OPINION Letters

CORRECTIONS

WALDEN IS WRONG The Source Weekly has endorsed Democrat Jim Crary to replace Republican Congressman Greg Walden.

Thank you for recognizing that Mr. Walden is not delivering the kind of representation many people in this district want.

Over the last 12 years Congressman Walden has acted like he’s doing a wonderful job. I believe that when he came to office, he had good intentions. But the corrosive effect of vast amounts of money have changed his priorities and I don’t believe he has our best interests at heart any longer.

This change of focus became acutely evident during the occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge outside of Burns.

Mr. Walden on numerous occasions appeared to side with the outlaw Bundy faction now on trial in Federal Court in Portland. Giving our Federal Lands back to the state is not what the majority of people in Burns wanted, and it’s not what the majority of Central Oregonians want either.

Taking the side of people who use the wearing of firearms in public to intimidate local citizens is wrong. Taking the side of people who view force as a solution is wrong. Taking large sums of money from people like the Koch Brothers is wrong.

Finally, Mr. Walden has said nothing while Donald Trump has turned the GOP campaign into a spectacle where he regularly incites political violence, and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims…1.6 Billion members of an entire religion from entering the U.S. That is wrong! Make change happen now. Vote for Jim Crary for Congress.

MEASURE 100 We strongly support Measure 100 to stop the sale of parts and products from endangered species within the state of Oregon.

Action is required immediately if we are to save these vanishing species for future generations. Here are a few statistics that make the case for voting Yes on 100: 1. 35,000 elephants are killed every year.

There are only 300,000 left in Africa.

IN RESPONSE TO, “STUCK IN THE MUCK,” (10/6) When it was announced that local private developers had purchased the ground beneath Mirror Pond, it looked like it was as a public service or gift to the community.

Then we learned that the developers were considering residential or commercial development in and around Mirror Pond.

Really, not a big surprise.

Now we know that they want the community, City of Bend primarily and the Parks and Recreation Department to help finance their project. I say “Not one dam dime for Mirror Pond” because the City of Bend does not have the money for this project.

The current challenge for the City is that there are about 5,311 non-compliant or non-existent ADA curbs and ramps in the City. There are at least 3,000 miles of non-compliant or non-existent ADA compliant sidewalks in the City.

These numbers come directly from the City of Bend.

This does not account for the proposed 2,300 acres for the Urban Growth Boundary which will be decided in the next few months. It also does not include the ADA requirement for the “Maintenance of Accessible Features i.e. facilities built since 1990, that require ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation.

It is likely that this work will cost taxpayers of Bend about $175 Million Dollars over twenty years. Once again, these current construction cost estimates for curb ramps and sidewalks were provided by the City of Bend and private contractors with an

3. In 2015 alone, poachers killed more than 1,300 rhinos in South Africa out of a population of 28,000 4. All sea turtle species (seven in total) are threatened with extinction.

Wildlife trafficking is a multi-billion dollar business. Well financed and connected networks of poachers, traffickers and corrupt officials exploit weak governance and insufficient enforcement controls to profit from illegally-traded wildlife goods. This trafficking fuels transnational crime and undermines global security. Support of Measure 100 will help combat these wildlife crimes and save at-risk species from trade in their parts and products in the Oregon market.

Having seen many of these magnificent species, we, as parents and grandparents, wish to preserve them for our children and grandchildren. Please vote Yes on 100 in November!

annual 3 percent standard increase.

The real answer for the funding of Mirror Pond maintenance and preservation is a Local Improvement District (LID).

The boundaries for the District should be Newport Avenue on the north, Reed Market Road on the south, Third Street on the east and the Deschutes National Forest on the west, which would include the Tetherow Development which is part of the proposed expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary, and which will likely be annexed by the City after the Urban Growth Boundary is approved.

The LID will provide funding for the maintenance and preservation of Mirror Pont for perpetuity, and those who benefit directly from its existence will be paying their fair share of the cost. If this proposal cannot be enacted, then the river should be set free.

IN RESPONSE TO, “GANJA GROWS UP,” (9/28) Isn’t it ironic we now have white people getting rich doing exactly the same thing we have for years been putting people of color in prison for (manufacture, distribution and sale of marijuana) by the extremely targeted intentional public policy of mass incarceration. Now we have large disproportional number of people of color, particularly young adult males, in this country who can now be legally discriminated against because they have a felony conviction on their record. We can and do legally deny them housing, employment, education, public benefits and right to vote, continuing the cycle of oppression and racism.

WWII vets, average age 92, transform into 18-year-olds during trips to D.C.

BY BRIAN JENNINGS

W

ith a flurry of flags crossing the thoroughfare, it wasn’t a typical Sunday morning at Portland International Airport. Milling through the crowds were hundreds of flag-bearing veterans, waiting to greet their brothers and sisters returning from Washington, D.C. on an Honors Flight for WWII vets. The group—average age 92—had departed Portland the previous Thursday for two quick days in the nation’s capital before coming home to Oregon.

Among the well-wishers were senior veterans, including a 98-yearold WWII veteran who served on a destroyer in the Pacific and engaged in 10 major battles. Another woman visiting from the Netherlands was there to welcome her 98-year-old aunt, who served as a nurse during the war.

There were sons and daughters and grandchildren and greats, all waiting to pay their respects as the 40 veterans de-planed and exited the secured terminal area. Honor guards lined both sides of the crowded hallway as a bagpiper led the returning vets through the crowd, which honored them with 20 minutes of applause.

Finally, the veterans gathered at the front of the airport terminal for a group photo and a round of “God Bless America.” At the nearby Shilo Inn, they were individually presented with a “Quilt of Honor” award before returning to their homes throughout Oregon.

The four-day whirlwind for this group of men and women was coming to an end, but they were all smiles.

Many of them describe the trip as a once in a lifetime opportunity…and life-changing as well.

The Bend Heroes Foundation Since 2006, the Bend Heroes Foundation has worked to honor WWII veterans in Central and Eastern Oregon. Since the inception of the Honor Flight trips in 2010, 125 WWII

veterans from Bend alone have traveled to Washington, D.C., many for the first time. Hundreds more from all points in Eastern Oregon have been honored with free flights to the nation’s capital.

Foundation chairman Dick Tobiason says, “Most of these veterans haven’t been to Washington, so we treat them first class. They saved the world, so why wouldn’t we do this for them in return?” Tobiason, a Vietnam veteran, has helped organize and lead more than a dozen Oregon Honor Flight trips, escorting nearly 600 WWII veterans to the nation’s capital.

The group has raised approximately $700,000 for its mission and uses no taxpayer dollars in its efforts. On this current trip, a single Central Oregonian was among the 40 veterans. Carl Smith of Madras, age 97, fought in the Battle of the Bulge. In that historic event late in the war, 8,500 American troops died combating the German Army’s last-ditch effort to break the Allied offensive. That effort depleted the Germans’ resources and the war ended soon after.

Yvonne Drury, vice chair of the Bend Heroes Foundation, has accompanied veterans on three trips, and said she cries every time because the experience is so moving. “They are shocked to know that anyone remembers what they did.” She says their experience of observing the World War II Memorial is often soul-searching and healing in nature. “Everyone of them says they are so glad they went.

When you see how they dredge up those memories and how they deal with them, it’s very heartwarming.”

Drury characterizes the WWII generation as a humble generation.

“They did their job. They came home, went to work, started families, and they didn’t say anything for years. It’s only been the last 10 to 20 years that they’ve opened up, and people have paid more attention to their stories

“Most of these veterans haven’t been to Washington, so we treat them first class. They saved the world, so why wouldn’t we do this for them in return?”

DICK TOBIASON BEND HEROES FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN

and given them the recognition that they really deserve.”

Drury’s father, Jack Wilson, was a vet just like the one she describes.

At age 96, Wilson made the Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., with his granddaughter Leigh Anne Denney accompanying him. “When they were on their way to the World War II Memorial, I was on a flight with a lot of senior citizens,” says Denney.

“Coming back I was on a plane with a bunch of 18-years-olds. They were all goofing around, having fun, enjoying each other like they did years ago in the military.”

The D.C. Honor Schedule It would be advantageous to be 18 years old again, considering the Honors trip schedule. There are 11 stops, beginning with the flight. Upon arrival, the veterans are greeted with a flag ceremony, bused to a hotel and taken to dinner.

The next morning, the first stop is the World War II Memorial, where each veteran is presented with a flag that was flown over the United States Capitol. From there they go to the Capitol building where they are greeted by members of the Oregon Senate and a Congressional delegation.

Then it’s on to the Navy Memorial.

The following day the group goes on tours of the Lincoln and Korean War Memorials, the Vietnam War Memorial, the Air Force Memorial,

the Iwo Jima Memorial, and the Roosevelt Memorial. Franklin D. Roosevelt was Commander in Chief during the majority of the war.

