When it comes to paying for transportation infrastructure, locals may be paying twice WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 21, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

In Central Oregon, housing and transportation infrastructure represent two of the region’s biggest challenges. With explosive growth in recent decades, people know the housing shortage can drive up rents and make buying more difficult. They also know that certain roads are “avoid at all costs” during certain times of the day, due to congestion. A recent report, “It’s Not About Growth,” developed by the Portland-based public relations firm, Hubbell Communications, in partnership with the Bend Chamber and DHM Research, arrived at the conclusion that it’s time to start “shifting the conversation in Bend,” advocating for people to stop talking about whether growth is a good or bad thing. Instead, people should begin looking at solutions, and toward messaging that can help residents understand the benefits tourism can bring to the region. As the report states: “We found speaking to how certain growth-related activities like tourism help the community invest in roads and infrastructure creates a shift in sentiment. If we told participants in our survey that millions of dollars of local tourism taxes go toward roads and infrastructure maintenance—which they do—70% said they felt more positive about promoting tourism in general.” Figuring out how to draw the line between tourists and the benefits they can bring was an important takeaway of the report. One option for drawing that line: a gas tax, which compels visitors to pay something for the use of local roads. Our editorial board has championed this solution in the past. A proposal for a gas tax failed in 2016, but we hope to see it back on the table sometime soon, following the recommendations released by the Funding Work Group of the City of Bend’s Bend Transportation Plan Steering Committee, released Jan. 30. According to the report, funding tools currently in place to fund roads—which include the State Highway Fund, the city’s general fund, Transportation System Development Charges and others—are forecasted to bring in about $582 million between 2020 and 2040. The group estimates there’s a funding gap of about $223 million for capital uses—the funds needed to build new projects, and that doesn’t even include projects in the city’s Urban Growth Boundary expansion areas. A gas tax will start to chip away at Bend’s transportation infrastructure needs, but it won’t even begin to cover all the costs. Funding projections included in the report estimate that a seasonal gas tax (higher in peak tourist seasons; lower in low seasons) would bring in about $1.87 million per year, or roughly $37 million of the $223 million funding gap. Meanwhile, a General Obligation Bond could bring in a lot more. In its report, the FWG

recommends a bond of approximately $100 million as a “reasonable starting point.” The FWG’s initial funding assessment proposes a handful of “core tools” to fund transportation, including the GO Bond, the seasonal fuel tax, a Transportation Utility Fee, and possibly a restaurant sales tax and increased Transportation System Development Charges as options to explore. That represents a combination approach that spreads the cost of transportation needs across a “range of payers,” including property owners, new development, visitors, commuter and major employers—but with the GO Bond, it’s recommending the largest sum come from property owners. People in our community often complain about Bend’s transportation needs, saying that “they” should do something about it. Local leaders are well on their way toward doing something about it—but it should come as no surprise that the “they” who will be paying for it will be all of us. City leaders are placing so much focus on this funding issue that they’ve gone as far as selecting the recent City Council appointee based on how they thought he’d influence support for the GO transportation bond. Text messages we obtained through a public records request revealed a text exchange between Mayor Sally Russell and Karna Gustafson, co-chair of the FWG and also a representative of the builder’s association, in which the two posited that Republican Chris Piper would be more likely to spur voters to support a bond. Would that, in the minds of the people pulling for Piper, mean the public would see a more “balanced” council as less biased, less tax-happy? Or was it that the people who advocated for Piper—such as the Bend Chamber, local builders and realtors—would only sign on to support a bond if they got the council appointment they wanted? Since that Council appointment was handled so poorly—away from the text messages and emails that are subject to records requests and community scrutiny, we don’t have the information necessary to answer those important questions. Because of this, Bend finds itself in interesting times. Voters may soon be asked not only to support a gas tax, but also to support adding more to locals’ property tax bills in order to fund transportation infrastructure. And as we know, having new roads also helps get new housing built faster. How important will transportation needs be to voters when they’re asked to pay in at least two different places? It may, like the “It’s Not About Growth” report states, come down to local leaders being able to adequately communicate the financial needs to the community, and to tie them to tax-based solutions. Yet after the botched, opaque Council selection process, we have our doubts.

CLOTHING IN THE LANDFILL I grew up in the clothing industry. My dad was an apparel representative for numerous women’s ready to wear companies. He started traveling in the Midwest in the ‘50s and then in the Pacific Northwest until he retired in 1980. Every single garment was made in the USA and tagged with a union label. There were factories in the Carolinas that created the fabric. And there were fashion houses in LA, New York, Chicago and Dallas (among others) that created merchandise. Notice that this was all happening in the USA. Now cotton is grown in SE Asia and China and is loaded with chemicals. This weakens the fabric. Designed to deteriorate after a few wearings and get tossed so the customer buys more crappy clothing. My daughter is a vintage clothing dealer in Arizona. Her biggest sellers are Made in the USA/Union Label clothes from the mid-century era. You know why? They haven’t worn out!! Even if seams have frayed or zippers have failed, good clothes can be repaired. The scam of stores selling cheap clothing is just that. If you’re going to spend money on clothes, check the label. Some companies are realizing that their credibility rises if they offer decent garments made from good fabric and decent workmanship. As my dad always said, “look for the union label.” Too bad this no longer exists. —BJ Thomas

PARTISAN POLITICS FAVORS DEVELOPERS So, even though the Bend City Council is supposed to be non-partisan, Sally Russell chose a Republican to create “balance” on the Council. In this political climate, I would ask Russell if the Council had been 4-2 in favor of Republicans, does she really believe those Republicans would have chosen a Democrat for balance? The true problem with Bend’s government is that developers continue to control Bend—and, clearly, Russell. Until Bend wakes up and votes out these compromised politicians and doesn’t tolerate them being able to appoint more of their ilk either, developers will keep making money off our town (often in the guise of providing affordable housing) and destroy everything we hold dear—no matter how loudly we protest. —Haley Smith

IN RESPONSE TO, “COUGAR KILLING INCREASES CONFLICT” ON 2/14 Although I respect George Wuerthner, I disagree with his criticism of ODFW’s decision to kill a 135 pound male cougar in Deschutes River Woods. The science he referenced in his letter suggests that cougars have a hierarchical social structure whereby older male cougars police a territory keeping juvenile cougars “at bay.” While the science may provide valuable data, it does not lead seamlessly to the conclusion that cougars and other predators should not be hunted. Nor does it constitute the sole criteria for establishing wildlife management policy. ODFW and local law enforcement have an obligation to ensure public safety. Cougars are unpredictable. No science guarantees that people and dangerous predators can live conflict-free in and around human dominated landscapes. Just in the last six months there have been cougar attacks in Oregon, Washington and Colorado. Two of them have been fatal. California, which has a ban on cougar hunting leads the nation

in cougar attacks. ODFW considers not only science when crafting its management policies, but also political and social concerns, type and availability of habitat, human tolerance for predators, and a host of other factors. They recognize that cougars, like other predators are a very resilient species, and adapt very well to hunting pressure. We did not evolve with predators by treating them with a velvet glove. Our ancient ancestors both valued them and hunted them, and the two were not contradictory ideologies. If we are to live with predators, we should not lose sight of that historical perspective. —Ed Putnam

Volunteering on the Front Lines WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 21, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A local attorney shares her story of spending time with migrants seeking asylum By Chris Miller

he situation at the U.S.-Mexican border is something that most Americans are aware of, but seeing it in person brings the reality home in a whole new way. That’s what one Bend woman says after volunteering on the Mexican side of the border. Kathryn Olney works as a trial counsel for SAIF Corporation in Bend. She’s also a board member for Oregon Women Lawyers. Olney said when the Trump Administration’s separation policy came to light, Oregon Women Voters created a subcommittee to inform the members. When the migrant caravan hit Tijuana, Mexico, in November, the nonprofit, Al Otro Lado—which means “to the other side” in English—was overwhelmed with requests for support, and put a call out for anybody who could come help. “I’m not an immigration lawyer, but I am anybody,” Olney said. “And so I went.” Olney said she went to Tijuana for a week in January to volunteer with Al Otro Lado, which provides migrants, refugees and deportees direct legal services on immigration issues on the Mexican side of the border. The nonprofit started in 2012 by Nora Phillips and Esmeralda Flores. Olney said the migrants trying to seek asylum and cross the border legally have to sign up for a number—a system Olney said was created by the Mexican government and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Last November, Jonathan Blitzer of The New Yorker traveled to Tijuana and saw the process first-hand. “In the tent, a group of Mexican immigration officers in khaki vests and orange sweatshirts milled around, chatting amiable with the immigrants,” Blitzer wrote. “These officials are the intermediaries. They kept the list overnight and slyly hand it off to the volunteers the next day; they also relay the day’s allowance set by U.S. officials: a number somewhere between 30 and 90 people, who are then allowed to move ahead to a credible-fear screening in San Diego.”

