T

he president has long taken a hardline stance against asylum seekers and undocumented people entering and living in this country. But with the advent of the Department of Homeland Security’s changes to its public charge rule, the president is casting his net wider—taking aim at the people seeking to obtain legal permanent residency in this country. If you thought this recent action will not affect you or will have little effect on the local economy, think again.

As people who would otherwise be taking responsibility for their own health and the health of their children begin to shy away from public programs, expect local health care providers, grocery stores, landlords and other businesses to suffer.

The new public charge rule can and will have an effect on Central Oregonians.

On Aug. 12, the Trump administration announced its expanded public charge rule, scheduled to take effect Oct. 15. With it, those seeking legal permanent residency in the U.S. will receive a “negative weighted factor” on their residency applications if they are found to have participated in programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, housing assistance, Medicaid-funded long-term care and other types of Medicaid. They’ll also get strikes against them if they haven’t graduated high school, for having a larger family size, for being of advanced age, or for being lower income. Get enough “strikes” like the ones named here, and an applicant could be denied legal residency. This goes far beyond the criteria established in our nation over the past century.

This targets low-income people, those less educated, and people who have more kids. Once legal status is achieved, immigrants have historically gone on to start their own businesses, become educated within our nation’s system, and raise their children inside our education system.

One of the most troubling facets of this change lies in health care. By way of the Oregon Health Plan, Oregon expanded its Medicaid program, which, as of July 2108, covered 963,773 people in the state.

(That number includes children. Kids’ program are not affected by the expanded public charge rule.) Expanding Medicaid in Oregon resulted in a 53% reduction in the uninsured rate from 2013 to 2017, according to data from healthinsurance. org. This has helped hospitals contain costs and improve overall health outcomes in the state.

Under the new public charge rule, some of the people currently enrolled in programs such as these are likely to decide to drop from the program, in fear that they—or one of their family members who may one day apply for residency, and who they may support—may be denied residency because of their enrollment. It might save the federal government some money in the short-term, but when those people are forced into local emergency

rooms to deal with medical issues that they haven’t addressed, it’s going to cost health care providers more in uncompensated care costs.

“Health care is not a cash assistance benefit,” wrote the Oregon Health Authority in an Aug. 13 release. “Good health is the foundation for thriving, economically independent people, families and communities. This proposal punishes immigrants for taking responsibility for their health, the health of their loved ones and their neighbors by seeking health care. It fails to acknowledge that in a growing majority of states (like Oregon), which have expanded Medicaid, a high percentage of Medicaid members work, earn income and support themselves without public assistance.”

This does not factor in the number of people who will shy away from food stamp programs—there to support families who may be temporarily experiencing shortages—which feed people and support their health. The Oregon Food Bank is expecting an increase in the numbers of people who will access their dropin food pantries following this rule, while also acknowledging that some will stay away for fear that food pantries, too, may be places where immigrants will be targeted, suggested Jeff Kleen, public policy advocate at the private, not-for-profit Oregon Food Bank.

The Department of Homeland Security admits this will negatively affect not just immigrants, but U.S. citizens, and yet it has moved forward.

In its own analysis of the proposed changes, DHS stated that the rule could result in: • “Worse health outcomes, including increased prevalence of obesity and malnutrition, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women, infants, or children, and reduced prescription adherence; • Increased use of emergency rooms and emergent care as a method of primary health care due to delayed treatment; • Increased prevalence of communicable diseases, including among members of the U.S. citizen population who are not vaccinated; • Increases in uncompensated care in which a treatment or service is not paid for by an insurer or patient • Increased rates of poverty and housing instability.

In a community that has already experienced a measles scare this year, this is not the direction we need to go. In a community that already experiences housing instability, we don’t need more of it.

This is an all-out attack on immigrants— and their children—in our community, and locals should take note. Short of voting out this president, we recommend donating to the local food bank, NeighborImpact, or to local groups supporting recent immigrants, including the Latino Community Association and CAUSA, Oregon’s immigrant rights organization.

RACISM

This is a message to the people of Central Oregon: business owners, city government officials, leaders of all sorts, helpers of all sorts, all ages, all races. It is time to stand up and speak out against racism. If you love Trump or are a Republican, that is fine. Please understand that you support a racist organization.

We gotta stand up to it. We have to spread the word that racism is crap. It is time to draw a line in the sand. I want to support businesses that love equality. I want to feel safe when I go to a public event. I don’t feel safe when I see a Trump flag. The racists are doing a good job of getting their message out and inviting people in.

DEMON FROM HELL

Trump is a demon from hell, literally. And as he trashes the Constitution, Democracy, the United States, ad nauseam, he is laughing all the way to the bank. At everyone. Including his comatose braindead groupie sheeples.

Why doesn’t ICE ever raid any of Trump’s properties across the U.S., where it is common knowledge he has employed tens of thousands of undocumented workers over the years and continues to do so? The miscreant scumbag in chief has a crew of undocumented workers who are specialists at masonry and other upscale work, and they travel around the country doing whatever finishing work is needed at bozo’z various properties. While Trump sends ICE out to round up undocumented workers by the hundreds at a time, he is employing them to work for him. This unempathetic hooligan thinks he is untouchable and can stand above the law because he knows his idiot followers will follow him, no matter what he does, even straight to hell. And that is just where he’s taking them, and the country as well.

STILL POOPING ON HER

She has a job, done well, which is to keep us alive, but we just continue to ignore her needs.

Mother Earth could quit her job one day.

Recycling. Great buzz word, but how many of us really pay attention to the protocol? A material either IS or IS NOT recyclable.

For three decades we sold our “recyclables” to China—a now defunct program because the intended reusable waste was consistently contaminated. So now we are topping-up our landfills or incinerating (as in Chester, PA, where ovarian cancer is 64% higher than the rest of the state and lung cancer 24% higher).

Dear Mom, we are sorry, but frankly, we don’t give a crap.

Today, while doing the waste cans routine, I was (again) appalled at my 30-something-aged neighbors who’d filled their recycling can with 80% non-recyclables. So I put it all in my waste can (again). Interesting, when such things are not punitive they get less attention.

My plea: let’s all wake up, get informed and do our part. We collectively own the outcome.

POPULATION, IN RESPONSE TO “AT HOME ON PUBLIC LANDS,” 8/8

When some people get in debt, they cut back on spending. Others continue to overspend and borrow to cover the increasing debt. The latter is what you are doing if you disperse people in nature to alleviate crowding. (Aug. 10 Source article.) You are not dealing with the problem of a rising population of humans which is not sustainable.

Global warming is thought to be caused by the activities of almost 8 billion people on this earth and, at the rate we are growing, we shall have 9 billion by the end of the century. Studies have shown that global warming could be slowed by reducing population growth. Political leaders and the news media are loathe to even discuss the subject. As long as this is true, all the efforts to mitigate the negative effects of population growth are simply short term. This includes gas efficient cars, reducing carbon emissions, more efficient lighting and dispersing campers in nature. You would think we would be smarter.

Years ago I was able to convince management at Ace Hardware to remove glue traps from their shelves by writing a letter that pointed out the gruesome cruelty. Since then the traps have been reinstated because customers requested them.

A person needs the essential quality of empathy to be able to imagine not only the pain and suffering but the panic, despair and long dying process involved in meeting one’s end in such a trap. How a person can sleep at night while a live animal is experiencing this horror in their trash is beyond me.

I too have had a mouse problem. I captured them in live traps, released them as quickly as possible into a bucket of straw (the straw reduces their anxiety by 99%), provided water and food until I had a chance to take them out to the wilderness where they can live out their lives or become essential food for owls and predators. Sure, it took more time and effort but I consider that time well spent. Subsequently, I’ve kept my garage mouse-free using the plug-in devices that generate an electrical signal rodents don’t like. Problem solved.

Ace Hardware has again agreed to remove the glue traps from their shelves. They still provide lethal traps as well as humane options. I would like to hereby publicly thank Jeff Paulson and Ace Hardware for saying NO to torture, something Home Depot, Lowes etc. has yet to do. Ultimately however, it is YOU the consumer who has the power to “Be the generation that ends the violence.”

City of Bend

East side work looks to improve Murphy Road, 15th Street

By Hilary Corrigan

R

oad work continues on Bend’s east side as part of an effort to give drivers more options to cross the city and to help walkers and cyclists get around more safely and easily.

The City of Bend started a portion of its Murphy Corridor Improvements Project last week. The total project, costing about $32 million, aims to improve transportation in southeast Bend. It entails rebuilding the segment of Murphy Road from Brosterhous Road west to Parrell Road; extending Murphy Road from Brosterhous Road east over the BNSF Railway line to 15th Street, with a new bridge over the railroad tracks; adding and improving sidewalks in the area; and building three new roundabouts on Murphy Road—at the intersections of Country Club Drive, Brosterhous Road and 15th Street. Money for the project comes mostly from the city’s transportation fund, with some from water, stormwater and Americans with Disabilities Act funds and from the Bend Park & Recreation District.

The work that just started includes construction of the 15th Street roundabout, plus sidewalks along 15th Street

All applicants must attend an information session on one of the following dates BEFORE applying: • Thursday, August 29, 5-7pm DPL, Eastside • Saturday, September 21, 10am - Noon DPL, Downtown *All orientations will be held at the Deschutes Public Library *A Spanish interpreter will be vailable upon request.

from Chloe Lane north to Ferguson Road.

The southbound side of 15th Street will close to traffic in that area, although northbound will remain open, as work continues through October.

