OPINION Letters

CRARY ENDORSEMENT

5 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 41 / October 13, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I do not disagree with the Source assessment that my campaign can be called, “campaign light” or that next time I will need to raise money to be able to better get my message out to Congressional District (“CD”) 2 voters. However, I do not feel that my campaign has lacked effort. Rather, I would say I have not run a traditional campaign.

Before I got in to this race I looked at the past races against Mr. Walden and I saw he has always received between 61.5-74 percent of the vote. I also looked at how much money he had on hand (it was about $1,500,000 with no debts). So, I decided that unless I could raise at least $3,000,000 I really had very little chance against him in a “traditional” campaign. To me a “traditional” campaign is one where lots of money is raised (except in Bernie’s campaign) from special interests and the rich with the goals of generating name recognition, negative ads and speaking only in broad general platitudes which initially sound good but really mean nothing (e.g. “I want to cut government waste” but they do not identify specific cuts). Instead I decided I would run, not a “traditional” campaign but one of issues and solutions.

The reason I chose not to accept money from anyone this time around is because I do not like waste of any kind so, I really did not want to take someone’s hard earned money and then waste it on a traditional campaign where my chances of winning were so small. So, I instead opted to spend my own money and to go to as many places in CD 2 as I could; introduce myself and make contacts for the next time. I have to say I have learned an incredible amount and have met lots of wonderful people throughout CD 2. When I run again in 2018, I will raise money from the people in CD 2 (but no special interests or people outside of CD 2) but I will spend it as effectively and efficiently as possible. So, I respectfully disagree with the “F” for effort.

As far as attacking Mr. Walden’s voting record in order to sway many voters in this district. I again, for the most part, have taken a different path (I have criticized him for not supporting the Klamath Basin Water Agreement last November). That different path being, laying out the issues that are important to me and how I would propose to solve them. I really do not think that who might be in the stall next to me in a public bathroom is the most pressing issue for our Country. I wanted to instead talk about Campaign Finance reform, climate change, income inequality, fixing Social Security and the other issues on my website and, in that, I think I have succeeded.

Again thank you for your endorsement and I hope I will be able to earn it again in 2018.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FEE WOES My husband and I have lived and worked in Bend since 1995. We feel betrayed by the city we love.

In 2000, we purchased a house at 241 SE Airpark Dr. in Bend. We were aware we were onseptic and had a metal septic tank.

We were also aware that the city of Bend had recently installed a sewer line down the private airstrip behind our house with the intent for residentsalong the airstrip to eventually hook up to sewer. We figured we would hook up to that line ifand when our system failed. Our system never failed, we never had a problem with our septic tank or drainfield.

In April, 2016, we put our house on the market. We could sell our house at a good profit and not be required to pay Capital Gains due to our ages. We were blindsided when we were made aware of Oregon’s “300 Foot Rule.” Since we purchased our home, Hollow Pines subdivision had been built and had brought in a sewer line to within 300 feet of our property line. The city no longer allowed us to hook up to the line in the airstrip since it was a pressurized line.

We were never informed of this change in thought by the city. We were required to hook up to the line in the street…200-ft. and uphill from our home. Since we were downhill from the sewer, we had to purchase a pump and tank. We had to pay nearly $10,000 to the city for permits, including a System Development Fee of $4745.47!

We were required to tear up our deck to trench from our backyard to the street. We were required to dig a seven-foot deep-hole for the sump and pump. This procedure took twice as long as expected. We received a rough permit on the sewer line, filled the trench and then were informed a code had changed and we needed to dig the trench again to install a vent line. We also were told we didn’t need to repave the entire with of the road since it wasn’t in very good condition, then after the project was completed, the city changed their mind and required the paving at an additional cost of $3,000.

It is obvious that the city of Bend has no plan developed for people caught in similar situations. We were not told complete details about how to proceed. We were not told of a reimbursement district program offered by the city until we accidently heard about it and asked. The purpose of this program is so that others in the neighborhood would not benefit from our expense.

We were told there was a program, but the process needed to be started before construction began…There is no plan in place to help citizens pay for the required installation. For some this would be a tremendous financial burden making it impossible for them to sell their homes.

This was not a terrible burden for us, but certainly not how we planned to spend $60,000 from the sale of our home. That is correct—$60,000!

Yes on Measure 99 Summer camp is something of a rite

Greg Delgado

State Senate District 27 Day after day, we here at the Source Weekly hear from readers who are deeply concerned about affordable housing and earning a living wage. The acute situation has left many Central Oregonians living in less-than-ideal situations, including living in cars, doubling up or permanently camping.

Coupled with a need for meaningful reform in education funding, we believe these are the largest issues facing the most vulnerable populations in our area.

Greg Delgado doesn’t just have issues of affordable housing and livingwage jobs on his radar as something to occasionally consider; he’s living them every day, he says, as a man who works two jobs to maintain a residence in downtown Bend. A voice for the working person is one we need in Salem.

We also like his stance on legislative accountability as it relates to PERS; Delgado believes in finding a solution that doesn’t involve putting the burden on the backs of the workers who were promised a solid retirement.

Delgado’s record working on the boards of CAUSA—the state’s immigrant rights coalition—as well as Jobs with Justice and the Latino Community Association belie his personal passions for immigrant and workers’ rights, raising the minimum wage and paid sick leave—problems that make living and surviving in our community most challenging for working families.

This is not something he does for a job; it’s something he advocates for because he feels passionately about the issues.

We are also impressed with Delgado’s disbelief in the politicking within the two-party system. In a Senate district that’s deeply divided in its political leanings, the person in this seat needs to be a moderate. While Tim Knopp has done good work on women’s issues, he voted with the Republican party 91.71 percent of the time in 2016, according to

of passage for young people who are learning about the world around them.

Unfortunately for many of our at-risk and low-income students in Oregon, it’s something that’s simply out of reach without outside help. It is for the sake of our student populations who wouldn’t otherwise have access to this valuable form of science and outdoorbased education that we support Measure 99.

The outdoor school initiative designates about $22 million per year in state lottery funds for a full week of outdoor school for fifth and sixth graders in Oregon, through the nonprofit corporation Save Outdoor School for All. This programming, long heralded as evidence of Oregon’s commitment to nurturing environmental awareness, is one that has seen waves of increased and decreased funding over its life span.

Because the measure includes a caveat that the allocation to outdoor school won’t take money away from education, parks, beaches, watersheds or fish and wildlife, the money has to come from other parts of the Lottery budget. Opponents have criticized the measure for taking Oregon Lottery funds away from economic development agencies such as Business Oregon. While we agree that it’s not an easy choice, we venture to say that Oregon’s economy is strong at the present time.

What’s not strong in our state?

Educational funding that benefits our most vulnerable citizens—namely, our children. It’s not an easy choice to decide between educational programming and backing budding businesses, but in this case, we have to side with the effort to leave no child left inside.

Vote Yes on Measure 99. SW

Steeped in Problems

I

t was 2013 when Kim Brannock of Bend first witnessed thousands of dying fish in a side channel of the upper Deschutes River near Lava Island. As co-founder of the Coalition for the Deschutes, she was sickened by the sight, only to find out it had been occurring for decades with seasonal irrigation water flows that run extremely heavy in the summer and light in the winter.

When growers need water, the flow from Wickiup Dam is at its highest level, often causing washed-out channels that damage sensitive riparian environments essential to the health of the river and its fish.

When the growing season is completed by mid-October, the flows are slowed dramatically in order to store water in Crane Prairie and Wickiup reservoirs for the next season. Fish become stranded in side channels with no way to swim to the main stream.

The result of this on-and-off water flow is that fish often die. The cycle repeats itself year after year.

For the last four years, in October, a coalition of environmental organizations, fishing groups, government agencies and irrigation officials step into their waders to rescue the fish around Lava Island.

Thousands of fish have been rescued.

Thousands have died.

“We lost thousands of fish that first year,” says Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife fish biologist Brett Hodgson. Rescue efforts have improved since then, and now most fish trapped in the side channel are successfully transferred to the main river channel.

“In all likelihood, this has probably been going on for 50 years since Wickiup was constructed,” he says.

The Health of the Deschutes The rescue effort serves to call attention to the current health of the river and the way it is managed. While the health of the upper Deschutes has been under the microscope for decades since Wickiup Dam was

constructed in 1949, there’s a growing sense of urgency around finding a more consistent flow of water yearround, so aquatic life can thrive and crops can grow.

For the past three years, rescue efforts have been coordinated by the ODFW. This year the Central Oregon Irrigation District–which must supply water to its 3,600 patrons–is coordinating the rescue. COID’s Shon Rae says, “Fish salvage is not a solution to long-standing problems the river is facing.” Brannock says the rescue is only a band-aid approach to a much deeper problem of how the river is managed. The Coalition’s Gail Snyder adds, “If you wanted to write a manual on how to kill a river, you would do what we’ve done to the Deschutes.”

