—Ted Suen In Jim Anderson’s article on “Killing Wildlife for Fun,” he describes himself as a hunter and trapper before stating his case against sport killing animals for fun. I understand the tactic of presenting yourself as “one of them” but let’s be very clear: trapping is one of the most vile, cruel and barbaric activities men have ever conjured up. It is heartbreaking to know that it is still legal in the United States (it’s banned in more than one hundred more progressive countries) not only because we live in an age of extinction but simply for the horrific way the victims suffer. It’s high time promoting this as being anywhere close to acceptable is exposed for what it is—ignorant perpetuation of a crime that should not be tolerated by anyone with an ounce of compassion.

TRAPPING DOESN’T MAKE YOU CREDIBLE

OPINION WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / November 10, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

6

Way to do just OK, U.S. of A. If you voted during this election season, thank you. As a citizen of this great (and flawed) nation, you’ve done the minimum that all of us should do this season. Way to do your part.

As we write this, it is Tuesday afternoon—mere hours before the ballot boxes close. As you read this, some of you will be filled with mild delight at the results of the election. Others will feel disgust. One of your mildly exciting candidates has won; the other sits, exhausted, and perhaps a bit relieved it’s all over. To say this has been a gong show of an election season is an understatement. (It would be nice if this actually were a gong show, because that may have meant that at least one of the presidential candidates would have been gonged off by now.)

In an election year in which we’ve been forced to choose between the lesser of evils, when we’ve had unfit— and in the case of a local candidate or two, even dangerously unsuitable candidates rammed down our throats—the best we can feel at this moment is mildly satisfied or dissatisfied. Wildly triumphant we cannot be right now. It just wasn’t that type of election.

And while you may have done your part as a voter, we believe the parties, the candidates and even the current legislators at the state level have not.

This election was a sorry example of how not to do an election season.

Let us elaborate, beginning with the parties.

It’s quite clear that the Republican party has had some ups and downs by choosing the Orange Man as its candidate—but that’s far from the only travesty in party politics we’ve seen this season. At the local level, we’ve been dismayed time after time by the local parties’ failure to groom candidates… and their failure to guide them on the issues and the path to success.

Some of the local candidates are great people who would make good legislators—if only they were running in the right race. Before placing a candidate on a party slate card, local parties

would do well to vet every one of their candidates. When a party is forced to excommunicate a candidate late in the game, we put that on the party, not the candidate.

We also learned how not to handle an election season by looking at one of the measures our state legislature has brought us. In the case of Measure 97, we thank you, Salem, for your attempt at filling the gaps in education, senior services and healthcare. That’s neat— but had you made the measure more airtight by adding more exemptions and more definitive language around how the money would be spent, the naysayers may have had less to complain about on TV commercials.

Sigh.

In the city of Bend, meanwhile, where people continually complain about the decisions of our leadership, we’ve seen a decided lack of interest in entering the races that matter. We gotta put that partly on the parties once again, for not identifying and grooming suitable candidates for positions such as City Council, but we’re also putting that on an electorate that’s Johnny-on-the-spot when it comes to bitching, but less forthcoming when it comes to actually solving problems.

We need more of you to put your hat in the ring, to be apprised of the issues, and to participate in the process. How to start? Join a committee within the parks, city, schools or county structure, and then work your way up the ladder to an elected position. That’s how it’s done.

This election has been nothing if not a spectacle, especially at the national level. And while the national stage has brought us many moments of lament, it’s also there that we’ve seen perhaps the one bright light. At the Democratic Convention in July, it was First Lady Michelle Obama who said, “Our motto is, when they go low, we go high.” Amid the mire of vitriol we’ve seen this election season, it is her words that we hope will live on.

As we move on from this election season, let us all remember to go high. SW

$EPTIC $HOCK

Whether you’re a homebuyer or seller, you should probably know about the 300-foot sewer rule—costing people tens of thousands in SE Bend.

O

wning a home typically has its payoffs. Pay the mortgage for 20 or 30 years, take care of the place... and then cash in when it’s finally time to sell.

But in Bend’s Old Farm District, owners of some older established homes are getting some harsh news from the City of Bend—tossing that typical homeowner payoff out the window. For many of them, it could cost tens of thousands of dollars per household as they are forced to connect to the city’s sewer system.

Carolyn Crawford and Glenda Maddox, sisters who own a home they are trying to sell on SE Tapadera Street, are grappling with that reality right now.

line. But at the last minute, the buyer backed out of the sale over uncertainty about the situation.

The sisters and their realtor Cindy Robertson say there have been more failed sales since—all because they are now required by the State of Oregon to move from septic to the more expensive sewer hookup. Crawford is a retired Pacific Power meter reader forced onto disability retirement.

She and her sister want to downsize and move to a 55-plus living situation where they would have less upkeep and lower living costs. They had already put down earnest money on their new home when they received the bad news.

the City has been discussing it with residents for years.

SE Interceptor: Making More Homes Qualify for the 300-Foot Rule

The cost is also stunning to City Councilor Sally Russell and Council candidate Justin Livingston. In addition to the Old Farm neighborhood, Livingston is worried about residents in the nearby Kings Forest and Desert Woods areas.

“With the construction of the SE Interceptor, all of a sudden a lot of properties come within 300-feet of that sewer line by the end of next year.

There are about 800 homes that could be affected. It’s going to create a problem real quick,” he says.

Livingston is also critical of city leaders, stating the area in question has been annexed to the city since 1998.

“Why hasn’t this been a conversation before now?” he asks.

Glenda Maddox thinks the City of Bend has an obligation to pay for sewer hookups for homes such as hers because the city annexed the area.

"There are about 800 homes that could be affected. It's —JUSTIN LIVINGSTON going to create a problem real quick."

“I was told it would cost $50,000 or more for the sewer hookup,” says Crawford. A new septic tank, meanwhile, would cost just $4,000. The sisters recently had a buyer interested in their home. In the interest of getting the home sold, Crawford says she was willing to dip into her IRA retirement funds to pay the cost of running a line 100 feet to connect with the city’s SE Interceptor sewer

A Required Move State law requires the move from septic to sewer. Bend City Engineer Ryan Oster says, “As the city has annexed and grown, there are thousands of residents still on septic in the city of Bend.” Most of them are in Southeast Bend and the Old Farm District. “It’s just not safe to be on a septic system anymore and we need to get them off,” Oster says.

Letdo theu�

State law mandates the move from individual septic systems to collective sewers for homes within 300-feet of sewer lines. That means serious losses for home sellers, including Carolyn Crawford and Glenda Maddox.

BY BRIAN JENNINGS

According to Oster, state statute requires any single family dwelling where the septic system is failing to connect to the city’s sewer, if they are within 300-feet of the system. That means sisters Crawford and Maddox— and many other residents in the area whose septic systems are failing with age—must comply. Other Oregon cities have grappled with the same problem over the years, but with Bend’s recent growth and development, the reality is suddenly setting in here.

According to Oster, the cost varies depending on terrain and the amount of rock encountered when trenching the lines. He estimates that the cost can range between $40,000 and $80,000 per home.

In the sisters’ case they have to bear the full cost of trenching to their corner lot on Tapadera, one long block off Southeast Murphy. Other neighbors would not have to participate and share in the cost because their septic systems haven’t failed—yet.

Many residents, including Maddox and Crawford, feel blindsided by the news.

But from Oster’s perspective, he says

$eptic $hock, continued...

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / November 10, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

10

When asked if the city has an obligation to pay, Oster says it’s a discussion that needs to occur because of costs.

“The city doesn’t have a bank to put in a sewer system for the entire Kings Forest area. That’s a 50, 60, or even 70 million dollar project to get sewer for everybody in there. That’s why we’re having this more in-depth conversation now.”

Oster also says that the city doesn’t typically use rate-payer fees for such projects, but that could be an option.

Residents who pay for sewer service where they live often object if those fees are used for sewer construction in another part of town. “What we’d be saying is, ‘Thanks…You’ve been paying those fees. We’re gonna go build a sewer line on the south end of town now.’” Other options might include a joint financing plan where the city pays for a portion of the project and residents pay the rest. “There’s a compromise we’re hoping to get to,” he says.

LIDs Oster says a logical solution may be the formation of Local Improvement Districts, or LIDs. Residents, or even the city, can form LIDs to spread the cost of sewer installation over several years, with possible help from city financing and bonding.

Livingston and Councilor Russell agree that it’s a good solution. Russell wants to explore grant options and

SEA

says the city has access to low interest financing for projects. After meeting Maddox and Crawford at their home last week, Russell brought up the issue to fellow councilors, saying the Council needs to look closely at the issue. “We need to find solutions for you and a larger scale solution for everyone who is dropping into this situation,” she told the sisters.

