Opinion – Changes to the city charter back on the table

p.8

The Bend City Council has moved to pursue changing the city charter to allow for the possibility of a directly-elected mayor, a ward system and more. We share why it’s a good thing for Bend.

Side Notes – Bend Becomes a Welcoming City

A new declaration underlines the city’s commitment to inclusivity for people from all walks of life.

News – Bend budget: Transportation heavy

p.15

It’s no secret that Bend’s residents want improved roads. The newly-finalized city budget makes room for that, and other transportation-related items. Magdalena Bokowa reports.

Feature – A Portrait of Patriotism

p.17

Who’s a patriot? What do they do or not do that makes them patriotic? And is questioning your government patriotic? On the heels of a new poll showing a dip in American pride, we asked local people how to answer those questions.

Sound – July 4th Music

p.26

When it comes to live music this summer, Central Oregon is bursting at the seams. Anne Pick has her roundup of what to see this July 4th, in between all that barbecue you’re gonna eat.

On the Cover: For this week’s “Portrait of a Patriot” feature story, we wanted to tell the story of the many patriots who don’t fit the visual mold one might think of when they consider the word “patriot.” We commissioned local artist Rodney Thompson to paint a portrait of a patriot, choosing his own model for the work. Thompson’s portrait titled “Autonomy” fit the bill nicely. See his work at rodneythompsonart.com. Call for Artists: If you're interested in being a SW featured artist, email: wyatt@bendsource.com.

of Bend? Yes, please.

ast week, representatives from the City of Bend and Visit Bend held a “Tourism 101” forum at the Tower Theatre. Following the brief presentation that covered the way Transient Room Tax dollars are allocated in Bend, a concerned audience member pressed the panel for more information on the definition of the Bend “lifestyle.” The audience member was concerned about the way the city is portrayed and sold to newcomers, and whether that aligned with the values of longtime Bend residents. “I am looking for some leadership here,” that audience member said—a sentiment echoed by many who see the drawbacks to living in a city without a mayor voted for by the general population. (The Bend City Council currently chooses the city’s mayor from among the sitting councilors.) Meanwhile, at the State of the City address earlier this month, Mayor Casey Roats hinted at the time-management struggles he and the City Council face as volunteers (earning a $200 monthly stipend). Given the challenges our growing city faces, it’s a positive sign to see the City Council moving forward on an initiative that could ease both of those concerns. Last week, the Bend City Council adopted a resolution that would allow voters to decide on a number of changes to the Bend City Charter. According to a June 23 release from the City of Bend, the city’s Charter “establishes the governmental structure and procedures for the city. On June 21, 2017, the Council adopted a resolution to establish a committee to consider and recommend Charter amendments to the voters by May 2018.” Starting in July, a team of up to 11 members will look at a number of

pressing issues related to Bend’s leadership, including whether to allow for a directly-elected mayor, whether to allow the issue of Council pay to be removed from the Charter and instead to be decided by a Council ordinance, and whether to create a ward system for the City Council positions. If time allows, the Council may also decide whether to take part in the 2015 Model Charter initiative from the League of Oregon Cities. To the first three, we give our full support. A directly-elected mayor would have to come to the table with a mission and a vision that he or she will have to sell to the voters and promote to the wider community. A ward system would allow the disparate neighborhoods of Bend to have their own representatives, and would do away with the notion that the west side is disproportionally represented on Council. (At present, the majority of councilors live west of Third Street.) And finally, there’s the issue of councilor pay. With city budget concerns always at the forefront, we hesitate to say councilors should earn the equivalent of full-time pay—but at the same time, the stipend they currently earn is not enough to even cover the cost of the many coffee meetings they likely take each month. We voters will have our own chance to decide whether to support these initiatives should they be added to the ballot in May 2018, but the first step is for the City Council to recommend changes to the Charter. Whether you agree with us or not, you have your chance, right now, to weigh in. The City is seeking applicants for its Charter Review Committee, with applications due by July 10.

OPINION Letters

RIDE BEND SUMMER SHUTTLE

BEND’S UNDERPAID BUS DRIVERS Bend and Central Oregon’s bus drivers are not making a livable wage. Not here, where the rents are high and the gap between rich and poor is wide. And yet, they are responsible for the safety of all the passengers on their bus while driving amongst heavy traffic in both summer and winter driving conditions. Conditions that include cars dangerously backing out of their parking stalls into traffic, tourists not paying attention to the rules and careless drivers causing crashes and stressful situations for everyone around them. And now, there is a free shuttle in Bend, which indicates the money is potentially available to pay these drivers more than the starting wage of $13.77 per hour, but only if they were considered an important expense priority by the decision-makers. I like the free shuttle, it’s a good idea, but the skilled bus driver is the one who makes the operation successful by moving people from place to place in a safe and friendly manner. — Joseph Moon

THOUGHTS ON BEND, OREGON Nice town this Bend, wonderful library and good internet access. Great social services to feed the poor and homeless, and I really like the roundabouts at the intersections and all the beautiful sculptures. And, of course, all the marijuana distributors, really, really nice as the Trump would say. The town is a bit of a sprawl though. We REALLY need to get out of the carbon age — get out of these gas guzzling trucks and SUVs, downsize to the electric car and go GREEN in a very BIG way. I would like to recommend that the City

IN RESPONSE TO, THE GOOD AND THE BAD IN POT BILLS IN SALEM (6/7) Allowing medical producers to sell to the dispensaries will generate additional tax revenue for the state. Many OMMP producers have been pushed to the black market since all the regulations made it impossible for them to sell legally. Of course rec producers don’t want this as they currently maintain an (almost) complete monopoly. To suggest that it would lower revenue by driving down prices is absurd. Many dispensaries happily sell the outdoor they purchase cheaply in fall at full price. Weed prices don’t drop, they just make additional margins. Also, if someone running 1000+ plants can’t compete with 48 it’s time to choose a new occupation. — Jimmy Dean, via bendsource.com

LIGHTMETER

IN RESPONSE TO, HIKES IN SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES (7/21) SDCs (System Development Charges) do not play as large of a role in the affordable housing crisis as Long or Moseley apparently believe. You could eliminate SDCs altogether and there would still be an affordable housing crisis in Bend. The demand and supply of buildable land is the most important component. Eliminating them would, however, make all our existing budget problems so much worse in the future. That said, it would be better to assess them more fairly so that lower priced housing does not pay for a proportionally greater share compared to high priced homes. BPRD (Bend Park and Recreation) will be reviewing its methodology for assessing SDCs in the near future. But again, even if they were assessed more fairly (let alone implementing an extensive waiver system or eliminating SDCs altogether), that would not go very far in addressing Bend’s affordable housing problem. — Ariel T. Méndez, via facebook.com

Lighting Up the Night (But not the ground below it)

Tips on preventing fires this Independence Day Been in Bend on the 4th of July lately? Then chances are you’ve seen at least part of Pilot Butte go up in flames. It may be a longstanding “tradition” to see the fireworks above the butte and the smoldering stuff below it, but it’s not exactly ideal. According to the Oregon State Fire Marshal, Oregon saw 192 reported fireworks-related fires in 2016, which caused $519,000 in property damage. Temperatures are expected to be around 80 degrees in Bend on July 4th—but even if it does stay relatively mild, fire officials have these tips for you to keep it safe this holiday. Here are the four B’s, courtesy of the Office of the State Fire Marshal and other local fire officials:

No matter your skin color, constitutional rights do not apply to those who illegally entered our country. When do I receive special privileges for breaking the law? — Maria C., via bendsource.com

• Be Prepared before lighting fireworks: keep water available by using a garden hose or bucket. • Be Safe when lighting fireworks: keep children and pets away from fireworks. • Be Responsible after lighting fireworks: never relight a dud. Wait 15 to 20 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water before disposal. • Be Aware: use only legal fireworks and use them only in legal places.

Why doesn’t it stop at Hawthorne Station and connect with the larger transit system? One-way makes it a civic asset: the other a public waste. The bus is free — private transportation for tourists supported on the back of taxpayers. In addition, the bus-line devalues the entire transit system. It is the difference between government waste and infrastructure. The fully subsidized bus is a Bend Boondoggle that hides our impoverished working class and poor from visitors. The discrimination is real but different from traditional stereotypes. The reality of the Central Oregon paradigm does not match the myth. Chat about crap (BPRD - 2011); We all bend and don’t break (BPRD - 2013). — In defeat #4 Bend, Justin L. Gottlieb

of Bend build a brick mall on its Wall and Bond downtown streets, so that people can walk around, relax and not have to worry about getting hit and run over by a stray car. A downtown mall could be complemented with waterfalls, flowers, benches, sculptures and fruit and nut trees to beautify the downtown experience and build a sanctuary of peace and tranquility in the area. Examples of cities with malls are Boulder, Co., and Burlington, Vt., — they’re beautiful and everybody loves them! Locally, the Juniper Recreation Center and the city buses need to be made FREE. I’ve been in communities where rec centers are free and open to anyone without regard to financial handicap and everyone has equal access to community recreation facilities. I’ve also been in a lot of communities in this country where the city buses are FREE so people and drivers don’t have to worry about the hassle and handicap of waiting for passengers to pay bus fares (if they can even afford it). Free buses and free rec centers make the world go around Bend. If nothing else, the rec center should provide free showers for bicyclists, to encourage the use of alternative transportation, diminish traffic sprawl and encourage community bicycling. — Steve Jones

Press Briefs

Bend Adopts “Welcoming City” Resolution

Scenes from the White House Briefing Room By Baynard Woods

“I’m press. Is this where I should go?” I asked the Marine standing at the door of an outbuilding at the end of a sidewalk lined with media booths on my first trip to the White House briefing room. The Marine said nothing and stiffly opened the door. I walked in and paused. “Can I help you?” a woman said. “I’m a reporter.” “Oh, you can’t be here,” she said, already escorting me out the door. “The briefing room is down here.” “I tried to ask the Marine.” “Oh, they’re not allowed to speak,” she said, opening the door to the briefing room for me. It was better for the Marine to let me in somewhere I shouldn’t be than to speak to me.

