After more than 40 years in Bend, I have pulled the plug and moved to the rain forest of western Oregon, Portland to be exact.

And lo and behold, guess what I find? All the problems of Bend have followed me here: overcrowding, overpricing, too much traffic, overstressing, lack of affordable housing, abundance of homelessness, etc., etc. Ain’t capitalism great? Here you see it on a much greater scale, as you are obviously dealing with a much bigger one-horse town. But you know what, I have yet to see a single traffic circle!

Whoever said the grass was greener on the other side obviously knew what he was talking about. It’s a lot greener and a lot wetter.

TROY FIELD

I find it strange that no one ever mentions that Troy Field has been our community/playing field for over 100 years. A photo of the field was taken on Railroad Day where a high school football game was played in celebration of the railroad being built and arriving in Bend in 1911. A century is usually considered important!

Just envision this field being saved with artistic fencing and wide gates for easy access for events, yet still safe for sports and small children to play in—and a large encasement full of pictures of the history of Bend for residents and visitors to enjoy and admire our beautiful city. But the first step to save Troy Field is to preserve it as a Public Facilities Designation.

Sign petitions, online or in town, write letters, pass the word on, and go to the meeting December 3rd, 9:30 am, at City Hall.

The last meeting had only 20 residents even though there were over 700 signatures gathered. We need to fill the meeting room with concerned residents. Reporters from the news and newspaper will most likely be there, they were at the last meeting. Preserve Troy Field, our historic, green playing/community field.

IN REPLY TO “A LANDLORD’S PERSPECTIVE ON RENTAL RATE COMPLAINT” (11/4) You’re ignoring something called “equity.”

Since the landlord is able to cover the entirety of the PITI w/ the rent, at the end of the mortgage period, the whole house has probably appreciated three to five percent, compounded annually. I used three percent meaning in 30 years the house is worth $643,000, conservatively. So...you’ve got renters covering your full monthly cost, and at the end of it, you’ve got a tidy nest egg, or a tidy nest egg and monthly profit to the tune of whatever your rent is in 30 years?

Also, rent prices for many have been raised as much as 25% in one month, these are current rentals and unless the mortgage is variable rate, there is no excuse for the huge raise in rent other than greed. Rentals should be investments, not monthly income. And to say the folks renting your homes probably “make more than the home owner” do you think someone that has 53k laying around for a down payment makes less than someone who pays 3k to move in? Mmm doubt it.

I have a difficult time feeling sorry for you— your risk is functionally zero, your long term ROI is very significant, and your actual work, other than cashing checks is pretty minimal.

Like you said, you’ve got a property manager.

What you are is lucky/successful/hardworking enough to have the down payment for a second home in Bend. And you are getting something like a 9% ROI on your $53,000 down payment over 30 years, with little or no risk (assuming a conservative 3% per annum appreciation).

–Brent Howk

Also I assume your mortgage is fixed; but inflation is not. I think it’s safe to say that as basic cost of living increases, so will your rent charged, meaning you’ll actually be making greater monthly profit each year, while, again, accumulating significant equity.

–MS All I have to say is this property owner wants renters to understand what owners face by having a rental. The thing the owner isn’t realizing is that they own more than one home, where the renter probably can’t afford to even own one. If someone is purchasing homes right now for rentals, they’re not the smartest given current pricing. I’d imagine many rental homes were picked up after the recession, where home prices were way down in price and that means the owners now have quite the equity in their homes.

GOODBYE, NATURE’S How many people driving around sporting “Buy Local” bumper stickers are actually supporting local businesses, and in particular, local grocery stores? Not enough, because after 32 years of being the coolest grocery store east of Third, Nature’s is closing due to increased pressure from corporately-owned natural food stores. To those of you pulling your “I heart Bend” stickered Land Rover into Natural Grocers or Whole Foods, this death is on your head.

My anger over the closing of Nature’s might be excessive, but this is an example of yet another change that isn’t going to benefit our community. My husband and I were both raised here, and we used to be obnoxiously proud of that fact. But I’m definitely not proud of this uber-hyped, overly expensive, Disney-town that cares way too much about looking rad on Instagram and getting featured in Outside magazine. It’s time to stop endlessly promoting Bend to future second-home owners and “lifestyle” seekers and start focusing on creating a livable community for the people who are truly trying to make a life here.

Goodbye, Nature’s, I miss you already.

–Adalie Beckley

LETTER OF THE WEEK Adalie—Thanks for the timely reminder that “Shop Local” is more than a bumper sticker philosophy, but a call to support our neighbors in concrete, meaningful ways. As the holiday shopping season approaches, we hope that others will adopt your stance and consider spending their hard-earned dollars with local businesses. To that end, please have a cup of coffee on us at local coffee shop Palate.

Many residents and I are against any building being built there. The Bulletin mentions the online petition, but there is also a petition going in town, which has over 400 signatures.

Some of the signatures have come from a few stores and restaurants in town, but mainly they have been gathered at Nature’s store in the Wagner Mall, which is sadly going out of business. They have always stood by their, and many residents,’ beliefs, that we need to preserve historic Troy Field for the community for all to enjoy as a green playing field.

The Bulletin’s headline read “A Boutique Hotel for Bend’s Troy Field?,” a pretty name for what the Brownstone Company’s president said it would be, as he explains the plan to The Source Weekly in August 2015. “A boutique hotel-condo, in which high-end condos are individually owned and rented out to visitors when the owners are away, much like a vacation rental.”

Not a pretty picture.

Oregon Needs Sunshine

By Source Staff

O

regon is in the news for another failing score, but this time, it’s not our educational system—it’s the whole state government.

According to a recent data-driven assessment by the Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity, Oregon earns an F for government accountability and transparency. And while the top-ranked state, Alaska, only got a C, it still leaves Oregon tied for 44th place—hardly worth bragging about.

The recent gubernatorial scandal played a large role in the overall score—Oregon earned a predictable F for executive accountability—but the problems extend beyond former Gov. John Kitzhaber’s office.

And a political scandal doesn’t have to be a death sentence for these types of ratings. In fact, many of the higher ranked states have a history of political corruption. The key difference is that they used those scandals to propel meaningful changes. In Oregon, however, the accountability measures passed by Gov. Kate Brown fell short of the Center’s benchmark and should be a concern for Oregonians.

One of the biggest factors impacting the rankings was public records policies and practices. Oregon earned another F in the subcategory of public access to information, a shameful fact considering that Oregon enacted “sunshine” legislation in 1973, three years before the federal Government’s Sunshine Act passed in 1976.

In response to the report, Gov. Brown’s office released a statement detailing her efforts to improve government transparency and implement ethics reform, including releasing more than 100,000 documents in response to media and other public requests. The release also notes that Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum convenes a task force dedicated to looking into the State’s public records law, in

particular its more than 400 exemptions.

