t has been a fun week at the Source. While it would be easy to assume that researching breweries for our annual Beer Issue is fun because of the perks (and, yes, thanks, Atlas, Red Tank, and Sunriver for the samples!), actually what has been most exciting about researching for these articles has been the optimism each of the brewers we interviewed have shown. It is truly infectious. The theme for this year’s Beer Issue is “On the Bubble.” While microbreweries are nothing new, what we noticed is several trends that are percolating—ideas that started small, like Atlas deciding three years ago to bring hard cider-making to Bend, and are now booming into major industries. We also noticed small batch brewers like Bridge 99 and Oblivion finding such warm reception to their products that their businesses are growing. And, we looked around and saw that the brewery craze is spilling well past Bend’s borders—and that Wild Ride in Redmond and Sunriver Brewing in, well . . .are establishing that beer is truly a regional industry. It is fun to report on optimism and success, and we are pleased to present several profiles of businesses and industry trends that are doing better than well, whose primary struggle is how to keep up with demand. Yes, it has been a fun week at the Source. (And yes, we had fun researching.)

IN REPLY TO “BIKE TOWN USA” (3/4)
My family and I moved to Bend in July of 2014. Part of our decision was the improved bike infrastructure compared with Charleston, SC, the town we moved from. We live on the west side and, when the weather is amenable, I ride my young daughters to school in the Old Mill area on my cargo bike. I find the cycling lanes to meet the barest level of safety for that ride, but the fact is I am hyper vigilant when I ride on the streets. I have to bear in mind at all times while riding that the smallest mistake by a person driving a car could be fatal to me and my girls. The fact is, to feel safe, the cycling lanes need to be physically separated from the roads. The stroke of genius would be for those who lay out bike lanes to abandon the concept of cars and bikes traveling the same lines of travel. Bike “lanes,” and for that matter pedestrian pathways, should follow lines of travel that your average 12-year-old on a bike would find—cut-throughs, shortcuts, and pathways that have nothing to do
The east-west corridor disconnect across Bend has been troublesome for decades, and it is NOT enjoyable to ride from someplace like downtown to, say, the hospital for a number of reasons besides the discontinuity of bike lanes. You also have to contend with: 1) badly chip-sealed/patched roads; 2) debris and rocks from winter sanding in the bike lanes that only gets swept once or maybe twice, seasonally; 3) storm drains/ manhole covers that are at much lower elevations from the layers of asphalt overlays and, lastly 4) striped lanes that are not even a basic three feet wide (such as along Penn/ Neff Road up and over the north flank of Pilot Butte). So, it’s not always the best consistency in Bend, but it’s better than some other U.S. towns, I guess. —Rachel Stemach via bendsource.com The missing piece is the drivers, and the combination of drivers that don’t know how to drive around cyclists, combined with the poor infrastructure that places cyclists closer to cars. I ride nearly every day, unless there’s ice, for over four years in Bend. Prior to that I commuted a total of 14 years in Eugene, Corvallis, and Portland. Too many drivers in Bend are ignorant of the laws and drive inattentively and a few outright aggressively. Of course the vast majority are very respectful, but for a novice commuter, it really only takes one or two negative interactions with a driver for them to throw in the towel. The first and easiest thing that would help cycling in Bend would be actual enforcement of the laws with drivers. —wheelie via bendsource.com Thanks to the Source for your March 5 cover article encouraging more bike commuting in Bend. Commute Options is very interested in this perspective. Better bike commuting takes a balance of Engineering, Education, Enforcement and Encouragement. Bike commuting benefits our parking and roadway system and encourages a healthy lifestyle. Commute Options is working with the City of Bend, the Downtown Bend Business Association, Parks and Recreation District,
How do you feel about SB 442, which would allow only medical exemptions to vaccines?
Bend Bikes, Bicycle Resource of Bend, the Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Bend La Pine Schools, OSU-Cascades and others who are very supportive of improving our bicycle infrastructure. We also work in many areas beyond bike lanes that would make Bend more bike friendly, like: • Bike parking • Bike share • Safe Routes to School commuteoptions. org/program/safe-routes-to-school • School siting • Bicycle Diversion classes for adults • DMV and other driver awareness • Incentives for bike commuting http:// www.drivelessconnect.com • Active Transportation awareness campaigns and videos • Bikes on buses • Limited and expensive (car) parking—to encourage more commuting options We also represent Central Oregon on the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Often times the experience is better than the expectation. So give bike commuting a try. More people riding = more funding for infrastructure and safety. Thanks, The Commute Options Team. —Jeff Monson, Kim Curley, Brian Potwin I was intrigued by The Source Weekly’s article, Bike Town USA. Does Bend deserve the accolades? As an avid recreational bicyclist, and as a resident living in close proximity to Riverside Boulevard, my answer is no. I was offended when a bike lane was “installed” on Riverside Boulevard last year. We are being held hostage by a tiny group of grunting bicyclists who have decided we can’t decide for ourselves how we choose our transportation. Riverside was designed for cars, not bikes. This travel way now requires drivers to negotiate sharp curves, with less room, in order to accommodate three bicycle commuters for two months out
of the year. The bike lane has decreased car safety and has done nothing to improve the functional activity of bicycle transportation. All bicycle lane markings two blocks west of Bond, on Franklin, should be removed. The city has created a severe risk to car drivers who exit their vehicles when they must park away from the curb next to the old Post Office. A right turn lane should be available for those who turn on to Wall Street, off Franklin, in this same area. The statistical number of bike commuters is zero. Neither dogs nor bicyclists belong in the downtown area. We would be much better served if our limited resources were earmarked to improve recreational biking opportunities. Thank you, but I don’t need anyone’s advice on how often I ride my bike or how I commute to work. —Charles Thomas

You say “there are also studies that indicate that higher minimum wages actually reduce job opportunities for working class men and women, as fewer employees are hired and sometimes the raises result in reduced hours.” Please cite the source of these studies. Could they possibly be funded by the restaurant owners and grocery lobbies, the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau, and other groups who traditionally oppose paying higher wages to their employees? My independent research over the years since Oregon raised its [minimum wage] and tied it to [cost of living] indicates that jobs in low wage industries (even fast food) have increased (the recent Great Recession being an exception on many levels). Those who propose a higher MW actually cite sources for their arguments. The Source should tell us who funds the studies you cite in your editorial. The low-wage workers who serve us our meals and lattes, work in retail in downtown Bend and at the Old Mill and beyond, all deserve a raise. —Michael Funke via bendsource.com

THE BOOT NEWS
Creating Affordable
During last year’s campaign season, nearly every candidate we interviewed for local offices declared that “affordable housing” is the most pressing issue for Bend, and for the region. With the population in Central Oregon surging, housing prices have been steadily climbing and pricing out more and more levels of income from purchasing homes here. The implications of the debate have several prongs, like whether Bend will become a socio-economically exclusive city, pricing out working class individuals and edging more toward a tourism town like Aspen, which is both outdoor playground and a cultural smorgasbord, but isn’t affordable for the service workers necessary to keep that lifestyle and tourism machinery in motion. But beyond expressing concern for more affordable housing, few of the candidates and few elected officials seem to be presenting viable, robust and complete solutions. We recognize that it is a tricky issue, and one without easy solutions. Unfortunately, though, it seems as if both the City of Bend and Bend Park & Recreation are banking on reducing “System Development Charges” (SDCs) as the most viable means to create more affordable housing. This simply does not make senses to us—at least not as a magic bullet. In a nutshell, SDCs are fees collected by the City from both commercial and residential developers. In turn, that money helps fund the City’s basic infrastructure—streets, sewers, water lines. Residential developers are also tagged for SDCs for parks. For developers, SDCs can be frustrating because they add costs (for example, about $6,000 for a single-family home)—and, one theory says, forces housing prices higher so that developers can recoup these additional expenses. Certainly there is validity in that calculation. For example, one proposal floated last week to Park & Rec was waiving SDCs for multi-family housing dedicated to families at or below 60 percent of the median income. Yes, that idea is an attractive notion for encouraging developers to build more affordable housing in the region—and, could serve as one piece of the puzzle. This is not the simple arithmetic of the construction costs needing to be less than sales price, but is a more complicated matrix of trade-offs and examinations about where thousands of dollars for each house will flow—whether to the developer, the City, Park & Rec, or the homeowner; and in whose pocket does the money best serve the good of the City. Moreover, waiving SDCs means fewer funds for the City to deliver services, and effectively helps shift the balance of power from the public to private sectors. Already the police and fire departments are so woefully underfunded that the fire department was forced last year, cap in hand, to beg voters to approve a five-year property levy simply to raise funds to provide baseline equipment and services. Bend is not the first city to struggle with preserving and creating affordable housing—and it would do well to consider lessons from other municipalities, like San Francisco, which underwent one of the quickest gentrifications in recent history as rent and housing prices tripled and quadrupled in the mid-90s, and have only steadily continued to climb since then. To counterbalance those trends, and to help build affordable housing, the mayor’s office there provides a tax incentive that does not reduce direct revenue to the City, but in fact increases it. By providing low interest rate loans to developers to subsidize specific categories of housing development, the City directly encouraged 10,000 new affordable homes within the city between 1990 and 2008. We are not necessarily suggesting that this is the solution either, but we do urge both City Council and Park & Rec to consider more than simply waiving SDCs as the means toward affordable housing—and, more specifically, to consider solutions that maintain civic funds and continue to center decisions about housing development in the public, not private sector. Eight years ago, we watched what happened when developers were given nearly free reign of housing development in the region, and hope that we have learned from our mistakes.

