The great Power Outage of 2016 – that’s what they’ll call it for

generations to come. so i’m minding my own business, out in lebanon sometime early in the afternoon, and poof, the lights go off. i’m thinking, that’s cool, they don’t have technology out here… probably have to let the hamster out of the wheel for a pee break now and again, am i right? well, it turns out the hamster took off for a joyride in the boss’ car, and i was left to my own devices for like seven hours or so—and all my devices require power. what did i take away from the experience? a newfound appreciation for wooden toys. No wonder people played with them back in the day… there was literally nothing else to do. Just like it is with election season, sometimes you have to choose your best worst option.

Last Friday night, firefighters spirited away one lovable dog beast from an apartment fire on Lilly Avenue. The two students that live there were thankfully not at home (a notion objected to by the dog, i’m sure). KGw out of Portland seems to think that every house fire has a dog that runs in and saves its owners, but i suppose out in these parts reality tends to strike. life is hard enough with an event like this. wishing the occupants luck towards a speedy return to normalcy.

On Thursday, a Corvallis woman looked through her peephole and believed there was a man in dark clothing outside, so she called the cops. turned out it was just a bug on the lens. Apparently she told officers she was nervous because of a recent attack. i think we’re all really glad it was just a bug.

It looks like Travelocity has given corvallis the prestigious rank of fourth in a category of small, metro-area beer destinations. because these things are put together by computers rather than humans, we can forgive being off by one in terms of how many breweries we’ve got. after all, for some inexplicable reason it says albany and lebanon are also included. calapooia brewing is awesome, of course… but wtf, travelocity? How dare you.

Ed Ray, Oregon State University president, is here to inform

you that you have the right to free speech. Well, free so long as it does not impede traffic or

disrupt classrooms…and the proper authorities were notified beforehand.

Ray announced the acceptance of the OSU community’s freedom of expression in a recent email, referencing the current resurgence of political activism while paralleling it alongside protests against the Vietnam War, labor rights, and gender equality.

He deemed freedom of expression, “essential to Oregon State’s commitment to ensure inclusive and excellent educational opportunities.”

Following this announcement was

a link to the university’s brand-new values statement—a guide to how the school will ensure safe activism and rules for the appropriate time, place, and manner of “speech activities.” And cue: confused head tilt.

In addition, OSU is hosting “Freedom of Expression at OSU,” a panel discussion for anyone with concerns about activism at the university. History professor Chris Nichols will be facilitating the discussion from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 17 in the Memorial Union Horizon Room.

The illustrious Mars Viking missions are the topic of this

November’s Science Pub. Speakers from the Viking Mars Missions Education and Preservation Project will be sharing their own experiences as well as discussing the Viking missions’ heritage and their impacts on engineering, science, and culture. Join project founder and executive director Rachel Tillman along with project volunteers Pat Demartine, Al Treder, and Peggy Newcomb for a history of the future.

As the first American spacecraft to land safely on the surface of Mars, the Viking 1 Lander snapped that famous first photo of its foot—then set out across a rusty horizon foreign to humankind. Viking 1 and 2 were launched less than a month apart late in the summer of 1975. Each was carried into orbit atop a Titan III-Centaur rocket—the same two-stage launch system that helped toss Voyager 1 and 2 out of our solar system.

The two Viking orbiter-lander spacecraft pairs took less than a year

to reach the red planet. Once there, they looked for a reasonably boring spot to land. Both landers separated from their orbiter partners, entered the atmosphere, deployed parachutes, and successfully guided themselves to the surface with hydrazine-powered thrusters designed not to disturb so much as a single Martian microbe on their landing spots—in 1976.

The Viking missions sent back more than just pictures. On-board instruments allowed NASA scientists to explore Mars for signs of life as well as learn about Mars’ landscape and atmosphere. Lucky for us, the landers’ radioisotope thermoelectric generators lasted much longer than the 90 days for which they had originally been designed. The final transmission from the Viking 1 lander was received in November of 1982; the Viking 2 lander ceased transmitting in April of 1980.

