LIGHTMETER

PEDESTRIAN “TRAFFIC” The recent uptick in car vs. pedestrian accidents is inevitable. Bend has fostered or at least ignored the basic rules and laws involving pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicle traffic. The basic applicable laws state that pedestrians have the right of way, in a crosswalk, whether it is a “regulated” crosswalk or not. That’s pretty much a no-brainer, if there is a human walking into your path, you stop or slow to allow him or her to pass. In most cities, a pedestrian will wait on the curb until it is safe to walk. Not in Bend, however. In Bend, pedestrians have come to believe that they can walk anywhere, anytime, day or night with impunity and safety. There seems to have developed a sense of entitlement in this city that pedestrians “have the right of way” even if common sense would suggest that they wait a few seconds for a safe passage across a street (crosswalk or not) without causing one or more drivers to unexpectedly stop short. Downtown, I have seen more than one pedestrian walk into an unprotected crosswalk without looking in any way for traffic. I have also seen traffic stop and wait for someone standing on the corner with no intent to walk anywhere anytime soon. Traffic laws have two functions, to limit dangerous behavior, of course, but also to provide an expectation of the behavior of other drivers and various users of the roadway and crosswalks. People come to rely on those expectations for safe conduct on the roadways. When a pedestrian (or bicyclist) ignores traffic flow and the law and suddenly inserts him or herself into the flow, there can be repercussions many cars back, especially in roundabouts. (I’m told by BPD that has caused an increase in car-on-car roundabout collisions). In Bend, runners often just continue to run across at a roundabout without break-

DEVASTATING LOSS OF FISH To add to the enlightening Source article, No Fish (12/1), about the recent catastrophic reductions in fish numbers in the Wild & Scenic section of the Crooked River, the 86.4 percent reduction in redband trout and a 45.3 percent reduction of mountain whitefish equates to a combined loss of nearly 72,000 wild game fish. Alarmingly, fish in the largest size categories of both populations suffered the largest decline in numbers. The above losses were not primarily associated with the 2015 drought and were not “a result of conserving water in the reservoir” (as stated in the article). Instead these losses resulted primarily from draining the reservoir to a near historical low reserve of water during a dry year—thus leaving little water for adequate winter flows. This occurred because, in addition to the irrigation water released from the reservoir, every second of every day for several months, 80 cubic feet of water was released during a time when there was not a biological need of this water for fish and everyone knew there was an area-wide drought in progress. The release of 80 cubic feet of water per second was related to how Bureau of Reclamation staff interpreted language in the Crooked River Water Security Act. If this action had not occurred much more water could have been retained in the reservoir and then subsequently released during the winter when it was sorely needed to benefit fish. Supporters of this legislation believed it was going to benefit fish populations in the river—not result in killing huge numbers of them. The legislation that was approved secures water for irrigation but not for fish. The river below Bowman Dam is managed for sustainable populations of wild fish so hatchery-raised fish cannot be released to accelerate recovery of fish numbers. It is unfortunate that when the Crooked River legislation was being prepared that

fisheries biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife were politically excluded from participating in the process—especially as they are charged with managing fish populations in the river. These biologists have more experience and knowledge about managing fish in the Crooked River Watershed than anyone, and it is clear that these attributes are going to be needed in making future decisions about seasonal water release strategies that will benefit fish. Certainly their pre-legislation water management plan needs to be consulted. As the legislation lacks a sound drought management strategy there clearly is a need to modify the existing legislation to include ODFW fisheries biologists in making future water management decisions that will impact fish populations in the river. A group of retired biologists I belong to (who did not support the final version of this legislation) believe it was not in the best interest for fish for non-governmental environmental and fisheries organizations to endorse/support legislation that ensures first take water rights to an irrigation district that loses half the water released from the reservoir for irrigation before the water reaches irrigated fields. To reduce this huge loss of water we believe that, instead of the district funding construction of a hydroelectric facility at the dam, the first priority should be financing the piping of leaky water delivery canals to help manage future water releases from the reservoir. Such action would provide irrigators with the same amount of water they receive now, and if the conserved water is released at the best times to benefit fish it would help maintain stable fish populations that could continue to contribute to the sports fishing-related economy associated with the river. Another action that could be taken to better manage water releases is for scientists to use existing historical data to model the relationships between seasonal snow depth, water content, and ambient temperature to predict the volume of runoff water that will enter the reservoir at different times. As the reservoir nears storage capacity this information could reduce the large volume emergency water release events experienced in the past that are associated with gas bubble disease known to kill fish. After the catastrophic loss of fish associated with the initial year of interpreting and implementing the Crooked river legislation there is now hope that those making water allocation decisions will consult to manage future water releases for the maximum benefit of fish and wildlife—as the legislation intended. —John R. Anderson

and the holiday fare is taking its toll on your system. As an escape I thought I’d go for a run but even my mind turned on me, telling me that watching Tina Fey impersonating Sara Palin was a much better idea. Bah Humbug! So, I came up with an idea that just might take care of my all-around crappy Christmas attitude: The Twelve Days of Giving. It’s like the 12 days of Christmas and the advent calendar dove into a mosh pit together and this is what came out. I’ve chosen 12 organizations that I want to bring to people’s attention. If anyone feels moved to do so, a donation can be made directly to the organization. I’ll put the nonprofit of the day on Facebook with a link and then I’ll make a sign that I’ll wear as I go out for a daily run. Starting Dec. 13, I will run through downtown Bend with my 12 Days of Giving sign that states who I am running for. Maybe I’ll add an “Ask Me about it.” We’ll see how it goes. If nothing else, I have created a reason for the season that will motivate me to get off my butt and perhaps motivate others as well. Feel free to piggyback on this idea in your own way and community and if you do, please post so we can all share in the shift from crappy to crazy Christmas attitude! Ha Ha, Ho Ho, Hee Hee.

OPINION What’s Next, Legislature? Governor’s budget works to protect seniors and students, but it can only go so far

Early this month, Gov. Kate Brown released her recommended budget for the 2017-19 biennium. The budget’s title: “Strategic Investments for Challenging Times.” “Sustaining hard fought gains is nearly impossible with a tax system that is unstable, inadequate to meet our essential needs, and fundamentally out of balance,” said Gov. Brown. In November, voters approved Measure 96, dedicating 1.5 percent of state lottery proceeds to support Oregon veterans. It was the most-supported measure on the ballot. Meanwhile, Oregonians voted in favor of Measure 98, which requires state funding for dropout prevention and career and college readiness. But as we’ve seen in many instances this election season, voting in favor of something (or someone)—and having it actually win the popular vote doesn’t mean it’s going to come to pass as expected. In the case of Measure 96, Gov. Brown’s proposed budget sets aside the promised amount from the state lottery—but takes $10 million less for veteran’s services from the general fund. It still means an increase for veteran’s services, but ultimately means far less than voters expected. The budget also proposes spending 53 percent less on the post-secondary efforts than Measure 98 called for. OSU-Cascades, meanwhile, would get far less than requested to continue its expansion. Oregon Republicans blame the shortfalls on out-of-control spending. “Until we are willing to have this conversation (with Gov. Brown) and address the root of our budget problems, we will continue to experience the same kind of budget challenges we

are facing today,” said House Republican leader Mike McLane in a statement Dec. 1. Gov. Brown has another explanation. “In the next biennium, reduced federal funding, increases in the cost of state services and mandates from the ballot leave us with a projected $1.7 billion budget shortfall.” To fix the problem, Gov. Brown called for corporations to start paying their fair share. Voters rejected Measure 97, which would have infused the state with a projected $3 billion a year. While the measure had its flaws, the Legislature needs to try again to raise money, and soon. Options being floated include raising fees, more sin taxes, a commercial activity tax, and increasing personal income and property taxes. The governor’s budget already leans heavily on personal income, at 84 percent of state revenue. Corporate taxes bring 5 percent to the state coffers—roughly the same percentage brought in by the Oregon Lottery. Compare 84 percent versus 5 percent, and we agree with Gov. Brown’s statement: “State government will tighten its belt and live within its means, but not without painful cuts to critical programs at a level I find unavoidable and unacceptable.” She went on to say that corporations need to pay their fair share. Oregon’s Republicans may say it's spending, but it’s not a spending problem, it’s a revenue problem. Oregon’s Legislature needs to get straight to work in January working on revenue. Pay attention to spending and continue to be judicious, but also avoid the quibbling and get to work solving the problem. Our kids, seniors and veterans can’t wait. SW

