OPINION State of Emergency: The prospect of a failed real estate transaction, #inBend

D

uring the Sept. 20 Bend City Council meeting, councilors sent a clear message to the community about one thing: When a real estate transaction hangs in the balance, our City Council will step up to declare an emergency to right the wrong—no matter what that might look like to those struggling to keep a roof over their heads.

In an emergency declaration, the item decided upon can go into effect immediately, versus regular business that takes a mere 30 days to go into effect.

The item in question? A so-called “million dollar home,” as described by Councilor Justin Livingston, who also happens to be a real estate agent.

Herein lies an example of how important optics can be, when tasked with handling what otherwise might be the mundane business of changing city code.

During the meeting, councilors briefly debated whether to change the zoning for three and a half units at Deschutes Landing, a subdivision in the Southern Crossing neighborhood. The units were the only ones to fall under residential zoning, whereas the other 29.5 units in the subdivision fall under mixed-use zoning, allowing for Short-Term Rentals that aren’t required to fall under the 250-foot rule disallowing more than one STR within 250 feet of one another. As City Councilor Sally Russell mentioned during that meeting, it was something of an oversight on the part of the City Council not to have addressed those units when establishing STR regulations in 2105.

Since the subdivision’s rules—established before 2015—allowed for STRs, it’s fair to say that owners who owned their homes before the city made its changes should be able to expect the city to right that wrong. Fair enough.

What exceeds our sense of fairness

is to expect the City Council to make an emergency declaration to change the zoning for those three properties in Deschutes Landing, all so that a buyer looking to purchase one of those homes in 2017 could gain some assurance that the zoning would change—and change on the buyer’s time schedule.

State of Emergency for all of Bend?

Hardly.

We commend Councilor Barb Campbell, who ultimately voted in favor of the emergency change, but who initially expressed concern about the optics of the situation. We only wish she would have stuck to her guns and kept the emergency at bay. Here we are, Campbell said, in a housing crisis, and we’re essentially taking more long-term housing that could house locals, and opening up the possibility of housing short-term visitors instead.

But these are million dollar homes, Councilor Livingston stated during the meeting—hardly the locations those seeking affordable housing would look to. True enough—but there’s still the optics problem of appearing to pander to buyers in a million dollar home development by declaring an “emergency,” when really, a regular, 30-day approval process would do.

While ultimately we see no real harm in allowing the owners of these three and a half units to enjoy the same zoning that their neighbors do, we also see a major optics problem in a City Council so willing to declare an emergency to do so.

The pending peril of an individual real estate transaction is not an emergency for the City of Bend.

What is an emergency? The arrival of what’s expected to be another harsh winter, with fewer and fewer affordable homes for people to live in. SW

In the 9/20 feature, “A Hand Up,” the story incorrectly stated new requirements for the Oregon Promise grant program. The info should have said: "The requirement to apply within six months of graduation from high school or the GED completion is not a new requirement; it was in the originating legislation for the program.

What is new with legislation this year is that students in certain circumstances may be granted waivers to this requirement.”

In the 9/28 story “Honoring the Local Music Scene,” we neglected to credit the photographer for the photo of Mai from Moon Mountain Ramblers.

The photographer was Steve Giardini.

We regret the errors.

IN RESPONSE TO, “A HOUSE DIVIDED, DOES SHORT TERM RENTALS HELP SOLVE THE HOUSING CRISIS” (10/1)

It’s a supply problem, ultimately. If there were enough housing, then there’d be enough for both short term and long term rentals.

Also, STRs have an advantage over hotels in that they can easily be reconverted into LTRs or simply sold as a house to live in. Hotels are pretty much always going to just be hotels.

— David N. Welton

IN RESPONSE TO, “THE HEARTBREAK: TOM PETTY PASSES AWAY AT 66” (10/2) Too many incredible songs to list them all here; “Wildflowers,” “American Girl”, “Here Comes My Girl,” “Into the Great Wide Open,” “Learning to Fly,” etc. I was glad to see him in 1991 for the “Into the Great Wide Open” tour at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, NC. He was an incredible performer and songwriter. He will certainly be missed.

— Victor Johnson

IN RESPONSE TO, LAS VEGAS MASSACRE (10/2) We are the only country that experiences these massive shootings. We have more guns per person than any other country in the world. We are also told that there never is a good time to discuss this problem.

My conclusion is that we love guns more than other humans.

Now is the time. We are overdue. The people whose family members died want us to do this. This is not politics, this is healing wounds and preventing further tragedy.

— Michele Gemelas If now is not the time and last time wasn’t the time or the time before that, then is the next mass murder going to be the time, or do we just keep holding fucking gun rights as more precious than life? I’m so sick of this “don’t get into politics, just pray for the families” bullshit.

Fuck praying. Let’s make handheld death machines a little harder to get a hold of instead of praying over dead Americans again and again.

Killed by a white male, by the way, not a Muslim or anyone of Arab descent. When do we ban white Anglo’s/Christians from entering the country — seeing as they’ve been piling up a pretty insane body count.

— Tony Leeds It’s not the guns that are evil! It’s the people that pull the trigger that are evil.

— Jerime Bennett Politics are personal. They affect our lives. Every. Day. I think a lot of the families would want this to be talked about so that no other family has to go through the atrocity that is their life right now. Even one of the musicians who said he’s grown up against gun control said that after Sunday night he realized he’d

been 100% wrong the whole time.

Yes, this man passed all of the background checks, had no record and didn’t appear mentally unstable. That’s case and point enough that the "control" we have is not enough. When is enough, enough?!

— Shonna Edwards

WE NEED STRICTER GUN CONTROLS The people who bloat the battle cry of “Gun laws don’t work!” are not contributing anything to the conversation. Is it a PERFECT solution? Of course not. But will it HELP the situation? Of course it will.

How do we know this? Well, every major country, state, or city that has enforced stricter gun laws has seen a reduced rate of gun crime. It’s basic math. You’re right that we won’t be able to prevent ALL gun crime but fucking hell we can sure make it harder.

I’m a Canadian living in here. In order to rent a car I had to have a background check run on me, provide three pieces of ID (THREE!) as well as a credit check and had to pay a premium because I was a foreigner.

BUT there’s a pawn shop up the street that will sell me a handgun today.

And keep this in mind too. The U.S. government currently view the arsenal the Las Vegas shooter had was his “right” to bear arms, but the people who were injured during the massacre and needed proper medical care — they need to pay for that “privilege.”

— Jim Robinson

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Jim: Comparing the right to own a gun versus the right to health care: all I can say is, bravo. Not only that, there are crowdfunding campaigns out there to help pay for the care of the victims. Would they need that if they were in a universal health care country such as Canada? O wait, Canada, with its stricter gun control, has had just ONE mass shooting this year... (six worshippers killed at a mosque) versus 273 mass shootings in the U.S. this year. But I digress... right now, you have the right to a gift card to Palate! ­— Nicole Vulcan, Editor E.J.

Health Care For All?

As another Affordable Care Act repeal collapses, the once improbable single payer health care movement gains steam

By Magdalena Bokowa Dembrow, D-Portland, who he says has been trying to pass legislation “since 2011.” Others include Rep. Jennifer Williamson, D-Portland, and Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland.

“Interestingly the federal guys, Sen. Wyden and Sen. Merkley have only come around and gotten onboard recently,” says Stranahan. As for our local legislators—Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, and state Rep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend?

“Oh, they’ve been stonewalling me either quietly or not-so-politely for over two years,” laughs Stranahan. “We need to concentrate on spreading the word east and northeast.”

Requests for comment regarding single payer health care from Walden and Buehler went unanswered.

Though the bill has little chance of being passed in the Republican-controlled Senate, Sanders is gaining the support of many Democratic frontrunners for the 2020 election — in hopes it will pass then. The act would expand Medicare for four years and provide healthcare to every man, woman and child in the United States.

“All over this country, I have heard from Americans who have shared heartbreaking stories about our dysfunctional system, wrote Sanders in an op-ed in The New York Times. “Doctors have told me about patients who died because they put off their medical visits until it was too late. These were people who had no insurance or could not afford out-of-pocket costs imposed by their insurance plans.”

Greg Walden did us a big favor by betraying us on the attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act... People are starting to take notice of our fragmented system and where they were hopeless before, they're becoming hopeful there's change on the horizon."

— DAVE STRANAHAN

“I tend to be pretty fiscally responsible with thinking about spending public funds, which is why a universal coverage or single payer system for funding health care is so intriguing,” says Bend City Councilor, Dr. Nathan Boddie, who just announced his run for state House District 54 (Buehler’s current seat). Boddie says Oregon generally does better than other states with providing health care.

“The Affordable Care Act was a step in the right direction and expanded coverage to hundreds of thousands more patients in this congressional district alone and more than 20 million Americans nationwide — but it was never meant to be the complete solution,” he says. “We know our current model is clunky and leaves plenty of people with less coverage than they need while others are paying far more out of pocket costs or insurance premiums than is sustainable.”

State or Federal? Which way forward?

“Health care should be a right for every single American, not a privilege reserved for the healthy and the wealthy,” said Merkley when the bill was announced Sept. 13. “Right now, our health care system is incredibly complex, fragmented, and stressful. It would be terrific to have a simple, seamless system where, solely by virtue of living in America, you know that you will get the care you need.”

“The bill would revolutionize our health care system by taking out the insurance marketplace and replacing it with a public system paid by higher taxes,” said Nancy Joseph, a local nurse practitioner. “Everything from emergency procedures to birth services to mental health would be covered, with no co-payments.”

According to Sanders, employers would no longer have to be on the hook for paying high insurance premiums — expected to rise nearly 11 percent in 2018. Medicaid would be accepted stateto-state and private insurers would remain in the system if customers opted to pay for elective treatments such as plastic surgery.

“Employee-based health insurance is becoming less and less sustainable,” says Stranahan, who saw it first hand while he was negotiating health care as an employee for the Redmond School District. “Taking the burden off businesses small and large would mean they would do so much better, even from an economic standpoint. Whether you think it’s as pragmatic as a business-like perspective or a basic human rights perspective, it’s all the same solution.”

“There is no disagreement that making health care more accessible to more Oregonians is the right policy,” wrote Buehler in an op-ed in The Oregonian Jun. 20.

“Our disagreements are over the details of

funding, management and accountability.” Buehler, now in the running for Gov. Kate Brown’s seat, has not stated an official position on the federal bill.

Health insurance policies in Oregon are slated to rise by an average of 9.2 percent in 2018, according to Oregon’s Department of Consumer and Business Services. In Deschutes County, rate hikes will vary from a high of nearly 11 percent for Providence Health Plan to nearly 3 percent for PacificSource. On average, a 30-year-old female will pay approximately $415 per month for coverage—$4,800 a year with 30 percent copays under a Providence plan.

Still, rate hikes are significantly lower than they have been in years past, with an average hike of 27 percent in 2017 and 23 percent in 2016, after the advent of the Affordable Care Act, which has had its fair share of hiccups, including insurance providers exiting marketplaces in some counties.

A recent forum at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Bend saw a healthy turnout as local residents discussed the path to achieving single payer health coverage in Oregon. “A few years ago, we needed permission to talk about single payer,” says Stranahan, “but people are ready now. So it comes down to us, volunteers, on how to handle that much energy and channeling it into a useful way.”

