Climate Change Action Should Not Be Bipartisan—nor Ignored Locally

I

deally, the battle against the effects of climate change would be fought both on the local and national levels. But barring action by the latter, we can’t forget the impact the former can have.

In October, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its report outlining the consequences of rising global temperatures, stating that limiting warming is not only feasible and affordable, but also necessary to protect the planet. The IPCC report stated that without action, people will face increasing impacts, including heat waves and limited water supplies. That report goes in line with the National Climate Assessment released Nov. 23, which stated that the U.S. is already experiencing the negative effects of climate change, including crop losses, lost labor and extreme weather damages. One need only look at the widespread damage done to entire towns in California this month—in November, not July or August—as an example of what “extreme weather” can do. These are not problems that can be fixed by admonishing locals for not “raking the forest.”

In another report published Nov. 15 by Oregon State University, researchers showed that the forests of the east Cascades—as well as the forests in Rocky Mountains and in the Sierra Nevada range—are expected to see increasing impacts and more “forest mortality” as a result of climate change, including droughts and wildfires. Add in the fact that Bend was ranked #8 in a recent Pyrologix study of the 100 Northwest cities with the highest cumulative risk of wildfire, and it should be obvious that this is an issue that does indeed hit close to home.

Unfortunately, efforts at the federal level are likely to continue to be stymied by a president who can only be characterized as a human-caused climate change denier.

Efforts to mitigate climate change are out there, but they’re not typically met with bipartisan support.

Last week, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) made two moves in the interest of curbing the effects of climate change, including introducing a resolution—signed also

by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and 23 other Senators—that urged immediate action to address climate change in light of the IPCC report. Merkley also introduced new legislation that calls for the U.S to transition to 100 percent zero-emission vehicles by 2040.

Not a single Republican signed Merkley’s resolution.

That’s unfortunate, because addressing the human impacts of climate change should not be a partisan issue. When we look back upon the challenges facing people of our time, the issue of climate change will be the

biggest, by far. We have hope that a more Democratic House of Representatives will bring more accountability and action around the subject of climate change. But with the federal government unable to move its gridlock at the present time, it becomes even more important for local governments to act and find ways to address climate change impacts locally.

Case in point: The City of Bend’s transportation goal to reduce vehicle miles traveled. While others in the community have derided the City for that goal, stating that it’s not in line with the way people in the city behave, it’s still a goal to be pursued.

Transportation contributed 28.5 percent of greenhouse gases in 2016, according to the Environmental Protection Agency— the largest share by sector, with electricity at 28.4 percent, mostly from burning coal and natural gas. In that vein, it’s irresponsible for a city, in establishing policy, to do anything BUT make an effort to reduce vehicle miles traveled. Along those same lines, it’s irresponsible for a city government to do anything BUT make moves to reduce its energy consumption, as the City of Bend has done. Some of those moves may be uncomfortable and may make local residents feel put-upon or dictated to— but any move in that direction is a move toward reducing impact. If local efforts were enough to stem the tide of climate change, to keep our forests healthy and help us avoid the calamity of a city-wide wildfire, we may never have to feel the more-uncomfortable feeling of having to lose our homes or to fight local wars over water resources.

It’s tempting, during a time when our national leader seems so averse to taking action, to throw up our hands and admit defeat, but we don’t buy the notion that scientifically valid information has to be partisan. We don’t buy the notion that all of the action has to be initiated nationally, either.

While placing—or maintaining—regulations on energy and industry would have a greater impact than the efforts of one or two small Central Oregon cities, it doesn’t make us immune to action.

Taking a look at how and why communities use water—including how they issue water rights—will become a bigger issue moving forward, one that will require us to look beyond the standard allocation of water rights, however “historical” those rights may be. Forest stewardship in the form of planting drought and heat-resistant trees and in the examination of forest thinning should be explored. In the City of Bend, planning to reduce the negative effects of climate change and looking at ways to further reduce our impact should be part of the equation. With a larger proportion of environmentally aware councilors recently elected to the Bend City Council, we hope these issues will be met with the gravity they deserve. Too long have the issues of climate change and our local impact been underestimated and treated as side projects. Looking south to Paradise, Calif., we should understand how quickly and devastatingly the effects of climate change can hit home.

Right,” Boot states that the overt racism just beneath the Republican Party’s surface has had more to do with it’s electoral success over the years than anything else and is the single most important factor in explaining the unfortunate phenomena of “the rise of Trump.”

The Republicans have always known what the rest of us have chosen to deny or ignore: that our American society is pervasively racist. Giving credit where due, Trump recognized this and targeted racists, bigots and xenophobes with his Hitlerish campaign rhetoric. And the rest is, sadly, history.

Boot says a lot of people vote Republican simply because of the party’s racist positions, not because they love supply side economics or support NATO. In Trump, the right finally found someone who seemed to champion the interests of white people to the satisfaction of the wacko extremists.

