WHITE WATER PARK ISSUE I am continually dismayed by not only the dysfunction of the white water park, but especially by the ripped up condition of the river and river banks caused by the wanton disregard of the Park District for the care of a natural resource entrusted to them by the public.

All that money spent on the white water park and the adjacent skate park should have been spent on a public pool and work out center for the South end of Bend, where it would have benefited thousands of people. And in the future, the same type of center for the East side of Bend. This town can certainly support more than one public pool. And it is not the duty of the Park District to protect the private interests of the private athletic clubs. The next time the Park district wants the public to vote on the next project, I would certainly exercise caution unless it is abundantly clear that the project would be in the interest of an overwhelming majority of the citizens who live, work, and partake of the Park district facilities.

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT Donald Trump has accomplished what he has in the campaign to date because so many Americans are thoroughly disgusted and fed up with politicians like the Clintons and their ilk. But he has had a lot of help from the fact that this is a “Hollywoodized” nation, and Trump’s nickname should be “Hollywood Trump,” if anything. Perhaps one of the reasons he is slipping in the polls, aside from all the money Hilly is spending on negative ads and the lip-flapping of Lizzie Wornout, is because some of the people who have liked him for his entertainment value—compared to the Trumpeter, Hillary is a limp biscuit—are now starting to ask themselves if there might be more to all this than just mere entertainment.

It is a very valid and meritorious question. And in the end one can only ask: Is There?

HILLARY CLINTON ENDORSEMENT The Source has endorsed Hillary Clinton, as has the President of the United States. This illustrates how much we have lowered the bar for Presidential Candidates, both Democrat and Republican.

CNN, a progressive news source, just released a report indicating that the Clinton state department appointed an individual, who was a large donor to the Clinton Foundation, to an important security committee requiring security clearance. The donor had zero security experience and no security clearance. CNN released a series of e-mails showing the state department’s attempt to “cover” for Mrs. Clinton. The donor resigned the position after one month.

As a country, we should be able to do better than this. How much scrutiny has the general press given to the Clinton Foundation? The Source should do some research on the Clinton Foundation, which on the surface appears to be very illegal and provide its readers with some honest feedback.

OUR HOMELESS BROTHERS AND SISTERS There are cities around the nation that are setting up tiny house villages for the homeless.

In most cases, the costs of the tiny houses and the public amenities is less—often considerably less—than the cost for incarceration, emergency medical care and other costs that happen with unmanaged homeless situations.

Tiny house villages usually charge minimal rent and utilities, have self-governance and rules, and access to necessary services. Search the web and you will find many examples.

This is something Central Oregon could do with the cooperation of the jurisdictions and agencies involved, plus the involvement of civic groups, donors, and volunteers. I believe we have a moral obligation to have shelters, temporary housing, and social services available for our brothers and sisters in need. Setting up authorized, self-governing camps or tiny house villages could go a long way toward easing this humanitarian problem.

things have struck me: First, why do we continue to build and/or promote bikeways when the city/county cannot seem to come up with a budget for sweeping/maintaining the ones we have? Second, the arguments surrounding returning the river to its natural state through Mirror Pond is disingenuous. We change the course of the river upstream to create a Whitewater Park, and everyone cheers. We then put forth an effort to save Mirror Pond and Drake Park as we know it, and we are booed.

THE BOOT Airbnb Should Share and Share Alike WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / July 7, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

B

end residents concerned about Airbnb’s effect on the local housing supply and economy should pay close attention to what’s currently happening in San Francisco. In response to a new rule there that would fine Airbnb $1,000 per day for every unregistered listing in the City, the home-sharing behemoth is suing its hometown.

The company contends that the new rule violates the Communications Decency Act, a federal law that prohibits the government from punishing websites for user-generated content.

They say the government should focus on the users who are posting illegal rental listings, and the company should not be required to help the City enforce its laws.

Despite the fact that Airbnb just last year agreed to require hosts in San Francisco to register with the City, it has continued to allow non-registered listings on the site. So far, only 20 percent of hosts required to register in San Francisco have done so.

It would be an easy task for the company to identify, based on geography, which hosts are required to register with their local governments, prompt those hosts to submit proof of registration, and disable the accounts of those who don’t provide it. After all, the company recently had no trouble at all figuring out how to target San Francisco hosts with banner ads when they logged in to their Airbnb account, reminding them to vote against an upcoming ballot measure. It’s not much different from Enterprise Car Share requiring members to confirm

the validity of their driver’s license each year.

Whether he lawsuit prevails, one thing is clear: Airbnb seems to think sharing is for others, not themselves. They don’t want to share the names of their hosts with cities who would like to remind those hosts to register their short-term rentals, and collect the fees associated with such. They don’t want to share data that would help cities understand just how much local Airbnb rentals are affecting affordable housing supplies.

And they don’t want to share any responsibility for the collateral damage caused by unscrupulous users they refuse to police, even as they take a cut of every transaction conducted through their platform.

Airbnb insists that it helps longtime residents keep their homes while housing prices skyrocket, and there is some truth to that. Many homeowners in Bend use the platform to make their mortgage, and to make ends meet. But the company doesn’t want to share data that would clarify just how many of their hosts meet that description, and how many are using the platform to convert affordable housing into lucrative shortterm vacation rentals. If Airbnb wants to be seen as a champion of the shared economy, it should start by sharing the responsibility for making sure its own users are following the rules. Perhaps if it did, more cities might welcome them with open arms instead of devising local ordinances designed to clip the company’s wings. SW

Latinos Rising

Latin American Community continues to grow rapidly in Central Oregon

By M.W. Hill

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 27 / July 7, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

L

ocals shouldn’t be surprised by recently released U.S. census data showing consistently growing Latino populations in Bend, Deschutes County, and Oregon. After all, Spanish-speaking peoples settled this region in the-mid 1800s, long before other European cultures.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Latino population in Deschutes County increased by 18.6 percent between 2010 and 2015, surpassing state (14.2 percent), Jefferson (6.5 percent), and Crook county (10.5 percent) growth. All three Central Oregon counties have seen continuous growth since at least 1990.

Donna Maxey, founder and director of RACE TALKS, a no-cost presentation and discussion series, puts the growth into context. Once upon a time, “Oregon was part of California, which was claimed by the Spanish, as well as the British and French Canadians.

It became part of a territory settlement bartered by President Alexander Polk and subsequently the Oregon territory. ‘To welcome’ Spanish speakers/Latinos is somewhat of an oxymoron. We know Spanish speakers were here before other European cultures.”

According to the Latino Community Association (LCA), Bend’s Latino population grew by 14.1 percent from 2010 to 2015, with just over a third from the U.S., about half from Mexico, and 3.6 percent from other Central American countries, including El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.

LCA Executive Director Brad Porterfield says, “Latino families are attracted to Central Oregon for the same reasons as many families: quality of life and commerce. When our economy grows, Latinos in the US grow with it. It’s not a stretch to say that Latinos fuel the economy with a strong work ethic, high productivity, flexibility, loyalty, resilience, and an entrepreneurial spirit.”

Casabay Photography owner Maria Bay, who is Peruvian, says when her husband was offered a job in Central Oregon, she was excited to relocate. Having lived and worked around the world, Bay says, “We have lived in very large cities, and while I love the hustle and bustle of Shanghai or Kyev, it’s nice to have a work commute under an hour.”

Karla Castillo of the Oregon Employment Department attributes part of the population growth to Oregon’s rapid recovery and robust expansion after the recession. She notes the industries that added the most jobs in 2015 were transportation and utilities, leisure and hospitality, trade and construction. According to the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics database (generated by the U.S. Census Bureau), 8.4 percent of jobs in these

About half of Central Oregon's Latinos come from Mexico!

industries were filled by Hispanics.

“As the labor supply continues to tighten, participation of Hispanics in the workforce becomes crucial,” says Castillo. “Comprising 10.3 percent of Oregon’s labor force in 2014, and with a higher labor force participation rate than non-Hispanics, Hispanics have already established themselves as an important part of the state economy.”

LCA Programs Manager Oscar Gonzalez says recent Latino and Chicano migration has also been driven by geographic preferences.

“Locally, I have heard stories and conversations on how specifically Central Oregon reminds many Mexican folk of regions specific to mid and southern Mexico. A mix of mountains and desert, the tepid climate, the relative slow pace of everyday life as compared to urban and/or larger metropolitan cities is attractive.”

Gonzalez, who earned a degree in economics and Chicano studies from Loyola-Marymount, notes that Central Oregon is one of many pockets of rapidly-growing Latino communities across the nation, including North Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota, Utah, and the state of Washington.

He says continued growth is indicated by the tri-county primary school population, which mostly shows the proportion of Latino (students) to be higher than their proportion of the general population in respective counties.

The High Desert Education Service District reported for the 2013-14 school year, 12 of 14 tri-county primary schools had between 19 and 45 percent Latino students.

