DESCHUTES RIVER ALLIANCE FIRES BACK

LIGHTMETER

5 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 35 / September 1, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

In your Aug. 24 article, “In Search Of a Cooler River,” Portland General Electric spokesperson Steve Corson states, “They (the Deschutes River Alliance) want to go back to the status quo prior to the selective water withdrawal system, and essentially to abandon the reintroduction effort for salmon and steelhead above the dams.”

This statement is inaccurate and misleading.

The DRA has regularly asserted our support for fish reintroduction—on our blog, at public events, and in various publicly disseminated documents.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY? Send your thoughts to editor@bendsource.com.

Letters must be received by noon Friday for inclusion in the following week’s paper.

Please limit letters to 250 words. Submission does not guarantee publication.

Letter of the week receives $5 to Palate!

However, the DRA believes that fish reintroduction efforts shouldn’t result in violations of the Clean Water Act. Further, these efforts shouldn’t come at the expense of the ecology of the lower Deschutes River and tributaries above the Pelton-Round Butte Dam Complex.

In short, we are supportive of fish reintroduction that is successful, that complies with the law, and that protects the ecology of the Deschutes River ecosystem. The Selective Water Withdrawal facility is failing on each of these counts.

—Jonah Sandford, Executive Director, Deschutes River Alliance

PARKING ON WEST SIDE

IN PRAISE OF GREAT MEN On Friday, Aug. 12 around 3:30 pm visitors were enjoying the patio at a vacation rental on 12th Street in Bend between Galveston and Hartford. Pine cones started coming down and as they looked up a huge pine tree branch as big as a tree came down with a huge crash in the backyard of the neighbor. They ran and one woman hurt her knee and had to go to the hospital but is apparently fine now.

I live next door to where the branch came down.

The groan of the branch wrenching free, two loud explosions, lights flashing; (it seemed like they were both inside and out of my house), sparking, and when I saw the four thick power lines come down outside my window facing the Hartford Alley I finally understood what was going on. I thought my house might explode and threw on a dress hanging nearby, grabbed my sunglasses, my cell phone and a hat and bolted through the gates between my landlord and me onto Hartford. I was NOT going to open my gate and face those lines! No purse, no money, no reading glasses, no shawl, no bra, no tincture!

I walked around the block in a daze until I saw the branch lying across the owner’s backyard, some bushes, the alley and onto a small open

@sourceweekly

garage. One of the two closest power poles had a small fire on top.

I was frightened but not freaked out. The reaction came later that night and the following days, when I was lethargic and spacey; my adrenals depleted. However, I was so shocked I temporarily forgot my cat who was sleeping on my bed and was by now probably under the bed.

Immediately there were sirens and our trusty Fire, Police and Power companies were there in force very quickly. I was told NOT to go into my house, which was obviously good advice I was definitely going to follow.

TV and Internet, but no. Going down the list of things that could be off on the phone with the ever polite and patient people at Bend Broadband, it now seems that one of the black boxes (the modem?) below the TV (I don’t speak electronese) was fried during the explosive event, and the surge protector died, protecting the TV. I was told by an electrician that it’s a very good idea to sniff any appliances for the smell of burnt “electricity” and to throw them out after they’ve been through something like this, even if they still work. He said that there could be some unseen damage inside them. Some of them had telltale small black smudges on them.

What was so heart-warming during this ordeal was the concern from neighbors and Fire, Police and Power. The owner of Paradise Produce was the first to call me, although he had lots of valuable produce with no cooling. I walked over to his place which is very close to mine and he gave me $10, unasked, to go have a drink. A neighbor offered that I could stay at his house during the very hot afternoon. A girlfriend living several streets away heard the noise and biked over to check on me. My landlord next door was also very solicitous. My kids were off camping and not within telephone reach, otherwise they would have helped also.

All the workers I contacted were extremely polite, patient and caring; lots of them offering me ice cold water bottles from their trucks as I wandered around in the heat, looking for shade and answers. I don’t drink much but I desperately needed a strong drink to calm my nerves.

I finally ended up at the Westside Bar, and boy, are their drinks strong! I had a tall glass of gin and tonic and could only finish half of it.

Over the following days I gradually got more and more of the utilities to work. I kept button-holing the various workers in the alley for advice, even dragging some into my house to ask, “Why is this not working?” There were several complications, such as blown surge protectors. On Monday I was told that I should have

All night there was activity; lots of trucks, floodlit guys swinging in baskets hanging from those long “arms.” It was a strange, unreal and dramatic scene. These guys work so hard! They are the Salt of the Earth!

s a reporter at my college newspaper I witnessed a scene that reminded me of the current wrangling over Bend’s climate change resolution. A young undergraduate was taking advantage of the open-forum hour in the school’s student center. Her topic: reducing our consumption of fossil fuels by going vegan. Surrounding her below the podium was not the usual cadre of simpatico hippies and beat poets, but instead a crew of boys who were skeptical to the extreme. To every point that the girl brought forth, the boys had a sardonic counterpoint. They dogged her for wearing shoes—bought from a thrift store—made with plastic soles. They chided her for riding the bus, which consumed fossil fuels.

Eventually, the girl stalked away from the podium with the exclamation, “I can’t do everything. Should I do nothing at all?”

That little anecdote strikes to the heart of the question about the efficacy of the Bend City Council’s pending resolution on climate change. Some have questioned the resolution for its current lack of actionable steps. Some have said it’s going to be difficult to measure a city’s overall footprint—and thus, it’s impossible to measure whether City of Bend operations have actually been cut by 40 percent by 2030 and 70 percent by 2050, as the current draft of the resolution aims for. Still others say that a resolution means nothing if all those involved—businesses, residents,

and governments, all—aren’t held to the same standard as city operations. And of course, others have expressed worry about how much it’s all going to cost.

These are all valid concerns, and ones the Bend City Council and its climate change working group have heard loud and clear. In a city where funding our road repairs and other capital projects is a serious concern, that team has some big challenges on its plate. Paying for a sustainability coordinator to carry out the eventual “teeth” of the resolution is going to require some cognitive muscle.

Determining how to get residents to care—and act—is going to require plenty of creativity.

Whether there are eventual incentives or ordinances, we believe many residents are only truly going to act when they see it benefiting them. Thankfully for the City Council and its climate change working group, there’s one big way to bring residents around to their side: cost savings. When a home is required to be built to a higher standard of efficiency, it saves residents money in their heating and cooling bills. Coincidentally, where’s the money they’ve saved likely to be spent? In the local economy, of course.

In the battle between the optimists and the naysayers, the argument about overall cost savings might bring more people over to the former side.

There’s definitely a cost to adopting this resolution. In the grand scheme of things, however, there’s a bigger cost to not acting at all. SW

Fuel for the Fires, Inside and Out

Wildfires are a constant concern. Coal-fired power is on its way out.

With biomass, some say they may strike at both issues at once.

By Brian Jennings

In a super-heated building adjacent to the hospital, Steve Hill stands next to a large boiler that’s burning the wood pellets that now heat the 25-bed facility—including heating water. As director of facilities for the 50,000-square-foot hospital, Hill says the hospital is seeing huge cost savings by heating the facility using pellets produced from debris in the nearby Malheur National Forest.

“We crunched the numbers and figured there would be about a $50,000-a-year savings, and right now we’re looking at about $150,000 savings a year,” says Hill.

He says the pellet option is not only more efficient than burning fuel oil, but the maintenance costs are cheaper. “We get only about five gallons of fine ash every two months. There is very low ash content to the pellets and lower carbon emissions,” he explains. “For anybody who is burning number two oil, it’s a no-brainer. Go biomass.”

Biomass heating options are gaining steam across rural Oregon, with its cold winters and lack of natural gas supply lines—yet there are abundant fuels available in the nearby woods. The John Day and Prairie City School Districts are both using pellets to heat their facilities.

The John Day airport and the National Guard building have also converted their heating systems. In the case of Blue Mountain Hospital, it also has the benefit of proximity to the sawmill that specializes in manufacturing wood pellets.

“Our region has a lot of wood,” Malheur Lumber Company Pellet Plant Supervisor John Rowell says. “All of our material that comes here for processing—whether it’s saw logs, chips, whatever we make—it all eventually gets used.”

Rowell also says burning wood pellets significantly reduces pollution. “There are 50 percent less particulates than burning normal cord wood and the heat produced is also greater.”

Another Benefit: Preventing Wildfires

There is another potential benefit: Improving the health of the forests. “We’re hoping to help eliminate large fires by bringing a certain amount of the high volume of flammable fuel material found in

PGE’s tests of its torrified biomass have so far been successful. This November, the company hopes to perform a test using 100 percent biomass, without the use of any coal. “The test last year confirmed that the fuel will run through the plant with minimal adjustment to existing equipment,” says Corson. Still, he says PGE remains “very much in the research mode as to whether the company can convert to total biomass.”

Environmental Impacts

the woods back to the plant in a managed way so our forests will get healthier and safer,” Rowell says.

Rowell says maintaining the forests is expensive and suggests tax dollars might be considered to thin and clean the forests before they result in major fires.

Biomass on a Major Scale: Powering Homes & Businesses

Biomass technology for energy production is gaining momentum in Oregon, but it’s still in its infancy here and around the U.S. At Oregon’s Department of Energy, it’s getting a lot of attention. Dan Avery, a policy analyst for the ODOE, says biomass is a big field. “There are a lot of different pieces to it such as forest products, bio-gas from waste water treatment or agricultural facilities, and other sources,” he says.

One major project involves Portland General Electric’s coal-fired plant in Boardman. The plant will phase out its use of coal by the end of 2020, as part of the nation’s effort to reduce carbon emissions. The Boardman plant supplies approximately 15 percent of PGE’s power. According to Avery, PGE is looking at using agricultural and forest products to replace coal through a technological process called torrefaction. The company says it will need up to 8,000 tons of biomass to supply the power needed for hundreds of thousands of homes.

Through the torrefaction process, experts say the resulting fuel burns almost like coal, without the adverse environmental impacts. The Malheur Lumber Company has a hand in helping develop the technology for PGE. “If we can get it off the ground, it will

allow us to take up a lot of biomass and use it as an alternative to coal burning. If it works, that will be big,” says Malheur Lumber's Rowell.

According to PGE’s Steve Corson, the company has been researching biomass options since 2010, testing nearly two dozen potential fuel stocks with researchers at Washington State University— with many more in queue. “It is still very much a research project. We’ve made no decisions as to the future of the plant,” he says. “The Boardman plant, according to industry standards, is a relatively young plant. It has a lot of life to it in terms of the equipment. It’s also an extremely

Jeffrey Morris of Sound Resource Management Group in Olympia, Wash., hesitates to endorse biomass as an answer to future energy needs. In a paper published

by Yale University’s Journal of Industrial Ecology, Morris suggests there are better things to do with woody biomass than burning it for heat or electricity.

He says based on comparisons he’s seen, it’s likely that overall environmental impacts will go up as a result of the switch.

“CO2 is CO2 in terms of climate impacts, so release of CO2 from burning wood has the same impact as the release of CO2 from burning oil or coal. Whether whole trees or wood wastes from construction/ demolition debris or from logging sites, burning wood is not an environmentally friendly source of energy.”

Morris suggests that recycling into recon-

“If we can get it off the ground, it will allow us to take up a lot of biomass and use it as an alternative to coal burning. If it works, that will be big.” John Rowell, Malheur Lumber valuable asset to the community from the standpoint of jobs and property taxes, so we believe keeping that plant alive has some significant benefits.”