Boot points out that Republicans have been appealing for white votes over the years with coded racial appeals, such as Nixon’s Southern strategy, and Reagan kicking off his election campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and the Willie Horton ad from the George Bush 1.

But Trump is the first to fully deliver on the Republicans’ White Power agenda. Before Trump, Boot describes the Republican Party as “a majority conservative party with a white nationalist fringe.” With Trump, Boot says the party has metamorphosed into “a white nationalist party with a conservative fringe.” But the bottom line about Republicans, Boot says, is that they really don’t have any principles or ideas, just like their mindless leader. The main reason most of the people in the GOP are there, according to Boot, is simply because they hate Democrats.

A country built on these kind of values surely can’t be long for the lasting.

IN RESPONSE TO, “FIREARMS” ON 11/22 As a healthcare provider, I have to correct Mark H. Wagner’s claim in his November 22 letter to The Source that “more people are killed by stoners and drunks operating motor vehicles every day than shooters in a year.” His comparison suggests that the motor vehicle fatality rate due to substance use disorder is more the 365 times higher than firearm deaths.

Here are last year’s statistics: in the United

5 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 6, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Jack Zika, our newly elected state representative, wants to increase local control over land use decisions and will work to make it easier to expand the Land Use Boundary. “Local control” in Deschutes County has resulted in sagebrush, sub-divisions, high end sub-divisions for the wealthy (Destination Resorts) and expensive sub-divisions west of Bend which are located in wildlife zones and forested areas. These areas will probably see fires similar to what we now see in California.

The Urban Growth Boundary was created in the 1970s as part of Oregon’s land use laws and was designed to prevent urban sprawl and maintain a “green space” around cities.

A study of the “rural” lands outside of Bend’s Urban Growth Boundary will show that individuals have found numerous ways to avoid the intent of the law to develop in our “green space.” Various organizations, such as the Bulletin, have long fought to weaken the concept of the boundary. They believe eliminating the boundary will result in lower housing costs which will benefit needed workers such as teachers and firemen.

A more probable result of this action is that it will attract even more people to the area, thus increasing sprawl and the need for more schools and infrastructure and taxes.

Who can guarantee the new residents will be trained in the vocations needed by the community? Our business and political leaders have chosen to market Bend as a resort-tourist oriented center with Destination Resorts, expensive sub-divisions, “boutique” hotels and actively recruit newcomers having buckets of cash equity. Locally born individuals making $12 to $18 per hour in the tourist trade cannot compete with the wealthy newcomers and will never be able to afford a $200,000 home. Local political and business leadership needs to look in the mirror to see who is partly responsible for high housing costs.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

@kaciebernhardt found a tree. Tag @sourceweekly and get featured in Lightmeter!

States, more than 40,000 persons were killed by bullets and just over 30,000 died in motor vehicle accidents. In Oregon, 521 were killed by bullets and 336 died in motor vehicle accidents. For both the U.S. and Oregon, the firearm death rate is statistically significantly higher than the motor vehicle death rate. The statistical significance is that there is much less than a one in a hundred chance that the firearm death rate is not higher.

Moreover the motor vehicle death data include accidents in which the driver was neither “stoned” nor drunk. The ratio of firearm deaths to motor vehicle deaths caused by inebriated/intoxicated driver is even greater than 40,000:30,000 and 521:336 ratios.

To rationalize his comparison, Mr. Wagner may want to limit “shooters” to just those committing mass killings. To do so ignores that every firearm death is caused by a shooter, whether one’s self, someone else, or as a result of an accident. He insists that firearms “will never hurt anyone until a human takes control of” the firearm. Yes, each of the 40,000+ firearm deaths last year was human mediated.

One more fact should be recognized.

The rate of motor vehicle deaths in the U.S. and Oregon have significantly and steadily declined during the past three decades. Firearm deaths have escalated nationally and in our state to the highest level ever recorded.

If we are going to reverse this trend we first have to appreciate the magnitude of the problem. To trivialize it in any way is a ruthless disservice.

—Archie Bleyer, MD

LETTER OF THE WEEK:

Archie: Thanks for your input. Since you didn’t name a source, I looked up some stats, available for both categories only for 2016. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2016 saw 37,461 motor vehicle deaths. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data indicates 38,658 gun deaths in 2016. While I agree that the “drunks and stoners” comment was likely erroneous and too over-reaching, the available data shows the numbers of motor vehicle and gun deaths are close, keeping in mind that those numbers include all motor vehicle deaths, and that the gun numbers include suicides.

City Manager signs emergency declaration to open up more lodging for the homeless

ith sub-freezing temperatures predicted this week, Bend City Manager Eric King signed a weather emergency declaration that went into effect on Dec. 1 and runs until Feb. 28, 2019.

King’s declaration allows the use of approved alternative shelter facilities to provide emergency overnight lodging for homeless people when the temperature is or is predicted to be below 25 degrees — and all Bend-area shelter facilities “Our existing shelters, are full.

