EDITOR’S NOTE:

Being a voice for our community—and especially the underrepresented in our community—is what makes us tick here at the Source Weekly. You’ll see it in our coverage of race issues, diversity and equity in the outdoors, the housing crisis, commuting away from cars or any number of issues centered around social, environmental and economic justice… but we can’t do it alone.

Partnerships with media outlets statewide, and across the nation, offer an even wider portal to the tales that deserve to be told. That’s why this week, we’re taking part in an annual tradition among the weekly press, publishing Project Censored, a compilation of some of the biggest stories you might not have heard this past year. Turn to our website for even more of the coverage—as our print edition only holds so many pages to publish this important information.

A Temporary Ban on Flavored Vapes was the Right Move. But a permanent one? Not so fast.

G

BENDVETERINARYCLINIC.COM 360 NE QUIMBY AVE 382-0741

ov. Kate Brown’s Oct. 4 decision to temporarily ban all flavored vaporizer products was likely the right move. In light of two vape-related deaths in Oregon, and nearly two dozen nationwide, we still don’t know enough about the causes for consumers to make informed decisions about whether to continue vaping cannabis and/or nicotine products.

In the long run, however, we’re going to need to see a lot more information before this editorial board is going to support the Oregon Legislature moving forward on a permanent ban, as Brown recommended in her executive order last week. Brown’s ban, done through executive order, will last six months.

Then it’s up to Oregon legislators to decide whether they support banning flavored vape products in the state going forward.

Here in Oregon, this issue can really be broken into two parts. One part stems from an effort—which existed long before this vape crisis—to keep e-cig products out of the hands of kids. The Oregon Health Authority and other public health experts have long been working to stop e-cigarette manufacturers from marketing their flavored products to people under the age of 21. That’s a valid concern—and for them, the advent of this current vaping crisis is somewhat advantageous, as it’s resulted in a ban that they likely would have supported, even without the deaths related to a mysterious lung illness.

But the other part of this is the muddied information people are getting between the potential dangers of THC-containing products and those containing nicotine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of Oct. 1, the “latest national and regional findings suggest products containing THC play a role in the outbreak.”

There are the people in our state who have found themselves quitting smoking, thanks

to the use of vaporizer products. For them, it might seem unfair to see a ban on the products they’ve used to quit a more harmful substance—when, at least in Oregon, the two people who died contracted their illnesses following the use of cannabis vaporizers, not nicotine ones. Still, it’s also fair to say that those using any of those products should get to know what’s in them—and so far, the information provided, if any, isn’t enough to discern whether a certain ingredient is deemed safe.

“Users may not know what is in their e-cigarette or e-liquid solutions. Many of the products and substances can be modified by suppliers or users,” the CDC shared on its website.

There’s the very real possibility that some of the chemicals found in both cannabis and nicotine vaporizers are actually causing the illnesses and deaths—but until researchers drill down and find out the answers, it seems unfair to move forward and permanently ban something that may not actually be deadly or dangerous.

For now, we are going to operate on the assumption that state and federal health leaders will be forthcoming with any information they receive about the potential risks—or the opposite, the findings that a certain product is safe—before the debate about a permanent ban really heats up. Consumers deserve to have access to the full picture before they make a determination about whether to use a product, or whether to support a permanent ban. While government has a role in protecting people’s health, ultimately, informed consumers can, and should, oversee their own health-related decisions.

Since the Oregon Legislature will ultimately decide whether to ban these products, now—and also at the point that we know definitively what’s causing the illnesses—is the time to share your thoughts on this issue with your local representatives.

O NEW HIGH SCHOOL NAME

HOMELESS, HELPLESS? The homeless problem is beyond help so it seems. I lived in San Francisco, a city cited for being too liberal on homeless. Camps are found next to your home or in a park across the street. Many are screaming at themselves, waiting for free food and medication. Friends living in Portland have said, they love the area except one thing: The homeless are big problem. In Eugene I picked up the Weekly paper. The front page article announced, “No Place to Turn.

Eugene’s mentally ill homeless are arrested, hospitalized, release and ignored.”

In Bend, our small but growing town is getting to this same point. Homeless camps are found on the corner of Bond and Oregon Streets. Homeless young people are living on city property by Crows Feet Commons. When it’s icy and they slip, suing the city, are taxpayers liable? Tourists walk cross the street to get away only to find homeless on the public bench leaving no place to sit. They scrounge dumpsters all over town. Homeless beg at the Costco parking lot and at the stop on Bond and Franklin. In garbage ridden lots near Jackson’s Corner East, people are living in their vehicles. I saw a homeless man in a wheelchair parked in the middle of the street with a blanket over his head. Hours later, the man was still there. I saw similar by Worthy Brewing Company. Most residents in Bend can add to this list. I choose not to live in a town with a huge homeless “problem.” It is not a crime to “hang out” on the street, but on every bench, every corner, stopping me to ask for money? This situation certainly

@sourceweekly

can’t benefit anyone. We all know the problem, but What Is the Solution?

BREWPUB CACOPHONY Businesses that hire live musicians but fail to turn off recorded music are being disrespectful of and rude to the musicians they hire. That is like inviting someone to play a guitar in your living room while you keep a radio on in the kitchen. Two unrelated songs playing simultaneously create cacophony, an unpleasant and discordant environment that does not encourage spending time or money in.

Civilization has become so inundated with sound waves that many people have come to accept cacophony as normal and constant while disregarding its disharmonious effect on their subconscious moods and emotions. Some people may be able to consciously block it out, but I cannot believe that anyone enjoys cacophony.

“One” is the maximum number of music programs that should be audible at any time because TWO CAN ONLY CREATE NOISE POLLUTION! Even though I have no background in the food and beverage industry, I doubt that a noisy environment could ever outsell a musical, one because a musical environment will never repel people who are complacent with noise but a noisy environment will always repel serious music lovers.

It’s an easily remembered formula: less noise pollution, more money spent; more noise pollution, less money spent.

To maximize customer satisfaction and the money they spend, managers of brewpubs, restaurants, and bars should turn OFF—not down—their recorded music while their paid musicians are playing their hearts out for their customers! Food and beverage managers PERMANENTLY drive musically oriented and sound-sensitive customers away by not doing so!

I’m among a large majority of players who hadn’t played much volleyball beyond, what we call “BBQ ball” or just simple “indoor.” I started playing down at the “Old Mill sand courts” about seven years ago. I was 22 and still in college at COCC. The warm sun rays, challenging game and inviting personalities pulled me to that sand. It was quick. Not my technique. Not my knowledge of the game.

But my love for it all. The amazing spot (thank you to the Old Mill and the founders) where the sand courts sit has seen many bright-eyed, energizing humans. It’s like a step into a surreal world. Rising high in the sky, we’ve all seen them, those triple stacks stand over us like watch towers.

The flag is also an excellent indicator for the wind’s speed and direction. With live music steps away and a centralized location the courts will truly be missed. Alright, although our Central Oregon land is full of juniper and sage, and devoid of saltwater and seagulls… We play beach volleyball. We look west to the Seaside Volleyball Tournament every year. Our group of sand sharks is small but if the grains combine with the surf we can keep welcoming new faces and form a beach in Bend.

I’ve heard that there will be a voting process but I don’t really know who will be handling that. I think that our own Robert D Maxwell would be a great choice for a name. Robert D Maxwell was a Medal of Honor recipient in WWII. He was also a teacher at Bend High School and COCC. If you don’t know who he was then please Google him.

Author Rich Benjamin brings his thought-provoking lectures to Bend

By Cayla Clark

S

kiing, mountain biking, Patagonia sweaters and an excess of pricey craft beer; there’s no doubt that Bend is steeped in a culture often associated with “whiteness.” According to data accumulated by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the racial composition of Bend in 2019 is 86.1% white.

Rich Benjamin, an anthropologist, American culture critic and Scholar-in-Residence at Columbia University, explores the recent increase in pockets of extreme whiteness throughout America–pockets he’s labeled “Whitopias.” He observed that as the U.S. continued to grow in racial diversity, certain areas were rapidly becoming less and less multicultural.

This shift sparked Benjamin’s interest, and he decided to explore the reasoning behind it. He spent over two years traveling 27,000 miles, delving into these oddly uniform sanctions and attempting to uncover why segregation—however unintentional—is still a favorite American pastime.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Benjamin explained the difference

between diversity and integration, and touched on the danger involved in exacerbating a lack of cultural assimilation.

“People don’t realize that diversity isn’t the same as integration. Blacks and whites in New York, where I live, are as segregated today as in 1910,” he said in the article.

“You can call me old-fashioned, but I’m an integrationist. A democracy can’t function at its optimum unless all members are integrated as full members. A community full of like-minded people tends to enforce their own view of the world and close off opposing viewpoints. You can go to parties in New York City where the liberal smugness is intolerable because they’re only hearing liberal viewpoints. On the Whitopian conservative side, it’s spinning out of control. Look at the tea-bagger movement, where people are concerned their taxes are going to be wasted on minorities and illegal immigrants.”

He found that while the general attitude toward African Americans is becoming less hateful and less intolerant, it is slowly becoming more avoidant. If we successfully ignore it, it doesn’t exist, right?

Johnny Alfredo, a 30-year-old North Carolina native, recently moved to Bend to pursue a career in marketing. He shared his experiences in Bend as an African-American male with the Source Weekly.

“I found that at first, most of my struggles were internal,” he says.“Externally… I mean, everyone is so freaking NICE. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why, rather than just accepting it.” However, Alfredo has noticed that some Bend locals treat him a bit differently.

“It can be difficult to tell who’s genuine—are people being nice because they want to, or because they feel like they have to? I do think that people act differently towards me; I didn’t notice it until I started having one-on-one conversations.

Some people are obviously uncomfortable talking to me.”

Alfredo mentioned something familiar, but unexpected. “I was surprised to see Confederate flags… on bumper stickers, on belt buckles. That’s a Southern thing. I was used to seeing it in the South, but I didn’t think I’d see it here. I think that maybe people feel comfortable toting the flag in Bend because of the demographic.”

Bend is a desirable place to live. But is the community actively (however subconsciously) working to avoid diversity?

