JACKSONSCORNSERBEND

This week, officials from the City of Bend’s Streets and Operations Department presented its Snow and Ice Management Plan to the City Council. Those who complained during last year’s heavy snowfall season will be pleased to know that a reconfiguring of the shifts among the Streets Department staff is projected to result in a 23 percent per-hour increase in the plows on Bend’s roads.

One chief complaint addressed.

Yet with another common one, it’s important to note that it’s not just the streets department that needs to do the heavy lifting (pun intended). During the Oct. 18 work session, Councilor Bill Moseley pointed out that a major winter-season complaint is that the plowing of Bend’s streets also results in berms of snow left in people’s driveways.

With 40,000 driveways in the city, it’s not feasible for the streets department to clear each and every one of those driveways. The city used to do just that, said streets staff, but it came at a cost of $500,000 and took five days of work time to complete.

When city workers do plow driveways in response to a service request, they say they start with a knock on the door. Why? As Mayor Casey Roats remarked, in some cases, “You’d get to some homes and there would be some awfully able bodied young men answering the door.”

Today, residents can make a service request to have a city plow come and clear their driveway—but in the interest of cost-saving and the public good, those requests should be limited to those who are unable—and who don’t have other help—to clear their own driveways. Indeed, that $500,000 the city once spent on doing a service that many households can handle independently could be better spent elsewhere.

Meanwhile, there’s a very real possibility that the city will restrict parking on certain congested streets—perhaps through an evenodd clearing of cars or other methods—when there’s a snow emergency. In other words, you may very well be required to move your car during snow events, so as to allow plows better access.

Your city government is making moves to improve the service levels during snow events, and just finished what Abbas called the busiest construction season ever as it relates to street

improvements. You can also do your part.

And while we’re on that topic, clearing sidewalks—where they exist in Bend—as soon as it snows is yet another way you can help ensure those less able-bodied have a prayer of leaving their homes during a snow event.

But here’s yet another way you can contribute to the community conversation. At the Council work session, the Streets department also floated the possibility of “targeted, limited” use of salt in extreme winter situations.

This, as you might know, is a highly controversial environmental issue, because, as Councilor Nathan Boddie put it, “A river runs through town, and when that stuff gets into the waterway, it’s bad.”

It’s important to note that the streets department is not advocating for widespread use of salt, but instead only using it in cases of longstanding freezing, for example. Still, the department has not yet made a final decision on that topic, and will present a report to the Council at a later date. With that, now might be the time to weigh in to your Council on whether you support salting Bend’s roads.

The City is Walking the Walk on SDCs. Parks Should, Too. At its Oct. 18 meeting, the Bend City Council also voted 6-0 in favor of allowing for exemptions of System Development Charges—those fees levied to developers to offset the cost of streets, water and other infrastructure that comes along with a new development—for “deed restricted Affordable Housing Projects.”

As we’ve outlined before, the City should be doing all it can to alleviate the housing crisis that has plagued this city for years.

As Boddie pointed out during that meeting, other government bodies should follow suit. Park board members have told us before that when a person is low-income, park facilities become even more crucial, and we do agree. However, Bend has a wealth of beautiful parks already, and subtracting the park's SDCs that would otherwise be levied to affordable housing projects would send the right message to the community. In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the physiological need of shelter is more fundamental than other health or personal enjoyment needs. It’s time for the Bend Park and Recreation District to do its part to alleviate the housing crisis. SW

BEND WESTSIDE GAS—IT STINKS! Its truly remarkable. As a newer resident to Bend, I must admit it is amazing how I keep reading that the city has inadequate funding to fix the potholes and keep up the condition of the streets. And yet, over here on the Westside, south of Tumalo, we have been plagued for five months of first fixing sewer lines, then gas lines and it’s still not finished and the roads are worse!

Does anyone check this work or is responsible for timeliness of these projects?

This should have been done in half the time and yet I’m sure we keep paying overtime to these workers who could care less about the businesses and residents in the area.

Well done City of Bend Streets Department! You have truly amazed.

MUSINGS ON MAKEOVERS FOR NFL MASCOTS? ONE READER CONTEMPLATES THE “WASHINGTON ORANGE-SKINS.” The other day while watching pro-football I marveled that a team today could still be named for a racial skin color. Someone suggested that Washington could change its mascot to the “Orange-skins” and put a logo of Donald Trump on the helmet. That would be politically correct, since it’s based on a cosmetics miscalculation, not the color god gave him.

Whereas college mascots range from ironic (Banana Slugs) to nonsensical

(Hokies), pro-football mascots convey a narrower mix of menace (Eagles, Lions, Bears, Raiders, Giants) industry, (Packers and Steelers) and/or regional relevance (Cowboys, Patriots, Texans, Saints.)

“Orange-skins” checks all the boxes: What more menacing, industrious (albeit white-collar) relevant image for our nation’s capital than an aloof, belligerent, climate change-denying ex-executive with one finger on the nuclear button?

Some might say that Trump’s silhouette on the side of a helmet would be too polarizing, but that’s not bad for business—askthe networks who raked it in covering his campaign.

The original iconic associations of many NFL mascots have faded. More steel now comes from abroad than from Pittsburgh.

The meat packing namesake of the Green Bay Packers disappeared in 1943. Most Americans will never see an eagle or falcon in the wild, much less a ram, bronco or bear.

Panthers are extinct in Carolina and jaguars in Florida.

But Orange-skins is so today.

Makeovers for other NFL mascots might offer a compelling injection of looming menace, modern industry (or lack thereof), current regional relevance, and controversy.

Here’s a shortlist; the Philadelphia Frackers (could get confusing against the Packers), the New York 1 percent (or Giants of Industry), the Detroit Layoffs (who never quite make the playoffs), the Seattle Tsunami, the Minnesota Nuclear Winter, the Pittsburgh Concussion (in memory of Mike Webster), the Arizona Swelter, the Miami Inundation, the New Orleans (Storm) Surge, the Los Angeles Wildfire, the Denver Drought, and the San Francisco Revolutionaries (insert

here Colin Kaepernick, Steve Jobs, or Flower Children—something for almost every West coast demographic).

Houston should change back to the Oilers, given the black stuff’s present and projected contributions via carbon emissions and campaign donations to so many of the other mascots. And when Oakland moves the Raiders to land-locked Las Vegas, there are almost endless possibilities, although Trump himself has shown that you don’t have (to be near the) ocean to be a pirate.

Outdoor School is an incredible program and by passing Measure 99, Oregon voters gave an incredible gift to future generations. But Measure 99 didn’t just happen. It took four years of dedicated effort by volunteers statewide to push this issue: forming a statewide coalition with the help of the Gray Family Foundation, writing and lobbying for the legislation creating a State role in supporting outdoor education and then collecting over 100,000 signatures to put Measure 99 on the ballot.

A real tribute to the saying that a small group of dedicated people can change the world. We should never forget that the things that make Oregon special—our public beaches, recycling, bicycling, farm and forest protection—all started with ordinary people.

Yay, Oregon! Go Outdoor School!

How the far right acts as a “bridge phenomenon” for white supremacists n his tax speech in Pennsylvania this month, President Trump gave a shout out to “The great Jeffrey Lord.”

He went on to explain that Lord “was on fake news CNN for a long time. He was one of my few sources of truth.”

CNN severed ties with Lord after he tweeted “sieg heil,” a Nazi salutation.

Trump’s flirtation with racism is nothing new—it extends back through the campaign and into many facets of the presidency. He called the white supremacists in Charlottesville “very fine people” and has repeatedly refused to condemn hate groups. But the precise mechanisms by which the administration and ally media outlets such as Breitbart act as bridges to normalize hate groups is becoming increasingly clear.

This month, Buzzfeed’s massive story on right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos shows that he sent at least one major Breitbart story to a number of white supremacists to vet and line-edit. In a video embedded in the story, Richard Spencer and others gave a Nazi salute as Yiannopoulos sang “America the Beautiful” at karaoke. Milo even spiked a story at the suggestion of white nationalist Devin Saucier, a friend of Spencer’s.

Yiannopoulos was forced out of Breitbart after an old tape in which he appears to condone pedophilia came out, but he has remained in contact with the major funders to the site, the billionaire Mercer family, which funded Milo Inc. Bannon, who had declared the Mercer-funded Breitbart a “platform for the alt-right,” left the site to run Trump’s campaign and work as a senior advisor to the White House, and returned to the site when he was ousted shortly after the white nationalist terror attack in Charlottesville.

“Dude---we r in a global existentialist war where our enemy EXISTS in social media and u r jerking yourself off w/ marginalia!!!!,” he wrote to Milo. “U should be OWNING this conversation because u r everything they hate!!! Drop your toys, pick up your tools and go help save western civilization.”

“Western civilization” is often code—for people like Bannon and the far-right (see footnote) fraternity, the Proud Boys—for whiteness. But it is less offensive, and less likely to scare away potential converts.

In his New York Times Magazine story on Breitbart, Wil S. Hylton (full disclosure, a friend) talked to Yochai Benkler, a professor who had been studying the site’s rise.

