LETTERS

whom aren’t even making as much money as their renters are.

For the last several weeks the Source has had letters from Bend renters lambasting local landlords and rental managers, complaining about unfairly high residential rents. I have some responses for them to help them better understand basic housing economics.

Lastly, with regards to the letter complaining about how hard it is to find rentals here that allow pets, I’ll share my latest tale with you as to why we’re now reluctant to rent to dog owners any more.

It follows that, if real estate investors cannot get a fair and reasonable return on their investment dollars in Bend, they will not buy homes here and there will be even fewer rentals available. Investors will put their money elsewhere, demand for new homes here will decrease, fewer new units will be constructed and sold and rents of remaining units will rise.

So let’s look at the cost of purchasing a typical newer three bed, two bath home in Bend as a rental investment. A purchase price of $265,000 (if you can even find one at that price today) with a twenty percent down payment leaves $212,000 to finance. At current investment mortgage rates, the PITI (principal, interest, taxes and insurance) payments would be $1,280 a month.

An investor then has to pay a professional property manager about ten percent of the rents collected to cover management costs.

If that home is then rented out at $1,500 a month to you, the owner is getting only $70 a month back as a return on their $53,000 down payment investment. That’s only about a 1.6 percent return!

If the investor is a cash buyer buying a three bed, two bath home for the same price, the rental return on that huge cash outlay is better, but still only about 5.1 percent. In both cases this is the return without vacant months and before incurring extra repairs and maintenance expenses, which are inevitable since things break down and also because tenants generally don’t treat rental homes as well as owners would.

Compare these low returns to what an investor would get who simply puts the same funds into the stock market instead, where they have no liability or management headaches, no bounced rent checks, and no trashed properties to deal with, and where they could earn a return of eight to twelve percent annually.

Basically, people complaining about high rents here, in some cases, really are asking that their lifestyle be subsidized out of the income of other property owners, some of

We put in new carpet and padding a couple years ago in a home, at a cost of over $5,000.

We next rented the place for two years to a couple who had two large dogs—ones that supposedly did not shed and that allegedly were kept kennel caged when inside the home. When these folks moved out (because the gentleman lost his job), we discovered that the whole house absolutely stunk of a wet dog smell. After two professional cleanings, (at $300 a pop) the carpet still reeked.

So now the house needed not only new expensive carpet and padding…again but also needed the wooden subfloors painted over with an odor blocking primer. And who is going to pay for all those extra damages, with an unemployed tenant already headed out of state?

We, the owners are, yet once again.

And as a result, we’ll have to raise the rent for the next folks who move in (who will expect clean, fresh smelling floors) and limit the rental from now on to people who don’t have pets.

—A Landlord in Bend

IN REPLY "LOCATION, CONGESTION, GREED, AND BAD LOCATION" (10/21) Well DeeDee, I think you about covered it all.

Bend has become what most people moved here to get away from. Anyone that has been here at least 5-6 years can see what has been happening and how quickly things are changing, and not in a good way. Bend has become more about squeezing every dime out of the so called "experience or lifestyle" this great place has to offer, and less about building a strong comunnity where people that actually live and work here can live at a reasonable cost. The new norm of rental cost and property values is way beyond reasonable, it's just plain greed. But if nothing is done about it and the people that migrate here continue to pay this out of control pricing, then it will never stop and only get worse. No one seems to have any common sense anymore when it comes to the long term outcome of Bend, all they see are dollar signs and the next opportunnity to capitalize on the Bend experience.

I hate to say it, but Bend is a lost cause unless some drastic changes happen soon.

IN REPLY TO “DIPPING INTO THE POT” (10/29) At this point, giving Ms. Larsen immunity from prosecution in exchange for truthful confession of exactly what she corrupted as far as evidence, this would stop the waste of millions of dollars that is surely going to take place in checking each and every case she may, or may not have touched.

Her crime is severe, but doesn’t warrant the State (our money) in spending this massive amount. In fact, it’s exactly opposite of what we want now, and that’s expediency in getting to the cases she corrupted. In not getting this done quickly will lead to other criminals being released because the State has no way of defending its position.

he process of revising Bend’s Urban Growth Boundary expansion proposal has been slow, but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

And it is starting to look like that will be the case. While there’s no way around the fact that planning for future growth is essentially a big guessing game, the recently-approved UGB scenario gives us hope that the steering committee has its priorities straight and its predictions dialed in.

As much as some of our letter writers may object, Bend is growing and will likely continue to grow at a rate outpacing the rest of the state for the foreseeable future. The State has made clear that the City cannot simply stretch its arms and push out indefinitely into the surrounding rural and forested areas. Bend residents have also stated, in a survey distributed by the City, that their top priority in the UGB-expansion process is “a quality natural environment.”

And the UGB steering committee listened. By giving their stamp of approval to Scenario 2.1—which favors expansion on the southeast side of town, while limiting further development on the wildfire-prone west side—the committee demonstrated foresight and a vision of Bend’s future that aligns more closely with the day-to-day realities and hopes of the city’s residents.

The scenario was one of three approved by the committee for further evaluation in June. They assessed each scenario based on factors identified by the State: “efficient accommodation of identified land needs; orderly and economic provision of public facilities and services; comparative environmental, social, economic, and energy consequences; and compati-

bility of proposed urban uses with nearby agricultural and forest activities occurring on farm and forest land outside the UGB.” The steering committee’s decision is not only right on fire safety, it’s also right on density and diversity of housing types. It’s a step away from Bend, the resort town, and a leap in the direction of Bend, the thriving small city.

As the folks at Central Oregon LandWatch, who also favored scenario 2.1 point out, the alternative to this scenario could have meant increased development in wildlife habitat and twice as many houses west of town. Scenario 2.1 not only prevents more homeowners from being vulnerable to wildfire and protects sensitive wildlife, it also embraces efficiency measures to help Bend grow up rather than out and encourages the development of diverse, multimodal-transportation options and a range of housing options to meet the needs of Bend residents on all ends of the income spectrum.

Of course, the steering committee doesn’t have the final word, and time will tell if this scenario meets with the State’s approval. But it’s encouraging to see that the committee is taking to heart the concerns expressed by Bendites and moving forward with a solution that could help preserve the quality of life unique to this place.

Bend has been going through quite a growth spurt over the past decade, but it feels like the city is starting to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up and for this the steering committee deserves a glass slipper. It’s something we can all be proud of.

Local WWII veteran reflects on act of courage

obert “Bob” Maxwell pauses at the door of Bend Senior High School and takes off his World War II hat and stores it under the seat of his shiny red walker. Inside, large black and white drawings of Salvador Dali, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King Jr. encircle the cafeteria and in an adjacent corner, plaques and photos honoring veterans hang beside a memorial listing the names of those who never made it home. Maxwell, an honorary Bend Senior High graduate, came home in 1945 after throwing himself on a German enemy grenade in World War II. That courageous act earned Maxwell the country’s highest military award, the Presidential Medal of Honor. At 95, he is the oldest living recipient of the medal and the only residing in Oregon. A few days before his Oct. 26 birthday, Bend City Council proclaimed Oct. 21 “Bob Maxwell Medal of Honor Day.” His friends call him Bob, and he asks where to park his horse—his walker—as he and his friend Dick Tobiason—a Vietnam veteran and his manager—take seats in the principal’s office. The two know their way around the office because they implemented the Character Development Program at the high school, which places veterans in the classroom.

Around Veteran’s Day, Maxwell’s schedule fills up quickly with assemblies, ribbon cuttings, and memorial dedications, so he likes Tobiason to manage his appointments. He has a cell phone and says that he sends Tobiason texts.

“I text,” he says. “It’s just a matter of punching the numbers in. I’ve got the old obsolete cell phone that nobody else owns anymore.”

Seventy-three years ago, Maxwell was

drafted by the Army during World War II and became a wireman in the Third Infantry Division. He joined his division in North Africa and later they moved into France.

“He was basically the IT guy of his infantry,” Tobiason says. His job was stringing switchboards from the battalion command post to the rifle company so that the two stations could communicate with each other, explains Tobiason.

Maxwell recalls the night of September 7, 1944 when he was in Besancon, France.

Armed with only a .45-caliber handgun, he says grenades were being launched at the battalion command post and one made it inside.

“In the instant that the grenade came over the fence and landed at my feet—I estimated five seconds—and there was a thought in my mind to find it and throw it back, but I realized that time was up, and there wasn’t time to do that,” he says.

“So that’s why the only alternative was to drop on it and hope to smother it before it killed somebody else.”

Because his body absorbed the blast, none of his fellow soldiers were injured, and Maxwell says the next thing he remembers is waking up still inside the compound next to a bicycle.

“I remember when I came to, the bicycle’s on the ground and I was all tangled up in it,” he says. “Don’t know how I got that way, but the grenade must have blown me right into it and got hung up in it.”

Although Maxwell was still alive, he wasn’t safe, and found himself left behind by men who thought him dead. But the Lieutenant was still there and helped Maxwell detach the radio from the wire—which protect-

ed the communication of the battalion command post—and the two fled on foot dodging enemy fire along the way.

Maxwell was decorated with the highest military honor in 1945. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Maxwell’s Medal of Honor paperwork two days before his death, and Maxwell says President Truman was too busy with the affairs of the country to present him with the medal.

So after spending around nine months of recovering in hospitals overseas and then in Colorado, a local General awarded him the medal.

After the war, Maxwell was living and working in Redmond when he met Bea. “I met my wife in church in Redmond,” he recalls. “We hit it off pretty well and we were still married 64 years later.”

Maxwell says his wife told him to take a job at Central Oregon Community College as a mechanics instructor and that’s where he spent the next 30 years. The couple had four daughters, and they all live in Oregon.

Beatrice passed away in April.

He will be at Bend High Senior High School again for their Veteran’s Day Assembly. Despite receiving the Medal of Honor 70 years ago, he says the feeling is still hard to describe. “[I]t’s not typical of my character to be on such a high pedestal and have everybody looking up to you; I’d rather be down among the people,” he says. “The medal does make you feel somewhat like that, but then when you get to thinking about it…you got rewarded for something that some people think was worthy, so [then] you go back to work.”

