eer week may need to rebrand itself. What started three years ago, has expanded into a 10-day melee. And, on page 33, our beer reviewer provides some suggestions about where to go, and how to survive the many events. I also encourage you to check out our “Go Here” section (page 35), which lists several beer company adventures into the outdoors.

What is also interesting about this event, and about this Memorial Day weekend, is that a pivotal summer for Bend officially kicks off this week—with estimates that the population this summer in Bend will balloon to 100,000; visitors should be on full display this weekend, with Beer Week events and also with three nights of amazing bands at Les Schwab Amphitheater (see Sound, pages 14-15).

As Bend becomes more and more a tourist town, these new dynamics will create stresses and celebrations. The thousands of additional people each weekend celebrating events like the recent Pole Pedal Paddle or the current Beer Week, can be an opportunity to rekindle and rediscover what makes this region so alluring. It can also be an opportunity to cuss and swear about lines and slow traffic.

This is a pivotal summer to see how Bend will manage becoming a tourist town—and, within that conversation, on Tuesday, Chuck Arnold announced that he will leave his post as Executive Director of the Downtown Bend Business Association. I encourage you to check out our exit interview with Arnold on page 7; for the past nine years, Arnold has been a steady force in maintaining level-heads through economic booms and busts, and his departure leaves an important position unmanned, and at a particularly “interesting” time.

IN REPLY TO “LETTER: TIME FOR OUR FOREST SERVICE TO GO SMOKELESS!” (5/6)

Forest Service doesn’t burn from spring to fall. They burn IN the spring and IN the fall.

Amazing how uneducated the public still is.

That is the fault of the [Forest Service] for sure. As for mechanically treating lands. Yes we do that as well. You cannot do this in the summer either because of the risk of starting wildfires. Don’t like smoke? Ask someone from Sisters about smoke from wildfire and whine to them about smoke in Bend in the spring and fall, you most likely will get slapped.

—Skippy

The dry forests of Central Oregon are flammable, and mechanical reduction of fuels is only a partial surrogate for the good work that fire does, a temporary abatement of wildfire at best. Where equipment cannot be used for a variety of reasons, including steep terrain and the maintenance of other resource values, such mechanical reductions of fuels are not possible and fire is the only tool available. Thinning, mastication, and removal of fuels can cost over $1,000/ acre, often requiring additional mechanical treatment in the absence of fire, whereas application of prescribed fire in dry forests east of the Cascades can cost as little as $80/ acre, and frequently produces more lasting fuels reduction than mechanical treatment alone. It is neither possible nor economically feasible to mechanically treat the entirety of the forest in place of using fire.

Challenges in managing smoke are among the primary causes of an overall lag in prescribed fire application following mechanical treatments. All federal, state, private, and non-profit organizations using fire for natural resources management must comply with the Clean Air Act, National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and ad-

While I agree with the editors that it would be great to allocate funds from the Hotel Tax for other purposes, under state law 70 percent of hotel tax revenue must be applied towards tourist related advertising or infrastructure. Currently the remaining 30 percent goes towards the city’s general fund. Why would we want to increase the TRT if there is a statutory requirement that the majority of funds go towards promoting tourism? Visit Bend is a big enough fiefdom already, thank you, and is in my view not the best use of local tax dollars. Although I’m sure the well-connected few that benefit from their patronage would feel otherwise.

—John Mundy

Bend is smack dab in the center of an ecosystem that relies on a natural fire cycle to maintain and promote forest health. To go “smokeless” would be to interrupt a natural process that took nature thousands of years to perfect. The data gathered from tree rings reveals the average fire return interval for the ponderosa pine stands like you might find out Skyliners Road is historically 8-12 years, mimicking that with the use of prescribed fire is our best approach at maintaining forest health in a controlled and manageable manner. Focusing the attention around major roads and urban areas gives fire managers and firefighters the upper hand when preventing and suppressing large scales wildfires fueled by dense forest and heavy fuel loadings (which are a direct result of heavy fire suppression in the last century). When I say large-scale fires, I refer to the intense and severe ones which threaten life and property (i.e. Two Bulls fire).

Smokey Bear is the worst thing to happen to fire dependent ecosystems in the inter mountain west, the educated fire managers know this already, but the general public is blinded by their own social and economic motives. A cultural shift needs to happen in the acceptance of the application of fire and the general public needs to come to terms with the fact that fire is here to stay and is the best tool in our tool box. All in all, people need to get the F over it. *mic drop* —Just another guy

THE BOOT NEWS

Public Spaces

Since last year, the Bend-La Pine School District has tried to find someone to purchase Troy Field, a one-acre spread of lawn downtown. Adjacent to McMenamin’s Old St. Francis and caddy-corner from City Hall, the space has long been an ad hoc public space, with pickup soccer and baseball games, and serving as an informal dog park.

The school district wisely was trying to liquidate under-used assets and potentially tap into an additional $2.5 million for its budget. In that process, though, Troy Field was vulnerable to becoming a commercial development—and downtown Bend was looking at a future with less public green space; not a scenario we’d like to see.

The City of Bend, however, may swoop in to the rescue and may be able to keep Troy Field as a public space. During budget talks last week, City Manager Eric King said that the City may be interested in structuring a purchase of the property.

Yet, ironically, at the same time that City officials are considering the purchase of Troy Field— and in the process, preserving public spaces in the downtown region—City Council is also beginning discussions about expanding so-called “exclusionary zones.”

Currently, the City of Bend allows police to “exclude” for 90 days persons accused of civil violations from specific areas downtown; the alleged violations can be as innocuous as littering, underage drinking, or simply being noisy, and, moreover, the person does not need to be convicted of the violation, just accused by a police officer. On Wednesday, City Council heard a first reading of an amendment to the ordinance that would expand the exclusionary zone, a space that was first set in place in 2010, and currently covers Drake Park and some adjacent property.

This amendement would expand the exclusionary zone tenfold. A second reading is scheduled for June 3.

There are certainly compelling reasons and desires to have an exclusionary zone—and the recommendation to City Council lists those reasons. It is a means to reduce crime—especially with chronic offenders—and it is an opportunity for more civility downtown.

Interestingly, though, in the report to City Council from City staff recommending the expansion, under the heading of “cons” only one word is listed: “None.”

That is disingenuous.

While we certainly agree that police should have tools to maintain safety and civility, there are distinct concerns about exclusionary zone, and City Council would be wise to consider those.

Cities like Portland have struggled with the constitutionality for such exclusionary zones, and waived them a decade ago. Moreover, there are philosophical underpinnings of allowing some people, and not others, into downtown.

In his exit interview with the Source, Downtown Bend Business Association Executive Director Chuck Arnold expressed his support for expanding the exclusionary zone, but did so with certain, reasonable caveats.

“The important thing, what we need to come together with as a community is—we want to welcome everyone, we absolutely do, but we don’t welcome every behavior and it’s a question of what behaviors we want to tolerate in our community,” he said. “When someone who’s dealing with mental health issues or is just otherwise frustrated or mad at the world today is yelling obscenities at children, I think that’s not the community we want in our downtown. Do we not want that person? That’s absolutely not the point. The point of the exclusion is to mitigate criminal activity and say we will not tolerate certain behaviors. It’s not to choose who we want downtown, it’s much more about what behaviors we want in our community.”

This proposal to expand the exclusionary zone from its current jurisdiction over Drake Park to just about all of downtown should not be a slam dunk. City Council should recognize that there are, indeed, “cons” to exclusionary zones—such as, crime doesn’t just disappear because it is out of sight of downtown; like squeezing a balloon, those problems don’t go away, but simply will bulge out elsewhere in the city. And then what? How far will the exclusionary zone expand?

And, if experiences in other cities are indicative, exclusionary zones can be misused to sweep away “undesirables,” a term that can be dangerously broad and arbitrary.

Yes, we want a downtown that is safe and civil, but we also want to make sure that our public spaces remain open to the public.

Leading by Example

Downtown Association’s Chuck Arnold leaves a legacy

SIDE NOTES

BY ERIN ROOK

In the growing trend of big water users giving back to water-related causes, Deschutes Brewery and Columbia Distributing recently donated $16,600 from last month’s Beer Machines Party in Portland to Salmon-Safe, a nonprofit focused on restoring salmon watersheds in the Pacific Northwest.

But it’s not the first time Deschutes has shown up for salmon. It was the first brewer to use hops that are Salmon-Safe certified, meaning that the hops were grown on a farm certified by the nonprofit as using organic practices and biologically-based pest management—and therefore, better for salmon habitats. The donation should help more hop growers transition to salmon-friendly operations.

AFTER NINE YEARS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TO BUILD UP BEND’S DOWNTOWN, CHUCK ARNOLD HAS ACCEPTED AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POSITION WITH THE CITY OF REDMOND. PHOTO BY ERIN ROOK.