Livingston says if the Old Farm District had formed an LID when it was annexed in 1998, it wouldn’t have cost residents nearly as much as it will now. “They could have saved for it over time instead of having a giant sticker shock all at once,” he says.

For Maddox and Crawford, solutions can’t come soon enough. On top of multiple failed sales, they’ve also lost earnest money set aside for other housing. It’s apparent that the process is wearing them down. “Nobody seems to want to touch the house under the circumstances. All we can do is keep praying for a miracle, and that’s what we’re doing,” a weary Maddox says.

Meanwhile, it’s also been difficult for realtor Robertson. “It was heart wrenching when we had the engineer and excavator there and, when they told us the dollar amount, we were just blindsided. People need to know this is coming.” SW

Inside the Malheur Trial

Wondering what the heck happened to result in the defendants’ acquittal?

We are, too. Read on to get an inside look.

By LeeAnn Kreigh

Source Weekly: The defendants were charged with conspiracy. What does that mean?

Tiffany Harris: The defendants were charged with Conspiracy to Impede Officers of the United States. Proving that charge meant the prosecution had to convince the jury that the defendants entered into an agreement to prevent U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and BLM employees from carrying out their official work through force, intimidation or threats. The crime is the alleged agreement itself. There was no evidence presented at trial that any federal employee was ever injured or threatened. The government didn’t have to prove that those acts ever occurred, only that the defendants conspired to commit those acts.

This particular law isn’t charged very often in modern times, and in my opinion, it was an odd choice for this case.

It was not a good fit. The prosecution could have charged criminal trespass, a misdemeanor, and the evidence was

readily available to make that case to a jury. But instead the government chose a more esoteric and severe charge.

SW: It sounds like there’s a difference between the common and legal definition of conspiracy.

TH: It’s a question of intent. The lynchpin of the case was our clients’ state of mind and what they agreed to do. If you believed they went to the refuge with the intent to prevent federal employees from doing their jobs through threat, force or intimidation, then you’d find them guilty.

But the people who testified made a good case that they went to the refuge to protest the imprisonment of the Hammonds (Steven and Dwight Hammond, Harney county ranchers who returned to prison in January to serve extended prison terms) and the larger issue of government overreach in the ways federal lands are managed. They weren’t thinking about the employees. In their press conferences and other media conversations, they were talking about the plight of the Hammonds and finding more equitable ways to deal with federal land mandates.

What I believe, and the jury seems to have agreed with, is that the defendants’ actions had nothing to do with preventing fish biologists or BLM managers from reporting to work. The defendants in this case were trying to make a larger statement.

SW: But the effect of their actions…

TH: The effect of their protest may have been to prevent federal employees from reporting to work. I think the prosecution conflated effect versus intent, but the jury rigorously followed the jury instructions in defining conspiracy and apply-

ing the facts presented at trial to legal standards.

SW: So the case hinged on intent, regardless of the effects of their actions?

TH: Right, what happened was that U.S. Fish & Wildlife instructed their employees to stay home instead of returning to the refuge after their New Year’s vacations. The effect of that was that nobody showed up at work.

SW: But presumably they didn’t show up out of fear because the refuge was controlled by armed occupiers.

TH: True, but the law requires more than identifying the effect. At trial, Ammon Bundy’s attorney used the analogy of buying the last can of chili at a grocery store. You don’t intend to inconvenience the next customer who enters the store who may be starving and can’t eat anything but chili. Your intent and the outcome are two separate issues.

SW: If employees had shown up, which would have been frightening given the circumstances, there might have been a different outcome?

TH: At least two witnesses testified that a contractor or employee did show up— one of them said that person performed regular maintenance at the refuge and then left without incident. If the defendants had a vendetta against workaday employees at the refuge, the evidence of a conspiracy would have been more compelling. And yes—if an employee had shown up and been threatened or harmed, that may have led to better evidence of the charged conspiracy or a different or even more serious charge.

But that’s not what happened here.

Cleared Malheur defendant Shawna Cox.

SW: Could the prosecution have charged the defendants with conspiracy as well as lesser charges, or was it all-or-nothing?

TH: They can indeed charge little crimes along with big crimes in the same indictment. But then they have to be prepared for a jury to find the defendants guilty of the little stuff instead of the big stuff—you could call that a compromise verdict. In this case, they left the jury with an all-or-nothing decision and the jury—after applying the facts to the law—decided on nothing. That was a conscious roll of the dice by the government. SW

It’s goofy fun hip-hop music at a time when the genre could frankly use it. // 8pm.

Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $12-$15.

ROCK—The hometown boys who made good are returning to Bend for a show at Volcanic. With their signature mashup of bluegrass and punk, LAHF play shows that people remember for years to come.

They don’t play locally as often as they used to, so any chance to catch LAHF on their home turf should be grabbed with both hands. // 9pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $12-$15.

LEO KOTTKE

ANDY MCKEE

PICKIN'—Having grown up in 12 different states before settling in the bustling metropolis of the Twin Cities (where he’s a fixture of the local folk scene), Leo Kottke’s style is nothing if it’s not eclectic.

There’s a little blues, a little jazz and a bit of folk thrown in there, too—all sounds which are what The Belfry does best, right? // 8pm. The Belfry, 302 Main St., Sisters. $43 adv., $47 door.

TWO-HANDED GUITAR—Take one look at McKee’s main musical instrument and at the very least, you’ll be heading over to YouTube to see how he plays that thing.

With a “harp guitar” and a two-handed technique, this is a musician’s musician who’s skilled at tapping, altered tunings, creative capo-ing and more. Definitely check it. // 7:30pm. Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend. $24.50-37.50.

With music from Americana band Coyote Willow from 4-6pm and Portland bluegrass faves Freak Mountain Ramblers at 7pm, it’s going to be one fun birthday. // 4-10pm. McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 NW Bond St., Bend. No cover.

The Prodigal Sons Return It’s a LAHF riot

arry and his Flask have shifted and evolved as a band in the nearly 15 years they’ve been together.

Bend’s favorite local band several years running started out leaning more punk, then eventually more bluegrass, until finally finding a perfect symbiosis of both. As they exploded on the music scene playing the Warped Tour and touring with bands like Streetlight Manifesto and Dropkick Murphys, the number of local shows slowed down.

The prodigal sons return next week for their first Bend show since March, but playing Central Oregon is still very important to the band. “Right now I live on a small island in the Caribbean

at play. I have had wonderful shows in tiny basements with a few people watching and I have had wonderful shows at huge outdoor festivals with 5,000 people in attendance. On the other hand I’ve had terrible shows that by all rights should have been my best.

But I think it has more to do with the vibe of the crowd and my own personal headspace than anything else.”

The evolution of their sound happened so gradually that it was hard to notice until they were already walking the line of punk and bluegrass. “I think for us it was more of a natural progression of our sound,” says Marshall. “You could even call it

"Sometimes change is painful and difficult but for us; I think it has worked out great." -Jamin Marshall and I hardly ever get to play music with the guys,” says drummer Jamin Marshall. “Also, it’s always a ton of fun to play a show for the hometown crowd. Central Oregon is our home base and it’s where we began this crazy musical journey, so it’s a special occasion to be able to come back and rock out with our friends and family.

It’s all about the love of music and the community that we are a part of.”

Marshall looks at each stage he plays as a unique experience. “Every different stage has potential,” says Marshall. “Every show can be terrific or horrific. There are so many factors

a happy accident. When our members would need to leave for personal reasons it would force us to adapt and change. We added members and therefore brought their own unique sound to the table. Sometimes change is painful and difficult but for us; I think it has worked out great.”

There hasn’t been a new LAHF album since 2013’s “By the Lamplight,” but maybe we won’t have to wait much longer. “All I can say about that is that we are working on two band new songs and we will make them available as soon as we get them completed,” says Marshall. “As a matter of fact I’m going

into the studio tonight to lay down the drums. And a full length album will be in the works some day soon.”

Whether we get them constantly or only a couple of times a year, it’s always good to have LAHF back. SW

“W

e grew up on the South Side of Chicago during the ‘80s, when the crack epidemic was at its highest. And we were exposed to the tragic deterioration it imposed on our community,” describes trumpeter Gabriel “Hudah” Hubert. “But we had an escape because our parents offered us many gifts. Through teaching us bits and pieces about health, astronomy, world musical and artistic culture, and other subjects, our parents gave us a head start over our peers.”

Led by father and jazz trumpeter Phil Cohran, it was the musical education that was most strictly enforced, and which has undoubtedly opened the most doors for the seven brothers that now comprise the funky, upbeat Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Cohran, best known for his work with the Sun Ra Arkestra, put horns in his boys’ hands at young ages, touring the country as the Phil Cohran Youth Ensemble. And while much deserved credit is given to the patriarch for their sonic rearing, with some 25 brothers and sisters total in the family, the mothers played an important, albeit less publicized, part.

