t is almost like an unofficial film festival this week, with nearly every evening over the next seven days hosting some remarkable, one-of-a-kind film event—and not just a great film, but live “performances” to provide something that you simply can’t get from renting the movie at home.

On Thursday, in anticipation of TEDxBend this weekend, BendFilm is hosting a special screening of Add The Words, a documentary about a hard fought battle in Idaho to add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the state’s human rights act.

The film first screened at the BendFilm Festival, and Nicole LeFavour, a former state lawmaker who is profiled in the film, returns for her talk on Saturday at TEDxBend, and also will be present at a screening on Thursday evening (6 pm) for a prefilm Q&A with me (see Film Events, page 31).

And then this weekend, back-to-back: On Saturday, The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour swings through town; each stop on this 200-city tour is catered to the location, with sports matching the location, although that probably presents some struggles for the organizers who will need to make the festival a grab bag of kayaking, snowboarding and mountain biking films.

Then, on Sunday, a lecture by Larry Groupé, a film composer (see Film, page 31) and, rounding out the week, a very special screening of The Breakfast Club, which we modestly are declaring the greatest 30th anniversary celebration in the country—and, why not, we have the film’s cinematographer on location for a Q&A (see Film, page 30) and are hosting a costume contest.

Yes, it is quite a week for film in Bend.

Have something to say? Send your thoughts to editor@bendsource.com. Letters must be received by noon Friday for inclusion in the following week’s paper.

Please limit letters to 250 words. Submission does not guarantee publication. Letter of the week receives $5 to Palate!

IN REPLY TO “UNNECESSARY LOUDNESS” (4/8)

IN REPLY TO “BUILDING THE BIG PICTURE” (4/8)

Why are there so few full time rental homes available? I think it’s because many homes are sitting empty most of the time.

Would the Source be able to do a little survey some Wednesday evening and see how many homes are empty in a given area? I bet the number would be surprising.

—Ken via bendsource.com

IN REPLY TO “SIMPLY HER BEST” (4/8)

How about some credit for Pilot Butte Partners, the true benefactors of Pilot Butte? They were responsible for the complete restoration of the top and the parking lot, and are working on grants for more improvements. Can’t really see the need for another group since the Pilot Butte Partners have been around for 25 years.

—anotherbendite via bendsource.com

IN REPLY TO “CITY VOTES 4-3 TO SUPPORT MIRROR POND” (3/19)

It seems amazing to me that the City and

our Parks and Rec Department are trying to redevelop the downtown riverfront by saying it is for the “health of the river.” If you look at this new plan, they are using the river to push forth development of up to four stories along Drake Park and downtown.

This is the real issue, hidden in “let’s fix Mirror Pond.” Doesn’t anyone else see this as a travesty, packaged into something being sold for the better good for Bend? Where do they plan to put another four-story parking garage once they take out the two lots along Mirror Pond? Oh, and how does the City pay for those?

—Wondering Why via bendsource.com

KILLING COUGARS NOT EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT

The Bend Bulletin article on April 6 titled, “Were Cougars in Bend here by coincidence?” was disappointing. The article did not ferret out the biological issues; it only heightened unreasonable public fear.

There have been two cougars needlessly killed in Bend since January due to the perceived danger they presented to the public.

Rather than react to our innate fears, consider the facts. Only 20 people have been killed in North America by cougars between 1890 and 2011. In all likelihood, the cougars would have moved along without harming anyone.

The biologist’s explanation for why cougars travel in areas like Pilot Butte is also disappointing. While ODFW authorities blame it on coincidence, Montana FWP authorities note that cougars seen in populated areas are likely juveniles, often orphaned, who have not been taught to avoid humans and populated areas. Cougars are stealth animals and prefer to remain unseen.

Hunting cougars is a likely cause for orphaned cougars. Hunting and these killings

are ineffective management strategies and they do not keep the public safe.

ODFW’s conservation mission is to, “protect and enhance Oregon’s fish and wildlife and their habitats for us and enjoyment by present and future generations.” ODFW’s severe budgetary shortfalls due to falling revenue from hunting licenses are a detriment of its mission. Call Rep. Knute Buehler and Sen. Tim Knopp, ask them to support general funding for ODFW. —Mary Fay

LEGALIZE WEED EXPORT FOR OREGON’S FUTURE

The news has been getting depressing about the future of Oregon. Funds from the federal government to the state have been declining. There isn’t enough budget at the state and local levels to pay for infrastructure. The Port of Portland is losing its connections to Asia and Europe. The local school districts are losing funding in a K-12 education system ranked lowest in the U.S. Drought will negatively impact farmers and communities. Fires are breaking out in much of the forest.

Oregon definitely needs to get its house in order. It has to look beyond the recent scandal in the Governor’s office. It has to look beyond partisan bickering.

What Oregon needs is to legalize marijuana as a cash crop and export it to other western states. There can be taxes levied and revenues generated. Oregon will have a brighter future and not one up in smoke.

goes. The heading reminded me of another place in which I lived where the local surfers would mark territory with the saying “Vals (non-coastal residents) go home.” A longtime resident of this area was telling me that in the not too distant past black people could not, were not allowed to, live in a local town. Wow. It is a shame that some residents think that diversity was a ship in the Civil War. From my own casual observation, 75 percent of the current residents of Bend moved here from another state.

I would like to know that prejudice is not alive and well in Bend, and that tolerance for “others” is a value that rings true when one hears the kind words “Welcome to Bend!”

I have been a patron of the Riverside Market for 6 years. I suspect the writer of this letter is “new to the neighborhood” and probably to Bend, as much of their rant seems highly aggregated.

I’d bet money that if the writer of this letter lived next to one of our fabulous city parks or elementary schools they would be complaining about that noise (children playing gleefully), traffic, and the parking, too.

The owner of the Riverside Market is very sensitive to “rational and lucid” members of the neighborhood, and has even changed closing time from 11 pm to 9 pm (two years ago), much to my chagrin.

The writer fails to mention that this “local haven” provides needed vital services to the neighborhood, not to mention jobs.

Need a quart of milk, need a hardy breakfast/lunch, need a place to gather and catch up with friends, want to watch a game on wide screen?

I have never witnessed the police at the Riverside Market. What I have witnessed is a great place to meet great people, with great food.

As a society isn’t it “the needs of the many outweigh the needs/wants of the ONE?” I would say this to the writer, if you want absolute quiet, then move outside of Bend.

We need more places like the Riverside Market; not less!

I am not afraid to put my name on this, like Anonymous/Unnecessary Complaining.

Last Thursday morning, Sen. Jeff Merkley dropped by the Source offices—cowboy boots and all.

We were impressed.

During our endorsement interview last fall, when Sen. Merkley was campaigning for re-election, we were lukewarm about the senator and his knowledge about Bend and what issues are pertinent to the region. At that time, he spoke in our endorsement interview repeatedly about Central and Eastern Oregon, as if interchangeable, and when asked about what he has done specifically to represent issues here, talked about ranchers and prattled on about his work with the Postmaster General to keep open post offices in Antelope and Fort Rock. We weren’t terribly impressed, although we did endorse him.

At the time, one of his campaign staff said that he would follow up with a visit after the election—and take the opportunity to talk and listen more to what issues we believe are important for Bend and Central Oregon.

We are impressed that he followed up.

And, more importantly, we were impressed by a slew of policies he is pushing, many with positive impacts on Central Oregon.

Six months into his second term and speaking with our editor Phil Busse in our conference room, Sen. Merkley was incredibly well informed and, in calm but determined terms, the talk ranged from affordable housing to forest management, and even when we discussed beer it was not in trite bro terms comparing stouts and IPAs, but an earnest discussion and understanding of the daily business and regulatory issues that the industry faces. Six months ago, along with Sen. Ron Wyden, he pushed back against an FDA rule that would have banned brewers from selling their spent grain as feed to cattle ranchers. That rule would have proven expensive to brewers, who would have needed to find more complicated means of disposing of the byproduct, and also would have added waste and cost to regional ranchers who can use the spent grain as feed for their cattle.

Unlike some of his fellow senators—oh, say, John Kerry—Merkley grew up in a blue collar household. His dad worked as a repairman for lumber mills and during our discussion Merkley referenced the post-World War II generation, talking about “positive cycle” that children in the ’50s and ’60s experienced, with expanding educational opportunities that were in a large part made possible by increased federal funding. Those decades are apt—if not opposite—comparisons to current struggles and downward spirals with educational opportunities.

Merkley was not only compassionate about those struggles and disparities, but he sits on the Banking and Housing Committee, and has been working to correct opportunities for students’ grants and, later that morning, he spoke at Oregon State University–Cascades.

Merkley also spent last week on a statewide tour discussing food stamps. He has been one of the stronger voices speaking against proposed cuts to SNAP benefits, and expressed his understanding about the wide-reaching impacts that losing federal assistance for food costs can have, from nutritional concerns to widening economic gaps, a scenario that already is starkly playing out in Central Oregon where high school graduation rates are separated by roughly 20 percent between middle-plus class teenagers and those from working class families.