Walking down Franklin Avenue toward Drake Park, Chuck Arnold stops mid-stroll to pick up a scrap of paper littering the sidewalk. Affable, with an easy smile and a good-naturedly goofy sense of humor, Arnold has spent much of his nine years as executive director of the Downtown Bend Business Association tending to these easily forgotten details.

“I think anybody that’s involved in small, local business has to have an entrepreneurial spirit,” he explains. “You really need to be able to roll up your sleeves, no task too small, nothing beneath you.”

Arnold says that delegation is important too—he isn’t personally collecting all of the rubbish in downtown Bend—but he sees his commitment to taking care of the little things as a point of leadership.

“It takes all of us to own downtown, and it belongs to all of us, so we have to step up and take care of it,” he says. “So I’m leading by example in that regard.”

And Arnold’s leadership has not gone unnoticed.

He was recently recruited by the City of Redmond, and announced Tuesday he will leave the DBBA in July for a new job as that city’s economic development and urban renewal coordinator. With the new position will come a broader range of responsibilities—including such economic drivers as the airport and fairgrounds, as well as downtown—and a budget many times larger.

Not that he needs it. Arnold knows a thing or two about getting by in tight times, and finding the resources he needs to get the job done.

Just eight months into the job at the DBBA, a lawsuit filed before his arrival caused the association to lose its Economic Improvement District status—and most of its funding.

“That dropped us in January of 2007 to basically a $30,000 budget. I was figuring I’d probably have to start looking for another job,” Arnold recalls. “But instead, I invited the people who brought the lawsuit to the table and said, ‘How would this look if you were doing it?’”

Their primary concern: no one had ever asked for their input.

By sitting down with stakeholders and listening to their concerns, Arnold was able to enough business and property owners on board to organize a new assessment district. Since then, that assessment district has been renewed three subsequent times, most recently passing with 100 percent approval—an impressive buy-in for a taxing district.

“That’s important because that basically shows that as an association we’ve had the ability to unify people behind this idea, this scope of work, and getting things done,” Arnold explains.

That scope of work includes everything from hand painting over graffiti and hanging flower baskets to coordinating large-scale events that bring thousands of people (and hundreds of dogs) to downtown, such as the Cascade Cycling Classic and Oktoberfest.

One of the most popular downtown events, the First Friday Art Walk, has seen strong growth under his leadership, going from a less-than-monthly affair to a “not-to-be-missed” event that Arnold says many retailers call “rent night” because it quite literally enables them to pay their rent.

But it’s not those big to-dos that have presented the biggest challenge for Arnold and the association—which includes two part-time staff members. Rather, the less sexy behind-the-scenes work of maintaining downtown—whether manually or through lobbying city and other leaders for support and funds—is the hardest part.

But it’s also one of the most meaningful.

“I think that one of the bigger challenges is finding a way to make sure that the City keeps its focus on keeping downtown vibrant,” he explains. “Striking that balance with the City, to make sure there are appropriate resources to maintain what the entire community is invested in, has been one of the biggest challenges, and nothing I wouldn’t say with the City sitting right here. We have a very open dialogue.”

And he’s found ways to get the work done, regardless of resources. His list of accomplishments includes increasing the association’s budget nearly ten-fold, from that woeful $30,000 to $279,000; bringing and sustaining landmarks including the flowers, banners, decorative skis, and bike racks; and personally working to fill vacancies to keep the downtown occupancy rate above 92 percent for the past five years.

“Keeping downtown well-maintained and watching out for some of the infrastructure—everything from street lamps to pavers to whatever—is really a response to the broken window theory,” Arnold explains. “When urban renewal districts come in they work on projects, building something or creating something. The idea of making sure that something is then maintained in perpetuity is a big, big animal.”

It’s a job that requires a special combination of skills, and Arnold says he’s hoping the upcoming national search will turn up a strong candidate. That’s part of why he’s sticking around through June, to ease the transition. It’s also a tough job to walk away from.

The anticipation of what’s to come feels a bit like awaiting the start of a new school year in a new city, he says, with its characteristic mix of excitement and anxiety.

“I do feel very invested,” he admits, particularly with big projects like the proposed Mirror Pond-affiliated downtown redevelopment project still in flux. “It is with some sadness that I leave.”

Still, downtown is a second home to Arnold, and since he and his family will continue to live in Bend, chances are good locals will still be able to spot the friendly face doing his part to keep downtown vibrant.

Two seats are opening up on the Deschutes County Planning Commission this July, one in Bend and one at-large, and the County’s interview committee—Deschutes County Commission Chair Tony DeBone, Planning Commissioner Christen Brown, and Community Development Director Nick Lelack—is currently reviewing applications and conducting interviews. The applicants include: Jared Black (Bend Area or At-Large), James Burton (At-Large), Mark Capell (Bend-Area or At-Large), Sherman Dale Crawford (At-Large), Lindsey Hopper (Bend Area or At-Large), Dr. Leslie Hudson (At-Large), Jerry Johnson (At-Large), Maggie Kirby (At-Large or Bend Area), Gary Meyer (At-Large), Jeff Perrault (Bend Area or At-Large), Kenna Sneed (At-Large), Broc Stenman (Bend Area or AtLarge), and Richard Zabel (At-Large).

Lelack says he expects the committee to make a recommendation to the Board by the first week of June, with appointments to follow in early to mid-June.

With only one out of ten registered voters in Bend submitting ballots, it hardly seems like an overwhelming mandate; yet within those voters, the number favoring change at Bend Park and Recreation board was quite strong, with nearly 50 percent favoring challenger Brady Fuller, and unseating current member Dan Fishkin, who only pulled one-quarter of voters. Also at presstime, the race for COCC Director Zone 5 was separated by only 135 votes, with John Mundy leading. Seriously, only 9.75 percent of you voted?

It’s Getting Hotter Here Fire season is about to start again, and it is only more threatening

BY PHIL BUSSE AND PHOTO BY COLE DAVIS

It is still unknown whether the two fires that sparked a massive forest fire just west of Bend were set intentionally or accidentally, but a year ago, fueled by dry wood, those two small fires quickly spread and eventually combined as the Two Bulls Fire.

For a week, flames raced over 7,000 acres—a space equivalent to the zone encompassing the Old Mill District over to The Lot, throughout downtown and across to Pilot Butte—and reaching nearly 100 feet tall, a height taller than the Franklin Crossing Building downtown.

On the western reaches of the city, some 250 residents were evacuated and hundreds of others considered if they, too, should get up and go. One homeowner recently reccounted how her family gathered up their photo albums and bicycles—the things that mattered—and moved those valuables to a friend’s house further east.

Ultimately, the Two Bulls fire did not burn down any houses, but it did move within seven miles of city limits, an easy bike ride away or a distance that a fast moving fire could cover in an afternoon.

Most experts and Forest Service agents agree that such scenes are likely to become more common in the upcoming years, and this summer, in particular, poses incredibly high risks for fires burning into cities like Bend.

It is what is known as a perfect storm—a confluence of multiple threats, each menacing enough on its own, but more than doubly bad when combined. According to presentations

by John Saltenberger for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, which reports to the Forest Service, the outlook for fires this coming summer is dire.

The general rule of thumb is than a single degree increase in average summer temperatures has a corresponding jump in 400 additional forest fires each year, and it is expected that average temperatures in Oregon will continue to rise by roughly 2 degrees by 2030, and 5 degrees by 2050. Already, the number of wildfires burning each year in the state has almost reached 2,000—with the so-called fire season stretching an additional two months since the 1970s, roughly from late May into early October. If predictions are correct, the number of fires could reach 3,000 annually by 2030. Coupled with snow packs this past winter measuring just a fraction what they have been, and a high probability of increased lightning strikes in June, due to El Nino’s impacts, Saltenberger predicts that forest fires this summer will be “well above average.”

During the summer months, Central Oregon is a tinderbox dry landscape, with acres unmonitored from camp fires and lightning strikes. What makes the region more vulnerable to forest fires is that hundreds of private residential homes sit adjacent to massive tracts of federal land.

“According to the Forest Service, 50 to 90 percent of the firefighting costs go towards defending homes,” explains Headwaters Economics Executive Director Ray Rasker. A study published two years ago by Headwaters Economics pointed out that trends in home building are heading in a dangerous direction. The data collected for the study considered home building in 19 Oregon counties in zones they termed WUI—or, within “wildland-urban interface” areas. These are the highest risk areas—the ones closest to forests and, as such, the

ones that require the most protection when fires break out. The trends are counterintuitive: Since 1990, the number of homes destroyed by forest fires has tripled, yet the number of homes being sited in proximity of danger has steadily increased and, even more specifically, within the range of the Two Bulls Fire, a middle school had been proposed on the city’s far west side.

“I think it’s a weak straw man for anyone to say ‘stop development,’” contends Rasker.

