OPINION Letters

The real problem is not the people. People are invisible and have very little impact when they are in their home, be it a house, an apartment, a duplex unit or a dorm room. But, what is typically idealistic and unrealistic is to ignore the impact of their vehicles. You can wish and hope that the majority will be on foot or bicycle, in a bus or an Uber, but it will be a long time before they are not, as a majority, in their cars. The City requires one parking space per single room residence, and two per each multi bedroom structure. I’m a homeowner on the west side, and a partner in two duplexes on the east. The street on which I live is mostly devoid of cars parked in the street. The homeowners keep them in their garages. One block away in the same neighborhood is an identical street except for the fact that the single-family homes are mostly rentals. It is lined with cars in the street pretty much at all times. Why? Because the garages are full of stuff, not cars. Some have two car garages with three cars or more. This is compounded in areas of apartments and duplexes. In some cases a 3 bedroom yields three cars. You can legally put eight people (students?) in a four-bedroom house. That could be up to eight cars. Visitors add more. Just before writing this, I drove to the block where my rentals are located. It is a square block with 32 or so duplex units on it including both sides of all four sides. There were 45 cars parked in the street and I did not count the cars in the driveways. So you can hate that and wish it wasn’t so, but it’s not going to change for a long time. And as the college grows, it is going to get really ugly with people parking in neighborhoods blocks from the campus. It’s really the core of the problem. —Doug Meyer

IN RESPONSE TO DAISY RYDER (LETTERS) 3/15 Ah, Bend dog owners and their pets. As an avid trail runner they’re easy to spot: Big, loud, smelly and yapping, they lick themselves and urinate all over. And then there are the dogs that have to put up with them. Used as photo props by the bearded puffy jacket army of Tinder clones (“love hiking, world travel, anything outdoors...”), these poor dogs are just status symbols caught in the middle of this superficial online dating trend. Maybe Daisy should put down the pellet gun and pick up a shovel and clean up after the “responsible dog owners” who are too busy taking selfies and making out with “Bear” to notice the steaming pile he just dropped. BTW, I’ve yet to see anything left behind by a cat around Bend, so this silly dogs vs cats thing - I call BS!! —Leeanna Kligis

SADDLE UP. THE LEGEND OF DAISY RYDER First off, I hope some hombre named Daisy Ryder didn’t pull a fast one on a couple of tenderfoots over at The Source. A Daisy Red Ryder is an old model of B.B. gun. If he did, why... why, that would just be lower than a snake’s belly! Bless your hearts. Old Daisy’s feathers got ruffled from months of reading about cats so now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their backyard oases? Daisy’s kind is legendary in these parts. You see, Daisy is likely a man. A man with issues. Daisy doesn’t like fat orange cats, so his reaction is to shoot them (Curiously, he probably voted for the fattest orange cat of them all in 2016). Angry old white man with issues. Annie, I mean Daisy get your gun! Instead of dealing with an animal problem like a reasonable man, Daisy asks other Disgusted and Fed-Up People to join him in aiming for the eyes. Don’t call animal control, that’s big government. Let’s form a posse! Like John Wayne! Revered by angry white males, Fox News copperheads and Tea Partiers alike as one of the greatest heroes in US history, the Duke, ever the birder, would never let a cat stand between him and a sweet songbird without a gun fight. How many women do you know who would share their desire to shoot a cat in the eye? Not on the west side anyways. Nope, not ladylike. And I recognize the brand. Sure as shootin’ he wandered off the angry old man ranch. How many women do you know who reach for their trusty pellet guns at the sight of a cat, let alone own a pellet gun? Exactly. And a Daisy Ryder? (Ok, maybe June

Lockhart on the set of Lassie in 1954. But she would’ve used it to dig out Timmy who took the real rifle into the abandoned mine that just collapsed. Thanks Lassie, good girl!) Speaking of girl power, so we have an old coot passing as Daisy and hoping to lead a band of vigilantes on a cat-le drive (sorry) no doubt riding sidesaddle into the high desert sunset. Then sitting around the campfire playing the dog whistle and trading cat killing stories with the boys. Head um up! Move ‘em out! Cowpoke, you have till sundown to check yourself. Daisy, you’re no Ryder. You’re a Duke. A man’s man. Times have changed. You don’t need to hide behind an alias. It’s ok to be the cowboy or cowgirl of your dreams, Bend accepts you the way you are. Just put down the gun Daisy. It’s only a cat. Try this: maybe slip into some leather chaps, open a cold sarsaparilla and watch Brokeback Mountain again. And leave the cat wrangling to the professionals. Now how’s about you let Daisy Ryder set a spell and try Daisy Duke on for size. Nice fit huh partner? Giddy up go girl! —Gabrielle Hayes

OPINION

From reports this fall, we know that 21 states’ voting systems were targeted by Russian hackers during the 2016 election. Meanwhile, federal government officials say there’s no one in charge of mandating basic election security nationwide. So who does that burden fall to? By default, to the counties and the states that handle the

view, is not an adequate response. Our country needs baseline, mandatory, federal election security standards and what I’m talking about here are paper ballots and post-election, risk-limiting audits.” We believe nationwide paper balloting— indeed, a move back to more tangible, verifiable methods of handling elections, would be a benefit to our democracy, and we applaud Wyden for his efforts. To be clear, Oregon, which uses a paper vote-by-mail system, is not one of the states whose voter system was targeted by the Russian hacking operation, according to a

votes. That should scare you. “Americans don’t expect states, much less county officials, to fight America’s wars,” Wyden said in a March 21 statement. “The Russians have attacked our election infrastructure and leaving our defenses to states and local entities, in my

statement issued by Secretary of State Dennis Richardson Feb. 27. “I am confident that Oregon’s voting system is a national leader in cybersecurity and protection from malicious outside intrusions,” Richardson wrote. The steps Oregon takes to protect voter data

Paper ballots and dumb phones are not dead—and shouldn’t be

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 29, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

his week, a Millennial in our office said he’d been thinking about going back to a “dumb phone.” We laughed. An offhand, humorous comment, yes, but one that speaks to a change afoot. Millennials, those early adopters of technology, those digital natives who have grown up not knowing a world without the Internet, are now able to see the writing on the wall about the drawbacks of the technology that many of us have embraced. When technology means a breach of the public trust and a threat to democracy, it’s time for pause. Those breaches can come in the form of “quizzes,” masked as personality tests on Facebook, used, according to The New York Times, by Cambridge Analytica to glean valuable data intended to swing the 2016 presidential election. Those breaches also have the potential to swing our elections, by actually manipulating votes. Last week, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-OR, took part in a hearing in the Senate Intelligence Committee on election security. In it, Wyden asked Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen whether the federal government had the “authority to mandate basic cyber security in the electronic voting machines used in this country.” Nielsen said no—and confirmed that no other federal agency has that authority, either. Some overarching federal agency should. In the United States, 43 percent of voters use voting machines to cast their votes, Wyden stated, adding that five states have no paper trail for those votes. Researchers have found that voting machines, Wyden said, have “serious security flaws, including back doors.” He also stated that some of the largest manufacturers of these voting machines have refused to answer questions about the security of their machines.

include backing up the state’s voter registration database each day and keeping breach detection devices in place. But note that it’s Oregon statutes that stand to protect voter data—not federal policies or agencies. “A federally accredited voting system test laboratory checks for vulnerabilities and provides our Elections Division with a report that helps us perform our own analysis to ensure systems are secure before certifying them,” Richardson wrote. “Once these certified machines are purchased by the counties, they are never connected to the internet and are physically secured at all times.” Meanwhile, an audit takes place before and after every election, also as required by state law. Still, as Richardson admitted, “We are in the middle of an information war.” While Oregon may have more processes and protections in place to ensure the votes you make are the votes that are counted, statements about “information wars” are scary. Oregon may be at the vanguard of voting security—but that is a standard that takes continued diligence to maintain, and that’s not the case elsewhere. If we’ve learned anything about the nation in the past year and a half, it’s that sticking our heads in the sand and pretending it’s OK to ignore what’s outside our own backyards is dangerous territory. We are in an information war, and as both Wyden and that Millennial among us has intuited, part of the solution may lie in a shift in society—not in a backward direction, but in a direction that acknowledges the limitations and potential dangers of widely adopting technology too quickly and too comprehensively, without proper oversight. Paper ballots and dumb phones are not dead—and shouldn’t be. Paper ballots allow elections officials to tally votes in a way less easy to be manipulated by cyberhackers from across the Atlantic. And dumb phones allow us the constant communication we crave, without the threat of feeding a beast of personal data that can be used against our democracy. SW

Confronting the Death Cult 7

by Brandon Soderberg

Anything this big can’t be that good, you’d like to think.

ast year’s Women’s March was rightfully criticized for blinding whiteness and a recalcitrant approach to intersectionality, but after a million or so people again appeared out in protest for last weekend’s March For Our Lives in Washington, D.C., it’s apparent that the 2017 march set the Trump-era precedent for large protest, and the importance of that is incalculable. Parkland’s student activists, a stunning example of the “don’t mourn, organize” ethos, have their crap together when it comes to what to say about guns in this country, while Democrats five times their age leading the so-called #resistance just don’t and never will. The march called attention to school shootings and the gun lobby and then it kept on pivoting to include any and all victims of gun violence and acknowledging bias, privilege and racial disparity along the way. It took the Women’s March’s homogeneity and tilted it toward intersectionality. At its core, it was an anti-National Rifle Association parade (wisely, because protest should offer hope always, it was cast as The March For Our Lives) and that’s a good thing because the NRA is a death cult and has nothing useful or sincere to say about gun rights. If an undercover video produced by Channel 4 exposed NRA big wigs meeting in the molten core of the planet, sacrificing animals and fellating AR-15s, would you really be surprised? One of the million or so marchers in Washington, D.C., on Saturday was Nora Ludden. She knows firsthand how long the gun access and gun control debate has circled the drain. She’s a survivor of the 1992 Simon’s Rock shooting, in which 18-year-old Wayne Lo, a student at Simon’s Rock College of Bard

in Massachusetts, murdered two people on campus and wounded four after purchasing a semi-automatic rifle at a sporting goods store. “This terrible thing has been going on for a very long time, I was a teenager myself when there was a shooting at my school,” Ludden said. “The shooter was able to get a gun very easily with no waiting period or background check or anything.” Ludden is one of many Simon’s Rock alumni who signed a petition demanding “more access to mental health services and less access to weapons,” following the Newtown, Conn., shooting. The Newtown shooting happened exactly 20 years after the Simon’s Rock shooting— Dec. 14, 2012 and Dec. 14, 1992. “Now, you see this continue for decades,” Ludden said. “To see my kids still dealing with the same thing I did is just really heartbreaking.” You’ve surely seen the march’s speeches by now, especially from Parkland’s David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez, but don’t forget about Edna Chavez. The 17-year-old South Central Los Angeles activist paid tribute to her brother, Ricardo, who was shot and killed, culture-jammed much of the boring big march bullshit with personal-is-political poetry, and pretty much made it clear how school shootings and the kinds of gun violence she has endured—and thousands of others have, in cities such as Baltimore or Chicago—intertwine. “You hear a ‘pop,’ thinking they were fireworks; they weren’t—you see melanin on your brother’s skin turned grey. Ricardo was his name, can ya’ll say it with me?” Chavez asked. Later, Chavez challenged “solutions” such as more police in schools or more police in general. “Zero tolerance policies do not work,” Chavez said. “They make us feel like criminals.” The Guardian recently published “Our manifesto to fix America’s gun laws,” written by the staff of the Marjory

