Rural counties are where jobs are needed most—and that includes jobs pumping gas

ull up to a gas station in Oregon and it’s easy to determine whether someone lives in the state or not. If the driver moves to start pumping their own gas, it’s a sure tell that they’re from out of state. Oregonians don’t have to pump their own gas and haven’t done so since 1951. But if you’re in a number of rural Oregon counties, that’s all changing on Jan. 1, 2018.

brought forth in Oregon as a way to prevent spillage, but it’s also long been touted as a way to create jobs. According to an Oregon State University economist, that also adds about 3 to 5 cents per gallon to our fuel costs—but a comparison of Oregon’s rates compared to neighboring states finds the cost differences are negligible, if they exist at all.

On June 6, Gov. Kate Brown signed into law House Bill 2482, allowing for self-service fuel dispensing in low-population counties—including Jefferson, Hood River, Malheur, Union, Wheeler, Harney and several other eastern Oregon counties. Since these are “low-population” counties, the thought was that it was “impractical to staff a retail facility for fueling 24 hours a day,” according to language in the staff measure summary, and that a closed gas station in a rural area could leave drivers stranded and strain Oregon State Police resources. To be clear, however, retail locations that sell goods and services would still be required to staff someone to dispense fuel from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In a county such as Deschutes County, where jobs are, at present, so abundant that many employers already pay well above even the new state minimum wage set for the county, the notion that we might not need to create jobs in this way might make sense. In those more rural parts of the state, however, where some lawmakers continually decry the lack of jobs, this move takes away jobs much needed by a sector of the population who may not otherwise be able to find employment. Additionally, in some towns, the local gas station is one of the only businesses still in operation. And that’s why we find it puzzling that this bill passed with almost no opposition.

Still, these are also the counties that suffer the most when it comes to employment. In December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Jefferson County’s unemployment rate to be 6.6 percent, compared to Deschutes County at 4.4 percent and the city of Bend at 3.2 percent.

In a political climate in which oil and gas and coal companies are suddenly finding themselves not quite as beleaguered as they have been in past years, we find it disheartening to see the Oregon Legislature trend in that direction, too. Since it’s the “poor oil companies” that now get to benefit financially from cutting back on their staffs, we call a fuel foul on this one. SW

Among the many reasons, the notion of full service fueling was

I would love it if the city was more bike friendly, but it’s not. People’s attitudes around here toward bicyclists is one of entitlement. As in, “Roads were made for cars! Get outta the way, pariah!” Add to it, their already horrible driving skills! No thanks, I’d rather not die today. I’ll drive and pay. And that’s not to say that drivers are the only problem. A lot of cyclists don’t follow rules very well either, which unfortunately, propagates that negativity toward them. — Amber Chenault, via facebook.com Great points in the article. Nothing is free and it is reasonable to change the current broken system. — Arden Dettwyler, via facebook.com Here’s the problem: The bus system isn’t an option for anyone who doesn’t work first shift due to its hours and depending on where a person works it might not be safe to walk home in the dark. And, well there’s the fact that this is Central Oregon not California and we have snow, ice and freezing fog. As for cycling, the drivers out here have enough trouble not hitting other vehicles, let alone plowing over a bike. — Carley Smith, via facebook.com Hope they use the money to up the already millions of dollars in pay and bonuses for cities top tier salaries.

IN RESPONSE TO, PORTRAIT OF A PATRIOT (6/28) Patriotism? The devil’s dictionary might define this as the tendency of an ill-informed general public to focus on nostalgia, sentimentality and a proto-nationalism at odds with the reality they face. Here’s a good example. Older readers here might recall that investigative reporter Seymour Hersh broke the news about a U.S. perpetrated war crime during the Vietnam War called the My Lai Massacre. Right wingers declared Hersh to be anti-American and unpatriotic for pointing out our atrocities halfway across the planet. Similarly, Hersh broke the story of the shocking torture occurring at the Abu Ghraib prison during the Iraq War circa 2005. Again, government officials like Dick Cheney and propagandists like the Fox News crowd dismissed Hersh as being unpatriotic for pointing out the illegal behavior of our military and CIA thugs. So what is patriotism? For many it is a convenient way to view America in the same light of the son who defends his mother “Whether drunk or sober”. To this crowd, America can do no wrong. I firmly believe these people to be in error. I believe them to be a malevolent prototype of the sort of warped and selfish nationalism that has infected nations from time to time. We are on that same path with our foreign policy again today. Recently, Sy Hersh has published an investigative report about the purported Syrian government use of Sarin gas in early April this year in northern Syria. Readers may recall that the Trump response was to hurl patriot missiles at a Syrian airbase in retribution. This is typical of America’s response to foreign sovereign nations that we dislike because they don’t toe the line for American corporate interests. So who is the patriot, the uber-American throwing missiles at our competitors? Or the man who points out that this is a war crime? You can guess where I come down on this matter. Hersh’s report on the purported, propagandized and most-likely-fantasy sarin gas attack had one media cheerleader at NBC claiming that hurling missiles made the President finally look like a real man. How pathetic. — Ray Duray, via bendsource.com

IN RESPONSE TO, PARKING STUDY: MORE OF BEND’S RESIDENTS SHOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT A CAR COMMUTE (6/28)

Rep. Greg Walden has repeatedly vowed to make health care more affordable and

accessible for families in Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District. At the same time, Walden has been a key player in secretly crafting the American Health Care Act (AHCA) which the House of Representatives narrowly passed in May. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Walden’s AHCA bill will make health care so expensive that 23 million people will be in jeopardy of losing health care by 2026. 465,000 of those people will be Oregonians. Over the next 10 years, Walden’s AHCA plan will slash $1.1 trillion from Medicaid and the ACA programs. It is sadly ironic that more people have enrolled in the Medicaid Expansion program in Walden’s district than in any other Republican-led district in the U.S. and nearly four out of 10 people living in his district have health care through Medicaid or the ACA marketplace. So, when it comes to health care, Walden’s vows are nothing but a bunch of empty promises and his constituents will be among the biggest healthcare losers in America. These losers include older people, women, children, people with pre-existing conditions and people with disabilities. The biggest winners in Rep. Walden’s plan will be billionaires, private health insurers and pharmaceutical companies. These GOP favorites will be handed $663 billion in tax cuts. Even people with employer-based health insurance will not

be immune to the negative impact of Greg Walden’s AHCA proposal since employers will not be mandated to provide health insurance or could make it so expensive that it will be unaffordable. — Mary Love

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Mary, thank you for dissecting the proposed Senate Health Care Bill, initially brought forth by Rep. Walden. Obamacare has problems — even proponents of the law would agree with that as premiums spike and insurers leave the market. But as the Congressional Budget Office pointed out — the proposed bill doesn’t do nearly enough to solve these issues. As Senators try to scrape together enough votes to pass their health care overhaul and as #45 urges them to focus on repealing first and replacing at a later date, we, too, wonder what Walden will say to his constituents once the fallout occurs and Americans are left, quite possibly, with no system in place.

Expect parking restrictions Wall and Bond streets will see a facelift this week when crews begin repaving. Work will take place nightly from 7:30pm to 9am. Parking will be restricted in the downtown core after 6:30pm. The project includes grinding out old pavement, repaving and then striping the roads. “Night work will be less disruptive than day work for businesses and people who visit downtown,” said Paul Neiswonger, City of Bend streets supervisor Construction will begin on Bond Street just south of Greenwood Avenue and progress north to Wall Street. Repaving will pause over the weekend during the Bank of Cascades Bend Summer Festival from Friday and will resume Sunday, July 9. “We understand there is no convenient time to perform road maintenance and prohibit parking downtown, but paving in the summer is necessary and working at night is an attempt to minimize the inconveniences,” said Neiswonger. “We are working around a busy summer schedule of festivals and events and getting the work done between major events.” Detours will be marked during construction with drivers asked to follow designated detour routes and use caution in the downtown area to protect the safety of construction workers and pedestrians in the area. Sidewalks will be open when adjacent vehicle lanes are under construction. If the City has to relocate cars that are not moved according to parking restrictions, drivers can retrieve their towed vehicles at the Troy Field parking lot. The City will finish road work downtown before the Cascade Cycling Classic starts on July 19.