Except, Olney said, it’s not that easy. People trying to cross the border legally camp out in tents in empty lots or stay in shelters, and Olney said the Mexican government keeps closing the shelters that are close to where Al Otro Lado provides its services. “The CBP determines each day how many people they can process,” Olney said. “The Monday I was there they would take 20 numbers, Tuesday was 60 numbers, Wednesday was 31 numbers… It’s totally random and meanwhile the people are arriving faster than that, so the numbers are backing up.” Olney—who did document scanning while volunteering—said she and the other volunteers went to the town square where the list was maintained about 7am. At 7:30am, immigration officials would start calling numbers off the list, and the volunteers would meet the families and give people quick immigration law classes standing on the sidewalk. “We would do that kind of triage legal counseling right there and everybody else would get a map for how they could walk to the Al Otro Lado offices

her documents, which left a permanent impression on her. “This tiny little thing from Michoacan Mexico—so probably indigenous—short, looked like she was 14, but she was 20,” Olney said. “She had a 7-month-old on her hip and a 2-and-ahalf-year-old that she was guiding. She had the children’s birth certificates, she had her marriage certificate, she had her husband’s death certificate and she had the pictures of how he died. “And as soon as I realized what that picture was of, I had to find a way to stop looking at it,” Olney continued. “But I had to look at it to scan it to make sure it was in focus, to make sure I got it all and she needed to have it because

“She had a 7-month-old on her hip and a 2-and-a-halfyear-old that she was guiding. She had the children’s birth certificates, she had her marriage certificate, she had her husband’s death certificate and she had the pictures of how he died.”

and an invitation to come back at 12:30,” Olney said. Olney said the volunteers would go back to the office to prepare for the meetings by setting up folding tables and mismatched chairs in the 200-square-foot or so concrete floored room in preparation to help people with their asylum case and their “credible fear” interview. During her time in Mexico, Olney said she helped a young woman scan

I just wanted to scoop her up and take her home.” Olney said when she crossed the border into Mexico, CBP agents didn’t stop her or ask for her identification, only scanned her baggage. Not the same experience for Phillips and

Erika Pinheiro—another leader of the group—who were recently denied entry into Mexico, along with two journalists who covered the immigrant caravan that traveled through Mexico after their passports were flagged by an “unknown government,” according to a story in the San Diego Union Tribune. According to the story, Phillips and her 7-year-old daughter spent nine hours sleeping on a cold floor without food or water. Phillips and the journalists’ accounts of being deported from Mexico have reached Oregon’s lawmakers “These are extremely disturbing reports,” Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) told the Source in an email. “It would be an outrageous abuse of power for the Trump administration and CBP to target people for searches based on their political beliefs or because they are journalists. CBP needs to explain what happened in these cases, and whether this was an aberration, or a coordinated effort to punish political opponents.” Olney said that although she’s not an immigration attorney and doesn’t speak Spanish, people seeking legal asylum in the U.S. still need help and that Al Otro Lado needs volunteers. Another group Central Oregonians can get involved with is the Immigration Solidarity Network, an outgrowth of Central Oregon Neighbor Love, an interfaith group of churches committed to immigrant social justice. People can also contact Al Otro Lado to volunteer in person. “It’s one thing to send money, but it’s another thing to go and see and bear witness,” Olney said.

While some of the citations were directed to the manner in which I personally interacted with the chimpanzees, the bulk of the alleged violations were directed to matters that were the primary responsibility of the then-executive director of the sanctuary. I [feel] scapegoated.” Since Day is the owner of the property where the sanctuary is located, she stepped down as president and elected not to renew Chimps Inc.’s lease. Sally Pfeifer, a former affiliate of Chimps Inc., notes, “I have read the OSHA report and it is clear that Chimps Inc. board and management sought to place the blame on Lesley for safety citations by Oregon OSHA. While some of the comments in the report mention Lesley, the bulk of the alleged safety violations were directed to matters that were the primary responsibility of the management of the sanctuary, which was not run by Lesley.” Current Chimps Inc. board member Mike Waller did not respond to our request for an interview, but told KTVZTV that OSHA found, “several safety and labor violations due to Ms. Day’s negligence.” As for the chimps’ prospective move to Iowa, he said, “They will not be subjected to any invasive or medical research. The research... is behavioral and includes puzzles and tasks that are enriching to the chimps, and they will enjoy that.” Former volunteer Tepner worries about the stress that would be placed on the chimps, should they be shipped to Iowa—a journey that she says would

Longtime volunteer Francie Berezo shares that feeling, saying, “Animals at that age cannot handle a journey like that, for that long in a cage.” In an effort to keep the chimps in Central Oregon, volunteers recently formed a new nonprofit, Freedom for Great Apes. Pfeifer, a driving force behind the new group, says they’re prepared to take over care or the chimps. They’ve created a petition to support their efforts, gathering about 4,000 signatures thus far. Day, meanwhile, has signed a long-term lease agreement with Freedom for Great Apes. “After working with Ms. Day we’ve learned that... she lost confidence and trust in the current Chimps Inc. board— not that she wanted to evict the chimpanzees from her property. It is evident that the relationship between Ms. Day and Chimps Inc. is damaged, but the most important thing is to prioritize the chimpanzees and do what is in their best interest,” Pfeifer says. While the issue gets sorted out, Day aims to dispel any rumors that she holds

control over the new nonprofit. “Freedom for Great Apes is an independent nonprofit. Any suggestion that it is subject to my control is false and an insult to the members of the board,” Day said. When asked why she thought the board of Chimps Inc. would rather send the chimps to Iowa than sign over guardianship to Freedom for the Great Apes, Pfeifer relays, “We have not really received a clear answer to this. The Board of Freedom for Great Apes is comprised of experts in chimpanzee behavior, OSHA safety regulations, nonprofit management and primate sanctuary operations and management, and we have simply provided a sound option for assuming the management and care of the chimpanzees so they could remain in their home. It is an unprecedented move for chimpanzees living in a sanctuary to be unnecessarily uprooted and relocated to a research facility of any kind.” The petition aimed at keeping the chimps in Central Oregon can be found on the change.org website by searching “Chimps Inc.”

In this case, though, the prospective evictees are chimpanzees. Since Topo was transported to Chimps Inc., a facility in Tumalo, in 1995, the primate community has been growing. Lesley Day, former president of Chimps Inc. and the owner of the property where Chimps Inc. is located, revoked the lease for Chimps, Inc. after a dispute between the two parties. The board of directors for the nonprofit responded by arranging for the chimps to move to a research lab, Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative, located in Iowa. According to reports, the board’s decision was based on safety violations and the nonprofit’s loss of accreditation by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. Twenty-five-year Chimps Inc. volunteer Karen Tepner says board members told her last summer that her services were no longer needed, for what she says is for no apparent reason. Tepner says earlier in the summer, two caregivers refused to sign a release form, which led to their dismissal. Allegedly, in retaliation, the dismissed caretakers documented and reported incidents of wrongdoing at Chimps Inc., prompting the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other agencies to get involved.

WHEN EVERY DROP COUNT$ By Chris Miller

PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE CLEAN WATER ACT COULD AFFECT THE HEALTH OF RIVERS—AND DRINKING WATER IN CENTRAL OREGON AND NATIONWIDE

Flint, Mich. might be considered the modern-day poster child for contaminated water; images of murky brown fluids, pouring out of taps like chocolate pudding, splattered all over the news. Then-President Barack Obama called a state of emergency over the city’s water supply. Children contracted mysterious illnesses. Lead, byproducts of disinfectants and a cancer-causing slurry of total trihalomethanes were found in the water. But water issues hit closer to home, too. Last May in Salem, toxins from algae were found in the North Santiam River, which supplies drinking water to Salem and other nearby towns. Children and the elderly were told not to drink the water because it could cause stomach ailments, akin to an aggressive version of the flu. Congress passed The Clean Water Act in 1972, a few years after Ohio’s Cuyahoga River literally caught on fire on a Sunday morning in 1969, due to an oil slick from years of industrial waste. The Act, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, passed to maintain the “chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation’s waterways.” It largely prohibits the discharge of pollutants into the country’s “navigable rivers. Defining “navigable rivers” is something successive administrations, special interest groups and the U.S. Supreme Court have fought over since. On Dec. 11, the EPA announced—along with the Department of the Army—its proposal to create a “clear, understandable and implementable definition of the ‘waters of the United States’ that clarifies federal authority under the Clean Water Act.” The issue has ties to states’ rights. “Our proposal would replace the Obama EPA’s 2015 definition with one that respects the limits of the Clean Water Act and provides states and landowners the certainty they need to manage their natural resources and

grow local economies,” Andrew Wheeler, acting EPA director, said in a press release. “For the first time, we are clearly defining the difference between federally protected waterways and state protected waterways. Our simpler and clearer definition would help landowners understand whether a project on their property will require a federal permit or not, without spending thousands of dollars on engineering and legal professionals.” The proposed changes stand in stark contrast to the Obama administration definition of 2015, which aimed to widen federal clean water protections to include not only the large waterways, but also the smaller streams and tributaries that feed into them. Under the EPA’s proposal, traditional navigable waters—like the Columbia River—tributaries to those waters, certain ditches, lakes and ponds, impoundments of jurisdictional waters and wetlands adjacent to jurisdictional waters, would be federally protected. It also details what are not “waters of the United States,” like groundwater and wetlands that don’t fall into the jurisdictional waters definition.