Part of PGE’s effort is testing the torrefaction technology, which can reduce the amount of biomass needed for energy production, making it more economically viable. The company describes it as a roasting process similar to that used in making charcoal, carried out at temperatures of 400-600 degrees Fahrenheit and in the absence of oxygen. The end result is a dried, brittle material that can be burned with minimal changes to the existing Boardman facility, according to PGE. Torrefied pellets or briquettes are more energy-dense and at the same time lighter and drier than the biomass from which

stituted wood products or papermaking pulp, or landfilling with methane capture and flaring to generate electricity is a better option. He says long term economics may be very different than the short-run comparisons that are yielding current savings from burning wood instead of oil.

Dan Avery at the Oregon Department of Energy is optimistic, though. “I think biomass is going to grow considerably.

The technology particularly at bio-refineries as they become financially viable will see a lot of growth.” He says more local communities are looking at bio-gas from waste water treatment facilities.

“This is definitely a positive path we’re headed down.” SW Want to read more? Check out the full version of this story plus videos at bendsource.com

they are made, making the product easier to transport and to store.

ot long ago, the Blue Mountain Hospital in John Day was consuming over 32,000 gallons of costly heating oil each year. Off the beaten path, 150 miles east of Bend, the rural community didn’t have the option to use cheaper sources of fuel such as natural gas. That is, until recently.

T

he Airshow of the Cascades show ended in tragedy Aug. 27 when a pilot died in a plane crash. According to Airshow of the Cascades’ website, Marcus Paine died during his Saturday afternoon performance in Madras. Paine, who hailed from Anchorage, Alaska, had been a pilot for more than 20 years. Paine was a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and a former U.S. Army Special Forces Officer, Airborne Master and Jumpmaster. He was piloting a 450 Stearman biplane when he went down around 3 pm.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.

A statement on the Airshow of the Cascades website says: “The Paine family and the airshow community appreciate your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”

The Airshow of the Cascades held its first event in 2000 at the Madras Airport, offering free admission to veterans and children.

While you’re here, visit:

Longtime volunteer-matching service Volunteer Connect has shut down operations and moved its volunteer database to Redmond-based nonprofit Better Together.

Prior to its closure in August, Volunteer Connect matched people with one-time and ongoing volunteering opportunities at more than 140 Central Oregon community organizations. In 2016, Volunteer Connect began focusing on volunteer services for youth, by youth, so a partnership with Better Together

– which focuses on improving outcomes for youth from birth to career – was a natural fit.

“I am thrilled that Better Together has stepped up to continue the essential work of offering volunteers an easy and reliable way to connect with meaningful opportunities to serve our communities. We see this as an excellent fit,” said Betsy Warriner, founder and executive director of Volunteer Connect.

“We are excited about the opportunity to keep this incredible resource alive, and to build on it in a way that directly serves our current birth-to-career initiatives across the region,” said Better Together Executive Director Katie Condit.

Bookkeeper Arrested on Embezzlement Charges

A Deschutes County grand jury has indicted a bookkeeper on charges related to embezzlement of close to $1 million from a local business. Authorities arrested Sherrie Lynn Burge on Aug. 19 after she was indicted on 32 counts of money laundering, 1st degree aggravated theft, aggravated I.D. theft, forgery and fraudulent use of credit cards.

According to the office of Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel, Burge had worked as a comptroller and bookkeeper at DENT Instruments since 2012. DENT Instruments is a Bend-based company that designs and manufactures data loggers and energy recorders for energy professionals.

Authorities say Burge’s alleged ongoing embezzlement took place over the course of four years. Burge was not listed among inmates at the Deschutes County Adult Jail as of Aug. 30. SW

From Community Activist to Longtime Mayor Bend Mayor Jim Clinton looks back at 12 years in office – and to the future

9

M

ayor Jim Clinton chose not to seek re-election to a fourth term on Bend City Council. The Source Weekly caught up with him to talk about where Bend is today and what the future holds.

THE PAST Clinton’s political journey started with elk.

He and his wife Judy moved to Central Oregon in 1995, choosing a rural plot just south of Bend. Within a few years, they were involuntarily annexed into the city. Then the developers pounced.

“It was a period of rapid growth and rapid change. It seemed to us that open space and in particular wildlife habitat was disappearing,” he said.

Clinton lived near Elk Meadow, which received its namesake for the herds of elk that visited every year. When Clinton heard that the meadow he loved would soon be covered with homes, he founded the Save Elk Meadow campaign.

Clinton holds a Ph.D. in physics and doesn’t rush into things. He met with the mayor, with editorial boards and with anyone who cared about how Bend should develop.

“The difference was that we weren’t just complaining,” he said. “We had a plan for how this could work.”

In his homestretch as mayor, Jim Clinton continues to grapple with expanding Bend's urban growth boundary, climate change and more.

In the end Elk Meadow survived with a wildlife corridor and made Clinton a player in Bend political circles. He helped establish the city’s neighborhood associations and was the first president of the Southwest Neighborhood Association. He also got involved in the council elections.

Clinton eventually landed on the city’s Budget Committee, and then ran for council, losing on his first bid in 2002 but winning in 2004.

He’s been on council ever since, and his fellow councilors chose him as mayor in 2013 and again in 2015.

“You survive in the political arena partly by avoiding making people too angry, so I’ve taken a reasoned approach to issues independent of lobbying and special interests,” he said.

“I’ve been a voice for stability, helping create a stable political environment so that the city manager can do his job.”

THE PRESENT Clinton still has several months left as mayor, and he and the rest of council will grapple with high-profile issues including growth, an urban growth boundary (UGB) expansion, transportation, and a controversial climate change resolution.

There’s little the city can do to stop growth, and state land-use law requires an adequate supply of land inside the UGB to accommodate it. About 84,000 people live in Bend now, and the population is forecast to reach 115,000 by 2028.

not like people are going to stop wanting to live here, but you have to keep it attractive for the people who are already here,” he said.

Asked whether he saw any parallels between the current UGB expansion and his own involuntary annexation two decades ago, Clinton said this time was different. Property owners on Bend’s periphery are clamoring to be added.

“Almost all of the testimony we heard was from people wanting to be in. If people are unhappy, it’s

Fewer cars would be good for the environment, too—an important factor as City Council considers a climate change resolution that would call for the city to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Council originally considered a broader ordinance, but dialed it back to a resolution in the spirit of compromise.

Nevertheless, it has drawn the ire of editorial writers and some in the business community. There has even been a group of climate change deniers lobbying against it,

“It’s the small-town thinking that continues to hold Bend back.” Mayor Jim Clinton because they didn’t get more (land) in,” he said.

according to Clinton.

In the newly-annexed areas, the city will emphasize what he calls “complete neighborhoods,” which he describes as places with a mix of housing types, shopping and jobs.

“No, we aren’t going to solve climate change singlehandedly as a city,” Clinton said. “We all know that we have contributed to the problem. Now we ought to do our part to help fix it.”

Clinton and council also recognize that growth and increasing property values could price a lot of service workers out of the community. He praised Jim Long, the city’s affordable housing manager, for working with council to make sure affordable housing remains a priority.

“We’re way ahead of any other city in Oregon,” he said.

Meanwhile, the city’s transportation infrastructure is feeling the squeeze, but money for upkeep and improvements is in short supply.

“It’s not possible to find in the existing budget the money to keep the roads fixed properly,” Clinton said. That’s why he pushed for a five cents-per-gallon fuel tax, which voters soundly rejected in March.

Even if it had passed, the city’s options are limited, according to Clinton. Limitations on land prevent the city from widening some of its busiest streets. Besides, he said, Bend can’t just build its way to better transportation infrastructure. Road improvements are part of the solution, but the city needs to go further.

Clinton suggested creating services

He predicts that the resolution will ultimately be good for Bend, despite the naysayers. If the city commits to reducing fossil fuel use, it has an opportunity to save a lot of money. Clinton the physicist is more pessimistic about the big picture, though. “I don’t know if humanity is capable of addressing a problem like this,” he said. “It’s the first time in our history as a species where we’ve altered the atmosphere of the entire planet.”

THE FUTURE Clinton chose not to run for re-election in part because he wants to have more time to work as a physicist and to pursue other opportunities.

With a council that he says is more progressive than any in the city’s history, Clinton urges its to reform its government to reflect its size.

“We have a small-town city council structure in what is becoming a big city,” he said. “It’s the small-town thinking that continues to hold Bend back.” SW Want to read more? Check out the full version of this feature at bendsource.com

T

he Sisters Folk Festival has come a long way since its inception in 1995. For one, the number of bands and popularity of the acts has grown considerably. Eleven venues from all over Sisters participate—and this year included—the festival sells out weeks before the event. Central Oregon might have several music festivals throughout the year, but this one usually tends to be the one to beat.

helped create the Americana Project and started the Song Academy with my own two hands and much of the programming we do in the schools. Since 2003, I’ve been doing the booking as artistic director, and acted as executive and artistic director from 2008 to 2014.

We have grown and developed and added stages almost every year since.

This year’s acts include some of the finest musicians working today. Whether it’s the brilliant British folk rocker Richard Thompson, the bluesy/gospel explosion of Ruthie Foster, or lesser-known but soon-to-be classic acts like The Good Time Travelers, Mipso and Sam Lewis, this year’s festival is one for the record books.

BT: Empowering people to build community through music and the arts and serve and contribute to a thriving, dynamic community in Sisters. I am most proud of the way all of our programming integrates with the community, young people and education in the schools.

We had a few words with Sisters Folk Festival Creative Director Brad Tisdel about the path the Festival has taken, the future of the Festival and keeping the integrity of Sisters.

Source Weekly: I wanted to start by asking about your history with the festival. How long have you been with it?

Brad Tisdel: I was a song contest finalist the first two years. Since 2000 I’ve

SW: What do you feel is the most important mission of the festival?

SW: How is this year’s festival different from others? I’ve noticed the artists you book each year get more and more impressive.

BT: The festival’s motto is “All the town’s a stage” and we believe in including the entire community, which builds a thriving, dynamic scene. Many of the venues support private businesses who in turn support the organization. Couple that with music and arts in the schools and academies, and events outside of the schools, and it’s more of a community movement than individual parts within

the community. The model also allows us to book developing artists and legacy artists, and place them all in different stages throughout town. Our intent and hope is to keep the integrity and the character of the event for years to come.

SW: What’s your long term view of the fest? Do you want to see it evolve into something different? Larger? Do you want to keep it a small-town music festival? It seems to be getting bigger every year.

BT: We are trying to continually improve the programming we do and having intimate, extraordinary music experiences rather than disparate focus at larger venues.

SW: Will overnight camping passes ever become part of the fest?

BT: We’ve been working on trying to accommodate campers, but with it being in town, we’ve essentially left them to their own choices and appreciate the partnership we have with (the) city.

Plus, there is camping outside of town in many areas. SW Sisters Folk Festival Friday, Sept. 9-Sunday, Sept. 11 Check sistersfolkfestival.org for pricing, times, locations and ticket availability

So Many Keyboards Headwaves is coming for us all

By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 1, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

16

Headwaves’ dreamy synth-pop sound came together in Seattle, but its synth player and vocalist is a Bend native.

Y

ou probably haven’t heard of Seattle’s Headwaves, but you will.

The four-piece’s mix of dreamy fuzz pop and synth-heavy, vocal-driven soundscapes will nail the pleasure points of fans of acts like “Portugal. The Man,” and “Beach House.” Their debut record will be released in October after they tour the West Coast spreading their delightfully modern, yet essentially timeless sound.

The Source Weekly had a conversation with the band leader and guitarist Larson Haakenstad. Here is an excerpt from that talk.

SW: I wanted to start by asking how the band formed.

Larson Haakenstad: (Vocalist, keys and synth player) Ryan Barber (born and raised in Bend) inherently writes folk songs about love, depression and desire, but he had the urge to make people move in a way folk songs simply couldn’t do. He had the need for his lyrics to smoothly float over a lush bed of instruments and heady dance-driven rhythms. Teaming up with myself and producer, Randall Dunn, the sound of Headwaves was created over the period of two years with Chris Mahlstedt on drums, Brett Zadlo on bass.

