SUMMARY:First Round Table Issue: Bend's Transportation System Plan
DESCRIPTION:What: Round Table with progressive Council candidates\nCandidate Panelists: Anthony Broadman\, Melanie Kebler\, Kat Mastrangelo\nSubject Matter Expert: Mike Riley\nHosted by: Indivisible Bend and The Vocal Seniority\nDate: Monday\, May 18\nTime: 10:00 am\nWhere: Zoom. Simply click this link to join the session (the meeting ID and password are embedded in the link):\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83207840178?pwd=bnpEVEpIckkraWdQWThMUTkzOUU2dz09 \nThe Issue: \nThe City of Bend is required by law (as are all cities) to periodically develop\, adopt\, and implement a 20-year Transportation System Plan (TSP) that will set the vision and direction for how people and goods will move around the city and that complies with federal and state regulations. For the last two years\, a citizen committee\, the Citywide Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC)\, has been meeting regularly with City staff and transportation consults to develop that plan. \nWhat’s At Stake:\nOver the next two months\, our City Council will be making the final decisions on what that plan will be. Once adopted\, the TSP becomes a part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan\, which is the guiding document for everything that the City undertakes. \nWill they agree to the use of an equity lens in determining who benefits from and who pays for transportation projects and programs? Will there be an emphasis on completing connected bicycle and pedestrian networks or on more infrastructure for cars? Will there be an aggressive approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions or just business as usual? Will there be sufficient investment in the use of technology to better adapt to newer and as yet unknown ways of moving people and goods in the City? The answers to these questions and more are all on the line. \nThe Panelists:\nOur candidate panelists for this Round Table are (incumbent in parentheses): \nAnthony Broadman\, candidate for Bend City Council\, Position 2 (Bill Moseley) and lawyer working for Tribal Governments\, Indigenous Rights\, and Bend Businesses. \nMelanie Kebler\, candidate for Bend City Council\, Position 1 (Justin Livingston) and local crime victims’ rights attorney. \nKat Mastrangelo\, candidate for Bend City Council\, Position 4 (Bruce Abernethy) and Executive Director of Volunteers in Medicine. \nOur SME is Mike Riley\, a co-chair of CTAC and Executive Director of The Environmental Center. \nAgenda: \nWelcome and a quick review of the protocols below\nMike Riley gives an overview of the issue and What’s At Stake\nIntroductions of panelists and their opening statements\nFloor opened to Q&A

SUMMARY:A Wild Ride with Explorer George Kourounis
DESCRIPTION:Hold on tight as explorer George Kourounis shares his 20+ years of tracking down and documenting the most fearsome natural forces on planet Earth. \nChasing tornadoes in Oklahoma\, hunkering down in the eyes of hurricanes like Katrina & Sandy\, descending deep into menacingly active volcanoes…George is the guy who runs into places that most sane people run away from\, all to showcase the beauty and power of Mother Nature. George will be sharing stories\, images\, and videos from his most extreme expeditions in more than 75 countries spanning all seven continents. \nWhen: Wednesday\, May 20\, 5:00 – 6:30 pm (includes time for Q and A) \nWhere: Zoom\, of course. Here’s the link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81619591840?pwd=bGdiY1Fob2JlRXF5Rk5wUnlTSkxEZz09 \nCurious about George Kourounis\nGeorge Kourounis is Explorer In Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and has hosted 50 episodes of the globally-broadcast TV series “Angry Planet.” As a storm chaser & explorer\, his adventures have been seen on Discovery Channel\, The Weather Network\, CNN\, BBC\, Science Channel\, History Channel\, and more. He led a National Geographic expedition to fiery Darvaza gas crater in Turkmenistan\, the “Doorway To Hell” that has been burning nonstop since the early 1970s. The science mission to look for extreme bacteria led him to become the first and only person to have ever set foot at the bottom of the flaming pit.\n\nGeorge has given 4 TEDx talks worldwide\, received several medals for his explorations\, addressed the United Nations Environmental Emergencies Forum\, and regularly appears in various science and adventure TV shows.

SUMMARY:The History and Science of Glacier Change in Western US and a Peek into their Future
DESCRIPTION:The Pacific Northwest is home to the most glaciers anywhere in the continental US. When did glacier observations start and who started it? When did science discover glaciers here in the West? The history is surprising and the glaciers in Oregon played a major role. The cast of characters includes the famous and not so famous\, and controversy brewed for more than a decade. Part of the controversy included the question\, ‘What is a glacier?’ Since their ‘discovery’ glaciers have been observed off and on since the start of the new century in 1900\, mostly by amateur hiking clubs. These early observations have provided key data in understanding about how the glaciers have changed over time. While they are all retreating generally\, there is one major exception\, a new glacier\, less than 50 years old. \nDr. Andrew G. Fountain is a professor of Geology and Geography at Portland State University where he has conducted glacier research for the past 25 years. Prior to that he was a glaciologist with the US Geological Survey. \nBrought to you by COGS (Central Oregon Geoscience Society)

SUMMARY:InFARMation: Future of Food – Local Perspective on Building Food Security
DESCRIPTION:According to the Oregon Food Bank\, in 2019 one in eight Oregonians was food insecure. This means that one in eight of our friends\, neighbors\, fellow citizens has been unsure of where their next meal is coming from or has had to forgo buying food in order to pay for other necessities like housing or utilities. COVID-19 has exacerbated some of these problems and deepened the need for already vulnerable populations like young children\, LGBTQ\, Black and Latinx individuals who are twice as likely to face food insecurity. \nLuckily\, we live in one of the most agriculturally productive states in the nation! Oregon’s producers and food security institutions are working together to find creative solutions. Between farmers selling to food banks during the crisis\, regional food banks growing food on their own\, and food justice concerns permeating the work of food system advocates\, there are some inventive ways that producers are helping to get food into the hands of people who need it. \nJoin Friends of Family Farmers to learn more about the role of small farms and supporters in creating a robust and resilient food system in which everyone has access to good food. \nPanelists for the evening will be: \nKaty Giombolini\, Statewide Network Developer for Oregon Food Bank:\nKaty comes to her role at Oregon Food Bank with experience in farmer training and producer development. She works to build connections to funnel food to OFB all over the state and was recently at the forefront of a statewide campaign to help local farmers sell food directly to food banks. She will share information about the current state of food security in Oregon and efforts to combat the problem. \nTed Purdy\, Youth Farm Coordinator at FOOD for Lane County:\nTed is the coordinator for the innovative Youth Farm program at regional food bank FOOD for Lane County. This 5 acre educational farm is both a training ground for young people to learn the joys of direct market farming and a resource for the food bank itself.

SUMMARY:The Beaver Believers-A film about the bucktooth engineers that sculpted North America
DESCRIPTION:The Beaver Believers is an award-winning documentary that tells the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists – a biologist\, a hydrologist\, a botanist\, an ecologist\, a psychologist\, and a hairdresser – who share a common vision. They’re all working to restore the North American Beaver\, that most industrious\, ingenious\, bucktoothed little engineer\, to the watersheds of the American West. The film is set in arid\, high desert environments much like what we experience here in Central Oregon\, so it has a regional feel to it. \nWatch a trailer at:  www.thebeaverbelievers.com
