OPINION Who knew health care could be so complicated?

The 129,200 people in Walden’s district who got covered under the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, for one… If you’ve been in Oregon for more than a few minutes, you’ve probably gotten a hint of the “better before you came” mentality that tends to pervade any conversation about incoming Californians… or anyone from out of area, for that matter. There are those who don’t mind the growth and the influx of people, and those who are squarely against all change. With the introduction of the new American Health Care Act, aka Trumpcare— rolled out for public view Monday—it seems that trend continues. Under Trumpcare, refundable tax credits will be available to people based on age and income, which can be used to pay for health care premiums. The ACA’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions remain—but under Trumpcare, insurers can impose a 30 percent surcharge per year on people whose coverage has lapsed. Under Trumpcare, the taxes imposed on the wealthy are gone—as are the taxes on the insurers and the manufacturers of prescription drugs. Insurance companies can offer a wider range of policy options—something supporters tout as “more flexibility”—but at the same time, carriers will be allowed to pay for less of the bill. As for the 400,000 Oregonians who found themselves able to get insurance due to the expansion of Medicaid (part of the Oregon Health Plan), you, friends, get to experience the power of “better before you came” first-hand. Under Trumpcare, those who are enrolled before 2020 will stay enrolled. “None of those people will have the rug pulled out from under them,” Andrew Malcolm, deputy chief of staff for Rep. Greg Walden (R), told the Source Weekly. Walden is the chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, the committee responsible for the rollout of Trumpcare. At first blush, that might all seem OK. Low-income Americans can simply sign up before 2020 and they’ll be OK. Those already on the plan can stay enrolled for the rest of their lives—that is, unless life changes, as it often does among low-income people. People move for economic reasons, for example. They take on new jobs or leave them. “The idea is that those people will get a job,” said Malcolm, and then get covered

through their employer. But when that low-income worker loses his job again, what are the options? Since the Trumpcare plan rolls back the amount of contribution by the federal government to pre-ACA levels, the burden to pay for the difference goes back to the state—that is, if the state chooses to go that route. Even before these changes, Oregon was facing a shortfall in funding its portion of the Medicaid/Oregon Health Plan programs. Where’s that money going to come from now? “This bill sends a loud and clear message: tax cuts for special interests and the wealthy matter more than your health care,” remarked Sen. Ron Wyden Monday. “The American people will pay more and get less or no coverage at all—it ends Medicaid as we know it, it decimates state and family budgets while putting America’s most vulnerable at risk, it puts the government between women and their doctors, and it steals money from Medicare to give a massive tax break to the wealthy,” Wyden said. Meanwhile, Gov. Kate Brown has proposed increasing the tax on hospital revenues—which have seen sharp increases since the advent of the ACA—and on managed care organizations and health insurance premiums. Those are lofty goals, but the bottom line is, Greg Walden’s constituents have benefitted immensely from the expansion of Medicaid under the ACA, by having access to coverage. Central Oregon’s economy continues to grow, and that could mean continued job growth, but it will also mean a growth in our population. Some will come for jobs. Some of those jobs will be living-wage ones that offer insurance. Some will be in restaurants, ski resorts and other tourism-related companies that don’t offer coverage. Others will come because they have family or friends here on whom they can lean. All of those people deserve coverage. Today, the Oregon Health Plan provides health insurance to one in four Oregonians—the Oregonians who struggle to pay the bills and to get the care they need to be contributing members of society. Do we want to continue supporting that population, or do we want to continue this “better before you came” game that already divides our communities? Who knew health care could be so complicated? The poor of Central Oregon, that’s who. SW

LIGHTMETER

SAVING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT The Republicans have released an outline of their plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. It should be noted that Representative Greg Walden is one of the principle architects of the plan. This plan will not provide health insurance for everyone and will leave millions uninsured or underinsured. The Republican plan uses a tax credit to subsidize the cost of health premiums. The ACA also issues a tax credit. The ACA tax credit is based on income. The Republican tax credit is based on age. For example, a 45-year-old man would get the same tax credit amount whether his income was $25,000 or $100,000 per year. The credit is not designed to nearly cover the cost of the health insurance premium. It will be far easier for the high income individual to make up the difference than the low income individual. The Republican plan has an answer to this problem. It will allow for the sale of catastrophic health insurance. The ACA requires all health insurance policies to cover a standard set of benefits. These standard benefits will be weakened or eliminated. The catastrophic plans will have high

deductibles and will likely include annual expense maximums and limits on coverage for expensive diseases and drugs. The tax credits and catastrophic plans are a recipe for disaster. The high income individual will use the tax credit to buy comprehensive health insurance. Those with lower incomes will be stuck with a catastrophic plan. The high deductible of a catastrophic plan will put a visit to the doctor out of reach for many. Many people will decide to forgo health insurance altogether. The Republicans should improve the current system and increase the number of people with good health insurance coverage. The Republican plan will leave many without access to doctors and with the insecurity that goes with it. —David Gurule

SWITCHING HABITS It is likely that the majority of adults in the USA both own a dog and eat red meat. I propose that if most of these folks were to replace one bad habit with one good habit, it would help to slow our biosphere’s ongo-

a catastrophic struggle with climate chaos. I’m not saying the alternative offered by Democrats was exactly alluring. Democrats are the middle-aged dude with three kids and a mortgage stuck in an accounting job, but who really should have been a writer or an artist…maybe even a pro athlete. The Dems made all the wrong decisions, all the conservative compromises, stopped striving. They fell for the sure money instead of the risks and rewards. And so, as long as you believe what the black-box voting machines spit out, Americans rejected another four years of Democratic drudgery in favor of daydreams of a glorified past—a past, if it ever existed, that was tarnished mainly by the things Trump trumpets. Unless Americans decide at some point to trust upstarts like Bernie Sanders or the Green Party with the car keys, we’re stuck with the United States of Senescence. We’ll see whether the guy with the flat butt, big belly, and flabby arms can still strike a fast-ball. We’ll see whether a face lift and a hair weave gets you to the prom. — Matt Orr

LETTER OF THE WEEK Matt: Mmmmm... cheese dip! Really, where would we be as Americans without liquid cheese that people can dive a whole hand into? Fun fact for you: The Crock-Pot began its ascent into every American kitchen in 1972... so let’s not try to take ‘Merica back to “good ol’ days” that go any further back than that. Wait, no, make that 1973... the year of the Roe v. Wade decision. But definitely no further back than 1970, the year the Environmental Protection Agency was established... Anyway have some coffee to go with that cheese dip!

TRUMP Who tends to look forward? Those with a future. Who looks backward? The washed-up. The old. The chronically infirm. The fat man on the couch, hand in the cheese dip, boasting about his high school baseball letter. Donald Trump is a rear-view mirror guy, as embodied by his pledge to “make America great again.” Hence rearward we go. Back to racism, sexism, corporate malfeasance, health care for the privileged, and an environment unfit even for human life. The only thing new that Trump points toward is

“You’ll want to try our in-house toothpaste. It’s cut with citrus rinds and then aged for thirty days in bourbon barrels.”

ing rush to eco-catastrophe. My suggestion is for people to substitute walking their dogs twice per day for eating mammal flesh twice per day. The advantages of walking your dog twice per day is that you and your dog get health-promoting exercise and you get a break from following your ant-trail to-do list; and in getting to know your neighbors and neighborhood better, social anxiety and paranoia fade away. If you are cruelly old-school and consider your dog to be mainly your burglar alarm, then regularly walking your dog helps you to understand that your dog is infinitely more: he or she is your completely devoted best friend! Red meat is ecologically and sociologically expensive: it takes many more times the resources to make a pound of beef or pork than it does to make a pound of beans or rice, and fat-clogged arteries increase health care costs for everyone. A tremendous side benefit to consuming less beef is that IT HELPS TO GET THE ECOSYSTEM-DEGRADING, BOVINE MONOCULTURE WITH ITS MYOPIC AND VIOLENTLY ANTI-GOVERNMENT HUMAN COMPONENT OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS! A psychological benefit to eliminating all red meat consumption is the realization that you are not contributing to any mammal’s distress in any way, including its final trip to the aptly named slaughterhouse. Humans must stop treating the biosphere and all its varied components so carelessly if we want our species to continue as passengers of a functioning spaceship for more than a few generations into the future. Dogs are not burglar alarms to be kept in kennels or tied up. All animals want to live a contented life, whether they be human, dog, pig, or cow. A perspective of humanity as an equal part of the biosphere instead of the whip-wielding boss of the biosphere is the necessary psychological and sociological foundation for ecological sustainability. If adopted by enough people, trading this one bad habit for this one good one could be a significant step in that direction. — Eddie Kinnamon

A Growing Problem for Local Law Enforcement Over his 17 years as a police officer, Bend Police Lt. Jason Maniscalco says he has seen first-hand an increase in cyber-related crime, especially with child sex abuse. “It’s a huge problem,” says Maniscalco, a lead investigator at the department. “It has so many different facets,” he says, “you have local predators luring teens in and out of the area, out-of-towners coming in and luring locals, kids sending inappropriate things to each other...there’s a lot going on.” Maniscalco admits it is hard to monitor the large online traffic volumes and says “most arrests are tipped off and reported to us.” The department doesn’t currently have a dedicated unit to child sex abuse and cyber crime; rather, select detectives undergo training in investigating predatory sex offenders. “...we just don’t have the resources or the available officers. We could have detectives, you know, go online and pose as a juvenile, and we would most likely find a sex offender quite easily, but it’s the lack of resources at the moment.” Maniscalco says they’re working to change that, and a plan to combat not only child sex abuse but human trafficking is in the works, although he didn’t comment

on specifics. “The good thing is that your digital footprint will always be there, so we can always find that evidence they thought they think they can hide,” Maniscalco says.