“Our mothers’ roles were integral to us being ready for 6 am rehearsals,” Hubert explains. Beyond dressing and feeding the kids, they were also responsible for “making sure we remembered and digested our lessons given by our father. Because our mothers were musicians, it made it easier for our father to convey his thoughts because they reinforced what he said.”

This upbringing instilled a vision within the brothers—one full of

music, rock-solid values, education and a strong work ethic, all of which enabled them to see what was possible in life beyond their present circumstances. As the boys became men and ceased playing with their dad in an effort to discover their own soulful, jazz-filled and hip-hop-influenced sound, they became the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and went on to accompany the likes of Prince, Mos Def and Gorillaz on stages and recordings.

They’ve sought to tell their story in the recent documentary, "Brothers Hypnotic," as well as pass on their principles during performances and in classrooms. Participating in education, HBE will offer a workshop for local middle and high school students in Sisters, culminating in the group playing their Hunger Games-featured cut, “War,” with the student musicians.

As for their own family’s legacy, members of the coming generation may continue the tradition and the brothers are ready “to be there to reiterate our lessons,” Hubert says.

“Some of our children naturally gravitated towards music and are innately carrying the torch.” Yet music or not, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble’s most solid foundation comes from their youth: the “desire for more and not settling for what’s tangible today.” SW Sisters Folk Festival presents Hypnotic Brass Ensemble Thursday, Nov. 17, 7pm Sisters High School, 1700 McKinney Butte Rd., Sisters $15 adults, $10 students All ages

During a presidential election year, the issues plaguing our country, our state and our smaller communities tend to get thrown in our faces with extra fervor.

FOR THIS YEAR’S GIVE GUIDE, WE’VE IDENTIFIED FOUR AREAS OF BIGGEST CONCERN FOR PEOPLE IN CENTRAL OREGON: Affordable housing Homelessness Education Women’s Issues

Education

BUILDING SKILLS AND STIMULATING ECONOMIC GROWTH WHEN IT COMES TO IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, HEART OF OREGON CORPS IS WALKING THE WALK.

BY NICOLE VULCAN

A

s reported in the Source Weekly Oct. 19, Oregon’s graduation rate improved from 2014 to 2015, increasing from 72 to 73.8 percent. But even with that increase, our state still ranked third-worst in the nation. Meanwhile, local employers continually lament the lack of tangible job skills among Oregon graduates.

Adequate funding for our public schools is one way to tackle the issue— but that’s not the only one. In Central Oregon, Heart of Oregon Corps is a shining example of how to meet the needs of young people who may not fit into the traditional school setting, or who may have family or social issues that keep them from succeeding.

The organization uses a “work-earnlearn” model to support the 16 to 24 year participants from the tri-county area. Many participants deal with poverty, substance abuse, homelessness, disabilities or a lack of parental guidance, which causes them to struggle in a traditional school setting.

The organization’s six programs include YouthBuild, in which youth take part in construction projects that teach them hands-on trade skills while working on affordable hous-

ing projects. Meanwhile, the Youth Conservation Corps, Americorps and the Stewardship programs give participants hands-on skills in environmental or forest-related projects. In the Thrift Store program, participants gain retail skills.

When youth enter the program they begin in a classroom setting, typically working toward a GED or diploma. As they move through the one-year program, participants do more hands-on training. To combat the issue of poverty that made school success difficult for many in the first place, each participant earns a stipend.

“What we’re doing with them is we’re actually teaching them the soft skills,” says Program Director Kara Johnson. “We have young people who want to be nurses…there’s some that are going to college and there’s some who are going back to high school… and there’s some, they’re ready to make money.”

During this election cycle, a lot of educational conversations circled around the need for a more job-ready workforce. Legislators took aim at the issue with Measure 98, meant to fund dropout prevention and career and

college readiness. Johnson says Heart of Oregon Corps’ efforts are yet another way to tackle those problems.

“What a lot of these young people are missing is that hands-on in the schools. That vocational training.

That’s what’s missing for them. And when they come to us, we’re giving them that,” says Johnson.

Scott Powell, 18, is a participant in the YouthBuild program, which he began in January. Powell, a former student at Madras High School, says he was about a year behind in credits when he found Heart of Oregon Corps.

“Before I came to YouthBuild… I slacked off, I didn’t pay attention to the teachers and just had a general bad attitude towards other students,” Powell says. “I had no plan. I was just basically going off the fact that I didn’t want to do anything more than what I was doing, which was basically nothing,” Powell laments.

Powell says the small-group structure and the team-building activities the group did at the start of the

program forced him to engage in ways he hadn’t done before—and that fostered a new level of accountability that led to his current success. Today, he’s on track to finish high school and to join an apprenticeship program for electricians. He’s also a leader in the program’s Youth Policy Council.

Powell has this to say to young people who may be where he once was: “Take a look at your life, what you’re doing and take a look at someone you view as a role model, and if you’re not doing the steps that at least will remind you of what they’re doing, then you’re not going to get the same goal that they got.” SW

We know the issues are out there all the time, but as we’ve just seen, our political candidates often elevate the problems in order to further their own agendas—and we all get swept up in the madness.

When the political dust settles, we have Hope for Change. We want to be Stronger Together. We pray America will be great again.

But if you’ve been paying attention for more than a single election cycle, you know that our problems can’t all be fixed at the county, the state or the national level. Legislators and legislation can only go so far.

But wait—don’t cast yourself into despair just yet. Within your hands there is still the power to affect change. It starts by first understanding the issues most pressing for your region, and from there, knowing who or what to support to make

things better. In other words, you can work for change with your time and your wallet, by supporting the organizations already on the front lines.

For this year’s Give Guide, we’ve identified four areas of biggest concern for people in Central Oregon. They’re far from the only issues we face here, but they’re ones that continually stand in the way of success for our most vulnerable residents. When you understand the issues and why they’re important, you’ll be better equipped to change them.

Inside this guide you’ll learn about the people and organizations working to combat Central Oregon’s biggest issues. We hope that you use these pages to learn, to share, and then to work for change with your very own wallet.

Affordable Housing

HOUSING THAT WON’T BREAK THE BANK LOCAL EFFORTS TACKLE THE ISSUE OF AFFORDABILITY

BY RUSS AXON

O

ne of the biggest issues facing Bend today is the lack of affordable housing. At the root of the problem: the large discrepancy between the median income and the median home price. According to the 2015 American Community Survey released by the U.S. Census, the median household income in Bend is $57,373.

That’s $2,000 above the national median, and a 17 percent increase from three years ago. Meanwhile, the cost of homes spiked along with the income. The median home price in Bend jumped from $288,900 in 2014 to $355,200 in 2015, one of the highest increases in the country. Meanwhile, the price of land is at a premium.

This already-large gap between funds and costs is exacerbated for many residents who fall into “low income” (those who make under 80 percent of the median income) and “super low income” (under 50 percent) brackets. This includes many working class residents such as teachers, nurses and small business owners.

But it’s not all doom and gloom, because there are public and private sectors working on solutions that

(CLT) model works by giving residents ownership of the housing units while the trust maintains ownership of the land. This allows residents to experience the benefits of ownership, and the trust to sell the homes at a fixed price using an equation based on the area median income.

This model targets the needs of low and super low-income residents. Kôr plans to sell 40 percent of its units to low-income residents and 35 percent to super low-income residents, with the remaining 25 percent available for those near the median household income.

Kôr’s housing units will also be sustainable, using solar and low energy technology to keep costs low for homeowners, further increasing their affordability. The city recently awarded the nonprofit Affordable Housing Fee Funds, and Kôr is currently looking for land to build on.

With a mix of short and long-term ideas already in play, Bend is on track to start truly tackling the affordable housing issue over the next several years. SW

target this discrepancy. The City of Bend’s Affordable Housing Department offers incentives and programs that address the issue. The department’s website lists several housing-related goals for the next five years as part of the city’s broader economic development plan. This includes building 100 units of affordable housing each year from 2015 to 2017. By definition, an “affordable house” requires the resident(s) to not spend more than 30 percent of the household income on housing-related expenses (e.g. mortgages, insurance and essential utilities for homebuyers; rent and essential utilities for renters).

Additionally, the Affordable Housing Developer Incentive Program was established in 2003. The program encourages development by offering an expedited review and permitting process, as well as deferrals and loans on system development charges.

