T

he job of an editor is, of course, or at least in part, to edit—to remove excess.

But while there is a certain joy in pruning verbose stories to lean fighting machines, there is also a frustration when we simply do not have enough room in our newspaper for everything. This is one of those weeks. Especially for our Sound section.

Each week, we sit down on Wednesday morning in our conference room and figure out what to write about in the coming issue. Each meeting starts with selecting our “Picks” for the upcoming week, those 10 events that we absolutely think you should attend. Our relatively new Editorial Assistant Hayley Jo Murphy runs those meetings for us, and, last Wednesday, she arrived with a (figurative) armful of ideas about great bands that are playing in the upcoming week—some that are legendary, like P-funk bandleader George Clinton; others that are achieving cult status, like flamenco head bangers Rodrigo y Gabriela, which our former Music Editor Ethan Maffey caught up with; and, the unknown Scottish folkpop singer Natalie Clark, which Hayley herself tackled with one of her first articles for our paper.

But recognizing that we simply don’t always have enough space to cover what we want, over the past few months we have shoehorned a few new sections into the newspaper—like, “Source Suggests” in the Sound section, which allows us to include another three or four bands each issue, and is collected and reviewed each week by local writer Anne Pick, and in our Culture section, a new weekly column called “Art Watch,” which is written by Kelsey Rook (who, yes, shares a last name with our Associate Editor, Erin Rook; she is his sister; and, who also demanded that, in addition to covering fine art, she be allowed to cover the monster truck event this week).

We have been pleased that we are fitting ever more into our newspaper each week, and hope that you have enjoyed the extra coverage.

IN REPLY TO REPLIES ABOUT “BIKE TOWN USA” (3/4)

LIGHT METER

I’d simply like the lights to turn green for me when I’m stopped at a light riding home after work at night. They currently don’t because they are all linked to sensors embedded in the road that don’t detect the amount of metal in a bike.

I’d like the city crews to actually plow the snow out of the bike lane instead of into it, and do the same with street debris.

I’d like all the pedestrian crossings to automatically display the walk sign each light cycle rather than requiring a pedestrian to push the button. People in cars don’t have to push a button to get a green light, why do people on foot or people on a bike have to?

These changes would cost the city virtually nothing, would not inconvenience people in cars, and would go a long way toward making Bend far more friendly toward people on bikes and people on foot.

—NewBender

ery has to be purchased in order to travel on public roads, nor should it be.

This may surprise you, Chuck, but lots of people simply cannot drive—the very elderly, anyone on a limited income (Poor people in Bend?! Yes, they’re around), kids under 16, anyone with a DUI problem. Many others who DO drive should not—anyone with a smart phone addiction, people who have killed with their car in the past, the very elderly, kids over 16, and so on. If only there were ways for the inconveniently car-free to go from one place to another without having to rely on uncle Chuck and his “car held hostage” to cart them around.

Was Riverside safer for anybody when there was no bike lane? (I’m psychic enough to know that Chucky just said “yes”.) Safer for who? I grew up here and I’ve been riding (and driving) all over Bend AND on Riverside Drive for over 20 years, and I’m not alone—there were very few days that bikes could not be found riding past Drake Park, trying to split the difference with passing drivers. Now, I have a lane that tells me where I can ride my bike and drivers are able to pass me easily. And when I DRIVE THE CAR THAT I OWN, I’m able to pass bikers at will thanks to this bike lane that is “holding you hostage.” If only it were so easy to pass on all public roads.

If having to be around bikes and the people who ride them are really a problem for you, there are places where “those bikers” are very rare. Maybe you mistook Bend for that kind of place when you moved here. If

that’s the case, you were very much mistaken. Events like the Pole Pedal Paddle and the Cascade Cycling Classic have gone on in Bend for nearly 40 years now. That’s not a coincidence.

Bike lanes aren’t new here. There will be more. Bicycles aren’t going away any more than cars are.

Get over it or get out.

—Gearhead4077

coupled with the reality that we can’t build our way out of traffic congestion makes for a curious challenge. The more we can encourage people getting out of their cars the better we can accommodate a larger population using our system and not clogging it with single occupancy vehicles. And the safer our system will be for everyone.

First, there is the perception of system safety being compromised by the bike lanes E.J. Pettinger’s on Riverside when all studies show that if cars go slower the people driving them will be safer (as will be all other users of the roadway). The second opinion is that there are few users of the bike line—an obvious exaggeration—but within that comment is the underlining belief that there are more people driving cars so they should get priority over people riding or walking. And his final point about parking and the risk to people exiting their cars near the Old Post Office misses the important point that it is no different than anywhere else you might parallel park.

Chuck Thomas: You are held hostage by a bike lane? Really? You can’t leave your home if a bike lane exists? How is someone so inept allowed behind the wheel?

Seriously Charles Thomas? How are you being held hostage by protected bike lanes on Riverside? Yes, it was designed for cars, and now it’s designed for drivers and cyclists. The “sharp curves,” which aren’t really sharp, but are the same curves that were there before, are now safer because with more narrow lanes and more visual confusion, people drive slower, and the rumble strips help keep people out of the bike lane.

Also, there is no risk for drivers getting out of their cars on Franklin if they check their mirror first. I understand change is difficult for some, but you still have all the options on your bike route that you had before.

THE GLASS SLIPPER NEWS

Staying True When Knute Buehler campaigned last autumn for a seat in the Oregon House, he proudly stated his afflation with the Republican Party, but he also went out of his way to identify his political positions that differ from the political party’s traditional platform. Moreover, he promised to think and vote independently from his party and to set his own course.

As the region’s demographics have shifted over the past decade, from two-to-one Republican, to an even split between Republicanss, Democrats and Independents, it seemed as if either Buehler was a barometer of these changing attitudes, or a wise politician trying to match his promises to the polls. And, it paid off: He received endorsements from prominent Democrats and waltzed to a victory.

But, it is also the type of reaching-across-the-aisle talk that is popular during campaigns, only to melt away in the heat of the realities of preserving voting bases and peer alliances.

This past week, though, Buehler put his clout where his mouth is, and was the only Republican on the Health Care Committee to support HB 2307, a bill that seeks to outlaw so-called conversion therapy, a “treatment” that tries to force gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth to become straight, and which has been discredited by the American Psychological Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Under the proposed Youth Mental Health Protection Act (HB 2307), all licensed medical care providers will be banned from practicing “conversion therapy” on youth under the age of 18.

In a press release, Buehler explained, “As a physician and someone who has supported marriage equality and civil rights for our minority communities, I see banning conversion therapy as another step forward on the road to civility, equality and understanding in Oregon.”

He added to those comments, “This is a vote for tolerance and the recognition that all men and women are created equal, regardless of how they come into this world and regardless of who they choose to love.”

And, moreover, Rep. Buehler underscored his role as independent thinker.

“Each day,” he explained, “I come to this grand building and work hard to be worthy of the inclusive campaign I ran which avoided narrow political labels. Some days I do better than others. However, today I am confident we have the opportunity to make a difference by ending a practice of psychotherapy that should have long ago been outlawed—so called conversion therapy.”

Buehler’s approval of HB 2307 on the Health Care Committee helped send the bill to a vote by the full Oregon House of Representatives and, on Tuesday, they went on to vote 41-18 to ban conversion therapy.

Historically, Central Oregon representatives have pulled social issues more toward the conservative end of the spectrum. But, in the context of other Central Oregon representatives, Buehler’s “yes” vote on HB 2307 helped to split the vote 2-2. Rep. Mike McClane, the Republican representative from District 55, which covers southeast Deschutes County and Crook County, also voted “yes,” while Rep. Gene Whisnant, who represents District 53 outside Bend, and Rep. Huffman whose District 59 covers parts of Deschutes, Jefferson and Wasco counties, voted “no.”

Had Buehler stuck with the rest of his Republican representatives on the Health Care Committee, there certainly is the possibility that the bill would have arrived on the floor of the Oregon House branded as a bipartisan idea; one that Democrats favor, but Republicans oppose. Instead, whether subtle or direct, Buehler’s ability to think and act as an independent, sent the bill for a vote based on its merits and not politics.

The bill now moves to the Senate for a full vote.

SIDE NOTES

Head of the Class

Incoming Superintendent Shay Mikalson looks to the future

BY ERIN ROOK

BY ERIN ROOK

Source Weekly: A major focus of your work has been on closing gaps PHOTO BY BYRON ROE PHOTOGRAPHY. in student achievement.

What challenges does the district face in this regard, and how will you set about addressing them as superintendent?

Shay Mikalson: As both a father and an educator, I am driven by a passion to personalize learning and a focus on delivering future-ready education today for each and every one of our students. In this effort, we are dedicated to ensuring that families have the opportunity to select the best school and learning environment for each student. Any program students and families select will teach the foundational and 21st century skills they’ll need, like communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity, to succeed in the colleges or careers of their choice. And finally, we are committed to defining and measuring what matters most so that the Bend-La Pine Schools can keep its promise to graduate every student a thriving citizen.

We have made great strides in graduation rates and closing the achievement gap for our students in poverty during the past five years, but we want to do better. We want every student to reach his or her full potential. The challenge in this work today, is that this effort demands that we must redefine the way we resource, support, teach, and take responsibility for our students to ensure they all have the skills and practical wisdom they need to not only participate in the global economy, but to lead it. We are building upon the successes of our past while continually focusing on our future be-

cause we know that our century-old system was built for a different time, a time in which most students were being prepared for an industrial economy instead of the knowledge-based one we find today.

Our economy and our students have changed. It is only logical that our approach to education must change, as well.

SW: You’ve overseen both career readiness and technology rollouts for the district. What new ideas are on your radar to build on the career-readiness and tech savvy of BendLa Pine students and why is this focus important?

SM: As we at BendLa Pine Schools continue to build on our past success, we must create the conditions for innovation to take our necessary next steps.

This will take action on many fronts such as our continued support of career and technical education options like our new hospitality and nursing programs, enhancing our work with local farmers/ranchers to make locally sourced foods available to our students, ensuring all students have access to arts, music, athletics and co-curricular activities in addition to world-class core curriculum, and continuing to find new and innovative ways to work with our partners in law enforcement, fire, and mental health to make sure all students have a safe school environment that is conducive to learning.

For our ultimate success forward will not be measured on average but instead by the diversity of talent we can nourish at all levels, in both breadth and depth, reaching out to capture and expand upon the talent of all students no matter their previous trajectory of achievement.

SW: On your website, part of your tagline is “promote justice.” What role does education play in advancing justice and what does that look like in Bend-La Pine Schools?

SM: Public education, and those of us dedicating our lives to its pursuit, has the responsibility to advocate for the needs of all students by acting to ensure that all students can learn as well as promoting the democratic values of preparing young people for equal and responsible citizenship, productive adulthood, and the ability to become all that they can become. For at our core, Bend-La Pine Schools is dedicated to eliminating the achievement gap that continues to divide our nation’s children along the lines of college readiness, race, class, language, and disability in order to ensure all of our students graduate capable of creating a future by design, not default.

After seven-year Superintendent of Bend-La Pine Schools Ron Wilkinson announced his plans to retire this summer, the district launched a national search for his replacement. In the end, though, they found someone close to home. Shay Mikalson, currently serving as the assistant superintendent, was selected as the district’s top pick last week.

Though Mikalson worked side-by-side with Wilkinson, he’s of a different generation and seems eager to blaze his own path. The 39-year-old educator and administrator previously served as superintendent of Redmond schools, and has held nearly every academic position at the secondary and district levels.

But his depth of experience is balanced by an awareness of social media and technology that is reflected not only in his professional accomplishments or consulting gigs, but simply in the way he presents himself. Case in point: Mikalson has a website and he blogs and tweets regularly.