Despite the significant increase, many locals haven’t noticed the blossoming regional Latino presence. Gonzalez says, “Typically, once the first generation of children have grown and then matriculate from K-12 and begin to graduate from higher education, socio-economic-political shifts begin to become apparent. This makes it difficult for the majority

population to continue to be unaware.” He points to California as an example of this evolution.

For Bendites wanting to interface more regularly with local Latinos, Porterfield recommends seeking out interactions through conversation, informal language learning with native speakers, tutoring English or basic computing with the LCA, attending and volunteering at cultural events, and visiting parks on the East side of town.

The LCA is the only non-religious affiliated organization in Central Oregon that offers assistance to eligible persons seeking U.S. citizenship, works to increase access to health and legal services, provides business and informal cultural literacy training, makes sure Latinos are represented in community discussions and on civic committees, and coordinates tutoring and language learning opportunities.

In addition, “We’re working toward establishing a Latino Family Empowerment Center to promote a culture of advancement and civic engagement,” says Porterfield.

Bendites can also look forward to RACE TALKS' impending expansion throughout the Oregon diaspora. They host monthly meetings addressing historical and current state topics of ethnicity and race in a presentation and small group dialogue format.

RACE TALKS’ goal is to support interracial and cross-cultural communication through the development of sensitivity and understanding.

Recreational drone enthusiasts looking to get an aerial shot of a blazing wildfire should stay far, far away, according to Oregon officials who point out that operating an unmanned aerial vehicle in a Temporary Flight Restriction zone— such as in an active wildfire area—is punishable under state and federal law.

In fact, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, “Drone operators who interfere with wildfire suppression efforts are subject to civil penalties of up to $27,500 and possible criminal prosecution.”

“Drones flying in the vicinity of a wildfire pose a very serious threat to fire crews in their ability to safely combat wildfires, protect Oregonians and defend property,” said Rep. John Huffman (R-The Dalles), who leads the legislative Work Group on Unmanned Aerial Systems. “In several cases, fire crews have had to abandon essential aerial fire suppression operations due to drone activity in the area. It is absolutely imperative that drone pilots know the law and operate their UAVs with the highest regard for public safety.”

Oregon’s state wildfire agency concurs.

“When we respond to a wildfire, we need to be able to count on having clear airspace to operate helicopters and fire retardant aircraft,” said Doug Grafe, Chief of Fire Protection for the Oregon Department of Forestry. “Firefighters

indicate that hands-only CPR is more effective than alternating compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and that rescuers should perform 100 to 120 compressions per minute, pushing down 2 to 2.4 inches on the chest.

According to Battalion Chief David Howe, the class will include an introduction to the Pulse Point phone app, which locates CPR providers in proximity to a cardiac arrest. He says, “ We aim to get as many community CPR providers as we can, so that the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest in Bend will continue to rise.” Call 541-322-6300 to register for an upcoming class.

Note: Readers wondering how to maintain a rhythm of 100 to 120 compressions per minute can sing the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” in their heads. Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” will also work, as inappropriate as it seems.

BEND'S

ROADS Searching for remedies to Bend’s failed fuel tax measure

By Alyce Pearce

M

uch like drivers grip their steering wheels to brace themselves for Bend’s renowned, axle-eating potholes, controversy surrounding a proposed five-cent per gallon fuel tax gripped the local community this past March.

Money from Measure 9-105 was to be used exclusively for road repairs and improvements in Bend. Estimated to generate about $2.5 million—it was a solution to bridge a gap between the proposed budget of $1.8 million and $6 million, a goal to tackle the problem of Bend’s critical, backlogged work and insufficient long-term revenue.

At times spun as a “sneak attack” on voters, the early-ballot measure was an expedited attempt to capture this summer’s tourist revenue to chase what the City portrayed as an accelerating deficit of funding for ailing streets. Poor roads in desperate need of repair, mistrust of government, and disagreement about the lines of public responsibility dominated conversations leading up to the special early election.

Despite indications that the public favored a fuel tax in the City of Bend 2015 community survey, the measure was soundly thumped by voters, nearly 64 percent no to 36 percent yes.

Post-defeat, the City has managed to garner funding close to that $6 million goal without the tax. Final figures for the 2015-2016 budget come in at $5.2 million, according to Bend City Councilor Victor Chudowsky, who opposed the measure. The aftermath and seeming recovery raise the question of how necessary a fuel tax is, and whether there are better solutions moving forward.

THE AGONY OF DEFEAT City Manager Eric King attributed the measure’s defeat to a lack of education prior to the more-costly special election, compounded by overall public confusion about how local government services are funded. He feels people unfortunately don’t readily see the connection between their tax dollars and investment in community.

“I think there’s an underlying mistrust in government on all levels,” he reflected. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to tell these stories and paint the picture.”

King faces the same challenge as many other city managers across the state: a struggle to find sustainable funding for streets that can keep up with rising costs while working within constrained

state and local revenue streams. Many Oregon cities have ushered in a fuel tax as a revenue generator. Just this May, Portland became the 25th city in Oregon to pass (marginally) a fuel tax, proving that Bend is not alone in seeking solutions to fund transportation budgets.

According to King, Bend’s road repair budget is running at a deficit, partly because of low revenue bases from the Oregon state gas tax revenue and Bend’s low frozen property tax rate, due to Propositions 5 and 50, passed in the 1990s.

“You kind of have three legs to the stool: income, property and sales (tax).

The state takes all the income tax, we don’t have a sales tax, and our only tax that the city gets are property taxes… which are frozen (at a low rate),” he said. “The biggest misunderstanding we see from voters is that we (the City) lack increasing revenue from property taxes. It’s been hard for the City of Bend to have growth pay for these (road) services. That might happen if we didn’t have these (legal) restrictions.”

Chudowsky, one of two City councilors opposed to the fuel tax, stands on the other side of the road. He says it is true “…that the city’s rate, the rate per every one thousand dollars for your home, is fairly low here compared to other Oregon cities. But it’s not just the rate that matters; it’s the value of your home. People like to say that our rate is much lower than it is in Eugene, for example. It’s true that the rate is lower, but our values are higher, much higher. And so in the end, it’s kind of a wash. Not only are our values higher, but (so is) our taxable assessed value, the sum total of everything we tax

> WHERE DOES YOUR PROPERTY TAX DOLLAR GO?

within the city limits that is growing very, very rapidly because of all of the real estate investment that’s pouring into Bend. That makes up, I think, to a large extent for the low tax rate.”

In fact, the City significantly underestimated property tax revenues for the 2015-2016 fiscal year that just ended July 1. According to Chudowsky, “The budget was built around a 5.5 percent increase in property taxes. And then last fall we were informed that it wasn’t going to be 5.5 percent, it was going to be 7.1 percent. So that was money that the City wasn’t counting on.”

TOURIST TRAP: GET A ROOM! Chudowsky opposed the fuel tax from the beginning, saying that not enough was looked at before jumping to a gas tax solution. As he combed through all the sources of revenue to see what was rising, he said, “What really caught my eye in particular, along with the property taxes, was the tourism tax.

It’s been growing incredibly. And my position was, ‘look, why are we looking at new sources of revenue when you have this existing one that is going up far beyond anybody’s expectations?”

In fact, the City’s bare minimum budget needed to stop the bleeding was not only met without the tax, but came close to its $6 million dollar goal through the transient room tax and higher than expected revenues from property taxes.

“Revenues came in much higher than expected,” said Chudowsky. “The room tax revenue has been going up like crazy. Their projections were like eight to ten percent increases in revenues. And this year we’ll be 26 percent higher than last year. The 2015-16 fiscal year, ...continues on page 11

ically to street maintenance, and allow that to grow at the same rate that the tourism receipts come in?”

BUDGET CUTS VS. REALITY

Revenue from a pot tax is also a viable source, he says. “Currently weed is taxed at 25 percent, but next year the state will reduce that percentage to 17 percent. We have the option to add another 3 percentage points back. We could get roughly $340,000 a year extra revenue for streets—pot for potholes— and cannabis consumers would still get a tax cut!”

Noting compelling growth numbers in both the Transient Room Tax revenue, as well as Bend’s rapidly rising taxable assessed value, Chudowsky feels tourism and the boomtown growth is Bend’s ticket to drive without a tax at the pump.

King takes a more conservative view, saying that this past year was a fortunate one, but future solutions are needed to prevent cuts that compromise other essential services’ budgets.

“We’re so tightly constrained with resources,” he reflected. “We’re always in this reactive mode, unfortunately, to these issues. We can barely keep the roads up. Our police and fire are stretched thin.”

To make ends meet this time around, he says, “We made some cuts to citywide administrative support…We cut some programs within streets and redirected it to maintenance. So we filled about $785,000 of that gap. To meet the goal (this year), we’re going to wait to see what kind of tourist season we have.”

LONG TERM FUNDING SOLUTIONS MORE PEOPLE AND POT AND POTHOLES Despite different viewpoints, Chudowsky and King both agree that sustained funding will be needed to continue fixing and improving Bend’s roads. Chudowsky believes Bend’s growing assessable tax base and tourism dollars, combined with a new revenue opportunity from marijuana, will remedy the gap long term.

