OPINION

Oh, Dam. It’s Back.

Deschutes River dredgers want your taxes

L

ike us, you’ve probably grown tired of the endless history lessons surrounding the bend in the Deschutes River affectionately known as “Mirror Pond.” The Pacific Power “dam,” which has created an abnormal and unhealthy part of the river now full of silt, continues to attract the attention of folks who put the idea of a healthy river with recreational benefits below the notion of a shallow bit of water that, if the angle is right, may reflect a mountain. This warm, flat, now obscure part of the river is often touted as “iconic,” because it once graced postcards and ads in the region in the distant past. This kind of sophistry is dangerous and really should stop.

Yes, it is fatiguing to hear about this issue once again, but now is not the time for reasonable folks to turn their attention to other matters. Like the torpid flow of the Deschutes running through Drake Park, the flat river supporters are moving forward with the notion that taxpayers should fund the dredging of the river. The unreasonable passion that some in our community have attached to the dredging is now flowing into meetings with public entities including the City of Bend, Bend Park and Recreation District, Visit Bend and private entities such as Pacific Power.

The dredging of the river will cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and ultimately, will once again kick the can of restoration down the road for another generation. Make no mistake: dredging is not a fix. No one is proposing that dredging is even a viable solution. And yet, proponents, in the face of this

problem, continue to be motivated by their old-fashioned notions of “iconic” landmarks to support the allocation of millions of tax dollars.

We could make a list of the myriad government services and nonprofit agencies that would thrive with the receipt of these monies instead. But we don’t have to. We are sure, gentle reader, that you can, in a short amount of time, think of at least one organization you would rather give these monies to than the dredger man.

Thankfully, Bend has changed over the years. We are an active community—socially, environmentally and physically. For this reason, people come to our community in overwhelming numbers. They don’t come to Bend to stand with their hands in their pockets and marvel at man-made grandeur. Instead, they immerse themselves in the natural beauty that remains in the few places we haven’t ruined.

But, perhaps we are wrong on this issue. Maybe the idea of a “mirror pond” that requires millions of dollars to sustain is something the community does want. We may never know unless this allocation of funds is put to a vote. While we don’t support dredging, we do support the will of the community, and if Bend wants to allocate hard-earned taxes to dredging, then so be it. Let’s have a ballot measure and really get after this issue once and for all. In this way, we can circumvent the back room deals and political pressure surrounding this important issue and come up with the very solution the community craves. SW

5 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 29 / July 20, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Bend’s Approach to Un-checked Growth, Dumb and Dumber I read with interest, The Source’s “Eyes on the Money.” Certain things jumped out. Over the next two years, the City will allocate nearly $60 million for updated/ expanded sewer service to accommodate and enable local development interests, while spending a meager $5.2 million for “street preservation” for its citizens. Now that’s telling.

As a resident who lives on an unmaintained, dirt (not even gravel) street, one block from Wall St., the other 11 households and I are wondering when the City is going to take care of people who are already here and quit focusing on the folks they are trying to lure to Bend in the future. Perhaps money could be shifted from Visit Bend and other self-serving, business-booster organizations which consume “transient room tax” revenues to bring the City’s existing infrastructure up to snuff. And besides, don’t we have enough tourists and California emigrants as it is?

But back to growth and planning. I’d like to challenge Mayor Roat’s idea of trying to accommodate Bend’s skyrocketing growth, “Because it’s coming and no one can stop it.” Well Mr. Mayor, that’s because a council that’s joined at the hip with the Chamber of Commerce and builders/developers has no desire to control runaway growth, much less stop it. And there appears to be no interest in applying “smart growth” strategies. You know, like incorporating the concepts of “livability”: creating distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place; or making development decisions that are predictable, fair and cost-effective.

Why not follow the lead of progressive places like Boulder and Aspen, CO; Brea, CA; Silver Springs, MD who successfully tapped the brakes on growth? Maybe you can’t “stop it” Mr. Mayor, even if you wanted to, but you can do a hell of a better job of planning for and controlling it. But that will take leadership and the guts to take on the very supporters that put you in that chair.

Finally, there’s City Manager King’s call for a “gut check,” pondering if Bend’s economy is “sustainable.” One question: Were you here in 2009 Mr. King? That, in itself, is ample reason to take another look at The Source’s Opinion piece on pursuing a City Charter Amendment. This town is in need of some serious reflection and change. And we’re highly unlikely to get that with the same governmental system, the same recycled “leaders” and the good-ole-boy influences that sustain it.

DEAR MIDDLE-AGED MAN DRIVING THE BROWN PORSCHE As I carefully pulled out onto Galveston avenue this lovely Sunday afternoon, imagine my surprise when I glanced in my rearview mirror to see your angry face holding up the F.U. finger at me. I truly did not see you coming down Galveston and you speeding up to ride my bumper could not and would not change that fact.

There’s a few things I’ve learned living in Bend for almost 20 years direct from downtown Chicago — and one of them is to be very careful of how we react to one another on the road. This is a small town and I just might be the owner of your favorite restaurant or on the board of your children’s school (or perhaps grandchildren in your case), or we might belong to the same club, etc.

You catch my drift? How embarrassing to be caught flicking off one’s own neighbor or dry cleaner?! Believe me, I’ve been there.

But I learned fast. Bendites, do not flick people off or honk. Like ever. You might as well wear a sign that says TOURIST or a bumper sticker that says “I just moved here with my big city attitude and I am still adjusting. Forgive me.”

We all have those days on the road — and I am guilty of it too — but the biggest difference I have found driving in a small town is that people actually give the other drivers the benefit of the doubt. Meaning, I did look very carefully and I am glad we did not have an accident, but next time you may want to consider that the person did not actually see you, instead of believing the worst: that I pulled out in front of you just to piss you off?

Ummm...how likely is that, really?

As our town’s infrastructure is stretched to the limit, it’s a great opportunity to remember that we are all just doing our best out there. Thanks “Porsche Man” for inspiring me to speak up!

SIDE NOTES No charges for police in deadly shooting; family seeks damages

By Nicole Vulcan The Oregon Department of Justice has cleared the officers involved in a deadly shooting last December. Officers stopped Michael Tyler Jacques in downtown Bend after receiving reports that Jacques was driving erratically. Oregon State Police said officers first used a taser on Jacques before shooting him. Officials placed Scott Schaier and Marc Tisher on administrative leave following the shooting. Schaier is back on duty, Lt. Clint Burleigh of Bend Police told the Source Weekly Tuesday, while Tisher remains on leave.

Last week, the Oregon DOJ released a report stating investigators did not have enough evidence to find criminal liability in the shooting. The family now plans to file a civil lawsuit, according to the Jacques family attorney Jennifer Coughlin.

“This is not unexpected,” Coughlin said of the DOJ findings. “However, the Department of Justice letter honestly raises more questions than it does answers, and our job is now to pursue vigorously, on behalf of the family, whether or not Mr. Jacques’ constitutional rights were violated.” Coughlin says she plans to obtain the entire file related to the investigation, and also to conduct her own interviews with eyewitnesses before seeking damages.

Bend Police arrest a California man in connection with sex crimes involving a 14 year old

By Magdalena Bokowa

541.382.1751 | 1500 NE CUSHING SUITE 100 JACKSONSCORNSERBEND

Bend Police have arrested a California man who they say sexually assaulted a 14-year-old local girl.

Officers from the City of Bend Police Department say Patrick Green arrived in Bend on July 10 from Long Beach, Calif., to meet with the girl at the Bend Value Inn. Police say Green knowingly engaged in sexual intercourse with the female inside the motel room and admitted to knowing she was under the age of 18.

Green and the female met on social media and had been texting and exchanging picture messages for over a month, police say. The alleged perpetrator told police he came to Bend to visit the girl—and also to sightsee.

The girl’s mother notified police about the matter, though police say she stated that she had never seen nor spoken to the man, and did not consent to her daughter being with him.

Police arrested Green July 12 and booked him into the Deschutes County Jail.

He’s charged with six charges, including rape, sodomy, online sexual corruption of a child, encouraging child sex abuse and various child pornography charges.

Forest Service Moves Forward on Changes to OHV Trails in the Ochocos

By Anne Pick The U.S. Forest Service has made a decision on the proposed 137 miles of off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail system in the Ochoco National Forest, an hour’s drive east of Bend. According to the Record of Decision from Forest Supervisor Stacey Forson, “My decision includes adoption of some appropriately and sustainably located user-created trails, establishment of trails on existing road beds and new trail construction for a total of 107 miles of designated trails, plus 30 miles of connecting high-clearance roads for a total of about 137 route miles within the designated trail system and OHV Management Areas.”

The Forest Service began developing the project in 2009, with a Final Environmental Impact Statement and a Draft Record of Decision in 2014. Following a forest fire, these documents were withdrawn. Approval of the Summit Trail System doesn’t come as an end to the battle for the Ochocos.

