Central Oregon needs its watchdogs. Here’s hoping for a new era at The Bulletin, Spokesman

T

here’s no doubt that here at the Source Weekly, we believe local news is important. It’s been our mission since we opened our doors in 1997, and it’s the ship we man every week in our print and digital publications. And because we understand journalism that watchdogs local governments, agencies and business is good for the people who live in a community, we welcome EO Media’s pending purchase of The Bulletin and the Redmond Spokesman, decided upon at auction this week. In a community that continues to experience explosive growth, the public deserves more watchdogs, not fewer.

While they’ve been a competitor during all of our 23 years in business, we have watched The Bulletin’s decline in readership and revenue— and its multiple bankruptcy proceedings—with anguish, knowing what it meant for readers and the overall news ecosystem. We may not agree with its editorial board’s positions on many issues, but we do believe that having multiple publications offering differing takes on local issues is a service to the community.

Up until now, we have opted not to weigh in on the bankruptcies or the pending sale on this page—or on our news pages— because we felt that outlining the paper’s decline would only read like sour grapes, coming from a direct competitor. But in the interest of preserving and upholding the values of journalism and local coverage, we felt that now is the time to make a statement.

We don’t envy EO Media for the financial and editorial adjustments it’s going to have to make to right the sinking ship that is Bend’s daily newspaper—but we don’t believe making a commitment to local news is among the biggest challenges the paper will face. A comment from chairwoman Betsy McCool in The Bulletin’s Tuesday print edition stated, “Investing in local news is one of the reasons Western Communications ended up in bankruptcy.”

Investing in local news is not a death sentence. Local news, as our own success has shown, can be the porch light in an otherwise dark night.

It’s something the large corporate chains can’t offer, diving in from their desks far away, and it’s what locals are craving—that, and the ability to see that the people behind the paper they hold in their hands are members of the community, who clearly understand the community’s values and are ready to reflect those on the page. It was a mistake for The Bulletin’s Editor, Eric Lukens, to state in a Feb. 10 opinion piece that he had “absolutely no idea how well the views expressed by The Bulletin’s editorials match up with those of most Central Oregonians.”

Editorials and opinion pages can be nay-saying, and can offer an alternative perspective to prevailing wisdom—but those opinions should at least be informed by the views of the community where the opinions are being published. Quality local journalism starts with understanding your community and being willing to engage with it as both citizen and journalist.

EO Media should take this time, before the sale is final later in August, to reflect on how they can be both a watchdog and a voice that is reflective of this community. It was a crucial step for them to confirm with us, their colleagues and fellow watchdogs, that its group of local investors will be identified in any coverage that involves those financiers, and that those financiers would not have an editorial stake in the papers. If The Bend Foundation is covered in those papers, for example, The Bulletin and the Spokesman aim to disclose that the Foundation financially supports the papers.

We hold ourselves to that standard, too.

When covering events by our (locally, family-owned) parent company, Lay It Out Inc, we state that relationship.

As journalists, we look forward to seeing the advent of a thriving daily newspaper that commits itself to serving the community with transparency, ethical business practices and quality reporting. As community members, we know that’s what all of us deserve.

COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN

IMMIGRATION

In your Opinion column in the July 18 edition, you complain that “undocumented Americans” (AKA illegal aliens) have been targeted by the Trump administration since he came into office in 2017. That statement alone raises important questions: Is anyone who comes into the country illegally by definition an American, regardless of their country of national origin? Did enforcement of our immigration laws start under this President? Was the Obama administration not also “complicit” in removing “undocumented Americans?”

Did you complain about Obama’s treatment of these “undocumented Americans?” Later in the column you state: “We can help others see that pluralism and diversity are assets.” What about the motto, e pluribus unum, from many one? Does that not mean anything to those who would admit anyone into the country? Is assimilation a dirty word? Perhaps the most ludicrous statement in the column is the following: “Asylum seekers land on our shores because this remains a country that respects human rights and honors the rule of law.” Are these “asylum seekers” (most of whom are escaping economic deprivation — not a valid reason for asylum) not breaking the law when

@sourceweekly

they sneak across the border? Is it the Source’s position that our immigration laws should not be enforced, and that anyone who crosses into the country illegally is entitled to the rights and benefits of American citizens? Is it the obligation of American citizens and taxpayers to provide free health care and other benefits to these “undocumented Americans?” Will we still have a country if we open the borders to all who would come here? is there any reason for those seeking to immigrate to the U..S legally to go through the lengthy process of becoming a citizen when they can sneak into the country and gain immediate status as an “American?” Please answer these questions, as I would like to know what the Source sees as the end result of uncontrolled immigration.

HEALTH CARE CRISIS

The 54th anniversary of Medicare affords an opportunity to evaluate the successes and shortcomings of the system of healthcare in America. I have worked in rural hospitals and clinics for 34 years and see Medicare as the shining example of an equitable and humane method of providing clinic visits, medications and hospital services. Once people enter their mid 60s they come to a clinic to address the neglected health problems that they couldn’t afford before they qualified for Medicare. In contrast I see younger adults and families struggle and sacrifice to make the rising payments for insurance bills, cut back on medications which they can’t afford or wait to address medical problems till they become emergencies. A Medicare for All system would provide a proven system to allow these families to have the good health to remain the backbone of our social security system.

Medicare for All would be especially beneficial to rural and other underserved communities. Many rural hospitals have closed in recent years, significantly overburdened by administrative strains—eating up more than a quarter (25.3%) of hospital budgets. Medicare for All would cut hospital administrative costs by funding them through global budgets, similar to the way we fund fire and police departments.

Instead of billing hundreds of insurers, hospitals would be guaranteed stable funding to meet community health needs.

The solution to our health care crisis has been here all along! Medicare, now 54 years old, is popular, efficient, and proven to improve seniors’ health.

BLOWING COAL

Both my 54-year-old daughter and my older son’s partner have been subjected to blowing coal recently in Bend and Redmond. That’s when a diesel pickup gets in front of you and belches out a huge cloud of black smoke. Rednecks like to do this to Priuses, and they were both driving Priuses. As well as being annoying, unhealthy, and totally unecological, this is extraordinarily dangerous. Currently Oregon has no law against this harassment. Colorado has a $35 fine, which is useless. If we wish to stop this activity, $3,500 might do it.

I urge all concerned to contact their state legislators and get a law passed. We need to get along, not harass one another. As the wise old Native American said, both the right wing and the left wing belong to the same bird, and it can’t fly with only one wing.

Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) analysis of the screenings conducted by U.S. asylum officers, over 80 percent of women from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico who were screened on arrival at the U.S. border ‘were found to have a significant possibility of establishing eligibility for asylum or protection under the Convention against Torture.’” Unfortunately, those screenings are taking far too long, without adequate legal counsel—forcing some to make the impossible decision to risk death by remaining, or crossing to possible, relative safety in the U.S. Which would you choose?

Last year around this time my wife and I were camping at Newberry Crater’s East Lake where I left my kayak on the beach and went on a mtn bike ride. When we came back my kayak was gone. Since I was in a national monument I reported it to the Rangers. The next morning, I stopped at the visitor center to see if it had been found. No luck, so we headed back to Bend. As soon as we had cell service the phone loaded up with messages.

Someone found my boat on the rocks across the lake and someone at the resort reported it to the sheriff’s department. Because of my invasive species permit they knew my name.

They talked to my neighbors and then found my daughter’s name and called her. That went terribly wrong as my daughter now thought the worst and soon my family was mobilizing to form a rescue party. All this time we were having coffee at East Lake without a care while my loved ones were having the worst day imaginable. The frustrating part is that this could have been resolved easily if the sheriff department had just asked the Rangers if they had a report of a missing boat.

Here are the Entities Helping Buy The Bulletin WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / AUGUST 1, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Several Central Oregonians are offering loans or investment dollars to buoy sale

By Nicole Vulcan

A

handful of Central Oregonians have committed funds to help an Oregon company purchase two local newspapers. EO Media—which owns numerous Oregon newspapers, including the East Oregonian, the Chinook Observer and others—won an auction to purchase both The Bulletin and the Redmond Spokesman for a purchase price of $3.65 million, beating out Adams Publishing Group, whose representatives also bid on the papers Monday. Another initial bidder, Rhode Island Suburban Newspapers, Inc., did not have representatives at Monday’s auction in Portland.

Both The Bulletin and Spokesman were for sale as part of bankruptcy proceedings by their parent company, Western Communications, which filed for Chapter 11 protection in January. That was the second time Western Communications had sought

bankruptcy protection in the past decade, with another filing in 2012.