While it may not seem like a glaring issue, a severe lack of multiracial cohesion does pose a problem. According to Benjamin, by continuing to chase the ideal of

utopian homogeneity –a community disallows the essential personal and communal growth that comes with diversity.

Bendites seem to agree with Benjamin’s viewpoint, or at least, interest has been piqued. The lecture at OSU-Cascades has completely sold out, and while the lecture being held at 10 Barrel East is first come, first served, it is expected to fill up soon after the doors open at 6:30pm.

“People in Whitopia would say, ‘Hey, Rich, birds of a feather flock together.

What’s the big deal?’ Our government and businesses across the country make decisions every day that perpetuate segregation,” Benjamin told The New York Times. “When you say homes need to be built on a 1-acre lot, when you say apartment renters can’t live in your community—these concrete policies are what contribute to segregation. It’s not in our biology, and it’s not natural. We’re a great country—we’ve overcome some thorny problems in our past, and we’re better than that.”

Parents contest cell tower completion near Elk Meadow Elementary

By Magdalena Bokowa were diagnosed with various forms of cancer. Sprint, the operator, noted that the company didn’t move the tower due to the cancers—which have not been proven to be linked to the tower.

At very high levels, RF waves can heat up body tissues the same way a microwave heats up food. Proponents against cell towers next to schools says that children are at a greater risk of feeling the effects of these RF waves, “because of the children’s unique makeup,” says Szabo, “Up to 10 times more.”

A 2016, $25-million federally backed study showed links between rare brain and heart cancers and chronic exposure to the type of radiation emitted from cell phones and wireless devices. A 2004 study showed increased levels of rare brain and heart cancers in rats that were exposed to RF radiation for nine hours each day.

In this case, the Bend City Council says its hands are tied because the appeal process has expired. The City did inform people of the land use permit, though only those within 750 feet of its location received the notice. Parents say they should have been notified and urge the Council to repeal and replace the city code which allowed for the permitting to go through without their approval.

“We intend to take our cause to state and federal authorities,” says Paul Bacon, an Elk Meadow parent and media coordinator for SCTS, “but we don’t believe the City Council should be left out of the discussion entirely just because they feel they’ve done everything they can within the law.”

Though Bend Mayor Sally Russell made it clear on Wednesday that the issue was out of their hands, Bacon and Szabo both feel that Russell and City Manager Eric King could

Parents Paul Bacon and Elizabeth Hanley Szabo are part of a movement to halt construction of a cell tower near their kids' school on the south side of Bend.

The SCTS group says that this is the broader issue and want changes at the state and federal levels.

Bacon points to SB 283, signed by Gov. Brown this August, which declared an “emergency regarding wireless technology in schools, puts the entire state on notice that we have a likely health problem on our hands and we need to do everything we can to learn about and solve it.” He points to the overwhelming bipartisan support it saw, passing unanimously in the Senate. “There is no red or blue in this fight,” says Bacon.

“This is a common cause in an otherwise bitterly partisan time of history.”

Some European countries and municipalities, such as Belgium and France, have strict limits on electromagnetic waves, limiting the placement of wi-fi devices at schools. In some European districts, cell towers must be 1,500 feet away from schools.

“My personal experience has been that whenever I tell someone that a cell tower is being built directly next to my kids’ elementary school, that person seems disgusted in some way or another,” says Bacon. The group plans to continue to fight to get the cell tower moved to a minimum of 1,300 feet away from the school and urges the City to “Mediate a solution to the Elk Meadow problem by bringing all interested parties together to find a way to move the subject tower a safe distance from our kids’ school.”

sway Verizon. “They are lawmakers,” says Bacon, “and they have the ability to change laws that are outdated or not working in society’s best interest. And we as their constituents have the right and the responsibility to let them know when we see something wrong. That is what’s happening here.”

Meanwhile, staffers from the office of Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) plan to meet with parents to hear their concerns. “I would be happy to have our staff get with them right away and follow up because we all want safe communities,” Wyden stated. Cell towers are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. City of Bend code lays out the general framework for the locations of these towers and encourages new towers to be placed in industrial or commercial areas, though federal law prohibits the City from completely banning them from residential zones.

The FCC maintains the amount of RF energy from towers at ground level is thousands of times less than the limits for safe exposure set by federal law. Still, critics point out that federal safety rules were put in place in 1996, when signals largely radiated from remote towers that were off limits to the public sphere. The FCC maintains that it would be highly unlikely to be exposed to RF levels in excess of these limits just by being near a cell phone tower, especially if antennas are mounted high above ground level and the signals are transmitted intermittently, rather than constantly.

mpassioned parents and community members are intensifying their pleas to stop an 84-foot cell phone tower being constructed adjacent to Elk Meadow Elementary School.

The Verizon tower, approved with a conditional use permit in September 2017, is under construction on a 1.6-acre section of private land and will provide 4G cell service by the end of the calendar year, according to Jeannine Braggs, Verizon spokesperson. Parents, however, are dismayed about the tower’s close proximity to the school and say that they were not notified of the permitting application. Many say they only found out when they noticed construction beginning in July.

Last week, dozens of concerned community members, organized under the name Stop Cell Towers at Schools, descended on the Wednesday night Bend City Council meeting to voice their concerns over potential health dangers linked to radiofrequency radiation— the type of non-ionizing radiation used to send and receive cell signals. More than a dozen concerned members, mostly parents of children who attend Elk Meadow, used their 3 minutes of public comment time to present their case.

Worries about radiation have been unflagging since the beginning of cellphone usage, though little research has been conclusive.

Parents argue that it doesn’t matter.

“Best-case scenario is that the research is inconclusive,” says Elizabeth Hanley Szabo, a parent to two Elk Meadow students. “And the worst-case scenario is research pointing to multiple forms of brain cancer, neurological issues, dizziness, tremors, depression and so on.... And I think that’s too big of a risk to put something so close to our children that may pose a risk.”

Censored 2020: Through the Looking Glass Project Censored’s Top 10 Stories

By Paul Rosenberg, Senior Editor

E

very year, Project Censored scours the landscape for the most important stories that the mainstream corporate media somehow missed and every year the task seems to get a bit stranger. Curiouser and Curiouser, as suggested in the subtitle of this year’s volume of its work, Censored 2020: Through The Looking Glass, which includes its full list of the top 25 censored stories and more about the never-ending struggle to bring vitally important hidden truths to light.

1. Justice Department’s Secret FISA Rules for Targeting Journalists The federal government can secretly monitor American journalists under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, which allows invasive spying and operates outside the traditional court system, according to two 2015 memos from then-Attorney General Eric Holder. The memos were obtained by The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and the Freedom of the Press Foundation through an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which was reported on by The Intercept, whose parent company provides funding for both organizations, but was virtually ignored by the corporate media.

The secret rules “apply to media entities or journalists who are thought to be agents of a foreign government, or, in some cases, are of interest under the broader standard that they possess foreign intelligence information,” The Intercept reported.

“As Trevor Timm [executive director of Freedom of the Press] and others noted, FISA rules are “much less stringent” than the Justice Department’s media guidelines for obtaining subpoenas, court orders, and warrants against journalists,” Project Censored noted.

“This is a huge surprise,” Victoria Baranetsky, general counsel with the Center for Investigative Reporting, told The Intercept. “It makes me wonder, what other rules are out there, and how have these rules been applied? The next step is figuring out how this has been used.”

“Targeting journalists for surveillance, especially when trying to determine their

sources, has historically been limited by First Amendment concerns,” The Intercept noted. “(But in 2015) Holder instituted new guidelines that made the targeting of journalists in criminal cases a ‘last resort,’ and said that the Justice Department ordinarily needed to notify journalists when their records were seized, (following revelations) that the Obama administration had secretly seized phone records from the Associated Press and named a Fox News reporter as a co-conspirator in a leak case.”

“The fact that these were kept secret during the Obama administration is cause for great concern,” Timm noted.

“Now, President Trump has repeatedly stated his hatred for the media, and his (former) Attorney General Jeff Sessions has already tripled the amount of leak investigations since the Obama era (when they were already at an all time high). Has the Trump administration used FISA court orders to target journalists with surveillance? If so, when?”

Project Censored cited three “concerning” questions the memos raise, according to Timm: First, how many times have FISA court orders been used to target journalists, and are any currently under investigation? Second, why did the Justice Department keep these rules secret when it updated its “media guidelines” in 2015? And, third, is the Justice Department using FISA court orders—along with the FBI’s similar rules for targeting journalists with National Security Letters (NSLs)—to “get around the stricter ‘media guidelines’”?

FISA orders “allow the government to sidestep some of the Media Guidelines’ most important protections,” Knight Institute staff attorney Ramya Krishnan wrote at their website. “For example, the requirement that (1) the information sought be ‘essential to a successful investigation, prosecution, or litigation’; (2) the requester make ‘reasonable alternative attempts ... to obtain the information from alternative sources’; and (3) the government notify and negotiate with the affected journalist except in certain narrow circumstances.”

The corporate media virtually ignored these revelations when they occurred.

The subsequent media interest in FISA warrants targeting Trump campaign adviser Carter Page “has done nothing at all to raise awareness of the threats posed by FISA warrants that target journalists and news organizations,” Project Censored observed.

They ended with a quote from Krishnan, summarizing the stakes: “National security surveillance authorities confer extraordinary powers. The government’s failure to share more information about them damages journalists’ ability to protect their sources, and jeopardizes the news gathering process.”

2. Think Tank Partnerships Establish Facebook as a Tool of U.S. Foreign Policy In the name of fighting “fake news” to protect American democracy from “foreign influences,” Facebook formed a set of partnerships with three expert foreign influencers in 2018, augmenting its bias toward censorship of left/progressive voices.

In May 2018, Facebook announced its partnership with the Atlantic Council, a NATO-sponsored DC think tank to “monitor for misinformation and foreign interference.”