In response to the Forest Service’s decision, WildEarth Guardians, Oregon Wild and the Sierra Club have formally filed a complaint.

“This is about balancing uses on the forest consistent with America’s bedrock environmental laws,” said Marla Fox, Rewilding Attorney at WildEarth Guardians. “As the Trump Administration ramps up its attack on our public lands, defending wild places like the Ochocos is even more important.”

The groups seek a declaration that the Forest Service’s authorization of the Ochoco Summit Trail System violated federal law. SW

Eclipse Encounters

7

By Nicole Vulcan

A

t a conference room at Bend’s St. Charles Medical Center, the room goes silent as a mother relates a story about her young daughter.

“They got her into webcam porn,” the mother says. “She was 18, so by law, it’s legal. She’s in the ‘industry’ now.”

That local mother was one of several dozen people attending a panel discussion titled “Eclipsing Human Trafficking” that took place July 17. With tens of thousands of people expected to descend on Central Oregon before and after the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse, local experts say the demand for commercial sex is likely to increase as well. While the focus of Monday’s discussion centered around preparation and awareness amid the eclipse influx, that mother’s admission highlighted the fact that human trafficking needs no special event to flourish.

Like other young, vulnerable people who become victims of trafficking, the mother explained how a couple the teen met on Tinder lured her into “the life” with promises of things the teen wanted.

“They hooked her with gifts, like lingerie, makeup, anything that an 18… once you’re in your teens… anything that teens go crazy over, they hooked her with that. And there’s nothing I can do,” the mother said.

Monday’s panel included a number of local experts on human trafficking, including Nita Belles, organizer of the event and an anti-human trafficking expert who founded the nonprofit, In Our Backyard.

Also on the panel were Laurie Bisby of Saving Grace, Paulina Machi of J Bar J Youth Services and Detective Chris Morin of the Bend Police Department.

The panelists agreed that luring young people with promises of things the person wants—whether it’s drugs, expensive items or otherwise—is a common tactic among human traffickers.

Human Trafficking in Central Oregon If you thought human trafficking—whether it’s commercial sex or forced labor—doesn’t exist in Central Oregon, you’d be wrong.

“We’ve been told by survivors of human trafficking that Central Oregon is a sweet spot for recruiting because of its rural setting and the naivety of citizens to the dangers of human trafficking,” Belles wrote in a press release for the event.

Det. Morin said a number of years ago, he, too, was unaware of the extent of the commercial sex trade in Central Oregon, until a friend shared a few anecdotes about it. Needing more proof, Morin says he created a “backpage” ad featuring a girl—and got 45 responses to the ad within 24 hours. A brief search on the Bend listings at backpage.com Tuesday

elicited a number of ads, including ones for a “beautiful cougar” and “top quality companionship.”

Were those women on backpage.com victims of trafficking? It can be tough to tell—and even the victims of trafficking typically don’t self-identify as victims, experts say.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime defines human trafficking, in part, as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.”

"I have witnessed firsthand how traffickers drew unsuspecting party-goers into a life of unimaginable control, abuse and trauma — they are manipulators for sheer profit."

— NITA BELLES Morin said, “They don’t refer themselves as being trafficked, or, oh, that was my trafficker, it’s not that language and I had to learn that relatively quickly. It’s ‘my boyfriend.’” Indeed, many “Romeo” pimps lure girls into the life by first making the victim believe the two are developing a romantic relationship. Later, the pimp may ask for “help” to pay rent or get out of other financial straits by convincing the victim to engage in commercial sex.

With that muddy territory, Det. Morin says it can be tough for law enforcement officers to determine who to arrest and who to protect. Often, suspected human trafficking can require extensive investigations.

“It’s a slow developing investigation. These aren’t easy investigations to work—the provability, they anonymize their numbers, they use a lot of social media apps,” Det. Morin said. Knowledge is key; Bend Police are now beginning to engage in more training around how to spot human trafficking and its victims, Det.e Morin says.

Human Trafficking and the Eclipse During the August eclipse, Belles advises people to watch out for signs of trafficking, and also recruit-

ing. In a party atmosphere such as the one the eclipse will bring, recruiting could be a big thing, she says.

“I have witnessed firsthand how traffickers drew unsuspecting party-goers into a life of unimaginable control, abuse and trauma—they are manipulators for sheer profit,” Belles wrote.

So what to look for during the eclipse? The same clues that someone is being trafficked that one might look for day to day. Commercial sex activity often takes place at or near hotels and motels, Morin said—though the panel was also quick to point out that the eclipse may spread that activity elsewhere, since hotel rooms will be in shorter supply.

Panelist Machi from J Bar J said behaviors such as carrying multiple phones, having anxiety around missed phone calls, a lack of personal documentation, or someone who seems unwilling or unable to speak when another individual is nearby may be signs of trafficking. Also, someone who has no access to a bank account or any personal items may be in a situation of control.

Bisby of Saving Grace also advises people to look out for victims of forced labor, which may manifest as someone who’s working at a restaurant or other facility at all hours with little time off, someone who never seems to come out of their home, or someone who avoids eye contact.

Those are all fairly vague activities that could be attributed to other causes, but when in doubt, or when something “just doesn’t feel right,” call local law enforcement, Det. Morin advises, where officers will sort out an unwarranted call from a legitimate one. “If it’s nothing, it’s nothing,” he said, “but we’ll sort that out.” SW Interested in combatting human trafficking in Central Oregon?

Oregon moves to de-felonize hard drugs in hopes of eradicating racial profiling and beating the opioid crisis

By Magdalena Bokowa

t’s Friday and you’re speeding 5 miles over, anxious to get to your favorite brewery. A glimmer of light flashes across your rearview mirror: those familiar blue and red lights of your local police officer, doing his routine gig. The officer notices you’re tight lipped and testy — or maybe too smiley and sweaty — and decides to search your car.

He finds three Adderall pills and a 1/2-gram baggie of cocaine. You’re now a convicted felon, facing up to 20 years in prison, lumped in with those serving life sentences for murder and armed robberies.

Is this a film? No. Is this over-exaggerated?

It depends.

Every 25 seconds. That’s how often an American is arrested for drug possession — usually for small “user” quantities — with police making these arrests more often than any other crime. In Oregon, African Americans make up only 2 percent of the total population, but they account for 9 percent of all inmates in state prison. The Oregon Criminal Justice Commission found that the current rate of incarceration for black people is 5.6 times higher than that of white people. Equally staggering are the numbers for Native Americans — convicted of drug possession at five times the rate of people of European descent.

Unequal conviction and incarceration rates for minorities in Oregon are the fallout of the “War on Drugs” propaganda peddled throughout the past few decades. Drug laws are often touted by officials to suppress illegal drug trafficking, but a 2016 report by the American Civil Liberties Union noted that the rate of people arrested for possessing drugs is substantially higher than those caught selling them — four times higher.

Human Rights Watch and the ACLU, in their joint 196-page report, “Every 25 Seconds: The Human Toll of Criminalizing Drug Use in the United States,” showcase that small quantity drug possession amounts to 1.2 million arrests annually, resulting in 137,000 men and women currently behind bars. As most face stiff felony sentences — a felony carries a penalty of up to 20 years — each day, tens of thousands are convicted for crimes not unlike what a largescale drug trafficker would face, but for much smaller crimes.

Many convicted of minor crimes will cycle through prisons and spend their lives on probation and/or parole, often burdened with crippling debt, all the while still struggling, in many

cases, with a drug addiction. Stifled with stigma and discrimination, entire communities and taxpayers suffer the impacts.

THE WAR ON DRUGS ISN’T WORKING On July 6, Oregon joined 16 other states in reclassifying the possession of six “hard” drugs. The State Senate passed HB 2355, effectively “de-felonizing” those caught with small amounts of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and other Schedule I and II drugs. Offenders found with these small user-amounts will now face lessened fines and reduced incarceration time—provided they have had no more than two previous drug convictions.

Currently, possession of the “harder” drugs is a Class B or Class C felony — depending on the drug — punishable by up to either 10 or 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 or $375,000 in fines. The bill — now awaiting a signature from Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, who has indicated her support— will reclassify the offenses to a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $6,250 fine. People caught with “substantial quantities” of illicit drugs would still face felony possession charges.

Reducing mass incarceration, expanding access to drug treatment and eradicating racial profiling are the primary goals of the bill. Oregon lawmakers said they hope to encourage medical help rather than filling up state prisons as the opioid epidemic grows to the second highest rate of addiction in the country, according to The Oregon Medical Association.

Presently, those caught with even trace amounts of illegal drugs — such as the residue left on a pipe —can theoretically be convicted of felony drug possession. According to the ACLU, as many as 1,500 Oregonians are saddled with their first drug conviction each year, continued on page 11...

SO GO OUT AND TOKE, RIGHT? “To be clear, we are not encouraging people to go out and use drugs,” wrote Tess Borden, 20152017 Aryeh Neier Fellow at ACLU and HRW, and the primary author of the published report.