Breitbart, it turned out in Benkler’s study, was three times more influential than its closest rival, Fox News, during the 2016 election. In this way, it

D E M O C R A C Y I N C R I S I S

has, according to Benkler, served as a sort of filter that helps legitimize racist ideas. Benkler told Hylton that “Breitbart is not talking about these issues in the same way you would find on the extreme right...They don’t use the same language you find on sites like VDARE and The Daily Stormer’’ — two sites connected to the white-nationalist altright movement.

But they are talking about those same issues, and it turns out that the fact that they don’t use the same language as Daily Stormer is what makes Breitbart effective as a “bridge” that, in Hylton’s words “functioned as a legitimizing tether for the most abhorrent currents of the right wing.”

Now that we know that Yiannopoulos actually sent “his” Breitbart stories (which were actually often not written by him) to Andrew “Weev” Aurenheimer, who works at the Daily Stormer, the bridge phenomenon comes off a bit differently.

“What we saw in our larger scale analysis was that Breitbart was offering a bridge, a translation platform from the white nationalists to the rest, but that the language and framing was sufficiently different to not be read directly as white nationalist,” Benkler responded in an email when I asked about the Milo story.

Trump himself has often acted as a similar kind of bridge. Although he first endorsed Luther Strange to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ old Senate seat in an Alabama special election, Trump has now come around to fully supporting Roy Moore, the theocratic former Alabama judge twice removed from office for failing to recognize the rulings of a higher court.

But Moore is himself acting as a bridge for even more extreme figures.

As Talking Points Memo reported last week, Moore’s top supporter is Michael Peroutka, which the site described as a “hardline Confederate sympathizer with longtime ties to a secessionist group” who has “expressed

beliefs that make even Moore’s arguably theocratic anti-gay and anti-Muslim views look mainstream by comparison.”

Peroutka, a secessionist and debt-collection attorney, ran for president in 2004 for the Constitution Party. In 2014, he ran for the county council in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and was supported by Moore, whom Peroutka has honored by naming a field on his farm for the Alabamian. In 2012, Peroutka asked attendees of a League of the South conference to “stand for the national anthem,” and proceeded to play “Dixie.”

So as the President and his administration continue to throw fits about athletes “disrespecting the flag,” by taking a knee during the national anthem, they are actively supporting or receiving support from racist extremists who support either the Nazis or the confederacy. SW Note: After writing about the Proud Boys (in versions of this story that were published elsewhere last week), Democracy in Crisis got a cease and desist letter from the Proud Boys’ lawyer, complaining that the column described the “western chauvinist,” “far right,” “fraternity” as “alt-right.”

When they say “western chauvinist”™ instead of “racist” they say they are claiming only “the west is the best” and not that white people are the best. They often point out their few minority members. They think they may be able to draw these lines wherever they want and separate themselves from the “alt-right.” They think they can control the narrative.

A lot of publications decided to change the word “alt-right” to “far-right” or something similar in order to avoid spending time and legal fees debating this. I myself feel like “the litigious alt-lite” is now a far more accurate phrase for these guys. Like Mike Cernovich and all of the other people who want to be able to say hateful things while simultaneously denying they are hateful people. So consider this a correction.

Central Oregon Residents Contemplate #WhatNow

#METOO So here we are, raising awareness about something that feels as familiar as ordering coffee. — Anonymous (Posted to FB in response to #Me Too)

O

n Oct. 15, two words dominated social media feeds after actress Alyssa Milano made a simple request. In response to a suggestion from a friend, she tweeted, “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.” The intention was to give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.

Within hours, women took up the two-word phrase as a rallying cry against sexual assault. The hashtag #MeToo flooded Facebook and Twitter along with stories of assault that ranged from catcalls on the street to uninvited groping and rape. Reports from the two companies verified that in less than 24 hours, the hashtag appeared in 12 million posts and 500,000 tweets, affecting 45 percent of the social network’s users in the U.S. The sexual harassment allegations against film mogul Harvey Weinstein sparked Milano’s recent request, but the “Me Too” movement isn’t new. Activist and Just Be Inc Founder Tarana Burke started it over a decade ago as a program offered by her organization in an effort to support and amplify the voices of women of color who experienced sexual abuse and assault.

“Survivors are really the only ones who truly understand survivors,” says Burke. “I…believe in the beauty of people, of being in community and supporting each other. And what we’ve seen…is what community looks like when people support each other.”

Moe Carrick, founder of Moementum, Inc. and recipient of Bend Chamber’s 2016 Woman of the Year Award,

after working in this field for 20 years, the sheer volume of #MeToo posts isn’t what grabbed my attention, it was the widespread reaction—the very serious recognition that women (and men and non-binary) were met with respect and belief.”

Last year’s Count Her In report

by The Women’s Foundation of Oregon revealed that that just over half of females in Oregon have been the victims of sexual or domestic violence. “Perpetrators have sexually or domestically assaulted over 1 million Oregon women and girls, one of the three highest rates in the nation,” a factsheet on the report noted.

Huerta says she hopes that the groundswell of support turns into a permanent change in society’s norms.

On Nov. 1, Saving Grace is hosting a community conversation called “Let’s Talk About It: Where do We Go From #MeToo?” to help the community process the magnitude of the problem and talk about what people can do—especially men—to stop everyday sexism and help create communities where sexual violence is the exception instead of the rule. In the meantime, Saving Grace offers the following starting points for stopping sexual violence: -- Believe survivors.

-- Don’t “rank” experiences.

A wolf-whistle can be as frightening as a grab.

-- Words matter. Don’t engage in “locker-room-talk” and don’t allow it in your presence.

-- Talk to young boys about respect for women and healthy relationships.

-- If you see or hear something abusive happening, say something.

Huerta says she’s remaining optimistic. “I would like to get to the point where things like the me too hash tag come about not because of a big Hollywood story, but because a person who works where we shop for groceries was hurt and we all care and aren’t going to stand for that in our community,” she says. “We’re not going to stand for a community where one person hurts another. That’s what I’m holding out for.” SW

feels both inspired and troubled by the campaign. She says, “I cannot count the number of incidents of groping, touching, catcalling and whistling that (I have experienced over the years)."

Perhaps even more significantly, she shared that bias against women affected her job opportunities. “The boys’ club persists and I cannot get a membership card even when I assimilate and become very ‘white guy,’” explains Carrick. “#Metoo illuminates the incredible reality and volume of harassment against women, which is data that most men do not think of or always believe.”

Carrick is also concerned the campaign runs the risk of alienating men by shaming them. “…Men as an identity group are not all harassing and perpetrating abuse. Many are good allies and are troubled by this in deep ways,” she explains. “I find myself wondering... what are we women going to do to reach across and work with men to change the culture of men so that we all thrive?”

In contrast, the movement has also drawn sharp criticism for putting the burden of changing the culture that produces sexual assault and harassment on the shoulders of victims.

Megan Foster, prevention program coordinator for the Oregon Attorney General’s Sexual Assault Task force, confirms that the vast majority of sexual assaults are perpetrated by men, regardless of the victim’s gender, and says, “Our position is that the root causes of sexual violence are oppression and inequity,” and explains that rape culture is a product of oppression, and affects everyone.

“We are all affected by the assumptions and stereotypes about who people get to be based on their gender identity,” says Foster. “Sexual violence is preventable and we all have a role and responsibility in preventing it.”

Foster points out that we can see the assumptions about who men are everywhere: on television, and in movies, the media and the news. “Especially when it comes to sex and relationships, men are supposed to be the aggressors, take charge and want sex all of the time,” says Foster. “There’s a really harmful impact on who they get to be. We are raising men to sexually assault.”

For Janet Huerta, executive director of Saving Grace, the response to the “Me Too” movement came as no surprise. Saving Grace provides a hotline and free confidential services for women who have experienced sexual assault and harassment in Central Oregon. She says, “As a rape survivor myself, and

» Designing multi-use clothing solutions to provide shelter and warmth A jacket that turns into a tent. Or a sleeping bag. Or a backpack. Or an inflatable raft. Yes, you read that right.

These bold inventions by designer Angela Luna are an attempt to help homeless people and refugees—one coat at a time.

Inspired by the ongoing Syrian humanitarian crisis, Luna says in 2015, she saw the now-infamous image of a

speaking with humanitarian agencies, she said the most common issues which came up were shelter, warmth and visibility—and the ability to camouflage, at times. “On the inside it’s reversible… one side is reflective,” she says. “It’s designed for hiding because I know refugees do have issues with needing to be seen and needing to hide (at) other times.”

Though the designs comes with a steep pricetag—$350 for the tent jacket— Luna says 10 percent of sales will go toward donating a jacket to a displaced person, and her visibility jacket is a “buy-one-donate-one” philanthropic model.

“I just remembered feeling so helpless and I thought, OK, where is there a design problem we could offer a solution to? I decided to see if there was a way design could play a positive role in what was going on in the world.”