“We’re in this situation where tourism is growing beyond anybody’s expectations. Right now, we’re getting close to $6 million per year in room tax revenue. Why not take the path of that, along with some other sources of savings that we found, devote it specif-

the budgeted amount was $1.8 million; from these other sources, we found another $3.4 million.”

Make your home work for you.

WHO’S DRIVING THE BUS? TRANSIT SERVICE DISTRICT King believes removing transit from the General Fund with a separate funding levy seems to be the best longterm solution, freeing up just enough from the budget to bring sustainability to street funding.

“Transit could be that solution. It could provide a little more breathing room in the fund, three percent, about $1.5 million. If we can get that OUT of the general fund, and the voters approve a special transit district, that’s the way to get around (Propositions) 5 and 50.

You can take a chunk of your service and put it out for a new taxing district.

The county has been aggressive, in the 90s, as they saw measures 5 and 50 coming. They chunked out their services into separate taxing districts.”

King also says that funding a separate transit district would support the City’s long-range vision for a multi-modal community, revealing a side of the City’s intent that some may not pause to consider: livability and interconnectedness. The City’s long-term goal is creating a dispersed, grid road system that creates more movement and more connection.

With a booming tourism season already underway, voters may be content to kick the can down the road—and swerve around the potholes—a little bit longer.

SUPER DIAMOND

TOUR DES CHUTES

TRIBUTE BAND—Neil Diamond is the man. You know this, we know this. So, if you’re feeling the need for some rock-hard Diamond shine, Super Diamond is one of the best tribute bands out there. As part of the Munch and Music free concert series, the combination of good food and free music is the means to a perfect summer night. // 5:30pm, Drake Park, 777 NW Riverside Blvd., Bend. Free.

SPIN DOCTORS—Supporting cancer survivors as well as those currently fighting is a benefit we can get behind.

This longtime community event includes a 5k run/walk through NorthWest Crossing as well as a chooseyour-own-distance bike ride ranging from 7 to 100 miles. See tourdeschutes. org for event times and prices. // NorthWest Crossing, 2762 NW Crossing Dr., Bend.

BUBBA SPARXXX

HOUSE OF SHEM

THAT’S A RAP—He’s a rapper from Georgia who was discovered at a Georgia football game. Now he has national acclaim with “Ms. New Booty” featuring the Ying Yang Twins.

This revolutionary song is darned near art itself, climbing to #7 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Now he is traveling to Bend to share its glory. // 8 pm, Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend. $17.

ROOTS REGGAE—If there’s one thing Bend gets plenty of, it’s reggae shows.

What makes House of Shem stand out from the pack? Aside from the band hailing from New Zealand, the legendary Errol Brown produces their music.

Brown worked with Bob Marley, Tosh, Ziggy and many more, so his influence is felt in their sound. // 8pm, Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $12.

GUITAR GOD—The legend of Buckethead (Brian Carroll) is dense and disturbing. Ignore the Wikipedia entry about Carroll and focus on the story of Buckethead.

All origins stories aside, he is an enigmatic, genius multi-instrumentalist. // 8pm, Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend. $26-$37.25.

FUNK—A genuine New Orleans Mardis Gras Indians group that combines heritage with Second Line street level jazz/ funk. It’s rare for Central Oregon to get these authentic Second Line groups, so this is one of those shows that would be a shame to miss. They’ll bring the funk just as long as you wear your boogie shoes. // 9pm, Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $8 adv., $10 door.

unch and Music is like that relative you only visit for a few days out of the year, but don’t realize how much you miss until you know they’re gone for a while. The weekly summer event has become a Bend institution in the 26 years it has been going with carefully curated bands, food, artist booths and events.

middle of exploding, so catch them now while you can.

This year, each headlining band has an opener, leading to even more music for the weekly festival. A lot of the rules are the same. The two most important being: 1) Don’t bring your own beer, but you can roam freely with the beer you purchase and 2) No dogs allowed.

July 21: The English Beat & The Lower 48: The English Beat are the original ska grandfathers. Formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England, The Beat

The Coffis Brothers hail from the Santa Cruz Mountains and blend folk, R&B, blues and rock to make a funky fusion of Neil Young and The Avett Brothers.

These guys are a perfect blend with The Honeydrops.

Here is a brief look at the bands playing Munch and Music this year and what to expect from one of their shows.

July 14: California Honeydrops & The Coffis Brothers: The Honeydrops are a bluesy R&B band out of Oakland.

They incorporate old-timey instruments like the gutbucket bass, jug and washboard into their sound, giving them a modern New Orleans-style fusion of jazzy blues. The Honeydrops are in the

Aug. 11: Devon Allman Band & Redwood Son: Devon Allman (son of Gregg) played for a decade with Honeytree and Royal Southern Brotherhood before launching solo work. His live sound would fit well in a whiskey-coated Southern juke joint as well as it will on the Central Oregon stage.

Redwood Son’s music fits squarely into the Americana roots genre, but with some good old-fashioned country heartbreak lyrics. With their first record released last April, Redwood Son should definitely have some staying power.

World's Finest and Tony Smiley, 7/28.

five-piece mixes ska, dub, reggae, bluegrass and more to create an electric live show. They’ve become so popular lately

is behind some of the finest ska tracks in history. “Mirror in the Bathroom,” “I Confess,” “Tears of a Clown” and “Save it for Later” are guaranteed ear worms that won’t leave your head for days.

The Lower 48 is a beautiful mash-up of sounds that wouldn’t seem congruous.

With influences like Fleet Foxes, Simon & Garfunkle and Sufjan Stevens, The Lower 48 is a hybrid band filled with gorgeous harmonies.

July 28: World’s Finest & Tony Smiley: World’s Finest have blown up in Bend lately, playing almost every festival around. Straight out of Portland, the

Tony Smiley has been on the Bend music radar for years as a one-man band, multi-instrumentalist madman. There is nothing quite like watching Tony Smiley play and every year his musical vocabulary expands massively.

Aug. 4: The Quick and Easy Boys & Jive Coulis: A power trio out of Portland, The Quick and Easy Boys mix garage pop, psych rock and funk for an eclectic combination. The word “fun” seems too easy to describe their sound, but it perfectly encapsulates the funkytonk trio. One live show from these three and you’ll be hooked.

Jive Coulis is another three-piece, but this time out of Southern Oregon.

They mix original songs with covers so effortlessly that it is easy to imagine their versions as the originals. They have a classic, Southern band sound that plays perfectly in outdoor festivals.

Redwood Son with Devon Allman, 8/11.

2016’s Munch and Music lineup is solid and respectable. Bend is a town with almost a constant schedule of art walks, festivals and events, but this attention to detail is what separates Munch and Music from the pack. SW

Behind the Mask

The legend of Buckethead lives on

By Jared Rasic

17

W

riting a story about Buckethead is like trying to do an expose on the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot.

People know Buckethead exists and that he has a real name, but he hasn’t done an interview in a decade and doesn't talk to many people in general. I knew a phone or Skype interview would be out of the question, so I spent a few weeks trying to get a few emailed questions in front of him, but to no avail.

According to legend, Buckethead was born Brian Patrick Carroll on May 13, 1969, in Southern California. Even his birthdate isn’t a given; this is information gleaned from music videos and interviews given in the late 1980s.

Buckethead was a shy kid who was into martial arts movies, comic books and slasher flicks. He picked up a guitar as a teenager while also studying classical and music theory, and within a few years became a guitar prodigy. Even as he became a virtuosic musician, the shyness from his childhood never left him.

After watching “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers” he ran out and purchased a similar white mask.

That same night he was eating a bucket of fried chicken and inspiration hit him.

In a 1996 interview with Guitar Player magazine he described the experience: “I was eating it and I put the mask on and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said, ‘Buckethead.

That’s Buckethead right there.’ It was just one of those things. After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time.”

Since the birth of Buckethead, he has become one of—if not THE—most prolific musicians on the planet. Aside from his stint in Guns N' Roses, he has played with such diverse musicians as Iggy Pop, Bootsy Collins, Primus, Bill Laswell and Tony Williams. He’s

done the score for not only Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Last Action Hero,” but also “Beverly Hills Ninja.” If that’s not enough, in 2015 he released 118 solo albums.

Buckethead’s legend is that of a slasher flick villain. His website (which seems designed by a demented mad scientist) lays out his origin story as one of loneliness and horror. Raised in a chicken coop where his face was eventually pecked off by his poultry family, he was forced to wear the mask to disguise his hideous scars. With every year that he declines all interviews, the mystery of Buckethead doesn’t so much deepen as solidify.

Buckethead’s sound ranges from speed metal to ambient jazz back around to funky and through the gates into ‘80’s-infused chordal hair rock. I listened to five of his albums before writing this article and, while his sound is always very distinctive, the shifting genres and gleeful exploration of sound keep each album hypnotic.