“What we are saying is that people shouldn’t be arrested, prosecuted and potentially incarcerated — and saddled with all the consequences of a criminal record — for personal drug use, i.e. decisions about what they put in their own bodies.”

Borden used countless examples to illustrate the disconnect between local and state governments in dealing with small-use possession. In one case, a man faced 20 years for being in the backseat of a truck that had a 1/2-gram quantity of a controlled substance. The man received a three-year sentence.

Borden emphasized that felons often spend time socializing with criminals who are in prison for more serious charges and that, in fact, many criminals charged with homicide get out in less than 20 years. Cases such as these are countless across the state and the report says they have “yielded few, if any, benefits…. Criminalizing drugs is not an effective public safety policy. We are aware of no empirical evidence that low-level drug possession defendants would otherwise go on to commit violent crimes.”

If defendants do commit additional crimes, advocates such as the ACLU and Borden say those charges should be prosecuted in the same way as if they were done while intoxicated with

alcohol—another substance that at one time was prohibited. Borden also noted the financial implications. “The enormous resources spent to identify, arrest, prosecute, sentence, incarcerate and supervise people whose only offense has been possession of drugs is hardly money well spent…and it has caused far more harm than good.”

OREGON PROGRESSING FORWARD TO ELIMINATE PROFILING “Our Legislature’s decision to decriminalize small amounts of drugs and expand access to treatment is an important step forward in ending the disastrous drug war,” said former prosecutor and Law Enforcement Action Partnership board member Inge Fryklund. “The harm reduction approach can help address the underlying problems that lead to addiction and keep people who pose little public safety threat out of the justice system.” LEAP is a nonprofit group that advocates for criminal justice reforms and drug policies, made up of police, prosecutors, judges and other criminal justice professionals. They were staunch supporters of the bill that was chaired by Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum.

“

WE’VE GOT TO TREAT PEOPLE, NOT PUT THEM IN PRISON. IT WOULD BE LIKE PUTTING THEM IN THE STATE PENITENTIARY FOR HAVING DIABETES... THIS IS A CHRONIC BRAIN DISORDER AND IT NEEDS TO BE TREATED THIS WAY.” —Sen. Mitch Greenlick “Our Task Force traveled throughout the state listening to Oregonians sharing their experiences with profiling,” said Rosenblum.

“The stories we heard were profoundly important and deeply impactful.” House members heard testimonies from community members about their racial profiling experiences. Linda Hamilton was one such case, who retold being pulled over in a traffic stop allegedly because she’s black. Hamilton is a Lane County parole and probation officer.

The Hispanic community also came forward with accounts of profiling, with University of Oregon student Maria Gallego testifying that her partner now has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from an encounter with law enforcement. Testimonies like these were what Democrats said would help be the building blocks to form a bridge between police and communities of color.

Although strongly favored by most Democrats, some Republicans, such as Rep. Andy Olson voted against the bill, saying “I fully support the collection of data to monitor racial profiling, but I am opposed to reducing drug classification.” Sen. Betsy Johnson, a Democrat, also voted against it in the Senate, arguing that it was a “hug-a-thug” policy. Both local House members, Rep. Knute Buehler and Rep. Gene

Whisnant, voted no. Sen. Tim Knopp abstained from the vote in the Senate.

Sen. Jackie Winters — the longest serving African-American woman in the Oregon Senate, and a Republican — was a strong advocate for the bill and pushed back on Johnson’s stance, noting in the Ways and Mean Committee that, “There is empirical evidence that there are certain things that follow race. … We don’t like to look at the disparity in our prison system,” Winters said. “It is institutional racism. … We can pretend it doesn’t exist, but it does.”

Democrat Mitch Greenlick said, “We’ve got to treat people, not put them in prison. It would be like putting them in the state penitentiary for having diabetes... This is a chronic brain disorder and it needs to be treated this way.”

The Oregon Association Chiefs of Police also wrote a letter in support of the bill. “Too often, individuals with addiction issues find their way to the doorstep of the criminal justice system when they are arrested for possession of a controlled substance,” wrote Kevin Campbell, the executive director. “Unfortunately, felony convictions in these cases also include unintended and collateral consequences including barriers to housing and employment and a disparate impact on minority communities.”

The bill is seen as an addition to the 2015 law that made Oregon the 31st state to prohibit racial profiling. However, it did not provide guidance for dealing with the issue. Recording mandatory data is seen as a progressive step in implementing this law.

WHAT NOW? Officer training to prevent unlawful police profiling and overcoming any biases is the first step police departments will undertake with this new legislation. It will also protect lawful immigrants from facing mandatory deportation for low level, nonviolent offenses and advocate for treatment rather than prison time.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Winters said, “We can’t continue on the path of building more prisons when often the underlying root cause of the crime is substance use.”

With the opioid crisis in effect, states are changing tactics from one of criminality to a public health concern. “We are trying to move policy towards treatment rather than prison beds.”

With many Oregon counties in support — Deschutes County was in favor of the bill — of already implementing drug diversion programs, the hope is to expand programs to rural and lower-income countries that generally don’t have the beds available for treatment. The state will provide local jurisdictions with $7 million to implement drug diversion programs.

As the bill awaits Gov. Brown’s signature, she released a statement indicating her support.

“HB 2355 represents an important step towards creating a more equitable justice system to better serve all Oregonians...Addressing disparities that too often fall along racial and socioeconomic lines should not be political issues. Here in Oregon, we’re demonstrating that we can make meaningful progress to improve the lives of Oregonians by working together around our shared values.” SW

amounting to a felony, with 500 of these new felons never having any prior criminal record.

Felonies are often deemed the most violent and serious of crimes and include offenses such as murder, arson, fraud, and armed robbery, and are therefore permanently on a person’s record.

This greatly reduces chances of finding stable housing or employment.

“This is an incredibly, incredibly important bill,” said Democratic House Speaker Tina Kotek. “It represents the next step of Oregon’s surety to making sure individuals and communities across the state, including Oregonians of color, feel fairly represented and have good interactions with law enforcement.” Kotek spoke about the importance of coupling an anti-profiling law with official data, so “that officials know what to do with the results.” In an effort to understand racial disparity within Oregon, the bill makes data collection mandatory from all traffic and pedestrian stops officers make.

Demographics collected will include age, race and gender. The Oregon Criminal Justice Commission will use the data to analyze the demographic data police departments collect and will notify them of any disparities, so that departments can make adjustments to their current practices. In the past, minorities have been recorded as facing criminal charges for minor infractions such as jay-walking or littering.

“The war on drugs has failed,” said David Rogers, executive director of the ACLU of Oregon. “It has damaged families and cost taxpayers billions of dollars. A felony conviction for small-scale drug use is too harsh because it ruins people’s lives. Oregonians are ready for a smarter approach.”

SOUND A Musical Journey, With a Pitstop in Bend The Avett Brothers continue to expand their style, while also maintaining that signature sound

By Alan Sculley

Cracker Farm

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 29 / July 20, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he Avett Brothers have been on quite a musical journey of evolving their sound over the past decade, going from a trio playing acoustic guitar, banjo and stand-up bass to what is now a seven-member lineup that can build considerably on the group’s scrappy, stripped-back acoustic beginnings.

The big shift came with the 2009 album, “I and Love and You.” Produced by Rick Rubin, it found the Avett Brothers retaining their acoustic foundation, but broadened their instrumental and stylistic reach to the point that the group could no longer be considered simply folk nor acoustic.

The next two albums, 2012’s “The Carpenter” and 2014’s “Magpie and the Dandelion,” continued down that path. And now, Seth Avett, who started the group with his older brother, Scott, in 2000, feels the latest Avett Brothers album, “True Sadness,” represents another leap forward for the group.

“This one’s a major one in terms of me reframing what I think the Avett Brothers sound like,” Seth Avett said of “True Sadness” in a recent phone interview. “I hope, what I feel like is happening is we are opening ourselves up further, further and further in the aesthetics, to have no boundaries while hopefully staying heavily rooted in what makes us, us, which is by and large some version of storytelling, I think.”

“True Sadness,” released last June, is the most sonically adventurous, most instrumentally diverse— and arguably the most stylistically varied—album yet from the group. Recorded with the current seven-member touring band (bassist/fiddle player Bob Crawford, drummer Mike Marsh, keyboardist Paul Defiglia, cellist Joe Kwon and fiddle player Tania Elizabeth), the songs touch on a myriad of styles.

There’s stomping pop delivered with bass, drum and a ragged choir on the first single, “Ain’t No Man.” “You Are Mine” takes jangly folk-rock and gives it a jolt with a big, fuzzed up bass line and sprinkles of keyboard. “Fisher Road” is a gentle and pretty finger-picked acoustic ballad. “There Is A Sea” sounds like it was written for an epic western or sea-faring movie soundtrack with its lush, swelling strings and expansive melody.

