Best Political SHOWING UP FOR RACIAL JUSTICE IN CENTRAL OREGON, (8/10/16) Dear Source Weekly, Huge thanks for including resources for your white readers interested in racial justice in the July 13th issue.

Black Lives Matter doesn’t mean other lives don’t. Like people who say ‘Save the Rainforests’ aren’t saying ‘Screw all other types of forests.’

I have never been stopped by the police and thrown in a psych ward for 8 days for driving a car that is “too nice” for me to be driving. I’ve never been followed around a store by security simply because of the color of my skin. I don’t have to sit my son down and talk to him about how to stay alive around people who hate him for no reason other than fear and ignorance. To deny the truth of these experiences because they make me uncomfortable would be to place my comfort above the safety of others, and I cannot do that.

A ProPublica report found that from 2010 to 2012, black men between the ages of 15 and 19 were killed by police at a rate of 31.17 per million, while white men in the same age range were killed at a rate of 1.47 per million. The #BlackLivesMatter movement arose because of these statistics, which have been illustrated by the deaths of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Freddie Gray, Mike Brown, Eric Garner—the list goes on and on.

It is high time we white folk take off the boot of racism (citizenshipandsocialjustice. com/curriculum-for-white-americans-toeducate-themselves-on-race-and-racism).

Congratulations to the Source for highlighting the increasing problems created by the tourism industry in Central Oregon.

Several weeks ago on a Friday afternoon, I was driving into Bend on Hwy 20 from the west. When I got near Empire Ave. the traffic was backed up over a quarter of a mile. “A traffic accident” I thought, but there were no signs of a problem. A few weeks later, again on a Friday, the scenario was repeated.

Then, it struck me, this congestion was the result of tourists arriving for the weekend.

In moderation, tourism is probably good for Bend. But it is now out of control and I believe things will only get worse. Why? We have numerous vested businesses interests, including hotels, destination resorts, vacation rentals, restaurants, a ski resort, and tour agencies, who want increasing numbers of people. They hire agencies like Visit Bend to advertise for more tourists and will never be satisfied unless the numbers continue to increase. (Interestingly, individuals’ or organizations’ promotion of their own self-interest is know as “Tragedy of the Commons” because it usually results in a deterioration of a public environment.)

According to the article in the Source, we average 20,000 tourists per day.

The next step will be for various groups and government agencies to attempt to mitigate the impact on natural areas, probably by limiting the numbers of visits by requiring some form of registration. This is already being done to control visits to Lava Butte and parts of Shevlin Park. The days of hopping in the car with the kids for spontaneous trips to a river site or park will eventually end. Even with this attempt at control, some recreation sites will probably resemble “Coney Island.”

Tourism creates a tremendous negative impacts on our local environment. At the very time we are trying to find ways to limit CO2 emissions, the area is being flooded with thousands of tourist cars. We are told this is good for the economy. A Bulletin article stated that the Tourism/Hospitality industries account for some of the lowest wages in the area. What percentage of the individuals who work for the Tourism/ Hospitality industries can afford a house, or apartment in Bend? It is the owners of the resorts and restaurants who are making the money.

The title of your article should have been “Paradise Lost.”

VOTE THIS WAY, (7/20/16) As a native Oregonian, I’ve always known that the Bend community was a dynamic, sun-filled recreational community as well as a growing economic environment. On a recent vacation, we explored the Lava Cave, walked the Lava Cast Forest loop, floated the river and played golf at nine different courses. We were blown away by the growth, delighted by the La Pine Rodeo and attended the best concert ever by Grammy award artists, Lonestar.

Now we’re thinking about buying a second home in the Bend area, but we won’t know until November whether that’s a good idea or not. We’re old enough to not need jobs but wise enough to know we want to live among people who pay attention to what’s best for their community.

While in the area we learned that Deschutes County has the opportunity to vote for change in their troubled Sheriff ’s Department. It’s apparently the first time in two decades that the incumbent hasn’t been alone on the ballot, appointed by his predecessor regardless of his nefarious ties. We also heard about tax Initiative 28, which basically amounts to a disguised sales tax. We hope voters pay attention to their opportunity to vote against higher taxes and for new leadership in the Sheriff ’s department. Then we’ll decide whether or not to re-locate.

—Christie Gorsline

LETTER OF THE YEAR Cheers Christie! Now that the “disguised sales tax” called M97 has been shot down, perhaps you’ll regale our fair city with your presence at least six months of the year? Gosh, we can’t wait to have you. In leiu of the “sales tax” you might have paid during visits, we will gladly accept your property taxes all year instead. —Nicole Vulcan, Editor E.J. Pettinger’s

Hey, look everyone. . . it’s the New Year’s Coyote.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 52 / December 29, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

TOURISM, (8/17/16)

In 2000, we purchased a house at 241 SE Airpark Dr. in Bend. We were aware we were on septic and had a metal septic tank.

We were also aware that the city of Bend had recently installed a sewer line down the private airstrip behind our house with the intent for residents along the airstrip to eventually hook up to sewer. We figured we would hook up to that line if and when our system failed. Our system never failed, we never had a problem with our septic tank or drain field.

In April 2016, we put our house on the market. We could sell our house at a good profit and not be required to pay Capital Gains due to our ages. We were blindsided when we were made aware of Oregon’s “300 Foot Rule.” Since we purchased our home, Hollow Pines subdivision had been built and had brought in a sewer line to within 300 feet of our property line. The city no longer allowed us to hook up to the line in the airstrip since it was a pressurized line.

We were never informed of this change in thought by the city. We were required to hook up to the line in the street...200-ft. and uphill from our home. Since we were downhill from the sewer, we had to purchase a pump and tank. We had to pay nearly $10,000 to the city for permits, including a System Development Fee of $4745.47!

We were required to tear up our deck to trench from our backyard to the street. We were required to dig a seven-foot deep-hole for the sump and pump. This procedure took twice as long as expected. We received a rough permit on the sewer line, filled the trench and then were informed a code had changed and we needed to dig the trench again to install a vent line. We also were told we didn’t need to repave the entire width of the road since it wasn’t in very good condition, then after the project was completed, the city changed their mind and required the paving at an additional cost of $3,000.

It is obvious that the city of Bend has no plan developed for people caught in similar situations. We were not told complete details about how to proceed. We were not told of a reimbursement district program offered by the city until we accidently heard about it and asked. The purpose of this program is so that others in the neighborhood would not benefit from our expense.

We were told there was a program, but the process needed to be started before construction began...There is no plan in place to help citizens pay for the required installation. For some this would be a tremendous financial burden making it impossible for them to sell their homes.

This was not a terrible burden for us, but certainly not how we planned to spend $60,000 from the sale of our home. That is correct—$60,000!

“This is Not Your Land” Jan 7, 2016 and “Malheur Verdict: A Slap in the Face to Law and Order” Nov 2, 2106 January brought the occupiers; November brought their stunning acquittal. With the incoming administration, expect to see more showdowns over federal lands.

“Heritage Square—the dream lives on” Mar 9, 2016 The proposed project would transform a current downtown parking lot into a green space. Some current city councilors indicate mixed feelings about the square concept, with budgetary concerns being the main detractor.

“Underage Drinking Problem” Mar 16, 2016 Deschutes County has a higher rate of underage drinking than any other county in Oregon. Beer Town USA, indeed…

“Mirror Pond Dam” Jun 22, 2016 Free the river? Dredge the pond?

Without a consensus about what to do with Mirror Pond, we’ll continue to be stuck in the muck.

“Funding for Affordable Housing: A Step in the Right Direction” Jul 27, 2016 Expect lots more on this issue in the year to come.

“It’s Time to Retire the Wild West Governance Model in Bend” Aug 17, 2016 Bend’s City Charter offers city councilors $200 a month and leaves it to fellow councilors to decide who becomes mayor. That needs to change, for the benefit of us all.

