OPINION

We aren’t the enemy of the people. We ARE the people.

A note from the Source editorial board: This week, newspapers across the nation are taking a collective stand in issuing this joint editorial, aimed at standing together in defense of the institution of journalism and the absolutely crucial role it plays in a government for, and by, the people—regardless of political affiliation or the stance of respective editorial boards. We are not the enemy of the people. Walk through our doors at the Source Weekly and you will likely recognize our faces from soccer games, PTO meetings or a festive night at the local pub. We care deeply about this community and our many local, state and federal institutions—and we come to work every day in support of defending, and shedding light on, the truth in each of them. We thank The New York Press Association and Judy Patrick, NYPA vice president for editorial development, for offering this joint statement. We’ve been complacent. We thought everybody knew how important a free press was to our world and that all this talk about us being the enemy of the people would be dismissed for the silliness that it is. But the reckless attacks have continued, instigated and encouraged by our president. When the leader of the free world works to erode the public’s trust in the media, the potential for damage is enormous, both here and abroad. We once set an example of free and open government for the world to follow. Now those who seek to suppress the free flow of information are doing so with impunity. The time has come for us to stand up to the bullying. The role journalism plays in our free society is too crucial to allow this degradation to continue. We aren’t the enemy of the people. We are the people. We aren’t fake news. We are your news and we struggle night and

day to get the facts right. On bitter cold January nights, we’re the people’s eyes and ears at town, village and school board meetings. We tell the stories of our communities, from the fun of a county fair to the despair a family faces when a loved one is killed. We are always by your side. We shop the same stores, attend the same churches and hike the same trails. We struggle with daycare and worry about paying for retirement. In our work as journalists, our first loyalty is to you. Our work is guided by a set of principles that demand objectivity, independence, open-mindedness and the pursuit of the truth. We make mistakes, we know. There’s nothing we hate more than errors but we acknowledge them, correct them and learn from them. Our work is a labor of love because we love our country and believe we are playing a vital role in our democracy. Self-governance demands that our citizens need to be well-informed and that’s what we’re here to do. We go beyond the government-issued press release or briefing and ask tough questions. We hold people in power accountable for their actions. Some think we’re rude to question and challenge. We know it’s our obligation. People have been criticizing the press for generations. We are not perfect. But we’re striving every day to be a better version of ourselves than we were the day before. That’s why we welcome criticism. But unwarranted attacks that undermine your trust in us cannot stand. The problem has become so serious that newspapers across the nation are speaking out against these attacks in one voice today on their editorial pages. As women’s rights pioneer and investigative journalist Ida B. Wells wrote in 1892: “The people must know before they can act and there is no educator to compare with the press.” SW

Tori Pearce, you clearly live in the paradigm where someone else is going to fix this for you; where you have no agency and little things don’t count (because they’re just so darn inconvenient). I cannot fathom what you think I should be doing about the “larger problems causing global warming”… stopping airline traffic? Shutting down coal mines? Firing Trump? The real question is: What are YOU doing about the larger problems that you feel you need to shut down people who are resisting apathy by acting, in their own community, no matter how small the gesture? When enough people do small things, they add up to big things. So here’s to all the vigilantes out there! —Vanessa Schulz

IN RESPONSE TO, “WALDEN SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH ON DEBATING MCLEOD-SKINNER” ON 8/9 Walden knows that McLeod-Skinner will have him on the ropes if he debates her. He should cowboy up and agree to put his policies and plans up against hers. If he doesn’t, he’ll prove that he doesn’t want voters to have a choice in November. Who’s he representing? —Mary McClellan, via Bendsource.com

Walden seems to be afraid of McLeod-Skinner. Walden has basically had a free ride all the years he has supposedly represented his district. Sadly, he seldom represents the demographics of his district. In voting against the ACA and other safety net programs, he simply thumbs his nose at the majority of folks in his district. Now he occasionally shows up in the public because has a formidable opponent. Man up Greg Walden! Put on your big boy pants and debate McLeod-Skinner. You owe it to the people in your district - not the DC and Trumpette crowd. —Pat, via Bendsource.com

While Walden states email is his preferred contact method neither he nor his office responds directly. A robotic auto reply is all I have received. Greg used to get my vote but hasn’t for some time now. He no longer truly represents the people in his district. —Bob Kuehn, via Facebook

JARED RASIC'S REVIEW OF DEATH OF A NATION I have enjoyed Jared Rasic's movie reviews. Unfortunately his review of "Death of a Nation" is all opinion, ironically titling his review "Modern Propaganda" while showing his farleft bias. I have never seen either a Dinesh D'Souza (director of "Death of an Nation") or a Michael Moore movie. However, from all I have heard / read about their movies, D'Souza expresses a conservative viewpoint (bias?) and Moore a liberal viewpoint (bias?). Rasic says that documentaries don't need to be unbiased (I agree) but goes on to accuse D'Souza of playing fast and loose with the facts while praising Moore for taking on hot button issues to get the truth behind the rhetoric. If one were to Google reviews of Moore's movies, I'll bet one would find that many factual inaccuracies are pointed out. Rasic effectively accuses D'Souza of lying several time in his review (in addition to being manipulative and destructive); yet he does not

include a single example of an inaccuracy. Seems he believes expression of any conservative viewpoint is by definition "Propaganda." I'm not clear about what Rasic' means by his reference to the movie being a presentation to "the white middle class from the safety of a bomb shelter." But it feels like another leftest shot at being white and middle class. I confess; I am that and male too! So I must be racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, sexist, anti-immigrant, etc, right Mr. Rasic? — Jim Resney, Redmond, OR

Cops Arrest Man at Redmond Airport

By Nicole Vulcan Redmond Police say a Bend man bit an officer after trying to grab a 3-yearold child near the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at Roberts Field August 9. Cops arrested Arnulfo Maldonado, 25, after they say he tried to pull a child away from his mother and father. According to Redmond Police, the child’s father threatened Maldonado, so Maldonado let go of the child. From there, cops say Maldonado started running and screaming around the airport before security officers detained him. Cops say Maldonado tried to escape officers as they attempted to detain him, and then bit an officer on the hand. Officers used

Local developer secured financing for 48-unit building By Chris Miller Pacific Crest Affordable Housing, a Bend-based developer of affordable housing projects, has received millions in federal and state tax credits in an effort to afford to build the $15 million, 48-unit affordable apartment building near Pine Nursery Park in northeast Bend. The project, Canal Commons, is slated to have 12 one bed, one bath units, 28 two bed, one bath units and eight three bed, two bath units, with rents set at 30 to 53 percent of the area median income for 60 years, according to information from the Oregon Housing and Community Services. Deschutes County’s current AMI is rounded to $69,600 according to statistics from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s webpage. This means the rentals will be available for earners between $20,880 to $36,888 median income for a family of four. The City of Bend sold the land to Pacific Crest for its cost of $493,000 and awarded the developer $50,000 from its affordable housing fund, said Lynne McConnell, affordable housing manager for the city of Bend. “Pacific Crest really builds quality, affordable housing,” McConnell told the Source. The product they’ve done in Bend is really fantastic—no one can tell they are affordable housing. I’m proud of them for going out and getting the money.” The 48 units are part of phase one. Phase two has plans for the possibility of 36 more affordable units, according to information from Pacific Crest’s website.

a “WRAP” restraint device to subdue Maldonado. Cops transported Maldonado to the Redmond St. Charles emergency department for evaluation before booking him into the Deschutes County Jail. Maldonado was still in custody as of press time, facing charges including resisting arrest, assaulting a public safety officer, interfering with a peace officer and attempting to commit a crime. Redmond Police say cops in Bend arrested Maldonado on July 28 after Maldonado allegedly called 911 to ask for help. When officers let Maldonado use a phone to access a language line service, cops say Maldonado ran away with the phone. Cops captured him and got the phone back.

Campbell Announces Re-Election Bid

By Chris Miller On Aug. 9, Bend City Councilor Barb Campbell announced her re-election campaign for Position 6. According to the City’s website, she faces only one challenger, Ron Boozell. Campbell started her run on the council in November 2014. Campbell’s said she’s worked to make Bend more livable, create affordable housing options, protect current homeowners, improve transportation options and mitigate the negative effects of tourism, according to her press release. Campbell went on to say that she’s expanded the City’s urban growth boundary, made code and zoning changes to create complete neighborhoods, and is working with the Park District and ODOT to create a network of safe paths and sidewalks. “We need housing that is affordable for our current citizens and workforce,” Campbell said. “Attracting more wealthy, educated people who can afford our housing, attracting more industries which pay nice fat salaries does not help our cooks, carpenters, day care givers and auto mechanics. It simply means we need more of them.” SW

The Death of Sara: Not a One-Off

Intimate partner violence in Central Oregon is widespread, complex and concerning to women of many demographics By K.M. Collins

“Women are constantly told what they need to do to keep themselves safe, what not to wear, where not to go, who not to talk to. When will we start expecting men and predators to change their behavior?” —Anonymous

ara Diana Gomez’s local domestic violence story went viral when she was reported missing earlier this year. On Dec. 7, 2017, Gomez was granted a restraining order against her former partner of five years, Bryan Penner. Gomez’s plea for protection followed threats from Penner on Facebook (messages suggesting pistol whipping, stalking and posts sharing photos of a private nature), several unwelcome workplace visits and other documented violent acts throughout the relationship. In May, a hiker found Gomez’s body 20 miles east of Bend, wrapped in a tarp. Although the cause of death is still under investigation, Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel believes Penner killed Gomez. On the scene when Gomez’s body was recovered,

Central Oregon Daily Reporter Anyssa Bohanan explains, “I can only think of a couple of times since becoming a reporter where I had trouble remaining detached while in ‘work mode.’ That day was certainly one of them... I very coincidentally worked with one of her best friends. It was tough… in my reporting job I am literally supposed to treat stories as though I am a detached stranger. “Though I’ve never covered a partner violence case before, I’d be lying if I said Sara’s story didn’t affect me. I’ve known people personally who have attempted or even succeeded in getting a restraining order against their significant others and have seen how difficult it was for them to feel safe again.” According to Dara Pearson, the counseling center coordinator at Saving Grace, “Filing restraining orders are an option, but they are often not the safest choice. What research and experience tells us in the field of domestic violence is that oftentimes, protective orders have the opposite impact. Domestic violence is about power and control, about one person trying to control another person through the use of coercive, manipulating and abusive behavior. A restraining order can be perceived as a loss of control by a perpetrator, and their reaction can escalate

to violence. Saving Grace has offices in Bend, Redmond, La Pine, Madras and Prineville. As the sole provider of emergency and prevention services for domestic and sexual violence in the region since 1977, nonprofit Saving Grace serves an average of 10,000 individuals each year. Advocates say Central Oregon may be particularly susceptible to a systemic culture of domestic violence. “Rural areas are greatly impacted because of many factors, including generational poverty and historical trauma, as well as a lack of resources and sustainable system support,” explains Pearson. For Jane, a Central Oregon domestic abuse survivor whose name has been changed for privacy, support was difficult to find when she fled a violent intimate partner relationship nearly a decade ago. Services and community systems can fall very short, and outsiders rarely have a grasp on the complexity and nature of intimate partner violence, explains Jane. “It was hard to watch Sara’s story unfold in the news because I was able to connect with that situation so acutely. It’s such a tragedy and such a private thing. “People are willing to make continued on page 9...

NEWS comments and judgments and they don’t realize the impacts of those comments. People will dig into the woman’s life, think there is something insufficient about her, how she went wrong, how it was her fault. Sara didn’t want to be dead right now. It’s so much bigger and complex than people can comprehend. And the narratives are diverse.”

What research and experience tells us in the field of domestic violence is that oftentimes, protective orders have the opposite impact. Domestic violence is about power and control.

