A

head of the November 2018 election, then-candidate Patti Adair ran for Deschutes County Commissioner on two key platforms: Fiscal conservativism and being anti-marijuana. Since winning that election—by a narrow margin— and serving on the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, she’s held true to being against marijuana growing in the county. On being a fiscal conservative, however, we have to call her bluff.

Adair and her fellow commissioners have now been part of two lengthy battles to shut down legal marijuana in Deschutes County. They’re costing the County’s taxpayers thousands of dollars in staff time fighting something that voters in this county, and those across the state, have already deemed to be an industry worth investing in and supporting.

As our Smoke Signals column this week details, the Commission has already been at odds with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals over what have been characterized as new time, place and manner regulations that would be the most stringent in the state. Couple that with the Commissioners’ recent decision to put a measure on next year’s ballot, asking local voters whether they want to “opt out” of allowing more marijuana farms and/or production facilities in the county, and we’re talking

about significant amounts of our tax dollars going toward fighting something that voters already said they want. This has become a Commission that, regardless of the cost, is now arbitrarily choosing to delve into social or lifestyle issues, rather than sticking to interpreting the letter of the law.

We agree wholeheartedly with the local Farm Bureau, which has argued that landowners wanting to farm on designated farm land should be able to do so. If you buy property in a farm zone, expect agriculture— whether that farm raises pigs or pot.

If the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners wants to cater to the vocal county residents who have flooded their meetings, begging for an opt out, the commissioners should encourage those residents to take the time to gather signatures and get the issue on the ballot themselves. Using county resources and staff time to bring this issue to voters just a few years after they already decided it is a waste of taxpayer money and continues to increase friction and animosity that local government could be working to abate.

In a region that continues to grow, allocating more resources to manage mental health services—to name just one issue more important than this one—would be a better use of county funds.

GUEST OPINION IN RESPONSE TO: DESCHUTES RIVER ALLIANCE

The July 24 Source Weekly contained a guest column by Greg McMillan, president of the Deschutes River Alliance, that needs a response. It is absolutely true that attempts to reintroduce salmon and steelhead into the upper Deschutes basin above Lake Billy Chinook have been extremely disappointing. It is important to understand, however, that adult returns for salmon and steelhead have been plunging in the entire Columbia River basin and much of the Pacific Northwest. The truth is that many anadromous fish runs are on the path to extinction due to habitat loss, dams, over harvest, hatcheries and the heating of the Pacific, which has led to the collapse of the food web in many areas. This has nothing to do with local reintroduction efforts.

The claim was made in the opinion piece that water quality in the lower Deschutes has been degraded by reintroduction efforts. The DRA filed a lawsuit against Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs claiming water quality violations. This suit was dismissed for lacking “material fact.”

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has been conducting fish surveys of the lower Deschutes since the 1970s. Surveys since reintroduction efforts began show that trout in the lower Deschutes are at least as healthy, abundant, and are now larger than they were before operation of the Selective Water Withdrawal tower in Lake Billy Chinook. This is due to a more natural temperature profile in the river providing a longer growing season for fish and the food they eat.

The claim was made that a superior solution would be to truck returning anadromous fish directly to the Metolius, Crooked and middle Deschutes rivers rather than releasing them into Lake Billy Chinook, thereby eliminating the need for the SWW tower and surface water releases into the lower Deschutes. Specifics of how this might work for juvenile fish were not provided.

In order to effectively capture most out-migrating fish before they reach LBC, new dams would have to be built at the mouths of the Metolius, middle Deschutes and Crooked rivers. This is clearly not

going to happen. Using devices like screw traps is unfeasible. Juvenile salmon and steelhead head to the ocean in the spring, during times of high flows. PGE estimates that even on the Metolius, a relatively stable river, their screw trap only catches 10% of the out-migrating fish. Screw traps are sampling devices, not capture devices.

If the DRA’s concern is water quality then they should be working with other environmental groups to clean up the Crooked River which has been identified as the primary source of pollutants causing algae blooms in Lake Billy Chinook. Studies have shown that most of those pollutants come from fertilizer-laden agricultural runoff from Ochoco and Central Oregon Irrigation Districts. Efforts are underway to improve Crooked River water quality; I hope the DRA can join the effort. We should clean up the Crooked, not bottle it up in LBC, a popular recreational destination.

LAND PLANNERS AND CITY

It [is] interesting that a Land Use Planner/ City sent out a letter stating “informational meetings based on preliminary plans,” and it states the plans may be altered prior to submittal of application.

That is a joke. At the meeting we are told their proposal, the Planner/City want to replat a 7-home subdivision into a single lot and shove in a +48 unit multifamily avoidable housing project on the other side of regular homes’ fences. They need a variance to add 6 feet so the building can be 41 feet high, the ground is 8’ higher than the existing houses to start.

The question they could not answer, what will this do to our property value?

The parking is also a joke, the lot will fit 68 vehicles and the rest can park on NE Holliday. Which is already full of cars on the street and the traffic is heavy going to and from Purcell.

They say it is not a done deal [funny], it has been designed, which tells you it is a go. The land use planner/ City need to shove more people into smaller spaces on the EAST side, and no one cares or listens to the people in the existing neighborhood.

Have they ever done a replat on a development on the WEST side? Build them in

Juniper Ridge, or the corner of 15th and Reed market, or by the new high school on 15th, or along Victor Place.

We have NO say, they have decided, we are stuck with it.

IN RESPONSE TO EDITOR ON: IMMIGRATION

In the August 1 edition letter writer Paul deWitt posed a number of questions relative to immigration and essentially the rule of law. But rather than addressing a single question, Source Editor Nicole Vulcan responds that “we’d like to see the data,” used by deWitt to support his claim that economics, or maybe better stated—fleeing an impoverished life, is why so many seek refuge in our country. Vulcan then goes on to site statistics that effect a segment of those residence-seekers. In doing so, she exhibits classic liberal progressive traits whereby tolerance, inclusion and acceptance of opinion apply only to those who are fully onboard with her position. In the process, the basic fundamental questions go unanswered. Why? Because to be honest might go against the narrative of the moment.

—Dan A Revell

IN RESPONSE TO: IMMIGRATION, VIA BENDSOURCE.COM

Paul- I don’t have time to deal with all of your questions, but I’ll address a few. These people coming here seeking asylum are almost all Americans as they come from Central America.

Obama did remove some undocumented people, but he didn’t separate families and put children in concentration camps.

E Pluribus Unum actually refers to the original 13 colonies which only existed as the end result of uncontrolled immigration.

Almost all studies show that illegal immigrants actually pay more into the system than they take from it.

And please quit suggesting that progressives would prefer that immigration laws should not be enforced. That is just a red herring. Trump and his cabal keep trying to change the immigration laws to impose his racist beliefs on our country.

Empire Work Continues

The Empire Avenue extension could finish by the end of 2020, along with a new double-lane roundabout at Empire Avenue, 27th Street and Butler Market Road.

New roundabout opens, more changes coming

By Hilary Corrigan

R

oad construction on Bend’s east side continues in an effort to relieve congestion at key intersections, improve safety and help drivers cross the city more easily.

Early this month, the city officially opened a new roundabout at Empire Avenue and Purcell Boulevard, capping the first phase of the Empire Corridor Improvements project that started in early 2018.

The first phase of work also included widening Empire Avenue between 18th Avenue and Purcell; adding sidewalks and landscaping; and making stormwater improvements.

The second phase started in mid-July. It entails extending Empire at the end of Purcell to Butler Market Road and 27th Street. Work has already started with sub-grading Empire, said Sinclair Burr, project engineer for Bend. The city has a right-of-way through Bend Park & Recreation District land. That extension could finish by the end of 2020, along with a new double-lane roundabout at Empire Avenue, 27th Street and Butler Market Road. Work on that roundabout could start in spring 2020.

The second phase also includes adding sidewalks and bike lanes on Purcell and widening the bridge on Purcell over the canal. That work has finished on Purcell north of the canal. The improvements south of the North Unit Main Canal down to Butler Market could start in spring 2021.

Widening the bridge over the canal will occur this winter.

The intersection at Purcell and Butler Market will also be improved, but the city has not yet determined whether to go with a new signal or a roundabout there.

The entire project was first identified in the 1990s, with a right-of-way for the Empire Extension, Burr said. The recession in the mid-2000s stalled it. The project’s overall cost is a little more than $23 million.

“We’re still figuring that one out,” Burr said.

Burr expects public meetings sometime next year for input on that, along with analysis of costs, safety, right-of-ways and other factors, with a possible decision in 2020.

David Leath, City of Bend

The new roundabout has opened at Empire Avenue and Purcell Boulevard in Bend as construction continues on the rest of the entire project.

Regional Roundup Found this week in

OSU-Cascades Grows in Bend

Oregon State University-Cascades is breaking ground on an expansion of its Bend campus.

A new academic building will sit on land redeveloped from former waste and mining sites.

Builders plan to move soil from an old landfill to fill a pumice mine adjacent to the university’s existing footprint. The filled-in mine will provide the ground for a 50,000-square-foot academic building “devoted to Oregon State University-Cascades science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics,” according to the university.

Grace-Science Labs donated $1 million to the project, according to the OSU-Cascades website. The company develops, manufactures and sells high tech lab equipment from its facilities in Bend.

The project will develop more sidewalks, roads, parking, an amphitheater and green spaces on Bend’s West side. OSU has promised off-campus infrastructure to support the growth, such as a roundabout on Colorado Avenue to help with traffic, and a new pedestrian bike path, leading to the expansion’s to-be-built entrance.

University officials said construction could finish by summer 2021. —Emily Cureton, OPB

State Agency Gets Money to Help Refugees

With headwinds blowing from the White House to Oregon, local officials are increasingly signaling their support for migrants and refugees.

State lawmakers gave the Department of Human Services an extra $2 million for resettlement and case management services for refugees—with the emergency declaration of general fund dollars spearheaded by Rep. PMG Photo- Zane Sparling Carla Piluso, D-Gresham.

“If you live in Gresham, refugees are your neighbors,” Piluso said during a press conference organized by Unite Oregon. “In 2019, the Legislature stood up and said Oregon won’t be the amazing place we love without immigrants and refugees.”

The nonprofit’s supporters gathered Saturday, Aug. 3 for a roundtable at its East Portland office on Southeast 122nd Avenue, spurred by swirling reports that President Trump’s policy advisor, Stephen Miller, is pushing to cap refugee admissions at zero in 2020.

While that story remains hearsay, the U.S. State Department did set a ceiling of 30,000 refugees to be allowed on American soil in 2019, down from 45,000 the year before. —Zane Sparling, Portland Tribune

Gatehouse Getting Gannett?

The parent company of GateHouse Media, which bought local newspaper The Register-Guard last year, said Monday that it will acquire its competitor Gannett Co. for $1.4 billion.

The companies are the two largest newspaper publishing chains in the United States.

Gannett is the publisher of USA Today and New Media Investment Group is the parent compexels/brotiN biswaS pany of GateHouse Media, which owns The Register-Guard and hundreds of other papers across the country.

GateHouse is known for aggressively cutting costs and has laid off newsroom staff in the past. The merger will allow the combined company to cut $275 to $300 million annually “while continuing to invest in newsrooms,” the companies said in a joint press release. But the release did not mention layoffs or other cuts to newsrooms.

The Register-Guard, the daily newspaper for Eugene and surrounding areas, was bought

by GateHouse Media in January 2018. Since then, reporters, copyeditors and other RG staff were laid off, the Eugene Weekly reported. —Gina Scalpone, Michael Tobin, Daily Emerald

FOREST SERVICE STREAMLINING PROMPTS QUESTIONS Less analysis, less public input for projects?

By Hilary Corrigan A U.S. Forest Service photo shows the Metolius River at the Deschutes National Forest that the agency manages.

T

he U.S. Forest Service wants to change the way it evaluates the environmental effects from certain projects on federal land, a move that environmental leaders warn would violate both the letter and the spirit of the law—and put everyone involved in court.

The federal agency has proposed changing its own rules that it uses to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act as a way to speed up projects that it argues would not have significant environmental impacts.

Organizations in Oregon and elsewhere see the move and its possible ramifications very differently.

“Specifically, these changes would create loopholes that could vastly increase the amount of logging and mining on public land, while keeping the public in the dark and eliminating science-based reviews,” Chandra LeGue, Western Oregon field coordinator with Oregon Wild, wrote in an action alert for the nonprofit. “In my nearly 16 years with Oregon Wild, I’ve seen very few scarier proposals.”

The first major environmental law in the U.S., NEPA requires federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions before making decisions. The Council

on Environmental Quality, created with the signing of NEPA in 1970, calls NEPA “our basic national charter for protection of the environment.” It sets policy and goals and ways to carry them out, the council’s website states, and it set a “bold new vision for America.” The law acknowledged decades of environmental neglect that had degraded the nation’s landscape and damaged the human environment, the council notes.

The so-called “NEPA process” implements NEPA’s policies. Under NEPA, there are three levels of analysis—categorical exclusion, environmental assessment and environmental impact statement. Agencies complete reviews of projects based on the potential for significant environmental effects. Those without any fall into the categorical exclusion category. Those where it’s uncertain get an environmental assessment. Those with significant environmental effects need a full environmental impact statement that involves a lengthier process.

Saving time and money Part of the Forest Service’s proposal involves adding or expanding the “categorical exclusions” bucket—a list of activities that agencies have found do not have significant environmental

12 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / August 15, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

impact and need no extensive analysis. The Forest Service argues that it takes far less time to do a categorical exclusion and wants three types of projects—restoration, infrastructure work and special uses—to automatically fall under that option.

Under the proposal, restoration activities, focused on improving ecosystem health or watershed conditions, could not exceed 7,300 acres;

decommissioning several miles of roads or trails that cause resource damage; or building or removing campsites.

Special uses could include building a water pipeline and storage tank, allowing construction of a communication site, or letting an outfitter lead guided hikes.

“In each of these examples, and based on analysis of similar projects, the necessary environmental review

“It’s a really big bite at the apple that the agency is attempting to take…The scope of the potential impact is huge here.”

—Susan Jane Brown any timber-harvest work would need to also include another restoration activity; and harvested acres could not exceed 4,200 acres of the 7,300 acres. For instance, restoration could include commercial timber harvesting to remove diseased or infected trees, plus doing stream restoration work, in a 4,200-acre area. Another example: thinning and prescribed burning of overgrown areas near communities. Infrastructure could include

to authorize these types of important activities could be completed in less time with reduced process while maintaining important environmental safeguards,” the Forest Service stated in its materials on the proposal.