History records stories of catching thousands of fish for Bend’s annual 4th of July celebration fish fry. But that was before the region grew and the

According to Hodgson, the problem goes beyond fish. Macro invertebrates—the base of the food chain that supports all wildlife including fish, frogs and birds—are suffering in the upper Deschutes. Much attention was focused on river health when environmental groups sued over concerns with the threatened spotted frog populations, which are also adversely impacted by inconsistent seasonal water flows. “That’s going to have a big influence on how water is managed as well,” says Hodgson.

“The problem is well documented, and there are solutions,” says Snyder, also a co-founder of the Coalition for the Deschutes, who thinks changes for the river are imminent. She states that the coalition wants to see a return to winter-time flows of 500 cfs at Wickiup in five

.” years. Snyder Deschutes says she sees a new focus of coop-

demand for water grew with it. “Prior to the construction of Crane Prairie and Wickiup reservoirs, the Deschutes was renowned as being one of the most stable rivers for seasonal flow in the entire world,” says Hodgson.

For decades the river thrived on a consistent water flow of between 600-800 cubic feet per second yearround. Since the construction of Wickiup, that flow ranges from 2,000 in the summer to as low as 25-30 cfs in the winter. “It doesn’t take a scientist or a fish biologist to figure out that going from 2,000 cfs to 30 is very difficult for fish,” says Hodgson. “It’s the whole ecology and environment of the upper river that is suffering.”

eration by stakeholders who use river water—including the eight irrigation districts that distribute the water—to find solutions. ODFW’s Hodgson agrees and says that higher water flows during the winter are the "end game" they are hoping for.

Varying Approaches While environmentalists and fish biologists agree that there needs to be a higher winter-time water flow, there is some disagreement as to whether or not Central Oregon has enough water to meet all needs.

“The evidence points to there being enough water for farms, fish, and municipalities. The bottom line is that it’s going to require sharing the water and using it wisely,” says Snyder. But when asked if there is

enough water for all, ODFW fish biologist Hodgson was skeptical. “The short answer to that is ‘no.’ I don’t think there is enough water to go around and meet the current demand that is being put on the river right now.” Hodgson says there will have to be conservation measures and a reduction in consumptive demand for water in order to make meaningful changes in the river.

Eighty percent of the water in the Deschutes basin is diverted to irrigation districts for agricultural uses.

“That’s really where the savings have to happen,” says Snyder. Both Hodgson and Snyder feel that farming practices will need to become more efficient and water conservation efforts enhanced to meet future demands.

One controversy concerns the condition of irrigation canals in Central Oregon. The Central Oregon Irrigation District has 60 miles of main canals and 400 total miles of canals. COID’s Rae says the district has the most potential water gain among districts because there is a 40 percent loss of water in the century-old ditches due to leaks and cracks that allow water to seep into the ground. That loss contributes to the strain on the river, according to Rae. COID is looking at piping projects to help conserve water, and for many living on canals that is a sore subject.

They want to see water, not pipes, running through canals. Local residents are also concerned that irrigation channels are increasingly used for power generation–a purpose for which they were not originally intended.

“Trying to bring the public along is a big challenge,” says Rae. “They aren’t excited about having their canals piped. But if you look at the big picture, it’s unfortunate…but we have some things we’re going to have to do that aren’t beneficial for some people.”

It’s also costly. According to Rae, the estimated cost of piping the Central Oregon Irrigation District canals is between $400-500 million. At the farm level, the cost of conservation upgrades can be tens of thousands of dollars. Rae suggests that it’s hard for farmers to buy in to costly conservacontinued on page 9

Absolutely,” she said.

In the meantime, a basin study work group is looking at options and answers to help improve the upper Deschutes water flows. The group will issue a report in 2018, but COID's Rae says they should have a good idea of recommendations by the fall of 2017, just one year away. That will include where it makes the most sense to pipe and what financing options are available.

Snyder suggests that piping will be a key conservation component. “Piping the canals and ditches are a crucial part of conserving water that must be done in conjunction with better irrigation practices on the farm.” Current practices sometimes include flooding

fields rather than using more efficient sprinkler systems.

A Flood of Challenges ODFW’s Hodgson says the irrigation districts—particularly the Central Oregon Irrigation District—have major challenges that they are addressing. “They’ve got a track record of 50-60 years of doing business a certain way, and now all of a sudden they have people coming at them from different angles telling them you’ve got to change. I think they realize that change is necessary; it’s just taken them awhile to figure out how to implement new measures.”

There is a ray of short-term hope.

The irrigation districts have agreed

that more water can flow from Wickiup dam this winter. In past winters the rate has been slowed to as little as 25 cfs. This winter the flow will be 100 cubic feet per second, providing four times the level of recent winter flows.

“That is a great start,” says Snyder of the Coalition for the Deschutes.

The goal is that – with updated conservation and management practices—the upper Deschutes River will begin to recover. The long-term hope of the coalition is that the sight of dying fish as witnessed by Brannock won’t occur again, and that fish rescues like those conducted over the last four years will become a thing of the past.

Designing a Better Solution

Creators of The Housing Game offer a serious look at the hurdles to affordable housing

T

aking place Oct. 20 and 21, the Bend Design conference touts itself as a “celebration of design culture in the modern world.” This year, that celebration includes an effort to understand—and fix—the affordable and workforce housing shortage that exists in Central Oregon. Among the workshops happening at this year’s conference is one titled “Bend Design Challenge: The Housing Game.” It’s an interactive game that puts participants in the shoes of those working to build affordable and workforce housing in Bend.

Participants begin by analyzing the basic nuts and bolts that developers start with, including the proforma analysis that helps developers calculate the financial return—or lack thereof—that they’ll get from a particular project. That means factoring in the high cost of land, the sometimes-limiting development code, the local median income and other challenges that developers face when planning projects that working people can actually afford.

The idea was born from an effort

by ScaleHouse—the producer of Bend Design—at the Future Fair, part of the Bend Livability Conference that took place in June. During that event, ScaleHouse asked people to share their biggest concerns about livability in Bend. The most pressing issue, according to participants, was housing, with 65 percent of the votes. From there,

BND DSGN CHALLENGE 20% 65%

TRANSPORTATION

the idea for a Housing Game emerged, and the organizers formed a group that included local architects, contractors and designers who would create the game.

Beyond the game’s initial numbers-crunching, the game gives participants a tangible view of the projects they’re “working” on. Participants will use Lego pieces that represent the various features that go into a development project, including parking and living spaces.

The end game, says architect ML Vidas, is to help people who don’t normally deal in day-to-day challenges of development see and understand the challenges, and then to apply their creativity to finding new solutions.

Vidas is one of the handful of locals who helped design the game.

“If you’ve been in Bend for more than about five minutes you’re aware of how difficult housing is, how expensive it is,” Vidas says “Understanding the complexity of it is one of the things that the game is going to provide,” Even further, it’s intended to help locals contribute to the quest for solutions in a meaningful way.

“The City of Bend in its urban growth boundary process is right now looking at making changes to the development code. And the development code regulates things like how tall a building can be, how many parking spaces you need to provide, and those constraints have a tremendous

What would make Bend more livable?

We asked the community at Bend’s Future Fair 2016 a series of questions about making Bend a more livable city focusing on transpiration, the environment, and housing.

direct impact on what can be built,” Vidas says. “We as people that live here, we can have an influence.”

One thing constraining developers, Vidas says, is the current parking requirement paradigm. Parking spaces take up a lot of physical space, but if parking structures could be built where people live, it could ease that developer pain.

As the Source Weekly went to press, the Housing Game workshop was nearly sold out, according to Heather Crank, owner of the Bendbased design collective Crahmanti.“It’s definitely gaining a lot of momentum and it’s a really hot topic here,” says Crank, who’s serving on the volunteer committee that designed the game.

“If you don’t fully understand the process—and I didn’t at all—it just seems like ‘well why can’t they do this,

they should be able to make affordable housing,’ but it’s super complicated,” Crank says. “So we distilled that down to a very simple game just to get people participating and talking.” The focus at the conference, Crank says, is to make the game fun, while also focusing on solutions.

Meanwhile, Vidas says she and the other architects who came up with the game are open to doing the game for other groups looking to understand the challenges of affordable housing— but for now, you’ll have to attend Bend Design to get a taste… SW Bend Design Conference Oct. 20 & 21 Downtown Bend $150 both days, $75 for students benddesign.org

tion measures if the irrigation districts don’t do it first.

Snyder at the Coalition for the Deschutes says the investment is worth every penny. “Long term, the investment we make today in conserving water will pay back many-fold and not just economically but for us as a society for the things that we value and cherish in Central Oregon.”

Pat Kliewer of Kliewer Engineering Associates of Bend is a critic of piping and of hydro generation on the canals. In February of this year she told the Source Weekly that hydro projects on the canals contribute to a lack of water in the upper Deschutes.

“If we took the power plants offline, would that help conserve water?

Perseverance

The Tower presents an evening with Rita Moreno

By Jared Rasic 13 used to. And that’s wonderful. But I think the next step is going to have to be something new and I think it’s going to take a lot of time. It’s going to be harder. Now it’s time to start writing very important roles...the kinds of roles (Viola Davis said it so perfectly), roles that will earn you a nomination.

That’s not happened yet.”

