www.wilsonsofr edmond.net

It was Sunday afternoon at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Bend. Chairs were placed in a circle, ready for a meeting to plan for the Women’s March on Washington (and local marches in Portland and Bend) Jan. 21. Attending the meeting were activists of many ilks—committed and earnest, all. What was missing, however, were the young people. Were they absent from the meeting for the snow, just starting to fall? Was it where the meeting was organized, or the places it was advertised? One had to wonder. At the time of this writing, more than 133,000 people were listed on Facebook as “Going” to the Washington, D.C., march, with another 224,000 “Interested.” That’s a lot of people. Assumingly though, a lot of those people were the regular corps of Facebook Likers and armchair activists who “show their support” by clicking “Like” or “Attending,” even when they’re not actually planning to do anything more. When it comes to actually showing up, even to a meeting in the local area, the numbers tend to dwindle. With the advent of the Internet and the rollout of social media, people’s notions of what constitutes “activism” have shrunk to the size of a microchip. Once boycotts and meetings—and then widespread marches—were the vehicles by which things, if not getting done, were at least talked about getting done. Today, with the Internet, it’s the click of the Like or the Share that is perceived as “doing something.” The Internet has also given us fake news sites and affinity marketing— which give people the perception

that they are having access to a “world wide web” of information— but we know now narrows a person’s sphere of influence. Haven’t we had enough of “showing your support” by clicking Like or sharing a post? Enough already with the spreading and re-spreading of information online with no vetting or follow-up. It can serve a small purpose—but it is far from the only thing you do to support the causes you believe in. We have spent a long election cycle thinking globally or nationally. Now would be a good time, during the holidays, to begin again to act locally. While you’ve been pondering the state of the Union, others have been showing up to volunteer at the local homeless shelters, to deliver food to the elderly, or to clean up a forest trail. The local nonprofits need people to show up to the meetings and events that have been working for social justice, environmental and human dignity causes all this while. The personal, face-to-face work of community engagement is admittedly more challenging, and dirty, than clicking Like on a page, but it’s those boots on the ground that actually make the difference. If Standing Rock or the 1963 March on Washington can be examples of what can be done when people show up, show up today, won’t you? SW

OPINION Letters

IN RESPONSE TO, “INSIDE THE MALHEUR TRAIL,” (11/9)

IN RESPONSE TO “ EDITORIAL: MALHEUR VERDICT,” (11/2) The distaste for this verdict shows the level of sheep-ism in our country these days. People tend to forget that Federal buildings, State buildings, or any taxpayer funded property is THE PEOPLES, not private property. The “domestic terrorists” did what they thought was needed done in the light of them being treated tyrannically by our government. These folks had previous arrangements made for the grazing and we don’t need to get back in to the facts. Let’s not forget that a person lost his life for all of this, his life would’ve been saved if the law enforcement just let him get to the courthouse and didn’t intervene for no real reason. It scares me to think how people would react if/when their fellow citizens rise up against a future government that has gone beyond its boundaries, like what our fore fathers did from England. Apparently the highest court in the land felt they were justified, that’s enough for me. —Brent Howk via bendsource.com

HEY, HOW 'BOUT THOSE ROUNDABOUTS One of my favorite things about Bend is Roundabouts. They are not just about traffic control. Roundabouts teach us about civil behavior; to cooperate and pay attention. On our approach we anticipate and assess the situation as to others’ intentions. Communication in the form of signaling helps. We adjust our own behavior in accordance to

@sourceweekly

IN RESPONSE TO “WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE CITY?” (11/23) I’m surprised to see no question related to fixing roads. Specifically, where’s the money going to come from? —Michael Funke via bendsource.comI

N RESPONSE TO “UBER TIME? (11/2) Before moving to Bend last year, I lived in Portland and remember the “before” and “after” regarding Uber. When my girlfriend or I would call for a cab, the operator would often be curt and slightly rude—like you were bothering them by calling. I’ve found this in Bend as well, btw. Sometimes the cab wouldn’t even show (and if it did, it was usually filthy with a questionable odor). One evening we waited an hour and finally had to walk the two miles home late at night. You can get away with this when you don’t have any competition. It was so wonderful once we started using Uber: Half the price, a five-minute wait max, clean cars, pleasant drivers (that are trying to earn a favorable rating for their service). Because it was so much more affordable, we started using Uber every time we went out. No worrying about parking, or having one too many. Surely, with it being more affordable than a cab, drinking and driving has to have been reduced due to Uber as well (hopefully less money coming in from DUI’s isn’t a factor in a city’s decision). Please Bend! Let’s step it up! —Brandon Campbell via bendsource.com

5 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 49 / December 8, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Thank you for your invitation to respond to the insider perspective. The well written article about how the verdict was decided clarified for me the absolute insanity of our national legal system that permits individuals to shirk responsibility for engaging in behaviors that created millions of dollars in expenses, trashed public lands and desecrated a Native American sacred site. Silly me for not understanding that legal justice goes to the ones receiving the verdict they want. Really?! “And justice for all”, is a travesty. Also, silly me for not knowing that being armed to the teeth at an alleged peaceful protest is merely a quaint fashion statement. Perhaps at a future event if an armed protestor sets an intention to shoot weapons, and said bullets strike and kill people, is this merely the unfortunate effect of an innocent intent, similar to the chili intent-effect described in the article? —Pat Homeyer

their actions and our needs. The shuffling nature of roundabout traffic means we share the responsibility for sensible and courteous behavior. In doing so, traffic continues to move in an efficient way. There’s a flow that softens the jerky stop and go of other situations. Notice the difference between a 4-way stop and the roundabout. The stop requires less personal responsibility and attention. You are told what to do with strict rules – it is authoritarian. The roundabout only requires that you proceed with attention, caution and courtesy. If you are skillful in your driving everyone moves more smoothly and quickly. Because of roundabouts, I have found driving in Bend to be more efficient and enjoyable. Often, I am across town much more quickly than I expect. I admire other drivers when they maneuver a roundabout effectively and take pride when my own driving is skillful. I have noticed a diffusion of roundabout behavior to other aspects of life in Bend, with people voluntarily giving right-of –way to others in a courteous manner. Perhaps by driving in Bend and using roundabouts we are learning some basic lessons of how to get along. —Tom Jerome

IN RESPONSE TO “UBER TIME? (11/2) I drove cabs and private town cars in Bend for 3 years. I can in all honesty say that with the exception of two particular companies (there are several new companies in town I know nothing about) most of the vehicles are unsafe, possibly not properly insured, smelly, unsanitary, patched together junk. The fact that they (cab owners) are using improper maintenance or vehicle condition as an argument is ironic to say the least. I do agree Uber should be required to carry the same amount of insurance as any other cab company does. Especially since most insurance companies void any coverage if you are using your vehicle for hire. It could leave a gap in coverage if there is an accident involving serious injuries. I also believe every cab should be required to be physically inspected for safety and the Vin number verified as insured properly. I personally witnessed paper swapping and plate swapping between cabs because they weren’t all purposely insured. It’s unsettling to not know if you’re covered while driving passengers. As far as the amateur argument, every single cab driver was an amateur when they started and let me also say that as someone who drove in this town I’d rather drive for Uber then have to work with most of the “professionals” here. I actually contacted Uber 3 years ago and tried to get them to come here but they told me our market wasn’t big enough for them. Rant over. —Andrew Newcomb via bendsource.com

Problems on the Plaza 7

By Brian Jennings

n 2010, the historic Rademacher House—home to Bend’s first mayor—was the site of Arts Central’s educational programming. That year, the organization opted to close down classes in the space, after “a vile act was committed in full view on the porch.” Inside, a group of young children were gathered for an arts class when the event went down. These days, it’s more of the same near Mirror Pond Plaza, while walking along the NW Brooks Street Promenade in downtown Bend, two young men bolt through the breezeway connecting Wall Street to the Plaza, letting F-bombs fly. Other walkers give way, clearly wanting to avoid the two men. It’s not an infrequent occurrence, and it’s one of the biggest concerns heard by merchants and shoppers. According to Bend Police, drug dealers routinely prey upon the homeless population in the plaza. A recent police undercover action was successful in ridding the area of a known drug dealer. Drug dealing, sex acts, urination, defecation and panhandling happen regularly in the area—considered to be some of Bend’s most desirable waterfront real estate. Currently,

fire to an already lively conversation about criminal activity and other unsavory behavior in the plaza. The problem is at its worst during the warm summer months which also happen to be the most important tourist months, with 3 million people descending on Bend and pumping nearly half a billion dollars into the local economy. “In the summer is when I get to clean up all the syringes,” Marchi told the Source Weekly. Meanwhile, Sgt. Dan Ritchie of Bend Police says the needles pose a significant hazard. “The health risks are off the charts,” he says. While optimistic about short-term solutions underway, many feel a longerterm vision for the economic health of downtown Bend is sorely needed—and the only ultimate answer to the behavior of loitering transients in the area. Cate O’Hagan, who operated the now-defunct Mirror Pond Gallery housed in the Rademacher house, says the area encourages unsavory behavior. “The parking lots are a drug drop-off spot on each side of the building. It’s well designed for people to not behave well.” She says heroin, meth and other drugs are commonplace. O’Hagan

