OPINION Letters MALHEUR & STANDING ROCK
While the click-bait headlines and sky-is-falling tone in The Source Weekly recent cover story on fish relocation efforts on the Deschutes River certainly attract more readers, the whole story is broader and far more complex. Central Oregon’s irrigation districts are currently working with more than 20 stakeholders tocomplete the Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan for federal review and approval. Together with state and federal agencies, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Portland General Electric, and local conservation groups, this collaborative, scientifically-based multi-species plan will create a comprehensive strategy to effectively protect and enhance natural habitat while meeting the water needs of our community. The health of the Deschutes River is a complex issue that dozens of groups have spent years trying to solve. The solution to this problem is not a quick fix or something that can be done overnight. While the development of the Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan may not be moving as fast as some would like, it’s the best way to ensure productive, long-term results. And while it has indeed taken time to draft that plan, we continue to make progress towards its completion. The districts will continue to work with our partners to evaluate potential options for managing river flows. And regardless of what additional changes might be appropriate in the short-term, the long-term approach is still the same: We need to modernize our existing delivery systems. Such modernization includes conservation efforts like piping and lining canals, which requires significant funding. Our efforts are inclusive, science-based, and meant to benefit everyone who lives and works in Central Oregon. We take our responsibility to Central Oregon seriously. Those who came before us made Central Oregon what it is today by carving more than 700 miles of canals out of dense volcanic rock using only horses, shovels, and primitive machinery. Today we are tasked with overseeing this vital network while managing the challenges of upgrading a century-old system in a way that best serves the needs of our patrons now and in the future in addition to the needs of our wildlife. We are continually looking for ways to improve upon decades-old practices in order to manage the region’s water responsibly so there will be water for all in the years, decades, and centuries to come.
Corporate profit is the bottom line differentiating the aggressive armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon from the peaceful protection of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation’s tribal lands in North Dakota. Corporations did not gain financially from the occupation of the Malheur Refuge but privatization of public lands to benefit the Aggressors was the incentive for the occupation. Taxpayers will pay for costs including policing, legal processes, environmental damage and destruction of Federal property. Harney County will struggle to heal the wounds of its community created by the invasion. Fossil fuel corporate profits from the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota will range in the billions of dollars. Corporate greed has dictated every decision and action against Native Americans striving to protect their water, lands, air, culture and sacred spiritual sites. Racism is the key to understanding the reaction of State Power in both situations. Armed white Christian men exercising their inherent superiority to claim the right of eminent domain over Federal land was allowed to destroy property, terrorize a community, travel freely, occupy Federal buildings and “borrow” Federal property. Taxpayers are burdened with the expense of policing which amounted to police observing the situation for months with minimum involvement. The power of the military/police state has been unleashed against the Peaceful Protectors of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation who are neither white nor privileged. National Guard, police, Morton County Sheriff and deputies, corporate private security goons and possibly Federal enforcement agencies have been mobilized to protect investments and profits of fossil fuel corporate capitalists. Armored vehicles, assault weapons, helicopters, LRAD’s, pepper spray, rubber bullets, metal percussion caps, infiltrators, attack dogs and police in full riot gear have been used to intimidate, injure, arrest and repress Peaceful Protectors on their trial lands. Taxpayers will pay for these weapons and protective services for the fossil fuel corporations. The White Men with Guns who occupied the Malheur for months were accorded their full range of legal rights. The Peaceful Protectors at Standing Rock have been arrested en masse, brutalized and denied any semblance of basic human rights. The prosecution charged the Aggressors at Malheur with conspiracy, one of the most difficult charges to prove in court. The case was tried by a white jury. It is incredible to believe that anyone was surprised by the

“Not Guilty” verdict. The immediate reaction to the verdict was to ramp up the Fear Meter with concern that White Guys with Guns would be emboldened to pursue their goal to privatize public lands justifying increased police state intervention.

MALHEUR VERDICT The opinion article regarding the Malheur Verdict reflects my thoughts in words. Thank you. For me, the verdict is further evidence that I am subject to a system of laws, not justice, that enables narcissistic folk to use for financial gain and notoriety. Also discomfiting to me is that team Bundy now has evidence that “GOD,” supports their endeavors as evidenced by acquittal. Mayhem, disruption, and implied threats of gun violence are justified to exonerate a small clutch of individuals from all responsibility for their egregious behavior to the tune of nine million dollars, let alone weeks of angst and disruption for many other fellow citizens who are stuck with their tab. This verdict sets a dangerous precedence.

OPINION
Septic-to-Sewer transition shouldn’t bankrupt some of our most vulnerable Bend residents WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / November 17, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE
6
W
hen we heard about outrageous costs associated with state-required sewer connections in southeast Bend’s Old Farm District, we were skeptical. A $50,000 bill to trench a 91-foot line to connect a SE Tapadera Street home to the city’s sewer seemed outrageous. We initially thought it simply couldn’t be accurate. It is. Bend City Engineer Ryan Oster confirmed the cost to the Source Weekly, saying it could cost $40,000 to $80,000 to trench and connect required sewer lines—all depending on a number of conditions, including rocky terrain, of which Bend has plenty below the soil surface. The home in question on SE Tapadera serves as the talking point for a major problem facing the City of Bend, but it’s far from an isolated case. City engineers say there are thousands of homes inside city limits where septic systems are beginning to fail due to age. If they are within 300 feet of a city sewer line, the State of Oregon requires homes move from septic systems and be connected to city sewer lines. The area in question was annexed nearly 20 years ago. The city has had years to head off the problem and to save homeowners tens of thousands. It failed to do so. Local Improvement Districts, or LIDs, could have been formed to spread and dramatically lower the cost among groups of residents, but they weren’t. We agree with Councilor-elect Justin Livingston who asked, “Where was the leadership?”
While we agree that older septic systems inside city limits are becoming a health and environmental hazard, the city’s non-approach to finding solutions is unacceptable. Many of the residents, such as Carolyn Crawford and Glenda Maddox, who own the home on SE Tapadera Street, don’t have the money. Their health is failing, and like many aging people, they’re living on a fixed income. They haven’t been able to sell their home and move into a 55+ community, as they desire, because of the sewer burden. The city elected to annex an area where many residents would have preferred to remain outside city limits. Meanwhile, there have been changes to the makeup of the City Council, which talks of affordable housing on one hand while residents are required to shell out their life savings to meet high cost housing requirements. Urgent solutions are needed for them. The formation of LIDs, grant funding, low-cost financing and other options need to be explored. Trenching sewer lines shouldn’t cost $80,000 to a single home. The city knew the problem was coming. Other cities such as Portland and Seattle have dealt with it. If Bend Councilors lived in a similar situation, we believe the problem would have been handled much more urgently. It’s time to find equitable solutions for these residents who are paying their taxes and who find themselves gobbled up in the city’s annexation craze of years past. SW
A GLIMPSE INTO OREGON’S IMMIGRANT PAST Kam Wah Chung highlights the enterprising efforts of two Chinese settlers