—DARA PEARSON

Although women’s recovery tends to be the focus in intimate partner violence discussions, the National Domestic Violence Hotline shows one in four women and one in seven men in the United States are survivors. Domestic violence survivors face a public informed by myth. “One of the most common myths is that victims can just leave if they want,” notes Pearson. “They can just walk out... What we know is leaving can be the most dangerous time, and post-separation violence can go on for years, in many forms, including physical, psychological, financial and spiritual abuse. This is why communities need to rally around survivors and make sure they have long-standing support and safety from the community in which they live.” In ongoing litigation over custody of children born with her abusive partner, Jane faces continued post-separation violence. She also feels, “Domestic violence is secretive. Survivors don’t want to be defined by it, so we don’t talk about it or we get a scarlet letter.” Volunteering with Saving Grace is an important part of Jane’s healing. “When you hear survivor stories, it’s crucial to be supportive and accepting. Allow them to be OK with it where they are at. It’s OK for the survivor to love the abuser and grieve

Domestic violence, as defined by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, threats, and emotional/psychological abuse. the loss. For the survivor, she is shedding a light on a complicated situation. When she unwraps that, there is a massive amount of guilt and other emotions. Pressuring someone to leave a situation immediately or cease contact can be detrimental. Telling someone it’s going to be OK can also be misleading. Just be there for the survivor and take it moment to moment.” From the Gomez case, reporter Bohanan concluded, “It made me fear for anyone I may know who could be going through a similar experience to Sara. What was stopping one of my own friends from becoming a victim? What if the next story I had to cover was the disappearance of someone I knew as a result of intimate partner violence?”

Reports referred to Gomez as a “beautiful soul, a track runner, a fisher woman, an accomplished outdoors person, a true Oregon girl" and “a strong, smart, and beloved member of our community.” Ironically, seven days before Gomez disappeared, she shared a link on her Facebook page, searching for two missing teen girls. To advocate for survivors, Saving Grace provides a 24-hour hotline, emergency shelter, individual crisis counseling for adults and children, protective order assistance, Mary’s Place supervised parent/child visit & safe exchange, individual and group counseling services, legal advocacy, and intervention-focused programs.

A River Runs Through Here “Without water no farms no food.”

»» Agriculture: An economic engine in Central Oregon

While the Kentucky Blue Grass and parsley seed crops represent a sizeable economic driver for the region, the size and scope of the carrot seed industry cannot be over-emphasized. The crop, which takes 13 months to grow and harvest, is critical to Jefferson County.

10 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / August 16, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

dwindling water takes a toll.

»» The Deschutes is everything The source for the iconic river, and the irrigation it provides, is Little Lava Lake in the high Cascades, where snowmelt feeds the Deschutes system, eventually winding its way 252 miles north, to the Columbia River. Along

the way it’s joined by numerous tributaries such as the Fall, Crooked and Metolius Rivers—and others that help sustain water needs for not only farmers, but the diverse recreational and tourism industry that drives the economy in Central Oregon. From Little Lava Lake, it’s only a short distance before the river reaches Tim Wehde, Central Oregon Daily

With that simple statement, Jefferson County Commissioner Mae Huston emphasizes the importance of irrigation water for farms near Madras, in Jefferson County, where the seed industry, along with other crops, are the lifeblood of the rural community. Without adequate water supplies for farmers, she says the City of Madras would be crippled. Farms would shut down. Businesses would close. People would be forced to move, and as she put it, “Madras could become a ghost town.” As you drive along Highway 97 you’ll see fields of carrot seed crops on both sides of the highway near Madras. As harvest time approaches, I spoke with several farmers, seed industry representatives, irrigation managers and others to get a sense of how important irrigation and the Deschutes River is to the region and to the economy of Central Oregon.

“We supply 40 percent of the world’s need for carrot seeds,” says Mike Weber, managing partner for Central Oregon Seeds, Inc., located near the Madras airport. As I tour the plant, Weber shows a rack of seed that will be exported to other countries, worth millions. Janet Brown, Jefferson county’s representative for Economic Development in Central Oregon, says, “When you grow almost half of the world’s carrot seed and about 75 percent of the U.S. carrot seed, that’s a huge economic engine not only for Jefferson County and Central Oregon, but the world.” In total, she estimates there’s a $30 to $35 million ripple effect the carrot seed industry brings to Jefferson County. “These seeds wind up in Holland, the Middle East, Japan and other countries where eventually carrots wind up on the dinner table,” says Weber. Michael Kirsch at Madras Farms takes pride in knowing he helps feed the world. “It’s neat to know that you as a farmer are producing something that ends up a long way from where it was grown and ultimately on someone’s dinner table.” The combination of warm weather during the day and cool nights make Central Oregon an ideal location for growing carrot seeds. It’s the premier growing region for this crop in the world, rivaled only by New Zealand. But, it’s dependent on the Deschutes River and how much seasonal irrigation water it can produce. That’s of major concern to those in Jefferson County, as hot weather and

It influences every aspect of our farming operation,” he says. Richards says one reason the carrot seed industry has thrived is because it can be efficiently produced through drip irrigation. “That helps save water, and the opportunity for efficiency is helping drive the industry.” While on-farm conservation measures are critical, so are measures now underway by the eight irrigation districts in Central Oregon. The Central Oregon Irrigation District is the oldest and largest of those districts, with two canals supplying water to thousands of patrons. With the age of the canals, where evaporation and leakage occurs, modernization in the delivery system has also become critical to saving water, irrigation officials say. Claims by advocacy groups that up to 50 percent of irrigation water is lost through evaporation and seepage isn’t “too far-fetched, keeping in mind the calculated losses include river losses,” says Britton of the North Unit Irrigation District. NUID water can travel 120 miles before it gets delivered to farms, he says. During the past winter, COID completed piping 3020 feet of canal—at a cost of $5 million—in the Brookswood neighborhood of Bend, saving 5 cubic feet of water flow per second, now returned to the river. A cubic foot of water is equal to 7.48 gallons, so 5 cubic feet per second adds up to a lot of water. “Every drop counts. To put it in perspective, we divert nearly 900 cubic feet per second between our two canals during the peak season,” says Shon Rae, deputy managing director. “Our 20-year capital plan estimates between 150 and 200 cfs will be conserved through piping projects.” COID also has a much larger near-term piping project now in the planning stages. A $40 million construction project could start as early as fall of 2019 from Smith Rock to King Way in Redmond, conserving much more water than the Brookswood piping project—an estimated 37 cubic feet per second, according to Rae. Long term, the irrigation districts are completing watershed plans to improve their delivery systems. Once that’s accomplished, they can apply for federal matching funds that could amount to nearly $100 million for modernization, according to Britton, who also heads up the Deschutes Basin Board of Control which comprises Central Oregon’s eight irrigation

districts.

»» Collaboration When environmental groups filed lawsuits, concerned with the health of

Deschutes River. “There’s been a lot of collaboration and focus on the river due to the Endangered Species Act, exacerbated by the drought conditions we’re in,” Tim Wehde, Central Oregon Daily

“I think people south of us in Bend sometimes think that’s just a Jefferson County issue and that they can get it worked out up there. It’s not. It’s an issue for all of us.”.” —JANET BROWN, EDCO-JEFFERSON COUNTY

the endangered Oregon spotted frog, Jefferson County farmers and others became worried if they would receive the water they needed for their crops. Numerous advocacy and user groups such as the Coalition for the Deschutes, Trout Unlimited of Bend, the irrigation districts and others began encouraging intense collaboration to find solutions that would meet all needs. It wasn’t an easy decision, but groups resolved to release more water from Wickiup Reservoir during the winter storage months to save the spotted frog. Now, 100 cubic feet per second of water is released during the winter months, compared to releases of as low as 25 cfs in past years. For those working to save the frog, it’s a beginning, but they note that more water needs to be released during the winter to fully restore the health of the

says farmer Richards. “It’s the number one priority for having a sustainable solution for all of Central Oregon whether it’s recreation, tourism, municipal use or farming.” The collaborative process to seek mutual agreements, he maintains, is showing promise. “A lot of people are at the table and willing to discuss options so there is still water available so it doesn’t put farmers like myself out of business.” The collaborative process has also received praise from opposite members of the political spectrum, including Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Congressman Greg Walden (R-OR2). Brown at EDCO-Jefferson County agrees the present collaboration is showing promise, but with a warning. “I think people south of us in Bend sometimes think that’s just a Jefferson County issue and that they can get

it worked out up there. It’s not. It’s an issue for all of us.” Her warning: “If you want to paddle board on the Deschutes in Bend, if you want to surf the rapids by the Colorado Bridge, you will need water. If we can’t all come to the table and agree on the spotted frog issue and let all the users who need water have water, then you won’t be able to do some of those things and that will really affect tourism in Bend.” The economic impact of outdoor recreation and tourism also can’t be overemphasized. Tourism continues to be the single-largest industry in Central Oregon, employing more than 9,400 people and generating total economic impacts that exceed $1.19 billion annually, according to the Central Oregon Visitors Association. And, with that economic reality, Brown not only urges more collaboration to seek solutions, but urges everyone who has a stake in the river to avoid lawsuits. It would appear the irrigation districts and the Coalition for the Deschutes are cooperating. The Coalition and the Deschutes Basin Board of Control recently jointly developed and signed a memorandum entitled: “A Shared Vision for the Deschutes: Working Together so Families, Farms, and Fish can Thrive.” North Unit’s Britton says, “There’s a long list of issues we contend with on a daily basis, but at the end of the day, it’s these crops that put food on the table.” Brown adds, “I think we can get there. Everyone’s at the table. If we don’t have any more lawsuits and everyone plays nice, then I think we’ll get there.” SW

CENTRAL

OREGON 2018

Here it is, Central Oregon: The issue many of you wait all year to swoop up off newsstands region-wide. Inside you’ll see the many businesses and individuals who are soaring above the rest and taking home top honors in our 2018 Best of Central Oregon readers’ poll. Thousands of people voted either online or with a paper ballot in Central Oregon’s most comprehensive and most popular readers’ poll—and since voters are required to cast votes in at least 25 categories, you know they’re sharing their opinions on more than just their one favorite local spot. New this year: Categories for Best Instagram feed, for Best Indoor and Outdoor Music Venues, and for Best Medical/Cosmetic Enhancement. Also back this year for the second time, Best Place to Work for Over and Under 50 Employees—popular categories for locals always looking for the next great opportunity. And as always, we highlight who’s flying high in food, drinks, shopping, service, local life and arts and culture—including high fliers in Sisters, Redmond and Sunriver. STAFF PICKS: As we’ve done in the past, we’ve also created our own Staff Picks categories, giving us a chance to highlight some of the things, events and people we've found noteworthy, funny and/or talented over the past year. Readers didn’t vote in those categories, but we still give high fives to all the people mentioned there. From the entire team at the Source Weekly, thanks to all of the people and businesses who are elevating the experience for all of Central Oregon!

HANGOVER

GRUB

D&D Grill

Daniel Robbins

BY N I C O L E V U LC A N

It’s 11 am and your teeth are sporting wooly sweaters. You’re sweating out last night’s six-plus-pack of craft brews, and your mom’s yelling into the basement to turn off the sound on your Fortnite game, or else. Sounds like it’s time for some hangover grub. Lucky for you, your mom doesn’t much care for the D&D Grill—even if it has been around long enough that it was the place she met your dad, and then your two stepdads, back in her day. Whether you’re the type who only ascends from the basement to escape your mom, or you’re simply a bar fly who can’t bother to slap two eggs in a pan, let the D&D’s sweet, sweet hangover grub menu be your manna, falling almost as fast as your mom’s flyswatter when you tell her to eff off. Maybe you start with one of the buildyour-own omelettes or the Chicken Fried Skillet—or maybe you skip right over that nasty

thing called morning and go straight for the burgers, steaks, prime rib or tots. Or the full meal deal: the D&D Original Fat Man, sporting ham, bacon, a fried egg, cheddar cheese and topped with the works. Either way, this dank bar in the heart of downtown is waaaay better than your basement—probably why it’s won the Best Hangover Grub award many years in a row.

