DIALOGUE Last week, WW unpacked the increasing hostility felt by dog-owning residents of the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood toward Portland Public Schools (“Freedom Fido,” June 22). At issue: the grassy field at Hosford Middle School, which the school district has fenced off. PPS officials say they’re protecting students from dog poop and vagrants. Residents say the district is restricting their access to greenspace—and some of them have begun cutting the fence locks with bolt cutters. Here’s what our readers have to say:
JASON WILSON, VIA TWITTER: “Be careful, this story is
pure uncut Portland.”
ATLASPDX, VIA WWEEK. COM: “I have a dog and would
occasionally go to Hosford. When I encountered the locked gate, instead of getting all huffy and taking it as a personal affront, I just walked four blocks to Sewallcrest Park. It is an offleash dog park with more room to roam than Hosford. Sounds like some peeps need to get more familiar with our neighborhood’s other amenities.”
ALLAN RUDWICK, VIA TWITTER: “While I strongly dislike
dogs, I think it’s important that school fields are open to the public, and I really don’t like the way PPS is acting here.”
LEFT_LANE_CAMPER, VIA REDDIT: “I love dogs and like

having dog parks nearby and all, but unless I’m misreading something, the space in question is a playfield for a middle school, not a dog park? Why is this even a discussion? It’s school land for use by the students, and if the school tells you to fuck off, you fuck off.”
Dr. Know
PDXTALLDAN, VIA WWEEK. COM: “Hey, taxes pay for the
federal courthouse and police stations: How about walking your dogs there? Your taxes pay for PDX Airport as well: It’s such a wide-open space, it would make a good off-leash park as well. “Vandalism is a crime. What are you thinking?”
NICOLE FUNKE, VIA TWITTER: “Tried to have a picnic
here last summer and someone’s dog ran up and grabbed our dinner. Owner finally walked up and, not apologizing, just said, ‘It’s a dog park now.’”
MOUNTSCOTTRUMPOT, VIA REDDIT: “WW knows that peo-
ple love stories about entitled people being dicks. That’s the whole reason they’ve published the Water Hogs issue for the past 20 years.” ELLIOTT YOUNG, VIA TWITTER: “They come with locks and
chains to enclose the commons. PPS is fighting a war against residents, which it will lose because walls and fences don’t work. Bigger locks yield bigger bolt cutters. Why not negotiate
a reasonable compromise with people?” KEEPSGOINGSUP, VIA REDDIT: “These people just
happen to not know that there’s an actual sanctioned off-leash dog park four blocks away? Fido would probably appreciate the extra tenth-of-a-mile walk. “The fence sucks since it really screws up the connection of [Southeast] Caruthers [Street] and forces you onto Division traffic as a pedestrian, but I blame the irresponsible pet owners for ruining a good thing for the entire neighborhood. And that’s coming from having a dog that loves to run.” SCRAPPYMUTT, VIA WWEEK. COM: “I have a dog, two chil-
dren at PPS, and I own a home in Southeast Portland, so I have all my skin, bones, and blood in the game. I think the reality is that there is not a simple answer or a correct side to take. “We do need to protect these schools so that kids have a safe place to be. But we also have a responsibility to provide greenspace for people that live in the neighborhood. The real solution would be to turn one of those 50 new condos on Division into a park. But greed knows no bounds, so developers turned every inch into profit and left the kids, dogs and neighbors to fight over the scraps.”

Just west of the I-205 bridge (on the Oregon side), there’s a large industrial building with a very oddly shaped roof, like a giant hatch opening up to admit some massive alien spacecraft. I’ve seen similar buildings elsewhere. Is the arrival of the Mothership imminent? —Sir Nose d’Voidofbrains I wish I could tell you, Nose, that Starchild’s space ark—as prophesied in George Clinton’s P-Funk mythos—is on its way. (I’d probably be first up against the wall when they arrived—I’m basically the personification of the Placebo Syndrome—but I can live with that.) Unfortunately, the strange bulges that WW’s own Nigel Jaquiss once compared to “a pair of enormous hands… praying for relief,” do not in fact open and close for spaceships or anything else. Rather, they’re part of a system for managing the heat and fume removal needs of industrial processes, which I think we can all agree is just about the least funkalicious sentence ever uttered. That said, the thing that those hands might have been praying for relief from—a city tax on factories with a heavy carbon footprint (“Glass Houses,” WW, Jan. 27, 2021)—is directly related to why they’re there in the first place.
The Owens-Brockway glass-recycling plant is carbon intensive because it uses a lot of energy, and since that energy is used to melt down the equivalent of 440,000 beer bottles a day (thanks, Nigel!), it can get pretty toasty in there. The weird roof things—which are called Robertson ventilators—keep the building from melting along with the bottles. When you’re generating that much heat, the exhaust fans and louvered vents used in normal shops could never keep up. Instead, here the entire roof is the exhaust vent. The unusual shape is designed to keep rain and snow out while still allowing heat (and possibly some less wholesome pollutants) to escape. The ridges look a bit like crooked chimneys and work on the same principle, drawing fresh cool air in at the bottom and venting the hot air out the top. Some installations goose the process with inward-facing fans around the base of the building, but most of the work is done passively by natural thermodynamic processes. All in all, it’s just about the fastest way industry has devised for getting waste heat out of a building. Unless, of course, you’re willing to tear the roof off the sucker. Questions?

MINGUS MAPPS CHARTER REFORM MEETS UNEXPECTED PUSHBACK: City Commissioner Mingus Mapps launched a political action committee last fall explicitly to promote charter reform. WW has learned Mapps has reversed course and the PAC he formed now plans to air criticisms of a charter reform measure set to appear on the November ballot. Earlier this month, the 20-member Portland Charter Commission voted to send multiple reforms of city government and elections to the ballot. They chose to bundle all the reforms into a single measure. Mapps tells WW he thinks parts of the measure are “bad ideas”: “As you layer on these complications after complications…I think it actually might make our government less functional.” Mapps says his PAC will take an “educational” approach to the pushback by hosting forums to scrutinize the reform proposals. A second PAC, led by recent City Council candidate Vadim Mozyrsky and two onetime staffers of former Mayor Bud Clark, Chuck Duff y and Steve Moskowitz, is forming to launch a campaign against the measure. “We are a group of citizens who favored a change in our city’s form of government but see multiple problems with this proposal,” Duff y tells WW. “Our campaign will clearly set forth those problems and explain our reasons to vote no.” PORTLAND OFFICIALS TRAVEL TO DENMARK: A delegation of Portland elected officials and staff went to Denmark last week to learn about that country’s efforts to decarbonize industrial businesses. The group included Portland City Commissioner Carmen Rubio, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability director Donnie Oliveira, Multnomah County Commissioner Susheela Jayapal, and Metro Councilor Duncan Hwang. The TK-day trip was partly funded by the Olympia, Wash.-based nonprofit Center for Sustainable Infrastructure. Public dollars paid another portion of officials’ expenses. Jayapal’s office spent $8,574.25 on her trip. Rubio’s office spent $4,822.94 for her and her chief of staff, Jillian Schoene. BPS spent roughly $3,700 for Oliveira and Janet Hammer, who works as a coordinator for the bureau on climate and sustainability standards. Metro spent $1,375 on Hwang’s trip. On June 19, Rubio posted on Facebook: “I plan to learn as much as I can so that we can build a vibrant clean industry hub here in the Rose City.”
AUDIT TORCHES FIRE BUREAU: A new 27-page city audit released June 29 paints a damning picture of Portland Fire & Rescue’s culture, saying the city’s second-largest general fund bureau (after police) “does not have a coherent accountability system.” The audit, which notes that 89% of PFR staff are male and 79% are white, found a sloppy, subjective approach to training firefighters on city HR policies and handling complaints that allege those policies have been breached. “Employees perceived misconduct investigations as inconsistent or unfair,” the audit says. “They believed outcomes were influenced by who made the complaint, who was being investigated, and who was conducting the investigation.” Investigations also proceeded glacially, were poorly documented and, even when they resulted in discipline, the audit found, took an average of 119 days for that discipline to be handed down. Fire Chief Sara Boone grudgingly accepted the audit and pledged to make improvements, but said it relied on outdated information and “does not provide balanced information about the measures we are taking to address the challenges.” Fire Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, who has long battled City Auditor Mary Hull Caballero, did not respond to the audit, although Hardesty aide Derek Bradley says her office worked closely with the bureau on its response. Hardesty is out of town and could not be reached for comment. DEVENY PLEADS GUILTY TO BILKING CLIENTS: Lori Deveny, a former Portland lawyer known for exotic hunting trophies and a fondness for poker, has pleaded guilty to a laundry list of federal felonies after admitting she bilked her clients of settlement payments for years. Acting U.S. Attorney for Oregon Scott Asphaug announced June 27 that Deveny, 56, had pleaded guilty to mail, bank and wire fraud; aggravated identity theft; money laundering; and filing a false tax return. In a 2019 cover story (“Game Over,” Jan. 16, 2019), WW reported allegations that Deveny repeatedly kept and spent insurance settlements meant for clients of her personal injury law practice. Many of Deveny’s clients were highly vulnerable, having suffered serious injury in car crashes or other incidents.

Heat Deaths Five things to know about the Portlanders who died during last June’s heat wave. BY S O P H I E P E E L
speel@wweek .com
One year ago this week, 69 Multnomah County residents died because of a “heat dome” that broiled the city to 116 degrees Fahrenheit and left MAX trains inoperable, streets buckling, and Portlanders seeking refuge wherever possible—sometimes to no avail. Last Sunday, even as temperatures rose to a toasty if bearable 99 degrees in Portland, Multnomah County released its analysis of those deaths. Here’s five newly released numbers about who died, where and how:
UNBEARABLE: Portland sweltered at 116 degrees one year ago this week.