The Forest Service expects the changes to result in lower costs and time spent on environmental analysis, for the agency, the public and others involved; and faster development of, access to and use of forest goods

U.S. Forest Service

“We strongly support these rules,” Fite said, calling the reforms modest, long overdue and based on a review of cases. He expects the change to ensure projects that don’t need an environmental impact statement don’t have one. And he expects the effort to streamline and focus NEPA compliance work, resulting in more informative documentation than “multi-inch thick” environmental impact statements “that cover every conceivable aspect.”

“An EIS can be long but uninformative,” Fite said.

Fite also expects the changes will help the agency complete more work, including more forest restoration work and thinning projects that help reduce the intensity of wildfires. He does not expect the changes will cut the public out of participating. These are projects that won’t have significant impacts, work that the agency has done for decades and doesn’t affect the environment in a meaningful way, he said.

And it’s good work. He wants to see more of it, including thinning projects in Central and Eastern Oregon.

“It’s a real step in the right direction,” Fite said.

and services from healthier, more productive forests. The agency has cited too much time, money and staff spent on NEPA analyses and documentation, saying it was not meeting agency, public or stakeholder expectations to improve lands, create jobs and provide economic and recreational benefits. The agency has also cited huge costs in wildfire suppression work that also stretches staff and resources; and a backlog of more than 5,000 applications for new special use permits and ones for renewal.

Making environmental analysis more efficient, the agency stated, would help it “do more to increase the health and grasslands and be more responsive to requests for goods and services.”

“The proposed rule would contribute to increasing the pace and scale of work accomplished on the ground and would help the Agency achieve its mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations,” the Forest Service stated in the Federal Register.

Others agree, including Lawson Fite, general counsel for American Forest Resource Council, a trade association in Portland that represents wood products industry across five western states, with a focus on federal and state lands.

A dangerous step?

To Char Miller, director of environmental analysis at Pomona College in California, the whole effort is ironic.

The reason NEPA was established in the first place was because the Forest Service refused to allow the public to participate in its processes, said Miller, who has written several books on land issues in the West.

“Congress hammered the agencies,” Miller said. Especially the Forest Service, he added. Congress made the agencies invite the public back into the conversation on managing its lands and resources at a time when the landscape was being clear-cut, largely to help build homes, he noted. NEPA and

other big environmental laws emerged around the same time and helped change the dynamic, he said.

Miller also noted that many of those working for federal agencies are there because NEPA required analysis that led to creating those positions—including biologists, hydrologists and sociologists. And now NEPA has 50 years of precedent. Miller expects “a tidal wave of lawsuits” if the changes proceed.

He called the proposal a dangerous step for any agency to pursue, in part because the courts will not side with them. Miller expects the push came from the Trump Administration, but it’s the agencies that will lose face with the public and lose in court, he said.

“The minefields into which these agencies are moving are minefields and they can expect to get blown up,” Miller said.

‘Our lands’ Deschutes National Forest will implement the rules that ultimately get put into place, said Kevin Larkin, Bend-Fort Rock District ranger at Deschutes National Forest, part of the Forest Service. Larkin said the agency could not comment on the draft rules during the public comment period. But leaders at DNF will be paying close attention and want to ensure public involvement there while keeping processes as efficient as possible, said Larkin, who noted a good collaborative relationship with the community that he wants to see continue.

Public lands director and staff attorney Susan Jane Brown, from the public interest law firm Western Environmental Law Center that’s headquartered in Eugene, calls the Forest Service’s desire to speed up its NEPA process work “a laudable goal.”

“We all want an efficient government,” Brown said.

But the change would shift much of the work the agency does on its lands

to the categorical exclusions category, she said, letting those projects proceed with no opportunity for the public to comment on them.

“And that’s a problem. That’s a problem,” she said.

Brown called the proposed change the biggest she’d seen from the Forest Service on NEPA in 20 years.

“It’s a really big bite at the apple that the agency is attempting to take,” Brown said. “The scope of the potential impact is huge.”

Categorical exclusion is meant to apply to such work as mowing lawns near ranger stations and installing interpretive signs, Brown said, warning that the agency is expanding the tool well past its original intention and trying to do a lot more with less analysis and less public oversight. Brown expects that all kinds of projects could fall in the categorical exclusion bucket, including mining projects, oil and gas development and ski area development.

Public feedback is “what NEPA is designed to facilitate,” Brown said.

She knows that involving the public in project input takes time and can be frustrating.

“But these are our lands. We own them,” she said, calling the Forest Service a steward. She also noted Central Oregonians’ interest in outdoor recreation—and the possibility for projects on those lands to advance without their knowledge and input.

“People are going to notice and then they’re going to be mad,” Brown said.

After a public comment period ends, the Forest Service will review the input and make the final decision on its proposed rules.

“Let the litigation begin,” Brown said.

The agency extended the public comment period to Aug. 26. For more information, visit https://www.fs.fed. us/emc/nepa/revisions/index.shtml#howtocomment.

Banding Together

Musicians in the Central Oregon scene join forces to throw a two-night music festival

By Isaac Biehl Art by Kristin von Schlegell, arranged by Scott Oliphant.

T

here’s an abundance of good music coming out of Central Oregon.

You might not always find it if you don’t know where to look (our calendar helps)—but that’s part of the reason local bands are taking matters into their own hands with a new festival hosted at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. Appropriately titled the High Desert Underground Music Fest, the festival is built by and for local musicians. The goal? To raise awareness and help elevate the arts community in Central Oregon.

“A few of my friends in the music community and I just thought it was high time we put something together that was a little more organized,”

says Cosmonautical guitarist David von Schlegell. “All the bands that are on this bill share a similar goal in that we’d like to be heard.”

The idea is to raise awareness around local bands, which could lead to more opportunities for the musicians— including the prospect of them traveling farther outside of the region and bringing even more outside bands to the area.

“The festival idea was that if we get all our friends and the bands we admire in the area to pull in the same direction to put on a show, that will give the audience a chance to gain exposure of the other great talent we have here in Central Oregon,” continued von Schlegell.

Submitted

The High Desert Underground Music Fest will feature 14 local bands over two nights.

The funds generated through admission to HDUMF will go toward the creation of a compilation album of the bands. Anything left over will go toward promoting the arts in the area.

The lineup is a stacked bill. Day one includes Scary Busey, Alovitiman, Brandon Prinzing & The Old Revival, Guardian of The Underdog, The Color Study, HELGA and The Kronk Men. Day two will be Dr. Green Dreams, Bony Chanterelle, Cosmonautical, The Jess Ryan Band, Strange Rover, Roof Rabbits and AM Clouds.

While each band and artist aims to take their music to new levels, they’re also conscious of the notion—within the Central Oregon community, at least—it’s not a competition.

“Part of the reason this idea A who's who of local bands will rock VTP. came about was that bands started talking.

“The Scene is what You Make It”

A High Desert Underground Q&A with the Roof Rabbits’ Johnny Bourbon

By Isaac Biehl

O

Driena McManus

ne of the main players behind the High Desert Underground Music Fest is the Roof Rabbits’ Johnny Bourbon. You can catch this trio of rockers performing on night two of the festival, for what is sure to be a high-octane affair.

I chatted with Bourbon, guitarist and vocalist, about the band’s beginnings and the current state of the scene.

Source Weekly: How did Roof Rabbits form?

Johnny Bourbon: Sam Fisher and Sean Garvin played in a band called Tuck and Roll for around 10 years. I met them years back and we played some shows together when I was doing Harley Bourbon. Sam eventually joined HB when TnR was more or less defunct. Then we started working on Roof Rabbits with Sean as a side project in early 2016. I had basically written the “Creature Comforts” album and the material didn’t fit with HB. At first, we thought we might just do it just to record the album, but it ended up working too well and so we stuck with it. Meanwhile HB split as our upright player moved to New York to work for the National Hockey League. So, continuing with the Rabbits just felt right. It felt refreshing and fun and we all needed that.

We played our first show as a group on Halloween night 2016. We we’re at the M&J Tavern dressed up like Spinal Tap and hadn’t picked a name yet.

Sam was wearing the tightest pants, so we jokingly referred to the band as Sam’s Bulge that night.

SW: You may have been asked this before, but is there a story behind the band’s name?

JB: The name was more or less random at first. We threw around a few names after Halloween knowing we couldn’t continue under our comedic moniker. The Roof Rabbits was one of the only names that was instantly agreed upon. At that moment we didn’t have an inkling to the definition, which only confirmed it to be our destiny when we learned what it meant.

During World War I in Europe there were extreme food shortages and it was commonplace for a butcher or restaurant to sell you cat meat and tell you it was rabbit... Cat meat being passed off as rabbit became known as Roof Rabbit, and I’ve been told that if you order a rabbit dish in some parts of Italy, they still serve it with the foot on so you can be sure it’s actually rabbit.

Come Enjoy our Patio Oasis Swedish Dry Sauna Thermal Soaking Tub The Roof Rabbits include, from left, Sam Fisher, Sean Garvin and Johnny Bourbon.

SW: You guys put out your debut album toward the end of December. What was it like to see all the positive feedback from within the community and even from those outside of it?

JB: This album was very personal—I was working through a lot of things about myself, my habits, unhealthy relationship patterns and behaviors, so it was really gratifying to see other people resonate with those words and feelings. There was definitely a cathartic feeling to completing the album, then getting it out there and off of my chest.

SW: Roof Rabbits gets to perform at the first ever High Desert Underground Music Fest. What does it mean for you all to be a part of something like this?

JB: It's great. There have been ongoing talks for quite some time about cross promotion between local bands for a long time, so coming together to produce a local comp CD that we’re going to give away for free is a huge step for our local scene.

SW: What’s been your experience with the local scene in Central Oregon?

JB: I’ve been playing music in this town for 11 years, so have my bandmates—probably longer. The scene has evolved a lot, people come and go, venues come and go, but I feel like

there’s one constant and it’s that the scene is what you make it.

If you’re missing something in this scene, you get together with like-minded people and bands and make it happen. Put on the shows you want to see. A lot more people are taking this approach and it seems like it’s working—and as a result, venues are becoming more open minded.

SW: Do you have any advice to other musicians in the area who are thinking of starting a band or wanting to play as a solo act?

JB: To the new kids on the block I would say this... Play your ass off and mean it. Be authentic. Be you. If your music is a cliché or a gimmick people will know, and you will never be able to give YOUR best performance as someone you’re not. Sing your heart out if there’s five people in the room the same as you would if there were 5,000. You’re there to show the world who you are—and it doesn’t matter if someone doesn’t like it, there will always be people who do, and you’re playing for them.

ith a certain affinity for the deeper meanings and connections in life, Trevor Hall has been making music for others in that same boat since he was 16. Reading through many of his interviews, Hall makes it clear he doesn’t consider his music a career, or doesn’t look at music as work; it’s something Hall does just for himself.

The music Hall makes is mellow, relaxing and often inspiring. It’s some

of the finer acoustic music you’ll get to hear, and it fits as a perfect soundtrack to the scenery here in Central Oregon.

‘Newsies’ kicks up some musical fun Disney’s energized take on the 1899 carrier strike opens Friday

By Elizabeth Warnimont

“E

xtra! Extra! Newsies win game-changing battle with big media!”

Thoroughly Modern Productions brings the high drama and hijinks of turn-of-the-century, history-making paper boys—and girls—to the stage in “Newsies,” a Disney musical based on real events following the Spanish-American war of 1898. The audience can follow the fun and fury as bottom-tier newspaper employees struggle to make it through the harsh economic changes brought on by the war.

“It’s a classic,” director David DaCosta says of the production. “It hits every nerve. It crosses every political boundary. The little man against the big guy.” That, and it’s all set to an energized score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, whose 1,000-show run

Elizabeth Warnimont

on Broadway alone was seen by more than a million people, before the show went on tour.

“The music of the period is a lot of fun. You don’t hear music like that anymore. It’s very sentimental. It’s very sweet. It’s fun,” DaCosta says.

As paper sales drop off after the end of the war, the carriers, or hawkers, appeal to the publishers to drop the prices they have to pay for their bundles. Most of them are homeless already and need to earn more just to have something to eat. When the newsies find that their protests are met with violent retribution, however, they see there’s real risk in pursuing their goals.

The protest movement grows with the help of neighboring communities, and even that of the press itself, with headlines broadcasting the carriers’ Elizabeth Warnimont

plight. Eventually, the publishers and their carriers find common ground.

The scope of the production may be a record for TMP. “The show is a monster,” DaCosta says. “It is gigantic.” He says the company was concerned at first when they had 24 kids enroll in the summer program—because that’s 24 roles to fill with actors. “But as it turns out, there are three, maybe four who are doubling up because we don’t have enough people.”

“The emotional energy and purpose that these kids are bringing has been super,” DaCosta says of the youth segment of the cast. “They have the ideas and the concepts and an understanding of the story, the human element of it all.”

TMP offers a Summer Intensive program for ages 8 to 18 at any level of experience. All students are placed in a production. “The kids come during the day and rehearse their parts, from

Closing Reception for Bend Art Center

n Aug. 17, Bend Art Center will host a closing reception for its final show, “A Sense of Order.” Curated

by Julie Winter, the exhibition features artists Sarah Helen More, Shin Yeon Jeon and Susan Porteous. While each artist works in a different medium, bringing individual sensibilities to the theme, the show is also cohesive, with a tranquil quality that invites the viewer to explore the details of each piece.

whatever show they are in, then at night they come to rehearsal,” DaCosta explains. Beginning this year, TMP is also offering a Master Class, which focuses on one show at a time. “The age range for that is 13 to 18. 'West Side Story' was the first production we did that with. If they don’t want to be in the Master Class, say if they don’t like the show it’s associated with, then they still have the option [to attend the broader-based Summer Intensive program].

“I never want to compare,” DaCosta continues, “but I will say ‘Newsies’ has been the most fun show to sink our teeth into, to attack as a team, to watch unfold every night. I’m very excited.”

Shin Yeon Jeon stands with her work.

More’s paintings in geometric pattern offer the illusion of perfection, with crisp appearing lines that one might assume had been taped for errorless execution. Upon closer inspection, one sees the slightest imperfections and realizes that these were done freehand—a revelation exposing the artist’s humanity and a delightful tension between perception and reality.

