IN REPLY TO "BENDITES DON’T WALK" (2/4)

Today I suffered my second flat tire within the past month and a half. I hit a pot hole on Century Drive going into the round-about at Colorado. My tire, again, needs replacement. Needless to say, the pot-hole epidemic that we are seeing here in Bend this season is worse than I’ve seen in my 30 years of living here. It has made me take a look not only at the quality of road construction, but also at the quality of materials used by the road crews doing the projects, the traffic and heavy loads we are subjecting the roads to, and lastly what the hidden culprit is that is causing the pot-holes to come into existence.

Dear Steve Edwards,

Many folks are quick to point a finger at studded tires, heavy traffic, or heavy trucks using the roadways. However, there is another ingredient that is accelerating the effects of road use: Magnesium Chloride - MgCl. Its intended use is to minimize dust on gravel or dirt roads. When it is used to melt ice on paved roads, the water is mixed with the MgCl and can’t evaporate, so it stays deep in the cracks until the next freeze, when it expands and breaks the asphalt into gravel. The result is a pothole. and when potholes get drenched in MgCl the result is a mammoth pothole. Let’s face it, it shouldn’t be used on paved roads. ~Eric Lilley

IN REPLY TO “BENDITES DON’T WALK” (2/4) Real Bendites Don’t B*tch People in motor vehicles are obviously more informed than Mr. Edwards. He clearly doesn’t understand that there is a state law requiring vehicles to stop for pedestrians at any intersection, regardless of whether they’re at a crosswalk or not. Even if he were properly informed prior to grousing about the respect inadvertently granted him for being on foot, he should at least display gratitude toward the neighborly gesture. If you want to be ignored at a street corner, then spend more time in East Coast cities. We should take pride in any gesture that promotes foot or cycling traffic, yet Mr. Edwards appears to be incensed by this. He actually describes this interaction as “insipid.” Really? What’s insipid is this line of commentary. Vehicles stopped for pedestrians is uninspiring to you? You really desire a more engaging interaction at intersections? If so, then perhaps you shouldn’t pause at the crosswalk. Why am I so incensed by this? Because I unfortunately share the same name with [Steve Edwards] and I’m fatigued at having to explain myself to friends and neighbors. ~Steve C. Edwards

IMPACT OF MAG CHLORIDE ON ROADS

I’m sorry that you find drivers who stop to let pedestrians cross the street “...insipid. People get weak knees for the poor beleaguered soul on foot.” You just “don’t know.” It’s called courtesy—consideration for other people. Folks from other states regularly remark on this, especially people from big cities. This is part of the culture here. I was happy to leave discourtesy and lack of consideration for other people back in the Bay Area. Happy to be home in Oregon. As they say, “You’re not from around here are you?” ~Susan Groszkiewicz

IN REPLY TO “BENDITES DON’T WALK” (2/4) I had to read Steve Edwards’ letter a few times to be sure that I understood it correctly. Apparently stopping your car for a pedestrian in Bend is a “cultural peculiarity.” It is not really peculiar—it is called “courtesy” and “consideration” and it has been the norm around Bend for many years. However, if more people with Mr. Edwards’ attitude move to town we won’t be “peculiar” anymore. I would suggest that he find a place that he does not find “peculiar” and move there. BTW Steve—look up the definition of “insipid” before you use the word again. ~The Codger, John Boylen

COFFEE HOUSES NEED LACTOSE-FREE MILK We who live in Bend are so fortunate to have a wonderful selection of dedicated coffee roasters and baristas along with a truly remarkable variety of coffee houses in which to sample their creations. I do believe that our coffee houses are second to none. Their existence is one of the things that makes Bend such a unique and attractive place to live. Whether it’s a small coffee house owned by a young entrepreneurial couple, or a bigger concern with several locations, whether spacious and bustling or modest and calm, there’s a place for everyone. Pride in the product extends to the variety of options for those who cannot tolerate the obvious addition to good coffee: dairy. It used to be that non-dairy drinkers had to be consoled with soy milk if they wanted a cappuccino or a latte. Then came almond milk, which was better, and finally hemp milk. My challenge is this: to all the coffee houses in Bend who take coffee seriously…who will be the first to start offering lactose-free milk? A trend

DELIGHTFUL VALENTINE’S KINDNESS For all the complaints about housing costs, land use issues, short-term rentals, etc., I’ve never before lived in a town where, when you and your loved one go out for breakfast on Valentine’s Day, you’re delighted by someone else’s kindness. The stuffed felt hearts tied or staked all over town, with their little love message had to have brightened countless peoples’ morning. It did mine and my husband’s. ...and we saw others delighting in them. We gave ours to a young couple who had the happiest baby, who were waiting for breakfast as we were. Knit scarves have also been seen hanging on lamp posts with notes to take them if you need them. We love our adopted hometown, and the hearts of people who do things like this, just to make others smile. Nice is appreciated. Thank you.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Anne – What a wonderful letter describing how an act of kindness spreads through the community. Sharing the Valentine’s Day heart found downtown by you and your husband was a lovely gesture. We’d like you to have a cup of coffee on us. Pick up your Palate gift card at the Source Weekly office.

ENDORSEMENT

Yes on Measure 9-105 Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / February 18, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

allots were mailed on Wednesday for the City of Bend Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax, Measure 9-105, a five cents-per-gallon tax on gasoline that would be dedicated to road repairs and improvements in Bend. A city fuel tax is not a new concept in Oregon, where state and federal funding for roads has stayed stagnant for two decades. There are 24 cities in Oregon with a gas tax, ranging from one cent in Newport to three cents in Sisters and five cents in Eugene. It makes sense that Bend, a city of fewer than 100,000 residents, would help fund roads through a tax that shares the burden with the city’s 2 million annual tourists. The timing of the ballot is intended to allow Bend to have the fuel tax in place prior to the peak tourism of the spring and summer months. According to Visit Bend, there are 1.4 to 1.7 million visitor trips to Bend from May to October, and 1.8 million to 2.2 million annually (based on the hotel census for Bend, 2008 2010). Bend’s tourism grows and grows while funding for road maintenance from the state and federal government does not. The result is mounting deferred maintenance, estimated to be $80 million, according to an independent consultant’s report from 2013.

Two opponents of the gas tax on the Bend City Council include Victor Chudowsky and Casey Roats, who voted against sending the proposal to the ballot in March. Chudowsky points to the ongoing problem at the state level,

where a reliance on taxes for roads has led to ever-more taxes, growing from nine cents per gallon in 1985 to 30 cents per gallon today. Furthermore, Oregon’s shortfall for roads will continue due to flat or declining revenue as fuel efficiency steadily improves. “I totally agree more money has to be spent on streets,” says Chudowsky. “However, putting in a local gas tax would be replicating the state’s failure.” He says a better option would be to allocate differently the tourism tax money that the city already receives through room taxes. He notes the Bend tourism boom is expected to continue; four new hotels are currently under construction, and revenue is growing faster than expected. “Growth should pay for itself,” he says. Prior to the March 8 special election, the City of Bend will hold an informational open house on Monday, Feb. 29 at City Hall (710 NW Wall Street). City Manager Eric King will talk about the city’s finances and the city’s finance director and streets and operations director will answer questions about the deterioration of the street conditions and proposed solutions. The tax would bring more money into the city’s general fund to be allocated to road repair costs, avoiding cuts that would come from other parts of the budget. With more than 2 million visitors to Bend who use city resources and the roads, this is a win-win for the city. Vote yes on Measure 9-105. SW

Water Rights

Conservation efforts questioned

SIDE NOTES By Angela Moore

By Brian Jennings 7

awsuits filed by environmental groups against the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and multiple Central Oregon water districts, including the Central Oregon Irrigation District (COID), demand changes to the way the Deschutes River’s water is managed. The environmental groups are using the destruction of habitat of the spotted frog and the federal Endangered Species Act to trigger changes in Central Oregon’s water management. Just below the surface of the requested injunction, run deeper questions: At what point are senior water rights holders accountable for environmental damage? Is there any way to improve an antiquated water rights system? Should senior water rights holders have the right to the last drop of water? At the root of the problem are 19th century water laws in the west that are wreaking havoc in the 21st century, not just in Oregon, but in drought-ravaged California, as well. In Oregon, COID, with operations beginning in 1900, is not just one of the oldest irrigation districts, it is a senior water rights holder in Central Oregon. Today COID is a quasi-governmental “Municipal Corporation” that operates tax-free. Revenue streams come from providing water, “patron assessments,” and by generating power via hydropower plants built along the canals. More than a century ago, private capitalists, including Alexander Drake, built canals in Central Oregon to attract settlers with the promise of irrigation for farming. In the late 1800s, the U.S. Congress passed laws to encourage settlement in the arid Western states. At that time, most of the land was owned by the U.S. government. The state of Oregon soon adopted these laws and authorized the building and operation of for-profit canals.

