s the city of Portland reels from the horrific stabbings on a Trimet MAX train last Friday, the rest of the state is reeling too. As the Memorial Day weekend kicked into high gear, three men stood up in defense of two teen girls, one who was wearing a headscarf, when a man, later identified as Jeremy Joseph Christian, tossed out verbal slurs and told them to “go back to Saudi Arabia.” Police now say Christian was a violent felon accused of hate speech in the past. Reports from friends say he may also have been mentally unstable. Police say Christian used a knife to slash at the necks of Rick John Best, 53, Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, 23, and Micah David-Cole Fletcher, 21. Best and Namkai-Meche died in the attack. Fletcher survived. One of the teen girls, who has said she herself is not Muslim, has since thanked the men publicly for putting their lives on the line for the girls. The men are heroes, and they paid the ultimate price for standing up when they witnessed someone being targeted for their appearance and/or religion. This tragedy begs the question: What would you do? Does the fact that these men lost their lives defending the girl’s right to practice a tenet of her religion make you more likely, or less likely, to stand up for someone else, if the situation were in front of you? In the United States, where most of us are insulated from the horrors of war,

and where some of us are further insulated from the daily onslaughts of racism, sexism, or other discrimination based on appearance, it can be easy for some of us to simply walk away, to move further down the train, or to get off the train all together. These men didn’t. And you shouldn’t, either. The fact that this incident ended in tragedy is terrifying, to say the least. But at this moment, we cannot, as Oregonians and as Americans, let fear overcome us. We would all do well to learn and practice skills of de-escalation, so that when presented with potentially volatile situations, we have more tools to bring down the energy of that situation. Working toward a solution is still more noble than walking away. Today, those men’s families are mourning. Today, too, however, a Muslim girl and her family are understanding that a team of complete strangers was willing to defend their freedom of religion, baked into the fabric of the United States through the First Amendment. These men are heroes and should be held as martyrs, willing to stand up for all Americans’ First Amendment rights. Do not let their deaths detract you from doing the same—even in Central Oregon, where many people still falsely believe that racial, sexual and other forms of discrimination don’t affect people. They do. Whenever possible, do what you can to keep it calm and keep it civil—but keep standing up for your neighbors’ civil rights, too. SW

OPINION Letters

Americans recognize the importance of critically evaluating what they hear from public officials. Here is additional information regarding Don Horton’s op-ed about Bend Park and Rec’s (BPRD’s) proposed bridge across the Upper Deschutes. The Upper Deschutes has special protections via its designation as a state scenic waterway and federal wild and scenic river. One of these protections is a prohibition on bridges, intended to avoid heavy use and associated impacts on the area. House Bill 2027 would elevate the “no bridge” protection from administrative rule (OAR) to state statute (ORS). Horton says HB 2027 would pre-empt public engagement processes. A 2015 public process was undertaken by Oregon State Parks in response to a request by BPRD. After receiving public input, Oregon State Parks declined BPRD’s request to remove the bridge protection. A second, broader, process was held in 2017, and Oregon State Parks again denied BPRD’s request. BPRD has indicated it would proceed with the bridge regardless of the outcome of Oregon State Parks decisions. HB 2027 is necessary, precisely because BPRD will not abide by existing protections and associated public processes. Horton’s op-ed asserts that HB 2027 could “Stop the completion of the Deschutes River Trail” (DRT). One portion of BPRD’s proposed DRT routing would be affected, but the DRT already exists between the City of Bend and the Deschutes National Forest via the “haul trail.” The haul trail section is not immediately adjacent to the river, but neither are several other sections of BPRD’s DRT routing. BPRD is trying to channel hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors into a small area that is intentionally protected from such heavy use. Alternatives can be found. Horton asserts the 2012 bond measure and BPRD’s survey results indicate overwhelming public support for the bridge. However, BPRD’s own summary of the bond measure made no reference to a bridge, and their survey results are not suitable for policy decisions due to the lack of contextual information provided to survey completers. Information matters, and transparency regarding the bridge likely would have dramatically changed survey results and possibly even the outcome of the bond vote. Horton says BPRD’s “Preference is always to negotiate and work together on solutions,” but BPRD has had 20 years to meaningfully engage with those opposed to the bridge in order to understand, address,

and, most fundamentally, respect their concerns. That hasn’t happened. I support trails and trail connectivity, and I would like BPRD to facilitate good trail options for all residents, including those in southeast Bend. However, not every trail is a good one. We need creativity, flexibility, and respect for others in this community, especially in a public agency with so much money and power. I encourage BPRD to exhibit these qualities as they work to complete the DRT. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own; I do not speak for any organization. – Kreg Lindberg

IN RESPONSE TO, DON HORTON’S OP-ED REGARDING UPPER DESCHUTES FOOTBRIDGE (5/4)

IN RESPONSE TO, TENANT TROUBLE (5/18) Oregon law does not provide any protection to a tenant who destroys the landlord’s property. The tenant can be held 100 percent liable for any damage to the property. Stealing the personal property of a landlord is the same as stealing from anyone else, a crime for which the police should arrest the tenant who allowed/caused it to happen. Tenants assume legal liability for the actions of or damage by anyone they invite/admit onto the property, as any insurance agent will confirm. Deschutes County’s DA really needs to have a sitdown with Bend Police to revamp their inadequate response to this increasing calamity for our most defenseless homeowners, before landlords are forced to “police” their own situations. Oregon law provides that a homeowner may use whatever force deemed necessary to protect their person AND property from an immediate threat or harm. — Ed Benjamin, via facebook.com

IN RESPONSE TO, TACKLING A PIECE OF THE HOUSING CRISIS (5/25) The solution is to remove many of the regulations on business in Oregon thus opening up more jobs. Oregon is notorious for being hard on business. In Bend I know of three people in the last year that for several reasons have left the state, but all three said one reason was increased rules. One was a contractor, one closed a restaurant and left, and the 3rd was a long time ranching family. They all stated how tired they are of the state legislature and some of its really bad rules, laws and bills they’ve proposed. Also all the incredible waste of taxpayer dollars by the state legislature has many people really disgusted with Oregon. Add in the recent demonstrations in Portland that did nothing but harm more businesses, and people are just fed up. – Al Wasner, via bendsource.com

Glad to hear stories about people leaving the state. – E. Ackley, via bendsource.com Rent control is the best thing for the most people. Any other argument is greed based. — Sheryle Robin Bernard, via facebook. com

IN RESPONSE TO, WHITEWATER PARK (5/25) Helen, stop beating a dead horse. Do we all use the services of the Pavilion, the Senior Center, Juniper Park, the urban trails and parks? No. But we pay for it and we’re happy for those that do enjoy it, whatever their niche, because we’re a vibrant, progressive community who thinks for all, not just me, me, me. Contrary to your belief, the whitewater park is more than just a water feature for paddlers, surfers and tubers. It’s a talking point, a walking refuge and a pleasant place to spend some time in the heart of our city. So the next time you’ve got your knickers in a twist, go down there, grab a seat, listen to the rushing water and watch some surfers eat some S… — Robert Thornton, via bendsource.com

OPINION By Bill Corcoran/Writers on the Range Utility CEOs say King Coal is kaput

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / June 1, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

f you want to understand the demise of coal despite what some politicians insist, consider this quote from CEO Pat Vincent-Collawn, whose utility is invested in New Mexico’s Four Corners Power Plant: “The current data clearly supports the replacement of the coal ... with an energy mix that includes more renewables and natural gas as the best, most economical path.” This explains why — much faster than anyone would have predicted just a year ago — so many utilities are transitioning out of the West’s largest coal plants. For example, the CEO of Talen Energy wants out of Montana’s Colstrip Coal Plant by the end of 2018, because it is putting the company in the red by $30 million a year. Scott Harrelson of SRP, operator of Arizona’s Navajo Generating Station, blamed “changing economics” after the company announced the likely closure of another coal plant 25 years ahead of schedule. These plants struggle to sell coal-fired power because it’s become more expensive than cleaner energy options, including solar, wind and energy efficiency. This flurry of companies hastening their exit from the coal business should raise an eyebrow at President Donald Trump’s frequently repeated promise to bring coal jobs back to the U.S. The companies’ announcements came right before and right after Trump stymied the Clean Power Plan, which would have let states decide how to cut harmful pollution by building more clean energy. And just a day later, he and his Secretary of the Interior decided to reopen public lands to a broken federal coal-leasing program, even though it will cost taxpayers billions. Trump also wants to slash the Department of Energy’s innovative programs that helped establish multibillion-dollar clean-tech companies that employ hundreds of people, including First Solar and Tesla. Despite all the bluster about a coal revival, when Reuters recently polled 32 utility companies in states that were attempting to block the Clean Power Plan, the majority said they are still planning to phase out coal in favor of cleaner, cheaper resources. Not one utility announced that it intended to build new coal-fired power plants. And this makes perfect sense: The existing plants are getting older and more expensive to operate with each passing day. This transition away from coal is happening most rapidly here in the West. Washington and Oregon are on the way to joining California in being coal-free. Nevada is trying to pass more ambitious clean-energy goals, and 14 Western cities and towns have already made 100 percent clean-energy commitments. The West’s vast clean

