—Sean Rule 1

MYTH OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING Affordable housing should be seen for what it is, namely a myth. And it’s not just a myth in Bend, but all over the country as well. As more and more wealth flows into an area, along with developers to tear down the older, cheaper housing and replace it with upscale expensive units for the wealthy, the economic principles of supply and demand dictate that prices will increase. Not to mention landlords continuing to raise rents on already existing rentals until they are no longer affordable for working class people. Eventually the low-income folks will be driven out, with many ending up homeless on the streets. This is not the problem of the developers, however; their problem is to make as much money as they can and they know building affordable housing for low-income working people is not the way to do it. The problems of affordable housing and homelessness really need to be examined within the context of our society in general. We see a breakdown in every institutional aspect of our society, from families to churches and schools where teachers have almost no relationship with one another or the families of the students. Commercial institutions have almost no relationship with the communities in which they are located. There is a breakdown in the spirituality of the country. No one has any responsibility for anyone else, other than to the bank or the corporations. Ultimately the nation has lost all its meaning and surrendered it to the corporations. They now have all the meaning that has any meaning. Within this context our society has come to accept homelessness and other social problems as issues that can’t be solved, even though there are many other countries around the world that don’t have these problems. That is not a concern of most Americans, however, given their primarily provincial view of the world. Until the majority of Americans become truly concerned about affordable housing and eradicating homelessness, the situation can only worsen. The sad truth is that most Americans couldn’t care less about these issues as they are too concerned about their number one priority of making money. —Marco

IMMIGRATION ISSUES I have always been impressed with the willing-

If it’s “an historic”, old Doc Brown misspoke in Back To The Future. And, well, I can’t live with that.

ness of The Source to write comprehensive articles relating to various issues, many of them controversial. After the election denying illegal aliens in Oregon the right to have a driver’s license, I was “taken aback” by an editorial comment in The Source that the vote was “xenophobic.” Many biologists have long warned that we have reached our limits on population and should be limiting immigration numbers. In addition, I have submitted two fact-based letters regarding immigration which have not been published. I hope The Source does not have an open border policy. The immigration data in my letters could easily be verified. I will make another attempt. Rep. Knute Buehler is quoted in The Source newspaper as saying that Donald Trump is “uninformed, out of touch, and has no place as a leader in the Republican Party.” These remarks evidently stem from remarks that Trump made earlier in the month indicating many illegal Mexican immigrants “are drug dealers and rapists.” From the Oregon Department of Corrections: In 2014, there were 878 Mexican and 71 South American criminal aliens in Oregon’s prisons. From Federation of American Immigration Reform: In 2013, over 66 illegal immigrants from Mexico to South America were convicted for rape, murder, and drug trafficking. Illegal immigrants constitute over 20 percent of the Federal Prison population. From the July 19th Bend Bulletin from Mark Thiessen column, Washington Post: Between 2010 and 2014 the Obama Administration released over 121 criminal aliens who had criminal and deportation charges against them and later were charged with homicide. Many illegal aliens are hardworking and honest. This is little comfort to those families who have lost a loved one to an individual who should not have been in our country in the first place. Our Representative in Congress and many news sources do not want to talk about this problem. It will be interesting to see if Knute Buehler will be willing to address the problems associated with immigration. —Doug Johnson

IN REPLY TO “OUT TO DRY” (8/26) AND “LETTERS” (9/3) There’s a saying “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. It certainly applies in the case of Water Watch and Center for Biological Diversity threatening to sue over Oregon Spotted Frog Habitat. Erin Rook was right. Some 20 stakeholders including Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Deschutes River Conservancy, Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, Trout Unlimited, irrigation districts, and US Fish and Wildlife are collaborating to conserve water and improve habitat for OSF, Steelhead, and Bull Trout. Working group meetings continue

regularly. Patrons of irrigation districts (our neighbors, friends, farmers, ranchers, local organic food growers) understand the importance of balanced river/community sustainable policies. They care about our environment and communities. They are actively doing their part to protect both, dedicating millions of dollars towards habitat improvement. Multiple projects have already led to permanent return of 50,000 acre-feet of water per year for instream uses. Additional projects are underway to increase water conservation & improve habitat. These are hardly “purported solutions”. Lawsuits could dismantle this positive work. Improved habitat for Bull Trout, Steelhead, AND Oregon Spotted Frogs will be the loser. Reasons for OSF decline are not limited to flow. Reasons include invasion of non-native plants and fish, natural succession of plant communities from marshes to meadows, loss of marshes, and overgrazed streamside vegetation. Effective conservation measures include eliminating invasive bullfrogs, warm-water game fish, and non-native plant species, and maintaining healthy aquatic habitats.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Gladys—We agree that collaboration is better than conflict, and when lawsuits get filed, typically lawyers are the only ones who win. However, since collaboration and conservation are so very time consuming and energy intensive, you’ll need to be caffeinated to make it through all those working-group meetings.

1. Fire isn’t always bad. Fires can be beneficial to forests. By eliminating undergrowth, wildfires create openings in the forest, which enable diverse vegetation growth that provides fruit, seeds, and nectar for wildlife to thrive. Fires also create standing dead trees (snags) that many animals rely on for food and shelter. Dry ponderosa pine forests actually need fire to control undergrowth and reduce competition for water and nutrients. However, while fire is often beneficial to forests, unnaturally severe fires—particularly near homes and communities—are a serious problem. 2. Humans have made forest fires worse. By removing the old-growth, planting dense stands of young trees, and suppressing natural fires, we have created unnaturally flammable conditions in many forests. Old-growth trees, with their thick bark and tall trunks that keep the forest canopy safely above the flames, are much more fire-resistant than smaller, younger trees with thin bark and canopies close to the ground. We also make matters worse by suppressing natural fires, which causes fuel loads to build up and increase the risk of an unnaturally severe fire. 3. Climate change could increase risks. Scientists predict that climate change will bring hotter, drier summers to the Pacific Northwest, together with less snowfall in the mountains during the winter months. Combined, these could significantly increase fire severity. The best way to combat this challenge is to restore and protect more old-growth forests across the landscape. Not only are old-growth trees more fire resistant, but they also capture and store tremendous amounts of carbon dioxide. 4. Many forests need restoration. Oldgrowth logging and fire suppression have left many forests unnaturally dense. Restoration-based thinning projects that focus on dense young stands and seek to restore old-growth conditions can be beneficial in making forests more fire resilient. Efforts like the Glaze Meadow restoration thinning project near the town of Sisters have reduced fire risks while improving habitat for fish and wildlife. In an old-growth forest, controlled burning can reduce fuel loads and maintain environmental health while reducing the risk of unnaturally severe fires. With proper restoration techniques including thinning and prescribed burning wildfire could cease to be the terrifying event that we think it is today. Instead, natural fires would be mostly the low-intensity ground fires that renew the forest in the ways it’s adapted to. (See more in our Eastside Restoration Handbook.)

5. Protecting homes doesn’t mean logging the backcountry. Thinning projects can reduce the risk of fire to homes and communities, but only when they are done carefully and in the right places. Unfortunately, the Forest Service and other agencies, under pressure from politicians and the logging industry, often have misplaced priorities, and spend millions in federal tax dollars trying to log in remote backcountry areas rather than prioritizing thinning forests near homes and communities. 6. Logging in recovering areas makes things worse. Logging corporations often demand that the Forest Service and other agencies allow “salvage logging”—including old-growth logging—after forests burn. This controversial practice allows bulldozers and other heavy equipment into fragile recovering areas, where they clear-cut both live and dead trees. Such logging destroys snags and wildlife habitat, interferes with the development of future healthy forests, damages fragile soil, and sends mud and sediment into the rivers and streams we rely on for clean drinking water. Scientists have found that letting nature take its course is the best way to help a forest recover after fire. 7. Simple steps can help homeowners prepare. Homeowners who live near forests can reduce risks to their property with a number of simple steps. Keep trees and shrubs pruned away from buildings and structures, use fire-resistant roofing material, mow the grass around the home, clean leaves and other debris out of gutters, and move firewood, propane tanks, and other flammable materials at least 50 feet away. Industry uses fires to advance its agenda. Politicians, the clearcutting industry, and the news media often focus on wildly sensational stories about forest fires, making them sound far worse than they really are. For example, media outlets covering the 1988 fires in Yellowstone National Park described the forest as “charred,” “blackened,” “devastated,” and “ruined.” Yet today, park biologists say the fires rejuvenated Yellowstone and did more to improve the health of the land than any other event in the last 100 years. Fires are a natural part of typical dry Oregon summers and should be reported calmly and factually, without excessive hyperbole and hysteria.

Happy 15th Birthday to The Steens Mountain Wilderness

SIDE NOTES by Lisa Seales

Celebrate the momentous occasion at ONDA’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival

The City of Bend is currently accepting applications for an open position on the Bend Planning Commission. Planning Commission members are appointed by City Council to review and make recommendations regarding land use throughout the city. If you’re a resident of Bend, this is an excellent chance to help shape our city as it grows. Please see www.bendoregon/committees for more information and application materials. The City will be accepting applications until 5 p.m. on Friday, September 25. See the Wild & Scenic Film Festival at the Tower Theatre, 10/2. Photo by Forrest Kaye.