“Septic-to-Sewer Transition Shouldn’t Bankrupt Some of Our Most Vulnerable Bend Residents” Nov 16, 2106 Homeowners are facing serious losses in the wake of the new sewer lines going into SE Bend, which state law mandates homeowners to connect to if they’re within 300 feet. Dec 21, the Bend City Council voted to create the SE Bend Septic to Sewer Advisory Committee to tackle the issue. SW

“The biggest direct impact we’re seeing here and across the West is reduction of snowpack, and that’s only going to get worse as time goes on,” said Nobel Laureate David Peterson, who shares the 2007 Nobel Prize for his contributions on climate change.

April January “Anarchy in Eastern Oregon – Don’t Tread on Me” Brian Jennings, Sherron Lumley and Corrine Boyer “A group of armed men occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge outside of Burns, Oregon, bears testimony to long-running anti-government sentiment held by its members.”

In the story, occupier Ammon Bundy vowed to stay for “years” if need be, to see Harney County residents Dwight and Steve Hammond released from prison for arson on federal lands. Ultimately though, Bundy and his team were acquitted for their role in the standoff.

“Freeing the Klamath River: Four dams to come down by 2020” Sherron Lumley The Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement made history April 6, with diverse groups and some former enemies signing an accord for the removal of four dams on the Klamath River.

July “Bicycle Re-Source of Bend Receives $2,000 Grant: Funding will bring more bikes to more people who need them” M.W. Hill Last year, Bicycle Re-Source of Bend (BRoB) refurbished and donated 463 bicycles to people who needed them in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties. This year, they may be able to increase that number, thanks to a $2,000 grant from Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation (CCUIF).

Bend’s affordable housing crisis was no longer a threat; it was a reality.

most significant and historic changes in the city of Bend.

October “Stuck in the Muck: Mirror Pond’s owners ask DEQ to step in against the city” Nicole Vulcan A local investor group, Mirror Pond Solutions, called for the City of Bend to take more action to address the problem of sediment buildup in Mirror Pond. The City of Bend, meanwhile, called into question the methods by which that group is basing its claims.

August “When Things Go Terribly Wrong: The man accused of killing Kaylee Sawyet studied criminology and is married to a cop. So what prompted his alleged crime spree?”

Brian Jennings As friends and family of 23-year old Kaylee Sawyer try to make sense of her death, allegedly by 31-year-old Central Oregon Community College security guard Edwin Lara, a forensic psychologist said many questions may never be fully answered.

February “Lawsuits filed by environmental groups against the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and multiple Central Oregon water districts, including the Central Oregon Irrigation District (COID), demand changes to the way the Deschutes River’s water is managed,” Jennings’ story detailed. Questions raised included the accountability of senior water rights holders, improvements in antiquated water rights systems and more…all issues that continue today… even after the settlement of the Oregon spotted frog lawsuit.

during the summer season in Bend, it’s becoming more and more prevalent.

As sun-seeking tourists and residents alike flood the river with inflatable fiestas, garbage accumulated in their wake.

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

Brian Jennings In Bend’s Old Farm District, owners of some older established homes got some harsh news from the City of Bend. For many of them, it could cost tens of thousands of dollars per household as they are forced to connect to the city’s sewer system.

September “It’s (Almost) Official: Bend becomes a university town” Brian Jennings Some have lamented the change, but with the opening of the new buildings at Bend’s Century Drive and Chandler, an academic dream that began 30 years ago is becoming a reality. September marked the grand opening of the four-year OSU-Cascades campus—an expansion that represents one of the

“Problems on the Plaza: Bend’s downtown is a gathering place for the city—but business owners, officials and loitering youth all differ on how the area should be used.” Brian Jennings According to Bend Police, drug dealers routinely prey upon the homeless population in downtown’s Mirror Pond plaza.While optimistic about shortterm solutions underway, many feel a longer-term vision for the economic health of downtown Bend is sorely needed—and the only ultimate answer to the behavior of loitering transients in the area.

Nina de la Tierra: Child of the Earth The mystery of the Jerusalem Cricket (2009) Jim Anderson

OLD ST. FRANCIS SCHOOL

Ah, the Jerusalem Cricket…the definition of a love/hate relationship.

“Nina de la Tierra” is a Natural World article first published in August 2009, written by our much-loved naturalist Jim Anderson. Anderson first rolled into Bend in 1951 and is a vast source of knowledge on animals and creepy crawlers in Central Oregon. The article gives an explanation to confused readers about what the scary “child’s faced” bug is that they found. The Jerusalem Cricket (spoiler: it’s not really a cricket) is a giant fascination for many Internet goers, since the article is viewed upwards of 500 times a week! Apparently people like creepy bugs more than anything else...

Locally-based novel focuses lens on sex trafficking in Central Oregon (2016) Alyce Pearce Fresh off of David Cobb being arrested locally for sex trafficking in April, “Sex, Lies & Snapchat” begins with an intro to author Chris Stolar’s book, “The Black Lens,” that focuses on sex slavery, exploitation and human trafficking with Central Oregon as a backdrop. Pearce interviews advocacy groups and experts to shed light on human trafficking as a local issue.

Anderson argues against using poison to kill rodents, as he warns that fleas that live on the rats (that could be carrying the bubonic plague) will search for a new host once the animal is dead and may move to the humans living in the area. This article gets quite a few hits each year as we assume people search, “How to get rid of pack rats?” However, it is clear from the comments that many readers disagree with Anderson’s suggestions.

Dear Tenant, You Must Vacate the Premises Many fear homelessness awaits them (2016) Sherron Lumley This article was written this past May after 44 residents of the Fireside Lodge Condominiums on Newport Avenue in Bend were notified from new owners that they would have to vacate the premises. “Dear Tenant” shed light on the affordable housing crisis Bend is facing and gave a human face to this issue.

The Source’s fave feature stories of 2016

By Brian Jennings In covering feature stories, my goal is to find unique content that deviates from the standard approach. One thing that differentiates me from other media outlets is that I like to cover stories "first hand," talking to people face to face. I find it provides a deeper and richer experience that enables me to tell a better story. In each of the stories listed below, that personal connection was part of what made them stand out for me in 2016.

Finding Ancient Life in Eastern Oregon The fact that this site, an ancient archaeological site in Eastern Oregon about 30 miles from Burns, could contain the oldest evidence of mankind in the Western Hemisphere is mind-boggling. Holding a tool found on the site made by man 16,000 years ago was a special moment for me.

Who made it? What was that person like? What was their life like?

Archaeologist Scott Thomas from the Bureau of Land Management was a treasure trove of knowledge for this story, regaling us with tales of ancient volcanic eruptions from Mount St. Helens that served as a timeline to determine the age of life of the ancient man who roamed the rugged landscape.

Watching Wolves Repopulate Oregon Years ago I was fishing Crane Prairie Reservoir. I was traveling back past Wickiup Reservoir when two large black dogs ran across the road. They were about 100 yards in front of me with one in the lead and the other just a step behind. My instinct was these weren’t dogs.

These were wolves, and I was witnessing a scene that most would not believe. I reported the incident to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and biologists just smiled at me and basically told me I was crazy.

Later, I got a call from a biologist who told me that perhaps I wasn’t crazy after all.

That was about a decade before wolves were officially observed and documented moving across the Snake River into Oregon. At any rate, one of my favorite stories of 2016 was documenting the wanderings of a wolf known as OR-25.

What amazed me was a part of

his journey—from the Mt. Jefferson area to an area just north of Klamath Falls—took only a few days. They can range far and wide quickly! Our story entitled "Lone Wolf Walking" was a fun one to write. It’s an intriguing story and one the Source Weekly will continue to follow.

The Fishwatcher Why would a former archaeologist and scholar spend the past 20 years of his life watching fish from May to early December? Watching fish?! We had to ask the man himself.

Lee Spencer is 65 years old. During the winter months he packs up and heads south to watch over his aging mother in New Mexico. When spring beckons he returns to Oregon where he lives in a small trailer in the woods next to Southern Oregon’s Steamboat Creek, watching native steelhead returning to their home waters.

Lee is there to protect them from poachers. The Steamboat basin is a major tributary to the North Umpqua River, considered one of the last remaining hotbeds for wild steelhead in Oregon. Each summer thousands of these fish return and pool next to Lee’s trailer, waiting for cooler rains so they can swim upriver and spawn. The cycle has been ongoing for thousands of years.