energy opportunities explain why a utility like Xcel is about to spend billions of dollars on wind farms in Colorado and New Mexico, mostly using wind turbines built in Colorado. Even states that have relatively low clean-energy goals are seeing major economic benefits. According to the Department of Energy, nearly 38,000 Utahns work in solar, wind, smart grid and battery storage. Even though the clean-energy industry is relatively young, it is growing faster than any other energy source and employs more people than coal, oil or gas. This historic shift in how we produce and deliver electricity cannot be slowed down. That means continued change and challenges for working people — change that must be planned for rather than ignored by politicians who seem to be content with making unrealistic promises to their constituents. Failure to plan and act will hurt the very people who have often risked their own lives working to keep our lights on and our appliances humming. Instead of using taxpayer money to delay the inevitable closure of coal plants, as Montana has done, we should invest directly in the affected communities to help them diversify their economies and create family-sustaining jobs. Right now, two critically important federal bills that will help do this are in the works: the RECLAIM Act and the Miners’ Protection Act. These bipartisan bills are steadily moving forward because coal communities and grassroots organizations are demanding that their representatives in Washington, D.C., do something. All levels of government must take these efforts seriously and find ways to create more economic opportunities, modernize workforce development programs, and advocate for better pay and benefits for all workers. Hundreds of thousands of people already work in clean energy. Utility CEOs, coal plant owners, and investors are telling us clearly that the market has chosen clean energy over coal. Change is happening now and will only continue. The sooner we listen, the sooner we can build a healthier, more prosperous future in the West — and across the country.

Talking the Tough Talks

With summer vacation approaching, school, police and county officials double down on suicide prevention by Caitlin Richmond

“We want to empower parents and youth to talk about —DAVID KISIKO suicide in hopeful, preventative ways.” want to ensure that parents and students have the resources they need to proactively engage their friends and loved ones in meaningful ways that both help and provide hope to those at risk,” said High Desert Education Service District Superintendent John Rexford. The Safe Schools Alliance is the district’s program to “provide safe and secure school environments through community and interagency partnerships.” “The majority of people who die [by suicide], have a problem that is treatable,” laments Will Berry, medical director for Deschutes County. “If they are struggling, there are opportunities for them to seek help. They can come in and talk to someone who will make a sincere effort to get to know them.” When it comes to interventions,

the Hope & Help Education Series is aimed at being part of the solution. Susan Keys, a National Youth Suicide expert who lives in Bend, says the series isn’t new, but what is new is its focus on parents and students. The upcoming sessions are aimed at middle and high school students, and parents of students, though all are welcome. Hope & Help sessions are aimed at showcasing resources that people may not be aware of in Bend, and normalizing the conversations about suicide. There will be tools for youth to help them navigate what they see in online or on social media, including the new Netflix show, “13 Reasons Why,” about a high school girl who commits suicide and leaves tapes for people to listen to after her death. A collaborative effort between Deschutes County, Bend Police and the Safe Schools Alliance, the program includes a number of interactive sessions in the next month, with the first one in Redmond May 31. The Bend session is on June 12; Sisters hosts June 14. Due to high demand, the sessions now include later dates in La Pine and Prineville as well. “Many people are not aware of what’s available here, so we want people to be educated and informed,” said Cheryl Emerson, a private therapist and suicide prevention expert in Bend. She talked about how promoting help-seeking behavior is something that everyone can do.

“We absolutely do not want to silence any discussions-- that creates part of the stigma [around talking about suicide,]” Emerson said. Repman also mentioned that although these education sessions are aimed at young people, the highest number of deaths by suicide in Deschutes County are in people aged 25 to 64; one of the reasons why the sessions are not limited to parents and youth. “Suicide is a serious but preventable community health issue,” said David Visiko, a suicide prevention coordinator with Deschutes County Health Services. “We want to empower parents and youth to talk about suicide in hopeful, preventative ways.” SW Suicide prevention resources: Call: 1-800-273-8255 911 Text: ‘273TALK’ to 839-863 Crisis walk-in center at 2577 NE Courtney, Bend

100+ YEAR-OLD CANALS ARE A TARGET, IN AN EFFORT TO RESTORE WATER FLOWS IN THE UPPER DESCHUTES. BY MAGDALENA BOKOWA

little Central Oregon irrigation humor. Reporter: “How do you measure how much water you're getting?” Farmer: “Go to the tree, grab that stick, stick it in and if it hits the notch then that’s the right amount.” That’s no joke. Such measuring tools are still in use while irrigation water flows are still calculated with manual “quarter turns.” Central Oregon’s canals are archaic. Some experts say they’re leaking and robbing the Deschutes River of adequate flow to sustain salmon, trout and the Oregon spotted frog—and the question of what to do about it seems to erupt every year. This year, though, the wheels seem to be in motion. A COMPLEX ISSUE Imagine you’ve sprung a leak at your home and you’re losing as much as 60 percent of the water you’re paying for. You’d probably try and fix it as quickly as possible. “If you had a leak as big as this,” says Todd Heisler of the Deschutes River Conservancy, speaking of the irrigation canals, “you’d fix it.” Except when you’re dealing with water rights, the loss of iconic canals and Oregonians’ property, it’s controversial and the change is slow moving. “We all agree there’s a problem, we just disagree on how to get there and who will pay for it. But I’m confident we’ll get there,” Heisler says. All water in Oregon is publicly owned (with some exceptions). Cities, farmers, factory owners and other users obtain water rights from the Oregon Water Resources Department to use water from any source— whether underground or from a canal. Senior water right holders were granted rights, attached to large parcels of land, as far back as 1905. A hierarchical system pegs senior holders — those with rights authorized before 1905 — and junior water

right holders against each other. Senior holders can issue “calls” for water and under Oregon law, junior holders must shut off their water until a senior gets their full allotment. Water rights holders pay a per acrefeet fee, two farmers we spoke to said they paid approximately $25 a month, plus a head-gate fee of around $250 a year. When you see rural real-estate touting “original water rights” it’s because these permits are attached to a specific property, not an individual. Property owners can lease, mitigate and give back their rights, though few rarely do. The “use it or lose it” clause requires holders to use all of the water they are allotted for, which is why you’ll see golf-course type lawns in some areas. Although originally intended to prevent users from sitting on water rights, in practice, it tempts many to withdraw their full allotment, even when they don’t need it. A recent report commissioned by Central Oregon LandWatch found that unequal water allocations end up wasting water and promoting inefficiency. Junior water right holders facing scarcity of water were found to conserve more frequently and were more apt to use drip-irrigation systems, preserving water at a rate of 94 percent, as opposed to sprinkler or flood irrigation systems which could see a 43 percent loss. The study in Jefferson County showed that if conservation practices were applied basin-wide, improved water quality could be seen across the Deschutes River. But how do you incentivize farmers to make the switch to more efficient watering practices? And what about all that loss of water?

miles of canal systems—by hand— for farming and ranching in Central Oregon. Swaths of dusty, arid high desert land were transformed into wetlands and rich farming meccas. But as population growth increased, the climate warmed, canals leaked, agriculture automatized and farms were eaten up by urbanization, Central Oregon began turning toward conservation. In the past few years irrigation districts have begun revisiting their relationship with the canals. A move toward pressurized systems is unfolding—albeit with some opposition—as efforts to restore the Upper Deschutes waterway flows continue. AN INTRICATE SYSTEM Fed by natural springs and snowpack, Central Oregon’s water system centers around the Deschutes River and the reservoirs of Crescent Lake, Crane Prairie—and the largest, at 200,000 acre-feet—Wickiup Reservoir. Harnessing the flow of the Deschutes has been the method of choice for irrigation for more than 100 years. The character of the river has changed as a result, reducing flows and increasing temperatures, which greatly impact fisheries and wildlife. In the peak of farming season, up to 95 percent of the Deschutes is diverted, with most of those diversions located near Bend. In the Middle Deschutes, a 40-mile stretch of river between Bend and Lake Billy Chinook, the flow can drop drastically, down to 30 cubic feet per second (cfs). “We need to figure out what benefits the river,” DRC’s Heisler says, “and

our group provides the forum for all of the stakeholders—the irrigation districts, conservation groups, the government—to hammer out the best solution.” Solutions have been kicked around since 1999. Flows have improved within the past few years, from a median 47 cfs in 2002 to more than triple the rate 10 years later, at 157 cfs, as reported by the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council. Though that is far from ideal. Gail Snyder, president of the Coalition for the Deschutes, speaking to the Source spoke about the importance of year-round flows maintained at 300 cfs, as suggested by the Wild and Scenic Management Plan designated in 1996 for the Upper Deschutes. Higher flows mean river ecology begins to improve, as slow flow is usually attributed to higher water temperatures which can eradicate native fish populations and impact habitat conditions for endangered species such as

PUTTING BACK THE RIVER

WINTER Flows are held back in winter to fill the reservoir to ensure enough water is available for summer irrigation.

