ast month, the Bend City Council convened away from City Hall for its biannual goal-setting process. The goals-in-process differ slightly from the goals set two years prior— at least in how they’re categorized. The 2017-2019 goals fell under five headings, including growth, transportation, affordable housing, public safety and modernization. The current goal-setting process—not yet formally adopted—has the goals falling under the headings of economic vitality (which encompasses housing, jobs and managing growth), transportation and infrastructure, public health and safety, and effective and efficient city operations. Right now, city staffers are working to determine which of the proposed ideas the City can actually execute upon, based on the amount of available revenue and staff resources, and the opportunities out there to bring in even more revenue. And while the goals seem to fall in line with the previous Council’s overall mission to focus on core services and the issues most crucial to running a city—namely, building transportation infrastructure and ensuring people have affordable places to live—some piein-the-sky ideas emerging from that goal-setting process show that the work of the Council can, as we have stated in previous editorials, also be about setting a tone and influencing the culture in Bend. The Council does have a role in being inspirational, and

daring to dream about something beyond roads, sewers and housing. As the recent councilor appointment showed, there can be negative cultural consequences to actions that don’t have a direct tie to core services. The anger and frustration some residents felt toward the Council and the Mayor when the appointment process was less-than-transparent may linger for years to come. Meanwhile, proclamations, such as the one supporting the anti-hate “Not in Our Town” initiative, or the one standing in support of action around climate change, do have cultural impact. They don’t achieve anything in their own right, but they let citizens take the temperature of their leadership, giving citizens something to think about or act upon themselves. In other words, city leaders can act as role models and social beacons at the same time as they are diligent public servants. Two examples of this: the proposal within the current goals process to hire a consultant to bring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training to city staff. The other is a proposal to hire two public safety officers who deal specifically with homelessness and mental health concerns. We hope to see both funded. These are just two ways that show how the City Council can serve as both cultural bellwethers, as well as focusing on the less-sexy work of public servitude.

IN RESPONSE TO, “WOMEN’S ISSUE” ON 3/7 I’m sure you’ve been flooded with responses to Rick Burns letter regarding his objection to the Source’s Women’s Issue. Rather than belabor your readers (and Mr. Burns) with the many statistics that can easily be found online about the ongoing fight for equality and equal pay for women, I’ll simply share a quote from a wonderful WHITE MALE friend of mine, which Mr. Burns may find illuminating: “When you’ve received preferential treatment for so long, perhaps without even being aware of it, equality feels like discrimination.” —Kristin Luck Women should absolutely be celebrated. Today. Every day. And whether you are male, female, white, black, gay, straight, Republican, Democrat, you should applaud this and embrace it. Celebrating someone, women in this case, can only be a positive thing. It does not affect you in any negative way whatsoever. Not even the slightest. When someone else accomplishes something, we should celebrate their accomplishment(s) along with them. When we react in a negative way, it usually means that we are insecure about our own selves,

Misogyny is not limited to any one political mindset. It still exists across the board. And though it probably wasn’t your intention, your letter is a perfect illustration of why it's so important to feature and celebrate women as The Source did.

Lights Out on Lighting Efficiency? WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 14, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Some groups say a proposed rollback cost consumers billions—and could have serious environmental consequences By Chris Miller

n Feb. 28, the Department of Energy held a public meeting to announce its plan to revoke Obama-era rules that required higher energy efficiency standards for lighting. According to Environment Oregon, the rollbacks, if approved, would result in an additional 34 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 2025. The Appliance Standards Awareness Project— which organizes and leads efforts that work to advance, win and defend new appliance, equipment and lighting standards—said in February the plan would cost consumers at least $12 billion each year in lost electricity savings by 2025, amounting to about $100 per household each year. “The Trump Administration’s short sighted and backward thinking rollback of these energy saving standards for light bulbs is terrible for the environment,” Environment Oregon’s Allie Astor said in a statement Feb. 28. “These rules would

have eliminated as much pollution as taking 7 million cars off the road. “By revoking these important energy saving regulations, we’re ignoring the pervasive threats of climate change and environmental degradation caused by our wasteful energy practices. The DOE may be offering a public hearing, but they need to make sure they are listening to all the voices who are against this rollback plan.” In Bend, The Environmental Center ran its three-year The Energy Challenge program through last December. Neil Baunsgard, the LED program manager, said the program helped over 5,300 homes in Central Oregon, installing more than 75,000 LED lightbulbs. In 2015, the first year of the program, Bend’s decrease in electricity and natural gas consumption, compared to the same period in 2014, was the equivalent of the greenhouse gas emissions of driving 6,883 vehicles for one year, according to the Environmental Center.

“We are frustrated to see this rollback potentially flooding the market with cheap inefficient bulbs,” Baunsgard said in an email to the Source. According to the DOE’s filing, the proposed rollback is based on a decision that “the legal basis underlying those revisions misconstrued existing law.” Because the proposal would only change a definition, the DOE argued that it’s not changing a standard, so it’s not subject to a legal prohibition on “backsliding” with efficiency standards. The original legislation, passed in 2017, would have rolled many non-standard types of bulbs into the same stricter standard required of normal lamp bulbs in 2007, according to a story by the Indiana Herald Bulletin. The standards essentially required manufacturers to switch from incandescent bulbs to LED or fluorescent bulbs. “DOE’s plan would also stifle innovation, eliminating a powerful regulatory incentive for manufacturers and retailers to invest in high quality, energy efficient LED light bulbs,” ASAP wrote in a statement. ASAP said if the proposal goes through, electricity use in the U.S. would increase by 80 billion kilowatt hours per year— about the combined usage of all households in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The additional energy waste would cause more power plant pollution, including an extra 19,000 tons of nitrogen oxides and 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, found to contribute to health issues like asthma. Industry groups, like the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, have lobbied for the Trump Administration to repeal

the 2017 rule. In a October 2017 letter to the DOE, NEMA argued that because incandescent light bulbs are getting more efficient, the rule itself was illegal. According to the Herald Bulletin story, NEMA originally threatened to sue to overturn the rule, but withdrew the case when the Trump Administration agreed to review it for a potential change in 2017. Baunsgard said incandescent bulbs create light, but 90 percent of the energy is wasted creating heat. “That is why they are so hot they can burn you,” Baunsgard said. “The lighting market has totally transformed over the last three years,” Baunsgard said. “You now can find quality inexpensive LED bulbs in just about every shape and size. LED bulbs are the most popular and least expensive bulbs to operate—they use 85 percent less energy and can last for 15-25 years.” LEDs seem to be the wave of the lighting future, but they come with potential hazards. According to a 2010 study published by Environmental Science and Technology, LEDs contain lead, arsenic and a dozen other potentially dangerous substances. As such, LED bulbs need to be disposed of in the Hazardous Waste Facility at Deschutes County’s Knott Landfill. A 60-day public comment period ends April 12. People can submit comments, identified by “1904-AE26,” through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at regulations. gov, or by emailing SL2018STD0010@ee. doe.gov.