We chatted with Mikalson to learn more about his goals and priorities for the district.

“Our economy and our students have changed. It is only logical that our approach to education must change, as well.”

Oregon’s newly minted Gov. Kate Brown made history Monday by signing a bill to register all voting-age Oregonians with DMV-issued IDs to vote. The legislation, which Brown had initiated while still Secretary of State, allows residents to opt-out of voter registration, instead of requiring them to opt in. The move is expected to add about 300,000 voters to the rolls.

Brown told reporters at Monday’s signing ceremony that the bill would reduce the costs and inconveniences associated with voting, as well as make it more secure. Oregon already has one of the highest voter turnout rates in the country, a fact that is often attributed to the state’s vote-bymail system. Newly enrolled voters will receive notification in the mail instructing them how to opt-out or select a party affiliation. Those who don’t choose a party will be labeled unaffiliated.

An effort by Oregon legislators to make it more difficult for parents to opt their children out of vaccinations failed before it really got started. Senate Bill 442, which had been introduced this session and sought to remove non-medical exemptions to Oregon law requiring school children to be vaccinated, was met with organized opposition from both lawmakers and parents and eventually withdrawn by its sponsor, family physician and Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward (D-Beaverton), last Wednesday. A similar bill also failed to take hold in Washington State.

But the Pacific Northwest is not alone in trying to clamp down on non-medical exemptions in the wake of the Disneyland measles outbreak. According to the Statesman Journal, 15 states have sought this year to strengthen childhood immunization requirements.

Though drought is typically a summertime topic, scientists and others are increasingly sounding the alarm about water shortages in winter. A senior water scientist with NASA recently wrote in a Los Angeles Times op-ed that California has just one year’s worth of water left in its reservoirs and there isn’t much groundwater left either. Apparently, this January was the driest since 1895, when precipitation was first recorded. Serious stuff for sure, but what does it have to do with Oregon? Just this Tuesday, two Oregon counties—ironically, Lake and Malhuer—joined all but one California county in declaring a drought emergency.

And it’s only March. And beyond the immediate impacts of drought, Central Oregon LandWatch Executive Director Paul Dewey agrees with a growing concern that Oregon will become a destination for climate change refugees. In other words: Expect more Californians.

Prepping for Pot

As legalization approaches, Bendites consider the implications

BY ERIN ROOK PHOTOS BY MATTHEW GRIMES

Were the legalization of weed a pregnancy, with its conception marked during the month of the election and its due date July 1, the day that pot is officially legal in Oregon, we’d be entering the third trimester. The nursery walls would be painted, the crib built, the cabinet filled with diapers and onesies.

But how is Bend preparing for the stork’s pending delivery?

It depends where you look. Preparations range from proactive to pensive to practically unconcerned.

The City: Laissez-faire

Though Measure 91 did not create an allowance for cities to impose their own taxes on recreational marijuana, many municipalities passed taxing ordinances anyway. The hope being that the State Legislature will grandfather them in. In fact, according to the Oregonian, some 70 towns and cities— including Redmond, La Pine and Madras—passed a weed tax before election day and are now crossing their fingers that the state legislature will let them collect some 15 percent of marijuana revenues.

But Bend was not one of those cities—and may miss out on additional funding for its police department and schools if the state grandfathers in pre-election local taxes.

Under the structure laid out by Measure 91, an excise tax is to be paid at the grower level to the tune of $35 an ounce for flower, $10 an ounce for leaves, and $5 per immature plant. According to the voter’s pamphlet, that’s estimated to bring in anywhere from $17 million to $40 million annually. The bulk of those revenues (40 percent) will go to the Common School Fund. The remainder will go to Mental Health, Alcoholism and Drug Services (20 percent), State Police (15 percent), city enforcement of the measure (10 percent), county enforcement of the measure (10 percent) and the Oregon Health Authority For Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (5 percent).

Still, just because Bend City Council chose not to pursue a local pot tax doesn’t mean the City has been ignoring legalization.

“The City has been aware of this upcoming change and discussing it for some time,” says City Manager Eric King.

He goes on to explain that city councilors and staff including attorneys, human resources, the planning department and Bend Police officials have been engaged in research and attended conferences on the subject.

Yet despite all this “education,” City staff and Council have declined to take any specific actions and instead are taking a hands-off approach.

“There has been no Council direction to develop any regulations on marijuana,” King says. “Bend’s not working on establishing a marijuana tax or any type of ban. The Council has reiterated that the State has authority on this issue.

OLCC [Oregon Liquor Control Commission] is the responsible agent.”

King does say, though, that there are some areas that will require clarification, such as driving under the influence and zoning issues.

“The main concern the City has is that there is a lack of clarity about what constitutes impaired driving. There’s no meter or blood test, so it’ll have to be observed,” he says, adding that there are currently a “handful” of police officers trained in recognizing when someone is driving under the influence of marijuana.

When it comes to land use, the City is waiting on the State Legislature to fill in some of the blanks in the ballot measure—specifically with regard to the zoning and density of commercial marijuana business. Once it does, staff will have a better idea of how to manage zoning and other issues related to the establishment of retail operations.

“At this time, medical marijuana establishments are treated like medical clinics, and allowed in commercial zones.

State regulations require they have 1,000-foot buffers from schools,” King explains. “We expect there will be similar regulations from the state for recreational marijuana establishments, and we can address their locations in our zoning code.”

But, on the whole, he says he feels the City is on track, and prepared for the legalization of recreational pot, even though many cities in Oregon are pressuring the legislature for greater local control.

Tourism: Not Gonna Cultivate It!

Once retail shops start to pop up, and perhaps even sooner, Oregon will no doubt become an increasingly attractive destination for weed lovers. And Bend—with its already vibrant medicinal marijuana market, high density of reggae-loving snowboarders, and established craft beer scene— seems prime for weed tourism.

But if a Weed Walk or Pot Path are destined to follow in the footsteps of the popular Ale Trail, Visit Bend hasn’t started drafting that. Instead, the tourism agency’s Executive Director Doug La Placa is taking a wait-and-see approach.

“It’s difficult to predict what, if any, impact the legalization of recreational marijuana will have on Bend’s tourism industry,” La Placa explains. “My initial thought is that there are other cities in Oregon that are much better positioned to capitalize on the potential of weed tourism.”

Bend, he says, already has “dozens of other compelling reasons to visit”—such as the craft beer culture and strong

summer and winter sports scenes. And while tourism agencies don’t typically turn away potential visitors, La Placa posits that weed tourism is too risky.

“I don’t think the inevitable controversy that would erupt over a publicly-funded marijuana tourism marketing campaign is worth the likely negligible economic upside for the industry,” La Placa explains. “If another tourism marketing organization feels differently, they can cultivate the opportunity. Visit Bend isn’t going to touch it.”

He says he recognizes that marijuana tourism can serve as a source of economic stimulus, particularly for cities without another tourist attraction. For Bend, however, La Placa says it’s not the city’s best bet.

“At this point, we have no plans to promote Bend as a recreational marijuana destination,” La Placa affirms. “We don’t have any moral or ethical problem with it, we just don’t see it as a leading competitive advantage for Bend’s tourism industry.”

FEATURE NEWS Grow Shops: Ready for business

Bend has no shortage of garden centers, indoor grow shops and hydroponic outfitters. And while they are typically discreet about the extent to which their customers may be growing pot, as opposed to heirloom tomatoes, it’s no secret that these shops have what the small-scale grower needs.

“Definitely a large percentage—possibly 80 percent or more—of our business is related to marijuana growing, but most people are pretty quiet about what they are growing,” says Corey Spurlock with Green Leaf Garden Center.

He adds that while Green Leaf doesn’t current provide specific advice on growing marijuana—after all, many of the shop’s products could be used to grow garden veggies, flowers, or indoor houseplants—he sees that changing with the legalization of recreational marijuana.

“I see our business growing substantially with the upcoming change in laws. We are already getting calls and questions from people wanting to buy equipment they will need to get started with the allowed four plants,” Spurlock says. “While we do have some larger commercial customers, the majority of our business is from smaller, personal sized gardens by people that are growing presumably for themselves and/or their OMMP [Oregon Medical Marijuana Program] card holders.”

To cater to those individuals interested in growing for personal recreational use, Green Leaf has already started advertising a starter kit of sorts, with everything a new grower would need to get growing—including a small grow tent, ballast, light, ventilation, timer, and environmental controller.

In addition to bundling supplies, Spurlock says Green Leaf plans to offer classes for folks just getting started.

“We will be planning these types of activities in the future as needed, depending on the influx of new growers,” he says. “Our staff is very educated on plant growth in general and the basics apply to all plants, not just marijuana.”

While Spurlock expects that more grow shops will emerge to take advantage of this growing industry, he says he welcomes competition and hopes that legalization will help smaller local businesses thrive.

“Personally, the biggest challenge that I foresee is the stigma that marijuana is a bad evil drug—the reefer madness mentality. That and the fear of it still being federally illegal,” Spurlock says. “As far as opportunities, I think the sky is the limit. It is the fastest growing industry in the United States right now.”

And while he says he’s not much of a pot-smoker himself, he hopes that legalization will inspire a broader conversation on not only the medicinal, but also the economic benefits of marijuana.

“I’d like people to have an open mind regarding the future of marijuana,” he says.

Labs: Cannibis Chemistry

Whether recreational marijuana stokes the fire of Bend’s tourism industry, it’s likely to turn up the Bunsen burner on emerging cannabis testing labs, like Bend-based CannAlytical Research.

The local lab currently tests cannabis and its derivatives for potency, strain and the presence of undesirable elements such as microbes, pesticides, and residual solvent. These testing services are required under Oregon’s medical marijuana law, and it’s expected that the State Legislature will enact similar testing requirements for recreational pot.

“If recreational cannabis is required to be tested, and we certainly believe it should, then yes, of course, we expect an increase in business,” says Carlos Cummings, CannAlytical Research’s owner. “We also expect many new entries to this burgeoning market, including new labs.”

In anticipation of increasing demand for marijuana testing services, CannAlytical Research is increasing its staff and upgrading its laboratory.

“We have hired a scientist, we’re currently interviewing analytical chemists, and we have a new HPLC [high performance liquid chromatography], to better and more efficiently analyze and research cannabis in our lab,” Cummings says.

That said, Cummings expects only a slight bump in business on July 1, anticipating that the real action will take place sometime in 2016.

“It will take the OLCC and the State quite a bit longer to write the laws that will govern recreational cannabis and for the recreational market to become established,” Cum-

mings explains. “We do not expect a significant increase in testing until perhaps after recreational dispensaries are actually open.”

Still, he is looking to the future now. He anticipates new labs opening up and the stricter regulation of the credentials of testing staff, such as requiring lab supervisors to hold advanced degrees in chemistry.

“The main challenge is controlling the burgeoning recreational market and protecting the established medical program,” Cummings adds. “Legalization has so many potential benefits, I almost don’t know where to begin; taxes for our community and social programs, awareness, education, research, and understanding of a miraculous plant, financial gain across our economy and classes, better soils, air, water, well being and health, and the cure for cancer, etc.”

While the jury is still out on if and how medical and recreational establishments might interact with one another, he says he wants to be sure that recreational weed enhances rather than threatens medical marijuana.

“As cannabis regulation moves forward at the recreational level, the OMMP program should also be strengthened,” he says. “Patients should have access to medicine-grade cannabis for their ailments and diseases.”

Schools and Parents: Let’s talk about drugs

While much of the preparations for legal weed are focused on the business side of the equation, some are gearing up for a defensive effort aimed at keeping marijuana out of the hands of children.