“In the summer is when I get to clean up all the —DAVID MARCHI, OWNER OF CROW'S FEET COMMONS syringes.” most of that high-value real estate is comprised of two city-owned parking lots providing about 200 spaces for visitors. Drugs, Sex and Anything Goes Business owners, including David Marchi, have complained loudly to the city and to Bend Police, who worry about the situation once again getting out of hand, as it did earlier this year. Marchi, who owns the Crow’s Feet Commons bike & ski shop on the breezeway corner, and also the coffee shop and taproom in the Rademacher House adjacent to the plaza, wrote a Facebook post last summer, which set

says during her time in the space, she also helped break up sex trafficking activities. O’Hagan closed Art Central’s Mirror Pond Gallery in 2008 and expanded its education programming in the same space. Educational programs were closed in 2010 after that incident on the porch. According to the former Executive Director of the Downtown Bend Business Association, Chuck Arnold, transients are the majority of the disrupting population. Arnold is now the Director of Economic and Urban Development for the city of Redmond. “I really see the larger population as transients; people who are there in

their 20s. They’re counter culture and reject societal norms. They want to be disruptive and are by choice transients.” Arnold says the transient group is a different group from those who are homeless or kids who are out to “just be rascally.” Arnold says transients share a text network and exchange information on places where they are more welcomed and can often get free meals. O’Hagan agrees. “People from New York or other places know we are a soft touch here. We’ve become a known destination for people to hang out,” she says. O’Hagan continued, “Social services have been down here in the past to serve lunches, but it ended up attracting more of that very type of activity that was not beneficial to business and attracting tourists and shoppers.” The nearby Family Kitchen, which provides free meals, has sometimes received criticism. But Family Kitchen’s Donna Burklo says she sees no correlation between offering needed meals and the number of transients in the plaza. “The vast majority of people who come have a meal with us move on. People hang out down at the plaza because it’s a cool place to hang out,” she says. Burklo says in talking with merchants in the area, she feels gratified for the support for Family Kitchen, located on Idaho Street just south of downtown. The agency has provided free meals at the same location for the past 30 years. Meanwhile, Arnold says the situation during his tenure as head of the Downtown Bend Business Association was frustrating. “We spent tens of thousands of dollars to tell people to come visit this beautiful downtown, and when you saw this negative behavior, it really punches you in the stomach.” Arnold recalled offering a tour to a couple from Texas who wanted to move their business and its 28 employees to Bend. When they were on the riverfront, Arnold says, “Just then a group of young transients came by

yelling F-bombs...threatening and aggressive with their language.” The couple told Arnold they had to go, and he never saw them again. Improvements Underway Numerous efforts have been made to improve the situation. Merchants like Marchi are appreciative of beefed-up police patrols and other modifications. Bend Police are seeking permanent funding for more consistent downtown patrols, and re-design plans of the south parking lot are underway to make it safer. One area that’s already received lots of sprucing up is the breezeway connecting Wall Street to the Plaza, which was once dark and gloomy. Transients would often camp out and sleep inside the covered walkway, but iron bars placed in those areas now prevent that. Lighting has been upgraded and security cameras mounted, and the area is routinely cleaned. Speakers installed to carry music unappealing to younger people are another deterrent under consideration. “The breezeway is much better than it has been,” says Rod Porsche, executive director of the Downtown Bend Business Association, who was along for the walk around the plaza. “It’s really a functional pass-through now.” As one leaves the breezeway and enters the Plaza area, the south parking lot presents other problems. According to Porsche, two large garbage containment areas—enclosed by concrete block— provide privacy for drug deals and other lewd behavior. “You could do a lot of things in this garbage enclosure, the way it’s designed, that are undesirable or illegal. It can be really, really bad in here.” Showing us the enclosure containing several large garbage containers with graffiti on the walls, Porsche said, “If you maneuver these wheeled garbage containers you can provide privacy for all kinds of things you don’t want to know about.” The area also poses a potential safety problem continued on page 8...

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 49 / December 8, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Bend’s downtown is a gathering place for the city—but business owners, officials and loitering youth all differ on how the area should be used

Problems on the Plaza continued

for late-night workers who dispose of garbage or walk to their vehicles once off duty. Porsche and others say that one of the critical things missing in downtown Bend is public restrooms. Recently his office was moved to the corner of the downtown parking garage at 61 NW Oregon Avenue, so Porsche and his staff could oversee the re-opening of two restrooms in the parking garage. He says the restrooms have helped relieve a major problem, especially during the tourism season. The restrooms close during the winter and will re-open next spring. Porsche says downtown Bend needs more public toilet facilities that would help relieve stress in areas like Mirror Pond Plaza. The two parking lots in the plaza area also contain a median grass strip that provides a gathering place that many merchants and Porsche would like to see eliminated. Exclusion Zone enforcement prevents disruptive individuals from returning within 90 days. Many public benches providing seating have been removed in the hope of discouraging loitering and overnight sleeping. Up to 50 power outlets where transients could recharge their phones have been closed. But while these actions discourage transient behavior, they also make the area less inviting for people who use the area for recreation. Critics say these are only short-term solutions and that longerterm vision is needed for the plaza area to reach its potential as a centerpiece for downtown.

Long Term Solutions To solve the problem, O’Hagan recommends a complete transformation of the area. “The best thing to do is to re-develop it, which means bringing it back to more green space and retail. It’s just going to continue to attract the same people unless new design and thinking is brought into this area by people who know how to deal with these kinds of issues. They have not been able to get a grip on it.” Arnold agrees. “This area is the back of downtown and it shouldn’t

be. We’re parking 200 cars on our most incredible real estate in the City of Bend overlooking the river with a mountain view 14 miles away and our absolutely incredible park… and we’re parking cars next to it. It doesn’t seem like the highest and best use.” Marchi says he would like to see a longer-range plan for the area, such as the addition of permanent food carts— which would require a change in city regulations. But before the city considers longrange plans that might include hotels, more retail and restaurants, the city’s Director of Economic Development, Carolyn Eagan, says that would require a new parking strategy. The city is currently conducting a parking study, which Eagan feels is the first step in the evolution of the space. “Where would we replace those 200 parking stalls at the two parking lots by the plaza?” she asks. She also notes that building height restrictions might have to be lifted to allow for concentrated development. Proposals to increase the height of buildings along the waterfront have been opposed by the Bend City Council in the past. In the Source Weekly’s Nov. 24 “What’s Next for the City?” story, some incoming council members indicated a willingness to look at changes to the current parking area. But as for the prospect of hotel, retail and restaurant development, Eagan hesitates. “I would reflect the community’s vision for that so I’m really uncomfortable making a statement about what should happen on those parking lots right now.” Sgt. Ritchie is optimistic that the city is heading in a good direction in responding to the transient problem at the plaza, but he says, “It’s too early to wave the flag of success.” He hopes for an overall solution to the problem and worries about forcing the transiency from one location to another with preventative measures underway. “I find myself using downtown or the City of Bend as a chessboard – putting someone in check and never coming up with a checkmate move.” SW

The Wenonah Spirit II ($2,799) is 17 feet in length and comfortably fits two parents, a couple of kids and even the family dog. It’s ultra-light, weighing

only 42 pounds, and made with Kevlar, so it’s incredibly durable. Two of this canoe’s best features are its easy maneuverability and extreme stability. Old Town Canoe Penobscot 164 ($1,199) is 16.5 feet long with plenty of room for the whole family. While it’s slightly heavier than the Wenonah, at 75 pounds, it’s still easy to navigate and extremely durable.

but they come with all necessary accessories included. Two inflatable boards to consider are the SOL Newport Air ($949) and the Beach Bum Air ($699). Both boards are perfect for learning fundamentals on and built to last for years of water exploration. Best of all, at the end of the day you simply roll them up and pack them into the back of your vehicle—no rack required.