“That will never happen. But we can certainly build safer. Local governments have the authority and responsibility to require—as a pre-condition for subdivision approval—requirements to make the land safe from wildfires through ideas like fuel breaks and landscape treatments to reduce fuel loads. Local governments should also reward developers who do the right thing.”

Moreover, these vulnerabilities are set within a larger federal framework. According to a 2013 Forest Service study, wildfires in the western states are expected to double by 2050.

This is particularly bad news in terms of what funding is currently available to fight and prevent forest fires.

In the ’90s, the average annual cost for fire fighting and prevention was almost $1 billion.

Since 2002, that number has swelled to $3 billion, according to the General Accounting Office, with half going to protect private homes.

To support those increased costs, the federal government has been robbing Peter to pay to protect Paul’s house; that is, with increasing frequency, federal agencies have been pulling fire fighting funds from fire prevention accounts, not to mention pulling funds from accounts for maintaining trails and campgrounds.

For the past several years, a collection of U.S. Senators from western states have been lobbying to remedy this unsustainable funding system. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, (chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee) along with Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, have been at the forefront of an effort to overhaul the funding system so that it operates more like the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA).

“This is about as common-sense as it gets,” explained Sen. Wyden a year ago when he was urging President Barack Obama to adopt the changes. “Congress needs to fund the biggest, most catastrophic wildfires like the natural disasters they are, and free up funding to break the destructive cycle that underfunds fire prevention and shorts fire management.” He added, “This bill ends that cycle, puts money back into prevention, and provides the resources agencies need to effectively protect rural communities and forests.”

But that solution has yet to happen, and when Sen. Jeff Merkley stopped by the Source office a month ago, he explained that there has been resistance from states in the Midwest and southern flood zones and tornado regions, who worry that funding for forest fires will threaten funding for their natural disasters.

On Thursday, May 21, Ray Rasker will speak about “Planning for Wildfires and Development, Inflammatory Economics,” at City Club of Central Oregon monthly forum.

SOUND

The Essential Jenny Lewis

Or why you should go early to see Ryan Adams’ opener

THE SOURCE

SUGGESTS...

BY ANNE PICK

BY ANNE PICK

When I start talking about my love for Jenny Lewis, some of my lesser musically inclined friends say, “Oh, that girl from Troop Beverly Hills?” While, yes, the creative storyteller did get her start as a child star, she’s gone on to make a huge impact on indie rock and folk music. From her days fronting Rilo Kiley, to contributing vocals on the The Postal Service album, to dueting with her boyfriend in Jenny and Johnny, to a prominent solo career; Jenny Lewis alone makes the price of your ticket Saturday night totally worth it.

I present six essential Jenny Lewis songs, which span her musical career.

“The Frug,” Rilo Kiley, The Initial Friend E.P., 1999 I initially downloaded this song illegally on Limewire way back.

It reappeared on Rilo Kiley’s B-sides and rarities compilation album RKives in 2013. The Initial Friend E.P., where it first debuted, went through three pressings and on the third got it’s final name. “The Frug” harkens back to Lewis’ Troop Beverly Hills days when she learned how to do The Frug and The Freddie, but also acts as an anthem for cautious single girls everywhere.

“Nothing Better,” The Postal Service, Give Up, 2003 I won’t lie, I have an unhealthy obsession with The Postal Service.

While “Clark Gable” always held top spot in my heart, after seeing Lewis perform “Nothing Better” with Ben Gibbard and crew as part of The Postal Service’s 10 year anniversary tour in 2013, I had a new favorite.

“Don’t you feed me lines about some idealistic future. Your heart won’t heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures,” the songstress retorts to Gibbard’s mistaken memories of a relationship gone awry.

“Portions For Foxes,” Rilo Kiley, More Adventurous, 2004 I recently read a Digg article called, “What Would Jenny Lewis Play at Her Dinner Party?” where she states that she always saves track number three on her albums for the song that feels most relevant lyrically to her at the time. “Portions For Foxes,” the lead single and third track on More Adventurous fills this role.

One of the primary reasons for my love affair with Lewis comes from her lyrics. The incredible songwriter touches on the feelings and emotions of the “every girl.” On “Portions For Foxes,” she recounts a familiar feeling, no matter your age, gender, or sexual orientation—being with someone who’s bad news.

“I know I’m alone if I’m with or without you, but just being around you offers me another form of relief.”

“Rise Up With Fists!!,” Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins, Rabbit Fur Coat, 2006 Certain songs just stick with a person. I’ve included, “Rise Up With Fists!!” on a hundred different playlists since I heard it for the first time nine years ago. Lewis challenges all of us to rise up from the hypocrisy that leads our actions throughout this life.

“It’s hard to believe your prophets / When they’re asking you to change things / With their suspect lives, we look the other way / Are you really that pure, sir? / Thought I saw you in Vegas / It was not pretty, but she was (not your wife).”

“Big Wave,” Jenny and Johnny, I’m Having Fun Now, 2010 One element that’s noticeable about Lewis’ music, be it with Rilo Kiley, Jenny and Johnny, or solo, she matches upbeat music with somewhat sad or disheartened lyrics. The juxtaposition between the two creates mixed emotions for the listener, which is likely how she feels in her writing. “Big Wave” has a beachy, surf rock feel, but the lyrics get darkly political discussing the American dream and how in order to achieve that we live outside of our means.

“Late Bloomer,” Jenny Lewis, The Voyager, 2014 Choosing an essential song from The Voyager proved difficult, as it’s an all around solid album. The songwriting and the diversity in

Voodoo Highway Locals recognize Voodoo Highway vocalist Stacie Johnson from her other gig as the leader of Broken Down Guitars. She brings her rich, layered vocals to Voodoo Highway’s edgy, rock sound, creating a vibrant dynamic. Guitarist and vocalist David Miller has also been around the local Bend music scene as a member of Kleverkill. While the band has a decidedly rock sound, they also integrate funk, soul, blues, country, and jam-band influences into their songs.

Get ready to rock out with Voodoo Highway. 5:30-8:30 pm. Friday, May 22. McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 NW Bond St. No cover.

musical sound from song to song all work together to create a cohesive album. While the video for “Just One of the Guys” is an absolute must-watch, “Late Bloomer” demonstrates Lewis’ abilities as a seasoned storyteller. It reminds me of “Smoke Detector” from Rilo Kiley’s Under the Blacklight album with it’s risque themes and complete honesty. It’s not every day you hear an indie rock song about the female perspective of a threesome with an older girl and the dude that wrote her favorite song.

When I saw Lewis live at The Wiltern in Los Angeles last August I walked out stunned. She played a career spanning set and, while she won’t be headlining in Bend, we can hope the talented singer-songwriter does the same here.

Double-Threats

SCAN THE QR CODE

Lots of musicians publish tell-all memoirs. Some tell a little more than others, like The Dirt, the collective autobiography of Motley Crue, which is a thrilling, though somewhat tawdry read. But those books are often written by ghostwriters, not the artists themselves. I recently found a copy of Woody Guthrie’s lost novel, which he wrote in 1947, but publishers only bothered with come 2013.

And though it’s rarer to publish a novel instead of a memoir, he’s not the only songwriter that made the leap to literary fiction. Artists like Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Ben Weasel, Dr. Frank, Nick Cave, and Richard Hell have all published novels as well. Sounds like a mixtape to me.

The Crockett Sisters Dual harmonies? A fierce fiddler? Sisters who aren’t really sisters at all, but actually just best friends? Sold. The Crockett Sisters, made up of Juli Crockett, Lisa Dee, and Andrea Baker, deliver an incredible performance of songs old and new. The harmonies of Crockett and Dee blend together beautifully and inspire memories of times gone by where music was created on porches and pleasantly shared with neighbors. The trio plays a blend of country, jazz, folk, bluegrass, and rock as part of Central Oregon Beer Week. 5-9 pm. Sunday, May 24. Worthy Brewing Co, 495 NE Bellevue Dr. No cover.

Betty and the Boy Contrary to what you might assume from their name, Betty and the Boy is actually a quintet and not a duo. The band’s string-laden, melodramatic melodies often earn them classification in the genres of folk, bluegrass, or minimalistic rock. With a ghostly feel and often down tempo melodies, the minimalist persona could be fitting, but on songs like “Poppies,” you can hear the multiple layers that defeat the stark classifications. Betty’s soulful harmonies paired with Josh Harvey’s masculine vocals create a unique and intriguing sound that doesn’t disappoint listeners. 7 pm.

SOUND

Of This Time, Of That Place The punk rockabilly of JD McPherson

BY PHIL BUSSE

JD McPherson may not be a household name yet, but his music is eminently familiar.