FEATURE NEWS In some ways, it’s a continuation of the work already being done. The fact that weed will be legal for adults 18 and over isn’t likely to change the core message from schools and drug awareness campaigners—that drug and alcohol use are illegal for minors and come with real risks.

“The District does not foresee significant changes in the educational content or approach to drug education based on the legalization of marijuana,” explains incoming Bend-La Pine superintendent Shay Mikalson. “Currently, education focuses on the harmful effects of a number of drugs and substances, legal and illegal, from a health and wellness standpoint.”

He points out that the curriculum currently covers the “harmful effects and dangers” of alcohol, which is, of course, legal for adults over 21. When students return to school post-legalization in the fall, however, marijuana will likely be highlighted.

“As marijuana becomes legalized, and access to it changes as edibles and other forms continue to grow in their accessibility, it is likely that teachers will seek to educate students on the harmful effects and dangers of this soon-to-be-legal drug,” Mikalson explains.

But it’s not just children that are being primed for increased weed education. At the OLCC’s marijuana listening session in Bend, a number of attendees emphasized the importance of educating parents so they can help keep pot out of their kids’ hands.

“Education is paramount, especially of parents,” says Barbara Stoefen, who serves on the board of the Shared Future Coalition and speaks in local schools on preventing and responding to drug addiction. “Parents need to fully understand the risks that marijuana poses for their children, and that it is indeed addictive for some.”

And while she believes that the drug education in local middle and high schools is adequate, she says it could go further toward providing youth with concrete tools to avoid drugs.

“We tell kids not to engage in certain activities and behaviors, but don’t offer them the necessary tools. ‘Just say no’ doesn’t work and is not a solution,” Stoefen says. “Another coalition of which I’m a board member, the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention, has a youth advisory committee that is putting the finishing touches on a video to teach drug refusal skills to teens. We are also in the early stages of developing a website exclusively for teens.”

She says she hopes these projects will be up and running by the time school starts again in the fall. Another thing Stoefen, whose own daughter battled with addiction, would like to see is more resources for students who are experiencing addiction personally, or being impacted by the addiction of a family member.

“Drug abuse and addiction exists in more families than most people realize, and children raised in these homes are highly stressed and at greater risk for addiction themselves,” she explains. “It would be incredible to have weekly support groups for at-risk students, providing an opportunity for them to develop coping skills.”

Ultimately, Stoefen says she does not believe Bend is ready for legal weed, but has some ideas about how it could get there. While it’s impossible to anticipate every possible outcome, she says, more time and resources could go into developing a solid, communitybased plan.

“There is no question this new law will change Bend, and it will change Oregon. Are we ready? Oh my goodness, no. The logistics of implementing a new law like this, and the ripple effects, will be far reaching,” Stoefen explains. “We as a city need to be vigilant about doing the best job possible with implementation. Much will be required of our City leaders and a task force could prove very helpful.”

When Metal Goes Acoustic

Guitar virtuosos Rodrigo y Gabriela are flamenco head bangers…sort of

SUGGESTS...

BY ANNE PICK

BY ETHAN MAFFEY

Listen closely and you can hear it. Amid the flourishes of Latin strumming and percussive hand slapping, there it is—the tortured sound of grumbling heavy metal shrieks through the otherwise intimate music of acoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela.

The story is well known—as Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero have told it many times—two teenage kids grew up in Mexico, bonded over their love for metal music and later played in a band together before a random, self-imposed, exile to Dublin, Ireland.

And that’s where the music changed.

That’s where the two went through a musical metamorphosis. The pair doffed overt thrash metal guitar rock—for the most part—and honed their acoustic prowess.

“Our heavy metal band, Tierra Acida, didn’t succeed and we figured our chances of getting a record deal were over,” Sanchez told Premier Guitar in 2010. “We were tired of chasing after [a deal], and the only thing that we knew for sure was that we just wanted to play music. […] So we moved to Europe. To make the move easier and lighten the load, we decided to sell all of our electric instruments and travel with two cheap acoustic guitars.”

Sixteen years and five studio albums later, it’s clear they made the right move.

Busking on street corners, playing small venues and the exposure to European styles of guitar fingering—blended with their first love of metal—endowed Sanchez and Quintero with the ability to take those two acoustic guitars and transition into musicians capable of intimate unplugged performances and, eventually, packed house shows at stadium venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Their 2006, self-titled, breakout album showcased their commitment to a newly-minted thrash acoustic genre with songs like the thunderous track “Diablo Rojo.”

(Or “Red Devil,” if that helps convince you of the homage to metal their music really represents.) On that track, Sanchez’s fingers whiz through dazzling melodies—mimicking growling vocals—while Quintero hammers her right hand into the guitar amid blurred strumming, creating rich bass and pulverizing percussion; elements that beg for the head to bang more than for the toes to tap.

Brown Eyed Blue The Central Oregon-raised duo of sisters Janelle and Lindsey Johnson grew up on Motown, which certainly influences their soulful sound. From mashups of Marvin Gaye and Ed Sheeran songs to thoughtful originals, the duo blends city-soul with their Oregon folk roots. Both sisters play piano, guitar and cajon, and (not surprisingly) harmonize their genetically-similar vocals together beautifully. Expect originals and covers ranging from James Brown and Bill Withers to Coldplay and John Legend. 6-8 pm. Thursday, March 19. The Lot, 745 NW Columbia St. No cover.

HOT & SPICY. RODRIGO & GABRIELA, 3/21. PHOTO BY TINA KORHONEN.

Since that sophomore album in 2006, Sanchez and Quintero definitely still blow out the brains of concert-goers with the metal aspect of their music, but the acoustic side also adds an innate intelligence to the songs they write. Think of their choices as musical frosted wheat; the music is perfect for zoning out, but also ripe for earnest interpretation and digestion. In fact, in very unlike-metal-fashion—where the instrumentation can bleed into itself creating a gory soup—Sanchez and Quintero use very crisp fingering to delineate quite intentional and intricate stories about people.

The duo’s latest album, 9 Dead Alive, tackles such historical figures as Underground Railroad heroine Harriet Tubman (“Misty Moses”), Spanish guitarist Antonio de Tor-

res Jurado (“The Soundmaker”) and Norwegian Explorer Fridtjof Nansen (“FRAM”) in academic fashion.

History lessons aside, what Sanchez and Quintero bring to the table with 9 Dead Alive is still the same daredevil blend of Irishtinged, Spanish guitar-influenced and intimate heavy metal music the two stumbled upon when they left their roots to explore the acoustic landscape of Europe while still holding on quite strongly to their love of metal.

Outlaw Country!

BY JOSH GROSS

SCAN THE QR CODE

Tracorum San Francisco-based Tracorum plays music that at its heart is a gumbo of rock and roll. With a rock and soul base to most songs, they also incorporate honky-tonk, southern swamp pop and elements of gospel stomp, Latin-Caribbean and funk.

Dancing shoes are a must for any Tracorum performance. But it’s just as easy to sit back and listen: warm, rich vocals paired with strong songwriting feel like a story told by a good friend. 9:30 pm. Saturday, Mar 21. Silver Moon Brewing, 24 NW Greenwood Ave. No cover.

Season 5 of the brilliantly written animated comedy “Archer” just started streaming on Netflix. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re seriously missing out because one of the plot arcs for season 5 is a main character’s desire to become an “outlaw country” superstar. So in honor of that quest, here’s a mixtape full of great outlaw country tunes, including classics like “Mama Tried,” from Merle Haggard, modern masters like Hank Williams III, and a couple tunes from the most terrifying man ever to wield a guitar, Mojo Nixon. We also included the Kenny Loggins collaboration with the Archer character Cherlene on the outlaw country adaptation of “Danger Zone.”

Yee-haw!

Grizzly Business The first track off of Grizzly Business’ self-titled EP immediately recognizes The Strokes and The Shins. From melodic guitar melodies to dynamic drum beats, the songs quickly glide. And, while the San Diego-based band features smoother vocals than those of Julian Casablancas, giving them an easily digestible indie rock sound, there’s a certain catchy bounce that songs like “New Dog Old Tricks” echo the golden age of indie rock. 9 pm.

Natalie Clark is Invading America

The Scottish pop singer-songwriter who could strom the world

BY HAYLEY JO MURPHY

Two years ago, Natalie Clark found two very important fans: The Scottish soul-pop singer had already determined to ditch her teaching job and pursue a dream to be a singer when Richard Branson, best known for launching Virgin Records, called her up to stage at a BBC event in Glasgow. She accepted the challenge, and belted out a beautiful a cappella version of her own song, “Weakness.”

Branson, who has been around the block more than a few times, was stunned. “That was absolutely and utterly stunning,” he proclaimed, the same sort of praise that launches careers from “The Voice” or “America’s Got Talent” in the United States.

Soon after, she gained another fan, Nick Grimshaw with the BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show. With a wide reach throughout the United Kingdom, the airplay he provided was enough to convince Clark to pack up her self-released debut EP Eagles and head to Los Angeles to conquer America as well.

For the past year, in hopes of gaining a following in the United States, Clark has been recording, performing, and writing in her new home. Last summer, she toured the East Coast, and this spring she is working her way up the West Coast.

Currently the singer-songwriter performs both original songs as well as creative covers of popular (and controversial) hits like Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” and Jessie J’s “Bang Bang.”

Her original songs follow this same tenor—upbeat tunes that intend to leave the listener feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Her lyrics are catchy and likely to be hummed long after the show.

Jostling Your Nervous System

The Quick & Easy Boys interrupt your mundane daily routine with blaring guitars

BY ERIC SKELTON

The Quick & Easy Boys like to do things their own way—with a smirk and a wink. Originally coming together in Eugene 10 years ago to play funk music, they put their own twist on the style and decided to come out every night dressed as cowboys.

“The biggest problem with white kids from the suburbs playing funk music is they try to dress like Bootsy Collins,” explains guitarist and lead vocalist Jimmy Russell, “so we went with our roots and dressed like cowboys instead.”

Now based in Portland, the trio eventually ditched the cowboy hats and explored other sounds—melding bits of honky tonk, psychedelia, funk, country and folk around a core of bluesy American rock. But those early cowboy days laid the foundation for a band with a quirky sense of humor and an equal distaste for conventionality. A quick glance at the unabashedly lo-fi cover of their 2014 album, Follow Us

Overboard (which features a photoshopped collage of two donkeys, a cartoon penguin, and a flying goldfish), certainly displays they haven’t lost their flair for the absurd.

“We’ve always been incredibly silly and have a good time,” offers Russell. “We’ve never been afraid of acting goofy or making a scene.”

Many of those “scenes” feature onstage antics unfit for these pages (be sure to ask them about what happened at a pajama party they played in Idaho if you ever get the chance), but trust us when we say they know how to throw one hell of a party.

Averaging 140 gigs a year, they’ve grown comfortable enough in front of an audience to routinely abandon set lists in favor of a freewheeling set adapted to that night’s mood.

The goal, they say, is to put the crowd at ease and let the band’s high energy brand of ultra-danceable rock that layers

vocal harmonies and blaring guitars over upbeat drums (or “Jimi Hendrix meets The Police” as Russell likes to describe their sound) ignite a full-fledged party.

“Everybody works all day and gets stressed out with their daily routines,” says Russell, “so our intention when we get on stage is to jostle them with good ol’ American rock’n’roll.”

He adds, “We try to bring as much energy as we can to jostle people’s nervous systems, so all of a sudden they’ve forgotten about all their mundane worries and are just having a really fun time.”

Highlighted presenters.

This year’s event will feature 18 presenters—twelve speakers and six entertainers. We’re excited to announce three of those presenters right here. We’ll announce the full schedule at the event on Saturday, April 18. Don’t miss it!