THE M O R F

If a major quake hits the Pacific coast, we’ll feel it in Central Oregon—but the bigger shakeup will be from those using this region as a refuge from the destruction. BY BRIAN JENNINGS

cross the Northwest, the threat of an impending major earthquake looms large—so much so that the state of Oregon has created the “Cascadia Playbook” to map out emergency response coordination efforts statewide. While the local area isn’t expected to suffer serious damage, Central Oregon still plays a major role in that playbook. A HISTORY OF QUAKES

Although there are no written records, geologists think a major earthquake of between 8.7 and 9.2 on the Richter scale ravaged the coast of Oregon and Washington on Jan. 26, 1700. Evidence to support this claim includes tree rings dated to 1699—the last year of growth for the "ghost forests" that were killed when they dropped into tidal zones. These trees now become exposed only during low tide. More evidence recorded by Japanese observers tells of a major tsunami that hit Japan in 1700. Further, archaeological evidence has uncovered Pacific Northwest native coastal villages that were flooded around 1700. It’s happened before, and geologists say it will happen again. Researchers at Oregon State University predict a 15 to 20 percent chance of a major quake off the central to northern coast of Oregon within the next 50 years. The Cascadia subduction zone stretches from Northern California to Vancouver Island. Researchers say a major quake occurs between Newport and Astoria an average of every 350 years. From Astoria to Vancouver Island, a major event occurs on average every 430 years. It has been 316 years since the last event. “The type of disaster we’re looking at is nothing we’ve ever seen in this country,” says Andrew Phelps, Oregon’s director of emergency management. “This is really the worst potential natural disaster facing our country.” Phelps began his career in emergency management in New York, witnessing firsthand the events of 9/11.

At St. Charles Health System, Ken Quiner is emergency management coordinator. Previously he served as emergency planning liaison for Douglas, Coos, and Curry counties —all coastal communities where the major Cascadia earthquake would take a huge toll. “As we look at the situation and play it out, they are looking at being thrust back into the 18th century—horse and buggy style with no bridges, no roads, and no resources coming in except for what’s brought in from the outside by military or first responders or the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” According to Oregon’s scientific modeling—and depending on the timing—an estimated 1,100 people on the coast and along the I-5 corridor could be killed during the shakedown. An additional 13,500 could lose their lives during the tsunami that would

Oregon coast. Most resources— including food and fuel—that come into the Pacific Northwest come through ports in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. Transportation lines from Western Oregon would be severed by considerable damage to bridges, highways and rail lines. There may be energy interruptions with power outages that could last from one to seven days in Central Oregon. Natural gas lines might be severed here, and there will undoubtedly be interruptions to liquid fuel supplies such as gasoline and diesel, most of which is channeled through the Port of Portland. According to the OEM report, Central Oregon—and Redmond in particular—will become a main staging area for the recovery efforts. The Redmond airport will become the main hub airport serving the recovery effort, with the city a support base for recovery efforts. The Deschutes County Fairgrounds could become a staging area where fuel, food, medical supplies and other supplies would be

The type of disaster we’re looking at is nothing we’ve ever seen in this country. This is really the worst potential natural disaster facing our country.” —Andrew Phelps strike soon after. Statewide, as many as 440,000 residential buildings could be damaged, and up to 520,000 residents may need short-term shelter. CENTRAL OREGON IMPACTS When the Cascadia quake hits the coast and Western Oregon, Central Oregonians will feel it too. In fact, if the shake is as big as expected, at around 9.0, it will be felt by eastern Oregonians as far away as Baker City. While there’s not expected to be major damage here, the shake will last longer than recent, less severe earthquakes, and the expected ‘recovery duration’ of vulnerable buildings could be up to 30 days. Central and Eastern Oregon’s agricultural economy could take a long-term hit, with extensive damage to shipping ports up and down the

shipped to Western Oregon. The fairgrounds and other locations might also serve to shelter western Oregonians who were able to escape and head east over the mountains. Initial response, including rescue efforts, could take up to eight or more days before recovery efforts—including the ability to shelter large numbers of people—could even begin. “I think there is going to be a natural instinct for a lot of people in the Willamette Valley and along the I-5 corridor to move away or evacuate out of the area,” says Andrew Phelps at the state’s Office of Emergency Management. “There would be a shortage of food, water supplies and medical supplies, so there will be a tendency for people to head east where those things are available.”

LOCAL EFFORTS Sgt. Nathan Garibay is emergency coordinator for the Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Department. He is a busy man, attending an increasing number of meetings to prepare Central Oregon for the big shake. “We are really starting to ramp up trying to make sure our communities are prepared to not only take care of our own population but to help support the response to Western Oregon,” he said. “This will be a catastrophic event for them.” Garibay and his colleagues are working on plans to provide emergency fuel to the region after the event, including a fuel-rationing program to ensure continuation of essential government services. With an influx of first responders and the expected migration from coastal areas, other facilities including schools, gymnasiums, churches and government buildings would be utilized to provide services, including housing. “We have a responsibility to take care of our own population but also populations that are displaced here,” says Garibay. He says the region would be limited as to how large a population could be sheltered locally. For those displaced, it could be weeks or even months before they could return home. Many of those displaced will need emergency medical treatment, and Garibay says that will place a significant strain on medical services in Central Oregon. Hospitals in the Portland area and the Willamette Valley would be severely impacted, leaving St. Charles Health System in Bend as the only trauma care facility likely to be in operation. MEDICAL PREPARATION At St. Charles, Emergency Management Coordinator Ken Quiner is equally as busy as Garibay ensuring the hospital functions at maximum capacity during an expected emergency. “Right now we are implementing plans for the current winter storms, but those plans are applicable for the larger Cascadia event,” he says. Quiner says it’s critical to keep transportation lines open for staff and supplies. For Quiner, it’s a matter of planning for transportation problems, fuel shortages, emergency power, emergency water and other planning for the worst-case scenarios. He also continued on page 8...

draws on lessons learned from other natural disasters, such as the world’s largest-ever recorded earthquake, a 9.5 event that happened in Chile in 1960. “We want to maintain the ability to provide medical care to our communities despite what’s happening as best as possible,” he reflects. Quiner says St. Charles should be functional because facilities are built to code. “We do have concerns about fuel. We have backup generators but need to have the fuel to run them. We have the ability to store fuel, but we’re working with our community partners on how to best store fuel without it going to waste.” Quiner says St. Charles' backup generators and fuel supplies should be able to operate for a month "or so." INDIVIDUAL PREPARATION At home, Sgt. Garibay says everyone

should be prepared for an emergency and have a plan of action. “Be prepared to live on your own for two weeks without critical services. Here in the tri-county area, we say two weeks is the minimum but 30 days is best.” Another recommendation: Keeping vehicle gas tanks at least half full. At the American Red Cross – Cascades Region, Monique Dugaw says her organization offers a wide range of preparedness education programs, including a presentation called "Prepare Out Loud." More than 5,000 people have attended those presentations, including a recent audience of 400 at Bend’s Tower Theatre. The Red Cross offers a "Prepare Guide" for region-specific disasters. It also has created a resource page on its website specifically for the Cascadia earthquake at redcross.org/PrepareOutLoud. SW

Get prepped for the big one: • Two weeks of water, or 1 gallon per individual per day. • Secure your water heater to prevent fire and loss of water during an earthquake. • Secure furniture and objects in your home.

1 Day

• Consult your doctor to store supplies of vital medications including prescriptions. • Have an emergency kit at home, in your car and at work. • Develop a plan for communicating with loved ones following a quake. • Participate with family in earthquake and fire drills two times a year. • Know how to turn off your home’s gas main if you smell gas. • Share your preparedness plans with others in conversation and social media. State Director of Emergency Planning Andrew Phelps says simple things save lives in a disaster. “Have a plan, be prepared, and know your resources.” Phelps thinks Oregon is planning well for the quake disaster when it comes, but more must be done. “Being prepared doesn’t have a finish line. It’s an ongoing process.”

