OPINION Letters

In our July 27 Smoke Signals column, Kim McCohan was identified as the owner of Bend Pet Express. Julie Hunter is the owner, and McCohan is a senior manager.

We regret the errors.

IN RESPONSE: BIKE ISSUE LETTER (7/27) While I do agree with KarenLynn on many issues I would like to comment on one issue.

This is the second letter printed in the Source over the last year or so regarding the issue of vehicles veering from cyclists. The previous letter pretty much stated, “Do you think I am an idiot and cannot ride in a straight line?” I have been cycling for 40 years and have always appreciated vehicles that either remain behind me or pass with a wide margin, just in case something unexpected happens. I will always do a thank-you wave while uttering obscenities to those vehicles who speed pass me with a narrow margin. I would hate to discourage anyone from veering a half lane or more from a cyclist or at least as much room as safety allows. I could be wrong but I think most vehicles do not want to cause a head on crash with an oncoming car and probably take this into consideration while passing a cyclist.

Case in point: Several months ago my husband was driving a dump truck on Johnson Road in Tumalo. He remained behind the cyclist due to a narrow road and blind corners. Suddenly the left pedal broke off the bike and the cyclist veered into the lane. Whether it be a bike malfunction, a yellow jacket smacking you in the face or a medical event, it is my hope that vehicles give cyclists as much room as possible or remain behind them until it is safe to pass with a wide margin. Thanks for sharing the road!

—Chris Evensen

OSU PARKING/BEND PARK AND REC LOT Thank you OSU! Thank you for kicking the parking problem can down the road to the willing foil, Bend Parks and Recreation. It will be very nice to fix up the dilapidated former Mt Bachelor park and ride lot, which was allowed to degrade by Bend Parks and Rec. But OSU has composed a temporary fix for a long-term problem in the making. A good long-term solution would be to build not one, not two, but three multi story parking garages on their campus site; with more in the future if demanded. OSU just needs to own up to the long-term solutions. Traffic is already a river on Century Drive, summer and winter.

Add in bicycles and pedestrians along a main road that is not very inviting to those modes of transportation. So let us see some really positive action toward a solution from OSU.

It’s one thing to tell a little white lie to get an extra ticket for the free concert for all to enjoy but it’s another when people take a HUGE advantage of this and make a profit out of it. I personally have witnessed this and am disgusted that people do this and for something for all to be able to enjoy cannot because someone has to take this away by actually taking more than enough for themselves. Which then there is no more for anyone else. These people maybe don’t realize this but it is considered is the act of reselling tickets for admission to events. Tickets are bought from licensed sellers and are then sold for a price determined by the individual or company in possession of the tickets. Selling a ticket on the street is illegal. I would like to say to those people, thanks for ruining it for so many that would of liked the chance to see their favorite group and now they would have to pay for them and if they cannot afford your price I guess they don’t get to enjoy the FREE concert then.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PASSING MEANINGFUL CLIMATE POLICY IN BEND Kudos to the Source for its recent articles highlighting Bend’s challenges, such as affordable housing, open urban “green” space, transportation, roads, waste, tourism…They reinforce the current City, community and Council discussion over passing meaningful climate policy and what it will mean to the “livability” of Bend as it grows from over 80,000 to over 100,000 Bendites in a matter of years.

Meaningful climate policy must include city and community greenhouse gas/carbon reductions targets. It must have clear timetables for developing climate action plans for both the city and community. And, it must have a comprehensive and transparent cost/benefit analysis process.

The proposed process directs that the future plans developed and the initiatives recommended by a community-based steering committee, in collaboration with the City and through robust public dialogue, be based on cost/benefit assessments of their social, economic and environmental impacts on the City and the community.

Hence, the future carbon-reduction planning for efficient energy, water, building, land use, transportation, waste, consumption and local food policies…will assess and balance the “triple bottom-line” of livability, costs and prioritizing the options with what our City and community can do.

Meaningful climate policy will help address our challenges as connected issues, not isolated ones. It will change the planning culture and guarantee that Bend can grow into a city that cared enough to look down the road to protect the future of our children and grandchildren. Please contact your City Councilors at council@bendoregon.gov to ask them to

SHOWING UP FOR RACIAL JUSTICE IN CENTRAL OREGON Dear Source Weekly, Huge thanks for including resources for your white readers interested in racial justice in the July 13th issue.

Black Lives Matter doesn’t mean other lives don’t. Like people who say ‘Save the Rainforests’ aren’t saying ‘Screw all other types of forests.'

I have never been stopped by the police and thrown in a psych ward for 8 days for driving a car that is “too nice” for me to be driving. I’ve never been followed around a store by security simply because of the color of my skin. I don’t have to sit my son down and talk to him about how to stay alive around people who hate him for no reason other than fear and ignorance.

To deny the truth of these experiences because they make me uncomfortable would be to place my comfort above the safety of others, and I cannot do that.

A ProPublica report found that from 2010 to 2012, black men between the ages of 15 and 19 were killed by police at a rate of 31.17 per million, while white men in the same age range were killed at a rate of 1.47 per million. The #BlackLivesMatter movement arose because of these statistics, which have been illustrated by the deaths of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Freddie Gray, Mike Brown, Eric Garner—the list goes on and on.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Lisa—It’s not easy to bare your white privilege for all to see, and to encourage others to do the same. We applaud you for your bravery in doing so and we’d like to treat you to a cup of coffee on us. Stop by the Source office to pick up a gift card to Palate.

What does Central Oregon do best?

I

t’s hard to open a travel, lifestyle, or outdoor magazine lately without seeing Bend on a “Best” list. This year alone, the accolades for Bend include USA Today’s list of the nation’s top 10 ski towns, Men’s Health’s suggestions for “6 Unforgettable Adventure Vacations to Take in 2016,” Travel + Leisure’s roundup of “Best Winter Getaways from Portland,” and Golf Advisor’s “Top Ten US Value Destinations” for golf.

The kudos are not limited to Bend.

Sunriver Resort made Golf Digest’s Top 10 Destinations for Family Golf Trips. BIKE Magazine featured Central Oregon’s mountain-biking trails almost exclusively in its 100-page Bible of Bike Tests Issue. Pronghorn, Crosswater, and Tetherow all made Golf Digest’s list of “100 Greatest Public Courses 2015-2016.”

Being showered constantly in compliments feels fantastic, but we have to wonder if all the shimmery accolades are blurring our vision. The unrelenting praise by ourselves and others ignores the fact that Bend was recently rated 16th in an analysis of Oregon’s most successful cities, based on poverty levels, median household income, and unemployment rate. We haven’t won the state’s “Best Tasting Water” designation since 2012. We don’t actually get 300 days of sunshine per year.

And the Mirror Pond political debacle certainly isn’t going to fix itself.

We’d like to believe that our region could be known for something more substantive than golfing, mountain biking, and beer.

According to Roger Lee, Executive Director of Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) we already are. He touts the region’s ability to “play well together,” describing the collaborative nature of local cities, counties and organizations as “... less territorial and less parochial than their counterparts in other parts of Oregon and the nation.” He explains, “The tri-county region has partnerships around economic development (EDCO), community development and transit (COIC), education support (High Desert ESD), health care (St. Charles), public transportation (COACT) and a host of other things.

In public works, counties share equipment with cities and vice-versa. All this seems rather intuitive and common-sense, but it is remarkable how unique this cooperation can be among jurisdictions that compete for public funding, jobs and private investment.”

Lee points out a few more areas where the region excels, including commercial air service recruitment, composite aircraft technology, Search Engine Optimization, pharmaceuticals research, fuel cell technology, entrepreneurship, musical instrument manufacturing and, of course, beer. He says, “We sometimes forget that right here in little ol’ Bend that Deschutes Brewery is consistently one of the top 10 craft brewers in the nation.”

So while we continue to strive to diversify the things we do best, let’s raise a pint and enjoy being in a fabulous place: right here, right now. SW

NEWS Climate Change

Discussion Gets Heated

Bend City Council to continue fine-tuning climate action plan

A

t last week’s City Council meeting, Mayor Jim Clinton asked his fellow council members, “Do you think city government facilities and operations should have a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?” They all said yes. Then he asked, “Do you think the community, at large, should have a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emission?” The answer was again yes, but with concerns raised by council member Victor Chudowsky that led to a heated exchange between Chudowsky and councilor Barb Campbell.

Chudowsky suggested that the city focus on specific actions rather than goals that may not be achievable due to circumstances that the city can’t control, including economic fluctua-

, N.D. believes a majority of the council wants to extend the same goals community wide and he expects that discussion to occur at the next Council meeting, slated for Sept. 7. He says extending the 40/70 reduction goals is in keeping with the Paris Climate Change Agreement negotiated by 195 nations and adopted by consensus on Dec. 12, 2015.

The city resolution under consideration addresses the private sector.

“Community wide (including businesses, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and individuals that live and/or work in Bend) fossil fuel reduction targets will be set through a collaborative process.”

Fossil fuel usage from 2010, or more recent years, will be used to establish a

achieve these goals by 2030 and 2050,” he suggested.

The Council also agreed that a steering committee should be established in the 2017 budget cycle that would be staffed by a member of the City Manager’s office. The Climate Action Steering Committee would be composed of 11 members from business, environmental agencies, local government, and institutions like OSU Cascades. At least one member will be 18 years old or younger at the time of initial appointment. The steering committee would help the city develop the overall city climate action plan for city operations and facilities. It would also provide the city with guidance and advice on whether to establish and

tions that consume more fossil fuels when the economy is hot and less when it is not.

“Rather than focusing on community goals and percentage reductions, focus on actually doing things,” he suggested.

“I don’t understand what you are saying,” Campbell responded, and charged, “You don’t want to have a plan.”

Chudowsky replied, “You are putting words in my mouth.”

The city’s draft resolution for its climate action plan states: “By the year 2030 the city will make all City of Bend owned facilities and city operations carbon neutral, defined as zero net emissions of greenhouse gases.”

The resolution also states that by 2030, “The City of Bend organization will reduce its fossil fuel use by 40 ­percent and 70 percent by 2050.”

The council stopped short of suggesting those same standards be extended to the private sector, but Mayor Clinton told the Source Weekly that he

baseline for setting community-wide targets. Timelines would mirror City of Bend government targets. Mayor Clinton says nearly 200 businesses in Bend have signed on in support of the resolution.

Councilor Chudowsky, who says he will not run for re-election, also expressed concerns that a climate action plan should not address personal behavior such as food consumption and diet. Councilor Doug Knight responded, “This resolution in no way contemplates dietary direction.

We’re not going to tell people what to eat, how to wash their clothes or flush their toilets.” Knight said the plan is an extension of what Bend represents.

Mayor Clinton labels Chudowsky’s concerns as “strawman arguments.”

The Council also debated using softer language for its 2030 and 2050 goals.

Rather than stating that the city will achieve a 40 percent reduction by 2030 and a 70 percent reduction of fossil fuels by 2050, Knight suggested less rigid language. “We will seek to

adopt community and business targets for reduction of fossil fuels, including what those targets should be and how they should be implemented.

Councilor Campbell suggested that the city’s climate action plan is “The patriotic thing to do,” and follows the Paris Accords on climate change.

Mayor Clinton agreed. “We’re just joining the rest of the world to reduce carbon fossil fuels. We’re going to be part of the leadership and do our part as a city.” Addressing those who deny climate change, Clinton says, “There is plenty to worry about. Deniers shouldn’t be so confident they are right. What if they aren’t?” Using Bend as an example, Clinton told the Source Weekly that, “Bend is more vulnerable than other cities. We need snow and that won’t happen if the climate continues to warm.” SW

(Call Peter Gutowsky, Deschutes County Planning Manager, at 541-385-1709 for more information.)

City Council Race Draws New Candidates Four of Bend’s seven City Council seats are up for grabs in November, and several candidates have tossed their hats in the ring. Ron Boozell and Justin Livingston have filed for seat 1, which is currently held by Victor Chudowsky, who has announced he will not run for re-election. Douglas Knight has filed for re-election to seat 2 and will face Bill Moseley as an opponent. Current Mayor Jim Clinton has not announced if he will attempt to retain seat 4, for which Bruce Abernethy has filed. Mayor pro-tem Sally Russell is hoping to hold on to seat 3 and would like to be chosen mayor by her colleagues, if re-elected. So far, she has no opposition.

