n Dec. 20, as this issue begins to hit stands, the Bend City Council will consider adopting a resolution that would renew the five-year operating levy for Fire and Emergency Medical Services.

The resolution, if the council approves it, will put the issue on the May 2018 ballot.

The current levy, approved in 2104 and set to expire in 2019, takes 20 cents per $1,000 of assessed property values. The new levy would maintain that level of funding.

The Bend City Council should put the issue on the ballot. When they do and the issue gets put to that May vote, local voters should approve it—because the current levy has seen remarkable results that have improved health and safety outcomes for local residents.

Before the 2014 levy passed, first responders and fire personnel in this area had an average response time of about nine minutes. Following the investments allowed by the levy, Fire Chief Larry Langston says the current response time is about five and a half minutes—a critical reduction in response time that can save lives, especially for cardiac events.

Indeed, following the levy, resuscitation rates for cardiac events have seen marked improvements. In 2012, resuscitation rates for cardiac events were about 22 percent, Langston says. In 2016, the resuscitation rate was 70 percent.

What’s changed? Since the levy passed, the fire department has been able to hire 13 more firefighters. Prior to the 2014 levy, the department reported having the lowest number of firefighters per capita—no longer the case. Also prior to 2014, the department worked with six engines that were more than 20 years old. That fleet has since been replaced. Levy funds have

also been used to add training staff.

While the sweeping improvements to public safety are well worth the negligible addition to your property tax bill, we would be remiss if we didn’t at least mention another cost-saving measure, which, if it doesn’t cause us to disapprove of the levy, it at least gives us pause. In an effort to manage costs, the fire department took another step that has allowed it to have five ambulances in operation instead of the previous two.

The department now staffs non-union emergency medical technicians in some of those ambulances, allowing those EMTs to handle lower-level medical emergencies in lieu of sending more highly trained, union workers to the initial scene. Only five fire departments in the U.S. use nonunion emergency management personnel, Langston says proudly. The move earned them some heat from the Oregon firefighters’ union, but Langston maintains that it has been a way for the department to adequately staff the department.

In addition, Langston says most of those EMTs move into union positions after a few years. While we balk at the notion of an us-versus-them dynamic between union and non-union employees, and the inequalities that could emerge from that scenario, the outcomes that have been displayed over the past four years bear recognition.

It is obvious that investing in better fire equipment and services through the past levy has saved lives, and we support maintaining that level of service in our community—especially as our population continues to grow.

When the fire levy appears on your ballot this May, give it your support. SW

OPINION Letters

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT—As a gay man, I find the mere idea of a “gay rodeo” more than sad. Have we learned so little from our own long history of oppression?

Rodeo is an inherently-cruel macho exercise in DOMINATION. There are major connections to be made with the sexual harassment of women now dominating the news.

Consider this quote from an 18-year-old Oregon Rodeo Queen, “What me and my rodeo friends really hate are Democrats, environmentalists and gays.” One can easily guess whom they voted for.

And this gem, from a Wyoming steer wrestler: “Women should not rodeo any more than men can have babies. Women were put on earth to reproduce, and are close to animals. Women’s liberation is on an equal to gay liberation--they are both ridiculous.”

Gay folks are notoriously creative. Surely we can come up with a more compassionate, life-affirming entertainment than rodeo. For most of the animals unwillingly involved, rodeo is merely a detour en route to the slaughterhouse. They (and we) deserve better.

Season’s greetings, peace on earth to all creatures.

—Eric Mills, coordinator, ACTION FOR ANIMALS Gay rodeo rules do not protect animals from abuse; animals are still kicked, roped, spurred and dragged to the ground by their heads (called chute dogging).

As a community that has fought long to overcome violence, humiliation and prejudice, is the violent rodeo really worthy of support? Promoting rodeo events and other cruel animal acts sends the dangerous message that entertainment based on suffering and ridicule is not only condoned, but encouraged. Cruelty should be condemned in all its forms.

—Jennofur O’Connor, via bendsource.com While I sympathize with the views expressed in prior comments, it’s still good to see the diversity of the LGBTQ community represented through this exhibit. I plan to attend, if only to see a view of the world that lies outside my own day to day experience.

IN RESPONSE TO, “SHOULD OREGON RANCHERS BE ALLOWED TO KILL WOLVES?” (10/26/2016) I for one believe we should be allowed to kill wolves, they need to be controlled. I live in Eastern Oregon, where the wolves have been reintroduced.

However, these wolves now roaming in our backyard are not the wolves that were originally here. They are Canadian wolves, they are also a much bigger breed of wolf.

Unless I’m incorrect that makes them an invasive species.

I’m uncertain of why this is such a good thing....considering just recently a neighbor of mine has had wolves kill two of his livestock within a mile of his home. His herd is not very large and losing any affects his family’s income.

Also, an acquaintance of mine had wolves come up to his house when he drove to town to the store. By the time he came back, his two dogs that were on chains in the backyard of his home were dead. All that was left of them were their heads still attached to the collars and chains.

I just want to know if all are aware of the impact that the introduction of Canadian wolves are having in the rural areas in Oregon. I haven’t even begun to tell you

about the recent decline of our deer and elk populations, that is due strictly to the introduction of this species.

I don’t understand why we are allowed by law to manage almost every other species of animal in Oregon, that are considered a game animal but wolves....? Please if anyone can explain to me why Canadian wolves being introduced into Oregon is a good thing I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.

BIG TIMES FOR LITTLE BIG MAN His human was killed in a car crash. Thanks to a bystander at the scene, an adopted dog is on the road to recovery—and in a new home

n Dec. 6, Aaron Beaty was one of several bystanders to arrive on the scene of a two-car crash on Highway 97 near Sunriver. Approaching one of the vehicles, Beaty saw a small dog and a man, both badly hurt.

“The dog was straddling the door, two legs on one side and two legs on the other, and the gentleman’s head was lying near or on the dog,” Beaty said. “He [the dog] had been on his lap, definitely. It was a darn good thing he was on the lap because the other side of the car was completely crushed.”

Knowing paramedics were on their way, Beaty’s concern moved to the dog.

“I think I said, ‘Can I take your dog to the vet? I promise I’ll take care of him. I promise I’ll make sure he’s OK, or do everything I can do’… something along those lines, and he said yes,” Beaty told the Source Weekly Monday.

Permission granted, Beaty headed to the Sunriver Veterinary Clinic, telling the staff that he’d pay for any vet bills the dog might incur. The Chihuahua mixed breed, named Little Big Man, had suffered two broken legs, a fractured pelvis, several broken ribs and puncture wounds.

Veterinarians stabilized Little Big Man, while also figuring out his name and his home vet, and moved him to a veterinary hospital.

Back on Highway 97, Little Big Man’s human lived only a few minutes after the dog’s departure.

“It was scary,” Beaty said. “At the time I didn’t know that he wasn’t going to make it.”

Oregon State Police say at about 10:15 am on Dec. 6, 55year-old Shannon Ray Rogers of Goldendale, Wash. was traveling northbound on Hwy. 97 near Sunriver when his Nissan minivan hit the back of the Toyota pickup that Brian Harris, 56, of Bend, was driving. Police say the truck veered off the road and hit a tree.

The van also hit a tree. Police say Harris died at the scene.

Officials are investigating speed and alcohol as factors in the crash. On Dec. 13, OSP released a request for information from the public about the crash, stating that Rogers was “believed to have been driving in a reckless manner prior to the crash.” Rogers was listed in good condition at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend as of Tuesday.

Little Big Man eventually made his way to the Animal Emergency Center of Central Oregon, and then to Brookswood Animal Hospital, where Harris had had close ties with the staff. Kristin Jackson, who works as a receptionist, knows Little Big Man well, having taken care of him on numerous occasions when Harris had work or other obligations.

“He was my little buddy,” Jackson said, “which I’m glad, because then when Brian was gone, he had somebody he kinda knew.”

Jackson says in April, Harris adopted Little Big Man from Redmond’s Brightside Animal Center, which had received Little Big Man as part of a shipment of rescued

animals from California. Jackson and Harris developed a connection when Brookswood staff helped Harris look for Little Big Man, who ran away for five days shortly after his adoption. From there, Jackson became the dog’s de facto dog sitter at the clinic, taking care of Little Big Man when Harris went to doctor’s appointments.

“It’s pretty awful. I really was a friend of Brian, I considered him my friend. So for me it was just really hard to lose somebody like that and then to have to worry about if his dog’s going to be OK, and financially be able to give him the surgeries he needs and stuff. It was really awful,” Jackson related.