The private warming shelter —CINDY KETTERING opened last winter.

“Our existing shelters, Shepherd’s House and Bethlehem Inn, usually receive a temporary overflow increase as well to allow people to sleep in dining areas that normally would not be occupied at night,” Kettering said in an email.

When the declaration is made, Kettering said Bend Fire sometimes receives calls from people about becoming an approved emergency shelter. According to the City, alternative shelters must complete a fire safety inspection and fix all safety issues prior to providing overnight shelter.

As part of the emergency overnight lodging requirements put in place by Bend Fire, the maximum number of people that can use an emergency shelter is determined by an occupant load factor of one person for every 50 square feet or 200 gross square feet per occupant.

Bend Fire says sleeping areas may only be located on the ground floor of an emergency shelter, and not in basements or floors “above grade.”

Seeking Asylum

One family’s story of surrendering at the Texas border and making their way to Oregon

Carlos, an asylum seeker from Honduras, explores Smith Rock State Park in October with his young daughter riding on his shoulders.

leave all that behind.”

Ana studied English in school in Honduras and Phillips is looking into the requirements for her to enter the nursing field in Oregon.

“It’s killing them to not be able to work,” Phillips said.

Yalid Fuentes, the Hispanic pastor at Highland Baptist Church in Redmond, and his wife, Melissa, bought coats for the family and dined with them, he said. He was surprised to find out they were his countrymen.

“What has happened to them is horrible,” said Fuentes, who came from a smaller and more peaceful town in Honduras.

Carlos and Ana did experience a positive step once they came to the U.S. The couple had wanted to marry in Honduras, but could not afford the steep license fee, Ana said. On Nov. 11, Carlos and Ana were officially married at a Presbyterian church in Prineville and Fuentes interpreted for the ceremony.

“I don’t feel alone,” Ana said, expressing her gratitude to LCA and the ISN volunteers who helped the family.

“Thanks to God, now we feel much safer.”

LCA will feature the family’s story at its annual Empowering Families Luncheon on Thursday, Dec. 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Bend.

Editor’s note: Names have been changed in the interest of the family’s safety as they seek asylum. The couple’s quotes have been translated from Spanish to English.

Denise Holley is a research and communications assistant at the Latino Community Association.

iolence touched Carlos’s life at age 5 when unknown assailants murdered his father.

In 2008, when he was 17, he came home on his bicycle and encountered armed men leaving his home, he said. Inside were the bodies of his sister and the husband of another sister, slain in front of the whole family. Later, the assailants returned and torched their house. The family members survived because they slept at a relative’s home. Carlos doesn’t know why the men wanted to kill his family members.

Carlos’s mother called the police, but they took five hours to arrive, he said. When they saw their house in flames, they called the fire department. Reporters arrived before the firefighters, who showed up an hour later when there were only ashes left.

Carlos was a witness and a marked man. For the next few years, he left the house only to work and tried to keep a low profile, he said. He met Ana, his future wife, in 2012.

Last summer, while Carlos was working late, four masked men showed up at their home, Ana said. They pushed her to the floor, held a gun to her head and threatened to burn down the house with her and their toddler inside if Carlos did not show up. Then the men left and a neighbor came to help Ana. Their 3-year-old daughter was unharmed and slept through the ordeal.

When Carlos arrived, he called the police and made a report. The next day, he received a threatening phone call and the family left to stay with his mother.

It was then they decided to leave the country. “The police in our country don’t do anything,” Ana said.

In Honduras, the country they fled, gangs routinely commit acts of violence and rarely experience consequences. The homicide rate, 43.6 per 100,000 persons, is eight times higher than the U.S. average, according to the Association for a More Just Society. In a 2018 report, the U.S. State Department says the government lacks resources to investigate and prosecute cases, and police often lack vehicles or fuel to respond to calls. “This means police may take hours to arrive at the scene of a violent crime or may not respond at all. As a result, criminals

operate with a high degree of impunity,” says the report.

Carlos called a close friend in Prineville who agreed to take them in if they could get to the U.S. The couple sold everything they owned to finance their journey north by bus and train—even selling Ana’s nursing uniforms. It was painful for her to leave after completing her last year of nursing studies, she said.

Carlos and Ana collected police reports, news accounts of the murders and arson, their student records and background checks to bolster their claim for asylum. When they crossed the border at McAllen, Texas, they surrendered to a Border Patrol agent. They spent five days in detention before a local advocate helped negotiate their conditional release, said Sue Nell Phillips, a volunteer with the Latino Community Association of Central Oregon. The same advocate helped them connect with LCA and the Immigrant Solidarity Network once they arrived in Oregon.

The family needed everything – food, clothing, transportation, accompaniment to hearings and translation of their documents. ISN and LCA appealed for help and “the response has been amazing,” Phillips said. Central Oregonians donated gift cards, warm clothes, a phone and a bicycle trailer to tow their young daughter.