Parents, lawmakers divided on removing non-medical vaccine exemptions
BY ERIN ROOK
BY ERIN ROOK
As vaccination rates decrease and cases of vaccine-preventable diseases increase, Oregon lawmakers are trying to make it more difficult for parents to opt their children out. But Senate Bill 442, which has been introduced this session and seeks to remove non-medical exemptions to Oregon law requiring school children to be vaccinated, is being met with organized opposition from both lawmakers and parents. On Monday, the Statesman Journal reports, more than 100 people turned up for a “No on Senate Bill 442” rally at the Oregon State Capitol. And Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend), who has been described as organizing the bill’s opposition, says he’s received substantially more emails opposed than in support. “There continues to be strong opposition from parents, especially moms,” Knopp, who supports vaccination generally but is opposed to the bill, told the Source. “Maybe 98 percent of email I get is opposed to eliminating parental rights and informed consent as it relates to childhood vaccines.” The bill even attracted the attention of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—a lawyer, environmental activist and, yes, one of those Kennedys—who flew out to Salem last week to hold a private screening of the anti-vaccine film Trace Amounts and talk to lawmakers. Sponsored by family physician and Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward (D-Beaverton), SB 442 would remove existing allowances for religious or philosophical objections to vaccination. But concerns about a lack of votes in the Legislature has the bill stalled in the Senate Health Committee for now, says Knopp, who is a committee member. If the bill makes its way into law, Oregon would join an exclusive club of states barring non-medical exemptions. Its two current members: Mississippi and West Virginia. Supporters of the bill argue that these two states are proof that limiting exemptions leads to less disease. Both states have lower rates of vaccine-preventable illness than Oregon. Rep. Knute Buehler (R-Bend), and all the doctors currently serving in the legislature, supports the bill. Buehler tells the Source that there is cause for concern about infection rates here in Deschutes County. Over the last decade, he says, the percentage of non-medically exempt kindergarteners doubled, from 4.9 percent to 10 percent. “Unfortunately, the health department has also documented a corresponding rise of vaccine-preventable diseases,” he adds. “Pertussis [whooping cough], a highly contagious and potentially fatal respiratory disease, is one example: in 2001, there was only one reported case in Deschutes County; in 2014, there were 60 cases reported.” Not all parents oppose the bill. A Portland-based parenting blogger named Sara, who requested her last name not be used, says that Oregon’s low vaccination rates are putting the state’s residents at risking of losing “herd immunity,” a term scientists
We recently chatted with Spencer Stander, an executive producer working in reality television, about his interest in casting for a show in Bend. Here’s what we learned. 1. He’s been to Bend before. About seven years ago, he shot a pilot for a show about a brewer that opened up a restaurant, called “Brewmasters.” Unfortunately, he says, “Alcohol wasn’t a thing on TV back then, it was ahead of its time.” 2. Most of his previous work has been with lifestyle networks, like HGTV. Stander says, “I’m always on the lookout for real estate professionals, home builders, construction, multi-generational home building and renovation. That’s my priority.”

use to describe the protective effect of a significant population of vaccinated (for measles, it’s 94 percent). “If you don’t want to vaccinate your kids, that’s fine,” she writes on her blog at itsmomsense.com. “But you should not be allowed to send them to school with my kids because it’s selfish and dangerous.” She started a petition to coalesce support for the bill a little over a week ago that has already garnered more than 1,400 signatures, including individuals from Central Oregon. For those concerned about the potential public health ramifications, the positives outweigh any negatives. But for parents unconvinced of the “medical emergency,” the debate comes down to concerns over the balance (or lack thereof) between individual liberty and public safety. “It’s easy for me to be opposed to that because I believe parents have a constitutional right and duty to be the determining factor in the health of their kids and what kind of healthcare they’re going to have,” Knopp tells the Source, “and as it relates to vaccines what kind of schedule they’ll be on.” He adds, “Most parents writing in are not anti-vaccine but want to be able to determine the schedule…I’ve been very clear that this is not a vaccine issue, it’s a parental rights and an informed consent issue.” Local parent Erin Hansen agrees. She vaccinates her children, though on a different schedule than the one recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. She is strongly opposed to a bill that would eliminate non-medical exemptions. She says she is concerned not only about the principle, that is, parents being allowed to make deci-
sions about their children’s healthcare, but also about the potential repercussions for private schools. Hansen says roughly 40 percent of students at the small, local private school her children attend are counted among the non-vaccinated—a category that includes not only those who have opted out entirely, but also those who have declined a handful of vaccines or are simply behind the established schedule. “As a parent with children who are on a non-traditional vaccine schedule, this means if the bill is passed my children will not be able to attend school next year,” Hansen explains. “For many private and charter schools this could mean an attrition rate of 20-40 percent.” Rep. Buehler says he recognizes this potential outcome, and is working on an amendment that would exclude private schools from the requirements. “I am all for personal freedom until it starts hurting others,” Buehler explains. “Not vaccinating your children puts others at risk, such as infants who are too young or those who cannot be vaccinated because their immune systems are compromised,” he says. “Also, the bill still allows choices for parents: you can enroll your kids in an online school, home school, or find a doctor that will sign a medical exemption. If the amendment passes, one could also enroll in a private school that does not require immunization.” Lawmakers are also considering an amendment that would expand the list of healthcare providers qualified to approve medical exemption.
3. He’s ambitious. Though real estate shows are his sweet spot, he dreams of putting together a reality show in the vein of “Northern Exposure,” “The Office,” or “Parks and Rec,” full of quirky local characters. “My dream is to find that really creative reality show that documents what you guys are up to,” Stander says. “People hear ‘reality’ and they think ‘The Jersey Shore.’ I want to discover something really unique that pushes the boundary of what you can do with reality TV.” 4. Ultimately, he’s not casting for any particular show. This casting call is more like a fact-finding mission. What direction he takes will be influenced by who submits applications. More than 50 have been received so far, and he anticipates about 200 by the time the deadline closes on April 1. 5. He picked our brains a little. Stander was full of questions about what it is we do at the Source, how old our staff is (gotta hit that ideal TV demographic) and hinted that he’d be interested in checking us out if we wanted to submit an application. We declined. Do you want to apply? The app is still up at highconcepttelevision.com. Enter at your own risk.

New trends in brewing are reshaping the industry BY THE SOURCE DRINKING TEAM PHOTOS BY MATTHEW GRIMES
Billy Beer was never very good, and it didn’t last on the market very long, but it may deserve a large share of credit for the contemporary boom of craft beer. Produced briefly in the late 1970s by Billy Carter, the oafish younger brother of then-President Jimmy Carter, the beer leveraged whatever national attention is given to a president’s good-ole-boy, beer-swilling sibling. “I had this beer brewed up just for me,” Billy Carter would tell the camera in TV ads for Billy Beer. “I think it’s the best I ever tasted. And I’ve tasted a lot. I think you’ll like it, too.” At the time, there was barely a craft or micro-brew industry, in a large part because federal law prohibited home-brewing and also held tight regulations for the commercial production and distribution of beer—both laws hold-overs from Prohibition. Then, a year after his brother introduced his (weak sauce) Billy Beer, President Jimmy Carter signed into law a pair of federal regulations—an allowance for home-brewing, and another law to de-regulate the beer industry. Combined, the laws opened up a new frontier, and paved a way for hobby brewers to launch into full-blown, commercial breweries. At the time, in 1979, there were fewer than 100 breweries in America—including, yes, the fledging Billy Beer, brewed by Louisville-based Falls City Brewing Company, which
had been in operation since 1905. Although little more than a historic footnote to an oft-overlooked president, five years after Jimmy Carter allowed home-brewing and de-regulated the beer industry, a couple dozen microbreweries had opened in various cities throughout America, including pioneers like Deschutes Brewery in Bend. It was the beginning of a frenzy—and by 2015, there are nearly 2,500, including more than 20 in Central Oregon alone. In our annual Beer Issue, this year we celebrate those “little” ideas, the ones that begin as a concept and then bubble up and become mainstream trends. The once-fringe idea of “open yeast” brewing is sweeping through the industry, and there are new ideas about distribution, and even the brew-pub, an American institution since Benjamin Franklin, is being radically overhauled. And, this year, we don’t limit our Beer Issue to, well, beer. Two weeks ago, we profiled the booming kombucha industry in Bend and, in this issue, we look at hard cider. With 50 percent growth each year since 2011 and three cideries now open in Bend, it is the fastest growing industry within all beverages. Bottoms up! Continues on page 11

Ale Apothecary brews eccentric elixirs BY ERIN ROOK
Ale Apothecary began as a gamble. After leaving his job at the area’s most established brewery, Paul Arney had to make a choice—either find a way to go it on his own, or sell the house and leave town. “I tied all of my goals to the place. If it succeeded, I would be living a personal dream. If it failed, we could cut our losses and move on,” Arney recalls. “In retrospect, it was a real mid-life crises/‘fuck-it’ moment where I had an opportunity to lay out all of my knowledge, skills, and personal beliefs that I had acquired in life up to that point and put it to the test.” But rather than striving to mimic the corporate consistency of a large-scale operation like Deschutes Brewery, Arney instead looked to the roots of beer making. As a result, he is both upholding an old tradition and on the cutting modern edge of open fermentation—a brewing process in which yeast from the environment comingles with the fermenting brew to create evolving and unpredictable flavors. It’s his willingness to follow the white rabbit of “what if?” down dark corridors that has led to some of Arney’s greatest successes. Ale Apothecary is known for its unique, barrel-aged brews, produced in small batches in his brewery in the woods. “Everything that anyone tastes that comes from this brewery was the result of something going unexpectedly well,” he explains. Still, even when things go “wrong,” they right themselves, he says, adding that he’s never had to dump any product. “Any ‘problem’ has corrected itself with time,” he says, “and generally for the better.” That agility is likely aided by his aptitude for thinking outside the keg, literally and figuratively. Arney counts among his inspiration the following varied sources: “Your mom. Just kidding! My mom. The un-
known ancient brewers. Lambic beers of Belgium. My kids. Marijuana. Crusty bread and stinky cheese. The idea of having a relationship with trillions of non-human life forms. Luddites, in the best possible and historically accurate sense. Hunter Dahlberg of Orion Forge. Joe Sacco, Ferguson, Kurt Vonnegut. My family. Creative spontaneity. David Mitchell. Functional steam punk ethos. Marty Robbins, MC5, Correspondents.” And he has adopted unconventional methods to create his beers, including working with Bob Platt, “a real honest-to-goodness horse logger,” to cut down a 200-yearold spruce tree in which to age his beer. Ale Apothecary’s upcoming release is different for Arney, but less so for the masses. The new brew, with a name like a procrastinator’s mantra, is Carpe Diem Mañana. It’s a younger beer, produced in less than four months, compared to Ale Apothecary’s usual 12 to 14 months. And it’s hop-forward, uncommon for Arney because his beers tend to be older, and hops don’t age well. “I happen to like hops, which oddly is in common with a lot of folks, so I thought that I’d make a beer that could be produced less expensively and still maintain an ‘Apothecary-ness’ about it,” he explains. Despite the hoppiness, Arney says it’s not an IPA. “An IPA stands for ‘India Pale Ale,’ he explains. “It is a historical brew that was brewed in England a long time ago. This beer that I’m brewing has absolutely nothing to do with India or England,” he adds. “I’ve heard other brewers in these parts brew a beer they call IPA? Perhaps it is a homage to Bollywood? Fish and chips? This is why I live in the woods. I get confused very easily.”
Low ceilings, old-fashioned bar stools, and cushioned booths are not common in today’s world of brew pubs more often adorned with hardwood-topped tables, garage doors that open to patios and exposed production facilities--the later which explains why co-owner of Silver Moon Brewing, James Watts, finds himself often answering the question: “Where do you brew ?” But the smell of hops that pleasantly wafts across Greenwood Avenue is unmistakable. And, along the wall just right of a recently remodeled stage are a series of awards and accolades quietly reinforcing the message that Silver Moon Brewing is serious about its beer. “We are not your traditional brewery,” says Watts. “We are funky, eclectic and fun.” After taking over Silver Moon Brewing less than two years ago, Watts and co-owner Matt Barett made a commitment to keep Silver Moon Brewing authentic, which according to Watts means “paying tribute to its long-standing roots as part of the Bend community.” Loyal patrons of Bend’s third-oldest brew pub, like the local crew of National Forest Service workers who have been enjoying Silver Moon’s Monday locals night religiously for years, can count on some of the best local acts, as well as up and coming bands from the national music scene every Friday and Saturday. Watts also emphasizes that people can count on Silver Moon producing quality beer. With Siebel Brewing Academy-trained head brewer Jeff Schauland at the reins, he says, “The brewery’s legacy recipes like Snake Bite Porter and Hop Nob IPA are as strong as ever. And the most popular beer since taking over Silver Moon Brewing is Get Sum Pale Ale,” which was awarded a Gold Medal at the North American Beer Awards last summer. Watts adds, “We work pretty hard to be unique, and come up with innovative ways to express our dedication to the cultural aspect of the craft beer evolution.” He highlights the “Moon Rover,” a portable bar complete with stools, foot rail and working taps. Silver Moon has also launched a weekly event called “Pour it Forward.” Watts explains that this is “typically a Friday afternoon ambush at a place of business, where we surprise the staff with an impromptu tasting in their office.” The beauty of the concept is that the recipient of that day’s event will pick next week’s recipient, often a partner business around town, or one that’s been particularly supportive of their organization.