"It's pretty awful. I really was a friend of Brian, I considered him my friend. So for me it was just really hard to lose somebody like that and then to have to worry about if his dog's going to be OK." — KRISTIN JACKSON “I feel very fortunate that Aaron was there and took the dog,” Jackson says, “because I think it could have ended up very differently had he not taken it.”

Beaty says so far, the three local vet clinics—and other supporters—have stepped in to help cover the costs of recovery for Little Big Man. In addition, he’s now in a new home.

Ron Pugh, a retired Central Oregonian, got permission from Harris’ family to adopt Little Big Man, taking him home Dec. 15. Little Big Man still has casts on his legs and a road to recovery, but he’s stable.

“It was all kind of perfect how it played out,” Jackson said. “I mean, as perfect as that situation can be.” SW

Cascade-Siskiyou: Under attack or saving a way of life?

T

A MONUMENT OF ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY President Bill Clinton created the Cascade-Siskiyou monument by proclamation in 2000. President Barack Obama doubled its area during his final days in office in January.

In his proclamation, Obama cited the need to protect the monument’s “ecological wonders and biological diversity.” Hundreds of plant and animal species live there, making it, if not unique, exceedingly rare.

“It’s a special place, a one-of a kind for Oregon and Northern California,” said Reid Schuller, a plant ecologist who lives in Bend and has spent time studying and recreating in the monument— though he doesn’t differentiate between the two activities.

FLICKR / BLM

his month, the president slashed about 2 million acres from two national monuments in Utah. Now he and his administration are turning their eyes northwest, toward Oregon and the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. Democrats and Republicans, conservationists and extractors fell into predictable shouting matches at the prospect of a shrinking Cascade-Siskiyou. Meanwhile, the question of how the nation will manage public lands hangs in the balance.

The president based his decision on a memo by Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, covering the reviewed monuments created or expanded in recent years. That memo included a close look at Cascade-Siskiyou, which could be next on Trump’s list. Jes Burns, Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Southern Oregon environmental reporter with EarthFix, suggests that an announcement could come by mid-January, when a delay in an Association of O&C Counties lawsuit requested by the federal government is set to expire.

Dave Willis, chair of the Soda Mountain Wilderness Council, shares that sentiment. “It’s a veritable Noah’s Ark of biodiversity,” he said. He also noted that it serves as an important land bridge for wildlife to move between distinct ecological zones. The Soda Mountain Wilderness sits inside the monument.

For many people, though, it’s just flat out gorgeous and a place to retreat from the rush of daily life. The Cascade-Siskiyou is a monument to the grandeur of the West, rivaling other national parks.

“The natural setting of the monument is crucial to us,” Ashland Mayor John Stromberg said. “We care about it, and we care for it. It’s the theater in which life plays out in Ashland and this part of the Rogue Valley.”

Bend resident Karen Lillebo has visited the monument many times with her husband. “Since we enjoyed playing in the outdoors often, we would get away to the Cascade-Siskiyou when we needed a change of scenery from our favorite places in the high desert of Central Oregon,” she said. “You can go from rocky outcrops with juniper and sage, to luxurious conifer forests, to flower-filled meadows, to oak groves in short hikes

or rides. We traveled by foot on some trips, and by horses for others.”

The monument covers 170,000 acres, with 113,000 acres of it owned and managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Most of the rest is private land.

“It’s a living laboratory to try to understand the history of that area, a unique and important piece of our natural history here in the United States,” said Brent Fenty, executive director of the Bend-based Oregon Natural Desert Association.

PUBLIC SUPPORT When Zinke was gathering information for his memo, people submitted 2.8 million comments about national monuments, overwhelmingly commenting in favor of protecting public lands.

“Monuments clearly have broad public support,” Fenty said. “The administration’s decision is out of bounds from the public’s view.” That fits with a school of thought that holds that all Americans should have a say in how the country manages national monuments.

Federal lands belong to all Americans, held in trust for future generations.

That isn’t the only view, though.

Trump, Zinke and their allies favor more listening to the people who live near it, in the belief that they better understand the area and have greater connection to the land. Those neighbors aren’t as monolithic in their support. Many people in the cities of Ashland and Talent favor a monument, while many in Jackson and other rural counties worry about lost timber revenue at a time when they are slashing services because they lack money.

Meanwhile, the debate has become political. As Democrats tell it, Trump and Zinke are almost personally throwing torches into fragile ecosystems. Sen. Jeff Merkley said a reduction would be a “monumental mistake” and that Trump is “recklessly risking the future of irreplaceable biodiversity and natural wonder.

Sen. Ron Wyden called Trump’s reductions a “spiteful campaign to stop American families from having access to the lands they know and love.”

State officials joined in, too. Gov. Kate Brown warned of “lasting generational implications,” and Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum used the issue and her title to raise money for an

CONFLICTING LAWS The American Antiquities Act of 1906 gave presidents the authority to create national monuments without congressional help. The act’s goal was to protect “historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the Government of the United States.”

Most presidents since then have exercised that authority, and there are now more than 125 national monuments of varying sizes around the country.

When President Clinton relied on the “scientific interest” part of the Antiquities Act to justify the Cascade-Siskiyou monument, few people argued with it.

That changed when Obama nearly doubled its size.

Most of the public lands in the expansion are so-called O&C lands, leftovers from a 19th century plan to link rail lines in Oregon and California. A 1937 law says that they are supposed to be managed for sustained timber production.

Revenue from timber was supposed to partially offset lost property taxes and help pay for roads, law enforcement, libraries and other local services.

That creates a conflict. Presidents can create monuments, and those monuments don’t allow for commercial logging, but the O&C lands are specifically set aside for commercial logging.

It’s the sort of situation lawyers love.

The Association of O&C Counties filed a

lawsuit shortly after Obama announced his expansion. The AOCC is especially concerned because its 18 member counties share profits from timber harvests on O&C land.

“Our hope is the government will recognize that the expansion was inappropriate,” said Doug Robertson of AOCC’s liaison services. “When Congress designates land for a specific use in legislation, the president doesn’t have the authority to say, ‘I don’t care about that use. I’m going to put it in a national monument.’”

Robertson cites a 1940 opinion by President Theodore Roosevelt’s solicitor general that O&C lands can’t be

included in monuments because of the incompatibility. Coincidentally, the monument in question then was the Oregon Caves National Monument.

Defenders of the monument reply that the O&C Act does not call for heavily logging all O&C lands. It also provides for protecting watersheds, regulating stream flow and contributing to the local economy. A monument can be managed consistently with those goals.

“Just because they have 16,000 acres that they can’t clear cut is not the end of the world,” Soda Mountain Conservancy’s Willis said. “Managing land for preservation is much better for the Oregon economy than continued on page 11...

“The president should be protecting our national treasures – not stripping our lands of protection. Can I count on you to help me resist Trump and protect Oregon’s public lands…,” Rosenblum wrote.

Republicans are equally blunt.

Rep. Greg Walden, in whose district most of the Cascade-Siskiyou monument sits, blamed it for reduced property rights and local tax revenue, and invoked the devastating wildfires as proof that we must return to “responsible management of our public lands.”

Zinke joined the debate, too, with a CNN op-ed defending reductions and saying that presidents including Obama and Clinton had weaponized national monuments “to prevent uses like timber harvesting and cattle grazing—ways of life for many American families and the lifeblood of many local economies.”

Given those stark differences, the public debate makes it easy for some to choose a side. But scratch past the rhetoric and the issue is far more complicated.

SIZE MATTERS The Antiquities Act also specifies that national monuments “shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected.” The Clinton monument was fine, opponents say, but Obama’s expansion went beyond the smallest area required.

Supporters of the monument have science on their side, though. Obama’s expansion came after rigorous review of the biological systems in the area, and more than 200 scientists endorsed it. “[Scientists] determined that the boundaries were too small because of increasing human population, development, commodity use on adjacent land and climate change,” Willis said. In fact, Obama went with a smaller expansion than scientists and Oregon’s senators had recommended.

SHRINKAGE Monument supporters argue that Trump doesn’t have the legal authority to shrink national monuments. The Antiquities Act empowers presidents to create them, not cut them back, they say. A coalition of Native American tribes make that argument in a suit filed against the Bears Ears reduction. Conservationists and other groups have filed other lawsuits challenging the Utah reductions.