SW: Was music always a large part of all of your lives?

Ranch Records www.towertheatre.org www.bendticket.com

LH: Well, this could be a super long answer explaining each of our childhoods, but the answer is yep, we all grew up in musical households. Most of us started playing music, writing songs while in ele-

mentary school, but our drummer Chris apparently was singing before he was even able to speak.

band from the city to prove yourself early and come out swinging with something different?

SW: What are some of your musical influences?

LH: The band isn’t too worried about the legacy of Seattle—as much as we love our history—but it certainly is inspiring to be around and play with people that have or are currently breaking through to the national scene. More so, we’re just trying to create the best sound and experience—both live and studio—that we personally can. We’re certainly coming out the gates swinging and are super excited to get our debut record out to the world. Expect to see us on the road.

LH: We have a pretty broad range. We love our traditional music of blues, jazz, funk, folk and classical, but this group, it’s so much off of fresh crazy sounds of Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Beach House, and modern pop—I mean, club hits like Rihanna-type jams, but also '70s funk and soul.

SW: Your music seems like a perfect blend of late-psych and modern dream fuzz. How did you guys come into that sound? Were you instantly drawn to it?

LH: You know, we didn’t necessarily write our music with a specific sound in mind, we only wrote to see how fresh, new and powerful it could be.

Ryan was naturally drawn to dance jams of club music, which became our basis. Then, being obsessed with Tame Impala’s "Currents" record, I went down the rabbit hole of washy synths and sounds and textures. Plus, during the 18-months-of-writing process, I shattered my collarbone, so I couldn’t play my main instrument of guitar. This lent to the creation of very dense layers and textures. Thankfully, our producer made sense of it all, helping us create the gritty, yet dreamy sound we have.

SW: Some of the finest bands in history have come out of Seattle. Is there an added pressure being a newer

SW: What’s your worst habit on tour that you leave behind once you’re off the road?

LH: Well, staying up till 2am, drinking on a Tuesday probably isn’t needed!

SW: Do you guys like the bigger outdoor shows or the smaller, more intimate venues?

LH: Super happy with both, super happy with both.

SW: How would you describe a Headwaves show to someone who hasn’t seen you before?

LH: Dream pop meets Indie rock in its shortest sense, but to dive deeper, we play with way too many keyboards. SW Headwaves with Bony Chanterelle Thursday, Sept. 8, 9pm Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend $6 adv., $8 door

hen most people think of barrels, they think of them filled with wine or whiskey, sitting in an dark and damp cellar for years at a time. In recent years, though, beer brewers are bringing back the barrel.

Before tanks, kegs and growlers, the standard container for beer was barrels.

Oak barrels were ubiquitous for many years, thanks to the wood’s malleable but dense features. They were easy to make, and could safely transport liquids— including water, oil, and of course, beer—across vast distances.

However, brewers were wary of the wood. While the flavor it imparted to other spirits was necessary, it was believed that oak would destroy a beer’s flavors.

So most barrels were thoroughly sanitized with boiling water to prevent any contamination. With the advent of metal and glass containers, barrels quickly fell out of favor with brewers.

Thankfully, a handful of intrepid brewers sought to experiment with barrels.

While most beer was being mass produced and stored in metal tanks and kegs, craft brewers were occasionally using spent barrels sold to them by whiskey

E G A T S N I A M

LINEUP

distillers (who, by law, require new barrels for each batch).

The results were exciting and, when done properly, delicious.

The barrels would impart unique attributes to the beer. The wood alone could enhance a beer’s maltiness, bring out its bitterness, add depth to the texture, create new vanilla or caramel notes, and more. The natural oxygenation process also helped to improve the alcohol’s pleasant flavors. Additionally, elements of a barrel’s previous contents would also soak into the beer, creating whiskey or wine notes.

Now, barrel-aged beers are quickly gaining popularity The natural effects of the wood are ideal for brewing lambics and sours, while bourbon barrels can add a sharp kick to ales. And brewers are continuing to experiment with woods other than oak, including pine, ash, redwood, even eucalyptus. (They can’t all be winners.) For purists seeking ancient brews, bold drinkers who only try the newest and craziest libations, or anyone craving a cold pint, barrel-aged beers are the way to go!

Saturday, September 3RD BROTHERS REED 6:30 - 9:30pm

APPALOOSA 6:30 - 8pm APPALOOSA is a trio, located in Bend, Oregon, which specializes in “high desert Americana” music. They perform original music and some country/folk covers.

GOLD RUST 8:30 - 10pm This Bend duo makes music for the vast, verdant world to the west of Bend and the dusty, boundless landscape to the east. Basically, any-

Two brothers making folk music, building a rabid fan base, touring the country, making albums, and not giving two effs what the naysayers think.

The Brothers Reed have finally united to create music together after twelve years of being 3000 miles apart. Phil finally moved to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and joined forces with Aaron in a project named Buckle Rash. Playing around with their not so high-energy solo creations they developed something on the side. Musical tastes for both have changed over the years and evolved into a medley of folk/bluegrass/pop/country and so on...

Focusing on tight harmonies and pretty riffs The Brothers Reed want to bring you a unique listening experience often filling the between-time during shows with comedy and fun while balancing that with many serious songs about love and every day life. So come to a show or listen online for surely a pleasurable experience!

Jim Beam

CW Irwin Straight Bourbon, Ottis Webber Oregon Wheat Whiskey, and Finn’s American Rye.

CRAFT DISTILLED & AGED IN BEND, OREGON

Jim Beam Rye | 90 Proof The nose is a good mix of oak and rye spice along with a subtle undercurrent of caramel. The entry is much softer and sweeter than the nose would suggest, with caramel and vanilla at the opening accompanied by roasted cashew nuts.

The rye and oak spice from the nose present well in the midpalate where they integrate with the underlying sweet caramel. Towards the end of the midpalate things start drying out and the oak steps forward over the rye. Again, we get a little nuttiness. The finish is medium length and fairly dry with light rye notes lingering on the palate.

OREGON WHEAT WHISKEY

PikesvillE

Pikesville Rye | 110 Proof The nose shows dusty spice with a touch of noregian hand cream and cocoa at first with sweet liguiorice, curacoa, vanilla custard and crème caramel. The palate is fruity, then wonderfully spicy rye. Sweet Liquiorice again with plenty of oak and then clove drops the tail. It finishes with vanilla cinnamon and apricot.

Woodford Reserve

Woodford Reserve Rye | 90 Proof Spicy with distinct notes of ry, black pepper, cedar and cassia bark sweetened with a dusting of marzipan. Hints of pear, apple and almond dance in its depths.

The palate will taste clove, rye, mint and honey together with a hint of apples and malt. The finish is long and sweetly spiced

Ecliptic Brewing

Sour Noir - ABV 7.5% | IBU 5

Pollux Imperial IPA - ABV 8% | IBU 75 X-TAP

Dark Saison barrel aged with lactobacillus and brettanomyces in a 500L Merlot Barrel.

This Imperial IPA is named after one of the twin stars known as Pollux in the constellation Gemini. For our Pollux Imperial India Pale Ale, Amarillo, Azacca, Mosaic, Simcoe, Calypso, and Columbus hops were used. They give Pollux a tropical hop flavor and aroma with hints of orange and grapefruit.

Mint Lime Gose - ABV 5.5% | IBU 10 German style sour wheat beer made with a little salt, lime and mint.

The perfect.

Base Camp Brewing Co. Barrel-Fermented Ambreé Saison- ABV 8.5% | IBU 9 Fully wood-fermented and matured in a mixture of both red wine barrels and bourbon oak barrels, then pitched directly with a blend of saison yeasts and brettanomyces. This beer is a strong, specialty saison type beer, featuring a light rye spiciness, a touch of roast wheat malt for color, creating aromas of floral sweetness, fruity and bubblegum esters, and spicy, enticing phenolics.

Under a bright white beer foam the brew glows a bright reddish/amber, and follows up these intoxicating aromas with flavors reminiscent or berries, a sublime floral earthiness, and bright and lively clove phenols.

Shroomin’ S’more Stout - ABV 8.2% | IBU 66 A redux of a Base Camp favorite- Our S’more Stout highlights flavors of chocolate, coffee, and fig. We decided to age the beer for 9 months in rye whisky barrels and infuse it with Candy Cap mushrooms. The result is an absolute all-star. Hints of smoke lend to a gigantic maltiness that is distinct in its smooth and refined character, adding flavors of rich caramel, fruit, and warming alcohol.

We like to top if off with a roasted marshmallow.

Deschutes Brewery Horn O’ Plenty Whit - ABV 6.3% | IBU 15 A plethora of fruit shines brightly through in this multi-faceted Wit. A combination of Mango, Meyer Lemon, Blood Orange and Ginger provide layers of tasty character to slowly peel away. Aged in neutral oak for 8 months, this is Summer refreshment at it’s finest!

Breakfast in Bruges - ABV 9.7% | IBU 18 Ahh, Bruges! It really is a fairytale town with all of those canals, bridges, cobbled streets, and those churches and all that beautiful fairytale stuff. Get that Pseudo-Fairytale feeling with this Pseudo-Lambic that was pitched with a blend of wild yeast to mimic the real thing and then finished off with a little blood orange juice. How can this not be somebody’s thing, right!

Cultivateur - ABV 7.5% | IBU 22 A provisional saison brewed at Bend and Portland Pubs with a protion aged in oak barrels. Peach and apricot esters with a nice hop presence on the finsih.

The addition of brettanomyces and barrel flavors add complexity.

GED ENJOY BARRERL-OAM THE

Tarantula Belgium Dubber Ale - ABV 12% | IBU 20 X-TAP Named after the trantula nebula in the large magellanic cloud, this beer will trap you in it’s web dark & smooth with spicy belgian yeast. Rich malt flavors predominate with a hint of dried fruit - aged for 19 months in bourbon barrels.

Fort George Brewery Barrel-Aged May The Oats Be With You - ABV 8.5% Vast amounts of oats were added for a fuller body, minimizing the bitterness that can come from darker malts. Brewed with all European hops to lend a nice earth and spice character. Aged for nine months in Four Roses Bourbon Barrels.

3-Way IPA - ABV 7.35% Pale in appearance, balanced juicy body, superb lacing, and packed with every citrus fruit aroma you can imagine. A Fort George collaboration with Melvin Brewing & Barley Brown’s Beer.

Fremont Brewing The Brother Imperial IPA - ABV 8.5% | IBU 1 Billion Without our Brothers, we would have taken the blame for everything as children, wouldn’t have known the inside of an ambulance, and never understood the true fear a good ghost story can cause a young child. This Brother is appropriately big, intimidating, and unbalanced with unrestrained quantities of hops for a head slap of beery ferociousness.

2015 Bourbon Dark Star - ABV 4.5% | IBU 50 This year’s release is a blend of 18, 12, and 8-month bourbon barrel-aged Dark Star in 12-year old Kentucky Bourbon barrels. The roasted and chocolate malts complement the smooth oats to bring you a stout delight wrapped in gentle embrace of bourbon barrel-aged warmth. A touch of sweetness dances in balance with the hops to finish with a wave and then she’s gone.

Green Dragon Brew Crew Summer Wood - ABV 6.5% | IBU 28 Super clear, slightly bitter, with subtle oak and a solid whiskey warmth, at 6.5% ABV, this pale ale is refreshing and great for a summer afternoon. Brewed by the Green Dragon Brew Crew with Mt Hood, Centennial and Simcoe hop varieties and aged for three days in a fresh Rogue whiskey barrel, this beer is the epitome of quality and flavor. Grab a pint and relax. It is a small batch so get it before it’s gone!

Descent Into Darkness - ABV 9.8% | IBU 62

Hop Valley Brewing Co Pinot Barrel aged Sai Blonde - ABV 7.8% | IBU 22 A Belgian style saison aged 1 year in King estate Pinot Noir barrels. The barrel aging transforms this spicy, aromatic saison, giving it a toasted oak, cellar like quality of a fine champagne.

