s the 2018 election season begins to elevate to fever pitch, voters are being challenged, perhaps more than in other years, to truly think for themselves as they cast their votes. We’d like to say that voters should always be compelled to go beyond party-line voting and to choose candidates based on merit and position—but in the face of a number of cases in point, voters will clearly need to have critical thinking skills on lock this year. Take the case of Mark Roberts, the Independent Party of Oregon candidate for the 2nd Congressional District—the position currently held by Rep. Greg Walden. The Independent Party has endorsed Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner in that race, according to a statement on McLeod-Skinner’s website. According to media reports, the decision not to endorse their own party’s candidate came after comments Roberts allegedly made about the First Lady on Twitter. (Yet another bellwether of today’s political climate: Twitter as the podium for incendiary commentary of all ilk, in 280 characters.) And then there’s the marked lack of endorsement for Patti Adair, running on the Republican ticket for position 3 in the Deschutes County Commission, after securing a stunning upset against moderate and well-respected Republican Tammi Baney in the May primary. Republican leaders including House Minority Leader Mike McLane and Oregon Sen. Tim Knopp have endorsed fellow Republican and incumbent position 1 Commission candidate Tony DeBone, according to DeBone’s website, but have not endorsed Adair. During a recent debate, her opponent, Democrat James Cook, accused her of being divisive and inviting controversial speakers to Bend. And then there’s Democrat and House 54 candidate Nathan Boddie. Since allegations of misconduct emerged this summer, Democrats including Gov. Kate Brown and Sen. Jeff Merkley moved to support Working

Families Party candidate Amanda La Bell. In another twist, however, Brown and Merkley withdrew their support for La Bell on Tuesday, according to Willamette Week, after the candidate admitted she hadn’t actually earned a bachelor’s degree, as was stated in the Oregon Voter’s Pamphlet. To say it’s a season in which simply ticking a “D” or “R” box will suffice may be an understatement. Some of the reasons behind these non-party-line endorsements and withdrawals stem from alleged bad behavior or inappropriate statements. Others come, or so it seems, from an aversion to the divisiveness that we see stemming from even the highest office in the land. When the president is able to go straight to voters and to stir up hot debates with a simple tweet, what need is there to rely on your own party to help you get your message out there? Still, being able to reach voters so directly also puts a burden on voters to think critically. While the “fake news” battle cry can be concerning—especially when thrown at news outlets that actually staff trained journalists versed in the process of sorting fact from fiction—it can also stand as a reminder that voters need to possess the capacity to think critically, to listen carefully, to evaluate sources—and to use multiple sources in decision making. Even with the endorsements we have printed in this paper—and will print for the current election in the coming weeks—we hope it’s just one of many tools local voters will use to get to know candidates. Other tools in the voter toolbox include debates and forums, and each candidate’s own websites, as well as other media sources. Voters should always feel compelled to vote beyond the party line. It’s our hope that as we begin to delve more deeply into the election season, you use this as just one resource that helps you make informed decisions about who gets your vote.

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN WHOSE INTEREST?

DOES ANYBODY CARE? Smoke fills the air we breathe because our forests are burning at an unprecedented rate. Floods ravage parts of the world while other areas burn to ashes. Our oceans swell with plastic garbage we blatantly toss away. Straws are choking sea life throughout the world. Wildlife around the globe is losing habitat the size of football fields on a daily basis. The list of environmental destruction goes on and on. Does anyone care?

LETTER OF THE WEEK:

This beautiful "magic hour" shot is from @bendphototours. Join them for their Fall Sunset/Night Photography Workshop on Oct. 6! Tag @sourceweekly to be featured in Lightmeter.

We mow down forests to build more homes for all the burgeoning people populating our neighborhoods and our planet, but to what effect? Our own city of Bend was once an oasis of clean rivers, tranquil streams and placid lakes. Our surrounding forests and mountains were an oasis for deer, elk, coyotes and numerous other creatures. Places that were once pristine woodlands, meadows and open space are choking with thousands of new homes, new strip malls, more roads and thus even more people, and more traffic. Maimed wildlife lay lifeless by the side of the road as drivers speed through areas these animals once called home. Cougars are shot because people bring their livestock into the natural habitat where these animals live. Our surrounding natural environment has become a playground to be trampled and developed until the beauty of what brought everyone here in the first place no longer exists. Does anyone care? It seems we are all the frogs within the slowly simmering pot of water about to be brought to a roiling boil, yet everyone continues to go on with their lives as if none of this matters. Young couples walk the streets with newborns in carriages, and perhaps another child or two alongside them. They frequent the giant box stores loading carts with cases of plastic water bottles, gobs of sugar filled pre-packaged “food” and proceed to load it all in their oversized, gas guzzling SUVs they let idle in the parking lot as

they check their phone before driving away. Do they not care what the state of the planet will be when their children grow up – or do they just assume it will be taken care of by someone else? We all have a responsibility to be good stewards of this planet. As the saying goes, “There is no Planet B.” As I write this, the coal industry is celebrating Republican rollbacks of environmental regulations that were put in place to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink. In addition, the Trump administration is rolling back clean car emission standards that had proven to be successful environmentally as well as economically. Cancer causing pesticides have been found in our food supplies, yet Republican representatives continue to support Monsanto and other chemical companies over the health of their constituents. This is not a sustainable way of life. We must ALL do better to ensure the prosperity of our planet and ultimately human survival. We cannot have a healthy economy without a healthy environment. It’s been reported a “Green Wave” is coming. Well it can’t come soon enough in my opinion. How are you voting this November? Are you voting? Have you researched where your candidate really stands on issues regarding the health of our environment? The condition of our planet is staring us right in the face. Do you care? If so, VOTE!! —Tracy Boyer

Tracy – Vote if you’re eligible to do so, for sure—though we’re not going to stem this tide without personal actions, too. According to a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2014, the most significant sources of pollution were: Industry at 21 percent (can be curbed through legislation/regulations, and thus, voting), Electricity and Heat Production at 25 percent (mitigated through mandates for green power [influenced by voting] and also personal consumption choices), and Transportation at 14 percent. The last one is definitely addressed through both government and personal choice. As we speak, the City of Bend is working on a transportation plan that aims to reduce Bendites’ vehicle miles traveled. Voters would do well to express their support—and also to dust off that commuter bike or walking shoes and walk the talk. Meantime, come on in for your gift card to Palate! —Nicole Vulcan, Editor

VOLUME 22 ISSUE 38 / September 20, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

It looks like the handwriting is on the wall. With the potential demise of Joe’s Garage at the Westside Shell station, Bend appears well on its way to becoming a little Los Angeles--where all pretense of any community resistance to purely self-interested corporate strategies of commercial development died decades ago. Joe Palmeri, a small Bend businessman with 33 years of serving as many as three generations of Bend citizens, appears about to be thrown into the ash heap of history. The high-quality auto repair which took place in his garage offered a valuable type of personalized service on the Westside of town. But his leased property arrangement was put in jeopardy when the new owner of his garage land (Andretti Petroleum Group and Colvin Oil) opted for a different commercial development space which eliminated the garage and proposed only gasoline pumps, a convenience store, and a car wash. This new commercial development proposal fits nicely with the broader corporate goals of Andretti Petroleum Group: to quickly expand the number of gas stations and convenience stores it presently owns in California (44) by acquiring, through a merger with Colvin Oil (2017), an additional 51 gas stations and convenience stores in Oregon and Washington. However, the Bend City Council must give final approval to the commercial permit issued for this project and just possibly an outraged Bend citizenry that still believes in a concept of economic growth that protects its own valuable small businesses, like Joe’s Garage, can put a stop to commercial development that ignores such community values. —Jim Kulk