In one guitar power chord of, oh say, “Fire Bug” or “North Side Gal”—probably the closest that the Oklahoma-born-and-bred musician has to hit singles—it sounds distinctly from one specific time and place in musical history—like Buddy Holly or Little Richard—but then, at the next drum roll and clinking piano chords and big noted guitar solos, the music sounds so much more cheeky—like the bumble-gum punk-pop of the Ramones or early ’70s London, like Ziggy Stardust David Bowie or T-Rex. “I primarily see myself as a rock-and-roll fan,” explains McPherson. “I’m really into the early impressions of rock-and-roll; raw, primitive, visceral, yet fixing into something sophisticated.”

A week before his first show in Bend, we are talking on the phone while McPherson waits for a tow truck to take away his broken rental car. “Sorry, if I’m distracted,” he tells me, with a voice far softened from his growling singing voice; he punctuates many of his sentences with an easy three-note laugh.

He goes on to excitedly explain the varied constellation of influences he has pulled into his music—T.Rex, Buddy Holly, the swampy Delta blues, “and, Led Zeppelin,” he adds, “who doesn’t like Led Zeppelin?”

“I like the contrasts between high brow and low brow,” he continues.

Five years ago, at age 33, McPherson released his first album, Signs and Signifiers. The title song is a stripped down number with a booming drum backbeat and crooning that borders on chanting before melting into oohs and aahs, a song that feels as if its slow pulsing pace is being held back by hands tight on the reins. Other songs on the album, like “North Side Girl”—an peppy lament, with lines like “she gets colder every time I try to hold her,” horns on the up-beat, drum rolls, and big-note guitar solos—and “Fire Bug”—which starts with plunking ragtime piano keys—are simply just unbridled enthusiasm.

But although energy leaps out of the songs from that first album, its was a slow burner in terms of commercial success, kicking around public radio stations and picking up fans one by one at small clubs. In 2012, though, the album was picked up by a bigger label and, since

then, McPherson has been consistently playing to bigger audiences.

On Monday, McPherson will open for Robert Plant for the first time.

Decemberists, Just “Normal” Oregonians Heck, Colin even watches the Trailblazers now!

BY ERIC SKELTON

In February 2011, The Decemberists’ sixth studio album The King Is Dead debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, crowning a familiar list of pop darlings including Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. It was a rare moment that saw a band that’s never been afraid to be themselves (no matter how theatrical or nerdy that may be) be rewarded with mainstream success—and, leaving many to wonder how a quirky folk group from Portland would cope with that.

How indeed? After returning home from that album’s tour, all five members took a step back and explored other creative pursuits. Lead singer Colin Meloy retreated to his farm south of Portland to work on Wildwood, a successful series of children’s mildly dark fantasy novels he works on with his wife, while the rest of the band stayed busy with side projects, including local favorites Black Prairie and Eyelids. Perhaps most importantly, they allowed themselves to slow down, focus on raising families, and living as normal lives as possible.

“We all have other musical projects, but I think we’ve also just been sort of living,” says guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Chris Funk. “Just doing what one does as a normal Oregonian.”

Once they did get back to work on the follow-up, What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, they did so with a decidedly relaxed state of mind free of any unrealistic attempts to match previous commercial success.

“It took us a year and a half to make this record and we made it slowly over that year and a half,” Funk explains. “It didn’t feel like we were making a record all the time. It felt like we were just kind of going to the studio and hanging out.” He adds, “We’ve never pressured ourselves to deliver much of anything except for a record that we like, but our headspace was really relaxed without a deadline in mind or anything like that. It was pretty chill.”

What came out of those sessions was an upbeat set of songs that builds on the bright accessible nature of The King Is Dead, while incorporating bits and pieces from all over the group’s catalog. Over sunny acoustic guitars, bouncy piano, and dramatic strings, Meloy’s distinctive vocals take center stage and urge you to sing along. It’s a warm, inviting record begging to be played around summer campfires and whatever else “normal Oregonians” do this time of year.

“I listen to this record and I can kind of hear every era of the Decemberists on it. Not to say it’s like a ‘Greatest Hits’ or anything, but it points to all these different periods of the band where certain influences crept in,” Funk notes. “A lot of it is just us being who we are as this amalgamation over the years and not really having a specific direction except just to play.”

Fitting for an album with a title like What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, the lyrical themes range from cunnilingus to the Newtown massacre, and include in-

sights into the conflicting emotions of balancing of the joys of fatherhood with the guilt of “bringing your children into a world that’s unfit for children in some degree, through things like people walking into schools and massacring children,” as Funk bluntly puts it.

While the mythology surrounding any group that crosses over to mainstream success tends to take on a life of its own, in the case of The Decemberists—it’s all mostly true. They’re not hiding anything.

“I think there’s a stereotype of the band that we’re theatrical and bookish—and I think those are pretty true. We have backgrounds in theater and everybody reads a lot. The ‘Portland’ stereotype fits too. So what would surprise people?” Funk chuckles, “Colin likes the Trailblazers now.”

Longtime fans of the Portland quartet should be happy to see the group relatively untarnished by—but entirely grateful for—all of the exposure they’ve seen over the years.

“We don’t really talk about it, but I think everyone’s proud of our accomplishments as a group. It’s an honor to do this and we don’t take that lightly,” says Funk. “Last weekend we played the Greek Theatre in Berkley in front of 9,000 people.

It’s just crazy to see the band still growing and that happening with the only effort being Colin writing good songs and us making sure they’re recorded and served well. We’re in a really fortunate position.”

WHATEVER, MOM

Maternal Adaptation

BY TAYLOR THOMPSON

Adaptive.

I can’t think of a better word to describe a mother’s role.

From the time her belly starts to show to the day her child leaves the nest, a mother is constantly adjusting to new conditions— always molding to her (and her little one’s) environment.

Take the attachment theory, for example. For those first few years after the cord is cut (that initial physical separation), we moms typically remain the closest in proximity, keeping our attention and energy focused on the precious little lives we just created. We are their primary safety nets, their go-to comfort zones, and sometimes the only ones allowed in at all.

“Maternal availability is particularly important within the first two years of life,” said the late child development psychologist John Bowlby, who was widely recognized for his ground-breaking work in attachment theory. “Even [experiences of separation] as brief as a few hours in duration can result in distress.”

But as the kiddos begin to learn more about mama as a person (and not just as a baby-doting slave), the crying, skirt-pulling, separation-anxiety-every-time-MomINDIE ROCK BAND SPOON WILL PLAY THEIR RICH SOUND ALONGSIDE THE DECEMBERISTS AT LES SCHWAB AMPHITHEATER, 5/22.

Tech Expert for Short-Term Sharepoint Project Heart of Oregon Corps is seeking a Microsoft SharePoint savvy individual who would be willing to volunteer their time to help us set up, utilize, and maintain a SharePoint Team Site. The agency is spread across five separate sites in Central Oregon and rapidly growing in numbers. As we grow we must become more efficient for simple tasks such as sharing and updating our cross-agency calendar, collaborating on important documents, and general communication across our programs and sites. This will allow the staff more time to focus on our mission and the youth we serve. Mondays-Fridays, 8am-3pm. Heart of Oregon Corps, PO Box 279. 541-633-7834.

Trail Crew Support Volunteer Heart of Oregon Corps is looking for a few volunteers interested in spending time with our crews as they work on projects around Central Oregon. The dream team of volunteers would have a natural history educator, a writer/journalist, a photographer, a local historian, etc.

We believe that everyone has something to offer, even if it’s simply lopper skills. So, come on out and see what we are about! Mondays-Thursdays. Through June 25.

leaves-the-room behavior begins to lessen.

“By the third or fourth year of life,” Bowlby noted, “the child increasingly understands that his or her mother has motives and plans of her own, and their relationship develops into a ‘goal-corrected partnership.’”

Suddenly, the physical distance isn’t so feared anymore; thus, we must begin to let go—a little more each day.

“I can do it,” my five-year-old son frequently reminds me these days. “I don’t need any help, Mom.” It’s an enthusiasm for independence— perhaps a bit similar to that skateboard he’s been riding so much lately (at speeds faster than I care to watch). And as his newfound freedom shines more and more each day, I continue to move a little further to the back of the bus.

Who Moved My Cheese? has now become the story of my life. But personally, I find the changes to be quite exhilarating.

Besides, he still turns to me for certain amounts of love, comfort, and protection (and the occasional “Mom, I actually do need your help”). For now, anyway.

Like Bowlby said—the attachment process is necessary for survival, and a mother’s responsiveness is crucial. But yes, there will come a day when, much like the clothes in my son’s closet, that need for maternal proximity is outgrown. There will come a day when the bedroom door is slammed in my face. And there will come a day when my son’s independence actually translates to “I’m way too cool for you, Mom, and I have my own life now.”

But it’s okay; I’ll adapt. Because that’s what moms do.

True West presents sibling tension with dynamic acting

BY PHIL BUSSE

PHOTO BY MATTHEW GRIMES.

