OPINION

Local media should have access to police radio traffic, in real time.

T

his week, the Deschutes County 9-1-1 Service District made the move from an analog-based radio system to a more modern, digital trunked system. Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson told the Source Weekly Tuesday that the old system had reached the “end of its life.”

The upside to the switch: the gaps in coverage that sometimes meant first responders didn’t have radio service in certain pockets will be a thing of the past.

The downside: the public’s ability to listen in on police scanner traffic will also be a thing of the past.

According to a fact sheet released by Deschutes County 9-1-1, the “transition means people with scanners will not be able to receive law enforcement radio traffic. Listeners interested in monitoring those channels will need to use the internet-based stream when it becomes available in late-August.”

According to that fact sheet, fire and EMS users will continue to use VHR radio systems until late this year, when they, too, will migrate to the digital system. Fire and EMS radio traffic will not be encrypted, but those currently using analog scanners will need to move to a digital scanner in order to hear that traffic.

Meanwhile, no one but law enforcement officials will be able to hear the law enforcement dispatch radio traffic in Deschutes County in real time. According to the fact sheet, the move is intended to “keep local first responders safe.”

A report titled, “Considerations for Encryption in Public Safety Radio Systems,” featured on the Department of Homeland Security website, states: “unencrypted public safety voice transmissions can be intercepted, abetting criminal activity, thwarting public safety efforts, and endangering the public and public safety personnel.”

Beginning in late August, the public can hear that local police traffic, with

a 30-minute delay, online. That includes media outlets that have long relied on scanner traffic to inform the public about safety concerns and breaking news that may affect their lives—in real time.

We believe the move to a delayed system in order to keep the public informed is a mistake. Before this move, it’s true that anyone with a scanner or an app such as Broadcastify (which allows people to listen live to police and other audio feeds) was able to listen in—and possibly interrupt—law enforcement actions. We admit that could be a problem. Still, those “bad guys” aren’t the only ones listening in.

As reported by KOIN, Clark County, Wash., moved to a digital system in June, opting to allow certain media outlets to have encryption keys that would allow them to access police radio traffic, while leaving out the “bad guys” who might use the information for nefarious purposes. In the interest of public safety and media transparency, we believe that option should be considered in Deschutes County.

Steve Reinke, director of the Deschutes County 9-1-1 Service District, told the Source Weekly Tuesday that law enforcement officials discussed the encryption key option for media here, but decided against it due to reports of media outlets “losing keys” or having difficulties managing the keys, which are issued through the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Nelson said that in addition to securing an active crime scene, consistency remains an important facet of their operations. We argue that in the interest of consistency, local media outlets should be able to rely on the real-time system of gathering information that we’ve been using for decades. To his credit, Nelson seemed receptive to adjustments in the plan. In the interest of keeping the public informed and media transparency, we’d like that adjustment. SW

5 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 31 / August 3, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Ever since I first skinny-dipped in Fall Creek east of Eugene in the early 1970s, I have thought of bathing suits as being the most absurd item of clothing ever invented.

You don’t wear one in the shower, so why wear one anytime you swim? I am not at all ashamed of my 70-year-old body because it is who I am and I’m not ashamed of me.

Shame of the naked human body is a bizarre, self-inflicted psychological disease and a group naked bike ride is great medicine to combat that pitiful, schizophrenic condition. I blame millennia of organized religious dogma for causing this mass social schizophrenia. What is a more logical path to a sustainable future for human civilization: having religious wars over disagreements about what happens after you die; or taking off your clothes amongst other humans in the sunshine while joyfully celebrating being alive, healthy and human right now?

Did I participate in Bend’s First Annual Naked Bike Ride? The notice in the Source Weekly said 8 to 11pm so I went there at 8pm with the intention of doing so. I had seen on YouTube the crowds of naked and semi-naked people in Portland’s Naked Bike Ride so thought that progressive, athletic Bend would be able to whip up at least 50 or a 100 free-spirits.

Thirty people showed up and gathered in a tight group as if they were afraid to go through with it, at least until it got dark. I agreed with one person who asked “Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?” So I did not join in—not because the crowd was small but because it was happening long after the sun had set!

If you are trying to make a statement that nudity is no big deal and is the most natural condition possible to attain, then MAKE THE DAMN STATEMENT IN THE FULL AND GLORIOUS SUNSHINE! Show people you believe what you say and don’t skulk around town at night as you timidly infer how uninhibited you are.

Don’t ride by the bars but ride along our beautiful river where families and kids can see you, because they are the ones who need enlightening the most.

So if the Bend Second Annual Naked Bike Ride happens during the day, I’ll join in. But why bother if no one can see our free minds and bodies because it is night?

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT “WINTER QUARTER AVERAGING” COULD COST YOU A LOT OF MONEY Ever wonder how the City of Bend determines what to bill you for your use of the city sewer system? I didn’t think much about it either, until I discovered that I had overpaid more than $350 for my sewer use over the past year.

Metering actual sewer flows for each household would be impractical, so the City Utilities Department estimates your sewer consumption by how much water you use.

But since water consumption varies greatly throughout the year — primarily because of higher outdoor water use in the warmer months — the City looks at only the average water consumption during December, January and February: the “winter quarter” to calculate the sewer rate for each household for the entire year.

Averaging winter quarter water use to estimate sewer consumption is a fair concept, but can have a grossly negative impact on some customers. A supply-line water leak or other excessive water use event during the winter months will not only make your water bill higher when it happens, but will also lead to a higher assumed sewer rate which will be carried through the entire next year.

In my case, a faulty backyard water

feature increased my winter water consumption threefold, and my sewer rate increased $30 per month for the following year as a result.

So look at your water/sewer bill closely, especially the winter quarter average consumption. New sewer rates will go into effect this month for 2017/2018. And you only have 120 days to appeal if they aren’t accurate.

— Bruce Johnson

BAD TIMING (7/26) Another sad example of not caring about what happens to other people.

OH, DAM. IT’S BACK (7/19) Considering the uncertainty of PacifiCorp’s plans for their dilapidated dam and pond and the lack of clear support from the public — the option of doing nothing is the best approach at this time.

There is no critical harm created by the present sedimentation of the pond that requires immediate action. The water is still reflecting the mountains for the enjoyment of park visitors, swans are still swimming and the sedimentation has probably reached equilibrium.

If wildlife is a concern then the best action is to remove the dam and restore the

Insurance coverage (or lack thereof) got you down?

Alternative pay medical models offer a local option for healthcare woes

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / August 3, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

K

eeping current on changes in healthcare can be overwhelming.

Like an irrational tweeter, the fluctuations over coverage concerning preexisting conditions, who qualifies for Medicaid and Medicare, and possible tax credits or subsidies seems to zig-zag faster than can be searched on a smartphone.

Some argue that the problem’s origins can be traced to the 1960s, when the Medicare fee-for-service system forced a shift in healthcare from patient-driven to provider-oriented, rewarding volume rather than value of service and focusing on sickness rather than preventative care.

As a result of the FFS shift, many have found themselves in a modern healthcare purgatory, including Bend resident Rachel Wilson.* As a full time mechanic’s apprentice, Wilson’s employer option is a healthcare package that covers 10 yearly visits, each with a co-pay. This coverage has no allotment for emergencies, specialist treatment, dental or eye care and includes a $7,000 deductible. The monthly cost is just under 10 percent of her take-home pay. Because of the gaps in coverage and the high cost, Wilson has opted not to pay for that plan, and instead pays the yearly tax penalty of $600—nearly 3 percent of her takehome pay.

“Since my employer offers coverage, I don’t qualify for the federal and state reimbursements people get when their job doesn’t offer healthcare,” the avid skier and climber says. “I pretty much have no choices with conventional coverage and am definitely looking for alternatives. The reason I moved to Bend was to recreate in my free time. This puts me at greater risk for needing coverage.”

Alternatives to the Typical Insurance Models Amid the mire of the traditional health coverage models are alternative payment medical models, or alternative payment models. As former Utah governor Michael Leavitt (R) explained, “APMs are designed to move away from the perverse incentives inherent in the current FFS system and toward patient-centered healthcare.”

Local pediatrician Erika Beard-Irvine, MD has been offering APM services in Central Oregon since her separation from the Navy in 2014.

When she began working in the civilian world, Irvine says she was torn about continuing to practice, because generally, patients are only allotted a 20-minute appointment window.

“I love taking care of kids,” Irvine says. “I don’t love having to compress my relationship with kids and their parents. I want to have time with my patients to get to know them. I want to

tailor care to specific situations.”

Irvine accomplishes longer visits and tailored patient care through direct primary care. With DPC, patients pay a monthly fee, much like a gym membership, that covers all services provided by the doctor. In Irvine’s pediatrics clinic, the fee includes all well visits, sick visits, follow-ups and appointments for chronic conditions.

In most clinics, patients typically have direct access to the doctor by phone, email and (often) text. Some DPC facilities also offer appointments via video chat, and discounted rates for testing and medications.

Costs of Direct Primary Care In addition to the monthly membership option, Irvine can bill patients’ insurance plans as an out-of-network or nonparticipating provider, but recommends patients check with their insurance plan to determine coverage.

