TROY FIELD SHOULD BE PROTECTED AND PRESERVED AS A HISTORIC COMMUNITY OPEN SPACE.

Some people think of it as their green space that has always been there, some remember their earlier years playing sports or ice skating on it.

But Troy Field goes far beyond that- recently submitted photographs of the field have been recognized by the Landmarks Committee. These photos take Troy Field back to 1907. This is before the historic core and residential was built and just 2 years after Bend became a city. Troy Field is what shaped the area, and community—the early residents of Bend, intentionally built around their community field.

With these now known facts of Troy Field’s historic significance, one would think that the public entities would want to protect it and celebrate it with its age of over 100 years. So far they have chosen to overlook the historic field, and continue to consider it as nothing more than a piece of profitable, buildable, property—something they believe can be substituted with another green space as part of their idea of a development - which is to dig up the parking lot on the other side of the street, and make that the green space instead.

Ms. Leman parrots the corporate media’s talking points about Bernie Sanders--points that are predictable because Clinton (more so even than Trump) is Corporate America’s Candidate. This election, which is more about rejecting vs. tolerating the system than it is about Democrats vs. Republicans, is boiling down to one very interesting question: Will the Democratic Party, which in recent decades has turned into a fashionable replica of the Nixon-era Republican Party, so reject Sanders, a Roosevelt-era Democrat, that they are willing to risk a Trump presidency? Or will Democratic superdelegates, instituted by the party in the 1980s to ensure a nominee with the best chance of winning, live up to their mandate and make sure Sanders trumps Clinton?

-Matt Orr

This plan by the City and School District goes against the City’s General Plan of Historic Preservation which states :

IN RESPONSE TO "HELP HILLARY TROUNCE TRUMP," (5/26): VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE, NOT YOUR FEARS

“Rapid growth and development make it imperative that the city’s historical and cultural resources be identified and protected.”

I agree with Dorothy Leman (May 26th) that defeating Trump is imperative. His presidency would be a terrible step backward. The rest of the world is watching with disbelief. This is why I support the only candidate capable of “trouncing” him in November, Bernie Sanders.

Every poll shows him winning by a landslide. I ask all Hillary supporters to re-consider. She is already behind Trump in some polls and that was before the damning Inspector General’s report on illegal handling of her e-mails. Even if she is not indicted later this year, Trump will have a field day with “Crooked Hillary.” Independents and Bernie supporters will refuse to “hold their nose” and vote for her. Don’t underestimate the populist anger toward Wall Street and she is the Wall Street candidate.

Troy Field has always been there for the public to enjoy, while the city has grown from 200 residents to 90,000 residents. All those years it has benefited residents, visitors and the city.

Development and tourism should not come first.

Together we can save Troy Field.

-Julia Ohlson

IN RESPONSE TO "HELP HILLARY TROUNCE TRUMP," (5/26) Dorothy Leman (May 26) says that we should all rally behind Hillary because “the Blessed Virgin Mary isn’t running this year.” That may be true, but the closest thing to the second coming is both running, and, according to polls, stands as the Democratic party’s best hope for defeating Donald Trump. Perversely, he is the very person Ms. Leman begs Democrats to abandon.

Unlike Clinton, Bernie Sanders has not risen to prominence staffing tables for the temple

@sourceweekly

In fact, I am one who will never vote for her, or Trump, for moral reasons. Hillary is a “hawk” who wants to put boots on the ground in Syria and Iran. She and her Wall Street pals are happy to finance endless war. She has left many failed states in her wake (Syria, Libya, Honduras ) and the blood of thousands is on her hands. The real reason she set up a private e-mail server was to shield herself and her Clinton Foundation dealings from Freedom

He is the first candidate since Nader who cares enough about average Americans to center his platform on their needs (blessed are the meek) and, unlike Nader, he has the political capital to win, making Ms Leman’s comparisons to Nader most puzzling and irrationally fretful.

Dorothy, you have it dead wrong when you say that the Affordable Care act is cheaper than single payer. The health insurance industry adds 300 billion dollars to the cost.

Senior Games are Back NEWS Oregon 5k will benefit Disabled American Veterans program

By Angela Moore

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / June 2, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

T

he Oregon Senior Games (OSG) is a collection of organized athletic events that are open for active adults, age 50 and older, and is a qualifier for ranking in the National Senior Games in Birmingham, Ala. Oregon was one of the last states to participate in this event.

Going on its third year come this June, OSG continues to grow in popularity and participation numbers. With each of the previous two years having been so well received, a beneficiary has been added to this year’s games: veterans.

There are 16 events in the games. Each game is highly organized with individual departments responsible for putting together its own system and facilities, under OSG as the umbrella organization, and the National Senior Games Association being the parent organization. Activities include, but are not limited to: archery, golf, a 5K run/walk, basketball, swimming, and track and field.

Hank Therien, special projects manager for Visit Bend, has worked diligently to organize and build the OSG to become the statewide success it is becoming.

Growing from 500 participants the first year, and 600 the second, and OSG is

expected to have 750 athletes this year.

“We’ve been very focused on putting on a strong event. It’s more about having an excuse to stay active,” says Therien.

Helping one another is a general theme of Therien’s. “The OSG is as much a social event as a competitive one,” says Therien.

This year one event will also be adding charity to its list of goals. Through sponsors, donations and fees, this year’s 5K, called Sweat for Vets, will be raising money to purchase a new van that shuttles veterans from Bend to Portland Veterans Hospital. Driver and coordinator for the shuttle, Paul Dewitt, a veteran himself, as well as having served over 20 years, sees the day-to-day needs of his fellow veterans as well as the need to keep this program going. “The van runs every weekday. That’s about 1,800 miles a week. You can imagine the wear and tear that can take place quickly. In many cases they don’t have any way to get to their appointments. They really depend on us,” says Dewitt.

Athletes from all over the state come to join in on the fun. Participants include Caye Poe, 73, and her 77-year-old husband, John Francis. Poe and Francis

live in Dayton, Ore., and this year will be the second time the couple of 14 years has been registered for the event. Poe will compete in the 10K race walk, while Francis will run the 5K. Both have lived a very active life and are no strangers to athletic adventures like motorcycle racing or backpacking in Mexico. Poe laments that running no longer agrees with her hip, but that doesn’t mean she can’t walk. “My hip just meant that it was time to change direction. It’s amazing to me that when someone can no longer do something, they just stop doing anything,” she says as she brings up what it was like to attempt something new and how it can be scary. “My advice to seniors out there is to just try it! You had to learn how to feed yourself, how to walk, and how did you manage that? You took it one step at a time,” she says.

Florence Latter, 92, participates in the 50 meters in the track and field events. The last two years she was the winner of the Sage Award which recognizes the most senior athlete in attendance. Latter has participated in the OSG since it started in 2014. Living in Grants Pass, Latter looks forward to this event all year long.

She preaches the importance of staying

active, especially at her age. “It keeps you young! If you can’t run, then walk,” she says. Latter believes that having events like the OSG is great motivation for fun and staying fit. “It keeps seniors up, active and out of the house. Nothing is worse than just sitting there,” she says. Her daughter, Peggy Payne, who also lives in Grants Pass, comments on how this event isn’t just for her mom and those like her, but rather for the family members on the sidelines as well. “Our whole family tries to get together, and when my mom crosses that finish line, it is so sweet. We all had tears in our eyes,” she says, then quickly goes on to remark how the event isn’t just about placing, but more about participation. “Everyone there is just so great. When competitors finish their part of the race they all turn around and cheer each other on. Everyone is just so supportive of one another. It’s amazing,” says Payne. SW Oregon Senior Games is presented by Humana and Bend Memorial Clinic. For more information on registration and a complete list of events and times, visit the website at www.oregonseniorgames.com.

Innovation promises security on the reservation

By Jaclyn Brandt

ocated a little more than an hour north of Bend, The Warm Springs Reservation consists of approximately 1,000 square miles of land. The area is serene, with the Deschutes River running through the middle—a perfect tranquil setting. But life hasn’t always been easy here. With an estimated 6,500 people living on the reservation— and fewer than 65 small businesses to provide jobs, the reservation has faced tough times. Things are looking up, though, and there are plans to improve the economic opportunities on the reservation, with the goal of providing tribal members with jobs—or a way to own their own businesses.

L

In April, the lumber mill on the reservation announced its closure, putting more than 85 people out of work. Warm Springs Forest Product Industries was established by the Tribal Council in 1967, and has worked since then to provide jobs, education, and social benefits for community members. Recently, they decided to wind down operations because of “a reduced log supply, an aging physical plant, and a changing economy,” the Tribe said in a news release, adding that the closure is “to protect the Tribe and its resources and to minimize the impact on individual tribal members.”

The closure was just one of many factors working against those who live on the reservation. The isolation from the rest of the state, and the fact that many members don’t own cars, makes it difficult to find jobs outside of their community. The closest city to the Warm Springs Reservation is Madras, which is 15 miles away and can be a treacherous drive in the winter.

Currently steps are being taken to change the situation and to utilize the talents and skills that exist among community members.

A Cannabis Future The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs is taking control of its future and looking to invest in the Tribe for years to come. The largest project is taking advantage of a new industry in Oregon—the cannabis industry. The Tribe announced last year a plan to launch a cannabis project, which has been moving forward quickly.

The project is the brainchild of the Tribe’s economic development corporation, Warm Springs Ventures.

The organization was started in 2002 “to develop jobs on the reservation, create revenues for the Tribe, and to diversify the economy, as well as to identify economic investments,” according to Don Sampson,

CEO of Warm Springs Ventures.

In December 2014, the Department of Justice released a policy guideline called the Wilkinson Memo that said tribes could engage in the cannabis industry as long as they followed certain guidelines and policies.

“We saw this as an opportunity,” Sampson said, explaining that after the memo, numerous community members approached the organization about the possibilities.