Stoneman Douglas High School newspaper and among the demands was one to “Increase funding for school security,” and here was Chavez, calling “B.S.” on it. The lesson: Always listen to people younger than you are, even when you think they’re wrong—especially when you think they’re wrong. As very young people act very adult and organize, a whole bunch of adults in power act like children, especially in the White House and all around it. Trump’s revolving-door administration welcomes warmongering mustache man, John Bolton. What was Bolton doing when he was the age of most of the Parkland students, you may wonder? He ran the Students for Barry Goldwater Campaign at the very bougie private school he attended outside of Baltimore. Before South Side Chicago rapper Vic Mensa performed at the March For Our Lives, he mentioned Sacramento’s Stephon Clark, shot 20 times by police in his own backyard on March 18, holding a cell phone which cops claim they thought was a gun (they also muted their body cameras during the deadly encounter), and Decynthia Clements, from Elgin, not far from Chicago, who was shot and killed after an extended chase with the police wherein she also lunged at cops with a steak knife and set the inside of her car on fire. An “imperfect” victim of police violence, but a victim nonetheless. Police have killed almost 300 people this year. Clark, whose death it does not seem will go away quietly, was shot and killed on March 18—there have been nearly 30 police shootings since then. The lesson: Cops are guns—instrumentalized, surveilling, means of destruction.

HEALTHY ADVENTURES AWAIT!

Tech firms are made in Central Oregon, too By Chris Miller

end may be considered Beer Town, USA, but startup tech firms are cropping up at a rapid rate, helped in part by the annual Bend Venture Conference and the new Oregon State University-Cascades’ Innovation Co-Lab. The BVC has an annual contest in three categories: The Growth State, in which companies generally have a proven concept, have made some money and are prepared to scale their business quickly with an investment. The finalists in this category could garner $250,000 or more, according to the BVC website. In the Early Stage category, companies typically have an idea that’s close to “proof of concept,” are pre- or very early revenue and are testing the product in the market. The winner could collect $17,500 cash, courtesy of BendBroadband Business, according to BVC. The third and final category is Social Impact. These companies are for-profit businesses that are still evolving their business, but may or may not have made any money yet. According to BVC’s website, “they have a social and or environmental mission integrated into their business model, such that is a core competency and not an ‘add on.’” InvestiPro InvestiPro won $150,000 in 2017 for the BVC’s Business Oregon Award. The company is a cloud-based workplace human resources investigation firm born in 2015. The products were on the market in August 2016, according to founder Dana Barbato. Barbato said she was the lone employee until 2017 but has since taken on a co-founder/senior vice president of sales and two more full-time employees. She said Central Oregon has many positives for starting a business and is very supportive of startups. “As long as you are willing to do the legwork, there is training, support and funding available,” Barbato said. “I would say the only negative is that the tech industry is growing more quickly in the area than the population of workers, so at times it can be difficult to find employees, but I have been very lucky in that area.” Food4All Kami Semick started Food4All in 2016, working with farmers in Central Oregon to provide free technology to small food processors so they can sell direct to the community through

multiple sales channels. Currently, Semick employs three part-time people besides herself. Her company has farmers as far east as Florida, and as far west as Okinawa, Japan. “Using Food4All, farmers, ranchers and food artisans can receive and manage online orders through their own website and Facebook page,” Semick said. “And in person through a mobile point-of-sale. Buyers seeking local food can also find and buy direct from these local producers through Food4All’s online marketplace where geolocation matches them to local sellers.” Semick echoed Barbato’s sentiment about the supportive nature of getting her business off the ground in Central Oregon. “We’ve been able to sharpen our business strategy with input from the local entrepreneur community,” she said. “We have also found that those in the local food ecosystem have been very supportive of our efforts.” According to its website, the Innovation Lab at OSU-Cascades provides real-world learning to help tech companies in Central Oregon, giving student interns experience by partnering with the companies who use the Co-Lab. On March 26, organizers held a Funding Bootcamp at the Co-Lab, providing early-stage companies an overview of investment, grants, loans and alternative funding sources. LeadMethod LeadMethod was another 2017 winner at BVC, receiving nearly $500,000 in investment dollars. According to a story on the BVC website, CEO Justin Johnson said LeadMethod built the world’s first channel revenue optimization software company. He said the winnings will primarily go to hiring employees to drive their “channel referral” sales strategy. In that BVC story, Johnson offered some advice for companies looking for funding: don’t think about raising outside funding unless you’re very serious about building a fast-growing company with the goal of an exit in five to seven years—and don’t waste time trying to raise money for a product that hasn’t been validated yet. For those looking to get into the tech industry in Central Oregon, Barbato had this to say: “The earlier you get integrated into the business community the better. Get out and attend the many business functions and meet the key players,” she said. “I have been surprised how willing people are to talk with me and share their knowledge.” “Network to create relationships with not only the startup community, but with players in your ecosystem here in Central Oregon,” Semick said. “There are many people and businesses here that have connections beyond the region.” “The more we work together in building a great tech community in Central Oregon, the more successful we will all be,” Barbato said.

Prioritizing mental health care for firefighers, cops and first responders By Keely Damara

efore I can even get the words out, the cheerful yogi and owner of Indigo Yoga in Bend already seems to know what I’m going to ask her. “Were they resistant in the beginning? Oh my goodness, oh yes,” says Jeannie Laslo Douglas, laughing. In 2014, she helped organize what she calls a “surprise attack” on the Bend Police Department. While 60 or so officers were in a tactical skills training session, Douglas and her assistants showed up to lead the unsuspecting cops in a yoga lesson. “You should have seen the look on some of their faces,” said Douglas. “Just like, what? We’re doing... what did you say?”

“What about not waiting for PTSD to set in, not waiting for a significant mental illness to set in, what if we started to get ahead of that and what would that look like?” Though police were suspicious at first, Douglas says she received such wonderful feedback from those first few classes that she and Lt. Brian Beekman of the Bend Police Department launched a pilot program for on-the-job yoga training. Soon after, Douglas and three other yogis were teaching noontime yoga four times a week for patrol officers. The program is now nearly four years old and going strong. It started with a routine of light stretches and poses to help ease pain in many of the problem areas identified by the officers—and then Douglas threw meditation into the mix. Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training for police officers and first responders is the new frontier—the idea being that practicing mindfulness can decrease stress, help regulate emotions and contribute to better overall mental health. A 2012 study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found the suicide rate among

those in protective services (including firefighters and police) was 30.5 per 100,000—ranking sixth in a study of 30 occupational groups in 17 states. “I’ve been here for about 40 years and in those 40 years, four individuals associated with this organization have taken their lives,” said Dave Howe, battalion chief of administration of the Bend Fire Department. “So we’ve known for a long time that we’ve needed something.” The suicide rate for police officers is four times higher than that of firefighters, according to the National Association of Mental Illness’ website. In addition, the percentage of officers experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is between 7 and 19 percent, compared to 3.5 percent of the general population. “Certainly someone who’s not mentally healthy is going to have a very hard time serving the community,” said Beekman. “We started to think about more of a proactive response to mental health. What about not waiting for PTSD to set in, not waiting for a significant mental illness to set in, what if we started to get ahead of that and what would that look like?” In 2015, Beekman worked with members of Bend Fire to draft a proposal for a new position for an in-house mental health counselor that would act as an educational resource for both departments. The idea was to bring someone in who would not only build awareness about mental health issues, but would also destigmatize asking for help. They brought in Andrew Barram, a doctor of psychology and behavioral health specialist in Bend, to help brainstorm what the new position would look like—and, most importantly, how they would be able to get officers and firefighters to trust the person who filled the role. Barram suggested that no counseling records be kept and that the position be completely separate from any pre-employment or fit-for-duty evaluations. In the process of writing the job

description, Barram decided to remove himself from the committee so that he could apply for the job himself. According to Brandon Ladd, chair of the behavioral health program at the Bend Fire Department, Barram was the right fit for the culture at the station. “He can go have a beer with us, he can go on a mountain bike or motorcycle ride with us—have coffee with us,” said Ladd. “He just feels like one of the dudes and it’s not like this weird person that people kind of hide from.” Changing the language around mental health So—how do you sell mindfulness to a bunch of firefighters and police officers? “Mindfulness sounds and looks like one of the softer, squishy, crystals, woowoo mental health things,” Barram said. “And then I was asked to try to sell it to the community that is probably the most resistant to that. “Relative to those factors, I think we’re doing a great job.” Part of the effort includes changing some of the language associated with the practice of mindfulness and mental health, such as titling one of his talks

about mindfulness, “Tactical Awareness,” or using the term “mental injury” instead of mental illness. “I would say in general the idea is changing the culture to be more accepting of mental health issues—mental illness as an injury,” said Barram. “Giving it the same respect—to treat it, address it and return to work from it—as we have for years with all sorts of other physical injuries.” Barram, now two and a half years into a five-year contract with the Bend police and fire departments, is interested in seeing how his position will grow as staff members grow more comfortable with talking about mental health issues. He predicts the internal peer support teams will likely take over some of the work he’s been doing, such as presentations on mindfulness, sleep studies and PTSD, but he still sees space for his role beyond the five-year contract. “We’re always encountering new calls and new stressors,” said Barram. “Perhaps the position evolves into something new. I’m not sure what that might look like. I hope we go beyond the five [years].” SW

Q&A With Erik Kancler

Local lobbyist among those speaking at TEDxBend by Keely Damara So I ended up directing that group from 2006 to 2010. And that’s what got me more directly into politics. SW: Without spoiling it, can you give us a taste of your TEDx talk? EK: ...You can do a lot of valuable stuff as a lobbyist but, for the most part, other people have no idea what a lobbyist is. A lot of people think they know what lobbyists are and those are not very favorable impressions for the most part. You know, I don’t know what things are like in D.C., I work in Oregon—so I can’t comment on that. But I know where I work, most of us are really dedicated and work in, what we believe, to be a public interest oriented fashion. I don’t want to change people’s impressions about who lobbyists are, but I’d like to get them to think more about what we can be and about how all of us can help create a more collaborative environment that better represents the public interests. Unsurprisingly, there is money in politics. There’s a significant amount of money in politics. So if you’re not playing that game, you’ve got to do everything else well. I’m going to engage the audience through the thing that collectively we can do to improve our political process... The absurd tagline would be, “How Lobbyists Can Change the World,” or something ridiculous sounding like that—and that’s an overstatement. But we have more of a role to play and can play more of a role than I think people realize—and desire to do that. ~ If you’re interested in learning more about the other speakers who will be presenting at TEDxBend on Saturday, March 31, visit tedxbend.com.

