Several years ago, an editorial [in Bend] stated that growth was good because there would be more people to pay for needed services. This was in contrast to several studies that emphasized that growth does not pay for itself. It is subsidized by tax payers.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

Our roads are a classic example. The city council could not find a way to maintain roads without submitting a gas tax to the voters.

Also, the school board says it must sell Troy Field because it needs the money for rapidly growing schools.

The people responsible for promoting this growth are rewarded for their efforts, usually with public recognition and wealth. The recognition should be switched to individuals who are able to determine a way to maintain a healthy economy without promoting population growth. ~Mike Miller

IN RESPONSE TO “A RIVER USED TO RUN THROUGH IT,” (2/4) There is more water running down the Deschutes than ever before, thanks to the efforts of the irrigation districts. Like you, they would like to see the day when not a drop of water is wasted.

Their investments in lining canals and piping for three sustainable hydro plants have resulted in increased flows during the off season and a revenue stream to fund fish restoration projects here on the Deschutes River.

The Instream Water Rights Act and Oregon’s State Scenic Waterways law, as well as the new groundwater mitigation fees are all part of the framework of existing water law that the districts operate within to improve flow levels.

Planning has been underway for years to address wildlife issues related to irrigation. Water Watch has become an unreliable partner at the planning table to resort to a lawsuit at this time.

One of the major factors in frog health on the Deschutes is that the frogs do not live in the river. They live in ponds, backwaters and

sloughs that are abundant along the Deschutes and Little Deschutes. A quick Google survey found 41 backwaters on the river between Bend and Wickiup Reservoir. The Little Deschutes between Sunriver and Gilchrist had about 37. By contrast, many valley rivers have had their backwaters filled for farming decades ago.

These backwaters are filled by high flows during the irrigation season and provide a stable water level for the frogs during their reproductive season. My reading of this suggests that frogs benefit from dam operations and stable water levels during a critical time.

While most of these wetlands have remained intact on the Deschutes, that’s not to say the local frogs are not facing problems. Jay Bowerman has fought a long battle to save frogs attempting to cross the roads as they emerge from the sloughs around Sunriver. The introduction of Bass to Crane Prairie is a serious obstacle to colonizing the wetlands there, but there have also been improvements.

The irony of water rights on the Deschutes is that the most productive cropland around Madras has the most junior water rights. The most senior are just north of Bend. So the folks who produce the most are the first in line to get cut. Those who use it mostly for horse hay will be assured of a steady supply. Frogs are not the only problem with water law. The irrigators agree on that one. ~Tim Breeden

IN RESPONSE TO “WATER RIGHTS,” (2/18) Yes, there is a higher diversion rate after the power plants were built. Specifically, the southern COID diversion diverts water for power through their intake pipe, but then returns it to the river 6000 feet downstream.

Not a bad deal to power 2500 homes. Yes,

COID and North Unit diverted a lot of water for a couple winters. That was to relieve flooding threats along the Deschutes in Tumalo, saving millions in potential flood damage.

This article exposes the lie behind this lawsuit.

It is not about the frogs. It is for other interests and no amount of articles is going to hide the influence of the sport fishing industries on this issue. They need a lot of big fish to kill and have the river managed to keep it full of their customers. They don’t mind destroying the agricultural base for three counties.

Piping canals is the best way to reduce losses and put more water back in the river. Obviously, real estate values trump any conservation proposals. SOS for the real estate industry around here.

burden on the farmers who use the water.

The assertion that there is a profit motive to run the hydro stations is wrong. These are regulated districts with limits on revenue. There are, however, millions of dollars needed for efficiency improvements and fish projects.

These hydro stations are the revenue key to the success of these projects. The fly fishing industry here pales in comparison to the size of the farming economy created by the irrigators. ~Tim Breeden

LETTER OF THE WEEK Tim – Thank you for responding to all

So after two articles, I’m still waiting for any frog facts that are produced by competent researchers. Is there any real science on what is happening on the Deschutes?

The primitive river he waxes so eloquently on also killed half the population of early Bend.

The fishing went downhill pretty quickly with the 40 fish daily limit.

The minimum stream flow that was established was the first minimum for any river in Oregon.

As to irrigator waste, that is the whole point of the hydro stations. There is finally a revenue stream to improve irrigation efficiency and fund fish restoration projects without undue

We are a community obsessed with growth.

The tech sector, beer and marijuana industries, colleges, real estate interests and, of course, tourism, all work to attract growth to the area.

The result is over-burdened infrastructure, traffic congestion, increasingly crowded recreation areas, declining deer populations due to housing construction in their winter habitat and high cost of living, especially housing.

Who monitors these impacts and recommends slowing the growth? No one.

regon is an inspiration. Whether you come to it, or are born to it, you become entranced by our state’s beauty, the opportunity she affords, and the independent spirit of her citizens,” said Gov. Tom McCall in 1973.

McCall, who graduated from Redmond High School, held office from 1967-75, during the early years of outdoor school education in Oregon. In Central Oregon, outdoor school education began in the 1950s.

For many who grew up in Oregon, or who raised children here, outdoor school has been a right of passage for the last 50 years. Rain or shine, as 11 and 12-year-olds, we spent a week away from home with trees, streams and the elements. (Back in the day, we even built little coffee can cook stoves, but that was then, and this is now.) Today, outdoor school continues to provide firsthand earth science lessons about plants, water, fire, and zero waste, in addition to the very memorable camp experience. However, in Central Oregon and elsewhere, the traditional week has been reduced to three days and two nights in recent years.

“If ever the world needed outdoor school, it is now,” said Warren Gilfillan, a past Outdoor Education Director in Oregon from 1966-83. “We’re headed down the road to destruction if we can’t get together and educate ourselves,” he told an "Oregon Field Guide" reporter in 2012.

In Central Oregon, Becca Gilbert is working to gather signatures for Outdoor School for All, Initiative Petition 67. A total of 100,000 signatures are

necessary by the end of June in order to get the issue on the November ballot for Oregon voters. IP 67 would create an Outdoor School Education Fund to ensure a weeklong outdoor school continues for students in every part of Oregon. Gilbert is the Central and Eastern Oregon coordinator leading volunteers. She reports the ballot initiative has 10,000 signatures (and counting), with 8,000 of those coming from Central Oregon. More volunteers are needed, she says.

IP 67 proposes funding for outdoor school from the Oregon lottery. “This initiative allocates $22 million from the remainder of the Oregon Lottery which is largely used by the state legislature for various economic development projects,” says Caroline Fitchett, state director of Outdoor School for All. With this plan in place, over the next decade, the program would serve half a million students, provide 30,000 internships, and generate $270 million in economic impact for Oregon’s local and mostly rural economies, according to a report commissioned by the Gray Family Foundation.

No taxes will be levied or raised to support outdoor school education, and the ballot measure won’t take any funds from education (57 percent of the lottery fund allocations) or parks or watersheds (together, 15 percent). A maximum of $22 million annually would be set aside for a week of outdoor school education for students throughout Oregon. Let’s sign the petition, help get kids outside and protect our Oregon outdoor school tradition. SW

Earth Month is Coming

The Environmental Center join forces with COCC’s Sustainability Committee

Farm Subsidies Affect Land Value

C

rop insurance subsidies help mega-farmers to outbid smaller farmers on farmland, according to the Center for Rural Affairs. On Wednesday, the non-profit released a new report exploring the impact that subsidized crop insurance places on land values.

In a few weeks, Earth Day will be here, on Friday, April 22. That day and weekend, volunteers in Oregon will clean the beaches, bays, rivers and forests, plant trees and pull invasive weeds.

Prior to that, “SUSTAIN” launches next Wednesday at COCC’s Bend Campus, with a keynote lecture by OSU-Cascades geologist Daniele McKay on March 30. McKay will address the long-range view of climate change in her lecture, “A Geologic Perspective on Climate Change.” From there, the following weeks will each have a new environmental theme, with tours, films, lectures and workshops for people to learn more. All events are open to the public and the full schedule can be found online via The Environmental Center’s homepage: envirocenter.org.

According to Sustainability Committee chairman, Owen Murphy, the goal is to educated and engage Central Oregon with regard to sustainability. He says sustainability is a big, broad and scary word to some people, but it is simply a way to refer to a holistic concept, encompassing environmental, economic and social factors. The Sustainability Committee was founded as a cross-discipline, multi-department volunteer effort. Murphy, professor of Health and Human Performance, leads the campus effort to embrace sustainable practices at COCC, and integrate sustainability in a cost-effective way, making operations simpler rather than more complex.

“In some people’s minds, it is not enough to sustain,” says Murphy. “We would prefer to thrive, but we have to start somewhere.” He will be doing a pre/post talk before and after the film, “Inhabit,” on Wednesday, April 6, from 6-8 p.m. at the Culinary Center. This documentary looks for answers to issues that are related to agriculture, economics and government.

The Environmental Center, co-sponsor of "SUSTAIN Central Oregon," is a non-profit organization geared toward education and advocacy, supporting

sustainability initiatives of local governments and businesses. Its mission is to promote local action for a healthy future. The organization advises on a range of ways to save energy and reduce waste from beginner level to more advanced.

For example, “Cold Wash Wednesdays,” buying green energy, and even hosting zero waste events are all explained on its website.