EO Media Group’s Chief Operating Officer Heidi Wright told the Source Weekly Tuesday that six entities had added funds that helped them achieve the winning bid. Wright said two parties are “investors” in the newspapers, while the others have offered loans. The Source confirmed Tuesday that the Central Oregonians contributing financial support include William Smith, Amy Tykeson, the Tykeson Family Foundation, Louis Capozzi, Jay Bowerman and the Bend Foundation, run by chairmain of the board of Brooks Resources Corporation, Mike Hollern. At least one other local financial backer may still emerge.

In an email Tuesday, Tykeson confirmed she and Tykeson Family Foundation each committed to “6 figure loans

for the purchase of The Bulletin.”

Bowerman—a retired biological researcher and the son of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman—told the Source that his loan toward the sale amounted to $250,000.

EO Media’s Wright said none of the entities contributing funds would have influence over editorial coverage, and that newsroom staff at both papers would be instructed to disclose the financial backing of any of those financiers in any stories that mention them.

“For me, that was a confidence builder in doing this,” Bowerman said of EO Media’s assertion that they’d disclose the supporters’ financial involvements. “The other investors—there’s at least one or two that have reputations in decision-making in the area.” Smith, for example, is also a co-owner of Mirror Pond Solutions, which owns the land under Bend’s Mirror Pond—a water feature that’s the subject of much controversy regarding whether to dredge it using public funds.

Hollern’s company is also a major developer in Central Oregon.

Wright said the terms of their agreement with financial backers stipulate that any entity contributing over $400,000 would qualify to sit on the leadership board overseeing

the papers—though Wright said no one has yet reached that $400,000 threshold. Wright said she will serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Central Oregon Media Group, an entity EO Media will form to manage the publications. Wright declined to state whether they’d make any changes in its editorial leadership at the newspapers at the outset of the company’s ownership.

By and large, the financial backers said they took action to help purchase the newspapers in the interest of supporting local journalism.

“Bend is good because Bend has good local news coverage,” said Smith—whose company, William Smith Properties, developed the Old Mill District and other properties.

“We wouldn’t have had that with Adams or Rhode Island.”

Tykeson stated via email, “While the newspaper business has undergone cataclysmic changes in recent years, the need for unbiased local journalism has never been greater.”

According to EO Media's Chinook Observer, the sale of the two newspapers includes The Bulletin’s printing press, but not Western Communications’ current headquarters on Chandler Avenue in Bend. The sale of the papers to EO Media will be final in August, Wright said.

Highway 97 Changes Advance Traffic flow, safety, development benefits expected

By Hilary Corrigan will now proceed. “It’s go time for the County and the City on parts of the project we committed to build.”

Along with city officials and other area representatives, Doty helped advocate for the project in Washington, D.C. in May when the group visited Oregon’s congressional delegation and the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Those involved with the project expect various benefits from it.

“A much more freely flowing system,” Murphy said. “That’s the game plan.”

end has stymied development,” Doty said. And he pointed to the need for a less-congested US 97 for use as a lifeline in case a Cascadia earthquake and tsunami ever occurs.

Deschutes County contributed $5 million toward the effort, part of the grant application that helped show local involvement and funding. The grant process factored in local funds and local work related to the project.

For instance, the county plans to build Hunnell Road to connect Cooley and Tumalo roads, since parts of Hunnell are now dirt and gravel. Doty expects that project design to finish by fall 2020 and construction could start in late 2020 or early 2021.

Of the federal grant funding for Central Oregon, Doty said, “I can’t think of one that’s much bigger than this.”

ong-planned efforts to improve US 97 at Bend’s north end have moved a step closer to construction with a $60.4 million federal grant.

The project to reroute US 97 on the north side of the city will complete the final segment of the Bend Parkway.

The money from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Infrastructure for Rebuilding America discretionary grant program goes to the Oregon Department of Transportation. ODOT and local agencies are planning a series of changes as part of the total project, estimated at about $325 million, that include: • Realigning US 97 east of its current location, from Empire Avenue to about a half-mile north of Cooley Road and Lowe's, and making that existing stretch a city street • Improving and grade-separating Cooley Road from US 97 and the BNSF railway, so that the traffic flow can continue on the roads and railway without disrupting each other • Building a new roundabout intersection between US 20 and Cooley Road The federal grant money must be under contract by fall 2020. A process will soon begin deciding where the $60.4 million gets spent, and ODOT Spokesperson Peter Murphy expects those conversations to start soon. Construction likely wouldn’t start until 2021. State legislation in 2017 dedicated $50 million toward improvements at the US 97 and Cooley Road intersection.

“It’s going to be very busy times,” said Deschutes County Road Department Director Chris Doty, who noted that city, county and state portions of the project

noted that those passing through, or commuting between Bend and Redmond, will have a straight route. The project will ease congestion that can get especially bad when tourists hit the region at certain times.

“It’s a bottleneck now,” Henderson said.

Bend City Councilor Justin Livingston noted that lands around that area could then be developed for residential and commercial uses—development that has been restricted due to the already-congested roads and the limits on further burdening intersections with traffic from new development. Livingston called the project “very transformative” for the area.

Doty also noted the congested traffic flow’s impact on economic development in that north end of Bend.

Public housing projects aim to combat flat wages, high housing costs

By Hilary Corrigan

M

ore public housing will open over the next year or two, providing a much-needed supply of homes for a growing Central Oregon population that faces rising housing costs and incomes that fail to keep up.

In an annual update to Deschutes County commissioners July 24, David Brandt, executive director of the local public housing authority, Housing Works, described the housing crisis in Central Oregon. Wages have remained flat while rents have doubled since the recession, he said.

Based on calculations of a $10.75-perhour minimum wage, an affordable rent is around $560, according to Housing Works. But the fair market rent in

Deschutes County is $884 for a one-bedroom home and $1,071 for a two-bedroom home. Spending more than 30% of gross income on housing is not affordable, Brandt said, noting that exceeding the 30% mark increases the risk of becoming homeless. (The minimum wage in July increased to $11 in rural counties, $11.25 in other parts of Oregon and $12.50 in the Portland region.)

Housing Works serves Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties, providing affordable housing and help with rent for Central Oregonians making low and moderate incomes.

Rents and housing costs in general have gone up pretty steadily over the Housing Works

last seven or eight years, Brandt said after the meeting. But wages have not.

“Jobs that used to cover the rent no longer do,” Brandt said. “We’re trying to keep pace.”

Other parts of the U.S.—including the Midwest and South—haven’t seen the kind of increase in rents that Central Oregon has, Brandt said.

“In the past, wages have done a better job of keeping pace with housing costs,” Brandt said.

He likened local area rent run-ups to those seen in Portland, Oregon, and California, noting that housing costs here started to run up fast in the early 2000s.

“The last seven or eight years have gotten really bad,” he said.

Brandt noted that as the community’s population grows, so does the low-income population. Housing Works has long waiting lists for units; three to four people apply for every available unit.

“We really need more,” he said of affordable housing.

The agency looks for reasonably priced land, with the greatest need in Bend and Redmond.

“We’re running out of land,” he said.

The agency uses a lottery system for all units—taking applications from those

who qualify for two to three days and requiring people to apply in person at the housing site where they’re applying.

To watch for application openings or join waiting lists, visit housing-works.org or the property management entity for the agency at epicpropertymgmt.com.

Housing Works projects coming to the region over the next year or two include: • Liberty Lodge – Construction just started on an eight-unit facility in Redmond, set aside for tenants with disabilities, to open in December • Red Canyon – includes 67 units in three three-story buildings on two parcels in Redmond and 23 units in two three-story buildings in Madras. Construction will start in October and units will open in summer 2020 • Carnelian Place – a 47-unit building for senior citizens in Bend. Construction could start in early spring 2020 and units could open starting at the end of 2020 or early 2021 • Phoenix Crossing – a 24-unit building with half the units set aside for those with developmental disabilities and the other half set aside for survivors of domestic violence. Construction could start in early spring 2020 and units could open starting at the end of 2020 or early 2021

Proposed Rule Change Threaten Food Stamp Benefits For Oregonians Officials at Oregon’s Department of Human Services are crunching numbers, trying to determine how many food stamp recipients might be impacted by a federal proposal to toughen eligibility requirements for SNAP benefits.

The Trump administration announced this week Paul Sableman, Flickr that it plans on “closing a loophole” that had previously made recipients of “minimal” benefits through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, known as TANF, automatically eligible for SNAP. Oregon is one of 43 states that qualifies certain TANF recipients for SNAP benefits without requiring the applicant to again verify their income and report their expenses.

