OPINION

An elected mayor can provide cultural and ethical leadership.

A

mong the many reasons that Bend is in dire need of changes to its City Charter, here’s another one.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / August 31, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

4

At an Aug. 16 City Council meeting, Bend City Councilor Barb Campbell asked fellow councilors to come together to send a letter of support to the city council in Charlottesville, Va., following the Aug. 12 protests that left one woman dead. In some cities, this is a no-brainer—it’s a simple gesture that can help communicate a message for the community sending the letter, a reiteration of the community’s values, if you will. In this case, the wider City Council rejected the idea as superfluous and not in line with its mission to focus on “core services.”

We acknowledge that the City Council has a great deal on its plate in terms of managing and planning for core services. The job of a city council does indeed lie in mundane duties that in Bend include implementing a growth plan consistent with community goals, improving road conditions, increasing affordable housing options, keeping residents safe and modernizing and professionalizing how city government operates—items the current council has identified as its goals and objectives for the 2017-19 session.

Yet, a city also needs a leader who can help set the value baseline for its community. That person should be a directly-elected mayor.

If Bend had a publicly-elected mayor instead of one chosen by fellow councilors, his or her values would be clearly stated and understood through the

campaign process, and through his or her continued visibility in the community. From that, the mayor would be able to skip over the groupthink and pen a letter of support like the one Campbell suggested, while leaving the council to focus on core services.

All communities need leaders who can set the tone, interpret and share their values with the wider world. This is a function of government. If you don’t believe that political leaders set a tone, simply look at what’s happening right now on the national stage.

And let’s not overlook how councilor pay fits into the current situation in Bend. City councilors who are already basically donating their time to lead the city may be less tolerant of spending time on cultural matters than councilors who are adequately paid to do their jobs. When councilors are beleaguered

by Bend’s problems and compensated poorly, it’s natural to want to stick to the basics. But governance is more than road repair. Being a role model for a community is also a “core service.”

Let’s elect a leader who can set that tone for our community.

Thankfully, city leaders are moving forward on changes to the city charter. The newly-formed Charter Review Committee began meeting in early August and is already tackling the issue of a directly-elected mayor. Should you have an opinion on this, attend the meetings, or visit the city’s Charter Review Committee page to learn more about why these changes are crucial for Bend. SW

IN RESPONSE TO, “MIRROR POND TO DREDGE OR NOT TO DREDGE, THAT’S THE $6.6 MILLION QUESTION”(8/16) To quibble a bit with the fine investigative piece on dredging Mirror Pond, “Mirror Pond: To Dredge or Not to Dredge” cites a Nov. 2016 City of Bend survey, but leaves out an important finding. While it is true that 60 percent of respondents said it was extremely important to “ensure that historic aesthetic and iconic pond views are maintained,” 77 percent of the same sample felt it extremely important to provide improved water quality, river banks and wildlife habitat.”

Can we have healthy river conditions AND keep the dam and pond?

A sizeable portion of the public seems to think so, despite evidence to the contrary.

Kudos to the City of Bend for producing the only statistically accurate survey ever done on

IN RESPONSE TO, SMOOTH AND SEAMLESS, HEAVY ECLIPSE PLANNING PAYS OFF (8/23) Planning ahead is a heck of lot better than being caught short. The Central Oregon Emergency site was a big help for fire and eclipse updates.

It’s good to know that the counties can

plan, coordinate and share together for any big event, or catastrophe. Central Oregon rocked the event and information!

— Angela Carmen I think Wednesday or Thursday night there was a big freak out about gas and food on Facebook. I decided to go get some gas for one vehicle then and the other in the morning. I was awake so no biggie.

Left my house at 11pm from Boyd Acres

by Cooley Road. Drove to Business 97 all the way down to Third Street and down past Walmart and every gas station was closed with cones in front of the pumps. I took this to mean they were out of gas. When I arrived at the AM/PM there were 60-70+ cars lined up for gas.

I wasn’t overly concerned but decided to wait anyways. It took an hour to gas up and there were more people there when I left at 1am than when I arrived. That was the only crazy moment in the whole week of the eclipse.

A manufactured Facebook frenzy.

I’m actually really proud of the planning done by Central Oregon emergency services.

Multiple hippie festivals focused on a major celestial event and not a single reported case of human sacrifice.

Good job, everyone!

The first time I came to Bend over 20 years ago it was love at first sight. I knew this was the place that I belong. The place that felt like home. Not many people get to find that place in their lifetime, but I did.

I lived in Oregon, moved to California (due to my husband's job) and now I’m back.

During my time living in CA, I continued to come to Bend as much as possible, including renting houses and living here in the summertime. You do what you have to do to be where you love. I still love Bend and now live here full time (a dream come true).

This summer I am saddened by the anti-tourist/anti “out of state” antics that I’ve witnessed here. The other day I finished a run and found on my car a note that said “Welcome to Oregon, now go home.” Yes I still have CA plates on my car, but I AM home.

I noticed that all the other cars in the lot with out of state plates had the same note.

I get that people are upset by the growth of Bend and the lack of high paying jobs and affordable housing. I’m a victim of this too.

But this person (or people) doesn’t know my story, or other people’s story. They ASSUME that we are all tourists and/or rich transplants and are telling us we should leave.

It was heartbreaking to me.

In the 20 plus years that I’ve been coming here, I’ve never witnessed such contempt. I’ve always bragged about how friendly Bend is, how it is such an amazing, welcoming place.

I still think Bend is amazing and I love living here. Whomever the person or group is that is going around with these messages, I urge you to think twice about what you are doing. It is unkind and sending the wrong message.

I‘m not going to let you get me down.

I know I belong here. Home is where your heart is and my heart lives in Bend.

O

ne night last week, I suddenly started pouring sweat, heart pounding, as I fell off my couch. It was the beginning of a high-fever, five-day stomach flu. To paraphrase Joan Didion, it was not an unreasonable response to the summer of 2017.

I’ve been thinking about Didion a lot, especially “Slouching Toward Bethlehem,” her piece from 50 years ago, a report on some of the lost children of the Summer of Love and also an extended meditation on William Butler Yeats’ poem, “The Second Coming.”

The line connecting Yeats to Didion to us: The center cannot hold.

The election should have shown us that clearly. The majority lost and we elected an authoritarian entirely uninterested in compromise.

Some of the president’s most prominent supporters on the far right think of their movement as countercultural. Paul Joseph Watson, a British YouTube twit turned Alex Jones acolyte, even sells swag sporting the phrase, “Conservatism is the New Counter Culture.”

He’s not entirely wrong. As Watson points out, he’s not talking about Mitch McConnell, but the likes of him and Milo Yiannopoulos and Cassandra Fairbanks, who also writes about conservatism as the new punk. Even Mike Flynn is a surfer.

This so-called counterculture of pseudo-journalists is trying hard not to be called “alt-right”—the moniker was coined

by Depeche Klan clown Richard Spencer— because the Unite the Right rally Spencer was supposed to speak at gave this counterculture its Altamont.

“Stones Concert Ends It: America Now up for Grabs,” read the headline in the Berkeley Tribe in December 1969, following the massive Rolling Stones concert where Hells Angels, who were supposed to be security, killed a young African-American man named Meredith Hunter.

When James Alex Fields slammed his car into a crowd of celebratory Antifa protesters marching through Charlottesville after the racists had been largely routed, killing Heather Heyer, he changed the American right in ways they don’t understand—just as the Hells Angels murder changed the left of that era. It destroyed their counterculture, releasing and magnifying its most violent elements and revealing its essence.

It was a tragically clarifying moment, and #45 has decided where he stands. He erases every measured statement read from a teleprompter with an unhinged rant about how they are trying to take our heritage away when statues of white supremacists are taken down.

He sees the battle as one not between Democrats and Republicans, but between the alt-right—the deplorables and Nazis and the guys wearing white khakis and polos and the new right media frat pack counterculture crew, all led by

Baynard Woods

himself—and the “alt-left”—Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and maybe he hates journalists enough to throw us in there, too.

Americans might have been surprised to see Nazis in America, but anyone who was ever involved in a punk scene knew about Nazis. There were always skinheads around.

And often punks to kick their asses.

That’s essentially what Antifa is— punks getting stuff done. They do Food Not Bombs to feed the homeless. They offer court support to political prisoners and work as street medics during protests.

“If it hadn’t been for the antifascists protecting us from the neofascists, we would have been crushed like cockroaches,” Cornel West said, noting that the “police didn’t do anything in terms of protecting the people of the community, the clergy.”

One reason that the cops didn’t do anything: They were guarding the windows of the shops flanking Emancipation Park. The cops, it seems, were more worried about Antifa than the alt-right. Because sometimes some of them also break windows.

More than 200 people were arrested in an anti-fascist and anti-capitalist black bloc protest on Inauguration Day after some people in the group smashed the windows of several multinational corporations.

Many find it hard to sympathize with people who smash things, thinking people should be punished for that kind of stuff— without quite realizing how it is that the government is charging 200 people for breaking the same windows.

But the District of Columbia’s chief judge made a ruling on Aug. 24 that may make the broader left more sympathetic toward the J20 defendants.

“You are providing all the data to the government,” Chief Judge Robert Morin said to lawyers for DreamHost, the web registrar that hosted disruptj20.org. They were fighting against a warrant that would allow the government to take all of the contents of that site—and any emails associated with it.

“It appears that what the government is saying is that just because it is under the same domain, they can use one search warrant to obtain content from numerous specific email accounts,” said Raymond Aghaian, a lawyer for DreamHost, who likened it to searching all Gmail accounts with a single warrant.

A lot more people go online than will ever be arrested at a protest—and no one likes the idea of giving the government a list of people who have visited a site opposed to the president.

If the larger left can embrace Antifa and Black Lives Matter, instead of being scared of its own most vital elements and rushing toward the center, it may have some sort of chance. The center cannot hold. SW @baynardwoods on Twitter. Tips to baynard@democracyincrisis.com

Displacing the Displaced

Redmond’s homeless find blockades to encampments. Deschutes County says it’s a “land-use” issue; COID plans to sell parcel for a reported $8 million.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 35 / August 31, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

L

arge boulders or physical gates sit at the head of two main roads leading to a swath of land on the outskirts of Redmond. A notice, posted on Aug. 15, explains to the people camping on the nearby land that the barriers are there to block vehicular access to the area.

