Design by Euijin Gray
As students across the region prepare for the start of the new school year—with all the attendant shopping for new clothes and supplies— the Source is getting a face lift of its own. As you flip through this issue, you’ll notice a brand new design, with cleaner lines and more white space. The designer behind the makeover, Euijin Gray, spent hours pouring over the little things most of us take for granted—the space between words, the thickness of lines—but that ultimately impact our reading experience. We hope you’ll enjoy the new look. And as you do, take a gander at the following stories.

> THE FIGHT FOR TROY FIELD Speaking of things we take for granted,
Troy Field has emerged as an unexpected community conflict. The small patch of grass enclosed by chain link fence is underwhelming compared to downtown’s beloved Drake Park. But, nonetheless, it has played a meaningful if low-key role in community life. We take a look at the community response to its sale and the possibility of reviving Heritage Square. > OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS Our outside writer Kevin
Sperl explores the still unfolding Deschutes River Trail and the efforts of multiple stakeholders, including Bend Park and Recreation, to create a completely connected trail from Sunriver to Tumalo.
> A TALE OF TWO MOCKINGBIRDS Often touted as a “sequel” to the classic novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s recently released Go Set A Watchman is actually a rejected first draft of the beloved tale. Our literary critic Christie Hinrichs talks to memoirist Marja Mills, author of The Mockingbird Nextdoor, about growing up with Harper Lee and the response to her “new” book. > HOLDING ON TO SUMMER’S LAST LIGHT Though summer is technically
on its way out the door, we’re still holding on to those last glorious glimmers. In CHOW, we take a look at floating ice cream vendor The Barge, which launched last weekend for a short but sweet first season. And in OUTSIDE, new contributor Jonathan Weston discovers Bend’s Banana Belt, a glorious community garden where the growing season is far from over. We recommend reading this issue on a sunny patch of grass, while you still can.

IN REPLY TO “RUNNING ON EMPTY?” (8/12) Mankind has been building roads since about 3,000 BC, and Bend has been building roads since 1905, but somehow our City Fathers missed the memo that roads also need to be maintained. I don’t deny our roads need attention, but I can’t believe that The City Council has had no plan in place for funding the repair that roads obviously require and has seemingly been caught so unprepared that their only solution is to raise taxes. If Bend is really that short of money, then they obviously can’t afford to buy crumbling obsolete dams, and should focus more on taking care of the crumbling obsolete infrastructure they’ve already got. —Dave Neil
BEND IS NOT SAN FRANCISCO
Hey, did you see Nashville’s Great Peacock at “The Annex” on Monday night? Probably not. Unless you were among the 10-12 paying customers. Well you missed an incredible group of musicians. I mean, really! Let’s face it, Bend is not exactly Music City West, but if we are going to attract these folks to Bend, let’s look at our business model. A solo artist started things up at 9:30 (30 minutes after advertised), followed by an interesting blooming local band, Sagebrush something, with the real headliner coming on stage at 10:30. As we all know, that’s about 2 and a half hours after Bend rolls up its streets, literally. This is not San Francisco! Earth to Annex owners/promoters: Bad business model. Happy hour starts at 3 pm here. Most folks are crashing about 8 pm and our classic youthful Bend slackers won’t pay $8 to get into anything. Does anyone here know how to make money making music and selling alcohol? This band will sell out in Portland, or elsewhere, and any semismart promoter would have made thousands of dollars on cover charges (well worth the price) and beer sales. Locals: Wake up, smell the money!

Kudos to the journalist who wrote this article. It unbiasly educates people about fire and the proper management of the land. These ladies are inspirational. They work hard and care about the land. They got an education and are now applying it to make a difference in the world. Working hard on the front lines—they are heroes and warriors. Great job ladies—you make me proud!!!!
Meanwhile, thank you Great Peacock for giving your all.

IN REPLY TO “LETTER OF THE WEEK” (8/12) Dear Mr. Busse,
Sorry to hear you are leaving. Hope your replacement keeps up the improvements most notable when you took the Source’s helm. Good luck in your next endeavor. As to the rather rude dismissal of Ms. Heather Valentine’s concern about the continuing deterioration of Bend’s “ambiance,” shall we say someone there was more than a little unfairly harsh. She told it like she sees it. Is that not what journalism is all about? Ok. Maybe she doesn’t care for coffee anymore than myself. (That Deschutes, Cascade Lakes, and other, beer is mighty tasty, though.) No harm done to her, [but] plenty to your credibility as unbiased. —A loyal Redmondite
IN REPLY TO “SAVE PILOT BUTTE SUPPORTER” (8/21) Who does these “studies”?! A new elementary school set to open between Brosterhous Road and American Lane (plus an eventual 200-plus housing units) apparently won’t cause traffic problems, according to the people who seem to “rubber stamp” these projects. A new college is being squeezed in (rammed down our throats) on the westside, when better/more accessible spots are available. These apartments? Yes we need housing, and traffic may be a concern. But your view of Pilot Butte being ruined...get over it or move. I guess that’s the new City of Bend Mantra! We’re imploding folks! (Look it up.) —Chuck Malley
IN REPLY TO “OUT TO DRY” (8/26) Since WaterWatch of Oregon announced our intention to challenge the Central Oregon Irrigation District, North Unit Irrigation District, Tumalo Irrigation District, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation over harm caused by their water use operations in the Upper Deschutes River, representatives of the various irrigation districts have made statements about purported solutions for this stretch of river emerging from a Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) working group. WaterWatch has been a participant in the HCP working group for approximately six years, during which time there has been little to no change in the management of the Upper Deschutes River or impacts to fish

and wildlife. Just two years ago, water management in the Upper Deschutes resulted in a large fish kill below Wickiup Dam. Last fall, the irrigation districts finally released their draft HCP conservation measures for the Deschutes Basin, including the Upper Deschutes River. These were woefully inadequate across the board and roundly criticized by state and federal agencies as well as WaterWatch. In December, the districts told the HCP working group that we would be meeting monthly to address the concerns of WaterWatch, and state and federal fish and wildlife agencies. We put the meetings on our calendars. Over the eight months since that commitment, every meeting to discuss the HCP conservation measures, including those for the Upper Deschutes, has been cancelled. WaterWatch has been extremely patient, but the time for the politics of postponement is over. Solutions for the Upper Deschutes River are needed now, not years from now, and this is why WaterWatch was moved to act.
Need to go back to school—it’s AN historic hazard, not “a.” —c
LETTER OF THE WEEK Dear C: The Associate Press Style Book dictates that “an” only precedes words that start with a vowel sound. Since we pronounce the “h” in historic, just the “a” is called for. That said, we do appreciate folks who care about grammar. Why not grab a coffee at Palate on us and ponder the eroding condition of American grammar. E.J. Pettinger’s

IN REPLY TO “A HISTORIC HAZARD” (8/19) No denying the garage is a potential hazard. But not sure that the problem is in its “historic” designation, as in an out of area owner. As Bend wrestles with growing problems with in-fill Vacation rentals, affordable housing, and more second home properties filling neighborhoods really we need to focus on making the property owners have an interest and personal investment in our community.

Conservation Belly Flop
A
s wildfires continue to burn, and more of the state officially enters a state of drought, Bendites are preparing for the arrival of Slide the City, a giant water slide planned to stretch down College Way.

If it seems odd that the City permitted a company to use Bend’s water while the county is in a drought emergency, we’d have to agree.

In its final Water Supply Outlook of the year, the National Resource Conservation System notes that many Oregon monitoring sites set records for the lowest peak snowpack and earliest melt-out date since measurements began. And, from May to July 2015, Oregon saw the warmest average temperatures since 1895. Following Gov. Kate Brown’s declaration for Deschutes County, the City of Bend issued a Stage 1 Water Curtailment, which asks residents to voluntarily reduce their water usage by 10 percent. When Slide the City initially applied, they were turned down. But the City gave them a pass in exchange for agreeing to recirculate and reuse water during the event. The approval also stipulated that if the City enters a Stage 2 Water Curtailment by September 5, when the slide is due to unfurl on Bend’s west side, Slide the City would have to find an alternate water source. If Stage 3 were reached by that date, the event would be cancelled. But some of the conditions the City outlines for a Stage 2 curtailment
have already come to pass, including “extended periods of above normal temperatures or below normal streamflows” and a drought declaration from the governor. Still, City Manager Eric King says that’s designation is not likely to happen by September 5. “Our dual sources of supply are secure and we don’t anticipate any mandatory cutbacks,” he says. Despite this apparent confidence about Bend’s water supply, the City is actively promoting water conservation, through its WaterWise program, sprinkler inspections program, a new utility rate structure, and more. “We’re confident these efforts are helping to reduce water demands in the long term,” King says. It’s a confounding bit of mixed messaging. While we certainly can’t fault Slide the City for looking to contract with willing municipalities, nor those Bendites who are eager to experience a massive temporary water slide, the fact that the City made concessions in order to permit the experience makes it difficult to take seriously its commitment to conservation. While Slide the City won’t make or break the future of Bend’s water supply, denying the event’s application would have sent a strong and needed signal to local residents that it’s time to reduce water usage, even if it cuts into our summertime fun.