Lessons from the Ghost Ship Fire

Safety in public spaces is a priority for local officials—but artists say the deadly Oakland fire is a testament to the financial squeeze put on creatives

arlier this month, 36 people died in the fire inside the Ghost Ship, a multipurpose artist’s space and sometimes-venue in Oakland, Calif. According to reports from survivors, escaping the second-floor gathering space required navigating through a confusing maze of smoke and turning staircases. Officials in Oakland have ruled out arson, according to Oakland’s “East Bay Times”, but are looking at an overloaded electrical system as the cause. The Ghost Ship building was permitted as a warehouse but was home to many artists. According to the “East Bay Times,” the warehouse appeared to have never undergone a safety inspection. In a city as large as Oakland, failing

haven’t put the building on the market, there’s a chance that it wouldn’t be on the radar of local officials such as the fire department and the building department. The monitoring of old buildings that haven’t come up for a permit or sale largely relies on a complaintsdriven system, says Billy Staten, assistant building official for the City of Bend. With that, it’s easier to see how situations such as the Ghost Ship fire could have happened—but it also highlights a need for more vigilance on the part of building owners and even visitors to keep an eye out for safety. “We do have an inspection list, but it’s the buildings that we know of,” says Larry Medina, deputy chieffire marshal of the City of Bend Fire

“I think if the fire marshal and the City knew how some of us live, they would shut us down.” to notice a building’s absence from inspection rolls may not seem so unusual. In a small city such as Bend, one might think the opposite—but that’s not necessarily the case. Oregon adopted its first Uniform Building Code in 1973, which became effective in 1974. If a building was built before that time and its owners haven’t applied for any remodeling permits or

Department. “Our list is generated from what we’ve inspected.” In the interest of safety, Medina says the department prioritizes buildings where people sleep, such as hotels and motels, tapping the City of Bend’s voluntary business registration system to help. Business owners hoping to open a venue have to jump through a number of safety hoops before they’re given a

certificate of occupancy. That starts with working with City of Bend building officials to plan for sprinklers, alarms and adequate egress lighting and exit points. State law requires operators with buildings over 4,000 square feet to work with a registered architect to draw up plans. After receiving that certificate, the Bend Fire department handles regular safety inspections. It can be a confusing process, says Volcanic Theatre Pub’s Derek Sitter, but he had help. “My partner was an architect, so he already knew all the city officials,” says Sitter. “He knew exactly what needed to be done. It didn’t make the process any quicker, but it did make the process a lot easier.” So what’s the first thing to do when you enter a venue as a visitor? In the interest of safety, “Look for an exit,” says Staten—and there should definitely be two of them. “People don’t practice this stuff very often,” he says. “It’s not just fire that I think about,” says Sitter. “Somebody walks through the door with a gun, how am I going to get them out? You have to have a plan, because (if something happened) that’s something that I as an owner, that would be tough to live with.” Meanwhile, local artists are drawing a line between the devaluation of

artists’ work and a lack of affordable housing, a combo forcing people to make tough decisions about where to live. Several artists have spoken out about the challenges nationwide and locally. One Bend artist, who spoke to the Source Weekly on the condition of anonymity, says she lives in a camper in a Bend backyard to make ends meet. “I think if the fire marshal and the City knew how some of us live, they would shut us down. With the cold temperatures, I have been a little scared about a fire in my home,” she says. “The Oakland fire made it all too real. It got down to 16 last night (maybe lower), so my heater was going all night, which I don’t usually do, but had to. However, I can’t afford to live in this community and do what I do if I don’t live how I live.” Medina says he’s dealt with similar situations of people living in buildings not meant to be permanent dwellings. “In some cases it’s the economic, and sometimes it’s them not having the right help,” says Medina. In the wake of the Ghost Ship fire, everyone’s focusing on code violations and unsafe conditions, Medina says, but that doesn’t always solve the issues. “If you push them out they just end up somewhere else.” SW

Everyone loves a good scarf Whilst you’re sitting by the fire waiting for spring to come, why not do something with your sadly idle hands? They say idle hands are the devil’s workshop… so steer wide and clear of that devilry by taking up the wildly popular activity of knitting. Once you get into it, all your friends will want one of your angelic creations. Have a loved one who needs more to do this winter? Get them a gift card for Gossamer, where classes include “Knit One, Breathe Too!” and “Intro to Magic Loop Sock Knitting.” Gossamer 1326 NW Galveston Ave., Bend 541-383-2204 gossamerknitting.com Classes $15-$65

WHEN WINTER CONSPIRES TO KEEP YOU INDOORS, LET THESE INDOOR GIFT IDEAS HELP YOU ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST.

Vintage Glamper Central Oregonians love to get out and about… but after a while, sleeping in a tent starts to get rough on the body. So if you have a garage and a deep need to restore things back to better than their original condition, this might be the project for you. Vintage “glampers”—whether they’re of the glossy Airstream variety or the beat up, lost-in-the-backyard variety, are all the rage these days. Pick one up for your sweetie from Craigslist or your nearest salvage/ vintage trailer yard and you’ll have a restoration project that will keep you busy alllll winter. (Get it done by summer and you could sleep in it while you rent your house out for astronomical vacation rental fees.)

Baby, it’s cold outside. Most Central Oregonian families don’t just tolerate the winter months, they look forward to them as a time to engage in adrenaline-pumping outdoor activities. Even so, you can only hit the slopes so often. Still, being stuck inside doesn’t mean the family can’t have fun. This holiday season give your family, or a family that you adore, one of these great indoor gifts to do together. BY ANNETTE BENEDETTI

One Gift, Two Gift, Bad Gift, Good Gift

Audrey Bell

Know who you’re shopping for

How to avoid buying your spouse a terrible gift You’ve done it. You found the perfect gift for that special someone in your life. It’s expertly wrapped, resting under the tree, and on Christmas morning you can barely hide your excitement as your significant other opens the box and exclaims, “Oh … ” Buying a gift for your spouse feels like an impossible challenge. You want your gift to be spectacular and memorable, not dull and forgettable. But a little thought and effort goes a long way when it comes to gifting, especially with regards to your bae. Here are a few tips to help you this season: BY RUSS AXON

Aim for unique, fallback-on classics

Common sense, no matter how sensible, always bears repeating. Whether you’ve just made your relationship Facebook official or you’re approaching another milestone wedding anniversary, the first trick to buying a good gift is to know your partner. “The first thing I always ask is, ‘Who are you buying for?’ And I don’t just mean is it for your wife or girlfriend or whoever. I want to find out what are the interests of the person you’re buying for,” says Sarah Miller, a manager at the Ju Bee Lee clothing store in Bend. Does your significant other enjoy the outdoors or staying in? Cooking at home or dining out? Reading a book or watching a movie? Paint a mental picture of your significant other. Is there something she needs? Something she wants?

So how to go beyond buying yet another tie or perfume set? Bender says a common customer “problem” at Revolvr is finding the perfect gift for “the husband or boyfriend who has everything. People come in all the time like, ‘What do you get the guy who has everything?’” She recommends unique, offbeat gifts that your significant other wouldn’t purchase for himself. “We have these survival kits for the zombie apocalypse, we have a make your own hot sauce kit. We have these nice grooming products for beards and shaving. It’s stuff that no one has.” It’s also never a bad idea to fall back on classics. For men, socks and underwear or watches are always a safe bet; for women, candles, scarves and, of course, jewelry are perennial favorites.

Take advantage of local shops

A bad gift is a thoughtless gift

Once you know what you want, finding it is no problem in the local area, and the local shops are a great resource for the unsure gift buyer. “We actually track all of our sales here,” says Brianna Bender, store manager at Revolvr Menswear. “So if someone’s husband or boyfriend shopped here before, I can look up his name and see what sizes he’s purchased previously, which is half the challenge in buying clothing.” Many local shops also host customer appreciation nights or special events throughout the month. A few shops also have wish list programs so you can see exactly what your partner’s been eyeing. “It’s a really good option to come in person because you can see everything we have to offer,” says Miller.