Moreno has an idea for what the first step in making Hispanic diversity in film and television a reality, and it’s a good one. “We need to get more serious with the Latino actors and actresses,” says Moreno. “They need to be given something more to do than just be in a series simply because they’re Latino.”

Her show in Bend is a cabaret performance in which she tells stories and sings. Moreno also just wrapped 13 episodes of a reboot of “One Day at a Time,” written by the also-legendary Norman (“All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons”) Lear.

Even in her golden years, Moreno isn’t slowing down in the slightest and should be an inspiration to anyone looking to go into show business. Her advice is simple and sobering: “Aside from getting very lucky, it has a great deal to do with perseverance. I always say that’s my middle name, Rita Perseverance Moreno. I think it’s what’s taken me throughout this life. I have to say something else, particularly for the young people, that’s really important. It’s called education, education, education. There is no guarantee that you’ll be a working actor or actress so you’d better find a skill while you’re still in school that will help pay the rent and help pay for your acting lessons and for your food and your clothing. You cannot, unfortunately, get along on just talent or being lucky.

A lot of very young people still believe in that kind of magic and it works less and less each year.” SW

An Evening with Rita Moreno Tuesday, Oct. 18, 7:30pm Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend $45-$70

Austin Hargrave

Her largest role came in 1956 when she played Tuptim in “The King and I.” Aside from that role, Moreno was disappointed with the roles she was being offered as she felt they were all very stereotypical Latina characters.

She exploded into the mainstream when she played Anita in 1961's “West Side Story.” She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and instead of capitalizing on her newfound success, she didn’t make another movie for years. Once again, everything she was offered were stereotypical Latina characters, except now they were gang members.

“I was absolutely heartbroken,” says Moreno. “In fact, I made a choice not to do ‘West Side Story Redux.’ It was being done on a much lesser scale without the music and without the dancing. Boy, I guess I showed them. I didn’t do another film for seven years after I won those awards. My heart was broken. I couldn’t believe the business was so locked into stereotypes.”

She does feel like Hollywood might be getting a bit better as the years have worn on. “It’s changed,” says Moreno.

“You certainly see a lot more Hispanics on television... way more than you

See the luminous, lovely and incredible Rita Moreno at the Tower Theatre, 10/18.

T

he first thing I ask someone I’m interviewing is how the tour is going. I typically call a performer while they’re on the road somewhere, asking how it’s going so far, as it’s usually a good way to gauge how long the interview will be. If they talk about how tired they are, that means to keep it short, but if they’re filled with excitement and verbosity, I won’t try to wrap things up too quickly.

When I asked living legend Rita Moreno how her tour was going so far, she laughed and said, “Oh, it’s so wonderful! I am one tired Puerto Rican!” We only talked for 15 minutes, but I could have talked to her for hours. At 84, Moreno is a born storyteller and she’s so effortlessly charming that it’s almost disarming.

Moreno was born in 1931 in Humacao, Puerto Rico, to a seamstress and a farmer. Her mother moved to NYC in 1936, bringing Rita along for the adventure. Soon after she started taking dancing lessons from the uncle of Rita Hayworth. By the time she was 13, she had already been cast in her first Broadway role in “Skydrift.”

In the 1950s, she had small roles in “The Toast of New Orleans” and “Singin’ in the Rain” and by 1954 was on the cover of Life magazine.

Music With A Mission

Nahko and Medicine for the People are set to inspire and empower

By Chris Young healing through collaborations with fellow rising Oregonians, including the Joseph sisters as well as scene notables Xavier Rudd, Trevor Hall and Zella Day. Fascinated and “inspired by traditional people in this country,” Bear’s battle includes connecting with both Mother Nature and native peoples.

“Having had so much taken from them by the colonized west, their resilience and discipline to keeping their traditions and sacred places safe is so moving,” he says. “I wake with a sense of hope and positivity because I know the beauty of the world. I know that life is a gift and nature is the spring that will fill up our well.”

Inspirational in his own right, Bear encourages his fans to join the fight, to be the positive change you want to see in the world. “The collective consciousness and power we have in moving together in social change is imperative to understand deeper social change,” he describes. “We can find solutions to our energy extraction within renewables, become involved

Born in Portland, Bear’s Puerto Rican, Apache and Filipino roots inform his music with a fusion of mixed cultural influences.

With native chanting sprinkled throughout, the record admonishes the state of the current world, while also seeking to offer solutions and

in local politics, educate ourselves on water on all levels, etc. Get involved locally with movements that support from the heart, and not out of fear.”

“A

s an indigenous mutt, I have the unique gift to create bridges between many communities through music, activism and social work,” says Nahko Bear, the singer, songwriter and band leader of the worldly collective that carries his name. His project, Nahko and Medicine for the People, is one that nurtures a mission and delivers a message.

Born in Portland, Bear’s Puerto Rican, Apache and Filipino roots inform his music with a fusion of mixed cultural influences. His calling is advocacy through socially and environmentally conscious lyrics that swell into sing-alongs. The six-piece band performs its blend of rock, hip-hop and folk live, where band members’ contributions on the horn, violin and kora elevate the experience.

Releasing his third full-length album this past June, "HOKA" is a Native American word from the Lakota nation. “It is a call to action,” Bear explains. “It’s what Crazy Horse would say when he went into battle.”

Nahko Bear returns to his home state with an all-ages performance at the Midtown Ballroom, 10/18.

And although he’s left the wet, mossy forests of western Oregon for the sunnier shores of California, “I am rooted in Cascadia’s magic,” he says, “but serve and protect many mountains and rivers across Native America and beyond.” Yet, he still “relishes the waters and forests of my home state and find pride in defending its sacred places.” And as he makes his way to Central Oregon, he’s always excited to find a “solid community and interaction” with crowds there.

INNOVATION IN CENTRAL OREGON @BBBbusiness

2016 BND DSGN CON FE AT URED SPE AKERS BND DSGN CON speakers are not defined by their titles or accomplishments, but by a pursuit of creative excellence. Whether architect, developer, writer or entrepreneur, each speaker will inspire us with their commitment to ideas, innovation, and curiosity.

At BND DSGN CON, we share a belief that creativity is a vital resource that is amplified by the exchange of ideas that naturally occurs when you spend two days with engaging people who share a desire to learn and connect.

Each person that attends BND DSGN CON is part of this experience. This year, we are introducing Hosted Conversations and Meet Ups to our program—new opportunities for connections and discussions around focused topics. Our returning Mash Ups are chances for attendees to meet our speakers with informal conversations at creative businesses in downtown Bend.

The following are a few of our featured speakers; for a complete list of speakers and the full conference schedule, please visit benddesign.org.

NEWS ARTS ENTERTAINMENT OPINION DESIGN

John C Jay | Creativity and Inspiration | Fast Retail and Studio J No Creativity. No Life.

FREE | EVERY THURSDAY bendsource.com

Innovation, new ideas fueled by technology and social change will determine who will lead us into the next revolution. It is not the size of the brand, company or organization but the depth of one’s thinking and ability to make ideas into reality.

As with brands, small cities and communities can compete with the biggest and the best if they build their own network of top talent. Creativity is not a luxury or an expense. It is the catalyst for our future. It is about survival. Without it, you merely exist. For now.

Ashley Shaffer | Citizen Centered Design | IDEO Design & Government: How can governments be more citizen-centered?

Around the world, our governments are looking for better ways to help citizens become more healthy, more informed, and more resilient. At IDEO, we approach these challenges with a human-centered lens — reframing citizens as customers.

How can we design a voting system that’s intuitive and equitable for everyone?

How can a website serve the needs of every resident? How can a public school cafeteria build new eating rituals? Stories of citizen-centered design at work.

Victor Saad | Experiential Design | Experience Institute The Future of Work It’s no secret that the way we work and learn is changing. Navigating those changes can seem daunting. But it’s also a chance for us to reimagine how to engage the world and grow in our craft. Join us as we explore and prepare for shifts in modern work and look beyond the traditional rhythms of vocation and industry.

Ann Friedman | Media | NYMag.com and Call Your Girlfriend Podcast Follow Your Bliss. Then What?

If you know what we speak, email us for a chance to win a $50 gift card of your choice.

Most of us have been told to “do what you love” at some point. But it’s really not that simple. There are downsides to monetizing your creative work—and upsides to keeping your art for yourself. How do you design a (work) life that balances doing what you enjoy with the realities of needing to make money?

This workshop will analyze current affairs and work towards crafting solutions to society’s most pressing needs in an effort to improve the world around us through design.

This fun and interactive workshop introduces the basics of ethnographic research through hands-on activities designed to amplify listening and observation skills as well as develop increased capacity for empathy and super-powered insight.

Downtown Bend gets a new art retailer and gallery CTC’s “In the Next Room” has audiences abuzz with the backstory about the early days of the vibrator–but that’s just the tip of this surprisingly deep play. Natalia Hernandez, left, and Paige Pulaski perform in the play. Photo by Bill Alsdurf.

T

here are some plays where it’s very easy to know exactly what you’re going to get going into them. If it’s a farce you know you’re going to get some broad belly laughs and a goofy, convoluted story. But with Sara Ruhl’s “In the Next Room”—known less formally as The Vibrator Play, everything I knew about the show contradicted itself.

