BLM pick is wrong direction for agency

I

f you were one of the many who reacted in dismay when Ammon Bundy and some of the other occupiers were acquitted after their takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, you’ll probably be interested in the latest developments in the selection process for the head of the BLM. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke has named Wyoming attorney, Karen BuddFalen, as his pick to head the Bureau of Land Management. Budd-Falen is known for her work representing the Bundy clan in the ‘80s and ‘90s in Nevada, following Cliven Bundy’s years-long refusal to pay grazing fees on public lands. She’s also notorious for going after individual BLM employees under RICO, the anti-racketeering law that is typically used to prosecute organized crime. Budd Falen lost that case by a unanimous decision in the U.S.

Supreme Court. That was just one of this nominee’s many clashes with the BLM—the agency tasked with managing tens of millions of acres of public lands, which she could now lead. She’s also advocated time and again against tenets of the Endangered Species Act. In short, Budd Falen has spent her career opposing the work of the BLM and public lands advocates.

Perhaps the only up-side to this is that thus far, the process for confirming the current president’s nominees has been grindingly slow. With that in mind, there may still be time to share your dismay about this nominee. The BLM should be run by someone who understands the value of public lands and their role in protecting the wider environment. SW

Pursuing a better future for the Deschutes River

By Ryan Houston, Executive Director, Upper Deschutes Watershed Council

A

Pasta

Made from Scratch Daily.

lthough the debates surrounding Mirror Pond have dragged on for years, there are now two actionable proposals on the table: the Bend Park and Recreation District is updating portions of Drake Park while a group of local citizens is preparing a dredging project. Together, these may represent more than $10 million worth of activity that will influence the future of the pond.

Both of these projects have brought renewed debates about the future of the pond and how we manage the river and its habitat.

From the perspective of river health, the projects present a tension: on the one hand, Mirror Pond plays a relatively small role in the overall health of the river and, consequently, what happens in Mirror Pond will not govern the long-term fate of the Deschutes.

On the other hand, the Deschutes River is the iconic representation of the natural world through downtown Bend. While not a wild river, the river brings water, wildlife, reflection and open space for those who float, paddle, walk, jog, sit or saunter there throughout the year.

Bats, birds, fish, otter and many other critters live here, carving out an existence among the tubers, paddlers and errant Frisbees.

Although the fate of Mirror Pond will not determine the fate of the Deschutes, the decisions we make about these projects are important because they become an expression of how we view our role as stewards of the Deschutes. They reflect how we weave together human “wants” and the river’s “needs,” and how seriously we, as a community, take our responsibility as caretakers of the river. What do we want our actions on these projects to say about our community’s commitment to a healthy river?

In spite of the conflict and disagreement often cited in the news, there is considerable alignment in the community’s dedication to a healthy river. A statistically-based 2015 City of Bend poll found that 77 percent of respondents feel that “providing improved water quality, river banks and wildlife habitat” is “extremely important” in the future planning for Mirror Pond. A smaller but significant proportion of respondents (60 percent) feel that “ensuring historic aesthetic and pond views are maintained” is “extremely important.” (error: ±4.9 percent)

Some quick math tells us that many of these people—the people who want to see improved habitat and maintenance of the historic conditions—are likely the same people. They care very deeply about both the health of the river and the character of Mirror Pond. Where does this leave us on the projects before us today?

First, let’s explicitly acknowledge the needs of the river as a basic starting point for every project that affects the river. Currently, water clarity is poor, nutrients and warm temperatures bring excessive algal growth, sedimentation smothers habitat, trampling along the banks chases out wildlife, and water quality doesn’t meet Oregon standards. Any publicly-supported project along the river should incorporate specific goals focused on improving these conditions.

Second, public funding should not be used to dredge Mirror Pond. If there are discretionary public funds available for river projects, those funds should be invested in projects that improve the health of the river, not bring the water quality and habitat impacts that would come with dredging.

If private interests choose to invest private funds into dredging privately-owned sediment from private property, they can do this.

The desire to dredge is understandable but the cost, both financially and ecologically, does not merit public investment.

Third, we should utilize the most innovative approaches to managing urban rivers in the Drake Park update. Let’s create spaces—overlooks, boardwalks, plazas—for people to engage with the river, enjoy the iconic views and access the water without trampling the vegetation that makes for a healthy river and beautiful scenery. Create robust, healthy habitat so the park and river remain alive with birds, bats, trout, otter and others. Dispense with sterilizing rip-rap and retaining walls by weaving in habitat that supports wildlife and contributes to cleaner water. These types of approaches are not difficult, they just require commitment, creativity and intention.

These steps won’t solve all of the issues on the river but they will help ensure that public investments adequately reflect our values and contribute to a healthier Deschutes River. SW

We must never forget certain anniversaries.

With the recent escalation of gun violence in this country, it is even more important this December to commemorate the fifth anniversary of both the Newtown and Clackamas Town Center shootings. And we must remember the thousands who have died at the hands of violent men with guns before and since these events. At times we feel powerless, sensing there is nothing we can do because the NRA (National Rifle Association) has such a hold on our government.

A British journalist recently stated, “The gun control debate ended with Newtown.

Once America decided it was OK to kill children the debate ended.”

I refuse to be so defeatist. There is change on the horizon, and we can all help make it happen by calling, writing or texting our legislators to voice our concerns. Federal legislation has been introduced in both the House and the Senate to close loopholes in the background check system related to domestic violence. There are also moves to have the so called “bump stocks” and assault rifles more regulated.

Unfortunately, the gun lobby is continuing efforts to loosen our already lax gun safety laws with the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. This would essentially allow concealed weapons to be carried without a background check or safety training, including by the adjudicated mentally ill and domestic violence offenders. We need to convey to our senators and representatives that such legislation is dangerous and urge them to oppose SB 446 and HR 38.

The best way to honor the victims of these tragedies is to join the action. Speak up, write, call and vote your conscience.

IN RESPONSE TO, “THE DREDGING OF MIRROR POND.” (11/22) The complexity of this issue continues to grow. I for one believe that the “investors” and the citizen proponents of saving this icon are “barking up the wrong tree” and are on the wrong side of history. The City of Bend does not have the funds or the mandate of its citizens to use public funds for this effort.

The City has competing priorities, i.e. accessibility, sidewalks, streets and roads, bridges, public transit and other infrastructure. The Bend Park and Recreation District are likely tapped out with the public in terms of bonding. They are much better suited to building trails and replenishing the river banks.

The real answer lies to creating a Local Improvement District (LID) and seeking

the approval of local property owners who directly benefit from the pond with scenic, livability and higher property values in their neighborhood.

If the majority of property owners owning more than 51 percent of the affected property agree they can fund this effort in perpetuity, they can pay for the upkeep (dredging) every 15 – 20 years and if they wish, purchase the PPL (Pacific Power) dam at a price the company can justify to its ratepayers both locally and nationally.

The LID boundaries “could” be the Portland Avenue bridge on the north, Reed Market Road on the south, the Tetherow Development on Skyline Drive on the west

and Third Street on the east.

LID formations are the future for the City of Bend going forward, we might as well start with Mirror Pond today.

have been trying to figure out a way, as a white man, to write about the mounting evidence that we are all horrible. Who needs to hear what I say about this?

Some guys are staying away from writing about this because they’ve behaved badly and they don’t want to be hypocrites or get caught. Can Glenn Thrush (NYT) write credibly about Trump’s assaults when his own aggression and follow-up apology emails are now on full display? This column’s women readers may feel dissatisfied with your reflections. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.—M.F. I made a list of every man I’ve ever known who I’d put my 401K on the line that they’ve 1) Never harassed someone at work 2) Never coerced a woman for sex 3) Never could be perceived by a woman as doing any of the above.

There are four men on my list and I’m 42. Maybe we’re now seeing men for who they are. Even the “good” men.

The “good men” need to see themselves as they are, not how they want to be seen.—M.F. I’ve been talking to parent friends about raising boys to be good men. Is this even possible?-M.F. But in the absence of an idea of what the good man may even be like, I worry that the more racist a man is the more likely he is to be believed and his victims vilified. Donald Trump and Roy Moore are only the most obvious examples.

I was talking to a nominally progressive guy in San Francisco and he said, “I mean, it just seems like we can’t win.