AN “ATTACK ON CLEAN WATER” Celeste Meiffren-Swango, state director for Environment Oregon, said after the EPA’s announcement that the “Dirty Water Rule” is the most extreme attack on clean water in recent memory. “The health of the Columbia and other rivers in Oregon depends on the streams that feed them and the wetlands that filter out pollution,”

Meiffren-Swango said in a release. “By stripping federal protections from streams and wetlands, the Dirty Water Rule would put critical waterways and our drinking water at risk of pollution. It defies common sense, sound science and the will of Oregonians.” “This proposal is reckless,” Natural Resources Defense Council’s Jon Devine said in a statement. “Given the problems facing our lakes, streams and wetlands from the beaches of Florida to the drinking water of Toledo, now is the time to strengthen protections for our waterways, not weaken them.”

A TIE TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING Although most of the environmental groups chaff at the proposed changes, not everyone is against them. National Association of Home Builders Chairman Randy Noel—a custom homebuilder from LaPlace, La.,—said the NAHB commended the Trump administration for releasing the proposed new definition of WOTUS. “By bringing certainty and clarity to which waters fall under federal oversight, this proposal should help accelerate the permitting process so home builders can more easily provide safe and affordable housing,” Noel said in a statement. “Finalizing this revised WOTUS definition will protect our nation’s waterways without adding needless regulatory burdens that will hurt housing and other industries that depend on a predictable permitting process.” Tyler Neese, government affairs director for Central Oregon Association of Realtors, said the

proposed changes provide more clarity and consistency in regard to the permitting and development process. “It is our hope that this rule will provide that, while protecting our water quality and property rights,” Neese told the Source in an email. “But as with any legislation, time will tell. We need a healthier supply of housing, which is generally about six months. In Bend specifically, we’re currently hovering around three months for all residential property types. If we drill down further, the picture is even more bleak— at $425,000 and below, about 1.3 months. In the $225,000-$325,000 range, less than that. To make an impact, that healthy supply should consist of a mix of housing—both rental and homeownership opportunities. “Will this action help get us there? Not on its own,” Neese said. “But if it helps support states and local jurisdictions and creates a path to effective regional solutions, it’s a step in the right direction.”

— CELESTE MEIFFREN-SWANGO

AFFECTING THE LOCAL WATERSHED The City of Bend’s primary drinking water source is the Bend Municipal Watershed, which gets its water from Bridge Creek and the Middle Fork of Tumalo Creek on national forest land near Broken Top. During the summer irrigation season, the City’s water system taps into the Deschutes Regional Aquifer from the Upper Deschutes Basin. According to information from the City, groundwater—which wouldn’t be federally protected any longer under the proposal—has provided about half of the total water production over the last decade, and the groundwater recharge zone along the Cascade crest also feeds the springs within Bend’s watershed. “From what we have read regarding the proposed changes to the Clean Water Act we do not see any negative impacts to our groundwater quality,” Paul Rheault, utility director for the City of Bend said in an email. “We are fortunate in Central Oregon that before any surface water reaches the groundwater table it is filtered by the earth in a range that spans from 600 to 1,200 feet deep.” In Oregon, the Oregon Health Authority and the Department of Environmental Quality are tasked with protecting the state’s drinking water through the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. DEQ’s role is to implement the Clean Water Act to protect the sources of drinking water across the state. In practice, this means identifying the small watersheds and portions of aquifers that collect surface water and groundwater for each of Oregon’s drinking water supplies. In 2015, the Natural Resources Defense Council released a report that stated nearly 77 million Americans lived in places where the water systems were in some violations of safety regulations, including the Safe Drinking Water Act. Another problem, according to a story in The New York Times, is a lack of reporting

when it comes to contaminated water to the EPA. Just last week, the EPA said it plans to control a group of toxic chemicals found in America’s drinking water, but stopped short of setting limits until later in the year. A class of common chemicals called PFAS that are used in Teflon and firefighting foam are linked to cancer, liver and thyroid damage, and other fetal and health effects, are winding up in water supplies, according to a story from U.S. News and World Report. This could pose a risk to Bend’s water supply if a fire broke out on U.S. Forest Service land and fire retardant got into the water supplies. For example, in 2002, a small fire broke out near the Fall River west of La Pine. A Forest Service plane accidentally dropped

over a thousand pounds of fire retardant into the river, killing thousands of fish—and potentially damaging the Upper Deschutes. According to a draft study by the Department of Health and Human Services last year, the risk level for exposure to PFAS should be at least seven to 10 times lower that the threshold recommended by the EPA. “Has the Trump administration so thoroughly purged EPA of scientists, and so completely stacked its management with industry lobbyists, that it can’t even decide whether to lift a finger to regulate widely-know toxic chemicals?” Erik Olson, senior director for health and food at the National Resources Defense Council, asked in a statement. The public comment period for the EPA’s proposed definition change ends on April 15.

SOUND

I’m Covered In Tattoos and I Bang On Drums

The Coathangers drummer dishes on her beginnings in music

Matt Odom

ome people were born to rock. Stephanie Luke and The Coathangers are definitely those people. Starting a band on a whim because of pure passion and no desire to do anything else is pure evidence of that. You won’t get anything weak from the Atlanta-conceived band. They come full force; no regrets. Over the phone Luke tells me about wanting to drum until she’s 90, her early days in music and the band’s upcoming album, “The Devil You Know,” which Luke says is filled with “amazing jams.”

“If you can’t say what you want to say in your music then what’s the point?” —STEPHANIE LUKE Source Weekly: Do you remember the moment or time you knew music was something you wanted to pursue? Stephanie Luke: Well, I knew I didn’t want to have a real job. It was like 2003, 2004, after I tried college for so many years. I just wasn’t good at it, and I hated it. I moved out to L.A. and tried tour managing for different bands and I was like, ‘F*ck this sh*t, this is insane!’ I want to be in the band. I don’t want to be the ‘momager.’ Then I moved back to Atlanta and met up with Julia and we were like, ‘Why don’t we just do this?’ It’s terrifying, but everyone else is doing it. Why can’t we? SW: Growing up, were you always attracted to music? SL: As a kid I was a total band nerd. I played saxophone and violin. My parents did not want me playing—‘young

The Coathangers’ upcoming album, “The Devil You Know” is set to drop March 8.

ladies do not play drums’—so I played all these other instruments I was awful at and sang in front of the mirror like everybody else. Or I hope everyone else. It’s like, who doesn’t want to be a rock and roller? SW: Looking back, what’s it feel like to reflect on the fact you’re doing this? SL: It’s hilarious! Like, I was supposed to be a doctor, a lawyer, but I guess dad was wrong on that. I’m covered in tattoos and I bang on drums. SW: When you were coming up, can you talk about some of the challenges that came with being an all-female group in the punk scene? SL: If you don’t like it just don’t listen to it, ya know? Don’t come to the

show. If you don’t like broccoli, don’t eat broccoli! If you don’t agree with what we’re saying then just look away. At the same time I feel like it’s hard for any band, female, male or whatever. All we want is just to have an equal playing field. It’s not about being treated more special than anyone else. SW: Right now you have two new singles out from your upcoming album. Both of them make pretty strong statements. Can you talk a little about each? SL: There’s “Bimbo" and “F The NRA.” “Bimbo” is just a weird little song. It’s a fun little ditty. It sounds like a really happy song but it’s not that happy. We chose it because it’s a good balance with the other songs on the album.

