OPINION Bad Timing

Clearing out a homeless camp one week before the eclipse adds insult to injury

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / July 27, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

4

D

uring last week’s forum on human trafficking and the eclipse held at St. Charles Medical Center, representatives from J Bar J Youth Services and Saving Grace discussed how the upcoming influx of eclipse tourists will create an additional burden on the homeless population of Central Oregon. When spots fill up at the youth shelter run by J Bar J, Human Trafficking Case Manager Paulina Machi said advocates will sometimes secure hotel rooms for the overflow. During the eclipse, however, hotel rooms will be filled—causing local groups to come together to organize a “pop up shelter” to house the people in need, who will continue to need services throughout the event. With tens of thousands of additional people visiting for the eclipse Aug. 21, social services resources are already going to be stretched thin.

Add in the influx of several hundred houseless people currently encamped east of Redmond, and the problem is only going to get worse. In a July 12 letter, officials from Deschutes County announced plans to clear the public and private land owned by the county, Central Oregon Irrigation District and the Redmond School District of the hundreds of people camped there— many who have been camped there for years. In the research for our Feb. 22 story, “The Many Faces of Homelessness,” some people told the Source Weekly that they’d been camped there in RVs, cars or tents for upwards of seven years.

Now, officials plan to clear that land by Aug. 15—a mere days before an event that is already promising to

strain local resources to their limits. Reports are that one landowner, COID, plans to sell its land there.

According to the July 12 letter from the county, the clearing was intended “to prevent continued illegal and adverse impacts on the land.”

Public lands typically have a maximum camping limit—a time limit, where applicable, that many encamped there have far exceeded. Likewise, it’s perfectly within a private landowner’s rights to disallow individuals from camping on their land. While we admit that having hundreds of people camped on land where they are technically not allowed to stay for an extended period of time is not ideal, simply kicking them out doesn’t solve the issue; it simply kicks that can down the road.

The timing of this action is terrible.

Shelters in our area are going to be far exceeding maximum; many already are.

Hotels, motels and campgrounds are already at capacity for eclipse week.

Where will the displaced people go?

Will they fill up parks and residential streets because there is nowhere else to land? If you weren’t already aware of the extent of the homeless problem in our area, prepare to have it come front and center during eclipse week.

We hope that with the crunch in support and emergency services during this special event, the private land-owners and public land managers will hit the pause button on relocation and wait for a time when Central Oregon’s social services are in a better position to accommodate this vulnerable population’s needs.

WHY I ORGANIZED THE WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE IN BEND The decision made me nervous. I was told it was “off-message” and “crude.” “Bend isn’t ready for this, stop trying to shock people, Lief.” And my favorite: “This is a family-friendly town, stop trying to turn Bend into Portland.” That line came from the most radical Vietnam Era protesters I work with as a community organizer.

The Source Weekly published “Woah, Bend! You sure don’t like naked bike rides” (7/12) featuring mostly disparaging comments from the World Naked Bike Ride event page and ignored several supportive ones. Today, I read a news article about a similar controversy which inspired me to write this. A woman was arrested for her lack of clothing in public. These were some responses, reminiscent of the Source comments.

“People who don’t respect the rules don’t deserve to live here.”

“What she did doesn’t fall under personal freedom. It’s clear that she wanted to provoke people and go against social rules and norms. She deserves to be punished.”

Was she also a naked cyclist? No, she was Model Kholoud, a social media star in Saudi Arabia. Her crime? Walking around the street in a skirt and sleeveless t-shirt.

It’s hard to explain to people who are offended by something shocking and radical why it is important. When confronted with censorship, many will say “If you don’t like it, don’t participate, and let others express their rights.” I disagree: if you were uncomfortable by the 15-20 naked cyclists that rode the streets, if you don’t understand why it is important to combat shame, to be vulnerable and weird in a traditional or conservative town, if you don’t understand the outlandish link between riding a bike and being nude, then join us next year.

Get out of your comfort zone, and meet the 41-year-old woman diagnosed with terminal cancer, recently divorced, with “Look at me, Wild and Free” painted on her open chest. Meet the gay introvert new to Bend from the east coast who just didn’t think he fit in this town. Meet the lifelong commuting cyclist that has fought shame against her body and travels to participate in World Naked Bike Rides in different towns.

It’s an indescribable feeling to take all your fears and channel them through a defiant, anti-shame stunt...and then to be cheered for it, as every pub we passed did

LES SCHWAB CONCERT FLOATS Anyone who has floated a river for a concert at Les Schwab Amphitheater knows that there are security guards hired by The Old Mill to stop floaters from getting out on the banks of the river. The sidewalk is also roped off to prevent land-based music poachers. Although The Old Mill is private property and they have every right to prevent people from eavesdropping on the concert, the method of preventing the river folk from getting out is actually not entirely legal and is potentially dangerous.

Per Oregon.gov: “The public has rights to use the beds and banks of navigable waterways for any legal activity, such as boating, fishing and swimming, including pulling your canoe or kayak onto the bank.”

I saw a female security guard at last week’s Jack Johnson’s concert physically stop an obviously drunk young man with a leaking tube from getting out on the bank on the river. He was instead forced to try and float downstream about a ¼ mile to get out where there was not security. The Oregon.gov website also states that: “In cases of emergency or if it is necessary to travel around a barrier, the public may temporarily go above the line of ordinary high water.” For this intoxicated man, who barely had a flotation device, it may have been an emergency for him to get out in the restricted area. The people who have come close to hypothermia on the river could also make the case that they have an emergency situation requiring them to get out on The Old Mill property.

I understand that there is a “riparian area” along this section of the waterfront and support the goal of only trampling one section of the green space. However, the way The Old Mill is currently proceeding is potentially dangerous to human health, safety and welfare. If someone really needs to get out of the river, you cannot stop them, even if you are the landowner. Additionally, do we really believe that The Old Mill owns the sidewalk north of the freedom bridge, or is roping off this area taking away public access to the publicly owned river trail?

IN RESPONSE TO, DEAR MIDDLE-AGED MAN DRIVING BROWN PORSCHE (7/20) Hey Tory, you did nothing wrong. That guy is a menace! I just got home from having that ass-pilot come screeching to a halt nearly rear-ending me. When I opened my fresh Source Weekly, there was your letter describing him and his behavior perfectly.

I sure hope Bend traffic officers read The Source and will be watching for this guy.

He needs to be revoked before he hurts someone.

IN RESPONSE TO, OH DAM. IT’S BACK (7/19) Interesting that you exclude the pond in front of the Old Mill District from your criticism. Drake Park provides a lot of shade for the river compared with the barren banks of Mill Pond. I can show you a 1935 aerial view of Bend that shows the mud flats below Galveston existed just a few years after the pond was created. The Old Mill Pond is the current settling basin, but, hey, no problem there?

Developers and Bend Parks did some shady land deals to get title to the bottom of the pond. But their plan is not to dredge the river. It’s to burden downtown businesses for tax money.

The only thing that would be better for the Old Mill would be if they could drain Mirror Pond and the downtown businesses.

Now you’re leading the charge and playing into their plan.

I know Source editors would like to see a free-flowing river so they can cast their fly rods into a downtown river. But do you seriously think that you can revive a fishery in a city of 100,000 fishermen? Wake up and smell that nasty smell. It’s not dead fish. It’s corruption.

new bill aims to aid people who find kids or dogs in hot cars, and want to help without the fear of criminal or civil liabilities. HB 2732 recently passed unopposed in the Oregon Senate and Gov. Kate Brown signed it in to law on June 22.

You’ve seen it before. A 95-degree day and there’s a pup panting, enclosed in a sealed vehicle. Or worse: an infant strapped to its child seat, sweating and crying for help. But did you know that it takes only 10 minutes for a car up to heat 110 degrees on an 80-degree day?

“There are cases of children dying on days as cool as 70 degrees Fahrenheit,” said Researcher Catherine McLaren, MD, in a 2005 Stanford Medicine report that measured the temperature rise inside a parked car on sunny days with highs from 72 to 96 degrees F. With that long-touted 300 days of sunshine per year in Central Oregon, cars can reach beyond 100 degrees in a matter of minutes because car windows absorb the sun’s rays; insulating the inside. “It’s not fairly uncommon to receive calls multiple times a day, regarding pets and infants trapped in vehicles,” says Sgt. Tom Pine of the City of Bend Police Department.

HB2732 allows for reasonable force — for example, the breakage of windows — to remove a child or animal in imminent danger and moments away from suffering harm. Such persons would not be subject to criminal or civil liability, provided they call the police either before or after breaking into the vehicle and remain relatively close to the scene.

“There’s a high threshold with what a police officer in contrast to what a lay person will deem as imminent harm,” cautions Pine, “If a child or animal is not showing signs of distress and a person broke in, then they wouldn’t be protected.”

Although calls come in daily regarding hot cars, there have been no incidents of good Samaritans breaking into vehicles in the City of Bend since the law’s passage, according to Sgt. Pine. When officers do receive those calls, they require a common sense approach.

“There isn’t a temperature point that is a definitive point as to when we will act,” says Pine. “Officers are

“We go back to that common sense approach though, so if it’s 95 degrees out and I have the a/c on and am still sweating like a pig, no pun intended,” jokes Pine, “then I know it’s a more dire situation than on a 68-degree day.” trained to assess the entire situation and make a judgement call based on a common sense approach. When a life needs to be saved, yes, they will break windows.”

Pine says officers have tools that can measure the inside air temperature from the exterior. Most officers also have access to crowbars and leveraging tools. “We go back to that common sense approach though, so if it’s 95 degrees out and I have the a/c on and am still sweating like a pig, no pun intended,” jokes Pine, “then I know it’s a more dire situation than on a 68-degree day.”

Similar to how a greenhouse insulates regardless of ambient temperature, researchers in the 2005 Stanford study found that a car’s interior heats up an average of 40 degrees within the first hour.