Pat Kliewer, of Kliewer Engineering & Associates, has studied the subject for several years. She says that based on information from historic documents, the Deschutes River has been over-allocated for more than 100 years. Kliewer is a critic of hydropower generation on canals—including the Juniper Ridge power plant, as well as large-scale piping diversion projects —saying that these practices do not conserve water. “If we took the power plants offline, would that help conserve water? Absolutely,” says Kliewer. Her analysis of Bureau of Water Reclamation records shows significantly higher Deschutes River water diversion since the plants were built. She believes that more water is being diverted for hydropower than ever before. “Hydropower plants need a certain amount of water and the more water going through them, the more power output they have,” she explains. Heavy diversion impacts the amount of water available in the upper Deschutes basin, with a lack of water resulting in habitat destruction. Bend resident Aleta Warren, who lives on the Pilot Butte Canal, has noticed in recent years that the canal is flowing so high that it spills over the brim. Kliewer notes the canals were not designed for that capacity of flow, rather, they should be kept at 18” below the top. With no incentive to conserve, she asserts that COID has kept canal flows high to increase flow to hydropower plants. Shon Rae, Communications Manager at the Central Oregon Irrigation District, presents a different argument. “Hydropower generation in irrigation canals is one of the greenest forms of energy available and has the ability to help fund these large conservation projects. It would seem like those two things combined are very environmentally conscious decisions.”

Kliewer is skeptical. “What I have found in my research is that hydropower plants are the opposite of water conservation on irrigation systems,” Kliewer says. Like many residents living along Central Oregon’s canals, Warren doesn’t want to see large diversion pipes in her backyard. Piping, however, seems to be the chief method for water conservation considered by COID. In early February, part of the Pilot Butte Canal was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, despite COID’s plans to pipe it. Kliewer says, “The Land Use Board of Appeals ruled that piping half of the historic Pilot Butte district was not a conservation project. COID did not present any evidence that made the Land Use Board of Appeals believe that. In fact, they found it was an extension of the existing hydropower project, and the sole purpose of piping this stretch was to produce more hydropower income for the district.” COID’s Rae says, “That project, as presented, was taken off the table several months ago to re-evaluate our conservation plans going forward. This was withdrawn to evaluate our whole system.” A System Improvement Plan (SIP) is now being prepared, she says. When asked if COID would pursue piping in the 1.5-mile historic section of the canal, Rae said, “We will be pursuing all options for conservation pending the SIP outcome.” She added, “Bottom line is that COID is committed to conservation for the good of our patrons, community and the environment, and nothing will distract us from pursuing that.” Conservation talking points are not likely to satisfy environmental groups seeking a legal remedy. The uncomfortable uncertainty about water is particularly worrisome among growers in the region who don’t know if they will have enough water for their crops in April. SW

ov. Kate Brown ordered all flags at Oregon public institutions to be flown at half-staff immediately until the day of interment in honor of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died on Feb. 13. “Justice Scalia provided many years of dedicated service to one of the most consequential institutions of our nation,” Gov. Brown said. “On behalf of the State of Oregon, I offer my sincere condolences to the Scalia family.” President Obama will select a replacement for Justice Scalia, as is his constitutional obligation. He has told the Senate he will not allow it to shirk its responsibility to confirm his nominee, and do so promptly, before the November elections. Justice Scalia was an outspoken conservative on the court.

Armed occupation at Malheur Refuge finally ends

ebruary 11 marked the end of a 41-day occupation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County. The FBI arrested the final four occupiers without incident. Occupants insisted prior to arrest that the residents of the community were in support of the occupation; however, many in the community would disagree. Laurie O’Connor is a librarian for the town and has lived in Harney County for almost three decades. The grandmother and involved citizen expressed the sentiments of many in Harney County by saying she is very relieved that the occupation is over. The total cost of the event has yet to be totaled. Oregon District U.S. Attorney, Billy J. Williams announced that, “Much work is left to assess the crime scene and damage to the refuge and tribal artifacts. We are committed to seeing the job done and to pursue justice for the crimes committed during the illegal occupation.” SW

The Bend A Cappella Festival By Jared Rasic

Leave it to Micah Peterson and his band, Second Son, to make me care about country music again. I was raised on horse and cattle ranches, force fed George Straight, Travis Tritt, Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw while pounding t-posts into the earth. Once I left the ranch and headed to college I discovered hiphop and never looked back.

s the musical landscape changed throughout the decades, so did one of the oldest forms of music: the constantly underestimated a cappella. In forming an appreciation of the importance and awesomeness of a cappella, it is key to understand the form’s origins. As do most things, a cappella has its roots in the religious. Gregorian chant, as well as most secular vocal music from the Renaissance, used it for praise worship, but it was the development of polyphonic sound in Europe around the 15th century that influenced the church composers and kept the art form alive to the present day. In the United States, it was the founding of the Northwestern A Cappella Choir in 1906 by the dean of the Northwestern University School of Music that helped popularize it in its modern format. Fairly quickly, collegiate a cappella groups started to be founded and funded, with schools across the country creating their own choirs and competing in everything from tournaments to reality shows. The formal movement made way for the modern as barbershop and doo wop gained in popularity, which eventually led to beatboxers like Rahzel and Biz Markie making their own marks on the art form. The true media explosion of the form came in the late 2000s with the advent of the show “The Sing-Off.” The third season introduced the world to submitted Pentatonix, an a cappella group that put

such innovative spins on tracks including “Let’s Get it On” and “Love Lockdown,” that even people who had never heard of a cappella were getting into the music. After winning a Grammy, topping the billboard charts and going platinum, combined with the smash success of the film “Pitch Perfect,” it was safe to say that a cappella was reaching the masses. Now Bend has its own three-day a cappella festival that is filled with seminars, events and performances. There will be critique sessions on Sunday morning where someone can perform a song for a cappella experts and find out where they can improve. Saturday brings the master classes, where aspiring singers can learn how to move forward with an a cappella career. Festival Director Erin Felder explains, “There are 14 groups competing in the ‘Sing Off,’ traveling in from Seattle, Walla Walla, Portland, Eugene, Corvallis and Bend. We have a wonderful mix of high school, collegiate, amateur and soloists. Our headliner, The House Jacks, will be here to judge the competition and choose an opening act for the Showcase performance on Saturday, and award the $1,000 cash prize.” Ray Solley, executive director of The Tower Theatre, talks about the origins of the event: “About two years ago, City of Bend Arts, Beautification and Culture Commissioner Leonard Gross came to my office and suggested the Tower

help create and present an a cappella festival. His idea was to celebrate the human voice in a festival setting similar to the way the old Cascade Music Festival showcased classical music every year. The Tower has been very successful with several a cappella groups over the years – from the Swingle Singers to Take 6 to Ladysmith Black Mambazo, so I was an early, enthusiastic supporter. But when I took the idea to the Tower staff, that’s when it really took off. The staff and board got behind the idea and created a full-blown festival, complete with competitions, workshops, classes, and pop-up and concert performances.” On top of that, all throughout Saturday, different a cappella groups will give street performances all around downtown and the Old Mill, giving those who can’t make the festival a chance to see these incredible singers in action. As much as a cappella has changed over the last few centuries, it has changed the most in the last 20 years. For this reason, it is impossible to predict where the art form is headed next, but America will most certainly be along for the ride. SW