Other community groups and businesses are experimenting with creative solutions. Kôr Community Land Trust is a nonprofit group that plans to build affordable homes that can be sold in perpetuity. The community land trust

his past September, for the first time in 20 years, the Women’s Foundation of Oregon released Count Her In—a comprehensive, data-driven report about Oregon’s women and girls. The findings were sobering and revealed inequities that pose immense challenges for girls and women in the state. Two of the more startling issues included wage disparity and the overwhelming prevalence of sexual and domestic violence.

According to Count Her In, Oregon women earn between 53 and 83 cents for every dollar men in Oregon earn.

Just as jarring is the finding that over half of the state’s females have experienced some form of sexual or domestic violence—one of the highest rates in the country. Saving Grace and World Muse are two local nonprofits that are addressing the issues outlined in the report, providing programs designed to raise awareness while protecting and empowering local women.

Saving Grace Saving Grace offers a wide range of crucial prevention, emergency and support services for those who have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human

trafficking. It serves approximately 5,000 clients each year—the vast majority of which are women and children.

Individuals in crisis have access to emergency shelter, free therapy, support groups, a supervised visitation and exchange center (Mary’s Place), safety planning, court advocacy, trauma-informed childcare, youth violence prevention education and more through Saving Grace programs.

Outreach Coordinator for Saving Grace, Erin Rook, says what he found most surprising about the Count Her in Report was how deadly 2016 has been for women. He says, “As of the report’s…release, 18 women had been killed by men—including women in Deschutes and Jefferson counties.

That’s equal to the number of women killed in domestic violence homicides in all of 2015.”

World Muse World Muse was founded by Amanda Stuermer seven years ago and addresses women’s issues through year-round programming. Stuermer believes women and girls have the potential to create positive social change, so she developed programs,

including travel opportunities that expand awareness of issues affecting women and girls globally, salons designed to bring attention to issues facing females in the local community, and talking circles, Muse Meetups, and Teen Muse clubs in schools that engage the community in conversations around women’s issues.

Muse also creates campaigns like #MuseOnThis, which gave members of the community an opportunity to share their feelings about the current political dialogue and how it perpetuates sexism, misogyny and violence against women.

Stuermer says, “…it was time to change the conversation to one that exposes truth and inspires us to all be a part of the change we want to see in this world.” Perhaps most importantly, Muse programs are designed to empower individuals to take action and bring about the change they want to see, because, Stuermer says, “When we make the world a better place for women and girls, we make the world a better place, period.” SW Saving Grace Saving-Grace.org

programs for youth who lack adequate parental support.

Cascade Youth & Family Center, Safe Families for Children, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the flagship J Bar J Boys Ranch are some of the programs that Gow helps direct. The organization also offers a street outreach program to locate and serve kids who have no options for safe, warm shelter.

In addition to sleeping quarters, there’s a full service kitchen, a great room for gathering and interaction, laundry facilities and more. Staying

in the shelter means a highly structured regimen for the kids. As well as learning life skills, kids are tasked with regular chores including cleaning and cooking and participating in a community service project. Each youth also works on goals and designs a plan for the next steps in their lives. “No kid comes into this program with the same issues, background and challenges,” Gow says.

There is a 6 pm curfew, and privileges to stay out later are earned. Every Wednesday is “Family Day” when teens learn independent living skills, accompanied by a family-style dinner.

School is always a component, whether it’s trade school, high school or entering college. An employment coordinator helps kids with job searches, writing resumes and practicing for job interviews.

Kids’ coursework also includes budgeting skills. Once they get a job, Gow says, “They put 80 percent of their paycheck into a savings account so that when they move out they have a nest egg.” When they do move out, the young people can still use the center as a resource.

Gow admits that some days can be heartbreaking due to circumstances that led to young people becoming homeless, living on the streets or in cars.

But she also says that many days are positive, as she sees kids learn the value of self-worth and a positive plan. “Every child deserves that chance,” she says. SW

ffordable housing continues to be a major issue plaguing many cities in Oregon. Whether it’s through no-fault evictions, rent increases—or, in the case of the area’s young people— conflicts within the home, Central Oregon’s less-than-1-percent vacancy rate for rental housing can mean difficult times for some of the area’s youngest homeless, who typically don’t have high-paying jobs of their own.

SAFE FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN CENTRAL OREGON WHO WE ARE Families facing crisis often feel alone and hopeless. Safe Families for Children Central Oregon helps families by providing mentoring relationships for parents and temporary housing for children in times of need. In partnership with local churches, volunteers build connections with families in need and open their homes to children. While their children are safe, parents can address the difficult season of life. Problems such as addiction, domestic abuse, illness, unemployment or homelessness can make it impossible for parents to care for their children. Children are especially at-risk for neglect or abuse as their parents struggle to cope with difficult circumstances and emotions. Safe Families keeps children safe and gives families hope.

OUR HISTORY

We began as a group of trekkers caught in the 7.9 Nepal earthquake who wanted to make a difference.

Our team began delivering aid to villages shortly after the first earthquake and we supplied emergency shelter, essential foods and crucial medical supplies. Along with other projects, we completed our first school rebuild in February 2016 and hope to continue supporting rebuilding efforts and fostering the sustainable development of rural communities through education.

WHY US

We assess the needs of every community we enter to evaluate what is needed most and foremost, whether it be an educational center, survival materials, solar energy, a clean air initiative, water, anitation or more. We look to fill the gaps that larger NGO’s find difficult to access due to bureaucracy and logistics. As one of the least developed and poorest nations in the world, Nepal cannot do this without the support of people like you. If just 100 people contributed $200 to our campaign, we could enact life changing projects to those in need. Be the vehicle to enact powerful change. Be one of the 100, and donate to our projects today.

2015 - 2017 Projects Pokhari-Nibot School Rebuild Volunteers rebuilt a collapsed school near the earthquake epicenter. Built using earthbags - an eco friendly, seismic resistant method, it was also outfitted with solar - a first for an area with no electricity.

Nyingmar Monastery Project 2017 Supporting the rebuilding of dormitories for 350 student and orphaned monks on the Nepal/Tibet border. This is an extremely remote location that requires extensive material and labor support provided by PHPI volunteers.

Clean Air Initiative 2016 Indoor air pollution is the second deadliest killer of women and children in underdeveloped nations. We manufactured and distributed stoves to 53 families for indoor cooking. We hope to reduce the amount of chronic respiratory conditions providing healthy, happy environments for all.

A four room earthbag school costs $25,000. $50 Backpack and school uniform for one child. $75 3 burner clean air stove $125 School supplies and books for one class. $250 New desks for one classroom. $500 Solar panels to power a four room school. $750 College tuition for one semester $1,500 Roofing materials for school.

Where Old Soldiers Go to Roam

Central Oregon Veterans Ranch takes a hands-on approach to vets’ recovery

45

By Brian Jennings

C

Central Oregon Veterans Ranch Veterans find support and healing in an agricultural setting on a sheep farm north of Bend.

Outreach before volunteering at the ranch.

Wray Harris, who served in Iraq, says the rural setting feeds his soul.

“This is a place where I can be around people who, when something goes wrong, they will actually do something in a hands-on situation to remedy a problem.”

Alison Perry, along with a financial partner, helped to found the ranch.

Before this, she worked with the Veteran’s Administration in Portland, finding that the traditional clinical approach was not entirely meeting vets’ needs. Instead of more of the traditional medical model, Perry wanted a holistic environment that would help heal and nurture veterans.

The former model, Perry says, was one “that looks at you as having a medical disorder and needing to be medicated and fixed.”

It might not scream “holistic,” but eventually Perry settled on a sheep

ranch. Perry, along with her financial partner, closed on a Central Oregon ranch in April 2015.

In addition to its current function, Perry says the ranch has recently completed an application to become an adult foster care facility beginning in 2017. Plans include housing for up to four terminally-ill veterans or veterans who have no family. “Typically, some of these veterans want other veterans around at the end of their lives. They often see other veterans as their true family,” she explains.

The Central Oregon Veterans Ranch is one of only a few such organizations in the nation to receive a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help expand its outreach. SW Central Oregon Veterans Ranch

Local Storytellers Take a Risk “To Tell The Truth…”

ome say variety is the spice of life.

In Central Oregon, Two Twisted Sisters Productions is aiming to prove that true—especially when it comes to live theater. Their second installment of “To Tell The Truth—a Gathering of Local Storytellers” hits the stage at the Old Stone Church Nov. 12, promising to take the audience and the storytellers on a new kind of adventure in local entertainment.

Cohen says, “I think what we’re trying to do is something that there’s a lack of in town and that’s spoken word—a tradition of storytelling that’s been lost in the media age.” He explains that the intention is to create a show with an authentic element of surprise, one in which the audience doesn’t know what the whole show is about before it begins.