Milagros Aparicio, client services coordinator for LCA in Bend, first met the family in early October. LCA arranged free legal consultations and enrolled them in health insurance.

“They have a really strong case,” Aparicio said.

After Christmas, the family plans to move to temporary housing in Bend, offered free by a woman who contacted ISN, she said.

Phillips and her husband, José, drove the family to Medford in October for an appointment with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, she said. Agents put a GPS monitor on Carlos. When Phillips realized the family had been cooped up in a house for a month, they made a stop at Crater Lake on the way back, so the family could experience the natural beauty of Oregon.

Later, she took them to Smith Rock.

Phillips taught Spanish for years and now works as a court interpreter, so she was well qualified to help Carlos and Ana as they began the lengthy process of applying for asylum. But they need a good lawyer, she said.

“The chances of getting asylum are much higher if you have an attorney,” Phillips said. “I feel they have a stronger case than most.”

The couple brings skills: Carlos is experienced in construction and welding and Ana had almost graduated as a nurse, Phillips said. “It was a huge sacrifice for her to

1 “These Truths” book by Jill Lepore For the guy who likes to recall the good ol’ days, the most ambitious single-volume American history book in decades.

Of all the people on your list, this person may be the hardest to buy for. Nostalgic, maybe not entirely stoked on the holidays and happiest hanging out at home with a hot cup of cocoa; group adventures or extreme outdoor experiences are probably not his thing. Still, these locally sourced gifts give him some things he may not have 2 known he was looking for in life.

Citing influences from Kris Kristofferson and John Prine, Morgan’s latest album is everything you’d expect in a solid country album, from relatable stories of heartache to boot stompin’ tracks that’ll get you on your feet.

Brought to you by Top Shelf Medicine: Because They Need It

“Days after raging wildfires began to burn in California, thousands of people are dealing with the devastation, many having lost everything to the deadly flames. The American Red Cross is on the ground, providing shelter, food and comfort for them as fires continue to burn in both the northern and southern parts of the state. More than 630 Red Cross volunteers are providing help and support at evacuation centers to offer safe refuge for people impacted by these devastating fires. Overnight, more than 960 people sought refuge from the wildfires in 11 Red Cross and community evacuation centers across the state. Working with partners, the Red Cross has served more than 34,100 meals and snacks. Volunteer mental health, health and spiritual care professionals have provided more than 6,600 contacts to provide support and care to evacuees. We’ve also distributed more than 14,000 relief items for people forced from their homes.

Entire communities and families have been left reeling from these deadly wildfires. Help people affected by the California wildfires by visiting redcross.org, calling 1- 800-RED CROSS or texting the word CAWILDFIRES to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Donations enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from these disasters.”

—Thank you, David Ordonez

Gifting Gift Cards

Gift cards don’t have to be lame. Here’s how to gift them right

By Keely Damara congerdesign via Pixabay

As time grows thin, the safe fall back that is all too often poo-pooed as impersonal at best, seems to be the last man standing: the gift card. I know, I know — what’s more impersonal than a gift card, right? While a $5 gift card to a chain coffee shop is, indeed, not the warmest gift you can give to a co-worker (let alone a family member), not all gift cards are created equal.

What better way to show how well you know someone than to give them the gift of experiencing a really awesome local boutique or shop that’s right up their alley?

Here are a few ideas to get your wheels turning:

31 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 6, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The holidays loom just ahead, with tinseltrimmed trees gleaming ever brighter — a reminder of all the gifts we have yet to procure for our friends and family. Some are easy to shop for — some, not so much.

What do you get for the mother who loves to shop, but never seems to be able to tell you what she wants for Christmas? Or the weekend warrior who loves to explore, but has everything?

Yes, there is a right way to gift a gift card.

Game Quest

Game Quest

The Workhouse

Ju-bee-lee

Old Mill District

What do you purchase for the niece, nephew or adult gamer when the last video game console you remember playing was an SNES? Game Quest has served Bend for the past 20 years, selling used video game systems, games and collectibles — from Sega to Xbox One. Find good deals on used games, often better than online sellers, and talk shop with fellow video game aficionados.

380 SE 3rd St., Bend 541-382-4059 On Facebook

Ju-bee-lee is one of those stores you pop into without any clear idea of what you’re looking for and leave with a boatload of cool items you didn’t even know your life was missing. Expect to find ornate journals, handmade candles and jewelry, bohemian clothing and quirky odds ‘n’ ends. It’s not only a great store for finding a unique gift for a special someone, but also an awesome shopping experience to gift them as well.

The Patient Angler

In addition to selling flies, rods and waders, this little shop offers fly tying and casting workshops. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable and won’t make you feel like a mark as soon as you walk in the door.

Peter, the owner, is happy to suggest a new fishing spot or what flies to use based on where you’re headed. Whether you’re new to the game or just looking for fellow fishermen to talk shop with, The Patient Angler is the perfect place.