T
hey came to find employment in order to help support their families back in China. Some were farm laborers. Some constructed the railroads. Others worked in the mines and forests. Some became cooks; others opened laundries. Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, Jacksonville, John Day, Pendleton, La Grande and Baker City all had substantial populations of Chinese laborers who helped shape Oregon’s early history. Two notable Chinese men – one a healer and one a businessman -- helped shape the early history of John Day, honored today at the Kam Wah Chung Heritage site. Gold fever was not only strong in California but in Oregon as well. Between 1862 and 1899, nearly a billion dollars worth of gold—in today’s dollar— was extracted from the hills south of John Day. Chinese laborers played an important role in those mines and had an encampment in nearby Canyon City. According to Carol Faulkner, who leads tours at the heritage site, the encampment burned down under suspicious circumstances in 1885. They weren’t allowed to rebuild, so they moved to John Day. “Sometimes on Saturday night, the cowboys would get drunk and ride through here and they would start shooting at the [Kam Wah Chung] building,” says Faulkner. From inside the building, bullet holes that penetrated the entry door are clearly visi-
ble. Iron sheets were placed over doors and windows for protection. The Kam Wah Chung building was built in the 1870s and later became home to Ing “Doc” Hay and his business partner Lung On. It served as a store and apothecary for the Chinese population in the area. Both Hay and Lung On migrated to John Day in the late 1800s, and their building still contains many of the items they left behind. Lung On died in 1940. Hay abandoned the building in 1948 when he became ill, and he died in 1952. As a young man, Doc Hay was thought to have apprenticed as a healer in China. Practicing in John Day, he would evaluate a patient’s health problem by measuring their pulse. “He could read 24 pulse points, and then would devise an herbal formula to treat it,” says Faulkner. Today the apothecary contains nearly 500 herbs and other substances that Hay ordered from China. One of the more notable treatments involved using ground up dinosaur bones for mental disorders. In the early days of his practice, Doc Hay would not assume his patients would have measuring cups in order to mix the correct proportions of ingredients. But almost everyone had beer bottles, so Hay wrote his instructions telling patients how many beer bottles of water to use in the
Letdo theu�
boiling of the medicinal herbs. The gold mines began shutting down in the late 1800s. Because many Chinese people had left the area by 1900, Hay had to transition his clientele from Chinese to white folks. A major turning point in his acceptance in the community occurred when a local ranching family—whose descendants still live in the area—called Doc Hay to cure their son. He had tetanus, and white doctors said they couldn’t help him and expected him to die. Doc Hay treated the young man and he lived. Soon Doc Hay had patients coming from Washington, Idaho and California. Still, there was hostility from the medical establishment. He was brought up on charges three times for practicing without a license. According to Faulkner, the first time he was acquitted in an hour and a half. The second time, local residents refused to sit on the jury. The third time, the judge threw the case out. By the end of his life, Doc Hay’s reputation was well respected in the community. Medical talent seems to run in his family. Hay’s great-great-grand-nephew, Robert M. Wah, was elected President of the American Medical Association for 2014-15. Wah is a practicing reproductive endocrinologist and teacher at the National Institutes of Health and the Walter Reed National Medical Center. Doc Hay’s partner, Lung On, was an astute businessman. “He was a boot-

legger during prohibition,” says Faulkner. Beneath a trap door in the store, approximately 100 bottles of alcohol were found and later confiscated by the city. There was also some opium trade. But that was only one aspect of Lung On’s enterprises. He also opened the first automobile dealership east of the Cascades, and he ran the only gas station in the county. The goal of most Chinese people who came to America was to return home. It was important for them to be buried near family who could tend to their graves. But Doc Hay and Lung On chose to be buried in John Day. “They had ample resources to make another choice, so we assume this became their true home,” Faulkner speculates. Indeed, after Doc Hay died, $23,000 in uncashed notes and checks from patients were discovered among his belongings. Doc Hay’s wish was that the building where he practiced medicine be deeded to the city of John Day and turned into a museum. That wish was forgotten when the building was abandoned, only to be discovered by the city in 1967. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic places in 1973 and designated a national historic landmark in 2005.

Hate Rash
As Gov. Brown issues a statement against hate, Central Oregon is not immune to racial incidents By Nicole Vulcan
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 19th
boys making intimidating comments about Latinos. Barrajas says his family has avoided contacting the school thus far out of fear of venturing out. “My sister wants to go do this, but at the same time she’s scared to leave her home. It’s such an uncertain time for everybody, but for Latinos especially,” Barrajas said. Other families have also feared sending their kids back to school, and have skipped participating in events such as Friday’s Veterans Day parade, according to Oscar Gonzalez, empowerment programs manager at the Latino Community Association. Gonzalez also says a veterans event at Bend High last week included chants of “Build the Wall.” Gonzalez says they've requested a meeting with Bend-La Pine’s superintendent, but so far have not been successful. As of press time Tuesday, Bend-La Pine Schools officials refuse to comment on whether they have specific safety measures in place to respond to the incidents, referring instead to the district’s standing intervention strategies and harassment policies. Julianne Repman, director of communication and safety at Bend-La Pine Schools told, the Source Weekly Thursday that teachers and students were having in-class discussions about tolerance, and issued the following blanket statement: “We will not allow bullying, harassment or discrimination. We will not tolerate hateful language or behavior. We will not condone any violation of board policy or state or federal laws. Students who are found to be in violation of district policies and our code of conduct will be subject to discipline, up to and including expulsion.” Local activist Greg Delgado, who sits on the board of CAUSA, the state’s immigrant rights coalition, says he’s working with community members to approach the district about specific incidents of racial harassment. “They’re good about dismissing us,” Delgado said of Bend-La Pine Schools. “But it’s not about reprimanding… it’s about meaningful conversations.” Parents, including Bear Creek parent Kattaryna Stiles, want more. “I understand that school district has a policy of protecting students when incidents happen, but if this is happening in our community, we cannot cover it up,” said Stiles, who sits on the site council at Bear Creek. “We need to know so that we can protect our children from becoming victims rather than protecting the abusers, and so that our community can come together to stop this from happening again.” SW

O
n Monday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown issued a statement calling for an end to hate in the wake of the election. “Hate has no place in the Oregon we love,” said Gov. Brown. “I refuse to let hate and discrimination divide our state and our people. We must work together as Oregonians and as Americans to build more inclusive and equitable communities.” Nationwide, civil rights groups have reported dozens of verbal and physical assaults against minorities since the election, according to a Nov. 14 report in The New York Times. Central Oregon is no exception. At Bend-La Pine Schools, officials are not offering specific information about incidents involving alleged harassment and threats at Bend schools this week. On Nov. 9, law enforcement officers were called to High Desert Middle School, a school offering Spanish immersion programming on Bend’s southeast side, for a report of harassment. On the same day, students reportedly made "Go back to Mexico" comments to at least one Latino student. Later, another source says students held a boy’s hands back and tossed water bottles and sticks at him. On Nov. 10 the school made another call to 911 to report a parent threatening a staff member. According to dispatch data, the incident was sparked by a discipline case involving a student. High Desert students were kept indoors following the incident Thursday. The administration at High Desert did not respond to requests for information, and district officials offered no specific details. A parent at High Desert Middle School, Kelly (who declined to provide her full name), said Tuesday she received no word from school officials about any incidents, but agreed that officials should be more forthcoming. “Just for the safety of my child, at least… for the safety of all these children.” Just before press time, High Desert released a letter to parents, saying "we have had students engage in inappropriate actions in the last few days – from bullying to messing around in the lunch room to fighting; and they have been disciplined appropriately for their engagement." Meanwhile, community members report a racially-charged atmosphere in at least three other schools, including Bear Creek Elementary, Mountain View High School and Bend High School. Rodrigo Gaspar Barrajas, a local resident, says his niece was forced to skip class at Mountain View following the election, to avoid a group of

Aesop Rock ushers in his 40th year with a new album and a new tour By Alan Sculley

s a rapper who’s now 40, Aesop Rock doesn’t have much company in pursuing his goal to stay relevant, grow his audience and continue to progress musically. “I have very few role models in rap that are still not only going, but really trying to push what they’ve done somewhere new,” Aesop (real name Ian Bavitz) said. “It’s actually pretty disheartening. Sure—you could name me a handful of older rappers that still do it, fine. But there’s no real precedent for continued progress to be the norm.