The president’s supporters note that previous presidents have cut monuments, so there is precedent. Yet those past reductions were small adjustments.

They didn’t slash millions of acres, monument backers say.

The Western Values Project is spending $1 million on ads targeting Walden and two other House Republicans over monument reductions.

“In the heart of the west, 2 million acres of protected public land just got

wiped off the map, selling off American heritage,” the narrator ominously says in the ad.

In fact, the reductions have not sold off any lands. Privatization might be part of the long game for the Trump administration, but removing a national monument protection does not change the land’s underlying ownership. If Trump reduced the Cascade-Siskiyou monument, all the land currently owned and managed by the BLM inside it would continue to be owned and managed by the BLM. Whether that’s enough depends on whom you ask.

CONFLICTING PRIORITIES Are public lands economic engines, places for harvesting timber, mining, grazing cattle and other uses that Trump and Zinke want to see more of? Or are they engines of another sort, places where people go to recreate and connect with nature? Is there room for both?

The outcomes of lawsuits will help answer those questions, as will action— or inaction—by Congress. The Cascade-Siskiyou, Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, even the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge are all parts of a larger debate.

More people are starting to engage in that debate. ONDA’s Fenty reported a surge in interest in the group’s Public Lands Leaders program.

Schuller, the Bend plant ecologist, recognizes the complex legal and policy conflicts. “I think that needs to be resolved in the courts or Congress,” he said. “I’d have to live with it as citizen in a democracy.”

He hopes it shakes out in favor of preservation, though. “The people of the Northwest would lose something special – we could almost say unique – if the monument were to be significantly reduced,” he said. “It’s not the kind of thing you can just come back in and rebuild if we allow it to be harmed.” SW

NEWS repeal changing much for Central Oregonians, stating the “cost is a drop in the bucket,” for Netflix to pay large broadband providers such as Comcast to safeguard streams for their content—though he acknowledges that in some rural areas, consumers may face price increases. “If the Internet was only one or two companies, then it would be a different scenario,” says Cappuccio, adding that his company will not be passing along costs to its consumers.

Cappuccio says people’s focus should lie in regulating social media instead. “I’m more worried about how Facebook algorithms feed us biased information, effectively changing our society, making us more partisan and uninformed,” he says. “That’s a much bigger problem, the un-regulation of these algorithms. We should be more worried about that then what the big media companies want us to worry about, which is net neutrality, only because it will directly affect them.”

Roots in Oregon Net neutrality has its roots in Oregon, with the City of Portland advocating for open networks and competition rules as far back as the 1990s.

Quick on the heels of this repeal, 18 attorney generals, including Oregon’s own Rosenblum, say they’ll sue the FCC on the basis that more than two million of the comments to the FCC received regarding the

repeal may have been made using fraudulent identities, alleged automated “bots,” with some alleging submissions came from Russian email addresses. Indeed, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says his office has so far found more than two million fraudulent comments that violated the Administrative Procedure Act. And it’s not just states lining up to sue. Nonprofit Free Press said in a written statement it will mount a legal challenge against the repeal, joining others such as the National Hispanic Media Coalition, which said it will challenge the law. NHMC said the repeal is a “frontal attack on Latinos and other communities of color, who already face substantial barriers in getting online, staying online and having high quality Internet,” said Vice President Carmen Scurato.

All groups would need a federal injunction granted by a judge—otherwise Internet providers could start moving quickly to repeal net neutrality even as legal challenges move through the courts.

As mentioned, some local providers, including Yellowknife and BendTel, say they will not increase rates.

BendTel CEO Tom Barrett wrote in an emailed statement, “BendTel is in favor of net neutrality. We have and will continue to treat all customer Internet access the same and will not block, speed up or slow down, nor charge fees to access websites or content providers.”

Calls for statements from Bend Broadband and Webformix regarding the repeal of net neutrality went unanswered. SW

as Centurylink and Comcast can effectively take over a market if there are no regulations. Experts say consumers could potentially face severe price increases in an unregulated market with few providers. In rural Oregon, for example, only two high-speed Internet providers exist in some areas.

Wyden— one of the earliest and loudest voices regarding net neutrality—condemned the FCC’s decision, stating that it would hurt Oregonians.

“Consumers, rural Americans, small businesses and pretty much everyone except Big Cable executives will lose out thanks to this terrible proposal,” wrote Wyden, who led a campaign this past year to keep net neutrality.

Meanwhile, Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, has long said the rules interfere with business. A joint statement released by Walden’s office last week said it shows the FCC “understands the importance of making sure the Internet continues to flourish under a lighttouch regulatory regime.” Advocates such as Walden say consumers shouldn’t worry about increased costs, as the free market will regulate itself and safeguard consumers against steep price increases.

“One-third of nighttime Internet traffic in the United States comes solely from Netflix,” says Chris Cappuccio, co-owner of local ISP provider, Yellowknife Wireless Company. Cappuccio doesn’t foresee the

Cold Tunes SOUND Stone The Helio Sequence returns to Bend for the Apres Ski Bash

O

dds are, over the last several years, you’ve seen the indie rock goodness performed by one of Portland’s favorite bands, The Helio Sequence. The band has made it a tradition over the last three years to perform outdoors at The Commons, as part of the Downtown Apres Ski Bash series.

“It’s almost like a tradition at this point,” says vocalist and guitarist Brandon Summers. “It’s the third year they’ve asked us to come play. We like it because it’s a nice change of pace. It’s outdoors in the cold—it’s such a unique event.”

After performing outside for the past two years, Summers and bandmate Benjamin Weikel have gotten their performance down to a science. Summers will have a high-powered torch pointed at him. Weikel, meanwhile, moves around so much as a drummer that he stays pretty warm.

“It’s better than when we played a show in Orlando recently and the air conditioning broke. Benjamin was ready to pass out,” Summers recalls.

When it comes to new music, The Helio Sequence has been keeping busy, but not necessarily in the traditional way. The band recently collaborated with famed Portland advertising themes that can tie it all together. It was very much like writagency Wieden + Kennedy to release a soundtrack to an online ing a record.” game that helps a robot escape the Internet.

Laz Glickman

Providing private, compassionate euthanasia services for your cats & dogs in the privacy of your pet’s home.

Libby Hays, DVM DrLibby@MobileCatandDogVet.com

Laz Glickman found his love for jazz at a young age. The 17-year-old pianist’s father, Marshall Glickman, is the executive producer of the Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz series.

“My dad brought me into a jazz club in Boston when I was about five,” Glickman says. “It turned out the guy playing in there was Al Foster, who is a famous drummer. He used to play with Miles Davis. He came up to me at the set break and I told him that I wanted to play drums like him, but he said to play piano first.”

From there, the younger Glickman’s love of jazz began. While he’s dabbled in other instruments, he found his passion in the piano. He owns a drum kit for rehearsals and will play at home sometimes, but considers himself a keys player.

“You have so much more freedom than any other instrument because you can play chords, single note lines, all of the possibilities,” Glickman says.

“Everything is right in front of you, every possible note, it’s all laid out right in front of you, you’re staring at it the whole time.”

The Innovation Project, which performs the Thursday before the next Riverhouse Jazz series with Darrell Grant and David Goldblatt, formed during Mel Brown’s jazz workshop at Western Oregon University. Glickman met drummer Domo Branch in the seventh grade and they started playing together.

“He kept telling me about his friend, Finn. I was living in Bend at the time and they were in Portland,” Glickman says. “Finn went to the camp the next year and at that point I knew I was moving to Portland that summer. We’ve just been playing together, playing gigs around town ever since. I know them as musicians more than anyone else.

We’re also in a septet together that will be opening for David Goldblatt. We’ve played together so much that I almost know what’s going to happen before it happens.”

Next year, Glickman plans to attend the University of Oregon and double major in music and business.

To other young musicians pursing jazz, Glickman advises, “The most important thing is listening to the music, listening to all sorts of music. Listening to who you like and the greats.” Glickman adds: “Try to emulate them and also try to be yourself. I think that you can learn just as much, if not more, from just listening to music than sitting down and playing and practicing. Expose yourself to a wide variety of people and musicians. Even within jazz there are so many different types of music and styles. You

Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz Thursdays - Innovation Project Thurs., Dec. 21. 7-9pm Riverhouse on the Deschutes 3075 NW Hwy 97, Bend No cover.

David Goldblatt & Darrell Grant Jazz pianist David Goldblatt co-headlines the Riverhouse Jazz series Dec. 22 and 23 alongside jazz pianist Darrell Grant. While they may both be jazz pianists, don’t expect to hear back-to-back mirrored performances.

