CHASING THE DREAM

> LAYING THE FOUNDATION While “development” can be a dirty word in some circles, the impact of development depends largely on who is driving it. One of the most significant contributors to Bend’s growth—Brooks Resources—is hoping to grow with the City. In NEWS, we talk to incoming Brooks president Kirk Schueler about what developers have in common with town founders and what the future holds for a large scale master developer after all the big lots are taken.

Making affordable housing a reality

FREE

> STEP BY STEP Though the City has seen an increase in the number of apartment and other affordable housing developments, these projects do not reach completion by the mere waving of a magic wand. From conception to completion, these projects can take up to five years to hit the market. In FEATURE, we look at one such housing project, exploring the process behind bringing much-needed relief to an impossibly tight rental market.

> LITTLE TUBA BOY There’s something about the holidays that makes us want to cling to tradition. But that’s not to say it has to be the same old traditions we’re used to. In SOUND, we chat with Quarterflash’s Marv Ross about how the Trail Band went from commemorating the Oregon Trail to introducing fans to a diverse assortment of historic holiday sounds—and his own history as a schoolteacher in Bend.

> MOVIN’ ON UP From humble beginnings as a shiny metallic food truck, westside fusion eatery Spork has come a long way. Fans of the popular restaurant have become accustomed to long counter lines and lurking like vultures near the tables of nearly-finished patron. In CHOW, we get the backstory on the Spork’s recent expansion and why that’s a boon not only for foodies, but also design nerds.

> SKATE THIS WAY Winter is a time for classic cold weather activities like cross country skiing and ice skating. But what about their love-child: skate skiing? The emerging sport may not be for amateurs, but it’s gaining a following locally. In OUTSIDE, we explore the perks and pitfalls of the increasingly popular winter sport.

Neither the Source, nor the environmental groups who are concerned about warming trends seem to draw a connection between global warming and the increasing number of humans. More people will mean more cars and homes using various fossil fuels. What is the point of raising fuel efficiency standards from 20 mpg to 30 mpg if you are going to have twice as many cars in the future?

Even though we are increasing energy efficiency, millions of refugees and immigrants will significantly add to our carbon footprint. In other words, our projected U.S. population of 350 million 2050 will use more resources than the present 300 plus million.

Consider that the U.S. has 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants, over 100,000 in Oregon alone. Since 9/11, the U.S. has taken over 750,000 refugees with many more to come. When the Statue of Liberty was built in 1886, we had a U.S. population of about 55 million. Most of our future population increase will be due to immigration. We want to be compassionate, but we cannot take in all the needy people of the world. If the projected impacts of global warming come true, our children will regret the size of the population we have now. Making people aware of the threat of both excessive human population growth and global warming is a huge task, and I am not optimistic we will react in time.

OREGON CLIMATE BILL OFFERS HOPE As I write this, the U.N. Conference on Climate Change is wrapping up in Paris. The big question on my mind is whether some concrete action will finally be taken to reduce greenhouse gasses or will we punt this issue again to the next generation. If we don’t make much progress this time, will it be too late to avoid some tipping point for projected temperature increases, with the associated ocean rise, mass droughts, wildfires and fresh water shortages? Fortunately, Oregonians don’t have to wait for the rest of the world: we will have the option in 2016 to do something about man made global warming locally. There is the healthy climate bill that gives Oregon the opportunity to act on climate and avoid climate catastrophe.

It will put a cap on carbon pollution while generating income for rural and urban communities. I believe we have a moral obligation to our children and grandchildren to pass on a livable planet. Please support this bill by writing your representatives in Salem. Let’s have Oregon lead the world in transitioning to a 21st century clean energy economy!

IN RESPONSE TO “SLIPPER: PAY TOGETHER” (12/10)

As a motorist who drives the Bend Parkway daily I have an observation that may be of some benefit to fellow motorists. There are two lanes going each way on the Parkway, one lane (the one on the right) is generally referred to as the slow lane and the one on the left I referred to as the passing lane. It is my observation that the vast majority of motorists crowd the slow lane and generally avoid the fast lane.

No doubt, the “C.O. Crusaders of Taxophobia” will soon flood your inbox with their diatribes, in response to the 12/10 Slipper (page 6). I will keep this short, so they have more room to rant: WELL SAID!

I would suggest that we swap lanes. What would happen if most motorists stayed in the fast lane and only entered the slow lane just prior to exiting the Parkway? The result, I suspect, would be a measured increase in safety because motorists could enter and exit the parkway without the immanent fear of being hit.

SUNSET PARK IS FOR THE BIRDS

Currently the fast lane is more or less empty. The next time you are on the Parkway ask yourself if you intend to exit in Bend. If not, then there is no reason for you to be in the utility lane (slow lane).

Simply drive in the thru lane (fast lane) where you

find hardly any cars. Also if you are southbound and driving by the Lafayette and Hawthorne exits give the poor motorists trying to enter traffic a break. Change lanes to the thru lane and allow us to enter traffic. It’s very difficult to enter the Parkway from a dead stop, perpendicular to the flow of traffic. With this small change we can all share the roads and enjoy a little more safety. It’s worth a try.

Bend Parks and Recreation Department has been pursuing big, ambitious goals lately, but some of us would like to see more emphasis on preserving more natural park settings. Not everyone wants an expanse of green grass that requires lots of water, chemicals and maintenance, which is dotted with playground equipment that can’t be used much of the year and which drives away most of the native species of birds and animals.

Sunset View Park is a small oasis huddled between Newport Hills and Northwest Crossing.

Enjoying what's looking to be a great winter! Photo by Alli Miles. Follow her on Instagram @allimmmiles.

It’s thick with large ponderosas and in the past has been a resting spot for migratory birds from Central America on their journeys north and south as well as being home to a number of local bird and animal species. It's home for quail, flickers, several species of nuthatches, titmice, pine siskin, stellar jays, two types of woodpeckers and both Cooper hawks and sharp-shinned hawks. Migratory birds have included grosbeaks, lazuli bunting, Western tangiers and two species of hummingbirds that use the area in summers to raise their young. Three species of squirrels also consider this area home and many if not most of these birds and animals will never return if Bend Parks and Recreation Department develops the park as they plan to do.

Not only do the park’s small size and many large ponderosas make it a poor area to grow grass, but doing so will drive away many of the native species that make this area their home. Restoring the native habitat would not only encourage native birds and other animals to stay, but would reduce the amount of water, chemicals and maintenance required, which one would think is a good thing.

Many of us would like to see Sunset View Park become a “bird park,” where native and migrating species find a resting place so they continue to come to Bend. It could possibly be a perfect partnership for the High Desert Museum to build areas of natural habitat for the native species so community groups could experience them up close and local. If this sounds like something you’d like to support, please contact Bend Parks and Recreation Department at 541-389-7275 and tell them to make Sunset View Park Bend’s first, “bird park.” Don’t let them destroy this wildlife oasis in Bend.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Ron—We agree that not every park needs to be a big patch of thirsty grass, manicured to the nines. In this climate, “natural” spaces make more sense than “green” spaces. For that bit of insight, enjoy a cup of coffee on us at Palate. You can take it to go and enjoy it while you watch the birds.

No Dam Deal

By Source Staff

ometimes, compromise is a good and necessary thing. But an outcome that leaves all but a few parties dissatisfied does not an effective compromise make. Rep. Greg Walden’s draft legislation purporting to approve the contentious Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement is a prime example of a false compromise. Under the guise of getting things done before that agreement expires at the end of the year, Walden’s bill removes many of the hard fought wins for a variety of parties involved who crafted the original agreement.

The Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement, originally signed in 2010, sought to create a process for the removal of four failing dams; to strike a balance between the needs of irrigators and wildlife; to resolve differences between the Tribes, irrigators, and the U.S. government over how much water is needed for fish in the basin; and ensure the Tribes have access to sustainable natural resources.

That agreement is set to expire at the end of the year.

At the crux of the conflict is how to stretch an over-committed water supply to meet the needs of tribes (who are the senior water rights holders), fish, and farmers. In 2001, when drought forced water managers to shut off the supply to irrigators, farmers lost some $40 million in revenues.

Given the number of blows the bill contains to the parties involved in those lengthy and difficult negotiations, it’s unclear if Walden is actually serious about passing the thing.

First off, it does not include any provision for the removal of dams. Second, it calls for the Klamath River tribes to relinquish senior water rights. And finally, it would authorize the transfer of 100,000 acres each of federal forest lands to Klamath County in Oregon and to Siskyou County in California to be logged by timber companies.