then signed to El-P’s Def Jux label, releasing five full-length albums (the last of which, 2007’s “None Shall Pass,” debuted at No. 50 on Billboard magazine’s all-genre Top 200 album chart). By that time, Aesop had begun to emerge from the underground scene and was making his presence felt in the mainstream hip-hop/rap world. His deal with Def Jux ended when the label was put on “hiatus” in 2010. Aesop then surfaced on the Rhymesayers label in 2011, collaborating with producer/rapper and former Def Jux labelmate Rob Sonic in the group Hail Mary Mallon, before his next solo album, “Skelethon,” arrived a year later. That album debuted at No. 21 on the Top 200 album chart and No. 1 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart

He didn’t just burst onto the scene with a major label deal and an initial breakout hit or two. Instead, Aesop spent much of his career in indie and underground rap circles.

and found Aesop gaining more of a mainstream music audience. “The path I took is just me taking baby steps in an attempt to stay comfortable,” Aseop said. “Being underground, or less popular, etc, it’s just a side effect of what I did anyway. I liked a scene that wasn’t really that popular to begin with. This is all niche s***. As I got older I attempted to twist it into a job, which so far has maintained. But this is the only path I’ve really known. I always just do my thing and assume people will seek it out if they’re that interested.”
Now with his new album “The Impossible Kid,” Aesop appears poised to further expand his audience. The album has received strong reviews and opened at No. 2 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart and No. 3 on its Top R&B/ Hip-Hop Albums chart, while checking in at No. 30 on the Top 200. The reality of reaching age 40 was a major source for inspiration for “The Impossible Kid.” “That’s pretty much what 'The Impossible Kid' is largely about, just kinda staring at 40 and thinking, OK, what now?” he said. “It’s a lot of reflective songs, and some are even an attempt to re-gather and not let old baggage hold me back. I do have this desire as of late to diversify and really attempt to get involved in as much as possible. My skill set is so niche, that it starts getting a little scary at my age.

This guy is so hardcore, he was shot in a recording studio in 2015, only to be back in the studio recording the next day. His tour is called the “F*ck Donald Trump Tour,” so expect a bit of catharsis. // 7pm. Midtown Ballroom, 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend. $26-$29.
JAZZ GREAT—By some accounts, Benny Green is the most accomplished jazz musician to grace the stage in Bend. Jazz lovers admire him for his serious skills on the piano; those newer to the scene are blown away by Green’s energy on the stage. Seriously one of the greatest jazz pianists...like ever. A must-do as part of the Riverhouse on the Deschutes Jazz Series. // 6:30pm both nights. Riverhouse on the Deschutes, 3075 N Hwy 97, Bend. $52.

Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $8-$10. SW
PUNK MEETS BLUES—Wondering exactly what “punk blues” sounds like? Think R.L. Burnside meets the Black Keys meets the White Stripes—with a little more Portland thrown in.

The Capitol looks back at its first year
A Children’s Guide to the Death of a Pet
By Jared Rasic
Sean Day: Adapting to what our customers want us to be and evolving through that. We started off wanting our customers to have a very food-focused idea of what we are but after about five months of entertainment like DJs and live music, a lot of our customers didn’t know that we even sold food. So we’ve made steps to make it more of what our customers want or how they view our business, a night club/lounge/venue/bar, not a “restaurant” with entertainment. SW: How has booking shows changed for you? SD: Booking shows has changed based on numbers. We have a massive establishment
SW: What should Bend expect to see over the next year? SD: Expect bigger bands and more changes with our soon to come new stage layout, sound and lighting to really bring that atmosphere home. In the beginning, it’s hard for anyone to adapt to a brand new establishment. Point of sale systems are hard to get used to, knowing where everything is on a busy night, having the knowledge of what they are selling and so on. They have worked harder and harder every month to make The Capitol what it is and that has made everything run smoother. SW
Election got you down? Holiday stress settling in? Relax with these meditation apps By Annette Benedetti
W
ith election season freshly behind us and the holiday madness in front of us, it’s safe to say that stress levels are high. Left unchecked, excessive anxiety can take a toll on your health, happiness and the general “adulting” you’re supposed to be doing in earnest right about now. Studies show that meditation lowers tension and allows people to feel happier and be more productive. The Source Weekly tested out the following apps, giving everyone from beginner meditators to expert yogis a way to handle the stress of the season.
Calm This app offers multiple animated scenes—including Mountain Lake, Sunset Beach and Rain On Leaves— accompanied by soundtracks that soothe and assist listeners. If you’re just starting to explore meditation, Calm offers a seven-day program that walks you through 10-minute, guided, introductory meditations. If you already have a personal meditation practice you can try guided meditations that focus on a variety of goals such as manifesting more love and kindness, or even drift-
ing off to sleep faster. BEST FEATURES: The visuals and sounds are beautiful, clear and crisp, and you can set reminders that hold you accountable for your practice. For a monthly fee of $9.99 or yearly fee of $3.33 per month, you can unlock additional meditations. calm.com
Simple Habit These meditations only take five minutes and are appropriate for any level of practitioner. Simple Habit is all about efficiency, so they’re ideal
Beth Ramsey
The Source Weekly: What has been one of your bigger challenges this last year?
“A Cat Named Clyde” is a locally written and illustrated children’s book that does for grieving kids what “Inside Out” did for those with trouble expressing emotions. Honestly, a few pages into it, I got a bit misty myself, as Ellen Shelton’s rhyming couplets tell the whole story of Clyde as he decomposes and becomes part of the Earth. Barbara Hudin’s gorgeous painted illustrations add a wonderful new layer to the tale. None of it is morbid; it’s actually very touching and beautiful. We talked with the author about the background.
that needs to be filled often. We’ve noticed that high energy bands and DJs for dancing work well on the weekends, with a low cover or “ticket” price, all of which goes straight to the performers. On the weekdays, we’ve noticed that higher ticketed shows or bigger named artists work better, solely because there isn’t as much going on around town and people get to see a bigger traveling act up close and personal. We were concerned for a while that we would lose some of our regular customers on the weekdays because they can’t come down and just enjoy The Capitol for what it is, without having to pay a high ticket price for an artist that they particularly don’t care for, but those are the things that we have to outweigh when making crucial business decisions. We feel that it’s pretty cool that people can come and watch one of their favorite artists in an intimate setting.
The Capitol's crew has taken all the right steps.

for individuals on the go from sunup to sundown. Each 5, 10, or 20-minutemeditation is tailored to specific scenarios, such as feeling purposeless or preparing for a difficult conversation. The free version has a limited library, but for a fee of $9.99 per month or a yearly fee of $5.83 per month, you can enjoy a plentiful library. BEST FEATURES: You can sort through the library of meditations by teachers or by theme. There’s even a Post-Election selection from which you can currently choose. simplehabitapp.com
Relax Lite: Stress Relief This app offers 8-minute guided meditations for any level. A unique feature is the staged breathing techniques. Users can follow sliders with directions on when to inhale or exhale and a pie chart that fills up as each round of breath is completed. BEST FEATURES: It’s a simple, effective and easy-to-use app that only requires a one-time fee of $2.99 to access additional levels of staged breathing and a 13-minute guided meditation. Available at the iTunes, Android App stores and Google Play.
The Source Weekly: What inspired you to write the book? Ellen Shelton: I had written this book years ago. I was inspired by the scientific concept that the Earth was a closed system and that particles of matter, especially when we die, get sprinkled around everywhere for eons. When my daughters were young and we had lots of pets, it occurred to me that the idea that nothing disappears would be comforting to them when their cats croaked [laughs]. So, it’s really a book about a dead cat. How often do you hear of a children’s book about a dead cat? It’s a little niche. SW: Then you self-published it? ES: When we moved here, I knew I wanted to do something with it and I had a publisher who’s a friend. Then I met Barbara Hudin who is a longtime local here and quite a well-respected artist. She liked the story and thought she would do the illustrations. That’s how it all began. SW: What do you hope children take away from the book? ES: The death of a pet isn’t necessarily final. It’s also a children’s book for adults. I like adults thinking about how interconnected we are, especially environmentally. It’s a way of looking at natural processes. It’s kind of fun. I wanted it to be whimsical. It’s not a downer. I didn’t want it to be lecturing. I talked to a retired veterinarian who read it and they said if they had it while they had been practicing, they would have sent one home with every bereaved family. SW

