Have a grievance with your government?

Sometimes it costs money to redress it.

T

his week, we’ve been witness to numerous discussions around public process. Some of those discussions have centered around the lawsuit brought by Central Oregon LandWatch and WaterWatch of Oregon against the City of Bend for the Bridge Creek water project. The recent increase in water and sewer fees has made some question the lawsuit as an overreach that is costing Bendites money.

It’s built into the First Amendment to be allowed to petition the government for the redress of grievances. While not always palatable to some, legal action through the courts system is often the way this part of the Bill of Rights works.

If redress doesn’t occur in court, it can manifest in other ways, including referendums, and even protest. Both of these, however, should come with an articulated demand, at the very least.

Among the many films at the BendFilm festival this past weekend was “No Man’s Land,” giving an on-the-ground view of the happenings during the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge last year. The film follows the ranchers who persuaded others to form a militia, and join them at the Malheur refuge, where they would take a stand against “tyranny.” For Ammon and Ryan Bundy and their family, that “tyranny” manifested itself in the federal government’s requirement that they pay fees for the use of federal grazing lands.

As the film unfolds—offering first-hand interviews with both occupiers and local folks in Burns—it becomes clear that the occupiers’ petitions for redress are thin, at best.

They want to “take a stand,” but that “stand” included few actual, tangible demands of the government.

Sure, anarchy and the creation of a press spectacle is one way to goad public officials into action—but it tends to work less efficiently than the dreaded lawsuit. In this case, that spectacle resulted in the death of LaVoy Finicum and the months-long shutdown and degradation of a valuable public resource— one that was conceived of and supported by the locals who live near the refuge. No one won when the majority of the occupiers were acquitted on federal charges. The people of Burns won nothing but headache. Taxpayers

also lost when costs piled up for paying federal agents to step in, and to pay refuge staff who were not able to work at the refuge— even months after the occupation ended.

These costs are hard to track, but there were no winners in this process. This anarchy did not help the people of Burns, Oregon or the United States.

Meanwhile, some in Bend would like to decry the fact that one of the area’s only true watchdogs on government activity may have caused your water bill to go up, through its lawsuit against the City of Bend. The suit, filed in 2014, ruled upon (in favor of the City of Bend) this August, and then appealed this month, alleges that the city did not properly review the potential environmental impacts when it began improvements on the Bridge Creek water project, which would provide some of the water for people in Bend.

It’s easy to draw a line between a lawsuit that seeks to protect not just locals, but the wider ecological milieu, and the fact that the suit is costing the defendant some money. But unlike the actions of the anarchists or activists, who acted willy-nilly, with few actual demands, the LandWatch lawsuit follows the rule of law—something that can’t be overstated. This is a group that follows the letter of the law to challenge those tasked with interpreting the law, managing public funds, and in turn, protecting the environment from threat.

Indeed, as LandWatch Executive Director Paul Dewey said last year, the costs were a result of the city deciding to pursue a project that could be harmful to the environment.

Additionally, the city opted to hire an expensive attorney from Washington, D.C. for its defense, Dewey stated.

When contrasting the anarchic actions of the Malheur occupiers with the law-abiding actions of LandWatch, we’ll take the few extra bucks on our water bills.

It might be a longer game that’s harder to see, but things like contamination of water, resultant extinction of species, and overall, massive environmental degradation, are the real threats to our life, liberty, pursuit of happiness—and yes, pocketbooks—but only through the rule of law will we be able to protect them.

In the 10/12 issue, the story “Tunes for Jazz Lovers" listed the Regina Carter Quintet as playing in April, in the third paragraph in the story. The group plays Feb. 16 and 17 at the Riverhouse on the Deschutes. We regret the error.

A BROKEN ANGEL SERVES HEAVENLY MEALS (10/11) A great guy with great food. He has the best food and I am a carnivore.

— Sue Szabo

IN RESPONSE TO, “A HOUSE DIVIDED: DISSECTING THE AIRBNB EFFECT: DO SHORT TERM RENTALS HELP SOLVE THE HOUSING CRISIS?” (9/28) Trust me, I know about the vacation rentals littering the landscapes. But they are within their legal rights to do it. Do you blame someone for making a living off of something that is inevitable in this town?

I would be more concerned about the massive hotels going up and obscuring our views and creating traffic issues. But then again we make a lot of money off of the hospitality industry. The luxury I am referring to is a clean and safe town with tons to do and a culture that brings in great bands, artists and people alike.

I have lived in many places and this is by far the best town that I have lived in. And to say most tourists don’t care — isn’t true. If a million people a year didn’t care, our town would be destroyed in an instant. It’s just a you-versus-them mentality at this point. Everyone thinks

that everyone else is a bad guy. It just isn’t true. People are people wherever you go.

River belongs to everyone, the health of the river should be the deciding factor, not what a few rich developers decide.

— Mike Arrera

— William Van Buskirk

It’s been shown that in cities from Barcelona, Spain to Asheville, North Carolina to Bend, the conversion of residentially zoned homes to vacation rentals exacerbates housing shortages and increases rental and home purchase prices for local residents.

To address this problem, many cities (Hood River, Portland, Boulder, Denver, etc) have passed city code that allows only primary residents to rent out their home — or part of their home — for a certain number of days a year.

These policies preserve residential housing for residents, while also allowing local residents to earn extra money to help pay their rent or mortgage.

Adopting similar code to Hood River, is one tool the City of Bend can use to address our housing crisis.

In Outside Magazine’s, “Did Airbnb Kill the Mountain Town” (7/17) the author writes that, “The rise of online short-term rentals may be the tipping point that causes idyllic outposts to lose their middle class altogether — and with it their soul.” The author mentions a quote he saw on the Airbnb website, to “Live like a local” and asks himself, “What happens when locals can’t afford to live like locals?”

If it is so important to free the river to its natural state, rip out all that shit, the new rapids/wave park and all the unnatural obstructions.

— Beth Jacobi

IN RESPONSE TO, “CLEARING UP MIRROR POND.” (10/11) Free the river. The arrogance of Bend, like Bend owns the river. The Deschutes

— Ryan Shule

That is the concept. Get rid of the dam below MP to start. Pretty sure the wave park doesn’t have a big impact on flow and sediment. But keeping a fake pond because it is “iconic” and a tourist draw when it isn’t is a great reason to ask taxpayers to subsidize the task don’t you think?

— Jim Roberts

Spending public funds to accomplish the dredging of Mirror Pond is inappropriate given the difficulty of complying with ODSL (Oregon Department of State Lands) regulations, the fact that Pacific Power is responsible for the silt and has profited from the power for many years and that dredging is an ongoing requirement which will become more difficult and expensive in 25 years due to growth in Bend.

Perhaps a compromise is possible: 1) Pacific Power pay to remove the dam 2) Replace the dam with “natural” rapids that will drop the level of the pond to where the resulting flows will scour the silt on an ongoing basis 3) Replant the resulting exposed riverbanks with native species.

If this could be accomplished with similar funds to the dredging estimate or even higher expense it could be a one

time solution that may be appropriate to be funded publicly.

HOWEVER.....BEWARE.......Original estimates for the Colorado Dam project were around 3 million and became around 13 million!

— Jim Sterling

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Hear hear to fostering compromise, Jim! The most vocal in our community seem to be either squarely on the “free the river” side, or the “preserve the iconic pond” side. In the interest of compromise, perhaps a vote allowing residents to democratically resolve this is in order? Come on in for your gift card to Palate!

OSU-Cascades. Why wasn’t it funded? Because it’s a bad idea.

Oh wait, maybe it’s a good idea, but poorly executed. They don’t have the land they want and they can’t afford the land they need. They don’t have the parking they need and the parking they do have is not utilized. They don’t have a rational plan for how to handle the logistics of the hoped-for future growth (please tell me how 3,000 to 5,000 students are going to move in and out of 100 acres using only Greenwood avenue, Galveston avenue and the Healy Bridge?)

They have clearly lost the support of the (Westside) residents affected. And now, they don’t have the money. But hey, as one student said, “Bend seemed like a much more fun place to be than Corvallis”.

What a mess.

SIDE NOTES

By Magdalena Bokowa

St. Charles Lays Off Workers, Oregon Referendum on Hospital Tax Set for January Facing a nearly $35 million shortfall, the largest employer in Central Oregon laid off 30 caregivers this week in order to close the gap for its upcoming 2018 operating budget. It also offered 72 employees “voluntary separation offers,” which employees have until Nov. 21 to accept or decline.

Hospital officials say a new state tax on hospitals is one reason for the shortfall—as is the fragmented insurance reimbursement scheme. “A new 0.7 percent real tax is coming off the net revenue, so for us, that translates to about $3 million annually,” says St. Charles President and CEO Joe Sluka. “On a nationwide scale, the cost of healthcare has gotten to the point where people can’t afford their insurance anymore.

What we’re seeing is patients buying high deductible plans—anywhere from $2,000-10,000—and it's creating a scenario where people are either not seeking care or can’t pay.”

Sluka says that there has been a downturn in patient volumes coming through St. Charles but also notes it's a variety of other factors, both local and state, that contribute to the gap.

St. Charles employs more than 3,400 caregivers across Madras, Redmond, Bend and Prineville. Cuts were felt across the system with a 10 percent pay decrease given to executive team members (for a period of at least nine months), reduction of non-contracted caregivers pay by 5 percent (for a minimum of six months) and a suspension of merit increases for caregivers. The organization added that these cuts would not impact the Oregon Nursing Association annual grade increases.

“We have to adapt to a new reality while still fulfilling our mission to serve all patients—and meeting our obligation to lower their overall cost of care,” says Sluka when announcing the decision in a Oct. 16 release. Citing the need to close its 3.7 percent operating margin.

The health provider said that the organization was “facing flat to declining revenue, inflation on labor and medical supply expenses and reimbursement impacts due to decisions made by the state legislature.” The Oregon Legislature passed a tax bill—House Bill 2391—which went into effect Oct. 6 and adds a 1.5 percent tax on some hospitals and health insurance providers. A special referendum is being called for Jan. 23, 2018, after more than 84,367 signatures were collected to possibly repeal the bill—a source of revenue to help pay for 350,000 low-income Oregonians on Medicaid, according to a Oct 6. report

by The Oregonian.

“These are incredibly difficult decisions,” Sluka said. “But taking these steps will save an additional 80 positions

and will allow us to stabilize our finances without significantly impacting the services we provide to our community."

Sluka says regardless of what happens, having a "seat at the table" with both legislators and insurance companies will help move ideas forward.