For years, people have been camping on the land, east of Redmond, owned

by Deschutes County (2,000 acres), Central Oregon Irrigation District (200 acres) and the Redmond School Board (50 acres)—but those residents will soon be gone, if the landowners get their way.

“The goal is to have the land vacated by October 31,” said James Lewis, Deschutes County’s property manager. “We are aware this is a highly sensitive issue and are therefore giving extra time to let them vacate.”

The homeless population in the area has visibly grown throughout the past few years, according to volunteers who hand out water and propane each Monday.

“I have no idea where I’ll go,” says Art, a camper of three years, “or how I’ll get there since my RV isn’t registered, has out-of-state plates and I don’t have a valid driver’s license. I don’t have the money to make it legal and I’ll lose everything if I get impounded.”

“At the end of the day, this is a landuse issue,” says Lewis. “There’s a point at which the impacts are so great to the land, that some action needed to be taken. We’ve received complaints for numerous years from the public and they have just the same right to use this public land...It’s not a one-size-fits-all solutionbut this solution was the best idea.”

Lewis says the landowners decided to move forward, even after media pushback when the notice became public a few days early. “We spoke with and heard from multiple people including the Redmond Police Chief, Homeless Leadership Coalition, the City of Redmond, Bureau of Land Management and COID.” Lewis speaks not only of the prohibited long-term camping, but also of illegal dumping that he says has rampantly risen in the area in recent years.

“You’ll see couches, washing machines, you name it, it’s out there,” he asserts.

“And it’s not just the illegal dumping, but wood cutting and widespread firearm discharging. There’s a real fire and public safety issue out there.”

Two Sides to Every Story “Firearms? What firearms? Most of us are felons and can’t own firearms,” argues Sharon, a two-year inhabitant on COID land. “Even if we did own a firearm, we would pawn it or sell it to survive.” She disputes the notion that the homeless population is contributing to shooting and dumping reports.

“Most of us don’t have a car or drive. So do they think we’re packing mattresses on our back? Or rolling our tires to our imaginary cars? That’s the general public and we’re getting lumped in. We’ve been respectful.”

Still, Lewis says regardless of who it is, blocking vehicular access would stem the flow of garbage. “Ultimately all of those activities are tied to vehicular access to the property,” he said.

“They’ve been lying since the beginning,” says Sharon. “They said they wouldn’t start until August 15 and they started blocking everything a week early.” She taps her foot against a large dusty boulder now blocking a route that was once easy to navigate. The trails on these lands are dusty and sandy; filled with large ruts.

When I traveled to the encampment on Aug. 25, in a jeep driven by powerhouse volunteer Margaret King, we nearly became stuck several times.

“How will these people get out?” King worries. “We can barely get out here in a four-wheel.”

Volunteers who have been working with the population for three years are pleading with COID and the county to reopen routes on certain dates in order to facilitate a smoother exit—though no such plan has been put in place.

“Some of these guys need tow trucks to get out, otherwise they’ll lose the only thing they have called home. Do we really want to do that to them?”

“You’ve got two problems here: How do you get them out of here? And where do they go?” says Ken Cardwell, another volunteer. “It’s a legality versus humanitarian issue.... They could’ve taken the money they spent on that new City Hall and built a homeless shelter, you know? They’re just passing the buck.” Cardwell is referring to the $12 million, recently-completed Redmond City Hall.

When asked about using some of the 2,000 acres of county land, property manager Lewis says that due to zoning laws determined by the State of

Chad Tullis

Estimates vary, but soon 200 to 400 people will be finding a new place to call “home,” packing up their motorhomes, tents and tarps and hitting the road to find unoccupied land on which to settle.

Hawk, who has lived on COID’s land for six years doesn’t know where he’ll end up.

Oregon, opening a permanent homeless camp such as the Right 2 Dream Too camp in Portland isn’t a current and available option. He also notes there has been a 2011 license with the Redmond Area Park and Recreation District and the Central Oregon Trail Alliance to develop recreational trails for biking, hiking and horseback riding that have not been able to be fulfilled due to the increase in conflicts. He hopes with the vacant land, those groups can develop the trails.

“We just don’t have a solution for this issue,” says Colleen Thomas, the homeless outreach coordinator for Deschutes County Behavioral Health.

“It’s a bigger conversation that needs to happen community wide and ultimately it lands with the fact that we need more services and better funding.” Thomas has been visiting the camps for the past five months, saying from her experience, some people are, “leaving the area completely to Idaho, Washington and California, some are trying to move in with family, camp on BLM land, while other folks are refusing to leave.”

Although the Source spoke to only a small portion of campers, most confirmed they were planning on leaving — “the difficulties come with how to move and where to move to,” says longtime resident Art. A Silver Lining “The blessing in disguise is that through this action we have been able to connect with folks that we may not have otherwise been able to have

connected with and give them community resources and access to mental health resources,” says Thomas. “Some folks have been isolated for years, so this event is showing some what else is available for them.” Thomas says she’s been establishing a rapport with residents, coming up with plans, sourcing new tires and getting them on waitlists for low-income housing.

“What I’d like to remind everyone is that we are all human. A lot of these folks don’t have criminal backgrounds and have fallen on hard times. So hopefully this will raise awareness of the lack of resources that we have…. And will provide a bigger community discussion for better resources.”

Thomas notes that anyone wanting to help can donate to charities such as Vincent De Paul, which aids the homeless with water, propane, food and clothing on a weekly basis. “Those are immediate impacts,” she says, “and homelessness will never be solved. But more importantly, in my mind, is the long lasting effect, which is to treat these people kindly, and with dignity and respect.” SW

BRINGIN’ DOWN THE NOISE Residents of the River West neighborhood and business owners at the Century Center meet with mediators to find a solution to noise complaints in Bend

aybe you live in the River West neighborhood on Bend’s west side and have heard the bass thumping from one of the outdoor concerts put on by Bend Radio Group.

Maybe you’ve heard whispers of neighbors and friends complaining about noise. Or maybe you’ve attended one of the shows at the Century Center and enjoyed yourself until the music stops at 10 pm.

Whatever the case, people living in the River West neighborhood are calling into question the details of Bend’s noise ordinance—bringing the issue back into the forefront of local politics.

In the time since the last update to the Bend noise ordinance in 2012, business owners at the Century Center have received thousands of complaints, both to the owners personally, as well as in the form of complaints to local law enforcement.

“The problem at a place like Century Center is that the physical distance between the stage and the homes is just too close to ever really be in compliance,” Bill Bernardy of the Bend Neighborhood Coalition says. “And that’s not even allowing for the fact that sound in Bend can be twice as loud as in Portland. Our decimal limits are much more liberal than in most other cities, so there’s already this kind of extra margin, and even then just because of the short distance it’s virtually impossible to make it work.”

Over the last several months, the City of Bend has been working with a mediator, Community Solutions of Central Oregon, to find a solution that works for both neighbors and the businesses at the Century Center. The most recent meeting took place on Aug. 17, with more meetings to come. The goal: finding a solution that doesn’t involve changes to the noise ordinance itself.

“Noise, in general, is a real challenge in the city of Bend,” Community Solutions Executive Director Gary

Winterstein says. “A generating noise problem, construction efforts, rock concerts, you name it. Festivals. This gets to the City Council and the city manager’s world. They are honestly trying to put great policies in place that help the city be the most livable city.

They’ve got their work really cut out for them. I give them some credit for moving the issue over to us.”

In addition to complaints reported to the Bend Police Department during concerts hosted by Bend Radio Group and GoodLife Brewing, Derek Sitter, owner of Volcanic Theatre Pub, has received his fair share of heat from neighbors surrounding the Century Center. While he owns an indoor music venue, he says neighbors have complained about the noise that escapes when patrons open his doors during concerts.

“What happened is that, from my end, from Volcanic, we see very little problem,” Sitter says. “I’ve done some things to make the room cooler to prevent people leaving the building as often. I’ve done some things to be neighborly, as they call it, to prevent noise from escaping the Volcanic.”

The main issue stems from the outdoor amplified concerts held at the Century Center. Grey areas do exist, such as unreadable decibel levels from subwoofers and bass and noise escaping during late-night concerts at the Volcanic; however, outdoor amplified noise is the main source of contention.

According to the noise ordinance, daytime hours occur between the hours of 7am and 10pm, while night time hours run from 10pm to 7am. Business and event companies have the option to file a noise variance, which upon approval from the city can allow the 10pm noise curfew to be pushed out later into the night.

Lorelei Williams, program coordinator for the City of Bend, says each time the parking lot between Volcanic and GoodLife is used for an outdoor concert,

The last revision of the noise ordinance came in 2012.

According to the ordinance: 5.50.020 Noise Limits: No person may create noise on a property if that noise results in a noise level above the levels listed in this subsection when measured on a property other than the source of the sound and that contains a residence or other noise sensitive unit.

the promoter files for a Temporary Change in Occupancy Permit, allowing the space to be used as a music venue. Williams confirmed that Bend Radio Group hasn’t filed for a noise variance when using this space. As long as outdoor concerts end by 10pm, there’s no need for a noise variance.

At the end of the 2016 concert season, Bend Radio Group received a citation for a noise violation during the Grace Potter concert. Upon receiving a citation, a business cannot apply for a noise variance for one year—which means next summer, Bend Radio Group can apply again. Bend Radio Group has since installed noise buffers to decrease sound levels traveling away from the venue.

GoodLife also applied for a noise variance this summer, which was approved for its sixth anniversary party. Many of the applications for noise variances at the Century Center are denied due to the venue’s proximity to the residential neighborhood—though many of the concerts do remain within the permitted decibel levels before the 10pm cutoff, according to Williams.

Local Context: Les Schwab Marnie Smith has been the venue director at the Les Schwab Amphitheater since 2004. The Amphitheater has an advantage over “pop-up” venues such as the Century Center due to land use approval to be a music venue. Smith says the rezoning effort took four years, 11 months and two days to acquire. Despite this advantage, they don’t take it for granted, she says.