“A bad or risky gift choice is something that’s too far to one spectrum,” says Miller. “Like we have really nice drinking glasses and flasks, but if it’s early on and you don’t really know the person’s habits, those might not be the best idea.” Ultimately, it really is the thought that counts. While some couples hold themselves to high gifting standards, most spouses will love a gift that reflects their personality and shows a bit of effort. And, according to Bender, something that’s not totally useless is helpful, too. “A guy gave me an iTunes gift card once. Worst gift in this day and age. I don’t even have an iTunes account!”

“THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS”

JUJU EYEBALL

BEATLES—Love the Fab Four? While there’s no longer a possibility of seeing all four of them perform together in concert, you can get the locals’ next best thing: Juju Eyeball. The band has roughly 60 songs culled from The Beatles’ repertoire, so whether you’re an early-Beatles (think “A Hard Days’ Night”) fan, or more of a later-Beatles (“Let It Be”) fan, there’s likely to be something that fits your groove. // 8pm.

OREGON COMICS SHOWCASE

ZEPPARELLA

COMEDY—At first I thought this was a comic book convention and was very excited, but then I learned it was comedians and was still pretty excited. With Andrew Brunello, Justin Zimmerman, Kate Murphy and Carter performing, expect to laugh until your stomach hurts. I still kinda wish we had a comic-con, though. // 8pm. Seven Nightclub, 1033 NW Bond St., Bend. $8-$10.

ZEPPELIN—Some people say the Beatles are the best band ever. Some vote for Led Zeppelin. If you’re in the latter camp, then seeing this band of lovely ladies cover Zeppelin just might be your stairway to heaven. Starting with the music of Led Zeppelin but then adding in their own improvisation, this is sure to be a rockin’ show. // 9pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $20 adv., $22 door.

AKA FACELESS, CEDAR TEETH & COMANCHE JOEY

Saturday 17

MUSIC—This uniquely Oregon band has delighted listeners with its musicianship and humor for 25 years. A talented eightpiece ensemble, The Trail Band originated in 1991 as a show to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail and continued well past that via audience encouragement. The holiday show is a mix of spirited traditional songs as well as original tunes. // 3pm & 7pm. Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend. $36, $41.50.

UGLY SWEATER PARTY

Monday 19 - Saturday 24 “THE SANTALAND DIARIES”

Blend modern humor with holiday tradition by grabbing Grandma’s Christmas-themed sweater and party for a cause, as proceeds from the evening support Family Resource Center. Santa will make an appearance and there will be a raffle, give back tree and $1 per pint of the Snow Cap Wheat goes to the nonprofit. // 5-8pm. Craft Kitchen and Brewery, 803 SW Industrial Way Suite 202, Bend. No cover.

CHRISTMAS SHOW—Clinton Clark returns as Crumpet the Elf in David Sedaris’ modern classic riff on dealing with the holidays when you’re just not feeling it. For a show this snarky, sarcastic and bitter, there’s never a moment that doesn’t have true heart and a spirit for Christmas. “Santaland Diaries” takes warmth, wit and snark and adds the perfect amount of holiday tinsel. // 7:30pm with 2pm matinee, Dec. 24. 2nd Street Theater, 220 NE Lafayette Ave., Bend. $12 adv., $15 door.

All your holiday-themed fun in one handy night. // Dec 21, 22 & 23, 7pm. Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend. $15 adults, $10 children. SW

THE TRAIL BAND

ROCK—Excellent local band Patrimony headed off to Nashville last summer and then sadly broke up. Frontman Trevor Martell and his drummer are touring as a duo under the name AKA Faceless and headed back to Bend for what might be their only show. Cedar Teeth and Comanche Joey aren’t too shabby either! This show is going to melt faces. // 9pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $8 adv., $10 door.

my belief is that if we fill it with positive energy and positive people on a regular basis, it will change.

prés Ski is defined as “the social activities and entertainment following a day of skiing.” That’s still somewhat a thing as people hook up for food and brew somewhere warm and talk about their day, but the act of aprés ski used to be much more of an event. David Marchi, the curator of Crow’s Feet Commons, has teamed up with Mt. Bachelor, Deschutes Brewery, Subaru of Bend and 92.9 to make it an event once again. “The creation of the Aprés Ski Bash was a collaboration between the Downtown Business Association and Mt. Bachelor,” says Marchi. “The courtyard was an obvious location to host the events, especially when we opened a ski shop here in 2012. Deschutes Brewery is a great partner because they understand and fully support the community as a whole and are great advocates to the outdoor lifestyle.” Wilderness, Corner Gospel Explosion and HELGA team up this Friday for the first of the Aprés Ski monthly series. If you want to know who’s coming for the rest of the winter though, you’ll just have to wait. Marchi says, “We don’t have all the new bands confirmed. I know that The Thermals will be returning. With regards to this event in particular, I really have to say that these local bands are extremely talented in my eyes. Since the inception of Wilderness, it has been awesome to see their music morph and improve over the years. HELGA just plain rocks and I am excited to see Corner Gospel as a two-piece after a tragic event this summer.” There’s been so much publicity about the area in front of Crow’s Feet Common’s (both positive and negative) that an event like the Aprés Ski Bash also gives people a chance to view that area in a better light. “I am a firm believer that good energy will overpower bad energy,” says Marchi. “For decades, the ‘circle’ was a rough place, and still is to some extent.

atrimony was one of Bend’s best local bands for years before its members hit the road and headed to Nashville. For the seven years they resided in Bend, they performed over 300 shows across 17 states and grew the reputation for being a band not to miss. Patrimony sounded just as confident, whether they were playing blues, driving, intense rock or space age, Bowie-esque psychedelia. During their tenure in Nashville, the group disbanded, but frontman Trevor Martell isn’t through playing music in Bend. Teaming with Patrimony’s drummer Jason Allenby, Martell is touring now as AKA Faceless, a stripped down and intense duo with quite a different sound. “With a two-piece setup, I can promise some acoustic, a few Patrimony tunes that you might not ever hear again, and even new songs featuring our drummer playing the guitar with me on drums,” says Martell. “I believe these will be songs that will inspire you to be yourself. Work hard. Strive for what you believe in. Don’t give up no matter what tribulation or fork in the road is ahead of you.” Heading to Nashville was a natural progression for Martell and Patrimony. “For some, they believe some ray of light will hit them in a city like Nashville or Los Angeles,” says Martell. “For me, it was about challenging ourselves, learning, taking a risk and

“Faceless might be a ‘V for Vendetta’-like figure. What’s behind the mask doesn’t matter. Meaning, I am me. AKA you, your mother, father, brother and sister. People can expect songs of deep anger, embedded grace, gratefulness, regret and even sorrow." —TREVOR MARTELL

we all did. Pressures like moving to a new place can be hard on any couple, businessman or band. But there’s always tomorrow to yet again learn and grow. I’ll be spending plenty of time in Nashville and here in Oregon. I love both so much and miss both while I’m away.” I asked Martell how to describe AKA Faceless, a band with no record out or new music to listen to. His description is just enigmatic enough to make me want to be first in line to see their show. “Faceless might be a ‘V for Vendetta’-like figure, says Martell. “What’s behind the mask doesn’t matter. Meaning, I am me. AKA you, your mother, father, brother and sister. People can expect songs of deep anger, embedded grace, gratefulness, regret and even sorrow. I may stop the show halfway through and play a song acoustic for people if that’s what the feeling says to do. I am no longer a ‘rock’ figure. Consider me a reflection of yourself through song.” SW AKA Faceless with Cedar Teeth & Comanche Joey

Standing Ground

Four Central Oregonians connect to Standing Rock By Jared Rasic

“Our second night at the camp law tear gas and rubber bullets on a crowd who had gathered peacefully. I had a chance to film, some of our crew helped with medical transport for folks who were going into hypothermia.” —Jesse Roberts For months, people have been gathering at the Oceti Sakowin camp on the Standing Rock Reservation in support of the water protectors battling the Dakota Access Pipeline. Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers denied the access permit for the pipeline—but the fight isn't over. Among the supporters are at least four Oregonians taking action. These are their stories, in their own words. Jesse Roberts: Creative Director of Rise Up International. On what the media is getting wrong: In extremely cold weather volunteers chop wood, winterize, sort donations, create art and make music. A school is being built, construction is going on all day and into the night, wind turbines and large solar panels are being installed. A new society is being built! A new way of thinking – a paradigm shift is being developed.

