Anyone who has driven, biked, or walked around Bend knows that it’s not always smooth sailing. Cracks, potholes, and ridges abound, and sidewalks and bike lanes are never guaranteed. It would be one thing if we could maintain the admittedly sub-par status quo. But we’re rolling downhill in a jalopy with no brakes. That’s why it’s so important that the City—and voters—pull the emergency brake and start pushing us back uphill. In OPINION, we give kudos to the Street Maintenance Funding Committee and outline what needs to happen next.

AVOIDING BACKCOUNTRY AVALANCHES

As the nation becomes embroiled in a debate over whether recent attacks by the terrorist group Daesh (aka ISIS or ISIL) should impact how warm a welcome we give refugees from Syria and other predominately Muslim countries, an immigration debate is reigniting in Oregon. In NEWS, we look at a lawsuit aimed at reinstating driver cards for undocumented individuals and why advocates say it’s a civil rights issue.

> HELLO, I LOVE YOU, WON’T YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME? OK, so maybe love is a strong word for our heretofore-anonymous letter writers and commenters, but it’s not as big a stretch as it seems. Newspapers are meant not only to deliver the news of the week, but also to serve as a forum for community conversations. But it’s hard to have a proper (and respectful) dialogue when you don’t know to whom you’re talking. In LETTERS, we explain why we’re no longer accepting anonymous letters.

BEND LANDLORD REBUTTALS I love how, when a person tries to use some clear facts to try to explain investment issues to crybaby renters, the writer is called a whiner. I don’t see that here. But anyway, how about some more facts for the renters who are economically challenged, brain-wise. Regarding the huge profits you think investment property owners make upon resale of a home, the eventual resale also generates substantial tax bills for the seller for costs called capital gains and depreciation recapture. Also, don’t forget the closing costs and six percent sales expense. These can easily add up to 4060 percent of the gains. Hold the home for 30 years to get that giant, inflated growth figures tossed out by the math challenged here and guess what, during that period the owner will have paid for a new roof ($14,000, ca ching, ca ching), new kitchen and laundry appliances, new hot water heater, new carpet and paint several times etc., plus other costs of ownership. Write off the interest on the loan? Well, yeah, maybe but only about 25 cents for every dollar it actually costs you. Clearly, few of your renters have any real understanding of rental ownership costs. And as far as owners being “lucky/hardworking/successful” enough to afford realty investments, consider this: I had three paper routes at age 13 and invested my earnings way back then in stocks, I worked at multiple jobs while going to college, got scholarships as a result of studying my ass off, promptly paid off my school loans after graduating, and lived for years with multiple roommates to be able to afford rent. My first full time job after graduation paid $14,700 a year with no benefits. Basically, I saved and scrimped all my life to save money for my retirement investments. I have no pension and my rental income is my retirement. What I did not do was spend $600 each on

At the Source, we have long allowed unsigned letters to the editor and anonymous comments on our website. We did so out of recognition that sometimes it is only under the shield of anonymity that people can safely share important information or perspectives. However, in the interest of honest, transparency, and good old-fashioned manners, we’re singing a new tune. From this issue forward, all letters to the editor must be signed to be considered for print. This space is intended to be a forum to discuss the issues of the day and to feature carefully considered perspectives from real people in the community.

smart phones, $100 a month on streaming data plans, hundreds of dollars on tattoos, $100 a month on hair styling, or spend $80 a month on $5 coffees or even more on $7 micro brews. You younger folks just don’t understand how spoiled you really are. You don’t have any clue as to how to save and invest money, and so you can only sit and complain to yourselves about how tough life is. My last comment that was also mentioned in that landlord letter and bears repeating: if investors did not buy rental properties, those of you who cannot afford to buy your own home would have no place to live except for going back home to momma and daddy! —Alfred Bailey

IN REPLY TO “HOUSING PRESSURE” (11/4) Bend’s proposed UGB expansion was rejected by the state in 2010, not 2005 as indicated in the article. Amendments to Bend’s planning code—as recommended by and/or implemented with the leadership of Councilors Boddie and Campbell—are in the long term more critical factors than the UGB expansion in addressing the City’s affordable housing needs. SDC exemptions, inclusionary zoning, and zoning for higher density and true mixed-use development are sound strategies for addressing Bend’s housing crunch. Our City Council has been doing good work on this issue and I applaud them. Our thoughts and condolences to those affected by the Paris Attacks.

BEND’S MISGUIDED TOURISM FOCUS Much concern has been expressed about affordable housing in Bend and cutting systems development charges seems to be the popular remedy. However, this only deals with the cost side of the issue and simply passes development charges on to the middle and upper classes. At least a part of the problem stems from the fact that the tourism and retail industries pay so little that the hundreds of people employed by those industries won’t be able to afford a home no matter how much you cut development charges. What type of house can you afford with an income of $10$15 per hour? Another contributing factor resulting from our misguided emphasis on tourism is that some of our leaders have pushed Bend to become a resort community and many in the community work to attract the wealthy, especially from California. This drives up housing prices and locals are not able to compete against Californians coming to Bend with fistfuls of cash equity. A recent ad in the real estate section of the Bulletin proclaimed proudly that Tetherow Resort has recently sold several lots for $300,000 and several homes for about a million dollars each.

Some like to blame the State of Oregon for making less land available for development. The alternative is to continue the sprawl that dominates Central Oregon. Many of us would like to see some way to slow growth as the livability of the local environment is rapidly being compromised, but I am sure the local business community and developers would not stand for it. They appear to dominate the City Council and local planning commissions. Who in this city speaks effectively for a non-congested livable environment? As long as we continue to grow rapidly, we will continue to degrade the environment. As long as an emphasis is placed upon tourism and developing a resort community, reducing Systems Development Charges will only amount to a token “feel good” exercise.

S SLIPPER Fueling the

Future

There’s no such thing as free lunch. That doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to get our metaphorical lunch. Rather, it reminds us that everything has a cost. It’s a relevant lesson as the City prepares to hold a public meeting about street funding on Nov. 30.

We are hopeful that when the City Council decides whether to put a (likely 5 cents per gallon) gas tax on the March ballot at its Dec. 2 meeting, it will recognize the wisdom of the Street Maintenance Funding Committee, make the only sensible call, and support the tax.

The Street Maintenance Funding Committee—who had the thankless task of assessing the best ways to pay for the repair and upkeep of Bend’s crumbling roads—gets this. Monday, the group officially recommended the City pursue a fuel tax, and that’s a good thing.

But that’s when the battle will really begin. Local fuel suppliers have vowed to fight a fuel tax and will likely have more resources to throw behind their position than the thousands of average Bendites who traverse these roads daily en route to work and school. Fortunately, locals seem to understand the importance and impact of road maintenance, and have shown majority support for the tax through surveys conducted by DHM Research.

The proposal strikes a smart balance. It recognizes that a 68 out of 100 quality rating is unacceptable for a growing city’s streets, and aims for an increase of five points over five years. It understands that infrastructure funding is one of the primary reasons we have taxes, wisely linking the cost of road repair to usage. And it accepts that the City’s general budget should reflect the priority that it places on this maintenance, calling for a larger portion to be spent on streets in the near term. Currently, deferred maintenance has put the City behind to the tune of $80 million. With 30 percent more miles of road to upkeep than ten years prior, the City needs to not only address the growing neglect of our current streets, but also plan and prepare for the maintenance of new roadways that may come with Bend’s future growth.

Investing in this infrastructure now is not only badly needed, it’s also financially prudent. According to the City, every dollar spent now saves $5-$12 in future rehab or replacement costs. That’s a solid return on investment. The alternative? Watch our already D grade streets begin to fail and the cost to repair them skyrocket.

As we look to the future, we urge City Council to also adopt the recommendations of the committee, echoed by the convening organization Bend 2030, and make multimodal improvements a priority. We support the committee’s suggestion to spend $2.6 million in SDCs on multimodal projects—bike lanes, sidewalks, and the like—and to find a secure funding source no later than September 2017. Anything less punishes residents who use lower-impact modes of transportation and makes the work of maintaining our roads that much more difficult. While alternative transit may not yet be a strong part of Bend’s culture, they need to be. Given the current conditions of the City’s sidewalks, bike lanes, and bus routes, however, it’s not surprising that more people aren’t ditching their cars. The Street Maintenance Funding Committee is on the right track and, for that, deserves the Glass Slipper. We can only hope that the City, and voters, will follow suit.