“Anybody who does call and complain, if they are willing to leave their number, I will call them back and talk to them,” Smith says. “Talk about what’s bothersome about it, talk about how sound travels. Having open communication with people and making sure they understand that they are heard and that we pay attention to that has been what worked for us so far.”

Smith remains in contact with area residents with noise complaints, many of whom have her cell phone number and call her directly. She’s developed relationships with them, as the complaints tend to come from the same people. It’s important to Smith to make these connections with residents in real time in order to try to make them happy.

A Circulating Petition While many people were unaware of the mediation between the Century Center businesses and the River West neighbors, Bend Radio Group has brought it to light with a new petition, even creating radio ads encouraging people to sign. The petition, circulating on social media, hit more than 1,000 signatures Monday. The petition states: “We, the undersigned, believe outdoor events and concerts in Bend, like concerts at the Century Center, add to the quality of life, community and culture in our city of Bend, Ore. WE do NOT want to see them go away.”

In an email from Sitter, he states, “The petition was written and executed

by Bend Radio Group. It is simply a list of supporters of outdoor music and concerts in Bend. The goal is to reveal to the neighbors that there are TONS of supporters that outweigh the complaints.”

Not all River West neighbors are worried about the noise at Century Center.

Tina Reisfar has lived one block from the Century Center since 1995. She loves the live music at the Century Center and being able to walk somewhere for fun.

She sees many of her neighbors attending the concerts as well.

“The first 15 years we lived here, there was a factory there and it made so much noise,” Reisfar recalls. “There were trucks coming in 24/7, it was horrible. It was an industrial zone. To have a little music now and then that ends at 10 o’clock, there are worse problems in the world.”

Reisfar says she and most other people she’s talked to thought the noise ordinance issue had been handled. She says when a Century Center concert ends at 10, you barely hear a peep by 10:15 outside of a few people talking on their walk home. She believes most people have been conscientious about working with the neighbors.

“People get off the river, they go see a show, that’s the Bend experience,” Sitter says.

“Volcanic is a huge part of that experience. If it comes down to a dozen people who don’t like their quality of life impacted by Century Center—I think we have a pretty big problem with very few people that are way outnumbered.”

gaps in city policy. If those gaps aren’t addressed, there will be more conflicts going forward as the city grows. That is our point.”

Winterstein believes each side has smart people with good ideas. With more mediation meetings scheduled, the City of Bend, the business owners and the neighbors all hope to reach a reasonable solution in the coming months, allowing live outdoor music to continue to thrive in Bend. SW EDITOR’S NOTE: We reached out to Dave Hill, owner of Century Center, Jim Gross, owner of Bend Radio Group and Patrick Griffiths, River West Neighborhood Association board member, for comment.

Each chose not to respond.

STREET BEAT

Do you think Bend's outdoor concerts are too loud or disruptive?

Why or why not?

Matt Vaness No I don't think they are too loud. I think it's awesome that you can be in the neighborhoods and still listen to the music that's going on in town and it's a part of the summer energy of what's happening in Bend. I love it.

Amie Filben No, I think they are awesome.

Too expensive, but not too loud.

Lauren Bodeman I think they're fine, I like them.

They're good activities, things to do.

Shelbi Doerfler I haven't been to any concerts and I haven't heard them at all so I don't think they're too disruptive.

Henry Daniels-Koch I would say no, they aren't that loud or disruptive. A lot of them are either pretty quiet just outside of restaurants and a lot of them are just between the hours of 5 and 9; they really don't go that late. I work at a brewery and they have to stop playing at 9 which I think is a really reasonable time. They really aren't that loud, I've never had a problem with them.

Anne Currin I do live downtown and on occasion, if I'm trying to do homework or something like that, especially in the summer having the windows open, it can be a distraction. However, I understand that it's a big part of our community so it doesn't really bother me, but they are loud.

Finding a Solution While progress is moving at a slow pace, Community Solutions’ Winterstein sees a little more understanding happening on both sides. The biggest challenge comes in scheduling, which contributes to the elongation of the process.

“Life is one big negotiation,” Winterstein says. “Give and take here. If anyone is going to give any room, it’s because they understand that it’s good for them. I see some positive overtones about Volcanic, the work the owner has done with indoor productions he manages and oversees, have gotten positive feedback from the residents.

GoodLife’s outdoor beer garden is pretty popular and residents use it. It’s in their best interest to have talent coming. Maybe we can manage these events a little better for everybody.”

Meanwhile, Bernardy and the Bend Neighborhood Coalition have several suggestions in mind for mitigating the noise issue at the Century Center.

“Other cities have a more prevention-oriented approach, a more proactive approach where they’re trying to make sure that places that have outdoor music are in compliance up front,” Bernardy says. “And a good example of that is Austin, Tex., which bills itself as the ‘Live Music Capital of the World.’

So our feeling is that if they can get it right, Bend can get it right.”

Adopting a prevention-oriented approach could result in fewer complaints, he says. Some of the policies Austin has implemented include requiring an outdoor music vendor permit— which would require any place that wants to have outdoor amplified music to apply for a license and take other preventative steps, such as having a sound technician out to perform a sound impact evaluation ahead of an event.

GoodLife and Volcanic have already adopted changes in order to be both neighborly and compliant with the noise ordinance. As for the bigger outdoor concerts put on by Bend Radio Group, Bernardy and the Bend Neighborhood Coalition suggest moving them to the other side of the building for the next concert as a short-term solution.

“Long term, Bend needs one or more designated entertainment districts and another outdoor music venue kind of like Les Schwab, maybe one that belongs to the park district,” Bernardy suggests. “Were not opposed to Jim Gross [owner of Bend Radio Group] staging concerts, but wouldn’t it be great to find an appropriate place where it’s not causing conflicts? How about a place that can accommodate a thousand people with room for food carts and parking and that kind of stuff?”

“Noise ordinances aren’t just about grumpy people who are anti-music or anti-fun,” Bernardy says. “They come from a position of saying that noise threatens the health and welfare of the community. What’s happening right now with noise pointing out

Summer SOUND Superphonic Bend’s own Precious Byrd performs dozens of shows this summer with no sign of letting up anytime soon

By Anne Pick

13 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 35 / August 31, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Certain band names always seem to creep up into the Source’s Clubs and Live Music calendar. These local musicians are the equivalent to marathon runners, keeping a strong pace throughout the race we call the summer music lineup in Bend.

Precious Byrd takes the cake as one of the hardest working bands of the summer, racking up dozens of performances at Sunriver Resort and the Ghost Tree Invitational Dinner on the Range—not to mention a few trips to Portland and other Central Oregon locales.

P

recious Byrd includes Corey Parnell on vocals, Casey Parnell on lead guitar, Michael Summers on drums and Lonnie Chapin on bass. For the seasoned musicians, who became friends through the local music scene, the idea to come together as a band occurred when Corey Parnell began getting his hair cut by Chapin, also a talented barber, at his home about three years ago.

“We’d all been doing music forever, but it always felt heavy and strive-y and emo,” Parnell says. “I looked at him and said, ‘Do you just want to start a rock band and have fun?’”

From there on out, Precious Byrd has been nothing if not a fun band. Known most prominently for their covers, the band also released their debut album, “Superphonic Magical,” in 2016. According to Parnell and Chapin, the magic happened pretty quickly, allowing them to find their sound, both in covers and originals.

“Being a musician, it’s still hard,” Parnell says. “We all have day jobs as well. We just have a guiding compass. We want to make sure our families are taken care of and we maintain healthy relationships. I think the best way to manage a busy schedule is to just love what you do. We get tired just schlepping the gear around, but once we’re making music, I was born for this and it doesn’t feel like work.”

For Chapin, watching the smiles on people’s faces makes their busy summer show schedule worth all of the gear hauling.

“We get paid to set up gear and tear down gear—we’ll play for free all day,” Chapin says.

“That makes it easy when you love it.”

It doesn’t hurt to be in a beautiful city with folks who love and appreciates music as much as people in Bend do. According to Parnell, Bend has a grassroots feel that makes bands feel like they’re in it with you.

“There’s a rad buzz in Central Oregon as far as the music scene; outside of Precious

Byrd, people love music here,” Chapin says.

After playing dozens of concerts this summer, I asked the guys which show stands out as their favorite. They agreed on two separate events. Parnell noted Ghost Tree, for its amazing job with promotion, the beautiful stage and the sound system. Chapin cited the GoodLife sixth birthday and celebration of Curt Plants, GoodLife co-founder and brewmaster who passed away in April of this year.

“It was so meaningful,” Chapin says. “The songs Corey was picking for that set, the compassion knowing Curt, the compassion of those who showed up to hear us play, honoring Curt, so many things came together and just at the end, watching Rick Plants hug us and say thank you with tears in his eyes. I think that’s one of the reasons we’re all in this band; An ability to bring a certain hope, love to our shows.”

Up next for one of Central Oregon’s hardest working bands includes showcases in L.A. and Nashville in order to garner support from managers and publicists. The band admires

the indie approach to music that Chance the Rapper has used to find success. They hope to surround themselves with a good team and use the power of social media to propel themselves forward.

“Long gone are the days of traveling in a van; that’s not the way to make a living anymore,” Chapin says.

“We’re writing for a full length right now,” Parnell says. “We’ve done all of our production and recording in the past and would love to hire a producer, but we may or may not do that. That part of the industry still hasn’t changed. We’re still trying to figure out exactly what our sound is; it’s not a stationary thing. Funk, rock, combination, danceable. More videos, definitely more videos.” SW Twilight Tunes with Precious Byrd Monday, Sept. 4. 6-9pm Worthy Brewing 495 NE Bellevue Dr., Bend.

They partnered up in 2009 and rebooted Oregon State University’s hop-breeding program with a $1 million donation.

THE LITTLE WOODY

Whiskey Tasting The Woody Whiskey Tasting Tug Fest takes place in the whiskey tent by the music stage.

Clear Creek Distillery Founded in 1985 with a vision to use the bountiful fruits of the Pacific Northwest to create fruit-based spirits that rivaled the best of their European counterparts. Using old-world techniques and sourcing ingredients from the local orchards and fresh water springs of Mount Hood in the Oregon countryside, Clear Creek became one of the first craft distilleries in the United States. Now you can discover one of the Northwest’s unique “orchard to glass” treasures. Clear Creek’s fruit brandies and liqueurs are distilled in small batches using traditional copper pot stills. It takes 20lbs of pears to create just one bottle of our flagship pear brandy. Experience the authentic taste of locally grown and handcrafted fruit spirits, the essence of pure fruit lovingly crafted to create exceptional products.