Much of modern country music is overly focused on a specific demographic – the big truck driving demographic. Old-school country like Hank Jr. felt more like storytelling. Nu Country seems whinier and filled with more first world problems than universal truths. Thus, when I say Second Son’s new record, “The Heat of Devils,” rocked me back on my heels a bit, this comes from someone who has deeply ignored country for many years. Where so many country artists’ drawl seems like an affectation, Micah Peterson’s vocals feel naturally crisp and clear, as if he is effortlessly able to sit in the pocket where so many modern country singers fail. His twang sounds authentic and lived-in, as if the miles of hard road he sings about were come by honestly. “This record was two years in the making,” Peterson says. “It’s a very personal work for me. It’s a heartbreak record through and through.” Tracks like “Don’t Mean a Thing” and “Sunsets” recall the best of Uncle Tupelo and early Wilco, while “There’s a Road” has a Dylan-esque quality that is quite hard to ignore. These standout songs with Wilderness’ Jared Nelson Smith engineering, arranging and producing, and Peterson’s honest and heartfelt songwriting and outstanding vocals, make “The Heat of Devils” an album that’s true country.

PURE COUNTRY Second Son Changed My Mind

Railroad Earth All aboard sound By Angela Moore

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / February 18, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Unconcerned with fitting into a defined genre, Railroad Earth focuses on creating music that leaves listeners feeling good. Photo by Erin Mills.

ailroad Earth is six-piece band formed in 2001 that calls New Jersey home; that is, when not living their dreams on the road. Currently on tour, Railroad Earth is set to play The Domino Room in Bend on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Railroad Earth has been described as a bluegrass-Americana rock 'n' roll band. Although drummer Carey Harmon tells the Source that with such a wide range of different musicians in the band, it is difficult to pin down one genre of sound they make. “It’s American music, not

trying specifically to be a bluegrass band or a rock band, and yet it’s all in there….” Many minds in music can be a tricky thing. One thing they can all agree on, however, is the emotional connection that comes with the creation and appreciation of music. “[We are] just trying to move people with what moves us and just have some fun,” says Harmon. The name Railroad Earth comes from Jack Kerouac’s “October in the Railroad Earth.” Kerouac, a pioneer of the Beat Generation, is most famous for his

stream-of-consciousness style of writing in “On the Road.” His spoken word poems were very much influenced by his surrounding during the 1950s and 1960s. This group has played in Oregon a few times before, and this will be the second time at The Domino Room. Harmon says the band is looking forward to entertaining the people of Bend. “In a world made up increasingly of virtual relationships and activities, it is even more special that people gather to do something in person together,” he says.

Harmon doesn’t let the rising popularity of Railroad Earth affect his ego. In fact, he is still in a bit of disbelief that the dream of so many musicians is his reality. “Getting paid to make music is hard to come to terms with. It’s a blessing and I’d do it anyways,” he says. SW Railroad Earth Wednesday, Feb. 24 doors 7 p.m., show 9:15 p.m. The Domino Room, 51 Greenwood Ave., Bend $27 adv., $30 door.

Theater As Catharsis

"Next to Normal" finds beauty in pain

ART WATCH By Russ Axon

By Jared Rasic 23

n Feb. 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066. This order forced over 120,000 persons of Japanese descent, a majority of them American citizens, into internment camps for almost three years. The order was not officially rescinded until almost 30 years later. In 1979, Oregon was one of the first states to commemorate the Japanese American internment with a Day of Remembrance, organizing an event at a former detention center. The Day of Remembrance has since grown into a national movement, with several states holding events on or around Feb. 19 to recognize the order’s signing and the displaced citizens it affected.

Anything but normal: the cast wrings emotion out of every scene in a brave production. Photo courtesy of 2nd Street Theater.

“N

ext to Normal,” the new show by 2nd Street Theater, is based on a Pulitzer-winning Broadway rock musical that tells the story of a family on the brink of collapse. Diana Goodman is trying to be a good mother and an attentive wife, even as her bipolar disorder worsens by the day. She is hallucinating and sinking deeper into despondency, desperately trying to find the perfect pharmacological cocktail to make everything run a little brighter. Her husband Dan so very much wants his family to return back to normal, that anything outside of that perfect ideal is ignored or fought. Her daughter Natalie is an overachieving and brilliant girl who is struggling with how to deal with a mentally ill mother and a father who can’t connect with her. As Diana sees different doctors to try to find peace and Natalie meets a sweet stoner who introduces drugs as a way to numb the pain, the family falls apart one song at a time. Every square inch of the play is focused squarely on pain and the way a suburban American family goes about alleviating it. Since most of the dialogue is sung, “Les Mis”-style, that means the lyrical content is filled with some of the bravest

and most heartrending emotion that has ever come out of Broadway or the musical theater scene in general. Watching these people gradually lose almost everything is rough, but in a way it’s more cathartic than depressing. The performances are uniformly strong, with Caitlin Ford, Ryan Klontz, Steven Livingston, Katie Bullock, John Kish and Ben Larson all reaching the heights and depths needed to make these characters breathe. The small, yet powerful orchestra swelled and subsumed flawlessly under the excellent Meagan Iverson’s musical direction. This show could have been a spectacular failure if the subject matter and the rock opera aesthetic had clashed, but director Brad Ruder never lets the show flounder in its seriousness. The set is kept simple and sparse so the audience is forced to deal with the emotions head-on without any superfluous frills to draw attention. “Next to Normal” doesn’t have any easy answers for the tough questions that plague these characters. Instead, the show sheds light on avenues for communication. It helps create a dialogue for people dealing with these issues that they might not have had before, and

leaves viewers more enlightened through the process. In a town the size of Bend, it’s difficult to know which shows will sell and which will leave seats empty with talented casts performing to an audience smaller in number than they are. For every success like “Evil Dead: The Musical” there is something like “Shadowbox” or “Bug” that, regardless of how successful artistically, the audience just doesn’t come out for. One of the main reasons for that is the promise of fun. A night out at the theater for some people can be a production in and of itself: finding a babysitter, forking out the cash and sometimes even just putting on pants, so it can be hard to pull that audience in if the subject matter is going to be serious or uncomfortable. “Next to Normal” stacks the deck with so much talent (vocal, instrumental and otherwise), that even in the midst of such powerful work, it is still a very good time. SW “Next to Normal” Feb. 12-27, 7:30 p.m., matinees at 3 p.m. 2nd Street Theater, 220 NE Lafayette Ave., Bend $19-$22.

Bend will recognize the Day of Remembrance this year with a special event, Collections Up Close: Letters from Beyond the Fence. Using letters collected from his relatives, Weston Nakamura-Koyama will discuss his family’s time in Minidoka, a relocation center in Idaho that held over 9,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. This presentation will be held at the Downtown Bend Library from 2-3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20. Nakamura-Koyama is a museum collections volunteer at the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, a Japanese American history museum in Portland. Todd Mayberry, the director of collections and exhibits at the center, says Nakamura-Koyama’s story is especially important during this time. “Artifacts can give voice to family heartbreak and loss and inspire a new generation to share the stories they can tell,” he says in a press release. “We need timely reminders of past injustices to prevent future mistakes.” The free event is presented in conjunction with Deschutes Public Library, the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project, and the Japanese Association of Central Oregon (JASCO). Any disabled attendees who require accommodations should contact Liz Goodrich at 541-3121032.