In February 2015, the Board of Directors voted to recommend the idea to the Tribal Council, and over a 10-month period, the Tribe has been working with Gov. Kate Brown’s office, the Oregon Attorney General, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and other agencies, to develop regulations to meet federal policy guidelines.

The Tribe has broken ground on its first cultivation facility, which will be around 36,000 square feet with funds from its own business investment revolving fund, as well as from an investment partner. The Tribe will also be teaming with a management company that will help to manage operations of the facility, including cultivation, extraction, and retail and wholesale sales.

“It will produce about 55 jobs on the facility which is very timely because of the closure of the mill,” Sampson said. “We will produce another 30 jobs off the reservation at our retail stores. We are looking at locations including Portland, Salem, Eugene, and possibly Bend,” as well as a few other locations for the future.

The Tribe will operate the retail stores, but will also plan to sell its product in other stores within Oregon.

Those immediate 55 jobs will be important, especially as a way to replace some of the 85 jobs lost at the mill. In addition, the Tribe will also be offering im-

portant training for the employees because some of the jobs will be very technical, especially in the process of extraction.

“Basically our goal is that we will teach and train our tribal members to learn the business and over the next three years hope to be in a position to fully manage and operate it while our management partner will slowly phase out,” Sampson said.

The project will not only offer jobs and training for tribal members, but the hope is that it will also offer support for the Tribe for years to come. According to Sampson, a casino earns around 40-45 percent profit margin (also known as EBITDA), but a cannabis operation will earn more like 80 percent.

“Our advantages are that our production costs are significantly lower than what you might find off the reservation,” Sampson explained. “Also, we are a vertically integrated business, which means we control the different levels of the industry where there are markups or costs. So when we are cultivating ...continues on page 9

They are hoping to have the cultivation facility completed around October of this year, with their products in stores by January 2017.

“It’s part of our long-term rebuilding plan over the next five to 10 years,” Sampson explained. “We’re confident once we get these profitable businesses started we can start providing dividends to the Tribe. “

Indianpreneurship Luckily for motivated tribal members, there is the Warm Springs Community Action Team. A small staff of only three (plus an AmeriCorps Vista volunteer), the team provides training, and even grants to help individuals gain skills or education needed for their future.

The Community Action Team began in 2008 to promote economic development and community development on the reservation. Although the group’s original goal was to end poverty on the reservation, Chris Watson, Warm Springs Community Action Team executive director, explained their new goal is to promote personal growth, “so that people could be more self-sufficient, so that they could do things that would enable them to support themselves, their families, and their community. It is a more positive way of thinking.”

The organization is working to enable community members to improve their own lives through many avenues. Their main program is the Individual Development Accounts or IDA. Those accounts are a part of the Oregon IDA Initiative from the Oregon Office of Housing and Community Service and are funded by tax credits. The accounts are a matching program for lower income people who lack assets, but who want to build assets.

The recipients can also renovate a house, purchase equipment for disability, or purchase equipment that enables them to get to work or school.

“We have a lot of people on the reservation that bought vehicles through our program,” Watson said. “I am happy every time I see some of these cars driving by that I know people were able to get through our program.”

The money doesn’t come to the members for free. They have to take classes, depending on what they will use the funds for, and they also have to save money to receive money.

According to Watson, the match rate statewide tends to be three to one— for instance, for every dollar someone saves, three dollars goes into their account. However, in the Warm Springs Community Action Team’s program, they have a five to one match rate—for every dollar the participant saves, they receive five. The classes they are taking are relevant to their goals. For instance, if they are starting a small business, they will take a financial skills class and one called “Indianpreneurship”—to help them learn how to start a business.

“It’s not like we’re just giving away money,” Watson explained. “Instead, it’s a way that people can build a skill set and can also save some of their own money to get assets to actually do something. And we’re finding that it’s really helping some individuals to help shape their lives.”

The Warm Springs Community Action Team has taken the place of the Tribe’s small business center, which closed in 2006. So far, around 50 people have graduated from the IDA program and there are currently 110 people enrolled.

“There are single moms with three kids that are able to get their kids to school and get to work, for example, because of this,” Watson explained.

The heritage of the tribes on the reservation is a starting point for many businesses, and the IDA program is ...continues on page 10

For instance, a ceramic artist on the reservation already had purchased a spinning wheel, but with the program, she was able to buy 500 pounds of clay, carving tools, and kiln time. The program helped her launch a business, and is helping her share her talent worldwide. Although not everyone is an artist, there are many business opportunities which can also incorporate the culture and heritage of the Tribe.

“There was a guy who has a handyman service, there are people who are buying cattle, one guy did gopher trapping, people bought fishing boats, people are starting food carts as a result of this program,” Watson explained. “It could be someone who bought a wood splitter and a chain

where they’re all going.”

The lack of business and job opportunities seen on the Warms Springs Reservation is not uncommon among reservations across the United States.

But the Community Action Team is helping the community members realize their potential and what they can do with a little help.

“And that is the joy of this job—that we actually get to see people when they get into the program who think ‘this is too good to be true.’ And they start saving money and they start to realize it’s getting matched, but it takes a while for them to get there,” Watson explained. “Every time someone gets to the point where they have met their savings goal and then they are making that matched withdrawal where they are purchasing whatever capital assets

a building is something that is not so easy to do.”

The plan is to take an old building—the Old Commissary—which is more than 100 years old, and fix it up. According to Watson, the building is full of asbestos, lead-based paint, mold, feral cats and rodents, but it has potential.

The building would also house a new artisans co-op, which Watson said, “would enable at least the beginning of a more entrepreneurial culture here.

There would be a place and space to gather, where social and cultural relations would intertwine. We hope it would serve as a place from which business could spring outwards.”

Gerald Danzuka is the small business counselor and credit coach with the Warm Springs Community Action Team, and has been a part of the

they need for their business...every time that happens you can just see it in their face, you can see how happy they are.”

And while there are those looking to do what they can to support their family, there are also those who are looking to their skills and hoping to build something a little larger.

Small Business Incubator / Artisans Co-Op

“There are people with bigger ideas that don’t just want to buy a food cart, but buy some boats along with that and sell some Columbia River salmon in a food cart somewhere,” he explained. “There is a wide range of business ideas and it’s fun to see

The Community Action Team is also working to start a small business incubator. The organization believes there are 14 retail businesses on the reservation and “maybe 50 others,” according to Watson, but “the idea of having a small business incubator addresses one of the challenges small businesses confront here, which is no office space, no space, no buildings. And to put up

discussion on the artisan’s co-op from the beginning. The discussion didn’t start as a way to build an artisan’s coop, but was a discussion on how to build any co-op — and what industry should be their focus. Danzuka grew up raising cattle, and thought a beef co-op would be the best way to go.

But the current needs of community members are what helped make their final decision.

“We sat down and said, ‘What would benefit most now and what would benefit most later?' and based on all of our experience it came down to... we have the most experienced arts and crafts people, more bead workers, more drum makers. Those are really

low-cost areas. So that was the logical way to go because it’s something you can see.”

Danzuka said the co-op would allow individual businesses to leverage their resources, including helping them with marketing to expand and to reach a larger audience.

“The co-op is really designed for expanding outward,” he explained.

Danzuka has hopes of utilizing local events, such as the solar eclipse later this year, to help their artisans grow their businesses.

The business incubator and artisan’s co-op would not only create a sense of community among community members, but would also enable them to learn how to sell their products.

“There is a lot of talent here and a lot of knowledge here,” Watson explained.

“And yes, it’s true the educational attainment isn’t as high here as it is in a lot of places off reservation. But there is a lot of ingenuity, a lot of people that have really innovative spirits, a lot of great ideas around business.”

Watson estimates the reservation currently has around 25 percent of the jobs actually needed by the Tribe, and projects such as the IDA program, the artisan’s co-op, and the cannabis operation is a way for the community members to change that. With the mill closure and other factors affecting the community members on the reservation, help is much needed. The idea of the initiatives, including the cannabis project, is to get that help to their community members as soon as possible.

“There are going to be some very critically needed revenues from this project to the Tribe and we think that will build over time,” Sampson explained. “We think that in the first three years, we will be able to exceed the revenues of all the other enterprises combined. Very timely, much needed.”

SOUND Afro/Cuban Explosion

Spend some free time with Tiempo Libre

ALBUM REVIEW

By Angela Moore

By Jared Rasic 13 In the 1990s when the Soviet Union fell and Cuba’s economy struggled, the rise of timba music helped stimulate the nightlife as tourists flooded the cities.

Most Americans’ familiarity with Cuban music began with the Buena Vista Social Club album in 1997. Ry Cooder traveled to Cuba and recorded with local musicians who were mostly unheard of outside their area. This record (and subsequent documentary) made Cuba real in such a way that a majority of non Miami-based Americans hadn’t known. This started a bit of a love affair with Cuban music in the US, and shed light on the legendary music scene of Havana in the 1950s.

“[Our sound is] a celebration of life and music—getting people up and dancing and forgetting all their cares and inhibitions."

- Pianist and founder Jorge Gomez

“Part of our mission in Tiempo Libre is to make every performance a true party,” says pianist and founder Jorge Gomez.

“A celebration of life and music—getting people up and dancing and forgetting all their cares and inhibitions. I can say that over the course of our 13-year history, there have been only a handful of times when the audience didn’t end up on their feet dancing, moving.”

It is almost impossible not to move something while listening to Tiempo Libre and that stems from its roots in timba music. Timba differs from salsa not just in sound, but in origin.

The genre combines aspects of rumba, guaguanco (percussive rumba) and batá drumming with the ideas of polytheistic Santeria worship. During its modern explosion, timba stepped from the shadow of rumba and started applying jazz, funk, rock and Puerto Rican folk to the sound.