McCarthy’s® Oregon Single Malt Whiskey

Origin: Oregon Distilled in a Holstein pot still using one pass distillation. This premium, non-chill filtered product is then barrel-aged in air-dried Oregon Oak barrels. The result is remarkably smooth for a 3-year-old whiskey.In the Whiskey Bible’s review of the world’s whiskeys, McCarthy’s was recognized as the “Best Small Batch Whiskey” in 2004 and 2006.

House Spirits Distillery in the heart of Portland, Oregon, is an invitation to explore the tradition and the future of American craft distilling. Every day, through our oversized tasting room window or on a distillery tour, our guests witness the transformation of grain and natural botanicals into some of the world’s most admired spirits.

A leader of Portland’s world-renowned maker community, we are a real distillery, where real people put their heart, soul, and artistry into crafting products that delight and inspire.

Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Origin: Oregon A grain-to-glass celebration of the American pioneer spirit. Made from scratch from Pacific Northwest two-row barley, fermented with American ale yeast for outstanding flavor, double pot distilled for exceptional character, matured in new American oak barrels, and never chill filtered, Westward brings together the very best of the American whiskey and craft beer traditions.

Bull Run Distillery We started Bull Run Distillery to make an Oregon Whiskey.

A whiskey that would reflect the place where it is made and the influences that guided its vision. Our goal was to create nothing less than a new style of American Whiskey. Made from 100% malted barley from the Klamath Basin and brought up in new American oak barrels influenced through the years by Western Oregon’s four distinct seasons. Our whiskey is the culmination of the combination of grain, wood, time and home.

Bull Run Single Malt

Origin: Oregon

American Single Malt

Oregon Spirit Distillers Founded on a dream to do what we love resulting in an end product that shows the integrity and playfulness of our work. We sought to create spirits that bring an experience to the consumer, which we can be proud of and excited to share with them. From the beginning we wanted our spirits to participate in the cocktail and we think that they do that well.

Wanting to involve the consumer we sought after those who had an interest in spirits and asked for their help to develop our products. We have found that working with others who are excited about this industry as much as we are was extremely helpful and rewarding to us. We hoped to develop a sense of community at Oregon Spirit that would reach out and include those wishing to be (what we affectionately refer to as) Spirit Geeks!

Hooligan ABV: 9.7% • IBU’s: 33 2 Tokens Barrel Aged Pumpkin Sour. There’s one in every bunch.

While tasting through barrels of Jamaican Me Pumpkin (our rum barrel aged imperial pumpkin ale), we noticed a few hooligan barrels – these didn’t taste the same as the others. Thrilled with our belligerent barrels, we moved the beer in to wine barrels in our sour barrel room. Extended aging allowed the pumpkin spices to meld further into the beer and wild yeast creates layers of fruity, earthy flavors and alight acidity.

What’s Your Damage?

The kids aren’t alright in "Heathers: The Musical"

By Jared Rasic 25

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 35 / August 31, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he first time I saw the movie “Heathers,” a few things happened almost instantly: I fell madly in love with Winona Ryder, I started trying to talk like Christian Slater (who in turn was talking like Jack Nicholson) and I bought a trench coat that made me creepier than I already was. I was being bullied fairly heavily, so I connected to Veronica Sawyer’s desperate need to fit in, to J.D.’s desire to turn his pain into someone else’s problem and to Martha Dumptruck’s feeling that none of it was ever going to get any better.

Obviously, I was wrong. The cliché is right, in that it does always get better, that fitting in really only matters in high school and that pain can never really be shared. Still, “Heathers” maintains the same power over my emotional real estate as it did when I was growing up.

With the smashing success of 2010’s “Heathers: The Musical” and the fact that there’s a TV show based on the story coming out later this year, I would say I’m not the only one still mesmerized by the brutally hilarious satire. The film, released in 1989, caught between 80s fashion and 90s disaffected youth syndrome, is still the most incisive, brilliant and sobering high school comedy yet told. Its look at teen suicide, bullying, homophobia and gun violence is no less relevant today as it was 30 years ago.

Every new generation finds a bit of hard truth in the film, and now that 2nd Street Theater and Lonely Fish Productions are bringing the musical to Bend, it has the chance to connect with even more alienated and frustrated kids. Director Scott Schulz explains the continued popularity of the film: “Those themes had never had such a platform to be brought to the forefront of the viewer’s mind. It took such a

careful look into those themes and left you laughing in one scene and crying in the next.”

“Heathers: The Musical” is the perfect extension of the film, since it takes the absurdist candy colored nightmare to its most logical conclusion: bursting out into song. If Christian Slater and Winona Ryder had done so in the movie, it wouldn’t have felt out of place in the slightest.

The film is so iconic that it can be hard to imagine anyone else as these characters, but actress Miranda Rose (playing Heather McNamara) sees the challenge as something altogether more exciting. “While we want to embody the original feel of the show that everyone loves, there’s less pressure to be like the movie and more excitement at the opportunity to show more layers to our

Harper’s Bazaar calls it “One of the most important books you’ll pick up this decade.” Stephen King calls it a “masterpiece,” comparing it to “Catch-22,” “To Kill a Mockingbird” and the “The Things They Carried,” as a book you’ll remember forever. In my write-up to the publisher, I used words including “searing,” “brutal,” and “incandescent.”

characters,” says Rose. “It is difficult going into any cult classic that’s been adapted into a musical, because there are just some things that won’t be the same. Fortunately with ‘Heathers the Musical,’ they kept many of the iconic lines/themes and they expand on characters you didn’t get to know as well in the film.”

Anyssa Bohanan (who plays queen bee Heather Chandler) thrives in exploring the lighter side of the characters. “Surprisingly, the challenge isn’t really fitting into the mold as far as recreating a cult classic because, even though they’re very similar in the plot and characters, the movie and the musical are fairly different,” says Bohanan.

“The movie is much darker than the musical, the music adds a level of brevity that you don’t see in the movie. It’s

still quite dark but it’s more relatable to the audience when presented the way we’re doing it on stage.”

“Heathers: The Musical” shouldn’t just be seen because it’s got some great songs and a wonderful story, but also because it’s still a powerful window into the minds of disaffected youth.

By Tom Beans, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe Absolute Darling” by first-time author Gabriel Tallent, is the Best Book of 2017 and one that will be talked about for a long time to come.

Set in a beautifully rendered rural Mendocino, Calif., community, this is the story of Turtle Alveston, a 14-yearold wild child more at home cleaning a gun or running barefoot through the redwood forests than at school or hanging out with friends. As we meet Turtle, she is only just beginning to realize that something is wrong with how her father treats her. How she comes to terms with this and what she’s going to do about it are at the heart of this gutpunch of a novel.

Turtle’s father, Martin, is a charismatic monster who will haunt your thoughts. Moments of horrible cruelty toward Turtle are juxtaposed with others of great insight and tenderness, helping us to see him much the same way Turtle does as she begins to understand the relationship can’t continue.

It’s been almost two months since I read “My Absolute Darling,” and I still wonder how Turtle is doing. Never in my life have I pulled so hard for a young girl to find some small bit of happiness in hers. Does she find it? I’ll let you decide—but in the end, she at least finds some semblance of peace… and maybe that’s enough. SW

Deschutes County Fair. Other Aspen Ridge beers include Aspen Kickin’ Stout, Grumpy Grasshopper Stout, Old Tart Cream Ale, Cherry Kiss Stout and Aspen Stinger Cream Ale. “It’s not the first one, but it’s the best one,” Reed says of Machine Gun Maggie. “It’s won the most prizes.”

The beer has been brewed in collaboration with different Bend breweries, including Worthy, Oblivion and Silver Moon, and is distributed to different taps around town, with a portion of the proceeds going toward Alzheimer’s research. The Aspen Ridge brewers appear to have quite a bit of support from the local brewing community. The Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization even meets at Aspen Ridge once a month.

The brew room at Aspen Ridge is nothing fancy just a kitchen countertop and stove. On brew days, the team brews in the morning, pausing for a Costco pizza at lunchtime. That combination is “kind of hard to turn your back on,” Reed says. “I like a beer and pizza and to have a good time. Drinking beer is a social enterprise, and making it can be one, also.”

For retired folks with lots of time

on their hands, Reed says the act of following the recipes and putting together the ingredients is good for people who need something to occupy their time. “When you can get something going, it keeps your mind going, and you like to take advantage of it.” However, Reed laughs, “I don’t see a career of making beer.”

The team’s equipment came from The Brew Shop above Platypus Pub, according to Reed. Asked if he has a favorite style of beer, Reed offers, “I’m not a connoisseur; I kind of like them all.” The brew team has even made a mead, he says. “It’s almost like a dessert wine, quite potent and quite delicious, but it sure doesn’t taste like a beer.” The team also has brewed an IPA aged in a whiskey barrel.

The team gets out to sample the local goods from time to time, venturing out in the company van to a local brewery for lunch. “It’s nice to get out, and the merchants are always really nice, even though we’re kind of a motley crew with wheelchairs and such.

I know we’re not the easiest group to deal with because we can’t always hear everything, but they put up with us.”

During his younger years, Reed occupied his free time with gardening, woodworking and traveling. Before that though, he served in the Army infantry in Germany during World War II, where every little town had a brewery.

He and his fellow soldiers were used to beers with a 3 to 5 percent ABV, while the German beers were closer to 12 percent, he says.

The Midwest-born man was raised mostly in Portland, where he lived until 1975 when his job with the United Airlines reservations department transferred him to Seattle. Reed retired in 1983, eventually moving to the area to be closer to his daughter and her family, who live in Prineville.

Reed attributes his longevity to good genes and clean living. “If you’re lucky, they (genes) stay in the family,” he says.

Apparently, “clean living” can include the occasional beer. SW

The moon is still on display at Bend Art Center While the eclipse and its madness may be behind us, there’s still plenty of opportunity to reflect on the magic of our moon and the relationship we have with it at The Bend Art Center.