IRRIGATION “Our canals were built by the federal government, and we were given this canal system to foster development here. And it worked!” says COID’s General Manager Craig Horrell. An engineer by trade who helped with the Old Mill District revamp, Horrell has been COID’s GM for three years. His district oversees the largest share of canal systems—400 miles that deliver water to more than 46,000 acres and 3,600 patrons. Being the largest irrigation district and seeing the inefficiencies of an antiquated system full of alleged leaks and evaporation, Horrell has been slowly fostering change in what some patrons say is an unconventional manner: by overhauling the canals and replacing them with pressurized systems, or pipes. His plan is to eliminate about 90 percent of pumps that currently irrigate crops, or approximately 2,300 pumps — an energy savings of approximately 33,287,460 kWH per year, according to the Energy Trust of Oregon. Coupled with educating farmers for better on-farm efficiencies, such as the drip irrigation promoted by the LandWatch study, Horrell believes piping would save farmers 50 percent of their

irrigation costs. A variance of 700 feet of elevation means many farmers use expensive pumps for their irrigation. Switching over would eliminate the need for pumps, reducing overall maintenance and electricity fees for farmers. Horrell believes farmers could be incentivized to switch when they realize the cost savings. Critics points out that canal lining, a current go-to method, is less expensive then piping. However experts weigh in that lining requires significant maintenance and replacement cycles

underneath, as well as evaporation. At a 30 percent loss, The Pilot Butte canal appears to lose less, according to COID’s research. A recent push by Sen. Jeff Merkley to add watershed and flood prevention operations into the federal spending bill passed in the Senate on May 4. It secures funding until the end of September, and means that for the first time since 2010, Central Oregon has a portion of $150 million to work with for water conservation projects. A new project is slated between

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE UPPER DESCHUTES WATERSHED COUNCIL that ultimately lead to excessive costs. “I’m all for pressurized systems,” says one Redmond area cattle farmer. “The only thing I would be worried about is then the lack of groundwater, which could dry up our wells.” Since aquifers replenish from groundwater, those concerns could be warranted. However, Todd Heisler of DRC says, “...The historic natural aquifer, one that has been here for thousands of years is not affected by canal piping. But this natural aquifer is much deeper, 500-800 feet deep.” Horrell agrees that the landscape of the region is changing, moving away from large scale commercial agriculture. He refutes any thought that water should be taken away from farmers. Still, he’s all for promoting efficiency. “Bend is a beautiful place, but everything has changed,” Horrell says, “What we’re trying to tackle is how do we affect that change.” The plan is to replace the canal system from one that COID says leaks 40 to 60 percent of its water, mainly due to the porous volcanic bedrock

At left, the Pilot Butte Canal, photographed in May, now has protected national historic status. Residents including Aleta Warren say the high water levels are suspect and are due to demand for hydro power. Not far downstream, at right, a section of canal at Juniper Ridge has recently been piped and covered over.

Smith Rock and Redmond, and would eliminate 140 rotations (the distribution of water at the farm gate) and impact 638 patrons. The pilot project showcases the benefits of the pressurized system proven to be efficient in other areas. Commenting on the need for replacement, Horrell says, “When you have a hundred-year-old system, it’s pretty much all bad.” OPPONENTS OF PIPING “Not so,” says Aleta Warren, a staunch opponent of piping, whose property backs onto the Pilot Butte Canal in Bend. Warren, a member of a now-defunct group that has fought COID against piping, got a portion of that canal from Cooley Road to Yeoman listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. “This was dug by hand in 1903,” Warren says, standing next to the canal. “It needs to be protected and cherished, not only for the wildlife, the ducks, geese, frogs and deer, but for its historical legacy.” COID’s plans to pipe its two main canals would alter the aesthetic of the canals running through Bend, some of which are used (against recommendation) for recreational pursuits such as tubing. Reports state that piping both canals would conserve 82,000 acrefeet of water, or the equivalent of 276 cfs, in the Upper Deschutes during winter months. Warren refutes this claim and the claim that the canal leaks, pointing to the high levels of water, lapping at the edges. “It’s almost overflowing,” she says, “If they’re so worried about conserving, then why is it so high? COID is in it for the hydropower putting money in their pockets, and nothing else.” Warren shows us Google satellite images that look like irrigation ponds, which she says are run off from the hydropower and are dumped in the northeast parts of the district.

Horrell disputes any claims regarding dumping or historical representation, noting that in their own independent study, they found 10 other markers that were deemed of greater historic significance. Still, he says, the piping plan calls to preserve some canal areas, such as a stretch in downtown Redmond and at Brasada Ranch in Powell Butte. “The bottom line is, we have people that don’t want their water feature buried. So we’re going to have barriers,” Horrell says. PIPING—AND THEN WHAT? With the switch to piping, COID’s estimate is that about 10 percent of the newly-conserved water would be held, while the rest could be stored in the region’s reservoirs, or used for junior water right holders, as mitigation credits, or to expand already-irrigated farmlands, and yes, hydropower. Horrell and COID say the main goal is to conserve water through pressurized pipes, and that hydropower is a secondary goal. The district already has a few micro plants and is setting sights on potential plants on the Pilot Butte and Central Oregon Canal Systems, saying the renewable energy is clean, carbon free and brings in revenue for further conservation efforts— although their System Improvement Plan doesn’t say how the revenue would directly benefit conservation. Hydropower currently powers approximately 6,000 homes in the area. Ryan Houston, executive director of the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, thinks the solution starts with piping larger commercial farming and ranching operations first before worrying about Bend area canals. “Fundamentally, irrigation is designed to support agriculture, so we need to identify the most productive places of agriculture and then focus on building the infrastructure to deliver water efficiently to those places first,” Houston says. It’s growing pains,” he continues, “Since shifting from this predominant landscape to a growing urban area, where all of a sudden the canal is more of an aesthetically pleasing water feature in some areas that adds real estate value, we need to learn how to have conversations which support the good of the entire community.” An Upper Deschutes Basin Study funded by the Bureau of Reclamation is already underway, and stakeholders expect it to include further suggestions for restoring Upper Deschutes waterway flows at the end of the year. For those involved in this perennial conundrum, new research and productive conversations seem to offer the promise of relief. COID’s Horrell reflects, “It’s complicated, and there’s many ideas on how to do it. We’re just trying to achieve balance for the masses.” And as Houston points out, “Do we want to be a community that has ‘healthy’ canals or truly, healthy rivers?” SW

the Oregon spotted frog. Fish numbers, too, are low. Species such as salmon and trout need cold temperatures to thrive; below 64 degrees, with an upwards limit of 75. Temperatures have been recorded well above these limits, even upwards of 82 degrees in some stretches of the river. A 2016 report by UDWC noted that at all four monitoring stations, the “Deschutes River exceeded the 18C (64 F) state standard for 2-57 percent of data days in 2015,” thus at times, critically endangering fish species. With restoring flows a major target, an unexpected player is vowing to help realize a portion of those restored flows: the very irrigation districts diverting most of the water, namely Central Oregon Irrigation District (COID).

Moment SOUND That Portland’s soul/funk seven-piece Dirty Revival feels the love and appreciates every moment on stage By Anne Pick

hen Sarah Clarke graduated from Portland’s Grant High School, she never imagined 10 years later she’d reconnect with old friends and form a popular soul-funk band that continues to gain respect and notoriety throughout the music industry. Clarke sang in choirs from elementary school onward, but upon graduating from high school, she didn’t think pursuing music was the logical choice at the time. “My friend, Terry, who I had gone to Grant with, and we had never played in a band together, but he was in the Grant High School Jazz Ensemble, got in touch with me and was like, ‘Hey! Some of us old buddies from high school are getting together to play some music, are you interested in joining?’ And I’d never done anything like that before, so it took a little enticing because I was a little nervous and I had a two-year-old,” Clarke says. While they all may have differed in the ways they explored it, soul music runs deep for Dirty Revival. Clarke’s mom listened to a lot of Motown and Aretha Franklin. Even though they were heavily commercialized, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey imbue soul and influenced the way Clarke modeled her voice. The guys in the band have deep roots in soul and R&B. Guitarist Evan Simko loves ‘60s and ‘70s funk and has been listening to Parliament for a long time. Ben “Snacks” Turner, keyboardist for Dirty Revival, has heavy roots in jazz, as a graduate of Portland State University’s jazz program.