It feels like no matter what we do, it’s never enough.” This guy despises Roy Moore but he feels misunderstood and attacked for being a man in the Me Too moment. There’s some solidarity between Mobile, AL and the Bay Area after all.—M.F. Sixteen women have gone on record to say they were sexually assaulted or harassed by Donald Trump. He himself admitted to assaulting women in the Access Hollywood tape. There are further allegations that he raped a 13-yearold. He was elected.

It’s not a coincidence that the

Women’s March was the first mass movement under Trump. Trump will get away with his sexual assaults. Still, there’s something that’s happened to me since he got elected that has changed the way I see men. A friend told me she is sick of men. Me too. I’m having a hard time staying patient with men who pontificate. I think I’m holding regular guys (bosses, landlords, men on blind dates) accountable in a way I didn’t use to because I know Trump won’t be held accountable. Is that why so many women are participating in this national mass disclosure movement? If you can’t hold the president accountable, may as well make sure your boss isn’t a miniTrump. —M.F. More than 50 percent of white women voters checked the box for Donald Trump, even after all of this was known.

He also defeated the first woman nominee. I think that matters but I’m not entirely sure how. Why are the women feeling any level of confidence to tell their stories with THIS guy as president? I’d think it would have been safer to disclose when Obama, a self-declared feminist, was in charge. Why now?— M.F. It’s weird that we’ve turned all of this horror into a partisan issue, but that is partially what it has become. And the Democrats are responding horribly.

It is unbelievable that the Clintons threw themselves an anniversary celebration of the 1992 win. I’ve always believed that Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick in the 1970s. It was disgusting to see the Democratic party luminaries celebrating Clinton. Bill Clinton and Donald Trump got away with sexual assault and got elected. Democrats need to reject Bill Clinton to have any credibility on Trump.—M.F. Rather than seeing this as an opportunity to truly interrogate themselves and what they are as a party, they want Franken to stay because they see it as politically advantageous.

Is there any gradation in how we judge what all these men did? My women friends say things like, “If it’s a onetime ass grab and the guy got scolded, that’s different than a serial predator.”

Should the consequences be applied bluntly or is there any room for nuance?

I mean, I don’t want a boss who even grabbed one ass. But, would I be okay with a one-time ass-grab senator if he votes to keep Obamacare? I’m not sure how to judge.—M.F. SW

Staying in the Top Seat

After acquittals in the Malheur trial, some speculated Billy Williams wouldn't get the Oregon U.S. Attorney job. They were wrong.

By Magdalena Bokowa

Not rocking the boat The nomination, widely supported by both Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-OR and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-OR, is seen by some as a safe move meant to avoid upsetting the order at the U.S. Attorney’s for Oregon office, previously plagued by scandal and turmoil. In an Aug. 16 letter written by both Wyden and Merkley, the senators urged the president to retain Williams in the position, stating: “Colleagues and opponents describe him as an honest prosecutor with integrity and he enjoys unique bipartisan support in Oregon.” Williams is not affiliated with any political party.

direction. An outsider risks upsetting things, and since his office hasn’t been making a lot of waves, it suggests, to at least the president and others, that he has been doing a good job.”

Yin says Williams has the additional benefit of previous federal prosecution experience and could “manage the gap,” perhaps better than Marshall who had no previous federal experience.

A 180-Degree Turn To move may also seem like a surprise since it was only a year ago when Williams’ office was accused of fumbling a major case: the acquittals of members of the Bundy gang in the armed occupation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

“That was such an unexpected result,” says Yin, “it was such a winning case and we all thought it was a slam dunk.”

Yin speculates the public and the administration have perhaps forgotten the issue because of the convictions that occurred later in the year—and that there were no “serious missteps” by the prosecution in the first trials.

Local Support, Little Change Williams is vastly supported by the Oregon law enforcement community. Deschutes County District Attor-

“We all have bosses [Jeff Sessions] we need to listen to. So if your boss says we’re tough on drugs then yes, theoretically you are tough on drugs.” ­— TUNG YIN “The thing to keep in mind is typically these positions and district court judge nominations are technically nominated by the U.S. president, but the senators traditionally have a lot of influence,” says Tung Yin, a criminal and national security law professor at Portland’s Lewis & Clark Law School.

“My sense is that they have very little to be cooperative with the president about,” Yin says, “so perhaps yes, you do only have so much energy to fight so many things. They seem to like Billy Williams and he’s not worth this fight.”

The only other frontrunner for the position—state Rep. Mike McLane of Powell Butte, nominated by Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, gained little traction.

Williams has already held the spot for two years as interim attorney, after officials from the Department of Justice accused his predecessor, Amanda Marshall, of having an affair with a subordinate. Willamette Week reported it went as far as stalking. Marshall denied all claims.

“I wasn’t surprised by the nomination,” says Yin, “...generally you only bring an outsider in when you want to, let’s say as president, emphasize a new

ney John Hummel praises his superior, who he’s worked under for two years.

“He’s always been responsive to the needs of my office and the residents of Deschutes County,” says Hummel, who added that he was “excited” about the nomination and hoped Congress would quickly confirm him.

“Billy was there to help us hold former Deschutes County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Beard accountable for his theft of money from the Sheriff’s office,” said Hummel. “He worked with me and my deputies to bring to justice Nika Larsen, the Oregon State Police crime lab analyst who tampered with drug evidence.”

And that failed Malheur conviction?

Hummel says that Williams’ reaction was “most noteworthy,” saying, “rather than retreating to his camp he reached out to me and other law enforcement officials in central and eastern Oregon to discuss ways to build positive working relationships with our communities.” By contrast, media outlets reported Williams was nowhere to be found at a press conference the day after the acquittals.

Rorie Solberg, an associate professor at Oregon State University’s School of

Public Policy, says if Williams “has the nomination, there shouldn’t be much trouble with the confirmation,” even if only 14 of Trump’s 59 federal nominations have been confirmed in the past 10 months. Yin agrees, saying, the “administration is moving slow.”

In a Nov. 28 article in The Washington Post, Solberg and co-author Eric N. Waltenburg note that Trump has had an above-average number of positions to fill—nearly twice as many as Barack Obama when he started his first term, largely because, “after Republicans regained control of the Senate in the 2014 elections, they refused to confirm almost all of Obama’s judicial nominees,” they wrote.

Trump’s nominations (referring to the judicial, not executive positions) seem to be following a national trend, “to put a lot of white men in federal courts,” failing, as the authors put it, to contribute to “intersectionality.”

So will Williams bow to Sessions’ hard stance on drugs and immigration? Yin doesn’t think so—at least not drastically.

“We all have bosses we need to listen to,” he says, “So if your boss says we’re tough on drugs then yes, theoretically you are tough on drugs.” But as Yin puts it, “Two-thirds of federal cases are already drug or immigration related...so it’s not like there isn’t already a lot of attention to these crimes.

“Where you might see a little give is in the margins,” he continues, “so if his office is deciding between taking a drug or immigration case against a white collar fraud case, they may lean towards drugs or immigration—and the white collar guys may have a heyday—but I think he’s very conscious of balancing it out. We don’t expect much to change once we take the acting off his title.

Things should remain the same.” SW

On Nov. 17, President Trump officially nominated Billy J. Williams as the U.S. Attorney for Oregon—the state’s top federal law position, answering to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Sessions is known for his hard stance on both drugs and illegal immigration—threatening to even pull federal funding from “sanctuary cities” such as Portland—leading some experts to deduce he’ll put pressure on Williams to prosecute such crimes with stricter penalties.

Elevating Women in Politics

Emerge Oregon offers resources to Democratic women looking to throw their hat in the ring

By Keely Damara

W

omen make up 19.4 percent of the U.S. Congress and 24.8 percent of state legislatures.

The numbers are even more disproportionate at the local level, where women make up just 18.8 percent of mayors in cities with a population over 30,000.

This, according to the Emerge America website, is where the Emerge candidate training for Democratic women comes in. Emerge was founded in 2005 with a goal to increase the number of women in public office through heavy recruitment, training and networking.

Over the last 12 years, the program has expanded into 23 states, including Oregon, Colorado and California, training over 2,500 women.