Through September, the Lunar Show— an exhibition of work from a variety of artists showcasing how we feel, think and relate to the lunar cycle—is on display as well as being a backdrop for several events. (You might have also heard about the show in this week’s Chow.)

Organizers asked artists to reflect on the moon by creating either a piece on a common canvas— a 22-by-22 inch square with a 16 inch circle in the middle, or a handmade book. With each artist bringing their own interpretation

to the piece, the result is an eclectic and insightful mix of woodcuts, typography, solar printing and more.

“There are many memory drawings and illustrations that came out,“ reflects Pat Clark, owner of A6, a printmaking studio housed in the Bend Art Center and the juror for the show. “All the way from nursery rhymes you remember as a child to space exploration.”

The show will also provide a backdrop for other explorations of the moon. On Sept. 6, local poet Krayna Castlebaum offers an evening of curated poetry for listening and reflecting.

On Sept. 17, John Hayes, a retired optical engineer and deep sky photographer, offers a non-technical look at how deep sky images are created, how they relate to what you might see visually through a telescope, and how the colors

relate to what is “really out there.”

And if you want to get creative and make your own moon print, you can do that, too! Two more classes let participants dive into memories and illusions of the moon on Sept. 9 and again on Sept. 23. SW Bend Art Center

“I like a beer and pizza and to have a good time. Drinking beer is a social enterprise, and making it can be one, also.”

Brewing Champion

mong the beers that have graced Bend’s Growler Guys fill station is Machine Gun Maggie, an IPA clocking in at about 10 percent ABV. That heavyweight beer is the creation of John Reed and the rest of the brewing team at the Aspen Ridge Retirement in northeast Bend.

At age 95, Reed doesn’t fit the stereotype of the bearded Northwest brewer—but that’s not stopping him from being a champion in the local beer scene.

“As a young guy, I drank a lot of beer,” Reed says. “It was a warm weather thing when I was mowing the lawn.”

In those days, Reed says he mostly drank Rainier and Blatz.

Somewhere around the age of 90, Reed decided it was time he learned how to brew the stuff—so he joined the brew team at Aspen Ridge, where he’s lived since relocating to Bend in 2013.

“I knew nothing about brewing until we got here,” Reed admits.

Four or five people are usually working on the Aspen Ridge brewing team at any given time, following the recipes and “cleaning the pots,” Reed says.

“We make different beers each time,” usually in 5- and 10-gallon batches.

Pop-Up Creative Feast Art inspires collaboration between chef, poet and musician Photos and Words By Lisa Sipe

Taste Our State at The Bite of Oregon

At the Bite of Oregon in Portland you can savor food and drink from the coast, high desert, Columbia River Gorge and the mountains, tasting the best the state has to offer. You can also watch some locals compete at the Iron Chef competition. On Friday, Bite of Bend winner Chef George Morris of Bos Taurus will face off against Food Scene Eugene Iron Chef winner Alejandro Cruz of Novo. Saturday, Bartender’s Brawl of Bend winner Josh Behrens competes against Food Scene Eugene’s Master Mixologist winner Danny Barnum. If either—or both—Bendites win their rounds, you can watch them compete for the title on Sunday.

It’s an interesting and engaging way to experience many different art forms in one evening. It’s also a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.

The evening starts with a glass of wine and time to privately tour the art exhibition. Guests receive a menu demonstrating the pieces of art that serve as inspiration for the fourcourse seasonal meal. This gives you a moment to really look at the artwork, to fall into the colors and textures. You may wonder which marks in the piece will inspire your meal. Will a thick orange brush stroke become a carrot? Will a swirling yellow field yield a piece of cheese? You’ll know soon enough, but to start, this is the visual amuse-bouche.

Krayna Castelbaum, a poetry instigator from Clear Lens Coaching, is the guide for the evening. She begins with a curated poem, an enticing melody of words that stimulate the mind, connect to the art and leads you into the first food course. This is when Chef Anna Witham, a crafter of decadent culinary delights from 123Ramen and The Root Cellar, enters the scene, sharing her connection to the art and how she channeled the spirit of it into the thoughtfully plated meal in front of you. Her story connects the dots.

From there, cellist Billy Mickelson from ThirdSeven takes over and his rhythmic, ethereal musical improv fills the air. His cello’s lacquered surface is worn from the history of the bow crossing the strings and Billy using the body like a drum. The instrument is its own piece of art. Using the art around the room, the aroma from the meal and the energy from the guests, Billy creates his music.

hosts several Creative Feasts throughout the year, but each event is completely unique and not repeated.

The next Creative Feast is coming in September. Executive Director Alexis Chapman said, “Our Lunar exhibit acts as a celestial inspiration for our Creative Feast. This event is a collaboration of talented community partners coming together to share their passions, each enhancing and inspiring one another to create a unique and

unforgettable evening for everyone involved.” The Lunar exhibit is made up of uniformly sized moon images, each created by a different local or regional artist. The images wrap around the gallery, making for an ethereal effect. As you might have guessed, the exhibition was curated in anticipation of the recent total solar eclipse. If you witnessed totality and were moved by the spectacle, dining at the next Creative Feast is an opportunity to relive and expand upon that experience.

What does a lunar-inspired meal taste like? Will it include a cheese course? You don’t have to leave this planet to find out. SW

Little Woody: Not just for beer lovers

If you thought the Little Woody event taking place this weekend at the Des Chutes Historical Museum was just for brew geeks and barrel-aged beer lovers, think again.

Back again this year is the Whiskey Tasting Area, where lovers of that “other” barrel-aged spirit can get their taste on with whiskeys from a handful of different local and regional distilleries.

In addition to local favorites including Crater Lake Spirits and Oregon Spirit Distillers, check out Four Roses Bourbon out of Kentucky and several Portland-area single malt and whiskey brands. Cheers!

hat happens when a chef, a poet and a musician walk into an art exhibition? It sounds like the start of a joke, but in this case, it means the beginning of a pop-up Creative Feast.

MICRO An Ode to

the Tugboat

Portland’s oddest brewery closes

31

By Kevin Gifford

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 35 / August 31, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Tugboat Brewing, below the tenements that doomed it.

I

n a Pearl District back alley in Portland is a bar. A dark bar, one that seems to exist on a different plane from the sun and heat of the current PNW summer. One that ostensibly was a brewery, but few went there for that.

And one that, as of this past Monday, is closed, located in too decrepit of a building to continue.

“The kindness and generosity of my customers has been absolutely mind-boggling,” said Linsel Greene, on his final night behind that bar at Tugboat. “I’m struggling to answer questions I keep getting, like ‘what’s next?’ when all I can think about is how difficult it is for me to say goodbye to an old friend.”

Tugboat Brewing, which opened on 711 SW Ankeny in 1996, is a holdout from when the Rose City was not a hip place for the young and rich to move to The chairs creak. The floor occasionally has foreign matter on it. But it also has a charm that no urban-chic beer bar — of which Portland has dozens, could boast. The small, subdued space is lined with shelves of old books and board games. The walls feature décor straight out of the best thrift store ever, from old album covers to a piece of barbed wire from the Korean DMZ. There’s also an Emmy award, won by Greene’s father for directing TV in the 1970s.

This lived-in charm, however, stems in part from being located in a very lived-in building. More like caving-in, actually. The Stewart Hotel building— which also houses a mom-and-pop convenience store and Mary’s Club, the oldest strip joint in the city—is a

throwback to old Portland in ways the tourist board doesn’t like to advertise.

The tenements on the upper floors, best viewed from across the street at the Upper Lip bar, look more at home in Jakarta than atop some of this city’s most expensive real estate.

It was here that an arson fire started in March. Tugboat avoided the fire itself, but suffered extensive damage nonetheless, with water seeping into the carpet and the ceiling falling on the bar space. It reopened in June, but disaster struck: the city’s Bureau of Development Services ruled the building was too structurally unsound to house apartments. “The Bureau stepped in and demanded an evacuation of all hotel tenants,” Greene said, “and the company that insures the bar claims that the business is uninsurable in this location. So the bar’s closing.”

Nobody will remember the Tugboat for its beer—it produced the 13 percent Chernobyl Stout, a surefire showstopper, but saw more business off its extensive guest-tap lineup. The local block houses far better beer options, from Bailey’s across the alley to Kelly’s Olympian, the nearby 1902-era dive with a surprisingly large tapwall (and Untappd Verified Venue status). But Tugboat offered warmth, friendliness, and charm, the sort that some cookie-cutter brewery in a warehouse filled with IKEA furniture can’t provide. “I can’t imagine I’ll ever have another job quite like it,” Greene said, “but I can only hope I’ll find something which suits me as well as the Tugboat did.” SW

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

ALL SAINTS: Starring John Corbett (who played the insufferably condescending Aiden on “Sex and the City” and the insufferably wacky Chris Stevens on “Northern Exposure”) as a pastor who hosts some Burmese refugees at his struggling church. Wouldn't this new Christian White Savior movie from Sony have been gutsy as hell if the refugees were Syrian? Just sayin’. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ANNABELLE: CREATION: Evil doll movies are normally played for laughs, but the newest film in the “Conjuring Universe” is a rollercoaster ride of jumps, thrills and characters we actually care about. When a group of orphans and a nun start getting messed with by a malevolent, demon possessed doll, their faith is the only thing standing in the way of darkly disturbing Annabelle. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema ATOMIC BLONDE: Charlize Theron plays a British spy hunting for a dangerous list in Berlin during the Cold War. The movie is fun and action packed, and Theron is perfectly cast as a badass super spy. There are a few dumb plot mechanics and story points, but the film is ultimately worth your time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX BABY DRIVER: Edgar Wright is the visionary

BEKSET

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

HEALTHY ADVENTURES AWAIT!

