People who work in Bend are having a hard time finding housing with landlords upping rents drastically. If a homeowner feels they aren’t making enough in rent, they turn their homes into Vacation Rentals impacting once beautiful neighborhoods.

Homeownership for Bendites is fast becoming a distant dream. Developers are destroying open areas throwing up houses that most people in Bend cannot afford. It’s sad because the reason people move to Bend is for the openness.

Congestion is unreal. Many streets are already parking lots. It’s not unusual to have to sit through several cycles to get through some lights. The roads are already filled with potholes and ruts, which will get worse in winter.

The location is all wrong for four-year colleges. Who has ever heard of building a fouryear college on ten acres, or building it on a pumice mine? Didn’t they learn anything from the field sinking at Summit High School?

Who will be paying to repair it when the buildings start sinking? Housing will be difficult and parking will be even worse. I doubt faculty, staff, and students will walk 3.5 miles into downtown Bend. I think a college student would be happier going a couple of hours away to a college where there would be the ambiance of a real campus that has housing, parking, and athletic fields.

People need to see that the quality of life is eroding. Congestion is getting worse every day. At this rate it won’t be long before our beautiful blue sky will be a big brown cloud.

IN REPLY TO “FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY” (9/30) Regarding the riverside market controversy, as an outsider looking at it from a citywide policy perspective, consider that the “market” has operated illegally for several years.

for violations? Instead they are recommending a conditional use permit without even requiring a survey to see if legal parking requirements can be met! I guess in Bend it pays to ignore the code and then cozy up to staff when neighbors object to an illegal operation!

It is clear this business does not belong in this neighborhood.

—Allan Bruckner

HOUSING CRISIS A year ago we moved to Bend, you know, one of those carpetbaggers not from the state immediately to our South….I had heard about the vacancy rate, almost in a boastful fashion, from realtors. “Less than one percent vacancy!!”… Since I had a house to sell back east and was a landlord myself, I needed a rental for myself and my family. Did I mention we have two little dogs? You know those adorable little creatures that lap up the water from the bowls sitting outside businesses downtown but God Forbid, they want to live with you in a rental? Well I had been warned and was ready to overpay for my rental. After all you have to pay the “paradise tax.” And overpay I did. $2,600 per month for a modest house that was 11 years old on a stupid golf course, not my preference, but did I say “less than one percent vacancy?”

The housing shortage in Central Oregon has created a less than ethical cottage industry-property management. It is hard to find a rental that is managed by the owner, myself being one. Most, like me are from out of town. I have been an ethical and fair landlord since 1981. Dealing with property management in Bend, in particular Austin Property Management has been a challenge. Towards the end of our one-year lease I began inquiring about staying. I got what I perceived as a stall.

No answer. Eventually as the date approached I pressed the point and found that the owners of my rental were returning and that a note “had been put in my file” but nobody told me.

This is indicative of property management in Bend, incompetent. We rushed to find somewhere to live.

Waiting the prescribed month for the return of our $2,600 security deposit I found that nothing had been done, no action. I inquired about the security deposit and told them I would like to pick it up—the stall. Eventually on the 31st day I got an email, an invoice, telling me that I would OWE THEM MONEY!!!

They were charging me $3,200 to replace the 11-year-old carpet! Not to mention the cost of a full cleaning ($400), and assorted other ridiculous costs like changing one light bulb and patching a hole for $87.00 I was told not to patch nail holes because that was part of normal wear and tear. Additionally I was told not to clean the carpet myself because this

property management company had a particular vendor that they used exclusively. And that’s the most suspicious part of this scheme.

They use the same vendors who are beholding to the property management company who say and write up anything that supports their case. On the invoice for the cleaning the person had scribbled, “greasy oven” and “dusty.”

The carpet company used by property management uses a process that is not steam cleaning. In talking to experts in that field I was told that method would not produce an optimal effect. I had a steam cleaning company come out to the house to give me as estimate. There were a few stubborn pet stains for sure and a spot in the corner where the Christmas tree stood. Certainly these stains would have been no problem for a standard or even enhanced steam cleaning. That’s what he confirmed for me. I certainly would have been glad to pay and have the steam cleaning performed had I not been warned not to by property management.

As I talked to people about this I found that my experience was not unique. I heard one horror story after another dealing with this company and others like it. People who could not afford to lose a security deposit at the hands of an unethical property manager.

There needs to be stronger regulatory language in the Oregon Statute. While other states like California declare that carpet specifically has a limited life and must be depreciated, Oregon leaves it up to the court. This leaves a lot of wiggle room for unethical property managers in places with very low vacancy rates like Bend.

—Not Yet Homeless in Bend

ast weekend, members and supporters of Oregon’s Democratic Party gathered for a biennial summit in Sunriver for three days of panels, speakers, and networking. To those already a part of the party, the event no doubt felt something like a family reunion. But the undercurrent of self-congratulation, assumptions about unaffiliated voters, and anti-Republican rhetoric revealed some problems with not just the Democratic gathering but also the evolving party politics of today.

Elected officials are supposed to be public servants, in which servitude is a state of humble giving and selfless sacrifice. But while politicians no doubt give up some things in exchange for a seat at the table, humility was hard to find at the DPO Summit, as it is in politics generally.

Lawmakers received a welcome akin to the star quarterback after clinching the title with a stellar last-minute play.

During a lunch billed as a congressional update, members of Oregon’s democratic delegation gave impassioned speeches, peppered with anti-Republican jokes, to a starry-eyed audience.

Standing ovations—typically reserved for powerful artistic performances and compelling speeches—were a dime a dozen. People stood when a new politician stepped up to the microphone, and they stood again when his or her remarks were finished. The vibe was one-part church sermon, one-part pop star concert.

Organizers enticed attendees with special prizes, including breakfast with Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, while the eagerness of regular folks to steal a moment with their elected officials was palpable to the point of being uncomfortable.

Politicians are not celebrities. They ought to be eager to have an audience with their constituents, not the other way around.

In more serious moments, attendees speculated—on and off stage—about the need to persuade unaffiliated voters that the Democratic Party has their best interests at heart. Some posited that unaffiliated voters have a hard time distinguishing between the two major parties, while others bemoaned the way Democrats present their messaging about the economy.

According to Pew, sixty percent of unaffiliated voters say they choose not to register with a party because they don’t fit neatly into one red or blue box.

It’s not that they are uninformed or are failing to understand the message; rather, they know themselves well enough to recognize that their political views don’t fit what has become a firmly established mold. The same survey found that 39 percent of voters have an equal number of liberal and conservative views.

Armed with this information, Democratic—as well Republican—leaders will need to step off their pedestals and start to listen to voters if they want to hold onto power in a future where voters are increasingly eschewing party affiliation.

That’s not to say that the party system has to go; parties can serve as a useful tool for organizing and amplifying the perspective of a like-minded group of people. But party politics are increasingly polarizing, and the demonizing of the opposing party is not a recipe for change.

Real power derives from returning to the roots of representational democracy, from recognizing that the American people are more complex than the people who claim to represent their interests.

It’s time to move away from efforts to “convert” unaffiliated voters and instead aim to represent them. Party politics can help this process or it can become increasingly irrelevant.

Foster care nonprofit gets a new home

SIDE NOTES

By Corinne Boyer

By Corinne Boyer 7

Over the last three years, Action Through Advocacy has been operating out of the homes of its volunteer organizers and more recently from a storage unit. The foster care support nonprofit recently rented an office space and its founder, Heidi Myers, says that now it will be easier to help foster parents get items they need like clothing, shoes, and school supplies.

Action Through Advocacy links foster care families with support resources and services like in-home tutoring and relief care, and provides in-home volunteers to assist with a bit of extra help when needed. Financial Director Karen Banks says volunteers are essential to supporting foster parents because they help with “house work, folding clothes, or whatever the parent needs so they have more time to have a cup of coffee and relax.”

Myers, who also serves as the organization’s executive director, knows the ins and outs of foster care parenting—she’s an adoptive parent and a foster parent herself—and recognized the need for a nonprofit to fill the gaps. ATA has a foster parent advisory committee which “gives a voice to foster parents that can be communicated back to DHS so we can make sure we’re working on their behalf in the most critically needed areas,” says Myers.

Currently, foster children need more counseling and therapeutic services.

The office space is now home to Action Through Advocacy’s Hope Chest—which provides clothes, school supplies, and toys.

When children arrive at foster homes, they often “come in with only the clothes on their backs,” says Banks. “Many homes in Deschutes have three to five kids.”

The average foster family most likely has a family of their own and can’t afford to purchase necessities for children they are helping. Foster families receive assistance checks from the Oregon Department of

Human Services, but those arrive approximately a month after a child is placed in a new home, according to Banks.

All of ATA’s organizers and volunteers have full-time jobs elsewhere because all of the nonprofit’s funding goes directly to foster care resources. Banks—who works as a realtor—says after searching for a space offering month-to-month rent, she negotiated a three-month rental price for their new office space.

“We’ve been operating off of fundraisers, and we don’t have any people that are giving money monthly right now,” she says.

“It’s much nicer than working out of our homes.”

According to Action Through Advocacy, there are close to 300 children in the foster care system in Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook Counties and due to the average size of foster homes in Central Oregon, more foster families are needed.

For people considering becoming foster families, Banks says it’s critical to understand the needs of children being abruptly removed from their homes.

“Children that come into foster care are severely neglected or abused, and the job of foster parent is to rehabilitate children and bring them back from their tragedy to help them grow and become successful,” says Banks. She also says that some children are born to drug addicted mothers.

“Know that these children are damaged and abused and come with behavioral problems, and foster parents have to learn to deal with them.”

Foster parent training courses can be arranged through ATA, and they train anyone who wants to provide relief care for foster care parents. Although stays vary depending on the situation, most children are in foster care for approximately six months so tutors help play an essential

role during a child’s transition.

