OPINION Letters

IN RESPONSE TO “TINY HOMES” (3/24)

A solution for Tiny Houses that was not discussed is creating Tiny House parks, similar to mobile home parks. All of Jim Long’s objections could be addressed by requiring kick out windows in sleeping lofts and allowing plumbing only in a centrally located community buildings which could house a kitchen, bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities and a gathering room for residents. Restricting cluster housing to parcels of one acre or larger effectively ensures moderate income households can’t afford to purchase a home in Bend.

Mountain bikes do less damage than horses, without even considering that hunting is legitimate in Wilderness areas. I’m not opposed to hunting, but I certainly think leaving a boot track or tire track is far less impactful than killing an animal. Indeed, not just mountain bikes are banned, but baby strollers are too! The current policies just don’t seem rational.

Allowing bikes on a case-by-case basis, with the decision made by local managers, makes a lot of sense to me.

Rather than being upset about other people going to “our” Wilderness, we should realize it belongs to all of us, and concentrate on enjoying it rather than being bothered by the “wrong” sorts of people being present.

And while we’re on the subject... baby strollers - are those in the physical, or spiritual damage category?

Affordable housing doesn’t have to be a single solution issue. Creating tiny house parks with community buildings and allowing cluster housing on all size lots could quickly add affordable housing to Bend while increasing density.

~David N. Welton

FUNDING ROAD REPAIR – WHAT NOW? As I watch the pavement in almost every intersection in Bend explode in potholes and fight to keep my vehicle in the ruts on (put your street name here), I want to congratulate Councilmen Roats and Chudowsky on their success in defeating the gas tax measure.

I now look forward to their detailed funding plan for street pavement replacement, repair, and maintenance. At this time, the onus rests on them to uncover the “hidden” funds, reprioritize spending, and adequately budget the street construction and maintenance in Bend.

Along with the rest of the anti-tax crowd, they wrote a check with their votes that the community at large wants to cash. Let’s hope it doesn’t bounce (the way my truck does every time I drive through the intersection of Third and Greenwood.) ~Stephen Cramer

These people are alienating all of us mountain bikers, who must now choose between more wilderness, an idea I think a lot of us love, and fewer places to ride, which isn’t good.

The city’s solution to affordable housing is multiple story buildings. Is the city proposing affordable multiple story condominiums? Not that I’m aware of. What they are suggesting is multiple story rentals. Who benefits from high rise apartments? The owners of the building, not the tenants. This solution creates more of the same problems we are already experiencing: high rent over which residents have no recourse or options.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 13 / March 31, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Thank you for featuring Tiny Homes on the cover of The Source and shining the light on the resistance of the City Planners and the City Council to think outside of the box to solve Bend’s affordable housing crisis. The City Councils’ choice not to create zoning for tiny houses and their vote to only allow cluster housing on parcels of one acre or larger shows they are more interested in keeping the homeless, homeless than working on solutions.

IN REPLY TO “WILDERNESS - MT. BIKE FIGHT BREWING” (BENT BLOG)

What’s silly is that in terms of actual environmental damage, neither hikers, nor horses, nor bikes do 1/100,000th of the damage a logging or mining operation does, and by needlessly dividing ourselves, we’re getting distracted from what actually impacts the environment the most.

THE WILDERNESS ACT CLEARLY BANNED BIKES The original language of the 1964 Wilderness Act says in section 4(c): “Prohibition of Certain Uses... no use of motor vehicles, motorized equipment or motorboats, no landing of aircraft, no other form of mechanical transport, and no structure or installation within any such area.”

I don’t know about you, but I consider a mountain bike a form of “mechanical transport.”

Furthermore, I would argue that Wilderness and other reserves do not exist purely for people--and this is one of the most important things that too many mountain bikers don’t seem to get. These lands are among the few places in our country where native species, natural processes, and the very essence of selfwilled lands can exist.

As has been suggested, get off your bike, slow down and walk. You might actually start to understand that wild places exist for more than people’s recreational choices. ~George Wuerthner

UPPER DESCHUTES ~ A CALL FOR PROGRESS Since the construction of Wickiup Dam in 1949 there is absolutely much less water--and much more water--in the upper Deschutes then ever before, depending on the time of year you measure. For the sake of my discussion “upper Deschutes” means the river from Wickiup Dam down to Benham Falls.

The upper river explodes with flood-level flows during the irrigation season (April-October) and starves for water during the winter (November-March) while irrigation water is stored in giant artificial reservoirs. It’s far from natural.

Frankly I can find no significant evidence of REAL progress. The water outside my door in winter is as low as ever, there’s less opportunity for fishing then ever, the water quality is as low as ever and nothing concrete seems to be changing for the better on the upper Deschutes.

the rest of the community has no alternative but to “get legal” to protect its own rights. The two current lawsuits are indicative of what we all hope is NOT the future. ~Mike Taylor

How can it take 10 years just to make a plan to make things better for the Deschutes? How long will implementation of that plan take...10 more years...20 years?

The users of irrigation water have important rights, but with those rights come responsibilities to their neighbors, the communities they live in and, yes, to Mother Nature. She was here first and will be here long after the farms are gone.

Water users must make ACTUAL progress in how the water is used and in reducing waste or

lawsuit pertaining to the upper Deschutes River between Wickiup Reservoir and the City of Bend is ongoing. Last week, a federal judge denied the request of two major environmental groups to require immediate changes to water flow, which varies drastically with the irrigation season. The joint lawsuit, based on the federally-protected Oregon spotted frog, was filed by WaterWatch of Oregon and the Center for Biological Diversity. It names the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and three local irrigation districts as defendants: Central Oregon Irrigation District, North Unit Irrigation District and Tumalo Irrigation District. However, there are fundamental differences between those districts and it was with good cause that Jefferson County farmers were the most concerned about the judge’s decision.

Deschutes County irrigated land is mostly used for forage and cattle. Jefferson County, on the other hand, is one of the top counties in the U.S. for seed production. In the 2012 Census of Agriculture, the average value of agricultural products sold per farm in Deschutes County was $16,033. In Jefferson County, the average was $137,198.

Those who have never heard of prior appropriation are probably not at the back of the line for water rights as are the farmers in Jefferson County.

It all goes back to water law established by Congress to encourage western settlement more than a century ago. When it comes to water rights, Oregon is a prior appropriation state: First to use, first in right. The irrigation districts were originally private companies and continue to hold senior water rights established in different years and with different priority dates. Jefferson

County’s North Unit Irrigation District, with its priority date in 1913, is junior to Central Oregon Irrigation District with its priority dates in 1900 and 1907. Tumalo, the third irrigation district named, has certificates with priority dates of 1900, 1905, 1907, 1913 and 1961. Water rights with a priority date through 1905 can be satisfied by live stream flow, but the rest depend on water stored in reservoirs.

Thus, even though Jefferson County farmers far out produce Deschutes County, they are the first to be shut off from water according to water law. Without changing the law, there’s not much that can be done about this, except hope for collaboration and cooperation in conserving water by all parties. Since COID’s demand is fully met during most years, it has less urgency for conservation efforts. Undoubtedly, the flood irrigation practiced by farmers served

by COID and TID is to the detriment of the Jefferson County farmers, but again, there hasn’t been much impetus to change.

Farmers, environmentalists and irrigation districts have overlapping and conflicting interests. Judge Ann Aiken’s decision not to alter water flows immediately came with instructions to work together and the comment that, “Trust is hard to build.”

After taking more than eight years to work on a habitat conservation plan, the defendants’ attorney noted the environmentalists have grown impatient. For now, conservation and sustainable practices may not be regulated, but responsible use and protection of our water is a choice. The Jefferson County farmers are a big part of the Central Oregon economy and deserve more collaboration and timely action to build the trust required to resolve this issue. SW

“Everyone is very concerned about water in the future,” says Peterson, who holds a doctorate in forest ecology. “This is already a fairly arid region that we expect to get drier in the future.” That will affect water supplies, fish and people’s access to recreational opportunities, he says.