The Fruit Man 2016 - ABV 6.25% | IBU 25 This beer is a first in a series of fruit beers, and is brewed to blend the boundaries of both “fruit beer” drinkers, and “Hop Forward” beer drinkers. It is an American wheat ale hop bursted and dry hopped with copious amounts of Simcoe and Mosaic hops, and peach and apricot pureed and added to the fermenter to accentuate the qualities of these two varieties. Fruit and hops in harmony, two fruits two hops, one beer, one love!

z

Built on the back of our standard recipe for Russian Imperial Stout, a recipe that has won numerous competitions and is big, bold, clean and smooth.

This dark monster was aged in a bourbon barrel for several weeks and then cellared for eight months. The full, rich flavor of five malts displays layers of chocolate and vanilla complemented with the subtle flavors of toasted oak and bourbon from the barrel.

Barrel Aged Sour Sunset - ABV 8% Oak barrels complement this sour raspberry ale to produce a complex treat.

Vanilla brings out the brightness of the raspberries, while tannins accentuate the tartness. All around, this is a complex, delicious beer.

Nightside Eclipse - ABV 8.4% Boozy, vanilla, and brownie-like chocolate aromas, along with roasted and deep dark caramel malts. Finishes long and smooth with overtones of the oak this beer matured in. Whisky warming, full bodied, and satisfying.

McMenamins Breweries 2 Year Barrel Aged Black Widow - ABV 7.5% | IBU 30 This ever popular Halloween beer is flavor packed, each deep-black goblet of Black Widow is packed full of the robust notes afforded by generous amounts of black and roast malts and further spirited with ethereal wisps of caramel and licorice. Both substantial and sublime, this elixir is sure to slake the most fiendish of thirsts. For this special concoction we have aged some Black Widow in a Hogshead Whiskey barrel for one year and then aged in keg for another year!! Whiskey, alcohol warmth envelop your nose and give a lingering flavor mixed with robust roast flavor and warming elixir! .

Firewood Frank’s Rum Hammer - ABV 5.8% | IBU 40 Frank’s Rum is the newest spirit coming from the McMenamins distillery, so we at OSF here in Bend decided to create something unique and fun. We soaked some American Oak chips in some of this tantalizing yet strong Rum and then added them to our popular Hammerhead Ale. What we get is a well-rounded and full flavored drink. An alcohol warmth from Frank’s strong presence chops into the floral hoppiness that is the Hammerhead’s signature flavor. A great new way to enjoy a Hammerhead has just been found!

New Belgium Brewing Co. Apple Love Felix - ABV 8.5% Apple Love Felix is our sour blonde Felix aged in Apple Whiskey barrels from Leopold Bros. Distillery in Denver, CO.

Tart Lychee - ABV 7.5% | IBU 12 Tart Lychee is brewed with exotic Lychee fruit and cinnamon and then blended with our sour blonde Felix for a citrusy, tropical tart bite.

Ninkasi Brewing Oak Aged Sleigh’r - ABV 7.2% | IBU 50 A Dark Double Alt which has been racked into Heaven Hills Bourbon Barrels for 16 months. On the 10 month we added 2 liters of Oregon wild strawberry purée and 2 liters of Oregon apricot purée.

Tart and Soul - ABV 5% | IBU 7 Bright and tart, this beer is soulfully crafted with a distinctly Northwest ingredient- blackberries. Paired with a dry tartness imparted by the lactobasilius souring process and the suble blackberry sweetness, Tart and Soul beckons to be embraced.

Belgian Style Tripel - ABV 9.2% | IBU 35 Ninkasi version of a classic Belgian Tripel. Brewed with Belgian-style yeast which contributes a spicy clove-like aroma with citrus and floral notes. The beer is effervescent with a long lasting dense white head.

Oakshire Brewing Hermanne 1882 ‘14 - ABV 6.6% | IBU 20 We used Anne Amie’s classic Muller Thurgau grape and artfully blended it with a Belgian golden ale and matured it with Brettanomyces in Anne Amie’s Pinot Noir Barrel for a year.

Gose to 11 - ABV 4% | IBU 14 Gose to 11! is a hazy light golden colored ale with an earthy and lactic tart aroma. This light bodied and dry ale is a blend of mild fruit flavors, a savory rhubarb like flavor, and a thirst quenching salinity from the sea salt. The spicy and aromatic coriander ties it all together in a wild flavor sensation like no other beer style you’ve experienced.

Plank Town Brewing Company Barrel-Aged Pilsner - ABV 7.7% | IBU 89.7 The dark gold color of summer “Tripps” your senses into a smooth dance of Centennial, Citra, & Amarillo hops with sweet & balanced malts, and a bitey sweet kiss of orange peel.

Lost City IPA w/ orange peel - ABV 6.5% | IBU 75 This IPA starts with an orange cream taste that morphs into a piney, resinous bitterness. A deep, rich, golden-yellow hue with a tropical satisfaction.

Rogue Ales & Spirits Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout - ABV 11.5% | IBU 55 Black with ruby hues, Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout delivers a complex array of aromas and flavors that explode upon drinking, making this culmination of grain, oak, time and effort a revolutionary experience brought forth by the only brewery-distillery cooperage in the country.

Silver Moon Brewing Co. Comin Thru The Rye - ABV 8% | IBU 25 Skara Brae Scottish Ale aged for 6 months in Bendistillery Rye Whiskey barrels.

Barrel Rye’d - ABV 10% | IBU 25 Train Rye’d Barleywine, Aged for 6 months in Bendistillery Rye Whiskey Barrels. High alcohol and a caramelized smooth body that blend seamlessly. A prominent rye malt flavor that lends very little harshness, married to extremely wet rye whiskey barrels for an intense nose, without disturbing the sweet barley wine finish.

Stone Brewing Co. Stone xS IPA - ABV 8.9% Some really classic hop flavors and aromas are a tribute to the Sierra Nevada flavor profile. Aging the beer in gin barrels and our preferred rye whiskey barrel was a further homage to Sierra Nevada Brewmaster Steve Dressler’s love of gin botanicals and Stone’s obsession with whiskey barrel aging. The best example of a hoppy barrel aged IPA I’ve ever tasted, and a really fun concept.

Mocha IPA - ABV 9% | IBU 80 Brewer Kris Ketcham was inspired to brew an IPA with both coffee and cocoa influence. The resulting beer finishes with a nice citrus zing from Citra and Amarillo hops, and the flavors play wonderfully together!

Three Creeks Brewing Co. 2015 Rye Whiskey Barrel Aged Rudy - ABV 9.5% | IBU 75 Tennessee Whiskey FivePine Chocolate Porter - ABV 6.8% | IBU 55

El Luchador Tequila Barrel Aged Session Ale - ABV 5.5% | IBU 20

already drinkable and refreshing ale, we aged the beer on tequila barrels for roughly four months which added peppery notes of tequila to the flavor profile.

The end result of El Luchador comes out from behind the mask to hit the taste buds with margarita-like flavors, which is a perfect complement for the lime and ginger already found in the session ale. Pick one up and slam it down!

Since its inception, the Little Woody Barrel-Aged Brew and Whiskey Festival has taken place at the Des Chutes Historical Museum, a place that honors and preserves the storied past of Central Oregon. The nonprofit museum, which has for more than 25 years been telling the story of Bend from its early days as the epicenter of the Northwest logging industry to the present, is also the beneficiary of this unique festival of beer and culture.

Lay It Out Events, the producer of the Little Woody and many other Central Oregon events, is donating proceeds from every entry ticket to the event to the Des Chutes Historical Society.

During the Little Woody, the museum will be open for you to see what this area looked like in its earlier years and also investigate the history of the people and places that have defined Central Oregon over the years.

CULTURE Into the Dark

Local gallery dims it down to offer a rare art experience

By Annette Benedetti For the educational piece, the gallery is partnering with Central Oregon Community College, Japanese-American Society of Central Oregon, One Breath Poets, and the Tower Theatre to create a full schedule of talks, classes, and special events. That includes a traditional Japanese tea ceremony led by tea teacher Marjorie Yap, a talk on the pop culture aspect of ukiyo-e prints by art historian Ann Wetherwell of Willamette University, and an introduction to kabuki theatre and performances of select scenes from “The 47 Loyal Samurai” by Portland State University’s theater department.

There, more than two dozen woodblock prints will make up the new exhibit: “Opening Japan: Three Centuries of Japanese Prints.”

Executive Director Dawn Boone says bringing the “Opening Japan” exhibit to A6 has been on the table for a couple of years. “We had some trepidation about putting on this specific exhibit…because the prints are so fragile,” says Boone. She says extensive retrofitting in the gallery had to take place in preparation for the exhibit.

Because of their age, many of the prints are made with vegetable and mineral dyes and can be quickly bleached by light. “We are looking at art from right before, during, and after Japan opens to the West,” Boone explains, “It’s not until Japan opens to the West that some of our chemical aniline dyes start making it into the Japanese printmakers’ hands, and then the colors become more vibrant and lightfast. Anything before that can fade quickly.”

The gallery is taking every measure to ensure that the gallery is dimmer and the prints are protected, including hanging light blocking curtains and UV film on the windows to purchasing blackout

Additionally, A6 will host visiting artists, including renowned printmaker and Oregon State University faculty member Yuji Hiratsuka in mid-September. In October, Midwestern artist Mary Brodbeck will display her woodcut prints, created with the traditional Moku Hanga method, and discuss her creative process.

Three centuries of Japanese prints will be on display at A6 through Nov. 20. Print is by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, titled "Moon of Itsukushima—A Muro Courtesan," from a 1886 series.

blinds that will be hung over each piece.

“When you see these kinds of prints in a museum they are in a very lowlight controlled viewing room,” Boone says.

A6 has also partnered with organizations throughout the region in an effort to offer the community a deeper understanding of the history and culture behind the

art exhibit.

“A6 shows art from our area of expertise as artists: what goes into the making of the art, the composition, and the artist’s process” Boone says, “Beyond that, there’s so much more to know about Japanese art and Japanese culture.”

A special program called Students to A6 will offer arts education to schools throughout Central Oregon. Participating schools can send students on a guided tour and hear a presentation on the art and its historical significance. The presentation is followed by a hands-on printmaking activity.

That Dream-Like Feel Friends who play together, display together “Whenever we show a new artist, it changes the whole feel of the space,” explained Katie Clabough, art curator at Nancy P’s Bakery.

Today, that “feel” is pretty dream-like.

Nationally-known artist Denise Kester’s art is displayed there right now, alongside local artist Mare Schelz. Both artists have been friends for 30 years. They say their art is a contemplation of where we come from and what Kester describes as, “The big dream of Earth.”

Kester has been a full time studio artist for the past 35 years in Ashland. Schelz also studied at Southern Oregon University and that is where their friendship began. Thirty years later both artists remain friends and often show together.

Central Oregonians and their beer: A beautiful thing.

W

ay back when, The Little Woody started with a small group of local brewers getting together to share the barrel-aged beers they were producing. The small batches of brew were made as a way to celebrate craft brewing as an art form, back when every element of beer culture wasn’t soaked up by the general populace and their craft brew-loving ways. Today, the 8th annual version of The Little Woody combines Central Oregon’s love of beer, whiskey and cider, while keeping it all in a historical perspective.

Creative and Vendor Director of Lay it Out Events Karin Roy explains more about the rising popularity of the event: “The Woody…particularly in the last couple of years because of the cumulative momentum of the event, there is just so much more interest (in terms of the amount of breweries that want to be involved) than there is space. We’re physically constrained by the location, which is great. I actually love that about the event. We’ll never grow beyond that still pretty intimate setting.”