The statement goes on to quote Gov. Brown’s July guest editorial in the Oregonian, in which she wrote: “Upon taking office, I appointed Oregon’s first-ever policy advisor dedicated to ethics, and in June, I signed into law three bills passed with strong bipartisan support that strengthen our ability to hold wrongdoers accountable. The bills lay important groundwork for continued improvements to Oregon’s ethics laws and our complex and sometimes confounding public records laws.”

While her efforts to address some of the more egregious problems are praiseworthy, there is clearly more work to be done. And, it’s worth noting that, while the Governor sets the tone and lawmakers craft the laws, it’s within the power of each individual legislator to conduct their affairs in an open, transparent, and accountable manner. And when the law does not support such conduct, they ought to feel compelled to change it.

We’re holding onto some optimism that Gov. Brown can, and will, turn the ethics ship around. A glimmer of hope comes in the form of Brown’s recent letter to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, asking the agency to withdraw an application to trade part of its water rights to facilitate a deal with Nestle. Instead, she is asking for a participatory approach that weighs how giving up state water rights in the midst of a drought might impact the public.

Brown’s spokeswoman Kristen Grainger explained: “She thinks it’s really important that proposals that affect a publicly held water right be subject to the review process that offers the greatest opportunity for public involvement.”

Now, if Brown can apply that principle of transparency and accountability to all the government’s dealings, we’ll be on the right path.

Nature’s prepares to close after 32 years

SIDE NOTES

ebbie Sloan takes the duster out of her back pocket before taking a seat at the counter in the front of her store, Nature’s. She’s been providing organic groceries and natural products to the Bend community since 1983, expanding three times, and greeting her customers by name as they arrive and leave.

“Bye, Katie, I’ll talk to you soon,” she says.

Customers coming and going glance down at the “25 percent off all items” sign standing in the middle of the entrance.

And for the first time in three decades, she’s not sure what’s next. Sloan has operated Nature’s for the last 32 years, a small natural foods market that has been voted Best Health Food Store by Source readers since the paper started. On September 24, she made the decision to close her store after seeing a decline in customers and sales over the last two years. She says she’s been going through the grieving process since making her decision.

“I’m hopping through those stages,” she explains, “the grief, the sadness, the anger, and then just the numb[ness]—because it is [and] it’s been my total life.”

uting to Nature’s decline in sales.

“My customers are telling me that they’ve been on a budget,” she says. “They’ve had to make compromises, they’ve had to get roommates, they’ve had to eat non-organic.” Sloan understands that her customers have to shop where prices are cheaper.

The customers that have been able to stick through until the end are telling Sloan they don’t know where they’ll shop.

“I’ve had so many people in here that have cried,” she says. “A grown man today looked at me and cried—he couldn’t bare it. There have been a lot of tears shed in this building, a lot of tears.”

Sloan says larger organic food competitors are able to offer products for about 20 percent less—which is much cheaper than an independent organic market can offer.

As customers steadily stream through lines, Nature’s employees chat with them as they scan their items. Some people have worked with Sloan for 20 years.

Sloan opened the store after taking a deeper look and learning about nutrition.

Her daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in the mid ’70s and doctors only gave her a few months to live. Her daughter was eventually given a clean bill of health.

“My employees should be scared to death and running and getting other jobs, [but] every single one of them is staying with me and seeing me through this,” she says. “I don’t think it’ll be hard for them to get a job because they are going to get the absolute best letter recommendation anybody could ever get. The store wouldn’t be what it was without them.”

“And so that’s mainly why we built the store on the principle of we’ve got to tell the world,” she says.

Jeanne, an employee, has known Sloan since 1977 when the two worked for the New Congress co-op market in Bend.

Sloan believes competition from larger chain grocery stores getting into the organic food business, the cost of living, and the housing market are all factors contrib-

“I’ve got roots in this industry,” she says.

“I saw this [industry go] from the granola hippie all the way through to the corporate take-over.”

Sloan says she’s known she would probably have to close since spring and was hoping business would turn around, but as her accountants ran the numbers, she knew what had to be done. The closing date is uncertain, but she knows it will happen soon.

“Look at the shelves,” she says. “When the shelves are down low enough, then I’m going to close because then I’ve got to start selling the equipment and getting ready to get out of here because I don’t want to pay rent if I’m not in business.”

Although she’s encircled by a mass of uncertainty, Sloan is toying with the idea of running a second hand store to sell the art, baskets, and remnants of items hung on the walls. She’s also considering taking some time off, but can’t take the idea of not being involved in the community.

“I’m a very strong woman,” she says. “I may also be a business consultant or a consultant for liquidation because this has been so incredibly hard. I’ve got a lot of balls, and I know there are other people in this town that are going to go down just because of the way it’s growing.”

Until the end, Sloan is relying heavily on her faith while she continues to manage her employees, and is busy meeting customers who are making offers on equipment like shelves and produce stands.

“It’s going to be weird the morning I wake up and it’s done,” she says. “I will at least know that I’ve helped bring the world to a higher level of understanding of nutrition and I’ll always be happy for that.”

Downtown Bend now has occupancy of 97 percent, according to the Downtown Bend Business Association. “Eight new businesses opened this quarter or are planning to open in the coming weeks once renovations are made to the interior of the leased spaces,” says DBBA Executive Director Rod Porsche. The new businesses raised the occupancy rate by one percent during the third quarter.

A new tap house, a dog boutique, and a bike shop are a few of the businesses that have begun operating since July.

A new restaurant and a new billiards hall are set to open within the next few months.

Oregon State University was voted number one in best on-campus sexual health, according to a survey published in USA Today. The University of Oregon was ranked sixth in Trojan’s Sexual Health Report Card while Stanford, the University of Georgia, the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, and Brown University made the top five spots. The survey was based on the evaluation of student health centers across the country in 11 categories such as sexual health resources and information, condom and contraceptive availability, sexual assault resources and programs, and STI and HIV testing. Brigham Young was ranked the lowest on the report card at 140.

By Erin Rook

A little over a week before the roundup began, the Department of the Interior released a report finding that the largest buyer of wild horses from the BLM—a Colorado rancher named Tom Davis who BLM records show purchased 1,700 horses since 2009—has been illegally selling horses to “kill buyers.”

“During our investigation, Davis admitted that most of the horses that he purchased through [the Wild Horse and Burro program] ultimately went to slaughter,” the Oct. 23 report states. “We determined that BLM did not follow current law while managing WH&B. BLM also failed to follow its own policy of limiting horse sales and ensuring that the horses sold went to good homes and were not slaughtered.”

According to the report, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado and the State of Colorado Conejos County District Attorney’s Office both declined civil and criminal prosecution.

In the court of public opinion, however, the revelation is fueling existing skepticism about the program's ability to responsibly and humanely manage wild horse and burro populations.

It all started more than 40 years ago, when Congress adopted the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. At the time, the wild equine population had dipped to about 17,000 from the millions believed to roam the American West at the turn of the 20th century. Lawmakers stepped in to stop the decline and preserve the animals’ revered place in the American imagination.