Paleo Eats Caveman Treats Primitive power for present-day people By Angela Moore

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / February 18, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Debbie Fred sits proudly with her products. Cash Fred, age 5, insists that he wants to eat his Paleo Eats bar “…now, mom!"

aleo Eats is the creation of Central Oregon multitasking mom-turned-entrepreneur, Debbie Fred. It’s said that necessity is the mother of all invention, and Fred was not exempt from that rule. Nutrition was always a priority to this mother of three, but when she became aware that her first two children had severe food-related allergies, the question of what to feed them became one she found asking herself too many times in a day.

Options for meals and snacks challenged the family as Fred searched for foods that were gluten-free, dairy-free, not riddled with sugar and also pleasing to the demanding tastes of children. Fred saw an opportunity to step up and create, but had no idea her solution to the challenge would come to the rescue of so many people who live beyond her dinner table. The product was at first whipped up in Fred’s kitchen in single batches, then later, baked in bulk by Live Foods in Salem,

Come at any time between 4 and 7 PM to provide testimony, written or spoken. SPEAK TO THE QUESTION: Shall the Bend City Council approve the recommendation of the Troy Field Hearings Officer, who ruled to deny a change of Troy Field’s designation from public to commercial? This ruling, if approved could prevent a hotel from being built at this location. To support his findings, the hearings officer wrote, ”The record contains ample evidence, which is essentially uncontroverted, that Troy Field already provides for multiple highly valued public needs and those benefits are realized over a substantial number of days each year by multiple individuals and groups.”

he Family Kitchen recently received its biggest donation in its 28-year history. Newport Avenue Market, with the generosity of its customers, raised $56,000 for the organization dedicated to providing nutritious meals for anyone in need. The funds raised will cover 67 percent of the food costs for the Family Kitchen’s meals this year. “One of the most important things is that anybody can go have a meal at Family Kitchen,” says Donna Burklo, the organization’s development director. The ability for anyone to be able to go to Family Kitchen for a shared meal, enjoying the experience, without any questions asked, is an important facet of the non-profit. Shoppers donated $25,000 in December, which was matched by Newport Avenue Market, combined with $5,000 in donations from Oregon Country Beef, and 100 Women Who Care Central Oregon, who also gave to the Food for February cause. The contributions are a reflection of the employee-owned company’s dedication to hunger prevention, and the generosity of the customers of Newport Avenue Market.

Burklo has been involved with the Family Kitchen for 10 years as a volunteer and serving on its board of directors. She says the Family Kitchen relies on approximately 250 volunteers and three part-time employees, as well as donations from individuals, churches and businesses to keep it going. Although the mission of the Family Kitchen has always been to provide quality and nutritious meals, Burklo says, “With this Newport Avenue Market partnership, our diners are noticing a difference in the quality of the food.” Regular access to quality fresh food is one of the key benefits of the partnership. Every week the Family Kitchen puts together a list of food and then volunteers pick it up. “It takes a community to support efforts like the Family Kitchen and this would not be possible without Newport Avenue Market customers,” says spokesperson ShanRae Hawkins. “It’s a reflection of the people of Bend,” she says.

here are many world-class beer experiences in Oregon, from the enormous Deschutes taproom in Portland to the forbiddingly large taster tray at the Bend Brewing Company, or the sublime sour beers from De Garde Brewing in Tillamook. (Tickets for De Garde’s anniversary party in April sold out within days). However, there’s nothing quite like going to Astoria—particularly when it’s raining and 45 degrees out—to savor a nice dunkel lager by the pier at Buoy Beer Co.’s tasting room.

utes down US-101 is Seaside Brewing, which would be worth a visit even if the beer was awful. Right on Broadway in Seaside, the brewery is situated inside a 100-year-old building that used to be the town jail, with the taps coming out of the room that used to serve as the drunk tank and occasional women’s cell. That’s celebrated in name by Lockup IPA, a strong one at 8.5 percent, but the North Coast red ale is probably the best of Seaside Brewing’s well-curated selection.

Buoy’s been discussed here before—it, along with McMinnville’s Heater Allen, compete for the title of Oregon’s best lager maker—and thanks to a new deal signed with Eugene-based distributor Bigfoot Beverages, its delicate, German-inspired styles will be coming to Bend later this year. The timing couldn’t be better, considering how much their dunkel, Czech pils, or cream ale will help make the hot days of summer pass much more quickly. (Buoy also makes some neat ales these days, including a German-style chocolate stout that tastes like a rich dessert in a glass.)

Meanwhile, half an hour north of Astoria, North Jetty Brewing has been serving the local crowd at Long Beach, Wash., for the past two years. Located in a barn-style building on the outskirts of town, it’s a very laid-back place, with a taco truck outside and families whiling away the afternoon with a game of cards and a pale ale or two. The Cape D. IPA is the standout, offering snappy, refreshing bitterness without being too boozy, and it’s available in 22-ounce bottles as a souvenir to take home. The best part is that it’s just a few minutes from the coast, providing a chance to work off the calories with a leisurely walk before heading home. SW

When traveling to the coast, though, there’s no reason not to continue with further alcohol explorations. A few min-

Make ‘Em Laugh

Deadpool wisecracks his way straight to the heart By Jared Rasic 27 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 07 / February 18, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Come get snuggly with Deadpool.

n the Marvel Universe, there really isn’t anyone like Deadpool. Created in 1991 by extremely terrible comic book artist Rob Liefeld, Deadpool (real name, Wade Wilson), began his comics career as a villainous killer-for-hire in X-titles like “The New Mutants” and “X-Force.” He’s a ripoff of DC Comics’ villain Slade Wilson, also known as Deathstroke, with a rhyming first name and same last name, just because Liefeld and initial writer Fabian Nicieza are kind of the worst. Subsequent appearances pulled Deadpool out of the basic villain category and into anti-hero territory. By the time he had his own title in 1997, he was a wise ass, fourth-wall breaking mercenary who had an uncontrollable urge to be seen as a hero every once and awhile. Deadpool still killed people, but they mostly deserved it and he found himself teaming up with the X-Men more often than trying to kill them. It was 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” that attempted to put the character

to film the first time. In this attempt, they made one great decision and one terrible one: They cast Ryan Reynolds, but then they sewed his mouth shut. This is a character that exists almost specifically to talk shit while he is creating havoc, and they took away his mouth. This was such a deep misunderstanding of the character that any solo Deadpool movie ideas were lost in development-hell for years. Reynolds had been currying favor to play Deadpool since 2004 when, in an issue of “Cable & Deadpool,” the merc with a mouth describes himself as “Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-Pei.” After the financial success but massive critical failure of “Origins: Wolverine,” Reynolds never gave up on doing this character justice. Flash to 2014 when test footage from a 2012 attempt at a “Deadpool” film leaked online and went insanely viral overnight. The footage was so popular (and badass) that the film was given the green light a few weeks later. Now, in

February of 2016, we have an R-rated superhero flick that shouldn’t exist. Wouldn’t all of that work be terrible if the movie was garbage? Amazingly, it’s not. It’s pretty great.

tough and not to be taken lightly. She is a stronger female character than any that have come out of Marvel Studios so far and gives Marvel a higher bar to aim for going forward.

“Deadpool” tells a very basic origin story for the character, but fills every frame with jokes, sight gags, great acting and a complete disdain for the conventions of the superhero genre. Ryan Reynolds owns this role from the ground up and the fact that he can be so charismatic behind a mask is a testament to his talent. He has been box-office poison for the last decade, so it is nice to see him finally have a breakout hit on his hands.

The movie isn’t perfect. The budget is lower than the average Marvel flick, so some of the computer graphics (CG) are wonky and look straight from network TV. The humor is goofy, crude and somewhat aimed at teenage boys, but keeps the audience laughing hysterically multiple times throughout the film. Regardless of its faults, “Deadpool” is ridiculously fun for every second of its running time. It even ties Deadpool into the “X-Men” films, so let’s hope we can see him team up with Wolverine again in a film befitting their massive...talents. SW

The action is crisply shot and very violent, the humor is juvenile and mostly hilarious (although with a few clunkers in the bunch) and the romance is surprisingly affecting. Morena Baccarin (Inara from “Firefly”) is Vanessa, Wade’s girlfriend before he becomes Deadpool. Though there are some typical damsel in distress beats for her to play, Vanessa is smart,

"REACH FOR THE SKY"

ARCHAEOLOGYFEST FILM SERIES

"THE CHEROKEE WORD FOR WATER"

The newest film in the Central Oregon Trail Alliance Movie Night focuses on a year in the life of Cam Zink, one of the finest free riders in the country. The film is bookended with footage from the 2013 and 2014 Red Bull Rampage campaigns from Virgin, Utah. COTA has a strong track record with picking excellent films, so this should be a blast.