The Oregon Transit Association awarded the Local Distinguished Service Award to Kelly Sparks, Oregon State University Cascades; Jim Kirkbride, St. Charles Health System; and Eric King, City of Bend. The three were recognized at the Oregon Public Transportation Conference for their work and implementation of the Bend Transit Expansion for Cascades East Transit. The six-month project launched in September and added additional routes, later hours, and shorter wait times along the Cascades East Transit system. Other Bend Transit Expansion partners included Bend Park and Recreation District, Central Oregon Community College, Bend Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the Bend Chamber of Commerce. The annual award recognizes an elected official, private citizen, or public transportation maker who helps public transportation through leadership, policy, or legislative initiatives.

Bend recently completed a curb ramp improvement project to help meet the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Several curb ramps in the city have been built and others received upgrades.

Around 100 ramps have been completed along Northwest Summit Drive, and the City plans to make upgrades to sidewalks and curb ramps along South Third Street.

Beginning Nov. 3, Pinebrook Boulevard will be closed for up to two weeks on the west side of Hwy 97.

A center median will be installed and traffic signals will be removed. Access to Pinebrook Boulevard homes will be available from Brookswood Boulevard.

Why there is no immediate solution to the Bend housing crisis

By Corinne Boyer

B

end’s housing crisis isn’t a new problem. If you aren’t looking for a new place yourself, chances are you know someone who is. And this isn't likely to change anytime soon. The solutions offered by some Bend City Councilors to address housing affordability and availability are not going to provide relief in the short term.

Sifting through limited housing options advertised on websites like Craigslist can feel like a reoccurring nightmare, but it’s a reality for many Bendites for the forseeable future.

On a larger scale, a new Urban Growth Boundary has been preliminarily approved, which is set to make more land available for development and help encourage more efficient use of land within Bend. But this is a problem Bend has been trying to solve for a decade. City Councilor Nathan Boddie says the UGB expansion was rejected by the state in 2005 and Council has come up with a responsible solution allowing the City to grow up and not out.

Bend’s Affordable Housing Manager Jim Long says people are moving in at a higher rate, but the City is still recovering from a lack of housing inventory.

and factors are woven together, it replicates a massive intertwined dilemma illustrating just how bad the housing crisis is.

“How many words for bad do we have?” asks Campbell. “Crisis does not [overstate] the problem that we have with affordable housing right now—we have an effective rate of zero percent vacancy,” she says.

The three Councilors agree that there are problems with available affordable housing—what they define as government subsidized housing—and workforce housing like apartment buildings, cottages, or multifamily homes. For example, a quick search on the GoSection8 website shows one available rental in Bend. Now factor in the average price of a single family home—Chudowsky says it’s around $350,000—and there’s yet another piece to a complicated puzzle that can’t be put together.

Bend’s Affordable Housing Manager Jim Long doesn’t agree with these definitions of affordable housing.

“Everybody lives in subsidize housing,” he says. “If you own your house or if you’re buying, you write off your interest in your taxes—that’s a government subsidy,” he says. He’s passionate about his work and

“HOW MANY WORDS FOR BAD DO WE HAVE?...CRISIS DOES NOT [OVERSTATE] THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING RIGHT NOW—WE HAVE AN EFFECTIVE RATE OF ZERO PERCENT VACANCY." -Barb Campbell “During the economic downturn Bend’s population kept growing, but we stopped building,” he says. There wasn’t “a single, multifamily permit issued.”

A STARK REALITY Everyone seems to have a story about the impacts of that shortage.

City Councilor Victor Chudowsky says he knows a guy who runs a sign company whose 27 employees can’t afford to live in Bend. So like many others, they commute from the surrounding areas like Redmond, Prineville, and Sisters. But even those options aren’t necessarily more affordable as rental prices on Trulia and rent.com advertise housing prices that resemble Bend’s.

City Councilor Barb Campbell owns a small business and says one of her employees is couch surfing. So when all of these stories

says that City Council is working hard to solve the problem.

Right now, there are two property management company that manage eight reduced-rate apartments. But their waiting lists are closed. A separate search for market-rate housing, brought up properties in Prineville, Bend, and Redmond with one studio apartment available and a few apartments under $1,000 per month. The rest of the listings are single-family homes renting for $1,095 to $2,800. And even if a few people want to split those housing rental prices, with most property management companies, all tenants who want to sign onto a lease have to financially qualify and pass credit checks.

“Now every person in there has to have met the credit checks, the background checks, so unless you yourself have enough money to be able to rent an entire house and then find those individuals, that kind of thing

just can’t happen anymore,” says Campbell.

Another option like Craigslist, in addition to common sense concerns, has created another competitive market. For example, after calling about a small two bedroom, one bath home with a for rent sign, I learned that the owner was looking for a couple because the bathroom is only accessible by walking through one bedroom and the price is $1150 per month.

BABY STEPS TOWARD A SOLUTION While City Councilors believe no step is too small to alleviate the crisis, Chudowsky mentions that he is not in favor of a rentcontrol option.

“The consensus among housing economists is that rent control in the long run restricts your supply of housing overall,” he says. “Because it provides less incentive to develop housing, and not only to develop housing but to maintain that housing that we have.”

Another measure brought up by Councilor Campbell during the City’s last meeting was 90-day rental increase and no-cause eviction notice—which would replace a state mandated 30-day notice.

“When I first brought it up, I was hoping it might be something we could approve in a meeting that evening,” she says. Because a similar notice passed in Portland, she says the City is keeping an eye on how it works.

“In our climate in the winter, this a question of life and death for many people if we can find housing for them. Just giving them that notice so they have more time to try and find a new place it seems to me to be the very least that we can and should do.”

But this effort doesn’t make more housing available, and Chudowsky says it may have an adverse effect.

“If you’re a landlord, you have to make decisions about how much to raise rents,” he says, “and the farther away that date is from when the lease ends, [it] seems to me that would be more of an incentive to raise rates.”

However, Bend City Council has approved a list of efficiency measures—or incentives for developers—and several affordable housing-related building proposals are set to be heard at the next council meeting.

“So the efficiency measures we put into place are mostly in the form of Bend City bonuses and what that means, for example, is we have a height restriction of 35 feet— three stories—so if you wanted to build a four-story building, we will let you do it if the fourth story is affordable housing,” Campbell says. “[A]s long as the equivalent of a quarter of that project is affordable housing, then we allow them to build higher—which means they are able to recoup their costs for that project and it’s just a win, win for everybody.”

Council also approved an exemption for system development charges (SDCs)— which are new development fees (that in-

clude water, sewer, and street) paid for by any new house or building. “So we don’t charge affordable housing projects these SDCs,” says Boddie. “It doesn’t make a huge impact, but it makes a project that would almost be buildable get over that last hurdle.”

Chudowsky says Oregon’s SDC fees are high because it’s expensive to expand the sewer system.

But Campbell says the SDCs exemptions are becoming attractive even to private developers.

However, the housing crisis is challenging people to reexamine what is considered traditional housing. The idea of tiny houses is popular among City Councilors, but the City would need to make changes to lot sizes that are for sale because Councilor Campbell says they are still big and still expensive.

“The mayor would like to see a cluster of tiny homes and so would I,” Campbell says.

“I think they’re cool,” Boddie adds.

Oregon is also one of two states—Texas is the other—without inclusionary zoning.

“That would be where we could honestly require some developers to include affordable housing in their projects,”

“The entire project is maybe three dozen units and then of that this developer is hoping to do a few that are affordable,” she explains, “and this is someone who has been building market- rate housing his entire career as a developer and thanks to this incentive has now said, ‘You know, I will be able to build affordable housing.’”

Other incentives approved

by Council include the density bonus—which encourages developers to build up and closer together—and changes that were made to the cottage code and accessory dwelling units. Campbell says you can build smaller single-family homes on one lot if one of the homes is affordable. Accessory dwelling units—or ADUs—can now be larger in order to accommodate someone turning their garage or shed into an apartment, says Campbell.

THE WAITING GAME But all of these new proposed incentivesto bring development take time. Jim Long says nothing can be done in the next 30 days, and this problem creates frustration among City Councilors.

“I think there are a lot of people that are confronted by near homelessness, and we have a lot of people that are outright housing impacted,” says Boddie. “[It’s] a huge amount of economic stress and a lot of people are hanging on by their fingernails.”

on at the state level—it’s just more acute here,” he says. “Oregon—even though the economy is growing, the percentage of people who are at the poverty line keeps growing as well. I don’t know what the answer is, but certainly anything we can do to attract employers—it’s clearly a huge problem.”

Boddie believes there is another way to create, but not mandate, an inclusionary zone by way of the City’s annexation policy that would force developers to compete for new land.

“We can only ask nicely for someone to build more affordable types of houses,” he says. “When a piece of land is being considered for annexation for coming into the city, that’s kind of the one moment in time when we actually do have leverage to have a beauty pageant—how much affordable housing, how much workforce housing would you be willing to put in your development to encourage us to annex you into the city?”

One code that is unique to Bend is the City’s affordable housing fee. Jim Long says it should be permanent and so far the City has collected $5 million.

Councilor Boddie explains, “Like an SDC, developers get charged a small fee, it’s very minor, but it goes into our affordable housing fund—which we then use to subsidize these affordable housing projects.”

says Campbell. She also said she lobbied for inclusionary zoning during the last legislative session and in the meantime says there is a way to implement it at the city level. “There is a mechanism, there is a way; it is legal.” Boddie agrees saying, “I would like to see the state repeal the inclusionary zoning prohibition.”

Chudowsky doesn’t share the same opinion, saying an inclusionary zoning study showed the approach can increase the cost of housing overall.

“It had a distorting effect on the entire housing market to make it such that if you were a person that did not get this subsidize house or apartment, you ended up paying more so it's kind of like shifting the cost onto other people,” Chudowsky says.

He thinks the bigger problem in Oregon is economic disparity.

“This affordable housing crisis is going

Long believes the Bend City Council is sympathetic and aggressive with regards to housing, but in order to get Bend back on track the City needs to “take every single tool we have and implement them wisely, expand on tolls, convince the Council that we need to go higher because we can’t go over five stories. People in Bend are afraid of heights.”

But despite the impact of economic disparities on the housing crisis, Councilor Boddie says the problem reaches people across the income spectrum.

“The fire department is having trouble finding places for fire fighters—it’s not just sort of a lower-income homelessness issues, but we have that challenge as well,” he says. “I think that the more we raise the alarm that this is a real threat to our town like any other wildfire, earthquake, or economic collapse, this a real threat to Bend, and we have to treat it like that.”

