ongressional District 2 is nothing if not a vast, disparate district. Its constituents range from the ranchers of eastern Oregon, to the Valley dwellers of Medford, to the outdoor enthusiasts of Hood River and Bend. It’s a district that’s long been represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by Greg Walden (R, Hood River)—but “representative” is perhaps too loose a term for Walden’s tenure. Greg Walden, in office since 1998, has proved himself to be a partisan politician who seems to care less about truly representing his district, and more about toeing the party line and pandering to special interests. He has moved against net neutrality, against the Affordable Care Act, and in favor of reducing the Cascades-Siskiyou National Monument, to name just a few items.

While no politician—Democrat, Republican or Independent—will ever truly be able to represent all of their constituents’ disparate views, they can at least try.

In her time on the campaign trail, Jamie McLeod-Skinner has done that—traveling countless miles to meet and listen to voters in every corner of her district, and in the process, gaining the support of rural farmers, mayors and city councilors and veterans, among others. It should also be noted that the Independent Party of Oregon has endorsed her over its own candidate in this race.

What voters seem to see in McLeod-Skinner is what we also saw in her when she visited the Source offices—a dedicated professional with the experience, background and passion to bring change to this district, who shows up to listen to what voters want, and then develops well-researched policy to address it.

We cannot say the same for Walden. For example, his campaign has never responded to our requests for an endorsement interview. He has staged a single town hall meeting in Bend over the past several years—done only after enormous pressure from voters in this area. Hundreds packed that event at Mountain View High School—something that would, to a representative who aims to truly represent his district—signal that his constituents want and need to hear from him more often. Yet his more recent visits to Bend are done largely in private. “Where’s Walden?” is a common battle cry from his constituents.

Walden has become the type of career politician that voters—city dwellers and rural residents alike—complain about; that politician

who leaves for Washington, D.C., and forgets where he came from, and who he represents.

Case in point: Walden’s complicity—nay, his outright participation—in seeking to repeal the Affordable Care Act, under the President’s directive. As has been widely pointed out, residents of District 2 were insured in larger numbers than in any other district in the state due to the ACA; likewise, voters here would have stood to lose coverage more widely than any other district under its repeal. A representative committed to his constituents over his party would have acted otherwise—and in his role as chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, would have used his power there to fight for his constituents. Instead, Walden received a pat on the back from the President for his efforts. The bill he helped co-author cut out protections for pre-existing conditions—something he’d told voters he’d work to preserve. With the executive branch putting health care constantly under attack, you can be assured that if Walden is re-elected, voters will very likely see further cuts to their coverage Beyond an endorsement against Walden, McLeod-Skinner is experienced and ready to serve. She has a law degree, and has served as a city councilor on the Santa Clara, Calif., City Council and as a city manager for the city of Phoenix, Ore. She also has experience in water resource planning, having worked in Bosnia as a reconstruction and water program manager for the International Rescue Committee.

As a self-described “rural Democrat,” McLeod-Skinner takes a balanced approach to issues including gun control, supporting waiting periods before gun sales, universal background checks, and regulating bump stocks, while at the same time being in favor of limiting military assault-style weapons. She’s a strong advocate for more resources and advocacy for veterans. She supports a reversal of tariffs that threaten the ability of farmers and ranchers to run a thriving business. She’s also in favor of expanding community colleges and offering tuition breaks to graduates who work in public service. We believe her thoughtful, moderate, accessible approach to some of the most pressing issues facing the district make her a strong contender against the entrenched politician that Walden has become. Constituents in this vast district deserve an advocate who is in touch with their needs. Vote Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Congressional District 2.

GUEST OPINION Bend-La Pine Schools making progress in prevention of school shootings, but missing an important piece

By Caroline Skidmore

CORRECTIONS:

LIGHTMETER

MCLEOD-SKINNER, WALDEN AND GUNS I am a long-time member of a local shooting range who knows the difference between a .308 and a .357 as well as the importance of Second Amendment rights.

I have been impressed with Congressional Candidate Jamie McLeod Skinner. She takes a sensible and pragmatic approach to gun safety. Jamie supports waiting periods, universal background checks and only favors additional regulations of things such as bump stocks. Does a hunter really need 5.56mm NATO FMJ ammunition to shoot a deer? No, but Jamie has no problem with your double-stack 9mm.

Greg Walden, on the other hand, seems to have drunk the NRA Kool-Aid. Heads up Remington 700 owners: Do you know he voted against allowing simple negligence lawsuits against gun manufacturers for design defects? That he voted to ban scientific research by the National Science Foundation on the causes of gun violence? That he voted against background checks at gun shows? And he even voted against requiring safety locks with new gun sales?

It is time to have a member of Congress with a pragmatic approach to gun safety, not someone who cries Second Amendment at any proposal for anything related to gun safety. Such extremism only adds to the current political divisiveness.

As a gun owner I will be voting for Jamie McLeod Skinner. If you like her ideas on health care, education, jobs and the environment vote for her too. But you don’t need to worry about your Second Amendment rights.

SALLY FOR MAYOR As the nation’s fourth fastest growing city, Bend faces housing affordability and transportation infrastructure issues. We need a mayor who can successfully address these challenges. From an economist’s perspective, Sally Russell is that person.

To address housing and transportation challenges, she proposes that Bend build compact and complete neighborhoods with stores and services. This makes walking, biking, and transit to amenities and employment viable options. It reduces pressure on infrastructure development that stresses city finances. And it lessens the need for vehicle ownership among some Bendites.

Vehicle ownership expenses are most burdensome for our low-income residents who struggle with affordability. Research shows the lowest income earners spend 30 percent of income on transportation while higher earners spend 20 percent or less.

Sally advocates infill development with a variety of housing, including multi-family and middle-income homes. This generates localized densification and income diversification, which studies show encourage investment in retail and services. Such investments strengthen our local economy by creating jobs and increasing wages. Quality of life for residents improves as access to and quality of local services rise.

Bend can better serve all our residents if we elect Sally Russell as mayor. Housing availability across the full spectrum of income levels can be readily achieved. Sole reliance on expensive sprawl expansion that

depletes city funds can be avoided. And elimination of costly vehicle ownership for some Bendites who cannot afford the expense – or simply don’t want to rely on vehicle travel – can become a real option.

—Michelle Porter

AN APOLOGY Jim Anderson, this letter is an apology to you.

Several years ago, I wrote a letter that was printed in the Source Weekly in which I berated you for not taking a stronger stance on trapping. After reading your column this week about coyotes—and your activism destroying 1080 poison traps set by the US government—I realized my harsh judgement of you was wrong. Please forgive me.

Thank you for speaking and acting against the heinous, barbaric, relentless and incomprehensible persecution of predators in the United States that will haunt me until the day I die.

In our 10/18 endorsement in the Bend mayor’s race, we erroneously stated that sitting councilors running for mayor who did not win the mayor’s race would be removed from office. Should Bill Moseley or Sally Russell not win as mayor, they will fill the remainder of their term(s) as Councilor—not be removed.

If one of the two becomes mayor, the Bend City Council will vote to fill the Council vacancy by appointing someone to the council. We also stated Moseley was an “attorney.”

He has a law degree, but is not a member of the Oregon State Bar. We regret the errors.

Bend-La Pine Schools has taken swift and important action to help prevent school shootings in our district. However, it has yet to address the fact that the majority of guns used by children in school shootings come from homes in which guns are not securely stored. Clear and consistent messaging to parents about the importance of locking up firearms is a critical step to preventing a school shooting.

A report by John Woodrow Cox and Steven Rich published in the Wall Street Journal in August 2018 found that in school shootings committed by children since 1999, 80 percent of the guns used were taken from the child’s own home or that of a relative or friend. In our country, 4.6 million children are living in homes with unlocked and loaded firearms. Access to firearms by children accounts for two out of three school shootings. These shooters are students coming to school with guns. Not strangers that can potentially be stopped through upgraded and secured school entrances that validate the safety of each visitor who enters a school.

Just as Bend-La Pine Schools protects all students by asking parents to vaccinate their children and keep sick kids home, the district must also communicate to parents the importance of securely storing their firearms.

Keeping kids safe from school shootings is multi-faceted. It involves increasing school security, addressing the mental health needs of students and community members, and preventing students from accessing guns. Bend-La Pine Schools has taken commendable strides in efforts to increase school security and mental health services. However, the District has yet to address students' access to firearms.

To improve school security, the District has promoted local safety resources during summer social media campaigns, increased law enforcement presence in schools and constructed secured lobbies in many of our schools. Through the bond measure passed in 2017, the District has been able to construct entryways in 12 schools. It is projected that all schools will have secure entryways by January 2020 at a total projected cost of $12 million. The entryways are open at the start and end of each school day for students to enter and exit the school freely. During the school day, visitors must go through one entrance where they are verified to enter and buzzed into the school.

In order to address mental health services, the District has added three new school therapists and increased staff training to help school personnel identify and address emotional issues that can affect students. A multi-disciplinary Student Threat Assessment Team has been organized to identify, evaluate and address potential threats or troubling behavior by students.

In December 2017, the District launched the First Step resource app which was pushed out to all student iPads in grades 6-12.

The District should be commended on improving school security and access to mental health services for students. However, they have yet to address a crucial element; students’ access to guns in homes. One might argue that it’s not the school’s place to tell parents what to do in their own homes, but when it comes to the safety of all students, the District is obligated to address students' access to firearms.

By actively messaging the importance of securely storing guns and sharing the data supported correlation between easy access to guns in homes and an increased rate of gun deaths, parents can understand the safety risk that unsecured firearms pose for our students. More than 90 percent of school shootings are committed by current students. A clear and frequent messaging campaign directed at parents of Bend-La Pine students is a crucial element that needs to be implemented by our school district in order to prevent a school shooting.

Trick or Treat?

Separating the fact from fiction in Halloween legends

By Chris Miller

M

any of us grew up with urban legends surrounding Halloween, from spooky houses that you weren’t supposed to go near, to sharp objects and even poison in candy.

But are those yet another case of “fake news?” We wanted to find out.

Razor blades in candied apples Author Jack Santino notes in his history of Halloween on Snopes.com that “pins and needles” rumors began to supplant “poisoned candy” rumors in the mid-1960s. Nearly all rumors proved to be hoaxes.