During the campaign and at his recent rallies, Trump has relied on the press as one of his primary enemies—the wrestling heel. “Fake news” applies to any story he doesn’t like. After the Republican candidate in Montana’s special election body-slammed Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs and still won, Trump called it “a great win.” We like to think of ourselves as embattled Ben Jacobses, to think of ourselves as Steve Bannon does, as the opposition party. We like to think of Spy magazine’s stories about Trump, the “short-fingered vulgarian.” Or we like to pretend we are above the fray,

bringing unalloyed truth to the world. But often we are enablers. Trump, the NBC star, shares a world with TV reporters that the rest of us will never access. Cable news did more to put Trump in the White House than anything else. The media’s adoration of Trump didn’t begin with cable and this campaign. “There were four stories about Trump in one day’s issue of The New York Times newspaper,” the great newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin wrote in 1990. “On television that night, all I saw was announcers genuflecting as they mentioned Trump’s name.” We love the Trump show. Now the lovers—the press and the president—are quarrelling. “The bull is back,” said a reporter waving a small red cape as he walked into the briefing room a few minutes before Spicer came out in front of the lights.

In an interview with Laura Ingraham—one of the names being floated as his replacement— Spicer justified the off-camera briefings by claiming reporters, “want to become YouTube stars.” He’s right. But it’s mostly the new-right media figures who use the briefings to take selfies making ambiguously racist hand gestures or grandstand on Periscope like Pizzagate guru Mike Cernovich. After the briefing on May 1, Cernovich made a live-streaming stink, loudly demanding to know why the press corps wasn’t disavowing violence against Trump supporters. These new-right media figures act like rebels while primarily serving up propaganda for the president.

On May 12, after Trump contradicted his own communications team on the reason former FBI Director Jim Comey was fired, he suggested via Twitter that “maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future ‘press briefings’ and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???” The briefings are sort of stupid, but we have to defend them now. Just like we have to defend CNN. While they haven’t killed the briefings yet, they have moved toward more limited “gaggles” and away from on-camera appearances. CNN’s Jim Acosta came out after one of these briefings, on the solstice, and ripped the administration. “The question was asked whether the president has the ability to fire Robert Mueller. You won’t hear or see the answers to those questions. You’ll only be able to read about it.” Acosta’s general disdain for print is telling. He is in a fury over losing his TV time, even if it is for the sake of the people. But he has not, nor has anyone in the briefing, asked about Aaron Cantú, the reporter who is facing decades in prison for following the group that used black bloc techniques to disrupt the inauguration. Cameras are important, but there are more serious violations of the First Amendment happening. In his postmodern presidency, Trump has succeeded in making the briefings about the briefings. It will get worse. SW

The Bend City Council voted last week to approve a resolution designating Bend as “Welcoming City.” With that move, Bend joins the National Welcoming Cities and Counties Initiative, an organization of other cities and organizations across the country that share the value of creating a welcoming environment for immigrants, refugees and other people, regardless of “race, ethnicity, place of origin, or citizenship status.” Bend City Councilors voted unanimously in favor of the resolution June 21. Central Oregon’s Latino Community Association and Central Oregon Strong Voice spearheaded the effort. While not the same designation as the “Sanctuary City” designation adopted by some cities nationwide, the resolution included language aimed at ensuring the city continues to “refrain from the use of City funds, personnel and equipment from enforcing federal immigration laws and detaining people solely on their immigration status,” in line with Oregon state law.

Shevlin Park Expanding Bend’s Shevlin Park is expanding by more than 300 acres. A federal grant from the U.S. Forest Service Community Forest Program—and a matching local donation—are allowing Bend Park and Recreation District to acquire 329 acres of open space next to Shevlin Park on Bend’s western border. The area will be a “community forest” available for recreation, including bike and pedestrian trails, while also serving as a wildfire buffer and a migration area for winter deer herds. The Miller family of Bend owns The Tree Farm, a residential neighborhood currently under development west of Miller Elementary. “Our late father, William E. Miller, acquired this property over 60 years ago and was a careful steward of the land,” said Charley Miller. “It has been our family’s desire to make this beautiful property available to be enjoyed by the community for perpetuity.” BPRD collaborated with the Trust for Public Land to apply for the Forest Service grant that will allow them to acquire The Tree Farm open space at 50 percent of its fair market value. The remaining property value will donated by Tree Farm LLC.

Rainbow Gathering Gets Underway Near Burns Thousands of people are expected to gather in the Malheur National Forest beginning this week, as part of the annual gathering of the Rainbow Family of Living Light. The Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office says the gathering is scheduled for July 1 through July 7. According to Burns Paiute Tribal Chairman Joe DeLaRosa, the Rainbow Family—which holds numerous gatherings on public lands each year—has selected an area that contains a number of important archaeological and cultural resources. “The Rainbow Family’s proposed camp site is squarely within our ancestral territory,” said Chairman DeLaRosa. “This land is sacred to us, and we hope they respect it.” A Facebook event created for the event states: “This gathering to hold open worship, prayer, from July 1-7, but upon the 4th fourth day of July 4th at high noon to ask that there be a meditative, contemplative silence.” The group touts a non-violent, “pack it in pack it out philosophy.” According to DCSO, the Rainbow Gathering held in the Ochoco National Forest in 1997 involved 20,000 to 30,000 people, and caused “substantial impacts to the forest, forest roadways, state highways and nearby communities to include extraordinary demands on law enforcement, hospital and medical services, social services and businesses.” SW

The White House briefing room feels like a mansion’s pool house, but with the carpet of a church basement. On the eve of the summer solstice, after a week without an on-camera press briefing, the room smells like a grill doused with too much lighter fluid. Cameramen and techies move around in loose clothes and floral shirts. “A barbecue?” one reporter says. “Are we invited?” “I feel like we’d be the main course,” another says. It has just been reported that Sean Spicer, the combative and sometimes-dishonest press secretary may be moving to a new position in the White House. But he is scheduled to be here today. He walks out even pastier than on TV: The screen eats the makeup; in person, it is cakey. “I’m right here. So you can keep taking your selfies and selfie photos,” he says at one point. Reporters who knew Sean Spicer back in the day, when he was a flak for various Congress members, thought he was a good guy. But this gig started bad. “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration—period—both in person and around the globe,” Spicer falsely stated on the second day of his job, after berating the press for its coverage. His performance prompted Kellyanne Conway to coin the phrase “alternative facts.” Like flaks all around the country, the Trump press team believes that social media makes pesky reporters unnecessary. Someone asks Spicer about the off-camera briefings. “We have a tremendous respect for the First Amendment—your ability to do your job and report and seek out ideas—and we’re going to work with you,” he said.

695 million

ddressing Bend’s rapid, projected growth, City Councilors finalized the proposed $695 million biennium budget on June 21, focusing heavily on the transport, public safety and infrastructure sectors. Beefing up core services was at the forefront, with Mayor Casey Roats underlining “incorporating the demands growth puts on the community and maintaining livability and character of our existing city.” Roats went on to say that the city is doing well in its effort to combat some of its recent challenges, including the maintenance of roads. Councilors allocated $5.2 million over two years for street preservation — including fixing the potholes dreaded by so many Bend drivers. Streets are getting a 50 percent increase, according to City of Bend Finance Manager Sharon Wojda. Since Bend’s revenue streams are expected to remain the same, City staff reworked existing funds, cut infrastructure projects and reallocated a portion of the transient room tax back to the City’s general fund instead of toward tourism promotion, Wodja says. In addition, they cut reserves from 20 percent to approximately 17 percent across certain sectors, according to Mayor Roats. In his State of the City address on June 14, Roats also spoke about the

"Although we haven't cured the street problem on the long-term basis...we're making some really good strides." — Mayor Casey Roats various budget challenges Bend faces without an increase in revenue streams and “...trying to accommodate the growth, because it’s coming and no one one can stop it.” City Manager Eric King highlighted the need to stabilize spending as Bend faces increasing infrastructure challenges and needs to build roads, sidewalks, sewer and water lines—all while ensuring police officers and firefighters protect the influx of people. “Bend is routinely on the top 10 list of cities for places to retire, start a business or enjoy a craft brew,” King wrote, “This budget reflects a 5.5 percent increase for the first fiscal year and a 4.6 percent increase for the second, which accounts for the city’s core revenues (taxes, licenses, permits, rates and fees).” King also mentioned a need to increase staffing by 2.7 percent. With wages slowly growing — the

$ state-mandated minimum wage is increasing to $10.25 in Deschutes County on July 1 — but with rents and housing prices dramatically spiking, the City also chose to focus a portion of the budget on evaluating whether the local economy is sustainable at its current pace. King called this a “gut check” for Bendites and City Councilors, noting that Bend is “financially challenged by a uniquely low tax rate that was imposed by the state of Oregon in the 1990s.” As City of Bend Development Services Director Russell Grayson noted at the State of the City address, “There is no magic bucket of money sitting anywhere for us to just dip into,” but he also acknowledged that increased land use permits and System Development Charges are part of the key to helping prioritizing infrastructure— especially transportation initiatives. In addition, the City will spend nearly $60 million on sewer projects, with the council discussing longer-term plans for relieving traffic congestion. Seven city councilors and seven volunteers made up the budget committee, which began its work this past fall. The committee had a number of challenges, including “balancing the many needs of the community against the limited amount of money,” said Chair Peter Werner. “Some of the challenges are the tax rate our municipality is in,” he said, “and the way we can spend the money, some of which is restricted and can only be spent in certain departments.” With Bend’s population expected to increase by 30 percent in the next 10 years, City Manager King noted

that the City will have to come up with some creative and innovative ways to tackle some of its most important budgetary issues. Finance Manager Wojda called it a “lean budget” and was pleased that on the last day of deliberations, the committee was unanimous in its decision to approve it. But without a new revenue stream, the City will have to defer certain equipment purchases, facility improvements and cut down on reserves, Wojda laments. “Although we haven’t cured the street problem on the long term basis,” said Mayor Roats, “We’re making some really good strides.” And as Budget Committee Chair Werner noted, the “overarching theme is how do we get to a sustainable point where the streets are getting enough money with the limited amount we have.” SW

In 2017, Americans are less proud to be Americans than they’ve been since 2001. But ahead of the U.S.A.’s 241st birthday, a lack of pride doesn’t necessarily translate into a shortage of patriotism. By Nicole Vulcan Portrait by Rodney Thompson

Proud to be an American?