Amanda La Bell Loses Support

After an alleged false claim in the voters’ pamphlet, Brown and Merkley pull support By Chris Miller

manda La Bell, who just last month threw her hat in the ring for Oregon House District 54 on the Working Families Party ticket, reportedly made a false statement in the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet—potentially a class C felony. Willamette Week reported Tuesday that La Bell’s voter’s pamphlet statement, under “educational background” stated, “BA, Valdosta State [Ga.] University.” When Willamette Week contacted Valdosta State, the registrar’s office said she’d attended one semester and didn’t graduate, the paper reported. Oregonlive reported that La Bell’s LinkedIn profile and her profile on Clifton Cannabis Law, where she works as the business development and marketing director, both listed a bachelor’s in her educational background. Clifton Cannabis Law’s website no longer displayed that information Tuesday, and a search for La Bell’s name on LinkedIn elicited no results—though as of Tuesday, La Bell’s profile on the database marketing website Zoominfo still listed La Bell as having a bachelor’s degree in music. That site crawls data from other sites to populate its database. A press release sent to the Source from Clifton Cannabis Law in May lists La Bell as earning a “BA in Music, Vocal Performance and a minor in Theatre Production” in 1999. "It saddens me to hear the recent developments, but I am sure Amanda will learn from her mistakes and this will actually be a growth opportunity for her," stated Jennifer Clifton, owner of Clifton Cannabis Law, on Tuesday. "We've all had them some time in our lives; the key is how we move forward." Willamette Week also reported La Bell faced past legal issues, including felony theft charges in Florida, and in 2011 in Tennessee, records showed she and her husband were sued by a health club over an unpaid $8,000 debt. La Bell released a statement Tuesday, stating, “In 2006, while living in Tennessee, I was arrested for defending my three-year-old from domestic abuse. My ex-husband and the father of my first child was physically, emotionally, and financially abusive to my daughter and I. During one altercation, I defended myself and my daughter from a physical attack by him. The police were called, and due to state law about domestic violence situations, I was required to spend twelve hours in jail. “In 2009, while living in Florida, an ex-boyfriend stole a check from me and used it to buy a vehicle,” La Bell continued. “Because it was my name on the check, I spent several months awaiting a court hearing which resulted in the immediate dismissal of the case after the car dealership who brought the complaint told them I was not involved.”

The Oregon Secretary of State’s elections guide says that making a false statement in a voter’s guide “is a violation of Oregon Election Law and the candidate may be convicted of a Class C Felony.” House Republicans filed a complaint against La Bell Tuesday. Preston Mann, executive director of Oregon Leadership PAC sent Steve Trout of the Oregon Elections Division a written letter asking for an investigation into La Bell’s false claim in the Voter’s Guide. La Bell’s Tuesday statement also addressed the question of her degree. “Like many, I always hoped to earn a college degree,” La Bell said. “While in high school, I took AP and dual credit classes to begin earning credit towards a Bachelor’s of Arts degree. I then received a music scholarship that helped me be able to attend Gulf Coast Community College for one year. I attended one more year at Gulf Coast and then transferred to Valdosta State University. I later enrolled in the University of Phoenix for a short time. Throughout my studies, I struggled to balance work, school, financial pressures, and caring for my family. Ultimately I couldn’t strike that balance, and for years, I felt a deep sense of guilt and shame at not being able to achieve the milestone of a college degree. “It is this sense of shame that led me, many years ago, to write on my LinkedIn profile that I had received a Bachelors of Arts from Valdosta State University,” La Bell continued. “This was then picked up and repeated on my online work profile. This was again repeated in my Voter’s Pamphlet Statement. Neither my campaign nor I knowingly made false claims in the Voter’s Pamphlet Statement. I realize that claiming to have earned a Bachelor’s degree is unacceptable and wrong, and I express my profound apologies to all affected by this.” Meanwhile, Gov. Kate Brown told Willamette Week that Tuesday’s news cost La Bell her backing. "It's important to me that Oregonians know who they're voting for and that candidates are honest about their history," Brown said. Ray Zaccaro, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) also told Willamette Week that Tuesday’s news ended Merkley's interest in helping La Bell. Sydney Scout of the Working Families Party said in an interview with the Source earlier this month that the party did the same vetting process with La Bell that they do with all candidates. Scout said they did a very thorough online search to make sure nothing was hiding. “We asked are there any skeletons in your closet and there were none. And we feel very confident in Amanda,” Scout said.

County Commissioner Debate Some notable quotes from the recent Chamber event By Nicole Vulcan of urban density rather than create a situation where we might see some sprawl.” James Cook: “As far as the non-resource lands, I think we do need some flexibility, but I don’t think that it’s going to be wise to go and ask for that flexibility unless we’ve worked together with all the stakeholders, which will include our farmers, our environmentalists, our builders… we need to put them all at the table and come up with a proposal we can take to Salem and get some help.” Patti Adair: “I think that the City and the county commissioners have been addressing this issue quite seriously and I think that should definitely continue. And as far as changing our EFUs (exclusive farm use), which is extensive farm into multiple agricultural uses—MUAs,

level or we’re going to be spending a lot of time at the Land Use Board of Appeals or in the courts. And I’d rather not spend my first two or three or four years as a commissioner trying to walk back some of the overreach that might happen.” Patti Adair: “In Deschutes County some residents have been surrounded by marijuana grows on all three sides—that means that their property no longer has a value. I do realize that we have to work together with the growers but the regulations that the county planning staff put up the other day, I feel are something that should be seriously considered.” Tony DeBone: “So the facts are, the state said it’s a crop to be grown on farmland. We asked for a reasonable time, place and manner opportunity; we put those in place, and I absolutely committed to one year later, let’s look at that. Right now we have kind of a smorgasbord of ideas in the rule changes and it’s already been mentioned—I don’t support everything that’s in there, and we’re going to have a negotiation in the end here that we have to work that out.” Amy Lowes: “In fact, yesterday the Farm Bureau released a statement and they said that the commissioners exceeded the scope of reasonable regulation and set a dangerous precedent for all agriculture. They said it’s painfully unreasonable to require odor and noise abatement plans and extensive engineering to protect neighbors from a farm crop in a farm zone. So I think we need to be realistic about it, I think we need to look at the science behind it and we need to support this and distribute this. It contributes to our diverse economy.” Next What’s Brewing Debate: District 53 & 54 candidates

n Sept. 11, the Bend Chamber of Commerce hosted the latest of its “What’s Brewing” debates, inviting candidates for open Deschutes County Commission seats to weigh in. Candidates participating included Republican incumbent Tony DeBone and Democrat Amy Lowes, running for position 1, and Republican Patti Adair and Democrat James Cook, running for position 3. Below are quotes—truncated for space—on some of the issues candidates discussed. On working with the City of Bend to effect change in the state legislature, allowing unproductive farm land to be developed: Amy Lowes: “Personally, I’d like to see us in the city of Bend identify centers

excuse me—that is maybe a really good possibility to look at the land around the city and work with the legislature. We have to work with them.” Tony DeBone: “What happened in the late ‘70s and the early ‘80s when people were really implementing statewide land use, there became a catch-all set of properties, because it was a really decisive, contentious situation at one point, and the catch-all ended up being EFU. It wasn’t intended to be bad or wrong, but it is time to have that discussion and support Bend in a 50-year vision on that, where they can go in urban expansion.” On the possibility of adjustments to marijuana regulations in the county: James Cook: “We’re already the strictest regulations in the state of Oregon. I think we’re sitting on the borderline of actually getting pushback if we try to expand those regulations. Quite frankly I don’t think the board is going to accept all those expansions; they’ve basically thrown out basically everything that’s under consideration. But I think if we did go with all of them, we’d either lose our right to regulate at the state

What happens if the well

runs dry? by Chris Miller

ou’ve probably seen them: people wandering up Bond Street, nearly running into other people, smartphone in one hand, scoop of Bonta in the other, trying to find the Deschutes pub. They’re called tourists—and like it or not, they’re an important part of Bend’s economy.  Tourism is Central Oregon’s second-largest economic provider, accounting for 15 percent of the economy, according to data provided by Economic Development for Central Oregon. According to data from Bend’s finance department, Transient Room Taxes—the taxes collected from hotel rooms or short-term rentals—accounted for over $9 million in revenue for the City of Bend in the last fiscal year, which ended in June.  The 2018-2019 proposed budget is for $49,726,547—the largest sum collected through property taxes. TRT income of $9 million represents about 18 percent of the City’s budget.   TRT funds are also the economic foundation of tourism promotion in Oregon. In 2003, the Oregon Legislature passed HB 2267, mandating 70 percent of new or increased local lodging taxes be directed to tourism promotion or tourism-related facilities. At the time, the city made the commitment to fund tourism promotion with 30 percent of the initial 9 percent tax rate in Bend. Then in 2013, voters approved measure 9-94, which increased the room tax rate to 10.4 percent.   Last year, the City implemented ordinance NS-2291 that essentially diverted more of the TRT revenue to the general fund. The ordinance pushed the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association to file a lawsuit in September of 2017. In the suit, the Association claims the ordinance violates state law because the new code amendment provides 31.2 percent of total room tax revenues for tourism promotion and the remaining 68.8 percent of the revenue can be used for non-tourism promotion. According to the suit, that violated state law in part because of the city’s 10.4 percent room tax, 30 percent of the 9 percent room tax rate is required by state law to be spent on tourism promotion and tourism-related facilities. The remaining 1.4 percent is subject to a state-law requiring 70 percent investment in tourism

promotion and tourism-related facilities. The city challenged the suit, which is now in the hands of the appellate court.   TRT revenue not only funds tourism promotion, but also public safety and the City’s general fund, footing the bill for things including road improvement projects, fire and emergency medical services, municipal court, infrastructure and the city’s community and economic development divisions.   Since fiscal year 2009-2010, the

fishing spot on the Deschutes, it may not have felt like there were fewer tourists than last year—so why the downturn in collected money?   Part of it could be attributed to Visit Bend no longer spending money on tourism promotion for the summer months, instead prioritizing the so-called shoulder seasons—October to November, and April through May— according to Dugan. When Visit Bend does spend money on tourism promotion, it does so on TV, radio and social Source: City of Bend