Beginning in 1967, the focus shifted from poison to razors and sharp objects hidden in apples. The emergence of the razor blade legend apparently spread rapidly from several areas on the eastern seaboard. In 1968, outrage was strong enough in New Jersey that the state legislature passed a law shortly before Halloween, mandating prison terms for those caught booby-trapping apples.

According to a report titled “The Razor Blade in the Apple: The Social Construction of Urban Legends,” written in 1985 by Joel Best and Gerald T. Horiuchi, between 1958 to 1971, more than 75 percent of reported cases of objects in apples involved no injuries.

Detailed follow-ups in 1972 and 1982 concluded that nearly all the reports were hoaxes concocted by the children or parents.

According to Snopes, Best, a professor of sociology at California State University, Fresno, reported that he was able to track about 80 cases of sharp objects in food incidents since 1959, and almost all were found to be hoaxes.

However, in Minneapolis in 2000, 49-year-old James Joseph Smith was charged with one count of adulterating a substance with intent to cause death, harm or illness after it was determined he put needles in Snickers bars and handed them out to kids on Halloween, according to Snopes. The article said a 14-year-old boy got pricked by a needle hidden in a bar he’d bitten into, but didn’t require medical attention.

Poisoned candy The most famous case of Halloween candy poisoning was the 1974 murder of 8-year-old Timothy Marc O’Bryan at the hands of his father, Ronald Clark

O’Bryan, in Houston, Texas, according to Snopes.com. The child died at 10pm on Halloween, as a result of eating cyanide-laced Pixie Stix acquired while trick or treating.

To make his act appear more like the work of a random madman, O’Bryan also gave poisoned Pixie Stix to his daughter and three other children, the story states. None of the other children ate the candy.

The prosecution proved O’Bryan purchased cyanide and had (along with a neighbor) accompanied the group of children on their door-to-door mission.

None of the places visited that night were giving out Pixie Stix. Young Mark’s life was insured for a large sum of money, and collecting on this policy has always been pointed to as the motive behind this murder.

Though the case was based on circumstantial evidence—no one saw the father poison the candy or slip the Pixie Stix into the boy’s bag—Ronald O’Bryan was convicted of the murder in May 1975. He received the death sentence and was executed by lethal injection on March 31, 1984.

The following is an excerpt from a Los Angeles Times interview with Best, who’s been working on debunking the tampering myth for over 30 years: “We checked major newspapers from throughout the country from 1958 through 1988,” he said, “assuming that any story this horrible would certainly be well reported.”

The research team found a total of 78 cases and two deaths. [The two deaths Best was referring to were the O’Bryan murder and the accidental poisoning of Kevin Toston.] Further checking proved that almost all of the 78 cases were pranks. The deaths were tragically real, but they, too, were misrepresented in the beginning.

The pranks, he said, involved kids—after years of hearing similar stories—inserting needles or razor blades into fruit, not realizing (or maybe realizing) how much they frightened their whole town.

“My favorite,” Best says, “was the kid who brought a half-eaten candy bar to his parents and said, ‘I think there’s ant poison on this.’ They had it checked and, sure enough, there was ant poison on it—significantly, on the end he had not bitten.” Of course, the youngster had applied the poison himself.

Curbside Composting?

Knott Landfill is nearing capacity. Can removing food waste give it a longer lease on life?

By Chris Miller of garbage. With the County's estimated population of 181,000, that’s about 2,700 pounds of garbage per person, per year. Of the 240,000 tons of garbage, the landfill recycled 45,000 tons of materials like cardboard and plastic, and 35,000 tons of yard debris, wood and food waste. The balance of 180,000 tons was added to the solid waste storage cells in the landfill.

The Options In 2018, the County created the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, comprised of county residents, garbage collection employees, county solid waste staff, consultants and city and county government officials tasked with drafting a Solid Waste Management Plan.

Part of the plan incorporates new state regulations requiring each county to reduce waste disposal in landfills.

Deschutes County’s current recovery rate—the portion of waste not headed to the landfill—is 33 percent. The new goal is to recover 45 percent by the year 2025.

One of the committee’s final draft recommendations, made in July, was to expand the current yard and food waste collection program and consider universal service—meaning the services offered by the cities and the County should be the same. In Bend, yard debris collection is a subscription-only service that costs about $5 a month. During the July 24 SWAC meeting, Commissioner Phil Henderson said he wasn’t comfortable with requiring everyone to subscribe and pay for certain services, particularly related to yard waste and food waste.

Educating tourists San Francisco, like Bend, sees its share of tourists. The city of San Francisco tackled the issue of educating non-residents on sorting waste by putting pictures on public bins, showing what goes in each container. The city creates over 2,300 tons of garbage per day, according to the azcentral.com story. Of that, about 650 tons per day is compost and 625 tons are recyclables, making the city one of the only cities in the U.S. where curbside composting has surpassed recycling.

During the Sept. 11 Deschutes County Commissioners Debate hosted by the Bend Chamber of Commerce, County Commission candidate Amy Lowes suggested Bend could try the route taken by other cities when it comes to increasing compost collection.

Phil Martin, who runs Phil Martin & Associates—a California-based environmental consultant firm—sent information to county commissioners this summer about a composting company he’s been working with for years, called Renewable Carbon Management, which produces modified shipping containers that can compost food without creating odors typically associated with composting. Martin said much of the typical municipal solid waste material can be used as feedstock.

However, the costs are something to consider. Martin said Jim McNelly, who started RCM, said a 10 ton per day system would run about $800,000 and a 300 ton a day system would be about $7.5 million. Martin estimated Bend’s needs would cost about $3 to $4 million, but once the system is capitalized and paid for, the operating cost would be less than $20 per ton.

“It is my opinion the containerized composting system that I have presented to the County could solve some of the County’s capacity concern by removing recyclable materials for composting and provide the County a long-term source of revenue,” Martin said.

“COPA is the only place I’d take my grandbabies.”

K

nott Landfill—the only landfill in Deschutes County—is getting stuffed full. County officials estimate that if the current levels of garbage continue, it has a life expectancy of 12 more years.

Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone said the County’s not looking for another landfill location yet, and the Solid Waste Advisory Committee is looking at the options for waste in Deschutes County, including burning or shipping it to other large landfills in the state.

“The committee has been asked not to discuss the siting of a new landfill in the county yet,” DeBone said. “If the recommendation is to find a new landfill in the county, then we will start another public process and include anyone who has an opinion.”

But Timm Schimke, the director of Deschutes County Solid waste, said the County is, at least, already looking at a variety of disposal options to replace Knott Landfill—including the possibility of a new landfill in the county, shipping waste to an existing landfill and various conversion technologies to capture energy from waste.

“We expect to have a solid waste management plan ready after the first of the next year,” Schimke said.

Statewide, 26 percent of solid waste collected is wasted food that comes from restaurants, homes and food-based manufacturing, according to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

In 2016, according to information from the Deschutes County Solid Waste Management Plan, households and businesses in the County generated 240,000 tons

Current acceptable items allowed in yard waste bins include grass clippings, brush, weeds, pine needles, plant prunings, branches less than 2 inches around and 3 feet long, raw fruit and vegetable scraps—like apple cores, banana peels and potato skins—coffee grounds and tea bags.

“We are working to expand food collection as well as increasing diversion of other recyclables, such as construction debris,” Schimke said. “We are looking at what other communities across the country are doing as we consider changes to our system. While we have looked at a number of methods to divert more waste from the landfill to prolong its life, the expense is an issue.”

Cities including Portland, San Francisco and Minneapolis already recycle food waste more extensively. In San Francisco, for example, people can place meat (including bones), greasy food containers, dairy, cotton balls and pet hair into compostable bags taken away curbside. In Minneapolis, people can add pizza boxes, soiled papers and cheese into compost bins.

In 2009, San Francisco’s Board of Commissioners passed an ordinance requiring everyone to separate waste into one of three bins: recycling, landfill and compost. After implementing the ordinance, San Francisco has the highest landfill diversion rate nationally, at 80 percent, according to azcentral.com.

In 2012, the year after Portland implemented its curbside composting program, the city had eliminated 40 percent of its residential garbage, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. Portland’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability said food scraps cost the city 43 percent less per ton to haul away than mixed garbage. Portland also reduced costs by switching from weekly garbage pickup to every other week—requiring customers to pay extra if they wanted weekly service.

Local youth weigh in on gun violence, in schools and in the wider community

Just this week, two incidents involving firearms happened right here in Bend. One incident left two men dead. While neither involved local schools, they serve as reminders that firearms pose a constant threat of violence when left in the wrong hands.

An invitation to Student Voices: A panel on gun safety in schools

In light of the multitude of attacks at schools nationwide, students and teachers live with the ongoing question: Will my school be next?

The March for Our Lives event that happened on March 24 was by all accounts a success, but even while I was recruiting speakers and organizing sponsors for the march, I kept wondering how we could keep the momentum going. It’s easy to show up to marches and be swept along with the powerful and giddy energy that surrounds everyone like a blanket. The problems occur when the people who show up to protests fail to show up to the polls. In my opinion, voting tends to be more effective than organizing in a park. It’s easy for politicians to ignore a protes; it's much more difficult to disregard the votes of the people they are representing. With midterms coming up in November, it’s important to be educated on the views of candidates and then go out and make your voice heard. If you want to see positive action toward gun safety, you have to be the one to go get it.

America’s Gun Violence Problem Needs a Measured Approach

BY WILLIAM ANDERSON

In the wake of tragedies like the Parkland and Las Vegas shootings, the cacophony defining the gun violence debate rages on.

With former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens calling for young activists to repeal the Second Amendment and the National Rifle Association advocating arming teachers, the fissures in what would seem like universal issue grow. Reaching any lasting resolution will require a brand of bipartisanism few practice.

Organizations like Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America stand out amid the partisan squabbles for their much-needed moderation.

The organization does not aim to enact the sweeping change that each side finds so alarming. Instead, Moms Demand Action works to transcend party lines in the fight for gun reform.

“Our members are Democrats and Republicans and pro-Second Amendment rights but [the issue] has become partisan,” said Ruth Herbert, the legislative co-lead of Moms Demand Action. “I don’t think it needs to be.”

The organization finds a middle ground by invoking a lost art: accounting for public opinion and suggesting changes that are well within its scope. Take, for example, comprehensive background checks.

“Over 90 percent of Americans believe in comprehensive background checks,” said Zandra Brant, the other legislative co-lead of the organization.