Some DPC clinics offer a discount for paying the entire bill during the visit, and will give patients the paperwork to submit to their health insurance plan. Sliding scale payments are sometimes an option.

Mark E. Gonsky, DO of Deschutes Family Care, a facility offering DPC memberships, says he charges $60 per month ($10 a month for children of members) and that discounted rates are available for certain situations. He notes, “With DPC models, the patient gets to have YourCare rather than ObamaCare or TrumpCare.”

In Oregon, DPC clinics are not considered insurance, so patients are still required to carry health insurance if they don’t want to pay a federal tax penalty—problematic for folks who can’t afford to pay for both. In addition, the IRS doesn’t permit health savings accounts to be used to pay for DPC fees—although a bill has been introduced to change that. DPC clinics also sometimes offer contracts directly with employers.

The models can also be attractive for people on high deductible insurance plans, becoming more like car insurance: available for high-expense emergencies but not for routine expenses.

For DPC patient and mother Eirinn Ames, access and costs have been the main selling points. “DPC allows direct access to your doctor without a third party having a stakehold in how your health care is administered. And, most people don’t know the price of an actual office visit or any of the services that you go to see a doctor for because there is very little transparency in price. Most of the information on cost comes after it’s been processed by the insurance companies. I can’t think of going out to get something done on my car or house without first knowing how much I’m going to pay for it.” SW

With the wrap-up of the Oregon Legislature, a look at how some parts of the budget shook out for Central Oregonians

ith the adjournment of the Legislature on July 7, many people have questions about the budget. In simple terms, what got funded and what got left on the table?

Per the Budget Information Brief provided by the Legislative Fiscal Office, the Oregon Legislature adopted a 2017-2019 budget from all sources of $74.432 billion. This is a 3.7 percent increase over the 2015-2017 legislatively approved budget.

Those are big numbers—overwhelming to the ordinary person.

Funding transportation, education and health care took much of the attention of this legislative session, and are areas touching or impacting hundreds of thousands of Oregon’s citizens.

K-12 Funding

Transportation Funding

Healthcare Funding

In the education arena, K-12 funding is the largest portion. The Legislature passed an $8.2 billion school funding package for the 2017-2019 biennium. Additionally, it funded Measure 98, passed last year to focus on career technical education, dropout prevention and college readiness, to the tune of $170 million—slightly over half of what was estimated necessary for full implementation. Bend-LaPine is the 5th largest school district in Oregon—so how will it be impacted by these funding packages?

Funding formulas are complicated. Brad Henry, chief operations and financial officer for the District, told the Source Weekly that based on all components, the State School Fund package would allow them to meet the current service level, but would not allow them to expand investments in programs. He further indicated that the only opportunity to expand programs and services will come with Measure 98 dollars. Because of its size, Bend-LaPine already services the three areas covered in the bill (career and technical education, dropout prevention and college readiness) but the additional monies will allow them to supplement what they are doing and look for opportunities to enhance programs.

Henry emphasized that revenues are still not sufficient for the district to move back to pre-recession class sizes, though it has steadily moved in that direction. The recently adopted budget includes additional dollars for a projected 320 additional students in the District next year. (At the start of the 2016-17 school year, however, Bend-La Pine added 500 new students.)

Transportation was another large budget item. Though not the original $8 billion proposed, the $5.3 billion package passed in House Bill 2017 is heralded as the largest in Oregon history. The 146-page bill covers a broad spectrum of transportation issues, not the least of which was setting up the revenue mechanism to fund the 10-year transportation improvement package. Revenues will come from a variety of sources, including increases in the state gas tax over the next six years, a new $15 bike tax on bicycles costing $200 or more and vehicle registration fees, with the greatest increase on electric and fuel efficient vehicles, to even out those paying increased gas taxes. Each county and city gets its cut.

The process of passing this package was not always pretty, but as Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney—also the chair of the Oregon Transportation Commission— indicated to me, the process focused on the needs and challenges across the state that the current lack of investment in transportation was creating.

Baney also pointed out that it was not just infrastructure improvements that are addressed by the legislation, but also opportunities for investment in public transit and various multi-modal transit options.

Baney indicated that the County is not yet counting the dollars until the legislation takes effect, (91 days after adjournment), but in estimates provided by the Association of Oregon Counties, Deschutes County will average $5.1 million per year over the 10-year life of the funding.

Oregon passed two bills dealing with funding healthcare in Oregon, including Senate Bill 558, passed on the final day of the session. Referred to as Cover All Kids, it extended health care coverage to all children residing in Oregon whose family income is at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, and regardless of legal status. It also increased funding for children’s health care by $36,113,214. This effectively opened the door to cover 17,600 children who had previously been ineligible.

Oregon also tackled the issue of Medicaid funding while staring down a barrel of uncertainty from the federal government. With the goal of continuing coverage for the approximately 350,000 Oregon Medicaid expansion recipients placed at risk by potential Congressional action, House Bill 2391 was passed and signed into law by the governor July 3. To provide the needed funding, HB 2391 extended by two years an existing provider tax on some hospitals, and increased the assessment by .07 percent, with some exceptions.

It also created a 1.5 percent assessment on premiums of health insurers, the Public Employee Benefits Board and managed care organizations. Efforts are already underway to challenge much of this legislation through the ballot initiative process.

Many budget requests were left on the table, and many will argue that dollars are not always spent in the right way. Passing a budget is not always a pretty process. In fact, it is often compared to making sausage. SW Judy Stiegler is an attorney, a former Oregon legislator and teaches political science at Central Oregon Community College.

In the wake of marijuana legalization, a writer sets out to find his former dealers—and some ugly truths by Brad Lockwood, Photo by Brian Becker Fukushima is the best description of Rob. A toxic calamity of indefinite proportions, insatiable destruction spreading since 2011—when I last bought weed from him.

Rob was a drug-fueled mess, his attention span mere nanoseconds until another sound or halfthought struck, his ramshackle home evidence of assorted experiments in construction: Broken and poorly repaired siding; horseshoe pits that his neighbors surely despised. I still dream with dread of having to visit Rob’s home on Bend’s west side, nightmare awareness that the next knock on his door could mean a DEA bust or home invasion.

Rob wasn’t just dealing marijuana. Moreso after 2015, when dispensaries sprang up, choice strains being offered by overly polite “budtenders” using the proper lingo, insisting that we say “flowers” instead of “weed” when browsing, logos on their matching shirts. No clone of Diesel and White Widow could explain Rob’s unlimited energy at all hours, how happy he was to see me whenever I invaded Bend, nor the desperation I felt to depart quickly but soon stuck for another taste before escaping. I was the anomaly; it was Rob’s other customers that most troubled me, rapid taps on the door and quick conversations, tight fists exchanging what only Rob and they knew…

Welcome to the commercialization of weed. And this makes my search for my former dealers all the more difficult. One promised me the “purest high in the Cascades” as I went to tour his grow outside Sisters. Hours later, still gasping and splashing my face from the Metolius, I had to admit he was right. But (and there’s always a “but” in this game) he wouldn’t go on record, saying only that the highend marijuana strains he grows are immune to the market, customers still flock to buy his latest crop, to avoid paying taxes, loyal to the kinship they have developed over the years.

In Brooklyn, where I sometimes reside, I’ve been using the same guy for years.

Bike delivery is bliss, and he arrives at the appointed time, armed with choice samples of smoke, edibles and whatever else I may find interesting. It’s expensive, an eighth usually costing $80, and the requisite tip guaranteeing that any home visit will cost at least $100.

While these prices may shock many in Oregon, that’s New York City, where a 50 percent premium on a cocktail or hotdog is a given. Adding to insult, New York passed the most business-friendly and anti-medical marijuana “legalization” bill in America last year. No smoking, no growing, only oils and tinctures allowed, 20 dispensaries total across the state, run and supplied by secretly chosen corporations that will soon control the entire East Coast of America. Billed as showing compassion to those who need weed (and ignoring cash-only transactions and massive distance between dispensaries), this law seems to have been written by the black market, guaranteeing that all recreational use will remain utterly ignored.

Embrace your freedom, Oregon. Forget your former dealer and meet the new, shiny and licensed, with a green cross out front. Oregon statistics show that barely 30 percent of marijuana use is medical, and this downward trend will only continue, as 80 percent of the 300 dispensaries across Oregon have applied to sell for recreational use.

Legalization was sold as a cure, helping those who need the emerging medical benefits of marijuana while bringing from the shadows an industry that elected officials always knew existed, but eventually acknowledged in order to raise tax revenue. Yes, these are well-paying jobs (budtenders make $16.50 per hour on average a recent government study showed) in a growth industry (80 percent employment increase in the past year). Yet the black market remains, secret lives and dark money, far more than weed available for the eager user.

There’s an unknown body in the ocean or buried in the desert that had a name.

Rob was no martyr, rather another casualty to our supposed green revolution.