“F The NRA” is pretty obvious. Julia wrote the lyrics to that and I think she did it in such a beautiful way. It’s not about being angry, it’s just about – we haven’t been too political in the past and this album we were just like, ‘f*ck it.’ There’s so much to say. We shouldn’t be afraid to say what we want to say in this country. It’s just how we feel. If you can’t say what you want to say in your music then what’s the point?

t’s not often people can say that they’re living out their high school dreams. Of the people who are, most would say they’re the lucky ones. It’s especially a great achievement when the dreams are met alongside your friends. For alternative rock band Aqueous, early dreams formed in Buffalo, N.Y., have become today’s reality. “When we first started out, we didn’t know what we would be able to do with it or what we wanted to do. We all just really loved music and so it was just a gradual progression,” says multi-instrumentalist Dave Loss. “We continued on that path and everything continued to grow and get better. We were a little nervous or whatever, but the thing is, this is what we love, this is what we have a passion for. Let’s just do it.” Aqueous’ latest album, “Color Wheel,” is some of the band’s best work to date. The songs deliver a variety of genre inspiration, even throwing some hip-hop and electronic-rooted beats into the mix. One of the prime examples of this is on “Split The Difference,” a three-minute instrumental perfect for getting your mind into a far-out zone. “It was probably the most proud we’ve been with an album. It’s definitely the best thing I think we’ve done so far,” Loss says of “Color Wheel.” “Just as far as the songwriting that went into it and the songs we put on there, the overall sound of the album and just the overall package we achieved was really nice. And our fans have really enjoyed it as well,” Loss says. Along with “Color Wheel,” Aqueous

released a live album titled “Element III” that sits as a series of “best of” performances from the Color Wheel Tour, featuring songs from a variety of albums. “Element III” really sheds a light on what Aqueous brings to the table as a group of performers. My personal favorite cut is called “Kitty Chaser: Explosions,” a 25-minute long run that was played in Chicago, Ill. It’s definitely a high-octane affair.

“It was probably the most proud we’ve been with an album.” —DAVE LOSS “Another thing that was really cool about that album is it was a lot of songs we hadn’t played live before,” Loss says of “Element III.” “That was the main thing we wanted to do with that album. Present a new piece and whole new album of music fans have never heard before. It yielded some nice results.” Aqueous is currently working on some new music—as the band always is—but there’s nothing set in stone just yet. For now you can catch them with Big Something at the Volcanic Theatre Pub Feb 23. Aqueous+Big Something Sat., Feb. 23. 9pm Volcanic Theatre Pub 70 SW Century Dr. Bend bendticket.com $12

We host MUSE Conference each year as an opportunity to celebrate and support those who are creating positive social change in a variety of ways â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, teachers, healers, local leaders, global activists, and movement builders. We believe equality, justice, and social change are issues that should bring us all together regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, and socio-economic background. We are honored to be bringing so many powerful, diverse voices to our MUSE Conference stage for our 7th year. WORLD MUSE has seen enormous growth in our year-round programming the past decade. We now have 15 MUSE Clubs in schools across Central Oregon, we host weekly MUSE Meetups, our MUSE Makers Program has funded over $40,000 to social change projects created by women and girls, and our MUSE Community Events are allowing us to partner with local service providers to give our community the opportunity to be in dialogue around important issues. We believe much of this growth has been inspired by MUSE Conference. Thank you for being a part of it. And thank you for once again taking the time to gather together in support and celebration of women and girls. We look forward to exploring our individual and collective stories and deepening our sense of belonging to each other and to the movement leading us forward. Muse On, Amanda Stuermer, MUSE Founder

WORLD MUSE believes women and girls can change the world. Our year-round programming includes MUSE Conference, MUSE Camp, MUSE clubs and MUSE Maker Program which provides small seed grants and mentoring to support women and girls who are ready to create their own social change projects. Throughout the year, we also offer special MUSE Events and weekly MUSE Meetups to encourage community connection, support, and inspiration. theworldmuse.org

S ALON SPOTLIGHT W H AT D O E S A L LY S H I P M E A N T O Y O U ? My allyship is not self-professed and is not a given each day, as much as I may try to have good intentions and positive impact. Instead, it’s an external acknowledgment from people outside of my own identity, from individuals of different backgrounds that I learn from, am responsive to and stand in solidarity with while taking informed and reflective action, towards collective liberation for each of us.

TEEN SPOTLIGHT W H AT D O E S M U S E M E A N T O Y O U ? Muse has given me an accessible, safe space to learn how girls in our generation can use our voice powerfully in the world now, and in our future. We don’t know what will happen in the future, but as a society we are slowly learning that women will be a huge part of it. I can tell this is true from all the strong, aspiring, growing females I know from Muse.

LIBBY FINDLING

Libby is a Muse Club Member and student in Bend. She is an accomplished actor, musician, comedienne, writer and storyteller. In the future, she hopes to create songs, films and more books.

PRESENTER SPOTLIGHT CECILE RICHARDS Cecile Richards— president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund for more than a decade, and daughter of the late Governor Ann Richards, has published her memoir Make Trouble, a blueprint for budding activists. From the time Richards was a girl, she had a front-row seat to observe the rise of women in American politics. She watched her mother, Ann, transform from a housewife to an electrifying force in the Democratic party who made a name for herself as the straight-talking, truth-telling governor of Texas. But Richards also witnessed the pitfalls of public life that are unique to women. Her experiences paint a powerful portrait of the misogyny, sexism, fake news, and even the threat of violence confronting those who challenge authority. As a young woman, Richards worked as a labor organizer alongside women earning minimum wage, and learned that those in power don’t give it up without a fight. Now, after years of advocacy, resistance, and progressive leadership, she shares her story for the first time— from the joy and heartbreak of activism to the challenges of raising kids, having a life, and making change, all at the same time. She shines a light on the people and lessons that have gotten her through good times and bad, and encourages women to take risks, make mistakes, and make trouble along the way.

MUSE THANKS We’d like to extend a special thank you to the Bend Cultural Tourism Fund.

Oregon civil rights activist Kathleen Saadat is one of the state’s most respected and admired leaders. A graduate of Reed College, she has been on the front lines of political and social activism for over 40 years. She was the Affirmative Action Director of Oregon under Governor Neil Goldschmidt, and was one of the drafters of the Portland Civil Rights Ordinance. She has tirelessly worked for social justice, advocating for people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, and the economically disadvantaged, among others.

Aalayah Eastmond, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas senior, was one of several witnesses who spoke before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the fourth day of confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh, who in 2011 dissented in a District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that upheld the city’s gun registration law and ban on semi-automatic weapons.

PRESENTER SPOTLIGHT DANI BURT Dani Burt is the first known female above knee amputee surfer in the world and one of the first to design a prosthetic surf leg. She has been competing against male competitors since 2010. In 2016, she was crowned the U.S. Adaptive Surfing Champion, defeating male competitors. In 2017, Dani competed in an all women’s division for the first time in the history of adaptive surfing. She was crowned the first ever women’s World Adaptive Surfing Champion at the ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championships. The achievement Dani has been most proud of was advocating for gender equality in adaptive surfing. In 2018, she was able to encourage ISA to rectify it’s rules and regulations to exclude gender discrimination. She succeeded in changing the course of history.

The Bend Cultural Tourism Fund (BCTF) is a grant program dedicated to enhancing the local economy through the promotion and cultivation of Bend’s cultural tourism programs. Grants allocated through the BCTF support art and culture based projects and programs that attract tourists to the City of Bend. Visit Bend established the BCTF with the goal of attracting cultural tourists during the shoulder seasons and winter months – a time of year when the city’s tourism industry struggles, yet a time when cultural tourism organizations are most active. MUSE Conference is supported in part by a grant from the Bend Cultural Tourism Fund.

In 1997, Tarana Burke sat across from a 13-year-old girl who had been sexually abused. The young girl was explaining her experience, and it left Ms. Burke speechless. That moment is where the Me Too campaign was born. “I didn’t have a response or a way to help her in that moment, and I couldn’t even say ‘me too,’ ” Ms. Burke said. “It really bothered me, and it sat in my spirit for a long time,” she added. Ten years after that conversation, Ms. Burke created Just Be Inc., a nonprofit organization that helps victims of sexual harassment and assault. She sought out the resources that she had not found readily available to her 10 years before and committed herself to being there for people who had been abused. And she gave her movement a name: Me Too. Tarana will be joining us in person this year for a special conversation with Rachel Cargle. We are honored to celebrate her as a movement maker.

PRESENTER RACHEL CARGLE Rachel Cargle’s signature workshop explores the history of feminism through the lens of race. Uncover layers of unlearned details, revealing the problematic effects that white centered activism has had on the past and present of the feminist movement and action items you can take to be more intentional and inclusive. *Pre-registration is required for this event.