“That would include not just buying a gun from an authorized gun seller but through online or at gun shows. The United States doesn’t have it, but many states do. We passed it 3 years ago in Oregon.”

In a survey of 35 students, most respondents confirmed Moms Demand Action’s measured approach.

57 percent said they would support more regulations on firearms, though the more extreme measures were unfavorable, 55 percent would not support a repeal of the Second Amendment and 61 percent did not support the work the NRA was doing.

In the United States, the prevalence of gun culture proves a unique barrier to resolving the

problem. Around 400 million guns are in circulation, according to the Small Arms Survey, a project of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, and stigma surrounding governmental regulation of arms predates the Revolutionary War. For advocates of gun rights like Josiah Underwood, an employee at Radian Weapons in Redmond, Ore., action by the federal government simply isn’t appealing.

“I don’t know that you legislate your way out of violence,” said Underwood. “Of course, you could probably ban the use of firearms exclusively and that would probably reduce gun violence-related deaths but then you would be depriving hundreds of people of their rights to protect themselves.”

Moms Demand Action is not looking for the repeal of the Second Amendment, they advocate for smaller changes. One of the misconceptions they consider hindering to their advocacy is the belief that reformists want a universal ban on guns.

“There’s a lot of fear around people trying to confiscate everybody’s guns which is not what we advocate for at all and that legal gun ownership is not going to go away in this country,” said Herbert.

“We just want people to be safe with them to protect children and to protect our families from violence.”

Their marked approach includes not just pushing policies that are well received but looking for candidates that are sympathetic to the plight of gun owners as well as advocated for change. Locally, they support Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Oregon’s Second Congressional District.

“I know that McLeod-Skinner is very much in favor of gun violence prevention even if she is a rural Democrat,” said Brant. “Nevertheless, her experience living in rural Oregon has made her understand the need some feel for possessing guns, like those in areas where the closest sheriff’s office might be half an hour away.”

The advocacy that Moms Demand Action should serve as an example of the change needed in America. Through measured progress, they seek out a functional solution people can agree on.

Shots Fired

BY QUINLAN CROWE

STUDENT AT SISTERS HIGH SCHOOL Shot down by our own Shot down by the young and the old Shot down by the sad, mad, and confused Shot down by those who don’t know how to, or want to express anger, frustration or sadness in another way Shot down by the lost Countless days spent mourning Countless days “We will always remember” Countless lives lost Countless sacrifices made Countless lives changed forever Countless days spent wondering “What if?”, “When?”, and “How?” Will we really remember all the lives lost?

Will we really remember all the dates to mourn?

Will we really remember all the places of tragedy?

Will we really remember all that has gone down?

Will we really change?

STUDENT AT SISTERS HIGH SCHOOL Close casket Ashes Stone Inside walls of funeral homes Where the tally never gets seen For mutilation encases the nation And the very ground it’s built on.

The reaper uses a revolving door The flow never stopping And it comes to the lives of the youth Their own numbers ever dropping.

Safe space becomes the common place For ricochet and fire.

Clear bags and checkpoints stand like sore thumbs pointing back.

A hitchhiker in dystopia Always looking back.

To before terror was amok And prior the fall in Columbine.

When “America was Great” But death be not proud

Gone

BY CYDNIE DAY

SOPHOMORE AT REDMOND HIGH SCHOOL huddled next to my fearful classmates with no other protection from the cold silver bullets than a wooden door. I fear that the shooter breaches our wall of protection, taking away the only hope we had for survival, and the feeling of a bullet piercing my skin.

Day 2 I think of how my family would feel. My mother and father would weep at the loss of their little girl, gone too soon. My brother would be filled with regret at the fact that he was rarely ever with me at Christmas or on my birthdays. My sister would get high and forget I ever existed. My Papa’s heart would stop beating. My grandma would mourn the deaths of a grandchild and a husband.

I think if I had managed to survive. The guilt I’d feel standing by my deceased friend’s casket and the fact that I lived and they died. That guilt only being exploded into pure shame when I see the sobbing faces of their families. As I lay a white rose on the glossy wooden lid of the cruel chamber of death,

Untitled Essay

BY ISAAC CRUZ

STUDENT AT BEND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL I’m only a teenager, so I’m definitely not someone who claims to have all the answers and anyone who does is simply lying. However, I am someone who has common sense, the type of common sense that comes from being afraid to come to school, that comes from hearing about kids in your school being apprehended for planning a shooting. The common sense I have is that more guns in a school and in the hands of dangerous people is simply an insane solution.

Last year I researched, and asked teachers if they even wanted to carry a firearm in school or that more would help. The general consensus was that having more guns to counteract gun violence does not make sense, and that our school systems, and our government need to invest more in mental health initiatives rather than “hardened” schools and communities.

I’m not an adult and don’t have the same views as one on this subject so I can only speak from the standpoint of a teen. And when most of us hear gun control we think one of two things: “I don’t wanna

be shot while trying to learn algebra!” or “You can’t take my guns!” There is a way to have common ground on this subject; the simple fact is whether you’re protecting yourself or hunting, you don’t need a gun that could clear a room in five seconds.

This country needs meaningful, and common sense reform to our current gun laws. Laws that help a teenager like myself feel safe, and laws that still preserve the right to bear arms. I do believe you should be able to bear arms, just not weapons powerful enough for military use. People want to believe that this is taking away their rights that any minor altering of the Second Amendment is un-American.

What is un-American is seeing children die in the halls of a school, watching their mothers weep on television, and still not being open to changing it.

I’m generally not a fearful person, and a year ago getting shot next to a white board was a scenario that never played out in my head. These days, however, it’s a very common fear. You get this uneasy feeling in an empty hallway between shiny metal

lockers hearing nothing, but slight teaching behind classroom doors. It’s a feeling that makes me ask, “When will the silence be broken? Not by the sounds of classroom doors opening, and kids stomping down the hallway, but by the sound of a storm, a hail of metal flying through the air, muffled screams desperately fighting back against the unrelenting fire, and then would it go silent again? Along with me?”

It’s getting harder to avoid that question, one that many students have found themselves asking, “When will it be my school?” I suppose the answer to that question is not important. It’s like asking what you won before you see the lottery numbers.

We won’t know who gets hit til it happens; all we can know for sure is that some school will be picked and lives will be lost. Maybe not your kid’s school, maybe not your kid’s friend, and maybe not your town, but every person holding a textbook or pointing at a whiteboard is in danger. Now I’m a teenager, not a senator or a congressman, but by god I hope someone reading this is. Me and my fellow students have cried for change, screamed for the right to feel safe in the four walls we sit in every day. Be an American and instead of protecting your “rights” to have a person destroy, hear our screams, and protect your children’s and family’s lives.

One of the most horrific situations I can think of is when a place you feel most comfortable becomes the very source of all your fear and anxiety.

School, already stressful with high expectations from teachers and endless amount of work, includes a whole new stressor—the reality that at any moment your school could be the subject of horrific violence.

The screen shines on my pale face as I watch the news in front of me. The story is about a school where a man shot children with no remorse, horrifying, really. I tasted pure fear and disdain in my mouth as I watched the middle-aged man talk about the event. It makes me think about how I truly feel walking into school every day.

I pretend I don’t feel a small sense of dread each time.

I fear that maybe one day I’ll hear the gunshots ring throughout the halls. I feel that maybe one day I’ll see my classmates, my friends, dead on the cold tile floors. I fear of sitting in a dark classroom

I cry. I cry for not only this life that was lost but the countless others.

And if I didn’t survive.

“Here lies a soul that left this earth far too soon.”

That’s what my gravestone would say. I’d lie cold in a fancy wooden box as my family and friends stood around and mourned my young lost soul. My father would say my eulogy. He’d say how determined and full of hopes and dreams I was, how I could make a whole room laugh with one quick phrase. He’d say how I was gonna change things, no matter how small. I’d get buried under heavy dirt next to people who had fallen before me.

School used to be my safe place, but no matter how much I try to convince myself, that safety is gone. We’re all too busy fighting over what the best solution is when things are only getting worse.

These events really put into perspective how in one moment your whole existence can change.

As a student you learn to live with the fear, you push it to the back of your mind and tell yourself that that’ll never happen to you. The truth is, it could happen to anyone. It really shows you how much we fight over things. Even when that solution someone is fighting against could be the difference between life and death.

Gun Violence

BY ELLA BAKKER

JUNIOR AT BEND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 25, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

12

Since the beginning of high school, I’ve become particularly interested in politics. Topics I’m most interested in include women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights and health care. When the opportunity to share my opinions with the community arose, I was very interested. One of the topics I am most fascinated by is gun control. Gun control is a divisive, complicated issue that has affected many people.

I am 16 and not yet able to vote, so I find that it’s important to be involved with the community while inspiring change in any way I can. Although I would be quite content if guns only existed in the hands of qualified, racially unbiased law enforcement and other individuals on behalf of our nation’s defense. I know that this is not possible, both in the current political climate, and given our constitutional rights.

The Second Amendment protects the right of any American citizen to bear arms and to protect themselves against any form of danger, including to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. Currently, many Americans feel safer in their homes with a gun; in this case acting as a form of defense in reaction to a potential intruder or threat. I don’t believe this right should be taken from anyone. Unfortunately, in reality, this right is abused and has caused great tragedy. I don’t have to remind you of the school shootings we seem to watch pass on a near monthly basis, or individual inner city shootings caused by guns put in

the wrong hands. If you are a parent, the fear of a school shooting has probably crossed your mind, or even caused you anxiety.

If you’re a high school student, like me, you’ve probably also experienced this fear. In my hometown, Chicago, Illinois (sometimes known as Chiraq), there exists some of the highest levels of gun violence in the country. The fact that this fear and these threats are completely preventable is, frankly, depressing and unacceptable. As a community, as a society—we must come together and make a bipartisan decision to create stricter gun laws. In conversations I’ve had with classmates who are anti-gun control, I find that we actually have several beliefs in common.

In the end, we want maximum benefits to all while preserving the basic rights that all persons are entitled to. In my mind, strict regulation should include thorough background checks. Mental health status, criminal history, and household information (for example, the presence of minors would entail ensuring a safe locked position for the weapon).

Looking beyond all these issues and the division they create, what is most important is that we include and respect the opinions of all people—politicians, citizens, and even teenagers like myself.