A special stopover is the “Women in Military Service to America” Memorial, or WIMSA, which tells the story of women in the military from WWI to the present. “One of the reasons we go there,” says Tobiason, “is because of an individual display honoring an Oregon woman who attended Central Oregon Community College, Jessica Ellis, who was killed in Iraq during her second tour as a medic.” The display contains her uniform, boots and medals. Another special attraction at the WIMSA Memorial is a quilt made in Morrow, Oregon, that includes the names of all women in the United States who lost their lives serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Jessica Ellis’ name appears in the center of the quilt.

The visit concludes with a tour of Arlington National Cemetery and a stop at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before the flight home.

The Home Greeting Among the hundreds of well-wishers greeting the current group of WWII veterans were four women belonging to the Central Oregon Chapter of a national organization called “Patriot Pin Ups,” a group of ladies who dress in fashions worn in the 1940s and take part in activities benefiting veterans. ...continued on page 9

Oregon Graduation Rate Improves, But It’s Still Third-Worst Bend-La Pine Scores Higher than State Average

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / October 20, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Oregon’s rate for on-time high school graduations improved from 2014 to 2015–but it wasn’t enough to help raise the state’s rankings nationwide. The four-year graduation rate in Oregon rose to 73.8 percent in 2015, up from 72 percent for the class of 2014. But because other states also improved their rankings, it still put Oregon at third-worst in the nation. According to a report issued by the Department of Education Oct. 17, Alaska improved its rankings to 75.6 percent, edging out Oregon and putting our state at thirdworst instead of fourth-worst as it was the previous year. Washington State, meanwhile, also sits in the bottom 10, with an on-time graduation rate of 78.2 percent. Nationwide, leaders include Iowa and New Jersey with over 90 percent on-time graduation rates. In total, national graduation rates were the highest they’ve been in recorded history.

In the Bend-La Pine School District, the on-time graduation rate for the 2014-15 school year was 77.2 percent—the same rate reported in the 2013-14 school year. Further back, the graduation rate in Bend-La Pine was 72.2 percent in 2011-12, and 78.6 percent in 2012-13. Crook County Schools, meanwhile, had a four-year graduation rate of 46 percent for the class of ‘15—up from 30.5 percent the year before. Jefferson County Schools’ rate was 56.7 percent in ’15, and 57.5 percent for the class of ’14.

Redmond Police Make Car Prowl Arrests The Redmond Police Department says local community members helped them arrest three people suspected of breaking into vehicles in the Redmond area.

Now police are asking people to check their vehicles to see if they’re missing any items that may have been stored in their vehicles.

Police arrested three people in the early morning hours of Oct. 15, linked with breaking into multiple vehicles.

Redmond Police say they arrested Jason McCain, Trevon Nakano and a 17-year-old boy after residents reported seeing someone breaking into vehicles in the area of SW 31st St early Saturday morning. McCain and Nakano were charged with unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and multiple theft charges and sent to the Deschutes County Jail. The juvenile was charged with possession of oxycodone, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and multiple counts of theft and was sent to the Deschutes County Juvenile Detention Center.

Officers recovered stolen property from the suspects, which police now want to return to victims. The Redmond Police Department also reminds people to remove all valuables from your vehicle or to keep items out of plain view, to lock your vehicles and to leave your vehicle in a well-lit location. If you think you may have been a victim in these crimes, contact the Redmond Police non-emergency number at 541-693-6911.

Cydnee Schoettler supported veterans’ causes in Arizona before moving to Central Oregon and starting the local chapter. “It brings them joy to see us dressed this way and to be reminded of those times. It’s the least I can do to help veterans,” she says.

Maxine Gunther, another Patriot Pin Up lady, says that even though she personally didn’t serve, she volunteers as a way of honoring veterans because her brother, mother and father all served in the Armed Forces.

Pin Up lady Brandi Guy is a veteran who says she volunteers because she sees all the struggles veterans face following their service.

As she watched the WWII veterans return to Oregon, she said she was filled with emotion.

Judith Burger of Redmond served as Commander of the Veterans of Foregin Wars (VFW). Burger says she comes from a family of veterans and is glad to volunteer as a Pin Up. “I come from a big veteran family, and I got to accompany my grandfather to the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge,” which she says was a very emotional experience for her and for her family.

The Quilt to take Home The final stop on the tour: a Portland Shilo Inn, where veterans were honored with quilts sewn by members of the “Quilts of Valor” organization. Each quilt takes over 100 hours to make and is customized and awarded to the individual veteran in a personalized ceremony. Maureen Orr Eldred says, “We hope the quilts will give them comfort and healing,

wrapped in the love that we put in them.” Quilts of Valor have awarded over 145,000 quilts nationwide in the 13 years the organization has been around.

Respecting the Vet While the Honors Flight program is the primary focus of the Foundation, another effort has taken nine years and is highly visible on many of Oregon’s highway systems. The group has raised the money and cleared the bureaucratic tape to place 67 signs— honoring WWI to current veterans— on five highway systems. Highway 97 from California to Washington State, passing through the heart of Bend, is designated the WWII Veterans Historic Highway, with 18 signs honoring vets.

Meanwhile, Tobiason, of the Bend Heroes Foundation, says that WWII veterans consistently tell him the Honors Flight was the trip of a lifetime. “If you go on a trip, you find out that America loves these people who saved the world.” Millions of people were killed in WWII. “If the Americans hadn’t led the Allies all over the world, it would have been many millions more.”

Tobiason hopes to add another Bend veteran to the list next year, even while knowing that WWII vets’ numbers are rapidly dwindling with age. “It’s important for the veterans to see how our country loves them and honors them for what they did.

These people literally saved the world seven decades ago,” Tobiason says.

Drury, of the Bend Heroes Foundation, adds, “We’ll take them to Washington as long as we can.” SW

for Partisan Politics, Once a e l d n a C a nd For ht g i L s ’ All Let It’s nearly here again: the time to cast our votes and decide the fate of, oh, some simple things, like who’s going to be the leader of the entire nation, and also, who’s going to run our local soil and water districts. It’s an exciting time—but it’s also right about now that we start to look ahead to it all dying down already. In honor of this year’s election cycle, we present you with our special elections coverage, in which we say, let's light a candle for partisan politics, shall we?

El Día de los Muertos

This year’s elections issue is part nod to the marriage of Aztec and Christian traditions that brought us the Day of the Dead—those days in early November during which people honor those who have passed (and in this case, things we wish would). In a season when Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has publicly attacked Latinos, calling them “rapists” and “killers” and demanding we build a big ol’ wall to keep them out, it’s fitting to remind ourselves that Latinos have always played a huge role in the fabric of our society.

In an article this July, Donna Maxey, founder and director of RACE TALKS, stated: "Oregon was part of California, which was claimed by the Spanish, as well as the British and French Canadians. It became part of a territory settlement bartered by President Alexander Polk and subsequently the Oregon territory. 'To welcome' Spanish speakers/Latinos is somewhat of an oxymoron.

We know Spanish speakers were here before other European cultures." Latin culture is not an “other” culture. It is part of our collective American culture and has been for a long, long time.

What We Wish Were Dead: Partisan Politics

Increasingly, partisan politics haunts our electoral doorstep each cycle with memories of a political system that used to differentiate candidates, but now is only the bones of a model voters can actually use to choose. Increasingly, we are asked to look past the inadequacies for governance in candidates and vote for their party. The reasons for doing so increasingly have less to do with what is best for our community and more to do with what is best for fundraising and seat counting.

While it may seem that this primarily pertains to the national election, it is even more pertinent at the local level. Politicians are as nuanced in their positions, their voting records, their community service and their experience as we as voters are in what we desire from representation. So why limit ourselves to voting in a binary fashion? While it may seem naïve to pronounce partisanship dead before the body is cool, it starts with informed voting.

Before we all light one last candle to honor the death of this busy election season (and the partisanship that comes with it), take a look at the following pages, where you’ll get our take on the measures and candidates on your ballot.

READINESS Measure 98 would require the Oregon Legislature to distribute at least $800 per high school student each year for establishing or expanding career and technical education programs, college-level educational opportunities and dropout-prevention strategies.

Have you seen our state graduation rate lately?

Opponents are concerned that it will pull funds from other state services—but with Oregon’s graduation rate 10 points below the national average, programs that support high school students and help them find success are greatly needed. We believe voting yes on this measure shows our young people that we are committed to and value their education, and also ensures that they are better prepared for life after school, whether they choose to go onto college or not. Vote yes on Measure 98.

Measure 99 OREGON OUTDOOR SCHOOL LOTTERY FUND

YES

Measure 99 would create an Outdoor School Education Fund with 4 percent of the revenue or between $5.5 and $22 million per year from the Oregon State Lottery Fund.

Opponents of this measure argue that the money used to fund the nonprofit Save Outdoor School for All will be taken away from the state’s economic development programs. While boosting young businesses is a good thing, young people need our support more right now. Outdoor School is a valuable enrichment tool that won’t bring new teachers into our classrooms, but will still benefit our young people and continue our state’s tradition of nurturing environmental awareness. Vote yes on Measure 99.

Measure 100 OREGON WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING PREVENTION

YES

Measure 100 would ban the sale of products and parts of 12 types of endangered animals in Oregon, including the elephant, rhinoceros, whale, tiger, lion, leopard, cheetah, jaguar, pangolin, sea turtle, ray and shark (except the spiny dogfish).