So while there are plenty of parties who stand to lose something with the bill, there are a few

with something to gain. Those who would gain are the private timber companies and agricultural interests.

In a letter to the Oregonian, Liz Hamilton, executive director of the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association expressed “severe disappointment” with Walden’s refusal to include the key component of dam removal.

“Mr. Walden’s bill fails to honor local stakeholders’ agreement to remove four aging dams on the Klamath River to make way for salmon recovery. In doing so, Mr. Walden has doomed any sort of certainty for the health of fisheries in the river and the sportfishing industry that relies on their healthy populations.”

Hamilton also points out that despite efforts by some to characterize the bill as a compromise, business interests seem to be the only ones not shortchanged by the proposal.

“The proposed transfer of U.S. Forest Service lands away from public hands to timber development is nothing short of a land grab for the benefit of private corporations at the expense of Oregon sportsmen and women.

Public lands belong to all of us and should not be given away.”

And tribal leaders are likewise balking at the idea that they should give up their senior water rights in exchange for 100,000 acres of land that, to be fair, is a small portion of what they are already entitled to.

Craig Tucker, Karuk tribe spokesman, told OPB’s EarthFix that dam removal was the tribe’s “bargained-for benefit,” adding in no uncertain terms: “If there’s no dam deal, then there’s no damn deal.”

If Walden wants to move the agreement forward, he should stick to the deal stakeholders brokered. Otherwise, he’s hijacking the process for benefit of special interests and revealing a startling ignorance about the issues at hand. Or, better yet, rework the agreement to honor first and foremost the treaty rights of the Tribes.

Kirk Schueler looks to the future of Brooks Resources

SIDE NOTES

By Corinne Boyer

By Erin Rook 7

Since then, the company has played a pivotal role in Bend’s development, moving away from timber as that industry slowed, and focusing instead on real estate as Brooks Resources—specifically master planning large communities like Awbrey Butte and Northwest Crossing. But as Bend recovers from the recession and continues to grow at an accelerated pace, Brooks Resources' role in the community at large is both expanding and adapting.

A

nother big step was taken toward raising Oregon’s minimum wage by the Raise the Wage Coalition last week. The group—which includes an extensive list of human rights, workers’ rights, and social justice nonprofits—attained three certified ballot titles from the state’s Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum. The ballot initiatives received more than 4,000 signatures, meeting the certi-

Heralding that change will be Kirk Schueler, a development and financial professional who recently announced his plans to return to the helm of Brooks Resources—where he previously worked for 17 years—in May 2016.

Schueler started his career with Brooks Resources in 1993 as the company’s controller, later going on to become chief financial officer, and then president, working alongside Chairman and CEO Mike Hollern.

“I am delighted that Kirk is willing to accept this challenge as he already has a deep understanding of our company and its culture and values. He has the skills, knowledge and contacts necessary to succeed,” Hollern said in a statement. “In addition, Kirk has the respect of our employees, partners and community leaders and I believe we will all be proud of what we accomplish in the future under his leadership.”

For Schueler, it’s the homecoming he’s been waiting for. When he left Brooks in 2010, at the depth of the recession, it was for the good of the company, he explains.

“Mike and I talked and I said, ‘Look, there’s really no room for a president and a CEO as two different people here,” he recalls. “A, there’s not really the work, and B, the company doesn’t need to be paying both of us.”

He had an opportunity to serve as chief administrative officer for St. Charles Health Care System and took it. After that job came to a close, he checked back in with Hollern.

But the time still wasn’t right. So he branched out, starting a real estate consulting company and serving as an interim CFO for Mosaic Medical. And while he enjoyed the work, it wasn’t the same.

“I had a lot of fun doing that. But I think the disappointment of being a consultant is that you’re never really there when the project goes up,” Schueler explains. “You give all this advice, all these thoughts. But they never really call you at the ribbon cutting.”

“Brooks has such an influence on the community and to be part of that,” Schueler says over lunch on—go figure—Brooks Street, “is part of the attraction for me.”

fication requirement.

For Schueler, development isn’t just transactional. Rather, it plays a critical role in the community. He points out that developers weren’t always called by that name. “[There was] a developer back in the ’20s or ’30s that developed Coral Gables, Florida, and they made a statute of him, there was a statue of the developer,” Schueler says. “Well, he wasn’t called a developer, he was the town founder. And so I love the concept. It’s such a much longer vision of what you are than a developer, and so I’ve always thought Brooks embodied that so well.”

He’s quick to clarify that he’s not claiming founder status for Brooks, but rather that he hopes to have that kind of role in the community, to see the vision for Brooks’ work through that lens.

“As long as that perspective is there you’re hopefully doing things that have long-lasting value positive impact,” Schueler explains.

What that impact looks like, however, is shifting. Even with the pending expansion of the City’s urban growth boundary, fewer large plots of land will be available for development in the future. And while Schueler doesn’t see Brooks making another industry shift anytime soon, he acknowledges that their specific projects and services will likely change.

“What Brooks honed its skills on are these big master-planned communities and those are hard to do, they’re expensive to do, there’s a lot of risk in them,” he says. “But more importantly for Bend in particular, they’re going to be harder to do from a land perspective.

Where do you go find an Awbrey Butte, or 480 acres for Northwest Crossing?”

Instead, he says, Brooks may take on more infill and vertical development, and offer more

for-fee development services to a broader geographic area. Schueler says Brooks will also continue to assist developers of affordable housing where it makes sense, like by selling land to developers at a discounted rate.

“There’s no silver bullet. I wish there was,” he says of the current housing crisis. “I sit on the residential technical advisory committee for the UGB so we’ve had discussions about this and it’s such a complicated problem.”

While he says he has faith in the potential for the right incentives to motivate increased development of affordable housing, he recognizes that it’s not a simple equation and things don’t always turn out as anticipated.

When Brooks developed Northwest Crossing, it intentionally created some smaller, less expensive lots in the hopes that it would help create a diversity of housing costs. But thanks to the development’s popularity, those hopes were quickly dashed.

“Where the rub always comes in is, we live in a free market society,” he says. “So when we create a housing opportunity but it’s market rate, there’s nothing to guarantee it’s going to stay low [cost].”

And though Schueler says that Northwest Crossing was developed without incentives—“We just accepted a lower cost because philosophically, we believed that we needed to do it,” he explains—he believes that there’s an economic answer to the problem.

“I think that if the right incentives are there, you will see product built,” he says. “But what does that mean, how does that look? I’m not quite sure what that incentive has to be. Is it density bonuses, is it reduced parking requirements? Is that enough to flip the switch? I just don’t know.”

Andrea Miller, Executive Director for Causa, says the coalition is still doing research on the initiatives to see which one will move forward. IP 57 would allow local governments to create a minimum wage higher than the state’s minimum wage. IP 58 would raise Oregon’s minimum wage to $13.50 by 2018, and IP 59 would allow incremental increases in the minimum wage ultimately reaching $13.50 by 2019.

Miller says the coalition’s main goal is to engage the Oregon Legislature during the upcoming short session in 2016.

“We believe that it is their responsibility to pass a minimum wage raise,” she says. So if the Legislature does pass a bill to raise the minimum wage, a ballot initiative won’t be necessary.”

The group is advocating for $13.50 because Miller says that’s the figure necessary for workers to remain self-sufficient without having to rely on government benefits.

“We’ve used $13.50 as a gauge so it’s not going to cover everything,” she says. This amount is what a single mother with one child would need to earn in order to be self-sufficient.

Factors like family size and where people live also affect the amount needed to afford the cost of living.

If a bill fails to pass, Miller says the coalition has until July to collect signatures needed for the November ballot.

“Our priority is the Legislature,” she says, “but if that doesn’t happen, then we’ll go to the ballot.”

ity Council recently took another step toward addressing Bend’s affordable housing crisis when it approved the sale of City land to a local affordable housing developer. But despite the high demand for such units, this action is unlikely to bring relief to a nearly impenetrable rental market for at least a couple more years.

At the Dec. 2 Bend City Council meeting, the council voted and approved the sale of a five-acre parcel of land on Butler Market Road to Pacific Crest Affordable Housing, a Bend-based affordable housing developer. Pacific Crest’s proposed project for the area includes 64 units and it’s the builder’s first development that will be available to anyone at or below 60 percent of the area’s median income.

every year since we opened!

Pacific Crest’s John Gilbert and Rob Roy have passed a significant checkpoint, but many steps remain in what is typically a five-year process to get from conception to completion.