This is a festival of the best films from The Archaeology Channel’s International Film and Video Festival. Some of the films include “Talking Stone: Rock Art of the Cosos,” Roman Engineering: Aqueducts,” “On the Trail of the Far Fur Country” and “Agave is Life.” Nothing like some solid edutainment.

“The Cherokee Word For Water” is set during the early 1980s in rural Oklahoma. It follows Wilma Mankiller and Cherokee organizer Charlie Soap who team up to build a 16-mile waterline system with nothing but volunteers. They bring the community together and inspire a self-help movement across the Cherokee Nation and among other Native American people that continues to this day.

There's not a lot of pride and even less prejudice in this lethargic zombie caper.

“P

ride and Prejudice and Zombies” is exactly what it sounds like. Maybe a little better than it sounds for some and a little worse for others. For most of the population, just the word “zombies” in a title will put them in the seats as the continued stratospheric ratings of “The Walking Dead” keeps proving. What is surprising about “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” is that the film plays the “Pride and Prejudice” side of things fairly straight, mostly to the film’s detriment. The film opens with a delightful pop-up book narration of the alternate history of Britain in the 19th century. The zombie plague has come and most of Britain has become overrun by the undead. The survivors retreated to London and built a giant wall around it and then constructed a massive moat around that. When all of the bridges are destroyed but one, there is only one heavily guarded entry and exit point for London. Planted right in the middle of this alternate universe is the Bennet family, Colonel Darcy, Bingley and most of the rest of the cast of “Pride and Prejudice.” There are five Bennet daughters but instead of being raised as just proper

mannered gentry, they have been raised as ladies and warriors. While their mother still expects them to be married off to handsome and rich suitors, their father is more concerned with them surviving the zombie apocalypse. This is a fun setup, but no fun is had from it. For example, the gentry send their children to be trained in the martial arts. If they want to be seen as rich and powerful, they are trained in Japan, but if the gentry want to be seen as wise, their kids go to China. The Bennet daughters trained in China, studying Shaolin Kung-Fu. This means they are basically ninjas. The film version of “PP&Z” takes itself so seriously that it fails to capitalize on how cool it would be to see five young women in corsets and all the finery busting out some old-school kung-fu on zombies. The movie does need to be grounded in order for any of the proceedings to have any weight, but going at this story in a much goofier and gorier way would have made for a much less dull and dreary picture. Lily James and Sam Riley are both fine as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, but they would have worked equally well in the regular “Pride and Prejudice.”

A sense of fun would have made the unfollowed threads and plot holes easier to forgive. One of the main plot points of the film is that the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse will arrive the moment the zombie plague is truly going to wipe out everyone. Early in the film, Elizabeth even sees them, but when it comes time to address this massively epic storyline, the film ends, leaving the audience wishing that they had watched the sequel instead. There is fun to be had here, with some excellent performances and director Burr Steers doing his best with a modest budget, but it all feels like a missed opportunity. People more excited for the “Pride and Prejudice” side of things might find more to like here than fans of the zombie genre, but neither group will get enough to find this a satisfying meal... on human flesh or otherwise.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI: A film about what really went down in Benghazi is something the world could definitely use, but maybe not in this format. Directed by Michael Bay, the auteur behind the “Transformers” franchise and “Armageddon,” the film is definitely more of an action movie than a political thriller, which most definitely works in its favor. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

45 YEARS: A beautiful portrait of a married couple during the week of their 45th wedding anniversary. When the body of the husband’s ex-girlfriend is found (she fell off a cliff hiking), it gives them both a chance to examine how life might have been if different paths had been chosen. In turns bitingly witty, haunting and potently depressing, “45 Years” is not a film that is easy to shake off. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE CHOICE: Another year, another Nicholas Sparks adaptation. This is about a man falling in love at first sight with his next door neighbor. With Tom Wilkinson in the cast, one hopes it is better than all the Sparks adaptations since “The Notebook,” but there’s just no way to predict these things. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DEADPOOL: Everyone’s favorite merc’ with a mouth makes the transition to his first solo big screen outing. We last saw the character Deadpool in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” one of the most disastrous superhero films of all time. This new flick should not only make everyone forget about how dumb Deadpool was in the past, but create the first R-Rated superhero franchise since “Blade.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DIRTY GRANDPA: This appears on first glance to be another nail in the coffin of the once great Robert De Niro’s legacy, but it might also be a cute time waster. Are we as a society ready to view De Niro as a crotchety and nasty old man, making the lives of everyone around him worse? Maybe, but let us have one more “Taxi Driver” before another decade of “Meet the Fockers,” please. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

THE FINEST HOURS: An adaptation of a true story about a harrowing Coast Guard rescue in 1952. When a huge storm breaks the SS Pendleton in twain, 30 sailors are stuck inside the sinking ship. A heroic coxswain (all right!) takes three men and a lifeboat out to the ship to try and save some lives. With Chris Pine and Casey Affleck involved, this should be a better-than-average survival picture. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HAIL, CAESAR!: It’s about time we got a new Coen Brothers movie. “Hail, Caesar!” harkens back to their classic Hollywood satire “Barton Fink.” This one stars Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, ScarJo and Channing Tatum, and tells the story of a Hollywood fixer who has to track down a kidnapped movie star. This is a solid middle-tier Coen Bros. flick that is obscenely enjoyable. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HOW TO BE SINGLE: Dakota Johnson and the increasingly annoying Rebel Wilson star in this crass comedy about the search for love in New York City. The supporting cast is definitely stacked with some ringers, so this should at least be good for some laughs. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KUNG FU PANDA 3: “Kung Fu Panda 2” was a highlight in the recent onslaught of sequel-itus animated films released in the last few years. Let’s hope this one has the heart and soul of the previous entries, as well as the eye-popping animation and exciting action sequences this franchise is known for. Even if it is only a shadow of the last two, it can’t be any worse than “Cars 2.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

Opening this Spring!

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES: Everyone likes a good mashup, but this just isn’t quite good enough. This takes the actual story and characters from “Pride and Prejudice” and puts them in the middle of a world-wide zombie plague. There is some gooey violence, but it takes itself way too seriously to be fun, especially based on the premise of the film. 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” is the somewhat true tale of Hugh Glass, a frontiersman who gets 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 and then repeat until dry. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS: Lightsaber fights in the parking lot are fun but discouraged and all of the hype was worth it. A definite return to the magic of the original trilogy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

WHERE TO INVADE NEXT: As much as the right likes to make fun of Michael Moore, his effort 20 years ago to bring national attention to Flint, Michigan, should be seen as some downright prophetic work. In his new film, Moore sets his sights on Europe and compares their health care, education and sexual issues with that of the United States. Expect this film to rile audiences just like the rest of his movies do. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ZOOLANDER 2: Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) start working for Interpol to stop a new villain and an old one from murdering all of the world’s beautiful people. The trailer isn’t great, but Ben Stiller movies always tend to be better than the advertising promises (e.g. “Tropic Thunder”). Plus, the original stands up well enough to make us excited to see Stiller, Wilson & Co. fill in this world a little more. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Rex Shepard’s Cascade Challenge