“

Loving your country shouldn’t just mean watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it.”

— Former President Barack Obama

“

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

— President Donald Trump

Many are. Still, a recent Gallup poll shows a significant decline in that pride over the last year. A March 2017 poll revealed that the percentage of Americans who are “extremely or very proud to be an American” dropped to a new low of 75 percent in 2017, down from the previous low of 81 percent in 2016. Back in 2001, just after the 9/11 attacks, the pride in being an American was at its highest since that poll began, at about 92 percent. According to Gallup, the current decline largely comes from Democrats, less than 10 percent of whom approved of the president this March. On June 18, the president’s overall approval rating was 38 percent— up 1 percent from a low of 37 percent in early June. At the same time, pride in being an American isn’t necessarily analogous to a decline in civic engagement. Actually, the two may have inverse correlations.

Portrait of a Patriot

FEATURE

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / June 29, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Take the case of the Bend Women’s March, which drew about 3,000 people to the streets following the presidential inauguration in January—one of the most well-attended marches the city has yet seen, organizers said. And if you’ve been in downtown Bend on a Tuesday since the November election, you may have noticed the crowd of demonstrators clustered on the corner of Bond Street and Greenwood Avenue, just outside the Bend office of Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR). In past months, some of the demonstrators were there to request that Rep. Walden hold a town hall in Bend—a request he heeded in May, when about 2,000 people packed into Bend’s Mountain View High School for the event. Demonstrators have also congregated in front of Walden’s office on Tuesdays to protest against the American Health Care Act, over which Walden has had at least some influence as chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce—the committee that released the initial draft of the AHCA in March. Other demonstrators on that corner have been there in support of Walden, and in turn, in support of the current administration’s policies. Yet, you might not know who’s who and what they represent just by looking. One of the people found on that corner in past months has been progressive activist Melissa Adams, who I previously interviewed for her involvement in the Women’s March. One Tuesday this spring, Adams was passing out small flags and placards with the U.S. flag upon them—signs and iconography often espoused by a more conservative crowd. Seeing someone wield the bold colors of red, white and blue somehow automatically conjures up the notion that this person is a “patriot,” a la Tea Party style. But that wasn’t the case here. Standing on the corner of Greenwood and Bond that day, Adams told me she’s a proud patriot, that patriots aren’t all conservatives, and that patriots aren’t people who blindly agree with everything their government does. Adopting some of those icons that have been associated with the one side of the political spectrum turns some of those traditional notions on their heads, and opens up a wider conversation:

New Low in Percentage of U.S. Adults Proud to Be Americans How proud are you to be an American -- extremely proud, very proud, moderately proud, only a little NEW LOW INallPERCENTAGE OF U.S. ADULTS PROUD TO BE AMERICANS proud or not at proud?

100 92

90 83

When it comes to patriotism, people’s definitions tend to have some common threads. An activist perspective Speaking on the definition of “patriot,” Adams had this to say: “A Patriot believes that we as individuals and as collective members of varied ethnic, religious, gender and gender identity groups, sexual orientations, etc. have these same rights and will stand up in solidarity to ensure that we all have these rights. “My favorite definition of a Patriot comes from Edward Abbey, who once said: “A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” A veteran’s perspective I met David—who declined to offer his last name— on a street corner in Bend, where he parks his

When it comes to patriotic symbols, the counter culture tends to lean toward symbols such as this, a la Bicentennial days.

Who’s a patriot? What do they do—or not do—that makes them a patriot? And should a patriot question their government? Definitions of Patriotism

scooter chair many afternoons, hoping to score some change from the drivers stopped at the intersection. A sign sits in his lap, announcing that he served in the Vietnam War. David says he lost a leg two years ago when he tried to break up a fight and was bitten on the leg. When that leg became infected due to diabetes, doctors had to remove it, David tells me. His definition of patriotism: “Standing up for your country,” he says. “I was willing to die for them. Now I want to die. I really do.” I asked David whether patriotism should involve questioning the government. He said yes, it definitely should. “Like right now,” David says. “I didn’t like Donald Trump, I still don't, but I think he made a hell of a great decision no other president would have done and that was drop that bomb (in Syria). No other president would have done that.” As for the ties between patriotism and the July 4 holiday, David tells me, “Just remember what July 4th’s about, you know. It’s about—kids don’t know what it’s about. A lot of people, all they’re thinking about is drinking, drugging and shit.” A “patriot” perspective BJ Soper, meanwhile, defines patriotism slightly differently, as: “The men and women who stand for our foundational values... the right to life, liberty, and property or as we know it now, the pursuit of happiness,” he says. Soper, who lives in Redmond, is the founder of the Central Oregon Constitutional Guard, part of the wider Pacific Patriots Network. In 2016, Soper acted as a go-between between the occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and law enforcement, encouraging the alleged occupiers to take a less-militant stance. “The people who hold our constitution on a pedestal as the supreme law of the land, as intended, and those who would give their life to defend our country from all threats, foreign and domestic. Some do so in the military, others here as civilians. But it all comes down to still believing in why the United States came to be—men and women, standing up and fighting to be free.” An immigrants’ rights perspective Local activist Joanne Mina had this to say about patriotism: “My experience is that for immigrants patriotism is born from the pride we take in our work and the contribution we make to strengthen the community we live in. Patriotism also comes from planting roots in our community, the love we

A legislator’s perspective Rep. Knute Buehler (R-Bend) represents Oregon House District 54—a divided district in which 46.36 percent of people voted for Donald Trump and 43.07 percent voted for Hillary Clinton during the November election. (More specifically, those were the voter turnout percentages for Deschutes County.) “The most basic form of patriotism is exercising your right to vote. Seeking to be well-informed about issues and candidates,” Buehler says. “A patriot is someone who serves and actively supports their country. This can range from upholding and participating in our basic democratic and civic institutions, serving in elected capacity, to risking one's life in the armed forces.”

“

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country.”

— Theodore Roosevelt

Flying the flag

Dissatisfied? That doesn’t mean you’re not a patriot Whatever side of the political aisle people stand on, one thing tends to be fairly universal: Questioning your government doesn’t mean you’re not patriotic. For some people—indicated by some of the quotes above—questioning your government and pushing for reform is actually the definition of patriotism. In a 2013 poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov, 48 percent of people said it was possible to refuse to serve in a war that they oppose and to still be a patriot. The same poll revealed that 51 percent of people believe it’s OK to criticize our leaders to foreigners, and 18 percent of those polled said it was OK to burn an American flag in protest and to still be considered patriotic.

You may still be a patriot A 2013 poll asked, “Is it possible for someone to do the following things and still be considered patriotic?”

“Without question, patriots should question their government,” Buehler says. “America was proudly founded on the idea of challenging authority. Our Bill of Rights and Constitution protect the rights and voices of the minority along with a free and vigilant press." On the act of moving for change, Mina looks back at past movements as examples of what can be possible. “The Suffrage Movement, the American Indian Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, those that work to ensure migrant workers’ rights, those that opposed the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, those that oppose the wall or the Muslim ban and those that protest social injustice every Tuesday in downtown Bend are examples of Patriots,” Mina said. “People that have an invested interest in shaping the progress of this nation towards justice and equality.” Of those who can't—or don't—vote, Buehler

Another symbol of patriotism: the angry-looking eagle, espoused by militia and tea party groups.

says, "Choosing not to vote is also a form of political expression. Non-citizens in America, while they may not enjoy the right to vote, do enjoy the freedoms and responsibilities guaranteed under our laws. Specifically, the right to free speech and assembly.” The differences are in how people show it So far, the definition of patriotism is fairly universal. What can widely differ, however, is how people demonstrate that patriotism. The angry eagle meme, for one, is often seen sported by conservatives. A 1970s-style take on flag style, meanwhile, is more of a hipster fashion statement. When it comes to flying the flag, Republicans take the patriotic cake. In a 2007 poll published by Pew Research, 73 percent of Republicans said they display the U.S. flag at home, in an office or on their car, with 55 percent of Democrats doing so, and 63 percent of Independents flying the flag. Geography and age were factors, too; just 57 percent of people in the U.S. West reported flying the flag, compared to a high of 69 percent in the Northeast. Of those ages 30 to 49, 63 percent flew the flag. That number increased to 65 percent of people ages 50 to 64, and 71 percent among people over age 65.

Radical Patriotism As the current president’s approval rating continues to hover at record lows, many self-professed patriots seem likely to relate to Roosevelt’s words to “support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country.” Indeed, many progressive activists have been galvanized by the actions of the current president. Progressive activist Frida Berrigan wrote in an article published in Salon this year: “…I’m seeing so much that’s right about it in this new Trump era of engagement or, if you prefer, call it radical patriotism. I’m mad; I’m scared; I’m hopeful; I’m still in love — more so than ever — with this country Trump is trying to hijack.” Trump’s approval rating was 45 percent in the days following his inauguration on Jan. 20—a day he declared a national holiday, titled, “National Day of Patriotic Devotion,” in order to, according to the text of the declaration, to “strengthen our bonds to each other and to our country—and to renew the duties of Government to the people.” The president’s declaration included the words: “There is no freedom where the people do not believe in it; no law where the people do not follow it; and no peace where the people do not pray for it.” If “praying for it” means also taking action to improve their own lives and those of others, then many Central Oregonians are already on track. “Reagan said that it only takes one generation to lose liberty forever,” said Soper of the Central Oregon Constitutional Guard. “So who are Patriots, again? Well, they are those who stand and say I’m fighting to keep my freedom, my liberty, my right to choose my path and answer to no man. They come from all realms of life and from every corner of this country, and they would give every penny and drop of blood to make sure that we are not the generation that loses liberty for our posterity.” SW

have for our children and how when we see them overcome and spread their wings in this country, their home, we can’t help to wish peace and prosperity for this land. Mina, whose letter, titled, “The White People Problems Usually Discussed in Letters to the Editor” won the Source’s letter of the week June 15, went on to say, “However, the word 'Patriot' also triggers fear, because of people like alleged sexual predator Bill O’Reilly that took the word Patriot to represent those that see this country built for people of Anglo European descent with Judeo-Christian faith.”