Zero waste is a new goal of several U.S. cities including San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Seattle. On the COCC campus, Murphy says, “We’re gradually making steps toward a sustainable campus and culture.” Waste management is the subject of “Rethink Waste,” the last lecture of the series on April 28, which will be held on the COCC Redmond Campus in the Technology Education Center.

Most events in the series are free of charge except the film, “Bikes versus Cars,” at Old St. Francis on April 21, which will cost $5 (cash only). Of the admission cost, $3 will go to the Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA).

Each week of the Earth month series explores a new theme, beginning with food and agriculture, then energy and alternative transportation, followed by water and closing with consumption and waste. Following the kick-off on March 30, a Spring Food and Farm Fair will be held on Saturday, April 2 on the COCC Bend campus. The food and agriculture part of the series includes lectures on seeds and biodiversity, garden planning and soil.

In mid-April, lectures, fairs and tours about energy and alternative transpor-

tation will give people a chance to to learn about solar power, green building, tiny houses, and “Your Personal Carbon Footprint.” Two TechniArt Lighting Fairs will be held, one on the COCC Bend campus on April 13, and one on the COCC Redmond campus on April 14.

The fourth week of “SUSTAIN” explores water conservation and includes tours of the Bend Water Treatment Plant and the Redmond Water Treatment Plant, a lecture by Bend’s water conservation manager Mike Buettner, and a discussion about “Redmond Water Usage and Habitat Restoration,” led by Shon Rae of the Central Oregon Irrigation District.

The final week of the series devotes attention to consumption and waste with two lectures, a repair café workshop, a tour of the Knott Landfill and Recycling Center and the film “Trashed,” showing at COCC Redmond and COCC Cascade Culinary Institute on April 28.

Earth Day and Parade Friday, April 22 is Earth Day. Volunteer Connect is working with SOLVE to connect volunteers to projects in Central Oregon for the state's biggest environmental service day of the year.

Opportunities and information are available via volunteerconnectnow.org for April 22-23.

On Saturday, April 23, the Earth Day Fair and Parade will be hosted by The Environmental Center, 16 NW Kansas Ave., Bend, from 11:30-3 p.m. Following the parade, there will be live music, art, food, interactive displays and activities for all ages. SW

“These findings demonstrate that subsidies have value to producers, and some of those subsidies get bid into land costs. When those subsidies also serve to reduce risk, they have an even greater value than the subsidy alone,” explained Traci Bruckner, Senior Policy Associate with the Center for Rural Affairs.

Crop insurance premiums subsidized by the government reduce the risks associated with crop failure or loss of revenue. The amount of the subsidy varies by crop, by state and by year. Oregon received $2.1 billion in U.S. Department of Agriculture farm subsidies between 1995 and 2014. Of that amount, $262 million were crop insurance subsidies.

Tough Choices at the MPO

B

end’s Metropolitan Planning Organization met for the first time since the failure of the fuel tax ballot measure on March 8. The outlook was in stark contrast to claims by the anti-fuel tax political action committee that growth pays for itself.

"Right now, every department in the city must look for ways to make cuts,” said MPO Policy Board member and Bend City Councilor Doug Knight.

The MPO policy board, chaired by Tony Debone of Deschutes County, examined Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds, considering ways to help solve the nightmare of the $80 million needed for road repair in Bend. STP funds are federal and based on population, which means Bend receives four percent of the amount distributed to Oregon annually. In 2016, this is $1.01 million.

The annual budget to keep Bend roads in the current condition (rating a 68) is $4.3 million. One lane mile (12. ft wide) costs a minimum of $20,000 to maintain. The MPO left no stone unturned, reviewing line items such as bike lane striping, curbs and bus stops for cost-savings. Ultimately, it was apparent that competing needs may require consideration of less than 100 percent funding of essential services, including police and fire. SW

Growing popularity

hat was thought to be a fad in real estate in recent years doesn’t seem to be fading in popularity.

In 2015 the tiny home movement caught the imagination of the producers of the popular TV series “Portlandia.”

A skit by actors Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen poked fun at tiny homes. “Everything is thought out,” says Armisen’s character, showing off their own tiny house. “No waste of space anywhere.” They show a bathroom that doubles as the home office and a TV room that contains a bathtub. Humor aside, with an increasing scarcity of affordable housing in Bend, the tiny home movement seems to be gaining traction for those who want to live more efficiently on less.

Tiny Homes: The Builder’s View At first glance Randy Yow, a home builder in La Pine, would seem to represent the antitheses of the tiny home movement. His rural home is rustic and spacious. His workshop, located about a hundred feet from the house, is also spacious.

But inside, the workshop contains a tiny house he is currently building.

“What I have here is a tiny house in the framing stage,” Yow says. He explains that the 300 square ft. home will have two sleeping lofts, bat board siding, and a metal roof. The interior will be finished in white pine with blue pine cabinets.

A staircase leads up to the main 8’ x 9’ sleeping loft, which can accommodate a king-sized bed.

As Yow walks through the house, he points out where the kitchen, dishwasher and sink will be located.

“There will be a free-standing range/oven and an eating bar next to it.” Cabinets located below the staircase will provide storage space, and the lower half will contain a washer and dryer.

By Brian Jennings He points out the bathroom area where a composting toilet is located across from a shower.

Yow’s tiny home sits on a trailer that is 24 feet long and 8 ½ feet wide. “It’ll be very cute when it’s done—very cabin-like,” he says. The mobility of the home is an advantage that will allow it to be re-located fairly easily.

“One thing is clear: the community believes that tiny houses are an immediate answer to the housing crisis.”

-Jesse Russell When finished, Yow says the sale price will be around $65,000. He says he doesn’t fully understand the tiny house movement and that he probably couldn’t live in one for long himself.

“For a lot of the younger folks, this is a great first step for them when things are so expensive. And there are a lot of folks who simply want to scale down,” he says.

Tiny Homes: The Owner’s View

Hayley Murphy of Bend and her partner Eric Ohlrich are building a tiny home themselves. “The first thing that interested us was the fact that we weren’t quite ready to settle down somewhere,” she says. “We love Bend, but there are so many great places to live.” Murphy also says they were throwing away almost a thousand dollars a month to rent, so they decided it would be better to pay themselves to be able to live in a house they could take somewhere else if they wanted.

Murphy is a graduate of the University of Oregon, and school helped open her eyes to the environmental aspects of life. “The tiny house really lowers your impact on the environment,” she says. There is a financial upside as well. “It takes a lot less to build a tiny house than a large one,” she explains. Murphy says they hope to finish the home for $20,000 dollars or less.

“We got the trailer in June, and we both work full time so it’s been a slow process,” she says.

The outside of the home is fully built and weather-proofed. Next, they will tackle the interior.

Like Yow’s tiny house, Murphy’s house is being built on a 24-ft. trailer they purchased from a Portland company that specializes in building trailers for tiny homes. “We went with the 24-ft. trailer rather than a 20 ft. because that extra four feet adds a lot of space.” The house maximizes space with a shed style roof that provides 11-ft. ceilings in the living room. Though they are building it themselves, the roof—which contains two skylights—was built by roofing specialists to ensure that there would be no leaks. It contains a comfortable loft, kitchen area and bathroom – “All the essentials,” she says. “Our bedroom will accommodate a queen-size bed with closets on either side.” ...continues on Page 11

Murphy says that by building the house themselves they can tailor it to their unique needs.

For instance, to maximize space, the couch will have storage room beneath it. Everything in the house serves a dual purpose. “You’re building it for what you need it for, and it surprises others when they see how much storage the house can accommodate,” she says. When finished, the home will be 300 square feet, loft included.

Bend: An Affordable Housing Crisis Jesse Russell, owner of Tongue & Groove in Bend, is a builder of tiny houses. He says Bend has an affordable housing crisis and that it’s time for action. “We need all the members of the City Council and the Planning Commission to stop talking and start writing code for tiny houses on wheels,” he says. “One thing is clear: the community believes that tiny houses are an immediate answer to the housing crisis.”

Russell thinks that the lack of affordable housing in Bend is driving people away. “It’s driving the wrong people away from Bend: Artists, ski bums, students, bartenders – people who we think make the community richer, not with their money but with their ideals and attitudes. We don’t want to become Aspen.”

considering building one himself perhaps to use as a guest cottage. Though saying he’s not “anti-tiny home,” he has major concerns about them.

“Technically they’re an RV,” Long says. “As an RV, they’re going to have to go into an RV park.

Most folks that are building them are more or less squatting on land they are being built on, and they’re not really hooked into any kind of sanitary system. That’s not the proper way to do it.”

Long says he has safety concerns about tiny homes, too. “They’re not covered by any kind of building code, and that’s the scariest thing that I find.” RV’s and manufactured homes are state and federally regulated to ensure occupant safety. “Currently there’s no licensing entity tasked with the formal regulation to ensure safety for tiny homes,” he says. “No one is checking them for access or regress.”

Most of the tiny homes he’s seen are of wood construction and use propane for heat. RV sleeping areas, he says, are constructed to have kick-out windows large enough for occupants to escape and to allow entry for a firefighter with a backpack. Long, who has been a volunteer fire fighter, says most tiny homes put their sleeping areas in lofts that “virtually have no way of getting out in case of fire.”