Parrilla Grill

Who doesn’t love a good burrito? And one that’s only $6?! Get out of here—you can’t even buy a smoothie in Bend for $6! Well, at any of Parrilla’s locations you can get that burrito. A mere $6 gets you a Classic Burrito with cilantro lime rice, black or pinto beans, cheese, sour cream and salsa with your choice of protein. For $6 you could also get three tacos! And if that wasn’t enough, Parrilla still sells Pabst Blue Ribbon pounders for a buck. Owner Jeff Dearing said his least favorite thing to do is to raise prices. “We offer quality food made from scratch at an affordable price,” Dearing said. Dearing said what sets his restaurant apart from the competition is its commitment to using better quality products and better ingredients, including having all-organic proteins for customers to enjoy. Most of the menu items are around $8, with the most expensive one being the $10 Smoke This Wrap—smoked wild salmon served with cilantro lime rice, spinach, pickled red onions, chive cream cheese smear and recommended with cheese, mild salsa and herb aioli. Parrilla also has an inexpensive kids’ menu with a Bambino Bean and Cheese Burrito for $3 or the Lil’ Alfie, Fettuccini noodles with house Alfredo sauce served in a 10-inch tortilla for only 4 bones. After 18 years in the biz, Dearing said it’s still a thrill to be recognized by the community. SW

BEST BBQ

Baldy’s Barbeque

Daniel Robbins

BY K E E LY DA M A R A

Baldy’s has provided tender, mouthwatering smoked meats to the hungry people of Central Oregon since 2005—as well as voted “Best BBQ” every year since they have opened their doors. Brian and Paige Dioguardi, the husband and wife team behind Bend’s tastiest barbeque, say that their most popular dish is probably a tossup between pulled pork and baby back ribs—but Paige recommends the melt-inyour-mouth brisket. According to Baldy’s website, the namesake for the restaurant was born from Brian Dioguardi’s big, beautiful bald head (a trait that he shares with all six of his brothers). After meeting an award-winning barbecue chef in Chicago, where Dioguardi grew up, he learned the southern-soaked secrets that he would carry with him to his own venture in Bend. From their award-winning baby back ribs to tender beef brisket, the meats are slowDaniel Robbins

BEST FOOD CART

Ronin Sushi & Japanese Grill

Chris Miller

BY C H R I S M I L L E R

Food carts seem to sprout up in Bend faster than new residents. Picking the best food cart must have been a difficult task, but the readers have spoken, and they made an excellent choice. Ronin is a Japanese comfort food cart located at The Bite in Tumalo. Its menu changes depending on what fresh fish is delivered, but you can usually count on delicious poke bowls—made of tuna or salmon—sashimi, nigiri, rolls and non-sushi items including bento boxes. Having tried the tuna poke bowl, I can attest to its deliciousness. The raw fish nearly melts in your mouth. It’s so fresh, you could swear a dory fisherman just handed you the ahi himself.

Chef Scott Byers said he started Ronin three years ago because of his love of Japanese food and his desire to make it affordable. “I don’t know why sushi is so expensive,” Byers said. “It’s a $400-$500-a-night meal.” Byers said he wanted to buck the exorbitant prices and make sushi that’s better, cheaper and different. All Ronin’s fish needs to be wild caught or sustainably farmed, Byers said. Byers worked previously at other Bend sushi institutions, including 5Fusion. In addition to the food cart, he and his other chefs do private sushi bars in customers’ homes that can serve from six to 20 people.

Byers said he flies fish directly from Japan for some of the private gigs. Byers said it’s the locals who have kept him fed, and he wouldn’t be here without them. “I’m stoked that people are turned on to it,” he said of Ronin. SW

El Sancho BY K E E LY DA M A R A

Keely Damara

BEST

What do El Sancho’s shop, shack and cart all have in common? They all serve up delicious tacos, of course. The El Sancho Taco Cart launched in 2010 and quickly became a Bend favorite. Locals may remember the El Sancho Taco Shack’s first location at Pakit Liquidators, a used-materials business turned concert venue. After the business closed in 2014, the crew moved the shack to its current location at Crux Fermentation Project. El Sancho’s newest venture, a brick and mortar eastside location that opened in 2015, operates as the hub for their Mexican street food. The taco cart is still around and can be found roaming around street festivals and other local events. Jon Barvels, who co-owns El Sancho along with founder Joel Cordes, says the barbacoa and carnitas tacos are two of their most popular items. While tacos are their main game, the “Extras” menu shouldn’t be ignored. From chilaquiles and chicharones to my personal favorite, esquites (Mexican street corn) — the menu is short but oh, so sweet. Barvels says that while Bend has embraced their Pacific Northwest approach to Mexican street food, what really makes El Sancho a step above the rest is their stellar staff. “What makes us special is we try really hard to put out a good product and we take a lot of pride in it,” says Barvels. “We hold everyone to really high standard and have a good attitude about it—the staff attitude is by far the best I’ve ever seen.” That level of pride goes beyond good service and good food. All of the El Sancho locations are constructed with recycled materials and are equipped with energy-efficient rocket stoves. SW

BEST SPECIALTY COCKTAIL

Daniel Robbins

Blue Velvet BY C H R I S M I L L E R

Velvet, the double decker lounge on Wall Street, serves up plenty of good, good, good—good libations, but none better this year than the winner of the best specialty cocktail, the Blue Velvet. The Blue Velvet is made with house-infused blueberry vodka, house-made lemonade, Yerba Mate and infused Oregon blueberries. It’s served in Velvet’s traditional mason jar over ice—as refreshing as a dip in the Deschutes when it’s 100 degrees out. The combination of lemonade, blueberries and the Yerba Mate are like hitting the lemonade stand when you were a kid, only now you get the relaxation properties of vodka. For those who don’t know what Yerba Mate is, it’s a leaf from the South American rainforest holly tree, sometimes made into

tea, without about the same energy boost as coffee. Velvet also uses Yerba Mate for its Hibiscus Mate Sour, Oregonic and Mojito la Argentina. There are plenty of other options at Velvet, such as Prohibition-era intoxicants, local favorites including the kombucha knock back and standard well drinks. But if you’re new to Velvet, I suggest giving the Blue Velvet a try.

BEST BARTENDER

BY N I C O L E V U LC A N

Buck Bales is training a new guy when I belly up to the bar at D&D Grill. “You’re not going anywhere, are you?” I ask, slightly concerned that maybe the new guy is Bales’ replacement. “They won’t let me,” he says with a chuckle. Bales is something of a legend in this bar, which has earned its own legendary status in the minds of countless Benditos, given that a sign outside boasts it’s been in existence since 1945. Since that year—one in which people had many reasons to celebrate—people have flocked to “The D” for its solid bar food, its stiff drinks, its low-key divey feel—and for the past eight years, for a conversation with Bales, who happens to have a name so memorable it should have been assigned to the lead screamer in a punk band. What I like most about the guy: He didn’t campaign at all for the award of Best Bartender. In fact, he says he got distracted halfway

through filling out his own ballot and never turned it in. Punk rawk as hell. This guy gained his award the right way— by earning the respect and admiration of local barflies. After winning second place three years in a row, Bales now earns elevated status. As I munch on my chicken strips—a favorite dish around here, I ask Bales whether he’ll use his victory for good or evil. “Probably evil,” he says, “because now that I’m the best bartender in Bend I don’t have to be good anymore.”

GREEN

BUSINESS

The Gear Fix

Wyatt Gaines

BY: K . M . C O L L I N S

Meeting people halfway and making green accessible is what Josh Sims says sets his business, The Gear Fix, apart. For many outdoorsy locals, stopping in during lunch break to rummage through the climbing gear (or snow sports selection in the winter) is a weekly ritual. For tourists and others, buying used outdoor gear just wasn’t on their radar as recently as 10 years ago. Sims thinks his business model has changed that. Offering consignment equipment in virtually all genres of outdoor sports and repair in the form of cobbling, ski repair, bike repair, sewing and do-it-yourself paraphernalia, The Gear Fix supports customers in buying used or helping maintain the equipment outdoor patrons already have. “I think folks voted for us,” explains Sims, “because of what we represent, and not just because we’re keeping things out of the landfill. Since the beginning we wanted to not just make buying used and repair accessible, but

we also wanted to ‘normalize’ it. I never understood why retail companies didn’t partake in some of this model, taking back gear they sold and allowing folks to put it towards an upgrade. I figured if you could build a successful business model around doing this, that maybe it might change the mindset of other business and manufacturers when it comes to re-use and over-producing.” That change is happening through services offered at The Gear Fix, one stitch at a time.

Eastside Gardens

Wyatt Gaines

BY C H R I S M I L L E R

Driving on 27th Street south of Bear Creek Road, it’s hard to miss the giant, colorful rooster that watches over Eastside Gardens. Avid gardeners can spent a great deal of time scanning the selections at nurseries and garden centers to find the best plants, but Eastside Gardens brings it all together under one roof. They have an extensive selection of plants and their plants are healthy and at good sizes to transplant. Eastside Gardens groups plants based on the areas they are appropriate for—such as “deer resistant.” Finding plants that the deer will not gobble up instantly is a constant battle here. They have a good selection of hardy specimens that are less likely to be delicious to deer. The spot also has an excellent selection of succu-

lents that thrive in the hot summers of Central Oregon, including some hard-to-find varieties. In addition to plants, they carry soil and amendments. They carry both organic and non-organic options for fertilizer and pest deterrents. And to top it all off, their employees are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful—helping to make Eastside Gardens rise to the top in this year’s readers’ poll.

Bend Pet Express BY A N N E P I C K

Before Julie Hunter started Bend Pet Express in 1993, her dog became very ill. She worked with a vet locally and looked at what she was putting in her dog’s body versus what options were available. Her research and continued education resulted in the birth of what would go on to become the Bend Pet Express we all know and love today. “From day one, 25 years ago when I started this journey, I think the holistic approach that we take—we’re very careful with the products that we carry, with the ingredients, with where the ingredient are sourced from—that’s all a reflection of building that health from a different level into your pet. It’s always been our number one goal to serve the community in that way. Give them another option,” Hunter says. In Central Oregon, we care deeply about what we put into our own bodies, and it makes perfect sense that we would take that same priority and apply it to our pets. Bend Pet Express wins this award year after year for good reason—a focus on our community, our pets and the quality of the ingredients and products we put into their bodies. “As always, it’s actually just an honor,” Hunter says of winning Best Pet Store again this year. “We strive to give back and to serve this community. We love this community and we want to do as much as we possibly can for this community.” Hunter attributes the win and the customer service they have become known for to the employees at both the westside and eastside locations. “They carry this whole community and they are the ones that make the one-on-one relationships with the customers. Retail is frustrating at times and can be really hard, but they are so respectful of this industry.” SW

BEST FURNITURE STORE

Bend UpStyle

Wyatt Gaines

BY C H R I S M I L L E R

Bend UpStyle is elevating the experience for shoppers. New owners Randy and Jeanette Wright have transformed the store on Greenwood Avenue—once focused on consignment furniture—to an upscale joint full of new furniture, including locally made pieces and custom work. UpStyle also does window coverings—from measurement to install—and home staging to help people sell their houses. UpStyle’s team also does design work to get the most out of your living space. “We appreciate that people notice us and like us,” Randy Wright said. Walking into the bright space on Greenwood, you’re greeted by leather furniture, custom wood coffee tables and large sectional couches that beg you to take a nap or read a book. UpStyle still has its other location on Northeast Third Street, which specializes in pre-owned furniture

and new discount clearance furniture. If you have preowned furniture to trade in for store credit, the Third Street location is the first place to visit. They can look at your trade-in pieces and any credit you get can be used at both locations. SW

BY N I C O L E V U LC A N

“Every aspect of our lives is, in a sense, a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.” Frances Moore Lappé, author of “Diet for a Small Planet” Locals, how many times have you touted local beer, local culture or the fact that your parents’ parents’ parents came here on the Oregon Trail—thus vetting you as a bona fide third/fourth/20th generation local? That’s cool and all, but hopefully you’re taking the same tack with your food. Don’t let me get too bummer-town about the specter of climate change, but it’s happening, people. (Are you breathing some smoky air right now? Bam.) While buying local food has a host of health benefits, it also calls us to seek local solutions to local challenges. It helps us cut down on the trips needed to truck food from the I-5 corridor (and much farther afield) and thereby cuts down on our collective

carbon footprint. And of course, it benefits the local economy countless times over. When it comes to supporting local food, we couldn’t name just one organization, because so many are doing this great work every day. In the spirit of supporting the type of local culture that can actually have a direct impact on the lives of ourselves and future generations, we’re giving a nod to three entities in our area in this year’s Best Of Staff Picks. Central Oregon Locavore is the spot you can find locally-produced goods—and get community support in a host of ways—year-round. The farmers markets in our area, including (but not limited to) the Downtown Market, the new Eastside Market (ups for the Eastside!) and the NorthWest Crossing farmers markets are where you can buy farm-direct. Knowing your farmer is not just a meme