The Mean Streets of Winter Heavy snow years can cause headaches for commuters, pedestrians and the City

By Chris Miller

Clearing Streets According to the City of Bend’s winter street operations, the City’s policy around snow removal is as follows: When 2 inches of snow have fallen, Public Works may plow the main roads and trouble spots like steep slopes. After 6 inches have fallen, Public Works may call private contractors to plow residential streets. The cost of this year’s contracted snow removal was about $316,000, according to David Abbas, City of Bend streets and operations director. The City budgets $250,000 for contractors, but last year’s mild winter left some money in the bank. “We are OK on the budget so far, as we had some saving from last year, which helped,” Abbas said. “We operate on a two-year biennial budget.” The City says its first priority for winter maintenance is clearing major collectors and arterials, like Greenwood Avenue and Third Street. Second-most

important are collector streets that provide access to priority one streets. Residential streets are the lowest priority. “When we call the contractors in for help, they focus on the Priority Three/ local streets,” Abbas said. “Depending on the storm, we can be plowing the same streets multiple times. It is not a ‘plow once and be done’ if it is still snowing. “Once the snow storm resides, we then work on the other areas in town as needed and resources allow if the priority streets are in OK condition, such as bridges, roundabout pedestrian access, snow clean up, slush management, drainage, etcetera.” Abbas said the City Council has discussed using salt on the roads in the past, but there hasn’t been a hard push for using it in Bend, or in Oregon for that matter. “ODOT (Oregon Department of Transportation) has been doing some studies on the use of salt and using it in limited cases,” Abbas said. “The driving force for using any salt would be safety driven in certain circumstances or conditions.” Clearing sidewalks Bend City Code requires sidewalks to be cleared of snow no later than the first six hours of daylight after snow has fallen or accumulated in commercial areas, and one day in all other areas. “It is the adjacent property owner’s responsibility to clear their sidewalks,” Abbas said. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, to comply with Americans With Disabilities Act, “towns must maintain in operable working condition those features that are necessary to provide access to services, programs,

and activities—including elevators and lifts, curb ramps at intersections, accessible parking spaces, ramps to building or facility entrances, door hardware, and accessible toilet facilities.” This includes snow removal, as well as debris removal. “When weather conditions such as snow and ice limit or prevent access to services, programs, and activities, a town that houses programs in an accessible facility will have to maintain access to ensure that those programs are accessible. Maintenance of accessible features would include the removal of snow from accessible parking spaces, parking space access aisles, the accessible route to the accessible entrance, and accessible entrances. Although temporary interruptions in services due to bad weather are expected, alternate services should be provided if snow and ice cannot be cleared in a timely manner,” stated the DOJ. It is possible for the City to fine people for not clearing sidewalks, but Abbas said he was unaware of any fines being issued this winter. A State of Emergency On Feb. 28, Gov. Kate Brown declared a State of Emergency in Deschutes and nine other counties in Oregon, due to the severe winter conditions that caused power outages and damaged roadways. As part of the declaration, ODOT was enabled to

activate the Federal Highway Administration Emergency Relief Program to help repair transportation systems. According to ODOT’s Peter Murphy, ODOT can’t perform maintenance for Bend like helping to plow the streets, but “in the event there’s structural damage, the city can apply via our local agency liaison and ODOT could help.” Water supplies back above normal Even though the heavy snow was a pain to navigate the streets and caused schools to close, there’s a bright spot on the horizon. According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, the record-breaking snowfall dramatically improved Oregon’s summer water supply outlook. The Upper Deschutes and Crooked River basin are now at 112 percent of normal snowpack. Even with the snowpack being above normal, the NRCS said water supply is something to still keep an eye on, as over 60 percent of the state remains in moderate to severe drought. “If the next few months stay cool and stormy, streams will experience normal season flow and drought will continue to decrease,” the NRCS stated in a release. “If there are sustained warm periods and long stretches of dry weather, the water supply forecasts will likely decrease.”

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 11 / MARCH 14, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

he end of winter came in like a lion, covering Bend with record snowfall in February. Even though the snow’s largely stopped falling and the temperatures are rising, plenty of reminders from the storm remain on roadways and sidewalks. That’s left many wondering about the protocols—if any—city officials follow for snow removal. Some might wonder, Why don’t they plow my street? Others wonder, Why hasn’t a business cleared their sidewalk of snow so I can walk or get my wheelchair onto it? While not always apparent— and in the case of sidewalks, not always enforced—the City does have policies and codes around both.

Calls to Action on Race

As Central Oregon’s diversity increases, are local schools doing enough to address racist incidents among students and staff? By Nicole Vulcan

uring the 2017-18 school year, BendLa Pine Schools’ student population was 82 percent white, according to Oregon Department of Education statistics, making the non-white student population roughly 18 percent. Compare that to the 1997-98 school year, when the district had a “minority population” of 4.3 percent, and it’s clear demographics are changing. With 18,064 students, that means over 3,200 Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African-American, Asian, Native, Pacific Islander and other minority students attended BLPS schools last year. Some of those students report ongoing racial harassment, comments and bullying, perpetrated by students—and even staff—within the district. Students and their parents say what’s adding insult to injury is a lack of direction from school officials about how to handle incidents as they happen. “Everyone wants to think of Bend as a utopia,” said Megan Perkins, parent of two students of color in the district. “And so, all the things that happen at schools, it’s like, ‘Oh, that’s just a oneoff, just kind of slip it under the rug, that was just that one kid that said that.’” Parents organize around students of color Perkins is among a group of parents who formed an invite-only Facebook group, Embrace Bend, in December. The group, which Perkins reports had more than 175 members as of February, is a forum for parents of students of color to gather, organize and advocate for their kids. The group formed, Perkins said,

because, “all of our kids have been treated differently, sometimes horribly, in the school system—and what can we do about it?” Perkins presented me with a list of racial slurs reported at local schools, from students opting to leave certain schools for being called the “N” word, to Asian students being called “ching chang,” to one student telling a black student to “go work in the fields,” to students using the word “beaner” to describe Latinx students.

Perkins and other group members feel that when incidents like that are substantiated, and discipline issued, school officials should do more. “I would be having a school-wide assembly and saying, ‘Let’s talk about this, what’s going on here and why is that wrong?’ And that’s not what’s happening,” Perkins said. “There’s obviously going to be times and places where a school-wide response is appropriate and is necessary, and

“It would be better if the teacher did intervene and say something, because it’s hard for the person who’s being told these things to rationally fight back.” – BLPS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT While Perkins says the list offered was “deliberately vague” because some parents feared retribution, other incidents were more specific. Perkins said her group was especially disturbed by an incident this past Halloween at Mountain View High School, where a student came to school grounds dressed in a manner depicting someone of another race. Mountain View Principal Michael Hicks confirmed that a student showed up on school grounds after school, saying, “It wasn’t a costume, but there was some racial component” to the student’s dress. Jim Boen, BLPS’ executive director of South County and Middle School Programs—a role that includes oversight of discipline—said, “There was an incident that was investigated and followed through with in terms of some consequences for kids involved.”

when or when not to isn’t always clear. That’s when we have to do our diligence and have conversations and make that determination,” Hicks said. Investigations and discipline BLPS’ Boen underlined the district’s policy around discipline, which he said includes an investigation, interviewing witnesses and issuing discipline when warranted. Sometimes, “discipline” involves getting victim and perpetrator together to share how the incident impacted them, in a restorative justice-type circle. Because of privacy laws, Boen said the terms of student discipline won’t be shared publicly. But some students feel having more conversations would help them feel supported. “In my experience, a teacher has never done anything—which has kind of

fostered that anger, feeling like, well, none of the teachers are looking out for you,” said one student of color, who shared their story on the condition of anonymity. “It would be better if the teacher did intervene and say something, because it’s hard for the person who’s being told these things to rationally fight back.” That student detailed ongoing experiences with a teacher at Summit High School, including the teacher saying, “shooting up” a mosque “wasn’t so bad,” as well as defending the use of the “N” word, since it’s used in literature. The student says the teacher was out of school for several days following that last incident, that school officials investigated, and that the teacher came back to school and told the class he felt students had gotten “so worked up” over one word. “If he had just said, ‘I’m sorry, I won’t say it,’ and moved on, it would have been fine,” the student said, “but his whole attitude was so angry and defensive and just, the classroom felt like a very unsafe environment at that moment.” Summit Principal Michael McDonald would not comment on the allegations due to privacy laws, but did say. “When we see racism, classism, homophobia, etc. in our schools or community, we take appropriate action and then educate." And then there are the most serious cases. In December 2017, a black student Deshaun Adderley, took his own life after reporting ongoing bullying at Summit. Adderley’s father, Donavan, told the Source last May that he saw his son falling into depression over the bullying.