No License to Drive

Lawsuit claims Measure 88 denied civil rights

SIDE NOTES By Corinne Boyer

By Corinne Boyer 7

The class action allegation complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene by the attorneys at the Oregon Law Center citing a civil rights action stating Measure 88 “violated the Constitution of the Unites States by arbitrarily denying driving privileges to Plaintiffs and others based on their membership in a disfavored minority group” and that the Measure “was an improper attempt by the State of Oregon to regulate immigration.” Before Measure 88 reached the ballot, the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 833, which granted driving privileges to people who had been living in Oregon for more than one year. But people who opposed SB 833 gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot. “This measure was a referendum [saying], ‘We the voters hereby repeal the law that the Oregon Legislature passed,’” says Charles Hinkle, a lawyer at Stoel Rives in Portland. Hinkle, who taught constitutional law for many years but is not involved with the lawsuit, says, “This particular Measure targeted a disfavored group, which violates the Equal Protection Clause under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Equal Protection Clause does not say that no state shall deny equal protection of the law to citizens—it says to any person.” He adds, “Any person within the U.S. is protected.” Greg Delgado, the Central Oregon organizer for the immigrant rights group Causa, says what was a public safety issue has turned into an immigration issue. “Immigration work is under the jurisdiction of the federal law—not state law—so for the state to take away the drivers’ licenses and/or create this other special license for undocumented Latinos, it was targeting that race.”

Delgado became involved as a community organizer several years ago when he was working in a restaurant in Bend after graduating from the hotel management school at the University of Houston. One day a co-worker announced if he ever decided to own a restaurant, he would “hire all Mexicans because he could pay them less, and they would work harder.” Delgado is a Native American Latino from Arizona and found that dialogue socially unacceptable, and says he fights for healthier communities. Delgado sees how the failure of Measure 88 has affected Oregon families and says children are taking on parental roles. One person assuming the full responsibilities of transporting his parents and his four younger siblings is Gustavo. The 25 yearold lives in Central Oregon, works full time at a health clinic, and also has a parttime pizza delivery job on the weekends. He works seven days a week to provide additional income for his family because his father had to quit his second job and now walks, bikes, or catches a ride with a co-worker. “Measure 88 not going through, it’s not just [affecting] my family. I’ve got neighbors and a lot of people that I know that are in the same boat [as us],” says Gustavo. “If one of my little brothers is sick, I’m the one that has to take him to the doctor.” He also takes his mother to the grocery store whenever the family needs food. “I want to go back to school; I love my family and that’s why I help them, but it’s tough on me,” he says. Delgado believes the extra stress placed on families not being able to leave their homes creates an additional burden.“That fear, that isolation is probably the worst thing that happens to our families.” The complaint also cites the significant number of people impacted by being denied driving privileges, particularly Mexican Americans, who make up approximately 90,000 of the 120,000 undocumented people living in Oregon and thousands more native born Central Americans. Furthermore, the complaint states that the Protect Oregon Driver Licenses Political Action Committee set up a website urging voters to cast a no vote calling illegal im-

migration a serious problem because it has created, “a dangerous situation from the standpoint of national security and public health.” The lawsuit calls to attention the xenophobic and discriminatory language used in the “Opposition Statements in the Official 2014 General Election Voter’s Pamphlet [that] denounced the ‘Mexican’ consular ID as a possible form of identification, the possibility of increased activity by ‘Mexican’ drug cartels, and the ‘flood’ and ‘surge’ of ‘Central American' minors to our southern boarders.” “The pamphlet showed that Measure 88 was targeted particularly at Hispanic immigrants because there was no discussion about immigrants from Cambodia, Japan, France, or England,” Hinkle says. Willamette University Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Law Professor Norman Williams says Measure 88 is “just a reflection of hostility to immigration. In the Republican political circles, we’ve seen a great deal of attention paid to immigration issues and judging from the Republican primary debates, it seems to be the current that the more hostile you are toward immigration, the better.” Gustavo weighs in on that rhetoric, saying, “Everybody has their opinions of Latinos—like right now how Donald Trump [said] ‘they’re rapists and criminals.’ We’re hard working people and we want to do things right…but [we’re] not given the chance.” Ultimately, the Oregon Law Center is asking the court to reinstate driver cards under SB 833, which would forbid the State of Oregon, ODOT, and the DMV from enforcing Measure 88. Gustavo will continue to work two jobs until he enrolls in college. He hopes to pursue a career in the medical field, but in the meantime, he’ll continue to help his parents who—like tens of thousands of people living in Oregon—can no longer legally drive. “The kids, too, I feel bad for them because they’re kids, and they want to go out to the park or they want to go out and play,” he says, “[but] they have to be locked in [the house] like little dogs—it’s not right.”

The Bend Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Board will be meeting to riew and consider a project modification proposal by the Cascades East Transit to combine 2014 and 2015 Federal Surface Transportation Program funding to purchase one new bus instead of two. The FSTP was previously approved to purchase CET replacement busses by the policy board. Comments from the public will be heard during the beginning of the meeting, which will be Nov. 19 at the Deschutes Services Center, DeArmond Room, 1300 Wall St. at 4 pm. The Bend Parks and Recreation District will open a new recreation facility and community ice rink between December 19 and December 24. The opening depends on the completion of the construction of the facility. The Pavilion will offer skating, curling, and hockey lessons. Adult curling games and adult league hockey games will be held once a week. A variety of sessions including family, fitness, and open skating sessions will be held at the rink. Check bendparksandrec.org for schedules and fees. Fair Shot for All, a coalition of labor, healthcare service, and community groups will be asking to end employment profiling and wage theft and will also ask for an increase in minimum wage during the upcoming 2016 legislative session. The group is working to stop illegal employment practices such as employers refusing to pay overtime, stealing tips, and denying breaks. Andrea Miller, executive director of Causa said, “By coming together, we can stand up to discrimination, honor the value of hard work and build stronger communities.” The Colorado Bridge will remain closed through November 20.

VOLUME 19 ISSUE 47 / November 19, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

In 2014, Measure 88—which would have granted four-year driver cards to people in Oregon who cannot provide proof of legal status in the United States—failed with a 66 percent no vote. One year later, five individuals and two nonprofit organizations are suing the state of Oregon, including Governor Kate Brown, Oregon Department of Transportation Committee Chair Tammy Baney, and six other individuals at ODOT and the DMV.

Deschutes Public Library and the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council locations will go smoke free in January 2016. The new policy prohibits smoking, tobacco use, and using vapor at Deschutes Public Library campuses and the Cascades East Transit bus stops and facilities. The decision to make the locations smoke-free came after comments from the public that expressed interest in smoke-free public facilities. Deschutes Public Library and COIC worked to create new policies with Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties tobacco prevention and education coordinators. Information regarding the Oregon Tobacco Quit Hotline will be provided for visitors and staff.

ERIN ZURFLU “Once admitted to medical school, I realized my educational path was very unique. Many of my classmates came from Ivy League schools and their stories of crowded classes, horribly competitive classmates and astronomical debt left me speechless.

Mark Ransom and Patrick Pearsall may be the center of The Mostest, but they are joined by some of the most extraordinary collaborators the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Playing shows with Julianne Southwell on violin; Shireen Amini on percussion, vocals, and guitar; and the absolutely incredible Lindsey Elias on drums has made this band one not-to-miss. As staples of the Central Oregon music scene for years, The Mostest are easy to catch and always memorable. 7 pm. Thursday, Nov. 25. McMenamins Old St. Francis School. 700 NW Bond St. No cover.