"The old reimbursement model isn’t working." Sluka added that St. Charles is moving toward a “Capitation Model”— one in which regardless of the number of members served monthly, the reimbursement is the same. “This incentivizes providers to keep people out of our hospitals, which I know sounds counter intuitive but it keeps people healthy and really aligns with our philosophy. That’s what we’re moving towards.”

Pacific Power Warns of Scammers Get a weird call from Pacific Power recently? You’re not alone. At least a dozen suspicious calls have been reported across Central Oregon this past week.

Callers alleged scammers posing as utility representatives threaten to immediately disconnect service if the caller does not wire immediate payment. “It’s a pervasive national problem,” says Pacific Power Spokesperson Tom Gauntt. “On average, the scammers ask for between $400-500, telling the customer they are behind on their bill and that power is about to be shut off.” He continues, “No one wants to be left in the dark, so some comply with the request.”

Customers reported that callers said they were from the “Pacific Power Disconnection Department,” a department that does not exist. The organization says that they will never ask for your credit card number or a prepaid card from a store and that if a customer has not received a prior notice of failure of payment, it will never threaten to immediately disconnect service.

“We don’t threaten our customers.

Instead, we work with customers who are behind on their payments to help them get back on track,” Pacific Power wrote in a Oct. 16 notice. “Generally, notices about past due bills are sent to customers in the mail or delivered to their home, or they receive an automated phone message.”

Gauntt says small business owners have been the majority of reported targets, possibly due to a scammer targeting an employee who is unaware of the businesses’ current utility bill status. “If you’re a microbrewery in Bend, then you’d rather pay the bill right away than risk losing 10,000 gallons of beer, right?” he says. “They then track it and figure out they’ve been scammed.”

If you receive one of these calls, ask the caller to state your account number and compare it with the number listed on your bill. Pacific Power customer service employees will always have your account number. Call 1-888-221-7070 to report any suspicious calls. SW

Filling In Inner Bend

Local groups encourage the community to weigh in on what could be Bend’s next vibrant district 7

By Nicole Vulcan

MOEY NEWBOLDT

Launch party attendees placed dots next to suggested BCD needs.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 42 / October 19, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The city has a real opportunity here because a public investment in something like improving the Franklin corridor and making the underpass more safe and inviting would not only support future of the BCD, but would also benefit the city as a whole by connecting the east and west sides in a meaningful way.

—

L

ooking for the next great investment for a new business, or a mixed-use residential development?

It could be just across the tracks, say a group of city leaders and Central Oregon LandWatch. This summer, the organization began rolling out its “Bend Central District Initiative,” a movement intended to build on work city leaders have already done, to transform the Bend Central District into an area that serves both residential and commercial needs.

LandWatch held a launch party Oct. 12, in an effort to “build support for the Bend Central District’s transformation into an active & vibrant mixed use neighborhood,” according to a LandWatch web page.

The BCD is bounded by the railroad (adjacent to the Bend Parkway) to the south and west, 4th Street. to the east and Revere Avenue. to the north—an area already identified by the City of Bend as a location to increase density in Bend. The City was awarded a Transportation and Growth Management grant in 2014 to create a plan called the Bend Central District Multi-Modal Mixed Use Area, allowing for more multi-modal transportation and increased connectivity. The City also amended its development code, changing it from light industrial to mixed-use development in the area—named as an “opportunity area” in Bend’s Urban Growth Boundary expansion plan, acknowledged by the state late last year.

“Landowners and Midtown residents have not yet seen any on-theground changes that would encourage private investment in this area,” said Moey Newbold, who handles advocacy and communications for LandWatch. “The pedestrian environment remains unchanged—it is unwelcoming and unsafe, which means it is risky for a developer to put a new development there.”

This summer, a BCD Initiative group that included planners, transportation engineers, architects and designers created its own take on the city’s Central District plan map, identifying areas where pedestrian access could be improved—including an improved pass-through for bikes and pedestrians at the Franklin Ave. undercrossing, and the possibility of pedestrian crossings at Hawthorne Ave. to cross the Parkway.

“The city has a real opportunity here because a public investment in something like improving the Franklin corridor and making the underpass more safe and inviting would not only support future of the BCD, but would also

benefit the city as a whole by connecting the east and west sides in a meaningful way,” Newbold said.

Also speaking at the Oct. 12 event was Kirk Scheuler, CEO and president of Brooks Resources. “It’s going to take a long time—development doesn’t happen overnight, but the zoning is in place here now, and the question now is, what investment makes sense,” Schueler said.

“It (the BCD) connects east to west, it creates vibrancy in an area… Bend downtown can’t hold it all, basically.”

Business owners who spoke at the event also demonstrated at least some level of buy-in from the BCD’s business community.

“We’re incredibly excited about reviving this area toward the future and seeing the development in progress,” said Ashley Evert, co-owner of Three Sisters Inn & Suites on 3rd Street. “There’s a lot of young voices in town that have stepped up.”

Mike Ross, owner of Natural Edge Furniture, a board member of the Orchard District neighborhood association and the founder of Bend’s Makers District, which sits inside the BCD, agreed that pedestrian access remains a barrier to getting people to visit—and ostensibly, to invest—in the area.

“One thing we hear over and over and over is, hey we walked here, and man it was a little scary out there, and so to have the bike paths, the Open Streets, these kinds of events, where we do invite other kinds of transportation, that’s really cool. So let’s keep doing that,” Ross said.

With the possibility of development also comes the possibility of

gentrification of the area, so Ross also expressed concerns about preserving the existing businesses in the Makers District.

“This area right now has the group producing things, making things with their hands,” Ross said. “With development and growth, we’re always concerned.”

In a city in need of more housing, Newbold and others, including some on the Bend City Council, see the area as low-hanging fruit for increasing density, largely in part because of its existing resources.

“We also need to develop some of the other sites in the (UGB) expansion areas, but those are still a number of years out, because we have to build roads, and sewer, get the utilities in there, the water, we have to plan all that and that takes time,” said City Councilor Nathan Boddie. “I’m not a big fan of waiting for that, because Bend needs these opportunities and the housing right now, and the nice thing about where you’re standing right here, we already have sewer, we have water, we have electricity, we have transportation infrastructure. It needs to be upgraded and changed, but it’s ready to go and we can pull the trigger right now.”

Added Bend City Councilor Barb Campbell: “This project needs to be led by the city of Bend, because there is not a single landowner. It is being led by Brooks Resources, but they also need support from the community, from the city—so your calls, your emails to us, to the Bend City Council will matter whether or not we move forward with this project.” SW

Interested in a foray into the backcountry?

A professional skier shares his story of stepping into mountaineering. (Hint: this can be dangerous; don't try it without proper prep.)

With their history, aridness and tough terrain, it can be daunting to try to summit any mountain other than South Sister—particularly when they’re covered in unforgiving snow. But Bendite Lucas Wachs, a professional skier with a background in park and powder backcountry skiing, wasn’t going to stop at just one.

Here’s his tale of setting out to conquer 10 peaks in the Pacific Northwest.

Check out Wachs' Volcano Voyage video at bendsource.com

Fletcher Photo

I

You must trust the weather, your gear, your group and maybe most importantly, your instincts.

— LUCAS WACHS

culmination of factors brings a level of complexity you don’t get in any other sport or time of year.

10 PEAKS, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER Our hit list for the volcanoes was very scattered and not done in any particular order, due to work schedules, timing, snowpack and our physical strength at the time. We climbed 10 volcanoes in total, starting at the end of May and ending at the beginning of July, including Mount Shasta, Mount McLoughlin, Mount Thielsen, The Three Sisters traverse, Broken Top, Mount Jefferson, Mount Hood and Mount Adams. We stuck close to home, although there are many more amazing volcanoes to climb.

Among the adventures, one mission stood out.

Mount Shasta was the tallest mountain any of our crew had been on. We were well aware of how long the hike would be to the top. It was the third-to-last volcano we climbed, so we had built up endurance and stamina for climbing. It was a daunting sight, parking at the bunny flat, looking up at that tall mountain, summit not even in sight due to a false summit visual: Misery Hill.

We woke up at 3:30 am, made some coffee and ate a quick bite. It was our goal to be skiing by 11. By first light we were at about the tree line, steadily making our way up Avalanche Gulch toward Horse Lake. Mount Shasta’s shadow cast all the way to the horizon, slowly shrinking as we gained elevation. The sight was beautifully distracting. Cameras were out the whole time, for the Volcano Voyage video that went along with the project. We made it to Misery Hill around 9 am.

That’s where we gained the eastern view and got the first direct rays of sun on our bodies—also a great place to eat a breakfast PB&J. After snack time, we made it up to the top by 10 am. We had the summit to ourselves and enjoyed a good half-hour at 14,180 feet. The blue of the sky deepens and the view is so expansive.

We could almost see the whole Oregon Cascade Range on that clear day—a euphoric moment reflecting on

the mountains we climbed, as well as the changing and expansive wilderness of the west coast. It’s a sight that will stick with me clearly forever.

After our fill of the summit we clicked into our skis and made our way down, choosing to ski the Trinity Chutes—a more technical descent than our route up.

We lucked out on timing and got perfect corn snow for about 4,000 feet before it got sticky. It was an unreal feeling, gliding down for thousands of feet that you gained with your own two feet. It just kept going, each turn with purpose and meaning. “Earning your turns” is a real thing!

THE REVELATIONS OF BACKCOUNTRY SKIING Who do you bring along on a voyage like this? None other than your friends, near and far, who help bring you to the top of the mountain and are OK with a bit of “ripe feet” at the end of the day (it’s OK, their feet smell, too). It’s a distilling experience that seems to sift out the outer noise of life, bringing you to the present moment of decision making… just you, your friends and the mountain. More primal instincts kick in and you tune in.

Many connections are made while climbing a volcano. The connection that seems to leave me feeling enriched and vitalized is the connection with mind and body. You’re making sure that every step counts, and in doing so you’re strengthening the power of being mindful, noticing your surroundings and yourself. I had a revelation while climbing these mountains, realizing it is where I go to find peace, find happiness and create myself. Yes, you very well might encounter some spiritual feelings up there.

This voyage is one made by many each spring to reach the top of these eroding, crumply mountain tops.

The time you spend on these mountains gives you a chance to tap into the beauty of the world, along with yourself and your partners—but the exact feelings you’ll have are for you to go and find out for yourself. I hope this voyage can inspire you to sculpt one of your own. SW

feel the most alive when I hike for hours, sweating out all the water in my body, feeling the sun blazing down on my skin. It doesn’t sound like the most energizing activity, but if you can find solace in the suffering it brings you, you can also find unexpected peace and energy. Spring skiing cultivates ripe corn snow, ready for the smooth indentations of your skis. Gliding down these mountains of crumbly rock and soft snow with some of the area’s best skiers and exploring peaks we’d never set foot on was something I’ve always thought about—and finally achieved this past spring. We took time planning; aiming for that immaculate snow. In the end, it was worth the 3 am wake up calls, the smashed, soggy PB&Js and the pruned, blistered feet.