“There have been a lot of instances we’ve heard through the grapevine of people wanting to do apartment buildings, and when they factor in SCDs, those don’t pencil out,” he says. “Essentially it’s impossible right now to build an apartment building at the market rate—and those rates are low—and the SDCs are the biggest factor that make it too high.”

Chudowsky says, “The bottom line is there’s no one grand solution, there’s no magic bullet.”

n apple a day keeps the doctor away. Bundle up or you’ll catch your death! A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

We’re all familiar with the conventional health tips passed down by grandmothers for generations. But what about the less-tried and not-so-sure-if-it’s-true?

We sent our writers out to explore the wide world of alternative health remedies. But we didn’t let them write about increasingly commonplace practices like acupuncture or homeopathy. Instead, we asked them to investigate emerging approaches to health and wellbeing.

Some, like the awkwardly-named meal replacement drink Soylent, and the practice of healing through the sounds emitted by crystal bowls, were a bit more off-the-beaten path. While others, like the Brazilian dance-meets-fight style of Capoeira and ingesting essential oils are gaining popularity.

We also checked in with readers to find out their go-to home remedies for staving off seasonal sniffles. And, since many of these remedies aim to reduce anxiety, we took a look at the impact of stress on health, and talked to an expert about what really works to bring stress levels down.

With that, we lift a mug of hot tea and say, “To your health!”

INGESTING ESSENTIAL OILS Not just for aromatherapy anymore

By Jessie Dale

E

First, it’s important to take ingesting essential oils seriously.

While they are natural, they also contain chemicals in high concentrations that can be dangerous if used incorrectly.

Chelsea Phillips, a licensed acupuncturist with a Masters in Oriental Medicine and owner and practitioner at Hawthorn Healing Arts Center in downtown Bend, advises those who are considering ingesting essential oils to use caution.

Prior to working with the dōTERRA products Phillips currently uses, she didn’t recommend ingesting essential oils at all. This stemmed largely from labeling issues. The FDA doesn’t regulate the labeling or testing of efficacy for essential oils, so while the product you’re buying may claim to be lavender oil, it could certainly contain additives that aren’t listed on the label. In Phillips’ case, the reliability of the dōTERRA testing process gave her confidence. Consumers, as well, should thoroughly research their essential oil providers.

Phillips also cautions against chronic ingestion of essential oils. As with any medication, long-term use can be dangerous.

The bottom line: Whether an active ingredient comes directly from nature or is produced synthetically, it should be consumed with caution and guidance from professionals.

Although essential oils aren’t tested or monitored by the FDA, it’s worth noting that the process of bringing to market an FDA-approved medication is complicated and expensive, a quagmire that many nature-based remedies hope to avoid.

While some FDA testing is publicly funded, most is not, and a great deal of research, time, and inescapably money must be spent on FDA approval.

According to the National Institute of Health, researchers generally agree that the most reliable sources for new drugs are plants and living organisms, citing nature as “a master chemist;” however, future economic profit is often a driving force behind seeking FDA approval and synthetic alternatives are usually the easier, less expensive choice. That essential oils contain active and potentially effective ingredients is virtually undeniable. The two difficulties lie in ensuring that you are both selecting a treatment that is effective for your particular symptoms with the limited testing available and in knowing that the bottle you are holding does indeed contain what it says it does.

CRYSTAL CLEAR Sound healing gives good vibes

By Erin Rook and Hayley Jo Murphy

M

ost people are familiar with meditation in the broadest sense—quieting one’s mind through a particular discipline.

The use of crystal bowls to create powerful sonic waves is less commonly known. But practitioners say it can be transformative.

And it has history. Though crystal bowl meditation became popular in the healing community in the 1980s, the practice of sound healing using bowls is believed to have ancient roots.

Practitioner Doug Cristafir, of Bend’s Radiant Arts, describes a session of what he calls a “crystal bowl harmonic sound bath.”

“In a quiet subdued atmosphere, while laying on a mat, people are invited to relax and let go,” he explains. “We bring attendees into a state of calmness creating harmonic tones that can be gentle and rise to a full intensity of sound.”

In his practice, Cristafir uses seven crystal bowls, four Tibetan metal bowls, and three crystal pyramids, played throughout a 45-minute session. The resulting harmonic vibrations—each bowl corresponds to the notes A through G on the musical scale—leave attendees feeling refreshed and cleared of anxieties in the way an intense yoga session might alleviate stress.

“While no healing claims are made,” Cristafir is careful to disclaim, “some have claimed better sleep for a week, loss of a headache, flu symptoms ending, and no more chronic pain. Many have also shared experiencing other worldly visions, past life alignments, and a much clearer sense of whatever they have been working on within their lives at the time.”

While no studies have been done to support these claims, ultimately,

crystal bowl healing is virtually harmless.

Unless, of course, you’re one of the few people who simply doesn’t like the sound of the “singing” bowls.

The notion that sound can be therapeutic is hardly novel. Most people use music to that end on a regular, if not daily basis.

And while New Age-style treatments sometimes come with a side of dogma, Cristafir says crystal bowl healing offers

a blank canvas.

“Our sessions are offered as an experiential process that helps one to feel more within their bodies,” he explains. “We do not promote any specific perspective. We provide a space for someone to be present and to take with them whatever comes up during or after the session.”

ssential oils—the concentrated, extracted oils of plants— have long been used for medicinal purposes. In fact, modern medicine relies heavily on organic matter as a blueprint for medications. While essential oils are often used topically or for aromatherapy, some also ingest essential oils as an internal medicine. If essential oils will be making their way into your medicine cabinet this winter, here are some insights and guidelines to keep in mind.

WORRIED ABOUT STRESS? Simple tips for axing anxiety

By Sam Katzman

I

According to Rudd, stress is best managed through three interwoven categories. The first and most important foundational category is lifestyle habits, the activities we choose to make time for in our routine.

“Things like meditation, mindfulness, regular exercise, intentional breathing, having good sleep,” says Rudd. “It’s the basic obvious things, but if we’re not doing them then we’re already setting ourselves up for stress.”

{

in that rest and digest mode.”

Finally, if the first two categories have been addressed and the stress still lingers there’s the treatment and supplement category. Dosing should be done on an individual basis because everyone’s needs vary, but Rudd says vitamins C and D, and multivitamins with Bs, as well as botanical herbs like kava, scullcap, and chamomile work well to decrease stress.

“When we’re stressed out, our bodies are depleted of our vital vitamins, minerals, and

What kind of damage can prolonged stress do to the body?

“The entire system can be affected. Things like elevated blood pressure, immune function goes down, we’re not able to sleep as well, we have decreased appetite or maybe we have an insatiable appetite because we’re reaching for comfort foods, heart issues, kidney issues, liver issues. Ultimately, it leads to inflammation throughout the body, which then causes pretty much any condition that ends in -itis.”— Dr. Natasha Rudd

The second category is diet. Rudd says mood and behavior are closely linked to what we eat. She emphasizes the importance of always eating balanced meals and being sure enough fruits and veggies make it onto the plate.

“They have tons of antioxidants, which are going to help prevent things like oxidative stress and the side effects of what stress does to the body,” Rudd says. She also recommends eating organic whenever possible. “There’s a lot of stuff that’s on foods and by going organic we’re at least decreasing our exposure to some of those things that can be detrimental if we’re dealing with stress already.”

An aspect of the diet category that’s too often overlooked, according to Rudd, is food hygiene. Do you sit down to eat meals? Do you chew your food all the way through? Does your plate look like a painters’ palate of colored vegetables?

“It’s some of those things that sometimes we don’t think about when we’re in a rush,” Rudd says. “When we’re eating we’re supposed to be

nutrients and we need to replace that if we’re not getting it from our diet,” Rudd says.

“People who are stressed tend to not have a lot of time on their hands and food can fall to the wayside, so that’s when you have to think about adding supplements.”

In addition, treatments such as acupuncture, constitutional hydrotherapy, detox, and castor oil packs over the abdomen and liver are known to help decrease stress.

But according to Rudd, stress will never permanently dissipate unless one tackles the underlying culprit.

“I deal with a lot of people where their job is one of the biggest stressors in their life, and yet they don’t do anything to try and make that situation better. As a result, it keeps coming back,” she says. “There needs to be some strategies in place to address the triggers that are creating the stress because you can’t stop life. What we can address is our response to that stress.”

CAPOEIRA Martial arts meets music

By Jessie Dale hen Scott McBride brought capoeira to Bend, he viewed it as an opportunity to share his passion. McBride beams with excitement as he discusses the layered and rich art of capoeira, a form of martial arts that combines music, dance, acrobatics, community, and culture. If you’re looking for a way to stay alert physically and intellectually this winter, capoeira may be the answer.

Unlike traditional sparring in martial arts, meetings between two capoeiristas are called a “jogo de capoeira,” literally translated, a “game of capoeira.” While there are still active attacks, much of the practice is comprised of preventing, avoiding, and responding to your opponent in a playful, rhythmic, and fluid way.

McBride describes capoeira as a come-asyou-are activity that is joyful and challenging.

Anyone can begin, bringing with them their experiences in whatever element of capoeira they are drawn to. Some may have a background in gymnastics and be drawn to the acrobatic movements. Others will enjoy the

musical component of capoeira, either as musicians themselves, or as dancers. Many will appreciate the cultural history, which has origins in Brazil and roots to Africa through the Brazilian slave trade.

In fact, capoeira is believed to have begun as covert battle training for Brazilian slaves.

Wishing to be prepared for self-defense and physical combat, they cloaked their practice by pairing it with music, subversively beguiling slave owners into thinking they were only dancing.

Flavorful, rich, and fun, capoeira holds the potential to ignite a passion in those who commit to practicing it with patience and perseverance. McBride and his students say they love the energy and engagement they get while being physically challenged. Unlike chiseling away hours on a treadmill this winter, McBride and those who join the fun will enjoy the multifaceted arena of a workout rich in culture, music, and movement.

NEVER CHEW AGAIN Soylent wants to take the eating out of eating

By Jared Rasic

S

oylent is an ironic name for a food replacement company. Obviously the creator of the product has seen the film from 1973 called Soylent Green starring Charlton Heston.

The movie takes place in a dystopian future where most of humanity survives by eating processed foods including Soylent Green, made from super fresh human corpses.

Bob Rhinehart, a software engineer out of San Francisco, took his engineer brain and put it toward taking all of the pesky food preparation time out of eating, in order to create a more efficient energy source. Since 2013, he has raised more than $20 million in venture capitol to make Soylent, a product that ships only throughout the United States and Canada, not in resource-depleted countries.