Emerge expanded into Oregon in 2009, establishing an office in Portland. Jillian Schoene is the co-executive director of Emerge Oregon, joining the organization in August 2014. She’s previously worked for elected officials in Washington D.C., in Salem for former Gov. Ted Kulongoski and more recently

as a communications consultant for Kate Brown while she served as Oregon’s Secretary of State.

“I fell in love with connecting people to government,” Schoene said, “helping them navigate services or just getting information or benefits they deserved, particularly if they were a service member or a veteran. I just fell in love with that work.”

Schoene says that while Emerge’s primary goal is to train women Democrats to run for office (and win), simply encouraging women to get involved in public policymaking and politics in general is just as important.

Power in Numbers “The second Hillary (Clinton) announced her run for office, our phones and emails—my phone and email—were getting hit up by women that were finding us on the Internet,” said Schoene. “So Hillary, just by running for office, has increased the profile of our organization.”

In 2017, 120 women submitted applications for Emerge Oregon’s six-month program—20 more than last year. The board is interviewing 60 over the next several weeks; only 25 women will be selected. Schoene says the small class size, between 20 and 25, is ideal for women to share ideas and build relationships with each other.

“We had a ton of success last time,” Schoene said. “Some of them did go on to run for office and the other women who attended that training supported those women on the campaign trail, and that’s exactly what we’re looking for.”

According to the Emerge America website, 52 percent of alumnae throughout the 23 state programs have run for office or have been appointed to local boards or commissions. In the 2016 election, of the 214 alumnae appearing on the ballot, 70 percent were elected.

Schoene says that about 40 percent of Emerge Oregon alumnae have run for office. Others who haven’t are serving their communities in other ways,

such as on a city or county board or commission.

“Many of them are also working on campaigns as campaign managers or consultants or working for a firm,” said Schoene. “So I think we are achieving our mission and more.”

Called to Action Nichole van Eikeren, who participated in a one-day Emerge Oregon training in Bend in February, is one of those alumnae who didn’t run for office following her training—instead electing to manage the campaigns of other women. She attended the training thinking that she’d learn the skills to run for public office, but after hearing the stories of other women, van Eikeren changed her mind.

“It was very apparent to me that my skillset would be better used helping these other women run their campaigns,” said van Eikeren.

Before the Emerge training, van Eikeren had met a woman who was

thinking of running for office. After encouraging her to run, she said half-jokingly, “I’ll run your campaign.”

At the training she met two more women, Erica Skatvold and Lauren Sprang, who were certain they wanted to run.

By May, van Eikeren was running

media relations, fundraising and more.

While only one six-month session is held each year, Emerge Oregon also offers two-day boot camps and one-day workshops—something they’re looking to expand into more rural areas, such as small coastal communities, to reach

three campaigns for first-time female candidates; one for a school board, another for the Bend Park and Recreation District Board of Directors and a third for the Central Oregon Community College Board of Directors.

“I looked at it as an opportunity,” said Eieren. “I could run for office and maybe get elected or I could help three women get elected—and now my impact is three times as great.”

Two out of the three women she helped won their races; fellow Emerge workshop alum Skatvold won a seat on the COCC Board and Sprang was elected to the BPRD Board.

Currently, van Eikeren is managing Jamie McLeod-Skinner’s campaign for the Oregon 2nd congressional district, a seat currently held by Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River. van Eikeren met McLeod-Skinner, also an Emerge alumnae, during an Emerge Oregon fundraiser.

“I heard Jamie speak at that event and she really caught my attention,” said van Eikeren. “She had relevant experience, she’d actually been elected before—she had all ‘the stuff.’”

Reaching women in rural areas Emerge Oregon offers a few different training programs for registered-Democrat women. The most intensive training is more than six months long, requiring participants to meet one weekend day each month to cover topics such as public speaking, networking, campaigning,

women who may not be able to travel to Portland every month for the larger training program.

Emerge Oregon has held three oneday trainings this year so far, two in Bend—the last one in October—and one in Willamette Valley. Schoene says women from a variety of different backgrounds attend these “Taste of Emerge” events. The majority of attendees are active in their communities, but have not yet thrown their hat into electoral politics.

The number one question, she says, is also the most obvious one: How to get started?

Utilizing Resources Jodie Barram ran against Jeff Eager for Bend City Council in November 2008, and lost. However, that December, a month before Eager took office, Councilor Bill Friedman died. Fellow councilors tapped Barram to fill the seat. Ironically, that meant she got to sit on the council and cast her vote to certify the results of the election she had just lost.

Prior to her election, Barram was not registered with a political party. But following the defeat of Measure 65 in 2008, which would have instituted top-two primary elections in Oregon and would have allowed independents to vote in all primary elections—except presidential elections—Barram registered as a Democrat.

She had reached out to both the

leader without even realizing it.”

Barram applied for Emerge in the fall of 2009 and was asked to attend an interview panel in Portland. The overall process took a few months before she was accepted. She found the communication and fundraising skills to be the most beneficial—and learned that asking people for money is challenging.

“I think the overall lesson I took away is getting out of your comfort zone is going to happen, so get comfortable with that,” said Barram with a chuckle.

“Because you’re going to do it over and over again.”

Emerge Oregon is currently interviewing applicants and will announce their selections for the 2018 program early next week. Visit emergeor.org to learn about future training events. The Deschutes County Republican Party offered an all-day seminar this past spring and plans on offering a candidate strategy seminar in January organized by the Leadership Institute.

local Democrat and Republican parties to inquire about candidate training. At the time, she says the only local partisan program she could find, geared toward women, was Emerge Oregon’s six-month program. That steered her toward registering as a Democrat.

“I remember back then, someone saying that I couldn’t win because I was just a mom and that made me mad,” said Barram. “I think women walk a very different line than men when they are running for office and when they are in office. I think there’s much more criticism.”

Before her six years serving on the Bend City Council, Barram’s background was primarily in bookkeeping, banking and running an organic cooking oil business with her father.

Barram says women tend to minimize their experiences, perhaps thinking a background in business or land use planning is a requirement for holding public office. In reality, she says, “in a representative government you have people from all walks of life.”

“That was a big takeaway from Emerge, to encourage women to run so that other women can see themselves there,” said Barram. “You become a

Seattle-based duo Garrett Lamp (center) and Andrew Knapp (right) perform together as Stubborn Son. what bubbles up to the surface.”

“We also spent time thinking, "We’re going to put out these new songs, let’s not do the same structure,” Lamp says. “We approached songwriting differently as well, which was really fun. We came up with some really good ideas and some really fun ones.”

“Now, we’re evolving even further, rethinking, reshaping drum machine parts and constantly ruminating on this and is the right feel coming through,” Knapp adds. “Asking ourselves, are we serving this song? Is this really what’s it about?”

It’s interesting to dig deeper into why something appeals to one person specifically. With Stubborn Son, a change in genre definitely elicits some curiosity. What draws them to the new sound, one might ask,

and what makes it feel more their own than the bluesyroots rock sound they had played before?

“For me, it’s the vibe of it,” Lamp says. “I don’t mean that to sound dumb, but there’s a feeling there that resonates with me as a writer and a performer, more than any other project. It feels fun and natural to perform, it’s a self perpetuating thing.”

“It feels more natural to me, I don’t have to put on a persona,” Knapp says. “I just step out and be myself.” SW Stubborn Son

hile Stubborn Son may draw from some of modern rock and roll’s biggest names, catching inspiration from what’s played on Seattle’s KEXP, their sound is taking on a more mature, refined sound as the years roll on. Stubborn Son has a Tame Impala-meets-The Black Keys psychedelic rock sound, with hints of Brick + Mortar. The band’s latest EP, “Fortunes,” has a purposefully more synth-y sound than the band’s debut album, “Birthright,” which had a more blues-rock sound.

“We met over BBQ. We had a man date, we were set up by a mutual friend. It was like a blind date that turned out good,” Garrett Lamp, the band’s guitarist says of the band’s origins.

“It was right after Garrett had moved to Seattle,” Andrew Knapp, bassist and keyboardist, says. “That’s all true love is — you know when you know.”

For “Fortunes,” Stubborn Son aimed to find a sound that felt more authentic. They hoped the raw, bluesy sound that flows through the songs on “Birthright” would be it, but after the album debuted the two didn’t feel as attached to the sound.

“We were trying to do something different than our first record and the rootsy-bluesy sound,” Knapp now says. “We wanted to get into more synth sounds and sounds that we felt were ours rather than ones we had heard before.”