I knew the show was focused on the early days of the vibrator and that it also was nominated for three Tony Awards, a Drama Desk award and the Pulitzer Prize. Going into it, I expected something more like a broad comedy that had some heavy thematic weight, but instead got one of the finest theatrical productions I have seen in a long time.

The show takes place in a spa town in the late 18th century during the dawn of electricity. Catherine Givings lives with her husband, Dr. Givings, in their beautiful palatial estate, where he also treats women (and a man or two) for hysteria. He does this by using a giant, newfangled vibrator to give them orgasms, under the scientific premise that he is releasing pent-up fluid from their wombs.

Catherine Givings has a newborn child and can’t produce enough milk for the baby. She becomes more lonely and depressed as her child grows attached to the wet nurse more than its own mother. She sees women (and a male artist) come out of her husband’s operating theater in the next room lighter and happier than they were upon arrival. She begins to wonder why her husband can help others with their “hysteria,” but leaves his wife to become more agitated,

upset and alone.

While there are a few huge laughs throughout the show, the humor is darker than I expected. Each character in the show is unhappy in his or her own way and the humor is borne out of that darkness and depression.

It’s comedy that comes out of tragedy and sadness, which can sometimes be the most profound way we’re allowed to laugh in the theater. I found myself wondering several times whether laughing as loudly as I wanted to would make me a bad person.

There’s so much going on with this show it’s hard to even know where to start. There’s a focus on sex positivity and exploration of the senses. There’s a subplot about motherhood and the mental gymnastics we employ to keep ourselves happy. A huge piece of the play is about loneliness, loss and isolation as we move through life trying to put one foot in front of the other. All of these big ideas never feel at war with each other, but instead make every encounter between characters fraught with meaning and importance.

Prairie Cletas Emrich is astounding as Catherine Givings. She modulates the performance in such a way that the audience can see her start the show as someone unaccustomed to focusing on her own internal struggles. We then follow her through every possible stage of emotion. This could have been a histrionic performance filled with grand, sweeping gestures and breast beating depression, but instead Emrich finds a warm center to act from and gives every word its own importance.

Makenzie Whittle is also wonder-

ful as Sabrina Daldry, one of the good doctor’s patients. She comes into his office in a black veil, too upset to live and leaves with rosy cheeks and a giggling new lease on life. Whittle makes this transformation not only believable but stunning to watch.

David DaCosta puts a subtle grace into Dr. Givings. Bruce Moon adds a slimy charm to Mr. Daldry. Christine Thompson manifests exquisite heartbreak as Annie, the doctor’s assistant.

John Cobbs has charisma to spare as the artist Leo Irving. As good as they all are, it’s A. Lynn Jesus who broke my heart as the wet nurse Elizabeth.

Elizabeth has just lost a child, so she has milk to spare and no child to give it to. Late in the play she has a monologue about her loss and how she lives and moves past it. It absolutely wrecked me. It’s beautifully written, superbly acted and one of the finest moments I’ve seen on stage for quite some time.

“In the Next Room” is a play that demands to be seen. It is a wonderful piece of theater, from director Sandy Silver’s impeccable staging to Shawn Akacich’s beautiful and sumptuous costumes. Gary Loddo’s set, combined with Kelley Ryan’s dressing, took my breath away. A play can only be as good as its weakest link and this chain shows no sign of wear. It’s a transportive and important night of theater that will be remembered for years to come. SW "In the Next Room" (or The Vibrator Play) Oct. 7-22, 7:30pm. 2pm on Sundays.

Calling all artists who are tired of shopping for supplies at stores with high prices and no variety of artist materials: You have a new option. Layor Art + Supply is a brand new local retailer in Bend, carrying premium art supplies at affordable prices, offering classes and community events and showcasing the work of local Bend artists.

It’s about time artists are offered a onestop shop where they can find an array of basic to high-end supplies. That includes fine art paint, aerosols, clays, pastels, photography supplies, children’s art supplies and much more.

The shop is located downtown across the street from Silverado, right next to Patagonia at 1000 Wall St. in Bend. Artists will not only find an assortment of premium art supplies but also a gallery featuring work from local artists.

“I believe that every town should have a dedicated art store,” says Lacey Morris, founder of Layor. “It’s a place to be inspired, where people in the community can talk about all things art.”

Morris hopes to cultivate the community of artists and said she is not interested in taking huge commissions from artists.

Instead, she want artists to feel excited about showcasing their work at Layor.

“I wanted to include a gallery, but I like to think of it more as a “Community Art Wall,” said Morris.

In the near future, patrons can look forward to a variety of art classes and community art events. SW

By Annette Benedetti 27 ing alongside an Ethiopian surgeon who asked him if he knew anything about autism. It turned out both men had children with autism.

During his next trip to Ethiopia the same man approached him and asked if he would help start a school for children with autism. “I said if you get the school together and organize it so it’s legal in Ethiopia, then we will bring the teachers and the material,” says Koning. “Now the school is completely independent and has 55 students.” To date, RAF has started the third of five planned autism centers.

Koning’s expertise as a trauma surgeon also brought him to the Myungsung Christian Medical Center and the Addis Ababa University hospital, where he worked with Ethiopia’s neurosurgeons and discovered that services for treating babies with hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and spina bifida were desperately needed.

or many people, retirement means hunkering down with family and spending long afternoons fishing or traveling to places they’ve always dreamed of seeing. For ReachAnother Foundation’s (RAF) Founder and Board President Marinus H. Koning, MD, FACS, it meant working even harder to improve the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable citizens.

In 2008, Koning retired from his surgical practice in Bend. Over the course of 30 years his accomplishments included helping found Hospice of Redmond and Sisters and co-founding the Rising Stars Preschool for Developmentally Disabled Children in Redmond. Instead of taking some well deserved down time, he went to Ethiopia on a humanitarian mission where he worked in a hospital and discovered the large population of people who were severely medically underserved.

In an effort to make a difference, Koning founded RAF in 2009 with the mission of bettering the lives of the poorest people in the world by

"Bend, Oregon Daycations" features trips the whole family can handle

B

end-based Kim Cooper Findling is an award-winning travel writer and editor who recently came out with her third book, “Bend, Oregon Daycations: Day Trips for Curious Families.”

The Source Weekly sat down with the author to talk shop.

Source Weekly: What’s the inspiration for this book? Who’s it for?

Kim Cooper Findling: I’ve been traveling with my two daughters since they were born. My career grew up with them, and so I’ve taken them all of these places and so that’s the way I experienced it and that’s the way I wrote it. It’s more of a family-oriented narrative: where you can

go with kids. I saw it as intergenerational, definitely what you can do when your parents are in town, your sister with her kids, or that sort of thing, what you can do that’s not that terrifying or challenging, doesn’t need a lot of gear, but just to get out and explore, and just feel comfortable doing that.

SW: In the first chapter on Smith Rock, you dive right into a story of a friend who visited there while on magic mushrooms. What motivated you to make that bold move?

KCF: I wasn’t trying to be titillating, just that I do believe that anecdote

speaks to the fact that Smith is kind of a spiritual place for people, and it has that sort of aura of being mystical. So, I left it in. Hopefully that was a good decision.

SW: There’s been a lot of talk about overcrowding at some of the area’s popular spots– some which you include in your book–and “loving them to death.” What do you make of that?

KCF: I think that I’ve seen some good responses in town lately of people talking about not just pointing fingers at other people, but taking responsibility: ‘This is where we

live, what can we do to really be proactive about protecting places.’

Even though Oregon has become so destination-popular, there’s a lot of smaller, out of the way places that are like, ‘Me! Me! We need more people here!’ So maybe that’s one thing, is sort of bringing awareness as a travel writer. I can bring awareness to some of the places that are still hungry for visitors.

The Great American Beer Festival took place Oct. 6-8 in Denver.

Local breweries take gold at the Great American Beer Festival

Smith Rock serves as the backdrop for the upcoming French-inspired dinner benefiting Heart of Oregon Corps.

T

here’s been quite a bit written lately about Smith Rock. Most of that writing has been about the overcrowding and the long wait—so it’s easy to forget why the site is so popular in the first place. As Central Oregonians, we know how beautiful and downright majestic Smith Rock is, so obviously people from all over the world are going to come here to see the splendor with their own eyes.

The Farm to Fork Dinner: Sunset at Smith Rock aims to give Central Oregonians a different way to view Smith Rock, while also raising funds for a nonprofit that deserves it: the Heart of Oregon Corps.

Asperion Management Group is hosting the event in the Ranch at the Canyons.

Founder and CEO of AMG, Katie Anderson, explains more. “One of the greatest struggles in Central Oregon today is finding qualified employees.

As the soft skill gap continues to grow, Asperion Management Group has been looking for solutions and an organization that could use support.

Our team did not have to look far to find a nonprofit that fit this mold.

Heart of Oregon Corps was founded in 2000 by three Central Oregon change-makers and hires/trains over 300 local youth every year.”