CULTURE

He and dozens of other members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs traveled to Standing Rock as water protectors. Here is an excerpt of his words. “The entire Republican party is in support of the DAPL, meaning that they don’t mind potentially poisoning the drinking water of 7 million + people down stream and our government is OK with that? For a powerful political party in our country to think this way and its simply business as usual? No one wants to attack that system of thinking so the big companies remain at the throne while the rest of us take the scraps of their decisions? This exists in this great country, Land of the Free for Oil Companies.” Erika Kightlinger traveled to Standing Rock and helped build 131 stoves for the encampment. On the moment she knew she had to do something: I was watching things on the Internet and felt like I wasn’t getting the honest picture, so I started talking to people and was invited to a Native American church ceremony. At

Stewart Fritchman, owner of Bellatazza, donated hundreds of dollars in coffee to Standing Rock. On the impact: Will all our collective contributions help this cause? It already has. Through constant promotions and sharing on social media, the whole world is now watching. In part, because of small donations from tens of thousands if not a million different people, all united for the cause of Standing with Standing Rock. This has become a media coup against the DAPL who thought they could, again, run ramshackle over the First Nation People and little to no obstacles would be in their way. I believe deeply in supporting our local community. It is deeply touching to me to see a community like Bend reaching across the states to people we have never met to join our voices in peacefully being heard – by the millions. SW

A TOWER CHRISTMAS: A NEW HOLIDAY TRADITION

All your holiday show needs, wrapped into one neat bow

Jefferson Greene is the Youth Program Coordinator of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

f you’ve been looking for a new holiday tradition your family can call its own, the Tower Theatre Foundation is ready to deliver. Dec. 21-23, the foundation will present its annual variety show called, “A Tower Christmas: Holiday Wonderland.” From singing and dancing to theatrical performances and readings, this production offers guests the

best of what the season has to offer, wrapped up nicely into one magical show. “A Tower Christmas” offers an evening of performances by some of Central Oregon’s most renowned actors and singers, including: John Kish (“A Chorus Line”), Steve Livingston (“Next to Normal”), Kimmie Neff (“Avenue Q”), Heather Salvesen (“A Tower Christmas”), and many more. In addition to performances by students from local high schools, dancers from Academie de Ballet Classique will perform selections from “The

Nutcracker” and members of Cascade Theatrical Company will present a reading from “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Show producer Brad Ruder says: “We’re all about the community, because the community supports us. We want to create new family traditions and memories that revolve around the beauty and magic of sharing wonderful times together.” According to Ruder, one of the production’s highlights is a bit that allows all of the children to come on stage and be part of the performance. He says, "Every year there is a reading

enforcement used water cannons,

the ceremony I met a woman who had just driven in from Standing Rock and I asked her what was happening out there. I wanted to understand. I asked her what they needed and she said they needed a construction crew, building supplies and wood stoves. During this ceremony I thought very clearly that I was to take wood stoves out. It was a very strong inner guidance...a small voice.

Erika Kightlinger and friend prepare to take a semi of supplies to Standing Rock in North Dakota.

Chowda This World

By Jared Rasic

Irish Stew at Rockin’ Daves I should get this out of the way up front: my personal favorite is the Irish Stew from Rockin’ Dave’s. It’s not always on the menu, so when you finally luck out and get the giant bowl of thick creamy broth filled with pastrami, corned beef, corn and other assorted goodies fresh from Dave’s chopping block, the proper response is to rejoice. Whenever it’s their soup of the day, I go back every single day until it’s gone. I know. Accept me. Steelhead Chowder at Drake As I am thorough when it comes to eating food, I had to try the Chicken and Dumpling soup from Drake, as everyone told me it would make angels weep. This must have been true because they were long since sold out, leaving me to try the Steelhead Chowder instead, which tasted like that selfsame angel’s sweet, sweet tears. The trout was perfectly cooked and the broth was thick without being heavy on the belly. Drake was seriously cutting into my love of the Irish Stew. Cilantro Chicken Chowder at Bend Soup Company But what makes a soup good? How come I try so hard to make delicious soup but it always tastes like burnt candy wrappers and shame? Dave Johns of the ridiculously-delicious

Bend Soup Company (seriously, their Cilantro Chicken Chowder is painfully perfect), tries to explain it to me. “It’s all about fresh ingredients along with a balance of spices and ingredients,” says Johns. “Layers of spices and ingredients that make it difficult for the customer to know what makes it so amazing and gives it that WOW.” Clam Chowder at Parilla Grill Parrilla’s clam chowder is also legendary. It’s simple and without fanfare, but quietly makes your mouth burn from the fiery Stash Sauce and also from the instant desire for another bowl. I asked Parrilla’s Nova Aguiniga what makes their chowder so addictive and her answer was cryptic, yet appropriate. “So much time and love goes into making that chowder, we don’t cut any corners and I think that shows,” says Aguiniga. “The best ingredient is the Stash. That’s what makes it.” This still doesn’t help me steal their recipe. Global Fusion How about Bethlyn Rider from Global Fusion? She must have the answers. “I make pretty darn good soup,” says Rider. “Secret. Salty, sour, sweet and spice. Even amounts. Lots of vegetables caramelized or roasted, great rich simmering stock, roasted garlic, bay leaves, kaffir leaves and tender meats.” TENDER MEATS!! I love tender meats! Tom Kah, Tom Saap and Khao Tom at Wild Rose The answers I received from Facebook were all over the map. Someone even said Bend didn’t have any good soups! That’s crazy. Has this person tried all of them? I know they’re objectively wrong because we live in a town that has Wild Rose’s Tom Kah, Tom Saap or (my personal favorite) the Khao Tom. Seriously, the Khao Tom rice soup with ground pork, fish sauce and a poached egg is the finest breakfast soup I have ever had, while also being the only one I can possibly imagine. Hangovers are gone instantly. Others People Love

Ariana selected for OpenTable “Best Restaurant” category With a fine attention to detail, a rotating seasonal menu and the use of high-quality, locally-grown ingredients, Ariana Restaurant is no stranger to big praise by critics and writers who’ve dined there. This year, Ariana has been awarded, for the second year in a row, the OpenTable 100 Best Restaurants in America. Ariana is one of four restaurants chosen in the state of Oregon. OpenTable is an online reservation system serving over 24,000 restaurants.

Several people swear by the tomato bisque from Village Baker, while even more folks say the French Onion from 900 Wall is off the chain. My personal favorite answer was from Phillip Sinclair: “The inside out grilled cheese with tomato soup from Real Food Bistro is the truth.” Regardless of your truth or my truth, the one thing we can all agree on is soup is better than everythingincluding puppies, sunsets and a child’s laughter. In such a time of division and strife, it’s nice to know that soup has our back. Soup will never let us down. It only wants to make us warm. SW Rockin’ Daves

Bethlyn’s Global Fusion moves From caterer to food cart to brick and mortar, Bethlyn’s Global Fusion has quickly become a locals' favorite. The fried avocado tacos put Bethlyn on the map, and now her menu boasts an eclectic internationally-flared mix of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore fare. Dishes on the fixed menu include Korean waffle bowls, Vietnamese salmon sandwiches, and bi bim bop bowls. Bethlyn’s success at the old Second Street Eats location has prompted the search for a larger venue. On Dec. 23 the second street location will close, reopening at the old New York Sub Shop location on Newport Avenue, across the street from Newport Market and Backporch Coffee. Bethlyn’s Global Fusion is expected to go back online the first or second week of January.