The pool where Lee watches and protects these creatures is called the ‘dynamite hole’ because poachers once used dynamite to stun and kill the fish by the thousands. Not now—thanks, in part, to Lee’s efforts. A catch-andrelease fisherman, Lee happened to mention a spot he had just discovered and was excited to try. As a fisherman, I knew better than to ask where his secret place was...

Extraordinary Women In 2016 it was my honor to meet four women making Central Oregon a better place. In May, several of us at the Source Weekly met to select our “Woman of the Year.” I had met Alice Elshoff last January when she helped organize a rally at Crow’s Feet Commons in downtown Bend, labeled “Grannies against Bullies.” It was a protest against the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Elshoff was a teacher, a conservationist, and had even lived on the refuge with her husband working to restore and protect it. I nominated Alice Elshoff for the Woman of the Year and the team at the Source Weekly heartily agreed.

Another extraordinary woman I met was Sally Russell. Russell was recently re-elected to her position on the Bend City Council and serves as mayor pro-tem. She hopes to be mayor.

Meanwhile, if the Source Weekly had a “Conservationist of the Year” award, I would suggest two women.

Gail Snyder and Kim Brannock have worked tirelessly to protect the upper Deschutes River which has deteriorated into a sad state.

Each winter, water flows are cut back from Wickiup Dam and others to store water for the following irrigation season. As a result of the changes in flow, thousands of fish die

and the Oregon spotted frog’s habitat is compromised. We need water for agriculture, but these two women have drawn attention to the need to conserve water at the irrigation level for the sake of the river and its wildlife.

Hundreds of miles of outdated water canals are leaking precious water, and irrigation practices could be updated to avoid "flood irrigation," and wasteful seepage.

Modern updates such as piping the canals will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but through the work of these two women and others there is progress. The spotted frog and fish—and all of us—will be the beneficiaries of their ongoing work. SW

These on your Record Player SOUND Pop The Sources’ top 10 albums of 2016

By Alan Sculley

7

Rolling Stones “Blue & Lonesome” Fiftyplus years ago, the Stones helped introduce the pop world to blues music by covering some of their favorite blues songs. Now the Stones have made their first true blues album, and this time, they bring a passion and authenticity to these covers that only talent and years of exploring and experience can produce.

8

Kanye West “Life of Pablo” West’s recent albums have seemed a bit too convoluted. “Life Of Pablo” remains ambitious, but its songs are more sharply drawn, a little more economical in their production—but still creative and unpredictable. A couple of tracks fall flat, but “Life of Pablo” is a step in the right direction for the seemingly tortured, but undeniably creative West.

9

Radiohead “A Moon Shaped Pool” With this album, Radiohead has made one of its prettiest, most soothing albums, but one whose musical layers allow the songs to grow more potent with additional plays. By Radiohead standards, “A Moon Shaped Pool” might qualify as an easy listen, but it’s also unique and bold—qualities we’ve come to expect from Radiohead.

A couple of them, even as death approached, managed to make the Sources’ top albums of 2016 list.

Beyonce “Lemonade” No artist made more of a stir in 2016 than Beyonce. “Lemonade”— with its additional video content—had a lot to say about resilience, self-pride and self-determination, echoing such themes in songs like “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” “Daddy Lessons” and “Freedom.” The music is as strong and focused as the lyrics; “Lemonade” contains some ofBeyonce’s most addictive songs yet.

David Bowie “Blackstar” An innovator right until the end, “Blackstar” is tough to categorize, but easy to enjoy. Its songs feel almost free form, their skittering rhythms pushing them through moments that range from striking beauty to gritty dissonance. Somehow it all coalesces into a focused and forceful album.

The often-cryptic lyrics make several allusions to Bowie’s impending death. In some ways, “Blackstar” mirrors its creator—enigmatic, shape-shifting, yet emotionally resonant and powerful all at the same time.

Car Seat Headrest “Teens of Denial” At age 23, Will Toledo has now released 13 albums under the Car Seat Headrest moniker, and with “Teens of Denial” he’s made one of the year’s best indie rock albums. Stocked with concise rockers and a trio of epic tracks, “Teens of Denial” is a multi-faceted, but also a frequently-bracing work.

Chance The Rapper “Coloring Book” This third mixtape from the Chicago native shines with its musical range and ambition, bending hip-hop boundaries with songs that incorporate elements of jazz (“All We Got”), New Orleans reverie (“Blessings”), gospel (“How Great”) and more.

Drive-By Truckers: “American Band” No album this year captured the political/social climate of the country better than “American Band.” Frequently angry and always thought provoking, the Truckers address racial tensions and hostilities between police and minorities, the rise of the National Rifle Association and much more on a set of taut mid-tempo tracks that are as musically powerful as the lyrics.

Dawes “We’re All Gonna Die” On their fifth album, Dawes expands their sound while retaining their country-pop core. The group brings an electronic vibe to “One Of Us” and “When The Tequila Runs Out.” At the other end of the spectrum, the delightful “As If By

13

Design” feels jazzy with its freewheeling piano fills and horns. The new elements may challenge long-time fans, but stick with this album and its quality and inventiveness really shine.

Cohen “You Want It Darker” 10 Leonard Sounding like he knew “You Want

It Darker” would be his final album, Cohen is his usual articulate and poetic self as he frequently ponders the regrets of life and relationships within songs that balance the lyrics with considerable beauty. The famously dour Cohen also gets in a last laugh with the zinger of an album title. In all seriousness, though, our world has become a bit darker with the loss of this masterful songwriter. SW

Honorable Mentions Albums of 2016 (in no particular order)

Bob Mould: “Patch The Sky” Green Day: “Revolution Radio” Ty Segall: “Emotional Mugger” Against Me!: “Shape Shift With Me” Lucy Dacus: “No Burden” Bonnie Raitt: “Dig In Deep” Sturgill Simpson: “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth” Mudcrutch: “Mudcrutch 2” Robbie Fulks: “Upland Stories” Miranda Lambert: “The Weight of These Wings”

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 52 / December 29, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The year in music seems likely to be remembered for its major losses. This was a year when we lost artists who were not merely stars, but icons whose albums helped shape entire genres of music.

A tribute to the musicians we loved and lost over the past year

By Jared Rasic Mark Marek Photography

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / December 29, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Hardest Losses

Throughout 2016, the grim reaper was busy taking some of our most beloved icons. While this section focuses on music, it’s hard not to pour one out for John Glenn, Gene Wilder, Anton Yelchin, Garry Marshall, Muhammad Ali, Garry Shandling, Larry Drake, Harper Lee, Alan Rickman, Carrie Fisher and dozens of others.

Plus these people, of course...

David Bowie Jan 8, 1947 - Jan 10, 2016

Natalie Cole Feb 6, 1960 - Dec 31, 2015

What makes the loss of David Bowie so profound isn’t just that fact that he’d been a musical icon for five decades, it’s that he left the world a precious gift just before his passing. His 25th album, “Blackstar,” came out on Bowie’s 69th birthday, just two days before his death. He knew he was dying of liver cancer, so every song on the record is a bittersweet goodbye to this planet.

Cole’s death on New Year’s Eve should have given us a sign that this would be a rough year. Her work in the 1970s positioned her to be one of the largest R&B singers in history, only for her to take a step out of the limelight as she battled drug addiction. Her re-emergence in the 1980s with “Unforgettable... with Love” is one of the greatest stories of climbing back to the top in American music history. No one has ever had or will ever have a voice quite like hers.

Prince Jun 7, 1958 - Apr 21, 2016 Prince was a musical innovator in ways that I’m not sure we’ll even fully comprehend for several more decades.

His stage presence, his enigmatic air of mystery and his groundbreaking work in funk, pop, R&B and pop changed the musical landscape forever.

There are apparently hundreds upon hundreds of unreleased songs in Prince’s vault, so expect to be hearing from The Kid again very soon.