N/A -I never hear these remarks N/A - Teacher was never present

Question: When racist remarks are made and a teacher or other school staff person is present, how often does the teacher or staff person intervene or do something about it? Source: Summary Report: Let's Talk about Race: Town Hall on Racism, Oct., 11, 2018.

Asking for guidance Another BLPS teacher—who asked to remain anonymous—said they want to hear more from district or school officials about how to interrupt incidents of harassment, or how to respond to offhand comments. “There’s no policy in our district around racial bullying or harassment, so I think that principals don’t really know how to proceed and how to… (create) expectations and policy around it in the school district.” BLPS does have an equity policy, adopted last June, along with a general policy around discrimination and harassment. But this teacher hopes for more direct guidance about what to say to students. Perkins of Embrace Bend agrees. “We need a policy put in place, district-wide, for when these incidents happen. And it can’t just be anti-discrimination; it has to be a proactive… for when these incidents happen.” A call to action from outside the district Several years ago, a small group called the Restorative Justice and Equity Group approached officials at BLPS with the idea of bringing restorative justice practices to area schools. According to the not-for-profit member association, Restorative Practices International, restorative justice involves placing focus on the harm done to people and relationships, and then integrating a “way forward” that involves “wrongdoers, victims and the community in efforts to heal the harm and put things right.” “We were concerned about bullying and things that we were picking up in the paper and coming to our attention just by word of mouth, about some students being harassed, and very unhappy students who were black or brown,” said Dalton Miller-Jones, a member of the group, who’s also a former Portland State University professor of neurodevelopmental psychology and the former chair of PSU’s Black Studies department. “The superintendents were very much in agreement with what we were attempting to achieve in the schools— which was some kind of advocacy, some sort of position in the schools that students could turn to when they were feeling really out of sorts.”

Miller-Jones says they brought ideas and presented lists of potential speakers to officials at the district level, and to individual schools—but that district officials didn’t take up the group’s suggestions. Today, he believes the election of Donald Trump has made racism even more visable. In testimony to Congress Feb. 27, the president’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, stated plainly: “Mr. Trump is a racist,” sharing anecdotes of racist comments made by the president. “It’s no longer under cover,” Miller-Jones said. “It doesn’t just leak out.

Direct support for students of color While the RJ&E Group has longer-term goals of introducing culturally responsive and inclusive curricula, it’s more recently been focused on its first Town Hall, titled “Let’s Talk About Race,” modeled after events run by the Oregon Education Association in Salem and Eugene, and co-sponsored by the Latino Community Association, the Bend Education Association and Central Oregon Community College’s Latinx, Native American and Afrocentric Studies clubs. The day-long event in October brought together 67 students of color from five Bend-La Pine high schools, with local “leaders of color” facilitating small, restorative justice circles for students to share experiences. BLPS Superintendent Shay Mikalson attended as an observer.

…the tears and the emotion that these kids are burying daily—I think we really need to be cognizant of it. It’s going to have impacts around their ability to maintain their health. Miss more school. They get behind in school. It just is a complex web of booby traps—a web of barriers and assaults and insults that, psychologically, is a cost.” —DALTON MILLER-JONES The permission to voice white supremacy has been unleashed, and now we’re seeing it. And it doesn’t look pretty— but you better look at it, because it’s sure there, and it’s been there.” In that landscape, “We decided that we couldn’t wait for the schools to step up,” Dalton-Miller said. “The ambient level of stress that these students are under, I don’t think can be fully appreciated unless you’re a person of color. Latinx students, these days are under unbelievable stress,” he said, pointing to the ongoing debate around asylum seekers and migrants at the U.S. border as sources of stress. “And so, you’re going to be aware that the police are looking at you, that other people in the community may have hostility towards you, if they’re driving around with MAGA symbols on… They’re just synonymous now—the country’s leadership is synonymous with anti-Latinx. “And the tears and the emotion that these kids are burying daily—I think we really need to be cognizant of it. It’s going to have impacts around their ability to maintain their health. Miss more school. They get behind in school. It just

One student’s feedback was, “This is the first time I’ve been in an event that is mostly people of color. It makes me feel comfortable.” Another stated, “This event made me feel that I’m not alone and that there are other people that have the same problems with racism/culture.” Students also offered advice on “next steps,” including fostering the formation

of multicultural clubs at more schools, beyond the big three high schools. Organizers have a second Town Hall scheduled this April, with at least 90 students slated to attend. While stopping short of organizing the event from inside the school district, Miller-Jones believes the district has been supportive of the work. “They’re totally supporting this next one. They’ll pay the teachers for their release time. They pay for the buses— and I say that, because your commitment really shows when it’s working into the budget, right?” Still, some want to see even more buy-in. “I think one of the goals of the Restorative Justice Group is really to have the District pick up some of the work for the Town Halls, and to be there for support,” said LeeAnn O’Neill, a member of the RJ&E Group during the first Town Hall. “But I have a feeling that if you didn’t have this external group doing it, it’s not happening. These Town Halls would not continue, even after the success of the first one.” BLPS’ Equity Cadre Lora Nordquist is assistant superintendent for BLPS and leads the district’s Equity Cadre. Formed at the start of the 2017-18 school year, Nordquist says the group, currently with 17 district staff members, spent its first year creating the district’s equity policy. Nordquist says, “A policy is just a policy, but it’s nice to have kind of some guiding principles that say this is who we aspire to be, and we believe ourselves… accountable for being.” Says Nordquist, “One of our points of focus this fall was to think about, how do you take principle into action?” This year, EC introduced six questions to administrators at each school, asking each to “think about one of the big decisions that you’re making in your building or in your department this spring, and walk that decision through an equity lens.” In addition, both Boen, on the discipline side, along with Nordquist, mentioned new reporting processes around racial incidents, implemented this school year. Administrators can now record whether an incident had a racial component. Continued on page 11

is a complex web of booby traps—a web of barriers and assaults and insults that, psychologically, is a cost.” While student success can be due to a host of factors, graduation rates are one way educators can measure student outcomes. ODE data shows Hispanic/Latino students in BLPS had an on-time graduation rate of 57 percent last school year. Black/African American students’ on-time graduation rate was 54 percent. Among all students, the rate was 79 percent.

FEATURE At Mountain View High, Principal Hicks underlined the proactive work its own equity team is doing inside the school—including leading a half-day workshop around equity the week this story went to press. Sean Reinhart, executive director of special programs for BLPS, also pointed to the district’s recent efforts to develop a Culture of Care program, currently in 11 schools, centered around Trauma-Informed Care, which informs educators in how to best serve students who’ve encountered any type of trauma. Past Trauma Informed Schools Summits introduced tenets of restorative practices, and also included a panel discussion from LGBTQ students, but didn’t touch specifically on race.

