OPINION

In the runup to the next election, don’t let “moderates” off the hook

n Washington, D.C., there’s a distinct line between those who claim to support the president, and those “moderate” Republicans who, while perhaps don’t overtly blast the president, do distance themselves from the chicanery of the administration. It’s easy for many to fall on one side or the other of that situation; the president makes himself difficult to love. Still, we expect more from Republican leaders at that level, who should, even when the president does not, keep the interests of the majority at heart. As is the case in many things, what exists on the national stage also exists on a smaller scale on the local one. In that, we’d like to see more activism on the part of moderate Republicans in our area. Last month, the Deschutes County Republicans hosted a speaker who held decidedly extreme anti-Muslim views. The DCR also recently hosted an anti-immigrant speaker, representing a group known to be associated with white supremacists. The group, Oregonians for Immigration Reform, has been designated a “nativist extremist” group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. You might have heard about these events on event pages—but you didn’t hear about them from some of the most prominent Republicans in our area. Rep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend, a candidate for governor, has said little to nothing in response to the presence of these inflammatory speakers in Central Oregon. Nor has Cheri Helt, a current school board member running for House District 54. We have endorsed these candidates during past elections, exactly because they’ve professed to hold moderate views that we feel could

align with a large portion of the electorate in Central Oregon. But being a moderate doesn’t mean simply hiding in the shadows when potentially-contentious issues arise. Moderates, especially in a region so squarely divided between blue and red, should be at the vanguard of the movement for measured, thoughtful dialogue that is free of the vitriol and divisive rhetoric we are currently seeing at the top levels of our government. It’s easy to say, “It’s an election year,” in response to this argument; to argue that the moderates among us are hedging their bets ahead of the May primary and the November general election. We understand that in an election year, moderate Republicans feel the need to “go right” to satisfy “the base.” However, silence is a covert endorsement of these positions and voters deserve to know exactly where our local candidates stand. Candidates in these times need to be brave enough to lead, and to share their views, and if truly “moderate,” that will likely resonate with a large number of people in our region. While events on the national stage continue to devolve, our local politicians should be better than that. There are candidates in the Oregon governor’s race, in the Deschutes county commission race—and in other races—who would like to piggyback on the president’s platform, but we believe history will not look favorably upon those individuals. In a region such as ours, moderate Republicans—and Democrats—should be leading the charge in developing and sharing their views on sound, thoughtful, policies that benefit the majority. SW

NW 14TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION: ZONE 3 Dear 15th Street Neighbors (especially those between Ithaca and Galveston), I would like to apologize for my increased usage of your lovely street. Alas, my normal 14th Street route has been blocked by the obvious construction (not even a single local access only option). Nonetheless, your sleepy little street, which sweet children playing, and couples walking their dogs, has turned into one covered in dust with more traffic than designed, and certainly more congestion than for which you signed up. For those of you who may not know, 15th Street is one of those where trees remind you of their presence by the rippled pavement, and a few graveled blocks are left untouched by the City. Now, when I leave my neighborhood I am reminded of the true impact of traffic patterns and construction. The once pristine cars are now caked with dust, and front lawns favorited by children are vacant. This sight causes me to slow to a crawl in hopes of reducing the dust and say a silent apology. I am so sorry for polluting your beautifully little street. Sincerely, Your neighbor who would much rather be traveling via 14th Street — Sami K

According to Aesop’s fable, a lad tending his sheep in the fields thought it humorous to run home and cry “wolf!” “wolf!” The villagers rushed to the field to save their sheep. But, there was no wolf. The boy laughed because he had tricked his neighbors. A week later he thought it would again be fun to run home crying “wolf!” Again concerned neighbors rushed to the fields but, again, no wolf. Even later, the youngster still thought crying “wolf” was still a funny joke, as he rushed to the village for the third time. “Wolf!” Wolf!” he cried loudly and repeatedly. But this time nobody paid attention to him. Nobody believed him. Of course, he had to return to his flock. To his dismay, in his absence, a real wolf had killed many sheep. His lying had led to this disaster. Why repeat an ancient story about telling the truth? We all know the tale. It is because the President of the United States, the most powerful person in the world, lies constantly…constantly without remorse or punishment. Actually the shepard boy did not care not for his flock. The sheep bore the terrible price for his lies. Lying Trump cares not for his nation. Are we deafened to lies? You and I are already in jeopardy. The governance of this country now borders on the insane. The consequences are ours to bear. —Leif Hatlestad

EARTH DAY I am looking forward to Earth Day on April 15 where the citizens of Bend will be encouraged to discuss important topics including the following: At the current growth rate, Bend’s population is destined to grow to over 180,000 before the end of the Century. What steps can be taken to slow this growth in order to protect our surrounding environment and loss of habitat? Thousands of tourists visit the area every month creating wear and tear on the area’s trails and campsites. What vision is being put forth by our political leaders to wean us off a tourist economy? The overuse use of plastic is a huge problem in terms of disposal and its impact on wildlife. How can ordinary citizens influence companies to discontinue the use of plastic? O’ my gosh, I just suffered a time warp. This is 2018, not 1970, where such topics were discussed in many communities. Bend will celebrate by having a parade of “animals.” Many will drive their three or four children (exceeds population sustainability) to the celebration in their gas guzzling SUV. Afterwards, they will return to a 3,000, or more, square ft. home. If they decide to recycle some of their waste, they will find the recycling companies are not taking an increasing number of materials because other countries are now refusing to take some of our waste. Too cynical? Then consider how much environmental progress has been made in the world since 1970. True, we have higher

water and air standards. But consider how much land has being paved over by development since the 1970s, with no end in sight. The U.S. population has increased by over 25 million since 1970 and will reach 350 million in a few years. How much solitude do you find at Smith Rock compared to the 1970s? How many of your favorite fishing holes on the Deschutes now have a home for you to contend with? How many of you wish for your children to live in a large urban community with the inevitable increase in crime, gangs, traffic congestion, crowded classrooms and loss of community? What is the future for elephants, tigers and numerous ocean animals, or our local mule deer, at current rates of environmental degradation? With this region and most of the world warming, how much leadership is being provided by state and local politicians? Maybe “Earth Death” would be more appropriate. —Dick Harris

Inside Dawn’s House WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 5, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A peek inside a home of women supporting women through recovery By K.M. Collins

nside a comfortable living room, the women of Dawn’s House divulge their hopes for the coming year, and lament some of their past choices. “I want to connect with my family more,” one girl shares. “I want to lose weight,” another says. These resolutions are not unlike those heard in any other home—but this home is a little different. Dawn Holland, residence founder, 44-year-old single mother, recovering alcoholic and hospitality business management major, knew there was a need in Central Oregon for a public, non-religion-based, female-only sober living facility. Since achieving that goal in 2014, the nonprofit has opened a second house and can now accommodate up to 15 displaced women in recovery. In her own battle with alcoholism and a pill addiction, Holland says she was brought to complete despair and homelessness, living in her car in Seattle for nearly two years. Her inpatient treatment started in Redmond—the beginning of a long battle for sobriety. After 22 detox stays and four Oregon inpatient treatment programs, Holland had all but given up. “For me, home life was the key,” Holland reflects. “Once I found sober living, I found eight other women working on the same thing… It saved my life. After the rehabilitation centers, I would be kicked back with my same drinking friends. Having the daily accountability and support of other ladies in recovery is priceless. Essentially, what Dawn’s House does, is teach these ladies how to live and get back into the fold of society.” Holland gives recovering women further incentive to stay sober because they must maintain sobriety to keep their housing. “Residents may have a record or no rental history, they may be in a situation that could make it difficult to find housing. If a woman stays sober, there is no timeline for her to move out of Dawn’s House, she can stay as long as she wants.” Criteria for living in the house is 30 days of sobriety (Dawn’s House is not a detox facility), completion of chores and adherence to a curfew, finding a job

within 30 days, attending outpatient treatment, house and 12-step meetings, and engaging in one’s own well-being and recovery. All this is tracked in a weekly accountability log. Despite the house structure geared to help each woman succeed, Holland notes two residents relapsed recently. “Christmas is a tough time.” On that note, one resident says, “I never thought I was hurting others in my addiction, I just thought I was hurting myself. Being on the other side, seeing the relapse, has been a good eye opener for me. A role reversal.” The need is great and the waitlist is perpetual, Holland says. Each week the home receives at least 15 inquiries for the beds already filled from institutions including the Bethlehem Inn, Best Care Treatment Center, and parole and probation organizations. With 55 women assisted to date, the reward of helping with reunifications with children and family members and hearing residents refer to the home as a sisterhood, Holland says she’s fulfilled. She also celebrates that 88 percent of the women in her housing acquired gainful employment, enrolled in college, gained driver’s licenses, GEDs, and successfully navigated health care. “It isn’t just transitional here. It’s a home. They have a whole group that is sober and they keep each other on track.” Back in the living room, one woman shares, “Re-entering the world of work is challenging. Recently I was emptying alcohol bottles in a room I was cleaning for my job and I knew if I needed support I could call or text one of the girls and they would be there for me... It’s a blessing.” As the interview closed, a cheerful, glowing resident with a swelling belly said her house mates already knew the sex of her unborn child because she let them peek at the hospital paperwork. Surrounded by smiling attentive women, she said, “Sometimes I wonder how many people know about recovery homes… Sometimes I wonder why I am the addict and not my sister. But then again, she struggles with her weight... My disease is alcohol, but someone else’s might be cancer.” SW