GO HERE By Brian Jennings

A thousand miles in 43 days

Mush, Central Oregon! Now is the time to consider booking a ride behind a real dog sled team driven by a professional musher. Oregon Trail of Dreams offers this unique experience at Mt. Bachelor. Standard trips take about an hour and leave from the base of Mt. Bachelor and can accommodate up to four people or 450 pounds per sled. Children must be at least threeyears-old to ride in a sled and children 3-12 must ride with an adult. Kids can feed and water the dogs along the way and learn about the world’s most challenging dog sled race while witnessing the bond and cooperation between humans and dogs in sledding. Normal pricing for these trips outside of holiday times is $90 for adults and $49 for kids less than 80 pounds. Slightly higher prices are charged during the holiday windows of February 15-19 and March 22-26. Boys just want to have fun up and down the Cascade Range. Photos by Rex Shepard.

ex Shepard isn’t just an ordinary year-round outdoor enthusiast. Even the term extraordinary doesn’t seem to adequately describe him. The 30-year-old Bend native has accomplished more than most dare to dream. A coach at Bend’s Endurance Academy, Shepard pushes himself to the limits of his outdoor endurance and says his goal is to inspire others. He calls his adventures “rexpeditions,” and they include free-skiing, mountaineering, cycling, trail running, hiking, exploring, and traveling. One of his greatest expeditions included a successful multi-sport event that covered the entire Cascade Mountain Range—more than 1,000 miles in 43 days. He successfully climbed most of the major mountains in the range, including Baker, Rainier, Adams, Hood, Jefferson, Washington, the Three Sisters, Broken Top, Thielsen, Crater Lake, McLoughlin, Shasta and Lassen Peak. “The Cascade Challenge” was the brainstorm of Rex and two of his college friends while climbing North Sister. Near the top, his friend Greg Stafford—looking at all the snow-capped peaks north to south—came up with the idea of climbing all of them starting with Mt. Baker in northern Washington and working their way to Lassen Peak in

northern California. After two years of planning and training, the trio set off on their adventure in the summer of 2011. “Every single mile we covered was by human power. We would climb up a mountain, ski down the other side, switch to our bikes for the next 30-80 miles and continue to the next peak, camp, and do it all over again the next day. It was really hard but a fun expedition,” says Shepard. Though the expedition was challenging, the rewards and highlights will forever be etched in his memory. Looking back on the adventure, he says it seems like a 43-day time lapse in his head. “I remember every moment of that trip,” he says. One of the major highlights was an encounter with a black bear near Mt. Rainier in Washington. They were approaching the mountain on their road bikes when they came upon a bear right in the middle of the road. It was no more than eight feet away from the three bikers. “It was scary. At first we didn’t know what to do, so we just waited it out. When the time was right we moved on to a safe distance.” Shepard and his friends captured a great deal of video footage on their grand adventure and, once edits are completed, they will publish it on YouTube. Shepard, who started skiing when he

was three, says he is motivated by his appreciation for the mountains, and he wants to inspire others to enjoy outdoor activities. In addition to his personal adventures, he coaches and is a mentor to youngsters at the Bend Endurance Academy, which connects kids to the outdoors through activities such as mountain biking, Nordic skiing, and rock climbing. “When I grew up in Bend there was no mountain biking academy. I just biked with my friends and my dad. At this point in my life I realize I should give back to the younger community and teach mountain biking.” The academy, he says, is a valuable resource for the youth of Bend. He feels that it’s important for younger people to understand wilderness ethics such as “leave no trace,” in order to protect natural treasures for the future. Shepard has other aspirations as well. In addition to more travel, he says he would like to become a helicopter ski guide or a ski touring guide. He envisions living in Alaska for a month each year, leading helicopter ski adventures, while using Bend as his base of training the rest of the year. Having passed several avalanche and wilderness safety courses, he feels he is close to his goal. View Rex Shepard’s photos and videos at: rexshepard.com. SW

Oregon Trail of Dreams is owned by Central Oregon’s Jerry Scdoris and his daughter Rachael Scdoris, who completed her first 1,200 mile Iditarod, the world’s foremost sled race, through the Alaska wilderness, in 2006. For the truly adventurous, a sled marathon trip can be booked. This is a full 26mile trip to Elk Lake and back on Thursdays and Fridays (only), and pricing for two adults is $575. All dog sled rides depart from the lower Sunrise Lodge Parking area and riders are asked to arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure times.

t was the winter of 1963 that I decided to go on my first official eagle count. National Audubon was starting counts to establish trends in populations, and eagles occupied my life like never before when I was issued my Federal Banding Permit in 1962. I became more aware of eagles because of banding, (finding them shot, trapped, killed by motor vehicles and poisoned by coyote bait stations). Long before that, in the ‘30s, I was a kid on the farm in West Haven, Conn. Eagles, especially golden eagles, were nothing more than images I’d seen in Finley & Bohlman’s extraordinary photos, but they grabbed me anyway.

I think I was about 10, which would have been the spring of ‘38, when I discovered “Birds of America.” That book changed my life! It created a love for books that is as profound today as it was then. It also sent me on a life’s journey with birds that’s still alive today. For almost 80 years, William L. Finley and Herman T. Bohlman keep feeding me on their love of birds. While I was working with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in the ‘60s, I rented a little house on the Finley estate, Riverby, in Milwaukie— south of Portland—and had access to Finley’s vault where his photos and personal papers were still stored. As I sat there immersed in his personal life and accomplishments, I half-expected Finley himself to walk in. A couple of weeks back, Sue and I conducted our annual mid-winter raptor count for the Oregon Eagle Foundation; a route that took us from our house at Sun Mountain to Culver and many points in between. We returned to our

home the back way, via Lake Billy Chinook, the old town site of Grandview and all that wonderful deer winter range that leads one back to Camp Polk Road and eventually back home. Sue took the aove left photo very near the old Grandview cemetery, right in the middle of the public land that’s splendid deer winter range. Seeing those two eagles and about 10 ravens hanging around left no question that somewhere close by a dead deer was going back to the soil, hurried along by those who need such energy—badly—in winter. Events like this provide us with another look at the many-faceted appearances of bald eagles as they go from egg-to-adult. As one can see, it isn’t all one change of feathers from immature-to-adult for bald eagles. First, they go from gray down in the nest to all brown to speckled with gray/brown plumage. Then the juvenile adult male has flecks of gray and brown mixed with the emerging white feathers of head and tail. This will change to dark brown all over with the bright yellow beak and feet, brilliant white head and tail. It’s those varied plumage difference that sometimes throws birders off when it comes to telling the difference between adult golden eagles and immature bald eagles; in certain lighting conditions it’s all too easy to mistake one for the other. But there is no question about different sizes of male and female baldies (and other raptors)—males are smaller than females. We had another occurrence that day that I think is worth mentioning—the realization of the difference between soil and dirt. In my opinion, soil is that

medium in which we grow healthy plants that support a diverse ecosystem. Dirt is soil that has been turned into a single use, or so heavily contaminated by man that it no longer supports anything even close to biodiversity. This was so vivid in so many places we looked for raptors, especially those with long irrigation lines and pivots. That soil has been used for so long for a single purpose—and so pumped full of chemicals used for agriculture that all it will grow is a crop. Nowhere was the difference more obvious than on the north side of Lower Bridge Road out of Terrebonne. That area is used for agriculture, but not abused; there’s still soil there. It was so noticeable as we pulled up and spotted the first red-tailed hawk feeding on a small rodent. When we finally totaled raptors in the first area of about 80 acres, it came to 18 red-tail hawks, two rough-legged hawks (down from the Arctic to dine upon Oregon’s rodents) and a lovely little adult male harrier sailing by. There is only one reason for that plethora of raptors utilizing that small of an area; the agricultural lands had a healthy ecosystem providing habitat for the diversity of rodents supporting the intense raptor population. That said, please think again of the consequences of using chemicals when it’s not necessary, or using them at all. It’s my belief that before too long many of these agriculture chemicals are going to reach our water tables, and that will be a sad day for all of us. SW

BEA’s Kids on the Wall

Three compete at nationals

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 07 / February 18, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Delano Lavigne

Brady Pfeiffer, Mila Capicchioni and Leah Pfeiffer compete at the USA Climbing Youth Bouldering National Championships. Photos courtesy of Mike Rougeux.

outh rock climbers from Bend Endurance Academy (BEA) took their skills to the national level this past weekend, participating in the USA Climbing Youth Bouldering National Championships held in Madison, Wis.

advancing through regional (Oregon, Eastern Washington, and Alaska) and divisional (Oregon, Washington, Alaska) competitions that were held throughout a four-month climbing competition season.