“So the steps are to find a site, to design the project, to negotiate the acquisition of the site, and then to get the funding for the site,” says Gilbert. “And then to finish the design, construct the site and then move everybody in. It’s a long process.”

For Pacific Crest’s proposed project— Canal Commons—the next step is securing funding. There’s always the risk of

not getting funding during the initial phase of submitting their housing project application for state or federal funding, but Roy says they’ve only been turned down twice on their first try, and were still awarded funding on their second attempt.

For Canal Commons, the anticipated timeline looks like this: apply for funding in the spring or summer of 2016, begin design and predevelopment by fall of 2016—allowing construction to start in early 2017; and finally, the units would be move-in ready by 2017, according to Gilbert.

The proposed layout for Canal Commons incorporates play areas, a living street—designated for both pedestrians and cars, a community center, a garden, and a proposed pedestrian walkway over the canal, which would connect residents with running trails, places to walk their pets, and Pine Nursery Park.

“We allow pets in our buildings—and all of our buildings are [for] senior[s] so far—but it really brightens the lives of a lot of our residents and overall it makes people happier to be able to have their

pets with them,” Gilbert says.

Despite the extensive, arduous process, Gilbert says that the City is doing what it can to help get projects off the ground.

“Before the great recession there were concerns for having affordable housing, and then during the recession everybody was focused on economic growth and other issues, and now that the economy is coming back and in-migration is picking up, the housing crisis has gotten worse,” he says. “The City Council is definitely looking at ways it can mitigate that, and one of the ways is to find excess parcels

of land—like this five acres on Butler Market Road—and make those excess parcels of land available for affordable housing.”

Roy agrees that appeal of living in Bend drives in-migration and the community needs to continue to have the discussion of how to move forward with regard to the affordable housing problem. He says the steps already taken by the City help.

“What Bend did to make this project happen, their SDC [systems development charge] waivers, and things like that that makes it possible when we go to the

state for funding. The likelihood of getting funded is much higher if we can say, ‘Hey, the local community has already invested 10 percent of the total development cost in this,’” he says.

“They look at that and think that helps.”

pre-tax income for a single-person is $24,960.

“In Bend, [housing prices have] gone up so much faster than incomes have gone up,” says Wilson. “Incomes just aren’t going up at the same rate.”

Roy adds that market rate housing is difficult to afford for people just coming out of high school and college.

“The combination for say, [Millenials], is so many people have large student loans, and in addition, the cost of housing goes way beyond what the incomes are,” he says.

“In Bend, [housing prices have] gone up so much faster than incomes have gone up.

Incomes just aren’t going up at the same rate.” -Rima Wilson

Rima Wilson—Pacific Crest’s funding manager and the former City of Bend Affordable Housing Manager—says those tools are important because incomes have not kept pace with housing costs, and inclusionary zoning is illegal in Oregon. Wilson adds that Oregon House Bill 2564—which would end the ban on inclusionary zoning—was introduced during the last regular Legislative session and passed in the House, but was still in the Senate when the session ended.

Wilson created a report based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics data to illustrate the income levels relative to occupations that fall below the median income in Bend. According to that report, a wide range of workers, in fields ranging from social services and education to healthcare and finance—including pharmacy technicians, nursing assistants, veterinary technicians, construction laborers, bank tellers, and recreation workers—“have annual wages at or below the current HUD income limit for affordable housing projects.”

The income guide for a four-person household limits their gross income to around $35,000 per year. From there, the income limit decreases: for a three-person household it’s $32,000 per year; a two-person household would be roughly $28,500; and the maximum

Between the project completion time and demand for more affordable housing units in Bend, Pacific Crest Housing plans to pursue more projects and continue chipping away at the larger housing demand problem. Roy says the company currently has new sites in La Pine and Prineville, and a few in Sisters, and is looking for more sites here in Bend.

“With this project, we’ll be at 175 units,” Roy says. “So it’s cumulative, it takes time, but if we do nothing, we’re going to have a catastrophe.”

In the past, Roy says their plans for affordable housing have at times been met with resistance; however, two of Pacific Crest’s completed projects, Discovery Park Lodge and Mountain Laurel Lodge, have been confused for actual vacation lodges.

“It’s amazing the number of people who show up during the week asking if they can have a room for the night,” says Roy. Both Gilbert and Roy have an extensive background in development and founded Pacific Crest more than a decade ago. Roy says that while some developers are looked at negatively, he and Gilbert are trying to have positive impact.

“We just came to the conclusion that we wanted to do things that were good for the community at large,” he says. “Then people can say what they want but at least we can sleep at night—knowing what we are doing is good and there’s a huge community benefit.”

shows for years with his absolutely pitch-perfect whistling. And while she wouldn’t say for sure, Sharlet suggested he might do the same for Madame Officer.

“I’ve been singing ever since I could talk,” Sharlet says. “I used to stand on bar stools at five or six and sing along to Shania Twain songs into my karaoke machine—I started doing musical theater as a way to continue singing. The biggest support of my singing was my voice teacher, Eileen Heaton, who I started studying with at 14.”

Sharlet’s voice has only gotten better with time, as she is able to flit effortlessly between a soft and dreamy harmony to powerful and yearning explosions of lyricism. Madame Officer is alternative pop in a way that no one really makes anymore. There’s no hipster cred that is being strived for, just old fashioned, heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics combined with powerhouse vocals and an incredibly solid band.

“No way! He’ll steal the show!” she jokes.

“Just kidding. My dad is super supportive, he will definitely be there and may make a special appearance.”

first met Corinne Sharlet more than a decade ago when we were both cast in CTC’s production of Brigadoon. She easily surpassed the material and was one of the breakout stars of the show, seeming destined to be front and center from then on.

Sharlet headed to the Santa Fe University of Art and Design where she studied voice while also getting her degree in musical theater.

After eventually making her way to Portland, Sharlet hit a turning point.

“I was feeling uninspired auditioning for theater stuff, so I took a break from performing for a while,” she says. “I think I was burnt out and questioning my drive to do theater.

I wondered whether or not I actually liked it or had just continued doing it because I had been doing it for so long. When I took some time off, the one thing that I missed was the music. Since I was a kid, I loved to

Sharlet describes their sound as “hi-fi, guitar, torch pop.”

“I don’t think anyone actually gets that except me,” Sharlet says. “I say the ‘hi-fi guitar’ part because our songs are very guitar driven, Aaron [Tollefson of Kaddisfly] definitely plays with an early The Edge, U2 sound. I say the ‘torch pop’ part because my vocals definitely have a pop structure and I am really inspired by old torch/jazz singers like Billie Holiday and Nina Simone.”

Music is also in Sharlet’s genes. Her dad, Ed “The Whistler” Sharlet, has livened up local

With those heat lamps at The Lot, it won’t just be their sweet sound keeping y’all warm at night. 6 pm. Monday, Dec. 21. The Lot, 745 NW Columbia St. No cover.

Madame Officer has only played about 14 shows around Portland (although they did play the White Eagle and that place is legendary), but their sound is assured. They don’t sound like a rookie band in the least.

“It is like getting a glimpse inside our practices in the basement,” Sharlet says of the band’s live shows. “No two shows are alike.”

If they can play that loosely together already, then this should be a band we’ll be hearing from for a long time to come. Discover them at Silver Moon before anyone else does.

Your Bend, OR Born & Raised Broker!

The Trail Band has been together for nearly 25 years and will play at the Tower Theatre for the first time on 12/19.

G

rowing up, Christmas celebrations in the Rook household were fairly traditional with one notable exception. On Christmas morning, we knew it was time to get up and see what Santa brought when we heard the Trail Band’s holiday tunes emanating from Dad’s sound system (then a Pioneer six-disk CD changer).

Unlike conventional holiday tunes sung by choirs of prepubescent boys or Mannheim Steamroller, the Trail Band’s seasonal songs had a distinctly Oregon vibe, harkening back to pioneer day and incorporating other historic traditions not typically part of the standard Christmas fare.

But we were well-primed by the time Christmas morning arrived, since it was our family tradition to see the band perform live at the McMinnville Community Center each December.

The shows were a band nerd’s heaven. A group of clearly talented musicians playing an assortment of instruments usually given short shift—really, how often do you see someone play the reed contrabass?—gave hope to a certain adolescent trombonists whose rock star dreams were as short-lived as the re-emergence of ska.

The band’s success has been as impressive as it is improbable. When Marv Ross—of the popular ’80s band Quarterflash—got a gig back in 1991 organizing a show commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail, he had no idea he was about to embark on a quarter century-long journey through a host of cultures and musical styles.