Road Fatalities Rise During Summer Months in Central Oregon, Bend PD Responds With thousands of Central Oregonians traveling this past holiday season, Oregon State Police report an increase of vehicle-related crashes and fatalities throughout the month of June. Twenty-seven fatalities were reported on Oregon roads, with 50 percent of those occurring in Central and Eastern Oregon. At least four of the crashes included a head-on collision on a

two-lane highway. Alcohol, texting and fatigue were contributing factors, according to the report. With an increase of vacationers on the roads, in the summer Sgt. Yvette Shepherd of the Oregon State Police told the Oregonian that, “More vehicles are on the road this time of year and the July Fourth holiday tends to see a lot of crashes.” AAA projects 44.2 million Americans will travel 50 percent more miles away from home during the Independence Day week of celebrations. “This is the highest travel volume for the holiday on record. It adds up to 1.25 million more travelers than last year and an increase of 2.9 percent over 2016.” ODOT, Central Oregon law enforcement agencies, including Bend Police, Redmond Police, Black Butte Police, Oregon State Police and Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office will be conducting an enhanced patrol on Highway 97 near Lava Butte due to the “Dramatic increase in crashes in the region,” according to the Bend Police Department. “ There will be focus on speed and distracted driving...Our goal is to make traveling on Central Oregon highways safer.”

Rainbow Gathering Sees Thousands of Attendees, One Man Dies The Rainbow Gathering taking place between July 1-7 in the Malheur Wildlife Reserve has seen thousands of visitors congregating in the area for the annual counterculture peace gathering. A reported 20,000-30,000 are expected to attend during the weeklong festivities. On Sunday, July 2, an unidentified man collapsed and was taken to a makeshift medical area. Life-saving efforts were undertaken by an emergency room doctor who was attending the festival for 15-20 minutes, according to the Grants County Sheriff ’s office. Medical treatment was unsuccessful and the unidentified man was pronounced ded. Efforts to identify the man are being undertaken by the Oregon State Police Identification Bureau. The Rainbow Gathering began in 1972 and takes place each year in a different national forest. This year, the gathering is being heavily monitored by country sheriffs and the forest service. SW

NEWS

Real I.D. Moving Forward

With the adjournment of the state legislature scheduled for July 10, lawmakers are in a flurry to finish up the work of the session.

regon is closing in on approving legislation which would effectively authorize the Department of Transportation to fully comply with the requirements of the federal Real ID Act of 2005 when issuing Oregon driver licenses, driver permits and Oregon identification cards. Oregon Senate Bill 374 (SB 374), has passed the Senate by a 28-2 vote and is currently in the House of Representatives awaiting further action, referred back to the Joint Ways and Means Committee by that body. In a conversation with Central Oregon’s Representative, Gene Whisnant, who sits on the Ways and Means Committee, he indicated he is not aware of any major opposition to the bill in the House. He further indicated bills were being assigned to Ways and Means in great numbers and that they were working through them non-stop. He told us he’s hopeful this bill would be worked and passed out of Ways and Means and back to the House for passage before adjournment.

If Oregon is deemed non-compliant, the Transportation Safety Administration, will stop accepting Oregon IDs for boarding planes. Adjournment of the Legislature is scheduled for July 10, so the question is: will the bill make it through and become law—and second, why does it matter? A step back in time provides some context. In 2005, four years after 9-11, Congress passed the Real ID Act aimed largely at bringing some uniformity to the one process each state utilizes to provide identification for its residents—driver licenses and identification cards. The federal law was enacted rather hurriedly, and imposed heavy requirements for compliance with this new law. The intent was to obtain compliance by all states and territories within three years. However, the process became complicated and extensions were granted to states over the succeeding years, including Oregon. The Department of Homeland Security implemented a schedule of enforcement in 2013, with Oct. 1, 2020, being the final date of implementation. Initially, Oregon moved toward compliance with the passage of legislation in 2008 requiring proof of citizenship or legal presence in the U.S., as well as providing a Social Security number or proof of ineligibility for a Social Security number, to establish eligibility for an Oregon driver license,

driver permit or identification card. Prior to this, proof of residency was the primary requirement. During the 2009 session, the Oregon Legislature put a halt to further efforts to come into compliance with the federal Real ID Act until sufficient federal funds were allocated to cover the estimated costs of further compliance, as well as state implementation of security measures to protect the privacy of personal information used to prove eligibility. Now, Oregon is poised to set in motion full compliance with this federal law. Compliance is not required— however, there are consequences for a state's residents if a state is non-compliant. Essentially, those residents will no longer be able to use their state identification for federal identity purposes. This comes into play when trying to access a secure federal facility such as a federal courthouse, military base or nuclear plant, and more importantly to the ordinary person, when trying to board a domestic commercial flight. If Oregon is deemed non-compliant, the Transportation Safety Administration, will stop accepting Oregon IDs for boarding planes. Oregon has had three extensions for coming into compliance—the current one, with a grace period, ended July 10, 2010, with the result being that beginning Jan. 22, 2018, Oregon IDs will no longer be accepted for federal identity purposes. This could wreak havoc at airports in Oregon as Oregonians attempt to board flights. The hope is that DHS will allow a further extension with passage of SB 374. There has been consistent opposition to compliance with Real ID for years, beyond the financial burden, which at this point is estimated

REAL

at $579,023. There have been concerns with privacy issues, including sharing information and data gathered in obtaining a Real ID. There is also concern that this is a march to a National ID. And there are the concerns with the burdens the process places on Oregon’s residents. Proponents point out that SB 374 specifically addresses issues of privacy and security. They also point out that the bill presents an option, not a mandate—a person can opt to obtain a non-Real ID compliant license or ID as provided under current law. Local immigration attorney Dan Larsson pointed out that Oregon already tightened the rules for a license or ID back in 2008, adding that other provisions of Real ID may create issues for some, such as certain identity verification documents. He also pointed to the existence of optional documents for addressing federal identity purposes, such as a passport or one of the numerous documents meeting TSA identification requirements. Interestingly, on the issue of creating a National ID, attorney Larsson pointed out that this would create uniformity in many arenas where identification is required for a variety of reasons from security to employment. The bottom line is that if passed, SB 374 will move Oregon toward the option of providing Real ID to the residents of the state—good, bad or otherwise.

Outside magazine just ranked Bend the #1 multisport city in the U.S. Do you think this is a positive thing for Bend? Why or why not? Nick Ahnen Number one? Really? It’s positive in some ways but negative in others. I think Bend has been on the list for quite a few years now and now we are starting to see an influx of people from all over the place and I’m not sure if little Bend can handle the attention it’s getting.

Michael LaTorre I do think it’s a positive thing for Bend. It reinforces what a lot of people already love about Bend.

Denise Anderson No — because we’re getting too crowded and I’ve watched it change and there are too many people. We do not have a planning department, we just have people that are in the city offices that have no degree in urban planning and the infrastructure of the city shows it. Our traffic is terrible, the roads are crowded. Before we try to attract more businesses and more people, we need to deal with the problems we have right here.

Kristen Downes Yes I do. It’s great here, it’s wonderful here. Everyone should come and check it out.

I live in Crooked River Ranch. I think it’s a positive thing for Bend because it will get more people active and realize and hopefully appreciate what indeed they have here and the multiple opportunities they have to stay fit and be healthy. There’s plenty enough food, what we need to do now is find a better way to expend those calories and be healthy, not only physically but emotionally and mentally.

Sarah Scholten I don’t really think it’s good or bad. People getting exercise is always a good thing, but I’m not sure it’s the number one place in the country for multisports. There are other places like Boulder but I think it’s up there in the top 10 maybe. It will draw people here for sure, it already has.

Alisha Vernon Depends who you ask. It’s positive for people moving here but negative for housing issues. I’m indifferent.

Elizabeth Oshel I do think it’s great. We have so much to do here, it’s really a fun place to be. I think Bend is both a city for all the people who live here who like to do all of those outside things and a city for people to come visit and do all of those things.

Nikolay Allen I’m just visiting from Grand Rapids, Michigan. My dad, back when he was in show business, came here to do operas and he just fell in love with it. When my parents divorced he decided to move here and then I fell in love with Bend. I think it’s a great thing because this city is all about sports, so I think it’s great.

