ABOUT THE COVER PHOTOGRAPHER BYRON ROE AND HIS INDULGENCE I've always been a Mustang guy and I'm especially a sucker for the 1967 Mustang Fastback. It's in my blood, I assume because my father couldn't stop talking about his '66 convertible every year since my birth. So when I found Rita— named for the American actress Rita Hayworth—three years ago in Rockford, Illinois, I jumped at the chance of owning a car that is not only one of the most iconic symbols of American muscle, but to me, one of the most stylish cars ever designed.

OSU-CASCADES

5 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 39 / September 24, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Wow! I read the headlines of The Bulletin, “Truth in Site’s appeal fails,” it all seem so incredible to me. It seems to me that if you mention the magic words OSU-Cascades, suddenly everyone’s eyes glaze over and they start nodding their heads to everything. The university’s argument was that they might not buy the 46-acre property, even though they have spent over $600,000 holding the property and have researched what they would need to do to it and they speak of it as they envisioned it to add enough capacity to reach 5,000 students, but they might not. That reminds me of when my 6 year old son wanted to ride his bike, I told him to wear a helmet, because he might, by chance, fall. His brilliant comeback was, “I might not.” As adults we are supposed to think ahead and look at the future possibilities, and do what is best, The Big Picture. The other half of “might not” is “might.”

remember us next year for the publication, better yet, why not come in and visit us and see what you are missing?

BREAKFAST AND LUNCH GUIDE I look forward to reading the Source every week when it comes out. They have dropped two bundles of newspapers at our restaurant every week for many years for our patrons to read and keep up with current local events. Imagine my surprise today opening the paper and seeing a Bend Breakfast and Lunch Guide with many great options. Imagine my surprise thumbing through the pages once, then again but still not seeing our name in print in the guide. Sargent’s Café is a Bend tradition, going back some fifty years, many of our patrons remember their parents bringing them in and now they are bringing in their grandkids. No, we are not a new restaurant in Bend, yes, we still open at 6 am every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are a local independent small business providing regulars, locals, and tourists affordable meals. We are the little place that posts birthday wishes on our billboard for our friends and celebrities. Nothing fancy, just good old fashioned food and old fashioned prices, seriously the best value in Bend. If you are looking for bacon and eggs, biscuits and gravy, pancakes or chicken fried steak we’ve got it. (We also serve Rueben sandwiches; I saw that mentioned in the intro to your guide.) Oh, I noticed our neighbors down the street made the guide, I did not realize Stars Cabaret served breakfast? Well, I guess we both are Bend institutions. Please

IN REPLY TO “SEVEN THINGS TO REFLECT ON AS THE FOREST FIRE FLAMES SUBSIDE” (9/23) As a professional forester with 33-years of experience in Oregon, I offer seven comments in response to Mr. Pedery’s opinion piece: 1. It is interesting that he criticizes the forest industry for using fires to advance its agenda even as he is using fires to advance his own. I encourage Oregon Wild to redirect its energy from criticizing others to direct participation in the many collaborative projects underway to promote landscape-scale forest restoration if it believes the priorities are wrong and money is being wasted.

2. He over-generalizes the fire tolerance of “old growth” (however that term is defined).

Yes, for ponderosa pine and western larch, but not so much for lodgepole pine, mountain hemlock, and white fir.

3. He seems to forget that about a third of Oregon’s forests are privately-owned financial assets that the owners would like protected. Unless he is advocating converting all forests to public ownership, just thinning around homes and letting fire run its course everywhere else is not sustainable when environmental, economic, and social values are holistically considered.

4. I would argue that 100 years of fire suppression and the last 30 years of a lack of vegetation management on federal lands have done more to promote recent unnatural fire behavior than continued fire suppression coupled with more active forest management on non-federal lands.

will soon need to be repeated; or 3. Conduct more intensive, science-based, site-specific restoration treatments across the broader landscape, which in some cases might actually generate some revenue.

5. He seems to believe old growth continues to be under attack from logging. I am not sure where that is still happening at any scale close to the acres of old growth are being lost each year to fires than to chainsaws (think Santiam Pass). It is also important to remember that Oregon forests have always been affected by disturbances such as fire, windstorms, insects, and disease and were never an unbroken sea of large trees, but rather a mosaic of different age classes.

LETTER OF THE WEEK

6. His tired rhetoric about environmental damage caused by logging does not reflect modern forest practices regulated by state and federal governments. There are good clearcuts and bad clearcuts just as there are good thinnings and bad thinnings. In the right forest type, in the right location, and depending on management objectives clearcut regeneration harvesting and perhaps even (gasp) salvage harvests can be the best choice and conducted in a manner that protects and maintains forest ecological processes.

7. It seems that society has three choices: 1.

Let fires run their course and live with the consequences; 2. Do tax-payer subsidized light fuel treatments near communities that may or may not be adequate to save them or to restore forests to healthier conditions and

—David Morman

David—We appreciate your thoughtful letter, backed by years of experience in forest management. We agree that at the end of the day it all comes down to making choices, choices based on values. Unfortunately, we can’t help douse the fires, but we can offer you a cup of copyrighted 2015 coffee on us from Palate.

The idea that every college student will ride the bus or walk or bike. What about the winter below freezing, icy roads? Hey, here is a realistic possibility, when the roads are too icy, the city can add more water down the bike lanes and give ice skates to all the students and they can all ice skate to college. Perfect.

Legal Threat is a Wake Up Call

A

s a society, Americans have a reputation for being litigious. This tendency to sue over every too-hot coffee or too-tall neighbor’s fence is tedious, time consuming, and expensive.

But sometimes, lawsuits are the clearest and quickest path to justice. When attempts to work things out informally fail, the mere threat of legal action can be a powerful impetus for change. And when threats fall flat, seeking relief from a judge is not unreasonable, it’s what they’re there for.

Take, for example, the notices of intent to sue, submitted by the environmental groups WaterWatch of Oregon and the Center for Biological Diversity, in response to concerns that local irrigators and the Bureau of Reclamation are mismanaging dams and killing the federally protected Oregon spotted frog.

Representatives from the irrigation districts named in the letters have expressed disappointment over the notices, saying they don’t understand why a group they have collaborated with would take a legal approach.

“WaterWatch is part of the [Deschutes] basin study workgroup,” Central Oregon Irrigation District Manager told the Source. “It was surprising that they filed the notice when they’ve been sitting with us at the table.”

But WaterWatch Communications Director Jim McCarthy writes in a recent letter to the editor that this collaboration has fallen woefully short.

Your Local expert

“Representatives of the various irrigation districts have made statements about purported solutions for this stretch of river emerging from a Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) working group,” McCarthy says. “WaterWatch has been a participant in the HCP working group for approximately six years, during which time there has been little to no change in the management of the Upper Deschutes River or impacts to

fish and wildlife.”

He goes on to allege that after the irrigation districts set up monthly meetings with the HCP working group that WaterWatch understood were intended to address their concerns as well as those of the state and federal fish and wildlife agencies, those meetings were canceled for eight months straight.

“WaterWatch has been extremely patient, but the time for the politics of postponement is over,” McCarthy concludes.

“Solutions for the Upper Deschutes River are needed now, not years from now, and this is why WaterWatch was moved to act.”

As much as we’d prefer a world with fewer lawsuits, we certainly can’t blame WaterWatch and the Center for Biological Diversity for turning up the heat. If the irrigation districts want to avoid a legal battle, they should ensure they are taking appropriate steps to protect the Oregon spotted frog and make those efforts clear and indisputable.

A recent Bulletin editorial notes that, “lawsuits aren’t going to make it rain or snow more.” But the environmental groups aren’t asking for a meteorological miracle. They are asking dam managers to maintain a more consistent flow. And a lawsuit could force the hand of irrigation districts.

We’re all for working things out around the table. But it’s harder to do if you don’t actually show up. The recent decision by the federal government not to list the sage grouse is a good example of how effective collaborations can lead to creative solutions that bypass government intervention.

Perhaps instead of feigning shock and offense that a so-called collaborator would take legal action, irrigators should look to cattle ranchers and others who found a way to work with environmental groups to protect a vulnerable species in a way that works for everyone.

Race for the Climate Cure

Bend Energy Challenge aims for conservation and a cash prize

SIDE NOTES

By Lisa Seales

For the past five years an unparalleled, collaborative, science-based, landscape-scale conservation effort has been underway in 11 states across the western U.S. And, according to the USFW announcement, it’s been a success; across the 173-million acre range, grouse remain well distributed and relatively abundant.

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell describes the sage grouse effort as truly historic and says, “It demonstrates that the Endangered Species Act is an effective and flexible tool and a critical catalyst for conservation.”

A

s the race against climate change continues, local efforts are well underway to make positive changes in Bend in support of the Bend Energy Challenge (BEC), an energy-saving competition, prompted by the Georgetown Energy Prize. As one of two Oregon semifinalists (including Corvallis), Bend is hoping its efforts will be enough to garner the top prize—$5 million.