Leonard Cohen Sep 21, 1934 - Nov 7, 2016 Cohen was a singer, songwriter, poet, painter and novelist. His work was political, philosophical, sexual and deeply personal, and the fact that he let us in to his brilliant mind makes us better for having heard him. While his all-time classic “Hallelujah” might be what he was best known for, it’s only the tip of his beautiful iceberg.

Lemmy Kilmister Dec 24, 1945 - Dec 28, 2015 Even though we knew it was coming, Lemmy’s death still seemed like a shock. It always seemed like that were the world to be scorched in nuclear fire, all that would remain were the roaches and Lemmy. His work with Motörhead was one of the cornerstones of mid-’70s metal.

Sharon Jones May 4, 1956 - Nov 18, 2016 Sharon Jones didn’t release her first record until she was 40, giving everyone who has given up on their dreams a shot in the arm of hope. Her work with the Dap-Kings is some of the finest soul and funk music that’s been recorded in my lifetime. We didn’t get enough time with her, but the fact that we got to discover her at all is something of a miracle. Say hi to Etta for us, Sharon.

George Michael Jun 25, 1963 - Dec 25, 2016 Really, 2016?! We had to go out with this one on Christmas Day? Whether you loved him in Wham! or more for his solo stuff, this is yet another hard loss for 2016.

There’s only so much room, but even more words could (and should) be written about Greg Lake, Pete Burns, Christina Grimmie, Joey Feek, Vanity, Glenn Frey, Craig Strickland, Leon Russell, John Berry, Merle Haggard, Phife Dawg, Frank Sinatra Jr., Maurice White, Paul Kantner, Dale Griffin, Mose Allison and so many more. They left their mark and we are left with their legacy.

A look back at the best theatre in Central Oregon in 2016

By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / December 29, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

20

Over the past year more theatre was produced in Central Oregon than ever before, and a wide majority of those productions were performed for sold out houses. With all of the productions that happened last year, we asked some of the myriad theatre folk in the region what their favorite shows across 2016 were. The answers were as varied as the productions themselves.

Scott Schultz, Managing Director of Lonely Fish Productions: (Cascade Theatrical Company’s) "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike!" The performances were honest and hilarious without being over the top. The show’s pacing was perfect as well. The set and costumes complemented the show instead of taking away from it.

Derek Sitter, Owner/Artistic Director of Volcanic Theatre Pub: Mamet’s "American Buffalo." It was, without a doubt, the most challenging, fun, difficult, and exhilarating theatrical experience I’ve had in 30+ years in theatre. Tackling the quintessential "Mamet Speak" with the cast proved much more challenging than previous Mamet plays. The circumstances, stakes, characters and the overwhelming emotion required pushed us to places none of us had been before.

We’re all better actors and people because of it.

Ray Solley, Executive Director of the Tower Theatre: "A Chorus Line" at the Tower. The Tower Theatre Foundation’s annual musical sets the tone for our entire season. The September showcase of the region’s top musicians, actors, singers and dancers gives us yet more reasons why it’s so great living here.

And those of us behind the scenes love sold out houses of laughing and crying audiences. In a divisive election season, Shore Thing Productions’ "A

Chorus Line," directed by Michael Heaton, reminded us of the power and strength in working together.

Clinton Clark, Artistic Director at Dionysus Presents: CTC’s "Dog Sees God." Rarely has a production moved me so effectively. It had the perfect amount of everything that makes me love theatre.

Cricket Daniel, Playwright: The World Premiere of "I Shot Jennifer Lopez," of course! And the reprisal of the "The Night Before The Night Before Christmas" at the Tower Theatre! My plays are always the highlight of my year. Seeing my words come to life on stage—there is nothing that compares.

Sandy Klein, Managing Director of 2nd Street Theater: I think [2nd Street’s] "Young Frankenstein the Musical" was the top theater event I "saw." From the set to the acting, to the dedication from the cast, to the visuals and knowing that everyone in that cast poured their souls into the production to make it what it was. It was pretty epic and one that I am extremely proud of.

JoEllen Ussery, Founder of Lurking Squirrel Productions: I’ve never seen a show have an impact on an audience as I saw [Lurking Squirrel’s] "Hedwig and the Angry

Inch" have. Both Jake (Woodmansee) and I would hold audience members as they wept each night after each performance. I’ve never experienced anything like it.

David and Mallory DaCosta, Thoroughly Modern Productions: For me personally, the best event I saw this year was [Opera Bend’s] "Maelstrom, the Zombie Opera." Not being a fan of Opera per se I was thoroughly entertained. It was a creative treat all around. Honest performances.

Great singing.

Ed Victor, Executive Director at Cascades Theatrical Company: "Dog Sees God" at CTC. It triumphantly brought together a group of actors, both experienced and beginners, and delved into the emotions of timely social issues that left me crying at the end.” SW (Full Disclosure: I directed the play “Dog Sees God,” but vow I paid no financial remunerations to those who chose it as their favorite theater piece of 2016.)

ARTWATCH: BEAUTY FOR THE BEASTS The C.O. artists of note in 2016 If you didn’t find a way to support your local artists in 2016, there’s still time to do so in 2017. Here’s where to start.

Flor and Fawn

ual art to a very Bend level, painting with what Central Oregon does best: beer. Eland has a long history of using alternative mediums, such as coffee, but when she moved to Bend, the transition to ale art was natural. Eland teaches Sip’n’Dip classes at her studio in The Workhouse, where she invites participants to “Come drink and paint with me!”

Katie Daisy’s eclectic mix of acrylic and watercolor naturalist pieces can be found hanging in the Tin Pan Alley Art Collection, around The Workhouse, and all over coffee shops and boutiques around town. Daisy’s “How to Be a Wildflower” art book was put on the New York Times Best Seller list early this year. The book is mean to be a “field guide that celebrates self-discovery through encounters with the natural world.”

2016's Best Books

by Genre

By Tom Beans, Dudley's BookShop Cafe

23 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 52 / December 29, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

When it comes to choosing some of the best reads of 2016, we knew no one would be more well-read than Tom Beans, owner of Dudley’s BookShop Cafe in downtown Bend.

These may not be the critics’ picks for best books of the year, but they certainly were his favorites.

Fiction “To The Bright Edge Of The World”

By Eowyn Ivey A beautifully written tale of Alaskan exploration in the late 1800s. Colonel Allen Foster leads an expedition into the Wolverine River Valley, leaving his wife Sophie behind to suffer the Victorian-era ideals placed on her. Infused with Native American mythology and creatively told through the couple’s letters to each other, this is a mustread follow up to Ivey’s Pulitzer-nominated novel "The Snow Child."

Central Oregon Interest: “Bend, Oregon Daycations”

By Kim Cooper Findling

“Dark Matter”

By Blake Crouch Jason Dessen is dropped in a multiverse and just wants to go home. The only thing standing in his way? Other (very angry) versions of himself. A mind-bending page-turner.

“Summerlong” By Peter Beagle Beagle’s lyrical brand of fantasy explores the myth of Persephone and Hades set in modern day Puget Sound.

Absolutely wonderful.

With 19 daytrips within two hours of Bend, this book is perfectly planned with outdoor activities, natural curiosities, food stops and more. These places are the reasons we live here. It’s OK to be a tourist for a day, we won’t tell...

History

“The Nature of Bend”

By LeeAnn Kriegh

You know the outcome, but it doesn’t diminish Cozzens’ even-handed account telling both sides of the story in intimate, heartbreaking detail. The most important recounting of the wars and the people that fought them since “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.”

The only guidebook devoted solely to the plants and animals of Central Oregon. A no-brainer addition to the bookshelves and backpacks of all locals.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy “Sleeping Giants”

By Sylvain Neuvel Giant robot pieces found scattered across the globe and no idea where they came from or what they’re for? Yes, please. Told through dossiers and interviews, this is sci-fi at its most fun. The sequel hits shelves this April.