The list of breweries and cideries is an impressive one. Along with local favorites such as Three Creeks, Worthy, Silver Moon, Deschutes, Atlas and Wild Ride, there’s an even larger

selection of national and regional mainstays. For example, Eugene’s Ninkasi Brewing is bringing the “Oak Ages Sleigh’r”, a dark double alt aged in Heaven Hills bourbon barrels for 16 months, as well as a Belgian style tripel.

My personal favorite Portland brew team, The Green Dragon Brew Crew, is bringing “Summer Wood,” a pale with Centennial and Simcoe hops aged for three days in a Rogue whiskey barrel, as well as “Descent into Darkness.” For that one, Green Dragon took their Russian Imperial Stout recipe and aged it in a bourbon barrel for several weeks before cellaring it for eight months.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Allen from Worthy Brewing gave us a hint of what they would be bringing to the tap.

“Tap one is 'Lyrical Genius' (ABV 8 percent), our take on a Belgian Flanders Red that was aged in Sangiovese barrels for 18 months, resulting in notes of tobacco, dried fruit and fresh berries. Tap two is 'Green Gose' (ABV 4.5 percent), which isn’t barrel aged and perhaps sort of a respite station from some of the bigger beers being poured at the fest. We went classic with malted wheat and sea salt, but instead of coriander, added fresh Thai basil and lime leaves for an herb-

al and tart finish. We have a library of barrel-aged beer that we bust out just for occasions such as this. It’s all chosen based on what’s tasting good and then blended accordingly.”

The event is nestled in the lawn and parking lot outside the Des Chutes Historical Museum, giving the entire affair a sense of a beautiful, well-attended secret. Roy explains: “It’s more intimacy than exclusivity. The nature of those kind of brews (and we’re not just talking beers, but cider as well now) tend to be more expensive because there’s a lot more time and effort invested into that. That tends to weed out the drunk-a-thon piece of it.”

The Little Woody truly celebrates the artistic side of the craft brew culture. That artistry is what gets Roy excited for the event every year. “My deep dark secret is that I’m really not that into beer...but I love the creative process. The Woody is about that, about the individual expression of small batch beers.” SW The Little Woody Friday, Sept. 2 & Saturday, Sept. 3 Friday, 5-10pm & Saturday, noon-10pm Des Chutes Historical Museum, 129 NW Idaho Ave., Bend $5-$30

Kester explains that she often draws to understand her dreams and incorporates them in her artistic process. During the course of her art career Kester noticed the titles of her pieces growing longer and longer, and now each piece is accompanied with a story. She explains that the story is just as important as the piece and it comes through the artwork as it is being created. “Each piece has its own life, they do not belong to me,” Kester days.

Schelz, meanwhile, says she uses more basic titles and lets the pieces explain themselves through the eyes of the viewer. “Each piece is interpreted differently by each person. I just let it happen.” Schelz’s stained glass pieces have been on display at Nancy P’s for three years and each piece is vastly different.

“Sometimes I joke that this is the Mare Schelz gallery,” said Clabough. “You can see the evolution of Mare through the pieces.” Some of the pieces are intricate landscapes of various places around Central Oregon and others are simply beautiful geometrics with titles like, “Flower Power.” The lux nova produced by the pieces of stained glass gives Nancy P’s a dreamlike feel.

Schelz works as a full time artist in Bend.

As a Montessori art teacher, Schelz says her focus is on what she calls, “Earth Art,” which incorporates an array of projects and materials that are mostly Earth-based. Schelz tries to use as many recycled materials in her projects as possible. Almost all the windows, frames and glass pieces used in her artwork are either donated or recycled.

Schelz and Kester’s art is on display through Sept. 10. SW

CHOW Wild Game and Foraged Finds

LITTLE BITES

By Angela Moore

Dinner with Hank Shaw celebrates "Buck, Buck, Moose"

By Dana Bartus

29

Make Lunch Great Again I hate to break it to you, but summer is almost over. School is starting back up, the laid-back-casual mentality is coming to a close, and the busy-busy mode is now the only gear you’ve got. It’s common for things to fall out of rhythm; laundry becomes a distant memory that you now consider a lavender-scented luxury, and eating…can a human be sustained by a mix of desk-stashable foods? Let’s not find out. With that in mind, here are a couple of not-so-obvious quick lunch ideas for the months ahead.

For foodies looking to cook wild game, Hank Shaw’s books are your go-to. Get a taste at the upcoming event 9/9. Photos by Holly A. Heyser.

I

f there is any event to be excited about this fall in Bend’s culinary scene, this is it. DRAKE is hosting the fifth stop on a nationwide tour promoting James Beard Award-winning author Hank Shaw’s third cookbook, “Buck, Buck, Moose: Recipes and Techniques for Cooking Deer, Elk, Moose, Antelope and Other Antlered Things.” The comprehensive read provides a global perspective on each animal from nose to tail.

muscles, herbal medicine and wild beer.

His genuine passion for wild food and his uninhibited realness shine through on each page.

Game can be difficult to cook; it’s different than beef, so generally people fall back on old recipes because they don’t want to ruin their meat. Shaw provides readers with more knowledge and techniques and offers tested recipes to experiment with. His website, Honest-Food.net, is an encyclopedia for novice or professional chefs, hunters, fishermen, and foragers, so it’s no wonder that he won the JBA Best Food Blog Author in 2013. Hank covers it all, from tips in the field to the tools and methods for preparation, preservation, sausage making and the alchemy of charcuterie. Watch how-to videos on how to pluck a dove or sear a flatfish, and read essays on the importance of timing, the hunter’s paradox of loving what they kill and the emotions involved with taking another living being’s life. In his podcast, “Hunt Gather Talk,” he discusses how to get started as a mushroom hunter, curing whole

Shaw openly shares that, “This is my tour, not one set up by a publisher, and it’s on my own dime. It’s worth every penny to connect with readers.”

The Sept. 1 printing of “Buck, Buck, Moose” will commence a grueling six-month schedule for Shaw, with over 50 events through 35 states. It includes non-traditional signings, cooking and butchery demos, as well as presentations on “How To Get the Most from Your Venison.” Most of the stops are book dinners, like DRAKE’s, where readers get a much more personal connection with the author and the opportunity to celebrate the book’s printing around the table.

After the premiere of his first book, “Hunt, Gather, Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast,” Shaw received countless requests to visit readers across the US. In the spirit of leaving nothing on the track, he responded by getting into his pickup and meeting the people on the other end of the email.

DRAKE is known locally for its comfortable environment and authenticity, and wild game and foraged food have been staples on their menu since day one. Chef John Gurnee hails from Shaw’s hometown of Sacramento.

Add that to their shared passion for preparing game and you can pretty much guarantee a good meal. Don’t expect recipes direct from the book; it’s more of a collaboration, where the chef will take Shaw’s recipes and make them his own. Think of it as a professional version of the book’s intent, with less cleanup for you.

Dinner will be presented in four courses with family-style salads and entrees. And of course, there will be optional wine and cocktail pairings.

The menu will showcase fresh veggies from Radical Roots Farm, venison loin rubbed in beef fat (currently dry-aging in DRAKE’s cooler), matsutake mushrooms, chanterelles, elk leg, venison tartare, grilled quail and marionberry cobbler. With each plate comes a signed copy of the book, and a unique experience. Through the course of the evening Hank will visit each table individually, allowing for more conversation time. If you’re into hunting, fishing or foraging, or if you ever thought about learning more, make a reservation just for the sake of picking Hank’s brain.

Market of Choice - The name of the business is pretty on point, because they do have a lot to choose from. There are ready-made items such as soups, sushi, pizza, deli items and a hot food bar (that changes monthly) to pick from, but they also have built-to-order sandwiches, burgers and burritos. The prices vary on each item, but on average you’re looking to spend about $8 per item. Open daily from 7am-11pm. 115 NW Sisemore St., Bend. SW

The Best Beer Fest on Earth

Brews for New Avenues redefines what an event should be

Photo by Matthew Lasala

Fans of rare beers partake at the best brewfest that you've probably never heard of.

S

ummer might be ending, but beer events continue to downpour across all of Oregon. The Bend Brewfest has ended, yes, but it won’t be long before both Sisters and Hood River hold their respective fresh-hop beer festivals, for example. (And speaking of Hood River, Crow's Feet Commons is holding an event this Thursday, Sept. 1, pairing five pFriem Family Brewers beers with five dim sum offerings from Anna Witham of The Root Cellar. Be there or be sober/hungry.)

However—and no offense meant to all the many festivals that highlight the Oregon landscape—but there’s no event like Brews for New Avenues, held at Portland’s Leftbank Annex last week.

Simply put, the VIP ticket for this event (which costs $70 and usually goes on sale in May) is one of the soundest investments beer fans can make.

What is BFNA? On the surface, the event (which benefits Portland-based charity New Avenues for Youth) is a typical beer fest—show up, purchase tokens, exchange them for beer tasters.

That’s what the $10 general admission provides, and even that’s still worth the time to attend, thanks to the quality of beer on hand. Tillamook’s de Gar-

Tai Chi

de Brewing produced two different wild-fermented beers exclusively for the show, and kegs from big-name outfits like Block 15 and Denmark’s To Øl were on hand. The overall focus is on the wild, the uncommon and the novel.

But BFNA differs from the rest of the pack for two reasons: the VIP session, and the beer auctions. Getting one of the 150 VIP tickets unlocks access to a separate afternoon event with tons of catered food and even more rare stuff on tap, no tokens required. It also lets visitors join the silent auction, bidding on bottles and packages of some of the most sought-after beer on the planet.

The New Avenues charity earned over $150,000 from this year’s auction, and it’s clear to see why, when stuff like rare Belgian gueuze and 18-bottle vertical flights of Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout are on offer. A three-liter bottle of Fou’ Foune, the apricot wild ale from the world-renowned Cantillon brewery in Belgium, was one of the hottest auctions—it went for just over $3,000 after the dust settled. (There’s tons of reasonably-priced beer, too, including a “beer wall” that offers lucky-dip bombers of rare bottles for $10 a pop.) SW

MEET ONE OF OUR FARMERS: SARAHLEE LAWRENCE, RAINSHADOW ORGANICS HOW LONG HAVE YOU AND JACKSON’S BEEN COLLABORATING? We have been working with Jacksons from the beginning, about 8 years. We would pull in front of Jacksons and they used to take misc vegetables right from our trailer. Now it’s a little diff erent, when Jacksons makes a commitment to buy something it’s a big deal for us (as farmers), as they buy an entire fi eld of potatoes or wheat.

HOW MANY ACRES DO YOU PLANT? 27 acres of organic vegetables and ALOT of it goes to Jacksons!

DO YOU HAVE ANIMALS? We have 30 cows, 500 chickens, 6 milk goats, a bee hive and 100 hogs. Jacksons gets a pig from us

every other week for their restaurants (Rainshadow Organics pork is used in their weekly specials!).

IS BEING CERTIFIED ORGANIC HARD? It’s a challenge to be organic or to be any kind of a farmer... but it’s super important to be organic, it’s the BEST way to raise food.

RAINSHADOW ORGANICS is a 200 acre farm near Sisters, Oregon.

It’s smack dab in the middle of the desert and has 4 full time staff. rainshadoworganics.com

"Hell Or High Water" is a funeral march for the West

By Jared Rasic

RYAN TENNANT Job: Starbucks Barista Bio:

Ryan is a recently graduated biology student from the University of Oregon. He is a recently promoted Starbucks shift manager, as well as working with one of his favorite professors doing field research for Oregon Wildlife in Central Oregon.

They rob banks and look very good doing it in “Hell or High Water.”

T

here’s a moment early on in “Hell or High Water” in which two Texas Rangers are driving through the West Texas countryside headed to a crime scene. A large brushfire has taken control in the fields and a group of middle-aged cowboys are herding some cows across the road, away from the burning plains. When one of the Rangers asks if they need help, the cowboy smiles and says something like “This is the 21st century and we’re herding cattle away from a fire towards a river. No wonder my kids don’t want to do this for a living.”