he term “wilderness” typically conjures up images of a forested landscape buried deep in the mountains of Oregon. Fifteen years ago a new type of Oregon wilderness was born when the Steens Mountain Wilderness was so designated by Congress in 2000, via the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management & Protection Act. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the 170,000acre desert wilderness is home to elk, mule deer, cougars, the greater sage-grouse, golden eagles, falcons, pronghorn, and other wildlife. “Thanks to the hard work of many fifteen years ago, Steens Mountain remains a place of magnificent beauty, grand vistas, and rich wildlife habitat,” said Brent Fenty, executive director of the Oregon Natural Desert Association. “ONDA today remains committed to a vital Steens Mountain. That includes diligent efforts to restore streams, remove obsolete fence, and, when needed, take action to defend the integrity of the Steens Mountain Wilderness.” According to Fenty, ONDA came to be as a result of a diverse group of residents converging to share their love of Oregon’s deserts. “They were driven to action by their conviction that the government’s recent inventory of wild desert lands had missed a huge chunk of the places that they knew and loved,” said Fenty. “Sure enough, when they banded together to take up their own inventory of Oregon’s wild places, it was confirmed that there are nearly eight million acres of wilderness-quality land in Eastern Oregon.” With that inventory came the realization that, without a group dedicated to protect, defend, and restore these wild desert lands, they could be lost forever. So, ONDA was born. Easily mistaken as a chain of mountains, Steens is one contiguous monolith. The largest fault-block mountain in North America, it stretches for 30 miles with

summits that reach a vertical mile that all overlook the Alvord Desert. Especially known for its four U-shaped, ice age era, glacier-carved gorges, which are surrounded by aspen stands that glow red and gold in autumn, the designated wilderness area hosts more than 100,000 visitors a year to hunt, fish, camp, bird watch, hike, and more. Half-mile deep trenches gouged through layers of hard basalt resulted in The Kiger, Little Blitzen, Big Indian, and Wildhorse Gorges. The famous notch in the east ridge of Kiger Gorge formed during a later glaciation when a small glacier in Mann Creek Canyon eroded through the ridge top. Finally, internal pressures forced the east edge of the Steens upward. Bend resident, Karl Findling, owner and co-founder of Oregon Pack Works, has over 34 years of hunting, backpacking, and outdoor experience, and is a frequent visitor to the Steens. “I hunt, fish, hike, bike, ski, and snowmobile in the Steens,” said Findling, who is also a member of the Steens Mountain Advisory Council, representing mechanized and consumptive groups. As part of the congressional action forming the wilderness, the SMAC is a 12-member council that provides advice to the BLM regarding land management, programs, and incentives to improve the wilderness landscape and the development of a management plan for the area. Findling, a paramedic and professional firefighter as well, found himself fighting wildland fires in the Steens for the BLM while putting himself through college in 1984 and 1985. But for pure recreation, Findling is drawn to the Kiger Gorge, especially its east-face viewpoint known as the East Rim. For hiking, Findling recommends Wildhorse Lake, and for fishing he might be found anywhere along the Donner und Blitzen river. The Blitzen River Trail is one way to experience the river, beginning at the southern

tip of Page Springs Campground at the base of Steens Mountain, following the river to its junction with Fish Creek. There are many fishing spots along the way, and the BLM highly recommends visitors “catch and release” the beautiful redband trout so as to preserve the unique species. Overnight backpacking is available at established primitive campsites found within the canyon. “Those are the highlights and largest attractions,” noted Findling. “And, the fall is always great with the large aspen groves ablaze with color.” To celebrate the wilderness’s 15th anniversary, ONDA is hosting two screenings of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, presenting the year’s best outdoor adventure and conservation films. Selected films will take viewers to the sands of Namibia, the top of the Grand Tetons, and down the Colorado River. It will also include the premiere of ONDA’s new film about the Greater Hart-Sheldon Region, Sagebrush Sisters. Celebrating the Steens, the festival will include sweet treats, a photo booth, a photo contest, and recognition of the hard work many put into ensuring this landscape remains intact for future generations. All in the spirit of celebrating Oregon’s deserts. “Oregon is home to a wild desert landscape that has touched many souls,” noted Fenty. “Whether it is the smell of sagebrush, the warmth of the desert sun, or wild rivers that draw you, the beauty and solitude of Oregon’s high desert is unparalleled.” To get to the Steens: Head to Burns and then take State Highway 78 southeast for approximately two miles. Turn right onto State Highway 205 and travel south for 60 miles to Frenchglen, turning left onto the Steens Mountain Loop Road.

This is due to changes in the billing structure, which were put into effect by a City Council Resolution late last year, and were finally rolled out as of July 1. The impact is hitting your mailbox, and quite possibly your bank account. Water utility fees are now calculated based on consumption, rather than everyone being charged a flat fee for 400 cfs like they were in the past, regardless of use. Although there is still a base rate (typically $22-$25 for residential accounts), residents are now being charged for exactly what they consume, which means that it pays to conserve water. Sewer charges are now also calculated according to use. Volume charges are based on a winter quarter average, calculated from water consumption in the billing periods of December, January, and February of each year. So if you’re gasping at the sight of your utility bill, you might give it some thought when you turn on the tap. If you’re interested in learning more about how to conserve water, check out the City’s Water Wise program at http://www.bend. or.us/index.aspx?page=1085. Deschutes County was recently awarded the Drug Free Communities Grant. The county was one of only two Oregon communities to receive the award, which will provide The Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention much needed support to prevent and reduce youth substance use.

Will an unprecedented collaborative effort and lots of tax dollars be enough to finally save sage grouse? By Lisa Seales and Jodi Peterson

f you’re anything like me, any mention of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) conjures up images of bumper stickers that say, “Save a logger, eat an owl!” Growing up in Oregon in the late 20th century, the ESA, and specifically the listing of the spotted owl, meant economic and community devastation and LOTS of conflict. A quarter of a century later, new lessons are being learned, and a new era of conservation is upon us. Chances are if you’ve lived in Central Oregon for any length of time, or one of the other ten western states that are sage grouse habitat, you’ve probably heard about the bird and its plight. Sage grouse inhabit sagebrush steppe, which used to be plentiful in our neck of the woods. Before European settlement, sagebrush covered more than 500,000 square miles; today, oil and gas development, renewable

energy projects, subdivisions, wildfire, invasive species, and poorly managed grazing have whittled it down to about 250,000 square miles scattered across 11 states. Perhaps 400,000 grouse survive, down from as many as 16 million. Many species, when shouldered off their preferred habitats, can make a living elsewhere— robins, coyotes, mule deer. But sage grouse are exceedingly sensitiv and can be disturbed by human activity near breeding areas; alarmed by trees and tall structures where raptors can perch. They’re loyal to the places they know, even if those places are no longer suitable. Matt Holloran, chief scientist at Wildlife Management Research Support, describes how one female grouse in western Wyoming laid eggs in the same general spot each year as a major natural gas field rose up around her. When a well pad replaced her nest site, she finally moved—but just 30 feet away. This sensitivity makes greater sage grouse a strong indicator of ecosystem health: If they’re not thriving across the vast Interior West, then things look bad for the region’s 350 other species, from sagebrush obligates like the sage thrasher and pygmy rabbit, to seasonal migrants like sandhill cranes and elk, according

to Jennifer Hayward, Pinedale district conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)—the umbrella agency for the Sage Grouse Initiative (SGI). The sage grouse’s huge range and lack of adaptability complicate things, and the myriad threats it faces—many related to industries that define Western rural economies and identity—make wielding the law a much trickier prospect. Conservative politicians have for years sought to gut the ESA, and many conservationists worry a sage grouse listing would provoke fiercer attack—a prospect underscored by recent congressional attempts to boot several creatures off the list altogether and block funding for others. But in 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made a decision that set in motion what many are calling a landmark transformation in how the nation recovers imperiled wildlife. Ordinarily, the sage grouse’s situation might land it on the federal endangered species list, ushering in much-feared land-use restrictions. But the agency declined to list the bird, not because it didn’t need protection—listing was warranted, it declared—but because other creatures needed it more. Instead, the agency promised to make a final call on sage grouse by September 30 of this year. That court-ordered deadline has been a galvanizing force for grouse conservation like no other. The federal government and the states have partnered with industry, landowners, and environmental nonprofits to protect habitat, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on everything from setting aside vast swaths of sagebrush to cutting down junipers and poisoning ravens. The Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service are cooperating with each other and with the states to protect habitat across tens of millions of acres. If they succeed in doing a good enough job, they may prove that the Endangered Species Act works best when it never goes into effect at all. “I see a lot of people working hard together. Relationships have formed among people who never used to talk,” says John Freemuth, professor of public policy at Boise State University. Still, it remains to be seen whether those relationships will survive once crisis mode has passed, or whether the feel-good collaboration will be enough to save the long-suffering grouse. “This is a pivotal Western moment,” Freemuth says. “In 30 years, how will we be writing about this? How did the trajectory change?” ... continues on page 11

That’s where the Sage Grouse Initiative comes in. Tim Griffiths, the program’s national coordinator from 2010 until July 2015, knows from experience how endangered species struggles can breed mistrust. He was a Fish and Wildlife biologist in Klamath Falls in 2001 and 2002, when farmers’ irrigation water was turned off to protect salmon—prompting a near-insurrection—and then turned on while salmon fry died by the thousands. “Wildlife was pitted against agriculture,” he recalls, “and in the end, nobody won.” He remained convinced that the two could be reconciled, and in Montana in 2004, he got the chance to prove it with a fish called the fluvial Arctic grayling, which was headed for an emergency listing. Griffiths and State Conservationist Dave White, now both working for the NRCS, helped channel Farm Bill dollars into efforts to keep more water in a stretch of the Big Hole River and improve its quality by helping ranchers move feedlots and restore riparian areas. It was the first time that the NRCS had set aside a dedicated pool of money from its own wildlife habitat incentive programs to help with a broader species conservation initiative. Those voluntary efforts worked so well that the agency decided to apply the approach to a species with a much bigger range: The greater sage grouse. Now funded with Farm Bill money through 2018, the Sage Grouse Initiative works with more than 75 partners, including state wildlife departments, energy companies, and nonprofit groups. So far, the initiative and its partners have invested about $425 million in projects involving 1,200 landowners, with greater reach than an endangered species listing could achieve. The stats seem impressive: 400,000 acres of important grouse range have been cleared of encroaching conifers, which provide perches for predators and crowd out sagebrush. Ranchers now maintain taller grass on 2.6 million acres—which the initiative says bumps up nesting success by 10 percent. At least 500 miles of fencing have been moved or marked,

reducing often-fatal collisions with wires by more than 80 percent. And more than 450,000 acres have been placed in conservation easements, permanently protecting most of them from subdivisions and wind farms, and substantially reducing the threat of oil and gas development. Many conservation groups, especially the large mainstream ones, regard the federal plans as a huge improvement. “It’s achieved a lot of what we hoped it would achieve,” says Nada Culver, director of The Wilderness Society’s BLM Action Center. “Compared to other planning efforts we’ve seen, these plans provide more certainty, more landscape-scale cooperation, and more actual protection.” Yet despite all the plans, projects, and collaborations, it’s hard to tell if the conservation actions undertak-

en by states, the Sage Grouse Initiative, or any other group will bump up grouse numbers over the long haul. The birds are fairly long-lived and reproduce slowly, and their populations tend to cycle, hitting natural highs and lows over many years. A recent study for the Pew Charitable Trusts, for example, found that bird numbers dropped a whopping 56 percent between 2007 and 2013. In August, though, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies reported that they’ve climbed by two-thirds since that time. It may take decades to average out such spikes and dips; many biologists think the overall trend is either stable or downward. “Sage grouse declines are not as dramatic as they were 70 years ago,” says Holloran, who’s studied grouse since the ’90s. “But overall there still seems to be a decline.” Clait Braun, the biologist who helped raise early alarms about grouse, is similarly skeptical. “I have no confidence that anything anyone is doing is working,” he says. Wildlife species need connectivity to maintain healthy genetics, and scattered areas of high-priority habitat are not enough to provide that. Nor do any