The Workhouse is a creative space and retail gallery featuring local and regional artists. Housed in a gorgeous old brick building in the Old Ironworks district, the artist collective features a wide variety of art and handmade goods. While you can surely find an awesome gift yourself at The Workhouse, the experience of perusing the eclectic and ever-changing inventory of art while talking with the artists is half the fun.

50 SE Scott St., #6, Bend 541-241-2754 Theworkhousebend.com

Just this week, the Old Mill District announced a new gift card program, allowing you to buy gift cards that are good at any of 55 locations in the shopping center. You can get the gift cards at the Ticket Mill, Confluence Fly Shop or Hello Sunshine in the Old Mill, or online at its website. And FYI, the paper gift certificates you might have gotten before the new card program are still good.

For the Ladies

“Witch Elm” by Tana French. She really can’t write a bad book.

“Kingdom of the Blind” by Louise Penny. Ditto.

For the Men “Wolves of Eden” by Kevin McCarthy. A great literary Western set in the Dakota Territory, circa 1866.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy “Fire and Blood” by George R.R. Martin.

A new book based on some of the backstory of the Targaryens and not the next in the Song of Ice and Fire saga—but c’mon, you know you’ll read it.

“A Winter’s Promise” by Christelle Dabos. The French Harry Potter has taken Europe by storm.

“How Long ‘til Black Future Month” by N.K. Jemisin. The first short story collection from the three-time winner of the Hugo Award. Really, read anything she’s written.

Bend Foodies Love These Gadgets

By Lisa Sipe

Functional gifts to delight home cooks

35

“M

Lisa Sipe

y most recent purchase is a silicone spatula for cleaning out the peanut butter jar. Honestly I haven’t used it yet except to spank my boyfriend once and for that it worked great,” posted a local gourmand. I busted up laughing.

I just joined the Bend Foodies Facebook group and read a thread posted by Judy Roth asking, “What’s the newest kitchen gadget you’ve purchased and how would you rate it? 1 star-waste of money, 5 star-OMG amazing.” The comments were both entertaining and educational. These are the gadgets foodies in Bend gave high fives.

For anyone regardless of skill level: Silicone spatula, $5.99 and up. This affordable powerhouse will scrape every last drop of cake batter out of a bowl, is non-corrosive, won’t scratch pots or pans and works well in high heat. A must-have for anyone with a kitchen.

Cutco cheese knife, $73 and up.

Cutting through tomatoes, gooey brie and hard cheese like it’s butter, this somewhat expensive knife is worth it.

I’ve owned mine for 15 years and it still works perfectly. I even take it camping.

Instant Pot, $59.95 and up. The darling of the small appliance world at the moment, and for good reason: it claims to replace seven appliances. It’s a fast-working multi-tasker that functions as a slow cooker, pressure cooker, steamer, rice cooker, sauté-r and searer, yogurt maker and warmer. In the words of Sara Santa, “It’s the most amazing thing. It gets the most use for eggs— hard boiled, faux-sous-vide, quiche— but I love it for brown rice, beans, stews... hands down the best gadget I’ve bought in forever!”

Cooking Class Risotto

Indulge in french fries with less guilt. An air fryer only needs a small amount of oil.

Air Fryer, $34.99 and up. Making deep fried food accessible to the health conscious, the air fryer uses circulating hot air to produce a crisp layer around food. Using less than a tablespoon of oil it can fry meat, fish, vegetables and frozen food. I use mine to make homemade French fries. Another Bend foodie loves using it to cook chicken thighs.

For avid home cooks: KitchenAid Mixer, $189 and up. Like the Instant Pot, the KitchenAid mixer is a workhorse. If you love to bake it’s great for beating and mixing batters and doughs. You can also use it to shred cooked meat instead of pulling it apart with two forks. Purchase accessories and it turns into a Swiss army knife with the ability to slice, shred, grind, make pasta, sausage and more.

Vitamix, $249.99 and up. The Vitamix mixes perfectly blended smoothies but it’s more than an easy to clean, multi-speed blender. You can make frozen ice cream, sherbet, fruit

Lisa Sipe

Love camembert, brie, cheddar, gouda or blue? This Cutco serrated knife will easily slice any cheese.

sorbet or a hot soup in one container in under 10 minutes. This is a musthave for the vegan home cook, perfect for making nut-based sauces and nondairy milks.

Hand blender, $29.99 and up. This stick with a blender bottom is useful for blending directly in pots on the stove or bowls. You can quickly thicken a soup with it since you don’t have to pour the hot soup into a blender. It’s more convenient and less messy. Local foodies use it to make gravy and homemade mayonnaise.

For coffee and tea lovers: Electric kettle with temperature control, $64 and up. It’s very difficult to precision boil on a stovetop. When you have high temperatures that could scald white teas, using an electric kettle helps select the exact temperature.

If you make your coffee with a French press, using boiling water can make your coffee bitter. Set this kettle to the right temperature, 200 degrees F, for a smooth, flavorful morning cup.

For advanced home cooks: Sous vide machine, $64 and up.