Luna designed an arsenal of dual-purpose clothes— jackets that are reflective for visibility, a sleeping bag that can be converted into a coat or a tent, which can also be used as a jacket. “With fashion you can dress people and help people,” she says.

Luna, who’s in her 20s, says the products can be used anywhere—distributed to homeless populations in the U.S. or even to address worldwide refugee crises. Far-reaching aid groups, such as one in China, have already asked for jackets for temporary shelter.

The recent design graduate will have the first shipments of the tent-jacket distributed in early 2018. “Each jacket responds to an issue that a refugee faces on a daily basis,” Luna says. Having spent countless hours researching and

CO-FOUNDER OF A RIGHT 2 DREAM TOO, RIGHT TO SURVIVE HOMELESS CAMPS

» Offering a place of rest in Portland for the homeless “Everyone has the right to rest, the right to sleep, the right to dream, too— but where they get to do that remains the question,” says Ibrahim Bilal Mubarak, co-founder of Dignity Village, Right 2 Survive and Right 2 Dream Too, all permanent homeless camps in the Portland metro area.

“People are getting arrested for looking for a decent place to sleep. What does that tell you? It tells you they don’t care about us. We got to stand up and fight back. You walk down the streets here, how many people sleeping on the streets, how many people without housing? Even people that work, they can’t afford it. And the shelters are the new prisons,” he says.

Mubarak, who himself has been chronically homeless in the past, acts as liaison between private and public owners to facilitate the resting camps.

He advises Portland city officials, community leaders and neighborhood associations on homeless issues—including training police and social service workers in homeless advocacy. His camps have strict rules: no alcohol, drug or weapons use— and “no disrespect.”

Zoning challenges have made it difficult to replicate the successes of these homeless camps in Deschutes County,

ARCHITECT, TED TALK CURATOR, AUTHOR

» An Advocate to Dignifying Design “I believe design functions as the soundtrack to our lives, that we aren’t even aware it is playing...it sends us subconscious messages, about how to feel and what to expect.”

John Cary, architect and author, is trying to combat bad design with something he calls dignified design. “I went into architecture because I thought

“You walk down the streets here, how many people sleeping on the streets, how many people without housing? Even people that work, they can’t afford it. And the shelters are the new prisons.”

— IBRAHIM BILAL MUBARAK architecture was about designing and building for spaces for all people to live their best lives,” says Cary. “What I’ve found is that it’s ultimately a very white, male, elitist profession, seemingly oblivious to the world’s needs. I believe so strongly in design because I believe it has the unique ability to dignify, it can make people feel, valued, cared for, comfortable, seen, honored and respected. That’s dignity.”

Cary says he operates his life work— from designing rural Malawian hospitals to free clinics in Arkansas— based on two levels. “Firstly, my motivation is deeply pragmatic. I want to change the practice of architecture and design.

I want to alter how we build, what we build with, whom we build for.

“On another level I’m a big believer in design, to change lives, to bring dignity to the disenfranchised, the poor and to all of us....Well designed spaces shape our idea of who we are, what we are worth and what we deserve in the world.

That is the essence of dignity.”

“Yet, when we think of spaces, that makes us feel exactly the opposite.

Uncomfortable, unsafe, insecure, insignificant, those spaces are much more abundant in fact.”

Cary experienced this exact feeling, with the birth of his daughter a few years ago. Here he was in a world-renowned Californian hospital, in an intimate moment with his wife with other expectant parents-to-be, yet the design of the maternity ward made him feel uncomfortable and isolated. “You couldn’t find a comfortable chair to sit in… and during our entire three-day stint in the hospital we didn’t meet any other parents or newborn babies. What kind of design is that?”

Cary and his wife yearned for the rural Rwanda hospital they had experienced years before, where women were in a close-knit room together, facing out

He’s been advocating for such design changes throughout his career and played a role in convincing the Malawian government to build a new rural maternity village which celebrates and designs “around compassion, empathy and dignity.”

Cary, who curates Ted Talks and recently released a new book entitled, “Design for Good,” says his ultimate role is that of a connector. He has aided in projects from free clinics in rural Arkansas for the uninsured to Los Angeles, “skidrow” transitional housing complete with supportive services, to a 22-mile Atlanta beltline and a 17-pavilion women’s center in Africa made with “500,000 bricks that the women pressed themselves. It was designed as safe space for them,” he says.

The lessons he’s learned throughout his career? Firstly, that pro-bono work, though rooted in good intention, doesn’t work. “What I found is that in order for these projects to happen, there has to be seriousness on all sides and that the fees actually benefited the project.” None of the programs described above were done pro-bono—a 180-degree turn for Cary who wrote the book, “The Power of Pro Bono,” just seven years ago.

Another lesson? That competition— the usual bidding made by architectural firms—didn’t benefit these sort of projects. Rather “reputation and relationships” prevailed over all. His result?

“Projects that turned constraints into opportunities. They were all super low budget, complicated… but they helped build local economies.”

Ibrahim Bilal Mubarak

yet Mubarak and his camps serve as an inspiration for many searching for solutions to the ongoing housing crisis.

The importance of eight hours of uninterrupted rests was profiled in a letter written to Ibrahim from a “dreamer” identified as Adam. He outlined the integral benefits of the camps, stating, “...(my) appreciation for those who have allowed me to have a safe place to rest and relax.

A place of safety from the streets, a place where I could go, collect my thoughts, and escape from the crazy, chaotic world of being homeless in Portland.

“I feel that there should be more places like yours where one can seek sanctuary and be in a drug- and weapons-free environment. It comforts me that one can create a place like yours where the larger community can be so helpful providing food, clothing and other donations. As a result their situation can be made better.”

Mubarak spoke about homelessness at a forum at COCC this month.

O

ver the course of Halloween week, Bendites have many options for dancing, live music and general mischief and frights. (See our Picks page for proof...) On Halloween night, the Shook Twins, who currently call Portland home, hit the stage at the Volcanic Theatre Pub to perform a tribute to the cult classic—arguably one of Quentin Tarantino’s finest: “Pulp Fiction.”

“The guys in the band came up with it,” Katelyn Shook, the band’s primary string player, says of the idea to play a tribute to “Pulp Fiction.” “Maybe one of the songs came on Spotify, then we started rolling with it and listening to the soundtrack more. It has some awesome hits. We’ll play seven of the main ones that everyone knows well. It’s been really fun to learn them, too!”

“Pulp Fiction” landed in theaters in 1994, telling the story of two mob hit men, a gangster’s wife, a boxer and a pair of diner bandits. The characters intertwine, telling four stories of violence and redemption in the way only Tarantino can.

“Pulp Fiction” is the inspiration for some iconic Halloween costumes and one of the greatest soundtracks of the past 20+ years. Uma Thurman as Mia, the gangster’s wife, danced her way into a permanent place in pop culture history.

“It’s a cult classic,” Shook says of the film. “I like that it’s so gnarly and so violent, but I can handle it. I like his (Tarantino’s) style even though it’s really gory. I still don’t really know why, some of his later movies are over the top. ‘Pulp Fiction’ has all the best quotable lines and the characters are amazing.”

Come Halloween night, the twins, who hail from Sandpoint, Idaho, take the stage with their band to perform those movie hits, along with some of their original folk-pop jams.

The special Halloween show will also include local guest horn players, a saxophone and trumpet. The band will be dressed as characters from the movie, and they encourage the audience to dress up too. The Bend performance isn’t the only place they’re performing the schtick; they’re doing it as part

of a five-show run before Bend as well.

While playing a themed show offers the band an exciting change of pace, the Shook Twins also have more than a handful of covers in store. In November, they plan to release their latest EP, “The Duo EP.” According to Katelyn Shook, the EP features four older songs that have been re-recorded in a simple, stripped down style, as well as one new song and a cover. Even though the EP doesn’t come out until next month, Shook said they will have copies available at the Bend show.

Up next for the Shook Twins: finishing their next fulllength album, after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Shook says they found out on the first day of the most recent tour that the album had been funded—a great way to kick off their tour.

“I like Kickstarter, it’s the second one we’ve done,” Shook says. “Although it does add stress because you have to make the goal to get the money, it kicks people in the ass a bit more to get on it and donate. A lot of people waited to the last minute, but when it happens it’s really rewarding. I think it’s a really important avenue right now for indie bands.”

Shook says the next album will feature a lot more soundscaping, which evokes a lot of feelings for listeners. Shook says she loves having sounds on the album that make people think, “What is that sound?” SW

Eight Halloweens Strong

Blackflowers Blacksun gears up for another round of playing the dirty punk blues, as part of Bend’s counterculture scene

By KM Collins

W

alls adorned in a collage of taxidermy. Floor covered in peanut shells, served under low light. Tall boys of Old German for $1.

The former Horned Hand garage music venue, shut down for serial neighborhood noise violations, had a charm all its own—and in 2011, it’s where many fan-girls became enamored with the guttural proto punk dirty delta tunes of Blackflowers Blacksun.