Like many musicians, the bandmates love collecting new instruments. In the recording sessions for “Fortunes,” they hoped to incorporate more of those instruments and sounds, studying between the two albums to determine how to integrate the new instruments. Through that process, the band finally found their sound.

“In the ‘regular’ or ‘normal’ process, usually I would sit down with an idea or Andrew would bring an idea and have the bare bones of it—the first melody or the hook,” Lamp says. "We usually start playing that multiple times as the two of us, improve writing parts and seeing what sticks. It’s a bit of mad science. Seeing

Rachel and Chad Hamar, the husband and wife duo performing as Cloverdayle, touch on personal experience in their latest single

O

dds are you’ve probably heard of Cloverdayle. Maybe you went to Bend High School with singer Rachel Hamar. Or maybe you saw them open for country superstar Jason Aldean at the Les Schwab Amphitheater in 2009. Me, I caught them performing at a Christmas party, of all things.

The country music duo, which consists of Hamar and husband Chad, has strong Oregon roots, but relocated to Nashville four years ago. This week, they return to Volcanic Theatre Pub for a special acoustic performance.

“Our crowd tends to be a listening crowd there,” Chad says of Volcanic.

“People actually hearing the lyrics. We treat it more like a show in Nashville. As a songwriter, we love getting to tell the stories behind the songs.”

“We get to tour the Northwest in the summer,” Rachel says of their current schedule. “We’ve spent a lot of years building a fanbase in the Northwest.

Every year it gets to be slightly bigger than before. It’s good, our Northwest people are so awesome. They show up every time and embrace what it is that we do.”

The pair still draws inspiration from the Northwest. Cloverdayle, which they purposely misspelled, is named in homage to the small coastal town of Cloverdale, where Rachel’s family has a beach house.

“Whenever we’re in town, if we can get away to the coast we do,” Rachel says. “Cell phones don’t work there; you’re kind of off the grid. All of a sudden everything else is shut off so it turns on the creative button. I think that is the thing we love the most about it.”

While the duo does a lot of writing in Nashville, Rachel admits to having pages and pages of inspiration in the Notes section of her phone, added during times on the road and being at the Oregon coast.

“That’s the place I feel most comfortable,” Chad says. “Back in Nashville, you meet in sterile writing rooms, and while you can pull from places where you were inspired, it’s not quite the same.”

Chad and Rachel recently finished their latest single, “Scars,” while at the Oregon coast. The song, which debuted last month, tackles a more personal topic — the physical and emotional scars shared among all people.

The initial inspiration for the song came from a scarring time for the Hamars. Four years ago, they found out Rachel had stage four endometriosis, leading to a major surgery, as well as the news that they would likely not be able to have children. Rachel describes not only having to recover from major surgery, but also realigning their thinking about the possibility of having their own children, and where they wanted to go from there.

“Everyone’s got some form of scars.

Emotional scars, physical scars,” Rachel says. “Chad and I were talking about all the things that have actually caused us scars that would apply to everyone. We wanted to incorporate all of those storylines into the song because we knew that those things were universally true, but also they came directly from our personal experiences.”

The duo, who recently celebrated 18 years together, plans to continue promoting “Scars” into the spring. They’ll launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund their next album in late January and early February.

With a deep love of working in the studio, the pair says they already have enough material written for two albums. SW Cloverdayle, Rhonda Funk Wed., Dec. 6. 7pm Volcanic Theatre Pub 70 SW Century Dr., Bend $15/adv. at Bendticket.com

CULTURE

Inside A Christmas Carol

You’ve probably seen this play—or film—at least once during the holidays.

The director of this version tells us why this one is not “the same old story.”

By Elizabeth Warnimont

Source Weekly: How do you feel about taking on such a big production in your first crack at directing?

Kelley Ryan: It is a little big, yeah! (laughs) All of us had to direct for a senior project (as a theater major at Humboldt State University), but this is really the first big thing I’ve ever done. I have been involved with theatre here for a few years.

I co-directed “Laguna Beach, Ohio” with Rich Jenkins at 2nd Street Theater last year.

SW: How did the Cascades troupe decide on “A Christmas Carol?”

KR: I was on the play selection committee last year. I was really passionate about seeing “A Christmas Carol” chosen, because of the beautiful message and the strong tradition. A lot of us bond together over traditions. People have certain holiday movies they look forward to again and again because it strikes a chord in their hearts. I believe “Christmas Carol” is the same way—a beautiful story about the importance of our connectivity to each other.

SW: Is that what “Christmas Carol” is all about, connectivity?

KR: People have lots of pain they can experience in their lives. It’s easy to want to

separate themselves to find comfort. In the end, the walls they build just isolate them inside and leave them cold. That’s pretty much what happened to Scrooge.

SW: Ah, but then comes the big transformation. How are you handling all the different scenes, as Scrooge is visited by spirits from his past?

KR: It is challenging! It’s not like what’s called a unit set, where the entire play actually takes place in one setting. There are nine or 10 set pieces for each scene, and 26 different scenes in the play. There are 56 characters, and a cast of 20.

So it’s not only constantly-changing sets, but constantly-changing costumes. It’s the cast that changes the scenery – the costumed characters are changing the sets – so there’s no break in continuity. You don’t stop to change, but instead everything overlaps.

SW: Is the Cascades production an authentic adaptation of the original book by Charles Dickens?

KR: In fact, we chose the adaptation (by Jon Jory and Marcia Dixcy Jory) because among the other ones we read, this most closely adhered to the book. A lot of it is even word for word, like it was cut and pasted from the book, rather than rewritten for the stage.

The book in turn is based on direct experience. Charles Dickens was a strong advocate for social change. When he was 12, his family was sent to debtors’ prison while he was sent to work in a factory to earn money. He was also very close to his sister and he hardly ever got to see her or his family. He discovered how hard it was

SOURCE SUGGESTS THESE BOOKS Swords and Stars Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson This week a customer bounded across the store, clutched a book to her chest, and with a yelp of glee exclaimed, “Oh my god, how did I not know this was out???” Such is the excitement when a new book in Brandon Sanderson’s “The Stormlight Archive” series hits shelves.

Book Three, “Oathbringer” is here and it’s every bit as good as previous entries.

If you’re not familiar with Sanderson, he’s the best epic fantasy writer out there who, ya know, actually gets his books out on a regular schedule. And damn, they’re good. Each book’s backstory is dedicated to a particular character, so “Oathbringer” belongs to Dalinar.

If you haven’t been keeping up, that means nothing—so consider this a plea to catch up with the rest of us starting

elley Ryan has acted, managed and costumed dozens of plays in her long career as an actress, but the Cascades Theatrical Company’s “A Christmas Carol,” will mark Ryan’s directorial debut. We talked with Ryan about the iconic tale, and how CTC’s production will set itself apart.

for the common man, how few laws there were to protect people and children.

That’s when he became an advocate, and eventually conceived of the story.

The book caused immediate social change. Warehouses started giving workers time off, and giving them turkeys.

Laws were passed for protection of workers and children.

SW: Would you say the play is suitable for all ages?

KR: Absolutely. This is something that I hope young children, families, grandparents, friends and neighbors will all come to see together, because it is such a story of friendship and love.

SW: What would you say to someone who might hesitate to come and see “the same old story?”

Ok, I’ll start with the bad. Andy Weir’s follow-up to his best-selling book “The Martian” can at times feel like you’re reading the outline of a movie studio spec script. Weir’s prose can be hard to stomach; Nabokov he’s not. Sometimes you wish he didn’t feel the need to explain everything that has a scientific angle. “Artemis” can seem a lot like “The Martian,” only we’ve swapped Mars for the Moon, and the protagonist, Jazz, a

with book one, “The Way of Kings.”

The series is projected to run for 10 books, and at his current pace I’ll be collecting Social Security when the final book arrives. Nonetheless, given the never-ending wait for new books from George R.R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss, I’m happy we have Brandon Sanderson to help pass the time.

Artemis by Andy Weir

KR: I think that ticket sales alone show how the community is already excited to see it. We basically have no advertising, it’s word of mouth, up until right about now, and ticket sales are extremely strong – we already have some shows that are almost sold out. By the way, if people want to get tickets, they should do it right away. I think once the word gets out, the rest will be gone in a snap. SW

foul-mouthed teenage smuggler, isn’t exactly an original creation.