“The Earth Is Weeping: The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for The American West” By Peter Cozzens

Biography/ Memoir “Temperance Creek”

By Pamela Royes Following a man she barely knows, Royes trades in classes at U of O for the life of a sheepherder in Hells Canyon country during the early 1970s. Her descriptions of a vanishing way of life and the beauty of Eastern Oregon are as good as anything found in the nature/outdoor classics of the last 40 years. SW

LITTLE BITES

Bend Soup Company

Sydney Goodman

A Broken Angel Angela Moore tried the vegan food cart and came away astonishingly impressed. “It’s healthy, it’s quick and it’s right downtown. These meals will fill you up without making you sluggish. Hmmm, a plate full of vegetables.

Who’d a thunk? Try the Biscuits and Wild Mushroom Gravy and you’ll thank me later.”

(Left) Bangarang Chef Dave Bodi serves his pork belly with black rice dish. (Top Right) Bend Soup Company features tasty dishes seasonally. (Bottom Right) Himalayan Bites prepares beautiful, simple and nutritious food.

So many new food carts opened up in the C.O. over the last year we could hardly keep up. We missed some and some of the ones we tried might not have even been new; just new to us. But we did our best! And we look forward to ordering from more in 2017!

The Rogue Chef We still haven’t had a chance to try their mouth-watering (sounding) Reuben, but the Rogue Chef ’s Everything Burger was one of the two best cheeseburgers we had all year. The burger was “slathered in melted pepper jack, sautéed Maker’s Mark onions, an amazing peppercorn aioli, lettuce, tomato, onion, thick-cut bacon and topped with a perfectly-fried egg.

Every single bite was delicious, with the creamy yolk tying everything together and the tender, caramelized and peppery bacon genuinely being some of the best bacon ever.

Curb B Q This was the other best burger we tried in 2016. The jalapeno cheeseburger was massive and melt-inyour-mouth delicious, but it was also the gateway drug for their brisket grilled cheese sandwich. “Packed with smoked brisket, melted jack and American cheese, dripping in barbecue sauce and imprisoned by fresh, grilled sourdough, the sandwich was even better than it looked. The brisket was so tender that it fell apart in my mouth and the BBQ sauce was thick and

spicy, almost like a mole but without the chocolate notes.”

Scoutpost Our illustrious editor Nicole dove into Scoutpost and had this to say about their delicious concoctions: “The clay-oven baked breads are paired with locally-sourced, pasture-raised meats.

The plentiful sauces that accompany each sandwich are also a mashup; the crispy roast pork shoulder sandwich is topped with cashew romesco and pickled red onion, while the chicken version comes with pickled fennel slaw and poblano pepper harissa. Harissa, as you might know, is a delectable sauce from North Africa combining peppers, herbs and oil.” Yum all over again.

EMW Fusion Nicole tried their Korean-style pancake/sandwich hybrid and had this to say: “Inside is a choice of beef, pork, chicken or black beans with cabbage and crema. There’s also a cheese pando with mozzarella, a PB&J with chunky peanut butter and seasonal berry jam, or the Hotteok-style pando made with walnuts, pepitas and cinnamon.”

Himalayan Bites Angela, always known for her love of world cuisine, absolutely loved the grub at Himalayan Bites. “They’re best known for hand-made dumplings that are stuffed with meats and veggies, then steamed until they resemble little clouds of savory goodness. Drizzled with a spicy tomato sauce, they are far too easy to eat by the dozen. Before you go, be sure to change into stretch pants.”

Bangarang Now located in The Lot, many of you know how delicious Bangarang is by this point. Since their menu is seasonal, don’t miss the Carbonara with Orchiette pasta, bacon, shallot, parm Reggiano and a damned poached egg. They are not screwing around.

Cody’s Catering and Cookshack Seriously, the ribs here are from the heavens. Thick and juicy, their ribs slide right off the bone into a welcoming and grateful gullet. Bend has a surplus of Cuban sandwiches to choose from, but it’s hard to find one better than Cody’s. The applewood smoked ham and melted Swiss combine with an aioli that’s downright obscenely delicious.

Keep in mind, due to Snowpocalypse 2016, the hours and locations of these beautiful feeders of humanity are subject to change and will downright vary. Check FB or their individual websites for up to date information.

Eat nice, you’re in Bend! SW

(Top) Immersion Brewing has delicious burgers and brews. (Bottom) Ajii be poppin, Ajii be cool.

Fresh New Eats Bend’s notable new restaurants of 2016 Central Oregon has more than its fair share of great eats, but in 2016, a handful of new places rose to the top.

Immersion Brewing took Bend’s brew pub scene to the next level with a BrewIt-Yourself experience and a menu that goes beyond normal pub food, including items such as steak and frites, ahi poke and pan-seared duck. Immersion nestle perfectly in the remodeled Box Factory; the natural wood beams and high ceilings complement the large copper brew tanks and garage door front entrance.

Washington brought the team behind Drake to Northwest Crossing this fall.

Bend residents know Drake to be a place for a seasonally rotating classic menu.

Owner Ted Swigert and Culinary Director John Gurnee’s second-born child, Washington, has its own personality though; a daily raw seafood bar and build-it-yourself salad menu. Washington’s large patio, outdoor fire pit, and “liquid therapy” menu make it a great place to lounge and dine with friends and family.

Okawa Steak House and Sushi

opened at the long-vacant Outback Steakhouse location on south Highway 97 and Reed Market. In addition, nearly six years have gone by since Shoji, the last Japanese-style teppanyaki steak house, closed.

This new Benihana-style restaurant is more of a dinner and a show than just a normal sushi meal. Prepare to sit back, watch the chef work, and eat in courses.

Ajii Bend’s newest addition to the restaurant scene, Ajii, is a unique and welcomed addition to a market dominated by pubs and breweries. Chef and Owner of 5 Fusion and James Beard Award Semifinalist, Joe Kim is no stranger to Asian cuisine. Ajii’s menu is “less fusion and more Asian” with a wide variety of ramens and rice bowls. SW

We just talked about Bend Soup Company’s Cilantro Chicken Chowder a few weeks ago, but didn’t have a chance to dive into a few of their other delectable soup creations.

Their Sanguine Tomato, Mommy’s Chicken Noodle, Dave’s Bomb Chili and the vegan Golden Autumn are all way too good to believe. There’s just not enough room to talk about how impressive BSC’s soups really are.

Collage 2 (Deschutes)

Oathbreaker (Kobold)

One could nearly fill this entire list with Deschutes releases. Really, between Hop Slice, Hopzeit, Black Butte Whiskey and everything on the pilot system, there was always some new innovation from them in ’16. But their collaboration with Portland’s Hair of the Dog seemed to come out of nowhere, taking a long list of ingredient beer and barrel types and mixing them together into something far larger than the sum of its parts.

Talking of local breweries aiming to expand in ’17, Steve Anderson—the mastermind behind Kobold’s current garage operation—has quietly been releasing some excellent bitter, heavy ales at select bars around Bend.

Oathbreaker is a Baltic porter that’s as smooth and approachable as it is eminently warming.

Hu-Tong Clan (Boneyard) No one can dare defy Boneyard’s regular lineup—and the spring launch of their Bend restaurant/taproom is guaranteed to be one of 2017’s top stories—but this collaboration with China’s Jing-A Brewing still evokes amazing memories. The mix of Pacific NW hops and spicy ginger in an imperial CDA was far more original than many people gave it credit for upon its original release. If they make another batch, run over post-haste.

The Broken Truck No. 2 (de Garde) Playing home to pFriem, Logsdon, and The Ale Apothecary, the hinterlands of Oregon are alive with new wildbeer blending and aging programs.

De Garde in Tillamook might have the most advanced program, however, evidenced by beers like these—a lambic made with a mix of three years’ worth of barrel-aged base beer. Want to know what Brettanomyces yeast can do to a drink? Welcome to Oregon’s best crash course. SW

Good Stuff, Not-So-Good Stuff The most underrated and overrated films of 2016

By Jared Rasic

Every year there are films that are wonderful, yet are completely ignored by audiences, eventually attracting a cult following several years later. On the opposite end there are movies that critics and audiences alike think are giant piles of crap. Here are a couple of films misunderstood or over-loved by audiences this year.