Work could start next year on extending Murphy Road; constructing the bridge over the railroad tracks; reconstructing Murphy from Parrell Road to Brosterhous Road, making it three lanes instead of two and adding sidewalks and bike lanes; and building the other two roundabouts, according to Garrett Sabourin, project engineer with the City of Bend. All three new roundabouts will be single-lane, although the ones at Brosterhous Road and 15th Street could be expanded in the future, Sabourin said.

Sabourin expects that extending Murphy Road from Brosterhous Road to 15th Street will especially help emergency services, since responders won’t have to rely so much on Country Club Drive or Brosterhous Road.

City officials also expect the sidewalk construction along 15th Street from Chloe Lane north to Ferguson Road to help create a safe pedestrian route in the area, as part of a larger plan. That includes

coordinating with the Bend Park & Recreation District on its planned Alpenglow Community Park, a 37-acre site just off 15th Street, south of Ferguson Road.

Construction on that park could start in 2021. But during outreach efforts over the past couple of years on that planned park, community input emphasized “wanting to be able to walk, bike or run to the park” rather than having to drive there, said Ian Isaacson, project manager with the Bend Park & Recreation District. The district identified gaps in the area’s pedestrian network, including sidewalks north of the Central Oregon Irrigation District canal, and wanted to ensure that ongoing projects— including a new high school at 15th Street and Knott Road—lined up their pedestrian paths with one another, Isaacson said.

To coincide with the Murphy Corridor Improvements Project, the district sped up its plans to build a standalone pedestrian bridge over the COID Canal on the west side of 15th Street, parallel to the existing

vehicle bridge, just north of the park site, Isaacson said. It will resemble similar pedestrian bridges at Farewell, Riverbend and First Street Rapids parks, he said. The district aims to build that pedestrian bridge this winter or early next year, before the rest of the park, so it can open sometime in the spring, Isaacson said. The district also plans a 10-foot wide asphalt pedestrian trail south along 15th Street, down to Knott Road.

Currently, pedestrians have to skirt over the vehicle bridge on 15th Street, making for a dangerous situation, Isaacson noted. At a recent City Council meeting, Bend City Council Member Justin Livingston also noted the high speeds and low visibility that pedestrians can face while crossing 15th Street in that area. The city’s work, besides installing the sidewalks to the north, will include a marked pedestrian crossing on 15th Street. Livingston joked that crossing there recently with his children became like a game of Frogger.

“They made it!” he cheered.

Planning Effort Targets Southeastern Oregon

Bureau of Land Management

Environment group questions BLM plan choice

7

By Hilary Corrigan ONDA has warned that Alternative A would simply continue the 2002 plan’s management of the area, without updating based on changes to the landscape seen over the past 17 years—including such factors as climate change, wildfires and endangered and invasive species.

“This area has some of the largest intact wild places that we have left in the lower 48,” said Jeremy Austin, the Hart-Sheldon coordinator with ONDA, who noted how the landscape is vital to sage-grouse and other species such as pronghorn antelope, birds and pygmy rabbits.

The area has more than 1 million acres of lands with wilderness characteristics, areas that warrant more protection, ONDA has argued. The proposed plan also makes no changes to managing OHV use in the area, leaving it open to damage, the group stated, urging restrictions to limit motorized travel to existing routes. ONDA also warned of permanent damage to the environment from grazing. The group urged suspending grazing in areas that fail to meet the agency’s own ecological standards; and setting up a process to let ranchers voluntarily relinquish their grazing permits.

Austin noted that the Southeast Oregon Resource Advisory Council met for nearly a decade to develop a method of identifying areas with wilderness characteristics. Advisory committees function under rules set by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, meant to recognize the merits of getting advice from the nation’s citizens while also ensuring that advice is relevant, objective and

alternative that recognized nearly 417,200 acres of land with wilderness characteristics that warranted protection.

“It’s a little disconcerting to see our recommendation not be part of the preferred alternative,” Weikel said, adding that the RAC speaks as one voice directed only to the agency that it advises.

Weikel noted that protecting lands with wilderness characteristics means limiting certain activities, such as extraction work and road construction, that would preclude them from subsequently meeting the definition of wilderness. She called BLM’s choice of Alternative A puzzling, since it returns to the management in place in 2002 and may wind up back in court.

“These public lands are priceless American heritage,” Weikel said, noting that while national parks get a lot of attention, taking part in managing various different public lands “is a really important part of being an American.”

“There’s a whole lot of land out there that belongs to the public that they don’t even know much about,” Weikel said.

The public comment period closes Aug. 28. BLM could issue a final plan in fall, followed by a protest period before a decision in the winter. For more information, visit http://go.usa.gov/xnsQx.

public and that the committees comply with various cost and record-keeping requirements. According to its website, the Southeast Oregon RAC’s 15 members reflect an array of interests and users of public lands, including grazing permittees, commercial timber, energy and mining, recreation and OHV groups, transportation, conservation, historic and cultural interests, elected officials, tribes, state agencies and academics.

BLM’s proposed plan offers no management framework for the identified areas with wilderness characteristics, Austin said.

“This is the opportunity to do that,” Austin said of the process to amend the plan.

BLM’s proposed plan would essentially “go back to that 2002 plan,” Austin said. “That plan is no longer appropriate.”

ONDA wants to see “a far more balanced approach to how these resources are managed,” Austin said. “The BLM should be adapting over time, not going backward.”

Julie Weikel, who lives south of Burns and served as the wild horse and burro representative on the Southeast Oregon RAC from 2012 to 2018, called that RAC a particularly involved and active one, and noted surprise at BLM’s proposed plan. The RAC had supported a different

he public has another week to help craft an update to the plan that manages a chunk of southeastern Oregon.

The Bureau of Land Management is amending its resource management plan for about 4.6 million acres of its public lands in southeastern Oregon.

Federal law directs BLM to develop, maintain, amend and revise land use plans that direct the uses, restrictions and management of lands in the longterm. An amendment updates an existing plan, focusing on a limited set of specific issues. Disagreement over processes involving the Southeastern Oregon Resource Management Plan date back about 20 years, including court cases between BLM and the Oregon Natural Desert Association that resulted in a settlement requiring BLM to amend the plan to address wilderness characteristics, off-highway vehicle use and grazing management, among other factors.

BLM has laid out a few possible plans. Alternatives B, C and D would establish boundary areas and protect different units of lands with wilderness characteristics—large areas that it finds offer outstanding opportunities for solitude or primitive recreation—plus set varying limits on OHV use. Two of those plans would also set additional rules on grazing permits. BLM chose Alternative A that it says continues current management; would set no additional protections for lands with wilderness characteristics; and would continue current management practices on grazing permits and OHV use.

For Disability Activists, 3 Weeks in Oregon is a Game Changer

Until she came to the U.S. this summer, Wendy Beatriz Caishpal Jaco had never been able to board a bus.

Jaco, 29, uses a wheelchair, which buses aren’t able to accommodate in her hometown of Ahuachapán, El Salvador. She finally got on a bus that could handle a wheelchair while attending a NPR program called WILD— the Women’s Institute on Leadership and Disability, held this summer in Eugene, Oregon.

It’s not that El Salvador ignores people with disabilities, she said. For nearly two decades, there has been a law designed to give people with disabilities equal access to jobs and transportation. “[The law] talks about adaptability, inclusion,” Jaco said. “The problem is that there is no follow-up.”

Jaco hopes that WILD will give her the tools and training to further her role as a champion of disability rights and make a change in her country. She is one of 21 women with disabilities from around the world who attended the three-week training program, organized by Mobility International USA. This year’s event, the ninth since its inception, ran from July 13 to Aug. 3. —Aparna Vidyasagar, NPR

Conservation Groups: Trump’s New Rules Threaten Wildlife

Conservationists are accusing the Trump administration of putting the interests of industry — including logging and grazing in the Pacific Northwest — ahead of the survival of the country’s most imperiled wild plants and animals.

The administration’s announced changes Monday to how the Endangered Greg Davis/OPB Species Act will be enforced by federal agencies set off waves of criticism, including vows by several states to challenge the move. Environmental groups also say they may sue to stop the new rules.

Several Oregon species currently being considered for listing under the ESA would be subject to the new rules.

In a release announcing the new rules, the Interior Department said the changes were “designed to increase transparency and effectiveness.”

“The revisions finalized with this rulemaking fit squarely within the President’s mandate of easing the regulatory burden on the American public, without sacrificing our species’ protection and recovery goals,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross in the release. —Jes Burns, OPB

Grapes of Change: How the Wine Industry has Transformed Oregon’s Economy

McMINNVILLE, Ore. — McMinnville, 1971. When a handful of pioneering farmers bought land on the outskirts of this modest rural town and decided to plant wine grapes, people called them crazy.

Wine grapes wouldn’t grow in the Northwest, they said.

Third Street in McMinSierra Dawn McClain/Capital Press nville, 2019. People scuttle between high-end boutiques, local businesses and fine dining. Baskets of petunias hang from lamp posts like colorful chandeliers. And on the corner where a JCPenney store once stood, there’s a wine tasting room.

In this growing city where urban and rural worlds intersect, the wine industry has signed its autograph. In 2016 alone, Yamhill County, of which McMinnville is the seat, raked in more than $15 million in wine-related property taxes.

Michael Rogers, resident of McMinnville since 1976, has watched the transformation.

Are You an A-Fibber?

A local runner and cyclist shares his story of receiving a common heart-related diagnosis

By Bill Mintiens Could you be an A-Fibber?