Need a jolt of inspiration? TEDxBend, a local spinoff of the popular TED talk conferences worldwide, is happening this Saturday at Bend Senior High School. The event will feature 16 talks, presentations and performances, each under 18 minutes, on topics ranging from keeping up with emerging tech to solutions to antibiotic resistance. The Source spoke to these presenters for a preview. Dr. Ravina Kullar Infectious Diseases/Vaccines Research Scientific Director of Merck Research Labs

“… What got me into specializing in infectious disease research was really seeing why resistance is such an issue. There was a specific patient that actually ended up passing away. He was very young, 27 years old, and he had a surgery and he did not survive—he passed away from having a resistant organism in his body that just consumed him. I think that really made me realize how serious antibiotic resistance is and my main focus of the talk is not painting the picture of doom, but more of what we can all do in everyday life to be a part of the solution.” Christina “CK” Kerley Faculty member at Rutgers Business School teaching next gen technology

“Most of the stuff I talk about are the major trends and a lot of things I talk about, which is one thing I’ll be talking about at TED, is hitting on a lot of misconceptions and a lot of news that might be bending one way, but is not giving a true view of what we’re dealing with. So that is why my talk on the robots is called “Humanity is the Killer App” because it’s really how robots are igniting a truly human revolution. But we’re all so excited about the tech that we’re forgetting about who the tech really helps.”

rik Kancler is a lobbyist—and he doesn’t care who knows it. In fact, he wants you to know that “lobbyist” isn’t a dirty word. Kancler, a public interest lobbyist, owns Kancler Consulting LLC in Bend. He grew up in northern California, where he attended UC Santa Barbara and earned a master’s degree in atmospheric science. He would later work as an investigative journalist, writing for Mother Jones (and even a stint at The Source Weekly). “Even when I was a little kid, I wanted to be a meteorologist. I’d build these rain gauges and anemometers and various things—and I’d always be recording. I had little books on the weather,” said Kancler. “Climate was such an important issue and I wanted to contribute.” Kancler thought about going for a PhD, but the job prospects didn’t seem to be popping— and he felt that the work he could be doing as a climate scientist wouldn’t have the same impact as working in a position directly affecting public policy. “I thought, five years later I’m going to be 30-something, I’ll be barely employable—God knows where— doing something that nobody may end up caring about, honestly,” said Kancler. “I thought, really I want to do something that matters.” It started with freelance journalism, where he was able to share important stories about the environment with the public in a concise and direct medium. SW: How does your nonprofit and journalism experience play into your current job as a lobbyist?  EK: It’s funny how one thing blends into the next. It’s not necessarily in the way that you’d expect, but I moved here and I got a job as a journalist for The Source Weekly. I was a staff reporter for a year or so. In the process, I was able to interview all kinds of people throughout the community. And one of the guys I interviewed on a couple of pieces was Paul Dewey who founded Central Oregon LandWatch… So when I got to the point of figuring out what was next in Bend for me, LandWatch was looking for an executive director.

Each and every day, the creative, ambitious and industrious among us are crafting products that enhance our lives and showcase what Central Oregonians are capable of. Look above for a reminder about how the works of Central Oregonians can be found in every room of your home—and your gear-age, too. From furniture makers with their signature “mountain modern” styles, to paddle board makers encouraging you to seek your next adventure, to those adorning your bodies and hearths with locally-sourced creations, we’re proud to reserve much of this issue for highlighting the people and things Made In Central Oregon.

FREE RANGE EQUIPMENT

Durable backpacks with an artistic touch, made in a Bend garage By Anne Pick Loving locally-made products is an ethos plenty of people in Central Oregon can get behind—but when those products are made from materials cast off by other locally-made products, it’s like Local Love, squared. Laura Nolan, also the artisan behind Tularoo Soaps, recently launched Branch + Barrel, a Bend-based jewelry company that uses wood sourced from reclaimed oak barrels from local wineries, distilleries and craft breweries. Many of the pieces still bear welcome stains from the barrels; a slightly red tint from a wine barrel, a dark char from a bourbon barrel. In addition, Nolan uses other local woods, such as juniper, to craft her pieces. With each piece wrapped in hand-forged metals, it should be obvious that each piece is truly unique. Nolan says she’s had a strong response from the community—especially when her pieces are placed in distilleries or wineries. “We’re definitely… tying it into the drinks industry, and the wine industry, because we’ve got not just the wine barrels, but grape vines that you can cut,” Nolan said. For the future, Nolan and her husband, Toby, who assists with marketing and logistics, hope to create lines for specific distilleries and wineries, with materials made from one location’s own barrels.

CHIVAZ SOCKS

Chivaz Wear makes socks that 1 rock

By Chris Miller Chivaz Wear founder Matthew Gilman said he got started in the biz because back in 2006, no one was making quality tall socks that lasted a long time and didn’t fall down around your ankles. Chivaz shipped its first pair of socks in 2012. He named the business after having a run-in with a goat named Chiva who was standing on a surfboard. “I was inspired by her originality, surefootedness,

While attending Montana State University, Tosch Roy had a ski mountaineering race coming up and didn’t have a backpack for it. He had done some sewing before, so figured he’d give making a backpack a shot. “It was crappy, but gave me hope,” Roy says. “A bunch of friends wanted one. It’s more of a hobby turned business. There are a lot of packs out there, generally purposed, made in Asia, lots of bells and whistles that break. I was frustrated with the options. I wanted something clean, durable, that lasts a long time, good for specific activities. I just wanted to have one pack that’s really good at what it does, so I moved into this unfulfilled niche.” For the first five years, sale of the packs by Roy’s company, Free Range Equipment, trickled along. Recently, Roy started working with local artists to design the new canvas packs sold by Free Range Equipment. “It’s definitely been a game changer,” Roy says. “Working with all of these artists to promote it has helped, as well. Getting to know the artists, it feels like more of a community project now.” All of the packs are made in Bend, in a shop in Roy’s father’s garage. A friend of Roy’s does all the production sewing, while he still does the pack design, the prototyping and everything else. “I don’t really know if I could have done it in another town. It helps growing up here. There’s that aspect of it, the community. It’s also a good town to start an outdoor product company. The biggest take away is how big the support network is, for both a startup in general and an outdoor startup.”

Just a few months ago, sisters-in-law Allison Schultz and Julie Connell began making gorgeous bouquets of juniper, sage and other foraged materials, which, while beautiful, are also intended to ultimately be burned in a fire pit or fireplace. ‘Scuse me while I get all punny here, but it’s safe to say this new Central Oregon business has taken off like wildfire. Connell, a mother of two young children and a creative professional, had spent her January birthday wandering the wilds of Central Oregon, leisurely gathering materials that would become the first “wildcrafted fire fuel” bouquet. She quickly enlisted the help of Schultz, who has a regular gig as a floral designer through Heirloom Floral Design, to help the idea bloom. By Valentine’s Day, the two had a fully-formed business idea. Shortly after, their bouquets were already in Lululemon, Barre3 and Celadon Spa. How’s that for a small C.O. business quickly igniting?! Schultz and Connell are conscious to source materials responsibly, obtaining public lands permits as needed. In addition, the pair donates a portion of proceeds to organizations protecting the land, including the Oregon Natural Desert Association. “In order for a business like us to have legs, it has to mean something. It has to have some depth to it and so giving back to organizations that champion the causes we love is really, really important,” Schultz said. ConLoCommon.com

flexibility and scruffiness,” he said. “She seemed like a great example of the feeling that I wanted to feel when wearing a pair of Chivaz.” Gilman and his wife moved to Central Oregon in 2015 after staying at a bed and breakfast in Redmond. Gilman said they wanted out of the rat race of the Bay Area and haven’t looked back. “Both the Bend and Redmond communities have been incredible and super supportive,” he said. About the benefits of running a biz in Central Oregon: “…people, support, views, brews and endless opportunities to get out there and sell my product,” Gilman said.

WILD ROOTS VODKA

Fresh takes on fun vodkas By Keely Damara

78 For the last 20 years, Laird Hamilton has been perfecting his private recipe to optimize coffee. About two years ago, he and Paul Hodge got together to come up with Sisters-based Laird Superfood, to give back to the community by building a dynamic business in Central Oregon, said Luan Pham, the company’s chief revenue and marking officer. “Central Oregon’s active lifestyle perfectly matches Laird Superfood’s brand ethos of optimal performance [and] healthy living,” Pham said. About running a biz in Central Oregon: “Many of our business channels—grocery, resort, restaurant, cafe, gyms, big box—are found in Sisters and Bend,” Pham said. “This allows us to learn complex business categories on our home turf. These learnings have helped us tremendously when [we] scale our reach beyond Oregon.” On the flip side: Extreme weather limits shipping, and the lack of an international airport creates a minimum of two flights to key markets, Pham said. Pham said Laird Superfood operates under the axiom, “to grow our business locally then conquer globally.” lairdsuperfood.com

Nick Beasley, founder of Cascade Street Distillery, reconnected with Chris Joseph, founder of Wild Roots Vodka, in college, after hearing that Joseph was launching his own line of spirits. Beasley started working for Joseph at Wild Roots, which specializes in fruit-infused vodkas, but soon after branched out to create unflavored spirits under the name Cascade Street Distillery. The pair share the same collaborative production space in Sisters, creating craft premium spirits packing a Central Oregon punch. Wild Roots vodkas hit the shelves in July 2013 after Joseph saw a lack of flavor-infused vodkas, with natural ingredients, locally and across the commercial market. He saw an opportunity to create naturally flavored vodkas with Pacific Northwest fruits and berries without all the artificial flavors and chemicals. Wild Roots just released a huckleberry vodka in January and an Oregon peach flavor will be available before the end of the year. Cascade Street Distillery has a small lineup of craft spirits, all tried and true to Central Oregon. Their Broken Top Bourbon, North Sister Vodka and South Sister Gin are all emblazoned with scenic Central Oregon views. The gin, arguably the most distinctive of the lot, bottles the essence of Central Oregon with ponderosa pine pods (unique to their recipe), juniper and desert sage— all handpicked within 5 miles of Sisters. wildrootsvodka.com cascadestreetdistillery.com

Kentucky native Trae Gaddis started building furniture from found wood four years ago, after he and his wife Brittany found out they had a child on the way. They’d previously sold everything and were traveling around in a motorhome. Brittany started posting items up for sale and their business took off from there. Two years ago, the Gaddis’ moved to Central Oregon and Trae continued building furniture. Also a welder, many of his pieces incorporate wood and steel

Dog Pack Collars was born in Central Oregon two years ago after Megan Griffin moved to Bend with her husband and two adopted dogs, Holly and Darrow. Griffin says she loves being a dog mom—and likes to dote on her pups by creating them matching accessories. Having a hard time finding collars that were cute and durable, Griffin took it upon herself to make her own. She sells collars, leashes, bandanas, bow ties and fabric flowers in various patterns and colors on her website. Her next accessory? Matching doggy waste bag carriers. Kind of adorable, right? If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for in her virtual shop, Griffin does custom orders. A recent customer requested a collar with a dinosaur pattern to match her doggo’s favorite toy—a stuffed animal dino. Awww.

for a mountain modern vibe. “It’s a lot harder than I thought it was going to be,” Gaddis says of starting and running a business in Central Oregon. “Back home, I was able to pick up projects from friends and family. Here, we don’t really know anybody. My wife’s marketing skills have come in handy here.” Gaddis has started to develop a following thanks to his beautiful, hand-crafted work and the wonders of Instagram (@scavengerwoodworks). “I’d say the style people are after out here is more my niche than the style of work back home. More ‘mountain modern’ here, whereas it was more ‘farmhouse style’ there. The work here pushes me further in the direction that I want to go,” Gaddis says. Up next? Gaddis dreams of having a storefront in downtown Bend with a few employees to help him build the furniture. In addition to a storefront, Gaddis hopes to build their online business.

