TROY FIELD IS FOR THE PEOPLE (DEC.9) Troy Field is a community resource to serve all the community not just the privileged few who want to privatize our commons for their profit.

Common areas open to all is a fundamental to democracy. We are fortunate to have two common democratic spaces in downtown Bend: Troy Field and the Bend Public Library.

The claim that the Bend School District needs to sell Troy field, our resource, is simply an attempt to justify austerity for citizens and enrichment for the wealthy. Much more politically expedient than taxing the rich, of course.

Did anyone consider using Troy Field for affordable housing or building a shelter with toilets and water for the homeless or a tent city for the homeless? Any community that can afford a triple by-pass (twice!) on the river and an ice skating rink for the privileged can certainly afford to fund public education.What next…privatize the schools and library? Austerity and privatization to enrich the wealthy?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR—QUESTIONS REGARDING THE NEW WHITEWATER PARK Just picked a copy of the Park and Rec “Playbook” and flipped to the “Whitewater Park” section. The FAQs remind me of that typical political ploy where a plant in the audience tosses up softball/cupcake questions… “Madam candidate, what is your position on puppies and kittens?”

The question, “Why are there rapids in the passageway channel?” should read, “Why the hell are there rocks in the channel formerly known as the ‘safe passage channel’?” And when was this “fish ladder” function added? What self-respecting fish needs a ladder to gain about 15ft. elevation over the length of a football field? And when did this project morph into the exclusive playground

The Smoke Signals column of January 7, 2016

by Steve Holmes provided refreshing insight.

As an active participant in the Bend Parks and Recreation District (BPRD) legislative process beginning in 2011, the term Canna-phobic was spot-on. Multiple BPRD Boards and Media Organizations have ignored my public input and ideas regarding Mirror Pond, OSU-Cascades, the Simpson Pavilion, wildlife management and alternative Recreation. Is it because of cannabis use, religious orientation (Jewish) or representation of a minority viewpoint? BPRD did gas 109 Geese in 2010. Any which way, my Public Record proves the statement; Horton ignored a Who! Discrimination takes many forms.

of kayakers? Last time I looked, warm weather brings out ten times as many people on tubes and standup paddle boards as kayaks.

Here’s my take away on this (and if I’m wrong, I apologize), under the current plan, floaters and standup paddlers will still have to use that narrow, jammed with people take out upstream of the bridge (complete with submerged ankle-busters) and lug their gear even farther downstream to clear the park – or – if you’re on a tube, risk a bruised tailbone, if you’re on an SUP, risk a snapped fin and a header into a rock… great idea!

How about this, why not split that channel in half with a line of rope buoys. Take out the rocks on the shore side so floaters and paddlers can navigate safely. Leave the rocks on the other side for kayaks and fish that prefer climbing ladders.

IN REPLY TO MARILYN AND WILLIAM LETTERS (1/6) I am not exactly sure which remark you felt was racist, please expound upon this. The only letter I wrote around 12/24/15 was in response to “affordable housing,” there was no mention of keeping certain races out of Bend and in fact, the only comment(s) reflecting race were “Bend’s population is mostly white affluent people.” This statement is not racist, just factual, look up Bend’s demographics.

IN REPLY TO EMILY WOODWORTH’S RESPONSE TO “TOP THEATRE PERFORMANCES IN 2015” (12/30) I appreciate the Source and Emily Woodworth for publishing a letter regarding a “featured article” that certainly needed to be addressed. The community is better served when everyone is fairly covered without bias. Kudos to the Source Weekly and Emily for noting the rather large exclusions in the story. Excluding The Tower and VTP from the live theatre scene is much like excluding Deschutes and Boneyard from the brewery scene.

aspect can work. I don’t see Bend embracing that because it doesn’t generate enough money in fees.

Setting aside the writers’ intolerance for the ramifications of the First Amendment, a better example of irony would be hard to find.

—Carol Smith

To lodge a concern regarding a lack of cultural diversity in Bend in a publication packed full of so many diverse events is completely at odds with reality. Bend has a broad range of cultural forms from which to peruse; we do a lot with what we have. Our ethnicity is largely Caucasian but our culture reflects a much larger picture and is very inclusive and tolerant.

People should not equate a dearth of large concentrations of ethnic populations in Bend with a lack of cultural diversity. Furthermore, I would ask if there is another community in Oregon the size of Bend that is more culturally diverse. Food for thought.

Kinda tacky how the author uses carefully selected relative reasoning to attempt to lighten or justify the art of burlesque. Is that really necessary? I had to devote myself to reading the entire article just so I could see WTH it was really about. A performance. Let’s stop pointing fingers and just report what is new.

There is a shortage of long term RV spaces in CO and especially in Bend. Monthly rates keep rising and, to add insult to injury, there’s now a 9 percent lodging tax even for long term space rental.

It’s like a double tax because the park owner is already paying property tax. In the summer some parks are charging $1200+ per month plus electric. Tiny homes won’t work in CO without major code changes. Last I heard Bend might embrace tiny home developments. I’m sure they will sell but it kind of misses the point of the movement.

If you really want to see tiny homes in Bend it will require major changes in political thinking and then complicated code changes so the movement

SLIPPER A Call For Piece

A

lthough Ammond Bundy claims that his armed occupation of a national wildlife refuge in Harney County has been in the works for decades, he doesn’t seem to be thinking too far ahead. There’s no way this ends well for the Bundy brothers and their militant movement to reclaim federal lands and return them to the people.

But there is a best-case scenario. It’s the one where the militants set their sights on an achievable goal—like, say, bringing the concerns of rural Oregonians to the nation—and then return home, heads held high with the accomplishment of their (done and done) mission. In this scenario, they leave with enough dignity to spin a version of the story in which they emerge victorious, the government regains access to the land, and the people of Harney County get to go back to their regular lives.

Realistically, there’s nothing left for the militants to achieve. They got their message out—albeit with a heavy helping of overkill.

Tearing down a fence is not a victory if you’re doomed to lose the war, and they will lose the war. We’re aware of no precedent for an armed takeover of federal land leading to a change in land use policy favoring the occupier. The militants don’t even have public opinion on their side.

Whether the group leaves voluntarily or by force is, as of press time, still on the table. It’s an incredibly rare opportunity that the militants should take advantage of. As numerous commenters have pointed out, had the occupiers been black or Muslim, the response would have likely been much different.

The group has given some indication that their departure date is sooner than later.

According to the Oregonian, the militants are planning a public meeting for Friday at which they plan to disclose their departure plans. No word yet on how long that will be

or how much more specific it will be than previous claims to leave, eventually.

Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward recently told media that the militia’s time is running short. The window will close, and their options will dwindle. Although we hope that this window remains open as long as is feasible, we are also sympathetic to the locals and government employees living in fear under the shadow of the occupation.

But despite this fear and chaos, the people of Harney County by and large seem to know that violence is not the answer. Slow and steady is the safest bet, even if it costs more in the long run. No one wants a mass-casualty event, along the lines of confrontations like Waco or Ruby Ridge. As much as the “Bundy bunch,” as some have called them, may portray themselves as God-fearing family men who just want to make a living, groups members’ comments to the media give the impression they aspire to martyrdom.

As we consider the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this coming week, all involved in the situation at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge—the occupiers, law enforcement, detractors, and supporters—would do well to consider the delicate relationship between violence and justice. As Dr. King said, “Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

Though it’s a slow burn, the light of justice is the only way to deal with militancy, and it won’t be cheap, but that is the cost of a system where misplaced ideas like those being championed by the militants are encouraged by pandering politicians.

Trail Damage

SIDE NOTES

Forest Service and OSSA split costs

By Corinne Boyer

By Corinne Boyer 7

I

n the spring of 2014, the Central Oregon Snowbusters Club and the LaPine Lodgepole Dodgers Snowmobile Club began performing trail maintenance in the Deschutes National Forest in Bend. Thirty-one miles of trails were damaged near the Wanoga SnoPark, the Edison Sno-Park, and the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. District Ranger Kevin Larkin says a few months passed before the agency discovered the damage, including uprooted mature trees and trails cleared using heavy machinery, which would normally require a proposal to be approved by the U.S. Forest Service.