Looking and Acting Like Everyone Else A quick look through Stout’s Facebook photos paints a picture of an outdoorsy world traveler with many friends. The United States Forest Service confirmed Stout was a National Ochoco Forest employee and public records state a Christopher M. Stout as having worked as a forestry technician in Prineville from 2004 to 2015. Those who lure children, “look and act like everyone else,” says Darkness to Light, a nonprofit that works to end child sex abuse. Statistics listed on its website, d2l.org, state that females are five times more likely to be abused than males, and that over a period of one year, one in 25 youth received an online sexual solicitation where the solicitor tried to make offline contact. Furthering that, 23 percent of 10 to 17-year-olds experience unwanted exposure to pornography, with abusers forming relationships with potential victims prior to abuse, by “Grooming," a process that draws the victim into a sexual relationship, maintaining that relationship in secrecy. At the Muse Women’s Conference held March 4 and 5 in Bend, Emily Evans, the director of the Women’s Foundation of Oregon, said: “Perpetrators have sexually or domestically assaulted more than one million Oregon women and girls. That’s more than half the female population.” Women in Oregon experience childhood trauma at rates higher than the national average. The “Count Her In” report, compiled by Evans, states: “this trauma can lead to lifelong mental and physical health problems, lower educational attainment, increased likelihood of juvenile and adult criminal justice involvement, houselessness, and/or suicide.” The report also noted that almost 50 percent of female survivors in the U.S. are raped before the age of 18. A Crash Course in Safety “More than ever, teenagers need a crash course in online safety and social media issues that they encounter on a daily basis,” says Gabriella van Rij, an author, anti-bullying activist and public speaker. “It’s a subject you should have ongoing conversations about.” She notes a Pew Research Center study which found that of the teens who reported having dated, 25 percent had found their partner online. Pew established that 31 percent

Christopher M. Stout was arrested Feb.21 and charged with crimes relating to child sex abuse.

of teens under the age of 17 had sent a flirtatious message and that 10 percent had sent sexual photos or videos of themselves. Experts estimate that number to be quite higher. “That’s a clear sign that this isn’t always nice and innocent,” van Rij says, “and parents need to step in to protect their teens.” She disagrees with the sentiment that monitoring the apps your teen uses may be seen as intrusive.” Express curiosity about the apps and let them explain to you how they work, she says. “You have a right as a parent to be on every app your son and daughter is on…. That way you can monitor what they’re doing… for safety reasons.” In their online “Talking to your Kids about Digital Safety” manual, Darkness to Light warns that parents should “not underestimate the level of sophistication an abuser may undertake to message youth...pay attention to all downloaded apps and their capabilities, even ones that do not seem to be chat-related.” Considering the Stout investigation, Tumblr may not be a typical social app that parents have on their radar to monitor. If a parent finds questionable communications between an adult and a child, the manual advises remaining calm to avoid instilling shame and blame on the victim. Talk without accusation, try to get all the facts and then immediately report it to your local enforcement, no matter how seemingly trivial the solicitation or offense. For further protection, the Darkness to Light site warns against turning on the location services feature of a child’s device, noting it “allows devices to broadcast their location to the user's contacts,” which an offender could use to locate the child. “A lot of this comes down to parents having a good relationship with their teens during what are very pivotal years,” van Rij says. “It’s just another part of influencing and guiding them toward becoming responsible and mature adults.” SW

Applying The 5 Steps

like, a click, a few messages back and forth, and then an invitation. It can be as simple as that. The world of teenage dating has vastly changed since the days of notes left in lockers and telephone calls fielded by mom. Teenagers can tweet their every thought, share their every photo and make their locations known — all while perpetrators wait and watch. Tumblr, a site that hosts 338 million blogs, is a creative outlet akin to a digital portfolio. It can also be used as a place to seek out “love” in the modern age. Tumblr was the alleged recent vehicle of choice for Christopher Michael Stout, a 43-year-old Prineville resident accused of using the site to lure a 15-year-old adolescent into an online relationship. That relationship allegedly culminated into a face-toface meeting at the Doubletree hotel in downtown Bend in late January, according to Bend Police. A few weeks later, acting off a tip, Bend Police say they arrested Stout and charged him with six criminal offenses, including sodomy and sex Abuse, encouraging child sex abuse, luring and using a child in the display of sexually explicit conduct. Stout was also charged with methamphetamine possession. Overall, 75 counts were lodged across six charges.

The Politicking of the Greater Sage-Grouse

9 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 10 / March 9, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Decades of bipartisan effort between public and private entities has led to effective protection for the Greater sage-grouse. But proposed legislation at the federal level could change that. By LeeAnn Kriegh

n some ways, this spring will be like any other for the Greater sage-grouse. Hundreds of thousands of the iconic birds will soon gather at their leks, or breeding grounds, across the West, including south and east of Bend. As the sun rises over the sagebrush, males will engage in their famously flamboyant displays, wooing females by strutting about, fanning their spiky tail feathers and forcing a gallon of air out of twin yellow air sacs to generate a so-called “booming display.” Actually, the sound is more like a loud pop. But this year, even as the sage-grouse come together to carry out their ancient mating ritual, the political environment that surrounds the bird is shifting fast. The results could dramatically alter the future of the sage-grouse and the vast “sagebrush sea” on which its life depends.

HISTORY OF THE SAGE-GROUSE

The Greater sage-grouse may be considered the bellwether, but hundreds of wildlife species call the sagebrush sea home and depend on healthy habitat, including pronghorn antelope. Photo: Jeremy Austin

The Audubon Society estimates that the Greater sage-grouse has lived in the western U.S. for about 40 million years. Before European settlement, the species numbered well into the millions and occupied more than 295 million acres of the “sagebrush steppe,” in what’s now 13 states and three Canadian provinces. During the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800s, the explorers first observed the sage-grouse in Montana and later wrote that they found the bird “in great abundance” from the Snake River to the Deschutes River (which they called “Clark’s river”). Likewise, in 1824 David Douglas recounted seeing “flocks of several hundreds” of the birds along the Columbia River.

As late as the mid-1960s, native Bendite Dave Stowe recalls seeing sage-grouse “at least every hour” when he and his grandfather would visit an area east of Bend near Horse Ridge. “I was out there many, many times, and I don’t remember ever not seeing sage-grouse,” he says. Stowe laughs as he recalls the impression the 7-pound birds made on him. “They looked like Boeing 747s to me when I was a kid,” he says. “They’d fly right up in my face and just about give me a heart attack.” Now, Stowe—an experienced animal tracker who serves on the executive committee of the local chapter of the Sierra Club—says he never sees the birds or their tracks near Bend. That makes sense, given the sage-grouse’s dramatic population decline. The once-abundant species has lost about half of its habitat over the past 150 years. Current population estimates range from 200,000 to 500,000 total birds, with only about 16,000 left in Oregon. The decline of the sage-grouse is especially worrisome because the species is considered an umbrella species. If it’s struggling, so are about 350 other species, from pronghorn to pygmy rabbits, also dependent on the sagebrush steppe. In fact, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service describes the sagebrush steppe as “one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America” and argues that it has been suffering a “death by a thousand cuts” since the late 1800s, with disturbances ranging from wildfire to improper grazing to invasive plants such as cheatgrass.

COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS In 2010, population declines, as well as related habitat loss and fragmentation, led the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to declare that the sage-grouse warranted protection under the Endangered Species Act. However, the agency delayed taking any action to focus on higher priorities — and that opened the door to what became a historic, bipartisan, multiyear effort to avoid the listing. From 2010 to late 2015, western states, federal agencies and public and private partners worked together to protect, restore and enhance sage-grouse habitat. Ranchers and other landowners received incentives to protect sage-grouse habitat on their private lands, and the Bureau of Land Management amended 98 land-use plans across 10 states to conserve habitat on federal lands. At the same time, states including Oregon developed management plans for state-owned lands. Oregon’s efforts to develop management plans for the sage-grouse were especially collaborative, according to Brett Brownscomb, project manager for Oregon’s Sage Grouse Conservation Partnership, or SageCon. “The planning process involved a lot of people putting in a lot of time over a lot of years to address really challenging issues that span private, state and federal public land.” Oregon Natural Desert Association Conservation Director Dan Morse says, “I think a lot of people in Central and Eastern Oregon understand that having a healthy sagebrush-steppe ecosystem continued on page 11...

'The Politicking of the Greater Sage-Grouse' continued...

is important not only for the sage-grouse but for ranching, tourism, fishing, hunting and other activities. Not having a healthy ecosystem would be to the detriment of everything going on in our high desert.” The Oregon Sage-Grouse Action Plan lists seven pages of stakeholders that represent state and federal agencies, county and state government, ranchers, environmental groups, Indian tribes, industry groups and more.

“With the new administration, everybody is trying to read the tea leaves and looking over their shoulders to see how the world might keep changing.” —Brett Brownscomb

According to Deschutes County Planning Manager Peter Gutowsky, Oregon was on strong footing from the start because of its firm land-use laws that protect farmland and limit urban sprawl. “That’s one reason we have so much sage-grouse habitat to begin with,” he says. “Oregon has been effective in maintaining farms and forestland while also protecting critical habitat for the sage-grouse.” Gutowski adds, “There’s been a rich culture in Deschutes County for 25 to 30 years of collaboration and partnerships with federal agencies, whether it’s how to understand issues around sage-grouse or how to collectively address wildfire. That spirit of collaboration is something residents should be really proud of.” Because of the collaborative efforts across the West, in 2015 the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service decided not to list the sage-grouse as endangered, noting that the “scope, scale and complexity of the state, federal and private conservation efforts … are unequaled in the history of wildlife conservation in the United States.”