With fire season quickly approaching, Merkley also made certain to talk about forest management issues. Along with federal representatives from the state, he has been pushing to move federal funding for forest fire fighting into FEMA. He pointed out that there has been resistance from states in flood regions, but he has been steadily networking and lobbying for a change that would assure more stable funding to manage forest fires in the region.

Yes, six months after our tepid endorsement, we turn up the heat to a steady boil! Count us as duly impressed with Sen. Merkley, and his cowboy boots!

As far as specific funding mechanisms, that buy-in from employers, along with an increased investment breakout groups shared a variety of ideas including a gas tax (for from city and federal coffers, will be enough to unveil these initial biking and pedestrian improvements), a transportation utility fee, and increasing enforcement of school speed zones to fund transporimprovements.

That buy-in is so far taking the form of employee and student tation infrastructure in the immediate area.

Bend 2030 will use the feedback from the forum to design a comgroup-pass programs. The idea is to get workplaces and schools to buy unlimited monthly passes for their employees and students at a munity survey on transportation over the next few weeks. The resteeply discounted rate, thereby increasing both revenue and rider- sults from that survey will be distilled into a report that will allow ship. And it’s a screaming deal—the group passes cost just $2.50 per the group to advocate for specific, community-supported solutions user per month. That’s the same price as a single-use, full-price bus with local and state policy-makers.

The Oregon House of Representatives voted Tuesday to allow local governments to practice what’s known as “inclusionary zoning.” Currently banned in Oregon and Texas, the zoning approach would require affordable housing units to be built alongside market-rate housing, while creating incentives for such development. The bill’s proponents say the change would create much-needed opportunities for affordable housing, pointing out that between 2007 and 2011, 25 percent of Oregonians spent more than half their paychecks on rent. Housing is typically considered “affordable” when it constitutes 30 percent or less of income. That same ratio would be applied to zoning, with up to 30 percent of a given zone being set aside for affordable housing. The bill now moves to the State Senate.

Volunteers in Medicine, a local program that provides medical services to low-income residents who cannot access coverage through Affordable Care Act programs, received some recent accolades. At last weekend’s SAGE Awards, presented by the Bend Chamber, Volunteers in Medicine was honored with the People’s Choice Award. The clinic also recently received a $3,000 grant from the Pacific Power Foundation to support cultural competency training and volunteer education. Since opening in 2004, Volunteers in Medicine has served more than 11,000 patients, providing benefits estimated to be worth $62 million.

Not to be a buzz kill, but April is Alcohol Awareness Month. No, that doesn’t mean it’s time to check the fridge and the cupboards to ensure you have enough booze for the possibly, maybe pending apocalypse. It means its time to take a hard look at your relationship with fermented grains and grapes and make sure you’re still having fun. According to a 2014 Gallup Poll, one third of Americans say alcohol causes family problems. Whether you’re part of one of those families, or you’re the one causing problems, help’s available.

Bursting at the Seams

Bend’s UGB debate highlights tensions over the city’s growth

BY ERIN ROOK

Just past Worthy Brewing, on Bend’s east side, the contrast between city and county is stark and sudden.

To the west, cookie-cutter housing complexes line the streets around big box stores and massive parking lots. To the east, deer carcasses decompose in the ditch on a recent Sunday evening, while rock chucks scurry around expansive fields surrounding modest farm houses. Between the two dramatically different spaces is the infamous urban growth boundary, the largely unmarked line beyond which Bend shall not build—and that contrast between urban and rural is just one reason why the decision over where, and how much, the urban growth boundary ought to shift to accommodate Bend’s fast-growing population is being hotly debated.

By 2028, Bend’s population is expected to swell to approximately 115,000 people—an increase of about 35,000, or roughly 40 percent, over today’s numbers. And while some residents would like to scrawl “No Vacancy” under the Welcome to Bend sign, there’s no turning people away. The retirees are coming. The students are coming. The ski bums are (still) coming.

Where will those additional residents live, work, and play—and how will they travel among these destinations?

With a rental vacancy rate of less than 1 percent, a plethora of low-paying service industry jobs, and trails showing their wear, there are no simple answers about how to accommodate growth while preserving the city’s integrity. But these are some of the key questions the City of Bend’s UGB remand process brings to the surface.

Houses, houses everywhere, but not a place to live

Since 1973, state land use law in Oregon has required cities to periodically revisit plans and expectations for future growth. The idea is to ensure there is an ample supply of land— and plan—for housing and jobs, while still preserving farmland and countryside from unchecked development.

In 2009, the City of Bend submitted its last UGB proposal, an idea at the time that advocated for adding some 8,000 acres to the City.

But the state said, “no,” and sent the proposal back with some heavy red pen edits; namely, directing the City to make more efficient use of the land already within its boundaries, rather than simply expanding.

What does this mean for the average Bendite? Though the UGB remand process is rife with technical details, it is more than a simple planning document. Rather, it is both a literal and figurative blueprint for Bend’s future, capturing the community’s values and vision.

On a practical level, many believe that how—and where—the urban growth boundary is allowed to expand, and the types of efficiency measures enacted within the existing limits, will significantly impact the supply and cost of housing.

“The main thing at stake is housing affordability,” says Councilor Victor Chudowsky.

“The City’s stalled UGB efforts contributed to the current housing crisis.” He adds that the city is on track to complete the new UGB proposal—and submit it to the state—by next

spring, a plan that would allow for the construction of more than 16,000 new housing units, including more apartments. Many of these will be within Bend’s current boundary. “If we don’t do this then,” Chudowsky hastens, “people with lower and middle-range incomes will not be able to live in this city.”

But, in spite of that assessment—both of the need for more affordable housing and the potential impact of the UGB expansion on the cost of land within the City—not everyone agrees exactly how where the UGB should flex to allow Bend to expand, or what housing should look like within the UGB. Some want single-family houses with generous lawns at the edge of the city, while others advocate for more urban options, such as apartments above shops near the downtown core.

Central Oregon LandWatch Executive Director Paul Dewey favors density over sprawl, and hopes the city will grow up, rather than out.

“Given Bend’s proclivity toward explosive growth, change is coming fast and it will either be good or bad very soon,” Dewey says. “‘Smart growth’ looks sustainable,” he adds. “It is more urban—with at least three-story buildings and a large residential population near the city core—than suburban. It preserves the surrounding forests and other rural land. It allows more walking and biking and creates neighborhoods.”

That density has worked for cities like Portland, which has dramatically developed its neighborhoods over the past decade, including massive projects to build multistory condos to accommodate that city’s booming population. But, even some former supporters of maintaining the UGB to force that sort of growth—and corresponding preservation of the countryside—have begun to question whether it is the best way to manage Bend’s particular set of pressures.

Former Bend mayor Bruce Abernathy, for example, was among a slate of candidates who ran on a slow-growth platform in 2000, but now he says he’s walking a more centrist path.

“The UGB is designed to sort of control and manage growth [outside of its boundaries],” Abernathy says. “The flip side is you really can’t control the rate of growth inside the UGB… that was the realization I had so I kind of backed away from that. It’s important to manage the growth rather than control the rate of growth.”

Abernathy notes that in 2005, when he and his fellow City Councilors were working on the last UGB proposal, Bend was sixth-fastest growing city in the country, as measured by the breakneck speed at which single-family housing permits were being issued. Moreover, a decade ago, the population and housing market surge led City Council to believe that the City would need a whole lot more land. So, in its last request to expand the UGB, it asked for about 8,000 additional acres.

“One strategy was to try to go bigger than we needed to go so we wouldn’t get caught in this trap again where the demand is putting too much pressure on the available supply,” Abernathy recalls.

This time around, the remand process is less manic, and has scaled back its request to about 2,000 additional acres, with a carefully crafted mix of housing types.

FEATURE NEWS Big city, bright lights

It’s easy to miss, but one of the most contentious aspects of the UGB conversation is an otherwise benign four-letter word: City.

Because Oregon land use law is structured to help preserve open spaces, it strongly encourages density.

As Bend’s population approaches the 100,000 mark, it will move further and further away from the small town it was just a decade or two ago.

And not everyone is happy about that.

“Parts of Bend will start to look more like a real city,” Chudowsky says. “Some people will like this, particularly people who desire an urban environment or who don’t like sprawl.” He adds, “other people won’t, because they moved here for the elbowroom they did not have in Seattle or California, or they desire the bucolic Bend of their youth.”

But Chudowsky believes that not only can a balance be struck, but that it is not actually a trade-off, but potentially a win-win. “I’m pretty optimistic.

This city has the potential to be a real jewel, even more than it is now.”

No, it doesn’t mean turning Bend into Portland, even though infill and housing density have both been major themes in the redrafting process of the UGB proposal to the state. Even so, it isn’t likely Bendites will see four or five-story condos popping up on every corner. In fact, many parts of the city will see little-to-no change, but one neighborhood that has been targeted for a more urban approach to redevelopment is the so-called Central Area, just east of downtown; an area roughly bounded by Third Street on the east, around the tracks on the west, Revere on the north, and the railway underpass south of Franklin on the south.