“Tutors go into the homes when the foster parent is there to help the student come up-to-grade-level reading,” says Banks.

“They might continue it for a year depending on what the child needs.” She also says science and math tutors are greatly needed.

Communication between foster parents and the Oregon Department of Human Services is imperative because Myers says Oregon is a return to home state. For foster children, the first goal is to return them to their parents, she says. DHS works on a case-by-case basis with parents to arrange for training to give them a second chance, but if parents are unwilling to participate, their parental rights can be terminated.

“Each parent has a certain amount of time [during which] they need to need to be rehabilitated. If it’s bad parenting style, then they go through parenting training,” says Myers. Myers also notes that DHS works extensively but the department is “understaffed and maxed out at what they can accomplished.”

ATA hopes to keep their current office space. As the nonprofit continues to put more effort into fundraising and assisting crowded foster homes, Myers says it’s going to take a lot of work.

“Keeping [the office space] for next year depends very much on financial support,” she says. “It’s important because then we can better serve the foster care community.”

Redmond got a new park last week, and it’s the largest accessible play area in Oregon. The Hope Playground at Sam Johnson Park in Redmond opened on Thursday, Oct. 15. Members from the City of Redmond, Friends of Sam Johnson Park, and the Kiwanis Club of Redmond cut the ribbon during the celebration of its opening. A group of Redmond moms came up with the idea for the playground and after planning and fundraising for three years.

Hundreds of volunteers helped and over $750,000 in donations were received for the project. “This is a much-needed amenity in our community that will serve everyone who lives here and those who visit—people of all ages and abilities,” said Redmond Kiwanis Club Member Gary Ollerenshaw. The park includes a custom climbing wall and a dual zip line, and the playground can accommodate 450 people.

The dilapidated shack, once a garage, on the corner of NW Georgia Avenue and NW Bond Street was recently demolished.

The unstable structure was a hazard, an eyesore, and home to a string of breakins by people squatting on the property.

As reported by the Source in August, the new owners of the property have plans to build a home.

Civic Meeting The Cascades East Transit Regional Public Transit Advisory Committee will meet to discuss concepts for a Regional Transit Expansion and the Bend Transit Expansion.

Venturing Out Angel investors give local companies a big boost

8 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / October 22, 2015 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Paul Bacon

L

ast week’s Bend Venture Conference, a two-day event designed to vault promising startup companies into the realm of well-funded enterprises, sold out the Tower Theater in downtown Bend and sent winners home with more than $620,000 in investment awards, cash prizes, and services.

Conference attendees enjoyed networking opportunities, educational seminars, and a keynote address by Google Executive Darren Pleasance. The main events of the conference were investment competitions between two categories of companies, early stage and growth stage.

EARLY STAGE Only companies located in Central Oregon were eligible to compete in the early stage category, and they typically shared the following characteristics: They had yet to generate revenue or were in their early stages of generating revenue, and they were testing their product in the market. They were also close to “proof of concept,” meaning they were approaching the stage when they could demonstrate their product had real-world applications.

The early stage application process included two screening events, beginning with Upstart Day, a quick review of contenders including feedback from a panel of professionals. Select companies were invited to the PubTalk Competition held at McMenamins in downtown Bend on September 24. The five resulting finalists were given the chance to make three-minute pitches to a panel of judges at BVC. The award in this category was a fixed amount

of $15,000 sponsored by BendBroadband.

SnoPlanks, a Bend-based manufacturer of snowboards, took the early stage prize, which was given to the company that conference attendees believed was best positioned to benefit from the money.

According to Brian Vierra, venture catalyst for Economic Development of Central Oregon, which manages the BVC, the snowboard maker won in part because of its special appeal to the Bend audience.

“A lot of people in attendance were snowboarders,” Vierra says. “Plus, the company had a polished presentation and showed a real understanding of their product.”

Vierra adds that SnoPlanks, unlike some technology companies competing at the event, had a physical product they were able to show on stage.

The four other finalists in the early stage competition run the gamut of concepts.

AirFit aims to install gym and shower facilities for travelers at major U.S. airports.

QuakeWarn is developing a system to alert subscribers’ mobile phones when tremors are detected nearby. Radventure seeks to connect travelers with local experts to help them enjoy personalized outdoor adventures. And Outdoor Logic Solutions is marketing products like a ski and snowboard boot remover.

GROWTH STAGE The growth stage competition was open to companies inside and outside the Central Oregon region. Contenders in this category typically had a proven concept, had already generated their initial reve-

nues, and were ready to scale their companies quickly if provided investment capital.

The award in this category had no limit and was based on how much money the winning company attracted from investors before the end of the event. Growth stage contenders were each given ten minutes of conference time to pitch their products and services, followed by a question and answer session.

The largest award went to Odysys, which attracted $205,000 in investment capital from BVC, LLC, a private investment fund set up each year for the conference.

Odysys helps independent hotels lower costs by providing a simple online platform to manage their digital marketing efforts.

Vierra says Odysys is solving a big problem for hoteliers who would otherwise have to pay a big percentage of their income to traditional online travel agencies.

“It’s so compelling from a price perspective,” he says. “It’s a massive value proposition.”

A second award from the BVC, LLC fund was given to Perfect Company, which won $125,000. Perfect Company makes cooking scales that connect to mobile devices and apps that help consumers follow recipes to the letter.

Vierra says Perfect Company is revolutionizing cooking.

“The number of ways they can generate revenue is massive,” he says. “They’ve solved a problem in the kitchen by shifting the way people cook.”

This is the second year that the BVC, LLC fund has awarded investment prizes to more than one company. Last year, it gave $250,000 to Amplion Research, which markets a biomarker database, and $100,000 to Poachedjobs, a hiring platform for companies in high-turnover industries.

Even after the end of the two-day conference, the investment amounts may increase because growth stage contenders often receive side investment deals from other investors. Vierra says it may be one or two months before all the investments are known.

The BVC is one of a number of “angel conferences” linking investors with promising upstart companies. Upcoming offerings in the Pacific Northwest region include the Seattle Angel Conference this November and Willamette Angel Conference in Eugene next May. According to Entrepreneur.com, the term “angel” used to describe investors in Broadway shows but now refers to investors who put their own money into startup companies, as opposed to institutional venture capitalists, who invest other people’s money.

EDCO Bend’s angel conference is run

by Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO), a Bend-based nonprofit aiming to diversify the local economy and support middle class jobs. EDCO, which receives funds from private and public interests, entices outside employers to relocate or expand their operations here.

After establishing a relationship, EDCO

Feature

says it helps guide companies through the relocation process by providing information about the region, incentives, and site selection.

EDCO, founded in 1981, focuses on attracting “traded-sector employers” selling most of their goods or services outside Central Oregon. It says that by attracting businesses to the region, it also attracts wealth to local communities and helps build what it calls “a recession-proof employment base.”

More than three-dozen prominent members of the local business community and public sector sit on EDCO’s board of directors. Among them are Mid Oregon Credit Union President and CEO Bill Anderson, Deschutes County Commissioner Tony Debone,

and OSU-Cascades Vice President Becky Johnson.

BVC THROUGH THE YEARS The first BVC was held eleven years ago at the Tower Theater. The conference lasted just one day, and real money was not even in the offing. The prize went to the company attracting the largest amount of “bucks,” a fixed pool of fake money distributed to audience members to spend as they saw fit. The winner of the inaugural event was renewable energy company PV Powered, which has since been acquired

by Advanced Energy Industries of Fort Collins, Colorado.

The first annual conference to award

In 2009, no investment prize money was awarded because of due diligence issues, but the following year, the prize to Manzama, which creates software for attorneys, reached $200,000. The biggest conference investment prize to date went to healthcare technology company Sonivate Medical, which won $265,000 in 2012.

Vierra says the BVC is the largest angel conference in the Pacific Northwest.

Last year’s conference contenders together raised more than a million dollars, including post-conference side investments.

EDCO began managing the BVC in 2010 because the conference brings together the elements of EDCO’s mission, which are to “move, start, grow.” Vierra says by that time the BVC had grown beyond the capabilities of an organization run entirely by volunteers.

“The conference is a monster to manage,” he says. “EDCO grabbed it because we have the resources and the interest. I don’t think we realized how big it would get.”

It’s never to soon too start thinking about hitting the slopes.

Whether we’re due for a winter full of fresh powder and blue skies, or an unpredictable and patchy season, it never hurts to be prepared. We highlight some of the best gear and best bets for new adventures, for the snowriders among us.

Shiny & New Mt. Bachelor gets a facelift

By Corinne Boyer

A

lthough it’s still early fall and Mt. Bachelor is bare, the opening day of ski season is set for Wednesday, Nov. 25, according to Spencer Weimar, marketing director for Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort.

During its 58th season, the resort will host new and classic annual events. Weimar says the first event of the season will be the Dirksen Derby.

“Tyler Eklund is still going strong and so is the Dirksen Derby snowboard rally race,” says Weimer.

The competition is in its ninth year and Patagonia Snowboarding Ambassador Josh Dirksen has raised approximately 30 thousand dollars for Eklund—a snowboarder who was paralyzed after competing in the USASA Nationals at the age of 14. The Derby will be held this year on December 11-13.

Last year, the event sold out, so competitors are encouraged to purchase Derby passes early.

New for 2015-2016 is the Hella Big Air Competition, to be held on Jan. 17, 2016.

“This event is a best-trick competition resurrected from the good old days at Mt. Bachelor,” Weimer explains.

Mt. Bachelor also underwent renovations and received a few upgrades during the off-season. The Northwest Express lift will be up-and-running after it was shut down last season thanks to its new, custom-made 1,000 horsepower motor.