That connection with Cuban music has carried over to the success of Tiempo Libre. Even for non-Spanish speaking listeners, the band’s music feels personal.

“Music is how we live our lives and so our songs are, by definition, personal” says Gomez. “But we are also touching on universal themes: life, love, longing, sadness, joy. It has been very gratifying that so many different kinds of audiences and listeners have embraced our music. I suppose it might, in fact, be that mix of the personal and the universal that appeals. People are attracted by the ‘otherness’ of Cuba, particularly given the history between our two countries.

But at the same time, they feel in our songs those basic deep emotions that link us all...those things that make us

human.”

Tiempo Libre is Miami-based, but all members are Cuban-born. The band, formed in 2001, has taken its love of Afro-Cuban music and set out to become the first authentic Cuban timba band in the United States. Fifteen years later, the group has been nominated for three Grammys, has signed with its biggest record label yet (Universal Music Latin Entertainment) and is now touring all over the world.

Whether it’s an intimate indoor venue or a massive outdoor one, Tiempo Libre finds the act of playing music rewarding in and of itself. “Music is not only how we make a living, it is how we live,” says Gomez. “When we are together, we make music, because that is the way in which we connect with each other and the world. So that means that we don’t have a preference in the size of the venue or if our concert is outside or inside, so long as we are communicating with our audiences and hopefully giving them a taste of our Cuban musical joy. That said, there is definitely something unique and magical about being outdoors in a beautiful setting—like Bend!”

If English is your first and only language, do not be discouraged. The joy of simple human connection rings forth in each of Tiempo Libre’s songs. For music, after all, is the universal language. SW Tiempo Libre June 5, 2:30pm Les Schwab Amphitheater, 344 Shevlin Hixon Dr., Bend No cover

Parlour “Days of Plenty” Parlour is a group in Bend that umbrellas four members known around town for their classic take on folk music, participation in the local scene and their tendency to drink and be merry. Having just released its first album, this folk band graces the stages of many local venues with no sign of slowing down. "Days of Plenty" is the first album from the group, which has been together three years, and showcases the blood, sweat and tears put into each of the 12 tracks on the record.

Mark Quon is not only the lead songwriter, but also shows clear talents in both guitar and vocals. Linda Quon, who happens to be married to Mark, also shares in the writing and vocal talents shared by her husband. Susan Bonacker plays fiddle and harmonizes along with the group, while Mike Potter lends his skills on all things strings and still manages to sing a tune.

“I think our band makes music because it’s something we just need to do,” says Mark Quon, as he goes on to discuss the importance of that creative escape.

“Most of our songs tell personal or historical events. I would describe our music as simple and honest,” he adds.

Tracks on the album include songs about love, heartache, lessons in life and the need for music. Songs such as the opener to the album, “Strike Me Down,” puts melody to a confession of desire, while track four, “Amanda Lynn,” puts forth an ode to a life enhanced only by rhythm and sound.

"Days of Plenty" was released in the summer of 2015 and was produced by the group itself. Folk music is often the soundtrack of the working man, and the efforts made by the group’s members are a nod to that mentality. Much of the music is created, produced and promoted by either the Quons or Potter. Some upcoming shows include playing at Bend Brewing July 1 and Sip Wine come July 7. “Our plans are to keep writing, practicing, giggling and drinking. We’re kind of known for that last part,” jokes Mark Quon. For full listings of upcoming shows, check the Source calendar or www.parlourfolk.com. SW

T

iempo Libre means “free time” in Spanish, a phrase that perfectly describes the feel and themes of this Miami-based Afro-Cuban band. Tiempo Libre’s music feels like a summer Saturday afternoon when the worries of the week are left behind and it’s time to relax and enjoy life. Making their shows feel more like a yard party than a concert, the Afro-Cuban music is jazzy and funky with flashes of hip-hop and folk peppered throughout.

A

real mainstay of the Bend music scene, the free Summer Sunday Concerts at Les Schwab Amphitheater, offer something for just about everyone. Regardless of socio-economic status, Bend music lovers can access some of the finest shows of the year at these free concerts, providing an opportunity for small and mid-sized bands to get in front of several thousand people.

With a capacity of 8,000, even a slower Sunday show will bring in a significant audience for these bands.

This issue we’ll focus on the three bands playing Sundays in June, but look for information on the July bands later this month.

We’ll cover the Latin/Afro-Caribbean group Tiempo Libre in a larger piece this issue, so let's dive right into Bel Mizik.

Hailing from Portland, Bel Mizik’s sound is something akin to Creole/ hip-hop. The seven-piece band stands out with its instrumentals in a way that seems both improvisational yet tight.

Lead singer Anael Jeannis combines his Haitian French Creole/English lyrics with hip-hop, jazz and jam band flows to create an incredibly unique sound. Here is a selection from an interview with Rod Meyer, the keyboard player and co-founder.

Source Weekly: Where did you guys come up with the Creole/hip-hop vibe?

Rod Meyer: The Creole/hip-hop thing comes 100 percent from our lead singer Anael Jeannis.

TSW: How did you guys find each other?

RM: The origins of the band are a good story. I (Rod, keyboard player, cofound-

er) knew AJ’s cousin Jean from the gym, and one day he invited me to join the Zoe Boys Haitian hoops team in the PDX City League. They needed another big man to help AJ out. So I joined their team and I got to know the group.

SW: And it took off from there?

RM: Yeah, I invited AJ and crew over for jam and barbecue in August 2012. I had no idea about his skills on the mic, but he jumped on it at the barbecue and we all loved it. Out of that night, we decided we should start a band. It took a while to stabilize the lineup, made up mostly of my friends from the scene.

Had a rock feel early on, then we added a couple horns in 2013 and the sound came together more in a neo-soul feel, and we all dug it. Basically our sound has been out together by seven people from different musical backgrounds, with AJ’s lyrics and hip-hop background really driving the group.

Five Pint Mary is a straight-ahead Irish folk/punk band that has been playing all over Central Oregon for years. Their shows are high energy, their music infectious and their performances enthralling. With a dash of bluegrass added to their Irish traditionals and originals, they are a band thriving on true unpredictability. Here is an excerpt from an interview with vocalist and guitarist Sarah Pollock-Holmes.

Source Weekly: Do you prefer indoor shows or outdoor shows?

Sarah Pollock-Holmes: We love playing the outdoor shows. Our biannual outdoor St. Paddy’s performances at McMenamins Old St. Francis School, out at O’Kane’s, is our absolute favorite. Always a great crowd of revelers (regardless of how cold it may be) filled

with the kind of energy that we feed off of and have a ton of fun with. But as local musicians all know, outdoor shows can be a hit and miss experience.

SW: But no preference?

SPH: It’s really apples and oranges to us, two different experiences altogether. We would have to say that we appreciate them both. Nothing beats a crowded room of energetic and spirited dancers on a mission to have a memorable Saturday night, whisky and pints a’flowing, and smiling faces all around.

SW: Have you played Les Schwab?

SPH: This will be our first time playing the Les Schwab Amphitheater, so yeah, and we have nothing but great expectations. Having attended many great shows there, it’s a real honor for Five Pint Mary to have been asked up to the stage.

SW: Is there an area of the country you prefer touring in the most?

SPH: For us, performing at home in Bend really is the best, especially in the summer. We experience a great mix of locals and tourists alike, coming out to hear us perform. We love the uniqueness of this, having met many great folks from literally all over the world, while delivering our own piece of the diverse and talented music scene that is found right here in Central Oregon!

WELCOME FROM OUR

STEERING COMMITEE & PLANNING TEAM Dear Fellow Bendite, Bend’s growth is palpable. You see it in the bright new wood of constructiongoing up all over town.

You hear it in the sound of a jackhammer busting up old streets for repaving. You feel it as you sit through two red lights before making it through an intersection.

And you ask yourself: How will we protect the livability of this incredible place in the face of all this growth and change?

Seth Anderson American Institute of Architects

Joey Drucker City Club of Central Oregon

Richard Ross American Planning Association

Sara Q. Thompson

Kim Gammond Central Oregon Association of REALTORS®

Susanna Julber City of Bend

The answer is simpler than you think. Together we CAN shape the future of Bend by educating, empowering and engaging each other to get ahead of the curve, to direct this growth, and to harness the energy and vitality it brings to our city.

These are the goals of the Bend Livability Project.

Please join us for a legitimately off-the- charts series of events kicking off this Thursday, June 2 and running through Sunday, June 5. These events feature the premier arts and culture organization of our city, 19 sessions on livability issues presented by upwards of 60 speakers from as far away as Chicago, and a Day of Action that will bring the city’s first bike boulevards to life.

With the Project weekend, we’ll build the momentum we need to successfully launch six new initiatives in housing, transportation, neighborhood livability and city governance—the kinds of civic engagement initiatives that truly do shape the future of a community.

Come check it all out! We can’t wait to see you there!

UGB REVOLUTIONIZING PLANNING IN BEND

DeeDee Johnson

Bend Area Habitat for Humanity

Judy Watts Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council

OSU-Cascades

Westin Webre Age-Friendly Bend

It’s no understatement that the urban growth boundary expansion process is revolutionizing the way we plan and design Bend for the future. It’s our task to show we are densifying, urbanizing and redeveloping the land inside our current city boundaries efficiently before expanding outward onto undeveloped land. Combine this with our expectation that 40 percent more people will be living here by 2030 and we’ve got one heck of a chapter unfolding before us.

But though we may have different feelings about the changes ahead, we ALL can be involved in shaping how the chapter plays out.

We’ve identified nine “opportunity areas” in our city, where we intend to direct the majority of this growth and change.

These are the places where, over time, we’ll increase housing density, commercial and cultural amenities, and ensure transportation options that allow us to leave our cars at home or never even have them at all.