Even with that variety, “True Sadness” sounds very much like an Avett Brothers album, mainly because many of the songs (“Roof Over My Past,” “Mama,” “Smithsonian” and “No Hard Feelings”) still have the acoustic folk and rough-hewn rock foundation that defined the early music of the group. Seth agreed with that assessment.

“You can’t change your beginning. You can’t go back and change where you’re from. It just is what it is,” he said. “Our skeleton is the acoustic guitar (played by Seth Avett) and the banjo (Scott Avett) and the stand-up bass (Crawford, who joined the Avetts in 2002), and our stories and our romanticism and me and Scott’s voices. That’s what we are at our core. So I think as long as we don’t disgrace that or completely turn our backs on that, I think it will come through.”

The two Avett brothers remained the songwriters on “True Sadness,” but Avett said the other band members, more than ever, brought their influences and ideas to the table and had a big hand in how the songs grew from their bare bones beginnings to the versions heard on the album. For the most part, he said, the songs developed organically as the other

musicians got involved.

“We have, I think, a very good, very natural sort of rhythm within our communication, where Scott and I are able to present our visions for a song,” Avett said. “You just have faith in the players and you don’t have to micro-manage everything…I think we all have enough experience where we can come to a great agreement, normally without saying anything at all.”

That sort of musical chemistry and communication has been developed through four-plus years of touring. And while shows of recent vintage demonstrate that the seven-member lineup is plenty potent live (a recently released concert disc, “Live, Vol. Four,” offers a good example of the group’s live sound), Seth Avett feels the group has plenty of room to grow as a live unit.

“We have not really fully embraced what is possible here with this band. I mean, seven people with more than a few that are multi-instrumentalists, there’s a lot that can be done,” he said. “I know we’ve embraced it a little. But over the last couple of years, we’ve worked up kind of outlaw country songs, a Harry Belafonte song, we did a Beyonce song for a little while.

“Sometimes it starts feeling like we really could be presenting something with a lot more breadth than we have so far,” Avett said. “Now, we’re a little bit, we’re committed to our original material. That in and of itself is going to be kind of a stew of a lot of things. But man, it’s so fun to dig into something that seems really out of our comfort zone and then realizing we can actually present it because of this band. So I think we’re just beginning to get a handle on what we might be able to do.” SW

"We have not really fully embraced what is possible here with this band. I mean, seven people with more than a few that are multi-instrumentalists, there's a lot that can be done."

Constantly Creative

Oakland’s Foxtails Brigade dips into all kinds of media, from film-style music videos to podcasts, and of course, experimental pop music

By Anne Pick

Laura Weinbach and Foxtails Brigade create experimental pop music, as well as artistic music videos and hilarious podcasts.

for a music video?’ He chose that one because it had the strongest inspiration and a really clear vision for the fact that he wanted it to be a narrative.

He had all of the elements picked out for the storyline of that.”

After Mercurio got the ball rolling, Weinbach acted as art director for the video, designing the sets and costumes.

She says her house allows her to do whatever she wants creatively—which results in many of their videos being shot there.

“We shoot a lot of videos here at the house and we kind of transform it every time we make a new video,” Weinbach says. “We moved everything out of the living room and kitchen and I had this idea that I wanted to make themes for each room, which would

Dentistry with a Gentle Touch

coincide with sections of the video.”

In addition to collaborating on Foxtails Brigade’s music and videos, Weinbach and Mercurio have started their own podcast called “Totally Tell Me.” The weekly entertainment podcast features the two musicians chatting about movies, music, food and pop culture. Each episode features guests, which often includes Patzner. The group begins with a “week in review” which spans the conversational gamut — one week included how to respond to someone knocking on a public bathroom door.

“I love recording the episodes because it guarantees we get to hang out at least once a week,” Weinbach says. “Dominic usually comes over the night before and brings his PlayStation

4 and we play games and get pizza and hang out and eat a lot of junk food.

He’ll sleep over in the living room.”

The next day, Weinbach and Mercurio go to a theater to watch the movie they’ve chosen to discuss as the main topic for the week’s podcast. Before leaving the house, they set up all their gear so they can come straight home and immediately start talking about the movie.

“We specifically don’t relay any of our thoughts on the movie that we watched until we press record. Even if we really have a strong opinion about what we just saw, we’re like, ‘Don’t say anything. Save it for the podcast!’”

On the music front, Foxtails Brigade has about three-quarters of a new album written and foresees releasing new music within the next 12 months. In the meantime, Weinbach and Patzner have a collaborative tie to Bend.

“One of the bands that’s on the show [in Bend], This Island Earth, is awesome,” Weinbach says. “I just collaborated with him on his new album he’s been recording. He had me track some vocals for it a couple weeks ago.

He came out here and he recorded a bunch of stuff. He got Anton doing some strings and I did vocals and it was sounding pretty fun.” SW Foxtails Brigade, This Island Earth Sunday, July 23. 9pm.

he song “We Are Not Ourselves”

by Oakland’s Foxtails Brigade sounds like former American Idol contestant turned experimental, art pop singer, Melanie Martinez. Digging in deeper, Foxtails Brigade also brings on comparisons to The Ditty Bops and St. Vincent. While the band doesn’t fall into a specific genre, the similarity they share with these other musicians comes in their storytelling.

Trained in classical guitar, Laura Weinbach fronts Foxtails Brigade alongside Anton Patzner, Joe Lewis, Josh Pollock and Dominic Mercurio.

You may recognize Patzner from his work with indie rock darling, Bright Eyes. The A-list ensemble works together creatively, both onstage and off. One of the most intriguing things about Foxtails Brigade is its use of media. They’re constantly creative — utilizing video, podcasts, and of course, music.

Watching the music videos for “We Are Not Ourselves” and “Far Away and Long Ago,” the band keeps you hooked with stunning set design, creative storytelling and a certain darkness reflected both in the lyrics and the visuals themselves. When talking with Weinbach about the “We Are Not Ourselves” video, she confesses that the vision can be attributed to Mercurio.

“He gets really excited about making music videos, and luckily we’re able to provide him with a basis for doing that,” Weinbach says. “I gave him a couple of choices for songs, and I said, ‘Do you want to work on one of these

• IN THE OLD TRAX BUILDING NEXT TO STARS CABARET

ou may recognize Elijah Goodall from his previous work in the Bend-based band, Isles. Goodall, who started playing music after high school, now holds the reins on a new band called This Island Earth.

He started creating the music for This Island Earth just over a year ago and does all of the composition himself.

This Island Earth plays art pop and experimental rock that incorporates electronic elements. The soulful music evokes emotion through strong storytelling and writing.

Prior to becoming a stay-at-home dad, Goodall taught writing classes at the Nature of Words. With a strong writing background, it’s no surprise he’s developing three concept albums with a distinct narrative. “Wounded Tropic” centers around an island hit by a tropical storm, wiping out the population. Goodall plans to release the albums over the next year and a half, the first dropping in October.

“When I write narratives and short stories and things behind songs, or in this case albums, it’s really more for me,” Goodall says. “It’s to give me a sense of, if I’m writing about a heavy concept, I want to have a story to that concept instead of just an idea.”

The first album takes place before the storm hits, the second during the storm and the third takes place after the storm passes. Each album comprises four different voices — the native people on the island, the island itself, the storm and the ocean.

“Writing the narrative, a lot of it

has been for me to get into the space of whatever voice it is that I’m writing,” Goodall says. “There’s a lot of really elemental imagery in most of these voices, whether it’s water or kind of air and chaos and death is really the storm. The earth tends to be the most nurturing. The island itself is a lot more matriarchal than anything else.

But a lot of those songs that are written from that, the lyrics were written in the first year and a half of having a kid.”

Goodall’s writing background shines through in creating these three concept albums with a strong narrative. Not only does he tackle heavy subject matter, but he challenges himself to write in three distinctly different voices. While he still has over a year before releasing the final chapter, he doesn’t see the completion as the payoff.

“The emotional payoff with writing sometimes comes when you’re nearing the end of a book. And then it can be really overwhelming, whether it was a novel or a graphic novel or even with a film, a lot of times the emotional payoff comes when you complete it,” Goodall says. “With music it feels more like now. It’s just happening.” SW Foxtails Brigade, This Island Earth Sunday, July 23. 9pm.

The Wonders of Flight

Balloons Over Bend Children’s Festival illuminates the community

by Annette Benedetti 29 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 29 / July 20, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Ready, set, lift off! Balloons Over Bend and many other activities take off 7/28.

T

he Balloons Over Bend Children’s Festival is a time-tested tradition that brings the community together to witness the wonder of hot air balloon flight, all while raising money for its most vulnerable members. This year’s event launches with the colorful orbs at sunrise July 28, and continues through the weekend with the Children’s Festival, the Balloon Blast Kids Race and the awe-inspiring Night Glow.

Early risers get the opportunity to meet the pilots of the fire-powered crafts, offering a helping hand and watching as they inflate them and take flight at dawn three mornings in a row. These early morning launches will take place at R.E. Jewell Elementary School.