That’s the percentage of COVID-19 tests that came back positive in Multnomah County in the week ending June 25. It’s the highest positivity rate in Oregon’s most populous county since the week ending Feb. 5. And it’s one of several indications that a significant amount of COVID is being transmitted in Portland as the pandemic’s third summer begins. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data officially shows that community transmission is “high” in nine counties. That means the state recommends indoor masking there. Test positivity rates are a useful shorthand for COVID’s spread in a community because they indicate when tests are not showing all the cases that are erupting. In past phases of the pandemic, Oregon public health officials said a 5% positivity rate was the mark they were shooting for. To be sure, rapid tests have become more available, which may mean tons of tests are happening that aren’t reported to public health officials; it may also mean some people are getting professionally tested after knowing they’re positive. “We know this is an undercount because more people are testing at home,” says Oregon
Health Authority spokesman Rudy Owens. “Recent evidence from a study this spring in New York City suggests about 1 in 30 cases were being reported to public health.” And from the end of February through the beginning of April, the average weekly positivity rate fell below 5%; it’s mostly been climbing since. “Trends tell us people are still getting sick, and we know the virus is circulating widely in Oregon,” Owens says. Here’s how positivity rates have increased in Multnomah County since May 1. R AC H E L

have had air conditioning in their units. (Seven of the 10 didn’t have their AC units plugged in or they weren’t working.) The county said lack of air conditioning was a “key driver” in most deaths during the heat dome.
“While the defund movement is kind of over, people haven’t really vocally come back and said, ‘You’re right, we need you.’ They’re happy to have us here and they’re not complaining that we’re here, but they’re not actively saying, ‘We need you.’ “And we need the community to say they want us to be like [we used to be] again.” —Portland Police Officer Jordan Zaitz, in a June 16 interview with the Northwest Labor Press Zaitz, who works in the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct, bemoaned what she described as a lack of consequences for drug crimes and staffing shortages that hamstring police response. City officials regularly say Portland needs more officers—most recently, mayoral aide Sam Adams said as much to The Oregonian on June 25 while examining political vandalism on Northeast Sandy Boulevard. But Portland has struggled to recruit new
officers. This spring, the City Budget Office noted in documents that the Police Bureau lost 90 filled officer positions between 2018 and 2022, and hadn’t hired a single officer in 2021. “The reduction in filled sworn positions during this period is the result of attrition and the lack of hiring,” the budget office wrote. Zaitz’s remarks offer a window into the mindset that may be hindering recruitment. A A R O N M E S H .

Grain Delay The son of a famed developer has grand ambitions for a grain elevator in the Rose Quarter. BY A N T H O N Y E F F I N G E R
aef finger@wweek .com
The most mysterious building in Portland might be the grain elevator just north of the Steel Bridge, a hulking row of concrete cylinders that look like missile silos. For years, the Louis Dreyfus Co. (actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus is an heir) used the terminal to ship wheat from Eastern Oregon to the world. The grain came down the Columbia River on barges or rail, got piled in the silos, and then loaded onto oceangoing vessels. In 2013, Louis Dreyfus invested $21.5 million to renovate the facility, putting in new equipment to clean grain and move it from barge to silo to ship. Then, in June 2019, Louis Dreyfus did a strange thing. It sold the whole place for just $164,000 to a California firm called Rabin Worldwide that specializes in auctioning off industrial properties and equipment. Two-bedroom houses in Gresham go for more than that. Rabin chief financial officer Jakob Grøn declined to say anything about the fire-sale price. Louis Dreyfus didn’t return multiple inquiries sent to its media department. And then the story got even more interesting. Beau Blixseth, son of Tim Blixseth, Oregon’s most notorious timber baron, bought the 3-acre property for $2.9 million in February 2021. Blixseth the elder turned a Montana clear cut into the Yellowstone Club, a private ski area near Bozeman that counts Bill Gates and Justin Timberlake as members. Blixseth the younger, 42, would like to pull off a similar feat in Portland. He thinks Louis Dreyfus made a big mistake by selling, especially now that war in
Ukraine is cutting global grain supplies and driving up prices. Beau Blixseth planned to rent his terminal to a commodities shipper. But he soon discovered a hitch in his dreams—which might explain why Louis Dreyfus sold it for a song. An exporter expressed interest in the terminal but learned the railroad wouldn’t serve it any longer, Blixseth says. Union Pacific planned to modify a sharp corner near the terminal to prevent derailments, and the change would preclude service, he says. Union Pacific confirms this: “We have explored all proposals for track configuration to consider service at this site,” railroad spokeswoman Robynn Tysver wrote in an email. “They do not meet Union Pacific’s engineering and safety guidelines. We have concluded that we cannot provide rail service to [the] facility.” Anyone planning to reach it by rail is out of luck, for now, and so is Blixseth. Blixseth, like his father, sees a pot of gold in his pile of concrete and steel. On a visit to the terminal last week, he floated the idea of a modernist Ferris wheel like the London Eye, or riverside apartments. He was undaunted by a break-in the night before during which vandals smashed windows and desks, sprayed graffiti, and tipped over shelves. “Our goal from day one has been to get an operator inside it so that we can move grain from up the Columbia to Portland and then out to the world,” Blixseth says. “But real estate development is in my blood. I’ve always seen this property as part of the Rose Quarter.” The neighborhood became much more interesting on June 2, when The New York Times and ESPN re-

ported that Nike founder Phil Knight had teamed up with entrepreneur Alan Smolinisky to bid $2 billion for the Portland Trail Blazers, which play in Moda Center just across North Interstate Avenue from Blixseth’s battered grain elevator. “It would be great if a guy like Phil could come in and turn the whole area into a very safe zone, a place where you want to go not only for a Blazer game, but for lunch,” Blixseth says. Either way, the grain elevator has returned a controversial family to the center of Northwest real estate speculation—a place where the Blixseths have flourished, and floundered, before. The Blixseth name is famous in Oregon, and Beau appears to have the same appetite for risk that his dad does. Tim Blixseth grew up dirt poor in Roseburg on a diet of Spam. He worked in lumber mills in high school and got a taste for deal-making when he bought three donkeys for $75 and resold them for $225, according to a Bloomberg News story from 2006. Once he had a nest egg, he started buying and selling small parcels of timberland. He bought sawmills and he got rich (“Timber Tycoon,” WW, Oct. 5, 1989). That run, the first of many, ended in the 1980s, when interest rates jumped and timber prices slumped. He and his then-wife, Edra, declared bankruptcy. They listed $15.4 million in debts and $4,400 in assets, Bloomberg reported in 2006. Soon after, Blixseth pitched Peter Stott, founder of local trucking company Market Transport Ltd., on a new timber venture, Crown Pacific Ltd. When Stott and a partner bought Blixseth out in 1991, Blixseth used the money to buy timberland near Yellowstone National Park. He planned to subdivide it for home sites. The plan freaked out the U.S. Forest Service because elk calved on the land and endangered grizzlies fed on them, Bob Dennee, a staff officer with the Forest Service in Bozeman, told Bloomberg. To get Blixseth out of grizzly country, the Forest Service agreed to swap him for a valley near Big Sky Resort. Blixseth took the deal and built the Yellowstone Club. Gates became a member, along with former Vice
“Real estate development is in my blood. I’ve always seen this property as part of the Rose Quarter.” President Dan Quayle and bicycling champion Greg LeMond. Everything went well until Credit Suisse, the huge Swiss bank, showered the Western U.S. with money, offering huge loans to resort owners like Blixseth, then selling pieces of those loans to investors craving higher interest payments. Blixseth borrowed $375 million from Credit Suisse in 2005 and took $209 million of it for his operating company, according to Bloomberg. LeMond sued Blixseth for breach of contract. As an investor in the Yellowstone Club’s operations, some of the $209 million belonged to him, he said in his 2006 complaint. But instead of paying him, LeMond claimed Blixseth used the money to buy a medieval chateau in France, a Mexican resort called Tamarindo, two jets, two RollsRoyce Phantoms, and three Land Rovers, according to LeMond’s complaint. The suit created unsavory headlines for a club that caters to billionaires. LeMond eventually won $39.5 million, according to attorney Chris Madel, who represented LeMond. Then, the 2008 financial crisis hit, and Tim Blixseth went through an ugly divorce with Edra. She got the club in the split and promptly put it into bankruptcy. Blixseth has been fighting those proceedings ever since, according to complaints and appeals he’s filed. He spent 14 months in a Montana jail starting in 2015 after a federal judge ruled that Blixseth hadn’t accounted for the proceeds when he sold Tamarindo. The sins of the father don’t appear to have impeded the son. To buy the grain elevator, a Blixseth business entity called Castle Arden 1 LLC borrowed $3.3 million from the Sortis Income Fund LLC, an affiliate of a Portland-based firm called Sortis Holdings that specializes in alternative investments like real estate loans. Sortis was founded by Jef Baker, who, as CEO of Gresham-based MBank, caused a stir in 2014 with a short-lived foray into banking the cannabis industry (“Joint Ventures,” WW, March 25, 2015). Sortis didn’t return a phone call seeking comment. One thing that Blixseth doesn’t advertise: His riverfront property is piled high with shards of old tires. They are awaiting shipment to Asia for use as fuel, he says when pressed. The business is run by Castle Tire Recycling, a Portland company that gathers tires for fuel and recycling into synthetic turf on sports fields. Castle Tire is led by Chandos Mahon, Blixseth’s partner in the grain elevator. Public records show he signed the loan agreement with Sortis along with Blixseth. Blixseth says Mahon is press shy. He didn’t return a phone call and emails seeking comment. “There were multiple reasons we bought the property,” Blixseth says. “We were definitely looking for something that we could utilize industrially and had the ability to import and export whatever kind of material. That was important.” So, for now, Blixseth is in the tire-recycling business. He also gets paid for the gigantic billboard for ESPN that hangs on the side of the elevator. Wheat may come next, especially if the war in Ukraine keeps driving prices higher. Russia and Ukraine account for one-third of the global supply, and those sources are constrained by naval blockades and sanctions. Portland, meantime, is the U.S.’s largest port for wheat exports, according to the Department of Agriculture. And if wheat doesn’t work out, there’s always Phil Knight maybe.

