At the recent Friday Art Walk, I was returning to my car along Minnesota Avenue when my foot caught an edge of a cement framing around a tree; it was slightly higher than the paver sidewalk. I took a full face-plant on the sidewalk, resulting in a cut that required eight stitches. I was in a complete daze when four very concerned and caring teens appeared and helped me to a nearby bench. Three of the teens had just graduated from high school and the other was a senior, and I’m sure the last thing they wished to do was to help a clumsy retired rocket scientist, but that they did. They asked the right questions and who they could call; but I live alone and did not recall any other phone numbers. Their concern was most calming, but I didn’t get their names except for the high school senior Lake, who escorted me back to my car. To the parents of these young adults…you “done” good! Thanks again to all four and thanks to the man who brought me an ice bag.

ENDLESS WATER SUPPLY—FACT OR FICTION

A MORE LIVABLE BEND Bend needs livability policies like those of more urbanized cities if we are to accommodate growth and increased density and remain livable.

Reducing potential conflicts between non residential uses and residential areas is key. These opportunity areas related to tourism deserve your attention, including: • short term rentals • sound levels • noise and special event permits • tourism promotion • entertainment districts The City of Bend would benefit by heeding the words of Roberta Gratz, an award winning journalist and urban critic. She states, “If you build it for the residents, the tourists will come. If you build it for the tourists, the residents will leave, and eventually, the tourists will stop coming.”

@sourceweekly

On Sept. 6, Dr. Knute Buehler (R), our state representative right here in Bend’s District 54, co-wrote a letter with Dino Vendetti, the Silicon Valley venture capitalist who has lived in Bend for three years. The letter, “M97 jeopardizes Bend’s progress,” appeared under the ‘In My View’ section of the Bulletin. Knute and Dino were joined in the letter by Bruce Cleveland, a Bay Area tech guru who divides his time between San Francisco and Bend. Mr. Cleveland’s opposition to M97 is particularly interesting as he is not a full-time resident, nor a registered voter in Oregon.

In their letter, the three of them parade one unsubstantiated claim after another; half-truths follow misunderstandings about Measure 97. It is time to set the record straight.

Now, I am not a surgeon, like Knute, a venture capitalist, like Dino, or a tech guru from California, like Bruce. I am just a social studies teacher. I went to a public school. I served four years as a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter rescue swimmer in North Bend/Coos Bay. I lived for a year in Stayton as an ELL teacher during the 2008 downturn. Later, I went to OSU Cascades while fighting forest fires on a hotshot crew in Prineville. All in all, I’ve called Oregon home for 16 years now.

As teachers, my wife and I both see how inadequate school funding is, and we deal with the consequences of those inadequacies daily.

Currently, I am navigating absurdly huge class sizes at Summit High School. At Pilot Butte Middle School, raw sewage ran down a hallway and into a first-year teacher’s classroom on the first day of school. They had to evacuate the hallway and shut down the classrooms for the rest of the afternoon. The same thing happened on the second day of school last year.

The mere fact that ballot Measure 97 exists, is in direct response to a lack of action on the part of “Salem politicians” such as Mr. Buehler.

Inadequately funding vital services is a pattern that we’ve seen since the early ‘90s. As a result, 400,000 Oregonians still don’t have access to healthcare, the number of seniors living in poverty increased 61 percent, and our schools have the third largest class sizes in the nation.

more talk. We keep seeing inaction.

We want solutions, and we are tired of waiting.

That is why I will be voting “Yes” on Measure 97.

In late Oct. 1999, three Bend City Councilors (Suzanne Johansen, Tom Dewolf and myself) had a private meeting at City Hall with then Oregon Governor Barbara Roberts. During that meeting we requested State help in funding a study to prove or disprove the oft-stated fact that there is a huge aquifer beneath central Oregon with enough water to last forever. Only days after our meeting, Governor Roberts decided not to run for office again and our request went unanswered. It would be good to know if such a bounty truly exists or will we be dry and thirsty as Bend grows towards a population of 200,000 plus.

Sheriff: Shane Nelson The Deschutes County Sheriff ’s race between appointed incumbent Shane Nelson and Eric Kozowski is one of the most heated and interesting local races.

Nelson has 22 years experience with the department, having progressed through the ranks before being appointed sheriff 15 months ago, while Kozowski joined the department in 2010. Both men articulate the need to improve department morale and to restore public trust in a department that has been rocked by scandal.

The department has suffered through incidents that should never occur within law enforcement. The theft of more than $200,000 by former Capt. Scott Beard that he used to pay for personal items during an affair with another department subordinate grabbed the top headlines.

Beard was recently sentenced to five years in prison.

Sheriff Shane Nelson is a life-long Bend resident who was appointed to fill the remainder of Larry Blanton’s term following Blanton’s retirement. After graduating from OSU, Nelson returned home where he joined the Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Department in 1993.

He rose to the top as operations division commander and corrections division commander before being appointed sheriff.

Despite criticism by his opponent, Nelson speaks with conviction and maintains the department is pro-actively changing for the better. Change in a department with a $46 million budget takes time and requires calculated thought and careful implementation. He promises he won’t tolerate the improprieties that have tarnished the department.

We believe him.

With only 15 months in office, we think Sheriff Nelson is laying a thoughtful and solid foundation that will shed the past and transition to the future, and he should be allowed time to complete those changes. His long experience within the department provides the institutional insight that will be valuable to public safety in Deschutes County.

each other.

This race has the hallmarks of what could have been a great showcase for all of the other City Council races if those candidates had serious challengers or were not racing unopposed. Moseley is making a case that the City Council and the city staff need some serious management and redirection. His background in running a successful local software company makes him a good choice for a position where those skills are needed.

Moseley is running on a platform showing no shortages of places where the City Council went rogue and began chasing side projects, such as squabbles with the Chamber of Commerce, the gas tax and its ill-timed special election, the climate change initiative and incivility on the council.

However, we do not share his view on a broken City Council—in fact we’re impressed with how much this council has accomplished, and Doug Knight can take a large measure of credit for it.

We supported the gas tax—and while the timing was suspect, it remains the only viable option we have seen for filling the shortfall in city revenues and

deriving another revenue stream from tourism. The climate change initiative is a bold piece of leadership and is, we hope, representative of the values we share as a city. Knight took a big political risk by championing both of these issues.

We are not sure how the incivility “issue” on the council got elevated from gossip to talking point but we hope it leaves the political arena. Knight can be abrasive and Moseley showed in the Chamber candidate forum that he could match Knight’s demeanor pound for pound – and we hope that doesn’t change. The forum was lively and substantive and no worse for either candidate’s passion.

Moseley may serve the city well. Most of his current shortcomings stem from his lack of political experience. His articulate, smart discussion has made this the race to watch and could translate into good governance. But Knight has served the city well during his term and deserves to be rewarded for the work that he has accomplished. Vote for Knight. SW

Two other captains also left the department following affairs with female subordinates, a violation of department policies. And, two more internal investigations into potential improprieties are underway.

Kozowski says it’s time for new blood to change a leadership void in the department and he casts Sheriff Nelson as part of the rubber stamp, good old boy philosophy that has created a department sidetracked with distractions.

After Nelson’s appointment by Deschutes County Commissioners, Kozowski says he doesn’t see the change the department needs and alleges it continues to be complacent and unaccountable. He says the department can do much more for county residents both operationally and fiscally.

Kozowski’s background includes both public and private sector experience. He

That Time I Lived on the Open Streets Route

I

t was 11 am on Sunday when sign crews arrived to put up a road block near my house, announcing that Bend’s 6th Street would be closed for the following four or five hours. By 11:01 am a driver reached that barrier and was promptly told to turn around. To the driver’s dismay, there was no “sneaking” through.

Less than an hour from then, that stretch of 6th Street—along with parts of Hawthorne Avenue, 1st Street and NE Olney Avenue—were expected to stream with walkers, bicyclists, wheelchair riders and other carless denizens. And so they did.

event like this does beg the question: Is getting around by bus, bike or foot really realistic for the average person who needs to get somewhere in a timely fashion?

And if not, what are the barriers to making that a reality?

The “Open Streets” event was a first for Bend, but it’s not new in other parts of the country. The nationwide Open Streets movement is aimed at temporarily closing streets “so that people may use them for walking, bicycling, dancing, playing, and socializing,” according to the Bend Open Streets website. According to Jeff Monson, executive director of Commute Options—the driving force behind the event—an estimated 3,000 people attended this year’s inaugural event. Social groups, musicians, local businesses and groups such as Bike Bend, Bend Park & Recreation District and the St. Charles Health System set up booths and demonstrations along the route.

Unfortunately, those two options are not necessarily realistic for many of the wheelchair bound, the elderly, or the infirm. Other options include the Cascades East Transit bus system and going overland. I explored each of the options last Friday morning, starting with the bus. I left home off 6th Street at 8:41 am. Walking to the stop, I missed the first bus I aimed for. I caught another one leaving 6th and Greenwood at 9:23 am, arriving at Hawthorne Station at 9:26 am. It was a nearly 20-minute wait before the next bus headed into downtown at 9:45 am. I arrived at work at 9:53 am. On the way home I walked; 26 minutes door to door.

Open Streets was well-attended, but an

The Commute Test The first step, then, was to do a little test. On a normal day in fine weather, the bike ride from 6th Avenue to the Source Weekly’s office takes exactly 10 minutes.

Driving, meanwhile, takes six minutes, plus three or four more minutes to find parking.

Still, where does that leave people who

don’t bike or walk? I asked some people in the know.

Rides for the Elderly Courtney Van Fossan, the newest board member at Commute Options, is in the midst of opening a Cycling Without Age chapter in Bend. Founded in 2012 in Denmark, Cycling Without Age’s mission is to help the elderly get back on bicycles by offering free rides on “trishaws”—pedal-powered vehicles similar to rickshaws.

“The distances that we’re traveling are really not very far. I think that so many people who can’t ride or walk, they get left out of stuff like this,” says Van Fossan.

“What we’re starting here, it’s going to fill in the gap here and there to give people more connection to their community.”

Getting Around via Wheelchair Carly Mullar is an area resident who uses a wheelchair. She and her boyfriend Darrick Yarbrough, who modified a delivery bike to accommodate Mullar’s chair, get creative, using a mix of walking, cycling, and sometimes, a car.

“Bend is better than it was for sure but it still needs some improvement because streets are so narrow,” says Yarbrough.

“Some of the sidewalks definitely need

some work, especially the dang tree roots, and a lot of the streets are too narrow to have sidewalks or bike lanes…these are still really old style.”

…And Back to Bikes The commute might be relatively short, but the number of people commuting via bike sits at around two percent in our area, says Lucas Freeman, executive director of Bend Bikes, a nonprofit promoting bike commuting in Bend.