Urban Renewal for Central Bend? By Chris Miller

Chris Miller

City Council will listen to public comments, then vote on priorities April 18

ccording to Portland State University’s Population Resource Center, Bend’s population is predicted to be over 130,000 by 2035, and nearly 200,000 by the year 2065. In a town that’s roughly 33 square miles, the challenge is already apparent these days: where to house all the people? Expanding the Urban Growth Boundary—approved by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development in December 2016, then unanimously approved by Bend’s City Council and the Board of Deschutes County Commissioners—is one solu-

“It’s a very common misconception that urban renewal somehow changes the amount that any individual property owner would be paying, and it does not—it does not—it just affects who gets the money and how it can be spent.” — LORELEI JUNTUNEN tion. In addition to growing the city at its undeveloped borders, another part of that solution involves adding infill within parts of Bend that have low population densities—such as the 206acre Bend Central District, bordered by Revere Avenue to the north, the train tracks to the south and west and Fourth Street to the east. Councilor Nathan Boddie quipped during the March 21 City Council meeting the population density of the BCD is roughly one person per acre now. “So, I mean, lower than farm land in the Dakotas or something—so there’s some room in the middle of town to put people,” Boddie said. Brian Rankin, the City of Bend’s planning manager, said during that meeting—channeling ex-mayor Jim Clinton—that you could technically assume that the whole 20-year land

supply could be made up in the core of Bend, if the policy direction from the council at the time were to say, “Yeah, that’s what we want.” According to Central Oregon LandWatch, many barriers within the BCD discourage new investments in housing and infrastructure—and serve as a block between the east and west sides of Bend. Crossing Third Street, the railroad tracks and the Bend Parkway are challenging for families, customers and businesses, according to COLW. And then there’s the dank Franklin Avenue crossing where cyclists choose between the tunnel or battling cars through a narrow underpass. However, advocates say the creation of an Urban Renewal Area in the BCD and nearby areas—such as KorPine, the westside industrial area bordered by Arizona to the north, Scalehouse Drive to the south, Bend Parkway to the east and Bond Street to the west—could fund projects such as streetscapes, safe crossing areas across the Parkway for bikes and pedestrians and infrastructure to support vertical development. It could also tackle part of the affordable housing crisis in Bend, COLW contends in a March letter to the City Council. They’re among groups encouraging the council to pursue the notion of an Urban Renewal Area in the BCD. “The idea behind urban renewal is

that you have access to additional funds that allow you to invest in an area for the purpose of growing the tax base above and beyond what you would otherwise have gotten,” said Lorelei Juntunen, a project director at ECONorthwest, who spoke at the Council’s work session on March 21. “So, infrastructure projects that are necessary to add capacity to allow additional density. For example: storefront improvement projects that let new businesses thrive and grow— those type of projects that otherwise you might not be able to fund. So, the idea is that everyone’s better off over time as a result of these investments.” Urban renewal is a complicated tool and not a “silver bullet,” cautioned Juntunen, who summarized Oregon Revised Statue 457—which deals specifically with urban renewal—for the council. According to EcoNorthwest, urban renewal goes like this: first comes a pre-feasibility study, which shows “opportunity areas” that face barriers to development, considered “blight” defined by ORS 457 as, “areas that, by reason of deterioration, faulty planning, inadequate or improper facilities, deleterious land use or the existence of unsafe structures, or any combinations of these factors, are detrimental to the safety, health or welfare of the community.” The primary evidence of blight in the Central District, according to

Agreeing to Less Leaders at the Bend Park and Recreation District indicate being in favor. “In general, the Park District supports TIF as long as we are included in helping establish the project list that the TIF plans to fund,” Don Horton, BPRD’s executive director told the Source. “In most cases, there are projects that benefit parks in these project areas. The TIF would need to help fund the Parks projects in the same way it helps to fund streets and other infrastructure projects. The net benefit for all taxing entities is that the tax base will grow over the lifespan of the taxing district and produce greater tax revenue when the life of the district ends. In theory, that is a good thing.” Juntunen said her group looked at multiple areas for urban renewal and found the greatest potential in the Central District and KorPine. “The reason that those areas have the best potential is that, well, for one thing, there’s already more existing development there now, which means they’re not entirely reliant on new development for incremental revenue growth because the existing properties continue to increase, according to Measure 5 and Measure 50 at roughly 3 percent per year. That 3 percent helps to provide some stability for the revenue in the area, and makes it less volatile and less dependent on new construction,” Juntunen said. The Bend City Council will listen to public comment on the urban renewal area proposal Wednesday, April 4, during its regular 7 p.m. meeting, and will vote on the issue during its April 18 council meeting.

A movement toward tax increment financing and an urban renewal area to help grow the city’s central district

EcoNorthwest’s presentation, is inadequate infrastructure—lacking safe, multimodal transportation connections across the Parkway and railroad tracks, and underutilized land. The area contains a large number of surface parking lots and many older industrialized buildings that have low improvementto-land-value ratios, the group alleges. In the URA scenario, leaders draw a boundary for the URA, and then it’s time to talk money, in the form of tax increment financing. As the website Smartgrowthamerica. org defines it: “TIF is a term for a process in which municipalities use a portion of future tax revenue from a given area to promote development in that area. This is not a tax increase to property owners, just a redistribution of the amount of growth in tax revenue.” “It’s a very common misconception that urban renewal somehow changes the amount that any individual property owner would be paying, and it does not—it does not—it just affects who gets the money and how it can be spent,” Juntunen said during the meeting. There are side effects to TIF, however. During the operation of the urban renewal plan, overlapping taxing districts, such as schools, parks, libraries and emergency services, forego any increase in property taxes within the UGA, according to ECO’s presentation.

After a sobering audit on the foster care and child welfare systems in Oregon, the leader of Central Oregon’s DHS office still has hope for the future By Judy Stiegler

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 5, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Wake Up Call

AprilisisChild ChildAbuse Abuse April PreventionMonth Month Prevention

hen Pat Carey began his journey as a Child Protective Services worker in Marion County 28 years ago, he never guessed he’d look back at those times as, “the good old days.” As Carey discussed in a recent interview, it was a time when caseworkers in the field could actually do casework. Unfortunately for children in the child welfare system in Oregon, it was a different time, indeed. It was a time when the next senior caseworker to Carey had 11 years of experience, when there were caseworkers with up to 31 years of experience mentoring those starting out in the field, such as himself, where junior workers were surrounded by a wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom in the field, Carey relates. In his day as a caseworker, caseworkers needed seven to 10 years of experience to be competitive for a management or supervisory position. Carey has been the Region 10 Director for the Department of Human Services, which encompasses the local Office of Child Welfare, for nearly 18 years. Region 10 includes Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties. When we spoke in early March, the office had had a child welfare supervisory position open for over a year. The office also had eight casework vacancies at that time. Sixty percent of staff at the Region’s Child Welfare Office had an experience rate of eighteen months or less, according to Carey, adding that DHS has lost nearly 50 percent of its district managers over the past three years. A Sobering Audit Shortages such as those were part of the sobering audit done on Oregon’s foster care system, conducted by the Oregon Secretary of State’s Audits Division, released in January. To say the