There was just one other flight-ready Viking lander ever built, and it was saved from the recycling bin by then 11-year-old Rachel Tillman. The last of the three-legged beasts,

as Carl Sagan described them, along with other materials collected and preserved by the Viking Mars Missions Education and Preservation Project are now available to the public.

Old World Deli hosts Science Pub at 341 2nd Street downtown on the second Monday of most months. It is sponsored by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Downtown Corvallis Association, and OSU’s Terra magazine.

We’ll have something to say about the election next week.... Currently, we’re too sad to write a damn thing.

advoCaTeThe C

aNd sO IT BegINs… Although, by the time you read this, it may be over. In which case, well, that’s what you get for reading a weekly I guess. Via a report that I read somewhere by some dude, election officials in the fine state of Oregon (you may have heard about it) have been put on alert regarding some sort of voter suppression “scheme.” By scheme, of course, they mean robocalls. No, nothing as classy as being tied to the train tracks, or a well-oiled mustachio. Just some automated calling system that’s telling Oregonian voters (mostly Republicans) that their registration may have been marked as inactive, along with some stuff about how so-and-so Republican lost by one percent and blah blah blah. And just when I was about to…

...blame it on the Republicans, word from the street comes surging in, and it appears as if our Secretary of State, Jeanne Atkins, has said that it does indeed look like the Oregon Republican Party is behind the nefarious shenaniganery. Okay, guys, who the hell taught Art Robinson to use the computer? And they said it couldn’t be done.

The Oregon Repubs have admitted to making robocalls, but there are conflicting reports regarding the scrip and so yadda yadda yadda, the investigation surges on. Ironically, they’re now claiming that statements made by Atkins are actually suppressing Republican votes. It’s a big ol’ suppression party up in here, folks. The GOP is all pissed off that people are being told to ignore the calls, saying that they were meant to spur inactive Republican voters into full-on beastly vote mode (hashtag TRUMPRAGE). Next,

the Democratic Party of Oregon has called on the GOP to turn over info like call lists to the Oregon Department of Justice—and its big brother, the US Department of Justice, so that they may incriminate themselves early enough to influence the election in the Democrats’ favor and… ugh.

Next.

derBy ChaMPIONshIP rOLLs INTO POrTLaNd See what I did there? Derby is popular around our local pond, thanks to the Sick Town Derby Dames, but Portland just got a mega-dose of the action thanks to playing host to the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Tournament Extraordinaire (I may have embellished that a bit). The primary event was a 12-team tournament in which people skate around a track and smash into each other while doing things. Honestly, I’ve tried to follow the rules for years now, but no luck. Jammers, blockers, the pack, pivots, crossovers, back-blocks, whipping… can’t do it. Thankfully, you don’t need to get it to enjoy it. You don’t even need to know the winners, which I will now prove by not posting who they are. As Captain Planet once said, the power… it’s yours.

What you should know, however, is that Portland’s Rose City Rollers won the championship in 2015

(yes, I realize I just mentioned a winner)… and that of all sports, you’re not going to find one that has spread across all six continents, yet retain such intense levels of community. There’s a friendly, all-inclusive culture to roller derby, and we’re proud to have hosted the championship here in Oregon.

arresTs Made IN MILLION MasK MarCh In the organizers’ own words (taken from their Facebook page):

“We have all witnessed the corruption of government this last year, from rigged elections to the Police killing civilians with impunity.

We take to the streets this November 5th to voice our anger. We wear masks not to hide ourselves but to show solidarity with each other, not as individuals, but as an anonymous, collective movement.

Around the world, cities will be gathering; PDX is one of those cities. Let the world know we stand together with the faceless and the anonymous against government corruption.

If possible, let’s try and wear black or dark clothing in order to take away from the individuality and create a more anonymous gathering.”

I dig it. Reminds me of that first Apple Macintosh commercial, from back in ‘84. Only nobody runs in and explodes the screen with a sledgehammer, because it’d eff up the solidarity something royal. Another thing that didn’t happen in the commercial was six arrests, resulting in charges of interfering

with peace officers, disorderly conduct, and criminal trespass. Arguably, that could have occurred after they said, “Cut.”

According to police, you need a permit if you’re going to hold an event that blocks or restricts the movement of people. In this case, traffic. According to the protesters?