The finalists for Central Oregon's Make-A-Band will play in a showcase at the Tower Theatre on 11/21.

he time is now and the final event is upon us. Central Oregon’s MakeA-Band worked its way through the audition and team-building section of the event at Silver Moon from October 6 to 22. Each day featured auditions for different sections of a band. For example, vocalists tried out on October 6 and 8, guitar and bass on October 13 and 15, and so on. Seven producers then listened to the musicians play, chose their team (in a manner similar to NBC’s "The Voice"), and then spent the next four weeks creating 20 minutes of music to play at the Tower Theatre. The seven resulting bands will then be given awards at the show, selected by members of the audience who can either vote in the lobby or through an easilydownloadable app. There are no winners or losers, just talented musicians thrown together to create art with strangers, friends, and producers they might not have ever worked with before. For some of these people, playing The Tower is a big win on its own. “Fortunately for us, we have found a model that is more representative of collaborating musicians and giving them an opportunity to perform with other musicians that they might never have the chance to,” says Jennifer Meyer, promoter and producer of Make-A-Band. “They may or may not stay together after this. This is not about the last band standing, this is about awarding musicians for their individual skills and highlighting those who are able to come together in a

collaborative way with only four weeks of band practice under the guidance of their producers.” It’s a tall order, but the bands have plenty of support. “We have a vocal teacher who comes in and helps us with the vocalists, we have some singer/songwriters that are helping with some of the original songs the bands have brought together. The bands may or may not be doing originals,” Meyer says. “They get to do whatever they want to.” Stephanie Slade (formerly of the MOWO band and currently in LAMP) auditioned four weeks ago and made it onto the Treason Sound Studios' team, Tiny Humans. Slade has always been a powerhouse vocalist and proved herself an excellent actress in this year’s Evil Dead: The Musical, but this is something a bit new for the experienced rocker. “After the bands had all been formed, the producers in each team would pick out songs they would like to have people cover. Our band discussed which ones we liked and disliked and decided to do three covers and two originals,” says Slade. “I don’t know about the other bands, but I am having a blast. I’ve made new friends, musical connections, and I am playing music with an 11-year old piano prodigy. It’s been an honor playing with such talent.” The Make-A-Band showcase is giving away more than $50,000 in awards, some of which are hilariously specific. There’s the Drummer Face Award (shirt and

sticks), the Flashy Pants Award ($1,500 in Saxon’s Jewelry, three-song mastering from Liquid Mastering, and a case of Humm Kombucha), and the Breedlove’s Beefiest BassLine Award (an acoustic Breedlove stage bass guitar) just as a few examples. There’s even a Hash-Tag Award, which gives the band that “shows incredible online/marketing skills throughout the MAB series” their own digital marketing app worth almost $10,000. The idea of a collaborative process like this is a sound one. While the Last Band Standing competitions were always fun to watch (especially the MOWO/ESO year), it didn’t bring those bands any more recognition outside of Central Oregon. Most of the bands competing then were already established or formed just for the competition, so after the contest was over, the bands would either break up or continue doing what they were doing. Make-A-Band puts these musicians together in a way where collaboration is the key ingredient, which could bind these talented folks in a way that no other event like this could. Plus, it is always a good thing to teach others (musicians, humanity, children or otherwise) how to play well with others. That right there might be the key to civilization...and this event.

Make-A-Band 6 pm, Sunday, Nov. 21 The Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St. $22

CHIRINGA & MA FONDUE The funky Portland band Ma Fondue comes to Bend, hosted by local favorites, Chiringa. Ma Fondue’s jazzy, funky-blues fusion perfectly syncs with Chiringa’s Latin American funk-rock hybrid and makes for an explosive combination and harmony of sounds. Also, with two Latin lead singers, there is absolutely no good reason to miss this towering night of music. 8 pm. Saturday, Nov. 21. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr. $5.

HONEY DON’T It’s a night of (mostly) acoustic folk drawn from an Americana/bluegrass wellspring with a dash of swing, country, and blues. Their laid back sound is the perfect complement to the normally relaxed environment of The Lot, but also promises to have people wanting to get up and dance like it’s a ballroom. Make your own dance floor! 6 pm. Thursday, Nov. 19. The Lot, 745 NW Columbia St. No cover.

Historic Vibrations

Frank Almond brings storied violin to Bend By Dac Collins

rank Almond is an accomplished violinist in his own right. But when he performs in Bend as part of the High Desert Chamber Music Spotlight Series on Friday, Nov. 20, he’ll be playing an instrument that has attained its own celebrity status: a 300 year-old Stradivarius violin. Almond currently holds the concertmaster chair at the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and serves as artistic director of the Frankly Music Chamber Series. Touring the world as a chamber musician, Almond has served as both a conductor and a performer. He is a member of An Die Musik, one of the most distinguished chamber music ensembles performing today. Also featuring a viola, cello, oboe, and piano, the quintet received two Grammy nominations for its “Timeless Tales” project. Establishing himself as a virtuoso at a young age, a 17-year-old Almond became one of the youngest prizewinners in the history of the Nicolo Paganini Competition in Genoa, Italy. He went on to earn two degrees at the Juilliard School and is currently teaching violin at the Chicago College of Performing Arts. Throughout his career, Almond has proven himself as one of the world’s premier violinists, but it was the violin that made international headlines last year. The antique violin that Almond plays is known as the Lipinski Stradivarius. On a website dedicated to the storied instrument, Almond explains that the Lipinski is one of approximately 500 remaining violins that were constructed by Antonio Stradivari during the 17th and 18th centuries and are universally regarded as the finest violins ever produced. The original owner of the Stradivarius, Almond writes, was Giuseppe Tartini, an Italian composer who gave the instrument to his pupil, Signor Salvini, who subsequently gifted it to a Polish violinist by the name of Karol Lipinski. After Lipinski’s death in 1861, Gewand-

haus Orchestra Concertmaster Engelbert Röntgen acquired the instrument and it stayed in the Röntgen family for three generations. In 1962, it was purchased by Evi Liivak, an Estonian immigrant living in New York who played the Lipinski in front of audiences all over the world, often with her husband Richard Anschuetz accompanying her on the piano. Anschuetz held onto the instrument long after his wife’s death in ’96. Now valued at more than $5 million, the violin was lent to Almond by the Anschuetz family in 2008. Almond spent the next six years playing the Lipinski and, in a

sense, building a relationship with an instrument that has been personified and revered by violinists for centuries. Then, all of the sudden, it was gone. As he explains in a 2011 interview with Vanity Fair, on a cold winter night in Milwaukee, as Almond was leaving a concert, the Lipinski was stolen from him by a middle-aged street criminal. Fortunately, the violin was recovered nine days later with help from the Milwaukee Police Department and the FBI. Almond continues to cherish and perform on the Lipinski. In fact, his most recent album, A Violin’s Life, represents the only modern recordings of the 300-year-old instrument. The album is like a musical memoir, featuring pieces that were composed using the same violin by Giuseppe Tartini in the 18th century and by Karol Lipinski and Julius Röntgen Jr. in the 19th century. The project was funded by donations from a Kickstarter campaign and it made the Billboard Top ten within the first week of its 2013 release. Capitalizing on the success of these recordings, Almond started a second Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for A Violin’s Life: Vol. 2. The campaign, which ended in August, raised more than $23,000 and the recording process has already begun. The upcoming concert on Nov. 20 will feature works from A Violin’s Life as well as the chaconne from Bach’s Partita No. 2. Violinist Isabelle LaForet Senger, founder and director of High Desert Chamber Music, will join Almond and McCabe onstage for the Moskowski “Suite for Two Violins and Piano.”

efferson County still has a bit of wildness left to it. While it incorporates Madras, Metolius, and Culver (with Warm Springs counting as a “Census-designated place”), there are still huge patches of wilderness in the Crooked River National Grassland, Deschutes National Forest, Mount Hood National Forest, and Willamette National Forest. While the area is abundant in natural beauty, the one thing Jefferson County and Madras in particular haven’t had is a state-of-theart performing arts center for those who appreciate indoor activities as well.

I was even on a committee over 20 years ago that was formed by local citizens to consider the feasibility of building a performing arts center here.

Shannan Ahern is the director of the new 572-seat Madras Performing Arts Center, which just opened its doors in December of last year. Here is an excerpt from an interview with Shannan, where she explains a bit of her background, the development of the Center, and what we can expect from the Center over the coming months.

We have a stage large enough to host a full symphony, sound shells over the stage to enhance the acoustics of musical performances, and award-winning acoustical ceiling “cloud” panels throughout the house.

One of Anseth’s pieces—a 48-inch-by-48inch collage of a buck—was featured on the cover of the Nov. 12 issue of the Source. She begins by sketching a drawing of the idea for a new collage. She then flips through old fashion and home decor magazines to piece together colors, which create her collage. “I compose a piece with a double-sided heat-activated glue and iron on every single piece of paper,” she says.

SW: Will you be working with theater companies to bring specific productions here, or will it be specifically for Madras students and theater arts?