63-page audit was blunt in its review and critique of DHS, child welfare and the Oregon foster care system would be an understatement. The findings of the audit focused on three areas. First, the audit highlighted the “systemic management shortcomings,” which ultimately has had a negative impact on the “agency’s ability to protect child safety,” as well as creating a high-risk situation for children served. The audit pointed to chaos and inconsistency within the management structure of DHS and child welfare alike. Second, the audit focused on the shortage of foster care placements “to meet the needs of at-risk children,” citing issues including recruitment challenges, issues in retaining and supporting existing foster homes and lack of data on the need and capacity of foster homes. Finally, the audit focused on “staffing challenges,” which the report said directly impact the “ability to perform essential child welfare functions.” Statewide, field staffing was short approximately 770 staff, with the current number of caseworkers 35 percent below the level needed to manage current caseloads, according to a January press release from Secretary of State Dennis Richardson. Understaffing, workload issues, high turnover and significant inexperience of the workforce were some aspects highlighted. The audit ended with a list of 24 recommendations to address the concerns. “State leaders are truly alarmed by this deplorable situation. The time for hand-wringing and finger-pointing is past. The time for action is now,” Richardson wrote. “The new leadership team at DHS is ready and willing to support their caseworkers with the time and

resources they need to do their jobs.” The audit has been something of a hot-button issue across the state. On the first day of the short February legislative session, Rep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend, took aim at Gov. Kate Brown by holding a press conference before the opening day ceremony, saying he’d ask the legislature for $50 million to form a “rapid-improvement team” to deal with the crisis. Brown’s office ordered the audit in 2015, soon after her arrival in the governor’s seat. The Governor asked for an additional $14.5 million during the short session, in an effort to hire 200 more caseworkers. The Legislature ultimately added the additional dollars requested by the governor to the child welfare budget, but Buehler’s request for funds did not make it out of the session. This entire issue of the state’s foster care system promises to be a hot topic for debate during the 2018 Governor’s race. Response to the Foster Care Audit In response to the audit, DHS Director Fairborz Pakseresht, who took the reins in September 2017, responded in a 21-page letter to the Audits Division, first acknowledging the seriousness of the concerns set forth in the audit and agreeing with all 24 recommendations contained in the audit. Pakseresht also outlined how DHS and child welfare were already moving forward on 17 of the recommendations. For Carey and others in the field, new leadership at the top—Pakseresht as DHS Director, along with his hiring of Marilyn Jones, an experienced district manager from Baker City as Child Welfare Programs director, has brought hope to a system that has not had any for many years. Carey says there’s a strong feeling in the ranks that these two

tri-county area. One such entity is MountainStar Family Relief Nursery, which has a goal of preventing child abuse and neglect through therapeutic services and community engagement. MountainStar’s primary service, the relief nursery, is focused on family stability and child resilience. The goal is to provide a variety of resources for families in crisis situations to be able to keep their children in a safe and resilient environment. MountainStar began a second service, called Enhanced Visitation Services, four years ago. The fee-for-service program, offered in partnership with the child welfare office, provides visitation opportunities to parents whose children have been removed from their homes. The goal of this program is to provide an environment that is conducive to motivating a parent to work toward reunification. Currently, the program has a reunification rate of nearly 50 percent. Tim Rusk has been the executive director of the nonprofit since 2002. For Rusk, these partnerships are key. “It all comes down to the mission. If you want to make a difference in the issue of child abuse prevention, you can’t just say it’s the government’s job. You can’t just hand it off to the government, as these kids are going to be a part of the community,” Rusk said.

As Rusk sees it, there’s a need for more community-based organizations and more community involvement. Compounding the problem, Carey says, are the lack of foster placements, as well as a shortage of more specialized care and services such as behavior rehabilitative services or secure psychiatric placements, careening the system into crisis mode. Says Carey, “existing foster parents are the best recruiting tools we have, but when they can’t get the requisite level of support, then they don’t recruit.” Other Approaches Still, staff members continue to break new ground, Carey says. In Deschutes County, one such effort is called Differentiated Case Management. The goal is to give the system some ability to predict the level of needed court oversight—essentially placing child welfare cases into three tracks, from minimal court oversight to extensive court involvement. Carey says the system results in 75 to 100 fewer court appearances per staff per year—time that will ultimately enable child welfare workers to put in play various resources that can keep a child out of care all together. Deschutes County is one of four counties in the state, and Oregon one of four states to utilize such a process. Another important facet to fixing the issues within the foster care system: strong community involvement. Carey says he’s made it a goal to communicate widely with and engage various community partners in the

He is quick to emphasize that the last thing we need to do is, “pull the trigger on the caseworkers.” As Rusk sees it, there’s a need for more community-based organizations and more community involvement. Rusk points out that there are many places to volunteer and many ways to get involved. Rusk recalls the words of MountainStar board members, Dr. Bud Beamer, which captures the essence of this: “Our future will be greatly dependent on how we treat other people’s children.” Moving Forward The Oregon Legislative Adopted Budget for 2017-2019 did increase funding for staffing and other services within child welfare. Region 10 received funding for an additional five positions, bringing the office up to the level of staffing in other regions of the state. Carey says his priority is increasing in-home plans and getting the number of foster placements down. He sees new programs, such as the TRACES initiative, spearheaded by a United Way grant, and aimed at eliminating trauma for children and families in our communities, as adding capacity and resilience within the system. From his vantage point in Central Oregon, Carey looks at the changes at the top, additional funding for staffing, and continued community commitment and involvement as positive signs for sustainability within the child welfare and foster care systems in Oregon.

people are leading the way for moving child welfare in the right direction. He added that, “while there is no expectation that everything will change overnight, as changes do happen and things get better, this will hopefully have a direct impact on staffing and services going forward.” Leadership has been part of the challenge. Carey pointed out there have been multiple challenges within the child welfare system over the past decade, and particularly the past three years—which has a damaging impact on workers in the trenches. Carey says with the system often facing a lack of resources, and work demands so high, workers began to feel they couldn’t accomplish anything. He noted that the people who have tended to stay are those who are driven by a passion for the work. Workers often put in over 100 hours per month in overtime, he says, some unpaid. “A lot of our staff has only known chaos and uncertainty over these past few years,” Carey indicated. “My goal, as we gain resources, is to do things differently.” Jamie Ralls, principal auditor for the state’s audits division, told Oregon Public Broadcasting Feb. 5 that her involvement with caseworkers on the job, “was the single most life-changing event I’ve had in my career of 18 years of auditing.”

Building camaraderie with the band and other musicians you meet on the road. That’s the gift that music gives us, is to meet folks all over the country.” After wrapping up their spring tour, The Lil Smokies continue on the road for festival season. They’ll be at bluegrass festivals all across the country and then back to Oregon for Northwest String Summit and a spot on the Sisters Folk Festival lineup. “The people that go to the festivals are a special kind of music lover,” Rieger says. “All of these festivals

are physically demanding, way out in the country, you have to travel for hours and hours to get there. That sort of fosters a really dedicated group of people who are there for the music.

hen you hear someone say they love Lil Smokies, they’re not always talking about the delightful little sausages covered in BBQ sauce, sometimes wrapped in a crescent roll. In the music world, a love of The Lil Smokies means you’re down with bluegrass. The Lil Smokies, hailing primarily from Missoula, Mont., bring their fun energy and quality jams to the Domino Room this week. “I can’t speak for the rest of the group, but the communal and sharing nature of the music—that’s what first got me into it,” guitarist Matthew “Rev” Rieger says of his love of bluegrass music. Before joining the group two years ago, he discovered his love for the genre at the WinterGrass Festival in Bellevue, Wash. “I was walking around listening to all of these folks, who didn’t know each other, who didn’t speak the same language, but were able to sit down and play together for hours because they knew the old tunes. I love the passing of the melody. I just saw how much fun everyone was having—that’s what drew me to it.” On their latest album, “Changing Shades,” the band takes a more experimental direction, blending bluegrass with different genres and shying away from the traditional sound they embraced in the past. While the music continues to evolve, the band members still share a soft spot for traditional bluegrass music and those who came before them. “We all come from different backgrounds—musical backgrounds, and one of the common denominators for us is our love for traditional bluegrass,” Rieger says. The Lil Smokies have their work cut out for them in the coming year. Rieger says their year is basically full, working a lot—but that’s exactly what he wants to do. “We’re always working on new music, but it’s a slow roll,” Rieger says. “Seldom do we have the time and creative space. We rely on our vacation time to do that, but vacation time this year has been sparse. Finding creative space in the midst of a dense tour schedule is difficult. We have new material we’re playing now, some we’re saving for a new record.” With a jam-packed touring schedule, it helps to love what you do. For Rieger, he loves the people he meets

hat leads someone to choose a specific instrument? For Kaki King, she doesn’t feel like she had a choice in the matter. The guitar chose her. In her current show, the guitar also has a chance to speak for itself. To get angry. To explode. To speak— all thanks to King and the character she plays onstage, as well as the technique of projection mapping. “I think it’s happenstance, honestly, that the guitar became the thing I do as a career,” King says. “I started young. I wasn’t a prodigy, but I could get through what I was given. I stopped taking lessons at 5 or 6 and started playing with my dad. I knew how it worked, how it functioned.” Around age 9, King picked up the bass, which she considers a “gateway drug” to other instruments, including the drums. The guitar became something she did privately. Touring in bands, playing bass and drums, is what she did professionally. After the 9/11 tragedy, she found herself playing guitar in the subway, which led her to making an album and getting signed. Not only did the guitar choose her, but the instrument eventually found her on “Rolling Stone” magazine’s list of “Guitar Gods” in 2006 — the only female, and the youngest artist on the list. For the past four years, King has blended audio and visual in a engaging show titled, “The Neck is a Bridge to the Body.” The show features her in all white sitting and playing a stationary white guitar. Using the technique of projection mapping, a process that projects video onto an irregularly shaped surface—in this case, her guitar. “The show has had a second life in that we started off touring in the same places I used to tour — rock clubs, jazz