In 1980, Sam Shepard debuted True West in San Francisco. Although probably not apparent to him at the time, this was the sweet spot of his career: A year earlier, he had won the Pulitzer Prize for Buried Child, a stage production that catapulted the young playwright into fame; and, in 1983, three years after the debut of True West, Shepard proved he not only understood how to plot out a story and its dialogue, but also had the chops to act, as he was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of the renegade pilot Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff.

True West loosely serves as the final installment of a trilogy about the dissolution of the American family and the disillusionment of the American dream; Buried Child, his Pulitzer Prize-winning production is the second entry in that lineup. Although some of the immediate themes that were so pertinent at the end of the ’70s aren’t as spot on 35 years later, certainly the tension between siblings—two brothers, Austin and Lee, who serve as the play’s centerpiece—are equally keen in 2015.

Right from the opening lines, the two brothers circle each other like prizefighters, jabbing and nipping at each other, looking for weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Austin (played by Derek Sitter, who owns Volcanic Theater) serves as the grounded one. We learn that he has attended an Ivy League school and is some sort of minorly successful screenwriter. He is housesitting for his mother while she travels to Alaska. The setting is minimal—the 1950s suburban California home where Austin grew up (we are left to assume that the brothers were estranged during a divorce)—and this single stage setting creates both the claustrophobia of a pressure cooker between the brothers, as well as an uncomfortable intimacy with the audience. The other brother, Lee (played by Wayne Newcome) is the opposite of his brother, restless, complaining about the crickets outside, and taunting his brother with inane questions.

For the first series of short scenes that make up act one, the two exchange lines, baiting each other with accusations and then retreating to banalities; Austin’s fragile calm set against Lee’s simmering anger.

When Shepard released the play that sort of dialogue—conversations happening on multiple channels and with layers of various emotions—was novel, but it is fairly standard fare these days (see: any Aaron Sorkin movie or TV show). But what makes the script from 1980 not seem stale or as out-of-fashion as a Billy Joel song, is the acting. Wayne Newcome, who plays Lee, is at moments cruelly taunting his brother and then flipping to self-loathing. He is a delightfully menacing presence, and the dialogue slowly hands out clues about the brothers’ relationships, family lives, and history.

Act one is a true treat to watch—wonderful dialogue handled artfully by two dynamic actors. Act two, not so much. The slow burner of tension that was captivating for the first half of the play explodes into outright anger, and the foremost causality is that delicate balance in the dialogue between sad and comic, and the characters’ tension between the sibling resentment and love.

Without any spoilers, act two reverses roles for the brothers, as Austin, the successful writer, loses his composure; what were small cracks in his demeanor in act one are now boiling cauldrons of hatred. And, Lee has settled into a newfound confidence. Both actors manage the role reversal well, yet act two is far less compelling than the first half of the play as the brothers hurl toward a fairly predictable and loud conclusion and the final stretch of the play sheds any of its reservations that made the buildup so captivating.

That said, True West is, taken as a whole and within its context of a new mission for Volcanic Theater, a vital addition to the expanding theater scene in Bend—for its choice of smartly written plays, and for attracting and presenting top notch acting.

THAT’S NO GOAT WITH GOAT RANCHER ANN SNYDER. PHOTO BY BING BINGHAM. Moroccan barbecued goat, grilled goat sirloin kebab, and braised goat au jus are just some of the ruminant delights offered at the Meet Your Farmer Dinner hosted by Joolz Restaurant and White Diamond Ranch this Thursday.

Organized by Central Oregon Locavore, the Meet Your Farmer Dinner Series partners local farms and chefs to create a gourmet meal and a one-of-a-kind dining experience. The multi-course meal highlights the talents of the chef and the product of the farmer—in this week’s case, Lebanese-American chef Ramsey Hamden and goat from local rancher Ann Snyder who runs White Diamond Ranch.

Though goat does not show up often on the Joolz menu, it is the most widely consumed meat in the world, and a familiar protein to the Lebanese-rooted chef.

“It is the ultimate sustainable protein,” says Nicolle Timm, founder of Central Oregon Locavore and Meet Your Farmer Dinner coordinator. “Goats can live off almost any plant, very little water, and in a variety of climates.”

Like previous national campaigns to promote a specific meat—like the popular “the other white meat” for pork in the late ’80s and throughout the ’90s—the “No Goat Left Behind” campaign was started by Heritage Food USA four years ago to bring awareness to the sustainability of goat meat and promote the delicious protein in more American cuisine.

“Many people believe that goat is gamey, greasy, and not very palatable,” says Timm.

“This is entirely untrue. They can be delicious, especially the goats that White Diamond raises. They are meat goats bred and raised to be tender, nutritious, and delicately flavored.”

Located in Ashwood between the Deschutes and John Day rivers, White Diamond Ranch lies on an old homestead in an Oregon ghost town about 20 miles northeast of Madras.

There, Snyder raises predominantly Dorper sheep, a meat breed developed in South Africa that fair well on range grass and do not require shearing. She also raises a goat variety that is a mix of Kiko, Spanish, and Boer that also do well on range grass. Her ranching philosophy is to raise the best possible sheep and goats in a sustainable manner. She utilizes all parts of the animal (including the wool), raises breeds that do well on dryland range, and raises them hormone and antibiotic-free.

“It is important for people to attend these dinners because they really do get a chance to meet their farmer, hear their story, know their history, and see the incredible amount of work and tenacity that goes into creating our local food source,” says Timm. “Those who attend the dinners can see and feel the emotion as well, and their passion for local food is often ignited or rekindled.”

Not to alarm you, but in addition to everything else taking place over Memorial Day weekend, Central Oregon Beer Week kicks off on Friday and proceeds for the next week-plus. A 10-day beer week? Well, why not? (And, if you actually attempt to hit up all the events taking place across the region’s breweries and bars, you’ll have trouble counting the number of days in a week as well.)

“There is a lot going on this year,” said Carlos Perez, part of the group organizing the fourth annual COBW. “I’m definitely looking forward to all the events once again, but I’ll be sure not to miss this year’s SMaSH Fest at the back end of McMenamins Old St. Francis School. You could enjoy yourself at any one of the Beer Geek Week nights taking place at Broken Top Bottle Shop as well, such as the one taking place May 27 that features Sunriver Brewing, Cascade Lakes and Caldera.”

The SMaSH Fest, kicking off 1 pm on Friday (giving you plenty of time to visit if you’re hitting the Decemberists concert later that night), is certainly COBW’s most ambitious event. In fact, the beer fest—featuring nothing but SMaSH (single malt and single hop) beers from 18 breweries around the area—is totally unique in the United States, a chance to sample beer made with just the basic ingredients and see how choices of malt and hop variety can have huge effects on the resulting taste profile.

Hot beer debuts don’t end there, either. Friday will also see the Deschutes Brewery pub debut the 2015 of The Stoic, their whiskey barrel-aged Belgian, in bottles and on tap alongside the past two years’ worth of Not the Stoic releases. The next day, Crow’s Feet Commons will hold a party to celebrate the launch of 3-Way IPA, Fort George’s annual collaboration IPA; they brewed it with Pfriem and Georgetown Brewing this year.

Last year’s 3-Way was a citrusy joy that dominated Oregonian drinking habits all summer. Will lightning strike once again? If it doesn’t, you won’t have to go far to drown your sorrows. Bend Brewing Company, Silver Moon, Riverbend, Three Creeks, Worthy, Wild Ride, Growler Phil’s, and more are all holding special tastings, tappings, or meet-the-brewer dinners—have a peek at centraloregonbeerweek.com for details.

“One more recommendation I’d have,” Perez added, “is to track down a pint of the ‘COBW IPA(ish),’ the official COBW beer brewed by Sunriver Brewing. A full description and where to get it will be in the guide!”

Cog Wild gears up for mountain biking season

BY DELANO LAVIGNE

COG OWNERS ABOVE. PHOTO BY DELANO LAVIGNE.

Warm air, infrequent rain, and wispy yellow clouds of Juniper pollen have officially ushered in a new spring and soon-to-be summer season. Long gone are the days of waiting for and ultimately never getting snow, and welcome are the dusty and sun-stroked mornings, noon and nights of another trail-shredding, berm-busting mountain biking season.

Over the last few years Bend has gained national, if not international, recognition as a premier mountain bike destination. Directly from town, Bendites and Bendite wannabes have an endless series of seemingly desultory interconnected trails, something akin to a broken etch-a-sketch, that allow for any rider to create and pursue their own ultimate ride.

Few know the trails and the diverse groups of people who use them as well as co-owners and cycling enthusiasts Melanie Fisher and Lev Stryker from Bend’s Cog Wild Bike Tours and Shuttles. Owners since 2006, Fisher and Stryker have a finger on the pulse of mountain biking’s increasing popularity.

“Bend is an outdoor mecca and one reason is because the mountain biking terrain is incredibly unique and Bend has embraced the fact that it is a mountain biking destination,” says Fisher.

Cog Wild has paid close attention to the increased popularity and widening demographic interest in mountain biking and built its growing business on the notion that any rider of any skill level should have the chance to experience the joy of mountain biking.