If Buckethead had responded to my email, I had some probing questions for him, such as, “What are the three best ways to use chicken wire?” and “Do you pay attention to your fingernails?” I know what it’s like to be a shy kid into comics and gore, and I think we would have had a good chat. But I’m also glad he didn’t respond because, even though it would have made a good story, a peek behind the mask would have only been for my benefit and not his. He is making art completely on his own terms and that, in itself, is a damn good story. SW Buckethead Friday, July 8, 8pm Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend $26-$37.25

Ninth Annual Harvest Writing Contest

ART WATCH

By Annette Benedetti

Talent knows no age

By Annette Benedetti

29

“A Community of Artists” Gives Back to the Local Art Community Central Oregon is a region rich with artistic talent, and now visitors to the area will be able to browse the work of local creative types in a new 64-page catalogue. Sisters Folk Festival (SFF) recently launched “A Community of Artists,” a new print publication featuring 100 artists who work in a wide variety of mediums, and are largely from the Central Oregon area.

Past winners of the Harvest Writing Contest want you to submit an entry.

T

his year, Oregon writers of all ages have the opportunity to have their work recognized. On June 1, Central Oregon Writers Guild (COWG) began accepting entries for its annual Harvest Writing Contest. With the contest heading into its ninth year, the guild decided to make some changes and is inviting writers 18 years and younger to submit their work and compete alongside their older peers.

Traditionally, the Harvest Writing Contest offered fiction, nonfiction, and poetry contest categories to adult writers living in the Central Oregon area.

COWG President Ruth Colter says, “The writing contest was implemented when the guild was a young organization. The intent was then, and still is to encourage writers to share their work as well as offer an opportunity for writers to get feedback from judges.”

Last year the contest began accepting submissions from writers throughout Oregon. This year, it has expanded even further with the addition of three youth categories and will be accepting fiction, nonfiction, and poetry submissions from contestants less than 18 years of age.

“We want to let young writers know that Central Oregon Writers Guild is here to encourage and support them in developing their writing skills,” says Colter.

COGW also recently partnered with Barnes and Noble and is hosting free writing workshops for local teens.

Formerly referred to as the Redmond Writers, COWG was officially formed in 2002 by a small group of women writers and president and founder Cindy Prescher. The organization traditionally hosted a Harvest Evening Reading each fall where writers read their best work, but when the concept for a writing contest was suggested, it opened up the opportunity for a more formal event.

In 2008, COWG member Lindy Jacobs pitched the idea for the Harvest Writing Contest and it was well received and encouraged by Prescher. “The contest was launched to recognize excellent writing and encourage emerging writers in our area,” says Jacobs.

Feedback from the handpicked group of judges is valuable to all writers submitting their work. Each judge is chosen for his or her skill set in the field of writing and the panel is made up of seasoned editors, publishers, writers, and writing coaches.

Last year the Harvest Writing Contest received more than 50 entries and is expected to potentially double in numbers. Entries will be accepted until Aug. 16. All submissions must be original, previously unpublished works under 1,200 words in length. The full list of guidelines can be found online at centraloregonwritersguild.com.

First-place winners of the adult and youth categories in all three genres will win $100 cash prizes. First, second, and

third-place entries will be published in the Central Oregon Writers Guild 2016 Harvest Writing Contest Winners Collection, and will be given a complimentary copy of the annually published book. This prestigious collection is available in both print and digital format and can be found at COWG meetings, workshops and on Amazon.

Judging ends on Sept. 16 and contest winners of the Harvest Writing Contest will be notified in early October. The Winners Showcase event will be held on Oct. 22 at the Hampton Inn and Suites, where writers placing first and second will read their winning entries, and a silent auction featuring items donated by local merchants and guild supporters will be held. Winning authors have the opportunity to be featured in author presentations and readings that take place in Central Oregon bookstores and other area venues. SW Winners Showcase Event Oct. 22 Hampton Inn and Suites Bend, 730 SW Columbia St., Bend Central Oregon Writers Guild Meetings held monthly, Third Thursday, 6:30pm Aspen Ridge 1010 NE Purcell Blvd., Bend Free and open to the public centraloregonwritersguild.com Teen Writing Workshops July 17, 11am Barnes and Noble 2690 NE Hwy 20, Bend

According to Sisters Folk Festival director Ann Richardson, the publication was created to promote the artists who have supported Sisters Folk Festival by donating their work to the organization’s annual fundraiser, My Own Two Hands. “Many of these artists have donated to us year after year, giving us some of their best work, valued in the thousands of dollars,” says Richardson.

Paige Bruguier is one of the notable artists featured in the publication. She originally donated a custom-designed tipi for auction, but the bidding over it was so fierce that she agreed to make two more, and ultimately three were auctioned off. She has her own art studio in Sisters and recently launched her business Redbottom Tipis (redbottomtipi.com). An image of her donated Tipi can be seen on the cover of the new publication.

Richardson sees “A Community of Artists” as a way of thanking the local art community. It features a map of galleries in Sisters along with information about each contributing artist, a picture of their donated artwork, and their contact information and gallery representation. “It is our intention to make it an annual publication,” she says.

“A Community of Artists” can be found in Sisters art galleries, restaurants, and lodging properties, at the High Desert Museum, at the Central Oregon Visitors Association, and in the Chambers of Commerce in Sisters, Redmond, Bend, and Sunriver. SW

Boswell Guitars opens in Bend

B

utch Boswell had been repairing guitars for more than 15 years before he built his first acoustic guitar. Since he had spent so many years taking them apart and putting them back together, Boswell knew exactly the kinds of guitars he wanted to make. He started with old growth wood and hot hide glue, crafting the instruments in small batches of just two or three guitars at a time.

After opening a retail space in Sisters recently, Boswell decided Bend would be a much better fit for Boswell guitars, and he plans to open his new space on Franklin Avenue on July 5. We chatted with Boswell to find out his history with guitars, his love of the instrument and more.

Source Weekly: How did you get started with the refurbishing and rebuilding of guitars?

Butch Boswell: I got started in guitar repair while I was going to school for Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (California). I needed a job, and I was already a guitar enthusiast, so I asked if I could help around the small, but popular local shop, Blue Note Music. Since then, I have run multiple full-service shops, worked at Taylor Guitars in Southern

California, managed and run the repair shop for Rudy’s Music Stop in New York City, and ran my own shop in California successfully for the past 10 years. That leads me to where I am now.

SW: Did repairing guitars naturally lead to the creation of them?

BB: Guitar repair does sometimes lead one to guitar building, but often times the two don’t really coincide. I know plenty of guitar repair people that don’t build, and on the flip side of the coin, more than a few guitar builders that don’t (and shouldn’t) repair. After years of doing both, I am completely convinced that being a good builder does not mean you’re good at repair. On the other hand, if you are well-versed in repair, building should come pretty naturally.

SW: What inspired moving the business from Sisters to Bend?

BB: Bend was always where I wanted to have the shop. We live in Bend, our kids go to school in Bend, and we shop in Bend. Sisters is a great place, but not for starting a new business as specialized as mine. If I had been in Bend for the last 15 years then moved to Sisters, I would probably have customers driving out to

get their guitars worked on. However, as the new guy in town, and essentially starting from scratch, Bend is a much more logical fit.

SW: What do you hope your guitars achieve for the musicians that buy them?

BB: The guitars that I build are a true labor of love. So much of myself goes into each one of them. They need to be light and delicate, yet strong and resilient. They have to walk that line between being a truly fine instrument built to last a lifetime and beyond, and self-destruction. Built too heavy, too strong, and it won’t sound good. Built too light, and the guitar will pull itself apart over time. My guitars have to inspire. They have to elevate musicians to new levels. I am able to strive for all of this because I don’t build hundreds of guitars a year. I build upwards of a dozen in a year. I don’t have a standard model.

Each one is custom made for a particular person with particular needs and goals. SW Boswell Guitars 15 NW Franklin Ave., Unit B, Bend 541-719-1289 boswellguitars.com

Cody’s Catering & Cookshack brings BBQ to the Century Center

LITTLE BITES

Pasta House Bar and Grill The Pasta House Bar and Grill opened its doors in early May on the south side of Bend. Owner Chip Simmons, proprietor of the Pour House, says he felt it was time to share his love of classic Italian fare with his Bend neighbors. “I have always loved pasta and Italian food. My memories of special occasions while growing up in New York are of going out to an Italian restaurant, and that feeling of fun and celebration stuck with me,” he says. “Bend just needed an approachable, classic Italian restaurant.”

Simmons holds dear to those fond memories and tries to replicate the feeling in his new establishment. “I believe we have built a great place for a romantic dinner or to gather with your friends and family for a good meal and a glass of wine,” he says.

The menu includes fettuccine alfredo, angel hair crab pasta, a chicken pesto parmesan sandwich and steaks. Visit them online for a sneak peek at the menu or go investigate for yourself.

or Cody Serbus, making tasty BBQ for the ravenous masses is more than just meat, fire, serve.

The owner of Cody’s Catering & Cookshack food truck in the Century Center near GoodLife Brewery says, “BBQ is a mix between science and just having that right touch. Believe me, I’ve had my fair share of growing pains over the years, but I feel like I know what tastes good, and if I don’t like it, I am not going to serve it to someone else.”

best BBQ, but Serbus doesn’t take sides.