The work took place in the spring of 2014 and it wasn’t until midsummer that a Forest Service crew discovered the damage.

A member of the Central Oregon Snowbusters Club agreed to an interview, but later declined to speak on the record.

“We do not want to elaborate at all. This thing happened in 2014. It’s all been worked out with the Forest Service,” says Vera Riser, president of the Central Oregon Snowmobilers Club.

Phone calls to several members of the LaPine Lodgepole Dodgers were not immediately returned.

The damage, estimated at $200,000 by the U.S. Forest Service, is not the exact price tag placed on the cost of rehabilitating the forest, according to Ranger Larkin. “Some of that total includes pieces in a few cases that can’t be restored—the mature trees that were tipped over, those have value in each tree—and so we tallied that in and that’s included in that number, but it's not as if we can go and replace a mature tree as part of our rehabilitation.”

The U.S. Forest Service settled on a $70,000 cost, taking responsibility for miscommunication with the snowmobiler clubs. “Ulti-

mately we decided that we share some of that burden, so we’ve split the cost 50/50 with the Oregon State Snowmobile Association for the $70,000 of critical work that is necessary that is taking place,” says Larkin.

When volunteer groups receive permits to maintain trails, Larkin says routine upkeep includes things like using chainsaws and whoopers to remove downed logs and to cut back brush. “In some cases we will let them use machinery to cut back brush where the brush is growing into the trail more intensively than in other places,” he says.

Larkin notes that volunteers are crucial to the upkeep of trails. “This particular instance was just a small piece of a much, much larger program that we’ve had great success with,” he says. In 2015 slightly fewer than 2000 volunteers contributed a total of approximately 52,000 hours of work done on the behalf of the national forest.

“If the work that they are proposing goes beyond that scale of where heavier equipment would be needed, then we would go through a different evaluation process to make sure that everything matched up with resource protection goals and matched up with the goals for the trail and for the surrounding areas,” he says.

Another misstep with the snowmobile clubs occurred in the supervision process. “We had a system at the time in 2014 that had some loopholes in it—not by anybody’s fault, not by anybody’s inattention or malicious intent, those loopholes kind of came to bear and the clubs went forward thinking they had approval and we went forward thinking that they were intending something different,” Larkin says.

“What we concluded is that certainly the clubs bear some of the burden because they

did go outside of what was allowed in their volunteer agreements in their permits,” he says. The Forest Service takes its share of the responsibility because it didn’t provide the level of oversight that would have prevented the damage. This was due to an intense fire season, when those responsible for oversight activities were out helping with the fire effort, he says.

A statement by the Oregon State Snowmobile Association said, “All trail maintenance and grooming activities provided by OSSA and member clubs are conducted through a valid permit signed by local Forest Service officials.

All of these volunteer efforts are intended solely to help address potential hazards to winter recreationalists that can hide dangers that, if not addressed, could potentially cause injury or death to unsuspecting trail users.”

The statement cites miscommunication between the Forest Service and the snowmobile clubs, and also states that some of the damage was “the result of natural forces.”

In the future, Larkin says systematic checks are in place to prevent this type of situation from happening again. “Now we have a much more consistent and thorough process whereby any work that’s outside that very basic brushing and regular trail maintenance needs to come to us in written form and it has to be reviewed at multiple levels,” he says. “Ultimately, I have to approve it in writing before that work can commence and that’s one of the steps that was missing,” he says.

Currently, Larkin says the Forest Service doesn’t have any maintenance projects underway. He says there is one permit that has been issued to the Central Oregon Trail Alliance to construct new mountain bike trails, but work is not scheduled to begin at this time due to a forest restoration project that will affect the same area.

Oregon Congressman Greg Walden, (R— Second District of Oregon) voted in favor of the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015 last week. The bill would cut STI testing, contraceptive funding, reproductive health checkups, and breast and cervical cancer screenings, according to a release issue by Planned Parenthood. More than 72,000 people utilize Planned Parenthood Services in 12 locations in Southwest Oregon for health screenings and basic reproductive healthcare. The bill would have prohibited abortion unless the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest or the health of the mother was at risk. President Obama vetoed the bill on Jan. 8. “More than half of the health centers are in rural or medically underserved areas, meaning that without Planned Parenthood, many patients would literally have nowhere else to turn,” according to the release.

Congressman Walden has a zero percent score on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s Congressional Scorecard.

Anarchy In Eastern Oregon - Don't Tread On Me Militia stand-off continues

By Brian Jennings, Sherron Lumley, and Corinne Boyer 9 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 02 / January 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Photos by Brian Jennings.

A

group of armed men occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge outside of Burns, Oregon, bears testimony to long-running anti-government sentiment held by its members. The militia, led by Ammon Bundy, called by turn domestic terrorists and patriots, declare they will stay for years if necessary, to win their demands.

The Source discovered another side to the story.

On Sunday, about a three-hour drive southeast from Bend, the compound set up by the militia at the Fish and Wildlife headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was surprisingly quiet. It was possible to wander around without supervision and nobody seemed to mind.

On closer inspection, as it turns out, the militia took the day off, apparently to go into Burns for church. This didn’t make headline news.

Clearly, storming the empty center and recapturing the headquarters is not part of any plan to end the standoff. Local officials said they are taking orders from higher up and are not permitted to act.

It appears the government is waiting out the militia, pointedly avoiding a confrontation that could be deadly to the women and children camping there with them. However, some escalation began on Monday, when the militia tore down a government fence, indicating the group is ready to see results.

Origins of the standoff Ammon Bundy, and his brother Ryan Bundy, joined others in support of two

Oregon ranchers sentenced to prison.

Father and son Dwight Hammond, 73, and Steve Hammond, 46, of Harney County, are each serving five years in prison for arson for setting backburns on federal land adjacent to their property.

Although both men had already served the sentences they initially received, in October 2015, the Capital Press report-

Oregon Farm Bureau gathered more than 2,000 signatures on a petition for leniency for the Hammonds. Further, the Oregon Cattleman’s Association established a fund to help with the Hammonds' legal fees. The Bundys were among thousands of supporters.

At Bundy’s first press conference, which

ed a Eugene judge resentenced them to return to prison to serve the minimum five years of the anti-terrorism law used to convict them.

Original sentencing by U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan, now retired, found that a five-year term would amount to cruel and unusual punishment and was “grossly disproportionate to the severity of the offenses here.” The

he called on January 3, he not only demanded the release of the Hammonds, but also explained the group’s motives included getting the county economically revived - through logging. This might seem like a head-spinner, but protection of the spotted owl brought what felt like government oppression to many Oregon timber towns in the last few decades.

Twenty-five years ago, the mills hummed

night and day in Oregon, when the U.S. government was still in the business of selling Douglas Fir by the board foot.

The endangered spotted owl and the Clinton Administration's Northwest Forest Plan resulted in economic death for many Oregon timber towns, still struggling today with poverty and unemployment.

At this writing, no charges have been filed. Nonetheless, what began as a peaceful protest in a Safeway parking lot, may now present an interesting legal case. In 2015, Ammon Bundy founded a group called the Harney County “Committee of Safety,” a term with roots in the American Revolution. The Committee of Safety presented the Harney County Board of Commissioners and Sheriff with a Redress of Grievance on Jan. 8, 2016. However, within 48 hours, the Burns group unanimously decided to split with its founder and publicly asked him and the other occupants to go home.

Home for Bundy is Nevada, where his first armed standoff occurred in 2014, following a 20-year dispute between the Bundy family and the Bureau of Land Management. Whether Bundy and his supporters will respect the wishes of the local residents of Burns and leave, will unfold in the coming days, weeks or months.

The Burns-Hines Schools are now open, according to the Harney County Sheriff's Twitter account. The schools reopened after an extended closure to ensure students’ and staff safety under the guidance of Harney County School District Superintendent Dr. Marilyn McBride.

Whether or not Bundy and the militia will be charged with any crime, Harney County Judge Steve Grasty plans to fine Bundy $75,000 for every day of the occupation, he says.