Asked if he sees the adoption of single-payer mimicking the adoption of marriage equality, Stranahan agrees. "I often make that parallel. Thinking how 10 years ago it was on the fringes and then all of a sudden it reached a tipping point and became the norm and adopted federally. I could see that happening.”

And to naysayers concerned about costs, Stranahan points to the 2016 RAND report, stating single payer would likely cost the same amount as the current system — but covering everyone, regardless of income and without premiums or copays.

“I’d like to get across the idea that yes, single payer is so expensive, but clearly the information shows we can afford it because we are already paying it. It will cover everyone with better outcomes.”

Boddie adds, “Since the 1960s we’ve built our health care in the U.S. on a commercial or fee-for-service model. Many knew that wouldn’t work...the problem is, unwinding such a big part of our economy and moving to better models is complex and takes time.” SW “Health Insurance 101,” a free one-hour workshop on understanding health insurance, will take place at the Bend Library at 7:30pm on Wednesday, Oct. 25.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 40 / October 5, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

S

en. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., Medicare for All Act is now backed by 16 Democratic senators, and co-sponsored

by Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. With it, talks of universal health care are making headlines again, and actually gaining steam.

“We’ve made tremendous strides in expanding access to health care across our nation, but many Americans still are rightfully frustrated by the cost and complexity of our current system,” says Merkley. “It’s time to simplify health care and lower patients’ costs, and embrace Medicare for All.” Imagine this dream. Your husband suffers a sudden heart attack, or a traumatic injury, or is diagnosed with cancer and you don’t have to worry about the hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat him. Instead, you spend your days ensuring his recovery.

Or how about delivering your baby without worrying that a few extra days in the hospital may yield tens of thousands in charges? Or that a mental breakdown is avoided because your teenage son is able to see a free counselor—or that glaucoma is caught early and your mother’s eyesight is saved?

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, in every highly-developed nation—except the United States—this isn’t a dream. It’s reality, and it’s called Single Payer Health Care. It isn’t free; it comes out of your taxes—just like the roads your drive on, the potholes you swerve to miss and oh, yeah, that defense budget (now at $611 billion). According to the Congressional Budget Office, approximately $980 billion—50 percent of U.S. health care—is already funded through taxes; the other 50 percent through business and household pockets.

As recently as the last election, single payer was a fringe concept. “There’s a whole bunch of skirmishes going on right now,” says Dave Stranahan, “and I think we’re getting ready for the great big battle.” Stranahan is the local representative for Healthcare for All Oregon, a nonprofit dedicated to single payer for Oregon. The group’s leaders are hopeful that either through legislation or a ballot measure, the movement will gain steam and become reality as soon as 2020.

“Greg Walden did us a big favor by betraying us on the attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act,” he says. “People are starting to take notice of our fragmented system and where they were hopeless before, they’re becoming hopeful there’s change on the horizon.”

Stranahan points to the Oregon legislators who have been championing the cause, including, Sen. Michael

The Top 10 Stories You Probably Missed This Year

By Paul Rosenberg, Senior Editor, Random Lengths News n America, we commonly think of press freedom and censorship in terms of the First Amendment, which focuses attention on the press itself and limits on the power of government to restrict it. But the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, drafted in the aftermath of World War II, presents a broader framework. Article 19 reads: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

By highlighting the right to receive information and ideas, Article 19 makes it clear that press freedom is about everyone in society, not just the press, and that government censorship is only one potential way of thwarting that right. That’s the perspective that has informed Project Censored from the beginning, more than 40 years ago.

Even though Project Censored’s annual list focuses on specific censored stories, the underlying issue has never been isolated examples.

They serve to highlight how far short we fall from the fully-informed public that a healthy democracy requires — and that we all require in order to live healthy, safe, productive, satisfying lives. It’s the larger patterns of missing information, hidden problems and threats that should really concern us. Each Project Censored story provides some of that information, but the annual list helps shed light on these broader patterns of what’s missing, as well as on the specifics of the stories themselves.

After President Barack Obama declared a federal emergency in Flint, Mich., based on lead contamination of the city’s water supply in January 2016, Reuters reporters M.B. Pell and Joshua Schneyer began an investigation of lead contamination nationwide with shocking results. In June 2016, they reported that although many states and Medicaid rules require blood lead tests for young children, millions of children were not being tested. In December 2016, they reported on the highly decentralized data they had been able to assemble from 21 states, showing that 2,606 census tracts and 278 zip codes across the United States had levels of lead poisoning more than double the rates found in Flint at the peak of its contamination crisis.

Of those, 1,100 communities had lead contamination rates “at least four times higher” than Flint.

In Flint, 5 percent of the children screened high blood lead levels. Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 2.5 percent of all U.S. children younger than six — about 500,000 children — have elevated blood lead levels.

But Pell and Schneyer’s neighborhood focus allowed them to identify local hotspots “whose lead poisoning problems may be obscured in broader surveys,” such as those focused on statewide or countywide rates. They found them in communities that “stretch from Warren, Pennsylvania ... where 36 percent of children tested had high lead levels, to ... Goat Island, Texas, where a quarter of tests showed poisoning.”

What’s more, “In some pockets of Baltimore, Cleveland and Philadelphia, where lead poisoning has spanned generations, the rate of elevated tests over the last decade was 40 to 50 percent.”

In January 2017, Schneyer and Pell reported that, based on their previous investigation, “From California to Pennsylvania, local leaders, health officials and researchers are advancing measures to protect children from the toxic threat. They include more blood-lead screening, property inspections, hazard abatement and community outreach programs.”

But there’s a deeper infrastructure problem involved, as Farron Cousins reported for DeSmogBlog in January 2017. “Lead pipes are time bombs” and water contamination is to be expected, Cousins wrote. The U.S. relies on an estimated 1.2 million miles of lead pipes for municipal delivery of drinking water, and much of this aging infrastructure is reaching or has exceeded its lifespan.

In 2012 the American Water Works Association estimated that a complete overhaul of the nation’s aging water systems would require an investment of $1 trillion over the next 25 years, which could triple household water bills. As Cousins reported, a January 2017 Michigan State University study found that, “while water rates are currently unaffordable for an estimated 11.9 percent of households, the conservative estimates of rising rates used in this study highlight that this number could grow to 35.6 percent in the next five years.”

As Cousins concluded, “While the water contamination crisis will occasionally steal a headline or two, virtually no attention has been paid to the fact that we’re pricing a third of United States citizens out of the water market.”

OVER SIX TRILLION DOLLARS IN UNACCOUNTABLE ARMY SPENDING

PENTAGON PAID PR FIRM IN THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR FAKE AL-QAEDA VIDEOS

Concern over Russian involvement in promoting fake news during the 2016 election is a justified hot topic in the news. But what about our own involvement in similar operations? In October 2016, Crofton Black and Abigail Fielding-Smith reported for the Bureau of Investigative Journalism on one such very expensive—and questionable— operation. The Pentagon paid a British PR firm, Bell Pottinger, more than $660 million to run a top-secret propaganda program in Iraq from at least 2006 to December 2011.

The work consisted of three types of products: TV commercials portraying al-Qaeda in a negative light, news items intended to look like Arabic TV, and—most disturbing—fake al-Qaeda propaganda films.

A former Bell Pottinger video editor, Martin Wells, told the Bureau that he was given precise instructions for production of fake al-Qaeda films, and that the firm’s output was approved by former General David Petraeus—the commander of the coalition forces in Iraq—and on occasion by the White House. They reported that the United States used contractors because “the military didn’t have the in-house expertise and was operating in a legal ‘grey area.’”

The reporters “traced the firm’s Iraq work through U.S. army contracting censuses, federal procurement transaction records and reports by the Defense Department’s inspector general, as well as Bell Pottinger’s corporate filings and specialist publications on military propaganda.” Black and

VOTER SUPPRESSION IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

The 2016 election was the first election in 50 years without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act, first passed in 1965. In Shelby County v. Holder (2013), a 5-4 conservative majority in the Supreme Court struck down a key provision requiring jurisdictions with a history of violations to “pre-clear” changes. As a result, changes to voting laws in nine states and parts of six others with long histories of racial discrimination in voting were no longer subject to federal government approval in advance.

Since Shelby, 14 states, including many southern states and key swing states, implemented new voting restrictions, in many cases just in time for the election. These included restrictive voter-identification laws in Texas and North Carolina, English-only elections in many Florida counties, as well as last-minute changes of poll locations, and changes in Arizona voting laws that had previously been rejected by the Department of Justice before the Shelby decision.

Ari Berman, author of Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America, was foremost among a small number of non-mainstream journalists to cover the suppression efforts and their results.

In May 2017, he reported on an analysis of the effects of voter suppression by Priorities U.S.A, which showed that strict voter-ID laws in Wisconsin and other states resulted in a “significant reduction” in voter turnout in 2016 with “a disproportionate impact on African-American and Democratic-leaning voters.” Berman noted that turnout was reduced by 200,000 votes in Wisconsin, while Donald Trump won the state by just over 22,000 votes.

Nationwide, the study found that the change in voter turnout from 2012 to 2016 was significantly impacted by new voter-ID laws. In counties that were more than 40 percent African-American, turnout dropped 5 percent with new voter-ID laws, compared to 2.2 percent without. In counties that were less than 10 percent African-American, turnout decreased 0.7 percent with new voter-ID laws, compared to a 1.9 percent increase without. As Berman concluded, “This study provides more evidence for the claim that voter-ID laws are designed not to stop voter impersonation fraud, which is virtually nonexistent, but to make it harder for certain communities to vote.”

As Berman noted in an article published

by Moyers & Co. in December 2016, the topic of “gutting” the Voting Rights Act did not arise once during the 26 presidential debates prior to the election, and “[c]able news devoted hours and hours to Trump’s absurd claim that the election was rigged against him while spending precious little time on the real threat that voters faced.”

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 40 / October 5, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

In 1996, Congress passed legislation requiring all government agencies to undergo annual audits, but a July 2016 report by the Defense Department’s inspector general found that the Army alone has accumulated $6.5 trillion in expenditures that can’t be accounted for over the past two decades.

As Dave Lindorff reported for This Can’t Be Happening!, the DoD “has not been tracking or recording or auditing all of the taxpayer money allocated by Congress — what it was spent on, how well it was spent, or where the money actually ended up.” But the Army wasn’t alone. “Things aren’t any better at the Navy, Air Force and Marines,” he added.

The report appeared at a time when, “politicians of both major political parties are demanding accountability for every penny spent on welfare.... Ditto for people receiving unemployment compensation,” Lindorff wrote. Politicians have also engaged in pervasive efforts “to make teachers accountable for student ‘performance,’” he added.

Yet, he observed, “the military doesn’t have to account for any of its trillions of dollars of spending ... even though Congress fully a generation ago passed a law requiring such accountability.”

In March 2017, after Trump proposed a $52 billion increase in military spending, Thomas Hedges reported for The Guardian that, “the Pentagon has exempted itself without consequence for 20 years now, telling the Government Accountability Office that collecting and organizing the required information for a full audit is too costly and time-consuming.”

The most recent DoD audit deadline was September 2017, yet neither the Pentagon, Congress, nor the media seem to have paid any attention.

Fielding-Smith also interviewed former officials and contractors involved in information operations in Iraq.