COLW’s Dewey says that blueprinting development for certain neighborhoods can help take pressure off others.

“Mixed use development, multi-story buildings with a strong residential component, including affordable hous-

“One challenge of growth is that it becomes harder to conduct business based on knowing people,” laments Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel, who moved to Bend in 1996 for a job. “Thirty years of friendship and trust, followed by a handshake, is how many business and civic deals were struck in Bend. As new people arrive, start businesses, and become involved in service clubs and local government, we end up interacting professionally with people who are new to us. This is uncomfortable for many of us.”

But with that growth also can come benefits. Andy High, who works for the Central Oregon Builders Association and serves on the Bend-La Pine School Board and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, says he anticipates an increase in economic opportunities.

“I see an increase in family wage jobs and a real increase in economic diversity,” High says. “I believe we will continue to diversify the economy and not be so reliant on housing and tourism.”

Fears of future growth

ing,” he explains, “would allow population growth in Bend’s center, allowing people the ability to walk and shop downtown and shop on Third Street without as much increase in traffic as would occur in a suburban pattern.”

But, in order to accommodate this mix of growth and preservation, city leaders emphasize that Bend’s “suburban” development code must be updated; currently, they say, it is failing to meet the needs of an increasingly urban city. Code changes—like reducing parking requirement, increasing density, and allowed mixed-use zoning—are likely on the horizon.

And, it is more than what Bend will look like—whether single-story homes with sprawling lawns, or sleek four-story condos. Many point out that how a space—and a city—is designed, overall affects its neighborhood character.

“I think we are at a key decision point that will shape Bend’s future,” says Mike Riley, executive director of The Environmental Center. “We need to look hard at meeting as much of the projected ‘need’ for housing and jobs within the existing UGB first and then move to expansion.”

Aaron Broadbent, a 30-something Bend native, says he worries that growth will threaten the very qualities people are moving here to enjoy. “I feel like such a hypocritical crotchety old man even saying that, but I know I’m not the only one.” He continues, “As Bend grows, that ‘Central Oregon Lifestyle’ and all those great outdoor opportunities that brought so many of us here just get less and less, well, good.”

“I do not like the growth,” he admits. “I do not welcome it. But I’m here. Sure I’ve been here awhile, but none of these places or things of nature are mine. So I’m just as much of the problem as anyone.”

Who is living and moving to Bend?

BY THE SOURCE STAFF

Josh Dodson, Service Industry

Andrew and Kelsey, Tourists

How did you end up in Bend?

I grew up here.

Traveled around quite a bit and have yet to find somewhere better.

We are planning to get married soon, and the Five Pines in Sisters is a strong contender for our reception.

Where do you live in Bend?

Mid-town Bend, in a house with three roommates and couple dogs.

Taco stand when it’s open, or Brother Jon’s.

If going out to eat, most likely go where?

What do you think is the ideal population size for Bend?

McMenamins (seasonal pomegranite beer, Thai chicken skewers, and a delicious Baja chicken sandwich).

My wife and I knew we wanted to move to a smaller town that offered access to outdoor activities.

NW side of town.

Hmm... Victorian Cafe or Chow for a weekend sit-down breakfast. Nancy P’s is great for a quick breakfast on the way up to the mountain.

Cannot beat a Parrilla Grill burrito after a day of mountain biking.

Bob Shaw Long Time Resident

Steve Miller Retiree Bend was our pick to live after living all over the U.S. from California to Virginia, the Rocky Mountains and Alaska.

All things we wanted in our retirement home seem to be available in or around Bend.

The RV industry brought me to Bend. Beaver Coaches hired me as their Warranty Administrator.

We moved here October 1983.

We will be living in the Awbrey Park subdivision on the Butte.

We rented a home for the first few months, and then bought a home in SE Bend. Which we sold a couple of years ago and now live in a small townhouse on the west side.

Joolz for dinner and McKay Cottage for breakfast.

Telluride Film Festival at Tower Theatre.

What—and when—was the last cultural event you attended in Bend?

What—and when—was the last outdoor activity you did in Bend?

Airbnb’ed a cabin.

Dr. Jeff Meyrowitz, New Arrival

The art walk for First Friday downtown.

Snowboarding at Bachelor and kickball at Harmon after.

None.

It was too cold outside!

Ten percent less than there the population right now.

Feels like it could double sometime in the next 10-15 years.

Half million is about the max I could see being acceptable.

Have not attended any events in Bend . . .yet.

Snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor, mountain biking at Phil’s.

Well...since my family and I are new arrivals, I’ll say at least three more people...

Hiking the trail along the Deschutes River up to the bridge, south of town and back.

I would like to see Bend try and control growth to some extent to keep its small town atmosphere.

Hard to do, and I think that one day Bend and Redmond will be one urban area.

We tend to lean toward the smaller establishments.

The brew pubs, of course, are great. Jackson’s Corner (both locations), Joolz and Barrio are current favorites.

We love the theatre…

The Tower…Second Street…high schools… pretty much all of it.

Cheryl and I love to hike and kayak. The most recent outing was brief, but noteworthy. We walked to the top of Pilot Butte in the dark for the sunrise service Easter morning.

We adapt easily. Growth brings its own challenges and benefits. It’s fun to stay flexible and enjoy working through both.

SUGGESTS...

Into the Mystic Forest with Haunted Summer

BY ANNE PICK

BY ANNE PICK

Shawn James & The Shapeshifters Shawn James & The Shapeshifters fulfill the promise their name suggests by shifting sound with every album. While maintaining the same rock and roll musical momentum, the band can play softer, more folky and soulful songs like “Pendulum Swim” from their Deliverance album. Their most recent album, The Gospel According to Shawn James and the Shapeshifters, takes on a harder rock sound.

James’ vocals border on those of a heavy metal band, but that might just be his throaty rasp. Either way, James has ultimate control of his vocal instrument and manipulates it based on the feeling he wants to convey.

COULD THEY BE NAMED ANY BETTER? MOODY AND SEASONS? HAUNTED SUMMER, 4/18. PHOTO BY SARAH SITKIN.

When Bridgette Moody and John Seasons discovered they were having similar kinds of dreams and nightmares, the decision to collaborate musically seemed natural. Friends for more than a decade before forming Haunted Summer, Moody and Seasons found themselves in similar circumstances with their respective bands at the time. They both felt like they were running from something, but were able to meet in their similar dreams.

“These dreams helped us generate this whole feeling for our music and how we present it. It allowed us to feel something and think something. It paved the way for our sound and our image for where we are today,” says Seasons. “The Mystic Forest, meeting in the fog, inspires the feeling of our music.”

Haunted Summer plays experimental dream pop, which can often times be described as eerie, and most appropriately, haunting and orchestral. Moody’s vocals have a certain airiness about them; light and soft, while still lingering in your mind hours later. Her smooth and seductive voice paves the way for the sometimes psychedelic, but always beautiful and melodic digital, dream pop beats.

“We wanted to make music we were happy with,” Seasons says.

“We’d been friends for a decade,” Moody recalls. “This project blossomed along with our romantic relationship. It gave us time to focus on each other and it worked out for both of us. This project made us both happy, rather than feeding one person’s ego.”

What initially started as a collaboration with other musicians at a Halloween Animal Collective cover show, transformed into a serious project for Moody and Seasons. That first show led to every-

thing else. They played a six-song set, and at the end did a song by themselves that they remember getting a crazy reaction from.

“That summer was hard to get together and start making the music we wanted,” says Seasons.

Moody and Seasons eventually did get together and started writing songs together under the Haunted Summer moniker. As they completed more songs, they also started being pursued for some serious shows. Along the way, the two fell in love and got married.

“We’re super grateful we don’t have to leave each other. We’ve both been in that situation before. It’s hard leaving friends, family, a significant other. That’s a hard struggle. We’re fortunate to be able to do this together. You never have to feel like you’ve completely left home.” says Moody.

“It’s always a hard thing not having someone you trust to work with. We’re very lucky to be working together. We respect and love each other,” Seasons agrees.

From the initial collaboration in the dreamy, mystic forest, to the eerily beautiful orchestral pop sounds that resulted, Haunted Summer creates a unique listening experience that stays with you long after. Based on Haunted Summer’s beginnings, dream pop couldn’t be a more appropriate genre for their experimental, lingering sound.

Rivers Cuomo of Weezer once famously blew up at a reporter that asked a question about Weezer bass player’s side-project, The Rentals.

A new album just dropped from The Relationship, a band made up of second-fiddle members of Weezer, U.S. Bombs, and The Bravery, which chose its name based on the idea of collaboration instead of being lorded over by their respective auteurs. It’s a solid album. And it got us thinking, “hey, there’s probably one or two other side-projects out there worth highlighting.”

A lot more music than you might realize is considered to be a side-project, not its creators primary occupation. Bands like Gorillaz, or Atlas Sound, or The Dead Weather, or The Postal Service, were all big hits in their own rite, but would be big hits with Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally, because they’re all served on the side. Zing! So we took a buncha those bands and others and made a mixtape.