Hotseat: Lois Anderson Oregon Right to Life has won the victory it always craved. What will it do with the opportunity? BY RACHEL MONAHAN
rmonahan@wweek.com
Many in Portland raged and mourned June 24 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which had for more than a generation enshrined a nationwide right to abortion. But for Oregon Right to Life, the news was cause for celebration and an incentive to keep working. The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson allows states to make laws to limit abortion. Four states and the District of Columbia have laws on the books that actively protect the right to an abortion all the way through pregnancy. Oregon is one of them. Nobody understands that better than Lois Anderson, executive director of Oregon Right to Life. “There was really nothing that changed,” she says. But the three-way governor’s race in Oregon offers conservatives a rare chance at statewide power. So we asked Anderson what the group’s next priorities are and what the stakes are for the governor’s race where a Republican has the best chance of getting elected in a decade. WW: Where were you when you heard the Supreme Court decision? Lois Anderson: I was actually in Atlanta at the national Right to Life convention. So I was in a room full of pro-life advocates, and it was a joyful, very emotional reaction that I think all of us had. All of us understand that overturning Roe was just a step along the way. Now we still have a lot of work to do. There is a tremendous responsibility to have resources for women who are pregnant and are in difficult circumstances and realizing that this is controversial. We will hopefully be a force for bringing peace and not conflict. Oregon voters generally favor legal abortions or are pro-choice. Are there restrictions you think Oregonians would support? When we have asked about abortions in later pregnancy, between 20 weeks and later into the third trimester, the response has varied from 50% to 70% that say no, they don’t want it to be legal. What could a Republican governor do if elected in November? Every [legislative] session there seems to be something else that they need to spend money on, or they need to have a policy that just is 10
Willamette Week JUNE 29, 2022 wweek.com
“He was willing to burn down the whole health department unless they included abortion funding.” a very pushy abortion agenda from our perspective. So, first of all, if Christine Drazan is successful and wins the [governorship], she stops that march toward extremism. I remember when John Kitzhaber was governor and there were pro-life majorities. Republican majorities in the Legislature did pass a health budget that did not include abortion funding. And he vetoed the entire health budget. He was willing to burn down the whole health department unless they included abortion funding. And to me that’s a pretty extreme position.
veto to block that kind of funding? Yeah. How about judicial appointments? Should there be some kind of litmus test around abortion? I have a philosophical issue with litmus tests. I think that judges should truly be independent. What I would like to see is a good vetting of judges that have a proper view of the role of state government, a proper role of the judiciary. And my perspective that includes the freedom of the Legislature to regulate and put forward policies about abortion.
Are you calling that extreme because of his extreme support for abortion or because of the tactic? Taxpayer funding of abortion is outside the mainstream. There’s a minority of states that fund abortion with taxpayer dollars.
What would you imagine as a legislative priority should the unlikely happen and Republicans win majorities in the statehouse? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a worse political landscape for the party in power in my lifetime. Our priority would probably be the same as it’s going be if we don’t get a majority, which is to introduce legislation that restricts abortion in the later weeks of pregnancy.
Would you would like to see a pro-life governor, if they’re elected, use the line-item
How do you think overturning Roe will impact the governor’s race? For the majority of voters in the fall, abortion is not going to be their top issue. I think their top issue is going to be the thing that impacts them the most—in their family and their neighborhood—which might be homelessness, which might be crime and public safety, which might be the economy. It’s highly unlikely that issue is going to be abortion. [But this] is pretty historic, where we have three women, three going to be well-funded, well-organized campaigns. Two of those women are pro-choice. And you have two candidates, competing for the voters that care about abortion that are pro-choice and only one candidate who is for the pro-life voters. So I think it’s going to be a very interesting dynamic, and we’re certainly going to work as hard as we can to get pro-life voters to the polls and to vote for Christine Drazan. Do you worry at all that the Supreme Court’s decision will energize Democrats who are otherwise demoralized? There’s always a concern. I mean, voter behavior and dynamics are a moving target.

Hotseat: Jim Oleske What happens if Americans stop recognizing the legitimacy of the Supreme Court? We asked a constitutional scholar. BY AARON MESH
amesh@wweek.com
Was June 24, 2022, the day America returned to the laws of 1868? That’s the question Jim Oleske has pondered in the week since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the federal right to abortion, triggering the closure of clinics across the nation. Oleske is well positioned to consider what that means. He teaches constitutional law at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland. Before taking that job in 2011, he spent two years as chief of staff for the Office of Legislative Affairs in the Obama White House. He now specializes in religious freedom cases and has written on Christian objections to the legalization of same-sex marriage. What Oleske found most troubling in the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling wasn’t that five justices found no constitutional right to an abortion. They also declared that the 14th Amendment, which forbids the government from taking Americans’ life, liberty or property without due process, wasn’t written with abortion in mind so it didn’t apply. In fact, argued Justice Clarence Thomas, the court should reconsider any due-process decision that wasn’t intended by the authors of the 14th Amendment in 1868. That means birth control and same-sex marriage are imperiled, too. WW asked Oleske whether Americans would tolerate a trip back in time. But we started by asking him whether the right to abortion ever stood on solid legal footing.
OUTRAGE: Protesters of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision marched through downtown Portland on June 24.
BLAKE BENARD
WW: Was Roe v. Wade always an overreach by the court? Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg famously said the court chose the weaker argument when making that decision. Jim Oleske: That’s the subject of great disagreement. There are people who think it was rightly decided, but for the wrong reasons. The Roe decision did not rely, as Justice Ginsburg would have, on equality rights. It relied on liberty rights. To the extent her argument is that the right to abortion would’ve been on firmer ground if the court provided an equality rationale from the start for it: yes. And one of the interesting things about the dissenting opinion [on Dobbs v. Jackson], co-written by Justices Breyer, Kagan and Sotomayor, is that it very explicitly grounds its rationale in equality, in addition to bodily integrity and personal autonomy. And the dissent in some ways is channeling Justice Ginsburg by relying very heavily on notions of full equality for women in American society. The court’s decision on same-sex marriage drew not only on liberty rights, but also explicitly on equality rights. Do you think it’s on stronger ground because it drew on equality rights? Yes. At a very simplistic level, relying on two constitutional principles is better than one. So even if a court were to conclude, well, there isn’t a fundamental right as a matter of due process to same-sex marriage, nonetheless the court might conclude it’s discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation to prevent two people of the same sex from marrying. It is a matter of making sure you’re wearing a belt and suspenders. How concerned should our readers be that the court is systematically dismantling much of the social progress of the past 50 years? I think the reason the Dobbs decision is so important is not just the incredible importance of overturning the right to abortion specifically, but it represents a profound shift in the way the court goes about recognizing fundamental rights. So, you know, our Bill of Rights has a bunch of specific rights it mentions. But then, at the end, it says the fact that we’ve mentioned these rights doesn’t mean the Constitution should be interpreted not to protect additional rights. And the court has long found fundamental rights that are not listed in the Constitution. It has not in the past limited itself
to things that were part of the history and tradition in 1868. What’s so profound about Friday’s decision is, the court said that’s going to be the test: Was there a history and tradition in 1868 recognizing this right? And if not, well, it’s not protected. If you use that same reasoning, well, there wouldn’t be a right to contraception. There wouldn’t be a right to same-sex marriage. The logic of the court’s opinion certainly calls all of those cases into doubt. A lot of our readers look at these decisions and feel like we’re headed toward a theocracy—a Handmaid’s Tale sort of scenario. Is that reasonable? I understand the concern, but the cautionary note I would give is this: To the extent the court is saying, “We’re looking to history and tradition,” it’s the history and tradition of either 1868 or 1789. That certainly looks dramatically different than today. But on the other hand, we don’t necessarily think about the United States having been resembling a theocracy in 1789 or 1868. In fact, we broke from Europe on the very idea that we weren’t a theocracy. And so it’s a dramatic difference from today, but I’d be cautious about overstating. That might be cold comfort for women, who couldn’t vote in 1868, couldn’t own property in 1789. Is there reason to think we’re headed back to those legal standards? It should be no comfort. Many societies that don’t meet the definition of a theocracy have subordinated women and invoked religious arguments to justify that subordination, and laws in the United States treated women as subordinate to men for most of our history. To give just one example: Until 1972, California law provided that “the husband is the head of the family” and “may choose any reasonable place or mode of living, and the wife must conform thereto.” Although the right to vote is guaranteed to women by the 19th Amendment, it is fair to ask whether the test in Dobbs might permit states latitude to chip away at other rights to sex equality that the court has previously grounded in the 14th Amendment. Does the court risk delegitimizing itself in the public eye if it appears to be pursuing an explicitly political or religious agenda? Certainly, with the combination of adopting that approach and the speed with which it is doing it. On the one hand, what happened on Friday is not new. There were four votes to overturn Roe on exactly the same grounds in 1992. Chief Justice Rehnquist thought he had a majority to overturn Roe, but he lost it. He only had four votes. But he had four votes! And so, if you look at it that way, now we have a more conservative court and there are now five votes to do what the court almost did in 1992. On the other hand, based on developments just since 2016: Judge Garland not getting a hearing for [appointment to] the court, President Trump getting three nominees to the court after pledging to appoint justices who would overturn Roe. Yes, you could imagine the public looking at this and saying: “It’s just political. When the Republicans get their justices, the court won’t recognize abortion rights. And when the Democrats get their justices, they will recognize abortion rights.” What are the implications for American life if enough people decide the court is essentially illegitimate? It’s untested. We don’t know. The closest we’ve come is if Al Gore hadn’t accepted the Supreme Court’s decision in Bush v. Gore. Then we would’ve had a test of that. But it would be a fundamental change to our republic. Are there practical ways in which you can see that changing American life? I’ll leave that to the sociologists.