The research study concluded that parents should take children and pets with them at all times. Similarly, Pine pointed to a recent case where a man left his 4-month-old child unattended for approximately 13 minutes while in a Home Depot and was cited with child neglect. “Certainly, for children if you leave them and they are in harm’s way, then you can be charged with child neglect and for pets it would be animal abuse.” Pine gives this word of advice as we languish into the dog days of summer, “If you can’t see your child or the animal and you can’t be reached within a moments notice...you’re probably too far away.” SW

The Missing Jigsaw Piece

By Magdalena Bokowa

Bend 2030 offers up 12 solutions to the Bend City Council to foster currently-elusive middle market housing

The Housing Reality “There’s barely anything available below $400,000 in Bend right now,” says Kim Gammond, communications and public affairs director of the Central Oregon Association of REALTORS. “Even if you have 20 percent down, you’re getting beat out by cash buyers from out of the area, and you’re not competitive in this market. There’s no inventory.”

Year after year, Gammond notes that Bend real estate values have been increasing by a steady 10 percent.

“Even if you’re pushed to the outlying communities, such as Redmond, it’s rising at 8 percent a year.” And Prineville and La-Pine? A whopping 20 percent.

The standard homes—often “three bed, two bath”— have all but disappeared in the Central Oregon market, according to Gammond, while the “missing middle” — the triplexes, fourplexes, bungalow courts and townhomes that add high density to the landscape are often absent in midsized, burgeoning towns such as Bend.

Add in a rapid price increase which conditioned a market to support only the highest income earners, and you’ve got a squeeze on most of the market.

As prices rise, low-income earners are pushed into the middle market, often spending more than the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 30-percent-salary-for-housing recommendation.

To tackle the “missing middle,” local nonprofit Bend 2030 established its Bend Collaborative Housing Workgroup Steering Committee, working on increasing supply, availability and affordability so that middle earners can afford to live in Bend.

Demand Doesn’t Always Equal Supply Bend 2030 recently concluded a 12-month, 500-hour project, including a panel of city workers, developers, builders, realtors, architects, affordable housing advocates, community leaders and city councilors to develop policies aimed at increasing middle market housing. Focused on families earning between 80 to 175 percent of the Area Median Income, the group recommended tools to spur housing for those making between $40,000 to $90,000.

“We started with 50 or so tools,” jokes

Gammond, “and we narrowed it down to 12 that were put to City Council.”

“City Council was very receptive with our proposals,” says Bend 2030 Executive Director Erin Foote Morgan. “They help prioritize solutions to our housing crisis, which may be implemented with strong support from a broad cross-section of community members and organizations.”

First Things First For Foote Morgan, the most important tool is the first one: implementing the new urban growth boundary plan, involving rezoning areas to fit into the comprehensive plan adopted — but not fully implemented — in November 2016. Residential or industrial zones could be converted to multi-use zoning to allow for additional housing and greater density. The UGB expansion, at times controversial and hotly debated, was approved and mandated by the State of Oregon last year.

“The City did actually rezone some areas after the UGB passed, for example, from industrial to mixed-urban in the new Korpine and Central Districts,” says Kirk Schueler, president and CEO of local developer Brooks Resources Corporation. Both Schueler and Gammond were members of the Bend 2030 committee.

Schueler thinks the rezoning of only a few districts and not the entire comprehensive plan happened because certain areas can be controversial. “Anytime you’re changing a zone, a dispute with neighbors can occur. They may not want to be next to something that’s changing from residential to multi-use.

We hear a lot of, ‘Well when I bought it, it was residential.”

The State requires the City to have a comprehensive land-use plan, and higher-density—rather than sprawl—is preferred. Schueler points to the Vehicle Miles Traveled, an index assessed

by The U.S. Federal Highway Administration. Lowering VMT, often through high-density areas and transportation corridors, is the go-to method adopted in Bend.

“The thought is that small community models yield a better transportation system and lower VMT,” says Schueler. “If you can bike or walk somewhere, then you lower VMT, and higher density

areas often yield amenities and better transportation systems. It’s very expensive to operate a public transport system if you only have a few people using it. You need to have that higher demand created by higher density.”

Still, the density question has brought some controversy. In a letter sent to Bend 2030 May 24, Paul Dewey, executive director of Central Oregon Landwatch, wrote:“While we share the goal of achieving more affordable housing and middle housing, we don’t believe the case has been made that additional density measures in existing neighborhoods beyond what was adopted in the UGB Plan are necessarily appropriate at this time. We are not convinced that what will be built will end up being either affordable or middle housing and we believe that existing efficiency measures need to be tried out to test both their effectiveness and their compatibility with existing neighborhoods.”

Greater Density That Fits the Neighborhood To accommodate an increase in housing, the 2030 group also recommended allowing fourplexes in standard residential zones—provided the floor plans were scaled to reflect the size of a traditional single family home. “Fourplexes can be designed quite beautifully and in line with the currently aesthetic we have here in Bend,” says Foote Morgan.

“They can look like a larger home if done right.”

Foote Morgan is quick to point out that the goal is not to implement tall, blocky apartment buildings, but rather, fourplexes and similar buildings that fit the feel of the neighborhood.

“You see them in the westside,” says Gammond, “They are adorable and desirable, with a low impact on the community.”

Incentivize, Incentivize, Incentivize Taking out these zoning restrictions would ostensibly motivate developers to build densely, as would restructuring System Development Charges, the group posits. Currently, there’s no incentive for a builder to build smaller units, as the SDCs they pay are the same for a 3,000 square foot home or an 850 square foot apartment, Foote Morgan says. The recommendations did not include word of reducing or eliminating SDCs currently taken by Bend Park and Recreation District.

In a similar vein, the group says tool seven—allowing for a vertical housing tax exemption—would also bolster density. The tier system would mean waiving property taxes of up to 80 percent for a 10-year period, based on the number of floors of residential housing built above commercial

spaces. “So a developer would be incentivized, for every floor above the commercial space, up to 80 percent,” says Foote Morgan. The report noted that the average height of these buildings is only three to four stories. Cities including Grants Pass, Roseburg, Eugene and Portland have already implemented similar strategies.

Not Just Houses; Transport Too Other recommendations include improving urban transportation corridors throughout the city that are zoned as mixed-urban, and creating transitional corridors around higher-density arterial roads. The idea is to make non-vehicle travel easier.

Tool six tackles reducing parking requirements for new builds, currently averaging two spaces per unit, in order to foster less need for vehicle use. The recommendation could also mean more on-street parking, increasing congestion. On the flip side, reducing parking requirements would also incentivize infill units such as Accessory Dwelling Units to further lower housing production costs.

All Talk?

For now, Bend 2030’s recommendations are simply that — recommendations. Foote Morgan says the City Council was receptive to the recommendations during a July 19 presentation. Schueler, noting his 23 years of industry experience, cautions: “Nothing in real estate moves fast. Nothing in planning occurs overnight.”

Still, the first step is planning.

“If you don’t do the planning, if you don’t have the vision, the code, the zoning, then you really will be left in a much worse place,” Schueler notes. He points to the Old Mill District, which, “is just now finally taking shape and yet it was started some 15-17 years ago. Or NorthWest Crossing; we started that vision back in 2001 and it took a long time for it to come true. And it didn’t please everyone.”

The committee will host a number of upcoming public meetings to showcase the recommendations and give community members the chance to offer input.

Gammond laments, “How do you create communities that look like our past community? How do we start blending these communities together so we aren’t just in our own silos and single family homes in the cul-de-sacs? ...The recommendations reflect a spectrum of our community values: sustainability, home ownership, livability and attainable housing.” SW For the full list of recommendations, visit bend2030.org

GRAND OPENING

You got the cat/dog from a shelter or a designer breeder, or maybe even from someone who was looking for a “farm” where they could dispose of their pet. Now that you have that pet, things are going pretty smooth. You feed them, water them and maybe even let them in your bed as a snuggle buddy.

You have the basics down—but even with all your experience as the loving human of a loving pet, you still have questions. That’s where this feature comes in: answering some of the questions you may find yourself wondering during the Dog Days of Summer.

Did my dog actually get neutered?

You took your dog to the vet to get neutered, but not long after, you notice he looks like he’s rocking a package on the back end again. So what’s up with that?

“Dogs don’t do well with THC, but they do do well with CBD,” Maas says. “A lot of veterinarians recommend CBD or CBD compounds, and you can actually get that over the counter, but the THC is definitely an issue. People will often make some brownies or some butter and dogs will get a hold of it and eat a whole plate and they’ll get a massive dose of THC—so be cautious with recreational or medicinal cannabis. There is some toxicity risk with animals that you have to be careful with. But we do prescribe CBD here, some for anxiety and some for pain or motion control.”

Bottom line? Talk to your vet if you’re looking to test out some CBD (another active compound in cannabis products, also used for anxiety in humans) for your pet.

Dr. Byron Maas of Bend Veterinary Clinic says: “Most of the neutering is done with castration tools—so you remove the testicles is the standard way of doing it. So people oftentimes call us up after getting their dog neutered, saying ‘Hey it looks like there’s still testicles there,’ and that’s actually part of the urinary tract. They can sometimes get a little swelling there, and people often confuse that for testicles.”

So don’t worry. Your dog’s not makin’ babies anytime soon.

So what’s with…

Pet Psych Meds

You probably know someone with a crazy Chihuahua whose human has had to resort to puppy Prozac to handle the little maniac’s behavior. ‘Sup with that? Turns out, Prozac is used for both dogs and cats—and no, you shouldn’t take your pet’s dose when times get tough.

“A lot of the meds for cats are for inappropriate urination, so they want to be protective or start marking their territory,” says local veterinarian, Maas. “We use Prozac for that, to help with taking away the psychological desire for them to obsessively mark their territory in their house. So a lot of times they’ll do it because of a new animal in their house or something happening in the neighborhood.”

For dogs, it’s a little different. “For dogs we use it for separation anxiety, so for a dog where when you leave during the day they just tear up the house and go completely nuts,” Maas says.

It occurred to us that people may actually try to take their pets’ meds— and it turns out, they do.

“It actually goes both ways,” says Maas. “It mostly goes for the controlled drugs. I had a situation where people were taking their animal’s pain meds, and so we definitely do have to worry about that but not so much with Prozac, but pain meds for sure.” To cut down on the possibility of a human abusing a pet’s meds, there’s a federal registry tracking system that allows vets to register their narcotic prescriptions under the human’s—and pet’s—name.