Seats 5, 6, and 7 are held by Nathan Boddie, Casey Roats, and Barb Campbell, respectively. These seats are not up for re-election this fall. Bend’s City Council positions are non-partisan, and councilors are elected to four year terms. SW

Today, there isn’t the same impending crisis. Despite how it might feel, Bend’s infrastructure is holding up to growth, according to city planners. That’s in part because developers are smarter about where they choose to build.

These days, Bend is growing at two or three percent annually and the population is 81,000 to 87,000, depending on who does the counting.

By the late 1990s and early 2000s, the city was growing at an incredible pace, regularly landing near the top of America’s fastest growing communities. From 2000 to 2010, despite a dampening recession, the population increased 50 percent to 76,640.

That’s not in the cards. There’ll be no moratorium on construction or growth for a number of reasons, primarily because, according to the people who track such things, Bend has a reasonable growth rate right now.

Even with only a year under his belt, he hears the complaints and feels the squeeze.

“I can almost tell how long you’ve lived here by the issues you raise,” he said. “I was surprised at how accessible things were over the winter. I was stoked not having to wait in lines. ‘Bend doesn’t have a tourism problem,’ I thought.

end feels like it is bursting at the seams this summer with crowds filling the streets, trails, restaurants and shops. A record-breaking summer tourism season is partly the cause, but the fact is that more people move here every day to make our fair city their new home.

ensure people keep coming.

“It’s a free country. People can move and live where they want. We have a high demand of folks wanting to live here,” he said.

If Bend stopped building new housing to keep people from coming, the city would run into other problems, including skyrocketing rents and home prices.

THREE PERCENT GROWTH Planners, builders, economic development officials and politicians say the trick is maintaining a reasonable growth rate that the city can keep up with.

Few people want to return to the crazy, out-of-control building and population increases of a decade ago; not even the builders.

Those contacted for this story all, in their own ways, said they thought Bend is in a sweet spot right now at about three percent growth.

“We prefer something in a three to four percent growth range on average,” said EDCO’s Lee, referring to GDP and employment growth. “It’s easier to plan for business when you’ve got a steady course rather than the big peaks and troughs,” he added.

City planners peg the current two to three percent growth as workable.

“Since the growth has slowed, we’ve been able to catch up on our infrastructure planning, and now we’ve catching up on our infrastructure improve-

City Councilor Boddie and candidate Abernethy both agreed the city is keeping up right now, though if growth accelerates, they predict problems.

Tim Knopp, executive vice president of the Central Oregon Builders Association, also likes where things are now.

He points out that around 2007, the city received applications for more than 2,000 single-family housing units per year, which he called too many. At the bottom of the recession, that fell to 150, which was too few. The building

and encourages denser development inside the city.

Oregon cities must keep enough available land inside their UGBs to accommodate forecasted growth. When a city runs short, it annexes more through a process overseen by the state.

In 2009, city officials sought to annex about 8,000 acres for growth through 2028, but the state balked.

“The original proposal was illegal. It was a former council poking a stick in the eye of state government and daring the state to keep them from breaking state law,” said Boddie, who was elected in 2014.

on the City of Bend,” Abernethy said.

“The growth is not something we are doing or causing. We’re having to react to it.”

He said one of his top priorities if elected will be preserving as much of the “Bend feel” as possible. He notes, though, that there will be tradeoffs. He pointed to the Oregon State Univer11 sity-Cascades campus coming to the West Side as an example. It will be exciting to have the energy of a university campus in town, but students will unavoidably increase traffic in that part of town and cause other town vs. gown conflicts.

“While we’re annoyed by growth, we can’t react by pricing everyone out of the community and turning ourselves into a resort.”

- Bend City Councilor Nathan Boddie

industry learned its lesson during the boom time and doesn’t want to get so far ahead of the demand and the need.

They are taking things more cautiously.

“About 1,000 homes per year is the right and sustainable growth rate for the City of Bend,” he said.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that Bend has about 37,000 housing units.

That means Knopp’s 1,000 per year works out to slightly less than a three percent growth rate.

URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY Bend currently is going through a lengthy process of expanding its Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The UGB is a state-mandated line on the map that designates where the city should grow.

It protects rural lands outside the city

The state said no way to the proposal, and directed Bend to make better use of the land it already had. Under the new proposal, Bend will annex about 2,300 acres for more than 5,000 additional housing units. “(Council’s) main job is to make sure we are planning ahead for and staying ahead of expected growth so that we can keep Bend a great place without killing the goose that lays the golden eggs,” Boddie said.

Since 5,000 units will not be enough to house the 30,000 people who are coming, increased density will be necessary.

The city has identified several “opportunity areas” where higher density housing will be encouraged.

“The state is imposing forced density

Monaghan, the deputy DA who moved to town last year, embraces that Bend feel, and he’s not alone. “I was telling the jury today about living in Central Oregon and living in Bend. I told them how lucky I feel to be here. The entire jury box just smiled and nodded. You could tell they feel lucky to be here, too.”

Bend City Council and Deschutes County Commissioners will hold a joint public hearing on the proposed UGB expansion on Thursday, Aug. 25. There will be two sessions starting at 1pm and 6pm with a break between. The second session will end no later than 9pm. The hearing will take place in the Barnes/ Sawyer Room on the first floor of the Deschutes Services Center, 1300 NW Wall Street in Bend. SW

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Bend City Councilor Nathan Boddie said he worries about housing affordability. “If we create something like a moratorium that prevents more housing and limits the ability of people to live here, prices go through the roof,” he said. “While we’re annoyed by growth, we can’t react by pricing everyone out of the community and turning ourselves into a resort.”

T

he night before the Christmas Valley Music Festival takes over the stage at RE Flowerree Memorial Park on Aug. 13, musicians, sponsors and supporters will gather at Rocker D Ranch, the home of co-founder Earl Diment. They will visit, drink and dine like good old friends often do, and before the night is over, music will be played as everyone prepares for the next day’s event, which is much more than a festival. It is a mission to care for the local community’s most vulnerable members: its children.

The Christmas Valley Music festival evolved from a concept Diment and co-founder Brad Rehm had for a musicians’ retreat. Diment says, “The first year we had no infrastructure.

People just showed up and we played music on the front porch and passed the whiskey bottle around.” Then, the late John Flowerree, who owned the local amphitheater, told Diment about his desire to have music played on his stage. Diment thought, “Shoot, why don’t we just do a little festival?”

With the festival being held in the community, Diment and Rehm

decided they should try to pump some money into the local economy. They called on local businesses to supply beer and food, and they came across a program called High Desert Brain Food that caught their attention and became their purpose.

With Christmas Valley schools open just four days a week, the Brain Food program provides food to students who may not eat from the time the school doors close on Thursday to when they open again on Monday.

“All of the money we get at the door and any money we raise goes to giving those kids as much as we can,” says Diment.

Fundraising efforts for the festival take place throughout the year in the form of a silent auction. The Festival is also supported by a standing grant from John Flowerree’s Christmas Valley Foundation, as well as a grant from the Lake County Coalition for the Arts.

Last year Diment and Rehm turned the festival into a 501c3 nonprofit organization. They also started to raise funds for a small scholarship.

Now, Diment says, “When we have a

graduating senior from the school out here who decides they want to take a music major or minor, we’ll be able to give them a little bit of money.”

This year the Christmas Valley Music Festival will feature eight bands including Diment’s band Loose Change, DC Malone & The Jones, Ma Fondue, ¡Chiringa!, Saint Jack’s Parade, Dakota Bob & Friends, Michael Manning, and The Weasels. Local food vendors will provide burgers and pizza, Pour House will host a beer garden, 10 Barrel Brewing will donate beer.

Diment says, “Last year, off the music festival alone, we fed kids for about two and a half months. This year we are hoping to do much better.” The Christmas Valley Music festival offers musicians and music lovers alike the opportunity to enjoy great tunes and, more importantly, prove that music does really make a difference.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Turns 50

John McEuen and crew have been producing influential music for half a century. #NGDB50 17

By Danielle Meyer

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

“I

f anyone is curious about how we’ve been a band for 50 years, come see us play,” said John McEuen, founding member of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (NGDB) found its name in Long Beach, Calif., in the summer of 1966. They are often cited as a catalyst for an entire movement of Americana music, and they continue to have an iconic and influential presence today. According to McEuen, “We set the groundwork for an earthy style of Americana and then put a little more dirt in it.”

They were all juveniles when the band formed in the 60s and have since received multiple Grammys, International Bluegrass Music Awards, County Music Awards and multiple top 10 hits such as “Fishing in the Dark” and “Mr. Bojangles.” They will grace the Crook County Fairgrounds on Aug. 13 as a part of their 50th anniversary tour (#NGDB50).

The band’s sound began as a rock-country collaboration with founding members Jeff Hanna (guitar, vocals), Jimmie Fadden (harmonica, vocals, drums, and percussion), Chris Darrow (guitar, fiddle), Les Thompson (vocals, mandolin, bass, guitar, banjo and percussion), and John McEuen (banjo and fiddle). They coasted outside the coattails of fame, obtaining critical success but commercial failure with the release of their first three albums, “The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band” (1967), “Ricochet” (1967)

and “Rare Junk” (1968).

Eventually, NGBD began to produce music with a jug band sound that faded into country. They traveled to Nashville, Tenn., to record with country veterans such as Roy Acuff, Earl Scruggs, and Mother Maybelle Carter.

It was in Nashville that the band harnessed its influential rock-country sound, releasing “Will the Circle be Unbroken” in 1973. It was a million dollar-seller with positive reviews, and the cycle has continued since then.

The group has continued to produce albums with success every year or two.

In 1983, the album “Let Go” marked their return to country music, and NGBD made headlines as the first American rock band to tour the Soviet Union. In 1989, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken Vol. 2” won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal performance (duo or group) and Country Music Association’s Album of the year. This album featured artists Johnny Cash, Chris Hillman and Ricky Skaggs. The band is known now for incorporating many recognized musicians into their work.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is featured in American country music discographies. The single, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” crosses the country barrier into bluegrass and explores Americana like a battle hymn.

The band’s other notable singles include “Fishing in the Dark,” a song written by Wendy Waldman and Jim Photoglo that was released in 1987 as a second single for the album, “Hold

On.” It not only reached number-one on the United States country charts, but also made it to second in Canada.

Photoglo is traveling with the band on this tour.

The band has visited Oregon on more than one occasion, including during the filming of “Paint Your Wagon” (1969) in Baker, Oregon. The film starred Clint Eastwood, Jean Seberg, Lee Marvin and a soundtrack that featured NGDB. McEuen said he is hoping some of the people involved with the film will come see the show because they’ve got a half dozen new songs.

The band has packed 50 years of relevant hits into this anniversary tour. NGDB hosted a star-studded televised PBS special this past March to broadcast their sold-out performances. The special featured legendary guest artists including Jerry Jeff Walker, Alison Krauss, Rodney Crowell, Byron House and Jackson Browne.

With these special guests the NGDB humbly displayed the talent that made them part of a pivotal project in history that led to a change in music genre.

From the radical hippies of the 1960s to the millennials of today, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band still finds a way to keep folks listening. SW Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Saturday, Aug. 13, 7pm Crook County Fairgrounds, 1280 Main St., Prineville $28

T’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. WELCOME TO THE SOURCE WEEKLY’S ANNUAL BEST OF CENTRAL OREGON ISSUE.

This is not only the biggest paper we print all year, it is the most anticipated by local businesses and residents. That puts a lot of pressure on our staff to make sure we do the best possible job highlighting the best food, drink, events, and amenities our region has to offer.

Fortunately, we’ve been dealt an excellent hand this year.

Among the 2016 winners are several returning champions (Best Breakfast), some newcomers (Best Dessert, Best Blog), and at least one upset (Best Burger). In addition to listing all the winners and telling some of their stories, we have solicited original ideas from our writers for their personal best recommendations, including Best Microcosm of Bend and Best Spot for Skinny Dipping.

In keeping with the Best Of theme, we asked local movers and shakers what they think Bend and Central Oregon do

best, and included their comments in our weekly opinion column.

As a bonus, this year we’ve thrown in some of the more unusual votes we received from readers, to give you a taste of the ballot-counting joy we experience every year around this time.

We hope you will not only enjoy learning who made this year’s Best Of list, but that you will drop by their businesses to congratulate them on their win.

Thank You

Central Oregon for Voting us 2nd Best Vegetarian Restaurant!