At the request of the State of Oregon, the self-described history buff created a musical theater piece based on six real diaries from the Oregon Trail and pulled together a diverse group of talented musicians to pull it off.

“The band was just selected as a band for this performance piece, they were like a pit band,” he explains.

Funded by the state, the band tour through

the summer. Despite the narrow focus of the performance, Ross says audiences were eating it up.

“The band was getting an amazing reception,” he recalls. “I thought maybe this can be a real band.”

The band stood out in a crowd, a hodgepdge group of hotshot musicians playing music from another era.

“That’s what was unique about the band right from the beginning,” Ross explains.

“You just don’t see a bluegrass band playing with a tuba, trombone, and cornet.”

So they tried their luck, taking their evolving show on the road beyond the anniversary celebrations. In the beginning, they stuck closely to the original concept, performing old tunes in period costumes. But over time, the band branched out, experimenting with different styles and instrumentations. Before long, they added a holiday show to their repertoire.

Today, every member of the touring group was on the stage for that first performance.

Even the sound engineer and lighting designer have remained the same over the nearly 25 years the band’s been in existence. Only one original member, Lex Browning, is no longer with the band.

“Every once in a while pinch ourselves,” Ross says. Not only is the band still together, it continues to sell out shows. “It’s incredibly lucky and we’re very fortunate.”

The band also gets to stay true to its roots, even in holiday shows, playing a mix of recognizable classics, unfamiliar relics, and original numbers. Finding the balance of these elements, however, sometimes keeps Ross up at night.

“If I have a gift, I have a pretty good sense of what the audience is feeling when I’m up there on stage,” Ross explains. “I’m an empath for the audience.”

That means that after each of the first few shows on a tour, Ross makes tweaks to the

lineup until he strikes that perfect chord that he believes will resonate with listeners. Fortunately, the band now has some 70 holiday songs in its catalog, from Mexican numbers to Klezmer tunes.

“People who come to the holiday show are coming there for the Christmas vibe, so we try to make that balance,” he says. “We do the same venues every year. So I have to change the show otherwise people wouldn’t come back.”

This year marks the group’s first performance in Bend. But it’s not the first visit for Ross. Before he and his wife Rindy started Quarterflash, the young couple spent three years teaching in Central Oregon. Marv taught at English at Cascade Junior High in Bend and Rindy taught fifth grade at John Tuck Elementary in Redmond.

“We lived in that tiny house that’s a museum in Hollinshead Park,” Ross recalls. “We put an ad in the Bulletin, two teachers looking for a rental place. We got a letter from Dean and Lily Hollinshead.”

On the weekends, the young couple would play gigs at Inn at the Seventh Mountain, the Elks Club, and other local venues. After about four years, they moved to Portland and tried (and succeeded) at making it in the music businesses.

Though Bend has changed since the musical couple made it their home in the 1970s, Ross says he’s looking forward to returning.

“That’s very special for us to play in the Tower,” he says. “When we lived in Bend it was totally depressed. The Tower Theatre was showing porno movies when I was there.

There’s sort a poetic circle quality to coming back there and playing.”

ART WATCH

By Corinne Boyer

27

By Jared Rasic

“There’s been a huge shift in the art world [where] 49 percent of sales happen at art fairs, she says. “It’s almost like a trade show of art.”

In Bend, she runs the Jenny Green Gallery, which features contemporary fine art paintings. When she’s looking for art she says, “I have to love it, and I have to live with it every single day. In my mind, quality original artwork is someone either pushing the envelope or advancing their current approach in any way.”

submitted

Green recently went to Miami and set up her gallery as part of Aqua Art Miami. She says the entire town was filled with vibrant art. The show “took over the Aqua Hotel and they clear our every room and turn it into a gallery. Next door there was art from Germany, Brooklyn, and the Netherlands,” she says.

In an earlier life, Bend actor John Kish spread the word of theater in Ecuador.

J

ohn Kish is one of those actors who, the moment you see him on stage, fills you with all different kinds of emotions. He makes any production he is a part of better due to his complete immersion into the role, regardless of size. It is easy to tell his dedication to craft as he comes so prepared he just oozes charisma and confidence as he moves across the stage. So, if you’re an actor, another of those emotions is jealousy. If you are both auditioning for the same role, you had better bring your A-game, because Kish certainly will and he will take that role with both hands.

But Kish hasn’t always had this sort of recognition.

“So how long have I been a crazy person?”

Kish says. “My whole life. A moth to a flame some say. I was always told I couldn’t sing, couldn’t dance, and couldn’t act.”

And so, in college, Kish made acting a side hobby to his horticulture degree. But after graduation, he ignored the naysayers and applied to multiple conservatories. He was accepted to all of them.

“I chose to attend New York’s Circle in the Square theater school—the only school out of a Broadway theater,” he recalls. “Got every drop of information I could the two years of school there and busted into the theater scene booking an agent, an off-Broadway children’s show, and a spot in Town Hall’s Broadway Rising Stars.”

He says he learned a lot about himself that summer. And while he no longer doubted his acting abilities, his heart pulled him in a different direction. He took a break from the theater and worked four jobs.

“The winter of 2013, I applied for Dramatic Adventures ACTion Ecuador. A theatrical traveling experience. It changed my life,” he says. “Because of that trip I left New York, I started my own company, and I’m as happy as a clam. Having that realization, that Broadway is not the end goal or the most meaningful precipice, was huge.”

He eventually moved to Bend to be near his sister and get on his feet financially. After landing jobs at Looney Bean and Art and Wine Oh My!, he got cast in Glass Menagerie his first week in town.

As someone who is constantly moving and always thinking, plotting, and planning, there is no way Kish would be satisfied just auditioning for shows and working as an itinerant community theater performer. In the short time he has lived in Bend, Kish has launched his own theatrical company, Topsoil Theatrics, which puts on the incredibly successful Cocktail Cabaret at 10 Below. With some of the finest vocal talents in Bend like Lilli Ann Linford-Foreman, Karen Sipes, Kimmie Neff, and many more, the idea of a cabaret in an upscale restaurant is something that hasn’t been attempted in Bend in quite some time.

“In Bend, I’ve just started doing these down-

town cocktail cabarets,” he explains. “[It’s] a way to bring theater into Bend city life and grow the Bend nightlife while building a cohesive theatrical community that works together to a common goal, high level theatrical performance.”

It’s that development and growth that drives Kish and his theater company.

“Topsoil is the most rich in nutrients and organisms in the soil ‘horizon.’ Soil is life! So basically it’s ‘life theater,’ completely grounded and connected to being real, genuine and responsible,” Kish says. “It also incorporates my love for plants and nature and giving back.”

But Kish doesn’t just want to make good theater or entertain a room, he wants to help make the world a better place.

“My main goal right now is to venture back to the small village in Ecuador I worked with in 2014,” he says. “Therapeutic theater is highly effective in exploring pent up emotions and issues. Suicide and alcoholism is rampant in impoverished communities. Showing children they have a choice and a voice is life-changing for them and for me.”

Green leases her gallery space from month to month and recently found out that she’ll continue occupying the space until April. Her gallery is filled with imaginative colors from artist KC Lockrem and her brother and photographer Brown Cannon, III from Bend, as well as local artists ALXSw from Redmond and Whitney Nye from Portland. She also carries work from artists Jennifer Hirshfield and Carlos Perez of Northern California.

She says the gallery provides additional alternative art that isn’t mainstream in Bend.

Her love of creative work is deeply evident.

A few years ago Green’s husband called and said they needed to evacuate their home due to the proximity of a fire, and she told him to grab the art. While the fire never made to the couple’s house, Green said the art was the first thing that came to mind.

Green’s gallery will hold extra hours during the upcoming week before Christmas.

“One of the great things about a gallery is it functions not only as a gallery but as a museum as well, you’re allowed to come in and look around, browse,” she says. “It is artists who are on the frontline for all of us socially and emotionally, and they are really working for society as a whole interpreting the difficult and reminding us of the joy that is out in the world.”

CULTURE Notes from the Underground The Capitol is, thankfully, nothing like Salem

By Jared Rasic 29

VOLUME 19 ISSUE 51 / December 17, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

alking down the stairs on the corner of Wall Street and Oregon Avenue, the eyes are instantly drawn to the bright, classically badass vintage theater sign, beckoning you down into the unknown. Upon reaching the base of the stairs, there are so many options for different directions to go, it’s almost overwhelming. The incredibly polite hostesses led myself and my lady friend to dark and comfy booths on the kitchen side of the space, where we kicked back and relaxed.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Back in the day, Bend had a Capitol Theater just a few blocks before The Tower Theatre, where the Bank of America building lives now.