Celebrate Independence Day on a bike, with the wind in your hair. And remember that in Oregon, public nakedness is not illegal. By Jared Rasic

Brian Potwin’s (the education coordinator for Commute Options) Independence Ride started and ended at private homes, but picked up people as it went. (Secret location TBD).

Anti-Freedom Ride Rob Landauer’s “Anti-Freedom Ride Freedom Ride” has had some success over the last couple years as the event for people not looking to disrupt the roadways. (Unconfirmed ride, you gotta know someone for details). SW

Pre-dom RIde

Another new branch off of the Freedom Ride is the “Pre-dom to Freedom” ride, a precursor to the OG Freedom Ride. Samuel Benjamin Newman, from Bend Cruiser Ride, explains the difference between the two: “The largest differences between the rides are two factors. First: Music. We have prepared the most American playlist you can imagine. Then we turn it to 11 while we ride bikes. It’s truly not bad. Second: The Pre-dom ride is an actual bike ride with a route, planned stops and some interaction with the organizers. The freedom ride has a larger scope. It is fun because of the sheer scale of the number of people and bikes together. I will say it is much less of a bike ride. More of a bike scoot.” According to Newman, “The route is classified above top secret,” so if you want to get in on the fun, it’s time to put your detective skills to work. But does Bend even need multiple Freedom Rides? Isn’t that just more pockets of people spread over more space? Newman explains the reasoning why: “There are two separate rides now for the fact that people want to

Freedom Ride.

The OG Freedom Ride begins at Bend's Pioneer Park and works its way through downtown, ending up at Columbia Park. Over the last few years the biggest changes have been a shift to a much younger crowd that’s as drunk, high and as close to naked as humanly possible. Obviously that’s not everyone, but walking through Pioneer Park last year before the ride started, it was easy to lose count of the number of man thongs, body paint and empty PBR cans. As someone who has lived next to Pioneer Park for almost a decade, I love watching the people slowly congregate in the park and then take off like a flock of drunk birds. There were a few years where the amount of litter left behind made my blood boil, but last year the park was almost spotless after the majority of the group took off. Since the Freedom Ride has started skewing younger, other smaller rides have sprung up for people looking to celebrate without all of the shenanigans.

ride. The Freedom Ride is great, but might not offer everyday cyclists a chance to ride with fewer people. The Pre-dom to Freedom ride aims to honor a community ride that provides enough room to ride comfortably. The Freedom Ride can get a little cramped and because of that (at some points) ceases to be a ride.” There is something uniquely American about riding a bike with friends and strangers to celebrate our country’s freedom. “There is no better way of celebrating the freedom we have in the country than on your bike,” says Newman. “The amount of wind in your hair, coupled with the fun factor of the many, many people make the Freedom Ride a mega spectacle for people watching, Bend, Oregon, culture, cool bikes and cold beer.” It doesn’t get much more American than that. Pre-dom to Freedom meets at Noon at Bend's Columbia Park.

The Fourth of July Freedom Ride is one of those annual Bend institutions going for over a decade—somehow without any central leadership or organization. But over the last few years, the Freedom Ride became less about celebrating American independence and shifted into something else entirely. Here’s a peek into the rides happening this July 4 and why you might wanna join in the fun.

Painting Over Depression

The colorful way to beat the blues Drop the Prozac and pick up a paint brush. Can the process of making art actually slay the twin emotional demons of depression and anxiety? Most definitely, according to one Oregon painter, who claims artistic creativity can settle your thoughts and ignite positivity in all areas of your life. “Being an artist is being authentic to myself,” says Marigny Goodyear, who’s currently displaying her work inside a downtown Bend interior design studio. “Life is more comfortable when I’m being true to who I am.” It wasn’t always this way. “For a long time, I tried to be many things that I’m not and that led to feeling out of place, which made my anxiety and depression much worse.” Goodyear, who has lived in the Rogue Valley area of southwest Oregon for nearly a decade, specializes in mixed media abstract paintings. Her work, she says, reflects her current state of mind—a state she refers to as a form of meditation called “abstract expressionism.” Her pictures are filled with a stunning variety of big, bold shapes and colors. “When I’m painting, I don’t think about the laundry that needs to be done or that the car needs an oil change,” she says. “All decisions are based simply on what feels good in that second. Just breathe and create.” Being in Oregon doesn’t hurt either. Goodyear, who had previously spent time in New Orleans and Boston, admits her natural surroundings play a big role in her zen approach. Skiing and surfing, as opposed to “spending time in Louisiana swamplands,” puts her in the right state of mind for art. “Just breathe and go with the flow and that mindset trickles into all of my life.” SW Marigny Goodyear: Control and Chaos Legum Design 922 NW Bond St., Bend Throughout July, Free marignygoodyearart.com

Out and ‘Aboot

Giving kudos to Canada on its 150th birthday, from our Canadian reporter By Magdalena Bokowa 55

Oh pardon me, sorr-ye.

Talking American Politics: In The U.S., It’s Taboo. In Canada, It’s A National Pastime With the longest unprotected border in the world, it’s an amazing feat that this sibling rivalry is as seemingly peaceful as it is. I’d wager most Americans forgot about us until 2015 when hunky Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came into the picture, ex-boxing bod in full force and making headlines for forming an equal-gender cabinet simply because, as he put it, “It’s 2015.” Without going too much into the recent political turmoil in the U.S., I have to say: U.S.A., you hate getting political. Which makes this whole Trump thing even more infuriating for you. This whole thing is just dragging

We’re a bunch of weird hosers.

No Russian ties here, Poutine, fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy is mighty tasty, especially at 2am.

on isn’t it? Why can’t we talk about football instead? The old adage about not talking about “politics, sex or religion” with family members at Thanksgiving has never been more true. I learned this the uncomfortable way when we didn’t go to Thanksgiving last year because of a “Who-said-you-said-what?-aboutTrump’s-(fake)-inauguration-size Facebook war/longest thread of my entire life” I had with my husband’s (Republican) family member. We ended up at a cult/yoga “retreat” instead, all thanks to my Canadian pleasure in dissecting American politics. I’ve learned that talking politics — except in select situations — is taboo because it’s something that’s viewed as a precursor to an argument — which makes sense considering you only have two major political parties. No wonder you’re polarized. With at least five major Canadian political parties, politics can be, far less, shall we say argumentative? And exciting. Unless you’re French-Canadian. Then that can get weird, pretty fast (Quebec has that niche-Texan-weshould-separate mentality). Canadians tend to have less of an extreme right or left and more so, a scattering of ideologies on a vast, more lenient

plane. Within government, Canadians tend to trust authority, evident in our tied history to the British monarchy and as part of The Commonwealth. We didn’t show King George the door; we still have his ancestor’s face on our (Monopoly) money. Canadian and American politicians remarkably behave much the same; just think of these two words: Rob Ford — the cocaine-snorting, bellowing and extremely photogenic ex-mayor of Toronto. The greatest differences in our politics seem to have arisen in the ‘70s and ‘80s when the U.S veered towards Reaganism and Canada continued on a liberal path until an eight-year conservative government sprouted up in the mid-2000s. Canada has moved to the center while the United States has, well, that’s up for debate at the moment. Still, same-sex marriage was legal way back in 2004, with the U.S only following suit 11 years later. From my experience as a political studies major and journalist, Canadians generally approve of the government (once in place) and rally behind it. Americans tend to show distrust and can view it as a necessary evil, which is evident in the amount of “freedom” jargon you guys always throw at me

• Biggest consumer of macaroni and cheese • Biggest oil reserve after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela • More lakes than the world combined • Alcohol is heavily regulated. Try finding a liquor store open after 5pm on a Sunday. • Prostitution is legal. Buying it is not. • There’s an island called Dildo. Seriously. • National Parks are free in 2017 • We take our shoes off at home. • There’s nothing like it being so cold your snot freezes, to unify a country together. • We’re polite but also righteously confrontational. • Wayne Gretzky is a national hero. Justin Bieber is not. • Diversity is the biggest source of pride. Ranked over hockey. • Hearing “Canadians are so nice” never gets old to Canadians

Canada

’m over here, the Canadian hiding in the corner, sitting on the chesterfield (that's Canadian for couch). Most days I fly by undetected. I look like you, I wear flannel, I enjoy burritos, string music and hip-hop. But then I ask to go to the washroom, talk about the greatest comedians of all time - a la’ Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and Rick Moranis, scrunch my face anytime someone mentions Bieber or Nickelback and give you a blank stare when you talk about “that time in freshman/sophomore/junior year. And lawd’ don’t get me started if an “out and aboot” comes out — you’ll sniff me out quicker than I can say, “Eh?” Hi. I’m Canadian, a legal U.S. alien and terribly proud of it — just ask my American husband. He’ll tell you just how great I think Canada is. I’ve been in ‘Murica for almost four years, and in that time, I’ve been — quietly and politely — chalking up the similarities and differences between our two fair nations. On the eve of my motherland’s 150th birthday on July 1—Canada Day—I’d like to share my love and hate relationship with you.

Out and 'Aboot continued... around the Fourth of July. Immigration: Melting Pot vs Mosaic 57 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 26 / June 29, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Nothing is more sought after then the “American Dream,” where the chance for transformation is traded for assimilation. The U.S. has an abundance of opportunity, bolstered by its capitalistic nature — where even a corporation is viewed as a person. Never have I thought anything is more possible than living in America. Loans are doled out on a whim, tax rates are low when compared to Canada and support is high for the dreamy entrepreneur. Immigrants to the U.S. see the coveted green card as an honorable achievement and end up identifying as American first with their previous citizenry secondary. Yes, America’s the melting pot of ethnicities, but don't forget you’re freaking American first. For me, this rang ever so true when I received my first official green card papers, congratulating me on becoming a “legal alien”— something I found offensive, as “alien” seemed to be someone completely foreign, almost unwelcome, but tolerated. Growing up in Toronto as a first generation immigrant— my parents escaped communist Poland in the late ‘80s — I was surrounded by other first generations from Portugal, Trinidad, The Philippines... the list goes on. We were all sheepish about how our kitchens reeked of smells from our native countries, but when asked where were we from, we’d always answer with the native country first. I am Polish-Canadian. Multiculturalism is celebrated, not shelved. Social anthropologists deem this as a mosaic, which is slightly different than the melting pot mentality. Andrew Kohut, an American pollster, argued that the real differences

The difference between Canada and America? Nuff said.

