L
ike it or not, weed is coming to Central Oregon. In last week’s issue, Associate Editor Erin Rook wrote a far-reaching feature about how the legalization of recreational marijuana is presenting changes and challenges to Central Oregon. He wrote about the potential tax windfalls (which the City of Bend failed to capitalize on), and on the challenges for law enforcement. If the lessons in Colorado and Washington are any indication, this promises to be a major change in Central Oregon—and we are utterly fascinated by how all of this will unfold, so much so that, starting this issue, we are dedicating a new column, “Smoke Signals,” to the topic, or really, topics. To be clear, the column is not about reviewing different strains of bud (like Kevin Gifford’s Microreview section does each week in our newspaper for the local beer industry). No, instead, this is a column that will examine the banking, cultural, business, social and legal issues. It is also not a coincidence that we launch this new column in our “State of the Market” issue: What the “weed industry” might mean to Central Oregon’s economy is no small matter. It is estimated that the agriculture demands for marijuana may be as big as the demands for apples, and there will be storefronts and new business owners. And, as Colorado has already experienced, marijuana, like beer and skiing, can be part of destination tourism. We look forward to sharing with you our research, thoughts and meditations on what the legalization of recreational marijuana means to Central Oregon.

IN REPLY TO “STAYING TRUE” (3/18)
I spent well over a decade immersed in “conversion therapy.” I was a true believer. By 31, I had a girlfriend but there I was taking the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building and once I made it to the top, I planned on jumping. My truth was abominable to the Church and shameful to my parents should they ever find out. Ultimately, conversion therapy proved to be a deceptive form of soul torture, forcing me to declare war on myself, fueling my self-hatred and internalized prejudice to a psychiatric pitch. I became obsessed with my sexuality and compulsive in my efforts to eliminate it. I hope we can pass a ban on the practice before another kid jumps or steps in front of a moving train. —Bryan Christopher, Author of “Hiding from Myself”

is an urban renewal project on the banks of the Deschutes River. —Michael Funke
Speaking of Parks and Rec Director [Don] Horton, during one of his trips to the podium at Wednesday’s City Council meeting he said Parks and Rec could give the City Council some advice about “flying under the radar” on this issue. That speaks volumes about Parks and Rec and their attitude towards the public (i.e. the folks who pay Horton’s salary). Hopefully, some strong candidates for the Park and Rec board will emerge in this upcoming election, candidates who support transparency. Horton and his board have created this Mirror Pond Urban Renewal scheme and foisted it onto four City Councilors. As we saw when the dam broke last year, Mirror Pond is a mud hole. There’s a river channel surrounded by muddy rocks. No amount of dredging will change that. It is an unhealthy segment of the river. Its beauty is half an inch deep. Ask anyone who knows anything about rivers. Impeding the flow with a dam or anything else changes the health of the river for the worse. The pond is un-natural, un-healthy and nothing more than a fading picture post card. I don’t buy the claim that Pacific Power will stop bargaining if the Council doesn’t offer this so-called “vision.” BS. Pacific Power wants to get rid of the dam. So let them de-commission it and clean up the mess it leaves behind. Buehler’s $5 million would be much better spent on things that are really needed in this city—more affordable housing, sidewalks, accessibility, expanded public transit. What we don’t need
Let’s see...two eagles hurt by car, “minor amount of lead,” and next if we follow this logic we’ll be banning Chevys and Fords. Eagles and raptors in general have never been more populated around this state. Just another anti-hunting message meant to erode our Oregon Hunting heritage. —Mike

level playing field, and establishes rules stopping unfair trade. In 2013, Oregon exported $2.3 billion in raw agricultural products, as well as other value-added products. Oregon’s agricultural exports boosted farm income and supported about 17,400 jobs that can pay 20 percent more than jobs not connected to the international economy. Foreign trade is crucial for Oregon’s urban and rural businesses. Standing still on the TPP is not an option. With Oregon’s strategic Pacific Rim location the TPP is vitally necessary. For Oregon companies with products garnering international demand, Asia is essential for our growth. The TPP will grow Oregon’s economy, add family-wage jobs, and support industry throughout Oregon. —Stan Baker, President of Baker Seed Technologies

Hello Gearhead (if that’s your real name). Thank you for your brilliant reply to my very intelligent letter of March 12. I’m amazed what a man can write after ingesting two six-packs and then finding his box of crayons. Oh, by the way, I didn’t know my name was Chuck, but it works for me. In fact, you can call me Geezer Chuck since you evidently do not respect your elders or the superior intellect of someone who has attempted to guide you out of your youthful fog of social confusion. Thank you for advising us of the various types of people who should be commuting to work or shopping by bike in -15 degree weather: The very elderly (What? 40 and above?), elderly and poor (are all elderly people poor? Just askin’), children under age 16 who are headed to their downtown jobs at the local banks, alcoholics, cell phone addicts and those who have committed vehicular homicide, but didn’t go to prison. Why don’t we add wheezing asthmatics, handicapped people and the mentally ill to our list? We could fill those bikes lanes faster than you can say, I love Geezer Chuck. Those who drive large, expensive, and therefore dangerous (your words) machinery should not be negotiating Riverside Boulevard around bicyclists. The bike lane is too wide in this corridor to accommodate both dangerous machinery drivers and bicyclists. And if people really want to make bikes their primary mode of transportation, they should have a choice in the matter. Imposing mandates on commuters such as we see in our downtown “bike lanes” serves no one. The markings for bikes on Franklin Avenue and Riverside Boulevard were made as a political statement by a tiny handful of activists who decided the public cannot decide for itself how to travel about Bend. Yes, the truth is out; there is a conspiracy. The local government is trying to MAKE people ride bikes. Thank you JA Roberts (your other Opinion Letter writer), but I don’t need the government to “encourage” me to leave my car. Thank you, but I can decide for myself how I share my carbon footprint. —Geezer Chuck

THE BOOT NEWS
Pipe Dreams
For the past few years, the City of Bend has been trying to push forward a plan to replace the two pipelines that draw water from Bridge Creek and carry it 10 miles to a treatment center before entering into the pipes in town. One of the pipes was installed in the 1920s and the other in the 1950s, and the City hopes to replace those with one big pipe, essentially a 20inch diameter straw. There have even been ribbon cutting ceremonies (well, “pipe signing” ceremonies) and machinery wheeled out to the site. But for just as long, the City has been embroiled in legal battles over its Bridge Creek Pipeline Project. Environmentalists worry that the project threatens fish populations and water quality, and they have requested—and, for a time, won—an injunction to stop construction. And now, with the possibility to divert the discussion from the court system and into a more neighborly mediation process (and in the process likely saving money), the City instead seems to be bulldozing ahead. City staff and councilors have frequently lamented the additional costs incurred by the subsequent delays. And yet, the City has so far rejected a request by the appellant, Central Oregon LandWatch (COLW), to enter into mediation under the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals—and instead leaves itself open to future litigation. In December, COLW, which had sought an injunction to postpone construction, lost a federal court appeal. Rather than appeal that decision to the 9th Circuit, though, COLW Executive Director Paul Dewey says the organization submitted a proposal to the City, requesting to enter into mediation. But City Attorney Mary Winters tells the Source that what COLW is proposing is too similar to the relief sought in the lawsuit. “The Council was not going to go down the path of the kind of offer LandWatch proposed because it was sort of what they asked for in the legislation,” Winters explains. “The City Council is interested in settling if it is focused on the overall health of the river.” Specifically, she says, the City Council has talked about ways to secure funding for the piping of Tumalo Irrigation District (TID) canals, which Councilor Victor Chudowsky says will increase flows in Tumalo Creek’s lower reaches. “Basically, the approach that they’ve taken in this lawsuit to put water back into Tumalo Creek is not workable because they want to limit the City’s water rights,” Chudowsky says. “Any water the City forgoes can be used by Tumalo Irrigation District.” Chudowsky sees the TID piping project as a potential win-win-win for the District, the City and the creek, and more likely to protect the health of the creek than COLW’s proposal. “Their case was kind of laughed out of court,” Chudowsky says. “That’s not a very strong incentive for the City to be mediating under the 9th Circuit.” But COLW’s Dewey says that not only does the proposal bring up issues not mentioned in the lawsuit—such as the anticipated impact of climate change on water levels—but that the mediation process would not need to be limited to the ideas raised in the proposal. “Proposals aren’t ultimatums,” Dewey says, noting that he would be happy to discuss in mediation any alternatives that keep more water in the creek. “The beauty of mediation is you aren’t limited to what each party suggests… We aren’t asking for any injunction, any slow down of what they’re doing.” Dewey adds, “The lack of response has been deafening.” And it’s not just Central Oregon LandWatch who feels out of the loop. City Councilor Nathan Boddie, who says he can’t discuss the proposed mediation at length due to the confidential nature of the City’s legal matters, admits he’s not clear on the City’s next steps. “I confess I have not heard an update from [City Attorney Mary Winters] about what the next step is,” Boddie says. “To me it seemed like, why wouldn’t we [enter into mediation] if it’s less expensive for the City,” Boddie says. We certainly agree.