Cook like a pro with one of these. By vacuum sealing food and cooking it in a water bath at a precise temperature, food cooks consistently and stays juicy.

If you have a problem with overcooking meat, you need one of these.

Proofing box, $154 and up. Controlled temperature and humidity are a bread maker’s friend when working with yeasted doughs. With the dry, cold weather in Central Oregon a proofing box is a game changer that can yield more professional results.

Local foodies know what works in the kitchen. Whether you’re a home cook or need to buy gifts for one, this list has something useful for everyone.

Risotto fills your belly like a warm blanket. It’s the perfect winter meal.

Learn to make this northern Italian rice dish from Chef and Sommelier Dave Bodi of FERM & Fare. After learning how to make a flavorful stock, the backbone of risotto, Bodi will review how to choose the perfect rice. He will share his chef tricks with you and introduce you to the gougere, a baked French cheese puff. At the end of class students will eat risotto and gougeres while Bodi pours wines and shares pairing information.

Risotto & Gougeres with FERM & Fare Fri., Dec. 14, 6pm, $65 Foxtail Bakeshop & Kitchen 555 Arizona Ave., Ste. 60, Bend fermandfare.com

Gingerbread House Building Party Remember the edible house in Grimm’s “Hansel and Gretel?” You can thank it for the popularity of gingerbread houses because it inspired German bakers to make them in the early 1800s.

They will supply the houses, frosting and trimmings so you can decorate the gingerbread abode of your dreams. Make reservations by calling 541-382-1010; they are required by Dec. 14.

eer lovers in the Northwest swooned when East Coast IPAs began hitting local shelves. Shortly thereafter, Milkshake IPAs became all the rage. Beer geeks are talking about the use of lactose sugar in a Hazy IPA, or should brewers use flaked oats? Other beer lovers (like me) are just waiting to see what’s next. In September, at the Great American Beer Festival, two beers piqued my interest: the Brut IPA and the Rosé. I’m no wine drinker but do enjoy beers aged in wine barrels, so I was excited to give these beers a try.

Brut IPA The Brut IPA is dry, (meaning not sweet). With a taste profile that’s very clean and bright, it’s a style still in its infancy. San Franciso Brewmaster Kim Sturdavant from Social Kitchen and Brewery is said to have founded this style in 2017.

What makes a Brut IPA? Introduction of Amyloglucosidase, an enzyme, is added to an IPA recipe, which breaks down complex sugars and allows for

additional fermentation. Basically, this means that the yeast can eat more of the sugar, leaving a very dry and bubbly mouthfeel. Some beer tasters may mistake this for over-attenuation—or a reduction in strength—which makes sense, but that’s actually the intent for this style of beer. The hops are placed in after the boil, leaving very little aftertaste and surprisingly little bitterness. I made a beeline for these beers at GABF because I rarely get the opportunity to taste them. It’s a very easy drinking beer style with an ABV recommendation of under 7.5 percent for the base beer.

Portland’s Deschutes Brewery pub recently rolled out Rainbow Reign, a Brut IPA available only at that location.

I went to the Bend tasting room recently and tried a beer from their R&D, which I’m convinced was a Brut IPA. I’m praying to the beer gods that this style takes off as I can see myself floating the river with this beer style in my cup holder. 10 Barrel recently had Brut Almighty on tap. I just missed it and am hoping it makes a comeback.

Rosé Beer The Rosé is unique and has a variety of base beer styles. Crooked Stave’s Sour Rosé, for example, is a wild ale, and Firestone Walker has put out the Bret Rosé. I recently drank a Gosebased Rosé from Anderson Valley called Framboise Rose Gose. The saltiness of the Gose kicks up the complexity of this beer. These beers have a beautiful pink hue and tend to be slightly sweet and very effervescent. The pink hue is often attributed to hibiscus, but grape skins have also been used. This is another beer I can see myself enjoying on the river. Rosé beers and ciders are already available on local shelves. I’m waiting for one of Central Oregon’s awesome breweries to take this to the next level.

Would some consider this a “foo foo” drink? Probably, but who cares? It’s delicious and it’s still beer. A beer that drinks like wine for the win!

Garbage SCREEN Hot Hey look! A terrible possession movie!

By Jared Rasic Courtesy of Sony

39 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 6, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’ve seen scarier episodes of “Glee.”

I

guess it’s always nice to start with a compliment, so…I guess “The Possession of Hannah Grace” has a few nice moments balancing shadow with light and silence with jump scares. A better director could have crafted an entire movie for the legitimate creepiness found in those few solitary moments.

Calling this movie hot garbage does a disservice to things that are warm and made of trash.

Instead we have this: “The Possession of Hannah Grace,” not to be confused with “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” or “The Haunting of Molly Hartley.” But who is Hannah Grace? Maybe she’s an interesting enough character to carry a movie? Nope. Hannah Grace is possessed by a demon or a ghost or possibly a leprechaun (we never find out) and is suffocated by her father in the first scene in the film.