The competition pits Bend against 49 other communities around the country to develop lasting, sustainable, energy-saving innovations. To make it this far in the competition, The Environmental Center, which is spearheading the challenge, partnered with municipal folks including the City, Bend Parks and Rec, the Bend La Pine School District, and the power companies—who are pulling all the data for the competition—to implement strategies to increase energy efficiency over the twoyear period from 2015 to 2016.

“They were all really excited to do it,” says Lindsay Hardy, project director for the BEC, “which shows how forward thinking we are here in Bend.”

According to Gillian Ockner, senior policy analyst for the City of Bend, the City is participating through energy use reduction at its facilities, employee engagement, and policy changes. Many of these efforts are part of an ongoing attempt to better conserve energy at the City. For example, the City has been part of the Energy Trust of Oregon’s Strategic Energy Management Program since 2012.

“We are on track to meet our goal of reducing energy consumption at our facilities by 15 percent from our 2012 baseline

within a three-year period, through 2016.

To date, we have saved 9.4 percent in electricity and 6.5 percent in gas compared to our 2012 baseline,” Ockner explains. “Our estimated savings from reduction in energy consumption is $27,000 and we have received an estimated $5,600 in Energy Trust of Oregon incentives.”

Thus far, she says, all those savings have come at minimal costs to the City. They’ve been able to achieve those reductions by simply fine-tuning building systems and educating staff in energy efficiency practices.

The BEC started at the beginning of this year, so it’s well underway, but far from over. There are plenty of opportunities for Bendites to get involved and educate themselves about reducing energy usage, giving Bend a competitive edge for the competition—and the future. This week is a particularly good time to get involved because it’s the Bend Energy Challenge Week and the 15th annual Green Tour—a week of energy education and inspiration for the whole family and building community.

“The tour is really exciting because we are celebrating people who are doing things right in the community, and these are great examples to see first hand what you can do. So even if you’re not building a new home, there are takeaways from the tour about what you can do in your own home,” Hardy explains. She also notes that there are two retrofits on the tour that show what’s possible when doing upgrades and improvements on existing homes. One home was built in 1971 and the other in 2013, “showing that your home is never too old or too new to have a tune-up.”

However, you don’t have to buy a new home or do a major renovation to participate in the BEC. Hardy encourages community members to start by taking the pledge to be a Bend Energy Hero at bend. wattzon.com. The website offers online tips for saving energy that don’t require a significant financial investment or a major behavior change. Next, she says, consider having an energy assessment done on your home. Local businesses like GreenSavers, Neil Kelly, and Button Up Energy are all available to do comprehensive analyses of how homes are using, and losing, energy.

Another simple step: Get an energy kit from the Energy Trust of Oregon; the kits contain up to 12 free light bulbs, which provide instant energy savings. And finally, Hardy says, don’t underestimate the power of word of mouth. Every person who learns about the Bend Energy Challenge puts the group one step closer to its 5,200 engagement goal.

“Just having this conversation is helpful,” she says.

While $5 million is a good motivator for Bendites to make some positive changes in their homes, lifestyles, communities, and the climate, it’s not just about the prize.

Whether or not Bend takes home the top prize, it’s already starting to reap rewards.

While the data isn’t in yet, the preliminary accounting shows that the community may have already saved more than a million dollars this year through conservation.

“If we win, we win,” Hardy says, noting, “but even if we don’t win, we still win.”

Check out all the workshops and homes on the tour at bendenergychallenge.org/events.

Tom Vilsack, secretary of U.S. Agriculture, highlights that “Together, we have shown that voluntary efforts joining the resources of private landowners, federal and state agencies, and partner organizations can help drive landscape-level conservation that is good for sage-grouse, ranching operations, and rural communities.”

Here in Oregon, Gov. Kate Brown called the decision a “big win” for Oregon, and stated that “Oregonians have reason to be very proud of the work done by partners supporting healthy Oregon ecosystems, rural communities, and economies.”

Here’s hoping the positive momentum created by the impending listing continues into the future without the proposed threat.

The City of Bend continues work on the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) expansion, and once again they are looking for public input. They’re launching the second part of their online survey that asks the public to weigh in on which UGB expansion scenario they favor. The survey will be available from September 24 to October 14. For more information, check the City’s website, bendoregon.gov/bendugb.

Additionally, there will be a community meeting on the topic of the proposed UGB expansion scenarios. The meeting will be held October 1, from 6:30-8:30 pm, at the Bend Parks & Recreation District’s Riverbend Community Room, at 799 SW Columbia St. The presentation will begin at 7pm, but participants are welcome to arrive anytime. Attendees will also be shown how to use the online survey to comment on the proposed scenarios.

Due to the rebuilding of the railroad crossing, Reed Market Road is scheduled to be closed in both directions from September 22 to October 6. After completion of the railroad crossing, Reed Market road will reopen in both directions.

VOLUME 19 ISSUE 39 / September 24, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

More than a week shy of the deadline at the end of the month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that the greater sage grouse does not warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This marks a historic moment in conservation and resource management.

ith the craziness of summer behind us, the days are getting shorter, and we find ourselves settling back into a daily routine. After the frenetic energy of summer, now is the perfect time to relax a bit and indulge. What does it mean to truly indulge? The concept behind indulgence is doing something you really want, enjoy, or desire, and sometimes, but not always, that pleasure is thought of as wrong or unhealthy. If you were raised Catholic, an indulgence is seen as a way to reduce the amount of punishment for one’s sins.

Putting religion aside, this issue of the Source focuses on a variety of ways to treat yourself to something nice. Whether, you’re interested in top-of-the-line electronics, automobile accessories, or active gear, or you’d rather sink into an indulgent experience and enjoy an amazing beverage or a trip to the spa, we’ve got a little something for everyone. If you’re looking for a massage while driving a fancy sports car, or want to sit out in the wildness in your portable hot tub, we’ve got you covered. So go ahead, sit back, relax, and indulge…..it’ll definitely make life a little sweeter.

hen contemplating the idea of indulging or splurging on something nice for yourself, you might seek something tangible, like a new toy. However, another option is to seek out an experience. Sure, it’s nice to have a bright shiny new toy, but we all know that after a short time those new toys typically end up in a corner collecting dust. So, for those of you seeking to indulge in extravagant experiences, here are some great tips to do just that!

Cascade Center

Brasada Ranch Staycation

The Spa at Brasada

Jinsei’s Nirvana

Looking to be pampered to the nines, but not wanting to spend hours or days getting to your destination? Then make the short drive east to Brasada Ranch. This place is rustic elegance at its absolute finest! Whether you are going alone or with your sweetheart, your whole family, or the entire staff from your office, Brasada has something for everyone, and if they don’t they’ll bend over backward to accommodate you. From unbeatable views of the Cascades to the playroom we all wanted as kids (or still want as adults), they truly have it all. Magnificent suites, one, two, three, or four bedroom cabins, two phenomenal restaurants often serving food harvested just miles away, an 18-hole golf course designed so you don’t keep bumping into other golfers, an equestrian center, a luxurious spa, two pools including a lazy river and water slide, a gym, a playroom, a regulation sand volleyball court, tennis courts, pickleball, hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding…. the list really is endless. And they will cater to you, your group, your needs, and your greatest desires. Your wish really is their command!

Lodging prices in the high season range from $220 (for a suite) to $880 (for the four-bedroom cabin), though deals can be found in the shoulder season, so this indulgence is one that might not be out of reach.

There are spas and then there are spas. If you’re looking to relax, unwind, and indulge, this is the place to do it! While most spas have similar offerings, Brasada has (at least) one thing that sets it apart from the competition…. the four-handed massage! Yep, you read that correctly. Lie back and relax while two massage therapists use choreographed, rhythmic movements to induce deep relaxation. The four-handed massage is $268 for 60 minutes, or $392 for 90 minutes. If you’re really looking to indulge, follow that with their replenishing body ritual ($269 for 120 minutes), which includes a lemongrass mimosa body scrub and detoxification seaweed wrap. Conclude your indulgent session relaxing in their steam room and nibbling on their signature lavender shortbread cookies made exclusively for Brasada.

Looking to stay in town and indulge? Well then, set aside four hours for an afternoon of decadence. Why stop at one spa treatment when you can have all the most powerful ones wrapped into one amazing afternoon of relaxation and rejuvenation? Jinsei’s Nirvana allows you to choose between the Hammam Ritual—a Turkish purifying and restorative treatment which includes a lemon coffee scrub, steam, a purifying jasmine clay wrap, and a cardamom and amber therapeutic massage—or a Sento Ritual—a Japanese treatment for releasing tension and stimulating vital flow, that includes a purifying gingergrass bamboo scrub followed by a softening cherry blossom rice buff, a visit to the steam room, and a massage using beautifully scented Kinmoxei wild lime silk oil.

Follow all that indulgence with a skin-reviving oxygenating facial, and finish with lunch and a Jinsei pedicure. $350 for four hours of indulgence.

Price: $1,820 and up

Mercedes air scarf Price: $510-3,750 It’s understandable that in today’s society the task of tying an actual scarf around your neck can be cumbersome and confusing. After all, you need to set down your iPhone and use both hands for about 20 seconds. Never fear!