In Search of a Town Square SIDE NOTES Neighbors advocate for preservation of Troy Field
by Erin Rook
By Erin Rook 7
A
t a recent public meeting, about 30 community members and a handful of children shared their dismay at the anticipated loss of de facto downtown park Troy Field. They urged representatives from the Bend-La Pine School District—who recently accepted a $1.9 million offer from an out-of-area developer—not to seek a removal of the existing public facilities designation. “I think the public facilities designation should remain,” said Jerry Olson. “I think we have enough multi-story, high-end condos. I’d prefer to see it serve the community.”
“At a staff level, there has been some conversations with the school district leadership on opportunities to revive the Heritage Square concept,” says City Manager Eric King. “The goal would be to partner in funding a conceptual plan that addresses the school district and City needs as well as the broader context of downtown Bend including commercial, parking, and open space, and how best to program and locate those identified needs.” However, King noted that no formal action has yet been taken by either the City Council or the school board.
The Bend Chamber will host a Best in Business Showcase, highlighting local businesses and providing an opportunity for networking. Attendees will vote on four categories: Best in Show, Innovation Award, Impact Award, Superior Taste Award, and Best Giveaway.
Olson wasn’t alone in that sentiment. Many of those present talked about the many ways the community uses the grassy area across from McMenamins. Jessica Born, director of the Bend Montessori School, said that the space gives her students an opportunity to get outside and play.
Even if the development of Troy Field could be leveraged to advance the Heritage Square concept, some raised concerns about the cost to the public—both financial and social—involved in selling off the property for commercial use, rather than preserving it for public use.
“We probably play in that field three times a week for 20 minutes at least,” Born said, noting that the school is currently based out of the First United Methodist Church across the street. “It’s been a really lovely place to have unstructured play.”
The City of Bend was the only public entity to make an offer on the property. After its initial offer of about $1.1 million was rejected, the City came back with a much more generous offer of $1.7 million—just $200,000 shy of the Brownstone Development offer ultimately accepted by the school district.
“The Best in Business Showcase celebrates our Central Oregon’s diverse businesses while providing professionals with new networking opportunities,” said Robin Rogers, Bed Chamber’s senior vice president of programs and events. “The showcase will foster community pride while giving participants a fun, high-profile way to converse with both current and potential customers.”
To move forward with the development, the school district and Brownstone will have to petition the City to remove the public facilities designation. Changing that designation will cost more than $14,000 in fees alone.
Exhibitor applications are due October 15. The three-hour trade show takes place October 28 at The Riverhouse Convention Center.
“The Planning fee for a General Plan map amendment is $12,265. Engineering fees are $1,955,” King explains. “The district will have to hire some planning and engineering professionals as well to compile the information needed to address the approval criteria.”
The Rotary Club of Bend and Rotary Club District 5110 recently granted $30,000 to support the ReachAnother Foundation, which works in Ethiopia to prevent and treat neural-tube defects such as hydrocephalus and spina bifida. While proper treatment can allow children with these conditions to live healthy lives, many die due to a lack of trained surgeons. The organization helps fund prevention efforts and provides neurosurgical training for local doctors. One of Rotary’s members, Linda Johnson, has been working with a doctor in Ethiopia since 2011.
But it’s not just children who benefit from the open space. It also hosts annual community events such as the Earth Day Fair and Parade and the Memorial Day event. For many, it was less about the field’s uses than its role as the last remaining open space in downtown Bend. Concerns about that loss were heightened by the fact that the City’s Heritage Square plan—which would transform the parking lots between the school district offices and City Hall into a town square have been stalled for years. “I’ve seen good cities and I’ve seen great cities,” commented former lobbyist and developer Marilyn Coffel, “but I’ve never seen a great small city without a public plaza.” Brad Henry, chief operations and financial officer for Bend-La Pine Schools, noted that Brownstone Development has expressed support for the Heritage Square concept. In those plans, Troy Field doesn’t remain green space, but instead becomes a mixed used development with retail and housing. Instead, the current parking lot between the district office and City Hall would become a grassy lawn.
Nunzie Gould said that those costs ought to fall to the developer, not the taxpayer-funded school district. Many of those present shared the sentiment that the public ought to be given an opportunity to buy the field, whether through a schools bond measure or outright. One woman in attendance even did the math, figuring that if Bend’s population is about 80,000, each resident would only need to contribute $23 to match the $1.9 million offer.

There are currently more than 10 active fires in Oregon, according to InciWeb, a government incident information system. Of those, the Canyon Creek Complex Fire is the largest, at 105,684 acres and 49 percent contained as of press time. More than 900 firefighters are currently working on that blaze, include six National Guard units. In Central Oregon, the Warm Springs County Line 2 Fire was 88 percent contained at 67,207 acres. That fire has close to 500 people still working to control it, but is expected to be fully contained by Thursday. Its caused, though widely speculated, is still under investigation.

Deschutes River Trail connectivity chugs along By Kevin Sperl
Bend
Tumalo
Redmond
H
umans have been drawn to water since time immemorial, and Central Oregonians are no exception. That’s why locals and tourists alike are eager to see the completion of the Deschutes River Trail, which currently spans more than 30, somewhat disjointed, miles from Sunriver to Tumalo.
ments contained within Bend’s Urban Growth Boundary.
Steve Jorgensen is the man with the plan. His days are filled with interactions among Deschutes River Trail stakeholders, including representatives of state and federal lands, private property owners, home owners’ associations, and local businesses.
Even in regions with major rivers, residents don’t always enjoy such easy access. In Concord, New Hampshire, for example, the entire downtown has its back to the mighty Merrimack River. But the state’s major interstate, I-93, stands in the way of easy recreational access. In Central Oregon, it can be easy to complain about less than complete access, despite the relative bounty. But when the process is complete, the trail will have full connectivity from Sunriver to Tumalo.
As the Bend Park and Recreation trail planner responsible for the Deschutes River Trail, Jorgensen is working hard to help complete the trail that follows the river, sometimes closely, other times not, from Sunriver in the south to Tumalo State Park in the north. Along with Oregon State Parks and the Deschutes National Forest, Bend’s parks department is the trail’s steward, mainly responsible for the seg-
“The City of Bend, and the surrounding areas of Tumalo to Sunriver are fortunate to have the Deschutes River as an integral and accessible part of its recreational opportunities,” Jorgensen says.
The Tumalo terminus
Because the Deschutes River flows south to north, the trail technically begins in Sunriver, at
Benham Falls. However, for many trail users, Bend serves as a starting point from which the trail branches out to the north and south. The northern, downstream terminus of the trail spills into the expansive lawns of Tumalo State Park, a sparsely-used segment of the trail due to a large boulder field that blocks the path between it and the Riley Ranch Nature Preserve. Although currently closed to the public, Riley Ranch is a 184-acre regional park with planned facilities that will include a bridge, parking, shelters, and interpretive exhibits. The ranch was purchased by the parks department in three acquisitions between 2010 and 2013, and the land features open meadows, juniper and pine forests, unique lava flows, cliffs, and the river’s rocky canyon. The property is upstream of Tumalo State Park and provides access to the Deschutes River Trail south