In an article penned for the Atlantic Monthly in 1910, photographer William Finley wrote of the abundance of waterfowl in the area. “We found the biggest colony of gulls and white pelicans I have ever seen.” He continued, “I have seen big bird colonies before, but never one like this.” He documented that he was so excited that he tripped over the oars in his boat and fell overboard, photographic plates in hand.

Long before Oregon was even a state, in 1826, French-Canadian fur trapper Peter Skene Ogden led a large expedition into the Malheur - Harney Basin area in search of fur-bearing animals. Although they did not find an abundance of beaver and other fur-bearers, Ogden did note that the lake was about a mile wide and nine miles long and contained “fowl in abundance.” As with bison, by the late 1880s hunters were decimating North American bird populations in pursuit of feathers for the fashionable hat industry.

The Harney Basin, where the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is located, was no exception, where white herons were killed to near extinction.

More than 100 species including waterfowl, shorebirds, cranes, raptors, songbirds, and others can be seen during the Harney County Migratory Bird Festival each spring. Only time will tell if the militia will still be there come April, in what would be the festivals 35th year.

Priestess SOUND Performing SUGGESTS Esmé Patterson mystifies with new sounds, new life

By Jared Rasic

By Russ Axon 13

Luckily, we’re able to talk before any needles actually come out, and Patterson’s restless and odd nature quickly shine through. The musician relocated from Denver to Portland last year; she’s gradually transitioned from Americana-sweetheart to indie-rock iconoclast; and she’s a self-described “priestess” when she performs.

ment to create really positive music, which I thought was kind of revolutionary and interesting at the time because all the ‘cool’ music that my friends were making was really dark and sad,” Patterson says. “I thought there was something kind of exciting and very different about making unabashedly positive music.”

Her excitement slowly started to fade, though, as the band moved toward an indie-pop sound. Patterson’s focus gradually

if it’s a positive, it’s still objectification—so rarely do they have their own feelings and their own thoughts,” she says. “I was really just trying to tell these stories, and I didn’t really have any intention or goal behind it. It’s been a really cool experience hearing everybody’s reactions to it, people’s feelings about it, and what it meant to them.”

With both parties realizing that they were headed in separate directions, Patterson amicably left Paper Birds last year, after eight years with the band. It’s been different in the best way.

“I’m playing guitar, and I didn’t play guitar in Paper Bird, which I love playing electric guitar.

It makes me so freaking happy,” she says. “I can just be myself, write about what I want to write about [whether] it’s very sexual or very violent or very intense or very mystical, something like that. I’m the only person that’s responsible.

Which is terrifying also, but also very freeing.”

“I think music really is a sacred space,” Patterson says. “I feel like I’m a priestess in a way where I’m just making space for people to have transcendent experiences that really don’t have anything to do with me. I’m just there, I’m holding this space and allowing people to feel something together that means whatever it means to them. I take that position very seriously.

And of course, it’s really, really fun for me, too.

I get a lot out of it. For me, it’s a kind of mystical experience.”

Patterson is also enjoying the West Coast atmosphere—“You can be as weird as you want to be [in Portland], and you’re not going to be the weirdest one, which is great.”—and feels welcomed and challenged by the music scene. All of these experiences informed her untitled new album, which she’ll release this spring.

Bendites can catch Patterson’s sonic magic at Crow’s Feet Commons Friday night. She’s “We’re in the mixing performing for the Mt. stage right now, which is Bachelor Apres Ski really exciting,” she says.

The Corrupt, The Honest and The Heroic The Devil Makes Three is here

by Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / January 14, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

he Devil Makes Three is an interesting contradiction in sound and style.

The band’s punk roots and upbringing, combined with an old school ragtime sound, saturated in a roughneck bluegrass ambiance, gives DM3 a sonic soundscape very different from bands with their toes in similar waters.

Pete Bernhard (guitar, vocals) Lucia Turino (upright bass, vocals) and Cooper McBean (guitar, tenor banjo) are all so gifted that their live shows effortlessly glide between crowd-pleasing, old-time deep mountain bluegrass and an anarchic spirit where anything could happen.

The Devil Makes Three plays a wide variety of music for a demographic that is always adjusting, changing and growing, but to think that the heartbreak tunes and old-time country sound is all they have on their mind would be a mistake. Bernhard has a lot on his mind, spilling into the band’s lyrics. When I asked him what someone who had never heard the band before could expect from a Devil Makes Three show, his answer was so brilliantly worded and downright beautiful, it changed how I viewed the band almost instantly.

According to Bernhard, The Devil Makes Three formed in 2002 in Santa Cruz, California, right after they recorded their self-titled album. “We migrated westward like slow confused birds after we got out of high school,” says Bernhard, adding, “we are all originally from southern Vermont.”

Their latest release, I’m a Stranger Here, takes that ragtime sound even further with some of their smokiest and booze-drenched lyrics combining flawlessly with their gorgeous harmonies and broken down yet hopeful bluesy vibe. Although the album has a few barnburners, it is most definitely a heartbreak album, focused on the ones that got away and the ones that stayed with no recipe for happiness other than substance abuse and music.

Their many influences are evident over every track, which is a huge reason why they are so hard to classify or put in a box. “To be totally honest with you,” says Bernhard, “we barely draw from the bluegrass tradition at all.

Anyone who plays bluegrass would tell you we are not a bluegrass band. The closest we come to bluegrass is being inspired by the great Doc Watson.” Bernhard says that the band’s influences fall under the headings of blues, old rock

Music fans will get an earful when The Devil Makes Three plays the Midtown Saturday.

and roll, country or old time music. “We play the same instruments as a bluegrass band but we're inspired by different sounds,” he says.

Watching their stripped down Salt Stage Sessions, it is amazing to see a band transition so easily from the huge whiskey fueled stage shows to something more intimate and focused. Those sessions show a band ready for anything as long as they can stay true to the

roots that inspire them. According to Bernhard, they don’t really have a preference as to what style of show it is. “Both are great in their own way,” Bernhard says. “We like small shows and playing acoustic but we also enjoy a big theater filled with screaming people. As long as we still get to do both, we will remain the happy, semi-well adjusted, not-so-young people that we currently are,” he says.

Bernhard said, “They can expect upbeat songs that sound happy and fun but if they listen more closely they may hear in the lyrics that capitalism no longer functions as a way of life on the planet Earth. They may also hear that if we don’t find a solution we will destroy the planet and therefore ourselves as a species.

They can expect to hear a little about how when the environment can no longer sustain future generations the idea of making money will seem pretty worthless. They may hear mention of the fact that the wealthiest one percent of the population in these United States possess 40 percent of the wealth and that the bottom 80 percent own seven percent. They can expect to dance, they can expect to sing, they can expect to have a drink poured on them by a smiling, inebriated local.

They can expect the oceans to rise and the heavens to crack open. The corrupt fear us.

The honest support us. The heroic join us.”

What could anyone possibly add to that?

Solar Practice focuses on trust and involves partner practice. This element is centered on strength and may include inversions with spotting and acrobatics with a partner. Teamwork is a primary focus of the Solar Acrobatic Practice and partners seek to support and coach one another, bringing out their own and each other’s strengths by working in unison.

During partner work, groups of three work together as a base, flyer and spotter. The base creates a solid foundation, the flyer practices trust, and the spotter ensures safety for all.

Ultimately, acroyoga is a communal affair. Partners are working together to bring out and enhance each other’s strengths.

Possibilities within yoga are broadened by the assistance of partners and individuals are encouraged to trust one another and to be sensitive and trustworthy themselves.

BALLET BAR-INSPIRED FITNESS Bar-inspired fitness classes have become increasingly popular in recent years, and Bend offers several options for those looking to try a ballet bar-style workout.

Most bar courses combine bar workouts and floor workouts, using the ballet bar to assist in both strength and flexibility exercises.

For those ready to take their yoga practice to a more vigorous place, acroyoga may be the answer.

Acroyoga is a dynamic form of yoga that incorporates acrobatic moves in a partnered yoga session. The practice is built on three primary pillars called Solar Acrobatic Practice, Lunar Healing Arts Practice and Yogic Practice.

One of the options for bar fitness in Bend is Barre3.