With her farm connections from growing up in Powell Butte combined with her relationship with Heart of Oregon and Ranch in the Canyon, the Farm to Fork Dinner was born. “Our goal is to raise $10,000 for Heart of Oregon Corps Fleet for the Future

campaign and we are on target to hit that and more,” says Anderson.

The menu from chefs Matthew Johnson (Pig Sauce Company) and Corey Whalen (One Street Down Cafe) aims to impress. “The menu for this event is Alsatian,” says Johnson.

“The region in the Alps that borders France and Germany. Choucroute Garni features a variety of smoked pork and sausages nestled in French style sauerkraut along with steamed potatoes and are considered the ‘National Dish of Alsace.’ In addition, we will be featuring Tarte Flambee, or sometimes called Flammekueche.

This is a flatbread crust topped with crème fraiche seasoned with nutmeg, sautéed onions and lardon. Both of these dishes have variations which we will be serving as well. Wines such as dry Rieslings, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noirs pair exceptionally well to the rich comfort foods we will be serving,” Johnson adds.

Since the event is called “Farm to Fork,” the food sourcing is obviously local, with some of Central Oregon’s finest farms making a showing at the table. “We are sourcing many of our fruits, vegetables, cheeses and all of our proteins from Central Oregon farms,” says Johnson. “Dancing Cow Farm is our primary source for all things pork. Jerre Kosta raises amazing Tamworth pigs as well as Jacob Sheep on her farm. Bluestone Farm produces the goats milk products, including feta cheese, butter and mozzarella. Angels Rest Farm is where we sourced our organic chickens.

When it comes to bastions of beer culture, Oregon definitely represents. We already know it to be true, but some validation from the outside world never hurts.

This past weekend, 21 medals went to Oregon breweries during the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Here’s a brief recap of some of the local winners.

Local Winners

Most of our produce comes from Dancing Cow Farm as well.”

Johnson paired the meal with the location, as the Ranch at the Canyons isn’t just a gated community, but also an actual working ranch. “I had visited the event location a few times to get the feel for the event night,” says Johnson. “The feel of the home with high ceilings, oversize fireplace and stuffed animal heads really reminded me of the time I lived in France and would travel to the Alps in the winter time. Once we had decided on smoking a Tamworth Pig for our main course for the Farm to Fork, the rest of the meal came together with my passion for all things French.”

With the decadence of the meal and the Ranch at the Canyons, it is easy to forget the natural majesty of Smith Rock. “I think the thing that people forget about this area,” says Anderson, “is all that it has to offer, not only the amazing hiking, fishing and camping but this area is also a thriving agricultural area. We are blessed with communities like Ranch at the Canyons that allows owners to live in this beautiful area while still maintaining that agricultural history of the original land.” SW Farm to Fork Dinner: Sunset at Smith Rock Sunday, Oct. 15, 5pm Ranch at the Canyons, 11050 NE Vineyard Way, Terrebonne $85

Kobold Brewing’s founder Steve Anderson shows off the goods at his production facility in Bend.

W

hen Steve Anderson retired from his career with the Federal Aviation Administration, he knew what he was looking to do next.

“I worked for 26 years in air traffic,” he said, “looking at a radar scope. When I left, I figured I’d run my own business of some sort. I wanted to follow a passion, and I got passionate about brewing. It was a good way to fulfill my soul.”

That passion eventually led to Kobold Brewing, a production brewery run entirely by Steve (his wife Heather handles business operations) in a facility he built up from his garage on Bend’s west side. Prior to that, he was active with the Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization for several years, winning the Best of Show award at its 2015 Spring Fling competition with the beer that now goes by the name Kobalos CDA. Since its official debut last December, Kobold has shown up in a dozen or so places in Bend and Redmond, including White Water Taphouse, The Lot, the two Growler Guys locations, and Baldy’s BBQ, where Kobold’s offerings include a special house red.

That’s just one of the 14 beers Anderson has released from his two-barrel production facility, purchased from Stout Tanks in Portland. Other high-

lights include Kobalos, the Oathbreaker Baltic porter that offers just a bit of chocolate and coffee in the background, and the fresh-hop IPA that’s still available at a few locations.

One thing that turns Anderson on about brewing compared to the FAA: Real industry fraternity. “People in the brewing industry are amazing supporters,” he said. “I get excellent support from places like Bend Brewing and Bridge 99; they’ll come here, try new beers, and chat with me about recipes.

People are really open in this business, and that’s something I’ve seen the whole time I’ve been doing this.”

Of course, it’s the fate of any successful nano-brewery that if it's that successful, it won't stay nano for too long. Look at Monkless Belgian Ales, another outfit that began in a basement in northwest Bend and launched its new 10-barrel brewing facility a week and a half ago. “When my wife and I first opened this place, we figured we’d wait about a year and then decide what Phase 2 is,” Anderson commented. “Right now, we’re actively searching for a place to build a tasting room. That will be coming in the spring or summer of 2017, and that’s the logical next step for a place like us, to go up to the next level in scale.” SW

Born Into This

"The Birth of A Nation" divides

By Jared Rasic 33 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 41 / October 13, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation” is a powerful yell into this country’s face.

T

here is no real way to talk about Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation” without first addressing some of the controversy surrounding it. Parker co-wrote, co-produced, starred and directed the film (about Nat Turner’s slave rebellion in 1831), appropriating the title from D.W. Griffith’s 1915 Ku Klux Klan propaganda film. The original film is widely considered to be Hollywood’s first “blockbuster” and promoted a resurgence of the hate group.

Parker had a fellowship through the Sundance Institute and began working on the screenplay for the film back in 2009. For years he was told that a film about the Nat Turner slave uprising wouldn’t be produced because movies with black leads don’t play well internationally and because the story of Turner himself was too controversial.

In 2013, Parker invested $100,000 of his own money to hire a production designer and scout locations, eventually securing enough of the $10 million budget to begin production in earnest. When the film finally premiered at Sundance, it was greeted

with a standing ovation before a single frame of the movie was projected.

The hype on this movie has been deafening ever since.

In August, it came to light that there were rape charges against Parker (and his co-writer Jean McGianni Celestin) from 1999. Parker was acquitted in 2001 and Celestin’s conviction was eventually overturned.

The accuser committed suicide in 2012.

Once this came to light, the conversation about the film changed.

Instead of it being a film that could inspire change about race and systemic oppression, it became another flag along the path of a rape culture that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. Especially during this election cycle with a presidential candidate who not only promotes rape culture but has been a large part of it for decades, there is another conversation that’s being had about gender, equality and the systemic oppression of women.

The film is only decent, with excellent performances by Parker, Armie Hammer as his owner and Aja Naomi "The Birth of a Nation" Dir. Nate Parker Grade: B Now playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

King as the love of his life, Cherry.

But there’s nothing in the film that raises it above a typical biopic—other than the fact that it’s an important story that needed to be told. There are scenes of uncommon power and brilliance surrounded by flat moments a more seasoned director could have made sing.

The message of the film is stronger than its execution and if it inspires real discussion and change surrounding topics of racism, rape culture and systemic oppression of women and people of color, then it should be seen based on those merits alone.

Separating the art from the artist can be difficult, however, especially when it comes to filmmakers like Woody Allen and Roman Polanski—so there’s no right side when it comes to viewing Nate Parker’s “The Birth Of A Nation.”

Can we support an accused rapist’s film about slavery and oppression without supporting rape culture?

There are no easy answers, only more difficult questions. Maybe we just have to take some solace that they’re even being asked in the first place. SW

DEEPWATER HORIZON: A disaster film disguised as an action movie ripped from the headlines. The film—based on the story of a drilling rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico— avoids most of the political implications and just focuses on regular people making heroic choices to save lives. While there is something strange about a true-life tragic disaster being turned into 90 minutes of Mark Wahlberg running from explosions, the film is also undeniably entertaining.

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

LONDON ROAD: “London Road” is a musical mystery thriller based on the National Theatre musical of the same name. It is based on interviews about Steve Wright, an English serial killer who murdered at least five sex workers in Suffolk. While this might sound like a weird setup for a musical, this is one of the most memorable films of the year. Tin Pan Theater

MASTERMINDS: Due to financial issues Relativity Media was going through, “Masterminds” has been pushed forward several times from its initial release date of August 2015.

This comedy/heist flick has been released to lukewarm reviews, but with Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Jason Sudeikis in the cast, it should at least be worth a spin. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN: Tim Burton takes on another group of misunderstood loners in this adaptation of the 2011 YA novel by Ransom Riggs. While the film has a few amazing visuals and some gorgeous cinematography, the pacing, script and direction are all over the place. There are several good aspects to the film, but not enough to make for a solid recommendation. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MISS SHARON JONES!: A documentary about funk and soul singer Sharon Jones.

Jones didn't even release her first album until she was 40, so the doc focuses on her long road to eventual breakout success. This is an

absolute crowd-pleaser, big hearted and warm throughout. She has toured with Phish, Lou Reed, David Byrne and Michael Buble, and is widely considered to be the female James Brown. Tin Pan Theater

QUEEN OF KATWE: Even though Disney puts out at least one underdog sports movie a year, they have the formula down so perfectly that's it's almost impossible not to love them.