Nicole LeFavour An American politician, educator and activist, LeFavour served as an Idaho State Senator from 2008 to 2012. In 2006, LeFavour criticized the passage of Idaho Amendment 2, which made it unconstitutional to recognize or perform same-sex marriages or civil unions. In 2007, she was named one of Idaho Business Review’s Women of the Year. LeFavour was involved in Idaho's Add The Words campaign in 2014, which sought to add language including “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the state’s human rights act. LeFavour was featured in the documentary, “Add the Words,” which premiered at the BendFilm Festival in October 2014.

Tchicaya Missamou Raised in the Republic of Congo during their civil war, Missamou was recruited by rebel forces in 1992 and taught to fight at age thirteen. In 1997, he fled his homeland, eventually arriving in America and joining the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2003, he was instrumental in finding and releasing captured Private Jessica Lynch in Iraq. Missamou founded Warrior Fitness in Valencia, California, inspired by his military experience and his belief that freedom is not something to take for granted—it’s something to live. His memoir, “In the Shadow of Freedom,” is the uplifting story of his quest to achieve his own American Dream.

Wyatt Carrell & Hayden French

Just one of six entertainment acts this year, these Bend High School students are magicians specializing in sleight of hand, cardistry and illusion.

A few days ago, my five-year-old son discovered a piece of his artwork crumpled up at the bottom of my bathroom trashcan.

“Mom!” he cried, retrieving and smoothing out said artwork.

“I made this for you.”

My heart filled with remorse as I looked down at the bright green Post-it in his hand (which, suffice it to say, hadn’t wound up in the garbage by accident). On one side, there were three parallel lines—each with a different shape drawn on its top end.

“These were your magic wands,” he explained. Then he flipped the sticky note over to reveal a small square with the words “Cade loves Mom” written inside. He looked up at me (twisting that dagger a little further into my gut) and said nothing else.

Now, it should be noted that I am, without a doubt, his biggest cheerleader when it comes to artistic creations (no matter how big or small). In fact, it’s very likely that I encourage art-related activity more so than any other… Hell, we even have an “art room” in our house—yes, an area dedicated solely to drawing, painting, crafting, sewing, coloring, imagining and creating.

Needless to say, my collection of saved child-art literally overflows from my file-cabinet drawers (not to mention off the refrigerator, closet doors, mirrors, etc.). From the very first painting Cade brought home from preschool—a perfect depiction of abstract expressionism with its colorful display of splattered dots and dripping lines—to the countless oil-on-cardstock masterpieces revealing his then-newfound love for rainbows, I’d say we have a gallery’s worth.

And since the influx of arts and crafts has only continued to rise with Cade’s growing school involvement, I reckon I’ve become more selective with the keepsakes and showcasings.

But now, I’ve officially been dubbed an evil mommy who doesn’t give two shits about the powerful, magic wands bestowed upon her… Pay no mind to the cheery admiration and celebratory feedback that Evil Mommy radiates 99 percent of the time, because that lacking one percent is still enough to break a tiny heart.

Perhaps a bit of compromising is in order. And perhaps I’m not the only mother in need of an effective template for addressing similar situations of guilt…

Dear little one, Believe me when I say that I love and admire your progressing creativity. I am the proudest mom in all the land, and I couldn’t feel more special to receive your very first written love notes, stick-figure drawings and “watch how good I stay inside the lines” coloring-book pages.

That said, you will someday thank me for refusing to hoard every single work of art you’ve ever created. Because the ones that are categorically worthy—well, they already have (and will continue to have) a special place in eternity. I mean, do you really think I would ever discard a work of genius potentially worth millions upon your debut at the Louvre?

If you trust me (which you should; I’m your mother), you will learn to accept my exclusive selection of mementos as motivation to expand your beautiful-but-repetitious artistic style—all without taking offense when an unlucky creation happens to find itself buried under a used Kleenex. And as compromises go, I promise to respect your creativity by at least photographing those magic wands before sending them to the dark side.

Still (and always) your biggest fan, Mom

Fat Tuesdays Brings New Orleans Closer Authentic Cajun cuisine arrives in Central Oregon

BY DELANO LAVIGNE

TASTY AND SPICY, FAT TUESDAYS BRINGS THE REAL TASTE OF THE BIG EASY. PHOTOS BY DELANO LAVIGNE.

The approximately 2,300 miles that separate Bend from New Orleans’ world famous Cajun cuisine has recently been reduced to a mere drive across town. That’s right; the unique and storied flavors of Acadian-inspired Cajun cuisine have arrived in Central Oregon. No need to wait for some oneoff bacchanalian trip to New Orleans, the ambrosial smell of the “Big Easy’s” holy-trinity (bell pepper, onion and celery) has arrived in Bend.

We are talking about heartwarming Gumbo, wonderfully seasoned Jambalaya with Andouille sausage, creamy Shrimp and Grits, deliciously “muddy” Blackened Catfish, perfectly spiced Crawfish étouffée and the ever humble Po’Boy sandwich.

And, what’s more, Fat Tuesdays offers more than the Cajun essentials. The menu is packed with southern-inspired dishes and drinks. Not to be missed are the fried pickles.

Rolled in a cornmeal based batter and seasoned with dill, the pickles are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside (piping hot as well so give them a minute before you take a bite). For a rare choice that does not come out of the deep fryer (we are talking southern cuisine here, after all), try the white wine and garlic sautéed Riverboat prawns. For

drinks, I recommend the vodka-induced Sweet Tea. It is not quite as festive as the very sweet and also popular Bayou Juice but provides a great twist to a southern classic. There is also a selection of Louisiana beers on tap. Once the glasses are empty and the plates wiped clean do not shy away from indulging in, ney, pigging-out on Fat Tuesdays’ most popular dessert, the truly delectable bread pudding.

Hard to imagine it has taken so long for a Cajun-inspired restaurant to show up on the scene in a place as food and restaurant friendly as Bend, which is what owner Vince Parker thought when he first visited the town. “Bend has the same friendly southern hospitality similar to [my] home in Louisiana and with all the food choices [in Bend] there hasn’t been an authentic Cajun restaurant featuring ‘tried and true’ southern favorites,” says Parker with an authentic southern accent not commonly heard in this part of the country.

Originally from Monroe, Louisiana, Parker arrived in Bend via the Bay Area where he had opened a similar restaurant to Fat Tuesdays. But with his children now living in Bend, Parker has made Central Oregon his new home.

And, with him, Parker brings cherished family recipes, a

love of southern hospitality and his trusted executive chef, Dee Green.

Parker also wants to use Fat Tuesdays as a place to share his love of music, in particular and in some ways expectantly, the blues. That means Bendites can look forward to live blues music on a weekly basis. “Bend loves their music and what better way to enjoy the Nawlin’s vibe and energy than with free live blues supporting local and northwest talent during lunch and every Friday and Saturday night,” says Marketing Director Lara Wettig.

Fat Tuesdays is slightly off Bend’s well-trodden restaurant path, but worth a visit when you are in the mood for a festive and family friendly restaurant that promises a robust dose of southern cuisine and hospitality.

“My philosophy is to have customers come as guests and leave as family,” shares Parker.

Fat Tuesdays 61276 S Hwy 97, #140 Happy hour all day every Tuesday.

Live music every Friday and Saturday.

MICRO REVIEW

Chocolate Milk for the 21+ Set Sunriver Brewing’s new milk stout is a sweet novelty

BY KEVIN GIFFORD

As reported in last week’s beer issue, Sunriver Brewing has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past year.

Bottles of Vicious Mosquito IPA and Shred Head Winter Ale can be found more-or-less statewide now, and taps are making appearances in Bend’s bars with far more regularity than before. And, really, it couldn’t have happened to a more talented bunch of brewers—the floral hoppiness of Vicious in particular will undoubtedly make it another local pub favorite once word gets around.

Sunriver’s next bottle release is the Cocoa Cow milk stout, a genre you don’t see much at all around Central Oregon.

“Milk stout” doesn’t mean they’re actually pouring milk into the brew kettle— instead, the brewer adds lactose, or milk sugar, to the mix. Lactose isn’t consumed by the yeast in the beer during fermentation, resulting in a final product with more body and extra sweetness. (The genre was created a century ago in England but is most popular in the US now, spearheaded by the bottled Milk Stout Nitro from Colorado’s Left Hand Brewing.)

In Cocoa Cow, this sweetness is further enhanced by the addition of roasted cocoa nibs from Ghana, giving the 6% ABV stout a thick, full sweetness without becoming overly cloying. It’s worth a try for any dark beer fan—and if you’re in town for the Sunriver Mudslinger race this Sunday, the brewery will have another milk stout there, this one called Mudder’s Milk and flavored with flaked oats and Amarillo hops.

FOOD & DRINK EVENTS Food Events Feast From The Fire Dinner & Live Music Come enjoy an evening of live music, lawn games, and a feast of ranch-raised meats and delicious sides prepared by Chef Ryan and his team.

CULTURE Plan Ahead

TEDxBend will sell out its tickets!

BY THE SOURCE STAF

Here’s the dilemma: The organizers at TEDxBend want to keep the list of speakers a secret until the day of the event.

They want you to trust them.

And, here’s the problem: Even though the event isn’t for another month, tickets for this year’s TEDxBend, a day-long event of inspiring speeches and ideas, go on sale this Friday.

Last year, they sold out in four days.

This year, they expect to sell out even faster.

Yup. You need to take a leap of faith.

But we’re here to help: The organizers gave us a peek at the list of speakers. And yes, they are impressive. And, what’s more, they agreed to allow us to provide a sneak peek at two of those speakers. Each from very different backgrounds, but both incredibly strong and principled individuals who believe in the American dream, but perhaps in different manifestations.

Speaker Profile: Tchicaya Missamou

BY PHIL BUSSE

It is a storyline that would sound unbelievable if it were a Hollywood screenplay: Tchicaya Missamou was born in Brazzaville, the capital of the Central African country of the Republic of the Congo. For the first decade of his life, he lived in relative peace. But as a teenager, he was pulled, as a “child soldier,” into a brewing civil war. Unrest was fomenting in the country—and Missamou was part of those disruptive forces, until he started his own militia that helped ferry white diplomats and businesspeople out of the country just as a brutal war was erupting. (Over the course of just a few months, that war claimed 10,000 lives.) But these missions were unpopular, and his family was attacked and tortured in retaliation. His mother was raped in front of him, and their home set on fire while they were inside.

Three years later, in 2000, Missamou escaped to America—where he joined the Marines and served a six-month tour in Iraq before once again returning to the Republic of Congo to try and help his father, who had been arrested. But instead of rescuing his father, he was imprisoned himself and eventually shot during an attempted escape.

Missamou will speak at this year’s TEDxBend, and the Source recently caught up with him to discuss his life since the Marines—as a successful businessman who has launched a tough-as-nails fitness program, the Warrior Fitness Camp, and as the founder for Hope for Congo, a nonprofit that raises funds for his home country. His memoir, In The Shadow of Freedom, recounts many of the different turns in his life.

Source Weekly: Given your past, it would seem as if you have given a lot of thought about what “family” and “home” mean. Can you provide definitions for each?

Tchicaya Missamou: I thought at a young age that family is who you choose to surround yourself with. Your family does not always come from the same DNA. A man should be able to create a family wherever he is located. I was born in the Congo; I left my immediate family there but I was able to create a new home and a new family in America. My family is my wife and children, but also the community of “Warriors” we’ve created in our gym.

SW: Are you ever homesick for the Congo?

TM: When people ask me this question they get surprised with my answer. The country of my birth was never the country of my dream. Since the age of four, I dreamt of living in America. I was made in the Congo, and molded in America. I love both countries but I am not homesick. I am living the American Dream.