What we’ve learned about you, dear readers: You’re a very opinionated group with high self-esteem, though you tend to have a hard time spelling things correctly.

Case in point: Tratorria Sbandati wins the most-misspelled business award! (Read over the correct spelling once again, and then try to get it right next year...)

WHY I VOTED

BEN MIOSI | AGE: 36 Occupation: marketing team lead, Whole Foods Market, Bend.

In my opinion, Laughing Planet is the best vegetarian cuisine in Bend due to their consistency, price point, available nutritional information, and service experience. They provide a wide range of vegan-friendly dishes that don't break the bank (or the belt!).

THE BEST OF CENTRAL OREGON

ost menus in Bend provide ample options for vegetarians on the hunt for a meatless meal – so in that way, the best vegetarian category has some meaty competition. Still, it’s Laughing Planet that came out, well, laughing. Their welldesigned menu makes it easy to decipher which plates are veg-friendly. Meat is by no means the minority; it’s just that the meals are prepared to be palate pleasers for herbivores and carnivores alike. They even invite you to make swap-outs, so you don’t have to feel like the token obnoxious customer. The ingredients are fresh and simple, so virgin vegetarians don’t get overwhelmed.

There are great options for kids of all ages, a solid smoothie list, and they’re open all day. Laughing Planet’s commitment to conscious consumerism is a perk for the like-minded carnivore who is as picky about their meat as their veggie friends are about non-GMO soy. Factor in the quick service, convenient location, ample parking and to-go service, and it’s easy to see why this local chain is the most popular vege-table in town.

BEST MEXICAN 1ST PLACE | EL RANCHO GRANDE MEXICAN RESTAURANT

By Dana Bartus

T

his year’s Best Mexican is an ace up the sleeve, for sure. If you don’t know El Rancho Grande, you should. It’s in the Cascade Village Shopping Center across from the water fountain. You can’t miss it because there’s a giant bucking bull out front. That’s Diablo, their mascot. The dining room is lined with big comfy booths, the bar is equipped with a handful of TVs, and the patio makes for good spectating. Besides the fun environment and the fast and super friendly service, the food is good – and you won’t go hungry because the portions are not small. Don’t expect to spend a fortune, either. With two happy hours every day, 2:30 to 6 and 8:30 to close, and their “Amigos Club,” you definitely get your money’s worth. The menu is loaded with options, including combos, so you can literally get everything. Half of the cocktail list is dedicated to the margaritas alone, and the beer list includes both local and Mexican imports. No wonder this underdog came outta nowhere for the win this year.

BEST BEND EXCLUSIVE SOURDOUGH SCONES WITH HONEY BUTTER FROM PINE TAVERN

By Russ Axon

E

very deck of cards looks similar, for the most part, with diamonds and 2’s and Kings with swords. But what differentiates decks is the Ace of Spades, that one card with a unique design unlike any other card. Towns are like card decks, in that there are a lot of similar landmarks and shops and events, but there’s always that one dish or spot or item that can’t be found anywhere else.

While there are a few exclusives in Bend – such as Bachelor Bitter on cask and honey for your pizza crust – this year’s Ace in the Hole is the sourdough scone with honey butter. Whipped up only at Pine Tavern, these delicious, golden-brown scones lie somewhere between a doughnut and a croissant, with a fluffy texture and buttery flavor. But once they’re smothered in the signature honey butter—a creamy, sweet and delectable condiment—the

game is changed. All the flavors are compounded into one of the tastiest treats ever eaten. At only 75 cents per scone, there’s no reason not to eat a dozen at a time. (For an extra exclusive, enjoy the scones beneath Pine Tavern’s 150-year-old, 300-foot-tall Ponderosa Pine, which resides in the middle of the dining room.)

BEST ETHNIC FOOD 1ST PLACE | KEBABA RESTAURANT

By MW Hill

S

Jackpot dishes include a lamb gyro made from house roasted, all natural, hormonefree lamb leg, served on a homemade fresh-baked pita. Also noteworthy are the chicken, lamb, salmon or prawn kebabs. For the herbivore in your party, Kebaba offer a vegetarian mezze that includes tastes of falafel, hummus, babaganouj, taboule salad and rice pilaf.

For flavorful profiles that up the ante, try the curried lentil soup, carrot feta jam, Imperial Stock Ranch lamb or beef burger and zataar-spiced fries, which all have rabid cult followings, according to owner Steve Koch.

Thank you Central Oregon!

We have enjoyed serving you quality food since 2008.

Life’s Better With a Burger!

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Striving to bring food from exotic travels back to Bend, Koch also speaks for owners Jake Lewis and Mike Ormsby, saying, “There wasn’t much variety of ethnic foods back in 2006 when we opened. We love providing an alternative to the standard Bend pub menu; our customers really enjoy the exotic flavors and appreciate the health benefits from eating this kind of cuisine.” He encourages customers to stop in and check the daily lunch and dinner specials.

et’s be honest: Bend drew an Ace when Wild Rose opened downtown. Everyone loves the place because you can play this card multiple different ways. The cozy, eclectic atmosphere is inviting for any occasion. You could bring your mom, have a business meeting, or go on a Tinder date and you’d still feel right at home.

There are fresh roses on each table and dried bunches hanging overhead. The simple menu is accommodating to vegetarians, while at the same time serving authentic northern Thai food. The large chalkboard wall next to the bar highlights their specials, so you know they keep it fresh, and tasty. With such well-balanced flavor profiles, it’s clear the kitchen is staffed with talent. Pair the food with your favorite Thai-inspired craft cocktail from the tiny bar and you’ll feel like a queen (or king). It’s easy to see why Bendites chose Wild Rose for best Thai two years in a row. All told, it’s an affordable spot in the heart of town that has that magical Bend feeling — you know, the one that says we are doing what we love in our own way.

BEST DESSERT 1ST PLACE | BONTÀ GELATO

By MW Hill

S

erving up hand-crafted, artisan gelato and sorbets that trump all other desserts, Bontà Gelato sources its ingredients from farms and companies like Rainshadow Organics, Miracle Acre Farm, Tumalo Lavender, Jem Nut Butter, Freddy Guys Hazelnuts, Thump Espresso and Eberhard’s.

Much like they have done since their start in 2011 at Northwest Crossing Farmers Market, the Bontà team makes its own “base” at its dairy creamery on Wilson Avenue each day, using fresh pasteurized milk and cream.

When it comes to “dealer’s choice,” the Dulce de Leche with Sea Salt takes the hand.

It’s crafted daily by reducing milk, cream and sugar for nine hours. Other popular flavors are the Vanilla Bourbon Pecan made with Oregon Spirit Distillers Bourbon, Brown Butter Chocolate, Stracciatella (a sweet cream gelato with Theo 70% dark chocolate folded in) and Peanut Butter with Theo Fudge.

Vegans will enjoy flavors made with organic coconut milk, including Chocolate Coconut, Toasted Coconut and Espresso Coco Chip.

You can purchase your pints at stores throughout the Northwest and locally at Newport Market, Whole Foods, Food4Less, CE Lovejoys, Market of Choice and Central Oregon Locavore, as well as the downtown retail shop that opened in 2015.

BEST GLUTEN FREE FEARLESS BAKING BAKERY & CAFE

By MW Hill

W

hen it comes to getting the best gluten free (GF) items for breakfast and lunch, place your bets on Fearless Baking Bakery & Café, where they’ve been serving it up since 2013. Founder and owner Elise Kukulka always directs people toward the GF Rosemary English Muffins, which she makes into breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches as well as selling them as a six-pack.

For desserts, Fearless offers an amazing GF Chocolate Chip Cookie that Kukulka says she’d choose over the full-gluten version any day. The GF Raspberry Mazurka Bar often gets overlooked, but upon sampling it tends to convert people for life.

With a GF shortbread crust, raspberry preserves and homemade GF granola and streusel, it’s a treat fit for a king.

“We mix our own GF flour blend at the shop for most of our GF items. We also have a few items inspired by the paleo diet that lean on coconut flour and almond flour for the base. Trial, error and fearlessness,” Kukulka explains. “I am so passionate about being connected with customers and filling their cheeks with tasty pastries. I believe in creating simple, scratch-made pastries in the hopes of lighting up people's faces and inspiring them to experiment in the kitchen.”

Servicing more than 10 wholesale cafes, restaurants and hotels around town with deliciousness, Fearless also has a brick and mortar shop on Division Street catering to a faithful breakfast and lunch crowd.

Note: Fearless’s GF products are catered toward people making a dietary or lifestyle change because of a mild intolerance. Contamination via airborne particles is a possibility.

ho is the king of burgers in Bend? You guessed it: Bend Burger Company.

What makes them the best? Quality and consistency. Don’t be fooled by the fact that they have two locations (downtown and the North end of Third Street): the locally-owned and operated burger joint is not a chain. It’s not fast food, either, but the counter service is as quick as it gets for made-to-order. Each of their 12 burgers is creatively crafted with a variety of cheeses and toppings based around the Bend experience. With names like Mirror Pond, Wall Street, Lava Butte “Hot” and Bachelor Brat, it is impossible to imagine these burgers anywhere else. All the toppings are fresh, as is the bread, and the meat to bread ratio is on point. The medium-sized, hand-pressed chuck steak patties are not too thick and not too thin. Most importantly, they don’t crumble. Quality control is important to the Bend Burger family, which means you’ll score a well-made burger every time.

BEST WINE SHOP 1ST PLACE | SIP

By Jared Rasic

E

my and Brad Sanchez have a good thing going with Sip Wine Bar: A perfect location on the corner of 14th and Galveston, a friendly and knowledgeable staff and not the faintest whiff of pretension. The atmosphere of Sip is relaxed and jovial and that sense of stuffiness that can be found in some wine bars is nowhere to be found.

43 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 /

Emy Sanchez has a good idea of what makes Sip Bend’s favorite wine shop.

“We have awesome people working here. We have fun wine flights and a non-intimidating atmosphere. Wine can be a little scary for some people that aren’t experienced with it. We wanted Sip to be a cozy, pub-style place where you can drink your wine and never feel intimidated.”

Sip continues to have weekly events like Ladies Night Wednesdays, which has become very popular with its different specials and flights. September 1 is also the 2nd Annual Sip Summer Wine-Down, basically a huge customer appreciation party with live music and cheap flights.

Emy Sanchez has the winning formula down: “We keep our wine list short, sweet and change it often. We keep it fun and simple.”

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 /

eschutes Brewery is typically regarded as the best craft beer in Bend, with its brewmasters regarded as kings of their profession. Now a queen has come along to add to the brewery’s winning formula.

Brewmaster Veronica Vega of Deschutes Brewery has brought her creativity, experience and passion to Bend’s beer scene to become the Source's first female Best Brewer.

THE BEST OF CENTRAL OREGON

Vega’s path to success is unique. Originally coming onboard as a tour guide in 2006, Vega worked through a variety of jobs at the brewery, including cellar work and production brewing. She was the lead brewer for three and a half years before being promoted to brewmaster in 2015. She is currently leading the brewery’s research and development department, along with brewing some of the best beer in Bend.

Only a year into her tenure, beer fans can’t wait to see what other aces Vega has up her sleeve.

O

ne beer is a good start and a pair is even better — but everyone knows that three of a kind is the way to go. Deschutes Brewery is holding that winning hand with its seasonal offerings: Red Chair NWPA, Jubelale and Twilight Summer Ale.

Photo courtsey of Deschutes Brewery

Packing a variety of malts with a small punch of hops, Red Chair – this year’s winner for Best Seasonal Beer — is different from other pale ales. This copper-bodied brew is surprisingly complex, with floral notes and a pleasant citrus finish typically found in IPAs. The popular Jubel ale– tied for 2nd place — gets better every year. Nothing warms up the body quite like the roasty and spicy notes in this winter ale. The dark body, hoppy finish and colorful new label — courtesy of local artist Taylor Rose — all make this brew an annual tradition.

Twilight Summer Ale – also tied for 2nd — offers a winning combination of malts and hops. This golden-bodied ale is crisp and refreshing, with a tasty mix of citrus and grapefruit flavors. (Hopefully, it’ll be back on the brewing schedule in the future.)

Glad to hear my favorite made the cut! I picked M&J Tavern for best bartender because: The night crew is always very attentive. They make a great cocktail; I don’t ever wait long for a top notch drink and a fun atmosphere. It’s quickly becoming a favorite amongst local rock artists.