He also has concerns about tiny house costs.

“Most of these I’ve seen are running from $50,000 to $80,000 dollars. For that cost, you can buy four camp trailers that are the same size.” He adds, “Camp trailers are easier to move, have the same square footage, and they are built to code.”

One major barrier to building tiny houses in Bend, Russell says, is high system development charges – fees that help Long says that part of the pay for roads, sewers, solution to Bend’s housand parks.

Keez to The Kingdom

Brad Jones introduces “Water Creatures”

By Jared Rasic

EVENTS FRI

25 SAT

26 Keez & Co. at play.

B

rad Jones, also known as Keez, is in the process of exploding. With his tunes in the trailers for “Ant-Man” and “Neighbors,” and his new record, “Water Creatures,” selling well and getting a glowing review from The Huffington Post (and many other outlets), Keez is poised on the brink. When asked whether it was weird to be set up right on the tipping point of blowing up commercially, Keez says, “It’s odd and cool.

Feels amazing and well deserved.”

Though “Water Creatures” is the album putting him on the map, Jones has been toiling in the music industry for years.

Between 1996 and 2001 he was in the local band Floor Ride, which was voted Central Oregon’s top band several years in a row. After a stint with another local band, Wookiefoot, he eventually released his first solo album in 1999: “Spots of Orange.”

He slowed down in the music industry for a few years while raising his daughter.

After touring with Dirtball off and on, it was the track that he produced with JayTab that was featured in the trailer for “Neighbors,” and then his subsequent track in the “Ant-Man” trailer that gave him his richest taste yet of commercial success. Why now? According to Keez: “My music wasn’t good enough for years.”

Keez doesn’t think his last record was very good. He wants Bend to really give “Water Creatures” a chance because he thinks he has turned a corner as an artist.

“I wasn’t focused on the last one,” says Jones, who adds that he was too scattered.

Scattered isn’t a word to describe “Water Creatures,” at all. Instead, the album feels like Jones is rediscovering his abilities and throwing everything at the wall to create a tapestry of everything he likes to hear. Watching him sing and play along with tracks from his next record is to see someone truly in love with the moment and what he is achieving in it.

Keez & Co.'s new album, "Water Creatures."

“I’m playing around with sounds and tones” says Jones. “When I play the keyboard, I find a certain tone I like and it kind of developed into a style of songwriting. I had no idea what I was going for, just that I liked what it sounded like when I got there.”

That sense of improvisation is what keeps “Water Creatures” from ever be-

coming stale over its 73-minute run time.

The opening track, “Freak Show,” is a hook-heavy, Addams Family electro-funk tune, while the second song is a synth-fueled ‘80s inspired pop track. “I create these sounds,” says Jones, “and I think ‘oh, this would be great for a reggae song or a disco funk song’ and it turns into that. Basically, I did that every day of the week for six-months at a time. I decided to go for a vocal album. I decided to go to my roots and sing.”

“Water Creatures” feels like Keez has something to prove and he’s ready to be judged for it. Though staying firmly nestled in EDM (except for the show-stopping, mid-album “Mr. Stallenbrown), Keez doesn’t seem interested in the constraints of sticking to a specific style of electronic music. After hearing a few tracks from his next record (due around June 1, according to Keez), he is only expanding the scope of his sound. The new beats are extremely catchy and seem perfectly calibrated to be radio-ready hits.

When asked to describe whether he plans to stick with EDM or go back to his classical piano roots, Keez answers: “It’s going to be a really incredible electronic album. It’s really dark Trent Reznor meets Phish meets Filter meets Queens of the Stone Age meets Empire of the Sun with a twist. Also the huge Trap, Big Beat drops EDM. I’m trying to get as weird as I can.” SW

B. Dolan’s insta-classic, “Kill the Wolf”

21st Century Protest Tunes

Hear bluegrass band Hot Buttered Rum play at The Belfry in Sisters, 3/23.

B. Dolan, on tour for his new album "Kill The Wolf," performs at Volcanic Theatre Pub, 3/30.

L

ast year brought “Kill the Wolf,” the record B. Dolan is touring with now and it’s an excellent starting point for new fans. Twenty musicians, vocalists, producers and engineers were involved in making it and it took Dolan more than five years to complete. With verses from Aesop Rock, Cecil Otter, Buck 65 and more, “Kill the Wolf ” is an underground hip-hop instant classic.

“Thematically, ‘Kill The Wolf ’ started out as two different ideas in my head,” says Dolan. “One was a production idea, the other was a writing idea,” he says. “As the producer of this album, I had a sound concept in mind of combining breakbeats and big 808s with live guitars and analogue synths, sort of an early Rick Rubin meets Jack White and “Electric Mud” approach. As for the writing of the album, I ended up with some very ambitious and broad topics without meaning to. Maybe because the production of the album took so long, every idea had time to sort of spin itself fully out. Narrow political topics got broadened into bigger narratives about who I am and the time I’m living in,” he adds.

It’s immediately apparent on B. Dolan’s 2015 release, “Kill the Wolf,” that he will never settle down in his exploration of hip-hop music. He started primarily as a slam poet gaining a reputation on HBO’s “Def Poetry” in 2002 and spent years as a spoken word/slam poet before eventually transitioning into straight hip-hop.

“Hip-hop grabbed me from age 12,” says Dolan. “When I first heard Scarface’s album ‘The Diary,’ I started writing raps and also other things right after I heard it. Once I started, I never really turned

down a challenge if a sort of writing interested me. I considered it all an exercise and still do. When I read some lyrics at an open mic, someone told me to go to the Nuyorican Poets Cafe which is where I got onstage for the first time.

After that I started winning and a lot of people came to know me as a spoken word poet,” he says.

His 2008 full-length debut, “The Failure,” had guest appearances by two of the best MC’s in history, Sole and Sage Francis, dabbling in avant-core hip-hop. With eccentric beats and lyrics, Dolan not only examines himself, but the entire format of hip-hop in general.

The 2010 “Fallen House, Sunken City” was released on Sage’s label, Strange Famous Records, and produced by Alias, one of the best beat-smiths on the planet. Those two variables gave that album an underground hip-hop sound, with Dolan’s lyrics reaching his zenith of anger, walking the tightrope between protest tunes and raging at the dying of the light masterfully.

With “Kill the Wolf,” Dolan proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is one of the best lyricists on Earth. He adds a full backing rock band for most of the tracks and his flow has moved away from a poetic approach to a forceful delivery that sells his calls to action. This isn’t just a great new hip-hop album, it’s an all-time classic just waiting to be discovered. SW B. Dolan “Kill The Wolf” Tour Wednesday, March 30, 8 p.m.

ot Buttered Rum is a tasty adult beverage served on cold nights, but in a folk-loving town, the name takes on a new meaning. This five-piece American folk and bluegrass group, playing at the The Belfry tonight, is best known for its dedication to “guerrilla bluegrass,” bringing the love to some of the most unexpected places.

The band plays unannounced short performances in unlikely pop-up venues between its regular gigs. However, the show coming up tonight, March 23, is planned and is the first performance from the break of a multi-state tour.

Aaron Redner (fiddle, mandolin and vocals), Nat Keefe (guitar, vocals), and Erik Yates (banjo, Dobro, flute and vocals), along with Bryan Horne (bass and vocals) and Lucas Carlton (percussion) have been playing together more than 15 years. Many groups, duos, and even marriages don’t last nearly as long.

Keefe was able to put down his guitar for a few moments to talk about the upcoming show tonight in Sisters.

“We’ve had so much luck over the years,” he says. “We are still having fun.

I feel blessed every day,” he says. He reflects back from the very beginning, how it all started, and talks about how the name Hot Buttered Rum came into existence. “When we first were getting the band together, that was the drink we made, and it was not very good. I’d like to say that, like that drink, our music improved over the years as well.” After a decade and a half of rehearsals, shows, jamming sessions, and guerrilla bluegrass invasions, one could imagine the mix has been perfected.

This group is known for its spontaneous invasions of progressive bluegrass and

folk sounds, creating versions of tunes obvious in identification, with a method and delivery quite unexpected. Whereas many artists and musicians make a point of getting name recognition with banners, signs, verbal repetition and even at times planted audience members, this California-based band wants the music to be the focus.

In what is akin to a musical flash mob, Hot Buttered Rum makes an anonymous appearance by busting into the most un-folk of places: any random spot can come to mind, from a tattoo shop to an ice cream parlor. Often the mobile phone recordings and personal memories are the only proof of the existence of the occasion. Keefe points out that when starting such a performance, no mention is made of the band’s name and they do not accept any funds. “We don’t do it for the publicity,” says Keefe, “it is about bringing a magical moment to the people.”

It’s easy to imagine the audience's reaction to this musical generosity. Keefe recalls a woman, working the middle of a double shift, who just thanked them for making her day better. “That’s why we do it,” says Keefe. Nobody can argue with that type of giving sentiment.