T

he Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, which is no small feat.

The first annual Deschutes County Fair was actually held in October 1920, just a few years after Deschutes County was officially recognized in 1916, when it broke off from Crook County. Originally called the Potato Show & County Fair, the Fair wouldn’t don its moniker of Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo until the following year.

Back then, potatoes were an abundant and lucrative crop in Central Oregon—so popular, in fact, that starting in 1906, Redmond regularly held potato shows. The events brought farmers from all over the county together to discuss crop yields, methods and the industry as a whole.

County fairs have long been more than an “occasion of frolic,” as one 1919 editorial from the (now defunct) Oregon City Enterprise newspaper noted.

They’re an opportunity to educate the

next generation of farmers, with the educational component not taking a back seat to the entertainment. As the editorial stated: “We should put [livestock] in the most conspicuous place in public exhibitions, give prominent honor to the men that raise them successfully, award liberal prizes for the best specimens, and do everything possible to make animal husbandry seem interesting and profitable.”

Supporting agriculture in the modern age One hundred years later, making agricultural jobs appealing to younger generations is more challenging than ever. According to U.S. Census data, the average age of U.S. farm producers in 2017 was 57.5 years—up 1.2 years from 2012, continuing a long-documented upward trend.

Popular youth leadership and agricultural organizations that are still around today didn’t fully form until a decade after the Fair began. 4-H animal

exhibits and auctions popped up at the Fair in 1927, according to archival records at the Deschutes Historical Museum, though the local chapters formed sometime in the early 1920s.

The national Future Farmers of America organization was founded in 1928 by 33 farm boys from 18 states — including Oregon, according to Kallei Ouellette, Bend’s FFA reporter. The Bend FFA chapter was founded in March 1953. By the mid ‘90s, it had moved to Mountain View High School to pair with the school’s agricultural-focused science classes, says Bend FFA co-advisor Jeff Papke. The program includes classes in agroscience, natural resources, animal science, pre-vet medicine and more.

This year, 34 Bend FFA students are participating in the Deschutes County Fair. Most are showing animals, but a few are presenting projects they’ve been working on over the summer, including gardening, floriculture, nature photography and educational displays.

“A good Ag Ed program should have a very rigorous curriculum—it should try to welcome all students,” says Papke.

That’s something he feels they do exceptionally well—and the state FFA organization agrees. The Bend FFA chapter was named the best secondary middle school/high school program of the year in 2019. The program offers students a clear course pathway and offers a wide variety of agricultural and technical classes—such as welding and automotive classes.

“I think that that’s what I’m most proud of,” says Papke. “Any student at Mountain View could come look at our program and we could figure out a place for them.”

Event students without land can participate in raising livestock for the Fair—it just takes a little more work.

Chelsea Buhmann, 17, will be a senior at Mountain View High School next year; transferring from Bend Senior High School. This is her second

jackets—and says she thought they were pretty cool.

She’s bringing one pig strictly for market and another for the showmanship and breeding category. How well you market your pig ahead of the auction, your connections in the community, and whether your breeder or family is well-known are some of the factors affecting the outcomes, she says. There’s a lot at play beyond raising a healthy animal, and that’s where the leadership and speaking skills that FFA cultivates can come into play.

Sonna Faulkner, 17, joined FFA at the behest of her mother, who participated in FFA when she was in high school. She plays competitive volleyball for Bend Senior High School and she didn’t know if she’d be able to balance the obligations of both extracurricular activities.

“The FFA has been really lenient with me being gone from meetings, which has helped a lot,” says Faulkner.

“I’m really glad that I did join, because it’s been an amazing experience.”

Faulkner’s family owns 10 acres in Bend and 80 more in Powell Butte.

She’s bringing six head of steer to the Fair this year. She plans on majoring in business and minoring in animal science at Eastern Oregon University, where she received a full-ride scholarship to play volleyball. She hopes to start her own business involving agriculture and livestock after graduation, but she’s not sure yet.

A future in farming?

After noticing that no one in the FFA advisor’s office said they wanted to own and operate a farm—even those who grew up on farms—I asked them why.

“I think a lot of people our age get told not to,” says Janelle Neumann, an Submitted

18-year-old who just graduated from Mountain View. The handful of students nod in agreement.

When asked if they knew anyone their age who intends to be a farmer or rancher after graduation, they could think of a couple names of students they felt would carry on their family farms, but that was it.

Buhmann says her family back in Iowa has steered her away from farming because it’s a really hard lifestyle.

“You can’t take days off, it’s a fulltime commitment. Most people don’t get vacation or anything like that,” says Buhmann. “I think one of the biggest things, especially over there with being in tornado alley, is it’s really high risk and there’s not a lot of security in the income.”

Other students chime in with educated and level-headed evaluations of the industry—from unstable market conditions caused by prohibitive rules and regulations, the high cost of high-tech farming equipment that buries farmers in debt—to the patenting of seeds by corporations, making it so farmers have to buy seeds year after year and the misinformation surrounding genetically modified organisms.

These students are well informed, an all have a passion for agriculture— but the barriers to becoming a successful farmer or rancher are ever present in their minds. So the question remains—how to raise the next generation of farmers?

“We have a family farm that we’re looking to the next generation on who’s going to go back to it, and we’re struggling with that,” says Jaimee Brentano, co-advisor of the Bend FFA. “As I started looking toward my future, I didn’t see myself wanting to drive the tractor every day. I really wanted to more tell people about what we do when we drive the tractor and why we do it.”

Both FFA advisors believe education—not just for students interested in agriculture, but for every U.S. citizen—is an important step in creating change for farmers.

“What we do is something that feeds and clothes the world,” says Brentano. “So that’s our first step here in the classroom, is to get them to understand ‘what is agriculture, what does it actually look like, day in day out’—and then how can you, as a younger person, look to improve it?”

Papke, the Bend co-advisor, says the lack of production farms in Central Oregon makes it difficult to showcase the agriculture industry to students.

The challenge is finding ways to get students excited about agriculture and the different types of jobs available in the agriculture industry, he says.

“We’re scratching and clawing for people to go into agriculture,” he says.

“Whether it be in production at the farm level, business marketing, processing — companies are begging for people.”

While both co-advisors in the Bend FFA program aim to educate the next generation of farmers and tradespeople, they know the skills learned in FFA are invaluable, no matter what life hands students after high school.

“It’s unlocking potential of these students that they never knew they had,” says Papke. “Everything from the opportunity to where you can look somebody in the eye, give them a firm handshake and introduce yourself or where you can talk intelligently on a specific topic.”

Presenting at the Deschutes County Fair Students will present their animals and projects at the Deschutes County Fair throughout the week, from July 31 to Aug. 4. The full schedule can be viewed online at expo.deschutes.org or with the Fair’s app for iPhone and Android.

year raising a pig for the Fair, but she doesn’t have rural land to raise it on, so she’s made arrangements with another student to house her pig on their land.

“I get to keep my animal there, but I have to do all the work,” says Buhmann, who’s the district president of the Oregon FFA this year. “I have to do all the feeding, expenses are all mine—it’s been really nice, but really difficult as well.”

Buhmann drives from her home on the south side of town out to farmland near Mountain View twice a day. Her pig was on the heavy side last year, but this year her pig is on the light side — in an effort to help the pig put on weight, she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve.

“It’s been a challenge in and of itself trying to figure out how to push him. I’ve been asking around for tricks—I’ve been putting confetti cake mix in the feed now to try to get him to eat,” says Buhmann. An audible sigh is heard from her advisor, Papke, upon hearing this. “So, I’ve been adding supplements and the cake mix— and it’s working now!”

Buhmann says the visual appeal and structure of the animal are mainly what judges are looking for at fair competitions. She’s not the only one who’s tried interesting food combos to help her pig pack on a few pounds. Joel Newman, a 15-year-old sophomore who is homeschooled, said he fed his pig eggs, among other things, last year.

This year, he’s raising a pig and a steer to show at the Fair.

Send in the Clown Rodeo Clown JJ Harrison brings a barrel of laughs to the Deschutes County Fair and Rodeo

13

By Damian Fagan

R

odeo fans need little introduction to JJ Harrison, one of the most sought-after rodeo clowns on the Northwest Pro Rodeo Association and Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuits. His quick humor and walk-and-talk antics have made him a fan favorite at rodeos from Central Oregon to Louisiana. Catch Harrison and his “act” each night during the 2019 Deschutes County Fair and Rodeo, where he’ll be helping celebrate the fair’s 100 th anniversary.