Cats Under the Stars does just that. Imagine cats just hanging out under the stars!? What are they doing and why? Their name alone inspires potential listeners to find out more.

Cats Under the Stars is a Jerry Garcia tribute band.

DOES ZZ TOP KNOW HE BORROWED THEIR BEARDS? LEON RUSSELL, 4/20. PHOTO BY MATT HESSON.

Leon Russell is a Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy Award nominee for Song of the Year in 1977, and a musician who has played with musicians as diverse as Herb Alpert and Frank Sinatra, and counts among his friends Willie Nelson, Elton John, and George Harrison.

Reading Leon Russell’s musical biography is a matrix of styles and icons; really, it is impossible to plot him in one spot or space in musical history.

He started his career with J.J. Cale, as a teenager playing in Oklahoma clubs, and migrated west where he played keyboards, guitar, and xylophone on hit songs for Jan & Dean, Ray Charles, and Joe Cocker, as part of the “Wrecking Crew,” a backup band the subject of a recent documentary.

But, as our recent conversation found, he may be a prolific musician, but is a man of few words.

Source Weekly: In the mid-60s, you played with both The Byrds and Herb Alpert.

I love both, but those are vastly different sounds. How much do you feel like your sound affects a band, or how much does the band’s sound change your playing style?

Leon Russell: I rarely have that much influence on a band. I never played with anyone like Herb Alpert. He was a great teacher and influence for me.

SW: Okay, well, what do you think is lost, what is gained by playing in so many different bands, but not necessarily being primarily associated with any single one?

LR: I’m not aware of losing anything playing with a band.

SW: Well, okay. Maybe asked differently, if you had to choose to be part of one band that you have played with, which would it be?

LR: The best part.

SW: Let’s try a different topic perhaps. Can we talk about your beard? It is truly amazing! How long have you had that? What would it take for you to shave it off?

LR: I can’t remember what happened yesterday. I have it primarily because I hate to shave. If I was going to remove it, I would have to have some sharp scissors and a good razor.

SW: Fair enough. Let’s see. You seem to have a strong relationship with Willie Nelson and Elton John. That seems like quite a stretch of personality types. What does that say about you?

LR: Both of them are very strong spirits and in general, just good people. I would say that is what attracts my interest in them. I don’t really think of them as “personality types.”

SW: Alright. How about last question. Do you prefer recording or performing?

LR: Both arenas are fun for me. I couldn’t say I like one more than the other.

What Schrödinger’s Cat Can Teach Us about Quantum Mechanics If you put a cat in a sealed box with a device that has a 50% chance of killing the cat in the next hour, what will be the state of the cat when that time is up?

In this talk, physicist Wendi Wampler helps us unravel and understand Schrödinger’s Cat and what it can teach us about quantum mechanics.

py decision. Scratch that. I made several crappy decisions. But somewhere at the top of that crappy-decision list is the one that I neglected to permanently correct (as I should have) after entering the parenthood club.

Now as a parent—the one responsible for selflessly nurturing a young creature—it always feels a tad uncomfortable admitting to such poor choices. All the judgment and criticism, the frowning and head-shaking­­—it makes for a tough confessional. Well pardon my offense against the accepted standards of decency, but eff that.

How else can we improve as parents if not by reflecting and sharing, by listening and learning? We all know there’s no such thing as a flawless mom or dad (much less a universal parenting manual), so why shouldn’t we be candid with each other? Come on, this is 200,000 years of imperfect human parenting we’re talking about here. Ease up, haters.

I digress. Back to the topic. About eight years ago, I took up smoking. Yes—I was immature, irresponsible, impulsive, and easily influenced.

And over the next several years, I found myself in a careless pattern of quitting and resuming, quitting and resuming…

monia? Not a bad reason to kick the habit. But back on my feet again and I was back to the cigarettes. Nine months of pregnancy (and a child to boot)? Another excellent deterrent—but only until my breastfeeding days had ended. Etcetera, etcetera.

Mark Twain said it perfectly: “Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.”

As a mother, I felt the need to justify my selfish habit with statements like, “At least I always smoke outside, away from my child. At least I’m conscious of his health.” I attributed my subsequent quitting-attempt failures to the stressful situations and tragic life events I encountered along the way. And I excused my unhealthy addiction with rationalizations like, “My vice could be worse.”

But as my son got older (and wiser), he began subtly undermining each vindication, as if taking an eraser to my whiteboard of defensive plays and surreptitiously wiping it clean.

“Mom, can you please not go outside? I just want you to stay and play with me. But Mom, I just wanted to come outside and give you a hug and a kiss.”

It was never a proud decision for me, but watching my son grow was definitely what took the shame and guilt of smoking to a whole new level (and rightfully so).

So finally, with a little push from a very supportive individual (and with an open mind to some helpful alternative therapies), I started the cessation process a bit differently. This time— with no extreme situation forcing me to quit—I was able to focus both gradually and willfully on all the reasons why I, the one responsible for selflessly nurturing a young creature, had needed (and surprisingly wanted) to stop smoking.

Crappy decision: permanently corrected.

We’ll always be imperfect parents. But with a little courage, some self-reflection and a few positive supporters, we can always be better.

Dairy, Fruit, and Spices; So Nice

Just in time for summer, Bonta Gelato opens a downtown storefront

BY PHIL BUSSE, WITH REPORTING FROM HAYLEY JO MURPHY

A year ago, Jeff Labhart dropped by our offices at the Source, and dropped off four pints of gelato. It was a great surprise on an early summer day.

Labhart, originally from Oregon’s dairy territory of Tillamook, and his wife Juli, originally from a berry growing community in northwestern Washington, seemed to be an ideal combination to bring traditional dairy and fruit flavors, but Labhart also explained that they had recently traveled around the globe gathering ideas for spices and flavors.

Last June, Labhart also talked about plans to sell their gelatos at farmers’ markets and grocery stores in the region, and eventually planned to open a storefront.

And, last Saturday, on a sunny afternoon, the couple did just that: Bonta Gelato opened doors on its brick-and-mortar store downtown. Much like popular ice cream stores in Portland, the lines were out the door.

Although The Dude may have disapproved of The Eagles playing on the stereo, the space was warm and inviting. Even though there was steady foot traffic, there was still plenty of table space to sit.

The pleasant server said that dulce de leche, a creamy flavor with a strong undertone of caramel, was the most popular seller so far. A chalkboard announced other offerings, each proudly announcing the origin of its flavor: a boysenberry sorbetto, Tumalo lavendar & honey, Turkish coffee, and vanilla bourbon pecan. There are also lots of alternative milk options, including sorbetto and vegan concoctions made with coconut milk, including a delicious rich chocolate coconut.

Help the Animals

Brewers worldwide descend upon Portland and Bend

BY KEVIN GIFFORD

Participating restaurants will generously donate a percentage of the day’s sales to benefit the thousands of stray, abandoned, neglected and abused animals at the WHAT’S MORE FUN THAN A BEER CONVENTION? PHOTO BY KEVIN GIFFORD.

Tourists visit Oregon all the time to try out the local beer. This weekend, all the brewers are too.

Portland is the host city this year for the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC), an industry-only event attended by over 10,000 brewers, bar owners, and industry suppliers.

It’s not open to the public, but you can still experience the event through the dozens of beer dinners, tap takeovers, and other debauchery taking place across Portland—and in Bend, too, where Boneyard held a collaboration event last weekend at Velvet on Wall St. with UK-based microbrewery Beavertown.

Founded in 2011, Beavertown—no relation to Beaverton, Oregon—specializes in bold West Coast styles. Selections onoffer at Velvet included their Black Betty CDA and Bloody ‘Ell, a blood-orange-flavored IPA that virtually popped off the tongue with citrus notes. “I first really got into craft beer when I used to tour around the United States with my band,” Beavertown founder Logan Plant told the Source. “I think it’s fair to say that beer is a big part of the social fabric across a lot of England, but you’re only now seeing a new type of drinker who’s really passionate about the tastes in the beer they drink.

That’s an audience you can immediately spot all across this state.”

Plant was one of several CBC attendees who have stopped by Bend the past few days to check out the scene, hailing from places as far off as Lost Rhino (Ashburn, VA) and Salty Nut Brewery (Huntsville, AL). If you’d like to sample some of their wares, a car trip to Portland this weekend might not be a bad idea—Boneyard’s sponsoring the Beergasm Fest at the Green Dragon in the southeast side of the city April 16, where craft-beer biggies like Surly, Crooked Stave, and 3 Floyds will all be on tap.

ART WATCH

Carrell and French bring magic to TEDxBend, literally

BY KELSEY ROOK

WYATT CARRELL AND HAYDEN FRENCH.

Tickets to TEDxBend 2015 sold out in just seven hours this year.

If I was looking for a ticket, I would turn to two of the presenters for help—Saturday’s lineup includes a super young and talented magician duo who might know a thing or two about making things appear out of thin air. Hayden French and Wyatt Carrell are both students at Bend High School who have mastered the art of illusion at the young age of 15. Judging by Carrell’s YouTube video of their performance at a school assembly this last winter, they are already a huge hit at their school. This makes sense when you consider that French, who took up magic only recently to impress a girl, can solve a Rubik’s Cube in less than a minute. And Carell is a self-taught web designer and programmer who shares his magical feats—he can do both The Famous Houdini and the “Coke Trick”—with his YouTube audience. The duo will take the stage at TEDxBend on Saturday with the kind of swagger that only two masters of misdirection can muster.