Dirty Revival comes in with a bang and its myriad soul/funk jams.

they’ve been fine tuning some of that music. They have their sights set on an album release at some point, but continue to focus on their live shows. “It’s important for us to bring either new songs or new sets or something every time we come back around to a place,” Clarke says. “We don’t want to be playing the same tunes, the same exact way. We really focus a lot on our live shows, and because of that we’ve written a lot of music. But tying it all together in an album, I’m not sure we’re there yet. We hopefully want to have a couple of tracks released by the

"I'm really guilty of closing my eyes a lot when I sing. Part of the reason, I think, why I do that is because I'm enjoying the moment so much." — Sarah Clarke Dirty Revival released its debut album, “Dirty Love,” in 2015. The band recently took a break from touring to record at Mountain Star Studios in Blackhawk, Colo., spending a day recording four tracks. Since then,

end of the summer.” When the band started, Clarke recalls being a tentative lead singer— which you wouldn’t necessarily imagine with her powerhouse vocals and presence now. She remembers seeing

the music industry through a pinhole, focused only on the Britneys and Christinas of the world and not being able to see her place. Now, she’s gained more confidence and feels more comfortable on stage and leading a song. “Frankly, I don’t think we would ever be anywhere we are without the players in the group. I’m not as musically literate as they are,” she says. “All these guys have a lot of music knowledge under their belt and working with them helped me gain my confidence. They are super patient with me and my lack of literacy. I don’t think that every musician is that patient. Had I not found the right group of people, I might not have been able to feel comfortable in pursuing the music.” One of the most apparent factors that stands out when talking to Clarke is the love that this band has for one another, love for the music and appreciation for all of the moments. “The thing that music offers me, that I don’t think I could find on my own and be on stage, is it’s about that moment and what you do with the

moment that you’re in. Even cooler, it’s about that moment and what you do with that moment with six other people on stage,” Clarke says. “That moment can’t be recreated. Even if you play the same song, there’s different energy in the crowd, different energy with the players, it’s unique. I’m really guilty of closing my eyes a lot when I sing. Part of the reason, I think, why I do that is because I’m enjoying the moment so much.” SW

Political satirist Roy Zimmerman responds to the outrages of the current administration with humor

DC Anderson

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / June 1, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Anne Pick

Roy Zimmerman entertains with his progressive political satire.

n case you have been frozen in time for the past few months since #45 took the nation’s highest office, it’s clear the political climate in the United States has changed. With this change comes dismay from individuals on both sides of the poll booth as well as passionate responses, often taking musical form. “Everybody has their response to what is going on; we have this new political landscape and unfortunately, it’s a Jackson Pollack,” says political satirist Roy Zimmerman. “A lot of people, especially on the progressive side, have a great deal of dismay about what’s happening. People are responding in various ways. Some people are responding with amazing activism. The way we respond is by putting these things to funny lyrics and melodies.” Zimmerman, who has more than 20 years experience on stages across the country, started on this journey of humor and current events in junior high. At the time, he had started listening to master satirist of the early ‘60s, Tom Lehrer. This inspired Zimmerman to start writing songs of his own, with a humorous and politically charged twist. For the past 20 years, Zimmerman, and his wife and writing partner Melanie Harvey, have focused on presenting current events and the hot button topics of racism, gun violence, climate change, bigotry, ignorance, war and greed in a funny way. Based on the current political landscape, Zimmerman has no shortage of material and inspiration. “Because the outrages of the Trump Administration are so reliable, when something terrible happens in

Washington, you look at your watch and go, ‘Oh my watch is fast.’ You can set you watch by the outrages of the Trump administration,” Zimmerman says. “The way that we’ve begun to respond is by doing a song a week. Melanie and I are posting on Facebook and Youtube and Twitter and getting it out there as best we can. Of course, that’s not even enough to keep up with it, but we try to choose a salient feature of the week’s outrage.” Zimmerman comes to Bend as part of a benefit for KPOV, Central Oregon’s community radio station. In addition to strong, left-leaning political affiliations, Zimmerman loves community radio, which makes him an ideal performer to help raise funds for KPOV. “Community radio is where you hear the voices of the people that you live with. It’s where you hear perspectives that are, if not exactly like your own, at least they are coming from the same place. You can bounce those off of the national perspective,” Zimmerman says. “Community radio is full of personality. The bigger you get in the media business, the more watered down and generic it can tend to be because they have to appeal to everyone. You listen to community radio and someone is just going on there and being themselves. I love that.” SW

A Choir for The Rest of Us

Sing like a rock star—even when you definitely aren’t one By Howard Leff

"I tend to pick songs that allow for big emotions to come through, because I think that's what fuels most people's desire to sing." —DEENA KAMM Did I just trip and fall into an old episode of “Glee”? Not exactly. We’re all part of Sing Bend’s weekly Public (Rock) Choir inside Broken Top Bottle Shop. Apparently, choir’s not just for church hymns and Christmas carols. Bend singer and teacher Deena Kamm, who has a long, impressive list of professional singing credits in Los Angeles (including a stint opening for Pat Benatar), leads the group with boundless energy and encouragement.

ing a good time,” says Nina Braga, who joined the group after her aunt attended first. “You come here and it’s this release, and you find that you’re singing through the rest of the week.” Robert Bussabarger joined when he caught the group in action one Monday night. “I just decided to pop in and I heard them singing,” he says. “They welcomed me with open arms. It seemed pretty cool.” Kamm chooses several different songs for the choir. Besides “7

SOURCE SUGGESTS THIS BOOK Thunder in the Mountains

by Daniel J. Sharfstein Before you stroll the streets on First Fridays in downtown Bend, check out this monthly review featuring reading recommendations courtesy of the Source and Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe. Then head down to the shop for a discount!

With Father’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to look at some non-fiction—specifically, one of the best pieces of Oregon history written in recent memory. Most of us have a general understanding of who Chief Joseph was and what happened during the Nez Perce War, but Daniel Sharfstein’s “Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War” is a stunning, heartbreaking retelling of those events that brings the main characters to life in a

“I’ve heard countless people say they would never sing in public or how they have such ‘terrible’ voices,’ says Kamm. “And I realized that we’ve done a great disservice to each other in our culture by assuming only the gifted, elite, trained and ‘good’ voices should ever open their mouths to sing.” The evening starts with some vocal exercises to warm up. Then we launch into song, backed by both a keyboard and a guitar player. (Don’t try that in the shower!) Kamm also plays keyboard, which she uses, when necessary, to help teach the song. First, the opening instrumental part—then we come in: “Once I was seven years old my momma told me/ Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely/ Once I was seven years old.” Twenty voices, rising in unison. “It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger/ Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker…” And just like that, we’re in fantasy pop star heaven. “It’s about all of us getting together and singing and hav-

Years Old,” there was Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me,” the Violent Femmes’ classic anthem “Blister in the Sun,” Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros’ “Home” (complete with spoken voice solos) and a U2 medley Kamm arranged herself. “I tend to pick songs that allow for big emotions to come through, because I think that’s what fuels most people’s desire to sing, she says. “I also try to keep it multi-generational.” The choir seems to love the selections. “Most a cappella groups sing barbershop quartet,” says Jane Routt. “This is a lot more fun, and more natural.” Choir members do get passionate while singing. Some close their eyes; others sway to the music. Everyone’s in the zone. That’s partly due to the songs, but mostly due to Kamm, who consistently emits positive energy that makes us singers feel safe. “All the successes I’ve had in my musical career pale in comparison to how good it feels to watch a regular, non-extroverted, shy, quiet

human—sometimes with debilitating stage fright—feel comfortable enough to take a microphone and sing a solo part out of their own free will,” Kamm says, “and rock it!” The choir’s first official performance takes place Saturday around 2pm at the Courtyard of 9th Street Village. (909 SE Armour Rd., Bend). You can even join in! Look for the Calendar Tap feature the first issue of each month, in which a Source staffer closes their eyes, “taps” an event in our calendar, and then tries it out.

By Tom Beans, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe way no author has previously done. Most books about the war focus on Chief Joseph, and rightfully so, but what makes this book different is that it gives equal time to General Howard, a fascinating character in his own right. Nonetheless, Joseph and the Nez Perce are the story here. Of the many Native American tribes and leaders who were forced from their lands during westward expansion, Joseph was without peer in his willingness to negotiate for fair treatment. They posed no threat to settlers and simply asked for the same protections the 14th Amendment guaranteed all

citizens. A powerful and captivating orator, Joseph’s arguments were both morally and legally unassailable, and initially Howard was convinced the tribes were right. Tragically, settlers forced Howard, as the arm of the far-flung U.S. government, to drive the Nez Perce from their lands. What follows is another tragic chapter of American history. Joseph believed the tribes and settlers could peacefully coexist. Sadly, Manifest Destiny trampled those beliefs in the dusty trails of northeast Oregon and beyond. SW

here’s a reason the Lukas Graham song, “7 Years,” has rung up a half billion hits on YouTube. It’s one of those incredibly accessible ballads even the most cynical among us can’t help but latch onto: simple, sad, emotional and uplifting all at the same time. But there’s another reason: It’s awfully fun to sing! But where would you feel comfortable belting out the lyrics to a song like this, using your very own voice? The car would work (if you’re driving alone). Or the shower. People are capable of all kinds of odd behavior out in the world, but somehow singing requires total and complete isolation. Fear not, secret singers! You’re about to become rock stars. Or at least feel like them. On an otherwise random Monday night, I conjured up the nerve to go out and sing this very song (and four others) as part of the hippest choir in town. Nearly 20 of us happily show up to do the same thing. We’ve gathered here to sing, loudly; with no fear, no judgment and endless support.

texture and sculpture to her paintings. The art on her website is full of color, and even though you’re viewing it on a flat screen, the texture is eye catching. Champagne has been interested in art since she was a child, and while she says she always wanted to be an artist, she was also interested in creating a place where artists could display their work and be inspired by other work they saw there. Some local artists, including Erik Hoogen, felt that before Layor opened, it was almost impossible to get their art displayed around town. “Lacey has sold more art of mine that anyone else,” Hoogen said. “I’ve been an artist for eight years, and Lacey gave me hope that I could survive in this town.” Hoogen’s art—large, vibrantly colored mountain scenes— is currently visible through the front window of the store. “There is a lot of talent in Bend,” Champagne said. “People who have never gotten to be in a gallery can get more

connected and more involved now.” In addition to bringing in premium supplies, Champagne is literally giving the walls of the store to artists in town. The team rotates the store’s displays for every First Friday, always featuring local artists. In March, students from Summit High School had their art on display, featuring works that included prints, pottery and paintings. Last month the art was made by artists from the Sagebrusher’s Art Society, a local art club. In June you’ll see art by Ken Marunowski, who works mostly with oil paints, sometimes painting outside, “en plein air,” using bold, expressive brushstrokes. Although running a business isn’t an easy task—especially when you’re tasked with picking what products to sell, Champagne said it’s been totally worth it. “I can’t say I’m getting tired of it,” She said. “Besides my husband and my family, this is what I love the most.” SW

First Friday’s First Host

Barbershop has cuting-edge idea Call it First Friday: The Next Generation. Sure, you can still find plenty of art on Bend’s most festive night of the month. That’s not likely to change anytime soon. It’s an “artwalk” after all, with galleries at their brightest and shiniest. There’s plenty of live music, too. Now, Bishops Barbershop, in a push to get on the “alternative” First Friday map, has added a new twist. They recently hired local stand-up comedian Katy Ipock as their regular host,— meaning she’ll preside over the live events the shop has planned. The past two months featured a raucous (and generally hilarious) lip sync battle, while local rockers Cosmonautical are set to perform next.