You know what? Who cares. “Artemis” puts its foot on the gas pedal from the get-go and never lets up. If you liked “The Martian” (book, movie or both), you know what you’re in for and you’ll love it. I read it in two huge late-night gulps and loved every minute of it. It may be candy… but don’t feel guilty about eating the whole bag. SW

ARTWATCH Dennis McGregor: Cover Artist

It all started when Dennis McGregor painted a small turtle hanging out on a barbed wire fence. Next to it, he painted a dove, and then he realized “Ah, turtle dove!” It took off from there. He began thinking of all the animal combinations he could: spider monkey, tiger shrimp, catfish and so on.

The series has taken McGregor three years to complete and has now found its home in a new book “You Stole My Name,” which he is self-publishing through a fundraiser on Kickstarter. At first McGregor didn’t realize that the images would become a book, but people really responded to them in a way that surprised him. People even began to suggest new ones, like tiger shark and horse fly. Some people didn’t get it right away though, offering humorous suggestions such as monkey wrench or

only imagery of the coastline during the BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. These two crisis events showed her that what scientists use to gather information and take action could also be a great untapped news resource.

To pursue that idea, she went to the University of Southern California Spatial Sciences Institute, also while pregnant with her second child. Her master’s project explored map data and how it could be layered like a cake to tell a story. The project layered information about wells, almond orchards and schools in Bakersfield, Calif., to narrate how fracking contaminated the area.

That training inspired O’Dea Booker’s founding of the Public Science League, an environmental news resource for journalists. The home office’s location: the Beck Bakery Building in downtown Bend, overlooking the Deschutes River and Drake Park. PSL’s mission is to use stories and data to push through polarization—the kind of

polarization that, such as in the case of the Greater sage-grouse, creates sides such as “the bird” and “jobs.”

To create informed discourse, O’Dea Booker knows journalists need non-politicized sources that can help factually dissect complicated information. This is a nationwide problem, she says, but as it pertains to Oregon issues, she’s committed to solving it. The first projects she’s tackling are around public lands issues, including the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and the Greater sage-grouse. The Public Science League is in the fundraising stage, and O’Dea Booker is applying for grants to get going. SW

Public Science League

By Teafly Peterson skunk cabbage—which could become a whole other series for McGregor.

McGregor has been a staple in the Sisters—and greater Oregon—art community for the last 30 years, with his paintings gracing the posters for the Sister Folk Festival, the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, Oregon Country Fair and many others. It is this new series, however, that he sees as a new phase— painting what he wants to paint and what he loves. As it turns out, others love it, too!

His recent Kickstarter has met its goal, which means McGregor’s book, “You Stole My Name,” will be in stores soon after the holidays. You can still purchase his originals, prints and notecards from the series at kickstarter. com ( just search Dennis McGregor and you’ll find it) which he can get to you in time to find a home under your Christmas tree. And who knows, maybe he’ll keep going and we’ll see a sequel in the future. SW

big deal. That same week, bombings happened at U.S. embassies in Africa. With the help of the new technology, she found information no one else was reporting and instantly got on the radar. This success labeled her as the science and tech person at NBC Nightly News.

The designation fit her personality, since as a youngster she was a Earth and Space Explainer, or docent, at the American Museum of Natural History. O’Dea Booker stayed in the position throughout the Iraq war and the 9/11 attacks.

She was 10 feet away from one of the now-infamous anthrax letters, mailed to a number of media outlets, including her newsroom in 2001.

When her fiancé proposed a move to Austin, O’Dea Booker moved her NBC gig there for a while before moving onto a startup that built live online observatories around the world. While she was on maternity leave with her first child she got involved with a crisis in Haiti, discovering the open-source tool, Geographic Information System, and crisis mapping. She then used the same opensourced mapping systems to get the

ierney O’Dea Booker is someone who talks casually about her experiences with VH1, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NBC Nightly News and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as if everyone has them. She doesn’t boast about these connections; they’re simply links followed in the life of a curious individual.

These days, that curiosity has led her to try to solve the problem of stories that are too often boiled into false us-versus-them dichotomies, like the ones recently playing out regarding climate versus commerce.

O’Dea Booker grew up in New York.

While it might seem like a far-off dream for some, her first job out of college was as a researcher at NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw. The week she started the job, they were converting from DOS terminals to what they were calling “Internet computers.” Since she was a recent grad, the team asked whether she knew how to work with the new platform.

“Yes, I can do the Internet,” O’Dea Booker recalls saying. It might seem funny now, but back in 1998 it was a

Is Beer Fatigue a Thing?

LITTLE BITES

By Lisa Sipe

How to tell if you’re hopped out

By Lisa Sipe

31

I

remember the first time I saw a group of people pedaling like crazy on a Cycle Pub tour, waving at us and sipping beer from the mobile bar. When I first arrived in Bend, every other weekend seemed to include some sort of brew festival. The most popular restaurants were brew pubs, and chef dinners included beer pairings instead of wine. When I finished a running race I was handed a beer. When my partner finished a long-ass mountain bike race—I’m talking to you, High Cascades 100—he got a growler. Need a haircut?

Sit down, and oh, do you want a beer?

Hop from store to store shopping and eventually someone will offer you a beer while you try on a pair of Levi’s commuters and a plaid lumber flannel.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ve reached a point where I’m not that excited about craft beer anymore.

When I moved here five years ago it was thrilling to discover so many locally made brews. I came from Phoenix and at the time craft beer wasn’t that hot in the Southwest. I can remember one place in Arizona, Four Peaks Brewery, that had a popular amber hued Scottish-style ale called Kilt Lifter. That’s it.

I was mainly into wine back then, specifically zinfandels. I hadn’t quite come to appreciate the delicate boldness of a pinot noir.

Don’t get me wrong, I still think it’s cool that craft beer is woven throughout our community. I just think I’ve

reached a point where I find myself drinking more cider and experimenting with cocktails.

I wondered if other people felt like I did. So I asked a few.

Amy & Courtney Wright, moved to Bend four years ago “Beer fatigue is real! We’ve started integrating more cocktails as well as sometimes just craving a California beer, something a little different than all the beer here! We totally indulged in the beer when we moved to Bend and now we are fading further from it.”

McKenzie Mendel, Bend native “I think growing up in Bend in the ‘90s, beer was already a big part of our culture. When I moved to the South for college I was pretty bummed by the selection. My in-laws even made comments about how I liked beer so much; liquor was the drink over there. I haven’t been bummed by the growth in beer options so much. It’s been great that people are finding a way to make money and jobs in Bend. It’s also fun to try new beers.

My husband and I also started brewing beer. Since it is so big in Bend it’s easy to do and I don’t think it’s a hobby I would have if I lived somewhere else.”

Audra Wright, moved to Bend four years ago “Bend introduced me to beer and got

me into it and eventually got me out of it!”

Scott Jasinski, moved to Portland four years ago “When I first moved to Oregon I was drinking beer all the time. After a while I noticed I would get stomach aches from drinking beer. I tried drinking cider and I don’t get the same side effects, and there are so many apples in our state.”

Here are some signs you might have beer fatigue: -- You’re offered a complimentary beer and don’t drink it. For example, you are shopping for dog food and you are asked if you want a local craft IPA to drink while you look around. You reply “no” because you’re only drinking sours right now.

-- You start looking for ciders on tap -- A hopped kombucha quenches your thirst -- There are 50 beers on tap, you’ve tried them all, and nothing sounds good -- You wonder if there is a distillery version of the Bend Ale Trail.

