SUMMARY:High Desert Speaker Series: Sagebrush Sisters
DESCRIPTION:Last June\, three stalwart Oregonian women – hale and hearty despite their combined 200 and some odd years – hiked more than 50 miles along the pronghorn antelope migration route between Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada and Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge in Oregon. The goal: fulfill a shared lifelong dream to raise awareness about the sagebrush stronghold and critical wildlife habitat that is the land between. \nThe Oregon Natural Desert Association’s High Desert Speaker Series returns to Bend on January 19th at 7pm with the short film Sagebrush Sisters\, a documentary about that hike\, and a panel discussion with the three hikers moderated by ONDA’s Greater Hart-Sheldon Region Coordinator Jeremy Austin. \nDoors open at 6:30pm at the Old Stone Church in downtown Bend. Sagebrush Sisters: Hiking the Greater Hart-Sheldon Region chronicles the journey of Alice Elshoff\, then 80\, of Bend\, Julie Weikel\, 68\, of Princeton\, and Helen Harbin\, 65\, of Bend. The event is free and open to the public\, and guests are asked to reserve their seats. \nHelp spread the word on Facebook!

SUMMARY:This Changes Everything\, the film
DESCRIPTION:Climate champions Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis explore the premise that climate peril is not about carbon\, it’s about capitalism.  Can we dominate nature\, take what we want\, and never pay the consequences?  Can we use the climate crisis to transform our failed economic system into something radically better? This film explores communities on the front lines of global warming\, challenges entrenched policies\, and considers how we can work with nature for a more just\, sustainable economy and planet. \n“Klein and Lewis paint a picture of a post-fossil-fueled\, post-capitalist future that seems not only within reach\, but like a place where we actually want to live.” – YES Magazine \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n$5 donation at the door.

SUMMARY:Locavore Food School Presents: Beginning Beekeeping for 2016
DESCRIPTION:Central Oregon Locavore proudly hosts the “Locavore Food School” program that is the culmination of many nutritionally-minded volunteers and community members including doctors\, nurses\, nutritionists\, chefs and alternative health care practitioners. Locavore’s Food School brings you monthly installments of nutrition and cooking classes. \nLearn How to Become a Phenomenal Backyard Beekeeper in 2016!\nThe class is intended for those looking to begin beekeeping this spring and for those considering taking up the hobby but seeking additional information.   We will go over some fun facts about bees\, cover equipment needs and the parts of a bee hive\, basic bee biology\, the various bee races\, when to start your hive\, where to place it\, where to get bees and the costs. This is the time of year to be thinking about bees\, as they are generally all sold out in the spring when one starts looking to get started! \nA brief overview of the threat mites are to bees\, and the topic of whether or not to treat (use chemicals in the hive) for mites will also be introduced. \nAbout Ron and Carolyn \nWe have been in central Oregon since 1977 and we each have educational backgrounds in the biological sciences.  The years of living here have taught my wife and I the ins and outs of successful gardening in central Oregon.  (Carolyn spent many years working for Doug at the Redmond Greenhouse before it closed)  We both enjoy working our large organic garden and though not official via taking classes\, Carolyn is certainly a master organic gardener in her own right.  You would not believe what she produces here in the high desert of central Oregon.  We work together but I tend more to the fruit trees\, grapes and berries while she focuses on the garden.  It’s through our organic gardening experience that we became interested in beekeeping and this season will be our eighth year of keeping bees.

SUMMARY:COTA Movie Night - Off The Beaten Path
DESCRIPTION:OFF THE BEATEN PATH – A Fatbike Film\nOld. St Francis School Theater\n9p.m. | $5 per person\, cash only | Minors accompanied by parent or guardian\n\nFatback Bikes and Pine Mountain Sports are rolling out our 2016 Central Oregon Trail Alliance Movie Night @ McMenamins series with a new fatbike film! We’ll kick off the new year with OFF THE BEATEN PATH at COTA Movie Night on Thu Jan 21! \nOff The Beaten Path shows that fatbiking is somewhat of a natural progression of mountain biking. Early mountain bikers were looking to create bikes that allowed them to ride on terrain and in conditions they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. Many now look to fat bikes for the same reason. \nProduced by First Track Productions\, Off The Beaten Path features a unique cast of characters and imagery of huge-tired bikes riding in places bicycles have never been. Shot in lots of beautiful locations\, their riding surface includes snow\, ice\, sand\, water\, rock\, pavement and… lots of big air! \nCome join us at McMenamins! We’ll have Fuzzy John Mylne in attendance and Bend-based Fatback fatbikes on display in the theater. \nMovie Night at McMenamins raises funds and awareness for Central Oregon Trail Alliance. This January Movie Night will designate all funds from the door be used for fatbike-specific trails in Central Oregon!