“We offer tours for everyone, from beginners and families to expert riders who want to get to the best trails and chase a guide. And we love when riders finish our tours with huge smiles, hungry for more,” says Stryker.

“It’s very important to us to give every rider a great experience. We make sure our guides are more than skilled riders but also informed stewards of the environment and that they are wilderness first aid trained,” says Fisher.

“We have ‘guide rides’ where our guides share their favorite routes with each other in order to enhance the quality our guiding services.”

Each Cog Wild tour begins at the office located just above Pine Mountain Sports. Guests are first properly fitted for their bikes— either rented from one of Bend’s many bike shops or from Cog Wild—and then complete a quick survey about their cycling background. A Cog Wild guide does an initial assessment to guarantee that when the trail is chosen it caters to the skill and fitness level of each rider.

“After a quick shuttle up to one of the upper trailheads, Wanoga, Swampy Lakes, or Dutchman, our guides design the route for the day based on who they are riding with and the condition of the trails,” says Stryker. There are half and full-day rides and full-service multi-day vacation or multi-day camping rides that can include transportation to and from the airport, hotel accommodations, meals, and of course expert guiding on custom designed routes.

NATURAL WORLD

Pity the Poor Sage-Grouse Public lands for all animals

intimatecottagecuisine.com GROUSING FOR THE GROUSE. PHOTO BY JIM ANDERSON.

For the last four years, my wife Sue and I have been bouncing all over parts of Deschutes, Lake, and Harney Counties searching for golden eagle nesting territories. Among the sites we’ve found throughout the Great Sandy Desert are hundreds of square miles of land cleared of sagebrush where cows are chomping their way through what was once sage -grouse habitat.

Sage-grouse require grass between the sagebrush at least 7 inches tall to adequately protect eggs and chicks from predation. There are very few locations, besides Sheldon-Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge (where cattle grazing has been banned since 1993) that maintain that kind of vegetation.

In some other states, sage-grouse have been wiped out by oil and gas development. That hasn’t happened in Oregon yet, but sage-grouse populations are on the decline. If there has ever been an example of how much power cattlemen have on the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon you need look no further than the public lands of Harney and Lake Counties—that’s cattle country!

There are some places Sue and I discovered in Lake County where cows have actually eaten the sagebrush down to stumps. Normally that beautiful plant is as tall as a cow’s butt, but in some places it has been chomped down knee-high; the trunk 6-inches or better in diameter.

To me, it’s obvious that whoever allowed that land manipulation to take place had not one iota of concern for the diversity of life on the land, as long as it was converted into cow pasture.

Recently, Gov. Kate Brown met with state and county officials about the plight of the imperiled sage-grouse. The big hoorah was to achieve a cooperative venture between the counties, state, and feds to help sage-grouse make it back to a viable population—to keep them off the endangered species list. You can bet your sweet bippy cattleman don’t want to see sage-grouse on that list.

Ever since the first pioneers set foot in sage-grouse habitat of eastern Oregon, sagebrush has been a thorn in the cowman’s side. That is, all except the Hatfield outfit east of Brothers.

They’ve left the sage brush alone and seem to be content with the grazing land left to them.

Old Doc Hatfield was a man who saw diversity as a way to health of the land, and didn’t pound on the BLM to let cattle eat away at sage-grouse habitat.

So, in my way of looking at things, the sage-grouse will never achieve the numbers found in the ‘50s, or perhaps achieve a population that will keep them off the endangered species list. All we can hope for is the vegans of Oregon will eventually win over us meat-eaters and get the cows out of sage-grouse habitat.

It’s become popular to focus on the “journey” rather than the “destination.” And yet, most journeys do reach a conclusion. Less discussed is what happens when you arrive.

For Thousands of Miles (FTOM) explores the emotional impact of an arduous and solitary cross-country bike ride, and one man’s struggle to reckon with the after-journey. Inspired by filmmaker Mike Ambs’ own 55-day bicycle ride from Michigan to San Francisco, the film uses an actor to tell Ambs’ personal narrative.

“The truth is this project means everything to me,” Ambs wrote as part a Kickstarter campaign that raised nearly $9,000, “and ever since those two months, I’ve been haunted by the experience of my days on the road. The memories of lonely sunsets watched from empty back roads in Montana’s badlands. The memories of endless waving fields through North Dakota. The memories of feeling small against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.”

And that sentimentality is apparent. In many ways, the film feels like an attempt to memorialize that trip, and to externalize Ambs’ inner experience. For all its superficial similarities to Cheryl Strayed’s Wild—the challenging solo journey, the at times painful introspection, and the reluctance to leave nature behind when the trip is done—For Thousands of Miles is a different kind of story.

There is no drama, no intrigue. Where Wild is intensely specific, inviting the reader or viewer to connect with the narrator on a deeply personal level, FTOM traffics in generalities—broad, sweeping statements that could apply to any number of experiences.

Much like the journey, the film is slow moving. It opens on a wide shot of the main character, Larry McKurtis, riding his road bike along the shoulder of a winding mountain road.

For the first 10 minutes, there is no dialogue, no narration. Just the sounds of birds, bugs, and the occasional passing car.

We catch glimpses of pre-journey Larry. He’s been stealing bits of inspiration where he can. Stopping alongside the road to catch the sunset after work. Sleeping outside. He feels most at home on the road, and before long, flashbacks to nature scenes—accompanied by “The Very Thought of You”—win him over.

Eventually, we learn that Larry has set out to make the trek with his best friend, until an old snowboarding injury rears its head and forces his buddy to bow out. Still, our protagonist persists, intent on finding some greater meaning than that conferred by his dull day job at the local hardware store.

So he hits the road, riding through some of the most stunning landscapes in the American West. As he does, the viewer is along for the ride—both through the scenery and in Larry’s mind, and he dives deep into self-reflection.

This is no high-action drama. Nor is it an info-rich documentary. Rather, it is a slide show of striking natural scenes accompanied by an appropriately majestic original score, with a sort of monotone, meditative narration.

If you too miss the solitude of the open road or trail, this film may well prove cathartic.

Just don’t expect to walk away with any answers. As the film winds down, the narrator serves that anticlimax succinctly: “Part of him expected something profound to be waiting at the ocean, but in many ways, it never came.”

The film will be released online May 22 at ftomfilm.com and screened pre-release on May 21.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD THE AGE OF ADALINE It’s not uncommon for women, when questioned about their age, to claim they are perpetually 29. But for Adaline (Blake Lively) it’s a fact. For nearly a century, she’s been celebrating her 29th birthday. She’s successfully kept her strange secret largely by keeping to herself. But when she meets the handsome Ellis (Michiel Huisman), she faces a turning point.

Also starring Harrison Ford and Kathy Baker. Old

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON The time is now!

The film every nerd has been waiting for since the closing credits of the first Avengers. This adventure has Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye teaming up with the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver to take on one of Tony’s inventions gone wrong, Ultron. With Ultron being a somewhat sympathetic villain, expect some deep moral ambiguity from your favorite cinematic superhero team as well as Hulk smashing things in a way that makes you giggle.

EX MACHINA A couple of techie dudes develop a highly advanced (and rather fetching) lady robot.

And in a variation on a timeless (and sexist) trope, Ava the android uses her cunning and good looks to dupe the smarty-pants men. Old Mill Stadium 16

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 minigun and Statham kicking our heroes in their faces.

GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM In Israel, there is no such thing as a civil marriage or a civil divorce and a rabbi is the only person who can truly end a marriage. But the rabbi can only end the marriage if they have full consent from both spouses. This film follows the attempted end of a marriage when the husband refuses to grant his wife a divorce. Intense, powerful and difficult to watch, GETT shows what women’s rights being stripped away truly looks like. Tin Pan Theater 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. Old Mill Stadium 16

HOT PURSUIT Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Veraga star in this female-centric homage to films like Midnight Run and Running Scared. Since this is from the director of 27 Dresses and Step Up, it is hard to know whether this will be an action filled, crowd pleasing comedy, or a vapid attempt to cash in on a genre that has not seen a successful odd couple pairing in years.

THE LONGEST RIDE It’s a new year so that means it’s time for a new Nicholas Sparks adaptation.

This one sounds like a turgid romance novel as a bull rider falls in love with an art student with big dreams of New York City. Can their love handle the stresses of having different dreams while also being two completely different human beings?

