Five Democratic candidates are running in the primary election, in the hopes of eventually unseating Rep. Greg Walden. Magdalena Bokowa offers an intro to their platforms and personalities.

To keep the Greater sage-grouse off the Endangered Species list, bipartisan groups of people in 10 states spent years establishing plans to protect the bird.

Now an order by the Secretary of Interior could undo all of that.

n Nov. 28, Bend Park and Recreation District will host an open housestyle meeting to present the proposed design for Mirror Pond. But don’t get your hopes up, anti-dredgers and pro-dredgers, because that design is not going to touch the topic of silt removal—not even with a mucky 10-foot pole.

The Nov. 28 meeting is about the trail construction and bank restoration along Mirror Pond, and won’t cover much in the way of dredging.

If you thought dredging had to be completed—or even decided upon— in order to restore the banks of Mirror Pond, or to add trails alongside it, you’d be wrong. Park board members tell us that dredging is beyond the scope of this project—and that’s exactly where we think it should stay.

Completing the Deschutes River Trail is something voters voted in favor of when they approved the BPRD bond in 2012. Today, most of the funds from that bond have been spent, and board members say they’ll use general funds, if needed, to complete what voters asked for, to remain true to their commitment.

And while a host of surveys, public meetings, editorials, letters to the editor and even social media comments have been put forth, indicating either support or no support for dredging Mirror Pond, thus far, no one has been able to definitively say whether dredging the pond— at this point, at an estimated cost of $6.7 million—is something the wider community wants. From about 2012 to 2015, there was a flurry of activity around resolving this issue. Then Pacific Power decided it wouldn’t sell the Newport Dam, the source of impoundment

for Mirror Pond, after all, and the wind seemed to go out of the community’s sails around this issue. Lately, the pair who bought the mud underneath the pond, Bill Smith and Todd Taylor, have been attempting to curry favor with local officials, in the hopes of garnering BPRD and City of Bend funds to help pay for dredging. Neither body is equipped to pay.

Were the city, the parks district, or any other agency ready to come to the table and ask the public to pay for yet another bond, our community has a growing list of wants and needs that we feel are more pressing. More important needs include a large performing arts center, community investment in the Central District, a public warming shelter and improvements to our transportation system that would make public transit easier, faster and more accessible to more areas, and more people… just to name a few.

In summary, our public agencies don’t have the funds to dredge. The public hasn’t come out resoundingly in one camp or the other. The movements to take action on this issue have fallen apart, becoming a source of embarrassment to the community.

So, barring a public vote in which residents can say, democratically, that they wish to A, free the river and return it to its natural state, or B, preserve the state of the pond as it’s been for a century and dredge it in order to retain that scene, then the only other option is C, let the Mirror Pond issue stay dead in the water, for now. In this case, we’re willing to let sleeping geese lie. SW

A CALL TO ‘LOVE OUR LOCAL’ Change is inevitable, they say, such as with the movement of people.

Yet, I think, “Why do they have to move to here, where I grew up, where I graduated from high school more than 15 years ago, where I want to buy a house now — and can’t?” That has increasingly become my story, and often our story.

We need to realign our perspectives, and deepen our community heart. We are at a crossroads where we have the option to grow our home responsibly and respectfully. We need to do this together — not divided into newcomers and natives – but rather unified, within humanity.

So, how do we do that? We: 1) Are kind to each other. We say our

please and thank yous, we open doors for one another, we smile and wave in traffic. We slow down and do the small things.

2) Stop comparing. Newcomers, please stop comparing Bend to where you came from, especially in terms of cost and traffic.

Locals, please stop comparing Bend to what it used to be, especially in terms of cost and traffic.

3) Express gratitude. We are grateful to one another and to the beautiful home that we have built and will continue to build.

4) Meet others with respect. We ask questions, we listen, and we don’t judge so quickly. We help each other and we love each other, celebrating our commonalities rather than ingraining our differences. We respect our culture and one another, and we are aware of our impact here.

In reality, in day-to-day life, I know some of these things are hard to do. But they add up. Please keep thinking of ideas, and sharing them, and putting them into action.

Bend will continue to grow, but let’s grow it mindfully and make it an even more amazing place to call home. We all must sacrifice some of our thoughts and stories for this to work. It is going to take each one of us— families and friends and strangers—to raise our village, together, and to love our local.

Gene Gammond is an amazing person.

I was coming back to Central Oregon from my fourth prison stay and he fed me my first real meal in several years, helped get me into clean and sober housing and I have never been back to prison—going on eight years now!

I have a job, a family, and a new way to live. Gene Gammond is a huge part of my success, if you know who I am and see that I’m a completely different person now. All it takes sometimes is someone who cares about you to make all the difference in the world.

Gene is now one of my best friends, my children call him uncle, and I call him a savior. This is a good idea for Central Oregon, all it takes is for someone to care!

Congratulations Gene on helping others and giving back to others that could not have done this for themselves. You as well Sally!

Shopping Cyber Monday?

Read this first.

T

hanksgiving is still on the horizon, yet the Black Friday deals have already rolled out for some retailers. What used to be a singular day of door busters has expanded into a week of bargains. Cyber Monday, following Black Friday weekend, is the day for online deals and doesn’t require camping outside a store in the wee hours of the morning.

While convenient, online shopping does open new doors for criminals to steal your information. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website offers a few tips on how to keep your information safe while shopping online this Cyber Monday.

Look for the “s” in “https” This is a simple one. Any information you enter on sites beginning with “https” is encrypted.

Stay off the public computers for shopping Don’t use public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, and avoid clicking on “special offer” links in emails, as they could be phishing scams. Instead, navigate directly to the websites of reputable stores.

Bread Share

Check your statements We all make mistakes—so pay attention to your bank statements. Stay vigilant and report any fraudulent charges to your bank.

Be wary of new shopping apps Local computer security expert Mark Campbell of CMIT Solutions in Bend says that he’s seen an online shopping

scam that involves fake shopping apps.

If you download an app from a questionable email, it may be suspect.

“Downloading apps can really infect a machine badly,” said Campbell. “So just be careful what you download and know when you are installing something.”

Beware virus warnings Campbell says when it comes to computer security, people should be wary of any pop-up windows telling you to contact Microsoft or other software companies to help clean up any viruses. It’s more than likely a scam. If you feel that you have been victimized, he suggests shutting down your computer and taking it in for repair. As a cautionary measure, change all of your passwords as well.

“When you think of computer security, I tend to think about it as Swiss cheese—none of the layers are perfect, they all have holes,” said Campbell. “But if you add enough layers and the right layers you can cover most of the holes pretty well.”

Sgt. William Bailey of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says that anyone who suspects that they have been a victim of identity or personal information theft should immediately make a report with their local law enforcement by calling the non-emergency number.

“This day and age, scams come in many different ways and forms,” Bailey said. “So always be wary of anyone contacting you asking for personal information—you should be very skeptical of that and do your research before you provide anything over the phone.” SW

ive Oregon Democrats are vying for the chance to unseat Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) in Oregon's District 2.

With Walden facing wrath for helping craft the attempted repeal of the Affordable Care Act, Dems are hoping to ride the wave to victory—convincing moderate Republicans, those non-affiliated and Independents to cross over.

Still, voters chose Walden in all 20 of his counties in 2016.

Democratic candidates met Nov. 13 in a forum hosted by Indivisible Bend and the Vocal Seniority. Six contenders gave way to five when Ross Wordhouse, a local entrepreneur, announced he was pulling out of the race.

The Dirt on the Bird WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / November 23, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

8

Years of collaboration went into the current plans to protect the Greater sage-grouse. Under the new administration, those plans could now face a roll-back.

HAVE PEOPLE TO DEC. 1 UNTIL NT ON COMME ENT SAG CURRE PLANS GROUSE

by Nicole Vulcan

T

o those tuned into the happenings on the great sagebrush sea, certain words warrant no further explanation.

For them, “the bird” isn’t referring to the Thanksgiving turkey; instead it’s referring to the Greater sage-grouse.

Similarly, “a listing” isn’t referring to some vapid Top 10 meme; instead it’s a reference to the threat of the bird being added to the Endangered Species list.

Those phrases remain top of mind to many in the natural resources sphere— especially now, when recent moves by the Secretary of the Interior could signal changes to the extensive work aimed at helping “the bird” in Oregon and beyond.

This month, I attended the SageCon Summit, a collaborative partnership among Oregon stakeholders concerned with sagegrouse habitat and population declines. In past years, the summit has centered largely around efforts to help "the bird." This year, however, there was also an element of doom around what changes the Secretary might make to those long-laid plans.

Sage-grouse: A marker of ecosystem health “The bird” and the “listing” were key phrases in 2010, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided that the habitat, and in turn, populations for sage-grouse had declined significantly enough to warrant consideration for protection under the Endangered Species Act. As the Bureau of Land Management’s “Greater Sage

Grouse” web page still describes it today: “their habitat has been damaged or lost to development, invasive weeds and wildfire.”

“A listing” would have numerous implications. Most importantly for some, sage-grouse are seen as an “umbrella species”—meaning when its populations are in peril, so too are more than 350 other species that share their habitat. In other words, when “the bird” is threatened, it’s a signal the entire ecosystem is threatened too.