Outside Gifts for the Gearhead

BY NICOLE VULCAN

The Qliplet When Seattle-area resident Mina Yoo was climbing Mt. Rainier, she found there was nowhere to lay down her backpack with the muddy Cascade soil. So what did she do? She invented a workaround and launched a successful Indiegogo campaign in 2015. The Qliplet is part carabiner, part 360-degree hook that lets you hang your backpack on a crag on an uninviting mountain, or your lantern to a tree back at camp. Problem solved. Qliplet by Lulabop Buy at REI, Big 5 or at lulabop.com $19.95

MonkeyLectric Monkey Lights Let’s face it, cyclists: Our fellow Central Oregonians haven’t quite caught onto the fact that we ride our bikes (or even commute, dammit!) when it’s dark or snowing or otherwise miserable out. So let’s light it up, shall we? While you have lots of illuminating options, the M232 Monkey Light features full-color LEDs and a choice of 48 themes for your wheels. They’re also waterproof… which is definitely a plus for the Central Oregon gearhead. Monkey Light M232 Buy at REI.com or westernbikeworks.com $59.90

Whether it’s for you or for the outdoors-obsessed person in your life, here are some ideas for outside gifts for the gearhead.

Mt. Thielsen Standard Manual vehicle tent Traveling to bear country, or perhaps to a place with wet, soggy, inhospitable ground? (Willamette Valley, anyone?) Then take a cue from the turtles and pack your home on your back—or your vehicle’s back, that is. Cascadia Vehicle Tents, made by a family-owned company in Bend, let you mount a mobile home right to your existing vehicle, so that all you have to do is pack the food and the gear and go. The Mt. Thielsen Standard Manual model sleeps one to two people, so there’s even room for your gearhead sweetheart. Available at Cascadia Vehicle Tents, 42 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend cascadiatents.com $895 $895

GoPro Karma Grip Lots of people head out to the mountain with their GoPro mounted somewhere on their person—but unfortunately, most of that footage turns out shaky or unusable. To get good footage that you can actually brag about and share with your gearhead buddies, you need a little help. That’s where the Karma Grip comes in, giving you the counterweight that lets you shoot smooth video, without the shaky stuff. On the market as of Dec. 5, this is your go-to for GoPro gifts this year. GoPro Karma Grip Available at gopro.com and local retailers. $299.99

NOLA’s Juju SOUND Channeling Portland’s MarchFourth mixes funky big band vibes with a carnival spectacle By Chris Young released on Sep. 30. “The decision was either to fly the producer and engineer to Portland, or take the band to New Orleans,” Averill says. M4 loaded up its 20-person bus (which can pack 12 musicians, three performers and five crew in a custom converted space that sleeps 22 and has a kitchen and bathroom, enabling the band to “pretty much live and sleep on our bus when we’re on the road,” Averill describes), drove to Louisiana, “and set up shop in New Orleans for 10 days,” he says. That producer and engineer were, respectively, Ben Ellman (of Galactic) and Mikael “Count” Eldridge (known for his work with DJ Shadow, Tycho, Trombone Shorty and Galactic), and from day one, “it just felt like home,” Averill says. For starters, M4 alto saxophonist Michelle Christiansen used to live two houses down from the studio so, “We parked the bus in

“Each night after recording, we’d either walk down to the bars on Magazine, or drive over to Frenchman and absorb the amazing local live music that happens every night of the week.” From these origins, the band has “taken the New Orleans ‘party in the street’ vibe and elevated it to the big stage,” Averill says—which is why 15 M4 members traveled straight to the source in an attempt to bottle NOLA’s energy on their fourth studio album, "Magic Number," independently

ropelled by an eccentricity that is uniquely Portland, MarchFourth has always been fueled by the magic of New Orleans. The city “has been in our DNA since the band’s inception,” yet “in a spiritual sense more than musical sense,” explains founding member and band leader John Averill. With more than a dozen members—musical or otherwise—on stage at any given point, an “M4” show is a literal circus—part carnival performance and burlesque show mashed with an untamed marching band where stilt walkers, acrobats and dancers accompany the brassy horn section, driving percussionists, rocking guitars and chant-along choruses. While the act was formed on March 4, 2003, for a Fat Tuesday party, its repertoire combines funky Afrobeat, Eastern European gypsy punk and Brazilian samba to its classic brass band pep.

From New Orleans second line roots to a modern-day, funky big band, MarchFourth is set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of local concert promoter Parallel 44 Presents on Dec. 14 at The Domino Room.

week.” And although the songs were already arranged, being in New Orleans enabled the band to “channel the juju of the place, which perhaps led to us performing well in the studio.” The 10 studio days also saw magical moments when special guests stopped through, like drummer Stanton Moore of Galactic, sousaphone player Matt Perrine of Bonerama, or Ellman himself providing a shredding harmonica solo on “Inventing The Wheel,” a track which also features a solo from Trombone Shorty. In typical M4 form, "Magic Number" may be full of myriad styles but is the group's most evolved, cohesive record yet. From its NOLA second

line, marching band roots, MarchFourth has grown into a modern-day funky big band, and heading down south “was the best decision we could have made because the band was really focused,” Averill reflects. Hear that focus shine on the new record and explode forth on the stage.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / December 8, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Royal Jelly Jive the Old Soul Orchestra are here to make you shake at the Volcanic Theatre Pub, 12/9.

t first glance, Marty O’Reilly and Royal Jelly Jive don’t have much in common. O’Reilly and his band the Old Soul Orchestra are introspective with their music constantly building in intensity and emotion. Their records sound like the scores to beautiful noir masterpieces that have never been made. Royal Jelly Jive, meanwhile, sounds like a gypsy dance party around a bonfire in the middle of a deep, dark wood. But instead of clashing, the two bands mesh together like an eclectic tapestry on constantly dynamic sounds. That eclectic sound is something that Royal Jelly Jive has never shied away from.“Something my band has talked about a lot is how far can you go in having a variety of different songs and linking them together,” says lead singer Lauren Bjelde. “We don’t wanna hold back and so if you feel like the groove is good and the message is good and the time is right to release it to people in a collection of everything else, then you don’t want to be too afraid of trying to make everything sound the same.” O’Reilly takes his music very seriously, as his 2014 record, “Pray

For Rain,” proves. The album is at turns dark and haunting while never losing sight of powerful harmonies and subtle power. “When we go into a certain headspace with our music,” says O’Reilly, "the audience really goes there with you. I hope people take away from our music something that strikes a chord deep in their heart. Something that only a really powerful song does." Listening to the two bands separately is a joy, but combined, their sounds should almost be overwhelming. “I’m excited that we’re finally pairing up and touring together,” says Bjelde. “I think we’re perfectly complimentary. Marty O’Reilly’s Old Soul Orchestra are so powerful, deep and soulful, but groovy with a heartbeat. Royal Jelly has sort of a wetness that comes from the reeds of the accordions, clarinet and sax. Together, that acoustic vibe and that wet flavor on top of it just makes some real colorful magic.” SW Marty O’Reilly & Royal Jelly Jive

Wonderful Spirits

Local Christmas shows range from goofy to heartwarming By Jared Rasic

“Christmas Spirits” is an anthology show, mixing bawdy skits, gleefully profane songs and a vaudevillian sense of goofiness. Spirits” or CTC’s version of “It’s A Wonderful Life” as a radio play. Both pieces celebrate the holiday and humanity in general, but they come at the subject so differently that there’s really no overlap. “Christmas Spirits” is an anthology

show, mixing bawdy skits, gleefully profane songs and a vaudevillian sense of goofiness. Taking place in Victorian England and being mounted upstairs at The Summit, “Christmas Spirits” celebrates having a delightfully drunken Christmas. “I have vaudeville in my bloodline,” says writer/director/producer/actress JoEllen Ussery. “My great grandfather on my maternal side was a vaudevillian on the East Coast and my grandfather on my paternal side owned a traveling medicine show in Missouri in the '30s. I learned the concept of taking old songs (public domain) and stringing them together to move a show forward. I’m also extremely fond of the Victorian era.” The staging of “It’s a Wonderful Life” is wonderful, as it’s set in a warm and cozy radio station in the 1940s with a group of seven actors and a piano player portraying every character in the Christmas classic. Hearing the very familiar story as a form of storytelling (as opposed to the actors running around and reenacting all of the action) allows for more focus to be put on the words and ideas. It’s beautifully done and director Juliah Rae finds dozens of beautiful little moments in a show most of the country is very familiar with. Both shows bring something new and different to the (Christmas) table and will appeal to widely different audiences. Whether you’re looking for some drunken giggles or heartwarming familiarity, the Central Oregon stage has plenty of options. SW

veryone is looking for something different in their Christmas and the holiday season in general. For some, it’s a way to get some time off of school or work, and for others it’s a time to reflect on what they’re grateful for while surrounded by friends and family. The holidays can also be a rough time for people who have negative connotations connected to Christmas and it can bring out Seasonal Affective Disorder in the happiest of us. Having a night of holiday-themed theater can either reinforce the warm and fuzzies some of us get from this season or to take our minds off of Christmas for a few hours. The Central Oregon theater scene has quite a few choices when it comes to supporting the arts over the holidays, but there’s nothing more disparate than Lurking Squirrel’s production of “Christmas

