theme for the Source Weekly is bikes, I was asked how important bike-able neighborhoods are to buyers. The only time bike-ability was important was for buyers who were mountain bikers and they liked having nearby access to trails. Bike-ability for commuting has never come up as being important, probably because most people realize how dangerous it can be to commute by bike in Bend.

ADVICE GODDESS Skinny Genes

—Concerned There’s that saying, “You are what you eat.” Apparently, your girlfriend ate a supermodel.

Numerous studies find that exercise is a mood booster and improves our cognitive abilities (like memory), even protecting them into old age. Incredibly, a study on female twins by geneticist Tim Spector found that those with fitter leg muscles showed fewer signs of aging in their brain 10 years later. But we humans have a very now-oriented psychology. So, for many people—like women who shave their legs before stepping on the scale—these pluses are merely fringe benefits of workouts for jiggle management. And unfortunately, when your girlfriend looks in the mirror, she sees that all those runs to the vending machine seem to be paying off.

It’s sweet and loving that you want her to have the benefits of exercising, but stand back, because I’m about to make a big mess slaughtering a sacred cow. Dr. Michael Eades and Dr. Mary Dan Eades, low-carb pioneers whose evidence-based approach to dietary medicine I have great respect for, dug into the research on exercise after meeting professional fitness trainer Fredrick Hahn. They were surprised at what they found and ended up writing a book with Hahn—“The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution.”

In their book, they note that many of the ways people exercise actually don’t do all that much for their bodies or long-term health. For example, they say that many endurance workouts—like the 7-mile runs I used to do—are “tremendously inefficient” for improving health and often come with some serious costs, like the need to have your knees rebuilt with medical Tupperware.

They also write that many sports that people consider exercise—including tennis, skiing, and (sorry!) martial arts—have some fitness benefits but would better be considered play. They explain that exercise should do all of the following: 1. Make you stronger. 2. Improve your cardiovascular system. 3. Help you lose excess body fat. 4.

Improve your endurance. 5. Improve your flexibility. And 6. Preserve or increase your bone density and muscle mass.

51 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 28 / July 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’ve always been a very athletic guy. I do jujitsu every day. When I don’t exercise, I feel depressed. My girlfriend, however, has never been very physically active. She has a great body—naturally slim— without doing anything, which is probably why she’s unmotivated to work out. I just think that if she did—even a little—she’d look like a superhero and feel better. I keep urging her to exercise, but it’s not working. How do I encourage her?

ON THE S

The one exercise that does all of these things is slow-motion strength training.

This involves lifting extremely heavy weights—weights that you can barely lift at all—extremely slowly. You do just three to six reps in 60- or 90-second intervals—to the point where your muscles just scream and give out.

By the way, though it says on the cover of their book that you can change your body by working out like this for just 30 minutes weekly, Mary Dan Eades told me that you really only have to do it for 12 to 15 minutes a week but they figured nobody would believe that.

Now maybe you’re saying, “Come on… weightlifting for cardio?” Consider that your heart is a muscle and muscle cells need oxygen as they work. Mike Eades explains on his blog that conditioning your muscles through strength training makes the body more efficient at getting oxygen into muscle cells, which is what improves your cardiopulmonary function—not all the pound, pound, pound of a run.

As for how to get your girlfriend into this kind of exercise, first, it helps to explain that it requires a ridiculously small time commitment—far less than it takes for her to do “natural look” makeup (which, ironically, can take 40 minutes or more to apply). Of course, there’s still the problem of motivating her—considering how all she has to do to fit into her skinny jeans is have a plate of french fries and a nap.

Well, when you’re in a relationship, you get to make requests of your partner—things you ask them to do simply because it would make you happy. Put your request in that light, but give her an attractive (rebellion-quashing) timetable: For just three weeks, try slow-motion strength training with you. If, after that time, she hates it, she can stop. Mary Dan Eades explains that the three-week “try this” allows a person to experience some benefits, which often motivates them to keep going. If she does really get into it, be prepared: This eliminates any need to drag you kicking and screaming to the altar; she can just hoist you over her shoulder.