One problem, Freeman says, is people’s perceptions about safety.

“Eight inches of a stripe for a bike lane… people don’t suspend their disbelief enough that “I’m safe,” says Freeman.

Bend Bikes supports setting up a network of neighborhood “greenways” around the city, where bikes are encouraged and cars discouraged. While ridership numbers are low now, Freeman posits that offering these options would increase ridership.

“Is it naïve to say if you build it they will come? Maybe,” Freeman says. “You can start small. You can do demonstration projects. Look at what the ridership numbers do and that will prove it to you.

Admittedly it takes more money, but it’s nowhere near what it would take if you wanted to expand that road capacity for cars.” SW

hen Warm Springs tribal member Jefferson Greene arrived at the Standing Rock Reservation this September, he was struck by the presence of the 100+ flags representing tribal nations from across North America and from nations around the world. To him, it was a testament to the fact that over the centuries, indigenous people have come together to trade and commune—and this time, to stand for the benefit of Mother Earth.

a nation that is just not listening. It is unbelievable.”

Greene was one of dozens of members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs to take part in the demonstrations at the Sacred Stone Camp on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota this month. According to Greene, roughly 35 to 50 members from the Warm Springs tribes have traveled the 1,200+ miles in support of the demonstrations against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Greene says he and his small party trailered their canoe to a boat launch north of the Standing Rock Reservation, putting in their boat just outside the reservation’s borders. Both on the water and in their vehicle, Greene says his party received a warm welcome upon arrival. Even the one interaction with law enforcement, as their party drove near the reservation, was peaceful, Greene says. The private security firm seen on social media with biting attack dogs had already been asked to leave, Greene said.

The pipeline, a $3.8 billion project, is slated to carry crude oil from North Dakota’s Bakken oil formation to Illinios, traveling under the Missouri River and crossing through the Standing Rock Reservation. As of the date of publication, the construction on the pipeline had been temporarily halted – though no final decision has been made.

“Right now we’re kind of just on standby to see,” Greene says. “The entire world now is against this pipeline.

Every nation is calling about global warming and climate change and we’re

Demonstrations against the pipeline began in April but have been gaining steam over the summer, with thousands now in attendance. Along with representatives from tribes nationwide, the numbers also included those members of the Warm Springs canoe family—a grassroots group of tribal members who gather annually to bring back the tradition of canoeing, lost when tribes were moved away from the Columbia River.

“All over the world is preaching the same thing that this pipeline cannot go through and I don’t understand why our leaders of our nation are not taking that much of an interest,” Greene lamented. “I do appreciate that the Obama administration asked for a voluntary shutdown, but that left it in the hands of the company. We shall see.” SW

utside Kah-Nee-Ta Resort on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, parking lots that once catered to casino goers are now empty— leaving a great deal of unused space. To Aurolyn Stwyer, that swath of parking lot represents opportunity.

Stwyer has a vision of turning one paved section—larger than a football field— into a ‘drone amusement park’ where manufacturers can test their equipment and kids can learn to fly them.

In mid September, Stwyer took the Source Weekly on a tour of the reservation’s Unmanned Aerial Systems Innovation Center, now under construction, where drone technology is fast becoming a major player in the reservation’s economy. The 5,000-square-foot Innovation Center is about a month from completion, and Stwyer is marking the days until the grand opening. The center, located on the lower level of the tribe’s Kah-Nee-Ta Resort, will help fill space once occupied by the resort’s casino operations. In 2011, the casino closed and relocated 13 miles away to the village of Warm Springs along Highway 26 where traffic and tourism dollars flow more freely.

“We are going to provide training for individuals interested in getting the ground license to fly commercial drones,” she explains. The Innovation Center will contain 17 work stations fully equipped with all the latest drone technology that will teach using flight simulation. Tribal leaders are also discussing student opportunities with OSU-Cascades and Central Oregon Community College.

But that’s not where the plans stop. Two other large rooms—which will accommodate 25 and 36 people respectively—will be used for instruction in the latest aerial

Plans include enclosing the park under netting that will eliminate the need for licensing, allowing individuals to use the space to fly drones freely. Talks are

“The recent development of the commercial drone industry is remarkable given the fact there wasn’t a commercial industry three years ago.” — Roger Lee, EDCO

New technology seems to be emerging so rapidly that it’s hard to track—even for industry insiders. But they all have a common goal: seeing drone technology result in commercial, industrial, and agricultural cost savings. With that, they expect the commercial application of drones to soar.

research applications that are emerging in the fast-growing industry. “Our goal is to provide more jobs and to enhance the resort, which has been here since 1964,” Stwyer explains. Additionally, Warm Springs has entered into talks to manufacture unmanned aerial system vehicles that will be used to monitor power trans-

ABI Research, based in Oyster Bay, New York, is forecasting that the small unmanned aerial systems market will surpass $30 billion by 2025.

The commercial sector is where the greatest long-term growth lies, says Richard Solis, Research Director at ABI. “Many businesses within the commercial sector are willing to spend money on unmanned aerial vehicle-related services and applications that reduce costs and provide better service,” Solis said in a news release. The consumer market will follow the commercial market, achieving the second highest overall growth, while defense sector growth will remain flat.

The Warm Springs UAS Test Range Beyond learning to fly drones, the Warm Springs UAS Innovation Center will focus on research in three specific areas: monitoring transmission lines, improving agricultural outcomes, and fighting wildfires.

It allowed growers to observe real-time data gathering followed by immediate crop health reports, according to Jeff Lorton, program manager for the Oregon Future Farm—part of the UAS test site.

He sees many advantages to using drone

As for the consumer, “The biggest advantage of crop monitoring is that it will enable better predictions of harvest— which enable better logistics to market— which means there will be less spoilage so prices can come down,” says Lorton.

Another huge barrier-breaker for agricultural and commercial use of drones was an easing in August of regulations that

Allen says software being developed is able to quickly and accurately analyze information that can be used in the maintenance of transmission lines, pipelines, railroad tracks and much more. Gathering data over a thousand miles of railroad track is a big job, but drone data technology can potentially make the work more efficient and feasible, he explains.

SOAR has helped fund UAS technological advancement with $327,000 in direct grant money while facilitating another million dollars in private investment in the region.

UAS – The Future in Oregon EDCO’s Roger Lee says, “The recent development of the commercial drone industry is remarkable given the fact there wasn’t a commercial industry three years ago.” He says it’s exciting to see the industry taking off in terms of research and jobs after seven years of work to promote it in Central Oregon. “We’re no longer racing to the starting line to get it off the ground. The fire has oxygen and it’s taking off.”

Reservation has control over its natural resources. “We can collect data using drones counting our horse, elk, and deer populations,” Stwyer says. The wild horse population is adversely impacting food habitat for deer and elk. Other applications will examine climate change impacts on traditional foods on which the native population depends, which could also prove useful to the general agricultural community.

Another focus of UAS research at Warm Springs will be on wildfire concerns.

“Due to our sovereign status, we have the ability to conduct large controlled burns without too much bureaucracy involved,” says Stwyer. Large areas—over 4,500 acres—will be burned in the spring and fall. Drones will be used for lighting the burns, tracking hot spots and producing instantaneous aerial maps that will assist firefighters day and night. Drones will also be able to fly through heavy smoke, providing instant data that can be used to strategically contain fires while protecting those who fight them.

“Agriculture faces a rather large and real problem in that it doesn’t have the labor that it needs today, and tomorrow it will have even less.” The labor force is aging and younger people aren’t filling the gap, Lorton says. Automation, he says, will be a key to the future of agriculture in North America.

Lorton says that the Pendleton UAS Test Range is demonstrating how drones can help fill that labor gap. “We’re going to leverage data, mobility, satellite, drones and robotics to make agriculture not just more efficient but more viable so more people can remain independent growers.”

He says agriculture year to year maintains acreage but loses ownership, resulting in consolidation and larger-scale farming.

Lorton also suggests that drone technology is able to analyze the health of a crop sooner than the naked eye, which could result in less use of chemicals for weed and pest control. He also says that drones make crop monitoring cheaper than conventional aviation. “With a drone, growers can monitor their crops themselves after making a one-time investment, learning to fly it, and understanding the use of crop sensors and imaging.”

required commercial users to acquire a pilot’s license to fly them. Now commercial users need only pass a certification safety test. As a result, Lorton expects the commercial drone industry to burgeon in the next 12 months.

SOAR Oregon The drone industry has strong roots in Central Oregon. During the last recession, the aviation manufacturing industry in the region took a big nosedive. In 2009, Cessna Aircraft Company announced it was closing its Bend plant and eliminating 200 jobs. In Central Oregon’s Jefferson, Crook, and Deschutes counties, the aircraft and aerospace industry lost 80 percent of its GDP production.

Industry leaders, along with members of Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO), began exploring alternative economic answers as Bend’s unemployment rate reached 17 percent.

According to Executive Director Roger Lee, drone technology development surfaced as an intriguing potential answer.

SOAR Oregon was born from that effort.

Based in Bend, it’s a statewide not-forprofit economic development organization focused on the development of the

Both Lee and Allen also expect another development that will boost the commercial drone industry. At present, flying drones beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) is not permitted. They expect that regulation to soon be relaxed by the FAA, enabling longer-distance flying that would benefit countless efforts including search and rescue.

Oregon also has many of the leading drone manufacturers in the world—led by, among others, Insitu of Hood River.

The company has inspired other spinoffs, many of which are located in the Columbia River Gorge area.

FLIR Systems is a leading infrared technology company helping pave the way for the drone industry that also has a large Oregon business footprint. Infrared technology is highly effective in search and rescue missions.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx summed up the current state of the drone industry in a recent press statement.

“People are captivated by the limitless possibilities unmanned aircraft offer, and they are already creating business opportunities in this exciting new field.”

As UAS drone technology transitions from defense to a burgeoning commercial industry, Central Oregon is helping lead the charge. SW

Its Executive Director, Chuck Allen, says SOAR is connecting industry sectors such as aviation, advanced manufacturing, high tech, software development and education to promote UAS business growth in the region. Allen says the industry represents more than a cool drone flying around in the sky. “It’s about the data and the information they gather and how it is processed. That’s what the industry is all about.”

ountless cloudless days. Nights alive with abundant stars. Beautiful hiking, biking, downhill and cross-country trails. A creative, inspired, informed community…and at the end of a long day, a delicious glass of a locally-made and well-loved spirit of our choice.

Life in Central Oregon is good, isn’t it?

We think so. While we do have to give homage to the entire state of Oregon and its many discerning, delightful denizens, there’s just something special about living in the sunny central part of

the state. We believe it’s so special, in fact, that each year we take the time to honor the people, the places and the businesses that make our area so attractive. After all, 20,000 summer visitors each day can’t be wrong, right?