Apparently having run five Boston Marathons, one New York Marathon (2:37 in 1981…OK, so it was 38 years ago…), numerous road and trail races and even the very first Bend marathon (at age 50, 16 years ago) isn’t enough to inoculate me from a recent diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, called AFib for short.

Turns out that lots of older people, not just endurance athletes (who like to go out and hammer) are being diagnosed with irregular heart rhythms that can cause heart palpitations, fatigue and shortness of breath.

And it’s not just runners experiencing it. Cyclists, swimmers and other endurance athletes can also experience symptoms, and are either being diagnosed with AFib or, worse yet, aren’t aware of the potential seriousness of their symptoms.

For the past two years, until this past July when I was diagnosed, I’ve suffered dizziness, low blood pressure and weakness in my extremities either during or immediately after running or road cycling. I thought it was everything from dehydration to poor conditioning to caffeine. (Yep, I’m really good at denial.)

According to the Cleveland Clinic, atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm abnormality.

Between 2.7 and 6.1 million Americans are affected by AFib, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, including less than 2% of people under age 65. And while it’s often a

Myth busted This was not supposed to happen to we baby boomers. Back in the ‘70s it was generally believed that endurance activities would strengthen and

Another myth busted. mere annoyance, it is responsible for 15 to 20% of all strokes, according to the CDC. It can also be responsible for life-threatening medical emergencies that result in cardiac arrest and even sudden death.

According to a description from the American Heart Association: “Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat. In atrial fibrillation, the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat irregularly (quiver) instead of beating effectively to move blood into

protect our hearts as we aged.

Guess what, Bucko: that myth got busted years ago.

Jim Fixx authored the 1977 best-selling book, “The Complete Book of Running.” Credited with helping start America’s fitness revolution, Fixx popularized the sport of running and demonstrated the health benefits of regular jogging.

He died from a heart attack in 1984, at age 52.

Dr. Nicholas Buss is an interventional cardiologist with the St.

a bad thing. “Remodeling is a fancy way of saying that the heart restructures itself to be more efficient,” added Buss.

The medical community is quick to say that our parents’ genes play a critical role in determining the inherited health issues we may encounter. According to Buss, AFib is not one of those inherited issues with older folks.

“Some people advocate that there are inherited forms of AFib, but we would argue that, if it does happen, it’s in people at a far younger age.”

So should we aging baby boomers with AFib retire our nice soft Hoka shoes and switch to biking or swimming?

Not so fast, says Buss. “Generally, there is no hard and fast rule that says biking is worse than running is worse than swimming regarding the onset of AFib.” The benefits of lifelong exercising help aging athletes stay in tune with their bodies.

“The nice thing about athletes, in general, is that they’re being active, as opposed to people who are inactive. Athletes are pretty tuned into when something is not quite right,” said Buss.

doing in terms of physical activity, and you’re developing symptoms that are atypical for you—shortness of breath, chest pain, lightheadedness at a time in your workout that you would otherwise not anticipate having any of those issues—that would be the time to bring it up to your primary doctor.”

So should all athletes, especially older folks, buy and use wrist heart monitors to track their heart rate?

“There’s been a lot of information recently out there about AFib and the Apple Watch. Sometimes I think these things can be information overload. But, if an athlete is wearing a heart monitor for training purposes, that’s fine. But, in general, continuous monitoring to look for these things can push us to the other side, where someone is constantly worried, looking for something wrong.”

Bottom line: If you’re feeling “off,” talk with your primary care physician.

“If something is going wrong, have a very low threshold to bring

“The diagnosis of atrial fibrillation has become more common in the world. Part of this is because people are living longer, the population is getting older and part of it is because our detection methods are becoming better.”

Charles Health System in Bend. He’s seeing AFib cases on the rise.

“In general, the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation has become more common in the world. Part of this is because people are living longer, the population is getting older and part of it is because our detection methods are becoming better,” said Buss.

AFib is not solely a condition brought on by exercise. “In the U.S. this is the most common arrhythmia in people over age 65—whether they are or are not an endurance athlete,” he added.

Turns out that even healthy people, whether they exercise or not, can develop short bursts of atrial fibrillation when they are very sick.

And here’s another interesting factoid: AFib occurs more in women than in men.

“Again, irrespective of the endurance sport aspect, I see this more frequently in women than in men,” said Buss.

But back to endurance athletes and the occurrence of AFib. Don’t we have larger, stronger hearts with low resting heart rates that pump enormous amounts of blood to the muscles that need it?

Sure, we do—but Buss notes there are exceptions. “There are some people who do super endurance things; they have very low resting heart rates and the heart remodels itself in a way that potentially precipitates things like AFib.” So this “remodeling” of the heart is both a good thing—and potentially

Bluegrass & Podcasts

The former front man of Nickel Creek is paving new ground

By Isaac Biehl Jason Quigley

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 34 / AUGUST 22, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

S

ean Watkins has been playing music for a long time. From starting Nickel Creek when he was 12, playing variety type shows with the Watkins Family Hour and now moving out into solo projects, Watkins has definitely made the rounds, with each stop leaving an impression that has helped him grow.

“I had no idea that I would ever do music as a profession,” says Watkins as he recalls first starting music with piano lessons at age 7. “My piano teacher’s son was a mandolin player and had a weekly bluegrass show he would put on at a pizza place, which we would go to. So, I eventually fell in love with bluegrass and acoustic music.”

He and his eventual Nickel Creek bandmate, Chris Thile, learned from the same music teacher, first meeting at the ages of 9 (Watkins) and 5 (Thile). Joining them would be Watkins’ little sister, Sara, who was the same age as Thile. Even before Watkins was a teenager, Nickel Creek was starting to become a thing.

The group started out playing on the weekends and making random appearances at festivals, growing to become more than they ever thought possible.

“We got out of high school and our voices stabilized and we started making records and touring really regularly,” says Watkins. “It’s been a really wild ride and I’m just very grateful to get to do this for a living.”

After a very successful tenure with Nickel Creek (the band won a Grammy in 2002 for Best Contemporary Folk Album), Watkins is now out on a new path, navigating the solo world for a couple of years.

15

Bluegrass wasn’t the norm in Southern California, but Sean Watkins fell in love with the genre regardless.

“My relationship with playing music for audiences has always been through the lens of a band. With that comes a lot of fun and shared responsibility for the success and non-successes. So, it makes it easier in a band when maybe a show doesn’t go well or a record doesn’t do as well as you hoped,” Watkins says of the transition. “When you’re solo it’s just your name behind it. So, it’s a little taxing at times—but it’s also really rewarding to know you can do something like this on your own.”

Currently on a quick West Coast run with The Bee Eaters, the two acts have actually been working on a new

album together—half of which was recorded on a farm in Santa Barbara, California, and the other in a studio in Portland, Oregon. This collaboration marks the first time Watkins has recorded a solo album with the same band the whole way through.

“This will be a major return to my roots and the music I grew up with. It’s the most personal, to me, recording that I’ve ever made. When I play with them it’s really wild and fun.”

The release for Watkins’ next album, to be titled “This Is Who We Are,” is going to be quite unique. He tells the Source that he plans to put it out as not

just an album, but a podcast as well.

Each episode will feature a song as the main point of discussion as Watkins is joined by people who relate to each piece of music. Watkins says he hopes to release it “in the next month or so,” so be sure to keep an eye and ear out.

Seeing Dame Jr. ride in his own whip on the cover is just icing on the cake for “Big D.O.L.L.A.”

W

hen he isn’t busy hitting bigtime buzzer beaters over Paul George, or being a father, you can probably find Damian Lillard in the studio rapping his a** off. The Portland Trail Blazers’ starting point guard now officially has three albums under his belt with the release of his latest effort, “Big D.O.L.L.A.” While you’ve probably heard the jokes about athletes trying to rap in the past, Lillard is one of the few who are actually good at the trade and have made a stable foundation in the industry. For someone who spends most of the year traveling and pushing his body to the limits, the time he does have to use as a hip-hop artist clearly isn’t wasted.

“Big D.O.L.L.A.” is Lillard’s best work to date by far. It seems fitting, as it comes following his most prolific and successful NBA season as both a player and team. After sitting with the album for a little while, here are my four favorites from the project, and what makes them each stand out.

“Money Ball” feat. Jeremih, Danny from Sobrante & Derrick Milano Firstly, if you throw a Jeremih feature on a track I’m probably going to like it. But more than that, this might be the song with the most radio success potential from Lillard. It’s smooth and a total flex: “Getting’ money ain’t new to me,” sings Jeremih on the hook. The song is a total group effort, which may be what makes it so fun in the first place.

“Cupid” This track makes the list because it’s great to hear Lillard flowing solo and be this captivating. He has this laidback style to his tone that’s inviting and easy to listen to. This is the track for people who don’t want any extra frills or additives; “Cupid” is just Lillard rapping over a classic West Coast beat, being himself.

“Beach” feat. Derrick Milano This might be my #1 on the album…

Lillard sounds poetic praising his girl here, preaching to do anything for her—even “bringing sand to the beach.” In the heat of summer, this is the type of jam you need to have in rotation. “I been shootin’ for a minute this a kill shot,” raps Lillard as he not only references his knack for the longball, but his pursuit at this chance of love.

“Check” “All about the check / No Nike,” says Lillard as he professes his knack for securing a bag and proclaims his loyalty to Adidas. While soft-spoken for most of the time and letting his game do the talking on the court, it’s great to hear Lillard let his mouth run a little here. Always the underdog, “Check” celebrates Lillard’s talents and grind to get to where he’s at today: Nothing given, everything earned.