“Katy has been an amazing fit,” says Manager Samantha Berroth. “She really helps keep our events on track and her hosting skills far surpass what myself and the rest of the Bishops staff could do.” As for Katy, well, it’s a challenging gig, even for a seasoned comic like her. “There’s a huge difference between performing for a crowd who came to a venue specifically for a comedy show, and people who are milling around Downtown for First Friday. “You have to work hard to get their attention.” SW First Friday with Katy Ipock Bishops Barbershop 130 NW Oregon Ave, Bend Fri., June 2, 7-9pm Free

school in Louisiana, Champagne tested a program called Talented Art, where she got to leave her classroom for two hours a day to learn about the fundamentals and foundations of art. The program was amazing, she says. “The techniques are advanced and for me it was a dream because I learned drawing foundations at a younger age and went on to paint in oil and acrylic as a teenager,” she said. “From there I found my own voice using acrylic and oil in more of an abstract form.” After high school, she took some classes at the University of New Orleans and then opened a gallery on the edge of the city. Although she and her husband liked living there, she said they were happy to move to Bend and live in a place with beautiful scenery and four distinct seasons. Champagne said it has changed her art. “The textures and the landscape are so diverse,” she said. “It’s a different environment. The people are so sweet and it’s a really comforting place to live—it makes me feel at ease. New Orleans was really chaotic but here I feel really grounded.” These days Champagne enjoys working on large canvases and said she has been experimenting with adding

by Caitlin Richmond ou’ve probably heard the saying, “An artist is only as good as his tools.” While talent does play a big part, having the right supplies doesn’t hurt, either. Just ask Lacey Champagne, who contends that Bend had too few options before she opened Layor Art + Supply last fall. An artist herself, Champagne moved to Bend from Louisiana with her husband. As someone who consumes her fair share of art supplies, she saw a hole in the Bend art scene: The only art supply stores were actually more like craft stores—which she says are fine if you want to dabble in a new craft, but leave a lot to be desired if you’re looking for a certain kind of paintbrush or that perfect shade of green paint. “I saw the need for an art store, and I wanted to give that to the community,” Champagne explained. “It’s nice to have a premium art supply store [in town] because shipping is a big cost.” Layor is a place where artists can buy supplies, but it was important to Champagne that it was also a place for them to expand their horizons and see all sorts of art by other people, she said. “I wanted to have a platform for other artists, because it’s really inspiring to share art not just with yourself but with others,” she explained. “You constantly get to grow and challenge yourself when you share your art with other people.” When she started elementary

Conveyor belt sushi comes to downtown Bend

LITTLE BITES

Range Restaurant and Bar Opens for the Season

f course you can ask a server for descriptions. But what fun is that, when you can pick purely based on looks? At the new sushi restaurant in Bend, the food is delivered by conveyor belt. Sora Sushi is located downtown near Franklin and Bond. Bar, as well as booth seats, put you in front of a rotating conveyor belt that weaves throughout the restaurant. This is the next level in instant gratification dining. Still, I had to watch the dishes for a while before picking one. Choosing solely based on appearance, the first dish I selected was a cucumber salad on an orange plate. While I was a little late to the party, I soon enough figured out that with conveyor belt sushi, the color indicates the price: orange $1.95, green $2.95, blue $3.95 and black $4.95. Simply stack your empty plates, and when you’re ready to leave, they count your plates and you pay at the counter. Grabbing my chopsticks, I picked up a cucumber wedge sprinkled with sesame seeds and took my first bite. It was bright and refreshing. The rice wine dressing was mildly tangy and sweet. If this bite was any indication, the rest of the meal was going to be tasty. While it’s something of a novelty to have food delivered via conveyor belt, it actually made me wonder why more

At Sora, what goes around, comes around, in the form of tasty sushi treats.

food isn’t served this way. I wanted to try some sushi next and there were lots of options: simple maki rolls with tuna, complex uramaki rolls with tempura and drizzled creamy sauces, nigiri with salmon, tuna or tamago (sweet egg custard) and more. I started with the simple tuna maki roll, served in a set of six on a green plate. It was delicious so I tried lots more. If the excitement of the conveyor belt isn’t your thing or you want something hot, Sora Sushi has a full menu of appetizers, lunch sushi combos, rice bowls, noodle soups, stir fried noodles, bento boxes, sashimi appetizers and sashimi and sushi combos. With the popularity of ramen in Bend these days, I was curious to see how Sora stacked up. I ordered the Chashu Ramen with chicken flavored broth and slices of pork. The portion size was huge and the noodles came served in a large, beautiful, speckled, ceramic bowl. The broth and noodles were a little bland but the pork was tender and delicious. With a healthy

dose of soy sauce, chili oil and red pepper mix the ramen was spicy and flavorful. If you try the ramen, be prepared to season it on your own. The confections are also paraded in front of you, tempting you to choose from eclairs, fresh orange slices, rice cakes, sesame balls and ice cream mochi. I wanted to be adventurous so I tried the black sesame-crusted rice cake—glutinous rice stuffed with a sweetened red bean paste. The texture is pillowy and the flavor lightly sweet. I liked it, but my dining partner loved it. I enjoyed the creamy texture of the green tea mochi ice cream even more. With good food, quick service and reasonable prices, chances are you, too, will soon discover the sushigo-round makes eating out just a bit more fun. SW Sora Sushi

The Range Restaurant at Brasada Ranch is open for the season, offering a romantic dinner with killer views and a menu showcasing the seasonal bounty of Oregon. The Range is a short drive from town but you’ll feel like you’re tucked away in the country. Executive Chef Doug MacFarland shines in the dishes featuring locally ranched meat. We recommend the pork rillettes, half plancha chicken and the heritage pork with grilled fennel, poached apricot, oregano and almonds. Tip: Have s’mores at sunset on the patio, where you get way more than your grocery store variety. You get to roast house made marshmallows over an open flame and smush them between homemade graham crackers with gooey chocolate. Enjoy the chocolaty goodness as you watch the sky turn intense colors of blue, purple and pink. The Range at Brasada Ranch 16986 SW Brasada Ranch Road Bend/Powell Butte, OR 97753 brasada.com

Widmer Brothers' Hefe Berry Lime tarts up an old stalwart.

regon beer, astounding as it is to believe, continues to grow. Crux has just announced plans to expand distribution to a few hot craftbeer markets in the East, including New York City, Washington ,D.C.,— and Vermont, where it’ll be joining Boneyard on the taps alongside Lawson and Hill Farmstead. Oblivion Brewing, which just won Central Oregon Beer Week’s SMaSH Beer Fest, has a taproom once again in northeast Bend. 10 Barrel, whose pub in the northeast is now open, kind of speaks for itself. But as Oregon rolls into another summer season full of outdoor excitement and casual inebriation, now might be a good time to recall the original “killer app” to come from our state’s scene. That would, without a doubt, be the Hefeweizen from Widmer Brothers Brewing, originally launched in 1986—the same year McMenamins introduced Ruby Ale at their Hillsdale Brewery in Portland. Together they’re the oldest beers from this state readily identifiable as “craft,” but it’s pretty clear which one’s the national favorite. Widmer, part of the Craft Brew Alliance with outfits like Redhook and Kona (an alliance which is majority-owned by A-B InBev, which retains about 31 percent of common stock as of 2016), is literally the house that Hefe built. The Portland-based brew facility has a total capacity of 450,000 barrels per year, and the towering fermenters seen by anyone who takes a tour or passes by their building off I-405 in Portland contain Hefe that’s destined for all corners of the US.