uietly but steadily, The Capitol has become one of the most varied spots in downtown Bend. Depending on the day of the week or your particular mood, the venue can be used as a sweaty dance club, an intimate dinner spot for two, or a chill bar for a quick drink before heading deeper into the night. Over the last year the quality of the food, atmosphere and location has only improved. Co-owner Sean Day takes a look back at some of the triumphs and difficulties over the last 12 months.

Have the Thanksgiving YOU want to have with this guide to places you can avoid cooking
23
By Jared Rasic
Upscale The Riverhouse has always had a ridiculously delectable and traditional Thanksgiving buffet, but now that Crossings has become Currents, the menu has changed to something a little higher-quality. Listen to some of these course choices: poached pear and beet salad with blue cheese, hazelnuts and arugula. Or how about braised pork Osso Bucco, farro, root vegetables and a wild mushroom demi. For dessert you can go classic with a slice of pumpkin pie or go sinful with a chocolate chestnut mousse cake. ($19-$38) Vegetarian A Broken Angel’s Chef Richard Hull is hosting a seven-course Compassionate Thanksgiving ($55) at NWX’s Sparrow Bakery. Barb Troyer from A Broken Angel talks a little about having a cruelty-free holiday. “Now more than ever, it’s important that we act compassionately in all areas of our lives; by treating people, nonhuman animals, and the Earth with respect and kindness,” says Troyer. “This includes creating new cultural norms by choosing not to consume animals for our meals—this choice is not only kinder to animals, but improves our health and wellness, as well as protects against climate change and biodiversity loss.”
Conversation starters
Jodi Schneider McNamee
Not sure how to handle this year’s family gatherings in a divided nation? Here’s what to talk about, besides the elephant—and the donkey—in the room.
Go vegan this Thanksgiving, or we'll kill this turkey (but not the kid!). Harmony Farm Sanctuary.
Troyer also talks a little about the menu: “The menu will include savory harvest-themed dishes free of animal products. Dishes will be familiar to many—like local whipped Yukon potatoes with wild mushroom gravy, and sweet potato casserole. Mains will include creative dishes like sagesmoked portobello with grilled cornbread stuffing. This dinner is a chance to bring together the rapidly growing vegetarian and vegan community in Bend for an evening of cruelty-free dining while celebrating the rescued farmed animals of Harmony Farm Sanctuary.” Catered If you still want the comfort of your own couch while eating but without any of the pesky cooking, Bowtie Catering is offering a takeout Thanksgiving menu. Bowtie’s menu is thick with Pacific Northwest twists on comfort food, but they smartly decided to keep it simple for Thanksgiving. Owner Sanda Costello explains: “The chef decided to keep it simple and traditional for our first year doing store pick up. Hopefully, next year we get to play a little.” With menu items like an Oregon berry cobbler for two ($8), homestyle mashed potatoes ($4 pint or $8 quart)
an oven roasted turkey dinner ($25 for two or $37 for four), simple sounds divine. So fancy, it comes with a pony! Brasada Ranch is turning the holiday into a Thanksgiving weekend worthy of legend. There are complimentary pony rides, all day flag football championships, a three-course prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner ($28-$50), a Black Friday bloody mary bar, Santa’s Candyland, carriage rides and a screening of the Civil War game, so there is literally something for every single member of your family. Watch that sullen teenager try and act above it all when you give them a PONY TO RIDE! If we can look past our divisive politics and our bloody history, we can basically do anything. Thanksgiving isn’t just a time to be grateful for the people in our lives who love us, but it’s also a chance to eat so much we fall asleep looking at them or listening to them. If that’s not family, I don’t know what is. SW Find more information at: Abrokenangel.com Brasada.com Riverhouse.com Bowtiecateringbend.com
Getting the extended family together often has bumps in the road. Make one offhand comment about the hue of someone’s orange self-tanning lotion and you may just find your head in a pan of (also orange) pumpkin pie. While we might not be able to avoid our families (like many of us avoided going to the polls this November), we can try to get along. Here are some safe topics. Bring conversation starters Bring a list of “starter” topics that you can use when you need them, says Jane Hiatt, a relationship coach, hypnotherapist and Unity minister in Bend. “Come armed with topics and then, if you know your family is argumentative, get an agreement on the front end that ‘we’re not going to spend this holiday arguing,’” Hiatt advises. Recipes Everyone loves talking about how they sourced their ingredients from local farms and gleaned the recipe from their Aunt Martha. Just don’t start a battle by outing them for actually getting the recipe from Food.com. Your kids’ activities The funny antics of kids and pets (either yours or ones seen on YouTube) are usually neutral territory. Hover around this safe zone as much as possible. A music show playing later This is a perfect preamble to the news you’ll break later that you won’t be sticking around to watch football, but will instead be going out. Talk up the band enough and your family might literally force you to go to the show for the good of humanity. And when in doubt, follow the advice of “Saturday Night Live” from last year and just play an Adele song really loud. Everyone loves Adele. SW

T
hanksgiving is a tricky holiday. Anytime I’m celebrating a holiday that has some negative historical connotations (I’m looking at you, Columbus Day), I know there’s also a segment of the Native American population that is mourning. Growing up, if I saw a kid crying at the birthday party I couldn’t enjoy the cake. This holiday season is going to be even trickier, with the country (not remotely) healing after being divided down the middle during this election cycle. So what better way to build some roads or bridges or whatever metaphor we’re going for here, than to reconnect with friends and family? Adding the creation of a massive, several-course meal into the mix seems fraught with peril, so we’re here to recommend a few local Thanksgiving choices that don’t require you or the loved ones to baste or brine anything. Central Oregon has choices galore of places hosting a Thanksgiving meal, from the chains (McGrath’s) to the staples (McMenamins), but here are a few that might have slipped off your radar.