Underrated: The Nice Guys

Overrated: Suicide Squad

This one did well critically, but barely broke even in the box office. Russell Crowe is more engaged than he’s been in years as Jackson Healy, a leg breaker who gets pulled into a far-reaching conspiracy featuring dead porn stars, the Department of Justice and Detroit auto manufacturers. He teams up with Ryan Gosling’s private detective Holland March and the two of them become the finest buddy cop duo since the original “Lethal Weapon.” While the plot is overly convoluted and pretty forgettable, Gosling and Crowe are so good together that it’s hard not to wish for a series of movies following these characters.

Landing in the opposite camp of “The Nice Guys,” critics and audiences savaged “Suicide Squad,” yet it still made $745 million at the box office.

When I initially reviewed it, I gave the film the letter grade of “Z” because even though the film was obviously quite terrible, it’s bad in such a way that’s highly entertaining. From Jared Leto’s Juggalo Joker and Cara Delevingne’s worst archaeologist ever, to the nonsensical editing and pacing, “Suicide Squad” fails on every single level. There was a good movie inside “Suicide Squad” during filming, but post-production and reshoots turned it into a hollow and gaudy shell.

Underrated: Deepwater Horizon There’s nothing about this film that should have worked. Turning the explosion of an oil rig (and the subsequent oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico) into a disaster film should have been downright offensive. Somehow, director Peter Berg and an excellent cast led

by Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, Gina Rodriguez and John Malkovich create a respectful and powerful ticking time bomb of a film that ignores the politics of the event in order to focus on human heroics. Once the rig starts falling apart, “Deepwater Horizon” becomes one of the most intense action dramas in recent memory. The fact that this flopped and “Sully” didn’t shows that maybe Americans don’t want death in their heroic tragedies.

landing US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River is an amazing one filled with calm courage and quick thinking, but Eastwood’s film manufactures controversy where none was needed.

Tom Hanks reminded the world about his acting chops with “Captain Phillips” and telling the story of Sully in a similar fashion would have made for a much more powerful film about true American heroism. SW

Overrated: Sully I know I’m in the minority here, but so much of this film feels like Clint Eastwood yelling at the clouds about big government bureaucracies. The story of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger

Flicks that Ripped

October 21, 1956 – December 27, 2016

The Source’s top 10 movies of 2016

By Jared Rasic

Whittling down to 10 top movies of the year was hard, but my #1 never changed. These might not be the “Best” movies of the year, but they are most certainly my favorite.

From America: A 10 Morris romantic coming-of-age drama

about a 13-year old American boy falling in love for the first time while living with his dad in Germany. This movie lives and breathes hip hop in a way that almost all pop culture fails to do.

9

8

Nocturnal Animals: Jake Gyllenhall, Amy Adams and Michael Shannon own every frame of this meta-fictional shocker. It’s lurid, brutal and deeply unsettling to watch and I’m not sure I even liked the movie, but not a second of it has left me.

Arrival: Another excellent turn by Amy Adams in a science fiction sleeper about the importance of communication in an age where we constantly shout

over one another. Anyone expecting something like “Independence Day” will be disappointed, but those who get excited by ideas will rejoice.

7

Swiss Army Man: Described as the “Farting corpse movie starring Harry Potter,” it was booed out of Sundance, and yet made its way straight into my heart.

6

The Witch: When I initially reviewed this movie, I complained that the hype for “The Witch” sold it as a horror masterpiece when it really wasn’t that scary. I was wrong. On second viewing, this movie got deep into my psyche and gave me some very weird dreams.

The Lobster: On the surface this film is about crippling loneliness

The third act of the film is, hands down, the finest conclusion to a Star Wars film since the original.

The final battle is staged like a true war movie.

The Little Prince: As wonderful as “Zootopia” and “Moana” were this year, “The Little Prince” is this year’s animated masterpiece.

Bouncing between stop motion and computer animation with ease, this Netflix release had me alternating between weeping and laughing for a childhood I could almost imagine having.

Hell or High Water: A Texas Ranger hunts desperate bank robbers trying to save their family farm. This is country-fied noir in the sunshine, where you can empathetically feel the bugs and sweat pouring down your

face. A captivating, slow burn thriller that takes the time to craft compelling characters.

2

Moonlight: There are scenes of such uncommon power throughout “Moonlight” that the movie feels like something made by a master filmmaker in the waning years of his career. Janelle Monae, Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris will be showered in awards come February.

Green Room: A punk rock band has to fight for their lives against a group of neo-Nazis who have them trapped in a club’s green room. This film is messy, brutal, ugly and hard to watch, but had me pinned to my seat for the entire running time. We miss you Anton Yelchin. SW

She was the daughter of actress Debbie Reynolds and pop singer Eddie Fisher. Most notably, though, she was everyone’s favorite galactic princess, Princess Leia of “Star Wars” fame. As if 2016 didn’t take enough from us, it also took Fisher too. Fisher died Tuesday, Dec. 27 at age 60, after a heart attack on a flight from London to L.A. Friday. See you in the stars, Ms. Fisher…

ASSASSIN'S CREED: Films based on video

PASSENGERS: Jennifer Lawrence and Chris

COLLATERAL BEAUTY: Will Smith plays a grieving father who writes letters to death, time and love. When all three come to visit him, he must make the choice whether to sink further into depression or find his way to the light. The trailers are super goofy, but even when the movies are terrible, Will Smith is always worth watching. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ROGUE ONE: Not sure if you guys have heard of this one. It's a little indie space opera about a rag tag group of rebel insurgents who take on a dark and twisted empire hellbent on ruling the galaxy. While it takes a little time to get used to the entirely new set of characters, the final 30 minutes are some of the most emotionally powerful and intense sequences in Star Wars history.

For people who thought “The Force Awakens” was a little too goofy and beholden to “A New Hope,” this adds some gritty originality to the franchise. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

games are notoriously terrible and reviews for “Assassin's Creed” show that the trend hasn't changed much. With a cast featuring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons and Michael K. Williams (Omar from “The Wire”), it's a shame that nothing more could have come from this cast of talented people. Constant CGI recreations of 15th Century Spain make for a phony adventure that relying on technology instead of talent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

FENCES: Denzel Washington stars and directs

the film version of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway production. Washington plays a garbage collector in 1950s Pittsburgh, still bitter about his failed baseball career. His relationship with his son and wife makes for one of the most powerful family dramas of the last few decades. This is the best Washington has been in years. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

LA LA LAND: Director Damien Chazelle (“Whiplash”) takes his incredible eye and style and puts it into making a throwback to Hollywood musicals of the 1940s-50s. Ryan Gosling plays a focused jazz musician who falls in love with Emma Stone, a struggling actress trying to make ends meet. With flawless direction, lovely performances and a few classic musical numbers, “La La Land” is one of the most talked about films of the year for a very good reason. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX LION: A young boy named Saroo gets lost on a train taking him thousands of miles away from home. Saroo struggles to survive alone on the streets until he's adopted by a kindly Australian couple. Then 25 years later, Saroo (Dev Patel) attempts to find his lost parents and home with the help of Google Earth. While that might sound like an ad for the app, “Lion” is a lovely little film about what home really means to those who don't have one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA: For those looking for adult entertainment, “Manchester by the Sea” is an emotional powerhouse. Casey Affleck gives the performance of his career as Lee Chandler, a broken man whose brother dies and leaves him as the guardian to his 16-year-old nephew. There are no emotionally manipulative sequences and every bit of drama feels earned and authentic. A masterpiece. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX MOANA: Already being hailed as one of the

best animated films of the year, “Moana” once again proves Disney is on a ridiculously predictable hot streak. The film tells the story of a Polynesian princess who goes on a journey to take a mystical relic back to a goddess. She teams up with the legendary demigod Maui (voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson”) and has a colorful and musical adventure. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY: The trailer

(AND TITLE!) sell exactly what you're going to get from this movie: a big, dumb, fun comedy filled with actors you love to watch goofing around.

There are even stakes to the plot, so the audience wants the party to go well and for everyone not to get too coked out and insane. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

Pratt star as two attractive handsomes in sleep stasis aboard a ship headed across the galaxy, taking a chunk of the human race to a new home planet. The problem: They're both awake about 100 years too early and can't go back to sleep.