SHIFTING POLITICS, AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE In late 2015, when former Interior Secretary Sally Jewell hailed the “epic conservation effort” that had staved off the Endangered Species listing for the sage-grouse, she was flanked by four western governors — two Democrats and two Republicans. It was an unusual show of bipartisan unity on environmental issues in the West. Now, Ryan Zinke, a vocal critic of the federal sage-grouse plans,

has replaced Jewell as Secretary of the Interior, leading to a great deal of uncertainty. Brownscomb says, “With the new administration, everybody is trying to read the tea leaves and looking over their shoulders to see how the world might keep changing.” Two recently introduced bills illustrate the types of changes that could alter the future of sage-grouse protections. H.R. 527, filed by House Natural Resources Chairman Rob Bishop (R-Utah), and S. 273, introduced by Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), would give governors the authority to bar any provisions in federal sage-grouse plans that do not align with state plans. John O’ Keeffe, president of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, says his group generally favors Oregon’s state plan over the BLM plan for Oregon because he believes the latter does not give ranchers enough flexibility to reduce fuel loads to prevent uncharacteristic wildfires. “We’re managing sage-grouse and managing livestock, and I think we can do both, but some of these planning efforts can get overly restrictive,” he says. “The state plan might be a little better designed and give us more flexibility.” Morse paints a different picture, however. If either bill passes, he is concerned that the review process to determine how the state and federal plans differ could be time-consuming and costly, and might lead to a reversion to pre-existing BLM resource management plans, which do not include the latest protections for sage-grouse. “It could lead to having to redo entirely the very long and arduous planning effort that went into formulating the state and BLM plans for sagegrouse in Oregon,” he says. In addition, Morse believes that state plans would provide less consistency across state lines, and therefore would fail to give the sage-grouse the ecosystem-scale management they need. He says, “Sage-grouse don’t know the difference between Oregon and Nevada or Idaho. They require large, intact, unfragmented landscapes throughout their range to survive and thrive.” Another potential issue is that Oregon’s state plan was not designed to address management issues that arise on federal lands. For instance, the BLM recently proposed to “withdraw,” or prohibit, new mining claims on about 10 million acres in areas deemed critical to the sage-grouse. Two of the areas are in Oregon and the rest are spread across five other states. Oregon and other states lack the regulatory authority that exists in the BLM sage-grouse plans to prevent new mining claims in important sage-grouse habitat. The proposed bills would also delay any potential review of the need for an Endangered Species listing for the sage-grouse until 2027 — seven years later than current plans. Morse says, “That sort of unscientific abeyance of a wildlife decision is counter to the purposes of the Endangered Species Act and the sage-grouse plans themselves.” It remains unclear whether the proposed legislation or other federal efforts will disrupt the decades-long public and private collaborations that have resulted in current sage-grouse protections. For now, there’s only one certainty: That in one of the surest signs of spring in the high desert, greater sage-grouse will soon gather in the pre-dawn hours, standing tall and seemingly proud amid the sagebrush-covered lands they’ve depended upon for tens of millions of years.

Roadtrip SOUND Family Birds of Chicago bring songs from a new record (written just after inauguration day) to their show at The Belfry

GUNG HO FOR SHOWS By Magdalena Bokowa

ong days, changing scenery, crisscrossing the country with a concert at the end of each day’s journey. This isn’t your typical road trip; this is the lifestyle of Birds of Chicago, a wife and husband duo who are the foundation of the acclaimed midwestern quintet. They’re sharing a tour with not only their bandmates, but their three-year-old daughter, Ida. Birds of Chicago played 180 shows last year and spent 220 days on the road, so it’s safe to say that most of their child rearing is done in their 15-passenger Chevy van. “When you’re a first-time parent, you’re really just hanging on for dear life and figuring things out each day,” begins JT Nero. “And that would be true if we were at home or on the road. But the rhythm for us has always been a traveling life, so when we brought a new human into the mix, it made sense for her to join in that rhythm.” Changing diapers on the road may be grueling, but Nero points out, “We get to be together, and that’s the main thing. Ida’s been touring since she was four weeks old; she’s a seasoned vet,” he adds, laughing. The band tours vigorously as a way to carve out what Nero calls the “middle class musician existence.” He notes, “No one’s selling any records, radio isn’t what it was, so we tour.” Nero and his wife, Allison Russell, formed the band in 2012, which they call a collective and have expanded to include three extra members, who Ida calls uncles. The band has played Sisters a number of times—Russell with her Canadian roots band Po’ Girl in 2010, Nero with JT and the Clouds in 2011 and together as Birds in 2013. “It seems crazy it was that long ago,” says Nero. “We’re not OK with that... in our hearts, we’d be here at least once a year.” Describing his love for Oregon and the dramatic micro climates they get to experience from one town to the next, Nero has a fondness for Sisters and is excited about the upcoming show at the Belfry this Saturday. “We love the Sisters community. People really take their music more seriously and it’s a vital resource in the community. We’ve made some really strong relationships there.” Described as a rock 'n’ roll secular gospel group, Nero says that the word gospel isn’t what you think it is. “There’s a lot of soul songs out there, that are like rooted in gospel,” he states, “they just took out the word Jesus and replaced it with baby.” He credits their unique sound in being able to connect to their audience in a unique and creative way. “It’s our

INDIGO GIRLS LEGENDARY FOLK — Rocking out since the mid 1980s, many will recognize the Indigo Girls for their unique, Grammy-winning folk rock. Icons in the LGBTQIA communities, both coming out before it was deemed mainstream “safe,” the “Girls” are still going strong and wowing crowds across the nation. Needed in this much needed time of push-back music, they have wowed much bigger stages, so seeing them in such an intimate setting will be quite exceptional. // 7pm.

church,” he says. “It’s a way to make connections with other individuals, to feed off of and fortify. For us, live music gives you that raw feeling that nothing else does. It’s that feeling we’re always chasing and it’s the drug that keeps us coming back.” Noting revered soul greats Sam Cooke and Otis Redding and folk legends Bob Dylan and John Prine as influencers, their sound is a soulful, rock 'n’ roll mix with a bit of folky blues thrown in. Allison sings and plays both banjo and clarinet while Nero is the main songwriter, singer and guitarist. They are rounded out with percussion, bass and guitar and are touring in support of their upcoming album “Love in Wartime,” which will be released later in the year. “We didn’t have to search too hard for fuel for that record,” says Nero, “we started recording the album the day that our current president was inaugurated.” Acknowledging the sadness and darkness settling in during a tough, turbulent time, the record is surprisingly not melancholy and focuses mostly on love. “We wanted to

make a rock 'n' roll record where people could sweat out their demons,” he chuckles. “Love is the only thing you can control, and the love that you put out in your little corner in the world is not an insignificant thing,” he preaches, “every time you chose that path, it alters the molecules around you, for the better.” Fans can expect an energetic show, full of new tunes, upbeat rock 'n' roll, and mesmerizing powerhouse vocals, particularly in their new song “Superlover,” that Nero says he wrote specifically for Russell to sing. “Even in times of hardened hearts, once you hear her sing it, she’ll make you a believer.” SW

LEE HARVEY OSMOND AKA TOM WILSON, AKA BLACKIE AND THE RODEO KINGS ACID FOLK — If you’re a fan of Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen, you’ll find a place in your folky heart for Canadian multifaceted artist Tom Wilson. Of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings fame, Wilson has had so many incarnations in his widespread career that its hard to know where he’s at right now.

Temples: “Volcano”

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 9, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

(Fat Possum)

Admissions is $7 Skate Rental is $5 Children 5 and under admission FREE with paying adult.

Three years ago, Temples took dead aim at T. Rex, early David Bowie and Pink Floyd, and crafted a slab of fuzzy, rockin’ British psych on the album “Sun Structures.” On “Volcano,” its follow up, the English quartet continues to explore ‘60s/’70s psych sounds, contemporizing them with synths and acoustic guitar. Standout tracks on the appealing disc include the continually rising “Certainty,” the baroque orchestral “I Wanna Be Your Mirror,” the chiming “Mystery of Pop” and “Roman Godlike Man,” the album’s most “Sun Structures”-like song that directly links Temples to its past and to the psychedelic rock that inspired it.  3.5/5 stars

Sleater-Kinney: “Live In Paris” (Sub Pop)

Occasionally, live albums truly capture a band at a career pinnacle, delivering a peak performance. Sleater-Kinney’s “Live in Paris” is one of those albums. Recorded in March 2015 by the powerhouse indie/punk outfit that had just reunited after a decade, the album delivers a 48-minute energetic blast of the band’s ultra-smart songs, propelled by Janet Weiss’s drumming and Carrie Brownstein’s hard-riffing guitar. Corin Tucker brings the vocals with verve and passion, really making the mix of songs from the band’s 2015 album, “No Cities to Love,” and older classics come alive. Top tracks include “Surface Envy,” “Entertain,” “Dig Me Out” and, my fave, “I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone,” but it’s all killer, no filler.  4/5 stars

Ty Segall: “Ty Segall” Ryan Adams: “Prisoner” (PAX AM/Blue Note)

Based on the lyrics on “Prisoner,” it’s clear Ryan Adams’ breakup with Mandy Moore tore him apart. On the positive side, the split inspired Adams to produce his best album in years. The sound is rooted in ‘80s mainstream rock, bare bones, but filled with big guitars and big hooks, leavened with Adams' distinctive vocals. The songs are tunes of regret and hopelessness with hints of recovery. That said, there are no details of the breakup on the disc, no name calling or anything else that could make for gossipy fun. That’s a positive as well, making the songs more universal, while giving Adams the opportunity to once again show how good he can be.  3.5/5 stars

(Drag City)

The prolific Ty Segall has cranked out album number 23 and his 10th solo release in the last decade with “Ty Segall,” his second self-titled affair. A 10-song sampler of his explorations in garage rock, it’s got a little bit of everything, from the glam stomping opener “Break a Guitar,” to the shaking psychedelia of “Freedom,” to the 10-minute, never dull sprawl of “Warm Hands (Freedom Returned),” a workout that spins together pop passages, heavy guitar and some pyschedelia. There’s some country-tinged pop, a couple rock slammers, the gorgeous, acoustic-rooted ‘60s popper, “Orange Color Queen,” and a sweetly swinging goof, “Take Care (To Comb Your Hair)” – all which manage to somehow come together and make sense.  3/5 stars