The Barre3 program is specifically focused on improving balance and supporting correct posture. The workout gets its inspiration from a melding of three forms of fitness— ballet bar, Pilates and yoga.

Those familiar with any or all of these disciplines will recognize components of the classes. Each exercise and stretch can be tied back to the common goal of balance. Exercises focus on lengthening and toning major muscle groups, and aim to provide a balanced full-body workout in each class. The motivation behind Barre3 is to focus on a holistical-

ly-balanced life. Balance is the center of the fitness routine, but the Barre3 concept also supports healthy nutrition and community building.

An Oregon-born company, Barre3 got its start in Portland, where founders Sadie and Chris Lincoln opened the flagship studio in 2008. Now, eight years later, there are over 100 studios throughout the US. If you’re thinking of trying a Barre3 course, but don’t have any experience yet, come as you are.

No experience is required and you can modify the workout to fit your skill level. Yoga-like attire is best and you can choose to participate barefoot or in socks. Registration and payment are easy online or through the Barre3 mobile app.

The Barre3 studio is located off Century near Good Life Brewery.

Barre3 also offers online workouts.

Those who choose online workouts can tailor their course length as well as what workout props they will use during their exercises.

IS YOUR BODY WEIGHING YOU DOWN? creased flexibility, improved metabolisms, and low injury rates.

The convenience factor is also a big selling point. Since speed is emphasized, most bodyweight workouts last around 30 minutes.

And because it is free of any burdensome equipment, it can be done almost anywhere—a gym, your house, the park, etc.—for almost no fee.

However, the key to a successful and productive bodyweight workout is proper technique.

That’s where trainers come into play. Although it’s easy to find plenty of bodyweight exercises on YouTube or Google, having a personal trainer or an exercise group provides focus and interaction lacking in the online world.

Bend has no shortage of trainers and gyms that offer bodyweight regimens, so even the exercise-averse have no excuse.

A recent fitness trend has been to forgo all this fancy equipment to utilize the one weight that everyone posses: the human body.

Bodyweight workouts utilize exercises that use your own body as a form of resistance, instead of external equipment such as weights and resistance bands.

Think of push-ups, crunches, squats, all the fun stuff you did in grade school gym. Most bodyweight workout focus on efficient, fast-paced exercises that combine cardio and strength. (If you’re doing it right, you won’t be moving at your grade school pace.) You’re directly working out your entire body, especially your core. A strong core can greatly improve posture, coordination and balance, as well as help you find those washboard abs you know are hidden somewhere around your belly. Studies show that bodyweight practitioners also benefit from in-

CLIMBING TO A BETTER YOU

Ph

People need to climb mountains.

Seriously. It’s some sort of primal human urge to want to get to the very top of something, no matter how high up it is. Real mountains, though, are best left to professionals, those individuals with ridiculously huge forearms who always seem to kick ass on that Ninja Warrior show. But amateurs can garner similar fitness benefits by conquering smaller, safer mountains at an indoor climbing gym.

Indoor climbing gyms provide a safe alternative to both actual mountains and stagnant fitness routines. Although it’s easy to think upper body strength is paramount, experienced climbers value technique and form over strength.

Climbing is often likened to a chess match where climbers must plan their ascent ahead of time, carefully selecting a path and patiently executing it. Studies show that this mental preparation can

improve cognitive thinking and combat depression. You can choose to free climb with no equipment to ascend smaller walls, or use harnesses to strategically climb 100-ft. walls. No climb is ever the same, so climbers aren’t repeating the same workout every time.

And make no mistake: it’s a workout for your entire body. A 2011 health review showed that regular climbers activate their arm, leg, back and core muscles, in addition to improving endurance and handgrip strength. Your arms and legs will feel sore for days after a solid two to three-hour session.

The difficulty levels, which range from 0 to 11 or higher, also offer a distinct way to track improvement. You can move at your own pace and comfort level.

Here in town, Bend Rock Gym offers a large facility perfect for climbers of all experience levels.

Classes are available for beginners, while competitions are held for pros. Anyone looking to try a rock climbing workout will find an encouraging community there.

he title, 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche should instantly let you know whether you’re a part of the target audience or not. If that title instantly makes you go, “Okay, that sounds like my cup of tea,” then read no more and just go to the play. If it makes you think, “Ehhh, that sounds inappropriate and downright offensive,” then skip it and maybe also calm down a little. The show has a lot more going for it than a delightful title and open minds will most certainly find something to enjoy.

Decidedly, 5 Lesbians is fringe theatre, but in a sophisticated way rather than a shocking one. The term fringe theatre is used for theatrical pieces providing and experience more experimental in terms of tone, style and subject matter, more so than a typical night out at a play. There are fringe festivals all over the world, celebrating theater that makes the audience experience the world just a bit differently.

This show has lofty goals set firmly inside a thick wall of parody, satire and audience participation. The comedy 5 Lesbians tells the story of the annual quiche breakfast of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein. The show is set in 1956, smack dab in the center of middle-America during the Red Scare, with a meeting of all

“widows” who have a deep and abiding love of all things quiche.

Our five lead characters are all initially broadly drawn: Wren Robin (a very funny Catherine Hahne) is the princess, Vern Schultz (a boisterously intense Melinda Jahn) is the tomboy, Ginny Cadbury (a perfect Stephanie Slade) is the wallflower, Lulie Stanwyck (a deranged and hilarious Nancy Scher) is the matron and Dale Prist (a subtle and excellent Shannyn Christensen) is the one with a dark past.

However, the five lesbians are not the only attendees of the breakfast, as every audience member is given a name tag and an honorary membership into the society. Regardless of gender, sexual preference or anything at all, everyone in the audience, for that one night, is an honorary lesbian.

The opening minutes are filled with jokes that would easily fill an episode of Saturday Night Live, but the show gains depth and darkness as it progresses. With all of the blood, horniness, eggs, lady kissing and clothes shedding one could expect from a show with this title, it will appeal to not only fans of wilder fare like Evil Dead: The Musical, but also more dramatic work like August: Osage County as well.

Underneath all of the broad humor and wacky characterization, there is a wonderfully upbeat story being told about never letting society tell you what is normal, no matter the time period. Director Scott Schultz found an excellent way to walk that fine line between camp and thematic weight. Schultz says, “It touches on the roles women have played historically and the oppression they have faced as a result of gender roles.” He adds, “The Red Scare was well known but no one knows about the Pink Scare that prosecuted innocent people simply because of their sexuality.”

5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche is very well-acted by the entire cast and directed with just the right touch of camp and drama. The piece leaves you with a smile on your face and a message in your heart. That might be nothing short of a minor miracle for a play about the end of the world and lesbianism in the 1950s.

1,2,3…a pop up ramen shop

By Laura Parker

F

riday night and New Year’s Day, Anna Witham stood in the kitchen of Palate, a coffee bar, and served up her gourmet bowl of ramen. The pop-up ramen shop ran for the weekend, opening up at 6 pm and running until 9 pm or until sold out. Already at 6 pm the coffee house was maxed out, with a line of curious ramen seekers out the door.

The 1,2,3 patrons were thrown out of their everyday routines and expectations, faced with having to make a decision about whether or not the ramen was worth the wait. Most people stayed put because something magical called to them.

FOOD & BEER EVENTS

The line moved up, the tables were served, and some ramen eaters stood in between tables or off to a corner, slurping on homemade broth, chewing and wiggling home-rolled noodles, and tasting the symphony of choices like citrus glazed pork, spicy mushrooms, or tea-braised duck; paired with options of six dancing condiments, such as pickled lime, fermented radish, peanuts, bean sprouts, nori

strips, and a sweet chili sauce.

Those who waited patiently were provided with an illustrated paper of instructions for folding a paper crane; the rest of the strangers and friends gathered to laugh, wonder, and slurp together. It was like a full ski lodge, a warm place with bowl of soup and a fire to warm your toes by.

The secret to the ramen success? A deep calling for true nourishment and heart.

Anna’s apprenticeship began 20 years ago in the kitchen of Devore’s, where she learned to cook the pre-prepared salads and wraps that help sustain the hungry people of Bend who want something fast, yet more wholesome than fast food. Anna spent a year in France, helping in the kitchen of her home stay and learning the subtleties of French cuisine.