A Cider a Day
Bend’s local hard cider business is booming BY PHIL BUSSE
Aaron Cousins stands facing two shiny new fermentation tanks, the toes of his boots wrapped several times around with duct tape. He is wearing a black skull cap and dressed in a black sleeveless hoodie that shows off aqua-colored lines of a sprawling tattoo on his right shoulder. “Cider sales in the U.S. have doubled every year since 2011,” he says calmly. “I can’t really tell you why it has taken off so well, but it has taken off in the Northwest because there are so many craft beverage makers and drinkers.” Tucked behind the fermentation tanks is a surfboard with a hand-drawn chainsaw and the words “Oregon Pride” etched on it. Another surfboard rests behind two cooling tanks nearby. Filled with equipment but not cluttered, Red Tank’s production facilities on Bend’s industrial east side is a modest, but busy, operation. It produces 2,000 gallons every other week—which it sell as kegs and, notably, in 16-ounce tall boys. About a decade ago, Cousins started working in the wine industry in Oregon, but soon shifted over to working for a cider company. “I wanted to be a pioneer in an industry,” he explains, “and was 30 years too late in the wine industry.” Now, though, he is positioned perfectly; sales of hard cider are growing faster than any other segment of the beverage industry. Over the past three years, the industry has boomed. Nationwide, after an impressive 60 percent growth in 2012 and an even more startling 100 percent growth the following year, sales in 2014 crested $1 billion. From fewer than 10 cideries in the Pacific Northwest in 2010, there are now 70 registered in Oregon and Washington. As another telling sign, at the most recent CiderCon, an annual conference for cider makers, the event had to move to a larger fa-

cility to accommodate all the new interest: In 2011, there had been some 100 attendees; at the most recent meeting on a frigid February weekend in Chicago, that number went past 500. But perhaps the most startling indicator of the growing popularity of hard cider is that Angry Orchid, which was purchased by Boston Beer Company in 2013, earned a reported $400 million in 2012, an amount that rivals revenues from that company’s flagship beer, Sam Adams. Alone, Boston Beer Company is spending $1 million annually on advertising for hard cider. “I feel fortunate to see [the hard cider industry] go from nothing to all-out full throttle,” says Cousins. Over the summer, Red Tank plans to triple its capacity and production. Not far from Red Tank’s facility on Bend’s east side is Atlas Cider’s production facility. The third-largest hard cider company in Oregon, they were also the first in Bend. “Let’s introduce cider to Bend,” says co-owner Dan McCoy, recalling the original motivation to open up Atlas, pointing out that five years ago, there was, at most, only one hard cider on tap at local breweries. Now it is difficult to not find at least one cider offering at each brewpub and restaurant in town. Atlas has helped lead this boom in popularity, introducing basic ciders to Bend drinkers and also crafting robust flavors that can convince even the most hardy beer or whiskey drinker that cider is no sissy drink. A week ago, Portland’s popular weekly newspaper Willamette Week ran a cover story about the booming hard cider industry, and noted Atlas’ Apricot as one of the five best new ciders in Oregon, describing it as, “the comforting aroma of a morning hug from grandma, and the bite of the cocktail grandpa would sneak you sips of as he drank it with breakfast.” But unlike the craft beer industry, which
took more than a decade to grow past its first few breweries, the time between the pioneers like McCoy and the next wave has been greatly compressed—with three cider companies already open in Bend, and murmurings of two more opening in Bend in the near future. Moreover, later this spring, Atlas will open a 1,500-square-foot tasting room along SW Industrial, smack dab between downtown and the Old Mill District. At first, explains McCoy, Atlas offered a simple tasting room at its eastside facility, and it was only open on weekend evenings. But meeting demand, it slowly expanded those hours over the past two years, and are now open to the public every day.
Starting this spring, that tasting room will greatly expand, and be more accessible to the general public. McCoy talks about a space with sofas and pinball machines, and points out that they also will make space on their taps for Central Oregon’s beer drinkers. “It is the same adventurous craft drinker,” he says. “We’re also going to have a lot of beer in there, as a way to say ‘thank you’ to the breweries who have supported us.” Atlas Hard Cider Company 900 SE Wilson Ave., Suite H, Bend 2 pm-6 pm Monday-Thursday, Noon-6 pm Friday-Saturday, Noon-5 pm Sunday

A Good Problem To Have Sunriver Brewing is bursting at the seams BY PHIL BUSSE
Sunriver Brewing’ biggest problem is one that every business would like: They are growing faster than they expected. Ryan Duley, the marketing director for Sunriver Brewing, walks between rows of 15keg capacity containers—eight on each side of the cavernous, cement-floor warehouse on the outskirts of Sunriver—and explains that a year ago the brewing company, which had once simply supplied a brew-pub in the resort village, made the big leap so that it could begin statewide distribution. They were smart enough, he points out, to plan for continued growth. But even with that foresight, they are gobbling up space in the 12,000 square foot facility almost faster than they keep up with. Even a space set aside for a sofa-lined tasting room is now being sacrificed so they can move in more containers—and they are talking about raising the roof so that they can move in even larger tanks. “We’re just trying to keep up with demand,” he says calmly. With its simple, but bold branding— the outline of a curving river paired with a simple icon like a mosquito or a standup paddle boarder—Sunriver Brewing first opened as a restaurant on July 4, 2012. At first, it was just a small 3.5 barrel on-location tank, but they quickly realized that demand was bigger than they expected. With all of Central Oregon’s other breweries clustered around Bend at the time, Sunriver Brewing was a novelty—and for the thousands who visit the high desert community, it was a luxury to have onsite, on-tap craft beers. Duley points out that the brew-pub in Sunriver was—and still is—the ideal setup for introducing its beers to new customers, with thousands of customers visiting the resort each winter and summer. Moreover, the brand of Sunriver—as a winter and summer getaway—is a charming association for when people return home. That double hook for marketing has served as the perfect setup for its statewide launch. Late last summer, it began distributing in the Eugene and Corvallis areas, and this January, it started distributing in Portland. “Pretty much every goal we’ve projected,” says owner Brian Cameron, “we’ve blown out of the water.” And, as a mark that the craft brewery universe is geographically expanding in Central Oregon, this summer, Visit Bend will add Sunriver Brewery to its Ale Trail.

Two Guys and a Bottling Company
Ask Levi & Strauss: It wasn’t necessarily the gold seekers who struck it rich, but the entrepreneurs providing ancillary services, like blue jeans, who made the really steady income. Of course, for the current craft-beer rush that analogy is a bit off, as breweries are making good money, but last September, longtime friends Jason Rickley and Justin Renoud started the first mobile bottling company in Central Oregon. When Rickley and Renoud stopped by the Source, they were returning from an afternoon at Sunriver Brewing Company, where they had bottled some 14 barrels worth of beer; currently, with their aptly-named Mobile Bottling Solutions, Rickley and Renoud bottle exclusively in 22-ounce bottles, but are considering to move into canning as well. Their services allow smaller and growing breweries to externalize some of their manufacturing costs. The equipment fits in the back of a pickup truck, and includes pressure sealed labeling. The business is only six months old, but already they are bottling for some of the more recognizable names in the region—Silver Moon, Atlas and Sunriver. “It helps smaller businesses get a foot in the door,” says Rickley.

How did Anne end up at SELCO? Moving Bend’s Beer Scene Past Bend Wild Ride Brewery is booming—in Redmond, and beyond BY DELANO LAVIGNE
In late 2011, three lifelong friends and Redmond locals talked about starting a brewery. Nothing more than craft beer fans at the time, says co-owner Brian Mitchell, “There was a strong appeal to be a part of what seemed to be a fun and exciting industry.” It was a simple and earnest desire and, quickly, what started as a general conversation on the subject of breweries transformed into a serious intent to start one. The friends were soon joined by Paul Bergeman, a well-seasoned and well-traveled brewer, and in May 2014, Wild Ride Brewing opened its doors (well, officially, rolled-up its garage doors) for the first major brew-pub in Redmond. Located off Fifth Street, a stone’s throw from downtown Redmond, the brewery and brewpub is a major addition to the burgeoning Redmond economy. What had been a former lumber storage warehouse—“little more than four walls and a ceiling,” says Mitchell—is now a bustling hot spot. The brewing vats are visible from the brewpub’s floor, and a cluster of food carts gather outside each evening. (“We have three to four food trucks here every day,” explains Mitchell, “and if you want to order a pizza from somewhere in town, that is fine with us.”) Rebuilt from the ground up, Wild Ride is sparsely clean, and naturally lit. It is often crowded, but in an easygoing, still-can-find-a-spot friendly sort of way. During the 10 months Wild Ride has been open, already it has brewed 23 beers, collaborated with numerous other breweries and will be presenting another collaboration brew during a Central Oregon Brewers Guild event in April. “It is going to be a rye-red called Redmond Rising,” says Mitchell. “There is a core of 12 beers on tap at all times,” says Mitchell. “Beyond those, there are a number of seasonal and one-off beers on tap on a consistent basis and typically there are at least 15 beers on tap at all times.” Already, Wild Ride has begun distributing beers throughout the Northwest (well, it starts selling in Washington this month); primarily, its top-selling Hopperhead, a tasty and full, well-balanced IPA. As well, its Whoopty Whoop Wheat and Mount Up Maple Brown are also available at many grocery stores around Central Oregon—marking an important inroad for regional breweries.
She called for a car loan and found a low rate on insurance, too. With one quick call, Anne was preapproved for an auto loan. Her loan came with low payments thanks to a great rate and longer term. SELCO was even able to save her money on auto insurance, and protect her new wheels with an extended warranty.