The other implication of a listing: it could put numerous burdens on landowners and ranchers, and on public agencies tasked with carrying out the tenets of those protections. In some areas, it could bar grazing, farming, mining or other activities altogether. With those implications in mind, a broad, bipartisan group of stakeholders—including conservation groups, ranching groups and federal and state agencies—worked together over the course of several years, and by 2015 had created a series of Sage-Grouse Action Plans in 10 western states. Under the plans, ranchers would receive funding and support to improve sage-grouse habitat on their lands. Meanwhile, the BLM amended dozens of land-use plans to further enhance habitat for sage-grouse. The BLM’s website describes the resulting plans as “a conservation approach built on coordination and partnership”—plans those involved hoped would continue to keep the sage-grouse off the Endangered

Species list. Many describe it as a win-win.

To borrow a phrase from ranching and conservation groups, “what’s good for the bird is good for the herd.” But now that could all come undone.

Oregon and SageCon In Oregon, the effort to avoid a listing was especially collaborative. Oregon’s governor formed the Sage Grouse Conservation Partnership, or SageCon, inviting various state, federal and local agencies, and private landowners and conservation groups, to participate. The group’s first annual summit took place in Bend in 2010.

Part of this year’s summit involved the usual report-outs on the results of the plans, including some bright spots indicating the plans are working. In the area around Baker City, for example, where stakeholders have engaged in concentrated efforts to improve sage-grouse habitat, bird numbers increased by slightly less than 1 percent. Oregon-wide, sage-grouse populations declined 8 percent from 2016 to 2017, according to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, though SageGrouse Conservation Coordinator Lee Foster is careful to point out that populations are still up from 2015. Inside the Prineville BLM district, closest to home, populations declined 3.9 percent from 2016 to 2017.

This year’s SageCon also involved some hand-wringing centered around the new

“what ifs” that have arrived as a result of Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke’s Secretarial Order 3353, “Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation and Cooperation with Western States.” The Department is now seeking public comment on sage-grouse plans, with the possibility of re-opening those long-laid plans. The idea, the Department alleges, is to “improve sage-grouse conservation by strengthening collaboration among states and the federal government.” People have until Dec. 1 to submit comments.

At SageCon this month, the general consensus was that the existing plans, so recently adopted, offered something for all involved, and needed time to work.

Yet Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River), representing eastern Oregon—and Bend—in the U.S. House, has applauded the reopening of the comment period.

“Oregon’s ranchers and landowners have done great cooperative work to improve sage grouse habitat, and this is a chance for their firsthand knowledge to be incorporated into the planning process,” wrote Walden in an Oct. 6 release. “The BLM’s decision is a step in the right direction towards working with our rural communities in these planning processes, rather than just burdening them with rules from Washington, D.C.” Dan Morse, conservation director for the Oregon Natural Desert Association, also attended SageCon, and disagrees with

Grazing vs. grouse? Maybe not In discussions about sage-grouse habitat, the two sides are often painted as “grazing versus grouse”—echoed by the statement from Walden. But at least one recent study shows that ranching isn’t the biggest threat.

In study conducted at the University of Montana from 2011 to 2016, “Grazing Management in Perspective: A Compatible Tool for Sage Grouse Conservation,” researchers found grazing to be among the lowest of the studied threats to sagegrouse, finding conifer encroachment, wildfires and cultivation to be bigger

worries. Even bigger threats were found to be posed by energy and housing. In the study’s brief, researchers wrote: “Done sustainably, grazing is a highly compatible land use for maintaining sage grouse populations, and is wholly preferred over habitat-destroying alternatives like cropland cultivation or subdivision development.”

The oil and gas industry lobby While not a huge contributor to the economy in Oregon, the oil and gas industries are big players in other western states where, along with Oregon, stakeholders adopted sage-grouse plans in 2015.

In August, the watchdog group, Western Values Project, released a statement regarding a leaked document involving the oil and gas industry trade group, the Western Energy Alliance. According to WVP, a memo from the WEA acted as the basis for Secretary Zinke’s current sage-grouse review. WVP says WEA made 15 recommendations to the Interior Department’s sagegrouse review team; 13 of those requests were used in Zinke’s report, according to WVP. (See the side-by-side comparison in the online version of this story.) This summer, WVP filed a Freedom of Information Act request to see correspondence between oil and gas industry representatives and Interior Department staff.

“We’re now going on our third month without a response from the Department of Interior,” Jayson O’Neill, deputy director of WVP told the Source, noting that WVP has since filed suit for information regarding those emails. “Now as we’re winding down our public comment period, the public has really still been kept in the dark about why these amendments and these revisions came forward.”

On the Department's appearance of caving to oil and gas lobby pressure, ONDA’S Morse says: “It’s a little disappointing frankly, that they’re so susceptible to this, and just so unsophisticated to saying yes.”

O’Neill says, “We went through 10 years of these discussions and coming to common ground, and then to have them essentially change in such a short time

frame without knowing the full motivation behind that has been really troubling for a lot of folks across the West.”

Also added to the mix: the Interior Department’s October decision to withdraw the application to prevent surface mining in critical sage-grouse habitat areas. Like oil and gas, mining doesn’t represent a large portion of Oregon’s economy—but in other states, the previously proposed move to prohibit mining in certain sage-grouse areas would have limited opportunities to expand mining operations on BLM lands, as well as private lands. At the SageCon summit this month, a representative from Oregon’s mining industry expressed satisfaction at where the sage-grouse plans stand now, as they relate to mining in Oregon.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) takes a different view. “This is a clear signal from the Secretary of the Interior just how willing he is to put mining companies above the needs and wishes of Oregonians, westerners, and the farmers and ranchers he claims to support,” Wyden said in an Oct. 6 release.

What’s next for sage-grouse?

Will the Secretary of the Interior move to undo years of collaboration around “the bird” and the avoidance of “a listing” in the West? Time will tell.

Says O’Keefe of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association: “If we get a listing we’ll all go back to arguing about the terms and conditions of the permits, and it will be so hard to do a project that things will really slow down.”

ONDA’s Morse says: “If the sage grouse population continues to decline, we have not done our job for that species and that ecosystem. If that ecosystem continues to decline, the way of life—the livelihood, the economy, the people of these landscapes—are going to be hurt. And so that’s the job right now, and it’s a very hard job, and that’s why so many people invest so much time.” SW Interested in commenting on the sagegrouse management plans?

Walden’s assessment of a top-down hierarchy. “You could not be a rancher in the eastern half of this state in the last five years and not have some knowledge that sage-grouse is declining,” Morse told the Source. “There was no shortage of ability or opportunity—whether somebody made that choice [to comment]—well, that’s democracy. But it’s a false scenario, to say that there were not opportunities.”

John O’Keefe, outgoing president of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, participated in the sage-grouse planning process and spoke at this month’s SageCon summit about past collaboration among ranchers.

“It’s obvious, ranchers as individuals take this serious. That’s clear,” O’Keefe told the group. “Ranchers as a group, speaking with one voice, that’s a challenge, but we’re here to try and facilitate that.

“The end game is to be sure we don’t have a listing, so we can continue to have the flexibility to do the projects that are going to make a difference,” O’Keefe said. Still, others in Oregon have found fault with the plans. In December 2016, the Harney Soil and Water Conservation District filed a complaint against the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BLM, alleging that the Oregon resource management plan “imposes regulatory burdens that cause financial and other hardships to ‘public lands’ ranchers who are residents of Harney County and to Harney SWCD.” In April, ONDA filed a motion to intervene on behalf of the United States in that case.

all them the upstarts, the noobs, the gamers who only recently picked up the paddle. However you title them, these local businesses are the ones who have been in business five(ish) years or less, and are already making waves in the local scene. As we get set for Shop Small Saturday, here are the stories from some of the new players in the game.

Modern Boardshop

Modern Boardshop is a board game shop with a wide selection of European style board games, including “Settlers of Catan,” “Ticket to Ride” and “Pandemic.”

BY LISA SIPE

On getting started as a business in Bend:

Before owners Brian and Susan Evans opened in 2015, they posted their store progress on social media and quickly gained a following. When they finally opened in the Box Factory, their first Thursday game night had a full house. Since then the game nights, open to anyone, have remained popular. Players can bring their own game, buy one, or play one from the store library. The store sells light snacks, craft beer, cider and sodas, so it’s easy to hang out for a while.

On getting ahead:

When I visited, the store had a new employee starting their first day. The Evans’ said the game industry is growing at 40 percent per year—so rapidly that 1,200 new titles were released in 2017. This kind of growth has been good for their

business but it’s also been a challenge. They are figuring out how to grow. (Sound familiar, Bend?)

On shopping local:

The Evans’ said, “shopping local is about being part of the community and giving back. It’s doing business with someone you’ll run into around town,” adding that they couldn’t be in business if locals didn’t support them and that what they do is about community. When you sit down to play a game you connect with the person or people in front of you.

On starting a business in Central Oregon:

Fernweh Woodworking

Justin Nelson and his wife, both military vets, moved to Central Oregon in 2014. After a stint with the Prineville Hotshots, Nelson started his own woodworking business. Nelson recently won two Design Excellence Awards from the International Interior Design Association.