Mercedes-Benz has removed the need for actual scarves when you decide to drive your convertible with the top down after summer’s end. The automotive kings of comfort have invented a virtual scarf which blows hot air on the back of your neck while you drive, keeping you nice and cozy and looking like a royal ass who doesn’t know what season they’re in. This indulgence is $510 on a SLK55 AMG, or part of a $3,750 package on other models.

If you’re thinking about outfitting the car for resale value, you may want to check your head.

With only a few exceptions, such as alloy wheels or a desirable performance package, most options add almost nothing to the value of a vehicle. Contrariwise, according to Car & Driver, it’s far more common that a vehicle will lose value because it’s lacking a common feature such as power windows, automatic transmission, or air conditioning.

Rolls Royce starlight headliner

But as long as you’re interested in decadent options for the sake of your own comfort, expecting little or no compensation, then there are many fine ways to spoil yourself—with many of them only available from Mercedes-Benz. It remains a sad fact that you can’t have your car seat massage you at the same time it blows hot air on your neck underneath the artificial starlight of your Rolls Royce. Not yet, anyway…

Price: $12,000 (similar feature also available in an Opel Adam for under $500) The king of expensive and useless indulgences has to be the Rolls Royce Phantom, which presents the option to have 1,600 starlight LEDs festooned on the headliner. The price of this unexpected pampering? An extravagant $12,000! However, it gets props for exclusivity, since it’s the only car offering such a feature. Wait, what’s that? You can get one on a European-spec GM car for under $500? Now I feel dumb.

t really depends on how we define indulgence to decide whether we should feel bad about indulging or not. If we’re playing by Catholic rules then we are in “partial remission of temporal punishment,” which means hell, because we still owe some form of penance. That sounds too stressful. Following the more...everyday definition, it is a little simpler: yielding to a desire. Treating yourself to something you want instead of need. The thing we indulge in might not save our lives, but it sure as hell will make that life sweeter.

Tech toys walk a fine line between indulgence and necessity. Being alive in 2015 means having access to certain technologies will enhance not only our quality of life, but also the convenience and accessibility of interaction with culture, popular and otherwise.

While having a 75-inch HD 4K flatscreen with 7.1 surround sound might be seen as incredibly unnecessary, if one of your true joys is

watching films, TV shows, or sports, then it’s basically a priceless investment in happiness.

Life is stressful, dammit, and the moments where true bliss can be found are more important than we give them credit for. Someone who would spend $90,000 on a mountain bike might judge someone for spending $10,000 on a television (and vice versa), but, objectively, everyone has different things that keeps the doldrums away as we wait for that next paycheck or those next vacation days.

Which, yes, makes us consumers. As much as we would all like to be organic farmers living in a yurt, sometimes we just want to watch Bruce Willis blow something up so loudly that we feel it in our toenails. With that said, here are a few things to consume that are absolutely, ridiculously, indulgent...and all the more beautiful for it.

Stereo Planet has a good reputation for indulgences and this setup is by far the most magnificent around. It’s a 4K, 75-inch Sony flatscreen with a 7.1 surround sound system ($5,000). But that’s just the icing, the cake is the accessories.

That beautiful televisual behemoth is connected to a pair of 600W McIntosh monoblock amplifiers ($14,000 a pair) and a McIntosh preamp ($7,000), all coming through flawlessly on Sonos Faber speakers ($13,000). It has a turntable, so there is an analog source, as well. This set-up is mostly geared toward high-quality music, but the video quality from the television is gorgeous. Even the cabling, which is high quality silver wire, will run you around $5,500. All in all, this will set you back around $44,500, but a comfortable home theater is priceless.

The Canon EOS 70D DSLR ($1,299 at Best Buy) is a beast. It has 20.2 megapixels, a 10012,800 ISO equivalent, 7 frames per second, 1080p with Wi-Fi and multiple exposures while also having a casserole ready if you come home from work late and just need to take a little break. The screen on this bad boy shows you the picture you’re taking as opposed to having to look through the viewfinder and as you adjust the ISO, shutter speed, or aperture, the screen shows you exactly what the picture will look like. Maybe we’re not supposed to have this technology. Faces will become too clear and mountain ranges will look so beautiful, we won’t be inspired to climb them.

Oh....AND YOU CAN MAKE MOVIES WITH IT, TOO!! Soon, the Canon will be our master, and we its vassals, sending images to its mother brain, deep beneath the Sierra Nevadas. Seriously though, this camera is amazing and will change your life.

Smoking weed is complicated nowadays with vapes, dabs, nails, and everything in between. For the health-conscious head, there is the D-Nail Ninja ($550) for concentrates. It heats the pen electronically via wall plug-in, so that way the clumsier stoners don’t kill themselves by torch or other extreme flame device. The 12-inch T-case comes with a digital control station, heaters, nails, a coil heater with kevlar sheath, and power cords. April Grow from A Piece of Mind reminded this reporter that, “Glass can be techy, too,” especially with the advent of the Hi Si ($350), a scientific approach to smoking. With a percolator design that induces maximum cooling to the smoke you inhale, it reduces the health risks inherent in inhaling hot, smoke-filled air. Walter White would love this thing. This way, you can have a pretty glass accessory, while also filling your tech quota.

While it’s not the greatest massage in the world, it’s still a massage while you’re driving your car, which is better than you’re getting unless you’ve hired a masseuse to sit in the seat directly behind you. Sometimes, putting a five-year-old with cramping legs behind you will net the same result for cheaper. The option comes stand-alone for $1,820 on a S550, or is part of a premium package on the CL550, or comes included if you buy anything with a V-12. While now available from other luxury manufacturers, Mercedes pioneered this luxury option in 2000.

There are a couple of decisions you need to make before your purchase. First, identify your reasons for wanting to outfit your vehicle. Is it for you, or are you doing it to increase resale value? Do you want a nifty doo-dad because you think it’s cool, or because you expect that somebody else will want it later on?

Mercedes-Benz massaging seats

odern auto indulgences can bring the great outdoors inside, and the comfort of a sedan into the world of topless automobiles. Everybody seems to want what they don’t have. Those with open tops want the comfort of a warm cabin. Those with a cabin want to see the stars. If you are torn between the decision to go indoors or outdoors with your next vehicle purchase, and especially if you are obscenely rich, a couple of new options may be able to make life just a little more convenient.

Barley wine Not a wine at all, but a type of very strong ale originating from England. Mirror Mirror from Deschutes is a barley wine, a sort of “mega” version of Mirror Pond Pale Ale featuring earthy toffee-like favors and an eye-popping 11.2 percent alcohol by volume. Anchor Brewing in San Francisco was the first to reintroduce the style to the American craft scene, but Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot (an annual release since 1983!) is the most well-known barley wine in the country right now.

Barrel aging

by Kevin Gifford

W

hat does it take to be a truly dedicated fan of craft ale and liquor? A welltrained palate? A temperature-controlled cellar? A bank account the size of the moon? All three help—but exploring the upper tier of alcohol requires some education, too.

When it comes to beer, the biggest indulgence purchase you can make is undoubtedly Utopias.

Produced on an on-and-off basis by Samuel Adams in Boston, Utopias is a barley wine-style ale, a blend of several beers aged in a selection of different barrels. Poured out of a metallic, potion-like bottle, it may technically be a beer, but it drinks more like a rye or some other sipping liquor—not the kind of thing you chug for summer refreshment, but a a drink meant to be savored over a roaring fire and a good book. It also costs $200 a bottle, ensuring that you’ll look very refined (or very rich) if you leave it laying out on the table for your friends to gawk at.

On the local side, similar indulgent experiences can be found with barrel-aged or sour ales. The Abyss, Deschutes Brewery’s annual imperial stout release, is due out in November, offering heavy oak/wine flavors and a heavier hangover if you attempt to complete a 750-milliliter bottle by

yourself. (Hit the pub when it comes out—you’ll get to enjoy it alongside the past several years’ Abyss releases, giving you an insight into what aging certain beers can accomplish.) The Ale Apothecary’s lineup of wild-fermented ales is an exotic mix of flavors you’ll see with few other beers, and each one of them is worth the $20-30 a bottle. If you really want to exercise your wallet, however, Cascade Brewing is your jam—their line of sour fruit-flavored beers frequently cost over $30 a pop, and while the intense fruit and sour notes in their lineup is a love-it-or-hate-it thing, there’s no denying that it’s unique.

Why stop at beer, for that matter? The Distiller’s Choice line from Oregon Spirit Distillers features a range of heady spirits, from a vodka flavored with Trinidad Scorpion peppers to a straight bourbon whisky aged in new American oak. If you want to go hardcore with it though, look up their Adopta-Barrel program. For a mere $1,300, you can purchase your own barrel, have them age whiskey in it at their facility, then reap the rewards when it’s ready for tapping. (Thriftier drinkers can just sample OSD’s line at their new Barrel Thief tasting room, staging their grand opening next Saturday.)

Certain types of heavier beer, such as barley wines or stouts, can be aged in casks that once held bourbon or wine, granting it a woody oakiness and flavors from whatever liquor it used to hold. The Ale Apothecary ages all of their beer in oak, and Deschutes’ annual Abyss Imperial Stout is a blend of several beers, partially aged in bourbon, Oregon oak, and pinot noir barrels. Goose Island’s Bourbon County Brand Stout lineup is the stuff of dreams for beer fans, and it’s now regularly available in Oregon every fall.