This one tells the story of Phiona Mutesi, a Ugandan chess prodigy who competes in the World Chess Olympiads. While watching people play chess isn't as exciting as, say, hockey, watching the strategy and intensity of the mental battle should be plenty intense. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

STORKS: It's hard to tell whether this new animated film exists so parents have an easier way to describe the birds and the bees to their children or whether it helps with avoidance altogether. The film follows the winged employees of Cornerstore, a company that used to deliver babies and now is more of a postal service. When a baby accidentally gets dropped off with the storks, a few birds and a human girl must bring the child to its proper home. 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 BIRTH OF A NATION: The controversial film from a controversial director about a controversial slave revolt in the South. The story of Nat Turner is an important one to tell and the film has a few moments of such quiet power that it's easy to overlook some of its technical problems. Nate Parker tackles incredibly powerful and important themes with the film, but his inexperience as a filmmaker is evident throughout. Still, the film deserves to be seen by as many people as possible, just so this portion of our nation's awful and troubled history is never forgotten. See full review on p.

33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN: Everyone you know was reading the book and so you read it too. It was pretty good. It's no “Gone Girl,” but the pulpy, mysterious melodrama made the pages go down easy. The film follows the book almost exactly, so if you're after the story of an alcoholic woman trying to piece together the events of a blackout, then you're in luck. There's no intensity, surprise or excitement involved, but you got that from the book already. See full review on p. 35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN: As sick as we are of remakes, reboots and re-imaginings, this new iteration of “The Magnificent Seven” (which is itself a retelling of “Seven Samurai”) actually looks pretty fun. Even if the plot is recycled, teaming Denzel Washington up with Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio and Lee Byung-hun to fight a weaselly Peter Sarsgaard can only lead to excitement. With a script co-written by “True Detective's” Nic Pizzolatto, consider us cautiously optimistic.

Midnight Train to Nowhere "The Girl on the Train" is off the tracks

By Jared Rasic 35 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 41 / October 13, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

“T

he Girl on the Train” is one of those books that everyone calls a “beach read.” Your brain doesn’t have to be 100 percent invested in what’s happening and the mystery is just fascinating enough to keep you turning the pages long after it’s time for bed.

“The Girl on the Train” tells the story of three women. The first is Rachel Watson, an alcoholic woman slowly circling the drain as she reaches her rock bottom. After her husband cheated on her and left her for their realtor, she lost her job and fell deeper into the bottle. She used to commute from the New York suburbs into Manhattan for her job each day, but still rides the train anyway as she likes looking at a mysterious married couple whose house is along the tracks.

The second is Megan Hipwell, the married woman who lives by the train tracks. She’s bored and listless; she’s looking for something to give her life meaning that isn’t her husband Scott or starting a family.

The third woman is Anna Watson, Rachel’s ex-husband’s new wife who has a young infant.

Rachel wakes one morning after a particularly drunken bender covered in blood with only the fragment of a memory of seeing Megan and yelling at her the night before. Now Megan is missing and Rachel has to piece together the missing hours, for her own sanity and to discover whether she has it in her to be a murderer.

The book builds on this mystery very nicely, making all three women

Emily Blunt watches the good reviews go sailing by.

sympathetic and flawed, while putting them in a situation intense enough to warrant the label of “page-turner.”

When the killer is revealed and the final, bloody confrontation ensues, it feels like the perfect payoff to the character-driven story that came before.

Emily Blunt is astounding as Rachel. She brings such a broken and haunted depression to Rachel that even when she’s being her belligerent worst, the audience empathizes with her situation. Blunt looks haggard and dirty the entire film, crafting a performance without ego that also avoids the trappings of being showy awards bait.

Still, the film doesn’t do her charac-

ter and performance justice. The script

by Erin Cressida Williams follows the book quite closely other than changing the location from the UK to New York and shrinking and expanding some of the roles from the novel. The effect of this is to create no real surprise for people who also read the novel. Everything happens just as it plays out in the book, leaving those familiar with the written version just waiting for certain plot points to happen instead of being sucked into the story.

Director Tate Taylor is great with the actors and setting the tone, but fails miserably with tension. When the killer is revealed and the final fight occurs, it’s so muted as to feel inevi-

table more than shocking. The film builds nicely just like the novel does, but ends with as much impact as the air being slowly let out of a balloon.

If you enjoyed the novel and want to see how great actors breathe life into the characters, then go for it, but as a thriller it just doesn’t work.

There’s nothing thrilling, no intensity and (performances aside) just feels like a way to kill a few hours. If that’s all you’re after, read the book instead. SW "The Girl On the Train" Dir. Tate Taylor Grade: D Now playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Want to make urban traveling easier and more enjoyable? There's definitely an app for that. Photo by Russ Axon.

I

f there’s one thing I’ve learned writing for this section over the last few months, it’s that there’s no shortage of places to see and things to do in Central Oregon. But I’ve also realized that there are some things the West Coast can’t offer me.

I’m originally from Ohio, and despite popular belief, the Midwest isn’t just flat farmland for miles and miles. OK, that’s definitely a large percentage of it.

Like many people, the desire to briefly return to my roots grows stronger as the holidays approach.

That means traveling. The word alone can jumpstart a migraine, bringing to mind stressors like traffic, flight delays, baggage fees, strangers crowding your every move, etc.

Still, I have learned that traveling, whether it’s to a bustling airport or a secluded forest, requires many of the same skills and planning. And the best way to tackle the urban landscape may be to approach it like I do the wild landscape. Could the tricks I’ve learned exploring the outdoors around Bend apply to my cross-country travels? I put some to the test on a recent visit home.

Planning Ahead Everyone has their own personal formula for planning a visit to Crater Lake or an excursion to Smith Rock: Factor in the weather, the crowds, the terrain, the travel time, what activities

you want to do, how long you’ll be there and so on. Many people claim to have a similar algorithm when it comes to booking plane tickets: Buy tickets at least two months out from your flight, leave on a Thursday, fly back on a Tuesday, arrive three hours ahead of time, never fly Spirit.

The common thread of advice stringing that list together would read something like, “Plan ahead.”

It’s common sense, but like most common sense it can be overlooked because it’s so obvious, usually by lazy people like myself.

I used to be the guy who would book a flight a week out from my departure date, pack the night before, and figure out how I was getting to the airport the morning of. (This usually involved waking up an increasingly irate friend, or paying for an increasingly expensive taxi ride.)

While last-minute trips still occasionally pop up, I’ve improved my preparation skills. Apps like Hipmunk, Hopper and Skyscanner are a big help. Just plug in your travel dates and locations, and these apps will provide available flights from numerous airline and travel sites. You can filter the options by price, airline and time. Best of all, these apps will anticipate the fluctuation in ticket prices, warning you when to wait or alerting you to buy.

They work best the earlier you use them, but can also come through in a

pinch. My recent trip was unexpected, but using these apps, I was able to book a round-trip flight for only $180.

Exploring the Terrain Using my phone’s GPS and maps make both hiking the Deschutes Forest and navigating Portland’s streets infinitely simpler. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks makes the downtime bearable. And new modes of transportation have changed the way people explore the world.

One of my favorite features of Mt. Bachelor is all the different ways I can experience it; hiking during the spring, mountain biking during the summer, climbing during the fall, and snowboarding during the winter.

Cities provide the same opportunity year-round. While it’s certainly more convenient to drive around in a car, instead I traveled around Portland via feet, bus, metro train and Uber, all for less than $10. It was fun to see parts of the city I otherwise would’ve missed by sticking to one mode of transportation.

And I think that idea best sums up my experience: where I once looked at traveling as an arduous debacle, I now treat it as just another adventure. There are definitely fewer trees and tents, more tickets and fast food stops. But it’s still another chance to explore and learn about the world around me. SW

Fall has arrived and with it piles of pumpkins in the grocery stores, but where’s the fun in that? Celebrate fall by visiting one—or both—of the great pumpkin patches Central Oregon has to offer. Smith Rock Ranch has amusement for all ages with an intricate corn maze (Batman-themed this year), seasonal produce, pumpkins as far as the eye can see and the infamous pumpkin cannon.

Smith Rock Ranch is open through Oct. 30 (closed on Mondays), from noon6pm on weekdays and 10am-6pm on weekends. The Ranch has no admission charge and is located at 1250 NE Wilcox Ave., Terrebonne.

For the younger crowd, DD Ranch gives an old-fashioned experience with pony rides, petting zoo, pumpkin picking— complete with a red wagon to pull it in– face painting and more. The Ranch also offers faire games including balloon darts, an air gun range, ring the bottle and archery. Plus, parents can pick something up for dinner as DD Ranch sells grass-finished beef that is raised on site. There’s no admission charge, and it’s open Saturday and Sunday from 10am-5pm at 2836 NE Smith Rock Way, Terrebonne.