We all know craft beer isn’t going anywhere, and I don’t want it to. I still occasionally drink beer, I just don’t do it with the fervor I once had. It sounds like there are other people out there like me and it’s all good. You can find really great kombucha, ciders and spirits made right here in Central Oregon. SW

Have you seen water kefir on store shelves close to the kombucha and thought, what the heck is that? Well, it’s in that spot for a reason; water kefir offers similar benefits to aid in your digestion. It’s made with water kefir grains, a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, also known as a scoby. The grains don’t actually contain any grain or gluten; they’re more like blobs of gelatin. The Water Kefir People are now producing water kefir in Bend and turning it into six different flavored sodas: hibiscus rose hip, dragon fruit, lavender blueberry, strawberry basil, turmeric ginger and original root beer. When I first tried water kefir I didn’t really like it. I think you need a few sips to get past the fermented funk. Once that flavor passed, I really enjoyed the turmeric ginger and the lavender blueberry. SW thewaterkefirpeople.com

Riff Cold Brew Coffee Launches

Coffee culture continues to grow in Bend. Riff Cold Brew Coffee is building a full-scale production facility in the city to produce cold brew coffee in bottles and boxes for consumers and nitrogen kegs for restaurants and bars. Cold brew coffee, at its simplest, is coffee steeped in cold water overnight and strained. Riff wants enthusiasts to think differently about brewed coffee; to embrace it as something we drink in a glass, not a mug, any time of day. The company is hinting at lots of different cold brew options: decaffeinated, spiced, fruited or even barrel fermented with wild yeast.

Riff was started by Paul Evers, co-founder of Crux Fermentation Project, Nate Armbrust, former head of product development and cold brew operations at Stumptown, Steve Barham, former senior director at LinkedIn, and Bobby Evers and Kevin Smyth.

Expect to see Riff on the market in February 2018. SW

n recent days, craft beer-bar patrons across the Northwest have been surprised and bemused by a “new” British stout on tap that not only isn’t new at all, but in fact predates the birth of the United States.

Samuel Smith Brewery was founded in 1758 under the name “The Old Brewery” in the town of Tadcaster, in the Yorkshire region of northern England. It went through several hands before the eponymous Smith purchased it in 1847, and his grand-nephew (also named Samuel Smith) reopened it under its current name in 1886. They now operate over 200 pubs across the nation—including over 20 in central London alone—each offering a variety of lighter ales, stouts, wheat beers and the Old Brewery Bitter in casks.

Like a lot of British outfits this old, much of their brand name is intertwined with tradition. The beer is still made using dual-storied “Yorkshire Square” vessels made of slate, and they still keep a team of working shire horses that deliver beer around Tadcaster five days a week. It was this tradition that allowed Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout to eke out an early niche in American beer-dom. Originally imported to the U.S. in 1978, the 5 percent ABV dark ale was an early favorite among those bored with Coors or Blitz-Weinhard and seeking something new. It’s been available at southeast Portland’s Horse Brass Pub, one of the city’s original hubs for good beer, since around that time.

It’s no surprise, then, that Merchant du Vin, Samuel Smith’s U.S. distributor, chose the Horse Brass to debut Oatmeal Stout on tap in Oregon last month.

The kegs now enjoy broader distribution around the state, chiefly thanks to the efforts of McMenamins’ distribution arm, and can be found in local places including The Growler Guys and Broken Top Bottle Shop. “It made sense to bring draft now,” said Craig Hartinger, Merchant du Vin’s marketing director. “Both to help sell Samuel Smith’s beer and to remind American consumers about the role [it’s] played since the first bottles were shipped to the U.S.” This actually marks the first time Oatmeal Stout has ever been available on tap, including in the U.K., and trying it in this format is worth the experience.

Like a lot of British ales, it’s designed to be more quaffable than a lot of the brassy, hop-forward beer made locally.

The body is thus lighter than one would expect with such a dark-colored ale, but the taste—which manages to include

I’m not sure this was the kind of Crazy Train Ozzy was singing about.

Y

ou can be around 35 minutes late to see “Coco” if you want. No need to rush through the concessions line or have the grandparents hurry up and get out of the car, because there’s a secret waiting for you once you get into the theater: Every Pixar movie has a short animated film that precedes the feature, such as the gorgeous “Lava” before “Inside Out” or “The Blue Umbrella” before “Monsters University.”

“Coco” follows this tradition in the most excruciating way possible by showing an endless, 20-minute-long “short” (featuring FOUR SONGS) about Olaf from “Frozen” trying to help Elsa and Anna find their own Christmas tradition. This is the first Pixar film that has a Disney short before it, instead of one crafted by the thoughtful and emotionally astute folks at Pixar...and you’ll likely feel the difference intensely.

A Pixar short usually has a similar thematic through-line as the film it’s preceding, so it prepares the audience emotionally for what’s coming. It tonally fits the vibe, in other words. Having “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” before “Coco” is like telling a fart joke at the opera. After 15 minutes of trailers and 20 minutes of a cartoon aimed at much younger children, it’s difficult to let the charms of Pixar’s latest fully sink in. It also feels somewhat offensive and cowardly that Disney would hedge their bets by tossing in the whitest possible story before their first feature set entirely in Mexico, about Mexican culture and featuring a cast that’s almost entirely Latino voices.

For the first 30 minutes of “Coco,” I

was struggling to care about what was happening. The animation is gorgeous and the story of a young boy who wants to be a musician getting trapped in the Land of the Dead during Dia de Muertos is solid, but it was leaving me cold emotionally. The Land of the Dead is so vibrantly animated with hundreds of colors sharing space in ways I’ve never seen, that it’s easy to get swept along in the adventure even without the connection.

I should know not to underestimate Pixar though, because when the true story of the film takes shape toward the end of the second act, I found myself in love with the characters and the complicated lessons this wonderful movie was trying to impart. “Coco” succeeds in spite of Disney and will make your heart feel like it’s blooming.

“Coco” is a cartoon about death.

It’s also about how different cultures deal with loss and how no one is really gone as long as we remember them.

That’s such a cliché, but in Pixar’s hands it almost becomes a profound examination of a simple idea. “Coco” wants its audience to view death as another step along an adventure instead of something to fear, and that the better we are to each other in life the more we will be remembered once we pass. Even Olaf can’t screw that up. SW Coco

"Lady Bird" soars across human nature

By Jared Rasic A24

37 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 48 / November 30, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Lady Bird is not happy with her station in life.

I

t’s easy to be nostalgic about the rotten moments in the past, since it’s clear we made it out alive. But regardless of how positive the present might be, there are still those smells and textures that put us back in a different place or time, one in which everything seemed infinite and the future rolled out ahead like a red carpet… whether it’s the lighting of a childhood bedroom, the sound of your first doggo barking or the opening swell of a song that got you through something awful.

“Lady Bird” doesn’t cash in on the current trend of exploitation through nostalgia. Instead, it shows us a life couched in white American familiarity, set in a time too recent for us to miss and too far away to remember completely. Set in Sacramento, Calif., in 2002, “Lady Bird” will probably be described as a “coming-of-age drama” when it’s actually altogether more.

Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson is a senior at a Catholic high school, struggling with her future. She hates Sacramento and thinks she would be happier on the east coast where she feels all the culture comes from. Her mother is perpetually disappointed with her work ethic and her father is eternally supportive, but Lady Bird tries to pay no heed: She’s going to fully commit to every single idea or impulse she has...regardless of the consequences.

Writer/Director Greta Gerwig, star of “Frances Ha” and “20th Century Women,” makes an astounding debut with “Lady Bird.” Gerwig rose up the ranks as an actor in the mid-2000s’ mumblecore film movement, collaborating with directors including Joe Swanberg, the Duplass Brothers and Noah Baumbach, and cementing herself as the Indie It Girl for many years. But Gerwig always had more going on than just a series of quirky mannerisms to build a movie around; you could always see her thinking and feeling behind her giant eyes.

She could express more with a smile than 30 lines of dialogue ever could.

Gerwig applies this innate understanding of subtext and emotion not just with a script that feels like real people talking to each other, but also with the performances and the little moments of truth she finds beneath her lens. There are scenes lasting only seconds, but they convey more truth and beauty than other films are able to squeeze out of their entire running time. A fleeting shot of Lady Bird’s feet in a bathtub made the entire audience erupt with laughter without a word of dialogue.

As truly wonderful as Saoirse Ronan is as Lady Bird, it’s Laurie Metcalf who could win an Oscar as Lady Bird’s mother, Marion. She says some incredibly cruel things to her daughter throughout the film, which are then juxtaposed with scenes of her at work being loving and empathetic with psychiatric patients.

She’s not a hero or a villain...just a person doing her best. Marion is such a complex character that her relationship with Lady Bird is the centerpiece of the entire film, leaving the audience basking in a fully realized creation.