Intern Shilo Grayson contributed to this report.

Been to Summerfest or any other big outdoor event in Bend lately, and seen your dog doing what looks like a happy dance? Maybe it’s a happy dance—or maybe it’s the fact that your dog’s paws—in addition to its skin—are on fire.

“Just like with people, getting sunburned is something that’s uncomfortable and you want to avoid, but people mostly just don’t think about it with their dogs. It’s the same issue with hot paws,” says Tawna Storey, owner of Bendy Dog. If it’s hot outside and you wouldn’t walk around without shoes, your dog shouldn’t, either.

“The hot asphalt situation is a huge problem, so trying to stay on dirt or grass is much better,” says Maas. “You can condition their feet by building up tolerance to certain kinds of heat. So if you build it up little by little it can be pretty successful. The animals we worry about are the ones that are inside all the time and all of a sudden you take them out when it’s 100 degrees out and it’ll burn their feet. The other thing you can do is give them little athletic socks or something to cushion them from the hot asphalt, so booties are great too.

“The only issue is people who just put the booties on for long periods of time because the dogs have to be conditioned to those too, otherwise they can get pretty uncomfortable.”

Where to start?

“Ruffwear is my favorite product because they put so much research into it and know exactly what they’re doing,” says Storey.

Putting Sunscreen on your Pet

Next up in the moves to anthropomorphize your pet: Putting sunscreen on your dog! It sounds funny, but pet experts say it can spare some pets some serious discomfort.

“Animals that typically have long hair, people will give them a summer haircut or shave them down pretty short so they feel comfortable, and consequently those dogs are exposed to sun whereas they never would have been before,” says Maas. “There’s several different conditions that are made worse with exposure to sun. With that, they’ll have a rawness or pinkness on the nose. Another one is animals with really white fur have less melanin and less pigment that they’ll produce. White fur and a combination of blue eyes are dogs that have more sensitivity to sun, just like with humans.”

Storey carries a spray-type sunscreen geared toward animals.

“You can use it on all kind of animals, like horses, and it’s pretty simple to use,” Storey says. “Just spray liberally around the entire body and avoid eyes and be careful around the muzzle. Most of the places you’re going to apply it make it pretty hard to lick it off. The only reason that it would be able to come off is if you have another dog that licks it off. To get around it you just apply, apply, apply.”

Maas, meanwhile, recommends the cream-type sunscreen.

“Something that’s not oily,” he says. “Especially with cats, if they feel that it’s oily they’ll want to get it off. Most of the time you don’t have to worry about it getting near their nose or mouths, but always check the label. The other thing we see a lot is cataracts in the eyes from prolonged sun exposure. And there’s not much we can do about that, except tell people to be careful of how long they have their animals exposed to sun, and try to go out in the mornings or evenings when it’s not so bright.”

Another option: Those sweet “doggles” that you can find in pet stores.

Cool factor, on point.

Question: Are you a cat or dog person?

Why?

Susan Mays—La Pine I’m actually a cat and dog person. I was a cat person because they were easier to take care of, but then I became a dog person because they really are a man’s best friend.

AROMATHERAPY, ESSENTIAL OILS, MASSAGE

Kathryn Rocheleau—Bend I’m a dog person and that’s because I’m severely allergic to cats. I get hives and sneeze.

KATHERINE HALL, PHD 619-840-2720

Tess Wearda—San Luis Obispo, CA Dog because I feel like they like my lifestyle and I like their lifestyle. I like hiking and walking and playing outdoors and they’re very energetic, so they fit my personality more.

Tyler Mcnee—Eugene I’m kind of both. I have both and they each have their own good and bad qualities.

Don Chilton—Redding, CA Dog. I don’t like cats.

Amber Silva—La Pine I’m a dog person. Dogs are more family oriented for us. Dogs can be a friend for the whole family and a cat has their own personality and is all about themselves. The cat is the queen of the castle and the dog is the best friend.

Dr. Steve Blauvelt Call us to schedule your dog for an integrative medicine approach to balanced health.

(Mis-Adventure) Cats

We tried to turn our cat into an adventure cat. Turns out, it ain’t easy to conform a creature that doesn’t care about pleasing you.

By Magdalena Bokowa

Book Talk Adventure Cats Author: Laura Moss

Yes, Benditos, we know you love taking your dogs on all those adventures. A glance at the Deschutes River this time of year will likely include a view of some dog, balanced on the front of a paddle board. But what about those cats? They’re not up for adventure, you say? Well, the author of “Adventure Cats” is out to turn that notion on its head. We sat down with the author to talk about the notion of getting your cat out and about, just like the many adventurous dogs out there.

Me: “You think so? I think she just pooped on me. Does that quantify our chemistry?”

75-year-old-weaver: “She loves you! She has to come home with you!”

Me: “Yeah, she DOES appear to love me...but, wait, what?”

“She’ll be put back into the barn where she may be eaten by dogs!” exclaimed Carver. I made a phone call (from a landline, because Shaniko, Oregon, doesn’t have cell coverage).

Chadd, my husband, listened as I started with, “So, listen, there’s a tiny kitten here who…”

He promptly laughed and reasoned, “but we’re moving to Portland and we don’t even know if we’ll be in the U.S. in six months.” He was right. But the power of the COSWG was too strong.

I came home with Mala.

Why am I droning on about Mala’s earliest days? Isn’t this supposed to be about cat adventures? Why are you reminiscing about the moment Chadd came home and you plopped the thing down onto his chest and he stared at you in disbelief while you yelled, “Surprise! I got her anyway!” Or the insta-love you felt when feeding her milk from a eye-dropper? Or when you took

Source Weekly: Tell me about your experiences with your cats and how they became adventure cats.

Laura Moss: Well my cats are very much what I would call close to home adventure cats. I did not leash-train them until they were about three and four years old, so they didn’t grow up going out on a leash or anything, but one of my cats especially took a long time to train, he’s got a lot more attitude, but he has always wanted to run outside. So once they were both comfortable we took them out in our backyard, I live in Atlanta but we have a fairly wooded backyard with a little stream running through it, and they love to go out there and just walk around, put their paws in the stream, as well as lay around in the sun and chew on grass. That’s about the only adventures they will do, in the yard, up and down the street of our neighborhood.

It’s funny because with my cats we will have them on a leash, they will walk around a bit and then collapse in the grass. I’ve gotten to meet so many adventure cats, such as Floyd “The Lion” who is in the book, who will quiet literally drag you down the sidewalk he is just

her on walks at Sawyer Park —sans leash — and she followed you. Every.

Step. Of. The. Way? Because, dear reader, adventures with your cat — as I have come to find — can be as small as these kitten moments or as grand as you make them to be, regardless of if they tolerate a paddleboard or walk on a leash.

But alas, yes, the adventures. I’ve stalled for too long!

They didn’t happen.

She hates the harness.

Chadd, hearing her growls and my pleas of “C’mon Mala, just be a nice kitty….” escalate to “C’mon Mala, Don’t be so ridiculous!” to “C’mon Mala, don’t be such a B**CH!” found me, tyrannically cornering her, as a tri-colored harness hung from my bleeding and scratched hand. After the tufts of hair settled down and the harness was in place, (that’s what husbands are for, I guess) Mala, avoiding eye contact, raised hairs and tight lipped, slowly tried to saunter away.

But she couldn’t. Or wouldn’t, rather—adopting a “I don’t know what to do with this thing on my back” gait that made her look drunk, stoned and definitely pissed.

It was this moment that made me

like a dog, whereas my cats are like ‘we’re just gonna take a nap in the sun’. It just definitely depends on the cat and what they are comfortable doing.

SW: Did you find that the cats, who were all about it, were trained at a young age?

LM: Yeah a lot of them are because when cats are very young they are more open to new experiences kind of like how humans are too.

SW: Yeah so how do you know what your cat likes to do?

LM: You know, just giving your cat time, going slow and seeing how your cat responds. For cats, one of the best things to do is look at their body language. Cats are constantly communicating with us you just have to know what to look for. So, I mean, if you’ve seen a cat with their ears back and crouched real low then you know you probably shouldn’t approach that cat, whereas if you own a cat and you come home and your cat like walks up to you with its tail held high or the tail is even curled kind of like a question mark that is very much a cat that is happy and inviting you to pet him or even showing that the cat is enjoying themselves.

SW: What’s the trick to getting cats to wear a harness?

LM: Definitely start slow. One of the easiest ways is for them to have a really positive experience each time. So it could be a matter of placing the harness by his food dish or

pull the bulky contraption off, apologizing while she beelined for the door.

She didn’t return for two days.

As I sat on my porch that night, pondering why I had this blasé feeling that I had failed at my adventure cat story, I reasoned it was unnatural to expect an animal who survived drowning, who could wholly survive without me and who hunted birds, squirrels and the occasional small dog (albeit, unsuccessfully), to want anything to do with structure and conformity. After all, she doesn’t need me; she just humors us with her occasional presence.

I made amends that this wasn’t how our relationship was meant to be.

When I found her days later, we made a silent pact that we’ll adventure in other ways. Maybe I’ll take her on walks, without leashes, and trust her as I once did.

putting your cat treats on it because for cats when you want to make something positive you have to associate it with food.

SW: So with the people who are taking their cats around water, would you give the same kind of advice?

LM: Yeah I am still surprised by the cats who enjoy water—they are definitely rare, I mean there are some breeds that are more inclined to swim, like the Turkish Van is a cat that is kind of known for that. But for most cats, they have no interest, like my cats like to splash around in water whether it is in the stream in my yard or like if you were to take a bubble bath they want to put their paws in, but they don’t want to swim. I think it’s the same thing, if you allow your cat the opportunity to get in the water and they choose to get in I think that is great but most cats aren’t going to.

SW: Do you own a dog as well? Is your dog more adventurous than your cats?

LM: Yeah, I do, we own two cats and a dog. In some ways my dog…she comes hiking with us a lot which is something. Our cats don’t go out on the trails with us and so in that way she is more adventurous. But in general day-to-day bravery, my dog is a German Shepard mix that we rescued, she is scared of everything, like the wind. If you toss her a dog treat she runs in fear which is why we have to hand them to her. She is such a scaredy dog, whereas my cats definitely boss her around.

t the end of it all, there were tufts of fur everywhere.