She expects more wildfires and insect outbreaks in the forests as temperatures rise. Halofsky says their research shows increasing temperature trends across the board with a high degree of certainty. “We expect decreased snowpacks particularly at lower and mid-elevation places that don’t often have a lot of snow.” These elevations, she says, may lose snow entirely in the future.

Peterson acknowledges variations in climate over thousands of years. What is different now, he says, is how carbon

That’s a great uncertainty for the future,” he says.

Even though the research shows warming temperatures and reduced snowpacks in the future, Holofsky remains optimistic. “I see a lot of good resource managers who are working hard to try to respond to this. I think we can do some things to help reduce some of the negative impacts.”

Peterson says it will be crucial how managers of public lands will accommodate the droughts and higher temperatures. For the sportsmen and women, he says flexibility will be the key to continued recreational pursuits. “I do believe that people who engage in these activities are extremely adaptable. If I don’t find snow here, I’ll go somewhere else.

If I can’t find fish here, I’ll find another stream that has them.”

Increased Central Oregon population projections may strain necessary resources, including water.

In 2015, the population of the three counties was 210,000. PSU forecasts the 2065 population will reach 416,000.

Public agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, the BLM, and others have formed the South-Central Oregon Adaptation Partnership to seek solutions for coping with the effects of a warmer climate on public lands.

he American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of North Carolina, Lambda Legal, and Equality North Carolina filed a lawsuit challenging North Carolina’s anti-LGBT law, HB 2. The case is on behalf of two transgender North Carolinians, Joaquín Carcaño, a UNC-Chapel Hill employee, and Payton McGarry, a UNC-Greensboro student, and Angela Gilmore, a lesbian and North Carolina Central University law professor.

“HB 2 is hurtful and demeaning. I just want to go to work and live my life,” said plaintiff Carcaño. “But this is about more than bathrooms; this is about my job, my community, and my ability to get safely through my day and be productive like everyone else in North Carolina.”

“No legislature should be using its power to require cities, counties, or school districts to discriminate against anyone,” said Tara Borelli, Senior Attorney with Lambda Legal. “Clearly HB 2 is unconstitutional as it not only violates the guarantees of equal protection and due process in the U.S. Constitution but it also violates Title IX by requiring discrimination in education,” she said.

ALBUM REVIEW

Blues to Burn

By Sherron Lumley

Robert Cray Band comes home to Oregon

By Angela Moore 11

Local Sisters favorite, the JZ Band’s new album dropped earlier this month with a CD release party at The Capitol on March 12.

Few know the rhythm of life as intimately as musicians, and the lyrics of this album are by turns serious and funny, light-hearted and wise.

Whether playing at The Belfry in Sisters or in the recording studio, the band draws attention. Are the voices perfect? No, but neither is life. The beauty may be in the imperfections.

Decades of musicianship and the ease of performing together contribute to the band’s sound.

Veteran bluesman Robert Cray brings his versatile band to the Tower Theatre, April 5.

obert Cray has been making music for longer than most people have been listening to it, and at 64 he doesn’t appear to be slowing down. A seasoned guitarist who has played with famed musicians such as Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and BB King, just to name a few, he leads his own band, which is set to play Bend’s Tower Theatre April 5.

The Robert Cray Band has deeper ties to Oregon than just playing shows.

This group formed together in Eugene while he was living there from 1974 to 1982. While there he had his first brush with fame during the filming of “Animal House,” playing the part of an unknown bassist. Cray’s days of being an unknown musician are over, and in 2011 he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.

Cray has honed his talent since he was a teen, practicing when and where he could and finally getting his break into the music profession in the early ‘70s. In Eugene, the free-spirit movement at that time allowed for greater musical flexibility.

“Because it was a college town, we played the music we wanted to play and they loved it,” says Cray. He goes on to point out that having an audience eager for free expression, they were more forgiving in the things they didn’t like, but were even more rewarding for the things they did.

it away. “Not having [a set list] opens up the scenes. We don’t know all that is going to happen, but we are going to jump off that stage together.” That kind of teamwork and coordination of the music is felt at the shows and the success is easily heard.

The Robert Cray Band is made up of multiple musicians all adding their talents to create music greater than themselves.

With multiple guitarists, drummers and even some on horn, this is a group that is in it for the music. Led by Cray, the performances that they create are something close to a spiritual experience. Seeing and hearing so many different individuals coming together to harmonize and play in sync is human evolution at its finest.

Cray knows what it’s like to struggle as well as to succeed. He stresses the importance of being persistent with whatever the goal is. He has some advice for those who want what he has worked so hard to achieve. His words of encouragement are there for dreams large and small, whatever the desire is, whether to form a group, play a small venue, or even to produce an album. “Never quit following your dreams. Don’t ever set a deadline for when ‘it’ has to happen.” SW

Cray lets the Source in on a little behindthe-scenes information, saying that, “We play with no set list.” He clarifies that in the beginning they did, he wanted everyone in the beginning to get used to the music and to get comfortable with it, but once that became apparent he took

It seems “Sauce” was created with the understanding that people like to mix it up and not be pinned down to any one type of music. David Zandonatti (acoustic guitar, bass, vocals), Joe Leonardi (bass, acoustic guitar, vocals), Mark Ransom (electric guitar), Scott Hersh (organ, paino and accordion), Kaleb Kelliher (drums), Greg Weland (drums) and Benji Nagel (lap steel) play from the heart.

Dale Largent and Linken Olsen handled recording. This new album also features special guest Jim Goodwin on tenor saxophone, just one of many reasons to check it out.

Zandonatti has been on the music scene since the mid-1960s and it’s obvious he knows enough about life not to take it too seriously, yet to know just how serious it all is. He’s been out there on the edge of music for a mighty long time. “Blues on Friday,” Yes. “True Love,” sounds good, too. Zandonatti collaborated on lyrics with fellow bandmate Leonardi, a talented singer-songwriter and producer.

Folk, country, rock, reggae and swing are all present to create a musical experience to be remembered as one that felt good. This album is a journey through 12 original songs, such as "Fahrenheit," delivering thought-provoking lyrics like, “Do I really want to change my ways?” It was recorded at Smokey Butte Studios in Tumalo. SW

The band’s next performance is the Second Annual Revival at The Belfry in Sisters, Saturday, April 16, 8 to 11 p.m., $10.

NorthWest Crossing Bend Spring Festival / 2016 OFFICIAL EVENT GUIDE / 3

Event Hours 5-11pm

Friday, April 8th

Saturday, April 9th 11am-11pm Sunday, April 10th

e’ve all heard it- “Bend has six months of Winter!” Where does that leave the season of hope and renewal, Spring? Spring time in Bend is for lovers of nuance, for those who are patient, for those who delight in subtle details and marvel at the divinity of nature’s awakening (following a long, bend, Winter’s nap). If you listen to her hushed tones and soft voice, you’ll notice that spring time in Bend, marks the return of the sun, the blossoming of the trees, and the official word that festival season, and the coming of regular community gathering, has begun in all it’s Central Oregon splendor! Author Robert Putnam suggests that individuals are happier and healthier when they experience a greater sense of bonding and bridging (through gathering). We hope, then, that this festival may mark the beginning of what comes next for you, and that through art, and music, fine wine and food, inspiration and consciousness, and by collecting each other on the streets of NorthWest Crossing, you may find yourselves moved to a better place. The festival launches into full gear on Saturday, April 10th, when you can “pull your best Picasso” by entering the Street Chalk Art Competition (for both adults and kids) and qualify to win any of a number of great prizes! As you browse the more than 75 local and regional fine artists, crafters, and importers, by walking the artist promenade and the Souk de Spring Festival, you might also see a 10 foot high puppet, zany stilt walkers, jugglers, magicians, a bike rodeo, and other merry-making!

The “Conscious Living Showcase” vendors are a remarkable group of businesses who will be promoting green, clean, and collective wellness. We’ll have the usual fine wines, cocktails, Atlas Ales, and Deschutes Brews on Tap. So join us and delight in all things Spring, at the NorthWest Crossing Bend Spring Festival, presented by The Source Weekly.