So tip well the next time you buy some flowers, then go to your secret spot and get your fix. SW

This made me the most anxious. Understandably. And this trepidation only increased when I realized that I’d have to again visit Rob’s home, seeing more broken siding and probably horseshoes rusting amid overgrown pits. To view his ecstatic smile once more, that blissful welcome into his dark living room, the pungent smell of skunk and something resembling burnt plastic.

These days, I could go to a dispensary, sure, as I have many times before, but this time I was seeking my former drug dealers in order to understand how they’ve adapted to weed being legal. With some black markets supposedly ceased, what are they doing now?

To my dismay, I found that Rob is gone. His old home repaired, pits unearthed, new siding no less! Surely Rob didn’t do this work; perhaps Bend’s latest rebirth between another housing crash allowed him to sell out and escape?! Puerto Rico?

Hawaii? Dodge City?

No clues. So I tracked down Rob’s former girlfriend, the sole sweetness in that depraved dealer’s house and, perhaps, the only reason why I used him in the first place. Truth be told, she always seemed like a hostage, and admits that much today. After escaping Rob, she now sees things so much clearer: No more migraines, life so much easier and productive now that she needn’t live in fear of arrest, more drug-induced abuse, verbal or worse. Rob wasn’t a good guy—we all knew that, but what befell my former dealer — and her boyfriend — is a story of warning in the age of legalization.

“He’s either in a barrel in the ocean or buried in the desert.”

I laughed when she said this. She didn’t join me.

As far as his former girlfriend could uncover, Rob diversified from low-margin legal weed, getting deeper into cocaine and pills, deeper into debt to his suppliers, too. So, when he couldn’t pay, he fled. And they found him; they always do. Now Rob’s whereabouts are unknown, the ocean or desert, another casualty of drugs, legal and otherwise, an insatiable force of destruction has been snuffed.

Sadly, lives are still being lost despite the legalization of marijuana—the black market’s assumed castration. According to a Forbes report on the marijuana market, wholesale prices per pound have plummeted as more states legalize recreational use: $2,500 to $1,000 on average in 2016 alone. Such a crash pinches profits and makes the risk of running pounds not worth it… Spot pricing in 2017 (yes, marijuana is now a commodity like crude oil, with speculators waging bets) suggest a slight upswing, hovering around $1,600 per pound retail, based on supply and demand. Part of this increase was highly public, with Nevada officials recently declaring a “state of emergency” due to a lack of marijuana supply for dispensaries post-legalization. Similarly, Washington utterly underestimated the demand for edibles and tinctures, due to older recreational users’ reluctance to smoke.

It In SOUND Soak Bend-based band Wayward Soul returns to Brokedown Soakdown for the festival’s second year

By Anne Pick

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / August 3, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

12

Wayward Soul, a Bend-based eclectic band that blends styles ranging from Americana and roots to soul and funk, played last year’s Brokedown Soakdown festival at Gary Calicott

Summer Lake Hot Springs, and can’t wait to return this summer.

Wayward Soul takes the stage at last year’s Brokedown Soakdown at Summer Lake Hot Springs. The band returns to the picturesque locale this weekend.

“W

e’re going to try to reel it off for the second year,” Cameron Harris, Wayward Soul’s bassist says. “We have this little seed of an event that we created.

People participated and enjoyed and had fun and we’re stepping it up. Stacie [Johnson] and Aaron [Chambers] have done a great job with the lineup this year.”

The event itself is organized by Johnson and Chambers of Bend-based band Broken Down Guitars, who got the idea while soaking there early last year. The lineup includes Broken Down Guitars, Elektrapod, Goodbye Dyna, Fortune’s Folly, Butterfly Breakdown, Zahira, Ubuntu and several other bands from throughout the state.

“We’re trying to ramp up the production and take that next appropriate step of what we created and just try to grow this thing and build this thing out there,” Harris says.

“That really fires me up because you can consume other people’s stuff, but I think the real satisfaction comes in creating something. And so I feel part ownership of what they’ve created just because we as a band were there and helped produce this thing. I’m excited to see it take the next step in evolution.”

Wayward Soul got its start about two years ago as part of the Make-A-Band program in Bend. Music producers came, picked musicians who didn’t know each other to form a band and they were given a month to create songs for a showcase. Think Battle of the Bands, only this is the first time you’re ever met your bandmates.

Now, two years later, Wayward Soul continues onward with an ever-evolving collaboration style.

“It’s [the collaboration process] developed a lot,” drummer Chad Hester says. “We started more focused, oriented around the country vibe and our singers. Over time, we’ve

gotten to know each other and our different influences have come into play. Cameron Harris, our bassist and I, each have a much different vibe—more funk, rock. I have more jazz, he has more reggae and that started to come into play a little more.”

For Grace Cooper, vocalist, pianist, acoustic guitarist and youngest member of Wayward Soul, this is the first time she’s been deeply invested in the music scene. Prior to Make-ABand, she did some busking but hadn’t been in a band.

“This has been a really cool experience, beyond anything I could have asked for,” Cooper says. “I love that we’re still together and still collaborating. Learning how to work with other people through this has been really eye-opening for me as a musician.”

Speaking with Harris, Cooper and Hester, the band cannot wait to return to Summer Lake Hot Springs and Brokedown Soakdown. Each credits Johnson and Chambers for their vision and efforts in creating this special festival.

“This place, Summer Lake Hot Springs, is magical,” Hester says with enthusiasm. “You’re looking out across this massive plain behind this small stage sitting in the middle of nowhere. Behind you, you’ve got these old school barns and beautiful hot springs you can soak in. To go and soak in a hot springs, stare at a stage while you’re soaking and behind it is this gorgeous sunset with the salt flats, it’s just unreal. It’s such a cool place. The stars at night, you see everything.” SW Brokedown Soakdown

Traveling Storyteller

James McMurtry talks about what makes a good song and why he loves driving on tour

By Anne Pick

For James McMurtry, if he can perform a song without cringing, it’s a good one.

“I

was doing this long before the term ‘Americana’ was applied to any form of music,” James McMurtry says of his music style. “I modeled my whole thing on Kris Kristofferson and Crazy Horse and The Band. My musical influences were more rock and roll.”

Upon listening to McMurtry, who headlines at the Domino Room on Thursday night, it’s easy to pick up hints of his influences. Between his vocal twang and easy listening folkrock style, you might catch a hint of Bob Dylan. Like Dylan, McMurtry boasts a strong songwriting style that speaks to the masses. On his latest album, “Complicated Game,” McMurtry focuses on relationships — something to which many listeners can relate.

“I hear a couple lines and a melody in my head and if it’s cool enough to keep me up at night I’ll finish the song,” McMurtry says of his songwriting process. “I just keep following it until I get a verse/chorus structure.

Usually, I’ll hear the line and think, ‘Who said that?’ I try to imagine a character that might have said those lines. Then I can write the songs from the character’s point of view. If I’m lucky, I can work backwards from the character and get the story.”

While the best songs may keep him up at night, McMurtry still has to love performing them. The true test for whether it’s a good song comes down

to whether he can perform it without cringing. With 12 studio albums under his belt, starting with 1989’s “Too Long in the Wasteland,” it seems songwriting comes naturally to the Austin, Texas-based musician.

A career in music also appeals to McMurtry because of the touring.

While other musicians may complain about the long drives, McMurtry loves it—to a point. He doesn’t often drive more than eight hours a day, preferring no more than five, which he credits to having a good booking agent who does good routing.

“I like getting out and getting around the country at different times of year,” McMurtry says. ”I do about half the drivin’ and the rest of the time I’m looking out the window. I’m watching, I’m seeing what plants are blooming, what crops are growing in different parts of the country. I’ve seen that change. I saw the whole country go from soybeans to corn when ethanol went up. That’s interesting to me and you don’t really see that unless you’re out driving around the country.”

Listening to “Complicated Game,” it’s easy to imagine a cross country road trip with McMurtry as your storyteller. He’s observant. He writes for the human condition and his songs perfectly score the scene of a movie in which the lead character drives through the night to get home to the one he or she loves. Classically Americana... whatever that means. SW

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Why you need to see the TOTAL eclipse—and why you need to take care to protect your eyeballs

By Magdalena Bokowa

First things first: Eyewear “Really give your eyewear a thorough interrogation,” says veteran eclipse chaser and part-time local David Blackmore. “Have a good look before you buy, make sure there’s no holes, no wrinkles or scratches and that they are less than three years old.” Blackmore has been tracking solar eclipses for 20 years, having seen 12— so you could say he’s the resident expert. He himself opts for a welding mask at a shade of #14 or darker, as recommended by NASA.

Still, no need to invest in such fancy goggles if you don’t plan on soldering pipes in the near future. Paper eyeglasses will do just fine, though Blackmore says NASA “can err on the side of stringent —they do really know their stuff.”

Following reports of “unsafe” eyewear being sold across the U.S., NASA released a cautionary memo instructing buyers to check glasses for two crucial things: • A manufacturer name (NASA recommends American Paper Optics, Thousand Oaks Optical, Baader Planetarium, TSE 17 and, coming in sounding like a tie-dye hippie, Rainbow Symphony.)