Spiritual feelings? You bet. These mountains are my church.

Skiing in the spring or summer is much different than winter. For one, the missions require a lot of time prepping, planning and researching. It’s easy to build high expectations for your trip— which can be good and bad—but all the group messages and weather forecasting pays off when you actually summit that nostalgic volcano peak. The risk of avalanches is lower due to the somewhat regular freeze and thaw cycles that help stabilize the layers in the snowpack. That doesn’t mean avalanches are non-existent; wet slides and point releases (when the top few inches of snow below the rock starts to slide on its own, due to high heat and steepness of the slope) are very real and happen regularly late in the day.

In addition, the weather is more predictable and the temps are a lot warmer—and I mean A LOT warmer.

You might even want to hike in shorts at times to keep the sweat down. Even with all of that, the timing is key, because rock and icefall is also a serious factor. You want to avoid the path of rock and ice fall, but sometimes it’s unavoidable and all you can do is mitigate the risk by being on top of your line or mountain early.

Warm temps also mean sweating, and with that sweating comes dehydration, and dehydration means less energy on these long missions—which is why you want to hydrate properly with electrolytes and bring a lot of food, more than you realize. My go-to snacks are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the occasional Nutella mixed in, as well as beef jerky, trail mix and of course, classic energy bars.

You never know how long the mission will take, so taking all the necessary steps before climbing is key.

You must trust the weather, your gear, your group and maybe most importantly, your instincts. The

The group also maintains six backcountry warming shelters including Swampy Lakes, Nordeen, Shooting Star, Swede Ridge, Edison and AC-DC, as well as maintaining firewood supplies in the shelters when needed. Last year, the group rebuilt the Swampy Lakes shelter after gathering $35,000 in donations.

PET SAFETY

Pets Have Winter, Too

A few tips on keeping your furry friends safe when the flakes fly

BY A N N E M A R I E D A G G E T T, B E N D P E T E X P R E S S

PROTECT THEIR PAWS. During winter most icy sidewalks get cleared with salt. Salt works great on the ice, but not so great with your pet. Salt can irritate your pet's paws, and even worse, it’s toxic. So if your dog licks his paws he could ingest it.

What to do?

1. Apply “Mushers Secret”—like an invisible boot for your dog. It provides a wax barrier between your pup and the ground surface.

2. Throw on some booties. Booties not only protect paws from the ice, but they add a layer of warmth.

3. Wipe their paws. At the very least be sure to wipe your pup’s paws each time they come inside to remove irritants and toxins.

USE A COAT OR SWEATER. Did you know that some dogs have been bred out of having a heavy winter coat? That means unless your dog is defined as a snow dog they are not

meant to be in cold temperatures for long periods of time. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too cold for you to be outside without a coat, then it’s too cold for your dog, too—so throw your pup in a fleece or jacket.

Just because you put your pooch in a jacket doesn’t mean you can then just throw him outside. Always watch how long they are outdoors and make sure they always have protective shelter.

TRACK YOUR DOG’S WEIGHT. Want to know if you’re dog is too cold? Track his or her weight. When dogs are cold they shiver more; therefore they burn more calories. If your pup is losing weight during cold months you might want to feed him more (or get him a winter jacket).

DON’T USE METAL WATER DISHES OUTSIDE. Metal water dishes can freeze and your dog’s tongue can get stuck to the

If you do, you may have the Central Oregon Nordic Club to thank for the 5,000 hours of trail and shelter work they’ve done over the past year, getting those trails ready for winter fun.

According to CONC member Linda Frost, the group maintains 79 miles of snowshoe trails and 125 miles of ski trails —the largest system of marked and maintained backcountry trails in Oregon. The Central Oregon snowshoe trail system, meanwhile, is the

dish. If you keep water outside, use a plastic or porcelain dish. Or use a heated dog waterer.

CHECK YOUR FENCE. Rising snow levels make it easier for your pet to escape a fenced yard.

Look at the corners of your fence after a big snowfall to make sure your pet can’t use the piles of snow to get out.

BEWARE OF ANTIFREEZE Always clean up antifreeze if you spill it. It’s toxic to dogs and cats, yet they are extremely attracted to it. It’s up to us to keep our pets safe. *Special caution for cat owners and all vehicle owners. Cats will find warmth easily when the temperature drops, and unfortunately that could come in the form of a car engine. Bang on the hood of your car to scare away any cats that could be getting cozy.

BOOK TALK

AS INTERVIEWED BY MAGDALENA BOKOWA

“Hardwired to ski.” That’s the reason why author and avid ski-writer Peter Shelton has been chasing powder from the Swiss Alps to the Colorado Rockies for over 40 years. Having written for “Powder,” “Ski” and “Outside” magazines,”—to name a few— Shelton has amassed a collection of over 500 stories, which he whittled down to 50 for his latest book, a memoir entitled, “Tracks in the Snow.” The Source Weekly sat down with the soft-spoken Shelton to speak about his illustrious writing career, his passion for pow and his love of Mount Bachelor.

Source Weekly: Who did you write this book for?

Katrina Langenderfer

Peter Shelton: I wrote it mostly for me—it’s a memoir—but also for folks who followed my magazine career and for my family —like my mother— who aren’t skiers and weren’t privy to experiencing this large piece of my life.

SW: How has the ski industry changed in the 40 years that you’ve covered it?

Tara Lynn

PS: When Ellen (his wife) and I started teaching skiing in the ‘70s, — you could make a professional career out of it. When ski schools and resorts were private, I’d earn 60 percent off a ski lesson. An instructor could support a family of four.

That’s all changed now with most resorts going corporate. In part, things started to change when the first ski resorts were sued in the late 70s. Ski lift tickets quadrupled and all of a sudden you had liability to think of. The climate also started to change and you started making snow in the 80s and then, of course, you’d have to use expensive machinery to groom the pile of man-made snow. It became expensive to run a resort.

Nowadays — kids who are hardwired to ski like I am — want to teach, but they often make less than minimum wage.

They do it for a season or two then get burnt out and the turnover is incredibly high.

But if you go to Europe, in most places they still treat it as a professional, vocational career. You can get degrees in ski teaching. They look at it differently. That’s unfortunately been lost here in the United States.

SW: As a niche writer for 40 years, how’d you keep going?

PS: Skiing is endlessly fascinating for me, and for whatever reason its intrigue has never dissipated.. It’s like living with an addiction, (laughs). No, seriously, a fellow skier called it we’re “hardwired.” I’m sure there are skiers out there that can relate to this feeling.

There isn’t a day in winter where I don’t think about skiing or wish I was skiing. Those like us — those that are “hardwired”— we clear our schedules, take on less responsibility in the winter months, so we can get up to the mountain early and relish flying through space. On the snow, gliding, arching, making the most aesthetically pleasing and physically and technically precise turns as we can.

SW: Do you write from memory? What’s your process in retelling these ski adventures?

Kourtni Perez

13

PS: Still to this day, I actually keep a notebook in my back pocket (laughs). I write everything I experience; otherwise, I’d forget. In the ‘80s when we were testing 10 to 12 skis a day, for example, I got good at “chairlift” writing — though they were maybe slower than today’s lifts. (Laughs)

SW: Any memorable moments during your 40-year career?

PS: I remember one particular experience where I was in Switzerland — It was my first trip to Europe and I was profiling Dick Bass (the first climber to scale the highest peaks on each continent including Mount Everest and started the Utah ski resort “Snowbird” in 1971).

We had spent several days together and I had filled an entire notebook worth of experiences, quotes and descriptions. We were at the lodge, hosted and toasted by the likes of Genie Hess (uncle of famed ‘80s alpine Olympian Erika Hess) and I realized I had left the notebook somewhere on a gondola. Here I was surrounded by pro skiers, at an elegant table with fine beers and wines and I was sick to my stomach, trying to figure out what to do. One of the Swiss guys figured it out, disappeared for 1.5 hours and came back with the notebook. The huge wave of relief and gratitude, well, I still feel it to this day.

SW: In this collection of 50 stories, which ones are your favorites?

PW: (Pauses). Probably “Code White,” which is an homage to a pair of carving skis I got my first winter here at Mount Bachelor and “Powder Epiphanies,” which is a five-day ski trip I took with my daughter Cloe, who is now a radiologist here. She was 19 at the time, attending U of C Boulder and 68 inches fell during those five days—which is a lot in Colorado. She had never really experienced powder snow before, and in what took me 20 years to figure out, she figured out how to powder ski in five days.

“There’s the cliché about skiing in the trees, how you don’t look at the trees, but the space in between them. Well, she just looked at me, and without me saying a word, said, “Dad, you have to look at the spaces in between the trees,” and went off.

I was blown away. On the fifth day, I was at the ticket counter buying our last passes for the trip and mentioned it was for my daughter and I. The cashier replied, “So one adult, and one child?” And I remember slowly shaking my head, smiling and replying, “Nope. Two adults, please. She’s all grown up now.”

There was real magic in that experience. A real father-daughter bonding trip and I’m glad I’ve been able to document these moments.

SW: Having skied all over the place, why’d you decide to settle in Bend and ski Mount Bachelor?

PS: Well, first, we have grandchildren here, but I also just love Mount Bachelor. I first came here on assignment in ‘85 to profile Justin Wadsworth (one of the first Nordic skiers to skate ski) and fell in love with the wonderful terrain here. It’s perfect for the type of skiing I love ,which is: a) exploring the mountain for the purpose of the softest snow and: b) using the soft snow for surfing. It’s the same reason Gerry Lopez, who I idolize, loves this mountain, because we can surf it.

The volcanic terrain creates these mountain furrows and the wind here is really beneficial. Some complain it’s too windy but it creates those wavelength shapes. It blows in 4 inches of powder into a line and all of a sudden you’ve got some deep powder. I skied 80 days last season and 60 to 70 were what I’d say were powder days… which means there were days when I could find tracks and make turns which didn’t make noise. That’s unheard of in Colorado. SW Peter Shelton is the author of six books including his latest, “Tracks in the Snow: Stories from a life on skis.” He will have a reading and book signing on Oct 25 at 2 pm at Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe.