Areas like the Makers District—also called the Central Area District—near downtown between the parkway and Third Street, the university district along Century Drive, and the industrial zone near Crux Fermentation Project are all places where exciting redevelopment opportunities are on the horizon. What kinds of vibrant urban neighborhoods can we create there?

And undeveloped places like the lands of southeast Bend are our chance to build beautiful, extremely well-planned complete neighborhoods offering residential,retail, entertainment, park, school and recreational opportunities all within walking distance.

Along the way, we have the momentum and capability to build one of the most innovative transportation systems of mid-sized cities in America. Today, we rely on our cars more than most cities our size. But in the future, by investing in well-engineered and designed bike, pedestrian and transit infrastructure we could become the kind of multimodal city that serves everyone safely no matter your method of travel.

What about arts and culture? Can we use this growth to help us fund a long-overdue performing arts center and more beauty in our city through art projects? New growth and redevelopment areas can provide a platform to build and enhance Bend’s civic culture through potential urban renewal projects.

The Vision our city created in 2005 through the Bend 2030 Vision process calls on us to bring all these things to life.

This chapter of growth and change, propelled by the urban growth boundary expansion process, is our chance to make it all happen. Let’s not miss it.

LESSONS IN LIVABILITY 7PM THURSDAY, JUNE 2

Join BendFilm and The Bend Livability Project for the highly acclaimed film, “The Human Scale,” and discover on the big screen what urbanization means for Bend.

FILM SYNOPSIS: How do the spaces that surround us enhance or disturb our interactions with others? How can we make our streets more accessible by foot or bike? Through his world acclaimed work, revolutionary Danish architect and urban planner Jan Gehl has been leading a revolution in urban planning that has been transforming cities worldwide. From the expanded pedestrian spaces in New York’s Union Square, to Copenhagen’s famed bike lanes, to the rebuilding of earthquake devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, Gehl’s team bring real solutions that promise a more humanistic dimension to cities where people are not displaced by congested streets, skyscrapers, and the car­centric urbanism of the 1960s and ‘70s.

Following the film, Erin Foote Morgan, Bend 2030 Executive Director, will facilitate a conversation with with Bend Tech Ecosystem organizer Preston Callicott, Bend City Councilor Victor Chudowsky, Brooks Resources’ Romy Mortensen and Scalehouse’s René Mitchell about how innovations in planning, housing and transportation will transform Bend in the coming decade. $5.

ONGOING INITIATIVES

CHARTER REVIEW EXPLORATION TEAM

Does Bend have the right city council governance structure to best address the significant challenges facing our city?

Right now seven volunteer at-large councilors are elected to the council and then select a mayor among themselves.

Is geographic representation important as Bend grows?

Would an elected mayor provide our community with stronger leadership on the council? Is it appropriate for volunteers to lead a city of 87,000 people? The Bend Livability Project is launching this exploration team to consider the answer to a central question in the evolution of our city: Is it time for charter review?

GET INVOLVED •

•

Attend the special City Club of Central Oregon Forum on city governance at the Bend Livability Conference to hear from Dr. Phil Cooper about what forms of government other cities in the Northwest have adopted.

We expect to see 40 percent more people living here by 2030 with very few new roads. Move Bend is a new coalition and campaign launching with the Bend Livability Project that builds public support and funding for multimodal and innovative transportation projects in Bend to accommodate our growth. Together our partners can pool resources, amplify messages, and coordinate to transform our auto-centric transportation system into a multimodal network rivaling any other in the country. Together we can drive this major shift by uniting our community partners behind the audacious goal of reducing our vehicle miles traveled by 5 percent by 2028.

DESIGN STANDARDS

Neighbors across the country are having success at shaping development in their areas by getting together to create “design standards” for their neighborhoods. Design standards capture the character, culture and architecture of a neighborhood that people want to encourage as developers build something new or renovate an old building. Through a physical or online booklet of pictures and words that describe these non-binding design standards, neighbors have a proactive and constructive way of communicating with architects and developers about building new projects.

GET INVOLVED •

Attend the “Lessons from Division Street: Tangible Tools for Shaping City Policy” session and the lunchtime open house called “Division Design Initiative” at the Livability Conference.

Or hop on the Bend Trolley to get to the District where you’ll help create murals, grab a pint and hear great local musicians at this festival of the future.

SPECIAL FEATURES! PROTECTED BIKE LANE

Check out Bend’s first temporary protected bikelane! It’s 2,000 feet of #freshkermit, that signature bright green indicating a safer spot for biking, all the way to the Makers District. This is one night when biking to Art Walk won’t just mean skipping the crowds, it means testing out a brand new kind of bike feature we may begin to add to the streets of Bend. Don’t miss this chance to try out for yourself what a safe bike lane protected from car travel feels like!

BASECAMP STUDIO TEEN MURAL PROJECT In one of the coolest projects around, Base Camp Studio worked with eight teenage girls to design and create a mural focused on why we need art in Bend. The mural, which was created with outlines but hasn’t yet been painted in, was cut into eight pieces. At the Future Fair, the eight pieces of the mural will be located at the eight businesses depicted on the map. Go paint them in and help celebrate youth in the arts and the value of creative projects in our community. We’ll piece them all together again to create a lasting piece of art for Bend.

BOXCAR STRINGBAND AT NATURAL EDGE FURNITURE

Head down to the Makers District for the art AND the music. Check out Boxcar Stringband—self-described as surf, rockabilly, country and blues—on stage just outside of Natural Edge Furniture. They’re bringing the party!

TINY TAVERN AND TRANQUILO

But let’s face it, that party wouldn’t be legit in Bend without beer, and there’s plenty of it flowing at the Tiny Tavern—a special project created

by Jesse Russell of Tongue and Groove Tiny Homes to highlight the value packed into small spaces. Plus try out Bend’s newest brew creation, Tranquilo, from the geniuses behind the Hola Nouveu Mexican and Peruvian Cuisine. They’ve donated enough kegs to keep things hopping all night long.

HUMM KOMBUCHA ARTIST RECEPTION

Definitely hit Humm Kombucha for a reception with a collaboration of two artists, Matthew Stokes from Grumpy MetalWorks and Sophia Titterton. Music by Jeshua Marshall from Larry and His Flask. Plus complimentary kombucha-wine spritzers with Naked Winery, $3 beer pints, and snacks!

DR. PHILLIP COOPER

Dr. Phillip Cooper of the Mark O.

LESSONS FROM DIVISION STREET: TANGIBLE TOOLS FOR SHAPING CITY POLICY By organizing, neighbors can shape the future of their neighborhoods. Division Design Initiative from Portland is the inspiring model of how a small band of neighbors have turned themselves into a powerhouse of policy development in Portland. In the meantime, they’ve created design standards for their neighborhood, allowing them a proactive and constructive way to engage with architects and builders by showing what buildings, streetscapes and gathering places define the character of the neighborhood.

See how you can follow in their footsteps.

BUSINESS DISTRICTS AND NEIGHBORHOODS: CREATING COOPERATION NOT CONFLICT What is the future of cooperation between neighbors and businesses in areas such as the Galveston Corridor, the University District, the Medical District, and the Makers District. Through the formation of business districts, neighborhoods and business owners CAN work together to enhance and maintain the livability of buffer zones where residential and commercial uses intermingle. Learn how other communities have tackled these issues with great success.

EASTSIDE LIVABILITY: AN INTERACTIVE FEEDBACK SESSION Bend is not a tale of two cities. We are one. But we can do better to connect the regions of our city and ensure everyone in our community has access to the quality of life elements that make Bend special. Come share your feedback in this dynamic, interactive session on what amenities, resources, planning and infrastructure YOU believe is needed to increase the quality of life of Eastside Bendites and what creative work we can do to bridge the gap between east and west in Bend.

HOUSING

COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOODS & WHY WE NEED THEM A primer on the revolutionizing effects of the current urban growth boundary expansion process, this session is the one-hour crash course every resident needs to understand the future evolution of Bend. Through tools like zoning, intergovernmental agency coordination, and incentives, planners hope to create complete neighborhoods defined by a mix of housing types, a mix of commercial and employment uses, and a mix of school and park amenities. Learn why directing our growth in this way is a key piece of solving the housing and transportation puzzles.

A LIVABLE COMMUNITY STARTS AT HOME: THE REAL VALUE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING What’s the point of affordable housing anyway? Turns out, it’s not only the fundamental building block of safety, health and a stable economy — it’s crucial to a diverse and livable community. But don’t take our word for it. Join in for this interactive session where you’ll have the chance to gauge for yourself whether this affordable housing problem is all it’s cracked up to be.

SPEAKERS: Damon Runberg Oregon Regional Economist Oregon Employment Dept.

ARE TINY HOMES THE ANSWER? MAKING IT WORK IN BEND Tiny homes and cottage housing, whether developed by for-profit, nonprofit or private land owners, can create intentional communities to meet the need for downsized living, retirement, affordable housing, and transitional housing with social services. The flexibility of these homes address a wide variety of individuals and families, and is being done successfully in other communities. Let’s talk about how it is happening now in Bend and what we can do to further the safe and secure development of this housing option.

TRANSPORTATION & A LA CARTE SESSIONS TRANSPORTATION

HOW TO FUND TRANSIT & KEEP YOUR CAR

By 2030, our city will see a 40 percent increase in residents, but very few new roads. Transit and multimodal funding are critical pieces of the transportation solution we’ll need to accommodate this growth, but how are we going to pay for it? Payroll taxes? A transit funding district? Learn about the options and what it will take to make robust multimodal transportation a reality.

TAKING IT TO THE STREETS: A TACTICAL URBANISM APPROACH TO BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

Tactical urbanism is the cool catch-all for describing the phenomenon of neighbors taking bike and pedestrian safety into their own hands. Think temporary bike lanes and hay bale curb extensions. Think stencils and wash-away chalk paint. Think neighbors working together on demonstration projects that give them the chance to see how simple bike and pedestrian infrastructure changes could reduce traffic and contribute to community building in their neighborhoods. Then come learn how to do it yourself.