clubs and small places like that,” King says. “It really wasn’t the best setting. Halfway through I changed management. We started putting it in theaters, which changed how the audience reacted, how I played, very subtle things changed, and that’s where all of that started to blossom.” For each show, she focuses on refining the character she plays while she’s “in the neck.” She plays every show in a different way, keeping it fresh and further allowing the guitar to speak on different levels. “Projection mapping on the guitar is really awesome and beautiful, simply put,” King says. “Once it was tested, I knew I had a show. All of my career I’ve been trying to fuse the guitar with something that hasn’t been seen, something new. This allowed me to do just that and expand it times a thousand. I have a visual language. It can talk, it can get angry, it can explode into bits and pieces.” For most artists, there’s always another album, another tour on the horizon. For King, she doesn’t really have a plan for what’s next—and she’s totally fine with that. “This show deserves as much a tangential life as possible,” King believes. “It scratches the surface of what’s possible when all of the elements are there. At least I’ll be able to be there and get on stage and tell a story in a way that hopefully hasn’t been done before. There are so many places to go, I’m really OK being in that limbo.” SW Kaki King

subject of stroke prevention, stroke rehab, reintegrating, getting people like me back to a normal life—if they want to go back to work, what does it take? The problem with stroke is, it is looked at as an old people disease,” Hunter said. “We don’t put a lot of research as a society into recovery for stroke patients, because they represent such a small percentage of the population and they tend to be old. If the average person was 30, you would see a lot more research.” Hunter also takes part in a stroke support group, put on by St. Charles Medical Center. She’s also teamed up with neurologists and other medical professionals at St. Charles, inviting them to assist in the development of the nonprofit. When I met with Hunter, a real estate professional who owns Plus Property Management in Bend, Redmond and several cities in California, she was reticent to make this story about her and her journey, instead recommending I sing the praises of local neurologist Dr. Steven Goins, neurosurgeon Dr.

ARTWATCH Art in April

Openings to look forward to seeing this month—and a new website to find First Friday events Lloyd McMullen at Pence-Pinckney Gallery There’s no such thing as useless or unworthy when viewed through the eyes of Bend artist Lloyd McMullen. Her work often features found objects or “cast-off” items—most that might be given the tag “trash,” but if that same piece of trash finds its way to McMullen’s studio, it will no doubt be turned into a treasure. Her ability to create magic-filled objects from the ordinary showcases the true wonder of the world we live in. Her newest show opening Thursday at the Pence-Pinckney Gallery at COCC, titled, “So Far / As I Know” features two and three-dimensional work with an

Raymond Tien and others who she says bring the actual expertise and action to the issue of stroke awareness. (Consider that done, Lawnae!) Still, sometimes it takes a layperson—someone personally affected by events such as stroke—to bring the passion that spreads the information outside the medical sphere. They’ve been through it and can offer insider information that even the most educated doctors might not know. One of those bits of information, in Hunter’s case, is knowing the grit it requires to handle both the recovery, and the subsequent information sharing she’s now doing. “If you’re not really tough, you’re not going to make it,” Hunter said. “I’m pretty tough, and so are some of my stroke surviving friends. But what I knew was, we needed to prevent strokes.” SW Stroke Awareness Oregon strokeawarenessoregon.org

the new nonprofit, Stroke Awareness Oregon. One key component in recovery, Hunter now knows, is administering treatment as quickly as possible—a message loudly proclaimed by that nonprofit she helped co-found. It’s a message also shared by the ASA. “Many people miss this key brain-saving treatment because they don’t arrive at the hospital in time for alteplase treatment, which is why it’s so important to identify a stroke and seek treatment immediately for the best possible chance at a full recovery,” the ASA website states. At Stroke Awareness Oregon, educating the public takes the form of presentations at local schools and other agencies. The group has a presentation planned April 10. In addition to the educational component, SAO is committed to purchasing Pulsara technology, a mobile system, according to the product website, aimed at making communication between EMTs and hospital teams more efficient. It’s a technology available at numerous regional hospitals, Hunter says, including Eugene, though St. Charles does not currently offer it, she says. Another mission of SAO: sharing information and resources among stroke sufferers, in the interest of having the most efficient, effective rehabilitation experience possible. “I got really interested in the whole

“We don’t put a lot of research as a society into recovery for stroke patients, because they represent such a small percentage of the population and they tend to be old.”

Advocating for stroke awareness in Central Oregon awnae Hunter was careening down a twisty waterslide on the remote island of Turks and Caicos when her stroke hit. Hunter says it didn’t register that it was a stroke making her unable to breathe, but when her son approached her and saw one side of her face drooping, she says he knew right away. Hunter says the hospital on the island didn’t treat strokes, meaning the facility wasn’t able to administer tissue plasminogen activator—an IV therapy that can dissolve clots during an acute ischemic stroke. Hunter found herself on a flight to Florida to get treatment, and later, to Stanford University Medical Center for ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Hunter’s stroke was caused by a benign tumor in her brain. Three years later, Hunter hasn’t fully recovered. Her left arm is immobile. Stairs are a challenge. A cane helps her stay stable. Would she have been able to receive “the shot,” Hunter believes her recovery could have been days, not years, as has been the case. Still, she says she’s grateful for the mobility she does have, knowing the outlook can be much worse for some stroke survivors. Hunter’s experience opened her eyes to the efficacy of that treatment. According to the American Stroke Association, TPA “can save lives and reduce the longterm effects of stroke.” Armed with this knowledge, Hunter has found herself on a mission to educate local people, and to offer support and resources not previously available in Central Oregon through

transgender. Indigenous, pagan… the old ways were much more open-minded, closer to the earth and grounded in spirituality rather than the religion itself. Hinduism and Buddhism are good examples of this, too,” Beck said. Beck describes the model soldier that the military bases its training and recruiting on as “Conan the Barbarian meets Hercules.” “This is a figment, a fantasy. On military ships right now, we don’t need Conans, I want Bill Gates who might be 90 pounds. Or females, with attention to reading micro-gestures.” With a shift in the current Conan model, Beck also sees the development of a non-combat uniformed military branch. At the moment, enormous resources are spent on training rifle soldiers, she says. In Beck’s re-imagined military, those resources could be better spent strategically. She notes, “In modern warfare there are a lot of people who don’t need to learn how to use a gun.” She cites operating drones as one example. In the documentary filmed about Beck’s life, “Lady Valor,” the oppression she’s experienced is clear. Beck points to those who have experienced oppression, suffering and discrimination as some of most valuable individuals to harness for the military. “I have experienced it, I know what it looks like, and I will correct it. If we have more females, African Americans, LGBTQs serving, the government and military will have to change.” The Bend screening of a film about Beck is just one of two events she’ll take part in this week. Although Beck worked closely with the director and liked the process of making “Lady Valor,” she says she would have made different stylistic choices.

hat’s the difference between an advocate and an activist? According to veteran and LGBTQ activist, Kristin Beck, there are, “three ways to make change: protesting, activism and advocating. Protesting is super aggressive. You piss people off, which makes lines of communication shut down. Activism is lighter on the protesting. If you aren’t as hardcore, you can better convey solutions.” When Beck calls for change regarding the U.S. military’s LGBTQ policy (and beyond), it comes from 20 years with the U.S. Navy SEALs. After 13 deployments—seven in combat—stints on the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group and SEAL Team Six, a Bronze Star, two Defense Meritorious Service medals and a Purple Heart, her perspectives are informed. Beck feels the current transgender military policy—changed to exclude transgender individuals under the current administration—will only allow a small margin of the 15,000+ identifying individuals to continue to serve. Beck, who served in the military under the name Christopher Beck, came out publicly about her transition in 2013, just a year and a half after retiring. “With national recruiting quotas already being missed, it doesn’t make sense to dismiss professional soldiers (pilots, special operations, info technology, etc.) who are already qualified. This would be grossly neglectful on the part of the Whitehouse and Pentagon,” Beck says. You may have seen her express these views on CNN. “Two Spirit” is a term used by some First Nation Tribes to describe having the spirit of both a male and female. “I would rather be labeled two spirit than