The Two Twisted Sisters have curated an eclectic lineup of acts that range from well-seasoned to new performers, each telling stories in their unique way. Cohen says, “These people get up and tell their story and don’t

know how the audience is going to respond. The performers are taking a risk similar to the audience’s. Everyone is on an adventure together.”

Some of the performers who will be featured at the second edition of “To Tell The Truth” are singer Patty Davis; travel and food writer John Anderson; president of The Marketing Department Anne Marie Daggett; designer, musician and actor Dave Finch; public speaking and motivational coach Joanne Mathews; optometrist and actor Dr. Michael Coffman; and special musical guest Eric Troup.

Each performer will have between seven and 10 minutes and can’t use notes or prompts. SW To Tell The Truth

ne way to deal with the trauma of combat is to enter therapy. Yet another way: Scooping piles of pig crap.

On a 19-acre spread between Bend and Redmond, a group of Central Oregon military veterans are establishing their own non-traditional support group. Rather than receiving assistance in a clinical fashion, the vets have found a place where they can enjoy the camaraderie and support of other veterans—all while shoveling manure.

“I have severe PTSD, and I’d rather go scoop pig shit than deal with a lot of people in the community,” says retired Col. Pam Mindt, who served in numerous deployments in two combat zones. Mindt is one of several veterans we met at the Central Oregon Veterans Ranch, located near Highway 97.

Mindt voluntarily labors at many of the outdoor chores at the ranch, caring for the herds of sheep, pigs and other animals used as food and revenue for the nonprofit. “We have three hives of bees—Navy, Army, and Marines—for honey production,” Mindt points out, a smile on her face.

During a tour of the ranch, a group of veterans huddled around an outdoor stove grilling cheese sandwiches and enjoying the heat from the grill as heavy rain came down.

Jim Montoya is a retired Navy Vietnam-era vet who moved to Central Oregon from Colorado. “I can do whatever at the ranch and it’s just nice to have the camaraderie of other vets,” he says. Montoya had volunteered with Central Oregon Veteran’s

Italian Food: Central Oregon Style

ne thing that makes Pasta House interesting: It’s trying something different in an area mostly known for chain restaurants and retail. Situated in the Bend Factory stores mall, Pasta House has moved in where a Mexican restaurant that didn’t stick around long enough to register used to be. The ambience is relaxing and the space impeccably neat and clean, with a rounded entrance into the bar area being the only thing betraying the location’s earlier incarnation.

To start with, we loved the wait staff—always friendly and accommodating, without being intrusive or cloying. I finished a soda and within seconds a new one was in front of me.

If the Pasta House is hiring people with mild psychic ability, then the service industry is about to be revolutionized.

One initial disappointment was the lack of a happy hour. The main page of the Pasta House website says happy hour is 4 to 6pm. We arrived around 4:15, so I’m not sure if they’re still so new they haven’t launched the menu for it yet, or whether it’s a quick (and effective) ploy to get folks through the door. There was a menu for the daily specials, a menu for a three-course pairing and the regular menu, but no happy hour to be found.

Their price points are mostly high, excluding themselves from a comparison to Pastini, Carino’s and Olive Garden. In terms of pricing they’re on par with Trattoria Sbandati, although in terms of authenticity, we’re not sure that’s apples to apples, either.

A happy hour might give the regular

At the Pasta House, a hearty and delicious pasta dish led the way to a sumptuous dessert of bread pudding.

mushrooms mostly taste like the dirt they were grown in.

For the entree, I ordered the Fiery Chicken Fettuccine ($20). My dining companion tried the Pistachio Pesto Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo ($20).

The fettucine had the perfect balance

With a caramelized outer shell and a sweet brown sugar syrup glazing the dish, every single bite of this bread pudding was heavenly and worth driving over to the south side.

Bendite a chance to ease into the menu and explore their Italian palate a bit more.

"We think the most important thing about creating distinctive Italian food is being authentic to personal style, technique, ingredients and recipe development from research and experience." says Chip Simmons, owner of Pasta House.

We started with the Bourbon Beef Tips ($13), sauteed and soaking in a garlic mushroom bourbon sauce.

The beef was tender and medium rare with the thick mushroom sauce tasting more like gravy than expected.

The big mushrooms floating throughout the dish were delicious—and this is coming from someone who thinks

of cajun spice, with a thick and creamy pomodoro sauce to balance the heat. I tend to always go for the spicier dishes when dining Italian, because a chef who finds that balance of mouth-watering spiciness without overpowering the simplicity of the base is a winner in my book. The dish was wonderfully spicy without taking away from any of the other complex flavors. The chicken was tender and cut precisely to fit within the dish without further dismemberment.

The Pistachio Pesto Alfredo leaned heavily into the pesto with delicious tones of pistachio that come up in the aftertaste. The dish was light enough to make it through every bite, yet rich enough to feel bad about not

taking some home for later. Again, the chicken was tender and delicious and both meals were plated beautifully.

Dessert was absolutely incredible with a Bread Pudding ($7), heavy with so much rum that I felt a little buzz.

With a caramelized outer shell and a sweet brown sugar syrup glazing the dish, every single bite of this bread pudding was heavenly and worth driving over to the south side.

Pasta House is a little on the expensive side for the average working Joe, but everything we tasted was delicious. The entrees definitely focused on quality over quantity, but the Bread Pudding was a massive behemoth that could be shared by multiple starving people. Bringing some fine dining over to the south side is a great idea and something the area sorely needs. It might be a bit rich for the college kids and service industry folk, but the Awbrey Butte crowd and the Nu-Californians will eat it up. SW Pasta House

This column is titled “Little Bites,” but this week, the content is a bit bulky.

Right now, countless mice are busy storing up goods for the long cold winter ahead. (OK, all except that naughty poet-mouse Frederick, who only stores up colorful poems to tell to his friends in the dead of winter. If you’ve never read the children’s book, “Frederick,” by Leo Lionni, it’s well worth your time—even for adults.)

Meanwhile, you too can be like the industrious mice in “Frederick,” only you won’t have to steal corn from the neighbor’s field to do so.

Central Oregon Locavore’s Fill Your Pantry event, taking place Nov. 19, is a community bulk buying event that lets you stock your pantry with local products that will get you through the winter. Think of it as the last chance farmer’s market before winter arrives.

Buying in bulk at events like this allows vendors to move product before the harsh Central Oregon winter when most farmers have few opportunities to sell goods.

Items include onions, leeks, potatoes, winter squash, garlic, beets, honey, flour, pears, apples, beans, krauts, nuts, cheese and more—all in large bags. For example, 20 lb. bags of onions and half wheels of cheese.

In other words, if you’re going, you’ll need some muscles… or to bring a muscle-bound helper who can do the heavy lifting for you.

Pre-ordering goes through Nov. 10.

You don’t have to pre-order to take part, but (to borrow another creature-themed image) the early bird does get the worm. SW Fill Your Pantry

end may slow down a considerable amount once fall kicks into gear, but that doesn’t mean the scene for one of the city’s most well-loved exports is growing desolate. The Bend Ale Festival, happening this Saturday at Northwest Crossing, will offer 40 beers from 20 brewers that encompass quite nearly everyone active in Central Oregon. Three Creeks is one exception, but that’s OK, because they’re taking over the taps Nov. 18 at Broken Top Bottle Shop and no doubt bringing some fine goodies from their new facility in Sisters.

For the wandering beer palate, however, the week’s main event is at the White Water Taphouse Thursday, Nov. 10, where their weekly meetthe-brewer/bingo evening is hosted by folks from Yachats Brewing—a small place from a smaller town that’s making a disproportionately big name for itself around Oregon.

Yachats (YAH-hahts) is a tiny town along the central Oregon coast, not far from Cape Perpetua and the Siuslaw National Forest. That makes it popular among hikers and outdoors-oriented folk in the summer, but winter is also a fun time to climb up a bit and attempt to spot gray whales migrating north and south along the Pacific coast.

Meanwhile the town itself (pop. 696) is quaint as all get-out.

US-101 goes right through downtown. Right in the middle visitors will find the Yachats Farmstore, the building the brewery calls home. It’s

been open since 2012 in a space once occupied by a bank, but the brewery only began in the summer of 2015. The beer side is headed up by Charlie Van Meter, who used to work for Logsdon Farmhouse Ales and helped the Hood River mainstay win silver at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival for Peche ‘n Brett.

The shop itself offers a bit of everything; locally-grown produce and meats, an extensive fermentation program putting out killer sauerkraut and kimchi, and a seven-barrel brew system. Thirty taps are available for visitors stopping in for lunch or a quick drink, including kombucha, mead, cider, wine, and (as of this writing) 16 Yachats beers.