Currently, Oregon law only prevents the sale of shark fins. Supporting this measure will not only help put an end to poaching, it will also demonstrate Oregon’s commitment to international conservation and animal welfare standards. This one is pretty much a no-brainer, from our perspective. Save the whales and vote yes on Measure 100.

It’s the perfect chance for cities to get their cut. In this case, the 3 percent tax (which would put the total tax on recreational pot at 20 percent in Bend) will go into the city’s general fund–a fund that needs boosting to pay for stuff like roads. Estimates are that the tax would add $345,600 in 2017 alone. Dislike potholes? Then puff-puff-give and vote yes for the pot tax.

NO

Measure 94 REPEAL MANDATORY JUDICIAL

RETIREMENT AGE, CURRENTLY 75 Measure 94 amends the Oregon Constitution and would remove the provisions that set the mandatory retirement age at 75 for state judges. It also removes the provision allowing the Legislative Assembly or the people to establish a statutory mandatory retirement age for state judges.

People who support the measure argue that the mandatory retirement age has not been shown to benefit the judicial process and that it does a disservice to judges who are able and willing to serve into their later years. While repealing the mandatory retirement age would allow the very small number of judges who do not want to retire before the age of 75 to continue to serve, in-depth research shows a relationship between aging and a decline in efficiency.

Judges who are still working at age 75 have had a good run, but we believe by then, it’s time for someone else to have a turn. Vote no on Measure 94.

YES

YES

Measure 95 ALLOW STATE UNIVERSITIES TO

INVEST IN EQUITIES Ballot Measure 95 allows public universities to invest in equities in order to reduce financial risk.

Opponents of this measure argue that if universities are allowed to invest in equities there is no guarantee that they won’t make risky investments, and that they would also have to spend money to hire investment advisors. While there is risk associated with investing in equities, we believe that with oversight that issue can be minimized. A new stream of income could benefit students in a big way, including tuition increases and enhancing important programs. With so many students being dissuaded from going to college by the ever-increasing cost, voting yes on measure 95 means voting yes on making higher education more accessible to everyone, especially middle-class Oregonians.

Vote yes on Measure 95.

Measure 96 1.5 PERCENT OF LOTTERY NET TO

VETERANS' SERVICES In what may be an overlooked issue, Measure 96 is an opportunity for Oregonians to step up to the plate for veterans.

For decades, we’ve known that those who are willing to put their lives on the line have often been ignored once they return home. It’s been reported that the suicide rate among veterans is twice the rate of the general population.

Measure 96 was referred to the ballot by the legislature—unanimously. It stipulates that 1.5 percent of the state’s lottery dollars would go to fund veterans services, amounting to over $9 million annually that would be used for health, employment, housing, and educational services they aren’t getting now.

At the state level, Oregon can help lead the way to fulfilling a promise that has been broken. It’s time to put money where our mouth is and support veterans by voting yes on Measure 96.

Oregon’s Revenue System

Measure 97

YES

RAISES CORPORATE TAXES ON BUSINESSES WITH ANNUAL SALES THAT EXCEED $25 MILLION For voters, deciding whether to support Measure 97 will most likely be the single-most difficult decision this election season. Should the measure pass, it’s expected to bring in roughly $548 million in new revenue during the 2015-17 biennium, and even more moving forward. To clarify, C-Corporations will only pay the additional tax on anything Corporate income taxes over $25 million.

The money from the measure is slated to go toward education, healthcare and senior services in the state. Opponents argue that there’s nothing in the measure that specifically earmarks those funds, and because it’s not set in legislative stone, we should throw out the entire tax. We don’t disagree that this is a flaw in the measure; however we’re not overly concerned about the money ending up in some Trends in personal income tax and corporate income tax revenues in OrTrends in personal income tax and corporate income tax revenues in Oregon.

Oregon isn’t collecting enough taxes to fund state services. That’s because Oregon ranks last among the states in effective business taxes, according to two independent studies. The Anderson Economic Group11 and Ernst & Young12 use publicly available data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis to compare the total amount of state and local taxes (not just income taxes) businesses actually pay in each state to the gross state product and to corporate profits13. Both studies conclude that Oregon is last among the states, and has been for the past three years.

And if they don’t, we have a mechanism to remove them for their lack of follow through in the next election cycle. In other words, we can vote them out. With this measure we are putting our faith in our elected officials to do the right thing and so should you.

When opponents tell you they’re worried about economic growth, they’re talking about !6 a less than 1 percent change to our economic situation–with the desired result being an education system that has the funds it needs to graduate kids on time and churn out qualified workers who can contribute meaningfully to our society.

We could also go on about how we don’t buy the ugly projections that we’ll all be suffering under the weight of immediate price increases or utility hikes. In the case of the latter, prices are set by our public utilities commission, not immediate market fluctuations.

In conclusion, our fear of a poorly educated Oregon population is winning out over our fear that corporations will jump ship and leave our state when faced with paying a more equitable share of taxes. Some might leave, but we believe that Oregon’s culture and lifestyle are still a draw that make workers and corporations want to stay.

Our education system is in crisis mode, and while Measure 97 is not a perfect piece of legislation, we cannot wait for yet another election season to start fixing the problem.

In January, get on the horn and tell your local legislators that you’ll be watching as they allocate these funds. Before that, vote yes on Measure 97.

BEND CITY COUNCIL POSITION 1

Justin Livingston

Republican Justin Livingston is a conservative with limited experience in politics—but compare him to his opponent and it’s crystal clear where your support should go. Livingston’s opponent Ron Boozell was cited last month for allegedly smoking pot in Drake Park. When we asked him about it, he refused to say one way or another whether it was true. A candidate who doesn’t acknowledge the general rule of law—or who’s not adult enough to simply admit or deny that he broke the rules in the first place—is worrisome. Livingston toes the party line with his anti-tax stance, but he has experience on the City of Bend’s Affordable Housing committee, and that at least sets him up to understand and work through the serious housing and urban growth challenges our city faces. Vote for Justin Livingston.

BEND CITY COUNCIL POSITION 2

Doug Knight

If there were an award for the “most heated” City Council race, this would be a winner. Unfortunately for the candidates, we have to endorse them not on their engagement in political theatre, but on their merits as potential city councilors.

Incumbent Doug Knight and challenger Bill Moseley are both successful businessmen who bring articulate, informed perspectives to the key issues. Still, Knight has simply too many accomplishments to his credit on the City Council to argue against bringing him back. He’s been instrumental in both the climate change resolution and in bringing forth the gas tax that could have eased the city revenue shortage—and for those reasons we say cast your vote for Doug Knight.

Greg Delgado

Greg Delgado is a voice for the working person, and that’s one we need representing us in Salem. Not only that, but he’s against party-line politics…and if you’ve seen the cover of this issue yet, then you know where the Source Weekly stands on that. This deeply-divided district does not need a partisan politician representing just one side of the equation; it needs a moderate. With incumbent Tim Knopp’s voting record, he’s hardly a moderate. Further, Delgado’s volunteer activism and roles in fighting for immigrant rights and workers’ rights shows his personal commitment to issues facing some of our most vulnerable citizens. We thank Tim Knopp for his service, but we’re ready to bet on a new horse for this one. Vote Greg Delgado.

BEND CITY COUNCIL POSITION 3

Sally Russell

In the race between incumbent Sally Russell and challenger Wade Fagen, we’re taking a “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” stance. Russell has proven herself to be a positive collaborator who’s working toward solutions that are in the best interest of Bend—and from that perspective, we see no reason not to re-hire her. Opponent Wade Fagen is the owner of Fagen Tree Service and Wood Chips, operating on a populist platform. Fagen believes he can bring the same type of efficiency he brings to his business to the City Council budget, but that stance seems only narrowly based in actual knowledge of city budgetary constraints. Contrasted with an incumbent who can continue to build on the momentum she’s already built, it’s a tough sell. We say vote for Sally Russell.

DESCHUTES COUNTY SHERIFF

Shane Nelson

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s department has been rocked by scandal a number of times recently—and apparently that trend hasn’t ebbed. Candidate Eric Kozowski alleges he’s been harassed at work ever since he announced he was running against incumbent Shane Nelson.

Harassment investigations aside, we still choose Shane Nelson. He’s been in office for less than a year and a half, and another change of guard would cause too much turmoil in a department that badly needs solid leadership. We agree with Kozowski’s stance that the department needs to be held accountable and avoid complacency— but we believe Nelson when he says he’s working toward restoring public trust and improving morale. We give kudos to Kozowski for having the guts to run against his boss and to speak publicly about alleged harassment, but we still say vote for Shane Nelson.

Knute Buehler

Two candidates who both bring preparation and good judgment to the table?! Be still, my heart. We are endorsing Republican incumbent Dr. Knute Buehler in this race, largely based on his efforts to reach across the aisle in the interest of getting things done. We also applaud him for his efforts on over-the-counter birth control during his last term, and his vote against coal in favor of cleaner forms of energy. Challenger Gena Goodman-Campbell came to our endorsement interview very informed on the issues, including higher wages and affordable housing. She’s going places and we’d like to see her serve our electorate in some capacity—but as it stands, Buehler simply has more experience serving both the public and private sectors. Vote for Knute Buehler.