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 27 / July 6, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Mickey Virtue, Ali Campbell and Astro lead the "real" UB40 that hits the Athletic Club of Bend July 11.

li Campbell, Mickey Virtue and Astro are hardly the only musicians to have had to try to continue a music career while trying to lay claim to a famous band name. They currently tour and record under the name UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Mickey & Astro – a move necessitated by the presence of another version of UB40 that also includes several members of the long-running British reggae-pop band. It’s a similar situation to one that occurred several years ago when Queensryche jettisoned its longtime lead singer Geoff Tate and saw the vocalist start up his own version of the band and begin touring using the Queensryche name. A lawsuit was filed and the two sides eventually settled, with Tate agreeing to give up his claim to the Queensryche name. Great White has faced a similar scenario, as do a number of 1960s acts that have more than one version of the band on tour. The question over which unit should have the rights to the UB40 name is following a similar path, with a lawsuit pending to answer the question of ownership of the band name. Regardless of how the cards eventually fall, to vocalist/trumpeter Astro there’s no disputing his band is the “real” UB40. He has some facts on his side, beginning with personnel. Campbell, who left UB40 in 2008, was the group’s singer and main songwriter, and it’s his voice that’s heard on such

chart-topping hits as “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You,” as well as some 45-plus other charting singles in the United Kingdom. (The list is far shorter in the states, but the band also gained considerable popularity here). As the other main vocalist (his toasting raps complement Campbell’s singing) and a significant contributor to the band’s lyrics, Astro (real name Terence Wilson) has long been one of UB40’s other most recognizable members, while keyboardist Virtue has long been viewed as another cornerstone of the original UB40. Still, the other UB40 has five original members – bassist Earl Falconer, drummer Jimmy Brown, percussionist Norman Hassan, sax player Brian Travers and guitarist (and Campbell’s brother), Robin Campbell. The new lead singer is another Campbell brother, Duncan, which has not gone over well with Ali Campbell. Concert numbers also have swung decidedly in favor of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Mickey & Astro. This version of the group has been filling arenas in the U.K. and playing large venues in other countries—including a show in Bend at the Athletic Club next Tuesday. Astro said the other UB40 has been touring mostly in England, where its shows are in much smaller venues – an assertion that is partially supported by that group’s current itinerary, which includes a mix of festival, arena and

theater-level dates in England, Australia and Europe. “I think the fans are making it quite clear who they want to go see,” Astro said. “And a lot of these people want to see the original artists, the original singers of the songs. “To be frank, I think they’re not the band that we used to be anyway and I think they’re doing the legacy a disservice, and we’re trying to preserve that by giving people exactly what they want,” he said. That last statement points to another argument Astro makes in favor of UB40. And he has some firsthand perspective on the music because he remained in the “other” UB40 until 2013, when he joined forces with Ali Campbell and Virtue to start their version of the group. Astro said he stayed in the other group out of loyalty and because he, Travers, Brown and Hassan in the wake of the split with Ali Campbell, had gotten into serious financial troubles—they were declared bankrupt in 2011—and Astro wanted to help everyone get back on solid footing. But music eventually prompted Astro’s departure – in particular, the group’s 2013 album, “Getting Over the Storm,” which he felt awkwardly mixed reggae and country music. “I couldn’t see myself standing on stage promoting a country album,” he said. He has no such problems taking the stage with Ali Campbell, Virtue or the

other eight musicians who make up the touring lineup of his current band. “We sound fantastic. That’s the only way I can put it,” Astro said. “It’s great. Everybody on the stage are accomplished musicians in their own right, and the beautiful thing about being with these guys is there are no egos to contend with. Everybody just knows their thing. And we just get up there and we enjoy ourselves. We’re just having so much fun now. It’s a pleasure to walk on stage everyday.” As for the show itself, Astro said it will span the group’s career – right up to “Silhouette,” the 2014 studio album that was released as an Ali Campbell CD, with Virtue and Astro as special guests. “We’re going to try to cram as many of our classic hits in as possible in a two-hour show,” he said. “We do have a current album out at the moment named ‘Silhouette.’ So we will be including a couple of tracks from that. And then on top of that, then there will be some of our own personal favorites, which I’m pretty sure are going to be other peoples’ favorites as well. There’s going to be something for everybody.” SW

B.o.B. no longer bows down to a major label.

obby Ray Simmons Jr., professionally known as B.o.B., has had an interesting career thus far. The 28-year-old rapper dropped out of high school in the ninth grade, selling his first beat that same year. Though his first studio album, “The Adventures of Bobby Ray,” didn’t debut until 2010, the rapper has been garnering attention since 2007 with a number of popular mixtapes and singles. For his most recent album, “Ether,” B.o.B. parted ways with Atlantic Records, opting to release the joint independently on his own label, Label No Genre.

“But the thing is, even if you tell me I can’t do it, I’m still going to do it. There’s not as many people —B.o.B. saying what I can’t do.” “The transition isn’t that different. I think it’s just people telling me what I can and cannot do,” B.o.B. says of moving from a major label to his own. “But the thing is, even if you tell me I can’t do it, I’m still going to do it. There’s not as many people saying what I can’t do.” “Ether” comes as the fifth installment in B.o.B.’s Elements series, which dates back to 2015. Between studio albums, B.o.B. released mixtapes named “WATER,” “FIRE,” “EARTH” and “AIR.” Each is an acronym; for example, “AIR” is “Art Imitates Reality.” Songs from the mixtapes converged on a compilation album titled, “Elements.” In announcing his next album, B.o.B. took to Twitter and raised the question, “Isn’t there a fifth element?”

Ether refers to the etheric realm in which all matter and all energy move through. In Eastern tradition, it’s unseen energy. “I feel like ‘Ether’ is showing people a more raw side of my lyrics,” B.o.B. says. “You get that on a mixtape, but never on an album. It’s a beautiful thing for me to be so candid and open without any pushback.” A lot of the lyrical content on “Ether” focuses on events that happened before 2015, as well as events that happened “when the world started turning upside down,” as he puts it. Recording started around the same time #45 campaigned for the presidency. The time frame for writing “Ether” provided different perspectives, allowing the content of his songs to take on both personal and world views. When it came to releasing his fourth studio album, B.o.B. didn’t notice a big difference in moving from a major label, Atlantic, to his own independent label. It’s no surprise considering his position in the industry and the relationships he’s built. “I’m actually working with some of the same people who no longer work at the label,” B.o.B. says. “It’s familiar territory. That’s the beauty about the industry and the beauty about life. It’s all about the relationships. When you build relationships, nothing can break them.” SW B.o.B., The Elements Tour Thurs., July 6. 8pm. Midtown Ballroom 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend. $27-$99.

end Roots Revival has always been one of my favorite annual Bend music events, featuring a wide breadth of local musicians. Back in 2010, I saw JoAnna Lee under a blue tent to the right of the main stage, an oriental-style rug beneath her feet and a black and tan tapestry behind her. This all came back to me thanks to my iPhoto library, but her performance always stuck out in my memory. Lee has powerful, yet sweet and demure vocals reminiscent of Colbie Caillat. Her approachable demeanor and relatable storytelling lay the foundation for a rising pop star. Lee blends pop with folk, R&B and rock to create universally-appealing songs destined for continuous play on Top 40 radio. And her performance at Bend Roots impressed more than just local music lovers. A man by the name of Darrell Santos, visiting Bend for a golf tournament, reached out to Lee after her performance and told her to get in touch with a producer he knew who had helped other artists. The producer, Paul Brown, heard Lee’s demos on her MySpace page, contacted her and flew her out to L.A. to record a proper demo. Shortly after connecting with Brown, Lee decided to leave Bend and move to Austin. “Moving to Austin was my way of me gaining independence and freedom and to prove to myself that any vision I have I can make a reality,” Lee says. “It took a little time to get adjusted, and I almost wanted to give up a few times and come home. Austin is saturated with many musicians, but with focus and dedication I was able to find my place in the scene.” While in Austin, Lee worked hard to entertain on stage with just herself and her guitar. Once she was given

the chance to perform at certain venues and events, she found she instantly made fans, which helped her keep going. Eventually, Lee signed to Cutmore Records and starting recording her debut album, “So Free.” “Most of the recordings I did previously were very raw and acoustic and recorded on something like Garageband,” Lee recalls. “To be able to finally be in a legitimate professional studio and to be able to record my music with a bunch of incredible musicians was one of the best experiences I’ve had.” All of Lee’s songs stem from personal relationships; emotions she’s felt in her heart. “When you’re growing up, the relationships you have can really help build who you are,” Lee says. “I chose these songs for the album, because I feel as though, it’s not only a proper introduction, but also a reflection on who I am and where I have been.” Lee’s performance at Munch and Music on July 6 marks her return to Bend before promotion for “So Free” kicks into high gear. She’ll debut her first single, “The Real Thing,” in London at the end of July and then has a few shows booked in Dubai in December. “I look forward to seeing all the familiar faces, and to sharing with one of the cities I love most what I have been working hard on for the past few years,” Lee says. “I have had so much support from all my family, friends and fans here in Oregon, it’s going to feel nice to finally give something back.” SW JoAnna Lee, Arrival From Sweden at Munch and Music Thurs., July 6. 5:30pm.