A Community Thread: Shimiko Montgomery

A Community Thread: What matters to you? Shimiko Montgomery: Personally, what matters to me most is family. But when I think of outside of just my family here, what matters to me most is that people are cared for. And I really think that’s the bottom line. If you’re gonna exist in this world, you need to know that you matter, that you’re valued, that your needs are being met. I feel like there’s so many people in this world that we can all sort of support one another. And so, finding ways to do that in my life has been what matters to me most. What matters to me most are these relationships. It’s making sure other people are cared for. I see so often there are groups around town that kind of are excluded or they’re not quite valued for who they are or people make assumptions about them or these face-value judgments and that really gets under my skin because these are all people

ACT: What do we mean to each other? SM: I think ultimately everyone wants to belong. Everyone has something to contribute to that. So

ARTWATCH

I G H T

— Shimiko Montgomery

it’s not just them personally, like they need to belong. Fulfilling that— everybody wants to feel like they’re contributing. But then also, I don’t feel like our community is whole—I don’t feel like our world is whole— unless every person is realized for who they are. When we were living in Bali, the expat community was constantly cracking me up because they weren’t like accountants or store owners or doctors. They had found kind of their one little niche. One lady, all she did was design labyrinths. And then another lady, all she did was colon cleanses. You know what I mean? They found their passion. They were living it and they were living it the way that they wanted to live it. And I love that about Bali. And I think that’s ultimately what I want to see here— that people are living into their fullest potential and who they feel like they were meant to be. We need to build on those connections.

ACT: What does community mean to you? SM: It’s a space for us to belong. There’s so many different communities that I would say I’m a part of. You have the community at large and then I have my church community and then I have my community of mom friends. Of course, you have your virtual community of Facebook and people that you’ve known throughout your life. Community is just a space where I feel like I am a part of something, in a variety of different ways. You know, we’re all multi-faceted like that. We’re not just a resident or a homeowner. I’m not just a Christian. I’m not just a mom. You know, I’m not just someone who’s traveled to a variety of places. I’m all those people. And so, to be a part of all these different communities and to belong to all those different communities kind of feeds my soul in variety of different ways. Community, for me, is everything.

Watercolor Wednesdays with Know Jo(e): Painting with Coffee Workshop Sagebrushers Art Society

Low Risk, High Reward Art Classes Try out your creativity By Teafly Peterson Recently, I directed a stage performance of The Vagina Monologues. We had a cast of almost 30 women, approximately half of whom had never in their lives set foot on stage to perform. Brave. The process reminded me how risky it feels for some people to create art. I forget, as I create art every day and often only stop to eat, watch a movie or write this column. It’s unfortunate that making or practicing art feels out of reach for some people, because art is actually

something everyone can do, regardless of what materials are in front of them or their own abilities or talents. But stepping into a room, where you are unsure what you’ll find, can feel intimidating. The truth is, I have never seen anyone walk away from an art class regretting that they did that. Usually, the regret goes the other way. Here is a list of upcoming art classes taught in our community by people who love art and teach art in very accessible ways.

The Sagebrushers Art Society has been around since before the majority of people who live in Bend even knew Bend existed—1952 to be exact. They’ve been a source for artists to connect and learn. Participants need their own supplies for this class and should bring a photo to work from. The fee is just $10 and you may find that you’ll want to jump in and become a member and take advantage of the other great classes they offer throughout the year.

I have written about Karen Eland’s classes before, but now the Deschutes Public Library is offering you a chance to try it out for free! Eland has a wonderful practice of teaching that’s so easy and accessible, you won’t view coffee or paint the same way again. Because it involves painting with just one medium, students learn all about paint color gradation and layers of paint can build up to create an image. Plus, participants go home with a small painting they won’t be embarrassed by!

By Joshua Langlais that are part of our community. I don’t feel like we can be a whole community without getting to know each one of these people. When I think of downtown, where you have these teenagers—kids, really—who are sort of hanging around that walkway area and they hang out by Mirror Pond. You know, there’s people in our community that feel like those people need to go. And it’s things like that that matter to me. Those are people. Those are kids. They have parents. They have hopes and dreams and lives that they want to live. And how can we bring them into the fold? How can we care for everybody in this community—not just me and my neighbors and the people that I care about? How can everybody here live into the fullness of who they are? And how can we support that and encourage that? And those are the sort of things that matter to me and kind of shape the work that I do and how I spend my days and what I choose to spend my time on.

I don’t feel like our community is whole— I don’t feel like our world is whole— unless every person is realized for who they are.

Valuing family; fostering relationships Editor's Note: Joshua Langlais is a local photographer and the creator of A Community Thread, a project for which he interviews folks on the subject of community, its importance and how we function as individuals within it. This is an excerpt from his interview with Shimiko Montgomery from March of 2018. Shimiko, like many of us, has many descriptors, but when asked her title, she is likely to smile and tell you her name and that she is a mother to her three children.

The appetizers, sweet and sour Korean chicken bitz and crispy, sweet brussels sprouts, were so delicious I didn’t want to share.

ehind Jimmy John’s in the Old Mill, where Barre 3 used to be, is a new restaurant, Boxwood Kitchen & Supper Club. If the name sounds familiar it’s because you may have ordered from the delivery service, or may have seen the boxed salads and vegetarian entrees at Market of Choice and Newport Market. The company, started by Rian Welch and Eric Rud two years ago, has evolved into Boxwood Kitchen & Supper Club, a modern take on the classic supper club. “We want to make good food with interesting flavors,” said Welch, “and have something for everyone.” Welch has a background in marketing and Rud is a chef and serial entrepreneur in the food industry, with food truck and restaurant experience. What is a supper club? It can be a traditional restaurant serving as a social club where people meet around a common interest. Typically, supper clubs have a posh image even if their prices are accessible. In modern terms, a supper club can refer to underground restaurants: pop-up restaurants, guestaurants, speakeasies, guerrilla restaurants and home bistros. Boxwood Kitchen is the latter. They focus on comfort, and a great environment to eat with family and friends. If “supper club” wasn’t on the exterior signage there are no interior clues as to what makes the restaurant a supper club. They play a movie without sound or subtitles above the bar—unique to Bend, but the same concept is at Bollywood Theater, an Indian restaurant, in Portland. The restaurant interior is large

The scratch bloody and the Gompers gimlet were easy-to-drink, balanced cocktails.

and airy with plenty of space between tables. Open for lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends, the menu is New American with plenty of comfort food options. I dined with a few friends for brunch. One was gluten free, and while she had some menu options, we had to ask the waitress what they were. If the menu indicated which dishes were gluten free or vegetarian it would be much easier for folks with dietary restrictions. We started with a few cocktails and apps, including the Gompers gimlet and scratch bloody, brussels sprouts and Korean fried chicken bitz. Both appetizers were cooked perfectly. The fried brussels sprouts with sesame and lime were crispy and a little sweet. I could have eaten the entire bowl myself. I just loved those crispy leaves. The boneless chicken bitz came with airy, white shrimp chips and pickled daikon. The chips gave a nice crunch to the soft chicken and the daikon balanced out the sweetness of the Korean barbecue sauce. For the main course a friend and I shared the Wagyu beef burger and the fried chicken sandwich. Wagyu is a word meaning Japanese cow, tending to have more fat and marbling than typical beef. Those characteristics made the burger—topped with bacon jam, aged cheddar, chipotle aioli and arugula— super rich and tender. The fried chicken sandwich was lighter in comparison. The creamy poblano aioli, bright slaw and pickles balanced the richness of the tender fried chicken. With a choice between salad and fries as a side, we

chose the salad, which included a mound of dressed arugula. The unassuming, simple salad was packed with flavor—a surprise considering most salads served with a sandwich feel like an afterthought. My gluten-free friend ordered the pork and beans minus the tortilla. Her plate had chunks of braised pork shoulder topped with pickled red onion and salsa verde with a side of poached eggs, black beans and an arugula salad. The pork was fall-apart tender; the black beans creamy from a light cheese sauce. We all agreed the food was delicious. If we had one complaint, it was that the space was dark even though we dined midday. Welch said they want Boxwood to be “a comfortable neighborhood place where you have a fun experience.” They didn’t intend for the restaurant to be quiet and romantic, but the dark lighting gave it a bit of that vibe. Welch told me Boxwood Kitchen has a reverse happy hour starting at 8 pm every night with a $6 menu and those movies projected on the wall. It’s a great deal, considering the lunch sandwiches range from $14 to $16, and dinner mains are $16 to $26. If you visit for dinner, save room for dessert; their sweets are from the ever-delicious Foxtail Bakeshop. The Old Mill can sometimes seem dominated by chains, even though it actually has a few local restaurants. In a town that likes to support local, it’s nice to have Boxwood Kitchen as another hometown option.