It is the original “American hefeweizen,” unfiltered like the German version but made with yeast and hops more familiar to Oregonian palates, and thus it attracts jeers from stalwart lager enthusiasts. It does not taste much like Weihenstephan, the German standard-bearer, nor the similarly authentic hefeweizens coming from states such as Wisconsin or Texas where Germany enjoys an outsized influence on beer trends. What it has in common: A hazy look; relatively low alcohol; and a sense of refreshment that makes it ideal for afternoons spent mowing the lawn. This makes Widmer’s Hefe a perennial favorite in neighborhood bars across Oregon, although it’s undeniably more a presence at the Buffalo Wild Wings of the world than, say, a fancy craft taproom like Bailey’s in Portland. It’s been sold in cans since last year, and Widmer’s holding a “100 Days of Hefe” roadshow of events across metro Portland to celebrate it, which started Memorial Day at the Horse Brass, and meanders around the area until Labor Day at the original Widmer pub. To commemorate this show, the brewery’s launching a line of Hefe variants, including Hefe Berry Lime in bottled six-packs. This version features a mix of Oregon-grown marionberries, blackberries, limes and kaffir lime leaves, adding an extra tartness to the wheat ale that’s bound to be more inviting as the mercury rises. Visit the pub in Portland to try it out, along with Hefe X Mosiac, Hefe X Ekuanot, Hefe Hopfruit and whatever else the mad scientists running the pilot

one (aside from the fact that director Jonathan Levine is a great filmmaker) is that it's Goldie Hawn's first movie in 15 years.

Aliens SCREEN Illegal Chestbursters in paradise By Jared Rasic

packed to the brim with huge ideas like the search for the birthplace of humanity and whether we as a species can be the master of our own destiny. When the film devolves into a very basic horror movie in the third act, the disappointment is palpable. Scott continues his newfound obsession with his oldest franchise in “Alien: Covenant,” which simultaneously acts as a prequel to “Alien” and a sequel to “Prometheus.” As a sequel it works wonders in ironing out most of the issues with “Prometheus,” but as a prequel to one of the greatest scifi horror films of all time, it can’t help but disappoint. It’s 2104 and the colonization ship Covenant is headed toward a faraway planet with thousands of people and embryos on board. When a neutrino bursts and damages the ship, Walter (Michael Fassbender), a synthetic model based on the David-bot (also Fassbender) from “Prometheus,” wakes the crew much earlier than anticipated. The crew picks up a radio transmission from a nearby—and unknown—planet that looks even

more suitable for human habitation than their initial colony choice. They land and terrible and violent things happen. Scott once again makes the film look impeccable. Camera movement and framing are painterly and gorgeous, with Scott proving why he’s still considered one of the masters even after a string of disappointing films. At age 79, Scott is still making films like a man with something to prove. Fassbender, in dual roles, proves why he’s one of our most talented actors (even when he doesn’t select the projects worthy of that talent). He carries the film even past the weaker moments and makes it easier to overlook the film’s myriad flaws. The problem comes down to this: “Covenant” (pardon the pun) shoves all of the big ideas of “Prometheus” out of the airlock. The film is content to be a straightforward horror/sci-fi/thriller and it’s not scary enough to be entirely successful. “Alien” is still one of the most intense movies of all time, so if you’re gonna make a prequel, you’d better have some nightmare fuel.

Look at that little cutie. Just don’t get too close.

“Covenant” is nowhere near a bad movie, but it falls JUST short of being a great one, which is somehow even worse. It’s still pure popcorn entertainment, but we should expect more from Scott than empty calories. Scott is capable of filet mignon and “Covenant” is Outback Steakhouse, at best. SW Alien: Covenant

Blockbusters for Adults A summer movie preview By Jared Rasic

nce again we’re heading into the summer blockbuster season, but it means a lot less than it used to. Superhero movies, Vin Diesel franchises and giant monster flicks are released year round now instead of during the small summer window. Over the last decade, Hollywood has been in the franchise business more than ever before, so it’s become quite easy to become fatigued with all the explosions and robots. With that said, here’s a look at some of the releases that aren’t the typical summer fare. June 2

Dean: The brilliant Demetri Martin writes, directs and stars in this dramedy about an illustrator who tries reconnecting with his father after the abrupt death of his mother. Also starring Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen.

June 9: Beatriz at Dinner: From Miguel Arteta and Mike White, the team behind the underrated “Chuck and Buck” and “The Good Girl,” comes the story of a Mexican massage therapist and a billionaire hotelier who butt heads at a dinner party. Advanced word from Sundance says this is a biting and savage satire designed to make audiences very uncomfortable. It Comes at Night: Already being hailed as the scariest horror movie of the last few years, “It Comes at Night” stars Joel Edgerton as a patriarch who will do anything to protect his family

from an unknown danger. Try not to get chills watching the trailer, I dare you!

June 23 The Beguiled: If the word from Cannes is true, this remake of a Clint Eastwood vehicle from the 1970s is Sofia Coppola’s strongest work since “Lost in Translation.” Starring Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst, the film follows a Union soldier hiding in a boarding school filled with intelligent and powerful women. It will be worth the price of admission alone just to see how Coppola inverts the gender politics. The Big Sick: This is the romantic comedy of the year to beat. Married comedians Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon wrote the screenplay that mildly fictionalizes the story of how they met and fell in love. This was the breakout comedy of Sundance and, in a just world, “The Big Sick” will explode in pop culture like “Little Miss Sunshine” or “Juno.”

June 28 Baby Driver: This might be considered a blockbuster, but it’s the new movie by Edgar Wright (“Shaun of the Dead” and “Scott Pilgrim”), so a list without mentioning his new movie would be incomplete. This action comedy follows a getaway driver with tinnitus who always has music playing while he speeds through the city streets. Okja: The genius Korean filmmaker Bong Joonho (“Snowpiercer” and “The Host”) returns with a fantastical monster movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton. If the advanced word is true, this should be a groundbreaking work of pure imagination.

Left, Paul Dano in the South Korean fantasy, “Okja.”Center, Salma Hayek in “Beatriz at Dinner.” Right, Elle Fanning in Sofia Coppola’s “The Beguiled.”

July 7

July 21

City of Ghosts: Matthew Heineman, the documentarian behind the Oscar-nominated “Cartel Land” returns with this look at citizen journalists in Syria risking death documenting ISIS’s reign of terror in Raqqa. This will be a guaranteed powerhouse of a documentary.

Landline: From Gillian Robespierre, the filmmaker behind the wonderful “Obvious Child,” this dysfunctional family comedy teams Jenny Slate and Abby Quinn as sisters who think their father is cheating on their mother. “Obvious Child” re-invented the romantic comedy while paying tribute to the genre, so expect “Landline” to do the same with the family dramedy genre.

July 14 Lady Macbeth: A young bride is trapped in an arranged marriage and begins a torrid affair with a stable hand. Based on the title alone, I think we can assume things get awfully bloody. One of the best trailers of the year.

August 4 Detroit: Kathryn Bigelow (‘Zero Dark Thirty” and “The Hurt Locker”) re-teams with Mark Boal for this powerful drama focused on the Detroit riots of 1967. Expect Bigelow to make a spellbinding look at a time when our country was tearing itself apart.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 22 / June 1, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

’ve always believed the real thematic purpose of the “Alien” franchise was to highlight the ineffable terror of the unknowable. That somewhere, whether it’s deep under the ocean or hundreds of thousands of miles out in the blackness of space, there’s something truly alien that will swallow you up so profoundly that no one would ever find you again. Sir Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece, “Alien,” takes that fear and manages to build so much tension off of such a simple premise (and not to mention the horrifying creature design by H.R. Giger) that it changed how monster movies were made. Each progressive “Alien” movie lost a bit of that tension, but even the worst movie of the franchise (I’m looking at you, “Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem”) has a moment or two of genuine creepiness. When Scott decided to step back into the franchise with 2012’s “Prometheus,” excitement levels were high. The film is gorgeous to look at with flawless cinematography and special effects, but the script left a bit to be desired. The first half of the film is

for Science OUTSIDE AA newHome Bend Science Station on the way…

GO HERE

By Kim Cooper Findling

with your help by Howard Leff

Who’s this trip for? Great for families with young kids or as a day trip for visiting friends & family. What’s it all about? An architectural rendering of the new Bend Science Station.