When she became a mother, her desire to nourish her children’s health and her passion for cooking kept her up in the middle of the night studying recipes and perfecting delicate meats, sauces, fats, and fermented condi-

Like the ramen bowl, going from scratch broth to alchemized condiments, Anna starts every meal with the foundation of, the more local the better, and the closer to the earth the better for you.

The Root Cellar is Anna’s creation; it is the name of her catering/creating food with soul business. Since starting this endeavor a year ago, she has catered multiple weddings, one of which was in a treehouse forest, and she’s held various culturally thematic dinner events, including a night at the Grange Hall in Powell Butte, where she paired each course with a storyteller’s story. The themes of her dinners guide the eater to get caught up in a dream, and at the same time you find yourself feeling close to the earth and deeply connected to your community.

Anna’s goal is to bring the people back to balance between earth and spirit with her food, to show us that the things that are good for our bodies can be full of magic and delight.

t’s only natural, once temperatures dip below freezing and the sidewalks all ice over for three months, that a person’s mind turns toward darker, maltier, more robust beer.

(For those people of drinking age, that is.)

McMenamins Old St. Francis School, just outside downtown, is ready to oblige. The third annual High Gravity Extravaganza, a rare winter-season beer festival in Bend, is taking place this Saturday, offering a couple

dozen beers (and a few ciders, too) meant to offer you cold comfort. It’s a great chance not just to try a lot of complex, flavorful ales for cheap ($15 for ten taster-glass fills), but to see what the staffs at McMenamins’ other breweries in Oregon and Washington are cooking up without having to travel over the pass.

Show up between 1 and 4 p.m., and you’ll also get to chat with some of the brewers as you try their stuff. Music begins at 3 pm and the event runs until 10 pm.

SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS: Magnuson Strong Ale: Probably the best beer from the pub chain’s Thompson Brewery in Salem, Magnuson is a traditional strong pale ale that keeps the hops on the down-low and its powerful caramel-ish flavor front and center. Whoever created the term “winter warmer” was picturing something like this.

The Descendant: Deschutes Brewery’s contribution to the fest is a sour ale they’re calling a “younger sibling” of The Dissident, their Flanders-style brown ale last released in November. It uses the same recipe as The Dissident—oak casks, Oregon blackberries, the whole bit—but is fermented with Brettanomyces yeast, making this Deschutes’ first entirely Brett beer.

Edgefield Extra One Year: A barleywine hailing from the McMenamins Edgefield complex outside Portland, Extra is the sole barleywine of the show, a 10.7 percent alcohol by volume (ABV)- ale that overloads your taste buds with toffee, grain, and booze. This four-barrel batch has also been aged in whiskey barrels since 2014, intended to give it an even more complex flavor package.

Notorious Triple IPA (Boneyard): No explanation necessary.

MM: Homebrewers who take a kitchen-sink approach to their recipes will appreciate this beer, the 2,000th batch brewed at the Roseburg Station Pub & Brewery. Brewer Tom Johnson has crammed 20 different malts and 20 different hops into this reddish-brown ale, and Johnson reports that it’s got a full-bodied base of malt flavors and a heavy citrus/tropical kick from the hops. It’s like having every beer from Roseburg Station in one glass—whether that’s a good thing or not is a question we can only answer this weekend.

Winter among the “lower animals”

GO HERE

D

id ya’ ever stop to think…? Out there in that nice big woodpile you’re consuming this winter there are any number of insects, spiders and other six and eight-legged creatures sleeping away the winter. (What a rude awakening it must be when they suddenly find themselves in the consuming breath of the old wood stove!)

When you walk across the grass in your front yard, please don’t stomp your feet; there are hundreds of other creatures down there, sleeping away the winter. While out in the hayfields hundreds of ground squirrels are snoring away. (But not gophers, they’re food for the beautiful Rough-legged hawks that come down from the Arctic Circle to spend winter with us.)

In summer, there’s a very special bird we see on our forest roads that sleeps away winter: the Common poorwill, the smallest of the nightjars. If you were watching the road ahead of you on a night in summer, you may have seen its huge eyes shining back at you just before it flew up in front of you.

You could have mistaken the poorwill for another nightjar, our Common nighthawk, but poorwills are half their size. While “our” nighthawks at this moment are gobbling up nocturnal insects in Central and South America, the poorwills are actually still in North America, but sleeping it off in the southern parts of their range.

In 1948, Dr. Edmund Jaeger, a biology teacher from Riverside Junior College in California, was out birding with a group of students in nearby creek washes, when one of the group saw what appeared to be the back end of a nightjar protruding from the stream bank and roots of the willows and oaks.

Curious (as most teachers are), Jaeger took a closer look at the bird and noticed it

appeared to be dead, but when he and his students picked it up to examine it they noticed it was warm. Lo-and-behold, they became the first humans to report a bird going into a state of hibernation, but not the first to see it.

However, the Native American Hopi people were aware of the poorwill’s behavior long before anyone even dreamed of such things, as their name for this bird is, hölchko, which translates to, “The Sleeping One.” Even the great scientist and explorer, Meriweather Lewis didn’t catch on that poorwills hibernate when he and his side-kick, Lewis Clark found them in the torpid state while going through the Dakotas in 1804. They did mention them in their journals, but didn’t recognize them as something different from the whippoorwills of the East, or that they were hibernating.

Hibernation is the process that puts an animal into a deep sleep where breathing and heart rate slow down to a hairline between life and death. However, to hibernate, the animal going into that state must have a suitable layer of fat. The fat is metabolized to make food and (and water) for the animal’s s-l-o-w-l-y circulating blood.

The larger burrowing rodents we see running around Central Oregon in summer sleep all through winter. Yellow-bellied Marmots, California, Belding’s, Merriam’s, Columbia, and Washington ground squirrels spend up to seven months sleeping. They appear above ground in March, while the new ones and survivors (Bald Eagles love to play football with them) have gone back to bed by late July.

During those short five months above ground, they reproduce and eat, eat, eat and eat. Believe it or not, the Belding’s ground squirrel’s favorite food is dandelions (and you thought it was hay). If, however, they

happen to come across insects, birds' eggs, worms—or one of their dead brethren on the road—they will consume that as well.

We need water to keep our blood healthy; during hibernation that’s taken care of with water metabolized out of the fat. “But...” you may ask, “what about elimination of waste water afterwards urine?"

Amazingly, the urea is recycled and turned back into protein, as packrats do. (Packrats— which do not hibernate and rarely drink water; they recycle water so many times the waste is almost pure urea; there’s so much in the urine that it coats the rocks near the packrat’s den almost pure white, instead of the characteristic yellow.) Which reminds me, don’t eat yellow snow!

From my experience, bats are the deepest hibernators of all. When I was studying and banding bats in the lava caves near Bend in the ‘70s, I’d often remove a bat carefully from their head-down perch on the cave ceiling; photograph, weigh and band it, and it wouldn’t wake up.

Some of the most interesting hibernators, however, are butterflies and moths. While our Monarchs have migrated to Mexico and California to escape winter, our swallowtail butterflies and moths are wintering over as either eggs, or wrapped in the silk of their chrysalides and cocoons.

However, Mourning Cloaks and California Tortiseshells winter over as adults. What’s neat is that in all stages, insects possess an antifreeze in their “blood” that protects them from freezing, even way below zero! And here we are, freezing our what’s it off… It makes one wonder who these so-called, “lower animals” really are.

From Bend, it’s a comfortable two and a half hour drive starting south on Highway 97. South of La Pine, turn left on Highway 31 past Fort Rock, Silver Lake, and Paisley. A coffee break or food stop at Paisley is well worth some extra time. North of Lakeview you will turn left at a junction that leads to Plush and Hart Mountain.

Watch closely for signs. From Plush, a few more miles will take you to the refuge headquarters where there is an information center with maps and ideas for your visit. The refuge is managed by Jeff Mackay who is an encyclopedia of great information on what the sage steppe has to offer. He can also direct you to campgrounds, wildlife viewing areas, and trailheads. Lakeview is nearby and offers several options for overnight stays.