Using art as our canvas, music as our medium, and children’s activities and performances as a way to honor local area families, we, at West Bend Properties, Brooks Resources, Tennant Development, and C3 Events, invite you to kick off festival season by enjoying the nuances, the details- as our festival blossoms with color and joy! It’s the NorthWest Crossing Bend Spring Festival, Presented by The Source, and produced by C3 Events.

Spring is nature’s way of saying, let’s party!

The COPA Kids’ Zone will be packed with dancers, musicians, spring art activities, and more! The festival blooms with great sounds all week-end long~ check out the PEAK 104.1 Mainstage, where on Friday you can enjoy Larry and His Flask, and on Saturday you can enjoy Marv and Rindy Ross from Quarterflash, kicking off the stage (in trio form), a Bob Marley Tribute band called “Belly Full of Bob,” and return appearances from The Shook Twins and Bend’s favorite party band, Precious Byrd. A festival favorite, the Art and Wine Bop, kicks the event off, Friday, April 9th, as live music, fine art, and fine wine, from 5-9pm, will decorate the insides of participating NorthWest Crossing merchants! Centrally located on NorthWest Crossing Drive, The NorthWest Crossing Bend Spring Festival is designed to promote vitality for the many fine merchants and restaurants of the NorthWest Crossing Neighborhood Center, while participants gather and celebrate the coming of Spring!

5:30PM | ¡CHIRINGA!

Since being named “Best New Artist” at the 2011 Portland Music Awards, Redwood Son has done a great deal of growing up. The road will do that to a person, and you can see why there is a new found focus for 2015 and beyond. Heading into completion of a new record, which is being produced by Steve Berlin of the iconic band, Los Lobos, we are all wondering what this sound and vibe will be like, regarding an artist that is no longer “New”. Fusing vintage tones with contemporary stylings, these songs promise to bring a more mature approach to some timeless folk tunes. redwoodson.bandcamp.com/album/westicana-ep

SATURDAY, APRIL 9

11AM | QUARTERFLASH TRIO

RINDY & MARV ROSS W/EDDIE PARENTE (from Quarterflash)

Rindy and Marv first performed together in the 70’s at Western Oregon University where they fell in love and got married. While completing their teaching degrees, they began gigging in bands with Rindy playing sax and singing Marv’s guitar-driven compositions. In 1980 they recorded Marv’s song, “Harden My Heart” - which became their first hit and led to Geffen Records signing them. Over the next decade they released four albums under a new name, Quarterflash garnering gold and platinum records and tours with Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, and assorted big-haired 80’s acts better left unmentioned. It was an exciting-tumultuous-insane era and the Rosses lived out many a fantasy including Marv writing a song with Burt Bacharach and Rindy appearing on Merv Griffin with Richard Simmons. quarterflash.net

1PM | CORNER GOSPEL EXPLOSION + Friends and Guests After many years of songwriting, Bradley David Parsons put together a talented group of folks to create Corner Gospel Explosion. Influences range from Hardcore acts to singer/songwriters, the music takes plenty of twists and turns. Employing a fair bit of synthesizer creates new dynamics in this rock band. Drawing on reverb-y guitars and some odd story telling, the music becomes a bit spooky. cornergospelexplosion.bandcamp.com

3PM | BELLY FULL OF BOB Belly Full of Bob was born out the love and admiration for the work of Bob Marley & Wailers. The band premiered in May of 2009 to packed houses with an overwhelmingly positive response. Whether you are an occasional Bob listener or grew up under the influence of the Wailers, you don’t want to miss an evening with Belly Full of Bob. myspace.com/bellyfullofbob

7PM | PRECIOUS BYRD Precious Byrd is a 4 piece high energy dance/ rock band from beautiful Bend, OR. Featuring Corey Parnell on vocals, Casey Parnell on lead guitar, Michael Summers on drums, and grammy award winning artist Lonnie Chapin on bass. Their fantastic renditions of modern and classic hits, along with a number of high energy originals, are sure to get you on your feet. preciousbyrd.com

9PM | SHOOK TWINS Born and raised in Sandpoint Idaho, Shook Twins are an Indie folk-pop band now hailing from coniferous forested Portland, Oregon. Identical twins, Katelyn and Laurie Shook, and Niko Daoussis form the core trio. Central elements of the Shook Twins’ sound are a wide range of instrumentation, including banjo, guitar, electric and upright bass, mandolin, electric guitar, electronic drums, face drum (beatbox), glockenspiel, ukulele, banjo drumming and their signature golden EGG. Beautiful twin harmonies, layered upon acoustic and electric instrumentation coupled with Laurie’s inventive use of percussive and ambient vocal loops, and Katelyn’s repurposed telephone microphone, set their sound apart, creating a unique and eccentric blend of folk, roots, groove and soul. shooktwins.com

PRECIOUS BYRD

5PM | DIRTY REVIVAL Portland-born, DR has evolved from the confines of a basement, to some of Portland’s most sought after stages, and more. DR’s soulful sounds and energetic beats deliver an atmosphere that enraptures the audience in the dirtiest of musical revivals. Led by the soulful vocals of Ms. Sarah Clarke and enhanced by verses from MC evv’n’flo, DR has emerged on the Pacific Northwest music scene with passion and flare. The unique ensemble intermingles classic and original tracks with a resounding presence, no matter how big or small the venue. dirtyrevival.com

SUNDAY, APRIL 10 11AM | FIVE PINT MARY

Upbeat, loud, & rollicking, the long-running Bend, Oregon based band, Five Pint Mary, plays a unique blend of Irish and American folk rock with an edge of punk. Five Pint Mary is lead by it’s original band members, Michael Holmes (guitar / accordion / vocals) & Sarah Pollock-Holmes (vocals / guitar/ Irish tin-whistles), and are graced by the monster talents of members Rick Havern (banjo / vocals), Matt Gwinup (mandolin / cajon / vocals), Tyler Cranor (bass), & 16 year-old Evan Holmes (violin). Collectively, this multi-generational group of seasoned musicians dish out a well-honed brew of spirited music, both traditional and original. fivepintmary.com

1PM | RUST ON THE RAILS Cody Beebe and Blake Noble have been no secret to the Pacific Northwest music scene. Beebe, a Washington State resident and front man of Cody Beebe & the Crooks, has toured extensively, nationally and internationally, developing a die-hard following of their Northwest rock influenced, Americana sound. Australian born Noble was an instrumental breath of fresh air when he arrived in Seattle in 2012. Also an accomplished touring musician, his distinctive percussive guitar and skilled didgeridoo blended with American folk, blues and funk caught the attention of waves of new fans, as well as Cody Beebe. soundcloud.com/rustontherails

3PM | MBRASCATU Mbrascatu is a fusion of the cobbled streets and cafés of the Old World and the creative melting pot of Portland. The band is a group of talented musicians that draw from very different musical backgrounds to create a unique blend of sounds encompassing European and American roots. Since the formation of the band, back in 2010, Mbrascatu, has performed extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest delighting many at the hottest music venues, outdoor festivals, bars, clubs and local radio stations. mbrascatu.com

7:30PM | REDWOOD SON

Larry and His Flask are a high energy, five-piece carnival of a band that incorporate rock, folk, bluegrass, soul, brass band, punk and alt-country into their own unique sound.

Some people call what they do “folk-punk”, others call it “a bluegrass traveling circus” and everyone who’s seen them live rightfully call Larry and His Flask “down right WILD”. But no matter what you call it, this is a band that has to be seen to be believed. larryandhisflask.com

¡Chiringa! is a three-piece Latin dance party band based in Bend, Oregon that plays a variety of classic to modern covers in their own rockified way. ¡Chiringa! puts on a most dynamic show, representing a diversity of Latin styles including cumbia, salsa, merengue, bachata, tango, samba, Latin rock and more. They aren’t even trying to be your hot LA salsa band, but take what they know and create the most authentic and accessible sound possible, never relinquishing flavor and appealing just as much to the seasoned Latin dancer as the regular booty shaker. All are invited to do their sexy dance on the dance floor. reverbnation.com/chiringamusic

ABSTRACT IN MOTION

(outdoor Parkour!) Abstract In Motion is Central Oregon’s first Parkour gym with the sole purpose of furthering the movement and discipline of Parkour in a safe and indoor environment. Bring the kids down for a great outdoor Parkour experience!

CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF CENTRAL OREGON

The Children’s Museum of Central Oregon will offer place based and hands on educational experiences through play and experimentation. Components will include a focus on our local culture, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), the fine arts and the performing arts. We will strive to work with existing non-profits in the Central Oregon region to ensure we are not duplicating experiences, rather assisting in providing resources and filling gaps where needed. We will be a space that serves the individual families and the community as a whole—investing in our youngest community members and helping to develop creative, engaged and critical thinking global citizens.

KUMON TUTORING

At Kumon, we believe that every child has the potential to learn far beyond our expectations.

It is our job as Kumon Instructors to encourage each individual child to want to learn, to enjoy learning, and to be capable of studying successfully in the future.

OUTDOOR SCHOOL FOR ALL

Outdoor education has been an Oregon tradition for over 50 years. We know that Outdoor School helps kids learn better; develop leadership, critical thinking and social skills; and exposes them to the role of scientific inquiry and applied learning. It’s a proven success and the most economical and effective way to deliver these results. Our long-term goal is to integrate placed-based programs into the school system that build upon children’s skills in hands-on science and their abilities to be effective stewards and leaders in their communities.

Bring your kiddo’s to the Bend Spring Festival and have their faces painted like tigers and kittens and other fun things!

BASE CAMP STUDIO

Base Camp Studio is equipped with all the supplies and materials needed to begin the life-long journey of exploration through the arts. Most individuals, organizations, nonprofits and schools acknowledge that the arts are beneficial and even crucial to development and overall well-being. When the arts are not directly tied to the mission of an organization, however, funding is seldom available for such programs. Because Base Camp Studio’s sole mission is to cultivate creativity and provide opportunities for engagement in the arts, we can be the “base camp” for other organizations, providing a space and bringing art opportunities to those who can benefit.

DD RANCH

Kids love petting zoos, and that’s exactly what DD Ranch brings to the festivals. They always have plenty of animals to play with and pet, as well as horse rides for the community to enjoy.

DD Ranch has been coming to the festivals for years, and never disappoints!

Behind the Curtain

NorthWest Crossing Bend Spring Festival / 2016 OFFICIAL EVENT GUIDE / 13

or 25 years, C3 Events has been a different sort of contractor, building community in Central Oregon.

Company founder, Cameron Clark, studied the notion of “community” while working on his masters degree at the University of Redlands. While there he discovered that connection led to care; that moving folks with beauty prompted more curation of beauty. And so, in 1990, he moved to Central Oregon and brought these same intentions to Bend! C3 founded Munch and Music in 1991, and added the Bend Spring, Summer and Fall Festivals shortly thereafter. In addition C3 Events has produced Peak Summer Nights at the Athletic Club of Bend, Munch and Movies, the Woodland Park Zoo Concerts (in Seattle), Maya Angelou, the Hullabaloo and the Saturday Farmers’ Market. Building community requires heavy lifting. Our team, this weekend will be asked to defy impossible odds (more than once).

Amy Hogan Art & Wine Bop Coordinator Bradley Paul O’Neal Graphic Design, Special Ops Lead Erika Erkel Gourmet Living Coordinator

All of these people represent the very best of the best among event staff anywhere — this is a positive, healthy, vivacious, energized, elegant, extraordinary group of folks. Thank you to each and every one of you for giving your being to these events!

A Relationship with Nature

ART WATCH

First Friday Highlights for April 1 The first Friday of every month is always a good excuse to wander downtown into the early hours of the morning. If an excuse is something unnecessary then it’s a good opportunity to score thimbles of free booze and see some shops that aren’t on the usual go-see list. The Art Walk could absolutely have its name changed to “The Art Stumble,” but aside from the lure of beverages, and massive social gathering opportunities, there will be some pretty amazing bits of actual art on display.

L

isa Marie Sipe’s work, whether it be in her encaustic wall work or acrylic paintings, captures the textures and layers found dormant in things easily taken for granted, ignored or forgotten.

The fingerprints of nature compose the inspiration for the organic imagery found in her work, not just the nature seen outside in forests, rivers, deserts and mountains, but in cancer and heartaches as well. Her art can be seen at The Workhouse and at Tedx Bend.

Source Weekly: How did you became fascinated with your style?

Lisa Sipes: I grew up with parents that weren’t very outdoorsy. For instance, I got my camper badge in Girl Scouts by staying at the Holiday Inn, so when I went camping for the first time in college I fell deeply in love with the outdoors. I started bringing my camera on my adventures and captured majestic views, but mostly I took close-ups of tree bark and lichen. Over time I found a way to harness the relationship I have with nature and translated it into my style of art.

SW: What drew you to acrylic?

LS: I’m really drawn to the clean lines

and bright colors of pop artists like Roy Lichtenstein. The pop art subject matter isn’t really me but I borrowed the straight edge style from them and applied it to my paintings of tree bark, leaves and dog bellies.

different shapes. I didn’t realize I was discovering a new technique at the time but I’ve used it ever since. I guess I really should thank my aunt for inspiring me.

SW: Has artistic expression been in you since childhood?

LS: I’ve been artistic for as long as I can remember. I tried perfecting drawing symmetrical Christmas trees in preschool. Before entering kindergarten, I took a test where I had to draw my family. I drew my father with pockets on his pants and a watch on his wrist.

I’ve always loved being creative.

SW: How does Central Oregon shape you as an artist?

LS: Central Oregon has helped me blossom as an artist. I find our art community to be very "No Time supportive and open. I’m also to Look at a completely enamored with Flower" Oregon’s beauty.

Whether it’s the first, last or middle stop, it’s important to put it on that list. The live folk-jazz music by Alicia Viani will be the soundtrack to exploring the incredible wood-carved designs by Chloe Raymond.

Velvet is teaming up with local company SnoPlanks to showcase some of its amazing bamboo-based snow accessories. These works of art are created by James Nicol and Will Dennis and are fully functioning boards that will make any mountain surfer jealous.

These are just a couple of stops highlighted. Having a plan isn’t completely necessary. First Friday is very much a part of Bend, so really, just showing up to participate in the community is the important thing. SW

Staying Humm-ble Success in the heart of Bend

By Angela Moore 23 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 13 / March 31, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Humm Kombucha is about to expand its operation to help meet an increasing national demand. Photos courtesy of Humm Kombucha.

T

he fame and popularity of Humm Kombucha is not at all a secret here in Bend. Due to this health conscious and taste-loving town, the popularity of Humm grew here first, right where it was founded. Humm recently announced that it would be expanding beyond its 5,000-square-foot facility, moving into a new location that will be roughly 30,000 square feet, or six times the size of the original location.

The new facility was needed because Humm will be going national by 2017 and expanding into Europe, say co-owners Michelle Mitchell and Jamie Danek. In Bend, 30 to 40 jobs will be added over the next several years.

Beyond the growing market that Humm will serve, it will also be adding two new products to its line, including a Mix-It Up

line combining flavors, which can already be experienced in Humm’s tap room.

Another idea that is still on the drawing board is creating a savory line.

“The crux of our business has always been how do we make more kombucha?

With this expansion we will finally have more tea than we can sell for a while, which will be fun for us,” says Danek.

“Humm has been sold out about 80 percent of the time we’ve been a business and we’re looking forward to being in a place where we have more tea than we know what to do with.”

Mitchell agrees. “We are looking forward to sharing Bend with the world,” she says.

The company is expanding with Costco, Safeway, 7/11 and other outlets to grow beyond the Pacific Northwest.

The taproom will stay exactly where it

is. The partners say they are pleasantly surprised with the taproom that is busy all day long. “Retail won’t change at all.