“It’s funded by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force, along with NATO, various foreign powers and major Western corporations, including weapons contractors and oil companies, (including Chevron, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell),” noted Adam Johnson, writing for the media watch group FAIR. He went on to say: When a venture that’s supposedly meant to curb “foreign influence” is bankrolled by a number of foreign countries— including the United Arab Emirates, Britain, Norway, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea— one would think that would be worth noting. Nor should U.S. government money be exempt from the “foreign” qualifier with its suggestion of malicious influence; to most of Facebook’s 2.2 billion users, after all, the United States is a foreign country.

What’s more, Project Censored noted, its conservative-leaning board of

directors includes former CIA directors, retired U.S. generals and hawkish former state department officials like Henry [“Secret War In Cambodia”] Kissinger and Condoleezza [“Iraq Weapons of Mass Distruction”] Rice. These are not exactly people most journalists would want as editorial overseers.

“The U.S. government reserves the right to run unattributed propaganda on Facebook, and there’s much evidence they have,” FAIR noted, parenthetically.

“Needless to say, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab hasn’t done any work in this space.”

It went on to note that the major news outlets covering the story said nothing about any of the above conflicts of interest.

“Instead, they issued repackaged press releases on the partnership, never examining the motives of the D.C. think tank, its funders, or the broader premise that ‘fake news’ and ‘foreign meddling’ were something in need of combating.”

Such uncritical recycling of press releases is nothing more than propaganda.

“Much like ‘counter-espionage’ is another name for espionage, ‘counter-propaganda’ efforts are just propaganda efforts,” FAIR noted, Then in September, Facebook announced it would also partner with two Cold War-era U.S. government-funded propaganda organizations: the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute.

“That these two U.S. government creations, along with a NATO offshoot like the Atlantic Council, are used by Facebook to distinguish real from fake news is effectively state censorship,” noted Alan MacLeod, writing for FAIR. “The [National Democratic Institute] undermined the Sandinista government of Nicaragua in the 1980s, and continues to do so to this day, while the IRI claimed a key role in the 2002 coup against leftist President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela.”

“In the name of fighting the scourge of ‘fake news,’ Facebook altered its proprietary algorithms in ways that significantly reduced traffic to progressive websites such as Common Dreams and Slate,”

the Atlantic,” was advanced by an alliance of some 500 indigenous groups from nine countries, known as COICA — the Coordinator of the Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin, who called it, “a sacred corridor of life and culture.”

“We have come from the forest and we worry about what is happening,” declared Tuntiak Katan, vice president of COICA, quoted in The Guardian. “This space is the world’s last great sanctuary for biodiversity. It is there because we are there. Other places have been destroyed.”

Khalil Bendib

It cited two New York Times stories, one in January 2019, which made no mention of the proposal, and a March 2109 op-ed that included just one sentence, “noting simply that Bolsonaro’s election ‘calls into question the fate of their proposal,” and linking to The Guardian’s November 2018 report.

4. U.S. Oil and Gas Industry Set to Unleash 120 Billion Tons of New Carbon Emissions Three months after the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that we have just 12 years to limit catastrophic climate change, Oil Change International released a report that went virtually ignored, warning that the United States was headed in exactly the wrong direction. The report, Drilling Towards Disaster, warned that rather than cutting down carbon emissions, as required to avert catastrophe, the United States under Donald Trump was dramatically increasing fossil fuel production, with the United States on target to account for 60% of increased carbon emissions worldwide by 2030, expanding extraction at least four times more than any other country.

“Between 2018 and 2050, the United States is set to unleash the world’s largest burst of CO2 emissions,” the report

release or its findings, including its prediction of 120 billion tons of new carbon pollution or its five-point checklist to overhaul fossil fuel production in the US.” The checklist includes: 1. Ban new leases or permits for new fossil fuel exploration, production, and infrastructure; 2. Plan for the phase-out of existing fossil fuel projects in a way that prioritizes environmental justice; 3. End subsidies and other public finance for the fossil fuel industry; 4. Champion a Green New Deal that ensures a just transition to 100% renewable energy; and 5. Reject the influence of fossil fuel money over U.S. energy policy. “[Instead of paying attention to the report, corporate media’s carbon emissions coverage] has focused more narrowly on President Trump’s proposal to amend existing emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks and to establish new standards for future cars and trucks,” Project Censored noted. “[But] framing carbon emissions in terms of pollution from cars and trucks does not convey the extent of the problem.

Instead, this frame effectively excludes from coverage the scope of new fossil fuel Khalil Bendib

smaller purges that have been unfolding in front of our eyes over the last year, all in the name of fighting ‘fake news’ and so called ‘Russian propaganda.’”

He also noted: “Many of the pages and accounts taken down have been political (often leftist), anti-war, independent journalists and media outlets that are known to go against the grain of mainstream media outlets. Anti-Media (antimedia. com), a reputable source of independent journalism, saw its page with over 2 million followers taken down overnight with no concrete explanation as to why.”

“There has been very little corporate news coverage of Facebook’s partnerships with U.S. government propaganda organizations,” Project Censored noted. “CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have provided offhand coverage, with only the most basic information, but none have framed Facebook’s actions in terms of censorship.”

3. Indigenous Groups from Amazon Propose Creation of Largest Protected Area on Earth When news of unprecedented wildfires in the Amazon grabbed headlines in late August, most Americans were ill-prepared to understand the story, in part because of systemic exclusion of indigenous voices and viewpoints, highlighted in Project Censored’s number three story — the proposed creation of an Amazonian protected zone the size of Mexico, presented to the UN Conference on Biodiversity in November 2018.

The proposal, which Jonathan Watts, writing for The Guardian described as “a 200m-hectare sanctuary for people, wildlife and climate stability that would stretch across borders from the Andes to

The Guardian went on to note: The organisation does not recognise national boundaries, which were put in place by colonial settlers and their descendants without the consent of indigenous people who have lived in the Amazon for millennia. Katan said the group was willing to talk to anyone who was ready to protect not just biodiversity but the territorial rights of forest communities.

In contrast, The Guardian explained:.

Colombia previously outlined a similar triple-A (Andes, Amazon and Atlantic) protection project that it planned to put forward with the support of Ecuador at next month’s climate talks. But the election of new rightwing leaders in Colombia and Brazil has thrown into doubt what would have been a major contribution by South American nations to reduce emissions.

And it went on to note that Bolsonaro had said he would only stay in the Paris climate agreement if given guarantees of Brazilian sovereignty over indigenous land. A follow-up story at Common Dreams, quoted another COICA representative, Juan Carlos Jintiach, saying Bolsonaro’s comments “are concerning because they nurture a disturbing tendency in different parts of the world, where almost three-fourths of environmental defenders assassinated in 2017 were indigenous leaders.”

Project Censored noted that: “Although the corporate and independent press have covered rightwing president Jair Bolsonaro’s intent to undermine indigenous rights in order to open Amazonian land for development, this coverage has almost entirely ignored COICA’s proposal to create the world’s largest protected area.”

also warned. “U.S. drilling into new oil and gas reserves – primarily shale – could unlock 120 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to the lifetime CO2 emissions of nearly 1,000 coal-fired power plants.”

“To limit catastrophic climate change, governments must manage the decline of the fossil fuel industry, and do so over the next few decades,” the report noted. “The United States should be moving first and fastest in this direction, (both because it’s) the world’s largest oil and gas producer and third-largest coal producer (and because) [i]t also has the resources and technology at hand to rapidly phase out extraction while investing in a just transition that guarantees a ‘Green New Deal’ for affected workers and communities currently living on the front lines of the fossil fuel industry and its pollution.”

References to the report “have been limited to independent media outlets,” Project Censored noted. “Corporate news outlets have not reported on the report’s

exploration, production, and extraction that led Oil Change International to characterize the potential for massive new carbon emissions as an ‘existential emergency’ for U.S. lawmakers.”

5. Modern Slavery in the United States, Around the World An estimated 403,000 people in the U.S. were living in conditions of “modern slavery” in 2016, according to the 2018 Global Slavery Index, or GSI, about 1% of the global total. The GSI defines “modern slavery” broadly to include forced labor and forced marriage. “[But the United States plays an outsized role] because the U.S exacerbates the global slavery problem by importing products, including laptops, computers, mobile phones, garments, fish, cocoa and timber, at risk of being produced through forced labor,” reported

by Edward Helmore for The Guardian in July 2018, when the report was released.

6. Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Sex Trafficking Criminalized for Self-Defense On Jan. 7, outgoing Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam granted clemency to Cyntoia Brown, who had been sentenced to life in prison in 2004, at age 16, for killing a man who bought her for sex and raped her. Brown’s case gained prominence via the support of A-list celebrities and Haslam cited “the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life.”

But despite public impressions, Brown’s case was far from unique.

“There are thousands of Cyntoia Browns in prison,” organizer Mariame Kaba, co-founder of Survived and Punished, told Democracy Now! the next day.

“We should really pay attention to the fact that we should be fighting for all of those to be free,” Kaba said. “When you look at women’s prisons, the overwhelming majority, up to 90 percent of the people in there, have had histories of sexual and physical violence prior to ending up in prison.”

“In contrast to the spate of news coverage from establishment outlets, which focused on Brown’s biography and the details of her case,” Project Censored wrote, “independent news organizations, including The Guardian, Democracy Now!, Rolling Stone and Mother Jones, stood out for reporting that cases like Brown’s are all too common.”

Kaba also wrote The Guardian story referred to, Project Censored noted: Tracing back to myths that arose in the 19th century during slavery , Kaba noted in her The Guardian article that black women “have always been vulnerable to violence” in the US and “have long been judged as having ‘no selves to defend.’” Today, she wrote, self-defense laws that are “interpreted generously” when applied to white men threatened by men of color are often interpreted “very narrowly” when women of color and gender non-conforming people invoke them in domestic violence and sexual assault cases.

Later in January, Kellie Murphy’s Rolling Stone story quoted Alisa Bierria, another Survived and Punished co-founder, and highlighted several other cases prominent in alternative media coverage. In May, Mother Jones reported on the legislative progress that Survived and Punished and its allies had achieved in advancing state and federal legislation.

“The bills in Nevada, Arkansas, Hawaii and Congress, which are based on model legislation and use similar language, would do away with mandatory minimum sentencing requirements for child sex trafficking victims who perpetrate crimes against their abusers,” Olivia Exstrum reported for Mother Jones.