In the introductory text of the Act, Congress “finds and declares that wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; that they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people; and that these horses and burros are fast disappearing from the American scene.”

Today, “fast disappearing” could be replaced with “fast populating.” The Act was successful in supporting the growth of wild horse populations, and by 1983, an estimated 65,000 horses and burros were grazing on rangelands.

But the Act also calls for balancing wild equine populations with the capacity of the land to support them. And the environment has changed since the days when

wild horses roamed free. So the BLM started subtracting from their numbers.

Today, the population of wild horses hovers around 35,000, with roundups culling about 9,400 horses each year nationwide.

A

s the Bureau of Land Management continues its roundup of 1,500 wild horses in the Beatys Butte herd management area in Southern Oregon—one of the largest gathers in state history—agencies that manage the iconic species are under increased scrutiny.

“Overpopulation of wild horse herds can have serious impacts on the land and the animals,” explains Jason Lutterman, spokesman for the BLM’s Wild Horse and

“Because true ‘Nature’ hasn’t existed since the livestock occupation of the 19th century, we have to intervene to attempt balance, and still it probably isn’t something we can ever reclaim"

Burro Program. “Over-population causes over-grazing, soil erosion, damage to springs and streams, and can cause horses to starve and can impact the long-term health of the land and other wildlife species that share it with horses and burros.”

He says that the BLM has few tools to address the growth of wild horse and burro populations. With virtually no natural predators, Lutterman says, their herds can increase by 20 percent each year, doubling in size within five years without human intervention.

And so, the government steps in. The 1971 Act, and its updates later that decade, grant the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture through the BLM and U.S Forest Service the authority to achieve “appropriate management levels”—a concept to which firm numbers are attached— by “removal or destruction” as well as by sterilization or other “natural controls.”

While these agencies, specifically the Bureau of Land Management and the National Forest Service, are tasked with first attempting to adopt the “excess” horses to people who can provide proper care for them, they are directed to destroy those not adopted “in the most humane and cost-effective way possible.” That does not include selling the remains of said horses for any commercial use.

But there aren’t as many people able and willing to adopt the horses as there are horses available for adoption. The BLM wild horse holding areas are filling up. And though the law prohibits it, as the investigation into Tom Davis shows, some wild horses still wind up at slaughterhouses.

Critics say that the fatal flaw in the government’s approach to managing the species is that they are viewed as an invasive species, not unlike juniper, which despite its somewhat iconic status in the high des-

-Gayle Hunt

ert, can take over a landscape if left unchecked.

“Unfortunately, the conventional approach to wild horse management has been to treat them as invasives,” explains Gayle Hunt, president and founder of the Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition. “If wild horses are viewed in this way, their management can never be more than a feeble and transparent attempt to comply with a nuisance law, which protects a nuisance species.”

It would be different, she says, if wild horses were viewed with “the same respect” as sage-grouse, pronghorn, and other iconic local species. The challenge, Hunt explains, is that humans have made it nearly impossible to simply let things return to their “natural” state. Too much has changed, and now nature must be actively managed in order to resemble its roots.

“Because true ‘Nature’ hasn’t existed since the livestock occupation of the 19th century, we have to intervene to attempt balance, and still it probably isn’t something we can ever reclaim,” Hunt says. “But the first thing conservationists, biologists, botanists, and everyone who cares about the West must do is come to terms with the fact that horses are not invasives.”

But that’s a point of some contention. Unlike other native species, horses haven’t enjoyed an unbroken chain of wild existence in North America. While some research suggests that the horses now roaming the wild are direct descendants of horses that lived on the continent tens of thousands of years ago, there was a large chunk of history when they either left the area or existed in such small numbers that their presence is hard to trace. Wild horses are more recent relatives of the domesticated horses brought over from Spain in the 1400s, who may or may not have interbred with any remaining wild bands.

“Native status for wild horses would place these animals, under law, within a new

category for management considerations,” explained Jay F. Kirkpatrick, director of Montana’s Science and Conservation Center, in a 2005 statement in support of a bill to ban the sale of wild horses for commercial uses. “As a form of wildlife, embedded with wildness, ancient behavioral patterns, and the morphology and biology of a sensitive prey species, they may finally be released from the ‘livestock-goneloose’ appellation.”

Gayle Hunt, of the Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition, explains that the best approach is balanced and collaborative. She points to her organization’s work with the Ochoco National Forest, which manages a smaller Big Summit band of wild horses in Central Oregon, about 25 miles east of Prineville.

“In the Ochocos, we have a sort of crucible for testing variations on the current practices because of the number and quality of committed volunteers, the fact that the herd is managed by the Forest Service, and the open minds of the local Forest Service wild horse staff to demonstrating a different way,” she explains.

Hunt says she understands that the herds must be managed, but believes that through a combination of temporary fertility control options; smaller, low-trauma captures; and capitalizing on natural herd behaviors, population growth can be kept to 7-8 percent—without resorting to larger gathers that use helicopters to chase the horses into traps. She is hopeful that wild horse advocates and the Forest Service can find common ground and mutually supported strategies.

And that process is opening up to greater public input as the U.S. Forest Service seeks to revise its own 40-year-old management policies. The three-year effort will include a monthly stakeholder group that’s open to the public. The Ochoco National Forest (ONF) is inviting interested parties to stop by its office in Prineville between noon and 7 pm Nov. 17 to get more information.

O

regon breweries — like Deschutes, Cascade Lakes, 10 Barrel, Boneyard and GoodLife — can’t brew beer without the energy supplied by Pacific Power, the utility owned by Berkshire Hathaway Energy. And Pacific Power can’t deliver reliable service if its skilled workers continue leaving their jobs because of poor treatment, like threats to their health care and compensation below regional industry standards.

We can’t let companies as profitable as Berkshire Hathaway squeeze skilled workers out of the middle class. And we can’t let giant corporations put profits before the service and reliability their customers depend on.

SUGGESTS

Dave Mason keeps a legendary band’s legacy alive

By Jared Rasic

By Dac Collins 13

keep the legacy of four young men from the heartland of England and their contribution to contemporary music,” Mason says on his website.

This isn’t the first time Mason toyed with the idea of of forming a Traffic reunion band.

When asked about the possibility of Traffic getting back together, in a 2013 interview with the Nashville Scene, Mason responded, “You’re asking the wrong guy. I mean, it’d be great.

I wish the two of us [Winwood and Mason] could just go out, and you don’t have to call it Traffic. Call it, you know, Playing in Traffic. Or Dodging Traffic…and go out and do it as a retrospective. Maybe invite a couple of other people who are huge fans. That would be really cool.

I think it would be a great show, and I think people would love it. But it’s down to Stevie, ’cause the creative differences all spilled over into some bizarre personal animosity somewhere. That’s the part I don’t get.”

Although Mason was inducted into the Rock ’N Roll Hall of Fame as one of the founding members of Traffic, he had a tenuous relationship with the band and struggled to find creative common ground with Steve Winwood.