Doing the Dam Thing
A plan for Mirror Pond moves forward despite dissent
SIDE NOTES BY ERIN ROOK
BY ERIN ROOK
Gov. Kate Brown is coming to Bend Friday to celebrate last week’s signing of agreements in Deschutes and other Oregon counties to protect sage grouse habitats. The bird, which roams across the Western United States, is being considered for the endangered species list. But in the meantime, conservationists are working with landowners to conserve habitats now and potentially avoid more restrictive regulations if the species is eventually listed. U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell is expected to join Gov. Brown at the private ceremony.
THE NEWPORT DAM’S DAYS ARE NUMBERED. BUT WHAT, IF ANYTHING, WILL REPLACE IT REMAINS SUBJECT TO DEBATE. PHOTO BY ERIN ROOK.
When the Mirror Pond Ad-Hoc Committee first presented its hybrid proposal for addressing the failing Newport Avenue dam last November, the plan was well received. For a time, it seemed as if the committee had accomplished the impossible—bridging the chasm of public opinion between those who want to repair the dam and save Mirror Pond and those who want to remove the dam and let the Deschutes River run free. But like all good things, that apparent accord came to a clear end last Wednesday. Following a thumbs up from the Bend Park and Recreation District Board, City Council narrowly voted—after about three hours of public comment and debate—to support the committee’s “preferred alternative” and authorize it to conduct a feasibility study and economic analysis. The 4-3 split on Council appears to be representative of a continuing divide in the community at large. And that discontent is finding an outlet in action through two ballot measure petition efforts, led by local activist (and partner of Councilor Barb Campbell) Foster Fell. He is circulating two petitions aimed at putting Mirror Pond’s future on the May 2015 ballot—one for the Parks District and one for the City—both of which aim to protect redband trout habitat and prevent future dredging. Though the committee’s proposal includes enhancing habitat, enabling fish passage and reducing dredging frequency among its seven primary aims, some are concerned that the Parks and Rec and City Council are putting the cart before the horse. In this case, the horse is science, specifically as it pertains to the health of the river. “[The science is] not even included at all. It’s a completely unstudied option,” says City Councilor Nathan Boddie, who voted in the minority. “I don’t think there’s been any analysis of impacts. It was premature to give it an up-down vote.” Even those who support the preferred alternative say it’s more of a vision than a plan, and stress that the science will necessarily come out in further study. “Like any sort of novel manuscript, we’re gonna change a lot of chapters and edit the manuscript,” explains Jayson Bowerman, 40, one of the organizers behind the Colorado Dam Whitewater Park project. “I don’t think there’s any easy way to solve this whole problem. It may be the most complicated public process undertaken in Bend in our generation.” Bowerman, who grew up locally, says he can relate to those who want to free the river and admits he’d love to see more dams come down. But he doesn’t think that it’s politically, or
environmentally, feasible. “This notion of, ‘Let’s free the Deschutes!’ is misguided. You can’t take it back to 1910,” Bowerman says, adding that the question should be, “How do we position the river to be the best it can be for the next 100 years?” Answering that question is ostensibly part of the process. According to the committee’s draft plan, any work done in-water would have to be permitted by city, state and federal agencies. A number of regulatory agencies—including the Oregon Division of State Lands, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon Water Resources Division and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality—have indicated to the committee that its vision, as presented in the draft, would likely meet current requirements for improving water quality and habitat. But those regulations have not been sufficient to stifle skepticism. Casey Corcoran, 32, who runs the Blackjack Bioregional Info Shop and is active with the local Cascadia movement, is among those unconvinced that the public-private partnership approach will prioritize the health of the river. “It’s not about returning to some primitive ideal,” Corcoran explains, noting that he is also looking to the next century. “There could be something there that doesn’t turn it into a mudflat. We can do a creative restoration, but it needs to be a restoration.” He says that while he understands the argument for seeking private investment, he doesn’t believe the redevelopment of downtown should be linked with the dam removal. Rather, Corcoran says he believes the community should be focused solely on restoring the health of the river and the fish that call it home. “I feel both the legal moral and spiritual obligation to bring back the life of this watershed,” he says, explaining that the watershed as a whole has deeper significance than the photo opportunity that is Mirror Pond. “There are residents of our watershed whose spirituality is based on it. It’s offensive to me that a small group of investors can claim to have a majority on this. This is treaty territory.” Mel Sweet, a 35-year-old natural resources student at OSU-Cascades, agrees that the focus should be on the health of the river. “I think that water quality should be the driver in this case,” Sweet says, noting that most of the Deschutes River, including the portions that cut through Bend, is on the Clean Water Act’s “303(d)” list of impaired or threatened waters. “Not everyone understands that Mirror Pond is a pretty unhealthy spot.” Eyesore, or sight for sore eyes, Mirror Pond’s future is still very much in the balance.
While the public is not invited to attend the Governor’s local appearance, it is welcome to attend two upcoming meetings of City Council. The first, a special public hearing on vacation rentals, will include two public hearings—one pertaining the regulation of short-term rentals, the other for a proposed licensing program for the rentals. Public comment on those issues is due by 5 pm on Friday, March 27. The meeting will take place Monday, March 30 at 4 pm in City Hall. The following Wednesday, at its regularly scheduled meeting, City Council will have the first reading of the proposed vacation rental code changes. So if you have something to say about vacation rentals that you’ve not yet shared, now is the time.
Speaking of housing, it won’t be going up on the so-called Miller Tree Farm property near Shevlin Park. At least, not yet. Deschutes County Hearings Officer Karen Green last week rejected a proposal to build 50 homes in the fire-prone forestland, saying that, while the application met the technical zoning requirements, she would like to see more details about how the development would address wildfire risks and mitigate any negative impact on wildlife. Central Oregon LandWatch had opposed the development, citing wildfire concerns.

Taking The Economy’s Temperature Housing sales are warming up. Is that good? BY PHIL BUSSE. PHOTOS BY MATT FOX.
Like predicting the weather in Central Oregon during the finicky spring months, economic forecasts are tricky; sunny afternoons do not necessarily promise warm and dry evenings. Likewise, in the mid-2000s, thousands in Central Oregon were basking in a booming housing market. By 2006, construction and real estate employment was effortlessly adding jobs, and quickly had expanded to nearly 20 percent of the local job market. More generally, soaring house prices seemingly were filling up portfolios with riches. But, although commonly considered a primary economic indicator, one that measures both personal wealth as well as overall optimism, taking the economy’s temperature just by measuring housing sales and prices did not account for other, stormy forces that were gathering. With both promise and portent, over the past two years housing sales—both in terms of volume and prices—have rebounded in Central Oregon. Although not at the dizzying highs of 2006 and 2007, home prices in Bend from the fourth quarter in 2013 to December 2014 grew more than 11 percent, putting Bend in the top 10 fastest growing markets in the county. But what do those numbers mean? Is that good or bad? Is it a sign that the local economy is back on its feet? Or, is this another roller coaster ride, an exhilarating climb before another stomach churning fall? According to observers of the local economy and housing market, the answers to these questions are complicated, but ultimately promising. Over the past few weeks, there has been some hubbub that, nationwide, construction and
sales of new homes has slowed—and, indeed, in Bend, housing sales did dip last year, but ever so slightly, from 2,262 in 2013 to 2,242 in 2014; less than one percent. Standing sideby-side with sales from just two or three years ago, though, recent numbers are considerably encouraging: In 2011, only 1,684 residential homes were sold in Bend and, in 2012, only 1,980; on average, sales last year added up to a promising 20 percent bump in the current volume of housing sales, an indicator that confidence has returned to the economy, and that individuals and families have solvency again. What is most impressive about these current sales is the number that are not short sales or bank-owned transactions. From 2006 to 2008, housing prices and valuations plummeted, while unemployment doubled; a lethal combination that translated to hundreds of homeowners in the region no longer able to afford payments for their homes. In 2010, 577 sales were bank-owned homes and another 385 were short sales, a troubling indicator that more than half of housing sales that year were because homeowners could no longer afford to maintain their mortgages. But in the past two years, that trend has been curbed: By 2013, the percentage of bankowned and short sales dropped to 10 percent of sales—a more reasonable level—and, last year, to 6 percent, a strong showing that hundreds of local families have regained stability and even sustainability in their personal finances.