11 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 11 / MARCH 14, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Continued from page 9 “If we’re not collecting that data specifically, we don’t know… so that is one concrete change that we have already instituted to say, we need to know where we are,” Nordquist said. And while district officials believe strongly that each school’s administrative team is best equipped to manage that school’s particular issues and incidents, they’re also taking more steps to ensure administrators have cultural and equity training. Nordquist said about 35 administrators and teachers have attended a five-day residential training, titled Coaching for Educational Equity, centered around race, privilege and identity, with more scheduled to attend. Nordquist says the focus has been on training administrators first, so they’re equipped with tools to lead other staff. The idea is to, “focus on getting more of your leaders through this intense training before you start thinking about broader rollouts, especially about requiring it.” She said another roughly 90 staff members, including classified, certified and administrative staff, have attended a two-day version. District leaders also shadowed students of color in December, aiming to understand their school experience. The BLPS teacher who I spoke with— who attended the equity training— acknowledged the district’s work, but says it’s not enough, and not fast enough. “The district has taken some steps to have teachers be involved,” they said, “but I think the district needs to really start talking to kids and teachers and parents so that they know really what’s happening. I’ve asked the higher ups to take a look at having that (equity training) be something that all teachers have to go through.” Nordquist also pointed to individual schools taking action. “One of our schools where there had been several incidents, the principal and the assistant principal themselves really designed lessons for students around language and the impact of words,” Nordquist said. “To hit every single student in the school, from the very leadership of the school talking, you know, with an intentionally designed lesson or series of lessons on that topic—I think that that’s great to hear.”

Role models Another pain point for parents and students: Having a staff population that mirrors the student one. ODE data shows that last year, 94 percent of BLPS teachers were white, along with 82 percent of students. Latinx students made up 12 percent of the population, while 4 percent of teachers were Latinx. Nordquist sees that as a reflection of the wider community’s challenges. “I also understand, when a Latina administrator looks at me across the table and says, ‘this is a hard place for me to bring my family,’” Nordquist reflected. “Let me look at the professionals. Let me look at St. Charles Hospital. Let me look at the police department. Let me look at the city staff. How many leaders do I see who look like me, and am I willing to be a pioneer?” Calls to action Regardless of the work done—or not—outside his own efforts, Miller-Jones says he’s pressing on. “If they want to join us in this, OK, but I am not waiting for their permission or their participation,” he said. While the high school student I spoke with will soon be an alumnus of Bend-La Pine Schools, they too hope for more inclusivity and understanding. “It’s more important now than never for the school district to address these issues, because a division is never good, and having more of a connection between people would be preferable.”

SOUND

Don’t Get Too Comfortable

Ahead of his show with G. Love, Langhorne Slim reflects back on the 15 years since his debut album By Isaac Biehl

“That’s right – it’s 2019. It’s great!” Langhorne laughs, reflecting back on the year so far. “I got up today. I’m on the phone with you. Musically, we’ve been working on a new record that should be out this year, I hope.” Still nameless, Scolnick is cheekily excited about this upcoming album. The band recorded the whole thing about an hour-and-a-half outside of New Orleans. Feeding into the Cajun music scene was an experience he cherished. “It’s been amazing to get to spend time out there,” he says of the energy in that area. “Crazy would be a way of expressing it, yeah. I’m not going to say I understand it, but I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place that the energy dances in the way it does there.” Next year will mark 15 years since the release of “When the Sun’s Gone

Down,” Langhorne Slim’s debut album. Fifteeen years of a career in music, especially in the fast-paced industry of today, is nothing short of impressive. “One thing I tell myself now is, I think when you’ve been doing a certain project for, I guess 15 years, however long it is, is to not allow myself to create a certain identity within the music I write or the clothes that I wear. To not stick to that because it’s what I get used to or what’s comfortable,” says Scolnick of what he’d tell his

younger self. “All of the best stuff, at least what I like that I’ve created, it doesn’t come from a place of comfort. I’d say to not get too cozy or comfortable with all of that sh*t. There’s a Miles Davis quote, and maybe I’m saying it a bit wrong, but ‘It can take a long time to find your own voice,’ and that’s f*ckin Miles Davis!” Coming to play in Bend is an exciting feeling for Scolnick. For one, he has a special bond with the West Coast and Pacific Northwest, openly wondering

why he’s stayed away from these places for so long. Secondly, getting to do a show with G. Love is something Scolnick probably didn’t expect would ever happen growing up. “We’re from a similar area. And G. Love—well, I’m sure he was probably huge everywhere—but being a kid in a little town from Pennsylvania, me and my older brother, we used to rock G. Love so, so hard around the house,” Scolnick says of the upcoming show at The Commons this weekend. “I met him finally many years later and it was a thrilling moment. I was very flattered he knew who we were and was a fan of what we do. So, we’ve become buddies and kept in touch. It’s awesome. It’s a beautiful kind of full circle thing to get to share the stage with him and now call that man a friend.” Subaru Winterfest St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Sat., March 16. 5:30-9:30pm The Commons 869 NW Wall St., Bend No cover

One Happy Bunch

Yes, it’s true, the guys of Ripe are actually friends By Isaac Biehl

f anyone caught Ripe’s show in Bend last year, you know the electric energy it brought to the table. The band’s last album, “Joy in the Wild Unknown,” is a ride through infectious grooves that get your feet tapping. That feeling is one of the key ingredients to their genre-blended sound smoothie. Over the phone, vocalist Robbie Wulfsohn tells me how the group got started, why the band’s sound is so unique and how, surprisingly, they actually all get along. Source Weekly: You guys are a pretty large-sized group. When did you guys come together and how did that connection start forming? Robbie Wulfsohn: We came together in 2011. Right out of the gate at college. We were friends that were partying together at Berkeley College of Music. Pretty much everyone that is in the band came in to college looking to do something radically other than be in a rock band – they wanted to produce, do film scoring – I came in wanting to be an engineer because I thought that was

a stable job. Yet within one month we were making music with no real end.

SW: Who were some of the people you were listening to growing up?

SW: What were some of your biggest fears doing this? Were you guys super nervous?

RW: Very young me would probably have a very embarrassing list of boy bands to name. The first artist I, like, fell head over heels in love with was Dave Matthews Band. The second was Radiohead and the third was The Beatles. But, like, eighth grade me was going to festivals where the headliner was Korn and I was going to

RW: It almost feels like a move that’s not easy to justify, to pursue this particular path. So like the two most common reasons people choose to do it is one, they’re

“As asinine as it can sound like, these are my six favorite people, and this is my favorite thing to do.” —ROBBIE WULFSOHN motivated by the feeling that you’re doing something that no one else is doing, or you’re just – and I feel like we’re in the second camp – you’re just too crazy to think you’d be that good at anything else. SW: It’s good you guys stayed on the path that felt right. RW: It’s crazy that it’s working out the way it is but I’m very, very grateful.

see Guns N’ Roses. It’s been like a hodgepodge. Now it’s like everything is fair game. There’s not a genre that I’m not down with. There’s just artists in every genre that don’t necessarily excite me as much as others. It’s always been a cluster f*ck. SW: Listening to your music really makes you want to get up and move, from the perspective of, like, an audience member. What’s it feel like for you playing it?

RW: It is my favorite thing to do. For me, I feel like a part of a symbiotic thing that it’s happening, because of the audience and because of us. So it, honestly, it feels like kind of analogous. SW: What’s a secret about the band that nobody knows? RW: This is a conversation that came up yesterday so it’s fresh in my mind – but we literally had people in Los Angeles be like, ‘I guess they’re friends because they look like they’re having fun?’ As asinine as it can sound, like, these are my six favorite people, and this is my favorite thing to do. It’s interesting to be having a good enough time that people are like ‘that can’t be real…’ So I guess our big secret is we all love each other. Ripe with Waker

That’s a tough choice, but my favorite moment was hitting the game winning “3” in overtime versus Summit my sophomore season. What’s the best lesson you’ve learned through basketball?