Night owls will have their own chance to experience the wonder that hot air balloons offer during the Night Glow held on Friday at Riverbend Park and Saturday at Sunriver Resort.

The events take place at dusk. As the sun descends, the pilots pull the propane levers, illuminating and giving life to the colorful beasts still tethered to the ground. This event captivates visitors both young and old and brings each day to a close with a touch of magic.

The Children’s Festival The fun may begin and end with balloons, but on July 29, the festival has packed the day with a multitude of hands-on and interactive activities. Newly located in the Des Chutes Historical Museum parking lot and adjoining grassy grounds, this event features a heavy equipment rodeo, a bicycle rodeo where young cyclists can learn to navigate obstacles, an abundance of booths loaded with art projects, interactive games, face painting and more.

The festival’s new location brings additional opportunities for fun as it provides space for the Balloon Blast Kid’s Race, a new addition to this year’s festivities. The race consists of a child-centric obstacle course loop set up in the museum’s grassy area. Kids run, climb, slide and tunnel their way through each challenge to the finish line.

This event divides competitors by age with children ages 3 and 4 going through the course once, 5 through 7 year-olds going through twice and 8 to 10-year-olds running around the course one time before taking on the obstacles twice. All competitors will end the challenge on a waterslide through the archway.

While much about this year’s festival is new and exciting, returning families will find plenty of the most popular past activities. Children will get their chance to enjoy a large selection of bounce houses. They will even be able to keep the summer heat at bay on a new one that has a water feature.

The ever-popular stuffed animal corral will be onsite and allows kids to pick their favorite animal to take home as a souvenir.

Tickets to the Children’s Festival cost $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

The price of the ticket also includes entry into the Des Chutes Historical Museum’s annual Summer Shootout Marble Tournament, happening the same day. While the purchase of a ticket buys attendees their way into a day filled with fun and excitement, it also lends support to Saving Grace: Imagine A Life Without Violence, a nonprofit serving the Central Oregon community by providing comprehensive family violence and sexual assault services.

Tickets to the festival, along with a full schedule of events, can be found on the Balloons Over Bend Children’s Festival website. SW

The Hiker Guy

By Richard Sitts

— KOLBY KIRK

“I

don’t like getting somewhere.

I like being somewhere. I don’t consider hiking a sport like some people do. Hiking has a style.”

For Kolby Kirk, it’s not about the destination or goal; it’s about the journey itself and everything that you can see and experience along the way. Kirk is all about taking the time to stop and observe along the trail—any and every trail. And along the way, he faithfully creates detailed journals of words and drawings.

“I’m writing it down in a way that, hopefully, when someone reads it later, it will be good data for them,” he says.

“When I write my journals I write for someone who might be reading this 50 years from now.”

Kirk’s website, thehikerguy.com, contains words, photos and drawings inspired by his hikes and travels.

There’s also a book in the works.

Kirk says his grandparents moved to Bend with his infant father in 1947, making him a third-generation Oregonian. He lived in Eugene until the age of nine, and since then has lived all over, he says, from Minnesota to California. He estimates that by the age of 17 he’d lived in 17 different houses.

He landed in Arcadia, Calif., where he had a job in research and development for the matchmaking website, eHarmony— from which he was laid off in 2011. Kirk says that he knew

what he wanted to do within a week of being unemployed: hike the Pacific Coast Trail, move to Bend, meet a girl and get married. He started on the south end of the 2,650-mile PCT and headed north, making it about 1,700 miles before “the weather kicked me off in October,” at Etna, Calif., near the Oregon state line. He’s lived in Bend ever since, and last September married wife Jasmine.

From that 2011 PCT jaunt Kirk ended up with 7,700 photos and 650 pages of journals, including prose and sketches. Earlier this year, his words and drawings began to grace cans of Crux Fermentation Project’s PCT Porter. He’s now in the midst of transcribing all those notes (some 176,000 words) into a book scheduled for publication in 2019.

Kirk’s day job is working as a content specialist at local marketing company G5, which, Kirk says, “is ironic because my website sucks right now.”

He attributes that to neglect, as he works full time at G5 and strives to meet book deadlines.

When asked if he ever wanted to return to the PCT to hike the remaining miles he missed, Kolby is uninterested. However, he says he fell in love with the Sierra Nevada mountains and did return in 2012 to explore side trails

Darwin’s writings about the Galapagos Islands. “We’re in the golden age of science, still.”

As we sat and talked in the shade in downtown Bend, Kirk noticed a longhorn beetle. Its antennae are longer than its body, making for an awkward flight pattern that’s easy to notice, he noted. This year, he’s focusing on learning about beetles and ants. Last year, he says it was lichen. “I like to say I’m a citizen scientist. I just love learning about everything. I am a life-long learner.”

Kirk, 42, says he has been a world traveler since he was 25, and has since visited 30 countries. Most recently, he and Jasmine went on a 16-day honeymoon exploring Italy by backpack, journaling all the way.

At 6’3” and over 300 pounds, Kirk runs roughshod over the stereotypical image of a hiker (although he did lose 90 pounds on that 2011 PCT hike).

“I’m carrying all this weight.” Then, he adds, with a laugh, “I’m like a mule but sometimes I act like an ass.”

Asked how many miles he thinks he’s hiked in his life, he can only venture, “Thousands.” SW

Traffic Circles Are Sights to See

and areas that he missed the first time.

“I’m still waiting to see my first mountain lion. I know they’ve seen me. I’ve seen countless bears, usually their butts running the other way.

“What I was looking for on the PCT I’ve already found. Being on the trail is like life; it’s different for everybody. I always say that the people who are out there on those long trails are either trying to find something or lose something.” Kirk says besides the wonders that nature has to offer, he also finds humanity from fellow hikers and others with whom he comes into contact.

Along the way, Kirk has earned a certificate as an Oregon Master Naturalist, a program offered through Oregon State University. And for the past three years he has been a volunteer for the Deschutes Land Trust. He also has been running his own outdoor journaling program, encouraging others to journal about their own adventures.

He says he tries to capture thoughts and scenes by sketching.

Kirk says he is inspired by the journals of pioneer explorers Lewis and Clark, as well as Charles

In spite of the opinions you may have about driving through Bend’s ubiquitous roundabouts—one thing’s for certain: They generally contain some attractive art.

Check out the intersection of SE 3rd Street and Murphy Road for the latest example. Inside the traffic circle sits a sparkling new sculpture entitled “Gilded River,” installed earlier this summer. It’s one of about two dozen roundabout art projects in Bend—and one of the most visually striking. “The arches of the [tree] trunks of Gilded River come together to represent an outdoor cathedral,” says Ken McCall,

one of three Idaho artists who worked on it. “There are over 500 moving parts.”

So who’s behind all this public art?

Credit local nonprofit, “Art in Public Places,” started by a group of young mothers in the early ‘70s who originally sought out ways to bring both art classes and shows to Central Oregon.

The process starts with AiPP soliciting ideas from artists across the West.

“Bend has a great reputation for public art,” says board member Jody Ward. “It’s a very desirable place for a public artist to have their work displayed. That helps as far as the quality of the artists that apply. We take a look at applications and then narrow

them down.” Eventually, she says, Bend citizens get a chance to comment on the possible choices. Their input plays a role in the final decision—and those decisions aren’t easy. Over 130 applications came in during the last artist call.

Ward also notes that most people mistakenly assume that public funding pays for this art. In fact, she says, it’s funded by private donations—primarily the Bend Foundation, the philanthropic organization established by Brooks Resources.

Either way, public art pieces brighten a community’s shared spaces. “I think they make you smile,” Ward adds. “And as they say—if you don’t like one, keep on driving.” SW

Tasting Notes

Tea tasting in (and from) Central Oregon

This Writer’s Picks for the Best Teas 33

T's Tonics' blends are on display at The Hub in Prinveville, where patrons can pull up a chair and sip their tea.

S

ip. Ah. There’s nothing like an iced tea in the middle of summer. (Or hot tea, according to my insane friend who insists you feel cooler in the long run for it.) The point is, tea is amazing. Bendites are blessed with a host of cafes featuring their own blends of home-roasted coffee, but what often gets overlooked in the caffeine high is just how many tea blenders we have right here in Central Oregon. With several small businesses making premium quality teas that are served at equally local cafes, Central Oregon is overdue for its very own tea guide.

And so, this tea enthusiast had a mission: giving you a taste of the tea offer-

always something new being blended each season, inspired by herbs that grow naturally along the Metolius River.

While the camellia sinensis plant— the leaf that puts the actual black, green, or white tea into a tea blend— can’t be grown here or in most of the United States, Metolius goes the extra step of getting to know the farms and farmers it relies on around the world.