As one might expect with Van Meter’s background at Logsdon, the focus with Yachats is on fresh, local ingredients and unusual experimentation. All the basic beer varieties are there, of course, including the Perpetua Xtra pale ale and Thor’s Well IPA, but look off to the side to find taps like Velella, a saison flavored with black currants and aged in oak barrels. There are also no fewer than five fresh-hop beers on now, including an imperial IPA, a sour beer with Amarillo hops, and another made with Centennial hops and Brettanomyces yeast. Pair it with their steak and pepper fondue sandwich and there are few better ways to begin some coastal exploration. SW

A MAN CALLED OVE: Based on the bestselling novel, “A Man Called Ove” tells the story of a typical angry old man. He's retired, isolated and on a short fuse—the kind of man who would yell at strangers to get off his lawn. When a young family moves next door, an unlikely friendship emerges and Ove finds a new lease on life. This is a heartwarming and moving tale of not giving up on life while also never forgetting to see what's right in front of you. A lovely film.Tin Pan Theater AMERICAN HONEY: A powerfully dramatic

take on the coming-of-age drama done with the types of characters usually ignored in modern cinema. The young people in “American Honey” are on the fringes of society, finding a way to exist without falling into any typical suburban norms. While the film is part road movie, part romance and part character study, it is mainly a look into the modern American restlessness of youth. Sisters Movie House

DOCTOR STRANGE: This is the 14th film in

the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which combines the films of Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Doctor Strange promises to be the weirdest and trippiest film yet out of Marvel Studios, and with actors like Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Tilda Swinton and Mads Mikkelsen it's bound to be entertaining.

The Master of Mystical Arts should be a perfect addition to the Marvel Universe. See the full review, p. 51. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HACKSAW RIDGE: Mel Gibson returns to

the director's chair for the first time since 2006's excellent “Apocalypto.” His alcoholism and generally-awful behavior kept him in director's jail for almost a decade, so “Hacksaw Ridge” will be a test not only of his box office acumen, but also his chops as a filmmaker. He tells the story of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who refused to bear arms during WWII, who saved the lives of over 75 soldiers during the battle of Okinawa. Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor

by President Truman. Since it's Gibson in the director's chair, expect this to be quite violent. See the full review, p. 53. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

INFERNO: This is the third adaptation of Dan

Brown's Robert Langdon mysteries and easily the best of the bunch. It's goofy and sometimes nonsensical, making for a big budget adventure that feels like it was put together by a series of mad-libs. So, it's not necessarily a “good” movie, but watching Tom Hanks writhe around as he has apocalyptic visions of Dante's hell is pretty entertaining. Just let the silliness wash over you.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK: The

last Jack Reacher movie was surprisingly good, with a really fun villain performance by Werner Herzog. There was something old-fashioned about it that made the film work really well.

“Never Go Back” feels like a step in the wrong direction, though, as the excitement is dialed back to zero. Barely any action, a boring villain and flat direction make this one of the worst films Tom Cruise has done in years. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES: As much as I love Zach Snuffalupagus, Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot and Amy Adams, the trailers for this one are dire. Zach and Amy are a boring suburban couple who think there's something fishy going on with their next door neighbors. Maybe the talent can save the movie, but it doesn't look like it. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

LO AND BEHOLD, REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD: Werner Herzog has

made some of the finest narratives and documentaries of all time and this one shouldn’t be any different. In this documentary, Herzog takes his typically dry and self-deprecating focus and aims it at the internet, creating something both chilling and thought-provoking. Tin Pan Theater

MIA MADRE: Italian auteur Nanni Moretti's new film tells the story of Margherita, a filmmaker whose newest shoot is complicated by her increasingly difficult personal life. Bouncing between comedy, pathos and heartrending drama, “Mia Madre” is an affecting portrait of sorrow balanced with hearty chuckles, provided by John Turturro. The quiet, subdued nature of the film is belied by how much the film stays with you after the final credits scroll by. Tin Pan Theater MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN: Tim Burton takes

on another group of misunderstood loners in this adaptation of the 2011 YA novel by Ransom Riggs. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL: This is a sequel

to a terrible flick from a few years ago, but somehow this looks fantastic. Creepy trailers, an 82 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and a 1967 setting makes this one rise above the pack already. This comes from director Mike Flanagan, who proves he knows his way around a scary movie with “Hush,” “Oculus” and “Absentia.” Trust in the Flanagan and he shall scare your britches all the way off. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

STORKS: It's hard to tell whether this new

animated film exists so parents have an easier way to describe the birds and the bees to their children or whether it helps with avoidance altogether. The film follows the winged employees of Cornerstore, a company that used to deliver babies and now is more of a postal service. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE ACCOUNTANT: Ben Affleck plays an autistic savant who is part ninja assassin and part geeky numbers guy. When he takes on a ruthless group of killers and a possible love life, it's hard to tell what's scarier for him. Sisters Movie House | Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK: THE TOURING YEARS: We're never going to stop talking about John, Paul, George and Ringo, so just accept it. This documentary, directed by Ron Howard, specifically focuses on 1964-1966.

Tin Pan Theater

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN: Everyone you know was reading the book and so you read it, too. The film follows the book almost exactly, so if you're after the story of an alcoholic woman trying to piece together the events of a blackout, then you're in luck. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TROLLS: According to Max Landis, this actually started out as an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. Now, it's an animated musical based on the fluffy-haired toys that served as nightmare fuel for multiple generations. With the voices of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Zooey Deschanel, Russell Brand, Gwen Stefani, John Cleese and James Corden, it should be delightful regardless of how dumb the story might be. Advanced reviews are positive, so this might be a perfect one for a night out with the kids. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SW

The Marvel movies aren’t quite what someone would call “realistic,” but they mostly exist in a world where technology is advanced to the point of science fiction. The “Thor” franchise went a little more out there with things like a Rainbow Bridge and dark elves, while “The Avengers” introduced some magic to the universe with The Scarlet Witch, but “Doctor Strange” goes full on Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth with the mysticism.

arvel really should have failed at some point by now. The Marvel Cinematic Universe was launched in 2008 with “Iron Man” and leads all the way up to this week’s “Doctor Strange.” Aside from 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk,” all 14 films have been critical and financial successes and have painstakingly been weaving a larger story that will culminate in the two-part “Avengers: Infinity War” being released in 2018 and 2019.

“Doctor Strange” continues Marvel’s winning streak by simultaneously being something completely new to the MCU, yet familiar in its structure and beats. The script is a straightforward origin story, so the originality of the world is offset by the predictability of the character arc.

War is hell and Desmond Doss is there to make it just a little bit better.

M

el Gibson has been mostly out of the Hollywood limelight for the last few years, pretty much since the recordings of his drunken, racist, sexist and abusive behavior came out. “Hacksaw Ridge” feels like the first stop on his apology tour, and it’s another assured directorial effort on the part of the troubled Aussie.

“Hacksaw Ridge” tells the true story of Desmond T. Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist and conscientious objector who enlisted to fight in WWII yet refused to bear arms. As a battlefield medic, he ended up single-handedly saving the lives of over 75 of his fellow soldiers in Okinawa, and awarded the Medal of Honor without firing a single shot.

The trailers make “Hacksaw Ridge” look like a goofy, sentimental piece of propaganda, but the film is actually a powerful and moving piece of work.

There is such an earnestness to the character of Doss that the film could have played like a parody or satire of a war movie. Andrew Garfield plays the lead role with bits of Forrest Gump, Pee Wee Herman and Atticus Finch, while also adding a steely reserve that makes it all mostly work.

The first half of the film carefully sets up Doss, his family and his fellow soldiers, while the second half is dedicated to the bloody battle of Hacksaw Ridge and the heroics of Doss and his friends. Doss has solid reasons (aside from the religious ones) for not wanting to touch a weapon, but sometimes the script seems to battle with the idea that Doss’ pride has more to do with it than his faith and convictions.

The importance of faith has always been a touchstone of Gibson’s films.

His heroes, whether they be Jesus Christ or William Wallace, find their true faith through suffering, misery and inward contemplation of their

mortality. Their trials are trials by fire and pain, presided over by the ignorant unbelievers who question the virtue of the oppressed.

For a film about a pacifist who is trying to navigate his way through a war nonviolently, “Hacksaw Ridge” is easily one of the most brutally bloody war films out there. It certainly rivals the Omaha Beach sequence in “Saving Private Ryan” and some of the more disturbing sections of “Casualties of War,” “Platoon” and “The Thin Red Line.” Still, the action sequences don’t feel glorified; other than a few moments of heroic bad-assery, the film lands squarely on the antiwar side.

That is one of the most remarkable things about the film, actually. Gibson and screenwriters Andrew Knight and Robert Schenkkan show the absolute horror and absurdity of war without taking away from the story of Doss and his incredible accomplishments.