But, the concealed carry permit you guys got going on scares the living bejeebers out of me. Health Care When I first moved here, a member of the “Universal Healthcare for All Oregonians” found out I was Canadian and approached me to do a talk at the public library regarding healthcare. I lamented that my only medical qualification was being a) Canadian

Every time someone makes a Canadian joke I go to the hospital to get my feelings checked… For free. between Canada and the United States are not national, but rather regional. That is, Canadians and Americans in adjacent regions are likely to resemble each other – eastern Canada with New England and Oregon with British Columbia. I’d add that liberal Americans have more than a passing resemblance to liberal Canadians, and conservative Canadians to conservative Americans, worshipping at the shrines of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher – a sign perhaps that both countries are indebted to their transatlantic forefather, the United Kingdom. Guns I’m not going to touch this one with a 10-foot/3.3 metre pole.

and b) using the system. He was overly enthusiastic that this more than qualified me. The talk went fine, up until the very end when a cute, buttonnosed 80-year-old woman raised her hand and asked, “In Canada, does your free health care pay for abortions, too?” Red-faced, bumbling, I replied that I had no idea… but that, yes, although I don’t have to worry that my burst appendix will cost me $45,000, abortions, because elective, probably weren’t free. Neither are prescriptions, unless you’re over the age of 65. Yes, the healthcare system, paid out of tax dollars, (that yes, are higher than the U.S.’) is a fraught system. Long waits, delayed procedures, overworked doctors can be the norm. You hear stories of Canadians crossing the border to get MRIs. But I have never

had anxiety over the state of my health as I have while living in America — and I’m 29. Plus, if I have a baby, I get 50 weeks of paid maternity leave. Booyah. Sorry, Not Sorry OK, USA. I’m sorry. Really sorry, for not maple-syruping some of these truths, and on the eve of your freedom celebration, no less. It’s not in my nature as a Canadian to be this mean… which leads me to the last truth. Canadians are not as nice as we seem and it can be hard to live next to a cultural, military and economic superpower such as the United States. But Canadians secretly love being the underdog, because if you’re on top, you may just topple. We like being the quiet ones, waiting in the wings, or the penalty box. (Had to slip that hockey reference in there). But saying sorry — as we so often do — is good for you. Although we’re mocked for always apologizing, studies at the University of Waterloo found that saying sorry boosts happiness and strengths relationships. And if you’re not convinced, apologizing to a cop gets your fine reduced by an average of $51. Refusing to apologize may lead to a sense of empowerment… but that’s not in your nature is it, America? America, I love you. But you’re bloody weird. SW

Gena GoodmanCampbell Oregon Natural Desert Association public lands coordinator By Richard Sitts

his land is your land. And the more people who talk about it, the better. That’s the distinct message that Gena Goodman-Campbell, the public lands coordinator for the Oregon Natural Desert Association, works to share. A native Portlander, Goodman-Campbell moved to Bend 11 years ago after earning a degree at Colorado College. She’s been with ONDA— celebrating its 30th anniversary this year—for about 10 years. Before that, Goodman-Campbell worked with the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group as the campus organizer at Central Oregon Community College, where she says she got a lot of experience in grassroots organizing. For ONDA, she worked as the Badlands Wilderness coordinator and the Central Oregon Wilderness coordinator before becoming the public lands coordinator early this year. Her past roles involved leading efforts to protect public lands in the John Day, Owyhee and Hart-Sheldon areas. Now, a large part of her job involves working on public lands policy. “I feel like I‘ve been paid to get a Ph.D. in public lands,” she says. Goodman-Campbell says the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation last year “gave us a preview of some of the threats to public lands, and everyone who enjoys public lands knows that they belong to them and has the responsibility to speak up for them. “Our focus right now is really to grow the ranks of people who are speaking out for public lands, because public land is a place where we can find a lot of common ground.” During—and since— the Malheur takeover, she says Harney County leaders were calling, saying, “This is how you can support us. We love public lands,” she says.

“A major effort I’m working on now is a new idea for ONDA, but also goes back to our roots, a program called Public Land Leaders, to give people all over the state tools and resources to talk to others about public lands and why public lands matter to them and why they need to speak up for public lands.” Goodman-Campbell says people can do this by contacting elected leaders and expressing their opinions. The mission is to promote a more diverse group of people to talk about public lands, she adds. “It just can’t be coming from ONDA.” Goodman-Campbell says one of her favorite things about her job is leading trips into wilderness areas each year—including one to the Owyhee Canyonlands, a major area of focus for ONDA. She reflects, “You go there and wonder, how is this not a national park?” ONDA makes about 30 field restoration trips a year. “We take people out and put them to work,” she says. One project had volunteers from ONDA and other groups pulling out obsolete barbed wire fences from the Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, removing enough barbed wire to stretch across the state of Oregon. Meanwhile, she says the current review of national monuments is one of the bigger threats facing public lands. “It’s not just an attack on national monuments at the federal level but an attack on public lands in general.” In college, Goodman-Campbell studied political science and conflict resolution. “I still focus in my work on bridging divides. I grew up using and enjoying public lands and often took them for granted. I never thought they could go away or be destroyed.” One thing that’s been apparent to her since then, she says, is the beauty to be found in eastern Oregon. “In just the past 10 years I’ve discovered

these amazing places and landscapes. You could spend a lifetime exploring the high desert without even scratching the surface. “The main thing that keeps me going is the people who I’ve met working for ONDA. There’s a lot of integrity and passion. ONDA started as a real grassroots organization by volunteers who love our public lands and high desert. And the people I’ve met in the more rural parts of Oregon—that’s been a real life-changing experience for me.” Goodman-Campbell says her long-term goal is to reach a wider variety of people and empower people in rural communities, including native peoples. “Building trust and building relationships takes a lot of time and is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work,” she says. “Public lands are a big part of what makes life worth living and are what makes living in Bend and all of Oregon so great. Without public lands, Oregon just wouldn’t be what it is and life wouldn’t be nearly as rich.” ONDA will observe its 30th anniversary at Crow’s Feet Commons this Friday. The title of the iconic Woody Guthrie song, “This Land Is Your Land” is also the theme for a rally in support of public lands, from 4:30-6 p.m., July 27, location TBD. SW

Mantra Indian Kitchen is Hot, Salty, Tart and Sweet Discovered: A Drinkable Mango Ocean Roll Photos and words By Lisa Sipe 61 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 26 / June 29, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ith the opening of Mantra Indian Kitchen & Tap Room on Bond and Franklin, downtown Bend now boasts two Indian restaurants. Mantra is the brick and mortar embodiment of the Curry Shack food cart owned by Runi Srikantaiah. Mantra has the bones of a restaurant that has had multiple lives. In fact, not much has changed in the interior since the previous restaurant, Fire in Bend, remodeled it. Mantra has given the space some Indian flair with a few Bollywood movie posters, red drapes backlit with fairy lights, and a big screen TV playing dramatic Indian music videos. It isn’t obvious when you walk in, but service at Mantra is casual: place your order at the counter and then pick your seat. The menu is pretty simple compared to lots of Indian restaurants, it’s divided into Street Food tiffin (small bites), rice & curry bowls, each with five options; and then thali—larger meals based on the same curry bowls. Even with this tight, easy to choose from menu, there are plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. I started my dinner with samosas, the crispy triangular pastry filled with spiced potatoes and peas served with tangy tamarind and green chutneys. The samosas were satisfyingly crunchy and the sweet chutneys brightened the savory filling. The green chutney, meanwhile, was primarily sweet and I was expecting more acidity and an explosion of fresh herbs. After the appetizer I was already full; this is a cuisine of comfort food that sticks to your ribs. I soldiered on and ordered a thali (pronounced ta-lee) meal with butter chicken. Thali is a full meal on one plate or tray, with the various dishes coming in small bowls called katori. If you order the thali you better be hungry because here is what was on my neatly organized metal tray: seasoned rice, naan (flatbread), pappadam (rice cracker), butter chicken, saag (spinach curry with potatoes), chole (chickpea curry), cucumber-yogurt raita, green chutney and mango pickle.

Star time at Mantra includes the thali meal (top), crispy samosa (bottom left) and exotic seasonings.

spice so on my next bite I tempered it by adding a little of the cucumber-yogurt raita. That was delicious but I had to see what it was like if I added the mango pickle. This to me was perfection. The combination hit what I love about Indian food, the sublime mix of tart, salty, hot and sweet. If you’ve never had mango pickle, it’s not like an American cucumber pickle; it’s raw

Mantra is a fresh, flavorful addition to the Bend food scene and an easy place to grab some exotic comfort food." Even if you are overwhelmed by all of those options on one plate, stick with me. It’s really a fun way to try lots of different flavor combinations. I started with the butter chicken, a mildly spicy curry with butter and cream, and scooped it up with a piece of the naan. The butter chicken had a bit of

mango pickled in oil with spices including mustard seeds, garlic and chilis. This flavor isn’t for the faint of heart; it was pungent enough to make my eye twitch, but I couldn’t stop eating it. The supporting cast in my thali, the saag and chole, were good but not the stars of the show. The saag—spinach

curry with potatoes—didn’t have any sign of spinach. The only green part of the curry was the cilantro leaf on top. I have a feeling they ran out of the saag and substituted a different curry with potatoes and carrots. Even with this substitution I was satisfied because there was just so much food to enjoy. Mantra has a bar with 13 local taps featuring mostly beer with a few cider and kombucha options. I wanted so badly to have the room to try their mango lassi, so I ordered one to go. The lassi, an Indian smoothie with yogurt, mango and cardamom, tasted like a drinkable ocean roll with mangos. It was absolutely delicious and I might be addicted. Mantra is a fresh, flavorful addition to the Bend food scene and an easy place to grab some exotic comfort food. And don’t be afraid to try those mango pickles; it’s worth the eye twitch. SW

Lounge around at St. Johns Beer Porch, or cram into Tap Haus—either is fun.