SW: It is interesting that after spending years as a “child soldier,” when you arrived in America you decided to join the Marines. Didn’t you want to get away as far as possible from war?

FROM CHILD SOLDIER TO SAVIOR, TCHICAYA MISSAMOU WITH HIS NONPROFIT HOPE FOR CONGO.

TM: The first white man I ever met was a Marine who was working at the U.S. Embassy in the Congo. When I asked him how could I be like him, he smacked the back of my head and said, “You will never be a Marine.” When I became a child soldier, I was inspired by American war movies like Rambo, Delta Force, etc.… Two years after coming to America, I was approached by the Marine recruiter who helped make my dream a reality. On March 22, 2000, I went to bootcamp.

SW: How do you define the “American Dream,” and what barrier do you see most people have toward reaching that?

TM: I was always fit since I was a child. My first job in America was a janitor at a local martial arts studio, and six months later I started training the students. In the Marines, I found myself training sailors and Marines when we got deployed overseas. I always wanted to be part of the solution, and not part of problem, especially when people asked me to help them lose weight so they can get promoted. One day, I was approached by two young ladies who asked me if I could get them in shape for a wedding. I started training them in my garage and, six months later, I could not count the number of people I was training. It was then that I decided to

open a gym. For me, the American dream is the ability to follow your passion and to believe in the vision. If you love what you do, it’s not called work. Most people have trouble reaching their greatest potential because they fear failure.

They should know that failure is part of your success.

SW: You have also started and manage the Hope for Congo Foundation. Can you share a success story from those endeavors?

TM: I started the HCF to help the children in need. To inspire, motivate and empower people in Africa through education. Hope for Congo raised more than $800,000 worth of medical supplies to help the Congolese people who were affected by war. My team and I went back to the Congo to donate the medical supplies at the local hospital and met with the first lady of the Congo.

SW: A common denominator from your pursuits seems to be a strong belief that leadership skills are essential for success. Who are some leaders that you respect?

TM: I have respect for leaders like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Theresa, and Nelson Mandela. These people went above a nd beyond to create a better place for us.

FORMER IDAHO STATE LEGISLATURE NICOLE LEFAVOUR (LEFT) HAS BEEN ARRESTED “8 OR 9 TIMES” WHILE ADVOCATING FOR AN LGBT-INCLUSIVE NON-DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE. SHE WILL SPEAK AT THE 2015 TEDXBEND.

In 2004, the Bend City Council added sexual orientation and gender identity to its non-discrimination ordinance.Three years later, the state followed suit. But in neighboring Idaho, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists and their supporters have been fighting for years just to have such an addition seriously considered by the state legislature.

Their campaign is the subject of the documentary Add the Words, which screened at last year’s BendFilm Fest. In part, what makes the film so painfully compelling is that the film’s central conflict is never resolved— and it continues to this day.

Nicole LeFavour, a writing professor and former lawmaker, is leading that charge. Idaho’s first openly gay legislator, LeFavour served in the State House from 2004 to 2008 and the State Senate from 2008 to 2012.

“For eight years we had been bringing legislation to lawmakers and had not even once had a public hearing,” LeFavour tells the Source.

Frustrated by the lack of progress, LeFavour and other activists tried civil disobedience, holding their first action on Feb. 3, 2014. They posted sticky notes in the statehouse and they slept on the steps, but lawmakers always found a way to ignore them. So they upped the ante, creating a human wall to block lawmakers’ entrance to the chamber.

“We felt we had tried everything else,” she says. “It grew out of increasing efforts to get them to hear us.”

This year, LeFavour says, they were hopeful. They had drafted a compromise bill and secured a Republican co-sponsor in the House and the Senate. They even checked in with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to see if the language would be agreeable to House Speaker and Senate President Pro-Tem—both LDS church members—but the church declined to take a position. LeFavour says the bill has majority support, but the Speaker and Pro-Tem refuse to hear it.

“Most lawmakers we’ve talked to have LGBT family, I’d be surprised if they don’t,” she explains. “I think that they do both feel they need the blessing of the church.”

At the end of January, activists saw a glimmer of hope when the bill finally had a hearing in the House State Affairs committee, but it never advanced.

“It has to be more difficult for them to do nothing than to do something,” LeFavour says.

That’s why she and the other demonstrators continue the fight. To date, some 120 protestors have been arrested. Not for anything violent, but typically for “trespassing,” or not moving out of the way when officers ask them to. LeFavour says she has been arrested eight or nine times herself—including twice the day before she called the Source.

“I think we’re close, everyone agrees were close,” she says with conviction. “They have plenty of time left in the session.”

LeFavour will speak at the 2015 TEDxBend about her experiences with civil disobedience.

The story of Gena Goodman-Campbell’s childhood adventures spent exploring the gullies of Oaks Bottom Preserve and dunes of Cannon Beach rooted her artistic sensibilities—and, this and next month, the visual exhibit of this Oregonian wanderlust is on display at Lone Pine Coffee Roasters. Her “Bird Nests of Oregon,” which evokes the naturalist sketches of 19th century explorers and ecologists is, she says, “a culmination in an artistic evolution, a unique merging of naturalism and art.”

Hued in the deep browns and soft greens of the high desert, the collection of nine drawings reveals Goodman-Campbell’s love affair with the Central Oregon landscape. When she’s not leading area hikes or lobbying the U.S. Congress on behalf of the environment for her day job as the Central Oregon Wilderness Coordinator at the Oregon Natural Desert Association, the artist still finds herself inspired by and immersed in nature.

“Nature is really my primary muse,” she says. “I have always been drawn to plants, animals and organic shapes as subjects. I’ve found that inspiration is a truly renewable natural resource.”

The landscapes and habitats that the conservationist works tirelessly to protect served as direct inspiration for “Bird Nests of Oregon.”

From Oregon’s state bird (the Western meadowlark) to the singular and ostentatious harlequin duck, Goodman-Campbell’s work is a stripped-away collection of drawings that are focused on the intricate beauty of the nest and the fragile eggs contained within.

“We often think of wilderness areas primarily as places to hike or camp, but these places also are where many animals make their homes,” she says.

Looking at the richly detailed sketches, one assumes that their creator has spent untold hours immersed in the avian breeding grounds.

But for Goodman-Campbell, it was important to make her study from nature guides and online resources rather than exploring the real thing—she’s actually never laid eyes upon any of her subjects’ dens in the wild.

“These drawings started as a way for me to explore my own curiosity without causing any harm to the birds I have become increasingly fascinated with,” she says. “My work has made me more aware of the impacts we have on wildlife, even when we are trying our best not to.”

Although her process could be considered methodical—scientific, even—Goodman-Campbell’s work draws from the deep wellspring of her experiential knowledge of the Oregon landscape. “I hope to capture the incredible experience of seeing bird nests in the wild [and] inspire more people to fall in love with nature” she explained.

Of equal importance are the fragility and reverence the nest drawings instill in the viewer.

“I hope my drawings inspire my fellow nature lovers to look closer, pay attention, and be careful where you step! Give birds and other wildlife a lot of space, especially during breeding season,” she advises.

“Bird Nests of Oregon.” Lone Pine Coffee Roasters, March and April. A reception will be held 5 – 9 pm, Friday, April 3.

Nicolas Yopp Retires

After a disappointing crash, he miss this year’s Deaf lympics

BY JP SCHLICK

It was Friday the 13th after all.

Nicolas Yopp was freeriding off Outback Chair at Mt. Bachelor when an unexpected bump threw him just slightly off balance. A skier since as long as he could walk, Yopp is a championship racer and not easily thrown. But he was railing a GS turn at 60 miles per hour at the time.

“I’m not exactly sure what happened after that,” explains a self-described “loopy” Yopp, still groggy from pain medication. “Once I caught an edge that propelled my body to flip and I tumbled down the hill a few times. I must have jammed my boot against the hardpack snow somehow in the process.”

The result: A broken tibia and fibula, and immediate reconstructive surgery, which added even more screws to a plate already there from a previous mountain biking accident. More broadly, it also means that Yopp, a deaf ski racer from Sisters, will not be able to compete at the Deaflympics to be held in Russia at the end of this month.

It was especially disappointing because it is the second time that Yopp will miss the Deaflympics at the height of his prowess.

The Deaflympics has been operating summer games since 1924 and winter events since 1949—the second longest running multiple sporting event, and the first major sporting event for athletes with physical limitations. The winter games include hockey, snowboarding and skiing. Instead of a starting gun, skiers are cued by visual aids.

In 2011, the Deaflympics were slated for Slovakia. Three days prior to the event, though, they were canceled when it was discovered that the Deaflympic officials were embezzling money.

“It was a crushing blow to me and all the athletes who had trained hard and fundraised for the big race,” Yopp explains. He has previously competed in two Deaflympics—in Sweden 2003 and Salt Lake City 2007—but he was hoping that his third international competition would be the charm, and a top finish. “Deaflympics Russia was going to be my redemption,” Yopp explains. “I felt prepared for it and was getting excited.”

He was also planning for the Russia event to be his curtain call from competitive skiing. Twenty-nine years old at the time, Yopp was ready to call it a career following Russia, and now, four years later, even though he won’t have a chance for another Deaflympics competition, he plans to stay the course.

“I have had a long ski race career,” he says. “I still plan on retiring. There are so many other things in life I want to focus on like traveling with my partner and working on building my work career.”

Yopp has been skiing since he was a toddler, and he acknowledges he will always be a skier at heart; he even entertains the idea of racing in the masters class in years to come.

“I have been race skiing since I was a little kid,” states Yopp. “I grew up in Sisters, so Mt. Bachelor is really my

home mountain in many ways.”

He adds, “In general, all the support I’ve received from the deaf community and my friends has been amazing. . . I would like to thank Cara Frank, my girlfriend, for her support. Also, my family and friends. Also, my coach, Greg Timm, who worked with me every week. Some local supporters helped me towards my fundraising goal too.

Bring the Annihilation

Monster X Tour rolls into the County Fairgrounds

BY KELSEY ROOK

I’m the very last person you’d expect to see at a monster truck show. I didn’t learn how to drive a car until I was 22 years old and seeing a fender bender or a tow-truck on the road can throw me into a full-on panic. And, in the two years that I lived in Cottage Grove, I thought the eerie howling noises I heard at night were some kind of spooky recurring wind storm. Turns out, I lived less than a mile from the Cottage Grove Speedway the whole time.

But this weekend, you will find me at the Monster X Tour at Redmond’s Deschutes County Fairgrounds, high on adrenaline and exhaust fumes, watching a bunch of 10,000-plus-pound vehicles of destruction wheelie, race, and freestyle their way into my heart.

Monster X Tour driver Bill Payne, whose Straight Up Racing shop and team have produced trucks with names like “Bone Crusher,” “Bucked Up,” and “California Kid,” is a Washington native who grew up with a love for all things destructive and dangerous.

The 33-year-old has been racing for the last 12 years, and yet still struggles to find words to describe the thrill he experiences behind the wheel of a monster truck.

“The driving part—there’s no description,” said Payne. “You get to ride the roller coaster, but you also get to tell the roller coaster where to go.”

Payne is well known for his wild style on the track; most videos featuring him behind the wheel of his behemoth “Rockstar” show him performing mind-boggling vertical wheel stands and stomach-churning rollovers. Two years ago, his skill in the racing, wheelie, and freestyle categories made him the most winningest driver; lately, though, competition has gotten tougher.

“Two years ago, I was on the top,” said Payne. “Then these young guys started figuring out how to do all my moves. This kid is 18 or 19 years old, he’s only been driving for six months, and he’s kicking my butt! Kids have no fear—they get hurt and they bounce right back.”