Life gets hectic and things can get tough no matter where you live – but just for a moment, we encourage you to sit down, peruse these pages, and then raise a glass to this wonderful place we like to call home. Here’s to you, Central Oregon.

Sewn in Central Oregon: Bryar Wolf Brought together by a common thread

By Annette Benedetti

Over nine years ago Katie and Ross formed a friendship that grew closer over time, taking them on adventures that would nurture both their passion for each other and the diverse world of textiles. “We’ve been obsessed with hunting for textiles from around the world for a long time,” Ross explains. “It’s always been a passion of ours.”

No stranger to the entrepreneurial world, the pair moved to

“We want to grow Bryar Wolf into a recognizable brand that can be found in every state…similar to what Pendleton is.”

—- Katie Lipson

Bend together four years ago and found some success with a candle business that they eventually sold. It was only a little over five months ago that a crafting session would become the spark of inspiration that would lead to the conception of Bryar Wolf.

“We had piles of textiles we had collected sitting around and didn’t know what to do with them,” explains Ross. “We needed pillows so Katie decided to

Their third line is from India and is called the Indian Kantha collection. The fabric consists of several layers of recycled cotton or silk saris that have been hand woven into quilts and are held together by a simple, running kantha stitch that is applied row after row and gives the fabric its unique, slightly wrinkled effect.

take some of the fabric, cut it up and make some. The pillows came out unbelievable.”

Ross and Katie recognized the opportunity they had stumbled upon. “Katie began making pillows and our friends showed support and bought a few,” says Ross. “Then we went out to the stores in Bend and they just kind of jumped on it.”

Bend Furniture and Design and Jubeelee were two of the first stores in Bend to carry Bryar Wolf. Since then 500 pillows have been sold and 26 stores across the nation are selling them.

Bryar Wolf currently focuses on three different lines of pillows.

The first is their African Mud Cloth Collection, which uses fabric from Mali,

Africa, where cotton is woven on narrow looms by the men and then the women use fermented mud from the Niger River to dye different patterns into the fabric.

Their Ivory Coast Collection uses fabric from Côte d’Ivoire of West Africa. The yarn used in the fabric is first dyed through a technique the Baule people use called Ikat, in which

Bryar Wolf has recently expanded and is producing throws.

According to Ross, customers can expect to see more lines and products in the near future. When asked about their vision for the business, Katie says, “We want to grow Bryar Wolf into a recognizable brand that can be found in every state…similar to what Pendleton is.”

the thread is dyed and treated to resist the dye in certain areas leaving a pattern on the cloth.

That’s exactly what it did to Katie and Ross Lipson, co-owners of Bryar Wolf—a wildly successful startup that began selling hand-made pillows in Bend just five months ago and has recently expanded its sales to several states across the nation.

Bucha Buena brews up deliciousness – including its own hooch

By Jared Rasic

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 38 / September 22, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Fermented in Central Oregon T

he headquarters for Bucha Buena is an adorable-looking cottage in a residential neighborhood on Bend’s west side. Behind the adorable home that looks just as cozy in Bend as it would in the Shire is the production facility. It’s a converted outbuilding/garage that now has fermentation tanks, brewing tanks and growing hops, all helping facilitate the ever-growing business of Bucha Buena. This isn’t just a kombucha facility, it’s an urban farm.

Owner Brooke Moore initially started Bucha Buena in her kitchen, making small batches for her family and friends. “I was like everyone else when they start out home brewing kombucha,” says Moore. “My batches were getting bigger, my friends were loving it and eventually I thought I’m going to make a business out

next thing for me” says Nelson. “I’d been doing beer for so long and Brooke had just brought this to my life. I’d never dealt with kombucha before. But it’s great.

The creativity is coming back. I’ve brewed RPM forever and Mirror Pond and Black Butte and it gets old because it’s just a production thing. But with this it’s always different.”

Bucha Buena is one of those young companies that isn’t quite synonymous with Bend yet, but everyone seems to be talking about them. Especially now that they’re releasing Hooch Buch, a hard kombucha aged in oak barrels. I was very easily talked into trying an early sample of some the Hooch pre-aged—very belly warming and delicious.

Once Moore outgrew her kitchen, she recruited local brewer Brit Nelson (from Deschutes, Boneyard and more), and Bucha Buena started dialing in recipes and expanding its palate.

“Kombucha seemed like the

profitable in Bend is becoming harder and harder. “The first huge challenge we faced was finding a commercial kitchen,” says Moore. “Rent is crazy. That is the first struggle for anyone trying to start any kind of food and beverage business. That’s why we’re in here. We thought, hey, maybe the city will let us build our own brewery.”

Nelson chimes in: “We like to think of ourselves as a micro craft

lucky we were able to build here.

It’s all about finding that sweet spot. How much kombucha can we make in here and make money but not grow out of it? That will be another big challenge.”

Their main stipulation for brewing in a residential area is that they can’t be open to the pub-

Distilled in Central Oregon BackDrop Distilling whips up an award-winning vodka

By Nicole Vulcan When it comes to beer and spirits, Central Oregonians get to enjoy more than their fair share of variety. From new upstarts offering fun new flavors to longtime mainstays that continually bring in creative takes on old favorites, there’s no shortage of stuff to stir, sip and savor in the drinks department here in the good ol’ C-O. Not only are we blessed with an abundance of variety, but we’re also blessed to swirl our shakers using some of the best ingredients. Case in point: BackDrop Distilling’s vodka. The vodka, created with organic wheat, recently won a double-gold medal at the International Spirits Awards in Seattle – the Pacific Northwest’s largest distilled spirits and liqueurs awards program.

But just in case you’re wondering how that local spirit stacks up in a non-PacNW audience, there’s this: BackDrop’s vodka also won the silver medal at the Los Angeles International Spirits competi-

tion this June.

“International recognition is humbling and we owe it to our fans, friends and family, and want to thank everyone supporting the little guy!,” says BackDrop’s owner Mark Plants.

The distillery is located inside the GoodLife Brewing building—a pairing that is pretty uncommon, both locally and nationally. In fact, BackDrop is the first distillery in Oregon located inside a brewery. It might be unusual, but the arrangement works well for people who might like to branch out from a beer-only night – or who want to see the two brands join forces to create the unique, inspired beverages Central Oregonians’ palates demand.

To that end, the two brands have plans to collaborate on drinks that combine craft spirits and craft beers, as well as swapping barrels. Plants is in the midst of playing with a “hop spirit” that uses one of GoodLife’s beers.

The spirit doesn’t have a name

yet, but with that mashup, we’re hoping for something clever and very Central Oregonian.

For now though, Central Oregonians can start enjoying BackDrop’s gin as soon as next quarter, and a single-malt whiskey is already in barrels. As a way to celebrate the craft cocktail movement, the team at GoodLife is already offering a series of BackDrop infusions at the brewery on Century Drive every Wednesday.

So the next time you’re with a friend who’s more of a cocktail junkie than a beer head, neither one of you will have to compromise.

Cascade School of Music creates generations of local musicians

By Jared Rasic

T

he slogan for the Cascade School of Music is, “The Sound of Human Potential,” and the school’s goal is to infuse the youth and adults of Central Oregon with that potential. Bend in particular is a musical town with live music playing just about every night of the week—so a steady stream of new voices and talent is vital to the community.

Teaching music isn’t just about creating a new generation of musicians, and there is much more to the discipline than arts de-funders would have you believe. “There is a mountain of scientific research that points out the benefits of studying music,” says Schneider.

“Studying music impacts everything from cognitive development to emotional maturity and is linked to improved test scores, lower dropout rates, college admissions and many other metrics.”

The lessons learned from the Cascade School of Music aren’t ones to be let go of after class or even graduation. The school is teaching the next generation of musicians the lessons they will have to practice for the rest of their lives. “You’ve got to practice and got to listen!” says Schneider. “There is no amount of wishful thinking that is going to move you towards musical competency—you have to spend time with the instrument. But it’s worth it! People think that listening is a fixed skill, but your listening actually gets more accurate, perceptive and sophisticated with time and practice. I can hear things now that I couldn’t hear 10 years ago. I love that.”

Founder and executive director Dillon Schneider founded the school back in 2002 for very good reasons. “After performing for years (I’m a jazz guitarist), I came to believe that the real value in music was for the maker, the musician, rather than the audience,” says Schneider. “I love listening to music myself and listening can be an amazing experience, but actually making it yourself, engaging in the act of creation, is on a whole different plane. That’s a big reason I started the school—my hope is to give more people the opportunity to make their own music and get the kind of experience I’ve been fortunate to have had. Musicians all understand this on one level or another. The faculty here at Cascade School of Music sure gets it.”

Bend is such a busy town with some event or outdoor activity happening constantly, that having a school of music here presents a The Cascade School of Music has been creating budding musicians since 2002. unique set of difficulties. “Kids these days have so many extracurricular options, especially in Funding a school like this in the area (or anywhere, really) isn’t easy.

SOUND

An Acoustic Life

Brett Dennen gets some pop on his folk

By Jared Rasic

23 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 38 / September 22, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Every song feels like a journal entry we maybe shouldn’t have read...

Experienced beyond his years and with a half-dozen albums to prove it, Brett Dennen will paint his evolving musical landscape at the Tower Theatre, 9/28.

I

know that this is a gross oversimplification, but I’m going with it anyway: Brett Dennen is a hit with the ladies.

That’s not to say that his music is aimed at women specifically, but over the last few years, I have had at least two dozen women try to introduce me to Brett Dennen’s laid-back folk pop. It might have something to do with his combination of his thick ginger locks and bespectacled hipster-vibe, or it could be his singer-songwriter tendencies of vulnerability through straightforward lyricism.

Dennen was homeschooled as a child, so music became his first love as he learned the guitar and then eventually songwriting. His biography almost comes across as the history of a Disney character, dedicated to fixing wrongs and striving to make the world fit closer to his worldview.

He attended a summer camp where he eventually became a counselor. He works with The Mosaic Project, a nonprofit

whose vision is “a just, diverse, and inclusive world where individuality and community are both core values and where listening, empathy, and assertiveness guide our interactions.” My personal favorite is that while he was a student at UC Santa Cruz, after leading numerous anti-smoking campaigns, he helped get the ash trays removed from building entrances.

In 2004, Dennen released his self-titled debut on an indie label, but once a CD ended up in the hands of an influential DJ, his major label record deal was soon to follow. His debut is mostly love songs, but there is a maturity to them that belied his young age.