“We are extremely excited to have JJ Harrison back for this year’s rodeo,” said Deschutes County Fair Marketing Coordinator Ross Rodgers.

“He’s one of the hottest rodeo clowns on the circuit.”

“I didn’t grow up in a big rodeo family, but I developed an interest in rodeo when I was in high school in Okanogan [Wash.],” said Harrison.

“I wanted to be a cowboy for all the same reasons that every kid wants to become a cowboy—the lifestyle, the jeans, the hats, the girls and the certain gentleman courtesy that comes with being a cowboy.”

That interest took flight when Harrison joined Washington State University’s rodeo team. He competed as a bull and bronc rider, but tried every event there was. “I thought I was a

good bull rider, but the less-than-spectacular bulls I covered gave me a false sense of confidence when I got a bull of any rank.” Tired of being thrown, Harrison switched from riding bulls and broncs to team roping events, where he found success, but not a career.

Harrison graduated from WSU in 1998 with a teaching degree and eventually earned a master’s degree in education from Arizona’s Grand Canyon University while teaching science and social studies to eighth graders in Walla Walla, Washington. In his off-time he continued roping and training horses, balancing rodeo and teaching for eight years. In addition to his horse skills, Harrison is a natural-born entertainer with a quick wit and high energy.

Recognizing Harrison’s abilities as an entertainer, Pat Beard of the Beard Rodeo Company asked Harrison to be a rodeo clown at a local Vancouver event in 2003. “He said, ‘You should be my rodeo clown,’ and I thought that would be the dumbest thing ever,” said Harrison, who also wasn’t keen on the idea of wearing makeup or seeking refuge in a 150-pound aluminum barrel while a 2,000-pound bull was trying to destroy it.

Nowadays, he wears that makeup about four days a week.

“I don’t mind being called a rodeo clown, but my job is an entertainer,” said Harrison. “I don’t think anybody looks at my face and giggles because I’m wearing makeup. I want to be seen as the entertainer at this event, as the guy who makes you laugh and makes you part of the show.”

His unscripted and off-the-cuff humor allows his comedy to develop

in front of the fans. “The best advice I can give to someone who wants to be a rodeo clown is to read the local paper before you get there,” said Harrison.

He looks for topics which are relative to the crowd; local issues and people that he can have fun with.

To Harrison, it doesn’t matter if he’s called the rodeo clown, barrelman or entertainer. He’s in the arena to entertain the audience between rodeo action and to be the first line of defense to protect riders in the arena, along with the bullfighters.

“People ask me what’s the most dangerous part of my job and I tell them it’s the drive from rodeo to rodeo,” said Harrison. “You do my job, you’re going to get injured, putting your life on the line for the contestants.” His list of injuries would make an ER doc twitch.

Rodeo is Harrison’s way of life.

Nowadays, he’s able to share it with his wife, Bailey, and their combined kids, Trey, Huck, Ava and Trevor. On average, Harrison figures he works about 38 weekends a year at rodeos or other events—so having the whole family along is important to stay connected.

When the Deschutes County Fair and Rodeo called, Harrison said an emphatic ‘Yes.’ “You don’t always get the Redmond 100th year anniversary rodeo,” said Harrison. “I’m proud to be chosen and to prove to people I’m the right guy to be there.”

Fairly Established

As the band approaches its 25th year, it kicks off the concert series for the Deschutes County Fair’s 100th year

By Alan Sculley Joseph Guay

E

Roland, singer/guitarist of Collective Soul, feels the band’s new album, “Blood,” is the strongest album from start to finish his group has done. He became convinced of that after a band get-together that was intended to reach a consensus on what song should be the album’s first single.

“When we decided to release a single, I was sitting down with the guys (in the band) and we all wrote which one it should be,” E Roland recalled during a recent phone interview. “Every one of us had a different song. So that shows you to me, it didn’t help the cause of picking a song (for a single), but it was like as a body of work, we all like it.”

Collective Soul had no shortage of new songs available for the new album.

“We recorded 10 songs (in 2017). Originally, we thought we would just do a record where the first side would be the rock and the second would be more orchestrated, like ‘World I Know’ and ‘December,’” E Roland explained, mentioning a pair of his band’s more textured hits. “We finished that, and then we went on tour…At the beginning of (2018), I wrote another batch of songs. I showed them to the guys, and they were like ‘Man, we’ve got to record these.’ We spent 10 days up at a place called the Barber Shop in (New) Jersey and in 10 days knocked it out.”

In all, Collective Soul recorded 22 songs, and for a time the band pondered putting all of them out on a double album. E Roland, who as of this year has decided to go by the name E Roland (instead of Ed Roland), said that notion died a quick death.

“It didn’t take long for our management to go, ‘you’re not releasing a double record.’ So that shut that down pretty quick,” E Roland said. “You know, these days with streaming, I

can’t ask someone to sit there and stream 22 songs, an hour and 15 of music. That’s asking too much of the audience. So, we decided to just break it up into two. So, this one (“Blood”) comes out this year and the other (album) will come out next year.”

The songs on “Blood” add to an already deep catalog Collective Soul began building in 1993 when Atlantic Records released what was essentially a demo of E Roland songs as “Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid.”

Featuring the hit single “Shine,” the album went double platinum, as E Roland recruited the other members of the original Collective Soul – his brother, Dean Roland (guitar), Will Turpin (bass), Ross Childress (guitar) and Shane Evans (drums) – and the group began touring.

That lineup scored an even bigger hit with the triple-platinum self-titled second album (featuring hits like “The World

I Know,” “December,” “Where The River Flows” and “Gel”), and continued to enjoy considerable success with three more albums before fortunes began to wane, the band lineup began shifting and the group parted ways with Atlantic Records.

But E Roland feels Collective Soul was rejuvenated after drummer Johnny Rabb joined in 2012 and guitarist Jesse Triplett came on board in 2014.

“I’ve got to be honest with you, with Jesse and Johnny involved in the band now, they’ve really kicked Will, Dean and I in the ass,” E Roland said. “They’re awesome. If I could have the band to start over, this is the band I would want, not only from the playing side of it, but from the personality side of it.”

The “Blood” album should go over well with fans of Collective Soul’s other nine studio albums. The album opens with a bang,

with four hyper-catchy and punchy rockers – “Not The Time,” “Over Me,” “Crushed” and “Right As Rain” before shifting into the more expansive mid-tempo territory, as the group tips its hat musically to the late Tom Petty (as well as the Cars and Elton John) on “Good Place To Start,” builds from a simmer to an epic crescendo on “Observation of Thoughts” (a song about E Roland’s sister-in-law, who lost her battle to cancer about a year ago) and ends the album with a bit of a folky moment with “Porch Swing” (featuring Styx’s Tommy Shaw on dobro and backing vocals).

Now out on a headlining tour—including being the kickoff concert at the Deschutes County Fair Wednesday night—E Roland and the band are understandably excited to play songs from “Blood.” But they won’t omit the hits – which considering Collective Soul has notched 17 top 20 singles (including seven No. 1 Mainstream Rock hits) in a career that hits the quarter-century mark this year, is a substantial body of work in and of itself.

“In releasing our tenth studio record we have a lot of songs,” E Roland said. “Of course, we’re going to play the songs everybody is familiar with. At the same time, you do want to promote the new recording because you’re excited about it. That’s why we’re going out. We want to show we’re still kicking in what we do. I think we’ll add about six new songs and kind of strategically place them in there, so you don’t lose interest.”

The hot summer just got hotter– here’s the best in music from July

Biehl

LOCAL’S BIN:

“Sounds of Oregon” —Elisha David

NATIONAL BEATS:

If you missed our interview with Elisha David at the beginning of July, this is a reminder to go take a listen to his new album, “Made in Oregon.” Each song highlights a different landmark or piece of history in Oregon. “Stars Over Sisters” is a dreamy instrumental, sounding almost like the perfect lullaby for looking at the sky from your sleeping bag. The title track is the ultimate backing to a road trip that could hit every corner of the state. These songs are sure to relax, inspire and deepen your connection to Oregon’s wonders.

“Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.” —HUNNY The debut album from California’s HUNNY makes me feel like I’m in high school all over again.

It sounds like ‘80s and ‘90s pop with a heavy layer of 2000s punk spread on top. The opening track, “Lula, I’m Not Mad,” is a perfect song for those melancholic summer days. Every synth hits just right and the way lead singer Jason Yarger sings out these pleas for love is a combo I can fully get behind. It’s a big yesyesyesyesyes to HUNNY’s debut from me.