advantage in having a place up here which is essentially what those horses grew up with. This place mirrors very much the kind of forest and terrain they would have had in the wild.” Water is another reason. “It’s unbelievable in terms of the amount of water on the ranch. We have a creek running through, and a number of lakes. That was just an enormous asset—and then the beauty of Central Oregon.” So now that she has found her Oregon oasis, the hard work begins. Turns out not everyone finds this rescue effort to be such a high priority. Many argue that the horses degrade the land and rob livestock of forage. “Everything that makes money on public lands is little by little encroaching on the lands where the horses are federally protected, and that they’re legally entitled to,” says Staples-Read. “But sadly, those little parcels are getting smaller and smaller and there are just more and more roundups, because from the cattle ranchers’ point of view, they’re eating forage that their cows could be eating. “A lot of horses we rescue come out of “kill pens,” or come from auctions where they’re being bid on by “kill buyers,” or they come from abuse, neglect or starvation,” says Staples-Read. (These horses are often just hours away from being shipped to slaughter in either Mexico or Canada.) “They’re usually in a pretty bad way when they get here. It’s amazing what a lot of love and care and good food will do to a horse.” It works both ways. Spending time around these animals quickly makes one realize they have incredible healing powers for us as well. “They’ve often been through such bad torment themselves and

come out of it,” she says. “So aside from trying to save the animals, I could see how much they were saving me in return, and other people too.” Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer. The federal Bureau of Land Management is in charge of protecting and managing the mustangs. “There are 50,000 horses in government holding and that’s not sustainable,” she says. “And now they think the solution to that is euthanizing thousands and thousands of horses that they’ve stockpiled. They should have found a better solution years ago. “There has to be change in the way the BLM is managing these horses. It hasn’t been working for a long time. No one said the solution is easy. I’m just doing my part in it. The one thing I can do is hopefully use the horses here as ambassadors for all those horses.” Closer to Los Angeles, celebrities have joined the cause. Stars like Jane Seymour, Gerard Butler and Rachel Hunter donate

their time and effort. Here, Staples-Read is planning to officially celebrate Skydog’s Prineville opening with a free afternoon event later this month, complete with hay rides and food trucks. It’s a rare chance to get a hands-on look at the nearly 60 horses and other animals currently at the ranch—which is also seeking additional volunteers and sponsors, while encouraging healthy adoptions. “A lot of people don’t know we’re here,” she says. “We just would love people to come out and get involved and meet the people that work out here and meet the horses. We’re not really set up for public visits all the time. “Everyone here has been so kind to us. We want to give something back.” SW

By Tom Beans, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe Every once in awhile a book comes along to join the canon of its genre. In the pantheon of conservation literature, books like Aldo Leopold’s, “Sand County Almanac” and Annie Dillard’s, “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” have long been held up as shining examples. So I’ll be forever grateful to Lee Spencer for adding another title to that esteemed list: his new book, “A Temporary Refuge.” If you’ve seen the 2014 documentary, “DamNation,” you might be familiar with Spencer — the man who for the last 14 years — has spent May through November carefully watching over a holding pool of wild summer steelhead on a tributary of Oregon’s North Umpqua River. Culled from his journals, we’re treated to a fascinating month-by-month study of these steelhead along with keen observations of

the weather, birds, trees, insects and mammals that make up this vibrant ecosystem. His is the kind of knowledge that can only be acquired through years of extensive field study. That he conveys it in language so elegant and dignified makes this a book to treasure and pass on to everyone you know. Famed Oregon author David James Duncan calls it, “An incandescent work of natural history, an Oregon cultural treasure and a sanctuary for aching hearts in a dark time.” Spencer is a modern-day Thoreau and the North Umpqua is his Walden. If you know where the pool is (he won’t tell you), go pay your quiet respects. If not, it should be enough to know that Lee and the fish he watches over are still there, each participating in their own quiet dance. SW

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 27 / July 6, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

orty-seven miles east of Bend, alongside a stream with the storybook name of Little Bear Creek, America’s mythical wild horses have come to heal. Mustangs. They’re the lucky ones—safe here, and no longer running scared. Once, there were two million spread across America. Only a small percentage remain. That’s because today these horses spark controversy, especially on public lands where they compete for forage with vastly more profitable livestock. Cows outnumber mustangs by at least 30 to 1. Seemingly endless opinions swirl on just what to do about it. One of those opinions comes from Clare Staples-Read, a very determined English woman who recently arrived in Central Oregon, by way of Southern California, to rescue as many mustangs as she can. Despite growing up an ocean away, Staples-Read managed to fall in love with both horses and the American West— mostly by watching classic TV shows including “Little House on the Prairie” and “Bonanza.” Later, after settling in Los Angeles, Staples-Read began to research the thorny issue of where all of America’s wild horses have gone. Armed with this information, and by that point, also a history of rescuing horses on her own, she decided to take definitive action. She started a mustang sanctuary known as Skydog Ranch—first in the Malibu area just up the L.A. coast— and now at a second location on 9,000 acres in Prineville. Why come all this way? “We have tried to focus quite a lot on saving Oregon mustangs,” says Staples-Read. “So, there was a certain

Dr. John Letovsky By Richard Sitts

hen Dr. John Letovsky goes to work, he says it’s like “Christmas every day.” Letovsky, who previously had a private practice in Eugene, is about a month into his new position as the medical director for Bend’s Volunteers in Medicine Clinic of the Cascades—but it was during his time in private practice that he became aware of VIM’s mission of taking care of the uninsured. “It was always in the back of my mind, and when this opportunity opened up, I was very interested. So it feels really good to be in a position where I can give back to the community.” Volunteers in Medicine provides health care—on a donation basis—for working adults who can’t afford medical insurance. VIM’s patients range from 18 to 64, the majority of whom have one or more chronic conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol or mental health issues, according to the VIM website. VIM is a nonprofit funded by donations and grants, and receives no state or federal funding. One of his main duties, Letovsky says, “is to help bridge the gap between patient visits—the continuity from visit to visit, overseeing clinical quality and everything medical. The population that we currently serve, we’re their only option for health care. We’re their only safety net, and they are so grateful. The gratitude we get from our patients—it’s very rewarding.” The Bend clinic serves about 1,000 patients, 80 percent of whom are

Hispanic, says Stacey Durden, VIM’s development director and communications manager. The other 20 percent of VIM patients are those who fall through the cracks in American health care. Many clients are raising families and working two or three jobs but are still not able to afford health care. Still, many clients make what donations they can, while others offer their services, such as doing landscaping outside the building or even cleaning the windows, Durden says. Typical patients are childcare workers, painters, landscapers and others who work in construction and restaurants. The Bend clinic is staffed by about 290 active volunteers and 10 staff members. Letovsky makes it clear that VIM could not fulfill its mission on its own. “We have a very generous medical community that provides care at reduced cost or foots the bill for lab work. A lot of different specialists come here and volunteer their services,” he adds, citing St. Charles and Bend Memorial Clinic. “It’s very collegial and there’s a lot of sharing of knowledge and learning that takes place,” Letovsky says. “We couldn’t do what we do without the generous support of providers, donors and volunteers.” From schedulers to clerical workers to nurses, interpreters and pharmacists, VIM can always use more volunteers. “There’s a lot of opportunities to do anything, and we welcome them,” Letovsky

“This is a job like no other. Working not with an employed staff, but a volunteer staff, it’s got a whole different dynamic. Everyone is here because they want to be.” —DR. JOHN LETOVSKY

says. Experience can be a bonus but is not required. “It’s a fun place to work. It’s hard work, no doubt about it, but it’s fun.” And as an afterthought, he adds, “This is a job like no other. Working not with an employed staff, but a volunteer staff, it’s got a whole different dynamic. Everyone is here because they want to be.” On a recent Wednesday—a day when the clinic is usually closed, staff members hosted a group of middle and high school students from Madras who are part of Juntos, an after-school program that prepares Latino students for college. Staff set up about five stations from which the students learned about different aspects of health care. Letovsky led a session on the heart and how it works clearly in his element as he asked students questions and piqued their curiosity. His prop was an actual cow heart, about the size of a large pot roast. He first asked the students, mostly girls on this day, if they wanted to see it. Any initial repulsion quickly evolved into fascination as Letovsky explained its parts and how they worked, just like those of a human heart. He says the work he does is “tremendously satisfying. Patients’ care, to me and to this clinic, is a huge responsibility

and a tremendous honor. It’s Christmas every day.” When VIM began in 2004, there were about 25,000 uninsured people in Deschutes County, according to communications manager Durden. Before the Affordable Care Act, the VIM Bend clinic had about 2,500 patients. That number decreased to the current 1,000 or so because others were able to afford their own insurance. But Letovsky points out that everything changes in health care. “Things don’t look so good,” he says of the current outlook for maintaining accessible care. Letovsky is originally from Nebraska, but has lived in the Northwest for the past 20 years. Previously, he worked and lived in Colorado and New York City. He and his wife, Diane, bought a house in Sunriver over a decade ago, living there full time since September. He says they enjoy doing everything that Central Oregon has to offer; hiking, biking, Nordic and alpine skiing, paddling, playing tennis and even “trying” to play golf. SW

A Fundraiser for BendFilm Festival Founder Battling Cancer

"Help Katie conquer cancer."