According to Payne, young people make up the fastest-growing demographic of monster truck racers and enthusiasts. To parents, he recommends sitting monster

truck-curious kiddos down in front of the computer and gauging their reaction to a video. The screams, howls, and roars of a stadium filled with 1,500-horsepower engines will either exhilarate or terrify most children.

“Kids love to have the wow factor,” said Payne. “They’ve been in cars—they know what riding in their dad’s Ford pickup feels like— but they see that same pickup jumping way up in the air [and] they love it.”

Most of today’s monster trucks are barely trucks at all—the car-crushing Frankensteins are anywhere from 5-6 tons of custom-fabricated devastation. Rockstar’s fiberglass Chevy Colorado truck frame is built over a custom chassis and transmis-

Besides being a world-class driver, Payne is also a skilled mechanic and fabricator. He describes with reverence “that sense of satisfaction you get from having a pile of nothing that becomes a creation that you’re then jumping over cars and school busses 16 or 17 feet in the air.”

But for Payne, one of the biggest rewards in his adrenaline-fueled profession is the reactions his high-flying tricks can elicit from the audience.

Get The Lead Out

Time to remove lead from hunting ammo

BY JIM ANDERSON

DR. JEFF COONEY AND LAB VOLUNTEER JANICE FARNEY TREAT AN ADULT BALD EAGLE FOR LEAD AND PHYSICAL INJURIES. PHOTO BY SUE ANDERSON.

During a recent program at McMenamin’s in Bend, U.S. Geological Survey biologist and researcher Garth Herring presented the work he’s doing on the issue of lead in the tissue of wildlife, specifically big game, ground squirrels and raptors.

Herring pointed out that the USGS research, plus other federal government and state agencies and private conservation identities, is confirming that lead-based ammunition, when used to shoot big game and “varmints,” is contributing to serious health hazards for a number of raptors, principally Swainson’s hawks and eagles.

The research shows that in places like Christmas Valley— that abound in irrigated hay fields—raptors do not spend as much time foraging for prey as they do waiting for shooters to leave the fields so they can pick up the ground squirrel carcasses and take them to their nests to feed their young.

When the carcasses are radiographed (X-rayed) splinters of lead are found throughout the body. Because the electronic equipment does not provide an accurate measurement of how much lead these splinters represent, the carcasses are put into a pot and cooked all day to turn the tissue into a liquid.

Once the remains have reached a thin soup, they are run through a sieve that collects only lead. From this the re-

searchers could obtain accurate data of how much Pb was in the carcass and (could be) transferred to raptors.

At each turn of the lead trail, Herring and his team played devil’s advocate and challenged their own findings, and by doing so forced themselves to be even more accurate as to how much lead was being transferred from ammunition to wildlife.

The reality of what all this research means to raptors that have ingested lead-laced prey is seen daily by wildlife rehabbers. Dr. Jeff Cooney, of High Desert Wildlife and Rehabilitation in Bend, Gary Landers of Wild Wings Raptor Rehab in Sisters, and Lynn Thompkins of Blue Mountain Wildlife in Pendleton, plus veterinarians state-wide, have all treated raptors—especially eagles—for fatal doses of lead ingested via big game gut piles and shot ground squirrels left in hay fields.

At this moment, Dr. Cooney of Bend has two bald eagles in his care. Both were struck by motor vehicles and suffered considerable physical damages, one with both legs broken, and both were found to have minor amounts of lead in their systems.

These findings have left rehabbers with a qualified opinion that any amount of lead, once it begins to act on the movements and physiology of raptors, will affect their abili-

ties to get out of harm’s way.

The battle that went on to ban lead in waterfowl hunting was nothing compared to the howling that’s going on today about banning lead in big game and varmint hunting.

Yet, ammunition manufacturers, such as Barnes Bullets of Mona, Utah, and Nossler in Bend, have already designed and are selling non-lead ammunition. They can see the leadban coming and are in on the ground floor.

Yes, non-lead ammunition is more expensive, probably about 25 percent, but when you look at that cost and compare it to the dollars spent in the purchase of large pickup trucks, campers, camp clothing, packs, food and all the other items hunters buy—ammunition is a small percentage of the total cost to hunt—and the more hunters purchase nonlead ammunition, the cheaper it will be.

Which gets us to the Oregon Outdoor Council (OOC), a National Rifle Association-supported organization. Recently, a spokesman for this organization stated in The Bulletin that banning lead ammunition would hurt the state’s economy. He also stated there was no scientific evidence that lead was/is harmful to raptors.

Chris Stanton, a teacher/hunter from Madras, took exception to the OOC’s statements and sent a letter stating his views to The Bulletin, but the paper didn’t publish it.

This is some of what Stanton sees in banning lead ammunition: “I have hunted for decades and am well aware that the public’s perception of hunters is not always good and is steadily eroding. As a hunter I feel it is important to be ethical in the way we hunt. Times change and as information becomes available practices need to change with them. A case in point is the banning of lead shot for waterfowl hunting. Evidence was overwhelming that lead shot was contributing to huge numbers of waterfowl dying from ingested lead shot. Despite resistance from organizations like the NRA and some sportsman’s groups, a nationwide ban was imposed and steel shot has become the legal choice for waterfowl hunters.”

Stanton then goes on to repute what the NRA and some hunting groups are saying if lead is banned. “Waterfowl hunters have not thrown away their shotguns and stopped hunting as OOC suggests will be the case if all lead ammo is banned in Oregon. Waterfowl hunters continue to pursue their sport and the lead versus steel shot controversy is no longer a consideration. OOC’s statement that the increased cost of non-lead ammunition, if it is even available (and it is), will cause hunters to give up hunting because of the economic impact is ridiculous.”

He continues, “I love to hunt for a variety of reasons including the challenge of fairly stalking game, the comradeship of a few friends or my children around a campfire at night—and most of all—for the chance to obtain the best eating meat available. I also thrill at the sight of a soaring hawk or eagle, I am a scientist and birder. After considering the overwhelming evidence available on the negative impacts of leaded ammunition I am switching to nonleaded ammunition and encourage other outdoorsmen to follow suit, because, it’s the right thing to do.”

Too Old For This

The Gunman: Where BAM! and KA-POW! meet the AARP

BY ERIK HENRIKSEN

The Baby Boomers—previously known as the cohort that inherited a pretty sweet setup from the Greatest Generation, and currently known as the cohort that somehow managed to mess everything up just in time for the Gen Xers and millennials—are getting old. And there are a lot of them. In 1950, Americans over the age of 60 made up 12 percent of the population; by 2020, that will have nearly doubled, to 22 percent.

Which makes all these Taken and Expendables movies make sense. As their audiences have gotten older, Hollywood’s action heroes—once a job for youngsters who could move faster than anyone else—have aged up. The star of all three Taken movies, Liam Neeson, is 62. As for those Expendables: Sylvester Stallone is 68. Arnold Schwarzenegger is 67. Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson are 59. Harrison Ford is 72. Even the best and most vibrant of our current action series—I speak, of course, as always, of The Fast and the Furious films—might feature some cars drifting into handicapped spots when its seventh film opens next month. Vin Diesel and Jason Statham are 47. Kurt Russell’s 64. Dwayne Johnson, the spring chicken brought on board with Fast Five to inject some life into the series, is 42. Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr., the linchpin of this May’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, is 49.

All of this helps explain why The Gunman exists. Plotwise, it’s exactly what you’d expect a movie called The Gunman to be about: A noble man is hunted down, forced to fight back using only his very violent, very particular set of skills.

In this case, said noble man is Jim Terrier (Sean Penn, 54), a former mercenary who, tortured by past misdeeds, spends his time making sure the people of the Congo have fresh drinking water. Naturally, it’s only a matter of time until Terrier’s past comes back to haunt murder him. If only Terrier had some kind of way to fight back. If only Terrier was some kind of… gunman.

Directed by Taken’s Pierre Morel, The Gunman lurches along, hitting big dumb action beats and cramming in bit parts for a bunch of great character actors, from Idris Elba and Javier Bardem to Ray Winstone and Mark Rylance. But in between all the head-shootings and neck-stabbings and eye-gougings and out-of-the-blue face-punchings, there’s

something more interesting: Unlike almost every other action hero, Terrier really does seem too old for this shit. Like most retirees, he just wants to enjoy his hobbies, maybe travel once in a while, and sleep with a girlfriend 20 years his junior (Jasmine Trinca). But in dispatching an army of bad guys, grumpy old Terrier learns his lifetime of hard living has wrecked his body. Suffering from an illness as a result of his mercenary work (“Oh no, you’ve shot too many guns,” his doctor basically tells him, “you’ve got plaque in your brain”), Terrier’s a shell of his former self. Each time he fires a gun, it makes his condition worse, so in the middle of action scenes, he’ll get dizzy, or space out, or, like most retirees, just need a quick nap. Penn’s otherwise charmless performance offers, at least, a sense of dismay at all of this—a sense of betrayal as his body and mind start to fail him.

That—turning an action movie into an aging movie—

Far From A Paint-By-Number Mr. Turner is Mike Leigh’s best film yet

BY PHIL BUSSE

Commonly, Mike Leigh’s films have emphasized interpersonal tensions between characters, like in his breakout Secrets & Lies about a black woman tracking down her working class white birth mother, or Happy Go Lucky about a London school teacher’s whose eternal optimism goes against the grumpy grain. But, in Mr. Turner, his latest and perhaps greatest film, Leigh tells a story about more abstract themes of artistic and historic tensions.

J.M.W. Turner, the namesake of Mr. Turner, certainly had some interpersonal tensions, an eccentric in early-to-mid-19th century painter who was out of sorts with the well-to-do art patrons in London and a solitary man who carried on a tacit affair for decades. But the film’s true joy comes from the exploration of the painter’s artistic tensions: Arriving at first as a Romantic landscape artist that selected common motifs like ships on storm-lashed seas, although certainly executing them with more drama than the rest, Turner soon pushed his paintings into more uncharted territory—and, many art historians now acknowledge, as a forefather to the Impressionism Era with his vivant, glowing colors and to the Abstract painters with his increasingly non-literal paintings.

Timothy Spall, who started his career with the Royal Shakespeare Company before drifting to more quirky roles, like appearances in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, plays the role of the title character to perfection, with a certain smug aloofness yet counterbalanced by the earnest desire for recognition.

So highly recommended.

could have made for something pretty great. But The Gunman has too many of those big dumb action beats to hit; this is the kind of movie that, between brief spurts of moralizing about conditions in the Congo, features BMW getaways, a travel itinerary more exotic than 007’s, and lines like, “He’s gone—there’s nothing you can do for him.” (Penn helpfully grumbles that one after a character’s brains have been exploded directly into the camera.) Somewhere in The Gunman, there’s a movie about what it’s like to get old and still want to kick some ass. But to either their credit or discredit, everyone involved has done a pretty good job hiding it.

International Fly Fishing Film Festival Now, do not mistake the International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4) for the 2015 Fly Fishing Film Tour that played at the Tower Theatre last month. The massive Central Oregon fly fishing community should be overjoyed that two separate film festivals have both come to the Tower over that last month, sharing feature length and short films, all about their favorite pastime.

The IF4 will have films like Liquid Gold (about Golden Trout), Bermuda Love Triangle (the triangle between Miami, Bermuda and the Dominican Republic), Distracted (fishing for Cutthroat Trout), and Secrets (hidden fishing spots). The success of the two film festivals is only testimony to the expanding popularity of the sport—and, a reminder what a remarkable spot that boasts both still water lakes, and cold rushing rivers.