FEATURE to Archie Briggs Canyon on Awbrey Butte, eventually extending to Pioneer Park in downtown Bend. When I first moved to Central Oregon, I lived in downtown Tumalo. As a runner, the first thing I looked for was a place to run, initially limiting myself to O.B. Riley and Johnson Roads. In search of off-road trails, I ventured down Riverview Road, discovering a single-track trail that led under Highway 20. I was surprised to find that it took me to Tumalo State Park, where I still connected to Johnson Road, having no idea that the Deschutes River Trail ventured this far downstream. On an adventurous day, I proceeded through the day use area until I came upon a private driveway with a bridge that crossed the river. This is where I turned around, again not knowing that the trail continued from here. After my first winter, when the ice had melted on the trail, I ventured further, to discover the trail continuing on the upstream side of that private bridge, following the river. The first gap in the trail is encountered along this section, a part of the trail that falls under the auspices of Oregon State Parks. In early August, Jorgensen met with representatives of the park system to discuss options for traversing the boulder field, subsidized by a $192,000 grant they have in-hand to spend on this project over the next five years. “The consensus was to widen the trail out to the boulder field to allow access for equipment to the site,” explains Jorgensen. “They would then build a boardwalk across sections of the boulder field that could not be crossed with rock infill.” Efforts to bridge this gap highlight the capacity issues that Jorgensen must continually balance. While access across the boulder field is desired, doing so will increase traffic to, and through, Riley Ranch, which is yet to open, pending improvements estimated to be complete in the spring of 2016.
The in-town trail
Within Jorgensen’s direct purview are four main sections of trail starting with its northernmost point at Kirkaldy Court off of Putnam Road, traversing Archie Briggs Canyon on its way to Mt. Washington Drive. Crossing the road and heading up the hill takes those on the trail to First Street Rapids joining the river for a wide and mostly flat section. The footbridge near the small First Street parking lot continues the trail to Pacific Park where the trail officially terminates for a short section. This is the where Jorgensen identifies another gap in the trail, separating trail users from the downtown section, a gap he refers to as the “Pacific Park to Drake Park segment.” “Draft concepts for this section of the trail have been re-
fined by our consulting team and are being presented to adjacent property owners for comments,” he says. “There are three owners out of six total properties from whom trail easements are needed.” Jorgensen says he has received tentative easement approval from most, but further development planning remains, contingent on Mirror Pond development. “We really do not want to move forward with any trail improvements without knowing the future of Mirror Pond,” he explains. “With that and the future of the dam still undecided, the trail will continue to go around that area.” Now that I live in downtown Bend, I enjoy the benefit of being able to “run out the door” to the trail. One of my routes takes me through downtown to connect with the trail at the Newport Bridge and on to First Street Rapids. Within a few miles, I enjoy urban scenery, the relative early morning quiet of downtown, the river itself, early-bird golfers, and Awbrey Canyon, all making for an enjoyable out-and-back traffic-free workout on leg-friendly surfaces. The most urban component of the trail winds through downtown along Drake Park and city streets (mainly Riverfront) to Miller Park on the east side or McKay Park on the west, depending on the choice of bridges to cross. Jorgensen explains that the Riverfront Street section of trail is slated for a number of improvements that include calming and more accurately directing vehicle traffic, sidewalk improvements, and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, and a redesign of the Gilchrist Alley and pedestrian bridge that connects to Columbia Park. “We have a preliminary design for improvements around that footbridge that would essentially extend Columbia Park down to the bridge,” says Jorgensen. “And, road work will more easily direct traffic to avoid the dead end at Miller Park.” At this point, the trail runs headlong into the Colorado Dam project, slated for completion this month. The construction currently requires trail users to walk up the hill on NW Carlon Avenue to Colorado Avenue to cross at the traffic light before picking up the trail behind Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe. Jorgensen is looking forward to bridging this particular gap in the fall, something he feels will prove popular in the long run but, potentially, not so much in the short term. “Soon after the whitewater park is complete, we will start work on the Colorado tunnel project,” Jorgensen explains. “At that time, the road will be closed in both directions as it will be cut to drop in a prefabricated tunnel.” Jorgensen anticipates that construction will begin in
September with the road closure scheduled for early October and lasting into mid-November. Improvements will also be made to the portion of the trail that winds behind Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe, including a paved surface to connect it to the Old Mill.
Anyone who has ever hit their head on the pipes running underneath Colorado would agree with him. The Old Mill section of the trail may be the only section seen by a majority of visitors to Bend, but the section between Colorado and the Bill Healy Memorial Bridge provides a wide variety of running opportunities. The popular Riverbend and Farewell Bend parks are along this section, offering restrooms, tables, benches, and ample grassy areas. Easy access to the river, starting points for floating the river, numerous 5k and 10k road races, and rental bike usage take place along this stretch. When running, I often head to this section when sure-footing is desired. Runs of infinite length can be concocted by crossing any of the bridges resulting in 3-6 mile out-and-backs. Just don’t plan your runs during concerts at the Les Schwab Amphitheater when portions of the trail are closed.
The last easily accessible portion of the trail within the UGB, known as the Mt. Bachelor Village Trail, brings trail users to the South Canyon footbridge from the Bill Healy Bridge. The trail adjoins both sides of the river, connected via the footbridge 1.5 miles upstream. This section is for those on foot only, as cyclists are redirected up to Century Drive to the Haul Road Trail on its south side. It is at this point that Jorgensen is presented with his biggest challenge—connecting the trail to the National Forest portion at Meadow Camp, known as the South UGB segment. Currently, users must walk up Reed Market Road from the Bill Healy Bridge to the Haul Road trail adjacent to Century Blvd. The trail continues with a wide and easily traversed surface to the Entrada Lodge where trails take you back down to the Deschutes. Jorgensen explained that the river from South Canyon and upstream is designated as a State Scenic Waterway, which means that no bridges are allowed. “This section of the Deschutes and a section of the Metolius are the only two rivers in the state so designated,” says Jorgensen. “We feel we have an argument to amend that language to say no to
vehicle bridges, but allowing for bike and pedestrian bridges.” Outside of the UGB, the river’s designation comes under federal control where bridges are allowed, but Jorgensen must then be able to document the potential increased usage of the trails if such a bridge were installed. “When crossing federal lands, bridges are allowed but there are federal requirements to obtain a special use permit, which requires addressing all types of factors,” he says, adding that this designation applies to the trail from the UGB to Benham Falls. The parks department’s Citizens Advisory Committee has evaluated five conceptual bridge locations and eight trail options over the past year, Jorgensen says, and has passed on its recommendation to the Park District Board, calling for a bridge to cross the river just south of the UGB on federal lands. Despite the challenges of closing the remaining gaps in the trail, Jorgensen remarked that the trail has come a long way since the first section was constructed near Awbrey Butte in 1989. Although Jorgensen looks forward to imminent improvements near Miller Park and for crossing Colorado, he knows that patience will be required for extending the trail south of the UGB.
11 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 36 / September 3, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY
“Patience will be needed for a short time,” admits Jorgensen. “But, the Colorado tunnel will be a huge benefit to trail users.”

Orange County’s Little Monster Social Distortion 101 By Jared Rasic 15 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 36 / September 3, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY
Mike Ness, second from right, and the rest of Social Distortion are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the band’s third album.
M
ike Ness is an icon. Regardless of the era of Social Distortion you’re into, whether it is the raw early three-cord punk of their late ’70s-early ’80s output, or their more modern country-tinged, bluesy bar rock, the legend of Mike Ness cannot be denied. Ness was raised in Orange County and kicked out at 15, roaming the gutter punk-friendly streets of Southern California in the mid to late 1970s. After living in the also legendary “Black Hole” punk house in Fullerton, he was inspired by The Sex Pistols to found Social Distortion with Rikk and Frank Agnew on guitars and Casey Royer on drums. When he asked his high school friend Dennis Danell to join, they stayed the only two constant members of the band for over two decades. In 1981, they released the Mainliner/ Playpen 7-inch, which combined the playful simplicity of The Ramones with the druggy haze of The Pistols. Even though they wouldn’t release an album proper until 1983, Mainliner/ Playpen received quite a bit of play at the time on the influential Southern California radio station KROQ. This and a U.S./Canadaian tour with Brent Liles on bass and Derek O’Brian on drums kept the band buzzing all throughout Orange County and Los Angeles. With the release of Mommy’s Little Monster in 1983, they ceased to be un-
derground and gave the band a name outside of Southern California. Monster was one of the final punk albums where earnestness was a virtue, before making way for the eventual pop punk domination of posturing and teenage humor. Ness and Danell believed in PUNK, fully capitalized, as a way of life and a culture and songs like “Creeps” and “Telling Them” reveled in that excitement.
released in 1990. This is where we get “Ball and Chain,” “Story of My Life” and their cover of Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” arguably the three best known songs of their career (with “Story of My Life” going on to appear not only in Reality Bites, but on Guitar Hero 3 as well). Mainstream success had arrived and their hybrid sound of punk, blues, country, and rockabilly was here to stay.
After their tour was over, Ness came back to California without a place to live. During his tenure couch surfing he dove headlong into drug addiction and being strung out on heroin. This culminated in everyone but Danell quitting the band mid-show on New Year’s Eve 1983.
Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell came out in 1992 and songs like “Born to Lose” and “Bad Luck” steeped Social D’s sound in blues, but also distanced Ness from his early punk roots even more than ever.
The band went on hiatus in 1985 as Ness entered various treatment centers in between brief stints of jail time. Upon reforming in 1986, they released their second album, Prison Bound, with Ness more determined than ever to combine his love of country and blues with the punk sound and lifestyle. With songs going past the four-minute mark, Social D’s small outbursts of anger grew into slower, more methodical critiques of society. While there were still glimpses of Ness’ brash, young badass displayed, the Buck Owens/ Johnny Cash influences were looming larger as the genre “cowpunk” struggled to be born. Their self-titled third album was
Before the release of their fifth album, White Light, White Heat, White Trash, Ness was quoted as saying it would bring Social D back to their harder edged, punkier roots. “Don’t Drag Me Down” and “Down on the World Again” captures that sound beautifully with Ness growling harder than he had in a decade, while still catering to the mainstream with tracks like “I Was Wrong” and “Dear Lover.” After a live album and two solo outings by Ness, the band readied to head back into the studio, only to be blindsided by the death of founding member Dennis Danell. They continued playing sold out shows with a rotating lineup, until finally heading back into the studio and releasing Sex, Love and Rock ‘n’ Roll, their first album
in eight years. While some consider the album to be a bit more polished than punk, “Reach For the Sky” is one of the most powerfully written songs of Ness’ career and the entire album contains some of the most genuinely beautiful singing he has ever done. In 2010, they signed with Epitaph and in 2011, they released Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, their seventh and most recent album. A week later the album had reached #4 on the charts, making it the first top 10 album of their 33-year career playing punk music for grownups. Social Distortion is touring and coming to Bend for the 25th anniversary of the band’s self-titled third album while plotting a return to the studio for a planned 2016 release. While Ness might be the only original band member, he is arguably this generation’s punk Hank Williams. He is touring with Jonny Wickersham (of U.S. Bombs and the last two Social D albums), Brent Harding (from Ness’ solo work and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy), and David Hidalgo Jr. (from Suicidal Tendencies). That is a damned fine line-up. Treat yourself.