27 “With some of the clothing I was wearing, I wish I was wearing something different. I was still a teenager then. I wear more skinny jeans and sweater dresses now. That’s the thing about trans— learning about makeup and clothes in your 40s.” Beck explains its common for transgender folks to experience their teens in a rushed six months (give or take) when they start transitioning. Spoiler alert! Since the documentary was filmed, a few things have changed in Beck’s life. Now she lives with her wife in Maryland where they raise Angus cattle and keep horses and chickens. Beck’s wife is an active duty Air Force member. The couple met at a happy hour while working at the Pentagon. Ahead of her visit to Bend, I asked if she had visited Oregon before. “I have, and I liked it!” Beck said. “Cool state. Keep Portland weird, right? I like people that think out of the box, ideas people aren’t used to yet.” Just think, back in the 1800s people protested the automobile. They said, where is your horse! But now, when you see people with horses and buggies, that is weird.” SW

Adaptogens are easy to add to your diet. Put them in smoothies, soups, stews, coffee, milk and even pancakes.

because she was interested in “wellness from the inside out.” When she turned 50 some of her family medical history came into play. Her dad died at that age and high blood pressure ran in her family. When Butera’s blood pressure went up, she started taking medication, but said, “the medication gave me pain.” She decided to make a lifestyle change, eating healthier, getting more exercise and adding adaptogens to her diet. Those changes allowed her to get off of her medication. Butera says, “I’m not advocating that people should just go off their medication but I encourage them to look into their own health and find options that help facilitate their own well-being. I took responsibility for my health and if I can, I try to help others.” Adding adaptogens to your diet is pretty easy. Butera adds powdered Moon Juice to smoothies, soups, stews, coffee, milk and even pancakes. She made me a peach, banana, strawberry and spinach smoothie with Moon Juice Spirit Dust, an adaptogenic blend geared toward relaxation. The smoothie was liquid sweet sunshine in a glass. I had no idea it was laced with anything mood-enhancing. Butera also made

me a healthy dessert of chocolate covered strawberries and a smart snack she called sweet and salty wild balls. Both treats were yummy and included adaptogens. She called what I was eating functional foods, meaning they have potentially positive effects beyond basic nutrition. Still, I wanted to cry when she told me milk chocolate was not a functional food. Before I met Butera my mind was racing about the interview and how I was going to wrap up my work so I could go camping. By the end of our meeting I was feeling really chill. It reminded me of the calm of a CBD oil, without the drowsiness. I decided to test whether this was a one-time experience—maybe one influenced by Butera telling me how good I was going to feel. For the next two weeks I’m adding a teaspoon of Moon Juice Power Dust to my diet to see if I feel more energized and less stressed. I’ll report back in the Little Bites section to share the results of my experiment. SW Wren & Wild

Balarama Chandra and Emma Kate Veader from Bend Ayurveda are offering a plant-based South Indian cooking class that, they say, “will awaken your inner chef and leave your senses wanting more.” A few things you will learn to make: idli, steamed savory cakes similar to dumplings; masala dosa, a fermented crepe filled with curried potato; uttapam, a thick savory pancake with toppings cooked into the batter; and a sweet variation of dosa with homemade chocolate hazelnut spread.

lants don’t have the ability to move. If their environment or conditions are bad, they either adapt or die. The European Medicines Agency says, “adaptogenic substances are stated to have the capacity to normalize body functions and strengthen systems compromised by stress. They are reported to have a protective effect on health against a wide variety of environmental assaults and emotional conditions.” What does that have to do with you? The makeup of the herbs and plants that allow them to adapt to the stressors in their environment can help us in ours, too. I’d heard of adaptogens from Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, known to promote overpriced products that may not be scientifically valid. To be fair though, Goop promoted avocado toast—and I can wholeheartedly support that—but I was immediately wary of adaptogens. They sounded like a nutritional buzzword created to sell products to rich women who do yoga and follow a raw, vegan diet. According to the EMA, “The general purpose of adaptogens is the reduction of stress reactions in the alarm phase, thereby avoiding the exhaustion stage and providing a certain protection against stress. In addition to their various properties, adaptogens are thought to rebuild strength of the body after stress or fatigue.” A few culinary plants and herbs considered adaptogens are maca root, reishi and chago mushrooms, Asian ginseng, the perennial flower rhodiola and licorice root. You can find reishi and chaga at Whole Foods and Natural Grocers, but one of the brands at the forefront of adaptogens is Moon Juice, touted as having the ability to optimize your beauty, brain, sex, power, spirit and dreams. I was intrigued. The only place in Central Oregon that sells Moon Juice is Wren & Wild, the clean beauty bar and aerial yoga studio. Owner Mandy Butera hooked me up. Butera was attracted to adaptogens

Grief is Revolutionary GRIEF RESHAPES US, MATURES US,

CAPABLE OF LIVING IN THE CREATIVE TENSION BETWEEN GRIEF AND GRATITUDE.... Left Hand Brewing

ne of the greatest things about being a beer connoisseur in Bend: the fact that traveling to other cities to check out the best of elsewhere is fun, but all the best will eventually make its way to Bend. Take a look at what’s happening around town this month, and it’s obvious beer fans have it made here. Check out Saison Day, for example. Held by Crux Fermentation Project at its brewery, the second annual event will feature at least seven varieties of the fruity, spicy and highly carbonated pale ale genre from Belgium. A few from Crux themselves will be on, and places including Deschutes Brewery, Immersion Brewing (right down the street— just walk around that Mad Max-style barricade), pFriem Family Brewers, Three Creeks Brewing and Worthy Brewing will contribute saison kegs to the event. It kicks off Saturday, April 14, in the afternoon—just in time to procrastinate on mailing in tax forms. Going outside of town, one of the largest regional craft outfits in the United States has finally, after 25 years of business, begun distributing in Oregon. Left Hand Brewing, based in Longmont, Colo., actually sells its beer in 40 states at this point, including all the ones that border Oregon, but never made it here until General Distributors signed on with them in January. Left Hand began its Oregon conquest with a launch in greater Portland last month, but cans and bottles are beginning to trickle into Bend as well. This includes, most famously, the Milk Stout Nitro, one big reason why the brewery got so big across North America. Introduced in 2011, this was one of the first craft nitro beers, meant for pouring hard into a glass to work right—basically turning the bottle or can upside down, like the Brewers Association’s “Independent Craft” logo. Milk Stout’s a mainstay on tap across the Southern and Eastern U.S., but a lot of Left Hand’s seasonals are worth looking into, too. The 2018 nitro lineup so far features Chai Milk Stout Nitro, Blackcurrant Cream Ale, Belgian Dubbel and Wake Up Dead, an imperial stout.

On SCREEN Game “Ready Player One” is a burst of pop culture nostalgia By Jared Rasic Warner Bros.

With references to just about every major ’80s-’90s pop culture event, “Ready Player One” is really just a love letter to all the things that made me happy when I was 12. When James Halliday, the creator of the OASIS (and a thin pastiche of Willy Wonka and Steve Jobs), passes away, a pre-designed game is released into the OASIS: an Easter egg hunt for three magical keys spread out over a myriad of virtual worlds. Whoever finds the three eggs gains controlling interest of the OASIS, as well as Halliday’s entire estate, worth over half a billion dollars. The entire movie is basically Wade and his new friends hunting for the keys before an evil tech conglomerate can find them. In any other director’s hands, “Ready Player One”

33 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 14 / April 5, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

y name is Jared Rasic and I’ve been collecting comic books and movies since 1986. I was beaten up in Catholic school and relentlessly mocked in public school for being a fat geek who should put down the books and pick up a basketball. Over the last decade, geek culture left the basement and became a juggernaut in Hollywood, the mass marketing of nostalgia morphed into a lucrative business practice. Seemingly overnight, everything that was deemed nerd fodder became cool. Ernest Cline exploited this paradigm shift brilliantly in his 2011 novel, “Ready Player One,” which took his love of 1980s pop culture and spun an entire world out of it. Steven Spielberg’s adaptation improves on the book in every way. “Ready Player One” tells the story of Wade Watts, an 18-year-old geek living in a future where most of the world is constantly plugged into a virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game known as the OASIS. The OASIS is basically the Internet with everyone walking around in custom built avatars as they stay plugged into visors, gloves and body suits in their own crustier environments. “Come with me…and you’ll be…in a world of pure imagination.”

would have been impenetrable to anyone not well versed in geek culture and video games. Instead, Spielberg instills the characters with enough heart to make us care about all of the technical wizardry. As amazing as it is to see a race in which our hero drives the DeLorean from “Back to the Future” through a deadly track protected by a T-Rex and King Kong, it wouldn’t matter if the audience was indifferent to the drivers. If an entire movie filled with pop culture references and computer generated imagery sounds miserable to you, then it will be. Even Spielberg can’t make that kind of magic. As misogynistic and ugly as geek culture has become over the years, with Gamergate and the #metoo movement, it’s nice to see things as they were before boys got angry when girls started playing with their toys and wondering why they weren’t included. With references to just about every major ’80s-’90s

pop culture event, “Ready Player One” is really just a love letter to all the things that made me happy when I was 12. That’s such a personal thing that it’s impossible to know whether the average cinemagoer will even care about the OASIS and everything it contains. That’s OK. This one’s for Catholic school Jared. He needs it. SW

THE DEATH OF STALIN: Cutting political

satire along the lines of HBO’s “Veep.” Easily the funniest movie of the year so far, “The Death of Stalin” is perfect for those who like some brains with their laughs. See full review on p 35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

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.