And I mean. Every. Nook.

And Cranny. But, let me start at the very beginning.

Three years ago, a four-day-old kitten was found in a colossal, dusty barn, face-down in a quarter-inch of water. It was September. Imperial Stock Ranch co-owner Jeanne Carver scooped her out, placing the scrawny, half-dead being into a cardboard box.

The thing survived.

A few days later, Central Oregon Spinner and Weavers Guild members descended onto the wool farm. I tagged along as a guest of my husband’s grandmother, an esteemed weaver (whaddup, Mary!). As we lunched, I noticed the cardboard box move and walked over to find a tiny, blue-eyed tabby kitten staring back. She was Puss In Boots from “Shrek.”

I held tiny-cat in the crook of my neck and the Guild members surrounded me: 70-year-old knitter: “Aw, look how she clings to you!”

SOUND Musical Best Friends

Ian Cook and Andrew Carew continue their musical partnership in Larry and His Flask, Woebegon and now, Regal Manner.

17

By Anne Pick

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 30 / July 27, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Ian Cook and Andrew Carew are two busy dudes. In case you don’t recognize those names, they’re two-fifths of Bend favorites Larry and His Flask, half of Woebegone and the dynamic duo that makes up freshly formed Regal Manner. I recently sat down with the two in Cook’s home studio for a conversation about submitted

being in multiple bands and what’s next.

Ian Cook, pouring, and Andrew Carew, turning, make up two-fifths of Bend favorites Larry and His Flask, half of Woebegone and and all of Regal Manner. Got all that?

“W

e met at the Northside Pub when I was like 17, in 2006,” says Carew of how he and Cook first met. “I was in a band called Zombie Co-Pilot—we got on the same bill as Larry and His Flask back when they were rock and roll. We did a short tour with them and one of those nights in Santa Cruz, we sat around a fire and played guitar.”

Through this musical bond, Cook and Carew became fast friends. After that, the duo both got jobs at the same consignment furniture store. They would sit in a moving van, show each other music and go play after work. Carew joined the LAHF lineup in 2008, switching out the guitar for the banjo.

“Our creative collaborative forces jive really well together. We like the same types of music and want to make the same kinds of things happen, Carew says.”

After LAHF decided to take a break, Cook and Carew couldn’t sit still without creating music. The duo joined forces with Kirk Skatvold on bass, who often plays mandolin for LAHF, and Dayne Wood on drums to form Woebegone.

“I can constantly write songs all the time and I need an outlet for it,” Cook says. “Andrew, Kirk and I wanted a more rock-based sound and Woebegone was born from there, trying something a little heavier and more rock. I’ve been writing and writing, still am. I had an entire record and a half finished by the time the first album came come out. Seventeen more songs.”

Thankfully for fans of both Woebegone and LAHF, the Cook creative train keeps rolling full Woebegone

steam ahead. Not only does he have the next Woebegone album done, but also 10 more songs for a new LAHF album.

“Now, we can sit back and see what comes our way instead of constantly pushing to be out on the road,” Carew says of touring post-LAHF hiatus. “We get various offers, venues that really enjoyed having us, we can pick and choose instead of doing it all, all the time. This has been the right decision; it’s more comfortable.”

The decision to pause touring with LAHF couldn’t have come at a better time for Cook. In the time since the band’s hiatus started, he became a father to twin boys.

“It’s been one of the reasons we’re moving slower with both bands,” Cook says. “Kim [Cook’s partner] works full time, I watch the kids during the day and then work at night.”

“It couldn’t have come at a better time,” Carew says. “It still would have been chill, that was already in motion before the big news.”

“I want to be able to have a balance between the two that works for both bands and the family,” Cook says.

“It’s been done, you’re not the only father in rock and roll,” Carew responds.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, Cook and Carew recently added a third band to their resume. Regal Manner, which consists of the two friends, made its debut opening for Human Ottoman at The Capitol a couple weeks ago.

“Regal Manner is kind of the initial movement

into making music more of a career path than just a hobby,” Carew says. “It’s easier to book around two people’s schedules than four or six. We can pick up an easy show whenever someone wants us to, doing what we love to do.”

“We play some stripped-down versions of Woebegone songs and some Flask songs, too, and some fun covers,” Cook says. “We always wanted to have a band where we could do all the covers that we want, but we have so many covers we want to play because we just love so much music. This will be an outlet for that, too, and we’ll put fun twists on covers and do that as we keep going.

“It was a really fun, good first show for us. It’s a really relaxed vibe up there with just the two of us, we can bullshit and banter with the audience as much as we want,” Cook says. “There’s not the feeling of go, go, go. You can just take your time and have fun.”

For fans of the creative chemistry between Cook and Carew, there are plenty of opportunities to catch their musical collaboration live this summer and into the fall. Next up, Larry and His Flask start with a tour, beginning in Tennessee at the Muddy Roots Festival. They’ll also be playing some shows with Reverend Horton Heat, Fishbone and Strung Out. October and November will see Woebegone hitting the road locally and regionally. And with the abundance of songs Cook has in the hopper, new albums from both bands could surface sooner rather than later. SW

Vast Spirit

Indubious releases its 4th album, “From Zero,” focusing on gratitude, not expectation.

By Anne Pick

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 30 / July 27, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Usually for these interviews, I call a musician and we chat on the phone. I hear bits and pieces of where they are and what they’re doing, be it in a crowded van cruising down the highway or in the peaceful recluse of their own homes. But what I really love is talking to musicians in person—which I did recently with Evton Burton from the rock-reggae band Indubious. I got to see his extroverted personality and his hand gestures, before we got sidetracked talking about Bend neighborhoods and growth.

Evton Burton, left, and brother Skip, as Indubious, will celebrate their new release Saturday at the Domino Room.

he day after, he sent me an email with exciting news: Indubious’ new album, “From Zero,” had landed at number six on the Billboard reggae charts, ranking it among the likes of Ziggy Marley, The Expendables and Major Lazer. That’s big news.

“The whole philosophy around it is, it’s coming from this ‘from zero’ mentality,” Burton says of the album’s themes. “It’s that we all came from nothing, we were popped into this planet out of nothing and we’re entitled to nothing. When you’re entitled to nothing, essentially everything that you receive is a blessing. It’s centering in the heart of gratitude and not expectation.”

Burton, who calls Bend home, started Indubious with his brother, Skip Burton, who currently lives in Portland. In order to understand their "from zero" mentality, it may be helpful to note that both brothers were born with Cystic Fibrosis. The brothers came into this world with a grim life expectancy of 18 years. Now, in their early 30s, they persevere. Evton received a double lung transplant in 2011, making a full recovery.

“It’s really shaped who we are because it’s caused us to drop more into our purpose as opposed to living how most people live, which is caught in the drama of society of money and petty things,” Burton says. “It’s when you’re faced with your own mortality, you go, ok, what’s

19

real here? What are we doing? What are we here to do?

So from a very young age, we started on that mentality.”

For “From Zero,” the brothers blend rock, reggae and EDM to create what they call “Rootstronica.” But genre doesn’t mean much. The brothers try to transcend genre and create what feels good. With no pretense, the album dips into poppy realms and R&B, simply because that’s where they feel comfortable.

“I think genres are interesting, tricky things; they aren’t really my favorite thing,” Burton says. “I think music is a representation of our spirit and our spirit is vast.”

Indubious releases “From Zero” at the Domino Room Saturday. The brothers love performing live; Burton speaks of the energy exchange that happens between the band and the audience. Performing live allows the floodgates to open, so to speak, pouring everything out, conveying their message.

“There’s a certain magic that happens sometimes while performing, where you’re well practiced enough that you can put your intellect to the back of your mind and allow the feeling to come through,” Burton says.

“You can channel things. Things come through. It’s like this peak mystical experience where everyone is involved in this thing as it’s happening. The energy plays back and forth off everyone in the room — it’s a spiritual thing.” SW

Pilots & Balloons

Darren Kling Greg Miller Art Aloft & RE/MAX Balloon I’ll Fly Away 2 From a very young age I've always had a high interest in aviation. I took my first ride in a balloon in 1989 and was introduced to a form of flight far different from anything I had experienced before. In 1993 I received my commercial pilot's license and started Big Sky Balloon Co. providing balloon rides and corporate advertising in Northwest Montana. In 2000, I relocated my business to Portland and have been operating a corporate balloon contract in the Pacific Northwest region. For the past year I've been working on establishing a balloon ride business once again, and am very excited to now offer scenic balloon flights from Central Oregon in my hand painted Art Aloft balloon. Balloons have the unique ability to capture people's imagination and transport them into an environment they've never experienced before. Sharing that experience with people for the first time is what continues to make it a fresh and exciting job for me.

As a freelance Photographer, Greg was looking for opportunities to take stock photos, and was invited to a balloon event in Salem Oregon. Greg attended the event and started crewing in 1990. What started out as a photographic experience, turned into a lifetime passion, for Greg, and his family. Greg ended up buying the balloon he was crewing for, in 1995 receiving his private pilot license in 1996 and his commercial pilot license in 1997.

Greg and his wife Janet recently relocated their residence and home port for I’LL FLY AWAY BALLOON ADVENTURES to Prineville Oregon located in beautiful Central Oregon, where he offers Scenic Balloon Flights throughout Central Oregon, because the sun shines 300 plus days a year allowing for year round flying. When not flying in Central Oregon, he travels throughout the Pacific Northwest to different Ballooning Events.

Greg and his balloon I’LL FLY AWAY 2, a beautiful balloon with the bottom half all the colors of the Peacock, and the top half is all Black, have made the trip to Balloons over Bend several times and look forward to this years event. Come out to the field and say hello to Greg, and be part of the experience. Having relocated to Central Oregon Greg is building an active crew list. If you are interested in becoming balloon crew you can get more information from our website www.illflyaway.net or call Greg at 503 510-7835.