August numbers aren’t in yet, but according to Kevney Dugan, CEO and president of Visit Bend—the agency tasked by the city for tourism promotion— August’s figures are also likely to be less than a year ago.   Why the downturn?  This year, during Bend’s typically busy summer season, hotel occupancy rates were down, according to a report by STR, a global analytics firm. In July, the occupancy rates were 83.4 percent, a drop of 5.4 percent from last July. In 2015-2016, July’s occupancy rate was over 90 percent.   For locals who were driving around Bend this summer or trying to get a

media to support events like the Bend Film Festival that drives out of town tourism. Dugan said they also do a lot of public relations work with media to help tell Bend’s story.  Carolyn Eagan, economic development director for the City of Bend, said, “We are maturing as a tourist destination. This is indicated by the ‘leveling off,’ in other words, smaller increases or small decreases in year over year revenue, indicate a more mature tourism market.”  Eagan said there’s not enough data to indicate a downturn. “I would want to see three Julys along with three Octobers and three Februarys in a row with year over year decreases to conclude there’s a downturn. I would not include August 2017 in any analysis of trend, as that month was a lifetime anomaly due to the eclipse.”

Dugan agrees that August 2017’s numbers were likely due to the eclipse, but lodging occupancy rates from Visit Bend show the rate wasn’t unusually high—86.2 percent, which was less than the 87.1 percent in 2014-2015. Instead, Dugan said it was the amount charged for rooms that created the spike in TRT. “I am comparing the success of this August versus August 2016 when we don’t have a major event like the eclipse skewing the numbers. I hope to have the August (2018) numbers soon and will share those so you can see the changes with the Transient Room Tax largely being up in August 2017 due to a much higher room rate being charged around the time of the eclipse.”   Slowing Tourism Promotion?  Many of the candidates for Bend’s elected mayor and City Council seats have called for a  reduction  in the amount allocated for tourism promotion.   Bill Moseley, a current Bend city councilor and mayoral candidate, said on his website, “Most new residents visit Bend as a tourist and then decide to move here. Currently, about nine new people move to Bend each day. The $2.9 million the city spends each year on tourism advertising just adds gasoline to the fire.” He went on to say that he was the only councilor that voted against giving Visit Bend’s plan to allocate $3 million for tourism promotion funding.   Joshua Langlais, a local photographer who’s also running for mayor, said it’s very important to remember that tourism is largely, if not solely, responsible for Bend’s recovery after the closing of the mills. But, he said it’s safe to say the word’s out about Bend, and he didn’t think it makes sense to continue to promote at the same pace. “Actually, I would say it is unwise to do so and a poor use of resources as modern technology and social media have made it quite easy for anyone who wishes to promote the town,” Langlais said.   Gena Goodman-Campbell, who’s running for Bend City Council said, our leaders need to do more to address the negative impacts of tourism, such as traffic, crime, overcrowding on public lands and degrading our natural resources. “I’d like to see some of the

money that’s currently being spent on promotion put towards creative projects that will mitigate the impacts of tourism,” Goodman-Campbell said. She said she recognizes that the city is currently putting the maximum percentage of TRT revenue allowed by the state into the general fund, but would like to see the other funds used differently.  “By law, the remaining revenue must be spent on tourism promotion or tourism-related facilities. We need to think creatively about how we can use tourism dollars on ‘tourism-related facilities’ that would mitigate some of the impacts of tourism while also benefiting locals.”   Brian Douglass, another mayoral candidate, said he believes that we can afford to begin to ratchet down the amount of money being spent on advertising and promotion, especially for the summer season. “The reduction of spending then should be funneled back into the City’s General Fund,” Douglass said. “Enough is enough!”  Charles Baer, who’s also put his hat in the ring for mayor, was more succinct about where he stands on tourism promotion.  “I am for less spending on tourism as a potential mayor,” Baer said in an email. “The tourist dollars will be there no matter what we do, hence, we should do less on tourism spending.”   Colorado’s tourism spending: A case for promotion  Evidence from other states suggests that spending less on tourism promotion may backfire.  In 1993, according to a report by Longwoods International, the state of Colorado became the only state to eliminate its tourism funding when it cut its $12 million promotion budget to zero. The fallout was like a nuclear winter: Colorado’s percentage of tourism dollars spent country-wide plunged 30 percent within two years. The state saw a loss of over $1.4 billion in tourism revenue annually. Over time, the loss of revenue increased to well over $2 billion yearly—and, in the important summer season, Colorado’s visitation rates dropped from first place among states to 17th.   It took state government leaders seven years to realize the mistake. In 2000, the tourism industry convinced the state legislature to reinstate funding—and the Colorado Tourism Office received a modest $5 million budget. According to the Longwoods report, research tracked the effectiveness of the tourism campaign over the following few years and found it demonstrated a return on investment of over $12 to $1.   Then in 2006, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens signed a bill upping the tourism promotion budget to $19 million, according to the Longwoods report.

The following year, Colorado rebounded to an all-time high with 28 million visitors spending $9.8 billion on trips throughout the state.   The rebound, however, was not without side effects. An October 2017 story from 5280: Denver’s Mile High Magazine, asked the question: “Are we loving Colorado’s wild places to death?” It noted that with the increase of visitors came an increase in trash, feces on trails—dog and human—and damage from illegal fire rings and campsites, among other issues that added pressure puts on the outdoors. That all might sound rather familiar.   Around Central Oregon, the U.S. Forest Service is currently considering going to a permit system to address the issues of overuse in the Deschutes and other national forests. In 2016, Bend resident and writer Katy Bryce penned a blog that went viral locally—titled, “Bend Is Being Loved to Death — And It’s My Fault.” Bryce wrote about seeing piles of plastic floating down the Deschutes River, and included photos of garbage lining the area near the Whitewater Park.   Leaders at Visit Bend say they’re actively trying to get visitors to act responsibly. On its webpage, there’s the Bend Pledge, which has a list of things people can do to ensure Bend stays special for years to come. They also have the Visit Like a Local campaign which reminds tourists Bend residents live by the “Leave No Trace” code.   What replaces tourism?  Although many of the candidates looking to fill City Hall are for pumping the brakes on tourism promotion spending, few are for an outright moratorium on it.   “Tourism is huge for Bend,” said Michael Hughes, a local attorney and hemp farmer who’s running for mayor. “It’s not just world-class skiing, hiking

Neo-grunge rockers Slothrust release an album, working with producer Billy Bush By Anne Pick Submitted

hen I first heard female-fronted neo-grunge rockers Slothrust, I added singer Leah Wellbaum to my list of rock and roll spirit animals. I love female lead singers. I’ve drawn inspiration from greats including Shirley Manson, Allison Mosshart and Karen O—and now Wellbaum. Slothrust formed in Boston in 2012 and just released its fourth studio album, “The Pact,” Sept. 14. On the new album, Wellbaum challengers herself as a writer, digging into the craft of songwriting on a different level. Listening to the album’s first single, Wellbaum experiments with playfulness and word association. The song starts, “Silly sandbox, stupid scarecrow; Jack-o-lantern, chupacabra; sick menorah, candelabra.” Sonically, the band also ups its game by choosing to work with producer Billy Bush, who’s worked with a wide array of artists—the band Garbage standing out most. “Working with Billy was awesome, it was kind of a dream come true,” Kyle Bann, Slothrust’s bassist, says. “I really liked his work with Against Me!, which is what drew me to him when we were looking for producers. I looked into him a little bit more and saw he’d been working with Garbage forever and a bunch of artists I really liked." Band members say Bush’s knowledge of music technology, down to the coding level, drew the band to his work, helping them sort through ideas, as well as interject some of his own. Bann talks fondly of Bush’s sick guitar collection, which