GOD’S NOT DEAD: A Light in the Darkness: The third movie in the “God’s Not Dead” franchise. This one follows the premise that Christianity, and the church in particular, is in danger from liberal college campuses. So it’s a fantasy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. GOLDSTONE: An Australian thriller about a

detective called in to solve a missing persons case, swept into the world of human trafficking and land rights. Sisters Movie House.

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, Redmond Cinema

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

LOVE, SIMON: A tear-jerking and crowd-pleasing teen dramedy about the inherent difficulty in coming out to your friends and family. Bring tissues and a developed sense of empathy and humanity. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. LOVELESS: A French/Russian/German co-production about an estranged married couple living apart who are brought together when their young son goes missing. One of the most powerful and acclaimed foreign films of the year. Tin Pan Theater. MIDNIGHT SUN: You know how it goes: Boy

PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST: Jim Caviezel

READY PLAYER ONE: If a 140-minute-long

movie about video games and cinema is your thing, then “Ready Player One” might be your Holy Grail of film. With Steven Spielberg in the director’s chair, even the moments that don’t quite work make for a visually stunning experience. See full review on p 33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

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 finest actresses of her generation. 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 TOMB RAIDER: Alicia Vikander is excellent as Lara Croft, the duel pistol-welding raider of tombs. While the film follows the formula fairly faithfully, Vikander is so great that another dozen or so adventures would be greatly appreciated. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TYLER PERRY’S ACRIMONY: Media mogul Tyler Perry steps back from Medea and instead dives into suspense/thriller territory with a flick about a faithful wife finding out her husband is unfaithful. Taraji P. Henson is always magic, so this might be a Perry film worth catching. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

UNSANE: Steven Soderbergh delves into the

genre of psychological thriller, but since he isn’t a normal human, shoots the entire thing on an iPhone 7. The film is intense, powerful and beautifully acted, telling a topical tale we could all use a few lessons from. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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.

“T

he Death of Stalin” may well be the hardest you will ever laugh at mass murder. I know that sounds wrong, but go with me for a minute. By taking the death of the brutal autocrat and then crafting a timely political satire around it, filmmaker Armando Iannucci once again manages to create belly laughs between some fairly nuanced systemic commentary. Iannucci is the profane brain behind Alan Partridge, “In the Loop” and “Veep,” which all examine the states of power controlled by men with tiny souls, massive egos and bottomless ambitions. That sounds familiar. Where have I heard of someone like that before? After Stalin suffers a massive cerebral hemorrhage, the members of his Central Committee rush to take power—double crossing, plotting murder and generally attempting to destroy one another. In any other movie, all of that would play perfectly as a white-knuckled Kremlin political thriller, but when the central cast member is Steve Buscemi playing Nikita Khrushchev, the film becomes something different altogether. As wonderful as it is to see Buscemi sinking his weird teeth into some of the most spitefully hysterical dia- Just your average and everyday political upheaval. logue of all time, it’s Simon Russell Beale, as Lavrentiy Beria, the head of the Soviet secret police, who demonIn times of political divisiveness, satire can be a strates that he’s easily the finest stage actor of his gen- warm blanket for those seeking some sense of sanity in eration.

“The Death of Stalin” is a modern classic, especially for those used to Iannucci’s voice from “Veep.” No hand holding or winks to the audience; instead, the story asks us to find the absurdity in tragedy, the hilarity in a past that will never go away. The brutality of what Stalin and his cronies did to the world is never mocked or made fun of. Instead, we’re given the opportunity to laugh at the pathetic men trying so hard to grab everything they can with their tiny hearts and hands. SW

Get Your Gravel On

Winter, spring, summer or fall, cycling on pavement is not your only option By David Sword Courtesy dirtyfreehub.com

Suggested route: A 33-mile intermediate-level loop with 1200 feet elevation gain that includes Shevlin Park, Sizemore Road and Tumalo Falls.

by e-Bikes and indoor trainers. Gravel advocates, including Alex Gardner, owner of Modus Sports group say, “Gravel is a movement, not a bike. The bikes are similar to a CX bike, but have more utility. Wider tire clearance and a lower bottom bracket, combined with more comfortable frame geometry, give better performance over varied terrain than other drop bar bikes. Borrowing from the mountain bike side, the addition of disk brakes, 1x drivetrains and tubeless tires makes for greater mechanical efficiency. But you can use any bike for the experience. The movement is new, it’s approachable, it’s fun and the coolest bikes are yet to come,” he says. Also lending to the growth is safety. “Getting off the tarmac lends itself to a safer experience,” says Matt Lieto,

Bend resident and professional athlete. “I’ve had more than the lion’s share of close calls over the years, and getting off main roads was as much a life preservation choice than anything. More drivers with more distractions is the trend, so riding on the gravel changes the risk factor statistically. Gravel takes you to more remote roads which again is a safer option then expecting that every driver that passes me is going to do so safely. You simply can’t ignore the statistical probability.” Lieto adds, “There’s nothing extreme about riding on gravel, but you need basic skills like mapping a route and changing a flat. Gravel rides give you a sense of solitude that is difficult to find on the pavement, but if you haven’t done your research you could end up

walking for hours, because you are lost or have a broken bike,” he adds. Event developers, including Chad Sperry of Breakaway Promotions, are also keen on the change. “As a promoter, I had always wanted to incorporate gravel into our road races. We first introduced gravel at the Cherry Blossom Stage Race in 2009. No one else I knew of was doing this sort of thing. People loved it, so we began introducing more of it to our races. In 2012 we launched the Gorge Roubaix, modeled after the spring classics races in Europe like the Paris-Roubaix and De Ronde, mixing sections of gravel along with sections of pavement.” Recent trends have helped, Sperry says. “In the last two-three years we have seen the market transition again. Traditional road racing is declining and riders want more gravel in their rides. We changed the name to Gorge Gravel Grinder, as more riders want an experience more than a race. We now offer long rides that are fully supported and have between 70 to 90 percent gravel on them. It is more about finishing a hard ride, enjoying a beer and great lunch, than banging handle bars and sprinting to the finish. We still do chip timing so riders can see how they stack up, but it is more about the adventure than competitive racing.” Whether cruising the paved paths of Sunriver or grinding gravel from Bend to Sisters, the benefits of riding are plenty. “I can ride Phil’s Trail any time, but figuring out a new route to Sisters, having lunch with friends, then riding home makes for a great day,” says Roy. “OK, sometimes I call a friend for a shuttle ride home, but hey, it’s supposed to be fun, right?” SW

entral Oregon is a prime destination for cyclists, with recreational and professional spinners alike coveting the diversity and accessibility of the road and trail networks. Mountain bikes get the most attention—and for good reason. Over 300 miles of single track await those who like the dirt. Plenty of road riders seek the roadways as well, and with a string of volcanos dotting the western horizon, it’s no wonder. Still, there’s is a new player in the pedaling game. Enter gravel bikes. Blending the off-road nature of MTB and the efficiency of road, gravel bikes are similar in nature to cyclocross—but don’t think for a red cinder minute that riding bikes on the gravel is as new as the Volumetrics diet. Since the early 19th century, riders have hit the dirt, double track and pavement with pedal power. Modern-day gravel riding began to take off decades ago as an alternative and complement to pounding the pavement, and as an option in fall/winter to maintain off-season form for competitors. Zoe Roy, a local fitness fanatic, sums up why she loves gravel. “It’s both the route finding and destinations that attract me. Piecing a route together is a major part of why I love it. And the adventure. And the camaraderie.” Gravel, Open Road, Adventure or Light Touring—to some these variations might look like an industry smokescreen, a way to boost dwindling sales by rebranding road and cyclocross bikes. Indeed, the generally slow-to-adapt cycling industry has jumped on the bandwagon. A January article in Bicycle Retailer and Industry News states that although bike sales fell nationally over the previous year, the gravel category showed steady growth, only outmatched

What to do about outdoor cats?