BEST WAY TO RUIN YOUR WORKOUT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE TO TOTAL GLUTTONY, CENTRAL OREGON STYLE

By Dana Bartus

I

magine you just finished the best workout of your life.

Maybe you broke a personal record; maybe it was your best friend’s record. Doesn’t matter. What matters is that you are past the point of caring about fitness goals and are ready to indulge in everything your personal trainer would shun you for wanting. Then you bust open your new vape pen -- since cannabis oils are now available recreationally, of course. Once the munchies set in, you head over to the original Sparrow Bakery for a bacon breakfast sando. The buttery croissant, perfectly poached egg, avocado and bacon are all burned into your memory. Your dedication to a svelte figure dwindling, you walk

down the street to Crux for a flight of their well-crafted microbrews. As you finish your Off Leash, your friends convince you to rally for a sunset trip to Smith Rock. Corralled into the car, you have just enough time to stop at the Terrebonne Depot for a protein-packed Farm burger, loaded with bison, pork belly, egg, bacon and a side of sweet potato fries. As the food coma sets in and you start to feel like a joker for ruining all your hard work, you remember that you bought Sparrow Bakery’s last Ocean Roll. Your regimen can start fresh tomorrow. Today was worth every calorie.

BEST GIFT STORE 1ST PLACE | JU-BEE-LEE

By Mikayla Lewis

F

or a small space, ju-bee-lee is a big store -- not necessarily in size, but in variety, quality and heart. The little shop opened up in April of 2013 and has quickly established itself as a favorite around town. However you came to hear about it, you’re sure to find something to fawn over inside.

When you take a peek at the selection, it’s no mystery how ju-bee-lee won this year’s “best gift shop” category. You can find stationery, jewelry, home decor, books... basically, something for every man, woman and child who walks in. There’s a lot of variety, but everything ties together without looking crowded or random.

POMEGRANATE HOME & GARDEN

WHY I VOTED

Kirsten Gilreath, owner of ju-bee-lee, says her method for choosing what items to stock is not complicated; she simply wants the contents of the store to invoke inspiration and creativity. “If it speaks to my soul,” she says, “it probably speaks to someone else’s.” Gilreath speaks very highly of her team, which is in part responsible for the delightful atmosphere inside. Next time you find yourself in downtown Bend, invite yourself in.

ANNA KALBRENER | AGE: 26 Occupation: graphic designer

Why I voted: ju-bee-lee is by far the best gift store downtown. I go there to find cards for any occasion, and know I can always find a unique gift for someone (or myself). Just a very nicely curated selection that is always changing!

WHY I VOTED

HAILEY TOTORICA | AGE: 23 Occupation: dental hygenist

I voted Lark for the best home decor because every time I go in, I feel like I’m in my future dream home. It’s a warm and comforting style of decor that many of us central Oregonians need to feel like home. They always bring their ‘A’ game on the newest home decor trends! Every time I’m in Lark, I can’t help but say... “I literally need this.” HA HA.

ark: n. A merry, carefree adventure; frolic; escapade. That description was the inspiration behind owner Karen Letourneau and general manager Jessica Pollard’s decision to open a companion shop to their popular Lone Crow Bungalow store.

Mimicking the carefree adventure that Bend embodies, Lark opened less than a year ago with the goal of offering home décor items that suit the modern Central Oregon mountain lifestyle. Karen and Jessica seek out well-crafted items that combine stellar design and quality with natural materials and functionality.

Most items are available to try before you buy, and a seasoned staff provides rare personal customer service.

Karen says, “Lark isn’t about abundance…it is about the joy of the journey and finding one element that speaks to you and serves a purpose.” Located in the heart of downtown Bend, Lark provides an undeniable shopping adventure for local and visiting customers.

I try to source clothes that are environmentally-friendly and try to get as many toys as I can that are made in the U.S.”

Swetland’s goal is to ensure that coming into the shop is a delight for customers.

BEST GREEN BUSINESS 1ST PLACE | SUNLIGHT SOLAR

By Annette Benedetti

S

Marketing and Outreach Director Kim Wilson attributes Sunlight Solar’s success to customers’ word-of-mouth referrals.

Their honesty and the fact that the company isn’t purely motivated by money are just a couple of the reasons she believes they were voted “Best of.” “We truly believe that…putting renewable energy on as many rooftops as possible will provide a better future for our children,” Wilson says. Sometimes though,

2ND PLACE |

for one reason or another, solar power isn’t a good fit for a prospective client. “Not everybody qualifies for solar…we are very upfront and honest about that,” Wilson admits.

57

Paul Israel, President of Sunlight Solar, has been in the energy business since the 1980s. He has managed over 4.5 megawatts of solar electric design and installation throughout the United States. With that effort it’s clear that the company’s dedication to the environment stretches beyond Bend, and to the world’s future.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 /

unlight Solar isn’t willing to gamble with environmental sustainability. While making solar power available to every home in Bend (and beyond) is the company leaders’ dream, their environmental stewardship also includes the companywide use of hybrid vehicles and recycled paper products, and commuting to work by foot, bus or bike when possible.

W

hen Sue Stehndahl opened the Cottage in 1978, she wanted her city to have a daycare with an environment as good as its values. Now, 38 years later, that mission is strong as ever. The Cottage is a daycare for kids from two-and-a-half to eight years old, with activities and lessons designed to keep them learning and having fun.

Within the walls of the Cottage kids learn about art, history, American Sign Language and Spanish. Regular field trips keep them engaged with what’s beyond those walls.

The Cottage exists for kids as well as for the next generation. Stehndahl was only 20 when she started the business, but now her two daughters help her run the business, keeping the cause alive with a passion for the families of Central Oregon.

“The most rewarding thing is that there are all these second-generation families here now,” Stehndahl says. She sees people who were children, who played and learned with her decades ago, return to make sure their own kids benefit from the same genuine care that they did. The Cottage crew takes pride in their kids, and their kids have grown up to take pride in them too.

f you’re new to town and looking to discover how things work around here, Living the Bend Life is the perfect blog. It features walkthroughs of Munch and Music, Bite of Bend, art exhibitions and tons more from the eyes of someone experiencing Bend’s local scene for the first time.

61 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 /

LtBL creator Brenda Menzel and family moved to Bend in March of 2015 after spending five years in Orlando, Fla. Menzel knew if Bend was going to work, she would need to dive right into the deep end of Bend culture.

“I’m not outdoorsy and it wasn’t my scene but I thought ‘I have to embrace the lifestyle or I’m going to be miserable.’ I started using the hashtag ‘Living the Bend Life’ and that’s where I got the idea. For me, this was a major change and I thought a blog could help people by providing information, because there are so many new people moving to Bend and there are so many visitors.”

BEST PLACE TO UNDERSTAND MILLENNIALS TOWNSHEND’S TEAHOUSE (OMG! LOL!)

By Jared Rasic

T

ownshend’s Teahouse is a perfect place for Millennial watching, as the youngsters (let’s say ages 13-23) have chosen Townshend’s as their downtown hangout spot. Young love is sparked and snuffed out, old friendships are rekindled and Pokemons are most seriously hunted.

Tea Tender Lily Scott says, “There’s a portion that’s considerate and artsy. Very sweet, kind and gracious.

You find notes they leave all over the teahouse that are kind of profound. They have this underlying beautiful side to them that they don’t show because they want to be like everybody else.”

Older generations complain the Millennials are a bunch of leftist pinko softies who care more about being politically correct than hardening themselves for a rough and unfeeling world. That’s crap, but who are we to judge? The experts are the Townshend’s Tea Tenders: Those few who are surrounded by the whippersnappers every day.

I asked Tea Tender Sahara Snow (herself a millennial) how she would describe the teahouse in only emojis: “Oh God. One would be . Definitely , throw that in there. And a . One of the good ones.”

“When they’re ordering, they’re on their cell phone most of the time and don’t really acknowledge you... almost like you’re a vending machine,” says manager Carissa Glenn.

The lesson: Millennials are like the rest of us: sometimes stressed and poopy, but underneath there’s a smiley face.

Ignite Bend is an annual event at the Tower Theater in which Central Oregon speakers are allowed five minutes and 20 rotating PowerPoint slides to get the audience excited about a topic. Options for speeches are unlimited. Interested in beekeeping? You have five minutes to get the crowd buzzing. Enthralled by aircraft flight? Five minutes are yours to beguile the rest of Bend. Attendees have been known to leave an Ignite night captivated by something as obscure as the Fibonacci sequence - all because of five unexpected minutes. Anyone can submit a proposal to speak, and online voting is available to let others decide what they want to hear.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 /

very fall, organizers of Ignite Bend can be expected to start the event with a couple of jokes about the surprising number of people who are gathered there to watch PowerPoint presentations. With a beginning like that, it’s a wonder anyone comes at all -- but Ignite is far more than the sum of its parts.

Check out what’s cooking’ at: shredtownfoodcart.com Open 9:30am - 8pm / 7 Days a Week 1009 NW Galveston Ave., Bend

In the end though, the event isn’t about the topics; it’s about the people. Ignite Bend was made to unite people with passion and spark conversations about things that might not have come up on their own. It’s meant to do just what it says: ignite.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 /

isitors to Central Oregon have endless options for outdoor activities – and even if you have aspirations to hit all the best places that this wonderland has to offer, no proper tourist can leave without experiencing the infamous float scene of the Deschutes River. Donning a tube and taking a day to bake in the sweltering summer sun has never been more fun or convenient. With the construction of Bend Whitewater Park, floaters can experience the drops offered by the man-made channel -- complete with natural features. It’s all the excitement of a water park without the carnival lines. It’s super accessible and inexpensive, with rentals available from local outfitters and a $3 unlimited city shuttle running all day long. It’s right in town, which makes a half-day trip really convenient. If watersports aren’t your thing, you can still get in on the action and stay dry watching from the Colorado Avenue footbridge. Bend Parks and Rec has all the info you need on its website. With such affordable access to fun for the whole family, it’s easy to see why floating the Deschutes is at the top of the traveler’s tick list.

BEST REASON TO VISIT EASTERN OREGON KAM WA CHUNG STATE HERITAGE SITE

By Annette Benedetti

O

regon’s part in the Wild West was all about timber, fur, and gold. These resources were hard earned and provided opportunities to only the hardiest people of the time. At first glance, Eastern Oregon’s history rarely evokes thoughts of diversity, but the Kam Wa Chung & Co. Museum gives visitors a unique glimpse into the past.

Located in the town of John Day, The Kam Wa Chung State Heritage site honors the Chinese communities whose backbreaking work helped bring Oregon, and all of the West, into the 20th century.

Built in the 1870s, this museum was once home to Ing “Doc” Hay and Lung On, two Chinese immigrants who became locally famous. In each perfectly-placed and preserved artifact, the once-thriving general store and Eastern medicine clinic springs back to life -- offering a moment to submerge yourself in history and fill your senses with a slice of these industrious people’s lives.

Why I voted: I voted because I am an entrepreneur and self employed myself in Bend, so I know the importance of supporting other small local businesses!

I voted for Pangea for best alternative health care because the doctors care about my health and treat me like family, and I feel better after each visit to their office!

t is no secret that the U.S. is facing a major healthcare crisis. We spend more money and receive worse results than the majority of the developed world – but the Pangea Chiropractic team is on a mission to change that through education, transparency and empowerment. Their approach is to look at individuals as living beings instead of treating people’s symptoms. Dr. Ashley and Dr. Andrew Torchio lead an extremely passionate team, serving patients from infancy to advanced age. They utilize the body and its healing potential through the use of their hands instead of drugs. Their office in the Brookswood Plaza is far from clinical and feels more like a community wellness center than a doctor’s office. It’s a place where patients learn a new way to think about wellness and how to take responsibility for their own health. New patients are offered a complimentary 30-minute initial consultation and can schedule out their entire care plan, including in-house X-rays. Check their calendar for free public workshops, because they’re literally taking the worst possible hand and turning it into a royal flush.

BEST PLACE TO WATCH PEOPLE PLAY POKÉMON GO

By Mikayla Lewis

O

n July 6, people went on long walks and got in touch with their geeky sides while Nintendo’s stock went sky-high. Maybe you downloaded Pokémon Go the moment it launched, or maybe you scoffed as your co-workers boasted about where they “almost caught a Dragonite.” If you’re the latter type, you might be on the outside — but your world doesn’t have to be devoid of Pokémon fun.