Documents show that Bell Pottinger employed as many as 300 British and Iraqi staff at one point; and its media operations in Iraq cost more than $100 million per year on average. It’s remarkable that an operation on this scale has been totally ignored in midst of so much focus on “fake news” here in the United States.

his opponent as pro-Communist, including a boiler-room operation generating phone calls to registered Democrats, which simply said, “This is a friend of yours, but I can’t tell you who I am. Did you know that Jerry Voorhis is a Communist?” Then the caller would hang up.

In 2016, the same basic strategy was employed but with decades of refinement, technological advances, and massively more money behind it. A key player in this was right-wing computer scientist and hedgefund billionaire Robert Mercer, who contributed $13.5 million to Trump’s campaign and also funded Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics company that specializes in “election management strategies” and using “psychographic” microtargeting — based on thousands of pieces of data for some 220 million American voters — as Carole Cadwalladr reported for the Guardian in February 2017. After Trump’s victory, Cambridge Analytica’s CEO Alexander Nix said, “We are thrilled that our revolutionary approach to data-driven communication has played such an integral part in President-elect Trump’s extraordinary win.”

Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, Strategic Communication Laboratories, was more old-school until recently in elections across Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. In Trinidad, it paid for the painting of graffiti slogans purporting to be from grassroots youth. In Nigeria, it advised its client party to suppress the vote of their opposition “by organizing anti-poll rallies on the day of the election.”

But now they’re able to micro-target their deceptive, disruptive messaging. “Pretty much every message that Trump put out was data-driven” after they joined the campaign, Nix said in September 2016. On the day of the third presidential debate, Trump’s team “tested 175,000 different ad variations for his arguments” via Facebook.

This messaging had everything to do with how those targeted would respond, not with Trump’s or Mercer’s views. In a New Yorker profile, Jane Mayer noted that Mercer argued that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a major mistake, a subject not remotely hinted at during the campaign.

everything else off the table—even if they don’t speak publicly, and even if there’s almost no public awareness of his or her views,” Trevor Potter, former chair of the Federal Election Commission, told Mayer.

With the real patterns of influence, ideology, money, power and belief hidden from view, the very concept of democratic self-governance is now fundamentally at risk.

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT “SUPERBUGS” THREATEN HEALTH AND FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN MEDICINE

The problem of antibiotics giving rise to more dangerous drug-resistant germs (“superbugs”) has been present since the early days of penicillin, but has now reached a crisis, with companies creating dangerous superbugs when their factories leak industrial waste, as reported by Madlen Davies of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in September 2016. Factories in China and India—where the majority of worldwide antibiotics are manufactured—have released “untreated waste fluid” into local soils and waters, leading to increases in antimicrobial resistance that diminish the effectiveness of antibiotics and threaten the foundations of modern medicine.

“After bacteria in the environment become resistant, they can exchange genetic material with other germs, spreading antibiotic resistance around the world, according to an assessment issued by the European Public Health Alliance, which served as the basis for Davies’s news report,” Projected Censored explained. One strain of drug-resistant bacterium that originated in India in 2014 has since spread to 70 other countries.

Superbugs have already killed an estimated 25,000 people across Europe — thus globally posing “as big a threat as terrorism,” according to a UK National Health Service Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies.

“At the heart of the issue is how to motivate pharmaceutical companies to improve their production practices. With strong demand for antibiotics, the companies continue to profit despite the negative consequences of their actions,” Project Censored noted. “The EPHA assessment recommended five responses that major purchasers of

medicines could implement to help stop antibiotic pollution. Among these recommendations are blacklisting pharmaceutical companies that contribute to the spread of superbugs through irresponsible practices, and promoting legislation to incorporate environmental criteria into the industry’s good manufacturing practices.”

Superbugs are especially threatening modern medicine, in which a wide range of sophisticated practices—organ transplants, joint replacements, cancer chemotherapy and care of pre-term infants—“will become more difficult or even too dangerous to undertake,” according to Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organization.

“Although the threat of antibiotic-resistant microbes is well documented in scientific publications, there is little to no coverage on superbugs in the corporate press,” Project Censored noted. “What corporate news coverage there is tends to exaggerate the risks and consequences of natural outbreaks—as seen during the Ebola scare in the U.S. in 2014—rather than reporting on the preventable spread of superbugs by irresponsible pharmaceutical companies.”

Once again, it’s not just a problem of suppressing a single story, but two overlapping patterns—the biological problem of superbugs and political economy problem of the corporate practices that produce them so wantonly.

THE TOLL OF U.S. NAVY TRAINING ON WILDLIFE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC

The U.S. Navy has killed, injured or harassed marine mammals in the North Pacific almost 12 million times over a fiveyear period, according to research conducted by The West Coast Action Alliance and reported by Dahr Jamail for Truthout.

This includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, sea lions and other marine wildlife such as endangered species like humpback whales, blue whales, gray whales, sperm whales, Steller sea lions and sea otters. The number was tabulated from the Navy’s Northwest Training and Testing environmental impact statement and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Letter of Authorization for the number of “takes” of marine mammals caused by Navy exercises.

“A ‘take’ is a form of harm to an animal that ranges from harassment, to injury, and sometimes to death,” Jamail wrote. “Many wildlife conservationists see even ‘takes’ that only cause behavior changes as injurious, because chronic harassment of animals that are feeding or breeding can end up harming, or even contributing to their deaths if they are driven out of habitats critical to their survival.”

As the Alliance noted, this does not include impacts on “endangered and threatened seabirds, fish, sea turtles or terrestrial species” due to Navy activities, which have expanded dramatically, according to the Navy’s October 2015 environmental impact statement, including: -- A 778 percent increase in number of torpedoes -- A 400 percent increase in air-to-surface missile exercises (including Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary) -- A 1,150 percent increase in drone aircraft -- An increase from none to 284 sonar testing events in inland waters “It is, and has been for quite some time now, well known in the scientific community that the Navy’s use of sonar can damage and kill marine life,” Jamail reported.

“With little oversight on Navy training activities, the public is left in the dark regarding their environmental impacts, including especially how Navy operations impact fish in the North Pacific and marine life at the bottom of the food chain,” Project Censored noted.

“There has been almost no coverage of these impacts in the corporate press.”

MATERNAL MORTALITY A GROWING THREAT IN THE U.S.

The U.S. maternal mortality rate is rising, while it’s falling elsewhere across the developed world. Serious injuries and complications are needlessly even more widespread with shockingly little attention being paid.

“Each year over 600 women in the U.S. die from pregnancy-related causes and over 65,000 experience life-threatening complications or severe maternal morbidity,” Elizabeth Dawes Gay reported, covering an April 2016 congressional briefing organized by Women’s Policy Inc. “The average national rate of maternal mortality has increased from 12 per 100,000 live births in 1998 to 15.9

twice as likely to experience these injuries as women who have a cesarean or who have not given birth. For one in 10 women, the problem is severe enough to warrant surgery.”

“The corporate news media have paid limited attention to maternal mortality and morbidity in the U.S.,” Project Censored notes. There have been scattered stories, but nothing remotely close to the sort of sustained coverage that is warranted.

DNC CLAIMS RIGHT TO SELECT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

A key story about the 2016 election has mostly been ignored by the media—a class-action lawsuit alleging that the Democratic National Committee broke legally-binding neutrality agreements in the Democratic primaries by strategizing to make Hillary Clinton the nominee before a single vote was cast. The lawsuit was filed against the DNC and its former chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, in June 2016 by Beck & Lee, a Miami law firm, on behalf of supporters of Bernie Sanders. A hearing was held on suit in April 2017, in which DNC lawyers argued that neutrality was not actually required and that the court had no jurisdiction to assess neutral treatment.

As Michael Sainato reported for the Observer, DNC attorneys claimed that Article V, Section 4 of the DNC Charter—which instructs the DNC chair and staff to ensure neutrality in the Democratic presidential primaries—is actually “a discretionary rule” that the DNC “didn’t need to adopt to begin with.” In addition, DNC attorney Bruce Spiva later said it was within the DNC’s rights to “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way.” Sainato also reported that DNC attorneys argued that specific terms used in the DNC charter—including “impartial” and “evenhanded”—couldn’t be interpreted in a court of law, because it would “drag the Court ... into a political question and a question of how the party runs its own affairs.”

Jared Beck, representing the Sanders’s supporters, responded, “Your Honor, I’m shocked to hear that we can’t define what it means to be evenhanded and impartial. If that were the case, we couldn’t have courts. I mean, that’s what courts do every day, is decide disputes in an evenhanded

and impartial manner.” Not only was running elections in a fair and impartial manner a “bedrock assumption” of democracy, Beck argued earlier, it was also a binding commitment for the DNC: “That’s what the Democratic National Committee’s own charter says,” he said. “It says it in black and white.”

Much of the reporting and commentary on the broader subject of the DNC’s collusion with the Clinton campaign has been speculative and misdirected, focused on questions about voter fraud and countered by claims of indulging in “conspiracy theory.” But this trial focuses on documentary evidence and questions of law—all publicly visible yet still treated as suspect, when not simply ignored out of hand.

As Project Censored notes, “[E]ven Michael Sainato’s reporting—which has consistently used official documents, including the leaked DNC emails and courtroom transcripts, as primary sources—has been repeatedly labeled “opinion”—rather than straight news reporting—by his publisher, the Observer.”

2016: A RECORD YEAR FOR GLOBAL INTERNET SHUTDOWNS

In 2016, governments around the world shut down Internet access more than 50 times, according to the digital rights organization Access Now, “suppressing elections, slowing economies and limiting free speech,” as Lyndal Rowlands reported for the Inter Press Service.

“In the worst cases internet shutdowns have been associated with human rights violations,” Rowlands was told by Deji Olukotun, of Access Now. “What we have found is that Internet shutdowns go hand in hand with atrocities.” Olukotun said.

Kevin Collier also covered the report for Vocativ, noting that Access Now uses a “conservative metric,” counting “repeated, similar outages”—like those which occurred during Gabon’s widely criticized Internet “curfew”—as a single instance.

The Vocativ report included a dynamic map chart, designed by Kaitlyn Kelly, that vividly depicts Internet shutdowns around the world, month by month for all of 2016, as documented by Access Now. “Many countries intentionally blacked out Internet access during elections and to

quell protest. Not only do these shutdowns restrict freedom of speech, they also hurt economies around the world,” Project Censored notes. “TechCrunch, IPS, and other independent news organizations reported that a Brookings Institution study found that Internet shutdowns cost countries $2.4 billion between July 2015 and June 2016”— a conservative estimate according to the study’s author, Darrell West.

As Olukotun told IPS, one way to stop government shutdowns is for Internet providers to resist government demands. “Telecommunications companies can push back on government orders, or at least document them to show what’s been happening, to at least have a paper trail,” Olukotun observed.

In a resolution passed in July 2016, the U.N. Human Rights Council described the Internet as having “great potential to accelerate human progress.” It also condemned “measures to intentionally prevent or disrupt access to or dissemination of information online.”

On July 1, 2016, the U.N. Human Rights Council passed a nonbinding resolution signed by more than 70 countries lauding the Internet’s “great potential to accelerate human progress,” and condemning “measures to intentionally prevent or disrupt access to or dissemination of information online.” It noted that, “the exercise of human rights, in particular the right to freedom of expression, on the Internet is an issue of increasing interest and importance.”

Yet, “understanding what this means for Internet users can be difficult,” Azad Essa reported for Al Jazeera in May 2017. Advocates of online rights “need to be constantly pushing for laws that protect this space and demand that governments meet their obligations in digital spaces just as in non-digital spaces,” he was told by the U.N.’s special rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, David Kaye.

in 2012, after peaking at 17.8 in 2011.”