• The ISO icon with reference 12312-2 Nana’s old advice: When in doubt, throw it out So what about those uber-cool “farout” glasses you got off that Central Oregon Buy, Sell and Trade Facebook group?

(Yeah I’m looking at you, COBSTF!) “I mean, you don’t think people would be selling them without safety in mind because they wouldn’t want a blow-back if it caused you eye damage, wouldn’t it?” reasons Blackburn. Still, many are rolling the Craigslist eyewear dice, even though you can find ISO certified glasses at local places such as Newport Market or Ace Hardware for just a few dollars.

Buy your eyewear early, like, finish reading this and go. Now! And take good care of them.

Blackburn suggests wrapping them

in tissue paper and storing them in a solid container. “Treat them as the incredible value they are—don’t just stick them all willy-nilly into a glovebox. The last thing you want is to get out there and find out, oh, someone’s sat on my glasses,” he says, laughing. An old-fashioned DIY pinhole viewer can be crafted in a pinch, with instructions on the NASA website.

Wear your eyewear until the moment the moon completely covers the sun. Blackburn describes the moment where a diamond-like ring flashes “as it’s bouncing off the crater of the moon. Then you see the aura.”

As darkness emerges, you can view the moon/sun with the naked eye, but beware: time’s’ a tickin’, with only two minutes or so to gaze.

Mmmkay. I got the glasses.

Now I can sit at home because we’re at 99.8 percent totality, yeah?

“A total eclipse is totally different than a partial eclipse,” says Blackburn, “It’s literally night and day.” Oddly, for a Brit, Blackburn didn’t mean the intended pun. He goes on to recount his very first eclipse experience in England in the ‘90s. “It was really weird.... And in true British style, it clouded over. But even so, I was standing on the edge, overlooking the ocean and I witnessed the intense shadow moving towards me, and in a blink of an eye it went from daylight

to darkness.

It went really pitch black. Quite spooky actually, since one minute it’s summer... then it’s night, and then it’s back again.”

So he implores Oregonians to see it—ALL of it. “As much as a part of me doesn’t want everyone flocking to the path of totality, we are so close to it, you have to give the extra effort and really go see the full thing. It’s like nothing else.

“It gets dark. Nature reacts. Birds start chirping. It cools down.”

Blackburn, a member of a group of 100 or so eclipse chasers who travel around the world to see the phenomena, also advocates for something else: the intense feeling of community.

“It’s captivated me for over 20 years, since it’s such a sharing event. I really want to emphasize that. You have people from all across the world coming to witness this, from Japan to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

“We go through day-to-day life, with the sun shining behind us and our eyes on the ground. We don’t really engage much with the universe. But when you get an event like this, it shows you the mechanics playing right in front of you.

You realize, it’s not just me, or you, or our country, or our planet. It’s all of us.

It’s such a profound moment and a beautiful phenomena. We like to call it, ‘The Greatest Show on Earth.’” SW

n Aug. 21, millions of people will share in a communal experience that surpasses socio-economidc class, gender, race, political ties and more— and all for just a few bucks.

(Or several thousands, if you’re one of those AirBnbers...)

As the path of totality crosses over 14 states—stretching from Oregon to South Carolina—will yield something not seen in nearly a century: a solar eclipse able to be seen, at least in part, by everyone in the continental U.S. And you know it must be a thing when the golden arches are getting into the game. From those bringing you Big Macs, to REI, to your local grocery shops and even clever entrepreneurs peddling their wares on Craigslist and Facebook, eclipse viewing glasses are flooding the market.

But which glasses are safe?

And why even bother with viewing this thing when traffic’s so gosh-darn bad? We give you the lowdown.

Ashley Volz

“This experience has been like a baptism by fire, for all of us.”

An integral part of the Emergency Service Team During the Great American Eclipse

W

e’ve been hearing it for months: Deschutes County will double in size during the eclipse, up to 400,000 people — and Bend isn’t even in the path of totality. “Where are they getting those numbers?” you may ask.

Here’s the answer: Ashley Volz, the Deschutes County Sheriff ’s emergency services coordinator. On the job since February, one of her first tasks was to track how many visitors Central Oregonians could expect during the Great American Eclipse Aug. 21.

“When you hear 95,000 alone are coming for a solar eclipse event, those are hard numbers,” says Volz, who went to the county permitting offices in the tri-county areas to track down licensed events. “The Symbiosis Event at Big Summit Prairie will have 35,000 people alone. Add in the other events, plus motel and hotel occupancies, campgrounds, vacation rentals and family and friends, we estimate 200,000 tourists — just in Deschutes.”

With Deschutes County not being in the path of totality, Volz and her team, under the leadership of Sgt. Nathan Garibay, are providing support and infrastructure for Cook and Jefferson Counties, where totality will happen. “I mean, think about Madras which usually only has 17,000 residents,” she says.

Following in the footsteps of her father and grandfather, Volz served as a police officer for eight years, starting

ARTWATCH

out in Sunriver on bike patrol. As she puts it, she’s a “Bend kid, born and raised.”

The mother of two’s proudest moment was when she returned to her old high school — Mountain View — to work as a School Resource Officer.

“When you’re on the street you can’t build those relationships and follow up on people to see how they’re doing. It’s such a small snippet of time,” she declares. “With Mountain View, I was able to see lasting, positive impact. I made relationships and checked in on kids and was a part of their community.”

With a hunger for that community impact, Volz decided to throw herself into emergency services this year, educating herself diligently — taking FEMA courses, attending conferences, events and trainings to better prepare for the worst-case scenarios. “It’s great timing to take this job now,” she jokes.

“This experience has been like a baptism by fire, for all of us.”

Volz says that although tough and time consuming, eclipse prepping has brought about a team-building atmosphere, with agencies at the local and state levels sharing information and working together. “Literally, any organization with a vested interest in safety or public health, we’re working with,” she says. She points to a virtual

file sharing system at Coemergencyinfo.blogspot.com as a great resource for locals, tourists and organizations alike.

Prevention has been at the forefront, with Volz suggesting the biggest mantra is, “If you’re coming: arrive early, stay put and leave late. Don’t try to move right before the eclipse. Residents should stock up on all essentials — groceries, gas, toilet paper, pet food — by no later than August 16.” She also suggests checking on those who don’t have access to a vehicle or are disabled.

Apart from common sense approaches, such as, “don’t look at the sun without safety glasses,” or “stock up on water and don’t get dehydrated,” Volz says it’s crucial to also educate those from out of the area — particularly from overseas — on things deemed common sense to Central Oregonians, such as wildfire prevention.

“Some may not know that we are a wildfire country when they come here, so for example, PSAs on ‘don’t pull off into the weeds with your hot exhaust because it may start a wildfire,’ are important preventative measures.”

One of the weirdest things not

accounted for during this eclipse prep?

“Who’s going to pay for all the extra resources put into the planning?” she says. Since it’s a collaborative tri-county event, Volz says there will be talk “after the dust settles,” on who will pick up what part of the tab.

And as for Gov. Brown ordering the National Guard to the region, she says they’re still waiting to see in what capacity they will be used. Volz reasons that if an emergency arises, the great thing is: “You’re literally standing next to the person who is team leading the response, so you can say to them, ‘How can I support you?’ ...We have so many of the key players already at the table.”

With the operational period beginning Wed., Aug. 16, Volz says she and her colleagues will be prepared from 6 am to “rock 'n' roll” and do whatever is necessary to ensure public safety and health during the week of the Great American Eclipse. “We’ve got all the pieces in place; now it’s a waiting game.

We’re ready to roll with the punches.”

Art for All

Outdoor Sculptures on the Rise in Redmond

Artist James Haire posing with sculpture “Short Stack.”

— ASHLEY VOLZ

Once again, art is emerging from the galleries and spilling into the streets.

Bend, as we recently noted, has pieces displayed everywhere from narrow alleys to sizable highway roundabouts. Now it’s Redmond’s turn. The city just installed three of six sculptures slated to debut this summer as part of its “Art Around the Clock” program, begun in 2011.

“AATC is a rotating outdoor public art gallery,” says Jackie Abslag, project coordinator for Redmond’s Community Development Department. “We

currently have 15 pieces on loan to the city—each for two years. At the end of the two years, the Redmond community will vote for their favorite piece.

The winner is purchased by Redmond Committee for Art in Public Places (RCAPP) and then becomes part of Redmond’s permanent public art collection.”

The latest works include Sharon Agnor’s “Renovation” (Glacier & 7th St.), Andrew Hellman’s “Skipper’s Jig” (Deschutes & 5th St.) and James Haire’s “Short Stack” (City Hall). The latter is a memorial to Kaye Eberhard, who was a Redmond teacher for 26 years. Three more works are due in August and September.

“We are pleased by the

overwhelming response from artists throughout the western region and believe it reflects the quality of Redmond’s program,” says Abslag.

The city’s overall public art history goes back to 2006 when Nike’s Phil Knight and wife Penny bought and then donated a pair of sculptures to the city. “Redmond currently owns 20 permanent art pieces,” Abslag says.

“Not to mention numerous paintings throughout the Redmond Airport.”