We need to find empathy and respect within ourselves in order to generate positive change. In the undying words of Mahatma Ghandi, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

The Weapons In Our Minds

BY KYLIE MARIE LANUZA SUMMIT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

Taking away a knife will not stop me from cutting.

That is something my mother does not understand. When depression leads you down the road of self harm, the act of bleeding and the drip of scarlet blood becomes necessary. By taking my knives I do not feel the need to be any less, I will only take scissors to do such, and when those have disappeared from the drawers and cups, I will still find a way, removing a thumb tack that holds up beautiful artwork in pastel colors and bold lines, and I will draw my own lines of red from my flesh.

Just because you take away what you think is wrong doesn't mean it's gone. We as people wish to look at the outside, finding flaws in that around us and not seeing the flaws we ourselves hold. We cannot blame the knife for the cut, we must blame the mind for the poison that brought us to this.

Same goes for gun violence, I am not in any way saying that guns are okay. I'm simply saying maybe that a gun itself is not the only issue that causes these horrific occurrences such as that of the many nationwide school shootings. Taking away guns as a whole is not the solution, we will only find other ways. I'm saying that it's our mental state that drives people to this. If I were to ask if you have ever kicked to the dirt and felt worthless, I'm positive you would respond with absolutely. We are constantly ridiculed and cast out by others; unwanted and unloved, we sink deeper into our own mind,

finding out what's darkest about ourselves. And we begin to become less and less sane, losing our minds, we lash out. We look to punish others for how we feel. And at the end of the day how can we trust ourselves with a lethal weapon, if this is how we are?

How do we fix this? How do we stop these people from drowning in their own sorrows and the hate that people spread? We need to stop looking into the barrel of a gun and telling ourselves this is the only problem, we need to dig into our hearts and our minds and change from within. We need to go into our school armed and loaded with knowledge and care, ready to help children to cope with the seemingly impossible juggling act of school, home, social lives, and just life itself. We need to give them tools to fight off depression and anxiety.

We need to throw them a life raft in the overflowing sea of emotions, we cannot let more kids drown.

As of right now we have a school counselor ratio of 1 to about 500 to 800 students. There is not enough time in the day to speak to each child and get to know them as an individual. We sign useless pieces of paper with our names hoping to get even a second to speak with our counselors. Signing up day after day to eventually realize we will never get the help we need. As if we don't matter enough to be heard. So we sew our mouths shut because we already know we have no voice.

One Hundred Eighty Days

BY BRENDEN LUNA

SOPHOMORE AT REDMOND HIGH SCHOOL One hundred eighty days of classrooms we call hell One hundred eighty days of classrooms that went well And only one day is the day we all fell But what does the system care about how that kid felt Lost inside emotion and lost inside of their mind Some kids got so messed up they lost themselves inside We don’t ever see it ‘til the problem's too great Kid shows up to school with guns it’s too late People think they can stop with just a lil’ change But people won’t stop it they all still spreading hate But maybe it’s humanity that is the instigator But maybe it’s the leaders screaming, “Be a damn believer” But how am I supposed to listen to someone who can’t perceive us When they’re training us to grow up for when everybody leaves us But let’s get right to it, let’s talk about the violence People fight in the halls but nobody really likes it Every single kid thinks they’re more than the crimes but Keep going ‘til the law comes and they’re out of time Violence in the system is something that needs to leave But that problem ain’t leaving if all we’re asking is please Yelling at the problem won’t crash it in steam And yelling at that child won’t make 'em come clean He’s gonna keep lurking, a predator who’s searching For the next person to say something and then learn it Consequences for actions and words that we speak Say the wrong thing and a kid’s wrists start to bleed This isn’t a joke, don’t understand why you’re laughing Bullies more like clowns these days but it’s still happening Saying “I'm big and you’re small’ but when I hit you where it hurts the bigger they are the harder you fall I won’t stop and say anything while it’s going on Because we waited and waited till we were waiting too long Now it’s out of hand because of bad dads and moms Who couldn’t teach their kids between the rights and the wrongs Taking away the guns won’t stop the corruption I’ve seen plenty kids throw hands up for nothing Just somebody messin’ with the wrong kid stuntin’ A different type of violence is what we get from our teachers Apparently they care but just shout and won’t believe us I can say the same thing to two different staff One gave me detention while the other one just laughed Because there is no specific way that they have to fall in line But the students walk in rows down the hallways through the lies I’ve been living in this system since about the age of five I can’t make you understand but I can help you to see If we all were treated right these kids would never bleed So don’t forget the lesson that your boy has just spoken Next time you mess with someone realize what you’ve awoken.

The Victim’s Perspective

BY LOGAN MORLEY

SENIOR AT REDMOND HIGH SCHOOL Middle school started, hoping everything changed, Everything changed, but not in the right way.

The people didn’t change, the bullying changed, They did it every day There’s social media today.

The next day of school, the day has come, The day has come, for people to run.

I knew what I was doing was flagrant.

That didn’t stop me, my mind was set, That now this day, I was the threat.

When I was a kid, I would dream.

I would dream that one day I would be, A star, a hope, a role model to some, But here I am holding a gun.

The bullying never stopped, the school never helped, The school never helped me save myself.

So there I lie in a depressed state, Wishing this was over, It would never be over.

I walked the hallways I once thought were safe, I once thought were safe, I had a clean slate.

But now I walk with the thought of fear.

I broke into the class the bullies were in, When I entered, their heads started to spin.

I took one look, and instantly I knew, I knew what I had to do.

I pulled out the gun, and started my cause, What they were thinking, there was no telling, But the noise they were making, was all of that yelling.

If you could ask anyone they would say, They would say how happy I was.

How I was energetic, how I was kind, But that was elementary school, When I first started getting ridiculed I talked to my parents, My parents did nothing.

Said they were kids, they will learn someday.

That day never came, I was never saved.

My parents never saw this, no one ever cared, No one ever cared, so why would I try, if no one else dared.

Middle school is over, hopefully it would be better, Once I can start new in high school, I could possibly be cool.

First day of high school, off to a good start, Off to a good start, maybe the kids had a change of heart.

I can finally surpass what the kids were.

My classes are great, my friends are amazing, I feel like I am always stargazing.

The dreams in my eyes, the one I will achieve, The one I will achieve to obtain victory.

But for some reason, the past repeats itself.

The bullies found me, I wanted to cry, And all of my hope just went goodbye.

My depression enhanced, I thought I was done, I thought I was done, until I spotted my gun.

The idea came to me in a flash.

I was done being bullied, I wanted a try, Those bullies will suffer, and soon they will die.

The screams are no more, there’s peace in the room, There’s peace in the room, that’s what I assumed.

I would no longer get bullied, I was free.

I turned around, and couldn’t believe my eyes, That those students just died.

The police came soon, I was the criminal, I was the criminal, and there was nothing I could do.

I could tell you this much, I knew I’ve done wrong.

But at least I’m at ease, With all of this peace.

At this point, only times could tell, Only time could tell if I’m going to hell.

Now here I am, lying in prison.

I’m dreaming of what it would be like, If I was a star, a hope, a role model alike.

Death by Numbers

BY ISA MEREL

STUDENT AT BEND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL One year until my life changes, For better or worse I do not know.

One year until responsibility, I’m still unsure if I’m ready to go.

Eight, the age I began the third grade.

My favorite year of school, by every account.

Eight friends made me the happiest I’ve ever been, Fear, of any magnitude, could never put it out.

Fifteen seconds go by, 150 bullets are fired.

A race so advanced in technology, yet we can’t see the issue.

AR-15 it is called, the murder weapon behind problems That won’t be solved by another box of tissues.

Two years old and already talking, My parents must have been so proud.

Two years old and I don’t remember anything Those memories must not speak so loud.

Nine years of my life I’ve spent playing soccer, Some of my fondest memories made by this sport.

Nine of my closest friends could be in the room with me When each of our barely-lived lives are cut short.

Sixteen, last year, when I was given another treat.

The ability to drive my own car, my own boat.

Sixteen years on this earth and I’m given the right To put people’s lives in danger, yet I can’t even vote.

Three years ago, I started high school, A mostly decent, but sometimes scary place.

Three years of endless school-induced stress, Led by people that seem to be in an arms race.

Ten years it took me to learn how to manage My curly, unruly, blonde, frizzy hair.

Ten deaths per 100,000 U.S. citizens could be saved, But not by “thoughts and prayers.”

Seventeen lives were lost a day meant to celebrate love.

Lost, to heaven, to God, at the barrel of a gun.

Seventeen lives were taken from their parents, All of them my age-- shot-- bullet after bullet, one by one.

Four years of my life will be spent in here, Nineteen-hundred students shoving past me every day.

Four of them will become my closest friends, To the rest I may just seem like helpless prey.

Eleven weeks until I take another test One that will decide my future forever.

Eleven points of difference can tell me If I’m truly intelligent, or just kinda clever.

Five fingers on each of my calloused hands, Three of which I use to write poems and plays.

Five years old and hearing my mother’s voice read: “I’ll love you forever, I’ll love you for always.”

Twelve years old and watching the Sandy Hook news, Terrified out of my mind of the horror I saw on TV. Twelve days before Christmas, Unwrapped presents those children would never get to see.

Six is my little brother’s favorite number, He teaches me about it as if I understand.

Six is how many years older I am than he, I hope I’m always there to hold his hand.

Thirteen, my first year as a teenager, I thought I had my whole life planned out...

Thirteen colonies fighting for independence needed guns, But a now-developed nation should at least show some doubt.

Seven days a week, I think about school, About homework, about drama, about classmates.

Seven days go by painfully, Wondering what kind of gun will decide our fates.

Fourteen, the age I started a new chapter of my life, A new country, a new language, a new school.

Fourteen days; two weeks later and I still don’t know What could compel someone to be so cruel.

His Truth

Lyrics Born gets personal on his 10th studio album

yrics Born has earned several “first” titles over the years. He takes the title of first Asian-American solo rapper to release a greatest hits record and perform at major festivals including Coachella and Lollapalooza. Now, he also stands as the first Asian-American solo rapper to release a 10th album.

This milestone comes as a great and rare achievement for any hardworking artist and he made sure to go big on “Quite a Life.” Lyrics Born, the stage name for Tsutomu “Tom” Shimura, takes on heavier personal and social themes on the new album, while still bringing the funk-influenced hip-hop.