Today, devotees with their ears to the underground know: When Jack Frost brings the flakes, frontman Greg Bryce will emerge from a summer battling blazes to once again deliver his brand of locally produced blues.

BFBS’ lineup also showcases lap steel player Andy Coman, drummer Randy Rooker and fill-in drummer, Maxine Roach, previously of Harley Bourbon. With musical influences including Iggy Pop and the Stooges and MC5 from Bryce’s roots in Detroit, BFBS’ sound is made for dive bars, house parties and barns.

In the tradition of delta blues, Bryce takes salty and sultry covers and twists and churns them into something new.

In turn, the audience twists and churns their bodies. Dancing at these shows is an imperative.

Looking over a 2016 set list from a Cinder Cone Clay Studio show, some songs are more punk than blues, and vice versa. “Jack” and “Cold Drink” really move the rhythm into a slow-mo space, reverb and feedback aplenty. “Sex Beat,” a Gun Club and Jeffrey Lee Pierce original off the album, “Fire of Love,” amps up the frequency of slide over string. Stereotypical punk rock moves ensue; leaning in, head banging and toe tapping. Meanwhile, “Elvis from Hell” elicits a rowdy body torque despite less screamy vocals.

Surrounded by a dozen guitars in his spare bedroom, many of which he altered or built himself, Bryce explains the evolution of counterculture music in Bend.

“The scene is full of people that are DIY, making their own shit. The Horned Hand was a staple because it gave musicians, kids, a place to perform and park and sleep in their van,” Bryce says.

Indeed, the era of the Horned Hand era was a different time, before Sprinter van living was cool.

In addition to the many that surround him, Bryce mentions he’s got another dozen guitars that are “farmed out.” He adoringly points to scratches and dents on the dozen within arm’s reach, admiring a particularly gnarly acoustic salvaged from a dump in Galena, Ark., where he is often stationed for summer firefighting. Bryce blasted mud and sand out of the internal cavity after a flood to make it playable. Pretty DIY. Showing me a collection of modern and antique guitar slides, Bryce explains the origin of this instrumental tool. Back

in the day, to produce the hallmark sound of a slide whine, his favorite bottleneck guitarists used the broken necks of whiskey bottles and ran them up and down the fretboard.

“Spark plug wrenches are the best because of their mass against the thick strings,” Bryce says. “They create less chatter than the lighter glass option. Plus, they only cost one dollar at the pawn shop.” Pretty DIY. When I ask about his band, experience and accolades, Bryce continually shifts the interview to talk about the Bend music community as a whole. Entering the Bend scene in 2007, Bryce performed at open mics and then with his band at M&J Tavern. According to Bryce, once the Horned Hand shut down, M&J really stepped it up for the underground.

“M&J has changed the music scene,” Bryce notes. “They have been a champion of local music and an incubator for the untrained musician. Americana, homemade music.” Bryce says locals he admires including Jess Ryan, Harley Bourbon (now The Roof Rabbits), Joe Balsamo of Box Car (now Big Evil) and Kylan Johnson, who have all “come up through M&J.” As he goes on to explain the shift of Bend audience demographics, a string of spirituals from the Mississippi Delta plays on the record player.

“Punk music is a lot like the street look or street fashion. It starts with someone who can only afford second hand clothing and pretty soon people are paying $300 for jeans with holes in them. The more and more popularized something is, picked up on and decimated, all of a sudden you’re Beyonce. Our core audience are locals that really like blues music. And older folks, grown up punk kids… the hipper than hipsters, with all the puffy coat people trailing after.” SW

The Summit of Rugby

Summit Kuehn, co-founder of Central Oregon’s Timberwolves Rugby Club

O

n a chilly afternoon in Riverbend Park, with a cold wind blowing off the Deschutes River, Summit Kuehn is so bundled up that her pink-dyed hair is barely visible. She’s taking a short break from coaching the Timberwolves Rugby Football Club to chat up a visitor about her passion for the sport. She gushes so enthusiastically about rugby that it takes the edge off the frigid gusts of wind—which seem to have no effect on the players running through drills.

Her eyes sparkle and her smile radiates as she talks.

“Rugby kind of saved my life,” Kuehn says. “I wasn’t in a good place. I had depression issues, and I wasn’t exercising or eating right. It’s helped me become more self-confident.” She says she does her best to pass that on to her players.

Kuehn, 22, was born in Portland but grew up in Minnesota, where she lived until returning to Rip City a couple years ago to attend art school. That didn’t go so well, she says, so her boyfriend talked her into moving to Bend.

Kuehn says she was introduced to the basics of rugby in a Total Fit class at Central Oregon Community College.

She then hooked up with the Bend Lady Roughriders Rugby Club. “I went to one practice and just kept going,” she says.

“I made a bunch of friends, and now they’re like family. It’s nice to be a part of such a communal sport. One hundred percent, it’s community-based.” There’s a camaraderie that envelopes the sport

—like when home teams host their visiting competitors to dinner or drinks after a match.

Kuehn is so involved in her newfound passion that she was elected president of the club in August. The Timberwolves Rugby Club had its humble beginning this past spring, with four to six girls, mostly from Bend High School. Kuehn says she started the club with help from Kirdy Molan, Adam Pendergraft, Austin Alley and Travis Skyles. It’s the only high school girls rugby club in the area and is open to all high school girls in Central Oregon, Kuehn says. The club currently plays “7s,” with 18 girls on the roster, representing Bend Senior High School, Mountain View High School, Summit High School and Redmond’s Ridgeview High School. Kuehn says the goal is to get 25 to 30 girls in the club so it can play “15s” in the coming spring season. The fall season wraps up this month with matches in Portland, and next spring, the club will have some home matches.

Between now and then, Kuehn says she and her players and teammates will be working on weights and conditioning, becoming stronger and more fit, which will help lessen injuries.

“As the Timberwolves Rugby Football Club, we are very accepting and strive to develop a safe, fun and competitive environment,” Kuehn wrote in

an email. “Rugby is a great way for girls to change the way they see their bodies and to push them to do more than they ever thought they could. Many girls, myself included, have developed a new love and appreciation for their bodies and have grown to be more confident in themselves.”

Watching her players practice, she adds, “One thing about rugby is you gotta have some thick thighs. Also, you have to be a little weird to play rugby and be willing to work hard, which I love. I love pushing myself to new limits.”

She says this attitude can rub off on her players. “They say, ‘If coach can do that, then so can I.’" So does she consider herself a rugby expert by now? Not so much. “There’s so much chaos in the sport. I don’t think you can ever be expert. I’ve studied the sport a lot.”

Rugby, if anything, is non-judgmental, Kuehn says. “Nobody cares if you’re rich or poor. We just want to play rugby.” All it takes, she adds, is “cleats and a mouthguard—that’s about $45. It’s

all-inclusive. We just want to have a good time to play and enjoy each other.”

When she isn’t coaching, playing or talking rugby, Kuehn is working on her undergraduate degree at COCC. She also works as a server in a local restaurant. Once she earns her degree, she plans on working toward her license to become a tattoo artist.

Finally, it’s not lost on her that her first name, Summit, figures prominently in Central Oregon. Asked for the story behind that name, she admits that she was conceived on a mountaintop. “My parents were avid hikers.”

And asked which she loves more, coaching or playing rugby, she responds, “I love both equally but for different reasons.”

At Liberty: The historic Liberty Theater gets a new mission

T

S P O

formally known as The Liberty Theater, has a new mission, and a new name: At Liberty, part gallery, part events space, part office.

Co-founders Jenny Green, René Mitchell and Kaari Vaughn saw the building’s untapped potential and dreamed of

creating a permanent home and gathering space for Bend’s evolving arts and culture scene. Upcoming exhibitions range from contemporary art from The High Desert Museum, as well as a presentation of Edgar Allen Poe’s work from the Deschutes Historical Society.

Local nonprofits, Arts and Cultural Alliance, ScaleHouse and World Muse will also have offices At Liberty, providing them with a collaborative workspace. Mitchell says, “Many thriving nonprofits struggle to find an affordable office space to expand their presence.

Part of At Liberty’s mission is to provide a home for these organizations to collaborate, grow and expand.” And At Liberty will continue to support BendFilm and other local organizations by continuing to use At Liberty as a hub for their events.

In an ever growing city, where we

often find our community spaces closing or re-imagined into less accessible venues, At Liberty hopes to bring an inspiring and dynamic space for the exploration of arts and culture, through exhibitions, collaborations, and events to the community on a regular basis. SW

Little Plays, Big Ideas CTC Launches 10 Fest

By Jared Rasic

doing a play like ‘Con Artist.’ The idea came to me on a walk. I have no idea what prompted it… I’m a comedy writer. I usually try to come up with realistic plots that have a twist. I don’t know anyone who works in law enforcement and have never been a victim myself.

It’s eerily timely with the Harvey Weinstein allegations and the #metoo movement. It’s a hard subject to tackle and I hope I did my job as a storyteller to shed some light on sexual abuse,” Daniel reflects.

In his piece, “Visitors,” local musician and actor Dave Finch also presents a short look at some very big ideas.