Root Cellar gets a brick-andmortar location Bethlyn’s old location will not be vacant long. Anna Witham of the Root Cellar will open a permanent restaurant there starting early February. The popularity of the Root Cellar’s 1-2-3 pop-up dinners and demand for more Root Cellar meals encouraged Witham to open 123 Ramen. This Ramen shop will be “very housemade,” says Witham, with her objective to be “nourishment for the masses!” SW

e all like soup. It’s OK. Nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s hot, delicious and filled with the meats and/or veggies that we love. I know people love soup and that Bend is a bit of a Soup Town, USA, but when I asked people on Facebook what restaurant in Central Oregon made their favorite soup, I certainly wasn’t expecting 120+ comments that ranged from hot and cleansing pho to multiple dueling clam chowders.

any, many towns and municipalities across the US call themselves “Beer City” these days. During my travels around beer country, I still say Bend, of course, is the best one. (That statement’s in print, so it must be true.) The western Michigan city of Grand Rapids is the only one actively promoting “Beer City” as a nickname for itself, however, and it’s fair to say they’ve got a decent claim at it. This is pretty clear for any visitor once they pick up a free Beer City “Brewsader” passport, a bit like the Bend Ale Trail on steroids, with entries for 32 breweries in the greater area. Beer dates to the 1830s around these parts, with German settlers bringing their brewing equipment over from the Old World. Beer had its first heyday around the turn of the century, when the Grand Rapids Brewing Company was one of the largest buildings in downtown (lovingly renovated and reopened as a brewery in 2012). A quarter-million barrels were produced here before Prohibition, but beer didn’t really kick off again until 1997, with the establishment of Founders Brewing off Canal Street. Founders, alongside Bell’s Brewery an hour south in Kalamazoo, are two of the major regional craft brewers that Deschutes competes with in the Midwest. Here the line ranges from All Day IPA (one of the beers that kicked off the concept of a “session IPA”) to

the original Breakfast Stout, a sublime combination of oatmeal, coffee and chocolate. It’s got a great big taproom not far from the downtown hockey arena, serving up equally large deli sandwiches and keeping itself full nearly all week. Other Grand Rapids Must-Visits: • HopCat: There are now 12 HopCat locations across the Midwest, but the original is just a few blocks from Founders. It’s got 49 taps of beer from across Michigan (including six or so of their own) and around 250 bottles of mostly Belgians. Come for the taps, stay for the “crack fries” and poutine. • Brewery Vivant: There’s farmhouse, and then there’s farmhouse. This brewery is located inside an old church and funeral home. The bar forms a U shape around what used to be the altar, creating a unique environment to enjoy the Belgianstyle wits and red ales. • New Holland: Downtown GR plays home to this brewery’s Knickerbocker taproom, the center of their experimental brewing and distilling operations. They’re undoubtedly best known for Dragon’s Milk, a heavy barrel-aged stout, and the bar usually has multiple variations on tap at once. SW

"Nocturnal Animals" is a challenging work of art By Jared Rasic

SCREEN

filmmaking and applies it to three completely different genres of film, combining them all for an absolutely spellbinding narrative. The section that follows Susan as she reads the novel is cold and clinical, with a backdrop of polished gates and lonely L.A. mansions. The revenge story is grimy and sweaty with a genuine Texas Noir heartbeat that feels like the best of Joe R. Lansdale meets “Hell or High Water.” The flashbacks are warmly lit with deep close-ups on faces of our central couple when there was still hope left in their eyes. “Nocturnal Animals” is not an easy film to watch. The segment where the family is tormented by the rednecks on a lonely Texas highway is almost unbearably tense and horrifying. The worst thing you could imagine happening comes to pass and, even though you see it coming from miles away (just like the family does with the headlights of their attackers), it’s still deeply unsettling to witness. There is a cynicism so deeply rooted into the DNA of “Nocturnal Animals” that the film plays like Ford working out some demons of his own. Susan was unhappy when she was married to the sensitive novelist and she’s still deeply depressed living in her modern L.A. mansion with her emotionally distant husband. Edward’s novel might be a Texas rape-revenge thriller, but it’s really just him unpacking his

he opening credits for “Nocturnal Animals” let the audience know exactly what they’re getting into. Slow motion shots of morbidly obese women grinding with American flags and sparklers as director (and designer) Tom Ford’s camera lingers on their eyes, pouty lips and massive flesh. Within seconds, my jaw dropped and remained that way for the next two hours. There are three intertwining narratives here, clawing at each other to be the dominant story. Susan (Amy Adams) is an unhappy, rich gallery owner whose husband is having an affair. Her estranged ex-husband Edward (Jake Gyllenhaal) sends her the manuscript for his soon-to-be-published novel, “Nocturnal Creatures,” which is dedicated to her. The second story reenacts the novel as Susan reads it. It follows a married couple and their teenage daughter driving across West Texas when they’re run off the road by some evil rednecks. The bulk of the story deals with the husband teaming up with a Texas lawman (Michael Shannon) to get revenge on the men that destroyed his world. The third narrative shows flashbacks of Susan and Edward when they were happy together and what eventually led them to divorce. This segment is heartbreaking and creates the thematic weight for everything that comes later. Tom Ford takes post-modern

marriage to Susan. Films don’t need to be populated by “happy” characters, but what makes “Nocturnal Animals” so emotionally violent is that no one seems built for something better on the horizon; there’s only despair and an eventual slide into a lonely end. Ford pulls layered and nuanced work out of his actors while showing a narrative skill that’s remarkable for a sophomore effort. There’s a lot happening in “Nocturnal Animals” that will take several viewings to really understand and process. One thing I do know is

DECK THE HALLS WITH BOOZE AND COCAINE

"Office Christmas Party" brings the laughs Writing reviews of comedies is always a fickle mistress, because it basically comes down to describing very relative crap that makes you laugh. Another interesting aspect to think about is whether to hold comedies to the same standard as other movies in more serious genres. If a comedy succeeds in making you laugh then hasn’t it achieved its primary purpose, or should it also be an objectively “good” movie? “Office Christmas Party” might not be objectively good, but it made me laugh. On the one hand, the characters are all thinly drawn excuses to bring a bunch of great comedic actors together but, on the other hand, this has Kate McKinnon and Rob Corddry dance battling each other... so which is more important in the long run? T.J. Miller (“Silicon Valley”) plays friendly goofball Clay, the branch manager of a struggling I.T. company that needs an injection of capital in

order to keep from closing. His sister Carol (Jennifer Aniston) is the nasty and cruel CEO of the company who can’t stand Clay, relishing the thought of firing him and all of his friends. His Chief Technical Officer, Josh (Jason Bateman), and the head of tech, Tracey (Olivia Munn), attempt to bring in financial giant Walter Davis (Courtney B. Vance), only to be rejected instantly. But they have one more chance to woo Walter to the firm—at the company’s Christmas Party that Clay is determined to make the greatest party in the history of booze. That’s basically it. There are some stakes because we care about Clay, Josh and Tracey and don’t want them to lose their jobs to Carol and her awful greed, but really it’s all just an excuse to watch a bunch of adults act like crazy people. The movie is called “Office Christmas Party” and follows the “Snakes on a Plane” school of film titles by telling you EXACTLY what to expect. Here’s where the bonafides come in: I love a good fart joke and watching drunk people doing stupid things, and

that the film pinned me to my seat for two straight hours and would not let me look away. Even when the film is bouncing between deeply distressing, uncomfortably bleak and emotionally exhausting, it always remains an unforgettable work of art. SW

that’s primarily all that’s going on here. You don’t really care about the characters because of the writing, you care because it’s Bateman, Munn, Miller, McKinnon, Corddry, Vance, Jillian Bell, Vanessa Bayer, Randall Park, Sam Richardson, Matt Walsh, Karan Soni and about a dozen more brilliant comedic actors playing the parts. This bench is deep and the film knows exactly when to use them. If the humor you’re after is high brow, then search elsewhere, but if

you’re just looking to shut your brain off and watch some funny people improvise some ridiculousness, then this is perfect. Just switch that brain to autopilot and let the fart jokes flow through you. SW

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

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.

the director's chair for the first time since 2006's excellent “Apocalypto.” “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

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 LITTLE SISTER: This was my personal favorite movie at BendFilm this year and it's nice to see it drawing more national attention. In fact, it was just listed as the best film of the year by the New Yorker. The lovely film tells the

story of a young nun who has avoided all contact with her family for quite some time. She returns home to Asheville, NC, before her official vows, just to make sure that being a nun is the life for her. Picture “Garden State” meets “Young Adult.” 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. MISS SLOANE: From the director of “Shakespeare in Love” and those “Marigold Hotel” movies comes a political thriller starring Jessica Chastain and Mark Strong. Chastain plays Sloane, a tough lobbyist in Washington, D.C., who is faced with crossing every line in order to win against the gun lobby. While the film has mixed reviews, Chastain and the supporting cast featuring Strong, John Lithgow, Alison Pill, Michael Stuhlbarg and Sam Waterston is strong enough to earn those ticket dollars. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema NOCTURNAL ANIMALS: This one is hard to explain in just a few sentences, so let it suffice that “Nocturnal Animals” is a meta-fictional look at relationships, heartbreak and loss and how those things guide our lives whether we want them to or not. Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhall, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Isla Fisher give heart-rending and powerful performances in a film that won't be for everyone, but is completely unforgettable.