That’s what music is all about—making days better, feelings stronger, and life worth living. If this sounds like a good potion, then check out what Hot Buttered Rum has to offer. SW

“Dog Sees God” Opens The Peanuts gang grows up in an unauthorized parody

ART WATCH

By Sherron Lumley

Art in the High Desert Art in the High Desert is an annual non-profit art event in Bend recently ranked 12th in the nation among fine art fairs. This summer, from August 26 to 28, art lovers and collectors will gather to see the the best art selected by the jurors. Hand-picked artists from across the continent, including 37 states, Canada and Mexico, will come to Bend to present new work on the banks of the Deschutes River in the Old Mill District.

The preview session held last Friday filled a large room with dozens of onlookers who sat in rapt attention for two hours on wooden folding chairs as thousands of photos were projected for viewing. This was a mostly gray and silver-headed crowd with a taste for the exquisite. “I bought that pot,” is overheard, whispered from one gentleman, in the middle of viewing the ceramics category. This juried art show is a collection of individual masterpieces and any one piece could easily be treasured for a lifetime.

“D

og Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” is an original play by Bert V. Royal that follows the lives of the characters from the famous comic strip, Peanuts.

Kids grow up, as they do, and the beloved characters in this unauthorized parody, are no exception to the rule. If the expectation is that of a nostalgic evening, then the awakening will be a bit rude. However, eyes will be wide-open as Jared Rasic’s interpretation is presented opening night March 31.

Jim Mocabee plays Matt, who is C.B’s best friend and nothing like his younger messier self. Kit Foreman as Tricia and Christian Machado-Snyder as Marcy, play party girls. Cameron Springstun brings Van to life, the character who was ever the philosopher in childhood, and now a pothead. Skye Stafford plays Van’s Sister, and her fate is quite unusual.

The play holds true to the characters, who have since shed their iconic names, though clues are available. C.B. is the main character, sad about the death of his dog. Hints are given within moments of each introduction to aid in the transitional identification of the rest of the cast. However, instead of taking away footballs, they are now dealing with sex, drugs, violence and more. Teenage angst of the most severe degree is behind these characters who are no longer the children they once were.

Bend’s version of “Dog Sees God” will be the next performance in the the Black Box Series of the Cascades Theatrical Company (CTC), catering to the darker, more obscure side of life. Rasic, the Source’s arts and culture editor, was brought from the front lines of the bylines to the backstage director’s chair.

After years of stage acting in his spare time, playing as many exotic roles as he could, he became a clear choice for director in the CTC Black Box series.

He is supported by assistant director Sydney Goodman and stage manager Shannyn Christensen with costumes by Susanna Harrison and lighting design by Jim Mocabee.

The cast includes Dan Schimmoller as C.B. and Aine Jackson as his sister.

Chase Johnston plays Beethoven, the school outcast who comforts himself with his music.

Rasic brings a unique sense of humor and an open mind to his directing, learned from years of being directed himself. He makes a point not to force his strict definition of characters onto

the actors. “You have to be able to accept their interpretations,” he explains.

“I want them to know who their roles are better than I ever could,” he says.

Though “Dog Sees God” is based on the Peanuts comic strip, any expectation of an animated feel should be checked at the door. This is a play about life’s most primal emotions. There are many reasons to see a play, especially one of such acclaim, including challenging one’s comfort zone enough to uncover even the smallest amount of raw emotion. On this visit within the fourth wall, it’s easy to get lost in a world that was part of many childhoods.

An underground favorite since its first reading at Barrow Street Theatre in New York in 2004, "Dog Sees God" is billed as an unauthorized parody, protected under First Amendment rights. SW [Editor's note: Jared Rasic is the arts and culture editor for the Source. He did not assign, review or edit this story.]

More than 550 artists applied this year for 115 spots across 15 categories. In the painting category, for example, of the 73 painters who submitted work to the jurors, only 12 will be accepted. Categories include jewelry, painting, sculpture, wood, glass, photography, wearables, ceramics, drawing, digital, metal, mixed media, fiber, 3-D and printmaking. The words “utterly amazing” would barely come close enough to describing the quality and beauty of the art.

“It’s tough to be a juror,” is an understatement! It was heartbreaking to see how many tremendously talented artists the jurors will be required to exclude.

Art in the High Desert is not only a chance to see fine art and craft, but also to meet highly-acclaimed artists in person before purchasing original work.

There is also an opportunity to host an invited artist through the Artist Home Hosting Program organized through AHD. Visit ArtintheHighDesert.com for more information about hosting. This event is completely supported by volunteers and many volunteer opportunities are also described online. SW

CULTURE Get Back to Work

The Workhouse thrives four years later

By Jared Rasic 29 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 12 / March 24, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The Workhouse will celebrate its fourth anniversary of the Last Saturday celebration on Saturday, March 26. Photos courtesy of Cari Brown.

T

he Workhouse isn’t just part of Bend’s current artistic landscape, it is unequivocally part of Central Oregon’s history as well. The Workhouse is located in the machine shop of the early-20th century Bend Iron Works. In 1916 the Shevlin-Hixon and Brooks-Scanlon lumber mills opened, which seemed like the perfect opportunity for two young entrepreneurs from The Independent Foundry Company of Portland to open shop on donated land from Brooks-Scanlon.

A month after opening, the foundry burnt down. Right away they got back to work, rebuilding the foundry, this time with brick walls and a wooden roof. The Workhouse is located on the grounds of that rebuilt machine shop, its bones stretching across history and breathing new life into its newly beating heart.

Founded by Cari Brown and Stuart Breidenstein in 2012, The Workhouse came to life in a way that could have failed so easily: one missed payment or a slowing down just through sheer exhaustion, but they fought through.

“The Workhouse was such a beast,” says Brown. “Absolutely demanding. It was terrifying, but I simply refused to fail. I am certain that I made so many mistakes,” she says.

The Workhouse started simply and

humbly, as the best things often do.

According to Brown, “It evolved out of the desire to fill a beautiful space with something meaningful.” She describes the space for artists and makers as an expression of function, permitted land use, and the desire to have a positive impact on the community and economy of Bend. Workhouse is provides a space for artists and makers to interact, make work, and interface with the public on a more personal and direct level.

It started with six studios, a community work space and around 20 consigners.

“We had no operating budget and relied solely on the rents we collected and commission from sales,” she says. Those sales were generated by word of mouth and a lucky proximity to The Sparrow Bakery, says Brown. Eventually the community really caught on, leading to the launching of the Last Saturday art celebrations in The Old Ironworks. As a juxtaposition to the First Friday art walks showcasing major market artists, the Last Saturday celebrations tend to be maker-driven, featuring local artists.

“We wanted people to be inspired and to realize that they are creative too,” Brown says.

The success of the Workhouse provides autonomy to many local artists and adds depth to the local arts and culture scene.

“We wanted to feel at home and possible in the town we lived in,” says Brown, who notes a sea change taking place, “where the people and the integrity behind what we consume matter.”

This weekend, The Workhouse will celebrate its fourth anniversary of the Last Saturday celebration on March 26.

In that time, much has changed around The Workhouse, but the mission and the drive has remained strong and precise.

“There have been a total of 18 studio members over the past few years,” says Brown. “Some have moved away, had babies, moved on to open their own studios, lost their battle with cancer, or chosen to follow an altogether different path, and some have stayed on, continuing to call The Workhouse home. I am grateful to each person who has had a studio in The Workhouse, for all that they have taught me and each other, all of the support, inspiration, and insight they have shared, and for bravely showing up to my dream by showing up to their own.” SW Fourth Anniversary & Last Saturday The Workhouse Saturday, March 26, 6 p.m.

The Brown Owl's New Pub & Restaurant The who’s who of food opens a venue near downtown

By Angela Moore 31 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 12 / March 24, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

W

hat was once a beloved and insanely popular food cart has now found a permanent perch in the Old Mill Market Place, home to many new shops opening this spring. The Brown Owl is expected to open in mid-April. Owner and operator of The Brown Owl, Lisandro Ramon is eagerly awaiting the birth of his third child all, while his brainchild also wraps up its final production phase.

Certain specifics, much like a child’s personality, will come a bit later. Ramon would just like to see his brain-baby have all 10 fingers and toes and be a happy, healthy, hip hub. There will be live music, a variety of drinks, good food, good times and many opportunities for mingling.

From family to patrons to friends and acquaintances, it seems like everyone is pitching in to see this once mobile venue turn into a stationary Bend staple.

Ramon talks about how his dad, Jose Ramon, has put some serious backing, not just physically and emotionally, but also

financially, into making his dream a reality. “Without him, none of this would be happening,” says Ramon. Aside from his father making the contributions, many of Ramon’s friends have also been applying their knowledge and skills to aid in the construction. That so many people have put some serious blood, sweat, and tears into the raising of this barn-style venue, says a lot about the belief in its success.

Expected to have about a dozen employees at the time of opening, almost all new, speaks to the fresh start in the growing of the Old Mill Market Place.

The overall look of the new venue is very much a rustic and relaxing atmosphere.

With design elements of wood and steel throughout the entire interior, this warehouse-style space is both cozy and functional. Most of the materials used have been reclaimed from recycled bits and pieces to transform this once empty space into a comfortable new owl’s nest worth checking out.

Opening this Spring!