Brian Warinner slams it home!

he greatest time of the year is coming up. No, it’s not Christmas. It’s March Madness, baby! It’s the best time for basketball lovers to sit down to watch the game played by some of the young stars in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. With it being such a prime time for basketball, the Source is shedding light on a couple local players who truly love the game.

My skill development coach, Stephen Garnett, taught me how to push myself and have fun doing it. He helped me love the process of developing my game in the offseason. Who’s your favorite player & why? My favorite player is Russell Westbrook because of his athleticism and warrior mentality. What makes you love basketball? I’d say the number one thing is the relationships I’ve built through basketball. The other thing I love is having something I can constantly work on to get better.

it’s OK to fail. In fact, in many parts of the game, you will fail more than you succeed. Shooting 30 percent from the 3-point line is good and that means you miss seven times out of 10. Keeping this in mind helps me not put so much pressure on myself to try to be perfect in games. Who’s your favorite player & why? My favorite basketball player is Maya Moore. She is intense and very talented. She’s a great scorer but is also a great teammate. Not only is she an amazing basketball player, but she is also a Christian and a great role model for me. What makes you love basketball? There are many things I love about basketball. I love the competition. I love the pace of the game. I love that you put a bunch of different personalities on the team together, and we grow together to become a family. When we are all working toward the same goal, there is just something amazing about that.

I try to be the hardest worker on the floor. I think that allows me to be a good rebounder and defender. I’m also proud of how I am able to attack a defense and for myself and my teammates. Do you have a favorite basketball memory or moment? My favorite basketball memory is when we beat Marist High School. Our high school program has not had a lot of success in recent years. Marist has always been one of the top programs in their division. Beating them this year was a real boost for our team and showed us we are capable of doing great things.

Oregon’s Favorite Chocolates LITTLE BITES The Oregon Chocolate Festival is a crave-able delight

By Lisa Sipe

Best Non-Traditional Use of Chocolate

Local favorite, Holm Made Toffee, took home the prize for Best Chocolate Candy for its ginger and spice hazelnut toffee.

or 15 years, chocolatiers and chocolate lovers have converged on Ashland, Ore., in early March to celebrate all things cacao. The Oregon Chocolate Festival’s chocolate-inspired weekend includes brunch, dinners, chef demonstrations, educational sessions, a run, an expo, a chocolate dessert competition and a chocolate product competition. Visitors sample creations from dozens of West Coast chocolatiers, wineries and other carefully curated vendors. This year, three Bend companies attended, including Inspired Leaf Teas, Lidia’s Chocolates and Holm Made Toffee. Each company could submit a product to be judged in a blind tasting in the chocolate product competition. Three prestigious judges— Chef Durfee, Professor of Chocolate and Pastry Arts at the Culinary Institute of America, Lee Theisen, PhD., a chocolate guru, and Charlie Douglass, previously in chocolate research and development for Harry & David— chose the winners. Here are the awarded chocolate products that may be worth checking out.

Best Chocolate Tablet

Dark Star by Lillie Belle Farms, Central Point, Ore. Dark chocolate, especially at 80 percent, can taste bitter, but the dark star blends just the right amount of sugar with cacao from Madagascar, Venezuela and Peru to create a delightful beanto-bar experience.

Best Chocolate Beverage

Mint Mayan Spice Drinking Chocolate by Super Natural Chocolate Company, Grants Pass, Ore. Usually cacao is roasted when making chocolate, but the Super Natural Chocolate Company keeps its beans from heat, creating an earthy, rich drinking chocolate layered with warm spices and cool mint.

People’s Choice

CocoTutti Chocolates, San Francisco, Calif. Attendees cast their vote for the chocolatier that wowed them the most. This year’s is used to winning awards. Since 2012, owner Elyce Zahn

CJ Coconut Delight Fookie by Dobson’s Fookie, Lincoln, Calif. What the fudge is a fookie? It’s a cookie topped with fudge. This one is a dark chocolate cookie, baked with caramel, topped with dark chocolate fudge and coconut. The company started with just fudge, and as they like to say, they “fudged it up” when the fookie was born.

Best in Show

Michael’s Chocolates, San Francisco, Calif. To win Best in Show, chocolatiers not only need to have amazing products, but also packaging, booth design and popularity with guests. Festival newcomer, Michael’s Chocolates, took home the big win. I tried their Good Food Award-winning bonbon, lemon burst, a lemon pâte de fruit and white chocolate lemon ganache in a 61 percent dark chocolate shell, hand painted with cocoa butter. It was a fabulous, bright, zesty delight. Behind these craveable chocolate creations is Chef Michael Benner, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy and Ecole Chocolate. If you love everything chocolate put the Oregon Chocolate Festival on your calendar for 2020.

When you broil or grill foods with a glaze of mirin, soy sauce and sugar, you get a Japanese favorite, teriyaki. To satisfy your teriyaki cravings Teriyaki Madness is now open off of Highway 20 and 27th Ave. The fast-casual chain restaurant features a Seattle teriyaki menu prepared with all natural, fresh ingredients.

Best Bonbon

Learn to Grow Mushrooms

Coffee Break Crunch by Temper & Mo, Eugene, Ore. The coffee break crunch bonbon debuted this year. It’s a dark chocolate ganache infused with Cascade Coffee and cream, then enrobed in a 61 percent dark chocolate, hand-painted shell. It tastes like a dark chocolate mocha with a cookie in one delicious bite.

Want to start a mushroom garden? Dylan Stevens will teach students how to raise king stropharia, also known as wine cap stropharia, garden giant or burgundy mushroom, without expensive equipment or lots of space. Students will learn about the mushroom life cycle, mushroom identification and different growing techniques, and will go home with mushroom spawn to start their own garden.

Best Chocolate Candy

Ginger & Spice by Holm Made Toffee, Bend The ginger & spice hazelnut toffee is your favorite ginger snap cookie falling into toffee. The warm baking spices hover on top of dark chocolate and buttery toffee.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic Stan & Ollie

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 14, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL: If you’re looking for fast-paced action layered throughout a fairly cool sci-fi story, this is your jam. If you expect a film to have a beginning, middle and an end… avoid at all costs. A huge disappointment from Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub APOLLO 11: A fitting tribute to the 50-year anniversary of man’s first steps on the moon, this documentary brings historical archives as well as never-before-seen footage to the big screen. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ARCTIC: Not to be confused with the other

Mads Mikkelsen hitman comedy, “Polar,” “Arctic” tells the story of a man stranded in the Arctic during a plane crash, who has to decide whether to chill by his makeshift camp or walk through the ice. Decent. Sisters Movie House

CAPTAIN MARVEL: The 21st installment

of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is another charming and action-packed ride. Since this is an origin story, the film can be a bit formulaic at times, but the chemistry of Sam Jackson and Brie Larson is delightful enough to keep things light. See full review on p 29. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

COLD WAR: This Polish masterpiece is on every single top 10 of 2018 list. The film is at turns a sumptuous love story and a heartbreaking look at the barriers real and imagined that politics can create between us. Tin Pan Theater FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY: A surprisingly

Central Oregon’s first glossy magazine dedicated entirely to our animal friends!

heartfelt look at siblings obsessed with auditioning for the WWE. From the mind of Stephen Merchant, the co-creator of the British “Office,” this is a lovely look at family and wrestling. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

GREEN BOOK: A well-intentioned but tone-

deaf look at friendship and racism in the 1950s. While the movie isn’t terrible, there are too many missed opportunities to give the movie a pass. But it won the Best Picture Oscar, so what do I know?!? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub

GRETA: A budding friendship between two women is not at all what it seems in this dark and twisted thriller. The B-movie combination of campy dialog and crazy twists is rounded out by some A-list performances that will keep horror and thriller fans pinned to their seats. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD: A wonderful send-off to