Source Weekly: What kind of magic do you perform?

Wyatt Carrell: I like to perform visual magic that requires no smoke and mirrors, I do this because I feel that smoke and mirrors are only a way of lying to the spectators. I like modern, more casual magic that most would find “impossible” Hayden French: I perform, as a magician, mostly up-close-andpersonal magic with the occasional case where I do bigger tricks that involve having a larger crowd than normal.

SW: How and when did you become interested in illusions?

Do you have any illusionist role models?

WC: I became interested in magic around the age of 8 when I got a magic kit from one of my family members. I don’t know who because they all say they started the magic addiction.

HF: When I was about 7 or 8 years old, I was at a Christmas event with my family. There, I met a magician who was really cool. He showed me a cut and restore rope trick and a few card tricks. From there I always wanted to know how to do these things to impress others. After a year or so, I stopped because my school life—with

grades and bullies to deal with—came into play and was quite time consuming. Then, I got to high school. From there, I met a girl. I thought, at that point, that she was so amazingly awesome that I had to get back into magic to grab her attention. This is also when I met Wyatt. But after countless times of not reaching my goal of getting the girl, I decided to do magic on my own and to others to see their reactions, and I actually got really nice ones.

SW: How did you prepare for the presentation you will be giving this weekend? Are you nervous to present on the stage of such an “intellectual” conference?

WC: To tell you the truth, I didn’t do much preparation, like I said, the magic I do is more casual. I literally only spent about an hour practicing in the past four months!

HF: To prepare, I have practiced a bit with Wyatt to sharpen our performance skills. As for the crowd as a whole? No, I am not worried or nervous at all. I am used to performing things in front of others and I also find it easier to not freak out. That is the only time I mess up. Keeping my head high, my nerves calm, and a certain person on my shoulders (metaphorically), I know we will do amazing.

SW: Do you have any favorite TED Talks?

WC: I really enjoy all of them but I most appreciate Apollo Robbins’ talk on misdirection.

HF: My favorite kinds are ones with magicians in them—the magician Justin Willman and a few others. They are fun to watch.

But some of the other non-magic shows were quite interesting and made me happy to have seen them.

SW: What do you hope to impart upon or inspire in your audience with magic?

WC: I want my audience to go home and figure out how it was done. That way I know I was so important that they spent their own time on me!

HF: I hope, just as anyone else I have performed to, to leave our audience on the edge of their seats and leave the event questioning everything that we have done.

More Than Pulling Rabbits Out of Hats

BY KELSEY ROOK

These days everyone is a photographer. If you have a cellphone, chances are you are carrying around a gallery of selfies, animal portraits, and food still lifes in your pocket.

My nine-year old can snap a picture, slap on an insta-filter, and upload it to an online portfolio in less time than it takes me to put a roll of film into my camera.

But, in my view, there is a lot that separates our photographic iPhone chronicles from the work of a fine art photographer.

While some established photographers are dabbling in “iPhoneography” with impressive results—San Jose-based photojournalist Richard Hernandez comes to mind—the work of most fine art photographers remains rooted in more familiar and traditional formats. Bend is home to many such talented shutterbugs whose works are on display citywide this month.

The Central Oregon landscape begs to be photographed and photographed well.

Local photographer Mike Putnam moved here with his wife Betty in order to capture the “glacier covered mountains, alpine lakes, old growth forests, pristine rivers, and lush wildflower meadows [that] have made for amazing subject matter.” Using a large film format 4 x 5 view camera, Putnam creates vibrant photographs that capture the vivid and dazzling hues hidden within the high desert landscape. His intricately detailed prints are on display right now at Patagonia in Bend—see for yourself what the trained eye of a landscape photographer gleans from the scenery of Central Oregon from behind his “big rig” camera.

Also known for his scenic landscapes, globe-hopping cameraman Christian Heeb owns and operates the Cascade Center for Photography—that is, when he isn’t travelling the world to capture African wildlife, grimy cityscapes, and indigenous peoples on camera. While his impressive portfolio spans 25 years of his travels to over 70 different countries, his current project captures subject matter closer to home. “999 People of Central Oregon” is Heeb’s longterm photography project “showcasing the uniquely diverse, quirky, funny, serious, professional, retired, imaginative culture of Central Oregon.” The images depict Central Oregonians against a stark white studio backdrop in poses ranging from serene to sultry to silly—with a myriad of props of the model’s choosing. Heeb is the artist-in-residence at Natural Edge Furniture for the month of May; the shop will host an artist reception for the photographer on Friday, May 1 from 5-8 pm.

When young photographers turn their lens on the world, the resulting images are filtered through the perceptions and experiences of their youth. This is evident in the surrealist world of 14-year-old Lexy Potts’ exhibit “Odd and Peculiar,” on display this month at Townshends Tea House. Her imaginative work juxtaposes the strangeness and beauty the talented youngster finds around her.

“These stories and visions are the things that comfort my imagination… Welcome to my life, odd and peculiar,” said Potts.

Preserving Aspen Hollow

Deschutes Land Trust secures 58 acres along Whychus Creek

BY ERIN ROOK

PHOTO BY JOHN WILLIAMS.

The Whychus Creek area is home to a wide array of wildlife. Salmon and steelhead swim in its waters, mule deer and Rocky Mountain elk graze along its banks, and golden eagles and spotted bats fly through the skies above.

Thanks to Deschutes Land Trust and its supporters, an additional 58 acres of that habitat is now protected. On Monday, DLT announced the purchase of a swath of land the group is calling Aspen Hollow Preserve as part of its ongoing Whychus Campaign.

Launched last fall, the $15 million campaign is already a third of the way toward its financial goal, with contributions from Land Trust members, the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, the Laird Norton Family Foundation, and the Roundhouse Foundation. So far, Deschutes Land Trust has secured 2,200 acres of land around eight miles of Whychus Creek.

“Our purchase of Aspen Hollow Preserve is a great example of how the Campaign for Whychus Creek can help conserve the best of Whychus Creek,” Executive Director Brad Chalfant said in a release. “Early donors to the Campaign provided bridge funding for the project while we worked with other funders to secure final purchase funds. The availability of this bridge funding allowed us to move quickly to secure the property when the opportunity presented itself. Going forward, we expect the Campaign will continue to be critical to

BEND’S LOCAL INDEPENDENT OUTDOOR

conserving the remaining priority lands along Whychus Creek.”

Deschutes Land Trust purchased the Aspen Hollow Preserve land from the outdoor education group Wolftree, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. DLT Conservation Director Brad Nye explained that the group secured the property by a trust deed with a “significant amount” of seller financing in August 2008. When the bottom fell out of the real estate and stock markets, Wolftree’s supporters were not able to fulfill their donation pledges, leaving the group burdened with debt.

“Owning and managing properties is not a core business for Wolftree. The project was distracting them from their core business of providing education, and the seller-financed debt was a threat to the organization’s financial integrity,” Nye explained. “Wolftree eventually enlisted the Land Trust to work with the sellers to remove the trust deed lien and secure the property.

Central Oregon is so beautiful, that when looking for places to explore, I often forget to look beyond my back door. While watching reruns of OPB’s Field Guide (you have your Friday night ritual, I have mine), I was reminded of two important and remarkably lovely spots in the Northeast. It’s a six plus hour drive to get there, but well worth the trip.

Grande Ronde Overlook Wildflower Institute The intent behind this stunning 220-acre reserve near La Grande is to preserve and restore the historic plant community on site, dating back 200 years. Just fewer than 200 native plant species are present here, many of which are wildflowers, and among those a number of orchid species, guaranteeing a show from late March to mid-August. The Institute also strives to provide ecological information and hosts tours for a number of regional institutions, schools, and universities. Check out the website: growiser.net for more information, including species list, directions, and species in bloom by month.

Zumwalt Prairie Preserve Just an hour down the road from the Grande Ronde preserve is the Nature Conservancy’s 33,000-acre love letter to America’s disappearing grasslands. This time of year, in addition to bunch grasses, expect to see lupine, balslam-root, and camas. This site is rich with wildlife as well as wildflowers, raptors and song birds are common, as are butterflies, elk, black bear, coyotes, and cougar. The Nature Conservancy’s website has all the details you need to get there: nature.org

Through Tom’s Eyes

A quick shot of a now-local cinematographer’s historic career

BY PHIL BUSSE

TEENAGERS THEN, THEY’D BE THE GROWNUPS THEY FEARED NOW. THE GREATEST BREAKFAST CLUB 30TH ANNIVERSARY IN THE COUNTRY! 4/22.