Kaycee Anseth landed in Bend 12 years ago on an adventure with her ultimate stop being Portland. But after stopping in Bend, the native Tennessean never left. A similar adventure led her dive into the world of being a collagist. “Two of my friends were moving away, and at the time, I was an oil painter and didn’t have enough time for the paint to dry,” Anseth says. She constructed small collages, but the more she worked on them, the more she wanted to continue to experiment with their design. “I wasn’t satisfied, and I went from there.” Anseth is currently finishing a few collages and is aiming to have 12 pieces featured and for sale at the Workhouse. “I’m always honored to participate in whatever the Workhouse folks are doing,” she says. “They’re always curating really interesting work that people around Bend are doing that has a lot of heart to it.”

he word philanthropy often calls to mind high society galas and multi-million dollar endowments, but at its core, it’s much more simple and down-to-earth. It’s about promoting the welfare others, often financially, but not always. Giving back to the community doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Even the smallest gifts— whether time, money, or items—can have a big impact. Consider, for example, the emergence of groups like 100 Women Who Care Central Oregon and the more recent 100 Men Who Care Central Oregon. By using a collaborative model, these groups turn otherwise modest donations of $100 per person into a sizable gift by channeling them all to the same nonprofit. The names are a bit of a misnomer, as the women’s group now has well over 100 members and the men’s group—which held its first quarterly meeting just last month—is still a bit shy of that number. But the impact is clear. Instead of each person sending their $100 to a different organization, the group sends thousands to a single nonprofit, amplifying the impact. Or, look to the ways children participate in fundraising efforts. While even the plumpest piggy bank doesn’t hold much, a group of children can join forces

to create real change in their communities, all while getting a lesson in the importance of compassion. One local example is a tea party called Fin & Fina’s Giving Tea, a now-annual event created by two school-aged friends, and supported by their mothers. Their tea party serves as a fun opportunity for kids to collect items for families impacted by domestic violence—and to learn about the power of giving. In the same way that a simple smile or a kind word can change someone's day, so too can a modest donation of money or time create a ripple effect of change in the community. Because when it comes down to it, everyone has something to give. We encourage you to keep that in mind as you peruse the listings and profiles

of local nonprofits that follow. These organizations all contribute in some way—large or small, directly or indirectly—to creating the community we live in. We owe it to them to give back, in whatever way our means permit.

All Women Are WondeR Woman Muse continues to do good work By Jared Rasic

ith so many important social issues challenging them today, the women of the world could use a hero. Amanda Stuermer, co-founder of World Muse, believes in giving girls and women the tools and inspiration to be their own heroes, as well as champions for the rights and well being of women around the world. She and her organization are dedicated to cultivating and inspiring “the potential of women and girls to create positive change in their lives, their communities, and in our world,” and World Muse offers workshops, grants, and other services designed to unlock that potential. With weekly meetups, annual conferences, and other special events, World Muse challenges and encourages women to engage on a personal, community, and global level in a way that can truly change the world for the better. Muse camps teach yoga, mindfulness exercises, healthy nutrition, and other techniques to help women nourish their mind, body, and soul for an enriched personal life. They also provide women with a great opportunity to get involved in their community and form a strong network of supportive and socially conscious members.

around the globe, World Muse proves that you don’t have to be Wonder Woman to affect social change. Their empowering mission makes them the go-to starting point for all the support and resources a girl needs to make the world a better place in a real and personal way. In a time where the term social justice warrior is used as a pejorative in some circles and sexism is still highly overlooked in film and television, let alone behind the scenes, what Amanda Stuermer has helped cultivate with Muse is not to be underestimated. There is a very strong chance we could see a post-racist, post-sexist, post-homophobic time in this country with the growth of this next generation and her work should be right at the forefront. It deserves to be. Vist their website at theworldmuse.org.

Muse also raises funds to invest directly in projects dedicated to helping girls and women around the world. To get involved in this overwhelming wave of girl power, you can dabble your toes in the inspiring weekly meetings at Palate Coffee House (Wednesdays, 8-9 am), or dive headfirst into the annual Muse Camp, an weekend retreat that puts the power for positive change in your hands. You can also become a Muse member by donating to their many amazing projects, which gives you the ability to vote on which projects receive grants and seed money. Even kids and teens can get involved in global social change with school programs and teen summer camps. With an impressive lineup of powerhouse projects supporting the voices and rights of women

Cradle to Career

Better Together works to assist children and families By Corinne Boyer

“Better Together is a collaborative organization. We work with schools, nonprofits, and with other agencies to try an improve the way we provide those services so that we can get better education and career outcomes,” says Doug Mercer with Better Together. Better Together operates with one full-time staff member, Executive Director Katie Condit, and four AmeriCorps VISTA members. The nonprofit has four strategic areas in which it works to support children and families in the Central Oregon area. Through early learning initiatives— which include making sure young children have access to healthcare— Better Together also supports families by integrating them in schools through community organizations. The organization also helps stu-

“So we work cradle to career trying to advance educational outcomes and career outcomes,” says Mercer. One major area Mercer is focusing on right now is the organization’s Latino Success Initiative. By working with the Latino Community Association, Better Together is evaluating an after-school program that has been going on for 10 years. “They have moms come in and teach Spanish literacy after school to the [English Language Learner] kids, and they have this really strong belief that the kids who are doing that are commensurably improving their English language literature in school,” says Mercer. The nonprofit is currently working to develop a program called Future Accounts. “[It’s] something we are getting set up right now and this is the idea,”

Mercer says. “We want every third grader in three counties to start an education account that will be devoted to college, and if the family puts in money, it will be 100 percent matching,” he says. For the holidays, one of Better Together’s partners needs basic necessities. “[Family Access Network] serves families living in poverty with children,” says Executive Director Katie Condit. “This year specifically

oan Steelhammer has been a real estate broker for 38 years, but 13 years ago she was able to make her passion for horses a reality. She adopted horses deemed unsalvageable in a wild horse round up, leading her to found Equine Outreach. “I still have some of my members that I rescued—some were old to begin with, but I never had disabled, blind, and starving horses,” she says. Equine Outreach is a horse rescue and sanctuary, and operates solely from the assistance of volunteers. Steelhammer has taken in wild horses, horses bound for slaughter, some seized from a race horse scam, and she once brought in a herd of 40 plus horses—all of which were pregnant. “It’s been quite a challenge. We save them, rehab them, train and then adopt them out,” she says. Steelhammer also has volunteers who work with people with disabilities, young adults, and kids with Asperger’s, to help them have unique horse encounters of their

own. She says horses are therapeutic and “the minute they get there there’s something the horse does for them.” The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries—a rare accreditation that Steelhammer is proud of and refers to as the PhD of sanctuary recognitions, has certified Equine Outreach. Around 80 horses currently roam the sanctuary grounds, but Steelhammer would like to get the number down to 50. The nonprofit works closely with anyone interested in adoption whether they have no experience or are current owners or riders. They always need hay and feed, but Steelhammer says they’ll accept any type of donations. They’ve taken items like an old car and a sauna and sold them to “turn them into hay money.” Equine Rescue is also looking for volunteers willing to brush, play with, or to just spend time with the horses. “They need a lot of attention,” she says.

Social worker connects library patrons with resources WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / November 19, 2015 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Jared Rasic

ibraries have always been home to me. The fact that a giant building filled with stories, fictional and otherwise, is there, ready to be taken home at zero cost, has always struck me as something downright beautiful. Because libraries are also comfortable and warm places, they can also bring folks who have nowhere else to go. I’ve been using Bend’s Deschutes County Library for more than 15 years and while there have always been the displaced, mentally ill, destitute, and folks falling on hard times, that population has only grown over the years. It is rare when at least one chair isn’t taken up by someone just looking for a place to close their eyes.

In that work I found lots of people who used library spaces. Libraries provide a space that is open to the public, that is warm and well lit and comfortable and safe, and folks can hang out there all day long. So, a lot of folks without some support in their life, that are underemployed or lacking housing, come to the library

and figuring out what the need was in the library, what resources they were after, and if it could fit in the library. And they were able to say, “Yeah, there’s a huge need here.” I saw lots of people. I’m making about 500 contacts a year. That could look like meeting for 10 minutes to provide a housing application or

SW: How often are you at the library? SK: As of October it’s the first time we’ve been funded. So, the funding is pretty small right now, so due to the funding I’m in the Downtown Bend library twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 to noon, and then I’m in the Redmond library twice a month from 1 to 3 pm on Mondays. The vision is to get me into all six libraries on a schedule that looks more like 20 to 30 hours a week. SW: What would you recommend for people to do to help you in your mission?