His second record, “So Much More,” was released in 2006 and absolutely exploded. It’s the #1 most downloaded folk album on iTunes and the opening track, "Ain’t No Reason" is almost his signature tune. The album still leans heavily on love songs, but Dennen also starts exploring philosophy and cements

himself as this generation’s Paul Simon.

The simplicity of the arrangements is buoyed by his insightful songwriting.

With lyrics like “Keep on building prisons we’re gonna fill them all/keep on building bombs we’re gonna drop them all,” Dennen definitely has quite a bit on his mind.

“Hope For the Hopeless” (2008) sees Dennen exploring some afro-beat and reggae vibes, while still toting his acoustic guitar to John Mayer-esque levels of crooniness. “Loverboy” (2011) has Dennen going dance and having fun for the first time in a few albums. Whenever a song threatens to become somber, he backs up and gives the tune hope and joy.

“Smoke and Mirrors” (2013) is Dennen at his most introspective. There’s a sense of him searching for something. It’s not certain whether he finds it, but it makes for some of his most mature songwriting to date.

This brings us to his latest record, May’s

“Por Favor.” The album has a back-tobasics vibe that should please old fans and make him a few new ones along the way. At 36, his voice still has the same youthful rasp and nasal drawl, but now he can stretch out and relax. Instead of reminding the listener of Mayer or Simon, there’s more Brian Wilson in his songwriting. He’s on a beach now instead of in a coffee shop.

Whether Dennen’s fans are mostly female-centric or whether I just have limited exposure to his fanbase, one thing remains certain: he’s making music for himself more than anyone else. Every song feels like a journal entry we maybe shouldn’t have read, but it’s too late to go back. Apparently, his beach has plenty of room for all.

“I made a decision I’m either going to get a straight job or I’m going to give this everything I’ve got and I’m going to expect that from everybody around me,” Cruz said in a recent phone interview.

That’s the way Cruz, Ramos and the other members of Strung Out have operated ever since, as the band has navigated its way through early lineup changes, releasing eight studio albums (beginning with 1994’s “Another Day in Paradise”) and becoming one of the more respected—if commercially under-appreciated punk bands of the era.

“We’ve just been trudging away working.

We never stop,” Cruz said.

So even if Cruz and his current bandmates—Ramos, guitarist Jake Kiley, bassist Chris Aiken and drummer Jordan Burns—may not seem to have been overly prolific—the band’s latest album,“Transmission.Alpha.Delta,” arrived six years after its previous release—don’t think Cruz has been taking it easy.

After touring behind the 2009 Strung Out album, “Agents of the Underground,” Cruz stepped outside of the group to do two albums with his side band, Jason Cruz and Howl (2012’s “Loungecore” and 2014’s “Good Man’s Ruin”).

Ramos, meanwhile, started a side band as well, called the Implants, releasing a debut album in 2013.

“I started another band,” Cruz said. “I needed to do it to appreciate what Strung Out was and to accept what Strung Out was, to accept what I was capable of.

tSometimes you need the perspective.

You need to step away from something to understand how you feel about it. In that sense, the time off was important to re-evaluate if I had anything to say.”

If “Transmission.Alpha.Delta,” is any indication, Cruz and his bandmates had plenty to say. Cruz, the group’s primary lyricist, found himself drawn to the overall theme of people in today’s wired world being inundated with information and the implications of this data overload.

The music on “Transmission.Alpha.

Delta” is as compelling as the lyrics.

Songs like “Modern Drugs,” “Black Maps,” and “The Animal and the Machine,” to name just a few, hit hard with bracing guitar riffs and adrenalized tempos sweetened by stirring vocal melodies. Many of the songs also come with considerable musical detail and depth, as the band finds room for brief, fleet-fingered solos and fills, and ways to layer

individual licks and lines around the riffs, adding extra melodic dimensions to songs like “Rebellion of the Snakes” and “Tesla.”

If Cruz and Ramos remain central figures in Strung Out, “Transmission.Alpha.

Delta” was a true band effort.

That’s a main reason why the album did not come together quickly or easily. In fact, Cruz said a year of writing and a year of recording went into the project.

“There are four writers in the band, and all four writers were operating on all eight cylinders at all times,” Cruz said.

“So it wasn’t a matter of ideas not working. It was too many ideas.

“Sometimes having multiple, too many options is not a good thing,” he said. “So it’s about honing in on what’s strongest and weeding out the weak parts and fighting for your parts…That’s just what took so long, just wanting this to be perfect.”

Strung Out has been touring behind “Transmission.Alpha.Delta” for the past year-plus, and Cruz said it’s been nice to have new material to play. In the years between albums, the group’s releases have been collections, and Cruz isn’t much for living in the past.

“We released a best-of record (“Top Contenders: The Best of Strung Out”), the box set (“Volume One”) and everything’s kind of been retrospective,” he said. “I’m fired up for this new record, which I hope forges our relevance as far as a band. Like I said, I don’t give a shit about the ‘90s. I don’t give a shit about what happened in the ‘90s. I care about now and where we stand now and what we have to say now.” SW

CULTURE

Jenny From the Glock

"I Shot Jennifer Lopez" has its world premiere

ART WATCH

By Annette Benedetti

By Jared Rasic 41

Bend Fall Festival returns

For the last 25 years, Central Oregon residents have been ushering in the arrival of autumn with the Bank of the Cascades Bend Fall Festival. This year it’s back again, and along with this much loved tradition comes three days of free music, fine art, delicious food, and an array of seasonal contests and family activities.

The very talented cast of 2nd Street Theater’s “I Shot Jennifer Lopez,” rehearses scenes.

W

hen I heard the name of local playwright Cricket Daniel’s new play, a lot of things popped into my head. The title, “I Shot Jennifer Lopez,” reminded me of the 1996 film, “I Shot Andy Warhol,” by Mary Harron about Valerie Solanas, the ‘60s radical who wrote a screenplay she wanted Warhol to produce. He ignored her and she shot him.

For “I Shot Jennifer Lopez,” I pictured a superfan of J-Lo who finally got to meet her hero and was treated poorly, so she plans a terrible revenge that goes poorly for everyone. Or maybe it could be about a woman who wants to be friends with J-Lo, and through a farcical series of misadventures ends up accidentally shooting Jenny From the Block. Both of these scenarios I cooked up were way off.

“I Shot Jennifer Lopez” actually tells the story of two best friends, Norah and Ally. They’re roommates in Manhattan who are barely scraping by as their aspirations are just barely out of reach. Norah is a photographer who dreams of getting hired by a national magazine. Ally is a singer-songwriter, barely getting any gigs and with not too many on the horizon.

Panic mode sets in when Norah’s mom tells them she is cutting them off and refusing to pay rent after another 60 days. They either have to figure their lives out and make some money or get ready to move back to Montauk. Based on advice from her stoner next-doorneighbor Jude, Norah heads to Central Park to blow off some steam and get some photos of the fall tree colors.

Now here is where the central premise kicks in: Norah accidentally snaps a photo of Jennifer Lopez and her new film’s director engaged in a very compromising position. This image blows (ahem) both of their minds and is a possible window out of their current dilemma. Ally wants to sell the pictures to TMZ or the National Enquirer but Norah considers herself a “good girl” and thinks the invasion of J-Lo’s privacy would be morally wrong.

This is the sixth play of Cricket’s I’ve seen, and most of her characters, structure and situations are set up to be joke delivery machines. Daniel has wanted to write for television forever, so her plays are designed almost as pilots for possible shows based on the wild and wacky characters she creates. “I Shot Jennifer Lopez” is her first show that I can think of that creates a moral dilemma like this one and lets the audience decide what the right or wrong choices are.

Daniel puts so much work into her shows that it’s not just the writing aspect she is a part of. As 2nd Street Theater’s Playwright in Residence, she doesn’t just submit a script and then move on to the next one; she helps produce the shows and works closely with the director throughout the entire rehearsal process. Each opening night is also a world premiere and she takes that very seriously. The lead actress was unavailable on the night I attended rehearsal, so Daniel took the stage, throwing herself around the set with abandon. She puts in the work and it shows.

“My love of celebrity and Hollywood and TMZ is a subject I always wanted

to tackle,” says Daniel. “I did think long and hard about which star I would use and because she is a quadruple threat and does it all, no matter your age, I think most people have heard of Jennifer Lopez.”

Director Susan Benson has been a part of each of Daniel’s plays, onstage and off.

Tackling “I Shot Jennifer Lopez” still managed to bring a few new challenges to her plate. “Time was a huge issue,” says Benson. “Also, competition for talent. This and three other local shows were auditioning within days of each other. That made it kind of tough. We also had to wait until “The Beatles Die on Tuesday” to close before we got the stage, so we’re coming up a week short on rehearsal time. Plus, I didn’t have an entire cast until last week!”

The festival is located in Downtown Bend and runs from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. It features two free music stages, the Fine Artist Promenade, the Family Harvest Area and the Harvest Market. Pumpkin painting—one of the most popular free activities—will be available at the COPA Kidz Zone with approximately 1,000 pumpkins for children to choose from and paint.

The live music lineup includes local favorites like MOsley WOtta, Precious Byrd, and Tom VandenAvond with Larry and His Flask. There are also national acts that will take the stage throughout the weekend. C3 Events Event Consultant Michelle Roats-Berg says, “Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas are one of our headlining bands. They are a national act and it’s their first time playing in Bend, so we are really excited about them.” Attendees can also expect to see the Crazy 8’s return this year.

The central question of Daniel’s play is a fascinating one: Would you do something morally questionable/repugnant in order to make a vast sum of money that will fix all of your problems instantly? I left the theater not sure what I would do.

On one hand I think privacy is of paramount importance; on the other hand, if you choose to get your freak on in a public park, that privacy is not remotely guaranteed. And that’s the story of how “I Shot Jennifer Lopez” made me realize I was a terrible person. SW

According to Roats-Berg, the C3 team has been working on expanding the Fine Artist Promenade, this year offering a mix of curated art and crafts created by artists from all over the country. “We have a variety of truly amazing artists coming from as far as Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico,” says RoatsBerg. The Artisans will display an array of fiber, wood, ceramics, and jewelry for festival-goers to peruse and the Central Oregon Aerial Artists will perform in the Promenade on Saturday. Roats-Berg says, “There’s no doubt that there will be something for every price point and interest.” SW

Organizers of the Festival of Cultures, taking place Sept. 24, say the event is getting so big that they’re likely to outgrow their current location by next year.

around in costumes…if they don’t see that, they think that there’s no one here but people who kind of look like them.

It’s not true.”

When asked about the goal for the Festival of Cultures, committee chair Margie Gregory says, “Maybe we’re redefining culture.”