“With this being their first nationals, the overall goal for all three climbers was to have fun and get some experience under their belts competing in that type of event and in that type of environment,” Rougeux says.

Leah Pfeiffer, 14, Brady Pfeiffer, 12, and Mira Capicchioni, 10, all representing the Bend Endurance Academy Climbing Team, competed in the three-day bouldering event in which the climbers attempted to navigate their way through climbs that were created to test coordination, strength, and problem solving skills. “The competition was so tight. The little things made a big difference,” shares Leah Pfeiffer.

Nationals is a major event and for the past six years the competition has been held in big city auditoriums and convention centers on large competition walls that are built specifically for the event. Commercial climbing gyms are too small to host 500 of the country’s best youth climbers along with their coaches, parents and spectators. “It’s a lot different than climbing and competing in a gym. There are spotlights on you, an MC announcing your name and a crowd of hundreds watching,” explains BEA’s climbing program director and coach, Mike Rougeux.

“I’ll probably stay with BEA till I’m 19 and hopefully more kids will go to nationals next year,” Leah Pfeiffer says.

The competition had an “on sight” format, meaning climbers were not permitted to see the routes (“problems”) before they attempted to climb them nor were they allowed to watch other competitors. Similar to most bouldering competitions, competitors were given four minutes to attempt to reach the top of a problem. The winner of each category passed through a qualifying round, semi-final round and finished the finals round by having climbed highest along three problems in the fewest number of attempts. Securing a spot at Nationals was dependent upon each climber

“I was nervous in front of the crowd,” says Capicchioni, but adds, “I really enjoyed meeting so many people and I would like to be able to go back next year.” Confident in the abilities of his athletes, but also aware that the national competition is an unfamiliar competitive environment for his climbers, Rougeux emphasizes experience over results.

Through BEA’s climbing competition team, young athletes get a chance to compete against the best of their peers at the local, regional, divisional, and national levels, and encourage teammates, too. “Once you have a couple of kids make it to that level, their teammates see that it’s possible and see what type of work they need to put into it to make it happen for themselves,” says Rougeux. This year’s Youth Bouldering National Championships was the first national event for all three of the Bend climbers, but likely not the last for them nor the Bend Endurance Academy. The BEA has been training Bend’s youth climbers for years and has developed exceptional programs that encourage young climbers to pursue their love of climbing, including competitive climbing. SW

ADVICE GODDESS Fifty Shades Of Wait

—Slow Train Women are used to men wanting sex right away—or sooner, if possible. You’re being the one with your legs crossed? Well, it’s like offering a dog a strip of bacon and having him look up and say, “Aww…thanks, doll, but I’m good.” Now if these women getting angry with you were just lusty, there’s an app for that—one that allows a moderately attractive woman to swipe a sex partner over faster than Domino’s can get there with a pizza. The problem here is female sexual psychology. We all want to be wanted, but research by clinical psychologist Marta Meana finds that women, especially, seem to have an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. This makes evolutionary sense, in light of women’s need for reliable signs that a guy would stick around after sex to “provide.” A man having an uncontrollable longing for a particular woman is pretty great insurance—right up there with leg-shackling him to the cave wall. Not surprisingly, according to research by evolutionary psychologist Patricia Hawley, if there’s catnip for women, it’s those “bodice ripper” novels. They feature intense male desire for a woman, but not of just any male—a “powerful, resource-holding” one, like the playboy prince or titan of industry. This alpha god cannot be tamed, until…whoops…up pops our heroine, the apparently ordinary maiden. The hunky royal or CEO is so taken with her unique (and otherwise overlooked) beauty and spirit that he can’t help but grab her and “ravish” her. Of course, in real life, we call this felony rape. In romance novels, when the guy is uber-rich and cruelly handsome, it’s the start of a beautiful relationship. So, women’s inability to defeat the time lock on your zipper is telling them something—no, not “Wow…he thinks I’m really worth getting to know,” but “Wow… he thinks I’m uggo” and “That two-week sabbatical from Booty Barre has really caught up with me.” It may help a little to reassure them that you find them wildly attractive—like by “confessing” that you have to take three cold showers and stare at pictures of steamed vegetables before every date. For you, this is the only

The Silent Scram

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 07 / February 18, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’m a very successful guy in my 30s. I had a lot of casual sex in my 20s, but I got sick of the disconnection and emotional fallout. I’m looking for a relationship, and I’ve started waiting to sleep with women (for at least a month). I tell them this, but the waiting thing seems to make them want me more and push to have sex. What I don’t get is why some get so angry at me.

possible way to keep from giving them one of those man-scam long hugs that turns into sex…uh, that is, three weeks and four days later.