Electric Art

Adam Mendel creates solid body electric ukuleles with his company Riverbend Instruments

lenty of big names and longtime residents come to mind when thinking about musical instruments made in Central Oregon. Usually though, those people build guitars. With that, Adam Mendel saw a niche in the market waiting to be filled: the electric ukulele. Mendel, a huge fan of Leo Fender, the man behind Fender electric guitars, saw a need for musicians and wanted to do the same thing for the ukulele that Fender did for the guitar. “There are hundreds of incredible luthiers that can make acoustic ukuleles, but very few are doing electric,” Mendel says. “I thought it was a great time to give it a new voice.” Mendel fell in love with the instrument after watching ukulele virtuoso and composer Jake Shimabukuro play “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Mendel has played music since age 12, including jazz band in high school, rock bands and orchestra. He always dreamed of making an instrument to play, and built a dulcimer and an electric bass before tackling the ukulele. “Part of art is getting your art into other people’s hands,” Mendel says. “I wanted to develop something I could do that with. The use was a natural fit for me, doing something a little different was a natural fit for me. I wanted to find my niche. There aren’t really solid body electric ukes out there.” Mendel built his first ukulele and named her Oliver—because you have to love ‘all of her,’ even her flaws. Since then, Mendel has continued to refine his craft through his company, Riverbend Instruments. Mendel plans to rebrand in the coming months to incorporate his family lineage. Soon, Riverbend Instruments will become Joyner Instruments, a reference to the patriarch of his family on his mother’s side. It usually takes Mendel six weeks to build one of his handmade solid body ukuleles. This isn’t his fulltime job, but his goal is to make it his main gig by 2019. He recently invested in a CNC (computer numerical

By Anne Pick control) router, which he’ll use to cut all of his bodies and necks—a great time saver, he says. Mendel says the ukuleles have been selling pretty well, which means he’s a bit low on inventory at the moment. He likes to have ukes in stock for people to buy and browse at his display room in Willow Lane Artist’s Creative Space, which he owns with his wife. Many of his favorite projects have been custom orders. He’s currently building a uke for the guitarist from traveling reggae band Hirie, who recently played in Bend with Indubious. For Mendel and his family, every vacation is a business trip, because he’s always on the lookout for wood for his ukes. The Mendels recently returned from a trip to Hawaii where they spent time driving around the island looking for wood. Other people also reach out to Mendel and offer up pieces of wood that they’d had for 30 years. For Mendel, sourcing the materials is one of the joys of building these unique instruments. “The benefit to an electric uke is the amount of voices it has,” Mendel says. “My goal is not to replace acoustic ukes, but for people who love the instrument, the electrics give them a new tonal palate to work with. You can go from really traditional to metal, all on your ukulele. “Central Oregon is an incredible place and we have an amazing community of makers,” Mendel says. “That really drove me to get back into making. My background is in making jewelry. I’d been teaching high school and I was starting to get a little depressed not using my hands. The amazing community we have here inspired me to want to be a part of it and to get involved again. I think that the people that are attracted to Central Oregon bring the energy of entrepreneurship. There are so many creatives here, it’s a special thing.” SW Riverbend Instruments riverbendinstruments.com

Kindred Souls

Most bands start by playing live and then record an album. Not this new jam band supergroup Andrew Tomasino

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 29, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Anne Pick

Don’t worry, peeps, there’s nothing spooky about catching Ghost Light jam at Volcanic Theatre Pub on 3/29.

f you want to hear the jam band-style rock music this group of talented and experienced musicians brings to the table, for the most part, you’ll have to catch them live. When you go out in search of the music of Ghost Light, you’ll only find a couple videos featuring music recorded in the studio, and now, a few live videos from the band’s current tour. The new “supergroup” includes members of American Babies, Brothers Past and a few fresh faces. “I was doing the American Babies thing, I guess a couple of years ago, and (pianist) Holly (Bowling) had sat in with the band a few times and we just kind of hit it off,” Tom Hamilton says. “It felt like kindred souls when it came to our playing situation.” Leading up to the formation of Ghost Light, Hamilton felt like it was time for a change in personnel in American Babies. He hoped to get a new rhythm section, but when speaking with bandmate Raina Mullen and their manager, they kept tossing around the idea of a new band. “I feel like I’m in a new spot in my career and life, time for a fresh start,” Hamilton says. “That kind of was the catalyst. I did a little research before I went to Holly, floated the idea to these guys in passing a year and a half ago. We were super positive about the idea.” From there, Ghost Light was born. This time around, the band hit the studio first. To avoid creating another version of American Babies, they needed material and they needed identity. Each of the five musicians brought their own songs and their own personality to the studio. The idea to go with a recording-first approach before ever playing together live allowed the band to

build its dynamic. Speaking to Hamilton after the band’s first two live shows, he couldn’t be more pleased. “Both have been incredible, both sold out,” Hamilton says. “It’s been an incredible experience. It literally couldn’t have gone better, people have loved the shows.” On a broader scope, Hamilton loves the band aspect of performing and bringing these songs to life. “Culturally, everyone is so self involved, obsessed with our own egos. It’s about the solo artist or the musician’s ego,” Hamilton says. “That’s not the shit that lasts forever, man. Led Zeppelin was a band. The Beatles were a band. Being bigger than the sum of your parts. That’s what this feels like. It’s not just one person’s voice, it’s five people collectively steering the ship.” Ghost Light brings together the band dynamic, and playing with musicians they already know and respect makes a big difference. “I just think a team is a special thing,” Hamilton says. “Being inclusive and sacrificing your own ego for the greater good, it’s a super important, powerful thing. With this particular group, for some people this is their first real band and in that case, it’s exciting to see them discovering how cool it can be to be in a band. “With the ethos of what’s right for the music, what’s right for the art. That’s everything.” SW Ghost Light

J.D. Platt

Bend’s professional every-man takes on a new venture By Chris Miller

n J.D. Platt’s 39 years in Bend, he’s done just about everything—from professional snowboarder to breakdancer—and now he’s come out with his own brand of inflatable standup paddle boards, aptly named JD SUP. Still, Platt’s probably best known for his 21 years training and showing dogs as JD Platt’s K9 Kings. If you live in Bend, you’ve likely seen Platt’s bright yellow and black Ford truck someplace in town—maybe at Mt. Bachelor or WinterFest, or maybe towing the behemoth trailer that houses his nine furry children when he hits the road for the flying dog shows. “I absolutely love what I do with the dogs,” Platt told the Source at his home in southwest Bend. Every single time I go out and do a venue and I have a big break and I go do a show, it’s amazing how much my dogs touch people’s lives.” Platt got his professional sporting career started in 1987 as one of the first generation of pro snowboarders. In 1990, he invented the “Lien Dracula” point value trick, and in 1993 took third place in the first ever Boardercross event held at Whistler Blackcomb in Whistler, British Columbia. He actually started snowboarding in 1984, when there were fewer than a handful of other boarders on Mt. Bachelor. “I could probably name them,” Platt said, laughing. Platt’s website says he was a top ranked junior Olympic skier from 1979 to 1984, but he said early snowboarding magazines got him into the fledgling sport. Although many resorts banned snowboarders in the early years, Platt said Bend’s home hill

was open to the new way down the mountain. “Mt. Bachelor has always had this really free mind towards thinking about allowing different sports up there and snowboarding was one of them that they accepted right away,” Platt said. “They never had a resistance to allowing us on the chairlifts. We saw the resistance maybe with the skiers looking at us weird,” Platt said, bellowing out his signature laugh. Platt said he came out of retirement last year when Bend’s SnoPlanks designed a signature model. This time though, he says he’s keeping the board on the ground, racing in banked slaloms instead of doing the high-flying aerials in days past. “I love those guys and will be with them for as long as they keep me in,” Platt said of SnoPlanks. In 2006, after throwing probably hundreds of thousands of Frisbees for his dogs, Platt turned pro in disc golf. He said he started playing in the early ‘90s, when there was a homemade course in Drake Park, and then moved to the Central Oregon Community College nine-hole course when it was built. “I entered some competitions back in the early ‘90s and did really well in the intermediate division,” Platt said. “I quickly went to the advanced, and started getting top three in that, and I always like to push myself in sports, so I started entering the open division in the pros

and after a couple of events, I ended up cashing out and kind of went professional with it.” As with most of the things Platt does, eventually he’ll let the dogs out. “Then of course, I brought my dogs into the disc golf world and started doing some entertainment,” he said. Platt said he retired from the disc golf tour about five years ago, but still plays in local tournaments when he has time. “I love the industry, I think it’s one of the most amazing sports and it grows every single year and I’m friends with some of the top disc golfers in the world,” Platt said. “And my position with DCurve Optics—is I’m a team manager—and I’ve actually brought in a team of seven of some of the top disc golfers in the world with that.” This April, Platt will start what he called, “the point in my life where I’ve always wanted to be: of having my own brand.” With his newest venture, JD SUP, Platt designed one of the inflatable standup paddle boards with, of course, his dogs in mind. His K9 Tour model has a raised “Paw Perch” that Platt designed.