You might want to become vicariously acquainted with the area by attending one of the Oregon Natural Desert Association’s Speaker Series at 7 pm on Jan. 19 at the Old Stone Church in downtown Bend. ONDA will be hosting an event honoring the “Sage Brush Sisters” and show a short documentary of their hike last summer from the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge on the northern Nevada border to the Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. Following the historic pronghorn antelope migration route, Alice Elshoff, Julie Weikel and Helen Harbin completed the 53-mile hike between the two refuges last June.

The Old Stone Church is located at 157 NW Franklin. Doors open at 6:30 pm for this free event, and pre-registration is strongly encouraged because of limited seating space. More information can be found online. Visit this link: https:// onda.org/get-involved/high-desert-lecture-series.

he southeast Oregon high desert, encompassing the Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, offers some of the most spectacular scenery in Oregon.

First, it’s an ancient land that, according to archaeologists, has supported man for nearly 15,000 years. Second, the landscape supports a rich and diverse habitat for hundreds of wildlife species – most notably pronghorn antelope, mule deer, the iconic sage grouse, and dozens of species of songbirds. There are warm springs to enjoy, pictographs to view, hikes to take, and unparalleled photo opportunities.

SCREEN The Coldest Dish

The Revenant is Cinematic Brutality

By Jared Rasic 41 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 02 / January 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

here have already been thousands of words written about how difficult The Revenant was to make, whether from the point of view of the actors or the filmmakers. Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly almost drowned, froze and starved during filming and Tom Hardy apparently choked director Alejandro G. Iñárritu over the harsh set conditions. Multiple crew members left or were fired and, due to Iñárritu’s insistence on only using natural light for filming, the budget ballooned from $60 million to $135 million. Books will probably be written about the experience of making The Revenant and rightfully so, but none of it matters if the final film isn’t something worthwhile; something worthy of what the men and women went through to make it. The answer to that is a resounding yes, but with some less resounding reservations.

The Revenant is based on the novel by Michael Punke, which recounts the true story of Hugh Glass, an experienced hunter and trapper who was left for dead by his hunting party after he was mangled in a bear attack. His return to

civilization and subsequent hunt for revenge is the primary focus of the film, with small character moments sprinkled throughout.

DiCaprio is fantastic as Glass. While there is always a bit of himself left in every performance that he can’t erase, his commitment here will be remembered come Oscar season.

Every time he crawls across snowy and frozen ground or floats in frigid waters, we feel his pain and root for his survival. The script never fully forms Glass as anything other than the experiences that he is going through and when it tries, as in his more hallucinatory moments remembering his wife and son, the film flirts with a sentimentality it doesn’t need and can’t afford.

As good as DiCaprio is, Tom Hardy is even better as John Fitzgerald, the man who not only leaves Glass to die, but murders Glass’ son in the attempt. As despicable as Fitzgerald is, Hardy never plays him as an outright villain. Hardy’s skill is almost unparalleled in film acting right now and his ability to let us in to every private thought, every uncertain

moment that Fitzgerald has is astounding.

We might not like John Fitzgerald and we are most definitely rooting for Glass to take his revenge, but we always understand him and even empathize with him.

Emmanuel Lubezki’s cinematography is second to none and the locations look as deadly as untamed nature can be. As the primary cinematographer for some of film’s greatest auteurs like Cuaron, Malick and Iñárritu, Lubezki takes the chaotic style of Iñárritu, marries it to the playful technicality of Cuaron and surgically grafts it onto Malick’s vision of Earth outside the scope of humanity. What is left is a film that is hauntingly gorgeous for every single frame, while never quite as inviting as an adventure-epic like this should be.

One of the truly remarkable things about Iñárritu’s past work like Birdman, Amores Perros, Biutiful and 21 Grams is that there is always a lot going on beneath the surface and repeated viewings enhance the experience each and every time. In The Revenant, all the subtext is text, so there is nothing to be

FEATURED FILM EVENTS

gained from another viewing other than to marvel at the direction, cinematography and acting. While those are always good reasons to revisit a film, Iñárritu’s work has traditionally demanded more from an audience than this film does. The pretensions of depth are still there with some interesting dream sequences and abstract imagery, but the film is still just an exceptionally well-made revenge thriller whether or not that is what was intended.

The Revenant might not stick in the brain the way Birdman and Biutiful do, but the fact that it even exists is miraculous. Judged on the merits of the film and not the stories about the experience of making it, we have an old-fashioned epic adventure film and that is always a reason to rejoice.

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID

RIFFTRAX LIVE: STARSHIP TROOPERS

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Finally! A chance to see this legendary western on the big screen. Starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, this film is perfect for friends and family of all ages. If they get emotional at the end, tell them it’s okay, everyone else gets emotional, too. They’re in good company.

Although Starship Troopers is a pretty great little misunderstood sci-fi satire, it can handle the Rifftrax crew giving it a gentle ribbing. These Rifftrax Live shows allow the audience to see the crew riff on the movies while on camera in front of an audience, simulcast across the country. Spill popcorn on your date while giggling and annoy them completely!

This documentary focuses on climate change through the lens of capitalism and how it is failing the country one middle class person at a time. This film asks the question about whether we can use the climate crisis to change the economic system into something more sustainable for everyone on Earth.

orror movies are a bit of a conundrum when it comes to what makes one successful (as a piece of cinema, not financially) and what would relegate one to the dusty bins of failed grotesquerie. So many of those little things that add up to making a great horror movie can be mixed and matched for positive results, as long as a few ingredients are still present.

The Forest is basically 95 minutes of uninteresting people walking through a bunch of trees, literally waiting for something scary to happen to them. Even when things go from bad to worse, it is all too tame and predictable to merit even the slightest elevated heartbeat.

The main thing a successful horror film needs is a cast of characters we’re interested in. If the film doesn’t want us to be emotionally connected to their survival (Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street) then we need to be excited to watch them die (Hostel, Sheitan). But even if those two things are too far-reaching for the average horror movie, then we need some bloody and exciting kills, whether it be by slasher, demon, vengeful ghost or otherwise. The Forest fails at all three.

The Forest doesn’t try to mess with the formula very much since it gives us a genre staple (identical twins) in a spooky environment (Japanese suicide forest) and then just kind of hangs back and hopes that is enough to make us scared. It’s not.

Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones and the last two Hunger Games flicks) plays Sara and Jess Price. Jess has headed into Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mount Fiji and the Japanese police think she is dead. Sara then goes to the forest, desperate to find the sister that she has spent a lifetime trying to rescue from bad decisions.

While in a bar, Sara meets Aiden (Taylor

Kinney from Chicago Fire and also Lady Gaga’s man friend), a writer for a travel magazine who will help get her access to the back areas of the forest if she lets him write about the story of the hunt for her sister.

Once they arrive in the forest together along with a Japanese guide, the rules of the film are set in motion.

Every single person that Sara runs into on her way to the forest tells her not to leave the trail, ever, because then the spirits of the dead will make her see things that aren’t there and she'll never find her way out again.

Since Sara is already a somewhat irrational and unlikable character, we assume everything she sees in the forest is a product of her panicking and feverish mind, thus making all of the scary things inherently boring since it’s all just a dream.

If Sara was relatable or if Jess was actually a character in the film instead of someone we only see in flashbacks, then we could find some investment. As it stands, we have a small group of people we don’t care for, so the somewhat creepy cinematography is wasted on them.

The Forest tries to be a character drama inside of a horror movie, but since it relentlessly fails at following the formula or blazing itself a new path, it is instead a limp retread of decades old J-Horror entries like Ringu and The Grudge. If you are a casual horror fan, there might be a few shocking moments in here for you, but the seasoned horror completist can leave this one behind unless looking for some genuine inspiration to make a much better horror movie with less money and more scares.

13 Hours; The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

CONCUSSION: Will Smith takes another

THE HATEFUL EIGHT: Although you’ll have to drive to Portland to catch the film in 70mm, advanced reviews have this film locked as a must-see, regardless of the projection. Tarantino is definitely not for everyone, but if you’re already a fan then there is no way you’re missing this.