U.S. SENATE

Ron Wyden

While we appreciate that this race is one of the few we’re voting on in our area that includes candidates not from either the Republican or Democratic parties, our support for the U.S. Senate race still goes to incumbent (and Democrat) Ron Wyden. One need only gaze passingly at Wyden’s voting record to understand why he’s a voice we should continue to back in Washington. Wyden opposed the bailout of the finance industry in 2010, he was against a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, voted yes on repealing the tax subsidy for companies that move U.S. jobs offshore, he’s pro-environment, pro-children’s health insurance and pro government-run healthcare, and has a strong record of funding education at the federal level. Big win on that last one, Mr. Wyden. Vote Ron Wyden for U.S. Senator.

U.S. PRESIDENT

GOVERNOR

Kate BROWN

HIllary Clinton

As this reality show of a presidential election comes to a close, we can thank The Donald for one thing: he has made this year’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton an easy one. And not just because Trump’s litany of comments that would get an average citizen born without privilege fired, arrested or both, have made him unelectable—though that’s certainly part of it. Clinton, in this ratings race, has shown herself to have a grace under pressure that underscores her long years of government service and strong character. She has shown the kind of leadership that leaves no doubt that a vote for her is a vote for a strong national presence in the Oval Office.

As a candidate who has served more than 34 years as a public servant, from First Lady of Arkansas, to First Lady of the United States, to U.S. Senator from New York, to most recently, U.S. Secretary of State, Clinton has a lot to offer. We believe that this vast experience in Washington and world politics can break the partisan logjam that has stymied relative newcomers like Barack Obama. As we said in our primary endorsement, “Long held alliances and trust built over decades combined with a deep understanding of the issues are what it takes to lead the country effectively.” And that has only become truer as this campaign has rolled along through Trump’s political pigsty.

The job of being President has become less about the merits of the legislation you create and more about the opposition you can overcome to get it passed. Is this a legacy of Obama’s presidency that we are leaving in the past? We hope so. But we believe it is going to take a veteran of congressional investigations, partisan witchhunts, and obstructionist politics to get things done.

Go high Hillary!

DESCHUTES COUNTY COMMISSIONER

STATE TREASURER

Alan Unger

Phil Henderson is an educated candidate who's made this race one of the most substantive pairings of this cycle­, long on policy and low on personal attacks. The candidates’ policy debates have underscored our desire to eliminate party labels from many races, thereby allowing voters to select candidates based on the merits of their positions on economic issues—which is 99 percent of their job.

Henderson wants to take a more active role than Unger as a commissioner, tackling land use laws in preventing affordable housing, the increased spending and degradation of the Central Oregon lifestyle.

He's criticized Unger for the number of boards he serves on, which ostensibly takes away from governance.

We don't share most of those concerns.

Henderson criticizes Unger and the County for taking the maximum amount of taxes for their operation. Indeed, Unger has never tried to cut back, but the county is growing and we need mental health services, infrastructure and transit badly. Unger should stay in his seat to allocate these funds in a manner that keeps the County growing. Unger’s community involvement is commendable and we hope it grows. Unger is a soft-spoken politician whose demeanor can be a drawback on the campaign trail but a positive one in community service.

Vote Alan Unger for County Commissioner.

U.S. HOUSE 2ND DISTRICT

Jim Crary

It’s no secret that we’ve come out swinging in this race on both sides. While we maintain our support of challenger Jim Crary, we are by no means giving him a free pass to D.C. Crary says he’s been beating the street and meeting voters one by one in an effort to avoid the pitfalls of traditional campaigning, but we venture to say that’s not enough to win this seat. Crary, an attorney and former corporate negotiator who’s running on a platform of campaign finance reform, has more chops than he even gives himself credit for, and the voters of our area deserve to hear his message on the radio, on TV and in other public forums.

What we are looking for, as voters in a politically-divided region, is moderate non-partisanship—and when it comes to incumbent Greg Walden, we’re not getting it. Walden has opposed gay marriage and the regulation of greenhouse gases, pitting him as a climate change denier in a world where that sentiment is going the way of the coal-fired energy plant. Crary needs to simply touch on Walden’s voting record to sway the voters of this district, and there’s (maybe) still some time to do that. Plus, we’re still annoyed that Walden’s office didn’t even bother to take part in a single debate in this race—and that Walden hasn’t yet rescinded his endorsement of Donald Trump. ‘Nuff said. Vote for Jim Crary for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Crary’s preferred adult beverage: · SCOTCH ON ICE WITH WATER ·

Chris Telfer

In this four-way race, there are two candidates who have the background and qualifications to work for the best interests of Oregonians. Chris Telfer of Bend stands out. She is a hard-nosed certified public accountant and former state senator who has experience in how Oregon’s $90 billion treasury should be invested in challenging times ahead.

As a former Democrat and Republican turned Independent, she is opposed by Democrat Tobias Read, Lake Oswego City Councilman and private investor Jeff Gudman and Green Party candidate Chris Henry. Gudman is a strong challenger who holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, but he lacks experience as a state senator.

As Oregon tackles a $22 billion shortfall in the State’s pension plan, it will take an experienced treasurer to oversee Oregon’s investment portfolio as dollars become stretched. A vote for Chris Telfer is the wise choice.

ATTORNEY GENERAL

Ellen Rosenblum

In this race, both candidates have a diversified, legal background. Republican challenger Daniel Zene Crowe brings a background as a veterans advocate and attorney with a West Point background, but his experience pales when compared to Democrat Ellen Rosenblum who has held the office since 2012.

Rosenblum has 22 years experience as a judge, eight more as a federal prosecutor, and five as a private attorney. Although his advocacy of veterans needs is noteworthy, Crowe has a long way to go to match Rosenblum’s experience. It is also noteworthy that Rosenblum has helped lead the way in cracking down on crimes against those who are most vulnerable—the elderly and children—prosecuting sexual predators and child pornographers, as well as targeting scams against senior citizens.

This race seems clear based on Rosenblum’s years of experience and there is no reason to change the guard. A vote for Ellen Rosenblum is the clear choice.

OREGON HOUSE DISTRICT 53

COMING SOON

...But wait! Our elections coverage isn't done just yet! Since we like to hear from our local candidates in person before we make an endorsement, we're holding our endorsement for District 53 until next week.

Stay tuned...

15 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 42 / October 20, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The looming budgetary shortfalls in Salem are of epic proportion. The shortfalls in education, public infrastructure spending, the public employee retirement system (PERS) and health care obligations are a wake up call for good governance. It’s enough to make a voter want to hit the reset button—but that would be foolish.

Gov. Kate Brown has had the unenviable task of taking over the office in the wake of the Kitzhaber scandals and of having to hit the campaign trail almost immediately afterward. Her tenure as governor thus far has been a mixed bag, but she is still the best option for Oregon moving forward.

What is it about the Republican candidates that make them want to shoot their campaigns in the foot? Bud Pierce made himself practically unelectable by making a statement during a debate in which he proffered that, “Educated women experience less abuse.” It was a shocking statement, but not as shocking as his idea of taking five percent of our public lands a year back from the federal government to help pay for budgetary shortfalls. His campaign has been light on substance about the economic issues that will overshadow all of his strange partisan financial solutions.

Brown’s experience as secretary of state and her ability to push through legislation, such as the increase in minimum wage and the raise in public education funding, prove that she is in a better place than Pierce to navigate the difficult budgetary balancing to come.

Brown has earned the right to finish out this term and to be elected to the next one.

Vote Kate Brown for Governor.

With lyrics like, “Wanna drink, wanna smoke, wanna feel it in my throat,” Heaton fully grows up with this record. She stops being the teenager in her bedroom trying to connect and becomes a pop diva whose barely-clothed body is as recognizable as Kim Kardashian’s. But the lyrics on “Bad Intentions” are surprisingly confessional, feeling more like catharsis and less like radio-ready manufactured pop.

Even though the record was greeted with good reviews, she spoke out against the album, saying to Complex. com: “They wanted me to change the way that I looked, the way that I acted, the way I sang, the words I wrote, who I was as an artist, but also who I was as a person. And I couldn’t do that. The creation of my EP under these circumstances was a strenuous and very difficult task.

CULTURE

An Immigrant’s Take on America

Author Chitra Divakaruni brings a broad perspective during a tumultuous election season

By Jared Rasic

is. The diversity, the multi-cultural milieu of America have made it a very special place. People also forget how much immigrants have contributed to America. It’s kind of ironic when you think of it: Because of the Native Americans...aren’t we all immigrants to America?”

Every few years, chunks of the American people seem to forget tolerance. “It’s not like we forget it,” says Divakaruni. “I think sometimes when there’s turmoil...it was the same after 9/11. When there’s turmoil people are looking for scapegoats and are afraid of people who don’t look like them or don’t have the same cultural habits as them. I think in the wake of such times it becomes a difficult issue.