According to the Soylent website, the product contains all the protein, fats, fibers, vitamins, and minerals that the human body needs to survive. Rhinehart himself has described the taste of Soylent as “minimal, broad, and non-specific.” Now that Soylent 2.0 has started shipping, the now pre-mixed food replacement supplement has some more flavor options and now more time can be saved by not even having to add water to your “meal.”

As of August 2015, watchdog group As You Sow is suing Soylent for not advertising the levels of lead and cadmium in the beverage. While the levels are well below FDA limits, since Soylent is advertised as a complete meal replacement, As You Sow views those levels as possibly harmful in that amount.

"At the first hint of a cold and congestion lie on your side and drip hydrogen peroxide in your ear using a Qtip...let it sit for about five minutes then switch sides. You'll hear crackles and your ear will have the under water sensation but it clears when you're upright. You can do this up to three times in one day. " ~ Joyce Valach Murphy

"Turmeric, honey, ginger tea for anti-inflammatory everything." ~ Shannon N Jimmy Sbarra

Benjamin Franklin said, “Eat to live, don’t live to eat” and, in some respects, that is a good point. Gluttony in any form is never a good thing, but viewing food as only fuel is also a boring and joyless way to live. Reducing something to fuel that can otherwise provide so much pleasure and benefit seems to miss the point of life itself, especially if the reason behind doing that is to become a more productive worker bee. Taking a half an hour or even an hour out of the day to just slow down and enjoy a meal can keep us sane and happy in ways that are completely unquantifiable. The connections we make with other humans over a good meal are, in turn, what keep us connected as members of humanity. But hey, at least this Soylent isn’t made out of people, I guess.

Dancing to the beat of their own golden egg-shaped drum

T

he Shook Twins, an up-and-coming Portland band, are coming through Central Oregon on their West Coast tour and bringing along their own style of folk music.

of the twins themselves. Their innately congruent voices meld together like milk and honey, and they drizzle this sweet concoction over the imaginative plucking of an eclectic array of instruments.

Identical twins Katelyn and Laurie Shook, originally from the Idaho panhandle, form the nucleus of the six-piece band. Electric guitarist Niko Daousiss and bassist Kyle Volkman round out the core quartet that usually takes the stage, while fiddle player Anna Tivel and drummer Russ Kleiner are a fundamental part of the group in the studio.

This range of instruments stretches from the acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin, banjo, and double bass to the violin, ukulele, glockenspiel, and various drums, including a studio kit and the magical, mystical golden egg. Laurie converted this curious piece of art into a functional instrument by filling it with corn kernels and sticking a contact mic to the outside.

The Egg, which can be played as a handdrum or as a giant, throwable shaker, is part of what distinguishes the Shook Twins as wholly unique.

As the band has matured musically, their sound has blossomed into a more complex, progressive blend of folk.

“We’ve changed a lot over the years,” says Katelyn. “After moving to Portland and being exposed to all these awesome indie-rock bands, we wanted to create more of that kind of sound.”

Their first album, You Can Have The Rest, released in 2008, falls more in line with traditional string-driven bluegrass and folk, while their 2011 followup, Mirror, represents their crossing the threshold into what Katelyn proudly calls “quirky folk.”

In their newest album, What We Do, the Shook Twins’ quirkiness has evolved into a rich and enchanting sound. At the heart of this sound are the vocal harmonies

Another signature element of their sound is the integration of electronics, such as a looping machine and a repurposed telephone microphone that gives Katelyn’s voice a faraway-sounding texture.

“I think we’re actually moving into that electronic vein even more lately,” she says.

One of the most popular tracks from their recent album is entitled “Shake.”

Katelyn calls it their “futuristic, apocalyptic gospel swing ballad.” The song tells the story of a farming couple, “a man of solid oak and his fine new bride,” who live through a catastrophic earthquake, and while fictional, the lyrics are of topical

interest to any residents of the Pacific Northwest. The earthquake is a reference to the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a seismologically-sensitive area stretching from Mendocino to Vancouver that scientists believe could be the site of a full-margin rupture, which would trigger an earthquake of devastating proportions, comparable to the one that shook the eastern coast of Japan in 2011.

The Chicago-based rock trio heads through Bend on their Northwest tour. After releasing their debut LP Seventy Cedar in January 2014, they sold out the House of Blues Chicago, opened for Crosses, and headed out on their first U.S. tour. The media has compared them to Led Zeppelin, but their sound is more similar to a classic lost ‘70s fuzz-rock band whose old recordings were found moldering in Willy Wonka’s basement. These fellas are going to be massive, sooner rather than later. 9 pm. Wednesday, Nov. 11. Astro Lounge, 939 NW Bond St.

A scary thought, indeed, but as Katelyn points out, “Ignorance is bliss, and if you think about this earthquake a lot, you’ll just live in fear. It’ll be crippling.” So for now, she, Laurie, and the rest of the band are focusing on their music and they will be working on a new album over the winter.

The Shook Twins, featuring Niko on bass and their good friend John Craigie on electric guitar, are playing at the Belfry in Sisters on Friday, Nov. 6.

“They’re both songwriters as well,” says Katelyn of Niko and John, “so we’ll be able to mix some of their songs into the set, which is always really fun for us.”

Craigie will also be opening up the show with a solo performance.

The Shook Twins 8 pm, Friday, Nov. 6 The Belfry, 302 E Main Ave., Sisters $15-$18

SHAFTY—A PHISH TRIBUTE Tribute bands are a fickle beast. The love for the source music has to be present or else everything can come across as kitschy or phony. Shafty walks that line perfectly because they’re just out to have fun jamming out and playing Phish tunes. No pretension, no BS, just noodling around on the guitar for 20 minutes at a stretch until all the different roads of a song have been taken. If you like Phish and you like cover bands, then this Phish cover band is just the thing for that improvisational hole in your heart. 9 pm. Friday, Nov. 6. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr. $8-$10.

VOLUME 19 ISSUE 45 / November 5, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

THE DIGGS The hometown three-piece band returns with their unique rock/soul sound. Always fueled by improvisation and easy vibes, The Diggs blends genres as easily as breathing, whether they are lounging around in the ‘50s or dropping some dance-hall reggae.

Rapping Ain’t Easy

Mac Miller wishes the world good morning

By Jared Rasic 23

Miller left Rostrum in 2014 and released his major label debut this September with Warner Bros. GO:OD AM sees Miller not necessarily free of his demons, but with his eyes and mind on the daylight around them. The opening stunner “Doors” (produced by Tyler, The Creator) has the line “Ain’t sayin’ that I’m sober, I’m just in a better place,” letting his fans know not to worry anymore, but that Mac is still gonna be Mac.

At the tender age of 15, Miller already knew he wanted to be a rapper.

“Once I hit 15, I got real serious about it and it changed my life completely,” he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2011. “I used to be into sports, play all the sports, go to all the high school parties. But once I found out hip-hop is almost like a job, that’s all I did.”

Right around that time he released his first mixtape under the name Easy Mac, and before his 20th birthday he was signed with Rostrum Records, the Pittsburgh indie label that was well known for being the home of Wiz Khalifa.

Obviously, since he was just a kid (and pretty much still is), these early mixtapes were immature and base, but they showed a definite spark, which led to him become an internet sensation almost overnight.

All of this helped him becoming one of the first independent artists to top the Billboard charts with a debut album.

Blue Slide Park started the trend of Miller maintaining a very loyal and vocal fan base in love with his nasal, mush-mouthed flow and surprisingly catchy beats, while being maligned critically with outfits like AllHipHop.com writing “it’s as if he hasn’t

found his sound yet.”

In 2013, he released Watching Movies With the Sound Off, easily one of the best hip-hop albums of the year, and a marked departure from his normal sound. With more abstract production, fearlessly autobiographical lyrics, and a definite im-

provement in his flow, the album did well commercially as well as critically.

The album has a cohesion to it (production this time by Larry Fisherman, a pseudonym for Miller) that makes the entire record greater than the sum of its parts. Bouncing between styles, rhyme

AM is a much more balanced record that still manages to be playful while also respecting the dark days he made it though.

The record goes down very smoothly, as easy listening as Miller can get, and while it doesn’t have the complexity of other 2015 hip-hop releases like Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly, Earl Sweatshirt’s I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside, or Vince Staples’ Summertime ‘06, GO:OD AM isn’t after that. It wants clarity after a long time spent in the darkness. Miller has earned that much.

P

schemes, and lyrical content, the album is a dark look into Miller’s growing depression, isolation, and addiction to purple drank. While there is still some immaturity (one of my favorite lyrics on the record is “I don’t act hard, I still read Babar... tripping out looking at a bunch of Google maps stars"), the beats are truly complex and make the album a fascinating mustown for hip-hop heads.

ittsburgh son Mac Miller has had an interesting career trajectory as a rapper in a very short amount of time. The 23-year old might only have three studio albums, but with almost a dozen mixtapes to his name, he is one of the most prolific emcees of the 21st century. With some of the biggest hip-hop names on the planet guest starring on his records, Miller has placed himself in a rarified air where his albums not only can’t be ignored, but are events in their own right.

CULTURE New Growth, Old Parts

Bend-based clothing company turns trash into treasure

ART WATCH

By Erin Rook

By Jared Rasic 35

Jenny Green has worked in many facets of the art world over the past 15 years, including art auction houses like the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, private galleries in London and Bend, and even a stint teaching art history at COCC.

Quickly becoming a local favorite, New Growth Clothing puts emphasis on sustainability and supporting local businesses. Photo courtesy of Dan Bruton.

B

rothers Dan and Derek Bruton are trying something different with New Growth Clothing. They are making the first U.S.-made technical winter jacket constructed from recycled bottles with help from the Kickstarter community.

Both brothers have a strong and enduring love of the outdoors, so they figured having an Oregon-made, eco-friendly jacket was they way to go.

The Kickstarter video doesn’t just go into the sustainability of these jackets, but also focuses on the national pride in knowing where your clothing comes from and buying local. It is the perfect storm of ideological stances that Oregonians are so passionate about.

The Source recently chatted with Dan Bruton about the company’s roots and aspirations.

Source Weekly: Tell me a little about how the company started.