“It’s about forgiveness, letting go, grieving, loving...it urges people to let go of the shit they might be holding onto. The hard part of grieving and dealing with what wasn’t said is that it isn’t hard on the dead, it’s hard on the living and we have to live with ourselves.”

Thomson explains a few of the reasons why the 10

Fest shouldn’t just be a one-off event: “The theatre scene in Bend is growing so fast and there is so much quality work going on, the writers are the next asset that we can tap into. Hopefully, these writers can work these into longer forms, or submit to other festivals or just continue to write great stuff. Also, we would like to make it more public that the theaters here do have an interest in original material... 2nd Street has done it for years and I really think that it could and should become a norm in this town.” SW Cascades 10 Fest

here are so avenues for many types of artists to share their work. Whether it’s music, acting or the visual arts, there’s always a coffee shop willing to hang your piece or an open mic happening somewhere—both in Bend and around the world. But as a writer, it can be much more difficult to get your work out there, and for playwrights, it can be next to impossible. Taking a chance on an unknown playwright is a massive gamble because there’s absolutely no built-in audience, other than the friends the writer has.

Bend’s 2nd Street Theater has put the spotlight on local playwrights including Cricket Daniel and Clinton Clark over the last few years, proving that there is indeed an audience for the world premieres of Bendites. Now Cascades Theatrical Company is taking a different tactic by presenting the Cascades 10 Fest, a night of 10-minute plays written and directed by and starring locals.

Event coordinator and producer Brad Thompson explains the initial selection process: “We were trying to help showcase the local writing talent we have here in Bend. Sixteen writers submitted plays (one gave two scripts) and we decided on the eight that filled a nice, well-rounded evening.”

One of the short plays, “Trigger,” written by Amber Dawn Hanson and Lyryn Cate, was created while the duo weren’t even living in the same town. “We wanted to write together but had no story,” says Hanson.

“When the idea popped into my head, I called Lyryn and we started discussing plot and characters. We came up with an outline for the sequence of events. We each took one character, had the outline, and began writing dialogue as those characters. It was improvisational.

We had to create character before we even had words on the page. At this time, Lyryn was still living in Kentucky, getting ready to move back to Oregon. Our story was written completely through Facebook Messenger.”

Cricket Daniel also has a short in the festival, although it’s quite different from her normal work. “‘Con Artist’ is dark, gritty and about sexual abuse,” says Daniel. “I honestly didn’t think CTC would select it, due to content and language. Hats off for CTC

LITTLE BITES

Ban vs. Food

By Magdalena Bokowa and Jared Rasic Disclaimer: Fifty chickens were harmed in the making of this story.

L

ike the faded tattoo bearing your ex’s name, summiting South Sister after a massive burrito or agreeing to attend Thanksgiving dinner at your weird uncle’s house—some things that may seem like a great idea at the time can quickly give way to misery.

Eating 100 wings was the challenge three Source staffers set. It wouldn’t garner any entries in the record books, but with no training in the hardcore lifestyle of competitive eating, it was a good place to start. No time limit was given, because who can really put a time on the endless consumption of meat? Plus, the team wanted to luxuriate in the profoundly American struggle of consuming more food than a single human being ever needs.

In the end, there laid the carcasses of 100 chicken soldiers, covered in Chicken Bonz’s 14 signature sauces. Sales Rep. Ban Tat, Film Writer Jared Rasic and Assistant Editor Magdalena Bokowa looked at each other in frank disgust, obvious discomfort and... triumphant glory.

Her words sounded like some deep Southern swamp patois mostly made of grunts and strange clicking noises.

“F Vinegar,” exclaimed Rasic. “After about two dozen wings, these sauces come in essentially two flavors. Vinegar based with variant degrees of heat, and sickly sweet like the inside of Willy Wonka’s mouth. I don’t think I can eat wings for at least… two days.”

The others nodded in hazy, deadeyed agreement.

They did little to prepare for this endeavor. Tat had been eating as normal, even competing in another wing challenge two days earlier, while Rasic and Bokowa had both fasted—albeit for only 16 hours. Their poorly designed formula for eating 100 wings was showing.

“The belt-notch has got to come down to the last hole, man. I can’t suck this in anymore,” grunted Tat, as he undid his belt buckle for what would be the third and final time.

“Merph….tahs was g…..od,” was the only comment from Bokowa, whose half-slit eyes were glazed over in a food stupor. Her words sounded like some deep Southern swamp patois mostly made of grunts and strange clicking noises.

Empty Bowls Feeds Hungry Locals

Melancholy Magdalena Bokowa contemplates her life choices, or at least her choice of sauces.

Meanwhile, the meat sweats had gotten to Rasic. Tear-like liquid pooled beneath his eyes, but curiously, not from them. “Hey, miss waitress-lady-person,” he said in a deliriously elevated tone, while pointing at her with a half-eaten chicken bone. “What do you think this liquid is from under my eye?”

“Those are tears,” she replied, while slowly backing away from him, careful not to turn her back.

It had been roughly 95 minutes since they had begun the challenge. The Sourcers had gone through two different waitstaff, four sets of families, eight pairs of disgusted eyes and… 100 wings—leaving them to feel like the only thing they had won was the untroubled sleep of the damned and possibly adult onset diabetes.

“You know, this challenge isn’t SO bad,” mused Tat. “I feel like I could eat MORE, but it’s just the repetition I’m sick of. I’m tired of chewing. The sauces. The bones. … ” “Correction, it’s Bon-zzz,” murmured Rasic, as the sound system launched into another Kenny Loggins hit. Chicken Bonz—the chosen wing spot on Bend’s Century Drive— had a penchant for all the '80s chart toppers.

Phil Collins, Cyndi Lauper, Survivor... you name it, the Sourcers had grooved to it while downing the wings.

As their challenge came to an anticlimactic end, there were no pats on the back or words of congratulation from the staff or onlookers. A strong sense of shame filled the team’s guts. Why would

no one show them approval for their Herculean feat of consumption? As they cleared the more than 24 red plastic baskets filling the table, a bout of nausea rocked Bokowa, who promptly hightailed it to the bathroom, the whirling of the fans doing little to drown out the audible retching sounds.

Rasic seemed ready to go at it again, and had a weird gleam in his eye like a starved animal that was intense, frightening and still hungry for the flesh of birds. Like a pterodactyl. He had also accidentally eaten the most wings, dutifully picking up the lag when Bokowa, floundering to calculate math, had said that two dozen— or what she thought was 18 wings— was her limit. She was wrong. They had all eaten at least 30 and had dutifully exceeded their expectations. And no one knows why, or how, it happened.

But they will do it again. Tat, Bokowa and Rasic looked at the massive mountain of chicken bones, not as a self-imposed and silly food challenge, but as the first steps up their own food-based Mount Everest. They were ready to take on every food challenge Central Oregon had to offer and the only thing that would stop them were their own personal limitations and possibly someone with the decency to tell them enough was most certainly enough.

MICRO Rainy Skies,

Hoppy Glasses

Bellingham, Wash., follows in Bend’s path.

33 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 43 / October 26, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Kevin Gifford

The beer’s just as cloudy as the sky at Structures Brewing.

I

t’s a typically rainy fall afternoon at Structures Brewing in Bellingham, Wash., and a native of Vancouver, B.C. is there, berating his city’s brewing scene. “It’s huge in size,” Michael Oughtred says, “but the quality’s really hit-and-miss, and I feel like it’s just trying to copy what works in Washington and Oregon. That’s why I like it here in Bellingham. Everything’s better, and everything gets done here first before it crosses the border.”

About 50 miles south of Vancouver, Bellingham (pop. 85,146) is similar to Bend in many ways. Both are former lumber towns that sprang up circa 1905, both are popular with outdoorsmen and retirees, and both make it impossible to find a cheap rental. Boundary Bay Brewery downtown was the first brewery to open in 1995, and—like many, many other medium-sized towns nationwide— their numbers ballooned over the past three years.

There are now 12 breweries within the town limits, along with tons of winning beer bars such as The Local Public House and Elizabeth Station. Structures, nestled inside an old print-shop building, was founded by two former Vermont brewers, and their offerings belie that influence. Fuzz, their flagship IPA, is ultra-hazy and packed with citrus flavors, and the rest of the rotating lineup is high on the barrel-aging and blending factor. It’s little wonder that their occasional can and bottle releases usually

sell out at the taproom that same day.

Other worthy joints to check: Chuckanut Brewery: The Great American Beer Festival (GABF) Small Brewery of the Year in 2011 (the same award Sunriver Brewing just won this year), Chuckanut is the king of good lager in the state of Washington. Whether it’s Vienna lager, pilsner or Oktoberfest beer, everything’s mega-smooth, and everything goes great with the food on offer.

Wander Brewing: Barrels are the focus at this brewery, with nearly 100 of them (including a couple of 600-gallon foeders) inside their dog-friendly warehouse facility. They’re aging beer that’s won competitions in Colorado and Belgium, and while the IPAs and such are fine, they’re the main draw of this place for beer fans. Try out Stave Some for Me, made in collaboration with Stoup Brewing in Seattle; it’s a blend of Flanders red ale and saison aged in a mix of red and white wine barrels.