The question gets asked, ‘What are we going to do with these immigrants?’ I think it’s forgotten that these immigrants are Americans.”

Conversations about hot button topics like immigration or women’s rights seem to be devolving the closer we get to November. “I think the problem with discourse right now is that instead of saying, ‘OK, we’re going to look for terrorists,’ the discourse has become, ‘We are going to look at every immigrant who looks different and therefore makes us feel uncomfortable.’”

But what can be done when such vitriol is being spewed into the news cameras every day? Divakaruni has a few ideas. “There’s a bunch of things we could do,” she says. “We could vote for the right people. Meanwhile, I think as individual citizens we can speak out against xenopho-

bia, we can promote understanding of other cultures. In years like this, books about immigrants become important for people to read.”

The importance of books can never be overestimated. “Books give us a sense that these people are just humans just like everyone else and want the same things,” says Divakaruni. “They love their families. They want to be safe. America is like the promised land to most of these immigrants.”

Divakaruni puts the election into perfect and simple terms that every American, regardless of political affiliation, could stand to hear: “In this election, more than any I’ve seen in my 30+ years in America, if we vote for the wrong person it will change America hugely in the wrong way,” she

Bend’s Cosmic Depot is the place locals go for everything from cleansing sage to singing bowls. Now, they’re delving into the slightly-less mystical with a free mural art series.

“Free public art is the bomb,”

proclaimed Christy Nickey, owner of Cosmic Depot. Nickey says it was her love for art that inspired her to include an art wall at her business.

“Murals are eye openers to the public, they spread awareness for art and artists,” said Nickey.

All the artists featured in the mural project work on a volunteer basis.

says. “I don’t think we’ve had candidates that could have done that in previous years. It could really change the nature of America and what America stands for. And that’s kind of scary.” SW

The art will be rotated quarterly and aligned with the changing seasons. The current artist is Megan Marie Myers.

Myers’ mural depicts a surreal high desert-inspired landscape with the Three Sisters in the background.

In front of the Sisters sits a girl who looks like a '60s cartoon character surrounded by animals. Myers

By Danielle Meyers describes her art work as, “stylized with a sense of child-like wonder.” She calls her mural, “Those Who Wander After Dreams Often Find Good Company,” and said it is geared toward women and young girls whose dream is exploration. Myers described her mural as “more than cute, it’s about the friends you make and people you meet that inspire you everywhere you go. The animals represent the different type of people out in the world.”

“It’s important to follow your dreams and I hope people who stop by to view (the mural) are inspired to follow their dreams,” says Myers. SW

hitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an immigrant—a word filled with notes of hope, pain, desire and freedom. During this election season, the Trump campaign has also tried to equate the word with “terrorist.”

Divakaruni’s novels, poetry, essays and non-fiction are mostly from the point of view of immigrants exploring new places with fresh eyes and open hearts.

Divakaruni was born in Calcutta, India, in 1956. She received her B.A. from the University of Calcutta in 1976, soon after moving to Ohio and attending graduate school at Wright State University before earning her Ph.D. in English at UC Berkeley in 1985.

She has won the American Book Award, The Allen Ginsberg Poetry Prize and the PEN Oakland Award, among dozens of others. Her new novel, “Before We Visit the Goddess,” was published in April, released to almost universal acclaim.

Amazingly, fiction writing wasn’t on her radar from a young age. “I started writing several years after I moved to the United States,“ says Divakaruni.

“So, I think that immigration and moving into a whole different culture, a whole different world, made me into a writer. I think in some ways it gave me perspective on India and a new fresh look at America.”

In 2016, Divakaruni is very aware how important the conversation about immigration can be. “I think right now in this election year it’s a huge issue,” says Divakaruni. “But I think it’s always been important because it’s such a big part of what America

Stand-Up Drama

No, seriously…you can launch an actual comedy career right here.

This guy's doing it right now.

By Howard Leff

31

Go ahead and give up your day job. Photo by Yoko Ikeda.

You can’t see a thing.

That’s your first thought. The second involves bolting for the door.

Congratulations! You’re Bend’s newest stand-up comic, onstage for the first time ever, staring into a blinding spotlight aimed squarely at your optic nerve. The all-important microphone’s just inches away. If only you had some water or beer or anything to help this mouth of yours, currently dry as the high desert that surrounds you, and in which you would very much like to hide.

Welcome to night one of your Central Oregon comedy career. How do you like it so far?

It looks so deceptively simple on Netflix, this curious business of making people laugh. Jokes, applause and glamour. But now you realize, in this swirling, surreal mix of light, dark,

strangers, bartenders and alcohol, the enormity of this task you’ve chosen.

Dying, as the saying goes, is easy.

Comedy is hard.

And nowhere in the comedy galaxy do things appear harder than on “open mic” nights. This is where newcomers go to discover if they have any chance of stand-up success. One thing in your favor: At least in Bend, you can get some stage time. Despite the fact that the city lacks a dedicated comedy club, there are quite a few extremely talented and friendly comedians living here—some of whom organize open mics as well as various other shows around town.

Get to know them. They will help you.

But there’s another obstacle.

Depending on the night, month, season and whatever else is going on

Seven Nightclub Bend Comedy Open Mic, Tuesdays, 8-10pm. Continues through Jan. 3, 2017 Sign up at 7pm to get five minutes of stage time.

1033 NW Bond St., Bend

that evening, the number of open mic night audience members can occasionally top out in the single digits. You know how laughter’s contagious?

Not necessarily.

Crowded or not, open mics begin with the host starting the show. He or she will be comfortable, graceful and funny. This person will remain onstage just long enough to set a standard you cannot possibly reach. Then this person will introduce you. Your name sort of hangs in the air. Polite clapping follows. This lasts for a half-second.

Now it’s your turn. The moment to quietly slip out the door has officially passed.

You will walk onto the stage and begin to form words, sentences if you’re lucky. Typically, open mic spots last five minutes. For a person in your desperate situa-tion, that can feel like

five hours. Why? Your jokes are erratic and the punch lines don’t punch. Your movements are weird. You’re talking too fast and your timing’s off. Plus, you’re dealing with that spotlight, tons of nervous energy and the suddenly harrowing sound of your own voice.

Audience members (or member) will sometimes offer nothing but blank stares in return. Relax, new Bend comic. This is normal. If you can manage to put in six or seven years of grueling work, you’ll get better. That’s a promise. Now go write some more jokes.

Oh, and please remember to tip your waitresses.

Looks like you could use a drink.

Steak Me Home Tonight Okawa is a hibachi-ball

By Jared Rasic 33 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 42 / October 20, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

O

kawa Steak House and Sushi doesn’t just sling good food; they give you a show on top of it. The restaurant on Third Street is modeled after the Benihana-style restaurants, which are in turn based on the Teppenyaki style of Japanese cuisine involving fireballs exploding, onion volcanoes, food flying toward your mouth and the chef spinning cooking implements faster than you might think is humanly possible.

In other hibachi restaurants I’ve experienced, watching the master chefs cook the food right at your table is a blast, but the food is usually underwhelming. Dry steak, room-temp sushi and hard vegetables often abound.

Okawa, on the other hand, didn’t stumble. As fun as the fireballs and flying rice were, the food really was the centerpiece of the meal.

My dining companion and I started with the Shumai, a steamed shrimp dumpling. Each was bite-sized and fresh, with the dumplings melting in my mouth. The shrimp was light, sweet and soft, without any of the rough texture that comes from overcooking.

We then tried Okawa’s miso soup and a salad with a tangy carrot ginger dressing. So far, all the appetizers were delicious, which got us excited for the sushi. Sushi is usually low on the list of priorities for a hibachi joint, so our expectations were firmly in check.

We started with the bamboo rolls (shrimp tempura, eel and cream cheese, topped with avocado and eel sauce). The avocado was fresh and divine, so when combined with the crispy, buttery shrimp, the whipped cream cheese and the unagi, the complexity of the rolls was incredible.

I don’t know why Bend of all places has so many excellent options for sushi, but it’s a good problem to have.

Within a minute of finishing the bamboo rolls, our chef came to our table and started preparing the hibachi dishes. As he put on the show, the chef kept a close eye on our steak, salmon, veggies and fried rice so as not to over or undercook anything.

The fried rice was perfect, with the fluffy pieces of egg adding excellent flavor to the dish. Fried rice is about as basic as it gets, but the spices and sauces they used to brown it made for a recipe unlike any I’ve had in years. The veggies were a generous mix of broccoli, mushrooms, onions, carrots and other delightful bits. The moments that they marinated in the sauce generated by the steak and fish allowed the vegetables to pick up several different flavors. I’m not a big fan of onions or mushrooms, but this time I couldn’t

stop eating them.

The steak was a dead-on medium rare, lightly pink but not bloody. The cut of meat was fresh and generous and paired well with the fried rice and vegetables. The salmon had a honey marinade slathered all over its flaky deliciousness and melted away as soon as it touched the tongue.

Even though we were stuffed to the absolute maximum, the food was so good (and for the quality control of this review), we ordered one more set of rolls. The "hot fancy rolls" (seared pepper salmon, avocado and spicy tuna with tempura flakes and spicy mayo on top) were too good to even deal with.