“We saw a photo on the [Vintage Bend Facebook page] of old 1940s Wall Street and saw The Capitol Theater,” explains Capitol 2.0 co-owner Sean Day. “We thought the name The Capitol was great and also liked the idea of bringing back history to our awesome, progressive little city.”

The Capitol Theater may have been shortlived—open from 1922 until 1955—but the new spot’s owners hope to keep its memory alive. And they come to the table with a wealth of service industry experience.

“I’ve been in the service industry for 20 years,” Day says. “I started bussing tables at 15 and then bartending the day I turned 21 in Portland. I’ve been in all aspects of the industry, from fine dinning to hipster dive bars. I’ve been visiting Bend my whole life and four years ago I decided that the small, outdoorsy life was for me.”

Day met his business partner Nate Edgell while bartending at Velvet Lounge and became fast friends. “Nate has lived in Bend for over 15 years and has worked at the mountain teaching snowboarding and skiing. He has also been in charge of the beverage distribution at the Les Schwab Amphitheater, so together we had a pretty good grasp of Bend,” Day explains. “Nate had known my past in the service industry and wanted to start a new venture so we started brain storming. Working in Bend for almost four years, I started to listen to people about what was lacking and what would be cool, so we went to work.”

They really did. The space is packed to the gills with just about everything you would want in an underground lounge. There are

vintage arcade games, pinball games (including The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones), a space for live music, a space for group events, a space for intimate meals, and one of the longest bars I have ever seen.

It’s somewhat maze-like without ever being overwhelming.

Once we were seated, we found out that there was a private party going down, so only the happy hour menu was available. We ordered the tacos with bahn-mi style pork and the tater nachos with Tillamook cheese and all kinds of goodies. Both were pretty perfect for

a late-night menu as they would be decadent and comfort food-y enough to satisfy the hungry and drunk Bendite.

Speaking of drinks, we tried a few of the infusions also, with the Buena Cocktail (pear and ginger vodka infusion with Bucha Buena kombucha) being the highlight.

With tons of live music events and DJ parties coming up, The Capitol is definitely angling to be the place to be. And if the full menu— featuring non-GMO, local, and organic products—is half as good as the dimly lit and homey atmosphere, then they will definitely

be on to something.

In short: “We have good food, sweet vintage video games and pinball, cool shows coming, and a fun environment for everyone everyday,” Day says. “Expect the music to be slightly louder than most places, old school movies playing on the TVs, and people having a great time.”

Breaking Barriers

Spork expands, adds new designs

By Russ Axon 31 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 51 / December 17, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Spork sprouts a fresh, modernistic look provided by local designers and builders. Photos courtesy of Erica Reilly.

S

ince firing up the engines of a converted Airstream food truck in 2009, Spork has been breaking culinary barriers in Bend. The restaurant’s unique blend of global dishes and eco-conscious methods led to the establishment of a brick and mortar location in 2013. With the addition of classic cocktails and local flair, Spork quickly became a Bend staple. That success recently allowed co-owners Erica Reilly and Jeff Hunt to break another barrier: the wall next door.

Spork recently expanded into the adjacent building, which has allowed the restaurant to add more tables, a more open dining space, and new architecture and artwork. Returning patrons will quickly notice new seating options, including a stylish side bar table and three booths carved into the far wall like tiny, comfortable caves. The new space is accented by a “cloud fan,” an installation of iron wood beams that accentuate the acoustics and lighting.

“I would say we spent about four months designing it. There were a couple things that

came pretty quickly in the design, and the cloud fan was the last thing to come about,” says Reilly, who is also the general manager. “It just kept evolving. Originally, we thought it was going to be done sooner, but once we got in there we were happy to extend the project so that we were really happy with it.”

Reilly says the main goal of the expansion is to alleviate the confinement patrons often experienced during Spork’s busier hours.

“When we were in full swing and during our peak meal period and season, we started to feel like Spork was a festive environment but it was kind of a chaotic environment as well because it got so tight,” Reilly says. “We all agreed that the guest experience was suffering a bit because of that.”

The previous tenant, Woof Neighborhood Dog Wash and Grooming, vacated in July for a new location. Acquiring the space was a no-brainer.

“Everything is more spread out, and the line now forms along the north wall instead of

winding throughout the entire restaurant,” Reilly says. “The feedback that we’ve gotten, as well as my own experience in there, is that it’s a much more peaceful experience, even when it’s busy.”

Along with the roomier dining area, the new space also allotted Spork a much needed extra storage room and office. Reilly also saw another opportunity with the new space.

“We were really excited to take another crack at the design of the space,” she says. “We definitely were excited to bring a more elevated style and design to the space while still retaining an organic feel—using materials like metal and wood throughout. We wanted it to be really cool but still feel approachable, like it could exist in any country anywhere.”

Since it worked so well when they opened, Spork once again employed local designers and builders to help realize the new space.

Reilly credits designer Piper Lucas and architect Gary Holbrook for their stellar work on the original concept, and “the incredible” contractor Chris Vaetch of Basalt Holdings

who completed the construction in five days.

Also, Matt Korish, former owner of Pakit Liquidators, and Billy Burks fabricated a new divider out of recycled materials.

“All of this stuff is cool because when people walk into the space, at first they’re like, ‘Wow, this is really cool,’ and then they always ask, ‘Is this local?’ Reilly says. “That feels good to us because we love to offer something that makes people feel like they’re not in Bend, but super proud to have done all of this in Bend.”

So far, Reilly says customer feedback has been positive, and Spork plans to use the larger space for a handful of special events throughout the year. And in case patrons still can’t get enough Spork, the team is already hard at work on their next project: Reilly says they are currently refurbishing the original Airstream, with plans to have it roaming the streets of Bend again around early February.

Foodies and design gurus can relish in both by visiting Spork at 937 NW Newport Ave., 11 am-9 pm on Sunday through Thursdays, and 11 am-10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

een wondering where The Abyss is?

Wonder no more—Deschutes’ annual imperial stout release is set to take place Thursday at the Bond Street taproom, around a month later than usual. The barrels run on their own schedule, after all.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of The Abyss in bottles, a yearly release that’s become a regular Thursday-afternoon fall tradition for Bend’s diehard beer fans. This time around, it’s a heavy stout accented with flavors of blackstrap molasses, vanilla beans, cherry bark, and brewer’s licorice from Italy. It’s not 100 percent barrel aged, but rather a blend of several different barrels, with 11 percent of your bottle aged in regular oak barrels, 11 percent in Pinot Noir oak, and six percent in oak bourbon barrels, all for six or so months.

This results, as Deschutes puts it, is a beer “as profound, infinite, and unfathomable as its name suggests.”

have to wait a little longer for it. Borrowing a page from other big-name imperial stout releases like Goose Island’s Bourbon County Barrel Stout and AleSmith’s Speedway Stout, Deschutes is planning to release two special Abyss editions that should leave barrel-heads salivating. Unlike regular Abyss, each variant is 100-percent barrel aged— one in Cognac barrels, one in rye whiskey barrels, both for over a year. It’s a “Remarkably Limited Release,” according to the labels, and word on the street is that only around 200 barrels of each were produced.

Our local brewing giant is taking one step further into The Abyss this year, although you’ll

Expect to find bottles at the Bend and Portland brewpubs (and nowhere else, probably) early next year. In the meantime, come on down to the pub on Thursday to grab some regular Abyss bottles, load up on some bison sliders seasoned with Abyss-seasoned steak sauce, and— this is the important part—enjoy a taster flight with samples of every Abyss release from 2011 to 2015 on tap. (Rule of thumb: Older vintages have less alcohol kick and more complex flavor profiles.) See you there.

Bend for winter endurance sports 35

By Sam Katzman

S

kiing and ice skating are two of the most beloved snowy weather sports. But a lesser-known winter activity has become just as popular in the Cascades that binds the two sports together.

Skate skiing combines the atmosphere and terrain of Nordic skiing with the motions and fitness required for long-distance, and at times uphill, skating.

Anthropologists say the Sami people of the Arctic Sea region were “running on skis” as early as 550 CE, and Johan Grøttumsbråten was the first to use the skate skiing technique competitively in the 1931 Nordic Ski World Championship. But it wasn’t until the late1970s that skate skiing gained widespread traction in North America.