In contrast, the work of Shin Yeon Jeon lays everything bare at the outset, inviting the viewer to enter into an emotional state.

The work includes exquisite clay sculptures of squares and breasts, each expressively storied with human images and dynamic glazing, many of the breasts with gold appearing to flow from the nipple. Starting there, one may explore the complexity

and dynamism of this work, perhaps finding through each unique piece a codified whole.

The work of Susan Porteous, though precise—thousands of origami folds executed to make stars, a waddle of penguins and an aircraft fleet—brings levity to the show. Porteous’ work is clever and graphic, and calls us to look for connections outside of ourselves. Thus, we are reminded that the substance of one’s work is often found in the source of its inspiration.

Bend Art Center is a central figure in Bend’s art community, and it is closing after this reception, for now. They’re planning a comeback, though, and invite everyone to the reception— not only to see a great exhibit, but to collaborate on a collage that will help map BAC’s future.

Will the 2020s roar as much as the 1920s did?

We aren’t waiting for next year to find out…

It was an iconic era in modern history—noteworthy enough to be the only decade with its own nickname: the Roaring ‘20s. With the 18th Amendment, Prohibition speakeasies and black-market booze were all the rage. Women won the right to vote, via the 19th Amendment. Radio became a mass media phenomenon. And in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald published “The Great Gatsby,” that modern classic that highlights the madness and malaise of the era.

As we get ready to see the next ’20s dawn, we couldn’t help but get a jump start, making it the theme of this year’s Best of Central Oregon.

On the following pages, you’ll find some of the stories behind the winners in Central Oregon’s most popular and longstanding readers’ poll.

Thousands vote; hundreds win in over 135 categories. You’ll hear from some of the longtime winners—and also some of those winning in new categories this year. New ones include Best Food Cart Lot, Best Smoothie/Juice Bar, Best Paleo, Best Cold Brew Coffee, and in Redmond, Sisters and Sunriver, a new category for Best Local Attraction. And because we know it’s locals who drive our economy, work the tough jobs and send us love throughout the year, we’ve added lots of new categories in the Local Life section, including Best Locals’ Hangout, Best Spot for a Night Out with the Crew, Best Locals' Night and Best Teacher.

Also look for the items titled “Staff Picks,” where our team has a little fun calling out “Bests” that have happened over the past year. (To be clear, readers didn’t vote on those.)

To borrow some Roaring ‘20s slang, we believe this issue is the cat’s meow, the big cheese, featuring the swellest of the swell in Central Oregon.

From all of us at the Source Weekly, let’s let the good times roar!

Best Breakfast McKay Cottage

BY HILARY CORRIGAN This year marks McKay Cottage’s 10th in a row winning the best breakfast award and owner Pam Morgan credits her workers.

“It just comes down to really having a great staff,” Morgan said.

Morgan noted employees who have remained with the restaurant for several years, both in the kitchen and in the front of the house.

Her trick for that solid staff: employing workers based on their desire, enthusiasm and kindness, rather than their experience.

Everything else can be worked on.

“Hiring nice, smart people and then training them to do the job,” Morgan said.

Morgan also praised Bend and its residents.

“Couldn’t think of a more beautiful place to live,” Morgan said, adding that it’s unusual to have a bad day at work. “Being in the restaurant business in Bend is an absolute joy.”

January 2020 will mark the 14th anniversary of Morgan’s ownership. The building itself once sat in Drake Park and was moved to its current site on O.B. Riley Road—just past Shilo Inns and across from the Deschutes River—in 1973, according to the restaurant’s website.

“And it’s such a great setting,” Morgan said of the restaurant, known for its expansive patio and towering elm trees, a shady oasis for outdoor summer dining.

McKay Cottage is also known for routinely accommodating special orders and substitutions. It’s a place that those visiting the area summer after summer make a point of returning to when they’re in town.

To Morgan, the biggest challenge has entailed keeping up with the increasingly busy pace—while maintaining the restaurant’s high standards—as Bend grows and brings more people to serve.

“It just makes us feel super proud,” Morgan said of hitting the 10-year-in-a-row mark. “It’s a big honor.”

Best Paleo & Vegan/Vegetarian Laughing Planet

BY KEELY DAMARA I know, right? “Best Paleo” and “Best Vegan/Vegetarian” would seem to be miles apart in terms of the types of establishments that would shine in either category. Yet, Laughing Planet does both exceptionally well.

When you break down the paleo diet — dubbed the “caveman diet” because of its emphasis on eating a heavy amount of proteins, very few carbs and sticking to whole, unprocessed foods — it’s actually a perfect complement to the veggie bowls and salads that populate Laughing Planet’s tasty menu. In fact, it is technically possible to follow a paleo diet as a vegetarian (albeit, it’s a little harder to pull off, but a quick Google search turns up blog after blog of people doing it successfully).

Both diets exalt clean, whole and unprocessed foods as the basis of what humans are designed to eat. Laughing Planet cafes offer affordable burritos, bowls, salads and soups that feature ingredients from local farms — crafted to be jam-packed with nutritious ingredients, presented in the simplest way possible.

Even if whole foods aren’t your top concern when choosing a place to eat

out, Laughing Planet’s Killer Green Sauce will turn even the most skeptical foodie’s head.

Laughing Planet is celebrating its fifth year in Bend. CEO Franz Spielvogel says he’s very grateful to the support of the community and that the win is a testament to the flexibility and accessibility of their menu.

“We operate with the mindset that we are a community resource—we are part of the fabric,” says Spielvogel.

“But more importantly, we have always wanted to keep our food accessible to all by pricing our food fairly while using the best, locally sourced ingredients possible.”

A Truly Thai Experience is here in Bend.

Best Food Cart Lot The Lot

BY KEELY DAMARA

Daniel Robbins

With all of the food cart lots popping up lately, it was time to add a new category to our Best of Central Oregon readers’ poll. The winner of the brand spankin’ new category “Best Food Cart Lot” is not only a favorite lot of locals — it’s THE Lot — the one and only!

If you’ve never stopped by, it’s hard to miss the double-decker green bus (that doubles as Fricken Faco’s mobile kitchen) out front on Columbia Street, just off of Northwest Galveston Avenue.

Home to Fricken Faco, Bend Burgz N Dogz, Greek Street and Á la Carte, as well as 16 taps that rotate regularly, this lot is the perfect laidback addition to the west side. The communal tables are housed under an outdoor, open air structure, with solid overhead heaters for colder weather.

David Staley, the owner and founder of The Lot, says he attributes part of the food cart lot’s success to customers valuing the consistency in hours—they’re open 11am-9pm, seven days a week. He says he’s excited to see a nice variety of food trucks and lots opening up

around town—and is always looking for ways to improve The Lot’s atmosphere.

“I just feel very lucky that we were kind of the first one to get into it,” Staley says. “Galveston, I think, is definitely an eating destination— so I think part of it is having a great location.”

Additionally, he attributes The Lot’s success to the phenomenal food that the carts have served to hungry Bendites over the years.

“Maybe be the biggest thing is just the quality of the food carts here—and that’s nothing that I personally can take any credit for,” Staley says. “But I just feel like we really have, over time, had some great food carts come in—Á la Cart has been here for almost five years now.”

Best Smoothie/Juice Bar Mother's Juice Cafe & Kitchens

BY KEELY DAMARA If you’re a juicer, you’re more than likely already familiar with Mother’s Juice Café on Galveston and the two other convenient locations, including a kitchen in downtown Bend and a location on the east side. The downtown location boasts the largest selection of entrees and a full bar.

But as delicious as the breakfast items and sandwiches are, the juices and smoothies are where Mother’s really shines. All three locations have an ample smoothie and cold-pressed juice menu. So. Many. Delicious. Drinks — not enough days in the week!

Delicious smoothies include the Happy Hippie (strawberry, banana, hemp protein, goji berries and hemp milk) and the Cashew Bliss (cashew, mango, banana, maple syrup, chai spice, turmeric, ginger and coconut milk). Really, anything with hemp milk or ginger? Sold. Ginger is a miracle worker for an upset stomach, you guys. If you’re new to raw juices, I’d steer clear of the wheat grass shots for now (it can be a little hard on an empty stomach, especially if you don’t know what to expect) and go for the Jumpstart. It has a nice

Daniel Robbins

healthy blend of veggie juices, but it’s cut with fresh orange juice and ginger for a sweet touch that’ll wake you up, without the caffeine jitters you get from coffee.

Mike Sackin, who owns and operates the three Mother’s locations with his wife, Janet, says he’s grateful for their customers who have supported their health food restaurants over the years.

“I want to thank everyone for being patrons for the past 20 years,” says Mother’s co-owner Mike Sackin. “And I’m really happy about seeing all the localism here in Bend—Mother’s is just excited to be a part of this community and its growth.”

Best Wine List Portello Winecafe

BY HILARY CORRIGAN Portello Winecafe’s owner, staff and customers share a love of wine that has powered the restaurant for more than a decade.

“We’ve just built this great little community around our restaurant,” said Courtney Toci, who has owned Portello for about a year after managing it for about five.

Portello prides itself on offering wine from around the world and from small producers that people may not know, Toci said. And it aims to offer the wines that people know and love while also trying out new, fresh items.

Toci said, “We have a really passionate and knowledgeable staff,” as well as customers who enjoy making recommendations and connecting with customers.

Wines offered by the glass come from the local region and from Italy, Spain, France, Chile, Argentina, Portugal, South Africa and Germany. A Monday wine night offers its wines-by-the-glass selection for $5 from 4-9pm. Happy Hour from 4-6pm, Tuesdays through Fridays, offers glasses of red, white and “bubbles” for $5 and Stella Artois for $3.

The menu includes salads, paninis, ravioli, cheese, bruschetta, and soups, along with desserts of fruit cobbler, chocolate souffle and crème brulee. A beer list features mostly Oregon brews.

Portello has been located in Northwest Crossing’s hub for 13 years. It attracts its regulars in the evening, along with special visits like bachelorette parties. Tables on the sidewalk offer a good spot to people-watch, while the interior expands with a bar and table seating.

“We’re just going to continue doing what

Riff Cold Brewed – Craft Food & Beverage Taproom

BY KEELY DAMARA Know any good riffs? The crew at Riff Cold Brewed does — they’re riffin’ on coffee-centric ideas day in, day out. Riff opened the world’s first cold-brew taproom in December, featuring over 10 finely crafted cold-brewed coffees on tap at any given time, in addition to beer and kombucha on their custom-made 30-tap tower—a beautiful sculpture in its own right.

I discovered the joy of cold brew a few years ago. It has lower acidity than coffee brewed with hot water (buh-bye, acid reflux), and the cold brew process brings out delicate notes in coffee beans, often lost when brewing hot coffee. There’s nothing standard or classic about Riff’s brews—they’re always trying new brews and rotating the taps. The Arm in Arm is a popular brew, with notes of red berry and stonefruit. Personally, I like the CBD version, which contains 50 MG of CBD per serving. It takes a little of the edge off the caffeine.

The Alter Ego sparkling coffee fruit tea is something special as well, and the perfect caffeinated refreshment for a summer day on their patio. Coffee fruit, or cascara, is a waste byproduct of coffee harvesting. One hundred billion pounds is estimated to be wasted this

year, left in fields to decompose, says Paul Evers—Riff’s co-founder. In addition to not being great for the environment, it’s a product from which hard-working farmers aren’t making a profit, because the demand for it is so low. Evers is excited about the idea of utilizing this underused fruit to create a new revenue stream for farmers, while highlighting how versatile and colorful in flavor coffee can be.

“It’s a tall order to reframe what a coffee establishment is,” says Evers. “But for all those people who have been [to the taproom] and experienced it—we get really great feedback and reviews. Then we’re also seeing it as an experiment, too—so we’re constantly learning and adapting and modifying.”

Best Bloody Mary The Victorian Cafe

BY JARED RASIC Every year more of Bend’s classic eateries close their doors. For every chain like McGrath’s or Applebee’s that shut down, there’s a local staple like Cheerleaders or Palmer’s that quietly says goodbye, as well. The Victorian Café is one of those local staples that it’s hard to imagine the Bend brunch scene without, and luckily, we don’t have to.

The Vic is an institution (winning Best Breakfast a whopping 13 times) and as great as the Big Easy Benedict or the Caramel Apple French Toast is, the Bloody Mary is legendary. The 23-ounce Proud Mary is a gargantuan mutant X-Man of an alcoholic concoction.

Just in case you haven’t partaken in the beast, it comes with Andouille sausage, a prawn, a cube of pepper jack, lemon, olive, pepperoncini, grape tomato and lemon. There’s also a garlic breadstick and, oh yeah, a double shot of house-infused pepper-vodka.

I think it’s a valid question to ask owner John Nolan where the Proud Mary could have possibly come from (aside from the dreams I have of adding sausage to everything).

“The simple truth to the Proud Mary recipe is that I had created the skewers for a BBQ party I was having,” says Nolan. “As my guests and I were enjoying them it just dawned on me that they would be the perfect complement to our Bloody Mary! And obviously a bigger Bloody Mary is better, too, right??” No arguments here.

Nolan knows exactly the experience he wants patrons to have and explains it perfectly: “I want people to leave the Vic saying, ‘Wow, that was awesome!’ The food is unique, the drinks are outstanding, and the people that work there and frequent the Vic just make the whole experience a one-of-akind place.”

Best Local Brewer Tyler West, GoodLife Brewing

BY ISAAC BIEHL News flash: People in Central Oregon love beer. Breweries and brewers in the area are aware of the stakes that come with producing in such a hot spot, so when you get recognized by the public for your skills behind the beer scene, it’s basically the equivalent of winning a local Oscar.

You’ve probably tasted a Sweet As (this year’s Best Light Beer winner) or maybe even a Descender IPA (which won second-best IPA this year) from Bend’s GoodLife Brewing. If you have, then you’re about to get more familiar with how those beauties are made,

because Tyler West of GoodLife is taking home the win for Best Brewer in Central Oregon.

A brewer in some capacity for over 15 years, West joked about confronting his bosses to find out which one was responsible for getting him this recognition—but the proof is in the beer.

“One of the most rewarding things at the end of the day is to come sit out here at this beer garden and just quietly have a pint,” says West, as we sit at the brewery. “People are just conversating.

They’re talking about their bike rides they had during the day or whatever.

Isaac Biehl

Maybe they had a bad day and this is the best part of their day.”