“The U.S. is the only nation in the developed world with a rising maternal mortality rate,” Rep. Lois Capps stated at the meeting.

“Inadequate health care in rural areas and racial disparities are drivers of this maternal health crisis,” Project Censored summarized. “Nationally, African American women are three to four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related causes, with rates even higher in parts of the U.S. that Gay characterized as ‘pockets of neglect,’ such as Georgia, where the 2011 maternal mortality rate of 28.7 per 100,000 live births was nearly double the national average.”

The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health, has developed safety bundles of ‘best practices, guidelines and protocols to improve maternal health care quality and safety,’” Gay wrote. “These ‘bundles’ include equipping hospital labor units with a fully stocked cart for immediate hemorrhage treatment, establishing a hospital-level emergency management protocol, conducting regular staff drills and reviewing all cases to learn from past mistakes, among other things.”

More broadly, Kiera Butler reported for Mother Jones that doctors rarely warn patients of the potential for serious injuries and complications that can occur following birth.

“Women have a right to make informed decisions about their bodies and serious medical situations; however, when it comes to birth and its aftereffects, Butler found that doctors simply are not providing vital information,” Project Censored summarized.

Many state laws require doctors to inform women of the potential complications and dangers associated with delivery, but none require them to discuss potential long-term problems, including the fact that some complications are more prevalent in women who give birth vaginally, rather than by C-section.

“All told, according to a 2008 study by researchers at the California HMO Kaiser Permanente, about one in three women suffer from a pelvic floor disorder (a category that includes urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and prolapse), and roughly 80 percent of those women are mothers,” Butler reported. “Women who deliver vaginally are

Up SOUND Rise Denver’s alternative hip-hop band Flobots discusses using music for non-violent protest and listeners supporting the projects they believe in

“As much as we worked on the Flobots album, we also worked on specifically gathering protest songs and training people on how to use music in protest, specifically as a way of promoting non-violent discipline,” Brackett says. “What we started looking at was that, ‘Oh! There’s a very real reason why past movements have used music so effectively."

“One of the beautiful things we’ve found when you get together and you’re singing a song of mourning or anger or hope with 200 people, it’s an emotional argument. Right now, I feel like we as people, regardless of whatever side we see ourselves on, are far more persuaded by that. When we hear 200 voices singing in the same emotional place, even if we don’t agree, I feel like we’re always more receptive to it, when it’s a group of people doing it in one accord, with integrity. I think that’s one of the things that the arts do. If you pair your message with beauty, it can, many times, penetrate the noise of the world.”

The Flobots have also taken the album release process to the streets,

Stephen “Brer Rabbit” Brackett and Jamie “Jonny 5” Laurie sing together with Denver’s 303 Chorus.

using Kickstarter to raise funds for their next two albums, including the latest one, “No Enemies.”

“It is so, so nice to have the pressure come from people who really believe in you and really want you to do something great, as opposed to a label whose biggest concern is to make money,” Brackett says. “We sit down with a whole new intention when writing a song or playing the piano. It’s a pressure, but a good pressure, a transparent fan-base kind of thing. I think I’d have difficulty going back. Through Kickstarter, people can directly support those projects that they really believe

in. I think that’s the way it should be, the way it once was.”

Through music, the Flobots continue their quest to bring people together and feel less alone. Brackett says when they perform live, genres and categories disappear, and it’s all about the vibe you build together. SW

Dynamic Duo

Acoustic rock/hip-hop duo The Trebleshooters emerge from the local open mic scene

By Anne Pick

B

efore I get too far into this show preview, I should offer the disclaimer that The Trebleshooters lead singer, Adam Sworob, and I have been friends nearly since the beginning of his residency in Bend. Sworob moved to Bend four and a half years ago and started working at G5, where I also worked at the time. I quickly learned about Sworob’s musical talents, as he and his acoustic guitar came as a packaged deal on many group trips.

Sworob, originally from Philadelphia, Pa., came to Bend by way of Portland. Over the last three years, he and his acoustic guitar have been a fixture on the Open Mic circuit, with The Lot and M&J Tavern being among his regular venues. Through playing Open Mic nights, Sworob met Eric Holthaus and the two started jamming together.

Holthaus, who plays the cajon, remembers jumping on with anyone who needed drums at Open Mic nights— including Sworob.

“Everyone has their own version of music, drums could fit inside no matter what they chose,” Holthaus says.

“There’s some sense of structure there.

With music, it’s about hearing it as a

language and be able to speak it universally. I suppose that’s my goal. to break everything down.”

When it comes to this dynamic duo, their genre has been hard to define, though they do incorporate ‘90s-esque indie rock with hip-hop elements.

Here’s the catch: they only play acoustic instruments, but wouldn’t describe themselves as an acoustic band.

“I think the easiest one to say is acoustic,” Sworob says of the duo’s genre. “I play acoustic guitar and Eric plays the cajon. I feel like the sound people associate with acoustic music is really far from what we sound like.”

While most acoustic music brings to mind folk singer-songwriters and Americana music, The Trebleshooters turn the definition on its head.

With rap-inspired lyrics and songs taking on themes of coffee addiction, dog deprivation and the “Three that Got Away,” The Trebleshooters definitely aim for a light-hearted sound and performance style.

“The lyrics are really a highlight to the whole project,” Holthaus says. “I guess the best part about that is if you pay attention to the lyrics, you may

catch on to an interesting story and a lot of clever word choice.”

Sworob typically writes the lyrics first and then the music. The songs are largely his ideas; Holthaus helps solidify the structure, often coming to Sworob with a chord progress, for example. The collaboration process has been even easier for the two, as they’re now roommates.

The duo plans to have a single out soon, including recording with Dayne Wood of Woebegone at his studio, The Firing Room. The guys currently have nine songs ready to go and hope to release their debut album, “Treble Starters I: Straight Shooters,” by the end of the year. And if you like pun-y

album titles and songwriting, you’re in luck, because they have titles for the next couple albums already in the vault.

“Here in Bend, there are so many really talented people, even at the Open Mic nights or playing around town,” Sworob says. “They are pretty good, inspiring. We don’t by any means have the largest community, but there’s a lot of diversity and talent here. I can’t wait to continue to be a part of it and contribute to it.” SW The Trebleshooters

f you haven’t been keeping up with Denver-based alternative hip-hop band Flobots since their popular hit single “Handlebars” debuted in 2008, you’ve been missing out. In addition to creating topical, catchy alternative hip-hop jams, the Flobots have taken to the streets to organize grassroots trainings—using music as a tool for revolution.

“In the year in between ‘The Circle in the Square’ and ‘No Enemies,’ we actually made an concerted effort to do a lot more grassroots organizing work and protest work,” Stephen “Brer Rabbit” Brackett says. “I think if we ended up staying a little too far out of the trenches, our lyrics would be coming from an academic place rather than a lived place. Most of the lyrics that we were coming with were direct stories or experiences from people in the trenches that we’d been with.”

Brackett also says that countless books and movies went into the stew when creating their latest hip-hopmeets-rock album. Hip-hop, he says, has always been a sort of pop culture reference art form.

all is here—but, wait! We know hot cocoa and big puffy jackets are calling your name, but before settling into the warm, winter confines of your homes, we invite you to come out and join us in celebration of each other and this beautiful town we call home—Bend, Oregon! Enjoy this fleeting time that we call autumn with a festive gathering with seasonal food, fun and friends. Though brief, the fall season brings cooler days for layering with your favorite wool sweater and colder nights that pair perfectly with a hot cup of cider. Pumpkin carving, pie baking and the smell of leaves after it rains—all of these things make the shorter days feel worthwhile!

It’s fall, so fall on in and enjoy all of these things at the 26th annual First Interstate Bank Fall Festival in downtown Bend, Oct. 6-8, presented by e Source Weekly!

Join us for all things fall, all weekend long! We’ll have music, art, activities and food for the whole family.

Two music stages, the Plantae Mainstage on Oregon Avenue and the 88.9 KPOV Locals Only Stage in the Wells Fargo parking lot, will provide a variety of local and regional talent—the Flobots, Cedar Teeth, Travis Ehrenstrom Band, Coyote Willow—and many more!

Let’s not forget that the Family Fun Street is a central tradition of the First Interstate Bank Fall Festival—and this year it is filled with art activities, pumpkin painting, bounce houses, face painting—and more! ese activities and more can be found on Oregon St., between Bond and Lava. e festival’s offerings also include the Harvest Market, featuring farm to table market vendors. e Market is located on Minnesota Ave. between Bond and Lava, and is abundant with the colors, tastes and textures of the most fruitful time of year. Come indulge in the bountiful produce, wholesome health items and other products grown and homemade in our Oregon community. e Cascade Sotheby’s Gourmet Food and Wine street is back! Enjoy milling about the various fine food, wine and living vendors on Minnesota Ave., between Wall St. and Bond. Love wine, but don’t know much about it?

BARRACUDA W/ ALL FIRED UP, SHOOTING STAR FLOBOTS

9:15PM

Flobots, hailing from Denver, Co., offer a delightful blend of alternative rock and hip hop with a generous helping of political activism. Their influences include progressive rappers Common and the Roots—even alternative rock band Rage Against the Machine. Founding MCs Jonny 5 and Brer Rabbit describe their 2017 album, “No Enemies,” as a “body of protest songs that speak to the urgency of the current moment.” Upbeat and soulful, Flobots are sure to deliver a powerful show.

BOXCAR STRINGBAND

5PM OBJECT HEAVY

Boxcar Stringband is a three-man rock and roll blues machine! The trio plays an eclectic mix of old school rock, blues and rockabilly—with a keen sense of retro style to match! While the band is based out of Bend, Or., its members bring influences from the greater Pacific Northwest and far beyond. If you like to boogie, then these guys are a must see.

7PM

Object Heavy started off as the house band at The Jambalaya in Northern California, but quickly evolved into a working band performing their original take on soul, funk and hip hop. Don’t miss the highly contagious funk and infectious soul of one of Northern Cali’s most prolific and entertaining bands!

SUNDAY, OCT. 8 LIFE DURING WARTIME

4PM

THE BROTHERS REED

11:30AM WATKINS GLEN

The Brothers Reed family blend of folk encapsulates the grit and humor of Midwest life with the swagger and serenity of the West Coast. Their style evokes finger picking folk singers of the 60’s and 70’s, with a contemporary and boundless edge. Cultivated from years of performing in bands ranging from heavy metal to reggae and rock, to punk, country and funk, their musical dichotomy is at the root of their diverse yet seamless folk-brand.

1:30PM

Named after the biggest rock concert of the 70’s, Watkins Glen is an Oregon-based rock band that strives to create magical musical moments while paying tribute to the repertoires of The Band, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band and Little Feat. Watkins Glen has developed a reputation for delivering great renditions of these bands’ classic songs, writing truly creative set lists and whipping audiences into frenzy with their scorching improvisational live jams.

Pat Benatar tribute band All Fired Up will share the stage, covering everything from “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” to “Heartbreaker.” Can’t get enough? Shooting Star brings a taste of 1970’s London to Bend with the best of Band Company. Prepare yourself for a night of hard-hitting classic rock.