Overall, “Big D.O.L.L.A.” is a solid album. It’s clear Lillard has thrown a little extra finesse into this one, leaning more on that summer time R&B vibe, which ultimately works out in his favor.

You can listen to “Big D.O.L.L.A” on all streaming platforms.

CULTURE

‘La Cage’ promises glitz, glamour… and humanity Theater in the Park returns with full-scale “La Cage aux Folles,” centered around a drag queen club

Mejaski noted the special challenges of presenting the show in Drake Park. “There are quite a few challenges being in the park,” she concedes. “We don’t have any ‘lights down.’ We’ve actually taken out a few scene changes and bled them into each other. For example, in one of the scenes, Georges is in the club. When he’s done introducing La Cage, rather than the lights going down, he simply walks into the next scene, takes off his jacket, hangs it up and he’s in his apartment. It’s the same thing as almost the entire company goes into Chez Jacqueline,” she continues. “The cafe is not set up, so we all have a piece—a chair, a table. We all walk in and set the scene, sit down and get in character.”

Another limitation is the small stage, Mejaski adds, which has no wings for entry and exit. “There is no place for the actors to stand where they can see what’s happening before their entrances,” she explains. “They’re going on blind, just by listening and hearing their cues.”

Mejaski says she’s enjoyed seeing the actors develop their characters to a point where their personalities come across vividly on the stage. One scene in particular, she says, brings depth to a character that doesn’t normally get much notice.

“The character Marie Dindon (portrayed by Laura Lee Coffman) is very much in the background. She has a husband who is a little overbearing and overpowering, yet she has these moments that show her strength. The way that Laura Lee has taken this, it

becomes one of my favorite moments in the show. Just this simple eye roll she gives Dindon behind his back. She has created this moment that would otherwise be dismissed, or not there at all.”

“La Cage” is full of glitz and glamour, Mejaski says, but what lies beneath is a timely message about our essential humanity, our common desire for love and acceptance. “One of the reasons why I chose this particular musical,” she says, “is that I would like to celebrate acceptance and pride. Even though the show is filled with glamour, these beautiful costumes and extravagant makeup, the underlying message through all of it is that love is love, and to be true to yourself.

“We have Jean Michel asking his parents, who have given him nothing but love and support his whole life, to please pretend like they’re someone else,” she explains. “In the end, the truth is told:

Donald Yatomi

Hawaii, relocated to Bend 14 years ago with his family to work for Sony.

The life he’s lived in Central Oregon shows up on the canvas. While other artists paint the skies and the mountains so many people love, Yatomi is painting the places people live, day to day. While the subject matter might be dismissed as the ordinary, it’s through Yatomi’s style and unique eye that they become poetic, dream-like, and alive, as if seeing a memory from the past come to life.

Yatomi’s paintings are currently on display at Peterson Roth Gallery through the end of August.

Painting the unseen

D

onald Yatomi has three rules dictating whether he’ll paint a subject. One, the space must be unromantic. Two, he must not have seen it on any canvas before, and three, it should carry nostalgia.

The rules prove to work, as Yatomi masterfully paints worlds people know—but ones the ordinary eye may dismiss. Yatomi turns the unromantic romantic, painting airports and urinals, arcades and laundromats in exciting and illuminating ways.

“When I go around town, I see certain things—I imagine them on a canvas and if it is interesting enough, I will go back to that same spot and do sketches,” shares Yatomi. “Sometimes it takes a long time and the whole thing gestates until it comes together.”

that Mother is a transvestite and that Father is a homosexual, and the two of them are a couple. Nothing good comes from denying who you are, lying about who you are, or asking someone to lie about who you are. Love is love. That’s why I chose the show.”

Mejaski advises coming to the park prepared for the chill that comes after sunset. She also advises bringing a chair pad. VIP tickets are available for those who’d like a meal before the show.

Editor’s note: Theater in the Park is produced by Lay It Out Events, the Source Weekly’s sister company.

Donald Yatomi's painting, Carwash 002.

The results are oil paintings that feel alive in the way the light dances throughout his subjects, and in the way Yatomi works with the paint on the canvas. His thick strokes are the results of using varied tools like pallet knives and spatulas as well as brushes.

It’s not surprising to hear that Yatomi holds degrees in both painting and illustration. After his degree in illustration, he began working for DreamWorks Animation, painting backgrounds for “The Prince of Egypt” and “The Road to Eldorado” films. Yatomi, originally from

end’s Summit Express Jazz Band had to call in reinforcements to provide a complete complement for “La Cage aux Folles,” an extravagant musical appearing in Bend’s Drake Park Friday and Saturday. The Theater in the Park production pulls out all the stops: extravagant costumes, makeup, lights, sound and innovation to present the glamourand-glitz-coated treatise on love, acceptance and personal authenticity.

Anyone who has seen “Birdcage” the movie knows the story of Albin and Georges, their son, and his ultra-conservative fiancee—but may not have witnessed the award-winning music and choreography of the live theater version that is “La Cage.” Bend choreographer Michelle Mejaski, whose directorial debut of “Jesus Christ Superstar” enjoyed tremendous success last summer, returns to the director’s chair for “La Cage.”

Vocal direction is provided by Bend vocal instructor Trish Van Camp Sewell.

“With the movie, they took out a lot of the song and dance numbers,” Mejaski says. “With ‘La Cage,’ it is fullon dancing, because it centers around the drag queen club, the La Cage aux Folles,” she explains. “The opening number is the Cagelles, who are the drag kings and queens. Albin, who is also Za Za, has her solos with the Cagelles backing her. Jean-Michel sings about his fiancee Ann; and the two main leads, Albin and Georges, sing together.

It is full of song and dance for all the characters, from top to bottom.”

Rock ‘n Roll to Carts ‘n Pods CHOW From The Podski food cart lot expands with a new 1,000-square-foot building

By Nancy Patterson @eatdrinkbend Nancy Patterson

appetizer of choice, hushpuppies. Thailandia has been cooking up Northern Thai street food in Bend since 2012 and now maintains a permanent residency at The Podski. Big Ski’s Pierogis makes stuffed Polish dumplings with fillings from potato and cheese to chicken and mozzarella with pesto. East Meets West makes their famous “pandos”—a fusion of Korean-style pancakes and sandwiches.

A few new carts have recently joined The Podski family; Earl and Mabel is a keto-friendly cart serving salads, kabobs and skillets. Toasty has vegan-friendly Nancy Patterson

The bar replaces the original Podski beer cart.

T

he Podski was never intended to be a food cart lot. In fact, it started with Mikel Lomsky’s dream of being a rock star. After several years in real estate, he decided that he was burned out. He turned an office inside of the Bakery Building on Galveston Avenue, which he owns, into his personal jam studio. In exchange for below-market rent, the tenants agreed to endure the days of Lomsky’s band practicing at its leisure. But Lomsky knew that this wouldn’t work long term; he began the hunt for a space where he and his band could ignite their artistic dreams.

A vacant lot on Arizona Avenue felt like the right place to commence their journey to rock-stardom. The property included a small shop and a bit more property than

he’d hoped to undertake, but it was the only way to get the band relocated.

“My drummer couldn’t quit his day job, so I convinced him to buy a beer cart and sell brews out of the cart in between practice sessions,” says Lomsky of his business partner, Caleb Trowbridge.

They discovered a small cart for sale that would become the original Podski Beer Cart. But they found that with the consumption of beer often comes the craving for food—cart food. With water hook-ups and just enough space, Lomsky welcomed a handful of food carts into his space, along with Head Over Wheels—a mobile hairdressing trailer.

After a brutal, late-onset winter, it only made sense to take the next step and Nancy Patterson

“I didn’t want to influence the artist’s vision whatsoever—I told him, ‘paint whatever you want, don’t even run it by me,’” Lomsky says. The wall, which includes a painting of Johnny Cash and Homer Simpson, will soon include another surprise element.

While the hair trailer is no longer located at The Podski, several locally-owned food carts have found their home on Arizona Avenue. The Tin Pig offers Southern favorites including fried green tomatoes, Nashville chicken sandwiches, and—my

Be sure to check the schedule for your favorite food cart; Lomsky believes in a balanced work life and doesn’t implement required working hours.

“I wanted to allow my tenants to set their own hours and be here when it worked for them. These are all small business owners; most of the food cart owners are also the cooks, operators, and managers of the cart.”

Bledsoe Family Winery Open in the Box Factory The offerings in The Box Factory in Bend continue to get more extensive.

Next up: Wine.

On Aug. 15, Bledsoe Family Winery opened the doors of its Bend tasting room. The 3,593-square-foot space includes indoor and outdoor areas, a mezzanine for private events and wines from the Doubleback Winery and Bledsoe Family Winery.

Bledsoe Family Winery is owned by Drew and Maura Bledsoe, who moved to Bend 12 years ago following Drew Bledsoe’s retirement from the National Football League. The new tasting room is the family’s first to be opened outside of Walla Walla, Washington—Drew Bledsoe’s hometown, where the family operates Doubleback Winery and the original Bledsoe Family Winery locations.

As Drew Bledsoe said in a release, “Bend has long been a beer and outdoors town, both of which have become interwoven into the fabric of the town. And we felt that the timing is right to pair great wine with the area’s beloved outdoor-oriented culture, too, and to do so in a way that is both unique and fun.”

As Les Schwab’s Move Moves Forward, A New Home for Hardy’s The longtime burger joint on Third Street in Bend is headed for a new home.