Deschutes River FLOWtilla The Coalition for the Deschutes is organizing a rally Saturday, Oct. 15, in support of restoring healthy flows to the Deschutes River. (Want more reasons to support the cause? See this week’s feature story, “Fish Rescue.”) This family-friendly event welcomes kayaks, canoes, SUPs and more to paddle through the Old Mill area, while those without access to a water device are welcome to gather along the side. With local Americana trio Appaloosa performing, this should be a fun-filled day showing support and learning more about the health of the Deschutes River. FLOWtilla is from 2-4pm and begins at Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe, 805 SW Industrial Way Suite 6, Bend. SW

The mystery of the Big Men of the Mountains

By Jim Anderson

them return, but not that night!

He bolted from the longhouse and was gone!

I got all the kids and parents into the Space Cruiser and trotted over to the house, where Lelooska’s mother Mary met me at the door. “Where’s Lelooska?” I asked her. She said, “I think he’s in the closet in the back of the house; as he went by me he shouted, “I made a mistake with the frog woman story! The frogs are all mad at me! Listen to them!”

“Yep, they’re making quite a ruckus,’” I said, asking, “May I go talk to him?”

“Someone should,” she said, placing her hands over her ears.

I found Lelooska in the closet and spoke to him.”Go away!!” he shouted, “I made a mistake and the frogs are all mad at me!”

I thought about that for a moment and then said, “Chief, I think you’re not interpreting this correctly. I don’t think the frogs are mad at you; they’re thanking you.”

It’s a good thing I wasn’t standing near the closet door, for it suddenly banged open and every ounce of that magnificent 400-pound man strutted forth from the closet, shouting, “Mother! Do you hear the frogs?

They’re thanking me!”

The Bigfoot Angle One Thanksgiving my family and I were having a great visit involving delicious elk and wonderful Indian games with Lelooska and his family, we got into a discussion about the “Big Men of the Mountains,” as he called the creature(s) we call “Bigfoot.”

Chief Lelooska, one of the finest carvers and storytellers of this era, and guardian of my home.

I kinda scoffed at the idea and Don (Lelooska’s real name was Don Smith) went to the front door of his home, yanked it open, turned toward Mt. St. Helens and shouted—as only Chief Lelooska could shout— "Oh, Big Men of the mountains, please don’t listen to this foolish boy, I believe in you! I know you’re there! Please don’t come down and pull my house posts over again!”

Then he came back into the kitchen, slid up close to me and said, “You watch birds, don’t you?”

I affirmed that I did, and then he added, “and you’ve heard them singing at night, haven’t you?” I assured him I had, and then gripping my arm, he whispered, “Those are not birds... those are the Big People of the Mountains...that’s the way they communicate,” and he left the table.

About that time my brand new son, Dean, got to fussing, so I put him into one of those new fancy backpacks for little ones, and headed up through the clear cut on the other side of the road

from the longhouse and Don’s home.

Dean was asleep by the time I got about a quarter-mile up the hill, so I sat down on one of the stumps to enjoy the quiet view of Cougar Reservoir.

Then, right behind me I heard (what I thought was) a couple of chirping juncos complaining about my waking them up.

The hair on the back of my head stood straight out and a very uncomfortable feeling came over me, and without hesitation I got off the stump and headed down through the clear cut for the house—at a faster pace than I would have normally.

As I came flying though the front door, Don was standing there watching me as I closed it, and as I turned around, he got a silly little grin on his face and whispered, “You heard them didn’t you?” and strutted off.

So, do I believe in Bigfoot, or as my dear old pal, Chief Lelooska knew them, The Big Men of the Mountains. Well…maybe. SW

y old pal and fellow eagle researcher, Frank Isaacs, recently sent me a Bigfoot news release that reminded me of that fabled beast of mountains and forest, and an experience worth sharing.

Back in the '60s my young family and I often were a presence in the life and home of Chief Lelooska, a man of Cherokee descent renowned for his deep knowledge and promotion of Native culture. At least three Friday nights in a month I’d take a bunch of K-8 kids and a few parents in the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry bus, named the Space Cruiser, to the Laeooska longhouse in Aerial,Wash., where we’d witness and enjoy Lelooska’s stories about the Northwest people’s traditions. To say Chief Lelooska was good at it would be a gross understatement!

Chief Lelooska was good at everything he put his hands, mind and voice to. I can recall one especially exciting night in the longhouse, as the shaman started the fire ring by shaking his rattle at it, and Lelooska’s hulking little brother, Smitty, carried out his frightening grizzly bear dance around the fire ring. Lelooska himself stood by the magnificent head board he carved, beating on his ceremonial drum, which he also created, preparing to tell the story of the “Frog Woman.”

It’s one of the more frightening traditional stories of the Nuxalk, or Bella Coola people. When he was finished, all the frogs in the pond below the longhouse suddenly began to shout, their croaking deafening. Usually Chief Lelooska said goodnight to all his guests and bade

Do Presidential Elections Affect Housing Prices?

W

rest of the nation during election years due to changes in leadership—which would increase demand for housing that exceeds the available supply and therefore put upward pressure on prices. That seems to be the case in D.C., but nationwide the effect is minimal.

Research indicates that people are often stressed and feel a sense of uncertainty about elections and therefore tend to postpone purchases and other major decisions. If anything, this uncertainty has a downward effect on housing prices, thereby making it a good time to buy. The other good news is that any changes made by a new president will not really affect things for the first year which is typically a “window year.”

This is when adjustments are planned and new policies are implemented that are typically not effective until the following year.

Overall, election years are a good time for buyers, but perhaps slightly less good for sellers.

hen it comes to presidential elections, the prevailing wisdom seems to be that you should wait until after the election to purchase a home. As a realtor, I have heard this a few times. Each time I questioned the person to explain the basis of their opinion, they were only able to say that they heard it somewhere. I did some research on the effect of presidential elections on housing, not finding anything to support postponing the purchase of a home. In fact, it's my feeling that it's a good time to buy.

Based on my research there's only a slight correlation between real estate values and presidential election years. Currently, our interest rates are lower and the economy is better.

According to a report by Greenfield Advisors from March 2016, the overall trend during election years has been that prices rise 1.5 percent less in an election year than in the prior year. It would be understandable that Washington, D.C., would be unique to the

his November, more Americans will vote on the question of legalizing cannabis than ever before. Voters in five states will vote on so-called recreational use, and voters in another four states will vote on medical marijuana. Recreational use is currently legal in four states, and medical use is legal in 25 states. The District of Columbia also has legalized both recreational and medical use.

In state after state, advocates for legalization are raising vastly more cash and are far better organized. In all of the states voting this fall, polls show the legalization side ahead or the vote very close. Though no one expects a clean sweep for legalization this fall, there are signs that many Republicans and other conservatives have given up on their war on cannabis.

Even Donald Drumpf has indicated support for medical marijuana and for states setting their own policies on cannabis.

In some states, such as California, there is no broad-based conservative opposition coalition fighting legalization as there has been in the past.

That’s because there are now as many millennial voters as there are baby boomer voters, and millennial voters are over their parents’ prohibitionist policies. A recent Pew Research Center poll showed nearly 80 percent of millennial Democrats and even 66 percent of millennial Republicans support complete legalization of cannabis.

Now that conservative politicians seem to have abandoned the prohibitionist cause, afraid of alienating millennial voters, the only active remaining legalization opponents remaining are those who want to continue to profit from the status quo.

Big pharmaceutical companies, alcohol companies, private prison corporations, and police unions are now all the biggest contributors to anti-legalization efforts.

For example, Corrections Corporation of America profits from the government putting cannabis users in prison. It describes itself as “the fifth-largest corrections system in

the nation, behind only the federal government and three states.” And it is worried that too much freedom to use cannabis will affect its bottom line, writing that “changes with respect to drugs … could affect (read: reduce) the number of persons arrested, convicted, and sentenced, thereby potentially reducing demand for correctional facilities to house them.”

How worried about cannabis legalization is Corrections Corporations of America? So worried that it spends nearly $1 million each year on lobbying efforts. Such intensive lobbying of elected officials shows why all cannabis legalization in the U.S. so far has come directly from voters rather than from elected officials.

And in the legal drug business, for example, Purdue Pharma makes OxyContin, and Abbott Laboratories makes Vicodin. These painkillers kill thousands of Americans each year, and their makers know that if people start to use cannabis to treat pain instead, their profits will decline. That is why these companies give big donations to organizations such as Partnership for Drug-Free Kids and Community AntiDrug Coalitions of America, both of which lobby Congress to keep cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug.

At least for now, it seems legalization advocates still have some wellfunded opposition.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): A study published

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the final ten

sage Socrates was a founder of Western philosophy and a seminal champion of critical thinking. And yet he relied on his dreams for crucial information. He was initiated into the esoteric mysteries of love by the prophetess Diotima, and had an intimate relationship with a daimonion, a divine spirit. I propose that we make Socrates your patron saint for the next three weeks. Without abandoning your reliance on logic, make a playful effort to draw helpful clues from non-rational sources, too. (P.S.: Socrates drew oracular revelations from sneezes.