The only change that is occurring is in the manufacturing,” says Mitchell “This expansion will quadruple our brewery capacity,” says Danek. It will also be nice to bring everyone together again under one roof since we’ve had to have our office in another location away from the brewery,” she says.

The market is demanding more and Humm Kombucha is doing what it can to oblige the thirsty masses. This massive upgrade is much needed considering the growing popularity of the product in an exploding new beverage market.

Employees are excited about the expansion as well. “The amount of growth Humm has experienced in the past two

years is amazing. We’re excited to have the chance to expand and continue to share our love of kombucha with the world,” says lead brewer Eric Ohlrich.

“I believe with every ounce of my being that Humm is such a product of Bend,” says Mitchell. The success of the business that began in 2009 was almost immediate. The larger facility will help meet nationwide demand in the $600 million growing kombucha industry.

Bear Republic Brewing

New beers from the North and South are set to invade our region.

PRESENTS

THEWITH BALLROOM THIEVES SPECIAL GUEST TALL HEIGHTS APRIL 9TH - 7:00 PM SISTERS HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

T

he days are getting longer. The temps are warming up (sort of).

The scent of budding life is in the air, assuming it can make it through the snowflakes. Spring is officially here—and thanks to friendly local distributors like Bigfoot and Point Blank, it’s accompanied by an early harvest of new beer for Central Oregon.

One familiar face will lead the charge.

Bear Republic Brewing, based in Sonoma County north of San Francisco, is making a return to the region after an extended absence. This was, at first, due to a lack of brewing capacity as the Californian brewery expanded across the U.S. Then supply concerns due to the western drought made them pull out of many regions a year and a half ago. The strain has eased up since then, and soon local bottle shops will stock its award-winning, flagship Racer 5 IPA, in sixers wherever good beer is sold.

(Racer 5 forms the foundation for a line of heavier pales in bomber-size bottles, from the Racer X double IPA to the somewhat drier and citrus-flavored Café Racer 15.)

Joining Bear Republic in the bars and

shops of Bend is Acoustic Ales, another California regional favorite, but one that’s been a stranger to Oregon up until now. Founded in 2012, Acoustic occupies a sprawling old building just north of downtown San Diego that once housed the Mission Brewery, one of the city’s oldest before Prohibition shut it down in 1919. (A new Mission opened up in 2007 in nearby Petco Park, home of the Padres.)

Acoustic’s Run for the Hills double IPA was spotted on tap at Brother Jon’s Alehouse last weekend, and Bend can look forward to its quality. Starting out with a big blast of grapefruit-type citrus on the nose, it continues on with strong hoppy bitterness to the bottom of the glass without ravaging the palate too much.

It’s not all big guys, either. Debuting soon in Central Oregon is beer from Sound Brewery in Poulsbo, Washington, a small town located across the sound from Seattle. It’s small, but its reputation is not, with popular bottles like the Ursus Americanus stout and Dubbel Entendre Belgian-style ale. This is an opportunity to celebrate spring by trying something new locally. SW

Whoever Wins, We Lose

Batman and Superman together save nothing

By Jared Rasic 25

This is not a fun superhero movie. Superman is cold, distant and there is zero character development or personality.

Henry Cavill was delightful in the new “Man from UNCLE” flick and pretty great on Showtime’s “The Tudors,” so it’s a shame he is cast as the flat and bland Superman. Even as Clark Kent he is devoid of charisma and about as exciting as a loaf of white bread.

Batman is a ball of dangerous rage and Affleck does justice to the role, but everything else is so tone deaf and boring that it’s just glitter on a sinking ship.

See Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice."

“B

atman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” is not a movie. It might look like a movie and its 151-minute run time suggests that things of importance happen, but not really. “BvS” is actually a two-and-a-half-hour trailer for the upcoming “Justice League” movie, packaged so viewers who are expecting something fun and entertaining might drop $20.

The story is simple, yet plot movement makes up the entire running time of the film. Superman (Henry Cavill) is catching grief for the amount of destruction he brought down on Metropolis and Smallville in “Man of Steel.” The government thinks Superman might need some sort of oversight, but really, they just want to know where his head is. Billionaire industrialist Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) was abused by his dad which made him quit believing in God, so he basically thinks one can either be a good person and weak or powerful and evil. He thinks Super-

man is going to destroy the world.

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne (a.k.a: The Batman; a.k.a.: Ben Affleck; a.k.a: Batfleck) watched Metropolis as it was destroyed from the ground, complete with heavy-handed 9/11 imagery. Wayne thinks that Superman is a dark and terrible alien god who must be stopped before the entire world burns at his whim. He is having full-blown insane visions of an apocalyptic future where Superman rules a scorched and dusty world. “BvS” takes place in a time after Wayne Manor has been destroyed by an unknown calamity and Robin murdered by a gleefully insane Joker. In other words, Wayne is in a bad place psychologically. Furthermore, the usually warm and balancing butler, Alfred Pennyworth, is a cold and bitter cypher of the character he normally is.

Lex Luthor manufactures a situation to get Batman and Superman to fight, but he also manufactures the supervillain Doomsday through around a dozen

pointless plot contrivances. This isn’t a spoiler since the trailer actually shows Luthor make Doomsday and set everything in motion, basically spoiling the entire through line of the movie. Every story beat in this movie is shown in the 120-second trailer.

This new DC Comics film universe imagines Batman’s Gotham City and Superman’s Metropolis across a bay from each other, yet neither city is stylized enough to be memorable. This Gotham doesn’t have the gothic creepiness of Tim Burton’s “Batman” films or Christopher Nolan’s Chicago-inspired vision of the city. This Metropolis is a non-descript metal and glass city that is shot lighter than Gotham is, but still has no character of its own.

DC Films has been jealous of Marvel Studios' business model for years, wishing they had their own extended universe to play around in. They keep trying to launch franchises like “Green Lantern”

FILM EVENTS

Amy Adams is wasted as Lois Lane, with Diane Lane, Lawrence Fishburne and Gal Gadot (as Wonder Woman) basically given extended cameos. Jesse Eisenberg is given more to do as a twitchy and excitable Lex Luthor, but his performance mashes up his Mark Zuckerberg with an impression of screenwriter Max Landis, creating a villain so annoying and shrill as to be borderline unwatchable.

Superhero movies don’t have to be fun, but they need to be actual movies and this one doesn’t qualify. There is no structure, with every scene leading to a completely unconnected one, rendering the entire film a formless void of beautifully composed shots with no center, as if the movie was a $250 million music video for a band that hasn’t recorded a song yet..

Everyone needs a little Puccini in life and “Madama Butterfly” will do nicely. This is in celebration of the Metropolitan Opera’s 10th anniversary of screening its work in high definition (HD).

and “Superman Returns,” only to find the most success in Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy and “Man of Steel.” Both series were successful portraying the DC Universe under a darker and more realistic lens, but “BvS” is a humorless exercise in excess. There are people getting shot in the face, caged sex slaves and just about every horrific manner of human depravity under the sun.

"Miracles from Heaven"

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic 27 MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2: We check back in on the happy couple we left 14 years ago. Now, Toula and Ian are sending their teenage daughter off to college and trying to figure out ways to rekindle the spark in their relationship. Also, they have another wedding to attend and this one promises to be bigger, fatter and Greeker than ever. For audiences that found the original charming, this trip back to the well will definitely do the trick. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

RACE: A new biopic about athlete Jesse Owens and his experiences at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. This should be uplifting, exciting and infuriating in equal measures and with director Stephen Hopkins (“Predator 2” and “Blown Away”), it will be visually sumptuous, too. An important story that everyone should know. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ALLEGIANT: The third (of four) films based on the Divergent series of Young Adult books.

Tris and Four and her people figured out that there is more beyond the fence than they thought, so this installment follows their first exploration of the larger world beyond. The second Divergent film was so terrible, it will be interesting to see if anyone other than book fans turn up for this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE: Batman and Superman live their lives and get in a fight and then team up with Wonder Woman to take out a monster. That’s pretty much it, but if the interest is still there for this 151-minute cinematic equivalent of the air getting let out of a balloon really slowly, then go for it. Even fans of the characters will not be appeased by this ridiculous mess of a movie. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

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

MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN: Jennifer Garner and Martin Henderson play a married couple whose daughter has an illness no doctors can identify. When the little girl falls and hits her head, her illness goes away.