If you’re dealing with feral or outdoor cats in your own yard, here’s what to do—and what not to do

90 years young!

Happy Birthday to Jim, and keep ‘em coming!

Tabby-the-Cat on the prowl.

bothered me about the news broadcast. The cat owner (and the law) heaped fire and brimstone on the guy who killed the cat, but not one word was said about the cat killing wildlife, and the owner’s responsibility to keep it home, where it belongs. There are (literally) thousands of house cats in Deschutes County, and most of their owners do try to control their actions. Those that keep them indoors are, in my book, courageous people and good neighbors and I am grateful to them. But others who just allow (and yes, that’s the correct term, “allow”) their cats to go wherever they want—and do whatever they want— are hard for me to love, and, in my opinion they’re breaking the law as much as the guy who killed his neighbor’s cat.

Years back, I went over to a man’s house in Sisters to help him capture loose bats in his home; somehow, they were getting into his living room. Ultimately, we solved his problem, but while doing so we had to keep his cats in another room as they were hell-bentfor-leather on getting those bats. When I asked the fellow about his cats going outdoors, his response was astonishing. “Oh,” he said very quickly, “I love my cats too much to let them go outdoors.” We’ll probably never stop cat owners from allowing (and at times, encouraging) their cats to go out and kill indigenous wildlife. Even though too many cat owners are breaking wildlife protection laws by allowing their cats to kill and eat chipmunks and wild birds, the owners just want their cats to be happy.

If you’re putting up with a feral or outdoor cat killing your birds (and I use the term, “your/my” birds because, like me, you’re likely feeding them, and no doubt have a delightful water feature for them to drink from and bathe in—therefore, they’re your responsibility to care for, as the cat owner also has the responsibility to care for his or her cat) here’s what I would do: I’d have a heart-toheart talk with your neighbor(s) about the behavior of his or her cat(s) coming over to your place killing things. Not only is it unlawful to allow cats to kill protected wildlife ( just as unlawful as the guy who snared his neighbor’s cat), it’s not neighborly, either. If your neighbor tells you to stuff it, or yawns in your face, obviously, you’re swimming upstream. Then I’ll loan you one of my live traps. Set it up under your bird feeder. Bait it with a small piece of fried chicken, and when you catch said cat immediately take it (alive) to the Humane Society of Central Oregon. It’s not going to cost you anything to leave the cat with them (but I do suggest you leave them a donation for all the good work they do). If your neighbor asks about his or her cat, tell them where it is, where it was live-trapped and why. It’s going to cost the cat owner some money to bail it out, which might help them to keep the cat at home. No one gets hurt, the law is satisfied, cats are no longer an ugly sight in your backyard killing “your” state and federally-protected wildlife, and owners become responsible for their cat’s actions. Easy as that. Who says you can’t swim up Niagara Falls! SW

somewhat recent news story featured a dead cat, hung over a fence for all to see. Very sad, but one-sided. Sure, the guy who did it was wrong— very wrong—and broke the law killing his neighbor’s cat. But what about the cat, who was trespassing on that neighbor’s and others neighbors’ private property? As readers of this column know, I’m a birder and therefore don’t like pet cats killing birds. But it doesn’t stop there. Wildlife rehab clinics care for catmaimed native wildlife, from birds and lizards to chipmunks, to cotton-tails and jackrabbits. It’s what nature designed cats to do—kill things. Every day I have the same problem at my home that the guy who killed the cat does. I used to have not only my neighbor’s cats killing “my” birds, but I put up with a couple of feral ones as well. I’ll tell you, I do not have sweet cuddly feelings for cats when I see them running off with wild lizards, chipmunks, cottontails and birds, or, as happened the other day, leaving my place with a halfgrown jackrabbit in its jaws. I use a big, plush live trap to capture cats on my place. Then I hose down said cat with the garden hose, shout at it while rocking the trap, then turn it loose. That works for a little while, but, cats being cats, about two weeks will go by and they’re back at my place killing wildlife. That’s what outdoor cats do. They can’t help themselves. I know this next statement is like swimming up Niagara Falls, but really, cat owners MUST take responsibility for their cats’ actions. That’s what

I’m a 57-year-old lesbian, and I’m only attracted to much younger women (very early 20s). We’re obviously in very different places in our lives, and these “relationships” don’t last very long.

Your previous girlfriend probably remembers prom like it was yesterday—because, for her, it kinda was. Making matters worse, millennials and post-millennials (generally speaking) are the most overprotected, overparented generations ever—to the point where university administrators probably have stern talks with at least a few parents: “Your son is a freshman in college. You can’t be sneaking into the dining hall to cut his food for him.” Sure, there are probably some precociously mature 20-somethings out there. However, it usually takes a chunk of life experience—and relationship experience—for a person to grow into who they are and figure out what they want in a partner. So, as a 57-year-old woman, you’re probably as well-paired with the average 22-year-old as you are with the average head of lettuce or desk lamp. But say -- one day while you’re cruising the aisles at Forever 21—you find the 20-something lady Socrates. There’s still a problem, and it’s the way society sneers at a big age gap between partners. The thumbs-downing comes both from a couple’s “own social networks” and from “society at large,” finds social psychologist Justin Lehmiller. However, “perceived marginalization by one’s social network” appears to be most damaging—“significantly” predicting breakups. Granted, it’s possible that you have some rigid age cutoff in the regions of your brain that do the “hot or not?” calculations. If that’s the case, simply finding a woman who’s young-(SET ITAL) looking (END ITAL) is a no-go. (When she starts to get those little laugh lines around the eyes, will you put her out on the curb with that aging TV from the guest room?) But ask yourself whether you simply (SET ITAL) prefer (END ITAL) the springier chickens and are actually just afraid of the emotional risks (as well as the emotional adulthood) required in being with somebody closer to your age. That’s something you can work to correct. Ultimately, if you want a relationship, the answer to your “Hey, babe…

where have you been all my life?” shouldn’t be “Um…waiting for my parents to meet so I could do the fun stuff fetuses do, like kickboxing in the womb and giving my mom gestational diabetes.”

The Customer Is Always Frightened I’m a 36-year-old single woman. I’ve noticed that the more I like a guy the more nervous I get and the louder, more irreverent, and more inappropriate I become. I’m actually a really sweet girl. How can I stop doing this? —Unintentionally Brash Your cocktail party conversation shouldn’t translate to “I mean, come on…do I really seem like a danger to myself and society?!” To calm down so you can talk like a person instead of a scary person, it helps to understand—as I explain in my new “science-help” book, “Unf*ckology”—that “emotions aren’t just thinky things.” They have a basis in the body. For example, in the case of fear, your heart pounds, you breathe faster, and adrenaline surges—whether what you’re afraid of is physical death or just, say, dying onstage Amy Alkon while giving a talk—as you watch 43 people simultaneously yawn and pull out their phone. The human brain is a marvel, but we can take advantage of how it’s also about as easily tricked as my dog. Take that bodily reaction of fear—pounding heart and all—which also happens to be the bodily reaction of being excited. Research by Harvard Business School’s Alison Wood Brooks finds that you can “reappraise” your fear as excitement—by repeatedly saying aloud to yourself, “I am excited” (to talk with some guy, for example)—and actually shift yourself from a “‘threat’ mind-set” to an “‘opportunity’ mind-set.” Also, assuming the current weather isn’t “nuclear holocaust with a chance of rain,” some dude you’re flirting with probably isn’t the last man on the continent. Keeping that in mind, reframe your interaction as a mere opportunity for something to happen with him—and an opportunity to figure out whether it’s a good idea. You do that not by selling yourself like it’s 4:56 p.m. on Sunday at a yard sale but by asking him about himself. Counterintuitively, you’ll probably be at your most attractive by leaving a man guessing about you—as opposed to leaping to conclusions, like that you were the little girl who beheaded all the other little girls’ Barbies.