NATIONAL BEATS:

“Smooth Big Cat” —DOPE LEMON The second album under his DOPE LEMON project shows Australia’s Angus Stone at his most mellow ever. “Smooth Big Cat” is laid-back rock for a laidback day spent with a laid-back person. The album sounds like how it feels to be sweating it out on a desert hike with no shade to escape the sun’s rays: slow, warm and somehow refreshing at the same time. Like an ice cube melting.

Five for The Rotation: “Dollar” – Electric Guest “Dance Through It” – Twin Peaks “Dark & Handsome” – Blood Orange feat. Toro Y Moi “I’ll die anyway” – girl in red “Sofia” - Clairo

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES

“Cascade Relays has been a generous supporter of Girls on the Run of Central Oregon for many years. Our partnership helps allow us to provide empowering, life shaping programming to more girls in our community each year. Thank you Cascade Relays! ”

“The generous Hire a Volunteer program through Cascade Lakes Relay Foundation truly impacts Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & Southwest Washington and the families who stay with us. This program helps fund the core of our mission of providing a “home away from home” for families having to travel for medical care for their sick or injured child. Each $150 donated by CLR Foundation, helps fund one night of lodging for a family staying at the Bend Ronald McDonald House. Equally as important, the support of CLR Foundation is just another example of our community wrapping their arms around families and showing them that true community support comes in many different shapes and sizes. Here at Ronald McDonald House in Bend, we are greatly appreciative of being a part of the Hire a Volunteer program”.

– Emily Love, Girls on the Run of Central Oregon Council Director

REDMOND HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL “Being a part of the Cascade Lakes Relay and The Bend Beer Chase has to be the most fun way to raise money for a good cause. This year our fundraising dollars are helping us get new uniforms and create more outreach to younger kids in the community that are interested in learning about our sport. Working with the CLR team has definitely been a positive experience!

Cascades Theater offers a preview of its entire coming season

“Edge of Awe: Experiences of the Malheur-Steens Country”

Edited by Alan L. Contreras

Forget for a moment that William Kittredge wrote the foreword or that Ursula LeGuin contributed several essays and illustrations. This anthology of essays, poems, and reflections about southeast Oregon is a must-read for anyone interested in this remote, beautiful part of the state.

It's a collection of visitors' personal experiences in the region over the past 100 years, including the 2016 occupation at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Along with “Shadowlands” by Anthony McCann and “This Land”

by Christopher Ketcham, we now have three (very different) books shedding light on a little explored but cherished, austere part of Oregon.

“Lady in the Lake”

The cast of “Bright Star” leads the way in this weekend's preview show.

of a group of women employed to apply radium paint onto glow-in-the-dark watch faces. The women become sickened with radium poisoning and work to win compensation from their employer.

“Miss Bennett: Christmas at Pemberley” (Nov. 29-Dec. 15) is a sequel to Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” set two years later as Mary, who watched as her sisters found romance, finally sees her own chance to find love. Next comes Agatha Christie’s “The Spider’s Web” (Feb. 14-March 1), a parody of mystery plays in which the writer discovers a dead body in her own home and feels she must hide the corpse before her husband arrives with his VIP guest.

In Ken Ludwig’s “Shakespeare in Hollywood” (March 20-April 5), beloved fairy characters Oberon and Puck magically materialize during the filming of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” wreaking new layers of havoc on the movie set. Finally, “Bright Star” opens May 15.

Tickets for the Sneak Peek preview will only be available at the door, opening one hour before each performance.

ARTWATCH

by Laura Lippman

Set in 1960s Baltimore, this standalone from Lippman tells the story of recently divorced Madeline Schwartz, trying to make her way in a man’s world of newspaper writers and editors. When the paper ignores the murder of a young African-American woman found dead in a city fountain, Schwartz fixates on the crime well beyond what it might mean for her ambitions at the paper.

With the ghost of the dead girl watching over her shoulder, Lippman uses Schwartz to explore a perfectly captured time of racism and sexism wrapped up in one of the best literary mysteries of the year. A host of other one-off characters—store clerks, bartenders, waitresses, policemen, a baseball player—add greater context to Schwartz’s attempts to stand strong.

Deadline ahead for PLAYA artist residencies

A

rtist residencies can be excellent opportunities for artists to spend focused time on their work in an environment away from the demands of daily life. In addition to studio facilities or basic work space, they can offer place-based inspiration: an environment in which artists working in divergent fields can exchange ideas and give artists a sense that their work is valued in both a physical and metaphysical context. Residencies, like exhibitions or grant awards, are cairns along the mountainous trail of artists’ careers. Not

only do they do the work of enhancing a CV—essentially a very detailed resume— but it can have a major impact on the artist’s own perception that their pursuits are, indeed, moving them forward.

A quick online search can help you find a residency just about anywhere in the

world—including a few close by: PLAYA, Caldera, Suttle Lake and Pine Meadow Ranch.

The one to focus on right now is PLAYA as the deadline to apply is just two weeks away.

PLAYA’s gorgeous 75-acre campus is situated at the edge of Central Oregon’s Great Basin near Summer Lake, offering

residencies of varying lengths throughout the year that “are open to the global community of scientists, naturalists, biologists, designers, sustainability leaders, social practice artists, musicians, visual artists, writers, performing artists and collaborations and individuals engaged in interdisciplinary work or other forms of creative work.” Several Oregon-based artists are alums, including Abney Wallace and Ka’ila Farrel-Smith. A testimonial given by former PLAYA resident, writer Matt Runkle, states, “The setting is incredibly beautiful beyond description. I can’t believe how productive I was while working here.” Sounds perfect, don’t you think? Perhaps you should apply.

his weekend’s ‘Sneak Peek’ season preview at the Cascades Theater is geared up to be at least as much fun as any of the full season’s coming attractions. The “Bright Star” piece, for example, will feature choreographed scenes from the musical, conceived by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell.

The Source had the opportunity to watch a rehearsal for the Bright Star segment this past Thursday, and it’s chock full of knee-slappin’ tunes and homespun charm. Music director and keyboardist Janelle “Janellybean” Musson says she hopes the band performing for the Sneak Peek will also be in the final production in May. The musical ensemble Thursday included Jon Miller on banjo and Steven Whitney on guitar, with actors Stephen Wagner (of Bend Camerata) and Nancy Scher singing the roles of love-lorn editor Alice Murphy and her long-ago beau Jimmy Ray Dobbs.

“It’s a bluegrass musical,” says Craig Brauner, who makes his Central Oregon directorial debut with Bright Star. He says Bright Star was a natural fit for him, being a Bluegrass fan from Kentucky.

“My family, my ancestors, are in the story,” he says.

All of the main-stage plays in the Cascades 2019-2020 lineup will be featured in the Sneak Peek preview show. In “The Philadelphia Story,” opening Aug. 23, privileged divorcee Tracy Lord becomes engaged, but winds up falling for the reporter assigned to cover her upcoming nuptials. Opening Sept. 27 is “These Shining Lives,” based on the true story

Culinary Daytrip: Madras

Enjoying pastries, picnicking, whiskey sipping and fresh farm foods

Breakfast in Madras Our daytrip to Madras begins at Eagle Bakery, at the corner of 3rd Street and the Old Culver Highway, owned and operated by the Birky family, quite famous for their cinnamon rolls. Get there at 7am when they open on Friday to enjoy the freshly made doughnuts and maple bars for only $1 each!

“Country Home Baking” is the company’s tagline, and the taste of homemade goodness is in their breads, pies, cakes and cookies. Here’s the tricky part: They’re only open on Fridays and Saturdays and if you’re not there early you could miss out on some of their more popular items. My suggestion is to enjoy an early morning pastry then grab extra cinnamon rolls to take home and freeze for later. Save room, because lunch is next!

Lunch in Madras Head north to SW “D” Street for some browsing at Great Earth Cafe and Market. Troy Boyd and her husband Gary opened Great Earth in 1996 with the mission of bringing good food to the Madras area. Over the years, they’ve also created a unique market with specialty food items, gifts, kitchen gadgets and a variety of grab-n-go meals. Do a little shopping in their market, grab a bottle of wine or kombucha, then head to the counter and order up one of their sandwich specials for your picnic. The Dakota, stacked high with sliced turkey breast, Havarti, tomato and green leaf lettuce on 5-seed harvest bread (baked

in-house), is a popular choice. There’s also a lovely Whole Grain Veggie and a Black Bean Burger in a pita pocket. If a sit-down lunch is more your style, the Doro Wat Chicken with Ethiopian spices is wonderful.