“I think what Darrell does and what I do are so different that it’s going to sound like two different bands,” Goldblatt says of the unique format. “The way I feature the guys and the way he does will be different. Also, hearing how we play piano may be complementary, but I don’t think there’s going to be this risk of having it sound the same at all.”

Goldblatt has had a rich career in the music industry in a variety of roles. In addition to playing the jazz piano, Goldblatt has worked in the film and television industry, composing and arranging music.

“I love it because of the stories; I’ve

always been attracted to that aspect. Jazz and improvisation, people telling stories through their instruments,” Goldblatt says of composing for the screen.

“As I got into composing over the years and specifically for pictures and media, combining improvisation with skill and coming up with something that amplifies what’s going on in the storyline is something I fell in love with.”

Since moving from Los Angeles to Portland, Goldblatt continues to pursue jazz and further his skills in improvisation.

He performs both solo and with a band.

“I like the interaction and intercommunication with playing with musicians,” Goldblatt says. “In the moment kind of risk taking that happens. The spontaneous response to those risks is fantastic fun. When I play solo, I can go anywhere and do anything. I like the challenge of being a solo pianist.”

Art games for your holiday gatherings

by Teafly Peterson

Exquisite Corpse This is one of the most famous art games out there and one you probably played when you were young. You can do this by drawing or writing. If you’re drawing, fold a piece of vertical paper into three sections. The first person draws the top part of the section—usually the head and face—and then folds it to hide what they’ve drawn, passing it to the next person, who draws the middle or belly and arms (and then hides what they draw) before passing it to the last person who draws the bottom section or the feet. Get multiple papers going so everybody is drawing at once, and so that you end up with multiple pieces of art. If you try this with poetry, have someone write the first line and pass it to the next person. The next person writes their line of poetry and folds the paper over to cover the first line. Each time you pass the paper, a new line is added and the paper folded only revealing the last line written. This can be hilarious when you see where people go with it.

Tele-strations This fun game combines drawing and writing. It works best if you have small pieces of paper you then compile at the end. The first person draws an image.

The image can be of anything, but if you find it hard to think of something, try giving a theme, such as “Christmas,” “Summer Vacations” or “Animals Eating.” Pass your drawing to the next person, who writes a sentence to describe the image on a separate piece of paper.

Then place the paper with the words over the drawing and pass it to the next person, who draws what the sentence describes. Keep doing this until you have about four or five various drawings. You then take them apart and see where you started! It’s like telephone, but with drawing. Get it? Tele-strations!

Master Collaborators This one is fun to do while you listen to music. Each person has their own piece of paper and, if possible, a different colored marker or pen. Set a timer for two minutes and have everyone draw for the whole two minutes. If you’re lost on what to start drawing, give the crew a theme or set up a small still life for people to look at. When the two minutes are up, pass your paper to the person to your left, set the timer and draw for two more minutes. This time you’ll be drawing on someone else’s image to see where it can go. It’s always fun to make a monster that’s eating the rabbit your little cousin drew. She might not find it hilarious, but you’ll feel better!

The game ends when your paper makes it back to you. It’s fun to see how others added or diverged from your original

y artist friends and I often hear from our patrons and admirers things like, “Oh, I’m not creative at all,” or “I wish I was artistic.”

The truth is, as artists we spend years developing our crafts and skills. These are hard-earned qualities, ones to which we devote a lot of time in order to grow.

Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with art. Here are some fun games you can play with your family and friends that will help you tap into that creative potential.

image. And if you’re using different-colored pens or markers or pencils, it is easier to tell who did what!

With all of these games, don’t worry if the results aren’t perfect. Often when artists play these games the doodles and lines of poetry can be hilarious and silly. That’s one of the points of the games.

Think Pictionary without the board and

giant easel to draw on. For sure, your Aunt Gertrude will draw the Leaning Tower of Pisa that she insists isn’t a dirty picture! And maybe it really isn’t supposed to be risqué—but in any case you’ll be busting a gut.

This holiday season, have some fun making art. You can always Tivo the big game. SW

Less Waste, More Joy

A guide to reducing waste around the holidays

By Denise Rowcroft, The Environmental Center

Stuff You Can Reuse

Prep a reusable gift bag or some kind of container and add these things to it: -- Fabric ribbons, long twine and decorative material -- Reusable containers like metal tins, cloth wrapping and boxes -- Gift tags, as long as they still look good -- Gift bags -- Tissue paper that’s in good shape -- Wrapping paper you really like

Stuff You Can Recycle

Prep a cardboard box or some paper shopping bags, and add these things to it: -- Wrapping paper (except the foil kind) -- Paperboard packaging (think cereal box). If it has plastic on one side, pull off the plastic and toss, then recycle the cardboard -- Cardboard boxes, flattened -- Paper holiday cards -- Ripped paper gift bags

Stuff You Have to Trash

The only use for your one garbage bag would be these things: -- Tissue paper you can’t reuse -- Foil wrapping paper -- Plastic ribbon -- All plastic packaging on toys, electronics, etc.

-- Photo printed holiday cards There are many other actions you can take to help curb your personal impact this time of year. Read more holiday tips and ideas from The Rethink Waste Project, a program of The Environmental Center, at rethinkwasteproject.org.

t’s estimated that between each Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, more than 1 million tons of additional waste is generated EACH WEEK nationwide. And that doesn’t even take into account all the waste and resources used upstream, around the world, to create all the new stuff people buy this time of year. To prevent and reduce waste, all it takes is some thoughtful planning. Whether you’re planning for a shared meal or a family gift exchange, take a few extra steps this year so that you’re not contributing to the problem.

Now is a good time to prepare for Christmas morning, or whenever you plan to exchange gifts. Ideally, you’ve chosen gifts well-suited for the recipient, you’ve bought them an experience, or you’ve made them something yourself. But regardless, here’s a handy guide to dealing with the inevitable waste.

For starters: Don’t just prep one big black bag! If everything ends up in one garbage bag, it’s guaranteed to be headed for the landfill. Instead, set up a station before you begin a gift exchange, using containers to separate what can be reused next holiday, what can be recycled and what goes into the trash.

David Rosen

L

I G H T

By Richard Sitts

“I’m a second-time transplant,” Rosen says. He left Bend in 1999 and returned in 2010, bringing his family with him.

Between moves to Bend, he earned his bachelor’s in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and graduated from law school at the University of Maryland. He also married his wife, Lisa. They now have two daughters, ages 12 and 13.

The idea for the Lawyer in the Library program came out of Bend’s seven-member Access to Justice Committee, which Rosen chairs. He and fellow member Jeff Hall, trial court administrator for the Deschutes County Circuit Court, helped form the committee about two years ago. Its mission is to provide better access to legal assistance for anyone who needs it. Rosen explains that the library program has three prongs: offering people improved access to attorneys, better access to court documents and more access to information.

Rosen, 42, was one of the first attorneys to volunteer for the program, one of seven lawyers who have volunteered their time so far. “We’re really grateful to have them, but we need more attorneys, and that’s what I’m working on,” Rosen says. He works with fellow volunteer

Cara Ponzini, a family law attorney who also serves on the committee, to staff and train volunteer lawyers.

In March, Rosen established his own law practice, High Desert Law, working on personal injury cases. “So I’m pretty used to talking to people for free,” he jokes. “I love living here and I feel really fortunate to live here. We have a fantastic community, but our community has needs. It’s great if we all can contribute back into the community.”

Rosen is proud of what the Lawyer in the Library program has accomplished so far. “I’ve been impressed by the folks who’ve been coming in. They’ve been organized, know what they want and ask pointed questions. And there are others who want to know how they get started and what they need to do,” Rosen says.

“And there’s a good number of attorneys in our community who are willing to help out and take cases at a lower rate. Our goal is to put these two groups together. I think we’re off to a good start, but we have more work to do. It’s definitely a group effort. I think this works because of all the community

partnerships, and that’s a testimony to this community, finding out how to provide help.”

When he isn’t lawyering, Rosen revels in the activities that bring many people to Central Oregon: snowboarding and paddle boarding, hanging out at local lakes or just staying in town and enjoying what Bend has to offer. For the past several years, he’s also played guitar in a trio, jamming on original songs as well as rock and country covers. Hanging in his downtown office is a large photograph, originally published in Rolling Stone, of Jerry Garcia standing with his guitar in a tall wheat field—a gift from the photographer, who’s a personal friend.