“It’s my 10th album and ‘if not now, then when?’ was how I felt about it,” Shimura says of taking on more serious themes. “It’s a very historic moment for me as an artist, so few artists hit that 10-album mark, it’s not something to take for granted. To be able to hit that milestone as an artist is huge. I’m also sort of at the point where I just don’t care anymore. I want people to understand my truth.”

From calling out society for not making room for Asian-Americans, to his wife’s battle with cancer, to funky “Chocolate Cake,” Lyrics Born gives listeners a peek into his truth and the life he’s living. “Quite the Life” features a version of the James Brown classic, “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” turning it upside down and updating it for the present. His version, “This is a Man’s World?” incorporates new lyrics that bring the message of the song into 2018.

“You know what’s funny is that I’ve been singing it for years,” Shimura says of “This is a Man’s World?” “It

Halloween Bonus Questions!

In honor of the spookiest day of the year, we asked both musicians we interviewed this week for a few of their Halloween favorites.

Favorite Halloween costume you’ve ever worn?

Schneider from “One Day at a Time” Lyrics Born takes on more personal themes on his 10th album, but at Worthy Brewing’s Dance of the Dead on 10/26, it’ll definitely be a party.

was always the show stopper. The third verse, I always reserve to talk about the topics du jour. When I started singing it, I would get booed at my own shows.

I knew how I was going to resolve the song, so I powered through it. When people saw how I changed it, so far, it’s always gotten a great response.”

Shimura, a huge James Brown fan, loves the original, but as an artist was grateful for the opportunity to flip it and update it.

“There’s this other layer that you add to its greatness when you can see where it started and where we were and then see where I was able to take it and where we are now. It’s just interesting to be about to see that transformation.”

“Quite a Life” also delves deep into Shimura’s personal life. “Can’t Lose My Joy” takes his wife’s battle with cancer and has become an extremely relatable song for his audience. Throughout the course of his 25-year career, he admits that the reaction to “Can’t Lose My Joy” has been the most powerful.

“I’ve had people running up to me in the streets and hugging me in tears,” Shimura says. “I knew what we were going through was very real for us and the assumption that I made was knowing how many people live with cancer or live with someone who has cancer, I knew it would hit a chord with people, but I didn’t realize it would be like this.

It’s just been a tidal wave of response.”

In an industry where measurements of success come in terms of the number of albums sold, songs streamed and concert tickets sold, Shimura can track his success by the number of songs that brought people to tears. People confess to Shimura that his music has helped them when they’re on the brink of suicide, ahead of a job interview or when they were considering dropping out of school.

“I think maybe prior to that point, I was just writing the songs and it was my job, but you really start to see the effect of what you do. I really believe our jobs as artists is to help people.”

Lyrics Born performs at Worthy

Favorite scary movie?

"Blair Witch Project" Favorite Halloween/horror song?

“Thriller” — Michael Jackson Favorite piece of Halloween candy?

“As long as it’s not fresh fruit, we hated those houses, we always threw those back,” Shimura says. “Either Reese Peanut Butter Cups or Twix, but the best Halloween candy was the people that just said ‘I don’t want to deal with you kids,’ and left the whole bowl. Second to that were the people that gave out full-sized candy bars.”

Brewing’s Dance of the Dead. While his new album includes incredible, personal songs that may tug at your heartstrings, expect it to be a party.

BIG TOBACCO NO LONGER MARKETS ON TELEVISION

This photo was taken in Oregon. It’s not unique. In fact, more than 1 in 3 retailers that sell tobacco have tobacco products and advertising at a child’s eye level or next to items kids find appealing, like candy and toys.

And when you think about how many convenience stores are in Oregon, that’s a lot of opportunity to expose our kids to tobacco.

Brought to you by Top Shelf Medicine: Because They Need It “You may have heard about a terrible truck accident on China Hat Road June 8th, 2018.

Seven local kids were injured, my daughter Zoey was one of them. She suffered a severely lacerated face, a broken nose, broken feet, and a crushed vertebra. Zoey spent several days in ICU and 14 days total in the hospital, enduring four surgeries, with more to come. Insurance has only covered a small part of the huge medical expenses and we will lose wages while we care for her throughout her extensive physical therapy.

It’s difficult for me, but I am writing to ask if you can help cushion the financial blow of these expenses. We will greatly appreciate any amount you can give. Thank you for your support in this effort and for your good thoughts and prayers. An account has been set up through Bank Of America.

Deposits may be made to routing #323070380, account #485013809127. We know the Bend community is always eager to help their fellow Bendites and share the love. You can be assured your support will be far-reaching.”

Having their trust allows me to help improve my patient’s oral health and keep them smiling.

Blake Quigley, DDS I recognize that each patient has different and unique experiences with dental treatment and objectives for their oral health.

was a tradition started by the Aztecs, honoring the souls of the dead—but it too was later incorporated into the Christian tradition.

there was a collision of cultures, languages and civilizations mixed together.

I don’t think it was all appropriation, it was amalgamation.”

Waller proposes a definition of appropriation as: “The dominant group (White European Americans, prominently male) taking something from someone, that has been marginalized and making a comedy, mockery or sexualizing that culture.”

Recent years have seen the rise of a host of groups, aimed at pushing back against racial stereotyping and discrimination and other longstanding cultural phenomena; Black Lives Matter, the #MeToo movement and immigration protests, to name a few.

“It’s a tough line,” said Waller. “On one side people are overly sensitive, on the other it’s manifestation of a long-standing power dichotomy.”

Halloween is not the only holiday that brings up questions around the line between appropriation and appreciation—but also highlights a melding of cultures in North America.

Dia de los Muertos, most often associated with Mexico but also celebrated elsewhere in Latin America, is another example. Halloween, which originated as the Celts’ Samhain events, was celebrated on the night when the ghosts of the dead came back to earth—on Oct. 31, the night before the start of the Celts’ new year. Christians later incorporated that tradition into All Saints’ Day. “It’s widely believed today that the church was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related church-sanctioned holiday,” state the editors at History.com.

Dia de los Muertos, on the other hand,

children who have passed, begins. The next day is for the adults.

While both have their basic roots in the concept of human death, they began as events in different cultures.

The general rule of thumb around Halloween costumes: If a costume portrays a person from a culture that’s not one’s own, it’s probably appropriation.

Desert Mystic: The Paintings of John Simpkins

S

ome artists apply their craft to make a living. Some pay attention to their creative spirit on Sundays, in the spare room, with the good light. And then there are some artists who seemingly walk through the world with creativity and life dripping from their very essence, applying beauty to every moment of their existence. John Simpkins is one of those artists. To be around the man and his work feels like being captured in a life of art itself. I know this from following him on Facebook (more on that later).

This month, The High Desert Museum will exhibit Simpkins’ new work. For

the last seven years he’s been living in showing work in progress, or sharing a the Old Andrews Schoolhouse in the daily photograph from his morning walk Alvord Desert, painting large canvases with Ella, or smaller paintings he’s crefeaturing the landating on the tops of scape and its inhabSimpkins’ beautiful cigar boxes—which itants, alone except comment on meditations on life often for the companioncurrent politics. ship of his standard Simpkins’ beautiand the way he poodle, Ella. ful meditations on shares his slow days life and the way he Simpkins’ work is often magical—filled shares his slow days are inspiring. with images of aniare inspiring, offermals dressed as monks and often sur- ing perspective and breadth and the rounded by coded messages, perhaps reminder that there’s magic living in the himself in one corner, or the small image world, right here in Oregon. of the United States marking the back of a coyote.

t’s almost that time of year again, time to dress up and go door to door asking for tricks or treats—and also to wonder, is this cultural appropriation?

The Cambridge Dictionary defines cultural appropriation as, “The act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture.” Dressing up as someone from a culture not one’s own—portraying a gypsy, geisha, Native person or a Mexican gunslinger, for example, might fit that definition.

Halloween has become a celebration with a central focus on costumes, but somewhere along the way, the lines blurred between costumes and culture— and those blurred lines can create tension and sometimes unintended consequences.

As the Ontario, Canada-based Laurier Students’ Public Interest Research Group puts it, “Most folks do not pick out a costume with the intention of being racist or transphobic. But regardless of intentions, appropriative costumes still perpetuate harmful stereotypes and justify more aggressive and violent situations.” Among its initiatives, LSPIRG—a not-for-profit primarily serving students at Wilfrid Laurier University— runs an “I am Not a Costume” campaign that seeks to educate people on the negative effects of costumes that rely on cultural dress.

The United States’ fusion of cultures may be a factor in the portrayals we see today, says one local professor.

“It’s probably been happening since the days of Columbus,” said Michel Waller, assistant professor of anthropology at Central Oregon Community College. “In the early days of colonization

New Deli Opens in Box Factory

The Box Factory now has one more food option: Valentine’s Deli. Opened by native Oregonian Kari Johannsen and her husband Brian Korfhage, the deli serves sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts. I tried the hot Italian, a toasted sandwich with salami, pepperoncini, capicola, ham, provolone, pepperoncini, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, dijon, seasoning, and oil and vinegar on a po’ boy. It will be hard to try anything else because the flavors in that sandwich were spot on.

tradition. When the raw fish veers too far from sushi, he calls it like it is: carpaccio or ceviche. The mussel ceviche sprinkled with fresh cilantro and crisp, thinly sliced cucumber and carrot was unlike anything I’ve ever had. The mussels were soft with a bit of chew and the light sauce wrapped everything together. If you’ve never had mussels, try this dish; it celebrates what makes them delectable.

Most everything, unless noted, on the menu is gluten free because Cyndi Skomski, Ian’s wife and co-owner, has celiac disease. I dined with two gluten-free friends and they were stoked they could order anything.

About Kusshi, Cyndi Skomski said,

Lisa Sipe

“I think it’s important to convey this is a single-person operation (smaller than a food cart) and with the artistic nature of sushi and care for the ingredients and quality, sometimes there can be a longer wait time to receive the food. With a brick and mortar location and the opportunity to hire other chefs, this would of course go away.” The Skomskis hope to have permanent space by next summer.