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are smooth-

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How often have you visited hell or the suburbs of hell during the last few weeks? According to my guesstimates, the time you spent there was exactly the right amount.

You got the teachings you needed most, including a few tricks about how to steer clear of hell in the future. With this valuable information, you will forevermore be smarter about how to avoid unnecessary pain and irrelevant hindrances. So congratulations! I suggest you celebrate. And please use your new-found wisdom as you decline one last invitation to visit the heart of a big, hot mess.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My friend Athena works as a masseuse. She says that the highest praise she can receive is drool. When her clients feel so sublimely serene that threads of spit droop out of their mouths, she knows she’s in top form. You might trigger responses akin to drool in the coming weeks, Virgo.

Even if you don’t work as a massage therapist, I think it’s possible you’ll provoke rather extreme expressions of approval, longing, and curiosity. You will be at the height of your power to inspire potent feelings in those you encounter.

In light of this situation, you might want to wear a small sign or button that reads, “You have my permission to drool freely.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The latest Free Will Astrology poll shows that thirty-three percent of your friends, loved ones, and acquaintances approve of your grab for glory. Thirty-eight percent disapprove, eighteen percent remain undecided, and eleven percent wish you would grab for even greater glory. As for me, I’m aligned with the eleven-percent minority. Here’s what I say: Don’t allow your quest for shiny breakthroughs and brilliant accomplishments to be overly influenced by what people think of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are at the pinnacle of your powers to both hurt and heal. Your turbulent yearnings could disrupt the integrity of those whose self-knowledge is shaky, even as your smoldering radiance can illuminate the darkness for those who are lost or weak.

As strong and confident as I am, even I would be cautious about engaging your tricky intelligence. Your piercing perceptions and wild understandings might either undo me or vitalize me. Given these volatile conditions, I advise everyone to approach you as if you were a love bomb or a truth fire or a beauty tornado.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s the deal: I will confess a dark secret from my past if you confess an equivalent secret from yours.

Shall I go first? When I first got started in the business of writing horoscope columns, I contributed a sexed-up monthly edition to a porn magazine published by smut magnate Larry Flynt. What’s even more scandalous is that I enjoyed doing it. OK. It’s your turn. Locate a compassionate listener who won’t judge you harshly, and unveil one of your subterranean mysteries. You may be surprised at how much psychic energy this will liberate. (For extra credit and emancipation, spill two or even three secrets.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What do you want to be when you grow up, Capricorn?

What? You say you are already all grown up, and my question is irrelevant? If that’s your firm belief, I will ask you to set it aside for now. I’ll invite you to entertain the possibility that maybe some parts of you are not in fact fully mature;

that no matter how ripe you imagine yourself to be, you could become even riper—an even more gorgeous version of your best self. I will also encourage you to immerse yourself in a mood of playful fun as you respond to the following question: “How can I activate and embody an even more complete version of my soul’s code?”

Be kind to your body this summer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On a summer day 20 years ago, I took my five-year-old daughter Zoe and her friend Max to the merry-goround in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Zoe jumped on the elegant golden-maned lion and Max mounted the wild blue horse. Me? I climbed aboard the humble pig. Its squat pink body didn’t seem designed for rapid movement. Its timid gaze was fixed on the floor in front of it. As the man who operated the ride came around to see if everyone was in place, he congratulated me on my bold choice. Very few riders preferred the porker, he said. Not glamorous enough. “But I’m sure I will arrive at our destination as quickly and efficiently as everyone else,” I replied. Your immediate future, Aquarius, has symbolic resemblances to this scene.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Early on in our work together, my psychotherapist confessed that she only works with clients whose problems are interesting to her. In part, her motivations are selfish: Her goal is to enjoy her work.

But her motivations are also altruistic. She feels she’s not likely to be of service to anyone with whom she can’t be deeply engaged. I understand this perspective, and am inclined to make it more universal.