Perhaps the most invisible force on film projects, but also the most critical, the cinematographer frames shots and essentially is the eyes through which audience see storylines and actors. In that regard, you have seen through Thomas Del Ruth’s eyes many times. He set up and filmed Stand By Me, including the iconic, fear-compounding scene in which four young boys traipse across a railroad trestle (in southern Oregon) as the scene compounds fear as a train presses down on the boys (a scene set up with a crazy array of camera lenses).

And, Del Ruth worked with director Aaron Sorkin on the beloved TV series West Wing, a show known for its dynamic dialogue—scripts that succeeded in large part because the kinetic camera action flowed with those fast-paced quips. But Del Ruth’s cinematography in The Breakfast Club—a movie that Bend Film and the Source Weekly are celebrating this week—creates a much different mood from those projects, and presented different challenges.

Produced at the height of director John Hughes’ fame, The Breakfast Club has proven an enduring story about teenage frustration, fears, and dreams—and Del Ruth’s artistry framed and emphasized those emotions.

On Wednesday, April 22, Del Ruth will present a Q&A with Editor Phil Busse (me!) prior to the special screening of The Breakfast Club at the Old Stone Church, 157 NW Franklin, 6:30 pm.

SW: One of the aspects about The Breakfast Club is that, in some ways, it is a film about boredom, but no one wants to watch a boring film. How did you film “boring” without being boring with your shots?

Thomas Del Ruth: Giving a sense of tediousness and isolation to the film was a collaborative process between the cinematography, the art department, and the editing. From the cinematographer’s point of view, keeping the compositions un-dynamic, and resisting the temptation to move the camera, restricted the actors to a limited space. This created a static tone and the shots appeared more languid when combined with the slow pacing of the editing. As far as the lightening is concerned, I kept a consistency with the contrast and the intensity the same throughout the library, providing no visual relief. The only theatrical

conceit I allowed myself was to put a blue neon strip between the first and second floor, which gave a sense of perspective and depth no matter which way you were shooting, and also gave a visual anchor to the actors on the set.

SW: Is there a scene in The Breakfast Club you are most proud of?

TDR: I am quite happy with the sequence in the last tenth of the film when the kids are sitting on a raised platform with the extended set in the background. It was the only time we allowed the camera to move while in the library. The collective catharsis of this youthful angst expressed by each of the characters, which ultimately bound them together, was a wonderful collaboration of camera and performance. Specifically, during Emilio Estevez’s monologue, the camera movement helped support the turbulence and stress of his life. Emilio was in the center of the frame, the dolly starts to move right to left, allowing the set behind him to move left to right, while all the time moving closer to him until we are in an extreme close up. I believe this was a powerful example of how to use the camera properly to help tell the story.

SW: After being in LA so long—born there and with parents in the “biz”—what brought you to Oregon to live?

TDR: I traveled to Oregon in 1985 for the first time, right after working on The Breakfast Club, to shoot Stand By Me in Eugene. I thought the state was quite beautiful and the people very friendly. Being born and raised in southern California, I knew that when I retired, I would be looking for a different experience. So I always kept Oregon in mind. My wife was originally from the east coast and she missed the change in seasons. When I seriously started to entertain the idea of retiring, I wanted to check out Bend. We first visited Bend in May of 2005 and bought our home the next day. We were just so taken by the charm of the park, the feel of downtown, and the great restaurants. It was a huge move for us, and I continued to work up until my last film which was in 2009 with Rob Reiner. It was a sign to me that our lives had truly come full circle. The film was called Flipped, which was suppose to be a bookend to Stand By Me. Ironically, it became the “bookend” to my career as I decided that the best location I liked traveling to after a long career was back to my home in Bend.

Add the Words A powerful film about the Add the Words movement and people that are directly affected by the State of Idaho not including sexual orientation and gender identity to the Human Rights Act. This film screened at BendFilm last year and was one of the most powerful documentary achievements in recent memory. This screening will have the filmmakers in attendance who will provide a Q&A prior to the film.

Thursday, April 16, 6 pm. Tin Pan Theater. 869 NW Tin Pan Alley. $10 Inspired to Ride A film about a race that seems like the polar opposite of every other race in the world; there is no prize money, no support vehicles, and no special treatment of any kind. This film chronicles the inaugural year of a 4,233 transcontinental race across the United States with completely unsupported racers. Part of the race also goes from the McKenzie Pass through Sisters, which links the film even closer to Central Oregon. $2 of each ticket is donated to the Central Oregon Trail Alliance. The filmmaker as well as the male and female winner of the race will be in attendance for a Q&A. Friday, April 17, 9 pm. McMenamins Old St. Francis. 700 NW Bond St. $15 Banff Mountain Film Festival The 2015 Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour comes back to Bend. Some of the films include 14.C (about a 14-year old mountain climber), Africa Fusion (climbing across South Africa), Delta Dawn (restoration along the Colorado River Delta) and Forgotten Dirt (mountain biking through the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan). The festival is co-sponsored by REALMS Charter Middle School, which sends kids on travel study programs.

Saturday, April 18, 7 pm. Tower Theater. 835 NW Wall St. $25-$30 The Breakfast Club: 30th Anniversary Screening The Breakfast Club turns 30 this year, which means it still feels 20, but now something is expected of it, and maybe it should stop bringing laundry over to mom’s with the excuse that she likes it when we really both know it’s just being lazy. There will be a pre-screening interview with Thomas Del Ruth, the cinematographer for the film, a costume contest, and multiple people complaining about how they just don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

They Shoot, He Scores

Emmy Winner Larry Groupé Shares His Secrets

BY JARED RASIC

Larry Groupé is hard to pin down. He has conducted a 60-piece orchestra for the British prog rock band Yes, he’s produced, conducted, and composed over 80 albums, won three Emmy’s and, in becoming director Rod Lurie’s composer of choice, created the score for Deterrence, a 1999 intense French-America thriller.

On Sunday, April 19, in the first-ever collaboration between BendFilm, COCC, Sunriver Music Festival, and Central Oregon Symphony, Groupé will discuss his process for film composing at COCC’s Wille Hall.

Source Weekly: Do you like having more of a structure to work towards and having the director collaborate with you intensely, or do you prefer to watch an early cut of the film and run with it from your own emotions?

Larry Groupé: I would say the latter.

Especially when I can see the script before they start to shoot anything because that is a great time to start. It can start a dialogue with the director. I like responding just from a script level about what strikes me as far as a character or a location, but I’ll often write a theme or two at that point. Then I’ll have to wait until they really do shoot something so I can see if the idea will work when I actually see a rough cut.

SW: Right.

LG: Then, if all is right, great, I’ll continue with that, or restart it and try something else at an early stage. But as far as a collaboration with a director, of course I sit

down and go over everything in an early stage. We’ll do something called a spotting session where we go “we don’t want it here,” or “maybe we want it here” and we get a list of areas where we think music should play a role. So, that’s as far as the collaboration goes from my side because I usually go back and ponder what to do about it. The better filmmakers out there are the ones that give the composer not very much direction at all.

My discussions with the director should always be about the emotional content of the project we’re doing. That’s all I care about.

That’s all the director should care about. It’s always about the emotional bottom-line.

SW: Do you find those early moments of looking at the script and seeing it through a filmmaker’s eyes the most rewarding for you, or is it waiting and seeing the final product?

LG: No, it’s the first part of that. That’s the hardest part. Each project is kind of like a puzzle and I have to find a solution to the puzzle. Once I do that (or hopefully do that), then I can build on that, like any compositional process would go. So the first part’s the most intriguing, it’s the most frustrating, it’s the part that takes the longest so I get a lot of satisfaction in thinking about what a film or a TV show needs musically.

CHAPPIE 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 reprogramed to feel human emotion. Naturally, the government fears and hates Chappie, and sets about to destroy the robot and everything it stands for. St.Francis Theater 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. Either way, this seems pointless and get the hell off my lawn. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

DANNY COLLINS Danny Collins tells the story of Danny Collins, an aging rocker played by aging actor Al Pacino. After basically giving up on the music business, Collins finds an undelivered letter to him from John Lennon, which sends him on a spiritual journey to rediscover his family, his love of music and women, and all the boring shit these movies are filled with. As long as this movie wakes Pacino up and puts some fire in his belly for acting, then it has my vote. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Even if you try to give Divergent (and its sequels) the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t just Hunger Games rip-offs, by the time you reach the end of the first book your optimism will be shredded.

While Shailene Woodley is a fine actress, the Teen Post-Apocalyptic genre hits the wall pretty hard here and flails every which way with its pat ideas about freedom, individuality, and painfully generic love. In this installment the factions start going to war and Kate Winslet cashes extra paychecks. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY The timeless saga of Christian Grey, the billionaire industrialist who likes a bit of BDSM with his orange juice, and Anastasia Steele, the working class girl who’s never had an orgasm. Just like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, or Heathcliff and Catherine, their incredible exploration of love crosses boundaries like mild torture, tons of pocket condoms, and no scat play, whatsoever. Making libraries a little dirtier since 2011. St.Francis Theater FURIOUS 7 While I wouldn’t stand up for the first four films in this franchise, Fast Five and Fast and Furious Six are both smorgasbords of explosions and jaw-dropping stunts, worthy of being mentioned alongside the best action films of the last 15 years. Furious 7 pits Paul Walker (in his final screen role), Vin Diesel, Mr. The Rock and family against a pissed off Jason Statham. Expect cars flying through the air, Mr. The Rock with a mini-gun, and Statham kicking our heroes in their faces. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Pine Theater, Redmond Theatre, Sisters Movie House

GET HARD Will Ferrell is a white collar criminal headed to San Quentin and Kevin Hart is the guy he hires to train him how to be tough for prison.