Having sampled Cody’s ribs at Bite of Bend in June, I can confirm that his taste buds are in excellent working order. I still fantasize about the way the meat managed to hold onto the bone just long enough to make it to my mouth before melting on my tongue. This is high-quality, next-level, holy-crap-I-need-a-nap-no-maybejust-one-more-rib kind of professional BBQ.

I must concur about the Cuban. I had one, and I’m still flying high on smoked and fried pork, applewood smoked ham, melted Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and aioli enveloped by a toasted French roll just thick enough to soak up the juices, but thin enough to let the filling be the star.

There has always been a great debate over which region of the U.S. has the

“I would like to think that I have several different styles of BBQ, from Santa Maria Style (cooking tri-tips over an open pit), Texas smoking (smoking briskets for up to 14 hours), and even those midwest St. Louis Pork Ribs,” he says. “Some flavors are even breaking out of the U.S. with a tasty South American chimichurri sauce and a Cuban sandwich that hasn’t let anyone down.”

Other offerings include BBQ chicken, smoked tri-tip Caesar, an anything but classic club sandwich (or wrap), and a pulled pork sandwich. Zach Miller,

who works across from Cody’s at Pack Ship & More, has already established a favorite menu item. “It’s the burnt ends sandwich. It’s killer. Best barbecue in town,” he says.

As the name suggests, Cody’s also does catering. “I love to bring out my BBQ to a wedding reception or a company event,” he says. “I enjoy being a part of something special.”

As far as I’m concerned, Cody’s food truck is already a part of something special: my regular lunch plans. You’ll find me in line for his swine at Munch & Music and Summerfest. SW

T

he Bier Stein, located off Willamette Street about a mile from the U of O campus in Eugene, is a veritable shrine to good beer. Originally opened in somewhat cramped quarters in 2005, the bar/restaurant/bottle shop moved to much larger digs three years ago, expanding to offer thousands of bottles and some of the best beer you can get along the I-5 corridor - including a lot of stuff unavailable in Bend, such as the wheaty Oberon ale from Bell’s in Michigan.

Neighborhood Beer Stroll The Beer Stein is ground zero for Eugene’s beer scene, which is impressively large, filled with both old mainstays and a litany of places that just opened up within the last year or so. Walk a couple blocks north from The Bier Stein to find the Falling Sky brewhouse, a place where the décor is no-frills but the food and drink isn’t. Great sandwiches with local ingredients are the name of the game, punctuated by relatively chill ales like the Bare Hands bitter. (Their beer occasionally shows up at Broken Top Bottle Shop in Bend.) Just a few blocks from there, meanwhile, is 16 Tons Taphouse & Bottleshop, a cozy place that is home to a well-curated bottle list and 18 off-beat taps, including Sunriver’s Blueberry Pancake fruit beer.

West Side Walk The compact nature of Eugene’s west side makes it great for brewery walking

tours. Want to hit the big guys? Travel to the Whiteaker neighborhood, home to Ninkasi, Hop Valley, and Oakshire Brewing, all mainstays in Oregon’s craft brewing scene. Hardcore beerheads might be a bit disappointed that the Ninkasi pub doesn’t offer much that can’t be found in other bars and shops, but the brewery features a lot of scenic outdoor/concert space, making it ideal for people-watching and time-wasting.

The same can be said of Oakshire’s Public House, a wide-open warehouse-type facility with 13 taps and a new beer tapped every Tuesday at 6pm.

River Stumble But let’s not forget about the new guys.

For that, travel closer to the river, where ColdFire Brewing - Eugene’s newest is putting out some really astounding beer, from IPA and stout mainstays to an impressive variety of Berliner weisse and other tart varieties. Then walk south to Sam Bond’s Brewing, in an enormous ex-foundry building that oozes with atmosphere, before wrapping up the evening at Elk Horn Brewery for smoked meats, pleasant ales, and (for the adventurous) Nutella-flavored stout and an extensive whiskey list. In the midst of all this, be sure to stumble into the Tap & Growler, featuring 81 taps of beer, wine, kombucha, and cold-press espresso, all to-go. SW

Irreverent Commentary Makes Bad Movies Hilarious

By Jared Rasic

B

endites who miss Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) are in for a real treat. For those few unfortunate individuals who have never seen the cult classic television show, it starred Joel Hodgson as a janitor trapped on The Satellite of Love by a couple of mad scientists who wanted to rule the world.

Along with his robot friends, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, he was forced to watch terrible B movies every day.

and the host of the upcoming revival, comedian Jonah Ray. Nelson, Murphy and Corbett started the show with “The Talking Car,” a disturbing little short about a young boy dreaming about animated cars giving him safety lessons. The RiffTrax trio turned it into a horror show as the cars got more deranged and disturbing.

Another highlight was Beaulieu and Conniff riffing on “More Dates For Kay,” a darkly strange little short about a teenage girl going to extremes in order to meet lots of boys. An excellent running theme of the night was the comedians taking on sexist and dated shorts and inverting them to show the ludicrousness of the ideas.

Each episode would show Joel, Crow and Tom Servo in silhouette at the bottom of the screen as they watched the entire film, cracking wise at whatever garbage they were watching. Over the course of the series, the show went from KTMA in Minneapolis to Comedy Central (known as The Comedy Network) and then finally to The Sci-Fi Channel.

During that time, there was also some cast turnover, with Joel being replaced as host by head writer Mike Nelson halfway through season five. Frank Conniff and Trace Beaulieu (the mad scientists) eventually left, while writers Mary Jo Pehl, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy took larger roles.

The show ran for 197 episodes over a decade until its cancellation in 1999. Nelson, Corbett and Murphy then created RiffTrax, where they recorded riffing commentary tracks not just for B movies, but blockbusters as well. Hodgson, Pehl,

"Mystery Science Theater 3000" is even funnier than you remember.

Beaulieu and Conniff started Cinematic Titanic, a touring version that followed the same basic template of making fun of bad movies.

backers. Hodgson hasn’t announced what platform the new episodes will arrive on, but they are coming. Sooner, rather than later.

Rumor had it everyone involved hated each other, and there was no chance of a revival one day. Then last year, Hodgson launched a Kickstarter to bring back a revival of MST3K, which raised more than $5 million from over 48,000

To celebrate the revival (and also to prove that all the MST3K crew members still like each other), RiffTrax threw a live MST3K Reunion Show featuring Hodgson, Nelson, Pehl, Murphy, Beaulieu, Conniff, Corbett, Bridgette Jones Nelson

It ain’t really a murder party unless everyone is terrified!

Y

ou had one job, “The Purge: Election Year,” just one. You either needed to be a schlocky gorefest that painted America as a candy-colored nightmare of xenophobia and fear or a smartly satirical look at the worst case scenario of Trump’s America. You failed at both, “Purge,” and I hope you feel bad about it.

The scenario is simple. For 12 hours, one night a year, all crime is legal. Some people use the night for revenge. Rich white folk hide behind their thick steel gates, and bad folks dress up like it’s Halloween and throw murder parties.

The first movie failed at its own premise by focusing on an upper class white family whose home is invaded by some psychotic preppy teenagers.

“The Purge: Anarchy” ventured outside and showed us a nameless badass on the hunt for the man who killed his child.

Nameless Badass got sidetracked and ended up helping people instead.

“The Purge: Election Year” sees the nameless badass (now called Leo) as the security chief for Sen. Charlene Roan, a presidential hopeful who is campaigning on ending the Purge. There is also a shady mix of Old White Men called the Founding Fathers who are pushing their own candidate, Minister Owens, a religious zealot who believes The Purge is God’s will.

Thrown into the mix are wisecracking deli owner Joe, his newly naturalized assistant Marcos, and ex-killer/current EMT Laney. They team up with Leo to protect Roan, as she might be the only hope for a future without The Purge.

With a cast made up of mostly people of color, a premise built around taking the piss out of politicians using religion as a

weapon and the timing of this current political climate, this film should have been a slam-dunk. Most people go into “The Purge” movies expecting some intense action and violence, but all the chances to mount a criticism against xenophobia and ignorance are basically wasted. The film could easily have been both smart AND bloody without alienating either audience.

The largest problem is that the script is too sloppy for any attempt at deep social commentary to land. As a thriller it’s too poorly paced to be intense, as a horror movie it’s toothless, and there are too many CGI explosions and blood splatters to work as an action movie.

The characters are inconsistently written, so all of their choices feel as if they are in service to the script instead of themselves.

As our characters drive through the streets seeing people with terrifying masks and killing each other in bizarre and macabre ways, it’s hard not to wish we were following those stories instead.

Violent unpredictability is what makes these movies work, yet the entire film feels like a haunted house with a very specific path we’re forced to walk through.