Road Trip: Oregon Shakespeare

The longtime bastion of The Bard’s works is just a short 3.5-hour drive from Bend

By Nicole Vulcan

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 10 / March 9, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I have to admit it: It took me a full 16 years of being an Oregonian to finally experience the many delights that a trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival can bring. Discussions about what constitutes a “local” aside, whether you’ve been in Oregon only six months or 60 years, I’m here to make sure you don’t make the same mistake. While Central Oregon has its fair share of wonderful theatre, our state as a whole possesses a national treasure in Oregon Shakespeare.

of a diverse America, filled with faces of many colors, ages, orientations and sizes. With choices such as those, OSF departs far from Elizabethan Shakespeare in favor of something to which far more people can relate. Then again, those looking for those more traditional stylings can also find something to their liking. The 2017 season includes “Shakespeare in Love,” featuring costumes and characters so true to Elizabethan times that the characters include the red-headed Queen Elizabeth herself. Originally written as a screenplay (you might have seen it back in 1998 when it was in all the movie theaters), the play is making its U.S. premiere at OSF. In “Shakespeare in Love,” a young William Shakespeare falls in love with

efore you go too far down the road of “I don’t like Shakespeare” or “I just can’t understand that iambic pentameter crap,” know this: not all of the festival involves Shakespeare—and the works that do are often modern depictions that blend contemporary music and sets with a diverse cast. In Elizabethan times, Shakespeare’s casts were far from diverse, to say the least. Women were not permitted to act in plays, so all the parts were played by men. (Why yes, that was Juliet, shaving “her” mustache before the performance!) In OSF’s versions of Shakespeare, women take the women’s roles, but can also be seen in more traditional men’s roles. Women play men as well as women, and sometimes even marry them. (Gasp!) This year’s version of “Henry IV, Part One” sees a woman playing the character Hotspur (Henry Percy), who led rebellions against King Henry both in the play and in real life. In “Henry IV Part One,” we’re also introduced to the king’s party boy of a son with a scene that involves a plastic pool, bubbles and a gang of modern ne’er-do-wells sipping shots. The next time we see young Henry (Hal), the scene opens with a blast of R&B artist Drake’s “Fake Love.” The cast itself, as is the case across the company’s productions, is like a cross-section

forbidden fruit—which, as is the case for many artists—serves as the muse that fuels his passion and creativity. Yes, he may have “borrowed” a few ideas from his fellow playwright Christopher Marlowe, but even that is met with humor in this light-hearted play. Opening weekend, at the end of February, also included a version of the Greek tragedy Medea, titled “Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles,” and “Julius Caesar.” In “Mojada,” OSF resident playwright Luis Alfaro tackles the challenging, timely themes of immigration, integration, family ties and material success through the story of a family who crossed the U.S. border illegally. In “Julius Caesar,” the actor playing Caesar, Armando Durán, devilishly executes a “yank and pull” handshake reminiscent of the 45th president’s. It’s through those juxtapositions between the modern and the traditional—R&B songs alongside a heavy war theme; lighthearted biography alongside grand Elizabethan costumery—that the brilliance of Oregon Shakespeare becomes apparent. This is not the stuffy foray into “traditional theatre” that you may have had to suffer through in high school drama class. Neither is it a free-form expression of something unattainably esoteric that you might have seen in a modern theatre production. It’s still largely Shakespeare, but there’s something for everyone. The above-mentioned plays are what’s currently open at OSF, but wait

a few weeks and the season’s repertoire will include “UniSon,” a musical inspired by the poetry of little-known poet and playwright August Wilson, opening April 19, and “Hannah and the Dread Gazebo,” a play that takes place in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, opening March 29. In addition, the summer’s offerings include “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” “The Odyssey,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Henry IV, Part Two” and “Off the Rails,” the company’s first-ever play focusing on Native Americans. It’s a lineup packed full of variety, as well as images and themes that are universal across ages, times and political landscapes. If you can’t find something worth making the three-and-a-halfhour drive for, then perhaps another round of mindless cable TV is for you after all. For the rest of you, road trip, anyone?

Wayne Kinney

Field Representative for Sen. Ron Wyden

fter attending more than 300 town hall meetings throughout Central and Eastern Oregon and working with more than 200 county commissioners over 21 years, Wayne Kinney is retiring as a field representative for Sen. Ron Wyden. Kinney’s career is as diverse as the many problems he has helped navigate for constituents—many who don’t share his Democratic Party affiliation. After growing up with Mormon roots in Massachusetts, Kinney found his way west, first moving to Utah then to Oregon. For a short time, he attended Boise State University and then Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. He became involved in the student newspaper at Lewis-Clark and eventually landed newspaper jobs in Idaho, Washington and Oregon. In Lakeview, he worked for the town’s weekly newspaper. Eventually he decided to leave journalism, inquiring about job opportunities with the newly elected Wyden. Wyden had just won a close special election to replace Sen. Bob Packwood, who had resigned amid sexual harassment controversies. For months, Kinney heard

nothing from the Wyden office and had accepted a position as press secretary for Mike Dugan, who was running for Congress. He got a call from Wyden’s office on his second day on the job for Dugan, who was unsuccessful in his bid. Kinney transitioned from his job as Dugan’s press secretary and became Oregon’s first rural field representative for a federally-elected official in June 1996. His first assignment was in La Grande. “I didn’t have an office at first, but Eastern Oregon University allowed me to work out of an empty dorm room for a short while,” he recalls. After successfully working on issues involving the Hanford Nuclear Plant and controversies surrounding nerve gas storage near Umatilla, Kinney transferred to Wyden’s Bend field office. After two decades of working for Wyden, Kinney says he will miss the people in Central and Eastern Oregon. He recalled the successful outcome of a dispute between a rancher

in Eastern Oregon and the Bureau of Land Management. The rancher later told Kinney he never thought a Democrat would help a rancher. They became friends. “We all know it’s our job to find common ground and find ways to work stuff out. When people need help with something, they aren’t calling to hear a partisan pitch. In fact, most of the stuff—99 percent of the stuff I do—has no partisan edge to it.” Kinney, who also served as a vice chair for the Oregon Democratic Party and several times was a delegate to the national Democratic convention, has a lot to say about his boss. “He’s a superb guy to work for,” he said. Kinney says Wyden has an uncanny ability to put out fires and help find solutions. Kinney says he is most proud of his collaboration effort that nearly led to

legislation to better manage water in the Klamath Basin. He also admits it’s his biggest disappointment. The legislation stalled at the 11th hour after all parties had agreed to it. He blames the breakdown not on disagreements in the Klamath basin, but rather to last minute politics in Washington, D.C. “We came so close,” he says. Upon retirement, Kinney plans to drive to Salt Lake City to meet his father. Together, they will drive home to Maine. “I’m going to miss all of it. Every bit of it. I’ve been out here a long time and really enjoy it. I will miss the open spaces that are not found in New England. But, I’m also looking forward to retirement and spending more time with my family.” SW

By Howard Leff works, and then this year’s “juror,” Salem-based Ann Kresge, pores over them – determining which of the entrants are suitable for the show. “It’s an evocative theme,” Kresge says. “I want to be clear of the artist’s relationship to the theme, whatever direction they took it in.” A6 Executive Director Dawn Boone loves how the books display a different form. “Some of these books stretch out like accordions and can be viewed in the round,” she says. “Others unfold outward, so we are no longer ‘reading’ it left to right.” As for her take on the theme, Boone says she started to notice how artists were “documenting gorgeous decaying spaces in Detroit and the

Rust Belt as well as abroad. Some see this decay as a beautiful, natural process. Others are saddened by the neglect of these once grand spaces.” The exhibition’s Best in Show winner receives a four-week artist residency retreat near Oregon’s Summer Lake. SW

LITTLE BITES By Nicole Vulcan

Wild Ride Brew’s beer is just the beginning By Howard Leff 31

1. Jerk Kings Standing next to this cart, more than 3,000 miles due northwest of Jamaica, I’m in jerk heaven. I order the Caribbean rice bowl and plant myself at one of the seven wood patio tables. Jerk Kings bills its menu items as “Authentic Caribbean Street Food.” Those are some tasty streets. Five or six plump pieces of jerk shrimp arrive, sitting atop a bowl of rice and vegetables bathed in what reminded me of a Thai-infused curry sauce with a touch of coconut milk. Jerk can get ultra-spicy and hot, but the shrimp here turns out enjoyable for all tastes. Underneath the shrimp, it’s a medley of chunky vegetables: potatoes, yams, okra, black beans, peppers, tomatoes and avocado, adding a fresh touch. A perfect dish in both flavor and texture. 2. Wubba’s BBQ Shack Everyone has a ribs story. Mine starts

This I’m reading off the chalkboard beer menu at Downtown Redmond’s popular garage-themed Wild Ride Brew. It’s a phrase I’ve never actually considered before. Fascinating. “One Nut Crusher, please,” I say to the 6-foot-tall bartender who could pass for Uma Thurman’s little sister. She begins pouring while I try to pretend the whole peanut butter beer thing’s no big deal. As if I’m an expert. With any luck, she’ll not realize I wouldn’t know porter from pilsner if I were snorkeling in it. But instead, she takes that moment to politely ask: “Nitro or CO2?” I quickly specify Nitro due to the fact that it’s so much more fun to say. The beer comes out a lot darker than any jar of Skippy or Jif that I’ve ever seen, but its glorious peanut butter taste is authentic to the point where I instinctively start yearning for white bread, strawberry jam and my third-grade Scooby-Doo lunchbox. Who knew beer could do that? Honestly, beer’s not even why I’m here. I didn’t come all the way up to Wild Ride –with its hip metal, glass and cement decor – simply for a lunchtime drink. No. A quick stroll out the front door, through the patio and past the fire pit, reveals the main purpose of my visit: Food carts. Four of them, shimmering out in the parking lot, arranged in a tight square. Here’s your guide:

Thin, crunchy pizza, a mile-high hot pastrami and swiss, jerk chicken, deep-fried mac and cheese bites and warm firepits await food cart junkies in Redmond.

with a side of deep-fried mac & cheese bites. The mathematical equation behind this dish is simple: decadence times two equals delight. A bite-sized spoonful of bright orange mac and cheese stuffed into batter and fried. It all works together wonderfully for a crispy, creamy pleasure. My main order of four meaty baby back ribs, slathered in the most exquisite sweet sauce, tender and very easy to navigate, normally comes with beans and slaw. Already the mac & cheese ($1 extra) has set a high standard. The coleslaw comes mildly spicy. I might have preferred a slightly more traditional slaw to pave the way for those incredibly flavorful ribs. 3. Food Fellas You can hear the whispers throughout Wild Ride Brew. By the time you reach the Fellas’ cart, there’s an almost hypnotic chant: Hot pastrami & Swiss. Hot pastrami & Swiss. The cart owner confirms it’s the heavy favorite. This fantasy sandwich arrives nearly as tall as the bartender – stacked way high with a giant heaping of tender and juicy hot pastrami, gooey melted cheese, two onion rings, a big amazing pub bun and yes, a thick pickle slice on top. It’s best attempted with a knife and fork. Trying to negotiate this monster by mouth alone will amuse your kids,

but won’t accomplish much else. Once you do get all the accessories together, you’ll understand why its reputation seems to permeate the entire patio. Added bonus: Herb-seasoned fries come alongside. 4. Red Road Pizza Co. You’ll find more than a dozen of your pizza favorites here -- including pepperoni, Hawaiian, The Mt. Bachelor (pulled pork, sausage, olives, mushrooms), BBQ chicken and The Gardener (vegetarian). I followed the owner’s recommendation and went for the chicken choke pie – a potent combination of chicken, artichoke hearts, pesto and spinach. This is a thin pizza with fresh vegetables and a crust with just the right crunch. A perfect companion for any beer (with or without peanut butter). Red Road has 14 pizza varieties and all pies are 12 inches. Very friendly service here, and that goes for all the carts as well. As for dessert – I made a simple PB&J sandwich once I got home.

It’s Friday and the team at work is a little restless for the weekend to start. You could combat those pre-weekend jitters by simply closing up the office… but that’s not likely to go over well with the boss. So what to do? Order wings, of course! Suddenly, the conference table that plays home to so many boring meetings becomes the site of a Superbowl-esque par-tay… if only for a few minutes while the team devours the goods and gets sauce on their workclean faces. That’s exactly what the Source team did last week, ordering 100 wings from Chicken Bonz on SW Century Drive. We ordered Honey BBQ, Spicy BBQ, Teriyaki, Hot and Sweet Chili Garlic flavors. Here’s our take. “We all had a great time sampling the flavors, it almost became a game,” said account executive Ashley Sarvis. “Over time someone would sit down and join the meal, the whole group would jump in and make them try each sauce, you weren’t allowed to pick two of the same until you tried them all. Wings bring the people together!” Reporter Magdalena Bokowa’s take: “My fav: Winner, winner chicken dinner — whether it’s honey or spicy, the BBQ sauce was the charbroil champion. Least fav: Too much of a good thing — the Sweet Chili Garlic was sickly sweet.” Meanwhile, production manager Wyatt Gaines sorta disagreed: “The sweet chili garlic definitely satisfied my craving for that goopy sauce they never quite give you enough of at chinese joints,” he said. Even intern Trevor Helmy got in on the fun: “My fav: The classic — the traditional hot buffalo-style wing was crunchy, flavorful, and spicy without the usual mess. Least fav: I’ll have ‘em all — Who can pick a least favorite chicken wing? Pro Tip: Mastering the one-handed method can increase total chicken consumption.” SW Chicken Bonz

h, Central Oregon. For people who want the largest, most diverse and highest-quality beer scene in the universe, this is it. What the area doesn’t have, however, is commensurate world-class beer distribution. A visit to a beer shop will mostly turn up beer from Oregon and Washington, with a few stragglers from points south and east. Compare this to, say, Texas, where large regional breweries like Bell’s, Founders, Victory and Deschutes all vie for the same beer-cooler real estate.

"...we have long anticipated the day that Founders would be sold in this region. Simply put, it’s one of the country’s best craft beer beacons.” —MIKE STEVENS, FOUNDERS' CO FOUNDER

Things are slowly starting to change in Oregon, however, with one of the big guys newly descending upon the Pacific Northwest in grand fashion. Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers, two homebrewing enthusiasts who recently graduated from Hope College in Michigan, founded the company in 1996. They started out in Grand Rapids, the nearest large city in the area. Despite flirting with bankruptcy for its first few years—much like Deschutes, back in the day—Founders soon emerged as a leader in a rapidly-expanding Michigan beer community. Now Founders distributes to 45 states (sorry, Colorado and Mississippi). The brewery kicked off its Oregon

debut last month with several events across the state, including a recent tap takeover at Broken Top Bottle Shop. Tons of their bottles and cans are available across Bend right now, thanks to the folks at Bigfoot Beverage. “It was westward that Dave and I traveled in our discovery of craft beers some 25 years ago,” Stevens said, “and we have long anticipated the day that Founders would be sold in this region. Simply put, it’s one of the country’s best craft beer beacons.” Where should beer fans begin with exploring Founders’ lineup, though? Big stouts: Breakfast Stout, the first beer to be called this name in the U.S., is a double-chocolate coffee oatmeal stout which warms the heart without going too sticky-sweet. A barrel-aged version called KBS consistently ranks at the top of the category on BeerAdvocate. Also try out Lizard of Koz in this genre, packed with blueberries and vanilla and aged in bourbon barrels. A full lineup of IPAs: Founders’ IPAs aren’t necessarily going to take on the legends of Oregon anytime soon, but All Day IPA was one of the first session sales to really get attention nationwide, using Amarillo and Simcoe hops for a fine, poundable experience. Amarillo’s used extensively in Red’s Rye IPA as well, mixed with rye malt for a spicy finish. Wacky seasonals: Frootwood is a light-bodied cherry ale aged in barrels that used to hold both bourbon and maple syrup, to extremely novel effect. Backwoods Bastard, meanwhile, is an 11.2% Scotch ale that provides just the warming kick for a late-winter night. SW

Old Man, Take A Look At My Life I'm a mutant and nothing like you by James Berardinelli 33

Ben Rothstein

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 10 / March 9, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Superheroes take on that kill-joy mortality in "Logan."

n the surface, “Logan” is a superhero movie featuring the return of two of movie-dom’s most beloved and venerable mutants. Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman were both on hand when Bryan Singer’s 2000 feature “X-Men” blew open the doors to modern motion picture superhero movies, allowing Marvel to challenge DC’s previous dominance. Now, 17 years later, Stewart and Jackman are back, playing the characters they have repeatedly returned to over the course of this century. Barring a change of heart by one or both actors, this will be the last time we’ll see this Charles Xavier and this Wolverine. “Logan” is about mortality. We all grow old. Everyone reading this who saw “X-Men” theatrically in 2000 has undergone a major life shift during the intervening years. Grandparents and parents age and die. We see their strength diminish as the years pass. It’s as melancholy as it is inevitable. For superheroes, however, there are no “golden years.” Reboots and remakes are common. If an actor gets too old to play a role, the part is recast. That’s why Superman circa 2017 is about the same age as Superman circa 1950. “Logan” changes this up with a simple premise: What happens to superheroes

when they get old? In this final Wolverine movie, Professor X is in his 90s. He is afflicted with some form of degenerative brain disease which has sapped his powers and made him prone to violent psychic seizures. Logan’s strength is diminished and his healing powers are waning. The setting is vaguely dystopian. It’s 2029 and Mutant-kind has been all but eradicated. No new mutants have been born in 25 years and the existing ones have been hunted to extinction. Except for Professor X, Wolverine, and the bald-headed tracker Caliban (Stephen Merchant), there may be none left. The screenplay, credited to Scott Frank and James Mangold and Michael Green, doesn’t provide much background. Although “Logan” is technically the conclusion of the so-called “Wolverine Trilogy” and is the ninth film focused on X-Men characters, this is designed as a stand-alone. The story is less interested in canon and continuity than establishing a framework for a tale about love, guilt, responsibility, and redemption. There are traditional bad guys in “Logan”—a mad scientist type (Richard E. Grant), a cock-sure henchman (Boyd Holbrook), and a next-gen killer (Jackman) - but the true villain is one that no one, not even the

great men of this piece, can overcome: mortality, the robber of virility and strength, the crippler of all. The movie introduces us to Logan the caregiver. Along with Caliban, he is watching over the terminally ill 90-something Charles Xavier, who even at his most lucid isn’t the man he once was. Charles has no future and, to prevent him from harming others with his occasional mental meltdowns, he is kept in confinement. The job suits Logan, who wants no part in interacting with humans and whose legacy of death and violence weighs heavily on his conscience. That’s when Laura (Dafne Keen) enters his life. Not only is she the rarest of rare—a young mutant—but she has been genetically engineered using Logan’s DNA. She’s his daughter and she is being hunted. That sets the stage for a chase, a road trip, and a final confrontation. This is like no superhero movie we have ever before seen. Nor is there likely to be another one of this sort anytime soon. It will be interesting to assess how enthusiastically those who enjoy the over-the-top spectacle of typical comic book fare will react to “Logan.” Will this be seen as too grim and joyless or will it be a much-needed antidote to the blasé blandness that has overtaken

a once vibrant genre? “Logan” isn’t the first superhero movie with a dark tone. Batman has lived there for decades and Zack Snyder did his best to pull Superman into the abyss. For a Marvel character (even one being produced outside of the MCU due to the X-Men’s rights having been parceled off to Fox), this is new territory. In his Dark Knight trilogy, Christopher Nolan discovered the magical formula that makes dour superhero movies work; it has to do with the melding of tone, atmosphere, and emotional content. Snyder didn’t understand this and made it all about the aesthetic. James Mangold, who was also responsible for 2013’s “The Wolverine,” returns to what one might call the “Nolan basics.” It’s therefore no surprise that (excepting “Deadpool,” which was an entirely different sort of movie) “Logan” is the best superhero film since “The Dark Knight.” SW