HUTCH AND GENTRY 11AM TRAILER 31

CEDAR TEETH

1PM

Cedar Teeth hails from the Cascade foothills, where the sound of saws cut through the Oregon woods and the lights of Portland set the western horizon aglow. Between the five members of the band emerges a fusion of guitars, banjo, keys and trombone, propelled by bass and drums. Sweeping and immersive vocal harmonies weave throughout, at turns rustically melodic and lyrically raw. Picture Neil Young meets Wilco.

3PM

Modern American folk music meets old time jams, giving you the foot stompin’, knee slappin’ sound of Trailer 31! Their music is heavily inspired by their individual journeys though life and their exploration of the great state of Oregon. Bring a friend and let Trailer 31 put a skip in your step!

Hutch and Gentry and the Crooked River Drifters will serenade you with high mountain old time music, peppered with ragtime, roots and blues. The group consists of an exciting group of talented musicians from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Hutchins, who leads the project, has spent the past 15 years learning, performing and exploring America’s traditional roots music.

JUJU EYEBALL

David Greenwald

For Portland-based band Life During Wartime, every performance matters. That’s the mantra that keeps them delivering solid covers of the Talking Heads, a band that created some of the most adventurous and danceable music of the 1980’s post-punk era. Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or just want to see a good show, Life During Wartime is sure to deliver electrifying interpretations of legendary hits.

9:15PM

Barracuda joins us from the mystical city of Vancouver, B.C., where Ann and Nancy Wilson originally formed the band Heart back in 1967. Performing the music of Heart, Pat Benatar and Bad Company with style, presence and a true passion for the songs that have become beloved classics to fans worldwide, Barracuda is a tribute band not to miss.

4:30PM

Bend has their very own Beatles cover band! From “She Loves You” to “She’s So Heavy,” Juju Eyeball covers a wide range of the Beatles repertoire. With great vocals, top notch musicianship and no shortage of good material, JuJu Eyeball delivers the sound and excitement of the greatest band in rock history.

So get back to the days of Beatlemania—and party on, Jojo.

COLOSO

Mike Ficher

By Richard Sitts

ARTWATCH

Teafly’s First Friday Art Walk Picks It’s funny how often we forget how many ways Art can present itself in our lives.

Often we stop at painting or music, but art doesn’t have to hang on a wall for us to enjoy it. It can dance on that wall in a ballet of light. It can be an unassuming performance that both scares us and intrigues us.

This First Friday I have two interesting picks—both will take you off the beaten path of the usual art walk; two events that will allow you to travel to worlds you may not be privy to in your everyday life.

L

I G H T

to use and decided to knock off a ditty they played in their live shows. The song, “Tequila,” was first released as a B-side before it became a massive hit, selling more than six million records. And, Ficher recounts, Tommy James and the Shondells were in their New York City studio having trouble coming up with the song that would become “Mony, Mony,” when James looked out the window and saw a sign for Mutual of New York.

“Those stories make the music more human,” Ficher says. Each show he produces has a theme, and Ficher says he still has a lengthy list of themes yet to do.

Ficher says his favorite decade of music is the 1960s, including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Phil Spector, Motown, Stax Volt, the psychedelic groove and the British Invasion, along with the influences of the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, the Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, and the drug culture.

“It’s an absolutely stunning wealth

of music that came out and it all still sounds great.”

Over the years, Ficher says he’s been fortunate enough to interview a number of music insiders, including classic songwriter Jimmy Webb, James of the Shondells, Emilio Castillo from Tower of Power, and the queen of backup singers, Darlene Love, now a headliner in her own right.

Ficher feels it’s a no-brainer that most of his listener demographic is older folks, although, “I have had some younger listeners who have gotten in touch with me and said they like the music.”

Ficher also keeps busy acting in several local theater groups and is a sportscaster broadcasting local high school games on COTV. So which medium does he prefer: TV or radio?

“I love both, but radio is the most fun—it’s theater of the mind. You’re putting visuals into a listener’s head.” SW

By Teafly Peterson Sprout Film Festival Fri., Oct. 6, 7-9 p.m.

Tower Theater

Film is a wonder of an Art form— incorporating images and music and words that allow us insight into worlds we never thought we could travel to, showing us the lives of people who might remain a mystery to us. The Sprout Film Festival, in its own words, “makes the invisible visible” by presenting an array of films exclusively made by and featuring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Showcasing both narrative and documentary films, The Sprout Film Festival has been presenting these unique films for over 10 years, with the goal of building compassion for a population of our community that is often overlooked and not fairly represented in our media landscape.

Lights-Camera-No Action presents Reservoir Dogs

Jubelale Artist Announced

"Reservoir Dogs" was a cult hit back in the 1990s when it first came to theaters. Quentin Tarantino was immediately hailed as a modern auteur and every boy on your ski team was spouting lines from the film. Guaranteed. But here is the twist: what if women read these parts? How would you feel about it? That's exactly what the people at 2nd Street Theater are attempting, with a live-reading. Nine women will take the stage as the iconic figures of Mr. Pink, Mr. Brown and the rest of the gang.

Perhaps this First Friday, rather than walking the downtown blocks, looking at paintings and searching for some new fall boots, dedicate yourself to a new understanding of how you can share art with others.

Deschutes Brewery’s annual winter seasonal, Jubelale, comes out in November—this year featuring Bend artist MaryLea Harris.

The artist’s custom snowflake design features layered plaster and acrylic paint on canvas, with recycled plastic gift cards used as scraping tools and Jubelale posters and related articles glued to the background. Harris will be on hand at First Friday, Fri, Oct. 6 at the Deschutes Public House, and will sign posters at the pub Mon., Oct. 16. SW

Fri, Oct 6 at 7:30pm 2nd Street Theater

in June of 2005. “I came late to the game,” he says. “I wasn’t very good when I started.

Hopefully, I’m getting better.”

Since July, Ficher’s day job has been working as a pricing analyst in the purchasing department at Les Schwab.

For five and a half years before that, he worked for Bend Broadband. He has a degree in business management with a minor in journalism from San Francisco State University.

Ficher also has been a contributing writer for the Source in years past.

On The Ultimate Oldies Show, he plays the hits but likes to “dig a little deeper and share the stories of the songs.” When introducing each song, he also announces the charting information and the name of the record label. He mentions the label name to give older listeners a chance to reminisce and recall what those old 45 rpm labels looked like.

“We don’t have a contemporary version of that,” he says.

Ficher is a treasure trove of musical lore, telling me how the feedback on The Beatles’ “Daytripper” was an accident that happened when John Lennon stuck his guitar in front of an amplifier and Paul McCartney asked producer George Martin if they could keep it in the song.

He also recalls how one-hit wonders The Champs (named after Gene Autry’s horse), had 15 minutes of studio time left

"I want to make sure that their stories get out there... I don't want this music to get lost. I want to make sure that not only the music doesn't go away, but the stories behind the songs, which are sometimes more fascinating that than the music itself."

Host of “The Ultimate Oldies Show,” KPOV Radio s a young adult living in the San Francisco Bay Area in the ‘80s, KPOV radio host Mike Ficher got to learn all the rock ‘n’ roll dances: the Hand Jive, the Twist, the Stroll, the Bristol Stomp, the Watusi, the Hully Gully and the Madison, to name a few. Eventually, he became one of the youngest dancers on a local weekly television show, the KOFY TV 20 Dance Party. The show featured adults dancing to the music they listened to as kids growing up in the early ‘60s—a contemporary “American Bandstand,” if you will.

That was Ficher’s main introduction to the rock ‘n’ roll music that he would come to love and share. After the show, he would hang out with the older dancers and listen to stories about the music.

Nowadays, Ficher shares those stories with listeners of his syndicated radio show, The Ultimate Oldies Show, airing Friday nights, 6 to 8, on KPOV, 88.9 FM. (The show is rebroadcast on Sundays, 6 to 8 am.)

“I want to make sure that their stories get out there,” Ficher says. “I don’t want this music to get lost. I want to make sure that not only the music doesn’t go away, but the stories behind the songs, which are sometimes more fascinating than the music itself.”

Ficher and his wife at the time, Tina, moved to Bend from the Bay Area in 2003 to raise their son before he entered the first grade. He’s now a junior at the University of Oregon.

Ficher recalls that back then, he read in the Source about a new community radio station looking for radio shows. He pitched his proposal and went on the air

Mighty Fine Pies

The Barrel Thief Lounge Changes Direction

The Hawaiian, with its pineapple and Canadian bacon, is a teen hit at the Bend Pizza Kitchen.

Eisenberg says.

He also says he’s actually had customers believe they were given the wrong pie because the GF crust tasted just too “good.” In addition, Bend Pizza Kitchen sources over 70 percent of its ingredients from local and/or organic sources, Eisenberg says.

“We believe that when you eat fresh, local organic food you feel great,” Eisenberg said in an email.

To get a feel for the offerings, my teen crew and I dove into four small pies—BPK’s affordable alternative to

The gluten-free pie is so good, customers have actually returned it because it was "too good" to be GF. old he was turning—and while I’m not gonna spill his secrets, suffice it to say it was an enviable early retirement. For someone who gazes longingly at every van lifer who rolls into town, maybe I shoulda chosen something besides journalism.

Turns out, Eisenberg tells me, running a pizza joint is a lot of hard work—not exactly the makings of a leisurely retirement. There’s the lugging of heavy bags of flour, time spent hunched over the ovens and other back-breaking work, he says.

Still, Eisenberg and crew are creating inspired pies, including Brooklyn-style and deep-dish pies, as well as glutenfree crusts that definitely draw the Celiac and vegan crowds.

Did you know that gluten-free pizzas can actually still contain wheat?

They can if you remove the gluten,

slices—and two salads. The Organic Pear Gorgonzola Salad is served with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette and a balsamic reduction—flavors both sweet and tangy and far beyond your typical ho-hum dressing. With spinach and arugula, Anjou pear and roasted walnuts, it was a hit around the table.

So was the Classic Caesar, served with a Garlic Caesar dressing nearly as flavorful as the balsamic.

The balsamic reduction was back on the Mt. Bachelor pizza—one of BPK’s popular items served with garlic-olive oil sauce, fresh spinach, sun dried tomatoes, chevre, mozzarella, walnuts, arugula and the balsamic reduction— like a pizza version of the salad we’d just devoured in record time.

Next up was the Pesto Cini, featuring—you guessed it—a pesto sauce with chicken, caramelized onions,

pepperoncini, mozzarella and roasted garlic—another hit for its combination of flavors. The arrival of the Manhattan brought a pie topped with garlic-olive oil sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, ricotta and mozzarella. Perhaps the most “traditional” of the bunch, it didn’t disappoint. And since there were kids involved, the final choice was the Hawaiian, topped with sweet, thick Canadian bacon, tomato sauce, mozzarella and pineapple. Definitely a kids’ favorite—though impressively, these teens were equally excited about the more inventive options, too.

Each of our small pies was done in Brooklyn-style thin crust, soft inside, slightly crispy on the out and with a tinge of sweetness. A commendable crust at a solid Bend pizza spot. In hindsight, we should have tried at least one pie with the GF crust, if only to see if we could tell the difference. Eisenberg says BPK, after several years in operation, gets more than its fair share of vegan and gluten-free customers, so it would have only been fair.

Next time, Source vegan and GF readers—because the next time we’re in the need for a break from Sunday dinner, we know where we’re going.