FAC E N FOR BOOK

When asked about his dream for The Brown Owl, Ramon discusses a few of the things that he knows from personal experience that Bend needs. Having two, and soon three, children, he pointed out that Bend lacks a bit on family-friendly pubs. This professional chef of 10 years is making it so that families can all enjoy what The Brown Owl has to offer during the day. “Even though it’s a bar, families are always welcomed,” says Ramon, adding that there will be an adult and kids’ menu to suit all tastes. The bar will be full service, serving up beverages to go along with his classic “cart originals,” one of which will still be its famed chicken sandwich. In addition to keeping the most popular of the current menu items, with a larger space comes a larger menu. For those who have a hard time with change, fear not, the familiar and completely recognizable cart will still be a functioning part of the plan. Parked out front, this Bend favorite will serve as a cooking

and ordering station, so while enjoying a couple of drinks at the new venue, there will be no need to quit the night early in search of food.

Having a comparably bigger space than the cart, yet a relatively cozier one in comparison to larger bars Ramon enjoys the idea of the intimacy when it comes to allowing people to grow outside of their circles and start meeting people around them. “Most places, you come in with your friends, and leave with them as well. There is no socializing beyond the group,” says Ramon, “I want to change that.” The Brown Owl’s intimate charm, music, the food, and the possibility of meeting someone new, all in an enjoyable atmosphere, is a great recipe for an amazing time.

MICRO Immersed on

Immersion Brewing's head brewer, Josh Cosci.

A

tlas Cider Co.’s tasting room along Industrial has been open since last July, and by all accounts it’s still a beaut of a place, wide-open and airy and all but demanding a visit. The cider remains excellent, from the sessionable apple released as far south as Nevada to the cinnamon-pair blend that’s wowing people at the company’s booth in the Portland Saturday Market.

Fewer business locations around town better exemplify the dizzying rise and fall of real estate in Bend than the Old Mill Marketplace, where Atlas is located. The complex, just north of the lumber mill that defines the Old Mill District townscape, was first purchased for over $18 million in March 2007 by a Portland development group. Another development firm, Killian Pacific, then bought the 4.3-acre facility in July 2013 for $6.4 million, just about one-third of the price. (Timing really is everything with real estate, isn’t it?) Now, of course, Bend’s right back where it used to be—and the Marketplace is shaping up to be yet another destination for craft libations.

In a few months, Atlas will have not one, but two beer-centric neighbors. After a long construction phase, Immersion Brewing—a couple of doors down from

Atlas—is planning a May 2016 open, and it’s starting pretty big by microbrew standards. The starting lineup of five beers (including the usual pales, IPAs and saisons) will be created in-house on a 10-barrel system by Josh Cosci, fresh from stints at Worthy and Three Creeks, and food will be on offer as well.

What makes Immersion unique, though, is its “brew-it-yourself ” program, allowing would-be brewmasters to design recipes and create their own batches of beer on pro-grade equipment. That’s a first for Bend, the idea being to make it easier for folks to craft decent beer without spending a mint on gear—all while having an actual brewer help out along the way.

Also joining the Marketplace soon is another old favorite: The Brown Owl, which used to rock it at The Lot off Galveston in food-cart form. It’s making the upgrade to a full-on pub and restaurant, and so far it’s looking great, with a spanking-new polished bar and lots of artisanal wood on the walls. Beer’s going to be a factor there, of course, as well as the massive chicken-and-egg sandwiches and double-fried French fries that still make the place so memorable over a year after its Lot closure.

Sly Like a Fox

The message of "Zootopia" is more than timely

By Jared Rasic 33 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 12 / March 24, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

D

isney’s “Zootopia” is not only a pretty great story that is very well told, the entire plot is built around some amazing messages for 2016. This isn’t propaganda or some weird form of indoctrination, but “Zootopia” spends its entire running time focused on an important message that it spells out beautifully.

The best animated films nowadays aren’t just about giving parents some place to take their kids for a few hours.

Messages and thematic material are sprinkled throughout the bright colors and beautiful animation not only for the young audience, but also to give parents something to chew on, creating an inroad for difficult conversations.

Judy Hopps (voiced adorably by Ginnifer Goodwin) is a rabbit who has wanted to be a cop since she was a child. She passes the police academy and is assigned to the city of Zootopia. The city is broken

up into different sectors such asTundra Town and Sahara Square, but the twist is that everyone lives side by side: the predators and the prey.

Ever since Judy was a tiny rabbit, she feared (and was taught to fear by her parents) foxes, who were supposedly all violent and conniving. She even has pepper spray that is specifically targeted at foxes. When she arrives in Zootopia and meets a fox, she tries to push her judgments of foxes down to help him, but he turns out to be running a scam and all of her fears are basically founded. However, when she starts getting to know her new red fox friend (perfectly voiced by Jason Bateman), he tells his story of how he was always treated like he was going to be an animal and a conniving sneak, so he just became one since that’s all anyone expected.

The two of them team up to take on a mystery of disappearing animals that

feels like a mash-up of “Chinatown” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.” Though the mystery is fun and engaging and there’s plenty of action and laughs for the kids and grown-ups, this Disney movie is straight-up about racism. Judy learns to get over her prejudices and fight institutional inequality, Nick Wilde, the fox, learns that systemic discrimination doesn’t need to shape how he sees himself, and the big mystery is all tied to keeping the majority in fear of the minority.

sun that is easily picked off. Part of the overarching conspiracy is to make the 90 percent fearful of the 10 percent for crimes they didn’t commit. At one point, the villain even says how easy it is to control the majority through fear. Although those are some pretty heady topics for a Disney movie, the message is handled well and the film is a ton of fun.

Co-directors Byron Howard (“Tangled”) and Rich Moore (“Futurama”) have built a fully realized world (where dozens of stories can be told), creating an incredible device for teaching kids not to be judgmental, bigoted fools.

“Zootopia” is an important movie for parents, for kids and for anyone who has an appreciation of animated films. Asking people to be less prejudiced and more open-minded isn’t just something that kids should be learning, but a message for the entire world. Zootopia opened globally this month with box office sales approaching $600 million, and more countries to come.

The predators in "Zootopia" are only 10 percent of the population, with the other 90 percent made up of mice, sheep, rabbits and everything else under the

DO WHAT MAKES YOU SMILE! BEND, OR

0 Cloverfield Lane” is going to be a love it or hate it movie for general audiences. The people who enjoy the film’s first two acts are probably going to hate the third and those who are only after what the third act promises are going to be bored with the first two. In order to get into those details, this review will have to rely on being spoiler-heavy. Now, this is a fantastic film to go into blind, so if you still want to be surprised by the film, quit reading now.

SPOILERS: “10 Cloverfield Lane” tells the story of Michelle, (an excellent Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who has just had a huge fight with her fiancé and taken off. As she is driving through the country, she gets in a car accident and wakes up chained to a wall in a concrete room. Her “caretaker” is Howard, played by an intensely excellent John Goodman. He tells her that there was some sort of end of the world-style attack outside and that he found her unconscious and saved her life.

She is in Howard’s doomsday bunker, complete with working kitchen, jukebox and plenty of other amenities. Also in the bunker is Emmett (the always reliable John Gallagher, Jr.), a country boy who helped Howard build the bunker and fought to get down there after he saw massive explosions in the distance.

Michelle believes she has been kidnapped and starts planning an escape.

After seeing some horrific things from the hatch of the bunker, she realizes things are definitely not okay outside, but Howard is also a very unstable host.

A huge part of the mystery of the first two acts is whether Howard is actually a good guy or a deranged creeper with only bad things on the brain.

One thing audiences will notice is the word “Cloverfield” in the film’s title, connecting it to the 2008 found footage monster movie “Cloverfield.” Folks who were fans of “Cloverfield” will especially wonder how the films are connected, as the first two-thirds of “10 Cloverfield Lane” essentially play out as a locked room chamber mystery with three

characters.

Just having the name “Cloverfield” in the title should let audiences familiar with the original know what to expect and whether Howard is delusional or prophetic, and this is where the issues audiences might have with the film pile up. The first hour and change of this film are a slowly ratcheting master class in psychological thriller filmmaking.

The script luxuriates on these characters and gives excellent insight into how their minds work, while also moonlighting as an intense mystery.

Michelle eventually realizes Howard is both insane AND right about the attack, but she would rather take her chances outside. Instantly, the film then switches gears into a sci-fi action flick which might throw general audiences for a loop.

The problem is that people who enjoyed the slow burn psychological thriller aspects of the first two thirds will invariably be disappointed when things become more action driven, and the folks who came expecting “Cloverfield 2” will be bored waiting to get to the fireworks factory.

Ignoring audience expectations altogether, the film is pretty great as it stands. Its connections to “Cloverfield” are tenuous enough to act as a world builder for an entire series of alien invasion anthology-esque films that take place in this world that J.J. Abrams and team have created. The final few minutes of the flick are disappointingly open-ended, leaving plenty of room for explorations of the “Cloverfield” universe from completely different angles.

There are a few huge missteps (the last few minutes with Goodman, in particular), but overall, “10 Cloverfield Lane” is a genre-defying and fascinating thriller, and it's impossible to look away. It has something to offer everyone willing to go along for the ride.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE: Somehow this film connects into the universe started with 2008’s “Cloverfield,” but all we know going in is that Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays a young woman who was in an accident and wakes up a few days later in an underground bunker with John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr. Goodman tells her the world has ended and he saved her life, but can she really trust him?