Loosely based on a true story, this follows the style of book where someone who dies ends up speaking to someone in heaven.

Queen Latifah plays Angela, a waitress who befriends the family at the hospital. Produced by the 2014 “Heaven is for Real” team. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

RAMS: An Icelandic drama about two brothers who must reconcile their differences in order to save their ancestral sheep flock.

The brothers live next door to each other, but haven’t spoken in 40 years, so when a disease not only threatens their sheep, but the entire valley they live in, the past will be put aside in order to save their future. Tin Pan Theater WHERE TO INVADE NEXT: Michael Moore returns after a long hiatus to bring us some of his trademarked friendly activism.

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

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

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

ZOOTOPIA: One of the best animated films in years with a genuinely important message.

Zootopia is a place where all animals live together side by side, predators and prey, but when some bad stuff goes down, an unlikely duo teams up to find out what happened. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 13 / March 31, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

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

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

Hikes in the Columbia River Gorge

By Brian Jennings

Searching for an outdoor outing for youngsters? There are ample fishing opportunities in the area. Shevlin Park has one of the most popular kids-only ponds open to 17 and under, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says it’s beginning to stock the pond with bigger fish.

Kids are almost guaranteed to catch a fish at Shevlin and adults can assist.

At upper left, Balsamroot and lupine wildflowers near Tom McCall Preserve on Rowena Crest. Upper right & lower left photos, views along the Deschutes River State Park hike. At lower right is the late 1800s Harris Homestead found 12 miles upriver in The Deschutes River State Park. Photos by Brian Jennings.

S

easoned Oregon hikers and backpackers will often advise taking springtime hikes because they offer cooler weather and often an endless array of wildflowers, particularly in the Columbia River Gorge area.

Deschutes River State Recreation Area The Deschutes River State Recreation Area is a very popular place for hiking.

Located about 10 miles east of The Dalles on I-84, the park, which runs on either side of the Deschutes, is beginning to burst with wildflowers. The park is about a 2.5-hour drive north of Bend through communities such as Maupin, which offer great river access for rafters and anglers.

The DRSRA is open year-round and offers a diversity of outdoor activities.

It includes a well maintained bike path, boat ramp, and picnic and camping areas.

Campers have access to 34 sites which provide water and electricity. Additionally, 25 more primitive sites are found upriver that have water and restrooms nearby. Reservations for these spaces can be made online or by phone at 800-4525687.

The popular Atiyeh Deschutes River hiking trail meanders along the river and is shaded by alder trees in the summer and early fall. The area can be accessed by mountain bike and by horseback, although permits are required for horse access from March through June. Springtime offers not only wildflowers, but also

the canyon walls—often rising over 2,000 feet—are a beautiful shade of green that will last until the hot weather begins in June. Western Meadowlarks, the Oregon State bird, are often heard in the many meadows that flank the nationally and state designated scenic river.

Another popular destination in the recreation area is found at the end of the trail, approximately 11 miles upriver. The Harris Homestead, built in the late 1800s, offers hikers and bikers a look into the area’s rugged past. The formerly elegant wooden farmhouse is nearing its last days and will soon be nothing more than a heap of boards and rubble.

There is other history, too, of railroads competing to build lines on either side of the river. Approximately 5.5 miles into the hike sits an old rail car that offered sleeping quarters for rail workers and now provides emergency shelter for hikers. At about 6.5 miles along the trail, remains of the Free Bridge can be found.

Footings exist on the east side and in the middle of the river. On the west side of the river one can see railroad tracks weaving through the canyons.

Tom McCall Preserve The Tom McCall Preserve at Rowena is a 230-acre site located on the old Columbia River Gorge Scenic Highway, 11 miles east of Hood River. It offers one of Oregon’s best wildflower viewing opportunities. Named after the conservationist and popular Oregon Governor, the preserve

is located in a transition zone between the damp Cascade Mountains and the dry prairies to the east. It comes into bloom every spring, boasting more than 200 plant species. Here the Meadowlark seems to thrive. The preserve is managed in cooperation with the Nature Conservancy, Mayer State Park, and the U.S. Forest Service.

At the top of the McCall Trail are expansive views of the Columbia Gorge and Cascades. This is a hiking- only area and motorized travel and bicycles are not permitted. Hunting, camping and campfires are prohibited. No dogs are allowed into the area because the preserve is a safe haven for nesting birds.

There are two trail options and hikers are urged to stay on the trails. A one-mile plateau trail begins at the interpretive sign at the entrance to the Tom McCall Preserve. It crosses a plateau area to the cliff edges and encircles a permanent pond. A second trail, the two-mile McCall Point Trail, begins at the south side of the turnaround and offers a modest 1,000-foot increase in elevation. This trail is open May through October. Visitors should be aware of windy conditions, ticks, rattlesnakes, and poison oak, all of which can be avoided with care. With an abundance of wet weather, local residents say the spring wildflower season in the Columbia Gorge should be one of the best in recent years. SW

Another accessible fishing hole is the Pine Nursery Pond operated by the Bend Park & Recreation Department. It’s stocked regularly

by ODFW. Unless frozen over, both ponds are accessible year round.

ODFW reminds parents that kids 12 to 17 years of age need to be licensed to fish in Oregon. The cost is $10, and licenses are available at most outdoor stores.

Fly fishing lessons Fly fishing is one of the most popular pursuits in Central Oregon and Central Oregon Community College (COCC) offers a beginner’s course on two upcoming Saturdays, April 30 and May 7 from 9:30 am to noon.

The course will provide a general overview of equipment, terminology, and basic knots. Much time will be spent practice-casting on grass.

Some materials are needed for this class and locations will be emailed to those who sign up. Register at: cocc.edu/continuinged or call 541383-7270. Cost for the course is $79.

Crooked River excursion If a refresher course is needed, COCC offers a fly fishing excursion to the Crooked River on June 11 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. This course will begin on grass practicing techniques, then move to the river for the afternoon. A current fishing license is required and participants are asked to bring $20 for flies and leader. Cost of this course is $179. Both the beginning and the river class will be conducted rain or shine. SW

More courses for the summer can be found online at cocc.edu/continuinged/ seasonalsports.

HAPPY 88TH BIRTHDAY, JIM!

The Life and Times of a Golden Eagle Family

T

he Central Oregon country is blessed with people who are always ready to pitch in, and “get the job done!”

That’s why the free cam streaming the only life-and-times of a golden eagle nest is up and running again this year: www.

GoldenEagleCam.com.

As anyone who has set up this kind of system knows, it ain’t easy, and it does cost money. The money part is being taken care of by the East Cascade Audubon Society (ECAS), based in Bend. ECAS President, Ken Hashagen knows how exciting it is for anyone to open up their computer at breakfast time and be able to watch a golden eagle feeding her babies breakfast.

Technical aspects of the project included building a website and it took Tony Kay a lot of head-scratching to figure out— through trial and error—that the project needed a static IP address for the webcam to stream optimally. That required signing up for a streaming service, and getting a separate Yellowknife account and dish that’s dedicated to the Eagle Cam, at a considerable expense.

Jim Hammond of the Sisters Astronomy Club put in a lot of hours to bring the eagle into focus, and is a whiz at adapting telescopes to look at things other than stars. He hooked the original camera (that was first capturing the eagle images 14 years ago) to a Meade 1000 mm focal length (FL) telescope with a 4-inch aperture and an adapter converting it to about 600 mm. The setup is about

ful gazebo on the hillside overlooking the eagle nest. He topped that off by hauling many wheelbarrows of concrete to make a pier that comes up through the floor of the structure, creating a solid base for the telescope/camera assembly.

When Wolftree sold out, that could have been an end to the eagle cam, except for Lawrence. She took one look at the gazebo, knew the story of the eagle cam and asked Babcock to leave everything in place as she wanted to get it up and running again.