Pilots & Balloons Brann Smith Sundancer

Koh Murai Firenze

My first experience with hot air ballooning was 15 years ago. It then became my passion as I soon realized that it is such an amazing and unique sport. In 1999, I completed my commercial pilot training and began flying in Oregon with my own company. I believe hot air ballooning is not just about flying but the people you encounter and the wonderful experience and memories we create together. During my career as a pilot, I have flown in six states: Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and now California. Currently in Chico, California, I plan to again fly as a business and give back to the community where I grew up. I hope to share the joy and serenity of floating through the air with as many people as I can, hoping to inspire the feeling of freedom and adventure to the hearts of others that it brings to me.

Robert Raper Redemption

I received my commercial certificate in 1996. I bought my first balloon in 1995 while learning to fly. Currently have four balloons and manage my business – High Plains Drifter Hot Air Balloons, LLC. Currently, I am moving from Miles City, Montana, and returning to North Bend, Oregon.

I usually attend 7-10 events annually, including Reno, Nevada and Albuquerque, N.M. I fly throughout the western 11 states.

Laura Hancock Morning Glory

I live in Carlton, Oregon. I’ve been flying for about 20 years. Morning Glory is co-owned with my crew chief and ballooning partner, Bales. I am a commercially rated contract balloon pilot.

When I’m not flying I’m either in a sea kayak or on a mountain bike. I organize the Loose Goose Balloon Rally at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in August and Bend’s High and Dry Bluegrass Festival is at my brother Jack’s each August.

Bill Woodhead His Sky

Bill Woodhead has been an airplane pilot for the past 45 years and a balloon pilot for over 37 years. He has flown balloons in balloon events in a majority of the states in the USA as well as in Canada, Kenya, East Africa, Israel and New Zealand. He currently lives near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

I am predominantly a sport flyer but also provide some instruction. I also enjoy aerostat construction with my first effort an AX-5. One of my other joys in LTA aviation is working on, executing, and helping others with long distance, long duration, and high altitude flights.

It has been my pleasure to be the launch master for five world record flights. Yet time spent aloft is still the biggest thrill after all these years. The people you meet and become involved with are also a great reward and asset for participating in this sport.

From 1991-1998, I was involved as launch crew, launch master, and consultant for several trans-global balloon attempts. These included Earthwinds Hilton, Virgin Global Challenge, ICO Global Challenge, and Global Hilton. From 2000 – 2005, I was involved with scientific balloon and systems design and flight operations for a small private firm supporting various government and university agencies. This work included designs and flights in earth atmosphere, near space, and planetary exploration. Since mid-2007 to present, I have also been the engineering consultant and engineer of record for Firefly Balloons.

Doug Adamczyk GEM

My interest in ballooning and aviation started at the age of 5 when I lived in Albuquerque, NM. But it was not until I was in high school in Ohio before I had the opportunity to crew for a balloon pilot. That hooked me and I have now been crewing for 30 years.

Ten years ago I received my pilots license for single engine airplanes. Then, in 2013, I jumped at the opportunity to buy a balloon and received my Lighter Than Air rating one year later. I am currently a member of Northeast Ohio Balloon Pilots Association, the Balloon Federation of America, and also the Pacific Coast Aeronauts. I have flown balloons in five states and participated in multiple balloon festivals in CA, OR, NY, OH, and MI. I look forward to returning to Bend for my second year!

Mike Bauwens Squeeze Easy

Megan Gram

Executive Director of Bend Spay+Neuter Project

W

hat would Bend look like without the work of Megan Gram and her team?

There would be a lot more strays on the street, for one.

After returning to Bend from Austin, Texas, Gram took the position of executive director at Bend Spay+Neuter Project, bringing a model focused on non-judgmental culture and care.

That’s the model Bend Spay+Neuter Project follows today, leading to nearly 50,000 surgeries and a community of care for both animals and their people.

Gram moved to Bend after completing her degree in recreation from Indiana University. She started working at Mt. Bachelor, but after a few years, she found herself wanting something more. She began volunteering with Bend Spay+Neuter Project because she’s always loved animals. When a position opened up as the receptionist, she jumped at the chance, even despite the pay cut. Next, she became a manager, then joined the board.

Gram and her husband moved to Austin for a period of time after that, but she remained on the board. In Austin, Gram worked for an organization called EmanciPet, an organization with a non-judgmental culture, treating everyone the same and making no assumptions about pet owners—a culture she brought into her new role back in Bend.

“We’re physically helping the animals, but we’re also helping people be able to keep their animals,” Gram

ARTWATCH

says, “The organization I worked with in Austin really helped open my eyes to trying to help everyone and not be judgmental. Now, we do about 30 surgeries a day. And in some cases we do save lives which is really awesome. We saved a pitbull with a uterus infection the other day when no one else would do it because she was so sick.”

Not only did Gram bring that culture back from Austin, she also learned the power of partnerships between animal organizations. As the first “no-kill community,” Austin has a 94 percent live release rate, which they did through partnerships with various agencies. This inspired Gram to create the Central Oregon Cat Alliance and the Central Oregon Animal Welfare Alliance.

“That’s what we’re doing now with the Humane Society,” Gram says of the partnership, which today includes seven local groups. “We measure our success by their success. The lower their euthanasia rate, the more successful we feel. I started by asking the two shelters about what we have in common, and it was cats. So when we get kittens we spay and neuter them and send them to the shelter, with adults we spay and neuter them, vaccinate them and send them back out.

This year, we’ve sent 100 kittens to the Humane Society.”

For the past two years, members of

"We have to make sure we keep the population low enough that there’s home for every animals and that the Humane Society doesn’t have to kill any animals for space— and they don’t, which is huge for us. That partnership we have with them is so important for our community."

—MEGAN GRAM

the animal welfare alliance have been sitting down once a quarter to check in with each other. They’re getting to the point of transferring animals from location to location, depending on need at any given shelter, Gram says.

In her position as executive director, Gram does more or less everything except actual surgeries. That includes marketing, networking, social media, press releases, events and fundraising.

“We have a really small staff so I wear a lot of hats. We have an office manager, a receptionist... I just got an assistant about six months ago, but I still do quite a bit of things at the clinic,” Gram says. “Mostly anything you hear on our website or our Facebook page.”

Gram’s love of animals and their owners keeps her going.

“It’s great to see how much people’s animals mean to them,” Gram says. “I do this because of the homeless person who met one of our doctors on the street by chance, and got her card and she told him that we’d spay or neuter his dog for free and he said, ‘Really?

I’ve been wanting to do it forever, but I didn’t think I ever could.’”

Gram believes in the importance

of spaying and neutering animals throughout our community, for good reason.

“What I ask people to do is think about what Bend would look like if we hadn’t done those 50,000 surgeries,” Gram says. “We would see strays on the street all the time, and we’re really lucky because for the most part we don’t. And that’s due in part to our work. We have to make sure we keep the population low enough that there’s home for every animals and that the Humane Society doesn’t have to kill any animals for space—and they don’t, which is huge for us. That partnership we have with them is so important for our community.”

Picturesque Pups

Alex Hopes

Dog photography tour coming to Bend

Put your pooch in pictures this Saturday at Worthy Brewing.

Not so long ago, Alex Hopes (this week’s cover artist) went to college to study teaching. Today he’s on his way to becoming one of the country’s most prolific dog photographers.

You can thank his dog, Sid, who he adopted as a six-week-old puppy just before graduating. Plus, the jump from teaching to dog photos makes more sense than you might think. “I went to college for elementary education and I think that I enjoyed the reward of connecting with my pupils,” says Hopes.

“There’s a lot of correlation between young people and dogs—and getting a reaction out of them.

“The reward I get is to crack the code of what’s going to get the dog to behave like I want it to behave.”

That’s all good news for Bend dog owners who can bring their cherished pet to meet Hopes this weekend. The 29-year-old Austin, Texas, resident has embarked on a lengthy summer tour where, in exchange for a donation, he’ll turn his lens on your very own best friend. Austin’s where Hopes began his photography career. “I went to Zilker Park in Austin a lot and I thought why not make an Instagram account where I could feature people’s dogs—and that’s kind of just how it started.”

That passion project turned into a business: Zilker Bark— where Hopes raises money for

pet-related organizations. Events like this have already brought in over $55,000. Saturday’s session will benefit the Bend Spay + Neuter Project.

“I love Bend,” Hopes says. “The only reason I’m doing an event in Bend is because I want to move there. It’s one of the friendliest cities I’ve ever been to.

I did a big road trip about three years ago. There were so many dogs and it just seemed like a happy city. That—paired with the proximity to so many awesome adventure spots. It blew my mind.” SW Zilker Bark Dog Photo Benefit Sat., July 29, 12:30-2:30pm Worthy Brewing 495 NE Bellevue Dr., Bend $35 donation ($30 in advance) zilkerbark.com

Dogs Dish About Their Favorite Restaurants

Best places to eat with your dog in Bend

37

In Dog Town, USA, summer is an ideal time to dine out with your best furry friend. To find out where the best dog-friendly dining happens in Bend, we asked a few local pooches—and one visiting pup.

The Best Doggie Bakery Hotwire

Booker

Jackson

Retired Greyhound, Age 7 Favorite Snack: Organic carrots

English Bulldog, Age 3 Favorite Snack: Watermelon or anything edible Booker works downtown at the Wren & Wild yoga studio as a customer relationship specialist. He digs 900 Wall because it’s a short walk from his work, but also because he gets lots of passerby-love at the great sidewalk tables. When he’s feeling the vegan vibe he likes Pure Joy Kitchen’s patio and Broken Angel food truck, where they give him peanut butter on biscuits. Booker is a pretty social guy because of his work, so his favorite place for lunch or dinner is 10 Barrel because a lot of dogs hang out there.

When he’s in the mood for romance he heads to Crux for the sunset. The other dogs look so good in the sunset light, so lots of humping usually ensues. Oh, Booker, we’re blushing!

Rescued Bichon Poodle Mix, age 6.5 Favorite Snack: Anything grain free and chicken free—he’s a picky eater Jackson has been to quite a few places, but his top picks are La Rosa (both locations), Spork, Kanpai Sushi, Kebaba and the restaurants in the Old Mill because they have awesome river views. He recently visited Bend Pizza Kitchen for lunch and there were a few other dogs there and he totally liked the shade. Atlas Cider is another exciting spot because he gets to go inside (since they don’t serve food).