This should be a nail-biter. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

45 YEARS: A beautiful portrait of a married couple during the week of their 45th wedding anniversary. When the body of the husband’s ex-girlfriend is found (she fell off a cliff hiking), it gives them both a chance to examine how life might have been if different paths had been chosen. In turns bitingly witty, haunting and potently depressing, “45 Years” is not a film that is easy to shake off. Tin Pan Theater

ALLEGIANT: The third (of four) films based on the "Divergent" series of young adult books. Tris and Four and her people figured out that there is more beyond the fence than they thought, so this installment follows their first exploration of the larger world beyond.

The second "Divergent" film was so terrible, it will be interesting to see if anyone other than book fans turn up for this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BRONZE: This one was picked up a few years ago at Sundance, but wasn’t released until now, which isn’t a good sign. The film follows a horrific human being (Melissa Rauch) who was a former Bronze medalist in the Olympics. She has been cashing in on her celebrity in her hometown for years, until she is asked to train a young gymnast who might possibly steal her glory. Word on this flick is not good at all. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

EDDIE THE EAGLE:

Inspired by true events, this tells the tale of Michael “Eddie” Edwards, a British ski jumper who was seen as too lower class to compete in the Olympics, but kept proving people wrong even as he kept getting better at his sport of choice. This looks like 2016’s version of “Cool Runnings” and that is a good sign. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KUNG FU PANDA 3: “Kung Fu Panda 2” was a highlight in the recent onslaught of sequel-itus animated films of the last few years.

Let’s hope this one has the heart and soul of the previous entries, as well as the eye-popping animation and exciting action sequences for which this franchise is known. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN: Jennifer Garner and Martin Henderson play a married

couple whose daughter has an illness no doctors can identify. When the little girl falls and hits her head, her illness goes away. Loosely based on a true story, this follows the style of book where someone who dies ends up speaking to someone in heaven. Queen Latifah plays Angela, a waitress who befriends the family at the hospital. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

RACE: A new biopic about athlete Jesse Owens and his experiences at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. This should be uplifting, exciting and infuriating in equal measures, and with director Stephen Hopkins (“Predator 2”), it will be visually sumptuous, as well. An important story that everyone should know.

Jerrigrace was interviewed on CNN Headline News and was featured in the acclaimed PBS documentary “A Family Undertaking,” available through Netflix.

SON OF SAUL: This one is up for the Best Foreign Film Oscar and purports to be one of the most powerful movies about the Holocaust since Schindler’s List. This tells the tale of a concentration camp inmate who is charged with burning the bodies of the dead who must choose between an uprising or giving his son a proper burial. Intensely focused and quite powerful, “Son of Saul” is a film that will be remembered for some time to come.

Tin Pan Theater WHERE TO INVADE NEXT: Michael Moore asks other countries how the U.S. is truly viewed and what things we could do as a country to be better received. Moore is a pro at pushing the hot buttons, but most of the people who could really gain something from his films will never take a chance on watching one. Instead, Moore is stuck preaching to the choir. It’s a powerful message if only more people would listen. Tin Pan Theater

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT: This is NOT based on the excellent 2014 novel by David Shafer about the privatization of all information, but instead a comedy about war, starring Tina Fey and Margot Robbie. Fey plays a war correspondent in Afghanistan and Pakistan during Operation Enduring Freedom who builds weird relationships with her fellow reporters and others on the ground. Written by one of the head writers of “30 Rock,” this should be one of the smartest and explosively hilarious comedies of the year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE YOUNG MESSIAH: Though there have been quite a few Hollywood movies about the life and times of Jesus Christ over the last few years, none have focused solely on his days as a child. “The Young Messiah” follows Jesus as a 7 year old as he learns of his powers. Sean Bean is in this, leading us to wonder whether he can even survive the story of pre-teen Jesus. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ZOOTOPIA: Advanced word on this one has it being one of the best animated films in years with a genuinely important message about how people need to do better at living with each other. Zootopia is a place where all animals live together side by side, predators and prey. When some bad stuff goes down, two cops, a fox and a rabbit, must team up to find out what happened and protect Zootopia. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Ancient Oregonians

Archaeologists recover oldest remains in North America near Summer Lake

D

r. Dennis Jenkins, senior staff archaeologist at the University of Oregon, likes to discover and document ancient life—really ancient life in Central and Eastern Oregon, dating back at least 14,500 years. At a recent public lecture at Bend’s Old Stone Church, sponsored by the Oregon Natural Desert Association, Jenkins described the Paisley Caves site near Summer Lake in southeast Oregon. This is where he says Oregon archaeologists recovered the oldest directly dated human remains in the New World. “The Paisley Caves are the best carbon-dated site in North America,” he says. The Monte Verde site in Chile is about the same age, but it may have an older component dating 18,000 years or more.

Mammoth and mastodon kill sites in the western Great Lakes region of Wisconsin date back approximately 13,000 years. Jenkins, who has done over 100 field investigations spanning a quarter of a century, also says he thinks he and his colleagues have “barely scratched the surface” in their discoveries.

Jenkins discussed an evolving Oregon landscape where climates have changed substantially over thousands of years.

He describes a wet climate 9-10,000 years ago where lakes in the region were hundreds of feet deep. About 9,000 years ago those lakes began to dry up.

About 6,000 years ago the waters came back, only to dry up again. He says this moist climate supported a great deal of

plant life and that these early humans were highly knowledgeable about how to preserve and store roots, nuts, and berries to sustain them during the long winter months.

Migrating from Siberia, early humans encountered mammoths, camels, huge bison, and horses that were a staple of their diet along with smaller animals such as deer, antelope, and mountain sheep. Ancient tools discovered in the region include items such as a bear bone flesher used to remove flesh. However, the numbers of the largest animals began to drop, and they were almost non-existent beginning about 12,800 years ago.

Hunting and gathering was a continual process for their survival, and human populations increased over time. Where hunting grounds were once abundant, animal populations and other resources decreased because of more human pressure and climate changes. This led to changes in living situations in order to survive.

A noticeable change occurred beginning about 6,000 years ago when these early inhabitants began moving out of caves and closer to marsh areas where game and plants were found. The first rudimentary stone houses appeared.

These houses often had their entries facing east, away from the prevailing southwestern winds. Evidence has been uncovered of food storage pits that could be defended. Early evidence of fishing, including stashes of dried Tui

Chub which provided essential fat to their diets, has also been found. Trade routes were established. Beads and other items that were commonplace in Mexico have been found as far north as Oregon.

With these changes, socialization also evolved. Smoking, using a form of “wild tobacco,” became commonplace as did competitive games and other organized activities.

The Paisley Caves aren’t the only well-documented archaeological site in southeastern Oregon. The Fort Rock site was first excavated by Luther Cressman and a University of Oregon field crew in 1938. Below a layer of volcanic ash from Mt. Mazama, they found hundreds of sandals made of sage brush which dated back 10,000 years. Nine miles south are the Connley Caves, which are a series of eight caves where signs of human existence have been found, including water fowl bones approximately 13,000 years old.

Jenkins says that there are opportunities for the general public to participate in the search and documentation of ancient life in Oregon. “The public can join amateur groups like the Archaeological Society of Central Oregon in Bend.

These groups have paired up with professional archaeologists and are participating in conducting valuable research,” he says. SW For more information visit the Oregon Archaeological Society online: oregonarchaeological.org

The Bend Endurance Academy, which focuses on coaching youth and young adults through active outdoor experiences, is offering a series of free mountain bike clinics specifically for girls ages 11 to 18. BEA will also feature weekly all-female rides. According to BEA Cycling Director Bill Warburton, “The intro clinics offer a great starting point for girls who are new or not as experienced with riding on single track trails.”

A series of three clinics are scheduled on March 30, April 30, and June 12.

The weekly Girls Mountain Bike Rides will be led with female coaches and will focus on building skills and confidence.

These are scheduled every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon from 2 to 5 pm, from March 30 to June 9. A summer session is scheduled every Wednesday and Thursday. For more information, check the academy’s website: bendenduranceacademy.org. Nordic skiing, cycling, and rock climbing are also offered.

COCC Mountain Biking Courses Central Oregon Community College is offering beginning and intermediate mountain biking courses this spring.

The beginning course will help build basic bike skills while teaching trail etiquette and nutrition, and introducing riders to techniques on local trails.

Class time is split between riding and instruction with rest periods during the 3.5-hour class. Those who enroll in the class should be comfortable riding on five miles of dirt trails. Classes are conducted every Friday afternoon 12:45 to 4:20 p.m. from April 22 to June 3. Cost of the class is $89.

The intermediate mountain biking course will offer a little more challenge.

Riders should have the ability to ride for an extended period of time both on and off road. This course is conducted Friday mornings from 8:45 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. Cost is $89. Register at cocc.edu/ continuinged, or call 541-383-7270. SW

NATURAL WORLD

T

he Old Mill District and the East Cascades Audubon Society (ECAS) are again offering free weekly bird walks to any one of all ages every other Friday, April 1 through the end of May. The free walks are guided by an ECAS bird expert and wind around the trails of the Old Mill District that run along the Deschutes River, a migratory corridor that attracts a variety of birds — either passing through or cherished residents.