plans set aside large permanent reserves, protected from all development. Voluntary conservation efforts fall short, since many, especially those undertaken by industry, aren’t measured to see what they’re actually accomplishing. Braun sees the Sage Grouse Initiative as less an effective way to conserve grouse than a taxpayer-funded subsidy program for ranchers. “It’s a slick PR effort, but I fail to see the results. There’s no data to show that grouse numbers have increased or that their distribution has increased.” Within 30 years, he predicts, the birds will persist only in tiny, widely dispersed populations. However, here in Oregon, Sagebrush Ecosystem Specialist for the NRCS, Jeremy Maestas, remains optimistic. While acknowledging that it’s going to take time to determine how sage grouse populations respond to conservation efforts, Maestas points to a songbird study that was published just last week as an early indicator of environmental success and the effectiveness of restoration work. The two-year study demonstrates huge increases in songbirds of high conservation concern, which are equally important in sagebrush steppe. Following restoration activities, such as the removal of invading conifers, the abundance of Brewer’s sparrow and green-tailed towhee increased 55 and 81 percent respectively. Maestas says, “that study to me is our first solid evidence here in Oregon that the work we’re doing is on the right track.” But what if the sage grouse is listed at the end of the month? What does that mean for conservation? Tom Christiansen, Wyoming’s lead sage grouse scientist, puts it more bluntly: “What message would it send to our society,” he asks, “if the largest conservation effort ever undertaken failed?” Even if the grouse is listed, it doesn’t mean that “the largest conservation effort ever undertaken” has failed, because the effort itself is likely to define the terms of the listing—possibly even making it stronger than what the agency would have developed on its own. The Fish and Wildlife Service would lean heavily on the existing work when it puts together its own recovery plans. And the private land agreements designed to help grouse would remain in place. The sage grouse, in other words, has already flown. Additionally, due to a budget rider passed by Congress last December, things are unlikely to change anywhere anytime soon. While the agency will be able to announce whether the sage grouse is or is not still a candidate for listing at the end of the month, if the bird warrants protection, the agency is blocked from developing a rule to protect it as threatened or

More than one-third of sage grouse range is on private land, where the Endangered Species Act holds little sway. The law prohibits harming protected species, for example, but it can’t force landowners to undertake conservation projects that might help those species recover. Meanwhile, the Fish and Wildlife Service is plagued with tight budgets and has a long line of species waiting for recovery. There are more than 1,200 on the list, and 250 candidates await final determinations, some for more than a decade. States, on the other hand, can move faster, and have greater on-the-ground expertise than the federal agency.

species protects other creatures that share the same habitat—an approach that the agency has continued to concentrate on. The Fish and Wildlife Service itself realizes that this kind of effort, with engagement from landowners, industry, and every level of government, can result in the kind of landscape-scale conservation needed to preserve not just a single species, but entire ecosystems. “The success is in the partnerships,” Pat Deibert, the Fish and Wildlife Service’s national sage grouse coordinator, says. “I’m hopeful that eventually, even if folks don’t agree a particular species is of value, they’ll realize it’s a good business decision for them to do conservation.”

“that change gives me enough confidence that we’ ve turned the titanic and the listing decision is not the end of the story,it’ s just the beginning of our long term commitment towards the health of the ecosystem.”

Maestas also states, “We’re in it for the long haul, it’s a new way of life in terms of collaboration, rather than conflict.” Since we’re talking about large landscapes, it’s going to take a sustained effort over the long term. Fortunately, he feels that we’ve got the buy-in to be successful, which comes from demonstrating that this isn’t just about the one species. “It’s not just about grouse, it’s about sustainable rangeland.” All of these are important lessons regarding conservation, which could be transferable to other species as well. Maestas articulates that there have been lots

Indeed, that’s already happening at the NRCS. “There’s a big shift in the wind here that’s really good,” says Jason Weller, head of the NRCS. Within the past year, the Oregon chub was delisted, saved by voluntary landowner conservation that the NRCS helped foster. As with sage grouse, protecting these

No matter what happens with the listing decision at the end of the month, when talking about these newer approaches to conservation Maestas sums it up nicely by saying, “Our generation is going to be making a serious impact for all those future generations coming after us, and that’s what gets me excited.” This article was a collaboration between High Country News and Lisa Seales, editor-at-large, for the Source Weekly

Taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, the SGI can be seen as a new paradigm in conservation and resource management. Rather than the animosity, mistrust, and suspicion that have plagued ESA listings in the past, such as the spotted owl, perhaps SGI demonstrates there are better ways to facilitate species conservation. Maestas notes that one of the most positive things to come out of SGI is the unbelievable response from all the partners to proactively solve problems. This initiative has galvanized support from federal to the local levels, and forged relationships between government agencies and local landowners.

SOUND Preaching From the Choir

The Portland Gay Men’s Chorus is bringing love back to town

THE SOURCE

SUGGESTS By Anne Pick

By Josh Gross

“The Portland Gay Men’s Chorus posted [“Sure on This Shining Night”], a song that I had always wanted to sing,” Jung says. “It’s just an amazing piece. And that they could pull it off was very impressive to me.” Jung says that focus on musicality as much as on identity was a rare and special thing that truly impressed him. He decided right then and there that if he ever moved to Portland, he would have to join.

“We’ve sung in smaller communities where we haven’t been welcomed initially, but once we do, the community becomes more welcoming and we do see a change. Now we get good turnouts because people want to come to see us perform.” That missionary paradigm goes back to the chorus’s very founding, a decade after the Stonewall Riots in New York. Founded in 1980, the PGMC was the nation’s fourth chorus, just after San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City gay choruses.

gets better.” The choral outreach has been so effective at connecting with people that they’ve spread across the globe. Jung says he just heard about a new gay chorus in Beijing. But there is one problem with that strategy, though it’s the best kind of problem an advocacy and outreach organization like the PGMC could hope to have. “We’ve done such a great job of expressing and growing the community, that we’re now asking how do we continue to grow?” says Jung. With marriage equality now the law of the land in the US, and the fight against AIDS now out of the shadows, Jung says the group is working to illuminate issues like workplace discrimination, which is still legal in 27 states.

So a little more than a year ago he did just that. And then five weeks ago, he was hired as PGMC’s executive director, no small thing for a Colorado kid. First off, the chorus has more than 160 singing members and more than 200 volunteers, which is a pretty deep bench. And also because Jung is the organization’s first E.D. in a decade.

It’s not all politics, though. The Bend performance is a return of one of PGMC’s most popular programs, a selection of songs from ABBA and Experience ABBA and Queen like never before at First Presbyterian Church, 9/19.

Dance Yourself Clean takes its successful indie pop dance party on the road by Eric Skelton

“I

t’s a really simple concept,” explains Joel Albers, the mastermind behind a series of weekly dance parties called Dance Yourself Clean. “We turn the lights out, turn the fog up to 11, and let the music speak for itself. It’s a no-frills dance party.”

Albers and his fellow DJs didn’t need to be fancy when they started Dance Yourself Clean in a tiny Seattle bar in early 2013. That would have distracted from their fairly straightforward mission. “We took the blogosphere indie pop world and brought it to a dance party,” Albers simply puts it. Based on firsthand experience, Albers was familiar with how rewarding (and addicting) it is to discover music on your own terms through blogs and streaming services. No longer forced to leave your musical exposure up to people like the program director at your local radio station, the power shifts to your own hands. You can find music that personally connects to you on your own terms. The only drawback seems to come when you want to experience that same feeling with other people out in a physical setting.

“To come across a night that’s curated in that same fashion and to be surrounded by people that all feel the same way as you is really unique.” Exploring the world of music blogs while writing for the popular site theburningear. com, Albers was drawn to the exciting youthful energy of modern indie pop—an accessible subgenre of pop music that

“If you wanted to go to a place to dance, the only real options were EDM or hip-hop. We would go out and settle for that, but it wasn’t ideal,” says Albers. “You could go to bars and you might hear MGMT or Phantogram or CHVRCHES being played, but it would be at a lounge

parties had grown beyond the cities they were operating in, they decided to take Dance Yourself Clean on the road this fall—and some talented friends will be joining them. In addition to the usual DJ sets, buzzing indie pop bands POWERS, Body Language, and Collaj will perform as well. Except, in a role reversal from tradition, the bands will be opening up for the DJs on this tour. Albers and the rest of Dance Yourself Clean understand why people wait in lines that stretch around the block to get into their parties. They realize it isn’t just a show. It’s a way for people to sing and dance to their favorite songs in a room with people they otherwise may not have been able to find. It’s about giving people a chance to find community. It’s about standing over a puddle of spilled beer in a dark sweaty room, screaming every word of your favorite song at a total stranger as they look you in the eyes and scream every word right back at you.

It would be background music. We just wanted to start a dance party with our favorite music.” Alongside longtime friend Scott Patnode, Dance Yourself Clean was born when Albers started playing the music he had discovered online at Therapy Lounge in Seattle (a bar he describes as “no larger than your parent’s living room”). Before long, their simple but innovative approach had attracted crowds much larger than what could fit in that little room. By 2015, Dance Yourself Clean had expanded to regular nights in Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle (with a Brooklyn version beginning in October). Realizing that the demand for these

“At the end of the day, what works for us is the very thing that we originally started the night for: just playing our favorite music. That’s what people want,” Albers says. “At Dance Yourself Clean, you’ll actually be able to hear Phantogram played in its entirety without a DJ over mixing it or cutting songs short. People don’t want to hear someone chop and screw their favorite song. They want to hear it as close to the original as possible. It’s all really simple.”

Take a Ride on Cascades East Transit

Taking transit in Bend will be easier beginning September 21! With three new routes arriving to Cascades East Transit, improved Saturday service, later evening hours of operation and shorter wait timesâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; riding transit just got a lot more convenient. Check out Route 7, one of the new routes on the east side of Bend for direct access to the medical district, including St. Charles and other health care clinics. For college students, Routes 10 and 12 provide access to the new OSU-Cascades Campus. Route 10 begins at Hawthorne Station and travels to OSU-Cascades via downtown, while Route 12 provides a direct link between the COCC and OSU campuses for dualenrolled students. Everyone leads busy lives, and public transit should be available after 6 p.m., so CET is extending evening weekday hours to 8 p.m. And, best of all, the wait times will be shorter! For most routes, buses will arrive within 30 minutes. All of our buses are equipped with bike racks and are wheel chair accessible. Whether you walk, ride or roll to catch the bus, we can take you where you need to go.