Its closest relative is classic cross country skiing, but skate skiing is its own sport. And a grueling one at that.

The arena is most often a well-manicured trail lined with snow-drooped trees and scenes fit for a nature documentary. But this is no waltz through the woods—skate skiers burn their calories to earn their views.

Unlike its tamer Nordic father, skate skiing requires trail-runner endurance and technique that takes many more than one lesson to perfect. Traditional cross country skiers push forward in a straight line, keeping their skis planted in the snow. Skate skiers, however, gain momentum by kicking in an angled V-stride and shifting their body weight from ski to ski, like an ice skater with skinny skis for blades.

For greater maneuverability, skate skis are shorter and lighter than their traditional cross

country counterpart and the poles are longer to give the skier more driving force. Although most of the momentum comes from the leg movements and shifting of weight, poling techniques are also important and difficult to master.

Contrary to classic backcountry Nordic skiing, gentle, corduroy trails are a necessity for skate skiing. Throughout the snowy passes of the Cascades there are several world-class groomed trails perfect to skate ski, and with snow sticking around for 8-10 months on average, Bend has the longest Nordic ski season in North America.

Ski, Skate, or Skate Ski? Are you a winter sports lingo afficionado? Decide which of the following are skiing, ice skating, or skate skiing terms:

Just outside of town, Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center and Virginia Meissner regularly run a Snowcat over their greens, blues, and black diamonds to rake the trails. Mt. Bachelor also has instructors for classic and skate style skiing, as well as rentals that are waxed daily.

There are also several sno-parks near Bend with groomed trails, including the dog-friendly Wanoga Sno-park. Farther West, Hoodoo Ski Area offers cross country ski instruction and grooms its Nordic trails Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the season.

It’s highly recommended that beginners take a lesson or two before heading out on a skate ski adventure. The Bend Endurance Academy has developmental programs for juniors and adults that last from a few weeks to a whole winter. BEA also grants tuition assistance to those who qualify.

Bend is a favorite training spot for elites like the U.S. Ski Team and the home of XC Oregon, the Northwest’s top Cross Country team. But with plenty of trails for all difficulties, it’s also a great place to learn.

Answer Key Baroni (Skiing)—Flipping forward and rotating 180 degrees.

Camel Spin (Ice skating)—Spinning while the free leg is raised parallel to the ice Cherry-flip (Ice skating)—A toe-loop jump Death Spiral (Ice skating)—Much more elegant than the name suggests, this is a pair skating move in which one skater grabs the partner and spins them around like the hands on a clock.

Something Fishy This Way Comes

SCREEN

There’s not much heart in this sea

By Jared Rasic

37 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 51 / December 17, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

here is quite a bit to like with Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea, but there is also a plethora of things that lie there, flopping like a fish on the deck of a boat. Sorry about that. No more fish puns. Maybe.

First off, the film has a strange framing device that ends up giving the film more endings than Return of the King. Herman Melville (played by the always excellent Ben Whishaw), once and future author of Moby Dick, comes to visit Thomas Nickerson (the always even more excellent Brendan Gleeson) in order to hear a story about Nickerson’s youthful days aboard the whaling ship The Essex. Nickerson is the only living survivor and Melville is desperate to hear the story as he would like to base a novel on the events. Nickerson’s recounting of the events is the body of the main film starring Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy and Tom Holland.

Hemsworth is Owen Chase, a veteran whaler who is promised his own ship, but instead is forced to be first officer to George Pollard

Jr., an inexperienced captain of a proud naval family. Chase and Pollard don’t like each other, butt heads a ton, and sail after some whales for their sweet light bringing oil. If you’re remotely familiar with the tale of Moby Dick, then you know what comes next. Big whales smashing ships and men having to do terrible things to survive.

As much as Hemsworth is inarguably a leading man and has excellent presence here, his accent is all over the place, leading me to believe the character of Owen Chase is dealing with dissociative identity disorder. But whether it is Hemsworth or Benjamin Walker’s Captain, or any of the characters in-between, everyone is so underwritten that every single action comes out of plot momentum more than it does character.

After the blisteringly incredible Master and Commander, films set at sea (regardless of time period or country of origin) have a certain standard to uphold, the greatest of which is to transport the audience onto that ship and

FEATURED FILM EVENT Miracle on 34th Street This movie still stands the test of time, as it only gets lovelier with age. The story of a little girl and an old man who gives children presents and doesn’t kidnap them at all will be screening just twice this year at Old Mill 16. Show your kids there’s still some magic and wonder in the world, before the internet kills it.

make them feel the claustrophobia. Every creak of the wood and gust of wind could be felt in Master and Commander, while In the Heart of the Sea struggles to even suspend the disbelief that the actors are outside of a soundstage. The computer generated effects feel very poorly integrated into the beautiful natural scenery and the excellent set of The Essex, so that halfway through the film everything feels like a softly lit fever dream.

All of the story beats come straight from a survival film guidebook, leaving the film feeling airless and not giving the audience much investment in any of the characters. There hits a point for most filmgoers where when a poorly written film hits the 30 minute mark, they can tell you exactly where the story will end up and this one is no exception.

Everything isn’t terrible though. The film looks incredible in 3D IMAX and Anthony Dod Mantle’s cinematography is always a pleasure to look at. Ron Howard is an old pro and knows how to frame his shots for

maximum intensity and setting up some of the action pieces to be absolutely breathtaking.

The second half of the film is almost enough of a rousing adventure to make you forget the turgid and predictable first half, but it’s all too little too late.

This movie is failing heavily in the box office; I assume because people don’t really want to see whalers doing their thing anymore after Blackfish, but also probably because the trailers aren’t too great. It’s a terrible conundrum because this movie is obviously going to play better on IMAX than it will at home, but I can’t recommend people pay $18 to see it, either. Maybe it’s best if we all forget this ever happened and just go see Star Wars next week like everyone else.

T

here is something inherently wonderful about adding a widely celebrated holiday to a horror film. While the Friday the 13th franchise didn’t necessarily take advantage of the holiday, the Halloween films, April Fool's Day, Gremlins, and many more delightfully exploit our ingrained feelings about specific days of the year.

Adding horror to Christmas, though, is really something special. Maybe it has something to do with spoiling the image of excited and smiling children or messing with Jesus’ birthday, or just the powerful image of blood and guts sprayed across a pristine white background. Regardless of the reason, a Christmas horror move is what we as a nation needed and deserved.

Krampus has been an internet meme for years now, so explanation might be pointless, but here it goes anyway. Krampus comes from an Alpine folktale where he is basically the opposite of Santa (or Saint Nicholas). He punishes the bad girls and boys in a myriad of different ways. He sometimes puts the little brats in his satchel and spirits them away to the underworld or beats them with birch branches and leaves them awful dead things under the tree.

The film version of Krampus arrives because young Max (Emjay Anthony) has a crisis of faith. His parents are fighting, his sister is mean, and his annoying aunt, uncle, and cousins have arrived for Christmas. Every

year he writes a letter to Santa and mails it, but this year, due to all the outside pressures, he tears it up and flings it out the window.

This displeases Krampus and as a blizzard descends upon Max and his family’s home, so does the dark pagan god of bad little girls and boys.

This was directed by Michael Dougherty, the twisted mind behind Trick ‘r’ Treat, the cult classic Halloween horror anthology film that has become a part of the regular October film rotation in the Rasic household. His swooping camera and painstakingly framed style melds perfectly with his second film about a holiday made worse by creatures hungry for the screams of the innocent. His style makes every frame of the film fun, even when it’s just family members bickering over petty differences.

The performances are all a ton of fun with the always excellent Adam Scott and Toni Collette as Max’s parents, and David Koechner and the astoundingly brilliant Allison Tolman (from Season 1 of “Fargo”) as Collette’s sister and brother-in-law. Max’s parents are Blue State liberals and the in-laws are gun-toting Republicans, so while some of the fruit is fairly low hanging, it is still pretty topical and entertaining.

Watching some interesting and sympathetic characters have to deal with some of the most frightening monsters since Pan’s Labyrinth is a blast. The design of Krampus and his

minions is flawless, creating nightmare fuel for an entirely new generation of kids, which is what this film is after.

See, the film is PG-13, so as scary as the monsters are, the film is almost entirely bloodless. Not that every horror movie needs to be a gore-fest, but no matter how scary the monsters actually are, the film never becomes inherently scary itself because we don’t really know what Krampus is doing to the people he grabs. We don’t get a real sense of the danger because our imagination fills in all the blanks from what we already know about the legend of Krampus. I’m glad teens have a fun new horror flick they can actually go to, but I can’t help but wonder what the non-toothless, R-rated, gore-fest version of this movie would be.