“We do not ask the permission of those that we take to the streets to protest against.”

Haters gonna hate, I guess.

yOu shaLL NOT Pass Sounds much better as “Thou Shalt,” but I don’t want to screw up a Lord of the Rings quote, okay? Anyway, quick win for oil train opponents here: a special little county within the Columbia River Gorge has said, “Oh hell no” in response to Union Pacific Railroad going, “Hey, can we do more track stuff, please?” Could be because of that train that flew off the tracks and exploded last year, spoiling water and causing evacuations.

In their face.

Marys Peak is a landmark known to

everyone in Corvallis, and certainly many in the surrounding area. On Tuesday, Nov. 15, the mountain will be the topic of a free

presentation by a pair of local experts at the Old World Deli, beginning at 6 p.m.

Oregon State University professor Andy Moldenke

will speak on the unique

ecosystem at the top of Marys Peak, a location that is home to wingless grasshoppers, rare arthropods called ice crawlers, and other critters. Ken McCall, former Forest Service overseer of Marys Peak, will also be there to discuss the little-known story

of why Corvallis has some of the purest, cleanest drinking water in the region.

An intriguing event paired up with some great food and drink from Old World Deli? This is what some might call a “no-brainer.”

The Arts Center currently has a small show—so small you

might miss it on your way to the Main Gallery—but it’s ambitious and elicits big conversations. Through vastly different approaches, Eugene artist Santiago Uceda and OSU graduate Shar Fagersten contemplate images related to our understanding of “home.”

Uceda’s paintings are surreal, suggesting that home isn’t always a physical space, but rather a combination of “emotional attachment…sounds, smells, objects, memories, culture, community.” In this show, Uceda considers his own experiences and sense of belonging by thinking of home as a non-static concept.

Fagersten, on the other hand, has taken simple and beautiful photos of everyday objects found in the

home, such as a vase, and captioned them with ideas of what it means to be a woman: “Don’t get fat. A man doesn’t want a fat wife,” for example. Fagersten wanted to know about the advice women have received and, after hundreds of responses, realized that the recommendations have changed very little over the years. According to Fagersten, the same underlying message is still

being spread to women: “You’re not acceptable as you are.”

At its core, this show is about identity—how we form our own sense of who we are and where we come

from, and how others try to do that for us. Do we feel a sense of connection to the place we live or to the way others see us? Uceda’s idea of home may not be as simple, but his exploration is a strange and satisfying glimpse into the mind of a wanderer. Fagersten’s choice “to photograph common objects that are also overlooked” shows that the meaning behind words is often ignored or so ingrained in us that we don’t notice it at all. Both artists want us to pay attention to the everyday things that shape our lives.

If you like to think about how we take up space—both in our minds and from the perspective of others—this collection is a great place to start.

Advice for Women with Santiago Uceda and Shar Fagersten will be on display in the Corrine Woodman Gallery through Nov. 26. For more information, visit http://theartscenter.net/.

Farmers, programmers, and restaurant owners, we want

you… to check out TheFarmCart.com. FarmCart is a brilliantly conceived management tool that allows local producers to connect with local consumers. Beyond merely connecting, FarmCart allows produce pictures to be uploaded, prices to be set and adjusted, and even includes a chat function for deal-brokering. The catch is that it is absolutely free.

Since you likely have more questions, let us turn to FarmCart co-founder Froggi VanRiper. She explains that in its original iteration, FarmCart was developed by her husband for a farmer friend in Illinois where she was working. It was spurred in part by the need for a better wholesale management tool. Prior to this technology, VanRiper’s farmer friend would receive orders via phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets colloquially known as “freshsheets.”

“It gets confusing and hard to manage [all the orders], so we got everything in one place online,” said VanRiper.

The benefits of FarmCart became obvious within a year and it was relaunched as a larger project with multiple users in mind. “We envisioned it becoming a network—a national network where consumers

can find farmers producing local food,” she added.

That was nearly three years ago. Since then, FarmCart has attracted a number of farmers in Illinois, South Dakota, Michigan, and even one in Massachusetts. Although there are none in Oregon yet, FarmCart is the new kid on the block.