Beers, shots, and even cake highlight a dark tour of Astoria taverns.
W
hat makes for a good dive bar? A pool table helps, as well as a lack of light. The more graffiti in the bathroom stall the better. And the floor also has to be sticky and grimy, but not too sticky or grimy, or else it’ll ruin the buzz generated by the “Tuesday night shot and Mirror Pond” deal. Central Oregon has quite a few good ones—JC’s, the Westside Tavern, the M&J and its conveniently attached laundromat. But when it comes to Oregon’s best dives, the coastal town of Astoria (itself a little dark and sticky) takes the prize. To see why, walk down Marine Drive to the Uniontown neighborhood, originally populated by Finnish immigrants who came around the turn of the 20th century to work the local fish canneries. They built their homes up on the nearby hills—the colorful Queen Anne-style places that give Astoria much of its signature look— and when work was done for the day, they drank at places like Mary Todd’s Workers Bar & Grill, beneath the end of the Megler Bridge connecting Oregon to Washington. Going through the door to Mary Todd’s is like taking a trip to old Astoria, the Astoria of fishing and freight hauling, long before the coffee houses and “The Goonies” tourists came along. Bottles of booze are strewn haphazardly on a table surrounded by the bar, creating a sort of Sundaymorning-after-the-frat-party feel, and
the walls are festooned with art, signed dollar bills and old Polaroids documenting the highlights and lowlights of local history. Mary Todd herself works there most of the time, doling out cans of Busch and swapping verbal jabs with the ancient-but-still-smiling locals. Her cheap, enormous prime rib steaks also help the liquor go down just right. It’s all perfect. (The place is up for sale with Todd’s impending retirement, so head over before things change too much.) The Triangle Tavern across the street, meanwhile, is just as divey and locals-oriented. A stranger going inside is likely to be rewarded with stares at first, but grab a Vortex IPA from Fort George and start BSing with them about the Seahawks and they’ll warm right up. (During one recent visit, the regulars were hosting a surprise birthday party for one of their own and giving out slices from their cake, shaped like a pair of breasts, to customers. It’s that kind of place.) Looking for a slightly better beer selection in a dive? Head closer to downtown and visit the Voodoo Room, a dark pit with occult stuff on the walls, Buoy beer on tap, and what must be the grossest johns in coastal Oregon. The nearby Chart Room’s also worth a visit—it’s run by the Astoria Brewing Company and offers a wide selection from them, including the night-ending Bitter Bitch Imperial IPA. SW

He's retired, isolated and on a short fuse—the kind of man who would yell at strangers to get off his lawn. When a young family moves next door, an unlikely friendship emerges and Ove finds a new lease on life. This is a heartwarming and moving tale of not giving up on life while also never forgetting to see what's right in front of you. A lovely film.Tin Pan Theater ARRIVAL: A cerebral, science fiction think piece about the human race being confronted by aliens who want nothing more than to communicate ideas we have no way of understanding. Amy Adams plays a linguist who is brought in to decipher the circuituous and complicated alien language as world leaders struggle to decide whether to nuke the ETs into the atmosphere. The story basically boils down to people from different cultures and countries learning to work together, but it surprisingly never becomes cheesy or preachy. See the full review, p. 27.

ALMOST CHRISTMAS: “Almost Christmas” is another holiday movie focused on a dysfunctional family all coming together for the first time in years to see if they can send a night together without killing each other. With actors like Danny Glover, Kimberly Elise, Mo'Nique, JB Smoove, Gabrielle Union, Omar Epps and John Michael Higgins involved, expect tons of snarky passive aggression surrounded by a heartwarming look at how hard it can be to have a family. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX AMERICAN HONEY: A powerfully dramatic
take on the coming-of-age drama done with the types of characters usually ignored in modern cinema. The young people in “American Honey” are on the fringes of society, finding a way to exist without falling into any typical suburban norms. While the film is part road movie, part romance and part character study, it is mainly a look into the modern American restlessness of youth. Tin Pan Theatre
CERTAIN WOMEN: An anthology film that follows four women across three stories set in and around small towns in Montana. As these characters weave in and out of each other's lives, the viewer is given a subtly moving look at the different levels of empathy we have for each other and the loneliness we feel when those we care about don't really see us. Not as depressing as it sounds, “Certain Women” is arthouse cinema in the least pretentious way possible. See the full review, p. 27. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DOCTOR STRANGE: This is the 14th film in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which combines the films of Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Doctor Strange promises to be the weirdest and trippiest film yet out of Marvel Studios, and with actors like Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Tilda Swinton and Mads Mikkelsen, it's bound to be entertaining. The Master of Mystical Arts should be a perfect addition to the Marvel Universe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House
HACKSAW RIDGE: Mel Gibson returns to
the director's chair for the first time since 2006's excellent “Apocalypto.” His alcoholism and generally-awful behavior kept him in director's jail for almost a decade, so “Hacksaw Ridge” will be a test not only of his box office acumen, but
also his chops as a filmmaker. He tells the story of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who refused to bear arms during WWII, who saved the lives of over 75 soldiers during the battle of Okinawa. Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Truman. Since it's Gibson in the director's chair, expect this to be quite violent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House
INFERNO: This is the third adaptation of Dan
Brown's Robert Langdon mysteries and easily the best of the bunch. It's goofy and sometimes nonsensical, making for a big budget adventure that feels like it was put together by a series of mad-libs. So, it's not necessarily a “good” movie, but watching Tom Hanks writhe around as he has apocalyptic visions of Dante's hell is pretty entertaining. Just let the silliness wash over you. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX
JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK: The
last Jack Reacher movie was surprisingly good, with a really fun villain performance by Werner Herzog. There was something old-fashioned about it that made the film work really well. “Never Go Back” feels like a step in the wrong direction, though, as the excitement is dialed back to zero. Barely any action, a boring villain and flat direction make this one of the worst films Cruise has done in years. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SHUT IN: This is another one of those PG-13 horror/thrillers that get unceremoniously dumped between Summer Blockbuster and Oscar season. Sporting a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, “Shut In” follows Naomi Watts as a child psychologist in rural New England who is treating a young boy at her isolated and snowbound house. When the child disappears and is presumed dead, Watts starts to believe she is being haunted by the young boy. As she becomes more isolated in her lonely existance, she must question her own sanity or accept the fact that she has a ghost problem. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE ACCOUNTANT: Ben Affleck plays an autistic savant who is part ninja assassin and part geeky numbers guy. When he takes on a ruthless group of killers and a possible love life, it's hard to tell what's scarier for him. Sisters Movie House | Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN: Everyone you know was reading the book and so you read it, too. The film follows the book almost exactly, so if you're after the story of an alcoholic woman trying to piece together the events of a blackout, then you're in luck. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TROLLS: According to Max Landis, this actually started out as an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. Now, it's an animated musical based on the fluffy-haired toys that served as nightmare fuel for multiple generations. With the voices of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Zooey Deschanel, Russell Brand, Gwen Stefani, John Cleese and James Corden, it should be delightful regardless of how dumb the story might be. Advanced reviews are positive, so this might be a perfect one for a night out with the kids. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House SW

Closed Encounters
"Arrival" lands at the perfect time By Jared Rasic
SC
As the Chinese and Russian governments are quickly looking to attack the aliens, the Americans do their best to decode the alien language so they can learn exactly what the aliens need. Everything that happens in this movie, good and bad, happens because of a failure to communicate on the part of humanity. Director Denis Villeneuve (“Enemy,” “Sicario”) proves he is one of the finest directors working today as he turns the story into a very matter-of-fact look at an alien “invasion.” The film reminded