Madras side trips Lunch is in the bag, so it’s time for a tour. Drive a little farther north on Highway 97, then turn west onto NW Andrews Drive. You could drive on down to the hangar of the Erickson Aircraft Collection (which I highly recommend doing now or later). But if you look immediately to your right, you’ll see New Basin Distillery. Stop.

Take a tour. Owner Rick Molitor will greet you with a smile and show you around their impressive grain-to-bottle distillery. This former school superintendent’s passion for handcrafted spirits is contagious, and before you leave, you’ll be well-schooled in the art of distilling. Of course, you can do a tasting and have a bit of their Tambi Lane Photography

Resignation Rye or Strong American Light Whiskey and realize it all started with grains from a nearby field.

The day is young; the options aplenty. For an outside excursion, check out nearby hiking trials at The Cove Palisades and Smith Rock state parks. It’s all about doing whatever you need to do to work up a dinner appetite.

Dinner on a farm Time it right and make a reservation in advance to dine outdoors in true summer style on the farm at Rainshadow Organics. This full-diet family farm on Holmes Road between Terrebonne and Sisters is an incredible place with acres of vegetables, greenhouses, momma cows, a herd of pigs, a hive of bees and multiple flocks of chickens and turkeys. The farm offers several opportunities between now and October to enjoy a Longtable Dinner; a threecourse meal created from the farm’s own bounty; a seasonal three-course wine dinner pairing farm-raised foods with local wines; a Sunday brunch, catered by their farm-to-table chef or even a simple cooking class. The Farm Store offers the option to take home some fresh eggs, plum jam or pickles.

A family of coffee connoisseurs takes over Bom Dia Coffee, now Kennedy’s Coffee House

31 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 31 / AUGUST 1, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

CRAFT

For the Love of Coffee

By Nancy Patterson

Nancy Patterson

The activated charcoal frozen mocha is a cool treat that kicks ash.

B

rent Kennedy didn’t always intend to be in the coffee business, but when an opportunity to purchase a small coffee house presented itself in 1998, he and his wife, Bonnie, decided to take over. At the time, Bonnie was working as a barista and it felt serendipitous. After leaving their respective jobs in the small ski town of Mammoth, California, the original Looney Bean was born.

Soon after taking over, Brent developed a deep appreciation for roasting and making coffee. They moved their family to Bend in 2005 and opened Bend’s Looney Bean in 2010. While building and growing five Looney Bean locations had been Brent’s life’s work up to this point, he decided to pass the torch onto a couple who took over in 2013. With more time to hone his coffee craft, Brent decided that roasting his own beans was the next chapter of his pursuit to better coffee. Bend Roasting Company, which resides on Empire, continues to provide high-grade beans to local grocers and coffee shops— including, you guessed it, Looney Bean.

But this isn’t where the Kennedy family’s story of creating hand-crafted coffee drinks ends. The next generation of Kennedys—Brent and Bonnie’s two daughters, Paris and London—have the opportunity to follow in their parents’ footsteps. They purchased Bom

Dia Coffee and took over in July. The girls have created an array of frozen coffee concoctions, including an activated charcoal frozen mocha and their famous “Velvet Elvis,” comprised of white chocolate, espresso, caramel and blended Oreo.

Intrigued by the activated charcoal frozen mocha, I had to visit the coffee shop myself. I’m not sure that activated charcoal actually has much of a taste, but the frozen concoction is tasty as heck. I anticipated a tarry, chalky mixed drink, but was instead met with a smooth and velvety mocha with hints of toasted coconut and dark chocolate.

And, no, there were no stained teeth in the reviewing of this drink.

While the Kennedy daughters are still finding their place in the coffee world, they’re slowly putting their own touches on the space that has maintained most of its previous décor. They’ve dressed the space in flowing greenery provided by the indoor plant pop-up, Somewhere That’s Green (the plants are all available for purchase, as well). Too Sweet Cakes continues to deliver daily breakfast burritos and, my personal favorite, housemade Cronuts.

ALADDIN: With Guy Ritchie in the director’s chair, here’s hoping he can add some of that “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” magic to a remake already lacking the brilliance of Robin Williams.

Dreamin’ SCREEN California Tarantino weaves a wondrous fairy tale

By Jared Rasic

NOW OPEN!

“Once Upon a Time In…Hollywood” is no different as it lets audiences and critics decide whether they want to be entertained by the surface or be challenged by the subtext. On one level, the film is about an actor named Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio in the performance of his career), a washedup Western actor whose acting chops aren’t landing him many roles in the summer of ’69. His best friend, driver and stuntman is Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt, who is now a full Robert Redford), whose shady past strands him without much work as he spends most of his time driving around the city or getting drunk in his trailer behind a drive-in movie theater.

Dalton lives next door to Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, and is green with envy of his successful neighbors, several months before the Manson family murders Tate and a few of her friends.

Knowing that this is coming adds tension to a movie that mostly plays as a comedy. Even as the film builds toward that horrible night, we know Tarantino is going to play with expectations and, no spoilers, he does so in the least predictable way possible.

So yeah, on one level the film is a love letter to television and the Hollywood of the 1960s, but more importantly the film is (check the title) a fairy tale deconstructing a country that is more comfortable with violence than sex, and the way the greatest generation fought with the hippies to keep control of a culture neither group was ready for. The Manson family is quick to call everyone who doesn’t buy what they’re selling a “fascist” while Cliff and Rick are quick

There’s not enough of DiCaprio jumping out of pickup trucks in Hollywood.

to deride anyone avoiding their sense of stodgy and outdated conservatism as a “worthless hippie.”

There’s some manufactured controversy about Margot Robbie (perfect as the angelic Sharon Tate) not having as many lines as DiCaprio or Pitt. Even if we forgot that Tarantino has written some of the greatest female characters of all time (The Bride, Jackie Brown and Shosanna Dreyfuss, to name a few), the point would still be missed. “Once Upon a Time In…Hollywood” has enough respect for Tate not to attempt a demystification; instead, she’s a glowing ball of possibility whose murder served as the death knell of a more innocent time and of a future we never got to see. If you want to count how many lines she has, be my guest, but there’s a big forest outside all those trees.

Tarantino is a fantasist. Yes, he’s a master technician when it comes to his screenplays and directorial work, but he’s more interested in giving people what they ask for and then making them question why they asked for it. When he makes a villain we hate, he makes their death ugly, uncomfortable and not fun to witness. He makes his audience complicit in his films, accessories to blood and hate that make us re-examine our own collective unconscious carried through our lizard brain from our deeply buried historical guilt. This is what movies are for.

I

think Quentin Tarantino is a misunderstood filmmaker. He’s an unembarrassed cinephile who regularly comes under attack for his movies containing sexism, racism, brutal violence, a deep-seated foot fetish and enough bad language to make a sailor blush. Yeah, most of his movies contain those things, but they exist to serve a purpose, not to propagate the ideals behind them.

One thing that’s sometimes overlooked in this (happily) more politically correct age is that presenting sexism or racism isn’t endorsing those things if there’s a statement being made by the artist. Tarantino knows that the U.S. is a nation mostly built on violence, xenophobia and the exploitation of women and minorities. He uses our shared past to create alternate histories of this country we’d like to see birthed from his decades of consuming every film ever made.

Tarantino isn’t after titillation; he’s after emotional catharsis on a grand and uncompromising scale. Because he’s such a film geek, all of his big ideas come filtered through the lenses of his inspirations.

“Jackie Brown” normalizes a mixedrace love story disguised as Blaxploitation starring a middle-aged woman of color. “Kill Bill” is the story of an abused woman left for dead whose motherhood gives her the kung-fu power of divine retribution and justice. “Django Unchained” is a revisionist Western that takes our collective guilt connected to slavery and channels it into a heroic fantasy of eternal love and blood-soaked reparations. “Inglorious Basterds” scalps Nazis and gives WWII the ending it deserved.

The Hummingbird Wannabe The tale of the moth that looks like a beloved bird

By Jim Anderson Janelle Orsillo

whys and wherefores of insect photography. Janelle was/is a very bright young lady and caught on quickly. We shot a couple of insects close by. I thought she was ready to go, and away she went.

As we neared the end of the butterfly count route, near Big Summit Prairie, I was about 50 yards from Janelle and her group of young people when I heard one of them exclaim, “Oh, look at the beautiful hummingbird!”

In my book, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time for hummingbirds, so I knew something was off base. I happened to have my binoculars around my neck, so I focused in on the group. I watched as Janelle stooped over to see what someone was calling a hummingbird. Then, suddenly I caught an image of a brilliant sparkle of wings.