BIRTH OF THE DRAGON: A really bad take on old school Bruce Lee movies. It's not as offensive as the movies that came out after his death when they used footage of the martial arts master in his coffin, but it's still a terrible cash grab that will just make you miss the man even more. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX BRIGSBY BEAR: It looks like a charming and strange look at how humanity needs its imagination for survival. With a cast featuring Claire Danes, Mark Hamill, Greg Kinnear and the always hilarious Matt Walsh, “Brigsby Bear” has the talent to back up the bizarre and intriguing visuals. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE DARK TOWER: This long awaited adaptation of Stephen King's magnum opus is not only a terrible movie in its own right, but one of the worst adaptations of an existing piece of literature ever made. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DUNKIRK: Christopher Nolan sets his sights

on making one of the most fiercely original war movies of all time. Told in a jumbled chronology and filled with some of the most powerful imagery of the year, “Dunkirk” is an unforgettable evening at the movies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE GLASS CASTLE: Based on the bestselling memoir, “The Glass Castle" tracks the life of a woman who was raised by broke hippies and is still having trouble adjusting to normal life as an adult.

This should be a lovely film to watch, especially with the luminous Brie Larson getting another meaty role to sink her teeth into. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX GOOD TIME: A dark and achingly sad look at the

costs of a life of crime as it relates to two brothers in NYC. Robert Pattinson is getting all the accolades for his mesmerizing performance, but it's only one piece of a flawed and fabulous whole. This one is a rough watch, so consume at your own risk.

See full review on p35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE HITMAN'S BODYGUARD: Watching

Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds as badasses trading quips as they shoot at bad guys should make for an entertaining diversion, even as the reviews come in as pretty terrible. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

INGRID GOES WEST: This is a brutal black

comedy about Instagram celebrities, obsession and the darkest flavors of love. Aubrey Plaza is on a roll with her choices lately as she's adding many different shades to her typically caustic and bitter wheelhouse. You'll laugh just as hard as you cringe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX,

LEAP!: It's 1879 in Paris and a young orphan girl

dreams of being a ballerina while never letting her plucky, can-do spirit die. Following your dreams is a nice message, and with vocal performances by Elle Fanning, Mel Brooks, Carly Rae Jepsen and Kate McKinnon, this probably deserved more press than it actually received. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

THE LITTLE HOURS: This is a gut busting

comedy about a trio of nuns in the 14th century who are horny, mean, gleefully profane—and possibly heretics. So far this is easily the funniest comedy of the year and is perfect for those looking to be the tiniest bit offended. Tin Pan Theater

LOGAN LUCKY: Channing Tatum, Adam Driver

and Daniel Craig play some blue collar criminals who team up to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the biggest race of the year. “Logan Lucky” is an absolute blast from start to finish and will leave a smile on your face long after the lights come up. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

LOST IN PARIS: From the filmmaking team

behind the modern French classic, “The Fairy,” comes another delightfully eccentric comedy packed to the gills with whimsy and wonder. If life is feeling a little too real lately, “Lost in Paris” is the perfect antidote. Tin Pan Theater

THE NUT JOB 2: NUTTY BY NATURE: I'm not sure anyone was clamoring for a sequel to a mostly forgotten animated film from a few years back about a squirrel and a rat, but here we are.

As great as the voice cast featuring Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and Jackie Chan are, the last one was terrible and this one doesn't appear to be any better. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING: We know what you're thinking: “Another rebooted Spider-Man??” Yes, they just tried this and failed, but the difference is now Marvel Studios gets to play with him. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES:

The “final” installment to the “Planet of the Apes” prequel trilogy not only sends the series out on a high note, but also manages to be one of the best films of the year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WIND RIVER: The directorial debut of Taylor Sheridan, the writer behind “Sicario” and “Hell or High Water,” sees Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen as law enforcement agents who team up to hunt a serial killer across a frozen Indian reservation in Wyoming. “Wind River” will stick to your bones like whiskey. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House WONDER WOMAN: Looks like the DC Extended Universe has finally gotten it right with this one in ways they failed with “Batman Vs. Superman” and “Suicide Squad.” History has been made with this film. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

May the Source Be With You

The Source’s take on TV, Netflix and other fun stuff on screens big(ish) and small

By Jared Rasic 33 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 35 / August 31, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Top, I never knew I was missing Ted Danson in a hoodie but there you go. Bottom, Jason Bateman should really get out of the Ozarks, and maybe take Laura Linney with him.

W

elcome to the inaugural installment of May the Source Be With You. Now that “Game of Thrones” is over until (supposedly) 2019, you might need a few more things to curl up with while you wait for winter to come one last time.

Every other week we’ll take a look at whatever we’re either currently enjoying or looking forward to, whether it be a new Netflix show worth binge watching, a great movie under the radar or the podcasts we’re currently obsessed with.

DVD and Blu: Raw. Coming out Sept. 5 is the best cannibal movie you’ve ever seen! Only cannibal movie? Anyway, “Raw” is about a young vegetarian girl who leaves home and moves into her college dorm...only to find out she has a taste for the Long Pig. Even if you hate horror movies, this is a seriously woke drama that uses cannibalism as a metaphor for a young woman’s blooming sexuality. Way better than it sounds.

In Pod We Trust: We’re neck deep in the Golden Age of podcasts and the Internets are so saturated with thousands of choices that it’s hard to know what’s worth your time. Since my time is worthless, I listen to everything I can get my ear holes on. If you haven’t heard it yet, “S-Town” is probably the most powerful and heartbreaking true story since “Serial” and deserves every bit of acclaim it’s getting.

Marc Maron is having a bit of a renaissance on “WTF” lately, with his current interviews being his most incisive since dare I say, Gallagher? Hearing Alice Cooper talk about his 40 years of

sobriety or spending time with Bill Paxton two weeks before his death makes “WTF” still a bit of required listening.

Bingeworthy: It’s gonna be tough without “Game of Thrones,” but there’s still plenty of goodness to go around.

“Ozark” is the perfect remedy to everyone missing “Breaking Bad,” as watching Jason Bateman slowly get in way over his head with a drug lord never seems to get old. There are only 10 episodes so far, but the show gets its hooks in deeply and quickly.

“The Good Place” has also just been added and it’s the perfect antidote to boring sitcom conventions. Kristen Bell plays a self-absorbed jerkface who dies and ends up in The Good Place, an up-beat and cheery New Age version of Heaven run by Ted Danson. When she realizes she wasn’t supposed to get into The Good Place, she does whatever she can to avoid being sent to The Bad Place. This show is brilliant and should last 12 seasons.

I’m calling it.

What’s really important though is that in September we’re getting new seasons of “Bojack Horseman,” “Narcos,” a new Marc Maron stand-up special as well as the newest seasons of “The Walking Dead” and “Portlandia.”

Do you think that will last us a while?

carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.” As of 6pm, Tuesday, the AQI for Sisters was 344 (hazardous) and 411 (hazardous) for Bend. High AQI levels have been affecting people in Sisters and the surrounding area.

"After a long week of work, prepping for the eclipse, I was hoping to use last week to get outside and enjoy what's left of summer. Honestly, I haven't had much desire to be outside with so much smoke and ash in the air," said Shea Babich, who lives in Sisters.

Anyone looking to partake in outdoor activities or exercise can and should consult the AQI when wildfires are ablaze in their region. As Engel suggested, there are other notable signs, beyond the AQI, to be aware of. General

visibility is a key indicator, which can be useful when gauging wildfire smoke levels. Smoke plumes are known to shift, spread and drift sporadically due to changes in wind and weather. Also, look for ash in the air, and avoid that outdoor workout if it’s present, as it has been in recent weeks.

Wildfire smoke itself is a concoction of many different substances, water vapor being the majority. While the main ingredient may be harmless, breathing in the additional components — carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and irritant volatile organic compounds — can result in serious health issues. The U.S. Forest Service website notes individuals with heart or lung disease, congestive heart

disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and asthma as having extra risks in smoky areas.

Outdoor fitness enthusiasts may try to find ways to grind out exercise regardless of smoke, but it’s not encouraged—especially when the AQI is above 100, the satisfactory mark set by the EPA. Surgical masks may seem like an effective preventative measure, but these masks only filter large particles, not tiny particulate matter, or the host of harmful gases also present in smoke.

When wildfire smoke is thick enough to be stirred with a spoon, it’s best to keep workouts indoors. Indoor training on days with poor AQI is a common option for athletes from recreational league youth groups, all the way up to the professional level.

If the intention of exercise is physical and mental well-being, enduring wildfire smoke for torturous sprints, bike rides or high-intensity exercise in the local park are the antithesis. Trying to outrun, out-wit, or tough-out thick smoke won’t work. Instead, take advantage of indoor facilities, seek out regions with lower AQI readings or take the day off.

In the meantime, show some appreciation and support for the firefighters who are doing their best to battle multiple active wildfires. SW Want to help support firefighters' efforts? Donate to the Wildland Firefighters Association: wffoundation.org.

o one wants to return from a morning run with a scratchy throat, stinging eyes, and lungs that feel like Muhammad Ali’s speed bag. With several wildfires clawing their way through Central Oregon, athletes of all levels should be aware of what they’re up against.

Smoke from nearby wildfires has turned Bend and the surrounding communities opaque over the last several weeks. Scratchy throats, bloodshot eyes, irritated sinuses and headaches are all common side effects for those living or working in close proximity of the flames. While indiscriminate in nature, smoke tends to be a more serious concern to those keen on exercising outdoors.

“The main concern is respiration.

With the smoke, all the ash in the air can have negative effects on respiratory rate, and ash can also affect one’s lungs,” said Joanna Engel, director of athletic training services at the University of La Verne in Southern California.

Engel has worked with collegiate level athletes for over a decade. Wildfire smoke is a serious concern for the safety of her athletes. During exercise, respiratory rates increase. With the body demanding more oxygen, pollutants in smoke are consumed at higher rates than normal. On several occasions, Engel has had to cancel training sessions or move athletes indoors to avoid wildfire smoke. Likewise, in Bend and Central Oregon, youth sports programs including the Bend FC Timbers soccer club have been forced to cancel practices due to air quality.

“We use Southern California AQMD (Air Quality Management District) reports. If it’s above yellow, we stay inside. I also check to see if there’s ash in the air, if so, we stay inside regardless of AQMD,” said Engel.

In Central Oregon, there are several ways to monitor air quality.

A great resource for checking air quality in real time is AQICN.org. Reliable air quality sources will display the Air Quality Index (AQI)—a specific number, along with a corresponding color. The AQI scale goes from 0-500 with higher AQI indicating greater health concern.