Hotwire is retired from racing, but still works a few days a week as a shop dog at Willow Lane Artist’s Creative Space. When Hotwire is not at work she enjoys morning walks with her mom and dad for breakfast at Village Bakery. In the evenings she loves the outdoor spaces at Jackson’s Corner, Cascade Lakes Brewing, Longboard Louie’s and Kebaba. She also likes Croutons, but if it’s really sunny it’s a little intense for her delicate skin.

Hotwire’s insider tip: Dutch Bros. has complimentary treats for dogs.

thebestdoggiebakery.com

Tigua Husky Mix, Age 10 Instagram: @mynameistigua

Stue Rescued Sharpei, Age 7 Favorite Snack: Himalayan Yak Chews Stue lives in Portland but visits Bend frequently because his human aunt, uncle and grandparents live here. He got a little personal with us and said he suffers from anxiety, so he doesn’t like to be left at home. When he visits Bend he always asks his human pack members to go to El Sancho. He says the people there are super nice and lots of them stop to say “hi.” Stue says his people always order the chips and guacamole.

Lily English Springer Spaniel, Age 10 Favorite Snack: Carrots Lily loves the outdoors but lets us know she’s not big into dining out. She likes to gobble her food at home so she can nap afterward. Her human parents tease her that she gets a food coma.

She did let us know her canine buddies like to hang out at Crux, Spork and The Lot.

Locally made baked goods aren’t just for humans. The Best Doggie Bakery in Redmond bakes delicious, preservative-free, wholesome treats for your furry friend(s). They make cookies in flavors including apple coconut honey oat, bacon cheddar and pineapple coconut with goat milk yogurt.

If those sound yummy enough for humans, you’re right—they’re human-tested but made with pride for your pet. At a local farmers market, I ran into Lisa Jakub, a doggie bakery fan who was shopping for treats to celebrate her dog Daisy’s 11th birthday.

Lisa has three dogs and said they go crazy for the peanut butter and fruit and vegetable cookies. You can find The Best Doggie Bakery’s cookies and jerky at the NWX Farmers Market, Central Oregon Farmers Market and at Bendy Dog downtown.

Tigua is the muse to local photographer Carol Sternkopf. When Tigua isn’t in front of the camera his favorite place to eat is Dandy’s Drive-In. For him, the best part about Dandy’s is that everyone gets to stay in the car, even when ordering. He emphasized that a few times: he likes it when everyone stays together to eat. Tigua gets particularly excited when the servers at Dandy’s roll up on their skates. They smell good, like food.

He always gets excited and his mom has to tell him he has to settle down if he wants “his usual.” Tigua’s usual is a delicious hamburger, and he’s all about the beef because he likes them to hold the bun. SW

Help Needed As Community Tries to Save Central Oregon Locavore Locavore is having a tough year. After some unexpected costs from its move and a rough winter, the nonprofit is hanging by a thread. If it can’t raise $25,000 this summer it will have to close its doors and Central Oregonians will lose year-round access to locally and sustainably grown products from over 200 ranchers, producers and artisans.

Locavore also organizes programs promoting farm-related education and experiences and connects volunteers to farmers and ranchers. The community is already showering Locavore with support; it's at 70 percent of its funding goal. You can help Locavore reach the finish line by making a tax-deductible donation to its GoFundMe campaign. gofundme.com/locavore

Looking Over Ancestry

By Kevin Gifford

Ancestry’s whole bottle lineup is available locally now.

W

hen the Blackberry Wheat from Ancestry Brewing is first poured out, the unwitting drinker might wonder if something is wrong with the keg. The beer is a distinct shade of dark purple, looking a bit like something that might be enjoyed after hours aboard the USS Enterprise. Dare a taste, however, and it’s remarkable how well the whole thing works— refreshing, German-style wheat flavor, mixed with just the right amount of berry, not nearly as overwhelming as one would expect from the color.

It’s a fine beer, and it’s one of several from this suburban Portland outfit that are starting to hit Bend in kegs and bottles.

The last that locals heard of Ancestry Brewing, it was a year and a half ago and the founders were holding an introductory event at the Platypus Pub. The brewery then proceeded to not show up at all around Central Oregon for quite a while—like all Oregon breweries with at least a smidgen of talent, they were too busy keeping up with local demand to venture too far beyond metro Portland at first.

Now, fortunately, things are different, and five or six of their offerings are available in unique rounded bottles (the same kind Bend Brewing uses) at the usual bottle shops around town, including Newport Avenue Market and Market of Choice.

This is all thanks to Ancestry’s 10-barrel brewing system going online and chugging out beer like the world was going to end tomorrow. It’s more than enough to serve both the brewery/tasting room in Tualatin, southwest of Portland a little ways, and the “neighborhood

spot” they run in the Sellwood section of southeast Portland. Visit either of those locations, and it’s clear that they’ve got a good thing going—despite not having that many bar taps in Portland proper, the locations are frequently mobbed, and it’s not unusual to see a dozen and a half beers of their own on tap, putting them up there with Deschutes’ usual selection.

The flagship of their lineup is arguably the Cream Ale, a genre not seen all that often around this state (though Pelican makes a fine one). A lighter ale variety that gained popularity in Canada during Prohibition in the U.S., cream ale usually features bitter gold hops and some corn mixed in with the malt, giving it lager-like properties. It’s a great thing to have in the dog days of summer, and it’s available now on tap at places including the Summit Saloon downtown.

Ancestry’s lineup definitely has a European bent to it—the taproom also features a German-style schwarzbier and an English pale ale that clocks in at just 3.8 percent alcohol. But this is Oregon, of course, and there’s room in their selection for some pretty avant-garde stuff as well. For their oneyear anniversary, the brewers released an imperial IPA that leans heavily on the citrus side and provides a pretty intense alcohol experience—definitely one to try eight ounces of at a time.

On the darker side, the taproom also features an imperial stout that’s aged in new Cabernet barrels and, at 9 percent, tastes every bit like chewing on some wood, in a nice way. All in all, totally worth delving into Portland’s suburbs to check out. SW

BABY DRIVER: Edgar Wright is the visionary

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

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. 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. Redmond Cinema.

DUNKIRK: Christopher Nolan sets his sights

on making one of the most fiercely original war movies of all time. Told in a jumbled chronology and filled with some of the most powerful imagery of the year, “Dunkirk” is an unforgettable evening at the movies. Those with sensitive hearing may want to avoid seeing it in IMAX because it's so loud that it's like being in an actual war. See full review on p 43. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

GIRLS TRIP: With a great cast including Queen

Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Regina Hall, “Girls Trip” tells the story of four lifelong friends on a road trip to New Orleans. Advanced word says this is not only a hilarious comedy, but also focuses on important themes of sisterhood and feminism. A fun night at the movies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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 MAUDIE: This is a biopic about the folk artist Maud Lewis that focuses on her falling in love with a fishmonger while she worked as his housekeeper. Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke star in this quirky and delightful little movie. Tin Pan Theater.

ROUGH NIGHT: In the spirit of “Bridesmaids”

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

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

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

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS: Critics can't seem to agree

on this one, with some calling it a visionary work by one of our most brilliant directors and others saying it's sexist garbage. Coming from Luc Besson, the director of “The Fifth Element” and “The Professional,” can't we agree that it's probably a little bit of both? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

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. 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

Seriously, Gangster Kitten is killing me right now with cuteness. Inset, things only get worse from here for that poor doggie.

I can watch people get shot, blown up and serial killed all day long, but as soon as something bad happens to an animal...I'm out. I've still never seen “Marley & Me” because I know how it ends and I'm not a masochist.

For the Pet Issue my normally snarky self was thinking about writing a few words about movies like “Cujo” and “Pet Semetary,” but instead join me for something completely different. This week we're looking at movies where NO PETS DIE and no children are scarred for life.

Gremlins: Billy Peltzer's dog Barney is in jeopardy the moment he breaks mean Mrs. Deagle's ceramic snowman, not to mention from all the dang Gremlins. He gets tied up in some Christmas lights and the Gremlins definitely screw with the poor little pooch quite a bit, but he survives the movie happy and healthy. The same can't be said of several humans.

Babe: Fun fact: The director of “Babe” is also the director of all the “Mad Max” movies. George Miller doesn't play. Everyone has seen this, but in case it's been a while, you should definitely watch it again. The story of a pig that wants to be a sheepdog is still one of the greatest family films of all time, and if you show it to the kids at the perfect age, you'll save a lot of money on bacon. This film is timeless and an all-time classic. “Babe: A Pig in the City” is also pretty wonderful, in case you were wondering.

Alien: Jones is the “ship's cat” aboard the Nostromo. This cat not only lives in space, but survives a kill-crazy alien with a really pokey tongue and acid blood. Jones is even responsible for one of the best jump scares in the classic film when he jumps out at Ripley while she's trying to avoid a face hugger.

After Jones and Ripley kill the Alien (well, Ripley does most of the work), they climb into their cryosleep chamber and sleep for 57 years until they're woken up just in time for “Aliens.” That makes Jones the oldest cat in history. The more you know.

Keanu: Key and Peele's ridiculous comedy gets funnier every single time I watch it.

They play two nerdy best friends who find an adorable kitten that used to belong to a drug lord. When the kitten is kidnapped by some gangsters, Key and Peele pretend they're a pair of tough guys and go through hell to rescue their kitten. Seriously, this kitten is so cute (especially when he gets dressed up like a gangster) that your heart will melt all over the place.

Best in Show: The wonderful thing about “Best in Show” is how much the film cares about how we connect with our pets and the lengths we'll go to in order for them to be happy. The film is at times hilarious and heartwarming while also showing the behind the scenes of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. From the filmmakers behind “This is Spinal Tap” and “Waiting for Guffman,” this wonderful comedy deserves a place in your constant rotation. SW

GO HERE 20/40/60: Oh! The Humanity!

When humans make dogs do human things

By Shilo Grayson

by Source Staff

A

s the dogs of the Source, suffice it to say that life is not exactly “ruff.”

They may work long hours, but our humans get hit up with so many requests to ‘"try out this new patio," or "check out this new product," that as their dogs, we also get to benefit.