Case Study: OSU-Cascades expansion brings construction jobs BY ERIN ROOK
Moreover, in neighboring cities, those numbers are even more dramatic. In Redmond, housing sales have stayed relatively consistent over the past five years (726 in 2010; 766 in 2014), but the percentage of short sales or bank-owned sales has plummeted from a staggering 70 percent in 2010 to a reasonable 9 percent in 2014.
Diversifying The Work Force
But gauging the economy by housing sales and prices—and corresponding job creation—can be like measuring the durability of a car by clocking how fast it drives laps on a racetrack. “Economic development typically views construction jobs as somewhat transitory,” explains Roger Lee, the executive director for Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO). “They ebb and flow with the demand for new homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and other structures. There is a start and finish to construction projects that makes those jobs quite different from manufacturing, high technology and, increasingly, professional service jobs.” Currently, about six percent of regional jobs are in construction—3,800 out of 63,000. During the housing and building boom in the mid-2000s, that percentage was closer to 11 percent, a segment that was particularly vulnerable to economic vagaries; by 2010, construction jobs had largely vanished, and their loss contributed greatly to high unemployment numbers in the region. “One of the most interesting facts about the recovery and the growth we’re now seeing is that it is not necessarily in the sectors that fueled the boom and subsequent bust last time,” says Lee. “Construction, professionals services (real estate) and financial services (banks, mortgage lenders) have all had modest gains (except financial, which has continued to contract). In the past three years,” he continues, “manufacturing has emerged among the stronger slices of the employment pie, but have been outpaced in growth by health and educational services, professional services, and leisure and hospitality.”
Lee points out that EDCO is working with about 170 companies to relocate to the region, or to start their business here. “We are much better balanced than, say in 2007,” he offers. But so much about economic analysis is about measuring trade-offs—and, at the center of the debate is what and who economic development benefits, and who it leaves behind. No one seems to be denying that the current employment trends— although overall good for economic wherewithal in the region—will essentially trade off blue collar jobs for white collar jobs, but in the process potentially gain more work force diversity and stability.
Steady And Sane Growth
It is not just that Central Oregon’s economy seems to be growing again, but it is how it is growing. “We are at a healthy level right now,” says Andy High, vice president of government affairs for Central Oregon Builders Association. “If we can maintain 900 to 1,200 single family permits in Bend that will allow us to keep up with growth. Single families homes in Bend aren’t even half way to what we were in 2006 at roughly 2,400 single family permits,” he adds, indicating that controlled growth is a measured difference from the frenzy a decade ago. “The industry has learned from the past,” asserts High. “Builders and developers are in different positions now—they haven’t forgot what it was like when the industry went from roughly 2, 400 building permits to 147 in 2010. Builders are not over extending themselves.” Upcoming economic and housing events: On Thursday, March 26, Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) sponsors its monthly pub talk, 5–7:30 pm; keynote speaker, Dale Partridge, CEO from Sevenly. Old St Francis, $30. On Friday, April 3, Bend 2030 and the American Institute of Architects present the Housing Solution Showcase, a collection of blueprints for affordable housing solutions in Bend. 5–8 pm. St Claire Place, 920 NW Bond.
That college campuses have an economic impact on their neighboring communities is undeniable. But while that impact is most frequently measured in terms of expenditures—an increase, for example, in the quantity of coffees or school supplies purchased—the effects begin to be felt even before the first student arrives. That’s because building a college campus is no small feat—and with the anticipated expansion of the OSU-Cascades campus to accommodate a full-fledged, four-year college, that means planning and design, construction and infrastructure. “Over the next 10 years, OSU-Cascades will add an average 100,000 square feet per year to support the academic, residential, student life and research needs of the campus and its students and faculty,” says Kelly Sparks, OSU-Cascades’ associate vice president of finance and strategic planning. “On average, OSU-Cascades will be a consistent driver of about 200 construction jobs annually.” She estimates that, at any given time during a fluctuating construction process, an average of 160 people will be employed each week in construction alone (a number roughly 2.6 percent of all current construction jobs which, in turn, is roughly 6 percent of the total Central Oregon work force). And, if the college has its way, these workers will be local residents making competitive wages. “Any contractor hired by OSU is required to fully comply with the conditions identified by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, which establishes the minimum hourly rate for wages based on state prevailing wage laws and the federal Davis-Bacon Act,” Sparks explains. “A contractor is required to submit a report identifying minority, women, and emerging small businesses enterprises under contract for the project. The use of local sub-contractors will be strongly encouraged, but also dependent on their availability and qualifications.” In addition to its own college-sponsored construction, Sparks anticipates a ripple effect: The college’s presence will prompt the construction of additional multi-family and student housing in the area, creating additional construction and real estate jobs. “There is express interest on the part of private developers and potentially [Central Oregon Community College] to develop housing options for students in Bend; we are open to and interested in these partnerships,” Sparks says. “A growth in offsite multi-family housing will be a boon for students, but also for workforce housing. New multi-family housing options will be attractive for millennial recruits for our local and growing high-tech, outdoor product, healthcare, bio-sciences and beer industries. An additional benefit is that OSU-Cascades graduates will have housing options as they enter the workforce.” Andy High, vice president for governmental affairs for the Central Oregon Builders Association (COBA), also foresees a far-reaching impact from OSU-Cascades’ expansion, starting with construction of college buildings and housing for students and faculty and continuing into the surrounding community. “We will see demand for more services as the college expands,” High explains. “This will provide a great opportunity for business to grow and expand. This will also drive the business owners and investors to spend capital on remodels and redevelopment thus driving a need for family wage construction jobs.” And while the increased construction and redevelopment activity will be a boon to the local economy, City Business Advocate Carolyn Eagan says the City is less reliant on those industries than it once was—and that’s a good thing. “Prior to the 2007-2008 recession, Bend was very dependent on the construction and real estate industries,” Eagan says, noting that their share of the workforce went from 17 percent pre-Recession to about 11 percent today. “That may not seem like a huge difference, but since employment in retail and at restaurants and hotels is a smaller percent of Bend’s employment than it was prior to the recession, it means that employment is growing in tech, health care and other sectors that will make the area more resistant to drastic changes in the housing market.”

MUSIC—Hugely popular at last year’s SXSW, and even labeled the “best touring band you probably missed,” the Soft White Sixties aren’t perhaps groundbreaking— with a certain strain of Jack White and a dose of Vampire Weekend pretty boy vocals—but there is certainly something fun and addictive. 8 pm. The Annex, 51 NW Greenwood, Bend. $10.
WORDS—We all have stories. It’s both a should-be obvious statement and the theme of the upcoming Solo Speak storytelling event.

READING—Valerie Geary’s first novel provides insights to lifestyles in Central Oregon that are probably unique—that is, unless you do live in a tipi by the river. Primarily set in Terrebonne, two young sisters set out on an odd and twisted journey when, orphaned by their mother’s death, move in with their oddball dad who lives in a tipi by the river. 6 pm Friday.

McMenamains Old St. Francis, 700 NW Bond, Bend. Free.

Silent Comedy
OUTLAW COUNTRY—Fusing country musicality with the personal-meets-political storytelling of folk, Iris Dement sings songs rooted in her history as the youngest of 14 children born in Arkansas. Her old-time crooning has made a fan of the legendary Merle Haggard, who has said Dement’s voice is the best he’s ever heard. But you don’t have to take his word for it. 8 pm. The Belfry, 302 E. Main St., Sistes. $30 adv., $35 door.
MUSIC—As if every song were drawing its life’s breath from an old western town—in equal parts from the Baptist Church as well as the whiskey-soaked tavern—and with vocals that sounds more like stern chanting, and driving, mean guitars, there is nothing very funny about Silent Comedy, a fourpiece rock-and-roll band from San Diego. But there certainly is something catchy. 7 pm. McMenamins Old St. Francis, 700 NW Bond, Bend. Free.

The band’s strengths are in the use of storytelling and instrumentation to create powerful songs that capture the audience. All members of DWC lend their vocals during the show, leading to smooth happy-harmonies. 9 pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $8 adv., $12 door. $12 door.

Lost Lander is doing what they want to do
BY ANNE PICK
BY ERIK SKELTON
Tom VandenAvond & Woebegone With a raspy voice and an acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder, Tom VandenAvond tells contemporary stories of a life well lived. From his midwest roots, to Texas, to recording an album with Bend’s own Larry and His Flask boys, VandenAvond is deeply Americana. When VandenAvond sings, you listen. Blending country, folk and Americana, VandenAvond’s music has a strong stringed instrument sound that mixes perfectly with his sometimes rough, yet perfectly raspy vocals. It’s only fitting that VandenAvond plays this show with Woebegone, the latest project from members of LAHF. 9 pm. Thu, Mar 26. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr. $5.
LOST LANDED DOESN’T PLAN TO COLOR WITHIN THE LINES; 3/28. PHOTO BY BRENDAN COUGHLIN
Marrying a vibrant pop sound full of sparkling synths, and celebratory harmonies with emotional thought-provoking songwriting, Lost Lander songs can feel a lot like having a life-altering realization while driving down a sunny coastline on a beautiful summer day. “You can make a decision to dress your child in whatever clothes you want to,” says Matt Sheehy (vocals/guitar) as he looks up from an improvised mezcal and cynar cocktail he dubs, “The Idiot Savant.” “When we were deciding how to dress up these songs, we gravitated toward high energy sounds because the lyrical content in a lot of the songs could have moved things in a pretty dark and sad direction. I wanted to create a juxtaposition of sad lyrics with upbeat, happy sounds.” A sense of emotional duality runs through the core of the band’s ambitious sophomore album, Medallion, and serves as a blueprint for their live performances as well. “We push the extremes of the dynamic range at our shows,” Sheehy explains. “We love having really quiet moments with intricate arrangements and harmonies next to crazy moments that almost get out of control.” When the Portland four-piece set out to bring Sheehy’s songs to life, they checked insecurities at the door to free themselves for the type of anything-goes creation process necessary to produce the euphoric sounds they achieved. Willing to put in the time to record large quantities of material that never ended up being used, they allowed themselves to step out of their own way and let the direction of the album present itself to them instead of forcing the issue. “A lot of people go in a studio and get in a headspace where they think everything they play has to be perfect,” Sheehy muses. “We take the opposite approach and tell ourselves: ‘What you’re play-
ing right now probably doesn’t matter. It’s probably not going to get used. Just do whatever you’re feeling right now.’ That way we get to follow the thought all the way through before our editor brain comes in.” He adds, “Hopefully, when we go back and listen, we’ll notice a magic little moment and then collect a bunch of those.” Those magic little moments piled up and started to take the shape of dramatic pop music inspired by the epic gaited drum sounds of ‘80s pop stars like Phil Collins—as well as other influences they may not have previously given into. “This is the first time in my life that I don’t really care if other people don’t like the things that I like,” drummer Patrick Hughes reveals. “I’m not embarrassed to admit that I like (Swedish recording artist) Robyn. Whatever. I think that we’re all sort of at that same point, where maybe in our twenties, we wouldn’t have been so carefree. ” That mentality opened them up to doing things they always secretly wanted to do—things like dueling guitar solos (or “guitarmonies” as Sheehy calls them) and the aforementioned 80s drums aesthetic. Once again, they stopped editing themselves and were greeted with rewarding results. “We’re at the point where we’re still young enough to have the energy necessary to play this stuff,” Hughes concludes. “But we’re old enough to say, ‘This sounds awesome to me,’ and just do it without worrying about what people will think.” Lost Lander 9 pm. Sat., March 28 Astro Lounge, 147 NW Minnesota $5
In Defense of Birthdays BY JOSH GROSS
SCAN THE QR CODE
A friend of mine recently went on an anti-birthday rant, condemning no shortage of people he considered complicit in the greeting-card-industrial-complex. I told him while I certainly agreed that Hallmark’s corporate office is located in some circle of hell that Dante curiously omitted, holidays are times to celebrate certain emotions or concepts that are key to human existence, but are easily lost in the day-to-day, and that birthdays are times to celebrate the people we know and love, to acknowledge that our world is a better place with them in it. We agreed to disagree. But following that line of thought, this mixtape celebrates artists born this week, including everyone from Aretha Franklin and Elton John to Kenny Chesney and M.C. Hammer.
New Kingston, Arise Roots & Realize Brooklyn-based Reggae band New Kingston takes its name by blending its Jamaican roots with the progressive music scene in NYC home. The band combines traditional reggae music with modern R&B influences, creating a fresh sound that revitalizes the reggae sound as a whole. New Kingston is made up of brothers Country Jr., Stephen and Tahir Panton, who’ve all played together since their childhood. New Kingston has opened for Collie Buddz, Matisyahu, SOJA, Rebelution and many other of the biggest names in present-day reggae. Arise Roots and Realize open. 8 pm. Sun, Mar 29. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr. $10 adv.
Polecat & Eric Tollefson Duo Odds are if you’ve been in Bend for a little while, you’ve probably been to either a Polecat or Eric Tollefson show. Both have played jam-packed shows at McMenamins over the last few years and Polecat has brought its roots music sound to Pickin’ and Paddlin’. The Bellingham, WA-based band plays roots music with a unique take that incorporates bluegrass, country, celtic rock, reggae and world music into its sound. With a fiddle, standup bass, 12-string guitar and lead electric guitar, Polecat plays nearly as many stringed instruments as will fit onstage in creating its folky-roots jams. A former Bend resident, Tollefson’s baritone voice resonates through his pop, folk and blues-inspired music. 9 pm. Fri, Mar 27. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr. $8 adv., $10 door.