S P O

Katie Merritt, who created the wildly successful BendFilm Festival in 2004, has begun treatment for breast cancer. It’s an unusually aggressive form of the disease which demands an equally strong therapeutic response. Doctors began chemo in late May; it’s scheduled to last all summer and into the fall. Merritt, 51, then faces a double mastectomy and radiation therapy. Her older sister Martha, along with longtime friend Molly Kreuzman, started a GoFundMe campaign to raise an estimated $75,000 for both living and

medical expenses. Donations will go directly toward paying monthly bills as well as things like groceries, childcare and prescriptions. Merritt, who has a nineyear-old son, will likely have to suspend her real estate career for at least a year. Merritt has no shortage of fans and supporters in Bend. “She’s endearingly irreverent,” says Kreuzman. “She speaks her mind, and even when she’s saying things you don’t necessarily want to hear, she says them with such a tongue in cheek twinkle in her eye that you still listen. That’s part of how BendFilm Festival became so successful. She convinced everyone.” Kreuzman adds that one of Merritt’s

best qualities, besides the fact that she’s helped so many filmmakers get started, is how she treats everyone equally. “The paperboy is as important as the mayor,” she says. “It’s becoming more and more of a rare quality [in people]. It’s something that I really cherish about her as well. She doesn’t care what you have. She cares who you are.” The online effort is entitled “Help Katie Conquer Cancer!” The website will post regular updates on her progress. SW

Chef George Morris wins Bite of Bend culinary title By Lisa Sipe

Pure Joy Kitchen Opens Plant-Based Cafe

We caught up with two of the judges from the final octopus round and asked them why they thought Morris won. (Full disclosure: I was also a judge, in the semifinal round.) Wine expert Lance Steffan said, “George won because he exhibited creativity with the ingredients and the situation. With temps hovering around 100 degrees he decided to make two cold dishes with the octopus, integrating two different cuisines, but still being the focus of the dishes. His Latin-inspired appetizer with marinated sea scallop and his Asian cold noodle soup showcased both the flavor and texture of the octopus but also the way that it melded with the diverse ingredients.” It’s no surprise fellow judge Chef T. R. McCrystal, had similar feelings.

Most steakhouses find one ranch to feature on their menu, but to find the best-tasting cuts of meat for Bos Taurus, Morris cooked 60 steaks from 13 ranches around the world. “In my opinion, George’s dishes both reflected a balance between flavor, appearance and texture; that and his utilization of the secret ingredient, octopus, made him the clear winner and deserving of the title of Top Chef.” So who is he? Morris hails from Chicago and is a graduate from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, N.Y.. Early in his career he worked at urban restaurants across the country, but decided to escape city life and make his mark in relaxed mountain towns. Before moving to Bend, he was the executive chef at the award-winning Madeline Hotel and Residences in Aspen, where he oversaw all culinary operations. He

Most steakhouses find one ranch to feature on their menu, but to find the best-tasting cuts of meat for Bos Taurus, Morris cooked 60 steaks from 13 ranches around the world. Today you can eat a New York strip from Fulton Provisions in Portland, Ore., or dine on Wagyu—the most expensive beef in the world, from Japan. If you’ve never tried Wagyu, it has a sublime meltin-your-mouth texture, coming from the intense fat marbling of genetically predisposed Japanese breeds of cattle. When we asked him what his

dream secret ingredient would be, he had a hard time coming up with an answer—probably because he works with dreamy ingredients every day. But his worst secret ingredient? He didn’t hesitate in saying, “I would not have wanted to see green bell peppers, ‘cause I think they are the devil. It’s one of the only ingredients I don’t like.” What does the win mean? As soon as Morris got the Top Chef Bend trophy, it went in the window at Bos Taurus. We asked Morris what this win means for him and he said, “It means being a part of the community and making the Bos Taurus team proud of where they work.” It also means Morris will compete again, representing Central Oregon in Top Chef Oregon. He says he’s “committed to making the rest of the country aware of what the Central Oregon culinary scene has to offer.” We think he’s well on his way. SW Bos Taurus

Gluten-free, dairy-free, raw food enthusiasts: start your happy dance. Pure Joy Kitchen, a plant-based organic cafe, is now open on Colorado Avenue, in the previous location of Sarah’s Raw & Vegan cafe. The new spot serves up smoothies, desserts, medicinal elixirs, coffee, bowls and wraps for breakfast and lunch. Elaina Love, a culinary school owner and pioneer in plant-based living, founded the cafe. Love started eating a raw diet 20 years ago when she wasn’t feeling well and had low energy. Once she changed her diet, Love says she felt better and the food made her joyful. She started the cafe to spread the joy and make others feel good. You don’t have to be on an elimination diet to really enjoy Pure Food Kitchen. For those new to raw food, start with the cultured cheese and cracker plate with macadamia cheese and raw sprouted seed crackers. I don’t know how they do it, but this tastes like spinach artichoke dip. The Choco Maca Smoothie with coconut milk, raw cacao, maca, chia seeds, coconut sugar, vanilla and mineral salt drizzled with raw chocolate sauce is crave-able. I found myself wanting one the next morning and all I tried was a sample. Order the seasonal Strawberry Cream Pie, if they still have it; it’s so creamy, light and delicious! If you want to learn how to make raw, unprocessed, plant-based meals at home, Pure Joy Kitchen will offer cooking classes in the future. SW Pure Joy Kitchen

ver two sweltering-hot days at the Bite of Bend, eight local chefs tackled six secret ingredients in six rounds of competition to determine whose cuisine reigns supreme. This year the title of “Top Chef ” went to a Bend newcomer: Chef George Morris from the new fine dining steakhouse, Bos Taurus. To claim his win, Morris had to first beat previous Top Chef Bend winner, Chef Michael Benson from Pronghorn, in an oyster battle. Next, in the semifinals, he had to take down the previous year’s runner-up, Anna Witham from 123Ramen in a rhubarb brawl. In the final cooking showdown, with octopus as the secret ingredient, Morris had to beat Chef Ingrid Rohrer from Broken Top Bottle Shop.

You, Your Dog, A Beer

Where to drink with man’s best drinking friend

Kevin Gifford

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 27 / July 6, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Kevin Gifford

The perfect combination, on exhibit at Aspect.

t’s July, summer’s in full force, and for many locals stuck in workplaces while every vacationer in the world’s hitting the river with their kids, there’s only one thing in mind: When can I get out of this joint and IPA it up on someone’s lawn with my dog? Much like the history of human civilization, the history of craft beer in the U.S. is closely intertwined with dogs. Many are the breweries in this country, particularly down south where it’s warm most of the year, where patrons can bring their leashed pets right inside to hang out—from tiny joints like Brew Gentlemen in Pittsburgh all the way up to Cigar City Brewing, the Tampa-based giant that singlehandedly launched the scene in Florida. This is great for dog people. There’s no scientific poll yet, but casual observation seems to indicate that craft beer fans and owners of large breeds tend to be the same crowd. But it’s kind of bad for, well, everyone else, leading to complaints about unruly pets and the occasional Facebook flame war. The beer-crazy city of Denver banned dogs from all breweries in 2016, based on the idea that beer counts as “food” and needs to be regulated as such, and most drinkers replied by either taking their business outside city limits or just plain ignoring the ban. There are few brew locations in Oregon which go as far as a “bring ‘em in” policy, but lots of local joints have large, dog-friendly outdoor spaces. Some to check out, next time anyone wants to hang out at a craft joint and chill with their pets at the same time:

Aspect Board Shop. There are many places to take a dog down NW Galveston Avenue, most famously 10 Barrel and The Lot—both packed with little kids giving pets and french fries on the ground to scarf up. (Plus, for whatever reason, dogs love the grass planted in that little outdoor island at 10 Barrel. It’s a mystery to everyone.) In between is Aspect, which has a recently-expanded beer garden, plenty of Bend-exclusive beer, and dogs for miles. Plus: A front-row seat of Galveston traffic, with Westfalias and ancient Subarus passing by all afternoon. Industrial Way. Crux Fermentation Project probably speaks for itself. The outdoor area is huge, complete with its own bar, a couple of food trucks, and a massive amount of space to romp around. Just down the street a bit, though, is Spoken Moto, which slings out coffee and beer at equal intervals and also has a food truck-equipped outside area. The Box Factory. Speaking of the Old Mill area, the entirety of this shopping area has been beer-and-dog-orama almost ever since it opened. Atlas Cider and Immersion Brewing both have great outdoor patios, the former even offering a dog bed should one be needed, and both have tremendous offerings for the summer heat. On the other end is The Brown Owl, which has to be commended for its outdoor-oriented setup—food out in front, one of the best (and least touted) taplists just a few steps inside. There is no better way to achieve oneness with your dog. SW

a holistic medicine practitioner who is forced to attend a client's dinner party after her car breaks down. A funny and blistering look at white privilege with a cast featuring John Lithgow, Connie Britton, Chloe Sevigny and several other great indie stalwarts. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