BEND’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM 2.0: A NEW HOPE

There are solutions to our transportation future and the answer is moving from an auto-centric system to one with robust multimodal options.

Come learn from award-winning transportation planner Chris Comeau on how innovative strategies have led Bellingham, Washington—a university town of similar size and demographics to Bend—to become one of the most visionary cities in the nation when it comes to moving people and commerce. It’s all about linking development impacts with hyper-local bike, pedestrian and transit infrastructure. And guess what? We have our very own chance to test out Bellingham’s tools through the Central Westside Area Plan.

A LA CARTE SESSIONS

MEASURING LIVABILITY: WE CAN DO IT HERE

Defining and measuring livability is no easy task. Learn how the professionals do it. Hint: It involves massive spreadsheets. Whether on the national level, major urban area or mid-sized city such as Bend, the elements of livability include diversity, housing affordability, transportation options, health and wellness, a strong community and a host of other quality of life indicators that when being measured can drive our cities to adopt new policies enhancing quality of life.

DOWNTOWN MOVES EAST PART 1: THE VISION

Downtown has likely expanded east in the year 2030 to a new heart of the city in what is now the industrial zone between Franklin and Olney Avenues, and the Parkway and Third Street commonly called the Makers District. Local artisanbased businesses and the arts community have turned the area into a thriving hotbed of activity. A well-planned mix of apartments, shops, restaurants, and office space have converted this area into the ideal anchor for a new kind of transportation system in Bend that relies on people’s ability to walk, bike or take transit to their nearby destinations. Come learn about the vision for this vibrant new city core.

DOWNTOWN MOVES EAST PART 2:THE PLAN

So we have a vision for the Makers District, but how do we accomplish it? That’s where government agencies and serious plans come into play. Already, The City of Bend and the Oregon Department of Transportation have spent several years meeting with property owners and stakeholders to develop a plan to transform an underutilized industrial area into the vibrant urban core we hope to see develop.

Have you heard about the Bend Central District Plan? The Multi Modal Planning Area? How about the urban growth boundary opportunity areas? These are the wonky names for the blueprints that will bring our vision for the Makers District to life. Come learn about what decisions are left to be made, the land-use/ transportation hurdles we must tackle and how achieving success here will put Bend on the map of cities that have done redevelopment right.

AGE ISN’T JUST A NUMBER: THE COMING DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR BEND We expect 40 percent more people to be living in Bend by 2030, but who are they? Millenials? Seniors? How will they influence the labor force, markets and housing supply needs. What kind of neighborhoods and transportation options will they want when they get here. Regional economist Damon Runberg breaks down the complex effects of the changing demographics we’ll see in the next decade and puts into context the way you’ll feel them in your own life.

Come hear from Bend State Representative Knute Buehler and the City of Bend’s lobbyist Erik Kancler on what priorities they have for bringing home wins for Bend at the state level.

SPEAKERS: Knute Buehler State Representative

DAILY LIVABILITY: KINDNESS IS THE KEY TO A HAPPY CITY It’s a story told time and time again—I moved to Bend for the smiles. A friendly, supportive and welcoming community is one of the most important ways we can ensure the livability of our city. How do these intangible livability factors influence our lives? What can we do in our daily lives to increase happiness and openness in Bend. Learn from local faith leaders and one man who is taking matters into his own hands by launching a new kindness movement in our midst.

Seven plays, creation to production, in 24 hours

24/Seven will have actors, such as Miranda Rose (left), directors, such as Sandy Silver (middle) and playwrights, such as Ben Larson (right).

I

am not what anyone would call an experienced theater director. I have only two shows under my belt, both within the last two years. Basically, I’m making it up as I go, with only my years as an actor working for great directors to guide me. The upcoming 24/Seven Theater Project will not only be a huge test of my “skills,” but will feature a selection of the finest playwrights, directors and actors in Central Oregon.

Seven playwrights will be given several prompts the evening of June 3. They have all night to write a 10-minute play,

local talent.

As producer, Daniel will have to make sure each aspect of the project goes off without a hitch. “At 4 a.m. that Saturday, I will start printing off all of the submitted scripts and start working on the programs to be handed out that night to audience members,” says Daniel.

“By 6 a.m., I’m meeting with all of the directors. All day I will be chasing down props, set pieces and getting everything ready for the two performances that night. Of course, I will have wonderful people helping me, but I do think my

“This is total creativity for all involved. I don’t think I have a game plan except to do the best job I can, do justice to the playwright, and for all of us to have a blast! And coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.” - Director Sandy Silver which is due around 4 a.m. to the producer, 2nd Street Theater’s playwright in residence, Cricket Daniel. “Directors will then show up at 2nd Street Theater around 6 a.m. Saturday, June 4,” explains Daniel. “They will pick from a hat one of seven plays and that is the play they will direct! They will then pull from a hat their cast. They will read their selected play, block it and make a Prop/Wardrobe/Set Piece List. Actors at 8 a.m. arrive. Directors will assign roles, table read and move right into rehearsal. All day long they will be blocking, rehearsing, memorizing lines, etc.”

The twist: Each play will be performed that night at 2nd Street Theater. Twice!

Lines will be memorized, lights and sound ready and directors like me will shine because of the amazing skill of the

day will be quite stressful. There’s a lot of moving parts.”

My nerves kick in. What if a director doesn’t connect to the script they draw, or an actor is having trouble memorizing lines so quickly? Six in the morning?

What even is that?

Actress Miranda Rose is much more laid back than I. “I’m not very nervous, but I am excited,” she says. “It’s something I’ve never done before and it’s also something Bend isn’t used to seeing, either.

Going into it, I plan on getting plenty of rest and arriving with a motivated attitude.” How dare she attack my nerves with calm logic and reason!

Director Sandy Silver, a veteran of innumerable productions, is also confident.

“I am always a little nervous when going

into a new project, but with 24/Seven, I am more excited than nervous,” she says.

“This is total creativity for all involved.

I don’t think I have a game plan except to do the best job I can, do justice to the playwright, and for all of us to have a blast! And coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.”

Playwright Ben Larson must be nervous, right? He has to create believable characters and a compelling story overnight.

“Nope, I don’t get nervous,” says Larson.

“I’ve participated in events like this before, and they’re always a lot of fun.

Also—and this is purely selfish—because it takes such a long time to bring a full-length piece to life, sometimes the idea of completing something within 24 hours is incredibly attractive.”

To top it all off, 2nd Street Theater received a grant from the Deschutes County Commissioners to “help us be able to create a video documentary and for general support of the project.” So now there will be people with cameras to catch my flop sweat and daylight night terrors!

All joking aside, the event will be one of a kind. In the same way audiences watch a street corner painter start with a blank canvas, 24/Seven will give everyone a chance to see something invented from scratch. Theater is so fleeting—even though the scripts will be around for a while, the unique combination of actors, directors and words will only be as lasting as my nerves. SW

Bend has established its place in the nation for its love of the outdoors, but one thing this town is also becoming known for is its love and appreciation for the arts.

The Mockingbird Gallery is just one of the many examples of businesses that have been showcasing the creative side of life and sharing artists’ creations through one of Bend’s most popular and well-attended events, First Friday.

Husband and wife team, Jim and Nathalie Peterson, have owned and operated the Mockingbird Gallery for the past nine years. “It’s a really exciting time to be in the fine arts business...Bend is a wonderful and vibrant art community filled with people who love to create and also others who love to support their efforts,” says Jim Peterson.

This gallery focuses on various mediums, including wood, glass, bronze, watercolor, oil, pastel, acrylic and oil. “We handle an experienced group here at Mockingbird and they are mostly established [in their] careers,” says Jim Peterson, as he goes on to explain the exhibit being featured this coming Friday. Titled as “Untethered,” there will be two artists’ talents displayed, Romona Youngquist from Oregon is known for her blurred and softstroke approach to a canvas, but will also present some new works in clay. Liz Wolf out of New Mexico will showcase her talents in bronze and glass sculptures. Both artists will be in attendance at the gallery.

Apart from the wide variety in aesthetic displays, this First Friday at the Mockingbird Gallery will feature live jazz music by Rich Hurdle and Friends. A real treat for the senses, wine and cheese will also be offered at the event.

Although the Petersons have owned the gallery for nine years, the business itself has been in Bend for 26 years, previously owned for 17 of those years by Pamela Claflin. Mockingbird Gallery has been participating in the Friday Art Walk for some time now. “Every month, every opening provides us with a new opportunity to share our talented group with our Central Oregon art lovers,” says Jim Peterson.

the Box CULTURE Inside The Box Factory celebrates 100 years of pride

T

he people of Bend have much to celebrate in a town with rich history and a unique melding of things old and new. This month, Bendites will have just one more reason to raise their glasses, as the Box Factory, formally known as the Old Mill Marketplace, blows out the candles marking 100 years of success.

There are over 30 businesses that call the Box Factory home, and with food carts such as Blackened Dragon, The Brown Owl and The Curry Shack having just taken root, the 90,000-squarefoot main building continues to make a name for itself even after a century in existence. This anniversary, however, wouldn’t have been realized had proper restorations been ignored or postponed.

Killian Pacific acquired the property in 2013 through the leadership and advice of real estate developer Jeremy McPherson. The main focus for him was for the historical preservation of the property.

These goals, to him, became not only a priority, but a reality. “We lose buildings like this every day in this country. Often for these old buildings it is either too difficult to navigate the myriad building, fire and other regulatory codes, or too costly, or both,” says McPherson.

The building itself no longer resembles the lumber mill that once bore the name Brooks-Scanlon. This factory’s main production was, well, boxes. The name

change was intentional and two-fold.

“We think the name ‘Old Mill Marketplace’ was confusing for patrons.