“The Mountain Rippers facility, located in West Village Lodge, has been expanded and remodeled to give parents and their children in Gravity School a much improved experience,” adds Weimar. The school focuses on skills and snowboard lessons for children 3 and a half to 5 years old.

Pinnacles, the coffee shop at Pine Marten Lodge, has also undergone renovations and is now offering specialty waffles as part of its new menu, Weimer says.

Mount Bachelor also offers ski lessons for all ages and if you’d rather skip the slopes, check out their sled-dog rides or snow-tubing park.

An Icon on the Move After 50 years, Skjersaa’s leaves its ski chalet

By Dac Collins In 1938, Olaf Skjersaa, a Norwegian immigrant working in Bend as a carpenter, opened the town’s first ski shop inside his home on 10th Street. At that time, the ski industry was so young that it could hardly even be called that. Skis were rudimentary and archaic compared to today’s equipment.

They were made entirely out of wood instead of modern-day composites such as kevlar and carbon fiber, and snowboards had not yet been invented.

This was the same year that the first chairlift in Oregon was constructed at Timberline on Mt. Hood.

It wasn’t until 1958, when Mt. Bachelor—known then as Bachelor Butte—opened to the public, that Olaf Skjersaa moved his family-run shop out of his home and opened up a location at the base of the mountain.

Fast-forward to 1965. Mt. Bachelor has been open to the public for less than a decade and is already hosting over 120,000 skiers in one season. The snurfer—the forerunner of the snowboard—is quickly gaining popularity. Ski technology has vastly improved and the demand for new equipment is higher than ever before.

Terry Skjersaa, Olaf’s son, buys an empty lot on Century Drive and builds Skjersaa’s Sport Shop.

While the racks at Skjersaa’s are stocked with the latest and greatest gear for both skiers and boarders, there are also a few pairs of skinny skis from the ’80s leaning against the wall by the clothing racks. These antiquated decorations serve as a reminder of the long history behind this successful local business with humble beginnings.

That iconic building, modeled after a Swiss chalet, still stands today and owner Jeremy Nelson says that the spirit of Skjersaa’s lives on inside it. Nelson, who grew up on the slopes of Big Mountain in Whitefish, Montana, and claims to not have missed a ski season since he was five years old, started working for Skjersaa’s in 1998. After managing the business for a few years, he bought it in 2003. In the time since, Skjeersaa’s Ski and Snowboard Shop has been voted “Best of Central Oregon” 12 years in a row.

“That [distinction] comes from having a crew that is

as passionate about riding as possible,” Nelson says.

“We all love the mountain culture and love what we do.”

Brenda Einstein, co-owner of Nevado Mountain Adventures—a marketing business based in Bend that connects consumers and retailers with manufacturers in the ski and outdoor industry—had nothing but great things to say about the employees of Skjersaa’s at this year’s ski swap.

“The minute I walked in the door, I just felt comfortable. I think it was the fireplace,” says the local skier about her first visit to the shop.

Nelson says he is excited about what the future has in store for Skjersaa’s. Although the wooden structure, located at 130 SW Century Dr., has become a landmark on the west side of town, the time has come for a change. After 50 years in the same spot, Skjersaa’s is relocating.

“It was a hard decision for sure,” Nelson say, “but there were several factors involved.”

First and foremost is the fact that the owner of the building put it on the market for sale this summer—an investment move that was made, in part, because of a development project that the city has planned for Century Drive. These plans include the construction of a sidewalk that will cover up the parking area in front of the local ski shop.

Fortunately for Nelson and the local snow -riding community, the business has already found a new location to set up shop a mere five-minute walk down the street. Skjersaa’s Ski and Snowboard shop will be taking over the current location of The Gear Fix at 345 Century Dr., Suite 100. The new spot even has a fireplace.

ith winter just around the corner, many local skiers and snowboarders are already taking an inventory of their ski gear. Pants rip, boots wear out, and there is always a lighter pair of bindings or a fatter set of skis to buy. And while there is no shortage of ski shops around town, Skjersaa’s Ski and Snowboard Shop has been a fixture in Bend for so long that it is considered a local institution.

Top Gear Taking winter to the next level

photos by Kim Elton

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / October 22, 2015 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

12

By Alli Miles hether you’re slaying groomers, lapping the park, trekking into the backcountry (or using a two-stroke to get there), exploring Nordic trails, or just sipping hot toddies in the lodge, here’s some of the best new gear to take your winter to the next level.

W Backcountry

Downhill

In the backcountry, skis and boots are getting lighter every year without sacrificing performance, while the concept for tech bindings developed by Dynafit 31-years ago has become the industry model. The result is safer and more user-friendly bindings for backcountry skiers. Here are a few of the best on the market for 2016.

VÖLKL KENDO: Offering supreme versatility on and off piste, the Völkl Kendo for 2016 upgrades an old favorite with a lighter, more playful design. While the older version excelled at linking arcs on groomers, the new Kendo features a wider waist, early taper in the tip, and the addition of rocker in the tip and tail, for enhanced off-trail forays. Still constructed with wood and metal, the new shape makes turn initiation much easier, even with the added width. Camber underfoot improves edge grip and stability during fast hot laps on the frontside, while the new design elements allow for more playfulness in softer snow.

MARKER KINGPIN 13: The Kingpin is perfect for those venturing from the resort into the backcountry who don’t want to sacrifice power. The Kingpin features a wide-heel piece that releases just like an alpine binding, making it one of the easiest bindings to get into and out of, while six-spring construction in the toe (rather than four) gives skiers more confidence hucking and skiing at speed.

However, the burliness comes at a price. This bomber binding tips the scale at 3.2 lbs, so the quads will pay dearly for the ripping fast descent.

DYNAFIT BEAST: The Beast 14 combines the turntable-toe technology of Dynafit’s Radical 2.0 series with the clamped-in heel piece of the Dynafit Beast 16, which debuted two years ago and crushed the market for tour bindings. This year’s Beast 14 balances efficient touring and confident, hard-charging descents, without fear of pre-releasing in ski mode—and it’s about a third of a pound lighter than its predecessor, the Beast 16.

DYNAFIT RADICAL 2.0 SERIES (FT, ST): Culminating three decades of Dynafit innovation, the frameless, low-tech Radical 2.0 binding features a patented pivoting toe that functions as a release mechanism while resisting possible early release from lateral impact. DIN- and ISO- certified, the Radical 2.0 is one of the lightest bindings in its class and a leader when it comes to frameless ski touring bindings.

Snowboarding JONES STORM CHASER: New for 2016, the Jones Storm Chaser is the powder-surfing love child of pro snowboarder Jeremy Jones and surfboard shaper Chris Christenson.

Blending elements of snowboard and surfboard tech, Jones and Christenson incorporated their favorite snow and surf designs as they sketched the board’s shape and rocker profile by hand. The result is a brilliant work of art that also happens to explode through powder, packing insane float and nimbleness into a short, wide profile with a swallow tail and rocker from just inside the front foot to the pointy-yet-blunt nose.

Although it’s designed for waist-deep powder, the Storm Chaser can hold its own on hardpack, providing plenty of support across the crust when untracked powder lies just on the other side of a wind-scoured face.

Cross Country ROSSIGNOL R-SKINS: The all-new Rossignol R-Skin classic skis are built for speed with little upkeep. Replaceable mohair-skin inserts provide great kick in all conditions, with only occasional waxing needed in the glide zones, so when the snow falls, the R-Skins are ready to go—day after day. The race-ready Nomex Honeycomb core is lightweight, with excellent compression behavior and strength for high performance. Extra fiberglass laminate provides stiffness and power for seasoned athletes and expert skiers, and the K7000 race-finished base promotes glide in all snow conditions and temperatures. Expect to replace the mohair inserts after about 100-150 days of use.

Snowmobiles ARCTIC CAT ZR 8000 LIMITED 137 SNOWMOBILE: Nothing ruins a perfect powder day like a snowmobile that’s dead in the parking lot. New for 2016 is the Arctic Cat ZR 8000 Limited 137 snowmobile, with an improved clutch, as well as updated shocks and suspension, for a smoother and more reliable ride.

Arctic Cat partnered with TEAM Industries to develop the Rapid Response CVT clutch system for improved durability and reliability. Wider rollers and bigger buttons provide stability, consistent operation, and smooth clutch engagement. New Fox shocks provide a noticeably smoother ride with an easy external adjustment that keeps ride height and bump damping settings separate. Updated dual-rate springs in the rear suspension improve compliance and bring flatter cornering. Added tunnel flares direct flying snow debris back to the trail, correcting an issue in other Arctic Cat models.

inter is coming. Which means it’s almost time to kick the dust off your ski boots and cash in those sick days you’ve been stashing away. For those who find groomed slopes and lift rides too tame, Three Sisters Backcountry has brought a more ambitious skiing option to Central Oregon. There are no greens, blues, or black diamond runs on The Hut to Hut Nordic Traverse experience. Only unkempt powder awaiting fresh tracks.

views of Tam McArthur Rim and the Three Sisters. With sideline seats to the Cascades’ beauty at the second hut, guests want to arrive with enough daylight to explore the meadow at their final pit stop.

If 16 miles in two days sounds daunting, don’t worry.

The final leg of the trip is like the last 100 meters in a marathon. The shorter six-mile segment drops more than a thousand feet from the hut to the parking lot.

There are no age restrictions to reserve a spot on the Nordic Traverse trail. According to Tarlen,

“When you can go from point to point while you’re traveling it changes the whole experience.

It makes it an adventure.”

After an evening of defrosting and re-energizing in the hut, skiers take off the next day for another eight mile push to the Lone Wolf Hut, dwarfed by in-your-face

Snow conditions are variable and there’s no guarantee of a powder day. The trail can at times be packed and icy from previous guests, but it’s still the best option for secluded skiing in the area.