Midtown Airstream Coffee Bar

Look for a silver 1960 Airstream in the Orchard District, next to Midtown Market, for coffee and pastries at Cascadia Coffee | Bar. “Two things made me choose the Airstream, really,” said owner Brian Crockford. “One was my interest in the iconic and unique design of the Airstream and the form-follows-function philosophy. Second, the way the adventures Airstream founder, Wally Byam, took these trailers all over the world resonated with me and the exploration of coffees from really remote places. They dragged these things all over the place!” Cascadia Coffee | Bar exclusively serves Heart Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster from Portland.

CRAFT Promoting Passion New Oregon Brewers Guild co-director on Zwickelmania

♥ Party Supplies ♥ Costumes & Wigs ♥ Vaporizers ♥ Local Hand Blow Glass Pipes The 2019 Zwickelmania collaboration beer, a West Coast IPA.

very year, February brings Valentine’s Day, Presidents Day and of course, Zwickelmania—the annual statewide brewery open house, organized by the Oregon Brewers Guild. The Guild has recently undergone a number of changes, including the hiring of new co-directors Tony Roberts and Bend local Christina LaRue. I recently sat down with LaRue over a glass of Ching Ching beer to discuss her goals for the OBG and what changes we may see in the future. Founded in 1992, the Oregon Brewers Guild was one of the country’s first small brewers’ associations. Now with 281 member breweries of all sizes, from all corners of the state, the OBG has struggled in recent years to meet the needs of the many different interests of its members—a trend LaRue looks to reverse. “My number one goal is figuring out what we’re doing right, and where we’re missing the mark, then fixing it and moving us forward.” Her plans include a state tour to visit brewers from farflung parts of the state who have felt disconnected from the historically Portland-centric guild. While tapping into the historical knowledge from the “big boy” breweries in the state is paramount, LaRue is focused on meeting the needs of breweries of all sizes, “making sure we have input from everyone.” LaRue’s events experience working for Deschutes, Worthy and Crux as well as her work planning the NW District Master Brewers Association of the Americas twice-yearly conferences will play a large part in the guild’s future. The guild has decided to kill off the somewhat outdated and poorly attended Portland Cheers to Belgian Beers Festival and is contemplating a new “experimental” beer fest.

“Innovation is where we’re headed,” notes LaRue. The guild is making an effort to have an increased presence at other beer events as well, such as the recent KLCC Beer Festival in Eugene, in an effort to connect with beer drinkers as well as member breweries. Of course, no event better connects brewers and beer drinkers than Zwickelmania. Now in its 11th year, Zwickelmania is billed as a statewide brewery open house that allows beer drinkers, in LaRue’s words, to “peek behind the curtain and get a feel for what brewers do.” Eighteen locations in Bend and Redmond will host Zwickelmania events this Saturday from 11am to 4pm, including Boneyard, Bend Brewing Company and Sunriver Brewing Company’s production breweries —not usually open to the public. For the first time the OBG organized a statewide collaboration West Coast IPA, brewed at Double Mountain in Hood River. Thirty-seven breweries in all, including local brewers Wild Ride, Silver Moon, Immersion, Deschutes, Worthy and Bend Brewing Company participated in the collaboration and will have bottles for sale as part of the Zwickelmania festivities. LaRue says the collaboration beer is something she’s really excited about. “Looking forward, I’d like to build on that,” she says. Proceeds from the collaboration will go to OBG to help fund its mission of promoting Oregon beer and helping Oregon brewers pave the way into the future. Zwickelmania

Once again, Tin Pan Theater is the exclusive home to the Animated, Narrative and Documentary shorts. The lineup is strong this year (especially the documentaries), so let’s count ourselves lucky we get to see these on the big screen. Tin Pan Theater

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL: If you’re looking for fast paced action layered throughout a fairly cool sci-fi story, then this is your jam. If you expect a film to have a beginning, middle and an end…avoid at all costs. A huge disappointment from Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron. See full review on p 29. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema. AQUAMAN: The DC movies have been pretty

terrible so far (with the exception of “Wonder Woman”), so here’s hoping “Conjuring” director James Wan can take a goofy hero that talks to fish and make him badass. Jason Momoa is a beast, so fingers crossed. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

COLD PURSUIT: Liam Neeson once again stars in a movie in which he kills people with a particular set of skills, but “Cold Pursuit” is actually a remake of the darkly funny Danish thriller “In Order of Disappearance.” The film deconstructs the entire genre that Neeson has found himself in, right in the middle of his 50s.

MARY POPPINS RETURNS: Emily Blunt is the actual greatest, so she just might be able to pull off a sequel to the timeless classic. It’s a tall order, but with the help of Lin-Manuel Miranda, this might be a keeper. Old Mill Stadium 16 & MAX THE NUN: A part of the “Conjuring”

Cinematic Universe,” this tells the story of a haunted Romanian nunnery and the heroes that try to re-consecrate the grounds. Surprisingly creepy, “The Nun” is another solid entry in the remarkably entertaining franchise. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U: This sequel to the surprising horror hit from 2017 jettisons much of the horror in order to tell a twisty little sci-fi chiller. Way too much fun for its own good and beautifully acted by future mega-star Jessica Rothe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema. INSTANT FAMILY: Nothing about this movie focused on a white couple adopting three Latinx kids should work, but it really does. Heartwarming, brutally honest and lovely, “Instant Family” is a surprise joy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ISN’T IT ROMANTIC: From the creative team

behind the deconstructed horror comedy “The Final Girls” comes their deconstruction of the romantic comedy. Rebel Wilson stars as a cynic who hits her head and wakes up living inside a cheesy PG-!# romantic comedy. Cute as all hell. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Instead we’ve got a very bizarre-looking mystery/thriller featuring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as exes with a terrible past.

It’s one thing to set up a sequel with a movie, but another thing completely to not finish the story you’re telling in order for people to have to shell out for an eventual, but not guaranteed, follow-up. to make all 20 films they’ve released tell complete stories. Since I’ve been following the development of this movie for almost two decades, all of this is hugely disappointing. Making “Alita” was James Cameron’s passion project before he fell down the rabbit hole of “Fern Gully.” Wait, I meant “Avatar.” Guillermo del Toro was

his has to stop. “Alita: Battle Angel” is the second theatrical film I’ve seen this year that does something that a decade ago would have been unthinkable. “Alita” is about a cyborg with a human brain that teams up with a doctor of cybernetics and a boy she has a crush on to make their way from the ugly junkyard metropolis of Iron City to the majestic floating sky city of Zalem. Aside from a few subplots and the introduction of the pod-racing-with-rollerblades sport of Motorball, the drive for these characters is to rise above their station and earn the right to live in Zalem. The unseen villain lives there with the entire (also unseen) ruling class, as does the real meat of the underdog story. The entire movie builds to Alita finally getting to Zalem, and as she’s finally about to earn the right to go there…the movie ends. It’s one thing to set up a sequel during a climax, but it’s another thing entirely not to finish the story you’re telling in order to con audiences into shelling out for a follow-up that isn’t even guaranteed. Sure, movies like “Kill Bill” or “The Matrix: Reloaded” or even “The Fellowship of the Ring” don’t tell their complete stories, but they were sold to audiences as chapters in a larger story. Also, those examples had complete arcs within the framework of the larger narrative. To have an entire movie building up toward a confrontation with the diabolical and faceless villain and the exploration of a legendary floating city isn’t just a case of defying expectations, but of a cynical disdain of storytelling in general. Movies aren’t TV shows we tune into each week for the next chapter. Even Marvel, which made its bones off of bi-monthly comic books, has managed

attached for a while to direct until finally it fell into the hands of Robert Rodriguez, who arguably hasn’t made a good movie since 2005. What’s even more disappointing is that “Alita” is a really entertaining movie filled with great action and a star-making lead performance by Rosa Salazar. The world-building

is expansive and the special effects are astounding, but there’s only twothirds of a movie here. As a storyteller, the story you’re telling has to end, not just stop. I can’t tell if just stopping is lazy, cheap or a marketing decision, but whichever it is, I won’t recommend a movie that might never be wrapped up. If I did that would make me

The all-day events on Saturday begin at 10 am‚ but if you want to find a place to park you’d better get there about 9 am. Bring cash or your checkbook for purchasing anything at Eagle Watch. Starting at 10, lectures will be available in all areas of eagle natural history and research. The staff from the Oregon Observatory will be on hand both days with telescopes for solar viewing. East Cascades Audubon Society will have a tent up both Saturday and Sunday to help identify birds and learn about the opportunities to enjoy birding.