Doss followed a set of guidelines he felt the Bible had imparted to him, regardless of what his commanding officers and fellow soldiers believed.

By doing that, he not only achieved the impossible, but became a living, breathing Jesus metaphor to his comrades.

As heavy-handed as it all may be, “Hacksaw Ridge” is an incredibly moving motion picture. Even knowing what’s coming doesn’t take away from the power inherent in Doss’ tale. The story of Desmond Doss is an incredible one and Gibson tells it like an artist.

It’s too soon to tell whether people will forgive him for his behavior, but Gibson isn’t waiting around to find out. SW "Hacksaw Ridge"

Physicist shares six years of caving

opportunity for her to seek something different from the heavy math she was involved in while studying to become a theoretical physicist.

Caving and everything below the Earth's surface soon became her passion. From 2002 to 2007 she earned her bachelor's degree in physics at the University of California, Berkeley, then went right on to her master's in 2007 and 2008. She didn’t take a break from her studies, but went right on from 2008 to 2013 to earn her doctor of philosophy Ph.D in theoretical particle physics.

In her capacity as a theoretical physicist she has co-authored several physics papers, among them: “Collinear Superspace Constraints in Hidden Sector Dark Matter”; “Model-Independent Indirect Detection; The Cosmological Axino Problem”; and many others of similar nature. She is now doing post-doctorate work at the University of Oregon in Eugene.

But it will be her adventures in such places as the La Grieta underground complex that will be her topic of the evening at the High Desert Grotto meeting. SW

he’s gone underground in exotic locales such as Slovenia and West Virginia. She’s slogged through caverns with water up to her chin. And this week, she’s ready to tell you all about it.

On Saturday, Nov. 12, Gilly Elor, a woman who’s done more in her mere six years of caving then anyone can imagine, will be the featured speaker at the monthly meeting of the Oregon High Desert Grotto—part of the National Speleological Society. In case you’re wondering, “speleological” indicates an interest in the study and preservation of caves.

If you’re already into caves, you want to know more about caving, you’re dying to know what it’s like to rope down into caves in Mexico, Slovenia, France, Austria or Germany Valley, West Virginia—or you’re curious about what it’s like to be deep underground in water up to your chin with your head bumping against the ceiling of a cave—be there.

Elor, 31, has been caught up with caving since she was 10. Back then, she kept coming back to the Moaning Caves near her home in San Francisco.

She admits today that she didn’t know at the time why she was so attracted to take up caving, but whatever it was, it never let go. On family trips she would ask her family to stop at every cave they passed.

Finally, as she got into physics in college, she made up her mind to really get into caving. It became the

BOOK TALK

By Russ Axon

“Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask” By Dr. Anton Treuer

A

t a time when Native American rights are being trampled on even as I write this, Dr. Anton Treuer’s presentation is more important than ever. His book, “Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask,” focuses on helping redefine how Americans view Native American culture in 2015.

We had a chance to talk with Dr. Treuer, a professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, who grew up in and around the Leech Lake Ojibwe Reservation in Minnesota.

Source Weekly: How do you go about helping people redefine Native Americans?

Dr. Treuer: Even in areas where there are quite a few Native American people, we are frequently imagined as well understood. We get a little sugarcoated version

of Christopher Columbus and the first Thanksgiving going to school and while the curricular things are changing a little bit, it’s not enough to create the visibility. As a result, there is a lot of invisibility and marginalization of Native people.

SW: Do you think that’s a change that you will see in your lifetime?

DT: It’s the kind of thing that’s bigger than any one person. I am seeing some change now and I certainly hope it will continue to expand going forward. There’s a lot of programming that we receive of stories of Native people before 1900. They’re usually a story with a tragic ending.

I think providing information about stuff after 1900 that doesn’t end sad or complicated will help people see that we are ancient and modern. We are many thousands of years of fluid history still in the making.

SW: Do you think if more Americans had a more modern understanding of Native Americans something like Standing Rock would still be happening?

DT: This is a subject that has mobilized Native people in a way that I have not seen before. There’s a consciousness rising that isn’t just Native people. I think many others are seeing Native people as the point of a spear that is trying to attack issues of environmental justice, climate change and human rights. People are getting mobilized and aware that there are fundamental structural flaws in our political system that are inhibiting many voices from being heard and having a true democracy where our citizens can impact their government.

Eleven Oregon Counties Follow Lead of Multnomah County Lawsuit Against MERS

Listed by The Skjersaa Group

In 2012, Multnomah County filed a lawsuit against MERS and 16 associated banks. The lawsuit asked for damages, and corrections of past filings and proper filings in the future. Earlier this year, the lawsuit was settled with MERS agreeing to pay $9 million to Multnomah County.

According to a blog on the Multnomah County website, it is estimated that MERS had cost counties around the nation more than $1 billion in recording fees.

Now, 11 Oregon counties are following suit (using the same attorney), seeking $50 million in unpaid recording fees. The counties are Clackamas, Coos, Crook, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Lane, Linn, Marion, Washington, and Yamhill.

This could be a lot of extra money for public agencies on lean budgets. A novel idea would be to place the funds collected in an affordable housing fund. I can’t help but wonder how much Deschutes County lost during those years and why they are not participating in the lawsuit.

any of us who own homes have seen MERS appear on real estate documents. MERS stands for Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems. Whenever a mortgage is sold, Oregon law requires that the transfer is recorded in county records. As mortgages were sold and bundled into securities, banks came up with their own system to expedite and circumvent public recording. MERS was launched in 1997 as a registry for banks to record transfers of mortgages. This involved MERS being listed as the beneficiary or owner of record and making a lot of money that normally would be made for county recording fees.

Many lawsuits have been filed in recent years challenging this practice.

A mortgage could have been sold five times, but the county recorders would have only one owner listed: MERS. Oregon law is a little different from many of the other states with failed lawsuits in that Oregon requires that the owner of the loan be listed on the records.

ADVICE GODDESS Tour Of Doody

I’m a 42-year-old divorcee, just back in the dating world and using dating apps.

I have two young children, who live with me. I mentioned them in my profile at first, but I didn’t get many replies, so I took them out. Is it okay not to disclose them there? And if I go out with a guy, when do I have to tell him? I’d like to wait till we build a bit of a relationship.

Bert And Urnie

I’ve been dating a widow for two years, and I feel inadequate compared with her dead husband, whom she always describes in glowing terms. He liked to dance; I don’t. He cooked; I don’t. He didn’t drink; I do. I understand that she was very happy with her late husband, but this constant comparison with him is wearing on me.

—More Than A Mom

—Mr. Boyfriend

When men say they “love surprises,” they mean the sort involving an impromptu striptease, not where you wait till the sixth date to tell them that, no, that child seat actually isn’t for your terrier.

Having kids shapes how you live. It isn’t like some weird hobby you occasionally do on weekends, like roadkill taxidermy or yurt bedazzling. And sorry—even if you’re far prettier in person than in your profile photos, being “striking” is just a figure of speech; it’s unlikely to cause a concussive brain injury in a man, leading to big personality changes that give him a sudden longing to stepdaddy up.

Not disclosing that you have kids until a guy is emotionally attached to you is what evolutionary psychologist David Buss calls “strategic interference”—using tactics (including scammy ones) to try to get another person to go against their evolved interests.

For example, it is not in a man’s genetic interest to invest time, effort, and resources into another man’s children, which is why men evolved to prefer women who do not already have children, as opposed to saying, “Well, she’s got 12 kids…I’ll take experience over 20-something hotitude any day!”

Our emotions are our internal police force. They evolved to protect and serve— protecting us from allowing things that don’t serve our interest. Your hiding that you have kids will make guys angry, including those who’d be interested in you, kids and all. The problem goes to character. If you’re dishonest about this, what else will you be dishonest about?

The right thing to do in online dating is to give men who will ultimately reject you the info they need to do that right away— keeping them from wasting their time and yours. (Otherwise, it’s like seeking a new accountant by interviewing plumbers.)

Being honest will narrow your pool—down to those who are actual possibilities for you, like divorced dads who’d be open to Brady Bunch-ing. There are also a few kid-loving guys out there who never got around to having any and would find it a plus that you have some ready-made. All the better if some other guy’s on the hook for the kids’ private school, Ivy League educations, and wintering in rehab on St. Barts.

It’s always exciting to see a man rebound after a serious setback—except when you’re the new guy in his widow’s life and the setback is that he was cremated three years ago.

As for why your girlfriend keeps inviting the Ghost of Husband Past into your lives, consider that thoughts—like those glowing ones about him—are driven by emotions.