“We didn’t have a lot of snow last year, but it was actually a fantastic year to do the Nordic Traverse because you don’t need much snow to do it,” Tarlen says.

Rates are $225 per person, which includes the shuttle, lodging (sleeping bags are provided in both huts), food, and beer. Guests can book their excursion a week in advance, but it’s recommended to make reservations in the fall, especially when planning a holiday visit.

Aside from the Nordic Traverse, TSBC also offers a high altitude hut-to-hut experience on Tam McArthur Rim, guide service, and hut-based avalanche education courses.

“You have Meissner and Bachelor where people can skate ski and classic ski in loops, and then there’s backcountry skiing on big mountains,” says Jonas Tarlen, co-owner of Three Sisters Backcountry.

“But there’s a whole world of skiing in between where people can have a backcountry adventure and not worry about avalanche training or steep slopes.”

A half-hour shuttle ride takes groups to Dutchman Flat, where they depart and ski eight miles through oldgrowth hemlock forests north to the Happy Valley Hut. Constructed earlier this year, the steel-sided, wood interior hut is insulated and fits eight bunks, a stocked kitchen (with a fridge full of Good Life beer), living room, and wood stove. The amenities make it easy to pack light.

to-hut experience at Tam McArthur Rim, the Nordic Traverse trail traipses across rolling, gentle hills with no avalanche danger.

Those who take the nordic journey over the weekend get the hut exclusively to for group. For midweek visits (leaving Sun.-Wed.), the atmosphere resembles that of a hostel nestled away in the woods, as groups often end up bunking in the same hut as other guests.

Using metal-edged cross country skis or snowshoes as transportation, guests on this expedition travel from one hut to another on a 22-mile self-guided trail that snakes through the isolated Three Sisters Wilderness.

The first day of the experience begins with an early morning briefing to go over the route and snow conditions with the staff, all of whom are certified in wilderness survival and avalanche response. Guests are given a waterproof container enclosed with maps and route descriptions just in case the wand and diamond markers along the trail aren’t clear enough.

fitness and basic knowledge of offtrail nordic skiing are the only requirements. Last year was the first season TSBC offered this experience and the skiers and snowshoers ranged in age from 20 to their early 70s, Tarlen says.

Although TSBC does offer guided trips, groups on the Nordic Traverse are expected to be self-sufficient and prepared in case of an emergency. But the risk is relatively low. Unlike TSBC’s ascent/descent hut-

Snowmobiles are not permitted on the trail and there’s no humming snowcat motor to be heard; the only noise along the way comes from snow-toppled cracking branches, bird chirps, and your companions’ voices. It’s classic, old-fashioned skiing.

“At the Nordic Center, Mt. Bachelor, or most other places around here, you ski in a circle and come back to your car,” explains Tarlen.

“When you can go from point to point while you’re traveling it changes the whole experience. It makes it an adventure.”

Greensky Bluegrass turns a mandolin into something more

THE SOURCE

SUGGESTS

By Jared Rasic

Greensky Bluegrass plays at The Domino Room on 11/4.

ith Greensky Bluegrass, it isn’t just the name that’s the inverse of what’s expected, it’s the musical roots, too. Case in point: Bluegrass isn’t what Paul Hoffman, one of the two main songwriters in the bluegrass group, generally dials up when he wants to listen to music for fun.

“I don’t listen to very much bluegrass.

It does sort of happen to be [just] what I play,” Hoffman says in a recent phone interview. “I listen to some bluegrass and some other acoustic ensembles because I’m interested in them because I play it.

But my personal listening is usually more songwriter based.”

His music library includes a variety of genres, from indie rock to acoustic singer-songwriter. The common thread, Hoffman says, is the songwriting.

“If I find a writer I like, I’ll be hooked, no matter what kind of music it is,” he explains. “And I find a lot of inspiration listening to writers I like play different styles of music and hearing things that they do that wouldn’t be so natural for us to do in a bluegrass band without drums.”

The wider-ranging musical tastes make sense when one considers that Greensky Bluegrass isn’t exactly a purebred, dyedin-the-wool type of bluegrass group. That may have something to do with the fact that Hoffman came to bluegrass a bit later than many musicians in the genre. He had already spent several years playing guitar when, after seeing a David Grisman concert at age 18, he found himself drawn to the mandolin. Soon he began to discover he was more suited to that instrument and that he liked what bluegrass had to offer.

“When I was playing guitar and writing songs before I started playing the mandolin, it was definitely a real folk-oriented kind of thing. I wasn’t able to musically

express myself as fluidly as I can on the mandolin now,” Hoffman says. “Then when I learned playing bluegrass with these guys [in Greensky Bluegrass], I enjoyed singing a lot, so the harmony singing intrigued me.”

Greensky Bluegrass in 2000 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. A big break came in 2006, when the group won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition. This earned Greensky Bluegrass a main stage slot at the 2007 festival.

The fact that Hoffman (like his bandmates) has never limited himself to bluegrass is one reason that Greensky Bluegrass, which last fall released a new studio album, If Sorrows Swim, is known for pushing at the boundaries of the genre.

The band has continued to gain momentum since, as Greensky Bluegrass, which now has five studio albums in its catalog, focused much of its touring efforts on playing rock clubs, rock festivals, and jam band events and festivals, while continuing to keep its foot in the bluegrass circuit.

Yes, the group has the instrumental configuration common to the idiom, with mandolin (played by Hoffman), acoustic guitar (Dave Bruzza—the group’s other main songwriter), banjo (Michael Arlen Bont), upright bass (Michael Devol), and steel guitar (Anders Beck, who also plays guitar). And bluegrass is certainly the predominant ingredient in the group’s songs.

But Greensky Bluegrass also brings a good bit of rock in its song-centric approach, both in the energy and edgy nature of much of its material. And some songs are every bit as rock in their cadence, structure, and rhythm as they are bluegrass. A good example, from If Sorrows Swim, is “Wings For Wheel,” which has a decidedly more measured rock tempo and chords that are easily more rock anthem than bluegrass. Other new songs, such as “Windshield,” (which has a certain ambience to go with its rich vocal melody), “The Four” (a chunky tune that suggests the Counting Crows gone acoustic), and “Just Listening” (an especially tuneful charmer) also display a rock/pop influence to go with their bluegrass/acoustic sound.

But the bluegrass influence is apparent even in those songs, and it’s especially strong in tracks like “Burn Them,” “A Letter to Seymour,” and “Kerosene.”

The group started crafting its sound after Hoffman, Bruzza, and Bont formed

The adventurous nature of Greensky Bluegrass is apparent, both on record and live. On If Sorrows Swim, the group gambled by choosing to develop some songs in the studio instead of first playing and refining them on tour before recording.

MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHEY Michael Martin Murphey is an old-school cowboy and self-described “singer of American Cowboy Music.” His work in Austin during the 1970s is nothing short of legendary, while playing alongside Willie Nelson and Jerry Jeff Walker. After his first album was released, Rolling Stone wrote, “On the strength of his first album alone, Michael Murphey is the best new songwriter in the country.” Murphey brings his downhome country sound to Redmond to share his acclaimed songwriting skills with Central Oregon. 9 pm. Saturday, Oct. 24. Deschutes Expo Center, 3800 SW Airport Way. $15.

“It’s kind of scary to record tunes that haven’t been road tested,” Hoffman says.

“It’s nice to sort of give the song a chance to grow up and take flight a little bit [live] before committing to what is going to be the arrangement that’s going to be the studio version that people listen to. But it’s also fun to do the other thing.”

Playing new songs won’t be the only way Greensky Bluegrass tests itself and its audience in concerts.

“We play a lot of material that people wouldn’t expect from a bluegrass band per se. A lot of our subject matter is different and maybe more risqué than you might expect,” Hoffman says. “We take some chances on the records as well, but in the live show, we have a lot more time to spread our wings and really explore and experiment.”

The Lil’ Smokies pack a big sound

By Jared Rasic 19 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 43 / October 22, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The Lil' Smokies play at McMenamins on 10/28. Photo by Ashley Rhian Photography.

I

t would be simplest to describe The Lil’ Smokies as bluegrass, which is pretty accurate, but there is something else there not as easily definable.

Most bluegrass has an effortless and unattainable vibe to it, where the audience can dance and have a wonderful time, but the technique is so complicated that there is always somewhat of a remove.

The Lil’ Smokies, a six-piece band from Missoula, Montana, make bluegrass less technical and more organic, like a sweaty, multi-layered rock band that just so happens to have a dobro, fiddle, and a mandolin.

then mellows it back down again with four-part vocal harmonies that would be just as at home on a pub stage as they would be in the Appalachians.

Songs like “Lakeview Drive” and “The Toothfairy” take the time-honored lightning-fast bluegrass sound and combine it with insightful and lovely songwriting, where tracks like “Mending the Fence” and “Courtney” have a mournful and sweeping elegance that brings to mind Mumford and Sons without the condescension.

“Everyone in the band has a wide array of influences. From scream metal to subtle folk music, and gypsy jazz to Hendrix, this band has a little bit of everything running through our veins and iPods at all times,” Dunnigan explains. “This is a huge factor in our sound and how we strive to push the boundaries and stigma of what bluegrass is to the mass majority.”

“After every show at least one or two

people always come up to us and say

something along the lines of, ‘I never really liked bluegrass music until tonight,’” “The band started in the winter of 2009 at a typical college house party,” says vocalist and dobro player Andy Dunnigan. “We ended up staying up all night playing and discovered a serious connection via the affinity we had for acoustic music and bluegrass especially. From there we busked and made our way to the bars--never taking ourselves too seriously until it was.”