The company’s website features blogs about trips to their partner tea farms in Yunnan, China. Other herbs that aren’t native to Central Oregon are also sourced with care; Metoluis works with a women’s co-op in Kenya, for

wanting flavors to be bold by using natural extracts and flourishes such as chocolate and fruit pieces. “It’s a letdown when you try a flavor of tea that sounds really amazing but doesn’t actually taste like much.” The company boasts dozens of bold flavors. They also sell soaps scented by their own teas.

In Powell Butte it's T’s Tonics, a family business that not only blends tea from local herbs, but also makes a variety of herbal healthcare products.

Tea blends range from “Pain in the Joint Relief Tea,” which helps with exactly what it sounds like, to “Central Oregon Outback,” which helps with allergies and may have the most "We definitely wanted to have a tea company that local ingredients of any tea in existence. stood out."

The Carrot Cake tea by Inspired Leaf Tea really does taste like liquid carrot cake with a little bit of sugar and cream.

Without, it’s a more soothing, but has a still-bold flavor that makes a great guiltfree dessert tea for cool nights.

T’s Tonics may be best known for its herbal tea blends, but its Lavender Earl Grey is one of the best Earl Greys I’ve ever had. The blend has a malty black tea and a generous amount of locally grown lavender. It’s heavenly with a splash of milk. SW

Metolius Tea’s Little Bear tea is great over ice this time of year. The lemongrass in the blend balances out a hint of spicy ginger, and the pear mildly sweetens the tea rather than tasting too strong or artificial.

and Modelo, all of which are around a century or so old. It’s not a genre that has a massive amount of nerd-beer appeal, but it’s the bread-and-butter of several well-known craft outfits, including Ska Brewing (Mexican Logger), Oskar Blues (Beerito) and the in-house Josephs Brau brand sold in Trader Joe’s stores. A few locally-made ones worth checking out: • Tranquilo Especial MSA (Tranquilo): Not a lager beer, strictly speaking, but a “Mexican style ale” made by these local guys, affiliated with the Hola! restaurant. The Especial is like a much nicer version of Corona, but look out for the Amber MSA for more of a flavorful feel.

• ¡Uno Mas! (Mazama): Not to be confused with “Una Mas” (made by Left Coast in California), Uno Mas offers a full-flavored introduction to the genre. The Corvallis-based brewer keeps it pretty traditional with this one, so expect light malt flavor and the kind of crisp finish that does, in fact, inspire a desire for another one quickly.

• Mexican Style Lager (Pfriem): For a truly Northwest take on the genre, look no further than our benevolent friends from Hood River.

Made with a mixture of malted barley and corn, Pfriem’s version has a lot more malty backbone than most in this genre, which features just a bit of light hoppiness that works perfectly with the crisp finish. SW

hole Foods’ annual Brewfest, held in early July each year and benefiting the High Desert Museum, can always be a bit of a challenge. It’s a small, intimate festival, with just over 25 breweries showing up, and all the booths are managed by actual brewery representatives who can tell you much more about their drinks than a volunteer in a T-shirt.

But the fest is in a parking lot in the middle of summer, and that means hydration—and choosing the right beer for the hot weather—is important. That’s where Mexican-style lagers come in, and this year’s festival had no fewer than five of them on hand; a pretty hefty percentage for such a laidback event.

Even before the Spanish conquistadors entered the lands south of what’s now the United States, people were drinking fermented beverages down there. Much of it was made from the agave plant, the origin point of tequila and mescal. Once upon a time, Mexicans overwhelmingly beat the heat by drinking pulque, a sour, yeasty drink made from fermented agave sap. It’s got a sour, viscous flavor and clocks in at around 5 percent ABV, but an influx of German immigrants in the 19th century, as well as a wacky period in the 1860s when Mexico was an “empire” ruled by an Austrian noble, allowed beer to very neatly take pulque’s place on dining-room tables. (Pulque is still made, even enjoying a PBR-style hipster resurgence around Mexico City.)

These days, Mexican lager (itself based on Vienna lager) is popularized by brands such as Dos Equis, Pacifico

SPECIAL GUEST

Possessed by Paul James

47 METERS DOWN: A thriller about two young

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

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

BABY DRIVER: Edgar Wright is the visionary

RADIANCE OF RESISTANCE: From Rise

BAND AID: An adorable romantic-comedy musical about a bickering married couple who turn all of their biggest fights into songs and start a band. Featuring a cast including the wonderful (and writer/director) Zoe Lister-Jones, Adam Pally, Fred Armisen, Colin Hanks and Hannah Simone, “Band Aid” will charm the pants right off of you. So wear two pairs. You're in public. Tin Pan Theater

ROUGH NIGHT: In the spirit of “Bridesmaids”

THE BEGUILED: A remake of a weirdly sexist

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

THE BIG SICK: Based on the real-life romance of comedians Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, “The Big Sick” was one of the breakout movies of Sundance this year. The film walks the line between hilarious and bittersweet so beautifully that anyone who's ever thought they found love will be enchanted. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT:

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

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

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

CARS 3: The continuing adventures of Lightning McQueen and Pixar's most annoying creation: Mater. I know the kids like him but, holy hell, what did we do to deserve Larry the Cable Guy in our ears for another 90 minutes? C'mon Pixar, you're better than this. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DESPICABLE ME 3: Whether or not you'll enjoy this new entry in the massively successful animation series depends on whether you're sick of the minions yet. If you can still handle them, then this is a pretty funny animated movie that kids will love and parents won't feel insulted by.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. Sisters Movie House.

Redmond Cinema.

GOING IN STYLE: A comedy/heist movie

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

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

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Up International and AMZ Productions comes a powerful look at Palestinian refugees through the lens of children who only know what it's like living in occupied territory. For anyone fascinated or enraged by the Palestine/Israel conflict, this film is unmissable. Tin Pan Theater

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

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

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES:

The “final” installment to the “Planet of the Apes” prequel trilogy not only sends the series out on a high note, but also manages to be one of the best films of the year. When all is said and done, “Dawn,” “Rise” and “War” will be recognized as one of the high watermarks of speculative fiction and allegory of the last 30 years. See full review on p 37. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

WISH UPON: An evil old music box grants wishes that turn out to cause super elaborate deaths for everyone involved. This sounds a bit like the “Final Destination” franchise and its Goldbergian murder party but without the charm or inventiveness. They should make more “Final Destination” movies instead of this crap. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

Advanced word is that the DC Extended Universe has finally gotten it right with this one in ways they failed with “Batman Vs. Superman” and “Suicide Squad.” History has been made with this film. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

OUTSIDE 20/40/60

Pickleball: Why yes, this is your mama’s racquet sport!

Look for the 20/40/60 feature, featuring three generations trying out a new activity, in the Source the third week of each month.

By Anne Pick, Nicole Vulcan and Richard Sitts

Anne Pick, 20-something-ish I’ll be honest, despite being the youngest, I considered myself to have the greatest disadvantage when it came to pickleball. Racquet sports have never been my forte. I think it’s the hand-eye coordination element, which is the same reason I’m not successful at video games. Or maybe there’s just too much space in my brain taken up by song lyrics.

The day started out with me aimlessly driving around the parking lot at Pine Nursery Park. When I finally stopped and asked two lovely women where I could find the pickleball courts, the first woman gleefully responded, “Oh! I love pickleball!”

Once I found my way there, Richard, Nicole and I met with Christie

who taught us the basics, the history of the sport and offered information about the Bend Pickleball Club. I was stunned to find out the club has 650 paying members! I’d heard ramblings about pickleball throughout the office, but had no idea it was this popular.

The rules seemed simple enough, and one thing Christie said that resonated with me was that the game was created based in fairness—which I love. I’m generally not that competitive, unless you ask one of my sisters, that is. Rules designed for fair play and making games fun definitely stuck out as a great reason to take up pickleball.

Christie had to keep telling me to keep my wrist straight. Taking that kind of instruction can be difficult for me, as my brain doesn’t compute that way (see above). By the end, she complimented my strokes. Despite losing to her and Nicole twice, I came out feeling confident in the game I’d just learned to play.

I don’t know if I’ll ever play pickleball again, but I would definitely love to introduce the sport to my mom.

Nicole Vulcan, (almost) 40-something I grew up next to a neighbor with a tennis court, where every summer, my mother would send us over to take our turns attending Jean Nash’s tennis camp. While my sisters and I didn’t emerge victorious tennis pros, Williams sisters style, I’m sure my mother had a great time sipping margaritas with us kids out of her hair.

The point: I have a little experience on the tennis court—which meant that I was ready to crush some serves over the net at my opponents on the pickleball court. My mistake. Pickleball doesn’t require the force of tennis, especially on the serve. Where tennis can involve an overhand serve that sees the ball howling over the net, pickleball serves are underhand. They can howl a bit too, but with a smaller court than tennis, and a light, plastic whiffle ball, it’s not quite so much. In fact, “dinking” the ball, as in, hitting it just enough to “dink” it over the net, close-in, is the money shot in this game, not the hard hit.