“You make the record and then you take care of all of the other aspects of releasing an album for months and months. There’s this release of pressure in a way where it’s finally released and all that hard work has finally resulted in the thing that we wanted.” —KYLE BANN, SLOTHRUST

included a 12-string Nashville-style guitar altered to produce a really highpitched, almost mandolin-style sound that they ended up using throughout the album. "It’s a pretty collaborative process,” Bann says of making new material. “Usually it stars by Leah writing the songs at home and making demos, either phone demos or videos, and she will send them around and we'll start listening to them before bringing them to band practice." Bann and I talked about how some bands will have the drummer, for example, come in, record his part and then leave. Not so with these band mates,

OPEN ALL YEAR DAILY SANDWICH SPECIALS SOUP, SELF SERVE DELI, TOP SHELF ORGANIC PRODUCE

who incorporate a collaborative element throughout, with Bann and drummer Will Gorin participating throughout the entire recording process. “There’s so much anticipation leading up to it,” Bann says of releasing a new album. “You make the record and then you take care of all of the other aspects of releasing an album for months and months. There’s this release of pressure in a way where it’s finally released, and all that hard work has finally resulted in the thing that we wanted. There’s a pretty good sense of accomplishment.” With the release of “The Pact,” Slothrust hits the road this fall — playing

at Portland’s Mississippi Studios before heading to Bend to perform at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. Slothrust does a good job keeping the live performance fun for both the audience, as well as themselves. "My favorite thing about playing live is seeing happy people in the audience, honestly,” Bann says. "You’re playing, you’re playing and you get a moment to look out into the crowd and you see a bunch of people having a good time — that’s everything.” Slothrust

hen The Soft White Sixties entered the studio to record a new album, “Alta California,” its members wanted to be able to capture the spirit of their live performance, after producer Elijah Thompson pointed out how sterile the recording atomsphere can be when compared to the energy and grit of a live show. “Some bands will write in an environment, perform in an environment and then go to record, and it’s a sterile environment,” lead singer Octavio Genera says. "The pressure that bands can put on themselves in the studio is hard because everyone is under a microscope." Thompson helped Genera and his band mates alleviate some of that pressure by creating a recording environment that didn’t feel so sterile. They’d take breaks or go get a drink, which helped to relieve some of the self-imposed pressure they put on themselves. All that resulted in an incredible album that carries on the soulful, rockpop sound for which The Soft White Sixties have become known. The album itself takes on transitional personal themes, while also dipping into heavier topics such as immigration and challenging the American Dream. "Eli and I would sit down and talk for an hour or two, conversing back and forth, getting to know each other,” Genera recalls. "The topic came up of my mom immigrating here when she was 11 or 12 and my dad being born in Texas and then going on to Stockton where I was born. The weird thing was, the day we were working on the song, 'Brick by Brick,' was the day my grandparents came to the U.S. This is the actual day. It wasn’t anything in being heavy handed and wanting to address this, it was just

in the air. It was all over the place—this idea of building a wall—and it’s pretty frustrating when someone throws a blanket statement over very different situations for every person. It was frustrating to hear." The Soft White Sixties sing about how if a wall is built, that they’ll tear it down brick by brick. While recording, the band generally did music first, adding lyrics after. Genera imagines if he’d written the song on an acoustic guitar before the music came in, it may be a very different song. “Alta California” means “New California,” which with songs like “Brick by Brick” can take on different meanings. For this California-based band, it speaks to the band rediscovering themselves after relocating from San Francisco to Los Angeles. "We moved from the north to the south; it’s a different culture, Genera says. "It was a kind of a new take on a home we’ve already had. It kind of shook us up emotionally and when the dust settled, this is the album that we made. I could feel the shiftiness and trying to find out how to fit in the world around us. 'Alta California' lent itself to these new feelings for us." “Alta California” features a song called “I Still Miss You, San Francisco,” which is about watching things change you really loved about a city, but also still loving it. It comes as no surprise that Genera says it goes over well when they return to San Francisco to perform. The Soft White Sixties Tues., Sept. 25. 9pm Volcanic Theatre Pub 70 SW Century Dr., Bend $12

Sixth-Generation Shaman

A Q&A with don Jose Ruiz, co-author of “The Fifth Agreement” and son of “The Four Agreements” author, don Miguel Ruiz By Nicole Vulcan

on Jose Ruiz comes from a long line of healers and spiritual guides, not the least of whom is his father, don Miguel Ruiz, author of “The Four Agreements”—a book containing simple teachings that’s been translated into more than 40 languages since it was first published in 1997. The Toltec tradition goes back at least six generations in don Jose’s family—so it should come as no surprise that he’s followed in those footsteps. At the same time, he’s forging his own spiritual path and teachings as the author of “The Wisdom of the Shamans” and co-author of “The Fifth Agreement,” along with his father. The Source sat down with don Jose at his sold-out talk in Bend last week.

Source Weekly: Let’s start by sharing some of your background with our readers. Don Jose Ruiz: The beautiful thing about this tradition is that we believe that we are living—it’s a dream, and life is a dream and so the thing we call life, we call it a dream. So we know that we are dreaming. And many people in the tradition were sleeping. So the Toltec path was to wake everybody up so that they can value and be grateful to be alive. My father did a lot of cleanup about the superstition of the past of the old Toltecs—because that’s why it didn’t get accepted—so when he began doing psychology, because he’s a medical doctor, he mixed the traditions with common

sense. And there he said, ‘Oh, at this point it’s easier to wake up.’ So he used these Four Agreements—be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions and always do your best. ...Now, here’s the funny part, because in the Toltec there’s nothing to learn. Only to unlearn, because Toltec means artist of the spirit. So we’re here to share what gives inspiration, but basically we are unlearning what takes our inspiration away. SW: It’s interesting that you said that thing about making guidelines or rules. Was there anyone in the Toltec community who said, hey, you’re doing something that hasn’t been done before? DJR: Oh, yes, absolutely, because that’s how the dreamers remain asleep. That’s how corruption remains in religions. That’s how all of this negativity goes forward, because no one wants to fix themselves. SW: I’d love to hear something about the Fifth Agreement. DJR: The Fifth Agreement is to be skeptical but to learn to listen. Not to

ARTWATCH The Art of Burning Man The good news: you don’t have to travel to the playa at Burning Man to finally see what everyone goes on and on about. See some of it for yourself when The High Desert Museum hosts past Burning Man Art curator Christine “LadyBee” Kristen, who will show a “visual history” of over 125 pieces of work from the festival. Kristen began as curator at Burning Man after curating an exhibition of Burning Man art in San Francisco, an event that proved to Kristen and Burning Man founder, Larry Harvey, that

say I’m not meant for love, I’m thinking that, I said, you know what, Jose? It’s not true. And I’m being skeptical of my own negativity and this is like my grandmother said, we break the curse of the scorpion that stings itself with its own stinger. SW: And now you have another book out.

Let’s say that if I’m having a bad day, I say, oh, I’m not meant for love, I’m not meant for love—I tell myself that and I believe it.

Because they were not ready, because they will be clouded, because they won’t be open and they won’t like to hear. But if the shaman speaks storytelling, the person with reasoning says, it’s not directly to me, he can relate to a character and this is what happens. And this is exactly what happened with The Four Agreements—my father shared it, like he was talking to me, but no, it was integrity talking to integrity… so these are stories with integrity. don Jose Ruiz

the festival had grown to a place where a full-time permanent curator would help the festival grow. Kristen went on to spend 10 years working with artists, reading proposals, helping with logistics and connecting artists. The process proved fruitful, and ever since, the art at Burning Man has grown in epic ways. In the beginning, there were few proposals, Kristen says. As Burning

Man grew, so did people’s ambitions. Now, Burning Man is often a forefront of art with technological advancements. Kirsten says artists often wait to bring ideas to premiere at Burning Man, where the freedom to create and the support of creators helps to solidify these experiments. Artists now come from all over the world, often shipping their large scale-pieces on ocean liners to get them to the remote desert celebration. While packing and shipping art for a 10-day exhibition seems like a lot of work, Kristen reports that many of the pieces are invited to travel after Burning Man, often going to other festivals and exhibitions. And while the art world may still say the art at Burning Man lacks value, she adds, “There is

world class art out there by anyone’s standards.” If you’ve ever wondered why people come back in awe of what they see at Burning Man, try to see the talk at the museum. You may not get the opportunity to see the pieces placed directly into the magnificent landscape of the Nevada desert—but you will see a huge collection of artists working outside the traditional art world and pushing boundaries in new and exciting ways.