“We just arrived here and I’ve been pounding the pavement and visiting the farmers’ markets. Many people create their account during the wintertime when they can spend more time on the computer,” VanRiper said.

VanRiper explained that right now many producers are still working in the fields, but she expects to get a surge of Oregonians later this year.

We mentioned programmers and the fact the service is completely free at the top—what was that about? If you are one of those folks who think that creating a successful website allows you to sit back and make money, I have bad news.

“I have learned a lot about the implications of an online system just from watching my husband do the developing and hosting,” VanRiper said. “I thought that providing this

free service would require very little effort on our part, but it is surprisingly expensive to maintain.”

There are several competitors developing similar programs, but they charge commissions.

“We like to think we have a better product, but it’s going to be dependent on people finding it beneficial enough to voluntarily donate,” she said.

Less concerned with the competition than she was excited to be near OSU, VanRiper has plans to continue growing FarmCart into a national network, and said they will be looking for programming students in the future.

Whether you are a farmer looking to present an organized and cataloged display of produce, a restaurant or healthy eater craving local goodies, or an IT student in need of some hands-on experience, the FarmCart has what you need… or, at the very least, it can connect you with someone who does.

Check out www.thefarmcart.com for more info and to create a free account—you could be a trendsetter here in Oregon.

An eclectic mix of promising new shows are lined up for this month’s Corvallis

Arts Walk, which somehow seems a little shorter this month, but maybe even the more satisfying. Sadly, as Studio262 plans to close early next year, this will be that gallery’s last reception, though they appear to be leaving in style—featuring no less than 20 artists this walk.

Always one of our favorite freebie date night recommendations, this month’s walk promises to be especially impressive.

2Nd sTreeT

TEAL ARTISTS CO-OP 328 SW 2nd St. • 4 to 8 p.m. Teal Gallery reinserts itself into downtown Corvallis every year and is always showing the work of new artisans. Gift-oriented, they carry fine leather goods, handmade soap, new jewelry, and woodwork. This arts collective showcases many Willamette Valley artisans. Their newest artists are painter Dale Draeger and glass artist Kelly Nutter.

RACHEL URISTA STUDIO 340 SW 2nd St., Studio 12 • 4 to 8 p.m. Abstraction Squared. A new collection of square-shaped paintings, furthering the ideas of line, geometry, shape, and color from the mixed-media artist. Snacks and drinks served.

FRED AMOS STUDIO 340 SW 2nd St., Studio 12 • 4 to 8 p.m. Fred Amos is working on a new series of Garden Art paintings inspired by the Corvallis Garden Quilt Show and the Avery Rose Garden. He is combining floral images with garden figurines to produce bright, colorful, and imaginative paintings.

BRITTNEY WEST STUDIO 340 SW 2nd St., Studio #3 • 4 to 8 p.m. See Brittney West’s new thought-provoking art created while at Vermont Studio Center’s month-long, artist-in-residency program in October. From paintings to installation, collage to sculpture, there’s an array of activist artwork waiting for your eyes.

ART IN THE VALLEY 209 SW 2nd St. • 4 to 8 p.m. Celebrate! Artist Phyllis Johnson says she uses texture and colorful backgrounds to inform her subject matter, and that this show is her response to the increasingly negative mood in our world today. She and the gallery hope the depictions of our fellow Earth inhabitants will serve as a reminder of the joy of living.

MAJESTIC THEATRE 115 SW 2nd St. • 5 to 8 p.m. Alt. Ed. Illustrations. Showcasing work from Laurel Thompson, Annie Mitev, and Anna Wills, all sharing a commonality of being homeschooled. The Majestic comments that these three artists are forces of nature, each with unique talents.

MadIsON aveNue

Bison! Bison! • 354 SW Madison Ave. • 5 to 9 p.m. Manuel Jaramillo: Recent Works. These works promise a subtle balance of simple, graceful composition with infinite layering and heavy knife work. Each piece draws its unique personality from an emotional connection to the process and medium.