The Environmental Protection Agency “calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter),

Pity the Poor Bumblebee

By Jim Anderson

People who use herbicides to kill dandelions are just one of the reasons our bumblebees are in big trouble. brother who lived in the hired man’s house on our small farm in Connecticut. He ate with us, but other than that I didn’t know (or actually care) much about him… until that day he asked me to help him capture a swarm of bees.

“Swarm of bees,” only meant one thing to me then: death. But for some reason, my curiosity made me stop and listen. He said a swarm in an apple tree had no place to call home, and because of his age he could no longer gather the swarm on his own. I helped him carry the ladder and Langstroth bee box to the orchard. He instructed me to climb the ladder with a cardboard box and saw, removing the limb with the swarm (without being stung once!). I let it drop into the cardboard box and came down.

He removed half the frames with the wax foundation from the box, dumped the bees into the hive and then, bare-handed and without any protection from being stung (except

and sheltering at night near the food plants in old rodent borrows, or under logs for a few weeks until her body signals it’s time to find a nest site.

This is the reason we must be sure there are early pollinating flowers blooming, like the lowly and much unloved dandelion. People who use herbicides to kill dandelions are just one of the reasons our bumblebees are in big trouble. Not only is the bumblebee’s food removed, but residual chemicals are contaminating their (and our) world.

Once the queen’s ovaries have eggs starting to form, she starts nest-searching. Deserted small rodent nests are favorite nest sites, but clumps of dead grasses, empty woodpecker holes, cracks in old, rotten logs and even outside furniture can become a nest.

Once a queen has found a suitable site she builds a wax honey pot and fills it with regurgitated nectar—honey. Next, she builds up a store of pollen,

puffing away on his nasty old pipe like a steam locomotive), slowly searched among the bees to find the queen and her entourage.

Then he put her back in the box, replaced the frames, closed it up, smiled at me and said, “Now, Catsfur, watch what happens.” What took place is what I enjoy most about installing a swarm. Several of the workers lined up at the entrance and beat their wings furiously, not to take flight, but fanning the fragrance of the queen’s pheromones outside, so other bees flying about would know where she was and find their new home.

The bumblebee life story is quite a bit different. To begin with, only one bumblebee survives winter: the queen.

There are no workers to help keep her warm. She’s all alone, hiding under an old log, or buried in the soil of a south-facing hillside or bank, hibernating to keep from freezing, waiting for spring when she’ll emerge and lay eggs.

She mated with a drone (male bee) in late summer of the previous year, and she hasn’t eaten anything since then. This is why it is vitally important for bumblebees to find early flowers on which to feed.

Newly emerged queens eat both nectar and pollen, and it’s the pollen that helps her ovaries develop—but she cannot fly unless her flight muscles are at about 86 degrees Fahrenheit, so she has to brave the cold weather to feed or else she will sink into torpor and never wake up. The queen continues feeding

T

he present populations of our western bumblebees are in big trouble, which from my perspective is more important from the biological and ecological perspective than the problems facing domestic honeybees.

I’ve been a beekeeper most of my adult life. I love having domestic bees in my immediate vicinity. Of course, I love the honey they produce, but perhaps more than that, I love their lifestyle.

There’s nothing that brings warmth to my being like coming up to a beehive at 31 below zero, putting my ear to the hive and listening to the warm humming of the bees inside keeping the queen warm and snug, at 90 degrees.

In the fall, it’s so sweet to remove the “super” (the box filled with my honey) from the top of the hives, thanking the “girls” for the honey and their contribution to my health and happiness.

But all that’s gone from my home today. I’ve given up the love of beekeeping to give our western bumblebee the help they need. If I had more pollinating plants at my place, perhaps I could keep domestic honeybees and have enough habitat for “my” bumblebees, but at the moment, I don’t.

I think my Uncle Moulton Alexander Rockefeller—the man who introduced me to honey bees when I was about 12—will look down on me from his present domicile out among the stars, and smile in agreement with my decision.

Uncle Moult was my grandfather’s

The poor old vanishing western bumblebee, a victim of everything from climate change to chemicals and greed.

some of which she eats, and the balances he makes into “bee bread.” She issues saliva mixed with pollen, and it is believed that the saliva provides some protection against spoiling by fungi and bacteria. If you’re fortunate enough to observe a bumblebee queen in the act of carrying pollen in her pollen baskets, you know she’s found a nest site and is preparing to lay eggs. The store of pollen, nectar and bee bread enable the queen to survive for a day or two of bad weather without foraging, which in our part of the country is vital.

The pollen stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs, which the queen lays in batches of four to 16 on the ball of pollen, then covers them with wax.

The eggs are pearly white and sausage-shaped, about 2.5 to 4.0 mm long.

The ball of pollen with the eggs is placed within reach of the honey pot thus enabling the queen to brood the eggs and drink honey at the same time.

After about four days the eggs hatch.

The queen may have to visit as many as 6000 flowers per day to get enough nectar to maintain the heat needed to brood her eggs. During every foraging trip the brood will cool down, so the trips should be short.

When the eggs hatch, the queen must make thousands of trips per day to feed her growing larvae.

The grubs are voracious, but do not defecate. The end of their gut is closed, so all the waste material remains inside the larvae; thus, the larval cell and food remain uncontaminated with waste.

The waste is expelled while the grub is in the pupal stage, the feces staying within the throw-away cocoon, but not wasted. In case you wondered, nothing is EVER wasted in nature!

The feces is smeared on to the inside wall of the cocoon, becoming part of the silken structure. That helps keep it rigid so the new insect inside—now with three body parts, six legs, and other necessities of an adult insect—is not crowded.

Entomologists have discovered by examining the feces in the cocoon’s pollen husks they can identify which flower species the adult bumblebees have been foraging from.

New queens and drones are produced at a later stage in the life of the colony, as winter is approaching. Somehow, fertilized larvae develop into queens when the queen stops secreting a certain pheromone. Once that queen that will survive the winter is selected, the others succumb to the elements of winter, and the surviving queen goes looking for a place to hibernate and survive winter. What a story!

Tips for Competing Against Cash Buyers

I

is the home appraising at the sales price before making offers. Going with a conventional type loan as opposed to VA or FHA also helps, as these agencies have additional qualifications on a property that can be an issue, particularly if it is a fixer.

Having a strong prequalification letter to submit with your offer and a lender who is available to get one to you quickly is important. Taking this extra step of almost full prequalification helps cut down the time for closing and assures the seller that the buyer is fully qualified.

Accompanying the offer should be a letter to the seller letting them know how you are making this your first family home and why you want to raise your family there, etc.

This can go a long way in appealing to a seller’s sentiments in preferring you over someone who is going to just purchase it as an investment with transient occupants.

Because it is not uncommon to have bidding wars on good deals, be prepared to offer above asking price. Your realtor can help you in determining this by providing statistics for recent comparative sales in the neighborhood.

41 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 35 / August 31, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n recent years, cash buyers, many of whom are investors looking for rental properties, have made it difficult for first-time homebuyers to purchase homes in the lower price ranges. This is a common scenario for firsttime buyers seeking an affordable home in a decent location. In a recent article in Housing Wire, the split is almost equal between cash buyers and mortgage buyers for starter level homes.

Sellers tend to prefer the cash buyer who typically can close quickly and for whom there is no financing contingency. In a tight market such as ours (and across the country) for starter homes, what can a buyer do to compete against cash buyers?

First of all, remember that typical real estate transactions have several contingencies that are exercised by most buyers, such as approval of the title report, home inspection, appraisal meeting the sales price and financing (loan qualification of buyers and property). The main advantage to a cash deal is the absence of the financing contingency, but buyers can strengthen their position by meeting with a mortgage lender and getting prequalified through underwriting to the point that the only contingency

Getting A Friend To Exorcise

My husband has a great body, but since we got married two years ago, he has completely stopped working out. One reason I was initially so attracted to him was that he was in great shape. I go to Pilates four times a week. How do I motivate him to go back to the gym?

—Toned

I’m trying to get over a breakup, and one of my best friends, in an attempt to help me move on, keeps saying, “He doesn’t want you!” I get that (and I do need to move on), but hearing that makes me feel unlovable and even more depressed. I am seeing what went wrong; I should have believed him when he told me at the very beginning that he was “terrified of relationships.” I’m sure it’s frustrating for her to see me in pain, but I’m just not ready to get back out there. What do I tell her so she stops making me feel worse?

—Still Sad

If your husband’s starting to see definition in his legs, it shouldn’t be from rolling over and falling asleep on the remote.

As for how to get him back into workout mode, consider what psychologists Edward Deci and Richard M. Ryan have learned in studying motivation. They break it down into two categories — intrinsic and extrinsic, fancy terms for internal and external.

The extrinsic kind is outside pressure to do something — like nagging from the wife to start going to the gym instead of just driving by the place and waving.

Extrinsic pressure tends to motivate defiance rather than compliance — which is to say it’s remarkably effective at bringing out the “terrible twos” in a 46-year-old man. Intrinsic motivation, however, is the kind that Deci and Ryan find leads to lasting change. This is motivation that comes from within a person, meaning that it’s in tune with who they are and what they want for themselves — like abs of steel instead of… wait, there are abs in there?

So, the challenge here is not how to make your husband work out but how to get him to start wanting what you want. You’re allowed to make requests of the person you’re married to, so ask him to try something for you — go to the gym…for just three weeks.

Reassure him that you still find him hot, but explain that you really, really find him hot when it looks like you could chip a tooth on one of his biceps.

The three-week stint — beyond getting him back in the habit of going to the gym — should lead to some positive changes in his body, giving him a sense of accomplishment. Because Deci and Ryan find that feelings of “competence” are an integral part of intrinsic motivation, there’s a good chance he’ll feel motivated to keep working out — instead of trying to get by on making those weightlifter grunts every time he changes the channel.

Misery sometimes wishes company would shut its big flapping trap.

Of course, your friend means well. She just wants Pain and its BFF, Suffering, to bugger off already. However, like most people, she probably doesn’t understand that the sadness you’re experiencing isn’t just a crappy feeling. Like all emotions, it has a job to do. In fact, sadness is a tool, just like a hammer, a plunger, or a Winkelschleifer (German for angle grinder).

Psychiatrist and evolutionary psychologist Randolph Nesse Amy Alkon explains that “happiness and sadness usually follow experiences of gain or loss,” helping us by “influencing future behavior” in ways that increase our chances of passing along our genes (including surviving long enough to manage that).