What Sarah Kelley (a master’s in social work candidate at Portland State University) is doing at the library is nothing short of priceless. She helps people on such a fundamental level that just about anyone she meets will have their lives changed for the better by the end of the conversation. Here is a short interview with Kelley, where she explains exactly what it is she does in her own words. Source Weekly: In a nutshell, what it is that you do? Sarah Kelley: So, I started this library program. The program is in partnership with the Deschutes Public Library and the United Way. The idea is to put access and connection to resources where people who could utilize that support already are. My background is in doing community outreach work and helping people that are living in poverty connect to the resources they need to get out of poverty. To find better housing, to get onto health insurance, and to find resources in their community that would be helpful to them.

knowledge of community resources and connect those people to those resources.

because it’s a place they can hang out and have free wi-fi and get on computers and be comfortable for awhile. Putting these kinds of resources there makes sense because there are so many people who can utilize it because they’re just naturally there and it’s a really natural connection. SW: And you’ve been doing this for over a year now, right? SK: Yeah, I have. Officially I’ve been doing it over a year. The first year was a lot of program development

that could be meeting for an hour and getting online to apply for social security benefits. Through that time they were able to establish, “Yes we have the need, yes we have the people.” The library, in the partnership, they provide the meeting space, so they give me office support and computer support, so there’s no overhead and it’s a really affordable program because I can just go into a space that already exists with people that are already there and just take my

SK: I would say financial is our biggest need right now. That partnership with the United Way provides the budget, so any donations can go straight to the United Way of Deschutes County and be identified to go towards the social work in the library program. The more money we can get then I can expand my hours and that means I can add in the Sisters library and La Pine and Sunriver. It’s pretty significant. Also, I’m always in need of bus passes and gas vouchers so people who aren’t at the library can actually come and see me.

How to Give But even the smallest gifts can have incredible impact. Last year, individual donors were responsible for the vast majority of philan-

thropy, comprising 72 percent of total giving for a total of more than $258 billion, the NPT reports. By comparison, foundations were responsible for just 15 percent; bequests, eight percent; and corporations, five percent. To help illustrate the impact of gifts at every level, the nonprofits featured in this guide have indicated just how far different dollar amounts can go, and the concrete results of those donations.

Like most things in life, it’s all relative. To use the popular latte analogy, a month’s worth of weekday morning mochas adds up to about $100 month, or $1,200 a year. And while charitable giving doesn’t have to be about major sacrifice, it’s easy to see the impact with side-by-side comparisons.

SAFE FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN CENTRAL OREGON WHO WE ARE

Many families face crisis and no one knows. No one calls when they are hopeless. Safe Families for Children Central Oregon walks beside families by providing mentoring relationships for parents and temporary housing for children in times of need. In partnership with local churches, volunteers build connections with vulnerable families and open their homes to children. While their children are safe, parents can address the difficult season of life. Problems such as addiction, domestic abuse, illness, unemployment or homelessness can make it impossible for parents to care for their children. Children are especially at-risk for neglect or abuse as their parents struggle to cope with difficult circumstances and emotions. Safe Families keeps children safe and gives families hope.

t was early in the morning on March 7, 2013. Parishioners of Trinity Episcopal Church, at 469 NW Wall Street near downtown Bend, stood behind yellow crime scene tape viewing their church, which the previous evening had been torched by an arsonist. They were devastated. A second church building, St. Helen’s Hall, housing the Family Kitchen, which feeds nearly 60,000 meals to the homeless and less fortunate each year, also sustained damage but was able to continue operation. The Family Kitchen has served the Bend community for 27 years. When the smoke cleared and the sun rose the next morning, the crosses at the top of the church building and in the sanctuary were still standing. Church officials vowed that all things would turn out well and that damages to the landmark building, which was built in 1918 and is on the National Register of Historic Places, would fade into memory. While the arson case has not been solved, things are looking up at Trinity Episcopal. Many will say things have turned out very well. For retired Priest Celine Burke and church Outreach Chair Sylvie DeKalb, it was difficult to comprehend the extent of the damage to the two properties, which was estimated at about $4 million. That dark moment in church history has been replaced by new optimism and energy at Trinity Episcopal. The main church sanctuary has been refurbished, and it’s been

worship as usual since December 2014. Next door at St. Helen’s Hall, the Family Kitchen sustained less damage. Today, it’s a beehive of activity as more than a dozen volunteers busily prepare an evening meal for Bend’s less fortunate. St. Helen’s Hall also regularly hosts meetings for community groups and agencies. According to Burke, the building was purchased to serve as “a community meeting space” and groups such as AA, Al-Anon, Lutheran Social Services, and many others use the building on a consistent basis. This week the energy of parishioners and staff is focused on the church’s annual boutique and bake sale. Hundreds of handcrafted items from knitting and quilting to woodworking items and baked goods are offered for sale. All money is donated to several nonprofit organizations. For DeKalb and Burke, it’s the church’s way, in part, of giving back to the community that supported it after the devastating fire. One of the benefactors of the fundraiser is a program that sends children of incarcerated parents to summer camps at Ascension Camp and Conference Center in the Grande Ronde Valley, at Cove, Oregon, near the Wallowa Mountains. Other organizations such as the Latino Community Association and St. Vincent de Paul are also beneficiaries of the annual sale, which is scheduled this year for Saturday, November 21, from 10 am to 3 pm.

McMenamins buffet, I Like Pie Run/Walk, and The Original Vegan Thanksgiving.

all and winter are seasonal favorites for many people. Whether it’s the transition from heat waves and packed social schedules to a reinvigorated focus on intentional family time and other relaxing indoor activities, seasonal dishes and culinary occasions often play a central role in that shift. Bend has many upcoming options to get your holiday food fix. Whether it's take and bake at home, or an out-about-town food venture, it’s time to get down on some season’s eatings.

> Thanksgiving Food Faire Central Oregon Locavore is hosting its third annual Thanksgiving food faire. Thanksgiving brings the opportunity to celebrate family, food, and festivities with loved ones. This is an opportunity to celebrate those festivities while also supporting local farmers and the local economy. The cornucopia of local foods includes: Free range turkeys (quantities limited), breads, pumpkins, squash, potatoes, beans, grains, locally-made wines, beers, and spirits. They are offering pre-ordering of ready-made seasonal fare, which is a great option for those who are limited on time to prepare their food. Locavore is also offering a large selection of hostess gifts, with 20 local vendors participating in this year’s event. “The desire of putting on our food faire is that our patrons can reconnect with the historical culinary traditions that were forged by our ancestors,” says Locavore founder Nicole Timm. “Locally sourced and seasonally appropriate purchasing of food helps support farmers, the economy, and fosters sustainable living in the community.” 10 am-4 pm, Saturday, Nov. 21. Central Oregon Locavore 1216 NE First St., Bend. Prices vary. centraloregonlocavore.org

> Roaring Twenties Soiree

> The Original Vegan Thanksgiving

Do you ever find yourself enjoying the aural pleasures of listening to swing music? Or the sudden urge to break into dance when a Benny Goodman jam comes on? If so, this event may be for you. Hosted by the Assistance League of Bend, this 1920s culture themed event is sure to get you out of your chair, and will likely be one of the more memorable events of the season. Good food, good drinks, and depending on the participant, good dancing. Proceeds from this event will go to help clothe needy children in Central Oregon.

This event is being hosted by Bethlyn’s Global Fusion, and is a personal favorite amid the numerous selections this year. Vegan options are typically few and far between, and the creation of a Vegan Thanksgiving event right here in Central Oregon is a real treat. If you have not yet experienced Bethlyn Rider’s delectable culinary creations, then you are in for some delightful-palate experiences. Bonus: 20 percent of all profits will go to VegNet.