STUDIO262 • 425 SW Madison Ave., Ste. H-1 • 4 to 8 p.m. Holiday Art Show. The last Studio262 event with a reception for their Holiday Art Show during the Corvallis Arts Walk. Features over 20 local artists. This lovely “Buy Local Art” event continues through Dec. 30 with artists bringing new work in throughout the show.

LIVING ROOM GALLERY 425 SW Madison Ave. • 4 to 8 p.m. Exhibiting local artist Jessie Crawford presents wood burning and other works. Also features performances from American Tribal Style Bellydance!

paper and other experimental substrates.

JEFF HESS STUDIO • 460 SW Madison Ave., Ste. 16 • 5 to 8 p.m. Working Studio. Preparations are underway for the January show at the Arts Center. Working studio this month with more mess than bling on display, but 20% of all sales go to Standing Rock.

THE ARTS CENTER 700 SW Madison Ave. • 4 to 8 p.m. Reception for With Wings and Tails. Sweet, endearing works, some addressing animal life in a more realistic way. Includes works in clay, prints, woodcarving, sculptures, paintings, drawing, and photography.

CaMPus

FAIRBANKS GALLERY • Fairbanks Hall, 220 SW 26th St. • 4 to 8 p.m. On the Brink. Kerry Skarbakka’s practice lies at the intersection of performance-based practices and staged photography. Over the past 15 years he has used his body as a physical metaphor, dedicating his artistic energies towards constructing scenarios channeled directly from the anxiety and fear associated with simply being human. Issues of uncertainty linked to war, equality, identity, politics, economy, and the environment are some larger examples of these external strains.

Skarbakka’s images can be found in the collections of institutions such as the North Carolina Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Photography and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. He serves as an assistant professor of photography at Oregon State University.

favorites the Space Neighbors are funking up a frenzy in anticipation of their new album’s release at Bombs Away Cafe, Saturday, Nov. 19. The Neighbors have dubbed their new and second CD Crucial Pie, featuring eight live and four recorded tracks that fans will finally get to play from groovy gadgetry.

The Space Neighbors have been funking things up in Corvallis for seven years, since the band got its start in 2009 when bassist John “Yohan Solo” Nevarro posted on Craigslist, looking to form a reggae/hip-hop group—ultimately leading him to drummer Rigel “VII” Woodside.

Over time, some Neighbors have come and gone, and the band now consists of eight members, six of which—including Nevarro and Woodside—I had the utmost pleasure of sitting down with to get the spew on their new album, their bigger picture fixins, and how the Space Neighbors define themselves within the local Corvallis music scene.

The sPaCe NeIghBOrs ‘COaLesCe’ “You’ve used that word 12 times already,” vocalist Melanie Reid quips.

The Space Neighbors are indulging in a boisterous round of witticisms as we sit in the lounge area of their studio, while percussionist GalxC, in an upbeat and impassioned manner, describes the band’s synergy of sound as a coalescence, composed of synchronized vibes that produce an oozing force of positive energy on crowds as they perform.

As a dedicated fan, I know these vibes, and am reminded of my first encounter with the Neighbors’ “disco gypsy jam funk” sounds—I remember being transported to an

otherworldly plane of boogie, where the get-down jives feverishly spread whole body through all in the crowd.

“It’s really been fun how the crowd likes this music, and it’s a big part,” said piano player Brent Carmer.

Guitarist Nick Revard later explained the band and crowd dynamic as “a really push-and-pull kind of scene,” where the band and the audience feed off of each other, letting the funk feels free-flow between them.

“When I’m singing as a performer on stage, I make a lot of eye contact... it makes a lot of impact,” said GalxC.

Revard added, “Sometimes I’ll be taking a solo and I’m like totally distracted looking down… and I’m trying to end it and Rigel’s, like, not having it.” The others confirm an

improvisational technique on stage and in the studio.

“It’s definitely that improvisation and working off of the old, and that’s where the retro-future classics comes to mind, because it’s very old and absolutely building off tradition, but also new,” GalaxC explained.

“Yeah, it’s all original but everyone feels like everyone’s heard it before,” said Revard.

At its core the band maintains a traditional funk beat, while implementing varying styles of music and sound, from hip-hop and R&B to jazz, disco, and rock.