I was dating this girl for about three weeks, but I just wasn’t really feeling it, so I “ghosted”—stopped asking her out and just didn’t respond to her texts. Some of my friends said I was mean to “ghost,” but honestly, I think it’s a lot kinder than telling somebody you’re not into them. Why have an uncomfortable conversation when you can just slip out and everybody is spared? —Faded Away Why take 45 seconds to text a girl that it’s over when you can make her obsess about you for two months straight, stalk you on Instagram, and bore her friends catatonic with “Is his phone broken? Is my phone broken? Did he see that drunken Facebook post? Should I have waxed my moustache?” Wordlessly disappearing on somebody you’ve spent more than a couple of hours with at a coffee bar is a kick in their dignity—telling them they aren’t even important enough for you to tell them they aren’t important. It also makes a person go unnecessarily berserko, due to what’s called the “Zeigarnik effect.” Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed that unfinished business causes administrative problems for our mind—leaving it in a “state of tension” and causing it to annoy us (over and over) to get “closure” on whatever’s been interrupted and left incomplete. This isn’t to say you owe a woman a detailed rundown on your feelings; you just need to tell her that you’re done. Ideally, open with something complimentary, and then bring down the ax: “Not working for me.” “Not feeling it.” That sort of thing. She’ll cry, she’ll eat some cake, and she’ll move on. Ultimately, if you want to be kind, a breakup should feel more like ripping off a Band-Aid than hysterically searching for your car for four hours in a multi-level parking structure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “People don’t want their lives fixed,” proclaims Chuck Palahniuk in his novel “Survivor.” “Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.” Your challenge in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to prove Palahniuk wrong, at least in regards to you. From what I can tell, you will have unprecedented opportunities to solve dilemmas and clean up messy situations. And if you take even partial advantage of this gift, you will not be plunged into the big scary unknown, but rather into a new phase of shaping your identity with crispness and clarity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Just one species has a big enough throat to swallow a person whole: the sperm whale. If you happen to be sailing the high seas any time soon, I hope you will studiously avoid getting thrown overboard in the vicinity of one of these beasts. The odds are higher than usual that you’d end up in its belly, much like the Biblical character Jonah. (Although, like him, I bet you’d ultimately escape.) Furthermore, Aries, I hope you will be cautious not to get swallowed up by anything else. It’s true that the coming weeks will be a good time to go on a retreat, to flee from the grind and take a break from the usual frenzy. But the best way to do that is to consciously choose the right circumstances rather than leave it to chance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have cosmic clearance to fantasize about participating in orgies where you’re loose and free and exuberant. It’s probably not a good idea to attend a literal orgy, however. For the foreseeable future, all the cleansing revelry and cathartic rapture you need can be obtained through the wild stories and outrageous scenes that unfold in your imagination. Giving yourself the gift of pretend immersions in fertile chaos could recharge your spiritual batteries in just the right ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Hell is the suffering of being unable to love,” wrote novelist J. D. Salinger. If that’s true, I’m pleased to announce that you can now ensure you’ll be free of hell for a very long time. The cosmic omens suggest that you have enormous power to expand your capacity for love. So get busy! Make it your intention to dissolve any unconscious blocks you might have about sharing your gifts and bestowing your blessings. Get rid of attitudes and behaviors that limit your generosity and compassion. Now is an excellent time to launch your “Perpetual Freedom from Hell” campaign!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking,” said journalist Earl Wilson. Do you fit that description, Cancerian? Probably. I suspect it’s high time to find a polite way to flee your responsibilities, avoid your duties, and hide from your burdens. For the foreseeable future, you have a mandate to ignore what fills you with boredom. You have the right to avoid any involvement that makes life too damn complicated. And you have a holy obligation to rethink your relationship with any influence that weighs you down with menial obligations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and mem-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “We are defined by the lines we choose to cross or to be confined by,” says Virgo writer A. S. Byatt. That’s a key meditation for you as you enter a phase in which boundaries will be a major theme. During the next eight weeks, you will be continuously challenged to decide which people and things and ideas you want to be part of your world, and which you don’t. In some cases you’ll be wise to put up barriers and limit connection. In other cases, you’ll thrive by erasing borders and transcending divisions. The hard part—and the fun part—will be knowing which is which. Trust your gut.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When life gives you lemon juice from concentrate, citric acid, high-fructose corn syrup, modified cornstarch, potassium citrate, yellow food dye, and gum acacia, what should you do? Make lemonade, of course! You might wish that all the raw ingredients life sends your way would be pure and authentic, but sometimes the mix includes artificial stuff. No worries, Libra! I am confident that you have the imaginative chutzpah and resilient willpower necessary to turn the mishmash into passable nourishment. Or here’s another alternative: You could procrastinate for two weeks, when more of the available resources will be natural.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your Mythic Metaphor for the coming weeks is dew. Many cultures have regarded it as a symbol of life-giving grace. In Kabbalah, divine dew seeps from the Tree of Life. In Chinese folklore, the lunar dew purifies vision and nurtures longevity. In the lore of ancient Greece, dew confers fertility. The Iroquois speak of the Great Dew Eagle, who drops healing moisture on land ravaged by evil spirits. The creator god of the Ashanti people created dew soon after making the sun, moon, and stars. Lao-Tse said it’s an emblem of the harmonious marriage between Earth and Heaven. So what will you do with the magic dew you’ll be blessed with?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s prime time for you to love your memory, make vivid use of your memory, and enhance your memory. Here are some hints about how: 1. Feel appreciation for the way the old stories of your life form the core of your identity and self-image. 2. Draw on your recollections of the past to guide you in making decisions about the imminent future. 3. Notice everything you see with an intensified focus, because then you will remember it better, and that will come in handy quite soon. 4. Make up new memories that you wish had happened. Have fun creating scenes from an imagined past. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Most of us know about Albert Einstein’s greatest idea: the general theory of relativity. It was one of the reasons he won a Nobel Prize in Physics. But what was his second-best discovery? Here’s what he said it was: adding an egg to the pot while he cooked his soup. That way, he could produce a soft-boiled egg without having to dirty a second pot. What are the first- and second-most fabulous ideas you’ve ever come up with, Capricorn? I suspect you are on the verge of producing new candidates to compete with them. If it’s OK with you, I will, at least temporarily, refer to you as a genius.

miliar with the iconic children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are.” It’s about a boy named Max who takes a dream-like journey from his bedroom to an exotic island, where he becomes king of the weird beasts who live there. Author Maurice Sendak’s original title for the tale was “Where the Wild Horses Are.” But when his editor realized how inept Sendak was at drawing horses, she instructed him to come up with a title to match the kinds of creatures he could draw skillfully. That was a good idea. The book has sold over 19 million copies. I think you may need to deal with a comparable issue, Aquarius. It’s wise to acknowledge one of your limitations, and then capitalize on the adjustments you’ve got to make.

Julianne Mehl, MA ory,” writes William Faulkner in his novel “Absalom, Absalom!” If that’s true, Leo, you now have a chance to be a miracle worker. In the coming weeks, you can summon the uncanny power to rip at least two of your illusions out by the roots—without causing any permanent damage! You may temporarily feel a stinging sensation, but that will be a sign that healing is underway. Congratulations in advance for getting rid of the dead weight.

mong middle aged Americans, 40 percent do not own homes, with just under one-third of renters saying not being able to afford a down payment is the main reason. Furthermore, 44 percent of younger millennials surveyed said they do not want to buy a home at this time. This may be due to a need for more flexibility when it comes time to move for a job, or financial concerns, such as the burden of student loan debt. A report from Bankrate.com, based on a survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research, found half of non-homeowners cite finances as the main reason preventing them from buying a house. Thirty percent of those surveyed said they cannot afford a down payment, and 16 percent felt their credit scores were inadequate. Often renters are not aware that a monthly home mortgage payment may be less than their current monthly rent

payments, or that there are tax advantages to owning versus renting. Having a large down payment is not necessary either. It is now possible to get conventional loans for only three percent down and there are down payment assistance programs as well. A good mortgage broker can help with the pre-screening process. Non-profit organizations exist to help people overcome hurdles to homeownership. Locally, Neighbor Impact, with offices in Bend, Redmond, Madras and Prineville, offers homeownership classes to those of all income levels as well as the income-restricted Individual Development Account (IDA). Through an IDA, for every dollar saved, up to a maximum of $3,000, three dollars are matched (up to $9,000) toward a specific goal, such as saving for a down payment. Visit neighborimpact.org for more information about available programs and classes. SW

SMOKE SIGNALS

The cancer-suppressing properties of THC, CBD and cannabinoids By Steve Holmes

hat if cannabis can prevent and/ or cure cancer? This is not a question that comes only from the wide-eyed rantings of stoned hippies. There is a substantial and growing body of research published in scientific journals after peer review that indicates this is a reasonable question informed by the best evidence available on the topic.

where smoking leads to a higher risk of cancer, and more smoking increases that risk. For example, people who smoke two or more packs of cigarettes a day are 20 times more likely to get lung cancer. Just like tobacco smoke, cannabis smoke contains several known carcinogens. So why does it appear that cannabis smokers are not at increased risk for lung cancer?

The first question for many people when they consider the relationship between cannabis and cancer is whether smoking cannabis can cause lung cancer. That was the hypothesis of pulmonologist Donald Tashkin of the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Science has yet to answer that question, but as early as 1975 research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute noted that animals treated with THC “demonstrated a dose-dependent action of retarded tumor growth.”

Dr. Tashkin says, “We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use. What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect.” Dr. Tashkin has studied cannabis for over 30 years and his study was funded by the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse. In 2006 he presented the results of his research to his peers at the American Thoracic Society International Conference in San Diego and published the results in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. (Full citation: Hashibe, M. et al. Marijuana use and the risk of lung and upper aerodigestive tract cancers: results of a population-based case-control study. Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. 2006; 15(10): 1829-34.) This “protective effect” for cannabis is in sharp contrast to tobacco smoking,

(Full citation: Munson, AE et al. Antineoplastic activity of cannabinoids. Journal of the National Cancer Institute. 1975; 55(3): 597-602.) If cannabis does slow or stop tumor growth, that would explain findings of research based on an 11-year study and published in the scientific journal Urology that “cannabis use only was associated with a 45 percent reduction in bladder cancer incidence.” (Full citation: Thomas, AA et al. Association between cannabis use and the risk of bladder cancer; Results from the California Men’s Health Study. Urology. 85(2): 388-93.) This scientific evidence led the National Cancer Institute in 2011 to post on its website (cancer.gov) this statement: “In the practice of integrative oncology, the health care provider may recommend medicinal Cannabis not only for symptom management but also for its possible direct antitumor effect” (emphasis added). Unfortunately, this statement was subsequently removed from the website. SW