IN A FIRST FOR THE NATION, FIVE VIETNAMESE AMERICAN CANDIDATES ARE BOUND FOR THE OREGON LEGISLATURE.

On June 13, Daniel Nguyen became the last winner in Oregon’s May election. It took 27 days for Clackamas County elections workers to finish counting ballots in the Democratic primary for House District 38. Nguyen, 43, a Lake Oswego city commissioner and the founder of restaurant chain Bambuza Vietnam Kitchen, won by a mere 28 votes. The narrow margin wasn’t the most remarkable aspect of the result. Nguyen’s victory made him the fifth Vietnamese American in the election to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination to a seat in the Oregon House. Nguyen first noticed how many other candidates were Vietnamese at a filing-day party this March. “I was just super excited,” he recalls. “I was joking, ‘I’ll make sure that I always have a pot of rice going on in my office.’ Then another person volunteered, ‘I’ll bring fish sauce.’” Something extraordinary was brewing. “I know there’s a lot more Vietnamese Americans in California,” Nguyen says, “but are there even five Vietnamese Americans serving in the State Assembly in California?” There aren’t. In fact, Oregon is poised to have the largest Vietnamese American representation of any state legislature in the nation. Nguyen and his four fellow Democratic nominees are in safely blue districts where they’re likely to win in November. That means come January, five of the House’s 60 seats could be held by Vietnamese Americans—that’s 8%, roughly 10 times the population share of people of Vietnamese descent living in Oregon. Vietnamese residency in Oregon is substantial—especially in Portland, where Best Baguette outlets serving banh mi out of drive-thru windows display the cultural influence of 32,901 people. This is the nation’s 29th-largest city, but if its size were measured only by its Vietnamese population, it would be 15th. If the November general election plays out for these candidates, the concentration of power in Salem would be unprecedented for any nonwhite group, including those that are far more numerous with longer histories in the state. By all accounts, the rise of these Vietnamese candidates is coincidental, not coordinated. Each boast markedly different résumés: climate advocate, dentist, restaurateur, optometrist and school attendance officer. Their politics range from the left end of the Democratic Party to its business-friendly center. Several of them had never met until after filing to run for office. But the five candidates are bound together by a common experience: They are all children of refugees. At a time when the Jan. 6 hearings and rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court could sour many Oregonians on politics, these five still believe they can make Oregon better. Despite the infamously low pay and long hours, a citizen legislature is still an attractive proposition—and American democracy still shows flickers of life. “We have very different pathways to get here,” Nguyen say. “But we have this common thread going through all of our families: We all came from nothing. We had to watch our parents rebuild from nothing. With what little they had, they were able to create CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 a future for us.

TOP OF THE POPS: Thuy Tran campaigns in the Hollywood District. “With policy,” she says, “I can help change systemic problems that will help many lives.” 14
Willamette Week JUNE 29, 2022 wweek.com
huy Tran boarded a wooden fishing boat at the port of Vung Tàu four days before the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. She was 9 years old. Tran remembers sleeping on a mat laid in the hull of a Chinese tanker and, upon arriving, receiving a massive plate of food in an airport restaurant in the United States. Hoa Nguyen was born in Versailles, La., where her parents found refuge after fleeing Vietnam. (She’s no relation to Daniel: Nguyen is Vietnam’s most common surname.) She was “a convenience store kid,” working the till at her parents’ market in a tight-knit Louisiana neighborhood of uncles, aunts and cousins. Eventually, both women found their way to Portland’s Northeast Sandy Boulevard. That wasn’t unusual. In the 1970s and ’80s, thousands of Vietnamese refugees gravitated to neighborhoods along Sandy, like Hollywood and Rose City Park. Vietnamese arrivals headed to Sandy because of city policies that restricted new housing to neighborhoods near freeways and arterial roads, says Hannah Crummé, who heads special collections at Lewis & Clark College and volunteers with the history project Vietnamese Portland. “People were worried that so many refugees were coming in that it was going to

change the character of the city,” she says. Refugees were also drawn to Our Lady of Lavang Catholic Church, which served as the city’s Vietnamese cultural hub. By 1995, a WW cover story said the church had 6,000 parishioners, “the largest Vietnamese congregation north of San Jose.” This was due in large part to the Rev. Vincent Cao Dang Minh, who as pastor of the Southeast Asian Vicariate oversaw the resettlement of thousands of Vietnamese Catholics across Western Oregon. (In 2001, Minh’s superiors abruptly removed him from Oregon. Church bankruptcy filings reported by The Oregonian showed that police had investigated “credible and consistent” allegations that Minh had molested two young girls.) Hoa Nguyen arrived in Portland in 2000. She took Vietnamese language lessons at Our Lady of Lavang every Saturday. “They would cook Vietnamese food on the weekends to serve the families,” she recalls. “It almost felt like a restaurant. That’s where I felt connected to my culture.” Sandy Boulevard never rivaled the scale of Little Saigon in Los Angeles. But the street was soon lined with businesses run by Vietnamese immigrants: nail salons, bakeries, and stores selling karaoke CDs. (While a Japanese invention, karaoke became a phenomenon among Vietnamese teenagers.)
“Here in Portland, we’ve always hovered around 8,000 to 14,000 Vietnamese people,” says Jack Phan, a Portland tech entrepreneur who grew up near Mount Tabor and came to this country from Vietnam by boat when he was a year old. “And so it was definitely a lot closer. I go to other cities, Houston or Orange County; people know each other, but here in Portland it’s hard to not find a Vietnamese person that you don’t somehow already know.” Portland’s Vietnamese population gradually spread east—first to the Jade District along Southeast 82nd Avenue, then to Happy Valley. (Our Lady of Lavang moved to Happy Valley in 2020.) New generations arrived from Vietnam. In last year’s census, Oregon had the fifth-largest share of Vietnamese Americans in the U.S. And the two women who arrived on Sandy? They’re both running for the Oregon House this year. Tran, 56, became an optometrist. She started Rose City Vision Care at Northeast 45th Avenue and Sandy in 1995. She lost a House race to Jessica Vega Pederson in 2012, then successfully campaigned for the Parkrose School Board. Hoa Nguyen, 38, is an attendance officer for Portland Public Schools (“if I can convince a middle school student to go to school, I can do anything,” she quips) and also serves on the David Douglas School Board. She never forgot what she encountered along
Sandy Boulevard. “Vietnamese refugees who resettled in America started creating their own community for survival,” Hoa Nguyen says. “It feels like family. I never want to lose that.” Vietnamese Americans mulling runs for office this year had a role model. Rep. Khanh Pham (D-Portland) was elected to the House in 2020. She became the first Vietnamese American to serve in the Legislature and Oregon’s only sitting lawmaker of Asian descent. Pham, 43, worked on environmental justice at the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon for four years before seeking office. While there, she was a key architect of the Portland Clean Energy Fund, the 2018 voter-approved tax on corporations that collects millions of dollars for green energy projects in low-income communities of color. In other words, it redistributes wealth to blunt the health effects of climate change in the parts of town where she grew up. Among the five Vietnamese American candidates running this year, she’s the sole incumbent, probably the furthest left, and the only one who identifies primarily as an activist. “I had never really even saw myself in electoral politics, but [passing the Clean Energy Fund] gave me the confidence when the seat opened up soon after,” Pham tells WW. “I kind of knew all the stuff that it takes to win, and so I was more confident about my ability to run,
not just for myself, but really for the movement that we had built.” Her 2020 run was fueled by awareness of a warming planet. Pham remembers eating breakfast outside on an intensely hot day during one of her regular visits to family in Vietnam. The visceral experience of the heat—the sense of panic she felt when sweat did not evaporate from her skin because it was so humid—made her realize she had a responsibility to help people who could not retreat into air-conditioned condos. Those voices haven’t always been heard in the state Capitol. As recently as 2009, just two of the 90 members of the Oregon Legislature were people of color. Pham went to Salem representing House District 46, which runs from Laurelhurst to the Jade District. “I was the only Asian American legislator and did feel a heavy responsibility,” she says. “So many issues came up, and I felt like I was the only one who would really fight for it hard.” That burden increased in March 2021, when a white man killed eight people—six of them Asian women—in a shooting spree in spas outside Atlanta. The murders spurred a nationwide movement called Stop Asian Hate. In Oregon, Pham decided that meant a bias crimes hotline where someone actually answered the phone. She championed $2 million to staff the hotline Willamette Week JUNE 29, 2022 wweek.com