That casual statement permeates every single moment of “Hell or High Water,” a modern American western that deals with poverty, violence and American expectations better than any movie of the last decade. It’s a philosophy that shapes every choice of the four main characters and shades the West Texas scenery with a sense of Sisyphean pointlessness and moral ambivalence.

The film follows two sets of partners: Toby Howard (Chris Pine going for broke) and his brother Tanner (Ben Foster, once again proving he’s the finest character-actor of his generation), who are on a bank robbing spree. They have to make around

$40,000 by the end of the week or the bank will foreclose on their family ranch. Tanner couldn’t really care less, but Toby wants to have something to leave his children, something tangible so they don’t have to grow up with nothing like he did.

Meanwhile, Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (Jeff Bridges) and his partner Alberto Parker (Gil Birmingham) are tasked with finding the men. Hamilton is three weeks from retirement and driving Parker up the wall with his mildly racist jabs at Parker’s mixed Native American/Mexican heritage.

Hamilton looks at the hunt-and-capture of the bank robbers as his last hurrah before moving on to full-time alcoholism.

“Hell or High Water” can play as a simple and straightforward modern western crime thriller, but it works even better when viewed as a bottle of beer poured on the grave of the American dream. The film’s thesis is straightforward: The Wild West is dead in 2016 and the cowboys who expect any different head to their graves with nothing except for an antiquated view on what freedom really means anymore. The wide-open spaces have fences around them now and we are most definitely not invited in.

Tanner spent a decade in prison for shooting his abusive father, so he views his freedom as something he can barely abide by as he violently lashes out at anyone who gets too close. Toby cares about his legacy while not necessarily caring about himself. Hamilton wants one more chance to be a real-live Texas Lawman before taking the gold watch and shuffling off to slowly die on his porch. Parker upholds the law while knowing that the banks and the white men behind them decide how to profit from those laws.

“Hell or High Water” is the best film of its kind since “No Country For Old Men,” and the best film of the year so far. In a summer when most of the huge blockbusters were even bigger disappointments, this film (along with other notables like “Green Room,” “The Lobster” and “Swiss Army Man”) has made 2016 an indelible year in film. SW

Ryan Tennant, a recent graduate from U of O.

1. What is your favorite film? Why? “There Will Be Blood” is one of my favorites because it exemplifies the process of storytelling. The script, along with the cast—particularly Daniel Day-Lewis—build investment in the characters, the story and ends with a brilliant climax. It feels like a complete story ending with the line, “I’m finished!” Beautiful.

2. Why do you feel film is important to the culture of a community?

It is a form of media that can express so many different ideas in so many different ways. It is such a broad art form, anyone can create their own.

3. Who is your favorite film character?

I would say “the funny guy” is my favorite character in any movie. It seems cliché but what’s best is when the funny guy is in a serious or scary movie, that’s when I identify with them the most. A comedic break can make a movie great even if it’s not the main focus.

4. If you could describe your life as a film, which one would it be?

"Hell or High Water" Dir. David Mackenzie Grade: A+ Now playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

I can’t think of one in particular but probably a comedy or romantic comedy starring a Paul Rudd or a Jason Sudeikis type, opposite a girl way out of his league, filled with terrible puns and ending with a dance number that no one wanted but got anyway. SW

How Horror Got Its Groove Back

"Don’t Breathe" lives up to the title

By Jared Rasic

" Dont Think Twice"

SC

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

BEN-HUR: This remake is on schedule to be the biggest flop of the year so far and a large reason for that is a complete misunderstanding of its audience. Why remake such a timeless classic like Ben-Hur? To spruce up the chariot race with better special effects and throw Morgan Freeman in there for good measure? The trailers never made anyone care about seeing this, so no one did. Simple as that. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DON’T BREATHE: This is easily one of the You will never unsee what these two characters are looking at right here.

Growing up, I thought it was really easy to make a horror movie. Just a few gallons of blood, a tall chap in a mask with something sharp, some screaming teenagers running around hoping for the best, and you’re good. Sadly, as I’ve gotten older I’ve needed a bit more from my horror films. Don’t get me wrong, slasher films are still my boo— but now, if there are characters to care about, some nice camera work and a script that doesn’t think I’m stupid, the film transcends the genre completely.

There is even a term for it now. It’s called “Elevated Horror,” and “Don’t Breathe” fits the bill nicely. It’s incredibly condescending to the genre to basically say that if the film is well made, acted and written, it’s “elevated,” but I’ve long since stopped expecting horror to get the respect it deserves.

“Don’t Breathe” elevates the genre simply by inverting everything we come to expect from horror. Technically, it’s “home invasion” horror, but instead of following the terrified occupants of the home, our heroes are the invaders.

Rocky, her boyfriend Money, and her best friend Alex have been robbing houses, mostly so Rocky can escape horrific Detroit with her little sister to get away from her awful home life. The three youngsters break into the house of an old blind man who is supposed to have around $300K in cash somewhere on the premises. However, the blind man has a few secrets in his well-protected home, and he will kill anyone who threatens that secret. As the kids find themselves deeper in the house and start uncovering the sinister layers of the old blind man, the film veers sharply

away from thriller territory and deep into the land of horror.

The sound design and direction of the film are almost perfect. Once things kick off and the blind man is aware of their presence, the film doesn’t ease up for a moment. The tension escalates so flawlessly that every creak of a floorboard or rustle of clothing becomes another reason to grip the armrests tighter. Normally when a horror movie really works, it’s because of escalation and how intense the final 10 minutes or so become, but the entire final hour of “Don’t Breathe” is absolutely grueling.

There is a set-piece in the film where the blind man has two of the thieves in his basement and turns out all of the lights, stalking them in the darkness that he’s used to. The camera dances through the room in beautiful black and white night-vision photography, showing us our poor heroes as they edge closer to the unbalanced man with the gun. It’s a bravura sequence that was so tense that I found myself holding my breath for long stretches of time.

Whether horror is elevated or not, the genre deserves respect because it’s the only one that goes after our lizard brain.

Paying someone $12 to scare the crap out of us should seem counter-intuitive, but it’s actually fun—that primal sense of safe danger. “Don’t Breathe” peeked inside my lizard brain and laughed at my fear. Shut up and take my money. SW "Don’t Breathe" Dir. Fede Alvarez Grade: ANow playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

most intense movies of the last several years.

When some down-on-their-luck youngsters break into the house of an old blind man, they find horrors they are truly not prepared for.

As the blind man stalks the kids through his dark and disturbing house, they will have to use every tool at their disposal not to end up very, very dead. Soon to be a modern horror classic. See full review at left. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DON’T THINK TWICE: From the creative team behind “Sleepwalk With Me,” “Don’t Think Twice” is a comedy/drama about the difficulties of stand-up comedy. Two members of an improv troupe get their big break while everyone else in the group has to face that they might not make it big after all. Keegan-Michael Key stars in one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the year. Tin Pan Theater FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS: Based on the true story of a woman who couldn’t sing to save her life but became an opera singer anyway. There’s an important lesson to be learned here: that your dreams should be followed unless they’re unrealistic and painful for others. That’s it. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HELL OR HIGH WATER: Coming in at the tail end of summer, “Hell or High Water” is being hailed as one of the best films of the year and one of the best modern westerns since “No Country For Old Men.” This tells the tale of a pair of brothers who rob banks in West Texas to save the family farm. The cast, including Jeff Bridges, Ben Foster and Chris Pine, is flawless and the script by “Sicario’s” Taylor Sheridan is enveloping. Combat blockbuster season with this one. See full review on p. 33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE: A delinquent city kid raised in foster care heads out to the wilds of the New Zealand countryside for a fresh start. After trying to settle down, the young man runs away to hide in the wilderness, only to be found by his caretaker Hec (Sam Neill). Tin Pan Theater

KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS: This new animated gem from Portland-based animation studio Laika has to be seen to be believed. The film has the finest stop-motion

animation ever put on film and tells a story that grips the audience right away. A young boy teams up with a sword-wielding monkey and a samurai beetle to fight his demonic and deadly family members. This might be a little too scary for the very young kids, but older ones and parents will love it. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

LO AND BEHOLD- REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD: Werner Herzog has made some of the finest narratives and documentaries of all time and this one shouldn’t be any different. In this documentary, Herzog takes his typically dry and self-deprecating focus and aims it at the internet, creating something both chilling and thought-provoking. Tin Pan Theater

MECHANIC: RESURRECTION: We don’t often get sequels to movies that underperform in the box office, but then again, a new Jason Statham is always something to enjoy.

This time our violent and badass mechanic/ assassin must come out of retirement to commit three impossible murders to save the life of his kidnapped wife. At worst, Statham’s movies are entertaining, but it probably won’t be all bad in the long run. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PETE’S DRAGON: This is a remake of a movie most people either don’t remember or remember fondly. A young boy and his pet dragon hang out in the forest and go on adventures until humanity butts its ugly nose into their business. Advanced reviews for this one are phenomenal, as it’s being called the best children’s movie since “The Iron Giant.”

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SAUSAGE PARTY: The unconventional tale of a sausage, a lavash, a bagel and a hot dog bun that go on an adventure to find the meaning of life in a massive grocery store.

Gleefully profane and much smarter than it seems on its surface, “Sausage Party” is a deceptively profound look at organized religion and being true to your nature, regardless of how scary it might be. Do not bring the kids to this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU: This is a romantic dramatization of the first date of Barack and Michelle Obama. Told in a similar style as Richard Linklater’s “Before Sunrise,” the film follows Barack and Michelle throughout an entire summer’s day in 1989, traveling around Chicago’s Southside getting to know each other. The trailers are funny and charming, but the film probably won’t be seen for what it is because of hot-button political divisiveness.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SUICIDE SQUAD: With Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker, the star power is there, but early reviews say it’s another incomprehensible mess. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WAR DOGS: A light and almost bubbly look at international gun running. Jonah Hill and Miles Teller play a couple of 20-somethings that get sucked into the high stakes world of selling guns and ammunition to the United States government. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SW

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 35 / September 1, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

BAD MOMS: It doesn’t look like the funniest movie in the world, but “Bad Moms” sports a phenomenal cast and the writers of the original “Hangover,” so maybe it’s worth more of a chance. Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Kathryn Hahn star as a trio of overworked moms who snap and decide to binge on just about any damn thing they choose. It’s an original idea for a flick, so let's hope the script is stronger than the trailers. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

OUTSIDE Scuba Dooba Do!

Learn diving in high-altitude Bend and you’ll be ready to dive anywhere

OREGON OLYMPIC ROUND-UP

By Russ Axon

By Russ Axon

When it comes to Olympic athletes, Oregon has more than its fair share

Think your scuba days in Central Oregon are numbered? It's not too late to get trained this September. Photo courtesy of Sarah Clark.

W

ith summer’s end just around the corner, it feels like the season is making a final push to oppress Bend with high temperatures. Still, there are plenty of ways to beat the heat, from air-conditioned buildings to floating the Deschutes to stalking an ice cream truck. One extreme alternative, though, allows Bendites to not only submerge themselves in cool, refreshing waters, but also explore an entirely different world.

Scuba diving provides an underwater escape for both the recreational adventurer as well as the professional diver.

Here in Bend, Central Oregon Diving removes the intimidation of learning scuba diving by offering classes, equipment and diving opportunities around the world.

To get started, though, new divers are trained in Bend. “The water’s great right now! At this time of the year, I think the water surface averages in the low '70s. It’s very pleasant,” says Sarah Clark, a Central Oregon Diving member. Clark organizes several dives throughout the year, including certification dives.

She’s currently preparing for an upcoming weekend dive at Cultus Lake from Sept. 10-11, which will be slightly different from Central Oregon Diving’s other events.