Reviews say there are some pretty problematic and morally dubious choices in the film, but trailers make the film look like a fun sci-fi romantic ride. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

SEASONS:This is a French/German nature documentary about European territories that humanity shares with wild animals. From the filmmakers who created the jaw-droppingly beautiful “Winged Migration” comes another haunting piece of work that allows us to view the natural world in an entirely new light. This has some of the finest visuals of the year. Tin Pan Theater SING: With a vocal cast featuring Matthew

McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Nick Offerman, Nick Kroll and a dozen other great names, “Sing” should be a slam dunk. Since the story follows a bunch of anthropomorphic animals as they enter a singing competition, the film covers its bases for folks waiting for the next season of “The Voice” to start. This looks like clean, wholesome family entertainment. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

THE 18TH ANNUAL ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS: This year's show has

12 family-friendly animated short films from Belgium, Canada, France, Israel, Korea, Latvia, Norway, Russia, Scotland, the U.K. and the U.S. The programmers only choose the best films for the festival, so you're guaranteed an amazing animated experience. Tin Pan Theater

THE EAGLE HUNTRESS: This gorgeously shot documentary follows a 13-year old girl as she trains to become the first female in 12 generations to become an eagle hunter in rural Kazakhstan. If this were just a movie, it would be powerful and fascinating, but as a documentary, it's breathtaking. The cinematography is some of the finest that has ever been put on film and the story will be a timeless classic. Tin Pan Theater | Sisters Movie House WHY HIM?: Bryan Cranston and the incredibly

Megan Mullally play a pair of disapproving parents meeting their daughter's fiance for the first time. Since the fiance is played by James Franco, a bizarre tech billionaire, it makes sense why they might not be extremely stoked about their daughter shacking up with that guy. Reviews aren't great, but the trailers look pretty funny.

Plus, it's hard not to love this cast in just about everything. Yes, even Franco. He's America's drunken poet laureate. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Redmond Cinema SW

of the Cascade Cycling Classic. Their intensity makes for equally exciting spectating, as evidenced by the throngs of people that fill the sidewalks to catch a glimpse of these speed machines. If you didn’t go this year, make sure to grab a seat early for the 2017 Crit race on July 22.

Cascade Cycling Classic

WinterFest The Source staff might be slightly biased, but we think the new year doesn’t truly start until WinterFest.

This annual event takes over the Old Mill District for three days of seasonal fun. Artists showcase masterful works with fire, ice, metal and more, while food artisans cook up some of the tastiest dishes in town. Kids and kidsat-heart can watch acrobatic feats like the Metal Mulisha stunt riders or the K9 Kings, learn and explore in the kids area, and meet the enchanting Ice Queen and Fire King. Plus, there’s always great music, special events and delicious beer to enjoy. No matter how cold it is outside, WinterFest is the place to be.

Freedom Ride In this especially divisive year, we developed an extra appreciation for events that brought people together for a common cause—even if that cause happened to be a bit of a traffic

nightmare. Love it or hate it, the Freedom Ride is a Bend tradition. Despite loose organization and attempts to quell it, this annual downtown bike ride grows bigger every year, and 2016 was no exception. Watching the streets fill up with creative red, white and blue outfits (or lack thereof, in some cases) is a sight to behold. While the event can be a bit of a headache for drivers, the spirit of it all is definitely worth celebrating, so hop on some wheels and wave your American flag when the Fourth of July weekend rolls around next year.

Pole Pedal Paddle Watching the pros race head to head is exciting; watching your friends and family race head to head is exhilarating. There are plenty of amateur races in Bend, but few capture that exhilaration as well as the U.S. Bank Pole Pedal Paddle. For an amateur race, this event is tough: this six-leg relay traverses the slopes of Mt. Bachelor, skims the waters of the Deschutes River, and covers nearly 30 miles of paved and unpaved roads. Whether you’re in it to win it, competing for fun, or running a small cheering section for your team, the PPP showcases Bend at its best.

Plus, all proceeds from the event go to the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation.

The construction of a Hopservatory at Worthy Brewing in Bend provided a new opportunity to whet both our astronomical and beer palates.

But it gets better: next year’s total solar eclipse will pass directly over Central Oregon. This will be THE astronomical event of the decade, and Bend is in a perfect position for stellar viewing.

Be sure to stop by Pine Mountain Observatory or Sunriver Observatory (as well as Worthy) in mid-August to safely witness this spectacular eclipse, or camp out at Oregon Solar Fest to immerse yourself in the full experience near Madras.

hat is happening in the national housing market appears to be very true for Bend as well.

According to the Beacon Report for December 2016, based on November MLS statistics, prices for Bend single family homes have increased by about 16 percent for the period of November 2015 to November 2016, but housing inventory has not improved and appears to be problematic for the coming year—coupled with other factors. The bright spot is that the increase in building permits over the prior year are up by 50 percent, but the number is low compared to the

shortage of units Most economists predict a continued strong demand for housing. Still, many prominent figures cite concerns about the impediments to first-time homebuyers entering the market, specifically millennials. We can predict that rental housing vacancy rates will continue to stay low until the shortage of housing stabilizes. The increases in interest rates will make it difficult for some first time buyers to afford a mortgage, but the overall consensus seems to be that job and wage growth will compensate for this and keep demand up.

ADVICE GODDESS Sleeping Booty

I’m a 32-year-old guy, and I want a real relationship. I am good-looking and charming and can get girls into bed pretty early on, but I’m beginning to wonder whether that’s hurting me. I think I end up starting relationships based on sex instead of common interests, personality, etc. Does it pay to hold off on sex, and if so, how long?

—Wanting It Real

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / December 29, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

34

There are some wonderful committed relationships that started off with “I want to spend the rest of my boner with you!”

The reality is, those lovebirds probably got lucky (in getting it on with someone they happened to be compatible with). When you have sex right away, you’re prone to getting into a hormone haze—a sort of sex fog—that ends up blurring just about everything but the bed (and maybe the kitchen table, three or four times).

Though people are increasingly getting into relationships through hookups (“sex first/date later”), relationship researcher Dean Busby and his colleagues find that waiting to have sex seems to keep “feels so right!” from killing your ability to see

whether it actually is. In their research, dating for at least a month before having sex was associated with higher relationship stability and satisfaction, better sex, and better communication.

Again, this isn’t to say that people who have sex on—or even before—the first date won’t have satisfying relationships. But as the researchers put it, “the rewards of sexual involvement early on may undermine other aspects of relationship development and evaluation”—for example, keeping partners from putting as much energy into “crucial couple processes” like hammering out communication. It can also prolong relationships that ultimately don’t work when both people are dressed and standing up.

You don’t have to set your sex clock according to the research: “Oh, look at the time—week four and a half; better get it on!”

The point is to wait until you see whether you really like a person and click with them in all the essential ways. Six months into a relationship, if you grab your partner and kiss them as if the world were ending, it should be because you love them that deeply, not because it’s the best way to get them to shut up that doesn’t involve jail time.

ASTROLOGY

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Naturalist John Muir regarded nature as his church. For weeks at a time he lived outdoors, communing with the wilderness. Of course he noticed that not many others shared his passion. “Most people are on the world, not in it,” he wrote, “having no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them—undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate.” Is there anything about you that even partially fits that description, Aquarius?

If so, I’m pleased to inform you that 2017 will be an excellent year to address the problem. You will have immense potential to become more intimate and tender with all of the component parts of the Great Mystery. What’s the opposite of loneliness?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Seven Chilean poets were frustrated by their fellow citizens’ apathy toward the art of poetry. They sarcastically dramatized their chagrin by doing a performance for baboons. Authorities at the Santiago Zoo arranged for the poets’ safety, enclosing them in a protective cage within the baboons’ habitat. The audience seemed to be entertained, at times listening in rapt silence and at other times shrieking raucously. I’m sure you can empathize with the poets’ drastic action, Pisces. How many times have you felt you don’t get the appreciation you deserve? But I bet that will change in 2017. You won’t have to resort to performing for baboons.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Donatello was a renowned Italian sculptor. His favorite piece was “Lo Zuccone,” a marble statue of the Biblical prophet Habakkuk. As Donatello carved his work-in-progress, he addressed it. “Speak, damn you! Talk to me,” he was heard to say on more than a few occasions. Did the stone respond? Judging from the beauty of the final product, I’d have to say yes. One art critic testified that “Lo Zuccone” is a “sublimely harrowing” tour de force, a triumph of “forceful expression,” and “one of the most important marble sculptures of the 15th century.” I suspect you will have Donatello-like powers of conversation in 2017, Aries. If anyone can communicate creatively with stones—and rivers and trees and animals and spirits and complicated humans, for that matter— it’ll be you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami, “A certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect.” Let’s amend that thought so it’s exactly suitable for your use in 2017.