"Table 19"

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 9, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

COLLIDE: An American backpacker gets a job as a driver for a ring of drug smugglers and all hell breaks loose. With Anthony Hopkins in the cast of this action film, what could possibly go wrong? Old Mill Stadium 16 BEFORE I FALL: A teenage girl relives a car

crash over and over again in this psychological teen thriller. This one came out mostly under the radar, so it's anyones guess whether the film will transcend its genre limitations. Go at your own risk. See full review on p35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

GET OUT: A thriller about a biracial couple navigating the thinly-veiled racism of their community, with many psychologically-thrilling twists. See the review in this week’s Screen. See full review on p 27. Old Mill Stadium 16 HIDDEN FIGURES: Taraji P. Henson stars as Katherine Johnson, one of the key mathematical minds that helped put John Glenn into orbit during the Space Race. Watching Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae take on a sexist and racist NASA while doing twice the work as everyone else is inspiring, but also infuriating. Old Mill Stadium 16 JOHN WICK 2: Keanu Reeves gave one of the

great action movie performances in the first "John Wick" and this one looks to be even better. With more people getting shot in the face than can be counted, these movies are an action fan's nirvana. Give the series a chance. It's better than it looks. Old Mill Stadium 16

JULIETA: Woman dealing with heartbreak finally confronts her life and begins to deal with the events surrounding her stranded daughter. Sisters Movie House

LA LA LAND: Director Damien Chazelle ("Whiplash") takes his incredible eye and style and puts it into making a throwback to Hollywood musicals of the 1940s-‘50s. Ryan Gosling plays a focused jazz musician who falls in love with Emma Stone, a struggling actress. Old Mill Stadium 16 LION: A young Indian boy gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, a long, long way from home. Eventually he’s adopted by an Australian couple, but 25 years later he goes in search of his lost family. Old Mill Stadium 16, Sisters Movie House LOGAN: Hugh Jackman reprises his role as

Wolverine one final time in what is being hailed as the greatest X-Men film of all time. Set in the near future, “Logan” follows Wolverine and Professor X as they attempt to protect one of the final living mutants. Should be even better than advertised. See full review on p33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA: For those

ful work of American cinema that should not be missed by anyone who loves film. Old Mill Stadium 16

ROCK DOG: In this animated film, a Tibetan

Mastiff has a radio fall from the sky into his willing hands. Finally, he can become the musician he wants to be—but of course, there will be many unexpected events that stand in the way of that dream. Old Mill Stadium 16

SPAGHETTI WESTERN WEDNESDAY: $8 gets you an All-U-Can eat spaghetti dinner and a hootin’ and hollerin’ good time watching old Western classics. Tin Pan Theater

TABLE 19: Anna Kendrick should be having a

better career. As delightful as she is in everything she does, she still hasn't exploded in the way that she deserves to. “Table 19” is a romantic comedy about the people that get stuck at the undesirable table at a wedding. Kendrick plays the ex-girlfriend of the best man, who is still reeling from their recent breakup but is determined to make the best of it. Who wants to bet she sings a song at some point? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

THE GREAT WALL: Matt Damon is the white

savior in this pulp, sci-fi/fantasy from visionary director Zhang Yimou. This tells the tale of the "real" reasons behind the construction of The Great Wall of China: Giant monsters. Looks like a dumb, fun ride at the movies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE: There's no reason why "The Lego Movie" should have worked as well as it did, but somehow it did and Batman was one of the breakout characters. The hilarious Will Arnett made Batman a sad, lonely, egotistical jerk while mining the pathos for laughs around every turn. Spinoffs shouldn't work, but this one sorta did. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema THE RED TURTLE: Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli (and Dutch-British animator Michaël Dudok de Wit) bring us yet another wonderfully-delightful animated (and dialogue-free) film that can please both adults and kids of any age. Tin Pan Theater THE SALESMAN: In Asghar Farhadi's latest

examination of curdling relationships, “The Salesman” manages to stay thematically similar to his older works while exploring new emotional battlegrounds. “The Salesman” follows the souring relationship of a couple as they perform Arthur Miller's “Death of a Salesman.” Farhadi manages to make another searingly personal drama while also dabbling in the thriller genre. Tin Pan Theater

THE SHACK: Based on the religious book that

looking for adult entertainment, "Manchester by the Sea" is an emotional powerhouse. Casey Affleck gives the performance of his career as Lee Chandler, a broken man whose brother dies and leaves him as the guardian to his 16-year-old nephew. Old Mill Stadium 16

even your non-religious friends read, “The Shack” is about a grieving father who has a conversation with God. At times bouncing between s serious exploration of faith and a wacky thriller, “The Shack” is either exactly the kind of movie you're looking for or something to drunkenly make fun of with friends. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MOONLIGHT: A genuine masterpiece. The

TONI ERDMANN: A father, looking to connect

film follows three time periods of a young African-American male as he struggles with understanding himself. Winner of multiple Oscars, including Best Picture, "Moonlight" is a wonder-

with his corporate-climbing daughter, poses as her CEO’s life coach in order to spend a little time with her. Tin Pan Theater

A Teen Version of “Groundhog Day” “Before I Fall” follows a similar theme, but to lesser effect by James Berardinelli

35 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 10 / March 9, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

t takes a mediocre movie like “Before I Fall” to illustrate how brilliant Harold Ramis’ “Groundhog Day” is. Founded on the same premise, the movies show the variances that can result from different approaches. “Groundhog Day” uses comedy and wit to buffer its existential angst and cosmic sense of karma. “Before I Fall,” on the other hand, adopts an oh-so-serious tone and resorts to awkward melodrama to get the point across. It’s Valentine’s Day and high school senior Samantha Kingston (Zoey Deutch) is doomed to live it repeatedly until she does whatever it is that Fate has decreed she must do to move on. It begins with her waking up to a song on her iPhone (not, by the way, “I’ve Got You, Babe” – the movie doesn’t have that sort of referential sense of humor) and ends with her dying in a car accident. Except, instead of waking up at the Pearly Gates, she returns to the beginning of the day with her memories intact. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. After acclimating, Sam varies things a little—dumping her three Queen Bee friends (Halston Sage, Medalion Rahimi, Cynthy Wu), trying to hook up with a “nicer” boy, etc. She eventually figures out that getting out of the loop involves doing something related to outcast Juliet Sykes (Elena Kampouris), but what? The kind of repetition necessary to the film’s narrative is not only inherently non-cinematic but potentially deadly to the movie. Who wants to see the same scene presented over and over again with only small variations? And, although it’s unfair to compare

Even these cool hot chicks can't save this maudlin melodrama.

Bill Murray to Zoey Deutch, a case can be made that Murray’s performance keeps “Groundhog Day” from slipping into the rut that derails “Before I Fall.” For her part, although Deutch (most recently seen as Bryan Cranston’s daughter/James Franco’s lover in “Why Him?”) is appealing, she’s too old for the part. Halston Sage (in the “best friend” role), who’s actually a year older than Deutch, seems more age-appropriate for a high school student. Both are viewed as “up and coming” actresses and will likely appear in more impressive projects than this one in the near future. The saccharine message of “savor every moment” is driven home with sledgehammer-like subtlety. Director

Ry Russo-Young’s unwillingness to give the audience even a scintilla of credit (a sentiment I can fully understand) results in not only a voiceover that emphasizes the moral but a final act that embodies it. Somehow, “Groundhog Day” is able to convey something similar without it becoming obvious or intrusive. Is it fair to catalog all the times when the Ramis film does things better than this one? Possibly not, considering that “Before I Fall” has been fine-tuned for viewers who have probably never heard of “Groundhog Day,” much less seen it. Simply put, this movie is intended for girls between the ages of 10 and 16, and not really anyone else. To be fair, there are occasional

moments that succeed. These are typically the quieter, less histrionic ones. I appreciated the scenes between Sam and Kent (Logan Miller), the prototypical “nice guy” trapped in the friendzone. There’s also something elegant about the way the movie ends. Overall, however, the lack of a compelling narrative thrust and inability to maintain an internal consistency about how the time loop works condemn this film to a fall from which it can’t recover.

Triple Threat

Central Oregonian Ari DeLashmutt recalls his experiences in the void By Rex Shepard

Highlining

Paragliding Paragliding involves flying a lightweight, foot-launched, non-motorized glider aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing that looks very much like a large parachute. Pilots can fly for hours, catching thermal updrafts to gain altitude and drifting though expanses of space. While filmmaking for an episode of “The Bivy” in 2014, DeLashmutt went tandem paragliding for the first time and was instantly hooked. The episode featured a stunt combining paragliding, rope swinging and BASE jumping.

Ari DeLashmutt

Bendito Ari DeLashmutt gets his high-altitude thrill on.

“With paragliding you learn how to make it (the glider) take you up. You can do the Ferris wheel, get way up there, push way out, you do your acro, come back down. Relax and climb.” Organya, Spain, is one paragliding paradise Ari mentions, where you can get about 6,000 feet off the ground, 10 times a day, in perfect air that takes you to the moon and back. Locally, 26 miles east of Bend, Pine Mountain offers over 15 launches, desert thermal conditions and ridge soaring; the perfect training grounds for the professional paraglider. Paragliding and highlining have taken him all over the world, including Canada, Mexico, Morocco, Spain, France, Chili, Brazil and Peru.