Hiccup, Toothless and the land of Berk. If this makes a billion, they’ll surely make more in the series but, as it stands, this is the best final film

STREAMING THIS WEEK

in a trilogy we’ve received in a very long time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House

ISN’T IT ROMANTIC: From the creative team behind the deconstructed horror comedy, “The Final Girls” comes a deconstruction of the romantic comedy. Rebel Wilson stars as a cynic who hits her head and wakes up living inside a cheesy PG-13 romantic comedy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX RUN THE RACE: An inspirational football

story about a teenager whose mother dies and father abandons him and works to get a scholarship to get himself and his brother a ticket out of town. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

THE KID: I’m ignoring the Rotten Tomatoes score on this dark and gorgeous Western, with Ethan Hawke as Pat Garrett and Dane DeHaan as a psychotic Billy the Kid. Oh, and Vincent D’Onofrio offers his directorial debut. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part: The first Lego movie was the best ever cartoon based on a plotless series of connectable building blocks, and this one is a good one, too. The voice actors are charming and the story hits all the right nostalgia buttons, so prepare to get some more ridiculous songs stuck in your head. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub THE UPSIDE: An American remake of the

lovely French film, “The Intouchables,” starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston as a paraplegic and his new caretaker. If you’ve seen the far superior “The Intouchables” then you can avoid this one altogether, unless you’re a Kevin Hart completist. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD: Visionary filmmaker Peter Jackson (“Lord of the Rings”) takes WWI footage and colorizes it to create a vision of the Great War unlike anything ever seen. A genuinely haunting experience. Odem Theater Pub

TYLER PERRY’S A MADEA FAMILY FUNERAL: The final film in the Madea series

(did you know he made 11 of these?) wraps up the franchise with its trademark blend of exuberantly crude humor and oddly heartfelt moments. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

STAN & OLLIE: A surprisingly lovely movie

about the life and friendship of Laurel & Hardy. With powerhouse performances from Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly, this is easily one of the best biopics in recent memory. Tin Pan Theater

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN: I missed this in the theaters and just caught it on Netflix and, my oh my, this movie was made for the ugly cry. What a beautiful and bittersweet look at growing up and losing the magic of childhood. A wonderful film for anyone, not just kids. My spirit animal is Eeyore. Now Streaming on Netflix.

Top Gun SCREEN Marvel’s Popcorn movie of the year, with extra corn By Jared Rasic

29 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 11 / MARCH 14, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

f you’re anything like me and grew up loving cinema, movie night was the best night of the week. You’d go to the dinky little pre-IMAX theater with sticky floors and weird smells, get your buttery snacks, and for the next two hours you’d be transported to another world. And if it was a good movie, it would be a world where everything made sense, where the good guys beat the bad guys by overcoming impossible odds, becoming their true, heroic selves and saving the day. “Captain Marvel” bottles up that ‘90s movie theater experience and presents it wrapped with a flaming golden ribbon and spritzed with a strong essence of girl power. This is an origin story that starts with Vers the Space Marine (a perfectly cast Brie Larson) in service of the blue-skinned Kree race. Left without any memories of her past, she’s on a quest to master her flaming fist-punch abilities and become her best super-heroic self. When the opposing green-skinned and shape changing Skrull race captures and interrogates her, it jostles loose some very human memories of her time serving in the Air Force in Louisiana, sending her back to Earth and her missing past. The moment she crash-lands through the roof of a Blockbuster Video, we realize the story takes place in the ‘90s, changing from a futuristic space movie to a joyously nostalgic romp through rural Louisiana as she reunites with old Air Force buddies, wearing a Nine Inch Nails T-shirt the whole time. At the center of this sweet blast of ’90s nostalgia is a strongly beating moral heart. Vers regains her memories

That’s her about-to-punch-a-space-ship face.

of being Air Force pilot Carol Danvers, and with it comes the realization that she’s stronger than she ever knew. A life spent being underestimated for being a woman has left her ready to take on violent alien races. So, when we finally get to see Captain Marvel as a glowing golden goddess punching spaceships in half, it feels like she really earned her heroism. Like other Marvel movies, you don’t have to be a huge comic book nerd, understanding everyone’s back stories, to thoroughly enjoy this movie.

Central Oregon’s One Stop Cannabis Super Store Order online using Dutchie Save 10% on your next online order at www.theherbcenter.net use coupon code: HC10.

However, fans of Marvel comic books and movies alike will enjoy seeing familiar faces and clever tie-ins from the rest of the franchise, including a young, fresh-faced Nick Fury rocking two fully functional eyeballs, and fan favorite Agent Coulson still alive and kicking. Stay after the credits for a present-day stinger tying Captain Marvel in with “Endgame,” the coming resolution to the “Avengers” series, in which we finally see the resolution of the cliffhanger we were left with in “Infinity War.”

Built on ‘90s nostalgia, fleshed out by real-world socio-political concepts, and tempered with a secret love letter to test pilots, Captain Marvel is a truly heroic addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as a very fun stand-alone story about a girl who’s just really, really good at punching things.

Turkey Vultures are Back Again By Jim Anderson

still sitting in front of your computer, Google the term “Bird Banding Laboratory.” The first prompt you may get is, “Banded Bird Encounter Report.” Open that and follow your nose, and you’ll eventually be at the page where you can tell the banding lab what you’ve seen. In a few days you’ll receive a certificate of appreciation from the lab for sending in your sighting and information on who, when and where the bird was banded. But more importantly, you’ll probably cause a scientist in Canada to leap off his or her seat and shout, “Hey, we got a recovery from Oregon! How about that!” That, in turn, will cause a whole bunch of scientists in the program to start rethinking what they thought was going on with TVs in Canada, and the U.S., as well. There may be a relationship between the TVs that visit Oregon in summer and climate change. As an example, birders in western Oregon are seeing TVs today in places where we usually don’t see them until late February. For example, on

January 29, a birder in Toledo, Ore., reported seeing a TV. Then, my old pal, Chuck Gates, retired science teacher and longtime birder, reported photographing a TV at Fern Ridge Reservoir in Lane County. On that same day, another birder in Eugene put this up on the Oregon Birders Online website: “That’s near a site that has been a winter roost for maybe 15 years. Toledo is probably an early migrant, but there are enough wintering in SW Oregon these days that it may not have come far.” So, not all the TVs that breed, eat dead sheep, cows and roadkill in the Willamette Valley go off and spend the winter near Baja Mexico and the Imperial Valley in Central California. The birders who are vital to the science of ornithology are the ones who keep accurate records; citizen scientists who furnish data helping the scientific community understand the life history of birds. Events such as the Christmas Bird Count are a wonderful example. Can you imagine what will go through a TV’s mind when it comes

soaring over the deer winter range and smells the delicious aroma wafting up from those deer that perished in the Big Snow of 2019? They’ll think they’ve died and gone to heaven—as did the coyotes, bobcats, eagles and other meat-eaters who discovered them earlier. In closing, the tagged TV in the photo here was photographed in May 2018 in Wisconsin. According to the Banding Lab, it was banded in September 2016 near Saskatchewan, Canada. In my days of banding TVs years ago, I was notified by the Banding Lab I had to quit using the standard leg band, as TVs use their excrements for temperature control, and are not too sanitary doing so. They defecate and urinate down their legs, and the result is the waste products will sometimes build up between the band and the bird’s leg, causing infection. If someone wants to become qualified to put patagial markers on TV nestlings, I’ll take you to the old caves they use. But be prepared: It’s a tight squeeze, and very stinky.