“Lady Bird” is so many things: a love letter to Sacramento, an aching tribute to adolescence and a tender hug to the families we didn’t appreciate when we were younger. Most of all, the film is deeply human and begging for connection. Our lives might not be the same as Lady Bird’s, but they don’t need to be, because we recognize ourselves in her anyway. SW

Natural World The Tiger Beetle

By Jim Anderson trophy-hunting by poachers. As a result, the remaining six tiger subspecies have been classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

With apologies to my good pal, great artist and musician—and this week’s cover artist—Dennis McGregor, I stuck my face-on photo of an adult tiger beetle on the head of the real tiger, and another crawling up its body, like he likes to do.

Tiger beetles and tigers are similar in appearance, and hunt for prey in the same manner. I doubt very much, however, if you’d ever find a tiger beetle sitting on a tiger’s head in real life, but because of McGregor’s influence on my imagination, I put it there—so we’ll just have to blame him.

Be that as it may, while tigers are mammals, born into the world just like you and me, a tiger beetle begins life

Are those beetles crawling on you, or are you just agitated to see me?

hot-to-trot predators, both as adults and as larvae. While most species are diurnal (day-moving), four genera are nocturnal, and most tiger beetles are brightly colored, while a few genera found living primarily in the dry regions of southern Africa are all black.

While there are many instances of adult tiger beetles glomming onto human appendages, there are no records of the larvae of tiger beetles attacking humans. The larvae live in cylindrical burrows as much as 3 feet deep, and are large-headed grubs with a muscular humpback, which they use to flip backwards to capture insects that wander

Their long, slender legs and powerful muscles in the thorax provide them with their unusual speed. sudden sprints, the beetle’s moving too fast for its visual system to accurately process in real time. Maybe it’s like me as I get older, having to stop and say to myself, “Now, where was I headed…?”

Tiger beetles have another trait that may also be associated with their speedy, sprint-stop-sprint-stop method of pursuit. To avoid running into things, they hold their long, rigid antennae directly in front of them to mechanically sense what’s coming, head-on.

In 1996, scientists in the Netherlands tested two species of Australian tiger beetle, (Cicindels eburmeola and C. hudsoni). Both have “vestigial” wings.

Therefore, they cannot fly, but make up for it with running skills. They were clocked at 5.6 mph, capable of covering 8 feet in one second, which provides them with a speed their visual system probably cannot keep up with.

Tiger beetles have large bulging eyes, which gives them acute, wide-angle vision. Their long, slender legs and powerful muscles in the thorax provide them with their unusual speed. They also possess large, curved mandibles with which they grasp and crush their prey. (Sounds like the canines of a tiger, doesn’t it?)

Tiger beetles, worldwide, are

over the surface nearby.

In researching these colorful, predatory beetles I discovered they are also— like tigers of Asia—considered a good indicator species, and have been used in ecological studies on biodiversity health. That is, if they are found in their normal numbers in habitat where they were once found, it would suggest the habitat for all species in that niche are in good condition.

As an example, several species of wingless parasitic wasps lay their eggs on larvae of various tiger beetles, which would indicate the ecosystem is operating well. In the same way we find paper wasps capturing Monarch butterfly larvae and returning to their nest with them to feed their young in the rearing cells. The more interacting activity there is within an ecoregion the healthier it is.

The next time you head for North Bend or Coos Bay for a day on the beach, take a look in the sand dunes among the grasses and other vegetation and you’ll (hopefully) meet up with Oregon’s tiger beetles. If you don’t, please call me and we’ll find out why. And if you go tiger-viewing, please be careful, and hurry home; I’d love to see your pictures! SW

O

ne of fastest and most aggressive beetles crawling, running and chasing other invertebrates on the surface of our planet can be found on the Oregon Coast: the tiger beetle. While tigers have hunting methods similar to tiger beetles, they’re not normally found on the Oregon coast, or North America for that matter — thankfully, I might add.

Tigers, the big ones, once ranged widely across eastern Eurasia, from the Black Sea to the Indian Ocean and from Kolyma to Sumutra. However, over the past 100 years, they’ve lost 93 percent of their historic range, and have been extirpated from western and eastern Asia.

They range today from the Siberian taiga to open grasslands and tropical mangrove swamps. Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction and fragmentation, and

as an external egg, hatches into a larva, then proceeds to a pupa, then, after the miracle of metamorphosis, emerges as an adult.

In the very early stage of life, mammals live and grow in a placenta—utilizing the nutrients in the mother’s blood.

The tiger beetle, on the other hand, grows and develops while it’s in the larval stage, and even then, it’s a supreme killer of other, smaller invertebrates.

They display an uncommon method of pursuing their prey, in that they alternatively dash quickly toward their victim, then stop, then dash after it again.

This may be because while making those

• Look at your lifestyle and assess what you need. Ask yourself if you really need everything you see—extra furniture, books, accessories etc.

• Go into all of your storage areas: kitchen cabinets, linen closets, clothes closets, shelves, garage, file cabinets, attic, basement, etc. Take away all the bstuff you haven’t used in the past year.

• Don’t forget file cabinets and papers.

Keep the originals of documents including birth certificates, passports, etc. But our digital age allows us to scan and save other documents electronically so that many files can be eliminated.

• When buying new furniture, look at multi-purpose furniture like coffee tables that convert to dining tables, sofas and ottomans with built in storage, storage beds, etc.

• If you have too much stuff you’re not willing to part with, but don’t have space in your new home, consider boxing it in transparent containers and putting it in a storage unit.

This keeps the clutter from your home and makes you evaluate the worth of keeping those items. This is also a good first step if you’re planning to move into a smaller home or you’re de-cluttering when your home is for sale. You can later easily donate those items to charity or have a garage sale at the storage unit.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 48 / November 30, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ith the recent proposal for a cottage home community in Bend, I am curious again about tiny homes. Tiny homes have been a hot topic for a few years, offering an affordable home ownership opportunity—but with that come hindrances including building codes and zoning laws, not to mention financing.

In regard to the proposed community in southeast Bend, where a builder hopes to build a community of several dozen smaller homes, I remain interested in how it will develop—and how it may help create similar opportunities across Oregon.

Undoubtedly, the novelty, simplicity, smaller carbon footprint and financial aspects are the main attractions in this movement. For myself, I would find the downsizing of my home to be the biggest challenge to living in a tiny home or cottage. Many of us are stuck in the dilemma of living large, with the financial burden of a higher housing payment and drain of time in maintaining homes that are too big for our needs.

I did some research on downsizing. If I surrounded myself with only the things that are important to me, I realized I could easily be without half of my possessions by simply getting rid of things I have not used in the past year. Some other downsizing tips may be useful for those considering moving to a smaller living unit . There’s also helpful for those who need to de-clutter and make their homes more attractive for selling.

Weed Better Break Up Now I’m a 28-year-old gay guy. I like to travel and go out and do stuff on the weekends. My boyfriend prefers to smoke pot and uhh…time travel on the couch. He’s a good person, and I love him, but he’s unwilling to cut back on his pot smoking.

Friends tell me to dump him, but we’ve been together for three years, and bailing now would mean throwing that time away.

—Frustrated The guy isn’t without ambition. He tries really hard every day to give the cat a contact high.

There’s a point when love seems like “the answer” — when you’re 14 and practicing your makeout skills on your pillow. But then you grow up and get into a relationship with a man you love, and you find yourself packing for Bali while he’s packing his bong.

Presumably, you’ve tried to come to some compromise. It helps to be specific about

what would work for you — like by proposing he come down from Weed Mountain to spend Saturday afternoon and evening out on the town with you. If he’s unwilling to be enough of a boyfriend to make you happy, well, you have a decision to make.

In making it, don’t let yourself get tripped up by “the sunk cost effect.” This is decision researcher Hal Arkes’ term for our (irrational) “tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made.” But that initial investment — for example, the three years you’ve already put into your relationship with James Bong — is gone. What makes sense is looking at whether the “endeavor” will pay off in the future, say, in a willAmy Alkon ingness by your boyfriend to combine his favorite hobby and yours. As travel writer Rick Steves put it, “I have used cannabis all over the world.” (Hmm…then again, so have other people, and they’re still in jail in Turkey.)

ASTROLOGY

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “What is

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know that unfinished task you have half-avoided, allowing it to stagnate? Soon you’ll be able to summon the gritty determination required to complete it. I suspect you’ll also be able to carry out the glorious rebirth you’ve been shy about climaxing. To gather the energy you need, reframe your perspective so that you can feel gratitude for the failure or demise that has made your glorious rebirth necessary and inevitable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): In an ideal world, your work and your character would speak for themselves.