The salmon and tuna made a great pair, creating a balance to savor.

Okawa is a fun place to bring the kids to let them marvel at the open flames and flying rice—but flavor isn’t sacrificed for spectacle. I always have fun when I eat, but this was something special. SW

Boneyard's special IPA is hitting local taps while Seattle's Bellevue Brewing is also pouring locally.

A

s the last of the fresh hop releases come dripping out and the beer fans of Central Oregon prepare for a genteel end-of-year segue into stout season, a couple exciting things are hitting the scene at the same time: the commemorative IPA from Boneyard, and a new name visiting from the suburbs of Seattle.

By the time this hits print, Boneyard’s Mystery Science Brew 1000 should be on tap in their brewery and around town. The name, a take on ‘90s cult TV classic Mystery Science Theater 3000, derives from the fact that it’s the one-thousandth batch of beer made at Boneyard’s large-scale production facility, opened in northeast Bend more than two years ago.

MSB1K is a bit of a departure from Boneyard’s flagship product. “The brewers wanted to make a traditional IPA,” says Dana Robles of Boneyard. “We used, in our opinion, the classic trifecta of hops: Centennial, Amarillo and Simcoe to make a pretty straight-forward IPA that is different than RPM.” Not in the mood for an IPA in this cold weather? Turn to Bellevue Brewing Company, a four-year-old outfit just

east of Seattle that made its Oregon debut at an event last week at Brother Jon’s Alehouse.

There are a lot of well-known names in beer around the Seattle area, from big guys like Elysian and Pike to smaller favorites like Georgetown and Fremont. Bellevue, meanwhile, hasn’t distributed much beyond greater Seattle until now, so it’s not exactly a name on the lips of every Oregonian beer hipster. That may change this winter, however, once they start trying out the lineup.

Bellevue’s IPA is worthy enough, boasting a mix of Chinook, Cascade, Citra and Azacca hops. (There’s also a double-IPA seasonal coming out in bottles, made in collaboration with Seattle-based radio station KZOK.) But it’s their maltier varieties that truly stick out of the bunch. With the weather officially turning toward winter now, the Oatmeal Stout in particular seems to pair perfectly with anything. Its smooth and toasty flavor bursts with coffee and molasses-style flavors. If Bellevue can keep Bend well-supplied, the acronym “BBC” might just start meaning something different before long. SW

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

HELL OR HIGH WATER: Coming in at the tail end of summer, “Hell or High Water” is being hailed as one of the best films of the year and one of the best modern westerns since “No Country For Old Men.” This tells the tale of a pair of brothers who rob banks in West Texas to save the family farm. The cast, including Jeff Bridges, Ben Foster and Chris Pine, is flawless and the script by “Sicario’s” Taylor Sheridan is enveloping. Combat blockbuster season with this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX KEVIN HART: WHAT NOW?: Kevin Hart put his own money into this giant stand-up comedy special that's as much narrative movie as it is comedy. Hart's energy carries the film further than its 96-minute running time should allow. That can be way too long for a stand-up set, but if you're a fan of Hart then it's an embarrassment of riches. Not quite as funny as “Let Me Explain,” but still much better than most of the dreck that passes as stand-up nowadays. 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

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 MAX STEEL: Here comes another movie rocking a 0 percent over at Rotten Tomatoes.

Based on the long forgotten toy line, “Max Steel” tells the story of a young man who discovers his body generates powerful energy.

He teams up with a “techno-organic extraterrestrial” and becomes a superhero to hunt down a mysterious and evil cabal of bad guys who want to control his powers. There's no way the film can be as bad as the trailers, but those are also only two minutes long. This is one to avoid. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MIA MADRE: Italian auteur Nanni Moretti's new film tells the story of Margherita, a filmmaker whose newest shoot is complicated by her increasingly difficult personal life. Bouncing between comedy, pathos and heartrending drama, “Mia Madre” is an affecting portrait of sorrow balanced with hearty chuckles, provided by John Turturro. The quiet, subdued nature of the film is belied by how much the film stays with you after the final credits scroll by. Tin Pan Theater

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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. 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

THE ACCOUNTANT: Ben Affleck plays an autistic savant who is part ninja assassin and part geeky numbers guy. When he takes on a ruthless group of killers and a possible love life, it's hard to tell what's scarier for him. While not without its flaws, “The Accountant” is still such a fun action/thriller/comedy/drama hybrid that the flaws are easily overlooked. Pieces of this movie have been done before but, when combined, make for one of the most original and entertaining films of the year. See full review on p. 37. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK: The Touring Years: We're never going to stop talking about John, Paul, George and Ringo, so just accept it. This documentary, directed by Ron Howard, specifically focuses on 1964-1966, the years the band spent touring the world. In that time they played 166 shows in 15 countries and 90 cities, creating a legacy that is just as strong today as it was back then. Some of the footage unearthed for the film will delight fans and historians alike. Tin Pan Theater

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. 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SW

"The Accountant" makes up its own rules

planet, all while maintaining a cover as a small-town CPA. He then takes a legitimate job searching for millions of missing dollars at a top-shelf robotics company.

As he gets dragged deeper into a far-reaching conspiracy, The Accountant meets a lovely analyst (Anna Kendrick) and will have to fight his own limitations to come out alive.

See how cheesy that was? That’s how Warner’s marketing department is selling the movie, when it’s actually much richer and inventive.

Affleck commits to the autism beautifully without overselling or going too broad with the performance.

Showing a range I didn’t know he was capable of, it’s probably the most I’ve ever liked him onscreen.

His character’s blooming relationship with Kendrick is a joy to watch.

Every character in the film is given a chance to grow and change, which is rare for something so plot-driven.

Some of the twists and turns are predictable and there’s a 10-minute scene of exposition toward the end of the film, but with actors like

A-

Never have you seen more intense number crunching than in “The Accountant.”

John Lithgow, J.K. Simmons, Jeffrey Tambor, Jean Smart and Jon Bernthal supporting, it’s not a deal breaker. The flaws here might overwhelm a lesser movie, but the whole thing is just so much fun that the film moves past its problems without much fuss.

As soon as the film ended, I wanted a dozen more films set in this universe with these characters. “The Accountant” almost plays like the pilot for a TV show, setting up future arcs and

unanswered questions that don’t feel like plot holes. The film is flawed and might be too weird for a general audience, but I loved every single minute of it. SW “The Accountant” Dir. Gavin O’Connor Grade: ANow playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

A Man and His Horse

"Harry & Snowman" vs. the blue bloods

By Jared Rasic

S

o many modern documentaries don’t even feel like the truth anymore. With expertly composed frames and painterly cinematography, documentaries can sometimes feel like dramatic reenactments more than slices of history or current events.

Those kinds of docs can be powerful and gorgeous to look at, but something feels inherently manufactured about them. That’s why “Harry & Snowman” feels so refreshing: it’s shot simply and plainly without sacrificing any of the story’s power.

Harry de Leyer came to the United States with nothing but his skills. He was a Dutch immigrant, a war hero and an expert horse trainer, finding work at an exclusive girls school in North Carolina. He purchased Snowman, a plow horse, at a last-resort horse auction for $80, and that one decision changed the course of his life.

Snowman was such a laid back animal that Harry started out letting beginner riders have a go. The horse was kind and gentle, even with children. Harry eventually sold Snowman to a doctor several miles down the

road, but a few days later found Snowman standing in front of his house.

Snowman had jumped the doctor’s fence and run the six miles home.

After buying Snowman back, they never parted again.

Harry saw how talented Snowman was at jumping the fences and began to train him as a show jumper. As soon as they started competing, Harry and Snowman began winning. The documentary chronicles Harry and Snowman’s journey from last-ditch horse auction all the way to Madison Square Garden’s National Horse Show in 1958 and beyond.

The American aristocracy attended horse shows regularly in the 1950s and 1960s, when horse jumping was seen as less elegant than some of the higher-profile divisions. So, not only is “Harry & Snowman” a heart-lifting tale of a man and his horse, but it’s also an underdog story about the haves and the have-nots. Harry and Snowman are both worth rooting for and the documentary makes it easy to be in their corner.

Harry de Leyer is 86 years old now

and still riding, training and loving horses. He has lived a remarkable and full life, working his way from the very bottom to the heights of the horse world. “Harry & Snowman” is a lovely story very simply told without flourishes or embellishment. The film doesn’t lionize its subjects, nor does it take them lightly.

Documentaries should always service their subjects while remaining an interesting piece of art. This film

does both in a way that feels honest and refreshing, telling the simple story of a man and his horse. Sometimes, that’s all you need. SW

ilm studios and critics always try to place movies in little boxes.

This one’s a comedy. This one’s a mystery. This one’s a drama…as if “drama” isn’t the most generic and shortsighted description for film imaginable. When a film plays fast and loose with genre, the marketing department is usually at a loss, selling the film as something it isn’t.

“The Accountant” bounces between genres in such a way that makes each scene feel like it’s from a different movie. There are elements of character-based drama, mystery/thriller, comedy, straightforward action movie and even superhero flick. While all of these aspects don’t always combine seamlessly, it’s just weird enough to make for an incredibly engaging and wildly original movie.