“Currently, state and federal laws don’t give special consideration to such cases, meaning juvenile victims who commit the most serious crimes, like murder, are often tried in adult court with the possibility of decades behind bars.”

“A growing body of research has shown that the trauma that arises from being sex trafficked can affect decision-making, especially in young people,” but that, historically, “that trauma has not been well understood and hasn’t been taken into account when deciding the cases of victims who commit crimes,” Mother Jones went on to note.

“Corporate news organizations provided considerable coverage of Cyntoia Brown’s clemency,” Project Censored noted. “However, many of these reports treated Brown’s case in isolation, emphasizing her biography or the advocacy on her behalf by celebrities such as Rihanna, Drake, LeBron James, and Kim Kardashian West.”

days, or even hours,” ProPublica stated.

In the case of Alex (a 13-year-old from Honduras) used to highlight systemic problems, the police investigation lasted 72 minutes, and resulted in a three sentence report. There was surveillance video showing two older teenagers grabbing him, throwing him to the floor and dragging him into a bedroom.

But ProPublica reported, “An examination of Alex’s case shows that almost every agency charged with helping Alex — with finding out the full extent of what happened in that room — had instead failed him.”

“Because immigrant children in detention are frequently moved, even when an investigator wanted to pursue Khalil Bendib

It went on to cite examples from The New York Times and NBC News that did take a broader view, but failed to focus on sex trafficking or sexual violence.

“Reports that did link Cyntoia Brown’s case to broader patterns of sexual violence and sex trafficking were often filed as opinion pieces, rather than news stories,” Project Censored noted. singling out “one exceptionally detailed piece, written by Andrea Powell and published by NBC News.”

Powell is the founder and executive director of Karana Rising, a nonprofit that supports survivors of human trafficking, and made several points similar to Kaba’s, so there is some awareness of the larger story in corporate media culture. But it hasn’t crossed over from opinion pieces to news coverage.

7. Flawed Investigations of Sexual Assaults in Children’s Immigrant Shelters “Over the past six months, ProPublica has gathered hundreds of police reports detailing allegations of sexual assaults in immigrant children’s shelters,” ProPublica reported in November 2018. “[The shelters] have received $4.5 billion for housing and other services since the surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America in 2014 [and the reports reveal that] both staff and other residents sometimes acted as predators.”

“Again and again, the reports show, the police were quickly — and with little investigation — closing the cases, often within

a case, the child could be moved out of the investigating agency’s jurisdiction in a just few weeks, often without warning,” Project Censored noted. “When children are released, parents or relatives may be reluctant to seek justice, avoiding contact with law enforcement because they are undocumented or living with someone who is.”

Then, in February 2019, Axios reported, “Thousands of allegations of sexual abuse against unaccompanied minors in the custody of the U.S. government have been reported over the past 4 years, according to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) documents given to Axios by Rep. Ted Deutch’s office.” This included 4,556 complaints received by the HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, and 1,303 complaints received by the Department of Justice.

Project Censored noted that there had been some corporate news coverage, including CBS News and The New York Times, “However, in contrast with ProPublica’s coverage, these reports have not highlighted shortcomings in investigations of alleged sexual abuse or the lack of support for survivors after the abuse.”

Continued from page 9 Because forced marriage accounts for 15 million people, more than a third of the global total, it’s not surprising that females form a majority of the victims (71 percent). The highest levels were found in North Korea, where an estimated 2.6 million people — 10% of the population — are victims of modern slavery.

The GSI is produced by the Walk Free Foundation, whose founder, Andrew Forrest, called the U.S. figure, “a truly staggering statistic, (which) is only possible through a tolerance of exploitation.”

“Walk Free’s methodology includes extrapolation using national surveys, databases of information of those who were assisted in trafficking cases, and reports from other agencies like the UN’s International Labour Organization,” explained The Guardian, to compile its figures.

There are problems with this, according to others working in the field, The Guardian noted. There’s no universal legal definition, and tabulation difficulties abound. But the GSI addresses this as an issue for governments to work on and offers specific proposals.

“The GSI noted that forced labor occurred ‘in many contexts’ in the US, including in agriculture, among traveling sales crews, and—as recent legal cases against GEO Group, Inc. have revealed—as the result of compulsory prison labor in privately owned and operated detention facilities contracted by the Department of Homeland Security,” Project Censored noted. “It also points out that migrants — especially migrant women and children — are “particularly vulnerable (in the United States) due to a variety of factors including immigration status, lack of familiarity with U.S. employment protections, and because migrants often work in jobs that are ‘hidden from the public view and unregulated by the government.’”

Newly restrictive immigration policies have further increased the vulnerability of undocumented persons and migrants to modern slavery.

In addition, GSI report on the United States cited three legislative priorities: Enact federal legislation criminalizing forced marriage.

Raise the minimum age for marriage, with or without parental consent to 18 in all states.

Extend legislation prohibiting criminalization of child victims of trafficking to all states.

And called for specific improvements in victim support and to address risk factors. For example: Enforce core labor laws and labor standards for most vulnerable workers, including undocumented or seasonal workers in the United States from Latin and Central America.

Project Censored notes the 2018 GSI “received limited coverage” in the corporate media, citing the New York Times, CNN and CBS News. The Times featured the case of a former North Korean slave now attending Columbia University, “leaving details about the prevalence of slavery in the U.S. to the article’s later paragraphs. CNN noted that the

Raiders. 3 Leg Torso, Little Sue, Michael Allen Harrison, Michael Hurley, Pond, Joanna Bolme and John Mazzocco round out the list. Bolme, in particular, has left prints all over the Portland music scene— from playing in Calamity Jane, to Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and her work alongside the late and great Elliot Smith.

Album of the year goes to The Decemberists.

Industry Don Macleod did wonders for the Portland community when he opened up Music Millennium in 1969—and the independent record store is still open today.

Macleod was also the co-founder of Burnside Records and the Intergalactic Trading Company, which handled vinyl mail orders.

Gary Houston has been creating art and illustrations for the Portland art & music scene for decades with his illustration company Voodoo Catbox. If you’ve spent enough time in Portland or even gone to see a show you’ve probably seen one of his handcrafted show posters—they’re truly works of art.

Larry Crane is the founder of Jackpot!

Studio, which was an integral part to the growing Portland music scene in the late ‘90s, which he worked on closely with Elliot Smith. Crane has worked with some of the best artists out of Oregon and the country, varying from Sleater-Kinney, R.E.M.,

Spoon, Eddie Vedder and more. Crane is also the editor of Tape Op magazine.

Artist of the Year - Ural Thomas Born in Portland in 1939, Ural Thomas was in the doo-wop group The Monterays. From there Thomas was involved in many national works, getting to open for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder and more. He’s still jamming in 2019 with his current band, Ural Thomas and The Pain.

Album of the Year - “I’ll be Your Girl” by The Decemberists Released in 2018, “I’ll Be Your Girl” is the eighth album from the indie rock icons. Totally synthed-out and a bit off the rails with its variety of sound direction, The Decemberists really tried to step into some new territory on this project. Fall feels like the perfect time of the year to revisit this album.

ormed in 2003, the Oregon Music Hall of Fame was created with the intent to help preserve and memorialize the various bands, artists and industry players that have left a great mark on the state of Oregon with their music. To qualify for the OMHOF, an artist needs to either have been born in Oregon and worked in the industry for at least 20 years or have worked those 20 years after moving to Oregon.

This year there are 13 new inductees— all of whom are more than deserving to gain a spot amongst their celebrated peers. Here’s a quick breakdown of the categories and the new members entering the hall.

2019 Event Guide October 23-26 benddesign.org

#BendDesign2019 #BendDesign

BEND DESIGN Welcome to the Fifth Annual Bend Design!

Every October, we convene creative thinkers from a diverse range of practices and professions for talks, workshops, screenings, and problem-solving sessions.

Bend Design’s intimate, welcoming atmosphere enables the leaders of tomorrow to engage with the exceptional, experienced creatives of today. Our participants make new connections, collaborate on new projects, and learn new skills. Together we explore how creative thinking and practices can lift up our lives, our communities, and the wider world.

You're invited to listen, learn, and bring your knowledge to the conversation. It all happens here at Bend Design 2019.

About Scalehouse Bend Design is produced by Scalehouse, a contemporary creative center that shapes our shared future through creativity, collaboration, and conversation.

We believe that our future presents complex challenges and opportunities, not just benefiting from creativity but requiring it. Throughout the year, we convene diverse thinkers for in-depth discussions, artistic expression, and hands-on collaboration. At energetic gatherings, our audiences interact directly with artists, designers, civic leaders, and cultural visionaries, working alongside them to solve pressing problems in our communities and the world at large.

We are member-supported and we hope you will join us on this creative movement. www.scalehouse.org.

Board Members: Sandy Anderson, Kiel Fletcher, RenĂŠ Mitchell, Martha Murray, Jenna Goldsmith, and Robert Johans.

Main Stage Highlight: Engaging in Disability as a Creative Practice with Liz Jackson Designers are increasingly referring to disability in terms of accessibility. But accessibility is only one part of disability; it’s the need. And it is being taught at the exclusion of disability history, disability culture, and disability theory. Liz discusses the impact of engaging in disability, not as a problem to be solved, but rather as a discipline and a creative practice. This presentation teaches designers how to design WITH, rather than for disability.

Companies On The Rise

Local companies Riff Cold Brewed and Meli Wraps reach the finalist stage at the Bend Venture Conference

By Isaac Biehl

Riff Cold Brewed One of Riff’s newest products, the Alter Ego sparkling coffeefruit tea, is changing the process of harvesting coffee beans and eliminating waste at the same time.

As Riff co-founder and CEO Paul Evers tells me, during the harvest, coffee farms de-pulp the beans from the coffeefruit and then the rest is left to rot in the field. Through research, Evers and company estimate that there will be 100 billion pounds of coffeefruit that’s wasted this year. If it’s not properly managed, the fruit rots and generates methane gas, can end up in streams and destroy ecosystems and cause even more damage.