BOOK TALK: SEXY TIMES WITH FOUR ROMANCE NOVELISTS western romance author Paty Jager have all been novelists for quite some time. Here’s a brief excerpt of some of the questions we asked the authors, ahead of their book signings in Bend. Check Bendsource.com for the uncut interviews.

Left, author Tawna Fenske adds some comedy to her romance. Right, Marie Harte’s novels have been called “blazing hot.”

So much romance, so little time… Contemporary romance author Kate Curran, USA Today bestselling romantic comedy author Tawna Fenske, New York Times bestselling romance author Marie Harte and mystery and

Source Weekly: Do you think novels in particular are more important as an escape or as something to challenge and generate discussion? Kate Curran: I think it just depends on the mood of the reader. We all need a little escape sometimes and when I do I go to Janet Evanovich. But if I want something more challenging my go-to read would be John Grisham’s "The Bleachers" or an old favorite "The Trouble With Being a Mama," by Eva Rutland. SW: Tell me about what got you into writing mysteries in particular? Paty Jager: As a teen and young mother

I read every mystery I could get my hands on. When someone I called a friend stabbed my family in the back, I wrote two mysteries, killing that person off in both books. It was very cathartic. Back then it was hard to get into a mystery writing group. I veered into writing romance and have two historical western romance series as well as my Shandra Higheagle mystery series. SW: Tell me about what got you into writing romantic comedies in particular? Tawna Fenske: I’ve always loved romance novels, but the comedy element stems from the fact that I’m a magnet for absurdity. Like the time I waxed off my own eyebrow, then accidentally chose the green eyeliner to draw it back on. Or the time I dropped gristle in someone’s purse at a fancy luncheon and got caught trying to fish it out. These things happen to me on a daily basis, so it makes sense for me to write comedy instead of tragic literary fiction.

By Jared Rasic SW: Tell me about what got you into writing romance in particular? Marie Harte: I’m a big reader and I’ve always been fascinated by writing. I’m drawn to the romantic elements in books, especially. All the great stories have a love story central to the plot, I think. Family-centered romances are my wheelhouse, as I like playing with the dynamics of family and falling in love, and watching how family impacts how characters deal with their significant others. Heat, heart and humor—the tools of my trade. SW

Tips for pulling off the re-gifting thing By Annette Benedetti

The following tips will help you pull of the re-gifting thing and come out looking considerate and funny.

“Hopelessness is not a strategy for making a difference” The recent political season has left many disheartened and in need of encouragement. Meanwhile, others are ready for action but unsure what steps to take next. Cue the Central Oregon Social Justice Center, a great resource for taking steps toward a better future and protecting civil liberties. Its weekly newsletter offers some informative meetings and events—some that are highlighted below. Recent events have included “Healing, Post-Election” and “Organizing 101: Strategy in Activism,” but for a full list of future events, visit cosjc.org.

Friday 9 • Be genuine: Only re-gift an item you believe the receiver wants and will use.

• Be thoughtful: Only re-gift an item to someone outside the circle of people you received it from. The receiver should never meet the original giver.

• Create a gift set: So you received two George Foreman Grills. Pair one with a cookbook and upgrade it to a thoughtful gift set perfect for that graduate who is heading off to college.

• Keep handmade items: Personalized or handmade items should never be given to someone they weren’t intended for.

• Cover your tracks: Remove old scraps of wrapping paper and tape as well as any personalized messages from the original giver and then

re-wrap the item nicely before giving it away. • Trash or treasure?: Know the difference between a present worth giving and a gift for the garbage. No one deserves stale fruitcake. • If you get caught: Own up to your re-gifting antics if you get called out. Make a joke out of it, apologize, do whatever you need to... but don’t lie. SW

t’s Christmas morning. Your entire extended family—including your parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, and even cousins whose names you can’t remember— have traveled great distances to come together and celebrate. You have prepared yourself in advance by perfecting the appearance of the natural looking smile and rehearsing the ever-enthusiastic “Thank you!” The room is silent and thick with anticipation as you begin to rip open the first gift of many from your well-intentioned relatives who know next to nothing about you. Bright knitted sweaters, no-name perfume sets and packs of underwear designed for a child but sized for an adult: we’ve all received these unwanted presents that get packed away as soon as the giver is gone and then eyed the next year when looking for a gift for that white elephant party. Re-gifting is undoubtedly convenient, but when is it appropriate and when does it make you look rude?

What’s your Blizzard Bar?

The snow is starting to fly. Before the next blizzard, identify your nearest watering hole.

By the Source Staff

Nicole Vulcan, Editor The Great Arctic Blast of 2009 in Portland taught me one thing: When total boredom forces you to walk to a bar in knee-deep snow, every extra step counts. So if I had to count steps, my actual Blizzard Bar would be Rockin’ Dave’s Bistro & Backstage Lounge, where a menu of delightful, artful cocktails (including a Chipotle Bacon Bloody) welcome me in from the cold. Still, a few steps more in another direction and I find myself at the Platypus Pub, located in a former church in the basement of The Brew Shop. In my mind, every Blizzard Bar should be in a basement, where during the dark snowy days, we can descend into more darkness and forget that the sad, frozen, un-drivable world exists. Plus, the bartenders at this Blizzard Bar are great conversationalists—and that’s just what I need when I’m venturing out to escape my family and drown my Seasonal-Affective-Disorder-sorrows in whiskey.

h, winter…that time of year when we’re often stuck inside waaayy more than we’d like. Sure, those studded tires are going to get you around when the snow and ice comes around, but once in a while the weather gets so bad that there’s nothing else to do besides hole up at home. But wait! There’s always the Blizzard Bar! In case you haven’t figured it out yet, your Blizzard Bar is the bar closest to your home, which you can walk to even when the snow is XX feet high. In the interest of escaping cabin fever, we’re publishing this list of the Source staff ’s Blizzard Bars. (Note: Call ahead to make sure your Blizzard Bar is open before you walk there...)

Brian Jennings, Staff Reporter Over the years I have enjoyed many Blizzard Bars in Bend, but when the snow flies the problem is, which one to choose? For me it’s often the bar in the back of the Red Dragon Restaurant on S Hwy 97, owned by Casey Chan, a Hong Kong native, and his wife Lee, who greet us with ready smiles. Everyone knows everyone else at the oblong bar—a Chinese version of Cheers! More often than not, Casey is perched on a chair facing one of three TV screens watching a Chinese channel, which is entertaining in itself. From the menu, we usually fall back on our favorite dish: Singapore Chow Mein coupled with a generous martini poured by Chrissy, sufficiently keeping the blizzard at bay.

Kevin Gifford, Beer Reviewer I live just outside of downtown Bend, and it would be a complete lie to say I don’t appreciate being able to walk home from all the amazing bars and breweries located right there. If it’s snowing, though, I’m not sure anything beats Crow’s Feet Commons—a nice fire, a cozy atmosphere, lots of pFriem beer and the sheer desire to stay open no matter how many inches are out there. Have a pair of cross-country skis handy? Strap ‘em on, ski on over, and you, too, can be a Genuine Central Oregon Person. (Runner-up: The Lot, with its heated tables and wealth of food/beer options.)