While the city pays for a part of all this, fundraisers and donations cover the rest. Abslag believes it’s well worth the cost.

“Public art enhances the community and adds value.” SW

Nailed it in the Backcountry?

LITTLE BITES

By Lisa Sipe

Recipes for the trail, and why you can’t trust Pinterest

27

H

ow does freeze-dried chili sound for dinner? After a long day of hiking with a 20 to 40 pound backpack, almost anything sounds good.

Lots of the pre-made backpacking dinners on the market today are pretty tasty, but they can have gassy side effects. One reviewer on REI.com for AlpineAire Black Bart Chili said, “I lay in the sleeping bag trying to sleep but the noxious fumes kept us up all night gasping for air.”

While that’s funny to read, it’s not exactly the experience I want backpacking. When I planned my recent backpacking trip along the Metolious River, I asked my fellow backpackers if they wanted to try some non-dehydrated, freeze-dried food experiments.

Backcountry From Scratch Cinnamon Rolls I’ve spent endless amounts of time scrolling through Pinterest for ideas. To decide what to make for our backpacking experiment, I looked through the pins I’d been saving to my “camping and backpacking” board. I was looking for something sweet for dessert and found a recipe for no-rise cinnamon buns in a pin about setting up a backcountry kitchen. I’ve never actually made cinnamon buns, but hey, why not use my time in the woods to learn? What could go wrong?

The preparation was pretty easy; basically dumping all the ingredients into a sealable food storage bag and squishing it with my fingers until it formed dough.

The recipe said a small ball would form when the dough came together, but no amount of manipulation made this happen. Maybe this wasn’t a big deal. The next step was to remove the dough from the bag and form it into a rectangle using another bag as a clean work surface. The dough was sticking to my hands, but I managed to flatten it into a rectangular-ish shape, sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar and roll it into a log. Cleverly, the recipe called for using dental floss to slice the log into individual rolls — a useful tip even for the home kitchen.

The rolls looked legit and I placed them around the edges of a buttered pan.

It was time to place them on the camp stove and let them cook for 10 minutes. As the pan heated, the aroma of cinnamon and warm dough filled the air— but the delightful aroma didn’t last long before it turned into the acrid smell of something burning. Damn! The white gas-fueled WhisperLite stove was set at the lowest temperature. Amy suggested we move it to her single burner propane stove because it might provide gentler heat. After a few minutes the cinnamon rolls began burning again. The only option was to keep removing the pan from the heat every couple of minutes to keep the temperature down. At the same time, I flipped the rolls. The recipe said our dessert would be done in 15 minutes. Thirty minutes later the dough was still raw in the center, but everything else was so burned it was time to throw in the towel. Chock this one up to a Pinterest fail!

Luckily, one of our experiments worked—and maybe there’s a reason the cinnamon roll recipe is an illustration and not a photo. I believe backcountry cinnamon rolls are a myth. Can anyone prove me wrong? SW

Quick Grocery Store Backpacking Meal Amy, co-owner of Bend’s Sunny Yoga Kitchen, was in charge of dinner.

She set out to recreate the MaryJanesFarms Lentils, Rice & Indian Spice backpacking meal from items you can easily find in the grocery store, combining a package of Mediterranean curry couscous and ready-toheat spelt, green lentils and long grain brown rice with Tasty Bite Thai vegetable curry. The preparation was very simple. After adding hot water to the couscous, the other items only needed to be heated. She whipped up dinner in minutes and served it with crispy, whole wheat sesame crackers for texture. I was surprised at how flavorful the dish was. The vegetable curry had some heat and made the dish way more exciting than I expected. The original backpacking meal didn’t have nearly as much spice. By using grocery store ingredients, Amy also saved some cash.

The backpacking meal is $8 per serving; Amy’s re-creation was $2.45 per serving. The only downside was that we had to clean the cooking pot. The backpacking meal heats in its own bag.

New Seasonal Release from Crater Lake Spirits Crater Lake Spirits embraced berry season by taking blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries from local Oregon farms and soaking them in vodka for a month. They bottled that sweet berry infusion to create Northwest Berry Vodka, their latest seasonal release. New this year was the addition of strawberries, so if you tasted it last year you’ll notice this batch has a more intense berry flavor. You can find bottles at Bendstillery and the Crater Lake Tasting Room starting this week. Drink the deep purple hued vodka straight up or have some fun by making berry lemon drops, berry spritzers and berry Moscow mules.

73rd Annual Buckaroo Breakfast

Since 1944, Central Oregonians have enjoyed a scrumptious firecooked meal at the Buckaroo Breakfast on the Sunday morning of the Deschutes County Fair.

Breakfast is served up with live music and includes pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, fresh made hash browns and pan bread. The experience is just as warm and friendly as it was in 1944; the only thing that’s really changed is the price. Breakfast was 75 cents back then, but the price is still reasonable: $8 for adults, $5 for children and kids under five eat free. Grab your cowboy hat and show up hungry—last year they served 1,700 people with the help of 200 volunteers.

COME LET US

THANK YOU, THE READERS FOR 20 GREAT YEARS AT

THE SOURCE WEEKLY ANNIVERSARY PARTY

AUGUST 16 / CRUX / 7:30

MUSIC BY The whole town came out for Kobold’s grand opening last weekend.

Y

ear after year, Redmond is striking more of its own presence in Central Oregon, becoming much more than simply “not Bend.” That’s the case with the region’s favorite drink as well, to the point that one can now do a mile-long walking tour and visit three fine beer locations in the space of an afternoon without having to go anywhere near a driver’s seat.

There’s no reason not to start in the middle of town, which still retains the sort of small-town feel that downtown Bend is a bit too big and bustling to retain. This, despite having Wild Ride Brew right inside of it. The brewery, which celebrated its third birthday back in May, is bustling with people each day of the week in summer, basking in the sun and checking out the four food trucks in front.

“The Hopperhead IPA and Nut Crusher [peanut butter-flavored porter] are our bestsellers,” bartender Shane Sturza said. “We had to make Nut Crusher an all-year beer because the demand for it is crazy—we do two batches of it a week, even when it’s hot like this.” (Wild Ride’s no two-trick pony, though; try the Tarty to the Party apricot sour ale for another summery must-have.)

About two blocks down, in a much smaller building, Kobold Brewing held the grand opening for its Vault Taproom last weekend. Founder and head brewer Steve Anderson was also his own head contractor for this taproom, renovating an old SW 6th Street

storefront and the adjacent open space to create a neat little pub and outdoor beer garden, with Westside Taco providing food outside. The Vault, which is open daily, debuts with seven Kobold beers—including a special version of the Lawful Evil stout aged in Oregon Spirit Distillers bourbon barrels—and a dozen or so other beers, ciders and so on available.

“I’ve been putting in a lot of hours over the past few weeks getting it all ready,” Anderson said, “having lunch at the Wild Ride in between. Now that we’re open I’ll catch up on sleep for a bit, but I have a lot of things aging in barrels right now, and it won’t be too long before it’ll be the perfect season for them again.”

After loading up on tacos and the Screeching Blonde summer ale at the Vault, there are a few options nearby—the Dawg House II heartier pub fare, the Tumble Inn Tavern for the full dive experience. But walk a bit further out of downtown to discover Rimrock Taphouse, the largest taphouse in the city. The DigitalPour menu at rimrocktaphouse.com shows 52 different varieties, from the old standbys including RPM and Hop Slice to a few uncommon exotics. Top among them: the Pirate Rum Barrel Coconut Stout, a beer from Santiam Brewing in Salem that does exactly what it says on the label—perfect for those summer days when a little Caribbean flair is in order.

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

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

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 LITTLE HOURS: This is a gut busting

comedy about a trio of nuns in the 14th century who are horny, mean, gleefully profane and possibly heretics. So far this is easily the funniest comedy of the year and is perfect for those looking to be the tiniest bit offended. 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 VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS: Critics can't seem to agree

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

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

DUNKIRK: Christopher Nolan sets his sights on

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES:

THE EMOJI MOVIE: There's not supposed to be

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

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

any bad ideas for movies, but this one might prove that little chestnut wrong. The Lego Movie sounded dumb before it came out and that movie is a damn delight, so maybe all we need to...wait...Patrick Stewart is the voice of the Poop Emoji? That is bad and they should feel bad. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

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.

Food Evolution taks on the GMO debate

By Jared Rasic

SC

out all the papayas on the island. A scientist genetically modified the papaya, naming it the “Rainbow Papaya” and saved the entire industry across the state. So when the ban eventually passes, the Rainbow Papaya is exempted from the ban, even as GMO research and companies are shut down across the islands.

This seems incredibly hypocritical.

I understand wanting to know exactly what’s in the food you eat, but if genetic modification has proven to save the papaya, then couldn’t it possibly save a different fruit or vegetable? The leaders in Hawaii seem to be saying, “All GMOs are bad and organic is the only way to go...except for this papaya.

Don’t look at the papaya.”

I’ve been anti-GMO for years. I quit eating Totino’s pizza or consuming anything from Nestle as soon as I learned Monsanto bought the company (yes, my white privilege is showing), so this documentary blew my mind.