I didn’t know what they had going on, but it had to be something I had never seen in that spot before, so I hot-footed it over to them. The closer I got the more that sparkling image began to become something more recognizable. Then, at about 10 feet from her, I watched Janelle raise the camera and slowly move toward the subject.

She got closer and closer and by the time I arrived at the scene I could see a brand new—freshly emerged—Clearwing hummingbird moth hovering in a flower blossom. My first instinct was to snatch the camera away from her and shoot that magnificent moth myself.

After all, it was an insect I had never seen before—a “lifer,” if you will.

But better judgement took over and I whispered, “Go get it dear heart! Shoot it!” And she did. Oh boy! Did she ever!

Above, at right, is the Clear-wing hummingbird moth, aka Hawk moth, aka Sphinx moth.

Every one of the images she put on the memory card of that old Canon was a winner. I can’t understand why it didn’t take and she’s a professional museum photographer today. But in any event, I’ll always be grateful to her every time I look at those images.

So, let’s talk for a little about hummingbird… aka sphinx moths…

The one most noticeable right now is the Lined hummingbird moth, found from Canada to Central America. They feed on a number of plants and are one of the more colorful pollinators of a wide variety of wildflowers and domestic plants. Like most hummingbird moths, they don’t stay in one place very long, but zip between flowers pretty rapidly.

The caterpillar is very distinctive; it can be green or black and has a very

obvious spike sticking up from the rear of the animal that looks pretty deadly. But it’s not! It’s a device to scare off predators, and I’ve heard people exclaim about how deadly it looks, so that works to keep humans away as well.

The most obvious hummingbird moth larva is the Tomato hornworm. It’s very destructive to tomato plants and not at all enjoyable to find in one’s greenhouse. Be that as it may, our wild sphinx moths are beautiful to observe as they zip around in our flower gardens, or just plain old sagebrush and rabbitbrush backyard.

Oh, if you happen to come upon my favorite, the Clear-wing hummingbird moth, please send me a note and let me know when and where: jimnaturalist@ gmail.com. If you want to include your photo, please, by all means, do so.

ell, good people, hummingbird moths are in season. Yes, they can fool you; some people think they’re actually hummingbirds, while others don’t know what they are, as evidenced by an email I received the other day with the question, “What, pray tell is this?”

But before we go into the what, why, where and when of hummingbird moths, I gotta share one of the events that took place years back.

All through my professional life I’ve had the good fortune to work with young people, introducing them to various components of the natural world around us. This really got started during the years I was staff naturalist for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland, and when I started the Sunriver Nature Center—or as Bob Royston, the landscape architect, called it, The Ecologium.

What all this amounted to is that I was standing in the right place at the right time when the young person was not only ready and willing to learn, but was seeking a greater understanding of the world of nature around them.

Take the young lady who shot the hummingbird moth photo here. This came about while I was out on a North American Butterfly Association count with my wife, Sue, in the Ochocos.

Janelle came up to me and asked, “Jim, I would like to learn to take photographs of insects. Can you help me?”

That sounded like a wonderful idea to me, so I got my camera rigged up with the close-up lens and we sat down in the shade of an aspen tree and started on the

Increased Home Security: Incorporated security and surveillance features provide reassurance that a home is safe when people are away. Remotely controlled locks and viewing security cameras throughout the home will help with the “Did I remember to...?” moments and people can even receive notifications if an alert goes off.

Control Appliances: This feature lets people automatically start coffee in the morning, preheat the oven on the way home, or set oven temperatures and timers to prevent overcooking or undercooking dinner.

Habit Monitoring: The oven can report when someone’s eaten too many frozen pizzas. A TV can let users know when it’s time to turn off the boob tube and pick up a book or go outside.

Easy Device Management: Smart home apps give people the flexibility to add appliances and devices as people make new additions to a home.

Smart homes can bring big value.

Beyond the obvious cool technology and modern conveniences, a smart home provides additional peace of mind through monitored security systems and makes home life more comfortable and energy efficient without even “thinking” about it.

T

he smartphone is one of the most influential and widely used technology devices today. We’ve watched them grow in popularity since the early 2000s, and now everyone—and their kids—seem to have one. It’s predicted that within this coming decade we’ll see the rise of the smart home—a “connected home” that works together as one system. A smartphone can remotely control almost everything in the home, including thermostats, appliances, locks, lights, security cameras and systems, televisions, garage doors and even the blinds.

These fancy tech features used to be for the few who could afford the extra high-priced luxuries, but that’s changing.

Because of the increase in popularity, prices have dropped and a smart home is more affordable than ever. BusinessWire stated that in 2017, 433.1 million smart home devices shipped worldwide, up 27.6% from the previous year. An estimated 939.7 million devices will be shipped in 2022. By the end of 2019, at least 38% of American households will have entered the smart home market. That’s big business, and this is a major up-and-coming industry. These home devices aren’t just a novelty item; there are some legitimate benefits to automating home systems, including: Improved Energy Efficiency: Our personal favorite feature, a smart thermostat learns the household’s schedule and temperature preferences and can suggest the most efficient settings throughout the day. Motorized window coverings can adjust to the amount of direct sunlight

A guy I don’t know well sent me a creepy Facebook message with pervy language. Next, he messaged me a bunch of tantra memes — sex as a celebration, blah, blah, blah. It grossed me out. Why would a guy think he can be so blatantly sexual out of nowhere? What should you say to a guy who does this?

— Yuck When a guy messaging you starts sounding like Rumi or some other ancient elder, it’s usually for good reason — like that he’s short on hookup partners and the market’s way behind in building realistic washable sex robots.

It would be instructive for men who do this to consider sex differences in the appeal of unsolicited genital selfies — sent, for example, by strangers on dating sites. The Kinsey Institute’s Justin Garcia reports that only 5% of women are aroused by unsolicited penis selfies; the vast majority are just grossed out by them.

As for the reception vagina selfies get, a Los Angeles woman sent 37 men on a dating site an unsolicited vagina pic (not hers, one she found on the internet). Three men replied with shirtless pix; seven sent messages about what they’d like to do to the pictured vagina; eight asked for more pix; nine sent penis selfies; and one sent a video that the woman told Metro UK included “a, um, happy ending.”

The difference in men’s and women’s responses to “down there” selfies from strangers makes sense in light of how female emotions seem to have evolved to protect women from becoming single mothers — getting knocked up and then ditched. Research by anthropologist John Marshall Townsend suggests that female emotions push women to look for signs of commitment from a man, even when they know they want nothing more than casual sex with him. This, in turn, probably leads many or most women to be put off by overt sex talk from a man — before there seems to be an emotional connection.

Yet, perhaps due to what anthropologist Donald Symons calls the human tendency “to imagine that other minds are much like our own,” many men whip out the sex talk and the zipperwurst pix for women they barely know.

If a guy who does this is some Tinder rando, you can just block him. But when it’s a male friend or other guy

you’d rather not cut off entirely, you need to be straight with him — like, “Dude, from now on, you gotta keep any messages totally platonic” — and be straight with him again if he tries again. (I mean, come on...if you wanted gross unsolicited sexual comments, you’d wear a halter top and booty shorts to 7-Eleven.)

Having A Bawl

My best friend just got dumped by her boyfriend, and she’s totally devastated. I always thought he was a jerk, but I know saying that won’t help her feel any better. I want to be there for her but don’t know how.

What’s the best thing to say to somebody Amy Alkon who’s heartbroken?

— Lost Assuming she isn’t all “I wanna be alone!” you really just need to show up. You might even bring a little something: “I’m here, and I’ve got dinner.

Very low-carb, too — your ex’s head on a spike.”

The thing is, for many of us, watching somebody sob is uncomfortable along the lines of walking in on them having sex. We are clueless about what to say to the weeping person, and we often use that as reason to bolt or to not show up at all.

To be a better friend than that — to stick around when the going gets sobby — it helps to understand that sadness isn’t some pointless emotional ailment. Like a tire jack, sadness has a function. In evolutionary terms, it’s “adaptive,” meaning that over evolutionary history, it helped solve some of humans’ recurring survival and mating problems. Psychiatrist and evolutionary researcher Randolph Nesse points out in “Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry” that sadness slows us down and often leads us to ponder our choices, which can help us avoid putting our mistakes on endless repeat.