“As a micro business wanting to ensure the freshest and highest quality ingredients,” said Cyndi Skomski, “we only order what we believe we will use to prevent waste and help with expenses. That often involves estimating sales, and on exceptionally busy nights we have sold out in the past.” To ensure a table, I recommend arriving earlier in the evening. Because White Water Taphouse is a bar, only adults 21 and over can dine at Kusshi. Cyndi Skomski is looking forward to when they have their own location, because, she says, “We have friends with kids and we’d like more people to access our food.”

sausage. Well, the owners really want to see what you do with their kielbasa, linguica, weisswurst, bratwurst and boerewors. In November you can participate in their first-ever photo cook-off contest. When I asked what prompted the contest, chef-owner Matthew Fidler said, “We have been having a lot of customer satisfaction in the butchery side of things: buying our sausages raw and cooking at home.” To participate, order sausage. Then get contest details by checking the We’re the Würst Facebook page. The food truck is currently sans home, but don’t worry—they’ll be at the River’s Place food cart yard and tap house when it opens this fall on Pursell Boulevard.

Chef owner Ian Skomski said he named the restaurant Kusshi because it “is my favorite variety of oyster that is grown in the Pacific Northwest. It means 'precious' in Japanese, and it rhymes with sushi!” Skomski is a graduate of the California Sushi Academy, the first vocational school specializing in the training and certification of sushi chefs.

Before moving back to Bend, Skomski was chef-owner at Boxer Sushi, a highly successful restaurant in Portland.

The atmosphere is friendly at the Kusshi pop-up. The White Water Taphouse staff runs the front of the house, so they take your order at the bar and deliver your food. The menu features small bites, poke, nigiri, sashimi, rolls, hand rolls and specials. Most sushi is individually portioned—easy to share.

We eat with our eyes first. When our Hawaiian tombo tuna sashimi arrived, it was gorgeous. The deep pink tuna was layered in a line and dotted with bright green wasabi tobiko, a horseradish-flavored fish roe. The tombo was soft and fresh and the tobiko provided delicious crunch. Next up was the spicy yellowtail roll—a kick in the taste buds. The spice lovers at our table fancied it, but it was too intense for some.

The real standout was the hamachi poke with scallion, Persian cucumber, hijiki seaweed, kale, poke sauce, sesame seeds, chili-herb sauce, heirloom carrot and watermelon radish served over sushi rice—a vibrant rainbow of colors and textures with light, adventurous flavors. I loved everything about it but the disposable plastic bowl. It didn’t make sense when everything else was on Asian style dinnerware.

Skomski takes creative license when dishing out his sushi, but you can see his strong respect for each ingredient and

First Man Have the Right Stuff?

SCREEN Does Baby Goose in space

Chazelle and cinematographer Linus Sandgren put the camera right in the cockpit with the astronauts, making the audience feel the claustrophobia and danger coming from the cramped space shuttle...

Director Damien Chazelle is aware audiences already know how the story of Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin ends, so he instills the space segments with a visual accuracy and intensity that no filmmaker has really ever managed to convey. Chazelle and cinematographer Linus Sandgren put the camera right in the cockpit with the astronauts, making the audience feel the claustrophobia and danger coming from the cramped space shuttle.

Even though we know the film will end with the moon landing, it’s still thrilling to see how the filmmakers make science cinematic. The problem with “First Man” isn’t really the filmmaking or cinematography, it’s the simplicity in which everything else is

Look at that little baby goose! He’s gonna be an astronaut!

covered. Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy are both fine as Armstrong and his wife Janet, but the domestic drama involved in their scenes feels beyond cliche.

Regardless of the historical accuracy of the scenes, their arguments have been covered in hundreds of other motion pictures, including Chazelle’s last film, “La La Land.”

Chazelle makes films about obsession. Whether it’s the obsession to be the greatest drummer in “Whiplash” or the jazziest piano man in “La La Land,” his films follow men who sacrifice their happiness, sanity and personal well-being to achieve some sort of ephemeral greatness.

Since Gosling is such a minimalist actor, Neil Armstrong remains a somewhat enigmatic figure throughout the film. We see him smile and act like a regular human person, but we never really understand his drive because we never see him take a moment to

enjoy his achievements.

Don’t get me wrong, “First Man” is an exquisitely crafted motion picture, but the comparisons to Kubrick and Malick are overblown. It’s a technical marvel, but the emotional heart of the film feels just as out of reach as the moon must have felt to the men and women of NASA.

ome film critics judge a movie based on what they want it to be, as opposed to what made it onto the screen. Yes, it’s easy to spot missed opportunities, shaky structure and sloppy characterization, but the real central tenet of any kind of criticism should center around whether the artist achieved their vision…whether that vision is to the critic’s personal taste or not.

With that said, I’m finding it hard to unpack “First Man” without imagining the tiny tweaks that would have made the film an all-timer. We’ve seen the story of the brave men and women of the 1960s who risked their lives in the vacuum of space in order to be the first men on the moon. We’ve seen it a lot.

BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE: With a cast featuring Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson and Chris Hemsworth and a script from the mind behind “Cabin in the Woods,” this neonoir bloodbath is for those who miss the halcyon days of “Pulp Fiction.” Even with a big letdown of an ending, “El Royale” is still a sinful amount of fun. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX COLETTE: The always welcome Keira Knightley

plays Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, a country girl who heads into Paris and marries a well-known writer.

When he begins passing her work off as his own, Colette proves that the will of an artist can be unbreakable. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

FREE SOLO: A documentary following Alex Honnold, the mountain climber who became the first person to free solo climb Yosemite’s 3,000-foot-high El Capitan Wall. This jaw-dropping film has some of the most dizzying mountain climbing footage ever captured. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX FIRST MAN: Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy star in this historical drama focused on Neil Armstrong and his part in the space race. While “First Man” has a few breathtaking space sequences, the film doesn’t soar when focused on the cliched domestic drama. See full review on p 41. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN: The Goosebumps books are a huge staple

for horror kids who haven’t discovered Stephen King yet, and this movie can function in the same way. The perfect cauldron of evil for kids who like to be scared…but not too much. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

HALLOWEEN: The 11th film in the franchise

wisely retcons (aka: retroactive continuity) the entire series, pretending that all of them except for the original never happened. Sadly, this means we all have to forget 2002’s “Halloween: Resurrection” which saw Busta Rhymes get into a kung fu fight with Michael Myers before yelling ,“Trick or treat, MotherF*%$er!” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE HATE U GIVE: When a teenage girl wit-

nesses the shooting of her best friend by a police officer, the way she views the world is changed forever. A powerful and important film guaranteed to spark some serious conversations. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE NUN: A part of the “Conjuring” Cinematic Universe,” this tells the story of a haunted Romanian nunnery and the heroes that try to re-consecrate the grounds. Surprisingly creepy, “The Nun” is another solid entry in the remarkably entertaining franchise. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE OATH: A mega-dark comedy about how we

deal with family when the political divide is too great to overcome. Much funnier than the premise sounds, “The Oath” should be recognized as the best Thanksgiving movie since “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PICK OF THE LITTER: Oh gosh, look at the puppies. Wait, this whole movie is about puppies? PUPPIES THAT WILL ONE DAY LEAD THE BLIND?!?!?! I can’t even right now. Tin Pan Theater THE SISTERS BROTHERS: Based on the

downright brilliant novel by Portland-based Patrick deWitt, “The Sisters Brothers” is an episodic and bloody dramedy following John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix as a pair of hitmen getting caught up in some shady business during the Gold Rush. A new classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

SMALLFOOT: With a voice cast featuring Channing Tatum, James Corden, Common, Danny DeVito and…LeBron James, “Smallfoot” is a surprisingly touching animated adventure about acceptance and xenophobia. Surprisingly deep themes for animation. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX A STAR IS BORN: Lady Gaga and Bradley

Cooper team up to tell one of Hollywood’s oldest stories and somehow manage to keep it feeling fresh and heartrending. Gaga and Cooper are both so powerful that even when the story threatens predictability, the film never becomes anything less than mesmerizing. This will win all kinds of awards. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinemas

VENOM: Tom Hardy is one of the best actors the studios have ever talked into starring in a comic book movie—if only the film was truly worthy of his talent. There are moments of pure entertainment scattered throughout what is ultimately one of the dumbest superhero movies ever made. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinemas

STREAMING THIS WEEK

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS: Horror filmmaker Eli Roth takes on the

young adult genre with a spooky haunted house story featuring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. It’s basically the director of “Hostel” making an homage to the ’80s Amblin Entertainment movies like “ET” and “Poltergeist.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Hart going to night school is a concept that could have born much headier fruit than this barely passable effort. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

TALES OF HALLOWEEN: A super fun anthology flick from a half dozen different filmmakers all focused on Halloween.

May the Source Be with You: Halloween edition

By Jared Rasic

In Pod We Trust: Podcasts that are set up to be a limited series can sometimes be easier to get into than open-ended ones.

“Halloween Unmasked” is an eight-part examination of the things that scare the hell out of us. Episode three not only takes a deep look at John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece, but Amy Nicholson’s surprisingly brilliant podcast also creates a legit, FBI-inspired psychological profile of Michael Myers. College professor Dr. Anthony Tobia even manages to diagnose Myers and connect The Shape with other, real-life serial killers.

The “NoSleep Podcast” has scared the holy hell out of me more than once, combining several short scary stories per episode, making the podcast feel more like

a terrifying audiobook than a normal ‘cast. Listening to this before bed can create some fairly disturbing dreams…I learned that the hard way.

“Return Home” is another scary-as-all-hell podcast, inspired by the old-time radio serials of yesteryear.

With each episode adding to a larger narrative arc, the show becomes addictive almost instantly.

Bingeworthy: Most of the people I know have already binged the entirety of “The Haunting of Hill House,” which somehow managed to be the best ghost story of the year and also a painfully accurate tale of dysfunctional family dynamics. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s basically a mash-up of “IT” and “Six Feet Under,” but even scarier

than both combined.

If you’re looking for something other than “Hill House,” “Haunted” is a disturbing look at real life ghosts and demons. Combining interviews with real people and disturbing reenactments of their stories, “Haunted” is the perfect show for a room full of friends to laugh at while pretending they’re not really scared.

The new movie from the director of “The Raid” has launched on Netflix and it got under my skin something awful. “Apostle” stars “Downton Abbey’s” Dan Stevens as a man searching for his sister among members of a religious cult living on a remote island. Equal parts “The Wicker Man” and “Hostel,” this daringly original thriller is filled with some nightmarish imagery that will stay with you long past the end of October.