The Citizenship Oath Ceremony has opened the Festival of Cultures each year since 2010. This year, 25 people from roughly 15 countries will take their official citizenship oath at the event, which will be conducted by representatives from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

“We start with the naturalization

ceremony because we want people to understand that there are people all over the world becoming citizens,” says Gregory. Special guest, Oregon Poet Laureate Elizabeth Woody of Warm Springs, is scheduled to provide the keynote for the ceremony.

Of Yakama Nation descent, Woody has published three books of poetry. In 1990 she received the American Book Award and the William Stafford Memorial Award for Poetry and was a finalist for the Oregon Book Awards in 1995.

According to Gregory, a minimum of 1,500 people have attended the Festival of Cultures in the past. This year she believes there will be even more. In fact, as the festival’s committee looks to the future they expect to need a new and bigger home for next year’s event. SW

Modern Taste of Oregon LITTLE BITES Joe Kim reps Bend in NYC

The James Beard Foundation is a nonprofit that continues the legacy of Oregon chef, author and educator James Beard. After Beard’s death, his home was maintained as a gathering place for culinary pros to prepare, present and enjoy food in its highest form. In 1986 the Foundation officially opened the Beard House as a “performance space” for visiting chefs. To this day it remains the only historic culinary center in North America. The Foundation hosts a notorious gala each spring to award the country’s top culinary talent— considered to be the food version of the Oscars.

When a Pancake and a Sandwich Make a Baby

EMW Fusion brings easy-grab eats to Bend I don’t often write food reviews, but anytime someone mentions “Korean” and “taco thing” in the same sentence, I’m pedaling away on my sad first-gen Diamondback faster than you can say, “Don’t forget your helmet.”

With that, it wasn't long before I pulled up to EMW Fusion’s location on Cyber Drive, sad bike brakes squealing. Standing at the counter was one of the cart’s pork producers, telling me how all the meat was locally sourced and ethically raised. He should know.

Chefs are also welcomed by invitation only to host a dinner at the Beard House—and Kim is not the first Bendite to be graced with the honor. Ariana and Andres Fernandez of Ariana Restaurant presented Mediterranean fare in 2014.

This time around, the doors open to Kim at 8 am on the morning of Sept.

22 to prepare the evening’s meal. His team includes cooks Shivie Barin, Corey Bailey, Bryce Beard and servers Laura Kim and Nicole Mann, along with bartender Rian Steen and photographer/ videographer Alex IV. The excitement of the invite is paired with a healthy amount of pressure. The 80 seats are sure to be filled with people boasting subtle palates—considering that those who dine at the Beard House are likely to have dined with the world’s best. The kitchen has been occupied by hundreds of esteemed chefs, some of whom Kim draws personal inspiration from. Typically chefs are recognized for having a specific style. Joe is oft-referred to as Asian fusion because of his heritage—but that could also be because no one can pin down his creative style.

He’s a bit of a chameleon, integrating traditions and techniques from many cultures and experiences. His interest lies in making food that is above all fun to cook.

The dinner, dubbed a Modern Taste of Oregon, involves literally bringing Oregon to Greenwich Village. A dry ice chest accompanied the group on the airplane and other items were shipped

With its fair prices and simple menu, I ordered most of everything. EMW’s “pandos” are an amalgam of a Korean-style pancake and a sandwich. Owners Brandon Walsh and Yoonmee Chang Walsh start with fresh, organic wheat flour, tossing dots of dough on the flattop as you order. Inside is a choice of beef, pork, chicken or black beans with cabbage and crema. There's also a cheese pando with mozzarella, a PB&J with chunky peanut butter and seasonal berry jam, or the Hotteok-style pando made with walnuts, pepitas and cinnamon.

directly. The team visited the grass-fed Wagyu cow on the open pastures at 2 Sisters Ranch in Tumalo, and even watched it get slaughtered to ensure the desired cut. Overall the menu is modern American Cuisine and includes Dirty Water Dogs made with Dungeness crab, Rockin’ Dave’s Miso Bagels, Live Lobster Sashimi, scallops wrapped in King Salmon fanned out to look like pinwheels, kimchi made with unique veggies and Heritage Farms Pork Belly with Bibimbap Rice. The wine spirits for the pairings were donated by the Northwest Wine Coalition and Bendistillery.

Bartender Steen has brewed and bottled kombucha at 5 Fusion, and prepared Huckleberry bitters for Manhattans.

After the five courses, tiny bites of juniper bubble gum and pine gummy bears will be presented to complete the experience.

Humbled by the recognition and grounded by the fact that this is a life-changing experience for his entire team, Kim marks another milestone in his career’s success. His ambition is continuously supported by his partners Lilian and Mike Chu, who, of course, are attending. Fifteen local supporters have also planned trips specifically for the event. For those of us who couldn’t make it, we can watch the live stream from inside the Beard House kitchen, and hope that they will do a replica of the dinner when they return. SW

On this day, there was also the special of the day—none other than a pumpkin spice variety. In spite of our general exhaustion with this spice combo here at the Source, I ordered it and was delighted to find it in no way resembled its latte counterpart. Just enough cinnamon and walnuts sneaking out made for a tasty lunchtime dessert. As for the savory pandos: The beef bulgogi was gently spiced and paired well with the creamy sauce and cabbage. The pork pando’s housemade BBQ sauce made for a juicy, flavorful combo, while the chicken version was tasty but the least-flavorful of the bunch.

EMW Fusion is currently located on Cyber Drive, but the pair has tentative plans to move to the new OSU-Cascades campus soon, to offer some grub before the school cafeteria opens up. With limited hours, there’s no better time to head up there, sad bike or no. SW

Our native annual tradition is upon us and fresh hop beers are everywhere.

S

easonal brews come and go throughout the year—heavy stouts in winter, lighter ales in summer, the occasionally dreaded pumpkin beer right now. But there’s one genre of beer that we, as Oregonians, can claim as truly our own: The fresh-hop beer, the dank and bitter friend of any true craft fan.

Thanks to increasing demand and some creativity with express shipping, beers made with freshly-harvested hops are becoming increasingly common around the United States, including from such faraway names as Founders in Michigan and Sixpoint out of Brooklyn, NY. The genre is king in Oregon and Washington, however, and fresh-hop beers from places like Fremont, Base Camp and Ex Novo are hitting tapwalls already.

At least seven Deschutes County breweries have releases in the works, and Deschutes Brewery is leading the pack with three fresh-hop beers on tap now at the pub, powered by Goschie Farms in the Willamette Valley. Their Tettnang hops provide a pleasant tang to the wet-hop version of Bachelor Bitter, while Centennial hops power both the seasonal Horse Ridge IPA and this year’s version of Chasin’ Freshies, Deschutes’

annual rotating-hop fall release. This year marks the first time Chasin’ is sold in six-packs nationwide, and it’s got a juicy twang this year that all but ensures it’ll be gone from store shelves pretty quickly—“available September until it’s gone,” as Deschutes diplomatically puts it. Also available now is Fort George’s Fresh 2016, using Amarillo hops to seal the essence of the Pacific Northwest into their trademark 16-ounce cans.

But why end the fresh-hop craze there when there’s the entire rest of the region to explore? The 14th annual Hood River Hops Fest, the granddaddy of what’s now a crowded slate of Oregon fall beer festivals, takes place Sept. 24 and quite neatly takes over the town of Hood River, with over 75 fresh-hop beers available from 50 or so breweries.

The one in Portland the following week is almost as large, but for a more intimate experience, hit up the Sisters Fresh Hop Festival on Oct. 1, a dog-friendly outdoor event offering all the season’s beers from Central Oregon and beyond in one place.

Enjoy the season while it lasts—because before too long, it’ll be Jubelale time all over again. SW

High stakes have never felt so low in "Snowden"

By Jared Rasic

49 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 38 / September 22, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Edward Snowden is a special kind of patriot.

S

itting down to an Oliver Stone movie is always an exciting proposition.

Whether you think he is a master provocateur and filmmaker or just a blowhard, there is no denying that he is capable of creating quite a reaction. In case you’re not familiar with the man, lets take a quick look at some of his work.

This is the man who wrote “Midnight Express,” “Year of the Dragon” and “Scarface,” in addition to co-writing “Conan the Barbarian.” He delved into chaos with “Salvador,” displayed the horrors of war in “Platoon,” plumbed the depths of greed in “Wall Street,” and explored the heights of heroism in “Born on the Fourth of July” and “World Trade Center.”

In “JFK” he took every conspiracy theory he could find to spin a mesmerizing film made of mostly conversations. He examined flawed men’s presidencies in “Nixon,” and “W,” a flawed rock star’s legacy in “The Doors.” He told the story of Alexander the Great but made it a love story, and made three of the weirdest action/comedy/noir films around with

“Natural Born Killers,” “U-Turn” and “Savages.”

Even in the worst of these movies, there is always an indelible moment or scene that makes it worth watching. He bounces between classical and handheld directing and different styles of film stock like he’s a pianist unable to settle on a sound for too long. As different as all of his movies are, there is usually a polarizing and flawed human in the center.

Sometimes they are fighting the good fight and trying to make a difference or lighting the world on fire just to watch it burn.

Edward Snowden is about as polarizing as they come, but Stone’s film lionizes him through and through. As fearless as Stone can be as a director, this film is about as fair and balanced as Fox News. As the ex-CIA and NSA employee who leaked classified documents to the press, he is one of the highest profile whistleblowers in U.S. history—bringing to light the staggering amount of surveillance being perpetrated on the American people (not to mention globally).

The screening I attended had a live satellite moderated discussion with Oliver Stone, Edward Snowden and the film’s stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley. Snowden is still incredibly well spoken and offered a half-dozen quotes that will probably become part of

“Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.”

— Edward Snowden

the cultural lexicon regarding freedom and privacy. Stone and Woodley looked uncomfortable, while Gordon-Levitt just kicked back and smiled.

So much of “Snowden” focuses on Edward Snowden’s relationship with his girlfriend Lindsay Mills. It’s arguably the driving force of the film instead of the

whistleblowing, which gives a high stakes movie a slower, plodding momentum.

After their fourth or fifth big fight, the film settles into a repetitiveness it doesn’t recover from.

The film is very well directed and Gordon-Levitt is astounding as Snowden, but it doesn’t come close to the intensity of the gripping Snowden doc, “Citizenfour.” The existence of that film makes the existence of this one pointless, other than getting to know the man behind the headlines better. If that’s the story Stone wanted to tell, then he succeeded, but in telling the story of someone who made such incredibly fearless decisions, Stone should have found his fearlessness as well. SW

"Blair Witch" brings more of the same

“T

he Blair Witch Project” doesn’t work anymore. I saw the movie opening night in 1999 and the slowly building tension, ambiguous horror and abruptly-unnerving ending worked perfectly on my 19-year-old brain. The film kept me up late into the night as I kept hearing what I thought was cackling outside in the fields surrounding my house.