If you’re not busy actually playing the game, you get to enjoy two things that no person “on the Go” can: a decent smartphone battery life, and a casual peoplewatching hobby taken to a whole new level.

On the corner of Wall and Franklin — a corner long maintained by a well-loved statue — you will now find that “Art” does not sit alone. Rather, he sits in the epicenter of a mass of virtual creatures and people using

their iPhones to catch them. The pedestrian traffic signs may flash the all-clear, but no one on the corner will be moving. They are all right where they want to be -- and so will you be, enjoying a drink across the street while you take in the sight of so many people united for a single cause.

RYDER UETRECHT

TWO LOCATIONS NOW OPEN! MIDTOWN 755 NW GREENWOOD AVE.

By Dana Bartus

541-241-8788

A

t first glance, Ryder Uetrecht might seem like a typical kid who loves to ride bikes, but he’s far from the average high school freshman. In the past two years he’s placed 3rd and 10th in the USA Cycling National MTB Championship and 5th in the Cyclocross Nationals. He began riding with the Bend Endurance Academy at age 9. This summer he attended an elite invite-only cyclocross camp in Helena, Mont., where the nation’s best gather to develop technique, physical and mental skills. Uetrecht speaks eloquently about training and racing, yet also passionately when describing the terrain of his favorite rides. With that in mind, he notes, “The best rides are when you just go where the bike takes you.” He is nonchalant about his dedication to the sport, but even on his days off he will “do a light spin just to keep the legs fresh,” he says. Uetrecht says his coaches inspire him to ride more, find more beautiful places and have more fun. Right now he’s enjoying competing in both mountain biking and cyclocross, and his overall goals are to be well known, to race in Europe and be selected for a world’s block. With his humble attitude and a positive approach, he is likely to do just that.

BEST SKINNY DIPPING SPOTS BARE WHERE YOU DARE

By Annette Benedetti

W

hen it’s as hot as it has been in Central Oregon, there are times when you’ll need to take a swim but won’t necessarily have your suit along.

Not to worry – you don’t really need it...

Not that this pick represents the opinion of ALL our staff…but regardless, the following spots all qualify for the best place to go skinny dipping. (But we won’t reveal the absolute, hands-down best, for fear of being found...)

BARE LAKE: This small, natural and picturesque lake is only a 1/2-mile hike from Todd Lake. While it doesn’t take much work to get to, you won’t find big crowds here. If you do run into other “swimmers,” they are likely to be wearing the same suit as you, so you’ll feel right at home.

DORIS LAKE: Approximately three miles west of the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, this lake is surprisingly secluded. It features crystal-clear water that is cool enough to provide relief during the heat of summer, but warm enough that you won’t regret leaving your skivvies behind.

LUCKY LAKE: A little more than a mile hike from the trailhead (located on the West side of Cascade Lakes Highway), this lake gets downright warm in summer. Its lack of springs and rushing cold water means you can enjoy stripping down and swimming for hours. The hiking trails are scenic and there are even spots where you can see South Sister.

BEST MICROCOSM OF BEND

et’s say you have some friends coming through town and they only have an hour to spend before they head out. How do you show your friends the essence of Bend in 60 short minutes? Do you take them downtown? To the east side? Out to the lakes or some super sweet mountain biking trail?

The answer to all those questions is a hearty NAY! You take them... to the Box Factory.

So much of what Bend is, was, and is becoming is situated within its massive parking lot. It’s one-stop shopping for everything Central Oregon. There’s Immersion Brewing for the craft brew connoisseur, Atlas Cider for those looking for some fermentation with their fruit and the Brown Owl, Blackened Dragon and other food carts for those who feel brick and mortar is too 2014.

There’s also The Bend Tour Company for Segway and cycle pub tours, Recharge for athletic recovery and training, Yoga Lab for all your namaste needs, Gear Fix for used outdoor stuff, A6 Studio & Gallery, a construction firm, a ski and cyclery store, plus a hair and skin parlor. For the relaxed kids there’s the tabletop gaming spot and Strictly Organic Coffee around the corner.

The Box Factory is a true microcosm of Bend. For better or worse.

BEST INSTAGRAM SELFIE SPOT PILOT BUTTE

T

eenage girls, Instagram celebs and Ellen DeGeneres know the rules for taking the perfect selfie: get a good amount of natural light; chin down, lips pouted; and pick a memorable location for the background. Here in Bend, there is no end of beautiful spots that make for great selfies, but Bendites at the top of their Instagram game know Pilot Butte is the best spot for selfies.

Whether it’s in a selfie or a landscape shot or even out of focus, Pilot Butte is one of the most gorgeous spots in town. Rising almost 500 feet in the middle of Bend, Pilot Butte gives photographers a perfect view of everything. Walk or run the winding path early in the morning for a victory selfie at the summit. Get tricky and try a forced perspective shot to hold the extinct volcano in the palm of your hands. Or drive to the top as the sun sets behind Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top and the Three Sisters for a stunning and romantic selfie with your favorite squeeze. Pilot Butte makes for such a memorable selfie, all those other rules are unnecessary (i.e. duck faces not required).

Silent 1926 classic, “The General,” screens with a new, live score

ART WATCH

Buster Keaton amazes and entertains in 1926’s “The General.” Photo courtesy of the Tower Theatre.

I

n case you haven’t seen it, Buster Keaton’s “The General” is one of the greatest movies ever made. No hyperbole needed or used: the movie is the pinnacle of the silent film era, combining some of the most jaw-dropping stunts and hilarious physical comedy ever captured on celluloid. To see a screening of “The General” would be a treat by itself, but something altogether more exciting and original is happening.

Many surviving movies from the silent film era weren’t recognized or appreciated for their scores. Back when the films were played in theaters, an organist or pianist would accompany the film with music, sometimes the same score for each movie playing the theater in a given week. Imagine a serious silent film with a goofy score that doesn’t remotely capture the mood or tone of what’s happening.

In celebration of the 90th anniversary of “The General” and Portland’s Hollywood Theatre, the Oregon Community Foundation and the Oregon Film Office have combined to present a touring show of the film through the state’s historic theaters. Composer Mark Orton (“Nebraska”) has written an entirely new score for the film and will be touring with it, performing the music live with a seven-piece orchestra.

The amount of original music being written for “The General” is staggering when compared to a modern film containing dialogue and other diegetic

sounds. “It’s a lot of time,” says Orton.

“A normal feature film often has as little as 20 or 25 minutes of music in it, and this is wall-to-wall for 75. It’s a heavy lift if you’re actually scoring this thing.”

Orton already had some experience with silent films and Keaton in particular before taking the gig. “I’m a huge fan of Buster Keaton. I was turned on to it back in the day when I was in my early 20s. Before my own band got going and I started scoring films, I was a sound engineer, and I toured with one of my heroes: the jazz guitarist Bill Frisell. We were touring with Buster Keaton films and doing live soundtracks.”

The live score will also contain instruments not just handmade and original, but some authentic to the period.

“This naturally evolved out of my time with (his band) Tin Hat,” says Orton.

“Tin Hat was an ensemble that based itself around a core of violin, guitar and accordion. The only real mission statement with that band—aside from trying to create something really original, cutting edge and somewhat avant-garde - was to keep it fully acoustic and expand our sonic palate.”

Orton seems to be the perfect composer to add something entirely original to Keaton’s 1926 masterpiece.

His multi-instrumental training has allowed him to get to know his arsenal of oddities intimately. “We were using extended technique, so preparing the piano with bolts and chains on the

strings, pipe cleaners threaded through the guitar strings and other sorts of odd tricks. Rather than use additional devices or electronic effects, we would do it with all organic textures. So that led us to collecting all sorts of oddballs and antiques. I’ve collected a ton of stuff like old Civil War reed organs called field organs. I have take-offs on auto harps and zithers, marxophones, a strange collection of oversized harmonicas, which will work their way into the score for the train sounds.”

Using all the tools he already had at hand was an easy choice for Orton.

“As a film composer I’m working in the studio, playing my own instruments a lot of the time,” he says. “I’m always looking for new colors. They can be inspirational as a composer. So, I’ve amassed all this stuff, and it makes sense that it would find its way into a film that is both based in the Civil War and created during an older era of music.”

This screening of “The General” isn’t just a chance to see a classic movie with an original live score, but a singular event that could never be duplicated.

Orton might release his composition on disc or vinyl, and the Tower might have another showing of the movie one day, but the combination of the film and the live score is probably once in a lifetime. SW The General Tues., Aug. 16, 8pm Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend $15-$25

On July 30, McMenamins Old St. Francis School celebrated its recent expansion, which more than doubled its number of rooms. Through the use of distinct design elements and artistic applications, the iconic lodging and entertainment venue showed its commitment to historic preservation when it unveiled two new buildings aptly named the Education House and the Art House.

In order to build the new structures, three bungalows that were part of the original St. Francis School were sold and moved off of the property still intact. The new buildings were designed using elements from the original bungalows in an effort to preserve the property’s history.

The Education House has 17 rooms that each display paintings that honor St. Francis School’s former teachers including Donna Lutzky, the school’s first art teacher. The Art House’s 24 rooms feature scenes hand-painted by on-staff artists. “We brought together 24 artists that have worked with McMenamins over the years to create all the art in both new buildings,” McMenamins’ lead artist Olivia Behm says.

“Each hand-painted headboard or canvas honors a piece of Bend history or depicts the lore and culture of McMenamins.”

The new buildings are full of surprises, such as the Art House’s tiny hidden bar and two intricately painted and secret black light rooms. Guests also enjoy complimentary Mason jars for beer fillups and freshly brewed McMenamins coffee in every room.

“With the expansion, we’re able to host more Bend travelers and accommodate groups large and small,” said Free Star Yost, Old St. Francis School property manager. “But give us a call soon, we’re already booking up!” SW

John, Paul, George and MURDER

"The Beatles Die On Tuesday" premieres at 2nd Street Theater

By Jared Rasic 87

I

t’s always interesting to look back on certain moments in history and wonder what you would have done. Would you kill baby Hitler? Launch Apple a few years early?

Clinton Clark’s play, “The Beatles Die On Tuesday,” takes an interesting trip through history, following an alternate timeline to its logical and powerful conclusion.

“The Beatles Die on Tuesday” tells the story of Johnny, a singer, guitarist and songwriter, and his brother, Alex, who is a painter. They’re still reeling from the sudden death of their father and hanging out in the attic listening to his old records when they have an idea.

Their father loved codes and hidden messages so much they think he might have left them some sort of note from beyond the grave.

The brothers start playing an old Elvis record backwards searching for meaning when they fall unconscious and wake up in the 1950s. Not just in the 1950s, but in the Sun Records recording studio of Sam Phillips moments before he laid down the first recording of a young Elvis Presley. Johnny acts quickly, and before Elvis can play a single note, he talks Phillips into letting him play one song for him. The song: “Heartbreak Hotel.”

Johnny finds instant success with “his”

song. Alex thinks what he is doing is wrong, but he accepts it and follows his big brother as Johnny keeps getting more famous, stealing songs from artists all across history. Soon he is the man known for writing “Stairway to Heaven,” “Satisfaction,” and “Walk Like an Egyptian.”

The only deal Johnny makes with Alex is that the Beatles are off limits to his creative theft. But as the 1950s make way for the 1960s, his promise might be difficult to keep.

Local actor/writer Clinton Clark is not just the playwright and co-director of “The Beatles Die On Tuesday,” but he’s also playing the lead role of Johnny.

After many years and dozens of drafts, “BDOT’s” world premiere has arrived, marking the tenth world premiere for 2nd Street Theater. Clark doesn’t just want BDOT to stop here, however. “I hope this isn’t the one and only production of ‘The Beatles Die on Tuesday.’ I hope people are excited enough about it to do it other places and put it out there in the world.”

It’s a strong play filled with characters existing in some troublesome moral areas. But no one is all bad or all good: they’re just people looking for the best way through life as greed and jealousy grip them tight. Clark is a promising emerging playwright and “The Beatles Die On Tuesday” is a good place to take notice of his voice.

Fragments and pieces of BDOT have been with Clark for years, since he took a rock history class. “I got really excited about that explosion of music that happened in the fifties and early sixties,” says Clark. “Then my senior year I had just got done doing my first play, ‘Taming of the Shrew,’ and the next project was to write a one-act. So I wrote a 12-page, five-act short play since I’d just done Shakespeare and I thought all plays had five acts. It had all of the basic raw elements.”