When asked what are his favorite things about brewing, the answer was quick and easy: “Beer and people.” West just loves what he does, which is probably why he’s gotten this love back.

“To be voted best brewer is like ‘no way!’ Cause I have so many friends that are doing amazing things at the brewery they work at,” West tells the Source. “It’s totally humbling, for sure.

It also makes me wonder who’s voting [laughs]. How does that happen?

There’s so many good brewers in town.”

Best Dispensary Oregrown

BY JARED RASIC It must feel good to be the best. For the last five years, Oregrown has been Bend’s highest-profile dispensary—sponsoring events, creating on-point swag and following their own guidelines for what a mellow weed shop can be. Bend is packed to the gills with dispensaries, but year after year, Oregrown takes the Best Of crown with ease.

Oregrown’s Co-Founder, Director and Chief Brand Officer Christina Hadar has a good idea about why that might be.

“Oregrown is unique in that we do not just provide an award-winning cannabis retail experience, we are also a true, grassroots lifestyle brand,” says Hadar. “We consistently offer a wide range of quality products from the best vendors in the state, exceptional customer service and an incredibly inviting atmosphere for all types of consumers.”

Since the beginning, Oregrown hasn’t just sought out popularity for the sake of making a buck, doing an amazing job proving how much they care about Bend and its environs. They

do that, “Whether it be sponsoring large scale events, partnering with the Humane Society of Central Oregon to create animal donation fund efforts, or continuously supporting local athletes and initiatives,” says Hadar. “We strive to be a force for good in all that we do, and I think it shows.”

But where does a dispensary this popular go from here? “With an exciting path toward expansion on the retail side, with the opening of our three new flagship retail locations in Portland, Eugene and Cannon Beach, and our wholesale side servicing nearly 300 doors statewide. Believe it not, five years in, it feels as though we are just getting started.”

Hadar and company don’t take their win for granted, though. “We would like to thank all Source readers for showing us so much love over the last five years,” says Hadar.

“From the bottom of our hearts. Our entire team works tremendously hard, day in and day out, to give our best to each and every customer that comes through our doors. It brings us so much joy to see our passion publicly recognized! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you!”

Best Budtender Hobey Weston

BY JARED RASIC Everyone smokes or dabs or vapes or shatters for different reasons: maybe to calm anxiety, help with pain relief or just to get good and stoned. Whatever the reason, they all know what a bad budtender is like.

You ask the budtender for a solid recommendation and get some strangely named strain you’ve never heard of, with a promise that it’s exactly what you’re looking for. You get home with your sweet, sweet legal satchel of goodies, and instead of something mellow, you’re climbing up the walls—or instead of pain relief, you’ve got the worst cotton mouth of your life.

People trust Oregrown’s Hobey Weston. He’s an actual expert and knows exactly the strain you need

for that specific day in your life. Weston—who also got some serious nods for his joint-rolling skills in the Source’s 2018 Budtender Olympics—says: “The idea of being able to talk to people, to educate and help change some of the negative connotations involved with cannabis really appealed to me, as I’ve always enjoyed working with people.”

But why is Weston in particular such a good budtender? I think it’s because he actually cares about people and cannabis and bringing those things together. “I think it’s important to see yourself as a type of educator and not just a salesperson,” he said.

“I love to see people have a moment of realization.

Working with awesome people and getting to put a smile on people’s faces all day long. I love being able to show someone something they’ve never seen before and giving them a “mind blowing” experience of what Oregon adult use cannabis has to offer.”

Best Men’s Clothing REVOLVR Menswear

BY ISAAC BIEHL A teacher used to tell us that if “you look good, you’ll feel good.” To be honest, it’s a pretty solid mantra to live by, because when you’re stylin,’ you’re smilin.’

Guys, I know it can be tough to find a place with the right variety of clothing or one that offers the options to help you match your individual style, though at REVOLVR, this all comes easy. Everything from the best flannels, stylish button-ups, rad hats, socks and watches to get your accessory game on point... there’s a little something for all the guys here.

Are you more of a casual guy? They’ve got you covered. Looking to find the right outfit for that next job interview? Also covered.

Needing a gift for your male partner, friend, or relative? Snap.

“There’s really nowhere for guys to shop here that they have a large selection,” says co-owner Christine Davis. This is one of the main reasons why Davis, and her partner, Jon Davis, decided to open up a second location here in Bend—the first store being in Bozeman, Montana.

In reality, she makes a good point. REVOLVR has clothes that people in Central Oregon really do wear– and can wear for multiple outings. “There’s a lot of trends that come out of L.A. or New York that would not fit—in Bozeman or in Bend,” says Jon Davis. “It’s definitely filtering through that and figuring out things that fit our market and our store.”

At REVOLVR you can find big brands like Levi’s or even local brands like Bearded Oregon. Plus, they’ll even offer you a taste of some local beer when you walk into the store. Growing up dreading trips to the mall, I can confidently say that buying clothes has never been so fun.

Best Antiques Iron Horse Second Hand Store

BY TYLER ANDERSON A walk through Iron Horse Second Hand Store proves that they don’t just offer antiques. They also offer hospitality.

“People come here from out of state,” says Suzanne Brock, who works at Iron Horse. “They make this part of their Bend visit.”

It’s easy to see why. The little store, located just south of Drake Park, sells a diverse range of goods, from furniture to clothes to kitchenware and much more. Old books and magazines are common, and the store has novelty items, including, interestingly, a flag of Japan dating back to World War II. Even if you’re just browsing, you’ll be welcomed by the people working there. Brock noted Eddie Swisher, the owner of the store, will dedicate a lot of his time

to interacting with the customers. Customers I spoke to when I visited the store could recall Eddie (known on a first name basis) and his warm personality. For at least a few people, interacting with Eddie is another reason to come back to the store.

Best Way to Commute in the Winter Cross county skis & snowshoes

BY KEELY DAMARA

STAFF PICK

Most can agree that getting around after a heavy snowfall in Bend isn’t fun or ideal—despite how much we like to tout how good we are at driving on snow and ice-covered streets compared to newbies from California. Plows have trouble keeping the streets clear, sidewalks quickly become unusable (or they’re non-existent)—and some of us can’t even avoid the snow by staying inside our homes. Remember the roof fails of Snowpocalpyse 2017?

What are Central Oregonians to do when errands need to be run, but roads are too crapt-astic to traverse by car or foot? Well, as we saw this past winter, for one, some out-of-the-box thinkers donned Keely Damara

62 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / August 15, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

cross country skis and snowshoes to visit shops in downtown Bend and to get around town. One reader even shared a photo of a snowmobile parked outside of Spoken Moto, where vintage motorcycles usually reside in the summer months (we don’t recommend driving unlicensed vehicles on city streets, but we enjoyed the laugh).

So, the next time you step outside after a particularly heavy snowfall—and start questioning your life decisions when scoping out your car on the street, parked under 2 feet of snow—remember there are other options that don’t require a snow shovel... just strong(ish) legs.

Thank you, Central Oregon!

Lush Salon

BEST ALTERNATIVE HEALTH CLINIC

BY NICOLE VULCAN The cover of this fine issue that you’re holding in your hands is a strong indication of the passion and talent found at Lush Salon. It didn’t take long to get two of the salon’s stylists, Haley Shaw and Diala Villavicenzio, to jump on board and serve as the cover models for our Roaring ‘20s-themed shoot. Suffice to say they’re the bee’s knees. And how!

Bre Jones and Courtney Black opened Lush Salon in a tiny space on Galveston Avenue five years ago, eventually expanding to the current, expanded location on Century Drive—where they offer a full complement of salon services and serve as a workplace home to 16 stylists.

They’re thrilled with the win as Best Hair Salon in this year’s readers’ poll.

“I think a lot of it comes from how passionate we are about what we do,” Jones said. “And I think that by making sure we’re hiring the best of the best to be in here— it’s something that we take very seriously.

We don’t just fill chairs to fill them. We fill chairs with people that have talent and drive and the same passion that we feel.”

That talent was definitely on display when Shaw and Villavicenzio rolled up to

1st Pangea Chiropractic 2nd Hawthorn Healing Arts Center

BEST DENTAL GROUP 1st East Bend Dental 2nd Dr. Dondo Dental Excellence Darris Hurst

the cover shoot, dolled up in period gear, hair and makeup on point (the addition of that nifty 1928 Model A from Gallery Garage didn’t hurt, either).

“A lot of people might shy away from it, but they were so excited, because again, it’s that passion that comes from this industry as a whole—the makeup, the styling, the costumes, the cameras, the lights, the whole thing,” Jones said.

Best Place to Get a Tattoo Monolith Tattoo Studio

BY JARED RASIC I don’t have any tattoos but I want all of them. That’s the problem. I bounce between wanting slasher movie\Little Prince\Jhonen Vasquez\comic book tattoos so much that I’m paralyzed in my decision-making process. Monolith Tattoo Studio is the first studio I’ve seen where I would gladly go in and let any of their artists put whatever inspired them on my skin.

Studio Manager Madison Kettwig helps me understand what makes Monolith so special. “Monolith is one of the most well-known studios in the Pacific Northwest and that is all because of a solid foundation created eight years ago by Edward and Melanie Kehoe, our studio owners,” says Kettwig. “From the beginning, Monolith has been the ‘client-comes-first’ studio and everyone that joins the team is on the same page. Tattoo studios can be SO intimidating and we know the importance of a welcoming embrace and a good attitude. I’ve seen too many shops where the

artist comes first and the client comes second. We believe that for the most quality work and experience, mutual trust and communication between client and artist is pertinent.”

Tattoos used to be such a fringe and edgy statement—the province of bikers and goths, co-op managers and hipsters, that it’s become somewhat jaw dropping to see how prevalent it is in 2019.

“Tattoos have evolved into a necessity for pop culture, the concern now is over-saturation of artists and studios,” says Kettwig. “I personally believe body modifications have increased in desire because our culture has evolved from hiding our problems behind smiles and fake laughs and pretending like we are something we aren’t, into a society that celebrates individuality and creativity—and I hope the progressive behavior never stops!”

Kettwig also explains another drawback to the

proliferation of such booming tattoo demand. “Many artists don’t have any opportunities to create their personal custom art pieces,” says Kettwig. “These artists have honed the craft of tattooing and have a wealth of knowledge about what truly goes into a successful and stunning piece, and unfortunately, because their options or knowledge gets overlooked, artists lose motivation within the industry.”

Come at me, Monolith. I’m tabula rasa.

Best Art Gallery Mockingbird Gallery

BY HILARY CORRIGAN Mockingbird Gallery’s big front windows overlook the living art of downtown Bend’s arguably busiest pedestrian spot.

But the space inside stretches back into a quiet oasis.

Statues, sculptures and paintings of fish, birds, moose, horses, mountain lions and butterflies—along with landscapes and scenes of lone barns and rain-streaked city streets—fill the gallery that represents about 48 established artists from around the country.

“It’s a melting pot of talent,” said Jim Peterson, who owns the gallery with his wife, Nathalie.

Mockingbird shows what Peterson calls traditional/representational art, rather than more abstract pieces.

Peterson said, “We love that role that we play,” in providing the community an opportunity for culture.

The gallery uses the downtown First Friday Artwalk—a monthly event when shops stay open late to host strolling visitors—

to launch new exhibits. The artists whose work is on display often attend and talk with gallery visitors.

Mockingbird is celebrating 30 years, having started in Sisters before moving to Bend.

The Petersons have owned the gallery since 2007. The couple also opened the Peterson/ Roth Gallery a couple of years ago just up the street, showcasing contemporary art in a space beneath Silverado Jewelry Gallery.

“I like right where we’re at right now,” Peterson said of the two galleries, adding that he looks forward to more years of “doing just what we’re doing.”

Best Local Band Night Channels

BY ISAAC BIEHL For what really was their first year on the Central Oregon scene, alternative rockers the Night Channels have utilized creative outlets to the fullest. From countless shows at The Capitol, The Domino Room and the not-to-be-forgotten Di’s Pizza in Redmond, the young group has fully immersed itself into the music scene, determined to leave a mark on the community and beyond.

Back in September, the guys put out their debut single, “03,” and followed right up with a music video directed by Bend’s 12th Street Media. Featuring gorgeous scenes at Shevlin Park and a sunset jam session on top of The Domino, it was clear then that not only was this a perfect Bend-y music video, but that Night Channels was all about being a part of this community.

I’ve heard a bit of what the group has cooking for future releases and it’s all pretty tasty. “Methadone Jesus” is a powerful punk ballad that stretches lead singer Joey Vaughn’s vocals to deep and powerful places. “Zeus,” on the other hand, is a much different take. Backed with some awesome guitar riffs, “Zeus” has a little more pop in its step, as the song details an electric connection between two people.

These two tracks alone have me pretty stoked for when the full project rolls around.

So not only are these guys talented at making good music, but they embody everything a local artist should be about. Which is exactly why I’m calling them this year’s Best Local Band– because if you haven’t yet, you’re bound to run into Night Channels at some point.

Best TV Personality 2 019

Bob Shaw, KTVZ

CENTRAL Oregon

BY NICOLE VULCAN Lots of people have a love for recreational vehicles—especially in the summer in Central Oregon—but were it not for the good ol’ RV, Central Oregonians might not be able to boast a local treasure in Bob Shaw, chief meteorologist and community affairs director at KTVZ. Shaw came to this area for a job with Beaver Coach, eventually finding his way to the weather desk at the area’s NBC affiliate news station.

As Shaw put it, he “fell backwards into TV.” Whatever direction he fell, it’s clear Source readers have embraced him. This year, Shaw is taking home the title of Best TV Personality for the 18th time in the 20 years he’s been on the air. He’s highly visible on the airwaves of Central Oregon—but he’s also a steady presence at many local fundraisers and events. He also takes special pride in being part of 21 Cares for Kids, a partnership between the TV station and a handful of local nonprofits working for the benefit of area kids.

“One of my biggest loves is getting into the schools,” Shaw said, describing the various appearances he makes, as well as the mentorship and guidance he’s able to offer young people who are interested in the news biz.

“I’m so grateful to Central Oregon for the opportunities they give me to come into their homes every morning, and in the community,” Shaw said.

Best Open Mic M&J Tavern

BY ISAAC BIEHL After a brief closure of its musical festivities, the M&J Tavern is back and showcasing all of the local talent we have in the area– and they clearly haven’t lost a step.