It’s everything or nothing with “Certain Women” By Jared Rasic

iewers who aren’t trained in the art of arthouse (or the films of writer-director-editor Kelly Reichardt) might complain that “nothing happens” throughout the running time of “Certain Women.” Indeed, most of the incidents in these three cinematic poems are mostly internal. The moments of drama aren’t sweeping, but instead barely registered moments of pain, heartbreak and isolation in the eyes of four excellent actresses. Based on the short story collection, “Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It,” by Maile Meloy, “Certain Women” follows three lightly intertwining stories about four women across small-town Montana. The stories don’t inform each other, other than thematically, but they still feel like part of a very compelling whole.
The first story follows Laura Dern as a harried lawyer whose determined client (Jared Harris) was injured at his workplace and denied compensation through a legal loophole. He hounds her about it so relentlessly and things escalate so quickly that she learns what a truly desperate man will do. The second short features actress Michelle Williams playing a successful woman building a dream house in the country with her depressed, cheating husband and sullen daughter. An old and mentally fading man in the area has a pile of vintage sandstone she would like to use to build her home. Will she take the sandstone? It depends on whether she will allow herself to always be the bad guy. In the third story, a lonely ranch hand (Lily Gladstone) wanders into

me of Steven Soderbergh’s “Contagion,” which took a viral outbreak and made it very commonplace. A science fiction movie that is essentially about the importance of working together should have come across as cheesy and saccharine, but in Villeneuve’s hands it’s hypnotic and distressingly plausible. In this current social and political climate, it’s a message we would do best to hear. Adams, Renner and Forest Whitaker are all excellent, but the script and direction both take center stage. Villeneuve is much more interested in setting up tone and mood than creating typical sci-fi thrills and action. It’s a night class being taught by an exhausted young lawyer (Kristen Stewart). Even though the class is completely useless to her, the ranch hand continues to go, twice a week, just to have dinner with the teacher after class. Watching these two disparate strangers try to connect becomes a slowly escalating exercise in heartbreak. Kelly Reichardt might not be a name that is very familiar outside of the arthouse world, but since 2006 she has made a solid string of quiet masterpieces. “Old Joy” took a serene trip with Bonnie “Prince” Billy into the Cascades. “Wendy and Lucy” is an emotionally brutal film about hitting rock bottom, that plumbed unseen depths in Michelle Williams. “Meek’s Cutoff ” takes place in the High Desert, following an ill-fated trip down the Oregon Trail. Most recently, “Night Moves” follows three environmentalists who plot to destroy a dam. “Certain Women” sits with Reichardt’s earlier work perfectly, another example of her profound talent for capturing the tiny moments in people’s
a very thoughtful film and the third act twist begs the viewer to go back for a second look at what has come before. “Arrival” is slow paced, methodical and demands to be seen. The thematic content alone is enough to make this film one of the most important movies of 2016. Just go into it aware that you’re going to love it or hate it. There’s no room for middle ground.

Banks fails to decode their incredibly complicated language. That’s really all I should tell you, since watching the twists slowly unfurl is part of the joy of “Arrival.” This is a heady science fiction drama about language and communication. Audiences after something with more action and spectacle will leave sorely disappointed, as this is much closer to “Contact” and “Interstellar” than “War of the Worlds.” Discovering the purpose of the aliens is the entire thrust of the film, which, even after the final reveal, leaves enough openended to encourage some fascinating speculation.

Each character in “Certain Women” is alone, whether physically or emotionally isolated. “Certain Women” just skims along the surface of true loneliness, but it’s deep enough of a glance to carry an uncommon weight.

of December, which is when we get enough of a snow dump that we can’t ride the trails anymore,” Williams said. In a bike-loving town such as Bend, though, the winter season isn’t the end of activity for many cyclists. The time before the first snowfall is designated for repairing trails damaged over the season. And some cyclists even keep those wheels turning right through the accumulating snowflakes.
Bend Thanksgiving Classic
Fixing the Trails Before that snow accumulation hits, bike enthusiasts do a lot of work to clean and maintain the trails for next season. This commonly involves smoothing out brake bumps, improving corners and building drainage channels to keep the trails rideable. Williams says several groups in Bend spearhead these projects, and recognized the Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA) for its recent work on the popular Whoops Trail. “They just had a work party and did some good work there,” he said. “I think they do it this time of year because the soil’s good, it’s getting less traffic, and you want to get it in good shape so that, when it does get snowed under, what get’s frozen into shape is a quality trail.” According to the group’s website, COTA members have already logged over 3,000 hours of trail work this year alone. The group is organizing another work event at multiple trails the day after Thanksgiving. They also recommend that riders avoid muddy

and recently worked-on areas to better preserve the trails for next season. A Cyclocross Winter Once the trails are cleaned and the snow is falling, most cyclists will trade in their wheels for skis or an indoor trainer. An elite handful, however, refuse to put their bikes away. Several Bend cyclists compete in cyclocross events during the winter. The sport’s competition season typically runs in the middle of some chilling weather. “You definitely go out on rides that are pretty cold, wet and snowing at the end, which I end up enjoying,” said Winberry. “I like that kind of weather. As crazy as that sounds, I prefer it over the heat and the sun. It’s partly why I’m drawn to cyclocross.” In fact, these steeplechase-styled races become more frequent later
in the season, culminating with the national championships in January. Winberry hopes to pedal her way there by competing in multiple races sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). This includes a few races around Oregon and the West Coast. “The Cross Crusade just finished up this weekend. That’s the series in Oregon, and one of the biggest in the country, actually. It’s the biggest, most competitive and longest running series, and it’s eight races, two of which were in Bend that Halloween weekend,” Williams said. “And then a big thing that people across the Northwest and the country are really fired up for is Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships (SXCX). That started in Portland years ago, and it’s as much a big party as it is a competition.” SW
Now in its ninth year, the Boys & Girls Club of Bend hosts the Bend Thanksgiving Classic with a 5k and 10k option. The race benefits Girls on the Run of Central Oregon, a unique organization that inspires girls to live a joyful and healthy lifestyle through a curriculum that integrates running. This Bend classic takes place at 9 am, Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 24, in the Old Mill District in Bend. The cost is $30$40 and participants can register online at bgcbend.org/activities/bend-thanksgiving-classic.

Shooters target one beautiful bird—but a Sisters rehab facility is nursing it back to health By Jim Anderson
SEA
established a nesting site for Grace and her new mate, who successfully raised two cygnets. When Wolf went to Sunriver to see the new family, she called to the swan, who quickly responded to her voice, and calling to her mate and offspring, came over to see the old friend who had gotten her through the fishing lure crisis. Perhaps the plight of the present swan will also end like that, but for the moment, it’s pretty tough going for both swan and Wolf. Just feeding the injured animal demands a diet that’s not too easy to come by. Thankfully, Marty St. Louis, manager of the Summer Lake Wildlife Management Area, sent buckets of vegetation with the swan to keep the injured bird in native food until she becomes comfortable with eating commercial swan mix. Then there are the hours Wolf spends getting help from other rehabbers around the country, including a waterfowl rehab facility in Minnesota. Twice a day Wolf has to enter the “waterfowl recovery room”—an addition to the Wolf home especially built for swans in 2014—to change bandages and administer medicines. The visits are not well received by the huge swan. If she’s rattled enough the swan could not only hurt herself, but cause severe damage to Wolf. But all comes into focus with Wolf ’s love of what she does for wildlife. How, why and who shot the swan is under investigation. The Trumpeter is a protected species, this one wearing a bright green collar that is impossible to

in 1958 and the Trumpeter swan flock slowly grew until its numbers peaked in the early 1980s. With species recovery, quick action by private, state and federal agencies provides a rapid reaction to the recovery efforts. Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, BLM, Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, The Nature Conservancy’s Sycan Preserve and even River's End Ranch all created conservation projects to favor the Trumpeter swan population. ODFW’s Waterfowl Stamp Program and U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s Partner’s for Fish and Wildlife Program have helped immeasurably. Also, several smaller scale private wetland projects have been accomplished with combined funds from ODFW’s Habitat and Access Program in the Summer Lake Wildlife Area vicinity. Elise Wolf, meanwhile, is using her personal funds to keep doing what she’s doing. At some point she wants to get Hope a pool so she can be more comfortable (which waterfowl need desperately). You can donate by going to nativebirdcare.org, where you can also see photos of Hope and Wolf ’s other feathered patients. SW