WORDS BY CAITLIN RICHMOND PHOTOS BY FOREST WOODWARD

o you know what type II fun is? It’s the kind of fun where you are miserable while you’re in the throes of whatever you’re doing, but it makes for the BEST stories afterward. Alpine climbing is the epitome of type II fun, to the point where alpine climbers have a joke about it.

“The best trait an alpine climber can have is a bad memory,” Graham Zimmerman said, laughing. If they can easily forget about the freezing, sleepless nights, the cold days and the beating they willingly put their bodies through, they can always be convinced to go on another adventure.

Zimmerman and Chris Wright are two such climbers who live in Bend.

Wright moved to Bend in 2005 for what he thought would be a summer and a winter season of climbing at Smith Rock State Park. He followed the path most local climbers do—he worked at local gear store Mountain Supply so that he could take off long periods of time to go on climbing trips, but still have a job waiting for him when he got back. In 2006 he realized he could get paid to take people climbing, so he started working for Bend-based Timberline Mountain Guides.

“I got really lucky because some guides work for companies in the Northwest that don’t have a very healthy work environment, but Pete [Keane, the owner of TMG] is the opposite,” Wright explained. “He makes you feel valuable, which is much more sustainable for the long term.”

Wright spent many seasons guiding on Mount Hood, now saying he’s climbed the south side of Hood so many times he can’t actually count them all. Although guiding can be somewhat repetitive, Wright can’t imagine doing anything else. These days, he spends most of his work time guiding mountaineering trips in Chamonix, France, and ski trips in Lofoten, Norway through his guiding company, Now! Climbing. He’s certified through the American Mountain Guiding Association and the International Federation of Mountain Guides

Above, Chris Wright left; Graham Zimmerman. Below left, Wright ropes up in Pakistan, while Zimmerman climbs in the Purcell Wilderness Provincial Park in Bristish Columbia, middle and right.

Association as a mountain guide—a certification that “Men’s Journal” compares to getting a Ph.D. On the other end of the "climbing is my life" spectrum, Zimmerman has managed to achieve something that most climbers only dream of: he gets paid to explore rural and relatively unknown and document what he finds there through pictures and other media. When he’s not off in the mountains, Zimmerman works as the creative content director of Bedrock Films. A recent film he produced is humorous one about learning to mountain bike with his partner, Shannon McDowell, and a bike-packing trip they went on together in the Owyhee Canyonlands.

Although he does more than climb, mountaineering has been Zimmerman's number one passion for more than a decade (which is saying a lot considering he’s in his early 30s), and he has the resume to prove it. He has numerous first ascents and was a Piolet d’Or finalist— like the gold medal of climbing. Mountaineering isn’t his only interest, though.

“The athlete stuff is great, and as an athlete you get your soapbox, and it’s like, OK, what are you going to do with that?” Zimmerman said. He decided to use his platform to educate people about climate change and women’s empowerment. “We all remember that one person who told us something that got us where we are today. I want to be an athlete brand based on inspiration and being nice to Mother Earth.”

Even though Wright and Zimmerman have somewhat opposite jobs, they lived together when Zimmerman moved to Bend, and when they go on expeditions together they are both chasing the same thing: First

ascents in remote, unexplored places.

“As an alpinist my primary focus is trying to do things that have not been done before, in lesser explored areas in bigger ranges,” Zimmerman explained. “I want to climb a big route on an unclimbed mountain that no one has heard of.”

Both Zimmerman and Wright have been interested in exploring since they were kids. Wright thinks his interest stemmed as a reaction from having a scared and controlling mom who didn’t want him to do much exploring as a kid, while Zimmerman grew up almost idolizing explorers like Ernest Shackleton and Francis Drake.

Their most recent expedition together was to the Karakorum Range on the border of India and Pakistan.

The two of them went with Steve Swenson, another well-known alpinist who’s been climbing there since 1980. Although bad weather kept them from any summits they attempted to climb, the trip wasn’t a let down.

Wright and Zimmerman say expeditions allow you to get away from the rat race feeling of day-to-day life.

When they are in the mountains there’s no Internet, there are no daily errands to run and every decision you make feels like an important one, Wright described.

“Alpine climbing is the framework to go out there and make decisions that matter and make you feel like you’re responsible for those decisions,” Wright said. “You develop a genuine connection with the people and the place you’re in. It makes you fully present. You experience being alive. And it’s incredibly beautiful! Not just the view, but the feeling and the connection.” SW

MONITOR WILD HORSES IN THE OCHOCO MOUNTAINS

THE NATURE OF WINTER: MT. BACHELOR RANGERS WANTED “Loves people. Natural mentoring spirit. Active.

Likes variety. Rolls with changing conditions. Doesn’t mind the cold.” That’s how Stacey Cochran describes the ideal Discover Your Forest volunteer ranger. She’s recruiting rangers for three Mount Bachelor programs: Project SNOW, Snowshoe with a Ranger and Ski/Snowboard with a Ranger. Many Benditos are familiar with “Snowshoe with a Ranger.” Did you know that Discover Your Forest also provides field trips for school groups during the week in the Project SNOW program? And that you can ski or snowboard with a volunteer ranger on weekends?

These high-visibility programs require lots of volunteers, and Cochran wants you! Ranger applicants will be thoroughly trained, because, as Cochran says, “We want our volunteers to be comfortable and confident.” Discover Your Forest volunteer rangers wear Forest Service uniforms, so they need to be well-prepared. Training includes a two-day Certified Interpretive Ranger course and classes with Forest Service scientists. CPR and First Aid certification are also part of the volunteer ranger training. Each ranger will develop a 20-minute talk on a topic of their choice relating to winter in the Cascades. No natural history knowledge is necessary, because the experts will teach you what you need to know. Topics in the past have included Cascade geology, tree ID, animal winter survival and snow science.

If you’re a skier or snowboarder, you can volunteer while having fun on the slopes. Ski/Snowboard Rangers take two intermediate runs with interested people, adding several stops to talk about the nature all around them.

Project SNOW (Studying Nature Outdoors in Winter) Rangers visit 4th and 5th graders in their classrooms before their Mount Bachelor visit, lead the kids on their short educational hike on the mountain, and make a return visit to the classroom after their field trip. These programs run four school days each week in January, February and March.

In addition to spending a day on the mountain, benefits of being a volunteer ranger include a NW Forest Pass after a certain number of hours, natural history knowledge and ranger know-how, CPR and First Aid training, and a volunteer recognition soiree. Plus, you get to wear that cool uniform! The application for all three programs is easily accessible on the Discover Your Forest website.

WANT TO PARTICIPATE? You don’t need reservations or experience to snowshoe with a ranger, and snowshoes are provided. If your group is larger than seven, call ahead so enough rangers are on hand. Skiers and snowboarders can join ranger-led runs for free with a lift ticket.

Discover Your Forest needs citizen scientists to help monitor wild horses in the Ochoco National Forest this winter. Monitoring will be done on horseback, and Forest staff will even teach you to ride! Call Stacy Cochran for details.

From Your Soul SOUND Sing Once encouraged to charter another musical route,

Kandace Springs found her true passion in jazz music

By Anne Pick

21 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 42 / October 19, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Kandace Springs, jazz singer and pianist, is not quite a household name—but she very well could be on that path.

submitted

“I

remember sending Prince little clips of me singing and playing just jazz standards like ‘Sophisticated Lady,’ some throwback songs just on the piano and he said, ‘This is you, this needs to be heard, you could be the Roberta Flack of your generation,” Kandace Springs says.

While Springs may not be a household name just yet, she’s on the path to that level of stardom. Before she struck up an unlikely friendship with Prince—yes, PRINCE—the jazz songstress found herself on a different record label, going in a direction that wasn’t necessarily true to her real passion. According to Springs, they looked at what she did, but told her people didn’t buy jazz albums anymore.

Luckily, she listened to advice from both her father and Prince, who discovered Springs after seeing a video of her covering Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” Since that time, Springs has released her first album, “Soul Eyes,” on the famous Blue Note Records, with a second scheduled for a March release.

Her advice to young people pursuing jazz: “Be yourself, and if you have any signature things you do, don’t let anyone tell you different,” she says. “They’ll say people don’t play that anymore, but yes they do, actually. Don’t let them do that to you. Be confident, too, and keep writing. Don’t stop playing your instrument; sing from your soul.”

Springs, in her 20s, was first introduced to jazz by her father, the session vocalist Scat Springs. She remembers being 10 years old and her father playing Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall and newer artists including Norah Jones. She started playing piano and then in her early teens began singing. She learned classical piano and then studied the songs of Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson, both renowned jazz pianists.

“I see the world in colors and when I hear music, I see colors and, you know, you paint a picture... and I feel like jazz secretly has more colors than other types of music, and it’s not a problem and it’s all beautiful in its own way,” Springs says. “Sometimes

less is more, but there’s something about jazz I’m so drawn to, it’s music in every shade; you can mix and match.”

Springs does a lot of her own songwriting, but also appreciates co-writing. Some of her best songs have been collaborations, which she believes opens one up to a wider spectrum since there’s someone else in there with their point of view on the melody or lyrics.

“I actually did co-write a little bit with Prince in 2016, on my birthday, January 18, 2016,” Springs says. “I have some secret tracks hidden on my phone of the stuff we started.”

Springs has also co-written with her father and with Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken, a songwriting and production team that’s also worked with other artists including Rihanna.

“It’ll be more edgy than the last one, which was really more laid back,” Springs says of her forthcoming album. “This one is very soulful, chill. It’s almost a little like Erika Badu, Roberta (Flack), like ‘The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face,’ jazz standards, the stuff that punches.”

When she’s not creating colorful pictures with jazz, Springs loves cars. Prior to pursuing a career in music, she considered going to automotive design school. She loves American muscle cars and had a hard time narrowing it down to one specific dream car. She has a soft spot for big V8 motors and digs the Corvette ZR1, but you can also catch her driving a Jeep on her Instagram.

So what does she listen to while she’s behind the wheel of one of those great cars?

“Sade for sure, Robert Glasper’s ‘Black Radio 2’ album, Ella Fitzgerald, and you know, another would be the ‘Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.’” SW

“You can listen to the record and hear all of the different sounds and soundscapes in a refined and direct way,” drummer and vocalist Tayo Branston says. “For us, and as musicians, looking back, these were the best things that we’ve ever been able to capture and get on a record.”

Branston offers an interesting way to look at the album creation and release process. I asked how the sound has evolved and how it differs from their previous work, viewing each album as evidence of how a band’s skills have increased gives a different perspective, rather than merely looking at how “good” or “bad” it sounds.