Biking in Beautiful Bend By Dr. Nathan Boddie, Bend City Councilor

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 17, 2015 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Bend is a popular place to live. It’s experienced a rapid growth rate over the last several of years. The U.S. Census Bureau reported earlier this year that the Bend area was among the nation’s fastest-growing from 2013 to 2014. A 10 percent growth rate is estimated over the next 20 years. Plus, Bend’s popularity as a travel destination continues to grow as well. More residents and visitors will likely mean more cars on the road and increased traffic congestion. The good news is that there are multiple ways to easily travel around Bend without a car and beat the traffic—like biking. Bend offers many good bike routes throughout the city, plus bike racks can be found throughout downtown and at neighborhood eateries and shops and worksites, too. And, you don’t need a lot of special equipment—with just a lock, helmet and lights you’re ready to go. Biking, of course, is also good for you. Regularly riding a bike can make a big difference in your overall health. Getting in as short as even a 15-20 minute ride will get the heart rate up and increase metabolism. The cardiovascular activity biking provides helps reduce weight gain, the risk of stroke and other lifethreatening diseases and adds to longer life. This doesn’t mean you have to bike all the time…just aim to ride on a regular basis like commuting to work or school by bike twice or more a week, or running errands by bike. Plus, the benefits of biking aren’t just about health. It’s also about having more fun…biking is a good way to squeeze in some enjoyment into your day, while getting where you need to go and what you need to get done. Having the time to unwind and decompress after a long day as you ride home from work can be a great stress-reliever. And, going by bike gives us a better sense of place…we tend to experience far more about the place we call home. So, hop on a bike and discover what all you can get by driving less.

Bike There!

Burn calories instead of gas by biking! Biking is good for your waistline and your wallet. You don’t need a lot of special equipment—even with just a lock, helmet and lights you’re ready to go.

Carpooling Cost Saver

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 17, 2015 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

After growing up in Eugene and graduating from the University of Oregon, Kim Daniels moved to Central Oregon. There, she started a job in marketing and advertising at the Les Schwab headquarters in Prineville. Little did she know that years later her five minute commute to work would turn into a 40 minute commute when Les Schwab moved its headquarters to Bend. Kim was faced with a choice. Uproot her two children from their home, school and friends and move to Bend to keep her commute down, or stay in Prineville. It would cost considerably more to make the daily drive into work—with gas prices hovering around $2.85 per gallon that’s a cost of $8.31 per day, which adds up to paying nearly $2,000 at the pump a year. “Prineville is small town, and it’s about family and community—everyone knows each other and we watch out for each other. And, it’s a very livable community, too. We walk everywhere together, and enjoy the quality time we get to share,” said Kim. “Plus, the cost of living in Prineville is less, and there isn’t the traffic.”

Kim chose to continue living in Prineville and to commute into Bend. But, rather than making the daily drive alone, she opted to share the ride and the cost with other co-workers, who had made the same choice. “Sharing the ride is great, and I generally only drive around five days a month. We all save money, plus there are other benefits, too,” said Kim. “We’ve become friends and enjoy our commute time together. Sometimes I catch a little more sleep in the morning on the drive into work, and it’s also nice to decompress with my carpool partners after a long day before getting home to put dinner on the table.” Kim added that carpooling has really saved her money, which is her biggest motivation. By carpooling even two days a week, she can save about $800 in a year in gas alone, which doesn’t even include the dollar savings on auto maintenance. Kim has saved thousands of dollars, created friendships, reduced her carbon footprint and even gotten in some extra sleep—all by carpooling.

Share the Ride & Cost! Your plan: Looking forward to your commute

8 Reasons to Join the 1. Small changes create big results. By walking to work, you will achieve your recommended 10,000 steps each day. 2. It’s good for the environment. Alternative commuting reduces traffic congestion, your carbon footprint, and air pollution. 3. Save some money. Vehicle maintenance + gas = $$$ 4. Too busy to make it to the gym? Forget the gym and skip the traffic by biking or walking to work. 5. Avoid the agony of parallel parking! 6. Bicycle commuters lose an average of 13 pounds in their first year of riding, without modifying eating habits. 7. Avoid the monster inside of you. We have all been frustrated by an inconsiderate driver. Avoid them while finding your inner zen. 8. Promote an active community. Let’s make Central Oregon an even healthier place to live!

Your plan:

GROUP | INDIVIDUAL | MEDICARE

Sharing the ride for work and play can save you money. And, not having to drive so much gives you time to relax, read a book or just wind down from a long work day.

HOW DO YOU TURN YOUR BIKE INTO A COMMUTER BIKE?

Choosing not to drive alone even one day a week can make a difference. It saves money, reduces traffic congestion and pollution. Plus, it’s fun, healthy and helps keep Central Oregon the livable place we all love! And, it’s not just about commuting to work. Ride the bus to Mt. Bachelor. Get around using CET (Cascades East Transit). Walk to the store. Carpool to a festival. Every trip counts! You can enjoy the benefits of choosing how to get around town. Let Commute Options help, because it really is easier than you might think!

September’s Oktoberfest returns By Jared Rasic

end and Germany have a lot in common; we both like beer, skiing, and are composed mostly of white people. We also both love celebrating Oktoberfest, even when it’s in September. In Germany, Oktoberfest is an annual celebration of traditional Bavarian food, music, and culture that lasts 16 full days, beginning in September and stretching well into its namesake month. In Bend, Oktoberfest is a fun, family-friendly event that brings Bend dwellers of all backgrounds together on the third Friday and Saturday of September. Come share and enjoy food, live entertainment, and special events inspired by the culture that brought us hot dogs, yodeling, and Christmas trees. This fall event has a little something for everyone, and even some things that no one would ever expect was for them, like the adorably-chaotic wiener dog races, or the ridiculously-badass Hammerschlagen competition, which according to Rod Porsche, the executive director of the Downtown Bend Business Association, is “a crowd favorite where contestants race to hammer a nail for prizes” (more entertaining than words can convey). The competition, manned by Natural Edge Furniture is a staple of the event.

Keith from Dump City Dumplings is particularly excited to share their German-inspired menu with festivalgoers who may or may not already be familiar with this popular downtown food cart. “We’ll be offering a dump-sized version of Bavarian Leberkase as well as a cheddar pierogi for Oktoberfest this year. Leberkase is basically German for awesome meat sandwich and contains beef, pork, and bacon, while the cheddar pierogi is all about onions, potatoes, and cheese. We’ll have the four-cheese pizza alongside the Oktoberfest inspired offerings.” The Wine Shop is running the official wine booth at the Oktoberfest for its fifth year! Owner Melanie Betti explains some of her wares: “We only pour authentic German and Austrian wine. This year we are pouring an Austrian Zweigelt (red), an Austrian rosé of Zweigelt (dry rosé), an Austrian Grüner Veltliner (dry white), a German Riesling (kabinett style), and a German Gewürtztraminer! The Wine Shop and Beer Tasting Bar has been in business for nine years now. We are a locally-run, family business. We believe in stocking and pouring the best quality wines from across the globe.

Taking Chances

By Alli Miles

2nd Street Theater goes for the gut By Jared Rasic

The puppet comedy, Avenue Q, continues through the weekend at the Tower Theatre, 9/17 - 9/19. Photo courtesy of Sandy Klein.

nd Street Theater not only has a jampacked 2016 season, but it still has plenty left for us in 2015 as its Season Showcase demonstrated. The house was full, the audience excited, and the almost three hours of material was very well prepared. For a sneak preview, it was impressive to see all the actors with lines memorized, as some of the pieces they were performing will not be staged for over a year. Without further delay, here is the lineup and some brief thoughts on each show.

For the rest of 2015 we have: Avenue Q: This is the last weekend to catch this brilliant and beautiful musical about puppets just trying to find their purpose. This show brings the term “community theater” to a new level. September 17 - 19, 7:30pm. The Tower Theatre. Evil Dead: The Musical: Back again for the first time since the show got an entirely new cast this year. Follow Ash and his friends while they attempt to survive the night as they battle the horrific Deadites. Beware the splatter zone! October 16 - 31, 7:30pm. October 18 and 25, matinee. October 31, midnight. The Night Before The Night Before Christmas: This is a new play by local playwright Cricket Daniel. When Lou and Carol, married for 45 years, decide to cancel Christmas and head for somewhere warmer than frigid New Jersey, Murphy’s Law raises its troublesome head. Daniel’s

plays tend to warm hearts, no matter the weather. December 3 - 19, 7:30pm. December 6 & 13, matinee.

New for 2016: 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche: It’s 1956 and at the annual quiche competition for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein, it might be the end of the world. Irreverent and smart, this show should appeal to anyone that enjoys a bit of fringe in his or her theater. January 15 - 23, 7:30pm. Next To Normal: The Pulitzer Prize winning, rock musical about a “typical” American family and what’s going on secretly in their minds. The five minutes of this show that were performed had me begging to see the rest of it. A very powerful work with some stunning music. February 12 - 27. Laguna Beach, Ohio: The winner of the 2015 national playwright competition sponsored by the American Association of Community Theaters. Old friends reunite at a beach house that carries many powerful memories. Insightful, funny, and beautifully acted, this could be a mustsee. March 25 - April 9. The Last Five Years: Another powerhouse musical from the 2nd Street Theater. This show is about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love, told through a reverse chronology that keeps the actors apart for most of the running time. May 13 - 28. I Am My Own Wife: A one-man show

about Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who survived the Nazi regime in East Germany during WWII. The ten minutes shown to the audience had everyone spellbound to the point of hearing a pin drop. Performance dates forthcoming. The Beatles Die on Tuesday: From local writer and actor Clinton Clark, the show follows brothers who have traveled back in time to 1954. One brother takes credit for all of the huge hits of the future, changing history forever. Hijinks ensue. August 19 - September 3. Cricket Daniel’s Unannounced 2016 Comedy: Still being written. September 23 - October 9. Young Frankenstein: Mel Brooks’ adaptation of his classic film into a stage musical. This should be a barnstormer of a show. October 29 - November 12. There is still room for a few more shows to be announced (and titled) over the coming year, but one thing is certain: As they have proven with Avenue Q and countless shows before it, 2nd Street Theater is in the business of taking chances with local playwrights, with edgy and dark theatre, and with us, the audience. They are taking a chance that we will come out to shows that might make us uncomfortable or depressed, and that we don’t always need something easy to wash down. Be challenged this year at 2nd Street Theater. You’re safe with them.