Dan Bruton: Growing up in Bend, Oregon, my brother and I were constantly outdoors; skiing, skateboarding, camping, and fishing. This respect for our surroundings led us to create New Growth Clothing four years ago. We were tired of printing on clothing made in other countries without any pride or integrity, which also led to poor-quality products.

So we decided to manufacture all of our garments out of recycled and sustainable materials, here in Oregon.

SW: What do you hope to accomplish most with this company?

DB: We want to bring more jobs to Bend for our friends and people in the Bend community. As we grow, we hope Bend will grow with us creating a symbiotic re-

lationship between our company and the community around us. Our dream is to open a retail shop along with a warehouse so we can do everything here in Bend. We still have a ways to go, but nothing comes easy in the fashion clothing industry. We focus on maintaining organic growth by investing all our profits back into the company. We have no investors to rely on, just hard work and steady organic growth.

We want to be Oregon’s premier clothing line.

SW: Did you expect such a hubbub about the stickers that happened earlier this year? The accusations about “encouraging graffiti” must have been incredibly frustrating considering the whole purpose of your business.

DB: Yes, it was incredibly frustrating to hear people bad mouth and put down our company due to stickers placed around Bend. We in no way support vandalism or graffiti and that was not the goal when we hand out these free stickers. It’s simply a way to advertise and get our name out so people spread the word about our story and what we’re trying to accomplish. In all honesty, I’d rather see a local company’s sticker up around Bend instead of a Dutch Bros or another non-Bend-based company. In the end it was fine. People who didn’t know about us sent hate mail before they did any research on what we do or what we’re about as a company. The awesome part was that we had so much more positive feedback from our followers asking for more stickers and reinforcing that they support us and believe in our cause. The support from our New Growth family was overwhelming—without our fans, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

SW: How is the Kickstarter going?

DB: The Kickstarter campaign for our Oregon-made, eco-friendly jacket is going pretty well, as we are over 30 percent funded in nine days. We are currently at $13,000 and need to meet our goal of $35,000 in the next 24 days to make our dream a reality. It’s a nerve-racking wait knowing that it’s an all-or-nothing campaign. We’ve been receiving a lot of questions regarding when the jackets are available, so I don’t think many people understand that if we don’t reach our funding goal then nothing is made. Once we are successfully funded we can go into manufacturing these jackets in Oregon. If we fall short of our goal then we are left with thousands of parts to a jacket and no way to manufacture them.

SW: What do you want Bend to know about what you’re trying to do?

DB: We want more of Bend’s support, there are so many great local Bend companies and as a community we should be supporting the members of our community, right? We want to change the way the fast-fashion industry works by taking pride in what we can make here in Oregon. Passing on huge profit margins and cheap wages overseas, we want to bring jobs to Oregon and keep them here.

We want Bend to jump on our movement to help us prove it is possible to create clothing in the U.S. as sustainable as possible. We need Bend’s help in growing—with our growth so too will the jobs and availability to create other opportunities for us Bendites. So we ask Bend to join us in taking pride over profits.

“I have long dreamed of opening a gallery of this caliber. With the cultural explosion happening right now in Bend, the timing seemed right,” Green says in a release. “Being accepted into Aqua Art Miami, one of the pre-eminent international art fairs in the United States, served as a tremendous vote of confidence in my artists and my program.

I am honored to work with such talented artists to bring contemporary art to Bend residents and visitors, and to do so in a warm and inviting space.”

All the artists featured in the pop-up gallery show have one thing in common—dynamic use of color, texture, and form.

Artist Carlos Perez is a postmodern painter and sculptor who creates striking portraits that combine the Old Master styles with surreal, contemporary techniques.

Jennifer Hirshfield draws influence from Bay Area figurative painters and works nature's energy into her loose-stroked paintings of everything from plants to people.

KC Lockrem, a Bend-based artist, creates both bold abstracts and brightly-colored mixed-media pieces.

Lockrem also does collaborative work with her brother, award-winning photographer Brown Cannon III, creating whimsical pieces that combine powerful photography and surreal collage.

Whitney Nye uses a variety of media—inlcuding paint, wood, metal, and glass—to create emotive abstracts that explore a range of themes from liberty to patterns.

The pop-up gallery not only supports the artists featured in the show, it also gives back to emerging artists. Green says she will donate five percent of the exhibit’s proceeds to Caldera, which creates arts programming for youth in Central Oregon.

​First Friday Reception 5-9 pm, Friday, Nov. 6 Liberty Theater, 849 NW Wall St. Open for viewing 11 am-6 pm, Wednesday-Sunday. Through Nov. 31

end has a thriving art scene, but the works hanging on gallery walls tend to be in the same vein. Contemporary art more often comes to town via traveling art shows. For the next two months, Bend will be treated to the convergence of these two experiences—the Jenny Green Gallery, a pop-up show featuring contemporary West Coast art is headed for international art fairs later this winter.

T

hough Oregon is many thousands of miles away from Colombia, there are some common struggles. Namely, the impact of dams on indigenous and other communities who can no longer use the rivers in traditional ways. The Ríos Vivos Movement, a social movement of communities impacted by hydro-electric dams in Colombia, is joining forces with The Beehive Collective, an arts activist collective based out of Maine, to tour the Pacific Northwest, exploring dams’ impacts through art and storytelling.

The Source recently chatted with one member of that tour, who goes by the name Entre Aguas, about what the groups hope to accomplish, and why they’re taking a somewhat unconventional approach.

Source Weekly: Who and what is Pollinating Rios Vivos and why are you currently on tour?

Entre Aguas: It is a speaking and workshop tour that highlights the Ríos Vivos Movement of Colombia, the social movement of dam-impacted communities that struggle for the defense of their territories and rivers, the work of the Beehive's [cross-polination] process that collaborates with communities impacted by resource extraction in the use of arts, culture, and communications as strategies for land defense. [It will feature a] Beehive graphic of Mesoamérica Resiste, accompanied by photographs, short films, personal experiences, and stories about the communities in resistance we have been weaving relationships of mutual aid with over the last eight years in Colombia.

SW: How has the tour been thus far?

Follow Us on Instagram

@sourceweekly

EA: The tour has been incredible. We have had the opportunity to share in a variety of communities with all sorts of people including universities, house parties, restaurants, community centers, indigenous communities, and resistance struggles.

SW: How have you and the other members found your way into doing something like this?

EA: Most members of the Beehive Collective were already social and environmental justice activists with a interest in art and dynamic learning processes, and who saw the strength of exploring complex global issues through graphic art as a cross-cultural communication and educational strategy.

Members of the Ríos Vivos Movement in Colombia all come from communities impacted by the construction of hydroelectric dams. We struggle to stop the creation of new dams, the taking down of the already existing dams, and change in the energy and extraction model that is being imposed globally.

SW: What is the motivation of Pollinating Ríos Vivos and what are the goals?

EA: The motivation of Pollinating Ríos Vivos is to create awareness about land and river defense struggles in Colombia as well as build relationships of solidarity and mutual aid with other land and river defense struggles along our tour route, as well as to fundraise for a cultural direct action and research tour across all the dam-impacted communities in Colombia.

SW: What should people expect to see at the show and what do you hope they will take away from it?

EA: People should expect to see the large cloth banners of the Beehive's latest graphic campaign, Mesoamérica Resiste, as well as original photographs, maps, and videos from frontline land-defense processes in Colombia.

Madras’ Great Earth shines in Passport to Bounty

By Jon Paul Jones 37 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 45 / November 5, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

estled amid some of Central Oregon’s most productive farmland, Troy Boyd and her husband Garry discovered a lack of natural food stores in Madras upon their arrival in the early 1990s. So they endeavored to do something about it.

“We wanted to start the business in order to offer healthy and organic food to Madras, because there were a lack of available quality food options in the area,” Troy explains.

The Boyds opened Great Earth Bakery and Market in 1996, in a somewhat obscure spot in downtown, with a paltry 960 square feet to work with.

“We did collaborative work with Great Harvest Bakery in Bend,” Troy says. “We would have to drive to Bend frequently to pickup bread, and then drive back to Madras to make and sell sandwiches.”

A lack of space, a hard-to-visualize business location, and growing pains were just the beginning of what would prove to be a tumultuous journey. In the midst of the economic downturn, Garry was struck by a car en route to a business meeting in Madras. He survived with “significant” injuries and life—and work—as they knew it changed.

“The road to recovery has been difficult for us,” Troy says, “both in terms of Garry’s accident, and the business as a whole.”

But neither of them wanted to throw in the towel, and they have pushed forward and overcome once again, as they continue establishing their brand of healthy and community-centric foodie goodness.

Today, they serve as a natural foods store, a café, and a catering company. Great Earth’s menus feature many locally-sourced ingredients with options including homemade breakfasts, paninis, and smoothies. The Boyds have also been branching out by hosting special events in their space, such as lecture series on the history of Madras.

The humble Madras location of Great Earth was chosen

by Portland Executive Chef Gregory Gourdet (Departure Restaurant) to represent one of the seven wonders.

“We are excited and honored to be chosen as a destination

by Chef Gourdet,” Troy said in a release. “The Passport to Bounty is a fun way to encourage travelers to look for some great dining opportunities in our rural areas and smaller towns.”

Their now-iconic role in the community was recently recognized by Travel Oregon, which included Great Harvest in its “Passport to Bounty” campaign, part of the larger “7 Wonders of Oregon” campaign, which many people mistook for an official designation.

Not just a catchy name, the Passport involves collecting stickers at each of the participating locations—each of the Seven Wonders has a few. The other Painted Hills stops are Smudgie Goose Farm and Roan Coffee Co. Closer to Bend, Smith Rock State Park is represented by Terrebonne Depot, Sisters Bakery, and Crux Fermentation Project.

Travel Oregon calls Great Earth a “regional must-see food attraction” in a release, saying it’s one of three places tourists should stop while visiting nearby “Wonder,” the Painted Hills.

Great Earth Café and Market

Now located in a larger downtown spot, Great Earth has better customer access, visual recognition, and a significantly more room to move around. The wide-open space fills with the smell of fresh-baked (gluten-free and gluten-full) bread, and the shabby-chic décor lends a friendly, positive vibe.

Pyrate Punx:

t’s a little hard to believe, considering all the news from 10 Barrel Brewing Company over the past year, that they’re still only going to produce about 25,000 barrels of beer in 2015—a tiny percentage of Deschutes Brewery’s output. If current trends continue, though, those numbers might rapidly approach each other soon.