AS INTERVIEWED BY NICOLE VULCAN

On getting started as a business in Central Oregon:

"I started in the business in January (2015) and to be honest I wasn’t much of a woodworker, but I’ve just found a passion for it and I’ve just learned so much.

"Looking back I feel like it takes kind of an optimistic person, like, an inherently optimistic person to start a small business.

"It’s been a long slog, but Central Oregon has been an awesome place to do it, besides the cost of living."

On getting ahead as a new business:

"I think because I had never been in small business before, I had never realized how many opportunities are out there—you just really have to find them. Starting out I was really expecting that people would find me, and I’ve realized that it’s not that way at all, you really have to be… assertive to find opportunities.

"Also, put yourself out there for things that you don’t necessarily know if they’re going to pay off, because a lot of times they pay off in ways that you wouldn’t expect.

"Early on I had a business advisor… she just told me that I wouldn’t be successful if I didn’t follow what I was passionate about, and I’ve always been passionate about real hardwoods. I rarely stain my products, I like to focus on natural hardwood and that’s something that’s really different than the mainstream approach.

Jeff Cole does the leatherwork for me. His business is called Link Leather Goods."

On the importance of shopping local:

"In my chair, every single joint has what’s called a domino, but is really just a little piece of beechwood—an ovular piece of wood as a tenon to hold the two pieces together. I think stuff like that is really interesting because people don’t understand that things like this really can’t be made on machines, and so you’re purchasing something that truly is one of a kind, made by a human being, locally."

Fernweh Woodworking fernwehwoodworking.com

“We were very skeptical of starting a business, especially an arts related one. At that time, we didn’t realize the depth of the art community or that it would grow the way it has. We had very low overhead at the time, so the real challenge was that the space needed a lot of elbow grease. But it was a time where we could make it up as we went along. It was hard, but it made us more flexible and fluid.

Teafly Peterson “We thought it was important to open an arts-related business because there was a hole that needed to be filed.

There was a lack of a marketplace for working artists to work and sell their wares.

The Workhouse has really become an incubator for small arts businesses. It still remains a hybrid between a retail shop and artists’ studio. The main drive was to give artists a soft entry into the world of selling their art.”

On getting ahead as a new business:

“It’s taken more time for people who live here to know about us than the tourists.

“We have found that being consistent and reliable to the community through what we offer has helped with our success and growth. People can trust that they can come here and discover something new, meet artists, be inspired, and as a result our revenue has quadrupled over the last four years.

“We are never done. There has always been the desire to grow and change and innovate in a way that would help move us forward, both for ourselves and for people who come in—whether that is display, or trying out new classes, finding new artists to showcase or collaborating with other programs and institutions to bring in even more arts.”

On shopping local:

“Beyond just keeping money in the community, it also lessens your carbon footprint. Things aren’t being shipped. It allows you have the opportunity to have a connection to the object you are buying, and also the person who is making it. You build a relationship that way. Your dollar is directly helping an artist go to the doctor and pay their rent and continue to be an artist or a maker or chocolatier. These people are valuable to our community and buying directly from them helps them, and it helps the rest of us, too.”

AS INTERVIEWED BY KEELY DAMARA

On getting started as a business in Central Oregon:

“We had a handful of challenges. One being, not totally understanding what Bend is really like—it’s a lot different from when you visit versus live here. The other challenge was that it is a totally new concept. It’s an online restaurant—we don’t have a store front, so to find a way to get the word out there without having a physical location for people to visit was another huge challenge for us.”

On getting ahead as a new business:

“It’s been incredible. The support we’ve gotten from other small businesses and

local business owners, people saying, ‘whatever we can do to kind of spread the word.’ We’ve got a lot of positive feedback about our concept and our business and people just willing to put a couple postcards near their cash register or talk about us is really amazing.

I think that’s something that is unique to small towns, but especially to Bend. We would have never experienced something like that in San Francisco, guaranteed.”

On shopping local:

“Part of what makes Bend so awesome is the people and what they do here and the businesses… and it’s really a part of the identity and the culture here.

I know that Bend has changed a lot over the past 10 to 15 years, and I think to really sort of make sure that we cherish what Boxwood Kitchen makes it such a special place is really, I would say, small business.”

On getting started as a business in Bend:

Duncan McGeary grew up in Bend before going to the University of Oregon, returning home after graduating in 1980. He wanted to be a writer, but says that wasn’t going to pay the bills, so he went to work as a landscaper. One day, he popped into a comic book store hidden away on Greenwood Avenue.—Pegasus Books. He befriended the original owner and began working for him. Around 1982 the store moved to its current location on Minnesota Avenue in downtown Bend. Hard times hit Bend, and the store was struggling. The owner moved to Portland, and in 1984, approached Duncan about buying it. Though the store was run-down, Duncan took the plunge and has owned it ever since.

On staying successful:

Duncan believes he may well be the longest-standing retail business, in the same location, with the same owner in downtown Bend. In Bend a business such as his must have the ability to diversify and adapt to change. At one point, sports cards were a driver of his business, but that market died—so he responded with a wider variety of offerings. As he says, owning the shop is the “best minimum wage job a middle aged guy ever had.”

On the importance of shopping local:

Duncan says the obvious reason for shopping local is that the money spent stays here at home—in Bend. Additionally, local businesses strive to provide unique options and experiences for the shopper, so shopping local is a win-win.

Pegasus Books, a stalwart of downtown Bend, sells new and used books, board and card games, comic books and graphic novels and various types of toys.

Lauren G.R. Johnson is a fifth-generation Oregonian, born and raised in Bend. As a teenager she worked at Newport Avenue Market and, as a second-generation owner, has ushered Newport Market into its current phase as the first employee-owned grocery store in Central Oregon.

AS INTERVIEWED BY JARED RASIC

On getting started as a business in Bend:

“The evolution of our store from a traditional grocery store that everyone identified as an IGA to becoming the specialty store that we are today…That evolution didn’t happen overnight; it’s taken over 25 years and it continues today, nearly on a daily basis.”

On staying successful:

“We have always been locally owned and specifically think of ourselves as a neighborhood grocer that sells what people want to buy.

“We have regular groceries (milk, bread, bananas, etc.) as well as specialty housewares, gifts, Oregon Country Beef (we don’t sell commodity beef and haven’t for more than 25 years), over 500 beers and now have the privilege of selling distilled spirits.

“Remain relevant. You always have to stay fresh and give people a reason to visit your location with outstanding customer service and things people want to buy.”

On the importance of shopping local:

“You’d be amazed at what people think is local. To those retailers’ credit, they’ve done great advertising so you can’t fault them. It really falls to the education of the

consumer to understand where their dollars go.

“Our employees (more than 120) are able to live a good life in Central Oregon with medical insurance, great industry wages, vacation time, retirement plans and more because people choose to shop with us and support our employees, as well as the local products we carry by Central Oregon companies, and therefore their employees too.

“We are all neighbors and this is our little place on Earth to make the best we can. It’s a group effort and supporting a vibrant community means being thoughtful of each other.”

Sunnyside Sports

Bend’s OG bike shop has been around since 1972. "It was here before mountain biking was a thing,” jokes owner, Susan Conner, who started as a college student 30 years ago. You’ll typically find Conner, as well as co-founder and bike mechanic Mike Schindler, at the shop tightening spokes, suggesting new trails or just joking around.

AS INTERVIEWED BY MAGDALENA BOKOWA

Schindler says: “This has always been a service-oriented bike shop that stays true to bike culture. It lives on word of mouth so we always try to be friendly and knowledgeable, and in the end, we get many repeat customers who tell their friends.”

Conner says: “I was so honored to have been hired here because I have always felt like it’s a special place that prides itself on representing good companies making great gear. It’s had a solid reputation since day one.”

On Staying Successful:

Pizza Mondo

In 1996 Steve Koch and John Picarazzi left their lawyer jobs to open Pizza Mondo. They’ve been feeding the community hand-tossed pizzas from their gas-fired hearth ovens ever since. Two years after opening they brought on Manager Cliff Triplett as a third partner.

The town only had 30,000 residents then, and Pizza Mondo had five employees. Now they have 35 employees but still operate out of the same Wall Street. location.

AS INTERVIEWED BY LISA SIPE

On getting started as a business in Central Oregon:

“Bend prioritizes local business,” says Triplett. “We have this community feeling like they want to support those businesses, sometimes over convenience. We are lucky to have a community that will go out of its way when sometimes we’re out of the way or it’s difficult to find parking.”

On staying successful:

“We find new challenges all the time. With more people coming to Bend there are more customers but also more competition. We work hard to keep up our relevance and quality.

“We’ve found it challenging to keep up with technology and social media. People still have to call to place their orders. We’re hoping to introduce online ordering next year.”

Schindler says: “We know that this can be an intimidating place to walk into, especially if you are new to bike or ski culture. So we listen, are friendly, open-minded and try and make people feel comfortable.”

Conner says: “On average, most employees have been with us for 15 years. I think that’s due to us treating them like family and us having their back and vice versa. We know we are fortunate to operate and live in this town—it’s cup runneth over type stuff— so we constantly are looking at what we’re good at and what we can change.

Adaptation is crucial.”