That connection is evident in their sound, which takes traditional bluegrass melodies, folds it up with the progressive freedom of newgrass, and

The Lil’ Smokies have really opened themselves up to a much larger audience this year upon winning the 2015 Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition. They join bands like The Dixie Chicks, Run Boy Run, and The Hillbenders as champions of this widely-renowned competition.

“The main impetus for our decision to enter the competition was really all about the possibility that we might be able to climb aboard and be apart of something that, for us all individually, symbolized the holy grail of traditional and

modern bluegrass music,” Dunnigan says. “Telluride embodies a lot of the reason why we started playing in the first place.”

He recalls attending the festival in 2005 and 2006.

The then 18-year-old was just starting to play the guitar and dobro.

“I so vividly remember walking around Telluride seeing Bela Fleck and Jerry Douglas eating lunch outside, not being hassled, just being regular guys.

I watched the band competition and knew that I would love to do that one day,” Dunnigan says. “I left that place with a fire under my ass to practice, and I did. I’m not the only one though; everyone in this band has an analogous story about their own Telluride experiences. The impetus was literally trying to make a dream come true.”

But even if bluegrass just isn’t your thing, The Lil’ Smokies still might be. Dunnigan says its not uncommon to find people converted at their shows.

“After every show at least one or two people always come up to us and say something along the lines of, ‘I never really liked bluegrass music until tonight,’” explains Dunnigan. “I think this stems from our live shows, which are very high energy, and very much analogous to your experience at a rock concert. We try to transcend the prejudice and stigma that bluegrass has been rendered.”

Watch JT Holmes, Seth Wescott, Caroline Gleich, Steven Nyman, Marcus Caston, Ingrid Backstrom and more as they pursue turns on the mountains of our dreams—the French Alps, Alaska’s Chugach, Utah’s Wasatch, the Chilean Andes and the mightiest range of them all: the Himalaya.

“This year’s film will inspire viewers to search out their dreams and find freedom,” says Director of Cinematography Chris Patterson, who has been making films with Warren Miller for 24 years. “ Our athletes show us that anything is possible if your passions and desires are in the right direction.”

IN GRID BAC KSTROM Who taught you how to ski?

My parents

Favorite place to après?

The Snorting Elk, at Crystal Mountain, and PlumpJack in Squaw Valley Snack of choice?

Fruit, peanut butter -- sometimes both at the same time.

When do you feel most confident?

After an amazing ski run, especially if I hiked up it beforehand.

When do you feel most insecure?

When I’m indoors, puzzling over some sort of organizational or computer task -not my strongsuit.

N E PA L Athletes: Rob Kingwill, Seth Wescott Guides: Himalayan Heli Ski Guides Equipment: Snowboards, Helicopter, Rickshaw, Elephant After weeks of delays and travel mishaps to Kathmandu, snowboarders Rob Kingwill and Seth Wescott find themselves in Nepal, one of the world’s most visually striking and culturally rich countries. Kingwill, always an optimist, says “it’s not really an adventure until something goes wrong.” After exploring the countryside, the two snowboarders arrive at 17,000 feet in the Himalaya, carving and floating amongst some of the most stunning geological features on the planet, the Annapurna Mountain Range. Back at Annapurna Basecamp, Wescott and Kingwill share their love for snowboarding with Sherpas and local staff. The guys find that in a location like Nepal, it’s easy to reflect on why it is they do what they do.

Home mountain: Crystal Mountain, WA and Squaw Valley, CA

Do you have any notable accomplishments in skiing? Awards?

12 Powder Awards (Reader Poll and Best Female Performance), recently named one of the Ten Best American Freeskiers of All Time by ESPN Who is/are your hero(s) in life outside of skiing?

My parents, my grandma, and my fiance Jim.

If you weren’t a professional athlete, what would be your dream job?

A doctor, if I could hack it.

Any final thoughts for us?

Thanks for always being so awesome--it’s such a pleasure to film with Warren Miller and work with all of the amazing skiers, camera-people, editors, and everyone else.

ART WATCH

By Alli Miles

grouse has been at the center of a historic conservation effort that

recently culminated in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife’s controversial decision not to afford the grouse protection under the Endangered Species Act. The bird’s habitat, the great sagebrush sea stretching from Washington to New Mexico, has been disrupted by mining, natural gas drilling, cattle grazing, invasive cheatgrass, and wildfires, causing the species to decline by as much as 90 percent. Oregon alone has lost an estimated 50 percent of its sage grouse population in the last 20 years.

Following this momentous decision, the High Desert Museum is hosting an exhibit, “Sage Grouse: Icon of the Sagebrush Sea,” which explores the natural history, cultural significance, and conservation efforts to protect the sage grouse and its habitat. Noted wildlife photographer, Noppadol Paothong, will

’m sure if Shakespeare lived in modern times, he would have fully embraced the zombie genre with both doublet-ensconced arms. Imagine the drama that would have erupted in A Midsummer Night’s Dream if Bottom and Puck had to team up to take out some undead a-holes, or if Macbeth had to worry about zombies AND Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane. Will could have used zombies as the ultimate metaphor for the ruling class and their consumption of the poor and working class (not that he needed much help with metaphor).

But William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead: A True and Accurate Account of the 1599 Zombie Plague isn’t just about mashing zombies into Shakespeare’s time for some cheap and easy laughs. The script by John Heimbuch takes real-life characters like Francis Bacon, Richard Burbage, Queen Elizabeth, and William Shakespeare himself and places them in an historical context where zombies might actually make a bit of sense.

The show takes place in the Globe Playhouse in the summer of 1599. Shakespeare has just opened Henry V and as patron and actors alike wrap up, a plague-ridden madman bites the company’s costumer, setting about a chain of events that sees these characters becoming action heroes in their own right. The script is witty and filled with self-referential humor to not only Shakespeare’s work, but to living a life in the theater as well.

The show is part of CTC’s All Aspects Teen Theatre program, with mastermind Brad Thompson teaching the students as well as directing the production. When asked why he chose Land of the Dead, Thompson answered with his typically wry wit.

“With the recent popularity growth of the zombie genre, I thought it would be a great way to incorporate the physical element of acting, use an intelligent script, and allow the kids to get into make-up design,” he explains. “Most of the kids are getting the history lesson and the literary lesson—the references to plays yet unwritten, characters that are historically based. It has it all: good story, good characters, good writing, and zombies.

Really, that’s all you need.”

The program itself is more than a year old, with the first workshop containing only two students. This past summer they held a four-week workshop for 17 kids and Land of the Dead has a cast of more than 20. Ages range from 12 to 17 and no one is priced out of participating.

“One of the main goals of All Aspects is to keep the program affordable,” Thompson says. “For all of our workshops and productions, I really want to focus on the teaching and learning, as opposed to raising revenue.”

CHOW A New Wave

Volcano Veggies sets the standard for aquaponics

By Jon Paul Jones

Talk to LaPaw

Volcano Veggies aquaponics growing system.

C

entral Oregon isn’t known for being well-hydrated. So intrepid farmers have to find creative ways to ensure their crops get enough water and weather extreme changes in temperature. That’s why local company Volcano Veggies is embracing aquaponics, a method that builds on hydroponics by growing plants in water that is naturally fertilized by aquatic creatures.

And that tenacity recently won the Bend company a $25,000 Grand Prize in the Wells Fargo Works Project contest, which recognized Volcano Veggies as one of five top winners out of more than 40,000 entries from small businesses across the country.

“It’s an incredible honor to have been selected as Grand Prize winners for this contest,” said Shannon Sbarra, who co-owns the company with her husband James, in a release last month. “We are thrilled that our passion for healthy, sustainable food has been recognized, and can’t wait to get started working with the Wells Fargo business mentors.”

That cash prize and business mentoring will be put to bold use, as Volcano Veggies plans to double its production, optimize operations, and expand to new locations.

“We plan to build indoor vertical farms in communities across the country, providing freshly harvested, organic produce all year-round,” Sbarra explained. “With a proprietary aquaponic system, we use 99 percent less water than traditional farms and there is zero water pollution. Our organic veggies taste delicious, last longer, and are healthier than commodity or hydroponic produce.”

So what exactly does all that mean? In laymen’s terms, aquaponics starts with fish (in this case tilapia) living in a tank together and fed organic food. The fish produce natural waste products (yes, pee and poo), which are then pumped from the tanks to the soil-free beds of the plants and enrich them with the bacteria.

Then the beds filter the soiled water, which is returned to the fish tanks. It’s a symbiotic ecosystem that sustains itself with minimal outside support. The fish

and the plants rely on each other for survival, and each one could not thrive independently without the other in an aquaponics system.

On a recent tour of the Volcano Veggies warehouse, the Sbarras describe it as a “work in progress.” At present, they use their warehouse space primarily for their growing operation, which includes mixed greens like lettuce, mint, and basil, all of which can be purchased either from local retail grocers, or subscription-style directly via their website on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The cost is approximately $5.99 for a box, which can be picked up in person, or delivered to a Bend residence for $2 extra. In the future they also plan on selling their tilapia, and growing and selling strawberries and tomatoes.

Currently there are only a handful of certified organic aquaponics growing operations in the entire world. This is cutting edge stuff, but even within this rarified field, Volcano Veggies is blazing trails. For starters, they have crafted a system of aquaponics that is unique to the their industry, and they hope to create a model that can roll out as a nationwide standard in aquaponics farming.

“It’s a modular and agile approach to indoor farming,” Shannon explains. “Our system can be applied as a family-size home unit, or scaled up to create a large commercial farm. This allows us to adapt to rapidly changing technology and improve our system each time we build a new one.”

Other plans for the future include remodeling their warehouse to be used for so much more. They have envisioned a space that can be used as a quasi-retail offering for “ready-made” produce to pickup. So instead of only being able to buy from a grocer, you could buy directly from their shop. They are also aiming for “space sharing” with some other businesses, to create a sort of “business ecosystem” that encourages resource sharing and building synergy within a community space.