LITTLE BITES

Poke Tailored to Your Taste Buds

By Lisa Sipe

5 Fusion opens a sister restaurant focused on the popular raw fish dish

Lisa Sipe

oke, a Hawaiian raw fish dish, has been gaining popularity in recent years and shows no sign of stopping. You can find it everywhere from the supermarket to trendy restaurants. Poke Row, the newest restaurant in Northwest Crossing, is completely poke-focused in a fast, casual setting. Co-owner Justin Chu said he decided to open Poke Row with his mother, Lilian Chu, “after visits to Hawaii and the recent boom of poke shops in major cities. I was inspired by the simplicity yet delicious combinations a customer can build. It is healthy and fast.” Poke Row’s concept is like Chipotle, but with raw fish. Diners order at the counter, choosing the size of the bowl; a small comes with two proteins, the large three. The “base” includes white rice, mixed greens or a mixture of both. Proteins include yellowfin tuna, albacore, salmon or spicy tuna. If you aren’t into raw fish, you can choose tofu or chicken.

Mecca Grade Farm to Table Dinner

Mecca Grade Estate Malt, which produces single-source malt for brewers, is hosting a farm to table dinner at the historical Luelling Homestead Barn in Madras. The dinner starts with a cocktail made from bourbon distilled with Mecca Grade Estate Malt, as well as hors d'oeuvres. Chef James Fink of Wild Oregon Foods will prepare a fivecourse dinner using ingredients from local family farms in Jefferson County and Central Oregon. Each course will be paired with a beer brewed with Mecca Grade Estate Malt. Highlights include bacon-wrapped meatloaf and grilled tri tip with a Spanish tortilla, romesco, sautéed chard and kale. Tickets are limited and for sale online.

—JUSTIN CHU Mix-ins include cucumber, mango, pineapple, jalapeno, edamame, sweet onion, carrot or sesame seed. Mix and match your sauces, including sesame soy, spicy mayo, spicy yuzu, sweet ginger soy or wasabi aioli. Additional toppings include avocado, green onion, tobiko (flying fish roe), ginger, wasabi, toasted seaweed, furikake (a lightly salted Japanese condiment), seaweed salad, crispy noodles and fried onion. If that process feels a little overwhelming, start with the NWX signature bowl. Chu says, “The NWX bowl was developed after our team, along with friends, sampled a variety of bowls, and felt this was one of the best combinations put together that a customer new to poke would enjoy.” That combo is albacore, salmon, mango, sesame soy, spicy yuzu, avocado, green onions, sesame seeds, crispy noodles and toasted seaweed. On my first visit I tried the NWX signature bowl with rice. It was delicious,

It’s all about what you like when you build your own bowl at Poke Row.

the fish was fresh, and the texture was on point with the crispy noodles. It had a nice balance of savory with a little sweet from the mango. I have to admit I’m a little intimidated by how many choices there are. On my second visit I asked Chef Tyler Shen to choose my bowl for me. He selected rice, salmon, yellowfin tuna, spicy tuna, cucumber, edamame, carrots, mango, sweet onions, sesame soy, spicy mayo, crispy fried onions, furikake, seaweed salad, ginger, tobiko and avocado. I sat in the dining room to enjoy my “Tyler bowl” while “That’s All” by Phil Collins played. The vibe is clean and modern, bordering on sterile. My Tyler bowl was really good, and it converted me into a huge tobiko fan. The fish roe added a crunchy texture because the tiny eggs pop in your mouth with a salty

liquid. The sweet, sharp ginger was also a great addition and acted as a nice palate cleanser. My second bowl taught me that there probably aren’t any bad combos. After getting the vibe that this concept could easily be a franchise, I asked Chu if they had plans for a second location. He said, “Yes, we are considering opening up a second location—but that will not come until we have perfected the operations of our flagship location.” Poke Row is great for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.

ompared to Bend’s booming beer scene, Portland’s dozens of craft sites and all the many wineries of the Willamette Valley, Oregon’s capital city has never been known as a hotspot for craft beverage fans. Despite being the second largest city in the state, Salem only really had two breweries of note for many years—Gilgamesh and Santiam, both of which distribute in Bend. While both are solid, they weren’t necessarily worth traveling two and a half hours from Central Oregon to check out. In the past year, however, things have

Really making Salem an interesting destination for beer fans, however, are the garage outfits. been rapidly changing. The local beer and cider scene has grown to the point that Salem has a passport-style ale trail in place, and four locations in the southeastern “Brewery District” of the city are all within a 15-minute walk of each other—mostly on roads without sidewalks, though, so be careful after dark. Santiam Brewing (2544 19th St. SE) is the largest shop on this tour, having

undergone a major renovation in 2016 to double its size. The taplist has always leaned toward English and German-style lagers and ales, with the 1859 Maibock one of the best-known flagships. Four cask-conditioned ales are on offer all the time. Not too far away is Salem Ale Works (2315 25th St. SE), another quickly growing outfit that offers a litany of IPAs (hazy and non), as well as the wonderfully-named Sun’s Out Gun Stout. Really making Salem an interesting destination for beer fans, however, are the garage outfits in between these two old standbys. Bine Valley Brewing (2027 25th St. SE) is in SAW’s old property, a hole-in-the-wall industrial site with a one-barrel system that happens to be putting out some of the best beer in the Willamette. (The Alterdorf is a killer altbier, and the Tropic Haze IPA tastes exactly like the name suggests.) The similarly-tiny Ratchet Brewery (2701 22nd St. SE) is also worth a visit, featuring a motorcycle aesthetic and the Deuce Coupe, a lovely IPA in the more standard tradition. It’s a wonderful way to spend a weekend—and anyone planning a visit this fall simply must plan a detour to Benedictine Brewery in nearby Mount Angel, one of only three monastic breweries in the United States.

hane Black is a genius—but you would never know it from watching his reboot of “The Predator.” This is the guy who wrote “Lethal Weapon,” “The Monster Squad” and “The Last Boy Scout” while still being fairly new to the movie business. Since 2005, he’s been on a creative hot streak as a director with “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” the genre-defying “Iron Man 3” and the criminally underseen “The Nice Guys,” without showing any signs of creative fatigue. One of the reasons I was so unreasonably excited for “The Predator” is because Black is the co-writer/director. He always creates iconic dialogue and memorable characters, but his real brilliance lies in taking well-worn genre tropes and deconstructing them to the point of re-invention. He jumpstarted the buddy cop genre with “Lethal Weapon” and “The Last Boy Scout,” and he took the “Iron Man” franchise and made a superhero film where the hero is suffering from PTSD and doesn’t even want to set foot in his armor. So when his name came up as the creative force behind the “Predator” reboot, I expected him to take the soldiers versus an extra-terrestrial murder machine franchise into some unexpected territory. But once again, Shane Black defies all expectations by making a straightforward genre movie that feels like what his version of “Predator 2” would have been if it came out in 1990. “The Predator” feels like a Cannon Films schlockbuster along the lines of Chuck Norris’ “Delta Force” or Dolph Lundgren’s “Masters of the Universe.” There’s no irony in Black’s script, only macho dudes

spouting one liners and putting cigarettes out on their tongues. The film itself is a thrill ride featuring callbacks to the earlier “Predator” films, while building a larger mythology for the series focused on climate change, friendly predators and noble sacrifices of the American soldier. Olivia Munn is a badass as the scientist sent in to study the predator, but she mostly runs, jumps and dives from explosions while firing automatic weapons. A few months ago, due to poor test screenings, the entire third act of the film was reshot. You can almost hear Black gritting his teeth through the final action sequences. Fox and Black battled

over the tone of the movie, retroactively de-fanging all the things that made it a Shane Black movie. In the theatrical version of the film we have Asperger’s being treated like a superpower, non-sensical character relationships popping up out of nowhere and the blatant setup of a sequel—so much so that the movie doesn’t have an ending. Right after a frenetic and impossible-to-follow action sequence, the movie just ends with a wink and a nod, barely able to suppress its desire to yell “COME BACK SUMMER OF 2020 TO SEE HOW IT ALL ENDS, IDIOTS!!” All of this is to say that while “The Predator” is extremely entertaining

and a blast to watch from beginning to end, it’s also kind of a piece of crap. I don’t think much of the blame falls on Shane Black, since it’s still very easy to spot the good movie hidden inside the reshoots—but hopefully the film does well enough that next time we can finally see Black’s real vision for the film, unhampered by studio suits pretending to be creative.