In the September/October 2016 issue of “Hang Gliding & Paragliding,” DeLashmutt wrote about his experiences paragliding in Morocco. Although he doesn’t yet have any international trips confirmed this year, he would like to travel to Antarctica to pioneer new highlines and paraglide flights.

Highlining is the sport of traversing across a narrow, springy band of rope, suspended high above the ground, maintaining balance and focus while conquering fear. This is considered the pinnacle of the sport of slacklining. In 2006, DeLashmutt started slacklining with friends at a local park, rigging a line between two trees. Learning

of an event called the Smith Highline Festival, they practiced by rigging the lines higher up on the tree to simulate the intense heights and exposure at Smith Rock. “I think the experience with the void, that is really cool. The space that you can create with a piece of rope that shape. The mental game is the most rewarding part. The places, the spaces, bolting and rigging. How to get the rope across and put up new lines. The whole backcountry experience is just amazing, too! In the beginning, I became very addicted to the headspace that one had to inhabit, just to be able to walk across the line.” His favorite highline is called the Fruit Bowl, located outside Moab, Utah. Lines vary in length from 25 to 330 feet and are 450 feet above the canyon floor. He describes it as being the most exposed and beautiful place to put up a long highline.

Paragliding in an exotic locale, Ari DeLashmutt prepares for a beachside landing.

or many Central Oregonians, these are experiences that make life worth living: Skiing down the steep slopes of a mountain, trees going by at high speeds, letting gravity guide you with each turn through the snow. Or walking the tight rope, hundreds of feet above the ground, like a balancing act in the circus. Or, flying like a bird in the sky, soaring to new heights, flowing with the wind and wherever direction it takes you. While the average Joe might enjoy just one of these activities, Central Oregonian Ari DeLashmutt has skiing, highlining and paragliding adventures on a regular basis. Both passionate and talented, DeLashmutt craves the wild experiences of the unknown and the understanding of the forces called flight. For most of this decade, skiing has dominated DeLashmutt’s career as a professional athlete. He’s known as “Ari in the Air,” and is always seeking more time in the air than feet planted firmly on the ground. But more recently, his time has been spent walking the tightrope and gliding through the air.

Natural World Eagle Watch By Jim Anderson

Jim Anderson Logan Jutting, a home-schooled 4th-grader from Culver, takes his first look at our sun, while Lori McGee from The Oregon Observatory at Sunriver explains details of what he’s seeing through a special telescope brought to Eagle Watch at Round Butte.

the person now running the show is Erin Bennett, Interpretive Park Ranger at The Cove Palisades State Park. But of all the responses, the bald and golden eagles seem to be the most cooperative. They soar by the visitors, observing them from the many telescopes set up at on the rims of Round Butte overlooking the dam, cliffs and palisades. There are lookout points along the rim overlooking Lake Billy Chinook, manned with birding experts who help visitors appreciate the eagles soaring over the lake and nesting on the cliffs. “This is a fun, free weekend event perfect for the entire family,” said Bennett. “Visitors will have the opportunity to glimpse our resident bald and golden eagles, as well as learn about the significance of the eagle to tribal culture and traditions.” Central Oregon students in 4th to 12th grades entered an eagle art contest, and winners were announced at lunch on Saturday, with artwork put on display during the weekend. Event attendees could view and photograph Aquila, a rehabilitated golden eagle, as well as a great horned

Children were also invited to participate in the eagle race on Saturday or to make a bird feeder on Sunday. Madras Garden Center demonstrated how to create a backyard refuge to enjoy birdwatching year-round at your own home. Wild eagle viewing took place each day at Round Butte Overlook Park and two overlooks on Mountain View Road. Wildlife biologists have recorded 11 bald eagle pairs and nine pairs of golden eagles living in the area yearround. Other bald eagles searching for food join the resident birds from January through March. Sunday afternoon, Warm Springs Power and Water Enterprises Quartz Creek Drummers and Dancers provided a special presentation of tribal drumming and dancing. The event is free, but when money changes hands for souvenirs and such, the proceeds go to benefit the Oregon Eagle Foundation. The OEF is run by Frank Isaacs, responsible for putting together a team of volunteers and wildlife professionals who set the standards for the remarkable recovery of the American bald eagle in the Northwest. He began working on the disappearance of the Bald Eagle in the 70’s, when there were fewer than 10 nesting bald eagles in Oregon. When the bald eagle was taken off the Endangered Species list there were over 500 active nests statewide. Today there are over 700, and more are being discovered each year. Tori McGee, one of the outreach

staff at the Oregon Observatory at Sunriver, had this to say about her recent experience at Eagle Watch: “As an astronomy interpreter at the Oregon Observatory in Sunriver, I’m able to participate in our outreach programs by taking telescopes to different events and schools. “We brought two telescopes to Eagle Watch this weekend to do solar viewing. They both had special filters so the participants could have a chance to safely view the sun. I love interpreting facts about our closest star and showing what our sun really looks like. “One telescope views the natural light spectrum, or the real color of the sun, like very powerful sunglasses. The other telescope shows the hydrogen on the sun by looking only at the H-Alpha wavelength, that shows many features in this view, including loops of plasma, called a prominence, and bright active regions. “During Eagle Watch, when the eagles were hiding, the astronomy telescopes were busy with excited nature enthusiasts viewing a new side of our universe. It was the highlight of my weekend and I’d like to thank Jerry Niehuser, a long-time participant in Eagle Watch and Astronomy Guru, for inviting us. We had a wonderful time sharing our love of stars with everyone at Eagle Watch.” SW Eagle Watch

t wasn’t snowing or blowing, and the temperature wasn’t down to the 20’s like it sometimes can be at Eagle Watch. In fact, the sun was shining all day while hundreds of participants strolled about Portland General Electric's Round Butte Park. This two-day event, usually held the last weekend of February, has been an annual event for the last 22 years. Paul Patton, then the ranger at Smith Rock State Park, came up with the idea in the interest of getting Oregon State Parks to celebrate the unique population of eagles that soar in the skies above Lake Billy Chinook. He asked various conservation organizations, PGE, state and federal wildlife wildlife conservation agencies and the local Audubon group to bring the best they had to Round Butte Park and help celebrate the magnificent raptors that populate Central Oregon. The idea was met with enthusiasm, including everyone from the state and feds to the private conservation institutions—plus the wildlife and cultural programs of the Warm Springs Nation.

Don’t Sabotage the Sale of Your Home

1. Pricing the home right: Too often people think they can name their price rather than basing it on what similar homes have recently sold for. This is probably the biggest factor keeping homes on the market for longer periods of time. Once the price is finally reduced to market price, it may go unnoticed because due to the market, people are looking at current listings. There is also a stigma attached with properties being on the market too long, given our current high demand. 2. Home condition: Sellers may not want to put any money into simple repairs such as peeling paint, cleaning gutters and other simple maintenance items. These will inevitably be called out in a home inspection or appraisal. For example, peeling

paint is a frequent call and must be repaired for certain types of loans, such as FHA loans, popular with first-time homebuyers. These are simple but important items in that they can limit the buyers for a home—so you might as well get them done before putting your home on the market. 3. Accessibility: We all know that Bend is a very popular town for dogs, and often when houses are shown during working hours, the dogs are there to greet or scare off some buyers and agents. One way to get around this is to schedule showing times to restricted hours when the owner is able to remove the dogs. I had a recent listing with friendly but great “alarm” barking dogs that thwarted some people from entering due to fear of dogs. Tenant occupants require 24-hour notice. Coming to an understanding with tenants for showings can help minimize disruption and make it easier for realtors to plan showings. We all know that when a home is priced right, is appealing to the eye, and easily accessible, it is more likely to sell quicker.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 10 / March 9, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

recent article I read addressed the many ways some sellers sabotage the sale of their homes. I have personally encountered a few of these items in my own listings and they very well could have cost the sale of the home and lengthened the time on the market. Most sellers do the right thing, but a few don’t get it. The three items I have encountered that might be useful to consider are listed here.

REAL ESTATE LISTINGS

ADVICE GODDESS Born Jesterday

I’m a 27-year-old guy, and I’m not very funny. I know women like a guy with a sense of humor, so I was interested in these “Flirt Cards” with funny messages that I saw on Kickstarter. You write your number on the back and give the card to a woman you’d like to meet. Good idea or bad for breaking the ice? —Single Dude

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 9, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Using a pre-printed card to hit on the ladies makes a powerful statement: “I’m looking for a kind woman to nurse me back to masculinity.” Asking a woman out isn’t just a way to get a date; it’s a form of display. Consider that women look for men to show courage. (The courage to unwrap a pack of cards doesn’t count.) And mutely handing a woman some other guy’s humor on a card is actually worse than using no humor at all — save for extenuating circumstances, like if it were the Middle Ages and you’d had your tongue cut out for unseemly behavior with the earl’s livestock (again). Consider evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller’s “mating mind” hypothesis — the notion that “our minds evolved not just as survival machines, but as courtship machines.” Miller explains that the mind acts as a “fitness indicator” — a sort of advertising agency for a person’s genetic quality (among other things). Humor is a reliable (hard-to-fake) sign of genetic qual-

ity — reflecting high intelligence, creative problem-solving ability, and a lack of mutations that would handicap brain function. But it isn’t just any old humor that women find attractive. Any guy can memorize a joke. Accordingly, in a study of the pickup lines men use on women, psychologists Christopher Bale and Rory Morrison “distinguish wit (spontaneous jokes that fit the context exactly, are genuinely funny, and require intelligence) from mere humor (the pre-planned jokes and one-liners which … do not demonstrate intelligence).” Anthropologist Gil Greengross, who studies humor and laughter from an evolutionary perspective, suggests that even a guy who’s lame at humor should at least take a run at being funny: “The risk of not even trying to make women laugh may result in losing a mating opportunity.” I disagree — though only in part. If you’re Amy Alkon unfunny, trying to force the funny is like bragging, “Hey! I’m low in social intelligence!” However, you shouldn’t let being unfunny stop you from hitting on a woman. What you can do is be spontaneously and courageously genuine. Just put yourself out there and say hello to her and acknowledge and even laugh at any awkwardness on your part. This isn’t to say you should give up entirely on using pre-printed notes. Save them for special occasions — those when your message to a woman is something like “Stay calm and put all the money in the bag.”