When an open mic is like going to a billed concert, you know it’s something special. The

Submitted

energy at M&J’s open mic is of that atmosphere, with everyone joining in and celebrating the night ahead. So those seven months without music at the “living room?” Brutal.

The hiatus occurred through a legal battle with BMI over music copyright and publishing laws. Luckily for us the M&J was able to strike up the proper licensing agreements to keep on hosting its glorious open mics and concerts, and a piece of the community was restored.

Open mics at M&J create opportunities for music lovers to find and support new local artists, and for local artists to connect and learn from one another. It’s a setting built upon two simple pillars: music and people. It really doesn’t get any better than this.

If you haven’t been yet, we definitely recommend putting their open mics on your radar. Once you go you’ll probably never see Wednesday nights the same again.

Best Locals’ Hangout Crux Fermentation Project

BY ISAAC BIEHL Tourists are everywhere in Bend. During the summer, it can be hard for even the most longtime locals to find a sanctuary of peace.

While Crux Fermentation Project definitely welcomes tourists to its fine establishment, locals love it, too. Whether at Crux’s inside bar or in the giant outdoor space—featuring cornhole, music and more—you can find everyone from families to teenagers, grandparents, 20-year-olds or even a caravan of dogs all hanging out. At the same time, it’s also possible to find a spot to go pretty unbothered... a grassy spot on the lawn the perfect kickback, a nice beer, hanging with friends for hours on end.

Scenes like that are probably why Crux is taking home the victory in our new category: Best Locals' Hangout.

“It means everything to us,” says Marketing Manager Jason Randles. “I think most

businesses in Bend are trying to lure the locals in. That is what drives the business and keeps us going all year long. We love that we can be the choice for people out of town to come to our brewery, but more importantly, we want to be the place that locals think of.”

It’s a rare thing to feel this at home at a place this popular—but Crux has it figured out, and Randles couldn’t be happier.

“We appreciate it and hope to see everyone throughout the year!”

Best Spot for a Night Out with the Crew The Capitol

Daniel Robbins

BY TYLER ANDERSON The Capitol is a nightly ritual designed to give you a good time—winning in this new category.

Open daily from 5 pm to midnight, (2am on Wednesdays and Thursdays), the underground restaurant and nightclub is there to do just that.

What was originally a musical theater through the early to mid-20th century had been re-opened as a successor to its original purpose. That is exactly the intention of the club’s owner, Nate Edgell, when he set out to reuse the space that had long been vacant.

At The Capitol, you can lounge in the dimly lit restaurant and bar and feast on a delicious menu of tacos, burgers and pizza with its own menu for toppings, and drink down the equally delicious cocktails, beer, cider and wine . They make clear that the majority of ingredients sourced

are non-GMO and locally provided.

Beside the bar is the nearby music venue where live music is performed, comedy turns to laughter, and everyone can get down on the dance floor.

If you ever get tired of the local breweries and the get-togethers, The Capitol may just be the place to check out for some serious quality time with your pals.

Best Place to Throw Your Dog Poop Hint: Not in a bag, left on the side of the trail

BY CHRIS MILLER

STAFF PICK

Suzanne Johnson

Most people who’ve spent any time hiking trails around Bend, or taking their kids to school, or just walking down the sidewalk have seen them: black plastic bags filled with dog excrement left lying about like a nightmarish version of an Easter egg hunt.

Maybe the bags are left around because people forget them. You’re hiking, your dog squats, you do almost the right thing…but then there they sit, near the trail, waiting for millennia for the plastic to finally decompose.

Maybe it’s because although the dog’s owner doesn’t want to leave the poop on the trail, they don’t want to carry it with them. Or maybe they’re just lazy.

Which brings us to the crux—what to do with your dog’s poo.

If you’re going to bag it, take it with you and put it in a place that will end up in the landfill.

Or, if you’re more than 100 yards from a water source, dig a hole, push the pile of poop into the hole and cover it with dirt. It will decompose, no one will step in it, and it’s one less plastic bag sitting in the dump.

And let’s be real, even though the bags o’ poop are disgusting, it’s still better than stepping in Fido’s waste, then tromping around all day with stink foot.

Best Place to Catch a Free Show Floating the Deschutes

BY KEELY DAMARA There’s no shortage of places to catch a show in Central Oregon — we’re teeming with local talent, and traveling acts come through every summer.

While there are plenty of solid venues in town to catch a free, local show (and free is relative, support the local bands you love, folks), I’d have to say that floating the Deschutes is pretty much the best seat in the house when it comes to a show at the Les Schwab Amphitheater. Now, if my favorite band (let’s say, Pixies) is playing Les Schwab, I’m sure as hell going to buy a ticket—a river seat isn’t going to deliver stellar acoustics or fellow fans to enjoy the moment with. But

sometimes you just want a little mood music while you’re floating the river and enjoying the sunset, you dig?

In May, the Source wrote a piece about the etiquette of poaching a summer concert on the river—which includes some great general safety tips. So—if you go out to float the river and just happen to catch a free show at Les Schwab in the process, be sure to pay it forward to the artists. Stream their albums on Spotify, buy some merch, subscribe to their newsletter—and buy a ticket to their show next time they come through town. Better yet, bring a few friends with you! Music is better when shared.

Hutch's Bicycles

BY NICOLE VULCAN In an outdoors community awash in a sea of bike shops, gear stores and big-box options, what compels readers to vote one particular place Best Bike Shop, year after year?

This particular bike shop’s wins in Best of Central Oregon go back as long as the Source has been doing the contest, taking second just once, to fellow longtimer Sunnyside Sports. Opening as a satellite of the Eugene-area Hutch’s in 1981, owner Jim Lewis and his wife, Susan, eventually bought the business from Bill and Nancy Hutchinson.

Today, the three east-Cascades Hutch’s— including the original 3rd Street location as well as the west side and Redmond locations—pride themselves on taking good care of customers.

As Lewis says, Hutch’s is there not to sell people bikes, but to help them buy a bike; a distinction that showcases the shops’ philosophy about their relationship to customers.

“I think honestly, we just try to do right by the customers, and do the best thing for them,” said Petey Thom, general manager of the three stores.

In this outdoors-focused community, Lewis isn’t interested in only catering to elite athletes or to those already indoctrinated into bike culture, either.

BEST YOGA STUDIO 1st Namaspa Yoga Community 2nd Groove Yoga Darris Hurst

“There are a lot of different reasons to ride bikes, at a lot of different ages,” said Lewis. “I used to be a racer, but I’ve never been one of those people that has thought, ‘well if you’re not a racer I really don’t want to talk to you.’

If you’re interested in cycling, I want to have a visit. Everybody comes to the table with a different need for a bicycle.”

Best Ongoing Public Debate Dredging Mirror Pond

BY NICOLE VULCAN What’s all that sludge in the shallow water that is Mirror Pond?

Who should clean up that stuff?

Who’s gonna pay for that shizz?

What about making the pond into a free-flowing river instead?

Who even owns the pond, anyway?

If these questions sound to you like a Bend-y version of Groundhog Day, you’re not alone. Bend has dredged Mirror Pond before, many years ago, and some say that it’s time to do that again. Still, others say that this is an ideal time to talk again about whether the impoundment that is Mirror Pond should even be a pond in the first place, since a free-flowing river would be better for wildlife. The question of removing the dam is pretty much off the table for now, unless Pacificorp decides to blow it up or sell it—but in the ongoing public debate that is Mirror Pond dredging, it appears some entities are starting to make progress.

Bend Park and Recreation District adopted a resolution this summer, agreeing to put $300,000 toward dredging. The Bend City Council has also committed to pay for 50% of the project, or no more than $3 million. Some private funds are forthcoming, but that still leaves close to half of the projected $6.7 million price tag in the balance—meaning the issue is far from behind us.

Best Ongoing Public Debate? Maybe more like Best Murky Issue That Never Gets Sunk…

Best Republican PR Stunt

STAFF PICK

Fleeing Oregon to protest Cap and Invest legislation

wanderlusttours.com | 541.389.8359

If Oregon Senate Republicans’ goal this year was to position themselves as righteous outlaws, out there to rabble rouse anything that remotely whiffs of “climate change legislation,” then call “The Base” placated.

In one epic public relations stunt, Senate Republicans appeared to have a grand time fleeing the state to oppose HB 2020, the proposed Cap and Invest legislation. Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend), seen and heard on Idaho news outlets large and small, reppin’ the voice of the little guy beleaguered by a (democratically elected) Democrat supermajority, gets a nod from us for “Best Way to Flee Oregon” this year.

But he’s upstaged by Sen. Brian Boquist (R-Dallas), who’s currently being forced to give the Senate 12 hours’ notice of his intent to enter the state Capitol, after making threatening remarks directed toward Oregon State Police. “Best Way to Piss Off State Police” definitely goes to Boquist.

Despite the fact that in reality, enough Senate Democrats opposed HB 2020 so as to make it a no-go, Senate Republicans sure made a grand show of the end of the 2019 legislative session.

BY NICOLE VULCAN Red Martini’s dinner menu reads like a treasure trove of all the things people love about America: King salmon, Maine lobster, beef tenderloin, Dungeness crab…. And with a handful of items with a French flair, including the French Cassoulet and a French Pot Roast, it’s safe to say this restaurant and cocktail bar has both sides of the pond on lock.

Located in a charming, cozy spot in downtown Redmond, Red Martini has been a locals’ favorite for dinner and drinks for many years— and this year, they’re taking home the top spot in the dinner category among Source readers.

Indeed, the extensive drink menu, including, you guessed it, lots of martinis, is worth popping in for, ideally with one of Red Martini’s decadent desserts. (Pro tip: This can be a good option for those later-night paNicole Vulcan trons, looking for somewhere to satisfy their sweet tooth once the bakeries shut down.)

BEST BREAKFAST

BY NICOLE VULCAN Bedouin has been a mainstay in Sisters since 1986, the year Janet Brockway opened the doors.

Way back when, as a teenager, Harmony Thomas worked in the boutique—so when Brockway decided to retire, Thomas was a natural fit to take over, buying the business from that original owner last year. Since then, Thomas has been busy putting something of her own stamp on the place, while also offering the mix of global and local goods that people have come to love. During her time as owner, Thomas says she’s been doing more curating of local jewelry and ceramics, because, as she said, if you’re going to ask people to shop in a locally owned store, the store should also support local artisans by stocking local items.

As Thomas puts it, she’s “taken a beautiful, iconic Sisters store and given it new life.”

Not only has Thomas made a few aesthetic changes to the place, but she and her husband, Brian, also took over the former Navigator News coffee shop next door, transforming it into the Good Day Cafe.

Bedouin has won the Best Boutique in Sisters category the past five years in a row.

Thomas said she’s happy to be back in her hometown, now as an owner of a business, Courtesy Bedouin and credits the boutique’s customer service for all those consecutive wins.

BY JARED RASIC If Sunriver is the land that time forgot in Central Oregon, then Sunriver Resort’s 3,300 acres is the paradise at the center. It’s the kind of place that reminds locals and tourists alike how special Central Oregon is in the first place, and that the majesty of its outdoors is what brought people here in the first place.

Sunriver Resort has the luxurious amenities that resorts normally have, including swimming pools, spas, golf courses and world-class food, but it’s the location, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, that’s truly one of a kind.

Michael Patron, director of performance optimization at Sunriver Resort, clarifies the experience: “Sunriver represents the Central Oregon experience at its core and offers all of the amenities and activities that make Central Oregon special. World-class golf and dining, beautiful scenery, a family-friendly environment, tons of activities, all surrounded by nature and wildlife.”

But what draws locals to Sunriver Resort, along with the tourists? “The easy drive from Bend provides locals with easy access to the same vacation experience that is available to visitors to the area,” says Patron. “Even more, Sunriver Resort offers special discounts and promotions for Deschutes County residents on lodging, golf, river floats and more.”

Even if you just want a lazy weekend away from your Bend apartment, the rooms at Sunriver Resort feel like a throwback to a comfy mountain lodge in the 1960s. The resort has been there so long that it’s easy for Central Oregonians to take it for granted, but at one point or another, we all make the trip.

“The Sunriver experience is timeless,” says Patron. “Families have been traveling to the area to experience the breathtaking mountain Courtesy Sunriver Resort views and endless outdoor activities for more than 50 years. Many of our guests visited the resort as kids and now bring their kids and grandkids in tow.” Timeless is right.

Support Pets for Vets

Local nonprofit sponsors emotional support dog training for veterans

By Keely Damara Keely Damara

N

ot all heroes wear capes—in fact, in the real world, they often don’t. Often incognito without their uniform, veterans can struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder, isolation and other challenges after returning home from service in the military. That’s where heroes with four paws come in.

Battle Buddies of Central Oregon is a local nonprofit dedicated to prevent-

Dogs start by learning basic obedience and can later learn specific tasks to become tried-and-true service dogs.

Task training is what sets service animals apart from emotional support animals. Dogs can train to perform a variety of tasks specific to the needs of their owner—from guiding the blind, alerting those nearby about seizures, calming people during anxiety attacks or nightmares and more.

“I’m a disabled veteran and I had a really hard time adjusting to civilian life… And I found quickly that dogs make a world of a difference.”

—Elizabeth Harms

Elizabeth Harms and Tinkerbell at their first training with Bryan Castleberry at Cascadia Canine Training School.

ing veteran suicides through canine companionship and training as emotional support animals. The nonprofit also connects those who have served with valuable resources available to veterans, in addition to funding training for 10 to 12 dogs every year.

“Luckily, federal law allows people to train their own service dogs—it’s not required that they be certified or licensed through some specific agency,” says Shannon Lucas, Battle Buddies of Central Oregon program director. “So, we point them in the right direction, and we help with task training.”

She adopted Tinkerbell, a small black lab, as a young pup. She’s now nine months old. While she has two other dogs at home that she considers emotional support animals, she’s training Tinkerbell to be a service dog. Harms will eventually teach her how to “block,” a trained task that will help keep strangers a comfortable distance away from her personal space when out in public.

Harms will meet with trainer Bryan Castleberry at Cascadia Canine Training School once a week. Training can take up to two years—but she says it’s well worth the time and effort.

“There’s a task called deep pressure stimulation, where the dog lays on the person and applies pressure to stimulate the person’s nervous system—calming them,” says Lucas.

Elizabeth Harms, 32, served in the U.S. Army in Iraq in 2006, and experiences anxiety as a result.