Following the likes of Lewis and Clark, Peter Skene Ogden, and Jedediah Smith, Fremont embarked on a route across the Continental Divide via South Pass (in present-day Wyoming), north around the Great Salt Lake and along the Snake River to the Columbia River and into Oregon. His goal was to map the second half of the Oregon Trail, as well as to explore the Great Basin in search of a route to the sea. After mapping Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood, Fremont and his party turned south, crossing through Central Oregon and continuing into California and Nevada before concluding the expedition once again at South Pass. Upon returning from his expedition, Fremont provided maps and detailed descriptions that expanded upon previous maps and knowledge of the West. He also concluded that the waterways of the Great Basin did not connect to the sea. His work was published by Congress and served as a guide to pioneers immigrating into Oregon and California during 1845-49, including the forty-niners during the California Gold Rush. Learn more about this controversial explorer and unlikely hero at the Des Chutes Historical Museum through the end of the year. In partnership with the Nevada State Museum, and incorporating artifacts from seven different collections, the “Finding Fremont” exhibit includes archaeological evidence of the party’s route, and features the Fremont howitzer abandoned in the Sierra Nevada winter on January 29, 1844.

ow through the end of the year, the Des Chutes Historical Museum highlights the story of John C. Fremont in its exhibit, “Finding Fremont: Pathfinder of the West.” Back in the days when the West was truly wild—and largely unexplored—Fremont, an American military officer and leading Western explorer, embarked on several expeditions into the Pacific Northwest, including one in 1843-44 that led him into Central Oregon.

Some Football With Your Beer CHOW Have Riverbend Brewing impresses By Jared Rasic 35 for an imperial. Oregonized Love IPA is piney and delectable, with a long, luxurious finish that needs a full pint to give up. The pumpkin ale shouts allspice during the nose, while the initial bite is filled with nutmeg, cinnamon, and some ginger, with a finish indistinguishable from a bite of pumpkin pie. Finally, the pilsner: Not

soft and salty with delicious melted Gouda and stone-ground ale mustard on the side. Great starters all around. The main meal consisted of a melted Gorgonzola bacon burger and the fish and chips. The locally-sourced bacon was crisp and thick, the St. Helens beef was perfectly cooked and melted in the mouth.

While Bend has a massive number of breweries to choose from, there aren’t many that are especially known for their food. Riverbend’s food game was strong enough to recommend it even if their beer game was off. Luckily, their 15-brew deep beer menu is on point, with one of the finest reds I have had locally in years. This place has been quietly and simply doing a damned good job for two years without much attention and that deserves to change.

A combination sports bar/ brewery is pretty novel. Getting a ton of locals for Ducks, NFL, and college games, while attracting the tourists on the ale trail covers all the bases. It’s a recipe for a four-quadrant success as long as the beer and food are good, right?

Even if a sports bar isn’t your scene, Riverbend will abide. While the place is shoulder-to-shoulder for Ducks games and certain NFL events, the place has a brewery vibe, even with all the sports memorabilia and televisions everywhere.

We ordered the beer flight, which came with Schwenk’s Classic Pilsner, Bibbidi Bobbidi BOO Pumpkin Ale, Oregonized Love IPA, Katatonic Imperial IPA, Right Said Red, BlackRiver Ale, and Session Blonde IPA German Horse Muffin SMASH.

Even the CEO of Riverbend, Gary Sobala, would rather be seen as a brewery than a sports pub. “We’re a brewery #1 and a sports bar #2,” Sobala says. “We would rather people say, ‘Let’s go to Riverbend for a beer and maybe there will be a game on,’ as opposed to, ‘Let’s go watch some sports and have a beer.’”

iverbend Brewing Company is a huge surprise. They’ve mostly been flying under the radar since they took over the space from Rivals Sports Bar two years ago, but the word of mouth has been consistently positive. The idea behind the place is a fairly brilliant one: Take the customer base left over from the previous sports bar, but hire a damnedgood brewer in Kyle Schwenk, and have a real menu with food that doesn’t come secondary to the beer.

When is Craft No Longer Craft? Buyout deals at Lagunitas and elsewhere give drinkers pause

“B

udweiser bought 10 Barrel Brewing in Bend, OR,” wrote Lagunitas Brewing Company founder Tony Magee on Twitter last November (spelling and grammar cleaned up for this article). “Not because they love craft. Because they wanna control craft beer. Friends of 10 Barrel cheer its owners’ ‘success’. I can’t blame them for being scared of doing it themselves; it’s scary and hard going it alone. There’s a storm out there, and beaching the boat on a windward shore has its benefits.” Ten months later, Magee announced that he was selling half his stake in the California-based craft-beer giant to Heineken International—making Lagunitas, at least by Brewers Association standards, no longer a craft brewery, since it’s over 25 percent owned by a macrobrewery. The Heineken partnership (which Magee wrote on his blog would “export the exciting vibe of American craft beer globally”) is part of a larger trend of buyouts and investment deals among America’s biggest local breweries that has “buy local” fanbases nationwide worried. The Belgian brewery Duvel Moortgat is the full owner of New Yorkbased Brewery Ommegang and also owns stakes in Missouri’s Boulevard Brewery and SoCal’s Firestone Walker. Oskar Blues, of the 32-ounce crowlers

and Lagunitas-style marijuana references in their beer names, is owned by an equity firm. Midwestern favorite Founders Brewing sold a 30 percent stake in itself last year to Spanish macro Mahou-San Miguel. And so on. What’s happening? Two things: Successful craft breweries need money to expand and keep up with massive demand, and never in the history of brewing have they been more valued by investors. “Anyone who does want to sell, should be selling right now,” Brooklyn Brewery co-founder Steven Hindy told CNBC last month. “Valuations are out of this world. There are people swarming all of us wanting to give us money. In a two-week period, I had 17 different private equity firms that called.” For those of us not running breweries, though, what does this mean? Ten months after joining the InBev family, neither 10 Barrel’s beer nor its audience has atrophied— its Beer Wars IPA Fest in August was packed to the gills yet again. But is it...different, drinking there now? Or would, say, Fresh Squeezed taste differently if Deschutes Brewery sold a stake in order to fund a new facility out East? Chemically speaking, that’s very unlikely. But as craft brewing increasingly grows out of its locavore, screw-themacros image, many drinkers are being rudely reminded that breweries, like any other business, can’t run on goodwill alone.

OWACentralOregon), which serves as a forum for organizing informal activities and talking gear or outdoor-related community events, or by signing up for the local email newsletter. Events are hosted by OWA Central Oregon periodically throughout the year, although anyone may organize and lead their own event. Informal meet-ups are often coordinated via the Facebook page, and official team events can be led by anyone in collaboration with the team leader. In its first year, some of OWA Central Oregon’s team activities included snowshoeing to the Virginia Meissner warming hut, hiking Tumalo Mountain, Mount Bachelor, and South Sister, and hosting a Standup Paddleboarding 101 event. OWA Central Oregon’s next big event is its Fall Gear Sale, coming up on October 18th at Rebound Physical Therapy on the Westside. The gear sale, which occurs twice each year, in the spring and fall, is an opportunity for women to come together to buy and sell outdoor gear, make a little money, or score a deal. While the gear sold is ladies’ only, the event itself is open to anyone and free of charge. Those wishing to sell their gently-used gear simply need to label it with their name, phone number, and price, and drop it off at the event between 9-11:30 am on October 18. The sale itself will take place from noon-4 pm, and all money collected will go to the sellers (none is collected by OWA). With the seasons changing, it’s a great opportunity to clean out unused gear or stock up on “new” gear at a great deal.

Established in 2007 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, OWA has been steadily growing its grassroots program by establishing local OWA chapters with locally-based leaders. The goal is to build communities and relationships by bringing women together through real-life activities, outings, workshops, and events. Now with six grassroots teams spread across the United States and Canada, OWA focuses on thoughtful, intentional growth by creating a strong foundation in each area with fully equipped team leaders before expanding to a new area. The Central Oregon grassroots team is based in Bend and is led by OWA team leader Elena Pressprich. Started just about a year ago, in the fall of 2014, OWA Central Oregon has already grown to 1,300 members and it welcomes all women who are interested in promoting or participating in human-powered activities in wild places. Pressprich sums up OWA Central Oregon’s first year: “I have seen such great things come out from the group in one year; many new women are making new friends and seeing new things together. Several have found new love for an

little motivation, encouragement, or camaraderie goes a long way when it comes to getting out and finding adventure, especially when trying something new. The Outdoor Women’s Alliance (OWA) is a global network with the mission of supporting women in the outdoors and offering them that little extra push to get outside and test their skills. The nonprofit seeks to encourage, educate, and engage females in human-powered adventure sports like SUPing, climbing, kayaking, skiing/snowboarding, backpacking, biking, and more, by building communities through networking and partnerships. OWA hopes that through all-women outdoor adventures, it can help women gain confidence and leadership skills that are applicable to all aspects of life.

• Master Level Trainer

“I’ve been strength training with Jamie for around 15 years. Most of that in San Diego, but when Jamie opened a Steele Bodies here in Bend just recently, I was elated since I hadn’t been training with anyone since moving to Bend in 2006. Through serious Triathalon training, Masters swimming, trail running and biking, and now, in my 60’s, just trying to stay in shape, teach yoga, keep my bones and body healthy and rehabbing after a recent knee injury - Jamie knows how to do it all! Jamie is a Master Level Trainer that excels in helping everyone reach their goals through a very knowledgable, safe and supportive application process, and frequently uses humor to make the trainings more enjoyable. It is a pleasure and privilege to work with Jamie and I whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone.” - Luanne Barrett, RN-Retired, Namaspa Yoga Instructor

“I am a professor at the University of California, San Diego. I started training with Jamie in 2012 after having had a labral repair on my shoulder. I was struggling to get back into the sports that I love - swimming, climbing and biking - because I had continued shoulder pain. Working with Jamie, I was able to get back to these sports, get a lot stronger and pain-free. Jamie has a real gift in assessing each person’s situation, and developing a workout program that helps them recover from injuries and build more strength and agility for daily life, as well as sports and athletics. In addition, he has a quirky sense of humor, which makes the workouts a hoot at times. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer!!!” - Dr. Emily Troemel - Troemel Lab, Univ. of California, San Diego

“I started training with Jamie two years ago, and at the beginning, I was unsure of how a personalized training program could benefit me. Jamie has proven through discipline, proper form/lifting techniques and the balance of upper body and lower body training, that at 50 years old, my strength and stamina are equal to when I was in my 20’s (and I was a Division 1 college athlete). Jamie has a well-defined and excellent understanding of applied physiology and exercise science, and has the knowledge, professionalism and guidance to help you reach all your fitness and health goals. I highly recommend him for any and all your health and fitness needs.”