Hardy’s Hot Wings Hamburgers & Ice Cream announced on its Facebook page Aug. 15 that it would be moving 2 miles north, to the former Cheerleader’s building at 3081 N. Hwy 97, near The Riverhouse on the Deschutes and the Shilo Inn. The post stated that the new location would be open in September.

The original Hardy’s location is located on the block where Les Schwab Tire Centers applied with the City of Bend to move from its current location on Franklin Avenue. The proposed tire center would take over the entire block. In a document released Aug. 16, City of Bend staff recommended that Les Schwab be allowed to move to that location, and recommended allowing a Development Code text amendment that would remove the property from the City’s Bend Central District—an area where the current code prohibits approval of new “auto-dependent” uses. In the document, city staff contended that because Les Schwab’s Franklin location is already “auto-dependent,” the new location would not add more auto-dependent business to the BCD. The Planning Commission has yet to approve that text amendment.

Drinking Vinegars Revamped

By Lisa Sipe

Lisa Sipe

To spice up summer sipping, turn your tastebuds onto exotic vinegars.

I

nspired by Thailand since a backpacking trip in 1987, Chef Andy Ricker returns to Southeast Asia for several months each year to eat, cook and study the food culture. Ricker is well known as a James Beard award-winning Chef in Portland for his Pok Pok restaurants. While developing the Pok Pok bar program Ricker was influenced by the complexity and flavors of the drinking vinegars he savored in Thailand. He formulated his own vinegars and launched Pok Pok Som, a drinking vinegar company in 2012.

Drinking vinegars, also known as shrubs, switchels or haymaker’s punch, may sound new but were a popular thirst quencher for Colonial settlers and have a long global history from Ancient Greece to China. The sourness in a drinking vinegar is what makes it exciting. Like Samin Nosrat taught us in “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat,” the acid contrasts other flavors, like the sweet fruit in a drinking vinegar, and makes them sing.

Earlier this year Pok Pok was dropped from the name and Som launched with revamped flavors and new packaging featuring artwork inspired by vintage botanical illustrations. No longer labeled as drinking vinegar, the term was rebranded to cane vinegar cordial.

“We wanted to refresh the brand,” said General Manager of Som, Dustin Reuwer, “to make it new, improved and up-to-date. We revisited recipes and revamped flavors to be more complex with less sugar.”

Som comes in a variety of flavors including pineapple Szechuan pepper, Thai basil, tangerine sea salt, ginger, Oregon berry, cranberry, honey, turmeric, tamarind, apple and Hood strawberry. Besides the flavors making Som unique, Reuwer said, “We use a ton of fresh fruit and organic cane

vinegar. It’s not overly sweet or tart, it’s just right and makes the fruit flavor forward. Most shrubs use apple cider vinegar that’s more pungent.”

Regardless of how you like to drink, proofed or not, Som provides an interesting base. Simply adding soda water to any of the flavors gets you a refreshing, sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage. I’m currently addicted to tangerine sea salt sodas. Som sources their Italian salt from Oregon-based Jacobsen Salt Co. who imports it from one of the world’s oldest operating saltworks in Trapani, Italy. Reuwer told me the salt “layers on your tongue and sits around and sticks,” but I didn’t quite believe him until I tried it.

Ginger, one of the two formulas that didn’t change with the rebrand, is a versatile addition to any bar. It can be used to make a bright, spicy and tropical ginger ale, a mule, dark ’n’ stormy or any ginger-based cocktail.

Since it’s summer, margaritas are perfect sippers and the pineapple Szechuan pepper takes the tequila-based cocktail to spicy new levels. The peppery kick is a quick hit so it doesn’t blow out your taste buds. If you want to try Som use the code SOURCE20 for 20% off any order online.

There’s a lot going on with this movie, which is surprisingly poignant and heartfelt without ever becoming cheesy and obvious. Works even for people who don’t care about Springsteen. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DARK PHOENIX: Hey, look, another adaptation of the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” a much beloved comic arc from the 1980s. I wonder if they’ll get it right this time? It can’t be worse than “X-Men: The Last Stand,” can it? Oh, sweet summer child. It can always get worse…especially in Hollywood.

Oh, and she has to head back to the jungle for some Indiana Jones-esque adventures with her new friends and her favorite little animated monkey. Looks cute and annoying at the same time.

PAVAROTTI: Even if you don’t know opera, you’ve probably heard the name Pavarotti, the most famous tenor of all time. He makes everything sound good.

He’s like the Barry White of opera. This is a documentary about his life. I bet he sings in it. Odem Theater Pub SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK:

Based on the book of short stories that gave me nightmares for years comes this mega-disturbing horror anthology from the director of “Troll Hunter.” The trailers look atmospheric and fun, so here’s hoping 2019 brings us another horror classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME: Marvel is fairly

unstoppable at this point, so this new entry in the “Spider-Man” franchise could have Peter Parker sitting on camera reading “Twilight” and it would still make a billion dollars. Plus, this movie is super fun, and Jake G. Is a national treasure. Just sayin. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2: I never saw the first one because it looked like pain, but with a voice cast featuring Jason Sudeikis, Danny McBride, Peter Dinklage, Awkwafina, Bill Hader and Tiffany Haddish, I should probably get over it. I just don’t like birds… even when they’re angry. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN: Based on the tear-jerking novel by Garth Stein, the film is sure to be even more tear-jerking.

Los Angeles rock documentaries have been on a roll over the last few years with classics such as “Sound City” and “The Defiant Ones,” and this looks like another winner. Tin Pan Theater

THE FAREWELL: A bittersweet and lovely dramedy about the lengths we go to for family and the ways different cultures say goodbye. One of the best films of the year so far and destined to go down as the funniest movie about grief ever made.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX., Sisters Movie House

GOOD BOYS: This is basically “Superbad” but with tweens, which means the filthy language and situations is even funnier. I’ve seen some critics lamenting laughing about the corruption of kids in the film, but three 12-year-olds accidentally discovering a sex swing hits me right in the funnies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE KITCHEN: Melissa McCarthy, Elisabeth Moss and Tiffany Haddish star as housewives in Hell’s Kitchen in the 1970s whose husbands all get sent to prison, so they take over their little corner of the city for the Irish mob. A similar story to “Widows,” but with a cast this strong it’s hard to resist. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GLORIA BELL: Julianne Moore gives one of her finest performances as a woman who finds love at a time when she was searching for anything but something serious. A surprising and heartfelt little movie. Odem Theater Pub

THE LION KING: Look, I’m sure this movie is

HOBBS & SHAW: Dwayne Johnson and Jason

Statham take their characters from the “Fast and the Furious” franchise and spin them into another franchise that will then spin into another franchise until the entire world becomes an excuse for Vin Diesel to live life a quarter mile at a time. Big explosions and even bigger stupidity make this movie a fun headache.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema.

HOTEL MUMBAI: An intense and nail-biting recreation of the terrorist attack against the Taj hotel in Mumbai. Odem Theater Pub MIKE WALLACE IS HERE: While this docu-

mentary is focused on newscaster Mike Wallace, the real meat and bones of the film come from watching how the landscape of news reporting has changed over the years. A true revelation as it looks at the constantly changing avenues of human communication. Sisters Movie House

ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD: Either you like Tarantino or you don’t, and this big hearted and strange fantasy won’t change your mind. Simultaneously a love letter to 1969 Hollywood and a dirge for the loss of innocence those times stirred in us as a country, “Once Upon a Time” is a glorious cinematic treasure.

really pretty to look at and everything, but if it doesn’t have Jeremy Irons playing Scar, then I’m gonna make a hard pass. I’m sure I’ll see it at some point, but messing with perfection is never a good idea—even if it’s Disney messing with their own perfect ideas. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

TOY STORY 4: If “Toy Story 3” was about the very

human fear of obsolescence, then “Toy Story 4” focuses on the idea of taking chances in life long past the point where we feel like we have nothing left to offer the world. These movies are dark and sad and weird. I hope Disney and Pixar keep making them— forever. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE: The always stunning Cate Blanchett plays Bernadette, a profoundly unhappy woman who disappears while her husband and daughter search for her. From Richard Linklater, the man behind “Boyhood” and “Dazed and Confused,” comes this dramedy that will divide audiences straight down the middle. See full review on p39. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House YESTERDAY: Director Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting” & “Sunshine”) taking on the concept of a world where no one remembers the Beatles sounds perfect. His films all use music beautifully and his sense of color, light and frame are densely theatrical, so combining his visual style with the Beatles seems like a match made in musical theater heaven.

All Float SCREEN They “47 Meters Down: Uncaged” is shark schlock

By Jared Rasic Courtesy of Entertainment Studios Productions

37 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 34 / AUGUST 22, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

S

hark movies are, at heart, monster movies. Yes, sharks exist in the world and are much different than say, some weird and creepy creature designed by a filmmaking team, but their goal is the same regardless: killing teenagers. Whether it’s a shark, an alligator, Bigfoot or a redneck, they populate horror movies to rack up a body count of attractive people.

“47 Meters Down: Uncaged” is garbage. Terrible performances are compounded by digital cinematography that gives the entire film a generic, low budget look. The dialogue is so wooden and tin eared that we’re unable to care about the cast because they never come across as human beings; just sacrificial lambs waiting for the next shark attack.

Amazingly, the sharks are so badass that it almost makes for a movie worth watching. The slimy story is that four girlfriends who live in Mexico (none of whom are Mexican) all decide to go scuba diving at a recently discovered sunken Mayan city, where they get lost and attacked by sharks.