Unless someone is serving toward you, pickleball is largely played near the “kitchen,” the line closest the net. While you’ll need agility to

shuffle across the court, you’re not likely to suffer extreme rotator cuff or elbow injuries with pickleball. It’s just more mellow—and with my nearing-40 body suffering silly, lingering injuries on the reg, that’s a good thing.

Richard Sitts, 60-something On sweltering, humid summer nights in small-town southeast Kansas, there wasn’t a lot for high schoolers to do on Friday and Saturday nights besides hang out at the lighted asphalt tennis courts in the city park. Rather than burning gas and cruising the repetitive loop through town, we’d work up a dank sweat on those dark, muggy nights. Slurpies were our salvation!

Who knew that tennis experience would come in handy 45 years later when I tried out pickleball for the first time. Knocking that baseball-sized plastic ball around brought back ingrained memories of nailing perfect tennis and ping-pong shots.

Christie, our pickleball sensei, said that my tennis and ping-pong experience would serve me well. During our two games of doubles (I won’t mention the scores—I’m sorry, Ann, you deserved better) I hit many more bad shots than good, but I could see myself getting better at this game and having fun doing so. I liked how pickleball concentrates the fun of tennis and ping-pong into a smaller space, thus requiring less movement on my part.

Another thing: Pickleball people are about the friendliest folks you’ll come across. Christie could not have been a kinder and more supportive teacher, not to mention a walking

encyclopedia of pickleball knowledge.

My wife, Floy, dropped by to watch us play, and another pickleball club member, Brian (I didn’t catch his last name), reached out and gave her a tutorial on the sport on an adjoining court.

Pickleball wasn’t entirely foreign to me; I wrote a story about it several years ago, back when it appeared to be an activity geared toward older participants. But now, it’s ON for all ages.

Even former pro tennis players are lunging into the sport.

It’s fun, you can play at your own speed, and there’s an informal vibe that is welcoming. And bottom line, it just seems like a great way to get some fresh air and exercise with minimal wear on the bod.

N

ow that all the Wimbledon stuff has died down, the world can stop talking about tennis, and focus instead on the number-one growing racquet sport in the nation: pickleball.

People love the sport; perhaps even disproportionally so in Central Oregon, where the Bend Pickleball Club boasts on its website as having over 2,500 members. The website of Cascade Indoor Sports, soon to open a private indoor pickleball-slash-trampoline facility in northeast Bend, recalls how club members, a few short years ago, used to sneak onto the tennis courts at Pine Nursery Park, eventually working out a deal with Bend Park & Recreation District to build dedicated courts. The District offered the land for the courts; the club raised half the funds to build them. According to that account, the club went from 84 to 350 members in one year.

With membership soaring and the club set to host the U.S.A. Pickleball Association’s Pacific Northwest Regionals Aug. 10 to 13, we set out to find out what all the fuss is about.

Christie Gestvang, Central Oregon ambassador for the U.S.A. Pickleball Club and owner of accessories/instruction company Pickleball Dawg, was happy to oblige, meeting us on Sunday morning for a primer.

The first lesson: Pickleball is a combination of racquetball, ping pong and tennis… and it’s a lot more fun than watching Wimbledon on TV.

The Pandora Moth Has Returned

Think you need to eradicate them with chemicals? Don’t do that. Just wait a week.

By Jim Anderson

Y

ep, those are Pandora moths flying around your front porch lights.

If they could speak, they’d be shouting, “We’re baaaaaack!”

However, this has been a minor outbreak. Last time they appeared in massive numbers was in 1990 and ’91.

The earliest Pandora outbreak recorded was in 1893, when federal Indian agents noticed the Klamath People roasting the larvae.

As you can see, they’re attracted to lights—so if you don’t want them to lay eggs on your pines, turn off your lights; you’ll save energy and money at the same time.

The Pandora moth’s life cycle works something like this: around the end of June, the adult moths appear (dig their way out of the ground where they went from caterpillar to adult in the pupae stage) and lay eggs, which hatch in August. Those larva satisfy their hunger by eating the needles of pines— and only pines. Pandora moths are not found everywhere. It’s the loose pumice soils that make this part of North

HOME PRICE ROUND-UP

from $193 in June 2016.

Sales for June were mainly among the low and middle price points. The largest share of homes sold were in the $100,000 to $400,000 price range comprising about 49 percent of total home sales, followed by the $400,000$600,000 range at 29 percent. The remaining home sales for the higher end of the market comprised about 22 percent.

Building permits issued decreased from 91 in June 2016 to 70 in June 2017 and inventory levels continue to remain tight. Most industry analysts feel that a four to six month inventory level is needed for a balanced market that favors neither buyers nor sellers.

Most of these analysts are also saying that new construction is not keeping up with housing demand.

AUGUST 18TH-19TH 2017 SHAKESPEARE’S EPIC PLAY FOR

TWO NIGHTS IN DRAKE PARK

BEND, OREGON

A guy friend of 20 years and I once fooled around years ago. Though he has a girlfriend, he keeps throwing sexual remarks into our conversations, sending inappropriate texts, and asking me to send naked photos. I wouldn’t be interested even if he were single, and I’ve been giving subtle hints, like “ha-ha…gotta go,” right after he says something provocative, but it isn’t working. How do I politely get him to stop without ruining a very long friendship?

—Upset As a means of communication, hinting to a man is like having a heartfelt conversation with your salad.

This isn’t to say men are dumb. They just aren’t emotional cryptographers. Social psychologist Judith A. Hall finds that women are generally far better at spotting and interpreting nonverbal messages (from, say, facial expressions and body language, including that female specialty, the pout).

Women tend to use their own ability for decoding unspoken stuff as the standard for what they expect from men. So, for example, the longer a man takes to notice that his girlfriend is pouting (perhaps about what was initially some minor to-do) the darker things get — with hate glares and maybe some cabinet-slamming…and then, the grand finale: “Hey, heartless! Time for a monthlong reunion with your first sex partner, aka your right hand!”

There’s also a major sex difference in how males and females speak. A body of research finds that from childhood on, males tend to be direct: “Gimme my truck, butthead!”

Females tend to be indirect (couching what they want in hints and polite and even apologetic language): “Um, sorry, but I think that’s my Barbie.”

Psychologist Joyce Benenson points out that these conversational sex differences line right up with evolved sex differences in our, uh, job descriptions. Men evolved to be the warrior-protectors of the species. This is not done with coy hints: “Oh, Genghis, you look so much more tan and handsome while invading our neighbors to the north.”

Women’s mealy-mouthing, on the other hand, dovetails with a need to avoid physical confrontation, which could leave them unable to have children or to care for the ones they’ve already had. However, in women’s self-protectively not quite saying what they mean, they trade off being understood — especially by men.

Making matters worse, research by

evolutionary psychologists Martie Haselton and David Buss on the “sexual overperception bias” in men suggests that the male mind evolved to be a bit dense to a woman’s signals that she isn’t interested. Basically, men seem evolutionarily predisposed to make errors in judgment in whether to pursue or keep pursuing a woman — erring in whichever way would be least costly to their mating interests. So, for example, you might eventually forgive this guy for all the tacky come-ons, but his genes won’t if they miss that vagina-shaped bus into future generations.

In other words, in giving this guy “subtle hints,” you aren’t being polite; you’re being wildly ineffective. Yank off the marshmallow fluff and tell him: “I need you to kill all the sex talk. Immediately.

And yes, this includes requests for naked selfies.” (Be prepared to need to repeat yourself.)

If he really is a friend, he’ll continue being one.

He might even become a better one — the sort you can call anytime, day or night, from the coldest place on the globe, and he’ll say, “I’ll be Amy Alkon there with the sled dogs pronto,” not, “Text me a shot of your boobs before you die of hypothermia!”

Eau Gag Me

I love how my boyfriend smells, but I hate his new cologne. The smell literally makes me queasy. Is it even my place to ask him to stop wearing it? How do I tell him I don’t like it without it being mean?

—Plagued Try to focus on the positive: You find him extremely jumpable whenever he isn’t wearing a $185 bottle of what it would smell like if sewage and verbena had a baby.

Unfortunately, it seems that his cologne and your immune system are poorly matched. Biologist August Hammerli and his colleagues find that a person’s fragrance preferences correlate with their particular set of infectious intruder-tracking genes, called the “major histocompatibility complex.” So, in not liking your boyfriend’s cologne, it isn’t that you think he’s an idiot with bad taste; it’s that your…I dunno, great-great-grandma got it on with some hot peasant with the “verbena smells like dead, rotting chickens” gene.

The science is your way in: “Sadly, your cologne does not play well with my genes...”

Cushion the blow with something sweet, like, “I know you love it, and I wish I loved it, too.” Suggest you shop together for a new cologne for him (ideally something that makes you want to get naked, and not just down to your World War II gas mask).