“Jamie is in a class all his own when compared to other trainers I’ve worked with in the past. Jamie has taught me how to strengthen my body safely and effectively. I am always amazed at how he can alter exercises to make me push a little harder while always being aware of my personal limitations. I’m older that I was a few decades ago, but I am in the best physical condition I have ever been in my life. My body is strong and powerful. Jamie knows training!” - Dori M. - Educator

OUTSIDE Keep Mule Deer Out of NATURAL WORLD

Your Garden!

Mule deer—thanks in part to those residents who continue feeding them in their yards—are a bane to anyone trying to start or maintain a vegetable garden. Ask anyone in Sisters (in spite of the city ordinance against feeding deer) how much it costs to battle deer bent upon eating their garden and landscaping into oblivion, and you’ll get a big frown.

WHAT IS OUR DESTINY? deer bent upon eating all the native grasses she was trying to restore in the Metolius Preserve. Time and time again, week after week, Amanda planted more grasses and used this or that repellent, and each failed. She finally found one that worked, however, and the deer left her grasses alone—but the smell from the stuff was enough to gag a maggot. Deer have an excellent sense of smell, so

Mule deer are the property of the state. Therefore, in my way of looking at this situation, the state is responsible for the behavior of their animals. One mule deer can eat from 6-to-8 pounds of hay a day, I’ve been told the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife provides fencing for hay farmers to keep foraging deer from eating the hay farmer’s income, but what about those of us with deer plundering our kitchen gardens?

Perhaps it’s time to notify Photo courtesy of Jim Anderson ODFW that offending mule deer destroying one’s kitchen garden will be treated as personal livestock, and those repellants that contain predator therefore said deer is then found guilty urine and/or rotten eggs probably will of trespassing on private property and is work—until it rains, and it has to be legally harvested. applied again. There are a lot of websites for that stuff, and depending on how and No matter how you look at mule deer in our backyards, it is long past time for De- when they’re applied, it may be worth checking out. But then, I’ve also heard schutes County to pass a no-feeding deer that the methods for collecting such ordinance like that of Sisters. In time the animal repellants are not something to moochers will be chased off by pet dogs, discuss at the dinner table. or eliminated by hunting seasons, motor But, in the meantime, how do we keep deer from devouring our landscaping and kitchen gardens? Well, if you Google “Keeping deer out of your garden,” you’ll bring up a zillion products that the manufacturers swear will work. A sight I will never forget is that of Amanda Egertson, Deschutes Land Trust’s Stewardship Director, battling

Pat Callender up in BC says, “We have a ‘deer proof ’ recipe in Nanaimo, British Columbia, where they [deer] come wandering through our yards and eat everything in sight! It is as follows: 1 egg yolk [only], l liter of water, and 1 tablespoon if baking powder. Mix well and spray on shrubs, trees, and roses every two weeks. Keep in tightly sealed container in your fridge until all used up.” Another person added, “I find the eggs with Tabasco sauce works also. I’ll add garlic to my next batch. 1 gallon water, 6 eggs, and Tabasco to taste!!” But then another person warned about unintended results from the egg and garlic goop, “The egg mixture truly works on deer, and it drives the buzzards crazy looking for road kill. They [the buzzards] landed on my fence and looked for hours for their dinner.”

Looking at the amount of forage a deer requires daily amounts to a lot of carrots, lettuce, spinach, raspberry plants, landscaping—or for some brave soul who thinks he can get way with growing it here—corn. So, one could ask, why doesn’t ODFW provide fencing for all Deschutes County residents who want to grow veggies in their kitchen garden?

vehicles, or unfortunately, poachers.

Sure, a guard dog will also work, but you’ll have to put up with the incessant barking. Getting up in the middle of the night to scare mule deer out of your yard every time you wife whispers, “The deer are back” works, but you’ll lose a lot of sleep, and you may bump into a cougar doing so. I’d forget that one.

There are only a few ways to actually keep deer from eating you out of house and home that really work, and fencing is the best. But that said, stay away from that black plastic netting that’s almost impossible to see. We put that up and the birds around our place started running into it, so we took it down immediately. Hog-wire fencing with white string attached to poles at about 6-inch spacing, up to about 6 feet, works very well.

Another frustrated gardener came up with a repellant that’s free. “I get human hair from the woman who cuts my hair and put it around my plants. It keeps the deer away and it doesn’t smell bad. It also seems to keep rabbits and raccoons away when I put it in my veggie garden.” Scare devices, such as sound-activated sprinklers are expensive and require a lot of effort to install, but some people swear by them as the best repellant for keeping one’s garden safe from mule deer. They’d also work to prevent your neighbor’s dog and cat from using your backyard as a waste depository. There’s a website I found that provides a whole bunch of different methods for keeping deer out of your garden: wikihow. com/Keep-Deer-Out-of-Your-Yard. You may like one or two of those ideas. Whatever you find that works, please, by all means, send the Source a letter-to-the-editor and share your good news. May The Force be with you.

or most, you might achieve an adrenaline rush by running a road race or taking on the steepest mountain bike trail. What those endeavors have in common is that your feet, for the most part, are firmly planted on terra firma.

If these activities don’t quite do it for you, here are some suggestions for getting yourself off the ground to achieve that elusive rapid heartbeat.

Bungee jumping

The apocalypse begins

Friday at 6pm October 30th

Downtown Bend

BEN

The sport of bungee jumping has arrived in Central Oregon with the option to jump from the Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint. Operated by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, the historic bridge, which opened in 1926 and spans the Crooked River just west of the relatively new Highway 97 bridge, until now served as a pedestrian walkway. An agreement between the parks department and James Scott, owner of Central Oregon Bungee Adventures and a longtime jumper, BASE jumper, and skydiver, now makes this option available for those that dare to jump from the viewpoint at a place where the river floor lurks 300 feet below. Jumps are weather permitting and those seeking this adventure are urged to call 541668-5867 for availability.

Paragliding Head over to Warrenton for a first-time paragliding tandem jump from either a coastal beach tow or a mountaintop in the Tillamook Valley area, the Columbia Gorge, or Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach. Discover Paragliding provides newcomers a ground school session to introduce the fundamentals of paraglider control, launching, and landing. After a few minutes in their “flight simulator,” you’ll be ready for your first flight. Depending on weather conditions, you might be allowed to take control of the glider and, with a little coaching, actually fly your “wing” yourself. Have no fear, as you return to Earth your instructor will take the controls for the final approach and landing. For more information visit www.discoverparagliding.com

Skydive Still not satisfied? Then head to Molalla and Skydive Oregon to experience jumping out of a plane, on purpose, at a minimum altitude of 13,000 feet.

are you a zombie or a survivor? bendzombierun.com

Taking off from a private airport brings you and your instructor up for a 120mph freefall experience before opening the parachute for a slightly more controlled five-minute ride back to the landing area. Although you are just along for the ride, this thrill-ride requires customers to be in reasonable shape, described by Skydive Oregon as “height and weight proportionate according to the NIH’s BMI index.” Be sure you have four to five hours for the experience.

Infinite Wallace

The End of the Tour quietly explodes By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 17, 2015 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Eisenberg and Segal, a bromance.

picked up David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest because I was supposed to. Seventeen years old, a senior in high school and desperate to not look as uncool as I felt, I knew that this was the book I was supposed to carry around in order to look hip (or at least intelligent). I carried it around for a few weeks (everyone saw right through me) until I put it on a shelf to gather dust until my sophomore year of college. Now, I actually thought I was cool and smart enough to handle reading the 1,000page opus that had tested the literary patience of some of the greatest minds I knew.

I wasn’t smarter (dumber, actually) or cooler (much, much lamer), but I read every page of that damned book, including footnotes, and it spoke right to me. The novel combines so many things: A dystopia where every year was subsidized by a different corporation that got to name it (Year of Dairy Products from the American Heartland); a film so addictive that its viewers give up on life and die watching it; a Québécois separatist group of wheelchair-bound assassins...and tennis. Lots of tennis. These things blended together in a madcap adventure, reminiscent of Pynchon, while being so quintessentially Wallace that this reader felt like he wasn’t alone in his isolated confusion. During Wallace’s press tour for Infinite Jest, he agreed to do an interview for Rolling Stone. Journalist David Lipsky

joined Wallace for the final few days of his book tour, meeting him at his home in Illinois and traveling with him to Minneapolis-Saint Paul. The End of the Tour dramatizes their five-day discussion without softening either participant. David Lipsky is played by Jesse Eisenberg who, while nestling comfortably in his usual performance wheelhouse, still carves new colors into his similar notes. Lipsky, while making a good living as a journo, considers himself a novelist. His first book has just been published, but Infinite Jest has just hit the bookstands, making all other current novels basically obsolete. Lipsky would give anything to have Wallace’s talent and success. When he finally meets Dave Wallace, he isn’t prepared for what he finds. Wallace, played note perfect by Jason Segal, is basically a simple man. Living in the frozen wastes of Illinois and avoiding the Manhattan literati only adds to the mystique of Wallace, who Lipsky sees as either a wolf in sheep’s clothing or a sheep lost in a wolf ’s brain. Watching these men get to know one another, while sizing each other up, coming to terms with their disappointments and having a genuine discussion about LIFE in big, bold capitols is almost the entire running time of the film. The film is quietly and simply directed by James Ponsoldt (behind 2013’s deceptively powerful The Spectacular Now)

and based on Lipsky’s 2010 book Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, which detailed David’s five days with Wallace. While I haven’t read it, I intend to because the conversation these two men have is large in scope, yet microscopic in examining what makes us human. If a movie about two white men (one of them a genius) discussing life, philosophy and morals sounds like a slog, see it anyway. This film is good for you and will give you strong bones. David Foster Wallace killed himself on September 12, 2008, while partway through writing The Pale King. While the novel was published unfinished, it still comes very close to achieving the brilliance of Infinite Jest. It is easy to look for meaning in The End of the Tour, to see if there is some sign of why he left so quickly other than the catch-all of the word “depression.” While there are pieces of his best and worst moments to sift through, suicide is ultimately too personal to leave obvious signposts. We do get to see a bit of who he was throughout the film, and that in and of itself, is good enough.