CHOW Eating High on the Hog

Pono Farm & Fine Meats surpasses expectations

LITTLE BITES

By Renée Alexander

By Angela Moore 89

Taj Palace Specializes in Fresh South Indian Cuisine Americans tend to think of Indian food as a single, monolithic cuisine consisting of basmati rice, assorted curries, and tandoori chicken. In reality, Indian food is as diverse as the country itself, where 1.2 billion citizens speak more than 300 languages, and each of the nation’s more than two dozen states features at least a few regional specialties of its own.

Put Pono Farm’s Fried Rice on your bucket list, but bring the bucket with you and ask them to fill it up. Just order one of everything. Photo by Ban Tat.

H

ave you had fried rice before?

Oh, you have? NO! NO! You are wrong! You have never had fried rice until you’ve eaten Pono Farm’s Fried Rice. Heck, you haven’t even lived until you have had their insanely addictive, bacon-fat-and-meat-flurried-fluffy-rice-and-what-is-that?

A-shred-of-carrot? Oh-this-ishealthy! …fried-rice dish.

Pono Farm & Fine Meats is a magical place where cows and pigs go to die and people go to live high on the hog.

It’s a meaty kind of heaven peppered with burgers, jerky, steaks, short ribs, corned beef, pork and a variety of sides that round out a meal like a halo on an angel. The kitchen is only open for lunch, but the butchery is open during regular business hours, which is really the only regular thing about this place.

Manager Camille Pouliot has been with Pono Farm for the past two years of the five they have been open and speaks passionately about the meats they produce. “We do have very high standards, which is how Pono Farm was born. Our goal is to provide the best quality meat, produced sustainably and humanely.”

She continues, “All of our animals are raised on pasture and drink Opal Spring water. We specialize in Wagyu (American Kobe) beef, which is grassfed and finished and then dry-aged

here at our shop.”

Their other meat-star is pork. “Our pigs are a mix of heritage breeds, fed a diet of mostly hay, supplemented with seasonal produce,” she says. “All of our animals are grown slowly, producing the best quality meat.”

All too often we find ourselves eating mystery meals, completely in the dark as to where they came from. One dollar burgers, packaged sandwiches and processed snacks are pumped full of colors and preservatives that are as unnecessary as they are abundant.

This type of dining is diametrically opposed to the philosophy—and practices—of Pono Farm.

“Pono,” a Hawaiian word, translates to “righteous or having high moral quality,” which is the goal of the farm.

“Everything is made in-house, fresh from our own farm. We use everything we can, operating as close to zero-waste as possible,” says Pouliot.

“We make stock out of bones, render fat into lard, make sausage out of meat trimmings, and so forth. Since we grow everything ourselves, we use as much of it as possible.”

The kitchen menu changes seasonally and even daily, depending on the available stock. The unique menu is created by co-owners and operators Ted and Shin Nakato, brothers of Japanese heritage who grew up in the southern U.S., where BBQ is king and

meat is the centerpiece of every meal.

You can taste their Asian influence in the dishes, which brings us back to that fried rice I yelled at you about a few paragraphs ago.

Combining nature and nurture, the Nakato Brothers have made this dish their own. Dubbed rather plainly as “Fried Rice” on the Pono Farm menu, this dazzling dish combines bacon, garlic, rice, bacon, shredded carrots, bacon, green onions, bacon and a mix of seasonings in a way that makes you sit back in your chair and thank God you have taste buds. There’s also kim chi for those of you who appreciate fermentation, and if you live in Bend, you know you do.

Located on the north end of town, near the Lowe’s lumber compound, the eatery’s ambience is just what you’d expect from a butchery turned bistro: simple tables and chairs, with paper towel rolls and a condiment station. The real artistry is on the plate. SW Pono Farm & Fine Meats ponofarmbend.com Follow them at Facebook/ponofarm 63595 Hunnell Rd., Bend 541-330-MEAT (6328)

Established in 2003, Taj Palace serves plenty of dishes most Indian food lovers will recognize. The restaurant’s specialty is the Southern Indian food the owners grew up eating in their home village of Velvadam in Andhra Pradesh, in the kite-shaped country’s southeast quadrant. The region is known for biryani, a layered rice dish with spices and vegetables; dosa, a thin, crispy crepe wrapped around spiced vegetables or meat; and sambal, a spicy soup/dip typically served with dosas.

Pullareddy Lakireddy, aka “Reddy,” is the face of Taj Palace and the person who is most likely to greet you when you enter the downtown Bend eatery. His wife, Nagina, works in the kitchen with her sister, Lakshmi, and a few other family members. Everyone speaks Telugu as a first language; Reddy also speaks Hindi and English.

When I arrived last Sunday, Nagina was making paneer, a mild cheese that can be fried, grilled or sautéed for use in a myriad of popular dishes including saag paneer (with spinach) and mutter paneer (with green peas in creamy sauce). She boiled whole milk, added white vinegar, and wrapped the resulting curds in a clean towel to drain and firm up in the refrigerator.

(See youtu.be/zWsCm97v5y0.)

Nagina and crew make all the curries fresh every day, starting with fried onions and tomatoes, which are blended, then spiced generously with garam masala and a ginger-garlic paste. All curries are naturally gluten-free, and the kitchen is completely peanut-free. "Many customers have serious allergies, so we want to be extremely careful," says Reddy. SW

F

or the past 10 years or so, the watchword for Central Oregon beer has been “expansion.” It’s a trend that continues apace, although it’s perhaps not so noticeable at the moment because not as many new breweries are opening. But our existing breweries are expanding like there’s no tomorrow.

So it goes, as well, for DrinkTanks, the company behind the sturdy, beer-friendly stainless steel growlers seen at area beer joints like Deschutes and Silver Moon. “When we started manufacturing, we were in a warehouse off of Century Drive (near GoodLife Brewing)”, said DrinkTanks founder Nick Hill. “After a while, it got, to say the least, pretty cramped in there. We’re now in a much larger facility, so we’ve got some breathing space to work with, which is good, because finding decent space in Bend isn’t easy.”

Extra bonus: Every DrinkTank made is assembled here in Bend. “When we started this, we made a point to keep as much of the building process local,” Hill said. “We procure parts, some custom-made, from assorted suppliers in the US, Europe and Asia, but all of the assembly takes place here, including the powder coating on the tanks and the engraving, which is done on our machines.”

It’s this engraving, perhaps, that gives DrinkTanks their premium feel. Customers can buy non-branded growlers from drinktanks.com or REI stores nationwide, but the majority of Hill’s tanks are engraved with brewery logos, from Maui Brewing in Hawaii to the Florida Keys Brewing Co. on the other end of the U.S. Hill was far too modest (or cognizant of his clientele’s varying tastes) to name his favorite beer, but “at the very least, we’ll make it easy for you to store and carry your favorite around with you.” SW

BEND’S VAPE & GLASS SHOP NE Greenwood NE Irving Ave NE 3rd St

From its origins as a Kickstarter campaign in 2013, DrinkTanks was built with one goal in mind: build a superior beer growler. Available in 64oz and 128oz sizes, the growlers feature the same grade of stainless steel used to make commercial breweries’ fermentation tanks. The double-wall insulation and vacuum seal on the top keep

cold drinks cold for 24 hours, and a keg cap set (sold separately) will help keep carbonated beer draft-fresh for up to a week. It’s not cheap compared to a regular ol’ glass growler, but the quality is incomparable. Plus, it’s guaranteed not to shatter if dropped.

Squad Goals

Can something be so bad it’s brilliant?

By Jared Rasic 93

If there is a battle between the two companies, Marvel is the easy frontrunner, not just because they’ve been at it longer, but because of the quality of filmmaking and world-building on display with each movie. As director of “Man of Steel” and “Batman v. Superman,” Zack Snyder has shepherded the DCEU with his bombastic filmmaking style, leaving the films pretty to look at but empty of anything below the surface.

After the absolute critical drubbing of “Batman v.

Superman,” eyes were on “Suicide Squad” to be the film that started steering the DCEU toward calmer waters. The first thing the film has going for it is the absence of Snyder in the director’s chair, which means it might have a sense of fun and adventure that his films lack. Director David Ayer (“Fury”) adds some color and humor to the DCEU with “Suicide Squad,” but has also made something so hilariously bad that it’s kind of amazing. This movie doesn’t save the DCEU as much as it proves that it’s one sequel away from shaving its eyebrows and yelling at people on the subway.

“Suicide Squad” tells the story of a bunch of bad guys with government-mandated explosive charges in their necks being sent on a black ops mission to save the world from an insane witch queen, her angry brother, and their army of bubble-faced soldier demons. It also introduces Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), El Diablo (Jay Hernandez) and The Joker (Jared Leto) to the DCEU. The spine of the film is Harley and her love for The Joker. She was once a psychiatrist who tried treating The Joker, only to fall in love and be physically and psychologically tortured by him. As she goes on her mission for the U.S.

government, she’s secretly waiting for Mr. J to break her out of their control so they can run off together and be abusive and insane forever. The viciousness and cruelty of Leto’s Joker means that Harley’s imagined happy ending is a very sad and disturbing one.

“Suicide Squad” is entertaining for every second of its running time, but not always for the right reasons. Smith, Robbie, Hernandez, Davis and Leto are always fun to watch, even when saddled with some of the worst dialogue from a movie since…well, since “Batman v. Superman.” The villains are straight out of the 1987 “Masters of the Universe” movie but with even less motivation and fewer interesting qualities.

The film feels like every scene that works is immediately fol-

lowed by one that doesn’t, so the entire movie feels like a cookie jar that you get slapped for reaching for.

The relationship I have to “Suicide Squad” is similar to that of the dysfunction of Harley and The Joker.

I know the movie is bad for me and isn’t remotely healthy, but it makes me laugh and maybe it understands me. Maybe if I give it another chance it’ll be better. Maybe this time it will be different. SW

FILM EVENTS

By Jared Rasic

The General

Twilight Cinema

Animal House

“The General” is one of the best silent films in history. What better way to celebrate its 90th anniversary than a screening at the Tower Theatre featuring a live musical accompaniment? Mark Orton (“Nebraska”) is a world class composer and his entirely new score for the film will only enhance what is already a close-to-perfect film. This is an event that should not be missed.

Twilight Cinema returns for two more shows in beautiful Sunriver with “The Good Dinosaur” on Aug. 12 and “Jurassic World” on Aug. 16. If you must choose between two tales of dinosaur-related mayhem, “The Good Dinosaur” is a better movie, but “Jurassic World” might inspire a few new paleontologists in the audience. Both movies are fun, so it’s really just a win/win.

Turner Classic Movies presents a one-night-only screening of 1978’s raunchy classic, “Animal House.”

Featuring one of John Belushi’s funniest performances and direction by the brilliant John Landis (“An American Werewolf in London” and “The Blues Brothers”), the time is perfect to revisit this hilarious and somewhat underestimated comedy milestone.

Ricky and Hec hide from the grownups in "Hunt for the Wilderpeople."

“H

unt For the Wilderpeople” is one of those movies that you can only describe as lovely. The script, the tone and the performances all combine to make a movie that just soars by, content to be exactly what it is and nothing more.

The film tells the story of Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison), an orphaned city kid with anger issues who is sent by child welfare to live with foster parents in the country on the edge of the New Zealand bush. His new foster parents, Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and Hec (Sam Neill), are a childless couple content to work their ranch in relative seclusion.

“Wilderpeople” bucks the trend early on by having Ricky grow to love Bella fairly quickly while Hec keeps his emotional and physical distance. Watching Ricky finally have a mother who cares for him is incredibly affecting and gives what is otherwise a fairly lighthearted story some dramatic and emotional heft.

Just as soon as things start feeling safe and secure for Ricky, Bella passes away and he is stuck with Hec, a man not ready or willing to be a father to the boy. Ricky decides to run away (faking his own death and accidentally burning down the barn in the process), causing Hec to follow him deep into the New Zealand bush. When child services and the police see the burnt barn and discover Hec and Ricky missing, they think Hec went crazy with grief, kidnapped the kid, and escaped into the wilderness. A massive manhunt ensues.

Writer/Director Taika Waititi (“What We Do In the Shadows” and the upcoming “Thor: Ragnarok”) loves these characters and spends every minute of

the runtime making us love them even more. Ricky and Hec journey deeper into the wilderness and meet different oddballs and misfits, all of which become memorable and important to the arc of our central duo.