Reed (a solid Shay Mitchell), a tortured ex-cop battling her own demons and an addiction to booze and painkillers. Reed is the late-night intake person, so she spends the silent hours with this dead, naked girl whose wounds are slowly healing as the night wears on.

It’s not a terrible premise (although “The Autopsy of Jane Doe” also did the same thing, to much better effect), but it’s never used properly. Reed is battling so many of her own personal issues that it felt inevitable that she would distrust her own eyes as things progressively get spookier at the morgue, but there’s never a moment of her distrusting her own reality. When bad things happen, she believes in the supernatural almost instantly.

Sadly, we’ve still got so much stupid that all goodwill dissipates almost instantly. Cops dropping their service weapons next to creepy demon girls? Check. Terrible computer-generated fire? Check. Is that a "scary" rubber band ball? Sure is. Lemme guess: the finale will be set around the incinerator? Yup.

What a perfect analogy for the entire film: We never get to know Hannah Grace as a person, only as a lifeless shell Calling this movie hot garbage does a disservice to inhabited by a smirking demon not scary enough to frighten the most squeamish of folk. Kind of like how this movie things that are warm and made of trash. “The Possession of is a lifeless shell of the better exorcism movies that have Hannah Grace” is lazy, stupid and profoundly un-frightening. The movie doesn’t even come before. The scariest deserve a theatrical release. thing here is probably the Instead, it should have been catering budget.

May the Source Be with You Holiday Season Edition

By Jared Rasic courtesy of NBC

We’re living our best lives, not because we have the spare time to listen to podcasts and watch cool stuff, but because we’re opening up our minds to differing points of view. The best podcasts, shows and movies don’t just tell us a story, they teach us empathy and acceptance for entire ways of life or thought processes from cultures we have no frame of reference for. You’re not just watching a movie or listening to some comedian talk; you’re doing homework on how to be a better human. Here are a few that helped me be just a little less shitty.

VOLUME 22 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 6, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I know. I can’t believe it has been another year, either. It’s heartbreaking to think about how much time I spent listening to podcasts and binging on another silly…just kidding, it’s the greatest.

"Sorry to Bother You" Boots Riley

"First Reformed" Paul Schrader

"You Were Never Really Here" Lynne Ramsay

Three of the best movies of 2018.

In Pod We Trust:

OK, “Code Switch” is a long-running NPR staple, but its last episode might have made the show appointment listening for me. Focused on the origins of the dog show and its history surrounding Darwin’s “Origin of the Species,” this latest episode also delves into what we can learn about humanity while studying its pets. Where the episode really becomes fascinating is when it brings forth some info about the history of pit bulls and the things American society in particular ignores about the breed.

A new podcast from the folks who bring us the super creepy “Lore” is cause for celebration, and “Unobscured” is most definitely something to rejoice. Hosted by “Lore’s” Aaron Mahnke, “Unobscured” devotes tons of time to the real-life people who lived during history’s darkest days. The entire first season is focusing on the Salem witch trials of 1692 and it somehow feels deceptively simple and terrifyingly modern as we hear how sometimes all it took to be found guilty of witchcraft was not bribing the right people.

41

Bingeworthy:

While there are plenty of interesting documentaries and whatnot on Netflix, it’s Amazon Prime that’s crushing it right now when it comes to content. If you’re not in the mood to binge, three of the best movies of the year are available to stream. “First Reformed” sees Ethan Hawke as a priest questioning his own faith as he gets pulled into a parishioner’s attempt at domestic terrorism. “You Were Never Really Here” has Joaquin Phoenix playing a broken vet who rescues children from sex slavery with his dusty hammer. Finally, “Sorry to Bother You” is an audacious and fearless look at…well, don’t read anything about this movie. Just go into it and let the dreamlike narrative wash over you.

Knowledge of avalanche conditions and terrain can keep snow lovers alive

Knowledge of conditions and the signs of an avalanche make up just one part of a backcountry enthusiast’s training.

Avalanche Danger Scale

New Snow An estimated 90 percent of human-triggered avalanches happen during or within 24 hours after a storm.

Give storm snow the utmost respect and assume high to extreme avalanche danger within 24 hours after a storm. Follow this rule and you will eliminate your risk of getting caught in an avalanche by 90 percent.

Signs Of Recent Avalanches If you see signs of natural avalanches (crown lines, debris) take the danger very seriously. Take extra precaution if the natural avalanches have occurred at a similar elevation and on the same aspect as the slope you want to ride.

Collapsing Or Cracking In Snowpack If you feel the slope collapse under your feet or hear whomping sounds, this is a sign of unstable layers in the snowpack. Cracks may also shoot out from your skis or board as you skin or ride in fresh snow. These are all signs of dangerous snow layers.

Rapid Rise In Temperature No matter the starting temperature, any rapid warm-up is dangerous because the snowpack doesn’t have time to adjust to the temperature change. Take extra precaution on the first warm day after a storm cycle.