At a press event held at their production facility in northeast Bend, founders Jeremy and Chris Cox revealed what’s been going on since their sale to Anheuser Busch-InBev last November.

To sum up, it’s been a lot. Blessed with the equivalent of an eccentric rich uncle bankrolling them—a.k.a. Andy Goeler, CEO of craft beer ops at InBev—the Cox brothers have been aggressively investing, building a brand-new quality control lab, and expanding distribution from the Northwest to California, Colorado, and parts of Nevada. Production at the current plant will eventually max out at 70,000 barrels a year, and—as predicted in this column a year ago—10 Barrel’s also borrowing some of InBev’s hardware, jointly brewing this year’s batch of Pray for Snow at the Budweiser facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. (Don’t expect this to be the norm, though—as brewmaster Jimmy Seifrit explained, Bud’s mega-plants aren’t set up to brew

hop-forward beers very well.)

To further fuel this expansion, 10 Barrel plans to build a new production facility adjacent to their current one in Bend, in what’s now a vacant lot. The 50,000-square foot plant, which will also feature a tasting room, will eventually expand their capacity to 120,000 barrels, or approximately the amount Deschutes sold in 2005. Another brewpub location is set to open in Denver soon, and Jeremy also discussed plans to expand the pub business into California sometime in the future. (The much-delayed rooftop deck in the Portland location is still in the works, too, with an opening slated for spring 2016.)

These are all fancy numbers, of course, but what about the beer? There’s heady news on that front, too: Starting next April, 10 Barrel will start releasing their Crush line of sour, fruity beers—the brainchild of research brewer Tonya Cornett—in clear 11-ounce stubby bottles, starting with Cucumber Crush and later moving on with raspberry, lemon, and strawberry varieties. Cornett also announced plans to release a cider next spring as well, a project she’s been working on for the past two years; expect it to be dry and, as Cornett put it, “as approachable as possible”.

Northwest Climate Mysteries: Past, Present, and Future What do glaciers, grasslands, and your yetto-be born grandchildren all have in common? Climate change has already shaped them all. Dr. Philip Mote, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute and professor in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University will explain how we have tracked climate change through the ages. Fortunately, the lecture also features a no-host bar to help dull the sharp reality of our climatic situation. 6 pm, Saturday, Nov. 7. Members $3, non-members $5, RSVP: highdesertmuseum.org/rsvp.

resting the top of a well-groomed trail in 1971 to a breath-taking view of a snow bound expanse in Northern Idaho, I had no idea how popular the sport of snowmobiling would become. According to the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association, snowmobilers generate more than $34 billion dollars of economic activity in North America annually. Here in Central Oregon, snowmobiling has become a major tourist draw and is a popular pastime for locals, as well.

Vera Riser says her non-profit group will groom up to 3,500 miles of trails in a good snow year and is looking forward to using a new trail groomer they received this year. The average snowmobile user rarely sees the work performed on the trails by the group’s nearly 100 volunteers. This is because most trail grooming is conducted at night so the trails are fresh for users the next morning. As many as 800-1,000 snowmobilers will use the trails on a good snow day.

In the Mt. Bachelor area, there are more than 250 miles of trails maintained by the volunteers of Central Oregon Snowbusters, Inc. According to Vera Riser, who acts as president of the group, there are nearly 18,000 snowmobiles in Oregon and approximately 6,500 miles of trails in the state. The sport contributes to a robust outdoor economy in Oregon that, according to Travel Oregon, has reached $10 billion in annual consumer spending, employing more than 100,000 Oregonians.

Many of us have traveled the well-maintained trails along Century Drive from Wanoga Park around the base of Mt. Bachelor down to Elk Lake where the beer is cold and the soup is hot for snowmobilers who venture to the Elk Lake Resort.

On a clear day the landscape is breathtaking, providing photo ops and memories.

Looking up from Dutchman Flat to Mt. Bachelor or west to the Three Sisters provides winter views few others will ever see.

Central Oregon Snowbusters is part of a larger umbrella organization, the Oregon State Snowmobile Association, formed in 1972 to promote “better, safer, and more scenic trails.” The group works in collaboration with the National Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Transportation to maintain this system of trails.

Statewide, there are 27 clubs, of which the Central Oregon Snowbusters is one.

Central Oregon Snowbusters, Inc. also works hard within the sport to promote safety and respect for the natural surroundings. Staying on designated trails and confining activity to user areas, obeying trail signs, and respecting other recreational interests is critical not only to the safety of all, but to the preservation of cherished Central Oregon habitat.

The group has a 20-point “Rules of the Road” document that can be viewed

online. Many of the rules are common sense items such as “do not follow closely behind snow groomers,” “adjust speed to visibility,” and “look out for cross-country skiers, sled dog teams, ATVs, and groomers.” Knowing the area in which one is riding seems pretty straightforward, but as the sport grows along with the number of first-time drivers, these fundamentals are critical to all.

The group also promotes safety classes, which are held on the second Saturday of each month beginning November 12 through March 10. These classes are held at the Sheriff ’s Special Services Building – Search & Rescue Center.

Central Oregon Snowbusters is also proud of its ongoing involvement with “Candlelighters,” a program that raises funds for children with cancer. The group says it has raised thousands of dollars for young cancer victims and stages events on their behalf.

As we head toward the winter months, we’re all hoping for plenty of snow—not only for the sake of our water needs, but also for the vitality of the Bend outdoor economy. If a snowmobile trip in the Mt. Bachelor area is in the future, remember the volunteers who help make the experience fun and safe for everyone—the Central Oregon Snowbusters.

If you have ever driven through the vast, seemingly-unlikely farmlands of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho and wondered how they came to be, this is the lecture for you. Environmental historian, professor, and author Dr. Andrew Duffin will explain the geologic events that made the Palouse region ripe for agricultural development and how that development has shaped today’s environmental outlook (Spoiler: You’ll be glad there’s a bar).

Talk begins at 7 pm, doors open at 5:30 pm. Tuesday, Nov. 10. McMenamins Old St. Francis School Father Luke’s Room. These talks always reach capacity so RSVP is required at: highdesertmuseum.org/rsvp.

Fire Ecology This lecture lacks booze, but I can personally endorse it, as I paid significantly more than a $10 fee to take a Wildland Fire Ecology class from Dr. John Bailey at Oregon State University and it was worth every last penny. Also, it’s a great one to bring the kiddos. Dr. Bailey will take participants for an interactive walk throughout the ponderosa pine and sage communities on museum grounds to learn about the history and future of fire management as well as their effects on climate change. Lecture-goers will get to explore a controlled-burn site.

10 am-noon. Saturday, Nov. 14. High Desert Museum 59800 S. Hwy 97. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Paired pricing for one adult and one child. Members $10, non-members $15. Each additional participant $5.

Hanks For the Memories Spielberg aims small, strikes big

By Jared Rasic 45 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 45 / November 5, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Tom Hanks stars in Bridge of Spies directed by Steven Spielberg.

W

hen it comes to the film obsessed, movie geek and critic crowds, there is a divide surrounding the majority of Steven Spielberg’s work. A steadily growing chunk believes that he is a softy that always lets sentimentality overwhelm his work, especially in the final reel, while some (and the majority of the public) think he makes damn entertaining movies, regardless of content. I tend to fall into the second camp, although I still have trust issues after Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Bridge of Spies won’t move anyone from one camp to another, but it shouldn’t need to. It is an excellent film with almost flawless pacing, excellent performances, and a ‘50s Technicolor aesthetic to Janusz Kaminski’s cinematography that will give the movie legs for years to come. It’s not quite a masterpiece, but will sit comfortably somewhere in the upper-middle level of Spielberg’s filmography.

Bridge of Spies tells the true story of James

Donovan, an insurance lawyer who is asked by the United States government to take on the case of Rudolf Abel, a Brooklyn man arrested as a Soviet spy in 1957.

The government wants to be seen as giving the man a fair trail, even if the verdict is pretty tightly sewn up when it comes to the desired outcome.

It is not a mystery whether Abel is a spy.

The excitement and intensity come from the second half of the film, which I won’t spoil here, except to say that Donovan must travel to East Berlin during the height of the Cold War and enter into some serious negotiations. The film isn’t easily classified as a spy thriller, although there are definitely shadowy figures following our man in the rain and some interesting looks into mid-century spy craft. The film is instead mostly a series of backroom negotiations and courtroom monologues, an inside baseball look at politics and espionage that in lesser hands could have been stuffy and interminable. Fortunately,

Bridge of Spies has a few secret weapons up its sleeve.

First and foremost, Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance are perfection as Donovan and Abel, respectively, with Rylance all but guaranteeing himself a Best Supporting Actor nomination. His Soviet spy is instantly captivating, with Rylance adding the slyest bit of humor to the man so he is instantly empathetic. Hanks continues to prove why he is this generation’s Jimmy Stewart with an effortless performance of intelligence and nuanced grace. None of this film works if we don’t care about James Donovan, and Spielberg was brilliant in casting the one actor it is impossible not to care about. Secondly, the script

by Matt Charman and the Coen Brothers is taut and surprisingly funny. There are scenes that could be directly lifted from a Coen Brothers. movie without changing a word. Everything they put their words to comes across as intelligent and flawlessly executed (except for maybe Intolerable Cru-

elty), and Bridge of Spies proves that their words can work in the hands of another filmmaker. Plus, Spielberg is smart enough to not put his stamp too heavily on the film by getting out of the way of the script and performances.

Bridge of Spies has some issues in the third act, with a surplus of endings, Lord of the Rings-style, and it lays on some of Spielberg’s trademark sentimentality when a little subtlety would have worked just as well. But small flaws aside (the wasting of the always-excellent Amy Ryan is another), the film is a rousing affair that provides an intelligent and thought-provoking night at the cinema.

Handsome Chef: The Movie Burnt can’t even make food porn hot

Bradley Cooper plays Adam Jones in the romantic comedy Burnt.

T

here is this new term that is being used to describe media that is either uncomfortably sexist or homophobic.

The word is “problematic,” which Urban Dictionary says is “frequently used in progressive political settings among white people of a certain education to avoid using herd-frightening words like ‘racist’ or ‘sexist.’” But problematic can also be used to describe almost every aspect of this movie from the ground up.

who uses this knowledge to run roughshod all over him and engage in some fairly emotionally abusive behavior. Late in the film, (SPOILERS) when something good goes his way, Adam gives Tony a pretty luxurious kiss, which Tony then thanks him for. Tony is handsome, successful, and a personable and pleasant human being. His thank you for what is really a manipulative kiss from a straight dude is problematic and condescending at best.