This structure makes the film somewhat episodic, but it really fits a story that basically boils down to a comingof-age tale for teenagers and older folk alike. The movie is told in 10 chapters, some lasting only a couple of minutes, lending the story a feeling of a fable being told to a group of kids. The darkness throughout the film feels like that of a Disney movie, where even when something bad happens there is always hope and light further down the path.

Dennison and Neill are great together, with their chemistry selling a relationship built on pain, distrust and gradual affection. Their hunt for a sense of freedom is a powerful thematic device and framework for a movie built on the strength of individual scenes. Whether they find their freedom isn’t the point as much as their journey along the way.

“Hunt For the Wilderpeople” is a fun trip along a mildly predictable road, but the characters are so delightful that you’ll follow them anywhere. The film plays with our desires to run into the unknown and explore the world on our own terms without an opinion on whether it’s inherently smart or not. Freedom is never as simple as it appears; it’s only as simple as we make it. SW "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" Dir. Taika Waititi Grade: ANow playing at Tin Pan Theater

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic NINE LIVES: Read in the voice of the

niest movie in the world, but “Bad Moms” sports a phenomenal cast and the writers of the original “Hangover,” so maybe it’s worth more of a chance. Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Kathryn Hahn star as a trio of overworked moms who snap and decide to binge on just about any damn thing they choose. It’s an original idea for a flick, so let's hope the script is stronger than the trailers. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

cheesy trailer announcer guy: Kevin Spacey plays a workaholic businessman who never has time for his family. When he remembers his daughter’s birthday at the last second, he buys her a new fluffy feline friend. After getting into a car accident on the way home, Spacey’s personality is transFURRed into the kitty and all kinds of shenanigans ensue. As the cranky dad becomes his family’s new pet, he’ll truly see how important his loved ones really are. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CAFE SOCIETY: Woody Allen strikes again, this time with a period piece set in 1930’s Hollywood. Jesse Eisenberg (the perfect stand-in for Allen) plays a young man who moves from the Bronx to Los Angeles and falls in love with a beautiful woman and the high society nightclub life.

The trailer is absolutely fantastic and it looks like Woody Allen might actually be engaging with his material again. If separating the art from the artist is your bag, this one most definitely looks worth the time.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

movie manages to be fun and thought-provoking at the same time. “Beyond” plays like a two-hour episode of the TV show, as the crew is split up and forced to fight a new alien menace determined to destroy them all. Even with moments of darkness, Justin Lin’s direction keeps the film fastpaced and fluid, making this easily the most enjoyable film of the franchise so far. Old Mill Stadium 16

SUICIDE SQUAD: Because DC Films

A delinquent city kid raised in foster care heads out to the wilds of the New Zealand countryside for a fresh start. After trying to settle down, the young man runs away to hide in the wilderness, only to be found by his caretaker Hec (Sam Neill). They’ll have to survive the harsh terrain, incredibly stupid cops and a few bears in order to make it back to safety. From the director of “What We Do in the Shadows” comes a new movie that might be the most fun you’ll have in a theater all year. See full review, p 38. Tin Pan Theater

has been having a rough year with their complete critical failure of “Batman v. Superman,” many eyes are on “Suicide Squad” as the film that can help right the shared universe’s ship. With Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker, the star power is there, but early reviews say it’s another incomprehensible mess. The trailer is fast and fun, so hopefully all the negativity is based on superhero fatigue instead of the outright awfulness of the film. See full review, p 37.

ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE: This fifth entry in the “Ice Age” franchise follows Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Scrat and the rest of the crew as they deal with an asteroid shower.

SWISS ARMY MAN: This movie is, with-

and he remembers everything. Which means that he remembers his name is David Webb now, but I guess that doesn’t carry the same weight as “Jason Bourne.”

This new addition to the franchise sees the return of Matt Damon (after the failure of Jeremy Renner to take over the franchise).

Bourne learns new information about his past and fights with new faceless government agents to...remember even more stuff he forgot? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

for this film isn’t the best, as most of the marketing campaign is focusing on women as damsels in distress and Tarzan as a white savior helping the indigenous. Director David Yates knocked the last few “Harry Potter” movies out of the park, so hopefully his experienced eye will also bring some subtlety to a story that might not play very well in 2016. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

of the best horror films of 2016 for the simple reason that it is actually scary. A ghost/ demon that can only be seen in the dark starts stalking a family in disturbing and escalating ways. The film also has a lot to say about mental illness and familial relationships. It does work best as a jump-delivery system, so those with heart trouble should avoid this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

NERVE: This is basically a teen riff on David Fincher’s excellent “The Game.”

Lil’ Franco and Emma Roberts are both contestants in a game of Dare played over social media across New York. As they get further in the game, the stakes get higher and the dares get deadlier. While the film is entertaining in fits and spurts, it’s also quite the sloppy mess that has one of the more disappointing conclusions of the year.

The film is a giant missed opportunity all around. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

OUTSIDE Fire in the Sky

Where to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower

GO HERE

Wanderlust’s stargazing tour starts at $85 per guest, and includes desserts from Sparrow Bakery and hot cocoa. wanderlusttours.com/perseids

Fight the Light Amateur stargazers who try to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower from town will have a tough time seeing much, thanks to light pollution.

“Light pollution is any sort of light that isn’t covered that’s going to be illuminating the night sky,” said Sunriver Observatory’s Tandy.

Oregon Observatory at Sunriver staff member, Grant Tandy, took these two photos of the same section of night sky—one from east Bend and one from the Observatory—to illustrate the drastic effects of light pollution.

T

hroughout this month, the sky might look brighter than usual, thanks to the Perseid Meteor Shower. The annual astral event is caused by the Earth’s passage through the debris stream of the Comet Swift-Tuttle. Thanks to a little extra gravity from Jupiter pulling on the comet, this year’s meteor shower is expected to be one of the strongest in decades, according to NASA. The Perseids can be seen until Aug. 21, and they’ll hit their peak Friday, Aug. 12, with estimates of 100-200 meteors per hour.

According to Diane Martin, president of the Eugene Astronomical Society, “The best time to see them will be between one and four in the morning because the moon will have gone down, which will make it that much darker,” said Diane Martin, president of the EAS. “So take a nap, and then go out.”

For the best experience, Martin suggested leaving town. “If you can get out of the city, that’s your best bet. Even five miles out,” she said. “You just need to get to a place where it’s dark and (where there is) not as much glow from the city.”

Locally, Sunriver Observatory and Pine Mountain Observatory offer ideal viewing locations.

Sunriver Observatory The nonprofit Sunriver Observatory, which is home to 11 telescopes, will host a handful of night viewings during the week, from 9 to 11pm. Staff Member Grant Tandy said the observatory staff will be on hand during the Perseids to provide visitors with “astronomical interpretations.”

“It’s sort of an unguided tour. You can go around to different telescopes. We do a presentation early in the night, and then a constellation tour,” he said. “Between all that, you can walk around, look at the night sky, and we’ll probably start seeing more and more meteors around 10:30pm. It’s a lot of fun to get a whole crowd that roars as a fireball flies by.” Night viewings cost $8 for children and $10 for adults. oregonobservatory.org

Meteor Shower Canoe Tour Going even farther out of the city, Bendites can experience the Perseids from a canoe during one of Wanderlust Tours’ summer starlight canoe trips.

Several regular tours fall during the Perseids’ peak, and owner Dave Nissen said it’s one of the best ways to view the meteor shower.

“When you get to a place where there are no human-generated lights, that’s

While the phenomenon can cause a list of problems—a recent New York Times article attributed disrupted ecosystems, poor sleeping habits, and excessive energy costs to light pollution—the main issue astronomers encounter is skyglow, a form of light pollution typically caused by artificial lights in populated areas.

“It mainly affects your ability to see big objects, like galaxies, nebulas and star clusters. You can still see the planets pretty well in Bend, but it can be tough to see the Milky Way here at night,” Tandy said.

Deschutes County passed a light ordinance in 1994 to help curb light pollution. According to the ordinance, all private and commercial light fixtures that use bulbs brighter than 120 watts must be shielded and directed downward. Enforcing the ordinance is important, but home and business owners can help by being mindful of their light usage, Tandy said.

“A lot of it is unnecessary. People just leave their lights on without even thinking about it,” he said.

According to a recent National Geographic article, in 80 percent of the planet’s land areas, residents currently can’t see the Milky Way due to light pollution. Luckily, Bend and Central Oregon are part of the 20 percent minority, but, Tandy says, “If we don’t realize that we need to preserve that, it may be that we can’t see the Milky Way at all.” SW

Why count butterflies?

Pretty pollinators play a key role in ecosystems

By Jim Anderson 99 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 32 / August 11, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

O

ver the last couple of months, my wife, Sue—a long-time member of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) and student of the beauty and ecology of butterflies—has conducted several butterfly counts in the region. She counts them because their numbers are vital to knowing what’s going on in our world, and she loves to teach kids about them.

NABA, which has been running the Butterfly Count Program in the United States, Canada, and Mexico since 1993, asks its local chapters to conduct counts in their area, then consolidates all the data. Each of the approximately 450 counts consists of a compilation of all butterflies observed at sites within a 15mile diameter count circle in a one-day period.

The annually published reports provide a tremendous amount of information about the geographical distribution and relative population sizes of the species counted. Comparisons of the results across years can be used to monitor changes in butterfly populations and study the effects of weather and habitat conditions on North American butterflies.

Why? Because if butterflies suddenly vanish from an area where they have been living for years it’s like setting off a fire alarm when you smell smoke.

Butterflies are one of the best environmental indicators of how things are going here on Mother Earth.

On Wednesday, June 22, Sue started her 25th count season by traveling to the Big Summit Prairie area of the Ochocos with a crew of butterfly experts from the Eugene Chapter of NABA, along with their friends and families.

Yvette Orsillo of Bend and her three children have been taking part in the NABA counts ever since they began; she has often said it’s the most wonderful way to begin her summers. Her two daughters, who attended the counts all through their elementary and high school years, have gone out into the world to make their own way, but her teenage son, Jimmy (who was carried in a chest pack on his first count), still comes, bringing his pals with him.

Butterflies are found on every continent but Antarctica, and the U.S. is home to more than 700 species of these beautiful pollinators. Butterflies play a vital role in a variety of ecosystems, as

pollinators and a food source for other species, and as important connectors in every healthy ecosystem web. While they may not be as efficient as bees, butterflies do their part.

Over 90 percent of all plants need a pollinator to reproduce, and as bee populations drop, the role of the butterfly becomes even more vital.

A case in point is the move to increase Monarch butterfly populations in an effort to save the species, and at the same time keep them off the Endangered Species List. As just about everyone knows, Monarch numbers have dropped from the billions to the millions. Establishing Monarch way stations with major plantings of local milkweed (the ONLY plant species Monarch caterpillars can feed on) is already beginning to help.

The World Wildlife Fund and other organizations have determined that the loss of the milkweed plant is the main reason for the drastic drop in numbers. Iowa—a state that once produced Monarch butterflies by the

millions because of the abundant native milkweed—has placed their shrinking milkweed populations on the threatened species list.

Butterflies also provide assistance for genetic variation in the plant species they collect nectar from. Many species of butterfly—such as the migrating Monarch—travel over long distances, which allows pollen to be shared across groups of plants that are far apart from one another. This helps plants to be more resilient against disease and gives them a better chance at survival.

Butterflies also act as a lower member of the food chain. Most provide a hearty meal for a number of animals, including predatory insects, spiders, birds, and mice—all of which are vital parts of every ecosystem.

Like bees, butterfly populations are susceptible to pesticides. To help them survive, we can cultivate milkweed and other nectar plants in our gardens and avoid using pesticides in our yards.

After compiling the Ochoco Count and sending the data to NABA, Sue and I

were off the next week to Lava Beds National Monument in Northern California, which Sue started back in the 1990s. This year’s count yielded more than 45 species observed, including 530 Small Wood Nymphs, 490+ Variable Checkerspots, and 289 Becker’s Whites.

However, everyone on the count was disappointed that no one spotted a single Great Spangled Fritillaries or Mourning Cloak, and most troubling aspect was the low count of 41 Monarchs, the monument’s most important species.

If you want to know more about butterflies, pick up “Butterflies of Cascadia” by Bob Pyle, or the brand new guidebook by local author LeeAnn Kriegh, “The Nature of Bend,” which was reviewed recently in the Source Weekly. SW

Why Isn’t Inventory Increasing?