Melvin Brewing: Yet another GABF brewer-of-the-year winner, the Wyoming-based Melvin opened a second brewpub location in Bellingham back in June, with on-site brewing slated to begin before year’s end. Any IPA lover deserves to make a pilgrimage here— they’ve got seven on tap, from the familiar Melvin IPA and 2x4 to Lambda Lambda Lambda, a 13 percent beer that would give Boneyard’s Notorious IPA a run for its money.

THE FOREIGNER: This is definitely not your

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

HAPPY DEATH DAY: It seems like a concept that should have been ripped off already, but “Happy Death Day” takes the concept of “Groundhog Day” and puts it square in the middle of the slasher genre. While the movie has a few fun moments, it's also incredibly stupid and relies on a few twists that make little to no sense. Still, it's pretty entertaining.

THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE: I'd like to assume there's more to this than just ninjas and legos, but the trailers don't make much of a case for that.

Movie SCREEN Disaster Cloudy with a chance of "Geostorm"

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel...OK.

assassinate the president of the United States. Leonidas in space never quite holds the same excitement as Cornish driving an SUV backwards while shooting at bad guys.

The 3D is immersive and made me feel like I was floating in space with Butler, or in the middle of a massive firestorm in Hong Kong. In fact, the 3D is so great that the movie probably won’t be half as entertaining without it.

Without the 3D you might have to pay attention to what they’re saying instead of watching a few hundred thousand pixelated actors get weather murdered in several glorious dimensions.

Whether you’ll like this movie

depends on what you really want or expect from it. It’s nowhere near as entertaining as “Armageddon” or “The Day After Tomorrow,” but there’s a scrappy, can-do spirit on display that makes Butler and all his shenanigans pretty exciting to behold. There’s no universe in which this is a good movie, but it’s most certainly a fun one. SW

Bingeworthy: "Stranger Things" Gets Weird Handcuffs, fisticuffs and the return of the King Another week means another look at all the new and upcoming things that I think are downright neato. There’s so much goodness on Netflix that we’re gonna skip the podcasts and DVD releases this week and dive right into what’s bingeworthy.

Bingeworthy: Horror films are my drug of choice, and October is my favorite month because it gives me an imagined license to talk about all things spooky as much as I possibly can. I mean, I do it all year round, but I feel less guilty in October.

October’s most exciting thing is the return of “Stranger Things” Oct. 27.

Not much is known about the story, but judging from the previews everyone we love is returning and fighting something downright Lovecraftian. I’ve avoided most of the previews because letting

By Jared Rasic the weirdness of this show unfold spoiler-free is kinda the whole point of binge watching anyway. I don’t really care what happens as long as we get to see Eleven and Hopper team up, buddy cop movie style, and kill monsters.

If “IT” got you in the mood for more quality Stephen King adaptations, Netflix has two brand new originals that both approach greatness. “Gerald’s Game” follows a middle-aged couple at their lake house, trying to spice up their marriage. The husband handcuffs his wife to the bed before promptly dropping dead of a heart attack. What unfolds is 90 minutes of pure tension as she has to figure out how to get unattached from the bed before she dies from dehydration, the feral dog in her house or the tall misshapen man who watches her at night.

Even more intense is “1922,” a morality tale about a simple farmer and his terrible choices. This has some downright haunting imagery that will stick to

your brain. If you have any sort of phobia involving rats, I would avoid this like...the plague. (HA) It’s a good time to be a fan of the King.

If you’re just completely over horror movies, Netflix has plenty of other pretty great stuff in its nooks and crannies. “Headshot” is a fantastically brutal martial arts flick from Indonesia that will drop your jaw. If you need something for the kids, there’s a new “Cop and a Half” movie, but they’ve replaced

Burt Reynolds with Lou Diamond Phillips. That seems like a fair trade.

You can also avoid films and TV altogether and just dive into some stand-up.

Patton Oswalt’s new special, “Annihilation,” is his first after the sudden death of his wife, the true crime novelist Michelle McNamara. The special is heartbreaking, hilarious and life-affirming as Oswalt opens and closes the show with a beautiful quote about life from McNamara: “It’s chaos, be kind.” SW

The conspiracy theorists will totally call this movie predictive programming!

Gerard Butler is playing a scientist?

Wait, Gerard Butler is really playing a scientist?

Will there be an opportunity for Butler to somehow fight the weather? Like with a gun or knives?

Will there be a variety of weather-based puns?

“Geostorm” is absolutely a big budget sci-fi movie along the lines of “Ice Spiders,” “Independence Day-saster” or “Sharknado,” but without the knowing wink that they know they’re making schlock.

I mean, check out this plot: In the near future, 18 nations get together and commission a system of satellites (named Dutch Boy) that will control the weather on a global scale after some “Extreme Weather” kills millions around the world. Butler plays Jake Lawson, the chief designer of Dutch Boy and eventual attempted world saver.

Dutch Boy starts malfunctioning and Butler heads to space to see what’s wrong with the little guy. Meanwhile on Earth, Abbie Cornish steals the whole movie as a badass Secret Service agent trying to prevent a conspiracy to

t’s not that Gerard Butler is necessarily a bad actor. He’s usually fun to watch as he stabs or shoots his way through bad guys while failing to conceal his molasses-thick Scottish brogue.

His movies instantly became more interesting when he backed away from the Katherine Heigl-infused romantic dreck he waterboarded his fans with for a few years. Not better, but definitely more interesting.

This is an actor who has played Dracula, a leprechaun, an archaeologist, Beowulf, an Egyptian god, a “Machine Gun Preacher” and the damn Phantom of the Opera without doing anything to differentiate the roles from one another. He doesn’t so much disappear into the characters as he throws 30 percent charisma, 30 percent pectorals and 40 percent anything-for-a-paycheck into the camera to see what sticks, hoping the audience will marvel at his excellent outdoor voice instead of paying attention to his staggering lack of range.

When I heard Butler was starring in “Geostorm,” a disaster movie about weaponized climate controlling satellites killing millions of people, I was excited for entirely too many reasons: This sounds like the plot of a SyFy Channel movie, but with a $120 million

Boys to Men

“Man Camp” aims to foster male courage and empowerment

by Howard Leff 37

I have found that people can enter a drum class or circle with hesitation, fear and uncertainty and leave with smiles, joy and a strong, positive vibe.

Judging from the terminology, you could very easily picture this as an adult gathering. But Man Camp’s open to older boys as well—as long as they’re at least 15. Turner emphasizes the importance of these young adults surrounded by a sea of role models who together form a high-functioning community.

“Role models who are very grounded are often few and further between than is beneficial to individuals and society,” says Turner. “So any time there can be an opportunity for men coming of age to be in an environment seeing the men in the generation above them learning, growing and putting attention on self-betterment—the betterment of that person and the benefit

ne of Hollywood’s most powerful producers, a man accustomed to churning out Oscar statues like so much theater popcorn, winds up in disgrace after explosive, widespread charges of sexual harassment.

A “lone wolf” gunman smashes out the windows inside his Las Vegas hotel suite before opening fire on the crowd gathered for a concert below. When it’s over, nearly 60 people are dead. Over 500 others are injured.

An ex-congressman heads to prison after a series of sexting scandals. The sentence comes down after he pleads guilty in federal court to transferring obscene material to a minor.

What can we possibly take away from these recent, jarring headlines? And even if we could actually identify some hint of a common thread, what can anyone do about it? One Bend woman, a self-described “courage coach” with a background in art, painting and yogic philosophy, may at least have a framework in place. It’s called “Man Camp.”

“Man Camp’s a one day event focused on building strong leaders—employees, husbands, fathers and community members,” says founder Amy Turner, whose organization, Courage Tribe, is producing the event. “It’s been created for men to come and connect across diverse industries and backgrounds, allowing them access to methods that reduce stress and anxiety, to visualize their future course, to come together in a space where they can learn techniques for authenticity.”

Pay attention to that word “courage,” says Turner. Its root word means “heart.” Through the Courage Tribe, which includes both men and women, she says, “We are igniting, teaching and spreading everyday courage—the connection to that heart space.”

These guys were getting real around the topic "Using Personal Fear as a Tool for Success," a discussion moderated by Man Camp presenter Todd Cover. Photo courtesy of Todd Cover.

of the people around—then they see it’s OK to seek growth opportunities in unique ways and to build themselves up, versus thinking that they need to be isolated and superhuman tough and have all the answers.

“That’s really counter to what’s being human.”

Man Camp’s an all-day event that includes a series of “work[play]shops.” The first has a rather female flair: “Masculinity and its Connection to the Feminine Spirit.” According to Turner, “It’s a time to understand, from a holistic perspective, character traits innate within each human being that can be developed and called upon in a variety of different situations to produce intentional or successful results.” This workshop’s combined with a session in the ancient practice of “Qi gong” – which includes posture, movement, breathing and meditation exercises. Qigong is Chinese for “life force cultivation.”