6 pm. Friday, Nov. 20. The Riverhouse Convention Center, 3075 Hwy 97. $100. assistanceleaguebend.com/Gala.html

> Mcmenamins Thanksgiving Buffet The heart of the event is aiming to create a traditional-style Thanksgiving feast. Any event on the Mcmenamins campus is a real treat, because it’s an old Catholic school taken over for the purpose of connecting the community through their special brand of socializing, eclectic environment, and whimsical ambiance. The event will have an assortment of culinary delights, including: carved roast, turkey, fireside port cranberry relish, roasted pork loin with Edgefield cider jus, poached salmon, garlic green beans, mashed potatoes, traditional dressing & old-fashioned gravy, fresh fruit, salads, brandied pumpkin pie, and assorted desserts. Come with friends and family, or meet some new people and enjoy a delectable dinner reminiscent of what your grandparents used to make. Noon-6 pm, Thursday, Nov. 26. McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 NW Bond St. Reservations required. $30 adults, $18 kids 5-12, free for kids 4 and under. mcmenamins.com/events/143899-Thanksgiving-Buffet.

“Thanksgiving is a great day to recommit ourselves to just giving and give thanks,” Rider says. “My passion in life is to cook good, healthy cuisine. It fills me up when I see the customers delighted when their plates arrive. Having a Thanksgiving feast for the community, family style, is priceless.” 6 pm, Sunday, Nov. 22. Central Oregon Locavore 1216 NE First St., Bend. $35 ticket in advance at Global Fusion or $40 at the door.

> I Like Pie Run/Walk This annual Bend fun run/walk, sponsored by FootZone, is a fun gathering of quasi-cardiovascular engagement—and of course, eating pie. The event also supports a great cause, with proceeds going to NeighborImpact. Distance options include 2k, 5k, 10k, and 10-mile routes. Last year, they were able to collect 5,500 pounds of food and are hoping to top that this year. 9 am, Thursday, Nov. 26. FootZone 845 NW Wall St., Bend. $5 and 5 pounds of canned goods donation.

Occidental Brewing brings tasty lagers to Bend By Kevin Gifford

en Engler, co-founder and brewer at Occidental Brewing in northeast Portland, got into the beer biz the way a lot of people do—after working a stint at Tacoma brewpub Engine House No. 9 and getting laid off from his job in Seattle, he didn’t have much else to try. “I was bouncing around, looking for something to do,” Engler told the Source during a tasting event held last week at White Water Taphouse. “My uncle homebrewed for a long time, and I somehow convinced him to do this, that this could be a viable lifestyle. He really knew how to brew German styles; that’s where his expertise was.” Thus, upon opening four years ago, Occidental became one of Oregon’s few lager-specific breweries. Their line, which first showed up in cans around Bend a couple years ago, includes all the standbys made in Germany over the past millennium—a light Kölsch, a copper-colored and somewhat fruity altbier, and a dark and malty dunkel. (More recently, they’ve released a beer or two in bottles, including their strong Lucubrator doppelbock.) “It wasn’t that we thought we’d be all German starting on day one,” Engler ex-

plained. “But when we started thinking about our business plan, it made sense as a way to stand out.” How does a brewery making such traditional styles stand out, though, in the land of barrel-aged this and wild-fermented that? As Engler puts it, their sense of tradition in beer is precisely what makes them stick out. “There’s resistance, of course,” he said. “People unfamiliar with us will come in the brewery and ask for an IPA, and obviously I have to disappoint them, but almost always we find a beer that they enjoy. A lot of people aren’t familiar with the styles at all, so a lot of education is involved.” Several Occidental beers remain on tap at White Water and around town. If you haven’t tried them yet, Engler recommends grabbing the Kölsch first, either on tap or in their trademark yellow cans. “It’s just a great everyday beer,” he said. “We like to say that we make beer-flavored beer; we don’t put a bunch of stuff in it. It’s a great intro to German beer if you aren’t familiar with it—often lower in alcohol, but very clean and some subtle hop character.”

Before It All Falls Down

Local group offers avalanche awareness and education By Brian Jennings 49

provides forecast and risk information for the Washington Cascades and around Mt. Hood in Oregon. There is no such information for Central Oregon even though there is for other regions such as the Wallowa Mountains and Mt. Shasta. A long-term goal of COAA is to help obtain the equipment and funding to hire an avalanche forecast expert specifically for the Central Oregon region in cooperation with the National Weather Service and agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service. In the meantime, the Central Oregon Avalanche Association has launched an aggressive campaign to educate a growing

number of winter recreational enthusiasts. At the heart of this effort is an avalanche class and video series that teaches the basics of safety awareness. Know before you go or KBYG delves into the gear needed, training in the use of that gear, and in understanding backcountry terrain and weather conditions. The course emphasizes staying out of harm’s way. Tapper adds that “99.9 percent of tragedies are unfortunately caused by the victim.” COAA has also organized what it calls a Pro Observer Network of four avalanche experts in Central Oregon who post their analysis online each week with a Friday summary for the

weekend. Central Oregon, Tapper says, is not known to be as prone to avalanches as other regions such as the Rocky Mountains. But, he continues, “we have windows of danger” that occur with fluctuating rain, snow, warming, and freezing conditions, which can all contribute to unstable snow conditions and an unexpected slide. In 2010, a major slide occurred on the flank of North Sisters, which Tapper estimates was a mile wide. He says as the number of winter recreationists continues to increase and, with more access to our public lands, it’s “absolutely critical” that backcountry snow enthusiasts arm themselves with the equipment and the knowledge to avoid catastrophe. The three gear items essential to everyone who ventures into backcountry snow areas are a beacon, a shovel, and a probe to locate and dig victims out. COAA is planning four educational seminars this winter, which include a 75-minute film highlighting the group’s motto— Know before you go. These sessions will be held at the Broken Top Bottle Shop, and details can be found on the organization’s website. Tapper says COAA is willing to make itself and its resources available to any group wanting to help educate people on winter conditions. The group is also planning a winter get-together at Mt. Bachelor on February 6 and 7, for what it calls VertFest, a weekend of fun vertical events combined with clinics on how to use safety equipment while understanding how to read the terrain and weather conditions to avoid disaster. Further information on the Central Oregon Avalanche Association, including video summaries and other useful information, can be found at coavalanche.org.

VOLUME 19 ISSUE 47 / November 19, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n January 15, 1998, Brian Sali, of Yakima, Washington, was with two friends snowmobiling on a high, treeless snowdrift on Paulina Peak in Newberry Crater. On a failed turn, he dismounted his machine to turn it when a football field-sized avalanche swept him about a hundred yards and buried him under five feet of snow. Sali was lucky. His friends were able to locate his machine, use a tree branch probe to locate him and dig him out. Still, doctors estimated he was seconds from death, unable to breath below the covering of snow. Some 16 years later, 28 year-old Wesley Bryan Amos of La Pine wasn’t so lucky. Reportedly an accomplished snowmobiler, Amos set out alone near Paulina Peak when he was caught in a 200-yardwide avalanche south of the Obsidian flow in an area locals call “Roller Coaster.” He was trapped and perished. Avalanche tragedies are more widespread than many think. The National Avalanche Center states that “avalanches kill more people in national forests than any other natural hazard.” When accidents like this occur, Jon Tapper of Bend takes it personally. Tapper helped found the Central Oregon Avalanche Association in 2009 and serves as the nonprofit organization’s vice president. Tapper is an experienced backcountry skier who says that as the sport gained popularity in Central Oregon there was “nothing here to promote avalanche safety and awareness.” Tapper and his group are working hard to raise that awareness and make backcountry winter recreation safer for all. One of the goals of the organization is to obtain reliable avalanche forecasts and other data for Central Oregon. The Northwest Avalanche Center in Seattle

Suffragette misses the point of history Cafe + Retail + Event Space

uffragette is not a story of the suffrage movement, either from its conception or during the days of women finally getting the vote. The film takes place in London in 1912, after the cause was already well established, but still years away from some of the main historical events. The script from Abi Morgan (Shame) isn’t as interested in the larger movement as it is in telling the story of a single suffragette and how the movement completely destroyed her life, one important thing at a time. Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a wife and mother who works in the laundry factory she was born in and her mother died in. She gets pulled into the movement by accident, stumbling across historical events as they unfold. As a matter of fact, all the characters in the film are fictional except for Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the suffragette movement, and Emily Davison, the first publicized martyr of the cause. The idea of putting a fictional character around historical events is a sound one

and several movies have pulled it off successfully, but the film almost treads Forrest Gump grounds with how many moments of import Maud is around for. Mulligan’s performance is excellent as she continues her tradition of playing everything with her eyes while letting the rest of her face be still. But the film can’t seem to decide whether to be Maud’s harrowing personal tale of loss and perseverance or a metaphor for terrorism in a time where the law was criminal. Noticeably absent are any women, nay people of color in the entire film. While white women were predominantly a part of the London movement in those days, there was, at the very least, an Indian princess named Sophia Duleep Singh who marched with Pankhurst in those days. Even in the laundry scenes, there is not a single person of color to be seen. This isn’t about checking diversity boxes, but actually being true to many records that state that London’s West End would have been full of Black Britons in those days. It is an odd and problematic omission from a film that otherwise does a stun-