ARTWATCH Karen Ruane

Alcohol inks, evoking watercolors Karen Ruane never had a knack for watercolors, which is why her art may surprise you. It’s not watercolors that she works with. Instead, she uses alcohol inks, which leave you with the same feeling: free and light. Ruane grew up in the desert and has a deep love for it. She and her family found their way to Bend in 2014. Shortly before her move, she began exploring her interest in painting again, specifically marbling. By the time she got to Bend, she was marbling full time. “Every time you pivot, it informs your other work. I think it helps with everything you do and keeps everything fresh,” Ruane says. Recently, Ruane has found her main

All of his boards come with his patented retractable center fin—helpful if you run into one of the many lava rocks that surround Central Oregon’s rivers and lakes. While Platt hasn’t taken this venture to the professional level—yet—he’s still trying to do skateboard-like tricks on his freestyle boards. “Here I am having people try to invent and get the kids out there and try to invent some tricks in the paddleboard world,” Platt said. With all of the sports Platt has been involved in, it begs the question: can he retire? “I’d better hurry up,” he said, belly laughing as usual. “I would like to retire one day. I feel very blessed that my parents got me involved with a lot of sports and I continued with a passion my entire life to stay active. And hopefully, I’ll be following my son around the NHL hockey circuit or something like that.” SW JD SUP

By Teafly Peterson success selling on Instagram, which she says is the best way for an artist to sell their work. She’s now joined up with seven other artists to start an Instagram-based grant for emerging female American artists. Launched in January, Ruane and the other seven artists each post their own work for sale and give 50 percent of the sale proceeds to the grant. When they reach $500, they announce a recipient for the money. The group helps by not just providing funds, but also by sharing the recipient’s work via Instagram—with the hope of boosting exposure for the emerging artist. Ruane is working on opening her own studio upstairs from Townshend’s Bend Teahouse, where she’ll host an open studio during First Friday in April and hopefully be able to showcase other

artists’ work. She’s also working on a new mixed media series that explores grief. Having lost her father recently, Ruane says she’s learned so much from the grieving process that it has given her clarity on finding beauty in the grief. While her work will continue to be largely abstract, she’s still toying with the idea of bringing some elements of figures back in her work. SW

Made in Central Oregon: Fiber Arts Bend fiber artist is one of dozens at Sunriver gallery By Elizabeth Warnimont

Elizabeth Warnimont

35 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 13 / March 29, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

end fiber artist Mary Wonser has been showing her works at the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver Village for the past four years, enjoying the company of her fellow artists—all proud to be crafting works made in Central Oregon. Thirty artists share the gallery space, offering art pieces for sale in the sunny showroom at Sunriver’s main shopping outlet. Visitors to the gallery will find glass art, ceramics, textiles, paintings and drawings in a variety of media, as well as jewelry, art to wear and many other creative and useful items. Wonser keeps four different weaving looms, which she keeps in her Bend home—not counting a very small one she’s currently experimenting with. “That’s a photo of one of my husband’s paintings,” she says while walking me through her space. Wonser cut the photo into thin strips and has them woven through some white yarn on the loom, allowing the creative process to flow for a while before deciding on her next step. The other, larger looms in the home contain various shades and types of yarn for separate projects in progress. “It’s all the artists,” Wonser says about the way the cooperative business operates. “We all have shifts at the gallery, and every artist is expected to serve on a committee.” The artists share the rent, as well as the responsibility for the various business operations. Wonser keeps the books. Wonser also travels a bit to show at her favorite art and craft fairs, but says an artist relying on sales to make a living would need to be on the road much more. “Everyone has their ways of doing it, but it takes a lot of work.” Wonser

Shown here are some works, hot off the loom, by fiber artist Mary Wonser.

says most of the artists at the gallery rely on other sources of income. “I’m not aggressively trying to build a customer list. I feel the need to create, and the ideas keep coming. I’ll go to Portland. There’s a studio tour I’ve done through the years, in June and October. I’m the featured artist at the Sunriver Library in July and August, so I’ve gotta get some work done. This will be a shawl, this mohair, which is more wintery,” she says of a deep sky-blue work in progress on one of her four working looms. Local stylist Marci Janieson shows greeting cards and postcards at the gallery, featuring prints of the works she has on display at Studio M, her Bend hair salon. “This is a new thing for me. Just within the last year and a half or

so I started printing the art. It definitely started to pick up with the printing.” Janieson started painting as a hobby, never expecting to earn any money with it. “I wasn’t even trying to sell my paintings. I was just doing it for my own pleasure, then someone suggested that I put it into the form of postcards or prints, and they’re selling quite well.” Janieson paints scenes from around the city of Bend for the printed cards, also featured at studiombend.com. While much of Wonser’s work has both form and function, some customers balk about the second part. “I have a lot of customers who don’t want to use these dish towels,” Wonser explained while showing off some of her more practical pieces. “But they’ll last

10 years, they should use them!” The gallery’s next artists’ reception will offer light appetizers along with wine and local brews. Guests can nosh and browse while having the opportunity to meet with several of the featured artists. The event is free. SW

Sweet and savory Central Oregon-made foods By Lisa Sipe

Bontà Natural Artisan Gelato Jeff and Juli Labhart trained under two different Italian gelato masters before developing their own ice cream recipes and starting Bontà Natural Artisan Gelato. Their gelato has on average 10 percent less butterfat than typical ice cream. With less fat to hide flavor, the delicious ingredients shine through. Bontà has 18 signature and rotating flavors, but you can never go wrong with the dulce de leche and sea salt or the peanut butter and Theo chocolate fudge. No worries if you’re dairy free. The sorbettos are equally indulgent.

Jem Organic Nut Butters These nut butters are special because organic nuts are sprouted for 24 hours, then dehydrated, and once dried, ground by stone at slow speeds. The ingredients are ground to the point where the human tongue can no longer detect texture—that’s seriously smooth! Jem Organic Nut Butters come in two savory flavors: cashew curry tahini and cashew masala tahini, and four sweet flavors: cashew cardamom almond butter, cinnamon maca almond butter, superberry almond butter and chocolate hazelnut butter. Find it: C.E. Lovejoy’s, Natural Grocers, Newport Market, Market of Choice, Whole Foods, Locavore and more jemorganics.com

Find it: Newport Market, Market of Choice, Food 4 Less, Whole Foods, C.E. Lovejoys, Locavore and at their downtown store, among other spots bontagelato.com

Holm Made Toffee Donna Holm’s family recipe for turning hazelnuts, semi-sweet chocolate, butter and sugar into toffee is so good it keeps bringing home awards. Holm Made Toffee’s cardamom and vanilla hazelnut toffee just won Best Chocolate Candy at the Oregon Chocolate Festival. Try all seven toffee flavors and see if you can keep yourself from eating an entire bag in one sitting. If you aren’t into sweets, they’re debuting three new whole roasted nuts this summer at farmers markets. Find it: Newport Market, Market of Choice, Food 4 Less, Whole Foods, C.E. Lovejoys, Locavore and more holmmadetoffee.com

Justy’s Jelly Justy Haney worked at a restaurant that made jelly so good she bought the rights to the recipes. Justy’s Jelly started with two flavors: pineapple jalapeno jelly and pineapple roasted garlic jelly— but now you can find the fruit preserves in 11 flavors. If you’ve always wondered what to do with a sweet and spicy jelly, slather it over some cream cheese on a cracker and enjoy. Find it: Newport Market, Market of Choice, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, Food 4 Less, Locavore and more justysjelly.com

Prima Salsa Teresa Jordan grew up with salsa always on the table at home. When she moved to Central Oregon in 2003

she couldn’t find good salsa anywhere. Inspired by her cousin’s recipe, Jordan created a fresh tomato salsa and started Prima Salsa. The salsa is made with tomatoes, onions, carrots, jalapenos, cilantro and serrano chile peppers. It’s available in three spice levels: mild, medium and hot. Spicy Prima Salsa pairs perfectly with Juanita’s crispy tortilla chips (those aren’t made in C.O., though—they’re produced in Hood River). Find it: Newport Market, Whole Foods, Market of Choice, Natural Grocers, Food 4 Less, C.E. Lovejoy’s and Erickson’s Thriftway

Red Plate Foods Becca Williams developed a life-threatening allergic reaction to dairy and a gluten intolerance after the birth of her fourth child. She quenched her desire for sweets by creating nut free, vegan, gluten-free and soy-free cookies, granola and muffins for her family and friends to enjoy. From there Williams and her husband, Chell, started Red Plate Foods so other families suffering from food allergies had allergy friendly, pre-made food options safe to share. Try the dark chocolate muffins. They’re decadent, rich and delicious. The dark chocolate chips add just the right amount of texture.

Bella Baker Milena Burnquist and Stacey Bock met at their kids’ school and discovered they had a mutual love of cooking. Bock had a background in commercial catering and Burnquist had an authentic Brazilian cheese bread recipe. Bella Baker was created around that naturally gluten, yeast and sugar-free cheese puff recipe. Brazilian cheese bread, known as pão de queijo, is a popular breakfast dish and snack in Brazil. You can enjoy Bella Baker as a soft, cheesy snack at home or bring it as a quick heat and serve appetizer to your next party.

Outdoor Enthusiast Chef Caters to Bend When Susan Harrell relocated to Bend, she opened Susan’s Table, a new version of the successful catering business she ran in North Carolina. Harrell is a classically trained chef and Level 1 Sommelier who draws inspiration from the culinary hubs where she’s lived, including Memphis and Spain.

You’ll see many Mediterranean and American regional influences within my recipes.” Susan’s Table offers full-service catering for corporate events, private parties and weddings, with menus driven by the style and cuisine of your choice. For less formal events she offers a drop n’ go menu that includes everything you need from dinnerware to decorative platters and bowls. Susan’s Table 541-639-8088 susanstable.com

Bronx Born Pizza Opens Since June, we’ve seen a sign in the window of the building on Galveston Avenue and Columbia Street that read “Bronx Born Pizza Coming Soon.” The doors are finally open, and that means you can now satisfy your craving for New York style pizza. You know the kind of pizza: crust thin enough to fold in half and eat with one hand, the crust itself still thick and crispy. Bronx Born Pizza is owned by Thomas and Leah Schiffer, who say, “It feels fantastic to be open. We are very excited and looking forward to being a part of the community. We love feeding people and it feels good to be making pies.” Bronx Born Pizza 1005 NW Galveston Ave., Bend 541-323-6323 bronxbornpizza.com

MICRO Easter Fool’s Beer Serious pairing ideas...and not-so-serious ones

By Kevin Gifford

VOLUME 22 ISSUE 13 / March 29, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Sriracha Hot Stout: The epitome of “prank” beer.

pril 1 is Easter Sunday. It’s also April Fool’s Day, the first time the two holidays have shared the date since 1956. Why not celebrate both at once with beer? “The Brewmaster’s Table,” originally published in 2003, is one of the first cookbooks to take a serious approach to correctly pairing beer with food to make the most out of both. In it, author and Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster Garrett Oliver suggests that the classic glazed Easter ham would go great with some Irish stout (to mute the salt from the ham and amplify its sweetness) or some Belgian strong pale (whose citrusy spice and high carbonation does much of the same thing). There’s plenty of the former brew still kicking around locally after St. Patrick’s Day, of course; look for Paddy’s Irish Stout from Sunriver Brewing. Pfriem’s Belgian-Style Blonde Ale fills the bill for the latter, but—hey—it’s a holiday, so why not go with a heavy pale from Belgium itself, such as Delirium Tremens or Piraat? And now that the formal dinner with the family is covered, it’s time to explore the silly side of April 1. Compiling a list of really goofy beer is a simple task for Oregon residents—just look up whatever Rogue Ales is selling in 750ml bottles. It must be noted that Rogue makes some very fine beer as well (Hazelutely Choctabulous makes a great Easter dessert selection, for example), but they have become a bit more famous nationwide for eye-catching bottles of Sriracha Hot Stout and Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale, both of which are better shared with many people during festive occasions rather than wrecking one’s stomach trying to finish a full pint. And let’s not forget Beard Beer, made with yeast cultured from nine hairs of

brewmaster John Maier’s beard. Despite the slightly gross backstory, it tastes like a perfectly normal, kind of sweet pale ale. What other goofy, gimmicky beers are out there, ready to unleash upon helpless victims around the dinner table this April Fool’s? A few suggestions: Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer (IL): Pizza’s nice, beer’s nice, so they’d naturally be even nicer smashed together, right? Such is the quintessentially American way of thinking behind this pale, brewed with basil, oregano, tomatoes and garlic. Currently rockin’ an 11 percent rating on RateBeer. com, it’s sure to evoke memories of the rats lurking around the booths at Joe’s Italian Delight off the freeway.

Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout (CO): Oyster stout is a real, historical style, made with oyster shells for extra sweetness. Rocky Mountain oyster stout was not a real thing until the maniacs at Denver’s Wynkoop advertised an April Fool’s beer brewed with cattle testicles, then actually made it in 2013. (“We’ve been making ballsy beer for the past few years,” brewer Andy Brown told the Huffington Post, “and this is great proof of that.”) Cup O’ Beer (TX): Speaking of bad decisions made during a beer-driven case of the munchies, Fort Worth-based The Collective makes Cup O’ Beer, a lightly sour gose-type ale made with ramen noodles, lemongrass, lime zest and more. A bottle costs $7— which would buy 12 or 13 real Cup Noodles—but at least beer is lower in saturated fat. SW

These robots only transform into murderers.

’m a simple man, but I take pleasure in some very specific cinematic delights. I love giant, Godzilla-esque kaiju monsters. I also love several-hundred-feet-tall, mech-suited robots. So back when visionary director Guillermo del Toro announced he was making a movie about huge alien sea monsters entering our world through an inter-dimensional portal on the bottom of the ocean and fighting enormous robots with human pilots... I was a little too excited.

soulful and weirdly high energy performance from “Star Wars’” John Boyega. He’s teamed up with the son of Clint Eastwood, a badass teenage girl and a brilliant Chinese futurist, all of whom are more interesting than Hunnam’s dead-eyed stare or Idris Elba’s valiant attempt to make bad dialogue sing. Ten years have passed since the original and no more kaijus have come through the portal. The massive robots sit quietly in their hangers even as new generations of pilots train for the inevitable incursion from deadly monsters. Boyega plays Jake Pentecost, son to Idris Elba’s heroically dead Stacker Pentecost. “Uprising” isn’t a masterpiece by any stretch of the Jake just wants to make a living stealing and selling Jaeger parts imagination, but it’s damned fun in the way that most on the black market and floating in the pool behind the half-destroyed mansion he’s squatting in. $150 million Hollywood movies usually aren’t.

“Leaning Into The Wind”

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 29, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

7 DAYS IN ENTEBBE: Based on the

harrowing true life story of the 1976 Air France hijacking, “7 Days in Entebbe” is a well-made if ultimately pointless thriller. The ground has been covered so thoroughly by other fi lms and documentaries that it all feels fairly repetitive. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

ANNIHILATION: Easily the weirdest and most

surreal theatrical fi lm since Cronenberg was experimenting with body horror. Five women cross a boundary into an area slowly changing into something otherworldly and dangerous. The imagery in this fi lm will stay with you. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

BLACK PANTHER: The hype for the newest

fi lm in Marvel’s slate of superhero fl icks has been overwhelming and, amazingly, the fi lm completely deserves it. “Black Panther” is less of a superhero movie with some drama thrown in than a family drama with some superheroes sprinkled throughout. A genuinely thoughtful and powerful fi lm that fi nally puts an African-American hero front and center. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

A FANTASTIC WOMAN: Marina is a trans woman dating an older man named Orlando. When Orlando dies from a brain aneurysm, Marina has to fi ght in order to be accepted by his family so she can mourn her partner. Tin Pan Theater GAME NIGHT: With a cast featuring Jason

Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Lamorne Morris and Jesse Plemons, it’s really hard to go wrong. Luckily, “Game Night” works as a hilarious comedy and a mystery/thriller in equal measures, making for one of the most entertaining movies of the year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE: A true story about

Bart Millard, the lead singer of the Christian band, MercyMe. When his father dies, he pens the titular song, which is apparently a real thing, popular in the world right now. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

LEANING INTO THE WIND: A documentary about Andy Goldsworthy as he travels across the globe creating new works of magnifi cent art. For fans of art and nature, both human and otherwise. Tin Pan Theater

LOVE, SIMON: A tear-jerking and

crowd-pleasing teen dramedy about the inherent diffi culty in coming out to your friends and family. Bring tissues and a developed sense of empathy and humanity. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

MIDNIGHT SUN: You know how it goes: Boy meets girl, girl falls in love with boy, boy wants them to be together but girl is allergic to the sun like she’s a damn vampire. Tug them heartstrings and watch as two youngsters fi gure out things they can do indoors for two hours. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING: Giant monsters fi ghting human-piloted robots sounds like a

blast, and it really is. You might need to shut down the brain for a while, but the 12-year-old inside will be glad you did. See full review on p 41. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST: Jim Caviezel

steps back into biblical territory after “The Passion of the Christ” with this tale of Paul’s time locked in the dungeons of Nero. Jim plays Paul’s homie Luke, so maybe we’ll see a few of his other New Testament passions. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

RED SPARROW: Jennifer Lawrence re-teams with her “Hunger Games” director to take on a paranoid spy thriller. Reviews are mixed and there’s some weird Lawrence backlash going on right now, but she’s still one of the fi nest actresses of her generation. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE SHAPE OF WATER: The delightful

love story about a mute cleaning woman and her torrid romance with a fi sh monster. It begins to make more sense knowing it’s from the mind of visionary fi lmmaker Guillermo Del Toro, the mastermind behind “Crimson Peak” and “Pan’s Labyrinth.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SHERLOCK GNOMES: Anthropomorphized garden gnomes go on adventures and sing songs and solve a mystery. I’m just guessing. I know there’s a chunky dude gnome in a thong named Mankini, and the human brain only has room for so much. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema THOROUGHBREDS: A blackly funny look at

disaffected youth, being compared to such genre staples as “Heathers” and “American Psycho.” The fi lm also contains the fi nal screen performance of Anton Yelchin, just to make things more uncomfortable. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

A WRINKLE IN TIME: Based on the beloved

children’s book by Madeleine L’Engle, this adaptation takes the important thematic and story points and leaves the rest. At turns lovely and gentle, and while not a perfect movie, it does enough right to feel like a genuinely humanist motion picture. Without a drop of cynicism, “A Wrinkle in Time” makes a bit of magic.

Unsane in the Membrane Soderbergh once again blazes the trail By Jared Rasic 43

Soderbergh has always managed to make films that were perfectly timed in the cultural zeitgeist, but “Unsane” is so timely it hurts. “Unsane” tells the story of Sawyer Valentini (a career-defining performance by “The Crown’s” Claire Foy), a woman who’s moved to a completely new city in order to get away from a stalker. When she is horrifyingly committed to a mental hospital for telling her therapist she’s had suicidal thoughts, her stalker appears there, working as an orderly. Sawyer is pumped with so many drugs and has been so afraid of this man for such a long time that she has no idea whether she’s losing her mind or if he’s actually appeared in her life

teven Soderbergh is having one hell of a retirement. After announcing his intention to quit directing following “Magic Mike” and “Side Effects,” he directed, edited, produced and shot the insanely brilliant Cinemax show, “The Knick,” and HBO’s interactive puzzle series, “Mosaic.” He then instantly dove back into film with the Liberace biopic “Behind the Candelabra,” and 2017’s delightfully strange “Logan Lucky.” Prolific doesn’t even begin to describe the auteur’s output, because he isn’t just cranking out movies for a buck. His films feel like little obsessions, little nuggets of character or imagery that won’t allow him to rest until he commits them to the screen. Following in the footsteps of John Cassavetes, this is the man who revolutionized and modernized independent film with his 1989 cult classic, “Sex, Lies and Videotape.” “Unsane” once again sees Soderbergh blazing his own trail by shooting a pulse-pounding psychological thriller on the iPhone 7 Plus. Sean Baker did something similar when he shot 2015’s “Tangerine” on three iPhone 5s, but that was supposed to make that film feel like a gritty slice of life. “Unsane” uses the medium to create paranoia, delirium and rage.

All aboard the crazy train! Next stop, Tensionville.

once again. Soderbergh has always managed to make films that were perfectly timed in the cultural zeitgeist, but “Unsane” is so timely it hurts. This is a film for the #Metoo movement, fully underlining how women lose their agency and their consent not just from insurance companies and bureaucracies, but also from men who think that their desire “trumps” all other considerations. Sawyer reached out for help and her own autonomy became as useful as a vestigial tail. “Unsane” gets a little goofy in parts and the film would have reaped many more chills if it remained fettered to the realism inherent in the lo-fi filmmaking conceit, but overall, Soderbergh has another minor

masterpiece on his hands. The tension becomes almost unbearable at points, inciting a heartrending allegory contextualizing the voyeurism we feel watching Sawyer’s story and the clutching need society has to make women a commodity.

New Outdoor Adventures, Made In C.O. Cascade Snowbikes—motorcycles on snow—and Central Oregon Jeep Tours are ready for outdoor adventures By Chris Miller

Central Oregon Jeep Tours, which opened its doors on New Year’s Day, can take up to six passengers on tours in its highly customized, four-door Jeep Rubicon bearing the call sign: “The Iron Patriot.” Owner Jay Harness is an 11-year Army vet- Harness’ tours go almost eran, serving as a military policeman and narcotic and explosive K9 handler. He finished his anywhere in Central Oregon. career as a bodyguard for James Stavridis, who was the supreme allied commander of Europe and a NATO admiral. Harness’ tours go almost anywhere in Central Oregon, from the Dee Wright Observatory— the lava stone observatory, built in 1935, located on the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass National Scenic Byway—to the Three Creeks Reservoir, the lake located in a glacial cirque below Tam McArthur Rim. “Not only do we provide tours to every location in Central Oregon, but we also offer hunting and fishing tours for those looking for the best spots and are looking to go off-roading in some very beautiful and remote locations,” Harness told the Source. In addition to the remote tours, Harness’ business also offers night tours, shuttle services from Drake Park during the summer months and customizable picnic packages. Central Oregon Jeep Tours start at $35 per group—which is six people or fewer—and go up to $450.