NOEL YARNGO WILL BE ONE OF THE ARTISTS GIVING IT THEIR ALL AT LAVA RAPS: VOLUME, 1. PHOTO BY ALEX FIKANY.
Central Oregon music more commonly means cowboy guitars and bluegrass mandolins than mics and two turntables. But, if Jaime Scott and Anthony Anderson have their say Bend will become a springboard for hip-hop talent. Anderson, who is the CEO for M.T.C. Promotions, and Scott, who owns F5Entertainment, are consistently being asked by up-and-coming rappers for the chance to perform before the shows they host. In response and in an effort to create a podium for upand-coming talent, they have created Lava Raps: Volume 1—the first of what they hope will be monthly showcases where locals can perform, hone their skills, and develop a fan base. “We’re building a platform to give opportunities to those who want to work hard and actually really do it for themselves,” says Anderson. He adds that it is about “letting these guys earn their spot, rather than it being given.” “We’re trying to make the Domino Room and Midtown a destination, a staple in the hiphop scene,” states Anderson, “where you know artists are doing stuff if they perform there.” Out of the 10-plus artists performing this weekend, there will be a fan-chosen “winner”—and along with that title a block of studio time and an opening slot for rapper Rittz when he performs this May at the Domino Room. But Anderson is hesitant to label Lava Raps a battle of the bands. The ultimate goals of the showcase are much larger, such as getting new-to-performing artists time in front of an audience. “You can rehearse all you can in your room but to be in front of a live audience is definitely way different,” acknowledges Anderson. Lava Raps 7:30 pm, Sat., March 28 Domino Room $10

Party like it is the 13th century with gruits, the hops of yesteryear. For some, alcohol is the simple and standard can of beer or glass of wine, but others take fermented beverages to a whole new level. Well, it is actually an old level. Saison (a kind of spiced pale-ale) dates back to 19th century Belgium, while the unique drink made from the yeast brettanomyces (named for the Greek of “British fungus”) was officially labeled in 1904. The Portland Farmhouse and Wild Ale Festival is committed to keeping the tradition of libation-crafting alive in a world watered down with Coors and Franzia. Sat., 11 am – 9 pm. Sun., 11 am – 7 pm.

Words Buddy Wakefield The troubadour poet returns. In a testament to both his work ethic and his popularity, Buddy Wakefield has been on the road full-time since he quit his day job about 14 years ago, often performing one or twice daily.

Got Questions? Share Stories! BY TAYLOR THOMPSON
When I was eight years old, I published my first book, well, 20 pages of “published” material assembled using a confidence-boosting book-making kit called IlluStory. An aspiring author, indeed, I continued my pursuit for the big leagues, trying my hand at fiction a few years later with some lengthy, The-Baby-Sitters-Club-meetsGoosebumps narrative detailing a day in the life of a popular tween girl… A Pulitzer Prize winner, no doubt. But as I got older, my writing enthusiasm took a backseat to other endeavors, and aside from a few personal stories and writing-related job duties along the way, I had more or less lost interest. In fact, it
wasn’t until about eight months after my son was born that I actually chose “writer” as my official occupation. Call me self-centered, but I enjoy the freedom to share my own accounts on the subjects of my choice (obviously). What better way to learn how to laugh at yourself (and at others), improve where you can and (hopefully) help someone out in the process? We all need some sort of channel for self-expression, self-progression and self-reflection. And as a parent, I’d say that having kids only accentuates this need… Lucky for me, this column has allowed such a channel—to vent, to ask, to learn and to grow. And as for the topic of motherhood—well, the contents are endless. Which is why I would love nothing more than to humbly invite you, moms, dads, to join in on all the venting, asking, learning and growing. Have a mommy story to share? A comment you’ve been holding back? Questions to ask? A topic you want to read about? Go ahead, hit me with your best shot. I need all the writing practice I can get before someone comes out with the adult version of IlluStory. WhatEverMomColumn@gmail.com Fire away!

The Curry Shack brings authentic Indian food to Bend’s east side BY PHIL BUSSE
I first fell in love with curry when I was 25 years old, and living in Singapore. It wasn’t any place special—really, little more than a dining hall with bins full of chicken masala and potatoes soaked in orange curry that I would sop up with deep-fried naan bread. But that place opened up an exotic world—fiery flavors that were strangely and simultaneously soothing, like watching fireworks from close range. For three days, my buddy and I returned to the same restaurant—breakfast, lunch and dinner. After three days, I also learned what a steady and constant diet of curry can do to your lower intestine. Even so, it is no wonder that people have sailed the world to find this unique, yet basic, spice. For the past few years, Bend has had limited options for true Indian food—the slightly upscale and consistently quality Taj Palace downtown. But this past January, the aptly named Curry Shack parked next to Gear Peddler, and opened up another, more casual opportunity for experiencing authentic Indian food in Bend. The Curry Shack is a delight. The menu is limited primarily to basics—like a chicken masala with a tasty tamarind, date and banana sauce—but daily specials, like slow cooked pork in coconut curry, expand this food universe. Owned and operated by Runi Srikantaiah, who grew up in Bangalore, explained that he had been a computer engineer for 15 years before being laid off and deciding to take the opportunity for a lifestyle change. Srikantaiah is incredibly friendly, and explained that he learned to cook at the “school of mom.” When we approached the cart, he offered a trivia question. “When did India receive its independence,” he asked. “1947,” I yelled out, the year rooted in my brain from a college class decades ago.
FRIENDLY, TASTY AND AUTHENTIC—THE CURRY SHACK. PHOTO BY ERIN ROOK.
The prize was a free samosa, a dough pocket with sweetly spiced potatoes. Commonly deep-fried, the samosas at the Curry Shack instead are baked and were surprisingly delicate, with sweet potatoes giving a nice balance to the spices. We ordered two more immediately. All told, the dishes seemed to have dialed down their spiciness, perhaps to appeal to a wider American palate. The naan, usually dripping with oils, was a bit more dry, perhaps in an effort to be more healthy, and the roti wrap was more like a pita sandwich than a burrito in its construction, with a
fluffy flat bread barely surrounding the biryani-like filling of rice, Lima beans, mixed veggies, and cilantro. It was nearly impossible to eat gracefully, but tasty nonetheless.

Silver Moon’s new brewing plant in Redmond continues the local trend

SILVER MOON IS AN OLD DOG LEARNING NEW TRICKS. PHOTO BY KEVIN GIFFORD.
Following in the footsteps of places like Boneyard, 10 Barrel, Sunriver and Three Creeks, Silver Moon Brewing—which, just a couple years back, was much more known for its disco ball, pool table, and flimsy ‘50s soda-fountain stools than its beer—is the latest Central Oregon brewery to rapidly expand. According to co-owner James Watts, work has begun on a new Silver Moon production facility located in southeastern Redmond, not far from the business park Juniper Brewing calls home. The 30-barrel system they’ll install there will be used primarily to produce tons more of Silver Moon’s four core brands (Get Sum Pale Ale, Voodoo Dog ISR, Hop Nob IPA, and Snake Bite Porter) for distribution across the Northwest. “It’s become necessary in a lot of ways,” Watts told the Source, “since distribution in Washington [begun last December] has really been taking off. It’ll also support our future efforts, like more contract brewing and expanding into the northern California area— we’ll probably start in places like Chico, Sacramento and the East Bay first.” Watts said that the Redmond facility, slated for a June opening if all goes well, will be open to the public and offer a small tasting room (likely along the same lines as Boneyard’s). The Greenwood Avenue brewpub is still their flagship bar, though, and Watts promised that the relief offered by the 30-barrel system will let the brewers in Bend focus more on barrel aging (“we want to have one of the bigger barrel programs in the area”) and extra-experimental stuff. For Bend’s third oldest brewery, change is arriving at a rapid pace.