On Shopping Local:

Schindler says: “In an era when big retailers are dying, all we have is our personal interaction with customers. So if you come in, you’re joining a part of our community and can ask us, ‘How was the trail today or the powder?’ And someone in the shop will have an answer because they’ve ridden or skied that day. Our staff is always using our gear and knows it inside and out, something you don’t get from an online retailer.”

Conner says: “If we don’t live it, we can’t sell it. So we stay true to what we believe in.”

Sentiment SOUND True Country crooner Corey Smith talks about authenticity and quality in songwriting

By Anne Pick

ountry music generally isn’t my forte. My experience with it centers on Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, two of my dad’s favorite artists. In speaking with country crooner Corey Smith, it became apparent that country music wasn’t his first love either—but with time came a growing affection.

“When I was starting out, I never thought about whether it was country or not,” Smith says. “Growing up in a small town in the South, I was always around country, southern rock and gospel — those things are ingrained in me.

When I was a teenager, I was rebellious, I wanted to listen to my own music. I loved listening to Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana... I liked listening to hip hop and rap and later on Matchbox Twenty and Hootie and the Blowfish.”

As Smith started playing live music, his relatives and friends asked why he didn’t play country music. After settling down with a family, Smith found himself drawn to country music.

“You can listen to it with your kids,” Smith says. “It’s the music of common people and their struggles and their triumphs. Traditionally, it’s about really honest, down-to-earth songwriting.

If that’s what country music is, then sign me up.”

On that note, Smith prides himself on his ability to craft a song. As with any art form, he believes the primary quality is authenticity and honesty.

While he says the story doesn’t necessarily have to be true, it’s the sentiment that counts.

“It just doesn’t resonate the same way as something that’s real,” Smith says.

Smith himself started songwriting as a teenager, mostly angst-driven, typical teenage stuff. As time progressed, Smith wanted to be a rock star. After dropping out of college and meeting his wife, his priorities changed.

“Being a rock star, that’s a pretty shallow goal,” Smith says. “I went to college and wanted to be a school teacher. Through all that, I found myself still playing the guitar and writing music. This is something I was going to do because it made me feel better. I started studying songwriting at that point. It started coming from a

different place and I wanted to find out how do I get better, how do I say more with less.”

Previous to his latest album, “While the Gettin’ is Good,” Smith released his first nine albums independently and produced his own music. Smith made the records on his own and partnered with a company for distribution. He believe this may be part of the reason he hasn’t transitioned to a major label. He says that partnering with a major label is often the shortcut to making an artist mainstream and popular.

“It takes a lot of the art out of the process,” Smith says. “I’m certainly not Corey Smith

doing this because I want to be rich and famous, I want to be able to express myself.”

Still, for “While the Gettin’ is Good,” he decided to bring in a producer.

“I needed to learn from someone who has experience. I had some great meetings, I had some not so great meetings. Then I met Keith Stegall, who produced Randy Travis; he’s won Grammys and he seemed to understand me as an artist and was an artist himself. I think it’s a great sounding record. It really emboldened me; he’s not doing anything fundamentally different. It’s a tremendous amount to learn.” SW

Driving out there, I was transported to another world. It’s quieter. It’s beautiful. Larry and His Flask records here. He's also recording The Trebelshooters' first album here.

Wood says: “I was always the guy in the band trying to record. I had always had an interest in recording. I had home recording equipment in high school.

I went to school for audio production and engineering and learned the foundation of recording.” Wood believes it’s all about the live room, which helps overcomes obstacles such as mediocre equipment.

“I tend to get more rock and roll, live band oriented projects, and I really enjoy that. I get some electronic music, which is more rooted in setting up microphones and placement.”

While The Firing Room has a website, Wood says most of his business comes from going to shows. He has people coming in from Portland and Roseburg, and one day hopes to focus on getting more touring acts.

“At some point, I want to move the studio to a location in town. Maybe have sleeping accommodations where touring bands can come stay,” Wood says.

“I grew up here and there were a few studios, but nothing affordable, there weren’t a lot of options. That was the main reason I went to school for audio engineering. I wanted to help the scene, have a place for bands to go that wasn’t San Francisco or Portland.”

Big Mountain Productions Scott Stimpson recently moved to Bend with his wife and dog. Upon entering the living room of the home he would eventually buy, which features 18-foot ceilings, he started clapping throughout the room. While the realtor may have thought him crazy, the clapping helped him understand the acoustics of the room. Stimpson’s studio, Big Mountain Productions, lives up to the “home recording studio” title, utilizing many of the rooms in the house for recording.

Stimpson envisions bands setting up in the living room as he records from the beautiful control panel in his studio. With two additional bedrooms with work spaces upstairs, he hopes to invite traveling musicians to record their albums and stay for the duration of the recording process.

“I love music,” Stimpson says. “A lot of good friends of mine are amazing musicians. I like to say that I feel like Forrest Gump, wandering through a world while history is going on around you. I can’t believe the things I’ve seen and heard.”

Stimpson got his start in music in New Jersey, working in the commercial recording scene and the private sector. He sees Big Mountain Productions as a hybrid of the two scenes. Stimpson brings 30-plus years of experience to the scene. “I’m not here to compete with others in town. I want to enhance what I consider a really cool music scene,” Stimpson says. “Being at my advanced age, I don’t really have anything left to prove, not that everything was all wine and roses before. I’m in another state in life, I want to be an artist, create with other artists, make some great art and contribute to this town that I absolutely love.”

In addition to his home studio, Stimpson has a mobile recording studio — a large, plush RV with all of the equipment for recording on the go.

CULTURE

Use Your Words

After sitting around the Thanksgiving table not listening to your relatives’ stories, 2nd Street Theater offers a more sophisticated—and perhaps less opinionated—form of storytelling

By Jared Rasic

Nothing comes between the storyteller and the audience. No Visual aids, no notes. Nothing!

Even as technology and culture moves forward, they shouldn’t take away from the original traditions that still offer so much to our culture. “Its so easy, nowadays, to lose connection with stories by just reading them on paper or online,” says musical guest Stephanie Crespo. “I feel like the best storytellers really invest themselves into any form of storytelling, to share a piece of themselves with the audience. This gives the

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 47 / November 23, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

s soon as humans learned how to draw in caves, we were making pictures of the great hunt we just went on, or of the gods we hoped had our best interests at heart. These days, even those of us with deeply ingrained fears of public speaking know the joys of having someone wrapped around our little finger as they wait to hear What Happens Next. We tell stories to make the unimaginably giant world a little smaller, so we can find our place in it just a bit easier.

As civilization has moved on to music, the written word, motion pictures and other forms of modern communication, the art of telling a story without any added frills is something that could easily fall by the wayside. In Bend, Two Twisted Sisters and 2nd Street Theater are fighting to keep the form alive with the upcoming storytelling session: “To Tell the Truth.”

One storyteller, Dr. Michael Coffman, perfectly describes what keeps the art of oral storytelling fresh: “When the story is a good one, we refresh and re-tell it to multiple audiences. Unlike a movie or book, a live storyteller can adapt their delivery to react to an audience’s interests: Employing an even more spooky tone to thrill the person in the front row whose face betrays an encounter of a similar experience, for example— or focusing more on the romantic elements for the dreamy-eyed teen.”

Howard Schor

An enraptured audience is ready for some old-school storytelling. Two Twisted Sisters are fighting to keep the art form alive.

audience the chance to experience an adventure vicariously through the performer and gives the performer the opportunity to really become so vulnerable—that they take you out of reality and into this story.”

The Two Twisted Sisters, throwing the event over the Thanksgiving weekend, explain what makes modern storytelling such an enduring, relevant art form: “Nothing comes between the storyteller and the audience. No visual aids, no notes. Nothing! They’re out there telling their truth as near to naked as the local law allows.”

Just as a piece of live theatre exists only in that moment, for a specific audience, so does oral storytelling. There’s no pausing to use the restroom and no cutting to get a better take: this will always be the version of this story that exists for the audience and the storytellers. It’s an ephemeral art form that gives body and form to any fleeting thought that comes in

the moment.

Crespo puts it even better: “That’s ultimately what I think storytelling is: an escape from reality and the journey through someone else’s experiences and life lessons. Some stories are just for entertainment or a laugh, but the best stories are the ones that give you something to take with you for the rest of your life.

That in itself is true art.” SW

Her practice of respecting the land extends beyond her business. Olson is also chair of the Deschutes County Weed Board, helping people identify and eradicate noxious weeds. Through The Central Oregon Seed Exchange, Olson also collects and identifies seeds and packages them for purchase. The packets are available for $1 at Central Oregon Locavore. The intent of the program is to make growing local, native plants easy for people. Local farmers donate land for the seeds to be grown and Olson even gives each child in the Bend-La Pine school district a free packet every year to encourage the practice.

Olson also offers classes in identifying and saving seeds at Locavore. She travels around the country, educating native people on how to do what she does: utilize traditional practices to make locally-sourced products as part

Olson’s passion for the environment and the land is obvious in the way she’s devoted to passing down her traditions to her daughter, making her locally-sourced products and educating people in seed saving. “It’s really important to slow things down, learn how to get outside and enjoy your surroundings. You are walking around things all the time that are food.”

waterways. “I was so pissed when that happened! It’s not surprising that I went and got a degree in natural resource management,” says Olson. But it was the lessons she learned from the other native students and the exploration of plant materials on her own that inspired her the most, she says.