Awards for research and conservation work with raptors are presented during the morning hours, along with silent auctions and raffles for nature goodies. At around 1:30 pm, families will have the opportunity to build bluebird nesting boxes that can be installed at home. When they’re occupied in the spring, you’ll have the opportunity to be a Citizen Scientist by taking part in a bluebird bird-banding research project operated by the president of East Cascades Audubon Society, Ken Hashagen. The one big change for Eagle Watch this year is the lack of guides at the various Lake Billy Chinook overlooks on the way to Eagle Village. The only place

you’ll find telescopes and guides for eagle watching will be at the park. But not to worry, both bald and golden eagles of all ages come to Eagle Village for the event, and stick around for pictures. The events for Saturday begin to close down about 4 pm. On Sunday, things get going at 10 am and run to 3:30 pm. You can look forward to that same free hot dog feed.

Right after the feast, everyone will have the opportunity to meet the Eagle Watch mascots, with good old Smokey Bear leading the parade. From 1 pm to 2 pm, those interested in attracting birds to their property can start to build a bird feeder and learn the correct methods of keeping them filled with the proper food for the wildlife that will use them. Then—talented artists from Warm Springs, the Quartz Creek Drummers and Dancers—will entertain participants, leaving people with some knowledge and understanding of what music and rhythm mean to the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Eagle Watch comes to an end on Sunday at 3pm with the announcement of the silent auction and raffle winners. New and old Eagle Watch friends can take their time chin-wagging about all the fun they had during the two-day event. Somewhere in the crowd, Paul Patton—past ranger at Smith Rock State Park and the man who came up with the idea of getting Oregon State Parks to celebrate the unique population of eagles that soar in the skies above Lake Billy Chinook—may be heading for home as well, having enjoyed the sight of all the people who came to Eagle Village to take part in the celebration he started.

TAKE ME HOME Rising Interest Rates and Values Do rates really affect your property values? By Christin J Hunter, Broker o the rising interest rates have an effect on the market value of your property? The short answer is yes. Over the last decade, home buyers have experienced incredibly low interest rates, aimed at stimulating economic stabilization and encouraging the absorption of the massive amount of real estate inventory that resulted from the Great Recession. Interest rates have remained extremely low for the better part of a decade, but we’ve been seeing rates slowly rising. The Federal Reserve stated in late 2018 that there will be more rate increases in 2019. What will those rate increases look like? We don’t know, but the vast majority of economists agree we’ll continue to see rates rise at a modest rate throughout 2019. Matthew Gardner, chief economist for Windermere Real Estate, currently forecasts that 30-year fixed rates will end 2019 right around 5.3 percent. Presently rates are holding steady in the 4.5 percent range. For every 1 percent increase in mortgage rates, purchasing power drops by 10 percent; thus, peoples’ budgets drop by 10 percent. Let’s say you’re looking at purchasing a $500,000 home at an interest rate of 4.3 percent right now, but you decide to wait until next year to buy, when the rate is at 5.3 percent. You’re now only qualified to purchase a home for $450,000. Keep in mind, this is a rudimentary example. So, what does this mean for the

Beth Melner 541-907-6035

market value of your home, specifically in Bend. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the Bend market is one of the least affordable in the country, outside of the California market. NAHB’s data suggests that just 26.5 percent of households making a median income can afford to purchase a median-priced home in Bend. As such, any increase in rates could have a dampening effect on home price growth. Does this mean we’re going to experience massive price adjustments and the downfall of the market? The simple answer is no. What it does signify is a trend toward a more neutral market. In 1999 the 30-year fixed rate was at 7.8 percent. People didn’t stop buying homes because the rate was that high. Properties continued to appreciate at a steady rate and it was a healthy market. The rising interest rates will have an effect on the buyer pool. As explained in the example above, buyers who could afford $500,000 this year may likely only be able to purchase a $450,000 home, thus, shrinking the available buyer pool. When the buyer pool shrinks, the more competitive your pricing needs to be to attract a buyer, there again having that dampening effect on home price growth. When working with your real estate professional, it’s important to consider all factors when pricing your home. Rising interest rates are not just the buyers’ component to consider, but a seller’s too.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS No Girls Allowed

I’m a female comic, so being smart and funny and having a strong personality is basically my job, as well as who I am. A friend had me stop by his business meeting at a cafe so he could introduce me to his client he was hoping to set me up with. I tend to show off when I’m nervous (going big, loud, and funny), and I apparently terrified the guy. My friend scolded me, telling me it’s a turnoff for men to have to compete with a woman. Come on! I’d be thrilled to have a partner who is smarter and funnier. Shouldn’t men be like that, too? —Bummed

As a powerful, confident woman, you can make a man feel like a real animal: a Chihuahua in a bee suit nervously peeking out of a little old lady’s purse. Social science research finds that there’s a bit of a chasm between what men think they want in a female partner and what they actually end up being comfortable with. For example, when social psychologist Lora E. Park surveyed male research participants, 86 percent said they’d feel comfortable dating female partners smarter than they are. They likewise said they’d go for a (hypothetical) woman who beat their scores in every category on an exam. However, when they were in a room with a woman who supposedly did, the men not only expressed less interest in her but moved their chairs away from her (as if they might catch something from her if they sat too close!). This seems pretty silly, until you look at some sex differences in the importance of social status. Sure, it’s better for a woman to be the head cheerleader (as that plays out in junior high and beyond), but a woman isn’t less of a woman if she isn’t the alpha pompom-ette. Manhood, on the other hand, is “precarious,” explain psychologists Jennifer Bosson and Joseph Vandello. It’s achieved through men’s actions but easily lost or yanked away—like by being shown up publicly by a chick. The answer isn’t to be someone else on a date (somebody dumber, with less personality). But maybe, seeing as some of the big-personality stuff comes out of fear, you could try something: Challenge yourself to be vulnerable. To listen. To connect with people instead of impress them. You should also seek out men who are big enough to not feel small around you—men who are accomplished, as well as psychologically accomplished.

These are men who’ve fixed whatever was broken in them or was just less than ideal. When a guy says “She took my breath away!” it should be a good thing, not a complaint about how he was nearly asphyxiated by your personality.

What’s Not To Lick I’m friends with this guy. Only friends, and he knows it. But lately, we’ll be on the phone, talking about our businesses, and he’ll suddenly start talking dirty (saying sex things he wants to do with me). I just make a joke and get off the phone, but then he’ll do it again the next time. How do I get him to stop? —Uncomfortable You get a lot out of your friendship— but last you checked your Venmo, not $2.99 a minute. There you are, talking about your plans for the third quarter, and there are the guy’s sex thoughts—kind of like a goat ambling into your living room. As annoying as this must be, his being motivated to do it isn’t inexplicable. In surveying the scientific literature on sexual desire, Roy Baumeister and his colleagues find evidence for what many of us probably suspect Amy Alkon or believe: Men, in general, have a far stronger sex drive than women. This is reflected in how, among other things, men “experience more frequent sexual arousal, have more frequent and varied fantasies, desire sex more often, desire more partners, masturbate more, want sex sooner, are less able or willing to live without sexual gratification,” and are often interested in freakier stuff. (It isn’t women who show up at the emergency room all “TOTAL MYSTERY TO ME, DUDE!” about how that reading lamp or Butterscotch the hamster got up there.) You can most likely get him to stop— but not through hinting or hanging up when the conversation goes “what I’d like to do to you with my tongue”-ward. Tell him straight out: “Hey, from now on, we need to keep the raunchy talk out of our phone conversations. Makes me seriously uncomfortable.” There’s a time and place for everything, and sex talk suddenly flying into your casual conversations is like placing your order at a drive-thru speaker—“Hi...I’d like the cheeseburger with fries”—and hearing heavy breathing and then a low male voice: “That’ll be $8.97...and a picture of your feet.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In December 1915, the California city of San Diego was suffering from a draught. City officials hired a professional “moisture accelerator” named Charles Hatfield, who promised to make it rain. Soon Hatfield was shooting explosions of a secret blend of chemicals into the sky from the top of a tower. The results were quick. A deluge began in early January of 1916 and persisted for weeks. Thirty inches of rain fell, causing floods that damaged the local infrastructure. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned, Aries: when you ask for what you want and need, specify exactly how much you want and need. Don’t make an open-ended request that could bring you too much of a good thing.