The scientific data the film brings forth makes a lot of the anti-GMO sentiment seem like fear mongering and raises interesting questions.

He looks like he had a few too many Totino’s pizzas.

“Food Evolution” does something that only the very best documentaries do: it made me want to start researching things on my own and getting to the bottom of conflicting information.

The fact that Neil deGrasse Tyson narrates the doc also gives it credibility that it might not have had without him—even with all the data it includes.

“Food Evolution” may not change minds or get GMO-averse people to start doing their own research. The film might just be preaching to the choir. Activists will call the movie corporate propaganda and the human

tendency to only accept information that confirms a previous bias might keep this movie on the fringes of public debate. But even if that’s all it does, that might be enough. If a documentary on such a divisive topic creates discussion or debate, then it has, at least partially, done its job.

When a mind is opened, it can lead to beautiful things. SW Food Evolution

Blonde, James Blonde

Le Carre meets Le Chiffre in this spy-stravaganza

By Jared Rasic

I

’ve spent the last month or two rewatching every single Bond movie ever made. There are three things Bond does in every one of his movies: 1) He fights bad guys. 2) He drinks a martini because he’s a fancy dandy and 3) he very aggressively finds someone to have sex with until he gets what he wants, then he bounces and finds the “Main Bond Girl,” and then the original girl is murdered horribly for her connection to Bond. I mean, shit, the girl in “Moonraker” gets torn apart by dogs for helping Bond. He rapes Pussy Galore and she becomes a good guy afterward.

My point is, screw James Bond, Ian Fleming and the time in history when all that was OK. “Atomic Blonde” deconstructs that sexist, misogynistic series of movies (even Daniel Craig creeps up on a sex slave in a shower) and creates a female spy that fights like “John Wick,” drinks like Lucille Bluth and bangs whoever the hell she wants to...unapologetically.

The convoluted plot has Charlize Theron’s MI6 agent, Lorraine Broughton, heading to Berlin in order to find the list: a piece of microfilm hidden

in a watch that has the names of all the spies in the Soviet Union. This is also the plot of “Skyfall.” Like, exactly. Broughton teams up with David Percival, a batshit crazy British agent who’s been in Berlin for a decade and has basically gone feral. Played by a perfectly cast James McAvoy, Percival is such an enigma that as the film veers into double crosses, triple crosses and several giant twists, all you can do is admire the charisma on display and smile.

Not everything is that great. The pacing is scattershot, at best, with the film bouncing between bone crunching and perfectly choreographed fight scenes to long, drawn-out monologues of exposition. There’s really a lot of plot for a movie that didn’t need it.

Director David Leitch is one half of the team that made “John Wick,” (the other half, Chad Stahelski, stayed with the franchise and made “John Wick 2”) so he knows something about burying the audience in plot.

The other thing that drove me nuts about “Atomic Blonde” is the music.

The film takes place in 1989, right before the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

They will kill you and look fantastic doing it.

Every single needle drop throughout the entire film is just as predictable as you’re imagining. An action scene set to “99 Luftballoons,” the finale to “Under Pressure,” a car chase to “I Ran (so Far Away) and “London Calling” over the closing credits. Every one of these choices is so obvious and has been used in a period film in the exact same way before. How about a car chase to “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman or a slow motion gun fight to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer?”

“Atomic Blonde” is fun and goofy, but takes itself very seriously. The tone is more similar to the “Bourne”

films than I was expecting, and also about 30 minutes too long, but it doesn’t really matter because Theron is a force of nature. You can’t take your eyes off her and she deserves to get a “John Wick-esque” franchise out of this. Bond is a dinosaur and “Atomic Blonde” the meteor that should smash him to dust. SW Atomic Blonde

oing into “Food Evolution,” I thought I had an idea what the documentary was going to be like, based on the name. Documentaries about food sustainability, organic farming, biodiversity and eating healthy are popular right now, and with Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Sequel” a few weeks from release, I figured this would be another crunchy look at how Americans can better prepare themselves for a possibly non-plentiful future.

I was way off. “Food Evolution” is actually a look at GMOs, coming from a place of respect for science as opposed to fear of diving too deeply into such a hot-button topic. A big chunk of the film involves scientists from across the country taking a deep breath and asking Americans specifically what they’re afraid of when it comes to genetically modified foods.

A fascinating section of the film looks at a county government in Hawaii fighting to ban genetically modified crops on the Big Island. A few years prior, a new strain of a virus got into Hawaii’s papaya population and within three years basically wiped

GO HERE

of Mt. Jefferson means unprecedented views for eclipse viewing

CASCADE LAKES RELAY

A fortunate (and wealthy) few can view the eclipse from the lofty slopes of Mt. Jefferson.

as the Tribes," wrote Alyssa Macy, chief operations officer of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs ,in a July 26 statement. "As such, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs has made available one permit for exclusive access to Mt. Jefferson to view this historic celestial event through a partnership with Big Mountain Heli Tours. This is the first time in the history of the Tribes that this exclusive access has been granted."

“I feel so honored that they are giving us this permit,” Douglas expressed.

“The tribal council is saying, ‘We trust you to treat this mountain the way it deserves.’”

Big Mountain Heli Tours specializes in low footprint tourism, which follows Leave No Trace guidelines, while still allowing people to see places that might otherwise be unexplored.

Because preserving the landscape is important to their mission, part of the permit requires them to come back after the eclipse and clean up the area, removing garbage, including removing any human waste left by climbers, and taking apart rock rings that people made to contain fires. “We want

to leave the mountain better than we found it,” Douglas explained.

Its partner, Leading Edge Aviation, also routinely works with the Forest Service to help mitigate forest fires, like the one currently burning on Mt. Jefferson, Douglas says. (As for that fire, Douglas hopes it won't be a factor Aug. 21, as officials project it will be contained within a few days.)

The Warm Springs Indian Reservation is approximately 650,000 acres— mostly inaccessible to people outside of the tribe. There are four areas where people can purchase fishing permits—most are along lakes or parts of the Deschutes.

“Mount Jefferson speaks to you,” Douglas said. “It hits you right in the heart—it’s a special, amazing place.”

Big Mountain Heli Tours still has spaces available, so if you’re interested in being one of those people watching the eclipse from the side of a mountain, contact Douglas at staff@flycascades.com or 541-668-7670. SW Big Mountain Heli Tours FlyCascades.com

RELAY — Wanna race 216 miles amid high altitude, beautiful scenery and summer heat?

Enticing, isn't it, and luckily, you can take all the glory of having run the Cascade Lakes, and split the challenge with 11 of your favorite running partners who can bear the brunt of this grueling, albeit stunning, course. Having grown from 62 teams at its inception to over 300 teams and 3,500 participants, Cascade Lakes Relay is the premiere relay race, capturing the spirit of the Cascade Mountains. A whopping 216-mile course takes teams through the beauty of Central Oregon as groups start the race overnight at Diamond Lake, cross to Silver Lake, through the backs of La Pine and end at Riverbend Park, in Bend. Pegged as being an event truly focused on team spirit and camaraderie, this evokes the Central Oregonian soul. Cross the finish line and enjoy a rockin’ party in downtown Bend at Riverbend Park. // 7am - 9pm. Starting in Diamond Lake and finishing at Riverbend Park in Bend.

Thursday 10 TWILIGHT 5K

FUN RUN — Not intended to be taken too seriously — I mean, this is Bend after all, and beer is a priority — the Twilight 5K run/walk beats the heat and eliminates the scorching summer rays by taking place in the cooler hours of the evening (Read, it’ll be 85 instead of 100). Family-friendly and for all race types and abilities, this is a super fun run with a varied, easy course that culminates in a post-race party with food, brews, live music and of course, Deschutes Brewery Twilight Summer Ale. Once you’ve finished consuming all those calories you just spent running, take in the Bend Brewfest — right across the street at Les Schwab Amphitheater. We did say this was Bend, yeah?

So go ahead and go, “Stone two birds with…. err...wait, how’s that saying go? I think I had too many Twilights in prep for this race. That’s what you’re supposed to do, right? // 7pm. Deschutes Brewery Lawn, 901 Simpson Ave., Bend. SW

n Aug. 21, the vast majority of people in Central Oregon will be staring at the sky, watching the moon move in front of the sun, and seeing dusk hit in the middle of the morning.

Many will still have to go to work, and those who don’t will likely be seeking out the best-possible viewing spot.

However, six lucky people will get to watch the eclipse on the slopes of the second-highest peak in Oregon: Mount Jefferson. Even more rare than the eclipse is the fact that those people will get to view it from the eastern flank, on the side of the mountain owned by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

This is the first permit issued for that area in 138 years.

The trip, chartered and guided by Big Mountain Heli Tours, comes with a steep price tag—$80,000 for the party of six— but 80 percent of the proceeds will benefit the tribes. And the view should be pretty spectacular, even the best in the entire country, according to Patric Douglas, CEO of Big Mountain Heli Tours.