Burnt tells the tale of handsome chef Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper), a two star Michelin-rated chef who imploded with drugs and alcohol and lost everything. So he leaves Paris and moves to New Orleans, where he refuses to leave until he has done his penance: shucking one million oysters. Since he is (of course) a tough, leather jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding chef, once he shucks his millionth shell, he walks out of his job without turning around or saying a word. Nice penance, asshole.

The straight romance is almost worse.

Cooper’s American Sniper co-star Sienna Miller is Helene, Adam’s underling that he mentally (and almost physically) abuses on a daily basis. Adam is always yelling, cold and unfeeling, or smashing stuff, so even though this film is a food porn redemption story, we never grow to care enough about Adam and his abusive relationships with people to hope he’ll get over himself.

He moves to London and reconnects with everyone in his life that he screwed over or betrayed, including a guy Adam was so mad at that he released rats into his restaurant and then called the health inspector. Handsome chef assembles a team he likes and then bullies his way into running his old friend Tony’s kitchen. Tony is played by the excellent Daniel Bruhl (Rush), who is in love with handsome chef,

For the entire main plot of the film to be focused on Adam’s journey, not enough time is spent on Adam himself. The absolutely paint-by-numbers script follows every single cliché in the redemption arc handbook without ever actually letting us understand his subtext. Other characters talk about his rough childhood, but it is window dressing on an already rotten facade.

But here is the thing: Most of the people who go to see Burnt are not after a

character study. This film is marketed to people who like “MasterChef ” and the antics of Gordon Ramsay or people who want handsome chef, a romantic dramedy starring Bradley Cooper. The food porn is decent (even though none of it looks like it would be filling) and might please the amateur gourmand, but the romance makes Sienna Miller into plot contrivance.

Her performance is strong (as is Cooper’s), but a script that tells us how similar they are without showing us is a failure.

Burnt is a problematic movie that pretends decency. The film has good performances, is well paced, and is almost always entertaining on a base level, but it is also insulting to a degree. It doesn’t need to aspire to being a character drama, but any good drama has characters we want to see grow and change and succeed. I felt so insulted by the film that even after all the delicious gourmet food it made the audience drool over, I still drove to McDonalds and got a McMuffin at 10 in the damned evening. Now that’s drama.

Burnt

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic 99 HOMES: A topical drama starring Michael Shannon and Andrew Garfield that focuses on an evicted father getting revenge on the greedy real estate broker that is behind his troubles. Advanced word on the film isn’t great, but Michael Shannon is always worth watching, even in dreck. His performances are always unhinged enough to make everything fairly unpredictable. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX

BURNT: Bradley Cooper plays handsome chef, a Michelin star-winning restauranteur who loses everything and decides to start from scratch. With the surprising success of last year’s Chef, the time is ripe to take a darker and more serious look at the highstress career of making food pretty while also tasting good. Cooper appears to be channeling his inner Gordon Ramsay and it looks like it works. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CRIMSON PEAK: Guillermo del Toro has had a rough few years with the underwhelming critical and financial success of Pacific Rim and having to leave The Hobbit films before production began. But now del Toro goes back to the genre that made him famous with a gothic horror film starring Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX GOOSEBUMPS 3D: Jack Black plays R.L. Stine, the author of the 200+ series of kidoriented Goosebumps horror novels. When all of the monsters from his stories escape the pages and jump into the real world, he must team up with some wily kids to capture them all over again. Count me in! Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GRANDMA: Lily Tomlin is a riot in this dramedy about the choices we make when it comes to family and how those choices change our paths in life. When Tomlin’s granddaughter comes to her for money to help her procure an abortion, what follows is a funny and bittersweet examination of a flawed woman’s life in a fairly non-judgmental fashion. Highly recommended. Tin Pan Theater

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 3D: While the first one has its moments, Adam Sandler isn’t having a great year and this animated sequel will most likely follow that trend. In this one, Dracula has a brand new grandson, who disappointingly isn’t showing any monster tendencies. No matter what, it won’t be worse than Pixels. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE INTERN: Robert De Niro grows bored with retirement and becomes the intern of Anne Hathaway, the CEO of an online fashion magazine. Of course he doesn’t like computers or technology, which makes perfect sense for him to work for an online magazine because it's a comedy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS: So, this is based off of that cartoon that your 30-year old women watched when they were kids, except now it looks sad and terrible and like it might be missing the whole point of the animated series. A group of young women go from being an internet sensation to overnight rock stars while also dealing with an angry Juliette Lewis trying to protect some crazy secret. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE MARTIAN: Matt Damon plays Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded on Mars alone, figuring out how to survive until help can (possibly) come for him. Prepare for this to be a smash hit the size of Gravity, but with better science, acting, and storyline. The book is a classic and advanced word says the film reaches those same heights. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX

OUR BRAND IS CRISIS: Sandra Bullock decides to help a different minority in Our Brand is Crisis. This time instead of helping a homeless African-American football player, she is a campaign manager for a Bolivian politician. When it starts looking like her guy doesn’t win the election then the region could erupt in violence and chaos, she takes the election seriously and fights for reasons other than her pride. With director David Gordon Green behind the lens, this film should be much better than the trailers make it seem.

PAN: Cashing in on America’s love of an origin story, Pan tells the story of Peter as a boy discovering Neverland, not as a pansexual demigod/ruler of lost children. With direction from Joe Wright (Atonement, Hanna), the film should at least look very pretty, regardless of possible dubious content. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS: The always delightful Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows) plays a newly-single father of twin daughters struggling to balance parenting with keeping his free-spirited life intact.

From the director of the underrated The Winning Season, People, Places, Things should be a light and heartwarming crowd-pleaser.

ROCK THE KASBAH: Already being hailed as the absolute bottom of Bill Murray’s career, Rock the Kasbah follows a struggling promoter as he takes his latest act to Afghanistan since he can’t get them booked anywhere in the States or Europe.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX STEVE JOBS: The excellent Michael Fassbender takes on a delicious script by Aaron Sorkin ("West Wing," Social Network) and genius director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later). While the subject matter has been tackled quite a bit, this huge amount of talent should make for an engrossing and electrifying experience. Expect to be educated, as well as entertained.

BRIDGE OF SPIES: Steven Spielberg’s first film since the masterful Lincoln sees Tom Hanks as an American lawyer recruited by the CIA during the cold war. While Spielberg’s 2000’s output has been stronger than he gets credit for, a re-teaming with Tom Hanks for a spy thriller seems like just the thing to get the critics back on his side.

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER: Vin Diesel is out to prove he can carry a franchise without “Fast” in the title, plus if The Last Witch Hunter does well, Vinnie has a chance to get funding for a new Riddick adventure. Diesel plays the last witch hunter, who is all that is protecting humanity from the occult forces of doom. The trailers are scarily reminiscent of the dreadful Seventh Son, but Diesel’s weird presence might carry the day. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

—Burned Tales from your PTSD support group: THEM: “I was held captive with a burlap bag over my head and beaten with electrical cords.”

YOU: “I’m right there with you, bro.

This dude I was dating told me his Ferrari was paid for, and it turned out to be leased!”

YOU: “My boyfriend pretended he was buying a mansion, but he really lives with his parents.”

THEM: “That’s terrible. Can you help me put on my prosthetic leg?”

Sure, according to Pat Benatar, “love is a battlefield.” But spending three months fighting with a sociopathic boyfriend doesn’t leave you ducking for cover whenever a car backfires like a guy who did three tours of IED disposal in Iraq and came home with most of the parts he went in with. Ofer Zur, a psychologist who specializes in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, explains, “To meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, the stressor experienced must involve actual or threatened death or serious injury.”

What you did experience is called “gaslighting,” a covert form of psychological bullying that leaves you doubting your perception of reality and, eventually, accepting the bully’s distorted, self-serving version. So, for example, when you question your partner on something—like their work, education, or finances—instead of doing the civilized, healthy-person thing and giving you an answer, they blast you for daring to insult them by asking. (People who are cheating will often do this.) Day after day, as they treat you like you’re nuts, blind, or dumb, your self-worth erodes and you feel less and less able to trust your judgment—to the point where you start using all the red flags as carwash towels.

The thing is, gaslighting isn’t like an alien spaceship with a giant vacuum hose,

To your credit, you had a strong enough self that you eventually crawled up through the romantic cloud cover and did some late-night Internet snake-hunting. Though you’ve given your reptile the boot (or perhaps upcycled him into a handbag), your fear of being scammed again has you going all Inspector Javert on every slightly shifty-eyed co-worker.

Consider that you’re reacting to the romantic con job as if it happened randomly, like a roast chicken falling out of a private jet and cracking you on the head.

To stop wildly flinging suspicion around, accept responsibility: Admit that you got duped because you wanted to believe more than you wanted to see.

Granted, it isn’t always easy to identify the liars. (You can’t just keep an eye out for those telltale pants on fire.) Stern, however, offers good advice to avoid getting taken in by gaslighters and other pathologically inventive hustlers. Instead of debating them on whether a particular piece of information is right or wrong, focus on your feelings. Ask yourself: “Do I like being treated this way…talked to this way?”

And though you don’t have PTSD, you might take a page out of Zur’s playbook—his notion that we heal from bad experiences by creating a narrative that gives them meaning for the future. You, for example, could use this experience as a giant Post-it note reminding you to take a relationship slowly, meet a person’s circle of friends, and see who they are over time—instead of immediately declaring that you’ve found the love of the century. If you’re going to have a fairy-tale relationship, it shouldn’t be because little or nothing in it exists in real life.

I was dating a sociopathic compulsive liar for three months. I had a gut feeling that he was lying about his work, education, and finances, but I had no real proof. This allowed him to manipulate me and convince me that I was crazy, insecure, and paranoid. Finally, through Internet searches and contact with his ex-wife, I got proof and confronted him. Though I dumped him, I’ve become super-edgy and suspicious that everyone’s lying to me. I even accused a co-worker of stealing my phone. I think the stress this guy put me through probably caused PTSD. How does one move on after dating a sociopath?

sucking in any person in its path. It’s the need for outside validation that makes a person susceptible, explains psychologist Robin Stern in The Gaslight Effect.