Even with my sick mind making me somewhat disappointed overall, Krampus is still a hell of a lot of fun. It came out at the perfect time when we could collectively use a movie like this to relieve some of the daily stresses reality is starting to place in our way. If horror movies aren’t your bag at all, go see it with your kid and ruin Christmas for them forever. Better you than the internet, anyway.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic BRIDGE OF SPIES: Steven Spiel-

CREED: Advanced word on this has Creed being hailed as one of the finest films of the year and a beautiful swan song to the character of Rocky Balboa.

This film follows the son of Rocky’s greatest opponent, Apollo Creed, as Rocky trains him to become the boxer he was meant to become. While this could have been a sentimental slog, it appears the film might be a true contender. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE GOOD DINOSAUR: Pixar so rarely disappoints that just having their name on it is enough to get most people into the theater. Especially following their all-time classic, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur is coming at a time where dinosaur love is peaking.

The animated film follows the journey of a dinosaur and his companion, a cave-man boy who acts like a dog. The jury is still out with this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY- PART 2: As fans of the books know, this is part of the story where everything actually happens, so tissues should be held at the ready. This will also be Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s final screen appearance so, even if you don’t watch the movies, it will be worth seeing just to say goodbye. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

IN THE HEART OF THE SEA: Loosely based on the true story that Moby Dick is based on, In the Heart of the Sea follows the Handsome Hemsworth as his vessel is attacked by a massive whale that attacks them with a great vengeance and furious anger.

The film is pretty dead on arrival and not necessarily worth anyone’s time.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KRAMPUS: Just in case you want to destroy Christmas for your kids, Krampus will do it for good. Dark, twisted and hilarious, this Christmas Horror flick finds a bickering family under siege by the Anti-Claus, Krampus, and his demonic elves and disturbing toys.

An overall damned fun time at the movies. Check this week’s issue for a full review. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MEET THE PATELS: A documentary that follows an Indian-American man who is about to turn 30. His traditional family (extended and otherwise) take it upon themselves to arrange his marriage in ways both hilarious, frustrating and horrifying. One of the most entertaining documentaries of the year and guaranteed to make you belly laugh.

Tin Pan Theater

THE NIGHT BEFORE: Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie are wonderful in this comedy about childhood friends who might be celebrating their last Christmas together before all of their lives change forever. The Night Before shows us the holiday spirit as can only be found at the bottom of a night of true debauchery. A very fun ride. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

39

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

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ROOM: Based on the absolutely stunning novel, Room tells the story of what we must do to protect those that we love from the harshest of truths.

Brie Larson is going to explode after this movie and become the next big thing. Go into it knowing as little as possible in order to let the film take you under its wing. Tin Pan Theater

SECRET IN THEIR EYES: This is a remake of a fantastic Spanish thriller from a few years back, directed by the guy who wrote Captain Phillips and a few other great flicks. This follows a team of investigators whose lives are shattered when one of their children is murdered. If this film is half as good as the original, crime thriller lovers will have a new classic on their hands. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SPOTLIGHT: An amazing cast takes on the story of the The Boston Globe and its investigation into John Geoghan, an unfrocked priest accused of molesting more than 80 children.

This of course led to the discovery of the Catholic Church’s cover-up of sexual abuse dozens of more times across the years. Prepare to get angry, feel vindicated and get angry all over again.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS: There is nothing for me to tell you. I don’t need to sell this movie to you. You already have your ticket. The line is long. The air is cold. Lightsaber fights in the parking lot are fun but discouraged. These are not the droids you are looking for. Look for a full review in next week’s issue of the Source Weekly.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

TRUMBO: The always excellent Bryan Cranston plays Dalton Trumbo, the screenwriter behind Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Spartacus and many more.

The film follows Trumbo during the Hollywood Blacklist days and the difficulties in his life that accrued because of his alleged ties to communism. That dark era in Hollywood is a fascinating one and worthy of a dozen motion pictures. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

berg’s first film since the masterful Lincoln sees Tom Hanks as an American lawyer recruited by the CIA during the Cold War. While Spielberg’s 2000’s output has been stronger than he gets credit for, a re-teaming with Tom Hanks for a spy thriller seems like just the thing to get the critics back on his side.

One of the best films of the year so far.

ADVICE GODDESS

It’s Always Darkest After The Spawn

—Miserable Getting married is supposed to be something you do when you find the right person, not whichever person happens to be right next to you when the clock above your ovaries strikes “HolyShitWe’re30!”

Sure, there comes a point in a woman’s life when conceiving and carrying a baby to term is miraculous to the point where unicorns should be pawing at the delivery room door. But keep in mind that even good marriages get strained by the addition of children, thanks to the poo-splosions, sleep deprivation (a form of torture violating the Geneva Conventions), and mystery rashes that look just like Ebola when you Google them at 3:03 a.m.

It’s also seriously unfair to bring kids into a marriage that’s tanking. Sociologist Paul Amato calls children “the innocent victims of their parents’ inability to maintain harmonious and stable homes.” Reviewing the research on divorce’s effects on children, Amato explains that “compared with children with continuously married parents, children with divorced parents … score significantly lower on measures of academic achievement, conduct, psychological adjustment, self-concept, and social relations.”

This isn’t to say enemy combatant parents who stay together are doing right by their kids. Amato notes that some studies show that children in “high-conflict households… are worse off than children with divorced parents.”

I’m an unhappily married 30-year-old woman. I’ve been with my husband for 10 years, but we only got married seven months ago. We argue almost daily, and he spends all of his time working. Because we fight so much, the thought of him touching me has become repulsive, so we are rarely intimate. Though these problems long preceded our marriage, I felt I needed to move forward in life (marry, have kids, etc.), so I went through with the wedding. I recently got sexually involved with a co-worker, and I think I’m falling in love with him. We have all the loving passion I don’t with my husband. However, I want to have children before I’m 35. My husband can afford to raise a family, and my co-worker cannot.

I can’t go on like this much longer, and I don’t know what to do.

refuse to acknowledge our mistakes—even when they’re banging us over the head with a leftover wedding centerpiece. Our denial allows us to keep seeing ourselves as smart people who make good choices. Which keeps us mired in our bad choices.

There is a way out, and it’s gritting our teeth and admitting mistakes instead of marrying them and making little bundles of stressjoy with them. For you, admitting that you screwed up by marrying this guy—the first step in unmarrying him—would take accepting the potential cost: You might not find a suitable candidate for daddyhood in time (or ever). Yes, that would be rough—but so would the possible alternative: having an adorable pair of twins who go to Harvard—because it’s a great place to mug dazed freshmen so they can feed their staggering meth habit.

Living Repurposefully To quote the Facebook relationship status, “It’s complicated.” I went out with this man a few times and slept with him once.

It didn’t work out, and now his sexy guy friend, who’s also his boss, has asked me out. However, the boss guy used to date one of my female friends. We are all in the same social circle. What’s the protocol here? Do I need to ask permission or give anybody a heads-up about my going out with the boss guy?

—Messy Picture It can be a little touchy for all involved when everybody’s answer to “Where have you been all my life?” is “Having sex with your friend.”

But perhaps you missed the news. They passed an amendment against owning people. In, uh, 1865. So, assuming your girlfriend isn’t in a fetal position behind her couch sobbing over the boss guy, you should feel free to go out with him. But considering how often first dates end up being last dates, it’s best to avoid putting out a press release about your plans. If dating the guy does take a relationshippy turn, that’s when you give your girlfriend a little heads-up: “Hey, just wanted to let you know, I was rummaging through your trash and I found this fabulous old chair, along with your ex-boyfriend.”

Stay classy—that is, avoid any temptation to go gloaty: “They both are, like, so comfy and are really perking up the bedroom!”

Obviously, staying together “for the children” is a particularly bad idea when you and the husband you despise don’t even have the little buggers yet. So why did you make this “repulsive” guy your husband instead of your ex-boyfriend? It probably has something to do with our tendency to engage in ego-protecting “self-justification.” Psychologist Elliot Aronson finds that we are prone to AMY ALKON

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Garnets are considered less valuable than diamonds. But out in the wild, there’s an intimate connection between these two gemstones. Wherever you find garnets near the surface of the earth, you can be reasonably sure that diamonds are buried deeper down in the same location. Let’s use this relationship as a metaphor for your life, Sagittarius. I suspect you have recently chanced upon a metaphorical version of garnets, or will do so soon. Maybe you should make plans to search for the bigger treasure towards which they point the way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ready for the Cool Anger Contest? You can earn maximum points by expressing your dissatisfaction in ways that generate the most constructive transformations. Bonus points will be awarded for your ability to tactfully articulate complicated feelings, as well as for your emotionally intelligent analyses that inspire people to respond empathetically rather than defensively. What are the prizes? First prize is a breakthrough in your relationship with an ally who could be crucial to your expansion in 2016. Second prize is a liberation from one of your limiting beliefs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A fourth-century monk named Martin was a pioneer wine-maker in France. He founded the Marmoutier Abbey and planted vineyards on the surrounding land.