You’d receive exactly the amount of recognition and appreciation you deserve. You wouldn’t have to devote as much intelligence to selling yourself as you did to developing your skills in the first place. But now forget everything I just said. During the next ten months, I predict that packaging and promoting yourself won’t be so #$@&%*! important. Your work and character WILL speak for themselves with more vigor and clarity than they have before.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There used to be a booth at a Santa Cruz flea market called “Joseph Campbell’s Love Child.” It was named after the mythological scholar who wrote the book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces.” The booth’s proprietor sold items that spurred one’s “heroic journey,” like talismans made to order and herbs that stimulated courage and mini-books with personalized advice based on one’s horoscope. “Chaos-Tamers” were also for sale. They were magic spells designed to help people manage the messes that crop up in one’s everyday routine while pursuing a heroic quest. Given the current astrological omens, Pisces, you would benefit from a place that sold items like these. Since none exists, do the next best thing: Aggressively drum up all the help and inspiration you need. You can and should be well-supported as you follow your dreams on your hero’s journey.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I hope that everything doesn’t come too easily for you in the coming weeks. I’m worried you will meet with no obstructions and face no challenges. And that wouldn’t be good. It might weaken your willpower and cause your puzzle-solving skills to atrophy. Let me add a small caveat, however. It’s also true that right about now you deserve a whoosh of slack. I’d love for you to be able to relax and enjoy your well-deserved rewards. But on the other hand, I know you will soon receive an opportunity to boost yourself up to an even higher level of excellence and accomplishment. I want to be sure that when it comes, you are at peak strength and alertness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You were born with the potential to give the world specific gifts — benefits and blessings that are unique to you. One of those gifts has been slow in developing. You’ve never been ready to confidently offer it in its fullness.

In fact, if you have tried to bestow it in the past, it may have caused problems. But the good news is that in the coming months, this gift will finally be ripe. You’ll know how to deal crisply with the interesting responsibilities it asks you to take on. Here’s your homework: Get clear about what this gift is and what you will have to do to offer it in its fullness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Happy Unbirthday, Gemini! You’re halfway between your last birthday

and you’re next. That means you’re free to experiment with being different from who you have imagined yourself to be and who other people expect you to be. Here are inspirational quotes to help you celebrate. 1. “Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” - George Bernard Shaw. 2. “Like all weak men he laid an exaggerated stress on not changing one’s mind.” - W. Somerset Maugham. 3. “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson. 4.

“The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.” - Friedrich Nietzsche.

love?” asks philosopher Richard Smoley. “It’s come to have a greeting-card quality,” he mourns. “Half the time ‘loving’ someone is taken to mean nurturing a warmish feeling in the heart for them, which mysteriously evaporates the moment the person has some concrete need or irritates us.” One of your key assignments in the next ten months will be to purge any aspects of this shrunken and shriveled kind of love that may still be lurking in your beautiful soul. You are primed to cultivate an unprecedented new embodiment of mature, robust love.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suggest that you take a piece of paper and write down a list of your biggest fears. Then call on the magical force within you that is bigger and smarter than your fears. Ask your deep sources of wisdom for the poised courage you need to keep those scary fantasies in their proper place. And what is their proper place? Not as the masters of your destiny, not as controlling agents that prevent you from living lustily, but rather as helpful guides that keep you from taking foolish risks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In his book “Life: The Odds,” Gregory Baer says that the odds you will marry a millionaire are not good: 215-to-1. They’re 60,000-to-1 that you’ll wed royalty and 88,000-to-1 that you’ll date a model. After analyzing your astrological omens for the coming months, I suspect your chances of achieving these feats will be even lower than usual. That’s because you’re far more likely to cultivate synergetic and symbiotic relationships with people who enrich your soul and stimulate your imagination, but don’t necessarily pump up your ego. Instead of models and millionaires, you’re likely to connect with practical idealists, energetic creators, and emotionally intelligent people who’ve done work to transmute their own darkness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What might you do to take better care of yourself in 2018, Virgo? According to my reading of the astrological omens, this will be a fertile meditation for you to keep revisiting.

Here’s a good place to start: Consider the possibility that you have a lot to learn about what makes your body operate at peak efficiency and what keeps your soul humming along with the sense that your life is interesting. Here’s another crucial task: Intensify your love for yourself. With that as a driving force, you’ll be led to discover the actions necessary to supercharge your health. P.S. Now is an ideal time to get this project underway.

NEWSCHANNEL 21 Central Oregon’s News Leader

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here are themes I suggest you specialize in during the coming weeks.

1. How to gossip in ways that don’t diminish and damage your social network, but rather foster and enhance it. 2. How to be in three places at once without committing the mistake of being nowhere at all. 3. How to express precisely what you mean without losing your attractive mysteriousness. 4.

How to be nosy and brash for fun and profit. 5. How to unite and harmonize the parts of yourself and your life that have been at odds with each other.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I predict that in the coming months you won’t feel compulsions to set your adversaries’ hair on fire. You won’t fantasize about robbing banks to raise the funds you need, nor will you be tempted to worship the devil. And the news just gets better. I expect that the amount of self-sabotage you commit will be close to zero.

The monsters under your bed will go on a long sabbatical. Any lame excuses you have used in the past to justify bad behavior will melt away. And you’ll mostly avoid indulging in bouts of irrational and unwarranted anger. In conclusion, Scorpio, your life should be pretty evil-free for quite some time. What will you do with this prolonged outburst of grace?

Use it wisely!

Gene Sequencing for Cannabis

Helping you consume the right strain of OG Kush, or whatever other strain you desire.

P

rior to cannabis legalization, you rolled the dice with every purchase from an “Agricultural Products Broker,” AKA, your weed dealer. Many a transaction had me asking if there was “any more of that lime green stuff from last week” or “that pot that tasted like oranges.” Every once in a while, I would be told what I was buying was a unique strain the grower had developed or grown from seeds brought back from the Netherlands. And perhaps they were—but I had no way of knowing.

Then came the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, and dispensaries that had a wide range of strains, all labeled.

How certain were they that what they offered was indeed that particular strain?

Beating the it'swhatever-the-growercalled-it-strain—gene sequencing is now an OG thing.

It was an “it’s-what-the-growercalled-it” level of certainty, at best. Then we upped our game with testing for pesticides, molds and other undesirables.

Fantastic, but again, is that Durban Poison really Durban Poison? And does it really matter if it is or not?

It does matter, as patients and consumers may be seeking particular cannabinoids and benefits/effects, or conversely may be seeking to avoid strains that induce unwanted effects, such as paranoia, sleepiness and so on.

The brilliant team of sativa scientists and ganja geeks at Phylos Bioscience last week introduced a new program called Phylos Certified. Simply put, it’s a database of cannabis genetics that

confirms a plant’s identity.

I spoke with Carolyn White of Phylos about PC. “Few people realize that popular consumer sites like Leafly are highly inaccurate, because their platform assumes name consistency. For example, if you search for "OG Kush” and see that it’s at three local dispensaries, they could easily be three different varieties. There’s just no way to know. It’s such a mess that DNA testing is the only way to sort it out.”

“Phylos maintains the largest genetic library of cannabis on earth. Our scientists sequence and analyze the DNA of every “strain” (AKA variety) that’s submitted to us. Then, the DNA is compared to every other variety in our library and given a genetic location. Because the analysis is so complex, we created an interactive 3D visualization called the Phylos Galaxy. It’s free to access, and it’s putting an end to the name game.

“Names aren’t reliable, but DNA data is.” White continued “It’s bringing transparency to the supply chain.”

White says numerous Oregon growers have already signed on. “Growers across the country have been submitting their varieties for DNA testing over the last two years, which are added to the Open Cannabis Project, White added. “It’s powerful to see the community come together around science.”

I asked Zoe Sigman, education co-director at Farma, about the value of PC for their patients and consumers.

“One of the most common frustrations we hear from consumers is the lack of consistency in flower that shares the same name. Phylos’ certification is the first step towards resolving that issue,” Sigman said.

Checking out the Phylos Galaxy is highly recommended while stoned. galaxy.phylosbioscience.com