Oh, and what was for dessert? Why, a locally-sourced chocolate pizza, of course. SW

t was a Sunday night—an evening usually reserved for hot soups sipped around a fire as we try to stave off the creeping reminders of what Monday would bring. After a weekend spent in typical Bendito fashion—soccer games, two nights of live music, hiking and even a solo mountain biking sesh— regrouping around a hot meal was in order.

But thanks to a botched pot of beans, the plan to zone out in front of the TV slurping chili was out the window. What’s the mom in charge of two teenagers—one my own, one recently arrived as our foreign exchange student—to do? Pizza, of course. You can force teenagers into almost any mission, so long as there’s pizza involved.

Sunday evenings also happen to be live music night at Bend Pizza Kitchen, the bright, clean and inviting spot in Northwest Crossing, home to past iterations of pizza joint including, most recently, Martolli’s. In this iteration, clean white tile, industrial chic finishings and long, family-style tables are both casual and upscale.

It was a Sunday night—but it also happened to be owner Robert Eisenberg’s birthday. The guy has a youthful appearance, but tells me he bought the spot from the owner of Martolli’s after some time in retirement. Since it was his birthday, Eisenberg revealed how

MICRO Beer and Hardware by the Beach

Cannon Beach Hardware is where craft meets craftsmen

Hardware and beer can mix — just don't drink and drive.

I

t’s not news, perhaps, that the coast of Oregon is worth visiting for the beer as much as the pretty views.

From 7 Devils in Coos Bay to Buoy and all their friends up in Astoria, nobody’s ever very far from some locally-made refreshment. What can be a problem, however, is finding all the other necessities of life.

The solution, as found by Cannon Beach Hardware and Brewpub, is easy: Just combine them into one.

A town of around 1,700 permanent residents (far more in the summer), Cannon Beach is 25 miles south of Astoria and best known for the enormous beach that expands out along the west side. From it, in plain sight, is the 235-foot-tall Haystack Rock, which juts straight out of the ocean water and is usually accessible on foot during low tide in the summer. The Twilight gang took a surfing trip there during the 2008 movie, and as any ‘80s child knows, Mikey used the rock to help triangulate the location of One-Eyed Willy’s treasure in "The Goonies."

The residents of Cannon Beach can’t live off Hollywood street cred alone, however, and so Cannon Beach Hardware was founded in 2010. The problem it solved, as described by owner Ryan Dewey, was a simple one:

Residents had to drive miles to Seaside or Warrenton for simple things such as stainless-steel fasteners and paint rollers, but the town wasn’t large enough to support a full True Value-type place of its own.

The answer to this—inspired by a similar place Dewey heard about off the southwestern coast of Ireland—was to combine it with a pub. So the modern “Screw and Brew” was invented, featuring two floors of home-improvement stuff, six taps of beers from Fort George and the like, and an old Coke vending machine full of other bottles.

It’s a fun spot to hang for a while, enjoying a meatball sub before picking up a staple gun to go, but that’s no longer all that Cannon Beach offers.

On the far north side of town is Public Coast Brewing, named after the landmark 1967 bill that officially established the entire Oregon coast as accessible to the public. Its beers, which sometimes make it out to Portland, include The People’s Pale, made entirely with in-state ingredients. And when in town, it’s impossible to miss the soaring roof of the local Pelican Pub, the brewery’s third location after Pacific City and Tillamook. No day suffers when a Kiwanda cream ale and the wide-open beach are paired together. SW

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic "Marjorie Prime”

Central Oregon’s One Stop Cannabis Super Store

LARGEST SELECTION OF CANNABIS CONCENTRATES, EDIBLES, GLASS AND ACCESSORIES AT THE LOWEST PRICES. REPRESENTING THE BEST GROWERS, PROCESSORS AND ARTISTS IN THE STATE.

AMERICAN ASSASSIN: Based on the series of bestselling novels by Vince Flynn, “American Assassin” is the origin story of terrorist killer Mitch Rapp. The movie has a few good action scenes, but ultimately takes itself much too seriously to be any fun. Still, Michael Keaton is always worth watching even when the movies he stars in are kinda boring.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX AMERICAN MADE: The latest Tom Cruise

vehicle sees him starring in what appears to be a cross between “Air America” and “War Dogs.” He plays a pilot that gets in way over his head with the CIA and running guns and drugs. Cruise is having a rough year in terms of the quality of his films and box office presence, so hopefully “American Made” gets him back on track for making quality films with interesting directors. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

BATTLE OF THE SEXES: A Docu-Dram-

RECREATIONAL AND MEDICAL DISPENSARY Hours M-S 8:30am-10pm Sunday 8:30am-9pm 2205 NE Division St. Bend, Oregon 97703 Ph 541-550-7325

edy about the legendary 1973 tennis grudge match between Billie Jean King and the grossly sexist Bobby Riggs. With a cast featuring Emma Stone, Steve Carell and Sarah Silverman, and an extremely topical subject, “Battle of the Sexes” is bound to be a crowd-pleasing slice of cinema. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

BRAD'S STATUS: Starring the quite underrat-

ed Ben Stiller, “Brad's Status” follows a middleaged man reconnecting with his college friends who all initially appear to be more successful than he is. From the normally acidic director/writer Mike White, “Brad's Status” should be an incisive look into the things that truly matter in life. 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

FLATLINERS: I’m not sure we needed a remake of this, because how can the new one top the 1990 original which had a cast featuring the holy trinity of Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon?! Hollywood loves its cautionary medical tales, so this was bound to be remade, but changing it from an R-rated shocker into a PG-13 snoozefest was not the right way to go about it. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX FRIEND REQUEST: When a case of cyber-bullying goes too far, a young woman gets stalked by the ghost of a creepy goth teen whose death she helped bring about. Facebook on any given day looks scarier than this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE HITMAN'S BODYGUARD: Watch-

ing 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

HOME AGAIN: The world didn't realize it was missing a Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy until we had a new one on our doorstep. She plays a single mom who gets into a relationship with a man in his 20s, which upsets her natural order of things. The film looks like a charming Nancy Meyers throwback, so there's no real downside unless you're averse to chick flicks. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX 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. Tin Pan Theater

IT: Do you like things that float and clowns with giant gaping maws? Then you'll love the latest and greatest adaptation of Stephen King's epic horror extravaganza, “IT.” The film focuses on a group of middle school outcasts who have to fight against an ageless demonic presence that manifests itself as a horrifying clown named Pennywise. A genuinely fun horror flick that will please fans of all ages. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinemas KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE:

There's nothing like a sequel to a surprisingly good movie to remove all goodwill for the original. At 141 minutes long, “The Golden Circle” has plenty of opportunities to prove that it's as good as the first one, but is ultimately so overstuffed that it feels like a tonally schizophrenic mess. Better luck next time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE: I'd like to

assume there's more to this than just ninjas and legos, but the trailers don't make much of a case for that. Featuring a voice cast including Jackie Chan, Abbi Jacobson, Kumail Nanjiani and Fred Armisen, it should at least be a pleasure to listen to, even if none of it makes any sense. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

MARJORIE PRIME: A sci-fi drama about

a woman confronting her past with the help of a hologram of her dead husband. The juiciest role Geena Davis has had for several years, and the always welcome Jon Hamm appears once again, proving he has an unlimited range. This sounds like a less dark and more bittersweet episode of “Black Mirror.” Tin Pan Theater

MAUDIE: A biopic about the folk artist Maud

Lewis that focuses on her falling in love with a fishmonger while she worked as his housekeeper.

Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke star in this quirky and delightful little movie. Sisters Movie House

THE MIDWIFE: Starring the ageless Catherine Deneuve, “The Midwife” chronicles an unlikely friendship between a tightly wound midwife and the free-spirited mistress of the midwife’s dead father. Bring tissues and everything will work out wonderfully. Tin Pan Theater.

MOTHER!: With word of people furiously storming out of this film all across the country, “Mother!” is controversial to say the least. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem, the film is actually a deeply disturbing masterpiece about femininity, the price of creation, parenthood and adoration. You might hate it, but it will certainly give you something to think about. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX STRONGER: From David Gordon Green, the fantastically talented director of “George Washington” and “Pineapple Express,” comes the true story of Jeff Bauman, a man who lost his legs during the Boston Marathon bombing and has to accept the new circumstances. Bring tissues. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TROPHY: A surprisingly complex look at

the sport of Big Game hunting. Somehow, this documentary manages to carry more sympathy for its subjects than one would think possible. A fascinating look at a dark subject for animal rights activists and hunters alike. Sisters Movie House.

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

SC

Fanatics Unite SCREEN Film BendFilm returns with a knockout lineup

By Jared Rasic 27

The Tenth Step (Documentary Feature) The opening night film this year is a gorgeously photographed adventure following expedition leader Gerry Moffatt as he heads on a 4,000-mile solo motorcycle tour across the Himalayas.

This documentary is a true travelogue look at an area of the globe that so few of us will ever get to see. At turns life-affirming, harrowing and breathtaking, this is what nature doc filmmaking is all about.

The Square (Narrative Feature) This is the foreign film everyone’s talking about this year. From director Ruben Oestlund, the visionary behind the classic “Force Majeure,” “The Square” looks at some of the big existential questions we find ourselves confronted with when we try and discover whether we are decent human beings. This one is a little weird, but in a way that makes us confront how we view ourselves in the larger scheme of things. Easily one of the best foreign films of the year.

Northwest Shorts (Narrative Shorts) This is the most varied Northwest Shorts block I’ve seen in years, featuring stories about WWI railroad workers, time travel, squirrels, mixtapes and just about everything else under the sun. It’s always fascinating to see what filmmakers in the Northwest can achieve without the same resources as filmmakers in NYC or Hollywood. It’s always inspiring to see how the imagination can be a much stronger instrument than a budget.

Lucky (Narrative Feature) In what basically amounts to the perfect swan song for the dearly departed Harry Dean Stanton, “Lucky” chronicles the spiritual journey of a man who has never had much use for religion in his 90+ years of life.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 40 / October 5, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he time is upon us once again for the Pacific Northwest’s premier film festival, BendFilm. I have to say, with no hyperbole, that the lineup for this year’s festival has several movies that any film festival on the planet would be lucky to have—downright coups for our little festival that could.

With this year’s fest, BendFilm has curated a selection of narratives, documentaries and shorts that TIFF, Sundance and all the festivals in between would be elated to have.

While I didn’t have the time to watch everything that will be playing, here’s a look at a few of the films that either blew me away or that I’m excited to catch next week.

This image will make perfect sense in the context of the film…probably.

Directed by the wonderful actor John Carroll Lynch (“Fargo” and “Zodiac”), “Lucky” is the definition of a must-see for festival audiences.

The Scent of Rain and Lightning (Narrative) In director Blake Robbins’ sophomore effort, he takes a story of a family in turmoil centered around a murder mystery and turns it into an emotional rollercoaster. When a young woman learns the man who killed her parents is released from prison, she attempts to find out what really happened on the night of their murder. With shades of “Winter’s Bone” and “Hell or High Water,” Robbins crafts an unforgettable modern Western where the inner lives of the characters drive the story instead of letting plot mechanics control their behavior.

No Man’s Land (Documentary Feature) Expect packed houses for both screenings of this one. Director David Byars takes an even-handed look at the 2016 occupation of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the event’s supporters and detractors. The occupiers speak for themselves while the film attempts to withhold judgment of the people involved on both sides. The film is almost structured like a thriller as the music builds up to the inevitable bloody confrontation we know is coming. There will be many arguments after the screenings of this film, guaranteed.