There are a couple of fun jump scares and dozens of great ideas, but they are all in service of a lazily constructed, forgettable piece of cinema. Even with all the solid performances, “The Purge: Election Year” will be forgotten as quickly as the current news cycle. SW The Purge: Election Year Dir.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE: A buddy comedy/action flick starring The Rock and Kevin Hart seems like something that should have existed years ago. Kevin Hart plays a regular Joe who gets sucked into an old high school friend’s current spy lifestyle. Even in the very worst of movies, The Rock is always worth watching. Combining his oversized charisma with Kevin Hart’s unhinged energy should hopefully make for a comedy classic.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

benefit of the doubt it’s Steven Spielberg.

Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, The BFG tells the story of a young girl and her adventures with a big, friendly giant. The book was surprisingly dark for a children’s novel, so hopefully the film finds a tonal balance between the seriousness of some of the subject matter and the lightheartedness Spielberg has been bringing to his films over the last decade. Either way, the film will be a visual marvel. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

FINDING DORY: Pixar waited 13 years to release a sequel to one if its most beloved films, so we can only hope it will reach the original’s greatness. With “Cars 2,” Pixar proved it wasn’t infallible when it came to their sequels, but after last year’s masterpiece “Inside Out,” it seems like they’re on a bit of a creative hot streak. Let’s hope it will be more than just “cute” and reach the emotional highs of “Inside Out,” “Toy Story 3” and “Up.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Conaughey has had a career resurgence that rivals that of John Travolta in “Pulp Fiction.”

The difference being that McConaughey is always fun to watch, even in garbage. “Free State of Jones” has good intentions and could have been an excellent movie under an auteur’s hands, but director Gary Ross spent too long making “Hunger Games” movies to have the proper eye for the subject matter.

McConaughey plays Newt Knight, a Southern farmer who rebelled against the Confederacy by becoming a leader of guerrilla soldiers.

Tread lightly on this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE:

and expertly crafted, “The Conjuring 2” almost equals the original in excellence. This one follows Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren to Enfield, England, where they square off against an angry poltergeist that may be more than it seems. Fans of the first one should love this just as much. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN: The timing for this film isn’t the best,as most of the marketing campaign is focusing on women as damsels in distress and Tarzan as a white savior helping the indigenous. Director David Yates knocked the last few “Harry Potter” movies out of the park, so hopefully his experienced eye will also bring some subtlety to a story that might not play very well in 2016.

If the film is entertaining as a goofy throwback, then hopefully it won’t play as culturally insensitive or too old-fashioned. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE MEDDLER: Susan Sarandon plays a lonely, aging widow who follows her daughter to Los Angeles in the hopes of reigniting her life. She first meddles in her daughter’s life, only to find that there are many other people who need her help as well. This is a heartfelt dramedy that actually plays much better than it sounds. Tin Pan Theater

The thing that made the original “Independence Day” so much fun was watching Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum—who have completely opposing chemistry—bounce off of each other flawlessly while big landmarks exploded beautifully. Goldblum returns for the new film, but Smith’s character died between movies, so he’s replaced with Liam Hemsworth. A bunch of stuff still blows up.

Two problems: 1) Hemsworth is no Will Smith, and 2) We’ve seen a lot of things blow up beautifully in the intervening years since the original film. This sequel will need to offer something novel to jaded moviegoers if it doesn’t want to be ignored. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR: The third film in the series of fun action/horror flicks where for 12 hours once a year, all crime is legal. The original was a home invasion flick.

The sequel showed the action on the streets, and “Election Year” should delve fully into violent political satire. Hopefully, the film will subtly take the current political climate to task without fully delving into preachy commentary. Regardless, the film should be fast-paced, funny, and awfully bloody. See full review, p 35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

NOW YOU SEE ME 2: The original “Now

THE SHALLOWS: This is being hailed as

You See Me” piled on twist after twist until the story didn’t make sense anymore. Now we see The Four Horsemen take their magic tricks globally to expose unlawful practices of a tech magnate. These movies exist in an alternative universe where magicians can save the world, so expect some goofy, plot-driven fun. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SWISS ARMY MAN: This film came out of Sundance known almost exclusively as “Daniel Radcliffe’s Farting Corpse Movie.” While that is true to a large extent, “Swiss Army Man” is also a poignant examination of loneliness, mental illness, and love. The hype for this one is fairly large and expectations are high, so hopefully Radcliffe, Paul Dano and the directors have something more up their sleeve to keep the non Sundance crowd entertained.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BFG: The trailers for this aren’t exactly mind-blowing, but if anyone deserves our

the best shark movie since “Jaws,” and since that is one of the few perfect movies ever made, that’s saying something. “The Shallows” sees Blake Lively as a surfer stuck on a rock in shallow water as a shark circles, waiting for the tide to come in. The trailers are gorgeous, the plot is tight and focused, and Lively is genuinely a talented actor, so full-blown excitement for this one seems like a good call.

Wade into this one; the water’s fine. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WEINER: A funny and fascinating documentary about the personal and professional collapse of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner during his 2013 NYC Mayoral bid. You might remember his highly publicized sexting scandal. Most critics are calling this the “Must-see documentary of the year,” which is high praise in a year with such a powerful slate of non-fiction films being released.

Riders compete to finish 100-mile bike race 37

W

ith its mix of mountainous terrain and high desert flatlands, Bend is a mountain biker’s paradise. The trails here offer a variety of challenges and sights, and their abundance makes it easy for riders to spend at least a week exploring all of them. Or, they can compete in The High Cascades 100 and see them all in one day.

Ripley said the front of the field is extremely competitive.

The High Cascades 100 is a 100-mile mountain bike race that loops from the Bend Athletic Club to Mt. Bachelor.

On July 16, hundreds of racers will ride anywhere from 8 to 14 hours in an endurance test that will elevate them a combined 9,700 feet and twist them through Lava Lake, Skyliners and Edison Snow Park, to name a few locales.

Among those skilled riders is local star Serena Bishop, who last year took first in the women’s open category and 12th overall with a time of 8 hours and 32 minutes.

“I try to make it really hard the first 50 miles, so there’s a lot more climbing in the front, and then the end of it is just quintessential Bend,” said Mike Ripley, the event’s organizer.

Ripley and his family run Mudslinger Events, an outdoor recreation group that organizes and promotes race events around Central Oregon, including the Mudslinger XC and the Sisters Stampede. Ripley started the High Cascades 100 in 2009, and he’s seen it grow from 80 riders in its first year, to almost 300 riders last year.

“So many people come from so many different places,” he said. “It’s mind-boggling the people that come from different states - different countries even - for this event.”

The race is also part of the National Ultra Endurance Series, a league that scores riders based on their performance in 15 select high-mile races.

“The top 10 to 15 finishers are usually the first-place riders at their local events,” he said. “It’s really unique to get this many people that are good riders. And that helps with so many things, from accidents to trail damage to anything. These are really skilled riders.”

“I had a magical day on the bike,” she said of her performance. “You train really hard, and those races where everything falls into place and you’re in the zone the whole race are few and far between. Last year was definitely one of those days.”

This will be Bishop’s fifth year competing in the High Cascades 100, and she hopes to do even better this year.

“I wanted to go under 8:30 last year, so I want to do that this year,” she said.

“I’d like to be top ten overall and have a good clean race.”

Prepping for the race is its own endurance test: Bishop rides for at least eight hours every weekend, and focuses intensely on her nutrition and hydration.

“There’s no taking it easy for me,” she said. “Anyone can do it” While Bishop and other competitors are there to win, most participants are there simply to cross the finish line and experience the Bend trails. Bishop compared it to running a marathon.

“For a lot of people, it’s more about

experiencing the event than it is about racing it,” Bishop said. “So much of the accomplishment is crossing that finish line. It doesn’t matter if they’re in fourth or fortieth.”

Last month Bishop held a presentation about the basics of endurance racing for amateur riders interested in completing races like the High Cascades 100. “Anyone can do it,” she said. “If you wanted to ride it and you put together a plan for 2017, you could totally do it.”

The race is also a good advertisement for Bend mountain biking. Ripley sees a lot of families and friends of all skill levels ride together, which isn’t always possible in other places, he said.

“Most of the trails around town are close to the intermediate level. That’s what makes Bend really killer; you can bring your whole family for a bike ride.”

Ripley joked, “I swear this event has sold 25 houses since I started it. People come back, and I’m like, ‘Hey, you made the trip out,’ and they’re like, ‘No, we bought a house.’”

At the end of the day, Ripley wants the event to be fun for everyone, and he hopes to see the race and the sport continue to grow.

“There’s really nothing else like it,” he said. “It’s a fun time. Especially the last person who finishes late at night; that’s always a good time.”

The High Cascades 100 starts at 5:30am at the Bend Athletic Club on Saturday, July 16. For more information about the event, visit highcascades100.com. SW

NATURAL WORLD

Mercury in Our Air, Water, Soil and Fish

By Jim Anderson

I

n April of this year the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) issued a warning about consuming too many bass found to be contaminated with excessive amounts of mercury in fish tissue sampled from a number of water bodies across the state.

because it accumulates in fish, eating fish is the way most people are exposed to mercury in the environment. It can also cause a range of toxic effects to fish, aquatic life and wildlife.