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAYPART 2: Even though it does feel like this series has been going forever, Mockingjay Part 2 should give the epic series a proper sendoff. As fans of the books know, this is part of the story where everything actually happens (unlike the completely event-free Part 1), so tissues should be held at the ready.

This will also be the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s final screen appearance, so it’s worth

RIDE ALONG 2: Kevin Hart and Ice Cube team up again to make puns and shoot guns in this sequel to the ridiculously popular Ride Along. Now Hart is a full-fledged cop, but will his constantly bumbling antics get him and Mr. Cube shot to pieces by some gangsters?

Probably not. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX ROOM: Based on the absolutely stunning novel, Room tells the story of what we must do to protect those who we love from the harshest of truths. Brie Larson is going to explode after this movie and become the next big thing. Go into it knowing as little as possible in order to let the film take you under its wing. Tin Pan Theater

SISTERS: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler playing sisters throwing a house party in their childhood home sounds like a pretty good recipe for a classic. With a supporting cast full of ringers like Ike Barinholtz, James Brolin, Samantha Bee, Jon Glaser, John Leguizamo, and Maya Rudolph, even if the script isn’t great, it will still be worth a watch. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS: There is nothing more to say. The line is long. The air is cold. Lightsaber fights in the parking lot are fun but discouraged. And all of it was worth it. A definite return to the magic of the original trilogy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE GOOD DINOSAUR: While the trailers for this haven’t really been exceptional, Pixar so rarely disappoints that just having their name on it is enough to get most people into the theater. Especially following their alltime classic, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur is coming at a time where dinosaur love is peaking. The animated film follows the journey of a dinosaur and his companion, a cave-man boy who acts like a dog. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE REVENANT: From the visionary director of Birdman comes the movie that almost killed Leonardo DiCaprio multiple times. The Revenant tells the somewhat true tale of Hugh Glass, a frontiersman who gets super mauled by a bear and then ditched by his hunting team and left for dead. What follows is 150 minutes of revenge, followed by violence, followed by catharsis, rinse and repeat. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX

DADDY’S HOME: Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg face off for the love of children.

Not all children across the world, but a couple of specific ones. That would be weird if they were after all kids. That would also be a completely different movie that wouldn’t be so popular. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

sible to improve upon perfection, this remake of the classic Patrick Swayze/Keanu Reeves vehicle seems like a pointless exercise in franchise greed. The trailers make the film look different enough from the original to be worth a viewing, but there is still something sour about the entire enterprise. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX

swing at an Oscar with this story based on true events. Smith plays Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who discovers a causality between neurologic deterioration and the constant concussions received by football players. As Omalu takes on the NFL, Smith plays “quiet and dignified” like only he can.

to get really riled, The Big Short tells the story about the 2008 subprime home loans meltdown leading to the near-economic collapse of the country. With a cast featuring Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Steve Carell, the film is getting much more attention than it would otherwise. Grab some popcorn and prepare to be infuriated. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

JOY: Another collaboration between the great David O. Russell and his dual muses Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. The film follows four generations of a family as they struggle and fight for the lives they want to lead. Even the worst of Russell’s films are worth watching just to peek at the process of the famously difficult director. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

attempt to re-enact the Iran hostage crisis on a very small scale.

- Direct And Dumped Is your dating coach 8 years old? Because “I refuse to speak to you till you propose!” is a (slightly) more adult version of “I’m holding my breath till you buy me that Barbie!”

Welcome to Ultimatum Frisbee! A highly risky game. We tend to freak when our freedom is threatened—including our freedom of choice. In fact, social psychologist George A. Youngs finds that when a potential loss of freedom looms, it unleashes a “motivational state,” compelling us to try to preserve that freedom and fight off any attempts to yank other freedoms. In other words, the more you go all petty despot on somebody— overtly trying to force them into doing your bidding—the more likely they are to rebel, and maybe even do the exact opposite of what you want.

“Overtly” is the key word here. Your roommate also wanted to wrangle a commitment from her boo. But note the difference in tactics: making it attractive for him to stick around, as opposed to leaving a note on his pillow, “Put a ring on it!”—along with the severed, bleeding head of My Little Pony.

This isn’t to say you should keep your mouth shut about what you want. But consider the difference in controllingness in making a statement versus giving an ultimatum. A statement tells him what you have to do: “I feel bad that you don’t seem to want to marry me, and I can’t continue in this much longer.” An ultimatum, on the other hand, tells him what he has to do: “Marry me or nothing, bucko!”

Also, consider that with “marry me or nothing,” you’re very distinctly putting “nothing” on the table. And maybe at a certain point, this is a trade-off you’re willing to make. But, again, stating it in those terms is probably a bad idea. Keep in mind that typically, a man commits to a woman because he loves her and is better with her than he is alone—much as he might admire her for her

Atone Deaf

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 02 / January 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on a relationship coach, who instructed me to cut off all sex and even all contact with the guy I was dating until he agreed to marry me.

I knew he loved me and wanted to marry me; I just wanted him to do it faster. Sadly, my ultimatum to him blew up in my face; he is done with me. My roommate, who thought the coach’s advice was terrible, just moved in with her guy, despite his being kind of a commitmentphobe. Her approach was to just be loving and patient with him and give it some time (about a year). She said she realized that she had the option to bail if the waiting became too much. I’m confused. Men supposedly don’t get hints.

Why doesn’t saying what you want work to get the guy?

I’m a 28-year-old girl, and I‘ve been with my boyfriend for several months. He never really apologizes. He’ll say “I’m sorry you feel that way” and never “I’m sorry that I did that.” When I confronted him, he said, “Well, I’m not sorry for my actions. I just don’t want to hurt you, so I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.” Am I parsing this too much?

Is there a difference between these two apologies?

—Wondering “I’m sorry you feel that way” is the Dollar Tree version of an apology. Sure, it has the words “I’m sorry” and the package seems kind of familiar, but it ultimately goes down like expired SpaghettiOs from Czechoslovakia.

This kind of apology doesn’t make you want to forgive somebody; it makes you want to chase them with an ax. Basically, instead of taking responsibility for what they did or said, they’re using apology words to blame you for feeling bad about it. Which is like saying, “I’m so sorry your window was too lame to open itself when my golf ball was heading toward it.”

And sure, “Sorry you’re offended” is sometimes appropriate, but when it’s always somebody’s apology, it suggests they have no connection to the possibility that they’ve done something wrong. This is a trait common to narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths, reflecting a lack of empathy.

(Their saying “I’m sorry you’re hurt” is just a sneaky way out, not an expression of care and concern.)

Consider whether the “I’m perfect; you’re oversensitive” model will work for you long term. If not, tell him what you need and see whether he can or will give it to you. If you don’t see a change, the best way to teach him may be by example: “I’m sorry, but the number you have called has been disconnected.”

That’s Totally OFF the HOOK! What’s up with business phone providers that make you talk to a robot or wait on hold forever?

Shouldn’t a phone company know how to answer the phone?

THE BOMB SQUAD REMOVAL OF K9 LANDMINES 541 - 617 - 1900

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It’s a terrible thing to wait until you’re ready,” proclaims actor Hugh Laurie. He goes even further: “No one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready.” His counsel is too extreme for my tastes. I believe that proper preparation is often essential. We’ve got to get educated about the challenges we want to take on. We need to develop at least some skills to help us master our beloved goals. On the other hand, it’s impossible to ever be perfectly prepared and educated and skilled. If you postpone your quantum leaps of faith until every contingency has been accounted for, you’ll never leap. Right now, Capricorn, Laurie’s view is good advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fate has transformed a part of your life that you didn’t feel ready to have transformed. I won’t offer my condolences, though, because I’ve guessed a secret that you don’t know about yet. The mythic fact, as I see it, is that whatever you imagine you have had to let go of will ultimately come back to you in a revised and revivified form -maybe sooner than you think. Endings and beginnings are weaving their mysteries together in unforeseen ways. Be receptive to enigmatic surprises.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Good news: Your eagerness to think big is one of your superpowers. Bad news: It’s also one of your liabilities.