Angela Moore, Office Manager/BendTicket Maven While I know for a fact that many have claimed to see God himself while drinking away their early afternoons at the West Side Tavern, I have not. What I have seen, however, is a double-edged sword of welcomed sadness and unadulterated drunken days that turn into equally drunken nights. I don’t know a single person who has ever eaten here, which would explain their exotic menu posted online of Spicy Ahi Tuna Tartare and a Jar of Chicken Liver Mousse served with a green apple chutney and grilled sourdough…what? WHAT? Is this a blizzard or has Hell actually frozen over? West Side Tavern 930 NW Galveston Ave., Bend 541-382-4810

Jared Rasic, Arts & Culture Editor I live two blocks from downtown so technically my Blizzard Bar could be any number of liquor-filled establishments, but the choice is easy. The D&D is the only bar for me in rain or shine or zombie apocalypse. It’s my safe place, my Cheers, my Winchester. Depending on the time or day of the week, the D can either be a hipster haven or a quiet place for a stiff drink where you can be alone with your demons. Bonus Points: Bartender Buck Bales is basically Wolverine. Food Coma: Eat the Baja Burger with the Sweet Potato Fries and you’ll forget all about the coming apocalypse.

Hayley Jo Murphy, Assistant Editor While the Box Factory offers a whole host of excellent beer options, when a blizzard hits, only whiskey can thaw out my chilly feet, and the closest full bar is The Brown Owl. What began as a much loved food cart has evolved into a hybrid restaurant/bar that still serves food from its food cart parked out front. If eating, I would most likely enjoy the spinach and bacon salad that one coworker’s husband called, “The best salad I’ve every had.” To warm my bones, the Wise Sage is a must. With whiskey, triple sec, OJ, ginger beer and pressed sage, it’s an absolute delight! The Brown Owl 550 SW Industrial Way Suite 120, Bend 541-797-6581

Aaron Switzer, Publisher My Blizzard Bar is the Tumalo Feed Company. I’ll admit, I live a long trek from any alcohol when the roads are shut down, but I have managed to get a 4-wheeler to Bailey Road and slide downhill. The Feed Co. is the perfect place for slamming back one of their specialty drinks, always served in a mason jar. There are no windows in the bar so regardless of what it is doing outside, it is always dark, the cushions in the booths are soft and you know once you get your drink you’re going to be there for a while. And also, Rocky Mountain Oysters are always available. Tumalo Feed Company 64619 Hwy 20, Bend 541-382-2202

Spotted Cow

New Glarus: Only available in America’s Dairyland

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / December 8, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Kevin Gifford

A New Glarus beer setup at a typical convenience store in Madison, Wis., depicting the ubiquitous and dominance of this brand in the state.

Next up in beer reviewer Kevin Gifford’s beer trek across the nation: Wisconsin. It feels, in modern-day Bend (and Portland for that matter), that Boneyard’s RPM IPA is available at every establishment that has a liquor license. It’s ubiquitous. And across the entire state of Wisconsin—from the college bars of Madison to the rural supper clubs up north—it’s the same deal with Spotted Cow from New Glarus Brewing. Founded about half an hour outside Madison in 1993, New Glarus was built by Dan Carey, who used to work for the Anheuser-Busch plant in Fort Collins, Colo., and his wife Deb, who still draws all the brewery’s homespun label art. Spotted Cow, which debuted in ‘97, is a naturally-cloudy farmhouse ale with a refreshing, slightly fruity flavor. Despite their size (they made over 165,000 barrels in 2014), New Glarus focuses on keeping things local. Nearly all their beer uses grain grown and malted in Wisconsin; the Scream IIPA features a selection of hops grown in the state, and the delightfully tart Wisconsin Belgian Red uses cherries grown in Door County to the north. “From my point of view,” Deb Carey told the MinnPost newspaper, “when you get off a plane you don’t want to see one chain store after another and everything looking just like it does at home. Like everything else, I think food should have a regionality to it.” Indeed, the effect of the Cow on the Wisconsin region’s beer scene

cannot be understated. In a land where German-influenced lagers are in every single restaurant, bar, liquor store, and gas station in “America’s Dairyland,” as the license plates put it, Spotted Cow has become the state’s best-selling beer on draft. It’s easily outclassing the macros in sales, and it’s loved both by beer nerds and Badger football tailgaters alike. Spotted Cow is so identified with Wisconsin in no small part because New Glarus distributes only in their home state. This was due to necessity at first—they used to sell in Chicago, but had to pull out to meet demand back home—but is now part of their identity, with every case of Cow 12-pack cans lovingly stamped with “Only in Wisconsin.” “We could be worldwide, if that was the goal,” Deb commented. “It’s absolutely in my power and it wouldn’t take very long. But there’s no reason—we’re committed to brewing world-class beer and taking care of the people who work for us.” SW

Gods and Monsters

Disney strikes again with the lovely "Moana" By Jared Rasic

I can’t say enough about the songs in “Moana.” Jemaine Clement’s “Shiny” is reminiscent of Bowie at his best, while Cravalho’s “How Far I’ll Go” is an instant Disney classic. Some time in the ancient past, the goddess Te Fiti creates all life on Earth and then becomes an island. The demigod Maui steals a small stone that

that we’re desperate for the story to have a happy ending. Another refreshing aspect is Moana herself. Newcomer Auli’i Cravalho

is also Te Fiti’s heart, but when a lava demon attacks him, Maui loses the stone as well as his powers. A thousand years later, we meet Moana, the daughter of the chief of a Polynesian tribe. She is desperate to explore past their reef, but their tribe hasn’t left that boundary in generations. When their island’s vegetation begins to die and their fish start disappearing, Moana must go on a quest to find Maui and replace the stone in the heart of Te Fiti or the darkness will continue to consume their home. This is a very typical hero’s quest adventure right out of the pages of Joseph Campbell, but the combination of gorgeous animation, fun and vibrant characters and a refreshingly feminist storyline makes everything feel new. Putting the stone back into the heart of an ancient island goddess sounds like a typical McGuffin, but we care so much about Moana, Maui and their brain-damaged chicken companion

Moana looks to her future and sees no boundaries.

instills Moana with such wisdom, humor and strength that the character comes alive off the screen. Moana is the perfect heroine for young girls in our modern era. Even though she needs the help of Maui (voiced by The Rock with his usual suave charisma), she’s never a damsel in distress. Whenever she’s in trouble, she’s always trying to find her own way out of it and never relying on the big strong man to help her. Meanwhile, I can’t say enough about the songs in “Moana.” Jemaine Clement’s “Shiny” is reminiscent of Bowie at his best, while Cravalho’s

SCREEN: HATE WILL ALWAYS LOSE Richard and Mildred Loving didn’t set out to change the world. Richard’s days were mostly spent as a construction worker during the day, or on hot rods in his spare time. Mildred took care of their kids and kept the house. As their case became national news and ended up in the Supreme Court, they continued about their lives as usual while the world changed around them. The Lovings fell in love in Caroline County, Virginia, in the late 1950s. When Mildred became pregnant, they drove to Washington, D.C., to get married because of Virginia’s laws against interracial marriage. Soon after, they were both arrested and given three choices: annul the marriage immediately, face several years in prison or leave the state for 25 years. A story this powerful, topical and important needs to be told, and director Jeff Nichols tells it in the most

powerful way possible. There are no big speeches in “Loving.” Everything from the direction and the score to the script, cinematography and performances are all understated. There are no big moments where the righteous prevail. Instead, we get an almost repetitious number of scenes depicting the Lovings just living as history is made. As the film begins, the Lovings are already in love and she’s pregnant with their first child. There’s no long stretch watching them court one another. It’s a testament to the performances and chemistry of Ruth Negga (“Misfits,” “Preacher”) and Joel Edgerton (“The Gift,” “Warrior”) that we buy them as a couple almost immediately. Negga gives Mildred so many layers that she brought tears to my eyes with just a slight change of vocal inflection. It’s a remarkable performance and should be showered with awards next year. “Loving” will probably be shown in history classes and taught in film courses; every aspect of it is painstakingly put together from the perfect