Sakari offers a number of products, including teas made from locally-grown flowers and berries. Olson sources wax from local beekeepers for her lip balms, and creates salves from a variety of native, medicinal plants including yarrow, echinacea and pine, which help to combat bacteria. Perhaps her most “Bend” product is a soaking salt made with hop oil. “It smells like beer! If you have stinky feet, these will do the trick,” Olson offers.

Recently, Olson began making culinary salts with flavors that include smoked cider, smoked oak, lavender and even nasturtium flowers. Another “Bend” product is the Beard Oil, which she creates using pinyon pine and sweetgrass she collects from Idaho.

"It's really important to slow things down, learn how to get outside and enjoy your surroundings. You are walking around things all the time that are food."

Spring Olson

azing at the ingredients list on a Sakari Botanicals product, you’ll typically find just three things— whether it’s a lip balm, a salve or a culinary salt. Founder Spring Olson works to make sure every ingredient that goes into her products is 100 percent local.

It’s hyper-local, in fact; when people buy Sakari products at Newport Market, they’re buying something grown just two blocks away, on the quarter-acre plot behind Olson’s house. You don’t get much more local than that.

Olson began Sakari Botanicals a few years ago under the federal wing of the Department of Agriculture's USDA inter-tribal cultural council, using the traditional practices she learned from her Inuit Eskimo family while growing up in Valdez, Alaska. Sakari means “sweet” in Eskimo. Deeply inspired by her Inuit roots, Olson strives to make her products in a manner that honors her tribe’s traditions and values. She takes a plant, saves the seed and then uses the whole plant to create foods and healing materials.

When she was younger, the oil spill in Valdez inspired her to study nature and

Local Culture Rides Kraut Trend

LITTLE BITES

By Lisa Sipe

School teachers by day, kraut delivery cyclists the rest of the time

Bye Bye, Thai Thai; Greetings Nam Tok Kitchen

I

t’s been said here before: sauerkraut is the new kimchi, and Local Culture is proof this trend is still hot. The company launched in June, selling out of sauerkraut at their very first farmers market. Pretty incredible results for Sarah Frost-McKee and Paul Trendler, both full-time school teachers.

Frost-McKee and Trendler (doesn't that sound like a new cop show on Netflix, with an ‘80s twist?) are a married couple, the kind you instantly like—a casual Northwest vibe, smiling often and lighting up when they talk. The pair started making fermented foods when they were expecting their first child, knowing they’d be busy and wanting access to quick, ready-made, healthy food. Fermented foods go through lacto-fermentation, a process in which natural bacteria feeds on the sugar and starch in the food, creating lactic acid.

The process preserves the food and creates enzymes, probiotics, Omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins, making it more digestible and nutrient dense.

Frost-McKee has a culinary background and Trendler has experience with brewing kombucha and beer. They started like a lot of experimenters do; getting their friends hooked on their kimchi. The friends pushed them to make more of their delicious, spicy, fermented cabbage.

The couple also noticed no one else in town was producing local ferments, so they looked for commercial kitchen space. With Bend growing so rapidly, that took months. Their first space was at a local restaurant they could only access when the restaurant was closed. But recently, Prep: a Chefs’ Kitchen opened, offering the couple a space made specifically for businesses like theirs. Now they can work anytime they want, so they make and deliver ferments around their school schedules.

Local Culture produces five different flavors of sauerkraut and one seasonal variety made using organic produce from local farms. Their kraut is crunchy and alive, in contrast to the traditional

Sarah Frost-McKee and Paul Trendler showcase varieties of their kraut.

Thai Thai is gone, but don’t worry— you can still order Thai food from that same location on Bend’s Mt. Washington Drive. Now in the space is Nam Tok Kitchen, focusing on Northern Thai and Lao cuisine. Expect Thai favorites such as pad thai, a sweet, sour and nutty rice noodle dish, and tom kha gai, a sweet and spicy coconut-milk based soup with lemongrass and galangal (a root from the ginger family). They also have eight flavors of bubble tea, a beverage not from Thailand, but Taiwan. The bubble part of the tea is chewy tapioca pearls that settle to the bottom of the fruit or milk-based beverage. Nam Tok Kitchen is open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.

The newest food trend?

Kraut on pizza.

You heard it here first.

Cascade hops. That Central Oregon flair continues in the high desert kraut, featuring juniper berries, apples, sage and green cabbage. Trendler said when he first tried the high desert kraut it made him do the “good bite dance.” I think they need to post what that looks like on their social media sites, don’t you?

I’m most excited to try the sunshine salsa kraut, similar to the spicy Salvadoran cabbage relish curtido. It has cabbage, jalapeños, carrots, garlic and onion—ideal to add to tacos or even eggs. Frost-McKee and Trendler are great at reminding us how versatile sauerkraut can be. It’s not just for a brat or reuben, they say; kraut can be eaten as a condiment on just about anything: tacos, salads, bagels with cream cheese, or burgers. And get this: they’ll even top a hot, fresh from the oven pizza with sauerkraut. It sounds a little wild but I

can’t wait to try it. Maybe that will land on the trend list next year.

I recently sampled their seasonal apple fennel caraway kraut. Upon opening the bag there was hardly any aroma, but as I got close I could smell a light sourness. The thinly-shredded cabbage was really crisp and crunchy and I could still taste the cabbage through the sour notes of the fermentation. I ate it as a snack on its own and found it delicious wrapped in the few leftover slices of ham I had in my fridge.

You can find Local Culture products in local markets including Market of Choice, Newport Market, and Locavore.

Whole Foods will be carrying them very soon, the couple says, and you can also eat their sauerkraut when dining at Crux and Wild Oregon Foods. While the business is growing rapidly, you’ll still see Trendler out on his cargo bike, doing deliveries.

Ironically though, they haven’t been able to recreate that famous kimchi their friends loved on a commercial scale—but they’re still trying. SW

Women in Craft Distilling Increases with Freeman Spirits

Fewer than 1 percent of distilleries in the U.S. are owned by women, but Freeland Spirits is aiming to change that ratio with a new craft distillery in Portland. What does that have to do with Bend? Distiller Molly Troupe used to be the lead distiller at Oregon Spirit Distillers. Now Troupe, with Jill Kuehler and Cory Carman, are creating grainto-glass spirits. The company started an Indiegogo campaign to help get their distillery of the ground, reaching their $25,000 goal on their first day. Now they have a stretch goal of $75,000 to buy a 500 gallon copper pot still from Germany. Right now they are using the still at Aria Gin so reaching this new goal will get them their own still by February. There are multiple perks for supporting the campaign, including a bottle of gin or whiskey with a Freeland Spirits tasting and tour.

Irish Death from Above

The mysterious dark ale that took over Washington

39

B

eer from the Pacific Northwest has a certain reputation, and that reputation involves hops. The plants are grown in droves in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and Washington’s Yakima Valley, their flowers used copiously in ales brewed across the entire region. There’s not just one fresh-hop beer festival, but several across the whole of the state.

IPA is king, and the streets of downtown Bend are littered with hopheads of all ages, races and genders.

Irish Death is dangerously drinkable. Smooth and dark are definitely the watchwords here, and it's easy to relax with a couple good friends before the 7.8 percent ABV starts kicking in.

That’s the conventional wisdom, but of course, it’s far from the whole picture. Deschutes Brewery’s flagship offering, after all, is Black Butte Porter, still a top seller from coast to coast. And up north, a much smaller beer outfit has quietly taken over the state of Washington with a dark ale of its own—one that defies easy description.

Quilter’s Irish Death is the product of Iron Horse Brewery, a down-home pub and production facility in the Central Washington town of Ellensburg. Its unusual name comes from its original creator, Jim Quilter, who first opened Iron Horse in 2004. Quilter, who passed away in 2009, got his start working for Sierra Nevada in California before coming to Ellensburg, but quickly found that he liked brewing more than running a business and sold it two years later to the father-and-son team of Greg and Gary Parker. They remain small as the ninth-largest brewery in Washington, but such is the success of their flagship that it has become the top-selling beer

in bottles and kegs within the state.

This success comes despite the fact that Irish Death is pretty difficult to classify. The bottle simply calls it a “dark smooth ale,” which—considering there’s little of the heavy flavor that defines a stout or porter—is about the best description possible. It’s definitely overloaded with malts. Greg Parker describes its recipe as using the “everything but the kitchen sink” approach— and only a little hop flavor, serving as the framework that keeps everything else in check.

Like some of Deschutes’ or Boneyard’s better-crafted IPAs, however, Irish Death is dangerously drinkable.

Smooth and dark are definitely the watchwords here, and it’s easy to relax with a couple over good friends before the 7.8 percent ABV starts kicking in.

The beer’s easily found over on the other side of the Columbia, from Vancouver to White Salmon, and anyone looking for something new this winter needs to give it a try. “Forget style guidelines,” as Parker advises on the Iron Horse website. “Is your pursuit of micro beer about tasting copies of a style that fits guidelines or about finding s--- that tastes good?” SW

DR. AMBERENA FAIRLEE Certificate in Dental Assisting Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree “When I signed up for the dental assisting program at COCC, I had absolutely no intention of ever becoming a dentist. The instructors were so incredible, empowering and encouraging, though, and they provided me and other students with the support to help us reach even higher.