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I predict that four weeks from now you will be enjoying a modest but hearty feeling of accomplishment — on one condition: You must not get diverted by the temptation to achieve trivial successes. In other words, I hope you focus on one or two big projects, not lots of small ones. What do I mean by “big projects”?

How about these: taming your fears; delivering a delicate message that frees you from an onerous burden; clarifying your relationship with work; and improving your ability to have the money you need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’m very attracted to things that I can’t define,” says Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. I’d love for you to adopt that attitude, Virgo. You’re entering the Season of Generous Mystery. It will be a time when you can generate good fortune for yourself by being eager to get your expectations overturned and your mind blown. Transformative opportunities will coalesce as you simmer in the influence of enigmas and anomalies. Meditate on the advice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “I want to beg you to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’ve compiled a list of four mantras for you to draw strength from. They’re designed to put you in the proper alignment to take maximum advantage of current cosmic rhythms. For the next three weeks, say them periodically throughout the day. 1. “I want to give the gifts I like to give rather than the gifts I’m supposed to give.” 2. “If I can’t do things with excellence and integrity, I won’t do them at all.” 3. “I intend to run on the fuel of my own deepest zeal, not on the fuel of someone else’s passions.” 4. “My joy comes as much from doing my beautiful best as from pleasing other people.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The world will never fully know or appreciate the nature of your heroic journey. Even the people who love you the most will only ever understand a portion of your epic quest to become your best self. That’s why it’s important for you to be generous in giving yourself credit for all you have accomplished up until now and will accomplish in the future. Take time to marvel at the majesty and miracle of the life you have created for yourself. Celebrate the struggles you’ve weathered and the liberations you’ve initiated. Shout “Glory hallelujah!” as you acknowledge your persistence and resourcefulness. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to do this tricky but fun work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect you may have drug-like effects on people in the coming weeks. Which drugs? At various times, your impact could resemble cognac, magic mushrooms, and Ecstasy — or sometimes all three simultaneously. What will you do with all that power to kill pain and alter moods and expand minds? Here’s one possibility: Get people excited about what you’re excited about, and call on them to help you bring your dreams to a higher stage of development. Here’s another: Round up the support you need to transform any status quo that’s boring or unproductive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” So said psychologist Carl Jung. What the hell did that meddling, self-important know-it-all mean by that? Oops. Sorry to sound annoyed. My cranky reaction may mean I’m defensive about the possibility that I’m sometimes a bit

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A source of tough and tender inspiration seems to be losing some of its signature potency. It has served you well. It has given you many gifts, some difficult and some full of grace. But now I think you will benefit from transforming your relationship with its influence. As you might imagine, this pivotal moment will be best navigated with a clean, fresh, open attitude. That’s why you’ll be wise to thoroughly wash your own brain — not begrudgingly, but with gleeful determination. For even better results, wash your heart, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A “power animal” is a creature selected as a symbolically by a person who hopes to imitate or resonate with its strengths. The salmon or hare might be a good choice if you’re seeking to stimulate your fertility, for example. If you aspire to cultivate elegant wildness, you might choose an eagle or horse.

For your use in the coming months, I propose a variation on this theme: the “power fruit.” From now until at least May 2018, your power fruit should be the ripe strawberry. Why? Because this will be a time when you’ll be naturally sweet, not artificially so; when you will be juicy, but not dripping all over everything; when you will be compact and concentrated, not bloated and bursting at the seams; and when you should be plucked by hand, never mechanically.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Greek word *philokalia* is translated as the “love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent.” I propose that we make it your keyword for the next three weeks — the theme you keep at the forefront of your awareness everywhere you go. But think a while before you say yes to my invitation. To commit yourself to being so relentlessly in quest of the sublime would be a demanding job. Are you truly prepared to adjust to the poignant sweetness that might stream into your life as a result?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s a favorable time to strengthen your fundamentals and stabilize your foundation. I invite you to devote your finest intelligence and grittiest determination to this project. How? Draw deeply from your roots. Tap into the mother lode of inspiration that never fails you. Nurture the web of life that nurtures you. The cosmos will offer you lots of help and inspiration whenever you attend to these practical and sacred matters. Best-case scenario: You will bolster your personal power for many months to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two talking porcupines are enjoying an erotic tryst in a cactus garden. It’s a prickly experience, but that’s how they like it. “I always get horny when things get thorny,” says one. Meanwhile, in the rose garden next door, two unicorns wearing crowns of thorns snuggle and nuzzle as they receive acupuncture from a swarm of helpful hornets. One of the unicorns murmurs, “This is the sharpest pleasure I’ve ever known.” Now here’s the moral of these far-out fables, Gemini: Are you ready to gamble on a cagey and exuberant ramble through the brambles? Are you curious about the healing that might become available if you explore the edgy frontiers of gusto?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spain’s most revered mystic poet was St. John of the Cross, who lived from 1542 to 1591. He went through a hard time at age 35, when he was kidnapped by a rival religious sect and imprisoned in a cramped cell. Now and then he was provided with scraps of bread and dried fish, but he almost starved to death. After ten months, he managed to escape and make his way to a convent that gave him sanctuary. For his first meal, the nuns served him warm pears with cinnamon. I reckon that you’ll soon be celebrating your own version of a jailbreak, Leo. It’ll be less drastic and more metaphorical than St. John’s, but still a notable accomplishment. To celebrate, I invite you to enjoy a ritual meal of warm pears with cinnamon.

preachy myself. Maybe I don’t like an authority figure wagging his finger in my face because I’m suspicious of my own tendency to do that. Hmmm. Should I therefore refrain from giving you the advice I’d planned to? I guess not. Listen carefully, Capricorn: Monitor the people and situations that irritate you. They’ll serve as mirrors. They’ll show you unripe aspects of yourself that may need adjustment or healing.

If you say it wasn’t racial When they shot him in his tracks Well I guess that means that you ain’t black It means that you ain’t black — Drive By Truckers “What It Means”

W

e recently passed a terribly sad oneyear anniversary July 6, and I’ve been struggling to frame the tragedy properly. It addresses something that I know exists, but that doesn’t mean I’m the best person to speak to it. Because even though I recognize the problem, I think I may still be part of the problem: White Privilege and Cannabis.

On July 6, 2016, a traffic stop in St. Paul, Minn., turned horrific in a matter of seconds for the driver, Philando Castile, his fiance, Lavish Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter. Castile, a 32 year old nutrition services supervisor at a Montessori Magnet School, was licensed to carry a firearm, and he told the officer he was armed in a calm, deliberate manner.

Things got really bad, really quick, after that.

In a video that you may have seen (and if so, will never forget), Philando Castile was murdered by the officer at point blank range while Lavish live streamed the shooting—and Philando’s death—on Facebook. It’s horrible to watch, from Philando painfully bleeding out, Lavish narrating what no one should ever have to see, to her daughter seeking to calm down her sobbing mother while they sit together in the back of the police cruiser by saying “Mom, please don’t scream ‘cause I don’t want you to get shooted!”

Jeramino Yanez, the officer who shot him, was charged with felony manslaughter. As we have seen so many times so as to have become sickeningly surreal yet familiar, he was acquitted.

Recently, a transcript was released of Yanez discussing what had happened during the stop, which he gave the day after the shooting. His justification for his actions? He smelled marijuana.

These are his words. This really happened.

“I thought, I was gonna die and I thought if he’s, if he has the, the guts

and the audacity to smoke marijuana in front of the five-year-old girl and risk her lungs and risk her life by giving her secondhand smoke and the front seat passenger doing the same thing, then what, what care does he give about me,” Yanez told investigators.

He continues later in the interview to say by way of justifications of his actions: “Because usually people that carry firearms carry ‘em on their waistband. Um, and or, in between the seats and being that the inside of the vehicle smelled like marijuana, I didn’t know if he was keeping it on him for protection from a drug deal, or anything like or any other people trying to rip him.”

Never mind that Minnesota has a licensed regulated medical cannabis program, so there was every reason to assume that Castile had a perfectly valid reason for smelling like cannabis.

(And we don’t have anything other that Yanez’s assertion that he did.)

I’ve hotboxed literally over 100-plus vehicles, though never as a driver. But I wasn’t smoking alone, and yep, we got pulled over more than once.

At no time did it ever cross my mind we would be shot, because smelling like a plant is not an offense that’s punishable by death. That’s my white privilege showing. I take for granted that my consumption of cannabis will not result in a disproportionate response by law enforcement, resulting in my demise.

This is why, as a cannabis industry still vastly owned and operated by white people, we need to do more. To encourage investment/ownership into minority cannabis businesses, to support cannabis conviction expungements for people of color, and to speak up on the vastly disparate arrests and sentencing for cannabis offenses placed upon POC. You can start with checking out the Portland-based nonprofit Minority Cannabis Business Association (www. mcba.com). They are addressing these issues and others.

And what of Officer Yanez, who shot a young black man because he may have smelled like pot smoke? He recently resigned from the force after being acquitted, and took a $43,500 payout.

All because he “smelled marijuana.”