"Loving" tells a timely story of our past

“How Far I’ll Go” is an instant Disney classic. It’s a testament to the brand that we can see Disney characters clutching onto boats and singing into the horizon in multiple movies, and yet it works almost every time. I know I’m being emotionally manipulated but the tears in my eyes could care less. Shut up and take my money, Disney, you’ve done it again. SW

supporting cast (seriously, Michael Shannon is a national treasure) to the authentic reproduction of 1950s-1960s rural Virginia. There is so much hate in the news every day that a story about two people fighting for love feels like a soothing balm. Since their love changed the constitution in regards to interracial marriage, it does something even more important than that. It

proves to us that love is always stronger than hate and that by fighting for love, you can change the world. SW Loving

sound like a broken record at this point, but I’ll say it again: Disney is having one hell of a year. Not just in terms of dollars at the box office, but creatively they have done some of their best work in years. While “Alice Through the Looking Glass” was rotten and “Queen of Katwe” and “The BFG” flopped, “The Jungle Book,” “Zootopia,” “Finding Dory,” “Pete’s Dragon,” and now, “Moana,” were all critical and commercial successes. “Moana” might not have the thematic importance of “Zootopia” or the raw emotional heft of “Dory,” but it’s one of the finest animated musicals Disney has put out in years. I’m gonna say it: it’s better than “Frozen” and none of the songs will annoy you as badly as “Let It Go.” That might be because of the brilliant trio of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina writing the songs, but it also might have something to do with the story being told.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / December 8, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Happy Hour 2:30 - 6:00 every day ALLIED: Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard star

INCARNATE: A new horror flick from the production company that brought us “Sinister” and “Insidious.” This tells the story of an exorcist who taps into the mind of the possessed and does battle with the demons in the dream realm. What's actually a pretty fun plot is destroyed by awkward direction and stilted performances, making the film almost pointless to watch. It's not scary or bad enough to be funny, just boring all the way through. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House

LOVING: Jeff Nichols, the director of “Midnight Special,” “Take Shelter” and “Mud,” takes on the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple sentenced to prison in 1958 for interracial marriage. Jeff Nichols is excellent at finding the small character moments inside much larger stories, so expect “Loving” to be an examination of the nuances of the Lovings, while also looking at racism in the 1950s. This should be a fantastic film. See full review on page 43. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

in a WWII throwback about a couple with some deadly secrets. The film is always entertaining and gorgeous to look at, but the script is somewhat undercooked with its characters, so we never care too much about their story. Even still, “Allied” is one of those movies that theaters were built to show: big, loud and bombastic with good performances and a timeless feel. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House

BAD SANTA 2: As much fun as it is watching

Billy Bob Thornton act like a roguish slob, too many years might have passed between this one and the original for people to care very much. Also, bad manners and brash political incorrectness might be things that many people aren't really in the mood for right now. “Bad Santa 2” is definitely going to suffer from some bad timing, regardless of how funny it is. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Redmond Cinema

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

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM: The springboard into a new five-

film franchise set in the Harry Potter Universe. Its 1920s NYC setting keeps the film from feeling like a retread of the previous franchise, but it will be interesting to see if there's enough material to stretch out over that many movies. Eddie Redmayne plays Newt Scamander, a man whose mission in life is to protect rare and magical creatures. As much fun as it is watching Scamander get up to hijinks in America, it still feels like there's something missing. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House

MOANA: Already being hailed as one of the best animated films of the year, “Moana” once again proves Disney is on a ridiculously predictable hot streak. The film tells the story of a Polynesian princess who goes on a journey to take a mystical relic back to a goddess. She teams up with the legendary demigod Maui (voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson”) and has a colorful and musical adventure. Since the music is by “Hamilton's” Lin-Manuel Miranda, this is not one to be missed. See full review on page 43. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema MOONLIGHT: One of the most talked about films of the year. Hailed as being “almost unbearingly personal,” this under-the-radar hit tells the story of a young man's struggle with his own sexuality. This movie challenges the way the media and white America look at young black men while also telling a powerful and profound story. The hype on this movie couldn't be much higher and it appears to warrant the praise. 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 HANDMAIDEN: Park Chan-wook is

one of the greatest filmmakers in history, full stop. His Vengeance Trilogy including “Thirst,” “Stoker” and “Snowpiercer” are all modern classics and “The Handmaiden” is no different. The film takes place in South Korea under Japanese colonial rule and tells a crime story using some of the most gorgeous and haunting imagery caught on film this year. Expect this to at least be nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, and don't be surprised if it wins. Tin Pan Theater

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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Redmond Cinema SW

Winter Wheels

Snow and ice? Nothing a well-prepped cyclist can’t handle By Russ Axon 45

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 49 / December 8, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

hen the snow hits the ground, it doesn’t mean your bike tires have to leave it. Between the potentially slippery roads, the restrictive snowfall and the unpleasant chill, it seems like an easy choice for cycling commuters to store away their bicycles for the season. Handling winter weather can be difficult, but it’s not impossible. With the right gear and mindset—along with a few tips from local bike experts—you can keep cycling right through Bend’s winter wonderland. Get a Grip Just like cars require chained tires during the winter, your bike tires need an upgrade, too. The goal is to generate more traction. Fat and/or studded tires provide a wider base and stronger grip that is ideal for icy roads. Some bikes can also get additional, practical adjustments. “For mountain bikers, we recommend running a little bit lower tire pressure. Doing so gives you a bigger contact patch on the ground,” says Henry Lanman, a bike mechanic at Pine Mountain Sports. Lanman clarifies that buying winter tires is always the best option. He also recommends switching to flat pedals because they are easier to dismount from. “Especially when there’s ice, you’re not going to fall on the ground,” Lanman says. “You can jump off quickly if you need to.” Maintain the Chain Bikes slow down in the cold, just like everything else. This makes it extra important to keep every part of your bike in top shape. “The same basic maintenance is appropriate if not more appropriate than summer time,” says Rich Bassett, a manager at Bend Bicycle Outlet. “You’re in an extreme environment and temperature that creates excess wear and tear, especially on the parts that get more use.” Since your bike’s drivetrain, chains and brakes put in extra effort during

With the right clothes, attitude and equipment, cyclists can keep pedaling all winter long.

the winter, Bassett says vigilant cyclists should regularly maintain those parts. In extreme cases, chains can freeze overnight. While this is rare, you can take preventative measures by wiping down your bike at the end of the day, and by using an oil-based lube that won’t freeze. Dress to Impress Even more important than protecting your bike is protecting yourself. The proper attire can make or break a winter ride. Hub Cyclery co-owner Matt Snow says winter cyclists should focus on two things: “You want warm and waterproof gear that will keep you dry, and something with bright colors to stay safe and visible.” A thick jacket, hat and gloves are a no-brainer, but booties are also a wise investment. These slip-on shoe covers help keep snow out and heat in. Along with a pair of waterproof pants and a good fender, slushy streets are no

longer a threat to your clean duds. Visible clothing also diminishes other threats common in the winter. “The roads are slick for everybody, it can be tough to see sometimes, and things can happen quickly if someone’s not paying attention,” Snow says. He recommends neon colors since they pop against almost everything, in addition to being stylish—in an ’80s throwback kind of way. Protect—and Use—Your Head At the end of the day, what it really comes down to is common sense. A tricked-out, serviced bicycle and awesome gear are meant to complement a proactive mentality. Ride defensively. Unless you’re training for a cyclocross race, there’s no need to push or challenge yourself. Everything is already more unpredictable in this weather, so don’t add to it. Plan your route ahead of time. If you have a regular route to the office,

leave earlier to account for slow-going road conditions. And be mindful of how drastically the weather can change your environment; what might be a challenging uphill during the summer becomes nearly impossible with ice on the road. Be prepared for any situation. It gets dark earlier and earlier each day, so make sure the batteries in your bike lights are charged. Bring extras. Pack some spare clothes in case whatever you’re wearing gets wet and cold. Put on that helmet you always mean to wear but forget to during the warm weather. Re-learn your hand signals, then use them. Remembering these simple suggestions, along with the helpful equipment, maintenance and attire tips from the experts, are sure to keep your bike tires turning all season long. SW

Who’s in your wood shed? By Jim Anderson 47

of intermountain lakes in three basins in present-day Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. The sediments are deposited in very fine layers. Each pair of layers is called a varve, and represents one year; that’s sediments representing a continuous fossil record of six million years. If fossil hunting is something you and your family enjoy, the Green River Formation fossil insects and fish will keep you so busy you’ll even pass up your afternoon naps. But back to the process. The larvae hatch and immediately begin chewing (ingesting) rotting wood which, with the chemicals they contain, make up the perfect food. It’s those hundreds of beetle larvae growing inside the rotting wood that bring woodpeckers (and also shrews) to individual trees by the hundreds.