Since Hart has never been to prison and Ferrell only hires him because he’s black, I’m assuming mildly racist hijinks will ensue. With some of the writers behind the brilliant Key and Peele scripting, this could be a return to form for Ferrell and the vehicle Hart needs to show how funny he can be when not improvising.

HOME Home is the new film from DreamWorks Animation, home to How to Train Your Dragon, Kung-Fu Panda, and Shrek One through Fifty. This one tells the story of an alien (voiced by The Best Amigo Steve Martin) whose race is hiding from their mortal enemy on Earth, which they decide to invade. Obviously, wacky hijinks ensure because Jim Parsons is also part of the voice cast and that man has two modes: wacky and faux-

nerdy. If they exterminate the human race by accident, then this should be a children’s classic.

IT FOLLOWS Critically acclaimed and scary as hell, It Follows creates a new urban legend for the ages. After having sex with a near stranger, a teenage girl starts feeling like she’s always being followed by some dark and shadowy force. Even without the subtext and thematic weight, the film is still creepy and the finest horror film of the last few years. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The new film from the madcap bastard behind Layer Cake, Stardust and X-Men: First Class, Matthew Vaughn.

Kingsman has Colin Firth using a bulletproof umbrella and beating a bunch of ass while never breaking a sweat. It also has Samuel L. Jackson dressing like Jay-Z, talking with a lisp and hellbent on world domination. I mean, sure, this could be one of the worst movies ever made, but it won’t be. It will be gloriously, batshit insane. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Will the boy look good in his Wranglers while she unburdens her soul with desires of becoming the new Rothko? Who the hell cares? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Pine Theater,

Sure, it could be said I have a “sexual hair trigger”—but I see it as just one of my many superpowers. Along with my superhuman ability to know every restaurant in town that serves egg salad, and being able to talk my way out of felony charges, I am also able to become “sexually aroused” in a number of varied, unusual ways. For example, while the flick of your booty obviously drives me to erotic frenzy, I am also turned on by alligator wrestling, funny voices caused by inhaling helium, and “science.”

YES, SCIENCE. Science makes me harder than the Washington Memorial on Viagra— the problem is it gets me so excited I can barely remember any of it!

However! There is one science person who gets me more aroused than all the rest…brainiac astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. For those who get aroused by geometry instead of science, DeGrasse Tyson is the founder of the Astrophysics department at New York’s American Museum of Natural History (that’s hot!), hosted Fox’s reboot of the classic PBS science show “Cosmos,” AND was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal—which gets me so horny, I need to dump a bucket of ice down my trousers. (AAAAAAAHHH…that would feel so much better if I weren’t also aroused by ice.)

Anyway, if you are as turned on by DeGrasse Tyson as I am, then grab a new, roomier pair of underpants—because he’s getting his own new late-night, science-based, talk show! (PANT! PANT! Boinnnggg! AH-oooooh-GAH!) It’s called “Star Talk” (debuting Mon. April 20, 11 pm, National Geographic Channel), which is based on his terrific podcast of the same name. His late night gig will be performed in front of a live audience, where he’ll bring on very cool, smart people to discuss stars, space, the future, and other science-y horny-making STUFF!

For example in the debut episode, he’s welcoming Star Trek alum and gay activist George Takei to talk about how the imaginary world of Trek compares with today’s society. (Well, for one thing, the military doesn’t wear miniskirts. BOOOOOOOOO!!!)

Also Interstellar director Chris Nolan will drop by to talk about how he employs science in his movies, AND there will be regular segments featuring Bill Nye, the Science Guy—who only makes me half as horny as DeGrasse Tyson, but that’s still plenty horny!

And yet? This sure-to-be amazing talk show is only getting started. Future episodes have all kinds of interesting and unusual special guests including Arianna Huffington, former prez Jimmy Carter, Biz Stone (the co-founder of Twitter), NASA administrator Charles Bolden and astronaut Chris Hadfield, author/biologist/ smartypants Richard Dawkins, famed TV producer Norman Lear, and someone who probably knows a thing or two about horniness, sex advice guru Dan Savage!

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? That’s an insanely good lineup! And you’ll probably never have to worry about seeing other tired-ass late night guests like Gwyneth Paltrow or Justin Bieber—unless DeGrasse Tyson is conducting an experiment where they dump Paltrow and Bieber into a black hole…you know, just to see what happens. Mmmmmm…the thought of that gets me super hot.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The California

Gold Rush hit its peak between 1849 and 1855.

Three hundred thousand adventurers flocked to America’s West Coast in search of gold. In the early days, gold nuggets were lying around on the ground in plain sight, or relatively easy to find in gravel beds at the bottom of streams. But later prospectors had to work harder, developing methods to extract the gold from rocks that contained it. One way to detect the presence of the precious metal was through the use of nitric acid, which corroded any substance that wasn’t gold. The term “acid test” refers to that process.

I bring this to your attention, Aries, because it’s a good time for you to use the metaphorical version of an acid test as you ascertain whether what you have discovered is truly golden.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1909, Sergei Diaghilev founded the Ballets Russes, a Parisian ballet company that ultimately revolutionized the art form. The collaborative efforts he catalyzed were unprecedented. He drew on the talents of visual artists Picasso and Matisse, composers Stravinsky and Debussy, designer Coco Chanel, and playwright Jean Cocteau, teaming them up with top choreographers and dancers. His main goal was not primarily to entertain, but rather to excite and inspire and inflame. That’s the spirit I think you’ll thrive on in the coming weeks, Cancerian. It’s not a time for nice diversions and comfy satisfactions. Go in quest of Ballets Russes-like bouts of arousal, awakening, and delight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Don’t ever tame your demons—always keep them on a leash.” That’s a line from a song by Irish rock musician Hozier. Does it have any meaning for you? Can your personal demons somehow prove useful to you if you keep them wild but under your control? If so, how exactly might they be useful?

Could they provide you with primal energy you wouldn’t otherwise possess? Might their presence be a reminder of the fact that everyone you meet has their own demons and therefore deserves your compassion? I suspect that these are topics worthy of your consideration right now. Your relationship to your demons is ripe for transformation—possibly even a significant upgrade.

Hormones Out of Balance?

century, the entrance exam for the British Royal Navy was quite odd. Some candidates were required to write down the Lord’s Prayer, recite the multiplication table for the number three, get naked and jump over a chair, and drink a glass of sherry. I’m guessing that your own initiation or rite of passage may, at least initially, seem as puzzling or nonsensical as that one.

You might be hardpressed to understand how it is pertinent to the next chapter of your life story. And yet I suspect that you will ultimately come to the conclusion—although it may take some time—that this transition was an excellent lead-in and preparation for what’s to come.

not to censor or sanitize the raw data. So here’s the truth as I understand it: More desire is the answer to your pressing questions. Passionate intensity is the remedy for all wishy-washy wishes and anesthetized emotions. The stronger your longing, the smarter you’ll be. So if your libido is not already surging and throbbing under its own power, I suggest you get it teased and tantalized until it does.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Karelu is a word

from the Tulu language that’s spoken in South India. It refers to the marks made on human skin by clothing that’s too tight. As you know, the effect is temporary. Once the close-fitting garment is removed, the imprint will eventually disappear as the skin restores its normal shape and texture. I see the coming days as being a time when you will experience a metaphorical version of karelu, Scorpio. You will shed some form of constriction, and it may take a while for you to regain your full flexibility and smoothness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Georgia is not just an American state. It’s also a country that’s at the border of Western Asia and Eastern Europe. Many people who live there speak the Georgian language. They have a word, shemomedjamo, that refers to what happens when you love the taste of the food you’re eating so much that you continue to pile it in your mouth well past the time when you’re full. I’d like to use it as a metaphor for what I hope you won’t do in the coming days: get too much of a good thing. On the other hand, it’s perfectly fine to get just the right, healthy amount of a good thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

When you’re a driver in a car race, an essential rule in making a successful pit stop is to get back on the track as quickly as possible. Once the refueling is finished and your new tires are in place, you don’t want to be cleaning out your cup holder or checking the side-view mirror to see how you look. Do I really need to tell you this? Aren’t you usually the zodiac’s smartest competitor? I understand that you’re trying to become more skilled at the arts of relaxation, but can’t you postpone that until after this particular race is over? Remember that there’s a difference between the bad kind of stress and the good kind.