The concept of a found-footage movie wasn’t really that new. “Cannibal Holocaust” basically invented the genre in 1980, but “The Blair Witch Project” took the concept of a documentary gone wrong to its next logical conclusion, changing the evolution of horror movies to this day. That right there is the problem. Found-footage movies have been steadily coming out for the last 16 years, so the original “Blair Witch” feels more like a parody now than an actual film.

“The Blair Witch Project” followed Heather, Mike and Josh, three film students who went into the woods of Burkittsville, Maryland, to make a documentary about Elly Kedward...The Blair Witch. According to legend, Kedward was executed for witchcraft in the 18th century and had been haunting the woods ever since, sometimes causing people to commit horrific murders.

The resulting film is the “recovered foot-

can only hope the scares and violence are a worthwhile substitute. But then there were none.

“Blair Witch” is never boring and director Adam Wingard crafts a fun diversion, but as the true sequel (the less said about “Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows” the better) to the granddaddy of found-footage horror, this needed to push the genre forward into new territory. There are some interesting ideas about time and perception that pop up intermittently, but the film boils down to a few people screaming in the woods while their cameras shake and capture almost nothing.

“This camping trip is the third worst one I’ve ever had!”

age” that was found a year later, showing their progressively terrible camping trip that goes from fun to dangerous quite quickly. On a $60,000 budget, the film made a quarter of a billion, resulting in the world getting 10-15 found footage movies a year since then.

Since 1999, there have been a few pretty great found footage films (“REC,” “REC 2,” and “Paranormal Activity” to name a few) and many terrible ones (“Diary of the Dead,” “Apollo 18” and many more).

Most of them at least tried to do something different with the genre, but “Blair Witch” 2016 feels too much like a repeat of the original.

The film follows James, the brother of Heather, the filmmaker who disappeared during the original. He takes his friends out to the woods to search for her after some possible new footage from the original expedition is uploaded to YouTube.

All four of the new characters are uninteresting and painfully annoying, so we

FILM EVENTS: BENDFILM

odd Looby has been with BendFilm for a few years now, and with his team of programmers, workers and volunteers, has crafted a festival that Bend can be proud of. Here Todd takes a few minutes to talk about his favorite movie, the culture of film and what he’s looking forward to in this year’s festival.

What is your favorite film? Why? My favorite film is “Dances With Wolves.” I say that always feeling the need to qualify it despite the fact that the film won something like 12 Oscars. So... we know it’s a great film, but why does it seem strange (even to me) as a favorite film pick?

Anyway, the film came out at the same time we first got cable/HBO at home and I watched the movie almost every day for a summer. Since I was really young, I’d always been enamored with frontier and Native philosophy and stories and this was the first time I saw a movie that humanized all characters—both heroes and villains and spoke to the wonder of the sacred outdoors and what is lost when

we don’t give it proper attention.

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

Film is the newest of all art forms and at a little over 150 years old (or whatever it is) it is still in its infancy if we compare it to music, literature and the performing arts. It is also unique in that it combines each of the art forms that came before it: music, photography, performing arts and written word. And, as with all great art and art forms, film is an incredible tool to helping us understand all the abstract things going on around us at such a quick pace. Watching a relevant and great film slows time and makes you see the world differently after

The final 20 minutes have a few creepy moments, but this new “Blair Witch” is almost completely scarefree. The jumps all come from loud noises and not from tension, mood and dread. That’s something the original knew how to do with no budget and amateur actors. Instead, “Blair Witch” follows the same path through the deep, dark woods—and as fun as revisiting the mythology of the Blair Witch is, nothing new has been found. SW "Blair Witch" Dir. Adam Wingard Grade: C Now playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

By Jared Rasic walking out of the theater. At the past two fests, I’ve heard dozens of stories from audience members and filmmakers who have changed perspectives or learned something through simultaneously experiencing a film and making a connection afterward.

Who is your favorite film character?

I’m going with the first that popped in my mind: “Rupert Pupkin”

by DeNiro in Scorsese’s “King of Comedy.” I never knew of De Niro’s comedic early career before reading Shawn Levy’s biography of him. And even though it’s not really a comedic part, it just screams of De Niro’s talent and range. We all know that you can’t take your eyes off De Niro in any

role, but little is said about his incredible range—especially in his prime. And Pupkin is—in itself—such a perfect embodiment of tragi-comedy. The concluding monologue in the film is one of the most engaging character studies that exists in film.

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

My life as a film would be “Brian’s Song” meets “Stand by Me” meets “Breakfast Club” meets “Brother Sun, Sister Moon” meets “Dazed & Confused” meets “Office Space” meets “Men with Guns” meets “Limbo” meets “8-1/2.” So...yeah... make sense of that!

Which BendFlim entry are you most excited to see this year?

“Return of the Secaucus 7.” I included two Sayles films in my answer above...so that says something about what an honor it will be to host John Sayles and Maggie Renzi. SW

" Bridget Jones's Baby"

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

have always loved to tarnish original movies with remakes and needless sequels, the advanced hype on “Blair Witch” made this one seem to be the exception to the rule. Sadly, even though the film is very well made, 2016’s “Blair Witch” is almost completely scare-free.

There are a ton of fun moments, but there’s just something off about this found footage flick. This one will work better for people who like their scares punctuated by loud noises instead of steadily creeping dread. See full review on p. 48. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

BRIDGET JONES’S BABY: It’s been several years since we’ve checked in with Ms. Jones and her delightfully madcap life. Now she’s pregnant and the father is either the painfully handsome and classy Colin Firth or the handsome and (Mc)Dreamy Patrick Dempsey.

These are good problems to have, but it’s Renee Zellweger’s winning charm in the role that sells just about every goofy moment of the series. Pretty dang fun for the third movie in a series and a very welcome addition to a fairly bad month of movies so far. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DON’T BREATHE: This is easily one of the 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DON’T THINK TWICE: A comedy/drama about the difficulties of standup 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.

Tin Pan Theater 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS: This new animated gem from Portland-based animation studio Laika has to be seen to be believed. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX LITTLE MEN: The new film from the delightful mind that brought us 2014’s heartwarming romantic drama, “Love is Strange.”

“Little Men” tells the story of two young men who become fast friends and their parents that pull them apart. Focusing on developing sexuality, gentrification and rising rent, the film is tough and unflinching, but filled with beautiful moments of true humanity. Tin Pan Theater

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.

“Sausage Party” is a deceptively profound look at organized religion and being true to your nature, regardless of how scary it might be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SNOWDEN: Instead of focusing on the spy games and real-like intensity of Edward Snowden’s choices that led him to exile in Russia, this biopic mostly spends time with Snowden and his domestic issues with his girlfriend. As fascinating as his life’s story is, the choice of focus seems to be a mistake, as getting to know the man more doesn’t create as compelling a yarn as it could have. “Citizenfour” is still the definitive look at the life and choices of Edward Snowden. See full review on p. 47. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SULLY: The combination of Clint Eastwood in the director’s chair and Tom Hanks in front of the camera sounds like a good one, but early word on this is mixed. Hanks plays Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the commercial pilot who landed an aircraft in the Hudson River without losing a single one of his 155 passengers. The true story angle is promising, but coming so quickly after Robert Zemeckis’ underrated “Flight,” the film might feel a bit repetitious. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE DISAPPOINTMENTS ROOM: This one was kept on the shelf for a few years before release and currently holds a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but director DJ Caruso (“The Salton Sea”), actress Kate Beckinsale (“Snow Angels”) and screenwriter Wentworth Miller (“Stoker”) are all undeniably talented. Hopefully, this one is just a case of mismanaged expectations and has a few genuine chills up its sleeve. Beckinsale pays an architect who moves into an old house with her family, only to discover a horrifying secret room. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS: A good, old-fashioned melodrama that takes a few very talented actors and gives them a less-than-intelligent script to contend with.

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander play a lighthouse keeper and his wife who, after a couple of miscarriages, find a baby and a dead body in a rowboat. They bury the body and keep the baby and all kinds of intensely dramatic moments ensue. The film bounces between ludicrous, infuriating and decent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS: An updated look at the same basic story beats as 1992’s “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.”

Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall play a young married couple who hire a beautiful woman to be their surrogate. The young woman moves into the house with the married couple and becomes more and more obsessed with the husband as her pregnancy gets further along.

Director Jon Cassar helmed 65 episodes of “24,” so hopefully, he can bring some of that tension over to what sounds like a very tepid tale. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SW

Writing for Wild Women

Author’s new book guides women in the wilderness

By Russ Axon 53

about the current literature can be alienating. I’d end up with these books that were pretty intense (laughs). Like, “You’re going to die if you can’t fashion your own snowshoes out of twigs.” And

McConnell is the author of “A Woman’s Guide to the Wild,” published earlier this year by Sasquatch Books. The guide covers the outdoor experience from a female perspective, discussing everything from camp setups to wilderness safety to feminine functions.

to be sharp and cut through any assumptions because otherwise it would’ve been dismissed, I think, as being fluffy.

SW: You also complement each chapter with these great interviews

SW: And that’s from the chapter that covers feminine hygiene in the outdoors, including topics like menstruation and sex while camping. Was it difficult writing that chapter, since few, if any, other outdoors books cover those topics?

RM: You would think so, but no. When the book was released, people were like, “You broke all these taboos!” But it’s not like I was on a crusade. We’re in a post-gender world. This book is behind even. Like any good geologist I was more concerned with maps, navigation and first-aid chapters because those are life-saving, essential skills that you do not want to get wrong. I grew up comfortable talking about body stuff. That’s easy, but anything that could save someone’s life, that’s hard to write because you want to be really clear.

“What I’m trying to do is look at what are the barriers to getting women outside, and how we can break those down.” — Ruby McConnell

SW: A lot of that clarity was aided by Teresa Grassechi’s terrific illustrations. How did the two of you end up collaborating?

RM: My editor knew her. The way that you do it is your write the book, then every time there should be an illustration that author writes, “Here’s what it should look like.” And I was really specific. I had a look that I was going for, that Laura Ingalls Wilder, hand-drawn, sketch thing.

For the maps chapter, Teresa had to learn how to draw maps, so she became a sort of junior geologist. She was amazing, and she would do things over again until every detail was exactly as it should be. I think it just elevated the book and is so essential to it.

“What I’m trying to do is look at what are the barriers to getting women outside, and how we can break those down,” she says.

As a researching and published geologist, McConnell has a wealth of wilderness experience from which any reader can benefit. “It says, ‘Woman’s Guide,’ but men can use it, too. That’s what women have been doing with the men’s guidebooks,” laughs McConnell.