The urge to reproduce takes over and they go on a sex frenzy, following the smoke to its source. living jewelry, highly prized by insect collectors. There are over 15,000 species of jewel beetles known worldwide. One from Cooktown, Australia, Temognetha alternata, will knock your eye out. It’s about 2 inches long and a living rainbow; the head is metallic green and the elytra has stripes of yellow, blue, red and azure. This isn’t something that just happened last week: there are fossilized jewelry beetles millions of years old that will also knock your eye out, and you don’t have to go that far to find them. The Green River Formation— covering a great deal of the Rocky Mountains—is rich in fossil insects millions of years in age. They’re in the Eocene geologic formation, an enormous salad of fossil-laden rock that records the sedimentation in a group

White-headed, black-backed woodpeckers and other wood blasters will be hammering away on the tree, digging out beetle larvae. Eventually, if the tree is of the correct texture, and there’s a need for a home, the woodpeckers will excavate a nesting cavity which, when the original builder is through raising babies, it will be used—year-after-year—for nesting by nuthatches, chickadees, swallows, small owls and other smaller birds. In summer, migrating bats will also use the cavities for day roosts, and in winter adult mourning cloak and brush-footed butterflies will hibernate in them. Wood-cutters occasionally miss seeing the nesting cavity and will cut a “wildlife tree” for firewood. That can sometimes be a disaster as the tree may have an active woodpecker nest with eggs and/or babies. But for sure,

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 49 / December 8, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ne of the things I enjoy about burning wood to keep my home warm is the added enjoyment I have watching who and what falls out as I put the wood in the wheelbarrow. When I’m burning mixed conifer, wood-boring beetles seem to be the most abundant insects that fall out of the firewood, and among them the flat-headed borer—which becomes the metallic wood-boring beetle at maturity. Wood-boring beetles usually get their start from fire. A fire in the forest is one of the most wonderful things that can happen to woodpeckers and the smaller competitors known as “gleaners,” including nuthatches, chickadees and the like. Adult wood-boring beetles go berserk when they sense smoke in the air. The urge to reproduce takes over and they go on a sex frenzy, following the smoke to its source. As soon as—and at times even before—the trees cool off, introduction of the elements that will break down the wood begin the process of rotting. That makes the burned tree perfect substrate for food for juvenile beetles that hatch from eggs laid into and under the bark. One of the most abundant and showy beetles to utilize our forests are the “jewel beetles,” aka metallic wood-boring beetles; also called the Buprestidae. The elytra (hard covering on the beetle’s back) is metallic green, red, orange, brown and other hues. In India, Thailand, Japan and other Asian countries, these beetles are used as

it will be loaded with beetle larvae that end up coming home with the woodcutter and stacked in the wood shed. It’s quite a sight to watch juncos, chickadees, nuthatches and small woodpeckers going in and out of the wood shed, searching for insect larvae on the outside of split pieces of firewood. If your wood shed is like mine, with a windbreak on the southwest side, the birds that hang out in your yard will have a safe and comfortable place to spend winter nights and plenty of insects and spiders to fill their bellies during the day. Unfortunately, most of the larvae living in firewood never have the opportunity to make it to their adult lives. The big pine borers, for example, can take up to five years to make it from egg to larva to adult, and not many people’s firewood supplies last that long. Be that as it may, sometimes there are surprises that drop out of a piece of firewood. If that should happen to you and you don’t know who you’re looking at, please take a moment and place it into a container and give me a call, 541-480-3728, or just send me an email: jimnaturalist@gmail.com, and we’ll have a good chinwag about your discovery.

Holiday decorations are an important part of the holiday experience for many homeowners, but it is important to take a few items into consideration if your home is on the market during this time. 1. Keep your windows clear. Try not to have the tree in front a window or decorations on your window. This may block your views, make the home darker, and gives the room a smaller appearance. 2. Make sure the Christmas tree is an appropriate size for the room. If the room is on the small side, consider getting a smaller tree this year. You can often get away with a taller tree as long as it is not too wide. 3. Make sure poinsettia plants are the appropriate color and size

for the room. Sometimes it is better to forego purchasing your usual large poinsettia. 4. If your room is on the small side and crowded with furniture, consider moving a piece of furniture to another room for the holiday season. This compensates for the extra space needed for the tree. It is important to keep an open feel to the room. 5. If you have outdoor sculptures or inflatable lawn ornaments, remember that they don’t look so great during the daytime hours, which is when potential buyers will be coming to view the home. The bottom line is to keep things simple and to not go overboard with holiday decorations when your home is on the market.

ADVICE GODDESS Do No Harem

I’ve been happily married to the same wonderful guy for 20 years. However, the longer we’re together the harder it is to remain faithful—surely for both of us. Sex and skin are everywhere these days, and men are especially impacted by the barrage of provocative images. How does a woman realistically balance this with the desire to have a relationship that’s monogamous in body and mind? —Troubled

A man can love you to pieces and count his blessings every day you two are together— and it won’t stop him from wanting to see your sister bend over. Sure, it can sometimes happen that a man “only has eyes for you”—like if you and he are kidnapped and held hostage in a small, windowless room. Otherwise, because male sexuality is visually driven, his eyes are likely to scamper up any yummy mummy or big-booty Judy passing by. But there’s good news from neuroscience: Contrary to what most women believe, this—in and of itself— is not a sign of bad character (though a kind, considerate man will do what he can to appear fascinated by that big crow instead of those big cahuengas). Though you can have a monogamous relationship, our minds are anything but monogamous and, in fact, pretty much have minds of their own. As neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga explains, about 98 percent of our brain’s activity happens beyond our conscious awareness—including some of the “reasoning” behind our choices and where our attention runs off to. Key players in who and what we’re drawn to are our brain’s “reward circuitry” and the neurotransmitter dopamine, pushing us to pay attention to and go after stuff that will help us survive and pass on our genes. Dopamine is ever on the lookout for this stuff—including hotties, or, as neuroscientist Wolfram Schultz puts it, “reward-predicting visual stimuli.” In other words, dopamine-secreting neurons are the crass buddy in a man’s brain, going, “Woo-wee, wouldja look at the Pointer Sisters on that broad!” Understanding the neuroscience behind attraction is helpful—revealing that attraction is a physiological reaction, like being tired or hungry. If your husband wants a sandwich, you don’t take that personally. And no, I’m not saying “gettin’ some” outside your marriage is the same as gettin’ some lunch (so, ladies, please put down those flaming pitchforks). The problem is that it’s been seen as a shameful personal failing (instead of the biological predisposition it is) to merely feel an attraction to someone other than your spouse. This means that the “forsaking all others” business in the wedding vows is often the first and last time the subject gets discussed. However, the late infidelity

researcher Peggy Vaughan explained that a couple are more likely to remain faithful if they admit that “attractions to others are likely (indeed inevitable) no matter how much they love each other.” This allows them to engage in “ongoing honest communication about… how to avoid the consequences of acting on those temptations.” In other words, it’s by admitting that we have a problem that we can get cracking on how to solve it. So, no—sadly—monogamy isn’t “natural.” However, on a hopeful note, neither are $300 Nikes, zero-gravity toilets, or messages that come by smartphone instead of by waving a loincloth over a fire.

Censor And Sensibility My boyfriend is very smart, but he curses. A lot. Even in front of my family. He says I shouldn’t try to curtail his free expression and mentioned some news report that said smarter people curse more. Am I being a tight-xxx? Or is he full of xxxx? —Upset When you ask your boyfriend to talk dirty to you, you shouldn’t need to specify, “Except at my grandma’s wake.” And no, there’s no evidence that smarter people curse more—though that’s what popped up in headlines across Clickbaitville. The actual finding—by swearing researchers Kristin and Timothy Jay—is that people who can rattle off a lot of words (those who have “verbal fluency”) can also rattle off a lot of swearwords. Quelle #&*@$ surprise. I’m no priss about profanity. However, as I explain in (heh) “Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck,” “at the root of manners is empathy”—caring about the impact your behavior has on other people. Your parents are likely to see your boyfriend’s bratty insistence on talking however he effin’ pleases, no matter who’s in earshot, as a sign of disrespect. It suggests an aggressive, narcissistic lack of interest in others’ feelings—including yours. That’s not exactly a selling point in a partner, plus it could lead you to dread being around your family: “You havin’ a psychotic break, son, or you just anglin’ for more pie?”