Moto in the Snow As if there weren’t enough options for enjoying Bend’s awesome winters, Cascade Snowbikes added another one this year: motorcycles with a snowmobile-type track. Cascade Snowbikes is owned by Dave and Casey Reuss. The couple came up with the idea in 2016 and just opened the doors Feb. 15. The Reuss’ convert dirt motorcycles for riding in the snow, also renting their own bikes for $350 per day from their home-based shop. Dave Reuss grew up riding BMX bikes and building tracks in Northern California. He followed his passion for BMX riding and track building across the country, even helping build the Woodward West dirt jumps in Southern California in 2003. In 2007 his dream to live in the mountains came true when Reuss was hired by Mt. Bachelor to shape jumps in the terrain park. “I’ve spent the last seven years learning our area, extending my Avy [avalanche] education, and figuring out how to have successful days in the backcountry,” Reuss told the Source. Reuss said the concept of snowbikes has been around since about World War II, but he said the modern bikes credit goes to 2Moto brand, which went into production about 2009. “When snowbikes caught my eye a few years ago, I was floored,” he said. “It’s the perfect combination of all the machines you could ever ride. I love wrenching and modding things. I love riding, and especially love the backcountry, and snowbikes hit all the marks. These machines have got to be one of the raddest inventions in the last 20 years, way better than smartphones.” The small amount of snow early this winter actually helped, Reuss said, giving the company time to set up the reservation system and website, secure insurance, order parts and build the three rental bikes. “Our first renter took a bike out the first day we were open,” Reuss said. “We are planning on organizing a couple group snowbike rides in the coming months to help build the community.” Reuss said his main competition is snowmobiling. “We know that we are catering to an emerging niche market, but we believe once people get the opportunity to ride a snowbike, there are going to be a lot of folks leaving their sleds behind,” he said. In the summer months, Reuss said the company is considering converting its bikes back to dirt use for rent. One of the company’s biggest goals is to secure the Forest Service permits they’ve submitted so they can guide next winter. Another is to prepare their clients with the proper resources, tools and knowledge before they head out into the backcountry. “Before our clients head out, we check the weather, look at Central Oregon Avalanche Association observations and go over avalanche tools—shovel, beacon, probes—and talk about trip planning and decision making,” Reuss said. “All of these things help contribute to good days in the mountains, and we aim to be stewards of safe and sustainable backcountry travel.” Cascade Snowbike 541-728-1119 cascadesnowbike.com

Natural World

The arrival of a new trumpeter swan in Sisters By Jim Anderson

spen Lakes, on the Cyrus family property near Sisters, is involved in an exciting wildlife project. The project is in cooperation with the Trumpeter Swan Society, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the benevolent people at Aspen Lakes. There are only three trumpeter swans in the breeding program in the state of Oregon, and of the these, only Eloise now has a mate. Other swans include the Sunriver female— whose mate was recently shot and killed, and a lone female on the Deschutes River in Bend. Aspen Lakes resident Robin Gold says, “Since swans are typically sold in pairs, we were extremely fortunate to find an unpaired male for Eloise.” Eloise, purchased with three other swans by the Cyrus family several years ago, has been joined by Pete, a newly-acquired young male trumpeter. Gold and the other residents of Aspen Lakes collected enough funds to purchase Pete, and the pair will—hopefully— become part of the trumpeter swan recovery program. According to Gold and the Cyrus family, the success of the program will result in a vital contribution to the growth of the species throughout the bird’s range. Plus, Aspen Lakes residents and visitors can enjoy observing the adult swans and offspring. The adults’ wings are clipped so they’re permanent residents, but the offspring will not have their wings clipped, so they can eventually be released to the wild. The Cyrus family purchased two pairs of swans at separate times when the Aspen Lakes Community was originally developed. Unfortunately, three of the four swans are now deceased, and the surviving swan, the Cyrus’s beloved Eloise, is estimated to be in

47 her late teens. The Cyrus family has graciously allowed the use of the large pond to be the nesting site and have allowed Eloise to be a part of the program. Pete was successfully released into the pond on a recent Friday morning, where he and Eloise seem to have hit it off. They may have offspring this year, but it will more likely be next year before everyone can hope/ expect to see a family of swans. Trumpeter swans are the largest waterfowl species in North America, with a wingspan of 7 feet and standing about 4 feet tall. Most trumpeters weigh in at about 21 to 30 pounds, with the males tending to be the larger. The male is called a cob, the female is a pen and the babies are cygnets. They may live 20 to 30 years in the wild. Hunting for meat, skins and feathers reduced the once-widespread trumpeter swan population to 69 known individuals in 1935. Hunting them is now illegal throughout the United States. Trumpeters have rebounded and their numbers are increasing. However, they’re still officially a fragile species, classified as a Conservation Strategy Species, a Sensitive Species and a Protected Wildlife Species in Oregon. Continued threats to the species include habitat loss, lead poisoning, striking power lines and the occasional shooting, such as the shooting of the Sunriver male and the killing of trumpeters last year in the ODFW’s Summer Lake Wildlife Management Area. The swans are also extremely sensitive to human disturbance at their breeding sites and may abandon nests and cygnets if disturbed. In addition to the Cyrus family, the Sisters program will be overseen by Gary Ivey, a wildlife biologist and past president of the Trumpeter Swan Society, and Simon

“Love at first sight” is what the Cyrus family and Robin Gold of Aspen Lakes are hoping for as Pete, the new mate of Eloise, met each other last week.

Wray, conservation biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Cygnets will remain with their parents for 10 to 11 weeks and then be transported to Summer Lake Wildlife Area for release to the wild. Swans need to swim nearly constantly to reduce pressure on bones, joints and vital organs, since they are such large birds. The Sisters group has purchased and installed a bubbler in the north end of their pond to ensure there is an ice-free area all winter. Wild flighted swans are quite capable of caring for themselves, however, Pete and Eloise are pinioned (the wrists of their wings surgically removed). They’re unable to get to other food sources if the natural supply is reduced in the pond, therefore they are supplemented year-round. The swan feeder is designed to let the swans self-feed on demand, but doesn’t give visiting geese and ducks access to supplemental food. Also, the automatic feeder reduces the association of food with humans for the swans. In order to achieve optimal results, the trumpeter swan recovery program relies heavily on the cooperation of neighborhood residents and visitors. Both Gold and the

Cyrus family urge visitors to follow these guidelines: The swans are not pets. Please do not attempt to befriend them to become human companions. To enhance their chance for survival, it’s particularly important to keep any cygnets as wild as possible. Do not feed the swans, ever. They’ll be on a specially formulated diet and fed through an automatic feeder to prevent association with humans for food. Do not let dogs near the pond. The swans (adult and juvenile) have an acute fear of coyotes to ensure survival. Your pet dog may not be a threat to the swans, but it may look well like a coyote to a swan. If you see something, say something. If you notice people or animals harassing the swans, or any unusual behavior, please contact Rob or Howie in the Pro Shop at 541-5494653 or Rob’s mobile at 541-213-0788. When asked how they think things will go, Connie Cyrus gives a big smile and says, “We are looking forward to partnering with the Trumpeter Swan Society, and hopefully, we will have some cygnets swimming around the pond soon.” SW

Police in Sunriver have arrested a Bend man accused of killing a trumpeter swan near the Sunriver Nature Center in November. Cops say they received an anonymous tip leading them to 23-year-old Jordan Dupuis, who they later arrested on a charge of Unlawfully Taking of Prohibited Species, a Class A Misdemeanor. It’s illegal to hunt swans in the state of Oregon. Officers found the swan, who they believe was shot Thanksgiving Day, just north of Gannet Lane in Sunriver. The swan, an 11-year-old male named Chuck, was later euthanized by veterinarians. Dupuis will be in court April 18 in relation to the case. If convicted, a Class A misdemeanor can carry a sentence of up to one year behind bars.

Inflation Is Increasing and Making Home Ownership More Expensive

3 percent annually for the past four years, and housing shortages and home sale prices rising even more. The article points out that two-thirds of the country is seeing higher prices today than during the housing bubble era. Without relief for inventory shortages, housing costs are anticipated to continue their rise. The good news is that interest rates are still quite low and will not prevent home ownership for most buyers. Locally and nationally, rising building costs and construction labor shortages are probably more significant factors in home affordability.

s was expected, the Federal Reserve decided to raise interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point last week. This puts the federal funds rate at its highest level since 2008. This could mean higher interest rates on bonds and mortgages and lower returns on real estate investment. Because mortgage interest rates typically follow the 10-year Treasury yield, the 30-year mortgage rate could soon see an increase.

Satin Worshipper

My parents said they’d give my fiance and me money for a wedding or for a down payment on a home. They aren’t wealthy, so my fiance and I would have to fund about half of the wedding, or possibly more. He doesn’t care about a big wedding, and I agree that it would be fantastic to have money to put toward a home. Still, my friends are getting married and having these beautiful, lavish weddings, and I worry that I’d regret not having one, too. —Bridechilla Let’s think this through. First, there’s “We blew our friends away with the wedding of the century!!!” And then: “But, strangely, none of them showed up to our housewarming in our new tent beneath the overpass.” To understand your longing to get married in, say, the suburban Taj Mahal, with Beyonce as entertainment, it helps to understand that we are imperfectly rational. Our emotions are our first responders, and those still driving us today are often a mismatch with our modern world. They evolved to solve mating and survival problems in ancestral times. Back then, humans were probably around the same small band of 25 or 50 people all the time. This was a harsh world, entirely lacking in 7-Elevens and online listings of couches to surf. This meant that reputation and status mattered—in a life-or-death way. Take the drive for female status competition that’s gnawing at you. It has a long history in both human and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas, etc.). Primatologist and anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy explains, “Access to resources—the key to successful gestation and lactation—and the ability to protect one’s family from members of one’s own species are so nearly correlated with status that female status has become very nearly an end in itself.” Well, guess what: In our modern world, you have access to resources—at the grocery store you drive to in your climate-controlled comfortable car. If there’s a problem with lactation, you hit a number on your phone, and some nice nurse at your obstetrician’s office gets right on it. And—because you are not, say, a chimp—if you need to protect your family from members of your own species, you dial 911. Understanding how starkly mismatched our evolved emotions can be with our modern lives may put your longing to join the wed-spend olympiad into perspective. Ironically, you and your fiance might do more

to signal that you’re high-status through a sort of reverse conspicuous consumption— for example, loudly and proudly throwing a backyard wedding with a barbecue lunch buffet…scooped onto the finest 250-count disposable Chinet $14.99 can buy. (Yes, you two are so comfortable with your place in the social world that you can throw an aggressively unlavish wedding.) Your guests will cry just the same as you say “I do” in a dress you picked up for $9 at Goodwill. Best of all, after your frugally fabulous nuptials, you can go straight off on your honeymoon—the two of you rather than the three of you: you, your husband, and the credit counselor.