SUMMARY:Facing Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:The apocalyptic story of the current climate crisis is nothing new. What is new is the research emerging on why we have failed to act. Social psychologists have recently identified some of the reasons behind the inertia caused by fear\, guilt\, anger\, despair and helplessness. These are the emotions experienced by the very individuals ⎯you and I⎯ in whose hands it lies to make the necessary changes that will enrich our lives\, make us more resilient\, restore self-­‐identity\, strengthen our communities\, and ensure a livable planet both for ourselves and our more-­‐than-­‐human relatives. Join us on Monday nights to share and contribute towards this critical shift in consciousness. \nBased on Living Systems Theory\, “The Work That Reconnects\,” Deep Ecology and ancient spiritual traditions\, the class is guided by long-­‐time activist/filmmaker/yoga instructor\, Vanessa Schulz.

Join us on Monday nights to share and contribute towards this critical shift in consciousness. \nBased on Living Systems Theory\, “The Work That Reconnects\,” Deep Ecology and ancient spiritual traditions\, the class is guided by long-­‐time activist/filmmaker/yoga instructor\, Vanessa Schulz.

SUMMARY:How Much Inequality is Acceptable?
DESCRIPTION:Some economists have recently suggested that Americans are now living with the largest income gap in the history of the world.  This conversation will explore our beliefs and values around income inequality. Is it an incentive for hard work and invention\, an acceptable part of community life\, or does this narrative no longer make sense? At what point\, if ever\, is the gap too large?  Julia Hammond\, owner of Folklala and Oregon Humanities’ Conversation Project Leader\, will lead a conversation around these questions.  \nWhere: Wille Hall\, Coats Campus Center\, COCC Campus \nCheck out a full schedule of events for COCC’s Season of Nonviolence – Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Mahatma Gandhi\, Cesar Chavez\, and Chief Wilma Mankiller.

SUMMARY:Political Comic Will Durst
DESCRIPTION:Political comic Will Durst brings his new show “Elect to Laugh: 2016” to Bend Friday\, February 12\, 2016\, in a benefit performance for KPOV\, 88.9 fm. The show will start at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon\, 61980 Skyline Ranch Road\, west of Bend just off Skyliners Road. \nKPOV is offering event sponsorship opportunities to local businesses\, organizations and individuals who want to support High Desert Community Radio in the new year. Contact KPOV Development Director Bruce Morris at 541-322-0863 or bruce@kpov.org for information. The sponsorship deadline is January 20. \nElect to Laugh: 2016 is Durst’s comic look at the political season as it unfolds.\n“I am working with some of the best joke writers around\,” says Durst. “Donald Trump\, Ben Carson\, Rand Paul\, Hillary Clinton\, Jeb Bush\, Bernie Sanders\, and Barack Obama\, ably assisted by the 535 hard working satirists in Congress.” He promises that “every political stance will be taken to task” in his bipartisan 80-minute performance. \nKPOV has brought Durst to Bend twice before to sell-out crowds and rave reviews. Tickets to the February 12 show will go on sale in mid-January. \nThe Oregonian calls Durst “the thinking man’s comic.” The New Yorker magazine says\, \n“He’s perfected a verbal jitterbug of comedy\, taking on politics and war and rhetoric.” Fox News calls Durst\, “A great political satirist. One of the funniest guys around.” \nKPOV is a listener-supported\, volunteer-powered\, nonprofit community radio station that broadcasts at 88.9 FM and live on the web at kpov.org.