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

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Guaranteed to be THE movie of the summer, the entirety of Fury Road is an extended chase boasting some of the finest cinematography, filmmaking, and action sequences ever put to film. Tom Hardy replaces Mel Gibson as Max, who teams up with Charlize Theron to save some young women from a massively insane warlord. If you only go to one film this summer, this is the one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Pine Theater, Redmond Theatre

PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2 The sequel to the arthouse triumph, Paul Blart: Mall Cop The First. This time Mr. Blart uses his Oxford-educated wits to just hang out for 90 minutes and have a conversation about post-modernism and how it relates to millennial values and more while sipping 70-year old scotch and listening to Clint Mansell compositions. Wait, nope, this is more lowest-common-denominator garbage for people to enjoy while trying to take their mind off their type-two diabetes. I wonder how many times his balls get hit. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX PITCH PERFECT 2 The Barden Bellas are back and all the way at the bottom once again. Starring the delightful Anna Kendrick, 2012’s Pitch Perfect was a surprisingly hilarious and heartfelt musical comedy smash and the sequel is poised to be just as insanely popular. When the Bellas are banned from competing in the US, they enter an international competition that no American team has ever won. Expect more awesome A cappella hijinks from the ladies and more fat jokes from Rebel Wilson. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Theatre, Sisters Movie House

POLTERGEIST Remakes tend to be terrible with John Carpenter’s The Thing being one of the few exceptions. The Poltergeist remake, with a script by brilliant playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by the guy that did Monster House and a cast including Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt and Jared Harris, Poltergeist 2015 could also buck the trend. The trailer is chilling, so count me in on opening night. I’ll bring the diapers if someone else brings the whiskey. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TOMORROWLAND Tomorrowland is the new film

by Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. As wonderful of a filmmaker as he is, the trailer and description for the film make it sound like some Objectivist fantasy straight from the brain of Ayn Rand herself. Hopefully the script by Damon Lindelof (co-creator of Lost) will focus more on the fantastic and less on the mundane. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE WATER DIVINER Set during World War I, the film follows an Australian farmer named Connor (Russell Crowe), who discovers that his three sons died in the Battle of Gallipoli. After traveling to Turkey to bring their bodies home, he learns that one of the young men may be alive and imprisoned. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX WILD TALES A dark comedy divided into six segments that are all related to revenge. The standout is the one about a demolition engineer looking for revenge against the towing company that ruined his life. Simultaneously hilarious and shocking, the film brings to mind such classics as The Proposition, Kill Bill, Very Bad Things, and War of the Roses.

Audiences have been eating this one up like soup filled with rat poison. Tin Pan Theater WOMAN IN GOLD The divine Helen Mirren stars in this true story of one woman’s quest to recover a family portrait by Gustav Klimt stolen by the Nazis in the 1940s. That battle makes its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

I ♥ TELEVISION

Thank Dave

BY WM.™ STEVEN HUMPHREY

When I was but a wee laddie, I witnessed something on television that would change my life forever. The year was 1980; that particular summer day was rainy and miserable, and none of my friends were anywhere to be found. So I listlessly flipped the four or five channels on our TV before unhappily settling on an NBC morning show hosted by a very average looking guy with an uncomfortably large gap between his teeth.

If memory serves, the host was interviewing a scientist who was pontificating over some very obtuse subject, and being extremely patronizing in the process. In fact, the scientist was a total a-hole, and I began desperately hoping the gap-toothed host would tell him off—but he didn’t. He just sat there, patiently, letting this smug, know-itall butthole dominate the entire interview.

HOWEVER! When the segment was over, and the host thanked his guest, something I’ve never seen before or since occurred: As the a-hole scientist got up and left his chair, a HUGE 200-lb. sandbag fell from the ceiling and—KA-BLAM!!—crushed the chair into splinters. And I was like, “OMIGOD, WHAT JUST HAPPENED??” That’s when the gap-toothed host turned to the audience, shrugged, and said, “Just missed.” Cut to commercial.

I…was…astounded. I mean, I’d already been regularly watching the still-young “Saturday Night Live,” so I was no stranger to acerbic comedy—but at 10 am in the morning?? I eventually learned I was watching “The David Letterman Show,” starring a former weatherman from Indiana (!!) who later moved to L.A. to pursue his dream of becoming a comedian and comedy writer. Everything about “The David Letterman Show” was weird: From his

CENTRAL OREGON’S NEWS LEADER choice of weird comedian guests (including Andy Kaufman, Steve Martin, and Richard Lewis), to his weird regular segments (like the birth of “Small Town News” and “Stupid Pet Tricks”—which shall always be remembered for the time Dave presented a canned ham to a monkey washing a cat). But most weird of all? What was a show like this doing on in the morning? In short, I WAS IN LOVE. Now, I’m not an idiot—I know and expect “all good things to come to an end.” But “The David Letterman Show” was waaaaay too good to last in such an unusual timeslot and was unceremoniously canceled after a short four months on the air. But dear god, it was a sweet and revelatory four months.

I watched it religiously every morning that summer, and taped it to watch later when I was in school. And even though it came and went in a flash, it gave a weird kid like me hope—that if a national network would give a gap-toothed weirdo like that his own show…even if it were only for four months?

Any weird thing I decided to do in my life was possible.

Obviously Letterman went on to even greater things in the late night TV, but for me? My world opened up with the crash of a sandbag, an a-hole scientist who should’ve been crushed, and the gap between Letterman’s teeth.

The British Prime Minister offered him a knighthood, but he refused it. When he found out he had been awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature, he wanted to turn it down but his wife convinced him to accept it. The English government also sought to give him the prestigious Order of Merit, but he rejected it, saying, “I have already conferred this order upon myself.” He’s your role model for right now, Taurus. Congratulate yourself for your successes, whether or not anyone else does.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Aha!” is your

dy-drama “Jane the Virgin,” the fictional character known as Rogelio de la Vega is a vain but lovable actor who performs in telenovelas. “I’m very easy to dress,” he tells the wardrobe supervisor of a new show he’ll be working on. “Everything looks good on me. Except for peach.

I don’t pop in peach.” What he means is that his charisma doesn’t radiate vividly when he’s wearing peach-colored clothes. Now I want to ask you, Leo: What don’t you pop in? I’m not simply talking about the color of clothes that enable you to shine, but everything else, too.

In the coming weeks, it’s crucial that you surround yourself with influences that make you pop.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Are you willing

to entertain an outlandish possibility? Here’s my vision: You will soon be offered unexpected assistance, either through the machinations of a “guardian angel” or the messy blessings of a shape-shifting spirit. This divine intervention will make it possible for you to demolish a big, bad obstacle you’ve been trying to find a way around. Even if you have trouble believing in the literal factuality of my prophecy, here’s what I suspect: It will at least come true in a metaphorical sense—which is the truest kind of truth of all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Glory” is the

theme song of the film Selma. It’s an anthem about the ongoing struggle for equal rights by African Americans. I want to borrow one of its lines for your use in the coming weeks: “Freedom is like a religion to us.” I think those will be good words for you to live by. Are you part of a group that suffers oppression and injustice?

Are you mixed up in a situation that squashes your self-expression? Are you being squelched by the conditioned habits of your own unconscious mind? It’s high time to rebel. The quest for liberation should be your spiritual calling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you’re plan-

ning on breaking a taboo, sneaking into a forbidden zone, or getting intimate with an edge-dweller, don’t tell boastful stories about what you’re doing. For now, secrecy is not only sexy; it’s a smart way to keep you safe and effective. Usually I’m fond of you telling the whole truth. I like it when you reveal the nuanced

depths of your feelings. But right now I favor a more cautious approach to communication.

Until your explorations have progressed further, I suggest that you only discuss them sparingly. As you put your experiments in motion, share the details on a need-to-know basis.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are many possible ways to create and manage a close relationship. Here’s one of my favorite models: when two independent, self-responsible souls pledge to help each other activate the best versions of themselves. If you don’t have a partnership like this, the near future will be a favorable time to find one. And if you already do have an intimate alliance in which the two of you synergize each other’s quest for individuation, the coming weeks could bring you breathtaking breakthroughs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a chal-

lenge to drive a car through Canada’s far north.

For example, if you want to get from Dawson in the Yukon Territory to Inuvik in the Northwest Territory, you take Dempster Highway.

It’s gravel road for the entire 417-mile trip, so the ride is rough. Bring a spare tire and extra gasoline, since there’s just one service station along the way. On the plus side, the scenery is thrilling. The permafrost in the soil makes the trees grow in odd shapes, almost like they’re drunk. You can see caribou, wolverines, lynx, bears, and countless birds. Right now, the sun is up 20 hours every day.

And the tundra?

You’ve never seen anything like it.

Even if you don’t make a trip like this, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon embark on a metaphorically similar version.

With the right attitude and preparation, you will have fun and grow more courageous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Aquarian author James Joyce wrote

Ulysses, one of the most celebrated and influential novels of the 20th century. The narrative is both experimental and tightly structured. Its chaotic stream-of-consciousness passages are painstakingly crafted. (Anyone who wonders how the astrological sign of Aquarius can be jointly ruled by the rebellious planet Uranus and the disciplinarian planet Saturn need only examine this book for evidence.) Joyce claimed he labored over Ulysses for 20,000 hours.