Small, But Mighty
Oblivion is the definition of grassroots operation BY ALLISON MILES
In 2013, Darin and Meg Butschy literally built Oblivion Brewing Company from the ground up (or at least from the floor up). A Bend resident for 19 years and a brewer for 25 years, Darin got his start at Firestone Walker while studying chemistry at Cal Poly. With growing experience and unrelenting passion, he kicked off Oblivion in August 2013 with its flagship beers: Polar Star Pale Ale and Backside IPA (named for the locals’ favorite play area at Mt. Bachelor). With its success over the past two years, Oblivion has settled into that space between active home-brewer and fullscale commercial enterprise and, more pointedly, proves that a beer company doesn’t need to be giant to be successful. It is a small operation—a 10-barrel system with which
Oblivion brews 4-5 times per month—and they self-distribute (literally, with a red Subaru, Darin’s truck and Meg’s car) in Sunriver, Bend, Redmond, and Portland. Although they plan to keep operations fairly small-scale, they have been growing rapidly and are already in the midst of an expansion, including working to open a pub of their own. In the past year and a half, Oblivion has expanded its offerings to include seasonals such as Snowblivion, a dark, deep and spicy red ale, and Golden Aurora, a light golden ale that’s perfect for bright summer days. Its fall seasonal, Rode Ryder Red, a dry-hopped IRA dubbed “The Sweet Red” for its tropical notes, has become so popular that it’s been added to the regular year-round rotation. In addition, Oblivion’s Knockout Stout features f14 different barley malts for a
silky and smooth ale with plenty of rich coffee and chocolate notes. This spring, look for a pilsner specialty brew to join the lineup, as well as the release of this year’s Golden Aurora right in time for longer days of sunshine. Oblivion will also be pouring Knockout Stout at Cabin 22’s St. Patty’s Day event and at the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Redmond on the weekend of March 13-15.

Perhaps best known for his 2008 country music hit, “Just Got Started Lovin’ You,” Otto returns to the storytelling saddle after a self-imposed hiatus with the easy-going, “Somewhere Tonight.” In tune with his latest hit, forget your worries, bust out your cowboy boots and prepare for an evening of boot-scootin’. Cheyenne West opens. 8 pm, Friday, March 13. Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave. $16/adv. MOSLEY WOTTA (LEFT) AND COLLOTHEN’S MARKETS FLOODED TOUR IS STEEPED IN HIP-HOP’S RICH HISTORY. PHOTO BY MATTHEW GRIMES.
In many ways, Markets Flooded is 10 years in the making. Local musicians MOsley WOtta (Jason Graham) and Collothen (Colten Tyler Williams) first met a little more than a decade ago, when Collothen was captivated by some of MOWO’s paintings hanging in the COCC library. The two became fast friends—and eventually housemates—and began collaborating musically. “We saw potential but hadn’t honed our craft to where we could articulate what we needed,” MOWO explains. “So then we sort of worked our projects separate for the next 10-ish years.” For Collothen, that was primarily the underground hardcore punk band Vihara and for MOWO, hip-hop group Person People. But even as they worked on separate projects, the friends did the odd performance together here and there, including opening for both Vihara shows and poetry slams. “This is not just the 2.0 version of 10 years ago,” MOWO clarifies. “The desire to push ourselves is very much alive, finding ways to not alienate our fan bases. Push those limits a little bit. But we’re not caught up in being the Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea of hip-hop.” And yet, MOsley WOtta and Collothen’s approach to hip-hop is far from mainstream. Though preparing a few radio-friendly tracks, they are not bound by convention or illusions of fame. Rather,
they are drawn from their seemingly disparate backgrounds in ambient electronic music and spoken word to what they see as the true meaning and origin of hip-hop. “It wasn’t knowing all the lyrics or mythology to Wu Tang that brought us together,” MOWO says. “It’s [a question of] what’s the container; what can we do outside the container?” The duo finds inspiration in everything from Albanian clarinet melodies to chirping songbirds, and musicians including Tricky, Saul Williams, and Death Grips. “It’s called Markets Flooded because there is no way that the container can continue to hold the arts the way that it used to. The more arts that we have the better, because it means more message out there,” MOWO says. “In a sense, we’re just another drop in the bucket, making music to raise that water mark to keep water spilling over the sides.” They hope to increase the number of drops in the bucket by taking the Flooded Markets tour to schools across the United States. MOWO says they want to inspire youth to use music and writing to channel their emotions—both positive and negative. “The whole anti-bullying thing freaks me out. Because people are mean sometimes. You can’t cut it out, you gotta make space for it,” MOWO explains. “Finding a way to incorporate all the ugly, violent, confused— the whole emotional spectrum. That’s how
we’re going to move forward.” On a personal level, Collothen acknowledges that creating art from pain is not only therapeutic, but often results in some of his best work. “The hardest time sometimes can make the best art,” he says. “I feel like channeling anything that’s going on into your art, you just can’t go wrong with that. It’s healthy.” MOWO agrees, adding, “Once you process, once you go through the bullshit, the fertilizer, then you get the fruit.” In this case, the fruits are a robust repertoire of hip-hop songs and spoken word tracks that the duo plans to release gradually, starting with “Crack in the Bell,” produced by Redmond-based Musitechs Studio and mixed by Brian “Big Bass” Gardner, who has been nominated for seven Grammys and has worked with a plethora of big name artists, from 2Pac and Snoop Dogg to Elton John and Stevie Wonder. MOWO and Collothen are currently running an Indiegogo fundraising campaign— through March 21—to help extend the tour’s geographic reach. They plan to perform a show March 20 at Tin Pan Theater and anticipate a number of other secret pop-up shows locally this spring to promote the tour. Check out their tracks as they are released at mosleywotta.bandcamp.com and email cascadiabooking@gmail.com to book the duo before they get to jet setting.
Goodbye Songs BY JOSH GROSS
This is the last winter issue of the Source. Next week, it will officially be spring. And what better theme for a mixtape than saying “goodbye”? Not much. That’s why we put together a playlist of songs from a diverse collection of artists meditating on exactly how sweet of a sorrow parting actually is. There’s jazz’s angry man, Charles Mingus, wishing his pork-pie hat adieu, Portland folkster Langhorne Slim breaking hearts with “I Love You but Goodbye,” and two versions of Scandal’s ‘80s classic, “Goodbye to You.” And more. Hello, goodbye. SCAN THE QR CODE
Bazooka Zoo and Beach Party With a name like Bazooka Zoo, it’s easy to imagine the band blowing bubblegum bubbles the sizes of their heads while rocking out in animal costumes. Sadly, not quite the case, but Nevada’s Bazooka Zoo does act as a rock-and-roll music collective, working with a variety of musicians and collaborators to create psychedelic, spacey jams. Bazooka Zoo takes influence from Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, Minus the Bear and many more, which becomes apparent upon listening to its original, multidimensional songs. Portland’s Beach Party joins Bazooka Zoo with its psychedelic, surf and punk rock signature blend. 9 pm. Friday, March 13. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr. $5.

SOUND
Taking Center Stage
At 75 years old, Ural Thomas and The Pain is Portland’s best new band! BY PHIL BUSSE
URAL THOMAS AND THE PAIN, OLD SCHOOL SOUL MADE NEW AGAIN; OLD ST FRANCIS, 3/18.
Ural Thomas has always been there. Since starting to sing and play music at age three, he has been in the vicinity of soul music history. The “middle” of 14 children (and named for the Ural Mountains in Russia), Thomas grew up in North Portland, in what had primarily been an African-American neighborhood until recent years. As a teenager in the ’50s and ’60s, Thomas was part of a doo-wop group, the Mono Rays, that played around Portland and Seattle, and then, like the Forest Gump of R&B, Thomas popped up seemingly at every moment of popular contemporary soul music history—but in the back, not the foreground. He says he opened for one of the Rolling Stones’ first American shows, and that he played with Otis Redding in one of that singer’s final shows, and has shared the stage with Stevie Wonder and James Brown, and played at the famed Apollo Theater a reported 44 times. Under his own name, he recorded for Uni Records, which also helped launch Neil Diamond. Sitting in his home in North Portland, a low-slung house with the curtains pulled on a sunny afternoon, Thomas also claims to have brought the song “Louie, Louie” to two other Portland bands—Paul Revere and The Raiders, and the Kingsmen—both which he sang backup for, and both which
went on to Billboard fame with their recordings. Yet, in spite of his proximity to musical fame and greatness, until two years ago, at age 73, Thomas was never really in the spotlight. Like last year’s Academy Award winning documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, which showcased the backup singers for the Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson, and like Charles Bradley, who languished near homelessness and obscurity for decades before emerging three years ago at SXSW as one of the most powerful soul singers of the past few decades, Thomas was never fully recognized for his talent. Like Otis Redding, Thomas’ singing voice is infectious and truly remarkable; at turns soothing and sincere, and then, suddenly, belting a high, yearning note. In 2013, a drummer and local deejay in Portland, Scott Magee, discovered that the singer was living just a few blocks from Mississippi Studios, a former church that now serves as one of the city’s most prized music venues. On Sundays, Thomas often hosted jam sessions. At the time, Magee was looking to start up a cover band to play some of the old blues and soul songs he regularly played at his deejay shows. When Magee showed up at one of Thomas’ jam session, he was asked to join in.
That audition (who was auditioning for whom?) quickly led to a few debut shows. To back up the singer, Magee organized a six-piece band, including a three-part horn section and keyboards that soar like a church organ. The band takes its name from one of Thomas’ earlier recordings, “Pain Is The Name of Your Game.” In late 2013, Ural Thomas & The Pain played a few shows around Portland. Far from nostalgic showcases, those first few shows were barnburners—and Thomas’ demand, and his regional fame, has only intensified since. Last summer, the band played at Pickathon and the Waterfront Blues Festival, two of the biggest outdoor shows of the season, and in a readers’ poll by Willamette Week, was named, somewhat ironically, the Best “New” Band in Portland. And, on Wednesday, Ural Thomas and The Pain will play for the first time in Central Oregon. Ural Thomas & The Pain 7 pm, Wednesday, March 18 McMenamins Old St. Francis, 700 NW Bond. Free.

Portland’s Rivers: Contemporary Art Views
Rivers are to Portland as flowers are to springtime. The Willamette and the Columbia Rivers have shaped the city of Portland into the mighty city that she is today, not only providing beauty but also the accessibility for commerce—and a heck of a lot of bridges. These waterways are commemorated in artistic renderings of paintings, prints and multimedia art, currently on display and for sale at the Pittock Mansion with half of the proceeds benefitting the Pittock Mansion. The Pittock family, instrumental players in the development of the Oregonian and the Rose Parade, had the mansion built in the early 1900s and the city acquired this piece of history in 1964. Pittock Mansion. $7-$10.