BEST PLACE TO

Bend Veterinary Clinic BY A N N E P I C K

In Bend, we place as high a priority on the health and wellness of our pets as we do on ourselves. It takes a lot to stand out among the pack with a large number of excellent veterinary clinics in town, yet Bend Veterinary Clinic continues its “Best of” win streak by fetching the prize for the fifth year in a row. When you talk to Practice Manager Julie Owens, it becomes easy to see why Bend Vet continues its winning streak and why this year the clinic also won Best Place to Work. “It’s amazing,” Owens says of winning again. “To have all of these vet clinics in Central Oregon and continue to win year after year — the hard work and dedication from our doctors and our team, they make our clients and patients feel like they are our number-one priority.” Currently, Bend Veterinary Clinic is in the middle of renovations to improve the practice, including an improved reception area, separate cat and dog entrances and additional exam rooms. Last year, Bend Veterinary Clinic claimed the runner-up prize for Best Place to Work (under 50 employees). This year, they take home the win. “I think that a lot of it is that we’ve created

great culture here,” Owens says. “We’re a very good team. I have an open door policy; if they are having a frustrating day, they can come to me. I think, truly, it’s the love of what they do. You get in this business for what people think, for the love of the animals.” Changes to scheduling have been a relief for employees at Bend Veterinary Clinic. The clinic is open seven days a week and employees know 30 days in advance what their schedule will be. Best of all, employees work four 10-hour days, giving them three days to rest. SW

Anjou Spa

Wyatt Gaines

BY K . M . C O L L I N S

Nestled between the lush Cascade Range and the juniper and sage of Central Oregon’s high desert, Anjou Spa is a lifestyle and wellness spa dedicated to the art of helping guests look and feel good, inside and out. Anjou’s owners consider the pursuit of well-being a lifelong goal. They want to guide guests in getting there in a holistic, results-driven and inspired way. Their memorable and botanically driven treatments include a range of facials and body massage, cupping, waxing, tinting, manicures, pedicures and custom combinations of services packaged as rituals. Most unique among their offerings are those for the males among us. “Fresh Beard” entails softening and cleaning with an organic wash, high-frequency combing, tonic treatment and special oil to prepare one’s mane to take on the high desert dry climate. Results are described as velvety, and it’s touted as being great for all lengths of beards longer than 1/2 inch.

Or, opt for the “Ale-ing Foot Remedy,” allowing you to soak your tootsies in warmed beer while you enjoy a cold microbrew. Shed rough edges with an in-house antibacterial crushed barley and hops foot scrub. Finish with a hops-infused foot and lower leg massage. Noted as extremely beneficial for any mild fungal issues, the treatment includes callus removal and nail and cuticle shaping. All offerings include aromatherapy with organic essential oils via steam from a decadent copper tureen and access to a co-ed steam and sauna facility. SW

Empire and Hwy 97 BY C H R I S M I L L E R

I’m lucky enough to avoid driving on the Bend Parkway at any time, but I’m most thankful I don’t have to be anywhere near the Empire/Parkway/Hwy 97 disaster that goes north to the light at Cooley Road during 5pm traffic. If you look at the traffic map of Bend in that area about 5pm, the line isn’t just red; it’s a pulsing, sirens-going-off-like-there’s-an-eminent-threat-of-nuclear-war warning to avoid the area at all costs. We should tip our hats to the men and women who work at Boneyard Beer’s main brewery; they’re stuck in this nightmare on a daily basis. I’ve been caught in this bottleneck before, trying to drive to Madras to visit friends. Sitting through light after light, watching longhaul truck drivers miss gears and stall out

their rigs, stranding locals and visitors in the searing heat. Out-of-state cars with the driver—head down staring at their smartphone— realizing when the light turns yellow it’s time to go, then blasting through the red light, leaving the 60 cars behind them cursing. Even in the so-called shoulder seasons, the intersections suck. It’s like an engineer with the Oregon Department of Transportation took out their job frustrations on us foolish drivers. And maybe the worst part: If there’s an accident, there’s nowhere to get off the road, get a beer and chill. Unless you want to have a Bud Light at some national chain restaurant—by a tire shop. Just don’t drink and rage drive! SW

Volcanic Theatre Pub

Daniel Robbins

BY A N N E P I C K

It seems whenever you hear anyone talking about the live music scene in Bend, the words, “best music year in Bend ever,” escapes their lips. That’s thanks in part to the hardworking people within the industry, busting their behinds to bring you rad musicians. All year long, Volcanic Theatre Pub brings in quality bands, singers, filmmakers and creatives, in an effort to enhance the cultural and musical landscape in Central Oregon. Over the last five years, owner Derek Sitter has put in countless hours to develop Volcanic’s reputation as Bend’s best indoor music venue—a new category in our Best Of readers’ poll this year. “I try very hard to be selective in what we bring to the venue,” Sitter says. “We don’t look at bookings with just sure sell-outs. We focus on quality and diversity. We love to cultivate and curate new music and diverse genres that we believe the community should be exposed to, regardless of the turnout. It may take booking a band two, three or even four times to attract great crowds. Diversity is crucial in a

BEST ART GALLERY 1st Red Chair Gallery 2nd Mockingbird Gallery

community the size of Central Oregon.” And that diversity is part of what makes Volcanic Theatre Pub so great. One night you can see a sell-out show by Larry and His Flask or catch someone you may have never heard of, before they explode into popularity and greatness. “What I love the most is the relationships we build with the community and the local, regional, national and international musicians that visit VTP weekly,” Sitter says. “Anyone and everyone who walks through our door is part of the Volcanic family. I hope we continue to develop these ties because, ultimately, there is no VTP without the community and the musicians.” SW

BAND Bony Chanterelle BY A N N E P I C K

Back in the day, Best Local Band was a category readers could vote for. Past winners included Larry and His Flask, Mosley Wotta and Corner Gospel Explosion. This year, Best Band is a staff pick category, so I’m writing a special “Pick’s Picks.” Chris Fraser on vocals and lead guitar, Devrett Gupta on bass and Jake Satathite on drums make up power trio Bony Chanterelle. I hung out with the boys at a rehearsal in May, interviewing them ahead of their album release show at Spoken Moto. Their first album, “This Can’t End Now,” always has me feeling the same sentiment as the album title. This can’t end now. It’s just sooo good. The Bony boys blend elements of surf rock, folk, blues and groovy psychedelia to create jams you can’t help but sing. “Well this youth, I ain’t wastin’,” Fraser sings in my favorite track on the album. The combined talent of these three dudes is incredible. Gupta, the youngest member of the band, is somewhat of a musical prodigy, slapping the bass as well as any other instrument you place in front of him. Fraser writes catchy lyrics, oozes creativity and challenges the idea of what a band should share on Instagram. Watching Satathite on the drum kit, you instantly notice his intense focus and skill. If you were lucky enough, you caught Satathite at a recent Crow’s Feet Commons Open Mic singing and playing guitar — a Jack of all trades when it comes to music. I recently got an exclusive preview of the direction Bony plans to head with their future material and all I can say is this: It’s so freaking good, you guys! Key Tracks: “Youth,” “Cat and Mouse” and “Hot as Hell.” SW

Jim Kinney

An exquisite waterfall. A rockin’ concert. A smiling paddler, about to try out a new SUP. And Mt. Bachelor—a little point in the galaxy, positioned under a rush of stars. If those images don’t sum up what Oregon is all about, I don’t know what does. As I’m writing this, those are the four most recent posts on the Backyard Bend Instagram feed— images that conjure up all the beauty, fun and general wonder that makes living here pretty dang wonderful. Go to the feed to check out scenes from events at Bachelor, shows hitting town or photos of some of the region’s most iconic and beautiful spots. Apparently, our readers also think Backyard Bend is doing a nice job highlighting the rad factor in Central Oregon, because they’ve voted its Instagram feed their favorite in this brand new category this year. (With so many people using the ‘gram to share their lives, it was only a matter of time before this became

a Source Best Of category….) Not only does the feed toss some shine on the many cool things Central Oregonians are doing, but they’re also regularly giving stuff away—like that SUP I mentioned before. Even better? It’s not just a compilation of their own work, but also a place where locals are invited to tag and share their own photos, to be featured on the feed later on. If you’re a photographer looking to get some recognition, using the hashtag #backyardbend can apparently get you some cred. (Shameless plug: You can also tag @sourceweekly to be featured right here in this rag.) There are plenty of ways to get stoked on the C.O., but this year, it’s Backyard Bend that’s rising above the rest in the Best Instagram category. SW

Spoken Moto BY A N N E P I C K

Technically, this one should probably have been voted on, instead of being a staff pick. But since I do most of my work as a freelancer, it’s clear to me that Spoken Moto is the hub for remote workers in Central Oregon. Whether you’re a realtor looking for a spot to meet with clients or a web developer who needs a break from your dark bedroom, Spoken Moto provides the perfect remote office in Bend. Walk into Spoken Moto on a typical weekday and you’ll see laptops for miles. Remote workers have made the motorcycle-shop-meets-coffee-house-meets-food-cart-lot their home, and for good reason. Spend the morning sipping on an espresso with delicate latte art (but seriously, get the chai, it’s amazing) as you write the next chapter of your novel. Grab lunch at one of the delicious food carts,

While coworking spaces may be all the rage these days, sometimes you just want to find somewhere quiet to work that serves killer coffee and has an unrivaled ambiance. You’ll find that at Spoken Moto, along with a bevy of other freelancers doing the same. Can you say networking? SW

SIDEWALK

STAFF PICKS

Franklin Avenue, Near The Tunnel BY DA N I E L L E M E Y E R S

Bend has a lot of good things going for it, but what about the best of the worst? The Source Weekly’s staff did a rundown on sidewalks in its 2018 Transportation Issue, which talked about the many ways to commute in Bend. It included a section called “Sidewalk Talk”—a mix of articles that described local streets that aren’t the best to navigate on foot. Below is a poem dedicated to the difficulties of walking (some of) the streets in Bend—and in particular, Franklin Avenue’s “pee tunnel” sidewalk. SW

An Ode to Shel Silverstein: Where the Sidewalk “Bends” There is a place where the sidewalk ends; it’s called Bend. It’s not just one place but a few, One foot forward, hesitant step back… Am I really supposed to step onto that? Is it safe? What’s the matter? You are past Franklin, walking along Third. (Haven’t you heard?) It isn’t safe to walk here! Google maps is feeding you lies, this isn’t a place to commute on foot, But what’s the harm, you’re already here, Your objective is quite clear: Make the trek from El Sancho to Kelly D’s. You must sing Karaoke. It’s Saturday night, and although you normally bike, the walk sounded nice, until now. What are you to do When the sidewalk literally starts to deteriorate in front of you? Welcome to Bend, The place where the sidewalk ends.

There were numerous choices to fill this bill: The Old Ray’s Food Place building, the hotel on Century Drive and Mt. Washington Drive or any additions to Oregon State University-Cascades, but the one that really seems to stick in the NIMBY craw is the Evergreen Housing Development at the intersection of SW Shevlin Hixon Drive and SW Bradbury Way. Back around Feb. 28, people took to picketing the then-proposed apartment building—it’s now in the hands of City of Bend planners— like someone proposed a factory that kills puppies and turns them into jackets. More than 100 people packed a meeting room later in the week, all up in arms about the idea that someone would build 181 apartments in our housing-anemic town. Granted, this is not exactly affordable housing we’re talking about. The developer has come on record saying the apartments will be around the highest end rents in the city—studios starting at $1,200 a month—but maybe that would allow people who can afford this rent to move from their current locales and lower rents there? Fingers crossed... Then another developer got into the NIMBY spirit, even going so far as to hire an attorney to try to force a public hearing on the building. Nothing like a little developer competition to tank our YIMBY hopes of abundant housing in the city. All this is under the guise that parking and traffic will become a nightmare if the building is allowed. It would be curious to know if any of the picketers, developers or other concerned citizens have driven on Empire Boulevard lately? It seems like every other week an apartment building appears as if dropped from the sky. Where’s the public outcry here, NIMBY? SW

STAFF PICKS

In Bend, it’s typical to hear someone mutter, “Doesn’t anyone work in this town?” Well, friend, why live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth if you’re going to sit in an office all day? Many Bendites have found ways to make a living without working a traditional 9 to 5 desk job. Many of us have taken to the remote working lifestyle, which allows us to catch a tourist-free ride at Phil’s during the middle of the day, go to yoga, float the river while responding to emails and enjoy the bliss that is Bend. What’s the best job to have if you don’t want to work regular hours or really that much at all? Freelancing. Over the last several years, co-working spaces have popped up throughout town, in-