uestion: What happens when you pour green-tinted water into a vat of liquid nitrogen? Answer: A group of kindergarteners finds it pretty awesome! Welcome to the Bend Science Station, where that sort of magic takes place all the time. Today’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) workforce demands a solid science education for today’s kids. Now comes the question: How do we make sure Central Oregon students keep up? Lectures and textbooks are crucial, but students (and teachers) also need hands-on experience. The Bend Science Station, operating in the COCC Chandler Labs since 2002, has long provided a lab-based science education for students as well as training for teachers. As it looks toward the future, the people behind Science Station are planning a move. With its COCC lease coming to an end, organizers have chosen a new site on the OSU-Cascades campus. They’re in the late stages of a $2.3 million fundraising effort to build the 3,700-square-foot facility. The goal? A state-of-the-art, standalone lab and teaching space not just for Bend, but for the entire region. The idea blossomed when Bend Science Station Executive Director David Bermudez and his wife Lisa attended a state science fair and saw projects from all over Oregon, southern Washington and Idaho. All areas, they noticed, except for Central Oregon. Clearly, this area needed labs. “I asked the question: ‘Is there a niche here for labs— dedicated to the idea that science isn’t just facts in a

book—but actually a way to ask and answer questions?,’” Bermudez says. “If you want kids to be research-based scientists, you have to get them into a lab at an early age.” Bermudez soon realized that a centralized facility would better serve the community, as opposed to creating more than two dozen labs for all the schools in the Bend-LaPine district alone. “What we found is a way to deliver that on a limited budget with a small staff,” he says. The idea clicked, and eventually came plans for an upgrade. The Station currently serves around 7,000 students, 200 teachers and 40 schools each year. All this with an instructional staff of just three. The Station’s “teacher training component” is crucial since it arms local science teachers with the knowledge to carry out some of the handson instruction themselves. “We made a conscientious decision that the way we were going to reach more of Central Oregon—and raise the bar on STEM instruction in this region—was to teach teachers what we do and get them the gear that they need to do it,” says Bermudez. From that was born the Station’s teacher training module. Extra space at the OSU campus will allow Bermudez to add a special teacher training room so both the student and teacher programs can run at the same time. That’s just one advantage to the move. “I have to credit [Vice President] Becky Johnson in terms of the vision that she had. When she heard that we needed space, she immediately contacted us and said, ‘We want you on our new site.’ It’s really clear to me

that they see the benefit.” Bermudez says Johnson wants to see “every kid in this county—regardless of their financial background, where they were born, or the color of their skin—to get on [the OSU-Cascades] campus, have a positive learning experience at an early age, and ultimately be able to envision themselves pursuing higher education. “If you were to ask me what the single most important aspect of us being on that site is, I think that’s it right there.” It works both ways. Grad students in OSU’s MA teaching program will also benefit by interacting with Bermudez and his staff in the labs, while the Station’s high-end research students will be able to work with college mentors. As for fundraising, the effort has currently raised just over $2 million, with a family-friendly event set for later this month to launch the final phase. The event features science experiments, contests, tours, as well as food and drinks. Assuming Bermudez and his staff reach their goal, they hope to break ground in September of this year, with a planned opening date of August 2018. SW

It’s not every day that you can see a river spring literally from underground. Many destinations in the high Cascades are still inaccessible due to this year’s snows, so Camp Sherman and the Metolius River are a lovely, early season getaway. The Metolius forms from underground springs and appears from a rocky, fern-covered hillside before ending its 29-mile course at Lake Billy Chinook. The headwaters are accessed by a short, paved quarter-mile trail that also boasts a killer view of Mt. Jefferson. As you watch the water trickle, consider that no one seems quite sure of its source. Some say the Metolius springs is a basin on the other side of Black Butte, and that the eruption of the butte is what buried the river’s more obvious origin. Next, go see some fish. The Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery is directly north of the headwaters nearly seven miles. The hatchery is the birthplace of six varieties of fish; a total of 2.5 million fingerlings are distributed around the state from this location each year. A mere 25 cents buys a fistful of fish food kids can toss, sprinkle or hurl into a cement pool to the mouths of hundreds of trout. Next hit the classic Camp Sherman general store to grab an ice cream or cold beverage, then enjoy your treat on the banks of the Metolius River before heading home. Directions

The Effects of Feeding Deer in Town

Crowding and poor digestion lead to a deadly disease among deer populations By Jim Anderson 35

"... When we checked the stomachs of some of the dead deer we found undigested junk food, including alfalfa, heavy grains and cracked corn. When are people going to get it? Mule deer CANNOT digest cracked corn!" —RANDY LEWIS Smeltzer said, “They were found all along the trail from the start to end. Some deer seemed more recent dead than others with only a couple with signs of predation, or what I could see. “The ones that had not been eaten yet were curled up. As a result of seeing all these dead deer, I wanted to see if I could find out what happened.” During a phone call to the Bend ODFW office, reporting Smelzer’s discovery, both Corey Heath and Randy Lewis sighed. Lewis said, “Yeah, those are probably more victims of AHD, Jim. We’ve been checking deer in the Metolius Unit and surrounding area and AHD’s hit them pretty hard.” And then he added, “I wish there were some way we could stop those kind-hearted people from feeding deer. Not only was AHD the cause of their deaths, but when we checked the stomachs of some of the dead deer we found undigested junk food, including alfalfa, heavy grains and cracked corn. When are people going to get it? Mule deer CANNOT digest cracked corn!” He went on to address how crowding deer, when feeding them grains and chicken food, not only kills them, but

spreads AHD quicker, and keeps them in town, preventing the deer from going out to the wintering grounds where healthy food is abundant. According to ODFW data, here’s what AHD is all about: • Deer infected with AHD can have symptoms that include foaming or drooling at the mouth, rapid or open-mouth breathing, diarrhea (possibly bloody), weakness, ulcers and mouth and throat abscesses. • During an outbreak in Oregon in 2002, deer of all ages and sex classes died. Between May and August 2002 biologists estimate more than 400 deer died from the virus in the Crooked River Ranch area of Central Oregon and near Sisters. Researchers are still trying to determine how many deer were exposed to AHD but survived. • AHD can be passed among deer through contact with bodily fluids, and possibly through airborne routes. The time between exposure and signs of illness or death is roughly one week. Deer populations in higher-density areas (such as those in town) could be at a higher risk, since their proximity makes it easier to transmit. It’s for that reason that ODFW encourages you to refrain from giving feed or water to deer. • To cut down on the incidence of the disease, officials advise monitoring, proper carcass disposal and avoiding moving infected live deer. There is, at present, no cure. • So far, humans don’t appear to get sick from AHD. Still, if you live or hunt in an area known to contain infected deer, wear rubber gloves if you’re handling carcasses. ODFW doesn’t know of any risk of eating meat from a deer infected with AHD, but recommend thoroughly

cooking meat from animals harvested in an infected area. So there you have it. AHD is nothing to fool around with, and who knows how many dead deer Kincaid Smelzer and his pals didn’t see on their hike through the Alder Springs mule deer wintering area. What I’d like to see: the Oregon Legislature getting busy passing a law making it illegal for anyone to feed mule deer and elk. If the ancient game harvest law is still on the books, it’s already illegal for anyone to kill a game animal going to or from water. Why not include feeding deer junk food as well? SW

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 22 / June 1, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ule deer have enough trouble getting through winter while coping with the cold and wet—so why people add on the extra burdens of disease and food they can’t digest is baffling to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) biologists. Come on, people. Stop feeding the mule deer, those constant moochers in our backyards. In fact, do just the opposite: shout at them, throw rags at them, squirt them with the garden hose, do everything (legally) possible to convince them that living in town is not good for their health. If the deer in town don’t get hit by a semi going down the main drag, they can bunch up and spread Adenovirus Hemorrhagic Disease—and that disease is really a killer. Kincaid Smeltzer, whom I frequently bump into at Bi Mart, went hiking with some of his pals recently in the Alder Springs Trail country, finding dead mule deer on and near the trail. Judging by the smell, he knew there were also more dead ones nearby.

properties that meet the standards. Developers will get a price break if they include design features that “improve air quality, encourage physical activity and incorporate common space, community gardens and playgrounds into newly constructed or rehabilitated affordable rental properties.” It is nice to see the affordable housing crisis being addressed in different areas and this certainly is a step to also help make affordable housing more attractive and healthier, which benefits the community as a whole.

I’m a 35-year-old masculine gay man. I’ve had relationships with (masculine) gay men, but I’m often attracted to masculine straight men. I’m not looking to “turn” them, and I’m ready for a relationship, so I’m concerned that I’m so frequently attracted to men who won’t be interested in me. What is this about? Do I need therapy? – Worried Gay Guy

Like you, I happen to like men who look like their hobbies are chopping down trees and going to war with foreign powers. I am not attracted to femmy men in body glitter with My Little Pony haircuts. Luckily for me, the sort of people I am attracted to did not require me to come out to my parents (“Mom and Dad…II-I’m straight”), nor are my preferences considered reason for suspicion that I might be a self-loathing heterosexual. As for you, because of the ugly views and behaviors toward gays, sure, it’s possible that your being attracted to straight men is some sort of internalized version of those camps for “praying away the gay.” (If that seems to be a possibility, yes, you should look into that – perhaps with a therapist’s help.) But if you were really so self-loathing and in denial about being gay, wouldn’t you just be sneaking glances at all the manly men on your way to marrying a woman and buying a house with a lot of closet space? Your being a manly man who’s into

boyfriends who wield power tools not intended for hairstyling might be explained by research on “assortative mating.” This basically means “like mates with like” – reflecting how we seem motivated to choose mates who are similar to us on various levels, from age to looks to race to personality. In the gay world, psychologist J. Michael Bailey’s research finds that masculine gay men tend to prefer masculine partners (Conan the Barbarian vs Conan the Feather Boa-tarian). Increased similarity between partners is associated with happier, longer-lasting relationships. This makes sense, considering that more similarity means more compatibility – from shared beliefs to shared interests and activAmy Alkon ities. So, it’s good news you’re eyeing the manlier men, even if many are ultimately “for display purposes only.” Of course, it is possible that you’re telling yourself you want a relationship but picking people totally unavailable for one. (For straight women, this often involves a one-sided affair with a member of the British royal family.) If that isn’t the case, why worry that your ideal relationship is basically a nature preserve for chest hair and testosterone? Just accept that it might take a little more effort to find a boyfriend for whom “contouring” is not skillful makeup application but helping you get the back of your head with the Weed Whacker before your welding group arrives.