They would just go to the Old Mill District and find that the businesses weren’t there,” says McPherson. With the help of the Deschutes Historical Society, research brought forth the rich personality behind the building. “We learned the long history of the main building’s purpose was a box factory for the Brooks-Scanlon Mill dating back to WWI. We found pictures of the all-woman workforce busily making crates while their husbands, fathers and sons were off in Europe and the Pacific during WWII,” says McPherson, adding that, “There was just no way this place could be called anything else....”

Bend has always been keen on supporting local businesses and Killian Pacific began noticing a theme among the shops. “The tenants who have moved in here are generally home-grown Bend startups who are used to rolling up their sleeves and doing a lot of work on their own...In a way this reflects the people who lived and worked in the original mill quarter,” says McPherson.

Co-owner of Strictly Organic, Rhonda Ealy, has been around to see many of the changes taking place. Since moving in 2006 to the Box Factory location she had a vision of what could be a potential

popular collection of businesses. “We could see and hope that the area would become what it is today. It has a great community feeling to it and just so many great neighbors,” says Ealy. One of the newest neighbors is Immersion Brewing, which brews its own collection and even allows those interested to brew their own. Co-owner Sean Lampe couldn’t quite get over the beauty that the old building still possessed. “We love the building and think it will really impress quite a few people when they can see something so old becoming something new again,” says Lampe. This is true for the ancient art of the building as well as the art of ancient brew.

The celebration of 100 years coincides with one of the Box Factory’s most popular watering holes, Atlas Cider Company, which is observing its three-year anniversary. They will also be tapping kegs to celebrate. June 3-4 there will be a block party that is not only open to the public, but free. There will be games, a giant Ferris wheel, bouncy houses, food, drinks, and just a whole lot of family-friendly fun. SW

Breaking Fast

The Pancake Wagon is now open for breakfast on Colorado Avenue

reakfast is a widespread edible favorite among anyone with a palate and a pulse. Too often choices in this morning meal are confined to either a lengthy sit-down session or a drivethrough order followed by immediate regret. However, now Bendites have another option. Open for almost three weeks, The Pancake Wagon located on Colorado Avenue, brings a quick choice to the most important meal of the day.

This alternative eatery offers up classic breakfast items with a delicious flair only chef and co-creator of The Pancake Wagon, Caley Brach, can invent. Yet, it is the unique items offered such as the Original Purrito, a combination of a burrito and a pancake that makes this place worth the trip. The basic concept, if imaginable, is the tortilla (which would be the obvious wrapper) no longer being in the picture. Bam. Gone. Replace the base instead with a country buttermilk pancake and smear the inside with a

whipped cream cheese, just enough to use as a binder for the rest of the goodies that will complete this munchable morning medley. Two fresh eggs scrambled together and mixed with crispy bacon becomes the filler and as it is all folded together creating an edible portable wrap. Additional menu items include other Purritos such as the Johnny Jalapeno, which is a Johnny cake (think cornmeal pancake) with jalapeno cream cheese with the egg and bacon scramble.

The Pancake Wagon also has a sweeter side with a Lemon Ricci Purrito, which is full of mixed fruits and a homemade berry chia compote. For those who are more focused on building some muscle along with enhancing a typical morning, the Pancake Wagon offers a Protein Packed Purrito with peanut butter, banana slices and fresh berries. The pancake itself is a well-thought-out formula that has over 21 grams of protein. Side items, both savory and sweet, are also offered on

Brach admits that she could not have done this alone. Co-owner and wife, Basia, has been a constant form of strength and encouragement for the success of the cart. “She works the books, all the backstage stuff,” says Caley Brach. “I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her.” She goes on to discuss how the process of going from a thought in the mind to an actual functioning reality is something that still amazes her. “It’s like having a baby, except I can sleep at night,” laughs Caley. She returns gratitude and appreciation to her partner assisting in getting the wagon up and running. “There was no way I was ready for an inspection, and thanks to her, I was,” she says.

MICRO Today’s IPA

Forecast: Cloudy

Great Notion Brewing and its Juice Box IPA are thriving in Portland. Photos by Kevin Gifford.

I

t takes a lot to stick out in the beer scene in Portland. The metro area has 100 breweries and counting at this point, from old standbys like Bridgeport and Lompoc to Grixsen Brewing, which began slinging brew from its SE Portland garage just two weeks ago. But Great Notion Brewing, which opened in December, has succeeded in capturing drinkers’ attention with Juice Box, an India Pale Ale (or IPA) that borrows its inspiration from the breweries of faraway Vermont.

First brewed at the Vermont Pub & Brewery back in the 1990s, the socalled “New England IPA” is a double IPA-strength ale known for average bitterness, fairly intense citrus hop flavor and aroma, and—most characteristically—an unfiltered, cloudy-looking appearance. The genre’s been popularized across the Northeast over the past few years after well-known beers like The Alchemist’s Heady Topper (whose house yeast gives the ale its hazy look) and Lawson’s Sip of Sunshine began shipping out in cans. While it’s not exactly its own style of beer per se, it’s unique enough that it’s now a staple at

Est. 1998

many eastern craft breweries.

Great Notion, located in the former Mash Tun Brew Pub building in northeast Portland, debuted the fruity, refreshing, and 8 percent Juice Box soon after its opening. Since then, it’s quickly become one of the city’s biggest beer stories. Stop over for lunch, and you’ll see a steady stream of visitors coming in for a Cuban sandwich, some waffle fries, and a growler of Juice Box. Some of Great Notion’s other beers can be polarizing—their stout with coffee and maple syrup, called Double Stack, is either amazing or a total mess depending on who’s discussing it—but there’s no doubt that they put out some killer food and IPA. The trend in home brewing New England IPAs is spreading, too. Homebrew shops across Portland now sell yeast and hops catered for NEIPAs, and Whitney Burnside—head brewer at 10 Barrel’s Portland pub—has released her own variety, a six-percenter called Maine Squeeze that almost outclasses Juice Box in juiciness. Could the rest of the state be far behind? SW

The Good Fight

Gosling and Crowe aren’t nice guys

By Jared Rasic

Gosling and Crowe get up to some shenanigans in "The Nice Guys."

S

hane Black makes movies people either love or hate. There never seems to be any middle ground. His filmography is filled with smash hits or financial disappointments, nary a mild success to be found. In his early ‘20s he sold the script for “Lethal Weapon.” Over the next few years he had his fingers in some of the weirdest and wildest American movies released. Whether he was acting in “Predator” and “Dead Heat,” writing “The Last Boy Scout” and “The Long Kiss Goodnight” or directing “Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang,” he was always spewing truly original ideas.

It was “Iron Man 3” in 2013 that gave him his first hit since the 1990s. Now he has a bit of breathing room to get the projects he’s passionate about produced. His first passion project out of the gate is “The Nice Guys” starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.

The flick tells the tale of a dead porn star, a missing girl and the two men who come together to bring them justice. Gosling is

Holland March, a private detective hired by the elderly aunt of the dead porn star.

She claims she saw her niece alive two days after her supposed death and wants March to find her. Crowe is Jackson Healey, an independent leg-breaker who was hired by the missing girl to keep the people searching for her away. March and Healey’s cases collide and they team up to fight hit men, the Detroit mafia and sometimes each other.

“The Nice Guys” is set in a flawlessly reproduced Los Angeles of 1977, but brings a 1940’s sense of noir storytelling into Black’s ultramodern reconfiguration of tough guy archetypes. Crowe’s Healey is tough and angry, but his strong moral code keeps him solidly in the white hat category. Gosling’s March is a widower with a teenage girl, but with a vicious drinking problem that makes him fun and sometimes useless. The characters together elevate the film much further past what the convoluted plot would otherwise demand.

The film bears easiest comparison to “The Big Lebowski,” while also lovingly paying tribute to the neo-noir shadings “Chinatown,” “Inherent Vice” and 1946’s “The Big Sleep.” Just like “Lebowski,” the characters are in way over their head, surrounded by a conspiracy they barely understand, but unlike The Dude, Healey and March are mostly capable of thinking and fighting their way out of it.

Brilliantly, Black knows that the plot (involving porn kingpins, the automotive industry and the Department of Justice) isn’t what will make this film work.

Instead, it’s a funny script carried out by two charming leads with Crowe and Gosling looking like they’re having the most fun they’ve had in years. The friend I saw the movie with absolutely hated the story, but said they would definitely go see another adventure that included these characters.

ling’s easy-going relationship. Some of the big picture plot mechanics don’t quite add up and the last 20 minutes contain a few pretty abrupt tonal shifts, but overall the film is a joy. The final message of the film doesn’t become clear until “The Nice Guys” final minutes, but when it falls into place the film ends with quite the thematic gut punch.

“The Nice Guys” isn’t for everyone. The language is rough, there’s some pointless nudity and the violence is brutal, but the film has a big, beautiful heart. As corrupt as the system might get, as dour as the future might be, "The Nice Guys" are going to keep fighting until they are either dead or out of bullets. It’s always good to know someone is out there fighting the good fight, even if they don’t really want to. SW

Their effortless chemistry is so winning that even some of the larger plot holes are easily erased just by Crowe and Gos-

The timing of this original "Ghostbusters" showing is important for a couple of reasons. One: to capitalize on the upcoming July release of the new one. Two: to remind people why they love the story in the first place. Since so much negativity surrounds the remake, it might be nice to just sit back and enjoy the tried and true.