According to legend, Martin’s donkey had a crucial role in lifting viticulture out of its primitive state. Midway through one growing season, the beast escaped its tether and nibbled on a lot of the grapevines. All the monks freaked out, fearing that the crop was wrecked.

But ultimately the grapes grew better than they had in previous years, and the wine they produced was fabulous. Thus was born the practice of pruning, which became de rigueur for all grape-growers.

What’s your equivalent of Martin’s donkey, Aquarius?

I bet it’ll exert its influence very soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “The deepest urge in human nature is the desire to be important,” said educator John Dewey. If that’s true, Pisces, you are on the verge of having your deepest urge fulfilled more than it has in a long time. The astrological alignments suggest that you are reaching the peak of your value to other people.

You’re unusually likely to be seen and appreciated and acknowledged for who you really are.

If you have been underestimating your worth, I doubt you will be able to continue doing so.

Here’s your homework: Take a realistic inventory of the ways your life has had a positive impact on the lives of people you have known.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Neanderthals

were a different human species that co-existed with our ancestors, homo sapiens, for at least 5,000 years. But they eventually died out while our people thrived. Why? One reason, says science writer Marcus Chown, is that we alone invented sewing needles. Our newborn babies had well-made clothes to keep them warm and healthy through frigid winters. Neanderthal infants, covered with ill-fitting animal skins, had a lower survival rate. Chown suggests that although this provided us with a mere one percent survival advantage, that turned out to be significant. I think you’re ready to find and use a small yet ultimately crucial edge like that over your competitors, Aries.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Artist Robert Barry created “30 Pieces,” an installation that consisted of pieces of paper on which he had typed the following statement: “Something which is very near in place and time, but not yet known to me.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, this theme captures the spirit of the phase you’re now entering. But I think it will evolve in the coming weeks. First it’ll be, “Something which is very near in place and time, and is becoming known to me.” By mid-January it could turn into, “Something which is very near and dear, and has become known to me.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is uncanny, wild, and lawless.” Greek philosopher Plato wrote

that in his book The Republic, and I’m bringing it to your attention just in time for your Season of Awakening and Deepening Desire. The coming days will be a time when you can, if you choose, more fully tune in to the uncanny, wild, and lawless aspects of your primal yearnings. But wait a minute! I’m not suggesting you should immediately take action to gratify them. For now, just feel them and observe them. Find out what they have to teach you. Wait until the new year before you consider the possibility of expressing them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Congratulations!

You have broken all your previous records for doing boring tasks that are good for you. On behalf of the other eleven signs, I thank you for your heroic, if unexciting, campaign of self-improvement. You have not only purified your emotional resources and cleared out some breathing room for yourself, but you have also made it easier for people to help you and feel close to you. Your duty has not yet been completed, however. There are a few more details to take care of before the gods of healthy tedium will be finished with you. But start looking for signs of your big chance to make a break for freedom. They’ll arrive soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The English word “fluke” means “lucky stroke.” It was originally used in the game of billiards when a player made a good shot that he or she wasn’t even trying to accomplish. Later its definition expanded to include any fortuitous event that happens by chance rather than because of skill: good fortune generated accidentally. I suspect that you are about to be the beneficiary of what may seem to be a series of flukes, Leo. In at least one case, though, your lucky break will have been earned by the steady work you’ve done without any fanfare.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may not have to use a literal crowbar in the coming weeks, but this rough tool will serve you well as a metaphor. Wherever you go, imagine that you’ve got one with you. Why? It’s time to jimmy open glued-shut portals . . . to pry loose mental blocks . . . to coax unyielding influences to budge . . . to nudge intransigent people free of their fixations. Anything that is stuck or jammed needs to get unstuck or unjammed through the power of your willful intervention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to consort with hidden depths and unknown riches. In every way you can imagine, I urge you to go deeper down and further in. Cultivate a more conscious connection with the core resources you sometimes take for granted. This is one time when delving into the darkness can lead you to pleasure and treasure. As you explore, keep in mind this advice from author T. Harv Eker: “In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on earth, what’s under the ground creates what’s above the ground. That’s why placing your attention on the fruits you have already grown is futile.

You can’t change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. But you can change tomorrow’s fruits. To do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming weeks, the pursuit of pleasure could drain your creative powers, diminish your collaborative possibilities, and wear you out. But it’s also possible that the pursuit of pleasure will enhance your creative powers, synergize your alliances, and lead you to new opportunities. Which way will you go? It all depends on the kinds of pleasures you pursue. The dumb, numbing, mediocre type will shrink your soul. The smart, intriguing, invigorating variety will expand your mind. Got all that? Say “hell, no” to trivializing decadence so you can say “wow, yes” to uplifting bliss.

A Phone Company That

TAKE ME HOME Market Conditions

ACTUALLY Picks Up?

By Nick Nayne

According to Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, the growth that broke out in 2015 was fueled by job growth and the rising prices of homes.

Job growth translates into new households being formed, which increases demand.

Coupled with low inventory, we have higher prices fueled by that demand and supply situation. The rising prices of homes encourages existing homeowners to sell as they realize they have enough equity for a new home.

This has been the main source of the growth and is expected to continue in 2016.

only be moderate because new housing starts are not expected to keep up with the rate of creation of new households. The other challenges to growth and home ownership include the forecast of rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, and rising rents which are outpacing income growth, making it more difficult to save for a down payment.

This makes it very challenging for first time homebuyers to enter the market, particularly millennials who often have student debt that can keep them from qualifying for a loan.

Nationally, growth is expected to rise around 6 percent for 2015 and 5 percent for 2016.

The growth for Bend has been about double the national rate and we can all feel it.

Nationally, growth for 2016 is expected to

T

he Bend City Council has approved local regulations for cannabis businesses in the city. The regulations are effective immediately and are intended to supplement the Oregon Liquor Control Commission’s rules for cannabis businesses statewide.

The Council included two significant restrictions on cannabis businesses in Bend that go beyond what was recommended by the advisory committee appointed by the Council. First, Bend cannabis businesses will now have to be more than 1,000 feet away from each other. This will not affect existing medical marijuana businesses that choose to sell recreational cannabis, but will represent yet another locational rule for new recreational cannabis businesses.

This additional restriction appears to be based on the theory that, if cannabis businesses are allowed to “cluster,” bad things will happen. One advisory committee member—seemingly alone in this opinion—previously opined that cannabis businesses could create a “red light district.” Recently, City Councilor Doug Knight suggested that a cluster of cannabis businesses would somehow make it easier for children to obtain cannabis.

Ironically, alcohol businesses including Deschutes Brewery, Silver Moon Brewing, Bend Brewing Company, Dogwood Cocktail Cabin, Velvet, Cobalt, Summit Saloon, D&D Bar & Grill, JC’s Bar & Grill, The

Stihl Whiskey Bar, McMenamins Old St Francis School, Corey’s Bar & Grill, Astro Lounge, Sidelines Sports Bar, Seven Restaurant & Nightclub, White Water Taphouse, M & J Tavern and Brother Jon’s Alehouse (to name a few) have “clustered” in downtown Bend and have helped create a vibrant downtown without any discernable signs of a “red light district.”

This restriction is particularly difficult to understand because the regulations also provide that no cannabis or cannabis product can be visible from the outside of the business. But the business-to-business buffer is not the only locational restriction.

The different types of cannabis businesses are also restricted on the basis of a property’s land use classification. For example, retail stores are not allowed in residential zones and production facilities are restricted to industrial zones.

Additionally, the Council agreed to impose a 250-foot buffer for businesses around parks, as insisted upon by the Bend Parks and Recreation District. Given that alcohol sales are allowed in Bend parks, this vote seems to cement the City and Parks District policy of favoring alcohol over cannabis.

Other notable restrictions imposed by the city’s regulations include hours of operation (7 am to 10 pm), no drive through sales, and an operating license (in addition to the OLCC license).