(By the way, if you have any new dog treats our humans don’t know about, the address here is 704 NW Georgia, Bend.)

Still, there are times when their love for us—and for checking out all the good stuff Central Oregon has to offer—gets in the way of us being the wild and free beasts our ancestors meant us to be. In honor of the Dog Days of Summer issue, and in the spirit of our humans’ 20/40/60 monthly feature, we submit these accounts of what it’s like to be dogs whose humans make us do human things, a LOT.

Sanka, almost 20-something (in dog years) Paddleboarding I have a flowing, glowing mane that handles -30 F temps, beefy muscles to pull sleds and can handle virtually anything thrown my way — even a Satanic cat that these hoomans make me live with. I mean, I’m named after “Cool Runnings,” star, Sanka, who apparently was a badass Olympic Jamaican bobsledder... though I didn't quite understand the film.

But I’m just barely a teenager. I recently just learned that pooping on carpet is not the same thing as pooping on grass. Or that eating chocolate from the counter or these tiny snack things called “Advil” from the floor isn’t allowed (I tried, anyway).

And c’mon, I’ve been bred historically by Siberians, aka, Russians, so I can handle some strenuous, kooky, offthe-wall stuff. Except vodka. I accidently just tasted it when the girl with the round face who sometimes I call “Mom” left out her “seltzer” water. It was NOT just seltzer. Trust.

Yoda, 40-something (in dog years) Riding bikes/attending concerts/ getting mohawked As an 11-pound mini poodle/Jack Russell rescue who could only be described as a “grumpy old man in training,” I admit: riding in a basket on the back of my human’s bike is not exactly my ideal way to spend an evening—but with places like Crux practically inviting my kind to post up and sniff butts every evening, it happens a lot. The wind in my ample head hair is nice, and since riding in that basket, with a bungee cord holding me in, means I get to stay with my human, I can live with it. Sure, we may roll up to an outdoor concert where loud noises force me to hide my nose in my human’s armpit, but it’s better than being left alone at home.

What really chaps my dog behind, however, is being anthropomorphized into a human skater dude. I am a grumpy old man-dog in training, not a young punk who wants to sport a rainbow mohawk around town, practically inviting every dog lover around to pet me. Did you see me at Pride? Jeesh, people. Paws off! And get off my lawn!

45

Since this is my soapbox, I conclude with this: If you’re going to fawn over my mohawk at the next outdoor event, at least have the decency to bring me a treat.

Central Oregon’s only trail marathon Maisy Rae Archer, 60-something (in dog years) Wearing human clothes I don’t know why these crazy ladies keep shoving me into t-shirts. I’m an old lady PomChi and I just want to be free to lounge around in front of the heater/air conditioner. The first time the black-haired one shoved my little sausage body into a shirt it was because I had a hot spot from scratching. Sometimes you just have an itch to scratch and she wouldn’t let me! Back then it was winter time and I didn’t mind quite so much, though going to the loo was a bit inconvenient.

Again, this week the black-haired one outfitted me with a t-shirt that belongs to the tiniest human. It says “Sleep Under the Stars.” Why would I want to do that!? I prefer sleeping under the covers, as close to my mom’s face as caninely possible. Sure, the black-haired one feeds me and scratches me behind the ears endlessly (just the way I prefer, I often force my little face into her hand while she’s watching the big thing on the wall with moving pictures). But that doesn’t mean I want to wear a toddler t-shirt.

I’m not going to say I don’t love partaking in human activities. I love riding in the car in what mom and the black-haired one call my “fortress of solitude” (the space between the backseat and the window). I love eating anything the tiny one drops on the floor. But when the black-haired one busts out a t-shirt for me to sport, preventing me from living my gosh darn life the way I want to, I’m not into it.

Sheesh, I wish my mom’s roommate would dress up the cat. That young fella deserves some of the torture, too. SW Look for the human version of the 20/40/60 feature, featuring three generations of Source staffers trying out a new activity, the third week of

Haulin’ Aspen, an annual scenic trail running race well known for its beautiful views and diverse distances, takes place Aug. 12 at Wanoga Snow Play Area Sno-Park. The race offers a 6.5 mile track, dubbed the “half as,” as well as a half marathon and a full marathon track. The event claims the title of being the only running race in Central Oregon to take place completely on trails, and also serves as a points qualifier in the Trail Runner Magazine Trophy Series. All of the races start and finish at Wanoga Sno-Park, with the courses making their way through forest trails and buttes toward Kiwa Springs and Wangoa Butte. Aid stations are placed about 2 to 5 miles apart and will be stocked with water, GU brew and GU gels.

The race trails are nationally renowned, Bend having been voted as the #1 Top Trail Town in the September 2013 issue of Trail Runner Magazine. The diverse distances and beautiful trails make Haulin’ Aspen an easily accessible event for all levels of runners.

Racers and spectators alike are invited to join in on post-race celebrations, including craft beers and a wide selection of food.

The event also serves as a benefit for Bend Endurance Academy, a local organization that offers programs in Nordic skiing, rock climbing and cycling for kids and adults. Registration is now open for runners as well as for volunteers. SW

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 30 / July 27, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

In honor of the Dog Days issue, the dogs of the Source weigh in on keeping up with their humans at the park, on the bike path and at the concert grounds.

But “Ya ne mogu poverit’, chto eti lyudi nastol’ko glupy!” Oh, sorry, the Russian came out. It happens when I’m baffled.

Why am I so perplexed? These humans put my still-growing self onto a paddleboard at Elk Lake the other week, because they said it would be “fun.” Do they KNOW how heavy this thick and luxurious fur is when wet?

I could drown! Plus, my skin is PINK and susceptible to burning at these high altitudes. I shouldn’t even be up there (OK, the brief stop at Devil’s Lake to play in that white snuff….err, stuff, was pretty cool).

So I pulled a sly Soviet move.

I jumped ship and nearly toppled “Mom” over as I swam over to “Uncle Chadd.” I’m pretty sure I won’t be stepping foot on those oversized surfboards again. I mean, I thought dealing with Russians was cray-cray but... try a Polish-Canadian. She tops the cake.

his summer may go down in Central Oregon history as the “Year of the Moth.” First it was the thousands of tiny, nocturnal moths of spring bouncing off our front porch lights, vehicle headlights and light poles—moths that bats love to eat. Then came a few BIG ceanothus silkworm moths, followed by the small outbreak of Pandoras that’s about done.

In between were the pinkish to brown sheep moths, aka the elegant day moth, and the smaller black and white day-flying Riding’s Forester moths that we often see when my wife, Sue, is conducting her annual butterfly counts. At the same time the pestiferous tent caterpillars started hatching, and now their silken tents are all over the bitterbrush, and the parasitic wasps have found the caterpillars.

What started this discussion on moths were the current, jaw-dropping, White-lined sphinx, aka hawk and hummingbird moths (and their kin) just about everywhere there are flowering plants. Yes, they look and behave like hummingbirds, but they’re not.

Deciding If Tiny Home Living Is For You

T

HOME PRICE ROUND-UP

or solar panels can be more costly upfront, but the lower total cost still greatly outweighs a traditional home.

According to The Tiny Life, the average cost to build your own tiny home is $23,000, but this does not include land. People have also built some for as little as $8,000, and the typical cost of buying a move-in ready tiny home is $60,000. According to the article, 68 percent of tiny home dwellers do not have a mortgage as compared to 29.3 percent of traditional homeowners.

The main challenge is still the classification of tiny homes when it comes to zoning laws and where they can be placed. They’re definitely an attractive alternative to our current high cost rentals and rising home prices.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 30 / July 27, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

he tiny home movement does not seem to be losing any steam, despite the many obstacles including city zoning, health regulations and so on. It’s been a while since I’ve addressed this issue and a recent article that came to my attention had some interesting information to share for those interested in tiny homes.

The primary advantages of tiny homes are financial and environmental. Most tiny homeowners have little or no mortgage and lower utility costs.

Additionally, because of the smaller square footage, tiny homeowners can often splurge on higher-end finishes and features whose cost would be prohibitive in a traditional home. Some of the smaller home features such as specialized appliances, composting toilets

You’ve answered some questions about online dating recently, but I haven’t seen you mention dating sites that do criminal background checks. Do you think it’s a smart idea to sign up for one of these, or is it just more marketing hogwash?

—Wondering There’s that very attractive man you see on a dating site who spends “a lot of time abroad” — as one must, when primarily employed as a drug mule.

These dating sites that do criminal background checks probably seem like a wise choice. And they do offer their members something extra: a false sense of security.

First, as one of the sites with “extensive background checks” admits: “Some people do manage to slip through the cracks. When in doubt, report it!” Charming. Kind of like telling bank customers, “If you notice armed robbers in the bank, feel free to tackle them while yelling, ‘citizen’s arrest!’”

Of course safety is a primary concern, but ponder this: Your friends don’t background-check their party guests. Nor does the supermarket: “Hey, handsome, can’t let ya into the trendy baby veggies section till we check for outstanding warrants.” Also, not every person with a criminal record is someone to avoid. There’s being arrested because your little brother left a pillowcase of weed in your trunk versus being nabbed for your armed carjacking hobby: “No, officer, I swear…nothing of interest in the trunk…um, that is, if we don’t count the bound-and-gagged widow who owns the car.”

There are countless articles listing some pretty obvious ways to protect yourself: Drive your own car to the date; meet in a public place; don’t leave your drink unattended; and don’t front anyone money.

Another common piece of advice is to tell someone where you’re going and whom you’re meeting. Right. Surefire psychopath-stopper: “I told my roommate all about you, so you’d better put away that huge knife, buster!”

One thing you can do to protect yourself — in online dating or any dating scenario — is gag the voice that’s shouting, “Happily ever after, here we come!” so you can pay attention to feelings that something just doesn’t add up. These feelings often don’t come out of nowhere. Research by neuroscientist Yue-jia Luo, among others, finds that our brain reacts to subtle signs we’re in danger — including ones we aren’t consciously aware of. The brain messages the body to get ready for “fight or flight,”

adrenaline courses, blood gets pumped to our extremities, and goosebumps form on our arms (part of the physical basis of feeling creeped out).