“You don’t have to be an expert to appreciate birding,” said Sheryl Pierce of ECAS. “It is a wonderful way to get outdoors and enjoy all that springtime in Central Oregon has to offer, and learn something about our birds along the way.

We are excited to offer these walks to both residents and visitors in the area.”

For the novice it will be an introduction to the fun and—if they want—the science of birding. Yes, “birding,” not “bird-watching.” For the novice, or expert, it gets one right out in the wonderful cold, hot, stormy, warm sunlight and every other kind of weather there is.

For most novices, once they’ve been on a birding trip with a person who knows his-or-her birds, that’s the beginning of a lot of fun that can last a lifetime.

As a person begins seeing birds and recognizing them for their place in the natural — and our —world, he or she will want to keep a record of who, where and what bird they observed, and that opens the door to The Life List. That part of birding is like a fever, it spreads and once infected, there is no cure.

The Life List is just that, a record of the

birds you’ve seen in your lifetime. Mine started when I was about 10-years old on the family farm in Connecticut. One of the highlights of the Life List is reaching the 500 mark. When you have 500 birds on your Life List there’s a sense of appreciation for the diversity of nature that opens your eyes to all Earth has to offer.

Over the years, my son Dean and I have had the fun of asking each other, “How many birds ya’ got?” We see-sawed back and forth right up into his adult years to when he became a fighter pilot in the U.S Air Force, then one night the phone rang and it was Dean calling from Italy: “Hey pop!” he exclaimed with a lift in his voice, “I just got my 500th bird!”

“Wonderful!” I said, “What was it?”

“I don’t know,” he promptly replied.

Bird Walks at the Old Mill

my Viper Jet.” That did it. “Did it come inside?” I asked, holding my breath.

“No, thank goodness,” he replied, “but I think it was a buzzard of some kind.”

That started a discussion about birds of Europe that went on for almost an hour; father-and-son talking about birds together, as we have on so many occasions over the years.

The songbird of spring, the Red-winged Blackbird, just one of the birds that birders can spot when on a bird walk at the Old Mill. Photo by Jim Anderson.

Of course that got to me immediately, “What do you mean, ‘you don’t know!’

You can’t count it if you don’t know what it was.”

“I know that, Pop,” he answered, “It just left a big brown smear down the side of

That’s what birding does for a family, it brings everyone involved into harmony. (Until one person disagrees with the other about the ID of a particular bird.

That can go on all night!) That’s why ECAS starts kids out in the very early years discovering the beauty of birds and how wonderfully they fit into our lives.

Mary Yanalcanlin, a wonderful human being, teacher, and faithful member of ECAS has been introducing kids to birds for many years. Every Monday morning at 10 a.m. you can find her on the banks of the Deschutes River in Drake Park with youngsters and parents, “Oo-ing and ahhing” as the kids learn the

names of the birds they’re looking at, and how they fit into the overall web of life.

Mary says, “All ages are welcome, for the excitement of exploration, singing, finger plays, observation, learning, questioning...it’s all part of a fun-filled hour. We meet near the middle of the park by the restrooms. A parent or a responsible caretaker is required to accompany the child. Come join us. We meet regardless of the weather, so please dress in warm, dry layers.”

Then there’s the various special birding events ECAS conducts: the famous Christmas Bird Count; the Fort Rock/ Christmas Valley raptor count, the Green Ridge raptor count, and other counts.

These are patterned after the Citizen Scientist observation methods, and used to observe population trends over the years.

To make the whole birding experience even better, ECAS holds a “Birder’s Night” the last Thursday of each month in the Bend Environmental Center.

There’s always a bird program, and before-during-and-after the meeting there’s always a discussion going on about who saw this-or-that bird where, and what was going on at the time.

Come on down to the Old Mill, the site of the historic Brooks-Scanlon sawmill, once the biggest pine sawmill in the whole wide world. Before, during or after birding, stop for an ice cream cone and take it with you as you search the banks of the Deschutes and revel in the joy of birding.

Papa’s Got A Brand New Hag

—FaceTime Hater Of course it’s what’s on the inside that really counts, which is why men’s magazines so often run glossy spreads of stout, good-hearted older women crocheting afghans for nursing home patients.

FaceTime should be renamed UglyfaceTime for what it does to a person’s features, and especially to a woman’s (in lumps, jowls, and eye baggery not apparent in photos). While the camera is said to add 10 pounds, FaceTime adds 10 miles of bad road. The good news: You look just like a movie star! The bad news: It’s the zombie Orson Welles.

Friends will remind you that your boyfriend loves you and tell you you’re being silly (read: shallow). Some will offer helpful suggestions, like “It’s all about the lighting!” They aren’t wrong. I suggest avoiding light entirely, like by FaceTiming from a dark closet. Another popular chant: “Wear concealer!” My recommendation: Le Burlap Bag Over Le Head.

Right now, countless readers are getting ready to email me to tell me I’m an idiot.

(Hold your fire!) First, male sexuality is highly visual—in a way female sexuality is not. And then there’s what psychologists call “the contrast effect”—how the attractiveness of someone or something changes, depending on the “neighborhood:” how attractive or unattractive the nearby alternatives are. So, you could be an easy 8.5 in Smalltownville and come to Hollywood–aka Mecca for every high school’s golden-blondiest cheerleader—and find yourself struggling to hang on to a 5.8.

The contrast effect even holds true for somebody we love. In research by evolutionary psychologists Douglas Kenrick and Steven Neuberg, when men in relationships were exposed to pictures of very attractive women, they perceived their partner as less attractive—and (eek) felt less satisfied with and less committed to her.

Obviously, looks aren’t all that matter.

But sexual attraction naturally wanes over time. Best not to help it along with a “just keep your chins up!” attitude about FaceTiming. This isn’t to say you should leave your boyfriend visually starved. You can keep him well-supplied with images of

*

These selfies could even be used for a “foreign correspondent” approach to FaceTime—keeping the camera on a still photo of yourself (like when a CNN reporter is on an audio-only connection from a tent outside of Jalalabad). This will allow you to focus on your boyfriend instead of on another man—one with the medical training to make your cavernous nasolabial folds look less like the place they’ll find Jimmy Hoffa, your dad’s coin collection, and three hikers who disappeared in 1976.

When The Gooing Gets Tough

When my boyfriend and I are on the phone, he won’t sign off with “I love you” if his guy friends are around. Meanwhile, these guys have met me, and most are in relationships. So what’s with his cool act?

I know he loves me. Why be embarrassed to say it publicly?

—Emotionally Honest

There are a lot of ways a man can show that he loves you. Does it really have to be “Hold on, guys, while I give my balls to my girlfriend!”?

Women often think it’s a bad sign if a man won’t go all “wuvvywoo poopielou” in front of his bros. This worry is understandable—because it’s no biggie (and actually kind of a status thing) for a woman to do that in front of the girls. But sex differences researchers Anne Campbell and Joyce Benenson point out that women— the caregivers of the species—evolved to bond through sharing vulnerabilities. This is how they show other women that they aren’t a threat. Men, however, evolved to be in a constant battle for dominance.

They succeed socially by displaying toughness, not giggling behind their hands like Japanese schoolgirls (but with facial hair and Hello Kitty wallet chains).

In other words, when you love a man, you show it by not demanding that his phone calls with you end in a social hanging. He’ll feel better, and you’ll ultimately respect him more. Sure, like other women, you may believe you want the ever mushyready “sensitive man”—until you start despising him for his compliance and dump him for someone a little more action hero.

Those guys are men of few words—words like “I’ll be back” and not “Yes, dear, I’ll be back with a box of super-plus extra-absorbency unscented.”

My boyfriend travels a lot, and when he’s away, he wants to video call over FaceTime. Well, I look absolutely hideous on FaceTime, and I don’t want to do it. And really, who doesn’t look scary on FaceTime? Megan Fox? Scarlett Johansson?

I get that he loves me and knows what I really look like, but I always feel depressed and self-conscious after I get off our video calls.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When Orville and

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The task of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly,” said Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Whether or not you’re a writer, Taurus, that is also your special task in the coming weeks. The riddle that has begun to captivate your imagination is not yet ripe enough for you to work on in earnest. It has not been defined with sufficient clarity. Luckily, you have the resources you need to research all the contingencies, and you have the acuity to come up with a set of empowering questions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The good news is that if you eat enormous amounts of chocolate, you will boost your memory. Science has proved it. The bad news is that in order to get the full effect of the memory enhancement, you would have to consume so much chocolate that you would get sick. I propose that we consider this scenario as a metaphor for what may be going on in your life. Is it possible you’re doing things that are healthy for you in one way but that diminish you in another? Or are you perhaps getting or doing too much of a good thing—going to unbalanced extremes as you pursue a worthy goal? Now is a favorable time to figure out if you’re engaged in such behavior, and to change it if you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When the young director Richard Lester got his big break, he took full advantage.