Riff has made it their mission to use the rest of the fruit that gets left behind.

“The analogy I share with people is it’s like picking an apricot off the tree, extracting the pit and making a beverage with it and taking the rest of the fruit and throwing it away,” says Evers. “Coffeefruit tastes very different than coffee— it’s incredibly delicious, naturally sweet and caffeinated. By reducing the amount of waste at the source we’re helping the environment, and it requires virtually no additional investment in infrastructure for farmers. But they can potentially double their revenue stream.”

Through the process of upcycling the fruit, Riff is creating a clean, all-natural energy drink and something unique in this area of the beverage industry. Even through Alter Ego’s packaging and shelf life, the footprint left behind by the process of distribution is cut back greatly. From the beginning of the fruit being harvested, to the brewing process and the final packaging, Alter Ego is a product that was built for the environment.

“We’re super excited about this because our DNA is about innovation,” adds Evers. “We aspire to be a company that does good—in all ways.”

Meli Wraps Founded in 2015 by longtime friends Melia Foster and Nicole Galchutt, Meli Wraps began with creating reusable food wraps out of their garage. Fast forward to 2019 and now the duo is ready to present at BVC. “It is such a privilege to get to be a part of this conference and being able to compete with some other awesome

companies,” says Galchutt. “Getting the congrats email after passing through each stage has led to many happy dances, as we really want to win this so we can grow our company larger—which means making a bigger impact in our environment.”

Meli Wraps are designed to serve as an easy alternative to store food using something other than single-use plastics, such as plastic bags or wraps. The wraps are made from GOTS organic cotton, locally sourced beeswax, tree resin, organic coconut oil and organic jojoba oil.

“The beeswax blend is infused into our fabric, which also has preservative qualities to keep food fresh longer when stored in a wrap, which in turn helps to lessen food waste,” explains Galchutt.

Users can actually wash Meli Wraps around 150 times. When it looks like their lifespan is up, the wraps can be cut into strips and naturally composted. This helps eliminate plastic from ending up in the oceans and rivers and prevents plastics from sitting in a landfill where the

Bend Venture Conference

Art vs Artificial Intelligence

n his body of work on display now at Pence Pinckney Gallery at Central Oregon Community College, interactive media and video artist Kiel Fletcher exhibits work seated in artificial intelligence and technology. Through varied independent and collaborative pieces, Fletcher seems to invite the viewer, and at times the unwitting

products can produce harmful chemicals. Each wrap features a gorgeous and unique print to make them stand out, and Meli Wraps also come in different sizes to fit various food storage needs.

The other two categories in the BVC include the Early Stage and Growth Stage.

The former is dedicated to companies— which don’t necessarily have to hail from Central Oregon— that “have a great idea and are close to proof of concept, are pre, or very early, revenue and are in the process of testing their product in the market.” The winner of this competition can be awarded a $25,000 investment courtesy of the Portland Seed Fund. Then the Growth Stage showcases companies that “have a proven concept, have generated initial revenues and are prepared to scale quickly with investment.” Finalists here could collect $250,000 or more in investments.

participant, to question whether technology is a thing to revere or to be wary of.

With pieces such as “Interactive,” a collaboration with Ron Sparks, Fletcher reminds visitors that the words people use within earshot of a discrete

microphone elicit a response—displaying images and GIFs in an unending stream, underscoring the reality that this routinely happens when people are online.

In “Quorra 1 & 2,” we witness the frailty of a suicide prevention bot as it fails

to track the intricacies of a basic human interaction. In discussing the work, Fletcher states, “With a lot of the work in here, I am trying to poke at the idea of A.I., artificial intelligence, in the sense that it IS artificial and is not actually that smart. These technologies can be really… impressive but they can also fall flat at the same time.”

This is a show worth seeing. Its success is in poignant moments, such as the collaborative pieces with writer Jenna Goldsmith, in which poetry is read over a film of spliced images from Google Maps, or the fact that work is made with the very technology it’s critiquing—exposing technology’s potential for beauty and failure alike.

T

he Bend Venture Conference showcases the what’s what and the who’s who of business happening in the region. This year’s conference—the largest “angel” conference in the Northwest—takes place on Oct. 17 and 18 and is featuring two companies from Bend that have made it to the finals of the Impact Stage.

According to the BVC website, the Impact Stage “honors for-profit businesses that are still in early evolution stages of their business. These companies have a social or environmental mission integrated into the core of their business.” The winner of the Impact competition could end up with up to $100,000 in investments.

We spoke to some of the folks behind Riff Cold Brewed and Meli Wraps to gain insight into their businesses, and to find out what makes each business deserving of a finalist spot for the Impact Stage at this year’s BVC.

Modern Meat Markets

Hometown butcher shops offer that personal connection, so common in days gone by

LITTLE BITES

Game Changer: Hop Water Non-alcoholic hop-infused water is a delight for drinkers and non-drinkers alike Old-world methods and family traditions are alive and well at Sisters Meat and Smokehouse.

which led to the decline of things such as the local butcher shop.

But the pendulum always seems to swing back. Here we are in the 2020s, and guess what’s cropping up in communities all over the country?? Yep, you got it: local meat shops, focused on local products. “We do think of it as kind of a three-headed monster. It’s about selling great beer, great house-smoked meats and sandwiches made from those meats, and it’s also about a fresh case full of house-stuffed sausages, dry-aged steak, pork and chicken all from as close to the shop as we can get it,” says Williams.

The other real throwback is the human connection. As Johnson explains, “This is still a place where you can come in and actually talk to the person that makes what we sell.”

Stories of the good ol’ days of hog butchering on the farm and everybody having a smokehouse on their property may be part of the inspiration behind the current obsession with everything “local.” That, and the realization that it’s healthier for people—and the planet in general—if people can eat food that comes from nearby. That includes meats.

To recap: Primal Cuts Market on Galveston in Bend is where visitors will find a case full of things such as house made sausages, smoked bacon, dry aged ribeye and deli meats. There’s also a freezer filled with local Wagyu beef, lamb, soup stocks and more. Patrons can order deli sandwiches and charcuterie boards, along with daily specials. Shelves are stocked with handcrafted specialty items such as Primal’s famous pickled onions. There’s also the option to fill a growler or grab a pint.

In Sisters, the go-to local meat shop is the artisanal butchery and eatery known as Sisters Meat and Smokehouse.

Offerings include in-house smoked jerky and other meats and cheeses as well as freshly cut meats. There’s also a freezer full of things such as ground bison, bratwurst and dog bones. The lunch/early dinner menu features deli sandwiches using the meats smoked in-house and charcuterie. Handcrafted jams and seasonings line the shelves and local beers and wines are on tap.

Lovers of hops—but not necessarily booze: Prepare to have your Minds. Blown.

A new drink, made in Bend, is offering that hoppy flavor people love, but without the alcohol. Heck, there isn’t even any malt to interfere with people’s love for the popular flowering vine that put Oregon beer on the map.

Oregon Hop Springs is a sparkling water with hops added. Founders Cindy and Dave Glick dropped a six pack off at the Source Weekly recently—and with this thirsty crew, suffice to say it didn’t last long. The drinkers among us liked it for that hoppy taste that would allow one to sip freely, without the worry of getting too tipsy.

“It’s a good drink after you’ve had enough IPAs, but you don’t want to leave the party,” Cindy Glick told the Source.

The non-drinkers liked it as an alternative to the other non-alcoholic beer options on the market—currently, mostly limited to lager-type brews that don’t scream hops. Even the kids of the Source got in on the action, stoked to get to “taste what beer tastes like.”

The Glicks—who recently retired from careers in education and forestry— got the idea from their oldest son, who works in Asia, where he discovered a similar Japanese product. Thinking the idea could be made with Northwest hops, the couple set out to experiment with different recipes. The final product is made with organic Citra and Mosaic hops sourced from the Willamette Valley.

In Bend, find Oregon Hop Springs at Newport Market, West Coast Provisions and Mother’s Juice Cafe.

In Sisters, find it at Melvin’s, Cascade Trail Stop and other spots. It’s also available at Life Source Natural Foods in Salem, and Silver Falls Brewery in Silverton.

“I

t’s a little-known secret that I bought a meat shop so that I could continue to make soup,” jokes Jake Williams, owner/manager of Primal Cuts Meat Market on Bend’s west side.

He enjoys making soup from scratch, using the daily leftover bits and pieces from Primal’s butcher shop. But let’s get something straight: Primal isn’t your great-grandma’s butchery… unless there was a bar with three dozen tap handles offering beer, cider, and CBD sodas in grandma’s shop!

Yet Williams and his counterpart, Jeff Johnson, CEO of Sisters Meat and Smokehouse, are both in the business of keeping old-world methods and family traditions alive and well in their modern-day, local meat shops. Johnson partnered with Master Smoker and third-generation Oregon meat craftsman Brody Waller to open the shop in Sisters, where they’re keeping Waller’s Grandpa Jack’s legacy going strong.

Grandpa Jack’s old sausage stuffer and carcass hanger are displayed in the shop, among other memorabilia.

Rewind 100 years to the 1920s, when local butcher shops were a fixture in most American towns and cities. For thousands of years before that, beginning with the earliest hunter-gatherer tribes, butchers served a valuable purpose in human society: slaughtering, dressing, and cutting meat, fowl and fish for human consumption. Interestingly, 1916 was a historic year for the grocery industry; it was when Clarence Saunders opened the first-ever “self-service” grocery store in Memphis, Tennessee. Saunders’ Piggly Wiggly was just the beginning of what you might call the golden age of the supermarket,

Enjoying fresh hop season with a Feels Like the Fresh Time at Boneyard Pub.

I

t’s that time of year again: fresh hop season! During this time of year, the hops are ripe and plump for the picking, and fresh hop beers come out in droves. The smell of lupulin is in the air. Ahhhhh. During this season, beer is brewed with fresh hops that haven’t been dried or processed in any way. Often brewers—especially those with larger commercial systems—brew with hops that have been processed and pressed into pellets. They may “dry hop” a beer as well by adding dried hops to the brew after they’ve boiled it. This gives it a fresher, brighter note.