“Meet the new dam; same as the old dam” Speak up against the proposal for the new dam at Mirror Pond. March 18 / 7 P.M. / Bend City Hall
Come a few minutes early to sign up for 3 minutes of Public Comment at 7. Stay to witness the City Council vote on whether to green light the new Mirror Pond proposal.
Let’s not sell off public open space and riverside parkland to pay for it. Let’s oppose the payment of tens of millions of dollars in public revenue to build it. This new version of Mirror Pond is an environmental and budgetary nightmare. Its waters will be too warm and deoxygenated to support native fauna. It will require expensive periodic dredging. It will disrupt ongoing efforts to restore and reintegrate the upper Deschutes River watershed. The people of Bend deserve a healthy river. We need to follow the example of Boise, Idaho, whose people treasure and enjoy their free-flowing Boise River parklands, trails, whitewater features, and habitat--at a cost of less than $18,000 per year. Finally, we deserve a public referendum. Our elected representatives continue to support Mirror Pond vote suppression, so our alternative is to do it ourselves.
Please go to freetheriver.org, print, sign, and mail the two single signature petitions--one for the City and one for the Park District. We have 12 months remaining to qualify these ballot measures for the May 2016 election.
With your signatures, we can do it. FreeTheRiver.org PO Box 1790 | Bend, OR 97709 | 541-280-0802

She’s the quintessential matriarch... the wisest old owl... the strongest of guardians... And with about four and a half billion years of relevant experience under her belt, I’d say she’s worth our attention. Mother Nature—the ultimate teacher. We’d be foolish not to acknowledge (and apply) her lessons. In fact, it’s probably one of the most beneficial things we can do as parents. And here’s why... Survival: Mother Nature teaches us to adapt and survive. And our kiddos? Well, according to David Sloan Wilson, an esteemed professor of biology and anthropology, they’re biologically prepared to learn. “The drives and proclivities that characterize children everywhere are well-designed by natural selection,” Wilson says, “to help children survive during childhood and prepare for adulthood.” Patience: If anyone knows a thing or two about patience, it’s Mother Nature. Yes, it’s true—to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Learning to respect this concept is
an invaluable lesson. Respect: Take care of the Earth and it will take care of you. Appreciate its beauty, and protect each piece of its magnificence. Selflessness: If you’ve never read The Giving Tree, now would be a good time. Independence: Freedom in nature has quite the tendency to inspire creative growth, self-discovery and un-coerced thought. Curiosity: Children learn best through their senses, and what better place to explore and discover sight, sound, smell, taste and touch than in the motherland itself? Health: There’s something so powerful about natural healing—not only in its physical form of herbs and other natural remedies, but also in the way it restores emotional wellbeing. Mother Nature provides a constant center of balance—one that can be easily restored by watching a colorful sunset or sitting under a vast sky of stars. She teaches us humility, reminding us how small we really are in this big, beautiful world. Simplicity: Simple needs, simple concepts, simple lessons—exposing children to these teachings is like allowing them to appreciate the simple beauty of an unfiltered, unedited photograph. And going back to the basics allows them to better understand this incredible circle of life. “Let children walk with nature,” John Muir said. “Let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.”

Fries à la Carte pushes the frontier on French fries BY ALLISON MILES
Imagine a delicious Thai curry dish, made with spicy green coconut milk curry, drizzled with savory hoisin sauce and sprinkled with green onions, crunchy sesame seeds and fresh Thai basil bursting with flavor. Sound delicious? Now, take away the rice and dump this concoction onto a pile of just-crispy-enough, lightly salted sweet potato fries. Jaw dropped? Mind blown? That’s just one dish that Fries à la Carte, the newest addition to The Lot, has to offer. Not new to Bend’s food cart lineup, Fries à la Carte has been making cameo appearances at local festivals and events for the past two years. However, starting in late February, it found a permanent spot parked at The Lot. Owner and native Oregonian Brandon Chambers has loved cooking since he was a kid. After establishing his roots at Parrilla and Jackson’s Corner, he built his own cart and operates it himself, installing upgrades and repairs as needed. Inspired by the independence of the food cart business model and the freedom to do things on his own terms, Chambers set out to offer fries with a different approach. Other than simply pairing fries with dipping sauces and poutines, Chambers wanted to push fry frontiers. Using the best quality potatoes, organic ingredients and spices, his menu includes staples like Gorgonzola Bacon Fries, Carne Asada Fries, Sweet Potato Curry Fries, as well as Caesar Salad, Bacon Bleu Salad, and Spiced Fries. The Gorgonzola Bacon Fries are made with shoestring fries, gorgonzola aioli, chopped bacon, green onions, cajun seasoning, and fresh gorgonzola crumbled throughout (note: Chambers recommends, and I confirm, dumping a generous amount of Frank’s Red Hot sauce on this dish). For fans of southwest flavors, the Carne Asada Fries are made with shoestring fries and drizzled with cilantro salsa verde

and crema, topped with steak, cotija cheese, sliced radishes, and chopped green onions. Portions are large enough to share, but not colossal. (Although, full disclaimer: this writer nearly finished three plates of fries.) Fries à la Carte also recognizes that classic French fries also can be good enough in their simplest form, and offers its fries with just salt or with one of its spice blends: ranch, Peruvian chile-lime, Vietnamese lemon curry, parmesan garlic, powdered honey, truffle oil/rosemary, or ghost pepper chocolate. These spice blends are available for both the
shoestring fries or sweet potato fries. As well, there are two salad options, offering a less guilty—and delicious—alternative to the tasty fries, or at least some sort of balance.

Crow’s Feet Launches Monthly Beer Tastings
The shop by the river goes stout-mad on St. Patrick’s Day BY KEVIN GIFFORD
FOR OVER 25 YEARS SUNTRACK SOUND HAS BEEN CENTRAL OREGONS LEADER IN CONCERT PRODUCTIONS. THIS YEAR WE ARE EXCITED TO EXPAND OUR SERVICES TO INCLUDE:
-FULL VIDEO PRODUCTION SUPPORT -CORPORATE SET DESIGN -SPECIALTY LIGHTING -A/V RENTALS Like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/suntrackbend Suntrack Sound LLC. | 541.241.1118 | www.suntrack.com | info@suntrack.com CROW’S FEET COMMONS KICKS OFF MONTHLY TASTINGS WITH FIVE RARE STOUTS; 3/17. PHOTO BY KEVIN GIFFORD
For more than two years, Crow’s Feet Commons has been a go-to spot for skis, snowboards, bicycles, coffee, beer, breakfast sandwiches, and anything else one would possibly need living in Bend, save maybe for toilet paper and cold medicine. The bottle and tap collection has been particularly stellar from the get-go, offering everything from enormous cheap cans of Old German to complex, high-gravity craft from places like Evil Twin and The Bruery. Bar manager Jared Smith is the man to thank for that, and beginning next week, he’s debuting a new monthly tasting series that merits attention. On March 17 (St. Patrick’s, of course), Crow’s Feet will break out bottles of five rare stouts, $3 per 4-ounce tasting or $12 for a full flight. For fans of heavy dark beers, the event’s a must, featuring offerings like Harviestoun Brewery’s Ola Dubh 18 (a Scottish stout aged in 18-year-old Highland Park Whiskey barrels) and Danish brewer Herslev Bryghus’ Black Force One Bourbon Barrel Edition, a smoked imperial stout they only released 375 bottles of. (Maybe “rareness” isn’t something you can taste, but hey, it makes you feel special, right?) Smith and the Crow’s Feet crew will follow up this debut event with a food pairing with Spork on April 22 to coincide with the debut of Pfriem Family Brewers’ bottle line, as well as a tie-in with The Commons Brewery and Portland-based mobile raw bar Oyster Social on May 16. If you’re looking for exotic beer riverside, you know what to do.