VOLUME 22 ISSUE 43 / OCTOBER 25, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I have a bit of an obsession with the macabre year-round, so using Halloween as an excuse to talk about scary stuff is a bit disingenuous.

Still, I’ll take what I can get. There are so many different sub-genres of horror that people with a deep aversion to, say, clowns, can avoid Pennywise and all of his ilk while still finding something spooky to enjoy. Whether it’s a haunted house, killer dolls, serial killers or vengeful ghosts, October brings us a ridiculous number of goodies to scare the crap out of us.

Enjoy!

Haunted History

Where to find actual haunts in Bend

By Keely Damara

Deschutes Historical Museum Yes, that’s right. The Deschutes Historical Museum itself, housed in the historic Reid School, is said to be haunted.

Various employees, including volunteer Vanessa Tupper, have had odd experiences within the building. Staff have come to affectionally attribute to the ghost of George Brosterhous, a contractor who died after falling from the rooftop of Reid School while it was under construction.

"If you want help finding something, you can say, 'Hey, George you know what, I can't find this book, can you help me?' and sometimes that book will suddenly appear on a table that wasn't there before.”

— VANESSA TUPPER, DESCHUTES HISTORICAL MUSEUM VOLUNTEER.

“How that manifests itself is the elevator door will open and close all of a sudden, things will disappear and reappear,” says Tupper. “If you want help finding something, you can say, ‘Hey, George, you know what, I can’t find this book, can you help me?’ and sometimes

that book will suddenly appear on a table that wasn’t there before.”

Tupper herself has experienced “George moments,” as the staff calls these encounters, but she says she’s also captured EVPs, or “electronic voice phenomenon” in a corner room on the second floor.

“It all began with this old-fashioned tape recorder and all I did was push record and play,” says Tupper. “And multiple voices came out of that recorder—male and female—came out of that recorder.”

Tupper says it sounded like some of the voices were speaking in present moment, while others seemed to be “reliving” a moment from the past.

Bend-La Pine Schools Administration Building Formerly Bend Union High School, the historic building now houses the administration offices for Bend-La Pine Schools. Tupper, who was our tour guide, says an individual on the last

walking tour she led, a district employee, said she had experienced “disembodied footsteps.” Rumors include sightings of a ghost of a little boy who rides his bike through the halls at night and lights going on and off by themselves. Tupper herself collected an EVP in the building. A tour guest chimed in to say that when she was in the building signing her daughter up for home school, she heard a large “banging” sound in the basement and was told by an employee that the basement is haunted.

McMenamins Old St. Francis School OK, so this iconic downtown building wasn’t technically on the tour, but Tupper couldn’t pass by it without at least mentioning some of the reported ghost encounters. In 2004, the 1936 Catholic schoolhouse was converted into what is now the McMenamins campus. According to an employee who attended the tour, the lodging quarters for the nuns were transported off-location to Sunriver to make room for some

of the renovations. She says an elevator located where the nunnery used to sit breaks down nearly every month, lights go on and off by themselves and heating units will sporadically stop working.

This is just a smattering of the allegedly haunted places in Bend. The tour also included stories of the O’Kane Building, the Downing Hotel Building and the building housing Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe, among others. To find out more about Bend’s history, visit the Bend Historical Society. If you’re lucky, an employee may share their own ghostly experience with the spirits that some say reside in the historic Reid School — or perhaps you’ll have your own “George moment.”

The Source asks kids: Where's the best place to trick or treat in Bend?

There will be plenty of candy around this Halloween, but where are the best spots to Trick or Treat? We hit the streets of downtown Bend and asked local kids, who were eager to share their secrets.

Sloan and Kellen Olson said, “The Old Mill! Riverfront and Federal!” You might see the pair on the streets dressed as a joker and a jester.

Charlie and Russelle Schumcher said, “NorthWest Crossing at the big circle! The houses are so close together.” They’re still debating costumes.

We also talked to the “birthday gang” gathered for Anna Millican’s 10th birthday celebration, which included Reegan Todd, Ella Rosenzweig, Mckenna Vendenbos, Natalie Bryant and Scarlett Tucker. They said, “Tetherow, Shevlin Ridge, Shevlin Park and Awbrey Butte are the best places with the biggest candy bars!”

Sydney the Cygnet Lives On

By Jim Anderson Jim Anderson

It may not look that way, but Pam Oliver, who’s standing closest to Sydney the cygnet, Tim Ross, who’s giving momma swan, Eloise, the eye, and Robin Gold, at right, are all good friends.

Earlier this summer, Ross risked his good health and welfare searching the nest Pete and Eloise constructed to see if they’d laid any eggs. With the threats of injury to himself, and of causing Eloise and Pete too much stress, Ross and Gold called off the search. But then—as it is when one is patient, Mother Nature answered Tim’s question when a tiny, healthy-looking cygnet appeared, swimming between Pete and Eloise.

Now, here it is about three months later. The cygnet, named Sydney, is about as healthy as anyone could ask, and contrary to what the Trumpeter Swan Society usually does in fall—removing cygnets and taking them to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Summer Lake Management Area to live with other youngsters—Sydney is going to spend the winter with mom and dad.

Why all the flap and glitter about an old Trumpeter female and her younger

husband? Oliver has this to say: “Eloise became an important part of my life when my 2-year-old grandson Skylar discovered her. On Sunday mornings, Skylar and I bonded when looking for animals while we were out walking. By far, Eloise was his favorite animal to visit. On days that Robin was not available to feed Eloise, I would take food to her.

“On the occasions that Skylar was with me for the feeding, he spent time babbling away talking to her. It became a special time for us to go visit Eloise. So when Pete arrived, Skylar was over the moon. He would insist that we go visit Pete and Eloise. He loves to watch them eat and swim. When they honk, his eyes light up. Seeing the swans through a 2-year-old’s eyes has made the experience of caring for the swans that much more important.”

The man who kept Eloise alive and off the ice last winter added, “You asked

me why I help out with the swans. My answer is, (with a big smile) ‘Why wouldn’t I help out?’ My neighbor Robin is a passionate wildlife rehabber who is leading the charge; the other neighbors are all supportive and proud of our swans living on Cyrus’ Lake Aspen; and the swans are just cool birds! I tend to be a problem solver, so whenever Robin needs something, I enjoy stepping in and helping out however I can, whether it is installing a bubbler to keep the ice clear on a section of the lake, or putting my waders on and going out to check on the nest.

“Also, I can now put ‘Swan Fencing’ on my resume after going head to head with Pete and Eloise, defending their nest with only a broom for defense. I will always remember coming out of the cattails to encounter the two of them with their wings outstretched, heads high and hissing at me. That’s when I realized just how big they are since they were eye to eye with me. Luckily, it all ended well. Sydney hatched the next day.”

So that’s where Eloise, and Pete-thehappy-pappy are at this moment. If left to do what swans love to do, teaching their young to fly, and blasting holes in the sky over and around Lake Aspen, winter would be very busy for them and their human neighbors.

But the Trumpeter Swan Society and ODFW thought better of that fun of flying and clipped the swans’ feathers. If you’re worried Sydney will never fly, know that next spring, she’ll be relocated to Summer Lake. When her new flight feathers grow in, she’ll be out there flying with the other wild swans.

E

loise, the surviving trumpeter swan from an original pair brought to Aspen Lakes, has lived quite a life.

She survived the death of her early partner and has lived long enough to gain some friends among the residents.

It was love at first sight for Robin Gold—one of the residents at Aspen Lakes in Sisters, and Eloise, who was surviving all alone. Robin was very concerned for Eloise’s welfare, which led her to seek help from other residents. Pam Oliver and Tim Ross, who stepped up.

Ponderous waterfowl with a lot of body mass to support, swans do not do well out of water. In winter, walking around on the ice-covered pond and snow-covered meadows surrounding the pond was bad news. That led to some serious physical problems for the swan, solved when Gold asked for help getting a bubbler so Eloise could have open water on the lake.

Ross bought a large air pump, that, when piping was installed into the pond, provided a series of very strong air bubbles that prevent the pond from freezing.

That, coupled with a new and healthier feeding schedule, provided by Pam Oliver and Gold, not only gave Eloise the food and physical help she needed, but put her on the path to the health she’d need when (and if) she got a new mate.

And what do you know, that’s exactly what Gold, Oliver and Ross had in mind.

With some pretty fancy planning and a load of donated money, Gold found a male Trumpeter (Pete) trumpeting for a mate. Before you could say “Happy Honeymoon,” he was shipped to Aspen Lakes —and, thank goodness — it was “love at first sight.”

Home Sales Volume Related to Supply of Affordable Homes

Inventory decline of affordable homes appears to be major factor in sales declines

L

193 active listings and 93 sales, whereas in September 2018, there were only 137 listings and 81 sales of homes in that price range.

It appears that the decline in inventory in the mid-price range is related to the decline in sales volume. The figures suggest there is good demand in this price range, but lack of supply. Homes in this price point are not being built to keep up with the demand because builders cannot afford to build in this price range with current costs of land, materials, increases in labor costs and city fees.

49 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 43 / OCTOBER 25, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ooking at reports on national statistics relating to the recent home sales decline, I took another look at the inventory levels for September 2017 and compared the figures to September 2018.

Both last year and this year, Bend single family residences on 1 acre or less and priced under $400,000 had the highest number of sales, reflecting what locals could afford. A comparison of the number of listings available in that price range gave further light on the sales decline volume: In September 2017, for homes under $400,000, there were

My friends tease me, saying that I’m such an obnoxious jerk, but amazingly, everybody seems to love me. Somebody said it’s because I have charisma—like a rock star/ movie star quality. Honestly, I don’t think that highly of myself. I’m interesting-looking, outgoing, funny, and relatively talented in what I do. What is charisma exactly, and can people create it?

There are certain people throughout history that you just know had charisma. Moses, for example: “Hey, fellow Jews, just follow right behind me as I take a jog into the sea.”

Charisma is the Pied Piper of personality traits—a mix of personal magnetism, likability, and powerful presence that leads people to flock to and follow a person who has it.

This can have creepy and even deadly results when the charismatic person is a cult leader, but evolutionary researchers Allen Grabo and Mark van Vugt believe that charisma evolved to be a cooperation booster. Their research suggests it is a “credible signal of a person’s ability” to inspire a group of people to unite behind him or her so they can collectively solve some problem that would stump them individually.