It happened in 1964, when the early Beatles asked him to do their first movie, “A Hard Day’s Night.” Lester’s innovative approach to the project propelled his career to a higher level that brought him many further opportunities. Writing of Lester’s readiness, critic Alexander Walker said, “No filmmaker. . .appeared more punctually when his hour struck.” That’s what I hope you will soon be doing in your own chosen field, Cancerian. Do you understand how important it will be to have impeccable timing? No procrastination or hemming and hawing, please. Be crisply proactive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As a young man, the poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) left his home in France and settled in Abyssinia, which these days is known as Ethiopia. “I sought voyages,” he wrote, “to disperse the enchantments that had colonized my mind.” You might want to consider a similar strategy in the coming weeks, Leo. From an astrological perspective, it’s going to be an excellent time both to wander free of your usual haunts and to disperse the enchantments that have colonized your mind. Why not find ways to synergize these two opportunities?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At one point in his life, author C. S. Lewis had a rude awakening as he took stock of the progress he thought he had been making. “I am appalled to see how much of the change I thought I had undergone lately was only imaginary,” he wrote. I want to make sure that something similar doesn’t happen to you, Virgo. You’re in the midst of what should be a Golden Age of Self-Transformation. Make sure you’re actually doing the work that you imagine you’re doing—and not just talking about it and thinking about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There are questions that you don’t ask because you’re afraid of the answers,” wrote Agatha Christie. I would add that there are also questions you don’t ask because you mistakenly think you already know the answers. And then there are questions you don’t ask because their answers would burst your beloved illusions, which you’d rather preserve. I’m here to urge you to risk posing all

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapy

these types of questions, Libra. I think you’re strong enough and smart enough, and in just the right ways, to deal constructively with the answers. I’m not saying you’ll be pleased with everything you find out. But you will ultimately be glad you finally made the inquiries.

JANE MEYERS HIATT

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you are enmeshed in a jumble that makes you squirm or if you are caught in a tangle that stifles your self-love, you have three choices. Here’s how Eckhart Tolle defines them: 1. Get out of the situation. 2. Transform the situation. 3. Completely accept the situation. Does that sound reasonable, Scorpio? I hope so, because the time has come to act. Don’t wait to make your decision.

Do it soon. After that, there will be no whining allowed. You can no longer indulge in excuses.

You must accept the consequences. On the bright side, imagine the new freedom and power you will have at your disposal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s a proposed experiment. Sidle up to a creature you’d love to be closer to, and softly sing the following lyrics: “Come with me, go with me. Burn with me, glow with me. Sleep with me, wake with me.” At this point, run three circles around the creature as you flap your arms like a birds’ wings. Then continue your singing: “Rise with me, fall with me. Work with me, play with me.

Pray with me, sin with me.” At this point, leap up into the air three times, unleashing a burst of laughter each time you hit the ground. Continue singing: “Let me get high with you. Laugh with you, cry with you. Make me your partner in crime.” At this point blow three kisses toward the creature, then run away. (P.S. The lyrics I’m quoting here were composed by songwriter Fran Landesman.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In getting energy from food, we humans have at our disposal over 50,000 edible plants. And yet we choose to concentrate on just a few.

Wheat, corn, rice, and potatoes make up twothirds of our diet, and 11 other staples comprise most of the rest. Let’s use this as a metaphor for the kind of behavior you should avoid in the coming weeks. I think it will be crucial for you to draw physical, emotional, and spiritual sustenance from a relatively wide variety of sources. There’s nothing wrong with your usual providers, but for now you need to expand your approach to getting the nurturing you need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “We teach each other how to live.” Poet Anne Michaels said that, and now I’m passing it on to you -- just in time for the phase of your cycle when acting like a curious student is your sacred duty and your best gift to yourself. I don’t necessarily mean that you should take a workshop or enroll in a school. Your task is to presume that everyone you meet and every encounter you have may bring you rich learning experiences. If you’re willing to go as far as I hope you will, even your dreams at night will be opportunities to get further educated. Even your vigils in front of the TV. Even your trips to the convenience store to buy ice cream.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her poem “Time,” Piscean poet Lia Purpura wonders about “not picking up a penny because it’s only a little luck.” Presumably she is referring to a moment when you’re walking down a street and you spy an almost-but-not-quite-worthless coin lying on the concrete. She theorizes that you may just leave it there. It adds next to nothing to your wealth, right? Which suggests that it also doesn’t have much value as a symbol of good fortune. But I urge you to reject this line of thought in the coming weeks, Pisces. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to capitalize on the smallest opportunities. There will be plenty of them, and they will add up.

Wilbur Wright were kids, their father gave them a toy helicopter powered by a rubber band.

The year was 1878. Twenty-five years later, the brothers became the first humans to sail above the earth in a flying machine. They testified that the toy helicopter had been a key inspiration as they worked to develop their pioneering invention. In the spirit of the Wright Brothers’ magic seed, Aries, I invite you to revive your connection to a seminal influence from your past. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to feed a dream that was foreshadowed in you a long time ago.

Inclusionary Zoning in Bozeman

Bozeman and Bend have some similarities and a few differences. Both cities are small, but Bozeman’s population, at 41,660, is about half of Bend’s, and the median household income in 2014 was $46,422.

That’s about 10 percent below the national average, which in 2014 was $51,939, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement. Bend’s median household income for the same year was $52,006. Another difference is that the median age for Bozeman residents is 27.5 years and Bend’s is 37.7 years.

There was opposition from the building community in Bozeman regarding the affordable housing program. Some builders cited concern that this would raise housing prices on other properties as builders pass on their costs for subsidized units to non-subsidized units. However, the policy

as approved is basically a set of voluntary incentives for the building industry to create affordable housing by lowering construction costs.

45 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 12 / March 24, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

L

ast November, an affordable housing program was adopted by the Bozeman Commissioners that included requirements for a percentage of housing units in new developments to be priced at levels considered affordable. The current median price of a home listed for sale in Bozeman, Mont., is $300,000.

In Bend, it’s $360,000, according to realtor.com, with a median closing price of $311,000.

The incentives include expedited building permit processes and relaxed lot size requirements for affordable housing starts.

The ordinance requires that 54 affordable homes be constructed and sold by December 2017, with 12 affordable to families making 70 percent of the median income and the rest for families at 90 percent of the median income level.

One builder is taking advantage of the relaxed requirements to develop smaller, cheaper lots, building 840 square ft. units priced at about $205,000. Whereas a typical single family home lot in Bozeman runs about $80,000, the smaller allowed lots of 4,500 square ft. cost $25-30,000. Furthermore, affordable housing has a three-day expedited permit review compared to the typical four to five weeks required for most permits. Being able to save a month between investing in the land and handing off the house spells leverage.

This concept of smaller and more affordable homes fits in nicely with the popularity of the tiny home movement, while also increasing density and creating a benefit to builders. SW

BEND’S PREMIERE DOWNTOWN DISPENSARY

O

ne of the many strange consequences of America’s paradoxical cannabis laws is that there are currently no pesticides specifically labeled for use on cannabis crops. Most cannabis consumers are like most consumers of other food products in that they prefer to consume cannabis that has not been treated with pesticides. That’s because pesticides have been linked to a variety of serious and deadly diseases, and experts consider pesticides to be among the most dangerous chemicals to which humans are exposed.

Many consumers think that the “organic” label on a food or cannabis product means that the product was grown without the use of pesticides. However, this is not true and organic foods are not necessarily pesticide-free.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) is responsible for regulating pesticides used on crops, and under Oregon law, cannabis is a crop. ODA describes the current health and safety predicament for cannabis crops very aptly and succinctly: “Health and safety impacts on people who smoke and/or consume marijuana and/or marijuana products from plants treated with pesticides have not been evaluated.

Health and safety impacts to workers in marijuana grow operations have also not been evaluated.”

There is plenty of evidence that Oregonians have consumed cannabis products that include illegally-applied pesticides.

Last year, The Oregonian purchased cannabis that had passed state-mandated pesticide tests and then had the products tested by independent labs. Several samples included chemicals that the federal government says may cause cancer. One sample included a common household roach killer. Other samples included pesticide levels so high that the testing chemist concluded that the plant had

been “soaked” in pesticide. The problem is particularly bad with concentrates, which concentrate pesticides in addition to THC. In response, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) enacted new testing rules for cannabis. The rules require testing for 60 pesticides, but experts say that the rules may not be effectively addressing the problem.

Alex Hoggan, owner of a cannabis testing lab in Milwaukie, told The Oregonian that he has been fielding calls from growers who are trying to find pesticides that are not on the testing list.

Davis Farrer, a public health toxicologist at OHA involved with creating the testing rules, said that some of the acceptable pesticide levels set by the rules are higher than those allowed for food products.

In January, ODA created a list of 257 pesticide products to help guide cannabis growers “in distinguishing those pesticide products with labels that do not legally prohibit use on cannabis from those that clearly do not allow use.”

In enforcing pesticide laws, ODA’s biggest weapon may be product recalls. Last month, ODA ordered retailers to stop selling the pesticide product Guardian, which is used by cannabis growers. Guardian’s label says that the product is 100 percent natural, but an ODA investigation found that it contained the pesticide chemical “abamectin,” a neurotoxin. ODA is asking growers who may have purchased the pesticide product to refrain from using it.

ODA maintains a guide list of pesticide products for growers on its cannabis and pesticides webpage. Home growing is another consumer option to avoid pesticides entirely. SW