ART WATCH BY KELSEY ROOK
Telling classic stories that are very much alive BY KELSEY ROOK
FRIDA, WENDY WASSERSTEIN AND WHITMAN IN DEAD, BUT NOT GONE AUTHORS. TIN PAN THEATER. 3/12
Here’s one you haven’t heard before: Gertrude Stein, Oscar Wilde, and Nora Ephron walk into the Tin Pan Alley. No, it’s not the prelude to a raunchy literary joke, but the setting of the upcoming Dearly Departed: A Tribute to the Authors of Yesteryear. OSU-Cascades’ Low Residency MFA Program is sponsoring the event, held at Tin Pan Theater March 12, which seeks to challenge students and other literary types to embody the spirit of a beloved (dead) author for a night of raucous costumed readings. And, good news, they’re taking participant submissions up to the day of the event. Here’s your guide to embodying the spirit and the work of your favorite deceased writer. 1. Pick an author. Have you ever read a book? Good! Recall one that stuck with you, perhaps something you studied in school from the cannon of so-called “classics.” You’re coming late to the game, so be forewarned that Gertrude Stein, Dorothy Parker, Damon Runyon, Oscar Wilde, Daphne De Mornay, and Nora Ephron have already been selected, probably by a graduate student who has prepared for weeks and will put your tawdry Oscar Wilde impression to shame. Peruse your bookshelves for the names that inspire you, or better yet—hit up your neighborhood bookstore. According to Low Residency MFA Director Dr. Emily Carr, “One of the foundational tenets of our curriculum—and any arts education, really—is establishing historical precedents for our work.” Carr’s colleague, core faculty member TC Tolbert, teaches his students to search for influence in their own literary lineage and family. “Figuring out the writer who you are and hope to become involves looking at the writers you love—and some you didn’t even know you love—and the writers they love—and maybe some they didn’t know they loved—and so forth,” said Tolbert. 2. Embody your dearly departed author in costume and spirit. This is no simple literary “reading.” Participants will be expected to go all out in channeling their chosen author. Does your author have a trademark look? Hunter S. Thompson was rarely photographed without a cigarette in one hand and a whisky tumbler in the other. Truman Capote was a welldressed man whose look favored a sharp bow tie or a cardigan flamboyantly draped over his shoulders. Virginia Woolf had a fondness for furs. The Bronte sisters wore Victorian gowns with puffed sleeves and lacy shawls. A good hard scavenge of area thrift stores and Grandma’s attic may be in order to find
the appropriate period attire. Your literary incarnation does not begin and end with capturing your artist’s look, however. “Embodying the spirit of the dead author starts with the costume and goes so much further: mannerisms, tone of voice, performance style, accent, gestures, and so forth,” said Carr. Whether you channel Capote’s lisp and languid physicality or Emily Dickinson and JD Salinger’s asocial hermitage, a little research goes a long way. OSU Cascades MFA Program Assistant Rachel Ratner will be reading as beloved essayist and screenwriter Nora Ephron. “To get into character I’ve been re-reading pieces from The Most of Nora Ephron,” said Ratner. “And of course, I’ve got When Harry Met Sally on in the background while I’m doing dishes.” And what about Ephron’s characteristic New Yorker accent? “Luckily, I’m a New Yorker, so getting the accent and affect is second nature,” said Ratner. Here’s where you might want to brush up on the biography of your famous writer. Where were they living at the time and what forces shaped their style and personal aesthetic? Langston Hughes and Zora Neal Hurston’s works were influenced by the Jazz Age and Harlem Renaissance, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath were two creative women deeply affected by depression. “Performance is, in fact, an important way in engaging with literature,” said Carr. “It’s like the attic window cracked open for exploration: an opportunity to enter the text in a new way, to try to access the mysterious intent behind the words the author inscribed on the blank page.” 3. Select a three-to-five minute excerpt from the author’s work and bring your reading to Tin Pan Theater on March 12. Maybe it’s a selection from your author’s most famous and oft-quoted work. Or the passage that grabbed you during your first, second and third reading of the author. It could just be a hilarious, insightful, or melancholy piece that you feel embodies the life of its creator. Have fun with it; the event offers participants the freedom to be (almost) whoever they want to be, and to read from someone else’s work. “Just like writing is a skill, performing written work is also a skill, and this event challenges [us] to perform major literary works,” Carr said, “while also having a blast playing dress-up and trying on new accents and voices.” Interested participants should contact rachel.ratner @osucascades.edu with the name of their author.
Every artist has a process. For many, an intentional studio space, the right supplies, and a spark of creativity are all that’s needed to embark on a new project. For artist Barbara Hudin, whose “Beautiful Math” exhibit runs through March 29 at A6 (389 SW Scalehouse, Suite 120), her creative process is a journey through mathematic theorems, computer programming, algorithms, photo-sensitive polymer plates, and multi-process printmaking. Hudin’s showcased work—referred to as “generative art” because she uses computer algorithms to generate visual images—combines the natural world with the technical language of code. The effect is ethereal, dimensional, multi-layered imagery that represents Hudin’s mathematical and artistic prowess. The daughter of a mural and advertising painter in San Francisco, Hudin was set on a path early in life—though, surprisingly, not an artistic one. “I always wanted to be an artist; my father was an artist,” said Hudin. “From him, I realized I needed to have a different career.” She had an aptitude for math, which led her to a mathematics major and successful career in computer programming. After her early retirement in the 1990s, Hudin embarked on becoming a fulltime artist, attending Pacific Northwest College of Art with a focus in printmaking. “Even though I’m a printmaker, I still think of myself as a painter who experiments in prints,” said Hudin. A longtime member of the A6 Print Studio, Hudin’s printmaking took a fascinating turn in 2011 when she discovered Processing code online and “started playing with it.” The creation of MIT students Casy Reas and Ben Fry, Processing is an open-source computer language that creates a platform for graphics and interaction, allowing its users to generate sound, video, and images. Hudin calls Processing “an intriguing way to incorporate math into my art.” “Perhaps [the show] should have been called ‘Beautiful Computer Code,’” admitted Hudin. While Processing code was the launching point for Hudin’s “Beautiful Math”—all of the images were created in part or whole using algorithms, or instructions, written in the code—her works reference an array of mathematical theorems and muses, from Pi to Fibonacci to Mandelbrot’s fractals and M.C. Escher. Her “Binary Tree” features a stark, bare-limbed tree created in code; its splaying branches reach for a round, full moon created with Hudin’s own hand. Thus the artist reveals her intuitive understanding of the harmony between the natural and technological, between the fractal geometry of the tree and the spherical, classic geometry of the moon, and between the computer-generated and the hand-made. At the end of the day, however, said Hudin, “I’m interested in creating a pretty picture.” “I’m a person who essentially sat alone and focused on one thing in life—first my career, and then making art,” said Hudin. “I’m doing this for me.”

The Language Archive catalogues love languages BY JARED RASIC
THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE—HERE AND GONE. CTC, THURS-SUN. PHOTOS BY CASCADES THEATRE
Julia Cho’s The Language Archive is a play of ideas. While the characters are all well drawn, it is the ideas and themes that Cho really seems interested in exploring and, throughout the play, the audience is led between them gracefully. George (Stuart Hicks) is an academic who works for an archive dedicated to the preservation of dead and dying languages. His wife, Mary (Skye Stafford), is deeply unhappy, bursting into tears at the drop of a hat, filling her hours with housework and leaving scraps of paper with her most abstract thoughts scattered around for him to find. The irony here is that George is unable to speak to Mary about her depression. He is a man familiar with dozens of languages, most of them dead, but he cannot find the words to tell her how much he cares. The show also deals with George and his assistant, Emma (Megan Boehmer), bringing a married couple, Alta (Susanna Harrison) and Resten (Ed Mierjeski), to the archive. They are the last speakers of Elloway, an Eastern European language mostly dead since 1954. Alta and Resten are in the middle of a massive fight from the minute they arrive at the archive and will only speak in English, which they describe as the language of hate, much more suited to their fighting than the beautiful Elloway. While communication is an important theme of the play, the idea that all lovers have their own language which becomes dead when they part is a powerful one. That’s billions of dead languages over the centuries only shared by two (or more for you poly folk) people in love, whether for life or for even a few weeks or months. When a relationship starts slipping away and the distance between lovers becomes greater, the thought of whether there are any combinations of words to make everything okay again looms large and The Language Archive confronts that question with a fairly definitive answer. The performances in CTC’s staging of The Language Archive vary in quality, with Skye Stafford and Susanna Harrison notably seizing their roles with a gorgeous immediacy. In particular, Harrison takes Alta, which as written could be an almost one-note stereotype, and finds moments of subtlety and nuance to layer throughout. Any time Alta is angry, there is sadness; any time she is joyous, she is haunted, and Harrison plays Alta’s tones with skill and grace. The true star of The Language Archive, however, is director Tori Miller. The set is brilliantly designed, with every inch being used for multiple purposes, like a library becoming a hospital room in a matter of moments. The humor derived from the Alta and Resten scenes is very broad—barely a step away from a winkwink-nudgenudge to the audience. Yet it never threatens to tonally shift the play out of the thematic work Cho has laid. Miller always places emotion first, making Cho’s sometimes writerly dialogue more palatable. The Language Archive is a cerebral piece, haunting in moments and hilarious in others. The piece’s true motive is a brilliant one: to tell everyone, no matter the language being spoken, that they are heard, then understood and then, finally, loved.

We can thank Central Oregon’s tumultuous volcanic history for most of the things we all love most about living here: the outdoor recreation, the beauty, and probably even the beer if you want to talk hydrology (but you probably don’t, so...). One more gift bestowed upon us by virtue of tectonic mayhem? Rocks! Central Oregon is renowned by rock hounds worldwide for the volume and diversity of stones found here. Because of this, I can only tell you about these locations, for the actual directions you will need to purchase a map produced by the Prineville-Crook County Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, which also provides GPS coordinates. Maps are available in town at the Bend Visitor Center or through any of the agencies’ websites.

Fischer Canyon Roughly 200 miles southeast of Bend, near the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, sits some of the best rock hounding in the State. This site is known to possess agate, jasper and petrified wood. It’s a four-hour drive from the city, but well worth it for the diverse array of stones that can be found here. Once down there, might as well make a proper trip of it and hit the hot springs as well. Whistler Springs Nestled in the Ochocos, just 30 miles northeast of Prineville, this site may well be the closest to Bend to find the infamous Oregon Thunder Egg. These tricky specimens are the Kinder Surprise of the rock-hounding world. Looking seldom more interesting than a dirt clod on the outside, once sawed open they may reveal themselves full of crystals of agate, jasper or calcite, or they may be completely hollow. The finding out is half the fun.

Wrestler’s Paradise
Foxcatcher’s true crime isn’t tawdry enough BY ALISON HALLETT
Psychological thrillers derive tension from their characters’ emotional states— from the intrigue of figuring out the subterranean motivations that drive behavior, decision-making, and relationships. Foxcatcher is more of a physical thriller: The key interpersonal dynamics unfold in the mute interplay of male bodies rolling around on a wrestling mat. (Not in a sexy way.) (A little bit in a sexy way.) Foxcatcher tells a high-intrigue crime story, based on a 1996 murder. (If you aren’t familiar with the crime itself, I won’t spoil it—in the movie’s atmosphere of flat menace, it comes as a shock.) In adapting the story to the screen, however, director Bennett Miller (Moneyball) seems so determined to avoid salaciousness that he errs too far in the other direction. Miller’s reserve is both commendable and frustrating, and the result is a chilly, distant film that observes its characters without explaining them. Foxcatcher opens with wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) woodenly delivering a motivational speech at a grade school. Mark and his brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) are Olympic gold medalists, and this is their reward: low-level speaking engagements, and practice sessions in shabby gyms. After collecting his $20 speaker’s fee, Mark returns to his lonely apartment and shovels ramen into his mouth, fueling himself like a machine. Like a machine, he’s
idling, waiting for his next match, his next round of Olympic trials. We don’t pity Mark, because he doesn’t seem to pity himself—but we don’t understand his ambitions, either, because they’re so singular and so internal. He seems to be trudging mindlessly toward his goals, with no sense of whether or not achieving those goals might actually make him happy. Enter gazillionaire John du Pont (Steve Carell with a weird prosthetic nose). Du Pont, a professional hobbyist with an interest in ornithology and stamps, has a new preoccupation: The desire to bring a winning wrestling team to the Olympics. He invites Mark to live on his estate and train in his top-notch gym, and soon brings on Dave to coach the team he’s creating. Physically, this is the part Channing Tatum was born to play. Massive, dull-faced, surly—if he hadn’t already demonstrated a capacity for charm, you’d be forgiven for thinking he’d been cast as a lug because he is a lug. But in light of his turns in Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street, a different conclusion must be drawn: Chatum is actually a really great actor. In striking contrast to Tatum’s sullen reserve, laser beams of empathy shoot out of Mark Ruffalo’s eyes in every scene; whether by talent or design, he’s the only character who plausibly possesses an inner life. Ruffalo’s character serves as an audience proxy, observing the odd relation-

ship between his brother and du Pont—du Pont is somewhere between friend, father figure, and creepy uncle. We never really find out what’s going on between these two, because Foxcatcher is nearly silent on the subject of its characters’ inner lives. The script gives us few hints as to why Mark wants to be an Olympian, and few plausible clues as to what, exactly, has happened to make du Pont such a next-level weirdo. (It definitely has something to do with his mother.) These characters are inscrutable to themselves, each other, and the audience, and while there’s something com-
mendable about Foxcatcher’s unwillingness to pander to armchair psychologists—or to imply that it’s possible to really know why these events unfolded the way that they did—it makes for frustrating watching. But it’s a movie about wrestlers—world-class wrestlers—and there are unspoken volumes in the casual, violent intimacy of men grappling on a mat. Foxcatcher dir.