he beer scene along North Lombard Street, in the northern Portland neighborhood of St. Johns, is shrinking. Literally. Start on one end of the busy avenue, and it’s possible to visit a succession of neat local joints that do, in fact, get successively smaller and smaller, wrapping up in a place that’s scarcely larger than a shipping container. Portland might be in the throes of a post-gentrification identity crisis at the moment, but this stretch of road on the northernmost tip of Portland, just a stone’s throw away from Vancouver across the river, is about as oldstyle Rose City as it gets. True, there’s a fancy New Seasons Market in nearby University Park, but this is still the realm of decades-old bars that feature

It is perhaps this coziness that makes it a neighborhood staple, featuring a large cast of regulars and all the $5 Boneyard the city can consume. character, intimacy and perhaps not the cleanest floors. Slim’s Restaurant, for example, describes itself as “a little dingy, a little dark and divey” on its own website, and is absolutely all of those things. It feels a bit like stepping into the 1960s, except there’s things like Bear Republic’s Racer 5 IPA on tap—this is Portland, after all. To begin this tour down North Lombard, however, it’s best to stop at

the St. Johns Beer Porch first. Sharing space on a street corner with a local farmers market, the Beer Porch is both a food truck pod (Chowdah has arguably the best cheesesteak in the state) and outdoor lounge featuring a hefty taplist. This is the spiritual Portland home of Captured by Porches Brewing, which actually does its brew work in Gresham but retains a presence here, pouring its beers out of an old, rusted bus in one corner. Invasive Species is their main IPA, available in bottles around a few different places in Portland, but for this hot, dry summer, the apricot blonde currently available is a surer pick. Right across the street from the Beer Porch is Lombard House, which opened in a converted craftsman-style home last fall. It’s run by Brian Koch, well known locally for his time working at places like Upright and The Commons, and there’s usually a bit from both on tap. It’s got a huge outdoor backyard, and thanks to Koch’s connections, it’s a good place to try the newest in Portland beer, including a saison from the brand-new Little Beast Brewing in Beaverton. Last, and also least size-wize, is Tap Haus a few doors down. Tap Haus is another primarily outdoor-oriented place, for the simple fact that the interior can hold maybe four people at once, including the proprietor. It is perhaps this coziness that makes it a neighborhood staple, featuring a large cast of regulars and all the $5 Boneyard the city can consume. Just like the rest of North Lombard, it’s not fancy, but it’s eminently inviting. SW

Marvel Studios strikes again with its most colorful and bizarre adventure yet. If you love Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Rocket and Groot, then this is an unmissable addition to the cinematic universe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

ALIEN: COVENANT: Ridley Scott dives back

the uncanny ability to take working class lives and stage their stories as heartwarming (sometimes heartbreaking) narratives. This film tells the story of a 59-year-old carpenter who has a heart attack and must rely on welfare for the first time in his life. A beautiful political allegory. Tin Pan Theater.

into the universe of his classic “Alien” franchise after 2012's disappointing “Prometheus.” This one looks much more keyed into the series' horror roots and should be a fun, nostalgic trip back to the xenomorph's home planet. Plus, James Franco is in this and watching him get killed by an alien is on my bucket list. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX..

ALL EYEZ ON ME: It was bound to happen

eventually: a biopic based on the life of Tupac Shakur. Let's hope it's more like the excellent “Straight Out of Compton” and less like the horrible Biggie movie “Notorious.” It is truly amazing how much actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. looks like Tupac, though. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT:

Another summer means another “Transformers” movie, but this one goes a little bonkers with its plot. Now with King Arthur, Merlin, dragons and apace gods...just in case the mythology of this series needed to be a little more convoluted. Still, if you like explosions, this series continues to deliver. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema.

WAKEFIELD: Bryan Cranston plays Howard Wakefield, a New York lawyer who suffers a midlife crisis and hides out in the attic of his home. All of us have imagined putting our life on hold and this film shows exactly what that would look like. Sisters Movie House. WONDER WOMAN: Finally, a big screen adaptation of one of the most beloved superheroes in history. It's amazing that it took this long. Advanced word is that the DC Extended Universe has finally gotten it right with this one in ways they failed with “Batman Vs. Superman” and “Suicide Squad.” History has been made with this film.

SCREEN Bay to the Future

Another summer, another "Transformers" By Jared Rasic 65

Paramount

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 26 / June 29, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

For a robot, he’s much nicer than he looks.

t’s 484 AD and a drunken Merlin (the always-perfect Stanley Tucci) rides his horse toward a massive battlefield to meet with King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Before the battle, he forges an alliance with a hidden group of Transformers that combines into a massive flying dragon and turns the tide of the war against the Saxons. This is a movie. People made it. Ridiculous. Stonehenge also shows up. Just sayin’. When you watched the first “Transformers” movie a decade ago, did you ever imagine that the franchise would eventually make close to $4 billion over the course of five feature films? With a Bumblebee spinoff movie set for 2018 and “Transformers 6” coming in 2019, there’s no end in sight to Michael Bay’s ‘splodey paean to excess and consumerism. The franchise’s latest mixes it up a bit, setting it a little ways in the future. Transformers are now illegal on Earth (except for Cuba) and it’s basically a war between their spe-

It's the purest distillation of the big, dumb, fun summer blockbuster...for better or worse. It's 'Murica: The Motion Picture, flag waving included. cies and ours. The planet is borderline post-apocalyptic with the remains of Autobots and Decepticons scattered around, evidence of massive battles left to rust where they lay. The robots that have survived are in hiding, desperate to avoid the U.S. government, which is systematically hunting them down with unlimited resources and their own robot army (that look suspiciously like ED-209 from “Robocop”). Also, Transformers continue to land on Earth for an unknown and mysterious reason, keeping the human populace fearful of all Autobots and Decepticons. The last we saw of Optimus Prime (in “Transformers: Age of Extinction”) he was headed into space looking for the creators of his race. Megatron had lost the battle once again and

retreated, swearing to return with a vengeance. There’s even a cute robot reminiscent of WALL-E or BB-8, ready to be marketed and shipped for Christmas, but you really can’t blame Michael Bay since the Transformers were invented to sell toys in the first place. When each movie has macguffins with goofy names like the AllSpark, the Matrix of Leadership (seriously) and the Seed, the plot is really secondary to the imagery and explosions. “The Last Knight” is filled with the flourishes that make Michael Bay swoon, such as low-angled shots of people stepping into frame, slow-mo explosions and military/mechanical fetishism. Mark Wahlberg returns as horribly-named Cade Yeager, single father and (ahem) genius inventor. Along with returning cast members Josh Duhamel, John Turturro and a paycheck-grabbing Anthony Hopkins, everyone acquits themselves admirably, considering these movies are mostly people pretending to talk to robots. The real question is why “The Last Knight” needed to be 149 minutes long. These movies are still ostensibly for kids, so why does Bay think they’re capable of sitting still for two and a half hours? You know exactly what you’re getting with this. The story is a convoluted mess but there’s lots of exciting action and pretty explosions following bad jokes and ham-fisted dialogue. It’s more entertaining than the last one, but none of it captures the highs of the Battle of Chicago in “Dark of the Moon.” It’s the purest distillation of the big, dumb, fun summer blockbuster... for better or worse. It’s ‘Murica: The Motion Picture, flag waving included. SW Transformers: The Last Knight

Looking Out For a Hero Sam Elliott Gets a Chance to Shine By Jared Rasic 67 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 26 / June 29, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

s Sam Elliott a national treasure? Are we comfortable as a society giving him that honor, or is that something we collectively decide posthumously? I grew up watching the off-brand Sam Elliott Westerns such as “The Shadow Riders,” “The Hi-Lo Country,” and “Conagher.” Sure, it might be stuff like “Tombstone” and “Road House” that made him a household name, but Elliott was always best playing in the smaller sandboxes. “The Hero” is one of those smaller sandboxes, but it gives Elliott a giant canvas on which to paint. Sam Elliott plays Lee Hayden, an actor famous for Westerns that came out back in the day. He still does voiceover work and the odd acting gig here and there, but the golden age of his career is behind him. After a cancer diagnosis that doesn’t leave him much time, Lee attempts to figure out something to do—something quick and lasting that will leave him a legacy that doesn’t contain the words “has-been.” Director and co-writer Brett Haley has so much empathy for Lee that the camera just lingers on Elliott’s heavily lined face and soaks in his majestic and honeyed voice. Haley loves Elliott as much as he loves Lee, so he never attempts to take away from the performance with showy camera moves or stylistic flourishes. There’s a beautiful scene in which Lee is smoking a joint and watching Buster Keaton’s “The General.” Just from the look in his eyes, we can tell he’s wondering whether he’ll leave behind something quite so lasting and iconic. A lesser film would have left

Still dreamy after all these years.

that scene on the cutting room floor, unaware that it even transpired. The old cowboy doesn’t like buying his pot from dispensaries; instead he goes over to an old friend’s house for the weed. Played by Ron Swanson himself, Lee’s friend, Jeremy, is a judgment-free zone. He respects Lee so much that he just loves having him over, even though he doesn’t fashion himself a drug dealer. An entire film of Sam Elliott and Nick Offerman having philosophical discussions while getting stoned would be much appreciated, so can someone please get on that? Lee (combined with the “Western

Hero” history Elliott brings to the role) feels like a man out of time, a relic of a golden age of film in which the women were all starlets, the men had class and Hollywood was in the business of making magic. Watching Lee driving around L.A. is an anachronism made flesh, like the spirit of the West stepped off the movie screen and, instead of hopping on his trusted steed, slid behind the wheel of a Prius and hummed off into the sunset. “The Hero” tells a story we’ve seen before, but in a way that gives it new life. By finding the perfect actor to play Lee (Scott Glenn, Keith Carradine

and maybe Eastwood are the only others who could even attempt it), Haley has given Elliott a gift. It’s a film that feels so intensely personal and specific to the man that Elliott might have found his legacy, along with Lee. Either way, they both have something to be proud of. SW

Ready to Go Beyond Bend? A Network of trails now spans the country

GO HERE

Three Creek Lake and Hiking Ready to get out and about with the fam or your visitors? Go here.