Punches Not Guaranteed: Punch Brothers, Athletic Club of Bend, 9/4

one are the days of dark concert halls dimly lit by the occasional sparks of lighters and flashbulbs. Things have changed. When musicians gaze out at crowds in 2015, they’re greeted by seas of glowing faces illuminated by LED screens. As New York bluegrass quintet Punch Brothers returned from a year and a half on the road and started working on their fourth studio album, they couldn’t get those images out of their heads.
“We would get together for drinks after working on music each day and the same topic kept coming up, which was basically: ‘Aren’t cell phones weird?’” guitarist Chris Eldridge laughs. “We’re all interacting in such different ways now. It’s cool that we can be out here on the road and still be connected to our wives and girlfriends back home. But then you go to a show and see people’s faces glowing because they’re taking a picture or a video to share with their friends. That’s just a weird thing to see from the stage because you know those people aren’t actually present.” As the album took shape, the group’s late night conversations spilled over into much of the lyrical content of their aptly titled new record Phosphorescent Blues—providing the inspiration for songs like album closer “Little Lights,” a beautiful reflection on the polarizing effects of technology. Over the group’s adventurous style of acoustic bluegrass that borrows heavily from classical music and rock, those words strike an even more powerful chord. “I think that people are attracted to acoustic music because it does seem more authentic and more grounded to something physical and present,” Eldridge says. “There’s no faking it with these instruments.” The band is quick to point out their attraction to acoustic instruments wasn’t a conscious desire to rebel against
music that relies on electronics, however. They’re all open-minded music fans who are excited by progression, but as Eldridge puts it, “We just wouldn’t really know what to do with a synthesizer.” As a group of musicians who all started playing their respective instruments as young children, bluegrass music just happens to be in their blood. “I literally would not exist if it weren’t for the five-string banjo,” Eldridge chuckles. “My parents met because they were both banjo players. We were all kind of brought into this through family connections and our families were all very instrumental in providing us space to work and really take music seriously.” Though raised on bluegrass, the band’s musical influences are varied and it shows in their work. If you’ve ever wanted to see a bluegrass band cover Beyoncé, The White Stripes, or The Strokes, a Punch Brothers show is for you. “One thing that everyone on Earth can agree with is that we look exactly like a bluegrass band,” Eldridge explains. “As far as the content of the music goes, it gets a lot trickier, though. We’re a string band and we all grew up playing bluegrass and admiring the masters of bluegrass, but we all just love music in all its various forms.” He continues, “Anytime a musician hears music they love, it’s not because it’s of a certain genre, it’s because it moves them. That’s the kind of music we try to pay attention to, study, and hopefully create.”

What is a Little Woody?
s much a celebration of beer as local history, Little Woody has its origins in both the tradition of aging beer in wooden barrels and Bend’s roots as a mill town. When the idea for the festival first began to germinate in Pat “Patio” O’Shea’s mind, he was meditating on the history of his own hometown— Philadelphia—and its primary industry, steel. One thing led to another, and before long he was thumbing through old photographs of Bend’s early mills at the Deschutes County Historical Museum. At the same time, Deschutes Brewery (where O’Shea was working) was getting into the modern incarnation of barrel aging. O’Shea put the two together and The Little Woody was born. The festival, now in its 7th year, is smaller than other local events like Bend Brewfest, but it’s meant to be. Even still, it regularly attracts thousands of craft
MAIN STAGE
beer lovers and brewers eager for the unique opportunity to taste barrel-aged beers—including stouts, sours, and beers aged with wood chips, fruits and wild yeasts—as well as rye whiskeys. So, what’s so special about barrel aging? Aging beer in wooden barrels was once the norm, and is experiencing a resurgence in popularity among craft brewing. Barrel aging typically takes place in a wooden barrel previously used to store wine or whiskey. Between the previous tenant and the type of wood, barrel aging lends a variety of complex flavors to beers and ciders. In addition to this added flavor profile, barrel aging can smooth out the alcohol and decrease bitterness. Because barrel-aging does not yet enjoy mainstream popularity, festivals like Little Woody give brewers an opportunity to explore new recipes and
approaches, often with one-off combinations of ingredients. That means that beer-lovers get a potentially once-in- a-lifetime chance to taste truly unique brews that showcase brewers’ creativity and passion for the craft. That’s what makes The Little Woody a favorite of both craft brew aficionados and local brewers. It’s a time to come together with people who get it, who understand that brewing is as much an art as a craft, who relish the opportunity to show off their best work and show their appreciation for the work of their neighbors. Never losing sight of its roots, The Little Woody takes place at the Deschutes County Historical Museum, reminding attendees that barrel-aging and craft brewing are simultaneously a part of Bend’s history and its future.

Friday, September 4th LAMP - 7:00pm LAMP is trying to bring back rock basics, with heavy riffs, tasty jams and powerful vocals. We are a group of three classically trained musicians that have a deep love of powerful music, mainly rock. With haunting melodies and a strong rhythm section we know as soon as you listen to our music we know you will be saying “I love LAMP!!”. HARLEY BOURBON - 8:30pm: Harley Bourbon has the outlaw country spirit of story telling and old time memory, steeped in whiskey and blended with punk rock. The four members, emerged from the different corners of Arizona, Oregon, Washington and California, and were fated to find each other in Bend to create something completely original and authentic. With Avery James Graveman on the drum throne, the infectious resonance of the old L.A. punk scene seeps into the mix, where it is met by Nolan the Party Panther Thompson on the
upright bass, adding the cow-punk flavor of the southwest to make a truly tasty rhythm section. Manning the electric guitar is Portland native Sam Fisher, bringing the perfect crunch to the sound while supplying the insatiable solos that tantalize the eardrums and take you back to the days of rock and roll’s past, when a lead guitar riff could actually move you.
Saturday, September 5th PATRIMONY - 7:00pm Patrimony is a Rock N Roll band with no restriction. Whether it be World, Folk, Blues, Punk, Hip Hop, Pop, Psychedelic, Rock, Post Rock, or really any style of music, Patrimony is influenced by all things inspiring, or “inherited”. CORNER GOSPEL EXPLOSION - 8:30pm After many years of songwriting, Bradley David Parsons put together a talented group of folks to create Corner Gospel Explosion. Influences range from Hardcore acts to singer/songwriters, the music takes plenty of twists and turns. Employing a fair bit of synthesizer creates new dynamics in this rock band. Drawing on reverby guitars and some odd story telling, the music becomes a bit spooky. Hopefully the listeners find it to be a unique experience as it’s intended to be.

During the Little Woody, the museum will be open for you to see what this area looked like in its earlier years and also investigate the history of the people and places that have defined Central Oregon over the years.

Mandatory Puns
Weird Al drops his word crimes all over Bend By Jared Rasic 37 radio and thought, ‘I have a better spin on that’? WA: I’ve been doing that since I was a young kid. In my accordion books, I remember I had a book called something like Hits of the Sixties with accordion music, and I would go through all the lyrics and change them around in the accordion book, and I don’t remember what they were but I’m sure they were just really juvenile and stupid, But I remember I was doing it even at that early age and I first started sending tapes to Dr. Demento when I was maybe 13 years old, so that came pretty early on.
From accordion lessons around his sixth birthday to sending in taped demos to the Dr. Demento radio show, Alfred Matthew “Weird Al” Yankovic has had music in his blood since he can remember and comedy was always intertwined with that. His first single, “Eat It,” revolutionized the song parody and the 1980s saw him with a string of Billboard Top 100 hits and the release of his cult classic film UHF—and he has had a decades-long run as a parodist that would make Samuel Clemens blush. Yet it wasn’t until the release of his 2014 album, Mandatory Fun, that he exploded even wider than ever before. He released eight music videos over the eight days prior to the release of the album and they went viral at an unprecedented level, and the album was the first comedy album in history to debut at #1 on the charts and set the record on Spotify for having the most tracks from one album be in the Top Ten. “Words Crimes” (arguably his best song yet) debuted at #1 and made him the only artist in history, aside from Michael Jackson and Madonna, to have had top 40 singles across each of the last four decades. Soon, Weird Al comes to Bend and by God I got to talk to him. Check BendSource.com before the concert to read the entire interview. Source Weekly: What came first for you, the love of polka or the love of comedy?
SW: How did you get involved with Epic Rap Battles of History? WA: I met Peter [Shukoff] at a Youtube event, I forget what it was, probably two years ago or something, and we were just mutual fans, and we agreed, hey, we should work together sometime. And then the next year Peter pitched me on the idea of being Sir Isaac Newton for a rap battle with Bill Nye and I thought ‘This is great!’ And I did it just for grins, but as it turned out, it wound up coming out right before my album, so it wound up being sort of like the clarion call for my new album and being great publicity for me. You know, I was doing it just ‘cause, you know, I like to do fun stuff and that seemed to fit the bill. SW: Is that how you got involved in the Wet Hot American Summer prequel as well? Just doing fun stuff ?
Weird Al Yankovic will punish you for your word crimes.
was what accordion had always been associated with. So polka was kind of infused into my DNA pretty early. But I was kind of a weird kid and comedy
was always there from the beginning, too, so it’s hard to say which came first.
WA: I always was kind of a weird kid but I don’t think people looked at me as the class clown so much. I was more the nerd. I was the guy you would copy off of in math class and then beat up at recess. So I was more of a nerdy kid as opposed to the class clown. I was always cutting up and trying to make everybody laugh, but I think people thought, ‘eh, something not quite right with Alfred.’
SW: Were you the class clown growing up?
SW: Can you remember the first time that you heard a song on the
I WAS ALWAYS CUTTING UP AND TRYING TO MAKE EVERYBODY LAUGH, BUT I THINK PEOPLE THOUGHT ‘EH, SOMETHING NOT QUITE RIGHT WITH ALFRED.’
Weird Al: Comedy, I suppose, although I grew up playing accordion; in fact, I took my first lesson the day before my seventh birthday. And when you take accordion lessons they don’t teach “Stairway To Heaven,” they basically teach polka music because that
WA: Yeah, I mean, I was a big fan of the movie and I love David Wain and all the people involved in Wet Hot American Summer and, you know, amazing cast and it seemed like fun. SW: (Spoiler alert) Where do you go from opening up your face and having Jon Hamm come out? WA: Doesn’t get much better than that, does it?