Mason had left the band by the time its debut album, Mr. Fantasy, was released in 1967. He then rejoined in 1968 during the recording of the self-titled follow-up, only to leave the band again. Traffic—Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood— carried on without him, expanding to include other musicians and releasing five more albums over the next six years.

CORNER GOSPEL EXPLOSION If you are actually looking for gospel music then you might have stumbled into something you weren’t expecting, but just as downright marvelous. Always unpredictable and sonically adventurous, Corner Gospel Explosion defy genre just as easily as they wail on their reverb-heavy indie rock sound.

With no two shows ever ending up the same, this is a band always worth catching, no matter the venue or day of the week.7 pm. Thursday, Nov. 12. McMenamins Old St. Francis School. 700 NW Bond St. No cover.

With Traffic Jam, Mason has finally brought this idea to fruition, even if he couldn’t convince Steve Winwood to join him on tour.

The other two founding members, Wood and Capaldi, passed away in 1983 and 2005, respectively.

After his breakup with Traffic in ’68, Mason left England and moved to Los Angeles, where he found success as a solo artist and studio musician, collaborating with George Harrison, Gram Parsons, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix, among other icons of the era.

The Traffic Jam concerts include commentary from Mason in between performances. Part question-and-answer session, part rock ’n’ roll history lesson, the topics of conversation in past shows have included his formative years in the English countryside, the rustic cottage where many of Traffic’s first songs were written, and his friendship with Jimi Hendrix, who Mason collaborated with on the Experience’s version of “All Along the Watchtower.” Traffic Jam’s rendition of this classic Bob Dylan tune should be worth the price of admission alone.

Over a career spanning five decades, the prolific songwriter has released more than two dozen albums and counting. Mason’s most recent EP, Future’s Past, came out just last year.

The EP includes a new version of “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” one of Traffic’s first hits. Utterly recognizable, the track off Traffic’s debut album features some of the catchiest guitar licks that the original quartet ever recorded.

DAVID RYAN HARRIS With his brand new album Lightyears now available, David Ryan Harris embarks upon his NW Tour. You might recognize him from John Mayer’s band (where he crooned and played guitar) or from playing and producing artists like the Dave Matthews Band, Santana, and Marc Broussard. Harris describes this tour as “bare bones and intimate” and should make for a phenomenal night of music 8 pm. Thursday, Nov. 12.

Astro Lounge, 939 NW Bond St. $12.

The depth of creativity and ingenuity that Mason discovered during Traffic’s early years had a profound impact on him as a musician, and his Traffic Jam tour is clearly an effort to revitalize that musical energy.

Experience a more enjoyable day on the mountain on well tuned skis, but it’s amazing how many skiers go out on skis that haven’t been tuned in years. That’s about as much fun as driving a car with flat tires!

A tune-up can be anything from just an iron-in hot wax to a full stone grind, edge bevel, polish and iron-in hot wax.

Race Place is the trusted service shop for skiers the past 27 years whether racing or just looking for more fun on the mountain. Let us check your skis and help you keep them in shape for a fantastic ski season!

Do It Yourself We offer a large assortment of tuning tools and waxes and can show you how to easily maintain your own skis.

Facing Fear

ART WATCH

By Corinne Boyer

Author Elizabeth Gilbert embraces creative risks

23

By Corinne Boyer

Paula Bullwinkel, an instructor at COCC, hand curated the show and carefully selected the photographs for the display.

“It’s a very fresh, different perspective,” she says. It’s not the “beaten-to-death shot of the river or mountain. These are really provocative pictures done by artists.”

A

uthor Elizabeth Gilbert is busy. She’s toured with Oprah, she hosts a podcast based on her most recent book Big Magic, and she is meticulous when it comes to responding to her tightknit community of followers on social media.

She reads fans’ blogs and even takes time to reply to tweets. Last year, she posted a photo of a lost dog named Dave she brought into her New Jersey home, and ultimately, the post helped the owner find him.

Gilbert is currently on tour promoting her new book and talking with eager writers and creators about what it takes to be bold and own their creativity.

She says the idea for Big Magic began about 15 years ago, but it began to take shape when she joined social media.

“I avoided social media for a long time [because] I had heard such bad things about it like it was full of trolls, snarky comments, aggression,” she says. Much to her surprise, she says it’s been filled with “wonderful, creative, and compassionate comments about real things and how deeply people want to talk about creativity—which helped [me] write the book.”

For years, she noticed that many people were doing exciting work, but also recognized a commonality preventing people from putting their work out into the world.

women readers and Facebook, I was able to make the book more of a conversation rather than a lecture.”

Gilbert has been in the spotlight for the last decade. Her memoir Eat Pray Love sold ten million copies, and was scripted for the big screen starring Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem, so criticism is nothing new for Gilbert.

She says people don’t need permission to create. So waiting for the right moment to write the book that’s been nagging at you is part of fear.

“All procrastination is fear,” she says. The creative process begins with understanding entitlement. It’s the word that “all good and decent people hate these days,” she says.

“I like to reclaim [entitlement] and allow people to reclaim it because without a certain level of entitlement you can’t participate—you’re only allowed to be a consumer, a bystander,” Gilbert says.

“Be part of the conversation—[because] without that sort of standing barefoot entitlement that you are not only enough, you are extra—spill over into the world and share [your creativity],” she says. Gilbert believes women have been left out of the entitlement conversation and says, “We should demand to be part of it.”

“People [are] held back by all different kinds of fear,” she says. And Gilbert had a similar experience when contemplating the idea of Big Magic.

But Gilbert acknowledges that some writers may face something deeper than fear.

When writers or journalists are faced with reporting on tough subjects like mass shootings and conflict, Gilbert says it’s important to recognize the difference between fear and trauma.

“I wasn’t quite ready before,” she says. “I wasn’t quite sure who I would be talking to and after years of [hearing from]

“When that fear deepens, then I think that you may have to reach out of yourself for yourself,” she says. “It’s not something

you should be going through alone.”

Gilbert is making stops outside of major cities like New York and Los Angeles on her Big Magic tour because she doesn’t want to miss out on visiting cities like Bend. There are “certain communities of readers that have pockets of creativity in the country off the beaten path,” she says.

For example, “Wichita Kansas’ Watermark Books is this great, vibrant, thriving, independent book store, and I know from years of doing this work that really amazing people are going to be there.”

Gilbert spent months in India, Italy, and Indonesia and has ventured to other spots around the globe, and the one place she’s dying to go right now is Iceland. She wants to travel the country via its Ring Road to “see one of the most beautiful surreal landscapes in the world,” she says.

“I’ll get bored of hearing myself saying I want to go,” which is enough to eventually make her purchase a ticket.

When Gilbert does have spare time, she’s reading. Right now, she’s reading David Mitchell’s The Bone Clocks.

“I’m loving him,” she says, “and I love an author who has a whole backlist you can explore—I like falling into a wormhole of a very prolific author.”