Ben Affleck plays The Accountant.

He’s given a name, but it’s definitely an alias, one of many he’s had over the years. He’s an autistic savant obsessed with solving numeric puzzles. He works as a forensic accountant for arms dealers, drug cartels and some of the most dangerous people on the

Fight for the Ochocos

By Hayley Jo Murphy

Objections arise as new trail system is proposed

By Russ Axon 39

m

Lair said the Forest Service is confident in the project, officially proposed in 2009. A proposal was initially submitted in 2014, but was withdrawn after a forest fire created the need for additional analysis and dialogue.

“I think we’ve spent a lot of time reviewing it to make sure it’s a solid proposal. And I don’t think we’d be coming forward with it now if it wasn’t ready,” Lair said.

However, many are still concerned.

“I just don’t think there’s a demand for it,” said Sarah Cuddy of the conservation organization Oregon Wild. “OHV riders are a small minority user group, and to give them one-third of the heart of the Ochoco National Forest just doesn’t seem like the right action.”

Lair said OHV usage did drop

significantly after the travel management laws passed, but is still popular.

The proposed trails will keep riders from making their own illegal trails, Lair says. “This isn’t just building a system. Another aspect of the work is closing all the other unauthorized routes within the implementation area,” he said.

Cuddy doesn’t think this will cut down on riders making their own routes, and added that there are thousands of miles of other trails across Oregon available to riders.

“I agree that everybody deserves a place to recreate, and no doubt, motorized recreators deserve a place to enjoy and recreate,” Cuddy said. “But there’s plenty of other user groups that are low impact that we could invest in, because there’s plenty of opportunity for motorized recreation.”

Impact on Forest Cuddy is also concerned with the proposal’s environmental impact.

Oregon Wild is currently working to make the Ochocos a National Recreational Area.

According to the Final Environmental Impact Statement, the forest is home to 30 unique species of wildlife and almost 40 unique plant species, all of which will be minimally affected by the proposed trails.

Lair said several routes were abandoned or redrawn to avoid wildlife and streams, as well as to set aside rehabilitation areas.

Many feel that the proposed routes are still invasive. “If you look at the map of the trails they’ve proposed, it’s the area that game animals frequent,”

said Bill Littlefield, president of the Bend chapter of the Oregon Hunter’s Association. “It’s just going to make a lot of noise, a lot of dust, and move a lot of other things out.

I don’t think it’s good overall for the forest’s health.”

Enforcement and Resolutions Littlefield says the trails will also negatively impact private landowners in the area, who will deal with animals being pressured out of their natural habitats. “They can’t (farm and raise animals) very well if they’ve got hundreds of birds, elk or deer on their property eating their crops.”

Lair said the proposal addresses these concerns: riding season will only last from June 1 to Sept. 30 so as not to interfere with elk hunting season; and many of the proposed trails that came in close proximity to private property were abandoned. “We’re creating more safe zones or quiet areas for wildlife through this process than what currently exists,” he said.

But even if the proposed trails were moved away from the wildlife areas, Littlefield says forcing such a large zone is difficult.

After the objection period, the Forest Service will start an objection resolution period, followed by the implementation plan development. Lair says the project will proceed gradually, allowing the Forest Service to react and adapt to any new challenges.

Editor’s note: the Source Weekly contacted the Ochoco Trail Riders group numerous times to elicit a comment on the proposal, but did not receive a timely response. SW

ortheast of the city of Prineville lies the Ochoco National Forest—a much-loved area more than 845,000 acres in size. Inside its borders are three Congressionally-designated wilderness areas, more than 375 species of wildlife and countless firs and pines. Then there's the current controversy about who can use the lands and when.

Last month, the U.S. Forest Service released a proposal for a combined 137 miles of off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails in the Ochocos. The proposed Ochoco Summit Trail System would open currently closed trails and construct over 50 miles of new trails at an estimated cost of $488,000.

The Forest Service’s Final Environmental Impact Statement and the Draft Record of Decision cite a need for new, sustainable and diverse trails “open to motorized recreational vehicles, including OHVs, to provide legal access, protect natural resources, and minimize conflicts between motorized and non-motorized recreational use” in the Ochocos.

Both documents state that the proposed trails are meant to “offset the loss of opportunity” for OHV riders after travel laws in 2005 and 2011 limited the legal travel area for motorized vehicles. The proposal is currently in a 45-day objection period, during which any group or individual who submitted written objections to the previous proposal can “file an objection if they feel their concerns have not been adequately addressed,” said Patrick Lair, the public affairs officer for the Ochoco National Forest.

eventual home ownership by allowing renters to save money to become homeowners. Likewise, increasing home ownership relieves the rental market by releasing rental housing.

Two U.S. Senators (Hatch, a Republican, and Cantwell, a Democrat) have recently proposed legislation which would increase support for the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program by 50 percent. The (LIHTC) was created in 1986, but by 2020 nearly 1 million units financed through this program will be approaching the end of their compliance periods. Once the compliance period is over, they can charge market rents—reducing the affordable rental inventory.

It is nice to see people from both sides of the political aisle trying to help support affordable housing.

Hopefully our newly elected officials will give greater attention and work together finding solutions to our affordable housing crisis­—which is inter-related to other important economic issues.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 42 / October 20, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

t is disappointing to see that housing has not received greater attention during our current presidential race.

Housing is such an important part of the economy, yet it rarely comes up as a point of discussion. Our declining homeownership rates have hit a 50-year low. Escalating rents and short supplies of affordable housing, many years of flat incomes for wage earners, high student loan debt, tighter underwriting standards, changing demographics and our recent economic meltdown have all contributed to our current national crisis—which is also very real here in Central Oregon.

Rising rents are probably the most significant issue, as they make it difficult for many young families to become first time homebuyers because their savings for a down payment are eaten up by high rents.

Some are suggesting that rental housing and home ownership policies should be complementary rather than competing with each other. Support for affordable rental housing enables

ADVICE GODDESS Talk Dirt-Cheap To Me My husband of a year is very tight with cash. It’s always save, save, save.

I recently traded in my car, and I needed $1,000 more for the new one, but he never offered to give it to me.

My parents ended up paying it. I make my own money, but not a lot, and I’m wondering what kind of financial arrangement makes sense in a marriage.

Your husband comes into the living room, and there you are—sitting on the floor with a Starbucks cup and a cardboard sign that says, “Anything helps. God bless.”

Unfortunately, the passive-aggressiveness of the wife-as-panhandler approach is toxic in the long run. However, the theatrics would get your message across better than the nonverbal forms of communication you’ve probably been using—pouting and closing cabinet doors a little more forcefully than usual.

Like a lot of women, you may assume that whatever subtle emotional cues you can read, men can also read. However, research by social psychologist Judith A. Hall finds that women are far better than men at spotting and decoding nonverbal signals in facial expressions and body language. Women’s having evolved greater aptitude for this makes sense, as newborn infants generally aren’t in the habit of expressing their needs with, “Hey, mom-lady…would you grab me a pack of smokes and a beer?”

So, yes, if you want something from your husband, you do have to put that out there in spoken-word form. But beyond that, you two need to sit down and hammer out a fiscal policy for your relationship—where the lines get drawn on “yours”/“mine”/“ours” and “what if one of us has a financial crisis and needs an alternative to, oh, stealing a mule to get to work every day?”

In coming up with this policy, it’s important to go beyond the cold dollars-and-cents view and discuss each other’s attitudes surrounding money, especially any issues and fears. Then, when there’s a conflict, each of you can maybe start with a little compassion for the other’s point of view.

It also might help to understand that our views about money are influenced by genetics and what behavioral ecologists call our “life history strategy”—a term that relates to whether our upbringing was stable and “safe” or risky and unpredictable. Child development researcher Jay Belsky and his colleagues find that a stable childhood environment tends to lead to a more future-oriented approach (saving, for example), whereas, say, growing up ducking gunfire or just having divorced parents and getting moved around a lot tends to lead to a more now-oriented approach (spendorama!).

Whatever your past, going off into the sunset being chased by creditors can be a

marriage killer. Family studies researcher Jeffrey Dew finds that married couples with a bunch of “consumer debt” (owing on credit cards, loans for consumer goods, and past-due bills) fight more about everything—from sex to chores to in-laws. And research by sociologist Carolyn Vogler, among others, finds that couples who pool their money (like their money got married, too!) tend to be happier. I would guess that the spirit in this is important—going all in financially…“us against the world!” instead of, “If you lose your job and can’t pay your share of the rent, don’t worry, baby. I’ll help you pitch your tent on the front lawn.”

Leaf Him Alone!

Pot is legal where I live, and it helps ease my knee pain from years of running. I’ve noticed that it also makes me feel more sensual. I want to share the marijuana experience with my boyfriend when we make love, but he says pot (even the “energizing” strains) makes him “inert” and “obsessively analytic.” How do I get him to be more open-minded?

—Merry Jane Pot does open your boyfriend’s mind—to a four-hour rumination on the meaning of burritos.