An Old Building, New Idea

Workhouse celebrates third anniversary BY KELSEY ROOK
KEEPING THE FLAMES OF CREATIVITY STOKED. PHOTO BY KAREN ELAND.
If the US Census—instead of counting things like household income and marital status— had a matrix for features such as collaboration, artistic production, and creativity, then the Ironworks Art District would be a hotspot on Bend’s city map. Constructed in 1912 to support the then-booming timber industry of turn-of-the-century Bend, the Old Ironworks is a hive of industrial buildings surrounding a small courtyard at the corner of Colorado and Scott avenues. It was the biggest ironworks in the Pacific Northwest at its peak, but after closing in the 1990s became a ghost town of rotating antique shops, storage facilities, and empty storefronts. That is, until the block began to coalesce around a singular vision as an art mecca where a combination of studio, retail, production, class, and event spaces would form an arts district unlike any other in Bend, according to Stuart Breidenstein, owner of Stuart’s of Bend in the Old Ironworks. “We called it a ‘district’—we wanted people to think of it as a place where they could find handmade, well-made, and locally-made items.” said Breidenstein. The Ironworks Arts District, which is anchored by the Sparrow Bakery, is made up of four work-retail businesses: Cindercone Clayworks, Stuart’s of Bend, the Workhouse, and Armature. Combined, the businesses represent around 40 local artists whose studios are concentrated in the arts district. Originally housing a machine shop, foundry, and industrial storage, the buildings are zoned wide industrial, meaning that work production must take place in any retail space. “For industry to return to [the Ironworks] and to see it being used for its intended purpose—production—is really a point of pride for me,” said The Workhouse owner Cari Dolyniuk. The production requirement necessitated the creation of an environment where collaboration and innovation thrive as artists interface with each other and the community. At Armature, a combination consignment/studio/event space owned by photographer Tambi Lane, the variety of art being made there defines the space itself. “Armature means the framework for a work of art. Armature is just a building, but inside we have artists at work, a gallery, photo studios, consignments, events, classes—even weddings,” said Lane.
Local band Isles used part of the building for their practice space, recording their first and second albums there. The space is host to weekly classes such as ecstatic dance, yoga, and Capoeira—a Brazilian martial arts dance rooted in examining the history of slavery. This kind of flexibility and artistic diversity is also on display at The Workhouse, where eight studio artists work individually and collectively in an airy, open space that also hosts workshops, pop-up dinners, and consignments from over 40 outside artists. “One thing that the open format fosters is the ability for artists to ask for and receive feedback,” said Dolyniuk. “[Our] artists are availing themselves of the fact that every artist here is encouraging and supportive and wants them to achieve.” The spirit of collaboration and encouragement is evident everywhere in the arts district, particularly during the Old Ironwork’s monthly Last Saturday art happenings. The brainchild of Cindercone Clayworks owner Chad Fox, Last Saturdays are an opportunity for the public to gather around local bands and brews while engaging with the latest creations from Ironworks studio artists and owners. Fox sees the regular event—which he says was inspired by his experience showing ceramics during the Alberta neighborhood’s Last Thursday art gathering in Portland—as a way to engage with local artists in a different format from other established art walks and fairs in Central Oregon. “We have a unique quality because we are so condensed,” said Fox. “The main difference is [that] these are studios where you get to meet the artist—it’s more comfortable for everyone.” Last Saturday motivates the four shop owners to continually innovate and rethink their gallery and studio spaces as well. Fox has recently renovated Cindercone’s gallery space and Breidenstein is constantly seeking to create a party vibe in his metalworking and sewing shops. The goal, says Breidenstein and the others, is to make every Last Saturday an experience that furthers the art district’s vision—to support working artists and establish Bend’s credentials as a city with great art. “We try to keep it fresh and about art,” said Breidenstein. “The handful of us gets together and we say ‘what can we do next?’” Workhouse Three-Year Anniversary 11 am, Saturday, March 28 The Workhouse, 50 SE Scott St., #6
Now in its eighth year, Art in the High Desert (AHD) has become a popular destination for art buyers, making it one of the many local organizations whose efforts are putting Bend on the art tourism map. Ranked 12th in the nation for sales by Art Fair Sourcebook, AHD is surpassing many of the area’s more well-established juried art shows, such as Portland’s Art in the Pearl—which, in turn, makes it an attractive place for local and regional artists to sell their works. The selection committee received 617 applications for 2015’s show from hopeful artists competing for just 114 booth spots, according to AHD co-founder and commercial fused glass artist Dave Fox. And, to give a peek behind the curtain at the historically secretive process of how those 114 spaces are awarded, for the second year in a row, the organization will preview its jury selection to the public for a peek behind the curtain “The intent is to show the public…what the jury sees,” said Fox. “For the artist interested in applying, it’s a great opportunity.” Every applicant submits five photographs of their work, a booth mock-up, and artist statement to Zapplication.org. The jury, which changes every year and includes at least two local or regional jurors, will use the Denver-based ZAPP application and projection technology to view the 2015 roster of hopeful artists. Current applicants are invited to attend the preview March 27 at 4 pm in Bend’s Old Mill District to see for themselves how the jury will be viewing their application images—and see them projected alongside the work of their competition. “We really believe it’s important to open up the selection process and encourage other shows to be as transparent as we are,” said Fox. The jury—and the public in attendance at Friday’s preview—will offer their critiques blindly; the only information associated with each application will be a random numerical reference. This ensures an impartial and objective jury, according to Fox. “It doesn’t matter where [the artists] come from, it doesn’t matter how many times they’ve been in the show or which awards they’ve won. All we want is for [the jury] to look at what they applied with—there’s no preferences given to anyone.” The AHD jury takes its commitment to transparency a step further by giving each applicant the opportunity to receive jury feedback for a fee of $20. After this weekend’s selection process ends, Fox and his wife—AHD Director and jewelry artist Carla Fox—will spend six weeks compiling the verbatim jury reactions to the work of 62 artists who have requested their evaluations. “We really try to walk our talk,” said Fox. “If we want people to take this application seriously and give us their best shot, we want to reward them for that.” The jury preview is open to the public and will take place March 27 from 4 – 6 pm in Bend’s Old Mill District, 330 SW Powerhouse Drive, Suite #130.

Bend isn’t the first place that comes to mind as home-base for an outrigger canoe paddle maker—after all, the high desert is a far cry from the shores of Waikiki. But those geographic differences haven’t stopped Dave Chun from setting up shop for Bend’s only outrigger canoe club, and bringing one of the country’s largest paddle makers to town. Perhaps more appropriately, Kialoa Paddles was born from a strong love for outrigger canoe racing, and Chun started the company when he lived in Oahu, Hawaii, in the early ’90s. At that time, Kialoa was producing outrigger canoe paddles and dragon boat paddles, but over the years, paddle sports have evolved and expanded; in particular, Kialoa caught some of the first waves of stand-up paddleboards. A correspondence facilitated years ago by surf legend and Bend local Gerry Lopez had Chun and Kialoa designing the first standup paddles for big wave surfer and stand-up pioneer Laird Hamilton. Those paddles helped Hamilton push out into bigger waves, and gained mainstream appeal for the then-emerging sport. Now, two-thirds of Kialoa’s business is devoted to stand-up paddleboard paddles—and, a year ago, the company relocated to Bend.
Moreover, in what seems oh-so-very-Bend, the company is also pioneering more environmentally sustainable practices in the industry, and has become the first major paddle maker to use recycled materials in its products. “The problem with making paddles—a product that goes in the water—is that it is really hard to make it recyclable,” explains Jared Lorkin, Kialoa’s product manager. His office sits just adjacent to the manufacturing facility that produces more than 25,000 paddles a year here in Bend. “Until two years ago,” he adds, “the best way to make a ‘green’ product in the paddle sport industry was to make a product that would last forever.” Part of the solution, they discovered, though, has been using recycled resin from a baby diaper manufacturer in the fabrication of the paddle blades. “We are not at the point yet where we can recycle our products,” says Lorkin, “but we are starting to use recycled materials and building a product that lasts forever.” The “paddle season” unofficially launches this Sunday, March 29, 10 am – 4 pm, with the 7th Annual Riverhouse Rendezvous Whitewater Slalom Race; the course runs from the Riverhouse Hotel to Tumalo Creek State Park.

GO HERE! Reap What You Sow BY ERIN ROOK
Never mind those recent snow flurries—spring has officially arrived. And as branches begin to bud, and birds to sing, it’s time to start thinking about gardening. Now, Central Oregon isn’t the Willamette Valley. One does not simply toss seeds over one’s shoulder and return a few weeks later to find verdant greens emerging from the effortlessly fertile soil. Fortunately, there are plenty of upcoming opportunities to turn your thumb from black to green. Spring Break Open Garden Work Days In the spirit of “try before you buy,” the Environmental Center is opening up its Learning Garden to newbies and experts alike to help get its garden beds up to snuff for the growing season. Many hands make light work, and lesson the likelihood of you royally screwing up anyone’s rutabagas. Dress for the mess. Coffee and snacks will be provided. Thursday, March 26 and Friday, March 27, 10 am - 4 pm. The Environmental Center, 16 NW Kansas Ave. Free.