Looks are an element of charisma. Being tall, good-looking, and physically stronger than your peers, as well as appearing healthy, are correlated with charisma, note Grabo and van Vugt. That said, though it’s helpful to be a ringer for Gisele Bundchen, you can more closely resemble a hamburger bun in a bikini and still be mad charismatic. Accordingly, the researchers observe that “anecdotal evidence” suggests that having “particularly unique” features—“such as Abraham Lincoln’s elongated face or Rasputin’s piercing eyes”—may amp up charisma “as a result of their attention-grabbing ability.”

The good news—for anyone who lacks height, hots, or eyes that burn a hole in people—is that how a person acts appears to be the main driver of charisma. And though some people are naturally (that is, genetically) equipped to be more charismatic through their set of personality traits, there are charismatic behaviors that anybody can learn and practice (or, perhaps in your case, engage in more often).

The behaviors that drive charisma are those that reflect a combination of “high power and high warmth,” explains business coach Olivia Fox Cabane in her researchbased book “The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of

Personal Magnetism.”

Most people probably believe that charisma comes simply out of speaking powerfully— Martin Luther King-ing it rather than mumbling their message. Actually, listening powerfully—tapping into how somebody’s feeling, engaging with it emotionally, and empathizing— is essential to having charisma. Connecting in this way drives what people experience as warmth, which Cabane sums up as “goodwill”—the sense that another person cares about them and their well-being.

And sorry, but you can’t just fake the look of someone who’s listening (nod, nod, nod, eye contact, eye contact) while you’re all up in your to-do list or formulating the brilliant thing you’re going to say next.

You’ll think you’re hiding your inattentiveness, but little bits of your body language will always sell you out.

Charismatic body language comes out of the antithesis of nervousAmy Alkon ness—being comfortable in your skin, having a sort of high-powered calm. That’s reflected in slower speech (rather than squirrel-like chit-chattering), the confidence to take pauses while speaking, and breathing from your diaphragm instead of taking shallow gulps of air. (For the basics on speaking more powerfully, read speech therapist and pathologist Morton Cooper’s “Change Your Voice, Change Your Life.”)

Slower, expansive body movements are another mark of the charismatic, in contrast with the herky-jerkyness of the perpetually uneasy -- those who always seem on the verge of making a run for it. However, there’s a caveat to all of this walking and talking advice: If you’re insecure and self-loathing, you can’t just plaster some alpha-girl body language on top of that. Not credibly, anyway. You’ve got to put in the work to fix your foundation. (See my “science-help” book, “Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence.”)

Finally, consider that it takes a strong person to be open about their weaknesses and failures. Counterintuitive, I know. But people don’t relate to greatness. They relate to other people who show how human and imperfect they are. Cabane explains that “drawing attention to your vulnerabilities” ultimately enhances your power. In other words, instead of always working hard to look good, you’ll amp up your charisma by making intermittent efforts to look bad— like by confessing, “I’m socially awkward.

Always have been. I’m really bad at leaving conversations at parties—to the point where I wish a meteorite would crash through the ceiling so I could make my escape.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “He believed in

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” Sagittarian author Jane Austen wrote that in her novel Northanger Abbey, and now I’m passing her message on to you, slightly altered. My version is, “If adventures will not befall Sagittarian people of any age or gender in their own neighborhood, they must seek them abroad.”

And where exactly is “abroad”? The dictionary says it might mean a foreign country, or it could simply mean outside or in another place. I’d like to extend the meaning further to include anywhere outside your known and familiar world. Halloween costume suggestion: traveler on a pilgrimage or explorer on a holy quest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): PR executives at a beer company offered to pay me a lot of money if I would sneak a product placement ad into your horoscope.

They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance. But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite. You should not in fact be lounging around in a haze of intoxication.

You should instead be working hard to drum up support for your labor of love or your favorite cause.

Very Important People will be more available to you than usual, and you’ll be wise to seek their input.

Halloween costume suggestion: the Ultimate Fundraiser; Networker of the Year; Chief Hobnobber.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What kind of idea are you?” asks author Salmon Rushdie. “Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze?” I pose this question to you, Aquarius, because I think you could be an effective version of either idea in the coming weeks.

If you’re the latter—the cussed, damnfool notion— you may change your world in dramatic ways. Halloween costume suggestions: revolutionary; crusader; agitator; rabble-rouser.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is no beauty without some strangeness,” wrote Edgar Allen Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured further, declaring, “Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.” She also added another nuance to her definition: “For something to be beautiful, it doesn’t have to be pretty.” I’ll offer you one more seed for thought: wabi-sabi. It’s a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty—and re-commit yourself to embodying it.

Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her poem “Shedding Skin,” Harryette Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I’ve rendered them in prose for easier reading.) “Pulling out of the old scarred skin—old rough thing I don’t need now—I strip off, slip out of, leave behind.

Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to vul-

nerable stuff. And I’m blinking off old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I’m going to be tender again.” Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie.

Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks.

The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for you, and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and open-minded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher, love explorer, intimacy experimenter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery,” wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren’t working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey-wrench. That’ll be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person; computer techie; machine whisperer.

CANCER (June 21July 22): The great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, “by harnessing them to his chariot.” He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast. “Demons don’t like fresh air,” he said. “They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet.” I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice. Halloween costume suggestion: walk your demon on a leash, or make it into a puppet, or harness it to your chariot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Throughout the Halloween season, I encourage you to fantasize extensively about what your dream home would look like and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. What colors would you paint the walls?

Would you have carpets or hardwood floors? What would be your perfect lighting, furniture, and décor? As you gazed out your windows, what views would you see? Would there be nature nearby or urban hotspots? Would you have an office or music room or art studio? Have fun imagining the sanctuary that would bring out the best in you. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate homebody.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes novelist Jodi Picoult. That’s crucial for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. Why? Because your superpower is going to be the ability to find extraordinary things that are hiding in places where people have almost never thought to look. You can do both yourself and those you care for a big favor by focusing your intensity on this task. Halloween costume suggestions: sleuth, treasure hunter, private eye, Sherlock Holmes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.” Author Shauna Niequist wrote that. In accordance with the astrological omens, I endorse her persepctive as true and useful for you. You’ve zipped through your time of fertile chaos, conjuring up fresh possibilities. When January arrives, you’ll be ready to work on stability and security. But for now, your assignment is to blossom. Halloween costume suggestions: beautiful creature hatching from an egg; strong sprout cracking out of a seed.

The latest in cannabis news

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / OCTOBER 25, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

54

The overproduction myth What do Iowa corn, Idaho potatoes and Kentucky tobacco have in common with Oregon marijuana? All are home-grown natural resources that the residents of the states from which the crops originate could not possibly consume all by their lonesome. Yet, here in Oregon, where our crop arguably has as much or more nutritional/medical value than any of the other crops mentioned above, the cannabis producers are shamed for “overproduction.” Some cannabis entrepreneurs, along with legislators in Salem, are working to fix that problem. An updated version of Senate Bill 1042, introduced in the 2017 session, would allow the governor of Oregon to negotiate transportation of Oregon cannabis to cannabis-friendly states, such as New York or Massachusetts, where cannabis production infrastructure isn’t nearly as advanced. The chief sponsor of the bill, Sen. Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene), told a local media outlet that no transportation of the product could be accomplished via boat or air, which are regulated by the federal government.

Instead, all transport would be done by roadway. Floyd said Oregon would be foolish not to do it. Let’s see just how “pro-business” the Republicans in the state house really are during the next legislative session.

Oh Canada Effective Oct. 17, Canada became the first country among the G7 nations to legalize cannabis for recreational production, sale and use. The provinces and the national government will regulate production and sale, limiting users to 30 grams (or a little over 1 ounce) of possession, and allow the growing of four plants per household. Uruguay is the only other nation in the world with full national legalization.

Harvest Rules & Local Enforcement Mixed or outdoor cannabis farms are in full harvest mode, and they’d do well to remember that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission requires notification by 9am on the morning of harvest before a single plant is cut.

While the OLCC tries to police illegal harvesting, Deschutes County Commissioners in a meeting on Oct. 17 revisited a $144,875 grant for the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and District Attorney’s Office in an effort to police illegal marijuana grows in the area. Anti-marijuana zealots and cannabis entrepreneurs alike seem to agree on the need to slow illegal marijuana production in the county. Rogue producers pay no mind to the odor, noise and production limits imposed by the county on regulated producers. Still, it’s hard not to wonder whether this is simply a giveaway to law enforcement, considering there’s

little chance that a marginal increase in detective overtime is likely to put a dent in the potential illegality mixed in with about 1,000 registered medical marijuana grows in the county.

One of the favored talking points of County Commissioner Phil Henderson and others who are vehemently opposed to recreational marijuana is that the Oregon Health Authority and OLCC are vastly ill-equipped and understaffed, and thus cannot interdict with respect to unregulated grows. But will $144,875 for detectives who, by law, cannot obtain names and addresses of medical marijuana patients and growers, cure the problem? According to the Deschutes County Supplemental Budget Request, $30,000 goes to the payroll taxes and health insurance for a “crime analyst” in the DA’s office, along with $36,000 in overtime for sheriff’s detectives, a couple hundred bucks for a “cell phone/pager” (oh, please tell me they use a pager) and a whopping $1,500 on “advertising.”

But I guess those deep state liberals at OHA and OLCC didn’t think to throw the entire cost of a westside Bend tool shed at the problem, did they?

Marijuana Right to Farm? Not so much.

You know what could save us $144,874, and add over $1 billion to the revenue ledger? Treating marijuana like the farm crop it is and making Oregon the weed breadbasket of the country. But that’s not likely to happen soon on a statewide or local level. The Deschutes County Commissioners on Oct. 17 continued to fiddle with the “Right to Farm” section of the Deschutes County Code, essentially striking cannabis from that protection.

For those less acquainted with the “Right to Farm” doctrine, consider that Deschutes County Code 9.12.020 – “Purpose and Scope” – uses strong language to protect the holy practice of resource extraction: “… Farm and forest uses sometimes offend, annoy, interfere with or otherwise affect others located on or near farm and forest lands. Deschutes County has concluded in conformance with ORS chapter 30 that persons located on or near farm and forest lands must accept resource uses and management practices.” (emphasis mine) There is zero equivocation in that statement, yet this section’s verbiage will live on. Acceptance, apparently, has its limits.