Happiness, for example, urges us (about whatever led to it), “Do that again and you’ll see even more of me!” Sadness, on the other hand, warns us, “Do that again, missy, and I’ll drag you right back to Boohoosville.” Though sadness can seem like some kind of punishment you don’t remember deserving, Nesse writes that “those people who don’t experience much sadness … are predicted to engage again in the same behaviors that previously led to loss.”

Thank your friend for trying to make you feel better, but tell her that what you need from her is not tough love but the kind that involves hugs, Kleenex, and maybe a snack.

Explain the utility of sadness — and how you’re using it as a tool to understand the past and act more wisely in the future. In other words, you aren’t stalling in moving on; you’re learning — and not just how long you have to cry before the neighbors start going to work in rowboats and the government sends in the National Guard with sandbags and a year’s supply of Cheetos.

ASTROLOGY

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The computer sci-

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The sadness you feel might be the most fertile sadness you have felt in a long time. At least potentially, it has tremendous motivating power. You could respond to it by mobilizing changes that would dramatically diminish the sadness you feel in the coming years, and also make it less likely that sadness-provoking events will come your way.

So I invite you to express gratitude for your current sadness. That’s the crucial first step if you want to harness it to work wonders.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Don't hoot with the owls at night if you want to crow with the rooster in the morning," advised Miss Georgia during the Miss Teen USA Pageant. Although that's usually good counsel, it may not apply to you in the coming weeks. Why? Because your capacity for revelry will be at an all-time high, as will your ability to be energized rather than drained by your revelry. It seems you have a special temporary superpower that enables you both to have maximum fun and get a lot of work done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): During this phase of your astrological cycle, it makes sense to express more leadership. If you’re already a pretty good guide or role model, you will have the power to boost your benevolent influence to an even higher level. For inspiration, listen to educator Peter Drucker: “Leadership is not magnetic personality.

That can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not ‘making friends and influencing people.’ That is flattery.

Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, raising a person’s performance to a higher standard, building a personality beyond its normal limitations.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “One should always be a little improbable,” said Oscar Wilde.

That’s advice I wouldn’t normally give a Capricorn.

You thrive on being grounded and straightforward.

But I’m making an exception now. The astrological omens compel me. So what does it mean, exactly?

How might you be “improbable”? Here are suggestions to get you started. 1. Be on the lookout for inspiring ways to surprise yourself. 2. Elude any warped expectations that people have of you.

3. Be willing to change your mind. Open yourself up to evidence that contradicts your theories and beliefs. 4. Use telepathy to contact Oscar Wilde in your dreams, and ask him to help you stir up some benevolent mischief or compassionate trouble.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A modern Israeli woman named Shoshana Hadad got into trouble because of an event that occurred long before she was born. In 580 B.C., one of her male ancestors married a divorced woman, which at that time was regarded as a sin. Religious authorities decreed that as punishment, none of his descendants could ever wed a member of the Cohen tribe. But Hadad did just that, which prompted rabbis to declare her union with Masoud Cohen illegal. I bring this tale to your attention as a way to illustrate the possibility that you, too, may soon have to deal with the consequences of past events. But now that I have forewarned you, I expect you will act wisely, not rashly.

You will pass a tricky test and resolve the old matter for good.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Want to live to be 100? Then be as boring as possible. That’s the conclusion of longevity researchers, as reported by the Weekly World News. To ensure a maximum life

span, you should do nothing that excites you. You should cultivate a neutral, blah personality, and never travel far from home. JUST KIDDING! I lied.

The Weekly World News is in fact a famous purveyor of fake news. The truth, according to my analysis of the astrological omens, is that you should be less boring in the next seven weeks than you have ever been in your life. To do so will be superb for your health, your wealth, and your future.

43 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 35 / August 31, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

entist Tim Berners-Lee invented the miraculous communication system that we know as the World Wide Web. When asked if he had any regrets about his pioneering work, he named just one. There was no need for him to have inserted the double slash — “//” — after the “http:” in web addresses. He’s sorry that Internet users have had to type those irrelevant extra characters so many billions of times. Let this serve as a teaching story for you, Virgo. As you create innovations in the coming weeks, be mindful of how you shape the basic features. The details you include in the beginning may endure.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems,” said businessman Lee Iacocca. You are currently wrestling with an example of this phenomenon, Aries. The camouflage is well-rendered. To expose the opportunity hidden beneath the apparent dilemma, you may have to be more strategic and less straightforward than you usually are — cagier and not as blunt. Can you manage that? I think so. Once you crack the riddle, taking advantage of the opportunity should be interesting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Close your eyes and imagine this: You and a beloved ally get lost in an enchanted forest, discover a mysterious treasure, and find your way back to civilization just before dark. Now visualize this: You give a dear companion a photo of your face taken on every one of your birthdays, and the two of you spend hours talking about your evolution. Picture this: You and an exciting accomplice luxuriate in a sunlit sanctuary surrounded by gourmet snacks as you listen to ecstatic music and bestow compliments on each other. These are examples of the kinds of experiments I invite you to try in the coming weeks.

Dream up some more! Here’s a keynote to inspire you: “sacred fun.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On its album Jefferson’s “Tree of Liberty,” Jefferson Starship plays a song I co-wrote, “In a Crisis.” On its album “Deeper Space/Virgin Sky,*” the band covers another tune I co-wrote, “Dark Ages.” Have I received a share of the record sales? Not a penny. Am I upset? Not at all. I’m glad the songs are being heard and enjoyed.

I’m gratified that a world-famous, multi-platinum band chose to record them. I’m pleased my musical creations are appreciated. Now here’s my question for you, Gemini: Has some good thing of yours been “borrowed”? Have you wielded a benevolent influence that hasn’t been fully acknowledged? I suggest you consider adopting an approach like mine.

It’s prime time to adjust your thinking about how your gifts and talents have been used, applied, or translated.

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! SISTERS

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Roger von Oech tells us that creativity often involves “the ability to take something out of one context and put it into another so that it takes on new meanings.”

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, this strategy could and should be your specialty in the coming weeks. “The first person to look at an oyster and think food had this ability,” says von Oech. “So did the first person to look at sheep intestines and think guitar strings. And so did the first person to look at a perfume vaporizer and think gasoline carburetor.” Be on the lookout, Cancerian, for inventive substitutions and ingenious replacements.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When famous socialite Nan Kempner was young, her mother took her shopping at Yves Saint Laurent’s salon. Nan got fixated on a certain white satin suit, but her mean old mother refused to buy it for her. “You’ve already spent too much of your monthly allowance,” mom said. But the resourceful girl came up with a successful gambit. She broke into sobs, and continued to cry nonstop until the store’s clerks lowered the price to an amount she could afford. You know me, Leo: I don’t usually recommend resorting to such extreme measures to get what you want. But now is one time when I am giving you a go-ahead to do just that.

C is for Cookie

Our take on two varieties that didn’t come from your (stoner) grandma’s kitchen

“D

o you like cookies”? I ask.

“Well,” you answer coyly, “I’m trying to be “good” this month and avoid gluten. Plus, I just restarted my vegan diet, yet again, but I just love butter so much, I’m so bad, tee-hee….”

Well, golly, TMI Tammy, that’s swell and all, and, you know, gluten-free kudos.

But you didn’t answer my question, so I will do it for you: Yes, you do.

Me, I love cookies. I don’t care if it has butter, sugar, wheat, or freeze dried kittens in it. (Although Cannabis Kitten Cookies are not a thing.) There is a reason I am known in some circles as “Cookie Monster.”

Let’s look at two companies making cannabis-infused cookie/cookie-like treats. Both come...highly recommended.

SHE DON’T KNOW About the name: SDK owner and CEO Jill Trinchero says, “It seems like everyone has the answers, but who really knows.” She started SDK in 2015, foregoing gluten, preservatives, corn syrup or dyes and infusing their offerings with “the clear,” a super clean THC distillate made using ethanol.

The products are micro-dosed at 5mg of THC per cookie, which Trinchero says is an amount most anyone can handle, and are made so because, as she put it, “Who eats half a cookie? People don’t eat half a cookie.” She readily admits to being a cannabis edible lightweight, and wanted to offer an option to others who may share her tolerance and dietary choices.

SDK is manufactured in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen with vegan options, but wait, come back here, because they are really good. I could eat these by the handful, which I haven’t done because I’m not a stoned bear with poor impulse control.

Doing the Whole30, paleo or clean diet plan? First, don’t tell me about it, because I don’t care—no one does or ever will—then grab your dietary pious self a Tokeless B. It’s a raw, gluten-free,

vegan, no-sugar-added bite of goodness made with organic dates, almonds, coconut and sour cherries. The Chocolate Chip Cannabis Cookie is also gluten free and just as tasty. This month they added a savory offering with C’est La Herb, a gluten free crisp, buttery cracker with Herbs de Provence and Maldon flake sea salt. sdksnacks.com ELBE’S EDIBLES Let’s start with their t-shirt: “My balls. Your mouth.”

No, it’s not “What are "Things #45 Has Said To Women.”

The balls in question are 15 mg THC infused cake balls in numerous flavors, one of the two product lines made by Elbe’s. They also make variously flavored snickerdoodle cookies, each containing 25 mg THC, including a lemon version. They delve into the why on their website, writing, “Lemon contains a terpene called Limone which is a hydrocarbon that has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier and interact with the brain.”

They also go a bit into the differences between Delta-9 and Delta-11 THC, so you can get informed while getting high. The more you know.

These folks started toiling in the Cookie Mines back in 2010, using a whole cannabis bud butter infusion.

They are one of the few companies I have found in the rec cannabis market still using full butter, which is the way I came up enjoying my edibles.

The Orange Creamsicle Cake Balls have an uncanny taste resemblance to its namesake frozen treat, and are all too tempting to have on hand in any great quantity. There is a clever cutting guide included in each package to help you determine your proper dose, making it easy to share.

Elbe’s recently dropped a 1:1 CBD/ THC ratio Gingersnap Snickerdoodle, with 25 mg of each. One gobbled resulted in a balanced, mellow high, the THC nicely complimented by the CBD. elbesedibles.com