This Statham-less reboot flops By Jared Rasic

he Transporter Refueled is the Anti-Mad Max: Fury Road. Do you like car chases that thrill you to the point of exhaustion? Do you like strong female characters that don’t just behave like tough men? How about a story that draws you in and makes you care about everyone? Or maybe villains that you love to hate and that get your blood boiling? Then I have good news!!! Fury Road exists! No need to bother yourself with The Transporter even for a second because if you have seen Fury Road, this film will bother you to no end. Now, normally it’s not fair to compare films to each other, especially ones that belong in different genres. Fury Road is a dystopian, science fiction/action adventure and Refueled is a small pile of crap on top of your favorite dessert. However, comparing these two films is acceptable because they have an almost identical plot. Fury Road is about a badass lady warrior helping five breeding slaves escape a cruel and insane warlord, while Refueled follows a smirking, douchey James Bond reject that is paid to help four sex workers escape their evil and greedy Russian pimp. The difference comes in the storytelling. Fury Road’s escapees are beautiful, elegant, and complex. They are incredibly scarred from their ordeals, but are strong, three-dimensional women with inner lives and power. In Refueled, just minutes after the sex workers are rescued by The Transporter and his dad, they all sleep together. Two of them with dad, and one with The Transporter. Now, no slut-shaming here, but these women are given a sex scene instead of two or three minutes of character development, which seems backward: characters are given shading, history, and motivation, so that when they are paired with other characters of the sex they prefer, there is chemistry, sparks fly, and the sex they have either moves along the story or creates obstacles that will be faced in the third act. The sex in this movie is: you boy, me girl, let’s mash parts now because we’re supposed to because it’s a movie.

Ed Skrein (replacing the now apparently irreplaceable Jason Statham) whispers his lines in a Brit Batman growl that, along with his constantly smug smirk, makes him the most imminently punchable leading man since Paul Dano. He carries this movie the same way an octogenarian carries bricks: with much effort, but mostly not at all. The cinematography is without depth or shading, the performances are wooden or terrible across the board (except for the always delightful Ray Stevenson as Dad Transporter), and the film is sexist to the point of anger. Every woman in this movie is either duplicitous, stupid, or just nothing, because no effort was put into the cliché-riddled script to give them depth. Or personality. Or names. I know none of their names. But all of this is obvious. The production company that put this literal and actual waste of time out is EuropaCorp. While they have a few genuinely great films under their belt, their two biggest franchises (The Transporter and Taken) have never had a good movie past their first (and even the first Taken is arguable). Of course this was going to be bad. It’s the fourth entry in a franchise and we don’t even have Statham to watch while he kicks people and grimaces. Let’s say that action movies don’t need feminist ideals to go along with their female (or male) characters (even though, hello, Fury Road), and let’s say it doesn’t have to be smart or, even by all filmmaking definitions, “good,” as long as it has some kick-ass, adrenaline-pumping action. Even if all those things were true (they’re not), but if they were, then luck is all out of shit because The Transporter has it all. It is stupid, poorly made, and so sexist Donald Trump would tear up. But most of all, it’s boring. And that, for an action film, is unforgivable.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic BLACK MASS Critics are saying that Black

THE END OF THE TOUR This important and beautiful film follows the story of a five-day interview between David Lipsky of Rolling Stone and David Foster Wallace right after the publication of his masterwork, Infinite Jest. At turns heart-breaking, profound, and hysterical, The End of the Tour also presents Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segal at the very top of their game. Not to be missed. Tin Pan Theater

EVEREST: AN IMAX 3D EXPERIENCE The true story of one of the hairiest attempts to summit Everest in history. For once, the use of 3D (which I think we can all agree now isn’t a fad anymore) should actually enhance a film. Seeing the depth of frame as thousands of feet separate men from the ground should make for a white- knuckle film going experience. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre

MAZE RUNNER: THE SCORCH TRIALS This is the sequel to the surprisingly good Maze Runner from last year. The surviving maze runners now have to contend with the outside world, a post-apocalyptic, nightmare desert that no one can survive in. Hopefully this one can capture the excellent pacing and intense storyline from the first one, even though we know what the mystery is now. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MERU A gripping documentary about three climbers struggling to face Mount Meru, one of the most challenging mountains in the Himalayan range. The film boasts breathtaking climbing footage, along with interviews with some of the most respected climbers on the planet. A must-see for any mountaineer. Sisters Movie House, Tin Pan Theater

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-ROGUE NATION 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, 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. Sisters Movie House

NO ESCAPE An American couple in a scary

2015

foreign country caught in the middle of a coup where all Americans are being killed. Hopefully, this will ring out a new era of xenophobia and fear to replace our current one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre

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. Pine Theater, Redmond Theatre, 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. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre

THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED An unbelievably bad reboot of the Transporter franchise sans Jason Statham. Not only the worst film of the series, but easily in the bottom barrel of films from the entire year, boasting not only some of the most sexist, puerile, and wooden dialogue ever written, but it’s also unforgivably boring. Even the martial arts sequences and car chases are staged so poorly that it’s painful to watch them. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre

THE VISIT In what could hopefully be a return to form for M. Night Shyamalan, The Visit tells the tale of two youngsters going to stay at their grandparents’ house. The twist: the biggest rule is that they are not to leave their room after 9:30 because if they do, terrible, creepy things will occur. Boasting a darkly hilarious trailer, The Visit has this film buff cautiously optimistic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX A WALK IN THE WOODS Robert Redford and Nick Nolte play old friends who team up after years apart to hike the Appalachian Trail. Advanced reviews of the film are fairly negative, but this is a chance to see these two old pros walking around in nature and ruminating on mortality and whatnot, especially after this somewhat lackluster blockbuster season. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX WAR ROOM The controversial new faithbased movie War Room has arrived in Bend. When Tony and Elizabeth start realizing their rocky marriage is putting their young daughter in the middle of a war zone, they seek help from a wise woman who teaches them the power of prayer. Judging from some current reviews, it’s actually much worse than it sounds. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Mass is Johnny Depp’s return to “real” acting with real character work and less of a reliance on props. While he still is using make-up heavily, Depp’s portrayal of Whitey Bulger should be enough to return him to the world of relevance in one fell stroke. Although he is playing the Mad Hatter again next year, so who knows? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ADVICE GODDESS Nappily Ever After

—Dismayed So what did he do before you moved in, just chain her to the radiator while he took a snooze? When I was growing up, I’d have to play with toys by myself or go out and poke a worm with a stick. These days, parents go way over the top in how involved they think they should be in playtime, and kids exploit this, extorting constant adult attention. Developmental psychologist Peter Gray explains that play evolved to be the “primary means” for children to learn to solve their own problems, overcome their fears, and take control of their lives, and this parents as playmates thing may stunt kids’ self-reliance. Gray, like anthropologist David Lancy, points out that parents being all up in kids’ playtime business is a very recent development. Throughout human history, parents have been too busy doing the little things—you know, like trying to keep the family from starving to death—to read the hieroglyphic version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar to their kid 500 times in a row. It isn’t fair for your fiancé to clock out and make you Youth Activities Director. (I’m guessing your Match.com profile didn’t have you listed as BirthdayClown777.) It’s also important that you develop a nice warm relationship with this little girl before you start going all Department of Corrections on her. Connection first, discipline second is the order in which the most successful stepparent-stepchild relationships are formed, explains stepfamily researcher Kay Pasley. Of course, it is essential to set boundaries with willful, ill-behaved brats, including those who are, oh, 45. (Fatherhood is a journey, but not just from the living room to the bed.) As for how much of a role you’ll take in stepmommying, deciding that is part of deciding how your marriage will play out day to day, and that takes discussion: what you’re each comfortable with, what you need, and what seems fair. (Who knew? There’s more to marital planning than cage fighting an-

Grisly Bare I’m a 32-year-old woman, and I’m dating this guy, but I’m very insecure about my body. The other morning, I needed to go to the bathroom, but I didn’t want to walk naked out of the bedroom. I told him I felt self-conscious about being naked. He didn’t offer me a robe or a shirt or anything, and I found that kind of insensitive. —Modest They’ll hand you a paper gown at the doctor’s office, but that’s because you’re probably speaking to the intake nurse for the first or second time; you didn’t stay up till 4 a.m. riding her like a pony. This guy’s lack of “sensitivity” to your naked plight may also come out of how men generally don’t have quite so much insecurity about their appearance—and for good reason. Though a woman will go for a hunkbucket if she can get one, women evolved to prioritize men’s status and power over looks. (Think Henry Kissinger, Sarkozy, Shrek.) Men’s attraction to women, however, is largely visually driven. Women get this, so a woman can feel anxious when her tummy-wrangling garment is dangling from the ceiling fan and fret that her breasts, unbra’d, no longer stand up like two missiles about to be launched. But, as in this situation, when a guy keeps calling and coming back for more, chances are he’s feeling appreciative of what you have and not worried that seeing it naked will have him hurling in the nightstand drawer. Consider that a big part of sex appeal is confidence. Strutting around like you’re hot is a big step toward feeling that way. Try something for two weeks: Forget how insecure you feel naked and act as secure as you’d like to feel—tempting as it is to grab a pillow and back out of the bedroom like a cop when he knows the felons in the warehouse have him outnumbered.