I never thought the program or COCC would be the spark to change the future of my life, but it totally was.

“We are so lucky in Central Oregon to have such an incredible community college available to us.”

DADDY'S HOME 2: It's sadly ironic that, in a time in which so many male celebrities are getting called out on their gruesome and predatory behavior, we've somehow still got Mel Gibson in the middle of his comeback tour. He doesn't deserve it. I guess Will Ferrell is funny... does that make it better? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema DEALT: Just when you think it's safe to start feeling positive about your own accomplishments, along comes a documentary about one of the world's greatest card magicians...who also happens to be blind. No big deal. At turns astounding and life affirming, this documentary is a ton of fun to watch. Tin Pan Theater HUMAN FLOW: Ai Weiwei puts images to the

refugee crisis in a way that only a staggeringly brilliant artist can: by putting a human face on an idea that can only be abstract to people in the Western world. This film will probably be required viewing in classrooms within the next decade. Tin Pan Theater

JANE: A documentary about Jane Goodall from

NatGeo that focuses on her field work played over an absorbing score by Philip Glass. As many nature documentaries as there have been, you've definitely never seen anything like this before. Tin Pan Theater

JIGSAW: The eighth film in the “Saw” franchise sees the return of the Jigsaw killer, who has been dead for over a decade. Will the police discover Jigsaw's game before more victims are torn to shreds, or will everything go as planned so we get “Saw” movies every Halloween until the end of time? Either way, blood will be spilled. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

COCC is an affirmative action, equal opportunity institution.

THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER: Di-

Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman star in what appears to be a brutally bleak revenge story that is bound to make the audience just as uncomfortable as the actors. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

LOVING VINCENT: The first fully painted animated film in history sees the filmmakers take on a van Gogh biopic with nearly 65,000 hand-painted frames.

THE STAR: Who doesn't love anthropomor-

By Jared Rasic Clay Enos

Someone is about to get Justiced. They need a better slogan.

v Superman,” leaving the world afraid of aliens and stuff. Batman is so torn up about it (even though he spent the entire last movie trying to kill Supes) that he forms a team of superheroes to fight a nasty horned villain named Steppenwolf, from Jack Kirby’s classic Fourth World Universe. Don’t wait for him to sing “Magic Carpet Ride.” That only leads to disappointment.

It’s obviously a lot of fun watching Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and Superman (c’mon, you know he comes back) team up to fight inter-dimensional baddies, but the universe they occupy is miserable. Ma Kent lost the farm to the bank.

Lois Lane is suffering from depression.

Barry Allen is a broke and friendless transient on the spectrum. Ben Affleck’s Batman is so swole that he looks like he has Bell’s palsy. Aquaman acts like he’s

one denim jacket away from “The Deadliest Catch.”

Yet there’s more humor in “Justice League” than in the entire DCEU combined (mostly from The Flash) because Zack Snyder had a family tragedy and “The Avengers’” Joss Whedon came onboard to finish filming and writing the movie. His fingerprints are all over the final product, which sadly replaces Snyder’s painterly eye with something more flatly generic.

By the end of the film I realized that not only was the villain an entirely CGI creation, but so were his flying henchman. This means the entire movie involves all these characters we like fighting cartoons, which gives the film no stakes. It all feels like a video game.

Of course these movies are going to have a lot of effects, but if everyone is standing in front of a green screen swinging

their Styrofoam weapons at shit that isn’t there, then we have no texture or palate to hang the movie from.

But...it is the Justice League. If all you want is characters you love teaming up to fight evil, then I suppose you could do worse. From my perspective, this movie almost broke me. I had fun watching it while also feeling numb from the spectacle and destruction. I’m not sure if this is growing up or if I’m just dead inside, but I think I’m ready for something with a soul. SW

I

believe I’ve watched every single superhero/comic book movie ever made. I even looked it up. Even the unreleased “Fantastic Four” movie produced by Roger Corman and the terrible late-‘70s “Captain America” took a spin through my VCR. After dozens (if not hundreds) of these movies, “Justice League” was the first one to give me genuine superhero fatigue.

“Justice League” is the culmination of the DC Comics Extended Universe that has included “Man of Steel,” “Batman v. Superman,” “Suicide Squad” and “Wonder Woman.” There are also 19 more movies in the Universe slated to be released over the next decade, including another shot at “Green Lantern,” and “Shazam,” a Harley Quinn and Joker movie, and the first live action “Lobo.”

I love all those characters. DC comics are filled with iconic heroes and villains, but the cinematic universe hasn’t captured what makes any of these characters captivating. Director Zack Snyder has shepherded the DCEU since “Man of Steel,” showing a fundamental disdain for the character of Superman.

Snyder has also failed to learn any lessons from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe by designing the films around a series of action set pieces instead of focusing on what makes the characters special. Compare the care taken with Heath Ledger’s pre-DCEU Joker with Jared Leto’s “Suicide Squad” Juggalo version and its not only easy to see the Snyder’s seams showing, but then there’s also the fact that there isn’t really any cohesion to the series at all.

Life Lessons

Three Movies to Be Thankful For

By Jared Rasic 43

I

I never thought a Jim Carrey movie could be so heartbreakingly beautiful and romantic. The modern traditions of Thanksgiving remind us about the family we are born into, compared to the one we choose for ourselves. For all of “Eternal Sunshine’s” gorgeous directorial flourishes (Michel Gondry still hasn’t made a movie half this good), the idea that we sometimes don’t choose who we love is perhaps even more remarkable.

There are the people in our lives we can’t imagine existing without; our lives seem fuzzy and unfocused before they were a part of it. What makes “Eternal Sunshine” such a perfect film is that, depending on the kind of person you are, the movie can either be seen as a hauntingly depressing view of co-dependence and mental illness, or as hopelessly romantic haiku about finding your soul mate and fighting to make the relationship work. “Eternal Sunshine” reveals just as much about the viewer as it does about itself.

I’m thankful this movie taught me how to love.

Her Spike Jonze’s 2013 masterpiece helped me get over a breakup I didn’t think I was ever going to move past. On its surface, “Her” is a science-fiction

romance about a nerdy guy who falls in love with his operating system (voiced

by Scarlett Johansson) and has the most serious relationship of his life with someone who doesn’t really exist.

The central idea in “Her,” which helped me move through the heartbreak, is that sometimes one person in a relationship evolves, even as the other person stays stagnant. Instead of searching for blame or picking apart the things we could have done differently, “Her” speculates that, as heartbreaking as it can be to experience someone moving past you, in the end all we can really do is love each other in the best way we know how.

I’m thankful this movie taught me how to break up.

’m thankful for movies. I know it’s a pretty silly thing to say when there are so many things that are much more important in the grand scheme of things. Sure, I’m also grateful for my friends and family and health, but cinema has the capacity to change how I view the world and exist on a daily basis.

There’s nothing quite as profound as looking around my small pocket of the universe after a movie is over and realizing something in my consciousness has shifted. With that said, here are a few movies I’m grateful for this Thanksgiving—movies that changed my brain and that made me, if not a better person, then a different one.

Active, Indoors or Out

With feats including scaling Smith Rock and increased participation in Pole Pedal Paddle—the program aimed at helping disabled people experience the outdoors is having its “best year yet.”

OAS gives those with limited mobility opportunities to get outside.

T

wenty years ago, a group of locals with a love of skiing and the outdoors had the idea to start an adaptive ski program for people with limited mobility.

Jack Alexander, Kendall Cook and Colleen Dougherty may not have imagined that the seed they planted back then would grow into the program that exists today. Originally known as the Central Oregon Adaptive Skiing Program, and focused on skiing programs in the winter, the current iteration, Oregon Adaptive Sports, has grown into a year-round program promoting participation in outdoor activities including downhill skiing, Nordic skiing, golfing, kayaking, cycling, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, paddleboarding and yoga. In the words of the current Executive Director, Pat Addabbo, OAS “has made an investment in empowering people of all abilities to fully engage in the outdoors.”

Bend stand out as the most inclusive community in the outdoors arena by being an “all ability, all activity-focused” organization. Though this may seem like a lofty goal, he feels they’re already experiencing success, and that they are celebrating the best year ever for OAS. Thus far in 2017, the program has served over 350 individuals, ages three to 101, with over 30 different disabilities or impairments. Additionally, over that same period, more than 300 volunteers helped out.

The organizers say increased participation in major events, such as Pole Pedal Paddle, is another way of gauging success. OAS clientele have participated in the PPP over the years, but it wasn’t until 2013 that a six-person OAS team participated. In 2017, there were six OAS teams with 50 participants, demonstrating how the activities are moving from being unique to the norm. Another big event this year: On Oct. 6, seven

Oregon Adaptive Sports aims to provide "life changing outdoor recreation experiences to individuals with disabilities."

I recently sat down with Addabbo, who’s been with OAS about two years, first as Program Director and now as Executive Director, and Nancy Stevens, Outreach Coordinator for the program, who’s also blind and has been a longtime participant, volunteer and mentor. Both say that the focus of the program is not just about breaking down barriers, but also changing how others view people with disabilities.