The Road Movie (Documentary Feature) Every moment of this madcap compilation of craziness is taken from the dashboard cameras of Russian automobiles. There is nothing like this movie and, at barely over an hour long, it rushes by so quickly that it’s almost depressing when it ends. Shots of road rage, crazy drivers and a terrifyingly close comet crashing to Earth are just a few of the shenanigans captured by these amateur filmmakers.

Late Night Shorts (Narrative Shorts) Every year I’ve gone to BendFilm, the Late Night Shorts block has always been filled with some of the most bizarre and memorable little movies imaginable. This year will be no different as the selections include stories about urinal etiquette, dead dads, estranged families, twisted twins and space adventurers. Those with a little bit of darkness in their soul will find something to love from each of these nasty little treats.

The Sounding (Narrative Feature) A strangely haunting and beautiful film set on a remote island off the coast of Maine. A beautiful young woman who hasn’t spoken in years starts creating a new language using the words of Shakespeare. I found this to be an intensely moving look at the power of language and how easy it can be to underestimate the importance of truly listening to one another even if the words aren’t quite familiar. Once the film ends, the power of its unique view of life and language continues to absolutely captivate the imagination.

The Misogynists Writer/director/actor Onur Tukel has quietly been making some of the most entertaining and delirious movies for the last several years. With “Summer of Blood,” “Applesauce” and “Catfight,” Tukel puts his stamp and with a massively varied range of styles, genres and tones. Not only is his new film, “The Misogynists,” in the fest this year, he also has a delightfully weird genre-bender he wrote (“Infinity Baby”) playing as well. Discover this guy while you can, because he’s going to be a massive force in film sooner rather than later. SW Check bendfilm.org for the full schedule

Rolling Into a New Season

LCRD kicks off their season this weekend, as the Smokin’ Ashes take on the Ventura County Derby Darlins.

By Keely Damara deKramer, who skates for the Smokin’ Ashes by the name, “Slay-her,” says the camaraderie sets roller derby apart from other sports.

“I mean, I can go anywhere in the world and say, 'I play roller derby,' and have a place to stay and people to hang out with,” said deKramer. “I like that part a lot.”

The sport offers skaters a unique opportunity to not only play a competitive sport, but it is one of the few full-contact sports available to women. “…I just love feeling empowered and like a badass, I think,” said 23-year-old Taylen Winters. “I was never part of a team sport, really, and I didn’t really consider myself athletic.”

Winters, aka “Rollentless Winters,” is new to LCRD this season, having transferred from the Humboldt Roller Derby league. Her blonde hair in two tightly woven braids, and with an easy smile, Winters laughs as she says she has never skated in an official bout. She went through a rigorous boot camp, made the team — but broke her ankle and missed the whole season.

“I’m excited to actually play one real game of roller derby,” said Winters. “Hopefully before I break something else.” deKramer said that she has had her fair share of injuries, which includes a torn ACL in her left knee. It just comes with the territory. Still, she says, the game isn’t as heavy hitting as it used to be.

“The game has evolved so much, especially since I’ve started — 11 years ago,” deKramer said. “It used to be all about skating fast and hitting hard and now it’s all about strategy.”

Dusty Hutchins, aka “Coach Dirty,”

Regularman Photography

LCRD skaters scrimmage at Cascade Indoor Sports Sunday, Oct. 1.

says the highlight of last season was their win against Eugene’s Emerald City Roller Girls, a longtime rival and a team they haven’t beaten since 2008.

“To see all of these skaters, where that had been the pain in their side— losing to them over and over,” said Hutchins. “A sister rivalry just two-anda-half hours apart, and to finally come in with that victory.”

Hutchins, the head coach for the adult teams, says that one of their strongest assets is what they call their “crustiness,” or the experience that the veteran skaters bring to the table. But as older skaters retire, they’ll need solid replacements — making recruitment and development of younger skaters the main goals.

As for deKramer, she’s not hanging up her skates just yet.

“I would like to make it to 50,”

deKramer said, who’s now 48 years old.

“That’s only a couple more years. I don’t know, we’ll see.”

The event on Saturday opens with LCRD’s junior team, the Cinder Kittens, taking on the Salem Cherry Blossoms at 4:30pm, followed by the Smokin’ Ashes vs. Ventura County Derby Darlins at 6pm.

If you’re interested in skating for the Lava City Roller Dolls, they have opened their Wednesday practices up to new skaters of all skill levels, ages 18+. Visit their website, lavacityrollerdolls.com SW Lava City Roller Dolls: Season Opener Sat., Oct. 7, 4:30-9 p.m.

A

whistle sounds and the clacking of skates against waxed, concrete floors becomes the lively soundtrack to hard hits and even harder falls. It’s Sunday morning. While some people are sipping mimosas at their favorite brunch spot, the Lava City Roller Dolls are working up a sweat playing the full-contact, full-throttle sport of roller derby.

Another year, another season, as Bend’s only all-female flat track roller derby league gears up for their season opener against the Ventura County Derby Darlins Saturday, Oct. 7, at Cascade Indoor Sports.

Not familiar with roller derby? Here’s the quick and dirty: a game is called a “bout” and is made up of two-minute “jams,” or rounds of play. Each team is made up of one “jammer” and four “blockers” who skate counter-clockwise around a track. Both jammers attempt to skate laps around the opposing team’s skaters to score points. The blockers from both teams form a pack, using strategy and hip checks to block the opposing team’s jammer while simultaneously aiding their jammer through. She who scores the most points wins.

Simple, right?

Founded in 2006, the league operates as a nonprofit, grassroots organization powered by the skaters, for the skaters. You’ve probably seen derby girls volunteering at charity fundraisers and events like Bend Oktoberfest.

Giving back to the community isn’t just important to the league, it is part of their mission statement.

LCRD offers women more than just an adrenaline-fueled, after-work activity,;roller derby is a community — with skaters spanning across the globe. Kelly

Natural World Birds on the move

5th Annual Base Camp Studio

Have a question about the natural world of Central Oregon?

Send your questions to jimnaturalist@gmail.com.

By Jim Anderson from Dean in Italy. “Hey Pop, I just got my 500th bird” He blurted out.

“What was it?” I asked.

“I don’t know,” he answered, “but I think it was a vulture of some kind, it left a big brown smear down the side of my fighter jet.”

“Did it come inside…?” I asked with a huge lump in my throat. He answered “No, thankfully.”

OK, back to Green Ridge. Because of weather conditions—which may, or may not be the result of climate change— there are several different birds migrating south along Green Ridge and other hawk watch locations statewide. Counters have reported seeing Broad-winged hawks showing up in Oregon. This is an Eastern U.S. soaring hawk that can be seen by the thousands (literally) soaring over Hawk Mountain in Pennsylvania, but have started showing up in the west.

Broad-winged hawks are a small soaring hawk of the genus buteo. During the summer, they are distributed over the eastern U.S. and Canada, but also seen as far west as British Columbia. They then migrate south from Mexico to southern Brazil.

Birders on the coast recently reported seeing Black Vultures in B.C., in Canada. If these reports are valid (no one sent along a voucher photo with the report…) there’s a very good chance they may show up winging their way south to Mexico along Green Ridge. Black TVs soar higher than our local turkey vultures, and do not tip side-toside as much.

(Speaking of TVs. If you haven’t seen Dennis McGregor’s paintings of the turkey/vulture, zebra/finch and other animals now in the Community Room of the Sisters Library, you’re missing a hoot.)

The count for last Saturday started out slow but keeper-of-the-records—old time Green Ridge counter and eagle-watcher, Kim Boddie—sent along this list of the birds seen on the first day of the 2017 Hawk Watch: 73 Turkey Vultures 1 Bald Eagle 1 Golden Eagle 4 Osprey 2 Northern Harrier 22 Cooper’s Hawk 1 Northern Goshawk 7 Red-tailed Hawk 4 Merlin 1 Peregrine Falcon 3 Unidentified Accipters (bird hawks) 1 Unidentified buteo (could have been a Broad-wing) • 1 Unidentified falcon SW • • • • • • • • • • • •

“T

here are three birds over the butte on the east side, just under those puffy clouds…” Chuck Gates said, speaking under his binoculars.

“Got ‘em,” Peter Low responded, getting his scope up to his eye. “Looks like turkey vultures,” he said after a few moments. If Peter Low says they’re TVs, they are TVs. He can spot and identify Cooper’s Hawks and Prairie Falcons from three quarters of a mile away—and be right every time!

Announcements similar to that of Chuck and Peter’s go on most of the day, as others taking part in the East Cascade Audubon Society’s annual Green Ridge Hawk Watch spot a bird—an event that’s been going on for over 10 years on Green Ridge, northeast of Sisters.

Anyone interested in—or just wondering what watching birds is all about—is welcome to join experts and novices alike from Sept. 30 to Oct. 22. The roads to the site are well marked from Road 12 off of Highway 20 to Prairie Farm and Green Ridge Lookout. If you’ve never been up in that part of the Sisters Country, it might be best to meet the group at 9am in the Indian Ford Campground.

You will need a good set of binocs (and spotting scope—optional). Bring along what food you enjoy in the out-ofdoors, water, and dress in layers for the weather (and if you want to sit, bring a folding chair).

If there’s a good wind coming out of the southwest, Broad-winged Hawk silhouette. there will be plenty of birds soaring on the updrafts along the edge of the ridge, and at this time of the year, there’s no telling what the temperature will be.

If this is your fist time birding, please don’t worry about identifying what you see. There are usually two or three “oldtime birders” among the counters, and they really do enjoy helping someone get started in birding. There’s nothing that thrills a birder more than knowing he or she got someone started on keeping a Life List of birds they’ll see in their lifetime.

Now I gotta share a story about keeping a Life List: My oldest son, Dean, and I had a contest going from the time he was about 10 as to which of us would get the 500th bird on our respective Life List.

Well, he graduated from Oregon State University and became an Air Force fighter pilot in F-16s, which found him living in several places around the globe, which put him ahead of me. But I went to live in the bush for a while with Aborigines in Australia, and that put me ahead of him, etc., etc., on-and-on.

Well, one night at 3 am I received a call

Staging Tricks to Make Your Home Look Bigger

A

• Try to keep your color schemes

monochromatic. Contrasting colors can make your space feel choppy, while using similar colors gives it more of a continuous feel. This rule also applies to rugs, recommended at a minimum to prevent a choppy feel. The objective is to have a continuous flow.

• Maximizing the lighting in rooms.

This includes hanging curtain rods higher and keeping curtains open as much as possible, as well as properly placing mirrors to reflect light from windows. All of these can brighten up a darker room and create the illusion of larger windows, depth and more space.

• Don’t be afraid of having empty spaces. This particularly applies to corners of walls. Try to avoid having furniture or other items placed at the end of a wall. Leaving some space creates the illusion of more space.

s a realtor who helps numerous clients sell their older homes, I often use Realtor.com for useful hints on how to create an appearance of more space—often an issue in smaller homes, such as those found in the downtown Bend area. As fall sets in and we focus more on the interiors of our homes— and begin to plan for holiday guests, etc., these hints are useful for homes of any size, to improve appearance and reduce clutter. I often make similar recommendations when I’m listing a smaller home—and even offer these tips for owners of some older homes, too.

A few of the main things to consider are: • Reduce clutter and get rid of unwanted and unneeded items. This includes excess accessories and wall art, and clearing kitchen counters.