“We all come from really different musical backgrounds,” said Carmer, who described Nevarro and Woodside as “hardcore funk,” while he and Rivard share jazz

roots. GalaxC has meddled in heavy metal, grunge, and a whole list of other genres.

INTergaLaCTIC CreaTION (Or COaLesCeNCe, IF yOu WILL) The Space Neighbors practice and record for two or more hours twice a week in their studio, paying critical attention to detail and finetuning their music.

“Usually what happens is we bring it in and we run through it … [and] someone will interject something that makes it shift a lot, and then we’ll keep working it until it becomes a song that it was meant to be,” said Revard.

“It also seems like no matter who wrote the song we all lyrically rotate around Melanie.” Revard cops to stealing Reid’s harmonies and her having to continuously create new ones, pointing to (in my opinion) one of the most exciting aspects of any Space Neighbors song. Each shifts seamlessly between bouts of distinct sounds and harmonies.

The band records during each studio session, and will often take breaks to stake out any prime parts. “We go back and we listen to the good parts... and take some seed that will become a song,” Woodside explained. Woodside is the master of this particular trick.

“He seems to remember like, ‘Oh, it was minute 53 that we got to the real groove,’” said Revard.

“Well, because he’s a scientist,” added GlaxC.

Revard grinned, expanding, “He’s a groove scientist.”

Woodside shrugged. “I have a PhD in Groovology.”

“Yeah, definitely his PhD in groovology comes in handy,” Revard confirmed.

hOW ‘BOuT ThaT reCOrd? “Oh, it’s gonna be settin’ records,” said Revard.

The band has been sitting on a sizable stash of songs, composed since releasing their last album, Escape Pod, in 2011. The band admits to being slow when it comes to releasing their music and lists people giving them a hard time as their number one incentive in creating Crucial Pie, featuring such Space Neighbors classics as “Higher Power” and “Little Green Man”.

“A lot of people are banding our music and getting mad at us for not releasing,” said Woodside. The songs on their newest album, he admitted, were recorded “like a year ago.”

“We’re so slow!” Nevarro exclaimed.

“Hey, that’s fine,” said GalaxC, “That’s how you do good space barbecue—every vegetating barbecue needs time to marinate.”

Revard nodded. “It takes a minute.”

The Space Neighbors already have enough songs recorded for a third CD and plan to pump up production.

“We’re gonna be on a new tight

schedule here, so we’ll be crankin’ ‘em out at least yearly,” said Revard. I can’t tell if Revard is being serious, but am assured that the Neighbors are set on pumping up production.

LIvIN’ IN The MOMeNT The Space Neighbors don’t have merchandise or swag to offer fans, and they don’t often travel far outside of Corvallis for gigs, but not out of laziness. The Neighbors are simply a “live in the moment” type of band.

“I think a lot of it is about the live show,” said Revard.

“Yeah, we really try to bring a party,” Carmer added.

“We don’t have enough time to tell the crowd when the next shows are cause we’re just really in the moment for them,” said Revard. When the band finds time to browse their Facebook pictures, “It’s like a religious experience or something,” said Revard, “[like] some crazy church,” seeing the funk taking over the band and their crowds, the fervid release in their postures.

The Space Neighbors have a steady base of supporters, some of whom

they are proud to say sing along to their songs.

“They show up and they’re there and they sing! They know the songs!” said GalaxC.

“It’s amazing cause it’s like a 19th-century band where you can’t find their lyrics online, which means [people] can only learn them live when we’re playing,” said Woodside.

“It’s a very hard town to make it in as a band.” Revard and the others can think of only a few other artists that have lasted as long as them.

“We’re kind of like the barnacles, we’ve stuck around for a long time,” said Navarro.

As far as local venues, they’re not naming any favorites, but fondly remember gigs spent at Tyee Wine Cellars, Thyme Garden, and Sky High rooftop in August. However, Bombs is the band’s home base, and where they play most often.

“It could just be some street corner and we’d be super happy,” said Revard. “We bring such a positive vibe, it doesn’t matter what your age is, you just listen to our music.” The band reaches a wide demographic

and has played for diverse crowds, young and old.