Sour beer Using funky yeast strains and wild fermentation allows brewers to add hints of puckering funkiness to their beer, making it unlike any other style on the market. Portland’s Cascade Brewing is Oregon’s king of sour, with their $30 Kriek tasting precisely like liquid cherry pie in your mouth. Bay Area-based Almanac Beer Co. also provides a line of “farm-to-barrel” sour beers, all readily available around Bend.

Single-pass spirits Distillation is the step between fermentation and maturation when making whiskey. Phrases like “triple-distilled” often get bandied around by spirit makers, but generally speaking, the more distilling you do, the “lighter” and more aromatic the resulting liquor is. Oregon Spirit Distillers’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a single-pass drink, one matured in a smaller 30-gallon barrel to allow a larger surface area of contact between the bourbon and the oak.

hen it comes to the outdoors, luxury is relative. If you’re suffering through a backpacking trip in the pouring rain or driving snow, for example, a pair of warm, fleece-lined waterproof gloves or a hot bowl of miso soup might be your idea of luxury—but those things aren’t indulgent.

If you count the ounces in your pack and then toss in a couple beers at the last minute, that could be considered indulgent. But most indulgent outdoor items really aren’t meant for the backcountry. They’re designed for car-camping, backyard camping, or maybe a multi-day music festival. And when you take weight out of the equation, the sky’s the limit for indulgence in the outdoors. Here are a few items to take your camp to the next level.

Roccbox Pizza Oven

Heimplanet Cave Tent

$465

$545

$699

There’s no better way to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors than from the comfort of your portable hot tub. Sure, a down sleeping bag is cozy enough when the temperature drops and the fire dwindles, but relying on your sleeping bag for warmth is a bit antisocial and the campfire can only keep you warm for so long. The Nomad Collapsible Hot Tub brings luxury to sleeping outside. Weighing just 20 lbs., the Nomad holds 225 gallons and can be filled in 10 minutes. Don’t slink away into your tent for warmth, move the party to the hot tub.

Put down the ramen noodles. Throw out the dehydrated lasagna. Step away from the easy mac. The Roccbox Pizza Oven means that sleeping in the woods and enjoying delectable, wholesome meals are no longer mutually exclusive. Roccbox is a compact and portable solution to the feeling of full, yet under satisfied at camp. It works with propane or wood-fire fuel and can cook up a 12-inch pizza in 90 seconds. It also works great for breads, desserts, veggies, fish, and other meats. Compact though it may be, it weighs in at a hefty 45 lbs., so don’t expect to carry it into the backcountry.

Say goodbye to camping’s biggest buzz kill: Finally getting to camp, finding that perfectly flat spot of soft dirt that’s void of rocks or sticks, and then fumbling around with awkward tent poles and a confusing rain fly when all you want to do is sit down, crack open a cold one, break out the snacks, and enjoy the view. The Cave tent from Heimplanet eliminates the physical effort and accelerates relaxation with a no-assembly-required setup that has your tent up in less than a minute.

It’s made with extra-resistant rip stop nylon that won’t leak or tear, and it fits up to three people comfortably.

Slightly larger than a mailbox, the Roccbox features a stone plate that heats up to 500 degrees in about 15 minutes and can cook virtually anything. It comes with its own recipe book to inspire your inner foodie, it’s weatherproof, with a sleek silicone jacket for added durability. A smoker will be available soon, adding even more versatility to the Roccbox cooking system. The only downsides are the weight and, uh, the price tag, so it’s perfect for car-camping or tailgating but not practical for anywhere too remote.

It’s hard to beat no-assembly-required. The Cave is roomy, stable, and weather-proof, so it simplifies camping and traveling. However, it tips the scale at about 11.5 lbs., so you’ll earn the easy assembly if you backpack it in more than a couple miles. It includes pegs, guy lines, packsack, pump adapter, and a repair kit, but the pump itself must be purchased separately. Also, it’s still rather bulky when packed (20” x 12” x”8”), and this doesn’t include the pump, so it’s really not practical beyond the campground.

The hot tub itself costs $465, but unless you want to sit shivering in frigid water, you’ll need the heating coil, which costs an additional $535, though you can purchase the combo for $850. In addition, the combined weight of both the tub and the coil is 50 lbs., so don’t expect to lug this thing into the backcountry.

The Honda WX10 portable water pump is recommended, and can fill the tub in 10-15 minutes. Depending on the outside temperature, it will take two and a half to three and a half hours to heat up the tub, so be sure to plan ahead.

Old Fashioned Revival SOUND An The ever-expanding Bend Roots Revival returns

SUGGESTS

By Anne Pick

By Jared Rasic 17

photo by Susana Cobo

Bend Roots Revival is a free festival that features more than 100 bands, from blues to bluegrass, and funk and jazz to rock ‘n’ roll, 9/25 - 9/26.

W

hen asked how to describe the Bend Roots Revival to someone who has never been, co-founder and manager Mark Ransom had this to say: “When someone asks you what a poem is about it’s kind of like, well, you have to read the poem, right?” Since that description is pretty enigmatic and wonderful, it would be nice to leave it at that, but in case more information is needed, more will be given.

The (refreshingly) free event is a three-day music festival on Shevlin Hixon Drive, with six stages between the Art Station and the Deschutes Brewery Warehouse. The music genres are wide and free ranging, with more focus given to quality AND quantity over similar-sounding bands on the same stage. Bend Roots Revival got started in the same way most wonderful things do...with friends.

Ransom explains: “So, another local musician, who I’d been friends with for a long time, by the name of Brett Allen, around 2004-2005 he and I were talking about the number of really awesome internationally touring acts that were coming to town. They were getting off of the tour bus at the Les Schwab amphitheater stage, doing a show, and then getting back on the bus and going to the next town, and we were like, ‘That’s kind of cool,’ but there’s also this rich art community here, and we wish there was more of a stage for them. To its credit, though, Les Schwab has been great doing the summer Sundays shows with local bands. Anyway, our first event was a block party at Parrilla Grill. It was just 12 bands on a Saturday. We called it the Bend Roots Festival, but at our next planning meeting, someone said ‘It’s more than a festival, it’s more like a revival.’ The title stuck.”

Mark Ransom looks at the festival as an amazing congregation of people, but also as something more: “It’s always a fun party and it’s always a fun celebration of the local scene. What people don’t know is that when they come to the Roots Festival, it’s a free event, but they’re supporting performing arts education in Bend, and that’s really more important than anything else.”

Also in the business of musical education is Joe Schulte of String Theory Music, which teaches guitar, banjo, mandolin, cello, bass, violin/fiddle, piano, voice, and group performance to students of all ages. He is in an interesting position for the festival. He plays in Moon Mountain Ramblers, Tone Red, and Popcorn, which are

all performing at the festival...on the same day.

Joe explains the differing qualities of his three bands: “Moon Mountain Ramblers were started almost 15 years ago when I was just starting to learn the mandolin. Dan McClung and I connected through a note he had left on a local bulletin board.

We quickly made a friendship and had similar musical tastes, got some others on board to achieve full bluegrass instrumentation, and formed MMR, which to this day used those genres as a strong base for our general sound. Tone Red has a very different sound from MMR, being more electric, rock, and blues, rather than acoustic bluegrass and swing. Crystal Pizzola is our strong front singer in Tone Red. Born with a beautiful strong voice, she seems to turn heads no matter where, or what she sings. In Popcorn we like to say we play acoustic instrumental covers of the songs you do, and don’t want to hear. We like to have tons of fun in this band and bring humor into our stage act. Much of the humor comes simply from our song choices such as “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” or “Hit Me Baby One More Time” while also jumping into serious rock tunes like “Under the Bridge” or “War Pigs.”

Schulte and The Ramblers have a long history with Bends Roots Revival. Schulte explains: “Being a longtime staple band of Bend and also being friends with Mark Ransom, The Moon Mountain Ramblers have had the honor of playing every Roots Fest to date. I feel the Ramblers have carried the torch and have really helped the other two bands get in with the town’s music scene, jump starting their ‘acceptance’ and popularity.”

As Ransom compares this three-day event to a poem, he has a moment of intense clarity. “Just come to the event and wander around,” Ransom says. “Take it in and be a part of it. It’s an organic thing.” We really want to tell you more, but we just can’t find the words.

Bend Roots Revival Friday, Sept, 25, 4 pm-midnight Saturday, Sept. 26, 10:30 am-midnight Sunday, Sept. 27, 10:30 am-10 pm 313 Shevlin Hixon Dr. Free

TWISTED WHISTLE Few things go better with a crisp autumn evening that rootsy folk tunes. Portland-based band Twisted Whistle combines bluegrass, Irish folk, and rock elements to create rootsy-Americana music best enjoyed outside as the sun sets and the fire pit starts burning. Harmonious vocals blend with traditional folk elements to express the band’s range and depth. Featuring original songwriting and three-part vocal harmony.