One way you might help your friend is by encouraging her to find meaning in what she went through — that is, to learn from the experience so she can make better romantic choices in the future. However, it may be too early for that. So your immediate job could be pretty simple: You’re an ear that hands her Kleenex and occasionally dispenses cheery thoughts, like the wish that a giant wandering reptile bites off his penis or a hit man dissolves him in lye in a motel bathtub. “Peace ’n’ love, gurl!”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s check in with our

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): How many handcuffs are there in the world? Millions. Yet there are far fewer different keys than that to open all those handcuffs. In fact, in many countries, there’s a standard universal key that works to open most handcuffs. In this spirit, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m designating August as Free Yourself from Your Metaphorical Handcuffs Month.

It’s never as complicated or difficult as you might imagine to unlock your metaphorical handcuffs; and for the foreseeable future it will be even less complicated and difficult than usual for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo figure skater Scott Hamilton won an Olympic gold medal and four World Championships. He was a star who got inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame and made a lot of money after he turned professional. “I calculated once how many times I fell during my skating career—41,600 times,” he testified in his autobiography. “But here’s the funny thing: I also got up 41,600 times. That’s the muscle you have to build in your psyche—the one that reminds you to just get up.” In accordance with current astrological omens, Virgo, I’ll be cheering you on as you strengthen that muscle in your psyche during the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People who sneak a gaze into your laboratory might be unnerved by what they see. You know and I know that your daring experiments are in service to the ultimate good, but that may not be obvious to those who understand you incompletely. So perhaps you should post a sign outside your lab that reads, “Please don’t leap to premature conclusions!

My in-progress projects may seem inexplicable to the uninitiated!” Or maybe you should just close all your curtains and lock the door until your future handiwork is more presentable.

P.S. There may be allies who can provide useful feedback about your explorations. I call them the wounded healers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What’s the story of

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Dear Diary: Last night my Aries friend dragged me to the Karaoke Bowling Alley and Sushi Bar. I was deeply skeptical. The place sounded tacky. But after being there for twenty minutes, I had to admit that I was having a fantastic time. And it just got better and more fun as the night wore on. I’m sure I made a fool of myself when I did my bowling ball imitation, but I can live with that. At one point I was juggling a bowling pin, a rather large piece of sweet potato tempura, and my own shoe while singing Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”—and I don’t even know how to juggle.

I have to admit that this sequence of events was typical of my adventures with Aries folks. I suppose I should learn to trust that they will lead me to where I don’t know I want to go.”

your life? Psychologist James Hillman said that in order to thrive, you need to develop a clear vision of that story. How do you do that? Hillman advised you to ask yourself this question: “How can I assemble the pieces of my life into a coherent plot?”

And why is this effort to decode your biography so important? Because your soul’s health requires you to cultivate curiosity and excitement about the big picture of your destiny. If you hope to respond with intelligence to the questions and challenges that each new day brings, you must be steadily nourished with an expansive understanding of why you are here on earth. I bring these ideas to your attention, Libra, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to illuminate and deepen and embellish your conception of your life story.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide,” wrote psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. I think that description fits many people born under the sign of the Scorpio, not just Scorpio artists. Knowing how important and necessary this dilemma can be for you, I would never glibly advise you to always favor candid, straightforward communication over protective, strategic hiding. But I recommend you do that in the coming weeks. Being candid and straightforward will serve you well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian poet Aracelis Girmay writes, “How ramshackle, how brilliant, how haphazardly & strangely rendered we are. Gloriously, fantastically mixed & monstered. We exist as phantom, monster, miracle, each a theme park all one’s own.” Of course that’s always true about every one of us. But it will be extraordinarily true about you in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be at the peak of your ability to express what’s most idiosyncratic and essential about your unique array of talents and specialties.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometime soon I suspect you will arrive at a crossroads in your relationship with love and sex—as well as your fantasies about love and sex. In front of you: a hearty cosmic joke that would mutate your expectations and expand your savvy. Behind you: an alluring but perhaps confusing call toward an unknown future.

To your left: the prospect of a dreamy adventure that might be only half-imaginary. To your right: the possibility of living out a slightly bent fairy tale version of romantic catharsis. I’m not here to tell you what you should do, Capricorn. My task is simply to help you identify the options.

at DRAKE PARK BEND, OREGON

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In his poem “Wild Oats,” poet W. S. Merwin provided a message that’s in perfect alignment with your current astrological needs: “I needed my mistakes in their own order to get me here.” He was not being ironic in saying that; he was not making a lame attempt to excuse his errors; he was not struggling to make himself feel better for the inconvenience caused by his wrong turns. No! He understood that the apparent flubs and miscues he had committed were essential in creating his successful life. I invite you to reinterpret your own past using his perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Even if you’re an ambidextrous, multi-gendered, neurologically diverse, Phoenician-Romanian Gemini with a fetish for pink duct tape and an affinity for ideas that no one has ever thought of, you will eventually find your sweet spot, your power niche, and your dream sanctuary. I promise. Same for the rest of you Geminis, too. It might take a while. But I beg you to have faith that you will eventually tune in to the homing beacon of the mother lode that’s just right for you. P.S.: Important clues and signs should be arriving soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): What would a normal, boring astrologer tell you at a time like now?

Maybe something like this: “More of other people’s money and resources can be at your disposal if you emanate sincerity and avoid being manipulative. If you want to negotiate vibrant compromises, pay extra attention to good timing and the right setting. Devote special care and sensitivity to all matters affecting your close alliances and productive partnerships.” As you know, Cancerian, I’m not a normal, boring astrologer, so I wouldn’t typically say something like what I just said. But I felt it was my duty to do so because right now you need simple, basic, no-frills advice. I promise I’ll resume with my cryptic, lyrical oracles next time.

CBD: Super legal and great …Except when it’s not WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / AUGUST 1, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

42

By Josh Jardine Courtesy Vaping360, Flickr

As CBD products expand their popularity, lawmakers are slow to address their legality.

C

annabis, and the devil’s cannabinoid, THC, are all the rage, but hemp and CBD are rapidly gaining as just as much attention and investment.

The passage of the Farm Bill in December, which made hemp farming legal, led many to assume that hemp and CBD would immediately be freed from the concerns and regulations imposed upon THC. That was not the case, and it’s been a baffling mix of seizures and arrests for those both producing and possessing CBD products, and outdated rules from the federal regulatory agencies.

In March, the National Law Review posted a piece clarifying the Hemp/CBD related parts of the Farm Bill, starting with the point that, “Any cannabis plant or product that contains more than 0.3 percent THC will still be considered marijuana under federal law.”

So, CBD products with more than .3% THC are drugs, subject to each state’s laws involving cannabis, and because they are classified as drugs, can’t leave the state in which they are produced.

The Food and Drug Administration has the authority to “regulate products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and that it will treat those products as it does any other FDA-regulated product.” The FDA also explained that it's not down with the proliferation of CBD products claiming to have “therapeutic benefits,” and those marketed “in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of diseases (such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, psychiatric disorders and diabetes)” are considered “new drugs,” and need to go through the very lengthy and expensive FDA drug approval process.

Then there are state laws. Recently officials in Reno, Nevada—the living embodiment of “SMH,” aka “shaking my head,” seized 3,000 pounds of

CBD-infused chocolate. LiveKaya chocolates had been distributed in 35 states until June, when officials explained they were seizing all 1.5 tons of the chocolates, as the FDA does not have CBD listed as a “safe food additive.”

Since Reno hasn’t yet developed CBD rules, they’re going by federal rules.

The goods sit in a refrigerated warehouse while court challenges continue.

In North Carolina, the House is considering a measure that would ban the sale of smokable hemp, arguing that because hemp and cannabis flowers look and smell identical, law enforcement can’t tell the difference. (If that’s true for your weed, I’m sorry.)

“As long as smokable hemp is legal for use and sale in North Carolina, marijuana laws are virtually unenforceable,” said one bill supporter from the Association of Police Chiefs. The N.C. hemp industry offered to pay new taxes to fund the purchase of equipment to help law enforcement to distinguish between the two—like a Kickstarter campaign for Barney Fife.

The creation of new rules for CBD at the federal level is moving slowly, despite pressure from elected officials.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden called out the FDA’s recent announcement that it would take three to five years for the complete rules to be written. Wyden said that time frame was “fully unacceptable” and that “...regulatory confusion and uncertainty surrounding CBD cannot continue for that length of time.” He urged an “enforcement discretion guidance” by Aug 1. (The USDA will release new rules for Hemp producers in August as well.)

The FDA recently received over 4,400 comments regarding adding CBD in food and supplements during a public comment period. They now say their initial report will be out by the fall.