OSU Master Gardeners Spring Gardening Seminar Ready to take it to the next level? A daylong seminar with 16 classes to choose, everything from saving seeds and plants for pollinators to permaculture and compositing. A number of the courses also qualify for Master Gardner recertification if you’re really serious about the whole gardening thing. Saturday, April 18 from 8 am to 4:30 pm. Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, Middle Sister Building, 3800 SW Airport Way, Redmond. All-day package with four classes plus lunch $48. Individual classes $10 in advance. Once you’ve got the hang of it, consider securing your own garden plot. If you rent, or lack the yard space for an at-home spot, a number of community gardens are accepting new members soon. Hollinshead Community Garden Open plots are available at this community garden, but they are expected to go quickly. For your best chance at securing a plot, arrive early and stake your place in line. After registration, dig in for a two-hour work party to kick off the gardening season. Bring your own tools, gloves, and weather-appropriate attire. Saturday, April 25 from 9 am to noon. Hollinshead Community Garden, 1237 Jones Rd. $25 for 10x10 plot, $35 for 10x15 plot. NW Crossing Community Garden Registration for garden beds opens May 2, but it’s never too soon to start scoping out your spot, since registration for open beds is first come, first serve. But before you can put your name in the hat, you have put in some elbow grease at the season opening work party. Saturday, May 2 at 9:30 am. Northwest Crossing Community Garden, corner of Northwest Crossing Drive and Clearwater Drive in Bend. $30, $25 for seniors.

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS OREGON TRANSFER DEGREE “If a COCC professor, Annemarie Hamlin, hadn’t written “You should write for the student newspaper!” on my first essay, I don’t know if I would be where I am now. I was at COCC to figure out what I wanted to do with my passion for writing. “COCC gave me a community where I felt like I made an impact and was valued, and not just by my professors. Student Life staff members men-
tored me professionally and personally, and other involved students gave me a community that pushed me toward excellence. “I got to figure out who I wanted to be at COCC. I’m now studying to get my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism at University of Oregon, and it’s all because of that professor’s words and the community I had at this college.”

HOURS: Mon - Sat 9a - 9p Sun 10a - 7p THE BREAKFAST CLUB 30TH ANNIVERSARY 3/26.
The Breakfast Club 30th Anniversary Don’t you...forget about The Breakfast Club. While some of the fashion might be dated, the themes of alienation and class struggles in high school are still as important and topical today as they ever were. Bend’s own Thomas Del Ruth was the cinematographer on this modern classic and shared a pretty great story with the Huffington Post earlier this year. Because it was a closed set, the lighting rigs were intense and the set always fluctuated in heat to around 95 to 110 degrees. “They often dozed off in the heat. They’d start snoring,” Del Ruth said. “We had to have the assistant directors go wake them up in the middle of the shots. We had to hire two additional assistant directors to just work the second floor and keep the crew awake so they wouldn’t snore and ruin the sound takes.” Sure, you can go to this anniversary screening. . . or WAIT THREE WEEKS AND ATTEND BENDFILM/THE SOURCE’S SCREENING WHICH INCLUDES A LIVE Q&A WITH DEL RUTH, AND COSTUME CONTEST! Thursday, March 26. 7:30 pm. Old Mill Stadium. 680 SW Powerhouse Dr. $12.50. OR: PURCHASE TICKETS NOW FOR BEND FILM’S SCREENING AT BENDTICKETS.COM (and our event is actually cheaper). Watermaster: Water History of the Deschutes Being that the water in the Deschutes, dammed of otherwise, has been such a hot button topic over the last year, the timing of this film couldn’t be better. The documentary follows the history of water management in the Deschutes basin, as well as the legacy of watermaster Bob Main, who passed in 2013. I have seen people in Tin Pan Alley scream in each other’s faces about Mirror Pond and dams and all sorts of water-related shenanigans, so any film that can actually shed some light on the historical context of the Deschutes and bring some facts to the argument is all right by me.

CHAPPIE While Chappie definitely looks like Short Circuit for the 21st century, because South African director Neill Blomkamp’s name is on it, we’re also likely to get some social commentary spritzed throughout bursts of ultra-violence. A police droid is stolen by revolutionaries (played in part by the members of Die Antwoord) and reprogramed to feel human emotion. Naturally, the government fears and hates Chappie, and sets about to destroy the robot and everything it stands for. Old
INTO THE WOODS A massively budgeted big screen adaptation of one of Stephen Sondheim’s most forgettable musicals by the dude who directed Chicago? Putting to music several of Grimm’s fairy tales and putting Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick and Emily Blunt in it pushes it into interesting territory, but we also have Johnny Depp in another stupid damn hat, so... it could go either way. Consider this the magic 8-Ball of movie reviews and try back later. St.Francis Theater
CINDERELLA A live-action retelling of the Disney classic directed by Shakespearean master Kenneth Branagh. Disney will be able to print money pretty soon once the next Star Wars movie comes out, so this version of Cinderella must exist just to remind people about the cartoon. Either way, this seems pointless and get the hell off my lawn.
KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The new film from the madcap bastard behind Layer Cake, Stardust and X-Men: First Class, Matthew Vaughn. Kingsman has Colin Firth using a bulletproof umbrella and beating a bunch of ass while never breaking a sweat. It also has Samuel L. Jackson dressing like Jay-Z, talking with a lisp and hellbent on world domination. I mean, sure, this could be one of the worst movies ever made, but it won’t be. It will be gloriously, batshit insane. Old Mill

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Even if you try to give Divergent (and its sequels) the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t just Hunger Games rip-offs, by the time you reach the end of the first book your optimism will be shredded. While Shailene Woodley is a fine actress, the Teen Post-Apocalyptic genre hits the wall pretty hard here and flails every which way with its pat ideas about freedom, individuality and painfully generic love. In this installment the factions start going to war and Kate Winslet cashes extra paychecks. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Pine Theater, Redmond Theatre, Sisters Movie House

THE LAZARUS EFFECT A group of medical students figure out a way to bring the dead back to life, but when the dead are reanimated, they’re bringing some nasty stuff back with them. I saw this movie before when it was called Flatliners and had Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Platt, Kevin Bacon and one of the damned Baldwins in it. That movie was awesome. This one won’t be because it didn’t even have the common courtesy to call this one Flatliners 2: The Flattening. Old Mill

MR. TURNER Mr. Turner tells the story of J.M.W. Turner, the controversial and revolutionary painter. Following him to brothels, historical meetings and his sexual relationship with his housekeeper, this biopic skips the typical notes of the average biography and delves deeper into the psychology of a deeply flawed but brilliant man. With some of the finest cinematography and costume design of the year, Mr. Turner will please historical drama fans as well as those with an artist’s eye. Tin Pan
FIFTY SHADES OF GREY The timeless saga of Christian Grey, the billionaire industrialist who likes a bit of BDSM with his orange juice and Anastasia Steele, the working class girl who’s never had an orgasm. Just like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy or Heathcliff and Catherine, their incredible exploration of love crosses boundaries like mild torture, tons of pocket condoms and no scat play, whatsoever. Making libraries a little dirtier since 2011. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

FOCUS Will Smith and Margot Robbie as con artists getting ready to take down some marks sounds pretty delightful. Even though Smith’s movie star power has somewhat dimmed over the last few years, people forget that when he’s given a strong role, he tends to knock it out of the park. Not saying that this movie has that going for it, but Margot Robbie is damned delightful also and if her and Will Smith had a baby, it would be too beautiful to look at. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX
PADDINGTON I grew up with Paddington Bear and love him as much as anyone. He taught me wonderful lessons on friendship, love and family that have stayed with me forever that I will probably teach my kids one day. This Paddington, the one in the film, looks like he is going to kill and eat me while I sleep. His dead-eyed stare makes me long for a simpler time, when my childhood heroes didn’t look like Dali’s worst nightmares. Please keep him away from me. St.Francis Theater
FOXCATCHER One of the most talked about films of the year stars Channing Tatum as an Olympic gold winning wrestler who joins multi-millionaire John du Pont’s Team Foxcatcher in order to train for the 1988 South Koream Olympics. With Oscar nominations falling out of its foxcatcher, )plus we know how much the academy loves performances built around fake noses), expect this one to do well come Oscar time. Tin Pan Theater
RUN ALL NIGHT Liam Neeson plays The Gravedigger, an aging mob hitman who has to go to war with his old boss/best friend in order to protect his son and family. Since the film boils down to Liam Neeson Vs. Ed Harris, it seems guaranteed to entertain with those two badasses squaring off against each other. Hopefully, this will be more in line with The Grey as opposed to Taken 3, because that movie was steamed garbage. Old Mill Stadium
GET HARD Will Ferrell is a white collar criminal headed to San Quentin and Kevin Hart is the guy he hires to train him how to be tough for prison. Since Hart has never been to prison and Ferrell only hires him because he’s black, I’m assuming mildly racist hijinks will ensue. With some of the writers behind the brilliant Key and Peele scripting, this could be a return to form for Ferrell and the vehicle Hart needs to show how funny he can be when not improvising. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX
THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL Leisurely strolling into theaters three years after the sleeper hit made 1000% profit comes a sequel no one really asked for, but will probably embrace all the same. Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Dev Patel and everyone else returns to the Hotel but there is only one vacant room. Will Judi Dench and Maggie Smith fight with chains and teeth? Please make it so. Old
THE GUNMAN Sean Penn, Idris Elba, Javier Bardem and Ray Winstone in an action movie by the director of Taken sounds like a delight. Penn plays a sniper who kills a minister of the mines in the Congo. When he returns years later, he becomes the target of a hit squad and must use his very special set of skills. Expect brainless action with lots of slow motion in the rain and you should be well prepared for this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 &