(AND TITLE!) sell exactly what you're going to get from this movie: a big, dumb, fun comedy filled with actors you love to watch goofing around. There are even stakes to the plot, so the audience wants the party to go well and for everyone not to get too coked out and insane. At this point, I would watch T.J. Miller, Jason Bateman and Olivia Munn read a phone book, but luckily in this they're hysterical. See full review on page 35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

Oregon’s lone wolf By Brian Jennings 37

Elgin, who lives near Medford, has just published a book about Oregon’s most famous wolf, OR-7, the wolf that traveled from Northeast to Southwest Oregon into Northern California then back to Oregon in search of a mate. Supported by numerous pictures and illustrations, she tells the story of his 4,000 mile journey before meeting his mate, who also journeyed from a neighboring pack in Northeast Oregon before meeting OR-7 in Southern Oregon. It took three years for the radio collared wolf—appropriately named "Journey"—to meet his mate.

Together they formed what is now called the Rogue pack, named after the upper Rogue River region where they wander. While the book is written for middle school-age readers, it’s an educational book that can be read by anyone of any age. It follows the early reintroduction of wolves into Oregon and discusses the many challenges that are faced by wildlife experts, ranchers and others in seeking a natural balance that wolves bring to the ecosystem.

Why coyotes like it in town (Hint: There are cats there) By Jim Anderson a couple of years they were removed from not only Oregon, but the West. The coyote was hit the same way. Their numbers dropped in the late ‘40s and ‘50s, but as a consequence, mule deer were overrunning Central Oregon. Cougar numbers were also at their lowest, and with concurrent lack of wolves, mule deer populations went sky high. That situation prompted the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (the Oregon Game Commission in those days) to open a doe season. There were so many mule deer in the deer winter ranges around the south end of the Deschutes National Forest and into the Bureau of Land Management lands, that browse lines—the horizontal skirts of pickedoff vegetation—in the pines, junipers and bitterbrush were all too distinct along Highway 31. At about the same time the coyotes of Central Oregon and all over the West said, “Enough is enough.” Instead of being territorial and family animals like their cousins the wolf, coyotes became polygamists with one male running with up to three females. Instead of one couple generating two to three pups, they began developing heteroicous family units of three to four females with up to eight pups, and within 20 years coyotes had begun to spread across North America. It was the same story for Arizona; trappers and coyote shooters there generated more coyotes that slowly spread to the suburbs of Los Angeles, north to Sacramento, from there to Medford and the Oregon Coast, then the suburbs of Portland, where they

also eat cats. Now there are coyote/ domestic dog and wolf hybrids running around in Maine and southeast Canada that will, in not too short a time, prove to be a real nuisance in the agricultural and metropolitan communities, where livestock and domestic cats will be favored targets. So, if you want your cat to be safe, bring it into the house and keep it there. Of course, it won’t like it; cats are genetically engineered to kill things and that’s why they like being out of doors. But that old adage, “He who lives by the sword dies by the sword,” will catch up with them in time. In the more than 60 years I’ve lived in Central Oregon I have had only ONE person say to me, “Oh, I love my cats too much to ever let them go outside.” Of course, there are many

other cat-keepers who also feel that way, but by and large, most people allow their cats to run loose. In the census of 2012 there were 162,277 people living in Deschutes County. If half of those people kept a cat (no one, in my opinion, “owns” a cat) that would mean there were over 81,000 cats in Deschutes County. Now, here it is four years later; no wonder the coyotes are here…they’re classical opportunists. The bottom line is, if you want your cats to live longer and enjoy them, keep them inside. They’ll get used to it in about a month; the cat food and cat litter people will love you, and so will millions of birds and other native wildlife. Still, I doubt if the coyotes and their hybrids will head back out to the deserts and forests. SW

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 50 / December 15, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

recent television report about coyotes living in Bend surprised some people. It shouldn’t, since there are coyotes living all over North America today, eating mule deer fawns, chickens and cats—thanks to the actions of the government trappers that started killing coyotes over 100 years ago. They thought they could kill coyotes as easily as they did wolves, but the coyote has outfoxed them. History has shown that killing coyotes indiscriminately only generates more coyotes, a fact discovered by U.S.Fish & Wildlife biologists in the ‘60s. Back then I was investigating stomach contents in coyotes brought to the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, looking for evidence coyotes were impacting the survival of antelope kids. I never did find an antelope kid, but instead found hundreds of mice, gophers, ground squirrels and rabbits, and once, a sage grouse. On another table next to me a USFW wildlife biologist was inspecting the ovaries of females, and was surprised to see up to eight ovarian scars on many of the females, which meant coyote populations were rebounding with a vengeance. The relentless destruction of coyotes in Texas only generated more coyotes that eventually spread to Missouri, and from there to Ohio and Chicago. Missouri put a stop to it in 1958. Back then they didn’t realize coyotes are a breed of animal with instincts far different than wolves. Wolves are territorial family animals and couldn’t adjust to the methods used by trappers to kill them. Within

Tiny Homes for Retirement

on wheels. A tiny home can be built with RV certification, which adds to the cost, but it enables placement on recreational lots in areas requiring that certification. There are lots of recreational use lots available just south of Sunriver. The catch is that you cannot occupy the home for more than 30 days in a 60-day period. A call to Deschutes County Planning indicated that land use permits are available to stay for six months in a calendar year. The cost is $350 for the first year and $110 for additional years. I thought this presented an interesting scenario that people might want to further explore. There are many models of tiny homes with more square footage than the originals and with wall bed units instead of sleeping lofts, which make them more attractive. The affordability of tiny homes enables people to have two and enjoy migrating south for the winter, while still complying with land use laws.

iny home living is often considered to be an alternative housing option for younger people—but in actuality, between 30 and 40 percent of tiny home dwellers are age 50 or older. The biggest appeal is cost. According to TheTinyLife.com, the average price to build your own tiny home is $23,000, or have someone build it for you at $45,000. Compared to the U.S. median price of at least $300,000 for a traditional home, which also requires a mortgage, the debt-free option is appealing.This week, a client nearing retirement approached me with the prospect of moving into a tiny home on an inexpensive recreational lot in Three Rivers South for the summers, and then spending winters in Texas. The client hoped to rent out their tiny home to skiers while they are gone. The main challenge: Zoning. Zoning laws have not been revised in many areas to classify tiny homes. The closest zoning would be by treating them as RVs because they are