That’s the equivalent of devoting eight hours a day, 350 days a year, for over seven years. Will you ever work that hard and long on a project, Aquarius? If so, now would be an auspicious time to start.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English writer and caricaturist Max Beerbohm moved away from his native land when he was 37 years old. He settled in Rapallo, Italy, where he lived for much of the rest of his life. Here’s the twist: When he died at age 83, he had still not learned to speak Italian. For 40 years, he used his native tongue in his foreign home. This is a failing you can’t afford to have in the coming months, Pisces. The old proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans,” has never been so important for you to observe.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): James McNeil Whistler was an influential painter in the latter half of the 19th century. He advocated the “art for art’s sake” credo, insisting that the best art doesn’t need to teach or moralize. As far as he was concerned, its most important purpose was to bring forth “glorious harmony” from chaos. But the immediate reason I’m nominating him to be your patron saint for the coming weeks is the stylized signature he created: an elegant butterfly with a long tail that was actually a stinger. I think you’ll thrive by embodying that dual spirit: being graceful, sensitive, and harmonious and yet also feisty, piquant, and provocative. Can you manage that much paradox? I think you can.

Socks And The City

Head to Heal Therapy Massage & Bodyworks Swedish - Deep Tissue - Shiatzu Pregnancy - Injury - Couples

I’m a 31-year-old straight guy. I dress pretty boringly—except for my socks. I go for crazy colors and patterns. My buddy says these make me look “weird” and “less manly.” Come on. Do women really want you to be a carbon copy of every black-sock-wearing dude out there?

In the sock department, as in other areas, it’s the nuances that count. So, go ahead and make a statement—but maybe one that stops short of “I’m really a Japanese schoolgirl!”

Novelty sock wearing for men has actually been a thing in North America for a few years.

The really wacky ones may work as what anthropologists and animal behaviorists call a “costly signal.” This is an extravagant or risky trait or behavior that comes with a substantial price—handicapping a person’s or critter’s survival or chances of mating—thus suggesting that it’s a reliable sign of their quality. An example is a peacock with a particularly lush (and heavy) tail. His managing to escape predators while dragging around big feathered hindquarters like a train on a royal wedding dress tells peahens (girl peacocks) that he must be a real Chuck Norris among big feathery birds.

Still, there are costly signals—“I’m man enough”—and too-costly signals: “It’s raining men! Hallelujah!” To figure out where the line lies for you, average all the variables: degree of manliness, girliness of sock choice, occupation (like if you’re a British graphic designer or a guy who goes to work in oversize red shoes), and the eccentricity level of the women you like. But keep in mind that certain socks are risky for any man, such as—and yes, these actually exist—Superman insignia socks, complete with tiny red capes attached. Sure, let your socks tell a woman that you want to take her home with you—but maybe not so you can tear off all your clothes and make her watch as you play with your action figures in your Superman Underoos.

Moments after robbing a tourist of her gold chain on a street in Miami Beach, Fla., the gunman returned to the scene in his Mercedes and confronted the victim about the poor quality of the jewelry, complaining it was fake. The victim flagged down police and pointed out Daniel Sion Palmer, 26. “That was a brazen move,” Det. Ernesto Rodriguez said, “and because of that, he was able to be apprehended.”

Hoping for a new home in Venezuela’s Anzoategui state, Marleni Olivo, 54, wrote her name and phone number on a mango and threw it at visiting President Nicolas Maduro, hitting him in the head. Maduro kept the mango and later announced that he had approved a new apartment for Olivo. “Tomorrow, no later than the day after tomorrow, we will give it to you,” he promised.

Olivo later explained that she wanted to write her request on a note but lacked paper: “What I had was a mango that I was about to eat because I was hungry.” (CNN)

After Marsha Yumi Perry, 36, struck a 5-year-old boy with her pickup truck in Washougal, Ore., she left the injured victim at the scene and then hid from police by crawling into a shallow hole and covering herself with dirt. A police dog tracking her scent indicated her location, and the handler warned that he was about to unleash the dog.

“The ground moved, and she sat up,” police Sgt. Geoff Reijonen said. (Portland’s The Oregonian)

Muslims may now use toilet paper, according to a new Islamic fatwa by Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs. It noted that although toilet paper is acceptable for hygiene, water remains preferable. Men and women still aren’t supposed to stand while relieving themselves but should squat or sit. (Britain’s Daily Mail) A sex shop that caters to Muslims is opening in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Abdelaziz Aouragh, owner of the Halal Sex Shop, said the store targets married couples looking to enhance their sex lives.

Aouragh pointed out that its 18 halal-observant sex toys do “not include inflatable dolls.” (International Business Times)

HIGH-JUMP CHALLENGE

Having failed to stop intruders from climbing the fence surrounding the White House, the Secret Service is adding a second layer of steel spikes to the existing iron picket fence tops. The spikes will measure 7.25 inches tall, with a half-inch steel pencil point at the top, protruding outward multiple inches, to create an acute angle. The measure is only temporary, according to National

Parks Service official Jenny Anzelmo-Sarles, who said the goal is to have a completely new fence built by fall 2016. (CNN)

PROBLEM SOLVED

Female lifeguards at China’s most dangerous rapids, in Henan province, have been fitted with cameras to discourage men from deliberately throwing themselves into the water so that they can grope their rescuers. Intended to identify sex-pest swimmers, the waterproof cameras are attached to the women’s helmets and legs, waists and chests, and decoratively covered by leaves and flowers. (Britain’s Daily Mail)

EX POST FACTO FOLLIES

An Australian man, seeking to reduce the amount owed his wife in divorce proceedings, disputed her claim that their marriage ended in 2011. He insisted instead that it ended in 1999 but, for the purposes of dividing their joint assets, that his affection for her ended in 1974, when he discovered she had “deformed” nipples. That was two years after their wedding, the man told Federal Circuit Court, but it took that long before he saw her undressed. “If I had seen them before, I would not have married her,” he said. Even though he wanted out of the marriage at that point, they subsequently had three children and stayed together for decades. Judge Warwick Neville chided the husband for his “very cavalier, if not a misleading and remarkably nonchalant, bordering on an immaturely irresponsible, approach …to the martial relationship,” and said the man was “nit-picking” to suit his own case. He ruled that the marriage ended in 2011. (Australia’s Canberra Times)

SECOND-AMENDMENT THRILLS

The conservative group ForAmerica invited key contributors to donate $50,000 to spend a “historic weekend” at an exclusive resort in Jackson Hole, Wyo., and shoot machine guns with Robert O’Neill, billed as the Navy SEAL “who shot Osama bin Laden.” When critics condemned the promotion’s portrayal of O’Neill, ForAmerica’s founder, Brent Bozell, apologized, explaining that his team “got a little ahead of itself” in issuing the invitation. He regretted describing O’Neill “in a way that is inconsistent with the high standards he applies when he characterizes the service of Navy SEALS” and added, “There will be no machine guns involved; this is strictly a sport shooting event.” (The Washington Post)

DRINKING-CLASS HERO

A British immigration court overturned a deportation order for a foreign criminal because he is an alcoholic. The 53-year-old man, who came to Britain from Libya in 1981 and has been convicted of 78 assorted offenses, appealed on the grounds that deporting him would violate his human rights because he would face physical punishment and imprisonment in his homeland for his uncontrollable drinking. The court noted that his many, unspecified offenses were committed “largely and possibly exclusively as a consequence of his alcoholism” but Upper Tribunal Judge Jonathan Perkins said deportation would deprive him of his “right to family life” in Britain, enabling him to continue his alcohol-fueled criminal behavior.

SMOKE SIGNALS

CANNABIS CORNER

Bend Police Dogs

BY LEAH CHATTERJEE

The legalization of recreational weed in Oregon brings about many changes, at least one of which is hard to celebrate. Police dogs are losing their jobs in states where pot is now legal, in large part because their ability to sniff out weed can now invalidate any arrest made where marijuana is present among other illegal narcotics. In such cases, it is hard to prove that the dog did not respond to weed.

What, then, does the future hold for the police dogs of Bend?

“They are being retired,” says Officer Don Barber, drug detection canine handler for the City of Bend. Officer Barber handles Zoey, Bend’s four year old Belgian Malinois police dog, who has been working since she was 17 months old. Barber explains that the City has been trying to sell her to states where marijuana is still illegal, but has not had any success. He hopes that Zoey will be allowed to go home with his family, but the decision is ultimately the City’s. While it is possible to retrain police dogs, Barber explains that it would be very hard to prove in court that the dog did not respond to marijuana.

Barber also points out that Bend police will no longer be able to conduct dog sniffs for marijuana in schools.

There are currently at least 12 drug detecting canines in Oregon that will be retired.

Officer Barber explains that the very characteristics that make them great at their jobs make them difficult to place with families. “They are working dogs. They need to be moving,” says Barber.

For now, the future of police dogs like Bend’s Zoey remains uncertain.