Another risk factor is an overvaluing of romantic love—seeing it as a magical eraser for life’s problems and a way to duck out of the grubby work of developing a self. Believing the unbelievable is the price of maintaining a relationship that seems “more intense, more glamorous, and more special.” This is basically selling yourself out for love—though all you really have is a snake charmer and a snake, all in one basket, with a boyfriend face taped across the front.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are slipping into a phase when new teachers are likely to appear. That’s excellent news, because the coming weeks will also be a time when you especially need new teachings. Your good fortune doesn’t end there. I suspect that you will have an enhanced capacity to learn quickly and deeply. With all these factors conspiring in your favor, Capricorn, I predict that by January 1, you will be smarter, humbler, more flexible, and better prepared to get what you want in 2016.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): American author Mark Twain seemed to enjoy his disgust with the novels of Jane Austen, who died 18 years before he was born.

“Her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy,” he said, even as he confessed that he had perused some of her work multiple times. “Every time I read Pride and Prejudice,” he wrote to a friend about Austen’s most famous story, “I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.” We might ask why he repetitively sought an experience that bothered him. I am posing a similar question to you, Aquarius. According to my analysis, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to renounce, once and for all, your association with anything or anyone you are addicted to disliking.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Sahara in

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Regard the current tensions and detours as camouflaged gifts from the gods of growth. You’re being offered a potent opportunity to counteract the effects of a self-sabotage you committed once upon a time. You’re getting an excellent chance to develop the strength of character that can blossom from dealing with soul-bending riddles. In fact, I think you’d be wise to feel a surge of gratitude right now. To do so will empower you to take maximum advantage of the disguised blessings.

Northern Africa is the largest hot desert on the planet. It’s almost the size of the United States.

Cloud cover is rare, the humidity is low, and the temperature of the sand can easily exceed 170º F. (80º C.). That’s why it was so surprising when snow fell there in February of 1979 for the first time in memory. This once-in-a-lifetime visitation happened again 33 years later. I’m expecting a similar anomaly in your world, Pisces. Like the desert snow, your version should be mostly interesting and only slightly inconvenient. It may even have an upside. Saharan locals testified that the storm helped the palm trees because it killed off the parasites feeding on them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1978, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield began selling their new ice cream out of a refurbished gas station in Burlington, Vermont. Thirty-seven years later, Ben & Jerry’s is among the world’s best-selling ice cream brands. Its success stems in part from its willingness to keep transforming the way it does business. “My mantra is ‘Change is a wonderful thing,’” says the current CEO. As evidence of the company’s intention to keep re-evaluating its approach, there’s a “Flavor Graveyard” on its website, where it lists flavors it has tried to sell but ultimately abandoned. “Wavy Gravy,” “Tennessee Mud,” and “Turtle Soup” are among the departed. Now is a favorable time for you to engage in a purge of your own, Aries. What parts of your life don’t work any more? What personal changes would be wonderful things?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Before he helped launch Apple Computer in the 1970s, tech pioneer Steve Wozniak ran a dial-a-joke service.

Most of the time, people who called got an au-

tomated recording, but now and then Wozniak answered himself. That’s how he met Alice Robertson, the woman who later became his wife.

I’m guessing you will have comparable experiences in the coming weeks, Taurus. Future allies may come into your life in unexpected ways. It’s as if mysterious forces will be conspiring to connect you with people you need to know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Small, nondestructive earthquakes are common. Our planet has an average of 1,400 of them every day. This subtle underground mayhem has been going on steadily for millions of years. According to recent research, it has been responsible for creating 80 percent of the world’s gold. I suspect that the next six or seven months will feature a metaphorically analogous process in your life.

You will experience deep-seated quivering and grinding that won’t bring major disruptions even as it generates the equivalent of gold deposits. Make it your goal to welcome and even thrive on the subterranean friction!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here’s the process I went through to create your horoscope. First I drew up a chart of your astrological aspects.

Using my analytical skills, I pondered their meaning. Next, I called on my intuitive powers, asking my unconscious mind to provide symbols that would be useful to you. The response I got from my deeper mind was surprising: It informed me that I should go to a new cafe that had just opened downtown. Ten minutes later, I was there, gazing at a menu packed with exotic treats: Banana Flirty Milk . . . Champagne Coconut Mango Slushy . . . Honey Dew Jelly Juice . . . Creamy Wild Berry Blitz . . . Sweet Dreamy Ginger Snow. I suspect these are metaphors for experiences that are coming your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Beatles’ song “You Never Give Me Your Money” has this poignant lyric: “Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go.” I suggest you make it your motto for now. And if you have not yet begun to feel the allure of that sentiment, initiate the necessary shifts to get yourself in the mood. Why? Because it’s time to recharge your spiritual battery, and the best way to do that is to immerse yourself in the mystery of having nothing to do and nowhere to go. Put your faith in the pregnant silence, Leo. Let emptiness teach you what you need to know next.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Should a professional singer be criticized for her lack of skill in laying bricks? Is it reasonable to chide a kindergarten teacher for his ineptitude as an airplane pilot? Does it make sense to complain about a cat’s inability to bark? Of course not. There are many other unwarranted comparisons that are almost as irrational but not as obviously unfair.

Is it right for you to wish your current lover or best friend could have the same je ne sais quoi as a previous lover or best friend? Should you try to manipulate the future so that it’s more like the past? Are you justified in demanding that your head and your heart come to identical conclusions? No, no, and no. Allow the differences to be differences. And more than that: Celebrate them!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the mid-19th century, an American named Cyrus McCormick patented a breakthrough that had the potential to revolutionize agriculture. It was a mechanical reaper that harvested crops with far more ease and efficiency than hand-held sickles and scythes. But his innovation didn’t enter into mainstream use for 20 years. In part that was because many farmers were skeptical of trying a new technology, and feared it would eliminate jobs. I don’t foresee you having to wait nearly as long for acceptance of your new wrinkles, Libra.

But you may have to be patient.

TAKE ME HOME What First-time Homebuyers Should Know

53 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 45 / November 5, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Corinne Boyer

f you’ve finally made the decision to purchase your first home, make sure your first stop includes a consultation with a mortgage broker.

“Typically when somebody is going home shopping, the first step for somebody is to see what they qualify for,” says David Blackmon, a loan officer with North Pacific Financial Corporation.

Knowing what type of loan you qualify for can help narrow your search so you aren’t looking for houses outside of your price range, he says. Getting preapproved will determine which loans first-time buyers qualify for. First-time home-loan options include:

-Government backed loan: Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan, which allows buyers to pay a 3.5 percent down payment on their first home.

-Conventional loan: Fannie May and Freddie Mac lenders allows first-time buyers to pay 3 percent down.

-Portfolio loan: If you are purchasing a home that costs more than $417,000 dollars, then a jumbo loan would be a first-time home financing option.

In addition to traditional loan options, there are also state and national grant programs and subsidies available based

on the demographics of a costumer, says Blackmon. Another option: “The Oregon Bond loan program provides tax-exempt revenue bonds to finance below-marketrate mortgage loans for qualified firsttime homebuyers,” Blackmon says.

Neighborhood Housing Services is another great option for a first-time homebuyer.

“Those grants or subsidies can help people who don’t have enough saved up for a down payment,” Blackmon says. Additional programs can provide funding for closing costs as well. Those are all factors mortgage brokers are looking for when first-time homebuyers are going through the prequalification process. Working with a broker helps look at a wide range of programs and options to ensure that first-time buyers are getting the best deal.

In Bend, the market-rate housing can be a problem for first-time buyers.

“Affordability is the biggest issue that we see for first, second, and third time homebuyers; it’s harder for people to qualify if prices are higher,” Blackmon says. However when searching for a home, keep in mind that, as he says, “there’s such a diversity of loan options— they can really help make even a large mortgage affordable.”

ometimes it seems like November 2016 is a long way off, as the presidential race grinds on and on like a never-ending clown show. But this presidential race has big implications for the pace of the ongoing cannabis legalization revolution. Two recent developments on both sides of the aisle are particularly significant.

Pennsylvania, and Florida, support for cannabis legalization is more popular than any 2016 presidential candidate.

That is an admittedly low bar, but the numbers show huge leaps for cannabis.

More than 80 percent of adults in these states support medical marijuana, and bare majorities support legalizing small amounts of cannabis for personal use.

The first is the revelation that is Bernie Sanders. Last week, he became the first major presidential candidate—ever— to call for the federal government to remove cannabis from its list of dangerous drugs. Since 1972, federal law has stated that cannabis is dangerous and has “no currently accepted medical use.” This is a joke, of course, and has laid bare the obvious prohibitionist bias in federal cannabis policy for all to see.

Even the Republican presidential candidates seem to realize that thumping their chest about the War on Drugs will no longer help them win an election. In their debate in—of all places—Boulder, Colorado last week, almost all of the Republican candidates said they would not pursue enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act against cannabis businesses in states where it has been legalized.

There have been many attempts to “reschedule” cannabis over the years. The first petition was filed the same year the law was passed and remained in court for 22 years. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has subsequently denied other petitions, but according to the DEA it has asked the Food and Drug Administration to study whether cannabis should be downgraded on the “dangerousness” scale.

This is enormously significant because the nascent cannabis market and businesses in Colorado, Washington, and Oregon are hanging by a legal thread.

These businesses currently are allowed to operate under a Department of Justice memorandum that tells U.S. Attorneys not to interfere with cannabis businesses so long as they are adhering to the basic requirements set out in the memo, which includes things like not selling across state lines.

But Sanders has gone a step further than calling for rescheduling. He called for removal of cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act’s list of dangerous drugs altogether, where it would join alcohol and tobacco. This would be a titanic achievement. It would allow states to legalize cannabis without fear of interference from the federal government, and it would allow cannabis businesses to use banking services and conduct business without having to transport large volumes of cash or worry about federal criminal charges.

But this isn’t just the dream of a “kooky socialist,” as the media often likes to pretend. According to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in March, in the three key swing states of Ohio,

Any new Republican president could instantly reverse this policy and direct federal prosecutors to begin enforcing the law again. This would be like shooting fish in a barrel now that these businesses have storefronts and state corporate registrations. All of the billions invested in the cannabis industry would instantly be lost and the black market would again flourish in places like Oregon. But with a majority of Americans nationwide now supporting full legalization, this would be an unpopular policy. And Republicans candidates are making the possibility seem remote. Of course, no politician ever does the opposite of what is promised during the election, right?