She’s in the process of training her dog Tinkerbell to help mitigate some triggers.

“I’m a disabled veteran and I had a really hard time adjusting to civilian life,” says Harms. “And I found quickly that dogs make a world of a difference.”

“They’ve just been with me every step of the way,” says Harms, referring to Battle Buddies. “Rode was initially supposed to be the service dog and when he didn’t work out because he was actually a little skittish, they were really supportive about switching to a different dog. They’ve gone up and down with me.”

Veterans interested in participating in free emotional support animal training through Battle Buddies of Central Oregon are invited to apply on their website, battlebuddiesco.org.

A Community Thread: Christy Walker

By Joshua Langlais

A Community Thread: What concerns you and what motivates you to do something about it?

Christy Walker: What concerns me the most is the lack of education of folks in our area. I don’t necessarily mean in the traditional schooling sense, but I just mean that people are willing to be ignorant about issues that are going on. If you don’t live in the particular skin, then you tend to not care about what other people are going through.

In my job, I see how underrepresented youth are treated and the opportunities that are missed. The lack of representation they have, it’s heartbreaking. If I am one of their only teachers that can relate to them as far as our ethnic backgrounds, that’s really sad. Even curriculum,

how it doesn’t represent who they are—they tend to be cast aside as a quirky sidekick instead of a hero in a story. It could be so simple: change a word problem in math so that maybe the name is Diego instead of John to make people feel included. It’s just very sad to me that people are so closed off to understanding other people and understanding why that’s an issue.

A lot of people will ask me, ‘Why is that so important for these students to have their names or have someone that looks like them?’ They’ve never had to think about it. They’ve never been the only brown student in the classroom. When the topic of racism comes up, everybody looks to that student. They’ve never been the only person of anything in any area and so they don’t understand. They’ll never understand what that means. And, to be honest, I won’t understand that either because of how I look. But you need to be able to empathize and relate with that and not just cast it aside as if it’s nothing. People tend to think

I think that people with privilege need to do what they can to help others that don’t have that privilege. And I’m not saying to speak for them, but to help pave the way so that they can speak for themselves.

that people’s emotions, when they’re feeling hurt, that they’re just overreacting or that they’re just angry and they delegitimize what they’re feeling because, again, they’ll never experience it.

I think that people with privilege need to do what they can to help others that don’t have that privilege. And I’m not saying to speak for them, but to help pave the way so that they can speak for themselves. Not step in and be the savior, because that happens, too—wanting to change everything for everybody.

We can’t do that. But what we can do is help people get to where they need to get so that they can be the change agents for themselves.

ACT: What do we mean to each other, individual to individual?

CW: I think that no person is an island. And you can’t live life alone.

We have to support each other and that’s why we have to interact with

each other. While the things that we do might feel so small-scale compared to the universe, it’s important to do the best that we can with the life that we have. If you can make a positive impact, then you should.

Personally, I feel really drawn and compelled to this kind of work because I feel like I’ve had it pretty easy, to be honest, in a lot of ways.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my own struggles and my own share of things. But I also feel like I need to use the privileges that I have to help other people because we’re connected. It’s not fair that I get other things just because of the color of my skin. I didn’t control that. I didn’t earn that.

I feel like it’s up to us to level the playing field so that we can all live in harmony. We have this one world that we’re living in.

Bend Gets Vegan-Friendlier

By Nicole Vulcan

Rudy and Peter Skitterians, Pixabay

Are more people eating animal-free?

By Lisa Sipe Lisa Sipe

A

s an open-minded omnivore, perusing a menu means simply selecting whatever meal sounds appetizing. Throw in a dietary restriction, such as not eating animal products, and dining at a traditional restaurant typically whittles that menu down to three options: maybe a salad (omit the cheese, please), a veggie burger and a pasta or risotto with vegetables. Sound boring? It is.

Bend has come a long way in the last six years, with several restaurants opening with vegan-friendly menus, including Active Culture, Plantd Cafe & Marketplace, Bo’s Falafel, Laughing Planet, Café Yumm and Sunny Yoga Kitchen, as well as those with all-vegan menus, including A Broken Angel, Fix & Repeat and Salud Raw Food.

Vegan boom In the last month, Bend bumped up from three to five vegan restaurants with the addition of Root Down Kitchen and The Garden Cafe & Ora Juice Co. I was licking a golden milk popsicle made with turmeric, spices and coconut milk when a friend asked, “Where did you get that?” I told her it was from a cute back alley vegan place.

She looked at me perplexed. The popsicle was from The Garden Cafe & Ora Juice Co. I coined it “back alley vegan” because it’s so hard to find. It’s on Arizona Avenue, close to Market of Choice, behind Cafe of Life (a chiropractic office, not a cafe) with a front door facing the alley. The location wasn’t an issue at first, because Ora Juice Co. sold juice cleanses online.

“People kept asking, please open a cafe,” said Jill Hodgson, the owner of The Garden Cafe & Ora Juice Co. She was hesitant at first. Hodgson had worked

Brickhouse Gets a Nod from Wine Spectator Thai salad from The Garden Cafe & Ora Juice Co.

at Hawthorn Healing Arts for years and knew she would open a cafe eventually, but the location and opportunity came to fruition sooner than she anticipated.

The menu at The Garden Cafe consists primarily of juices and salads so fresh you’ll feel like they were just harvested from the ground to your plate. They have a few fruit-forward, kid-friendly options, including chia pudding, soaked oats, popsicles and fresh fruit “ice cream.”

Each day you can find a different soup, food or grab-and-go specials. When I visited, the special was a pickle plate with vegan goat cheese, tarragon oil, a seeded cracker and nasturtium leaves.

I listened to Hodgson talk to patrons, presenting food like medicine. She shared the benefits of a dish she was preparing; anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, antioxidant boosting, and so on.

“I want to create a community gathering place,” said Hodgson, “where people can meet and be fed in many ways.”

Animal-friendly comfort food Nicole Precone, chef/owner of Root Down Kitchen, was born in Lisa Sipe

Tacos and fritters from Root Down Kitchen.

Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in an Italian family in New Jersey with a lot of cooks. All that cookery led her to a life in the food industry. Having lived in Bend since 1997, Precone worked in a lot of professional kitchens until she says, “I self-retired, because I’m vegan.” It’s hard to make sure the food tastes right if you can’t try it.

With a cute yellow storefront and picnic tables, Root Down Kitchen is nestled close to downtown Bend, off Hill Street, in the same shopping center as Esta Bien! Precone’s concept is to make vegan food fun, easy and approachable for everyone. The menu is small but packed with flavor, including three hearty sandwiches.

The curried chickpea salad sandwich with spinach, pickled onions, carrot curls and wasabi aioli on a hoagie is a standout. Beyond sandwiches, options include hoisin tempeh and roasted cauliflower tacos, savory red lentil fritters drizzled with cilantro pesto, spicy aioli and avocado cream with spicy slaw and tofu yakisoba. Those who are gluten free and vegan can choose the tacos or fritters. Young vegans can fill their bellies with teriyaki tofu and a choice of rice, noodles or carrot sticks.

You’ll find Asian influences in the menu, as well as healthful ingredients, but Precone’s real mission is to make food so good you come back for it.

With this increase in vegan restaurants, it might appear that lots of people are deciding to go vegan—but that’s not exactly true. A 2018 Gallup poll shows people identifying as vegan up slightly at 3 percent, but only one point up from 2012. Of course, that poll doesn’t take into account people like me, who are just eating less meat.

The Brickhouse steak house in downtown Bend got a nod this year from Wine Spectator magazine. The restaurant was one of over 30 Oregon locations earning recognition in Wine Spectator’s 2019 Restaurant Awards— awards that name the locations with the best wine lists around the world.

According to the magazine, Brickhouse earned the award for its selection of Washington, California and Oregon wines.

Unofficial, Definitive Bend Brewfest Preview

CH

CRAFT

Beer lovers, get ready to sip suds from some 70 breweries and cideries

By Zach Beckwith, Head Brewer, Bend Brewing Company

B

rewfest veterans know the drill, but for those attending Bend Brewfest this weekend for the first time, I’ve created the definitive, unofficial preview of the 2019 Bend Brewfest.

Every August, 70 breweries and cideries from all over the West Coast bring two different beers to pour on the banks of the Deschutes River over the course of three days. Most breweries send an additional special keg for the X-Tap. X-tap beers are extremely limited and pour only at the Brewtality tent at a specific time, so check the schedule ahead of time (or the Brewtality tent chalkboard) for what’s pouring when, or you’ll miss out.

Every year the beer lineup reflects current trends, and once again this year you’ll see lots of fruited sour beers (14) and hazy IPAs (at least 17). Northwest-style IPAs and pale ales are as popular as ever, along with 13 different pilsners. Porters and stouts are a little harder to come by in the main tents but abound at the X-tap. In addition to all the beer, you’ll also find seven cideries and a gluten-free brewery pouring.

Here are a few beers I’ll be seeking out: Barbarian Brewing, Juniper Gose: This Boise, Idaho, brewery specializes in unique sour beers and this German style Gose made with salt, a touch of coriander, juniper berries, cinchona bark, lavender and lime juice has the potential to be a complex and refreshing treat. Plus, I have no idea what cinchona bark is.

Submitted

Block 15, The Dab Lab Desert High: A Bend Brewfest exclusive entry into the Corvallis-based brewery’s experimental hop series is worth checking out.

Pfriem, North German Pilsner: Brewed for a pilsner competition sponsored by Bitburger and only available at Brewfest. I’d buy that for a dollar.

Sierra Nevada, Oktoberfest Collaboration with Bitburger: It’s become somewhat of a tradition for Sierra Nevada to unveil its annual Oktoberfest collaboration at Bend Brewfest.

I’m a fan of this tradition.

Oakshire Brewing, Smoke N Hell: A helles lager brewed with smoked spruce tips? Could be delicious or a disaster, but there’s only one way to find out.

Goodlife Brewing, Man of the Hour (X-tap Only, Friday at 4 pm): This barrel-aged Flemish red was one of the last beers brewed by beloved Goodlife founder/brewmaster Curt Plants, who passed away in 2017.

Porter Brewing, Irish Redmond Ale: Keep it real with this cask-conditioned red ale from Redmond.

As always, it will be hot. It will be crowded. But it’s a surefire good time if you follow these final tips for Brewfest success: 1. Hydrate: Drink lots of water. Seriously, you will be happy you did. Bring a refillable water bottle and take advantage of the water filling station.

Kids are allowed at Bend Brewfest until 5 pm every day.

2. Protect yourself from the sun.

Hats and sunscreen are highly encouraged and almost a requirement.

3. Eat. Eat before you go and take advantage of the awesome food vendors featured at the festival.

4. Seek out the beers you want to try first to make sure you actually try them. Even the best-laid plans have a

tendency to go by the wayside after a few tasters.

5. Be excellent to each other.

Learn to Say Goodbye

Awkwafina refreshes in "The Farewell"

By Jared Rasic Photo courtesy of A24

I

’m not sure what I expected from “The Farewell”—maybe something slightly schmaltzy, with multiple moments of unearned conflict and manipulative attempts to get the audience to reach for their hankies. That sounds harsh, but I don’t trust tearjerkers. They try so desperately to cash in on my emotional dollars that most of them feel like cynical sideshow hucksters, ready to do anything to pull a reaction from us rubes.

“The Farewell” is the opposite of all that. It floats on a cloud of such brittle emotional honesty that anytime the film threatens to sink into melodrama, a moment of unusual power lifts it back up again. Lulu Wang’s script and direction (based on a story she lived through) aren’t designed to make you cry; instead, the film is interested in sharing universal truths across cultural and generational divides.

Billi (played with effortless naturalism by Awkwafina), a Chinese-American woman living in New York City, finds out her beloved grandmother— or in Mandarin, Nai Nai—back in Changchun, China, has terminal lung cancer. The twist is that everyone in the family knows about the cancer, except for grandma, who thinks her medical results were benign. Everyone wants her to be able to enjoy her last few months with her friends and family without having to worry about anything—so they stage a wedding as an excuse for everyone in the family to spend time with Nai Nai.

Awkwafina is the best actress named for bottled water I’ve ever seen.

A lesser film would have made the driving focus of the film be the cultural differences between Billi and her Chinese relatives, creating a fish-outof-water story that we’ve seen a thousand times before. Luckily, Lulu Wang lived this story and knows how to find every single grace note possible, never resorting to an easy laugh or a manipulative tear-jerk.

Wang and editors Michael Taylor and Matthew Friedman brilliantly cut away just as a scene reaches its crescendo. One scene sees Billi, who had given up playing the piano years earlier,

sit down and start playing, stunning the entire room to silence. Instead of watching the family react to Billi’s beautiful but flawed playing, we stay right on the subtle micro-expressions of Awkwafina as she plays with more and more passion. Just before the music builds to an explosion, the film cuts away, not giving us the awkward silence that would follow once she finished playing her song. The moment is breathtaking.

There’s a lot of hype on this movie (which now rests at 99% on Rotten Tomatoes), and anyone expecting something earth-shattering will be let

down. All the joys from this film are subtle moments, not necessarily designed to be massive and crowd-pleasing. This doesn’t want to have the hyperbolic power of “A Star is Born” or the quaint quirk of “The Shape of Water.” Instead, it’s a quiet and unassuming little movie that will stay in your heart for a long time to come.

