SUMMARY:Beginner's Bee School
DESCRIPTION:Beginner’s Beekeeping Class in Central Oregon!\n(FRIDAY) FIRST SESSION -18 Oct 2019\, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM: Will cover the honey bee biology you need to know. \n(SATURDAY) SECOND SESSION -19 Oct 2019\, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM: Topics will include the life cycle of the hive\, mites\, how to get through the summer and winter and what you need to get started. \nEach Spring new Central Oregon Beekeepers marvel at their magnificent\, newly acquired honey bee colonies – and learn quickly that successful beekeeping in Central Oregon doesn’t always look like what they had initially imagined.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about how to be a good bee steward in our community. \nRegistration is FREE for COBKA membership – $20 non-member registration includes annual family membership!

SUMMARY:What can Indigenous Cultures Teach the Broader Public about Coping with the Climate Crisis?
DESCRIPTION:Kari Marie Norgaard will share her learnings from nearly two decades of working with the Karuk tribe in Northern California’s Klamath Siskiyou region.  Her new book\, Salmon and Acorns Feed Our People: Colonialism\, Nature and Social Action\, describes the relevance of Indigenous fire science\, and ethics of responsibilities for the broader public at this moment in time. What can we learn from these experiences? How can Karuk worldviews and experience of resisting colonialism and capitalism help move the broader public forward through climate trauma that challenges our self-identity\, destabilizes our western way of life\, and restrains us from real action on Climate Change? Are we open to a new narrative that could serve us better?

Come learn how you can support these local initiatives and be an advocate for change! \nWe will be joined by: \n\nGraham Zimmerman and Stephanie Violett\, climate advocates with POW (Protect Our Winters)\, will share why they worry about more than just powder days when it comes to a changing climate and the importance of climate action. Graham is a professional alpinist who has seen the effects of climate change around the world and Stephanie is a runner\, nutritionist\, and coach based here in Bend.\nZach Baker will give a quick update on the 2019 Clean Energy Jobs bill (HB 2020)\, including the final set of amendments and the cap and invest bill that will be before the legislature in the 2020 legislative session. Zach works for Climate Solutions who has been a leading voice on Oregon climate policy and has over a decade of policy and advocacy experience focused on protecting the environment and promoting public health.\nLindsey Hardy who co-chairs Bend’s Climate Action Steering Committee (CASC)\, which was charged with assembling the Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP)\, will provide an overview of the plan that will be presented to City Council for adoption this fall.

SUMMARY:Fill Your Pantry: Bulk Buying Pop Up Market
DESCRIPTION:The 4th annual Central Oregon Fill Your Pantry event is Saturday\, November 9th at OSU-Cascades Tykeson Hall! \nFill Your Pantry is a community bulk buying event created so YOU can fill up your pantry\, freezer\, and root cellar full of great local products for the winter.

SUMMARY:Transit of Mercury
DESCRIPTION:This Transit of Mercury will be visible – weather permitting – for at least several hours on the morning of November 11th. When Mercury transits the Sun\, you can see it as a tiny black dot silhouetted against the Sun’s disk. The only two planets that can be seen transiting the Sun from Earth are Venus and Mercury because they are the only planets which orbit inside Earth’s orbit. The Observatory will open at sunrise at 6:55am\, and track the Sun through telescopes until the transit ends at about 10am. The next Mercury Transit will be on November 13\, 2032. \nThis is a free event and no registration is required.

SUMMARY:Environmental Trivia and Scorecard Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Join the Oregon League of Conservation Voters for a fun night of environmental trivia and the release of our 2019 Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature! Come test your knowledge of Oregon’s environment\, politics\, and OLCV history\, or just come to learn a thing or two at the last Pints and Politics of 2019. \nAbout OLCV’s Scorecard: \nFor more than 40 years\, our Environmental Scorecard has helped Oregonians hold their legislators accountable. Our State Senators and Representatives are graded on their environmental track record—how they’ve voted on bills impacting Oregon’s wildlife\, waterways\, people\, and places—and are given both a score for the session and a lifetime score. \n*This event will also double as our volunteer appreciation event. If you volunteered with OLCV in 2019\, we can’t thank you enough for your support and your first beverage is on us!*