FILM EVENTS 20 Feet From Stardom The documentary 20 Feet From Stardom does not teach its audience any lessons we don’t know. What it does is smarter than that: Instead of spending the majority of the running time talking about how cruel and evil the music business is, the film truly succeeds by shining a light on uncredited back-up singers and their stories. Darlene Love’s story might be the most powerful, with her voice being on such classics as “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and “He’s A Rebel,” but getting screwed out of credit for it. There came a point in life where she had quit the industry and was cleaning houses for a living, only to hear one of her songs on the radio and realize music was her destiny. Each singer has a remarkable story and when you see the person and connect them to their songs (especially hearing Merry Clayton do her bit from “Gimmie Shelter”) it becomes jaw dropping to see how much influence these women had on some of the most popular songs in history. The documentary is a massive crowd-pleaser with some great personal stories (oh, and won last year’s Oscar for Best Documentary), some excellent music recorded in ways we have not heard before, and some amazing people who changed music forever just with the sounds of their voice.

La Donna del Lago Based on the classic novel by Sir Walter Scott and set in the Scottish Highlands, Gioacchino Rossini’s La Donna del Lago (translated to Lady of the Lake) is one not to miss.

At over three and a half hours, La Donna del Lago is a must see for any opera enthusiast and most certainly worth the time. Saturday, March 14. 9:55 am.

CHAPPIE: THE IMAX EXPERIENCE While Chappie definitely looks like Short Circuit for the 21st century, because South African director Neill Blomkamp’s name is on it, we’re also likely to get some social commentary spritzed throughout bursts of ultra-violence. A police droid is stolen by revolutionaries (played in part by the members of Die Antwoord) and reprogrammed to feel human emotion. Naturally, the government fears and hates Chappie, and sets about to destroy the robot and everything it stands for. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX
CINDERELLA A live-action retelling of the Disney classic directed by Shakespearean master Kenneth Branagh. Disney will be able to print money pretty soon once the next Star Wars movie comes out, so this version of Cinderella must exist just to remind people about the cartoon.

THE DUFF DUFF stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend and is about a young woman who finds out she’s the DUFF of her group and besides to try and upend her place in the social pecking order.

FOCUS Will Smith and Margot Robbie as con artists getting ready to take down some marks sounds pretty delightful. Even though Smith’s movie star power has somewhat dimmed over the last few years, people forget that when he’s given a strong role, he tends to knock it out of the park. Not saying that this movie has that going for it, but Margot Robbie is damned delightful also and if she and Will Smith had a baby, it would be too beautiful to look at.

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE 2 Hot Tub Time Machine: The First is an underrated little joke machine where four friends travel back in time to when they were young and simple. This time, the foursome (with Adam Scott replacing John Cusack) travel to the future to prevent a past assassination. I’m sure it will all make sense. Not that it needs to. As long as Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Rob Corddrey and Adam Scott bring the funny, then the plot is secondary. Old Mill Stadium

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The new film from the madcap bastard behind Layer Cake, Stardust and X-Men: First Class, Matthew Vaughn.

PROJECT ALMANAC Just your stereotypical found-footage movie about teenagers creating a time machine and screwing up all of history because teenagers are the worst. While the film looks like a rip-off of 2012’s Chronicle, time travel movies are few and far-between nowadays and this one looks like it could be a bit of dumb fun. But seriously, if those damned teenagers ruin the future because of their Tumblrs and their Instagrams, there will be hell to pay. St.Francis Theater RUN ALL NIGHT Liam Neeson plays The Gravedigger, an aging mob hitman who has to go to war with his old boss/best friend in order to protect his son and family. Since the film boils down to Liam Neeson Vs. Ed Harris, it seems guaranteed to entertain with those two badasses squaring off against each other. Hopefully this will be more in line with The Grey as opposed to Taken 3, because that movie was steamed garbage. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre
THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL Leisurely strolling into theaters three years after the sleeper hit that made 1,000 percent profit comes a sequel no one really asked for, but will probably embrace all the same.

Will Judi Dench and Maggie Smith fight with chains and teeth? Please make it so.

Oscar voters love an actor taking on a debilitating disease and Moore has been snubbed a few times in the past, so the stars aligned this year to give her the golden dude.

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING Not to be rude or anything, but Hollywood should stop trying to make Eddie Redmayne a thing. His name sounds like a druid mage in a high school game of D&D and we already have more terrible names than we can deal with since the unfortunate acceptance of Benedict Cumberbatch. Plus, playing Stephen Hawking in a bio-pic is basically giving the Academy an erotic massage in hopes of an Oscar when Mr. Redmayne has yet to pay his dues. And those dues should be a Wayans Bros. movie. Just saying. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT A quietly powerful examination of human nature and the things we do to get by. Marion Cotillard plays a wife and mother who gets out of the hospital for depression to find that her boss has promised her co-workers a bonus if they vote on eliminating her position. So, over one weekend, she must go door-to-door to try and convince her co-workers to give up their bonus so she can keep her job. A subtle and simple film that says more about humanity in 90 minutes than most filmmakers could do in a lifetime. Tin Pan Theater UNFINISHED BUSINESS Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson and Dave Franco travel to Europe to close a business deal and everything goes horribly wrong. Vince Vaughn is easy to pick on, but the combination of those actors is an inspired one. Although, the current 12 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t inspire much of anything.

Is it all uphill from here?
The Next Big Monster
State of the Market
BY WM.™ STEVEN HUMPHREY
First things first, I loved zombies before anybody else, because apparently I’m a hipster like that. However, since you can no longer swing a severed, lesion-covered arm without hitting a zombie-themed TV show, movie, comic book, novel, web series, Twitter account, and nail polish remover, I’ve decided to move on to what will surely become the next big things in monster obsessions: living skeletons and/or werecats. I LOVE ME A WERECAT AND/OR LIVING SKELETON! Werecats are cool, because unlike super mean and aggressive werewolves, werecats just sleep most of the day and steal your milk. Plus they like to cuddle! NAME ONE OTHER MONSTER WHO LIKES TO CUDDLE, YOU CAN’T, I WIN. On the other hand, if you prefer your monsters to be of the fawking terrifying variety, you can’t beat a living skeleton. While you can pretty much figure out why most monsters became monsters—vampires get bit by other vampires, Frankensteins get built by doctors with the same name—there is NO REASON FOR A LIVING SKELETON. They’re just suddenly…there: Rattling across your bedroom floor, bones jangling disconcertingly, jawbone flapping up and down without a single sound coming out. GAAAAAHHH! I don’t wanna talk about it anymore! Anyway, since it’s gonna be a few more years before this zombie thing goes away and living skeletons come jangling into your life, we’ll simply have to make do with what we have. And what we have this week is a brand new young adult zombie show (!) debuting on the CW called “iZombie” (Tues., March 17, 9 pm). Created by the brilliantly mad inventor of

8 PM LIF WUTHERING HIGH SCHOOL—Move (2015) A retelling of Wuthering Heights— set inside a Malibu, California high school, and I assume, a Barbie dream house.
“Veronica Mars” (Rob Thomas) and loosely based on the DC/Vertigo comic book, “iZombie” tells the story of Liv (Rose McIver), a med school student who stumbles into the wrong frat party and BAM! She becomes a half-zombie. (Not sure how that works, but bear with me.) Naturally, zombies need braaaaaains, and so Liv uses her pre-med skills to score a sweet gig as an assistant mortician where she can nosh on as many cerebellums as she pleases. BUT HERE’S THE THING. The brains she ingests also provide her with that person’s memories— which means if they were murdered, she’s in the perfect position to help out the cops by becoming a zombified criminal catcher. BUT HERE’S THE OTHER THING. In this world, eating brains also preserve the zombie’s humanity. So if she doesn’t get enough frontal lobe in her diet, Liv will eventually revert back to the same kind of slow, shambling corpse that gets its head squashed on a weekly basis in “The Walking Dead.” Now I loved “Veronica Mars” more than my own life and Totino Pizza Rolls combined. So I have very high hopes for this show, which combines the mysteriousness and pathos of young adult life (exhibited in “Veronica Mars”) with the butt-kicking fun and drama of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” So let’s check it out this week, and keep our fingers crossed! In the meantime, I’ll continue working on my supernatural TV show that will debut in 2020 called, “Boneyard!” (It’s about living skeletons who start a landscaping business.)
What’s in store for Central Oregon’s ecomomy in 2015? In this new issue, we’ll examine the current housing and job markets, and what it ultimately means for Bend.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the old Super-
man comics, Mister Mxyztplk was a fiendish imp whose home was in the fifth dimension. He sometimes sneaked over into our world to bedevil the Man of Steel with pranks. There was one sure way he could be instantly banished back to his own realm for a long time: If Superman fooled him into saying his own name backwards. You might think it would be hard to trick a magic rascal into saying “Klptzyxm” when he knew very well what the consequences would be, but Superman usually succeeded. I’d like to suggest that you have a similar power to get rid of a bugaboo that has been bothering you, Aries. Don’t underestimate your ability to outsmart the pest.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1637, mathe-
matician Pierre de Fermat declared that he had solved the “Last Theorem,” a particularly knotty mathematical problem. Unfortunately, he never actually provided the proof that he had done so. The mystery remained. Other math experts toiled for centuries looking for the answer. It wasn’t until 1994, more than 350 years later, that anyone succeeded. I think you are on the verge of discovering a possible solution to one of your own long-running riddles, Taurus. It may take a few more weeks, but you’re almost there. Can you sense that twinkle in your third eye? Keep the faith.