eird Al Yankovic introduced me to music. I heard “Yoda” before I ever heard The Kinks’ “Lola” and “I Love Rocky Road” was a part of my consciousness long before Joan Jett and The Blackhearts’ “I Love Rock and Roll.” I doubt I’m alone—and perhaps his current surge of success is due to an emerging generation in our thirties that loved his music as teens.

ART WATCH
To Kill a Classic
Marja Mills talks Go Set A Watchman & growing up with Harper Lee
By Alli Miles
By Christie Hinrichs
WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 3, 2015 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE
38
During September and October, A6 Studio & Gallery in Bend will host a series of exhibits and events featuring the work of renowned photographer and ethnologist, Edward S. Curtis.
S
ince its release in July, Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman has taken the literary world by storm. Fifty-years after the release of the iconic To Kill a Mockingbird, Watchman sold 1.1 million copies its first week (making it the fastest selling book in HarperCollins publishing history) and rocketed to the top of the New York Times bestseller list, where it remains nearly two months later. However, the novel’s wild success has perhaps less to do with its literary merit, and is more in keeping with what many critics see as one of the most flagrant money grabs in publishing history. Bookstores all over the world are issuing full refunds to dissatisfied readers; bloggers and book reviewers call it a not-very-good first draft of the classic Mockingbird, that undoes all of the work Lee did to address race in the American South. The most critical voices claim that the publication of Watchman has forever marred Lee’s revered reputation, and even her most generous reviewers can’t help but admit how sad the whole debacle has become. With so many conspiracy theories surrounding the actual events leading up to the novel’s publication, it’s difficult for readers to sift the truth from
the marketing frenzy. Marja Mills, bestselling memoirist and author of The Mockingbird Nextdoor, has worked closely with Bend’s own Books In Common, a literary events consultancy, and has spoken to audiences nationwide hungry for details. Mills, whose memoir details her years of friendship with the Lee sisters, offers some insight into the publishing event that has left so many diehard fans a little baffled. Source Weekly: What has surprised you about the critical reception of Go Set A Watchman? Marja Mills: I think the reception has been predictable, for the most part. You see glimmers in Watchman of the kind of storytelling that made To Kill a Mockingbird so popular. But you also see a writer still finding her way, and in an essentially unedited manuscript. SW: In your memoir, you mention that the weight of expectation kept Harper Lee from publishing another book, until now. What do you think has changed? MM: That certainly has been the subject of a lot of speculation. For many years, Nelle Harper [Lee]’s sister, Alice Finch Lee, served as gate-
keeper, protector, and partner in handling many of her affairs. Alice died in November at age 103. She practiced law until she was 100, and I think a lot changed for Nelle once Alice no longer was in that role. Nelle Harper [Lee] suffered a serious stroke in 2007 and has not lived independently since then. SW: What is one of your favorite memories from your time spent with the Lee sisters? MM: There are so many. They loved to explore the back roads of their corner of Alabama. Nelle would get behind the wheel of her Buick and kick up some red dust on those country roads. Stories were everywhere in that landscape for them. “‘We go out in every nook and cranny,’ Alice Lee told me early on. “We explore. If a new road opens up, we try it. We have done that all our lives.” SW: How has your life changed since your time in Alabama, and the publishing of your memoir? MM: I get to have conversations with so many book people—readers, bookstore owners and librarians— around the country. That is a joy.
Born near Whitewater, Wisconsin, in 1868, Curtis devoted his life to photographing and documenting the lives of the North American Native American tribes. When his family moved to Port Orchard, Washington, in 1887, Curtis photographed Chief Seattle’s daughter, Princess Angeline. His portrait of the princess won Curtis the highest award in photographic contests at the time. By 1899, now well known for his work with Native Americans, Curtis was invited as one of two official photographers in the famous Harriman expedition to Alaska, the largest expedition the world had seen, consisting of 126 passengers and crew, including many elite scientists and artists. Curtis then traveled to northern Montana, where he witnessed the sacred Sundance of the Piegan and Blackfoot tribes, including the transformative sight of over one thousand teepees gathered on a valley floor. Curtis spend the next 30 years of his life recording and photographing Native Americans, gaining support for his work from President Theodore Roosevelt and J. Pierpont Morgan. Completed in 1930, his project, called The North American Indian, contains 20 volumes and includes 75 hand-pressed photogravures and 300 pages of text. Each volume was accompanied by a corresponding portfolio containing at least 36 photogravures. These volumes will be on display at the High Desert Museum from September 4 through October 31. In addition, Tin Pan Theater and BendFilm will host a documentary on Curtis and his work, entitled Coming to Light: Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indians on September 28. From 1911-1914, Curtis produced a silent film based on the mythology of the Kwakiutl Indians of the Pacific Northwest, entitled In the Land of the Head Hunters. This film will play at the High Desert Museum on October 19. Christopher Cardozo, a photographer and art collector, is considered the world’s leading authority on Curtis and has created the world’s largest and broadest collection of Curtis’s work. He will speak at the Tower Theater on September 5 on: Beauty, Heart and Spirit: The Sacred Legacy of Edward S. Curtis and The North American Indian.

Confections CHOW Cool The Barge caters to floaters seeking sweet treats By Erin Rook 39 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 36 / September 3, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY
The Barge gives new meaning to the ice cream float.
N
othing says summer like a float down the river, or the sound of an ice cream truck crawling through neighborhoods playing a tinny rendition of “Do Your Ears Hang Low?” The Barge, which officially launched last weekend, combines those summer essentials with what is essentially a floating ice cream truck. Anchored just upstream from the Columbia Bridge on the left, the sweet treat start-up is only accessible from the river. It’s a float-through, so to speak, complete with a floating rope for floaters to grab onto as they wait in line.
The Barge is the brainchild of Tiffany Libby and her husband Matthew, who say the idea emerged out of a creative brainstorming inspired by summer’s simple pleasures and Bend community values. “This business concept gained a lot of support and was within our reach,” Tiffany explains. “But ultimately, all that this community already stands for has been an inspiration: creativity, beauty, recreation and ingenuity.” Though the name suggests a sea-worthy vessel, The Barge is an inflatable raft, loaded up with cold confections. And as far as Tiffany can tell, it may be the first of its kind. “When I spoke with a lady at the Oregon State Marine Board she was excited for my idea,” she explains. “[She’d] had others in the past asking about a similar idea of a floating concession for the Portland area, but never heard if any of them ever happened.” In case anyone is considering a copycat venture, Tiffany notes that there were a few hoops to jump through to get the go-ahead. In addition to obtaining a business license from the City, she checked in with Bend Park and Recreation, The Oregon Marine Board, The Deschutes National Forest, and other Deschutes River stakeholders to ensure The Barge met all the applicable codes and regulations. Tiffany is no stranger to creative endeavors, but she says
this is the first time she’s operated a business of this type, and on this scale. “My professional background is in outdoor leadership, youth camps and education, music education and music artistry,” she explains. “I have a small artistic business creating unique signs and pieces called Turquoise Designs that I run out of my home.” That background in outdoor leadership feeds into The Barge’s emphasis on river stewardship and leaving no trace. Aside from encouraging visitors to dispose of their trash responsibly, The Barge also aims to send floaters off with as little rubbish as possible. “We would love to see the community continue to enjoy a beautiful and clean river and so we ask that you would leave all packaging with us on The Barge,” Tiffany says. The only packaging floaters take with them is the biodegradable sticks in the frozen fruit bars, which she still encourages people to dispose of after take out. And that interest in sustainability extends even to the products being offered, which emphasize locally-made, organic, and natural ingredients. “Soon I will even have a cookie sandwich from Portland that is gluten free and vegan,” Matthew says. “Right now, I carry ‘The Groove’ ice cream sandwiches made locally out of Portland, Organic Fruit Bars, and Haagen-Dazs bars. Nothing we have will have corn syrups, artificial flavors, or artificial colors.” And while summer is beginning to fade away, The Barge is going out with a bang. The floating pit stop will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 2 to 5 pm until September 19.

umm Kombucha, the unassuming fermented-tea maker in the little building off NE Second Street is beginning to make its presence better known around town and beyond. Not in terms of new success—it’s already got plenty of that, with flavors like Apple Sass and Blueberry Mint now available in grocery stores across not just Bend, but most U.S. states west of the Mississippi as well. No, their latest venture involves a new beer collaboration with Deschutes Brewery, one that could prove to be the ultimate thirst quencher for the rest of summer. The Twilight Shandy, which made its debut last week at Humm’s taproom and the Deschutes brewpubs in Bend and Portland, is the first time the two companies have worked together. That doesn’t mean they’re wholly strangers, though.