Adding to his flexible repertoire, Rosen has also taught yoga on various occasions. Most recently he and some friends started a practice that specializes in a distinct method of breathing and relaxation.

For more information about the Lawyer in the Library program, contact Rosen at 541-306-6553, or call Nate Pedersen at the Deschutes Public Library, 541-6177092. SW

“There’s a good number of folks in the community who need an attorney, who don’t qualify for legal aid and can’t afford an attorney, and I don’t think they’re being served.”

Fostering better communication in the courts and more access to legal information through the Lawyer in the Library program

uring his time in Bend, attorney David Rosen has gone from working at the Deschutes Brewery to working on the Deschutes River to providing free legal advice to anyone who needs it.

That most recent endeavor stems from Rosen’s involvement with the Lawyer in the Library program, offering anyone who signs up a free consultation with an attorney on Wednesday evenings at the Deschutes Public Library downtown. The weekly program—the first of its kind in Oregon—has assisted roughly 90 Central Oregonians since its inception three months ago.

“There’s a good number of folks in the community who need an attorney, who don’t qualify for legal aid and can’t afford an attorney, and I don’t think they’re being served,” says Rosen.

When Rosen moved to Bend, in 1997, he landed a job washing dishes at the Deschutes Brewery Public House, working his way up to line cook and baker. He later took a job with the Bureau of Land Management office in Prineville.

“I knew I wanted to go to Oregon,” says the New Jersey native. He’d originally intended to move to Government Camp so he could ski at Mt. Hood. But while traveling in Costa Rica, he met a guy who told him he should move to Bend instead.

By the Source Staff

If you’ve ever pondered the #MAGA movement and wondered when, exactly, America was so “great,” this could be an approximation. (True only in artistic form, but approximate nonetheless.) Don’t ponder our slave-owning past. Push away thoughts of imperialism or Manifest Destiny. Just picture, if you will, the sight of a glowing turkey, presented by a woman who’s been willingly working in the kitchen aaallll day. Ah yes, there you go.

Whatever the state of the world, many of us are about to sit down together to break bread (and glug down full glasses of wine in one gulp) with our families.

While the Rockwell turkey painting might be what comes to mind when we think of classic holiday dinners, the reality is slightly less... uh... glowing? In honor of the holidays, Source staffers share their odd, quirky, and sometimes downright torturous holiday food traditions.

The Pitter Patter of Polish Feet—in Jello

By Magdalena Bokowa Magdalena Bokowa If I were to estimate how long it’d take to explain the subtle delicacies, rules and dishes surrounding an authentic Polish European Christmas I’d say: three liters of vodka. One for each day of this long weekend.

Before anything begins, my mother digs out— from under the table, nestled in some hay (the “manger”) a bit of flour wafer, opłatek— and we cheerfully wish each other great tidings (health, winning the lottery, babies etc) for the new year. Due to Christ’s penchant for taking fish and splitting it into seeming infinity, Poles don’t touch anything that’s lived and died on Christmas, Easter…. and every Friday?

Fish is OK, though.

The vegetarian-cabbage-copious Christmas-eve dinner is the most solemn affair, with a whopping 12 different dishes. It’s somber, maybe because we’re all holding it in after stuffing our faces with bigos (cabbage and mushroom stew) or maybe it’s because no one’s drinking alcohol (openly). Or maybe it’s because your Polish parents are glaring at one another from across the 12-foot table, weathering the culinary storm without vodka.

After four hours of sleep (because you’ve just shuffled to midnight-mass, opened presents and eaten leftovers at your mother’s bequest), Christmas breakfast begins and rains down deviled eggs, sauerkraut, pickles and pickled herring galore.

A few hours later, your guts are rumbling from the onslaught of healthy bacteria, and Christmas dinner round two is upon us: The Meat Version. Day three is reserved for commoners, or as my mom calls them, “Magdalena’s friends.”

The arrival of the revered “Nozki w Galarecie,” translated quite literally to “little feet in Jello,” is a highlight for any family gathering. Though traditionally made from pigs feet, my mother spared us this version and instead got a whole fish—head n’ all, smothered in peas and carrots, then frozen in a grayish Jello. Photo above for proof.

If Jello-fish ain’t your thang, have no fear, you have other options… like ryba po grecku (“Greek fish” in tomato sauce), gołąbki (“little pigeons,” though they’re just cabbage rolls), perogies (dumplings), makowiec (poppy-seed cake) and the deus-ex machina: carpe. Maybe you think it’s a dirty, no good, bottom feeder with tiny little bones that provide even the seasoned eater with choking hazards, but Poles love it. And it’s horrible unless it’s fresh, so hence why there's stories of families keeping ‘em alive in their bathtubs before slaugh..err, dinner. But then again, for day two and three you’re slamming vodka, so the food or the freshness of the carpe, doesn’t really matter... SW Lisa Sipe

Where the cookies at?

By Lisa Sipe Our holidays are all about cookies! There are kolackys from my dad’s Polish side of the family, with a light cream cheese cookie base that wraps around raspberry or apricot pastry filling. The cookies are light, fluffy and melt in your mouth. I love the pop of tart, sweetness from the fruit. My mom makes them by pinching two sides of the square dough together so you can see the filling. My grandma made them like a little package with all the corners pinched.

We also have German dolly cookies shaped like little people, boots and diamonds from my mom’s family. Dolly isn’t the real name, my great grandma made it up—probably so we could pronounce it. Dolly cookies are like a crispy shortbread topped with caramelized sugar and ground walnuts. With a dough that includes hard-boiled egg yolks, I’ve never found another recipe like it. When I told my mom I was writing this, she said, “Don’t share the dolly recipe!” My lips are sealed. SW

Is Aunt Robin bringing her bars?

By Nicole Vulcan Bring together more than three Minnesotans to watch the Vikes, play pinochle or just to have a “little lunch,” and guaranteed, someone’s going to make up a pan of bars. Think lemon bars, but with more cream than you knew possible.

There’s a funeral coming, but is anyone talking about the deceased? Probably not.

What they are talking about is which bars Aunt Robin is bringing to the wake. Will it be the caramel ones she brought to the American Legion omelet feed last year? Or maybe the chocolate ones she made for last month’s meat raffle? It’s anyone’s guess. Whatever it is, those bars will be the talk of Blue Earth County for the rest of the winter—which is long.

Bars are a staple of Minnesota cuisine. Add in a side of summer sausage, the Swedish lutefisk that no one wants to eat, but will do so out of “tradition,” and a hotdish (no, that’s not referring to the date you’re surprising your parents with at Christmas dinner, and no, it’s not called a casserole) and you’re all set. Now the big question is, who’s going to call Grandma out for cheating at cards? SW

Memories of Montana

By Keely Damara Growing up in Montana, my family would often spend part of the holidays with my Great Aunt Beverley. All five of my great aunts and my grandma on my mother’s side loved to cook. Between the yodeling and organ playing, my great aunts would cook up dishes that, while perhaps not unique to the plains of Montana, were definitely unique to their generation. I remember quite vividly being very weirded out by what my great aunts considered a pistachio salad. It was, in fact, not a salad at all—but something akin to Ambrosia salad (note: also not a salad).

The concept of eating a side with dinner that is almost entirely constituted of marshmallows, pistachio pudding and whipped cream went against what I had learned as the proper order of meals, in which dessert was to be eaten last.

If you haven’t tried it, it is delicious—and a staple during the holidays for my family, even after my great aunts have passed away. SW

COCO: Leave it to Pixar to make a cute and heartwarming animated film about death and remembrance. “Coco” follows a young Mexican boy who travels to the Land of the Dead in order to follow his dreams to be a musician.