Leaving the bare minimum opens up a space. If you’re moving, consider it a head start on packing.

ON THE STANDS OCTOBER 19

BENDSOURCE.COM

I am a 32-year-old woman who has never been in a relationship with a man I’m actually attracted to. The men I’ve ended up with really pursued me, and they were all smart, funny, and kind, so I thought it was shallow not to date them because I wasn’t that into their looks. Depressingly, each time, I eventually found myself repulsed by the guy and eyeing other men. Of course, that brought things to an end. How important is physical attraction in a relationship?

—Lukewarmed When you’ve got a position to fill — in your life or the workplace — it’s important to bring in somebody who meets the essential requirements. So when the overheating thingy on the nuclear reactor needs fixing, you put out a call for a certified nuclear mechanic; you don’t just go “Okay, whatever” when the nicest mariachi band roadie comes in looking for work.

Of course, sexual attraction isn’t everything. But without it, you and another person are best suited for a relationship like “friends,” “neighbors,” or “people who give each other a friendly wave in the carport.”

Experimental psychologist Gurit Birnbaum finds evidence from across social psychology and evolutionary psychology that the “sexual system” (sexual desire) and the “attachment

system” (emotional bonding) work together.

In fact, she explains, it seems sexual desire “has been ‘exploited’ by evolutionary processes” to promote enduring emotional bonds between partners. Basically, evolution bribes romantic partners with nooky so they’ll stay together and care for their kids, improving the chances that the little buggers survive to pass on their genes.

It’s important to find somebody you have serious hots for from the start, because maintaining a sex crush on your partner is actually vital throughout the relationship stages.

Birnbaum explains that sexual desire motivates partners to keep “investing resources” in each other and the relationship — beyond sexytime. AdditionAmy Alkon ally, after the initial hottity-hots die down, still wanting to get it on with your partner seems to provide a “buffer” for poor communication skills and less-than-desirable personality traits, such as emotional instability. (“Whoa, that mood swing nearly gave me a concussion!”)

So, no, you wouldn’t be “shallow” to date only men you’re attracted to. You’d be doing the wise (and kind) thing: keeping yourself from yet another doomed relationship with some nice but meh guy where the sweet nothings you whisper are along the lines of “Please don’t touch me unless it’s medically necessary.”

ASTROLOGY

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re a good candidate for the following roles: 1. a skeptical optimist who is both discerning and open-minded; 2. a robust truth-teller who specializes in interesting truths; 3. a charming extremist who’s capable of solving stubborn riddles; 4. a smooth operator who keeps everyone calm even as you initiate big changes; 5. an enlightened game-player who reforms or avoids games that abuse beauty’s power.

Carrie Fisher wrote three autobiographies. Speed skating Olympics star Apolo Anton Ohno published his autobiography at age 20. The rascal occultist Aleister Crowley produced an “autohagiography.”

To understand that odd term, keep in mind that “hagiography” is an account of the life of a saint, so adding “auto” means it’s the biography of a saint penned by the saint himself. I’m bringing up these fun facts in hope of encouraging you to ruminate at length on your life story. If you don’t have time to write a whole book, please take a few hours to remember in detail the gloriously twisty path you have trod from birth until now. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the best way to heal what needs to be healed is to steep yourself in a detailed meditation on the history of your mysterious destiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you go to the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Germany, you will see a jug of wine that was bottled in 1687.

In accordance with astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suggest that you find a metaphorical version of this vintage beverage — and then metaphorically drink it! In my opinion, it’s time for you to partake of a pleasure that has been patiently waiting for you to enjoy it. The moment is ripe for you to try an experience you’ve postponed, to call in favors that have been owed to you, to finally do fun things you’ve been saving for the right occasion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If a late-night TV talk show called and asked me to be a guest, I’d say no. If “People” magazine wanted to do a story on me, I’d decline. What good is fame like that? It might briefly puff up my ego, but it wouldn’t enhance my ability to create useful oracles for you. The notoriety that would come my way might even distract me from doing what I love to do. So I prefer to remain an anonymous celebrity, as I am now, addressing your deep self with my deep self. My messages are more valuable to you if I remain an enigmatic ally instead of just another cartoony media personality.

By the way, I suspect you’ll soon face a comparable question. Your choice will be between what’s flashy and what’s authentic; between feeding your ego and feeding your soul.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Canadian guy named Harold Hackett likes to put messages in bottles that he throws out into the Atlantic Ocean from his home on Prince Edward island. Since he started in 1996, he has dispatched over 5,000 missives into the unknown, asking the strangers who might find them to write back to him. To his delight, he has received more than 3,000 responses from as far away as Russia, Scotland, and West Africa. I suspect that if you launch a comparable mission sometime soon, Aquarius, your success rate wouldn’t be quite that high, but still good. What long-range inquiries or invitations might you send out in the direction of the frontier?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Intensify” is one of your words of power these days. So are “fortify,” “reinforce,” and “buttress.” Anything you do to intensify your devotion and focus will be rewarded by an intensification of life’s gifts to you. As you take steps to fortify your sense of security and stability, you will activate dormant reserves of resilience. If you reinforce your connections with reliable allies, you will set in motion forces that will ultimately bring you help you didn’t even know you needed.

If you buttress the bridge that links your past and future, you will ensure that your old way of making magic will energize your new way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to slow down and create a wealth of spacious serenity. Use an unhurried, step-bystep approach to soothe yourself. With a glint in your eye and a lilt in your voice, say sweet things to yourself. In a spirit of play and amusement, pet and pamper yourself as you would a beloved animal.

Can you handle that much self-love, Taurus? I think you can. It’s high time for you to be a genius of relaxation, attending tenderly to all the little details that make you feel at ease and in love with the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If an angel were to tell us something of his philosophies, I do believe some of his propositions would sound like 2 x 2 = 13.” So said the German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799). Now maybe you don’t believe in the existence of angels, and so you imagine his idea doesn’t apply to you. But I’m here to tell you that an influence equivalent to an angel will soon appear in your vicinity. Maybe it’ll be a numinous figure in your dreams, or a charismatic person you admire, or a vivid memory resurrected in an unexpected form, or a bright fantasy springing to life. And that “angel” will present a proposition that sounds like 2 x 2 = 13.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Unless you have an off-road vehicle, you can’t drive directly from North America to South America. The Pan-American Highway stretches from Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina — a distance of about 19,000 miles — except for a 100-mile patch of swampy rainforest in Panama. I’d like to call your attention to a comparable break in continuity that affects your own inner terrain, Cancerian — a grey area where two important areas of your life remain unlinked. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to close the gap.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Based in Korea, Samsung is a world leader in selling smartphones and other information technology. But it didn’t start out that way. In its original form, back in 1938, it primarily sold noodles and dried fish. By 1954, it had expanded into wool manufacturing. More than three decades after its launch as a company, it further diversified, adding electronics to its repertoire.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, the next ten months should be an excellent time for you to do the equivalent of branching out from noodles and dried fish to electronics. And the coming six weeks will be quite favorable for formulating your plans and planting your seeds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In my opinion, you’re not quite ready to launch full-tilt into the rebuilding phase. You still have a bit more work to do on tearing down the old stuff that’s in the way of where the new stuff will go. So I recommend that you put an “Under Construction” sign outside your door, preferably with flashing yellow lights. This should provide you with protection from those who don’t understand the complexity of the process you’re engaged in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actress and author

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You wouldn’t expect a five-year-old child to paint a facsimile of Picasso’s “Guernica” or sing Puccini’s opera, “La Boheme.”

Similarly, you shouldn’t fault your companions and you for not being perfect masters of the art of intimate relationships. In fact, most of us are amateurs. We may have taken countless classes in math, science, literature, and history, but have never had a single lesson from teachers whose area of expertise is the hard work required to create a healthy partnership. I mention this, Aries, because the next seven weeks will be an excellent time for you to remedy this deficiency. Homework assignments: What can you do to build your emotional intelligence? How can you learn more about the art of creating vigorous togetherness?

lvy Musikka is the OG activist stoned grandmother-type I always wanted, and if you met her, you might feel the same. She’s also a rarity in this country: someone who receives cannabis from the federal government, at no charge. Uncle Sam is her weed dealer, although maybe not the best weed dealer. She lives in Eugene, and she’s the definition of a firebrand.

Born in Colombia in 1939, she moved to the U.S. in 1953 with her parents, where surgery for her congenital cataracts left her partially blinded, developing into glaucoma.

She was arrested in 1988 for cannabis cultivation, and decided to petition to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, asking to be added to an Investigative New Drug program. She was approved, which resulted in her joining Robert Randall and Irving Rosenfeld in the program. Because of their tireless efforts to help others, 18 additional patients were also enrolled, each one having to submit extensive medical records from a “reliable doctor” to the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Food and Drug Administration and NIDA. She receives the infamous University of Mississippi-grown cannabis, 300 joints per month, in a large tin, which she picks up in January in Florida.

(Fun fact: That’s 104,400 joints she has smoked from the Feds alone. The next time someone brags how tough they pull, drop that truth bomb.)

However, the weed leaves something to be desired, to say the least.

Until recently, seeds and stems were common, and the flower tops out at 4 to 6 percent THC, when it’s really even weed, not just hemp.

For Musikka, that failure on Uncle Sam’s part to properly distinguish between Ditch and Dank had dire consequences. In 2012, she received a tin filled with what she deems “pure garbage. It was just hemp. Which I love to wear, but wasn’t doing anything for my glaucoma, which I had been treating for 37 years with cannabis! I assumed that I was getting the THC levels I needed and expected, but within a month, I knew there was a problem.”

That problem resulted in her losing an optic nerve and going completely blind in one eye. “All because the government sent me garbage instead of cannabis,” she said. “Cannabis is my medicine, and I have a prescription for it, just like any other prescription.”

That didn’t slow her down, and if anything, galvanized her commitment to education regarding cannabis. “To arrest an adult for choosing a wiser 'Bud' is the epitome of ignorance and stupidity,” she told me. “We are ignorant about this amazing plant, and

The good news: she gets 300 free joints a month.

The bad news: it's borderline rag weed.

ignorance blinds us. All this talk about cannabis being a drug, what the hell do you think alcohol is?”

She met Jack Herer in 1989, and someone read her “The Emperor Wears No Clothes,” which she says “changed my life.” She began touring to speak at campuses and conferences around the world. She strongly advocates for having a comprehensive curriculum about the science of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system taught at every medical school.

She also wants the stigma of cannabis use to end.

“It’s another form of fighting ignorance to help educate people that cannabis users should not be shunned or looked down upon. In the cannabis community, my goodness, I’m very popular,” she says with a laugh, “but I have members of my family that have rejected me, and won’t even speak to me for using cannabis, which I’ve been doing for 43 years. Thankfully, I was accepted into new circles, and I found my “cannabis family.”

She moved to Eugene 12 years ago, a city that knows the difference between raw hemp and sticky bud.

She’s an OMMP patient, although peeved that she has to pay fees and can’t find a doctor to handle her IND program needs—hence the trip to Florida to pick up the tins of what can be charitably called “mids.”

I asked her how the quality of her pre rolls compares to Oregon’s offerings.”There is none. I smoke my federal weed during the day, the low THC allows me to easily navigate the world.

At night, I use local top shelf flower or edibles.”

Favorite strain? “Whatever I’m smoking at the moment” she laughs.