Distributor churn leads to more competition

By Kevin Gifford

BRAYAN GONZALEZ ASSOCIATE OF ARTS OREGON TRANSFER DEGREE “Attending COCC has been the best two years of my life and the classes and professors who teach them are incomparable. The cost was also a big draw. It’s a no brainer to attend an institution that has amazing classes and puts students first at a fraction of the cost of what it would be at a four-year university.

“A lot of people and even prospective students may be put off because COCC has the label of a “community college.” I want to let them know that COCC is so much more than that.

COCC is fully invested in the success of their students. No matter if you’re fresh out of high school or you’ve been out of school for 30 years and just decided to come back.”

eer, by its nature, is seasonal—not just in terms of seasonal releases, but in the natural churn of brands available across Bend’s shiny beer-shop coolers.

Take Orlison Brewing, for example.

Remember them? The lager-only brewery, based near Spokane, descended onto the Central Oregon scene in late 2013, offering innovative takes on the classic genre including the caramel-like Lizzy’s Red and the dark and roasty Ünderground “stout lager.” But don’t bother looking for their gray-and-black tallboy cans around town, because they pulled out of Oregon in early 2015, necessitating a trip to Vancouver to enjoy their stuff. The reason?

“There were some things going on” with their distributor, one Orlison rep told the Source at last month’s Great American Beer Festival, although he declined to go into details.

But with craft beer still firmly in the “boom” phase of the curve, if someone bows out, there’s always someone else out there to take their place. Most recently, for example, Knee Deep Brewing made its debut in bottles across Bend—and their beers couldn’t be more different from Orlison’s.

Knee Deep, a local favorite across much of Central California, has a pretty interesting story. It was founded in June 2010

by Jeremy Warren, who began brewing on a contract basis with a Lake Tahoe-based company and mostly distributed kegs to metro Reno, Nevada. Warren and company, “CEO & Janitor” Jerry Moore, moved the operation to the Sacramento suburb of Lincoln a year later, segueing out of contract brewing and quickly making a name for itself across California with intense IPAs. Now they have a 40-barrel system churning away in the nearby town of Auburn, expanding their distribution across 13 states and two provinces, with more expansion to come.

How did they grow so fast? Chiefly, it’s thanks to their tongue-melting IPAs, a genre that almost monopolizes their bottle lineup. Breaking Bud is their baseline beer, offering tropical bitterness with its Simcoe and Mosaic hop package, but their real flagship is the Hoptologist Double IPA, a nine percent ABV number whose blend of German, Canadian, and UK malts creates a taste profile akin to chewing on a pine tree. Not quite enough for you? Then march right over to their Simtra Triple IPA, a Citra/Simcoe megaton bomb clocking in at 131 IBUs. One gets the sneaking suspicion that, with this sort of lineup, Knee Deep’s gonna fit in just fine around here.

High Desert Tree Peeping

Central Oregon isn’t renowned for fall foliage, but it should be. True, we’re lacking in the big hardwood giants that makes going to New England in the fall an item on many a bucket list, but we don’t suffer a lack of autumn awesomeness around these parts either.

E

very week, Molly Johnson posts at least one hiking trip to the Bend Adventure Group’s online Meetup page. The trips are typically recreational, but she also leads work parties into the wilderness to install trail signs, clean backcountry camp sites, and, unfortunately, pick up human and dog waste along the trails.

necessary to preserve the health of the forests.

Johnson moved to Bend in 2001 from her native Iowa after earning a masters degree in physical therapy. She came to Central Oregon for the reason most do—a love of the wilderness.

According to Fisher, these groups help build and maintain local community support for wilderness while fostering wilderness ethics and stewardship. These groups also promote natural resource and wilderness education and provide boots on the ground for volunteer stewardship projects.

“When I got out of school, therapy jobs were plentiful so I could go anywhere I wanted,” she said. “I was definitely looking for a drier, milder climate and longer ski season.”

With an expressed love for mountains, Johnson took out a map and circled places of interest, with Bend being one of them.

“I wanted a small town compared to where I was living,” she said. “So I came out to visit for a week, got a job, and moved immediately.”

With the growing popularity of the Cascades wilderness area, Johnson quickly discovered that the accessible backcountry that brought her to Bend was beginning to show signs of overuse. Hiking the always popular Green Lakes-Soda Creek trail system began to frustrate her as she noticed increasing instances of trash left along the trail as well as users creating their own paths.

“I was beginning to feel that the beautiful place I had moved to was being lost,” she lamented.

A chance meeting with wilderness rangers spurred Johnson into action, resulting in the creation of the Friends of the Central Cascades Wilderness in 2014.

According to Jason Fisher, lead wilderness ranger for the Deschutes National Forest, a friends-based nonprofit organization such as what Johnson started is becoming

“Friends groups are essential as they can help take on some of the large workloads that forests have when we do not have adequate staffing,” he said. “FCCW is new, but is growing fast, and we are excited to be working with this new partner.”

It was Johnson and two friends that attended the organization’s first meeting, lining up summer season projects that included Three Creeks cross country ski trails signing, Obsidian Trail monitoring, fire ecology hikes, Golden Lake and Lake Matthieu rehabilitation and trail signing, and wilderness solitude monitoring.

Johnson and Fisher both noted that ease of access to the wilderness in Central Oregon is a good and bad feature.

As communities build closer to the wilderness boundary it becomes a challenge to balance that access with maintaining the wilderness experience.

“We need to maintain that experience for all,” said Johnson. “The wilderness needs to be managed with vegetation, wildlife, and clean water and air.”

A study by Oregon State University seems to underscore Johnson’s concerns.

In 1993, there were six to eight visitors per hour on the Green Lakes Trail, while in 2014, the same trail saw 29 to 41 people, a 500 percent increase.

“That trail has evolved from a small path to a wide path,” explained Johnson. “The increased activity displaces wildlife and kills vegetation.”

Fisher agreed.

“These impacts increase erosion and sedimentation of lakes and streams, which has a negative impact on water quality and fisheries,” he said. “Additionally, wilderness values and character are threatened, specifically the idea of finding solitude in wilderness which can be difficult in popular sites.”

Johnson’s hope is not to discourage visitors to the wilderness, just to make them more conscious of their impact and willing to minimize it.

“The rangers are outnumbered and they cannot pick up the trash fast enough,” she said. “It comes back to everyone in the Central Oregon community needing to be a steward of the land.”

This might be the most scenic park in all of Bend, particularly in the fall when aspen and larch trees set autumn skies alight like nearly neon columns of amber, while the understory is punctuated with pops of orange and red. The trail system serves as a choose-your-own-adventure allowing for a short stroll along Tumalo Creek, a meaty trail run, or a mellow singletrack mountain bike ride. Head out of downtown Bend west on Newport Avenue continuing straight at the two roundabouts.

At the third roundabout, 1.25 miles from downtown, continue straight as the road changes names to NW Shevlin Park Road.

Follow NW Shevlin Park Road, straight through two more roundabouts, making a total of five roundabouts, for another 2.75 miles to Shevlin Park on your left.

To accomplish her goals, Johnson needs volunteers, not all of who need to hike and work on trails.

“We need people to help out with administrator duties and trail hosting,” said Johnson. “People who are willing to hang out at a trail head for a few hours to greet users, answer questions and help them fill out wilderness permits.”

Now with 68 members, Johnson has planned more ambitious projects for this year at Green Lakes and Matthieu Lakes to restore designated campsites, offer educational hikes, and install additional signage at trail intersections.

All with the idea of preserving what she finds so special about Central Oregon.

“I like the opportunity to go out in nature and feel like I am away from the noise of the city and the business of my life in town,” she noted. “Some people do yoga and others mediate. I prefer to go sit in the wilderness. That is my peace and happiness.”

UPPER DESCHUTES The best way to see autumn’s handy work here is by foot. Hiking downstream it’s easy to take in the subtle beauty of shade-shifting sedges and grasses along banks as they give way to the bright yellow willows set against deep green pines.

There are a number of great spots, but the stretch of river between Bull Bend and Wyeth campgrounds is a gentle stroll that affords a really good chance of seeing wildlife as well. Both campgrounds are accessible by taking 97 South to County Route 43 for 7.9 miles, follow the signs off Forest Road 4370 from there.

So Bloody Romantic Crimson Peak defies genre

By Jared Rasic 41 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 43 / October 22, 2015 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

C

rimson Peak is going to divide audiences. The advertising campaign is definitely selling, while not quite a different movie, something a little more comfortably defined as horror, when the film is actually a very old-fashioned ghost story.

acter here is overshadowed by the Sharpe siblings almost completely. Chastain and Hiddleston lounge around in their dialogue so completely, that it is hard to empathize with Wasikowska, who is saddled playing a Mary Sue archetype.

This is a violent gothic romance with some ghosts, secrets, bodice ripping, and face smashing. Anyone expecting something along the lines of a period version of The Shining or Insidious will not only be disappointed, they’ll unfairly judge a film on a marketing campaign the filmmakers had no control over.

All of the complicated backstory, the dark deviousness, and disturbing behavior are supplied by The Sharpes, whose performances (along with the always excellent Jim Beaver as Edith’s father, Carter Cushing) are what make the film much better than it would have been.

Crimson Peak is the story of Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska), an American writer, who meets the handsome and somewhat dashing British aristocrat, Thomas Sharpe (played by the dashing and handsome Tom Hiddleston).

After falling in love almost instantly, Edith moves to Allerdale Hall in England to live with Thomas and his cold and removed older sister Lucille (a wonderful Jessica Chastain). To tell much more of the story would be unfair, although the trailers for this film have once again done it a disservice by showing way too much of the third act.