Welcome to what biologist Ernst Mayr called “human variability”—the existence of individual differences. We see it in how some of us enjoy a surprise kick of peanut butter in our chocolate milkshake, while for others, it’s “Wow…look how I’ve swelled up, just like a human balloon.” Likewise, research on the cognitive impact of pot by neuroscientist Antonio Verdejo-Garcia shows varying effects on research participants’ “sustained attention” (among other things)—in line with which one of two genotypes they have.

Consider that being nagged to start smoking pot is probably as annoying as being nagged to stop. Sure, you have the best of intentions—sharing your sensual experience with him. And, if he smokes pot, you can—after he stops communing with the rug, asking the little fibers, “Did you ever consider that the tortilla is the perfect metaphor for human consciousness?”

ASTROLOGY LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the course of her

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Welcome to the Painkiller Phase of your cycle. It’s time to relieve your twinges, dissolve your troubles, and banish your torments. You can’t sweep away the whole mess in one quick heroic purge, of course. But I bet you can pare it down by at least 33 percent. (More is quite possible.) To get started, make the following declaration five times a day for the next three days: “I am grateful for all the fascinating revelations and indispensable lessons that my pain has taught me.” On each of the three days after that, affirm this truth five times: “I have learned all I can from my pain, and therefore no longer need its reminders. Goodbye, pain.”

On the three days after that, say these words, even if you can’t bring yourself to mean them with complete sincerity: “I forgive everybody of everything.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): For the foreseeable future, you possess the following powers: to make sensible that which has been unintelligible…to find amusement in situations that had been tedious…to create fertile meaning where before there had been sterile chaos. Congratulations, Sagittarius! You are a first-class transformer. But that’s not all. I suspect you will also have the ability to distract people from concerns that aren’t important…to deepen any quest that has been too superficial or careless to succeed…and to ask the good questions that will render the bad questions irrelevant.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the past eleven months, did you ever withhold your love on purpose? Have there been times when you “punished” those you cared about by acting cold and aloof? Can you remember a few occasions when you could have been more generous or compassionate, but chose not to be?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, the next three weeks will be an excellent time to atone. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you can reap maximum benefit from correcting stingy mistakes. I suggest that you make gleeful efforts to express your most charitable impulses. Be a tower of bountiful power.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1415, a smaller English army defeated French forces at the Battle of Agincourt in northern France. Essential to England’s victory were its 7,000 longbowmen— archers who shot big arrows using bows that were six feet long. So fast and skilled were these warriors that they typically had three arrows flying through the air at any one time. That’s the kind of high-powered proficiency I recommend that you summon during your upcoming campaign. If you need more training to reach that level of effectiveness, get it immediately.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let’s imagine your life as a novel. The most recent chapter, which you’ll soon be drawing to a close, might be called “The Redemption of Loneliness.” Other apt titles: “Intimacy with the Holy Darkness” or “The Superpower of Surrender” or “The End Is Secretly the Beginning.” Soon you will start a new chapter, which I’ve tentatively dubbed “Escape from Escapism,” or perhaps “Liberation from False Concepts of Freedom” or “Where the Wild Things Are.” And the expansive adventures of this next phase will have been made possible by the sweet-and-sour enigmas of the past four weeks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the 1980s, two performance artists did a project entitled A Year Tied Together at the Waist. For 12 months, Linda Montano and Tehching Hsieh were never farther than eight feet away from each other,

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the coming weeks would you prefer that we refer to you as “voracious?” Or do you like the word “ravenous” better? I have a feeling, based on the astrological omens, that you will be extra super eager to consume vast quantities of just about everything: food, information, beauty, sensory stimulation, novelty, pleasure, and who knows what else. But please keep this in mind: Your hunger could be a torment or it could be a gift. Which way it goes may depend on your determination to actually enjoy what you devour. In other words, don’t get so enchanted by the hypnotic power of your longing that you neglect to exult in the gratification when your longing is satisfied.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When the wind blows at ten miles per hour, a windmill generates eight times more power than when the breeze is five miles per hour. Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect there will be a similar principle at work in your life during the coming weeks. A modest increase in effort and intensity will make a huge difference in the results you produce. Are you willing to push yourself a bit beyond your comfort level in order to harvest a wave of abundance?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cuthbert Collingwood (1748-1810) had a distinguished career as an admiral in the British navy, leading the sailors under his command to numerous wartime victories. He was also a good-natured softie whose men regarded him as generous and kind. Between battles, while enjoying his downtime, he hiked through the English countryside carrying acorns, which he planted here and there so the “Navy would never want for oaks to build the fighting ships upon which the country’s safety depended.” (Quoted in “Life in Nelson’s Navy,”

by Dudley Pope.) I propose that we make him your role model for the coming weeks. May his example inspire you to be both an effective warrior and a tender soul who takes practical actions to plan for the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Eighteenth-century musician Giuseppe Tartini has been called “the godfather of modern violin playing.” He was also an innovative composer who specialized in poignant and poetic melodies. One of his most famous works is the Sonata in G Minor, also known as the Devil’s Trill. Tartini said it was inspired by a dream in which he made a pact with the Devil to provide him with new material.

The Infernal One picked up a violin and played the amazing piece that Tartini transcribed when he woke up. Here’s the lesson for you: He didn’t actually sell his soul to the Devil. Simply engaging in this rebellious, taboo act in the realm of fantasy had the alchemical effect of unleashing a burst of creative energy. Try it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The planets have aligned in a curious pattern. I interpret it as meaning that you have cosmic permission to indulge in more self-interest and self-seeking than usual. So it won’t be taboo for you to unabashedly say, “What exactly is in it for me?” or “Prove your love, my dear” or “Gimmeee gimmeee gimmee what I want.” If someone makes a big promise, you shouldn’t be shy about saying, “Will you put that in writing?” If you get a sudden urge to snag the biggest piece of the pie, obey that urge.

long career, Libran actress Helen Hayes won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony. Years before all that glory poured down on her, she met playwright Charles MacArthur at a party in a posh Manhattan salon. Hayes was sitting shyly in a dark corner. MacArthur glided over to her and slipped a few salted peanuts into her hand. “I wish they were emeralds,” he told her.

It was love at first sight. A few years after they got married, MacArthur bought Hayes an emerald necklace. I foresee a metaphorically comparable event in your near future, Libra: peanuts serving as a promise of emeralds.

bound by a rope. Hsieh said he tried this experiment because he felt very comfortable doing solo work, but wanted to upgrade his abilities as a collaborator. Montano testified that the piece “dislodged a deep hiddenness” in her. It sharpened her intuition and gave her a “heightened passion for living and relating.” If you were ever going to engage in a comparable effort to deepen your intimacy skills, Aries, the coming weeks would be a favorable time to attempt it.

mericans’ opinions about cannabis have changed dramatically over the last decade and are now “nearly the reverse” of what they were as recently as 2006, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center.

The poll, conducted in late August and early September, found that 57 percent of adults favor legalizing cannabis and just 37 percent favor keeping cannabis illegal. Just a decade ago, only 32 percent favored legalization and 60 percent favored prohibition.

While opinions nationwide are changing as Americans in many states become more familiar with legal cannabis, opinions in states where cannabis is legal for both medicinal and recreational use are especially favorable. In Oregon, a poll by DHM Research taken on the second anniversary of the state’s popular vote to legalize cannabis found that 61 percent of Oregonians think legalization of recreational cannabis has had a positive impact on the state.

That is higher than the 56 percent who voted for legalization, indicating that Oregon’s grand experiment with legal cannabis is widely seen as a success. Less than one-third of Oregonians think legalization has had a negative effect on the state.

A sizable majority of Oregonians also oppose local bans on recreational cannabis sales, a law that was crafted by the Legislature and not part of the legalization vote in 2014. Statewide, 60 percent of Oregonians oppose local sales bans. But this fall, over 50 cities and counties will vote on whether to ban recreational cannabis sales, and

many are expected to pass.

Local sales taxes on recreational cannabis are especially popular in Oregon, with 69 percent of voters approving of such taxes. Many see this as a surprising level of approval in a state with no general sales tax.

Oregon law allows local governments to impose a tax of up to 3 percent on cannabis sales. The local tax, if approved by voters, is in addition to the 17 percent statewide tax on sales that will be in place as of Jan. 1.

The Oregon Department of Revenue says 106 communities will vote on the local tax this November. One such community is Portland, where city officials estimate the tax would generate at least $3- to $5-million annually for the city.

Another city with a looming vote on a local recreational cannabis tax is Bend, where Bloom Well owner Jeremy Kwit referenced the city’s divisive road maintenance issue by calling the tax “pot for potholes.” But the tax revenue will go into the city’s general fund, so the City Council may decide to put the money to other uses. (See our Elections coverage in this issue for our endorsement of the Bend pot tax measure.)

As with most issues in contemporary American politics, opinions both locally and nationally tend to break down by party affiliation. Nationwide, Democrats favor legalization 60 to 30 percent, whereas a small majority of Republicans, 55 percent, still oppose legalization; 52 percent of Oregon Republicans still view legal cannabis negatively.