Although it enables you to see how everything fits together, it may cause you to overlook details about what’s undermining you. Good news: Your capacity for intense empathy is a healing balm for both others and yourself. At least potentially, it means you can be a genius of intimacy. Bad news: Your intense empathy can make you fall prey to the emotional manipulation of people with whom you empathize. Good news: Your willingness to explore darkness is what makes your intelligence so profound. Bad news: But that’s also why you have to wrestle so fiercely with fear. Good news: In the next four weeks, the positive aspects of all the above qualities will be ascendant.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You love autonomy.

You specialize in getting the freedom and sovereignty you require. You are naturally skilled at securing your independence from influences that might constrain your imagination and limit your self-expression. But here’s a sticking point: If you want the power to help shape group processes, you must give up some of your autonomy. In order to motivate allies to work toward shared goals, you need to practice the art of interdependence. The next test of your ability to do this is coming right up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Nothing is really work unless you’d rather be doing something else.” So said Taurus writer James M. Barrie (1860-1937), who created the Peter Pan stories. Your challenge and invitation in the coming months is to increase the amount of time you spend that does not qualify as work. In fact, why don’t you see how much and how often you can indulge in outright play? There’ll be no better way to attract grace and generate good fortune.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s my proposal: Get in touch with your madness. And don’t tell me you have no madness. We all do. But listen: When I use the word “madness,” I don’t mean howling rage, hurtful lunacy, or out-of-control misbehavior. I’m calling on the experimental part of you that isn’t always polite and reasonable; the exuberant rebel who is attracted to wild truths rather than calming lies; the imaginative seeker who pines for adventures on the frontiers of your understanding. Now is an excellent time to tap into your inner maverick.

©

I’m giving you a good dose of Laux’s purifying rant in the hope that it will incite you to unleash your own. The time is favorable to summon an expanded appreciation for the twists and tweaks of your past, even those that seemed torturous in the moment. Laux doesn’t regret the TV set she threw out the upstairs window or the stuck onion rings she had to sweep off the dirty restaurant floor, and I hope you will be that inclusive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Modesty is the art of drawing attention to whatever it is you’re being humble about,” said Alfred E. Neuman, the fictitious absurdist whose likeness often appears on the cover of Mad magazine. I’m here to tell you, Leo, that now is an excellent time to embody this aphorism. You are in a perfect position to launch a charm offensive by being outrageously unassuming. The less you brag about yourself and the more you praise other people, the better able you will be to get exactly what you want. Being unegotistical and non-narcissistic is an excellent strategy for serving your selfish needs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s,” says a character in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. I don’t agree with that idea 100 percent of the time.

Sometimes our wrong ideas are so delusional that we’re better off getting interrupted and redirected by the wiser insights of others. But for the near future, Virgo, I recommend Dostoyevsky’s prescription for your use.

One of your key principles will be to brandish your unique perspectives. Even if they’re not entirely right and reasonable, they will lead you to what you need to learn next.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I love kissing,” testifies singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens. “If I could kiss all day, I would. I can’t stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because there’s no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep.” I invite you to temporarily adopt this expansive obsession, Libra. The astrological omens suggest that you need more sweet slippery sensual tender interaction than usual. Why? Because it will unleash sweet slippery sensual tender emotions and sweet slippery sensual tender thoughts, all of which will awaken a surge of dormant creativity. Which you also need very much.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Everything has been said before,” said French author André Gide, “but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.” I am happy to inform you that you’re about to be temporarily exempt from this cynical formulation. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be able to drive home certain points that you have been trying to make over and over again for quite a while. The people who most need to hear them will finally be able to register your meaning. (P.S. This breakthrough will generate optimal results if you don’t gloat. Be grateful and understated.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you want more money, Sagittarius? Are there treasures you wish you could have, but you can’t afford them? Do any exciting experiences and life-enhancing adventures remain off-limits because of limited resources? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, now would be an excellent time to formulate plans and take action to gather increased wealth. I don’t guarantee total success if you do, but I promise that your chance to make progress will be higher than usual. Cosmic tendencies are leaning in the direction of you getting richer quicker, and if you collaborate with those tendencies, financial magic could materialize.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here’s an excerpt from Dorianne Laux’s poem Antilamentation: “Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read to the end just to find out who killed the cook.

Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark. Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot. Not the nights you called god names and cursed your mother, sunk like a dog in the living room couch, chewing your nails.”

Homework Find, create, or arrange to be in the path of an experience that makes you cry for joy. Report results to FreeWillAstrology.com. © Copyright 2016 Rob Brezsny

Cohousing – A Place for Community

By Nick Nayne, Principal Broker

According to the Cohousing Association of the United States (cohousing.org), there are 158 established communities in the U.S., with 16 of them in Oregon. Higher Ground is a unique cohousing neighborhood in northeast Bend bordered by Daggett and Jackson Streets.

For those of you unfamiliar with co-housing, I suggest you search the term online and see all the communities that exist. I have been fascinated by this housing concept and it is something I personally am interested in pursuing for my next housing move. There are many such communities all around the country where one sees a true sense of community shared by people from all age groups benefitting from the unique gifts that each offers. A typical characteristic of cohousing communities is a shared area where homes

are clustered together like a little village with lots of common area space for gardens, fruit trees, parks and recreation. There is often a community gathering hall with a kitchen where people get together for meals or community activities and meetings.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 02 / January 14, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A

viable alternative to the dilemma of placing a tiny house is found in creating a permanent cohousing community of small homes that are larger than the typical tiny homes on wheels.

49

What sets these intentional communities apart is that they are multi-generational and ecologically-focused. One example of a benefit of these communities is shared childcare responsibilities. Members of the community who are retired help supervise children after school and may also start a community dinner while waiting for parents to come home. In kind, when elder members need a ride to the doctor or help with something around the home, the favor is returned. It is a win-win situation for everyone and really a true community atmosphere.

A similar type of community of micro housing units would be a viable alternative to meeting our local housing shortages and providing affordable housing.

The rollout was decidedly undersized by any standards, much less New York standards. Dispensary locations include Manhattan and Westchester County in the New York City area, and others farther upstate in Albany, Buffalo, and two in the Finger Lakes region.

The New York Times described the dispensaries as “serving a variety of syrups, concentrates, and other forms of the drug,” noting a key feature of the law is that smoking cannabis is strictly prohibited. The reasoning, apparently that of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, is that there is no need to ingest a medicine in a potentially harmful manner (smoking) when it can be ingested in a healthy manner, in the form of a juicy syrup, for example.

The small opening for medical marijuana in New York is mostly attributable to the fact that there are only 51 patients in the whole state as of Jan. 6, but that is because certification only began on Dec.23.

However, the law’s tight restrictions may severely limit the number of patients and thus the availability for medical marijuana.

Such an outcome would be consistent with New York’s history, given its infamous Rockefeller Drug Laws with 15-year minimum sentences, signed into law in 1973 under former Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. If cannabis can make it there, it can make it anywhere.

A handful of additional dispensaries are expected to open later this year, but the

number of dispensaries is capped at four per county. The state has also capped producer licenses, and has only issued five such licenses so far, ensuring that the supply of medical marijuana will start as a trickle. The state also allows dispensing of only a small number of cannabis strains.

But the uncommon restrictions don’t end there. Prescribing physicians must complete a four-hour course costing $249. Thus far, only 150 physicians have completed the certification. “The hoops doctors have to jump through are ludicrous and do not apply to far more dangerous medications, such as opiates,” said Karen O’Keefe, director of state policies at the Marijuana Policy Project.

As would be expected, the Drug Policy Alliance is reporting that patients in the state are having difficulty finding doctors who can prescribe.

Nicholas Vita, CEO of the first dispensary in New York City, estimates between 200,000 and 400,000 New Yorkers will qualify for the medical marijuana program, a relatively small number for a state with the population of New York. Patients with cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, HIV/AIDS, neuropathies and spinal cord injuries can now legally purchase medical marijuana in New York.

That’s a start; however, advocates claim such a system will mean that many people who need medical marijuana will not be able to get access to the drug. That will be a regrettable outcome for New York, considering all of the effort involved in the legalization process. Unfortunately, it looks like New York has bureaucratized medical marijuana to death.