The Farewell

and fun, so here’s hoping 2019 brings us another horror classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

female director who got into the movie business when she was just 21…in 1894. A truly remarkable look at a time in film we rarely get to see. Tin Pan Theater

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME: Marvel is

BRIAN BANKS: The heartbreaking true story of a football star who loses everything when he’s convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. A very rough look at systemic racism and the failure of our justice system when it comes to people of color.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

DARK PHOENIX: Hey, look, another adaptation of the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” a much beloved comic arc from the 1980s. I wonder if they’ll get it right this time? It can’t be worse than “X-Men: The Last Stand,” can it? Oh, sweet summer child. It can always get worse…especially in Hollywood. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD: A perfect

one for the kiddos that sees Dora’s relentlessly upbeat attitude take on public school. Oh, and she has to head back to the jungle for some Indiana Jones-esque adventures with her new friends and her favorite little animated monkey. Looks cute and annoying at the same time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

ECCO: A visually stunning story that looks like a low-budget take on “John Wick.” There’s not much advance word on the film, but the solid trailer makes the film play like a psychological thriller mixed with a hitman action flick. I’m there for it. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ECHO IN THE CANYON: Baby Boomers need movies,

too! This documentary focuses on the Laurel Canyon folk music scene of the 1960s that gave birth to bands including The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas and The Byrds. Los Angeles rock documentaries have been on a roll over the last few years with classics such as “Sound City” and “The Defiant Ones,” and this looks like another winner. Tin Pan Theater

GLORIA BELL: Julianne Moore gives one of her finest performances as a woman who finds love at a time when she was searching for anything but something serious. A surprising and heartfelt little movie. Odem Theater Pub HOBBS & SHAW: Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham

♥ Party Supplies ♥ Costumes & Wigs ♥ Vaporizers

THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE: Imagine the mannered hilarity of a Wes Anderson movie combined with the darkness of “Taxi Driver” and you have something approaching the strangeness of this weirdly unforgettable film. It covers gun culture, toxic masculinity and the plight of the beta male with jaw-dropping ease. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub. THE FAREWELL: A bittersweet and lovely dramedy about the lengths we go to for family and the ways different cultures say goodbye. One of the best films of the year so far and destined to go down as the funniest movie about grief ever made. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. THE KITCHEN: Melissa McCarthy, Elisabeth Moss and Tiffany Haddish star as housewives in Hell’s Kitchen in the 1970s whose husbands all get sent to prison, so they take over their little corner of the city for the Irish mob. A similar story to “Widows,” but with a cast this strong it’s hard to resist. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PAVAROTTI: Even if you don’t know opera, you’ve probably heard the name Pavarotti, the most famous tenor of all time. He makes everything sound good. He’s like the Barry White of opera. This is a documentary about his life. I bet he sings in it. Odem Theater Pub SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK: Based

One of the best films of 2019 so far (and another winner for A24) follows a man who wants to reclaim the Victorian house his grandfather built. A very funny and moving film from astoundingly gifted filmmaker Joe Talbot. Sisters Movie House, Tin Pan Theater pretty to look at and everything, but if it doesn’t have Jeremy Irons playing Scar, then I’m gonna make a hard pass. I’m sure I’ll see it at some point, but messing with perfection is never a good idea—even if it’s Disney messing with their own perfect ideas. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

you like Tarantino or you don’t, and this big hearted and strange fantasy won’t change your mind. Simultaneously a love letter to 1969 Hollywood and a dirge for the loss of innocence those times stirred in us as a country, “Once Upon a Time” is a glorious cinematic treasure. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub.

on the book of short stories that gave me nightmares for years comes this mega-disturbing horror anthology from the director of “Troll Hunter.” The trailers look atmospheric

THEM THAT FOLLOW: A haunting and fascinating redneck noir flick that looks at snake handlers in the Appalachian Mountains. Movies like this and “Winter’s Bone” are so specific and well-made that they feel like doorways into completely different galaxies. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TOY STORY 4: If “Toy Story 3” was about the very human

fear of obsolescence, then “Toy Story 4” focuses on the idea of taking chances in life long past the point where we feel like we have nothing left to offer the world. These movies are dark and sad and weird. I hope Disney and Pixar keep making them—forever. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

YESTERDAY: Director Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting” &

“Sunshine”) taking on the concept of a world where no one remembers the Beatles sounds perfect. His films all use music beautifully and his sense of color, light and frame are densely theatrical, so combining his visual style with the Beatles seems like a match made in musical theater heaven.

ook, I realize it’s incredibly impersonal to talk about the weather… especially with you. We’re closer than that. I’d rather find out how your summer has been and whether you’ve been properly hydrating—but I know you have. You’re responsible; I just worry because it’s so hot outside. If you need something to do while cooling down next to a giant fan of some kind, or while floating in an aboveground pool, here are a few things you can stream to make the heat a little more bearable.

blown by the podcast Yoga is Dead.

One of the newest episodes is called “Karma Capitalism Killed Yoga,” and the Indian American hosts Tejal and Jesal break down the predators within the yoga scene. I guess I’m such a sweet summer child that I just assumed that if you were in the yoga scene you were probably into it for good reasons, but I should have known. There’s something sketchy about those hot yoga instructors. I think they might be sadists.

Season Three of Hello from the Magic Tavern just started a couple of weeks ago and it’s as funny as ever.

The creepiness of "Mindhunter."

a podcast with a wizard and a shapeshifter. Oh, and the entire thing is improvised, meaning that any and every idea that they come up with during any given episode becomes set-in-stone mythology for the series.

It’s a hoot.

The warmth of "Dear White People."

Now Streaming Now that the weather is so nice, you definitely don’t want to waste your time on garbage, so let me see if I can be of any help.

“Another Life” wants to be an intimate sci-fi epic along the lines of “Arrival,” but instead it’s just scene after scene stolen from other better sci-fi movies. It’s nice to see Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck from “Battlestar Galactica”) on the screen again, but her presence just reminds me of much-better space shows.

The final season of “Orange is the New Black” is underwhelming, the new Netflix original movie “Girls with Balls” is the worst horror movie I’ve seen so far this year, and the new season of “Dear White People” slows the pace down to a crawl. Hopefully when the new season of “Mindhunter” lands soon, then Netflix will get its groove back.

For intelligent and excellent programming, check out the new season of “The Sinner,” which is the highlight of 2019 television for me so far. Or check out the piercing thriller “The Red Sea Diving Resort,” the shockingly entertaining vampire thrill ride “Van Helsing” or the surprisingly hilarious “Toast of London.” Seriously, watch whatever you want, but please avoid “Girls with Balls.” That’s one of the worst. Ever.

Healthy Self OUTSIDE AAs teens and young adults struggle more than ever with mental health issues, wilderness therapy offers a way to unplug

By Keely Damara

I

nstead of meeting regularly in a medical office, the clinical team at New Vision Wilderness takes things outside, facilitating group and individual therapy for young people and families year-round.

Gear and food are part of the cost of attending the programs that transport patients to various field locations throughout Central Oregon, including sites in the Deschutes National Forest. Teens stay a minimum of 45 days, but the average stay is between six to 10 weeks. The retreats are not punishment based, says Andrew Scott, the executive director of NVW, but are centered around getting to the root of traumatic events that their patients may have experienced—whether that be bullying, a parents’ divorce or the death of a grandparent.

“One of the biggest misconceptions about wilderness therapy—that comes from the way it used to run— is that these are bootcamps working with adjudicated youth and so on,” says Scott. “As word gets out, more and more families get helped by what we do, they discover that it’s a very relational model that works on building healthy relationships.”

According to a 2017 Pew Research poll, nearly 3.2 million, or 13%, of teens between the ages of 12 to 17 reported experiencing one major depressive episode in the last year, compared to 8% of teens in 2007. Additionally, a 2018 Pew Research survey of adolescents 13 to 17 found that seven in 10 teens feel that anxiety and depression are both major problems affecting people their age in their community.

Courtesy Evoke Therapy Programs

Evoke Therapy Programs offer wilderness therapy retreats for small groups of adolescents and young adults.

According to The National Institutes of Health, youth spend an average of five to seven hours in front of screens per day. A 2018 San Diego State University study on the relationship between diagnoses of anxiety and depression in youth and screen time found that screen time can adversely affect the well-being of children and teens. The study suggests capping child and adolescent screen time to two hours a day.

Brad Reedy, Ph.D., is the owner and clinical director for Evoke Therapy Programs, which operates a youth wilderness program near Bend. He says screens and technology have become a mimicry of connection, but in reality, they isolate us. Recently, while speaking with someone who struggles with depression, Reedy says they conveyed that it’s really “hard to be human.”

Courtesy Evoke Therapy Programs

Evoke Therapy field staff relax around a campfire.

“That’s because you were never taught to be human, you were taught to be good,” says Reedy. “And when you’re taught to be good, it ensures your failure in the world.”

Reedy travels the country, giving lectures and hosting parenting workshops. He’s passionate about his work helping families raise children with a healthy sense of self.

“We’re not raising children to be a healthy self—we’re raising them to be a good student, a good athlete, a good something or other,” says Reedy.

“Really, the job of a parent, is to raise a healthy self.”

Parents naturally have a tendency to want to fix the problems affecting their children, says Reedy, instead of just listening—and that can have an adverse effect on the relationship and not give adolescents what they need to feel safe and cope.

“The number-one feature that creates resiliency in children is having somebody in their life that can see them,” says Reedy. “If you can be seen, you develop a sense that you’re OK.” The small group therapy coordinated at ETP replicates the family relationships at home, utilizing nature as a backdrop to nomadic primitive living.

Six to nine adolescents are grouped with three or four staff and a therapist, hiking spot to spot and working together to set up camp, cook and do other daily chores.

“Wilderness, the outdoors, changes your brain chemistry,” says Reedy.

“There’s lots of research that says getting outside, hiking, good diet, sleep— all of those things in any therapy

improves mood. It invites a kind of mindfulness, too.”

Emily Moser, the director of YouthLine Programs, agrees that parents often have difficulty listening without giving advice or passing judgement— and that’s one of the reasons their model of having teenagers answer their helpline is effective. YouthLine is a peer-to-peer helpline that aims to prevent abuse and suicide by promoting mental wellness.

“If you’re a parent or you’re a teacher, the most important thing is to really have an awareness around when there’s behavior changes,” says Moser. “Then having the capacity to talk about it, which is the hard part for a lot of people.”

The cost of wilderness therapy can be prohibitive to many families, especially since many insurance providers won’t cover these treatments. Both wilderness programs have a base enrollment fee ranging from $3,000 to $3,500, with an additional fee of $545 per day. The average length of the programs is six to 10 weeks.

Scott says that they’ve made a concerted effort to make their wilderness programs more accessible to everyone by offering scholarships, and families have had luck in securing public funds for their program in Wisconsin.

Helping Wildlife Get By

O

Think Wild prepares to start taking in creatures at its rehab facility

By Jim Anderson

O

n a Saturday and Sunday afternoon in July, the brand-new wildlife rehabilitation facility, Think Wild, east of Bend, created a traffic jam with its open house. A lot of people from Bend, Tumalo, LaPine, Sisters and Redmond came out to check out what Think Wild was all about.

So, here’s the skinny. The facility once housed another wildlife rehab facility that went belly-up. Think Wild is an entirely new organization, sort of like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. It has a board of directors made up of local people who have diverse professional backgrounds and experiences. With Michelle van Hilten as executive director and Max Lipman as director of wildlife rehabilitation, the new facility will be ready to take in injured wildlife animals and prepare them to re-enter the wild by the end of the month, they say.

They also have 11-year-old Payton Johnston from La Pine to bring new life into the operation. In 2015, when Payton was 7 years old, she and her sweet and wonderful mom, Amanda, began transporting sick and injured wildlife from southern Deschutes County to the previous facility. She started helping out regularly then became an indispensable member of the staff.

Payton told me, “Dr. Cooney was so very good to me; he told me all about what he was doing as he worked on an injured or sick animal, and why the work he was doing would help it to get better.”

Payton and Amanda kept hauling injured and sick animals from the La

Pine countryside to the facility, and stayed to pitch in and do laundry and mix bird food two days a week. That’s easy to say, but keep in mind it’s a little over 24 miles from her house to the facility, one way. It wasn’t uncommon for her and her mom to make that 24-mile run in the middle of the night when someone delivered a sick or injured bird to the Johnstons’ home.

Then, in 2017, Payton started her Injured Wildlife Hot Line. She also began making special shoe-box sized shipping containers she used to transport her injured birds and other animals to the clinic.

Payton says, “I don’t like spiders, but everything else is OK,” and "everything else" includes, song birds, porcupines, rabbits, skunks, ducks and just about any wild animal she could get into the family car to haul to the clinic.

When the previous facility folded, Payton discovered Elise Wolf ’s Native Bird Care rehabilitation clinic in Sisters, and made arrangements to meet Elise in Bend to deliver sick or injured birds.

Now Payton shares tips about what’s going on in the injured wildlife world via the Think Wild website, thinkwild. org. In addition to Payton, van Hilten states that, “We have a part-time volunteer wildlife veterinary technician, and 10 certified veterinary technicians who will be doing volunteer rotations throughout the week.

“We will be in regular communication with ODFW and USFW, submitting

monthly updates on the patients and impacts we are seeing around our community. We will be supporting the wildlife rehab community in filling gaps for wildlife care and working collaboratively with these specialists, and are providing support for the rehab community and the general public through our Wildlife Hotline which is currently operational seven days a week.”

A big part of Think Wild’s mission is education outreach for students as well as being a liaison to the community on conservation issues facing wildlife. They plan to be available for K-12 schools and educational facilities throughout Central Oregon in the future.

To help keep the wheels of wildlife rehab humming smoothly, Think Wild encourages community support to help build a series of outdoor enclosures designed to rehabilitate and condition patients for successful release back into the wild. Anyone can support an enclosure through various levels of sponsorship.

The wildlife hospital, located at the northeast corner of Neff and Erickson roads east of Bend, is not open to the public. The staff asks that anyone needing to bring in an injured animal call the wildlife hotline first: 541-241-8680, 8am to 8pm.

Sunlight-powered homes generating all they need

A

ccording to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, buildings in the residential and commercial sectors account for 40% of the total energy consumption in the U.S. Green homes and buildings are helping immensely with reducing energy requirements, but homeowners can do even more to help offset dependence on fossil fuels. The solution is to build or retrofit homes to be Net Zero or Zero Energy. These homes are highly efficient, built very air tight, insulated extremely well, utilize non-toxic materials and generate all of their own renewable solar energy.

Solar-powered dwellings are designed to be very energy efficient, with low energy requirements. Many Net Zero homes take advantage of thoughtful, intentional passive solar design to assist in these efforts. Passive solar homes respond appropriately to the sun and different seasons. During the cooler months they allow the sun in for lighting and heating and during the warmer months they can shade sunlight and use heat dissipation to keep the home cool. Ancient Greeks, Romans and Chinese were the first to implement and refine these basic principles. We’ve seen passive-solar homes being built in the U.S. since around 1930s and steadily growing in popularity.

Air-tight construction is another main emphasis in Net Zero buildings and re-circulating fresh air into the home is a necessity. This gives the opportunity to use highly energy-effective ventilation to filter,

monitor and maintain high indoor air quality with less dust, smoke and allergens.

A Bend-based organization, Zero Energy Project, states that, “with cost-effective design and construction, the energy-saving features and solar collectors for a zero-energy home may add 5 to 10% over the cost of a similar-sized home built to code, after incentives.