Above is a map showing the major trails in the western U.S.

network of long trails crisscrosses the West, through open deserts and wild forests. Many trails follow historic routes where people made pilgrimages or embarked on exploratory expeditions. The National Trails System, managed by the National Park Service, has officially designated some of these extensive trails, seen here. HOW IT WORKS Under the National Trails System Act, passed in 1968, national scenic trails and national historic trails are long-distance paths designated by acts of Congress. National recreation trails and connecting and side trails may be designated by the secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture with the consent of the federal agency, state or political subdivision involved.

ALL HANDS ON DECK Agencies involved include the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Department of the Army, Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration. MILES IN THE SYSTEM 60,000+ (all 50 states) HIGHEST ELEVATION Continental Divide Trail Highest point is 13,271 feet at Coney Summit in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains above Lake City. On another

trail, thru-hikers willing to veer slightly away from the Pacific Crest Trail can summit California’s Mount Whitney, 14,494 feet. OLDEST IN THE WEST Pacific Crest Trail The PCT was the first trail designated when the National Trails Act was created in 1968; the first recorded proposal for a trail through California, Oregon and Washington, was in 1926. (The oldest trail in the U.S. is the Long Trail in Vermont, which runs the length of the state and was constructed between 1910 and 1930.) SW This article originally appeared in High Country News June 26.

Who is this trip for? This trip is great for families with children or visiting friends or family. The snow has finally dissipated and we can get into the Cascades. Hooray! From Bend, we tend to go up Cascade Lakes Highway to find an alpine lake, but Three Creek Lake is another great option. Located just to the east of the Three Sisters and Broken Top, south of Sisters, it’s only accessed by driving northwest from Bend to Sisters and then back south to the lake. Three Creek Lake is a cirque, or glacially carved lake with a shore that varies from beach to gentle slope to rocky cliff, all surrounded by an old growth forest of Ponderosa and Lodgepole pines. Enjoy the lake by simply kicking back next to it, taking a dip in the cold waters or taking a hike. Climb a steep hill from the northeast side of the lake to access Tam McArthur Rim, an incredible alpine plateau in the lap of the mountains—stunningly beautiful. Keep going a few miles and you’ll encounter glaciers, cerulean-blue glacial lakes, rocky basalt pinnacles, stunted forests of subalpine fir and a cliff-top view to knock your socks off. A better hike for little ones or the grandparents in town is Little Three Creek Lake. The trailhead is just before the Driftwood campground on the gravel road on the north end of the lake, and the hike is about three miles round trip. It’s lovely, flat and offers views of Tam McArthur Rim and the smaller Little Three Creek Lake itself. Directions: Drive 21 miles northwest to Sisters, and then another 17 south to Three Creek Lake.

Cleaning up Bend, below and above the surface By Jim Anderson 71 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 26 / June 29, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

end’s human population is growing; some say in an out-of-control fashion. But back in September of 1951 when I rolled into Bend on my Harley, there were only 11,409 people living in Bend (thank you, library), while today there are over 80,000! I’ll bet, out of all those people, only a tiny handful know that the earth is somewhat hollow beneath their houses perched on the surface of lava. Yes, lava—mostly basaltic pahoehoe that flowed from our local volcanic vents. According to the investigations carried out by Matt Skeels of the Oregon High Desert Grotto into the geology of the Bend area, during the time period known as the Upper Pleistocene, about 11,000 years ago, Newberry Volcano—our very own National Monument located just south of Bend—was a very active feature on the landscape. There are many, many lava buttes and caves all around us that provide spectacular evidence of its past active nature. Lava Top Butte, which sits on Newberry lava, just across Highway 97 from Lava Butte with its Forest Service fire lookout on the summit, was a very active volcano. If you visit the butte in summer, stick around after dark and you’ll hear the tooting cry of flammulated owls that live in woodpecker holes of dead trees. They spend winters in Panama, but come back to the Northwest in summer to lay eggs, raise babies and eat crickets. They’re among the insect-eating owls, pigging out on moths and nocturnal beetles, thereby competing with migrating and hungry hoary and big brown bats that also spend summer in our neck of the woods.

as iceboxes. Broken beer bottles and tons of plastic and other “junk” left in the caves by today’s visitors has been cleaned out by people who do not enjoy seeing garbage laying around, like members of the Oregon High Desert Grotto. The garbage left behind in the way back time by Native people are today’s archeological treasures, but the same can’t be said for what is left in and around the caves today. Someone has to collect it and place it where it belongs, and the members of OHDG are good

When official signs were posted asking them to remove the hardware—and not install any more— the signs were not only torn down and destroyed, but also defecated on. Not presently known in popular circles, the impact of the many Lava Top Butte basaltic eruptions—most of them pahoehoe flows—has had a profound impact on the Bend landscape, giving us Charcoal Cave No.1, Hidden Forest Cave, Crossbill Cave, Neighboring Cave, Arnold Ice Cave, Young’s Cave, Stepladder Cave and others nearby. Lava Top Butte is also the source of many of the lava caves (“tubes,” really) that are, literally, under the homes, highways, and playgrounds of Bend. While today we have built our homes over the caves, back when the first Native people came through the Bend area, they lived IN the caves. Like people of today, early Bend pioneers also left their garbage laying around—especially the caves they used

at it. Eighteen of the more stalwart OHDG members—including a lot of kids—recently took on a cleanup of Young’s Cave, part of what cavers and geologists who play and work on lava formations call the Arnold Lava Tube System. OHDG member Eddy Cartaya organized three groups to start in different sections of the cave, which by past standards, wasn’t in terribly bad shape. Brent’s photograph above shows the whole group just before exiting the cave with their bags of litter, including glass, metal, wood, plastic, etc. While in the cave, two grotto members, Aspen and Bryce Marchington, slithered through what’s called “The Rasp” and videoed a section of cave most of

the group will never see. OHDG Chairman Brent McGregor says it’s a very tight crawl that regular-sized cavers won’t fit through—unless they break a rib or two— around 7.5 inches high but only lasting a foot or two before opening up into walking passage for a few hundred feet. Because of the light litter load, the cleanup crew had time to jump into Stepladder Cave to clean it as well. Not a lot of trash there, either, said leader McGregor. Besides cleaning the caves, and because of their love of the underground, this also was an opportunity for the members to get prepared for the National Cave Rescue Commission training which will be in Bend this summer under the leadership of Cartaya. That same lava tube system has left many homes in Bend with built-in basements. According to long-time OHDG member, Charlie Larson, there are several older homes erected on the thin ceiling of a lava tube where the original owners knocked a hole in the surface and built a staircase into the cave. In many instances, that little addition created a very unique opportunity for underground recreation off the usual urban route. Larson’s cave guide has stories in it about some Bend residents holding dances in caves under their houses. With that 80,000 human population staring Central Oregonians in the face, it seems like the time has come to take a serious look at all the recreation and natural features of the area. This should probably begin with a very close look at what expanding the Urban Growth Boundary might do to our unique lava

lands and underground features. Members of OHDG and other residents of Central Oregon are very concerned that sites for new homes close to—or directly on top of—underground features created by the ancient lava flows from Newberry may be overstepping the UGB. Providing people with their own private entrance (and possible personal dumping ground) into the public’s caving recreation systems just doesn’t seem like a good idea. Unfortunately, lava tubes have been recognized and used for all too many types of recreation that deface the natural features. The worst case situation was found in Hidden Forest Cave, very near Bend. The area wasn’t used as a garbage dump, but rock climbers placed several climbing bolts on the sides of the cave. When official signs were posted asking them to remove the hardware—and not to install any more—the signs were not only torn down and destroyed, but also defecated on… Considering these events, it would seem like a good idea to breathe life back into the now-defunct Central Oregon Conservation Task Force to help prevent such untidy things from happening again. On July 22, McGregor, will lead a grotto crew into Crossbill Cave for another cleanup campaign. If you’re interested in becoming a member of the grotto and/ or going along on the next grotto outing, send McGregor an email at rockies 58@msn.com and he’ll provide the way to do it. SW

s a realtor, I receive considerable information on helping people become homeowners. What has surprised me is how often I hear that many of these programs are underutilized or people find out about them too late. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, access to housing and homeownership counseling can make a big difference in successful home ownership. Many experienced realtors are sensitive to the lack of knowledge with many first-time homebuyers and take time to educate them while preparing timelines within sales transactions, but this still does not alleviate many anxieties and worries first-timers may have and this is where knowledge from

You wish him all the best, which is to say you hope a giant scorpion crawls out of the sand and bites his penis. It’s understandable that you’re feeling overdue for a little emotional fumigation. But consider that there’s an upside to the downer emotions and not just for the dry cleaner who’s about to buy Crete after getting the mascara stains out of all your clothes. Though we tend to see our gloomier emotions — like sadness and anger — as “bad” and the “whoopee!” emotions, like joy and happiness, as “good,” evolutionary psychologist and psychiatrist Randolph Nesse explains that emotions are neither good nor bad; they’re “adaptive.” They’re basically office managers for our behavior, directing us to hop on opportunities and avoid threats through how good or crappy particular things make us feel. As Nesse puts it, “People repeat actions that made them feel happy in the past, and they avoid actions that made them sad.” Nesse believes that sadness may, among other things, be evolution’s version of a timeout. Note that a term psych researchers use to describe sadness is “low mood” (though it would more helpfully be called “low-energy mood”). Sadness, like depression, slows you down; you repair to your couch to boohoo, lick your wounds, and seek comfort from the two men so many women turn to in times of despair, Ben & Jerry. And yes, there’s value in this sort of ice cream-fueled Kleenexapalooza. Being sad is telling you “don’t do that again!” — while giving you the time and emotional space to figure out what exactly you’re supposed to not do. Because your emotions have a job to do, you can’t just tell sadness and anger, “You’re no longer wanted here. Kindly show yourselves out.” They’ll go when you show them that they’re no longer needed, which you do by reprocessing your painful experience into something useful. Unfortunately, there are some challenges to this, because when you’re upset, your emotions and all the things you’re emotional about become a

big tornado of stuff whirling around in your mind “Wizard of Oz”-style. But what do we humans understand really well? Stories. And it turns out, studies on coping with breakups by communications researcher Jody Koenig Kellas find that creating a story about the relationship and the breakup seems to help people adjust better and faster. Essential elements in this seem to be relating your complete story in a “sequential” way (in order), having a narrative that hangs together and makes sense, and illustrating it with examples of things that happened and giving possible reasons for them. The need to mentally organize what happened into a detailed and coherent story pushes you to reflect on and make sense of your experience in ways that less directed thinking does not. What seems especially important for moving on is making meaning out of the situation — turning the ordeal into a learning experience that gives you hope for living more wisely (and less painfully) in the future. Kellas’ results Amy Alkon dovetail with decades of research by psychologist James Pennebaker, who finds that “expressive writing” (similar to what Kellas recommends) speeds people’s recovery from emotional trauma. But say you hate to write. Research by social psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky finds that recording your story (say, with the voice memo app on your phone) also works. You could also just tell the story to a friend or a homeless guy at a bus stop. (Give him a few bucks for lending an ear.) Finally, consider the difference between healthy storytelling, used to find meaning in what you went through so you can move on, and unhealthy “rumination” — obsessively chewing and rechewing bits from your relationship without insight, solutions, or relief. Psychologist Susan Nolen-Hoeksema finds that this builds “a case for hopelessness,” prolonging distress and recovery. A powerful way to unbuild a case for hopelessness is by recognizing that you have some control over what happens to you. You get to this sense through accountability — admitting that you have some responsibility for your present situation (perhaps by ignoring red flags and letting wishful thinking run the show). Sure, blaming someone else probably feels more gratifying in the moment. Unfortunately, this tends to lead to insights with limited utility — such as the revelation that Cheerios, oddly enough, do not actually cheer you up (not even when paired with a lactose-free milk substitute such as Jim Beam).