Mercury primarily affects a warm-blooded animal’s nervous system and is particularly dangerous for infants and young children, whose nervous systems will continue to develop through adolescence. For developing fetuses, it can be even worse. Mercury can be passed from mother to fetus, resulting in potentially serious effects, such as brain damage, mental handicaps, blindness, seizures, and speech problems. Babies born to mothers who have elevated mercury levels may have developmental issues and learning disabilities.

Dave Farrer, Ph.D., toxicologist in the Environmental Public Health Section at the OHA Public Health Division, said, “Fish are an important part of a healthy diet, especially migratory fish like salmon, steelhead and trout. The elevated mercury levels we’re talking about in bass are of concern to us, but there are some simple steps people can take to reduce their exposure to mercury when consuming bass.”

Like it or not, bass are alien trash fish in Oregon. According to research conducted by Rick Moberly, Fish Biologist with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, largemouth bass were introduced illegally into Crane Prairie in the late 1970s or early 1980s. ODFW had nothing to do with their sudden appearance, and first found them while electrofishing in May 1986.

It’s the same with Davis Lake: their presence wasn’t confirmed by ODFW until 1995. It’s assumed all the other state-wide bass introductions are also the results of anglers who just wanted to fish for bass in Oregon, without any regard for the impact of their selfish desires on native fisheries and the aquatic ecosystem.

Bass are considered a top predator, eating other mercury-contaminated fish within an ecosystem; therefore, the longer bass live, the more mercury they accumulate.

They are found across the state in many popular fishing waters. Unfortunately, the state does not have enough data to warrant a statewide advisory.

OHA, however, recommends the following monthly meal allowances for bass from all water bodies across the state, including river systems: General population—Limit consumption to no more than six meals per month.

At-risk populations (pregnant women and children)—limit consumption to no more than two meals per month.

A meal is about the size and thickness of your hand; for children, a meal is about the size and thickness of a child’s hand.

For a list of water bodies with an existing advisory, see the advisory table at HealthOregon.org/fishadv. People should follow the recommended meal allowanc-

Yep, that’s a beauty all right, but is it safe to eat? Photo by Sue Anderson.

es for fish from these individual water bodies, rather than the statewide meal allowance of six and two.

Where does the mercury come from?

Contrary to popular belief, it is not a foreign element to the ecosystems of Earth; it occurs naturally in deposits throughout the world, mostly as cinnabar. During WWII cinnabar mines were as common as pot smokers in Bend. Mining claims could be found all up and down the Bear Creek Country, out on the Great Sandy Desert, and in other locations throughout Oregon.

That’s because mercury was a much sought-after element in the manufacture of triggers for bombs dropped by Allied bombers on targets in Italy, Germany, Japan and other enemy installations. It was also used in the manufacture of electrical switches, and no one knows precisely how much cinnabar/mercury from the old tailings went down the nearby creeks and into nearby water storage facilities and fishing holes.

Mercury was once used exclusively in thermometers, barometers, float switches, relays and fluorescent lamps, but concerns over the element’s toxicity changed things dramatically.

And now we get to the nitty-gritty of this discussion: serious mercury-poisoning can result from exposure to water-soluble forms of mercury (such as mercuric chloride or methyl mercury), by breathing it

in as a vapor or by ingesting any form of it—which brings us to mercury in fish.

Back in 1994 the Oregon Health Division advised anglers to limit the intake (eating) of fish from several bodies of water within the state. Antelope, Owyhee, and Brownlee Reservoirs, stretches of the Columbia, Snake and Willamette Rivers, and East Lake were among the bodies of water containing fish that tested high in mercury levels.

East Lake’s fish tested positive, while Paulina Lake’s fish did not. The source of mercury in East Lake fish is natural, likely due to the volcanic nature of Newberry Crater, which is still active in this particular body of water. As most of us “old-timers” know, there are residual hot springs along the shores of East Lake, especially at the site of the once famous East Lake Spa of the early 1900s. It is indeed possible that those hot springs are the main source of mercury in East Lake.

The status of mercury in East Lake today is anyone’s guess, because the water has not been tested in many years. However, OHS officials believe that, because the source of mercury probably comes from the volcanic vents in the lake, the mercury level hasn’t changed all that much since the 1994 report. That said, you’re on your own if you consume fish from that body of water.

Methyl mercury increases in concentration as it moves up the food chain, and

What’s being done to clean up this mess?

That’s a hard one to answer because the mercury is not only coming from natural sources, but is also getting into our air and water because of human activity.

In fact, humans release thousands of tons of toxic mercury into the environment every year from coal-fired power plants, cement kilns, chlor-alkali plants, trash incinerators, and gold mining. Much of it collects in sediment, where it is converted into toxic methyl mercury and enters the food chain, ending up in the “sport fish” we eat.

In the meantime, things don’t look so good for anglers looking to land a lunker Kokanee, or Atlantic salmon for dinner.

The bigger the fish, the better the chance it has too much methyl mercury for a human to handle. Health advisories from various health agencies suggest keeping little legal fish and putting big ones back.

To muddy the waters further, ODFW recently recommended limiting consumption of all fish but rainbow trout from Emigrant Lake, 20 miles southeast of Medford, due to mercury levels.

Yes, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is on top of the mercury problem with both hands and both feet.

They are identifying waters where fish tissue samples have higher-than-standard mercury levels and adding them to the state’s list of impaired waters. DEQ then collects additional information and conducts analyses to determine the severity and extent of the problem, identifies the sources of mercury, and develops restoration plans to reduce the levels of mercury reaching Oregon’s water ways.

But tax dollars can only go so far. SW

Will Brexit Benefit Our Local Housing Market?

The Wall Street Journal on June 28 reported, “Several lenders posted rates for 30-year, fixed rate mortgages of about 3.5 percent on Monday. The main reason: Investors have flocked to the safety of U.S. Treasuries, pushing interest rates lower as riskier assets such as stocks tumbled.

Mortgage rates tend to move up and down with 10-year Treasury rates, though the relationship isn’t perfect.”

This national effect of lowered interest rates helps our housing market by keeping homes more affordable with lower mortgage interest rates, thus lower monthly payments, which is good news for homebuyers as long as prices stabilize. Several blogs go so far as to say they do not expect Fed interest rate increases to occur in 2016 and that the anticipated Fed increase in June was postponed due to the Brexit vote.

applications. CoreLogic statistics show that 40 percent of homeowners have loans with a rate of 4.5 percent or higher and that refinancing at 3.5 percent would translate to average savings of $90 per month.

RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A COVETED HOME ON OCHOCO RESERVOIR

The other good news for U.S. real estate is that the plunges in 401Ks and stocks make people look to safer investments such as real estate. This is expected to increase demand for high-priced real estate in high-demand markets such as San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles, which may not be good news for buyers of affordable housing, as this increase in demand would likely push up prices in those areas. The good news locally is we are immune from that, and if people have more money in their pockets due to lower monthly housing payments, this translates into more spending, which stimulates our local economy. The other hope is that lower monthly payments will allow more first time homebuyers to enter the market and ease the rental market. SW

ADVICE GODDESS Fasten Your Deceit Belt

—Worried Welcome to Moral High Ground, population: you. Wow, so that’s your real weight on your driver’s license?

The truth is, we all lie—yes, all of us— which is why social psychologist Bella DePaulo explains in her research on lying that people can’t be tossed into “one of two moral bins, one for people who are honest and the other for the liars.” DePaulo explains that you are lying whenever “you intentionally try to mislead someone.” This includes telling your friend “I completely forgot you were performing at the coffeehouse!” or assuring her that her new haircut looks “cool and edgy,” and not like a small animal that got hit by a car.

However, there are different kinds of lies, and the kind your boyfriend told is an “instrumental lie”—a strategic lie people use to take a shortcut to something they want. This kind of lie is common to Machiavellian personalities—schemers who manipulate other people to get their way.

It’s also linked to having crappy relationships, since you can’t very well be close to somebody who’s frequently pretending to be somebody else.

Ruh-roh, huh? Maybe not. Context matters—including why he lied, why he didn’t tell you, and whether his lie has lots of brothers and sisters to keep it company.

If he doesn’t seem to be a big truth shaver, consider that this age fibbie may be a necessary evil—a “cost of doing business” lie.

(In poetry, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty.”

In Hollywood, truth is unemployment.)

Why didn’t he tell you? Maybe because he didn’t tell you, and then he still hadn’t told you, and then it seemed he was way late in telling you. If you don’t see a pattern of lying, maybe this is a sign, not that he’s a terrible person but that he dreaded disappointing you. You and he could even turn this incident into a positive thing—an opportunity to come up with a policy for honesty in your relationship. What’s especially important is making it a safe place for telling the truth—pledging to sit down

I’m a 44-year-old woman who’s been dating a successful actor for a year. When we met, he told me he was 35. Well, in picking up a prescription for him, I discovered he’s actually 42! I’m relieved—but miffed that he lied. I’ve felt uneasy about being so much older (especially because his previous girlfriend was 24). He said he’d been meaning to say something and he was glad I found out. He explained that as an actor, it’s important to be viewed as young. (His agent doesn’t even know his real age.) He seems to be a good person, but I’m wondering what else he’s lied about. I don’t lie, and I don’t want to be with someone who is a liar.