Bullwinkel has spent the last four years teaching film photography at COCC—as well as teaching drawing and basic design in high schools—but she got her start as a professional photographer in New York City. She had the opportunity to photograph actor Mark Ruffalo and musician Lenny Kravitz when they were virtually unknown.

She says she enjoys teaching something that people don’t even know still exists, and notes that black and white prints are moving in the direction of the fine art category.

“It has a whole different quality; it’s richer and better, and because you’re hand printing it in a darkroom, you have more control,” she says. “While you can manipulate [images] in Photoshop, I find hand made [prints] richer.”

The images capture moments in everyday life. Images of ice, an exotic dancer, a man and his pet bird, antique cameras, and atypical outdoor scenes warrant multiple gazes as the hand-printed silvers, grays, and blacks bring the images to life from various angles. Students also colored some of the photographs— which are also matted, framed, and are for sale.

“People relate to photos because they think there’s some reality there; it’s not just one viewpoint,” Bullwinkel says.

New black and white photographs taken by Central Oregon Community College students are on display at the Franklin Building in downtown Bend.

But the photographs tell stories that aren’t typically associated with the high desert setting and the photography scene around Bend. The photos were shot with film cameras, developed in a darkroom, and hand printed on silver gelatin paper.

Harvest Time

Central Oregon farms feed locals through the winter

end has become a notable destination hot spot for a few reasons: It attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, it has one of the highest number of breweries per capita, and it’s an all around incredible place to live. But what if “locally-sourced foodie destination” were to be added to that list?

Bend may not have the benefit of the Willamette Valley’s generous rainfall, but Central Oregon is nonetheless home to an exceptional and diverse selection of marketable produce and animal products that can be purchased through a number of outlets here in Bend. And while options are more limited during the fall and winter months, there are a few viable options to choose from this time of year.

Central Oregon Locavore Looking for one-stop locally-sourced shopping? This is the spot. Locavore is a nonprofit food market located on 1st Street just east of downtown Bend. They offer primarily local, fresh, and seasonal food year-round, and supply individuals, families, restaurants, and grocery stores.

They offer community supported agriculture (CSA) from their farmers, and sell a number of those harvested goods in their market. They also function as a liaison between farmers and consumers via their online marketplace.

Among the cornucopia of foods available at Locavore this fall and winter are

arugula, turnips, radishes, spinach (Radical Roots Farm); leaks and beets (Smudgy Goose Farms); garlic, red and yellow onions, celeriac, yellow fingerling potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, and yellow, red, and blue potatoes (Field’s Farm); lettuce (Next Season Farm); tomatoes (Zicky’s Vegetables); chicken (Cathy’s Beaks and Snouts); chicken and turkey (Great American Egg); lamb and goat (White Diamond Ranch); and beef and pork (D.D.

CHECK OUT THESE LOCAL FARMS AND PRODUCERS: Rainshadow Organics Located on the 80-acre Lawrence farm in Terrebonne, Rainshadow Organics is a market garden and one of just a few Central Oregon farms with winter food sourcing options. They also offer a seasonal CSA, with delivery options for Bend, Redmond, and Sisters. An example of a selection of items that can be purchased in a food box in November includes: winter greens, stored potatoes, onions, garlic, and winter squash, ten pounds of mixed meats including whole chickens and mixed cuts of pork and beef, fresh ground flour from homegrown organic wheat, and wheat berries.

70955 NW Lower Bridge Way, Terrebonne | 541279-0841 | rainshadoworganics.com Fields Farms Located in the heart of Bend off of Pettigrew on a ten-acre parcel of land, Fields Farm also has a small on farm store for customers who want to purchase directly from the farm. On a recent visit, owner and head farmer Jim Fields said he has to put in more work this time of year to stay ahead of the cold weather: “This time of year is always a difficult transition for harvesting.” Still, the farm produces yearround. This fall, options include garlic, red and yellow onions, celeriac, yellow fingerling potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, and yellow, red, and blue potatoes. In the winter, Fields expects to have potatoes, onions, celeriac, and leeks. All of these options are available from the farm or at Locavore. Though, if you’re planning to stop by the farm, it’s best to call ahead to find out what is on hand and arrange a time to meet.

A Dog of a Different Color Portland’s Hair of the Dog marches to its own beat Quick! What’s the most expensive beer you can think of? Samuel Adams Utopias, maybe? No way: That’s only $200-ish for a 700-milliliter metal bottle. Even BrewDog’s The End of History—which you may remember from pics on the internet; it’s that 110-proof sucker sold in bottles made from taxidermied squirrels and such—clocked in at a mere $765.

No, the priciest retail beer out there is Dave, a 29% ABV barley wine-style ale brewed by Hair of the Dog Brewing in Portland and aged for 21 years. It’s available in bottles right now at their taproom off SE Yamhill Street, modestly touted on the menu as “the most sought after beer in the world.”

The price? A cool $1,500.

And that’s still a discount compared to the past—HOTD auctioned off a pair of Dave bottles in 2012 for $4,525.56 during a Guide Dogs for the Blind benefit.

Fortunately for those of us who haven’t quite made their first $25 million yet, the rest of the beer at HOTD—a veteran of the craft beer business, opened way back in 1994—is much more reasonably priced.

Adam, for example, costs $5 per snifter, and there’s nothing else quite like it in

Oregon. Modeled after Adambier, a style of dark ale that comes from Dortmund, Germany, it’s a ten percent beer bursting with roasty malt flavor and just a touch of hops and sourness. If the alcohol percentage sounds a bit much, try Little Dog Adam, made from a second running of the Adam mash—that’s only three-anda-half percent, but still retains the same malt and hop profile.

HOTD, who made the Conflux collaboration beer with Deschutes Brewery in 2012 and whose bottles occasionally see distribution in Central Oregon, is not exactly the place to go if you’re looking for the basic pale/ IPA/stout brewpub lineup. On Halloween, the brewery held a bottle release for Putin, a Russian imperial stout created with the De Molen brewery in Holland. Still and head-less by design, Putin pours as dark as a winter’s night and tastes similar, with intense flavors of chocolate, bourbon, and booze.

It’s good right now, but should be far better in a year or so, when the alcohol fades and the barrel aging’s influence really kicks into high gear.

Rock Prodigy

Cameron Thomson braces for round two of the Boulder Bash

By Sam Katzman 27 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 46 / November 12, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ameron Thomson doesn’t have a letterman’s jacket, although she’s one of the most accomplished athletes at North Medford High School. What symbols Thomson does have to show for her athleticism, however, are some of the strongest, most callous-covered fingers of any 15-year-old in Southern Oregon.

Thomson is one of the country’s best rising stars in the sport of climbing, and going into the second installment of the Bend Boulder Bash series this Saturday, she’s at the top of the rankings.

Anxious nerves and sweaty palms aren’t a thing when she’s hanging on the wall, even if her opponents are twice her age.

Usually, that’s because she’s beating them.