PICK

ning job reproducing early-20th century London. Director Sarah Gavron (Brick Lane) does an excellent job with pacing and the washed-out color palate gives the film a subsuming grimy and layered texture, but structurally it feels anti-climactic and too slight to be memorable. While the film didn’t need to be a macro look at the suffragette movement, even as a character study this film doesn’t work since we are left without any closure on Maud’s story. And while the idea of Maud Watts being just another face in the movement, another soldier on the lines of equal rights, is a powerful one, the translation of that idea is flawed. There are many pieces of the film to respect and admire, but a movie just focused on white feminism isn’t really about equal rights at all.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

THE 33: The dramatic re-creation of the Chilean mining collapse where 33 miners were trapped underground for over two months. Starring Antonio Banderas and Lou Diamond Phillips, the movie doesn’t have very good advanced reviews, but they all tend to agree that it is a stirring tale of bravery and sacrifice. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX BRIDGE OF SPIES: Steven Spielberg’s first film since the masterful Lincoln sees Tom Hanks as an American lawyer recruited by the CIA during the cold war. While Spielberg’s 2000’s output has been stronger than he gets credit for, a re-teaming with Tom Hanks for a spy thriller seems like just the thing to get the critics back on his side. One of the best films of the year so far. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

BURNT: Bradley Cooper plays handsome chef, a Michelin star-winning restauranteur who loses everything and decides to start from scratch. With the surprising success of last year’s Chef, the time is ripe to take a darker and more serious look at the 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 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+ series of kid-oriented 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

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 HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAYPART 2: While it does feel like this series has been going forever, Mockingjay Part 2 should give the epic series a proper sendoff. As fans of the books know, this is part of the story where everything actually happens (unlike the completely event-free Part 1), so tissues should be held at the ready. This will also be Phillip Seymore Hoffman’s final screen appearance so, even if you don’t watch the movies, it will be worth seeing just to say goodbye. 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 it's a comedy. 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

LOVE THE COOPERS: An all-star Christmas comedy filled with the likes of John Goodman, Alan Arkin, Ed Helms, Diane Keaton, Marisa Tomei, and Olivia Wilde. A heartwarming look at four generations of a family under the same roof trying to connect, while also dealing with unexpected guests, alcohol and all kinds of mild mannered hijinks. Should be fairly innocuous fun for the whole family. Old Mill Stadium and IMAX THE MARTIAN: Matt Damon plays Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded on Mars alone, figuring out how to survive until help can (possibly) come for him. Prepare for this to be a smash hit the size of Gravity, but with better science, acting, and storyline. The book is a classic and the film almost reaches those same heights. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX

PAN: Cashing in on America’s love of an origin story, Pan tells the tale 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 CB both facing off against their own personal nemeses while living their typical hang-dog existences. Expect parents to be just as moved (if not more so) than their kids. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SPECTRE: Coming after the most financially successful and critically applauded Bond film in history, Spectre has some extremely large shoes to fill. UK reviews for the film were almost universally positive, while US critics have been less than kind so far. The US is right. Dull, dreary, and airless, this is easily the worst Bond film of The Craig era. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SUFFRAGETTE: This movie is catching some flack for whitewashing the entire suffrage movement, after all there were quite a few women of color involved. The film has a powerful cast and some excellent filmmakers involved, so hopefully the discrepancy isn’t as bad as early critics made it out to be. Check this week’s film section for a full review.

ADVICE GODDESS The Gospel Of Lukewarm

—Across The Country In situations like this, “absence” would be more useful if, instead of making the heart “grow fonder,” it made the heart grow little legs and trot off to a bar to chat up somebody new. You’ve told this guy what you need— no, not diamonds, furs, and surgical conjoinment; just a textiepoo at some point in the afternoon or maybe a call as he’s on his way someplace. He pretty much responded, “I hear ya, baby—and can’t wait to keep doing the exact same thing!” This led you to the obvious (and healthy) conclusion: Time to jump off the lost-cause train. But just then, up popped your friends to yank you back into the boxcar, advising you to put up with the unhappy and see where it goes—because you’ve already put in so much unhappy. Right. This sort of thinking is called the “sunk cost fallacy.” It’s a common cognitive bias—an error in reasoning—that leads us to keep investing in something simply because we’ve already invested so much. Behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman explains that even when we sense that investing further is futile, we’re prone to do it because of how powerfully loss affects us. His research finds that we may even feel twice as much pain from a loss as we feel happiness from a gain. So, rather than take the hit to our ego by admitting we’ve wasted our time, we waste more time doing whatever wasted our time in the first place. The rational (and misery-reducing) approach is recognizing that the time we’ve already put in is gone and that throwing more time in after it won’t change that.

Lip Bomb I love my girlfriend but don’t love how aggressive she is with her tongue when we kiss. I like softer kissing, but I think she thinks I won’t find her “passionate” enough that way. She has big, beautiful lips, and she’s intense, and I don’t need her tongue down my throat to feel connected. How do I navigate this difference in styles? —Uncomfortable It’s great to have your girlfriend’s kisses kick off a fantasy in your head, but not that you’re playing spin the bottle with a camel. Unfortunately, there’s really no such thing as “constructive criticism.” As I explain in Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck, “Criticizing people doesn’t make them change; it makes them want to clobber you.” That’s because we’re living in modern times with an antique psychological operating system. A verbal attack sets off pretty much the same biochemical alarm as a guy in a loincloth and face paint coming after you with a bloody spear. The good news is that turning criticism into opinion often makes all the difference in getting it heard. In this case, this simply involves telling your girlfriend how you like to be kissed—and then (fun!) showing her. It’s great to have a woman who takes your breath away—but not because she’s trying to give you a laryngectomy with her tongue.

VOLUME 19 ISSUE 47 / November 19, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with my dream man. When we aren’t together, I feel super-disconnected and needy. I’ve never been that sort of person, but he is a master of compartmentalization and just calls or texts back when I contact him and is happy to see me when he sees me. This just isn’t working for me. I need a guy who’s excited enough about me day to day that he takes a little initiative to talk to me. I’ve asked him repeatedly to even just text me first from time to time so I can feel like I matter to him. However, nothing changes. I now think I should end it. I do love him, though, and my friends are telling me that I’ve already invested nine months of my life in this relationship and I might as well see it through now. There is the possibility he’d move to my city, but that wouldn’t be for at least eight months, and it is only a possibility.

What makes sense is deciding what to do based on how likely it is to pay off in the future. In this case, sure, your boyfriend could have a near-death experience, re-evaluate his life, and start texting you heart emojis every 20 minutes—and Elton John could divorce his husband and start dating women. Of course, if you do ditch this guy, your replacement dream man may not pop up immediately in his wake. But at the very least, you should find that there are many men out there who can fail to meet your needs without your spending thousands of dollars a year on plane tickets.