I think you actually need some of the latter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Until the early 20th century, mayonnaise was considered a luxury food, a hand-made delicacy reserved for the rich. An entrepreneur named Richard Hellman changed that. He developed an efficient system to produce and distribute the condiment at a lower cost. He put together effective advertising campaigns. The increasing availability of refrigeration helped, too, making mayonnaise a more practical food. I foresee the possibility of a comparable evolution in your own sphere, Aquarius: the transformation of a specialty item into a mainstay, or the evolution of a rare pleasure into a regular occurrence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author

Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated over 40 books for children. Midway through his career, his publisher dared him to make a new book that used no more than 50 different words. Accepting the challenge, Seuss produced Green Eggs and Ham, which went on to become the fourth best-selling English-language children’s book in history. I invite you to learn from Seuss’s efforts, Pisces. How? Take advantage of the limitations that life has given you. Be grateful for the way those limitations compel you to be efficient and precise. Use your constraints as inspiration to create a valuable addition to your life story.

Homework: When was the last time you loved yourself with consummate artfulness and grace?

Two Brokeback Girls

AMY ALKON

I’m a butch lesbian with a crush on a (supposedly) straight married lady who’s very tomboyish. She has a number of lesbian friends, and I suspect her husband is in the closet. I keep telling her she’s “culturally gay” (because she dresses “soft butch”—combat boots, cords, etc.—and because of some of her attitudes), but I actually think there’s more to it than that. She insists she’s straight but seems weirdly upset by my comments.

—Be Who You Are

Why not just say it right out: “There’s the closet. Could you please sit in there for a halfhour and come out ready to leave your husband?”

I personally find it tragic when gay people feel they have to “ungay” themselves by living straight, but respecting another person’s privacy means accepting that they get to choose which parts of their life they’ll be taking commentary on. In other words, by picketing a baker who won’t make a cake for a gay wedding, you’re exercising your free speech rights, but it’s way out of line for you to effectively picket somebody’s relationship: “We’re here! We’re queer! And guess what: So are the two of you!” And no, this isn’t justified by your creation of an updated Kinsey scale—one that measures female homosexual desire based on a woman’s choice of footwear and whether she accessorizes with a welding mask.

So, instead of trying to drag this woman (by her wallet chain) out of her marriage, turn your attention to a woman who’s single and out. Respect that for your friend, Prince Charming may very well be that dude from the Disney movies, determined as you are to recast him as a soldier of fortune crossed with a lady gym teacher.

Experiential Marketing: Activate Your Brand!

When Red Bull sent Felix Baumgartner freefalling to Earth during the 2012 Stratos campaign it wasn’t the first example of an Experiential Marketing campaign – but it is perhaps the most successful one. Eight million people watched live, tens of millions of dollars in earned media was generated, 32 million replays on YouTube were played and perhaps most importantly a 7% increase in sales of Red Bull happened during the six months directly after the event. Brands, agencies and marketers took notice and Experiential Marketing has been one of the fastest growing areas of the marketing mix over the past three years.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN

Cass Alder, 22, bought table napkins made with images of $100 bills on them, then cut out the images, glued them onto paper and tried passing one of the bogus bills at a convenience store. The clerk refused to accept it. Alder exited the store but left the bill behind. It was used in evidence against him at his trial in in Charlottestown, Prince Edward Island, where a provincial court judge sentenced him to 18 months probation. (Charlottestown’s The Guardian) Micah Hatcher, 36, was charged with auto theft after he drove a stolen vehicle into the Washington State Patrol district office parking lot in Bellevue. Hatcher had been arrested a few days earlier and came to the district office to retrieve some belongings that had been taken then. Troopers said they were alerted to the stolen vehicle by a witness who recognized it from a Facebook post and followed Hatcher to his destination. (Seattle’s KOMO-TV)

GAME OF DRONES

The world’s first university licensed to grant doctorate degrees in unmanned systems said its students can learn to fly an unmanned aerial vehicle in less than three weeks. Instruction at Arizona’s Unmanned Vehicle University consists of three phases, provost John Minor said. The first two allow students to learn at home, using a flight simulator. Phase three requires students to travel to one of the university’s flight schools around the country and work with an experienced flight instructor. The school charges students $3,500.

(The Washington Times) Military researchers plan to test whether drones can be placed on the ocean floor for an indefinite period and then be activated remotely to attack surface targets. The drone operation, named the Upward Falling Payload program, faces three challenges, according to Steven H. Walker, deputy director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which heads the project: how to remotely trigger the launch, how to get the drone to float to the surface and how to power and protect the system on the ocean floor for more than a year. (The Washington Times) Drone operators won’t need a pilot’s license, according to draft rules for commercial drones announced by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Instead, the agency proposed that drones weighing less than 55 pounds that are well maintained and checked before flight can be flown by operators who’ve passed a basic aeronautical test. The drones would have to stay below 500 feet, fly only in daylight and not over people, and remain in view of their operators at all times. Amazon said the last requirement would prevent it starting its drone-delivery service. (The Economist) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) spent $600,000 on drones but never flew them operationally because it couldn’t maneuver them correctly, according to the Department of Justice inspector general. The bureau subsequently suspended its unmanned aerial system program and disposed of all its aircraft, but less than a week later, a separate ATF unit purchased five small drones for $15,000 without consulting headquarters. (The Washington Times)

OVEREATER’S LAMENT

After John Noble, 53, shot and killed himself at a Henderson, Nev., resort buffet, authorities said he left a suicide note blaming the resort for his death by withdrawing its offer of free meals for life. The M Resort Spa Casino awarded him unlimited meals at its buffet in 2010 for being an M “biggest winner.” Three years later, it banned him from the property for harassing some of the women working there. “I was unjustifiably kicked out,” Noble insisted on a two-hour DVD of him talking about his troubles that accompanied his note. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)

NUPTIAL SECRETS

An Indian bride dumped the groom after he incorrectly answered an arithmetic problem.

Tipped off before the arranged marriage that Ram Baran was illiterate, Lovely Singh asked him to add 15 and 6. He replied 17, according to a police official in Rasoolabad, Uttar Pradesh. Father of the bride Mohar Singh said the “groom’s family had kept us in the dark about his poor education.”

(BBC News) Also in Uttar Pradesh, when the groom at a wedding in Rampur had a seizure during the ceremony and was taken to the hospital, the bride and her family learned that he was epileptic and had kept that information from them. The angry bride then asked a guest, a member of her brother-in-law’s family, to marry her instead.

He agreed. When the original groom, 25-yearold Jugal Kishore, returned from the hospital, he pleaded with the woman to change her mind, but she refused. Kishore and his family lodged a complaint, police official Ram Khiladi Solanki said, “But since the bride is already married now, what can anyone do?” (BBC News)

SECOND-AMENDMENT FOLLIES

The National Rifle Association banned working guns from its annual convention this year in Nashville, Tenn. The group will require the thousands of firearms displayed at the event to have their firing pins removed for safety. (Nashville’s The Tennessean)

NOT-POT FOLLIES

Sheriff’s deputies who stopped a vehicle in Lincoln, Neb., reported finding a 16-ounce container under the front passenger’s labeled “Not Weed.”

It held 11.4 grams of marijuana. The 21-year-old driver admitted it belonged to him and was arrested. (Lincoln Journal Star) After an assistant principal at a middle school in Bedford County, Va., found a plant leaf and a lighter in a sixth-grader’s knapsack, the boy was suspended for 364 days and charged in juvenile court with possession of marijuana. Repeated testing, however, determined that the leaf wasn’t pot. Prosecutors dropped the charge, but the school upheld the suspension, citing school policy prohibiting not only controlled substances, but also imitations. School officials ordered the boy evaluated for substance-abuse problem, which he doesn’t have. The school system also tried to reassign the 11-year-old, who had been enrolled in a gifted-and-talented program, to a program for troubled kids before allowing him to return to a regular school on strict probation. (The Roanoke Times)

HELPING HAND

The adult video site Pornhub posted a promotional video announcing it is developing a wearable device so men can generate electricity while masturbating. Dubbed “Wankband,” it straps to a user’s wrist and makes electricity when moved up and down, then stores the power, which can be retrieved by using a USB port to charge laptops, phones, cameras and tablets. “We’re going to show men how they can save the planet while doing what they do best,” the Pornhub video said.

CANNABIS CORNER

SMOKE SIGNALS Weed on Weed Action In November, when voters passed Measure 91 to legalize recreational marijuana in the state of Oregon, it was hardly expected that there would be a serious weed on weed tension. The system for allowing medical marijuana—namely, through doctors’ notes and licensed dispensaries—has been in place for almost 17 years, but as a due date for legalized recreational sale and use moves swiftly closer, questions arise about how these two systems—one for medical use, another for recreation—will fit together.

Part of the friction is that medicinal users can possess more pot than recreational users will be allowed—and also are not subject to the same stiff taxes, a difference that some potential recreational retailers have complained make an unfair business advantage.

One suggestion: Sen. Ted Ferrioli (R-John Day) has proposed legislation that would allow medical marijuana dispensaries to sell recreational pot as well—with a temporary permit—starting July 1.

But that solution isn’t making everyone happy. Some say that would be like being able to pick up a bottle of whiskey at your doctor’s office.

Either way, 11 weeks and counting, and there are still more questions than answers.