With groundbreaking animation and hauntingly beautiful music, “Coco” is the finest Pixar film in years. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS:

THE DISASTER ARTIST: The incredibly true story of the worst movie ever made and the enigmatic and volatile man who made it. This biopic focused on Greg Sestero's non-fiction novel about the filming of “The Room” is at turns hilarious and deeply heartbreaking, with James Franco's knockout portrayal of Tommy Wiseau keeps everything awards worthy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX FERDINAND: An animated adventure about a giant bull trying to escape from his cruel captors. With the voice talents of John Cena, Kate McKinnon, David Tennant and Anthony Anderson, “Ferdinand” should be a funny and fast-paced flick for the kids. The humor in the trailer is fairly juvenile, so don't expect Pixar-level animation.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: A movie featuring Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, Superman, The Flash and Cyborg shouldn't be so boring, but this new comic book movie feels like one missed opportunity after another. Featuring a terrible villain, silly dialogue and bad computer effects, “Justice League” is really only fun when showing the heroes actually using teamwork. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

LADY BIRD: Currently rocking a perfect score

on Rotten Tomatoes, “Lady Bird” is a lovely and honest coming-of-age story about a Catholic school senior who is desperately grasping for a future she might not reach. The film is an instant classic that's sure to be on many best of 2017 lists across the country. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE SQUARE: At well over two hours long, “The Square” can sometimes feel like a punishing exercise in cinema, but there's nothing quite like it out there. A modern art gallery director questions morality, humanity and social constructs as his normally cushy life starts falling apart around him. Expect to have some very detailed discussions with friends and loved ones once the closing credits roll. Tin Pan Theater THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI: Writer/Director Martin

McDonagh, who is responsible for the modern classics, “Seven Psychopaths” and “In Bruges,” brings us another darkly hilarious look at human nature. With awards-worthy performances by Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell, “Three Billboards” is a wildly original piece of art that should not be missed.

vel movies over the last few years, but they're all building toward the delirious crescendo that will be “Avengers: Infinity War” next year, where we'll finally have the Avengers teaming up with the Guardians of the Galaxy. “Ragnarok” is another delightfully entertaining entry in the franchise, sending Thor and the Hulk on a mission in space.

WONDER: The little movie that could! This follows a facially disfigured little boy entering a public school for the first time, in fifth grade.

Binging in America

RLJE Films

Politics, Brawls and The Evil Dead

By Jared Rasic

45

RLJE Films

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 51 / December 21, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Welcome back, everyone!

It’s time to dive back in to all things bingeable.

“Mayhem” follows Steven Yeun, Glenn from “The Walking Dead.”

In Pod We Trust:

DVD and BLU:

“Pod Save America” has been on a roll since its inception in January. Its levelheaded, yet blisteringly hilarious look at the current occupants of the White House is just enough to keep the most panicked progressive sane. Four former aides to Barack Obama take on the Trump administration with dignity, intelligence and a beautiful sense of irony without giving in to depression. The most recent episode delves into Doug Jones’ improbable win over Rapey McBannedFromMalls and it’s the perfect place to start.

In case you’re tired of hearing about the state of the world and would like a bit of fiction with your podcasts, “Homecoming” is a chilling psychological thriller about a caseworker in a mysterious government facility treating a soldier with PTSD. The main character quickly comes to realize that all is not as it appears. Sam Esmail, creator of “Mr. Robot,” is turning the podcast into a TV series, so pretty soon there will be a multitude of ways to consume this painfully addictive story.

The end of the year is usually pretty slow with DVD and BLU releases since studios want their products in stores before Christmas, but there are still a few interesting indie things coming out. Three blisteringly violent and darkly hilarious action flicks are all coming out the day after Christmas, so if you need a belated present... you could do worse.

“Killing Gunther” has Arnold Schwarzenegger playing the world’s greatest hitman and it’s pretty fun, but super dumb. Arnold’s gotta eat.

“Mayhem” follows Steven Yeun (Glenn from “The Walking Dead”) as a disgraced office worker caught in the middle of a viral apocalypse. Picture “Office Space” meets “28 Days Later,” but also startlingly original in its ability to create weirdly violent imagery.

The real catch is “Brawl in Cell Block 99,” a slowburn prison beat-em-up starring Vince Vaughn in his best work since “Swingers.” Directed by S. Craig Zahler, the mastermind behind the criminally underseen “Bone Tomahawk,” this action-drama will be treated like a classic in a few decades.

Bald Vince Vaughn in "Brawl in Cell Block 99"

Bingeworthy: The first two seasons of “Ash vs the Evil Dead” have been added to Netflix. The series is the true sequel to Sam Raimi’s gory spook-a-blast we’ve been waiting for.

The show understands Ash on a cellular level, so every choice he makes is at once deeply disappointing and hilariously inevitable. It’s the definition of “Bingeworthy,” as every episode dramatically escalates the situation from fighting a single demon to saving the world.

Or you could just watch “Boss Baby,” I guess. SW If there’s anything you think I should take a closer look at in the realm of Podcasts, Netflix or pop culture in general, shoot me a line at Jared@bendsource.com.

Natural World

I got him, Dad, and he bites too!

By Jim Anderson Ford Econovan camper, bolting it to the engine housing between Mom and Dad. That way, he could see everything going on out in front of him, and one of us could grab him in case things went south in a hurry.

Just as we were going around a curve on the road between the town of Antelope and the crossing of the John Day River at Clarno, we all spotted a magnificent Great Basin Gopher Snake, also known as a “bull snake,” on the shoulder of the road. This was the moment I was waiting for. Dean had already spotted the snake and was ready to go, so I slowed down, pulled over on the shoulder and said, “Whadda’ think, Dean... do you want that snake?”

Before he could answer, his mother said, “Oh, no, Jim... You wouldn’t!”

Dean didn’t even hear her; he was so focused on the fast-escaping snake. I opened my door, looked both ways for traffic, and there being none, dumped him out. Away he went, right for the snake. His first grab was near the tail, and true to form, that bent-on-escaping snake turned around and sunk its teeth into Dean’s wrist.

Dean just used his other hand and grabbed the snake by the back of its head.

Standoff. Without releasing either hand on the snake’s body, he turned around and headed back for the old Ford, tears streaming down his face, balanced, however, by a big grin, as he shouted, “I got him, Dad, and he bites, too!”

From that experience, even at his tender age, it was easy to have a discussion regarding injuries to the human body when one is careless about picking up snakes—especially rattlesnakes.

You’d think that would have been that, and for the most part, it was. From that day on, Dean was cautious about picking up any snake—except for one time.

When he was about 16, we were living

The doctor who was on call was at dinner with his wife and friends and wasn’t too happy about the “dumb kid” that got bitten by a rattlesnake. “Where’s the snake?” he asked as he inspected the tiny puncture wounds in the end of Dean’s finger.

“I let it go.” Dean replied.

The doctor looked up in shock and almost shouted, “What!? You let it go!?

You should have killed it and brought it in to me. How will I know how to treat your wound if I don’t know what kind of snake it was?”

“It was a rock rattlesnake, (Crotalus lepidus),” Dean said, quietly.

“How do I know it was a rock rattlesnake?” the doctor asked with some degree of unhappiness and doubt. I tried to calm the whole situation down by telling the doctor of Dean’s naturalist abilities. The doctor was happy, Dean recovered, the snake went on to live out his life after being so discourteously handled by a not-too-cautious, but very inquisitive kid.

Something similar happened again when Dean and his family were living in South Carolina. As I answered a Skype call from Dean’s family one day, the first voice I heard was that of my grandson, Sam. “Hi Grandpa Jim, this is Sam. Wait ‘til you see the broad-headed skink I caught!”

My daughter-in-law, Carol-Anne, came into view, adding, “Yes, the boys are so excited about Sam catching the skink they had to call you.” I then saw the boys get up. As they did, Carol-Anne shouted, “Take the container and the skink outside, don’t you open that cage in here!” Soon, the skink was on the screen, firmly gripped in Sam’s hand.

As I gazed in wonder at the skink, I also noticed some very new injuries to Sam’s hand, and asked about them.

Oh,” Sam replied, “that happened when I caught the skink, Grandpa—and it bites too,” he added, as it jumped out of his hand and ran off under the couch.

Carol-Anne, with the hint of a smile, said to her husband, while glancing at me, “The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, did it?” SW

A

round 40 years ago my first son, Dean, was born to parents deeply involved in the nature of the world.

His sweet mom was a high school biology teacher who kept a pet opossum, “Dartmouth,” to whom she fed canned dog food from a fork, and a father who slept in eagle nests and played with snakes and spiders. The poor kid never had a chance.

At the time, I was working for The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland, taking school kids on nature trips, running science camps, fostering science programs and taking my partner, “Owl,” a handicapped Great Horned Owl, around to schools.

From the time Dean was a little guy and through his years as a father of five rambunctious kids (three of whom are now in college), he’s always asked, “why” about everything. His younger siblings are all that way.

Dean, however, was always one jump ahead of everyone else. He was, after all, the first-born. His curiosity knew no bounds, and his ability to immediately assess a situation has served him well— including during his time as a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force.