Five Alarm Funk recently won the title of Best Instrumental Act at the Western Canada Music Awards. As someone who has an instant connection and attraction to the lyrics of a song, instrumental bands like Five Alarm Funk intrigue me. For Five Alarm Funk, the music nearly always comes first. Many of the members have a love of artists like Frank Zappa and grew up on jazz, which makes sense in forming a primarily instrumental band.

“Instrumental music has always been very interesting for the band. And it’s something we’ve always done. So now, getting into ‘Sweat,’ and where we want to put vocals and where we don’t, it really comes down to the sound of the song and whether or not we feel like portraying a certain thing during a song.

Each individual song will sing to what it needs.”

For the band, they come up with a song, get into the studio and have the goal of making the best instrumental song they can. Sometimes it may call for lyrics and other times it may

Five Alarm Funk plays their funky jams all over North America, including a stop at Burning Man this year. not— though Branston admits they do have a new song they’ll be releasing in January that’s primarily lyric-driven.

At a Five Alarm Funk show, it’s all about letting loose and forgetting about the negative. Branston loves the cyclical energy of a concert and embracing the power and energy that the band gets from the crowd. Known for their stage show theatrics, not only will Five Alarm Funk make you dance, but you’ll be entertained beyond the music.

“It’s mostly improvisation, but we’ve played so many shows,” Branston says.

“We got into the stage show theatrics about seven years ago. Everyone has free range, but the players know what the other guys are doing. Different sections, like the guitar section, know what they are doing. The conga and timbales players are more maniacal.”

The guys in Five Alarm Funk have built a family bond since the formation of the band in 2003.

“For us, we live to play and bring energy to the world, wherever we are,” Branston says. SW Five Alarm Funk

FEATURED SEGMENTS MUSTANG POWDER LODGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA ATHLETE > SCOTTY ARNOLD, JEREMY JENSEN, NEIL PROVO, IAN PROVO EQUIPMENT > POWSURFERS, SNOWCATS Pro athletes Scotty Arnold and Neil and Ian Provo have mastered steep lines and terrain parks, but the fundamentals of balance and turning become most important when they head up to British Columbia’s Mustang Powder Lodge to powsurf some of the world’s greatest snow. With powdersurfing, there are no bindings so “to even make it down the hill is an accomplishment,” and the guys are reminded of that, feeling of first learning to snowboard, ski, skate, or surf. For Grassroots Powdersurfing founder Jeremy Jensen, that’s why powdersurfing is the “fountain of youth ”—it can make even the most talented athletes feel like a kid again.

JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING ATHLETES > TOMMY MOE & FAMILY, JESS MCMILLAN, ROB KINGWILL, GRIFFIN POST EQUIPMENT > SKIS, SNOWBOARDS Jackson Hole’s iconic tram, or B ig Red as the locals call it, pumps 100 people straight up to skier heaven every ten minutes and opens its doors to 4,000 feet of contin-

uous vertical terrain. Locals Tommy Moe, Jess McMillan, Rob Kingwill, and Griffin Post lead the way around the mountain that Jess McMillan describes as “rough, ragged, comforting, and inviting all at the same time.” Beyond the dreamlike days of deep powder with fresh refills and your pick of endless expert lines, you’ll find some of the most educated ski bums in the world and an authentic mountain spirit where animals and people coexist. It’s like-minded people who are “doing whatever it takes to be able to ski day in and day out” in Jackson Hole.

NEW ZEALAND ATHLETES > SETH WESCOTT, ROB KINGWILL EQUIPMENT > SNOWBOARDS, HELICOPTER It’s no secret that athletes Seth Wescott and Rob Kingwill have mastered the art of snowboarding, but sometimes even the pros are reminded of the sheer power of a mountain and the unconditional respect that it requires.

In New Zealand, the guys carve and float on steep slopes and complex terrain to tap into “that edge where you feel like you might die, but at the same time you feel the most alive.” While it’s a fine line to ride, these are the moments they keep coming back for.

Weekly gathering highlights Bend’s motorcycle scene

By Howard Leff

stuff. We share it. We’re trying to jump start Bend to do something fun on the mechanical side of things.”

Turns out it’s a simple effort to bring like-minded people together to strengthen Bend’s growing biker and vintage car community. “A night for motorcycle and car enthusiasts to meet up and just hang out,” says Adam Huddart, co-owner of the adjacent VR Garage, which specializes in vintage cars. “A chance to see other people whom they haven’t seen, or meet new people talking about the stuff they have or want to do. See new locations, allow other shops to expose themselves as well—so people can see what’s going on in their shop.”

A partial list of other locations hosting Garage Nights includes Giant Loop, TCS (Total Cycle Solutions), Spoken Moto and the blacksmith shop, Orion Forge.

Peter Grant stopped into 6 Volt on this night with his friend Julie Langou.

“We would not have met each other if not for evenings like this,” says Grant.

“They just open up the garage and we can talk with each other and look at each other’s bikes. There’s a lot of information that can be shared. It’s a neat motorcycle community.” Langou then points out a growing trend in the Bend biking scene.

“We have a motorcycle riding group here just for women,” she says. “Some women go with their husbands or boyfriends and they ride on the back, but most of the women you see at Garage Night have their own motorcycle.”

Ingrid Granlin, who works at Giant Loop, is one of them. “I meet more and more women every year buying motorcycles,” she says. “There are more small bikes. For a long time it was hard to

t’s that recurring dream again. There’s an endless stretch of highway. The open road.

Or perhaps it’s off-road. A remote trail maybe. Dirt? Pavement? Doesn’t really matter and besides, I’m just deep into my fantasy biker life at the moment.

As the wind buffets my securely helmeted head, I feel the engine’s horsepower below. (Do they still measure power with horses?) Anyway, there I am, atop my motorcycle, effortlessly switching gears just at the right time, clutch and throttle in perfect sync. Heading into the dusk of another perfect evening. Sun on the horizon. The love of my life sitting right behind me, arms wrapped around my suddenly muscle-bound midsection.

Could it actually happen?

After a visit to one of Bend’s recent Wednesday “Garage Nights,” who knows? That decadent mixture of gas, oil and rubber permeating the air inside 6 Volt Cycles on the city’s east side makes you want to grab a two-wheeler and start living that biker life in the real world.

Step aside skiers, kayakers and paddleboarders. There’s a new sport in town. Well, not exactly new—but certainly on the rise again in Central Oregon. Garage Night is an informal weekly gathering which takes place at a rotating list of bike shops around town. On this particular night, dozens of motorcycle (and car) enthusiasts are milling about, checking out the various models, chatting about things like equipment, parts, trails and future adventures.

find a bike where, if you were under 5’7”, you could really put your feet on the ground.”

For her, motorcycles have opened up a whole new world. She recently purchased a dual-sport bike—basically an off-road motorcycle you can legally ride on the street. Bend, she says, provides the perfect backdrop. “There are endless amounts of places to access with a dual-sport. So you get on the pavement and go for a few minutes, then you get on a dirt road and just explore, and it’s all about exploring here. We’ll often take the bikes and go find a lake to go swim in, or go hike somewhere.”

Grant also boasts about the number of scenic rides accessible from Bend.

“We have the mountains, the high desert and plenty of twisty mountain roads,”

he says. “You can go out east and really enjoy some spirited riding and not worry too much about animals. We go out east to the Wallowa mountains. Oregon’s just a great state for riding and the roads are in fairly good shape once you leave Bend.”

Leaving 6 Volt, I head out into the chilly night wishing I had a cool dualsport waiting for me in the parking lot. Something to handle all those twisty roads. Something with plenty of horsepower. SW Garage Night

a “swap” between the artist themselves: an opportunity to gather, share, trade and meet new artists in the community who are joining in for this once-a-year event.

While the entire $20 from each sale goes to the artist, many artists use their credit to pick up a piece of inspiring work by

another, who they might not otherwise be able to afford to buy from.

“So many people do not give themselves permission to buy art,” suggests Stuart Bridenstein, who hosts the event every year. This year it will take place on Oct. 21 in the new space on 9th Street, the Bright Place Gallery. “People think it’s frivolous or something. And this allows people who might not feel art is in their budget to procure some.”

This year you will see work from Monica Helms, Megan McGuiness, Kaycee Anseth, Derek Stevens, Tara Doherty, Stephanie Olsen, Stuart Briedenstein, Abby Cakes, me (yes, full disclosure, I participate in this event and I love it) and more. An estimated 100 pieces of art will be for sale. All pieces will be small, under 6 inches by 6 inches, hand made and one of a kind.

“The show has been a really fun place to hang out with other artists and creatives, and it’s incredibly inspiring to see the works, what everyone is able to imagine and create,” shares Monica Helms, a local painter who specializes in modern, abstract images of animals. But not everyone submits paintings. You will also find encaustic works, embroidery, framed drawings and more. It is always suggested that you arrive early, because these small, lovely originals find homes very quickly. SW

Above are the Reuben sliders, which leave wanting more. Inset, below, is the deliciously healthful ginger chicken salad.

T

he last time I went near the restaurant at the south end of the Bend Factory Stores complex on Hwy. 97, I peeked in and discovered that I probably wasn’t old enough to dine there— and I am no spring chicken. These days, the Italian restaurant with its muddied, faux-finish walls is gone, painted over and the interior remodeled to be the clean, bright and inviting Wild Oregon Foods.

The menu at the modern, Northwest-inspired deli is family friendly, but still interesting, filled with Jewish and Italian deli style appetizers, soups, salads and sandwiches. One unexpected surprise: the full bar and craft cocktail menu.

You don’t usually find that in a deli.

On a recent midday, my sister (visiting from L.A.), my brother and my parents headed there. Almost all of us ordered something different, and then we picked a tall community table by the bar. It felt like we had a private room even though it opened to the rest of the restaurant.

My brother ordered a cocktail, the Oregon marionberry smash made with locally-made Broken Top bourbon and Wild Roots marionberry vodka, fresh basil and lemon. He let me try a sip and I didn’t expect it to be so balanced. The marionberry vodka is pretty strong and sweet to begin with, yet I could still taste the whiskey.

Before I knew it, my ginger chicken salad was placed in front of me. The pile of arugula, Napa, green, and red cabbages with carrots and bell peppers looked crisp and fresh. It was topped with tender, seasoned, sliced chicken and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I was happy to discover the ginger sesame vinaigrette was evenly tossed in the salad. I like greens and want to taste the spiciness of arugula or the bitter notes in the cabbage, so I hate it when a salad is drowned in dressing. The ginger chicken salad delivered. I could see eating this every day as a delicious, healthy lunch.

Since it was my sister sitting next to me with an Italian grinder sandwich with chips, I had no problem grabbing a golden, house-made potato chip without asking. The chip was salty, crispy and yummy; it was going to be a challenge to not steal more chips.