statewide. “I don’t know if anyone else would have responded,” she says, “and heard how much we were hurting after that. We were hurting beforehand. And this was during COVID, [with] increasing bias crimes against Asians who were blamed for the pandemic. But the murders really underlined the physical dangers that many of our community were feeling.” If there’s a common mission galvanizing the five Vietnamese American candidates on the ballot, it isn’t easy to find. They didn’t coordinate their campaigns—or, in many cases, realize the others were running. No two candidates were recruited to run by the same person. And their policy platforms span the ideological range of the Democratic Party.
“We have really different backgrounds and different issue areas,” says Khanh Pham. “I think that’s healthy, when people can see that we’re not monolithic.” Hai Pham, a Hillsboro dentist, wants to expand health insurance coverage after surviving his own cancer diagnosis. Thuy Tran also says expanded health care is her priority—especially after treating eye diseases among farmworkers. Daniel Nguyen believes whether Oregon supports entrepreneurship will decide how it emerges from the pandemic. Hoa Nguyen says more kids will show up to school if it’s easier to get there. So she wants to build more sidewalks and send more TriMet buses to East Portland. What’s a bit surprising is that all five are running as Democrats.
For decades, Vietnamese Americans were a reliable Republican voting bloc. Refugees loathed the communism that overran Vietnam, so they voted GOP in America—a phenomenon parallel to the better-known party allegiances of Cuban Americans in Miami. But that’s changing. New data from California journalism nonprofit CalMatters shows second-generation Vietnamese Americans are rapidly defecting to the Democratic Party. “There’s obviously a very important schism between the Republican older generation and the more liberal younger generations,” Crummé says. Adds Daniel Nguyen: “We always defer to our elders. But I think you’ll start to see more and more courage to say something that may not
exactly line up with what our parents might have said.” As to why Democratic Party voters are embracing Vietnamese American candidates, Portland pollster John Horvick says that has more to do with party leaders recruiting diverse candidates than with voter attitudes on race. With the exception of Daniel Nguyen, none of the candidates faced serious competition in the primary, Horvick notes, and none is likely to see a serious Republican threat in November. But Horvick says the children of refugees may change the party they now represent. “Three of them are small-business owners, and that’s not something that voters necessarily associate with the Democratic Party,” he says. “That second-generation immigrant story has a chance to shape the party narrative.” It’s a commonplace in American life that it takes a generation for new arrivals to grow roots deep enough to demand a political say. That may be what’s happening now among Vietnamese Americans. “It has to do with the second generation really coming of age,” Khanh Pham says. “I think that is an interesting story about what happens to immigrant communities as they start to become more assimilated, frankly, into social and political systems. We’re learning about how to build political power.” Hai Pham, the Hillsboro dentist, remembers tagging along with his parents as they worked any job they could find: picking berries, cleaning houses, emptying trash cans at doctors’ offices while he played with the stethoscope. He remembers how little they had, and how difficult it was for them to assert who they were. He says other families are going through the same thing. Pham wants to represent them. “Other BIPOC communities need to have a voice too,” he says. “I want to help give them a voice.” WW news intern Ekansh Gupta contributed reporting to this story.

Nearly one year after a heat dome caused Portland temperatures to skyrocket to 108, 112 and 116 degrees, setting a new all-time high record and killing dozens of people over the course of three days, the city once again braced for more sweltering conditions over the weekend. Fortunately, the wave was not as intense this time around, but temperatures did reach the 90s— and 100s in some outlying areas—which was enough to draw crowds to High Rocks, a popular swimming destination on the Clackamas River.

DRINK: Portland Craft Beer Festival
Road trips became even more popular during the pandemic due to their relative safety. The American pastime is still going strong this summer, and now a Portland wine club packs its bags and hits the highway. Cellar 503 hosts a pop-up in Hood River out of a modern, redesigned camper where you’ll get pours straight from a window cut in the side of the vehicle. The selection of bottles changes daily, and winemakers from the Columbia River Gorge are scheduled to be on hand to meet guests. The rig will be parked in Ferment’s lot, so head to the brewery for dinner after your tasting. Ferment Brewing, 403 Portway Ave., Hood River, 503-897-8013, cellar503.com. 4-8 pm daily, through Friday, July 1. $10 for a flight of four wines, $8 for a glass.
The festival that aims to bring as many Portland breweries together as possible in one place returns this week after a twoyear hiatus. The event, established in 2015, kicked off what was then Oregon Craft Beer Month (it has since been moved to February), a busy time for festivals both big and small. PCBF managed to carve its own niche by showcasing only beer from producers within Portland city limits. This year, you can expect to find a handful of newly established breweries along with the celebrated beer/cider slushie machine. The Fields Park, 1099 NW Overton St., portlandcraftbeerfestival.com. Noon-10 pm FridaySaturday, July 1-2. 21+. Noon-6 pm Sunday, July 3. All ages. $30 in advance includes a cup and 10 beer tickets; $40 at the gate. PETER DERVIN
GO: Waterfront Blues Festival The largest celebration of blues, soul, funk and R&B west of the Mississippi is also back in full force following a scaledback version in 2021. Now in its 35th year, the dance party will be held at its traditional venue—Waterfront Park. Highlights include a lineup of Grammy Award-winning artists, food vendors (Horn of Africa, Bates BBQ & Burgers, Phil’s Bento Bar, Nico’s Ice Cream), and adult beverage brands (Widmer, 10 Barrel, Union Wine).

WATCH: Demolition Man It would take an infinite amount of revisionist film-bro logic to argue that Demolition Man is good. Yet somehow, director Marco Brambilla’s brain-dead 1993 film about Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes fouling up a futuristic utopia manages to be delightful and endearing in its stupidity. Highlights include Sandra Bullock (as a perky police officer) and Stallone chowing down on a “rat burger.” Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton St., 971-808-3331, cstpdx.com. 7 pm Friday, July 1. $8.

Hot Plates WHERE TO EAT THIS WEEK.
1. CALLAO
1510 S Harbor Way, 503-295-6166, kingtidefishandshell.com/ callao. 2-7 pm Wednesday-Sunday. Now that it’s officially summer, you owe it to yourself to spend some time on the waterfront while snacking on light fare suited for hotter temperatures. Chef Alexander Diestra has made it a little easier to do just that with his new seasonal outdoor pop-up, Callao, which prepares traditional South American ingredients through a Japanese lens—think skewers, ceviche and a couple of dreamy desserts, like a coconut cookie sandwich and coffee jelly served with hazelnut whipped cream.
2. RINGSIDE STEAKHOUSE
2165 W Burnside St., 503-223-1513, ringsidesteakhouse.com. 5-9 pm Monday-Thursday, 4:30-9:30 pm Friday, 4-9:30 pm Saturday, 4-9 pm Sunday. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, RingSide will be open seven days a week. The iconic steakhouse remained closed on Mondays and Tuesdays once it resumed indoor dining, but let’s face it: Sometimes you really need to carve into a dry-aged, bone-in rib-eye to get your week started on the right foot. And June just happens to be National Steakhouse Month, giving you another excuse to drop in.
3. DOUGH ZONE THOMAS TEAL
HIP CHICKS: Chickpeas show up in many dishes at Rangoon Bistro, including this tofu salad with chile oil, lime leaf and sesame seeds.
Getting Back to Burma 1910 S River Drive, 503-446-3500, doughzonedumplinghouse. com. 11 am-10 pm daily. Dough Zone, a Seattle dim sum darling with its first Portland outpost, must have come in with some industrial-sized sage sticks to cleanse the former Lucier space: Early on, it seems to have what it takes to lift the yearslong funk there. Despite the remaining opulence, this is a casual business—a place to go with friends and order a smorgasbord. Fill a table with spicy beef pancake rolls, Berkshire-Duroc pork-and-shrimp steamed dumplings, and xiao long bao, which at $7.95 for an order of six is the best deal in town.
4. PIZZA THIEF
2610 NW Vaughn St., 503-719-7778, pizzathief.com. Noon-9 pm Wednesday-Monday. Mondays are slow at most bars and restaurants, but not at Slabtown’s Pizza Thief. During its de facto service-industry night, you’ll find a growing number of brewers, distillers and cidermakers who’ve made this spot their regular hangout. And they’re not just there to drink. Pizza Thief has found a way to tap into our city’s vast fermentation labor force and put members to work baking pies and pouring beers. The new collaboration series is called Meet the Maker Mondays, which features a different Sicilian-style pizza created by a craft beverage company every week.
5. POLLO BRAVO
1225 N Killingsworth St., 503-477-8999, pollobravopdx.com. 11:30 am-9 pm daily. During the pandemic, Pollo Bravo stuck it out for a while with takeout and delivery from Pine Street Market, but without downtown’s tourists and office workers, co-owners Josh and Sarah Scofield eventually decided to go on hiatus. Now the beloved brand is back in a stand-alone restaurant with its signature chicken and stalwart sides (radicchio salad, patatas bravas), as well as select tapas and a rebooted Bravo burger.

After five years as an impassioned weekend side hustle, beloved Burmese farmers-market stand Rangoon Bistro has finally become a full-blown restaurant. BY M AT T H E W T R U E H E R Z P H OTO S BY A L L I S O N B A R R
Rangoon Bistro is not a kooky restaurant iterating on crab puffs; in fact, it doesn’t serve the eponymous fried wontons. Instead, the place takes its name from Myanmar’s capital city from 1948 until 2006, the birthplace of two-thirds of the staff. After half a decade hawking tea leaf salads and chickpea tofu to farmers marketgoers on weekends—while holding down day jobs—the trio behind Rangoon Bistro now have a restaurant. The space, on a stretch of Southeast 50th Avenue just off Division Street, feels as warmhearted as the richly spiced noodles served within. Windows line the small room; modest but comfortable dark-wood tables and blue-cushioned chairs make for 30 or so seats. And while this may be a counter-service restaurant, don’t for a second take that as a cue that you’ll be anything less than genuinely cared for. Nick Sherbo, Alex Saw or David Sai will greet you personally—the three co-owners are the restaurant’s only full-time staff and are in no rush to change that: “None of us are interested in, like, ‘OK, how soon can we not be the people mopping the floor,’” Sherbo says. Though born in Myanmar, both Saw and Sai fled the country by age 15 and spent their formative years cooking in Thailand,
Malaysia and Singapore. Ironically, cooking everywhere but Myanmar has left them well equipped to cook Burmese food, as the cuisine is largely a mix of dishes adopted from its bordering countries. “Every day,” Sai says, “we make it a little better.” The dishes reflect this pursuit to perfect childhood memories of their native foods. Take, for instance, the cucumber thoke ($10)—a Burmese salad. Piles of shredded vegetables sit in blue-rimmed enamel dishes, not the least bit fussy but full of intention. What you might call cucumber noodles are dressed liberally in a bright yellow turmeric oil, slices of Thai chile lend a pleasant warmth, and a fistful of lemon basil brings an aromatic punch—poached shrimp ($4) are a not-so-optional add-on. It’s a salad that provokes both a gasp and a smile. Noodles (that aren’t cut from cucumbers) are obligatory at any Rangoon Bistro meal. The menu describes khao pyan sane ($9) as “one very large dumpling,” and it more than delivers on that promise. The gloriously “very large” rice noodle dumpling is stuffed with either ground pork or seasonal vegetables and slicked in sweet-tangy chili sauce. It’s the size of a baked potato and comes wrapped in banana leaves and, once sliced, becomes a lush bowl. The Burmese classic si chet khao swe ($16)—wheat noodles

1. JOLLY ROGER
1340 SE 12th Ave., 503-232-8060, jollyrestaurants.com. Noon-midnight Monday-Thursday, noon-1 am Friday-Saturday, noon-11 pm Sunday. Along the journey from family-friendly seafood restaurant to neighborhood sports bar, the Jolly’s most salable feature (beyond that iconic signage) has been an easy adaptability to changing tastes and demographic shifts over 60some years. The place does engender goodwill among a dizzying cross section of Portlanders for reasons difficult to articulate. Pay this dive a visit (or several) before last call. At some point in the next year, developers will knock down the building and replace it with a residential complex.