That should be a killer setup. It’s basically “The Descent,” but underwater, and with a twist: the only light down there is what archeologists brought with them, so most of the film is lit from our characters’ point of view as they desperately search for a way out. This also means the sharks are milky eyed and snaggle toothed, pale and nasty looking and genuinely horrifying to look at.

Every time a shark shows up, it’s extremely intense, but the soundtrack makes one of those “BWAAAAAAAAAMP” sounds like in “Inception,” so it becomes

There’s nothing good down here for people. Just blind sharks.

funny after a while and the sharks all look like old scary blind men that are chasing teenagers out of their Mayan temple— which is hilarious.

The four girls are archetypes: shy white girl, embarrassed black girl, bossy Asian girl and hot white girl. They have no connection to the characters from the original “47 Meters Down,” which means this is a sequel in name only, but it does have a lot more going on in the shark department.

“Uncaged” could have been a minor classic just based on how creepy a blind shark looks, and based on some of the

sequences with the giant creatures swimming around looking for fresh teenagers, who have to stay perfectly still. All the underwater stuff is genuinely fun, but as soon as the characters talk or try to act like people, the film becomes a parody of itself.

Since one of the leads is played by the daughter of Jamie Foxx and the other is the daughter of Sylvester Stallone, the film feels like one of those direct-to-video ’90s action movies that featured Joey Travolta, Don Swayze, Joe Estevez and Frank Stallone.

I can’t recommend this movie at all. I want to because the sharks are scary and there are some tense sequences filled with legit claustrophobia, but this is a bad movie. At home, with some friends and booze, this might be a blast and that’s probably good enough. Instead of “Netflix and Chill,” it could be “White Claw and Sharks.”

Cate Blanchett is an international treasure. That is all.

be unhappy, but are left to our own devices when it comes to understanding how she got there.

I haven’t read the novel by Maria Semple, but I can only hope that more exploration of Bernadette happens without all the lip service. She’s a fascinating character people love talking about, but there’s nothing intimate about a character study in which mostly everyone just talks about each other. We need to see human behavior.

At its heart, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” is a film about what happens

when an artist stops creating, but never really approaches the depth that the subject requires. The film plays every dramatic beat too safely, showing Bernadette after she’s made the big decisions.

When you have an actress as gifted as Blanchett, you give her the opportunity to show her make those decisions behind her eyes. Instead, we’re left with scene after scene of characters talking about what just happened offscreen.

It sounds like I hated the film, but there are so many beautiful and honest moments sprinkled throughout that

the flaws are even more glaring. This could have been a classic if Linklater had understood the story he was telling on a deeper level, instead of just capturing the ripples along the surface. This is a story about volcanic human emotion; instead, we’re left with something perfectly, insultingly affable.

A

s a filmmaker, Richard Linklater is what you might call affable. In his movies, going all the way back to “Dazed and Confused,” he loves to find the truth in human interaction, but seems uncomfortable with pain that isn’t easily fixed. His best work (The “Before” Trilogy) comes close to really exploring damaged individuals, but always seems to pull back before something truly profound is uncovered.

Make no mistake, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” isn’t a bad film. But it’s also rife with missed opportunities to create a real classic. Cate Blanchett plays Bernadette Fox, a brilliant architect with the mind of an unhinged artist. She lives in Seattle with her husband and daughter, miserable in a city she can’t stand and two decades past the last thing she created.

Bernadette hates people (mostly her neighbors), is slowly becoming agoraphobic, is definitely depressed and possibly suicidal. In order for the film to truly work, you just gotta get out of Blanchett’s way and let her be brilliant, but Bernadette’s pain is deeply rooted in events that happened decades earlier—events the audience never gets to see. Because of this, Blanchett’s performance is only ever an approximation of events we hear about, leaving the audience always removed from her emotions.

Linklater never takes us into what has broken Bernadette. We hear about miscarriages, failed projects and the life-sucking effect of Seattle through Bernadette and her husband, but never actually see the giant moments in her life. We only ever get the aftermath. We spend lots of time watching Bernadette

Cross is Coming

Cyclocross unites cycling community for dusty, good-natured fun

By Peter Madsen

skills. Despite its challenges, cyclocross is the gateway to greater bike racing for many cyclists. About 200 competitors race each week, said Molly Cogswell-Kelley, the MBSEF events director in charge of Thrilla.

“For local riders, whether or not they’re just starting out and they want to try and get their feet wet— or get their feet dirty and dusty—this is definitely the race for them,” Cogswell-Kelley said.

Cyclocross is an arena where the toughest cyclists and fun seekers coexist. Many race categories, arranged by age groups and/or ability, and often staggered in 30-second increments, means that it’s never immediately clear who’s off the front of the race—or way off the back. Casual racers blend with race leaders who quickly lap them.

This fosters a communal vibe within the taped-off race corridors. Cowbell-clanging spectators soak up the concentrated racing, too. They offer racers beer “hand ups” and good-natured heckles. Cyclocross is highly participatory, even for non-racers.

Bart Bowen, a two-time National Cyclocross Series champion, designs each week’s Thrilla iteration. To help racers get ready, his company, Bowen Sports Performance, holds $15 cyclocross clinics on Aug. 26, Sept. 9 and Sept. 16. The clinics run through the Matthew Lasala

et ready for beer hand-ups and incessant cough-inducing dust clouds: cyclocross season is barreling toward Central Oregon. A multi-surface cycling discipline that pits furry-limbed mountain bikers against leg-waxing roadies, cyclocross poses the question—if never completely answering it—of which breed of cyclist is more capable.

Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation’s Thrilla Cyclocross Series, happening on five consecutive Thursday evenings, kicks off at the Athletic Club of Bend’s grounds Sept. 5. While several weekend cyclocross series dot the state throughout autumn, Cyclocross Crusade, one of the largest multi-stop cyclocross series in the country, ushers in a two-date medieval carnival vibe to the Deschutes Brewery grounds the weekend of Oct. 26.

A cyclocross race is held on a short, closed course that features surfaces such as grass, gravel, sand pits, pavement and single track. Shin- or kneehigh barriers require racers to quickly hop off their bikes and remount them as fluidly as possible. Hairpin corners, often slickened by wear, rain or water hose, keep spectators on their toes and racers rubber side up. The sport’s duality demands a road racer’s lung-popping pain tolerance and a mountain biker’s nimble handling

basics of agility, bicycle dismounts and remounts, and bicycle shouldering while running.

Also the director of the Cascade Cycling Classic, Bowen said The Athletic Club’s campus, covered by pine trees, pre-existing single track and paved paths, is an ideal cyclocross setting.

“It’s a really cool venue,” Bowen said. “I don’t think people realize how good we have it. The biggest hurdle is the dust. We go out there on week one and we’re like, ‘Wow, (the trails) have a lot of moisture,’ but the repeated braking with skinny tires over and over blows them apart.”

Thrilla’s southern-most section winds through trails that, for their ashen composition, kick up clouds of “moon dust,” which obscure sight lines and hide wheel-grabbing ruts. Bowen, 52, said finding new ways to thread Thrilla’s weekly courses through the same landscapes creates a fun challenge. Water hoses will temper this year’s dust clouds, which in seasons past has caused a lingering, smoker’s-like cough among racers and inspired MSBEF to sell Thrilla t-shirts that feature a gas mask and the tonguein-cheek motto: “In Dust We Trust.”

“Dust is just a Central Oregon problem,” Bowen said. “Some people say that section of the course is more mountain-bikey, but really, it will just improve your technical skills on a cyclocross bike.”

Cyclocross racing will also improve your heckling skills—the well-intentioned snark that spectators hurl at passing racers. Longtime cyclocross

racer Ryan Kruit enjoys heckling perhaps as much as racing, but says there’s a fine line.

“It’s too easy to be sitting on the side of the course, drinking beer, and yelling at someone who’s putting in a tremendous amount of work that they should ‘Go faster,’” said Kruit, 34, who lives in Bend. “There’s a balance — (heckling) should be about motivation.

You can also over-heckle someone by getting too personal.”

Kruit prefers to hone in on teammates and friends who are locked into mid-pack battles. He considers a heckle a success when he can get the subject of his ribbing to laugh, such as he does by sweetly encouraging a teammate’s opponent, who might be just a wheel-length ahead.

“One of my favorite things in heckling is recognizing the race within a race,” Kruit said. “In seven laps, you’ll see racers go back and forth." One might have power on a paved section and others will have more technical abilities.

"It’s really fun to get those heckles, like, ‘Ooh, you just got passed!’”

One of Kruit’s favorite heckles are reserved for Bowen, who also races at Thrilla. Kruit likes to rib Bowen should he lose traction while navigating a turn.

“I like to tell Bart he should probably take a cyclocross clinic,” Kruit said.

At Last!

A way to protect birds from cats

By Jim Anderson Jim Anderson

BEND’S LOCAL INDEPENDENT OUTDOOR RETAILER

That dear young girl that died of the bubonic plague many years ago lives in my mind like a stick of dynamite in our local kindergarten. Her pet cat carried a dead ground squirrel it had caught into the home and a flea carrying the Black Death deserted the squirrel and jumped into the child’s clothing where it eventually bit her. She came down with the plague and died.

I know the population of Belding’s ground squirrels is growing exponentially, thanks to the expanding irrigated hay farms in the countryside. Farm and house cats are catching and killing ground squirrels, and it’s just a matter of time before another cat brings another ground squirrel into someone’s home and that abominable flea carrying the Black Death jumps into someone’s bed and infects a child or an adult.