1/4 mile from the nest looking across Whychus Canyon, where thermal effects can be quite dramatic as the bottom of the canyon is about 150 feet below the line of sight. As a result, it’s Leslie Lawrence who keeps the camera focused day-in and day-out.

After hours and hours of aforementioned head-scratchin’ and writing checks, the telescope and camera is—as we speak— streaming data to Yellow Knife and out to the world, with the invaluable assistance of Lawrence and Kay, who babysit the whole electronic assembly.

This project began 14 years ago when Janet Zuelke and Forrest Babcock owned the land the camera is on, which is now owned by Lawrence. It was the scene of the tragic death of a newly hatched

golden eagle that blew out of its nest.

This sparked the beginning of the only known golden eagle family video streaming around the world. As Zuelke related the story to Babcock, an optical engineer, they hatched the idea of setting up a telescope and camera, so they could watch the nest full time from their home TV. Babcock put up a tent on the hillside below their home and used it as a shelter for his ingenious telescope and camera setup. In the meantime, Wolftree, a local conservation group based in Sisters since 1994, joined the project to broadcast the video.

Eventually the couple sold the property and moved to another part of the Northwest, but not before Babcock, with back-breaking dedication, built a beauti-

Last year, Hammond of the Sisters Astronomy Club had a big telescope donated to the club that he thought would accept the TV camera and went to work.

After countless hours of trial and error, he finally hit the jackpot and captured an image he could send to Lawrence’s living room TV. Lawrence, with technical help from Kay, jumped in and got the images streaming again, with much effort and money out of her own pocket. Lawrence and her helpers contacted ECAS, which has now taken over the long-term financial part of the eagle cam.

The golden eagle cam Zuelke and Babcock started so many years ago is still streaming for the enjoyment and education of people worldwide who may have wondered what goes on in the life of a golden eagle. SW Go to: www.GoldenEagleCam.com and enjoy.

The ECAS website is www.ecaudubon.org.

Consider making a contribution to help defray the costs of operating the eagle cam.

ADVICE GODDESS We’ll Always Have Parasite

—Stressed-Out Stepmother If you had the traditional kind of parasite, you could just put a lit match to its butt.

Welcome to the bottomless hole of wrongheaded empathy—the daddy guilt version of that “bottomless cup of coffee” that (if you ask politely) the Denny’s waitress will keep refilling until you finally die in the booth. Obviously, your husband means well. Unfortunately, he’s engaging in what’s called “pathological altruism.” The primary researcher on this, Dr. Barbara Oakley, explains it as an intention to help that actually ends up doing harm (sometimes to both the do-gooder and the do-goodee).

Enabling can feel so right in the moment, Oakley explains—in part because we get something out of it: activation of the same regions of the brain that “light up” from drugs and gambling. (Say hello to the “helper’s high.”) Refusing to “help,” on the other hand, is uncomfortable and tends to lead to ugly interactions, like screaming matches if Daddy says no to putting his retirement money into retiring last season’s Versace for this season’s Vuitton.

Being judiciously helpful takes asking the feel-bad questions, like “What’s the likely result of consistently attaching a garden hose to our bank account and washing away any consequences from Princess Partyhardy’s actions?” That’s a question that should get answered before she gets her fourth DUI—possibly leading to a need for somebody to pick up not only the cost of the fancy DUI lawyer but the pieces of some cute 5-year-old from along the side of the road.

You can keep telling your husband this until your teeth fall out, but because of his emotional ensnarement—along with the fear and anger that you’ll try to stop him—he’ll probably just fight harder to go along with her little-girl-voiced shakedowns. And though, with your emotional distance, you have a clearer eye on how your step-sponge is playing her dad, there are surely a few rationality-eating emotions bubbling up in you. There’s got to be anger (because your money’s getting tossed down the drunken-spendy prin-

Fear and anger make for the worst argument partners. They trigger the amygdala, a central player in the brain’s threat-detection circuit. It, in turn, sounds the alarm, triggering the release of fight-or-flight hormones and shutting down functions not needed to battle or bolt, like— whoops—higher reasoning. And more bad news: When you keep repeating a behavior, your brain cells go, “Wait—we do this all the time; let’s put that on auto.” And this is what has happened here—which is to say, you two could be doing permanent damage to your relationship.

Advice columnists tend to squawk like parrots, “Therapy! Therapy!” (Like that option wouldn’t otherwise occur to anybody.) However, in your situation—because you two can’t seem to dial down the “bitter battle” —there is an intermediary you should consider engaging: a mediator.

(Look for a marital one at Mediate.com) Mediation is dispute resolution. It’s issue-focused, so it’s worlds faster than therapy. (The mediator won’t take a month to figure out how you really felt when you were 6 and you didn’t get that cookie.)

The mediator’s job is to dial down the emotional temperature and get you two listening to each other—to the point where you understand each other’s feelings. (This is how you come to empathize with somebody—which motivates you to act in their interest and not just in your own.) The mediator then guides you to come to a decision as a couple and can help you set up a framework for discussing emotionally charged issues so date night doesn’t devolve into hate night.

Gigabit Speed Will BLOW Your Hair Back…

Still, it’s important to recognize that every problem isn’t perfectly solvable.

What’s essential, however, is the “C-word” —compromise: understanding that you ultimately win by being willing to lose a little. This means accepting that you won’t always get the exact outcome you want -which, in this case, would probably involve picking up a time machine at Best Buy so you could go persuade your stepdaughter’s mother to have a purse dog instead of a child.

When I got remarried, I inherited a stepdaughter. At the time, I was happy about this. Though she and my husband had been estranged for many years, I was instrumental in getting them to reconcile. I’ve come to regret this. She is a rageaholic, spendaholic party girl. She has three DUIs and an extravagant lifestyle that’s financially draining her dad and me.

Though I have no problem cutting her off, my husband can’t say no to his little girl—which has us on opposing ends of a bitter battle.

Subsidized Housing Proposals for Middle Class Wage Earners

The common problem is lack of affordable housing for lower and middle income wage earners. According to a recent article in Realtor magazine, rents in 2015 rose six percent nationally, the highest rate in seven years, which is three times the average wage growth. If supply is not keeping up with demand for new housing units, housing inventories will continue to decrease and rents and home prices will rise.

Some interesting ideas came out this week from New York and Palo Alto, addressing the affordable housing crisis. The Palo Alto City Council has voted to study a proposal to subsidize middle class housing, which is defined as families earning $150,000 to $250,000 per year. The plan is to build smaller downtown units along with mixed use retail and residential units for people who live near public transit and

35

don’t own cars. The article states that lots with small two bedroom/one bath homes are worth between $1.5 and $2 million in one neighborhood as teardowns. In Bend, teardown homes in the downtown area sell in the same price range as new midrange homes, which are unaffordable to many who work downtown, as renters or homeowners.

In the meantime, New York has unveiled a plan that would require builders to keep one in every four apartments built in designated areas as affordable. In return, the city would provide incentives to private developers such as loosening zoning restrictions and other benefits.

Spring into Wellness Plans!

It will be interesting to see if these proposals are approved and how they work out. It’s indicative of how serious our affordable housing problem is nationwide.

Though the situation in Bend is not as extreme as these cities, we have many of the same issues with an unmet need for affordable housing for middle class workers. SW

ASTROLOGY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “People only get really interesting when they start to rattle the bars of their cages,” says philosopher Alain de Botton. If that’s true, Taurus, you must be on the verge of becoming very interesting. Metaphorically speaking, you’re not just rattling the bars of your cage. You’re also smacking your tin cup against the bars and trying to saw through them with your plastic knife. APRIL FOOL! I lied.

You’re not literally in a prison cell. And I got a bit carried away with the metaphor. But there is a grain of truth to what I said. You are getting close to breaking free of at least some of your mind-forged manacles. And it’s making you more attractive and intriguing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If I had to decide what natural phenomenon you most closely resemble right now, I’d consider comparing you to a warm, restless breeze or a busily playful dolphin. But my first choice would be the mushrooms known as Schizophyllum commune.