“Gary Fish, the founder of Deschutes, is also a member of the board at Humm,” says head brewer Mackenzie Stabler, “so this is something we’ve been wanting to try to work on together for quite a while now.” A shandy, as discussed in this column a few months back, is any combination of beer and a soft drink like cola or lemonade. The Stiegl Radler grapefruit shandy in tallboy cans is undoubtedly the best-selling one in the Northwest, although you
can make your own just as easily. Kombucha-oriented mixes are rarer on the market, although Four Corners Brewing in Dallas, Texas, released a 2.8% ABV beer/prickly-pear kombucha mix that hit it huge down there. Twilight Shandy is a bit more robust than that, clocking in at 4.25% alcohol and 32 IBUs, but the combination works to excellent effect. “We created a new grapefruit kombucha for this shandy, something that we haven’t released before,” Stabler noted. “We wanted something that would work well with the Twilight summer ale base while adding its own fun citrus notes to the mix.” Does it work? Yes. It’s certainly not like your typical shandy, not super-sweet like Stiegl and not as boozy as the ABV might suggest. What it offers instead is a pleasant funkiness and grapefruit flavor to what was already a great summer ale in Twilight. It’s chuggable, but at the same time complex enough to be worth savoring. Humm and Deschutes have high expectations for Twilight Shandy, and rightly so—the first batch sold out from Deschutes’ Bond Street. brewpub in just a couple days. Don’t fear, though: Discussions are underway for a much wider bottle-based distribution next spring, just in time for the hot weather.

Banana Belt OUTSIDE Bend’s Master Gardeners reap what they sow at Hollinshead Garden By Jonathan Weston 43 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 36 / September 3, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY
Photos by Jonathan Weston
“I
t’s warmer here at Hollinshead,” Master Gardener Nancy Crossan says, “more than any other place in Bend. That’s why it’s called the Banana Belt, and why everything here grows so bountifully.” You mean I live in the SE frost belt? Say it isn’t so! “You can still plant asparagus,” Kris Kornchild, another Master Gardener chimes in. Wait, your name is actually Kris Kornchild? Well I’ll be Johnny Appleseed, and I do love asparagus. She goes on to educate me about the kinds of trees that would do well in our yard. The Oregon State University Master Gardener Program is an OSU Extension Service program that educates Oregonians statewide about the art and science of growing and caring for plants. Here at
gardens, and you realize that whatever the method to their madness, it’s working. Though the tomato taste-off has already passed, the garden grows on. Hollinshead’s group meets every second and fourth Tuesday morning of the month to discuss what needs to be done and who gets to do it. Yes, amid all the eye candy, there is dirty work involved. As my mom likes to remind me, “The weeds are free, pick them all!” Every Master Gardener has a story to tell, and the most compelling ones are about the rich soil, and how the land came to be—at least into the community’s hands. Irrigation water began to flow to this sagebrush area in 1908. Bend proper was still quite a holler away. The park passed through five withered hands before it became the homestead of Dean and Lily Hollinshead in 1939.
Take one look at these gardens, and you realize that whatever the method to their madness, it’s working. the Hollinshead Community Garden, the plots are privately worked by the best green thumbs in Bend. And you thought we could only craft beer. Sunflowers perk up their happy heads throughout the rows and along the fences, while educational placards bordering the outside of said garden fence describe the attributes of ornamental grasses and herbs. Every group of nine plots has a mentor, helping brown thumbs go green, making sure everyone is attending to their plots, and arranging to donate their extra bounty to the needy. Take one look at these
The Hollinsheads didn’t quite settle in right away, as it was a bit of a jaunt to the Friday night square dance on Bond Street. Jim and Virginia Matson first took the bait, raising potatoes, alfalfa, a variety of garden plants, and a few kids to boot. Bend resident Sharron (Matson) Rosengarth, daughter to Virginia and Jim, was born in the nowrestored homestead house in 1939 and lived there until her family bought their own farm in 1949. Sharron opened up the homestead house for us, and described how they baked their own bread. “Everything we ate, we grew right here in this garden,”
she says. She sold the potatoes to the local store, perhaps in exchange for the meat to go along with them. Lily and Dean Hollinshead lived on the land and well, off the land, from 1949 until they donated 11 acres to the Bend Park and Recreation District (BPRD) in the early 1980s. The main stipulation was that a portion of it be reserved for gardening pursuits, and that no dog shall be leashed unless aggressive by nature. Okay, I made that last part up, but it’s true. (If your dog is aggressive, try less meat, more veggies). Today, Hollinshead Park comprises 16.5 acres, and is enjoyed immensely by gardeners and dog owners alike. Tracy, with her bounty of vegetables, is winner of August’s Garden of the Month. She shared the prize with her firefighting partner, though as you can guess from our smoky August, she has done most of the work. Still, like Clark Kent and Lois Lane, they have a super garden going. “We both have a knack for growing different types of plants and veggies,” Tracy explains, “so to get an all around grouping, we decided to join forces.” Hollinshead Park is off the beaten path, tucked away in an older neighborhood- a breath of fresh air from all of the new developments here. Not only are the gardens luscious, but the grounds as well: towering pines, willows, and fruit trees (now missing their plums and apples). If you want to grab a plot for yourself to garden, be prepared to stand in line on April 25 like you were getting tickets for Sting.

As the Temperatures Go Down, the Stoke Levels Go Up!
Bend’s #1 Climbing Shop & Outdoor Retailer!
Bend has a reputation for going to the dogs, or at least accommodating them. A number of breweries, restaurants, and other businesses accommodate pet owners, even leaving out water bowls for our canine companions during the summer’s heat.
Good Dog! Park.
But with their popularity comes controversy, especially regarding humans allowing their dogs to run off leash or “forgetting” to pick up after them.
Meg Andersen says she likes the broad expanse of Pine Nursery Park for her and Darwin, a 9-month-old English springer spaniel.
Encouraging them to play by the rules, Bend Parks provides eight offleash areas, including two small-dog parks for those not able to compete with the bigger breeds.
“It’s more like taking him on a hiking trail than an off-leash park,” she says. “It’s so large that we could go long periods without seeing other dogs.”
Dave Shaw often takes his pup Maximus to the Good Dog! Park trailhead on Century Drive between the Entrada Lodge and Widgi Creek Golf Course.

“You’re in the beautiful Deschutes National Forest and only a few minutes from downtown,” Shaw explains. “It’s an ideal place for turning the dog loose and getting a walk in the woods.” The area is popular with dog lovers, offering trails for walking, running, and mountain biking, which makes for an area that is crowded at times. But Shaw says that it is easy enough to find relative solitude. “Away from the trailhead, the area is large with many trails, so even the busiest times make for a quiet walk in the woods,” he notes. Jaime Dispenza agrees, saying that he takes his dog Summit to Meadow Camp, also easily reached from the
“This part of the trail offers great views and fun running terrain and there are plenty of squirrels to chase,” Dispenza says, adding that the squirrels are for Summit.
Anderson adds that the area is large enough that dogs tend not to form in packs and it provides a wide variety of terrain including open grass fields, dirt trails, and an agility course. “We take him there about once every month or two, mostly because he is still a puppy in training,” she says. Cherie Touchette brings her dogs Toli and Mac with her to run on Forest Road 4606, off of Skyliners Road. “Both dogs are German short hair pointers and need a lot of exercise,” she says. “Running on leash does them no good.” Regardless of where dogs are taken for exercise, Shaw echoes the advice given by the parks department and repeated at dogpark.org. “You will encounter other dogs out there, so only well socialized animals should be brought out, both off and on-leash,” says Shaw.