THE BEGUILED: A remake of a weirdly sexist

Clint Eastwood movie puts Sophia (“Lost in Translation”) Coppola in the director's chair once again. It tells the tale of a wounded enemy soldier who takes refuge in an all-girls boarding school. The original was from the POV of the man, whereas the remake follows the women. An edge-of-your-seat story. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: Based on the

series of beloved books, “Captain Underpants” tells the story of a hypnotized principal who becomes the titular superhero. The cast is stacked with hilarious performers including Kevin Hart, Ed Helms, Jordan Peele, Kristen Schaal and many more. Give this one a shot and you'll be surprised at how funny and heartwarming something called “Captain Underpants” can be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

CARS 3: The continuing adventures of Lightning McQueen and Pixar's most annoying creation: Mater. I know the kids like him but, holy hell, what did we do to deserve Larry the Cable Guy in our ears for another 90 minutes? C'mon Pixar, you're better than this. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema. CITIZEN JANE: BATTLE FOR THE CITY: A

documentary about Jane Jacobs, an urban activist who fought to help preserve New York during the 1960s. A beautiful look at one of the greatest cities on the planet through the lens of a true American original. Tin Pan Theater

DESPICABLE ME 3: Whether or not you'll enjoy this new entry in the massively successful animation series depends on whether you're sick of the minions yet. If you can still handle them, then this is a pretty funny animated movie that kids will love and parents won't feel insulted by. See full review on p 43. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. Sisters Movie House. Redmond Cinema. GOING IN STYLE: A comedy/heist movie

starring Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin sounds like a great time at the movies, that’s no mystery. What is a mystery, however, is why Zach Braff from “Scrubs” is directing this? Sisters’ Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2:

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.

THE HERO: Legend Sam Elliott plays an actor who gets a cancer diagnosis and questions his legacy. The film is simultaneously heartbreaking, life affirming and beautiful. A lovely piece of work. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House THE HOUSE: Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler starring in an R-Rated comedy about gambling hits right in my cinematic sweet spot. These two actors together are an absolute treat and the movie looks hysterical. Hopefully catching this one on the big screen won't be too much...of a gamble. Sorry, not sorry. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX I, DANIEL BLAKE: Director Ken Loach has

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.

THE MUMMY: Tom Cruise once again takes a shot at launching a massive franchise with only his good looks and a dream. Who does he think he is... Vin Diesel? Anyway, this is a pretty terrible reboot of the “Mummy” movies that will probably lose money for everyone involved. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. PARIS CAN WAIT: Diane Lane and Alec Baldwin star in a romantic road trip comedy through the highways and byways of France. This should be a lovely diversion for the grownups in the audience. Tin Pan Theater. ROUGH NIGHT: In the spirit of “Bridesmaids”

and “Very Bad Things” comes a star-studded comedy about a bachelorette party that goes horribly wrong when the women accidentally kill a male stripper. I hope they all learn a valuable lesson because male strippers are people, too, and he was probably working his way through college or something. 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 space 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.

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema. Starting Friday, June 30 at Mcmenamins Old St. Francis: ALIEN: COVENANT: Ridley Scott dives back

into the universe of his classic “Alien” franchise after 2012's disappointing “Prometheus.” James Franco is in this and watching him get killed by an alien is on my bucket list.

BAYWATCH: The Rock was born to play a lifeguard, but this movie barely has a single laugh throughout its running time. This is the kind of movie for which Redbox was invented. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LONG HAUL: A family road trip for grandma's 90th

birthday is also an excuse for series star Greg to hit up a gamer convention.

SCREEN Crossing Streams Will Netflix save cinema? By Jared Rasic 41

Netflix

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 27 / July 6, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Just the sweet story of a girl and her super pig.

his year was the first time a film from streaming giant Netflix played in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. As soon as the Netflix logo appeared, the notoriously tough crowd began to boo and hiss without having seen a frame of the actual film. Audiences at Cannes like to consider themselves film purists, but in the most restrictive and least imaginative way possible. Some cultural critics view Netflix as the opening salvo to the death of the movie theater industry. What most critics fail to realize is that for every cinema like Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse, Portland’s Hollywood Theater or Bend’s Tin Pan Theater, lovingly projecting motion pictures with a genuine care about the experience, there are a dozen more who couldn’t care less about how the movie is presented once they have your money. There are a lot more big boxes than Tin Pans in this world. Aside from the presentation, another issue is that people in most mid-sized and smaller cities aren’t given the chance to see indie films in the theater. Instead, their only option is to catch the latest “Transformers” movie or whatever the largest release of that week is. Netflix is a chance for people to view many different kinds of movies. Netflix also gives auteur directors a chance for distribution of their movie when studios quit taking chances on anything that doesn’t already have a built-in fanbase or a good chance of creating a new franchise. Martin Scorsese is releasing his next movie (starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro) through Netflix because his last film, “Silence,” flopped massively. Geniuses such as Jim Jarmusch, Noah Baumbach, David Wain, Duncan Jones and Jeremy Saulnier can barely get a film financed anymore and are all turning to Netflix for their upcoming films. “Okja” was the film that was booed at Cannes—just released on Netflix last week. It’s the latest offering from South Korean visionary Bong Joon-ho, the beautiful mind

behind such modern classics as “Mother,” “The Host” and “Snowpiercer.” It tells the story of a young girl named Mija who takes on a giant multi-national corporation to protect her best friend, a huge pig-like creature, from being experimented on. The film is a weirder and wilder “E.T.” mixed with “Pete’s Dragon,” “Brazil” and “Spirited Away,” but with the uncanny ability to break your heart and inspire your soul in equal measure. While the audience at Cannes was failing to notice the forest for the trees, they were booing what will easily be one of the best films of the year and the most memorable cinematic experience I’ve had in a long time, an experience I had in my own home, watching a movie that could have easily played in theaters across the country. Instead I got to wear pajamas and cuddle with my cat instead of fighting to hear the movie over people using their outside voices. With a cast featuring Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano and the wonderful Ahn Seo-hyun, “Okja” should be a multi-cultural hit that crosses all boundaries. As a satire of corporate hegemony and as a sci-fi action/adventure on the level of Steven Spielberg’s best, “Okja” is the kind of movie that reminds cinephiles like me why we dedicate so much of our lives to motion pictures in the first place. It’s not Netflix’s responsibility to save movie theaters from themselves. Just because a movie doesn’t play in a theater doesn’t make it any less of a movie, and just because a theater plays movies doesn’t mean they know what a truly immersive experience even is. SW Okja

Little Yellow People

Laughing at the Despicables By Jared Rasic

Dreamworks

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 27 / July 6, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Come at me, minions. I’ll fight all of you.

don’t wanna be that guy complaining that movies should teach my hypothetical children something other than gibberish, but here I am, asking you politely to get off my lawn and take your Despicables with you. Amazingly enough, “Despicable Me 2” and “Minions” were both the highest grossing animated films of 2013 and 2015, respectively. That means that a movie about yellow laboratory freaks with brain damage speaking in tongues made more money than “Inside Out” and “Mad Max: Fury Road”...combined.

It's weird, but"Despicable Me 3" doesn't quite have the heart of the last two movies, but it's quite a bit funnier and that works like a charm. Maybe the draw for parents and their kids is Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) or one of the cute little orphan girls. Or maybe it’s been the evolution of the story of Gru and his makeshift family. Where the first movie saw Gru as a super-villain slowly opening his heart and home to three little orphan girls, the second film sees Gru find love and a new purpose in life that moves him out of the realm of super-villainy into being a full-blown hero. These transitions manage to be surprisingly touching for a series

involving shark rockets and fart guns. “Despicable Me 3” begins with Gru as a full-fledged agent of the Anti-Villain League, actively foiling super-villains instead of accidentally. Gru and Lucy both get fired because they failed to capture new villain Balthazar Bratt (perfectly voiced by “South Park’s” Trey Parker) and have to figure out what new jobs to get. There’s a ton more plot involving long-lost twin brothers, giant robots and, of course, the Minions. As much plot as there is, most of the story just exists to set up some pretty hilarious jokes. It’s weird, but “Despicable Me 3” doesn’t quite have the heart of the last two movies, but it’s quite a bit funnier and that works like a charm. It’s almost like they’re going the “Harry Potter” route and aging the movies up with their audience. Instead of relying on cute little girls making faces or the Minions hurting themselves while being adorable, the script is actually pretty funny on its own and creates several great character moments. As someone who literally wants to punch a Minion in the face (I don’t care if they’re wearing glasses), I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. It’s a cute diversion with some great animation and good jokes for people who laugh at butts like I do. Even the Minions made me laugh a few times. Little bastards. SW

for Survivors OUTSIDE Riding Tour des Chutes raises money for local cancer survivors—and offers a plethora of fun rides by Caitlin Richmond