“They will get to enjoy the view, and watch the shadow of the eclipse move across the land and eventually envelope the whole mountain,” described Douglas. He envisions sending a guide/EMT up a day before to set up camp, then bringing clients up the night before the eclipse. This will give them a chance to acclimatize to being at 8,500 feet. As far as camping goes, this trip will be on the "glamping" side of things; the guide will take care of all the provisions and accommodations, Douglas said.

This permit has been a long time in the works. Douglas started talking to the Warm Springs Tribal Council in January about making it happen. Other companies have approached the tribal council about similar permits, or bringing in other kinds of tourism, but all were denied.

Butterflies by the ka-jillions!

Sightings—many sightings—of the California tortoiseshell butterfly

Have a question about the natural world of Central Oregon?

Send your questions to jimnaturalist@gmail.com.

By Jim Anderson supercharge mode and somehow have the ability to lay eggs on the ka-jillions of caterpillars. During the event some 30 years ago, my wife and I were living in Bend, having just returned from Arizona where I was manager of the Ramsey Canyon Preserve.

During that outbreak of the mid’80s, someone told us about seeing tortoiseshell butterflies all over the Tumalo Creek watershed. We packed up our son, Reuben, and went out to Tumalo Falls to take a look. It was astonishing to see that many butterflies filling the air, and to actually be able hear the larvae munching on ceanothus leaves as they defoliated all the bushes.

What was also unbelievable when we returned a short time later was finding uncountable numbers of chrysalids hanging on the bare branches of the ceanothus. We then discovered (by accident) that if we got close to them and stomped our feet they would all begin to shake and clang like tiny bells.

What a show!

We removed 20 chrysalids from the underside of the bare branches, using my pocket-knife to cut the thin, silk pedicle attaching the chrysalis to the branch, and took them home with us to photograph emerging butterflies. However, if my memory serves me correctly, of the 20 chrysalis, eight or nine developed butterflies; bright green parasitic wasps emerged from all the others.

Another facet of an outbreak of this nature is it provides the species enough adult insects in summer to travel far from the “breeding territory” and pioneer new habitat, further increasing the chances of the species to succeed.

During the outbreak of some 30 years back I also recall the California Department of Transportation installing special truck washing equipment near Redding, used to wash smashed butterflies out of the radiators to keep trucks from overheating.

UPS drivers were also having a heck of a time, driving five miles, then having to stop and clean the windshields of their trucks.

The Oregon Birders Online website has been buzzing for weeks with birders sharing the tortoiseshell outbreak, and this one from Barbara and Dan Gleason of Eugene was particularly thoughtful as well as interesting: “Seeing all the posts, I thought I’d add that these massive numbers of butterflies were also in the Clear Lake and McKenzie River areas, too, this past Thursday.

“My granddaughter and I were up there for her first rowboat ride and everywhere we encountered massive numbers of tortoiseshells, to the point it made driving quite hazardous since one couldn’t help but want to avoid killing them, but one could not drive as slowly as one need to accomplish this.

“We were glad to get off the highway and head to the lake where one could drive to allow them to pass by the car.

They were largely not over the lake but were everywhere along the roadsides, especially near water...culverts, outhouses, included!

“Along the edge of the lake when one moved too quickly, they would all take flight and one could hear their wingbeats.

“H

ey, Jim, this is Linda Sears. I’m on the road over to the Valley and from the Hoodoo summit to Belknap Springs there are thousands of orange and black butterflies everywhere! What are they and what’s going on?”

My wife, Sue, listening to the conversation at her computer quickly said, “Oh, boy! It’s another outbreak of California tortoiseshell butterflies!” And so it is!

I believe the current movement of the tortoiseshell butterflies (Nymphalis californica) is not a “migration” as some have remarked, but an “outbreak” linked to population dynamics of some kind or another not thoroughly understood.

About 30 years ago, an outbreak similar to this one took place in Northern California and was seen all the way to Bend. Unless research is carried out annually, it’s probably difficult to really put your finger on this or that cause.

But no matter; it’s astonishing when it takes place.

Saying that, I also believe this remarkable phenomena is tied to nature’s way of ensuring survival of a species. When weather and food plants are in balance, the butterfly’s larvae get what they need to develop the necessary chemicals to successfully metamorphose into adults then mate and lay prodigious numbers of eggs, which in turn hatch—and because of the sheer numbers—defoliate their food plants, which I have a hunch is even good for the plants in some way.

In addition, while this is going on, butterfly parasites also go into

California tortoiseshell butterfly (Nymphalis californica). If you see one today, you’ll likely see a thousand more; these were photographed during the outbreak of 1999 in the Land Trust’s Metolius Preserve.

One of the reasons I’ve enjoyed writing this column at the Source all these years are the phone calls like Linda’s, and emails that come in and alert me to some natural history phenomena taking place somewhere I ain’t. This time it was another astounding outbreak of California tortoiseshell butterflies taking place from the crest of the Cascades all the way to Bend and beyond.

Indeed, it’s a sight to behold when Mother Nature decides to put on a rare show like this one; aren’t we thankful we’re alive and live where we do. SW

My Take on the Housing Group Report

A

growth and lack of available reasonably priced land. Typically, the solution to meeting the demand for affordable housing, particularly starter level homes, would be to build more affordable units that would be smaller in size, but this does not pencil out for developers when land prices are too high. The other side of the coin is getting land available and getting infrastructure in place and paying for it, even though the UGB is expanded.

A recent NAR Housing Pulse survey shows that a majority of Americans (84 percent) believe home ownership to be a solid financial decision. The nationwide survey found that the main reasons people gave for home ownership were building equity and preparing for retirement.

Sixty percent of respondents cited concerns about their ability to buy or rent a home and 44 percent categorize the lack of affordable housing as a problem. The demand is there, but the ability to own a home has been severely hampered by affordability and supply issues not only here in Bend, but nationally. It’s encouraging that our local government and citizens are hard at work on finding solutions.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 31 / August 3, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

s reported in the Source’s news story last week, the Bend 2030 Collaborative Housing Group presented its report to the Bend City Council July 19.

The group issued policy recommendations to encourage affordable housing in Bend to households making between 80 and 175 per cent of area median income, defined as households earning $40,000 to $90,000 per year. Housing affordability and ability to own a home have been important sources of wealth to households, and many of the same concerns cited in this report correspond with a recent National Association of Realtors (NAR) study.

The Bend report identifies problems with affordable housing and offers some solutions. It’s a concise, but well-stated report of issues relevant to all parties in the housing industry, from developers, city planners and consumers, and offers thoughtful recommendations which can be reviewed at bend2030.org.

We all are aware that home prices and rents have increased at a far higher pace than wages, and land prices have also skyrocketed. The fuel behind the high housing costs is increased demand, population

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS To Have And To Mold

My otherwise wonderful husband always leaves his wet towel on the bed (on my side!). I’ve asked him to stop doing this countless times, but I don’t think he’s being passive-aggressive or anything. I think he just spaces out after showering.

How can I get him to remember?

SERVICES

It’s good for a man to have goals, though ideally not one that involves growing a fern out of your comforter.

As you appear to understand, the problem isn’t ill will; it’s “I, Robot.” The first time your husband wondered “Where do I put this wet towel?” — perhaps at age 10 — his brain said, “Easy peasy…just drop it right there on the bed.” Sadly, it seems his superhero bedspread didn’t pipe up: “Superman’s got a ton to do today, and flying your wet towel over to the hamper is not on his agenda.”

Our brain is an efficiency expert. Figuring things out the first time around (a la “what should I do with this towel?”) takes a bunch of energy. But, as neuroscientist Donald Hebb pointed out (in somewhat more neuroscientific terms), as you do an action over and over, your brain goes, “Oh, that again.” The trigger for the action — in this case, approaching the bed (while in a towel, ready to get dressed) — becomes automatic. Automatic means there’s no stopping to muse, “Wait! I have a wife now, and she’s threatening to Saran Wrap the bed.” There’s only the old famil-

iar launch code: “Bed!” — cueing “Drop wet towel here!”

This automation thing — with thinking removed from the equation — is the reason nagging or even asking nicely before or after the fact is so often useless in changing behavior. You need to break in to the automatic sequence as it’s in progress (when he gets to the bed), kind of like an air traffic controller coming in over the plane’s intercom — “Attention Southwest two-twoniner…”

Interrupting the trigger sequence allows you to send a yoo-hoo to areas of his prefrontal cortex, the brain’s department of rational thought — asking them to kindly wake the hell up and take over from the basal ganglia and other parts of the brain’s department of automation.

No, I’m not suggesting you stand guard by the bed like one of those decorative architectural lions, waiting for wet towel time. And hiring one of those street-corner sign spinners would Amy Alkon probably be both impractical and a little creepy.

To grab your husband’s attention in a positive way, I suggest collecting cartoons (like one of my faves, “Bizarro,” by Dan Piraro) and leaving one marked “Towel alert! xo” on the area of the bed he turns into terrycloth swampland. (Pair it with a battery-operated flashing light if he ends up dropping his towel on top of it.) The cartoon should break him out of his auto-daze, reminding him to return the wet towel to its ancestral home, Ye Olde Towel Rack. (If there is something missing for the two of you in bed, it probably isn’t mildew.)