CHAPPIE While Chappie definitely looks like Short Circuit for the 21st century, because South African director Neill Blomkamp’s name is on it, we’re also likely to get some social commentary spritzed throughout bursts of ultra-violence. A police droid is stolen by revolutionaries (played in part by the members of Die Antwoord) and reprogramed to feel human emotion. Naturally, the government fears and hates Chappie, and sets about to destroy the robot and everything it stands for. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX CINDERELLA A live-action retelling of the Disney classic directed by Shakespearean master Kenneth Branagh. Disney will be able to print money pretty soon once the next STAR WARS movie comes out, so this version of Cinderella must exist just to remind people about the cartoon. Either way, this seems pointless and get the hell off my lawn. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Pine Theater, Redmond Theatre, Sisters Movie House

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Even if you try to give Divergent (and its sequels) the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t just Hunger Games rip-offs, by the time you reach the end of the first book your optimism will be shredded.

While Shailene Woodley is a fine actress, the Teen Post-Apocalyptic genre hits the wall pretty hard here and flails every which way with its pat ideas about freedom, individuality and painfully generic love. In this installment the factions start going to war and Kate Winslet cashes extra paychecks. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre

THE DUFF DUFF stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend and is about a young woman who finds out she’s the DUFF of her group and decides to try and upend her place in the social pecking order.

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY The timeless saga of Christian Grey, the billionaire industrialist who likes a bit of BDSM with his orange juice and Anastasia Steele, the working class girl who’s never had an orgasm. Just like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy or Heathcliff and Catherine, their incredible exploration of love crosses boundaries like mild torture, tons of pocket condoms and no scat play, whatsoever. Making libraries a little dirtier since 2011. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX FOCUS Will Smith and Margot Robbie as con artists getting ready to take down some marks sounds pretty delightful. Even though Smith’s movie star power has somewhat dimmed over the last few years, people forget that when he’s given a strong role, he tends to knock it out of the park. Not saying that this movie has that going for it, but Margot Robbie is damned delightful also, and if she and Will Smith had a baby, it would be too beautiful to look at. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX FOXCATCHER One of the most talked about films of the year stars Channing Tatum as an Olympic gold-winning wrestler who joins multi-millionaire John du Pont’s Team Foxcatcher in order to train for the 1988 South Korean Olympics. With Oscar nominations falling out of its foxcatcher, )plus we know how much the academy loves performances built around fake noses), expect this one to do well come Oscar time. Tin Pan Theater THE GUNMAN Sean Penn, Idris Elba, Javier Bardem and Ray Winstone in an action movie by the director of Taken sounds like a delight. Penn plays a sniper who kills a minister of the mines in the Congo. When he returns years later, he becomes the target of a hit squad and must use his very special set of skills. Expect brainless action with lots of slow motion in the rain and you should be well prepared for this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 &

JUPITER ASCENDING From the creators of The Matrix Trilogy and the criminally underrated masterpiece Cloud Atlas. Jupiter Ascending is either poised to be this year’s sleeper sci-fi hit or a flop the size of Johnny Depp’s Mortdecai mustache.

Mila Kunis plays Jupiter Jones, an unlucky Earth janitor who is actually space royalty and must be protected by Channing Tatum’s half albino, half wolf warrior Caine Wise. If this film is half as good as The Fifth Element, it will be much better than most sci-fi action releases of the last few years. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The new film from the madcap bastard behind Layer Cake, Stardust and X-Men: First Class, Matthew Vaughn.

Kingsman has Colin Firth using a bulletproof umbrella and beating a bunch of ass while never breaking a sweat. It also has Samuel L.

It will be gloriously, batshit insane. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LAZARUS EFFECT A group of medical students figure out a way to bring the dead back to life, but when the dead are reanimated, they’re bringing some nasty stuff back with them. I saw this movie before when it was called Flatliners and had Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Platt, Kevin Bacon and one of the damned Baldwins in it. That movie was awesome. This one won’t be because it didn’t even have the common courtesy to call this one Flatliners 2: The Flattening. Old Mill

MCFARLAND, USA It’s a Kevin Costner sports movie. That should either be enough to put your butt in a seat or to avoid it altogether.

If it’s half as good as Remember the Titans then I won’t be complaining. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre, Sisters Movie House

RUN ALL NIGHT Liam Neeson plays The Gravedigger, an aging mob hitman who has to go to war with his old boss/best friend in order to protect his son and family. Since the film boils down to Liam Neeson Vs. Ed Harris, it seems guaranteed to entertain with those two badasses squaring off against each other. Hopefully, this will be more in line with The Grey as opposed to Taken 3, because that movie was steamed garbage. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre

THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL Leisurely strolling into theaters three years after the sleeper hit made 1000% profit comes a sequel no one really asked for, but will probably embrace all the same.

Will Judi Dench and Maggie Smith fight with chains and teeth? Please make it so. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

STILL ALICE Julianne Moore won an Oscar for her portrayal of Alice Howland, a linguistics professor who starts forgetting words due to early-onset Alzheimers. Oscar voters love an actor taking on a debilitating disease and Moore has been snubbed a few times in the past, so the stars aligned this year to give her the golden dude. Sisters Movie House UNFINISHED BUSINESS Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson and Dave Franco travel to Europe to close a business deal and everything goes horribly wrong.

Your Terrible Family

BY W.M STEVEN HUMPHREY

Are you currently absolutely furious with your drunk sibling who has only two objectives in life (getting even drunker and cramming her hand down your boyfriend’s pants)? Is your mom so passive-aggressive that she posts public apologies for your behavior on her Facebook page? Does your dad shower you with gifts, love, and affection— after walking out on your family when you were six, and only now showing up on your doorstep with his 23-year-old girlfriend, who’s too busy taking selfies to say hello?

Well turn that frown upside down, Grumpy Gus! Because this week on TV, there are three shows featuring families waaaay more terrible than yours! Such as…

• Empire (Fox, Wed., March 18, 8 pm). I’ll admit I was slow to pick up on this drama about an African-American family running a record label, because frankly, the idea sounded sah-noooozy. BUT I WAS OH-SOWRONG. “Empire” is amazingly and hilariously over the top—kind of like a black “Dynasty,” or even better, a black “King Lear.”

Patriarch Lucious Lyon (Terrrence Howard) is the CEO of Empire Entertainment, a wildly successful hiphop label. However, things poop the bed after he’s diagnosed with an incapacitating disease, forcing him to decide which of his three sons will inherit his kingdom. Will it be the inexperienced young buck, the shy, gay middle son, or the highly educated but EXTREMELY MENTALLY ILL oldest sibling? (Pro tip: Pick none of the above!)

Piling on more drama is his evil arch-nemesis (played by Judd Nelson [!!]), and my early vote for the winner of 2015’s Emmy for best actress, Taraji P. Henson as his exwife Cookie. (She was sent to prison on a drug-running charge that originally funded Empire, and now she’s back for a piece of that delicious pie—and GURL? She is NOT

If you love crazy soap operas, satirical jabs at the hiphop industry, and people angrily sweeping everything off the top of their desks (my favorite pastime), catch all the previous episodes on Hulu, Amazon Prime, or iTunes, and don’t miss this week’s hilariously entertaining SEASON FINALE of “Empire!”

• Bloodline (Netflix, complete season debuting Fri., March 20). Sam Shepard and Sissy Spacek are the owners of a beloved Florida Keys hotel, and parents of the perfect family…wellllll, perfect except for everyone harboring a dark secret, the family’s black sheep threatening to expose them all, and a dead body currently in the trunk of the car. Other than that? Just like your family! (Yeah, not so perfect.)

• Neighbors with Benefits (A&E, Sun., March 22, 10 pm). First things first: “Swinging” is a great American institution, and I have nothing against it. However, it would behoove you to watch the new swingers reality show “Neighbors with Benefits” with a large grain of salt. Supposedly based in a Cincinnati subdivision, which just happens to house a bunch of wife-and-hubbyswapping families, the various couples get together, seduce each other, have sex, argue about the way they have sex, and then start the whole process over again. Meanwhile their poor children are screaming, “MOM!! DAD!! You’re EMBARRASSING MEEEEEEEEE!”

Do what makes you smile!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re entering a

time and space known as the Adlib Zone. In this territory, fertile chaos and inspirational uncertainty are freely available. Improvised formulas will generate stronger mojo than timeworn maxims. Creativity is de rigueur, and street smarts count for more than book-learning. May I offer some mottoes to live by when “common sense” is inadequate? 1. Don’t be a slave to necessity. 2. Be as slippery as you can be and still maintain your integrity. 3. Don’t just question authority; be thrilled about every chance you get to also question habit, tradition, fashion, trendiness, apathy, and dogma.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): By 1993, rock

band Guns N’ Roses had released five successful albums. But on the way to record their next masterpiece, there were numerous delays and diversions. Band members feuded. Some were fired and others departed. Eventually, only one original member remained to bring the task to conclusion with the help of new musicians.

The sixth album, Chinese Democracy, finally emerged in 2008. I’m seeing a similarity between Guns N’ Roses’ process and one of your ongoing projects, Taurus. The good news is that I think most of the hassles and delays are behind you, or will be if you act now. You’re primed to make a big push toward the finish line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The anonymous blogger at Neurolove.me gives advice on how to love a Gemini: “Don’t get impatient with their distractibility.

Always make time for great conversation.

Be understanding when they’re moody.

Help them move past their insecurities, and tell them it’s not their job to please everyone. Let them have space but never let them be lonely.”

I endorse all that good counsel, and add this: “To love Geminis, listen to them attentively, and with expansive flexibility. Don’t try to force them to be consistent; encourage them to experiment at uniting their sometimes conflicting urges. As best as you can, express appreciation not just for the parts of them that are easy to love but also for the parts that are not yet ripe or charming.”

Now feel free, Gemini, to show this horoscope to those whose affection you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have recently been to the mountaintop, at least metaphorically. Right? You wandered out to the high frontier and ruminated on the state of your fate from the most expansive vista you could find.

Right? You have questioned the limitations you had previously accepted, and you have weaned yourself from at least one of your devitalizing comforts, and you have explored certain possibilities that had been taboo. Right? So what comes next? Here’s what I suggest: Start building a new framework or structure or system that will incorporate all that you’ve learned during your break.

ternational code of food standards, there are 13 possible sizes for an olive. They include large, extra large, jumbo, extra jumbo, giant, colossal, super colossal, mammoth, and super mammoth. If I had my way, Leo, you would apply this mind-set to everything you do in the coming weeks. It’s time for you to think very big. You will thrive as you expand your mind, stretch your boundaries, increase your territory, amplify your self-expression, magnify your focus, and broaden your innocence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Half the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough,” proclaimed humorist Josh Billings. That’s an exaggeration made for comic effect, of course. (And I think that some of life’s troubles also come from saying no too much and not saying yes enough.)

But for you, Virgo, Billings’ advice will be especially pertinent in the coming weeks. In fact, my hypothesis is that you will be able to keep your troubles to a minimum and boost your progress to a maximum by being frugal with yes and ample with no.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your mind says, “I

need more room to move. I’ve got to feel free to experiment.” Your heart says, “I think maybe I need more commitment and certainty.” Your

astrologer suggests, “Be a bit more skeptical about the dream lover who seems to be interfering with your efforts to bond with the Real Thing.” I’m not sure which of these three sources you should heed, Libra. Do you think it might somehow be possible to honor them all? I invite you to try.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Without your

wound where would your power be?” asked writer Thornton Wilder. “The very angels themselves cannot persuade the wretched and blundering children on earth as can one human being broken on the wheels of living.” Let’s make that one of your ongoing meditations, Scorpio. I think the coming weeks will be an excellent time to come to a greater appreciation for your past losses. What capacities has your suffering given birth to? What failures have made you stronger? What crucial lessons and unexpected benefits have emerged from your sadness and madness?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Creating is not magic but work,” says Kevin Ashton, author of the book How to Fly a Horse: The Secret History of Creation, Invention, and Discovery.