Everyone at the table agreed about the chips—including my brother who was taking a bite out of his chickpea salad sandwich. He’s vegan and I was relieved he had some options. He said his sandwich was delicious and he enjoyed the fresh basil and sunflower seeds mixed with the chickpeas. His only critique was that he wished the bread was toasted.

My dad had ordered the Reuben sliders, which came in a set of three. The

little marble rye rolls were sandwiched with braised corn beef, pickled cabbage, smoked aioli and creamy Havarti cheese. I tried a bite. Woah! The Reuben wasn’t just really good, it was freaking amazing. I went back to my really tasty, crunchy, healthy salad and with each bite thought about that Reuben. Maybe Dad won’t be able to finish all three and I can have a little more, I thought.

Who was I kidding? When Chef James Fink came out to make sure everything tasted good, my dad told him, “These should come with six”—and with that, my hopes were dashed.

From the taste of that Reuben, it’s no surprise to me now that Fink is a classically trained chef. He has over 20 years of experience, having worked for high-end companies including Brasada Ranch and Carrie Dove in San Francisco. While he was talking to us he said we just missed the apple hand pies, but to check out the peanut butter bars.

Not being ones to ignore a chef’s suggestion, my sister and I ordered two bars for the table. The peanut butter bars looked rustic, and quite frankly, like nothing special. Boy was I wrong.

The salty, creamy, sweet peanut butter bar melted in my mouth. To quote baking icon Mary Berry, “It is scrummy.”

I’m wrapping up this review because you—and I—need to head over to Wild Oregon Foods now. Get the Reuben, house-made potato chips and a peanut butter bar. Your taste buds will be in heaven. You’re welcome. SW Wild Oregon Foods

In a crazy turn of events, a pork shoulder pie beat traditional sweet pies to win the grand prize at the Fall Festival pie baking contest. The competition was open to homebakers, with 13 adults and seven children submitting pies.

Meat pies are quite popular in the U.K. and Australia but in the U.S., not so much. Usually you can only find chicken pot pies. The mastermind behind that exquisite pork shoulder pie is Amanda Upton, a 21-year-old who works at Savory Spice Shop.

Upton said she didn’t think she would win because she wasn’t sure she’d make it on time, because her pie was taking a while to bake. Why savory? She said it was the first thing she thought of. She practiced several different pies, first considering chicken and kale, then settling on pulled pork. Her award-winning pie was made from a crust recipe she found online and a filling she came up with. That delicious filling included pork shoulder, celery, peas, carrots, onions, potatoes, beef broth and spices.

I asked her how she kept her pie from developing the dreaded soggy bottom.

Upton’s baking secret was adding an egg wash over the crust and baking it for five minutes before adding the filling. What a brilliant idea!

Upton loves cooking and is interested in a career in the food industry… maybe in a restaurant or bakery since she loves making pastry. That pie contest win is a great start. SW

Brooding over where to go next at Stoup Brewing.

A

s is to be expected in this region, Seattle has approximately eight hundred million breweries, give or take a few, ranging from the old and well-established, such as Pike Brewing’s pub in the middle of the famous Pike Place Market downtown, to the brand-spanking new, including the hip and industrial-looking Cloudburst Brewing a few blocks down from the Pike.

In terms of sheer density, however, the Ballard neighborhood on Seattle’s west side is definitely the local version of the Pearl in Portland, or perhaps Galveston Avenue here in Bend. It was where the first Red Hook brewery was started in 1982, and it’s now home to 11 different breweries and a Lagunitas taproom, all an easy walk from each other, guaranteeing a pleasant afternoon for visitors. (Bonus: Nearly all of them are dog friendly, and there are tons of food trucks and local joints for dinner.)

Some of the names around Ballard will be familiar, such as Hale’s Ales and the semi-nearby Fremont Brewing, whose fresh-hop creations this year have turned heads across greater Cascadia. Do a little hunting, however, and there are lots of hidden gems for the tourist to find. A few of the highlights: Reuben’s Brews: Launched from a Kickstarter in 2012 by Adam Robbings (and named after his son), Reuben’s is in a wide-open warehouse building that offers a constantly-shifting variety of 24 taps. They’ve begun distributing

in Central Oregon a bit, starting with the “r & R” pilsner they collaborated with Rainier on, but their stock in trade these days is in lagers, IPAs and freshhop beers. The Crikey IPA is their Fresh Squeezed, basically, while Home From Home, a hazier IPA with coffee and lactose, is one for the adventurous.

Stoup Brewing: “The Art and Science of Beer” is their tagline, and it shows in Stoup’s selections, which include things such as the citrusy and experimental hop-laden Psycho-Tropic IPA. It’s also worth picking up a bottle of their barrel-aged Flemish Red, brewed as a team with beloved northeast-Seattle establishment Latona Pub—aged for eight months and providing sweet, smooth Belgian-ness.

Obec Brewing: Newest to the neighborhood ( just launched in September) is Obec, whose name means “community” in the Czech language. Founder Wayne Jehlik is serious about Old World-style beers, and his Czech pilsner is to die for—light, bursting with flavor and drinkable the entire evening through. This being the Northwest, they have to produce an IPA, too, but Obec’s take is darker, sweeter and pleasantly out of the norm. This dark space is a great spot to escape the weekend crowds elsewhere, too. SW

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

THE FOREIGNER: This is definitely not your

typical Jackie Chan movie, with the badass action hero playing a grieving father searching for the terrorists who blew up his daughter. While he still has a few action scenes, “The Foreigner” sees Chan giving a serious performance with none of his usual goofy mugging. The film is more of a political thriller than an action movie, so expecting that before going in will keep the disappointment in check. See full review on p 41. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HAPPY DEATH DAY: It seems like a concept

that should have been ripped off already, but “Happy Death Day” takes the concept of “Groundhog Day” and puts it square in the middle of the slasher genre. While the movie has a few fun moments, it's also incredibly stupid and relies on a few twists that make little to no sense. Still, it's pretty entertaining. See full review on p41. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

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 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

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 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

THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US: The trailers make “The Mountain Between Us” look like an exciting survival thriller along the lines of “Alive,” but reviews seem to suggest that the film is actually a romance set against the backdrop of certain death. That sounds like “Titanic,” which is pretty exciting since the whole “We're Gonna Freeze To Death Unless We Spoon” genre really needs another strong entry. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House MY LITTLE PONY: The Movie: “My Little Pony:

Friendship is Magic” is a pretty delightful animated series that has legions of fans, both children and adult. There's a sense of optimism to the show that it's nice to foster in this age of jaded cynicism and unfettered snark. If the movie keeps the heart of the show firmly intact, then children, their parents and Bronies across the world should have a wonderful time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PROFESSOR MARSTON & THE WONDER WOMEN: The story of the man who

created Wonder Woman and the unconventional relationship that inspired the greatest female superhero of all time. Starring Luke Evans, Bella Heathcote and Rebecca Hall, this romantic drama takes a fascinating true story and breaks down a polyamorous relationship harder than Hollywood ever has before. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

VICEROY'S HOUSE: A who's who of period ac-

tors featuring Hugh Bonneville from “Downton Abbey,” Gillian Anderson from “The House of Mirth,” Michael Gambon from “Brideshead Revisited” and Simon Callow from “Shakespeare in Love.” This takes place in India in 1947 as Lord Mountbatten (Bonneville) is sent to New Delhi to oversee the transition from British rule to independence. Tin Pan Theater

VICTORIA AND ABDUL: A historical drama

about Abdul Karim, a young Indian clerk who travels to Britain to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, only to strike up an unlikely friendship with the queen herself. With Judi Dench playing Queen Victoria, the film is worth seeing no matter what, but let's hope the filmmakers have a deft touch when it confronts the colonialism and racism of the time.

Martial Artist SCREEN The Jackie Chan always amazes

By Jared Rasic

Christopher Raphael

the actor best known for face kicks and mugging to the camera.

Chan plays Quan, a restaurant owner who loses his daughter (years after losing his wife and two other daughters) to an Irish Republican Army bombing in London. Pierce Brosnan is Hennessy, an ex-IRA leader who’s now a local politician brokering peace treaties between the U.K. and Ireland. Quan wants to know who killed his daughter and he thinks Hennessy has the names. Nothing will make him think otherwise, no matter how much Hennessy denies any knowledge of the bombers.

It’s hard watching Chan get old, but he uses his 63-year-old face and (slightly) slowing body to make the story of Quan one that plays much harder than his usual fare. If you watch a dozen Steven Seagal movies in a row, you’ll notice he rarely ever takes any damage. A bloody nose on him would be as out of place as an exciting Chuck Norris movie (sick burn!). Chan is never afraid to get his ass kicked on camera, often losing a fight or two before his eventual triumph. Now, in the twilight of his action career, he puts in the work of not just a

Jackie in his natural environment.

stunt performer but as a character actor as well.

Chan is always believable as a grieving father hunting anyone and everyone he can find who might give him the men he’s looking for. He’s actually stronger in the film than Brosnan, who’s saddled with reacting to Chan the entire film.

“The Foreigner” is more of a political thriller than an action movie, with Jackie Chan only fighting in two or three action set pieces. It doesn’t matter, though, because he still looks amazing kicking and punching guys twice his

size, flying through the air, grabbing on to things at the last second. There’s more plot than there needs to be and the whole movie is bogged down by a soggy second act, but this is a Jackie Chan movie and we’re lucky to have it—critical thinking be damned. SW The Foreigner

Groundhog Slay

Teen horror at its dumbest and most entertaining

By Jared Rasic

M

After a brief flash of light, she wakes up in the dorm room again, cursed to relive the day of her death over and over until she can save her own life or kill her mysterious murderer. It’s basically a slasher version of “Groundhog Day,” but, you know, for kids—and apparently grown men in a movie theater filled with tweens.

The movie changes up Tree’s death day enough so the movie doesn’t become too repetitive, but the main problem is that the few plot twists in the third act are predictable and nonsensical.

As much fun as it is watching the horrible Tree get murdered over and over until she starts becoming a good person, the framework for the entire story is so shaky that Jessica Rothe’s performance ends up carrying the entire movie.

Rothe is going to be huge after this.

She’s in every frame of the movie and her “Mean Girl” is just as believable as her “Final Girl.” Tree is basically the character that dies first in a typical slasher movie; Buffy the Vampire Slayer with no helpful skillset. Watching Rothe inject humanity and warmth into a role that could have been played only on the surface is wonderful. Without

Universal

y dad and I watched “Happy Death Day” together and felt totally pervy. We were the oldest people in the theater by many decades, as most of the audience appeared to be tweens on a “date.” The cast of the movie is also mostly teenagers and all the previews were aimed at either young kids or that desirable 16 to 23 demographic.