ASTROLOGY GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Goethe’s play

some splendor of the universe is much easier to deal with if you think of it as a series of small chunks,” wrote novelist Terry Pratchett. That’s true enough, but I’ll add a caveat: Now and then the trickle of small chunks of awesome splendor gives way to a surge of really big chunks. According to my astrological analysis, that’s either already happening for you, or else is about to happen. Can you handle it? I’m sure you’ve noticed that some people are unskilled at welcoming such glory; they prefer to keep their lives tidy and tiny. They may even get stressed out by their good fortune. I trust you’re not one of these fainthearted souls. I hope you will summon the grace you’ll need to make spirited use of the onslaught of magnificence.

“Faust,” the hero bemoans his lack of inner unity. Two different souls live within him, he says, and they don’t cooperate. Even worse, they each try to rule him without consulting the other. I’m guessing you’ve experienced a more manageable version of that split during the course of your life. Lately, though, it may have grown more intense and divisive. If that’s true, I think it’s a good sign. It portends the possibility that healing is in the works...that energy is building for a novel synthesis. To help make it happen, identify and celebrate what your two sides have in common.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows,” John Koenig coins words to describe previously unnamed feelings. I suspect you may have experienced a few of them recently. One is “monachopsis,” defined as “the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place.” Then there’s “altschmerz,” meaning “weariness with the same old issues you’ve always had.” Another obscure sorrow you might recognize is “nodus tollens,” or “the realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense anymore.” Now I’ll tell you two of Koenig’s more uplifting terms, which I bet you’ll feel as you claw your way free of the morass. First, there’s “liberosis”: caring less about unimportant things; relaxing your grip so you can hold your life loosely and playfully. Second, there’s “flashover,” that moment when conversations become “real and alive, which occurs when a spark of trust shorts out the delicate circuits you keep insulated under layers of irony.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1983, two Australian blokes launched a quest to tip a drink at every pub in Melbourne. Thirty-two years later, Mick Stevens and Stuart MacArthur finally accomplished their goal when they sipped beers at The Clyde. It was the 476th establishment on their list. The coming weeks will be a highly favorable time to plan an epic adventure of your own, Aquarius. I hope and pray, though, that you will make it more sacred and meaningful than Stevens’ and MacArthur’s trivial mission.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For three seasons of the year—spring, summer, and fall—a certain weasel species has brown fur. During that time, it’s known as a stoat. When winter arrives, the creature’s coat turns to white. Its name changes, too. We call it an ermine. The next spring, it once again becomes a stoat. Given the nature of the astrological omens, Pisces, I think it would make poetic sense for you to borrow this strategy. What would you like your nickname to be during the next three months? Here are a few suggestions: Sweet Sorcerer; Secret Freedom-Seeker; Lost-and-Found Specialist; Mystery Maker; Resurrector.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Normally I cheer you on when you devote single-minded attention to pressing concerns, even if you become a bit obsessive. But right now, in accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to run wild and free as you sample lavish variety. It’s prime time to survey a spectrum of spicy, shiny, and feisty possibilities...to entertain a host of ticklish riddles rather than to insist on prosaic answers. You have been authorized by the cosmos to fabricate your own temporary religion of playing around and messing around and fooling around.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet Adrienne Rich described “an honorable human relationship” as “one in which two people have the right to use the word ‘love.’” How is that right earned? How is such a bond nurtured? Rich said it was “often terrifying to both persons involved,” because it’s “a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because you’re in a favorable phase to become an even more honorable lover, friend, and ally than you already are. To take advantage of the opportunity, explore this question: How can you supercharge and purify your ability to speak and hear the truth?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The poet Dick Allen described Zen Buddhism as being “so filled with paradoxes that it jumps through hoops that aren’t even there.” I’m tempted to apply this description to the way you’ve been living your life recently. While I can see how it may have entertained you to engage in such glamorous intrigue, I’m hoping you will stop. There is no longer anything to be gained by the complicated hocus-pocus. But it’s fine for you to jump through actual hoops if doing so yields concrete benefits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For decades, numerous self-help authors have claimed that humans use ten percent or less of their brain’s potential. But the truth is that our gray matter is far more active than that. The scientific evidence is now abundant. (See a summary here: tinyurl.com/mindmyths.) I hope this helps spur you to destroy any limited assumptions you might have about your own brainpower, Leo. According to my astrological analysis, you could and should become significantly smarter in the next nine months—and wiser, too!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Born under the sign of Virgo, Mary Oliver is America’s best-selling poet. She wasn’t an overnight sensation, but she did win a Pulitzer Prize when she was 49. “What I loved in the beginning, I think, was mostly myself,” she confesses in one poem. “Never mind that I had to, since somebody had to. That was many years ago.” I bet that even at her current age of 81, Oliver is still refining and deepening her self-love. Neither she nor you will ever be finished with this grand and grueling project. Luckily for you both, now is a time when Virgos can and should make plucky progress in the ongoing work. (P.S.: And this is an essential practice if you want to keep refining and deepening your love for others.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most high-quality suits worn by men are made from the wool of merino sheep raised in Australia. So says Nicholas Antongiavanni in his book “The Suit: A Machiavellian Approach to Men’s Style.” There are now more than 100 million members of this breed, but they are all descendants of just two rams and four ewes from 18th-century Spain. How did that happen? It’s a long story. (Read about it here: tinyurl.com/merinosheep.) For the oracular purposes of this horoscope, I’ll simply say that in the next nine months you’ll also have the potential to germinate a few choice seeds that could ultimately yield enormous, enduring results. Choose well!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Five of my Scorpio acquaintances and 17 of my Scorpio readers have let me know that they’re actively seeking to make new alliances and strengthen their existing alliances. Does this mean that Scorpios everywhere are engaged in similar quests? I hope so. I would love to see you expand your network of like-minded souls. I would love for you to be ardent about recruiting more help and support. Happily, the current astrological omens favor such efforts.

Legal recreational cannabis may be ending soon, and with it, a huge income stream for states, including Oregon.

any Americans of many different backgrounds have been gripped with fear over the possible consequences of the recent presidential election. But one group of “undesirable” Americans has been overlooked. This is a different kind of group, one not based on ethnicity or religion, but rather employment status. Thousands of Oregonians are either employees or owners of cannabis businesses. To the extent that they are involved in the recreational cannabis market, they are—in order to pay the rent and feed their families—committing federal felonies on a daily basis. And now the threat of a job loss or jail time looms over their lives like never before. As Smoke Signals said last week, Trump’s position on states’ legalization of recreational cannabis is clear as mud. By contrast, the position of Jeff Sessions, his new Attorney General, is clear as day. “Good people don’t smoke marijuana,” Sessions said earlier this year. “We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized… It’s in fact a very real danger.” Sessions has not specified how or why cannabis is dangerous, which is unsurprising since there is actually no evidence to support his position. But Session’s position is shared by Vice President-Elect Mike Pence, whom Trump has reportedly offered the responsibility of being “in charge of all domestic policy.” With that responsibility comes a unique opportunity for Pence and Sessions. The size of the recreational cannabis market is set to nearly triple with the addition of California, Massachusetts, Nevada and Maine to the list of states where recreational cannabis businesses will be allowed. And of course the markets in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska, where recreational cannabis is already legal, are growing quickly too.

That means there will soon be many, many more owners and employees of recreational cannabis businesses around the country. And with these states receiving huge streams of tax revenue and reporting few if any negative social consequences from legalization, the list of legalizing states is set to grow beyond the current tally of eight. But the unholy triumvirate of Trump, Pence and Sessions has the opportunity to nip it in the bud, as it were, to put an immediate halt to the spread of legal recreational cannabis across America. Although it is settled law that medical cannabis is up to each state individually, it is equally clear that federal law renders the states’ recreational cannabis laws unconstitutional. Those laws have only survived this long thanks to the Obama administration looking the other way. Just as the Obama administration sued Arizona in 2010 to block its controversial immigration law targeting Hispanics, the Trump administration could sue the legal recreational cannabis states and obtain an order declaring the law unconstitutional and ordering the states to revoke all such business licenses. Then the Department of Justice could use those state records to track down and prosecute business owners, growers and even employees. Prosecuting tens of thousands of people for trafficking cannabis is probably as likely as a roving deportation force rounding up all undocumented people, or a federal registry tracking all Muslims living in the United States. But, however unlikely that may seem, a lawsuit filed in January, before the newly legalizing states get too far into their process, is more likely. It now seems like a very real possibility that the new year may bring the end of America’s experiment with recreational cannabis legalization for the foreseeable future.