With a fresh hop beer, they’re brewing with fresh-off-the-bine hops. This is sometimes called wet hopping.

You might be thinking, ‘no way…

I won’t like a fresh hop beer. I hate bitter IPAs.’ Well, guess what: fresh hopping a beer actually lessens the bitterness often found in a traditional NW IPA. Instead, it’s fresh. It tastes green, or may even be citrusy, depending on the hops.

My very first fresh hop beer for 2019 was Boneyard’s Feels Like the Fresh Time. Remember when we talked about bitterness? Well, this beer is at a 35 on the International Bittering Unit scale. That’s a low IBU for an IPA. This beer is also what you would call a SMaSH beer—or Single Hop and Single Malt beer—because this beer uses 100% Coleman Farms Simcoe hops and 100% Maris Otter malt. The hops were

picked, thrown on a truck and delivered to Boneyard’s kettle ALL IN THE SAME DAY. You cannot get fresher than that, and at $5 a pint, that’s phenomenal.

The thing I like most about a fresh hop beer is the aroma, and this beer was no exception. The smell is bright.

It’s like I crushed a hop in my hand and brought it up to my nose. It’s vibrant and green. Interesting factoid… people who “don’t like IPAs” also often don’t like cilantro. Both smell and taste “soapy” to them.

OK, back to this Boneyard beer.

There’s absolutely no hop astringency in Feels Like the Fresh Time. On my palate I get light hints of melon and a lovely grassiness, sometimes called “barnyard.” Ever so slightly I can pick up a spice, like black pepper, and in the finish a slight “dankness.” Simcoe hops are fantastic. As the beer warmed up it became complex. The biscuit, bready flavor from the malt began to meld in with the hops and it became complex. I was not expecting that in this beer. Fresh hop beers warm are usually no bueno for me!

Boneyard is a must visit for Central Oregon visitors. Their main distribution is in keg form. Boneyard beers are what us beer geeks call “whales,” or “white whales.” They’re hard to get and sought after outside of the Northwest.

If you give a crowler of Boneyard to an East Coast beer geek, they’re going to owe you big time.

A Conversation with FILM SHORTS Christine Vachon The producer behind “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” will earn the Indie Woman of the Year award at this year’s BendFilm

By Teafly Peterson Killer Films

ABOMINABLE: You know what I think is abominable? That this is the third cartoon in the last year about The Abominable Snowman/ Sasquatch. While I’m sure “Abominable” is probably pretty cute, “The Missing Link” was a downright classic from Portland’s Laika animation studio. Support the movie that did it first!

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema AD ASTRA: Brad Pitt takes on space pirates, daddy issues and crippling isolation in director James Gray’s newest exploration of fragile masculinity.

“Ad Astra” is almost a great film, hampered by an underdeveloped script and weird tonal issues throughout, but the visuals are so outstanding that it’s hard not to recommend the film. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

Christine Vachon will take part in several conversations throughout the BendFilm weekend, in addition to screenings of four of her films.

I

f you were a queer kid, an outsider, or a weirdo growing up in the ‘90s and you wanted to see yourself on film, Christine Vachon had your back. The legendary indie producer will have four of her groundbreaking films screened at this year’s BendFilm festival, where she’ll also be honored with the Indie Woman of the Year award.

Vachon is known for bringing the stories of the un-championed to the screen and creating modern classics. BendFilm will screen a number of her films, including “Hedwig and The Angry Inch,” “Carol,” “First Reformed” and “Boys Don’t Cry.” Ahead of the festival, I had the opportunity to chat with Vachon.

Source Weekly: Where did your love of film begin?

Christine Vachon: I was lucky enough to grow up in New York City and we could walk to the movie theater. On the Upper Westside there were a lot of movie theaters and most importantly, the type of movie theaters that is pretty much extinct now: the second-run movie theater where you could go see movies for a dollar. From the time I was 8 or 9 years old, because it was a different time, we could run around by ourselves and stand outside the movie theater, if it was R rated, and get an adult to walk us in.

SW: Do you remember a film you fell in love with as a kid?

CV: “The Poseidon Adventure.” It had everything!

SW: Why did you chose to be a producer, rather than making your own films?

Often producers are credited with bringing other’s vision to life. What made you want to do that?

CV: I don’t think it is fair to producers or producing to boil it down to bringing other people’s visions to life, since so often the material originates with us. We often are the ones who bring on the other creative elements, like the writer or the director or

both. Ultimately we will get behind a director to work very hard to make sure we all have the same vision and we will work very hard to execute that director’s vision, but I find it always a little disheartening when people feel compelled to remove the art of producing from the creative process.

SW: What kind of projects do you want to work with?

CV: It’s complicated, but ultimately, does the story feel compelling? Does it feel resonant for our times? Is the script strong and does it feel like a story we haven’t seen before? Then there is the consideration of whatever elements are attached, the director, the actors, what have you. And finally, is this something we can pull off?

SW: Have the stories you have wanted to bring to life changed over the past 30 years?

CV: Well, I think the stories we want to see have certainly changed. Especially because of the different ways that we want to consume media now. I think the fact that there is streaming services that are doing all kinds of content has allowed probably a lot of the stories that are more provocative to migrate over to television, streaming services, etc. Whereas theatrical filmmaking has… At the end of the day what it really means is that making a theatrical motion picture that is not a superhero movie is actually more of a challenge than it has been.

SW: What stories are you interested in telling in the future that you haven’t seen yet?

CV: Oh, I don’t know, I’ll know it when I see it.

“Carol” screening, and a conversation with Christine Vachon

ANGEL HAS FALLEN: Gerard Butler kills things. Morgan Freeman is president. That one guy who’s always a bad guy is the bad guy. Nick Nolte looks like he got put away wet. Things explode. There’s a knife fight. It will make all the money... and next year we’ll get Arches Have Fallen, about a terrorist with flat feet. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON: The always wonderful Jillian Bell plays an unhealthy woman entering her 30s who takes up running as she works toward competing in the New York City marathon. This could have ended up being a cheesy inspirational flick but instead is a very funny look at mental and physical health. A gem. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Tin Pan Theater 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub DOWNTON ABBEY: The show ended with enough dangling threads to leave the possibility of a movie open and here it is. All the characters we know and love have returned, making this an all-star…wait a second. I just figured it out. This is like “The Avengers” for people who like the aristocracy. I get it now. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House 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 HUSTLERS: Jennifer Lopez and company bring us a movie about strippers with hearts of gold drugging and ripping off Wall Street dicks who helped ruin the economy. This is a surprisingly big hit already and a much

IT: CHAPTER TWO: While the movie is still quite fun and is filled with some bravura horror set pieces, it’s such an unwieldy mess that it’s hard to recommend. Bill Hader should be in more horror movies though. That guy’s got a future in the movie business. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub JOKER: Massively controversial before it was even released, “Joker” takes a run at the origin story for one of pop culture’s biggest villains and gives him a soul. Not deserving of all the bile, this is a comic book movie that flirts with controversy while etching out its own dark territory.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub JUDY: Renee Zellweger dives deep into her portrayal of cinema legend Judy Garland and will most likely be making new shelf space for fistfuls of acting awards. Even when the film becomes somewhat maudlin, Zellweger always remains remarkable.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House 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 RAMBO: LAST BLOOD: This new and supposedly final entry in the franchise sees Stallone take on drug cartels for revenge purposes, I assume. It’s always pretty fun watching Stallone kill people, so hopefully he can keep up the good work with this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema THE ADDAMS FAMILY: Oscar Isaac was born to play Gomez Addams in a live action movie, but an animated one will have to do. This should be a visually stunning bit of weirdness if they keep things dark enough to see how creepy the Addams family really is. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, THE LION KING: Look, I’m sure this movie is 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 THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON: One of the sweetest movies ever made. The film follows a young man with Down syndrome following his dream to be a professional wrestler.

Part Mark Twain and part southern gothic fairytale, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” is the textbook definition of a crowd pleaser. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

People may know Aquaglide for the 25 unique models and numerous accessories it manufactures. The company’s inflatables can be seen navigating the urban Deschutes River corridor, Elk Lake and a myriad of other Central Oregon waterways.

Coming from management positions with companies including K2, Mastercraft Boat Company, Mammut and the North Face, Cunningham got to know Bend in college, on rock climbing and mountain biking sojourns. His willingness to lead the operation after its acquisition was dependent on the company being located here in Central Oregon.

“It’s hard to put a price on proximity poised for product development and quality of life for my workforce,” Cunningham explains.

Esselman adds, “If we don’t have an authentic love for watersports then it won’t be conveyed to the consumer through our products in an authentic way. It would be so much harder for our staff to get out and enjoy the water if we weren’t located in Bend.”

Navigating toward the horizon, Esselman is stoked to build Aquaglide’s community presence through local events, including river cleanups.

Cunningham looks forward to being ingrained in “the fabric of the community, the way brands like Hydroflask and Ruffwear are. A local staple.”

Product development was a recurring topic during the shoot. “How does this volume feel? Are you sitting low in the water? Is this a good shape? What about the decking?” Jackson Esselman, global director of marketing, continually inquired us paddle posers about a number of features.

Aquaglide designs and manufactures aquaparks, inflatable kayaks, standup paddle boards and towables for watersports enthusiasts and outdoor recreationalists.

The company moved to Bend last October, after being acquired by Kent Watersports. Its offices are located on NW Wall and Portland, near downtown Bend.

Jeff Cunningham, who took the helm as general manager for Aquaglide in August 2018, following the

ease of transportation and storage is a key factor. “You can roll incognito,” said Cunningham, with a cheeky grin.

“You may live in an apartment or ride a motorcycle. Aquaglide has a paddle solution for that. Inflatables make accessing the water so much easier for everyone.”

Single and tandem paddle crafts are just the tip of the iceberg for Aquaglide. Internationally renowned for its innovative and one-of-a kind, water-based inflatable aqua parks, these mini water parks are blowing minds in over 80 countries. Picture a super forgiving ninja warrior gauntlet crossed with an obstacle course playground.

Where Have All the Bugs and Birds Gone?