After placing first in the opening Boulder Bash event in mid-October she’s an early favorite to claim the women’s title at the season’s end.

While most kids her age were still getting their bearings on two feet, Thomson was scaling boulders like Spider-Man. Born in

Colorado, her family moved to Medford when she was five. Maybe it’s because it wasn’t all that long ago, but she still vividly remembers the fateful occurrence that led to her discovery of the sport.

During a trip to a park in Ashland, she and her sister found a climbing rock to play on.

For hours, Thomson stuck to the boulder like glue. Realizing he was raising a natural climber, her father brought his then 6-year-old daughter to the gym shortly after their visit to the park.

From there, everything fell into place as she kept ascending. Thomson joined the bouldering team at Rogue Rock Gym near her home when she was eight. By the time she was ten she was competing at Nationals.

As a young climber, Thomson has competed in events across the United States and placed 18th out of 37 in her category at the SCS Youth National Championships this past July. Her victory in the first stage of the Boulder Bash a couple weeks ago came

in the first money competition she’s ever entered.

Although Thomson is beginning to make a name for herself in the sport of bouldering, most of her friends at school don’t realize just how good she is or that she can cling to rocks with only her fingertips.

“They think it’s super easy,” Thomson says.

“They say it’s like climbing a ladder.”

In climbing, contrary to popular belief, Popeye arms and tremendous upper body strength aren’t essential to success.

Instead, excess body mass creates a disadvantage, which is partly why Thomson’s small and limber frame hangs on the wall so effortlessly.

Aside from training and competing, Thomson is also the assistant coach of her gym’s Rogue Rock Team. She spends three days a week coaching and the rest of her time training—when she’s not at school or doing homework. As her coach Matt Lambert likes to say, Thomson is a “rock star.”

North Medford offers more sports than most high schools, such as equestrian, hockey, snowboarding/skiing, and rowing; but there’s no rock climbing team at NMHS, or at any high school in Oregon.

Thomson would like to see that change one day.

“There are a few people that want to get all the high schools in Medford and Ashland doing climbing,” she says. For now, though, she’s focused on preparing for the next Boulder Bash competition this weekend at Bend Rock Gym. The rock prodigy says her goal is to eventually be a professional climber and route setter when she gets older. If she stays on the route she’s been climbing, those goals are closely within reach.

Spectre spectacularly fails to stir

is, because this new era of Bond made him that way. Even Daniel Craig thinks he’s a pig.

ames Bond remains even when we, as a society and civilization, change into something a bit more enlightened than his halcyon days. While I wouldn’t go so far as to describe the character as a remnant of a bygone era, there are still aspects of the series that play as out of touch to a modern audience—British, American, or otherwise.

Spectre was always going to have a hard road to follow after Skyfall, which was not only the highest grossing Bond film in history, but also the most critically acclaimed. Ever since Bond was rebooted in 2006 with Casino Royale, Daniel Craig and team have taken a similar approach to Bond as Christopher Nolan has taken with Batman. They made him serious. They got rid of the gadgets and overall goofiness, but kept some of the uglier aspects.

In Casino Royale, Bond fell in love with Vesper Lynd, only to be betrayed by her before she sacrifices her life to save his.

This sends him on a subsequent spiral throughout Quantum of Solace and Skyfall where he is emotionally unavailable to the ladies, yet just as sexually voracious.

Which becomes disgusting in Skyfall when he basically creeps up on a terrified sex slave in a shower where they then go at it. Bond has always been chauvinistic and

Most people don’t go to Bond movies to worry about this kind of crap, they go for the action and the film fails there, as well.

After a bravura one-shot during the Dia de los Muertos in Mexico City, this film becomes one of the dullest Bond films in memory. The car chases are flat and phony, the finale is laughable, and everything in between is forgettable. Skyfall ended by setting up M, Q, Moneypenny, and all the things that made Bond fun. This has him back being a rogue agent, one film after being a rogue agent. sexist and rapey; hell, in Diamonds Are Forever, Sean Connery chokes a woman with her own bikini top because she didn’t answer a question quick enough. This has been a part of the franchise since the very beginning, but what was the point in making Bond more human and believable as a character while still staying beholden to this outdated treatment of women?

All of this is endemic of the broken core of the franchise that continues on in this latest adventure, Spectre. The plot is the same as Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation with a little dash of The World is Not Enough.

FEATURED FILM EVENTS

After Bond meets the absolutely incredible Monica Belluci and has sex with her (while she’s crying, up against a mirror), she disappears for the rest of the film to be replaced by a younger model, the wonderful French actress Léa Seydoux. And, of course, they fall in love. Pretty gross.

Writers John Logan, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Jez Butterworth want us to think that Bond is just a lonely man, searching for someone to connect with and all the rough sex and weird, grey-area permissiveness from women who catch his scent is because he isn’t a real boy. But he

Spectre is a dull parade of clichés and pointlessness. Sam Mendes still knows how to frame a shot and cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema lenses the film beautifully, so it isn’t a total loss. Yet the film is still a cynical and boring collection of callbacks to earlier, better Bond films, even as Craig continues to be one of the best Bonds yet.

The film is almost as insulting to audiences as Bond is to women. Stay home and drink a martini instead.

This Changes Everything

UFC 93: Rousey vs Holm

One of the best documentaries of the year is screening again, but this time in the brand new Madras Performing Arts Center. The film follows three cowboys as they ride from the Mexican Border to the Canadian one and have the adventure of a lifetime. Edge of your seat entertainment.

Shot over four years in nine countries and five continents, this powerful film looks at climate change through a long-term scope. It follows communities from Montana’s Powder River Basin to India to Beijing and back again. This film will keep the conversation going in new and exciting ways Bend hasn’t seen yet.

Sometimes you just have to watch two amazing athletes beat the hell out of each other in a nightclub setting before a DJ starts spinning the after party. Rousey is having a pretty amazing year and doesn’t seem to be slowing down even a little bit. Time for some shots, face punches, and music until two in the morning!

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic BRIDGE OF SPIES: Steven Spielberg’s first

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 high stress career of making food pretty, but this isn’t it. This is a gay panic sitcom masquerading as a dramedy and not worth your hard-earned dollars. 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. Pretty to look at, but ultimately disappointing. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX EVEREST 3D: The true story of one of the

hairiest attempts to summit Everest in history. For once, the use of 3D (which I think we can all agree now isn’t a fad anymore) actually enhances the film greatly. Seeing the depth of frame as thousands of feet separate men from the ground makes for a white-knuckle film going experience. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GOOSEBUMPS 3D: Advanced word says

this is the most fun children’s film since Zathura (which we all know was better than Jumanji). Jack Black plays R.L. Stine, the author of the 200-plus 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 of any kind, which makes perfect sense for him to work for an online magazine because comedy.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS: So, this is

based off of that cartoon that 30-somethings (mostly 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 and a shadowy cabal trying to protect some crazy secret. The trailers don’t do much to inspire a viewing of this one.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE KEEPING ROOM: Three Southern women (including a slave) must defend themselves against rapey Union soldiers during the dying days of the Civil War. Some early critics view this as a love song to a dying Confederacy and others see it as the post-modern feminist western filled with intense and powerful performances.