My worries about cats carrying dead ground squirrels into someone’s home may be less if, yes IF, the ground squirrel reacts to that colorful collar as birds do. Here’s hoping…

But it is also the reaction to birds being killed by feral cats that now comes into focus. The rules of engagement with captured feral cats are to spay and neuter them and then release them back into the wild. How about if we go one step further and how about fitting the BirdsBeSafe collar on the cat before releasing it?

Just think of the native songbirds we’ll be saving.

Scientific studies have shown that part of a three-year U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-funded effort to estimate the number of birds killed by predators, chemicals and in collisions with wind

re cats cuddly companions or finetuned killing machines? They’re both—and their owners know that.

Cats that live in the wild (or are indoor pets allowed to roam outdoors), kill about 2.4 billion birds in the continental U.S. each year, according to the American Bird Conservancy, contributing to the extinction of at least 64 bird, mammal and reptile species. Their owners respond with a shrug of their shoulders, or, they state, “Oh, well, that’s nature.”

Yes, it is natural for cats to kill things, that’s what cats are designed by nature to do. But it’s not “natural” for domestic cats to kill indigenous wildlife just because it is there; that’s the influence of man and his feline pets on the natural world.

But at last birds and other native wildlife roaming around outside homes and businesses can be safe from domestic cats. The photo at right of a BirdsBeSafe collar on a friend’s cat may look awkward for it to get around in, but scientific tests have demonstrated cats are not harmed (but may be annoyed) when wearing it. The device is 87% successful at keeping cats from catching birds, according to the company, with the bright colors designed to help songbirds see cats sooner.

Dear readers, cats killing birds and other native wildlife has—for years and years—been the bane of my existence. Not only do the incredible numbers of dead birds and other native wildlife bother me, but it is also the business of domestic cats bringing their victims into the house that worries me no end.

A domestic house cat wearing the BirdsBeSafe cat collar, lit up by the reflective material on its edges.

generators and windows showed that they are in the billions. Because of that, about a third of the 800 species of birds in the USA are endangered, threatened or in significant decline, according to the American Bird Conservancy.

On top of that, a report in “Nature Communications” estimates a much-higher figure than the billions of annual bird deaths previously attributed to cats. The study also reports that from 6.9 billion to as many as 20.7 billion mammals — mainly mice, shrews, rabbits and voles — are killed by cats annually in the contiguous 48 states.

The local cat owner who told me about this remarkable device was pleased with the results. “No more dead birds at my doorstep!” she exclaimed and she heaped more praise on the BirdsBeSafe collar when she said, “My cat doesn’t even know she’s wearing it, and if the collar gets tangled in the brush it’ll just break away and the cat comes home unharmed.”

You can get them at birdsbesafe.com.

If our local Humane Society decides to change the rules on handling feral cats, they can depend on me to supply them a bunch of BirdsBeSafe collars. Please, for the sake of our wild birds, join me.

Licensed Broker Windermere Central Oregon

The “Dos and Don’ts” During the Loan Process A buyer’s guide • Never co-sign for anyone, for any reason, for anything! It may be that a buyer wants to help their child purchase a car or rent their first apartment.

No matter how much a buyer wants to help, do not do it, as that debt reflects on a credit report and becomes a factor into the buyer’s debt-to-income ratio.

• This next one is crucial. I have seen it happen: A buyer gets preapproved for a loan and then gets so excited and goes out to purchase the perfect living room set for their new house. Or the perfect car for the new garage. No matter how much it may seem like a good idea; it is NOT! Do not purchase anything else on credit; not a car, truck, boat, furniture or other real estate.

Purchasing on credit directly affects the debt-to-income ratio, and lenders definitely do not look favorably on new debt.

• Coinciding with the above, do not charge large or abnormal amounts to existing credit card accounts.

• Finally, do not send in any late payments or incur late fees for anything!

Now, what does a buyer DO during the loan and escrow process?

The “Do” List: • Absolutely, with no exceptions, a buyer needs to keep all accounts current, including mortgages, car loans, credit cards etc.

• If any questions arise, contact both the lender and real estate broker immediately.

• Make all payments on or before the due dates of all accounts.

• Stay in direct contact with buyer’s broker, lender and escrow officer. Meaning, if they call or email, make it your first priority to get right back to them.

Following these guidelines will help to manage the loan process and create a smooth path for loan approval. \

hen getting ready to purchase a home, a buyer needs to get a prequalification or preapproval letter from their lender. The thing to remember, is that these “prequalifications and preapprovals” are just that…the beginning stage of the loan process. These letters DO NOT mean that a buyer is 100% approved for the home loan. As such, there are things that may affect the outcome of your loan request. There are certain “Dos and Don’ts” that remain in effect before, during and after loan approval until the time of settlement when the loan is signed, funded and recorded.

As a buyer it is crucial that nothing is done that may alter a credit report. This is because, many times a buyer’s credit report, income and assets are verified within hours of the buyer signing final loan documents, and any changes may put obtaining the loan at risk. Not only could these changes put your loan at risk, it can also put the earnest money deposit at risk.

The Don’t List: • Absolutely do not quit or change jobs. Without a proven and steady source of reliable income, it is likely the loan will get denied.

• Do not allow anyone to make a credit inquiry, with the exception of the lender.

• Do not apply for credit anywhere else, except the lender. Applying for credit creates inquiries on the credit report and reduces the credit score. Thus, it can have a detrimental effect on the lender’s determination of creditworthiness.

• Changing banks or transferring money within an existing account can raise serious red flags. A buyer needs to keep their accounts open and with limited changes during the loan process.

with cancer. Most people have been extremely supportive, but two girlfriends I texted about this haven’t responded at all. Is it really that hard to say “I’m so sorry”? Should I use this opportunity to do a little friend house cleaning and demote certain “friends” to acquaintance status, knowing now that I can’t count on them?

—Too Harsh?

At least when you yell into the Grand Canyon, you get back more than the blinking cursor of nothingness.

Ideally, your friends’ responsiveness should not compare unfavorably to a giant hole—especially not when you’re all “Yoohoo...I’m kinda devastated about my dad!” But before you decide to “demote” friends, there are a couple of things to consider: “evolutionary mismatch” and our reliance on technology to get messages across flawlessly.

Evolutionary mismatch, a theory originated by evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr, refers to how we modern humans are driven by an antique psychological operating system largely calibrated for the world of our human ancestors 2 1/2 million to 10,000 years ago. This means, for example, that important triggers for others to take action that were there in the ancestral environment aren’t always present in our modern one.

Take expressions of sadness: Bodily expressions of sadness like tears or having all the spring in your step of a curbside couch are basically street corner sign spinners advertising our psychological state. When people see those behaviors, feelings of empathy automatically arise, motivating them to reach out with a hug or, at the very least, a mumbled kind word.

Expressions of sadness via smartphone text—in words on a tiny screen— lack the visual elements, the bodily signals, that evolved to trigger empathy.

Also consider that many people think not knowing what to say is reason to say nothing. What they don’t realize is that saying nothing in a crisis is usually a bigger blunder—more hurtful—than saying the wrong thing would ever be.

It’s also possible they missed your text. We rely on technology to keep us informed, and we forget how busy we are and that texts sometimes don’t go through or somebody hits their phone funny and a new text turns into an already read one (meaning the notification dot goes away).

This sounds like an excuse, and it may not be what happened. However, it’s possible. So it probably pays to check—ask, “Hey, did you see the text about my dad?” and keep the snarky ending silent: “...or do I need to tweet an orange tabby cat in scrubs giving a man chemotherapy?”

Rehash Marks One

of my best male friends is in a super toxic relationship. I’ve told him to end it many times, and he does, but then he gets roped back in.

At this point, I don’t want to listen anymore, and I’m tired of saying the same thing.

Amy Alkon How do I convey that without blowing the friendship?

—Earache If you wanted to repeat yourself constantly, you’d get a side hustle as a parrot.

Let’s be honest. When a friend puts their relationship issues on endless repeat, it’s tempting to put the phone down while they’re talking and go prune your ivy. It’s tempting for anyone but probably more so for you because you’re a woman. Women, in general, have a tendency to be indirect—to hint at what they want rather than coming right out and stating it.

Women’s hintishness is often viewed as a flaw, but as I wrote recently, the late psychologist Anne Campbell, who researched female psychology and behavior, viewed it as an evolutionary feature. Campbell believed this indirectness evolved as a way for women— the baby carriers and primary child carers of the species—to avoid physical confrontation that could leave them hurt or dead. (If you don’t quite say something, somebody won’t quite have the ammunition to clobber you for it.)

But a tendency is not a mandate. You can understand why you, as a woman, might feel uncomfortable being direct— stating exactly what works for you—but you can decide to be direct despite that.

To help keep the guy from seeing you as mean, unkind, or a crappy friend for saying “no mas” on hearing the sameoldsameold, explain, “I care about you, and it’s really painful to hear about you continuing to let yourself be abused.”