Closeout the last Friday in September with Twisted Whistle and an Off Leash brew from Crux. 5-8pm. Friday, Sept. 25. Crux Fermentation Project, 50 SW Division St.

PIGWAR With influences ranging from Teddy Pendergrass and Led Zeppelin to Parliament Funkadelic, Portland-based band pigWar plays a raw take on psychedelic-soul music.

Their explosive live shows feature all original tunes that they have woven together to create a sound landscape listeners can shake their booties to. pigWar is a collaboration between Portland artists Teddy Presberg and Garett Brennan. The cool fall air may have arrived, but attend this show and leave sweating from the pure psychedelic heat generated by the pigWar dance attack.

10pm. Friday, Sept. 25. Astro Lounge, 939 NW Bond St. No cover.

It doesn’t matter what time the alarm for work goes off in the morning, Strange Hotel’s “gothadelic” sound has to be heard to be believed. Singles “All the World’s a Strange Hotel” and “Tightrope” could be found either as B-sides to the Almost Famous soundtrack or a Black Keys album. Drunk Pilot also performs. 9pm.

By Eric Skelton 19 Dressed up as fairly simple and digestible acoustic pop music, multiple listens of his songs reveal meatier themes and socially conscious messages.

“I think there’s a basic need to communicate and have a point of view within the context of pop music,” Greenwood says. “I wanted to incorporate something that

“I have a lot of limitations as far as my vocal range and my guitar playing goes. I’ve been around enough really good guitar players to realize that I shouldn’t be doing solos,” Greenwood laughs over the phone. “I always just wanted to do something from the heart to touch people, man. That’s where my strength lies. I’ll let the prodigies be the prodigies.”

On the back of crisp hiphop inspired drums and bright acoustic guitars, Greenwood is happy to keep his music relatively simple and let the raw nature of his vocals guide the direction of the songs. With a long background writing poetry, that direction usually ends up being a strikingly honest and vulnerable one.

Turnaround Arts, $1 from every ticket he sells goes to Red Lake Middle School in Minnesota to help incorporate art and music into the school curriculum to turn around low-test scores.

Of course, as happy as Greenwood’s fan base is to see him out on the road and contributing to charitable causes, anticipation has been building for new material since his last release in 2012. As we talk, he hints at signing with another major label soon (after spending some time on his own label following previous deals with DreamWorks, Capitol, Arista, and RCA) but he’s content being patient and letting the songs come to him for now.

“As an artist, you’re always thinking about what’s next or what happened in your life,” he explains. “I’ve been studying a lot of philosophies about trying to be more conscious and being in the moment.”

Good things come to those who wait. Citizen Cope; Midtown Ballroom; 9/28.

“I’ve always been so intense and had really bad stage fright,” Greenwood reveals. “Some of the insecurities that you have as a person and the willingness to express those fears and joys are what draw you to being an artist—and I guess those carry on.” He continues, “I’m finally starting to accept that the audience is on my side now. I’m starting to learn to harness some of that energy and ride it like a wave as opposed to paddling directly into it.”

would be rebellious and protesting what I felt was wrong with the current state of human affairs while making it palatable and interesting and something you could nod your head to. That way people could still groove to it and I wouldn’t be talking down to them or trying to preach, while still having something with some substance.”

Greenwood isn’t content limiting his social activism to his lyrics, however. Teaming up with an organization called

“It’s about taking your time and waiting for something to happen,” Greenwood notes. “I remember when Henri Cartier-Bresson, the great photographer from Paris, said, ‘You never want anything, you just wait. Wait for it to come to you.’ I think there’s an element of that in all art. You just have to be present and patient.”

itizen Cope’s head-nodding blend of acoustic soul, hip-hop, and folk music has taken the singer-songwriter around the world over the last 15 years and earned him both critical and commercial success—but you wouldn’t know it by talking to him. Born Clarence Greenwood, the Washington D.C. native radiates a humble sensibility that complements the low-key charm found on his records.

Something Wilde

C

An Ideal Husband opens CTC’s theater season

By Jared Rasic

By Jared Rasic 29

An Ideal Husband mostly focuses on honor and how that ideal fits into society, politics, and romance.

The somewhat complicated plot is as follows: Sir Robert Chiltern (a very dignified Jim Mocabee) and his wife Lady Gertrude Chiltern (a strong Emily Cady) are having a very fancy dinner party with some of London’s very upper crust. One of the dinner guests is Mrs. Cheveley (a fantastic Kelley Ryan), an old enemy of Lady Chiltern’s. Cheveley has come to the party to engage in a bit of blackmail with Sir Chiltern, who initially made his fortune by selling a Cabinet secret that suggested he buy stocks in the Suez Canal days before the government announced its purchase. She wants Chiltern to support a scheme to build a canal in Argentina, a fraudulent one, and if he won’t, then evidence of Chiltern’s past misdeeds will come to light.

Meanwhile, Chiltern’s best friend, Lord Arthur Goring (a scene-stealing Will Futterman) is biding his time as a layabout dandy, but gets pulled into the middle of the intrigue, as Mrs. Cheveley is Goring’s first love and destroyer of his heart. His father wants him to get engaged in the next few days, but he can’t seem to find the energy to care. Mabel Chiltern (a lovely Annie Trevisan) enters as Robert’s

sister, a snarky Disney princess, avoiding as many proposals as she can.

All of these disparate storylines combine, with the added intrigue of a stolen broach, mistaken identities, and a lord’s honor, to make for a delightful and fastpaced romp through high society. The cultural phenomenon that is “Downton Abbey” should prepare audiences for theater that luxuriates in language. Wilde was a master at writing flowery dialogue that was pointed underneath, showing the aristocracy as shiftless layabouts that only really ever came alive when sniping at each other. The barbs traded in this show had the audience rolling and secretly pocketing a few of them to use against a neighbor or co-worker later.

Director Brian Johnson has staged the show well, in a non-flashy way that brings the attention to Wilde’s words more than his direction. The moments of physical humor show remarkable restraint, as the show has sometimes been staged as goofy, while this production rests on the words and performances.

A performance of Oscar Wilde material lives and dies by its cadence, rhythm, and pacing.

CTC’s production had a rocky first 10 or 15 minutes (which is completely understandable since it was their first performance for an audience), but once the actors all synchronized, the show became an absolute delight, with a wonderfully paced second act and several laugh-outloud moments.

An Ideal Husband is dialogue heavy enough to probably go over the heads of most kids, but if they are fans of theater, the sumptuous costume design by Kelley Ryan, the stunning set design by Nicholas May, and the subtle and evocative lighting

by Jim Mocabee make for a beautiful play to look at, even if the story is out of reach.

he ninth annual Latino Community Association’s Festival of Cultures returns to Redmond’s Centennial Park September 26 with more culture than ever before. According to Executive Director Brad Porterfield, the festival will include 15 cultural booths, 10 sponsor/ business booths, nine informal Street Fair booths, 21 nonprofit Kid’s Area booths, nine food vendors, and 10 performers.

“Hosting a Festival of Cultures is a gesture toward the community as a whole that says, ‘You are welcome here,'” Porterfield explains. “It says we’re interested in you no matter what your background is or even because of what your background is. Hospitality is a traditional American value, even if we haven’t always practiced it in equitable ways throughout our history.”

To illustrate that welcome, the community will witness 19 neighbors from 14 countries—including Mexico, the Philippines, Benin, China, India, Israel, Jordan, the Netherlands, Peru, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Venezuela and the United Kingdom—as they take their oaths of citizenship.

The day’s festivities are as follows: 10 am: Welcome/Bienvenida 10:05 am: Official Citizenship Oath Ceremony 10:45 am: Keynote: José Balcazar 11 am: Central Oregon Showcase Chorus (Patriotic songs) 11:20 am: Parade of Cultures Noon: Chiringa 12:45 pm: Hokule’a Ohana Polynesian Dancers

scar Wilde was the world’s first genre mash-up artist. He loved comedy, he loved horror, he loved tales of high society, and he loved farce. At any given moment in one of his works, he might dive from drawing room comedy to farce, dash it up with some romance, and maybe throw a villain in for the hell of it. His unpredictability as a writer—and his uncommon knack for scripting consistently deft witticisms—is what keeps his work popular and relevant over a hundred years after his death.

With Cannabis CHOW Cooking Putting the ‘pot’ in crockpots

By Charlie Hunter 31

In truth, records show that people have been making food and drink with cannabis for well over a thousand years.

From the narcotic drink bhang of 10th century India to the cannabis cafes of Amsterdam, pot has a long and seasoned history in the kitchen. It’s used as an herb to accent flavors, as a butter or oil for baking and cooking, and it makes an undeniably pretty garnish! Variety is the spice of life. When it comes to the culinary arts, the uses of cannabis are endless. All it takes is a love of cooking, an affinity for this most versatile of herbs, and an imagination as diverse as one's tastes.