Either way, it is one of the most talked about films of the year. Tin Pan Theater

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER: There is a

lot riding on this one. 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. A pretty huge disappointment. Old Mill Stadium 16 & 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 if 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX 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

THE PEANUTS MOVIE: It really is about

time for The Peanuts to make their return, but we’ll see if audiences can accept them in the form of 3D animation instead of hand-drawn. The story sees Snoopy and Charlie Brown both facing off against their own personal nemeses while living their typical hang-dog existences. Expect parents to be just as moved as their kids (if not more so). 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. Tin Pan Theater

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. The trailers make it look bad, but the reviews are even worse. But even in his worst films, Murray is always a weird and wonderful presence that is always worth watching.

SPECTRE: Coming after the most finan-

cially successful and critically-applauded Bond film in history, Spectre has some extremely large shoes to fill. U.K. reviews for the film were almost universally positive, while U.S. critics have been less than kind so far. The U.S. critics are right. Dull, dreary, and airless, this is easily the worst Bond film of the Craig era. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

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.

One of the best films of the year so far. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Fawn Juan

—True Man Gushing over a woman right out of the gate—“Wow…you have skin!”—tends to give a man all the rough-hewn sex appeal of a Care Bear.

The problem here comes out of what evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt explain as men’s and women’s conflicting sexual strategies.

For an ancestral woman, there was the possibility of high back-end costs from any sex act (children to dig grubs for and drag around). So, women evolved to be the commitment-seekers of our species, and men, the commitment-free sex seekers. Men still had a good chance of passing on their genes, even if they chose to “fun and run.” (Of course, this worked better in the days before state-ordered child support.)

Though it’s the tail end of 2015, evolutionary psychologists Leda Cosmides and John Tooby explain that “our modern skulls house a stone age mind” with “stone age priorities.” So, women expect to work to get a man to commit just as men expect to work to get a woman into bed. And just as women get devalued by men for being sexually “easy,” men get devalued by women if they seem emotionally “easy”—like by immediately throwing around compliments like glitter at a gay pride parade. This sort of thing doesn’t say you find the woman beautiful or whatever; it says you find it a miracle that she went out with you at all.

Try something new—keeping a lid on the word drool. In other words, shut up and listen. Ask a woman about herself— where she’s been, what she thinks, what matters to her—and engage with what she’s saying. That’s the sincere way to compliment a woman—showing that you’re interested in her as a human being instead of slobbering all over her like a dog that’s been left home all day.

The safe time to compliment a woman on her hotitude is after you’ve slept together. Women are often insecure about their bodies, and post-sex compliments will be appreciated (instead of depreciating you). All in all, keep in mind that the dating realm is like many other endeavors. Too much enthusiasm too soon typically makes you seem desperate…for something…anything…anybody. Picture

Stare Wars My girlfriend of a year has a really hard time looking into my eyes when we have sex. Eye contact is a big turn-on for me because it’s so intense and intimate. She says she feels scared and vulnerable: “I don’t want you to see how much I care.” I also think she feels insecure about how she looks during sex. How can I reassure her?

—Not Going Anywhere Okay, so your girlfriend’s idea of something sexy to wear in bed is a Richard Nixon mask with the eyeholes taped over. (On a positive note, this isn’t because keeping her eyes closed makes it easier to pretend you’re Channing Tatum.)

Your girlfriend’s likely to let go a little if you grab on to her a little tighter. This advice comes out of “the dependency paradox,” a finding by social psychologist Brooke C. Feeney that the more you show a romantic partner that they can rely on you, the less they feel the need to cling. This would seem to apply to emotional risks, too, like not just having sex while blindfolded. In pitch darkness.

In a cave. In the middle of the earth.

To help your girlfriend understand that, in you, she has what Feeney calls a “secure base,” warn her that you’re going to start bombarding her with how much you love her and how beautiful you find her. And don’t just do it in bed. Hug her, kiss her, love on her in while in line at the DMV. (Keep at it until strangers coo—or yell, “Get a room!”) Ask her to try eye contact while clothed—at first for three seconds, and then for five—and then try the same in bed. Eventually, she should feel more secure about your loving her and finding her beautiful—even in bed, when she’s making a face like Mao Tse-tung straining on the john.

36, author Franz Kafka composed a 47-page letter to his father Herman. As he described the ways that his dad’s toxic narcissism and emotional abuse had skewed his maturation process, he refrained from lashing out with histrionic anger. Instead he focused on objectively articulating the facts, recounting events from childhood and analyzing the family dynamic. In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend that you write a letter to your own father—even if it’s filled with praise and gratitude instead of complaint. At this juncture in your life story, I think you especially need the insights that this exercise would generate. (P.S. Write the letter for your own sake, not with the hope of changing or hurting or pleasing your dad.

You don’t have to give it to him.)

one of Japan’s top athletes when he went to compete in the marathon race at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Partway through the event, fatigued by sweltering heat, bad food, and the long journey he’d made to get there, Kanakuri passed out. He recovered with the help of a local farmer, but by then the contest was over. Embarrassed by his failure, he sneaked out of Sweden and returned home. Fast forward to 1966. Producers of a TV show tracked him down and invited him to resume what he’d started. He agreed. At the age of 74, he completed the marathon, finishing with a time of 54 years, eight months. I think it’s time to claim your own personal version of this opportunity, Capricorn.

Wouldn’t you love to resolve a process that got interrupted?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In most sporting events, there’s never any doubt about which competitor is winning. Each step of the way, the participants and spectators know who has more points or goals or runs. But one sport isn’t like that. In a boxing match, no one is aware of the score until the contest is finished—not even the boxers themselves. I think you’re in a metaphorically comparable situation. You won’t find out the final tally or ultimate decision until the “game” is complete. Given this uncertainty, I suggest that you don’t slack off even a little.

Keep giving your best until the very end.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One night as you lie sleeping in your bed, you will dream of flying through the sunny summer sky. The balmy air will be sweet to breathe. Now and then you will flap your arms like wings, but mostly you will glide effortlessly. The feeling that flows through your body will be a blend of exhilaration and ease. Anywhere you want to go, you will maneuver skillfully to get there. After a while, you will soar to a spot high above a scene that embodies a knotty problem in your waking life. As you hover and gaze down, you will get a clear intuition about how to untie the knots. Whether or not you remember this dream, the next day you will work some practical magic that begins to shrink or dissolve the problem.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I demand unconditional love and complete freedom,” wrote Slovenian poet Tomaž Šalamun. “That is why I am terrible.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I’m offering you the chance, at least temporarily, to join Šalamun in demanding unconditional love and complete freedom.