Follow this up with something like: “My advice has not changed, and I hope you’ll eventually take it. Until then, I’m sorry. I just can’t hear about this situation anymore.” Difficult as this might be, it’s less invasive than the next-best option: having a string installed in the back of your head that you pull and out comes “So sorry to hear that” over and over and over again.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Yisrael Kristal

no more kidney stones, please.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would be an excellent time for you to create your own tally of the Five Crucial Provisions. Be bold and precise as you inform life about your needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “We may be surprised at whom God sends to answer our prayers,” wrote author Janette Oke. I suspect that observation will apply to you in the coming weeks. If you’re an atheist or agnostic, I’ll rephrase her formulation for you: “We may be surprised at whom Life sends to answer our entreaties.” There’s only one important thing you have to do to cooperate with this experience: set aside your expectations about how help and blessings might appear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sailors have used

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s not cost-effi-

compasses to navigate since the eleventh century. But that tool wasn’t enough to guide them. A thorough knowledge of the night sky’s stars was a crucial aid. Skill at reading the ever-changing ocean currents always proved valuable. Another helpful trick was to take birds on the ships as collaborators. While at sea, if the birds flew off and returned, the sailors knew there was no land close by. If the birds didn’t return, chances were good that land was near. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I think it’s an excellent time to gather a number of different navigational tools for your upcoming quest.

One won’t be enough.

cient to recycle plastic. Sorting and processing the used materials to make them available for fresh stuff is at least as expensive as creating new plastic items from scratch. On the other hand, sending used plastic to a recycling center makes it far less likely that it will end up in the oceans and waterways, harming living creatures. So in this case, the short-term financial argument in favor of recycling is insubstantial, whereas the moral argument is strong. I invite you to apply a similar perspective to your upcoming decisions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): What do you want from the allies who aren’t your lovers?

What feelings do you most enjoy while you’re in the company of your interesting, non-romantic companions?

For instance, maybe you like to be respected and appreciated. Or perhaps what’s most important to you is to experience the fun of being challenged and stimulated. Maybe your favorite feeling is the spirit of collaboration and comradeship. Or maybe all of the above. In any case, Scorpio, I urge you to get clear about what you want—and then make it your priority to foster it. In the coming weeks, you’ll have the power to generate an abundance of your favorite kind of non-sexual togetherness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the CEO of the clothes company Zappos, Sagittarius entrepreneur Tony Hsieh is worth almost a billion dollars. If he chose, he could live in a mansion by the sea. Yet his home is a 200-square-foot, $48,000 trailer in Las Vegas, where he also keeps his pet alpaca. To be clear, he owns the entire trailer park, which consists of 30 other trailers, all of which are immaculate hotbeds of high-tech media technology where interesting people live. He loves the community he has created, which is more important to him than status and privilege. “For me, experiences are more meaningful than stuff,” he says. “I have way more experiences here.” I’d love to see you reaffirm your commitment to priorities like his in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’ll be a favorable time to do so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Medical researcher Jonas Salk developed a successful polio vaccine, so he had a strong rational mind. Here’s how he described his relationship with his non-rational way of knowing. He said, “It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It’s my partner.” I bring this up, Capricorn, because the coming weeks will be a favorable time to celebrate and cultivate your own intuition. You may generate amazing results as you learn to trust it more and figure out how to deepen your relationship with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey once formulated a concise list of his requirements for living well.

“One must be reasonable in one’s demands on life,” he wrote. “For myself, all that I ask is: 1. accurate information; 2. coherent knowledge; 3. deep understanding; 4. infinite loving wisdom; 5.

CONNECT, ENGAGE AND EXCEL TOGETHER

TAURUS (April 20May 20): African American slaves suffered many horrendous deprivations. For example, it was illegal for them to learn to read. Their oppressors feared that educated slaves would be better equipped to agitate for freedom, and took extreme measures to keep them illiterate.

Frederick Douglass was one slave who managed to beat the ban. As he secretly mastered the art of reading and writing, he came upon literature that ultimately emboldened him to escape his “owners” and flee to safety. He became one of the nineteenth century’s most powerful abolitionists, producing reams of influential writing and speeches. I propose that we make Douglass your inspiring role model for the coming months. I think you’re ready to break the hold of a certain curse— and go on to achieve a gritty success that the curse had prevented you from accomplishing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For twenty-fi ve years, businessman Don Thompson worked for the McDonald’s fast food company, including three years as its CEO. During that time, he oversaw the sale and consumption of millions of hamburgers. But in 2015, he left McDonald’s and became part of Beyond Meat, a company that sells vegan alternatives to meat. I could see you undergoing an equally dramatic shift in the coming months, Gemini: a transition into a new role that resembles but is also very different from a role you’ve been playing. I urge you to step up your fantasies about what that change might entail.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot,” wrote author Audre Lorde. As an astrologer I would add this nuance: although what Lourde says is true, some phases of your life are more favorable than others to seek deep and rapid education. For example, the coming weeks will bring you especially rich teachings if you incite the learning process now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The American idiom “stay in your lane” has come to mean “mind your own business,” and usually has a pejorative sense. But I’d like to expand it and soften it for your use in the coming weeks. Let’s define it as meaning “stick to what you’re good at and know about” or “don’t try to operate outside your area of expertise” or “express yourself in ways that you have earned the right to do.” Author Zadie Smith says that this is good advice for writers. “You have to work out what it is you can’t do, obscure it, and focus on what works,” she attests. Apply that counsel to your own sphere or field, Leo.

Homework: Poet Muriel Rukeyser said, “The world is made of stories, not atoms.” I’d add, “You are made of stories, too.” What’s your favorite story that you’re made of? FreeWillAstrology.com

was a Polish Jew born under the sign of Virgo in 1903. His father was a scholar of the Torah, and he began studying Judaism and learning Hebrew at age three. He lived a long life and had many adventures, working as a candle-maker and a candy-maker. When the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945, Kristal emerged as one of the survivors. He went on to live to the age of 113. Because of the chaos of World War I, he had never gotten to do his bar mitzvah when he’d turned thirteen. So he did it much later, in his old age. I foresee a comparable event coming up soon in your life, Virgo. You will claim a reward or observe a milestone or collect a blessing you weren’t able to enjoy earlier.

A Mile-High cannabis experience WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / AUGUST 22, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Josh Jardine

I

just returned from Colorado, where I explored a very small portion of the Denver cannabis scene. My schedule and reimbursable budget didn’t permit sampling dozens of products, so in no way should my experience serve as a comprehensive picture of what’s available. The next trip will focus more on small-batch craft cannabis, but I know now know where I will be going to consume it when I do.

Triangle Reunion OG ($18/gram), and the budtender recounted how happy, creative and energized they had both made him feel. I resisted asking if that had been 10 minutes ago on his break and lined up to buy a gram of each.

Then it got stupid.

Prices, THC percentages and type (Indica, hybrid, Sativa) were displayed above the registers, and showed the OG

In 2018, Colorado’s cannabis sales were $1.5 billion, which was up 3% from 2017, and helped total sales since 2014 hit $6 billion. Oregon’s pot sales in 2018 were about $540 million.

First, some numbers: Colorado’s population is 5.7 million. Oregon’s is 4.2 million. In 2018, Colorado’s cannabis sales were $1.5 billion, which was up 3% from 2017, and helped total sales since 2014 hit $6 billion. Oregon’s pot sales in 2018 were about $540 million.

Taxes aren’t far apart: Oregon collects 17%, with cities able to collect up to another 3%, for a total of 20%. In Colorado, it’s a flat 15%.

My hotel in downtown Denver put me within walking distance of numerous dispensaries, so I grabbed a copy of the Denver equivalent of the Source Weekly to check out the dispensary ads.

The 64 pages of alt-weekly Westword had 54 dispensary ads. Pre-tax prices started at $20 for ½ ounces of shake, $79 for ounces of flower, $10 for 500 mg distillate cartridges, $13 for 100-mg edibles, and $14 per gram of shatter.

Purchasing and possession limits differ from Oregon’s somewhat, resulting in some dispensaries offering $300 ounces of concentrates.

Overwhelmed, I texted a Denver-based friend who works in the industry, asking for input on downtown dispensaries. He replied: “Euflora was once the gold standard of what a shop should look like, while still having garbage product.” I wanted to give it a chance, and it was only six blocks away. They showcased flower selections on several tables, with iPads displaying info on each strain.

Flower was encased in handheld plexiglass boxes, with a built-in magnifying lens, and a removable rubber plug which covered several holes for enjoying the aroma.

A visibly stoned budtender with enthusiasm and a broad grin said the two Sativa strains I was considering were “great choices.” They included the Wild Thailand ($15.50/gram) and

listed as an Indica at a somewhat questionable 33% THC, exceptionally high for any strain, but especially a Sativa.

I asked the cashier why the difference, and he said that the OG was indeed an Indica, and the iPad description of it as a Sativa and its effects were incorrect.

“Why not correct them?” I asked.

The cashier answered, “We don’t actually program the iPads, and we can’t change anything on them, so we aren’t responsible for what’s on them.” I paid a total of $42.18 for my 2 grams, because Sativa, Indica, who cares, what’s the difference? Cool story, bro.

Later, a search of the website menu had the following listed next to each of my purchased strains: “No description available. If you have any info on this strain, drop us some knowledge.” (At $18 a gram, how about you drop some strain knowledge on me.)

I then visited Tetra 9 Lounge and Garden, one of Denver’s two social consumption spaces. A $20 entry fee got me inside a spacious space, perhaps a former garage, with scattered couches, tables and chairs, opening out onto a ramshackle backyard with seating and a sizeable deck. The sweet house “lounge dog” wandered over to check me out, then promptly passed out by my feet.

A selection of vapes and other consumption gear, along with cold beverages, were available at no cost, and great artwork lined the walls, about and by people of color. The staff were friendly, and they host a full event schedule most evenings.

Highly recommended.

But the bud? The prepackaged grams consisted of several very small “B” buds, with disappointing terpenes and effects.

I tried three other strains while there, and concluded that for this trip, Oregon’s flower game came out on top.