However, the average monthly energy savings on the zero home will be significantly greater than the added monthly mortgage payment. As a result, the total cost of ownership of a cost effective zero energy home will be less than that of a comparable home built to code, creating positive cash flow the very first month of ownership.” If the complete-zero package is too much for the budget, a home could be built Net Zero Ready, meaning the home is built to high energy-efficient standards and is ready to accept solar panels in the future, allowing the homeowner to add solar as finances allow.

One step beyond the Net-Zero standards is the Net-Positive home, which creates more energy than it uses. These homes make an abundance of energy that goes back into the power grid and in turn helps to power the community. Imagine these homes as mini satellite power plants. Incorporating these strategies on as many homes as possible could eliminate the need for large power plants, and allow individual residences to provide their own communities with renewable, clean and reliable power.

I met a guy, and he was very enthusiastic, calling and texting multiple times every day, almost obsessively. Soon after, I was having a really bad week: too much work, health issues with my parent…just really vulnerable. He said stuff like “I’d never leave you,” “I’ll never run away.”

Well, a couple of days later, he just vanished. I blocked him after two days of no contact, and I feel kind of bad. All my girlfriends think it was too harsh, but my guy friends think it was the right thing to do and said they block people all the time. Why the difference in opinion?

—Ghosted Being in a relationship can have some costs, but ideally, they don’t include hiring a private detective with a team of tracking dogs.

It actually isn’t surprising that your male and female friends have differing reactions to your blocking the dude. Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen’s research suggests that women are born empathizers in a way men are not—meaning that from early childhood on, women are driven to notice and identify others’ emotional states.

They tend to be deeply affected by others’ feelings and are emotionally triggered into a sort of fellow feeling (empathy). Men, on the other hand, tend to be “systemizers,” driven from early childhood on to identify the “underlying rules” of the inanimate world, like those governing the operation of machines, abstractions (such as numbers), and objects (like a soaring baseball).

Of course, men aren’t without empathy. But research consistently finds women higher in empathy than men. Law professor and evolutionary scientist Kingsley Browne observes in “Co-Ed Combat: The New Evidence That Women Shouldn’t Fight the Nation’s Wars” that women’s “greater empathy may be responsible for the heightened guilt and anxiety that women feel about acting aggressively.” Browne cites brain imaging research by neuroscientist Tania Singer that suggests men’s empathy for a wrongdoer “may be more easily ‘switched off,’” and observes that “men’s diminished empathy for those who ‘deserve’ punishment probably increases their willingness to kill the enemy” in war.

The thing is biology is not destiny. Recognizing that you, as a woman, might have a propensity to be “nice” to people who don’t deserve it can prompt you to recheck your decisions to go easy on somebody. Don’t expect it to feel comfortable at first when you stand up for yourself; you’re bucking countless centuries of evolved human female psychology. In time, however, acting

empowered should start to feel right— meaning you’ll be all “Of course!” about blocking a guy who doesn’t get that just disappearing is acceptable only for a tiny subgroup of beings: those whose workstation is a magician’s top hat.

Hunk Bonds I’ve slept with a lot of really hot guys, but weirdly, the guys who end up being my long-term boyfriends are not the super hot ones. My current boyfriend is attractive but not even close in hotness to some of the guys I’ve had one-nighters with in the past. I’ve noticed this pattern in female friends’ guys, too.

Why is this a thing?

—Interested There’s a certain kind of man a woman looks to date exclusively...for Amy Alkon three to five hours.

I often cite research from evolutionary psychology that finds that women across cultures prioritize finding a man who’s a “provider.” A man’s appearance isn’t unimportant, but context—whether a woman’s going for a long-term or short-term thing with a man—is a factor in how much it matters. Not surprisingly, if a guy is a potential husband, a woman’s more likely to make do with, say, a dad bod and a weak chin than if she sees him as a potential hookup—a disposable himbo, a single-use Adonis.

A possible evolutionary explanation for this is the “sexy son hypothesis.” Evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains that “by mating with an especially attractive man, a woman might be able to bear a son who is especially attractive to women in the next generation. Her son might have increased sexual access, produce more children, and hence might provide his mother with additional grandchildren.”

There is support for this idea in research by biological anthropologist David Waynforth, which finds that ladies on the hookup track prefer men with more masculine facial features -- a la square-jawed superheroes.

Hookup-minded women likewise favor more muscular men (according to research by social psychologist Michael J. Bernstein).

However, when a woman needs to make trade-offs between hunkaliciousness and character to land a long-term partner, it surely pays to relax a little on physical criteria: go for a really good man who’s good enough in the looks department.

“Good enough”? He doesn’t have to be smokin’ hot, but he can’t be so uggo that you need to reassure him, “Not to worry!

My sex drive will come back...um, when you’re on the mantelpiece in an urn.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Moray eels have two sets of jaws. The front set does their chewing. The second set, normally located behind the first, can be launched forward to snag prey they want to eat. In invoking this aggressive strategy to serve as a metaphor for you in the coming weeks, I want to suggest that you be very dynamic and enterprising as you go after what you want and need.

Don’t be rude and invasive, of course, but consider the possibility of being audacious and zealous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s relatively rare, but now and then people receive money or gifts from donors they don’t know. Relatives they’ve never met may bequeath them diamond tiaras or alpaca farms or bundles of cash. I don’t think that’s exactly what will occur for you in the coming weeks, but I do suspect that you’ll garner blessings or help from unexpected sources. To help ensure the best possible versions of these acts of grace, I suggest that you be as generous as possible in the kindness and attention you offer. Remember this verse from the Bible: “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libra-born Ronald McNair was an African American who grew up in a racist town in South Carolina in the 1950s. The bigotry cramped his freedom, but he rebelled. When he was nine years old, he refused to leave a segregated library, which prompted authorities to summon the police. Years later, McNair earned a PhD in Physics from MIT and became renowned for his research on laser physics. Eventually, NASA chose him to be an astronaut from a pool of 10,000 candidates. That library in South Carolina? It’s now named after him. I suspect that you, too, will soon receive some vindication, Libra: a reward or blessing or consecration that will reconfigure your past.

SCORPIO (Oct. 3-Nov. 21): Scorpio author Zadie Smith wrote, “In the end, your past is not my past and your truth is not my truth and your solution—is not my solution.” I think it will be perfectly fine if sometime soon you speak those words to a person you care about. In delivering such a message, you won’t be angry or dismissive. Rather, you will be establishing good boundaries between you and your ally; you will be acknowledging the fact that the two of you are different people with different approaches to life.

And I bet that will ultimately make you closer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Nothing fruitful ever comes when plants are forced to flower in the wrong season,” wrote author and activist Bette Lord. That’s not entirely true. For example, skilled and meticulous gardeners can compel tulip and hyacinth bulbs to flower before they would naturally be able to. But as a metaphor, Lord’s insight is largely accurate. And I think you’ll be wise to keep it in mind during the coming weeks. So my advice is: don’t try to make people and processes ripen before they are ready. But here’s a caveat: you might have modest success working to render them a bit more ready.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “For though we often need to be restored to the small, concrete, limited, and certain, we as often need to be reminded of the large, vague, unlimited, unknown.” Poet A. R. Ammons formulated that shiny burst of wisdom, and now I’m passing it on to you. As I think you know, you tend to have more skill at and a greater inclination toward the small, concrete, limited, and certain.

That’s why, in my opinion, it’s rejuvenating for you to periodically exult in and explore what’s large, vague, unlimited, unknown. Now is one of those times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Look into my eyes.

Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.”

Poet Sylvia Plath wrote that, and now, in accordance with astrological omens, I’m authorizing you to say something similar to anyone who is interested in you but would benefit from gazing more deep-

ly into your soul and entering into a more profound relationship with your mysteries. In other words, you have cosmic permission to be more forthcoming in showing people your beauty and value.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his Anti-Memoirs, author André Malraux quotes a tough-minded priest who served in the French Resistance during World War II. He spent his adult life hearing his parishioners’ confessions. “The fundamental fact is that there’s no such thing as a grown-up person,” the priest declared. Even if that’s mostly true, Pisces, my sense is that it is less true about you right now than it has ever been. In the past months, you have been doing good work to become more of a fully realized version of yourself. I expect that the deepening and maturation process is reaching a culmination.

Don’t underestimate your success! Celebrate it!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): How did sound technicians create the signature roar of the fictional monster Godzilla? They slathered pine-tar resin on a leather glove and stroked it against the strings of a double bass. How about the famous howl of the fictional character Tarzan? Sonic artists blended a hyena’s screech played backwards, a dog’s growl, a soprano singer’s fluttered intonation slowed down, and an actor’s yell. Karen O, lead singer of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, periodically unleashes very long screams that may make the hair stand up on the back of her listeners’ necks. In accordance with astrological omens, I’d love to see you experiment with creating your own personal Yowl or Laugh or Whisper of Power in the coming weeks: a unique sound that would boost your wild confidence and help give you full access to your primal lust for life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough,” said Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, ex-President of Liberia. In accordance with astrological imperatives, I propose that we make that your watchword for the foreseeable future. From what I can tell, you’re due to upgrade your long-term goals. You have the courage and vision necessary to dare yourself toward an even more fulfilling destiny than you’ve been willing or ready to imagine up until now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): How did our ancestors ever figure out that the calendula flower can be used as healing medicine for irritated and inflamed skin? It must have been a very long process of trial and error. (Or did the plant somehow “communicate” to indigenous herbalists, informing them of its use?) In any case, this curative herb is only one of hundreds of plants that people somehow came to adjudge as having healing properties. “Miraculous” is not too strong a word to describe such discoveries. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Gemini, you now have the patience and perspicacity to engage in a comparable process: to find useful resources through experiment and close observation—with a hardy assist from your intuition.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today the city of Timbuktu in Mali is poor and in the throes of desertification. But from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries, it was one of the great cultural centers of the world. Its libraries filled up with thousands of influential books, which remained intact until fairly recently. In 2012, Al-Qaeda jihadists conceived a plan to destroy the vast trove of learning and scholarship. One man foiled them. Abba alHadi, an illiterate guard who had worked at one of the libraries, smuggled out many of the books in empty rice sacks. By the time the jihadists started burning, most of the treasure had been relocated. I don’t think the problem in your sphere is anywhere near as dire as this, Cancerian. But I do hope you will be proactive about saving and preserving valuable resources before they’re at risk of being diluted, compromised, or neglected.

Opt Out Afoot

Deschutes County plans to add a measure to the 2020 ballot, asking residents to weigh in on future marijuana growing operations

By Jeremy Dickman

n making a decision during their Aug. 8 Deschutes County Board meeting to “opt out” of allowing further marijuana business applications, commissioners have ensured that the country mouse/city mouse fight over cannabis farms will go through the 2020 election. And perhaps beyond.

If you haven’t been closely following the county’s marijuana soap opera, here’s a refresher: Deschutes County rewrote some of the time, place and manner rules for rural marijuana businesses last fall. Several industry members and groups, along with the Deschutes County Farm Bureau, appealed these amendments to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, claiming they were unreasonable and unconstitutional. In response, the County notified LUBA that it planned to withdraw the amendments and stay the proceedings pending further deliberations at the county level. The Board then held a public meeting in which it took comment over the three paths forward: 1. Withdraw the amendments entirely; 2. Make changes to the amendments; or 3. Press on with the amendments intact and fight at LUBA. During that raucous public hearing on July 3, dozens of rural residents showed up in force, and didn’t care to discuss the text amendments. They wore T-shirts and carried signs demanding that the County “opt out” of the marijuana business entirely. Though opting out was not technically a choice on the meeting’s agenda, apparently the impassioned residents got through to the Commissioners, because that’s exactly what they plan to do.

Now, the County is poised to add its own hot-button issue to an already heated 2020 campaign season. In fact, there may be up to four choices on the ballot: one asking residents to vote to opt “in” or “out” for production, one for processing, one for retail, and one for wholesale.

(County Counsel David Doyle at the Aug. 8 meeting pointed out that processing facilities cannot exist without attenuated production under existing county rules, so voting out production would necessarily prohibit processing.)

The decision won’t affect existing marijuana businesses, or even applicants still waiting in the County’s queue. Moreover, the statewide moratorium issued by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has largely stemmed the tide of new marijuana entrepreneurs.

For Commissioner Chair Phil Henderson, this decision by the Board was in no small part a last-ditch effort to retain the power to regulate grows; the Farm Bureau has argued in a brief to LUBA that the “Right to Farm” statute should trump any

regulation by the County. One couldn’t help but sense a touch of anger over what Henderson seems to perceive as betrayal by the industry players and the Farm Bureau. He reminded those present that cannabis industry members helped draft the original marijuana TPM rules in 2016.

“Now we have the Farm Bureau working to remove our ability to regulate it,” he said. “That is motivating me to do something on the local level before the state Legislature takes away our right to do anything.”

Henderson indicated a desire to move forward with the marijuana text amendment fight at LUBA, even as the county bans new applications. Theoretically, Doyle advised, they could continue to argue that the new regulations – the most restrictive of any county in the state – are both reasonable and constitutional even as the “opt-out” decision remains operative. But there would be virtually no upside to the County from a legal or practical standpoint.

“Deschutes County would be making law that applies to everywhere but Deschutes County,” pointed out Adam Smith, assistant counsel for the county. Smith and Doyle both indicated the county could simply reintroduce, and ratify, the 2018 text amendments between the November 2020 election, and 2021, when the results take effect.

Commissioner Tony DeBone agreed with County counsel. “It’s one less moving part. … it’s simpler,” he said of the decision to abandon the text amendments fight at LUBA. Henderson was undeterred and wouldn’t assent to joining the other two commissioners to make it unanimous.

If all of this has you confused, then I’ll leave you with this: Henderson wants to spend thousands in County funds on legal, staff, and board resources in fighting a moot point at LUBA so he can say the County is right.

Henderson also waxed on about the plight of retirees moving to Deschutes County’s farm country and being confronted with farming practices. Or, at least, the kind that didn’t officially exist until 20 years ago, when medical marijuana was legalized in Oregon.

“It’s our job not just to look out for an emerging industry, but to look out for the thousands and thousands of people who moved here for the reasons they moved here,” he added at the top of the meeting. “[Those people are] investing their money and expecting farming to be the things we’ve always known.”

Let the axes grind all the way to November 2020.