Reports of staggering bird population declines

By Jim Anderson in your neighborhood were empty, you’d rightly conclude that something threatening was going on.”

Then the scientist put it into another realm of understanding: “If 3 billion of our neighbors—the ones who eat the bugs that destroy our food plants, carry diseases like Equine Encephalitis, are gone, I think we all may stop to think that’s threatening.”

I’ll put it into another example; “If 3 billion of our neighbors who eat mosquitoes suddenly vanished, wouldn’t that be a very serious situation.”

Somehow, right this moment, and without any really good working hypothesis of how it happened, there is a sudden outbreak in parts of North American of an Asian disease carried by mosquitoes.

It is impossible to spray all the real estate and aquatic communities to kill mosquitoes in such numbers as to halt the threat of that Asian dilemma from spreading. If we did spray, the damages to non-target ecosystems would be so catastrophic it would upset the apple cart everywhere. We must depend on natural controls, and one of the most effective are swallows.

As an example, a Cornell researcher put the missing bird situation in a way that makes all the sense in the world to me: using Evening grosbeaks. When he was a youngster he saw “invasions” of them, but today, he gets excited if he sees just one.

That’s very similar to what I have observed, but in an even shorter period of time. My family and I have lived at Sun Mountain for over 40 years, feeding backyard birds from the first day we arrived.

When we arrived at this location, we had over a dozen Evening grosbeaks coming to our feeder daily. In fact, we had more grosbeaks than house sparrows. Over the

years the house sparrow population has grown, while we haven’t seen a grosbeak in well over 15 years. Did the house sparrows drive them out, or is avian salmonella getting them, like other bird species?

Avian researchers say habitat loss is a big reason for birds vanishing—but then, a 2015 study said domestic and feral house cats kill over 2.6 billion birds annually. Studies on birds killed from striking windows is also staggering: somewhere around 624 million, while automobile strikes accounted for another 214 million dead birds.

Keeping your house cat at home will help reduce cat-killed bird numbers, and removing feral cats will also be a big help in reducing cat-killed birds.

The best way to solve the bird-strike on windows is by sticking a silhouette of an accipiter (bird hawk) on your window. That usually works pretty well in keeping most birds from trying to fly through your house.

And please, remember Rachel Carson, the author of “Silent Spring,” published as a warning about the harmful elements we are coping with in the technological world. She told us what too many powerful

chemicals will do to the Earth — and us — if we weren’t cautious.

Unfortunately, I fear Carson was more than correct. What she predicted is happening today, and if we don’t stop pouring chemicals into our soil and water it’s going to be more than birds and insects that will disappear.

As an example, the Oregon Department of Transportation sprayed a weed-killer along Hwy 20 awhile back, killing thousands of pine trees along the roadway. The dead trees have been removed, but the stuff that killed them is still in the soil—doing what, I wonder…

If we stop using pesticides and herbicides in our own backyards, that will be a beginning. If we take the time to think and understand what chemical applications do in the long run, and stop them before they start, the world will be a healthier place.

Birds and bats eat mosquitoes; all we have to do is make it easier for them to do so and we can stop mosquito-borne diseases. We won’t need to spray to kill mosquitoes.

ot too long ago, I became aware that insects are disappearing from the earth, not just here in the Pacific Northwest, but around the U.S., and in Europe.

That’s a very serious state of affairs.

Without insects we won’t have the tools to pollinate the marvelous variety of plants that grow on this good earth, among them a lot of the foods we eat.

Now I’m receiving notices about birds also disappearing. One headline from the Associated Press states: “Where are the wild birds? 3 billion fewer than 1970,” which was based on the Science article, “Staggering decline of bird populations.”

Conservation scientists at Cornell University discovered this drop in bird populations and are wondering why and what can be done to stop it.

This is part of what the Christmas Bird Count is all about. We do it to spot population trends. The National Audubon Society started these counts over 100 years ago, amassing bird numbers all across the U.S. and Canada. It appears the scientists at Cornell decided to take a look at the numbers and see if or what was happening in bird populations across the board.

Another scientist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, after reading the Cornell study, stated, “This is a landmark paper, it’s put numbers to everyone’s fears about what’s going on.” But it doesn’t tell us “what’s” going on; just that it has happened.

Every year the state ornithologist at the University of Connecticut received calls from throughout the state from people noticing a drop in bird numbers.

This prompted the scientist to say, “If you came out of your house one morning and noticed that a third of all the houses

Cold weather doesn’t have to mean higher energy bills Easy ways to seal up drafts include replacing worn weather stripping around doors and windows, installing a draft stop below leaky exterior doors and adding insulated gaskets at electrical receptacles and switch plates. If there’s a fireplace in the home, close the damper. Leaving the damper open while the fireplace isn’t in use is like leaving a window open, allowing warm air to escape through the chimney.

Quick Tips Ceiling fan: The switch on the ceiling fan does have a use: it reverses the blade direction. In the summer it’s used to cool a room by pulling hot air upward.

Reversing directions will force the warm air down and help to circulate the air, providing a more consistent temperature throughout the home.

Passive solar and window coverings: Opening window coverings on south-facing windows during the day helps promote passive solar heating.

Using insulated window coverings helps keep the heat in and the cold out.

Mind tricks: Place an attractive throw blanket on furniture and colorful rugs on hard surfaces to create a more pleasant and cozy ambience, which will reduce the mental urge to crank up the furnace.

T

he arrival of snow in September had Central Oregonians thinking about cold winter and firing up the furnace.

Even though there are a couple more months of fall, it’s prime time to start getting homes ready for winter. There are projects for every budget; some best left to the pros, but most DIY-friendly—and they’ll all help keep homes warmer and energy bills lower.

Heating/ Ventilation/ Air Conditioning (HVAC) system: Call in a professional for an inspection, evaluation and cleaning to ensure the systems are running efficiently. Even just changing the furnace filter is a simple DIY task that will help the system “breathe” properly with less effort, which equates to less energy needs to operate.

Thermostat: Programming the thermostat or installing a Smart Thermostat will save energy use by controlling temperatures that match people’s daily schedule and needs. Instead of keeping a home at a constant temperature it’s most efficient to keep the temperature lower when nobody is home or is sleeping and at a warmer temperature while awake at home.

Smart thermostats learn a household’s habits and actually self-program, while also allowing users to operate the system remotely and turn up the temps before everyone arrives home. Another easy tip is shut the doors to rooms not being used.

That’s zonal heating on a budget.

Sealing the home envelope: Sealing up drafts from doors, windows and other areas will help keep homes feeling warmer. Check for drafts by looking for cracks, gaps or openings, especially in the attic or basement and around doors and windows.

Currently, home has 3 rentals professionally managed. Two bdrms in main house and 1 bdrm/bath in each guest quarters. Updated kitchen. Private setting. 7 acres. Shop and RV parking.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS TheAbout Dumpster Fire Within six weeks ago, I started

dating the nicest guy. I have some intimacy issues (basically, fear of abandonment), and having somebody be nice to me is new and uncomfortable. I freaked out one night and had sex with somebody else. I know this guy I’m dating isn’t sleeping with other women, but we haven’t had the official talk. I don’t plan on doing this again, but I really want to confess.

The guilt is terrible.

--Disgusted With Myself The only man in your life with whom you should be discussing your recent sexual history is Dr. Maury Finkelbaum, your 7,000-year-old gynecologist.

You and Neighbordude might be all kinds of fond of each other, but you have no agreement for sexual exclusivity, and you can’t violate a treaty that doesn’t actually exist. Still, assuming that he isn’t getting it on with anyone else, it’s natural that you’d feel guilty about an apparent asymmetry in sexual grazing.

Human psychology evolved to have a sort of inner accounting staff monitoring the fairness level of our behavior -- calculating whether we’re giving as much as we’re getting. However, unlike everybody’s grandma, evolution doesn’t care whether we’re nice people. It just wants us to survive so we can pass on our genes. Accordingly, this fairness monitoring system safeguards our physical survival through safeguarding our social survival. (In ancestral times, slackers or freeloaders booted from the ancestral band markedly increased their chances of becoming some sharp-fanged thing’s Sunday brunch entree.)

Even today, when we perceive that we’re getting more than our fair share of something -- whether it’s cake or sex with hot strangers -- our behavioral accounts payable team pings us in the form of feelbad: the noxious, gut-churning feeling of guilt (and/or its poisonous BFF, shame).

Research by evolutionary psychologist Daniel Sznycer and his colleagues deems guilt a “recalibrational emotion.”

Translated from the Professorese, this means that our wanting to stop the feelbad from guilt motivates us to even the balance between ourselves and somebody we’ve shorted in some way.

The thing is, emotion, which rises up automatically, with no effort from us, needs to be fact-checked by reason.

Unfortunately, reason has to be dragged out of bed and forced to work. And that’s what you need to do with yours. Again, remember that you and this guy had no

exclusivity agreement that would have barred you from venturing into other men’s beds, back seats, or sex dungeons.

Also, let’s get real on why you’re longing to tell. It isn’t to make the guy feel better but to make yourself feel better -- to rid yourself of the psychological tension that comes from holding back information.

(It’s basically the emotional version of a really bad need to pee.)

Next, consider the view from psychiatrist and evolutionary researcher Randolph Nesse that painful emoAmy Alkon tions are important motivational tools -- just like physical pain, when you, say, lean back at a party, all apex of cool, and rest your palm on a hot stove.

Just as the searing pain gets you to lift your hand pronto, you can use your guilt-induced discomfort in a positive way: as reinforcement against your stepping out on the guy once you two do have a relationship.

Other helpful insight comes from research on “attachment.” The “attachment behavioral system,” explain social scientists Mario Mikulencer and Philip Shaver, motivates human beings, from infancy on, “to seek proximity to significant others (attachment figures) in times of need.” A person’s “attachment style” indicates the degree to which a person “worries that a partner will not be responsive in times of need” (including the worry that one’s partner will flee the relationship entirely).

However, Mikulencer and Shaver note that “a growing body of research shows that attachment style can change, subtly or dramatically.” One way to change it is through asking your partner to be very physically and emotionally expressive with you in loving, cuddly-wuddly ways. Research by psychologist Brooke C. Feeney finds that the more an insecurely attached person sees their partner is there for them -- like with touch that “conveys acceptance, warmth, and intimacy” -- the more independent (that is, the less clingoramous) they can be.