Please consider that outlandish possibility yourself. Be alert, too, for the secret meanings of coughs, burps, grunts, mumbles, and yawns.)

weeks of 2016, your physical and mental health will flourish in direct proportion to how much outworn and unnecessary stuff you flush out of your life between now and October 25. Here are some suggested tasks: 1. Perform a homemade ritual that will enable you to magically shed at least half of your guilt, remorse, and regret. 2. Put on a festive party hat, gather up all the clutter and junk from your home, and drop it off at a thrift store or the dump. 3. Take a vow that you will do everything in your power to kick your attachment to an influence that’s no damn good for you. 4. Scream nonsense curses at the night sky for as long as it takes to purge your sadness and anger about pain that no longer matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A Buddhist monk named Matthieu Ricard had his brain scanned while he meditated. The experiment revealed that the positive emotions whirling around in his gray matter were super-abundant.

Various publications thereafter dubbed him “the happiest person in the world.” Since he’s neither egotistical nor fond of the media’s simplistic sound bites, he’s not happy about that title. I hope you won’t have a similar reaction when I predict that you Sagittarians will be the happiest tribe of the zodiac during the next two weeks. For best results, I suggest you cultivate Ricard’s definitions of happiness: “altruism and compassion, inner freedom (so that you are not the slave of your own thoughts), senses of serenity and fulfillment, resilience, as well as a clear and stable mind that does not distort reality too much.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a perfect moment to launch or refine a project that will generate truth, beauty, and justice. Amazingly enough, now is also an excellent time to lunch or refine a long-term master plan that will make you healthy, wealthy, and wise. Is this a coincidence? Not at all. The astrological omens suggest that your drive to be of noble service dovetails well with your drive for personal success.

For the foreseeable future, unselfish goals are well-aligned with selfish goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Has your world become at least 20 percent larger since September 1? Has your generosity grown to near-heroic proportions? Have your eyes beheld healing sights that were previously invisible to you? Have you lost at least two of your excuses for tolerating scrawny expectations?

Are you awash in the desire to grant forgiveness and amnesty? If you can’t answer yes to at least two of those questions, Aquarius, it means you’re not fully in harmony with your best possible destiny. So get to work! Attune yourself to the cosmic tendencies! And if you are indeed reaping the benefits I mentioned, congratulations—and prepare for even further expansions and liberations.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some astrologers dwell on your tribe’s phobias. They assume that you Pisceans are perversely drawn to fear; that you are addicted to the strong feelings it generates. In an effort to correct this distorted view, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I hereby declare the coming weeks to be a Golden Age for Your Trust in Life. It will be prime time to exult in everything that evokes your joy and excitement. I suggest you make a list of these glories, and keep adding new items to the list every day. Here’s another way to celebrate the Golden Age: Discover and explore previously unknown sources of joy and excitement.

*

in the peer-reviewed Communications Research suggests that only 28 percent of us realize when someone is flirting with us. I hope that figure won’t apply to you Aries in the coming weeks.

According to my analysis of the astrological situation, you will be on the receiving end of more invitations, inquiries, and allurements than usual. The percentage of these that might be worth responding to will also be higher than normal.

Not all of them will be obvious, however. So be extra vigilant.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The ancient Greek

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Helper Experiment, Part One: Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the company of a kind, attentive helper—a person, animal, ancestral spirit, or angel that you either know well or haven’t met yet.

Spend at least five minutes visualizing a scene in which this ally aids you in fulfilling a particular goal. The Helper Experiment, Part Two: Repeat this exercise every day for the next seven days.

Each time, visualize your helper making your life better in some specific way. Now here’s my prediction: Carrying out The Helper Experiment will attract actual support into your real life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): New rules: 1. It’s unimaginable and impossible for you to be obsessed with anything or anyone that’s no good for you. 2. It’s unimaginable and impossible for you to sabotage your stability by indulging in unwarranted fear. 3. It’s imaginable and possible for you to remember the most crucial thing you have forgotten. 4. It’s imaginable and possible for you to replace debilitating self-pity with invigorating self-love and healthy self-care. 5.

It’s imaginable and possible for you to discover a new mother lode of emotional strength.

So I trust you will not indulge in fruitless yearnings for unswerving progress and rock-solid evidence. If your path is not twisty and tricky, it’s probably the wrong path. If your heart isn’t teased and tickled into shedding its dependable formulas, it might be an overly hard heart. Be an improvisational curiosity-seeker. Be a principled player of unpredictable games.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some English-speaking astronomers use the humorous slang term “meteor-wrong.” It refers to a rock that is at first thought to have fallen from the heavens as a meteorite (“meteor-right”), but that is ultimately proved to be of terrestrial origin. I suspect there may currently be the metaphorical equivalent of a meteor-wrong in your life. The source of some new arrival or fresh influence is not what it had initially seemed. But that doesn’t have to be a problem. On the contrary. Once you have identified the true nature of the new arrival or fresh influence, it’s likely to be useful and interesting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most of us can’t tickle ourselves. Since we have conscious control of our fingers, we know we can stop any time.

Without the element of uncertainty, our squirm reflex doesn’t kick in. But I’m wondering if you might get a temporary exemption from this rule in the coming weeks. I say this because the astrological omens suggest you will have an extraordinary capacity to surprise yourself. Novel impulses will be rising up in you on a regular basis. Unpredictability and spontaneity will be your specialties. Have fun doing what you don’t usually do!

ADVICE GODDESS Wealth Care Crisis A female friend of mine just broke up with her billionaire boyfriend. She told me she wasn’t happy. The guy is superpicky about whether you put things back in exactly the right spot and doesn’t have the greatest sense of humor. Still, I think she’s making the biggest mistake of her life. Doesn’t she know how hard it is to find a decent and wealthy man? I’m a happily married woman, so why does this make me so mad?

The way you see it, your friend found that mythical leprechaun with the pot of private jets and beachfront property—and she was all, “Too short! Too green! NEXT!” Okay, you concede, she was a little miserable, but hey—happiness can’t buy money! And no, money isn’t unimportant—and it’s especially vital when you don’t have enough to get lunch from the grocery store instead of from the dumpster. But even money is subject to what economists call “diminishing marginal utility.” This is a term for how the benefit (“utility”) we get from each “unit” of a thing we’re consuming—like a good or service—decreases for us once we’ve filled our basic need for it.

Norman Li, an evolutionary psychologist who started out in economics, explains this pretty simply: “Enough oxygen to breathe is a lot better than no oxygen, but extra (“marginal”) oxygen is not much better than enough. Thus, oxygen has” diminishing marginal utility.

Li, helpfully, took an economist’s look at mating preferences, meaning he didn’t just ask the open-ended question, “So…what would you like in a mate?”—which leads people to shoot for the moon (“Oh…ringer for Hugh Jackman, funnier than Chris Rock, annual earnings matching the GDP of France...”) Here in the real world, most of us have to settle—at least somewhat. So Li tested which attributes people would consider necessities (versus luxuries) in a long-term relationship by giving subjects either a tight budget or a generous one to “spend” on various qualities they’d want in a partner.

When women (the childbearers and carers of the species) had limited mate-shopping dollars, they allocated most of them to having a Mr. Provider—a man with status and resources—saying “Oh well!” to hunkaliciousness and other qualities. Men on a tight budget disproportionately allocated their mating dollars toward hotitude—not surprising, because beautiful features are like a flashing “Fertile Myrtle!” sign. However, even on a constrained budget, women and men each saw kindness as a must-have—ranking it a close second to their top priority.

Getting back to your friend, who’s dumping what you see as a perfectly service-

able billionaire, consider that his pickiness and humorlessness may play out as unkindness. Apparently, for her, having, oh, 100 bedrooms on four continents to cry herself to sleep in doesn’t make up for that. And consider the view from diminishing marginal utility: “Okay, a billionaire is nice, but maybe I could make do with a funny, easygoing millionaire.” To stop being mad, focus on what you have to be grateful for instead of what she’s, uh, squandered—a lifetime of 26-hour arguments about how she failed to use the micrometer calipers to return the loofah to its rightful position.

Plenty Of Fishing I’ve been with my girlfriend for over a year, and I love her and think she’s beautiful. However, she is very insecure about her looks, and she asks me all the time whether I think she looks pretty.

It’s getting tiring constantly reassuring her. Is there some tool I could be using to help her feel more secure?

—Stumped I’m sure it’s exhausting doing the daily “Hi, gorgeous!” skywriting and cleaning up after the rented elephant that pulls the “You’re beautiful, baby!” billboard.

Only—oh, wait…you’re actually just tired from verbally “reassuring her,” which, admittedly, probably takes at least several words and a whole 10 seconds—if you include the time it takes for her to beam and go, “Reeeeally?!”

Yes, it is important for you to reassure her—but, in doing that, motivation counts.

Social psychologist Shelly Gable finds that relationships tend to be happier when those in them are guided by “approach” rather than “avoidance” goals. In normal-person terms, this means striving for positive outcomes rather than trying to avoid negative ones. In this case, an avoidance goal would be telling your girlfriend she’s beautiful in order to keep her from nagging you, but taking the “approach” approach would be doing it because you want her to feel good. And here’s a secret: Break out the compliments before she asks and you might keep her from starting to worry that she needs “extra-coverage” makeup—the kind that involves scaffolding, three workmen, and $200 worth of drywall.