And consider that emotions aren’t just internal states; they also act as signals—a form of person-to-person advertising. For example, research by social psych grad student Bo Winegard and his colleagues finds that grief seems to be, among other things, a kind of broadcasting of a person’s “proclivity to form devoted bonds with others.” (In other words, “Trust me! I love deeply!”)

As for what your girlfriend’s signaling with all this late-husband reflux, maybe she’s telling you to back off— maybe because she fears another big loss. Maybe she wants you to try harder at something—which isn’t helpful if it’s being somebody else entirely.

Or maybe she just misses her late hubby (or feels guilty for being happy with you) and this is her way of keeping him around—in some form.

Ask her—in the most non-snarly, loving way—what she’s trying to communicate to you when she waxes on about him. Tell her it hurts your feelings—giving you the message that you’re failing her somehow. Maybe she’ll start appreciating what she has instead of being so focused on what she buried.

(Date night shouldn’t involve your waving goodbye to your girlfriend as she goes off with a picnic dinner to the cemetery.)

ASTROLOGY

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Go ahead and howl a celebratory “goodbye!” to any triviality that has distracted you from your worthy goals, to any mean little ghost that has shadowed your good intentions, and to any faded fantasy that has clogged up the flow of your psychic energy.

I also recommend that you whisper “welcome!” to open secrets that have somehow remained hidden from you, to simple lessons you haven’t been simple enough to learn before now, and to breathtaking escapes you have only recently earned. P.S.: You are authorized to refer to the coming weeks as a watershed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Musician and visual artist Brian Eno loves to dream up innovative products. In 2006, he published a DVD called “77 Million Paintings,” which uses technological trickery to generate 77 million different series of images. To watch the entire thing would take 9,000 years. In my opinion, it’s an interesting but gimmicky novelty—not particularly deep or meaningful. During the next nine months, Capricorn, I suggest that you attempt a far more impressive feat: a richly complex creation that will provide you with growth-inducing value for years to come.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you know about the Lords of Shouting? According to Christian and Jewish mythology, they’re a gang of 15.5 million angels that greet each day with vigorous songs of praise and blessing. Most people are too preoccupied with their own mind chatter to pay attention to them, let alone hear their melodious offerings.

But I suspect you may be an exception to that rule in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll be exceptionally alert for and receptive to glad tidings. You may be able to spot opportunities that others are blind to, including the chants of the Lords of Shouting and many other potential blessings. Take advantage of your aptitude!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Greenland sharks

up and stayed. Having said that, however, I suspect that the coming months could be one of those times when Fuller’s formula applies to you. Your ultimate destination may turn out to be different from your original plan. But here’s the tricky part: If you do want to eventually be led to the situation that’s right for you, you have to be specific about setting a goal that seems right for now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were an obscenely rich plutocrat, you might have a pool table on your super yacht. And to ensure that you and your buddies could play pool even in a storm that rocked your boat, you would have a special gyroscopic instrument installed to keep your pool table steady and stable.

But I doubt you have such luxury at your disposal. You’re just not that wealthy or decadent. You could have something even better, however: metaphorical gyroscopes that will keep you steady and stable as you navigate your way through unusual weather. Do you know what I’m referring to? If not, meditate on the three people or influences that might best help you stay grounded. Then make sure you snuggle up close to those people and influences during the next two weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The coming weeks will be a good time to fill your bed with rose petals and sleep with their aroma caressing your dreams.

You should also consider the following acts of intimate revolution: listening to sexy spiritual flute music while carrying on scintillating conversations with interesting allies...sharing gourmet meals in which you and your sensual companions use your fingers to slowly devour your delectable food... dancing naked in semi-darkness as you imagine your happiest possible future. Do you catch my drift, Cancerian? You’re due for a series of appointments with savvy bliss and wild splendor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I have always wanted... my mouth full of strange sunlight,” writes Leo poet Michael Dickman in his poem “My Honeybee.” In another piece, while describing an outdoor scene from childhood, he innocently asks, “What kind of light is that?” Elsewhere he confesses, “What I want more than anything is to get down on paper what the shining looks like.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Leo, I suggest you follow Dickman’s lead in the coming weeks. You will receive soulful teachings if you pay special attention to both the qualities of the light you see with your eyes and the inner light that wells up in your heart.

live a long time—up to 400 years, according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen. The females of the species don’t reach sexual maturity until they’re 150. I wouldn’t normally compare you Pisceans to these creatures, but my reading of the astrological omens suggests that the coming months will be a time when at long last you will reach your full sexual ripeness. It’s true that you’ve been capable of generating new human beings for quite some time. But your erotic wisdom has lagged behind. Now that’s going to change. Your ability to harness your libidinous power will soon start to increase. As it does, you’ll gain new access to primal creativity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Passage du

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now and then you

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Modern toilet paper appeared in 1901, when a company in Green Bay, Wisconsin began to market “sanitary tissue” to the public. The product had a small problem, however.

Since the manufacturing process wasn’t perfect, wood chips sometimes remained embedded in the paper. It was not until 1934 that the product was offered as officially “splinter-free.” I mention this, Libra, because I suspect that you are not yet in the splinter-free phase of the promising possibility you’re working on. Keep at it. Hold steady. Eventually you’ll purge the glitches.

display an excessive egotism that pushes people away. But during the next six weeks you will have an excellent chance to shed some of that tendency, even as you build more of the healthy pride that attracts help and support. So be alert for a steady flow of intuitions that will instruct you on how to elude overconfidence and instead cultivate more of the warm, radiant charisma that is your birthright.

You came here to planet Earth not just to show off your bright beauty, but also to wield it as a source of inspiration and motivation for those whose lives you touch.

Gois is a 2.8-mile causeway that runs between the western French town of Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the island of Noirmoutier in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s only usable twice a day when the tide goes out, and even then for just an hour or two. The rest of the time it’s under water. If you hope to walk or bike or drive across, you must accommodate yourself to nature’s rhythms. I suspect there’s a metaphorically similar phenomenon in your life, Virgo. To get to where you want to go next, you can’t necessarily travel exactly when you feel like it. The path will be open and available for brief periods. But it will be open and available.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “How often I found

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away,” advises novelist Paulo Coelho. I’m tempted to add this caveat: “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away—unless you really do need to run away for a while to get better prepared for the reward you have summoned…and then return to fully embrace it.” After studying the astrological omens, Scorpio, I’m guessing you can benefit from hearing this information.

cience!” So sang English new wave crooner Thomas Dolby way back in 1982. Back then, cannabis was practically a different plant. Its potency averaged just three percent THC by weight. Now, the cannabis that any adult can buy at a store in Bend is around seven times more powerful.

Most commercially-available cannabis strains today are around 20 percent THC by weight, with some medical strains as high as 40 percent THC. Prohibitionists are fond of pointing out this great leap in potency, implying that cannabis is now much more harmful than it used to be. But as any good scientist knows, anything multiplied by zero is still zero. Or, as Billy Preston once sang, “Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’.”

Over the past 30 years, cannabis growers in places like Humboldt County, California, Southern Oregon, and the Matanuska Valley of Alaska— indeed in closets and basements all over America, Canada, and Europe— have selectively bred the cannabis plant to create a continuously better and better user experience. The War on (Certain) Drugs drove cannabis cultivation indoors, having the unintended consequence of creating the ideal conditions for selectively breeding cannabis. As growers created a better product, they were able to charge more, increasing their profits and ensuring that cannabis growing continued to be a profitable, if risky, venture.

But cannabis is not just about THC. There are hundreds of chemical compounds in cannabis, many of which are probably also psychoactive (involved in getting users high). Consider, for example,

terpenoids, a diverse and complex class of compounds that—as far as we know—create the scents and flavors of eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and, yes, cannabis. Some scientists and cannabis users also believe they enhance the potency of THC. Menthol is perhaps the best-known terpenoid. Citral smells like lemon, myrcene smells like hops or mango, and beta-caryophyllene smells like pepper. Unique combinations of terpenoids create the different aromas, flavors, and possibly highs, of the numerous different strains of cannabis now available. And terpenoids are one big reason why the experience of using cannabis is as complex and varied as the experience of tasting beer or wine.

Other cannabis compounds are not psychoactive, but are still therapeutic. Consider CBD, known to slow the effects of epilepsy (among other diseases), even if the federal government still refuses to admit it. The role of hundreds of other compounds in producing the medicinal value and the high of cannabis is still poorly understood.

Genetic modification of crops has greatly benefitted from federal scientific funding. Sequencing the genome of corn, for example, took $32 million in public funding and has resulted in corn that grows faster, uses less water and is more disease resistant. But since the federal government essentially refuses to allow research on cannabis, that research is taking place in secret, in closely-guarded commercial labs around the country in states where cannabis is legal. This means that, unlike everything else we consume, the public may never know why a new strain of cannabis works so well, only that it does.