For them, abstinence is crucial for victory. But scientific studies contradict this theory. There’s evidence that boinking increases testosterone levels for both men and women. Martial artist Ronda Rousey subscribes to this view. She says she has “as much sex as possible” before a match. Her approach must be working. She has won all but one of her professional fights, and Sports Illustrated calls her “the world’s most dominant athlete.” As you approach your equivalent of the “big game,” Scorpio, I suggest you consider Rousey’s strategy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you were embarking on a 100-mile hike, would you wear new boots that you purchased the day before your trip? Of course not. They wouldn’t be broken in. They’d be so stiff and unyielding that your feet would soon be in agony. Instead, you would anchor your trek with supple footwear that had already adjusted to the idiosyncrasies of your gait and anatomy. Apply a similar principle as you prepare to launch a different longterm exploit. Make yourself as comfortable as possible CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s how Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn begins: “Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.” The preface I’d write for your upcoming adventures would be less extreme, but might have a similar tone. That’s because I expect you to do a lot of meandering. At times your life may seem like a shaggy dog story with no punch line in sight. Your best strategy will be to cultivate an amused patience; to stay relaxed and unflappable as you navigate your way through the enigmas, and not demand easy answers or simple lessons. If you take that approach, intricate answers and many-faceted lessons will eventually arrive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Confederation of African Football prohibits the use of magic by professional soccer teams. Witch doctors are forbidden to be on the field during a match, and they are not supposed to spray elixirs on the goals or bury consecrated talismans beneath the turf. But most teams work around the ban. Magic is viewed as an essential ingredient in developing a winning tradition. Given the current astrological omens, I invite you to experiment with your own personal equivalent of this approach. Don’t scrimp on logical analysis, of course. Don’t stint on your preparation and discipline. But also be mischievously wise enough to call on the help of some crafty mojo.

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

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Slavery is illegal everywhere in the world. And yet there are more slaves now than at any other time in history: at least 29 million. A disproportionate percentage of them are women and children. After studying your astrological omens, I feel you are in a phase when you can bestow blessings on yourself by responding to this predicament. How? First, express gratitude for all the freedoms you have. Second, vow to take full advantage of those freedoms. Third, brainstorm about how to liberate any part of you that acts or thinks or feels like a slave. Fourth, lend your energy to an organization that helps free slaves.

com defines the English word “balter” as follows: “to dance without particular skill or grace, but with extreme joy.” It’s related to the Danish term “baltre,” which means “to romp, tumble, roll, cavort.” I nominate this activity to be one of your ruling metaphors in the coming weeks. You have a mandate to explore the frontiers of amusement and bliss, but you have no mandate to be polite and polished as you do it. To generate optimal levels of righteous fun, your experiments may have to be more than a bit rowdy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ve arrived at a crossroads. From here, you could travel in one of four directions, including back towards

where you came from. You shouldn’t stay here indefinitely, but on the other hand you’ll be wise to pause and linger for a while. Steep yourself in the mystery of the transition that looms. Pay special attention to the feelings that rise up as you visualize the experiences that may await you along each path. Are there any holy memories you can call on for guidance? Are you receptive to the tricky inspiration of the fertility spirits that are gathered here? Here’s your motto: Trust, but verify.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): English model and TV personality Katie Price has been on the planet for just 37 years, but has already written four autobiographies. You Only Live Once, for instance, covers the action-packed time between 2008 and 2010, when she got divorced and then remarried in a romantic Las Vegas ceremony. I propose that we choose this talkative, self-revealing Gemini to be your spirit animal and role model. In the coming weeks, you should go almost to extremes as you express the truth about who you have been, who you are, and who you will become. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A flyer on a telephone pole caught my eye. It showed a photo of a nine-year-old male cat named Bubby, whose face was contorted in pain. A message from Bubby’s owner revealed that her beloved pet desperately needed expensive dental work. She had launched a campaign at gofundme. com to raise the cash. Of course I broke into tears, as I often do when confronted so viscerally with the suffering of sentient creatures. I longed to donate to Bubby’s well-being. But I thought, “Shouldn’t I funnel my limited funds to a bigger cause, like the World Wildlife Fund?” Back home an hour later, I sent $25 to Bubby. After analyzing the astrological omens for my own sign, Cancer the Crab, I realized that now is a time to adhere to the principle “Think globally, act locally” in every way imaginable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How well do you treat yourself? What do you do to ensure that you receive a steady flow of the nurturing you need? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are now primed to expand and intensify your approach to self-care. If you’re alert to the possibilities, you will learn an array of new life-enhancing strategies. Here are two ideas to get you started: 1. Imagine at least three acts of practical love you can bestow on yourself. 2. Give yourself three gifts that will promote your healing and stimulate your pleasure. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): To activate your full potential in the coming weeks, you don’t need to scuba-dive into an underwater canyon or spelunk into the pitch blackness of a remote cave or head out on an archaeological dig to uncover the lost artifacts of an ancient civilization. But I recommend that you consider trying the metaphorical equivalent of those activities. Explore the recesses of your own psyche, as well as those of the people you love. Ponder the riddles of the past and rummage around for lost treasure and hidden truths. Penetrate to the core, the gist, the roots. The abyss is much friendlier than usual! You have a talent for delving deep into any mystery that will be important for your future. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Normally I charge $270-an-hour for the kind of advice I’m about to offer, but I’m giving it to you at no cost. For now, at least, I think you should refrain from relying on experts. Be skeptical of professional opinions and highly paid authorities. The useful information you need will come your way via chance encounters, playful explorations, and gossipy spies. Folk wisdom and street smarts will provide better guidance than elite consultants. Trust curious amateurs; avoid somber careerists.

omes sales in Deschutes County are up over the same time last year, according to the November 2015 TrendVision report published by the Central Oregon Association of Realtors. In October, the market saw the start of a seasonal drop-off, with 480 homes sold— down from 549 in September, but slightly above the 461 sales in October of 2014. But it’s not just the total number of houses sold that has increased, it’s also the ratio to homes listed. There were almost 200 more homes on the market last year in October. While the number of listings

decreased by about ten percent, the number of sales went up by four percent and the number of pending sales jumped by 22 percent. With the housing inventory tightening up from almost five months supply last fall to just over three months now, it’s a seller’s market. That means buyers should be prepared to pay more. The median home sale price has also slowly, but steadily, crept up over the past year from $258,000 in August 2014 to $300,000 in October 2015.

BEND’S PREMIERE DOWNTOWN DISPENSARY

tmsbend@gmail.com

Entrepreneurs, investors, and big businesses are starting to ask, is cannabis the next internet? The question, of course, has little to do with the internet. The essence of the question is this: Can we make a tremendous amount of money selling cannabis to people? And the answer seems to be a resounding “Yes.” Troy Dayton, the chief executive of ArcView, a cannabis business investment group, calls the cannabis industry the “fastest-growing new industry around.” ArcView estimates that the legal cannabis industry generated $2.4 billion in sales in 2014, which is a 74 percent increase from 2013. Dayton estimates that the industry will continue to grow by double-digit percentage points until at least 2020. Right now, the focus of big-money investors is California. The Golden State has the largest economy of any U.S. state, with a GDP equivalent of about $1.9 trillion, per capita income of nearly $39,000, and a 2014 growth rate of 2.8 percent. To say California is a big economy is truly an understatement. California has an economic output comparable to that of major international economies such as Canada, Australia, and India.When—it no longer seems like an if—California legalizes recreational cannabis, the legal market will more than double in size. “This is already the fastest-growing industry in America, and when these new markets come on line, the impact will be huge,” says Dayton. Big money, much of it from Silicon Valley, has already begun to flow into cannabis businesses. And that is at least partly why the cannabis gold rush actually is a little bit like the internet. Big-money cannabis investors aren’t just seeing dollar signs, they are also seeing a new type

of consumer experience. Just as the internet changed the way we create and consume media, many cannabis entrepreneurs and emerging cannabis businesses are seeking to change the way we buy and enjoy cannabis. The perception that cannabis is a niche product for a particular demographic—“stoners” (with all the attendant negative stereotypes)—is changing. “What we see is moms, dads, professionals, old people, everyone wanting access to cannabis,” says Mark Hadfield, founder of a techy California cannabis company called HelloMD. One of the best, and certainly the biggest, examples of this new cannabis business is Privateer Holdings. Privateer is based in Seattle and owns several cannabis businesses. Earlier this year, Privateer received a multimillion-dollar investment from Founder’s Fund, a venture capital firm co-founded by the prolific billionaire investor Peter Thiel. Privateer has now raised nearly $100 million in capital to fund its future plans. Brendan Kennedy, chief executive of Privateer, explains that many existing cannabis brands “tended to embrace the clichés of the industry.” But Privateer “quickly realized that this is no longer, and hasn’t been for years, a countercultural product.” And that realization gives Privateer its goal: To be the “Coca-Cola” of cannabis. Given its current wealth and holdings, and its access to capital, that goal seems to be within reach for Privateer. And with so much competition in the industry, from billionaires to Bend’s mom-and-pop businesses, it seems that Americans are in for a transformational change in the way we enjoy our cannabis.