BEST SILVER LINING

BY A N N E P I C K

If you’ve been keeping up with the ongoing, dramatic saga surrounding noise and concerts in the City of Bend, then you know that earlier this year the City Council voted to limit the number of Temporary Change of Occupancy permits. What does this mean to the live music community? The Century Center, one of the primary outdoor music venues in Bend, got hit the hardest, because the decision limits the number of TCOs a building can obtain a year to three. For live music lovers throughout Central Oregon, this decision came as a major bummer. Fortunately, a new venue has risen from the metaphorical ashes of the Century Center. This summer, odds are you’ve already caught

a rad outdoor concert at Oregon Spirit Distillers, located on First Street in Midtown. Bend Radio Group opted to move all of its concerts to the outdoor space, which has already included sold-out performances by Whiskey Myers, High Valley, Shakey Graves and more. The space comes as a welcome silver lining to the bummer City Council decision. This outdoor space will see even more shows as summer charges on, including performances from incredible nationally touring acts such as Cold War Kids, the Dirty Heads and a variety of country music artists. If nothing else, this silver living proves you can’t stop live music in Bend — thank the universe! SW

A New Warming Shelter For People In Need BY N I C O L E V U LC A N

It was already past the worst of winter when I set foot inside the Sagewood Sanctuary on Greenwood Avenue, near Bend’s downtown. The year 2018 won’t go down as one of the worst winters, but for someone who lives without permanent—and properly insulated—shelter, temps that dip below freezing pose a host of challenges and dangers. Any winter is a bad one for those who don’t have a home. Advocates for the homeless population in Central Oregon continue to work on obtaining land they can use to build a permanent encampment for houseless folks in our area—but in the meantime, Sally Pfeifer and her crew at Pfeifer & Associates weren’t going to stand still waiting for someone else to open

a temporary warming shelter. I’d heard from other community leaders about the need for such a facility—and hopefully, that will be a project that city or county leaders take seriously in the future. Currently, the Source staff nod for Best Community Problem Solving goes to Pfeifer. In February, seeing the need to act right away, Pfeier and her team opened a critically needed warming shelter in her own private building, which by day plays home to those seeking support during drug and alcohol treatment. The Sagewood Sanctuary is permitted to hold up to 20 people overnight when temps go below freezing. It’s far from a permanent solution to homelessness, but it’s a move in the right direction. SW

Sixty years deep in the Bend winter sports scene, Skjersaa’s offers it all. Their passion and dedication to snowboarding and skiing started with Olaf Skjersaa back in the day and is reflected in the present staff through product knowledge and customer service. Packed all your kiddie stuff but forgot your own gloves? Need a beer after hot laps on the backside? P-tex necessary after some early season tree runs? Conveniently located on the way to Mount Bachelor on Century Drive, powder hounds can stop in for last-minute supplies on the way up the hill or after a big day out. With a full-service shop, repairs and wax jobs are no problem. Plus, with an in-house ski shop pub, you’ll be begging the techs to take their time as you try all the tap handles at the bar. Enjoy a fireside chat about the day’s epic pow with other

knuckle draggers and scope out the latest and greatest from top brands. In an outdoor city where snowboarding and skiing can sometimes be divided shopto-shop, Skjersaa’s doesn’t discriminate. Backcountry, downhill, splitboarding and more, they can outfit winter goers for any adventure. The staff gets to know a visitor’s snowboard or ski level and goals when outfitting boots, bindings and planks. Skjersaa’s prides themselves on welcoming any and all snow enthusiasts and hopes to keep ushering the charge for 60 more years to come. SW

SECRET

Floating the Deschutes BY K E E LY DA M A R A

Floating the Deschutes River is a pastime near and dear to Bendites’ hearts. (That part about the Best Kept Secret? That was a joke, peeps. If you’re a local, no need to read any further.) On any given weekend, you can find happy faces floating through town on tubes and, in some cases, questionable floatation devices (a legit tube is recommended to float the Deschutes, even if they aren’t as fun as a pink flamingo). If you’re unsure of what type of tube you should be purchasing or renting, Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe rents some heavy duty tubes with mesh on the bottom at the Park & Float throughout the summer. Don’t feel like coordinating vehicles for pick-up and drop-off? For $3, floaters can take the Ride the River Cascades East Transit shuttle route from Drake Park to Riverbend Park. Just throw your tube in the back and enjoy unlimited trips for the day. Be sure to wear sunscreen and hydrate—and don’t be a jerk. Drinking alcohol while floating on public waters is illegal. Whatever you bring on the river, make sure it leaves the river with you. That includes sunglasses, shoes and keys—secure your things! Otherwise, you may be up shi*$ creek without a paddle. There’s usually a snorkeler or two in the Whitewater Park diving for lost objects. If you’re nice, they may help you out. SW

BEST WAY TO WIN THE WAR ON CARS

BY DA N I E L L E M E Y E R S

STAFF PICKS

Electric bikes

Ooo, girl! Shock me like an electric bicycle. Bend locals are revolutionizing the road scene and cutting down on traffic and parking problems with electric bikes. Sometimes referred to as e-bikes, these machines are for everyone from novice riders who need an extra push, to dedicated riders who want to go far and wide. E-bikes follow the same rules as road bicycles but have a max speed of about 28 miles per hour. They make it easier to travel with anything. Name a type of riding and there’s an e-bike for that. They’re available as cargo bikes, commuters, fat tires, recreational, full suspension and even mountain bikes—though you’ll have to watch where you ride ‘em for that last one, as some trails don’t allow e-bikes. Not everyone can pull off the e-bike look, but those who do somehow make a Nut Case helmet and clear goggles look like a sexy Evil Knievel (minus the USA jumpsuit and ramp to ramp stunts.) These machines promote health for the rider and the environment! E-bikes are the future of transportation. There are already many bike manufactures supplying e-bikes, but did you know that recreational vehicle and car manufacturers are also making them? In Bend, e-bikes are becoming a lifestyle choice that’s helping win the war on cars— a fight that may soon be won, one e-bike at a time. Runner up: Two road bikes, one bike lane Who doesn’t love a classic road bike?! They win the war on cars by traveling in pairs, side-by-side in one bike lane. It’s annoying (to say the least) to the cars behind—but hey, sometimes a conversation is needed on the way to the nearest bar. SW

Bend might get a lot of play when it comes to talking about eats and drinks in Central Oregon—but look out, Beer Town, USA, because Redmond is coming after you with a charm all its own. From brew pubs serving up tasty suds to restaurants with loads of curb appeal, Redmond is far from a one-horse town, or one only boasting chain dives and fast food. Example: Diego’s Spirited Kitchen, which takes home the award for Best Dinner in Redmond yet again. Love yourself a margarita after a long, hot day? Let the “No Rules ‘Rita” be like your Calgon, washing the woes of work away. While the restaurant’s name might infer that this is a spot for all things Mexican, you don’t have to limit yourself to just one country’s cuisine at Diego’s. The spot touts itself as a place for international cuisine, including Italian, Creole and American dishes. Pop some Maine lobster cakes in your mouth while you sip that ‘Rita, and then move onto a fusion dish such as the Carnitas Raviolis or the Creole Barbecue Shrimp. And of course, nachos, fajitas, burritos and salads are also on offer. Redmond. is definitely on the rise—and Diego’s Spirited Kitchen is helping it get there. SW

Round about 10 years ago, I started hearing whispers in the Willamette Valley about the little town of Sisters. It’s charming, they said. It has this Old West feel, they chattered. It even has its own cool brew pub, they raved. While it’s safe to say Sisters boasts a lot of spots that make it the charming, Old-West-y, cool place that it is, there’s no doubt that the addition of Three Creeks Brewing Co. has made it only that much cooler. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, Three Creeks has earned its place as a mainstay of Sisters. If you haven’t visited, do like the tourists do and show up to grab a 6-shooter sampler—otherwise known as a beer flight. Move up to a pint, and then take home a growler of the brewery’s flagship brews, including the Hoodoo Voodoo IPA, the Crowdpleaser IPA or the Knotty Blonde. Right now, you can also sip on one of the brewery’s 10th Anniversary Series, showcasing some of the brewery’s throwbacks from days of yore—or maybe the Barrel Aged Desperado Series is more your style. And like all pubs in Oregon, Three Creeks offers a host of pub fare, too, including burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads and soups. With an inviting location on the east side of Sisters, it’s no wonder that Three Creeks rises to the top of our Best Of list yet again. SW

When we began discussing Marcello’s Cucina Italiana to cover it for this issue, a co-worker remarked that his aunt and uncle had eaten there three times in the past week. Case in point, if I’ve ever seen one. People love Marcello’s and come back time and again. Marcello’s is a family spot where the tables tend to be close together—yet another case in point that this is a popular Sunriver restaurant. Just like dinner with your Italian relatives, prepare to get cozy here. Start your dinner with homemade bread, and then take your pick among a host of Italian favorites. Yes, go ahead and get your picatta, marsala, lasagna or risotto on—or choose one of the delightful pasta dishes. Spaghetti, capellini, linguini, ravioli, penne… check, check, check, check, check. Oh, you like wine with your dinner? There’s also an extensive wine list at a host of price points. And the ambiance? It’s exactly what you might be picturing in a family Italian restaurant: cozy fireplaces and brick interior finishings, with the addition of lots of local art. With a happy hour seven nights a week and other specials in the lounge, you can have a casual dinner, or an intimate one. Take your pick, and buon appetito! SW

In A Landscape Classical piano with a view By Chris Miller Lori Overgaard

Concert goers sit atop a rock near Fort Rock State Natural Area as Hunter Noack plays classical music on his grand piano.

entral Oregon is known for its rugged landscapes and the beauty that comes with them. Over the summer and into the fall, the “In A Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild” concert series combines the picturesque landscape with the intensity and beauty of classical music. The outdoor concerts showcase Oregon’s industry, history and culture by bringing a 9-foot Steinway grand piano to the middle of forests, fields, calderas and historical sites for classical music concerts. There are three shows playing around Central Oregon late this summer at great venues, including Smith Rock State Park, Sunriver and Fort Rock State Natural Area—formerly known as Fort Rock State Park. Hunter Noack, an internationally acclaimed concert pianist, tickles the ivory for the 70-minute shows. “I started In A Landscape to bring together the two things that I love the most: playing classical music and being outdoors,” Noack said in a promotional video. In addition to being a one-of-a-kind concert experience, listeners aren’t bound by seating arrangements. Each ticket holder is given wireless headphones to explore the landscape to take in the ocular and auditory pleasure. On Sept. 5, the series heads to Smith Rock, where concert goers can experience Noack’s playing, and the epic sunsets that light up the Crooked River and the famous crags of Smith Rock’s climbing walls. The next night, the concert moves to Sunriver Resort, where people can listen at the Meadows Golf Course, which has views of Mt. Bachelor. Then the concert moves southeast on Sept. 8 to Fort Rock State Natural Area, which has Fort Rock

Cave, a site of one of the earliest evidence of human habitation in Oregon, and the towering, near-circle of jagged rock walls that erupt out of the flat desert like a fort. The series got its start in 2016, when Noack presented nine concerts in unusual outdoor locations within 75 miles of Portland. In April 2017, Noack played in Coachella Valley, Calif., as part of the inaugural season of Desert X, an art biennial of outdoor art installations. In September, he toured Oregon and Southern Washington. The shows range in price from $25 for a regular ticket to $50 for a donation ticket, which helps bring the experience to other classical music lovers. There are also a limited number of free tickets for those who can’t afford the regular price. Concert goers should be mindful of the temperature changes at night in Central Oregon and dress accordingly. Also, bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on, and plenty of food and drinks. And, for the concerts in the State Parks, remember the $5 day fee for parking. SW

Laird Hamilton

From super athlete to superfood By Chris Miller

all him Creamer Guy. His real name is Laird Hamilton. He’s a big-wave surfer—maybe the best, ever. He’s also an inventor, SUP godfather (remember the Blame Laird campaign?), fitness guru, waterman… and now, he’s working on creating the second coming of Newman’s Own. On July 16, Hamilton came to Sisters to christen the opening of the first of what could be many Laird Superfood production facilities. Hamilton and his business partner Paul Hodge— both directors at GolfBoard—spoke to a crowd about their vision for their company’s future: Laird Superfood on every store aisle. Hodge said the company currently has about 50 to 60 employees in the Sisters facility, which produces superfood coffee creamers, coconut water hydration enhancers and other products, but he envisions having as many as 500 employees within three years— most of them locals. “Hiring as many as you can locally, that’s the ultimate goal, and reflective of the business,” Hamilton said. “And creating opportunities for people to be able to be here and not have to be already independently successful,