HOME Home is the new film from DreamWorks Animation, home to How to Train Your Dragon, Kung-Fu Panda and Shrek One through Fifty. This one tells the story of an alien (voiced by The Best Amigo Steve Martin) whose race is hiding from their mortal enemy on Earth, which they decide to invade. Obviously, wacky hi-jinks ensure because Jim Parsons is also part of the voice cast and that man has two modes: wacky and faux-nerdy. If they exterminate the human race by accident, then this should be a children’s classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX
INHERENT VICE Inherent Vice is what would happen if Altman’s The Long Goodbye had a big, fat baby with The Big Lebowski and then that hybrid baby fell in love with drugs. So many drugs. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Doc Sportello, a stoner private investigator who gets pulled in way over his head when his ex-girlfriend asks him to help find her current boyfriend. Inherent Vice is a wonderful book that has the chance to be an even better movie under the lens of super-genius P.T. Anderson. St.Francis Theater

SELMA Selma follows the 1965 voting rights marches from Selma to Montgomery. Advanced word on this film is pretty amazing, saying it’s one of the most inspirational depictions of MLK onscreen in history. That is especially impressive since the film wasn’t actually allowed to use any of MLK’s actual speeches since Steven Spielberg owns the rights to them. Let the irony soak in for awhile and then we’ll talk later. Old Mill Stadium 16

SONG OF THE SEA A beautiful animated Irish folk tale by the makers of The Secret of Kells. Saoirse is the last of the Selkie, women who turn seals into girls, and she travels the world freeing magic folk from the clutches of the mundane world. A lovely fable for people of all ages. Tin Pan Theater STILL ALICE Julianne Moore won an Oscar for her portrayal of Alice Howland, a linguistics professor who starts forgetting words due to early-onset Alzheimers. Oscar voters love an actor taking on a debilitating disease and Moore has been snubbed a few times in the past, so the stars aligned this year to give her the golden dude. Sisters Movie House
STRANGE MAGIC George Lucas came up with this story of goblins, elves, fairies and terrible ‘90’s music. The trailer has a few laughs in it and some nice visuals once you get past the cringe-inducing music and the reminder that Lucas has completely lost his mind. Good for the kiddos, though.

[Hey guys! I’m on vacation this week, so please enjoy this I Love Television™ classic from 2011, in which I talk waaaay too much about my nipples. Good luck!—Humpy] In a week filled with crappy season finales, there’s one TV show I hate—yet “hate” to see go. Yes, this week brings the final episode EVER of “Smallville” [which in 2015 you can watch on iTunes]. As a young TV columnist, I grew up with this hilariously operatic teen drama featuring post pubescent hunky hunkster Clark Kent (played by the muscly if not particularly talented Tom Welling). I’ve written umpteen columns about “Smallville,” all of which have devolved into lengthy, practically unreadable essays involving Welling whipping off his shirt, accompanied by intense descriptions of the height, circumference, and hue of his nipples. Well, those days are kaput, my friends— and not because my previous columns have landed me on several pedophile watch lists. Just as Superboy has grown into a SuperMAN, I, too, have matured. No longer do I drool like a hormonal tween at a Justin Bieber concert—because frankly? Tom Welling is like 34 years old now (!!!) and his nips look like shit. The show lost my interest a few seasons ago—thanks to deteriorating storylines, and the departure of Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) and the maniacally hot Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang). In fact, I wasn’t even upset when Welling stopped taking off his shirt, because, as mentioned earlier, his nips have become a national embarrassment. Where once these teats were a model of structural perfection—a luminous coral hue, areolae 1.2 inches (30 mm) in circumference, and nipples five-stacked-quarters high—they are now a sad leathery shade of brown, cracked around the edges, and drooping in unceremonious defeat.

Easy on Tom Welling’s nipples, already!” I hear you cry. “You’re no spring chicken. I seriously doubt your nipples are much better!” OH, YOU WANT TO SEE MY NIPPLES, DO YOU? Well, here! WHOOSH! (That’s the sound of me yanking my shirt up, BTW.) Observe the nipples of a god!! As you can plainly see, MY nippolinis are the stuff ancient sculptors would spend their lives trying to recreate. My areolae? A hot 25 mm in diameter. The color? A perfect blend of eumelanin (brown pigment) and pheomelanin (red pigment)—or in layperson’s terms, the color of a glorious sunrise. As for my nipples? Look up “perky” in the dictionary, and you’ll see their picture! At their most erect, they rise (majestically, I might add) to a whopping 14 mm—long enough to hang your average hat or participate in a ring-toss competition. They often cause those who are 5’4” to receive ocular damage. Why, yes— they DO have the ability to cut glass. And if I fall forward, it’s unnecessary for me to put my hands out to catch myself—THAT’S how perky my nipples are! That being said, I will absolutely watch the final episode of “Smallville” to see what we’ve all been waiting for: Clark finally donning his Superman suit. (For which I’ve graciously volunteered my services as Welling’s “nipple double.” NO NEED FOR THANKS. Just wear eye protection.)

He’s back... i n f r o n t o f t h e c a m e r a
ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The term “jumped the shark” often refers to a TV show that was once great but gradually grew stale, and then resorted to implausible plot twists in a desperate attempt to revive its creative verve. I’m a little worried that you may do the equivalent of jumping the shark in your own sphere. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I’m not at all worried that you’ll jump the shark. It’s true that you did go through a stagnant, meandering phase there for a short time. But you responded by getting fierce and fertile rather than stuck and contrived. Am I right? And now you’re on the verge of breaking out in a surge of just-the-right-kind-of-craziness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you happen to be singing lead vocals in an Ozzy Osbourne cover band, and someone in the audience throws what you think is a toy rubber animal up on stage, DO NOT rambunctiously bite its head off to entertain everyone. It most likely won’t be a toy, but rather an actual critter. APRIL FOOL! In fact, it’s not likely you’ll be fronting an Ozzy Osbourne cover band any time soon. But I hope you will avoid having to learn a lesson similar to the one that Ozzy did during a show back in 1982, when he bit into a real bat—a small flying mammal with webbed wings—thinking it was a toy. Don’t make a mistake like that. What you think is fake or pretend may turn out to be authentic. GEMINI (May 21June 20): In the

spring of 1754, Benjamin Franklin visited friends in Maryland. While out riding horses, they spied a small tornado whirling through a meadow. Although Franklin had written about this weather phenomenon, he had never seen it. With boyish curiosity, he sped toward it. At one point, he caught up to it and lashed it with his whip to see if it would dissipate. This is the kind of adventure I advise you to seek out, Gemini. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. I don’t really believe you should endanger your safety by engaging in stunts like chasing tornadoes. But I do think that now is a favorable time to seek out daring exploits that quench your urge to learn.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Novelist L. Frank Baum created the make-believe realm known as Oz. Lewis Carroll conjured up Wonderland and C. S. Lewis invented Narnia. Now you are primed to dream up your own fantasy land and live there full-time, forever protected from the confusion and malaise of the profane world. Have fun in your imaginary utopia, Cancerian! APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. It’s true that now would be a good time to give extra attention to cultivating vivid visions of your perfect life. But I wouldn’t recommend that you live there full-time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “The national anthem
of Hell must be the old Frank Sinatra song ‘I Did It My Way,’” declares Richard Wagner, author of the book Christianity for Dummies. “Selfish pride is Hell’s most common trait,” he adds. “Hell’s inhabitants have a sense of satisfaction that they can at least say ‘they’ve been true to themselves.’” Heed this warning, Leo. Tame your lust for self-expression. APRIL FOOL! I was making a little joke. The truth is not as simplistic as I implied. I actually think it’s important for you to be able to declare, “I did it my way” and ‘I’ve been true to myself.” But for best results, do it in ways that aren’t selfish, insensitive, or arrogant.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No matter what gender you are, it’s an excellent time to get a gig as a stripper. Your instinct for removing your clothes in entertaining ways is at a peak. Even if you have never been trained in the art, I bet you’ll have an instinctive knack. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I don’t really think you should be a stripper. But I do recommend you experiment with a more metaphorical version of that art. For instance, you could expose hidden agendas that are causing distortions and confusion. You could peel away the layers of deception and propaganda that hide the naked facts and the beautiful truth. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Give yourself ob-
sessively to your most intimate relationships. Don’t bother cleaning your house. Call in sick to your job. Ignore all your nagging little errands.
Now is a time for one task only: paying maximum attention to those you care about most. Heal any rifts between you. Work harder to give them what they need. Listen to them with more empathy than ever before. APRIL FOOL! I went a bit overboard there. It’s true that you’re in a phase when big rewards can come from cultivating and enhancing togetherness. But if you want to serve your best relationships, you must also take very good care of yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s after mid-
night. You’re half-wasted, cruising around town looking for wicked fun. You stumble upon a warehouse laboratory where zombie bankers and military scientists are creating genetically engineered monsters from the DNA of scorpions, Venus flytraps, and Monsanto executives. You try to get everyone in a party mood, but all they want to do is extract your DNA and add it to the monster. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was a lie. I doubt you’ll encounter any scenario that extreme. But you are at risk for falling into weird situations that could compromise your mental hygiene. To minimize that possibility, make sure that the wicked fun you pursue is healthy, sane wicked fun.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you were a ladybug beetle, you might be ready and eager to have sex for nine hours straight. If you were a pig, you’d be capable of enjoying 30-minute orgasms. If you were a dolphin, you’d seek out erotic encounters not just with other dolphins of both genders, but also with turtles, seals, and sharks. Since you are merely human, however, your urges will probably be milder and more containable. APRIL FOOL! In truth, Sagittarius, I’m not so sure your urges will be milder and more containable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The
past is not only another country where they do things differently,” says writer Theodore Dalrymple, “but also where one was oneself a different person.” With this as your theme, Capricorn, I invite you to spend a lot of time visiting the Old You in the Old World. Immerse yourself in that person and that place. Get lost there. And don’t come back until you’ve relived at least a thousand memories. APRIL FOOL! I was exaggerating. While it is a good time to get reacquainted with the old days and old ways, I don’t recommend that you get utterly consumed by the past.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some Aquarian readers have been complaining. They want me to use more celebrity references in my horoscopes. They demand fewer metaphors drawn from literature, art, and science, and more metaphors rooted in gossipy events reported on by tabloids. “Tell me how Kanye West’s recent travails relate to my personal destiny,” wrote one Aquarius. So here’s a sop to you kvetchers: The current planetary omens say it’s in your interest to be more like Taylor Swift and less like Miley Cyrus. Be peppy, shimmery, and breezy, not earthy, salty, and raucous. APRIL FOOL! In truth, I wouldn’t write about celebrities’ antics if you paid me. Besides, for the time being, Miley Cyrus is a better role model for you than Taylor Swift. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Annie Edson
Taylor needed money. She was 63 years old, and didn’t have any savings. She came up with a plan: to be the first person to tuck herself inside a barrel and ride over Niagara Falls. (This was back in 1901.) She reasoned that her stunt would make her wealthy as she toured the country speaking about it. I recommend that you consider out-of-the-box ideas like hers, Pisces. It’s an excellent time to get extra creative in your approach to raising revenue. APRIL FOOL! I halflied. It’s true that now is a favorable time to be imaginative about your financial life. But don’t try outlandish escapades like hers.