Online dating, like all dating, involves risk. Assess your level of risk and whether it’s worth the benefit — immediate access to numerous potential partners. There are some crafty criminals out there, but odds are, the problems you’ll experience will be the ordinary kind — finding out that a guy has a few girlfriends and not a few girlfriends out back under the tomatoes.

Pippi Bongstocking

I’m in recovery, and my best friend and I have sleepovers every few months. She’s come over drunk and/or high on pot the past few times. It’s not that it’s triggering for me; she’s just annoying and not herself when she’s loaded. How do I ask her to not come over trashed?

—Sober What does she do when she isn’t visiting you — attend Mass in a “Lucifer Rules!”

T-shirt, pop by the animal rights march in a mink vest, and then park her ice cream truck outside the Jenny Craig meeting?

Though you know what you need to tell her — don’t come over trashed — you’re probably being tripped up by something I wrote about recently: how women evolved to be the confrontation-avoiders of our species, probably to protect their ability to Amy Alkon have and care for children. In 1990, developmental psychologist Eleanor Maccoby reviewed the research on sex differences in communication and found what researchers continue to see today: A major goal of girls’ (and women’s) speech is “to be ‘nice’ and sustain social relationships,” while for males, “the agenda is more often the single one of self-assertion.”

Though being direct may not be natural for you, there are many things in our lives that aren’t “natural”: deodorant, motor vehicles, buying dinner at the supermarket instead of waiting behind a tree to club it with a rock. You’re simply asking your friend to be appropriate to the situation.

You could open with an air bag of sorts — “I love you and love having you over” — and then say, “But, from now on, please don’t show up drunk or high for our sleepovers.”

Enduring a little discomfort in the moment should keep you from being commandeered into future “fun” drinking games like “Let’s flip your cat over and do shots off her belly.

I’ll do vodka; you do water. Last one to lose an eye wins!”

ASTROLOGY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you really have to be the flashy king or charismatic queen of all you survey? Must all your subjects put on kneepads and prostrate themselves as they bask in your glory? Isn’t it enough for you to simply be the master of your own emotions, and the boss of your own time, and the lord of your own destiny? I’m not trying to stifle your ambition or cramp your enthusiasm; I just want to make sure you don’t dilute your willpower by trying to wield command over too wide a swath. The most important task, after all, is to manage your own life with panache and ingenuity. But I will concede this: The coming weeks will be a time when you can also probably get away with being extra worshiped and adored.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If extraterrestrial beings land their spaceship on my street and say they want to meet the creatures who best represent our planet, I will volunteer you Libras. Right now, at least, you’re nobler than the rest of us, and more sparkly, too. You’re dealing smartly with your personal share of the world’s suffering, and your day-to-day decisions are based more on love than fear. You’re not taking things too personally or too seriously, and you seem better equipped than everyone else to laugh at the craziness that surrounds us. And even if aliens don’t appear, I bet you will serve as an inspiring influence for more human beings than you realize. Does being a role model sound boring? I hope not. if you regard it as an interesting gift, it will empower you to wield more clout than you’re used to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the four years he worked on painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo never took a bath. Was he too preoccupied with his masterpiece? Modern artist Pae White has a different relationship with obsession. To create her fabric art pieces, she has spent years collecting more than 3,500 scarves designed by her favorite scarf-maker. Then there’s filmmaker James Cameron, who hired an expert in linguistics to create an entire new language from scratch for the aliens in his movie “Avatar.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I approve of you summoning this level of devotion — as long as it’s not in service to a transitory desire, but rather to a labor of love that has the potential to change your life for the better for a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers,” wrote author James Baldwin. Even if you’re not an artist, I encourage you to make that your purpose in the coming weeks. Definitive answers will at best be irrelevant and at worst useless. Vigorous doubt and inquiry, on the other hand, will be exciting and invigorating. They will mobilize you to rebel against any status quos that have been tempting you to settle for mediocrity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase of your cycle when the most useful prophecies are more lyrical than logical. So here you go: three enigmatic predictions to help stir up the creative ingenuity you’ll need to excel on your upcoming tests. 1. A darling but stale old hope must shrivel and wane so that a spiky, electric new hope can be born. 2. An openness to the potential value of a metaphorical death will be one of your sweetest assets. 3. The best way to cross a border is not to sneak across bearing secrets but to stride across in full glory with nothing to hide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian novelist James Joyce had a pessimistic view about intimate connection. Here’s what he said: “Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Years after he had begun his work as a poet, Rainer Maria Rilke confessed that he was still finding out what it took to do his job. “I am learning to see,” he wrote. “I don’t know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to.” Given the current astrological omens, you have a similar opportunity, Pisces: to learn more about how to see. It won’t happen like magic. You can’t just sit back passively and wait for the universe to accomplish it for you. But if you decide you really would like to be more perceptive — if you resolve to receive and register more of the raw life data that’s flowing towards you — you will expand and deepen your ability to see.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you feeling as daring about romance as I suspect? If so, I’ve composed a provocative note for you to give to anyone you have good reason to believe will be glad to receive it.

Feel free to copy it word-for-word or edit it to suit your needs. Here it is: “I want to be your open-hearted explorer. Want to be mine? We can be in foolishly cool drooling devotion to each other’s mighty love power. We can be in elegant solid-gold allegiance to each other’s genius. Wouldn’t it be fun to see how much liberation we can whip up together? We can play off our mutual respect as we banish the fearful shticks in our bags of tricks. We can inspire each other to reach unexpected heights of brazen intelligence.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You still have a wound that never formed a proper scar. (We’re speaking metaphorically here.) It’s chronically irritated. Never quite right. Always stealing bits of your attention.

Would you like to do something to reduce the distracting power of that annoying affliction?

The next 25 days will be a favorable time to seek such a miracle. All the forces of nature and spirit will conspire in your behalf if you formulate a clear intention to get the healing you need and deserve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his poem “The Initiate,” Charles Simic speaks of “someone who solved life’s riddles in a voice of an ancient Sumerian queen.” I hope you’re not focused on seeking help and revelations from noble and grandiose sources like that, Gemini. If you are, you may miss the useful cues and clues that come your way via more modest informants. So please be alert for the blessings of the ordinary. As you work on solving your quandaries, give special attention to serendipitous interventions and accidental luck.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): For many years, the Tobe Zoological Park in China housed a “praying panther” named Ato. The large black feline periodically rose up on her hind legs and put her paws together as if petitioning a higher power for blessings. I suggest we make her your spirit ally in the coming weeks. I hope she’ll inspire you to get your restless mind out of the way as you seek to quench your primal needs. With the praying panther as your muse, you should be able to summon previously untapped reserves of your animal intelligence and cultivate an instinctual knack for knowing where to find raw, pristine satisfaction.

unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another’s soul.” My challenge to you, Aquarius — in accordance with the astrological omens — is to prove Joyce wrong. Figure out how to make your soul virgin again so it can cast itself out into the ocean of another’s soul. The next eight weeks will be prime time to achieve that glorious feat.

s a virtual shut-in with borderline hoarding tendencies (although, when tubs of stray power and USB cords and 15-year-old copies of High Times become coin of the realm, who will look foolish THEN?) I enjoy mail, telling me out the outside world and its cannabis concerns and curiosities.

To that end, here are the answers to some of the questions you’ve been asking.

start with an E-Nail or vaporizer with the ability to handle concentrates/ extracts. Start at lower temps, and don’t take lung busting hits. Have water at the ready if your body responds to this new sensation by strenuously attempting to expel a lung.

Q: What’s the best weed? What’s the best weed you’ve ever smoked?

A: Drop it off at the Source Weekly offices, and I’ll let you know.

Based on its age, the THC has denigrated into CBN. It’s going to be great for sleep, but not much else.

Try reviving it by dropping in a Bovida pak, a two-way humidity control item that will restore your relative humidity to an ideal 58-62 percent. Don’t have one of those laying around?

Luddite. A slice of apple or a handful of blueberries for about five to 12 hours in a tightly sealed glass jar will work.

A: I don’t ...for what? Sleep? House cleaning? Watching GOT? (There is no strain that makes viewing the British Carrot Top of shitty rhymes known as Ed Sheeran bearable. It does not exist.)

I cannot answer that question. I’m sorry. The effects vary based on a multitude of factors. I would focus more on how you are consuming your favorite, or untried but potential to become your new favorite, strains and extracts. Love and respect to the bong rippers, but I now use a vaporizer to consume my daily intake of cannabis. I taste more flavor notes, can vary the effects, extract a particular range of cannabinoids and terpenes based upon temperature settings, and I don’t hack like a West Virginia coal miner.

The best I ever smoked was with someone I loved sitting on the couch laughing. I don’t recall the strain, but I recall the person every day.

Q: I want to dab, but I’m scared.

Should I be?

A: You should be...because over 14,000 Americans lost their lives last year while dabbing.

Wait, no...that’s injuries from snowmobiles. I always get those two confused. I’m not sure why. Probably the dabs.

As I’ve written, there is tremendous value for medical users in dabbing, as the far higher THC content allows for faster onset of effects and longer duration of time between doses. Some users report a clear, “behind the eyes” sort of high, instead of a heavy, lethargic stone.

But that increased potency comes with a price, and not just of the costs of $30 to $60+ per gram. Over dabbing can lead to sweats, dizziness and the drooling, slack-jawed, face plant behavior known as DTFO, or Dabbed the Fuck Out. It’s not a good look on anyone.

If you want to dance with the Devil’s Play-Do(pe), do yourself and all things flammable, including your skin, a huge favor: skip the open flame torch and quartz nail, and

Q: I just found some old weed—like, Obama’s-first-term-level-old—in a stash tin. Is it still any good?

Q: Without any legally sanctioned and designated spaces for cannabis consumption, where I am supposed to get high?

A: Great question.

You aren’t.

For a state (and its cities) that certainly seem to enjoy the benefits of cannabis taxation and permit and license fees, its gets awfully quiet when this question comes up.

Short answer: In a private home, or outside, fenced off in some fashion so that passersby can’t see you inhale and exhale.

But from what I see walking the mean streets, there are no fucks to be given surrounding public consumption. Cars, steps, sidewalks, in front of bars, etc. I can’t advise you go that route, but I wouldn’t blame you if you did.