As a small boy, he was fearless. If a snake was in his sights, he had to catch it and tow it back for inspection and approval by his parents. He was the best “Bring ‘em back alive, Frank Buck,” you could find, and he was barely out of diapers.

“What happens if he goes after a rattlesnake?” was a question asked by his mother as Dean fearlessly dragged home everything that crawled and slithered.

The answer came on a trip to OMSI’s Camp Hancock, (now the Hancock Field Station) near Fossil, Ore. In those days, we didn’t have all the child restraints we do today, so I built Dean a seat (with a safety belt in it) right up front in our

on the Nature Conservancy’s Ramsey Canyon Preserve in Arizona, where I was preserve manager. Ramsey Canyon Preserve, in those days, was known as “The Hummingbird Capital of the World.”

The Huachuca Mountains above the preserve were also home to several of southeast Arizona’s classy reptiles.

Dean was (and still is) a great naturalist and tour guide (although at this moment he’s on active duty in Afghanistan). I often turned him loose on nature walks into the upper parts of the preserve with visitor and guests. One day a very overweight man came running down the trail with a wild look in his eye, and trying to shout, he gasped to me, “Your son (puff, puff) was just bitten by a rattlesnake!”

He was panting so hard, and sweating so profusely, I was afraid for his heart, so I asked him to sit in the shade and I went for a cool drink of water for him.

After he caught his breath and cooled down somewhat, I asked him for more details, fearing the worst.

The incident took place about a half mile up the trail from the preserve when Dean picked up a small rattlesnake to show to his group. He was a little careless and the snake turned himself around and got Dean.

“What was Dean doing the last time you saw him?” I asked the breathless informant.

“He was sitting on a rock with his hand in Ramsey Creek,” was part of the answer. The other part was, “and as I was leaving to report the snake bite, he said, 'Oh, boy, wait till my dad hears about this."

When I arrived at the reported place, Dean was still sitting there with his hand in the creek, a sheepish grin on his face.

His first words were, “I’m sorry, Dad.” He was still grinning. I couldn’t help but feel good about what had happened, in spite of not knowing how badly he had been bitten. Turned out, the snake nailed him on the very end of his middle finger. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

We walked slowly back down to the preserve, Dean with his arm lowered to his side, heading for the hospital in Sierra Vista. And here comes the best part.

Investing in Affordable Housing for Workers

I

and Google also announced plans to get new affordable housing in Silicon Valley. Facebook plans to bring in 1,500 new housing units. Google’s parent company is reportedly also spending about $30 million to provide temporary prefab housing for about 300 of their employees. The reduced costs of the prefab housing will be passed on to occupants, with an estimated $700 per month reduction in rents over other housing.

While our Central Oregon housing affordability woes are small in comparison to these extreme examples, it’s interesting to look at how things are being managed in the more extreme problem areas, because they show the potential for help from these same larger companies, such as Facebook, as they continue to move into our area.

The large list of donors for the Housing Trust Silicon Valley shows the importance of businesses and employers getting together to fund and create solutions for securing housing for employees. This will be a large factor in decisions for employers to expand to new areas.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 51 / December 21, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n Bend, like in many other areas, employers are having trouble recruiting employees due to the high cost of housing. I’ve heard many stories of Central Oregon employers not being able to hire workers because the prospects decline their job offers once they try looking for a place to live. We’re not talking about low wage jobs. These are higher-level workers such as teachers, medical personnel and public service employees.

This is even more dramatic in nearby metropolitan areas such as the Bay Area, Seattle and Portland. In an effort to attract and retain top-notch candidates, some larger firms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google have been involved in securing affordable housing for their employees. Business Insider recently published an article on how a San Francisco law firm purchased a $3 million airplane to fly employees in from Texas instead of having them live in the Bay Area.

The article also reported that LinkedIn recently invested $10 million in the Housing Trust Silicon Valley, which has an impressive list of donors. Facebook

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS You Flooze, You Lose

I’m a married lesbian in my 50s. I blew up my happy marriage by having an affair with somebody I didn’t love and wasn’t even that attracted to. Now my wife, whom I love very much, is divorcing me.

Why did I cheat on her? I don’t understand my own behavior.

—Lost There are those special people you meet who end up changing your life — though ideally not from happily married person to lonely middle-aged divorcee living in a mildewy studio.

There’s a widespread assumption that “a happy marriage is insurance against infidelity,” explained the late infidelity researcher Shirley Glass. Even she used to assume that.

But, her research (and that of subsequent researchers) finds that even happily married people end up cheating — for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they want better sex or even just different sex. Sometimes they want an ego shine. And sometimes they feel something’s missing within them. But soul-searching is emotionally grubby, tedious work, so they first look for that missing something in the nearest hot person’s underpants.

It seems inexplicable (and borderline crazy) that you risked everything you care about for somebody you find kind of meh — until you look at this through the lens of “bounded rationality.”

And before anybody takes a lighter to hay on a pitchfork they plan to chase me with, I’m simply offering a possible explanation for such baffling behavior; I’m not excusing cheating.

“Bounded rationality” is the late Nobel Prize-winning cognitive scientist Herbert Simon’s term for the constraints on our ability to make truly reasoned, rational decisions.

These decision-making constraints include having a limited time to make a choice and limited cognitive ability, which keeps us from seeing the whole picture, with its rainbow of repercussions.

We can end up engaging in what psychologists call “framing,” a sort of selecta-vision in which we make decisions based on whichever part of the picture happens to be in mental focus at the time. (Of course, we’re more likely to focus on how fun it would be to have a little strange than how strange it would be to end up exiled to a motel when the wife finds out.)

For some people, behavior from their spouse that suggests “Ha-ha…crossed my fingers during that vows thing!” is simply a deal breaker. But say your wife still loves you and is mainly leaving because she feels she can’t trust you. (A partner who inexplicably

cheats is a partner there’s no stopping from inexplicably cheating again.)

If you can explain — though not excuse!

— your thinking (or nonthink) at the time, maybe your wife will agree to try couples therapy, at least for a few months. Bounded rationality aside, I suspect you’re unlikely to cheat again, and especially not on what I call “The ER Model” for bad decisions: patients muttering, “This isn’t how I thought the night would end” — just before the doctor extracts the light saber-toting action figure from a place where, no, the sun does not shine but supplemental illumination is generally unnecessary.

Good Mourning!

How long does it take to get over someone? One friend said it takes half as long as you were together and another said it takes twice that time.

—Recently Dumped Sometimes it takes a while to let go, but sometimes you’re so ready that you’d chase the person off your porch with a shotgun (if you had a porch or a shotgun and weren’t afraid of doing time on a weapons charge).

Your friends, with their precise breakup timetables, are confusing emotional recovery with mass transit. The reality is, people vary — like in how naturally resilient they are — and so do relationships. (Some are long over before they’re formally retired.)

Sadness after a breakup can feel like the pointless adult version of getting grounded indefinitely.

However, as I’ve written in previous columns, psychiatrist and evolutionary psychologist Randolph Nesse explains Amy Alkon that sadness appears to be “adaptive” — meaning that it has useful functions. For example, the “disengagement” from motivation that accompanies sadness gives us time to process what happened, possibly helping us learn from our mistakes instead of inviting them back in for an eggnog.

Accordingly, a way to heal emotionally is to find meaning within your mistakes — figuring out what you might have seen or done differently, which tells you what you should probably do differently in the future.

In other words, think of the sadness holding you down not as your hostage-taker but as your helper. Deliberately using it that way might even help you curb the impatience that leads some to start dating before they’re actually ready. Sure, on a first date, it’s good to give a guy the sense that you’re passionate and emotionally present, but probably not by sobbing uncontrollably when he asks whether you want a latte.

Got a problem? Write Amy Alkon, 171 Pier Ave. Suite 280, Santa Monica, CA 90405, or e-mail AdviceAmy@aol.com (advicegoddess.com).

ASTROLOGY

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2018, one

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Years ago, when I started my career as a horoscope writer, my editor counseled me, “Always give priority to the Big Three. Romance, money, and power are what people care about most.” After a few months, he was disgruntled to realize that I wrote about how to cultivate psychological health and nourish spiritual aspirations as much as his Big Three. He would have replaced me if he could have found another astrology writer whose spelling and grammar were as good as mine. But his edict traumatized me a bit. Even today, I worry that I don’t provide you with enough help concerning the Big Three. Fortunately, that’s not relevant now, since I can sincerely declare that 2018 will bring you chances to become more powerful by working hard on your psychological health . . . and to grow wealthier by cultivating your spiritual aspirations . . . and to generate more love by being wise and ethical in your quest for money and power.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What binds you?