n late October, the staff of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Summer Lake Wildlife Management Area found a severely wounded adult Trumpeter swan and transported it to Broken Top Veterinarian Clinic between Bend and Sisters. The staff of Broken Top contacted Elise Wolf of Native Bird Care, a Sisters wildlife rehab center. From there, Wolf took the swan to Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates in Springfield. It took more than four hours for Dr. Curt Daly and his staff to remove the shotgun pellets lodged in the swan’s body, and to repair two broken bones in the left wing. That’s when the laborious task of caring for the swan became a full-time job for Wolf, who’s no stranger to the needs of waterfowl requiring TLC. Not too many years ago, a number of Western and Eared grebes crashed on roads in Central Oregon, probably lost in a severe storm. Wolf and other rehabbers had their hands full caring for the birds—and in the case of Wolf—a bathtub of grebes needing a lot of care. In 2014, Wolf became the principal caregiver of a Trumpeter swan she named Grace, who was suffering from a fishing lure embedded in its mouth. At the time, Wolf had only limited facilities for caring for the largest waterbird in North America, but made the most of what she had. Six days after caring for the swan she released it on the Deschutes River near Bend. That magnificent bird eventually made its way to Sunriver, where the staff of the Nature Center immediately
miss. Biologically speaking, the Trumpeter swan is an “indicator species” of healthy wetlands and waterways. The presence of a Trumpeter indicates clean waters and high quality habitats capable of supporting myriad plant and animal species. Trumpeters are also symbols of hope, showing that science, partnerships and perseverance can bring a species back from the brink of extinction. In 1933 fewer than 70 wild Trumpeters were known to exist and extinction seemed imminent, until aerial surveys discovered a Pacific population of several thousand Trumpeters in Alaska. With careful reintroductions by wildlife agencies and the Trumpeter Swan Society, the North American wild population grew to the current number of over 46,000 birds. Attempts to establish a breeding population of Trumpeter swans in Oregon began in 1939 with the initiation of a program by the Oregon Trumpeter Swan Program (OTSP), which moved birds from Montana to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and Summer Lake Wildlife Management Area.

What Does The Election Mean For The Housing Market? buyers, many of whom are currently making timely rent payments that are more than they would be paying for a mortgage, yet they are unable to qualify for a loan due to certain credit standards. The real estate industry is concerned that only the demand side is being addressed without really addressing supply. In housing, it is important to address both sides, as easing the demand side only can create a spike in prices. Many parts of the country, including our local market, have experienced the effects of high demand and low supply. One piece of good news is that the expected December rate hike by the Federal Reserve will likely not happen—at least that seems to be the consensus of most mortgage and real estate bloggers.

he housing market was pretty much ignored by both major party campaigns. Still, our local and national housing affordability crisis personally affects a large number of voters, and we are all affected in one way or another by home and rental prices. Because the candidates (at least on the national scale) did not address affordable housing during the campaigns, we really do not know what will happen with a new president. We do know that the Republican platform has mentioned repealing the Dodd-Frank Act and deregulation. The deregulation seems to be by boosting demand side policies such as financial deregulation, which could help if mortgage standards for firsttime and credit-challenged buyers are eased. Easing credit standards could be really helpful to millennial home-

This will sound crazy, but…should I tell my girlfriend, the love of my life, that I was abducted by aliens? It happened a long time ago, and I have no proof—just my own recollection. Yes, it could’ve been a dream, but even so, it changed how I see things and opened me up to new possibilities. My girlfriend is a schoolteacher and probably wouldn’t believe me. Whether she’d still stay with me, I don’t know. I want to be completely honest with her. Is that crazy?
—UFO-napped Strange how nobody ever manages to shoot video when there’s an alien spaceship in the vicinity—perhaps because they’re too busy recording that guy, two traffic lanes over, who’s picking his nose. Like you, science historian and Skeptic magazine founder Michael Shermer felt like he had a little meet-’n’-greet with some outer space dudes. However, he realized that his supposed abduction was just the effects of “sleep deprivation and physical exhaustion” because he had just cycled 83 straight hours in a bike-athlon. This—mixed with a “distant memory” of a TV episode about aliens taking over the earth—made for what Shermer calls “nothing more than a bizarre hallucination.” Shermer notes that UFOs and alien abductions are “1. unaccepted by most people in astronomy, exobiology” and SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence), “2. extremely unlikely (although not logically impossible), and 3. …largely based on anecdotal and uncorroborated evidence.” However, Shermer explains, “the human capacity for self-delusion is boundless, and the effects of belief are overpowering”— leading many people to swear that they actually did go on a ride with the little green men. As “evidence,” they’ll tell you they have really vivid “memories”—of, say, the aliens bickering: “Just put him in the trunk of your flying saucer. Nah, got all my intergalactic soccer gear in there. You take him!” But such “memories” are probably due to what memory researcher Elizabeth Loftus and her colleagues call “imagination inflation.” This describes how repeatedly imagining an experience can, over time, lead us to forget that the particular event—“heyyy, how ‘bout them aliens!”—came out of our imagination or a dream. We can start to believe it really happened. For example, Loftus and her colleagues told research participants that a dream they’d revealed to the researchers probably meant that they’d had an upsetting experience before the age of 3, “like being bullied by an older child.” The participants insisted that they didn’t recall anything like that. Yet, about two weeks later, many reported experiencing the bullying they were simply
told about—even offering details on how they were supposedly oppressed by some other 3-year-old. This makes sense, considering cognitive psychologist Robert Bjork’s finding that “using one’s memory shapes memory”— meaning that the more we recall something the bigger and stronger it grows in our memory. Also, in recalling some event—for ourselves or others—we have a tendency to “decorate,” adding details that can easily get merged into the particular “memory.” We quickly forget that we just threw them in to, oh, put on a good show at the alien abductee party because we were feeling all “my tinfoil hat is so last season.” Also consider “cognitive dissonance”— the discomfort from simultaneously holding two opposing beliefs, like thinking that your worldview was transformed by UFOs while also thinking that it’s stupid to believe in UFOs. We tend to smooth out the clash by going with whichever belief works best for our ego. So, in your case, to continue believing that you’re intelligent and also not cockadoody in the head, you tell yourself that your memory of your special vacay with the 00100010111 family has to be real. As for what to tell your girlfriend, what counts is that you had these insights—not the sense that a space alien opened your skull up with some high-tech can opener and dumped them in. If you mention the alien thing at all, explain it in light of the science on how our memory likes to dabble in fiction writing. While you’re at it, give yourself credit for your insights. It may help to understand our brain’s “default mode” processing. Our mind doesn’t just turn off when we take a break from directed, focused thinking (like reading, studying, or pondering something). Wider neural networks take over and do subconscious background processing— gnawing on ideas and problems we’ve been working on. This can make insights seem like they came out of nowhere. But chances are, yours are a product of your mind and your real-life experience—an explanation that, sadly, lacks the panache of claiming the space dudes were going to use the anal probe on you but weren’t sure whether you could afford the copay.