10111 NE Cascades Parkway, 503-2065765; 11800 NW Cedar Falls Drive, #110, 503-716-8663; vonebertbrewing.com. 11 am-9 pm daily. Cascade Station closed Monday. The two tap houses under the Von Ebert umbrella have just launched a Power Hour, and no, this isn’t the brewery’s version of the drinking game you may remember from your early 20s. Every Monday and Tuesday, from 7 to 8 pm, draft pours cost only $3, which is more than half off. Hell, with pints at that price, you may want to go ahead and revive the pregaming tradition.
3. SUCKERPUNCH
with pork shoulder and jowl—combine Saw’s culinary roots with his years of cooking carbonara at Il Lido, a famed Kuala Lumpur restaurant helmed by Michelin-starred Italian chef Andrea Zanella. The dish has all the textural markers of a pasta that means business, with full-flavored notes of fish sauce, black pepper-flecked, garlicky pork, and a bright flourish of mustard greens. Pork, you may gather, is king at Rangoon Bistro. Giant cubes of pork belly ($17) quiver as they hit the table, braised with mango until tender. A fenugreek- and nigella-spiked Punjabi-style mango relish falls over top—its sweetness balanced by the pleasantly bitter, still-intact mango skins and a Burmese chile-garlic crisp called balachaung. Chana dal, skinned and split chickpeas (resembling yellow lentils), are fried and served atop salads; powdered, toasted and dusted over chilled noodles (khao swe thoke, $12); and slow-simmered into a creamy sauce for rice noodles (tofu nway; $14, $16). When stewed and set, chana dal becomes Burmese or chickpea tofu. The tofu is served both as a salad—chilled and thinly sliced (tohu thoke, $12) and crisp-fried as dimpled flat fritters ($11) half the size of a playing card to dip in a vegan ranch. This dance all happens without hierarchy. Nobody is chef or front-of-house manager of Rangoon Bistro. All three co-owners welcome customers, cook during service, develop recipes for the menu, wash dishes and mop the floor—the energy that they are a capital-T team is palpable. “We’re not ‘cheffy’ at all,” says Sherbo, the crew’s lone American—a dutiful student of Burmese cuisine. “So our bread and butter is in doing all the little things right.” And that spirit drives the place. The atmosphere is easy and unpretentious, extremely casual and extremely hospitable. The music is loud, the smiles are big, and above all, the food is delicious. EAT: Rangoon Bistro, 2311 SE 50th Ave., 503-953-5385, rangoonbistropdx.com. 5-9 pm Wednesday-Friday, noon-9 pm Saturday-Sunday.
1030 SE Belmont St., 503-208-4022, suckerpunch.bar. 6-10 pm Thursday-Saturday, 6-8 pm Sunday. You will leave Suckerpunch as sober as you were when you walked in, but the thing is, Portland’s first non-alcoholic bar still works its magic: It’s a place where adults can enjoy some complex yet balanced cocktails in a cozy place and catch up with friends. Andy McMillan, who founded the business because he was desperate for better zero-proof concoctions around town, recently changed the three-item menu, so you’ll find some new options if you’ve already been.

Back by popular demand, Portland Cider’s Tangerine Dreamsicle was designed to trigger summertime notalgia, with its bright, tangy fruit juice swirled together with rich vanilla from Singing Dog in Eugene. It’s one of the brand’s most requested small-batch beverages ever, and it’s only available for a limited time. Drink up. Summer is too short.

POTLANDER
SKY HIGH Before watching this holiday weekend’s firework shows, smoke any of these strains to enhance the spectacle. BY B R I A N N A W H E E L E R
Most potheads know better than to get excessively stoned and actually handle fireworks, but smoking before viewing? That’s a different story, especially when Portland provides all manner of waterfronts, bluffs and buttes from which to gaze at professionally orchestrated July 4 pyrotechnics. But even if you’re watching your uncle light supermarket fireworks from the comfort of a moldy lawn chair in a front yard, the right strain of cannabis can make any light show considerably more impressive. This year, after the cookout but before the sparklers are passed around (you’re an adult; if you can handle a blunt, you can handle a sparkler), light up one of these cultivars known for bold, borderline psychedelic head highs that may or may not fuse you to your seat.
Amnesia Haze Something about the composition of Amnesia Haze makes for particularly euphoric highs, with many users reporting psychedelic effects as well. This hybrid strain has strong sativa genetics that can be traced back to Jamaican and Lao landrace strains, and is enhanced by a strong streak of Afghan Hawaiian indica, which users find both exciting and relaxing depending on their own genetics. Expect a sweet citrus perfume and a botanical, lemony exhale. BUY: Satchel, 6900 N Interstate Ave., 503-2064725, satchelpdx.com.
Fruity Pebbles OG Another potent hybrid with borderline psychedelic effects is Fruity Pebbles OG, a cross of Tahoe Alien, Green Ribbon and Granddaddy Purple. This cultivar is deeply euphoric, with effects that include a crystalline head high and an ultra-soothing body buzz that seasoned smokers enjoy in moderate doses during their working hours. However, the ceiling for this cultivar is skyscraping, so a few lungfuls, pre-fireworks, might deliver the perfect astro-traveler vibe. Expect a fragrance similar to Fruity Pebbles cereal. BUY: Brothers Cannabis, 1328 SE Morrison St., 503-206-4461, brothers-cannabis.com.
Headband Headband is named for its particularly heady effects, specifically a swooning cerebral high that, if overdone, can feel a bit like a constrictive headband. The effects
22
Willamette Week JUNE 29, 2022 wweek.com
are generally too spacey for prime time, but after hours, when the stakes are low and audience participation pretty much consists of whispered oohs and ahhs, this strain is exactly spacey enough to make a fireworks show feel like a sparkling magic carpet ride. Pro tip: A commonly reported side effect of Headband is crippling dry mouth, so be sure to refill your Nalgene bottle prebong hits. Expect a pungent, lemon-diesel nose and skunky exhale. BUY: Green Front Dispensary, 6834 NE Glisan St., 503-252-0036, thegreenfront.org.
Stardawg Bred from a cross of Chemdawg 4 and Tres Dog, the effects most commonly delivered by Stardawg (or Stardog) are giggly elation and a bouncy body high that eventually mellows into a relaxing buzz. While many users experience a bubbly high, some report couchlocktype effects, so puff cautiously—THC percentages in this strain can climb past 25%. Expect a sugary, gassy perfume and a pungent pine exhale. BUY: Cannabis Curb, 4069 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 971-255-1542, cannabiscurb.com.
Pineapple Chunk Pineapple Chunk typically delivers a heavy body and head high. Though this cultivar has a reputation for forcing relaxation, many users also report having a burst of cerebral energy. If you want to bask in the glow of a fireworks show without feeling frantic, a few tokes of Pineapple Chunk should put you in the right frame of mind. Expect a cheesy, funky fruit nose and a commensurately complicated exhale. BUY: Gnome Grown, 5012 NE 28th Ave., 971-3462098, gnomegrownorganics.com.
Vortex This neon-green cultivar is a cross of Space Queen and Apollo 13 that fully lives up to both its name and its parents’ names. Vortex is another peppy hybrid cultivar with potent sativa genetics that, overall, deliver a potent euphoria. Recreational users describe the high as occasionally disorienting, sometimes energetic and sometimes both (sounds like a party). Medicinal users celebrate this cultivar for its efficacy at treating bipolar disorder, depression, chronic pain and fatigue. Expect a funky fruit aroma and lingering, sweet tropical exhale. BUY: Weed Land, 4027 N Interstate Ave., 541904-0000.