Wasikowska can be an excellent actress as she has proven in the underrated HBO show "In Treatment" and the criminally under-seen masterpiece Stoker, but her char-

The real star, however, is Allerdale Hall, the Sharpe family home. The multi-story set is breathtaking in all its rotting and sumptuous glory. There is a hole in the roof right in the entryway, so there are always leaves, snow, and other detritus slowly falling to the floor in the bloated and close-to-ruined mansion. Even though the film isn’t scary (just gruesome) and does not create much tension, Guillermo del Toro’s always exquisite direction makes Allerdale Hall feel like a real location with all the baroque tonality that it brings.

The main problem with the film (aside from Edith’s Mary Sue-ish nature) is the script, which fails to lock down what is really the most important aspect of the picture: the romance between Edith and Thomas. Their romance is

one of those movie contrivances where they have love at first sight, not because of character, dialogue, or proper storytelling, but because the script needs them to. Wasikowska and Hiddleston just don’t have the chemistry to sell us on a Jack and Rose, eternal love-type relationship.

If people are just there for the ghosts and violence, it might not be bothersome, but much of the final act of the film hinges on the audience believing in the strength of their connection and it just isn’t there. It’s in the text, but not in what was filmed.

Overall, Crimson Peak is a leisurely-paced gothic, romantic ghost story with a very simple plot designed only to allow del Toro to sate his inner Mary Shelley. The lack of tension and scares make for a bizarre filmgoing experience, since the design of the ghosts are original and excellent. In fact, it’s probably the most beautifully designed “horror” film ever made, and while it didn’t need to be scary, it did need to build enough tension to sell the thrills of the final act. At least more than the trailer did.

Back to the Future Part II

Chasing Shadows

Beyond Measure

Now that we live in the future that Back to the Future Part II promised us and it is devoid of hover boards, flying cars, 3D shark attacks on street corners, and blow-drying jackets, it’s hard to know whether to be depressed or overjoyed. While the film was much-maligned upon initial release, time has been much kinder to the film than the third part of this classic trilogy. It’s still hard not to be swept up in the adventures of Doc Brown, Marty McFly, and all of those neon jackets.

The Warren Miller brand has meant more to snowboarding and ski documentaries than just about any other name in the business. So when a new film of theirs is released, it isn’t just a screening, it is an event worthy of screening at The Tower Theatre. Join some of the top athletes on the planet as they travel the world and carve across snowy paths some of us can only dream of setting foot on. Check the SCREEN section for a deeper look at the documentary.

From rural Kentucky to Manhattan and beyond, public schools are breaking away from the test-driven curriculum that has dominated our education system for decades. This documentary focuses on schools that are using a different vision with critical thinking, creativity, and experimentation being the skills of importance much more than a regimented and unimaginative system designed to churn out youth that test well, but without any of the skills that make them special.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic 99 HOMES: A topical drama starring Michael

BEYOND MEASURE: The high school graduation rates in Oregon are just a step above dismal, hovering at around 68% and keeping us the lowest rate in the nation even as other states' rates continue climbing.

This documentary takes a look at our failing education system and tries to come up with ideas for how to put our schools back on track because test-based curriculum does not seem to be cutting it. Saturday, October 24.

6:30pm. Mountain View High School BLACK MASS: Critics are saying that Black 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, Sisters Movie House

BRIDGE OF SPIES: Steven Spielberg’s first film since the masterful Lincoln sees Tom Hanks as an American lawyer recruited by the CIA during the cold war. While Spielberg’s 2000’s output has been stronger than he gets credit for, a re-teaming with Tom Hanks for a spy thriller seems like just the thing to get the critics back on his side. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX CRIMSON PEAK: Guillermo del Toro has had a rough few years with the underwhelming critical and financial success of Pacific Rim and having to leave The Hobbit films before production began. But now del Toro goes back to the genre that made him famous with a gothic horror film starring Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska. This film has been advertised heavily for the last nine months, so here’s hoping it lives (dies?) up to the hype. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX EVEREST 3D: 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) actually enhances the film greatly. Seeing the depth of frame as thousands of feet separate men from the ground should make for a whiteknuckle film-going experience. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

GOOSEBUMPS 3D: Advanced word says this is the most fun children’s film since Zathura (which we all know was better than Jumanji). Jack Black plays R.L. Stine, the author of the 200+ series of kid-oriented Goosebumps horror novels. When all of the monsters from his stories escape the pages and jump into the real world, he must team up with some wily kids to capture them all over again.

Count me in! Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 3D: While the first one has its moments, Adam Sandler isn’t having a great year and this animated sequel will most likely follow that trend. In this one, Dracula has a brand new grandson, who disappointingly isn’t showing any monster tendencies. No matter what, it won’t be worse than Pixels. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE INTERN: Robert De Niro grows bored with retirement and becomes the intern of Anne Hathaway, the CEO of an online fashion magazine. Of course he doesn’t like comput-

ers or technology of any kind, which makes perfect sense for him to work for an online magazine because it's a comedy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KHALIL JIBRAN’S THE PROPHET: An animated adaptation of Khalil Gibran’s beloved philosophy/self-help novel. The film tells the story of Mustafa, an exiled artist and poet who goes on an epic journey because of the power behind his words. Easily adaptable and understandable for kids, the film is perfect for parents to share The Prophet’s message with their children. Tin Pan Theater

43

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER: There is a lot riding on this one. Vin Diesel is out to prove he can carry a franchise without “Fast” in the title, plus if The Last Witch Hunter does well, Vinnie has a chance to get funding for a new Riddick adventure. Diesel plays the last witch hunter, who is all that is protecting humanity from the occult forces of doom. The trailers are scarily reminiscent of the dreadful Seventh Son, but Diesel’s weird presence might carry the day. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Haunted House

THE MARTIAN: Matt Damon plays Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded on Mars alone, figuring out how to survive until help can (possibly) come for him. Prepare for this to be a smash hit the size of Gravity, but with better science, acting, and storyline. The book is a classic and advanced word says the film reaches those same heights. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX

MAZE RUNNER: THE SCORCH TRIALS: 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

PAN: Cashing in on America’s love of an origin story, Pan tells the story of Peter as a boy discovering Neverland, not as a pansexual demigod/ruler of lost children. With direction from Joe Wright (Atonement, Hanna), the film should at least look very pretty, regardless of possible dubious content. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SICARIO: Emily Blunt plays an idealistic FBI agent who learns the brutal reality about keeping Mexico and the United States from the drug cartels. Sicario is Spanish for “Assassin” if that tells you anything. Word on the street says this will be the film to beat for Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Actor (Benicio Del Toro) in the 2015 Oscar race. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

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

THE WALK 3D: With the most breathtaking (and terrifying) 3D in history, The Walk tells the story of Philippe Petit, the French daredevil who walked a balance beam between the Twin Towers in 1974. If you are afraid of heights, this film will make you run from the theater, queasy to the core, especially with the depth the 3D adds to the frame. You feel like you are up there with him.

ADVICE GODDESS High, I Think I Love You

—Lacking Thunderbolts Getting the chills the moment you set eyes on a person may be a sign that you have love at first sight—or an incipient case of malaria. (In time, you’ll find out whether you have lasting love or lasting liver damage, seizures, and death.)

Love at first sight is made out to be the rare, limited-edition Prada purse of relationships—that extra-special luvvier kind of love that we romantic commoners don’t get access to. However, what the “first-sighters” actually have is not the enduring love poets write about but the kind animal behaviorists do—when the boy baboon spots the girl baboon’s big red booty. People in this fleeting first phase of love are basically on a biochemical bender, high off their asses from raging hormones and neurotransmitters, and shouldn’t be operating heavy machinery or making plans any heavier than where to show up for dinner on Tuesday.

Those who end up staying together will often sniff, “We just knew!”—which sounds better than “We are idiots who got hitched 20 minutes after meeting and got lucky we turned out to be wellmatched.” Their initial belief that they’re perfect for each other is probably driven by a cognitive bias—an error in reasoning—that psychologists call “the halo effect.” Like the glow cast by a halo, the glow from “Wow, she’s hot!” spills over, leading to an unsupportedly positive view of a person’s as-yet-unseen qualities. But, early in a relationship, you can only guess how someone will behave—say, at 3 a.m., when you’re awakened by period cramps that feel as if some big Vegas boxing match accidentally got scheduled in your uterus. Will he mumble “feel better” and roll over or go to the drugstore and roll you home a barrel of hippo-strength Midol?

Maybe real romance is finding out all the ways somebody’s disturbingly human and loving them anyway. This happens about a year in, after the party manners have fallen off and after you see—for example—whether your partner fights ugly or like someone who loves you but thinks you’ve temporarily fallen into the idiot bin. In other words, you’re wise to get to know this guy instead of immediately drawing little sparkly hearts in your head about your magical future together.

Keep unpacking who you both are and

Toad Rage I’m in my early 40s and newly divorced. I fooled around with this guy—my first time with somebody besides my husband in 12 years. We had weekend plans, but two days passed with no texts from him.

I texted him angrily, repeatedly telling him he’d hurt my feelings, and he cut off contact. Now, months later, he has resurfaced, saying I’ve been in his thoughts. What could he want?

—Puzzled Men you’ve dated briefly will sometimes resurface—much like bloated dead bodies in New York’s East River.

As for why this one’s coming around again, chances are, the paint on “she’s crazy” dried and he remembered that you are also pretty and do that crazy thing with your tongue. Okay, so you were short on nonchalance in your first post-divorce dating situation. After a long sex-and-affection famine, a newly divorced woman, like any starving refugee, is unlikely to simply nudge a hot piece of meat around on her plate like one of those skeletal “ladies who lunch” (but do not eat).