Finally, there’s something you can do to help yourself feel more secure, per Mikulencer and Shaver’s research: Turn on the TV in your head and run helpful programming -- mental video of warm, fuzzy “attachment figures.” The researchers explain that “thoughts of an available and supportive attachment figure” lead people with a lot of attachment insecurities “to behave more like secure people.” Or, putting this another way, your response to a man being really loving to you would be to give love in return -- as opposed to giving excuses like “I was so freaked out by how nice you were to me that I tripped and fell on somebody else’s penis.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Love is when you

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are embarking on a vigorous new phase of self-redefi nition. I trust you are excited about shedding old ways of thinking about yourself and eager to revise and re-imagine the plot of your life story. As you do, keep in mind this helpful counsel from physicist Richard Feynman: “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): “Experiment is the sole source of truth,” wrote philosopher and polymath Henri Poincaré.

“It alone can teach us something new; it alone can give us certainty.” He wasn’t merely referring to the kinds of experiments that scientists conduct in laboratories. He was talking about the probes and explorations we can and should carry out in the course of our daily lives. I mention this, Aquarius, because the coming days will be prime time for you to do just that: ask provocative questions, initiate novel adventures, and incite fun learning experiences.

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

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In my opinion, Pis-

under no obligation to make sense to you,” declared astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. If that’s even a little bit true, I bet you won’t believe it in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, the universe will make a great deal of sense to you—at times even exquisite, beautiful, breathtaking sense. Life will be in a revelatory and articulate mood. The evocative clues coming your way about the nature of reality could tempt you to believe that there is indeed a coherent plan and meaning to your personal destiny.

cean singer, poet, and actor Saul Williams produces high-quality art. So he has earned a right to critique mediocre art. In speaking about movies and TV shows that are hard to enjoy unless we dumb ourselves down, he says that “we have more guilty pleasure than actual f------ pleasure.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to cut back on your “guiity pleasures”—the entertainment, art, and socializing that brings meager returns—as you increase and upgrade your actual f------ pleasure.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Constantine P. Cavafy’s poem “Waiting for the Barbarians” imagines the imminent arrival of an unpredictable agent of chaos. “The barbarians are coming today,” declares the narrator. Everyone in town is uneasy.

People’s routines are in disarray. Faces look worried. What’s going to happen? But the poem has a surprise ending. “It is night, and the barbarians haven’t come,” reports the narrator. “Some people have arrived from the frontier and say that there aren’t any more barbarians.” I propose that we use this scene as a metaphor for your life right now, Taurus.

It’s quite possible that the perceived threat isn’t really a threat. So here’s my question, taken from near the end of the poem: “What are we going to do now without the barbarians?”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some folklorists prefer the term “wonder tales” rather than “fairy tales.” Indeed, many such stories are fi lled with marvelous events that feature magical transformations, talking animals, and mythical creatures like elves and dragons and unicorns. I bring this up, Gemini, because I want to encourage you to read some wonder tales. Hopefully, as you do, you’ll be inspired to re-imagine your life as a wonder tale; you’ll reframe the events of the “real world” around you as being elements in a richly entertaining wonder tale. Why do I recommend this? Because wonder tales are like waking dreams that reveal the wishes and curiosities and fascinations of your deep psyche. And I think you will benefi t profoundly in the

coming weeks from consciously tuning in to those wishes and curiosities and fascinations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suspect that in the coming days you’ll be able to see into everyone’s souls more vividly than usual. You’ll have a special talent for piercing through the outer trappings of their personalities so as to gaze at the essence beneath.

It’s as if your eyes will be blessed by an enhancement that enables you to discern what’s often hidden. This upgrade in your perception may at times be unsettling. For some of the people you behold, the difference between how they present themselves and who they actually are will be dramatic. But for the most part, penetrating to the depths should be fun, enriching, even healing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “This heart is rusty,” writes poet Gabriel Gadfl y. “It creaks, it clanks, it crashes and rattles and bangs.” Why is his heart in such a state? Because he has been separated from a person he loves. And so he’s out of practice in doing the little things, the caring gestures and tender words, that a lover does to keep the heart well-oiled. It’s my observation that most of us go through rusty-heart phases like this even when we are living in close proximity to an intimate ally. We neglect to practice the art of bestowing affectionate attention and low-key adoration. We forget how important it is for our own welfare that we continually refresh and reinvigorate our heart intelligence. These are good meditations for you right now, Leo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “All the effort in the world won’t matter if you’re not inspired,” writes novelist Chuck Palahniuk. I agree! And that’s a key meditation for you right now. Your assignment is to enhance and upgrade the inspiration you feel about the activities that are most important to you—the work and the play that give you the sense you’re living a meaningful life. So how do you boost your excitement and motivation for those essential actions you do on a regular basis? Here’s a good place to begin: visualize in exuberant detail all the reasons you started doing them in the fi rst place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve probably heard the saying, “Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration.” It’s often attributed to inventor Thomas Edison. Sixteenth-century artist Michelangelo expressed a similar idea. “If you knew how much labor went into it, you would not call it genius,” he said about one of his masterpieces. I’m guessing that you Scorpios have been in a phase when these descriptions are highly apropos. The work you’ve been doing may look productive and interesting and heroic to the casual observer, and maybe only you know how arduous and exacting it has been. So now what do you do? I say it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your efforts. Celebrate! Give yourself a thrilling gift.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2005, Facebook was a start-up company barely on the map of the internet. Its president asked graffi ti artist David Choe to paint murals on the walls of its headquarters. Choe asked for $60,000, but the president convinced him to be paid with Facebook stock instead. Years later, when Facebook went public, Choe became a multi-millionaire. I suspect that in the coming months you will be faced with choices that are less spectacular than that, Capricorn, but similar and important. My conclusion: Be willing to consider smart gambles when projects are germinating.

meet someone who tells you something new about yourself,” wrote poet André Breton. I think that’s an excellent principle to put at the top of your priority list in the coming weeks, Aries. To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, you should seek input from allies who’ll offer insights about you that are outside your current conceptions of yourself.

You might even be daring enough to place yourself in the paths of strangers, acquaintances, animals, and teachers who can provide novel refl ections. There’s just one caveat: Stay away from people who might be inclined to fl ing negative feedback.

Deschutes County: The Land of Endless Youth Activity Centers

By Jeremy Dickman

L

et’s get this out of the way early: I don’t advocate marijuana use by anyone under the age of 21, and I’ve never met a marijuana user who does.

Chronic marijuana use, so to speak, by children and teens has been associated with greater high-school dropout rates, more dependency on government assistance and lower employment rates. There’s debate about whether these outcomes are directly related to marijuana, as opposed to merely being reflective of other conditions at home for kids with easy access to weed. All the same, smoking dope probably doesn’t help a kid with math homework.

That’s why the Oregon Liquor Control Commission implemented a large body of regulations aimed at, above all, keeping marijuana away from kids.

“No Minors” signs are ubiquitous at every regulated marijuana business in Oregon. Retail dispensaries must ID everyone, and OLCC conducts sting operations regularly. “Childproof ” packaging can only be deemed such after very expensive studies. Businesses cannot advertise in a way that’s attractive to minors. Finally, all marijuana businesses in the state must locate at least 1,000 feet away from public or private schools.

Local rules, however, can be even more stringent, with various counties throughout Oregon requiring that marijuana businesses be established at least 1,000 feet away from schools, churches, licensed day care centers, and—in the case of Deschutes County—“youth activity centers.”

It’s the YAC loophole that has been weaponized by two-thirds of the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners to serve as a de facto ban on marijuana businesses, ever since Patti Adair was sworn in as commissioner last January. A YAC is not defined in the Deschutes County Code, and as recently as December 2018, when Tammy Baney was still a county commissioner, the Board adopted a relatively narrow view of the definition of a YAC. An adjacent property with 4H activities, for example, did not qualify.

In multiple cases in 2019, however, the shift over the definition of a YAC has been pronounced. Most recently, the Board denied an application for a marijuana producer next door to Sundance Meadows (Deschutes County has opted out of new marijuana businesses, but must continue to process and evaluate applications submitted before the effective opt-out date in mid-August).

Per Sundance Meadows’ website, it’s a for-profit business located 8 miles east of Bend that offers “deed” sales of its land for recreation. A swimming pool, horseback riding area, makeshift mini-golf course, ATV trails and wildlife are among the features advertised.

We can say for sure what Sundance Meadows is not: A licensed daycare, parochial school, private school or public school with compulsory attendance under Oregon law.

It’s not a YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, or even a summer camp for kids. In other words, in the eyes of the OLCC (and every other county in the state) it may as well be a vacant lot when it comes to relevance for separation distances from marijuana farms.

Yet according to County Commissioners Phil Henderson and Adair, it’s a Youth Activity Center. Henderson noted that “a swimming pool is the clearest definition of an activity center for youth as anything.” (Read: If you’re a landowner who wants to thwart potential marijuana-farm neighbors, just throw an aboveground pool on your lawn.)

Adair weighed in with the following: “They’ve got their little golf thing. Their fishing pond. We know that, um, it has children outside all summer long having a good time.”

Henderson seemed to allude to the idea that a YAC could be a roving boundary-pusher, to bolster his argument that if only some portion of a property is geared toward children having fun, then the entire property is a YAC: “I think there’s lots of youth activities going on within 1,000 feet of this grow. They probably come in and out of the boundary.”

In other words, Henderson is concerned about the safety of children swimming within 1,000 feet of marijuana plants being grown inside a locked structure that’s under constant surveillance.

County commissioners, to their credit, are cognizant of a likely appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals following this, and other decisions like it. Yet there is a dearth of guidance from LUBA regarding whether the definition of something like a “Youth Activity Center” would be subject to a remand back to the county. The nature of “day care centers” is that they typically aren’t located miles from civilization on land meant for farming. But if you’re looking for a “youth activity center”?

Well, just ask Henderson or Adair; those are everywhere.