McConnell is currently working on her second book, but will take a break to deliver two free presentations about her work: one at Crow’s Feet Commons on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 5:30 pm; then at Wild Ride Brewery in Redmond on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 6 pm. We spoke with the outdoors author about breaking taboos, collaborating with other women and secretly enjoying Oregon.

Source Weekly: You mention in the book that you always had trouble finding a relatable voice for outdoorswomen. Was that your main catalyst for writing this guide?

Ruby McConnell: The tone was super intentional because I felt like something

I was like, “Where’s the book for advice when nothing in particular has gone wrong, you’re just looking to make sure that nothing goes wrong?” It just wasn’t there. It was one of those things where I kept looking for it and looking for it for years, and then eventually, I got old and realized I have the skill set, so I was like, “I’m just going to write this now.”

SW: I think it’s great because you bring your outdoors experience, as well as your science background.

It makes for a comprehensive but always accessible read.

RM: I’m a geologist. I’m into outdoor education, and I’m way into science literacy. I was also very aware that if I was going to do this and call it a “woman’s guide,” then it has to be rigorous and thoroughly scientific. The science had

with outdoorswomen, asking them for advice and stories. Was there anything surprising you learned from them?

RM: The thing that was totally amazing to me was that—especially the experts, they were more than happy to be helpful, but they were also totally confused to what I was doing. And I think it was because they already had their skillset and M.O. But by the end of the interview they’d be onto it and would be like, “Here’s a thing that’s different for women.” They all had really great insights. I interviewed this bad-ass rock-climbing, backcountry nurse. We’re in a coffee shop and really loud and the first thing she says is, “I really wish that women would just get up and pee after they have sex.”

SW: While the book is helpful for most environments, it was definitely written with Central Oregon in mind.

Do you think you would’ve written this guide if you didn’t live here?

RM: I hope so, but I know that there is something unique and magnificent about the American West that forces its own import upon you. I think there is something about being from the western states that gives it a sense of urgency to protect and appreciate it. I think anybody who lives in Oregon knows that it’s paradise.

Which is why we tell everybody that it rains and the weather’s cruddy (laughs).

NATURAL WORLD

Rare Sighting

The Sierra Nevada Red Fox

By Jim Anderson

I

55 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 38 / September 22, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n all the 65 years I’ve had the pleasure of living in Oregon (except for a short stint with The Nature Conservancy in Arizona running Ramsey Canyon Preserve) I somehow missed bumping into a most remarkable animal, the Sierra Nevada red fox.

The first I ever heard of this beautiful resident of the Oregon High Country was a recent email from LeeAnn Kriegh, author of the new field guide, “The Nature of Bend.” Had she not sent the photos, I would have dismissed her sighting as just another report of the hundreds I’ve received on the eastern red fox, a very common alien resident in these parts.

The Sierra Nevada red fox, on the other hand, is something special, to the extent it can be red or gray, but in all phases it sports a big white blush on the end of its tail. So special, in fact, it’s not even listed in the “Atlas of Oregon Wildlife” published by Oregon State University Press in 2001.

The tiny kit fox population way down in the far reaches of SE Oregon is mentioned, along with the alien eastern red fox and native common gray fox, but somehow, the authors missed the Sierra Nevada red fox that’s been found throughout the Oregon Cascades for a long time.

Jon Nelson, curator of wildlife at the High Desert Museum, has captured multiple images of the Sierra Nevada red fox by several of his wildlife cameras placed throughout Central Oregon.

According to Wikipedia, it is also known as the High Sierra fox, and, “likely one of the most endangered mammals in North America.” There are an estimated 29 adults near Sonora Pass in California, 42 in the Southern Cascades in California near Lassen Volcanic National Park, and an unknown number of individuals in five areas of Oregon.

The State of California banned trapping of the Sierra Nevada red fox in 1974 and listed the subspecies as threatened in 1980. They also were designated in Oregon as a sensitive species by the U.S. Forest Service.

Here’s what the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has to say about the species: “The USFWS declined to list the Sierra Nevada red fox under the Endangered Species Act due in part to research conducted in Oregon showing a significant extension of its range.

“An ongoing study of the Sierra Nevada red fox (SNRF) has confirmed their presence in the Oregon Cascades, specifically

This photo captures the Sierra Nevada red fox, the ultimate survivor. Photo by LeeAnn Kriegh.

in the Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Washington, and Three Sisters Wilderness Areas. Additional samples from this study are being collected in the original study area and also throughout the Oregon Cascades, including Mt. Hood National Forest and Crater Lake National Park.”

“Due to these findings, SNRF has been added as a Strategy Species in the 2015 draft update of the Oregon Conservation Strategy (OCS), which include those species with small, declining or unknown population levels that could be at risk and may be in need of conservation.

The ODFW study started as part of a forest carnivore survey by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and working with the U.S. Forest Service, researchers set up bait, hair snares and cameras in a study from 2012 to 2014.

Remote cameras captured images of the rare fox which was originally thought to be the Cascades red fox that exists in Washington. Oregon also has the Rocky Mountain red fox in the northeastern part of the state and non-native lowland red foxes in much of the state. More than 700 photographs of SNRF were taken over the two-year project, and they were found at 11 of 41 bait stations throughout the Cascades study area.

The initial bait and camera project ended in June 2014, after which ODFW biologists met with biologists and seasonal employees with the U.S. Forest Service, Crater Lake National Park and the

Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs to collect scat and other samples.

Preliminary DNA analysis of hair samples suggests the foxes are the native Sierra Nevada subspecies of red fox.

Researchers are confident additional testing will answer more questions about these montane (mountain) red foxes.

minutes, both of us silent, near to each other but in our very different worlds.

I’ll never forget the experience," LeeAnn recalled.

Here’s LeeAnn’s story of her discovery of our “new” pal in the mountains: “I was celebrating Labor Day with a morning hike near Mt. Bachelor, and as I walked around a corner in the trail I came face to face with a fox that was standing no more than three feet from me.

“But there’s the darker side of the story— that people have been feeding SNRFs. When Jon told me that, I was devastated. Here we are, so incredibly lucky to have this rare, beautiful species in our backyards, and we’re treating it with disrespect. I know people probably don’t understand that they shouldn’t feed wild animals, so we just need more education.

But it’s deeper too, at least to me: We need to let wild be wild.

“She (I’m guessing it was a she) looked at me with absolutely zero concern and then walked a few paces over to a rocky overlook. At first I was afraid to move for fear of frightening her off, so I just stood there in awe—I’ve never seen a fox in the wild before, and I can’t say I’ve seen any wild animal that was quite so beautiful.

She was smaller than I’d imagined a fox would be, with extremely thin legs and a narrow chest. But then that big, gorgeous, flowing tail!

“Wild animals don’t need our handouts and hot dogs. What they do need is for us to nod our heads in recognition, give them the respect they deserve, and go out of our way to preserve and protect them.”

Should you come upon someone feeding foxes, please ask them to quit; it’s an open invitation for cougars to join in. The City of Sisters passed an ordnance prohibiting the feeding of mule deer within the city limits (which will go a long way to prevent cougar and man collisions.)

“When I got home, I wrote to Jon Nelson (Wildlife bio at the HDMuseum) and sent a photo. The white-tipped tail made me think it was a Sierra Nevada red fox, and Jon confirmed it. What luck! I told him I should go buy a lottery ticket.

I truly felt blessed to see such a rare creature, and not just to see it but to have the honor of watching it for a couple

On the other hand, while you’re hiking or riding in the high country should you come into contact with any fox, especially one with a big white blob on the end of its tail, please try and photograph it, but even if that fails, please send me a report regarding your observation to: jimnaturalist@gmail.com., and I’ll send it on to Corey Heath at ODFW.

Housing Woes Hit Prineville

Rental vacancy rate goes to less than 1 percent

According to the article, the Prineville City Council met in late August to discuss ways of addressing the affordable housing needs of the community. The discussions included the usual reductions in System Development Charges to give developers incentives and tightening of rent control laws. Reducing the SDC charges is a difficult topic because somebody has to pay those costs and if the developers have reduced costs, then existing customers end up paying the tab in the form of higher utility bills.

In a follow-up article last week, it was reported that the City of Prineville had received applications for four new affordable housing developments. Two of those applications were for new RV

parks. One of the RV park applications is to create a 100-space RV park on a 45-acre site and the other is for a 30-space site. Another application was for a 17-unit residential subdivision, and the last application is to convert an existing upper level downtown office space into a boarding house-type structure.

The 45-acre RV site is currently zoned for light industrial use, but is eligible for conversion to an RV park if it houses data center construction workers. This is because of a special temporary housing ordinance that the City Council had recently passed.

The affordable housing crisis will require creative solutions and changes, and passage of the special temporary housing ordinance by the City of Prineville seems to be helping, as evidenced by the new development applications.

Meeting affordable housing needs will also require openness to other housing alternatives such as tiny homes, which will also require zoning exceptions, etc.

So far this year, the planning department has approved 70 housing units for construction and the latest applications will make it over 200, which will be a strong year for Prineville. The latest applications are expected to be approved in October.

A

recent article in the Central Oregon Association of Realtors real estate news referenced an article in the Central Oregonian, which reported some surprising information on the Prineville housing market. The article mentioned that the rental vacancy rate in Prineville is less than one percent, and that like Bend, the Prineville City Council was dealing with issues of affordable housing. Apparently the large number of construction workers for the new data centers need temporary housing—so motels and local rentals are full.

ADVICE GODDESS Loaf Actually

--Torn There are people who chase their dreams, and there are those—like your boyfriend—who just chillax on the couch, smoking a doob, waiting for their dreams to be in the neighborhood and maybe knock on the door.

He does sound like a good man—which doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a good man to make a life with (which is why everybody’s campaigning for you to ditch him).

Maybe you’re thinking, “Okay, so he’s kind of a laid-back dude. It’s 2016; can’t the woman be the breadwinner?” Well, yes…but his lack of drive is likely to be a problem—at least eventually.

Evolutionary developmental psychologist Bruce J. Ellis explains that there’s this notion by some social scientists—called the “structural powerlessness hypothesis”—that women only go for powerful men because they themselves lack power.

This, Ellis writes, is “directly contradicted” by research—on feminist leaders, for example—that finds that “high-power women (want) super-powerful men.”

They aren’t all, “Well, I make plenty of money; I think I’ll marry Hot Julio, the pool boy.”

Now, maybe you went for your sweet underachiever as a reaction to jerks in your recent past—or because it’s supposedly “shallow” to want a partner to be, say, at least a certain height or making some kind of mark in business. But, using the height example, if you really aren’t attracted to shorter guys, getting involved with one is basically benevolent cruelty.

Sooner or later, your libido’s going to be all, “Okay, so you got drunk and went home with the garden gnome. But enough is enough.”