Things That Go Hump in the Night
Dan Savage’s HUMP! Film Festival showcases porn for the people By Erin Rook
D
oes the world really need more porn? Depending on whose statistics you trust, the internet is comprised of somewhere between 4 and 37 percent “adult” content. The problem, if you ask advice columnist Dan Savage, is that it’s all more or less the same, and rarely authentic. That’s why he started the HUMP! Film Festival, which showcase sexy films made by regular people and represents a wide assortment of interests and quirks. Now with a decade worth of material, HUMP has expanded beyond its festivals in Seattle and Portland to go on tour with a selection of some of the festivals’ hottest films. This year’s selection includes titles ranging from The Grocer, which promises to change the way you see grapes and carrots, to Beethoven’s Stiff, in which a vagina plays the French horn. We chatted with Savage about how the fest has changed, what viewers can expect, and why the festival appeals to people who hate porn. Source Weekly: How has the festival changed over the years you’ve been doing it? Dan Savage: [In the beginning] a significant chunk were made by people who were aping the tropes of mainstream commercial porn. It’s ubiquitous everywhere and audiences didn’t really respond to it. What audiences responded to were the more unique, personal, subjective videos that were really an expression of the filmmakers’
or the stars’ own desires and kinks and pleasures, and even if it was something really off the wall or a kink not a lot of people really share, those were the films that won audience awards, that won balloting. And so I think over those first few years, the people that came to HUMP or made films for HUMP, really the audiences liberated them from porn clichés, freed the filmmakers and performers to do
their thing, instead of the mainstream thing, which is attempting to anticipate the lowest common denominator desires. And so we don’t get those films anymore. What we get now are just really interesting personal films. Some humor, some just erotica—not hardcore at all, musicals, and featuring the stuff that really turns the people in the film on. And that’s what people tap into. People come to HUMP to celebrate, to see the films, to have their minds blown, sometimes to have a laugh—a laugh in good fun, not a laugh at. A lot of the films are humor-
ous; the filmmakers are trying to make audiences laugh. Some people come to really admire the bravery, the kinks, and sexualities and identities of people who are up there on the screen. SW: Have you ever seen a HUMP submission that surprised you, or brought up some kind of kink you hadn’t encountered?
DS: There was a film called Pie Sluts a few years ago—really attractive sort of alt people, I think made in Portland, hitting each other in the faces with pies and this room covered in plastic sheeting. And they’re all half naked and smearing pies on each other. And that was it, there were no genitals, there were no orgasms. But for some people, that is a fetish, being pied, getting pie smashed in their face. SW: If not to get turned on, why do people go to HUMP?
DS: Well you know, when you watch porn at home you watch only what appeals to you. You click on the things you think are going to be sexy and quickly click off anything you don’t find sexy. And when you come to HUMP, you’re not in charge; you don’t get to click off. And HUMP isn’t, you know, people don’t masturbate at HUMP. So the point kind of isn’t— people do get turned on, there’s certainly sexy films—but the point isn’t to get off, the point is to watch. I’ve had people approach me multiple times to say they hate porn, but they loved HUMP and were dragged to the screening by a friend. And I think the reason why people who hate porn love HUMP is the people who hate porn tend to say that porn is very dehumanizing, and the porn you’ll see at HUMP is very humanizing. And partly because it’s people making their own stuff and doing their own thing, and it’s not, you’re not watching a film with people who are under a certain economic or social duress, who may be making porn because they have no other options. These are all people who are making porn because this is what they want to do, it’s something they enjoy, they’re doing this for fun.

Guardians is easily the most fun Marvel movie to date. It would also be the best one if Captain America: The Winter Soldier didn’t exist. At Munch and Movies you can watch children delight in discovering Groot and Rocket for the first (or 50th) time.
How To Change The World: Live Premiere A powerful documentary about the early days of Greenpeace. A group of Vancouver neighbors were opposed to U.S. atomic testing on an Alaskan island and sailed a dumpy old fishing boat to stand in the government’s way. Sundance.org calls it a “hippie heist movie-turned-high sea adventure,” and that definitely sounds like one way to save the world.

CARTEL LAND
A hard-hitting and fascinating documentary about a citizen uprising against the drug cartel in Michoacan, Mexico. It also follows members of a paramilitary group fighting to keep the drug war from spilling across into the US. These stories combine to make one of the most important documentaries of the last decade. Tin Pan Theater
THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL
While teenage girls and their journaling habits might make for a special film on its own, the film The Diary of A Teenage Girl goes much farther. This takes place in San Francisco in the 1970’s as a young woman embarks on an affair with her mother’s boyfriend. The film never judges the characters (even when it should) and plays as a very powerful coming of age dramedy. Tin Pan Theater
DIGGING FOR FIRE
2015 shall be officially crowned as the year of Jake Johnson, the indie darling who stretched from TV all the way to Jurassic World. He stars with Rosemarie DeWitt as part of a married couple that find a bone and a gun and get sucked into some truly dark places. The film is blackly funny in the way only Writer/Director Joe Swanberg can be. Tin Pan Theater
HITMAN: AGENT 47
A sequel to a movie barely anyone saw! Rupert Friend (“Homeland”) takes over for Timothy Olyphant in the role of mysterious and bald Agent 47. This time, the master assassin (with a very similar backstory to Black Widow) teams up with a young woman to uncover the secrets of the corporation that genetically altered him from birth. This movie is going to flop hard and wet, even if it might not deserve to. Redmond Theatre
Rogue-ish CIA operative Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and dour KGB agent Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) team up to stop a nefarious criminal organization from releasing nuclear weapons into the world. Director Guy Ritchie’s obsessively-detailed style should work wonders for a light-hearted spy romp. Or this could be a disaster. Either way. Pine Theater, Redmond Theatre, Sisters Movie House
Tom Cruise is a badass. You can mistake his weird personality and cult membership as him not being one, but he is. The man does most of his own stunts and gives 110% every single time he is on camera, whether the film deserves it or not. Considering Mission Impossible- Ghost Protocol was the strongest entry in the franchise yet, being cautiously optimistic for this one would not be foolhardy. Sisters Movie House
MR. HOLMES
It’s hard to realize that collectively as a planet we’ve all been waiting for a Sherlock Holmes movie starring Ian McKellen, but now that it’s here, do we really appreciate it? McKellen plays the greatest detective who ever lived (sorry Batman) as he looks back on his life and muses about one of his only unsolved cases. I bet he solves it. Pine Theater, Sisters Movie House
SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE
From the team that brought the world Wallace and Gromit comes a story about some sheep that need a day off and accidentally end up in the big city. Shaun, the reluctant sheep savior, must lead his flock back to the farm or else they’ll get turned into coats or some other unsavory enterprise. Go for the kids, stay for the delightful sheep people. Redmond Theatre
SPY
Melissa McCarthy has been on a bit of a cold streak lately, but the trailer for Spy looks like she’s back playing relatable characters instead of loathsome identity thieves and angry cops. With Jason Statham in his first American comedic role, Spy looks like it could be another huge hit from the writer/director of Bridesmaids. St.Francis Theater
STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON
From the director of Friday comes the story of N.W.A., told from the point of view of their importance to history. Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, DJ Yella, and MC Ren came out of the gate swinging and simultaneously gave an entire generation of black youth a voice, while also putting a target on the back of the FBI, LAPD, and just about every white guy with power. A powerful biopic. Redmond Theatre
VACATION
This should look like a nightmare but the trailer is packed with laughs and Chris Hemsworth’s giant prosthetic dong. With Ed Helms playing Rusty Griswold desperately trying to get his family to Walley World, the film is in safe and hysterical hands. Or they could have front loaded the trailer. Either way...HEMSWORTH’S DONG! St.Francis Theater

The world is ready for a stoner/spy thriller/action comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart. With a script by Max Landis, the brain behind the cult classic Chronicle, American Ultra has a pretty strong pedigree to be something special. Eisenberg plays a stoner who is actually a highly-trained government sleeper agent marked for death by his superiors. See, Seth Rogen isn’t in every stoner comedy. Redmond Theatre

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I stand up next to a mountain, and I chop it down with the edge of my hand.” So sang Jimi Hendrix in his raucous psychedelic tune “Voodoo Child (Slight Return).” We could view his statement as an example of delusional grandiosity, and dismiss it as meaningless. Or we could say it’s a funny and brash boast that Hendrix made as he imagined himself to be a mythic hero capable of unlikely feats. For the purposes of this horoscope, let’s go with the latter interpretation. I encourage you to dream up a slew of extravagant brags about the outlandish magic powers you have at your disposal. I bet it will rouse hidden reserves of energy that will enhance your more practical powers. 1.)