"Alice Through the Looking Glass"

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

from Johnny Depp, whose Mad Hatter gave children weird dreams for months. This sequel finds Alice having spent the intervening years as a sailor. When she finds out there is something deeply wrong in Wonderland, she heads back to find things are much worse than she ever could have imagined. This can't be worse than the original, so we have that to look forward to, I suppose. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE: There have been many video game movies in the past, but never one pulled from something with so little of a story. This follows three angry birds as they investigate the arrival of pigs to their little island. Advanced reviews are pretty dire, but the voice cast has ringers including Jason Sudeikis, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Danny McBride and Peter Dinklage, so there might be enough here to be entertaining. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR: The highly anticipated throw-down has finally arrived with Team Iron Man vs. Team Cap fighting over a huge disagreement involving The Avengers and the destruction they have wrought. This film also introduces a new Spider-Man (a wonderful Tom Holland) and the Black Panther (a solid Chadwick Boseman) without feeling overstuffed like “Spider-Man 3” or “Batman v Superman.” “Civil War” is a fantastically entertaining night at the movies.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE DARKNESS: This film is neither about the weirdly terrible band or comic book, but instead is a horror flick along the lines of “Poltergeist.” It focuses on a kid who falls down into a secret Anasazi sacred space in the Grand Canyon and steals some stones he finds. Some angry ghosts follow him back home and start haunting him and his dysfunctional family. Kevin Bacon is in this, so everyone wins. Except, probably, the Native American ghosts. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME: The new film from the director of “Dazed and Confused” moves past the 1970s and takes on the 1980s. Featuring great music, ridiculous wardrobes and a fun premise, “Everybody Wants Some” is a solid look at American culture and very much worth audiences’ time and money.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. THE FAMILY FANG: Jason Bateman and Nicole Kidman play adult siblings who return home for the first time in years to discover there is more to their family history than they knew. Directed by Bateman with a script by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, “The Family Fang” is a fascinating look at how childhood wounds can shape a person and how home is never what it should be. Tin Pan Theater

MONEY MONSTER: George Clooney and Julia Roberts star in this 90s-esque thriller about the host of a money advice show taken hostage live on television. There is sure to be lots of commentary on the fake TV “experts” and the real definition of criminality, so audiences should strap in for some on-thenose sermonizing. The trailer is decent (if overplayed), but advanced reviews are less than kind. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

NEIGHBORS 2: SORORITY RISING: The sequel to 2014’s surprise hit, “Neighbors,” sees the premise staying the same while inverting the genders. Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne return as the owners of the worst located house in history. Instead of dealing with a loud and obnoxious fraternity house, they now must deal with a loud and obnoxious sorority. This time, Zac Efron teams up with the homeowners to teach the sorority a lesson in manners.

For fans of the original, this one is even better.

THE NICE GUYS: The pedigree here is phenomenal! Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in a buddy comedy/action flick written and directed by Shane Black, the mind behind “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang,” “Lethal Weapon” and “The Long Kiss Goodnight?!?!” Shut up and take my money, Regal. The story follows a pair of private dicks as they get caught up in 1970s Los Angeles. Picture “The Big Lebowski” meets “Chinatown.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2: We check back in on the happy couple we left 14 years ago. Now, Toula and Ian are sending their teenage daughter off to college and trying to figure out ways to rekindle the spark in their relationship. Also, they have another wedding to attend and this one promises to be bigger, fatter and Greeker than ever.

Fishing Backcountry Lakes Enjoying the solitude and beauty of Central Oregon

Deschutes Land Trust Events Memorial Day weekend has kicked off the summer and has Central Oregonians anxious to hit the trails. Deschutes Land Trust, an organization that conserves and cares for over 8,750 acres of land in the region, is here to help get those winter legs moving with a variety of outdoor hikes and events.

T

hough the general trout fishing season is well underway in Oregon, many of the High Cascade Lakes that sustain planted fish remain inaccessible due to snow and ice. It can be as late as mid-June or even early July before some of these lakes can be reached on foot or by horseback, but when the trails become accessible, there are ample backcountry and wilderness fishing opportunities. In the Deschutes National Forest, up to 65 remote lakes from as small as two acres in size are planted every other year with Rainbow, Brook, and sometimes Cutthroat trout.

These trout grow to legal catch sizes in about two years, and some, depending on weather and other conditions, can live for as long as five years or more.

The vast majority of these lakes were barren of fish until 1912 when state fishery managers, using pack horses and mules, began stocking those that could sustain fish. Ten gallon buckets of fingerlings from the Bonneville hatchery were transported by train and then packed in and released. Those packing the fingerlings in would often cool the containers by placing them in streams, stirring them to keep oxygen levels high enough to keep the fish alive. From the early 1950s until about 1980, fixed-wing aircraft were used for stocking, and in 1980 it was determined by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife that helicopters were economically feasi-

ble for stocking purposes, making the planting process much easier and more efficient.

Erik Moberly is an assistant fish biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in the Bend District. He says the agency stocks 330 lakes statewide every other year, including about 65 in the Bend district. “We have five loading spots in the state and it takes us about a week to stock those 300-plus lakes,” he says.

The next stocking will be in 2017. “Some of those fish can live five or six years, and there’s a new generation of fingerlings that are introduced every other year,” he explains. He says survival depends on variable factors such as fishing pressure and weather, both of which are hard to track and forecast accurately. “This last year was pretty cold. Those lakes freeze over, and if the shallow ones don’t thaw out in time those fish lose oxygen and some of them perish.” The deeper they are the more oxygen available and the better the survival rate. ODFW surveys a number of lakes each year to determine survivability and whether stocking should continue in certain ones.

High lake fishing can be productive with advance planning and timing. Moberly says, “When the lakes thaw out and the weather gets warmer, the fish get really active. They’re really hungry from not eating for a few months. Early season fishing in the high lakes can be extraor-

dinary if you hit it right.” ODFW also tries to evaluate lakes to see which species of trout does best to try to determine planting strategies.

It can be tricky to pick a lake to hike into and fish because there are so many from which to choose. ODFW’s website contains a listing of the backcountry and wilderness lakes in the Bend region that it stocks. “We want to promote this as much as we can, but we also want to let anglers find out for themselves what’s going on in these high lakes,” Moberly explains. Once a lake is chosen, consult a U.S. Forest Service trail map for directions, including information on whether the trail is accessible depending on weather conditions.

Though planting these high lakes has occurred for more than 100 years, Moberly says a lot of Oregonians don’t know that ODFW stocks the lakes on a regular basis. “It’s a great opportunity to go out backpacking, to catch a couple fish and cook them right on site. In my mind, it just adds to that wilderness experience.” Moberly advises fishing early morning and late afternoon for best results. “Sometimes we go out there and don’t see another person for a few days. To have that element in this world is refreshing. This is a chance for people to get out and not see anybody for a few days, refresh their minds, and enjoy the natural beauty of this state,” he says.

Take a wildflower walk with hike leader and local native plant enthusiast David Miller through the Camp Polk Meadow Preserve. The preserve is home to a variety of flowers, larkspur, sandlilies and more. Participants will walk along the Whychus Creek and explore the native plants, shrubs and sedges that have been used to restore the habitat.

This moderate two-mile hike, is a great option for those looking to learn more about the local area. Saturday, June 4, 9 a.m. to noon. Free, but registration is required: www.deschuteslandtrust.org/ hikes-events/hikes/wildflower-walk.

Happy Hour in the Garden The Environmental Center is hosting an ongoing volunteer series in its Kansas Avenue Learning Garden. Learn more about what goes into growing food by working on garden projects, tasks and helping with maintenance.

The Environmental Center works to embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon and every Tuesday through August volunteers have the opportunity to stop by and connect with community members by digging in some dirt! June is sponsored by Deschutes Brewery and Caboost Kombucha to quench workers thirst. Tuesdays, 4 to 6 p.m., The Environmental Center, 16 NW Kansas Ave., Bend. Free.

Farm Kids Program Central Oregon Locavore, a nonprofit dedicated to educating about the social and nutritional value of local food, is seeking more volunteers to help with its Farm Kids Program, an exciting field trip program that gives kids a hands-on experience with working on a farm! After going through an introduction, volunteers get to pick field trips that interest them and work for their schedule. Trip themes include worms and composting, bees, chickens and bugs, farming tools and more. Learn more and sign-up at www.centraloregonlocavore.org/programs/farm-kids.

NATURAL WORLD

Woodpeckers of North America

By Jim Anderson

P

resent-day birders will certainly recall the name, Roger Tory Peterson, as the leader in nature field guides.

It isn’t just birds that made up his list of interests, but subjects covering a wide area of natural history, from birds to edible plants.

Today, the Peterson Field Guides continue to proliferate, and thanks to local birder, researcher and owner of Paradise Birding, Stephen Shunk, we have the new “Peterson Reference Guide to Woodpeckers of North America.”

Shunk has conducted years of research that covers a wide selection of North American woodpeckers. His reference work is a comprehensive guide to the natural history, ecology, and conservation of all 23 species of North America’s woodpeckers—even the confusing and often misidentified sapsuckers, a first for any birding reference guide.

And, like all Peterson reference guides, “Woodpeckers of North America…” offers authoritative, comprehensive information, accompanied by detailed text, maps, photographs and outstanding illustrations.

The author has included over 1,300 bibliographic entries, crafted in such a way to combine his engaging writing style with his extensive experience in field research and guided tours.

It is the participants of Shunk’s Paradise Birding tours that he willingly thanks and recognizes; not only did they help fund his travels to the many woodpecker locations nationwide, but they also shared their observations that helped to make this new reference guide so unique.

Shunk wasn’t always into woodpeckers.

He spent his early years between Texas and California, both of which offered him a diversified view of the world around him.

Shunk got his first detailed look at the structure of the natural world while studying at Texas A&M in the 1980s. His love of that world took him to being the director of an environmental resource center where two of his pals loaned him a pair of binoculars saying something like, “Here try these, you’ll like this….”

That was an understatement, for Shunk fell in love with birding and recalls that day vividly. “I’ll never forget my first look at the Steller’s jay!” Two years later he was doing his first bird study project for the San Francisco Bird Observatory on Colonial Waterbirds, nesting on a small island in the middle of the San Francisco Salt Works.