Wall Of Me I’m a single woman struggling with maintaining boundaries. I find myself going along in the moment with things men do or want -- saying “sure, that’s cool” even when it’s not. I’m pretty assertive in other areas, so it’s confusing that I’d be such a wimp with men. —Yes Woman Guys love a woman who says yes—until they’re done doing whatAmy Alkon ever she said yes to. It isn’t surprising that you’re inconsistently assertive. There’s this myth of the self as a single, stable entity—like one of those Easter Island statues (but with lip gloss and an iPhone). However, evolutionary psychologist Lee A. Kirkpatrick and his colleagues find that our self-evaluations (and the behavior that follows) evolved to be “domain-specific”—different in different areas of our lives. “Situational variables” matter—like the value to us of a potential relationship. So you might march around like some warrior princess of the work world yet want a boyfriend so badly that you show guys you’re dating that there’s no amount of backward that’s too far for you to bend over. The good news is, your emotions are not your factory foreman. You will not be fired and end up sleeping on cardboard in a doorway if you refuse to obey them. Reflect on possible boundary-challenging scenarios and preplan what you’ll say—and then just say it. State your limits, despite any inner squeals of protest from your fears (those jerks). Expect this to feel uncomfortable, but do it anyway. In time, you should see that it’s self-respect, not compliance, that earns you respect from others—leading them to want you for more than…um…temporary erection relief.

ASTROLOGY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Finnish word *kalsarikännit* means getting drunk at home alone in your underwear and bingeing on guilty pleasures. It’s a perfect time for you to do just that. The Fates are whispering, “Chill out. Vegetate. Be ambitionless.” APRIL FOOL! I told a half-truth. In fact, now is a perfect time to excuse yourself from trying too hard and doing too much. You can accomplish wonders and marvels by staying home and bingeing on guilty pleasures in your underwear. But there’s no need to get drunk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actor Gary Busey is very sure there are no mirrors in heaven. He has other specific ideas about the place, as well. This became a problem when he was filming the movie *Quigley,* in which his character Archie visits heaven. Busey was so enraged at the director’s mistaken rendering of paradise that he got into a fist fight with another actor. I hope you will show an equally feisty fussiness in the coming weeks, Gemini. APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of. On the one hand, I do hope you’ll be forceful as you insist on expressing your high standards. Don’t back down! But on the other hand, refrain from pummeling anyone who asks you to compromise. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Scots language still spoken in parts of Scotland, *eedle-doddles* are people who can’t summon initiative when it’s crunch time. They are so consumed in trivial or irrelevant concerns that they lose all instinct for being in the right place at the right time. I regret to inform you that you are now at risk of being an *eedle-doddle.* APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. I have rarely seen you so well-primed to respond vigorously and bravely to Big Magic Moments. For the foreseeable future, you are King or Queen of *Carpe Diem.*

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Paul McCartney likes to periodically act like a regular person who’s not a famous musician. He goes grocery shopping without bodyguards. He rides on public transportation and strikes up conversations with random strangers. I think you may need to engage in similar behavior yourself, Leo. You’ve become a bit too enamored with your own beauty and magnificence. You really do need to come down to earth and hang out more with us little people. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is prime time to hone your power and glory; to indulge your urge to shine and dazzle; to be as conspicuously marvelous as you dare to be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming days will be an excellent time to concoct an alchemical potion that will heal your oldest wounds. For best results, mix and sip a gallon of potion using the following magic ingredients: absinthe, chocolate syrup, cough medicine, dandelion tea, cobra venom, and worm’s blood. APRIL FOOL! I mixed a lie in with a truth. It is a fact that now is a fine time to seek remedies for your ancient wounds. But the potion I recommended is bogus. Go on a quest for the real cure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I expect you will soon receive a wealth of exotic and expensive gifts. For example, a benefactor may finance your vacation to a gorgeous sacred site or give you the deed to an enchanted waterfall. I won’t be surprised if you’re

blessed with a solid gold bathtub or a year’s supply of luxury cupcakes. It’s even possible that a sugar daddy or sugar momma will fork over $500,000 to rent an auditorium for a party in your honor. APRIL FOOL! I distorted the truth. I do suspect you’ll get more goodies than usual in the coming weeks, but they’re likely to come in the form of love and appreciation, not flashy material goods. (For best results, don’t just wait around for the goodies to stream in; *ask* for them!)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s a narrow waterway between Asia and Europe. In the fifth century B.C., Persian King Xerxes had two bridges built across it so he could invade Greece with his army. But a great storm swept through and smashed his handiwork. Xerxes was royally peeved. He ordered his men to whip the uncooperative sea and brand it with hot irons, all the while shouting curses at it, like “You are a turbid and briny river.” I recommend that you do something similar, Scorpio. Has Nature done anything to inconvenience you? Show it who’s the Supreme Boss! APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is an excellent time for you to become more attuned and in love with a Higher Power, however you define that. What’s greater than you and bigger than your life and wilder than you can imagine? Refine your practice of the art of surrender.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. Fif22-Dec. 21): teenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi was such a lustful womanizer that he sometimes found it tough to focus on making art. At one point, his wealthy and politically powerful patron Cosimo de’ Medici, frustrated by his extracurricular activities, imprisoned him in his studio to ensure he wouldn’t get diverted. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suspect you need similar constraints. APRIL FOOL! I fibbed a little. I am indeed worried you’ll get so caught up in the pursuit of pleasure that you’ll neglect your duties. But I won’t go so far as to suggest you should be locked up for your own good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to slap a lawsuit on your mom in an effort to make her pay for the mistakes she made while raising you. You could also post an exposé on social media in which you reveal her shortcomings, or organize a protest rally outside her house with your friends holding signs demanding she apologize for how she messed you up. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was ridiculous and false. The truth is, now is a perfect moment to meditate on the gifts and blessings your mother gave you. If she is still alive, express your gratitude to her. If she has passed on, do a ritual to honor and celebrate her.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel *The Color Purple.* She has also published 33 other books and built a large audience. But some of her ideas are not exactly mainstream. For example, she says that one of her favorite authors is David Icke, who asserts that intelligent extraterrestrial reptiles have disguised themselves as humans and taken control of our planet’s governments. I bring this to your attention, because I think it’s time that you, too, reveal the full extent of how crazy you really are. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. While it’s true that now is a favorable time to show more of your unconventional and eccentric sides, I don’t advise you to go full-on whacko.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning! Danger! You are at risk of contracting a virulent case of cherophobia! And what exactly is cherophobia? It’s a fear of happiness. It’s an inclination to dodge and shun joyful experiences because of the suspicion that they will disappoint you or cause bad luck. Please do something to stop this insidious development. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is that you are currently more receptive to positive emotions and delightful events than you’ve been in a log time. There’s less than a one-percent chance you will fall victim to cherophobia.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A few years ago, a New Zealander named Bruce Simpson announced plans to build a cruise missile at his home using parts he bought legally from eBay and other online stores. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you initiate a comparable project. For example, you could arrange a do-it-yourself space flight by tying a thousand helium balloons to your lawn chair. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Please don’t try lunatic schemes like the helium balloon space flight. Here’s the truth: Now is a favorable time to initiate big, bold projects, but not foolish, big, bold projects. The point is to be both visionary and practical.

Secondhand Smoke

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 29, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Num, num, num...what munchies? Hey, you gonna finish that sandwich?!

annabis research is fantastic—we need much more of it—and cannabis science is really cool. But studies involving cannabis can be touted by prohibitionists without taking other information into consideration. Surprise, surprise. That’s the case with a study reported on by National Public Radio (“Are There Risks From Secondhand Marijuana Smoke? Early Science Says Yes”), which was recently performed by Matthew Springer, a biologist and professor in the division of cardiology at the University of California, San Francisco. In the most San Francisco thing ever, Dr. Springer found inspiration at a Paul McCartney concert at AT&T Park, coming to the realization that people lighting up during the show weren’t smoking cigarettes, but rather, they were smoking… marijuana! In San Francisco, at a Paul McCartney concert. You’re ruining it for the rest of us, hippies! These rule-defying, counter-culture types gave the good doctor an idea. He was already performing studies on the effects of secondhand tobacco smoke upon rats in his lab at UCSF (finding it made them sing jazz standards in a huskier, sexier voice) and decided he would do the same thing, using joints filled with cannabis to measure the effects of second-hand cannabis smoke. The tobacco studies measured the ability of the rat’s arteries to expand after prolonged exposure to smoke. More blood means healthier arteries, but when a person (or a rat) smokes one cigarette after another, arterial walls can become damaged permanently and cause heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, etc. For cannabis, the researchers placed a lit joint of .9 grams into a 20-liter plexiglass box, mechanically “smoked” for 3 minutes at the rate of a “puff” every second, filling the box with smoke. Excess smoke was then vented from the chamber to obtain the desired starting concentration. A ketamine-anesthetized rat was placed into the box, its nose inserted into a gasket. Researchers exposed the rat to the smoke for 30 minutes (aka the plot line for “Ratatouille 2: K-hole Adventure”). The tobacco study revealed that after 30 minutes, the rat’s arteries would recover to their normal function. With cannabis, it took 90 minutes.

It also took 90 minutes after this study was reported on that stories crying, “cannabis smoke is three times worse than tobacco smoke!” started showing up. But please consider the following: Cannabis is an illegal drug under federal law, and the study used federal funds, so to stay compliant, researchers had to use weed supplied by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Researchers have complained for years about the quality of NIDA cannabis—that it can be a “ground up green powder,” can test positive for molds and lower than requested THC levels and isn’t grown from widely available strains. No one is selling/buying this, because no one is growing it. The joints were 4.5 percent THC, which is so low it’s practically industrial hemp. No one smokes this. This is a non-available weed, that no one is smoking, anywhere. Cannabis isn’t used in the same manner as tobacco, and a 9-gram joint isn’t something just one individual typically consumes in one sitting. If you are a human, don’t do what Smokey the Rat did and smoke garbage weed non-stop for 30 minutes with your nose inserted through a gasket after being anesthetized with ketamine. (It pains me this is the third time I have had to write that sentence over the past six months, dear reader.) Secondhand smoke is annoying and unhealthy. I don’t want to be exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke, and others don’t wish to be exposed to secondhand cannabis smoke. (Children should not be exposed to either, ever.) There are methods, such as vaping, that greatly reduce respiratory aggravation and eliminate secondhand smoke. But that’s no reason to stifle social consumption spaces, and outdoor consumption is a completely different matter. This study is only an introduction to the question asked. Cannabis science is grossly restrictive, criminally underfunded and federally requires use of moldy, compost-destined, floor-sweeping- grade cannabis. Allowing researchers unfettered access to cannabis that’s actually being used, and re-examining how and where that cannabis is consumed will give us truer insight.