ARTWATCH Northwest Stone Carving Symposium One of the great things about living in such a beautiful area: it attracts people to it and allows us to be exposed to and interact with artists of varied talents from all over the world. This week, The Northwest Stone Sculptors Association is convening at Suttle Lake, sharing techniques and knowledge. At the end of the week, there will be a public exhibition. The large-scale work will be display by 30 plus artists, from advanced masters to beginners. This is a great way to see new work from artists from around the world, learn a little more about the art of stone carving and also see art in a natural environment. SW Northwest Stone Sculptors Outdoor Sculpture Show Sat., Aug 19, 11am-4pm Suttle Lake Camp 29551 Suttle Lake Rd., Sisters

or retired.” Hodge said about 75 percent of the current workforce was hired locally, with others from out of area because of the specialty skill sets needed to work in a specialty manufacturing process. Hamilton, who splits time living in Kauai and California, said one reason they located the production facility in Sisters was the tough business environment in his home states. “Trying to cut businesses in California and Hawaii, those are probably the two worst states in the world to try to build a business,” he said. Another big reason was because of the culture and values of the people Hamilton met when he came to Sisters to vet prospective employees. “There are people that have the same value system and the same interests (that I have), and so the culture Paul’s building into this business is something that when I come here and meet the people and talk to the people that are working here, I’m like: absolutely, they make complete sense,” Hamilton said. “Sometimes you have this brand

and you have this employee and there’s a disconnect between the two,” Hamilton continued. “There’s people that work, but these employees are reflective of the brand, and that’s unusual, very unusual in a way. People are attracted to the lifestyle, people are attracted to the products. If you don’t have something that people like, that’s good for them, then really, what are we doing?” Hamilton said the idea for a performance food came from growing up in a diverse cultural environment, where the exotic foods he ate led him to looking at food differently. “I started looking at food like fuel,” Hamilton said. “That food’s fuel and not always consuming out of taste, but more consumption out of energy. But, everybody enjoys things that taste good, so can we marry those two? Can we make it taste good? And

that’s where it comes from, it comes from the desire that food is energy and then how can we share that? How can we share that with as many other people as possible?” Hamilton says he’s still out chasing giants, because surfing wasn’t something he did to become a household name. “I’m still in pursuit of riding giant surf and ultimately pursuing things that I haven’t gotten to do, so there’s still plenty of those,” Hamilton said. “So I need to continue to be authentic, for my own mind, for my own well being. So surfing’s not something that I did just to become something, it’s who I am. I have a relationship with the ocean and so my relationship with the ocean I have to cultivate and surfing and foiling and all these things that I do are just pieces of that relationship.” SW

 INSTA-WATCH Awesome local art, found on Instagram Ryan Choate @ryan_choate When I view Ryan Choate’s work, I often think, “This guy really gets trees.” What I mean by that, is it takes someone with an intimate understanding of something to be able to showcase its beauty beyond a singular medium. Choate’s clear connection to the natural world is often showcased with contrasted black and white photography, giving it a deeply mysterious and powerful presence. In Choate’s mixed media work this same connection is there, but Choate also brings in elements of pop culture to his work. It almost feels like a cross between graffiti and cave-drawings—bringing in symbols, color and line.

What I like best is when he brings this graffiti-like style and frantic brush strokes to his mixed media pieces while also incorporating elements of the natural world. While we see a lot of artists in Central Oregon working in landscape (I mean, how can you not, look around) it’s always refreshing to see the landscape with a new and unique hand capturing.

Four ideas to avoid getting hangry over the lunch hour

Boxwood Kitchen Opens Brick and Mortar

Beet Poke, $7.95

Coconut Chia Seed Pudding, $8

A great lunch for a busy day. Pick it up on your way to work in the grab and go case at the Humble Beet. Golden beets act like the Beyond Meat of poke. It tastes so much like the original Hawaiian dish it’s hard to tell this dish is vegan. The sesame oil, salty tamari, zesty ginger and fiery jalapeños mask the earthiness of the beets. Even the lines in the golden beets mimic the fat lines in salmon. This organic, non-GMO poke is spicy and the onions provide a wonderful crunch. If you’re famished, eat it over rice. And guess what? Unlike fish poke, you can leave it in the office refrigerator without offending anyone’s olfactories. Humble Beet

When you aren’t super hungry but want to eat something, order the coconut chia seed pudding at Jackson’s Corner. It’s healthful and hits the spot for breakfast or lunch. The lightly sweet pudding is made with chia seeds soaked overnight so they’re soft. The texture is like tapioca but with a slight crunch. This dish gets a lot of depth from the toppings. The bites with dates are super sweet and the ones with strawberries or blueberries are slightly sweet and tart. Additional crunch comes from the toasted coconut flakes. You may think you’re eating an indulgent treat but this one is good for you. Chia seeds are rich in antioxidants and an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, iron and calcium.

Where do you go when you’re starving but you don’t want to end up in a food coma? Visit the ultra-hip Fix & Repeat and order the rice bowl, a macro bowl layered with brown rice, black beans, diced sweet potato, spicy chiles, walnut pesto, fresh chopped kale, basil, avocado, cashew cream and sprinkled with pepitas and sesame seeds. That hits all your macronutrients: fat, protein and carbs. If this dish sounds too healthful to be delicious, I’m telling you, the combination of spicy, creamy and tangy is oh, so satisfying. Bring your furry friend when you visit and both of you can have lunch on the patio. Indulge Fido with a pup smoothie made with kale, peanut butter, coconut oil, banana and apple. Fix & Repeat

When you’re craving comfort food with a global influence, visit Bend-o Bento, in a strip mall off of Wilson Avenue, owned by Yukiko McLaughlin and recommended to me by Leela Morimoto, who eats here when she’s feeling homesick for Japan. I told McLaughlin, “I want what Leela usually orders.” What I refer to now as “the Leela,” is chicken katsu, rice, macaroni salad and bean thread noodle with a side of curry.. This was the creamiest mac salad I’ve ever tasted, coming from Japanese kewpie mayonnaise, made with more egg yolks and no whites. The curry tasted surprisingly Indian to me. The bean thread noodle was a salty, cold glass noodle with crispy vegetables and not very memorable as the other stuff. Also note: the owners visit Japan every year around this time; try them after early September. Bend-o Bento

Public humiliation, ‘50s housewives and countless riddles By Jared Rasic

Here we are, living though another sweltering hot week while we wait for the sweet release of air conditioning to take us away on its centrally cooled wings. With MoviePass changing its service from unlimited movies to only three movies a month, it’s financially understandable to be a little discriminating when it comes to theatrical flicks, but we can still be downright experimental when it comes to streaming and podcasts. Let’s take a look at some of the stuff making me happy right now.

In Pod We Trust:

Bingeworthy:

The fact that most podcasts don’t have much in the way of interactivity has always baffled me. There’s always a sense of the hosts hoping you’re familiar with what they’re talking about, but there hasn’t been much along the lines of podcasts you can play along at home with. “Hey Riddle Riddle” hopes its audience members are just as confused as they are while attempting to solve riddles, puzzles and other random brain teasers. With three comedians hosting, the podcast is less about solving the mysteries and more dedicated to laughing at how woefully terrible they are at finding the answers. By now, “Mortified” has become a podcast/stage show institution, giving hundreds of brave souls an outlet to share their childhood and teenage writing with a group of non-judgmental strangers. It’s one of the most transcendent podcasts of all time, allowing the readers to exact some sense of closure from their childhoods while the audience gets to feel better about their own pre-teen foibles. For those as in love with the new film “Eighth Grade” as I am, the new episode of “Mortified” has writer/director Bo Burnham and star Elsie Fisher sharing stories of how they survived their own respective eighth grades. There’s so much empathy and compassion in their stories it’s hard not to feel a deeper connection to our own collective childhoods.

In a just world, all of you would be going to see Spike Lee’s newest bit of incendiary filmmaking, “BlacKkKlansman,” but in case it’s too smoky and hot outside for you, there are a few interesting things floating around the myriad of streaming services. On Netflix, Demetri Martin has “The Overthinker,” a new stand-up special that once again sees him combining art and comedy to make something surprisingly weird and touching. His very specific brand of comedy is still somewhat novel even as he flirts dangerously with self-parody. Amazon Prime has the goods for those of us with a “Gilmore Girls”-shaped hole in our hearts. “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” comes from Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of “Gilmore Girls” and “Bunheads” and gives us a beautiful dramedy following a 1950s housewife getting into standup comedy. It’s delightful. SW

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: Yes, there are

comic book movies galore, but once again Marvel manages to make the genre feel fresh and full of life. With charismatic performances from Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, the superhero shenanigans feel effortless and obscenely entertaining. In Marvel we trust. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE INCREDIBLES 2: The long-delayed sequel to the animated classic is filled with gorgeous visuals and action sequences which tend to hide the filmmaker’s obvious objectivist leanings. Audiences not trying to find philosophy in their cartoons will be delighted by the groundbreaking “Incredibles 2.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

BLACKKKLANSMAN: Spike Lee takes on

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM:

the KKK and other overt forms of white supremacy in his newest provocation, being hailed as his finest film in two decades. Lee has always been an expert at creating conversations, and “Blackkklansman” appears to take on the idea of a post-racial society by showing us our ugly history. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN: Let the nostalgia flow

like a rip-off of X-Men mixed with a dystopian YA thriller, “The Darkest Minds” hasn’t done anything to distinguish itself from the pack. Hopefully under the direction of the wonderfully talented Jennifer Yuh Nelson (“Kung-Fu Panda 2 & 3”) the film will be much brighter than the dismal trailers advertise. Old Mill Stadium 16, Redmond Cinema

The weirdest film in the franchise by far, “Fallen Kingdom” takes the established “Jurassic Park” framework and adds some of the schlockiest ideas since the last “Sharknado” movie. Enjoy the hilarious stupidity. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN: The whole gang is back to their old shenanigans of singing, dancing and reminiscing about the good old days of Abba. This time we delve back into the past and see how all our favorite relationships started…I’m guessing with music. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE MEG: Since the time of prehistoric cave

paintings, motion pictures have been building toward this moment. Jason Statham, Rainn Wilson and Cliff Curtis vs. a Megalodon attacking a secret underwater base. We can only hope Statham has a moment to kick and/or punch the creature, but some things are too good to be true. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

ny. I’m sure you know this. His documentaries are so hysterically and transparently biased that they would make Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl blush. But I’m sure D’Souza’s pro-Trump swill is balanced, since Trump just pardoned him for illegal campaign contributions. That makes perfect sense. See full commentary on p 33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT: Somehow these movies stay incredibly consistent and entertaining even as this newest entry in the franchise escalates the series to dizzying new heights. At 147 minutes, the film is almost exhausting as it boasts some of the most impressive action sequences ever put to film. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

Joaquin Phoenix as cartoonist John Callahan, an alcoholic quadriplegic who discovers a new lease on life. Somehow, the film manages to be much less depressing than it sounds. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House

EIGHTH GRADE: Bo Burnham has long been one of the most painfully incisive comedians in America. With “Eighth Grade,” he brings a fresh eye to an awkward coming-of-age story. Burnham’s brilliant mind gives this film an urgency and heart-rending honesty that’s missing from most films of this ever-expanding genre. See full review on p 33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

He’s skinny and faceless and lives in a mansion in the forest… I guess that’s all the backstory you really need. Hopefully this one is scarier than its tepid trailers promise.