Needless to say, we felt very out of place and assumed the movie was going to be so stupid that our faces would hurt from all the grimacing and pained expressions of mirth. By the closing credits we were completely proven right, since the movie is incredibly dumb—but also super fun for a basically bloodless teen slasher movie.

“Happy Death Day” follows a prototypical sorority mean girl named Tree (Jessica Rothe) who wakes up hung over, on her birthday, in the dorm room of a guy she doesn’t remember going home with. She goes through her day treating people like crap and basically being shallow and cruel to anyone she meets. That night, as she’s walking to another frat party, someone in a black hoodie with a creepy mask and a butcher’s knife murders her in an underpass.

This might not work out well for anyone.

her performance, this movie would be an intermittently entertaining waste of a good concept.

As fantastic as Rothe is and as cute as the romantic subplot tries to be, the story constantly lets down the cast as they all try and make something cool out of a bunch of convoluted contrivances. Slasher movies don’t necessarily need to be bastions of proper storytelling structure, but when you throw in a sci-fi concept ripped off from one of our

collective unconscious’ most beloved movies, you’d better do something memorable—at least enough to make the grown-ups in the audience feel a little bit better about themselves. SW Happy Death Day

he first Jackie Chan movie I saw was “Rumble in the Bronx.” I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen, amazed that it was possible to laugh while also being awed at the incredible stunt work and martial arts. Chan changed how I viewed action movies and retroactively made Stallone and Schwarzenegger less impressive.

Why should I be impressed with muscle-bound mumblers shooting guns when this little guy flies through the air putting his life on the line to entertain an audience?!

Chan’s work got me into Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. “Rumble in the Bronx,” “Supercop,” “Armour of God” and “Shanghai Knights” are classics, and “The Legend of Drunken Master” might arguably be the greatest martial arts movie of all time. All of this is to say that Chan is a treasure. We should have statues of him all over the country like we do with Rocky Balboa and Robocop.

It’s exciting that Chan has another high-profile film in theaters (as well as another “Rush Hour” headed our way pretty soon), but “The Foreigner” showcases an entirely different side of

And You Think You’ve Got Trouble!

Have a question about the natural world of Central Oregon?

Double trouble on four legs: the Bushy-tailed packrat.

By Jim Anderson beefsteaks and about six other good-toperfect tomatoes Sue raised.

That’s the way it went, year after year…until this year. Then something moved into our greenhouse that just loved to commit mayhem! It didn’t eat hardly anything; it just went on night after night destroying tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and our milkweed starts.

Every morning we’d go out and find another tomato plant chewed off at the surface, lovely, green and healthy pepper plant leaves lying about, and felled milkweed.

I’m usually at peace with Mother Nature (all except her big, slobbering mule deer that hop over Sue’s 7-foot fence to eat her beautiful strawberry plants…) and now this “creature” who moved into our greenhouse, bent on destroying everything.

It wasn’t mice. I tried my small Victor snap traps on them and came up with nothing. (Using peanut butter as bait, they never fail.) It wasn’t gophers; we looked for their sign in all the raised beds and not a piece of soil was moved there. By the size and shape of the droppings left behind I suspected a packrat.

Now, good people, I DO NOT like to kill anything, but I do snap/trap mice.

The Hopi People have a saying that I firmly agree with: “Never allow a mouse to live in your house, they will steal the breath of your children.” That’s one of the symptoms of the Hantavirus, and no one wants that in their house!

Besides, the dead mice are going to a good cause. Marley, the Great Horned Owl that educational bird raptor rehabber Gary Landers watches over, loves fresh-caught house mice.

Is this rat packing heat? Could be. (Photo by Jim Anderson)

The various chipmunks around my place are all harmless and have never moved into the greenhouse, so they’re left alone. The big California ground squirrel and Bushy-tailed packrats have to move on because they—like our Belding’s ground squirrel and Golden mantels—are known carriers of the bubonic plague.

My gut feeling was that we had a packrat coming into the greenhouse, but not knowing much about their preferences for food, I wasn’t too sure. However, Sue has a lot of money and TLC wrapped up in our greenhouse plants, and the infernal killing was going on every night. Sooo. ...

I put out the big Victor rat traps and started with peanut butter bait. That didn’t work so I went to baiting with organic wheat chips, then to good old Lay’s potato chips and finally to cheeses of all kinds. Nothing I set out was the right bait..until…I just happened to use a boiled leftover Brussels sprout

garnished with butter. That was it!

The beast swiped it from one of of my live traps. “Ah, ha,” says I, and moved the smaller live trap into the cupboard and placed a delicious butter-soaked ( just the way I like ‘em) Brussels sprout on top of the treadle.

“Jim!” Sue announced the next morning. “We got him!” When she brought in the live trap, there was that beautiful whisker-twitching, Bushy-tailed packrat with tomato juice on his breath.

It’s still alive as far as I know. I took it far from any structures to one of the Bureau of Land Management’s wildlife corridors and turned it loose. If it can find its way back it will take a long time, and I’’ll know who it is by the dab of red marker ink I put on his tail.

So, if you suddenly have a packrat turn up with a dab of red on its tail, boil up a few Brussels sprouts, lay some butter on ‘em and call me. I’ll loan you my live trap, and share a few of my fresh batches of Sungold tomatoes. SW

hose who try to grow their own vittles know that in Central Oregon—especially in the juniper and sagebrush country —it’s tough to grow veggies outdoors. Corn is almost impossible, fruit trees often bloom beautifully in spring, only to be frozen out on frosty nighty (like my crab apples!)

Out on Jones Road in Bend, when I lived at the old Jones House on the Hollinshead place, there was once a fruit tree farm with every fruit tree that would grow in Oregon. Mr. Jones purchased the property, once a huge turkey farm, and planted the trees. Then he waited for them to grow up, bear fruit and make him a millionaire. What he didn’t know was the area he chose, on the north side of Pilot Butte, was a micro climate that froze frequently at night all spring.

When the trees finally matured and started budding, I’m sure Mr. Jones celebrated and rubbed his hands together, waiting for apples, peaches, apricots and pears to choke on. But they didn’t; they literally froze on the vine/trees. I was told Mr. Jones committed suicide because of that horrible personal disaster.

To circumvent this common problem of springtime frost, my son Caleb built Sue and me a very beautiful greenhouse out of sandbags, lumber and greenhouse Solexx, facing the sun. For several years we’ve enjoyed tomatoes, squash, peppers and cucumbers with only the pestiferous aphids to battle. By using clever placement of blankets and a space heater, we can keep the greenhouse going into December and January most winters.

Oh, those little mouth-watering Sungold tomatoes, the huge deee-licious

Why Now Is A Great Time To Buy A Home in Bend

particularly for first time homebuyers with a tight budget.

October is reportedly the best time to snag a good deal on a home. In a September 2016 article, RealtyTrac analyzed more than 32 million home sales over a 15-year period, showing that October home purchase prices averaged 2.6 percent below estimated market value. The article suggests buyers aim for Oct. 8, when buyers reportedly get homes at an average of 10.8 percent below estimated market value. The above figures for Bend reflect this as well, since the November report tabulates closed sales, which most likely reflect October sales closing in November with a median price of $355,00, down from $385,000 for August. It will be interesting to follow the statistics and see if this same trend continues this season.

For what it’s worth, I am noticing a large number of price reductions on the MLS. At the time of writing this article, for the past 30 days, there have been 212 price reductions on Bend homes on lots of 1 acre or less.

s might be expected, there are an abundance of articles circulating in real estate publications about why autumn can be a great time to buy a home. Aside from the usual points about there being less competition as people settle for winter and the holidays and worn out home sellers wanting to unload their properties, the typical seasonal price drop is the best reason. The potential bargain savings are nothing to sneeze at if we examine last year’s price drops for autumn and winter in Bend.

An examination of home price trends for Bend single family homes on 1 acre or less for 2016 yielded some interesting price trends. According to the Beacon Report, the median price for August 2016 sales was $385,000. By September 2016, the price dropped to $370,000, increased to $374,000 for October, went down to $355,000 in November, and $371,000 in December, then $354,000 in January 2017 before jumping back up to $396,000 for February 2017 and ending at $418,000 for August 2017. As you can see, these price drops of as much as $30,000 are substantial,

My boyfriend unplugs my laptop when it’s charging and plugs the charger into his, despite knowing that I need my computer charged for work. This is actually part of a pattern — a general lack of consideration, from constantly being late to always leaving messes for me to clean up to knocking the shower door off the track and then just leaving it leaning against the tub. Recently, my dad emailed him three times without hearing back — in response to a favor he’d asked of my dad! — and I had to bug him to reply. How can I get him to be more considerate?

— Disturbed There are people who go all crazy-biscuits if you don’t immediately email them back — confusing the ability to reply nearly instantly with a mandate to do that.

Still, there’s a middle ground between frantically responding to every message and taking so long that somebody sends the cops around to peer in the windows for a body.

When you’re romantically involved with someone, it’s kind of a problem if the most reliable thing about them is their unreliability. Granted, we all fail in the follow-through department every now and then — like when my car got ticketed because the registration sticker I’d paid for remained in a pile of unopened mail that had gradually migrated under my bed.

But when somebody has a pretty pervasive pattern of carelessness — when they’re basically an entitlement-infused, corner-cutting slack-tastrophe of a person — it points to their coming up short on what psychologists call “conscientiousness.” This is one of the five core personality dimensions (along with openness, extroversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability), and it reflects a person’s level of self-control and sense of responsibility to others.

Personality researcher Brent Roberts explains that people who are “high in conscientiousness” “tend to write down important dates, comb their hair, polish their shoes, stand up straight, and scrub floors.” That last one is an unexpected plus if you have dingy grout; however, there’s such a thing as too much conscientiousness — which is cool if your “type” is a rigid, perfectionistic mini-Mussolini.

Meanwhile, on the perennially chillaxed end of the spectrum, people “low in conscientiousness” tend to break promises, cancel plans, watch more TV, oversleep, and see credit limits as credit suggestions. The

plan-canceling and promise-breaking reflect something noteworthy — self-centeredness and a lack of concern for how their behavior affects others. (Essentially, they tend to do things halfway — but only when they can’t get away with doing them a third of the way or less.)

Not surprisingly, researchers find that people’s lives work better if they keep their promises, don’t go around with yesterday’s sloppy Joe on their shirt, and get to work at an hour that does not require an explanation that opens with “you’ll never believe what happened this time!”