RIGHT HERE IN RIVER CITY: Third Rail’s groundbreaking ensemble.
A Modernized Music Man Third Rail’s production of the classic musical features an entirely female and nonbinary cast. BY S A R A G I Z A
Third Rail Repertory Theatre’s magnificent production of Meredith Willson’s iconic musical The Music Man is its highest-profile play since before the pandemic. As you watch, it’s hard to tell who is more excited to be back at the theater: the audience or the cast and crew. While The Music Man encourages ticketholders to grab props and costume pieces as they enter, its electric energy comes from a cast of all female and nonbinary-identifying actors (Kymberli Colbourne, Crystal Ann Muñoz, Dru Rutledge, Maeve Stier, Madeleine Tran, Tara Velarde) who act, sing and toggle between different characters flawlessly. Muñoz stars as Professor Harold Hill, who isn’t actually a professor (he’s what we’d call a scam artist today). Armed with a suitcase and plenty of charm, Harold descends upon River City, Iowa, determined to convince the townspeople to cough up money to fund a boys’ marching band he claims he’ll conduct (in reality, he’s musically illiterate). Harold’s reasoning is seductive: He argues the town can prevent gang activity if its young ne’er-do-wells channel their energy into his band. What the people of River City don’t know is that he plans to swindle everyone out of their money for band instruments he can’t even teach their children to play—and be long gone before anyone catches on. Countless beloved actors have played Harold Hill, including Robert Preston, Matthew Broderick and, most recently, Hugh Jackman. Yet Muñoz plays Harold so easily it seems as if the role were written for her. From the first lines, she projects such confidence that it’s easy to momentarily imagine she and Harold are one and the same.
Of course, a Harold Hill is only as good their Marian Paroo. A skeptical librarian who is not so smitten with Harold as her neighbors, Marian (Dru Rutledge) initially refuses to buy what he’s selling. It’s a tricky role (she’s both Harold’s foil and his possible lover), but Rutledge showcases all of Marian’s personality traits with ease, from her steadfastness to her longing to her empathy. Rutledge shines especially brightly while singing “Goodnight My Someone”: “Sweet dreams be yours, dear/If dreams there be/Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.” The words alone are enough to touch the heart, but Rutledge’s vocal range makes the music downright operatic. As you listen, it’s difficult not to cry. The supporting actors, who transition smoothly from character to character throughout the play, are equally superb. It can’t be easy to embody both the mayor of River City and the mayor’s wife in a single scene, but the performers make such transformations seem effortless, deepening your appreciation of their talents. In any year, The Music Man (directed by Isaac Lamb) would be a palpable, intelligent and fun play from a hardworking cast and crew. Yet in 2022, it’s a much-needed distraction from a world awash in trauma. Third Rail’s production proves that The Music Man was never just a delightfully fast-paced and jaunty adventure. As Harold is gradually redeemed through his love for Marian, the play becomes a reminder of how bad can be transformed into good—a reminder the world desperately needs right now. SEE IT: The Music Man plays at CoHo Theater, 2257 NW Raleigh St., 503-220-2646, cohoproductions.org. 7:30 pm Wednesday-Saturday, 2 pm Sunday, through July 3. $25$45; pay what you will for anyone who identifies as BIPOC (promo code: BIPOC).
Imagine alternative rock had nothing to do with punk whatsoever and you’ll have a good idea of Failure’s music. Though they’re ostensibly a post-grunge band, their philosophy is more in line with the laser-show prog behemoths punk ostensibly rebelled against (it’s no wonder their cult classic Fantastic Planet was named for a stoner-friendly French sci-fi flick). Unsurprisingly, they’ve long been associated with Tool, but while that band’s music can resemble an indecipherable equation, Failure’s songs are as fun and freewheeling as a Flash Gordon serial.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 6:
Fatou Seidi Ghali of Niger’s Les Filles de Illighadad is one of the few female guitarists in the Saharan desert blues tradition (and one of the most innovative). Her band, active since 2016, combines the electric guitar theatrics associated with the genre—inspired as much by Hendrix and Van Halen as African traditions—with hypnotic village chants. Les Filles’ monster live album At Pioneer Works came out on Portland’s Sahel Sounds last year, and if the scorching energy of its songs moves you even a little, imagine how they’ll sound at Mississippi Studios.

ANIMATED MAN: Angus MacLane.
From Portland to Pixar PDX-born filmmaker Angus MacLane explains his vision for Lightyear. BY B E N N E T T C A M P B E L L F E R G U S O N
WW: In Lightyear, Buzz is struggling with whether he can make peace with life in the unknown. What fascinates you about that? Angus MacLane: The struggle for Buzz in Lightyear to me is really centered around ambition versus settling. “To infinity” means he’s going to ride the wave of accomplishment—he’s committed to his job and he’s going to keep going forever without ever stopping to live in the moment. It was always intended to be that Buzz gets a family. And at the end of the film, he’s content enough to stand still, even if it means acknowledging his own mortality. You’re not afraid to let the younger audience wrestle with those intense emotions? I think kids are really smart. I think it’s hard to make a movie geared toward children that you yourself wouldn’t 24
Willamette Week JUNE 29, 2022 wweek.com
You’ve been working on Lightyear since the year Finding Dory came out. Does it stagger you how much the world’s changed since then? As with all things, success or failure, all you have is yourself and the people you surround yourself with. It’s a challenging film in that way, because you have a character who, any time they would do something on their own, they fail. It actually requires them to do stuff with a group, because that’s the experience of film production. In some ways, it’s a metacommentary on the myth of the rugged individualist. In Buzz’s failure, he isolated himself very specifically, and he didn’t need to do that. What makes you and Andrew Stanton a good team? No one’s ever asked that. Andrew is a force of nature, and his brain works incredibly quickly. Seemingly with authority, he’ll sell ideas—and in some cases, that can be intimidating. But for whatever reason, he’s always been like a bigger brother to me—and I’ve always been able to go, “Yeah, but hold on,” and then we’re able to riff on things together. What’s really fun is when it’s not one of our movies, when it’s some other movie that we’re looking at together. He’s the reason I’m where I’m at, because he believed in me. But I think that his whole thing is, he doesn’t want to do someone’s job for them. Working with Andrew, you’re in the arena with him. You need to be moving as fast as he is—and he’s much smarter than I am, so I just try to keep up. But that kind of mentorship that I got from working with him, on many films now, is such a gift.

INDIE PICK:
While we wait to see if the 210-minute cut of Ari Aster’s Joaquin Phoenix musical Disappointment Blvd. sees the light of day, revisit Midsommar, his 2019 horror film about a grieving American (Florence Pugh) finding solace in a Swedish pagan cult. Is the film a literal-minded meditation on the joy of watching your cheating boyfriend burned alive? Or a clever metaphor for finding closure?

With all due respect to Casino Royale and Mission: Impossible–Fallout, Doug Liman’s The Bourne Identity is the best spy thriller of the 21st century. Despite being released 20 years ago this month, the film feels ageless—big-budget cinema still doesn’t get much better than the Mini Cooper-versus-motorcycles chase through Paris and the sweet, smoldering chemistry between Matt Daman and German star Franka Potente (Run Lola Run). HBO Max.
FUCK-THE-SUPREME-COURT PICK: CHRIS TEAGUE
Angus MacLane still wonders what would have happened if he hadn’t left Portland, where he grew up. “What if I would have stayed in Portland and settled down there?” he muses. “It’s a different choice. But there’s a sense of duty or otherworldly…this drive I have to make a movie and tell stories would prevent that kind of thing.” Calling the creation of cinema a “duty” might sound like an exaggeration, but MacLane is the director of Lightyear, the latest film from Pixar Animation Studios—and he’s worked on countless Pixar classics, including Toy Story 2 and 3. MacLane decided to make Lightyear after co-directing Finding Dory with his mentor, Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E, John Carter). Ostensibly a spinoff spotlighting Buzz Lightyear, the lovably pompous space ranger from Toy Story, Lightyear sends the character on an unexpectedly melancholy journey into the void. Stranded on an alien planet and separated from his crew by time dilation, Buzz watches his compatriots age while he remains frozen in youth. It’s a journey that resonated with MacLane, who felt time rapidly slip by while he immersed himself in the four-year process of directing a Pixar film. In a frank and friendly Zoom conversation, MacLane spoke to WW about the making of Lightyear—and his complex collaboration with Stanton, who executive produced the film.
enjoy. For me, it was personal in that the germ of the idea of time dilation is based around working in animation and completing these missions, finishing these movies—and taking so much time that four years go by. I would come back to Portland and things would change, and no one in Portland seemed to care or know about or recognize it. But everyone felt older and I felt like I was the same age, even though I wasn’t. So in a sense, each of these projects was a time jump that I was going through—and I was seeing time change, and that was the path not taken.
Culled from 80 hours of interviews and cellphone videos, Portland-raised filmmaker Sandra Luckow’s documentary That Way Madness Lies… shows how her brother Duanne’s life splintered after he developed late-onset paranoid schizophrenia. In 2017, Walker MacMurdo praised the film in WW, writing, “Luckow argues that mentally ill people are failed by a legal system that treats them as rational actors even when their behavior is plainly irrational and self-destructive.” OPB Passport.
Gillian Robespierre’s Obvious Child (2014) is one of the wisest films ever made about the right to choose—and also a tender and uproarious romantic comedy. Jenny Slate stars as Donna Stern, a standup comedian seeking an abortion, and Jake Lacy plays Max, her unfailingly kind potential paramour. Showtime.