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When Leos rise above their habit selves and seize the authority to be rigorously authentic, I refer to them as Sun Queens or Sun Kings. When you Cancerians do the same — triumph over your conditioning and become masters of your own destiny — I call you Moon Queens or Moon Kings. In the coming weeks, I suspect that many of you will make big strides towards earning this title. Why? Because you’re on the verge of claiming more of the “soft power,” the potent sensitivity, that enables you to feel at home no matter what you’re doing or where you are on this planet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Feminist pioneer and author Gloria Steinem said, “Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.” Is there such an activity for you, Virgo? If not, now is a favorable time to identify what it is. And if there is indeed such a passionate pursuit, you should do it as much as possible in the coming weeks. You’re primed for a breakthrough in your relationship with this life-giving joy. To evolve to the next phase of its power to inspire you, it needs as much of your love and intelligence as you can spare.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the coming weeks, your relationships with painkillers will be extra sweet and intense. Please note that I’m not talking about ibuprofen or acetaminophen or aspirin. My reference to painkillers is metaphorical. What I’m predicting is that you will have a knack for finding experiences that reduce your suffering. You’ll have a sixth sense about where to go to get the most meaningful kinds of healing and relief. Your intuition will guide you to initiate acts of atonement and forgiveness, which will in turn ameliorate your wounds. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t wait around passively as you fantasize about becoming the “Chosen One” of some person or group or institution. Be your own Chosen One. And don’t wander around aimlessly, biding your time in the hope of eventually being awarded some prize or boon by a prestigious source. Give yourself a prize or boon. Here’s one further piece of advice, Pisces: Don’t postpone your practical and proactive intentions until the mythical “perfect moment” arrives. Create your own perfect moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One of the 21st century’s most entertaining archaeological events was the discovery of King Richard III’s bones. The English monarch died in 1485, but his burial site had long been a mystery. It wasn’t an archaeologist who tracked down his remains, but a screenwriter named Philippa Langley. She did extensive historical research, narrowing down the possibilities to a car park in Leicester. As she wandered around there, she got a psychic impression at one point that she was walking directly over Richard’s grave. Her feeling later turned out to be right. I suspect your near future will have resemblances to her adventure. You’ll have success in a mode that’s not your official area of expertise. Sharp analytical thinking will lead you to the brink, and a less rational twist of intelligence will take you the rest of the way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The tides of destiny are no longer just whispering their message for you. They are shouting. And what they are shouting is that your brave quest must begin soon. There can be no further excuses for postponement. What’s that you say? You don’t have the luxury of embarking on a brave quest? You’re too bogged down in the thousand and one details of managing the day-to-day hubbub? Well, in case you need reminding, the tides of destiny are not in the habit of making things convenient. And if you don’t cooperate willingly, they will ultimately compel you to do so. But now here’s the really good news, Scorpio: The tides of destiny will make available at least one burst of assistance that you can’t imagine right now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In my dream, I used the non-itchy wool of the queen’s special Merino sheep to weave an enchanted blanket for you. I wanted this blanket to be a good luck charm you could use in your crusade to achieve deeper levels of romantic intimacy. In its tapestry I spun scenes depicting the most love-filled events from your past. It was beautiful and perfect. But after I finished it, I had second thoughts about giving it to you. Wasn’t it a mistake to make it so flawless? Shouldn’t it also embody the messier aspects of togetherness? To turn it into a better symbol and therefore a more dynamic talisman, I spilled wine on one corner of it and unraveled some threads in another corner. Now here’s my interpretation of my dream: You’re ready to regard messiness as an essential ingredient in your quest for deeper intimacy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): This is a perfect moment to create a new tradition, Aries. You intuitively know how to turn one of your recent breakthroughs into a good habit that will provide continuity and stability for a long time to come. You can make a permanent upgrade in your life by capitalizing on an accidental discovery you made during a spontaneous episode. It’s time, in other words, to convert the temporary assistance you received into a long-term asset; to use a stroke of luck to foster a lasting pleasure. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Physicist Freeman Dyson told Wired magazine how crucial it is to learn from failures. As an example, he described the invention of the bicycle. “There were thousands of weird models built and tried before they found the one that really worked,” he said. “You could never design a bicycle theoretically. Even now, it’s difficult to understand why a bicycle works. But just by trial and error, we found out how to do it, and the error was essential.” I hope you will keep that in mind, Taurus. It’s the Success-Through-Failure Phase of your astrological cycle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should lease a chauffeured stretch limousine with nine TVs and a hot tub inside. You’d also be smart to accessorize your smooth ride with a $5,000-bottle of Château Le Pin Pomerol Red Bordeaux wine and servings of the Golden Opulence Sundae, which features a topping of 24-karat edible gold and sprinkles of Amedei Porcelana, the most expensive chocolate in the world. If none of that is possible, do the next best thing, which is to mastermind a long-term plan to bring more money into your life. From an astrological perspective, wealth-building activities will be favored in the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may not realize it, but you now have a remarkable power to perform magic tricks. I’m not talking about Houdini-style hocus-pocus. I’m referring to practical wizardry that will enable you to make relatively efficient transformations in your daily life. Here are some of the possibilities: wiggling out of a tight spot without offending anyone; conjuring up a new opportunity for yourself out of thin air; doing well on a test even though you don’t feel prepared for it; converting a seemingly tough twist of fate into a fertile date with destiny. How else would you like to use your magic?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your word of power is “supplication” — the act of asking earnestly and humbly for what you want. When practiced correctly, “supplication” is indeed a sign of potency, not of weakness. It means you are totally united with your desire, feel no guilt or shyness about it, and intend to express it with liberated abandon. Supplication makes you supple, poised to be flexible as you do what’s necessary to get the blessing you yearn for. Being a supplicant also makes you smarter, because it helps you realize that you can’t get what you want on the strength of your willful ego alone. You need grace, luck, and help from sources beyond your control.

A butter churn for the cannabis set

Think making ganja butter has to be a smelly, messy job? Our weed reviewer trys out a device that promises to do away with those annoyances. humboldthead / FLICKR

’ve been making cannabis-infused edibles for friends and patients for 25 years, and it’s always brought me great happiness to hear that they are enjoyed for pleasure and relief from a host of ailments. (Unless they are consumed in greater than recommended doses, in which case it’s a waking nightmare playing at half speed; a paranoia-infused silent scream of death on repeat, but, you know, that’s gonna happen. Did I say only eat half? Yes, I did. And did you eat four instead? Yes, portion control-challenged ‘murican, you did.) The downside of this work is that making cannabis infused oils and butter makes my house smell like I have set fire to a cubic yard of sweaty gym clothes dipped in three-week-old sulfur pellet cat litter. And cleanup is a major drag; time consuming and messy. My cooking process takes days, needs to be minded like a 12-year-old with pyromaniac tendencies, and the straining of gallons of simmering oil and water mixed with a pound or more of cannabis trim is why I have patches on my hands that look like I’m a clumsy steel mill worker with depth perception issues. So I was intrigued when I received the MagicalButter.com machine, which is a true game changer for anyone seeking to make cannabis-infused butter, oils, tinctures and topicals. It’s about the size and shape of a 1-gallon old school coffee percolator, with a stainless steel finish and black-accented handle and top. The top comes off to reveal a mixing blade and digital temperature gauge and sensors. It’s a solidly built machine, with a heft that belies its size. Operating it is so simple a child could do it—but it’s a machine you use to make cannabis-infused products, so I question your decision-making skills if you do let a child do so. You add your

plant material (i.e your pot weed), and cover it completely in the fat of your choice, or glycerin if making tincture. You select your temperature, ranging from “no heat” to 220F, and then select the brewing time of 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours. That’s it. Go live your life for a while because the machine doesn’t need you to do anything until it’s done. At timed intervals, the machine quietly turns on the mixing blade for 30 seconds or so, but aside from that, silently sits doing its thing. You can make between 2 to 5 cups of finished product per cycle—more than enough for most any home cook. I called the 1-800 support number my first time using it, and asked about just how much cannabis I could shove in there. The customer service rep I spoke with said that as long as the “plant material” was fully submerged in liquid of no more than 5 cups, it was up to me. The lid fits tightly enough that unless I was standing next to the device, I couldn’t smell anything. How much did the finished product vary from my normal manner of preparation, consisting of water, fat and cannabis? Because that method washes away much of the chlorophyll and taste of the cannabis, the Magical Butter Machine produced an oil that was darker in color with a more pronounced weed taste. The cookies I made had a darker green coloring to them, and the cannabis taste was more noticable, but by no means unpleasant. I haven’t made a tincture or topical yet, but that’s next on deck. The machine retails for about $180 although I easily found discount codes online. The box states that the warranty is void if purchased through Amazon.com or Ebay, so if you pull the trigger, make sure to buy directly from the website.