getting bored with all of the good news I have been delivering in recent weeks. I’m sorry if I sound like I’m sugarcoating or whitewashing, but I swear I’m simply reporting the truth about the cosmic omens. Your karma is extra sweet these days. You do have a few obstacles, but they are weaker than usual. So I’m afraid you will have to tolerate my rosy prophecies for a while longer. Stop reading now if you can’t bear to receive a few more buoyant beams. This is your last warning! Your web of allies is getting more resilient and interesting. You’re expressing just the right mix of wise selfishness and enlightened helpfulness. As your influence increases, you are becoming even more responsible about wielding it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When 16thcentury Spanish invaders arrived in the land of the Mayans, they found a civilization that was in many ways highly advanced. The native people had a superior medical system and calendar. They built impressive cities with sophisticated architecture and paved roads. They were prolific artists, and had a profound understanding of mathematics and astronomy. And yet they did not make or use wheeled vehicles, which had been common in much of the rest of the world for over 2,000 years. I see a certain similarity between this odd disjunction and your life. Although you’re mostly competent and authoritative, you are neglecting to employ a certain resource that would enhance your competence and authority even further. Fix this oversight! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you have
ever fantasized about taking a pilgrimage to a wild frontier or sacred sanctuary or your ancestral homeland, the next 10 months will be an excellent time to do it. And the best time to plan such an adventure will be the coming two weeks. Keep the following questions in mind as you brainstorm. 1. What are your life’s greatest mysteries, and what sort of journey might bring an awakening that clarifies them? 2. Where could you go in order to clarify the curious yearnings that you have never fully understood? 3. What power spot on planet Earth might activate the changes you most want to make in your life?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When he died
at the age of 77 in 1905, Aquarian author Jules Verne had published 54 books. You’ve probably heard of his science fiction novels Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. He was a major influence on numerous writers, including Jean-Paul Sartre, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Arthur Rimbaud. But one of his manuscripts never made it into book form. When he finished it in 1863, his publisher refused to publish it, so Verne stashed it in a safe. It remained there until his great-grandson discovered it in 1989.
Five years later, Verne’s “lost novel,” Paris in the Twentieth Century, went on sale for the first time. I suspect that in the coming months, you may have a comparable experience, Aquarius. An old dream that was lost or never fulfilled may be available for recovery and resuscitation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I enjoy using the
comedy technique of self-deprecation,” says stand-up comic Arnold Brown, “but I’m not very good at it.” Your task in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to undermine your own skills at selfdeprecation. You may think they are too strong and entrenched to undo and unlearn, but I don’t—especially now, when the cosmic forces are conspiring to prove to you how beautiful you are. Cooperate with those cosmic forces! Exploit the advantages they are providing. Inundate yourself with approval, praise, and naked flattery.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Excess is the
common substitute for energy,” said poet Marianne Moore. That’s a problem you should watch out for in the coming weeks. According to my astrological projections, you’re a bit less lively and dynamic than usual. And you may be tempted to compensate by engaging in extreme behavior or resorting to a contrived show of force. Please don’t! A better strategy would be to recharge your power. Lay low and take extra good care of yourself. Get high-quality food, sleep, entertainment, art, love, and relaxation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
For a pregnant woman, the fetus often begins to move for the first time during the fifth month of gestation. The sensation may resemble popcorn popping or a butterfly fluttering. It’s small but dramatic: the distinct evidence that a live creature is growing inside her. Even if you are not literally expecting a baby, and even if you are male, I suspect you will soon feel the metaphorical equivalent of a fetus’s first kicks. You’re not ready to give birth yet, of course, but you are well on your way to generating a new creation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Since U Been Gone” is a pop song recorded by vocalist Kelly Clarkson. She won a Grammy for it, and made a lot of money from its sales. But two other singers turned down the chance to make it their own before Clarkson got her shot. The people who wrote the tune offered it first to Pink and then to Hillary Duff, but neither accepted. Don’t be like those two singers, Gemini. Be like Clarkson. Recognize opportunities when they are presented to you, even if they are in disguise or partially cloaked. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Going with the
flow” sounds easy and relaxing, but here’s another side of the truth: Sometimes it can kick your ass. The rippling current you’re floating on may swell up into a boisterous wave. The surge of the stream might get so hard and fast that your ride becomes more spirited than you anticipated. And yet I still think that going with the flow is your best strategy in the coming weeks. It will eventually deliver you to where you need to go, even if there are bouncy surprises along the way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Money doesn’t make
you happy,” said movie star and ex-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I now have $50 million, but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.” Despite his avowal, I’m guessing that extra money would indeed make you at least somewhat happier. And the good news is that the coming months will be prime time for you to boost your economic fortunes. Your ability to attract good financial luck will be greater than usual, and it will zoom even higher if you focus on getting better educated and organized about how to bring more wealth your way.

ADVICE GODDESS Wait Lifting
Try to think of this as artisanal dating. Maybe he’s finished building the bed out of antique Popsicle sticks but his carpal tunnel kicked in while he was plucking the flock of geese for the mattress or spinning the cotton for the sheets. If that sounds like a stretch, well, it’s no more of one than your notion—that the guy’s gone out with you five times because he finds you repellant or stays up nights picturing your sexual past (complete with barricades and rent-a-cops for crowd control). Do you think he’s enrolled in some underground rewards program, like you go out with a woman six times and you get a complimentary latte or maybe an iTunes gift card? Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt point out that “human mating is inherently strategic.” Genetically, they explain, it’s generally in a man’s best interest to pursue a “short-term sexual strategy.” (Scientific journals and tenure committees frown on terms like “hit it and quit it.”) Basically, a man can limit his participation in sex to the fun part and still pass on his genes. Women coevolved to expect men to try for this sort of limited participation (so your bewilderment at his crossed legs isn’t exactly surprising). But a man can come to a point where a “long-term sexual strategy” becomes wiser, and it’s generally when he’s serious about finding a partner and not just a sex partner for the evening. Note that the guy keeps coming to pick you up, and not because he is an Uber driver or is being held at gunpoint by your mother. You could say something to him—maybe “Hey, I was really hoping you’d take me home one of these nights.” This may be the nudge he needs to make a move—or at least tell you what’s up. And sure, it is within the realm of possibility that he has ED, an STD, low sexual desire, or a seriously small penis and is waiting until you’re emotionally attached to break out the news. But it’s also pos-
Wuthering Fights My friend says that you only find out who somebody truly is when you break up with them. He suggests that I pick a few fights with anybody I’m datin so I can see their true colors. Is this really a wise idea? - Skeptical Though it seems an obviously bad idea to pick petty arguments, your friend has a point—that you don’t find out who somebody really is when the most pressing question they’re asked is, “Do you need a few more minutes to look at the menu, monsieur?” What comes out in the early stages of dating is temperament more than character. In social psychology, temperament is basically what “flavor” a person is—introverted or extraverted, loud or quiet, happy or glum. Character is values-driven behavior—meaning whether a person’s likely to do what’s right as opposed to what’s easiest. (Like if there’s a landslide, do they try to save you or just wave goodbye?) Character is mostly revealed in two ways: over time and through stress. To speed up the character revelation timetable, do challenging activities together—the sort in which “party manners” are hard to maintain: Camp. Go on a high-stakes scavenger hunt. Go on a juice fast. Go on a juice fast while camping. Who a person really is can’t help but come out when they’re in the middle of the woods with you, they haven’t eaten solid food in a week, and a hiker walks by with a bag of Doritos. (It’s the little things that count— like how they lovingly brush that telltale orange dust out of your hair before the cops come.)

So you’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and join the ranks of Central Oregon’s vacation rental owners. What now? We’ve gathered up some advice to guide you in making your rental stand out from the crowds, and getting the most out of your investment. (If you haven’t already submitted your vacation rental application to the City, hop to it. The deadline is September 30.) Property manager or Airbnb? Services like Airbnb or VRBO can be an inexpensive, easy solution for many vacation rental owners, especially if they don’t rent through the entire year and live in the same geographic area as the rental. However, doing all of the booking through an online service not only prevents the one on one contact with a potential renter (which could alert the owner to red

flags), online listings can often get lost in a long list of properties. This is especially problematic in a vacation rental-heavy area such as Central Oregon. A vacation rental management company costs more, but will act as the liaison between you and the renter. They have bound legal contracts to help protect both you and the tenant. A property manager will also help to screen the renter to fit your specific guidelines and parameters, and may provide additional marketing resources for your home. If you have a winter vacation home, make sure that your furnaces are working and test the heat at the beginning of each rental season. Whether you manage your property or not, a hands-on and involved renter generally has a better property than one who is absent.

When representatives from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission stopped in Bend as part of their listening tour, one of the concerns raised by those in attendance was that the local market would be flooded with people from other states, including everyone’s favorite scapegoat: Californians. Starting next year, the Oregon Health Authority will limit the ability of out-of-state folks to buy and grow medical marijuana. Oregon Live reports that the OHA will cease approving medical marijuana cards for out-of-state patients starting on January 1. This change will bring Oregon in line with other states where medical marijuana is legal. And of July 1, new growers of medical marijuana will be required to
show two years of in-state residency. Existing growers will be grandfathered in. Oregon Live notes that, currently, some 1,900 Oregon patients (including Willie Nelson) list out-ofstate addresses—about 2.6 percent of the total patient rolls. As for growers, about 630 are from other states. In both cases, most out-ofstate folk taking advantage of Oregon’s medical marijuana market are from neighboring states, including California, Washington, and Idaho. The most striking example of this out-of-state influence, according to Oregon Live, is that the largest Oregon grow site serves 104 patients—all from California.

“Last year the zucchini crop was really good and somebody left three bushels in my kitchen.” “Oh.” Jaylen deflated. So there was an enemy he wasn’t a match for. “There’s still zucchini bread in the freezer,” Westley offered. “If you’re hungry.” -Ryan Loveless, Wolf Hunter