“We really are community-focused in that we spark some life in the people we are reaching,” said Nevarro. “There’s a lot of important social issues right now and really the dream would be that we can make a big impact, at least locally.”

The Space Neighbors will be projecting light years of positivity come November 19, during the release of their album at Bombs. They will also be playing at OSU’s CGE Brew-Off, hosted at Odd Fellows Hall in downtown Corvallis, Saturday, November 12. The Brew-Off will feature 30 local homebrewers and kegs from local breweries, and all proceeds will go to the Linn-Benton Food Share.

Join the Space Neighbors for the official release of their new album, Crucial Pie, at Bombs Away Cafe, Saturday, Nov. 19, 9 p.m. to midnight. Don your tinfoil hats and spacesuits and get ready to funk the freak out, fellow beings.

For more information on the CGE Brew-Off, visit http://cge6069.org/brewoff/. Tickets are $15 a pop.

Science Sparks Art, otherwise known as SPARK, is an art and

science collaboration between the Oregon State University research community and the Corvallis Arts Center (CAC). The goal of SPARK is to showcase the intersections of the arts and sciences, and the ways in which they interact. Over the course of the school year, there are over 60 events, including lectures, videos, musical performances, and hands-on activities. Here’s what’s coming up in November:

LeCTure: ‘ChaLLeNgINg aLgOrIThMs OF OPPressION,’ NOv. 16 Dr. Safiya Noble, assistant professor in the Department of Information Studies, will present on the topic “Challenging Algorithms of Oppression: Black Annihilation and the Internet” on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 3:30 p.m. at the Valley Library. The lecture will build off Noble’s research on Trayvon Martin, fatally shot at age 17 by a neighborhood watchman in Florida in 2012, while arguing that media spectacles of African Americans

being detained and murdered by police and private security are an insufficient intervention for oppression, and are used to generate news ratings and advertising revenues.

For more information on Dr. Noble’s lecture, visit http://calendar.oregonstate.edu/event/120388/.

aLgO-rhyThM haLFTIMe shOW, NOv. 19 On Saturday, Nov. 19, the OSU Marching Band will present “The Art in Science, the Science in Art,”

a special half-time show at Reser Stadium illustrating how the arts and sciences overlap. The all-day event will feature algorithmic music composed by a mathematician and formations based on drawings by artist M.C. Escher.

COLLege OF sCIeNCe dIsTINguIshed LeCTure, NOv. 21 Stanford physicist and Corvallis native Carl Wieman will discuss “taking a scientific approach to learning and teaching science,” Monday, Nov. 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the LaSalles Stewart Center. The lecture will explore new approaches needed to teach and learn science in the 21st century, and more meaningful ways of measuring the quality of teaching. Wieman’s prior research includes university-level atomic physics and science education. He has received numerous awards, including a Nobel Prize in physics in 2001.

Chintimini Wildlife Center will be hosting a presentation

Sunday at the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library to discuss predation management here in the American West. From 7 to 8:30 p.m. mammalian predator expert John A. Shivik will discuss the variety of desired outcomes and wildlife management strategies surrounding coyote, wolf, bear, and cougar control and conservation efforts.

Conservation groups highlight the importance of managing natural resources to benefit mammalian predators and other keystone species, while different groups demand the destruction of wildlife in conflict with human interests. As large carnivore species populations expand alongside their human cohabitants, the landscapes on which we animals exist is changing dramatically. Farmers rightfully worry about protecting herds of livestock—and more frequently, non-rural folk are beginning to have less desirable

wildlife experiences with meat-eating mammals.

But exactly how useful is lethal force in preventing future conflict with wildlife? How ecologically effective are such removal methods? What other alternatives to lethal removal of predators are out there? Hear more about the costs and benefits of our current management policies, and what scientific evidence has revealed about the topic.

Chintimini Wildlife Center cares for injured and orphaned wildlife with the intention of releasing animals back into their native habitats. Through education and volunteer experiences, they foster connections between wildlife and humans, right here in Corvallis.

Calapooia Brewing Company, 140 NE hill st., Albany. 7:30 p.m. Free.