They’re highly adaptable: able to go dormant when the weather’s dry and spring to life when rain comes. They really get around, too, making their homes on every continent except Antarctica. But the main reason I’d link you with them is that they come in over 28,000 different sexes. Their versatility is unprecedented. APRIL FOOL! I exaggerated a bit. It’s true that these days you’re polymorphous and multifaceted and well-rounded.

But you’re probably not capable of expressing 28,000 varieties of anything.

CANCER (June 21July 22): “Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting,” warns Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. If that’s true, why bother? Why expend all your precious yearning if the net result won’t even satisfy your yearning?! That’s why I advise you to ABANDON YOUR BELOVED PLANS! Save your energy for trivial wishes. That way you won’t be disappointed when they are fulfilled in unanticipated ways. APRIL FOOL! I was messing with you. It’s true that what you want won’t arrive in the form you’re expecting. But I bet the result will be even better than what you expected.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re due to make a pilgrimage, aren’t you? It might be time to shave your head, sell your possessions, and head out on a long trek to a holy place where you can get back in touch with what the hell you’re doing here on this planet. APRIL FOOL! I was kidding about the head-shaving and possessions-dumping. On the other hand, there might be value in embarking on a less melodramatic pilgrimage. I think you’re ready to seek radical bliss of a higher order—and get back in touch with what the hell you’re doing here on this planet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Are you ready to fight the monster? Do you have the courage and strength and stamina and guile to overcome the ugly beast that’s blocking the path to the treasure? If not, turn around and head back to your comfort zone until you’re better prepared. APRIL FOOL! I lied. There is a monster, but it’s not the literal embodiment of a beastly adversary. Rather, it’s inside you. It’s an unripe part of yourself that needs to be taught and tamed and cared for. Until you develop a better relationship with it, it will just keep testing you.

(P.S. Now would be a good time to develop a better relationship with it.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your advice for the near future comes from poet Stephen Dunn. “If the Devil sits down,” he says, “offer companion-

ship, tell her you’ve always admired her magnificent, false moves.” I think that’s an excellent plan, Libra! Maybe you’ll even be lucky enough to make the acquaintance of many different devils with a wide variety of magnificent, false moves. APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, I think you should avoid contact with all devils, no matter how enticing they might be. Now is a key time to surround yourself with positive influences.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1841, a British

BOBBYE ROTELLO, Experienced, Gentle, Effective

medical journal prescribed the following remedy for the common cold: “Nail a hat on the wall near the foot of your bed, then retire to that bed, and drink spirits until you see two hats.”

My expert astrological analysis reveals that this treatment is likely to cure not just the sniffles, but also any other discomforts you’re suffering from, whether physical or emotional or spiritual. So I hope you own a hat, hammer, and nails.

APRIL FOOL! I lied. The method I suggested probably won’t help alleviate what ails you. But here’s a strategy that might: Get rid of anything that’s superfluous, rotten, outdated, or burdensome.

- Heal pain or Planter Fasciitis - Flat feet or Fallen arches - Ball of foot pain or Morton’s neuroma - Achilles tendonitis - Bunions - Back, Hip & Knee pain

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To begin your oracle, I’ll borrow the words of author Ray Bradbury: “May you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days, and out of that love, remake a world.” I have reason to believe that this optimistic projection has a good chance of coming true for you. Imagine it, Sagittarius: daily swoons of delight and rapture from now until the year 2071. APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of.

It would be foolish to predict that you’ll be giddy with amorous feelings nonstop for the next 54 years and 10 months. On the other hand, I don’t think it’s unrealistic for you to expect a lot of that sweet stuff over the course of the next three weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): “I am tired of being brave,” groaned Anne Sexton in one of her poems. “I’m sick of following my dreams,” moaned comedian Mitch Hedberg, adding, “I’m just going to ask my dreams where they’re going and hook up with them later.” In my opinion, Capricorn, you have every right to unleash grumbles similar to Hedberg’s and Sexton’s. APRIL FOOL! The advice I just gave you is only half-correct. It’s true that you need and deserve a respite from your earnest struggles. Now is indeed a good time to take a break so you can recharge your spiritual batteries. But don’t you dare feel sorry for yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1991, hikers in the Italian Alps discovered the well-preserved corpse of a Bronze Age hunter. Buried in the frigid terrain, the man who came to be known as Otzi the Iceman had been there for 5,000 years.

Soon the museum that claimed his body began receiving inquiries from women who wanted to be impregnated with Otzi’s sperm. I think this is an apt metaphor for you, Aquarius. Consider the possibility that you might benefit from being fertilized by an influence from long ago.

APRIL FOOL! I was just messing with you. It’s true you can generate good mojo by engaging with inspirational influences from the past. But I’d never urge you to be guided by a vulgar metaphor related to Otzi’s sperm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Caligula was an eccentric Roman emperor who had a physical resemblance to a goat. He was sensitive about it. That’s why he made it illegal for anyone to refer to goats in his company. I mention this, Pisces, because I’d like to propose a list of words you should forbid to be used in your presence during the coming weeks: “money,” “cash,” “finances,” “loot,” “savings,” or “investments.”

Why? Because I’m afraid it would be distracting, even confusing or embarrassing, for you to think about these sore subjects right now.

APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is a perfect time for you to be focused on getting richer quicker.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to my astrological analysis, you would benefit profoundly from taking a ride in a jet fighter plane 70,000 feet above the earth. In fact, I think you really need to experience weightlessness as you soar faster than the speed of sound. Luckily, there’s an organization, MiGFlug (migflug.com), that can provide you with this healing thrill. (I just hope you can afford the $18,000 price tag.)

APRIL FOOL! I do in fact think you should treat yourself to unprecedented thrills and transcendent adventures. But I bet you can accomplish that without being quite so extravagant.

BEND’S PREMIERE DOWNTOWN DISPENSARY

T

hanks to the War on Drugs, America now has the highest incarceration rate in the world. In the summer of 1969, President Richard M. Nixon called the use of illegal drugs like cannabis a growing menace and a serious national threat to the personal health and safety of millions of Americans.

Nixon declared illegal drugs “public enemy number one” in the United States and proposed legislation that Congress enacted the following year as the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. This law established the still-current federal policy on cannabis, which states that it is a dangerous substance with no medical value.

Arrests for cannabis offenses increased substantially throughout the 1970s despite a 1972 recommendation from the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse that Congress legalize possession and sale of small amounts of cannabis.

In the early 1980s, Congress increased criminal penalties for growing, selling, and possessing cannabis, and by the early 1990s arrests for cannabis-related offenses skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.

In 1986, Congress enacted mandatory minimum sentences for cannabis-related offenses, resulting in even longer sentences. The case of Weldon Angelos reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case. Angelos was sentenced to a minimum of 55 to 63 years in prison in 2004 for selling a total of $350 worth of cannabis to a police informant.

In 2009, the Obama administration decided that the term “War on Drugs” is “counter-productive” and stopped using it, but it was a change in name only. This year, the American government will spend $51 billion on the War on Drugs, according to the Drug Policy Alliance.

As of 2010, 52 percent of all drug arrests are for cannabis. The vast majority of those arrests, 88 percent, are people with small amounts of cannabis, and despite equal rates of use, blacks are 3.7 times more likely than whites to be arrested for cannabis.

Last week, Harpers Magazine published remarks about the War on Drugs by one of its key architects, John Ehrlichman, President Nixon’s lawyer and close advisor. He explained that the campaign intentionally set out to vilify hippies and blacks as a way for Nixon to win and keep the White House. “Did we know we were lying about drugs? Of course we did,” he said.

It remains to be seen whether Ehrlichman’s acknowledgement will spur any change in federal law or policy. According to the World Prison Population List released in 2013, there are 716 people incarcerated for every 100,000 of the national population in the U.S., representing 22 percent of the world’s prisoners.

The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics reported 1 in 110 adults in the U.S. incarcerated in 2013, with 1 in 35 adults in jail, prison, on probation or parole. SW