In other words, inspiration is a relatively small part of the creative process. Over the long haul, the more important factors are self-discipline, organized thinking, hard work, and attention to detail. And yet inspiration isn’t irrelevant, either. Brainstorms and periodic leaps of insight can be highly useful.

That’s a good reminder as you enter a phase when you’re likely to be more imaginative and original than usual. I expect creative excitement to be a regular visitor.

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

detective Sherlock Holmes was a good Capricorn, born January 6, 1854. In the course of Arthur Conan Doyle’s 60 stories about his life, he revealed his exceptional talent as an analytical thinker. His attention to details was essential to his success, and so was his expertise at gathering information. He did have a problem with addictive drugs, however. Morphine tempted him now and then, and cocaine more often, usually when he wasn’t feeling sufficiently challenged. Let this serve as a gentle warning, Capricorn. In the coming weeks, seek more relaxation and downtime than usual. Focus on recharging your psychic batteries. But please be sure that doesn’t cause you to get bored and then dabble with self-sabotaging stimuli.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): English is my first language. Years ago there was a time when I spoke a lot of French with my Parisian girlfriend, but my skill faded after we broke up. So I’m not bilingual in the usual sense. But I do have some mastery in the language of music, thanks to my career as a singer-songwriter.

Having raised a daughter, I also learned to converse in the language of children. And I’ve remembered and worked with my nightly dreams every day for decades, so I speak the language of dreams. What about you, Aquarius? In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll be challenged to make more extensive use of one of your second languages. It’s time to be adaptable and resourceful in your approach to communication.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you need a

reason to think sharper and work smarter and try harder? I’ll give you four reasons. 1. Because you’re finally ready to get healing for the inner saboteur who in the past has undermined your confidence. 2. Because you’re finally ready to see the objective truth about one of your selfdoubts, which is that it’s a delusion. 3. Because you’re finally ready to stop blaming an adversary for a certain obstacle you face, which means the obstacle will become easier to overcome. 4. Because you’re finally ready to understand that in order to nurture and hone your ample creativity, you have to use it to improve your life on a regular basis.

NEWS QUIRKS CURSES, FOILED AGAIN

Rocco Tumbarello, 41, stole stuff from a home in West Boynton, FL, authorities there said, but he didn’t get far. He lives across the street. The victim came home to find had his 42-inch TV and his mother’s laptop gone, the sheriff’s report said, and spotted his neighbor “running across the street with his television in his hands.” (South Florida Sun Sentinel) The civil marriage of Zubair Khan, 48, and Beata Szilagyi, 33, was exposed as a ruse to skirt British immigration laws when Khan couldn’t remember Szilagyi’s name. He delayed the ceremony to call his marriage broker for the name. The suspicious registrar called authorities, who arrested bride and groom for what Home Office immigration official Andy Sharpe called “a farcical, but nonetheless serious attempt.” (New York Daily News)

NOTHING TO FEAR HERE

The month after an inebriated government employee crashed a small drone on the White House lawn, the Secret Service announced plans to test its own “unmanned aircraft systems” to help protect the White House from drone attacks and other incursions. “I don’t think we’re talking about a battle of drones in the skies,” Michael Drobac, executive director of the pro-drone Small UAV Coalition, said. “This isn’t ‘Battlestar Galactica’ gone drone. I think this is simply an ability to monitor.

I’m confident they’re not intending to use weaponized drones.” (The Washington Times)

IT HAPPENS

U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted job opportunities for doctors to help monitor suspected smugglers’ bowel movements at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Applicants must be available around the clock to use X-rays to examine body cavities of suspected “swallowers.” If drugs or other contraband materials are detected, “the detainee may be held for a monitored bowel movement (MBM) to wait the passage of the contraband,” according to the CBP, which uses a high-tech toilet to recover the material from the waste passed by the suspected smuggler. (The Washington Times) Human waste left by climbers on Mount Everest is causing pollution and threatening to spread disease, according to the head of Nepal’s mountaineering association. Ang Tshering told reporters more than 700 foreign climbers and guides spend two months climbing the world’s tallest peak during the brief climbing season, leaving feces and urine at four camps where they stay to acclimate themselves to the altitude. “Climbers usually dig holes in the snow for their toilet use and leave the human waste there,” Tshering said, adding the waste has been “piling up” for years.

HOT POCKETS

Erik Johnson spent 10 days in a hospital burn unit in Lindenhurst, NY, recovering from second- and third-degree burns after his iPhone exploded in his pocket. “I bent over to get keys, and all I heard was a ‘pop’ and after a little ‘ssshh,’ smoke coming out and just like an instant burn,” Johnson said. “My leg just starts going on fire, try to get it out, can’t get it out. I was literally jumping up and down to get the phone out of my pocket, but I had dress pants on. I think the phone melted my pockets shut so I couldn’t get into it, and I had to rip my pants off. A couple of people actually said they could smell my body burning.” Apple said it is looking into the case. (CNN)

FAMILIARITY BREEDS ATTEMPT

Christopher Miller, 41, served 15 years in prison for robbing three businesses, including a Stride Rite shoe store in Toms River, NJ The day after he was paroled, he returned to the same Stride Rite store and robbed the same clerk, who had been notified of Miller’s release. Miller pleaded guilty and faces 10 to 20 years in prison. (NJ.com)

PHARMACEUTICAL FOLLIES

Mary McKaig, 54, asked a Florida court to void her online bid of $100,500 for a foreclosed home because she was under the influence of “judgment-altering” prescription diet pills. After her bid was accepted, McKaig discovered the property has more than $400,000 of debt. “The diet pill seems like a convenient excuse for not doing their research before bidding,” said Lloyd McClendon, CEO of RealAuction.com, which handled the transaction. (ABC News) Drug companies boost sales with promotional campaigns to create awareness of medical conditions that their drugs treat. A recent example is Vyvanse, which the Food and Drug Administration approved to treat binge eating, even though it previously forbade its maker, Shire, from promoting Vyvanse as an obesity drug because of its amphetamine content. Immediately following approval, Shire donated $100,000 to the nonprofit Binge Eating Disorder Association and paid retired tennis player Monica Seles to appear on television talk shows to share how she once secretly devoured food. The American Psychiatric Association officially recognized binge-eating disorder in 2013, opening up the new market for Vyvanse. “Once a pharmaceutical company gets permission to advertise for it, it can become quite widely prescribed, and even tend to be overpriced,” said Dr. B. Timothy Walsh, professor of psychiatry at the New York State Psychiatric Institute at Columbia University. (The New York Times)

Pfizer’s anti-smoking drug Chantix, which carries the FDA’s strongest warning label, following reports of suicidal tendencies and violent or bizarre behavior among patients, now will add an FDA warning that the drug can intensify the effects of drinking alcohol, sometimes leading to aggressive behavior or amnesia. The new warning follows Pfizer’s proposal that the FDA remove the old warning based on the company’s findings suggesting the drug doesn’t increase those problems. (CBS News and Associated Press)

NUT-JOB UPDATE

Cho Hyn-ah, the former Korean Air vice president who ordered a plane back to its gate after a first-class flight attendant served her macadamia nuts in an unopened package instead of on a plate, received a year in prison for violating aviation safety law. Park Chang-jin, the steward who was removed from the plane, said Cho, one of South Korea’s wealthiest women, forced him and the junior attendant to apologize on their knees, “like slaves in a medieval era.” (The New York Times)

REPLY-ALL FALLOUT

After Ameren Missouri asked regulators for a 10 percent rate hike so it could collect an additional $264 million a year, the St. Louis-based utility “inadvertently” sent an e-mail intended only for Public Service Commission staff members to all parties involved in the negotiations—including consumer and business representatives—saying it was willing to lower its rate request to more than $100 million below its original proposal.

THE ADVICE GODDESS

The Sociopath Of Least Resistance My girlfriend has been hurt, cheated on, and even ripped off in past relationships, and I’m paying the price.

If I don’t text back immediately, she is convinced I’m AMY ALKON dumping her and flips out. If I’m busy, she thinks I’m with another girl or abandoning her. When I do something sweet, she thinks I’m trying to play her. All I want is to have a nice relationship with her. Am I fighting a losing battle, or can a little good from a caring, ethical guy allow a woman to let go of a lot of bad?

—Optimist A woman like your girlfriend, with a history of dating shady guys, can find the most inconsequential things suspicious, down to the way you drip creamer into your coffee—surely Morse code telling that pretty woman across the cafe that you want to have sex with her.

You: “Uh…you mean the woman canoodling with her girlfriend in the ‘Keep Calm and Kiss Lesbians’ T-shirt?”

There are a few world-class deceivers out there, and it can be hard to see who they really are until you’re looking at a small pile of cracker crumbs where the money in your bank account used to be. But, typically, a woman who’s frequently chumped by bad guys is not just their victim; she’s her own. Repeat suckerization often comes out of low self-worth. But it almost always comes out of refusing to do the necessary homework—observing a potential partner’s behavior over time and seeing whether it matches up with the person they claim to be. Your girlfriend appears to favor a popular shortcut—cannonballing into a relationship and hoping things turn out okay. Until…whoops! He was just helping her best friend fix her sheets, and then the most amazing thing happened—all of his clothes fell off.

Considering that your girlfriend probably feels cruelly abandoned whenever you stop talking long enough to sneeze, lead with the reassurance that you love her and want to be with her. Then tell her it hurts your feelings that she doesn’t give you credit for who you’ve shown yourself to be—a loving boyfriend who’s given her no reason to believe he’d ever run some scam on her. Explain that for your relationship to make it, you need to see her working

on her issues—in a therapist’s office and/or with a great reason-based self-help book, Dr. Albert Ellis’ A Guide to Rational Living (because her flip-outs are ultimately caused by her failing to apply reason).

Gently point out that just because she has a feeling—like jealousy or anxiety—she doesn’t have to act on it. Sure, in the moment, it’s easy to go straight to crazytown. Avoiding that takes preplanning. She needs to resolve to instead pull out the evidence—the spreadsheets of your prior behavior—and assess the likelihood that what you’re “picking up at the store” is actually just milk and not a 5’10” blonde. Give yourself a deadline to see some progress.

Not necessarily miraculous change but some indication that she’s trying—and that you might someday be greeted with a kiss and a “How was your day?” instead of a gavel and a “How do you plead?”

Dear In The Headlights When I talked on the phone to a woman I met on a dating site, I told her I really like hiking, and she said she did, too, so I made our first date a hike. It was a really easy hike, but she complained the whole time, wore the wrong shoes, and lagged behind.

She finally admitted that she never hikes. It isn’t the first time this has happened.

Why do women say they like hiking when they hate it and never do it?

—Just Be Honest Okay, so this woman’s idea of an invigorating nature trek is cutting across a grassy median to get to a shoe sale. Hiking is so easy to like in the abstract, on the phone—especially when you like hiking and the woman wants you to like her. She may even picture herself hiking— up a fake rock in Chanel shorts at a Vogue photo shoot—and believe that she could be into it.

And then, when she feels a twinge of guilt for telling a fibby, she probably tells herself that once you fall for her, you’ll realize it’s a small price to pay that her feet don’t take kindly to parting company with pavement. The bottom line for you? Assume that anyone you meet— especially on the Internet—is lying about absolutely everything until proven otherwise.

(Yeah, of course she enjoys seeing birds in formation—in valu-paks at the grocery store.) (c)2015, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. Got a problem? Write Amy Alkon, 171 Pier Ave, #280, Santa Monica, CA 90405, or e-mail AdviceAmy@aol.com (advicegoddess.com).