I just moved in with my fiancé, whose 5-year-old daughter stays with us part of the week. On the evenings she’s at the house, my fiancé just goes to sleep, leaving me to entertain her. (She likes to play endless games like “Guess how many fingers I’m holding up!”) Well, I work a full-time job, and I’m exhausted in the evenings. He and I got into a big fight because I said he can’t just clock out like this. He told me that I need to “set boundaries” with her. Is this really my job? I’m not her mother, and I’m not even officially her stepmother yet.

other bride for the hot caterer.) Once you and he figure everything out, you and your stepdaughter can play many fun games— starting with one of my favorites from Camp Tamakwa: “Let’s draw a pee-pee on your sleeping dad’s face with permanent marker!”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some people express pride in gross ways. When you hear their overbearing brags, you know it’s a sign that they are not really confident in themselves. They overdo the vanity because they’re trying to compensate for their feelings of inadequacy. In the coming weeks, I expect you to express a more lovable kind of self-glorification. It won’t be inflated or arrogant, but will instead be measured and reasonable. If you swagger a bit, you will do it with humor and style, not narcissism and superiority. Thank you in advance for your service to humanity. The world needs more of this benign kind of egotism. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The rooster is your animal. Be like 1.)

enjoy making life so complicated and intense for yourself, you may be glad to learn that the current astrological omens favor that development. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you’re about to dive deep into rich mysteries that could drive you half-crazy. I suspect that you will be agitated and animated by your encounters with ecstatic torment and difficult bliss. Bon voyage! Have fun! Soon I expect to see miniature violet bonfires gleaming in your bedroom eyes, and unnamable emotions rippling through your unfathomable face, and unprecedented words of wild wisdom spilling from your smart mouth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Adamites were devotees of an ancient Christian sect that practiced sacred nudism. One of their central premises: How could anyone possibly know God while wearing clothes? I am not necessarily recommending that you make their practice a permanent part of your spiritual repertoire, but I think you might find value in it during the coming weeks. Your erotic and transcendent yearnings will be rising to a crescendo at the same time. You will have the chance to explore states where horniness and holiness overlap. Lusty prayers? Reverent sex? Ecstatic illumination? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One of your key themes in the coming weeks is “grace.” I suggest that you cultivate it, seek it out, expect it, and treasure it. To prepare for this fun work, study all of the meanings of “grace” below. At least two of them, and possibly all, should and can be an active part of your life. 1. Elegance or beauty of form, movement, or proportion; seemingly effortless charm or fluidity. 2. Favor or goodwill; a disposition to be generous or helpful. 3. Mercy, forgiveness, charity. 4. A temporary exemption or immunity; a reprieve. 5. A sense of fitness or propriety. 6. A prayer of blessing or thanks said before a meal. 7. An unmerited divine gift offered out of love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be good, but not necessarily well-behaved. Be extra exuberant and free, but not irresponsible. Be lavish and ardent and even rowdy, but not decadent. Why? What’s the occasion? Well, you have moreor-less finished paying off one of your karmic debts. You have conquered or at least outwitted a twist from your past that had been sapping your mojo. As a reward for doing your duty with such diligence, you have earned a respite from some of the more boring aspects of reality. And so now you have a mandate to gather up the intelligent pleasure you missed when you were acting like a beast of burden.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I am the least difficult of men. All I want is boundless love.” That’s the mantra that Frank O’Hara intoned in his poem “Meditations in an Emergency,” and now I’m inviting you to adopt a modified ver-

sion of it. Here’s how I would change it for your use in the coming months: “I am the least difficult of passion artists. All I want is to give and receive boundless, healthy, interesting love.” To be frank, I don’t think O’Hara’s simple and innocent declaration will work for you. You really do need to add my recommended nuances in order to ripen your soul’s code and be aligned with cosmic rhythms.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I won’t go so far as to say that you are surrounded by unhinged maniacs whose incoherence is matched only by their self-delusion. That would probably be too extreme. But I do suspect that at least some of the characters in the game you’re playing are not operating at their full potential. For now, it’s best not to confront them and demand that they act with more grace. The wiser strategy might be to avoid being swept up in their agitation as you take good care of yourself. If you are patient and stay centered, I bet you will eventually get a chance to work your magic.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Many of the heroes in fairy tales survive and thrive because of the magical gifts they are given. Benefactors show up, often unexpectedly, to provide them with marvels—a spinning wheel that can weave a cloak of invisibility, perhaps, or winged shoes that give them the power of flight, or a charmed cauldron that brews a healing potion. But there is an important caveat. The heroes rarely receive their boons out of sheer luck. They have previously performed kind deeds or unselfish acts in order to earn the right to be blessed. According to my analysis, Taurus, the coming weeks will be prime time for you to make yourself worthy of gifts you will need later on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): We humans need nourishing stories almost as much as we require healthy food, clean air, pure water, and authentic love. And yet many of us get far less than our minimum daily requirement of nourishing stories. Instead, we are barraged with nihilistic narratives that wallow in misery and woe. If we want a break from that onslaught, our main other choices are sentimental fantasies and empty-hearted trivia. That’s the bad news. But here’s the good news: Now is a favorable time for you to seek remedies for this problem. That’s why I’m urging you to hunt down redemptive chronicles that furnish your soul with gritty delight. Find parables and sagas and tales that fire up your creative imagination and embolden your lust for life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Now is an excellent time to close the gap between the Real You and the image of yourself that you display to the world. I know of two ways to accomplish this. You can tinker with the Real You so that it’s more like the image you display. Or else you can change the image you display so that it is a more accurate rendition of the Real You. Both strategies may be effective. However you go about it, Cancerian, I suggest you make it your goal to shrink the amount of pretending you do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Born under the sign of Leo, Marcel Duchamp was an influential artist whose early work prefigured surrealism. In 1917, he submitted an unusual piece to a group exhibition in New York. It was a plain old porcelain urinal, but he titled it “Fountain”, and insisted it was a genuine work of art. In that spirit, I am putting my seal of approval on the messy melodrama you are in the process of managing. Henceforth, this melodrama shall also be known as a work of art, and its title will be “Purification.” (Or would you prefer “Expurgation” or “Redemption”?) If you finish the job with the panache you have at your disposal, it will forevermore qualify as a soul-jiggling masterpiece.

Mistakes Borrowers Make After Applying for a Mortgage

etting approved for a mortgage is no small feat these days. At times it can feel like you have to jump through one hoop after another, chasing down bank statements, pay stubs, tax returns and even copies of deposited checks.

SKI & SNOWBOARD FILM

All that paperwork is vital to getting approved for a mortgage but once you are approved it is important that you not forget you are in the middle of the application process. That means you and your application can be evaluated and re-evaluated at any time all the way to closing AND you can still be denied. With that in mind, here are some mistakes to avoid after applying for a mortgage.

Don’t open new credit accounts: For any reason! Wait until the loan closes and then you can borrow to your heart’s content. A seemingly innocent transaction like opening a line of credit at the local furniture store to buy a couch for your new home can end the deal, no questions asked. Cars are another purchase that get many borrowers in trouble. See the first item above. A simple credit check by a car dealer before closing can raise a red flag for the underwriter and end your hopes for a mortgage. Don’t change jobs: Lenders like to see job stability and a regular paycheck. Changing jobs during the loan process won’t automatically kill your chances of getting a mortgage but it will definitely make it more difficult. Even if you are changing jobs in the same field, for more money, the lender could require two months of pay stubs from your new job before allowing the loan to close. If you are buying a home with this mortgage, the last thing you want to do is give the seller a reason to back out of your deal and sell your dream home to someone else. No deposits that can’t be documented: Expect to have to document every deposit to your bank account(s) for the two months prior to application and even during the loan process. Underwriters don’t like to see deposits that make them go, “Hmmm.” Why? Because they are trying to verify that you can make the monthly payment of your new mortgage. A $3,000 cash deposit with no bill of sale, receipt or gift letter will not help you qualify for a mortgage and could kill the deal if you need those funds for a down payment.

In short, remember that the mortgage approval process is just that: a process. The initial approval doesn’t mean anything until the loan closes. Keep everything as simple as possible and hold off on those big purchases or even small credit applications until the deal is done.

BEND’S PREMIERE DOWNTOWN DISPENSARY

Prohibition Continues In Parts of Oregon Despite the Passage of Measure 91 By Steve Holmes

n a completely unnecessary political compromise called HB 3400, the Oregon Legislature created a huge caveat to one of the central principles of Measure 91. That deal for the benefit of Oregon Republicans gave anti-cannabis localities the right to ban commercial cannabis growers, processors, and sellers. This prohibition allows cities and counties to stop existing medical marijuana dispensaries from selling recreational cannabis and to prevent any new cannabis stores from opening. Prohibitionist Oregonians with local majorities soon got to work undoing the will of the people. Six counties and 17 cities have enacted bans so far, and these bans all include all three types of new cannabis businesses that are starting all over Oregon. The prohibitionist agenda is alive and well in Central Oregon. La Pine and Crook County have recently enacted bans on cannabis businesses. Despite almost unanimously pro-cannabis business crowds in public meetings in both jurisdictions, and classically vague and uninformed “security” arguments on the other side, many who attended these meetings left feeling that, as one farmer told me, “they [elected officials] had made up their mind before the meeting.” The Madras City Council has decided to temporarily ban all new cannabis businesses until November 2016, and will likely stop existing medical marijuana dispensaries in the city from selling recreational cannabis on September 22 as well. But reason seems to have ultimately prevailed in Madras, by a 3-2 City Council vote. Voters there will get to decide in 2016 whether to permanently ban cannabis businesses from their community. Deschutes County is also considering a ban on new cannabis businesses, with Sheriff Shane Nelson said to favor a complete ban. But, as with other locations in Central Oregon, the commissioners have heard from many people who have already invested substantially in new cannabis businesses in the time between Measure 91 passing and HB 3400 taking away the rights given (back) by Measure 91. Now, Deschutes County Commissioners seem to be focused on creating regulations for growers and possibly banning people who want to trim and package cannabis

or create edibles. If you’re a fan of “Battlestar Galactica” or have even a passing knowledge of American history, you will know that all this has happened before, and, apparently, will happen again. The alcohol prohibition movement began with the notion that a nationwide ban on alcohol was necessary for the total sobriety of Americans to have the desired effect on the national character. After the disastrous Eighteenth Amendment was repealed, several localities in areas such as the Deep South with serious “security concerns” about alcohol enacted their own bans on alcohol. Thus was born the “dry county.” And the dry county isn’t just a historical artifact—it exists to this day in rural America. Yours truly had the distinct pleasure of attending college at an institution located in a dry county. And the effect of that law was unbelievable. Hardly any students at the university drank. The university set itself apart on several important metrics of student achievement, with lower dropout rates, higher attendance, less sexual assault, fewer car accidents, and greater church attendance. Of course, none of that is true. We drove to the next county and bought massive quantities of alcohol at a store located in a large barn mere yards from the county line. Then we drove 45 minutes back to campus, often consuming some of the alcohol on the way, something that would have been unthinkable for a 10-minute ride to the liquor store. And we drank just as much, if not more, than students at any other school in the country. Yes, the very idea of local prohibition is farcical. The economy does not start and stop at the city limits or the county line. Forget all the people who have invested their life savings before being betrayed by the politicians in Salem, and forget all of the tax money that those businesses will pour into our drastically underfunded schools. The effects of legalized cannabis will be felt in all of Oregon regardless of whether your local politicians keep their heads in the sand.