THE FIRST PURGE: The fourth film in the

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION: From the creative team behind

“Samurai Jack” and “Dexter’s Lab” comes another goofy and fun animated adventure featuring all of the classic Universal Monsters. There are plenty of fart jokes for the kiddos, while the adults can enjoy the heartwarming look at inclusion and empathy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

TRUE JUSTICE: Feel like watching

pre-Putin Steven Seagal rapidly descend into unintelligible madness? Good choice. This horrifically terrible TV series is comprised of a dozen 90-minute movies… each one more terrible than the last. Poor direction, terrible acting and Seagal deep in the throes of self-parody makes “True Justice” one of the most unintentionally hilarious TV shows of all time. Streaming on Netflix

“Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot”

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

Big Screen Creepypasta

The skinny on Slender Man By Jared Rasic

by Dana Starbard

That looks like a terrifying library. So many real books.

aking a movie about Slender Man in 2018 is akin to making a biopic about the creators of the Macarena. The time has passed. Don’t get me wrong—filmmakers can still get a ton of mileage from one of the first internet urban legends, but some of the true stories that emerged from the legend are so much creepier than anything a team of screenwriters can come up with. Creepypastas are horror-based legends that have been scattered about the internet, with multiple users adding to the story while creating Photoshopped images to enhance the scariness factor. It’s basically digital folklore. Slender Man might not have been the first Creepypasta, but after his creation on an internet forum in 2009, his legend the first to spread like wildfire. Slender Man is always tall and thin, wearing a black suit and with a noticeably absent face. He mostly abducts children with the long, fibrous

tentacles growing from his back. Just being in his presence can make people violently insane. For years the line between fiction and reality blurred as people from all across the world started sharing carefully constructed Slender Man sightings. The legend built up to a horrifying conclusion when two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin stabbed their 12-year-old classmate 19 times, in the hopes that by sacrificing a friend they would be allowed to enter Slender Man’s mansion in the woods, where they could serve him for all of eternity. The victim lived, while the mastermind of the stabbing was sentenced to 40 years in a mental hospital. That story is scarier than anything in the “Slender Man” movie. The film could have been a genuine psychological thriller along the lines of “Heavenly Creatures” or “Monster,” but instead feels like a pastiche of better horror flicks like “The Ring” and “Unfriended.” It’s not entirely fair to judge “Slender

Man” based on what it isn’t, but something so fundamentally un-frightening, based on a story with so much potential, inspires the comparisons. There’s some solid cinematography and atmosphere, but the script is so threadbare that the film almost feels improvised. The characters act stupid when they’re not yelling at each other for no reason, and the third act kinda peters out until the credits roll. As far as horror movies go, there’s been better and there’s been worse, but the lack of scares are unforgivable. SW

Good fishing, paddling or just relaxing at Newberry Monument By Chris Miller

aulina Lake and East Lake, sometimes called Twin Lakes, sometimes called the other Crater lakes, are both excellent for fishing, paddling sports or just relaxing in your cabin or with your toes in the clear water. Both lakes are part of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, about 40 miles southeast of Bend. I’ve fished both lakes numerous times in the past, and the fishing— especially in the summer when the trout tend to go deep— can be challenging. But, if you pay special attention to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife fish stocking schedules, you should have a good chance of hooking some planted rainbow trout. I took my 7-year-old son in my drift boat out to Paulina Lake on a hot Sunday to try to trick a few of the planted fish. Even though the bite wasn’t on, I did manage to hook three nice rainbows with a yellow and black Panther Martin that Aidan was able to land with ease. We let them all go—now mandatory so they can “grow huge,” according to my fishing buddy. As we ate our PBJ sandwiches, listening to the waves lap against the side of the aluminum boat, we got to watch bald eagles and osprey dive for fish—they’re definitely the better fishermen. The 1,500-acre Paulina Lake is the larger of the two lakes. Its deepest point is about 250 feet and its average depth is 163 feet. Note: if you’re

fishing the lake, bring a long anchor line, or plan on anchoring right by the bank/ The lake gets deep fast. Both lakes formed after about 500,000 years of volcanic activity collapsed the crater. Neither lake receives any water from an inlet stream, keeping their pools full from snowmelt, rain, groundwater and springs. East Lake is not only smaller, it’s shallower as well. The lake is about a mile in diameter and averages about 67 feet deep. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife stocks the lakes several times a year with rainbow trout. Kokanee and brown trout also swim in the depths of Paulina. Atlantic salmon and chub are also found in East Lake. Fun fact: The two largest brown trout ever caught in Oregon both came from Paulina. The current record is 28 pounds, 5 ounces, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The largest brown from East Lake isn’t far behind at 22.5 pounds.

You can rent rowboats, canoes or powerboats to fish out of from Paulina Lake Lodge, or you can bring you own. Just make sure the motor’s tuned up or you could be rowing the length of the lake into the wind, like I did. East Lake Resort has 16 cabins for rent. All but four have full baths and kitchens, and the others have kitchenettes and half baths. Tents and RV spots are also for rent, as well as boat rentals for fishing or just relaxing and enjoying the lake. There’s the Blue Duck Grill that’s open from 7am to 7pm daily and has a fairly wide menu. Paulina Lake Lodge has 13 cabins for rent that sleep anywhere from 3 to 10 guests. The restaurant and bar is open May through September Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 7pm, and Sunday, 11am to 5pm. It’s also open in the winter on a reservation-only schedule where guests can take a snowmobile shuttle for $25 per person. For families not into fishing, you can take an easy hike up to Paulina Creek Falls. The 80-foot double falls are off Paulina Lake Road and are accessed by the Paulina Falls Trail.

Flagline Trail consists of three sections in the upper ramparts of Bend’s mountain bike trail system, exploring the Alpine environment of the High Desert. Ripping downhill sections through old growth forest, quaint meadows and creek crossings give Flagline a uniquely Alpine feel. Upper and Lower Flagline, and the Flagline Tie trail, are used to skirt around the closed Middle section until its late summer opening. Besides the melting out of winter snows on all Central Oregon trails, no other section opening is met with as much intense anticipation among the dedicated mountain bike syndicate than Middle Flagline. SW FIND IT: Ride Upper Flagline from Todd Lake via FS 370, by using the Flagline Access, or by connecting with the Metolius-Windigo trail from the north. Middle Flagline connects via Upper, Met-Win or from Dutchman Flat. During closure of Middle, or for a less technical ride, take the Dutchman/ Swampy trail to the Flagline Tie connector that climbs the gap between Tumalo Mountain and Vista Butte. RESPECT IT: Middle Flagline is closed to all user groups until Aug. 15 each year for elk calving protection (and presumably the protection of humans from being attacked/trampled by protective females averaging 700 pounds). The mommas and calves need recoup time. Riders or hikers—with or without dogs—may disturb and distress them during this important time. Be a steward. Ride elsewhere until Aug. 15.

Monarch butterflies make really good neighbors By Jim Anderson

f you’re tuned in, you know our western monarch butterfly—the only butterfly in North America that migrates to keep from freezing its butt off—is in a heap of trouble. The species just doesn’t have the necessary food to make it from egg to adult, then to slurp nectar to make the long voyage to California. But that’s only part of the story. In order for the species to survive, they have to have the food to make the journey back north and breed. The wintering individual won’t get back there; it’ll be about the 5th generation of that individual’s family that finally gets back to the milkweed and nectaring flowers of the north. One very special person knows that story very well: Amanda Egertson, the Deschutes Land Trust stewardship director, who manages and protects the DLT’s lands, doing everything possible to make sure it’s used for its best conservation qualities. When the current monarch conservation work got started, one of the first agencies to start spreading the word in 2014 was Southern Oregon Monarch Advocates, a grassroots group collaborating on a whirlwind of exciting community projects, such as: Educational and hands-on milkweed and monarch workshops with Tom Landis Creation and maintenance of many community monarch waystations, the largest of which is currently being constructed at the Coyote Trails School of Nature in Medford. Native milkweed seed propagation, packaging and distribution (although not yet on a large scale) Proactive community collaboration and outreach (such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bear Creek Watershed, local nature centers, churches and other community partners)

Jay Mather & Amanda Egertson

Lucy & adult Monarchs.

Responsible controlled monarch rearing for release and/or tagging. Egertson, along with her two children, Lucy and Eli, attended one of the workshops put on by Ron Landis of SOMA. After learning all there was to know about monarch conservation, she went at it head-heels. She put in seeds and planted milkweed plants in the DLT’s Camp Polk and Whychus Canyon preserves, as well as her own backyard. She’s also been getting into rearing monarchs with her kids, tagging the adults with markers supplied by David James, a professor at Washington State University. James established a marking system by which a nickel-sized colored tag with ID data is placed on the lower side of the migrating butterfly’s hind wing. He established a monarch rearing facility at Walla Walla Prison which, with the aid of inmates, has helped James track thousands

of butterflies, and—with the aid of a team of citizen scientists from all over the Northwest—locate their wintering grounds in California. Egertson got very serious about wanting to have adult monarchs for her, her children and the Land Trust to release, so she contacted Chris Jensen at the Bend Seed Extractory, working with him and other staff to collect monarch eggs that had just been laid by a female visiting their monarch way station. Egertson eventually ended up with 15 eggs, placing them on her milkweed to hatch and grow. In the wild, only about 2 to 5 percent of monarch eggs make it to adults due to parasites, predation and disease, but because Egertson was such an energetic and watchful monarch-raiser—often setting her alarm to go off at various times during the night to make sure her “babies” were safe—all 15 made it to adults.

Soon, the monarch caterpillars were, literally, eating themselves out of house and home. It became obvious her plants weren’t going to last long enough for the monarch larva to finish developing. That problem was solved when she noticed a neighbor with a backyard devoted to milkweed as a monarch way station. The neighbor not only happily agreed to help, but they all became fast friends. One of the most moving elements of Egertson’s work with monarchs took place when she visited one of her colleagues, a dear friend and longtime Land Trust volunteer, USFS researcher Paul Edgerton, who was suffering from a cancer that recently took his life. She took an adult, tagged female monarch with her to show Edgerton and release at his home. After Edgerton laid back to rest, she and Paul’s wife, Sue, took the butterfly, named “Mariposa” (the nickname they had been calling Amanda for over a decade) out into the yard and released it. Instead of immediately flying off on its journey south, as most monarchs do upon release, that butterfly flew up into a pine tree in the yard and perched for over an hour. This provided the entire family the opportunity to see this very special insect, and for Paul’s wife to say, in the announcement of his going out among the stars: “A wonderful, gentle, loving soul soared gently to heaven today on the wings of a monarch butterfly; he is hiking the hills of heaven, fishing the lakes, loving his parents, sister, niece and his beloved dogs. We miss him and love him very much and are privileged to have helped him peacefully on his way, with so much love.....he ferried across the river with a full crew sending him off with all our love and admiration.” SW

An ADU May Be More Feasible Than You Thought

n article in the most recent issue of Realtor Magazine on additional dwelling units mentioned a Portland company called Dweller making ADUs available to homeowners. ADUs come up frequently as a way to increase housing affordability and availability and, in recognition of this, cities are relaxing standards for them. In a nutshell, Dweller provides homeowners with a 450-square-foot ADU for about $125,000. Providing that zoning allows for the ADU, the space requirements are 42x25 feet for placement of the unit. They’re modular units built off-site, transported to the property and installed with a giant crane that can go over roofs to place it on a foundation pad in the backyard. What’s nice is that it’s typically much less expensive than traditional construction and includes permits, utility connections and landscaping. The homeowner has the option of purchasing the unit outright or to exercise a lease option agreement with the company. Under the lease option scenario, the company rents out the property to a tenant and pays the homeowner 30 percent of the income as a land lease payment. After 25 years, the homeowner owns the unit outright. Homeowners also have the

option of buying out at a date before the 25 years, based on a declining buyout amount established in the lease agreement. Another benefit: additional housing is easily created on an existing property and the homeowner gets income for it without putting out money. The ADU is likely to increase the value of the property, so the owner is creating equity by this additional value, and it can be paid off from the sales proceeds if the homeowner decides to sell prior to the end of the lease period. This company is currently in the Portland metro area and is reportedly planning to expand its work to other cities. Unfortunately, they didn’t get back to me before press time, but I’ll follow up in a later article if there’s information to share about Bend. This seems like a great way for homeowners to increase the value of their property and offset monthly mortgage costs with the rental income—but whether it makes more affordable housing available in the short term is debatable, given market rent rates, which is what will be charged for such rentals. However, the increase in the supply of housing could help with price stabilization in the long term and translate to more affordable housing.