ASTROLOGY SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Does the word “rev-
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We all have ghosts inside us, and it’s better when they speak than when they don’t,” wrote author Siri Hustvedt. The good news, Sagittarius, is that in recent weeks your personal ghosts have been discoursing at length. They have offered their interpretation of your life’s central mysteries and have provided twists on old stories you thought you had all figured out. The bad news is that they don’t seem to want to shut up. Also, less than 25 percent of what they have been asserting is actually true or useful. But here’s the fantastic news: Those ghosts have delivered everything you need to know for now, and will obey if you tell them to take an extended vacation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the film “Bruce Almighty,” Morgan Freeman plays the role of God, and Capricorn actor Jim Carrey is a frustrated reporter named Bruce Nolan. After Nolan bemoans his rocky fate and blames it on God’s ineptitude, the Supreme Being reaches out by phone. (His number is 716-776-2323.) A series of conversations and negotiations ensues, leading Nolan on roller-coaster adventures that ultimately result in a mostly happy ending. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Capricorns will have an unusually high chance of making fruitful contact with a Higher Power or Illuminating Source in the coming weeks. I doubt that 716-776-2323 is the right contact information. But if you trust your intuition, I bet you’ll make the connection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some spiders are both construction workers and artists. The webs they spin are not just strong and functional, but also feature decorative elements called “stabilimenta.” These may be as simple as zigzags or as complex as spiral whorls. Biologists say the stabilimenta draw prey to specific locations, help the spider hide, and render the overall stability of the web more robust. As you enter the web-building phase of your cycle, Aquarius, I suggest that you include your own version of attractive stabilimenta. Your purpose, of course, is not to catch prey, but to bolster your network and invigorate your support system. Be artful as well as practical. (Thanks to Mother Nature Network’s Jaymi Heimbuch for info on stabilimenta.) PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Aren’t there parts of ourselves that are just better left unfed?” asked Piscean author David Foster Wallace. I propose that we make that one of your two keynotes during the next four weeks. Here’s a second keynote: As you become more and more skilled at not fueling the parts of yourself that are better left unfed, you will have a growing knack for identifying the parts of yourself that should be well-fed. Feed them with care and artistry! ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a 97 percent chance that you will NOT engage in the following activities within the next 30 days: naked skydiving, tight-rope walking between two skyscrapers, getting drunk on a mountaintop, taking ayahuasca with Peruvian shamans in a remote rural hut, or dancing ecstatically in a muddy pit of snakes. However, I suspect that you will be involved in almost equally exotic exploits—although less risky ones— that will require you to summon more pluck and improvisational skill than you knew you had. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Onion, my favorite news source, reported that “It’s perfectly natural for people to fantasize about sandwiches other than the one currently in their hands.” You shouldn’t feel shame, the article said, if you’re enjoying a hoagie but suddenly feel an inexplicable
35
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hesitate to deliver the contents of this horoscope without a disclaimer. Unless you are an extremely ethical person with a vivid streak of empathy, you might be prone to abuse the information I’m about to present. So please ignore it unless you can responsibly employ the concepts of benevolent mischief and tricky blessings and cathartic shenanigans. Ready? Here’s your oracle: Now is a favorable time for grayer truths, wilder leaps of the imagination, more useful bullshit, funnier enigmas, and more outlandish stories seasoned with crazy wisdom.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Kavachi is an underwater volcano in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It erupts periodically, and in general makes the surrounding water so hot and acidic that human divers must avoid it. And yet some hardy species live there, including crabs, jellyfish, stingrays, and sharks. What adaptations and strategies enable them to thrive in such an extreme environment? Scientists don’t know. I’m going to draw a comparison between you and the resourceful creatures living near Kavachi. In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll flourish in circumstances that normal people might find daunting.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Seventeenth-century British people used the now-obsolete word “firktytoodle.” It meant “cuddling and snuggling accompanied by leisurely experiments in smooching, fondling, licking, and sweet dirty talk.” The coming weeks will be prime time for you to carry out extensive experiments in this activity. But here’s an interesting question: Will the near future also be a favorable phase for record levels of orgasmic release? The answer: maybe, but IF AND ONLY if you pursue firkytoodle as an end in itself; IF AND ONLY IF you relish the teasing and playing as if they were ultimate rewards, and don’t relegate them to being merely preliminary acts for pleasures that are supposedly bigger and better. P.S. These same principles apply not just to your intimate connections, but to everything else in your life, as well. Enjoying the journey is as important as reaching a destination. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s an experiment worth trying: Reach back into the past to find a remedy for what’s bugging you now. In other words, seek out on an old, perhaps even partially forgotten influence to resolve a current dilemma that has resisted your efforts to master it. This is one time when it may make good sense to temporarily resurrect a lost dream. You could energize your future by drawing inspiration from possibilities that might have been but never were.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): By the time he died at the age of 87 in 1983, free thinker Buckminster Fuller had licensed his inventions to more than 100 companies. But along the way, he often had to be patient as he waited for the world to be ready for his visionary creations. He was ahead of his time, dreaming up things that would be needed before anyone knew they’d be needed. I encourage you to be like him in the coming weeks, Libra. Try to anticipate the future. Generate possibilities that people are not yet ripe to accept, but will eventually be ready to embrace

olution” have any useful meaning? Or has it been invoked by so many fanatics with such melodramatic agendas that it has lost its value? In accordance with your astrological omens, I suggest we give it another chance. I think it deserves a cozy spot in your life during the next few months. As for what exactly that entails, let’s call on author Rebecca Solnit for inspiration. She says, “I still think the [real] revolution is to make the world safe for poetry, meandering, for the frail and vulnerable, the rare and obscure, the impractical and local and small.”
yearning for a BLT or pastrami on rye. While I appreciate this reassuring counsel, I don’t think it applies to you in the coming weeks. In my opinion, you have a sacred duty to be unwaveringly faithful, both in your imagination and your actual behavior—as much for your own sake as for others’. I advise you to cultivate an up-to-date affection for and commitment to what you actually have, and not indulge in obsessive fantasies about “what ifs.”

t seems like an understatement to say that last week’s national election results were shocking, though perhaps not in Deschutes County, where more voters cast their ballots for Trump versus Clinton. One result that was not shocking, however, was the continued spread of legal cannabis across the nation. Recent national polls show that approximately 60 percent of American voters support legalizing cannabis, a solid majority that has only emerged in the last decade. And that preference was reflected in the election results, which have various national media outlets referring to the vote as a “landslide victory” and a “national tipping point” on cannabis. In the largest vote on cannabis in American history, voters legalized recreational cannabis for adults 21 and over in four of the five states where the question was on the ballot, as well as in all four states where the question of medical cannabis was on the ballot. Recreational cannabis is now legal for 68 million Americans, or about 21 percent of the population. The number of recreation-legal states doubled, to eight (plus DC). And medical-legal states are now the majority, at 28 (again, plus DC). The biggest change comes in California, where adults in the world’s sixth-largest economy will now be allowed to possess up to an ounce of cannabis or 8 grams of concentrate and to grow up to six plants in their home. “Proposition 64 will allow California to take its rightful place as the center of cannabis innovation, research, and development,” said a triumphant Nate Bradley, executive director of the California Cannabis Industry Association. The new law imposes a 15 percent sales tax on recreational cannabis, and an additional tax on commercial growers. The recreational market is expected to generate over $1 billion in new tax revenues for the state, and many voters in exit polls said they voted for the measure for the tax benefits alone. The law also allows Californians to have their criminal records changed or eliminated and jail sentences reduced.

And cannabis will soon be another “sin” allowed in Sin City, but like what happens in Vegas, it too will have to stay in Vegas. As in California, Nevadans will be able to buy recreational cannabis in stores, will have to pay a 15 percent sales tax, and will only be able to consume cannabis in private. That privacy restriction likely will not allow consumption in hotel rooms, so expect to smell pot wafting around the streets of Las Vegas, as it does currently in cities like Denver, Seattle and Portland. Nevadans will also be able to grow up to six plants at home, but only if the home is more than 25 miles away from a licensed store. Cannabis made a big step forward in the east as well, with voters in Massachusetts and Maine approving recreational cannabis. Only Arizona rejected recreational cannabis, narrowly. Arkansas became the first Bible Belt state to legalize medical cannabis. Voters in Florida set the record for the highest approval of medical cannabis, with over 70 percent of voters approving of legalization. Voters in the unlikely states of Montana and North Dakota also approved medical marijuana.