ASTROLOGY

ing anything from my efforts to redeem astrology’s reputation. Although some misinformed people regard my chosen field as a superstitious pseudo-science, I say it’s an imaginative art form that helps us identify and transform our subconscious patterns.

So the wise answer to my earlier question is that the imminent lunar eclipse is neither bad luck nor good luck. Rather, it tells you that have more power than usual to: 1. tame and manage the disruptive and destructive aspects of your instinctual nature; 2. make progress in dissolving your old conditioning; 3. become more skilled at mothering yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): It has almost

39 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 31 / August 3, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Robert De Niro once observed that most people devote more energy to concealing their emotions and longings than to revealing them. Is that true about you? If so, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to hide less of yourself and express more. There’ll be relatively little hell to pay as a result, and you’ll get a boost of vitality. Don’t go overboard, though. I’m not suggesting that you unveil every last one of your feelings and yearnings to everyone — just to those you trust. Most importantly, I hope you will unveil all your feelings and yearnings to yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): August

become a tradition: Each year at about this time, you seem to enjoy scaring the hell out of yourself and often the heaven, too. These self-inflicted shocks have often had a beneficial side effect. They have served as rousing prompts for you to re-imagine the future.

They have motivated and mobilized you. So yes, there has been an apparent method in your madness — an upside to the uproar. What should we expect this time, my dear? A field trip to a crack house or a meth lab?

Some fun and games in a pit of snakes? An excursion to the land of bad memories? I suggest something less melodramatic. How about, for example, a frolic with unruly allies in a future paradise that’s still a bit unorganized?

is Good Hard Labor Month for you Pisceans.

It’s one of those rare times when a smart version of workaholic behavior might actually make sense. Why? First of all, it could ultimately lead to a pay raise or new perks. Secondly, it may bring to light certain truths about your job that you’ve been unconscious of. Third, it could awaken you to the fact that you haven’t been trying as hard as you could to fulfill one of your long-term dreams; it might expand your capacity to devote yourself passionately to the epic tasks that matter most. For your homework, please meditate on this thought: Summoning your peak effort in the little things will mobilize your peak effort for the Big Thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Before grapes be-

opinion, your life in the coming days should draw inspiration from the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia, a six-day bout of revelry that encouraged everyone to indulge in pleasure, speak freely, and give gifts. Your imminent future could (and I believe should) also have resemblances to the yearly Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena, which features a farcical cavalcade of lunatics, like the Shopping Cart Drill Team, The Radioactive Chicken Heads, the Army of Toy Soldiers, and the Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap Team. In other words, Aries, it’s an excellent time to set aside your dignity and put an emphasis on having uninhibited fun; to amuse yourself to the max as you experiment on the frontiers of self-expression; to be the person you would be if you had nothing to lose.

come wine, they have to be cleaned. Then crushed.

Then macerated and pressed. The next phase is fermentation, followed by filtering. The aging process, which brings the grapes’ transformation to completion, requires more time than the other steps. At the end, there’s one more stage: putting the wine in bottles. I’d like to compare the grapes’ evolution to the story of your life since your last birthday. You are nearing the end of the aging phase. When that’s finished, I hope you put great care into the bottling.

It’s as important as the other steps.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you gearing up to promote yourself and your services? In my astrological opinion, you should be. If so, you could put the following testimonial from me in your résumé or advertisement: “[place your name here] is a poised overseer of nerve-wracking transitions and a canny scout who is skilled at tracking down scarce resources. He/she can help you acquire the information and enhancements you don’t quite have the power to get by yourself. When conditions are murky or perplexing, this plucky soul is enterprising and inventive.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your eyes are more powerful than you realize. If you were standing on a mountaintop under a cloudless night sky with no moon, you could see a fire burning 50 miles away. Your imagination is also capable of feats that might surprise you. It can, for example, provide you with an expansive and objective view of your entire life history. I advise you to seek that boost now. Ask your imagination to give you a prolonged look at the big picture of where you have been and where you are going. I think it’s essential to your discovery of the key to the next chapter of your life story.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love is your gritty but sacred duty. It’s your prickly prod and your expansive riddle, you’re curious joy and your demanding teacher. I’m talking about the whole gamut, Capricorn — from messy personal romantic love to lucid unconditional spiritual love; from asking smartly for what you desire to gratefully giving more than you thought you had. Can you handle this much sweet, dark mystery? Can you grow your intimacy skills fast enough to keep up with the interesting challenges? I think you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s an eclipse of the moon coming up in the sign of Aquarius. Will it bring bad luck or good luck? Ha! That’s a trick question. I threw it in to see if you have been learn-

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time to Reinvent the Wheel and Rediscover Fire, Taurus. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wasting your time unless you return to the root of all your Big Questions. Every important task will mandate you to consult your heart’s primal intelligence. So don’t mess around with trivial pleasures or transitory frustrations that won’t mean anything to you a year from now. Be a mature wild child in service to the core of your creative powers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Writing in “The Futurist” magazine, Christopher Wolf says that the tradition of eating three hearty meals per day is fading and will eventually disappear. “Grazing” will be the operative term for how we get our fill, similar to the method used by cavemen and cavewomen. The first snack after we awaken, Wolf suggests, might be called “daystart.” The ensuing four could be dubbed “pulsebreak,” “humpmunch,” “holdmeal” and “evesnack.” In light of your current astrological omens, Gemini, I endorse a comparable approach to everything you do: not a few big doses, but rather frequent smaller doses; not intense cramming but casual browsing; not sprawling heroic epics but a series of amusing short stories.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The RIKEN Institute in Japan experiments with using ion beams to enhance plant growth. In one notable case, they created a new breed of cherry tree that blossoms four times a year and produces triple the amount of flowers. The blooms last longer, too, and the trees thrive under a wider span of temperatures. In the next eleven months, Cancerian, you won’t need to be flooded with ion beams to experience a similar phenomenon. I expect that your power to bloom and flourish will be far stronger than usual.

regon offers an amazing array of three things: coffee, cannabis and a sense of smugness that is palatable when bikes, beards or microbrews are being discussed. (“It’s called “Fixed Gear Red Whisker Ale,” and it’s the best beer ever made by anyone, anywhere.“) I don’t enjoy biking, rarely drink, and as I can only manage to “grow” a “beard” that looks like someone shook a pillowcase of cat hair over my Gorilla Glue-slathered lower face, that leaves me with my old friends: coffee and cannabis. It’s a popular combo, to the extent that a cup of coffee and well rolled joint or bowl packed fat has been known as a “NW Speedball” for decades. Don’t try the other kind of speedball, kids and/or adults.

So I was curious, but well behaved, when a sizeable box of beverages arrived recently, comprised of bottles of infused waters and cold brew coffees. And by infused, I mean there is 5mg of THC or CBD in each 16-ounce bottle.

The company that produces these “Wacky Waters” and “Chronic Coffees” (already own the domains, move along) is level+, which translates to “level up,” Mensa. They’ve partnered with Northwest favorites and homegrown-small-business-made-good, Coava Coffee Roasters, who provide a damn fine cold brew for this undertaking. It’s the first time their cold brew has been made available outside their cafes, where I can often be found, gleefully handing over my money. Disclosure: I’m fully down with their cold brews.

The product line consists of five beverages. Those seeking CBD can choose from a Lemon-Ginger Water or Cold Brew, and THC lovers have Watermelon/Mint or Grapefruit waters, or a Cold Brew offering. Each bottle is well designed and traveled well during a couple busy days of meetings, during which I drank the complete product line in place of the normal cold brews and water diet I

have adapted as of late.

I emailed Meghan Pruitt, partner and co-founder of level+. She said: “Cannabis used is of the highest quality, and whole plant extracts from that is what’s added to all the drinks. We use a clear, locally sourced distillate, so there’s no aftertaste. And because we’ve made the cannabis water soluble, activation time is pretty quick at 20-30 minutes.”

She told me all level+ products are micro-dosed, with the belief that micro-doing is the future of cannabis edibles. She cited the difficulty in evenly dividing a gummy bear— exactly how much THC is in the head again?—and explained that they wanted a responsible dosed amount that lets the user control their experience.

“We wanted to incorporate cannabis into a beverage we were already consuming daily. Everyone drinks water and coffee, we thought, why can’t this be cannabis infused?” (But when I ask for an extra shot of THC from my barista, I’m the “creepy weed guy with his creepy weed drink order” again. F-U, Dunkin’ Donuts.)

So, how did they work out for me over those two days?

Good, but mind that it is a "microdose" serving per bottle, and I am what we can charitably call, while shaking our collective heads in disappointment with pursed lips, a "macro dose" inclined consumer. This makes me a very expensive date if I am going down the strictly edibles path.

The manic edge that comes from two 16-ounce cold brews a day in place of food (who knew?) was slightly softened by the THC versions. I generally don’t feel a discernable effect from edible CBD, but these versions tasted good.

For those with lower tolerances/limited experience, these would be a great introduction.