TOP PICK OF THE WEEK
Cinema of Gay & Women’s Liberation in France
OFFICIAL COMPETITION An 80-year-old billionaire decides to ensure his legacy by financing the creation of an epic film about…anything. He hires eccentric filmmaker Lola Cuevas (Penélope Cruz), whose idea to adapt a Nobel Prize-winning novel called Rivalry sets the stage for Official Competition, a satirical adventure from Argentine filmmakers Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn. The film revolves around Lola’s collaboration with movie star Félix Rivero (Antonio Banderas) and revered elder theater actor Iván Torres (Oscar Martínez), who are cast in her film as rival siblings. Félix and Iván engage in a strange series of acting exercises (which include suspending a boulder over the actors’ heads as they rehearse), their egos creating comedic friction as Lola cleverly manipulates them. Cohn and Duprat, who wrote the script with Duprat’s brother Andrés, employ precise symmetry and overthe-shoulder shots in conversations to draw the audience in, while using deliberately vapid visuals to enhance the characters’ isolation. The result? A surreal environment that allows Lola, Félix and Iván to gradually fade away from anything resembling normal society, making Official Competition a fascinating and subtly hilarious film to watch. R. RAY GILL JR. Cinema 21.
CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH
In 2020, then-23-year-old Cooper Raiff became an indie film presence overnight by writing, directing and starring in Shithouse, a college dramedy about a deeply earnest freshman hooking up, missing Mom and figuring himself out. In his follow-up, Raiff advances a nearly identical character and worldview into post-grad angst—this time with Dakota Johnson and Apple TV+ in his corner. Wayward Andrew (Raiff) finds himself emceeing bar mitzvahs, which leads to meeting Domino (Johnson) and her autistic daughter Lola (Vanessa Burghardt)—and becoming the former’s love interest and the latter’s babysitter. While there’s sentimentality to spare, the movie’s broad comedy—from bar mitzvah brawls to Andrew roasting his stepdad (Brad Garrett) to tweens being cajoled into dancing with each other—plays well. Yet Cha Cha Real Smooth pauses routinely for Andrew and Domino to discuss their character development (he’s young and dumb; she’s scared to be alone), almost as if the script’s goal were life-coaching. And without Shithouse’s college bubble, it’s transparent that Raiff has orchestrated a farfetched story so stunning women will gaze longingly at him and he can weep over his own dialogue. Cha Cha Real Smooth isn’t necessarily a sophomore slump, but it’s certainly an indicator that Raiff should evolve his onscreen persona and formula before they strain credulity (and amplify his vanity) any further. R. CHANCE SOLEM-PFEIFER. Cinema 21, Apple TV+.
ELVIS
Early in Elvis, Baz Luhrmann’s bejeweled biopic of the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) hires Col. Tom Parker (Tom Hanks) to represent him exclusively. When the pact is made, the Ferris wheel they’re sitting on creaks to life and then, via movie magic, seems to transform into a spinning record. That jazzy juxtaposition is Elvis in a nutshell—it’s always in motion, surging through space and time like the Millennium Falcon in hyperspace. In 159 minutes, Luhrmann chronicles Elvis’ evolution from gyrating idol to Vegas sideshow, rarely stopping for a breath along the way. The film’s preference for speed over soul is exhausting and irritating, but it’s not without its pleasures. There are inspired edits—one sequence elegantly cuts back and forth between Elvis striding on stage in his legendary pink suit and experiencing spiritual ecstasy in a revival tent—and brazen performances, particularly Hanks’. Jowly and growly, his Tom Parker is a bloated Merlin to Elvis’ gleaming King Arthur. Despite his title, the real Parker never served in the military, but Hanks uncovers mesmerizingly grotesque truth in his charlatanism. When Elvis vows that his career won’t come between him and his mother, the Colonel smiles nastily at the audience and asks, “Wanna bet?” His crudeness and cruelty bring shape and texture to Luhrmann’s stretched-out film, daring us to wonder who the real king is. PG-13. BENNETT CAMPBELL FERGUSON. Bagdad, Cedar Hills, Cinema 2, City Center,
Eastport, Fox Tower, Joy Cinema, Lake Theater, Laurelhurst, Living Room, Lloyd Center, St. Johns, St. Johns Twin, Tigard.
SPIDERHEAD
Joseph Kosinski’s Spiderhead imagines a world where prison inmates volunteer as lab rats for experimental mood drugs in exchange for Silicon Valley-style office perks like appetizers, arcades and free run of the building. That may sound farfetched, but we already live in a world where this movie was released four weeks after Top Gun: Maverick (also directed by Kosinski), Chris Hemsworth shines as a villain, and Netflix is willing to turn a speculative George Saunders short story into a glossy, half-decent thriller. Miles Teller stars as Jeff, a prisoner in the oceanside pharma-carceral overseen by Hemsworth’s chiseled, buddy-buddy warden, who prefers that inmates call him Steve. Spiderhead is set mostly in the shadow of a two-way mirror, with Steve observing his subjects and mining Jeff for feedback. Unfortunately, Kosinski too strongly prefers the deluded, borderline satirical vantage of Steve to Jeff’s interrogation of this dystopia. Teller spends most of the movie deflated, while Hemsworth burns every ounce of available charisma to ensure we keep watching his snide, too-familiar science bro. Letting a streaming service swap emotions and data for stimulation and comfort seems like a safe bargain, right? R. CHANCE SOLEM-PFEIFER. Netflix.

"Citing Your References"--it's not exactly how it looks.
ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): My readers and I have
collaborated to provide insights and inspirations about the topic "How to Be an Aries." Below is an amalgam of my thoughts and theirs—advice that will especially apply to your life in the coming days. 1. If it's easy, it's boring. —Beth Prouty. 2. If it isn't challenging, do something else. —Jennifer Blackmon Guevara. 3. Be confident of your ability to gather the energy to get unstuck, to instigate, to rouse—for others as well as yourself. 4. You are a great initiator of ideas and you are also willing to let go of them in their pure and perfect forms so as to help them come to fruition. 5. When people don't get things done fast enough for you, be ready and able to DO IT YOURSELF.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I know three people
who have told me, "I don't like needing anyone for anything." They fancy themselves to be rugged individualists with impeccable self-sufficiency. They imagine they can live without the help or support of other humans. I don't argue with them; it's impossible to dissuade anyone with such a high level of delusion. The fact is, we are all needy beings who depend on a vast array of benefactors. Who built our houses, grew our food, sewed our clothes, built the roads, and create the art and entertainment we love? I bring this up, Taurus, because now is an excellent time for you to celebrate your own neediness. Be wildly grateful for all the things you need and all the people who provide them. Regard your vigorous interdependence as a strength, not a weakness.

last week’s answers
when you walk. Express 11 different kinds of laughs. Be impossible to pin down or figure out. Relish the openings that your restlessness spawns. Keep changing the way you change. Be easily swayed and sway others easily. Let the words flowing out of your mouth reveal to you what you think. Live a dangerous life in your daydreams but not in real life. Don't be everyone's messenger, but be the messenger for as many people as is fun for you. If you have turned out to be the kind of Gemini who is both saintly and satanic, remember that God made you that way— so let God worry about it.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): As a child, Cancerian author June Jordan said, "I used to laugh all the time. I used to laugh so much and so hard in church, in school, at the kitchen table, on the subway! I used to laugh so much my nose would run and my eyes would tear and I just couldn't stop." That's an ideal I invite you to aspire to in the coming days. You probably can't match Jordan's plenitude, but do your best. Why? The astrological omens suggest three reasons: 1. The world will seem funnier to you than it has in a long time. 2. Laughing freely and easily is the most healing action you can take right now. 3. It's in the interests of everyone you know to have routines interrupted and disrupted by amusement, delight, and hilarity.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, here's your assignment for the next three weeks: Love yourself more and more each day. Unleash your imagination to come up with new reasons to adore and revere your unique genius. Have fun doing it. Laugh about how easy and how hard it is to love yourself so well. Make it into a game that brings you an endless stream of amusement. PS: Yes, you really are a genius—by which I mean you are an intriguing blend of talents and specialties that is unprecedented in the history of the human race.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Novelist Lydia Peelle writes, "The trouble was, I knew exactly what I wasn't. I just didn't know who I was." We all go through similar phases, in which we are highly aware of what we don't want, don't like, and don't seek to become. They are like negative grace periods that provide us with valuable knowledge. But it's crucial for us to also enjoy periods of intensive self-revelation about what we do want, what we do like, and what we do seek to become. In my astrological estimation, you Virgos are
Willamette Week JUNE 29, 2022 wweek.com
finished learning who you're not, at least for now. You're ready to begin an era of finding out much, much more about who you are.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need the following experiences at least once every other day during the next 15 days: a rapturous burst of unexpected grace; a gentle eruption of your strong willpower; an encounter with inspiration that propels you to make some practical improvement in your life; a brave adjustment in your understanding of how the world works; a sacrifice of an OK thing that gives you more time and energy to cultivate a really good thing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This might sound like
an unusual assignment, but I swear it's based on two unimpeachable sources: research by scientists and my many years of analyzing astrological data. Here's my recommendation, Scorpio: In the coming weeks, spend extra time watching and listening to wild birds. Place yourself in locations where many birds fly and perch. Read stories about birds and talk about birds. Use your imagination to conjure up fantasies in which you soar alongside birds. Now read this story about how birds are linked to happiness levels: tinyurl. com/BirdBliss
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In accordance
with current astrological omens, I have four related suggestions for you. 1. Begin three new projects that are seemingly beyond your capacity and impossible to achieve with your current levels of intelligence, skill, and experience—and then, in the coming months, accomplish them anyway. 2. Embrace optimism for both its beauty and its tactical advantages. 3. Keep uppermost in mind that you are a teacher who loves to teach and you are a student who loves to learn. 4. Be amazingly wise, be surprisingly brave, be expansively visionary—and always forgive yourself for not remembering where you left your house keys.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you ever
wanted to use the Urdu language to advance your agendas for love and romance, here's a list of endearments you could use: 1 jaan-e-man (heart's beloved); 2. humraaz (secret-sharer; confidante); 3. pritam (beloved); 4. sona (golden one); 5. bulbul (nightingale); 6. yaar (friend/lover); 7. natkhat (mischievous one). Even if you're not inclined to experiment with Urdu terms, I urge you to try innovations in the way you use language with your beloved allies. It's a favorable time to be more imaginative in how you communicate your affections.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author John Berger
described birch trees as "pliant" and "slender." He said that "if they promise a kind of permanence, it has nothing to do with solidity or longevity—as with an oak or a linden—but only with the fact that they seed and spread quickly. They are ephemeral and recurring—like a conversation between earth and sky." I propose we regard the birch tree as your personal power symbol in the coming months. When you are in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms, you will express its spirit. You will be adaptable, flexible, resourceful, and highly communicative. You will serve as an intermediary, a broker, and a go-between.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People who don't know
much about astrology sometimes say that Pisceans are wishy-washy. That's a lie. The truth is, Pisceans are not habitually lukewarm about chaotic jumbles of possibilities. They are routinely in love with the world and its interwoven mysteries. On a regular basis, they feel tender fervor and poignant awe. They see and feel how all life's apparent fragments knit together into a luminous bundle of amazement. I bring these thoughts to your attention because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to relish these superpowers of yours—and express them to the max.