ASTROLOGY

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you normally

ARIES (March 21-April 19): As soon as you can, sneak away to a private place where you can be alone -- preferably to a comfy sanctuary where you can indulge in eccentric behavior without being seen or heard or judged. When you get there, launch into an extended session of moaning and complaining. I mean do it out loud. Wail and whine and whisper about everything that’s making you sad and puzzled and crazy. For best results, leap into the air and wave your arms. Whirl around in erratic figure-eights while drooling and messing up your hair. Breathe extra deeply. And all the while, let your pungent emotions and poignant fantasies flow freely through your wild heart. Keep on going until you find the relief that lies on the other side.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I’ve always belonged to what isn’t where I am and to what I could never be,” wrote Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935). That was his prerogative, of course. Or maybe it was a fervent desire of his, and it came true. I bring his perspective to your attention, Taurus, because I believe your mandate is just the opposite, at least for the next few weeks: You must belong to what is where you are. You must belong to what you will always be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Nothing is ever as simple as it may seem. The bad times always harbor opportunities. The good times inevitably have a caveat. According to my astrological analysis, you’ll prove the latter truth in the coming weeks. On one hand, you will be closer than you’ve been in many moons to your ultimate sources of meaning and motivation. On the other hand, you sure as hell had better take advantage of this good fortune. You can’t afford to be shy about claiming the rewards and accepting the responsibilities that come with the opportunities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Seek intimacy with experiences that are dewy and slippery and succulent. Make sure you get more than your fair share of swirling feelings and flowing sensations, cascading streams and misty rain, arousing drinks and sumptuous sauces, warm baths and purifying saunas, skin moisturizers and lustrous massages, the milk of human kindness and the buttery release of deep sex -- and maybe even a sensational do-it-yourself baptism that frees you from at least some of your regrets. Don’t stay thirsty, my undulating friend. Quench your need to be very, very wet. Gush and spill. Be gushed and spilled on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Would you like to live to the age of 99? If so, experiences and realizations that arrive in the coming weeks could be important in that project. A window to longevity will open, giving you a chance to gather clues about actions you can take and meditations you can do to remain vital for ten decades. I hope you’re not too much of a serious, know-it-all adult to benefit from this opportunity. If you’d like to be deeply receptive to the secrets of a long life, you must be able to see with innocent, curious eyes. Playfulness is not just a winsome quality in this quest; it’s an essential asset.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re ripe. You’re delectable. Your intelligence is especially sexy. I think it’s time to unveil the premium version of your urge to merge. To prepare, let’s review a few flirtation strategies. The eyebrow flash is a good place to start. A subtle, flicking lick of your lips is a fine follow-up. Try tilting your neck to the side

ever-so-coyly. If there are signs of reciprocation from the other party, smooth your hair or pat your clothes. Fondle nearby objects like a wine glass or your keys. And this is very important: Listen raptly to the person you’re wooing. P.S.: If you already have a steady partner, use these techniques as part of a crafty plan to draw him or her into deeper levels of affection.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Let’s talk about a compassionate version of robbery. The thieves who practice this art don’t steal valuable things you love. Rather, they pilfer stuff you don’t actually need but are reluctant to let go of. For example, the spirit of a beloved ancestor may sweep into your nightmare and carry off a delicious poison that has been damaging you in ways you’ve become comfortable with. A bandit angel might sneak into your imagination and burglarize the debilitating beliefs and psychological crutches you cling to as if they were bars of gold. Are you interested in benefiting from this service? Ask and you shall receive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Evolved Scorpios don’t fantasize about bad things happening to their competitors and adversaries. They don’t seethe with smoldering desires to torment anyone who fails to give them what they want. They may, however, experience urges to achieve TOTAL CUNNNG DAZZLING MERCILESS VICTORY over those who won’t acknowledge them as golden gods or golden goddesses. But even then, they don’t indulge in the deeply counterproductive emotion of hatred. Instead, they sublimate their ferocity into a drive to keep honing their talents. After all, that game plan is the best way to accomplish something even better than mere revenge: success in fulfilling their dreams. Please keep these thoughts close to your heart in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world,” wrote Martin Luther (1483-1546), a revolutionary who helped break the stranglehold of the Catholic Church on the European imagination. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you’re entering a phase when you need the kind of uprising that’s best incited by music. So I invite you to gather the tunes that have inspired you over the years, and also go hunting for a fresh batch. Then listen intently, curiously, and creatively as you feed your intention to initiate constructive mutation. Its time to overthrow anything about your status quo that is jaded, lazy, sterile, or apathetic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Either you learn to live with paradox and ambiguity or you’ll be six years old for the rest of your life,” says author Anne Lamott. How are you doing with that lesson, Capricorn? Still learning? If you would like to get even more advanced teachings about paradox and ambiguity -- as well as conundrums, incongruity, and anomalies -- there will be plenty of chances in the coming weeks. Be glad! Remember the words of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr: “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lichen is a hardy form of life that by some estimates covers six percent of the earth’s surface. It thrives in arctic tundra and rainforests, on tree bark and rock surfaces, on walls and toxic slag heaps, from sea level to alpine environments. The secret of its success is symbiosis. Fungi and algae band together (or sometimes fungi and bacteria) to create a blended entity; two very dissimilar organisms forge an intricate relationship that comprises a third organism. I propose that you regard lichen as your spirit ally in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You’re primed for some sterling symbioses.

wear adornments and accessories and fine disguises, I invite you not to do so for the next two weeks. Instead, try out an unembellished, what-you-seeis-what-you-get approach to your appearance. If, on the other hand, you don’t normally wear adornments and accessories and fine disguises, I encourage you to embrace such possibilities in a spirit of fun and enthusiasm. Now you may inquire: How can these contradictory suggestions both apply to the Pisces tribe? The answer: There’s a more sweeping mandate behind it all, namely: to tinker and experiment with the ways you present yourself . . . to play around with strategies for translating your inner depths into outer expression.

ello, reader! It’s me again, Josh’s girlfriend. Happy International Women’s Day! Cheers to all the ladies. Cheers also to my job at a baller nonprofit that has retained enough of a “fuck you” attitude from the 60’s that they close and give us a paid vacation day for International Women’s Day. (Were we open on Presidents Day? Yes, reader, we were.) Since I don’t go in for weed wonkery quite like Josh does, I don’t have a nuanced opinion on the latest policy change or a thoughtful review of the newest strain or gadget. (Chill, bro, he’ll be back next week, and I promise not to lady-up the column again for a long time.) I am not a stoner, reader, and I didn’t even particularly care for the devil’s jazz tobacco until I took up with Josh. I grew up in the era of full D.A.R.E. fear-mongering (think “weed will make you do meth and your teeth will fall out and everyone will hate you and you will die”…and this was a real conflict with my plan to follow all the rules and become Valedictorian of Everything. I dabbled, but only so I wouldn’t look like a square at parties. Shockingly, I still looked like a square at parties). It wasn’t until my senior year of college that my Also Very Well Behaved friends and I considered that, you know, this was our last chance to be wild crazy college students, and we should really live it up! Or something! Smoking sounded yucky and cough-y, but we all liked brownies! Of course, none of us had any connections. We found a friend of an ex-roommate who had a boyfriend who had a medical card and deputized one of our number to place an order. He came back with not brownies, but banana bread. In retrospect, this should have been our first (or, like, fourth) warning. I’m sure one of the roughly five billion new edible companies in Portland is doing it well by now, but I do not recommend banana bread as your cannabis infused vehicle of choice. Nevertheless, we persisted. He advised us to eat about a half piece each, to be on the safe side, since we were new to this and obviously nervous. We had a careful plan to eat a bite at a time and wait a half hour, but it was so vile we just bolted a quarter of a piece each and hoped for the best. Reader, it was not the best. It was not chill, it did not expand our

consciousness into new realms, and it did not give any of us a peaceful easy feeling of serene connection with our fellow humans and mother Gaia. It made half of us violently ill. Of the five of us, one spent the next several hours curled up in the shared dorm bathroom. One did not make it that far and threw up in the cat’s litter box. One hates throwing up more than anything, so she just sat very, very, very still in her closet. For about eight hours. The other two of us experienced something that I have since heard described as being “trapped in your body,” which at the time just felt like I had fully, completely gone crazy. I couldn’t talk, or move, or even really control my thoughts. I just lay on my friend’s floor, and watched ideas flick-flick-flick through my head, unable to hold on to a single one of them. As it turned out, it was not a mental break. We were all just way too fucking high. And that was it! Our first experience with weed! Easy to see why people were so into this! We all more or less staggered awake at four o’goddamn clock in the goddamn afternoon the next day, and swapped stories like we had just come home from the goddamn war. We agreed stoners were puzzling AT BEST, and that certainly we were never, so help us, touching that shit again. One of us cleaned up the litter box and, lady-god, bless that woman’s Amazon warrior heart. What I’m trying to tell you is that, if the D.A.R.E. people had been trying to devise a scenario to say, “Look, kiddies, stay off the pot weed!” they could not possibly have done better than we did. On the other hand, three out of the five of us have gone on to have successful pot-weed-smoking careers, and five out of five also have successful regular career-careers. Zero out of five lost teeth or accidentally cooked babies into meth. And while it took some coaxing on Josh’s part to get me to try again, I can now totally appreciate the sacred magic herb plant. So, fuck you, D.A.R.E., for your shitty scare tactics, and for your totally unnecessary contribution to making my younger self even more of a well-behaved loser. Clearly, I actually had that one covered on my own. Enjoy the lady-holiday, stoners! Don’t get too high out there!