However, it isn’t just your own level of conscientiousness that impacts your life.

Psychologists Brittany Solomon and Joshua Jackson find that having a partner high in conscientiousness makes you likely to have higher income and job satisfaction and a better shot at getting promoted.

They suggest that Amy Alkon having a more conscientious partner makes for a more satisfying and supportive home life, allowing a person to focus more on their work.

Personality traits are, to a great extent, genetic and are largely stable because of that.

However, Roberts finds evidence that people can increase their level of conscientiousness.

This starts in the smallest ways, like making the bed and tidying the house in the morning so it looks more “lived in” than “ransacked.”

Repeated behaviors become habits, and collectively, our habits form who we are.

Of course, changing starts with wanting to change — valuing conscientiousness enough to be motivated to make it an integral part of everything one does. This sometimes happens when a person gets a tragedy-driven wake-up call. Absent that, your best chance for inspiring your boyfriend to want to live more conscientiously is by using empathy as a motivator — gently explaining to him how unloved you feel and how disrespected other people must feel in the wake of his constant sloppy disregard for anyone but himself.

If he says he wants to change, give yourself a deadline — perhaps two or three months down the road — to see whether he’s making meaningful improvement. If you decide to break up, you might want to make conscientiousness one of the “must-haves” on your “What I Need In A Man” list so your next relationship feels more like a romantic partnership than a remedial finishing school for one. Lesson 36: One should email the girlfriend’s dad back in less time than it would take to deliver the message by pony express — if you first had to get the mare and the stallion to hook up to make the pony.

ASTROLOGY

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Simon & Garfunkel released their first album in October 1964. It received only a modest amount of airplay. The two musicians were so discouraged that they stopped working together.

Then Bob Dylan’s producer Tom Wilson got permission to remix “The Sounds of Silence,” a song on the album. He added rock instruments and heavy echo to Simon & Garfunkel’s folk arrangement. When the tune was re-released in September 1965, it became a huge hit. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I suspect you’re now at a point comparable to the time just before Tom Wilson discovered the potential of “The Sounds of Silence.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Consider how hard it is to change yourself,” wrote author Jacob M. Braude, “and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.” Ninety-nine percent of the time, I’d advise you and everybody else to surrender to that counsel as if it were an absolute truth. But I think you Sagittarians will be the exception to the rule in the coming weeks.

More than usual, you’ll have the power to change yourself. And if you succeed, your self-transformations will be likely to trigger interesting changes in people around you. Here’s another useful tip, also courtesy of Jacob M. Braude: “Behave like a duck.

Keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddle like the devil underneath.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1969, two earthlings walked on the moon for the first time.

To ensure that astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed there and returned safely, about 400,000 people labored and cooperated for many years. I suspect that in the coming months, you may be drawn to a collaborative project that’s not as ambitious as NASA’s, but nevertheless fueled by a grand plan and a big scope. And according to my astrological calculations, you will have even more ability than usual to be a driving force in such a project. Your power to inspire and organize group efforts will be at a peak.

Well, Pisces. I’m here to tell you that whatever conspiracy theory you most tightly embrace is ready to be disproven once and for all. Are you willing to be relieved of your delusions?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I am my own muse,” wrote painter Frida Kahlo. “I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.”

Would you consider trying out this perspective for a while, Aries? If so, you might generate a few ticklish surprises. You may be led into mysterious areas of your psyche that had previously been off-limits.

You could discover secrets you’ve been hiding from yourself. So what would it mean to be your own muse? What exactly would you do? Here are some examples. Flirt with yourself in the mirror. Ask yourself impertinent, insouciant questions. Have imaginary conversations with the person you were three years ago and the person you’ll be in three years.

TAURUS (April 20May 20): “Happiness comes from getting what you want,” said poet Stephen Levine, whereas joy comes “from being who you really are.” According to my analysis, the coming weeks will bear a higher potential for joy than for happiness. I’m not saying you won’t get anything you want. But I do suspect that focusing on getting what you want might sap energy from the venture that’s more likely to thrive: an unprecedented awakening to the truth of who you really are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sigmund Freud was a medical doctor who laid the groundwork for psychoanalysis. Throughout the twentieth century, his radical, often outrageous ideas were a major influence on Western culture. When Freud was 50, he discovered a brilliant psychiatrist who would become his prize pupil: Carl Jung. When the two men first met in Vienna in 1907, they conversed without a break for 13 consecutive hours. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could experience a comparable immersion sometime soon: a captivating involvement with a new influence, a provocative exchange that enchants you, or a fascinating encounter that shifts your course.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the next twelve months, I hope to help you track down new pleasures and amusements that teach you more about what you want out of life. I will also be subtly reminding you that all the world’s a stage, and will advise you on how to raise your self-expression to Oscar-worthy levels. As for romance, here’s my prescription between now and October 2018: The more compassion you cultivate, the more personal love you will enjoy. If you lift your generosity to a higher octave, there’ll be another perk, too: You will be host to an enhanced flow of creative ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I predict your ambitions will burn more steadily in the coming months, and will produce more heat and light than ever before. You’ll have a clearer conception of exactly what it is you want to accomplish, as well as a growing certainty of the resources and help you’ll need to accomplish it. Hooray and hallelujah! But keep this in mind, Aquarius: As you acquire greater access to meaningful success — not just the kind of success that merely impresses other people — you’ll be required to take on more responsibility.

Can you handle that? I think you can.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are you interested in diving down to explore the mysterious and evocative depths? Would you be open to spending more time than usual cultivating peace and stillness in a sanctuary? Can you sense the rewards that will become available if you pay reverence to influences that nurture your wild soul? I hope you’ll be working on projects like these in the coming weeks, Leo. You’ll be in a phase when the single most important gift you can give yourself is to remember what you’re made of and how you got made.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What’s your top

wrote a novel entitled A Long Fatal Love Chase, which was regarded as too racy to be published until a century after her death. “In the books I read, the sinners are more interesting than the saints,” says Alcott’s heroine, Rosamund, “and in real life people are dismally dull.” I boldly predict that in the coming months, Virgo, you won’t provide evidence to support Rosamund’s views. You’ll be even more interesting than you usually are, and will also gather more than your usual quota of joy and self-worth — but without having to wake up even once with your clothes torn and your head lying in a gutter after a night of forlorn debauchery.

conspiracy theory? Does it revolve around the Illuminati, the occult group that is supposedly plotting to abolish all nations and create a world government? Or does it involve the stealthy invasion by extraterrestrials who are allegedly seizing mental control over human political leaders and influencing them to wage endless war and wreck the environment? Or is your pet conspiracy theory more personal? Maybe you secretly believe, for instance, that the difficult events you experienced in the past were so painful and debilitating that they will forever prevent you from fulfilling your fondest dream.

47 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 42 / October 19, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A woman I know, Caeli La, was thinking about relocating from Denver to Brooklyn. She journeyed across country and visited a prime neighborhood in her potential new headquarters. Here’s what she reported on her Facebook page: “In the last three days, I’ve seen three different men on separate occasions wearing sundresses. So this is definitely the right place for me.” What sort of signs and omens would tell you what you need to do to be in the right place at the right time, Libra? I urge you to be on the lookout for them in the coming weeks. Life will be conspiring to provide you with clues about where you can feel at peace, at home, and in the groove.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Louisa May Alcott

alifornia begins adult use cannabis sales on Jan.1, and is expected to become the largest market for cannabis.

I’m in San Francisco as I write this, headed to L.A. for the next column. In a state with the planet’s sixth-largest economy, covering this is going to require two columns.

So here’s how this goes: I decide to get my California medical marijuana card. Google directs me to Nugsmd. com, which has me upload a copy of my Oregon ID and some basic info, including what ails me. I pay $69 and two minutes later a doctor calls me and asks how cannabis helps me with my stress and insomnia. I’ve barely answered when he says I qualify, and 30 seconds later, my doctor’s recommendation arrives in my inbox while we are still talking.

He says San Francisco has more liberal rules, allowing those with a MMJ card in if they do not have a California ID— but says when I’m in L.A., I should use delivery services. Points for California for being faster, cheaper and more convenient.

I get recommendations for San Francisco dispensaries, although finding one isn’t exactly a problem. At one, I count off less than 50 steps before I’m at the front door of another.

My Lyft driver is 20-something, and when my vape pen falls out of my bag and rolls across the seat, he picks it up and laughs. We trade pens and take a couple hits. “Daaaaahym, man, yours is MUCH better. What IS that?” Point: Oregon.

I visit four dispensaries. The first is divided up into one room each for edibles, flower and concentrates. The flower room has bulletproof glass and a banker style window. Flower is prepackaged, and I can only buy certain strains by the gram, or by 2- to 3.5-gram parcels.

I tell the budtender what I will repeat at each stop: that I’m interested in terpenes over THC content, that I want a sativa and indica, and ask if it’s organic.

The concentrate room budtender is

both adamant in his assessment that my request for solvent "free concentrates" is “What is up, man. Solvent free is what is up.” He’s also high AF, and shows me some live resin. I say all resin I have seen is made with butane. He blinks at me several times. “Yeah, well, I mean... this stuff...it’s, like, double purged, so, like all the solvents are gone, you know? Plus it’s smells real good.” Point: Oregon, for budtender knowledge.

I check out their vapor lounge, up a flight of stairs to a loft. It’s a large sunlit room filled with couches, bistro tables a pool table and TVs on mute. Bob Marley is playing because this is a cannabis lounge in San Francisco, so of course it is. I count 26 other patrons as I smoke my free pre-roll of GSC. No one talks to me as I do, then again, “approachable” isn’t a term used to describe me.

The next dispensary has a row of booths 10 feet across the room from the counter selling cannabis. Trading my ID for a freshly sterilized volcano mouthpiece, I vape a bowl of some Durban Poison and watch others shop. Again, no one next to me chats me up. (Point: California. THIS is AWESOME.) The third dispensary has friendly budtenders with a better understanding of solvent free, and I buy some bubble hash from a farm touting their biodynamic grow methods.

The final dispensary is the best, with a fantastic selection of flower, full melt hash from legendary Frenchy Cannoli and the most knowledgeable budtender yet. They have a lighted magnifying glass at the counter, which showcases their absolute top shelf flower. It’s difficult not to buy more.

California wins with ease of access, lower taxes and dispensaries where you can consume on site. Oregon wins with stricter testing standards, better oils, and more craft cannabis. But four isn’t much of a sample, as the Bay area has 1,000+ dispensaries, or at least that’s anyone’s best guess. Regulation is a bit