ASTROLOGY

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The most intense

CANCER (June 21July 22): Nobody likes to be scrutinized or critiqued or judged. But we Crabs (yes, I’m one of you) are probably touchier about that treatment than any other sign of the zodiac. (Hypersensitivity is a trait that many astrologers ascribe to Cancerians.) However, many of us do allow one particular faultfinder to deride us: the nagging voice in the back of our heads. Sometimes we even give free rein to its barbs. But I would like to propose a transformation of this situation. Maybe we could scold ourselves less, and be a bit more open to constructive feedback coming from other people. Starting now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The lion’s potency, boldness, and majesty are qualities you have a mandate to cultivate in the next three weeks. To get in the righteous mood, I suggest you gaze upon images and videos of lions. Come up with your own version of a lion’s roar -- I mean actually make that sound -and unleash it regularly. You might also want to try the yoga posture known as the lion pose. If you’re unfamiliar with it, go here for tips: tinyurl.com/lionpose. What else might help you invoke and express the unfettered leonine spirit?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?” French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan posed that question. I invite you to put it at the top of your list of hot topics to meditate on. In doing so, I trust you won’t use it as an excuse to disparage your companions for their inadequacies. Rather, I hope it will mobilize you to supercharge your intimate alliances; to deepen your awareness of the synergistic beauty you could create together; to heighten your ability to be given the universe by those whose fates are interwoven with yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From my study of the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, the hidden chambers beneath the Great Pyramid of Cheops, and the current astrological omens, I have determined that now is a favorable time for you to sing liberation songs with cheeky authority . . . to kiss the sky and dance with the wind on a beach or hilltop . . . to gather your most imaginative allies and brainstorm about what you really want to do in the next five years. Do you dare to slip away from business-as-usual so you can play in the enchanted land of what-if? If you’re smart, you will escape the grind and grime of the daily rhythm so you can expand your mind to the next largest size.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “On some hill of despair,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell, “the bonfire you kindle can light the great sky -- though it’s true, of course, to make it burn you have to throw yourself in.” You may not exactly feel despair, Scorpio. But I suspect you are in the throes of an acute questioning that makes you feel close to the edge of forever. Please consider the possibility that it’s a favorable time to find out just how much light and heat are hidden inside you. Your ache for primal fun and your longing to accelerate your soul’s education are converging with your quest to summon a deeper, wilder brilliance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re in a phase when you have the power to find answers to questions that have stumped you for a while. Why? Because you’re more open-minded and curious than usual. You’re also ready to be brazenly honest with yourself. Congrats! In light of the fact that you’ll be lucky at solving riddles, I’ve got three good

ones for you to wrestle with. 1. Which of your anxieties may actually be cover-ups for a lazy refusal to change a bad habit? 2. What resource will you use more efficiently when you stop trying to make it do things it’s not designed to do? 3. What blessing will you receive as soon as you give a clear signal that you are ready for it?

A pocket guide to booze, bars, and nightlife distributed city wide in the June 8th edition of the Source Weekly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical Capricorn cultivates fervent passions, even to the point of obsession. Almost no one knows their magnitude, though, because the members of your tribe often pursue their fulfillment with methodical, business-like focus. But I wonder if maybe it’s a good time to reveal more of the raw force of this driving energy than you usually do. It might humanize you in the eyes of potential helpers who see you as too strong to need help. And it could motivate your allies to provide the extra support and understanding you’ll need in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to carry out a flashy flirtation with the color red. I dare you to wear red clothes and red jewelry. Buy yourself red roses. Sip red wine and savor strawberries under red lights. Sing Elvis Costello’s “The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes” and Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.” Tell everyone why 2017 is a red-letter year for you. For extra credit, murmur the following motto whenever a splash of red teases and pleases your imagination: “My red-hot passion is my version of high fashion.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you want a puppy, start by asking for a pony,” read the bumper sticker on the Lexus SUV I saw. That confused me. Would the owner of a Lexus SUV be the type of person who didn’t expect to get what she really wanted? In any case, Pisces, I’m conveying a version of this bumper-sticker wisdom to you. If you want your domestic scene to thrive even more than it already does, ask for a feng shui master to redesign your environment so it has a perfect flow of energy. If you want a community that activates the best in you, ask for a utopian village full of emotionally intelligent activists. If you want to be animated by a focused goal that motivates you to wake up excited each morning, ask for a glorious assignment that will help save the world.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life is in the mood to communicate with you rather lyrically. Here are just a few of the signs and portents you may encounter, along with theories about their meaning. If you overhear a lullaby, it’s time to seek the influence of a tender, nurturing source. If you see a type of fruit or flower you don’t recognize, it means you have a buried potential you don’t know much about, and you’re ready to explore it further. If you spy a playing card in an unexpected place, trust serendipity to bring you what you need. If a loud noise arrives near a moment of decision: Traditionally it signifies caution, but these days it suggests you should be bold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your body is holy and magic and precious. I advise you not to sell it or rent it or compromise it in any way -- especially now, when you have an opening to upgrade your relationship with it. Yes, Taurus, it’s time to attend to your sweet flesh and blood with consummate care. Find out exactly what your amazing organism needs to feel its best. Lavish it with pleasure and healing. Treat it as you would a beloved child or animal. I also hope you will have intimate conversations with the cells that compose your body. Let them know you love and appreciate them. Tell them you’re ready to collaborate on a higher level.

moments the universe has ever known are the next 15 seconds,” said philosopher Terence McKenna. He was naming a central principle of reality: that every new NOW is a harvest of everything that has ever happened; every fresh moment is a blast of novelty that arises in response to the sum total of all history’s adventures. This is always true, of course. But I suspect the phenomenon will be especially pronounced for you in the near future. More than usual, you may find that every day is packed with interesting feelings and poignant fun and epic realizations. This could be pleasurable, but also overwhelming. Luckily, you have the personal power necessary to make good use of the intensity.

She’s baaaack! We like our cannabis columnist’s girlfriend’s writing so much that we had to bring you another one this week. Enjoy, canna-lovelies!

s my boyfriend recovers from his newest self-designed cannabis challenge, AKA “How Many Marijuana Gummies Can I Fit in My Mouth at One Time?” (Answer: 28, and also, why babe? Why?), I’ve been asked to take over this week’s column. Look, I’ll be honest: I’m not a big pothead, but I live with one. And I’m often asked what it’s like to be the girlfriend of someone so immersed in the wide, wide world of weed. “Immersed” is an apt term. If Josh and I were hamsters, weed would be our wood shavings. There is weed everyfuckingwhere. And by that, I mean you can open any drawer, box, cabinet, Sterilite tub, suitcase, or duffle bag and find some form of weed. I’m fairly certain that glass jars of various sizes are breeding like rabbits while we sleep. If there’s a flat surface at our place, it’s ripe for the placement of weed—most likely already ground up. Which is awesome for our two cats, who have zero concerns about walking through piles of ground-up weed. The jars. Dear god, there are so many jars, in so many sizes, filled with so many types of weed. All labeled clearly and lined up by date, right? No. Nooooo, quite the opposite. Last week, I asked what was in a jar that had burst forth from one of our overstuffed cabinets. Captain Chronic peered at it for a long moment and solemnly responded, “I think it’s weed, babe.” You... don’t... say. How is all of this weed consumed? Through vaporizers. But if you think a single vape would suffice, I’m afraid you’d be quite wrong. No, we have an entire eight-cube Ikea structure—the kind used by normal people to store things like records or books—that’s

filled with all manner of tabletop and portable vapes. And, of course, their corresponding power cords, carrying cases, spare parts, cleaning tools, and printed instructions. Again, are these labeled? Organized? In any semblance of order? Survey says: No. Josh calls it the “Hall of Fame.” I call it the “The Thing Most Likely to Fall and Kill Us in an Earthquake.” There are also the academic journals, i.e., the 15-year-old issues of High Times, Skunk, Weed World, plus shelves of books on how to grow, medical uses for cannabis and more than a dozen volumes on cannabis cooking. These have been very useful in helping my own Bernie Crocker whip up batch after batch of his weed-infused edibles, which I admit have been quite tasty. What these creations have not been? Marked in any way as being weed-infused. Anytime I find something homemade on the counter, I’m now conditioned to automatically ask, “Is there weed in this? Seriously, is there?” Maybe that’s paranoid on my part, but you try consuming 500 milligrams of THC when you thought you were eating a freshly made cookie, and let me know if I’m paranoid. Yes, I’m paranoid—THAT’S WHAT A HUGE ACCIDENTAL DOSE OF THC DOES TO A NORMAL PERSON. Last weekend, Josh had to sample 31 different strains as an “Expert Judge” for a weed event. I was given the enviable task of jotting down his musings as he vaped all 31 strains at three different temperatures. “This one tastes like... lemons. This one tastes like fuel. This one tastes like fuel, perhaps made from... lemons.” Oh, does it now? To be fair, the term “canna widow” doesn’t quite apply to me; he’s not dead, at least not yet. As Josh likes to point out, no one EVER dies from over-consumption of cannabis (point taken, babe). And thank god, because at the rate he consumes it, I’d have him on a death watch for sure.