NEWS QUIRKS CURSES, FOILED AGAIN
Brian J. Byers crashed his car while driving drunk and then poured water on the road so it would look like black ice caused the crash, according to police in Sparta, NJ, Byers drove the car home and had a friend drive him back to the scene, where an officer spotted Byers carrying two 5-gallon buckets back to his friend’s car after emptying them. It’s not clear how many trips back and forth Byers made with the buckets, but the town’s public works department needed to apply half a ton of salt to make the road safe for driving. The officer charged the friend, Alexander Zambenedetti, 20, with drunken driving, too. (NJ.com) David Fanuelsen, 39, and Dean Brown, 22, stole construction equipment worth $8,000 from their employer, according to police in Key West, FL. The boss, Stace Valenzuela, identified the workers as the thieves because he had overheard them planning the theft after Fanuelsen unintentionally butt-dialed him. “Talk about bumbling idiots,” Valenzuela said. (Reuters)
BOWLING FOR HOLLERS
Two people in east Ukraine were injured while bowling after a player rolled a grenade instead of a ball. The blast occurred at a restaurant that also offers duckpin bowling, which uses a small ball without holes. Emergency services official Sergei Ivanushkin cited the incident as the latest in a rash of accidents in the rebel-controlled area caused by careless use of explosives. (Associated Press)
SMARTPHONES, DUMB PEOPLE
Ontario researchers announced they’ve found a link between heavy smartphone use and lowered intelligence. The reason, their survey suggests, is that the devices encourage lazy thinking by allowing users to solve problems with computers rather than exercise their brains. “Decades of research has revealed that humans are eager to avoid expending effort when problem-solving, and it seems likely that people will increasingly use their smartphones as an extended mind,” said study co-author Nathaniel Barr of the University of Waterloo. (United Press International) Sheena Keynna Miller, 27, was injured after she walked in front of a freight train while texting on her cellphone. Miller told police in Lakeland, Fla., that she didn’t hear the train horn or see the crossing arms down when she stepped onto the tracks. Police Sgt. Gary Gross said the locomotive tossed Miller into the air, fracturing her arm. (Orlando Sentinel)
HOMELAND INSECURITY
A traveler was allowed to use expedited airport security lines, even after a security officer at the airport recognized the person as a convicted felon and former member of a domestic terrorist group, according to the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General’s Office. The official report said the security officer alerted his supervisor but was told to “take no action” and let the passenger through. (NBC News) An investigation of a Federal Air Marshal program specialist uncovered evidence that she was rearranging the flight schedules of air marshals to coordinate sexual trysts. The Center for Investigative Reporting said it found that Michelle D’Antonio, 48, had apparently been using access to sensitive government databases to change flight schedules of air marshals she was interested in dating. Federal air marshals are assigned to commercial flights deemed “high risk” because they carry heavy fuel loads or important passengers. More than 60 government workers face scrutiny. (MSNBC)
IRONY OF THE WEEK
A fire extinguisher factory in Chicago burned down, even after 156 firefighters with 26 pieces of equipment responded to the three-alarm blaze, because they had nothing to put it out with. Noting that firefighters couldn’t reach the flames with water, First Deputy Fire Commissioner Charles Stewart III explained that firefighters finally “had one engine feed another engine to

WHEN GUNS ARE OUTLAWED
Police charged three suspects with assaulting and robbing a 30-year-old man in Winston-Salem, N.C., by threatening him with a hypodermic needle. (Winston-Salem Journal)
DEGREES OF GUILT
Police who spotted a pickup truck matching the description of a stolen vehicle in Destin, FL, reported that the only occupant, Debra Jean Mason, 58, denied stealing the vehicle. She did admit knowing it was stolen but said, “I didn’t think it was that stolen.” (Northwest Florida Daily News) When a woman pointed a gun at a bartender in La Crosse, WI, and demanded money, customer Jeff Steele stopped her with his Taser. The suspect, Heidi Thompson, 24, ran away but was quickly arrested. Police also charged Steele because he didn’t have a concealed carry permit for the Taser. “When I bought it off the Internet, it said basically that it’s legal to have in the state of Wisconsin but didn’t go into any depth on it,” Steele explained, “so I assumed it was legal to carry around, otherwise why would you buy one to leave it at home?” (La Crosse’s WKBT-TV)
POST-POSTING
Facebook announced that U.S. users can designate a “legacy contact,” who is authorized to continue posting on their page after they die, respond to new friend requests, and update their profile picture and cover photo. Users can also ask to have their accounts deleted after their death, a previously unavailable option. (Associated Press)
INJUDICIOUS BEHAVIOR
When reporters spotted Flavio Roberto de Souza, the judge presiding over criminal proceedings against Eike Batista, once Brazil’s richest man, driving Batista’s confiscated Porsche, Souza insisted, “I did not take it to use, just to look after.” He explained the police didn’t have a safe place to protect it from exposure to sun, rain and possible damage, so he took it to a covered parking space in the building where he lives in Rio de Janeiro. “I want the car to be preserved in good condition,” he said. (Reuters)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Canada’s House of Commons approved a policy change allowing military veterans who’ve lost limbs to verify their condition every three years, rather than annually. (The Canadian Press)
HOW TIMES CHANGE
Mark Rothwell was awarded the Civilian Medal for Heroism for disarming a would-be bank robber in Portland, OR, in 2010. “We make decisions every day,” he said at the presentation ceremony by the Portland Police Bureau. “If you want to see change in the world, you be that change.” This February, police took Rothwell, 49, into custody for pointing a gun at bank tellers and demanding “all your cash.” Tracking dogs led officers to an address, where Rothwell appeared and announced, “It’s me you want. I just robbed the bank.” (Portland’s The Oregonian)

HYPNOTHERAPY REIKI LEVEL ONE & REIKI HEALING CERTIFICATION
FOR WOMEN
Saying you won’t have kids for “moral reasons” sounds better than my reasons: I find them loud, sticky, and expensive. There’s also the problem of how long they take to, uh, ripen, which used to be 18 years—before kids started living at home until 30. (Many murder sentences are shorter.) And now, bear with me as I buzz saw through your reasons. As for this “violent planet” business, it used to be that somebody was always cracking somebody over the head with a cudgel. But today, as psychologist Steven Pinker reports in The Better Angels of Our Nature, the planet is less violent than ever, and violence continues to decline. As for the “crowded” argument, in 2011, National Geographic’s Robert Kunzig reported that all seven billion earthlings could fit comfortably in Texas—“if Texas were settled as densely as New York City.” And it turns out that women in the U.S. aren’t having enough children to replace the population dying off. According to World Bank data, American mommies are only having 1.9 children, while demographers put the replacement rate at 2.1 of the screeching, airplane seat-kicking little darlings. The good news is that if you truly like kids, you don’t have to bring them into the world to bring them into your life. There’s adoption, of course (though most women who can give birth to children will want to instead of importing one “made in China”). But there are also countless kids already in existence whose divorced, widowed, or otherwise single moms have a harder time finding boyfriends—even if they’re uber-hot and so sweet they make your teeth hurt. Do profile searches for moms, and say in your profile that you don’t want to create new earthlings but love kids and are open to a woman who already has some. To describe the likely spike in your popularity after hanging the “Welcome, Single Moms!” sign, well, ever watch a pack of wild dingoes descend on a downed cow?

CANNABIS CORNER
SMOKE SIGNALS A few weed facts to get the conversation started: Oregon is riding the wave of the future. Though only the third of four states to legalize recreational marijuana (including Washington, Colorado and Alaska), Americans increasingly support legalization. In 2014, Pew Research found that 52 percent support legalization, compared to just 12 percent in 1969, when Gallup first asked. In Colorado mountain resort communities, out-of-state tourists are responsible for 90 percent of marijuana sales, according to a state-produced study. That same study estimated the state’s annual pot demand is about 130 tons (or 287,259 pounds), which online weed news site Cannabist says is the equivalent of about 36.8 million “eighths.” That’s a lot of Ziplock baggies. It takes a lot of energy to produce marijuana, especially when it’s an indoor grow operation. According to a 2012 study published in the journal Energy Policy on the “carbon footprint of indoor cannabis production,” the average kilogram of weed is associated with 4,600 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. For those of you not dealing in kilos, that’s about 33 kilograms of emissions per eighth of ganja—roughly equal to the carbon footprint of three hamburgers (from cow-produced methane to transportation to McDonald’s). Because legalization will allow grow operations to move outdoors, this is a smart environmental move (although hamburger consumption may go up). Weed thought you like to know.