THE PREDATOR: It’s not like the original “Predator” was worthy of any writing awards, but the new reboot manages to display a proud ridiculousness that almost carries the movie past its flaws.

uburban neo-noir doesn’t sound like a legit film genre, but picture how scary some of those perfectly manicured shadows can be. Beautiful upper/middle class homes with spaceage kitchens, fully stocked pantries and floor-to-ceiling glass windows might not seem that mysterious or frightening, but when every corner hides another layer of lies, the suburban setting adds a deliciously sinister tone. Director Paul Feig (of “Bridesmaids” and “Freaks and Geeks” renown) takes a twisty script from “American Horror Story’s” Jessica Sharzer and creates one hell of an entertaining hybrid. The first act feels like a French New Wave comedy, with Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively as brand-new friends whose young children have become buddies—meaning play dates while the mommies drink gin and get to know each other. Kendrick is Stephanie, a widow who follows all the rules, volunteers constantly at her young son’s school and hosts a cooking blog on Youtube that has around 300 followers. Lively is Emily, the polar opposite of Kendrick: she drinks, she swears, has a glamorous job in New York City and a gorgeous, dedicated husband. One day Emily asks Stephanie to pick up her kid from school while she stays at the office late. Emily never returns. The lightness of the first act bleeds straight into “Gone Girl”-esque suburban noir as the police start questioning Stephanie and Emily’s husband about the disappearance. Just like most mysteries of this type, we have conflicting stories, brand new

Why does Anna Kendrick look terrifying here? Am I just afraid of kitchens?

insurance policies and strange signs that Emily might not even be missing. All of this works beautifully, keeping the audience on its toes sifting through red herrings galore. Then we get to the third act, which goes off the rails in ways that are extremely entertaining and enormously stupid at the same damn time. “A Simple Favor” starts out as a flawless lemon tart, balancing the acidic bite with

enough sugar to make it palatable. The film ends like a cobbler your schizophrenic uncle made filled with pickles, cardamom and quarters. There have to be a solid half-dozen twists in the final 15 minutes that leave the film feeling more like a dinner party murder mystery where the killer is revealed to be whoever got the most votes. The ending(s) cheapen everything that came before, draining all the

class out of “A Simple Favor,” leaving us with only the wonderful work of Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively to remember on the drive home. A Simple Favor

On Stewardship

GO HERE By David Sword

At the intersection of loving the outdoors and “loving it to death” is one big buzzword. We explore what it means

in nature. Stewardship means adopting attitudes, behaviors and lifestyle choices that contribute to a healthy and sustainable environment.” Kolleen Miller Education Director, Upper Deschutes Watershed Council

Kolleen Miller, education director, Upper Deschutes Watershed Council

n a Bend area Visitors Survey conducted for summer 2017 by Visit Bend, 69 percent of tourists reported visiting Bend for outdoor recreation, leisure, sightseeing and brewery tourism. Those surveyed were asked to comment on the question, “If you could change one thing about Bend, what would it be?” The most common responses involved dissatisfaction with increased traffic, unsustainable growth, poor signage, road infrastructure/conditions and a lack of diversity. Many working in the outdoor and tourism industries are torn between wanting to share Bend’s epic, recreationally suited panoramas with outof-towners, and in so doing, grow their businesses. Equally, there’s a desire to keep coveted river and trail stashes on the down-low. So where can the two meet? The answer: stewardship. As defined by Merriam-Webster, stewardship is: “The conducting, supervising, or managing of something.” In the context of natural resources, land management agencies are doing this every day—attempting to balance the needs of the public against conservation and preservation theory. It’s clearer than ever that one agency or entity alone cannot unclog this artery. To awaken your inner Wonder Woman, we’ve collected some inspiring words from our city’s Secret Superhero Society of Stewardship. “Stewardship is both a verb and a noun. Stewardship is found in action and in a way of thinking about the world. In order to be a good steward of our river and all of our incredible natural resources, one considers their daily impact on the environment when they make choices about how to spend time

“Being good stewards is at the heart of who Old Mill District is as a company. It’s why we created our Take Note Initiative that introduces reusable pints, compostable cups and the elimination of single-use plastic water bottles at the Les Schwab Amphitheater. It’s why we support campaigns like the Enjoy Protect Respect project that encourages responsible river use. And it’s why the Bend Brewfest gives money to nonprofits every year. We love this place. Where we live, where we work and where we play. Finding ways to give back is part of being a responsible and engaged community leader.” — Beau Eastes Digital Content Manager, Old Mill District

Swampy Sno-Park

Swampy to South Fork Shoulder season keeps visitor numbers low and local stoke high Sandy Visnack, executive director of Bend Endurance Academy

“Stewardship means to thoughtfully care for someone or something entrusted to you. At the Bend Endurance Academy, we thoughtfully care for the children and families we serve by providing quality climbing, cycling and Nordic programs, meaningful volunteer opportunities, and educational seminars for both youth and adults. Our coaches and staff set a positive example on how to treat one another and care of the fragile environment we share in Central Oregon.” — Sandy Visnack Executive Director, Bend Endurance Academy

Beau Eastes, digital content manager at Old Mill District

Dan McGarigle, owner of Pine Mountain Sports

“At Pine Mountain Sports we believe that the outdoor community has a greater responsibility to participate in and support the entire Central Oregon community. Not everyone who lives here is fortunate enough to enjoy our surroundings the way a lot of us do. Therefore, Pine Mountain Sports will continue to utilize our fans and combine our efforts to help combat hunger, clothing, access to health care and education and homelessness right here in our backyard. We, as outdoor enthusiasts, get so much while living here. It's also our job to give back.” Dan McGarigle Owner, Pine Mountain Sports To share your perspectives or your recent efforts on social media, tag @ SourceWeekly and include #stewardshipinbend.

Cooler temperatures bring about a favored shoulder season for local mountain bikers, as the bug-infested, moondust-laden singletrack of the busy summer makes way for the slow times and the coming storms of fall. It’s a coveted time when local trails seem more “ours,” and the often-loose soil of bikers’ volcanic tracks become compact, tacky and perfect. Collective patience during the busy time is soon to be rewarded handsomely. The trails connected to Swampy Lakes Sno-Park are both starting points, and pivot points, for many miles of Central Oregon singletrack. The Swampy Sno-Park to Swede Ridge Shelter loop makes for a great moderate outing, while a trip down South Fork should not be missed. Known for its fast and flowy downhill segments, picturesque creek zones and rugged switchbacks, South Fork makes for a great option when linking up longer routes (such as Dutchman Flat to Flagline), or for a fun and challenging one-way trip from Swampy Lakes to Skyliners Sno-Park. Grab a map, load up the Bend Trails app and give ‘er a go! Swampy/South Fork/Skyliners Sno-Park - 5.5 miles/290’ Elev. Swampy/Swede Ridge Shelter (one way) – 2.6 miles/198' Elev.

Fort Rock: a Place of Wonder and Music By Jim Anderson

Jim Anderson)

Hunter Noack doing his thing inside the Fort Rock Marr.

1/4 mile to the west of Fort Rock. The area was also the recent site of a special concert. On Sept. 8, a very distinctive, talented young man, Hunter Noack, and his family hauled their trailer, loaded with his magnificent ninefoot Steinway, up the dusty trail from the parking area of Fort Rock and placed it on the level, amid the sagebrush and sandy volcanic bed. The Noack family venture, In A Landscape, involves Hunter Noack playing classical music, mostly on public lands. These outdoor concerts—22 so far this year—are usually held in stunning landscapes that showcase Oregon industry, history, culture and wild beauty. To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, open air, music is transmitted to concert-goers via wireless headphones. No longer confined to seats, they can explore the landscape,

wander through sagebrush and rabbitbrush, lie in sunny meadows and roam old growth forests while enjoying Noack’s amazing talent. The timing for the Fort Rock concert couldn't have been better. Most of the nesting birds, including falcons and owls, were finished and the young who were still hanging around their nest sites were free to enjoy the music, or fly off to another location and rest their ears. As my wife, Sue and I settled into our camp chairs, soaking up the warmth from the setting afternoon sun and anticipating the music, we met two caver pals from Sisters. Kara and her sidekick, Brent McGregor, said, "Won't it be something to hear that beautiful music bounce off these old lava walls." It was, and I wondered what my old pal, Reub Long (who once owned part of the tuff ring), would have said.