It is possible that you and Laid-Back Larry could live happily ever after. But ask yourself some questions: Where do you see yourself in five years? Could you count on him to put down the bong and go make money if you got sick? Will your friends and family come to accept him, or will you end up unhappily isolated? And finally, do you want kids? If so, consider that you can downscale your lifestyle but you can’t downscale your kid from needing dental care or hand him makeshift forceps to take the toy truck out of his nose.

Sure, this guy would probably be the ideal stay-at-home dad. But consider— in line with what Ellis explains—that a number of studies find that women married to a Mr. Mom often end up resenting and losing respect for him, and those marriages are more likely to end in divorce.

You probably need some time to figure all of this out. Because people read the words in letters (instead of yelling over them), maybe write one to your family to ask them to be kind to him at family functions—for your sake. And finally, try not to be so dramatic about your options.

You’re 35. The fertility train might be leaving the station pretty soon, but it’s not like this guy is your last chance before “Marriage is between a woman and her cat!” and “P.S. Snowball and I are registered at Bloomingdale’s and Petco.”

As for why this is, Ellis explains (as I often do) that ancestral women who went for mover-and-shaker men were more likely to have children who survived and passed on their genes. “Over evolutionary time,” he writes, “evaluative mechanisms” were built into female psychology to push women “to detect and prefer males” with a “willingness and ability” to provide for them and their children.

A guy doesn’t necessarily have to be

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here’s my translation of a passage from the ancient Gospel of Thomas, a gnostic text about the teachings of Jesus: “If you do not awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will damage you. If you do awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will heal you.”

Whether you actually awaken and develop those talents or not depends on two things: your ability to identify them clearly and your determination to bring them to life with the graceful force of your willpower. I call this to your attention, Libra, because the coming months will be a highly favorable time to expedite the ripening of your talents. And it all starts NOW.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can’t completely eliminate unhelpful influences and trivial saboteurs and debilitating distractions from your life. But you’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you have more power than usual to diminish their effects. To get started in this gritty yet lofty endeavor, try this: Decrease your connection with anything that tends to demean your spirit, shrink your lust for life, limit your freedom, ignore your soul, compromise your integrity, dishonor your reverence, inhibit your self-expressiveness, or alienate you from what you love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Work too much and push yourself too hard, Sagittarius.

Eat corn chips for breakfast, ice cream for lunch, and French fries for dinner—every day, if possible. And please please please get no more than four hours’ sleep per night. If you have any extra time, do arduous favors for friends and intensify your workout routine. JUST KIDDING! Don’t you dare heed any of that ridiculous advice. In fact, I suggest you do just the opposite. Dream up brilliant excuses not to work too much or push too hard. Treat yourself to the finest meals and best sleep ever. Take your mastery of the art of relaxation to new heights. Right now, the most effective way to serve your long-term dreams is by having as much fun, joy, and release as possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): I propose that you and I make a deal.

Here’s how it would work: For the next three weeks, I will say three prayers for you every day.

I will ask God, Fate, and Life to send you more of the recognition and appreciation you deserve. I will coax and convince them to give you rich experiences of being seen for who you really are.

Now here’s what I ask of you in return: You will rigorously resolve to act on your core beliefs, express your noblest desires, and say only what you truly mean. You will be alert for those times when you start to stray from the path with heart, and you will immediately get yourself back on that path. You will be yourself three times stronger and clearer than you have ever been before.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you loosen yourself up by drinking an alcoholic beverage, don’t drive a forklift or ride a unicycle. If you have a hunch that your luck at gambling is peaking, don’t buy lottery tickets or play the slot machines. If you’re drawn to explore the frontiers of intimacy, be armed with the ancient Latin maxim, Primum non nocere, or “First, do no harm.”

And if you really do believe it would be fun to play with fire, bring a fire extinguisher with you.

In presenting this cautionary advice, I’m not saying that you should never push the limits or bend the rules. But I want to be sure that as you dare to experiment, you remain savvy and ethical and responsible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I invite you to ex-

plore the healing power of sex. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to do so. You are also likely to generate good fortune for yourself if you try to fix any aspect of your erotic life that feels wounded or awkward. For best results, suspend all your theories about the way physical intimacy should work in your life. Adopting a beginner’s mind could lead you to subtly spectacular breakthroughs. (P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner to take full advantage of this big opening.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Even if you are a wild-eyed adventure-seeker with extremist views and melodramatic yearnings, you’ll ben-

efit from taking a moderate approach to life in the coming weeks. In fact, you’re most likely to attract the help and inspiration you need if you adopt the strategy used by Goldilocks in the fairy tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears:” neither excessive nor underdone, neither extravagant nor restrained, neither bawdy, loud, and inyour-face nor demure, quiet, and passive—but rather just right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some of my readers love me but also hate me. They are drawn to my horoscopes in the hope that I will help relieve them of their habitual pain, but then get mad at me when I do just that. In retrospect, they feel lost without the familiar companionship of their habitual pain. It had been a centerpiece of their identity, a source of stability, and when it’s gone, they don’t know who they are any more. Are you like these people, Taurus?

If so, you might want to avoid my horoscopes for a while. I will be engaged in a subtle crusade to dissolve your angst and agitation. And it all starts now with this magic spell: Your wound is a blessing. Discover why.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In my dream last night, bad guys wearing white hats constrained you in a canvas straitjacket, then further wrapped you up with heavy steel chain secured by three padlocks. They drove you to a weedy field behind an abandoned warehouse and left you there in the pitch dark. But you were indomitable. By dawn, you had miraculously wriggled your way out of your confinement. Then you walked back home, free and undaunted. Here’s my interpretation of the dream: You now have special skills as an escape artist. No cage can hold you. No riddle can stump you. No tangle can confuse you. (P.S.: For best results, trust yourself even more than you usually do.)

CANCER (June 21July 22): The next four weeks will be a favorable time to come all the way home. Here are nine prompts for how to accomplish that: 1.

Nourish your roots. 2.

Strengthen your foundations. 3. Meditate about where you truly belong. 4. Upgrade the way you attend to your self-care. 5. Honor your living traditions. 6.

Make a pilgrimage to the land where your ancestors lived. 7. Deepen your intimacy with the earth. 8. Be ingenious about expressing your tenderness. 9. Reinvigorate your commitment to the influences that nurture and support you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What tools will work best for the tasks you’ll be invited to perform in the coming weeks? A sledgehammer or tweezers? Pruning shears or a sewing machine? A monkey wrench or a screwdriver? Here’s my guess: Always have your entire toolbox on hand.

You may need to change tools in mid-task—or even use several tools for the same task. I can envision at least one situation that would benefit from you alternating between a sledgehammer and tweezers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m confident that I will never again need to moonlight as a janitor or dishwasher in order to pay my bills. My gig as a horoscope columnist provides me with enough money to eat well, so it’s no longer necessary to shoplift bread or scavenge for dented cans of beets in grocery store dumpsters. What accounts for my growing financial luck? I mean besides the fact that I have been steadily improving my skills as an oracle and writer? I suspect it may in part have to do with my determination to cultivate generosity. As I’ve become better at expressing compassion and bestowing blessings, money has flowed to me in greater abundance. Would this strategy work for you? The coming weeks and months will be a good time to experiment.

Homework: Name the one thing you could change about yourself that would improve your love life.

59 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 38 / September 22, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’m a 35-year-old woman, and my boyfriend of a year is 43. Sadly, my friends and family don’t like him. They think he’s “not good enough” for me.

Their argument: He doesn’t have a fulltime job with benefits (like me), plus he smokes pot to relax; therefore, he is lazy and will live off me and my retirement money. (Sorry, but enjoying retirement alone isn’t my idea of a “secure future.”)

He has a part-time job he likes, makes enough to pay his bills in a (small) house he owns, and saves for things he wants.

He is loving, has my back to an unreasonable degree, and says he’s pretty sure he used up all his luck getting me. Unfortunately, all minds are made up; there’s no explaining what a deeply good man he is.

I feel awkward bringing him to gatherings or even mentioning him. The worst, though, is my nagging question: Could they be right?

rich for you to get your “man with mate value!” box checked. What seems to matter is potential—that he is ambitious and has a reasonable shot at achieving what he’s going after.

SMOKE SIGNALS

By Steve Holmes

Cannabis policy in bizarre-o world

N

early 50 years ago, President Nixon declared war on certain drugs. A lot of people weren’t convinced that cannabis was terrible, so Congress established a commission to study cannabis.

That commission reported that cannabis was no more harmful than alcohol and that the harm of the drug was not enough to warrant intrusion by the law.

Nixon ignored the recommendations and “declared war” on cannabis, too. In 1994, Nixon’s key advisor John Erlichman admitted that the Nixon administration was “lying,” and was doing so specifically to “vilify…the anti-war left and black people.” Yet to this day, state and federal policies differ widely. Consider a few examples: The Commerce Clause of the Constitution guarantees a single, nationwide economic market, and the Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down laws that restrict economic activity to a single state. But the federal government allows cannabis businesses to operate only in single states – making cannabis the only commodity in U.S. history that cannot cross state lines.

Federal law creates liability for banks that open accounts for cannabis businesses, forcing most cannabis businesses to oper-

ate with cash.

Last month, a federal appeals court said that Congress had reasonably concluded that using cannabis “raises the risk of irrational and unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associated.”

Therefore, the federal government’s ban on gun ownership for medical marijuana cardholders does not violate the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms. How would America’s drinkers react to having their guns taken away under the reasoning that drinkers can occasionally become “irrational and unpredictable?” Even suspected terrorists who are on the federal government’s “no-fly list” are allowed to purchase guns.

Americans have received life sentences for possessing cannabis but no one has been sentenced to life for killing someone while driving drunk.

The issue goes deep into America’s cultural institutions. Last month, Dallas Cowboys’ running back Ezekiel Elliott visited a pot shop in Seattle. Elliott did not buy or ingest cannabis – something that is strictly forbidden by NFL rules – yet he was forced to apologize for the visit. There was no mention of how many Cowboy players visited bars during their trip to Seattle.

The back page of a paper is a lot like the front page. It’s one of the first things you see and you’ve got a 50 percent chance that when you throw it on a table/couch/bed that the back will face the sky. Those are some good odds. So! If you’d like to get heard (read?) about whatever it is you need, or want, here is a good place to start. Do you need employees? What about volunteers? Would you like to say “Happy Birthday” or maybe even just get the word out about your business? Are you reading this now? Are you tired of reading these questions? Well, we’ve got the answer for you! You can get the word out, on whatever those words might be right here…here…up there…maybe a little to the left and some over there. We can run your advertisment, congratulations or announcement for a week all the way up to a year. Contact moore@bendsource.com or call 541-383-0800 for additional information.