efforts might not be flawless in all respects, but I suspect you will triumph anyway. You may not even be completely sure of what you want, but I bet you’ll get a reward you didn’t know you were looking for. Cagey innocence and high expectations will be your secret weapons. Dumb luck and crazy coincidences will be your X-factors. Here’s one of your main tasks: As the unreasonable blessings flow in your direction, don’t disrupt or obstruct the flow.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): As soon as a baby loggerhead turtle leaves its nest on a Florida beach, it heads for the ocean. It’s only two inches long. Although it can swim just one mile every two hours, it begins an 8,000-mile journey that takes ten years. It travels east to Africa, then turns around and circles back to where it originated. Along the way it grows big and strong as it eats a wide variety of food, from corals to sea cucumbers to squid. Succeeding at such an epic journey requires a stellar sense of direction and a prodigious will to thrive. I nominate the loggerhead turtle to be your power animal for the coming weeks, Cancerian. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1961, 19-year-old Bob Dylan began doing solo performances of folk songs at New York clubs. To accompany his vocals, he played an acoustic guitar and harmonica. By 1963, his career had skyrocketed. Critics called him a creative genius. Pop stars were recording the songs he wrote, making him rich. But he still kept his instrumentation simple, relying entirely on his acoustic guitar and harmonica. That changed in 1965, when he made the leap to rock and roll. For the first time, his music featured a full drum set and electric guitar, bass, and keyboards. Some of his fans were offended. How dare he renounce his folk roots? I wonder if it might be time for you to consider a comparable transition, Leo. Are you willing to risk disorienting or disturbing those who would prefer you to stay as you are? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Whoever trav-
els without a guide needs 200 years for a twoday journey.” That’s an old Sufi saying sometimes attributed to the poet Rumi. I don’t think it’s accurate in all cases. Sometimes we are drawn to wander into frontiers that few people have visited and none have mastered. There are no guides! On other occasions, we can’t get the fullness of our learning experience unless we are free to stumble and bumble all by ourselves. A knowledgeable helper would only interfere with that odd magic. But right now, Virgo, I believe the Sufi saying holds true for you. Where you’re headed, you would benefit from an advisor, teacher, or role model.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There’s a meme
rolling around Tumblr and Facebook that goes like this: “Everyone wants a magical solution
for their problems, but they refuse to believe in magic.” Judging from the astrological omens, I think this Internet folk wisdom applies to your current situation. As I see it, you have two choices. If you intend to keep fantasizing about finding a magical solution, you will have to work harder to believe in magic. But if you can’t finagle your brain into actually believing in magic, you should stop fantasizing about a magical solution. Which will it be?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I have taken a passage from a letter that Henry Miller wrote to Anais Nin, and I have chopped it up and rearranged it and added to it so as to create an oracle that’s perfect for you right now. Ready? “This is the wild dream: you with your chameleon’s soul being anchored always in no matter what storm, sensing you are at home wherever you are. You asserting yourself, getting the rich varied life you desire; and the more you assert yourself, the more you love going deeper, thicker, fuller. Resurrection after resurrection: that’s your gift, your promise. The insatiable delight of constant change.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of
your important assignments in the coming week is to get high without the use of drugs and alcohol. Let me elaborate. In my oracular opinion, you simply must escape the numbing trance of the daily rhythm. Experiencing altered states of awareness will provide you with crucial benefits. At the same time, you can’t afford to risk hurting yourself, and it’s essential to avoid stupidly excessive behavior that has negative repercussions. So what do you think? Do you have any methods to get sozzled and squiffed or jiggled and jingled that will also keep you sane and healthy?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Singer Gloria
Gaynor recorded the song “I Will Survive” in 1978. It sold over two million copies and ultimately became an iconic disco anthem. And yet it was originally the B-side of “Substitute,” the song that Gaynor’s record company released as her main offering. Luckily, radio DJs ignored “Substitute” and played the hell out of “I Will Survive,” making it a global hit. I foresee the possibility of a similar development for you, Capricorn. What you currently consider to be secondary should perhaps be primary. A gift or creation or skill you think is less important could turn out to be pre-eminent.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m tempted to furrow my brow and raise my voice as I tell you to please please please go out and do the dicey task you’ve been postponing. But that would just be a way to vent my frustration, and probably not helpful or constructive for you. So here’s my wiser advice: To prepare for that dicey task, lock yourself in your sanctuary until you figure out what you first need to change about yourself before you can accomplish the dicey task. I think that once you make the inner shift, doing the deed will be pretty easy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the fairy tale
The Ugly Duckling, the young hero suffers from a peculiar case of mistaken identity. He believes that he is a duck. All of his problems stem from this erroneous idea. By duck standards, he is a homely mess. He gets taunted and abused by other animals, goes into exile, and endures terrible loneliness. In the end, though, his anguish dissolves when he finally realizes that he is in fact a swan. United with his true nature, he no longer compares himself to an inappropriate ideal. Fellow swans welcome him into their community, and he flies away with them. Is there anything in this story that resonates with you, Pisces? I’m guessing there is. It’s high time to free yourself from false notions about who you really are.

NEWS QUIRKS CURSES, FOILED AGAIN
British police investigating the theft of tools and a shower stall from a home-remodeling project in Crawley arrested Ryan Marsh, 18, after he returned to the job site and tried to sell the items back to the contractor. (Britain’s Crawley News) Police looking for the man who beat up a woman in Ambridge, PA, and held her captive for 12 hours, found him trying to flee town by bus. An hour after the victim called 911, suspect Donald Harrison, 22, posted the Facebook message, “IT’S TIME TO LEAVE PA.” The next day, she told police she spotted Harrison’s selfie on Facebook, announcing, “OMW TO SPARTANSBURG SC.” The Spartanburg bus had just left, so officers caught up to it and arrested Harrison. “We like it when dumb criminals assist in our investigation,” police Chief James Mann said, noting the Pittsburgh suburb has already been featured on “World’s Dumbest Criminals” for “a couple of things.” (Beaver County Times)
LAW-MAKERY
A bill introduced in the Hawaii House would let people change gender on their birth certificates without first having a sex-change operation. “There’s a lot of people out there for whom gender identity and self-expression are fundamental issues,” said Rep. Chris Lee, House Bill 631’s lead author. Debate over the measure centers on whether the new certificates should indicate a change has been made. (Honolulu Star Advertiser)
HOLE-DIGGERY
Japan’s 15th annual hole-digging championships awarded 100,000 yen (US$830) to a team from Saitama that dug down 11.4 feet in the allotted 30 minutes. A record 305 teams entered this year’s event, tournament official Ai Okazaki said, adding, “It takes about a week for our staff to gradually refill the holes.” (Agence France-Presse)
SECOND-AMENDMENT FOLLIES
Authorities accused Stefanie Felicia Stern, 28, of leaving her 3-year-old daughter alone in a liquor store in Deerfield Beach, FL, while she left to hide a handgun after her boyfriend shot himself in the leg. Her arrest warrant said boyfriend Reginald Leon Lee, 34, got into an argument with another customer and chased him out by waving his gun. While putting the gun back in his waistband, he fumbled, and the weapon accidentally fired. Lee claimed a stranger had shot him, but surveillance video proved otherwise. It showed Stern running out with the gun but without the child. (South Florida Sun Sentinel) A 4-year-old boy was shot in the leg in Wasilla, AK, when his mother’s .357-caliber handgun accidentally fell out of its holster, struck the pavement and fired. State troopers said the bullet went through the boy’s leg. (Associated Press)
CAR, WHERE’S MY DUDE?
Ride-hailing service Uber announced it is teaming up with Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University to research driverless vehicles. Uber boss Travis Kalanick said not having to pay a driver would make Uber so cheap that users wouldn’t need to own a car. (The Economist)
TOUGH LOVE
Elizabeth Hupp arranged the armed kidnapping of her 6-year-old son to teach him a lesson, Missouri authorities said, because his family thought he was being too nice to people he didn’t know. Officials said the boy’s grandmother, an aunt and a co-worker of the aunt also took part in the ordeal, during which the boy was tied up and threatened with a gun, had his pants removed and was told he could be sold into sex slavery. After four hours, police said the boy “was unbound and told to go upstairs, where the family lectured him about stranger danger.” (CNN)

Shares of contraceptive companies soared in South Korea after the country’s highest court ruled that a law banning adultery was unconstitutional. The law was enacted in 1953, but the five-judge Constitutional Court decided the law “infringes people’s right to make their own decisions on sex and secrecy and freedom of their private life.” After the ruling, shares of latex-maker Unidus Corp. rose 15 percent. Hyundai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., which makes morning-after birth control pills, saw its stock rise 9.7 percent. Prosecutors said the ban had resulted in 892 people being indicted on adultery charges last year, although none went to jail. (Reuters)
GRAND DUPERY
Two convenience store employees almost destroyed the premises after receiving a call from someone claiming to be the store’s security company. Police in Globe, AZ, said the caller told the workers the silent fire alarm was going off and that to stop it, they had to discharge fire extinguishers in the store, throw the extinguishers through the windows and then destroy merchandise, computers, registers and security televisions, all while customers were shopping. It was when they were told to destroy the computers that the pair suspected the call was a prank. Damage amounted to $30,000, and the store closed for 12 hours to clean up the mess. “They thought they were acting righteously,” police Sgt. A.J. Castaneda said. (Phoenix’s KSAZ-TV)

LITIGATION NATION(S)
The Utah Court of Appeals ruled that Barbara Bagley could sue herself. The case involves the wrongful death of her husband, Bradley Vom Baur, in a car crash near Battle Mountain while she was driving and lost control of the vehicle. As the designated representative of her husband’s estate, Bagley is suing Bagley the driver for negligence. “She has to look out for the estate,” said Reid Tateoka, one of the attorneys representing the widow as plaintiff. Her attorneys as defendant moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing, “The jury will be highly confused. It cannot order a person to compensate herself.” (The Salt Lake Tribune) Sharlene Simon, 42, acknowledged plowing into three bicyclists on a country road outside Innisfil, Ontario, killing one of them, but is suing the victim’s estate, his parents, the County of Simcoe and the two other bicyclists, one of whom was seriously injured. Simon claims the three teenagers were negligent riding their bikes in the middle of the road at 1:30 a.m. Labeling them “incompetent bicyclists,” the suit claims the crash, which occurred while Simon was driving 56 mph in a 50 mph zone, caused her $1.35 million (US$1.07 million) worth of emotional trauma. Her husband, who was following her, is also suing, claiming emotional trauma. (Canada’s QMI Agency)

The Taming Of The Spew
AMY ALKON
This guy I’m dating usually texts back when I text him. But sometimes, like last night, he doesn’t write back. And I’m just texting stuff like “How was your night?”—not “OMG, I miss you.” His not responding feels so disrespectful. I want to read him the riot act. —Deeply Upset
Unfortunately, it’s the rare man who has a mind-reading helmet, and even if this one does, there’s a good chance it’s in the back of his closet under a pile of socks containing semen specimens from the mid-‘90s. So yes, you actually do have to tell a man what you want. But choose your tone wisely. Reading a man the riot act is the right idea if you’re just looking to vent and be done with him. Angrily attacking someone or even just criticizing them will set off their fight-or-flight system. Their brain dispatches a bunch of biochemical messengers to alert the internal palace guard that they’re under attack. This, in turn, shuts down the systems that aren’t necessary for escape or battle, such as their digestive system (yeah, whatever) and their intellect— as in, their ability to consider your point. Oops.
To give this guy a chance to hear you and maybe even change his ways, turn to the wisdom of the world’s first behavioral economist, Adam Smith. In his 1759 potboiler, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith notes that evoking someone’s sympathy motivates them to want to ease the suffering of the person they’re feeling sympathy for. In other words, instead of attacking the guy, simply let him know how hurt you feel when you text him and get only the cold glare of the blank screen in response—the equivalent of his replying to some question you ask him at a party by diving over the porch railing into an embankment. Unless he has an ashtray or another small household object where his heart is supposed to be, chances are he’ll feel bad that you’re feeling bad and try to reassure you. Also, as I explain in Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck, “Technology makes a nearly instant response possible; it doesn’t mandate it.” But by calmly explaining that you’d really appreciate a response—at some point, even the next day—he can lay out what works for him, and the two of you can see whether it’s possible to meet in the middle. By talking instead of raging, you’ll be getting off to a very good start that transcends problem-solving in the text messaging department. (If you can’t tell a guy he’s hurting your feelings, how can you tell him, “Slower—and a little to the right”?)