As with any project, getting started is often the hardest part. Many uninformed folks jump on the brownie recipe for its simplicity. They buy pre-made mix, follow the directions on the box, grind up a handful of weed, and toss it in as the magical ingredient. Is this wrong? No. But it certainly isn’t the right way to do it. For one, the taste of the weed comes across as overpowering and its effects are minimal if felt at all. In essence, our canna-cook has wasted perfectly good herb. It should be noted that while THC is not water-soluble, it is most certainly fat-soluble. This means that things like milk, butter, olive oil, and coconut oil are your best friends in the kitchen. So, back to those brownies.

turn that fun green ingredient into something usable and universal: weed butter or oil. With this, one can convert nearly any recipe into its happier, THC-enriched version.

Making oil or butter is incredibly simple, and while it is a bit time consuming, it takes minimal effort. There are more than a few ways to do this, but for the sake of being concise, break out that crockpot. The key is to use low heat for a prolonged duration, and the crockpot is the preferred tool for this.

The next step is to decide what type of oil or butter to use. Get some butter, olive oil, coconut butter, coconut oil, or whatever suits your fancy. Now for the weed.

There is certainly nothing wrong with grinding up a pile of hearty, crystal-studded buds. In fact, this will produce a significantly more potent product. But, in the thriving world of the cannabis growing culture, trim is an abundant and cheap resource. It also works fine for making cooking supplies. Toss the weed and the butter into that crockpot and set it on low heat. Once the butter melts down, it is ideal to have it just covering the plant matter.

Let the crockpot do its thing for at least 12 hours and as many as 24.

Kill the heat and pour it all off through a nice tight-mesh

strainer or cheesecloth to remove the stripped plant matter. This can be discarded. You will be left with a pleasant, green end product that can be used for almost anything, and when refrigerated, lasts for ages. Now, all our canna-cook needs to do is follow any run-of-the-mill recipe and substitute their pot product in place of its non-intoxicating version. Obviously, one can increase or decrease these portions to facilitate proper dosage. The extracted product will have a much more palatable taste, and depending on the quantities used in making the butter or oil, a significantly more effective and scrumptious edible.

Now, suddenly, those pot brownies are very simple. A fair warning regarding the consumption of pot brownies, and pot food in general: While there are many urban myths associated with weed, the munchies are very real. Be aware that while smoking weed brings about the effects nearly instantaneously, edibles require digestion. The effect from edibles is usually felt as a body high rather than a head high. So as delicious as that first brownie was, it’s advisable to hold off on the second until the full effects of the first have begun to abate, or one might find one’s self as immobile as the couch they have fused with.

With that in mind, good luck in the kitchen and bon appétit!

Before beginning any culinary endeavor, even our aforementioned brownies, there is a very important step. The best thing to do is to

e’ve all heard about the magic brownie. There has been a comical association between pot and the beloved chocolaty desert for as long as I can remember. Popular culture has latched onto this and taken it for quite the ride. Whether it’s Eric Cartman of “South Park” warning his friends about the dangers of hippies and their brownies, or a YouTube video of police officers consuming the delicious edible evidence after a raid, we’ve all seen it somewhere. Magic brownies get people loaded. Thanks pop-culture.

Bend’s Bouquet of Beer, the thoughtful gift for craftheads

By Kevin Gifford

L

ike beer? Fed up with all the pesky driving around and going to the store required to purchase beer? If you live in metro Bend, your prayers have been answered.

way to show someone that you care about them. Maybe the beer won’t last as long as a dozen roses, but it’s 100-percent guaranteed to make you feel better, or at least drunker.

Bouquet of Beer, founded this summer

by Andrew Gorman and Daniel Brewster (with a last name like that, it’d be a crime if he wasn’t involved with beer somehow), is a Bend company with a concept that’s brilliantly simple. Go to their website (bouquetofbeer.com) and use their interface to select six bottles, broadly divided into light, dark, IPA, cider, and gluten-free varieties. Pay for your order, and the beer will be delivered straight to your door, complete with a pint glass and metal opener, in a snappy cardboard holder that looks a bit like a flower bouquet; all this for $39.99, with free delivery anywhere within Bend. (On the same day, even, as long as you order by noon.)

Twenty-six different beers are available from Bouquet of Beer, with the selections changing over time. Here are a few recommendations on what to buy, depending on who the bouquet’s for:

Thoughtful of them, isn’t it? And to a dyed-inthe-wool Bend beer fan, there’s no better

- Keep It Local (Deschutes Mirror Pond, Deschutes Twilight, Deschutes Inversion, GoodLife Descender, GoodLife Sweet As, 10 Barrel Apocalypse): For patriotic Central Oregonians who feel guilty whenever they order a beer hailing from more than fifty miles away. All of these selections offer a nice quaffing experience, with enough hops to keep your mouth happy—and they won’t knock you on the floor, either. Good for those new to beer.

- Dark and Brooding (Oakshire Espresso Stout, Sierra Nevada Porter, Three Creeks Fivepine Chocolate Porter, Deschutes Obsidian Stout, Deschutes Black Butte Porter, Cascade Lakes 20” Brown): If someone you know is feeling gloomy, why not cheer them up with some beer that’s a good color match for their feelings?

Fivepine is one of the best porters made in all the Pacific Northwest, and Oakshire’s stout offers a fairly startling amount of coffee flavor while remaining fairly light and accessible.

- Off the Beaten Path (21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon, 10 Barrel Pub Beer, Sierra Nevada Nooner Pils, 2 Towns Outcider, Ace Hard Pear Cider, Ground Breaker IPA No. 5): Want to surprise someone? Treat him or her to a grab bag of beer that marches to the beat of its own drum. Hell or High Watermelon is like a beer version of Hi-C, 2 Towns and Ace both produce excellent cider, and—well— gluten-free beer is certainly different, anyway.

Matsutake Madness!

Hiking with a purpose

Fortunately, the matsutake mushroom hunting season is currently underway in Central Oregon, a season that, according to Danny Weinrich, special forest products coordinator for the Crescent Ranger District, has drawn a “larger-than-usual” number of license applications. “The Crescent Ranger District sold 151 mushroom permits on the first day that the season opened this year,” he said. “Last year we sold 166 permits in total for the entire season.”

If the cost of the permit seems high, it is worth noting that some harvested mushrooms sold around the world, especially in Japan some have been known to sell for up to $1,000 per pound.

Weinrich said that this year’s mushroom season is “typical.” It benefits from moisture and is hurt by dry

“To properly harvest matsutake mushrooms and not impact future harvests, people should try to harvest by hand and gently rock the mushroom back and forth to remove it,” he added.

According to a Japanese mushroom hunting guide, the highest grade is given to mushrooms that have an even plumpness and measure six inches in length. More important than size, however, is to make sure that the cap has not yet opened.

The Japanese say to choose those that look like the male organ, instead of an umbrella.

A commercial permit is required for those seeking the delicacy and is available at each of the four district offices during regular business hours.

Nelson-Dean reminded harvesters that they must be 18 or older and have valid identification to purchase a permit.

“They tend to like areas with western hemlock, lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir, noble fir, Shasta red fir, sugar pine, and ponderosa pine,” said Weinrich. “To find matsutake mushrooms, look for telltale bumps or cracks in the forest duff among the roots of trees.”

Weinrich emphasized that care must be taken by harvesters, gently searching for the mushrooms with their fingers. If harvesting tools are used, they must be less than 18-inches long and a half-inch wide, similar to a weed popping tool.

Jean Nelson-Dean, public affairs officer for the Deschutes National Forest, explained that the season began on Tuesday, Sept. 8 and will end on Nov. 8. “Four national forests in Oregon — the Deschutes, Fremont-Winema, Umpqua, and the Willamette — are included in this season for the taking of the matsutake mushroom,” she said.

“Permits cost $200 for the 62-day season or $100 for a consecutive 31-day, half-season permit,” noted Nelson-Dean. “An $8 per day, three-day minimum, permit can also be bought that does not require picking days to be consecutive.”

California to British Columbia.

conditions and early frosts. “In the last week when it was dry, it was harder to find them,” he noted. “But with some wetting, and cooler, but not frost weather, we should be seeing more mushrooms.”

To find mushrooms, Weinrich explained that matsutakes tend to grow concealed under duff, the dead plant material on the forest floor of coniferous forests from Northern

Weinrich cautions harvesters to always cover the hole in the duff made during harvest in order to preserve the mycelium that will produce next year’s crop. “No raking or ground disturbance is allowed for harvesting of matsutake mushrooms,” he added.

For eating, Nelson-Dean suggested an even simpler recipe for enjoying the seasonal treat. “A popular way to make them is to broil them for a few minutes on each side and add a bit of rice wine vinegar or soy sauce either before or after broiling,” she noted.

ell, it’s that time of year; the kids are back in school, the leaves are changing color, and there’s a pleasant nip in the air signaling that indeed fall has arrived.

For many, this means it’s time to hang up your hiking boots and dust off your ski gear. But wait, not so fast! Now that the crowds are gone, it’s the perfect time for a last-minute climb to one of the area’s highest peaks.

Oregon’s third-highest peak draws crowds from all over the world, and from the top, it’s easy to tell why: On a clear day the views are unbeatable, you can see half the state.

Though the climb isn’t technical, it is difficult. It’s more than 11 miles round trip, and about 5,000 feet of elevation gain. You can access the trail from Devils Lake Trailhead, which is off the Cascades Lakes Highway, approximately 27 miles from Bend, and seven miles from the Mt. Bachelor turnoff.