The Rubber Ducky Scavenger Hunt is a customer appreciation event that also includes raffle prizes and a potluck.

“It’ll be a great chance for the classes to hang out, meet other divers, plan future dives. It’ll be fun,” says Clark.

Diving to new depths The September dives will cap a five-day course for the latest class of scuba divers, but it’s definitely not the last class Central Oregon Diving will graduate this year. “(Scuba diving is) a year-round thing,” Clark said. “It doesn’t really slow down, it stays constant because in the winter people say, ‘I want to go someplace with sun and palm trees.’”

Central Oregon Diving accommodates new and experienced divers with monthly classes at both Cultus Lake and Lake Billy Chinook.

Clark says scuba diving in Central Oregon is inherently a challenging experience thanks to the elevation; scuba dives that start at 1,000 feet or higher above sea level are called “altitude dives.” Clark explained that altitude dives essentially make a diver feel like she is swimming deeper than she actually is. Specifically, altitude dives affect a diver’s decompression rate, otherwise known as the amount of time it takes for her body to readjust to air pressure at surface level. Since air pressure is lower at higher altitudes, a diver factors her decompression rate at a “theoretical” depth, instead of her actual depth.

For example, diving 100 feet at 5,000 feet elevation is equivalent to diving 120 feet at sea level.

“Pretty much every dive here is an altitude dive,” Clark said. “So when we certify people here, they have more tools and training because they’ve dived at altitude, so they can dive anywhere.”

And she really means anywhere. Central Oregon Diving has organized trips to Belize, Palau and Cancun, among other eclectic locations. Clark said they are currently planning a December trip to Little Cayman, along with an excursion to Cozumel next year.

While traveling to scuba dive is exciting, Clark said Bend has plenty of amazing dive spots, too. “We have a lot of beautiful high lakes that you can only get to in the summer. There’s not a lot of fish, but there is a lot of clarity,” she said.

Clark added that it’s a great family sport (Central Oregon Diving offers children’s classes), and that scuba diving is great physical and mental exercise.

“It really is a calm, controlled, slow-moving sport. If you’re doing things too quickly, you’re not thinking,” she said. “It is the most relaxing, comforting and coolest thing for me.

It’s better than therapy. Everything we do is loud and fast and noisy, so if I can get away from that for a few minutes, it’s awesome.” SW Central Oregon Diving 157 NE Greenwood Ave., Bend centraloregondiving.com

As the countries entered the Rio track and field stadium at the start of this year’s Olympics, the U.S.A. paraded in 558 athletes. At least 60 of those athletes could be traced back to Oregon in some way, whether it was their hometown, school, career or training spot. According to “The Washington Post,” almost 20 of those Oregonian athletes currently or formerly played for the University of Oregon—more than the total number of Afghanistan and Mozambique athletes combined. And when not competing in the Olympics, about a quarter of the women on this year’s USA women’s soccer team plays for the Portland Thorns.

Track and field is the state’s bread and butter, though. The presence of Nike and the University of Portland make Oregon an athletic gold mine that attracts some of the top athletes in the world. Bendites don’t have to travel far for Olympic winners, either. Locally, runners from the Oregon Track Club Elite in Eugene strutted their stuff this year with several medal wins: Brianne Theisen-Eaton won bronze in the heptathlon. Francine Niyonsaba won silver in the 800 meters. While those two incredible athletes represented different countries—Canada and Burundi, respectively—Bend’s own Ashton Eaton successfully defended his championship status, winning another gold medal in this year’s decathlon. The Mountain View High School alum tied the Olympic record for the event with an impressive 8,893 points.

Between his back-to-back Olympic wins and successive world championships in the decathlon, Eaton solidified his title as the Best All-Around Athlete in the World.

In an interview with AOL News, Eaton described what it felt like to win his second gold medal: “It’s like (having) two chocolate cakes at different times. It’s the same chocolate cake but your experience is different each time.”

The Source congratulates Ashton Eaton and all our Oregonian Olympians on their awesome performances this year! SW

You’re not likely to get a snake bite, but just in case you do…

I

s the fear of being stung or bitten so bad that you’re forsaking that fishing or camping trip to stay “safe” at home?

Boy, I hope not!

on the hand, remove your watch and rings. Position yourself so that the bite is at or below the level of your heart. If you have to be transported in your vehicle to get to medical help, make sure you’re comfortable and calm, with the bitten area below your heart and resting on something, not just dangling.

Forget snakes and spiders, the most dangerous thing any of us can do today is drive your motor vehicle. The number of humans and pets killed by rattlesnakes or stung by bees and wasps is nothing compared to those who have been maimed and killed in motor vehicle mishaps.

Way back in the late ‘70s I was the manager of Ramey Canyon Preserve in Southeast Arizona, aka The Hummingbird Capitol of the World. My son, Dean, 16 at the time, often led nature hikes into the upper part of the preserve. One day he was bitten by a little twin-spotted rattlesnake (or was it a rock rattlesnake, I can’t remember…). When I arrived to see how he was doing, he was sitting next to Ramey Creek, his hand in the cold water.

Grinning at me, he said, “Sorry, pop.”

In bringing up the subject of venomous animals and poisonous plants I am NOT trying to be a sensationalist, scare-monger, or a smart-alec, I’m just saying, “Hey, please wait a minute before you bash that bee, wasp, snake or stinging nettle.”

I apologize for making you uncomfortable if you live in fear of being bitten by a snake or stung by a bee, but based on the wave of phone calls and emails coming my way, this must be the insect stinging season, and there must be a rattlesnake behind every bush.

Unfortunately, most of the scary stuff about bees, wasps and snakes is passed down from one generation to the next.

It happened time and time again when I was conducting science programs and running camps with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry; I’d run into a kid who couldn’t even talk about stings and bites because of some horror story passed down from one generation to the next.

There is one thing everyone should realize right from the get-go, however. If you bother a bunch of bees you’re asking for it. Yellow jackets do have a short fuse, and if they’re having a bad day you can ruin yours if you get too close.

Still, if you are one of those unfortunate people who have a violent reaction to wasps and bee stings, then all this is inconsequential. You should never place yourself in the position to get stung, and if you accidentally do, you should have the tool(s) on your person to nullify what happens next.

WHO ARE WE? WHERE DID WE COME FROM? WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE? WHAT IS OUR DESTINY? WWW.SEEKANDYOUWILLFIND.ORG

Spider Hawks: Be Sure to Give Way When it comes to a venomous sting, this is one of the culprits you should really watch out for: the female spider hawk and her kin. Most are black, they all twitch when on the ground, and this one is about to drag that spider she paralyzed off to her burrow, lay an egg on it, and bury it. Photo by Jim Anderson.

So, what’s this about “poison” versus “venom?”

To start with, “poison” comes from plants, while “venom” comes from animals. You can’t get venom from stinging nettle, but you can get it from a stinging insect. There is no poison involved with a rattlesnake, unless it’s been camping in poison ivy. Neither will you get any “poison” if it bites you, but you will have “venom” injected into some part of your tender body. If you end up in a doctor’s care, he or she will treat you for a “venomous bite.” If you fall into a patch of poison ivy the treatment will be for just that, “poison.”

Bitten by a Rattlesnake? Here’s What to Do I’ll be the first to admit, a rattlesnake can—at times—strike first and rattle next, but it’s extremely rare. The best first aid is first to know that you’re in rattlesnake country. Reaching into a big sagebrush—without looking first—for

a rare agate or opal in Wasco, parts of Deschutes, Lake, Jefferson or Harney Counties may not be the smartest move.

If you’re going into rattlesnake country, do an online search for “rattlesnake first aid kit.” They’re available from 21 to 270 bucks. Take your pick and follow the directions!

If you’re bitten by a rattlesnake, please don’t go at that old “cut-and-suck” routine. Your mouth is a cesspool and the chances for secondary infection are wonderful. The first and most important thing to do is to sit down and stay calm. (Oh yeah, as if you can stay calm right after you’ve just been injected with rattlesnake venom…) But above all, don’t run around shouting, “I’ve been bitten by a rattlesnake, I’ve been bitten by a rattlesnake!” That behavior can kill you.

First, make sure you’ve actually been bitten. Are there fang marks? Is there any blood? Is it yours? Is there any real pain?

Where’s the snake? If you’ve been bitten

But of all the animals and insects we share space with on this beautiful planet Earth, the one I give a lot of room to is the female spider hawk—a wasp with an attitude. I’ve never been stung by one of those beautiful gals, but I have chatted with a fellow who has, and his was a horror story out of Hollywood.

The pain, according to him, caused him to pass out. He said it was like someone had pushed a red-hot needle into his hand, then hit it with a hammer. That’s the reason I illustrated this piece with (one of) our local spider hawks. If you blunder into a confrontation with a female spider hawk—and get stung—what you get from a yellow jacket will feel like a friendly pat on the back.

In closing, yes we do have scorpions here.

Most are the Mordant scorpion, but none of them pack the wallop offered by the little green Centruroides of the southwest U.S. But even at that, there hasn’t been a fatality from a scorpion sting in Arizona for over 40 years. When it comes to spiders, the only native spider we have that can cause you harm is the female black widow. SW

Hope for Credit-Challenged Buyers: FHA Loans

M

FHA loans are often viewed as a firsttime buyer’s loan, but they are available to almost anyone who qualifies for a mortgage. Recently, the FHA lowered its credit score requirements to 580 for a 3.5 percent down payment loan, and if your score is below that, you still qualify for a 10 percent down payment loan with a score of 500-579. FHA loans have additional requirements with which homebuyers need to become familiar and be prepared. A web search of “FHA Loan Requirements” will lead to links to HUD and various lender websites with a wealth of information. A good lender will also be able to help with information that will save you money in terms of what to look for in the condition of the home.

Another recent step forward with the FHA is in the area of condominium pur-

chases. Condos have long been inaccessible to FHA-qualified buyers because of the 50 percent owner occupancy requirement the FHA imposed on condominium developments. Condominiums have been popular with investors and investor purchases have reduced the owner occupancy percentages, making an affordable housing purchase inaccessible to FHA buyers, particularly in high condo states such as Florida.

41 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 35 / September 1, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

any people who are renting today are paying more than they would with a mortgage. At the same time, those renters may think they can’t qualify for a loan because of damaged credit and more stringent loan requirements.

Conventional loan criteria require higher credit scores than in the past, but the good news is that Federal Housing Administration loans make homeownership in reach for many credit-challenged buyers. There has also been a relaxing of FHA rules on condos, which might provide some new opportunities.

President Obama recently signed HR3700, the “Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act,” thereby reducing the minimum owner occupancy rate from 50 percent to 35 percent and relaxing some other regulations. Another interesting modification from this law deals with mixed-use developments. Previously, if commercial space was greater than 25 percent of the total building or development (i.e. homes on top of businesses), the homes did not qualify for FHA financing. New rules will be changing that criteria to what is normal for the area.

Ending our affordable housing crisis will require much more effort than this, but it is nice to see some action being taken that will help new homebuyers and those needing more affordable housing alternatives.

ASTROLOGY

ADVICE GODDESS

Dr. Filler

I’m a woman in my late 20s. Guys don’t have car crashes looking at me, but I am pretty and have a nice boyfriend. I have three drop-dead gorgeous girlfriends who are perpetually single, but not by choice.

I realized that they all do two things: complain that things never work out with a guy and constantly post stunning selfies on Facebook. One takes a daily pic in her car, showing how hot she looks. When I mentioned this to my boyfriend, he said guys want a hot girlfriend but they don’t want one who does that. Please explain.

I was a married man for a long time, but about a year ago, after grieving my divorce, I got into friends-with-benefits things with two different women. (Neither knows about the other.) We like each other, but we don’t call or text regularly or discuss whether we’re seeing anybody else. Well, last month, I met this great woman and felt a real romantic connection. We haven’t slept together because I want to end these FWB things first. My question is: How do I do that? What does a woman who isn’t a girlfriend but has been having semi-regular sex with a man want to hear that will not hurt her?