You can bet he would have come with some great one-liners (for he was Oregon's Will Rogers), like the one I heard him pull when he came down from counting all his new horses at Butte Well. "By golly, I'm a rich man, I've got 42 head of horses!" A woman nearby came over and asked, "Mr. Long, how could you count all the horses coming through that dust, I could hardly see them?" He looked at her in surprise, and with a big grin said, "Why, it was easy ma'am, I just counted all the legs and divided by four!" And yes, there were at least four ranchers (wearing head phones) on horseback who joined the over 275 guests who came to hear Noack perform. After the concert, Craig Miller and his wife, Marilyn, who came for birding and stayed for the concert, summed up the experience this way: "The setting (Fort Rock) enhanced the music, and the music enhanced the setting. It is rare these days to see urban and rural folks sharing their enjoyment, but the event did just that. Grandparents, grandchildren, ranchers, environmentalists, politicians—and everyone in between—were united in camaraderie—briefly, spontaneously, unabashedly allowing our perceived barriers to break down as we filled our hearts and souls with the harmony of nature and music. That moment unequivocally proved that Earth's human inhabitants have more in common than not, that the 'divide' is more belief than truth. "Let us pray that everyone will find more moments like these, because, unless we can work together to save the planet, we will be unable to save ourselves."

35 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 38 / September 20, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

here's a story about an old cowpoke from Fort Rock who, having breathed his last, found himself at the gates of Heaven. Peter, the wellknown keeper of the gates, saw the old buckaroo approaching, got out of his comfortable chair and asked, "Who are you, old-timer?" "My name's Sam," the cowboy answered. "Where ya' from, Sam?" Pete asked. "Fort Rock," the old-timer responded. St. Peter shifted from one foot to the other, scratched his old, gray hair and then with hesitation in his voice said, "Well... you can come on in if you wanna, Sam…but this place ain't near as pretty as Fort Rock." And that, dear reader is just one reason why I'm going to be buried there. Fort Rock is a magnificent place to go birding—especially birds of prey. At just about any time of the year you can find both Golden and Bald eagles somewhere in the vicinity. It also provides important nesting habitat for Prairie falcons, Barn owls, American kestrels, Great horned owls, White-throated swifts, Meadow larks, Rock doves and other species. Fort Rock is a tuff ring created by volcanic activity some say took place during the last ice age. (I don't agree with the age; I think it's a lot older.) The tuff ring is about 4,460 feet in diameter and stands about 200 feet high above the plain. “Tuff" is not an error in spelling for "tough.” It's a geological term. The name Fort Rock is derived from the tall, vertical, weather-worn, sides that resemble the palisades of a fort. It’s said that William Sullivan, an early settler, named Fort Rock in 1873 while searching for lost cows. If you want to know more of the history of Fort Rock, read Reub Long and E. R. Jackman's book, "The Oregon Desert." According to what Phil Brogan taught me in the ‘50s, tuff is an igneous rock formed by continuous violent volcanic eruptions. When the material is compacted and cemented into rock, it’s called "tuff." In Fort Rock's case, each eruption gushed hot mud, ash and lava from the vent, causing the formation to get higher and higher, then sloping off to form a huge doughnut-like ring on the surface. During the tail end of the last ice age, the wave-cut terraces on the south side of the ring were formed and mark former lake levels of this now dry lakebed, a spot that lizards, like the Side-blotched utas, love to hunt ants and beetles today. Southerly winds—still predominant— drove the waves relentlessly until they eroded the soft ash layers, breaching it, and creating a large opening. It is managed today by Oregon State Parks, which gives guided tours to old Monkenmier Cave, aka Fort Rock Cave,

American vs. European Dream Homes Recent survey shows similarities and differences

home was 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and 1,589 square feet on .9 acres. Everyone has an idea of what they want in a home, and no home will be absolutely perfect in terms of having all the features, amenities and location. Plus, few of us can afford our true dream home. It's important to remember that this ideal home survey is without the budget constraints most of us would add if we were purchasing a home. Still, the difference between what Americans consider their ideal home as compared to how most of us live is interesting, as is the difference between European tastes.

A recent survey of 600 Americans and Europeans about their ideal homes showed some interesting results. The survey, conducted by Porch.com, showed many similarities, but some big differences as well. The survey asked respondents about their ideal home in terms of square footage, exterior style of home, flooring preferences and so on. Both groups tended to prefer ranch style homes, a suburban, waterfront location, hard flooring surfaces over carpet and new construction. The big difference: Americans preferred much larger homes. For most Americans surveyed, the ideal home was 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and 4,982 square feet on 10.6 acres. Europeans surveyed indicated their ideal

It’s no surprise some of your older co-workers smear you as a “bad millennial.” You’re younger and cheaper to keep around, and the hair on your head isn’t there thanks to a Groupon for Dr. Hair Plugs. So, yes, some of them probably do want to stick it to you. But for a little perspective on their annoying college-splainings—these unsolicited lectures on the value of the higher education you’ve already gotten—consider my critical take on what’s come to be called “mansplaining.” Merriam-Webster defines this as a man’s explaining “something to a woman in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic.” As I see it, there’s a problem with this interpretation, and it’s the rather victim-thinky assumption that a man’s tone and line of blather are driven by his having little respect for a woman simply because she’s a woman. Sure, that could be the case. However, I’m with my evolutionary psychologist friend Diana Fleischman (@sentientist), who tweeted: “There’s already a word for mansplaining. It’s called being patronizing. And I’m as good at it as any man.” And let’s get real: Say some dude in a bar starts instructifying me (somewhat in error!) on evolutionary psychology research—work by a researcher I know and whose papers I have been reading for going on 20 years. Chances are, Mr. Bar Dude does not have psychic powers and isn’t thinking, “Ha, you big redheaded moron...I read one news story, and I already know way more than you!” He’s probably just trying to sound knowledgeable and interesting to a chick in a bar. Well, the same probably goes for your colleagues launching into these higher-ed-splainings. This doesn’t mean you have to go all ear slave for them. Put your hand up -- the international sign for “would you kindly shut your big trap for a second?”—and say, “Thanks...appreciate your wanting to help.” Next, add some polite form of “Been there! Graduated that!” You might also give some consideration

to your look. I’m not saying you should wear a monocle and carry a cane, but maybe grow a little facial hair and dress and accessorize like an adult. (Yes, this means avoiding T-shirts and Spider-Man backpacks and anything else that makes you look like a 14-yearold with a beard.) Finally, there’s a little secret to getting treated as somebody’s equal, and it’s acting the part. If some graying co-worker makes age-related cracks about your tech usage, don’t go all woundypants. Laugh and tease ‘em right back—telling them they should cut the hints and Amy Alkon just ask you directly when they want your tech-savvy millennial help with texting nudies from their side-entry bathtub.

Can’t Bi Me Love I’m a bisexual 29-year-old woman. I just started dating an awesome guy and ultimately see myself in a long-term hetero relationship. However, though I’ve only dated a girl once, I am extremely aroused by women, and now I’m struggling to get turned on with my new partner. —Blahs There’s an elephant in the room, but unfortunately, it isn’t the kind you can climb on and ride off to the nearest girlbar. Sexual orientation, as explained by Kinsey Institute research fellow Justin Lehmiller in “Tell Me What You Want,” is “the degree to which we are biologically predisposed to desiring men, women, both, or neither.” There’s another factor in play—“sexual flexibility”— which Lehmiller describes as “a willingness to deviate not only from our sexual orientation but also from what our culture and society have told us we should want when it comes to sex.” You may see yourself in that classic hetero relationship out of a ‘50s magazine ad—mommy, daddy, picket fence-ie, and the rest. Unfortunately, wanting to be turned on by somebody isn’t enough to make it happen. Remove the labels from the equation—lesbian, bi, hetero—and figure out the physical characteristics that need to be present for you to be attracted to another person. Maybe it’s just this dude who doesn’t work for you—or maybe no dude would do it for you. Be honest with yourself about that—even if it would muck up your current relationship plan. For a relationship to be viable, the thing you say to your boyfriend in bed should not be: “Hey, honey...know what would really turn me on? If you left the room and sent Felicia in here in your place.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo businessman