Wild Hog in the Wood sounds like a horror movie, but that’s probably just because boars were to my childhood what lobsters are to my nowhood. Just go with it, okay? What you have here is a bunch of growing local legends, rocking out in the style of your classic Southern string band. You show up, drink a bunch, stuff yourself, and… enjoy. It’s fairly simple, so try not to mess it up. For information con carne, visit www.calapooiabrewing.com. For lobsterless info, visit www.calapooiabrewing.com. Yes, those are both the exact same sites. I’m ashamed of myself.

FunK JaM and LaGunITas BrEWInG TasTInG

Bombs Away Café, 2527 NW Monroe Ave. Tasting starts at 6 p.m. Music starts at 9:30 p.m. Free.

Honestly, what am I supposed to say here? There’s funk. It’s in the form of a jam. And then there’s Lagunitas, and you can taste it. With your taste buds. Consider this event a mini vacation, of sorts. Sit back, relax, drink a sizable but safe amount of ridiculously scrum-diddley-umptuous beer, and let the funk soak into your bones. Or just your skin, if that’s too personal. No pressure. Maybe just the first layer of your hair or something. For some scrum-diddley-umptuous information, visit www.bombsawaycafe.com.

ThE TurnTaBLE EnaBLEr

Cloud & Kelly’s Public house, 126 sW 1st st. 10 p.m. Free.Normally I don’t do this, but: event of the week. Three unique turntable artists that grew up on our very own Happy Trails, all coming together for something you’re definitely going to find nowhere else. All three will be spinning of a mix of tiny, rare, or oddball records that typically find their fate in the trash. From Steely Dan and Led Zepplin, to psychedelic music from France, to instructionals on how to shoot ducks, children’s records… you name it. Zero computers, six turntables, all strange and eclectic 45s. The kind of turntable nerdery we’ve all been craving. For info, visit www.cloudandkellys.com.

Bombs Away Café, 2527 NW Monroe Ave. 9:30 p.m. Cost: $8.

Oh hell yes. Portland “junkbox blues duo” Hillstomp is known for basically hitting up the back woods, dumpsters, and outhouses of American music, from which they recycle an amalgam of great sounds into a brand-new genre of sorts. What’s it like? Well, it’s referred to as a bit of a DIY hillbilly blues stomp. And honestly, that’s pretty damn accurate as far as words can take you. For up-to-date info, visit www.bombsawaycafe.com.

Are your soles clean? Check. Do you want to dance all willy-nilly in a blend of freestyle and ecstatic motions and gestures? Check. You cool with a family-friendly event? Check. Want to let loose and basically boogie until you drop, either with those clean shoes or your bare feet? Triple check. I mean, I can’t do it… I’m banned from dancing within the city limits. But you? Be there. For info, visit www.downtowndancecorvallis.com.

sunday, November 13No Class: The Role PlayiNg game-iNsPiRed imPRov show

Majestic Theatre, 115 sW 2nd st. 7 p.m. Cost: $12 for adults, $10 for students and seniors.

In their press release, the Majestic asked, “What do you get when you combine Corvallis’ own Improv at the Majestic performers, a ‘pen and paper’ style role playing game rulebook, and a dungeon master?” My original answer included a few excited expletives, as I’m sure did yours. This is actually a second show of a crazy awesome event, featuring plenty of incredibly hilarious improvisational theater, à la Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. Let’s spit some mead (their words, not mine… I try to get it down my throat, personally), roll some dice, and improv like there are orcs on the hilltop and we have precious few hours to save the wizard, or something of that sort!

Majestic Theatre, 115 sW 2nd st. 7:30 p.m. Free.

I freaked out the last time the Majestic had a read-through of Mort, and now I’m freaking out over this. In fact, I might just freak out a little more later just for good measure. Here’s the facts: if you know Terry Pratchett, you’re good. If not, you should. Period. Nobody does ultra-clever fantasy/comedy like Pratchett. And now the Majestic is putting on a show of one of his most beloved Discworld novels, Mort. And you’re invited—to audition! Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of the book, then follow this link for a cast breakdown (including DEATH, who is the best ever) and audition info: www.majestic.org/event/audition-terry-pratchetts-mort.