ADVICE GODDESS Present Tense

Women are really cuckoo when it comes to gifts. If my lady didn’t get me a present on my birthday, I wouldn’t really care. But if I didn’t buy her something for hers or if I chose badly, brace yourself! Don’t get me wrong; I love my girlfriend. I just wish I understood how to avoid the minefield here. —Lost In Santa’s Wonderland Unfortunately, you can’t just tell her that your relationship was “a gift from God.” So was the plague of locusts. Gift-getting generally is a bigger deal to women than it is to men (like, if you miss the mark on her birthday, you might have to call in the U.N. peace negotiators). To understand why, consider that our emotions aren’t just feelings; they’re motivational mechanisms that evolved to guard our survival and help us pass on our genes. For example, you feel jealousy when you sense a threat to your relationship—like that your girlfriend’s compleeeetely platonic male BFF really has her back…because that’s the best position for a reach-around to her front. Of course, both men and women feel jealous and are deeply hurt by both sexual infidelity (“Did you have sex with him/ her?!”) and emotional infidelity (“Do you love him/her?!”). However, evolutionary psychologist David Buss finds that men and women differ in which type they find more distressing. Because men experience “paternity uncertainty” (“Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe”), they’re more distressed by sexual infidelity, which could chump them into raising a kid who’ll pass on some other dude’s genes. There’s no such thing as “maternity uncertainty” because babies are delivered not by storks but by obstetricians—who coach screaming, profanity-spewing mothers-to-be to push a bowling ball-sized human out a very small opening. Accordingly, Buss finds that women are more distressed by the prospect that a man might be emotionally elsewhere, leading him to divert his investment in their children into diamond-encrusted loot for that hussy he’s been stepping out with. In light of this, it makes sense that a woman puts more weight on a male partner’s displays of love and commitment—which is ultimately what gifts to your girlfriend are. Maybe understanding that can help you convert gift-giving from a perilous chore to a way to tell your girlfriend that you love her, that you don’t take her for granted, and that it means something to give her a little burst of happy. Unfortunately, this may not make your shopping any easier on Official Girlfriend Holidays (Christmas, Valentine’s Day, your anniversary, and her birthday). What might is asking for advice from women close to her—her mom, her sister, her BFF. As a

bonus, they’re likely to gab about what a loving, thoughtful boo you are. As a secondary bonus, if some gift is a bust, they’re also handy targets for blame. However, there’s a way to minimize the effects of any big-gift fails, and it’s with semi-frequent little gifts—like picking up her favorite overpriced smoothie or that special cheese she raves about. Doing this tells her something very important: that you love her enough to pay attention—uh, to more than the game scores from a hidden earpiece while she’s telling you about all the intrigue at Book Club.

Poor Your Heart Out I’m a struggling musician (singer-songwriter), so let’s just say I’m not swimming in cash. I adore my girl, but I don’t have money to spend on her like her previous rich ex (who’d buy her expensive jewelry and designer handbags), so I feel weird buying her anything at all. What can I get her that shows my love without breaking the bank? —Underfunded It probably hasn’t escaped her that you sometimes prepare for dates by visiting the Coinstar machine. Money—even just a little bit of money— actually can buy happiness, but it helps to know what to spend it on. Research by psychologist Thomas Gilovich finds that money spent on experiences tends to make people happier than money spent on material stuff. That’s because we quickly acclimate to the new things in our lives and they stop giving us the same happiness bump they did at first. But an “experiential gift”—like writing a song for your girlfriend and singing it to her in a romantic location—is what we might call “reusable happiness.” Experiences are a renewable resource because we re-enjoy them as we reflect on them and talk about them. They also become part of a shared relationship history, and that’s very bonding. Who knew? It seems there’s an upside to not having a bunch of money to spend: your girlfriend looking back fondly on a day with you in a way she never could with all those romantic afternoons she spent with her Ford Fiesta-priced Prada purse.

ASTROLOGY SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Physicist Ste-

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): During these last few weeks, you may have sometimes felt like smashing holes in the wall with your head, or dragging precious keepsakes into the middle of the street and setting them on fire, or delivering boxes full of garbage to people who don’t appreciate you as much as they should. I hope you abstained from doing things like that. Now here are some prescriptions to help you graduate from unproductive impulses: Make or find a symbol of one of your mental blocks, and bash it to pieces with a hammer; clean and polish precious keepsakes, and perform rituals to reinvigorate your love for them; take as many trips to the dump as necessary to remove the congestion, dross, and rot from your environment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Singer-songwriter Tom Waits has a distinctive voice. One fan described it this way: “Like how you’d sound if you drank a quart of bourbon, smoked a pack of cigarettes and swallowed a pack of razor blades. Late at night. After not sleeping for three days.” Luckily, Waits doesn’t have to actually do any of those self-destructive things to achieve his unique tone. In fact, he’s wealthy from selling his music, and has three kids with a woman to whom he’s been married for 36 years. I foresee a similar potential for you in the coming weeks and months. You may be able to capitalize on your harmless weirdness . . . to earn rewards by expressing your charming eccentricities . . . to be both strange and popular. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Was punk rock born on June 4, 1976? A fledgling band known as the Sex Pistols played that night for a crowd of 40 people at a small venue in Manchester, England. Among the audience members was Morrissey, who got so inspired that he started his own band, The Smiths. Also in attendance was a rowdy guy who would soon launch the band Joy Division, despite the fact that he had never played an instrument. The men who would later form the Buzzcocks also saw the performance by Johnny Rotten and his crew. According to music critic David Nolan, these future pioneers came away from the June 4 show with the conclusion, “You don’t have to be a virtuoso or a musical genius to be in a band; anyone can do it.” I see parallels between this seminal event and your life in the coming weeks. ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how,” said dancer Agnes De Mille. “We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” As true as her words might be for most of us much of the time, I suspect they don’t apply to you right now. This is one of those rare moments when feeling total certainty is justified. Your vision is extra clear and farseeing. Your good humor and expansive spirit will ensure that you stay humble. As you take leap after leap, you’ll be surrounded by light. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange,” wrote author Carson McCullers. Are you ready to give that adage a twist, Taurus? In the coming weeks, I think you should search for foreign and strange qualities in your familiar world. Such a quest may initially feel odd, but will ultimately be healthy and interesting. It will also be good preparation for the next chapter of your life, when you will saunter out into unknown territory and find ways to feel at home there.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If you don’t use your own imagination, somebody else is going to use it for you,” said writer Ronald Sukenick. That’s always true, but it will be especially important for you to keep in mind in 2017. You Geminis will have an unparalleled power to enlarge, refine, and tap into your imagination. You’ll be blessed with the motivation and ingenuity to make it work for you in new ways, which could enable you to accomplish marvelous feats of creativity and self-transformation. Now here’s a warning: If you DON’T use your willower to take advantage of these potentials, your imagination will be subject to atrophy and colonization.

CANCER (June 21July 22): Why are Australian sand wasps so skilled at finding their way back home after being out all day? Here’s their trick: When they first leave the nest each morning, they fly backwards, imprinting on their memory banks the sights they will look for when they return later. Furthermore, their exiting flight path is a slow and systematic zigzag pattern that orients them from multiple directions. I recommend that you draw inspiration from the sand wasps in 2017, Cancerian. One of your important tasks will be to keep finding your way back to your spiritual home, over and over again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Vault 21, a restaurant in Dunedin, New Zealand, serves sautéed locusts. For $5, patrons receive a plate of five. The menu refers to the dish not as “Oily Sizzling Grasshoppers,” but rather as “Sky Prawns.” Satisfied customers know exactly what they’re eating, and some say the taste does indeed resemble prawns. I bring this to your attention, Leo, because it illustrates a talent you will have in abundance during 2017: re-branding. You’ll know how to maximize the attractiveness and desirability of things by presenting them in the best possible light.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The literal translation of the German word Kummerspeck is “grief bacon.” It refers to the weight gained by people who, while wallowing in self-pity, eat an excess of comfort food. I know more than a few Virgos who have been flirting with this development lately, although the trigger seems to be self-doubt as much as selfpity. In any case, here’s the good news: The trend is about to flip. A flow of agreeable adventures is due to begin soon. You’ll be prodded by fun challenges and provocative stimuli that will boost your confidence and discourage. Kummerspeck.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable,” wrote journalist Brenda Ueland. Pause for a moment and fully take in that fact, Libra. It’s breathtaking and daunting. What a huge responsibility it is to be absolutely unique. In fact, it’s so monumental that you may still be shy about living up to it. But how about if you make 2017 the year you finally come into your own as the awesomely unprecedented creature that you are? I dare you to more fully acknowledge and express your singular destiny. Start today!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “To dream . . . to dream has been the business of my life,” wrote author Edgar Allan Poe. I don’t expect you to match his devotion to dreams in 2017, Scorpio, but I do hope you will become more deeply engaged with your waking fantasies and the stories that unfold as you lie sleeping. Why? Because your usual approaches to gathering useful information won’t be sufficient. To be successful, both in the spiritual and worldly senses, you’ll need extra access to perspectives that come from beyond your rational mind. Here’s a good motto for you in 2017: “I am a lavish and practical dreamer.”