Renting just doesn’t compare to the privacy and free rein that comes with owning a home. • Make your own rules without landlord restrictions • Down Payment Assistance Available 1 • Fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgages • Qualify for tax breaks 2

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Smells Like Quarantine Spirit

I’m a 41-year-old married lesbian. My wife and I used to work from home together. She recently got an important job, and she’s now gone all day, five days a week. I’m happy for her, and this is good for us in the long run, but I’m really sad and lonely. —Isolated Avoid any temptation to kidnap strangers lingering in your building’s lobby. “Are you going to cut me up and put me in your freezer?” the terrified UPS man will ask. You: “Uh, I thought we’d just hang out and have coffee, but whatever works for you.” Healthier (and less felonious) forms of coping start with unpacking what loneliness is. The late neuroscientist John Cacioppo explained loneliness as a painful feeling of “disconnection” from others. He differentiated loneliness—the aching longing for human connection—from a desire for solitude, “the pleasures of sometimes being by yourself.” And he and his wife and research partner, psychologist Stephanie Cacioppo, noted that loneliness has been associated with serious negative effects on not just emotional well-being but also physical health—including an increased risk of heart attacks. (It seems heartbreak isn’t just a metaphor.) However, as you’re staring gloomily into the void (the indentation in the couch where your wife used to sit during the day), it might help to understand that our emotions are actually our watchdogs. They rise up in us to motivate us to engage in the sort of behaviors—like connecting with other people—that would help us survive and pass on our genes. For example, we humans evolved to be cooperators—interdependent—which is to say we’re “people who need people.” Take author Henry David Thoreau, an icon for hermitude and self-sufficiency who put in big chunks of alone time out by Walden Pond. What few people realize, notes Thoreau expert Elizabeth Witherell, is that he was also a huge people person. In fact, Thoreau wrote in “Walden”, “I think that I love society as much as most, and am ready enough to fasten myself like a bloodsucker for the time to any full-blooded man that comes in my way.” As for you, it’s possible that some of the feelbad you’re experiencing is the discomfort we often feel about change. But chances are, you’d feel a good bit better if you could replace at least some of the

level of daily human engagement you’re used to. You could, for example, go out to a coffee shop for part of your workday— the same coffee shop every day so you can connect with other regulars there. You could also invite work-at-home friends over to your place to be coworkers. Volunteer work could be helpful, too. No, it isn’t the same as having your wife there with you all day. But it should dial down your separation distress—perhaps even substantially. This should allow you to let your wife know you really missed her—but maybe just with a sexy kiss at the door. No guilt tripping, sadwifeface, or Amy Alkon going man’s best friendstyle—spending your day shredding all the paper products in the house with your teeth and then moving on to the drywall.

Love You Faux Ever

How do you know when a man’s “I love you” is for real? I’ve had men express their love to me with great sincerity, only to vanish not long afterward. Are all men this fickle? Manipulative? —Upset Why does a man say “I love you”? Sometimes because “Look, a ferret in a top hat!” doesn’t do much to get a woman into bed. To parse whether a man’s “I love you” is just the later-in-the-relationship version of “You related to Yoda? Because yodalicious,” you need to consider context. The exact same statement can have different meanings depending on the context—the situation, the circumstances in which it’s made. Not surprisingly, research by evolutionary social psychologist Joshua Ackerman and his colleagues suggests that men’s I-love-yous “are likely to be more sincere (i.e., less colored by the goal of attaining initial sexual access) after sex has occurred.” They also find that men, on average, start thinking about “confessing love” 97 days into a relationship—so just over three months. Of course, an individual man may know sooner or take longer. All in all, the best lie detector you probably have is context—racking up a good bit of time and experiences with a man and seeing how well the walk matches the talk. You might even wait till the threemonth benchmark before concluding that the I-love-yous are likely to be for real— and aren’t, say, the best possible air bag for what might come shortly afterward: “I got you a little something on my work trip. It requires a short course of antibiotics.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant,” wrote French author Honoré de Balzac. I think that’s an exaggeration, but it does trigger a worthwhile meditation. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase of your cycle when you have maximum power to raise your appreciation of elegance, understand how it could beautify your soul, and add more of it to your repertoire. So here are your homework meditations: What does elegance mean to you? Why might it be valuable to cultivate elegance, not just to enhance your self-presentation, but also to upgrade your relationship with your deep self? (P.S.: Fashion designer Christian Dior said, “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity.”) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many of us imagine medieval Europe to have been drab and dreary. But historian Jacques Le Goff tells us that the people of that age adored luminous hues: “big jewels inserted into book-bindings, glowing gold objects, brightly painted sculpture, paintings covering the walls of churches, and the colored magic of stained glass.” Maybe you’ll be inspired by this revelation, Virgo. I hope so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you can activate sleeping wisdom and awaken dormant energy by treating your eyes to lots of vivid reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, purples, golds, blacks, coppers, and pinks. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An astrologer on Tumblr named Sebastian says this about your sign: “Libras can be boring people when they don’t trust you enough to fully reveal themselves. But they can be just as exciting as any fire sign and just as weird as any Aquarius and just as talkative as a Gemini and just as empathetic as a Pisces. Really, Librans are some of the most eccentric people you’ll ever meet, but you might not know it unless they trust you enough to take their masks off around you.” Spurred by Sebastian’s analysis, here’s my advice to you: I hope you’ll spend a lot of time with people you trust in the coming weeks, because for the sake of your mental and physical and spiritual health, you’ll need to express your full eccentricity. (Sebastian’s at http://venuspapi.tumblr.com.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A blogger who calls herself Wistful Giselle has named the phenomena that make her “believe in magic.” They include the following: “illuminated dust in the air; the moments when a seedling sprouts; the intelligence gazing back at me from a crow’s eyes; being awaken by the early morning sun; the energy of storms; old buildings overgrown with plants; the ever-changing grey green blue moods of the sea; the shimmering moon on a cool, clear night.” I invite you to compile your own list, Scorpio. You’re entering a time when you will be the beneficiary of magic in direct proportion to how much you believe in and are alert for magic. Why not go for the maximum? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Since 1969, eight-foot-two-inch-tall Big Bird has been the star of the kids’ TV show *Sesame Street*. He’s a yellow bird puppet who can talk, write poetry, dance, and roller skate. In the early years of the show, our hero had a good friend who no one else saw or believed in: Mr. Snuffleupagus. After 17 years, there came a happy day when everyone else in the Sesame Street neighborhood realized that Snuffy was indeed real, not just a figment of Big Bird’s imagination. I’m foreseeing a comparable event in your life sometime soon, Sagittarius. You’ll finally be able to share a secret truth or private pleasure or unappreciated asset. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Activist and author Simone de Beauvoir was one of those Capricorns whose lust for life was both lush and intricate. “I am awfully greedy,” she wrote. “I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many

SUMMIT MEDICAL GROUP OREGON - BMC

friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish.” Even if your longings are not always as lavish and ravenous as hers, Capricorn, you now have license to explore the mysterious state she described. I dare you to find out how voracious you can be if you grant yourself permission. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to vividly express your appreciation for and understanding of the people you care about most. I urge you to show them why you love them. Reveal the depths of your insights about their true beauty. Make it clear how their presence in your life has had a beneficent or healing influence on you. And if you really want to get dramatic, you could take them to an inspiring outdoor spot and sing them a tender song or two. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her book *Yarn: Remembering the Way Home*, Piscean knitter Kyoko Mori writes, “The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil sprit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches.” The idea is that the mistake “is a crack left open to let in the light.” Mori goes on to testify about the evil spirit she wants to be free of. “It’s that little voice in my head that says, ‘I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.’” I’ve quoted Mori at length, Pisces, because I think her insights are the exact tonic you need right now. ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The prettier the garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener,” writes aphorist B. E. Barnes. That’ll be especially applicable to you in the coming weeks. You’ll have extra potential to create and foster beauty, and any beauty you produce will generate practical benefits for you and those you care about. But for best results, you’ll have to expend more effort than maybe you thought you should. It might feel more like work than play—even though it will ultimately enhance your ability to play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author and theologian Thomas Merton thought that the most debilitating human temptation is to settle for too little; to live a comfortable life rather than an interesting one. I wouldn’t say that’s always true about you, Taurus. But I do suspect that in the coming weeks, a tendency to settle for less could be the single most devitalizing temptation you’ll be susceptible to. That’s why I encourage you to resist the appeal to accept a smaller blessing or punier adventure than you deserve. Hold out for the best and brightest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’ve learned quite a lot, over the years, by avoiding what I was supposed to be learning.” So says the wise and well-educated novelist Margaret Atwood. Judging by your current astrological omens, I think this is an excellent clue for you to contemplate right now. What do you think? Have you been half-avoiding any teaching that you or someone else thinks you’re “supposed” to be learning? If so, I suggest you avoid it even stronger. Avoid it with cheerful rebelliousness. Doing so may lead you to what you *really* need to learn about next. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sometimes you make it difficult for me to reach you. You act like you’re listening but you’re not really listening. You semi-consciously decide that you don’t want to be influenced by anyone except yourself. When you lock me out like that, I become a bit dumb. My advice isn’t as good or helpful. The magic between us languishes. Please don’t do that to me now. And don’t do it to anyone who cares about you. I realize that you may need to protect yourself from people who aren’t sufficiently careful with you. But your true allies have important influences to offer, and I think you’ll be wise to open yourself to them.

SMOKE SIGNALS Drudge Report

By Josh Jardine

New cannabis report is getting a lot of attention—but maybe not for being entirely accurate

923 SE 3rd ST

A NEW LOCATION

new report is out, examining how Oregon is doing with our recreational cannabis program. Much like Thomas Kinkade, it paints an ugly picture. Oregon Attorney General Billy Williams says Oregon’s cannabis is “out of control.” The “Insight Report: An Initial Assessment of Cannabis Production, Distribution, and Consumption in Oregon 2018,” was prepared by a group of city, state and federal agencies which comprise the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. It’s received considerable attention, but let’s assess this assessment, as it may be used as a tool to impose some changes to Oregon’s recreational cannabis program. Who wrote this? HIDTA is federally funded through the Drug Enforcement Agency and administered by the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The program coordinates law enforcement goals between various agencies and governments on drug trafficking. Why does this sound familiar? Possibly because you may be stoned. But also, yes, a draft version prepared by the Oregon State Police was obtained and published by The Oregonian in March 2017. That was sort of a total nightmare disaster, objectively speaking. When the OSP found out the draft report was to be published, they immediately denounced their own report. Yet, it was extensively cited shortly thereafter by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a letter to Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, except oh no he didn’t, as Brown snapped back that “By using incomplete data, inaccurate research and unreliable sources, the flawed document drew unsubstantiated conclusions about cannabis legalization in Oregon to serve the author’s personal agenda” as well as a “blatant disregard of any professional research standards. “

Oh, right...that thing. Christ. OK, so what does this “updated and corrected” report say? We are producing more cannabis than we are consuming. (This is true.) The report used analytical models to estimate that Oregon’s rec program produces over 2 million pounds per year, with an estimated annual consumption of between 186,100 and 372,600 pounds. (Pretty loose with that consumption estimate, HIDTA.) The report doesn’t state how exactly officials are determining what constitutes a “pound” of cannabis—is

the entire wet, freshly cut plant being “weighed,” or solely the cured, trimmed buds? Leaves and stalks aren’t sought after by, well, anyone, so it’s a crucial distinction that could radically alter the numbers presented. As far as corrected, OLCC spokesperson Mark Pettinger announced, “The number of recreational marijuana producer licenses the report cites is about 1,000 more than the actual current number of producer licenses as of August 1.” ...We need to figure out if there are other inaccuracies in the report.” Yes, let’s do that, because overestimating 1,000 growers is a huge mistake. Pettinger adds the report doesn’t make enough of a distinction between the three sources of cannabis in the state: regulated recreational, medical and unregulated. What else? The Portland Business Journal writes “The report didn’t directly say legalization has led to more cannabis moving out of state,” but “illicit distribution of cannabis has persisted after the emergence of the state-sanctioned market... with “14,550 pounds of Oregon cannabis worth around $48 million...was seized en route to 37 states... between July 2015 and January 2018.” Cannabis has been leaving the state by the thousands of pounds for decades, and the report doesn’t attribute the cannabis being exported as specifically from the rec program. Illicit marketers gonna market illicitly—which is why the Oregon legislature last session passed the “Illegal Marijuana Market Enforcement Grant Program,” which will offer $1.5 million per year for six years to local police to fight the illegal market. OMMP growers have begun strict METRIC reporting as well, further reducing opportunities for product diversion. It states there is “insufficient evidence to support or refute the therapeutic value of cannabis” for cancers, cancer-associated anorexia cachexia and anorexia nervosa, IBS, epilepsy... or as a substitute for other addictive substances.” Except there is though, so, yeah, nah. This is a biased, inaccurate report, produced by agencies with a prohibitionist bias, and may be used to justify federal intervention. Read the link in the online version of this story. OLCC spokesperson Mark Pettinger announced, “the number of recreational marijuana producer licenses the report cites is about 1,000 more than the actual current number of producer licenses as of August 1.”