Diamond Peak Set slightly farther west than the other mountains in the Cascades, carved by glaciers, and pinnacles by lava peaks, Diamond Peak is well worth the climb. Although there are several ways up the mountain, the shortest is along the south ridge. It’s about a 12-mile climb round trip, and just under 4,000 feet of elevation gain. To get there, just east of Oakridge on Hwy 58, turn south at the sign for Hills Creek Dam and bear right onto Road 21, which you will follow for about 30 miles. Just beyond Indigo Springs Campground, turn left on Pioneer Gulch Road 2149, then right on Rockpile Road 2160, and head to the Rockpile Trail to start the hike.

Broken Top This climb won’t quite get you to the top of the mountain, but instead to a beautiful turquoise pool in the midst of the crater, with views of all three Sisters. The hike is roughly 14 miles round trip and about 2,500 feet of elevation gain. Although there are shorter ways up the mountain that require a four-wheel drive vehicle with significant clearance—the road is not for the faint of heart—the easiest way to hit the trailhead is to turn right at the sign for Todd Lake, off the Cascade Lakes Highway, just past the Mt. Bachelor ski area, and take the trail from the parking lot.

A word of caution: When planning any high-elevation hiking, but particularly at this time of year, you must watch the weather forecast carefully, and only attempt to hike in good conditions. No matter what the forecast, always be prepared with layers of appropriate clothing (hopefully it goes without saying that cotton is a no-no), plenty of water and food, and a map and compass or GPS. The weather can change very quickly at elevation, and what you thought might be a hike in 70-degree weather can end as a trudge through snow and blowing wind. That being said, there’s still time to take advantage of these high-elevation adventures, so have fun, but be careful out there!

verest has a disaster picture vibe along the lines of the old Irwin Allen flicks like The Poseidon Adventure. The main difference is that the story being told in Everest is true and that the lives lost were gone forever, not just off of the call sheet for the rest of filming. The film plays closer to movies like A Perfect Storm and Alive than The Towering Inferno, although with less melodrama than the other flicks combined.

Everest tells several stories at once, with the most time spent on that of Rob Hall (played by the always solid Jason Clarke), the famed Mount Everest guide and his agency, Adventure Consultants, as they take a group up in hopes to summit the behemoth.

A deep bench of actors filled with the likes of John Hawkes, Josh Brolin, Naoko Mori, and Michael Kelly (as Jon Krakauer) are just a few of the people heading up the mountain for the doomed summit attempt.

Director Baltasar Kormákur does a surprisingly good job with the material. He previously helmed the decent Contraband and the almost decent 2 Guns, but with Everest he almost starts approaching subtlety. While the vistas and mountain climbing sequences in the film are breathtaking in 3-D IMAX, none of it would work without a deft hand with the characters and action.

When things start going badly in adventure films, most filmmakers tend to over-do just about everything. The music gets louder and more dramatic, the performances become bombastic and maudlin, and the camera starts operatically sweeping through everything like a TMZ reporter searching for tears. Kormákur stages everything, while not perfectly, with enough subtlety to keep the film feeling unsentimental and factual.

frailty instead of script contrivances to keep the film moving along. Jon Krakauer does not come across very well in this, but in some ways, not many of the people do.

The script and finished film does not lionize any of these men.

Some of the men (and women) died because of mistakes they made and some died because they were trying to save the people who made the mistakes. The film treats the dead as victims of a massive and implacable lethality that trying to climb a mountain inherently brings. Climbing Everest was a thing that these people felt that they HAD to do, not just wanted to do, and the senselessness of their deaths is shown in the faces of the friends and family left behind. The film is nonjudgmental in some respects, but only in the silent and haunting photography of the deaths are we allowed as viewers to make up our own minds about these people.

Everest is not perfect. There are too many characters to focus on sometimes, and character motivations are cloudy, while the script leans heavily on cliché when some proper simplicity would do. Also, the film is only showing in 3D IMAX, so if that isn’t your bag then waiting for video (or for Regal to put it into a 2D auditorium) might be the only way to catch it. But the 3D is grand and impressive, making it worth the extra shekels. It is a solid film, intense and harrowing, making the whole experience look miserable, but the questions it raises about man’s ambitions to climb a mountain just because it’s there are somewhat more interesting than the film itself.

It’s obvious where Kormákur and writers Simon Beaufoy (127 Hours) and William Nicholson (Unbroken) land on the events of that day. All of these real people are shown to be painfully human, whose mistakes and triumphs come out of strength and

ADVICE GODDESS Do I Look Infatuated In This?

—Speedy Ah, yes…your love is like a summer’s day—if a summer’s day chased its lemonade with two Red Bulls and a five-shot latte.

It’s easy for you to assume you’re in your right mind, just because you haven’t started throwing peanuts at people in the park while debating abortion with a squirrel.

But there are three stages of love: the “falling in it” stage, the “figuring out how it’ll work” stage, and finally, the “you’re the one!” commitment stage. You’re in the starting days of the “falling in it” stage—getting hit by rushing hormones and neurotransmitters—which is to say that you’re chemically dazed. Which is to say that making any sort of decision about what you two have is like getting really high and going off to sign papers for a bank loan.

In fact, according to research by psychiatry professor Donatella Marazziti, it’s likely that right now, you and this guy are each chemically different people—and thus behaviorally different people—than you will be once the chemical storm dies down. Marazziti found significant shifts in testosterone levels in both men and women who’d recently fallen in love.

Compared with single people and people who’d been in relationships awhile, women newly in love had elevated testosterone, likely making them more sexually tigress-y, while the T levels of men newly in love dropped, likely making them more gooey and emotional—to the point where even a Navy SEAL might start sounding like a Valentine’s Day card.

How long the biochemical inebriation lasts varies, but Marazziti’s research suggests that couples are pretty much out of the falling in love daze a year to two years later. It’s only then—once you sober up— that you find out what you actually have together.

The kind of love that sticks around is not just a feeling but a feeling that inspires loving action. As novelist Marlon James, quoting a former lover, put it: “Love isn’t saying ‘I love you’ but calling to say, ‘Did you eat?’” Love that lasts should also inspire a sort of loving inaction—loving the person enough that you don’t hate them

Growing Mold Together I’m a 70-year-old man, and my wife is 68. I suffer from ED, and we both seem to have lost our sex drive.

Don’t get me wrong; we are still very loving and affectionate with each other. We just don’t have sex. Is this a problem I should be addressing or just a side effect of aging? My male ego keeps telling me that I should still be a horndog.

—Older Dude No need to pull out the hose if there’s no fire.

So, on date night, you have a romantic dinner (early-bird special!) and then retire to bed for some rough hugging. Assuming your ED doesn’t stem from some more serious medical condition, the only thing that’s wrong with you is your thinking that something’s wrong with you.

Okay, your sexparts aren’t as perky as they were back when Warren G. Harding (or whoever!) was president. Would you deem yourself less manly if you got osteoarthritis in your elbow? Probably not.

But predictably, your elbow has probably stopped working as well as it did when you were 22—just like Mr. Winky Senior.

The reality is there’s much more to physical intimacy than being all Vlad the Impaler—a point sex therapist Dr. Marty Klein makes in his book Sexual Intelligence. Touch and affection are essential, and you have those. So instead of lamenting what you don’t have, focus on what you do. You might also consider that your level of manliness is reflected in your character—what you do when the chips are down—not by how, lately, your favorite thing to do in bed is sleep through the night without getting awakened by the twins: your bladder and your prostate.

VOLUME 19 ISSUE 39 / September 24, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Is there anything inherently bad about getting into a serious relationship quickly? I met this guy about a month ago. We hit it off instantly, became boyfriend and girlfriend two weeks later, and have been dropping I-love-yous. It all feels pretty great; I don’t have a history of poor relationship judgment; and I wasn’t desperate or even looking for a new partner. However, popular opinion seems to run against getting involved so fast. Your thoughts?

for all the ways they turn out to be a total idiot: how they can’t seem to understand that pee goes in the big white porcelain thing, not on the floor; that those gross phlegm-clearing sounds are not a mating call; and that socks left on the bedroom rug will not grow tiny legs, crawl up the hamper, and fling themselves in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth,” wrote author William Faulkner. Some astrologers would say that it’s unlikely a Libra would ever say such a thing—that it’s too primal a feeling for your refined, dignified tribe; too lush and unruly. But I disagree with that view. Faulkner himself was a Libra! And I am quite sure that you are now or will soon be like a wet seed in the hot blind earth—fierce to sprout and grow with almost feral abandon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You and I both know that you can heal the sick and raise the dead and turn water into wine—or at least perform the metaphorical equivalent of those magical acts. Especially when the pressure is on, you have the power to attract the help of mysterious forces and unexpected interventions. I love that about you! When people around you are rendered fuzzy and inert by life’s puzzling riddles, you are often the best hope for activating constructive responses. According to my analysis of upcoming cosmic trends, these skills will be in high demand during the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some astrologers regard the planet Saturn as a sour tyrant that cramps our style and squelches our freedom. But here’s my hypothesis: Behind Saturn’s austere mask is a benevolent teacher and guide. She pressures us to focus and concentrate. She pushes us to harness and discipline our unique gifts. It’s true that some people resist these cosmic nudges.