—Wondering Sure, getting other people to like you starts with liking yourself—just not to the point where you’re dozing off in front of the mirror.

Selfie posting, not surprisingly, has been associated with narcissism—being a self-absorbed, self-important user with a lack of empathy and a sucking need for admiration. But consider that there are nuances to what sort of person posts selfies and why. There are those who post selfies in keeping with their interests—like “here’s today’s outfit!” (because they’re into fashion) or “here I am about to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel” (because they are into adventure travel and are also kind of an idiot).

Though these “stuff I like!” shots include a picture of the person, they’re ultimately about some hobby or interest they have.

And then there’s the person—like these women you mention—who simply posts endless vanity shots, like “it’s Monday, and I’m still alive, and aren’t I pretty? #WeAllHaveOurCrossToBear” Clinical psychologist Christopher T. Barry and his colleagues found that posting a lot of “physical appearance selfies” is associated with a subtype of narcissism, “vulnerable narcissism.” Vulnerable narcissism involves self-worth that’s “highly contingent” on what others think, “hypervigilance” about rejection, and a tendency to manufacture a facade to protect against rejection. (“Grandiose narcissism” is the louder, more domineering subtype most of us think of as narcissism.)

Yes, like ice cream and medical marijuana, narcissism comes in different flavors.

Though you can probably feel for the vulnerable narcissists, they also come up short on empathy. They just do it more quietly. Chances are, guys who want more than a hookup or arm candy see a slew of “Worship me!” selfies as a generic sign of narcissism—and a big flashing danger sign telling them to look elsewhere. As the saying goes, “beauty fades…” but unempathetic is forever.

—Concerned The really terrible breakups are those where the other party just won’t let go— like when the gym chain or cable company makes you talk with three “retention specialists” and show the lease to your new place 6,343 miles away, with no access to transportation but a rickety footbridge over a 400-foot chasm.

However, most helpfully, Paul Mongeau, who researches communication in relationships, finds that there are three different levels of friends-with-benefits relationships: “true friends,” “network opportunism,” and “just sex.” “True friends” mean something to each other. They know and care about each other and also have sex. “Network opportunists” are a step down from true friends. They’re people in the same social group (or “network”) who aren’t really friends but are friendly enough to go home together if neither meets anybody better at the bar. And lowest on the FWB ladder is what you have—the “just sex” thing. The just sexers don’t hate each other or anything, but, as the researchers explain, for them, the “friend” in FWB “is a misnomer.” They’re in each other’s life for one reason: to be sexual grout.

It bodes well for the woman you want that you care so much about being kind to the women you don’t. But consider that you probably have deeper and more frequent conversations with the guy who makes your burrito at Chipotle. So, for these women, losing their “just sex” man will be inconvenient and annoying but probably not as heartbreaking as needing to find a new plumber. Just politely inform them that you have to end it because you’ve started seeing somebody (and not just for 45 minutes at 1 in the morning).

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Play a joke on your nervous anxiety. Leap off the ground or whirl in a circle five times as you shout, “I am made of love!” Learn the words and melody to a new song that lifts your mood whenever you sing it.

Visualize yourself going on an adventure that will amplify your courage and surprise your heart. Make a bold promise to yourself, and acquire an evocative object that will symbolize your intention to fulfill that promise. Ask yourself a soul-shaking question you haven’t been wise enough to investigate before now. Go to a wide-open space, spread your arms out in a greeting to the sky, and pray for a vision of your next big goal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Illuminati do not want you to receive the prophecy I have prepared for you. Nor do the Overlords of the New World Order, the Church of the SubGenius, the Fake God that masquerades as the Real God, or the nagging little voice in the back of your head.

So why am I going ahead and divulging this oracle anyway? Because I love you. My loyalty is to you, not those shadowy powers. Therefore, I am pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to evade, ignore, undermine, or rebel against controlling influences that aren’t in alignment with your soul’s goals.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The dictionary says that the verb “to schmooze” means to chat with people in order to promote oneself or make a social connection that may prove to be advantageous. But that definition puts a selfish spin on an activity that can, at least sometimes, be carried out with artful integrity. Your assignment in the coming weeks is to perform this noble version of schmoozing. If you are offering a product or service that is beautiful or useful or both, I hope you will boost its presence and influence with the power of your good listening skills and smart conversations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are attuned with the cosmic rhythms in the coming weeks, you will be a source of teaching and leadership. Allies will feel fertilized by your creative vigor.

You’ll stimulate team spirit with your savvy appeals to group solidarity. If anyone can revive droopy procrastinators and demonstrate the catalytic power of gratitude, it’ll be you. Have you heard enough good news, Sagittarius, or can you absorb more? I expect that you’ll inspire interesting expressions of harmony that will replace contrived versions of togetherness. And every blessing you bestow will expand your capacity for attracting favors you can really use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional character known as Superman has one prominent vulnerability: the mineral kryptonite. When he’s near this stuff, it weakens his superpowers and may cause other problems. I think we all have our own versions of kryptonite, even if they’re metaphorical. For instance, my own superpowers tend to decline when I come into the presence of bad architecture, cheesy poetry, and off-pitch singing. How about you, Capricorn? What’s your version of kryptonite? Whatever it is, I’m happy to let you know that you are currently less susceptible to its debilitating influences than usual. Why? Well, you have a sixth sense about how to avoid it. And even if it does draw near, you have in your repertoire some new tricks to keep it from sapping your strength.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s quite possible you will receive seductive proposals in the coming weeks. You may also be invited to join your fortunes with potential collaborators who have almost fully awakened to your charms. I won’t be surprised if you receive requests to share your talents, offer your advice, or bestow your largesse. You’re a hot prospect, my dear. You’re an attractive candidate. You appear to be ripe for the plucking. How should you respond? My advice is to be flattered and gratified, but also discerning. Just because an inquiry is exciting doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Choose carefully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you like to

become a master of intimacy? Can you imagine yourself handling the challenges of togetherness with the skill of a great artist and the wisdom of a love genius? If that prospect appeals to you, now would be a favorable time to up your game. Here’s a hot tip on how to proceed: You must cultivate two seemingly contradictory skills. The first is the capacity to identify and nurture the best qualities in your beloved friend.

The second is the ability to thrive on the fact that healthy relationships require you to periodically wrestle with each other’s ignorance and immaturity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Truth decay is in its early stages. If you take action soon, you can prevent a full-scale decomposition. But be forewarned: Things could get messy, especially if you intervene with the relentless candor and clarity that will be required for medicinal purification. So what do you think? Are you up for the struggle? I understand if you’re not. I’ll forgive you if you simply flee. But if you decide to work your cagey magic, here are some tips. 1. Compile your evidence with rigor. 2. As much as is humanly possible, put aside rancor. Root your efforts in compassionate objectivity. 3. Even as you dig around in the unsightly facts, cherish the beautiful truths you’d like to replace them with.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you willing to lose at least some of your inhibitions? Are you curious to find out what it feels like to cavort like a wise wild child? If you want to fully cooperate with life’s plans, you will need to consider those courses of action. I am hoping that you’ll accept the dare, of course. I suspect you will thrive as you explore the pleasures of playful audacity and whimsical courage and effervescent experiments.

So be blithe, Taurus!

Be exuberant! Be open to the hypothesis that opening to jaunty and jovial possibilities is the single most intelligent thing you can do right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What’s the current status of your relationship with your feet? Have you been cultivating and cherishing your connection with the earth below you? The reason I ask, Gemini, is that right now it’s especially important for you to enjoy intimacy with gravity, roots, and foundations. Whatever leads you down and deeper will be a source of good fortune. Feeling grounded will provide you with an aptitude for practical magic. Consider the possibilities of going barefoot, getting a foot massage, or buying a new shoes that are both beautiful and comfortable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A woman in the final stages of giving birth may experience acute discomfort. But once her infant spills out into the world, her distress can transform into bliss.

I don’t foresee quite so dramatic a shift for you, Cancerian. But the transition you undergo could have similar elements: from uncertainty to grace; from agitation to relief; from constriction to spaciousness. To take maximum advantage of this blessing, don’t hold onto the state you’re leaving behind—or the feelings it aroused in you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In one of my dreams last night, a Leo sensualist I know advised me to take smart pills and eat an entire chocolate cheesecake before writing my next Leo horoscope. In another dream, my Leo friend Erica suggested that I compose your horoscope while attending an orgy where all the participants were brilliant physicists, musicians, and poets. In a third dream, my old teacher Rudolf (also a Leo) said I should create the Leo horoscope as I sunbathed on a beach in Maui while being massaged by two sexy geniuses. Here’s how I interpret my dreams: In the coming days, you can literally increase your intelligence by indulging in luxurious comforts and sensory delights.

Stigma follows those convicted of cannabis crimes, but new laws offer some hope

As more states legalize cannabis, what's to become of cannabis criminals? Photo by Shane T. McCoy.

P

eople who have been convicted of cannabis-related crimes live their lives with the proverbial scarlet letter sewn onto their shirts. To say these folks face difficulty in doing things many people take for granted is an understatement. Most people convicted of cannabis crimes cannot get a car or home loan, or often the kind of job that would make such a loan possible.

They are ineligible for federal housing benefits and federal education benefits, such as student grants and loans. They often cannot vote, own a firearm, or pass the kind of background check necessary to do volunteer work.

Cannabis “criminals” face a set of policies seemingly designed to drive them back to making money in the black market. Even if they are model citizens for decades, the conviction—and thus the stigma—persists. With cannabis now legal in Oregon, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission can still use cannabis convictions to disqualify an applicant for a cannabis business license or cannabis industry job.

fees necessary to erase the black mark on their permanent records.

The other legal avenue for those convicted of cannabis crimes is “expungement,” a legal procedure by which the convict applies to have the legal record of the conviction sealed, or “expunged.”

Expungement carries with it the legal right to say that the conviction never happened, a right that opens the door to jobs, loans, housing, and all the other opportunities of a normal American life. Colorado has no expungement law and a bill in the Washington legislature allowing expungement of cannabis-related crimes recently failed to pass. So in Washington, it seems there is no legal path to remove the stigma.

So, what happens to these Drug War casualties when the behavior they were convicted of is no longer criminal? The answer, unfortunately, is a rather limited path to social and legal redemption.

The differing answers in Colorado and Washington, the first states to fully legalize cannabis, illustrate the arbitrary nature of current cannabis laws for previous convictions.

In Oregon, the legislature passed two laws in 2015 that grant some limited relief. For offenses occurring before July 1, 2013, convicts can apply to have their convictions set aside. The court is required to consider the conduct under the current law, whereby cannabis possession, growing, and selling are all legal.

Courts are also required to give priority to requests for offenses occurring when the offender was under 21 years old.

Legal experts say Oregon’s law currently goes further than any other state in helping those convicted of cannabis crimes. But the opportunity is still limited by the legal fees necessary to petition the court to overturn the conviction, something that in the Bend legal market would cost between $1,000 and $5,000.

In Colorado, the state Court of Appeals overturned two 2011 convictions, citing the state’s cannabis legalization. Legal experts disagree whether this would allow all of the state’s cannabis convicts— nearly 5,000 people each year prior to 2014—to have their convictions erased.

But, as in America’s pay-for-play legal system, there is no doubt that many who are still in prison, or who have had their employment opportunities marginalized, will not be able to afford the lawyer

As is so often the case, however, California is set to go even further. If Proposition 64 passes this fall, it would not only fully legalize cannabis in the Golden State, it would also require state courts to destroy records of past cannabis convictions within two years.

Those previously convicted would have their convictions overturned or be re-sentenced to whatever punishment they would have received under the new law.