TAURUS (April 20May 20): Actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges are brothers born to parents who were also actors. When they were growing up, they already had aspirations to follow in their mom’s and dad’s footsteps. From an early age, they summoned a resourceful approach to attracting an audience. Now and then they would start a pretend fight in a store’s parking lot. When a big enough crowd had gathered to observe their shenanigans, they would suddenly break off from their faux struggle, grab their guitars from their truck, and begin playing music. In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll be equally ingenious as you brainstorm about ways to expand your outreach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to Edward Barnard’s book New York City Trees, a quarter of the city is shaded by its 5.2 million trees. In other words, one of the most densely populated, frantically active places on the planet has a rich collection of oxygen-generating greenery. There’s even a virgin forest at the upper tip of Manhattan, as well as five botanical gardens and the 843-acre Central Park. Let’s use all this bounty-amidst-thebustle as a symbol of what you should strive to foster in the coming weeks: refreshing lushness and grace interspersed throughout your busy, hustling rhythm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As a poet myself, I regard good poetry as highly useful. It can nudge us free of our habitual thoughts and provoke us to see the world in ways we’ve never imagined. On the other hand, it’s not useful in the same way that food and water and sleep are. Most people don’t get sick if they are deprived of poetry. But I want to bring your attention to a poem that is serving a very practical purpose in addition to its inspirational function. Simon Armitage’s poem “In Praise of Air” is on display in an outdoor plaza at Sheffield University. The material it’s printed on is designed to literally remove a potent pollutant from the atmosphere. And what does this have to do with you? I suspect that in the coming weeks you will have an extra capacity to generate blessings that are like Armitage’s poem: useful in both practical and inspirational ways. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1979, psychologist Dorothy Tennov published her book Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love. She defined her newly coined word “limerence” as a state of adoration that may generate intense, euphoric, and obsessive feelings for another person. Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Leos are most likely to be visited by this disposition throughout 2019. And you’ll be especially prone to it in the coming weeks.

Will that be a good thing or a disruptive thing? It all depends on how determined you are to regard it as a blessing, have fun with it, and enjoy it regardless of whether or not your feelings are reciprocated. I advise you to enjoy the hell out of it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Based in Switzer-

land, Nestle is the largest food company in the world. Yet it pays just $200 per year to the state of Michigan for the right to suck up 400 million gallons of groundwater, which it bottles and sells at a profit. I nominate this vignette to be your cautionary tale in the coming weeks. How? 1. Make damn sure you are being fairly compensated for your offerings. 2. Don’t allow huge, impersonal forces to exploit your resources. 3. Be tough and discerning, not lax and naïve, as you negotiate deals.

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 08 / FEBRUARY 21, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Cartographers of Old Europe sometimes drew pictures of strange beasts in the uncharted regions of their maps. These were warnings to travelers that such areas might harbor unknown risks, like dangerous animals. One famous map of the Indian Ocean shows an image of a sea monster lurking, as if waiting to prey on sailors traveling through its territory. If I were going to create a map of the frontier you’re now headed for, Pisces, I would fill it with mythic beasts of a more benevolent variety, like magic unicorns, good fairies, and wise centaurs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sixteenth-century Italian artist Daniele da Volterra wasn’t very famous for his own painting and sculpture. The work for which we remember him today is the alterations he made to Michelangelo’s giant fresco The Last Judgment, which spreads across an entire wall in the Sistine Chapel. After Michelangelo died, the Catholic Church hired da Volterra to “fix” the scandalous aspects of the people depicted in the master’s work. He painted clothes and leaves over the originals’ genitalia and derrieres. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that we make da Volterra your anti-role model for the coming weeks. Don’t be like him. Don’t engage in cover-ups, censorship, or camouflage. Instead, specialize in the opposite: revelations, unmaskings, and expositions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): What is the quality of your access to life’s basic necessities? How well do you fulfill your need for good food and drink, effective exercise, deep sleep, thorough relaxation, mental stimulation, soulful intimacy, a sense of meaningfulness, nourishing beauty, and rich feelings? I bring these questions to your attention, Scorpio, because the rest of 2019 will be an excellent time for you to fine-tune and expand your relationships with these fundamental blessings. And now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts.

RY FEBRUA G N I COM

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Michael Jackson’s 1982 song “Beat It” climbed to number three on the record-sales charts in Australia. On the other hand, “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 1984 parody of Jackson’s tune, “Eat It,” reached number one on the same charts. Let’s use this twist as a metaphor that’s a good fit for your life in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may find that a stand-in or substitute or imitation will be more successful than the original. And that will be auspicious!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington is 605 feet high and 138 feet wide: a tall and narrow tower. Near the top is a round restaurant that makes one complete rotation every 47 minutes. Although this part of the structure weighs 125 tons, for many years its motion was propelled by a mere 1.5 horsepower motor. I think you will have a comparable power at your disposal in the coming weeks: an ability to cause major movement with a compact output of energy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1941, the Ford automobile company created a “biological car.” Among its components were “bioplastics” composed of soybeans, hemp, flax, wood pulp, and cotton. It weighed a thousand pounds less than a comparable car made of metal. This breakthrough possibility never fully matured, however. It was overshadowed by newly abundant plastics made from petrochemicals. I suspect that you Aquarians are at a phase with a resemblance to the biological car. Your good idea is promising but unripe. I hope you’ll spend the coming weeks devoting practical energy to developing it. (P.S. There’s a difference between you and your personal equivalent of the biological car: little competition.)

Weed Pusher; Pill Pusher by Josh Jardine

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 21, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

“They sell drugs in the hood but the man he move the medicine/He’ll prescribe you Augmen for everything.” The Roots, “Rising Down” With rapidly expanding recreational cannabis programs here and abroad, it’s surprising when cannabis growers, dispensaries or brands are equated with “drug pushers.” People who do this have never been a part of any sort of weed deal, because no one ever wanted to get high with them. They’re often the same people who oppose expanded access of lab-tested cannabis products until we “do more research to uncover the potential hidden dangers that cannabis surely possesses,” while at the same time not supporting research funding, or changes that would allow researchers to use something other than the uber-schwag, University of Mississippi “cannabis” that federally funded researchers are required to use. Uncle Sam got the weak sack hookup! The goal of the recreational cannabis industry is to develop and grow markets for legal sale of a wide range of cannabis (and hemp) products. Most companies value the goals of wellness and other non-economic benefits, but sales is the main driver, as it is in any capitalistic undertaking. As cannabis becomes

they brought to market in 1996, racking up over $1 billion a year in sales. When the Food and Drug Administration approved it, they permitted Pharma to promote the idea that “the opioid’s... formulation was ‘believed to reduce’ its appeal to drug abusers compared with traditional painkillers. ” Oxy kicked off the opioid crisis, which in 2016 killed 72,000 Americans. Purdue pushed its sales team to urge physicians to prescribe the highest-possible dose, so as to maximize profit, and to tell doctors that “OxyContin couldn’t be abused, and had an addiction risk for patients of “less than 1 percent,” a claim that had no scientific backing. That sort of behavior led to Purdue paying a fine in 2007 of $634.5 million in a federal lawsuit for false safety claims. The new filing reveals that as early as 2001, Purdue President and partial owner Richard Sackler responded to the growing evidence of Oxy sales being responsible for a jump in opioid-related overdoses by suggesting that the company blame those who had become addicted to Oxy through prescriptions. “We have to hammer on abusers in every way possible...They are the culprits and the problem. They are reckless criminals.” When informed that 59 people in a single state had died from OxyContin

When informed that 59 people in a single state had died from OxyContin overdoses in one year, Sackler replied, “This is not too bad. It could have been far worse.” increasingly commodified, the “pusher” moniker seems outdated. Unlike, say, pharmaceuticals. Recent coverage of one of the largest true drug pushers in the world gives rare and sickening insight into how their products are promoted and sold. It’s nationally available, with access to benefits and capital that cannabis is barred from, due to cannabis’ Schedule 1 classification. They are Purdue Pharma, and their product is OxyContin. The New York Times did a fascinating must-read piece in January on the new court filing by the Massachusetts Attorney General against Purdue and eight of its owners, all members of the Sackler family. The lawsuit is separate from an additional 1,500 filed by various governments. The Sacklers are one of the wealthiest families in the U.S. Their name is attached to numerous hospitals, universities and museums—with most of their staggering wealth (estimated in 2016 to be $13 billion) derived from the sale of the opioid OxyContin, which

overdoses in one year, Sackler replied, “This is not too bad. It could have been far worse.” Purdue isn’t alone. The soulless husks of humanity at Insys, makers of a sublingual Fentanyl spray called Subsys, paid their sales staff higher compensation for selling higher-dose products, which even moved their own executives to warn this practice was “dangerous.” As Forbes reports, “The FDA okayed (Subsys) only for the sickest cancer patients, but prosecutors say Insys marketed Subsys to patients who didn’t have cancer, lying to insurance companies and paying off doctors with exorbitant speaking fees.” Between 2011 and 2015, they produced a generic version of Marinol, a synthetic THC substitute given to cancer and HIV patients to do what cannabis does for appetite and nausea, but at a much higher price. This may be why Insys contributed $500,000 to anti-cannabis legalization opponents in Arizona in 2016. Screw...Big...Pharma.