The truth is you probably weren’t going off on him merely because he failed to meet your text-pectations. Your behavior most likely stemmed from what psychologists call a “priming effect,” describing how exposure to one situation colors how you react to another. Being mindful of this can help you tell a guy what you need and give him a chance to come through—instead of immediately texting him with all the casual cool of a kidnapper demanding a bag of unmarked small bills. Should you give this guy another chance, see that you’re only asking questions he’s prepared to answer, like where he went to elementary school and why his previous relationship ended—not “Will I be alone forever?” and “Wanna come over and try to fill the vast void I have inside?”

Two friends of mine are in “love at first sight” relationships. (One went from chills at seeing the guy to moving in with him weeks later.)

Each has said to me, “When it’s right, you just know.” Well, as I get to know this new guy I’m seeing, I like him more and more. It’s just not the instant love of the century like they have, and that makes me feel a little bad.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you an inventor? Is it your specialty to create novel gadgets and machines? Probably not. But in the coming weeks you may have metaphorical resemblances to an inventor. I suspect you will have an enhanced ability to dream up original approaches and find alternatives to conventional wisdom.

You may surprise yourself with your knack for finding ingenious solutions to long-standing dilemmas. To prime your instincts, I’ll provide three thoughts from inventor Thomas Edison. 1.

“To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” 2. “Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.” 3. “Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.”

er must now be partially unwoven. But please refrain from thinking of this mysterious development as a setback. Instead, consider it an opportunity to reexamine and redo any work that was a bit hasty or sloppy. Be glad you will get a second chance to fix and refine what wasn’t done quite right the first time. In fact, I suggest you preside over the unraveling yourself. Don’t wait for random fate to accomplish it. And for best results, formulate an intention to regard everything that transpires as a blessing.

winter wellness edition

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish author Oscar Wilde.

I appreciate the wit, but don’t agree with him. A plain old ordinary waterfall, with foamy surges continually plummeting over a precipice and crashing below, is sufficiently impressive for me. What about you, Capricorn? In the coming days, will you be impatient and frustrated with plain old ordinary marvels and wonders? Or will you be able to enjoy them just as they are?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Years ago, I moved into a rental house with my new girlfriend, whom I had known for six weeks. As we fell asleep the first night, a song played in my head: “Nature’s Way,” by the band Spirit. I barely knew it and had rarely thought of it before. And yet there it was, repeating its first line over and over: “It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.” Being a magical thinker, I wondered if my unconscious mind was telling me a secret about my love. But I rejected that possibility; it was too painful to contemplate.

When we broke up a few months later, however, I wished I had paid attention to that early alert.

I mention this, Aquarius, because I suspect your unconscious mind will soon provide you with a wealth of useful information, not just through song lyrics but other subtle signals, as well. Listen up! At least some of it will be good news, not cautionary like mine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When I advise you to GET NAKED, I don’t mean it in a literal sense.

Yes, I will applaud if you’re willing to experiment with brave acts of self-revelation. I will approve of you taking risks for the sake of the raw truth.

But getting arrested for indecent exposure might compromise your ability to carry out those noble acts. So, no, don’t actually take off all your clothes and wander through the streets.

Instead, surprise everyone with brilliant acts of surrender and vulnerability. Gently and sweetly and poetically tell the Purveyors of Unholy Repression to take their boredom machine and shove it up their humdrum.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to the

g Ad space Reservation by October 30th g On the Stands November 5th 541.383.0800 advertise@bendsource.com www.bendsource.com

online etymological dictionary, the verb “fascinate” entered the English language in the 16th century. It was derived from the Middle French fasciner and the Latin fascinatus, which are translated as “bewitch, enchant, put under a spell.” In the 19th century, “fascinate” expanded in meaning to include “delight, attract, hold the attention of.” I suspect you will soon have experiences that could activate both senses of “fascinate.” My advice is to get the most out of your delightful attractions without slipping into bewitchment. Is that even possible? It will require you to exercise fine discernment, but yes, it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One of the largest machines in the world is a “bucket wheel excavator” in Kazakhstan. It’s a saw that weighs 45,000 tons and has a blade the size of a four-story building. If you want to slice through a mountain, it’s perfect for the job. Indeed, that’s what it’s used for over in Kazakhstan.

Right now, Taurus, I picture you as having a metaphorical version of this equipment. That’s because I think you have the power to rip open a clearing through a massive obstruction that has been in your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock did a daily ritual to remind him of life’s impermanence. After drinking his tea each morning, he flung both cup and saucer over his shoulder, allowing them to smash on the floor.

I don’t recommend that you adopt a comparable custom for long-term use, but it might be healthy and interesting to do so for now. Are you willing to outgrow and escape your old containers? Would you consider diverging from formulas that have always worked for you? Are there any unnecessary taboos that need to be broken? Experiment with the possible blessings that might come by not clinging to the illusion of “permanence.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Terence was a comic playwright in ancient Rome. He spoke of love in ways that sound modern. It can be capricious and weird, he said.

It may provoke indignities and rouse difficult emotions. Are you skilled at debate? Love requires you to engage in strenuous discussions. Peace may break out in the midst of war, and vice versa. Terence’s conclusion: If you seek counsel regarding the arts of love, you may as well be asking for advice on how to go mad. I won’t argue with him. He makes good points. But I suspect that in the coming weeks you will be excused from most of those crazy-making aspects. The sweet and smooth sides of love will predominate. Uplift and inspiration are more likely than angst and bewilderment. Take advantage of the grace period! Put chaos control measures in place for the next time Terence’s version of love returns.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the coming weeks, you will have a special relationship with the night. When the sun goes down, your intelligence will intensify, as will your knack for knowing what’s really important and what’s not. In the darkness, you will have an enhanced capacity to make sense of murky matters lurking in the shadows. You will be able to penetrate deeper than usual, and get to the bottom of secrets and mysteries that have kept you off-balance. Even your grimy fears may be transformable if you approach them with a passion for redemption.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): New friends and unexpected teachers are in your vicinity, with more candidates on the way. There may even be potential comrades who could eventually become flexible collaborators and catalytic guides. Will you be available for the openings they offer? Will you receive them with fire in your heart and mirth in your eyes? I worry that you may not be ready if you are too preoccupied with old friends and familiar teachers. So please make room for surprises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): More than any other sign, you have an ability to detach yourself from life’s flow and analyze its complexities with cool objectivity. This is mostly a good thing. It enhances your power to make rational decisions. On the other hand, it sometimes devolves into a liability. You may become so invested in your role as observer that you refrain from diving into life’s flow. You hold yourself apart from it, avoiding both its messiness and vitality.

But I don’t foresee this being a problem in the coming weeks. In fact, I bet you will be a savvy watcher even as you’re almost fully immersed in the dynamic flux.

The Skinny On Buying a Foreclosure

by Corinne Boyer

49

“Typically foreclosure properties have deferred maintenance and there are some additional costs to buyers during the process of inspections,” says Jeanne Moir with Hasson Company Realtors.

Moir says potential buyers need to be aware that banks have their own agreements, and they’re charging more.

“It’s a little bit longer of a process because banks’ contracts are null and void so its not a bad idea to have an attorney look at the agreement,” she says. Foreclosures are sold as is.

No matter how much of a deal buyers may think they are getting, a full-home inspection also protects buyers, allow-

efore deciding to buy a house for a price that seems too good to be true, buyers need to be willing to put money upfront for all the expenses that come with foreclosures.

ing them to know the true state of the property. Moir says foreclosed homes are being bought by larger companies at sheriff ’s sales or auctions before they go on the market. It’s important to understand that “some of those homes may have just cosmetic renovations,” she says.

Buyers also need to account for additional expenses like the cost of winterization.

Some homes have their water mains shut off in preparation for winter so homes need to be up and running in order to undergo a full home inspection. Because of the additional expenses and work, Moir says buyers should ask for a discount from the bank selling the foreclosure.

She suggests asking for a ten percent discount.

“There’s not a lot of supply for foreclosures; it’s a sellers’ market for the banks,” says Moir.

BEND’S PREMIERE DOWNTOWN DISPENSARY

Trend Setting

What’s next on the legal weed horizon

By Steve Holmes

A

s cannabis legalization moves forward in Oregon, the rest of the country seems to be moving quickly to catch up.

Based on information provided by Marijuana Policy Project, the financial news site 24/7 Wall St. identified 11 states that may soon legalize marijuana. Some of the candidates are obvious, like California and Massachusetts. And a with the exception of Nevada, the remainder of the states are all more liberal north eastern states: New York, Vermont, Minnesota, Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island, Maine, and Delaware.

California, which currently has two legalization bills on the table, is the bear in the room. Legalization there would increase the size of the legal cannabis market in the United States by more than five times and would likely represent the beginning of the end for federal prohibition.

New York has a similarly outsized economic impact. Where New York differs is that it is still enmeshed in the war on drugs, leading the country in cannabis-related arrests. New York also has two bills pending that would tax and regulate cannabis.

And it isn’t just states that are taking steps toward legalization. The federal government’s non-interference policy on state cannabis markets is also being applied to federally-recognized Indian Tribes. South Dakota’s Santee Sioux tribe wants to open the nation’s first cannabis resort as part of an “adult playground” that also includes a casino, nightclub, restaurant, video game arcade, and outdoor music venue.

Support for cannabis legalization is also building in the remainder of the Anglosphere. Canada’s newly-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to legalize cannabis across Canada. Trudeau says decriminalization of cannabis in Canada will save the Canadian taxpayers $500 million each year in justice-system costs.

In England, a petition calling for the total legalization of cannabis in the United Kingdom has been signed by more than 125,000 people in just four days and is due to be considered by a House of Commons committee.

Here in Bend, Smoke Signals has a new email address! If you have cannabis-related news or information to share, drop us a line at smokesignals@ bendsource.com.