45 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 27 / July 6, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

oad biking can seem intimidating, with the spandex shorts and the skinny tires and the really long races. But in Bend, there are a lot of cyclists who want to watch other people get out there on those skinny tires. If you’ve been contemplating wiggling into some spandex and hitting the road to challenge yourself—but also support a good cause, Tour des Chutes is your opportunity this week. “There’s something for everyone,” explained Anne Linton, a member of Team Sunnyside and one of the safety riders for the Tour des Chutes. “It’s for a great cause, it’s a great community activity and it’s a lot of fun.” Tour des Chutes is a ride for cancer survivorship. All the proceeds go to St. Charles’ Cancer Center survivorship programs and Pediatric Foundation, a nonprofit that supports families who have a child with cancer. In the past, Tour des Chutes has raised more than $900,000 for cancer programs. Cyclists of all ages and abilities live in Bend, and everyone will find a ride for their ability level, whether they’re a kid who recently mastered a two-wheel bike or a seasoned century rider, riders can choose anything from 7-mile to 100-mile rides, and even a 5k run. Gary Bonacker, a co-owner of Sunnyside Sports and a brain cancer survivor, started the ride after seeing how cancer affected people in the long term—beyond the symptoms of the disease. “When cancer is diagnosed early it is being managed more as a chronic disease. Because of this we need more

Riders and volunteers enjoy the camaraderie that envelops the Tour des Chutes.

support and education for these cancer survivors,” Bonacker explained on the Tour des Chutes website. “Over 40 percent of cancer patients suffer from depression and over 50 percent have other health challenges associated with the cancer.” In the early years of Tour des Chutes, organizers divided the earnings between the LiveStrong Foundation and the St. Charles Cancer Center, but starting in 2013 all of the proceeds were kept local. The ride is open to everyone, but cancer survivors get a special finish chute and are given a rose at the end of the race, said Linton. All riders are

encouraged to write names of people they know who have or had cancer on their race bibs. “Tour des Chutes has a different meaning for the riders,” Bonacker said. “It is more than just another cycling event. The ride gives you time to reflect on where you are in life, the full meaning of being a part of this world and time to reflect on the people you love. People love to stay after the ride for hours, talking with friends, meeting new friends and just enjoying the moment.” If you’re considering doing one of the longer rides, Linton says the Tour des Chutes is a great option because

it’s relatively flat, and it’s well aided with stops, safety riders to help out participants, and cars donated by Robberson Ford to get around the course. “I’d been doing a lot of road riding and wanted to test my legs and endurance on the 50-mile route,” rider Janice Hughes said. “The best part was the scenery, but the event volunteers at the rest stops and the camaraderie among the riders made it really special.” SW Tour des Chutes

Killing deer with kindness By Jim Anderson 47

Jim Anderson

Beautiful mule deer buck, isn’t he? However, you may be killing him with kindness.

while back, I wrote a piece about the dangerous consequences to you and me by feeding deer and therefore inviting cougar into our backyards. I pleaded with people who insist on feeding deer to please stop before they attract cougar, which in turn will assuredly result in mayhem on humans—and the unfortunate cougar. However, I missed the boat entirely on the danger to deer by loving them to death — quite literally.

The most serious communicable disease deer and elk face, however, is Chronic Wasting Disease, a contagious untreatable illness in deer and elk. It was a few years back while discussing the cougar/deer/people association with Claire Kunkel, Oregon Department of Fish and Widlife biologist and the Deschutes watershed district manager for the High Desert region. Kunkel opened the door to another serious problem associated with feeding deer: communicable wildlife diseases, including Adenovirus Hemorrhagic Disease (AHD)— which can be spread easily by feeding deer and making them into “pets.” It alone could destroy more mule deer in Central Oregon in a year than hunters could harvest in two years, and might even compete with motor vehicles as a wasteful destruction of game animals. In 2002, AHD was confirmed

untreatable illness in deer and elk. This insidious disease has not (to my knowledge) been found in Oregon yet, but ODFW biologists are keeping a sharp eye on what’s taking place throughout the West. Kunkel said, “Although the origin and transmission of CWD is not clearly defined, we do know it is found in the saliva, and if an infected deer or elk comes to a feeding station, it may be only a few days before an entire herd will be infected.” In the last few years, CWD has been found in free-ranging and captive mule deer, white-tailed deer, and elk in Utah, Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, and other western states. Yes, Idaho and Nevada are between Oregon and the infected animals of Utah, but with the advent of immediate communications and transportation, it’s possible for the disease to enter Oregon unnoticed. By then it may be too late. High-density deer populations will have a higher risk for the disease, due to the ease of transmission. For that reason ODFW biologists are encouraging people to avoid providing feed (including salt and mineral blocks) or water stations for deer because these activities may assist in spreading the in an outbreak in Central Oregon disease if it is present.

it so will bypass the property when it is priced too high and steer the buyers elsewhere. In our current market, if a home is on the market too long, it is often because the price has been set too high. Even if it is lowered later, the momentum gained in those early days has oftentimes been lost and the listing can be stigmatized. As a realtor, I have personally noticed that overpriced homes that have sat for more than two months are the ones where buyers submit offers for fair market price. It is natural to price things higher, expecting buyers to barter with the price point; even if your home is listed for the correct price, people will still try to get it for less. Realtors typically prepare a comparative market analysis to show sellers the estimated value of their home based on recent sales in their area — a valuable resource for sellers. Often what sellers want is not realistic, so their homes do not sell despite the best marketing efforts. My advice is to hold steady to your price and it will sell.

hese days when a home is priced correctly it’s likely that it will sell quickly and that offers will be for full or above the asking price. This often worries sellers who are afraid they have priced their home too low or that they should wait for a higher offer. The reality of the rapid flurry of activity has been the efficiency of our MLS (Multiple Service Listing) system. When a home is newly listed, the first days are crucial and momentum gains quickly during this period. New MLS listings show up on potential buyer search results, in agent search results and on many other websites that are fed by the system. In times of low inventory and high demand — as in our current market — it is highly likely for a seller to receive full price or above asking price offer on a home that is in good condition and correctly priced quite quickly. Realtors have countless stories of sellers who decide not to take the first round of offers and who may hold out waiting for a higher price — which they never receive. Agents know a fair deal when they see

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Plenty Of Dead Fish

My girlfriend and I broke up recently, so I’m back in the dating pool. Do you think online dating is a good way to meet people? If so, which are the best dating sites? —Diving In

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / July 6, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Asking “Which dating site is best?” is like asking, “Is pro basketball a viable career?” That question can only be answered by asking other questions, such as: “Aren’t you a 47-year-old, 5’2” Ashkenazi Jewish woman with 20/80 vision and bad knees?” To put this another way, context matters — which isn’t what they tell you in Datingsiteville. Save for specialty sites — like those for farmers, the disabled, and people who relish a good flogging — the advertising for these venues tends to be context-free: “Hey, everybody in the entire galaxy, get your lasting love here!” Annoyingly, though most of us have a sense of what context is, nobody’s done a very good job of defining it — either in the dictionary or in Researchville, where I found a herd of dueling definitions, all so unhelpfully worded that they seem to be in secret code. So here’s my definition: Context is a combo platter of the particular situation at hand — like pro basketball, online dating, being a bad dancer, or being sexually attracted to woodchucks — plus the details relevant to it that affect how you understand or experience the situation. In the context of online dating, the relevant details include age, sex, the quality of

the competition, and one’s desired situation, as in: Do you just want casual sex, or are you holding out for something a little more, uh, black tie. There are sex differences in when people are at their most appealing, because men and women tend to be at their highest “mate value” at different ages. This comes out of how male sexuality evolved to be visually driven (because the features men find beautiful — youth being the biggie — are associated with fertility). Women, however, evolved to go for “providers” — men with high status and earning power. So, online dating tends to be more fruitful if you’re a hot 23-year-old female espresso jockey or a 43-year-old male VP of a successful startup, but it can have some challenges for the 43-year-old female startup star or the 23-year-old dude who’s the senior vice barista. So the question is not whether dating sites work but whether the qualities you have and the situation you’re seeking add up to more than a few tumbleweeds blowing around in your inbox. Because online dating Amy Alkon success is shaped more by personal context (and plain old luck) than by the particular site you’re on, you might experiment with two or three. If things go poorly, use online dating as a supplement to meeting women the retro way, like at cocktail parties, where you won’t be competing with the 362 more genetically blessed males within a 35-mile radius. This vastly increases your chances of dazzling the ladies with your personality — distracting them from how Mother Nature zoned out when she was handing out necks to your family.