But unlike him, you must satisfy one condition: Avoid being terrible. Can you do that? I think so, although you will have to summon unprecedented amounts of emotional intelligence and collaborative ingenuity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have the answers you need, but you keep sniffing around as if there were different or better answers to be had. Moreover, you’ve been offered blessings that could enable you to catalyze greater intimacy, but you’re barely taking advantage of them—apparently because you underestimate their potency. Here’s what I think: As long as you neglect the gifts you have already been granted, they won’t provide you with their full value. If you give them your rapt appreciation, they will bloom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) tried to earn a living by selling pencil sharpeners, but couldn’t make it. In frustration, he turned to writing novels. Success!

Among his many popular novels, 27 of them were about a fictional character named Tarzan. The actor who played Tarzan in the movies based on Burroughs’ books was Johnny Weissmuller. As a child, he suffered from polio, and rebuilt his strength by becoming a swimmer. He eventually won five Olympic gold medals. Burroughs and Weissmuller are your role models in the coming weeks, Gemini. It’s a favorable time for you to turn defeat into victory.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Artist Andy Warhol had an obsession with green underpants. In fact, that’s all he ever wore beneath his clothes.

It might be fun and productive for you to be inspired by his private ritual.

Life is virtually conspiring to ripen your libido, stimulate your fertility, and expedite your growth. So anything you do to encourage these cosmic tendencies could have an unusually dramatic impact. Donning green undies might be a good place to start. It would send a playful message to your subconscious mind that you are ready and eager to bloom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the coming weeks, take special notice of the jokes and humorous situations that prompt you to laugh the loudest. They will provide important clues about the parts of your life that need liberation. What outmoded or irrelevant taboos should you consider breaking? What inhibitions are dampening your well-being? How might your conscience be overstepping its bounds and making you unnecessarily constrained?

Any time you roar with spontaneous amusement, you will know you have touched a congested place in your psyche that is due for a cleansing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): For each of the last 33 years, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Los Angeles has selected a “National Hero Dog.” It’s an award given to a canine that has shown exceptional courage in helping or rescuing people. In 2015, the group departed from tradition. Its “National Hero Dog” is a female cat named Tara. Last May, she saved a four-year-old boy by scaring off a dog that had begun to attack him. I’m guessing you will soon have an experience akin to Tara’s. Maybe you’ll make a gutsy move that earns you an unexpected honor. Maybe you’ll carry out a dramatic act of compassion that’s widely appreciated. Or maybe you’ll go outside your comfort zone to pull off a noble feat that elevates your reputation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to cartoon character Homer Simpson, “Trying is the first step towards failure.” I don’t agree with that comic advice. But I do think the following variant will be applicable to you in the coming weeks: “Trying too hard is the first step toward failure.” So please don’t try too hard, Libra!

Over-exertion should be taboo. Straining and struggling would not only be unnecessary, but counterproductive. If you want to accomplish anything worthwhile, make sure that your default emotion is relaxed confidence. Have faith in the momentum generated by all the previous work you have done to arrive where you are now.

(1859-1950) was a pioneer in the art of interior design. She described herself as “a rebel in an ugly world.” Early in her career she vowed, “I’m going to make everything around me beautiful,” and she often did just that. In part through her influence, the dark, cluttered decor of the Victorian Era, with its bulky draperies and overly ornate furniture, gave way to rooms with brighter light, softer colors, and more inviting textures.

I’d love to see you be inspired by her mission, Scorpio. It’s a good time to add extra charm, grace, and comfort to your environments.

The Source Weekly’s Gift Guides are here to help.

By Corinne Boyer Home sales in Bend rose during the third quarter, continuing a trend of steadily increasing home prices that Bend real estate broker Cheri Smith says began in 2011. But that may not be the case over the next few months.

“Prices are up about 12 percent from third quarter last year, but they were only three percent from January 2015 to end of third quarter,” she says. “They are continuing to increase but we are starting to see a bit of a slow down.”

Smith thinks home prices have increased steadily because Bend is still affordable compared to similar towns.

“You can get something amazing here in Bend for around $500,000,” she explains.

third quarter, but sales are still up and Smith says her best guess is that most homes for sale are being bought.

The median home price at the end of the third quarter was $325,000.

For people who are considering selling, Smith says not to be discouraged by the winter.

“There’s a perception that homes don’t sell in the winter, and a lot of folks will take their homes off the market, but October was a great month,” she says.

“We’ve had some of the highest number of sales. Don’t take your home of the market, because with the number of buyers you have a good chance of selling.”

Free Gift for New Medical Patients

n Bend, we have now enjoyed a full month of recreational cannabis sales from 14 stores around town. There have been no reports of problems with these sales, or the cannabis consumed as a result of them. Instead, most of the action has taken place at the City’s Advisory Committee meetings. The Committee is working on local regulations for Bend’s cannabis businesses.

Last week, the Committee was lobbied by the Bend Park & Recreation District to go well beyond the already substantial statewide cannabis business regulations and impose a 250-feet buffer for businesses around Bend parks. This would be in addition to the 1,000-feet buffer already imposed for schools and between cannabis businesses.

This idea immediately brought to mind how much my friends and I enjoy sitting outside drinking beers at Crows Feet Commons on a warm (or marginally warm) day overlooking Mirror Pond.

When we do that, we are practically in Drake Park. But apparently Bend Parks & Rec never raised this as a potential problem when the City and State approved an alcohol-serving business at this location right next to the City’s flagship park.

Bend Parks & Rec also apparently did not bat an eye at the idea of serving beer and wine at its new ice-skating and sports rink soon-to-open right across the street from Deschutes Brewery in southwest Bend. At the brewery, the beer-savvy Bendite or visitor can consume four small Deschutes beers for free at the conclusion of one of the daily brewery tours, then walk across the street for some more brews at the ice skating rink before heading onto the

ice for some drunken skating among children. Skate rentals are just $3.

In response to the Parks & Rec request, committee member and cannabis attorney Michael Hughes pointed out this disconnect.

“The word for that is hypocrisy,” he said. “I can’t vote for anything that’s hypocritical. That’s just the way I was raised.”

The Committee narrowly voted down the Parks & Rec buffer request by a vote of 4-3.

But it did add a rule requiring businesses to have a 150-feet buffer around childcare businesses. The actual value of this regulation is questionable, since the DiamondTree store on Galveston Avenue is already within the buffer of Westside Shorty’s.

The regulation will not apply retroactively, so Bend is now faced with the risk that someone who purchases cannabis at DiamondTree will walk down the street and get cannabis into the hands of preschoolers. This is something that would be less likely to happen, apparently, if there were only a few more feet between the store and the day care.

But how would this happen, exactly?

And why would it? And why is the City not concerned about patrons of 10 Barrel Brewing walking across the street and doing the same thing with some Swill? As Jeremy Kwit, advisory committee member and president of Bend medical dispensary Bloom Well so succinctly put it, “I’ve not heard of a single case of somebody purchasing cannabis and throwing it over the fence of a daycare.”