An adult turkey vulture wearing a patagial wing marker.

n spite of all the snow and cold, turkey vultures are on their way north, to their summer haunts. While air temperature does play a role in the movement of turkey vultures and other birds, it’s really the sun’s relationship to the horizon and the amount of daylight that controls their migration calendar. If you see a turkey vulture, also known as a TV, soaring overhead, perched in a tree, on a pole or slurping up roadkill—and it’s wearing a patagial tag like the one in the photo shown here, please send me an email ASAP: jimnaturalist@gmail.com. (The word “patagial” refers to the wing of a bird.) Wildlife biologists in Canada are doing a huge TV study, trying to find out when and where they take themselves south in winter and how widespread they are in summer in Canada. Those patagial wing tags are very noticeable, and easy to read, and the number and color can be/ must be reported accurately.

The Future of Building

A renewable shift, powered by wind and sun close by 2025. Its former coal mine will become a 1,000-acre solar farm. A recent article from NPR states that California has mandated starting January 2020, all new single family and multi-family homes under three stories will be required to install solar panels. These homes are expected to use 53 percent less energy than homes built under the standards set in 2016. This new mandate has faced major scrutiny from developers and real estate professionals, some of whom say upfront costs of about $10,000 will slow a real estate market in which buyers already face high home prices. On the flip side, homeowners are anticipated to save more than $19,000 over the course of 30 years due to lower utility bills. These solar panels can be purchased outright or leased, or homeowners can enter into a power purchase agreement with developers. There’s also an opportunity for communities to pool their resources for larger solar arrays instead of installation on individual homes. Renewable energy is taking a foothold and gaining momentum around the globe. Large-scale installations are great, but we also need numerous small installations on individual homes, parking structures and building rooftops. Your home can and should be an energy producer. California has always been a trendsetter when it comes to policy, and Oregon has a ways to go before we see these types of mandates here, but this may be a sign of what’s to come.

hen imagining the future, the younger me dreamed of living like the Jetsons: flying cars, robots and gadgets performing every daily task. Instead we’ll likely see fewer hyper-futuristic homes and cars, and more solar panel-lined roofs and wind turbines. I’m sure you’ve seen one of the few solar farms in Central Oregon, like the one south of Redmond, which produces enough energy for about 1,500 homes. We can expect to see more of these farms popping up around the state. According to the Redmond Spokesman, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) announced that the Rural Energy for America Program will loan up to $48.2 million for funding solar energy facilities in Deschutes, Klamath, Lake and Clackamas counties. Portland General Electric is building the Wheatridge Renewable Energy Facility, the first large scale renewable energy project in the nation, complete with wind turbines, solar panels and battery storage, expected to provide power to 105,000 homes. These facilities will offset the energy needed from fossil fuels and by using batteries for energy storage it alleviates the hurdle of the intermittent power supply that comes from wind and sunshine. Coinciding with the construction of these new energy facilities, some fossil fuel plants will close. The Boardman Coal Plant in eastern Oregon is slated to close in less than two years and another coal power plant in Washington is set to turn off one of its burners in 2020 and

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Between A Squawk And A Hard Place WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 14, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

I’m a 32-year-old gay man, and my boyfriend of three years sometimes vents to his friends about our relationship. I feel a little betrayed by this—like my privacy’s being violated. Why can’t he figure things out on his own—without bringing in a jury? —Disturbed A few years back, a woman with a grudge against my assistant called me to try to get me to fire her: “She talks trash about you!” Me: “Everybody talks trash about their boss!” The truth is, we all do a lot of grousing to others about people in our lives—our romantic partner, our business partner, our criminal conspirator. That’s actually a healthy thing, though it runs contrary to what emotion researcher Bernard Rime calls the “Lone Ranger individualist perspective of adult emotional regulation.” This, Rime explains, is the mythic view (held even by many psychologists) that healthy adult processing of emotions involves a sort of “rugged individualism” — meaning being “self-contained, independent, and self-reliant.” In fact, Rime notes, emotion seems to have evolved to be not just an internal, solo process but a “fundamentally interdependent process.” Research by the late social psychologist Stanley Schachter, Rime, and others suggests that experiences that give rise to emotion in us motivate us to seek out others—to share the experiences and our feelings. Rime explains that our emotions— especially painful ones—can be overwhelming to us. Experiencing emotion “is a dense and diffuse experience in need of cognitive articulation”; that is, it needs to be hashed out and understood. “By using language and by addressing others, individuals ‘unfold’ the emotional material” so they can understand and manage it and maybe gain objectivity and insight. Understanding how driven we are to share our experiences might help you stop feeling like your boyfriend’s betraying secrets and instead see it as his seeking a sounding board. There’s a good chance that this serves to improve your relationship—sometimes by confirming that he has a legit issue to discuss with you and try to resolve. Of course, we’re all prone to latch on to crazy and ride it like a pony. We need someone to talk sense into us— like to convince us that the jail time isn’t worth it, despite our partner’s disgusting, depraved indifference to all that’s good and right. Yes, I’m talking

about atrocities like opening food packages from the middle (“Hello...are you a rodent?!”), vacuuming in weird, random lines (like a serial killer!), and setting the alarm an hour early and then hitting snooze five times (surely an underappreciated cause of homicide).

Fairy Bail Romance

I’m a 66-year-old man. I got married in my mid-20s. I was totally faithful, but my wife left me after 10 years (I think for another woman). I was with the next woman for 20 years. Again, I was faithful, but she left me, too. Is being faithful overrated? I thought it was the way to secure a relationship. —Failed Relationships Keeping a marriage together by being faithful is important -- but it’s also a step above keeping a marriage together by not being dead. (Note that the marriage ceremony has a little more text to it than “Keep it in your pants, mkay?”) Still, it isn’t a surprise that you’d go, “Wait...faithful to the first one, faithful to the next one; must’ve been why these relationships tanked!” This leap you’re making probably comes out of how uncomfortable our minds are with uncertainty (stemming from ambiguous situations, unanswered questions, and other mental untidiness). According to research by cognitive neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga, a mechanism in our brain’s left hemisphere that he calls Amy Alkon “the interpreter” steps in to fill in the blanks, to save us from the cognitive chaos by coming up with an explanation. Unfortunately, it’s like the world’s sloppiest detective. It quickly scans for any patterns or vaguely plausible meanings and then just goes with them -- creating a narrative that seems to make sense of our experience (and never mind the tedious snore of weighing whether it actually does). Accordingly, though it’s easier on the ego to see your being faithful as some sort of common denominator, a more productive take would be accepting that relationships end and considering whether there’s anything you might have done better, both in picking partners and in being one. You might also reconsider the notion that you had “failed relationships.” The reality is, partners change and grow apart. They come to want conflicting things (like a wife perhaps wanting a wife of her own). Or they just get bored with each other. As I see it, a 10or 20-year relationship is a feat to celebrate—not only making a relationship work for a whole lot of years but refraining from bludgeoning your mate for the horrible, psyche-scraping sounds they make when they chew.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 2014, NASA

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1993, an English gardener named Eric Lawes used his metal detector to look for a hammer that his farmer friend had lost in a field. Instead of the hammer, he found the unexpected: a buried box containing 15,234 old Roman silver and gold worth more than four million dollars today. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something different from what you’re searching for. Like the treasure Lawes located, it might even be more valuable than what you thought you wanted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming weeks

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The role of the artist

might be a good time to acquire a flamethrower. It would come in handy if you felt the urge to go to a beach and incinerate mementoes from an ex-ally. It would also be useful if you wanted to burn stuff that reminds you of who you used to be and don’t want to be any more; or if you got in the mood to set ablaze symbols of questionable ideas you used to believe in but can’t afford to believe in any more. If you don’t want to spend $1,600+ on a flamethrower, just close your eyes for ten minutes and visualize yourself performing acts of creative destruction like those I mentioned.