I caught up with Shunk in the Aspen Hall parking lot across from Shevlin Park. As I pulled in and parked, he had his camera to his eye shooting photos of a busy Hairy Woodpecker feeding young in a quaking aspen. All totaled, right from the spot where we were standing, we could see Hairy, Lewis’s, William’s Sapsucker, a hybrid couple: Red-Breasted/Red-napped Sapsucker, and Black-headed Grosbeak nesting, with a flicker calling. “But I can’t find that flicker’s nest,” Shunk grunted, “and there’s also a Northern Spotted Owl nesting here as well.”

repeating, and then listed them from memory: Black-backed, white-headed, hairy, downy, Northern flicker, and three of the hybrid sapsuckers (which helped him get to know them better).

His first trip to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Malheur Wildlife Refuge in 1997 brought Shunk to live in Oregon. “I couldn’t live in LA any longer after Malheur,” he said, recalling those heady Malheur days. From that time on, birding for himself and making birding accessible for others became Shunk’s goals in Oregon.

Shunk signed a contract with Houghton Mifflin in 2005, but he kept going over the 60,000-word maximum with more and more information that, at one time, doubled the original word count. After cutting five chapters he “knew” were essential to the book, his editors finally accepted the present publication, and as the old saying goes, “The rest is history….” SW

From 1997 to 1998 he was the manager of the Sisters Chamber, and during that time, with the help of Central Oregon birders, Judy and Dean Hale, Chris Falco, Sue Tank, John Gerke and others, he helped revive the East Cascades Bird Conservancy from the ashes of the old Central Oregon Audubon Society, which is today’s East Cascades Audubon Society (ECAS).

Then one day everything came into focus for what Shunk wanted to do with woodpeckers. He was birding at the Cold Springs Campground west of Sisters. “I saw eight species of woodpeckers that incredible day!” Shunk almost shouted as he recalled that remarkable experience. “Eight of them…” he kept

If it weren’t for Shunk, there would be no Sisters Woodpecker Festival (renamed the Dean Hale Woodpecker Festival in honor of Hale’s accomplishments in bird conservation during his presidency of ECAS). Shunk was instrumental in the momentum of this unique opportunity for woodpecker enthusiasts. (For more information about the festival, go to www.ecaudubon.org)

ADVICE GODDESS You’re The None For Me

—Curious As To Your Reaction Like many men, you’re looking to emulate something you saw in porn—only it’s the coffee table in the background.

Though you refer to yourself as celibate, celibacy is a behavior a person chooses—a decision to fight off the urges most people have to hop on another person and do the humpus rumpus. What you have is a feeling—a longing for sex on a par with the enthusiasm of a guest at a trendy cocktail party being offered a slightly squirming sushi appetizer: “Uh, thanks, but don’t mind if I don’t.”

Assuming you’ve been checked out by a doctor for any possible medical issues, chances are you’re “ace”—as people who are asexual like to call themselves.

Asexuality is a sexual orientation—that of a person who, as social psychologist Anthony Bogaert puts it, has “a lack of sexual attraction or desire for others.”

Asexuality is pretty uncommon. According to a survey that Bogaert did in the U.K., maybe 1 percent of the population has an asexual orientation. (This estimate may be on the low side, as it was done in 2004, long before the varieties of sexuality and gender began rivaling the choices in the salad bar at Souplantation.)

Asexuality plays out in varied ways. Some asexuals lack any interest in sex, finding it about as appealing as having another person stick a finger up their nose repeatedly (while panting, moaning, and shrieking in ecstasy). Others sometimes have urges for sexual release; they just have no desire to expand their dating pool beyond their hand. So, while sexual attraction involves noticing another person and wanting to do all sorts of sex things with them, asexuals might find a person aesthetically pleasing but are generally as sexually interested in them as most of us would be in an adding machine or a potato.

Clinical psychologist Lori Brotto explains that asexuality doesn’t meet the psychiatric bible’s criteria for an arousal disorder— physiological impairment or distress at the lack of attraction to others. Research by Brotto and others also finds that asexuals, in general, don’t seem any crazier than the rest of us and have normal hormone levels and normal arousability, reflected in erectile function and vaginal lubrication.

As one asexual put it: “I did, you know, test the equipment…and everything works fine, pleasurable and all; it’s just not actually attracted to anything.’’

Some asexuals get into relationships with other people because they want a partner and/or a family. (They’re asexual, not aloving.) The problem comes if they don’t disclose that their sexual orientation is “Do you mind if I read while you do that?”

As for your situation, if you don’t feel there’s anything missing from your life, well, yay for you. But consider the “self-expansion” model for romantic relationships, by psychologist Arthur Aron and his colleagues. It confirms what many of us intuitively understand: In addition to the ways a relationship challenges people emotionally, it expands who they are as individuals through exposure to their partner’s ideas, identity, possessions, and social circle.

You might be able to have that sort of partnership—with a girlfriend who likes the same hot stuff you probably do in bed (microwaved Chinese food). You can connect with like-minded individuals on the big forum for asexuals—AVEN, the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network (asexuality.org). You might make some friends, and who knows…you might even meet the woman of your dreams— one who can’t wait to go home with you for a long night of meaningless Scrabble.

You’ll probably think I’m messing with you, but I swear I’m not. I am a man who has no desire to have sex. I was married, but after my wife got pregnant with our second (planned) child, we never had sex again. I just had—and have—no desire to do anything sexually with another person.

I have now been divorced for 11 years and celibate for almost 21. Since my divorce, I have never hooked up or even gone on a date. I don’t want to. Sometimes, I have an urge to masturbate, but I have no desire to involve anybody else. I simply don’t get why there is all this kerfuffle about sex. I see no reason to ever have sex again.

ality is a physical or psychological disorder.

And sure, some people probably use asexuality as a cover for unresolved issues or for shock value—like my (decidedly straight) sister did in coming home from college freshman year and announcing to my conservative Republican mother, “I think I’m a lesbian.” My mother handled this perfectly: “That’s nice; please put out the plates for dinner.”

Bend Livability Project Housing Sessions

and various a la carte sessions. We have explored many of the affordable housing alternatives in Oregon and other cities in this column and it is exciting to see them included in this conference. The concept of making citizens aware of the options for our future growth and the housing crisis is commendable and hopefully there will be lots of participation and ideas.

There will also be other sessions related to transportation and neighborhood livability

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to many sources on the Internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English. But my research suggests it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster. Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.” If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I’m debating about which of your astrological houses will be your featured hotspot in the coming days. I’m guessing it will come down to two options: your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility, as well. Now here’s the trick ending, Leo: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time. Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Between now and July 25, there’s a chance you will reach the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain. You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach. It’s possible you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood. Think I’m exaggerating, Virgo? I’m not. You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years. And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another unlikely or monumental feat. Congratulations in advance!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “My mother gave birth to me once, yeah yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.” I’m sure she is not demeaning her mom’s hard work, but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself? From where I stand, it looks like the next 12 to 15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention. And right now is an excellent time to get a lightning-flash glimpse of what the New You might look like.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use. “Pain serves a purpose,” she says.

“Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, Scorpio, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing. Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances you have been tolerating.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “or eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.” I recom-

mend this strategy for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-of-a-kind people, things, and events. Be so empty you have ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations.

As James Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “No gift is ever exactly right for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you. Two gifts would be better; three sublime. Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success, or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.”

Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Life will invite you to explore the archetype of the Ethical Interloper in the coming days. The archetype of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing.

I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways. You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.

PISCES 19-March

20):

(Feb.

Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I Am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.”

During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news: Few of us are.

And the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to refine your practice. Here’s a good place to start: Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired, and give love when you’re lonely.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The voices in our heads are our constant companions. They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, since the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news, Aries. Now here’s the good news. In the coming weeks you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge, or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core—the wise guide that is often drowned out by all the noise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): We are inclined to believe that the best way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above. The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze. The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape. But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful. What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused. Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What’s missing from the bird’s eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.

Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories. Your intentions will not fit into neat categories. You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions you encounter. Love your life exactly as it is! Methodical improvisations will be your specialty. Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks. “Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power.

enver is quickly becoming known as “The town that smells like weed.”

Many visitors report, and most residents acknowledge, that smelling the strong and unique odor of cannabis is a common experience when walking around the neighborhoods of central Denver. The culprit is usually a retail store or an indoor growing operation, but occasionally it’s people smoking in a backyard or even in public.

Denver is the fastest growing big city in the country. Construction cranes dot the downtown skyline, a new light rail system has just begun service to the city’s airport, and demand for housing is so strong that developers literally cannot build enough new homes to meet the need. Tourist visits are also at record highs, and state officials say it’s not primarily attributable to cannabis tourism.

But there’s no doubt that the newly-legal cannabis industry is contributing to Denver’s boom. A quick search on the popular cannabis business-finding app Leafly shows cannabis stores dotted around the city like Starbucks, gas stations, or dry cleaners. Add grow

sites and processing facilities onto those locations, and it is safe to say that cannabis is everywhere in Denver. Total cannabis sales in Colorado are expected to reach $1 billion, with much of that in the state’s largest population center.

The benefits of legal cannabis to Colorado are also coming into focus, as revenue from sales shifts from drug cartels to local governments. Denver received $29 million in tax revenue from cannabis sales in 2015, adding the money to its general budget fund. But other nearby local governments have tracked and allocated cannabis tax revenue separately, enabling a concrete look at the impacts of this revenue stream.

The cannabis tax revenue flowing into local governments in Colorado is mostly from specific taxes imposed by the local government. Oregon law is similar, allowing local jurisdictions to impose up to a three percent tax on cannabis sales in addition to the state tax or to ban sales entirely. The legalization process in Denver is showing that counties allowing sales and collecting taxes on those sales are seeing important local benefits.