Later in the day, another workshop offers time to practice West African drumming, courtesy of djembe instructor David Visiko, who also conducts lessons out of his Bend home. What’s drumming got to do with Man Camp? “Participants will have an experiential opportunity to learn about masculine vulnerability while playing a traditional West African rhythm as a group,” he says. “I have found that people can enter a drum class or circle with hesitation, fear and uncertainty

and leave with smiles, joy and a strong, positive vibe.

“What inspired me to be a part of Man Camp was my appreciation of the efforts, energy and resources that Amy, as a woman, was putting forward to meet requests from men wishing that there was a male version of a woman’s Courage Tribe gathering,” he says.

Visiko believes that most men have a quest to be better than how news headlines define them.

“Men are often provided with messages to be sensitive, present, emotive, talkative and compassionate while at the same time, asked to adhere to negative stereotypes and ways of being a man—reinforced by both men and women,” he says. “I think this can cause great confusion in how to be. I am happy that the Man Camp event exists to provide a safer space to connect, discuss and strive toward a version of a healthier, powerful and loving masculinity within our Central Oregon communities.” SW Man Camp

The trouble with people and deer

commissioners should pass a similar law, and why our state legislators haven’t already done so is, in my opinion, beyond reason.

Walt Paul, who lived near Camp Polk, showed me my first cougar cache several years ago after he found where a cougar had killed a deer and dragged it off to bury it for a later meal. The deer was killed almost in Walt’s backyard—and he didn’t feed deer. When the cougar came back to get its deer, it was killed by the Oregom Department of Fish amd Wildlife, “just in case…”

“Mountain lion attacks bicyclist along trail,” blared a headline in a California newspaper a few years back. That same headline could be in our newspapers before long unless people stop inviting cougar to live underfoot.

Over the last two years, cougar have killed or maimed people in Colorado, California, Idaho and Canada with alarming regularity; some were hiking, others on bicycles, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out there are a lot of people recreating in cougar habitat all around Central Oregon.

Over the past two years, cougar sightings have increased around Central Oregon, many of them too close to homes for comfort. Need we be reminded that a hungry cougar—especially one with kittens—is a very bold and pernicious predator?

The math of cougar, deer and normal chances of contact between humans and cougar has been well worked out by wildlife biologists, so opening the season on cougar to cut down contact with humans won’t gain anything, except to make cougar-killers happy.

It’s been said that a cougar will kill two or three deer a week. If the cougar is a mom with kittens, the need for prey rises exponentially, and if a mule deer is not readily available, guess what…? Yes, it will be one of our dogs, horses, llamas, goats, sheep, house cats—or worst of all, an innocent child. Right in the middle of it will be ODFW, who will get the “blame.”

I know of several families with children who feed deer to keep them coming into their backyards. That is sheer stupidity! Feed stores sell “deer chow” by the sack, and I know of a family spending about $65

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 43 / October 26, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

f you take the time to read this column today you may not enjoy it; some of it is about misfortune and despair—but you can give it a happy ending.

I’m going to make a prophecy—though not quite as innocuous as Roger Tory Peterson’s of 1936, when he predicted the cattle egret, Bubulcus ibis, would some day populate the U.S. The cattle egret, which had arrived in South America earlier—presumably after flying across the Atlantic Ocean in a storm, or by island-hopping from Africa— would indeed colonize the U.S., five short years after Peterson’s prediction. In 1941, they arrived in Florida, and I observed the first known one reported in Oregon in 1965 on Sauvie Island, near Portland.

My prediction, meanwhile, does not involve birds, but instead, people and cougars. Within the next 10 years, I believe someone is going to be killed by a cougar in the Bend/Sisters area, and I fear it may be a child.

This will take place mainly because of the well-meaning people who are oblivious to the dangers they are creating by continually feeding mule deer and attracting them to their backyards. It will be worse this year because of the Milli Fire, which caused the utter destruction of thousands of acres of prime deer summer range.

Everything deer eat west of Sisters has been altered or destroyed by that fire—which means they’ll have to go back east to people’s backyards and irrigated fields, or keep going west to find food. Back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, through the use of bells and colored neck-collars placed on mule deer, biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Bend office learned that mule deer from this area did indeed make it all the way over the Cascades to Prospect, returning to Central Oregon in winter.

But those deer that come back to Bend and Sisters will become a noticeable nuisance, plundering kitchen gardens and landscaping, and if the cougar follow them it will make living around human habitation exciting.

Deer are already a pain in the you-know-what in Sisters—so much so the city passed an ordinance against feeding deer within the city limits. I believe county

Mule deer buck in the backyard—not a good idea.

a month to keep the deer around. They think it’s fun, and the deer probably think they’ve died and gone to heaven. But wildlife biologists will tell you what the mule deer are eating isn’t good for them, and it will not be much fun when the deer run out of food some cold winter day with snow a foot deep.

Deer, unlike birds, are large, unpredictable game animals that (normally) migrate between wintering habitat in the sagebrush and juniper to summer feeding grounds in the mountains. And cougar wander with them.

As Uncle Sam and Smokey Bear posters say, “IT’S UP TO YOU!” Please! STOP feeding deer and prove my predictions wrong. SW

if there has been a crime or violent incident, it will have been reported by some media outlet. Another useful website is www.diedinhouse.com. Trying to meet your prospective neighbors is always a good idea; they can be a wealth of information about the house and history and neighborhood issues as well as amenities.

In all fairness, an old home can be perceived as haunted when the issues are quite innocent, like cold drafts due to poor insulation or pests crawling in the walls and attic. Unseen raccoons, mice or rats could be the unseen ghost or a former resident that is moving things and making creaky and scratchy noises.

But in the end, if something does not feel right after researching, it’s probably best to trust your gut and look for a different home.

alloween is a time when many like to get spooked with ghost stories. Many of those stories center around haunted houses, so with that, let’s discuss buying a home in Oregon with a “history.”

Oregon real estate law does not require seller disclosure on deaths— whether natural or violent, brutal crimes or other things that may have occurred in a listed home. The typical haunted house candidate would be a home where somebody died with reports of people seeing ghosts, apparitions, strange occurrences, noises and the like.

To many people, a creepy history is a concern and would make a difference in their buying decision—so there are some ways to research your future home site. The most obvious is to perform an online search of the address of the home you wish to rent or purchase. Typically,

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Wipe That Green Off Your Face

I’m a very envious person, though I don’t act on it (meaning I don’t try to mess things up for people who are doing well). Where does envy stem from? How can I get rid of it?

—Begrudging Woman

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / October 26, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

42

You see a friend achieving some success and you say, “So happy for you. Well-deserved!” — which is a more polite way of saying, “I hope you are stricken with a rare deadly form of full-body adult acne.”

We think of envy as an ugly, counterproductive emotion, but it’s really just a tool, like a jackhammer or a blender. To understand this, it helps to understand that even emotions that make us feel crappy have a job to do — motivating us to act in ways that will help us survive and make a bunch of little buggers who’ll totter off through the generations, passing on our genes.

In other words, envy is adaptive. (Envy is a form of social comparison that probably evolved to help us keep tabs on how well we’re doing relative to our rivals. As evolutionary social psychologist Abraham (“Bram”) Buunk and his colleagues explain, envy pushes us to dial up our game so we can “narrow the gap” between ourselves and “the superior other” (aka that annoying co-worker who likes to start sentences with “Well, when I was at Harvard…”). So envy

is basically a social alarm clock: “Yoo-hoo… get cracking, girl! That witch is about to get that promotion, and you’ll be lucky to end up executive vice-scullery maid.”

Buunk and his team explain that there are actually two kinds of envy, malicious envy and benign envy. Each kind motivates people to try to shrink that “status gap” between themselves and others. The difference is in how. Benign envy pushes people to work harder in hopes of matching or beating the competition. Malicious envy is the nasty kind — the kind that motivates a person to loosen the ladder rungs, hoping to cause their golden-girl co-worker to topple to her (professional) death.

The upshot? Envy isn’t something to be ashamed of. You should just see that you use it in a positive way — as a tool for self-motivation instead of co-worker sabotage.

However, getting ahead isn’t just a solo act; it’s often a cooperative endeavor.

Amy Alkon To decide when to cooperate and when to compete, consider the level of “scarcity.” When resources are scarce — like when there’s just one job available — go after it with everything you’ve got (within ethical boundaries, of course). But when the rewards aren’t limited, it’s good to be the sort of person who brings along other people. This tends to make others more likely to do nice things for you in return — even helping you get ahead…and without your hiring a hacker to reprogram Miss Fabulous’ computer so her screen saver is a pic of the boss with a Hitler mustache.