They prefer to meander all over the place, trying out roles they’re not suited for and indulging in the perverse luxury of neglecting their deepest desires. For them Saturn seems like a dour taskmaster, spoiling their lazy fun. I trust that you Sagittarians will develop a dynamic relationship with Saturn as she cruises through your sign for the next 26 months. With her help, you can deepen your devotion to your life’s most crucial goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming

weeks will be a favorable time to break a spell you’ve been under, or shatter an illusion you have been caught up in, or burst free from a trance you have felt powerless to escape. If you are moved to seek help from a shaman, witch, or therapist, please do so. But I bet you could accomplish the feat all by yourself. Trust your hunches! Here’s one approach you could try: Tap into both your primal anger and your primal joy. In your mind’s eye, envision situations that tempt you to hate life and envision situations that inspire you love life. With this volatile blend as your fuel, you can explode the hold of the spell, illusion, or trance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.” So advised author Ray Bradbury.

That strategy is too nerve-wracking for a cautious person like me. I prefer to meticulously build and thoroughly test my wings before trying a quantum leap. But I have observed that Aquarius is one of the three signs of the zodiac most likely to succeed with this approach. And according to my astrological calculations, the coming weeks will be a time when your talent for building robust wings in mid-air will be even more effective than usual.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are being

SAT

tempted to make deeper commitments and to give more of yourself. Should you? Is it in your interests to mingle your destiny more thoroughly with the destinies of others? Will you benefit from trying to cultivate more engaged forms of intimacy? As is true for most big questions, there are no neat, simple answers. Exploring stronger connections would ultimately be both messy and rewarding. Here’s an inquiry that might bring clarity as you ponder the possibility of merging your fortunes more closely with allies or potential allies: Will deeper commitments with them inspire you to love yourself dearly, treat yourself with impeccable kindness, and be a superb ally to yourself?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are destined to become a master of fire. It’s your birthright to become skilled in the arts of kindling and

warming and illuminating and energizing. Eventually you will develop a fine knack for knowing when it’s appropriate to turn the heat up high, and when it’s right to simmer with a slow, steady glow. You will wield your flames with discernment and compassion, rarely or never with prideful rage. You will have a special power to accomplish creative destruction and avoid harmful destruction. I’m pleased at the progress you are making toward these noble goals, but there’s room for improvement. During the next eight weeks, you can speed up your evolution.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus-born physicist Wolfgang Pauli won a Nobel Prize for his research. His accomplishment? The Nobel Committee said he discovered “a new law of nature,” and named it after him: the Pauli Principle. And yet when he was a younger man, he testified, “Physics is much too difficult for me and I wish I were a film comedian or something like that and that I had never heard anything about physics!”

I imagine you might now be feeling a comparable frustration about something for which you have substantial potential, Taurus. In the spirit of Pauli’s perseverance, I urge you to keep at it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1921, the French city of Biarritz hosted an international kissing contest. After evaluating the participants’ efforts, the panel of judges declared that Spanish kisses were “vampiric,” while those of Italians were “burning,” English were “tepid,” Russians were “eruptive,” French were “chaste,” and Americans were “flaccid.”

Whatever nationality you are, Gemini, I hope you will eschew those paradigms— and all other paradigms, as well. Now is an excellent time to experiment with and hone your own unique style of kissing. I’m tempted to suggest that you raise your levels of tenderness and wildness, but I’d rather you ignore all advice and trust your intuition.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The astrological omens suggest you could get caught up in dreaming about what might have been. I’m afraid you might cling to outworn traditions and resuscitate wistful wishes that have little relevance for the future. You may even be tempted to wander through the labyrinth of your memories, hoping to steep yourself in old feelings that weren’t even good medicine for you when you first experienced them. But I hope you will override these inclinations, and instead act on the aphorism, “If you don’t study the past, you will probably repeat it.” Right now, the best reason to remember the old days is to rebel against them and prevent them from draining your energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may laugh more in the next fourteen days than you have during any comparable fourteen-day period since you were five years old. At least I hope you will. It will be the best possible tonic for your physical and mental health. Even more than usual, laughter has the power to heal your wounds, alert you to secrets hiding in plain sight, and awaken your dormant potentials. Luckily, I suspect that life will conspire to bring about this happy development. A steady stream of antics and whimsies and amusing paradoxes is headed your way. Be alert for the opportunities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s a favorable time to fantasize about how to suck more cash into your life. You have entered a phase when economic mojo is easier to conjure than usual. Are you ready to engage in some practical measures to take advantage of the cosmic trend?

And by that I don’t mean playing the lottery or stealing strangers’ wallets or scanning the sidewalk for fallen money as you stroll. Get intensely real and serious about enhancing your financial fortunes. What are three specific ways you’re ignorant about getting and handling money?

Educate yourself.

Tips for buying a great rental property

By Kayja Buhmann

Buy below market value. This sounds easy, but it usually isn’t. The days of having bunches of bank-owned homes to choose from are gone, and that means buyers need to be patient, well connected, and probably willing to get their hands dirty. Patience is a virtue that will come in handy not only while you wait for a good deal to hit the market, but also when you have trouble making a deal come together.

Buy a well-built house. Sometimes saving a few thousand dollars on the purchase price isn’t worth the pain and suffering that could come later with a poorly built house. Find out who built the house you want to make an offer on.

If the seller doesn’t know, you should be able to find it in county records on a site like Deschutes County DIAL. Do you already have an opinion about the builder? If not, your real estate agent probably does or at least knows someone who does. If the builder passes the sniff test then put the house through the wringer and get a professional home inspection.

Don’t be cheap here, because there is too much money at stake to not know up front what issues the house might have.

There is no such thing as a “sure thing” in real estate, but if you follow these tips then you can say: 1) You bought at a discount, which means you made money on the house the day it became yours. 2) You bought in a desirable location, which makes it more likely the value of the property will go up between the time you bought it and the time you sell it. 3) You bought a home that was well built so you didn’t have to spend every penny of cash flow on repairs.

Buy in a desirable location. While you are being patient, use that time to check out neighborhoods that you might have overlooked. Midtown Bend is booming now, and Redmond has a great market for investment homes. Purposefully buying a rental property in a desirable location doesn’t just improve the odds that it will rent quickly, it also improves the odds that it will stay rented. With Bend’s

Finding a great rental property to buy isn’t rocket science, but it shouldn’t be taken lightly either. There are a lot of factors that can come together to create a snowball effect, which determines whether or not you make money on your investment. Here are a few tips to keep that snowball from running you over and emptying your wallet. There is a saying in real estate circles that goes: “You don’t make money when you sell a home, you make money when you buy it.” Since it is unlikely that you will find yourself owning a rental property without first buying it, this is a great mantra to adopt.

City’s new committee begins drafting regulations for cannabis businesses

By Steve Holmes

T

he City of Bend has appointed a 10-member Marijuana Technical Advisory Committee to guide it in adding a third, local layer of regulation of Oregon’s new cannabis businesses. The City describes its pending regulations as “reasonable time, place, and manner regulations” and hopes to have them in place by Jan. 1 2016. The Committee will meet several times over the next few months (details are available on the City’s website), and its task, as Council Member Victor Chudowsky put it in addressing committee members at the inaugural meeting on Sept. 17, is “to help us figure out what legalized cannabis in Bend should look like.”

The City’s regulations will include a new chapter of the City’s Development Code and a new licensing regime on top of the licenses already required for cannabis businesses by the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC). The rules in the Development Code will, according to City Attorney Mary Winters, address issues such as where businesses can locate when doing production (growing), processing, wholesale and retail sales, and laboratory analysis of cannabis samples. The regulations will also impose a minimum distance between cannabis retail stores, something the City has made no attempt to do with breweries or bars.

The City’s cannabis business licensing rules, like those of other state authorities, will address operational aspects of the businesses. For retail stores, according to Winters, this will mean rules for operating hours, display of

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

OC TO B E R 1 s t 2 1 + y e a r s o l d / d r i e d fl o w e r & c l o n e s

free joint to the

products, disposal of remnants, and similar matters. The license will need to be renewed annually. And of course, these City requirements will be in addition to the general City law that all businesses obtain and display a City business license.

The OLCC will eventually have complete statewide regulatory authority over adult-use cannabis businesses, and the OLCC is not expected to release its much-anticipated draft regulations until the second week in November. Those regulations are expected to address things such as store operating hours and co-location of different business processes (e.g., growing or processing at the same site as retail sales), so the City Committee may have a difficult task of not creating duplicative or conflicting rules.

At last Thursday’s meeting, City representatives stated that they wanted to craft “balanced” regulations, but the City seems to be attempting to regulate anything left out of the forthcoming OLCC regulations. Fortunately, the Committee seems to include a broad set of perspectives, so it seems likely that both the needs and potential impacts of cannabis businesses will be considered in the Committee’s deliberations. Nevertheless, I have a hunch that cannabis stores in Bend will not be allowed to stay open as late as the bars.