T

Housing transactions are typically double-ended, which means most homebuyers are selling existing homes and buying new homes, so the sale also adds to inventory. The increase in first time homebuyers and investors purchasing real estate increases the sales volume, but because these buyers do not have to sell another property prior to purchasing, they are adding to sales volume, but not to inventory. This is

a significant reason for the inventory shortage, coupled with other reasons such as the current state of the economy, tighter lending standards, and the fact that many homeowners cannot yet afford to sell their current homes and purchase a new home because they do not yet have enough equity to make such a move. This is often an overlooked area with regard to analyzing the inventory levels.

The lower end of our local market is very tight and these homes are typically purchased by first time homebuyers.

I have noticed how the prices for the low end of the market have steadily increased over the past few months. The national sales data is showing there is a stronger presence of first time homebuyers, and this is likely to continue for a while. This will keep inventory levels low and—coupled with lower interest rates—will translate to continued rising home prices.

ASTROLOGY

ADVICE GODDESS Look On The Always Right Side

—Peaceful Why not take this to the next level and get an inflatable girlfriend? You wouldn’t need to feed her, and you could save big on travel if you’d just let the air out of her, fold her up, and stuff her in your carry-on.

This actually might make some sense.

After all, conflict is bad, right? Well, not exactly. It turns out that there’s good conflict and there’s bad conflict. Bad conflict involves the stuff of “ugly arguments”—sneering, mocking, and getting up on moral high ground…just so you can shoulder-check the other person off the edge. Good conflict, on the other hand, involves getting (and giving) healthy pushback—which means being what Nassim Taleb calls “antifragile.”

In “Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder,” risk researcher Taleb, a former derivatives trader, explains that antifragile is “the exact opposite of fragile”—but it goes beyond “resilience or robustness.”

Antifragile describes the way living things are improved by stressors—becoming better, stronger, and more able to cope with difficult, unpredictable stuff that comes their way.

Beyond how being challenged improves you as a person, marriage researcher John Gottman finds that the happiest, most stable relationships are those in which husbands accept “influence” from wives, making wives “far less likely” to go ugly in disagreements. This starts with what Gottman calls “deep friendship”—love between two equals with mutual respect, not one person who can’t believe his luck at finding another who, intellectually and emotionally, is basically a zygote with boobs.

Of course, this woman’s silent partner thing may just be a feature of her being 21. Increasingly, 21 is the new, oh, 8 and a half. Kids are, as Taleb might say, raised “fragile”—helicopter-parented to encounter as few stressors as possible and then bubble-wrapped off to college for more of the same. Universities, formerly centers of free speech and free inquiry, now have speech codes so nobody gets hurt feelz and have “trigger warnings” about course material, lest someone suffer emotional

Still, even these kids have to grow up sometime—which is to say, your girlfriend could begin to have opinions and get a little miffy that you have a heartfelt interest in, um, never, ever hearing them. Your welcoming opinions and influence from a partner—this woman or a more challenging (but still loving and good-natured) woman—starts with having humility, which those frail of ego tend to see as a sign of weakness. The truth is, it takes a strong person to admit that he may be wrong and maybe doesn’t know everything in the known universe (and any yet-to-bediscovered galaxies). Should this come to describe you, you might start to see the appeal of a woman with more to say than those “three little words”—“Uh-huh. Uhhuh. Uh-huh.”

Height Crime My new boyfriend is sweet, successful, and handsome, and he rocks my world in bed. The problem? I’m 5‘8”, and he’s 5’6”.

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I’m just not that attracted to him when he’s standing up.

—Shallow Women like things that are tiny and cute, so it’s been kind of a trend to go around with a little dog poking out of your purse.

Sadly, dressing your itsy-bitsy boyfriend in a sailor shirt and sunglasses and tossing him in your handbag has yet to catch on.

Okay, 5’6” isn’t exactly itsy-bitsy—but it might as well be to you. Your preference for taller men—which biological anthropologist Boguslaw Pawlowski finds 89 percent of women have—didn’t come out of nowhere. Tallness in a man suggests an ability to protect a woman and is associated with social status and access to resources. It also suggests good genes, because ancestors who weren’t starving to death and riddled with parasites would have had the metabolic resources to put toward growing tall.

People say looks shouldn’t matter—which doesn’t for a moment change the fact that they do. Clearly, shortness is a deal breaker for you. This doesn’t make you “shallow.”

It makes you somebody who should stop dating short guys—ideally before you blurt out your true feelings in bed: “Grow, Bradley!…I mean, ‘Oh...Bradley!’”

sake of fun argument, that you do indeed have a guardian angel. Even if you have steadfastly ignored this divine helper in the past, I’m asking you to strike up a close alliance in the coming weeks. If you need to engage in an elaborate game of imaginative pretending to make it happen, so be it. Now let me offer a few tips about your guardian angel’s potential purposes in your life: providing sly guidance about how to take good care of yourself; quietly reminding you where your next liberation may lie; keeping you on track to consistently shed the past and head toward the future; and kicking your ass so as to steer you away from questionable influences. OK? Now go claim your sublime assistance!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Although you may not yet be fully aware of your good fortune, your “rescue” is already underway.

Furthermore, the so-called hardship you’ve been lamenting will soon lead you to a trick you can use to overcome one of your limitations. Maybe best of all, Virgo, a painful memory you have coddled for a long time has so thoroughly decayed that there’s almost nothing left to cling to. Time to release it! So what comes next? Here’s what I recommend: Throw a going-away party for everything you no longer need. Give thanks to the secret intelligence within you that has guided you to this turning point.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here comes a special occasion—a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced? For a brief grace period, you can be free from your pressing obsessions. Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace.

You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole. Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming weeks, I suspect that Life will attempt to move you away from any influences that interfere with your ability to discern and express your soul’s code. You know what I’m talking about when I use that term “soul’s code,” right? It’s your sacred calling; the blueprint of your destiny; the mission you came to earth to fulfill. So what does it mean if higher powers and mysterious forces are clearing away obstacles that have been preventing you from a more complete embodiment of your soul’s code? Expect a breakthrough that initially resembles a breakdown.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Maybe you know people who flee from the kind of Big Bold Blankness that’s visiting you, but I hope you won’t be tempted to do that. Here’s my counsel: Welcome your temporary engagement with emptiness Celebrate this opening into the unknown. Ease into the absence.

Commune with the vacuum. Ask the nothingness to be your teacher. What’s the payoff? This is an opportunity to access valuable secrets about the meaning of your life that aren’t available when you’re feeling full. Be gratefully receptive to what you don’t understand and can’t control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I placed a

wager down at the astrology pool. I bet that sometime in the next three weeks, you Capricorns will shed at least some of the heavy emotional baggage that you’ve been lugging around; you will transition from ponderous plodding to curious-hearted sauntering.

Why am I so sure this will occur? Because I have detected a shift in attitude by one of the most talkative little voices in your head.

It seems ready to stop tormenting you with cranky reminders of all the chores you should be doing but aren’t—and start motivating you with sunny prompts about all the fun adventures you could be pursuing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What you are most afraid of right now could become what

fuels you this fall. Please note that I used the word “could.” In the style of astrology I employ, there is no such thing as predestination.

So if you prefer, you may refuse to access the rich fuel that’s available. You can keep your scary feelings tucked inside your secret hiding place, where they will continue to fester. You are not obligated to deal with them squarely, let alone find a way to use them as motivation. But if you are intrigued by the possibility that those murky worries might become a source of inspiration, dive in and investigate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you ready for your mid-term exam? Luckily I’m here to help get you into the proper frame of mind to do well. Now study the following incitements with an air of amused rebelliousness. 1. You may have to act a bit wild or unruly in order to do the right thing. 2. Loving your enemies could motivate your allies to give you more of what you need. 3. Are you sufficiently audacious to explore the quirky happiness that can come from cultivating intriguing problems? 4. If you want people to change, try this: Change yourself in the precise way you want them to change.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Using scissors, snip off a strand of your hair. As you do, sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Seal the hair in an envelope on which you have written the following: “I am attracting divine prods and unpredictable nudges that will enlighten me about a personal puzzle that I am ready to solve.” On each of the next five nights, kiss this package five times and place it beneath your pillow as you sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Then observe your dreams closely. Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fifth night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle. Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This would be a good time to have a master craftsperson decorate your headquarters with stained glass windows that depict the creation stories of your favorite indigenous culture.

You might also benefit from hiring a feng shui consultant to help you design a more harmonious home environment. Here are some cheaper but equally effective ways to promote domestic bliss: Put images of your heroes on your walls. Throw out stuff that makes you feel cramped. Add new potted plants to calm your eyes and nurture your lungs. If you’re feeling especially experimental, build a shrine devoted to the Goddess of Ecstatic Nesting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You Geminis are as full of longings as any other sign, but you have a tendency to downplay their intensity.

How often do you use your charm and wit to cloak your burning, churning yearnings?

Please don’t misunderstand me: I appreciate your refined expressions of deep feelings— as long as that’s not a way to hide your deep feelings from yourself. This will be an especially fun and useful issue for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I advise you to be in very close touch with your primal urges.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be vulnerable and sensitive as well as insatiable and irreverent. Cultivate your rigorous skepticism, but expect the arrival of at least two freaking miracles. Be extra nurturing to allies who help you and sustain you, but also be alert for those moments when they may benefit from your rebellious provocations. Don’t take anything too personally or literally or seriously, even as you treat the world as a bountiful source of gifts and blessings. Be sure to regard love as your highest law, and laugh at fear at least three times every day.

I’m a Harvard-educated man in my late 30s. I’ve had many ugly arguments with girlfriends, probably because I am highly opinionated and won’t give in when I’m right. I’ve always dated smart, professional women around my age, but I’m now dating a 21-year-old girl, and I’m thinking this could be it. She doesn’t complain, bug me, or question or challenge me.

It strikes me that having a partner who challenges you is overrated. Could this be a lifelong relationship? Can’t I just pursue intellectual discussions elsewhere?

In the old Trax building next to Stars Cabaret

L

ast week, Smoke Signals shared the story of Devontre Thomas, a 19-year old member of the Warm Springs Tribe. Last year, Thomas was a student at Chemawa Indian School in Salem when one of his classmates alleged that a very small amount of cannabis found in his backpack was supplied by Thomas. After hearing the allegations, U.S. Attorney for Oregon Billy J. Williams decided that the best course of action was to charge Thomas with a federal crime that could result in the young man spending a year in jail and losing federal benefits such as student grants and loans.

Defendants in Thomas’ situation typically plead guilty and enter a “diversion program” involving counseling and drug testing rather than time in a federal penitentiary. But Thomas did not back down and instead insisted on taking the case to trial. “If we’re making a federal case out of it, we’ll make a federal case out of it,” said his lawyer at his pretrial hearing.

Unlike so many similar cases in the past, people spoke up about the injustice they perceived. The media quickly noted that Thomas is the first person to be charged with a federal cannabis crime in Oregon in nearly five years and that, because of the quirks of current cannabis law, it is very unlikely that a non-Native American would have been criminally charged under similar circumstances.

Three of Oregon’s Democratic members of Congress spoke up as well. Rep. Earl Blumenauer and Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley sent a letter to Williams basically asking whether his decision to prosecute Thomas was really in the public interest. Their

letter reads in part: "With heroin, methamphetamines, and opioids causing widespread harm to people across the state, your office has substantial drug enforcement priorities, other than the prosecution of simple marijuana possession crimes. …(Y)our office retains prosecutorial discretion in expending scarce legal resources in pursuit of those priorities that will make the biggest difference to Oregonians. …There are opportunity costs in choosing to prosecute low level marijuana crimes rather than targeting criminal activity linked to violence.

In particular, we have concerns with any approach that fails to take into account the devastating effects that marijuana possession convictions have on future employment and education prospects for those who are convicted, especially for a substance that has been decriminalized in Oregon since 1973.

Fighting dangerous drug crimes and reducing the prevalence of these drugs and their effects should be the priority of your office."

In response, Williams caved. He agreed to drop the charge if Thomas keeps a job and does not commit a crime for 60 days. Thomas’ lawyer called it a “fair resolution of the case,” and Williams’ office had no comment.

As is so often the case, Rep. Blumenauer said what so many Oregonians were thinking: “While I am pleased to see the U.S. Attorney drop the charges, …

I’m still concerned that (Mr. Williams) thought it was worth prosecuting in the first place.” As Blumenauer implies, prosecutions like this one remain possible until federal cannabis law changes.