“The Muppet Show,” puppets made out of fruits and vegetables sang parodies of the tune. That’s why I find it droll that the “No Bananas” songwriters stole part of the melody from the “Hallelujah Chorus,” the climax of classical composer George Handel’s religious oratorio “Messiah.” I’d love to see you engage in comparable transmutations, Taurus: making serious things amusing and vice versa. It’s a time when you can generate meaningful fun and playful progress through the art of reversal. Halloween costume suggestion: a tourist from Opposite Land or Bizarro World.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): How can you

weeks, you may have to navigate your way through careless gossip, distorted “facts,” superficial theories, hidden agendas, fake news, and official disinformation. To prevent problems in communication with people who matter, take advantage of the Halloween spirit in this way: Obtain a bicycle helmet and cover it with aluminum foil. Decorate it with an Ace of Clubs, a red rose, images of wrathful but benevolent superheroes, and a sign that says “No Bullshit Allowed.” By wearing this crown, you should remain protected.

If that’s too weird for you, do the next best thing: Vow to speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and ask to receive the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

enjoy the lavish thrills of rebirth later unless you die a little inside now? It’s the trickiest phase of your cycle, when your energies are best used to resolve and graduate from the unfinished business of the last ten months. I suggest that you put the past to rest as best as you can.

Don your funniest sad face and pay your last respects to the old ways and old days you’ll soon be leaving behind. Keep in mind that beauty will ultimately emerge from decay. Halloween costume suggestion: the mythical phoenix, which burns itself down, then resurrects itself from its own ashes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are no such things as magic healings and miraculous redemptions and impossible breakthroughs. Right?

Hard evidence provided by science precludes the existence of exotic help coming from spiritual realms. Right? Well, no. Not right. There is in fact another real world that overlaps the material world, and it operates according to different laws that are mostly imperceptible to our senses. But events in the other real world can have tangible effects in the material world. This is especially true for you right now. Take advantage! Seek practical answers and solutions in your dreams, meditations, visions, and numinous encounters. Halloween costume suggestion: white-magic sorcerer or good witch.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many years from now, in your last hours on earth, you will have visions that show you how all the events in your life were crucial to your life story. You will understand the lesson that was provided by each twist and turn of your destiny. Every piece of the gigantic puzzle will slip into place, revealing the truth of what your mission has been. And during that future climax, you may remember right now as a time when you got a long glimpse of the totality. Halloween costume suggestion: the happiest person on Earth; the sovereign of all you survey; the wise fool who understands yourself completely.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be able to pass for normal, but it will be better for your relationship with yourself if you don’t. You could try to tamp down your unusual urges and smooth your rough edges, but it will be smarter to regard those urges and edges as fertile raw material for your future happiness. Catch my drift? In the coming weeks, your main loyalty should be to your idiosyncratic intelligence. Halloween costume suggestion: the beautiful, interesting monster who lives in you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I share Vincent Van Gogh’s belief that “the best way to know life is to love many things.” But I also think that the next twelve months will be an inspiring time for you to be focused and single-minded in your involvement with love. That’s why I encourage you to take an approach articulated by the Russian mystic Anne Sophie Swetchine: “To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.” Halloween costume suggestion: a lover celebrating a sacred union to the love of your life, to God or Goddess, or to a symbol of your most sublime ideal.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Yes, We Have No Bananas” is a silly novelty song that became a big hit in 1923. Its absurdity led to its wide use for humorous effect. For example, on the kids’ TV series

SISTERS 43 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 43 / October 26, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “You never sing the same song twice,” said chanteuse Billie Holiday. “If you sing it with all the same phrasing and melody, you’re failing your art.” That’s an extreme statement, but I understand what she was driving at. Repeating yourself too much can be debilitating. That includes trying to draw inspiration from the same old sources that have worked in the past. I suggest you avoid this behavior in the coming days. Raise Holiday’s approach to a universal principle. Fresh sources of inspiration are available! Halloween costume suggestion: a persona or character unlike any you’ve ever imagined yourself to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the next two

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Watch out for a fake pizza-delivery driver who’s actually trying to issue you a legal summons. Be careful you don’t glimpse a blood red sky at dusk, in case it’s a prophetic sign that your cell phone will fall into a toilet sometime soon. Beware of the possibility that a large bird carrying a turtle to its nest accidentally drops its prey into a rain puddle near you, splashing mud on your fancy clothes. JUST KIDDING! All the scenarios I just described are stupid lies. The truth is, this should be one of the most worry-free times ever.

You’re welcome, of course, to dream up a host of scary fantasies if you find that entertaining, but I guarantee that they’ll be illusory. Halloween costume suggestion: an indomitable warrior.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What is the material object you want most but don’t have? This is an object that would serve your soul’s highest purposes, although not necessarily your ego’s. Here’s another question: What evocative symbol might help keep you inspired to fulfill your dreams over the course of the next five years? I suggest that you choose one or both of those things to be the inspiration for your Halloween costume.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Did you get a chance to go to circus school when you were a kid? How about magic school? Or maybe detective school or time-travel school or superhero school? Probably none of the above, right? Much of your education revolved around what you HAD to learn rather than what would be fun to learn. I’m not saying it was bad you were compelled to study subjects you felt ambivalent about. In the long run, it did you good. But now here’s some sweet news, Virgo: The next ten months will be a favorable time to get trainings and teachings in what you YEARN to learn. Halloween costume suggestion: a student.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is an excellent phase in your cycle to scour bathrooms, scrub floors, shampoo carpets, and wash windows. But the imminent future will be an even more favorable period to purify your motivations, tonify your emotions, purge your less-than-noble agendas, calm down your monkey mind and monkey heart, disinfect the moldy parts of your past, and fact-check the stories you tell about yourself. So which set of tasks should you focus on? It may be possible to make great strides on the second set as you carry out the first set. But if there’s not enough time and energy to do both, favor the second set. Halloween costume suggestion: a superhero who has wondrous cleaning powers; King Janitor or Queen Maid.

he doctor who issued my California medical marijuana card by phone three days prior told me this might happen.

“San Francisco dispensaries are way more liberal about letting cardholders without Cali IDs in than L.A. dispensaries, but you can use delivery services there.”

Way less liberal was a great way to describe the security guard who checked I.D.s at the door of the first L.A. dispensary I visited.

“THIS ISN’T GOING TO CUT IT, SIR!” he shouted through the bulletproof window. “YOU NEED A CALIFORNIA ID, OK? I CAN’T LET YOU IN WITHOUT THAT, OK?” “OK!” I hollered back, collected my I.D. and walked to the next Weed Maps-recommended dispensary that welcomed my pale Oregon self.

L.A. did not prove too much for the man, but it provided markedly different vibes and offerings in cannabis than San Francisco had given me earlier that week.

I was rejected by 17 dispensaries and accepted by three. Searching for “Now Prop 64 friendly!” was seemingly code for, “Fuck it, just come on in and buy some weed.”

Those who did welcome me ran the gamut. One had a $20 per gram veganic strain which had won multiple High Times cups, and offered me a small bag of 50 mg THC-infused salt and pepper potato chips as a first-time customer gift. It was very L.A., down to the valet outside the dispensary.

But the beauty of L.A. includes a wide range of diversity, both racial and socioeconomic, which is why my favorite dispensary was The Happy Cat Collective. It wasn’t fancy and the shelves were stocked with a focus on quality over quantity. The budtender had tried everything he suggested, and as a writer himself, had some outstanding suggestions for what I was seeking. The owner came out and chatted with me for a bit, and what I bought was a mere $10 per gram for well-cured organic flower.

The lack of pretentiousness and authentic friendly vibe was a welcome change from some of the self satisfied pomposity I had encountered at another

dispensary earlier that day.

I didn’t find any dispensaries that had onsite vapor lounges as I had in San Francisco, and despite my numerous email requests to a “cannabis speakeasy,” no one got back to me. (Fine, Showbiz Kids, I’ll get high by myself.)

Being a stranger in a strange land, I reached out to Nathan Mal, operations manager for “The California Weed Blog,” a resource I often access to keep up on California canna-news. He’s based in L.A, and I asked about what he believes is coming for cannabis in the Golden State.

“It’s a crap shoot here right now,“ he said. “Many growers and others are upset, confused or simply don’t care about entering the recreational marketplace come Jan. 1, none of which is good.

They are burnt out on trying to maneuver through the regulatory process, and are opting to maintain their status quo by simply not getting a license.”

He added that until it’s made legal on a national level, California faces the same issue as Oregon regarding supply, demand and profits. “There is more money to be made exporting the cannabis outside the state,” Mal said.

We talked about how California may push for pesticide testing rules that surpass Oregon’s, how certain counties have made it absurdly difficult for home growers (i.e the six plants must be grown indoors, expensive security systems must be put in place, the grow must be approved by the fire marshal, etc.), how widespread, near-daily consumption events may be sharply curtailed and other matters.

I asked him what would he most like California canna-people to know.

“To combat the huge concern that anyone who does NOT have a cannabis business license come Jan. 1 will be shut down. That’s simply not the case. They should wait in line and apply, because the state is far more concerned over “bad actors” than people legitimately trying to transition into the new marketplace. They will take action on growers illegally clearing land, diverting water, and spilling pesticides before they will shut down someone making an effort to be a compliant licensee.”