Addabbo and Stevens say people with disabilities are often given labels and are met with low expectations as to what they can do. The goal of OAS is to cultivate empowerment and independence in an effort to address both of these issues.

Addabbo says one aim of OAS has been to have

OAS participants, along with seven volunteers and two staff members, scaled Smith Rock.

This summer, OAS began an adaptive rock climbing club in partnership with Bend Rock Gym. That led to a partnership with Timberline Mountain Guides and, spurred by the vision of staffer Kellie Standish, the group decided to take the experience outdoors—culminating in the Smith Rock Climb. Stevens, who participated in the climb and who holds the distinction of being the first blind woman to climb the 13,776-foot Grand Teton mountain, says this is a prime example of how OAS provides opportunities that build self-esteem for participants.

From my conversation with Addabbo and Stevens,

45

it became clear that underlying all that OAS does is incredible support from the community, from volunteers to businesses that support their efforts. Mt. Bachelor and Hoodoo have supported OAS’ adaptive ski programs for years, with a full range of programs and lessons offered at both locations. Awbrey Glen Golf Club has supported an adaptive golf program, with a monthly adaptive golf clinic during the summer months, as well as the opportunity for participants to use the practice course at no charge.

Challenges continue to present themselves, however, from providing transportation (they’ve recently acquired a bus), to acquiring specialized equipment (the minimum cost of an adaptive mountain bike is $6,000), to maintaining strong staff and volunteer numbers. In spite of these challenges, Addabbo and Stevens say OAS never loses sight of the mission to provide, “life-changing outdoor recreation experiences to individuals with disabilities,” while envisioning “a day when everyone has the benefits of outdoor recreation, regardless of ability.” SW

Elephant Lessons: Expert coming to Sisters to share work on the troubled animal

By Jim Anderson troubled elephants.

An elephant’s skin color is grey, and it’s similar to the texture of linoleum.

The largest recorded elephant was shot in Angola in 1974. It weighed 27,060 pounds (13.5 tons) and stood 13 feet 8 inches tall. And that, dear reader, is the most horrifying thing elephants face today: being shot for sport, mainly for their ivory tusks.

At birth, an elephant calf will weigh around 225 pounds, watched over by every female in its close-knit family.

The gestation period lasts around 20 to 22 months, longer than any other land animal.

In the wild, elephants have strong family relationships, and their ways of interacting with each other have been difficult for people to understand. We know they “talk” to each other with sounds so low humans cannot hear them. Miller will share what scientists have learned regarding other methods elephants use to communicate.

Miller’s a humanitarian and conservation photographer with a passion for enhancing appreciation of our biosphere, and awareness of the challenges

The most horrifying thing elephants face today: being shot for sport—mainly for their ivory tusks.

Perhaps that’s what opened the doors to science for Miller—trying to stay warm in winters at minus-30 below. But whatever did it, he has become a wonderful spokesperson for helping people in need due to medical issues, and the welfare of the largest living land mammal on Planet Earth, our treasured and

facing our planet. He’s titled his program, “Pachyderm Intrigue & Elephant Lessons.” The presentation explores the sophisticated nature of elephant society and communication as illustrated by the research of biologists, Katy Payne and Caitlin O’Connell, and enhanced by the volunteer desert elephant conservation

work Miller has done with the nonprofit: Elephant Human Relations Aide in Namibia.

Also trained as a registered nurse, Miller has done volunteer medical work in El Salvador, Haiti and China. He finds his travels contribute to the creation of his humanitarian images. “Invisible Gift” is the title of his recently completed print display, featuring images expressing goodwill—that non-material, seemingly invisible gift shared among people of the world.

Don Miller gained a special interest in elephants after first photographing them in 1983 at the Washington Park Zoo (now

n Nov. 28, the Belfry in Sisters will be echoing with the sounds of elephants trumpeting and stamping their feet in greeting. Don Miller, a wondrous photographer and lecturer—and also an outstanding humanitarian— will be there to tell us about his travels around the world, his help for people with medical issues and his work with elephants on the Namibian desert.

Perhaps unbeknownst to Miller, his program actually had its beginning back in the ‘60s, during the “Sputnik Era,” when science was hot in the schools worldwide. We crossed trails when he enrolled in the various science activities at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland, where I was the staff naturalist. We’ve been good pals ever since.

Miller spent his early life on a wheat ranch in the coldest place in Oregon’s winters, Pilot Rock, north of Burns.

For years, the Portland TV stations’ weather reports would carry the (way) below-zero reports from Pilot Rock that made the little town the best-known record-breaker for the coldest place in Oregon.

Time to Winterize Your Home

L

Gutters Cleaning gutters and downspouts is very important. Neglecting this job— admittedly not very much fun—can lead to lots of damage to your home, but you don’t want to be stuck doing this once bad weather has started. Gutters that are clogged can cause your roof to leak and create ice dams when it snows. We had this issue on many roofs last winter.

Roof and Exterior Check your roof for loose, missing, or damaged shingles. This is particularly important after last year’s severe storms, which damaged many roofs.

Checking your siding for cracks and peeling paint is a good idea, particularly on the side of your home most exposed to the elements.

Bungalows at NWX

Pipes and Sprinklers If you haven’t had your sprinklers blown out yet, get this done as soon as possible. It’s also important to disconnect your hoses from the hose bibs and shut off all outside faucets completely before the first hard freeze. Getting inexpensive Styrofoam protective faucet covers provides additional protection for exposed hose bibs.

Heating System Making sure your heating system is in good condition so it does not break down in frigid weather is important, particularly if you have an older furnace.

Just like you might get your car checked before embarking on a long road trip, the same concept applies to having a professional check your heating system.

If you have a fireplace, make sure your chimney is clean and safe, particularly if it’s been a while since it was cleaned.

Be Ready for Winter Have key items including a snow shovel, snow melt, snow rake, snow blower, etc. before a big snow storm hits, so you’re not caught without necessities that sell out quickly. This is particularly relevant for new residents to our community who may not be familiar with these necessary chores. Keeping track of these few things can help prevent disasters and ensure pleasant holiday gatherings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 47 / November 23, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ike it or not, winter is coming early as usual, with Mt Bachelor already open and more snow in the forecast.

Last winter is a strong memory to many local minds in terms of the damage that occurred to residential and commercial buildings. The extreme weather meant you couldn’t find the things you needed to prevent damage, when we discovered as snow melt, snow shovels, gloves, and snow rakes quickly being sold out.

A recent real estate industry article reminded me of the need to be better prepared this year, offering a list of suggested items to prepare your home for winter.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Wedding Duress

I’ve been living with my high-school sweetheart (from 20 years ago) for two blissful years. However, he’s still married to his ex (though they’ve been separated for 10 years). Every dollar he has goes into the business he’s building or child support, so I’m paying all the bills. I want to get married and start a family, but beyond his not being divorced, he doesn’t want to marry again or have children…at this time. He says this could change in the future.

—Clock’s Ticking You know you can count on him to “put a ring on it” — when he sets his beer down without a coaster on your vintage lacquered Donghia side table.

It actually isn’t surprising that you’ve managed to maintain hope — even as your loverman stops just short of tackling you at weddings to keep you from catching the bouquet. Brain imaging studies by anthropologist Helen Fisher and her colleagues find that our love for another person is not merely a feeling. In fact, as she put it in a talk, love is “a motivation system; it’s a drive; it’s part of the reward system of the brain.”

Fisher further explains in her book “Why We Love”: “When a reward is delayed, dopamine-producing cells in the brain increase their work, pumping out more of this natural stimulant to energize the brain, focus attention, and drive the pursuer to strive even harder to acquire a reward.” (Welcome to the factory where “Only him!” gets made.)

In reality, there are probably a number of love-worthy aspiring Mr. Minivans out there.

However, you’re blind to this because getting your boyfriend to hubby up (and daddy up) has become a goal, energizing the human motivational system and all of its neurochemical enablers.

Psychologically, the more momentum you gain in pursuing something the less interest you have in exploring whether it even makes sense. Physiologically, surging dopamine and other neurochemicals basically become punks giving rational thought a beat-down so you can keep mindlessly chasing your goal.

To drag rational thought into the mix, pause the misty mental footage of this guy someday “putting a ring on it” and put some numbers on your chances — Vegas bookie-style. Things to factor: How likely is he to come around on the marriage thing? Babies?

And if there’s a chance he’d agree to make some, how likely is it to happen before your ovaries put out the “Sorry, We’re Closed” sign?

Express the odds in percentages — as in, “He’s X percent likely to do Y” — basing your guesses on his prior Amy Alkon behavior, values, etc.

Lay out the percentages visually, by drawing a pie chart. This is helpful because we’re bad at understanding odds expressed in abstractions — vague ideas like “He might marry me!” We’re better when the odds are represented in concrete ways — ways we can pick up with one of our five senses. That pie chart, for example, is a picture of how likely it is that the only way you two will ever have a baby is if some sleepless new parent drops by and accidentally leaves one of their triplets on your couch.