What keeps you closed down and locked up? I urge you to ponder those questions, Pisces. Once you get useful answers, the next step will be to meditate on how you can undo the binds. Fantasize and brainstorm about the specific actions you can take to unlock and unclose yourself. This project will be excellent preparation for the opportunities that the coming months will make available to you. I’m happy to announce that 2018 will be your personal Year of Liberation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your life in the first half of 2018 will be like a psychological boot camp that’s designed to beef up your emotional intelligence. Here’s another way to visualize your oncoming adventures: They will constitute a friendly nudge from the cosmos, pushing you to be energetic and ingenious in creating the kind of partnerships you want for the rest of your long life. As you go through your interesting tests and riddles, be on the lookout for glimpses of what your daily experience could be like in five years if you begin now to deepen your commitment to love and collaboration.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll soon have a chance to glide out into the frontier. I suggest you pack your bag of tricks. Bring gifts with you, too, just in case you must curry favor in the frontiers where the rules are a bit loose. How are your improvisational instincts? Be sure they’re in top shape. How willing are you to summon spontaneity and deal with unpredictability and try impromptu experiments? I hope you’re very willing. This may sound like a lot of work, but I swear it’ll be in a good cause. If you’re well-prepared as you wander in the borderlands, you’ll score sweet secrets and magic cookies. Here’s more good news: Your explorations will position you well to take advantage of the opportunities that’ll become available throughout 2018.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): These days it’s not unusual to see male celebrities who shave their heads. Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, Seal, Tyrese Gibson, and Vin Diesel are among them. But in the 20th century, the bare-headed style was rare. One famous case was actor Yul Brynner. By age 30, he’d begun to go bald. In 1951, for his role as the King of Siam in the Broadway play *The King and I,* he decided to shave off all his hair. From then on, the naked-headed look became his trademark as he plied a successful acting career. So he capitalized on what many in his profession considered a liabili-

ty. He built his power and success by embracing an apparent disadvantage. I recommend you practice your own version of this strategy in 2018. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to begin.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Northern Hemisphere, where 88 percent of the world’s population resides, this is a quiescent time for the natural world. Less sunlight is available, and plants’ metabolisms slow down as photosynthesis diminishes. Deciduous trees lose their leaves, and even many evergreens approach dormancy. And yet in the midst of this stasis, Cancerian, you are beginning to flourish. Gradually at first, but with increasing urgency, you’re embarking on an unprecedented phase of growth. I foresee that 2018 will be your Year of Blossoming.

51 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 51 / December 21, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

of your primary missions will be to practice what you preach; to walk your talk; to be ambitious and masterful in all the ways a soulful human can and should be ambitious and masterful. Live up to your hype in the coming months, Capricorn! Do what you have promised! Stop postponing your dreams!

Fulfill the noble expectations you have for yourself!

Don’t be shy about using exclamation points to express your visions of what’s right and good and just!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you’ve had an unfulfilled curiosity about genealogy or your ancestors or the riddles of your past, 2018 will be a favorable time to investigate. Out-of-touch relatives will be easier to locate than usual. Lost heirlooms, too. You may be able to track down and make use of a neglected legacy. Even family secrets could leak into view — both the awkward and the charming kinds. If you think you have everything figured out about the people you grew up with and the history of where you came from, you’re in for surprises.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Most of us regard our ring fingers as the least important of our digits. What are they good for? Is there any activity for which they’re useful?

But our ancestors had a stronger relationship with their fourth fingers. There was a folk belief that a special vein connected the fourth finger on the left hand directly to the heart. That’s why a tradition arose around the wedding ring being worn there. It may have also been a reason why pharmacists regarded their fourth fingers as having an aptitude for discerning useful blends of herbs. I bring this up, Virgo, because I think it’s an apt metaphor for one of 2018’s important themes: A resource you have underestimated or neglected will be especially valuable — and may even redefine your understanding of what’s truly valuable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In fairy tales, characters are often rewarded for their acts of kindness.

They may be given magical objects that serve as protection, like cloaks of invisibility or shoes that enable them to flee trouble. Or the blessings they receive may be life-enhancing, like enchanted cauldrons that provide a never-ending supply of delicious food or musical instruments that have the power to summon delightful playmates. I bring this up, Libra, because I suspect that a similar principle will be very active in your life during 2018. You’ll find it easier and more natural than usual to express kindness, empathy, and compassion. If you consistently capitalize on this predilection, life will readily provide you with the resources you need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Like all of us, you go through mediocre phases when you’re not functioning at peak efficiency. But I suspect that in 2018 you will experience fewer of these blah times. We will see a lot of you at your best. Even more than usual, you’ll be an interesting catalyst who energizes and ripens collaborative projects. You’ll demonstrate why the sweet bracing brightness needs the deep dark depths, and vice versa. You’ll help allies open doors that they can’t open by themselves. The rest of us thank you in advance!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The blunt fact is that you can’t be delivered from the old demoralizing pattern that has repeated and repeated itself — until you forgive yourself completely. For that matter, you probably can’t move on to the next chapter of your life story until you compensate yourself for at least some of the unnecessary torment you’ve inflicted on yourself. Now here’s the good news: 2018 will be an excellent time to accomplish these healings.

ou wanna hit this?”

“This” was a super sizer bomber: a blunt-sized joint with a line of rosin running through, turbo charged with the addition of some kief.

I stared through the thick haze of smoke and thought about the question for an uncharacteristically long period.

It wasn’t that I was too high, rather that I had utterly maxed out my interest in all things cannabis—talking about it, looking at it, smelling it and even consuming it.

On Dec. 8 and 9, I was in Santa Rosa, Calif. to attend my first Emerald Cup, a two-day festival celebrating Northern California cannabis growers. I had been told this was a must-attend event, but scheduling had not allowed the opportunity in past years.

The Cup is, as its name suggests, a cannabis products competition. I’m missing the gene that moves me to care about awards for cannabis, so I don’t have any insight as to who won what, but congratulations to all.

I can tell you I have never in my life seen so many entries for such a Cup, displayed with museum-quality care in multiple lighted cases, showcasing row upon row of samples. I stopped taking pictures after the first three.

Both days had sold out, and I was told there were 30,000 people. If you don’t do well with crowds while high, this isn’t the place for you.

It was held at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds, a sprawling multiacre space with numerous airport hangar-sized structures, recently used to house big animals after the devastation of October’s NorCal wildfires. The immediate area surrounding the fairgrounds was spared, but drive a mile in nearly any direction to find blackened piles of rubble where people once lived.

The contrast is sobering.

The buildings housing the Cup were broken down into categories of interest (nonprofits, science, grow equipment, etc.) There was a robust schedule of speakers as well, all of which led to a serious case of FOMO. This area was open to all attendees, and I could have

spent both days there easily.

But I did not, because as I’ve written here, I recently acquired my California medical marijuana card, allowing me access to the much desired “215 area,” featuring booths providing cannabis and consumption.

No matter how I describe this, you’ll think I’m exaggerating because I was high. Yes, I was high—but I have pictures to back up my claims that this was the largest amount of consumption, products and the opportunities to “donate” for products I have ever seen, anywhere.

Several buildings filled with hundreds of booths, makeshift to baller, packed out in seemingly never-ending rows. Everything sampled was available for a “suggested donation,” including concentrates for as low as $10 a gram and flower for $100 per ounce, with “deep discounts for quantity.” Seed companies had gallon-size jars of the flower the seeds had produced. Smoke a bowl of a strain, and if you like it, buy the seeds. It’s the most perfect model of farm to tabletop vaporizer commerce ever. Some opted to forgo the jars entirely, and had 10 to 15 pounds of various flower spread out in open turkey bags. My nose had a coating of resin by the end of each day.

I spoke with grower alliances—primarily sun-grown—who all expressed the concerns their Oregon counterparts share: continuing to be able to work with patients, over-reaching regulation, and fear of “Big Canna” destroying the craft cannabis industry.

I smoked a few pre-rolls that sucked, tried strains exclusive to California and sampled two types of Frenchy Canolli hash products. If Yoda were a French hash maker, he would be this man. It was the finest hash I’ve ever smoked.

It was reassuring to be among so many cannabis fans and producers, underscoring that no matter what Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his tiny-handed, dementia-ridden overlord may threaten, the cannabis industry is not retreating back into the shadows.

Never again.