You’ve merely discovered that the guy’s another age, not that there’s another woman—the one he’s always dreamed of being.

Your Place Aura Mine?

I’m a man who respects science and tries to live rationally, and I’m dating this truly great woman who, unfortunately, is into astrology, energy healing, past lives, and other ridiculousness. I try to be open-minded, and I’ve been telling myself, “Hey, people can be different and still be together.” However, she recently told me she’d seen a giant space worm out of the corner of her eye. It was 4 feet tall.

Come on.

—Reasonoid Yes, “people can be different and still be together.” In one case, headphones made this possible—for a sweet guy who cheers up by listening to death metal but fell in love with a woman whose favorite music video scene has the von Trapp children skipping around the Swiss Alps in drapes.

Unfortunately, there’s no nifty audio technology to block out the lack of respect you feel for your girlfriend when you hear about her getting pony rides from a space slug or refusing to eat chicken when the moon’s in Aquarius. A lack of respect for your partner’s beliefs (as opposed to finding them merely odd or infuriating) is the starting line for contempt—the amped-up form of disgust—which marriage researcher John Gottman finds is the single best predictor that a relationship will tank.

So, in vetting partners, yes, it’s good to keep an open mind. However, as the saying goes, just “not so open that your brains fall out”—and you come to hear, “Hey, honey, the kids and I will be home a little late.

They’re running an hour and two ritual slaughters behind at the primary care shaman.”

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As I gaze into my

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You can only go halfway into the darkest forest,” says a Chinese proverb.

“Then you are coming out the other side.” You will soon reach that midpoint, Leo. You may not recognize how far you have already come, so it’s a good thing I’m here to give you a heads-up.

Keep the faith! Now here’s another clue: As you have wandered through the dark forest, you’ve been learning practical lessons that will come in handy during the phase of your journey that will begin after your birthday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My devoted contingent of private detectives, intelligence agents, and psychic sleuths is constantly wandering the globe gathering data for me to use in creating your horoscopes. In recent days, they have reported that many of you Virgos are seeking expansive visions and mulling long-term decisions. Your tribe seems unusually relaxed about the future, and is eager to be emancipated from shrunken possibilities.

Crucial in this wonderful development has been an inclination to stop obsessing on small details and avoid being distracted by transitory concerns. Hallelujah!

Keep up the good work.

Think BIG! BIGGER! BIGGEST!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): After years of painstaking research, the psychic surgeons at the Beauty and Truth Lab have finally perfected the art and science of Zodiac Makeovers. Using a patented technique known as Mythic Gene Engineering, they are able to transplant the planets of your horoscope into different signs and astrological houses from the ones you were born with. Let’s say your natal Jupiter suffers from an uncongenial aspect with your Moon. The psychic surgeons cut and splice according to your specifications, enabling you to be re-coded with the destiny you desire. Unfortunately, the cost of this pioneering technology is still prohibitive for most people. But here’s the good news, Libra: In the coming months, you will have an unprecedented power to reconfigure your life’s path using other, less expensive, purely natural means.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In high school I was a good athlete with a promising future as a baseball player. But my aspirations were aborted in sophomore year when the coach banished me from the team. My haircut and wardrobe were too weird, he said. I may have been a skillful shortstop, but my edgy politics made him nervous and mad. At the time I was devastated by his expulsion. Playing baseball was my passion. But in retrospect I was grateful. The coach effectively ended my career as a jock, steering me toward my true callings: poetry and music and astrology. I invite you to identify a comparable twist in your own destiny, Scorpio. What unexpected blessings came your way through a seeming adversary? The time is ripe to lift those blessings to the next level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you remember that turning point when you came to a fork in the road of your destiny at a moment when your personal power wasn’t strong? And do you recall how you couldn’t muster the potency to make the most courageous choice, but instead headed in the direction that seemed easier? Well, here’s some intriguing news: Your journey has delivered you, via a convoluted route, to a place not too far from that original fork in the road. It’s possible you could return there and revisit the options—which are now more mature and meaningful— with greater authority. Trust your exuberance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I love writing horoscopes for you. Your interest in my insights

Be kind to your body this summer.

Hydrate with High Desert Hydrotherapy!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): After an Illinois man’s wife whacked him in the neck with a hatchet, he didn’t hold a grudge. Just the opposite. Speaking from a hospital room while recovering from his life-threatening wound, Thomas Deas testified that he still loved his attacker, and hoped they could reconcile. Is this admirable or pathetic? I’ll go with pathetic. Forgiving one’s allies and loved ones for their mistakes is wise, but allowing and enabling their maliciousness and abuse should be taboo. Keep that standard in mind during the coming weeks, Aquarius.

People close to you may engage in behavior that lacks full integrity. Be compassionate but tough-minded in your response.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Can water run uphill? Not usually. But there’s an eccentric magic circulating in your vicinity, and it could generate phenomena that are comparable to water running uphill. I wouldn’t be surprised, either, to see the equivalent of stars coming out in the daytime. Or a mountain moving out of your way. Or the trees whispering an oracle exactly when you need it. Be alert for anomalous blessings, Pisces. They may be so different from what you think is possible that they could be hard to recognize.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the book “A Survival Guide to the Stress of Organizational Change,” the authors tell you how to raise your stress levels. Assume that others are responsible for lowering your stress levels, they say. Resolve not to change anything about yourself. Hold on to everything in your life that’s expendable.

Fear the future. Get embroiled in trivial battles.

Try to win new games as you play by old rules.

Luckily, the authors also offer suggestions on how to reduce your stress. Get good sleep, they advise. Exercise regularly. Don’t drink too much caffeine. Feel lots of gratitude. Clearly define a few strong personal goals, and let go of lesser wishes. Practice forgiveness and optimism. Talk to yourself with kindness. Got all that, Taurus?

It’s an excellent place to start as you formulate your strategy for the second half of 2016.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Normally I’m skeptical about miraculous elixirs and sudden cures and stupendous breakthroughs. I avoid fantasizing about a “silver bullet” that can simply and rapidly repair an entrenched problem. But I’m setting aside my caution as I evaluate your prospects for the coming months. While I don’t believe that a sweeping transformation is guaranteed, I suspect it’s far more likely than usual. I suggest you open your mind to it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Events in the coming week may trick your mind and tweak your heart. They might mess with your messiah complex and wreak havoc on your habits. But I bet they will also energize your muses and add melodic magic to your mysteries. They will slow you down in such a way as to speed up your evolution, and spin you in circles with such lyrical grace that you may become delightfully clear-headed. Will you howl and moan? Probably, but more likely out of poignant joy, not from angst and anguish. Might you be knocked off course? Perhaps, but by a good influence, not a bad one.

lzheimer’s disease is set to join epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, and several other illnesses on the list of medical conditions that cannabis may treat, according to a new study from the Salk Institute.

541.678.5199

Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that gradually robs the sufferer of the ability to think and remember things, ending in dementia, social withdrawal, and the inability to care for oneself. The average life expectancy after diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is just three to nine years.

The disease affects 48 million people worldwide and kills nearly a half-million people each year.

Medical science still cannot cure or even stop Alzheimer’s disease, after decades of research. Even the cause of the disease is still largely unknown. Scientists do know that a protein known as beta amyloid builds up in the brain with age.

Beta amyloid causes a toxic inflammatory response in neurons that eventually destroys brain cells. In people with Alzheimer’s disease, beta amyloid builds up excessively, so much so that the person’s memory and cognition is affected.

But researchers have now shown that THC, the main known chemical in cannabis, stimulates the removal of beta amyloid in the brain and blocks the inflammatory response, protecting neurons from damage. The researchers grew human neurons in the lab and modified the cells so that they grew beta amyloid, simulating the progression of

Alzheimer’s disease. Then they exposed the diseased cells to THC and other cannabis compounds.

The finding that cannabis compounds may stop disease is not new. Researchers have previously shown that human cancer cells are destroyed when exposed to cannabis compounds in the lab, but according to Salk Institute Professor David Schubert, the senior author of the study, this is the first time cannabis compounds have been shown to decrease both inflammation and beta amyloid accumulation in neurons.

Professor Schubert also notes that more study is needed before researchers can conclude that the cannabis compounds are causing the positive effects. In clinical research such as this, laboratory studies typically come first, followed by animal studies, then human clinical trials.

But these later stages involved in bringing an Alzheimer’s disease cure to market are unlikely to happen in the United States, as long as the federal government maintains its policy that cannabis “has no medical value” and its concomitant ban on medical research using cannabis.

But with credible scientific evidence suggesting cures for major diseases such as Alzheimer’s and cancer, pressure is mounting. The Drug Enforcement Agency is expected to announce in July whether it will end the ban. SW