is exactly the same as the role of the lover,” wrote author James Baldwin. “If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” To fully endorse that statement, I’d need to add two adverbs. My version would be, “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to kindly and compassionately make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you Libras enthusiastically adopt that mission during the coming weeks. With tenderness and care, help those you care about to become aware of what they’ve been missing— and ask for the same from them toward you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus aphorist Olivia Dresher writes that she would like to be “a force of nature,” but “not causing any suffering.” The way I interpret her longing is that she wants to be wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure—all the while without inflicting any hurt or damage on herself or anyone else. In accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, that’s a state I encourage you to embody in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling extra smart—which I suspect you will—you could go even further. You may be able to heal yourself and others with your wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure energy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In some major cities, the buttons you push at a crosswalk don’t actually work to make the traffic light turn green faster. The same is true about the “Close Door” buttons in many elevators. Pushing them doesn’t have any effect on the door. Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer says these buttons are like placebos that give you “the illusion of control.” I bring this phenomenon to your attention, Gemini, in hope of inspiring you to scout around for comparable things in your life. Is there any situation where you imagine you have power or influence, but probably don’t? If so, now is an excellent time to find out— and remedy that problem. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Philip Boit was born and raised in Kenya, where it never snows except on the very top of Mount Kenya. Yet he represented his country in the cross-country skiing events at the Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. How did he do it? He trained up north in snowy Finland. Meanwhile, Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong competed for Ghana in the slalom in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Since there was no snow in his homeland, he practiced his skills in the French Alps. These two are your role models for the coming months, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to achieve success in tasks and activities that may not seem like a natural fit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the process of casting for his movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher considered selecting A-list actress Scarlet Johansson to play the heroine. But ultimately he decided she was too sexy and radiant. He wanted a pale, thin, tougher-looking actress, whom he found in Rooney Mara. I suspect that in a somewhat similar way, you may be perceived as being too much something for a role you would actually perform quite well. But in my astrological opinion, you’re not at all too much. In fact, you’re just right. Is there anything you can do—with full integrity—to adjust how people see you and understand you without diluting your brightness and strength?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For thousands of generations, our early ancestors were able to get some of the food they needed through a practice known as persistence hunting. They usually couldn’t run as fast as the animals they chased. But they had a distinct advantage: they could keep moving relentlessly until their prey grew exhausted. In part that’s because they had far less hair than the animals, and thus could cool off better. I propose that we adopt this theme as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks and months. You won’t need to be extra fast or super ferocious or impossibly clever to get what you want. All you have to do is be persistent and dogged and disciplined.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Wompsi’kuk Skeesucks Brooke is a Native American woman of the Mohegan tribe. According to her description of Mohegan naming traditions, and reported by author Elisabeth Pearson Waugaman, “Children receive names that are descriptive. They may be given new names at adolescence, and again as they go through life according to what their life experiences and accomplishments are.” She concludes that names “change as the individual changes.” If you have been thinking about transforming the way you express and present yourself, you might want to consider such a shift. 2019 will be a favorable time to at least add a new nickname or title. And I suspect you’ll have maximum inspiration to do so in the coming weeks. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For many of us, smell is our most neglected sense. We see, hear, taste, and feel with vividness and eagerness, but allow our olfactory powers to go underused. In accordance with astrological omens, I hope you will compensate for that dearth in the coming weeks. There is subtle information you can obtain—and in my opinion, need quite strongly—that will come your way only with the help of your nose. Trust the guidance provided by scent. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb says humans come in three types: fragile, robust, or antifragile. Those who are fragile work hard to shield themselves from life’s messiness. The downside? They are deprived of experiences that might spur them to grow smarter. As for robust people, Taleb believes they are firm in the face of messiness. They remain who they are even when they’re disrupted. The potential problem? They may be too strong to surrender to necessary transformations. If you’re the third type, antifragile, you engage with the messiness and use it as motivation to become more creative and resilient. The downside? None. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt the antifragile approach in the coming weeks.

managed to place its MAVEN spacecraft into orbit around Mars. The cost of the mission was $671 million. Soon thereafter, the Indian government put its own vehicle, the Mangalyaan, into orbit around the Red Planet. It spent $74 million. As you plan your own big project, Pisces, I recommend you emulate the Mangalyaan rather than the MAVEN. I suspect you can do great things—maybe even your personal equivalent of sending a spacecraft to Mars—on a relatively modest budget.

Applicants test the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners

SMOKE SIGNALS Fair and Impartial?

n a March 6 business meeting, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners once again heard an appeal of a marijuana farm land-use application. This is the first public hearing regarding an appeal of a marijuana land-use application since it was announced that the Deschutes County Farm Bureau and local industry representatives are appealing the county’s 2018 “emergency” rulemaking decisions that further restricted where cannabis farms could exist. So far, if there is any theme to Commissioner Patti Adair’s tenure on the Board, it’s a hands-on approach as it pertains to marijuana farm applications. Rather than hear appeals on these issues dispassionately and make decisions by applying the factual record to the applicable law, Adair seems determined to engineer outcomes. The latter was on full display as the applicants at the March 6 public hearing, the owners of Mckenzie Canyon Farms LLC, faced an appeal-friendly Board. County employees, as is common, approved their application last fall. Neighbors then appealed the decision. Adair, who campaigned for commissioner as a vocal opponent to the marijuana industry, had personally met with neighboring landowners of the proposed site for Mckenzie Canyon Farms prior to the appeal. This issue was brought up in testimony by David Mullan, one of the farm’s managing members. He argued that her personal involvement in listening to the complaints of the appellants rendered her too biased to participate in the decision making. County counsel then asked Adair if she felt her involvement with this particular case rose to the level where she felt she should recuse herself. “I feel I could be fair and impartial,” said Adair. “I know the neighbors were very concerned about the operation. I definitely know that I was concerned with them bringing it into that specific spot in our county at that time.” This is a variation on a theme with Adair. In January, during Board deliberations over another appeal, Adair

attempted to insert into the record outdated internet research she had found, regarding an odor-control device an applicant had proposed for their grow. County counsel and even Board Chair Phil Henderson looked askance at her attempt to replace a certified engineer’s stamp with her own Googling. During the March hearing, county counsel warned that the issue of Adair’s close involvement and relationship with the appealing neighbors could be the basis for a procedural appeal by the applicants, should the application be denied. Ultimately, Adair didn’t see the need to step aside. Henderson, too, jumped in regarding concerns over what would be adequate to power the operation. “In my experience building houses, 200 amp is a basic service,” he said. “This seems like it will require more.” The applicant was only using power to run the water distribution and odor-control devices and would rely on the sun for growing power (the mature canopy would be grown in a greenhouse). The application was buttressed by Central Electric Co-Op’s written commitment to upgrade a substation to supply them with more power in the future. The real issue, however, seems to be Commissioners Adair and Henderson casting aside the Deschutes County Code. The volume of electric power an applicant has access to, much like the quantity of water required, is an irrelevant consideration with respect to whether the Board should approve a land-use permit. If a business has insufficient power, it will fail. If its irrigation water won’t cover the crop, the crop wilts. Henderson also delved into concerns the appellants raised about federally protected eagles that nest in the area, and the “unknown impact” the farm could have on them. Yes, Republicans can be environmentalists, apparently to the extent it retains the rural conservative vote. County staff advised Henderson that the county could not condition local approval on compliance to federal laws about protected species.