ASTROLOGY

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Journalist

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s observe a moment of silence for the illusion that is in the process of disintegrating. It has been a pretty illusion, hasn’t it? Filled with hope and gusto, it has fueled you with motivation. But then again — on second thought — its prettiness was more the result of clever packaging than inner beauty. The hope was somewhat misleading, the gusto contained more than a little bluster, and the fuel was an inefficient source of motivation. Still, let’s observe a moment of silence anyway. Even dysfunctional mirages deserve to be mourned. Besides, its demise will fertilize a truer and healthier and prettier dream that will contain a far smaller portion of illusion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Judging from the astrological omens, I conclude that the upcoming weeks will be a favorable time for you to engage in experiments befitting a mad scientist. You can achieve interesting results as you commune with powerful forces that are usually beyond your ability to command. You could have fun and maybe also attract good luck as you dream and scheme to override the rules. What pleasures have you considered to be beyond your capacity to enjoy? It wouldn’t be crazy for you to flirt with them. You have license to be saucy, sassy, and extra sly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A snail can slowly crawl over the edge of a razor blade without hurting itself. A few highly trained experts, specialists in the art of mind over matter, are able to walk barefoot over beds of hot coals without getting burned.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Pisces, you now have the metaphorical equivalent of powers like these. To ensure they’ll operate at peak efficiency, you must believe in yourself more than you ever have before. Luckily, life is now conspiring to help you do just that.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In alignment with the current astrological omens, I have prepared your horoscope using five hand-plucked aphorisms

by Aries poet Charles Bernstein. 1. “You never know what invention will look like or else it wouldn’t be invention.” 2. “So much depends on what you are expecting.” 3. “What’s missing from the bird’s eye view is plain to see on the ground.” 4. “The questioning of the beautiful is always at least as important as the establishment of the beautiful.” 5. “Show me a man with two feet planted firmly on the ground and I’ll show you a man who can’t get his pants on.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It may seem absurd for a dreamy oracle like me to give economic advice to Tauruses, who are renowned as being among the zodiac’s top cash attractors. Is there anything I can reveal to you that you don’t already know?

Well, maybe you’re not aware that the next four weeks will be prime time to revise and refine your long-term financial plans. It’s possible you haven’t guessed the time is right to plant seeds that will produce lucrative yields by 2019. And maybe you don’t realize that you can now lay the foundation for bringing more wealth into your life by raising your generosity levels.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I used to have a girlfriend whose mother hated Christmas. The poor woman had been raised in a fanatical fundamentalist Christian sect, and she drew profound solace and pleasure from rebelling against that religion’s main holiday. One of her annual traditions

was to buy a small Christmas tree and hang it upside-down from the ceiling. She decorated it with ornamental dildos she had made out of clay. While I understood her drive for revenge and appreciated the entertaining way she did it, I felt pity for the enduring ferocity of her rage. Rather than mocking the old ways, wouldn’t her energy have been much better spent inventing new ways? If there is any comparable situation in your own life, Gemini, now would be a perfect time to heed my tip. Give up your attachment to the negative emotions that arose in response to past frustrations and failures. Focus on the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): So begins the “I Love To Worry” season for you Cancerians. Even now, bewildering self-doubts are working their way up toward your conscious awareness from your unconscious depths. You may already be overreacting in anticipation of the anxiety-provoking fantasies that are coalescing. But wait! It doesn’t have to be that way. I’m here to tell you that the bewildering self-doubts and anxiety-provoking fantasies are at most ten percent accurate. They’re not even close to being half-true! Here’s my advice: Do NOT go with the flow, because the flow will drag you down into ignominious habit. Resist all tendencies towards superstition, moodiness, and melodramatic descents into hell. One thing you can do to help accomplish this brave uprising is to sing beloved songs with maximum feeling.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your lucky numbers are 55 and 88. By tapping into the uncanny powers of 55 and 88, you can escape the temptation of a hexed fiction and break the spell of a mediocre addiction.

These catalytic codes could wake you up to a useful secret you’ve been blind to. They might help you catch the attention of familiar strangers or shrink one of your dangerous angers. When you call on 55 or 88 for inspiration, you may be motivated to seek a more dynamic accomplishment beyond your comfortable success. You could reactivate an important desire that has been dormant.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What exactly is the epic, overarching goal that you live for? What is the higher purpose that lies beneath every one of your daily activities? What is the heroic identity you were born to create but have not yet fully embodied? You may not be close to knowing the answers to those questions right now, Virgo. In fact, I’m guessing your fear of meaninglessness might be at a peak.

Luckily, a big bolt of meaningfulness is right around the corner. Be alert for it. In a metaphorical sense, it will arrive from the depths. It will strengthen your center of gravity as it reveals lucid answers to the questions I posed in the beginning of this horoscope.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): We all need teachers.

We all need guides and instructors and sources of inspiration from the day we’re born until the day we die. In a perfect world, each of us would always have a personal mentor who’d help us fill the gaps in our learning and keep us focused on the potentials that are crying out to be nurtured in us. But since most of us don’t have that personal mentor, we have to fend for ourselves. We’ve got to be proactive as we push on to the next educational frontier. The next four weeks will be an excellent time for you to do just that, Libra.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is your last warning! If you don’t stop fending off the happiness and freedom that are trying to worm their way into your life, I’m going to lose my cool. Damn it! Why can’t you just accept good luck and sweet strokes of fate at face value?! Why do you have to be so suspicious and mistrustful?! Listen to me: The abundance that’s lurking in your vicinity is not the set-up for a cruel cosmic joke. It’s not some wicked game designed to raise your expectations and then dash them to pieces. Please, Scorpio, give in and let the good times wash over you.

James A. Fussell defined “thrashing” as “the act of tapping helter-skelter over a computer keyboard in an attempt to find ‘hidden’ keys that trigger previously undiscovered actions in a computer program.” I suggest we use this as a metaphor for your life in the next two weeks.

BD is great. A cannabinoid that doesn’t get you high (and actually levels off or reduces THC’s effects when introduced together), but has all sorts of awesome benefits like treating epilepsy, pain, nausea, inflammation, insomnia and even cancer. I’m pro-CBD. Unlike cannabis, I have yet to meet a single CBD prohibitionist, waving “CBDon’t!” signs at rallies and warning against the “violent multinational organized hemp cartels threatening our children.” (Not saying they don’t exist.

Times is cray-cray, y’all.)

Even rabidly anti-cannabis states such as Georgia and Alabama now allow CBD to be used for specific ailments.

Because no Georgia politician wants to appear “pro pediatric seizure, apparently. Those states allow CBD products, provided they have no more than 3 percent THC relative to CBD, so a product with 10 mg CBD could have no more than .3 mg of THC. My cat has a higher THC content than that.

Which isn’t an issue, except we know CBD is an entourage/ensemble cannabinoid that, for some uses, works better when introduced with higher ratios of THC. So there is a camp that believes the best CBD is taken from a cannabis plant’s buds and leaves.

But CBD is also found in hemp, and as hemp has a naturally low-THC content, hemp- derived CBD is increasingly available in products so ubiquitous that they show up in sponsored ads on Facebook.

Critics decry that form of CBD as inferior to cannabis plant-extracted CBD. Hemp fans respond that CBD with miniscule amounts of THC is legal to ship across state lines. And if you are hoping the Feds can help sort out what’s “best,” oh honey child…

But what about CBD produced without cannabis or hemp plants? What then, well-educated trousers? And is that even a thing, or am I just super high again?

Both. The answer is both. I know this because I received a 1,000 mg sample of a new botanically-derived CBD that was a single gram in weight. Its white powder barely totaled a tablespoon, if that;

25 mg mixed in some tea made me warm and sleepy, so it works.

Jake Cormier, President of Portland-based Clear Bright Dawn, gave me the breakdown, and sent over extensive third party certification and analysis that its PureForm CBD “consistently tests above 99.7 percent as pure, molecular CBD.” And that, in its crystalline form, is virtually tasteless and odorless.

(True.) They go on to say that “trace remnants make up a .02 percent remaining portion. These include: (1) less than .01 percent propylene glycol (< 1,000/ ppm) – a GRAS Class I food solvent; (2) less than .001 percent (< 100/ppm) ethanol; (3) a trace of a natural, orange citrus terpene.”

It’s food grade, free of solvents, all natural, organic (though non-certified), water/oil soluble and “created from abundant, natural plant materials.” Natural plant materials such as... Devil’s Lettuce? I asked Cormier, who replied it’s a combination of “citrus byproduct and the evergreen bark from an invasive species commonly found.” There are patents pending, and proprietary tech and such, so as to which evergreen bark from what particular invasive species, I can’t tell you for now, because I don’t know.

But I do know that because no cannabis or hemp plants were hurt during its production, the Drug Enforcement Agency and any other agencies getting the vapors over the possibility that the finished product may have the merest whiff of THC can chill out. No cannabis = no THC, narcos.

Pure Form Botanicals, the L.A-based company that handles the manufacturing duties, tout that the product is free from solvents used in extraction, so is better for research, and is up to one-third the cost of other comparable CBD products.

In an ideal world, we would have access to CBD and THC without overreaching, prohibitionist rulemaking, regardless of the source of those cannabinoids. But we don’t (yet), and if a clean, pure form of inexpensive CBD can be made from citrus and evergreen bark? I’m down, because more access to CBD is a great thing.