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As he stepped up to use an ATM in a supermarket, a Scottish man named Colin Banks found £30 (about $40 U.S.) that the person who used the machine before him had inadvertently neglected to take. But rather than pocketing it, Banks turned it in to a staff member, and eventually the cash was reunited with its proper owner. Shortly after performing his good deed, Bank won £50,000 (about $64,500 U.S.) in a game of chance. It was instant karma in dramatic action—the positive kind! My analysis of the astrological omens reveals that you're more likely than usual to benefit from expeditious cosmic justice like that. That's why I suggest you intensify your commitment to doing good deeds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): As you dive down into your soul's depths in quest for renewal, remember this testimony from poet Scherezade Siobhan: "I want to dig out what is ancient in me, the mistaken-for-monster . . . and let it teach me how to be unafraid again." Are you brave and brazen enough to do that yourself? It's an excellent time to douse your fear by drawing wild power from the primal sources of your life. To earn the right to soar through the heights in November and December, delve as deep as you can in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to author Elizabeth Gilbert, here's "the central question upon which all creative living hinges: do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?" When I read that thought, my first response was, why are the treasures hidden? Shouldn't they be completely obvious? My second response was, why do you need courage to bring forth the treasures? Shouldn't that be the easiest and most enjoyable task imaginable? Everything you just read is a perfect riddle for you to contemplate during the next 14 months, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A blogger named Sage Grace offers her readers a list of "cool things to call me besides cute." They include dazzling, alluring, sublime, magnificent, and exquisite. Is it OK if I apply those same adjectives to you, Capricorn? I'd like to add a few more, as well: resplendent, delightful, intriguing, magnetic, and incandescent. I hope that in response you don't flinch with humility or protest that you're not worthy of such glorification. According to my astrological analysis, now is one of those times when you deserve extra appreciation for your idiosyncratic appeal and intelligence. Tell your allies and loved ones that I said so. Inform them, too, that giving you this treatment could help mobilize one of your halfasleep potentials.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many educated Americans and Europeans think of reincarnation as a loony delusion, even though it's a cornerstone of spiritual belief for over 1.5 billion earthlings. I myself regard it as a hypothesis worthy of intelligent consideration, although I'd need hundreds of pages to explain my version of it. However you imagine it, Aquarius, you now have extra access to knowledge and skills and proclivities you possessed in what we might refer to as your "past lives"—especially in those past lives in which you were an explorer, maverick, outlaw, or pioneer. I bet you'll feel freer

and more experimental than usual during the next four weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "When the winds of change blow," says a Chinese proverb, "some people build walls while others build windmills." Since the light breezes of change may soon evolve into brisk gusts of change in your vicinity, I wanted to bring this thought to your attention. Will you be more inclined to respond by constructing walls or windmills? I don't think it would be foolish for you to favor the walls, but in the long run I suspect that windmills would serve you better.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "The flower doesn't dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes." So says poet and philosopher Mark Nepo in The Book of Awakening. Now I'm transmitting his observation to you. I hope it will motivate you to expend less energy fantasizing about what you want and devote more energy to becoming the beautiful, useful, irresistible presence that will attract what you want. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to make plans to produce very specific blossoms.

TAURUS (April 20May 20): Budi Waseso, the former head of the Indonesian government's anti-narcotics division, had a radical plan to prevent escapes by people convicted of drug-related crimes. He sought to build detention centers that would be surrounded by moats filled with crocodiles and piranhas. But his replacement, Heru Winarko, has a different approach. He wants addicts and dealers to receive counseling in comfortable rehabilitation centers. I hope that in the coming weeks, as you deal with weaknesses, flaws, and sins—both your own and others'—you'll opt for an approach more like Winarko's than Waseso's.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In one sense, a "patron saint" is a Catholic saint who is a heavenly advocate for a person, group, activity, thing, or place. St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes, for instance. St. Francis of Assisi is the guardian of animal welfare and St. Kentigern is the protector against verbal abusers. "Patron saint" may also be invoked poetically to refer to a person who serves as a special guide or influence. For example, in one of his short stories, Nathaniel Hawthorne refers to a veteran nurse as "the patron saint of young physicians." In accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to fantasize about persons, groups, activities, things, or places for whom you might be the patron saint. To spur your imagination, here are some appropriate possibilities. You could be the patron saint of the breeze at dawn; of freshly picked figs; of singing humorous love songs in the sunlight; of unpredictable romantic adventures; of life-changing epiphanies while hiking in nature; of soul-stirring music. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In August 1933, author Virginia Woolf wrote a critical note to her friend, the composer Ethel Smyth, lamenting her lack of emotional subtlety. "For you," Woolf told Smyth, "either things are black, or they're white; either they're sobs or shouts—whereas, I always glide from semi-tone to semi-tone." In the coming weeks, fellow Cancerian, you may encounter people who act like Smyth. But it will be your sacred duty, both to yourself and to life, to remain loyal and faithful to the rich complexity of your feelings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "People think of education as something they can finish," said writer and scientist Isaac Asimov, who wrote or edited over 500 books. His point was that we're wise to be excited about learning new lessons as long as we're on this earth. To cultivate maximum vitality, we should always be engaged in the processes of absorbing new knowledge and mastering new skills and deepening our understanding. Does that sound appealing to you, Leo? I hope so, especially in the coming weeks, when you will have an enhanced ability to see the big picture of your future needs for education.

VOLUME 22 ISSUE 38 / September 20, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Warren Buffet is among the top five wealthiest people on the planet. In an average year, his company Berkshire Hathaway adds $36 billion to its already swollen coffers. But in 2017, thanks to the revision of the U.S. tax code by President Trump and his buddies, Buffet earned $65 billion—an increase of 83 percent over his usual haul. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you're entering a year-long phase when your financial chances could have a mild resemblance to Buffet's 2017. I'm not predicting your earnings will increase by 83 percent. But 15 percent isn't unreasonable. So start planning how you'll do it!

SMOKE SIGNALS

By Josh Jardine

Celebri-weed www.williesreserve.com

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 20, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Celebrity weed, "Willie's Reserve" from Willie Nelson.

ately, some of the people I’ve seen play pretend on my “story box,” or people whose music I listen to, or people who I watch do things with a sportsball that earn them millions of dollars, are becoming involved in cannabis. They’re pushing cannabis in many forms—and the term “celebrities” should by no means diminish the activist work performed by any of these folks on behalf of medical use, legalization, etc. Celebrities such as Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg, who between them have potentially consumed hundreds of pounds of cannabis over decades? No one has ever said, “I was not aware that Mr. Nelson/Dogg enjoyed partaking of the pot weed. This is new information to me.” Both have made cannabis part of their brands over the years. Perhaps the foremost name associated with cannabis is Bob Marley. Marley’s widow Rita and his 11 children formed Marley Naturals, backed by investment group Privateer Holdings, which has raised $200 million for the brand. (Privateer CEO Brendan Kennedy told Merry Jane, "Bob Marley is more closely tied to the product than anyone we could think of... In some places people even say, 'Let's go smoke a Bob Marley.’” No, “they” do not, Brendan. No one you want to get high with says that.) “Closely tied to the product” is telling. It’s not weed, marijuana or cannabis—it’s the “product.” There are celebrities who are getting involved into cannabis strictly because this is a “product” that will provide a high ROI. This includes the man about whom Metalblast.net published the fascinating think piece, “Top Five Reasons Why Gene Simmons Is A Piece of Shit.” The frontman of KISS has invested $10 million into Invicutus, a Canadian cannabis producer. Yet he admits he has never smoked pot, and told CNN Money, “I've got $10 million wrapped up in the stock because I believe in it. For me, it's a business move." Is someone who’s never smoked cannabis someone I need to hear from? Nope. This isn't to say that celebrities shouldn’t profit from the recreational

cannabis industry, which many believe is poised for national legalization. Tommy Chong is as synonymous as anyone with cannabis and has been more than just a stoner archetype. In 2003, Chong was sentenced to nine months in federal prison, fined $20,000 and forfeited over $100,000. His sole “crime” was selling 7,500 bongs and pipes from his website, Nice Dreams. Chong did time for selling bongs and credits cannabis for curing his cancer. His screen work is arguably the precursor to all stoner comedies of the past 50 years. His brand, Chong’s Choice, supports a true OG for the cause, whom I would rather support than someone like Simmons. Athletes who used cannabis during and post-career have also come on board. Al Harrington played 16 seasons in the NBA and become a cannabis convert after a botched knee surgery. He started Viola, a vape cartridge and extract company carried in several states. Mike Tyson has recently broken ground on a 40-acre “cannabis resort” in the California desert, including 20 acres of cultivation, an edibles factory and an amphitheater. (In 2000, Tyson had a winning TKO decision changed to “no contest” after testing positive for cannabis.) A lack of capital and loans via traditional banking systems limits options for cannabis businesses. Partnering with a celebrity, and their often deep-pocketed partners, can be a much-needed lifeline to a cannabis brand. But providing easier access to capital would allow craft cannabis businesses to stay independent while expanding their operations. The people who produce the best cannabis often aren't public figures. Let’s hope there will soon come a time when they are recognized alongside other agriculture-based superstars—such as chefs, brewers and vintners—and as celebrities in their own right. Part of normalization of cannabis means acknowledging that the people growing and processing the cannabis you enjoy are just as worthy of attention as a former sitcom star, musician or athlete… and perhaps more so.