ASTROLOGY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you an evolving Taurus or an unevolving Taurus? Are you an aspiring master of gradual, incremental progress or a complacent excuse-maker who secretly welcomes inertia? Will the theme of your next social media post be “The Smart Art of Compromise” or “The Stingy Glory of Stubbornness”? I’m hoping you will opt for the former rather than the latter in each of the three choices I just offered. Your behavior in the coming weeks will be pivotal in your long-term ability to animate your highest self and avoid lapsing into your mediocre self. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you fly in a passenger jet from New York to London, the trip usually takes more than six hours. But on January 8, 2015, a powerful jet stream surging across the North Atlantic reduced that time significantly. With the wind’s extra push, several flights completed the trip in five hours and 20 minutes. I suspect you’ll have comparable assistance in the course of your upcoming journeys and projects, Gemini. You’ll feel like the wind is at your back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Leo sculptor I know is working on a forty- foot-long statue of a lion. Another Leo friend borrowed $30,000 to build a recording studio in her garage so she can pursue her quixotic dream of a music career. Of my other Leo acquaintances, one is writing a memoir of her time as a black-market orchid smuggler, another just did four sky dives in three days, and another embarked on a long-postponed pilgrimage to Slovenia, land of her ancestors. What about you? Are there any breathtaking challenges or smart gambles you’re considering? I trust you can surf the same astrological wave.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How sexy is it possible for you to be? I’m referring to authentic soul-stirring sexiness, not the contrived, glitzy, counterfeit version. I’m alluding to the irresistible magnetism that wells up in you when you tap in to your core self and summon a reverent devotion to your life’s mission. However sexy it is possible for you to be, Virgo, I suggest you unleash that magic in the coming weeks. It’s the most reliable strategy for attracting the spiritual experiences and material resources and psychological support you need. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to my analysis of the cosmic omens, your impact is rising.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The immediate

2018

future will challenge you to revisit several fundamental Scorpio struggles. For best results, welcome these seeming intrusions as blessings and opportunities, and follow these guidelines: 1. Your control over external circumstances will increase in direct proportion to your control over your inner demons. 2. Your ability to do what you want will thrive to the degree that you stop focusing on what you don’t want. 3. Your skill at regulating and triumphing over chaos will be invincible if you’re not engrossed in blaming others.

Sunday, April 8th • Half Marathon • 10K • 5K

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m about to say things that sound extraordinary. And it’s possible that they are in fact a bit overblown. But even if that’s the case, I trust that there is a core of truth in them. So rejoice in their oracular radiance. First, if you have been hoping for a miracle cure, the next four weeks will be a time when you’re more likely than usual to find it or generate it. Second, if you have fantasized about getting help to address a seemingly irremediable problem, asking aggressively for that help now will lead to at least a partial fix. Third, if you have wondered whether you could ever retrieve a lost or missing part of your soul, the odds are more in your favor than they’ve been in a long time.

HEALTH PLANS

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The French government defines books as an “essential good,” along with water, bread, and electricity. Would you add anything to that list of life’s basics? Companionship? Stories? Deep sleep? Pleasurable exercise and movement? Once you identify your “essential goods,” I invite you to raise the level of reverence and care you give them. Take an oath to treat them as holy treasures. Boost your determination and ability to get all you need of their blessings. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to enhance your appreciation of the fundamentals you sometimes take for granted. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Buckingham Palace is the home and office of the Queen of England. It has been the main royal residence since Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837. But in earlier times, the site served other purposes. The 17th-century English lawyer Clement Walker described the building occupying that land as a brothel, a hotbed of “debauchery.” Before that the space was a mulberry garden where silkworms tuned mulberry leaves into raw material for silk fabrics. I see the potential for an almost equally dramatic transformation of a certain place in your life, Aquarius. Start dreaming and scheming about the possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Carolyn Forché is a role model for how to leave one’s comfort zone. In her early career, she earned writing degrees at placid universities near her childhood home in the American Midwest. Her first book mined material about her family; its first poem is addressed to her grandmother. But then she relocated to El Salvador, where she served as a human rights advocate during that country’s civil war. Later she lived and wrote in Lebanon at the height of its political strife. Her drive to expand her range of experience invigorated her poetry and widened her audience. Would you consider drawing inspiration from Forché in the coming weeks and months, Pisces? I don’t necessarily recommend quite so dramatic a departure for you, but even a mild version will be well rewarded.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Actor Keanu Reeves’ career ascended to a higher level when he appeared as a lead character in the film *Speed.* It was the first time he had been a headliner in a big-budget production. But he turned down an offer to reprise his starring role in the sequel, *Speed 2.* Instead he toured with his grunge band Dogstar and played the role of Hamlet in a production staged by a local theater company in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I admire him for being motivated more by love and passion than by fame and fortune. In my estimation, Cancerian, you face a choice that in some ways resembles Keanu’s, but in other ways doesn’t. You shouldn’t automatically assume that what your ego craves is opposed to what your heart yearns for and your soul needs.

You’re gaining influence. More people are tuning in to what you have to offer. And yet your stress levels also seem to be increasing. Why is that? Do you assume that having more power requires you to endure higher tension? Do you unconsciously believe that being more worried is the price of being more responsible? If so, banish that nonsense. The truth is this: The best way to manage your growing clout is to relax into it. The best way to express your growing clout is to relax into it.

Kick off the 2018 race season with a true Bend tradition. One of the first half marathons of the year in the Northwest, it has long been central to the local racing scene. Because of its early-season timing, it is also the quintessential race for runners looking to build a base for future races.

VOLUME 22 ISSUE 14 / April 5, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

old author Harlan Ellison has had a long and successful career. In the course of publishing hundreds of literary works in seven different genres, he has won numerous awards. But when he was in his thirties, there was an interruption in the upward arc of his career. The film production company Walt Disney Studios hired him as a writer. During his first day on the job, Roy Disney overheard Ellison joking with a co-worker about using Disney characters in an animated pornographic movie. Ellison was fired on the spot. I am by no means predicting a comparable event in your life, Aries. On the contrary. By giving you this heads-up, I’m hoping you’ll be scrupulous and adroit in how you act in the early stages of a new project -- so scrupulous and adroit that you will sail on to the next stages.

CBD Buzz

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / April 5, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

here’s been a great deal in the news about CBD recently, so this week, we’re focusing on the cannabinoid everyone’s talking about. Its uber-rare that I type the words “Mitch McConnell did the right thing today,” because he almost never does, but here we are. The U.S. Senate majority leader and senator from Kentucky announced that when he returns to the Senate in April, he plans to introduce the 2018 Hemp Farming Act, which will remove hemp from the list of controlled substances and legalize it as an agricultural commodity. (This is actually the second time McConnell has done the right thing by hemp, as in 2014 he supported a pilot hemp farming program in a Farm Bill.) At a press conference with the Kentucky agriculture commissioner, McConnell stated, “We all are so optimistic that industrial hemp can become sometime in the future what tobacco was in Kentucky’s past.” (Well, except for the slavery used to harvest said tobacco for decades, and untold cases of terminal cancer, heart and lung disease, and other fun health issues which tobacco has had going for it.) His bipartisan-supported bill “will also give hemp researchers the chance to apply for competitive federal grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture – allowing them to continue their impressive work with the support of federal research dollars.” The Feds financially supporting hemp production and research is great, but don’t worry that some of that money might support anything smokeable, as he noted his bill will help in “recognizing in federal statute the difference between hemp and its illicit cousin.” First, people from Kentucky should forgo using the term “illicit cousins,” in any capacity. And while it was never addressed in so many words, I’m confident in stating that this enthusiasm for seeing Kentucky become Hemptown, USA, has far less to do with the literal thousands of petrochemical industrial and personal care items that hemp can replace and more to do with the liquid gold that CBD oil has become. The Hemp Business Journal calculated that the market for CBD will hit $2.1 billion in sales of consumer products by 2020, a 700 percent increase from 2016, and $450 million will be CBD sourced from hemp. With CBD legal in 43 states, we’ve hit a point where you can now get CBD-infused lattes in Brooklyn. But finish yours before flying to Tennessee, as February 2018 saw the execution of “Operation Candy Crush,” a joint task force of law enforcement from local, state and federal agencies raiding 23 retailers in Rutherford County, arresting 21. The charge

With CBD legal in 43 states, we’ve hit a point where you can now get CBD-infused lattes in Brooklyn. was selling CBD-infused edibles, which has been legal to do in Tennessee since 2017, so long as the products contain no more than .03 percent THC. This action was taken after the county sheriff received a call from a concerned parent who said that their child had come into possession of some CBD-infused candies. The stores were shut down and cash seized, but the next day a judge ruled that the cash be returned and the stores allowed to open, and resume selling a completely legal product. (The judge did not tell Sheriff Rutherford to get a life.) The good sheriff would be better served by embracing CBD, in light of a new preclinical study by the Scripps Research Institute as reported by Science Daily. In it, researchers applied CBD gel once a day to rats which “had a history of voluntary daily alcohol or cocaine self-administration, leading to addiction-like behavior. Various tests were performed to see how they reacted to stressful and anxiety-provoking situations and behavior in tests of impulsivity, a psychological trait associated with drug addiction. The researchers reported that CBD effectively reduced relapse provoked by stress and drug cues; CBD also reduced anxiety and impulsivity in the drug-experienced rats.” And although the CBD was completely absent from the brains and plasma of the rats 72 hours after application, researchers found that five months later, these same rats “still showed a reduced relapse induced by stress or drug cues.” Although confined to alcohol and cocaine, it could show promise as a tool in treating those with opioid addiction, as well.