Here’s the new, Taurus-specific version: “A messy, practical, beautiful type of perfection can be realized through a patient, faithful, dogged accumulation of the imperfect.” To live up to the promise of this motto, make damn good use of every partial success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini gymnast Marisa Dick has created a signature move that has never been used by any other gymnast. To start her routine, she leaps up off a springboard and lands on the balance beam doing a full split. The technical term for this bold maneuver is “a change-leg leap to free-cross split sit,” although its informal name is “The Dick Move.” The International Federation of Gymnastics has certified it in its Code of Points, so it’s official. During the coming months, I expect that you will also produce one-of-a-kind innovations in your own sphere.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I hope you will be as well-grounded in 2017 as you have ever been— maybe even since your past life as a farmer. I trust you will go a long way toward mastering the arts of

being earthy, practical, and stable. To do this right, however, you should also work on a seemingly paradoxical task: cultivating a vigorous and daring imagination—as perhaps you did in one of your other past lives as an artist. In other words, your ability to succeed in the material world will thrive as you nurture your relationship with fantasy realms— and vice versa. If you want to be the boss of reality, dream big and wild—and vice versa.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Even if you don’t think of yourself as an artist, you are always working on a major art project: yourself. You may underestimate the creativity you call on as you shape the raw material of your experience into an epic story. Luckily, I’m here to impress upon you the power and the glory of this heroic effort. Is there anything more important? Not for you Leos. And I trust that in 2017 you will take your craftsmanship to the highest level ever.

Keep this advice from author Nathan W. Morris in mind: “Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It’s your masterpiece, after all.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): French painter Henri Matisse (1869-1954) turned out to be one of the supremely influential artists of the 20th century. But he was still struggling to make a living well into his thirties. The public’s apathy toward his work demoralized him. At one point, he visited his dealer to reclaim one of his unsold paintings. It was time to give up on it, he felt, to take it off the market. But when he arrived at the gallery, his dealer informed him that it had finally been bought—and not by just any art collector, either. Its new owner was Pablo Picasso, an artist whom Matisse revered. I think it’s quite possible you will have comparable experiences in 2017, Virgo. Therefore: Don’t give up on yourself!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The self in exile remains the self, as a bell unstruck for years is still a bell,” writes poet Jane Hirshfield. I suspect that these words are important for you to hear as you prepare for 2017. My sense is that in the past few months, your true self has been making its way back to the heart of life after a time of wandering on the outskirts. Any day now, a long-silent bell will start ringing to herald your full return. Welcome home!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In accordance with your astrological omens for 2017, I’ve taken a poem that Shel Silverstein wrote for kids and made it into your horoscope. It’ll serve as a light-hearted emblem of a challenging but fun task you should attend to in the coming months. Here it is: “I’ve never washed my shadow out in all the time I’ve had it. It was absolutely filthy I supposed, so I peeled it off the wall where it was leaning and stuck it in the washtub with the clothes. I put in soap and bleach and stuff. I let it soak for hours. I wrung it out and hung it out to dry. And whoever would have thunk that it would have gone and shrunk, for now it’s so much littler than I.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Walk your wisdom walk in 2017, Sagittarius. Excite us with your wisdom songs and gaze out at our broken reality with your wisdom eyes. Play your wisdom tricks and crack your wisdom jokes and erupt with your wisdom cures. The world needs you to be a radiant swarm of lovable, unpredictable wisdom! Your future needs you to conjure up a steady stream of wisdom dreams and wisdom exploits! And please note: You don’t have to wait until the wisdom is perfect.

You shouldn’t worry about whether it’s supremely practical. Your job is to trust your wisdom gut, to unleash your wisdom cry, to revel in your wisdom magic.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 52 / December 29, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As I was ruminating on your astrological omens for 2017, I came across a wildly relevant passage written by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. It conveys a message I encourage you to memorize and repeat at least once a day for the next 365 days. Here it is: “Nothing can hold you back -- not your childhood, not the history of a lifetime, not even the very last moment before now. In a moment you can abandon your past. And once abandoned, you can redefine it. If the past was a ring of futility, let it become a wheel of yearning that drives you forward. If the past was a brick wall, let it become a dam to unleash your power.”

Blue Dream

Durban Poison

Blue Dream is what’s known as a “sativa-dominant hybrid,” meaning that it is a cross between a more stimulating Cannabis sativa strain (Haze) and a more relaxing Cannabis indica strain (Blueberry). Blue Dream is popular for treating ailments such as pain, depression and nausea without the sedating effects of an indica strain. Like many Benditos, it originated in California, but is now seen all over the West Coast.

Another powerfully—stimulating sativa, Durban Poison, is well known for creating an uplifting, energetic and creative high that some users refer to as “trippy.” Users also enjoy the piney smell and sweet taste, and the large resin glands make Durban Poison a popular choice for concentrate extraction.

Gorilla Glue #4

Purple Hindu Kush

DAILY SPECIALS

D

As a bad year comes to a close, Smoke Signals considers the best strains of 2016. The strains making the list are both strong sellers in Bend, Portland and elsewhere in Oregon, as well as those that have increased greatly in popularity over the past year.

Another sativa-dominant hybrid, Gorilla Glue #4 is named for one of its more common side effects, gluing the user to his or her couch. It’s a very potent strain that has won multiple awards for creating a euphoric and creative high. Its quality seems to come from multiple popular predecessor strains including Chocolate Diesel, Sour Dubb and Chem’s Sister.

Purple Hindu Kush is a classic indica, producing deep relaxation and aiding in sleep and pain relief. It’s a cross between two classic strains, Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani, and its bright orange pistils, dark leaves and sour grape and citrus flavors give it a unique and intriguing appearance.

Fun fact: Purple Hindu Kush was once known as “Jager” in Oregon, until the folks who make Jagermeister had their lawyers send a letter requesting a name change.

Green Crack This author’s personal favorite workout assistant, Green Crack, was named by Snoop Dogg (the rapper and now pot entrepreneur) after he found that it generated a large number of returning customers. The strain is legendary for creating a stimulating high, perfect for high-energy activities such as hiking, exercising, housework or physical labor. Green Crack can be difficult to find in Bend, but comes in both sativa—and indica-dominant hybrid varieties.

Goji OG There are numerous “OG” strains floating around, many of which are quite popular, but Goji OG is distinguished by its distinctive and powerful flavor and aroma, which users describe as tasting like white wine, tart berries and earthy spices.

Jack Herer Named after the legendary cannabis and hemp activist and author of “The Emperor Wears No Clothes,” Jack Herer is a classic strain dating all the way back to the 1990s, when it was created in Amsterdam. Descended from Northern Lights, Haze and Shiva Skunk, it has remained so popular thanks to its potent, clear-headed, creative high and earthy-spicy flavor.

High-CBD strains The biggest trend in cannabis strains this year is the emergence of highCBD strains. “Smoke Signals” has previously highlighted CBD, or cannabidoil, for its effectiveness in treating epilepsy, chronic pain, and other illnesses in humans, as well as certain ailments in dogs and cats. Growers and retailers are responding to the demand for CBD by selling strains such as Harliquin, Critical Mass, Charlotte’s Web, Valentine X and Ringo’s Gift, all of which are often available in Bend.

Unlike THC, CBD is considered “nonpsychoactive,” creating a feeling of relaxation rather than a “high” like THC.