ASTROLOGY CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you famil-

you to break through any inhibitions you might have about accessing and expressing your passion. To help you in this righteous cause, I’ve assembled a batch of words you should be ready to use with frequency and sweet abandon. Consider writing at least part of this list on your forearm with a felttip pen every morning so it’s always close at hand: enamored, piqued, enchanted, stirred, roused, enthused, delighted, animated, elevated, thrilled, captivated, turned-on, enthralled, exuberant, fired up, awakened.

iar with the psychological concepts of anima and animus? You’re in the midst of being intoxicated by one of those creatures from inner space. Though you may not be fully conscious of it, you women are experiencing a mystical marriage with an imaginal character that personifies all that’s masculine in your psyche. You men are going through the analogous process with a female figure within you. I believe this is true no matter what your sexual orientation is. While this awesome psychological event may be fun, educational, and even ecstatic, it could also be confusing to your relationships with real people. Don’t expect them to act like or live up to the very real fantasy you’re communing with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Matt Groening, creator of the cartoon series “The Simpsons,” says that a great turning point in his early years came when his Scoutmaster told him he was the worst Boy Scout in history. While this might have demoralized other teenagers, it energized Groening. “Well, somebody’s got to be the worst,” he triumphantly told the Scoutmaster. And then, “instead of the earth opening up and swallowing me, instead of the flames of hell fire licking at my knees — nothing happened. And I was free.” I suspect you may soon be blessed with a comparable liberation, Leo. Maybe you’ll be released from having to live up to an expectation you shouldn’t even live up to. Or maybe you’ll be criticized in a way that will motivate your drive for excellence for years to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Nineteen of my readers who work in the advertising industry signed a petition requesting that I stop badmouthing their field. “Without advertising,” they testified, “life itself would be impossible.” In response, I agreed to attend their re-education seminar. There, under their tutelage, I came to acknowledge that everything we do can be construed as a kind of advertising. Each of us is engaged in a mostly unconscious campaign to promote our unique way of looking at and being in the world. Realizing the truth, I now feel no reservations about urging you Virgos to take advantage of the current astrological omens. They suggest that you can and should be aggressive and ingenious about marketing yourself, your ideas, and your products.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here’s your riddle: What unscratchable itch drives you half-crazy? But you’re secretly glad it drives you half-crazy, because you know your half-craziness will eventually lead you to an experience or resource that will relieve the itch. Here’s your prophecy: Sometime soon, scratching the unscratchable itch will lead you to the experience or resource that will finally relieve the itch. Here’s your homework: Prepare yourself emotionally to fully receive and welcome the new experience or resource. Make sure you’re not so addicted to scratching the unscratchable itch that you fail to take advantage of the healing it’s bringing you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The best way to go forward is to go backward; the path to the bright future requires a shadowy regression. Put another way, you should return to the roots of a triumph in order to find a hidden flaw that might eventually threaten to undo your success. Correct that flaw now and you’ll make it unnecessary for karmic repercussions to undermine you later. But please don’t get all solemn-faced and anxious about this assignment. Approach it with humorous self-correction and you’ll ensure that all goes well.

ering save-the-world addict, I have felt compassionate skepticism towards my fellow junkies who are still in the throes of their obsession. But recently I’ve discovered that just as a small minority of alcoholics can safely take a drink now and then, so can a few save-theworld-aholics actually save the world a little bit at a time without getting strung-out. With that as a disclaimer, Aquarius, I’m letting you know that the cosmos has authorized you to pursue your own brand of fanatical idealism in the coming weeks. To keep yourself honest, make fun of your zealotry every now and then.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The potential breakthrough I foresee for you is a rare species of joy. It’s a gritty, hard-earned pleasure that will spawn beautiful questions you’ll be glad to have awakened. It’s a surprising departure from your usual approach to feeling good that will expand your understanding of what happiness means. Here’s one way to ensure that it will visit you in all of its glory: Situate yourself between the fabulous contradictions in your life and say, “Squeeze me, tease me, please me.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unless you were raised by a pack of feral raccoons or a fundamentalist cult, now is a perfect time to dive in to your second childhood. Is there a toy you wanted as a kid but never got? Buy it for yourself now! What were the delicious foods you craved back then? Eat them! Where were the special places you loved? Go there, or to spots that remind you of them. Who were the people you were excited to be with? Talk with them. Actions like these will get you geared up for a fullscale immersion in innocent eagerness. And that would be just the right medicine for your soul.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What I wish for you, Taurus, is toasted ice cream and secrets in plain sight and a sacred twist of humorous purity. I would love for you to experience a powerful surrender and a calm climax and a sweeping vision of a small but pithy clue. I very much hope that you will get to take a big trip to an intimate turning point that’s not too far away. I pray you will find or create a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 2003, the American Film Institute announced the creation of a new prize to honor acting talent. Dubbed the Charlton Heston Award, it was designed to be handed out periodically to luminaries who have distinguished themselves over the course of long careers. The first recipient of the award was, oddly enough, Charlton Heston himself, born under the sign of Libra. I hope you’re inspired by this story to wipe away any false modesty you might be suffering from. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable moment to create a big new award named after you and bestow it upon yourself. As part of the festivities, tell yourself about what makes you special, amazing, and valuable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Dr. Seuss’s book, *Horton Hatches an Egg,* an elephant assumes the duty of sitting on a bird’s egg, committed to keeping it warm until hatching time. The nest is located high in a tree, which makes the undertaking even more incongruous. By the climax of the tale, Horton has had to persist in his loyal service through a number of challenges. But all ends well, and there’s an added bonus: The creature that’s born is miraculously part-bird, part-elephant. I see similarities between this story and your life right now, Gemini. The duty you’re carrying out doesn’t come naturally, and you’re not even sure you’re doing it right. But if you keep at it till it’s completed, you’ll earn a surprising reward.

t’s not easy for a budtender out there. You’re expected to know a dizzying amount of details about the products your dispensary carries: the lineage of the strains, the terpene levels and effects, the best options for individual conditions and more—and that’s just for the flower. There’s some real science to all this, and for a myriad of reasons, many dispensaries do not offer their budtenders the degree of training they both need and desire. Which is why you may have had the experience of requesting a strain good for sleep issues only to have the budtender reply that “Well, I dunno, this Blue Dream is fire, Brah. Fire.” (So, take 2 grams of Fire and call you in the morning then?!) But that’s not the fault of the budtender, who’s only trained in what knowledge the dispensary offers. Sommeliers get to go to France to try wines, visit with the growers, and learn about the terroir. Budtenders get some of the duff that gathers around the joint rolling trays, if they are lucky, and occasionally a sample edible. Be still my heart. All eyes are on Oregon’s cannabis industry and community at the moment, from our groundbreaking pesticide-testing standards, our craft cannabis cultivators, and our bafflin social consumption laws. But it’s still the people in Oregon who make us a world-class leader in all manners of the plant, including the Portland powerhouse of cannabis knowledge and vision that is Emma Chasen. Emma is not here to fuck around, y’all. She’s on a bona fide raise-the-roof mission, and later this month begins her budtender training programs. At Portland’s Farma Dispensary, Emma built the education and training program for budtenders that’s still in use today. You might also recognize her as Willamette Week’s Budtender of the Year in 2016. Or as co-founder with Alyssa Wildrick of Prismatic Paradigm, whose website eloquently frames their mission statement as “What is Your Good Medicine?” (prismaticparadigm.com) and “seeks to dismantle our capitalistic patriarchal society through herbal education, empowerment, community and healing workshops” (In these hallucinatory times, anything that seeks to dismantle our patriarchal society should be given our full attention and support.) Chasen graduated from Brown University in 2014 with a degree in medicinal plant research, and then coordinated clinical oncology trials with the Brown University Oncology Research Group. When her supervisor refused a cannabis trial in favor of another expensive pharmaceutical drug, Emma quit and quickly decamped to Portland, Ore.

She recently shared that she “believes there is a great vacuum in the industry when it comes to cannabis science and education, specifically with the dispensary. I came from Farma, which is known for its scientific approach to cannabis and its focus on education. The owners informed that ethos and hired a highly intelligent, motivated staff. I think that the dispensaries should place value on training their budtenders, because these are the people that are simultaneously representing the industry (companies, products, etc.) and interfacing with customers who at times have serious medical concerns. For budtenders to have zero training on cannabis science and empathetic patient care is inexcusable. This is why it is my mission to take my budtender training program and offer courses to the community.” Beginning July 14, Chasen begins her “Budtender Bootcamp” series, joining forces with the Sativa Science Club to offer a comprehensive multi-week program that focuses on cannabis history, evolution, botany, biochemistry, physiology, product knowledge, empathetic patient care, best retail practices and compliance. On July 29, Chasen will run a Cannabis Science workshop through Tokeativity that will be a three-hourlong workshop for women and non-binary people only. “This class will be a much broader overview of cannabis evolution and how cannabis affects us biochemically.” she says. “I love the opportunity to empower women with science and to share in a safe space with people who may feel too intimidated to sign up for the full Budtender Bootcamp series. Find tickets for the events on the events pages of sativascienceclub.com and tokativity.com. By the way, if you have a budtender you love in Central Oregon, you have until Friday, July 7, to vote for them in the Source’s Best Of contest!