Isn’t it smart to pick all our allies according to this principle? Every one of us is a mess in one way or another, so why not choose to blend our fates with those whose messiness entertains us and teaches us the most?

I suggest you experiment with this view in the coming weeks and months, Pisces.

They will mostly unfold in the depths of your psyche. But they won’t be merely symbolic, either. There’ll be mutations in your biochemistry that will expand your sense of your own gender. If you respond enthusiastically to these shifts, you will begin a process that could turn you into an even more complete and attractive human being than you already are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your life has resemblances to a jigsaw puzzle that lies unassembled on a kitchen table. Unbeknownst to you, but revealed to you by me, a few of the pieces are missing. Maybe your cat knocked them under the refrigerator, or they fell out of their storage box somewhere along the way. But this doesn’t have to be a problem. I believe you can mostly put together the puzzle without the missing fragments. At the end, when you’re finished, you may be tempted to feel frustration that the picture’s not complete. But that would be illogical perfectionism. Ninety-seven-percent success will be just fine.

Legal Weed: One Year In What’s on the horizon for cannabis laws in Oregon?

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / July 14, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

54

It’s legal, but where can you smoke it?

O

n July 1, 2015, a little over a year ago, it became legal for Oregonians 21 and older to grow and consume cannabis. Although Oregonians voted to legalize so-called recreational cannabis consumption in 2014, state officials still have not begun issuing business licenses for the recreational market. That is expected to happen around October, nearly two years after the vote. In the meantime, the Legislature has authorized cannabis sales at existing medical marijuana dispensaries.

Oregonians have long consumed cannabis at a higher rate than the national average, and that fact is reflected in the official sales figures for 2016. Since January, there has been approximately $60 million worth of recreational cannabis sold in Oregon, generating nearly $15 million in taxes. The popular cannabis review site Leafly estimates that the price per gram is around $13.50 in Oregon, which is comparable to other states where cannabis is legal.

Experts say that the legal cannabis price will need to dip below $10 per gram in order to crowd out black market sales.

That may be difficult to achieve with federal taxes on legal cannabis sales of about 70 percent, a tax rate far higher than any other product sold in the United States. And that tax is in addition to a state tax of 25 percent.

The state will soon lower the tax rate to 17 percent and allow local governments to tack on an additional three percent tax, something that most legal cannabis jurisdictions are expected to take advantage of, effectively creating a five percent drop in the tax rate. But unless the feds lower the tax rate on state-legal cannabis sales, it remains to be seen whether Oregon’s new law will be enough to render black market sellers uncompetitive.

Many people tend to think of Oregon’s legalization efforts as complete, but the stated goal of cannabis law reform is to stamp out the black market for cannabis and effectively replace it with a legal market. As the tax issue shows, the law may require further tweaks to make things work. And data on legal sales is showing that other areas of the law may need changes as well.

For example, two weeks ago Smoke Signals shared the story of Michael Hirsch, an Oregonian who was fired from his job for using cannabis to treat cancer even though he never used cannabis at work and never came to work impaired.

Hirsch’s job was eventually saved by employee-friendly union rules, but other Oregonians are not so lucky, with state employment law now allowing cannabis users to be fired for using cannabis even if it does not affect their job performance. The state’s many alcohol-related businesses would surely ask the Legislature for a law prohibiting employers from firing drinkers who are not drunk or hungover at work, and we expect cannabis businesses to do the same.

Legal cannabis also seems to be generating increased public smoking of cannabis. A month ago, Smoke Signals shared Denver’s new reputation as “the town that smells like weed.” And in Portland and Seattle, tourists, renters, the homeless, and the merely uncaring have turned some public places into smoky enclaves, even though public smoking is prohibited everywhere in these cities.

Imagine the consequences of allowing alcohol sales but prohibiting bars. As public smoking becomes more apparent, expect Oregon to follow Alaska’s lead and allow businesses to open off-street areas where smokers can consume cannabis away from the public eye.