Strong Winds, Blowing & Drifting Snow If the wind is strong enough to transport snow then the avalanche conditions can change from stable to dangerous without any new snow. Watch for blowing snow on high ridges and beware of wind-loaded pockets at the top of faces and chutes.

I

started a particular winter morning like I often do: heading into the mountains for an early-morning session of powder skiing before work. Climbing up through the forested sections of Tumalo Mountain with only the moon and my headlamp illuminating the way, I quickly gained the ridgeline and quickened my pace, the East Face bowl coming into view. The 10 inches of fresh snow that fell overnight and the chilly 15 degree-temperatures were all the motivation I needed for this “dawn patrol” excursion. Nearing the top, I spy a group in front of me ready to descend. As the first rider jumps in, the snow collapses around him, crackling like egg-shells, swiftly carrying the passenger toward the bottom of the slope. AVALANCHE! In order to survive and thrive in avalanche conditions, awareness of the dangers is paramount. According to the National Avalanche Center, avalanches kill 30 people per year, and injure many more. The NAC defines an avalanche as “a mass of snow sliding, tumbling, or flowing down an inclined surface.” Knowing a few basics can help avoid the potential tragedy of getting caught in The White Death.

Congress Sends Bill Bolstering Earthquake Program to President

O

A quake near Anchorage highlights the importance of preparation and monitoring.

45 US Army

A scene from the Alaska earthquake of 1964, showing roads with damage not unlike some from this week's quake.

A

t 8:29 a.m. on Nov. 30, part of the rock slab underneath the Pacific Ocean 7 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska, shifted, causing a magnitude 7 earthquake. As Anchorage was preparing for the day, the quake ripped apart roads, shattered windows and ruptured water and gas lines in and around the city. While officials are still assessing the damage, the biggest impacts appear to be to infrastructure — there were no reports of deaths caused by the quake.

That’s important because in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, tsunamis can be the most deadly impact of an earthquake: Of the 139 people who died because of a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Alaska in 1964, 124 were killed by tsunamis.

The response to such an event is extensive and wide-ranging: Across the globe, seismometers — instruments that measure tiny ground movements — recorded the earthquake’s signals. Scientists at the Alaska Earthquake Center and elsewhere started piecing together what happened and monitoring the hundreds of aftershocks that followed. Federal officials briefly issued a warning for a tsunami, until the danger passed. Later in the day, the Federal Emergency Management Agency helped coordinate disaster relief efforts, such as opening up shelters for Anchorage residents displaced from their homes.

In some areas, like a road north of Anchorage, the earthquake caused the ground to liquefy and flow out from underneath roadways, collapsing the pavement into jagged chunks. That process, called liquefaction, happens when a quake shakes earth saturated with groundwater and made of a less rigid material than solid rock, like sand or mud.

“It’s very important for us to recognize what areas are prone to liquefaction so that we can either avoid building there, or engineer around it,” said Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, a geology professor at Western Washington University.

A federal program called the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program supports all of those activities and more. Last week, a bill reauthorizing the program — bolstering support for it in the future — landed on President Donald Trump’s desk after both the Senate and the House passed it.

The bill was co-sponsored by several Western lawmakers, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. Congress’ explicit directive to fund the earthquake program expired in 2009; since then, lawmakers have been allocating money for it in a piecemeal fashion, year-by-year. The new bill authorizes Congress to spend millions of dollars over the next five years, including at least $30 million per year to a U.S. Geological Survey program responsible for monitoring earthquakes and developing an earthquake early warning system so sensitive it could issue alerts to communities several seconds before they’re hit by strong shaking. The USGS is rolling out a prototype of the alert system this year, but it’s limited to California, Oregon and Washington, and does not include Alaska.

The legislation also includes a few updates to the 1977 law that created the national earthquake program. One of the most significant revisions, said Michael West, the director of the Alaska Earthquake Center, is the explicit inclusion of tsunamis in federal earthquake assessments. That’s important because in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, tsunamis can be the most deadly impact of an earthquake: Of the 139 people who died because of a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Alaska in 1964, 124 were killed by tsunamis. “If you’re leaving out the tsunami risk, you are short-selling those areas,” West said.

The relatively small impact of Friday’s earthquake stems from a history of preparation: Experts praised Anchorage’s building codes, which were bolstered after the 1964 quake, for the lack of widespread building collapse. Still, the region sustained extensive damage to infrastructure and roads, which the USGS estimates could cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to fix.

Alaska will still be dealing with the aftermath of the quake — and preparing for the next one — long after the attention of the nation and its lawmakers has moved on.

“That’s where legislation helps,” West said. “It says, ‘Hey, let’s keep this on the radar so we’re ready, or as prepared as we can be.’”

The Unicorn of the Cascades

By Jim Anderson

W

— PETER ESHERICK “While I’ve been hiking up to the saddle on Three Fingered Jack almost every summer for the last 60+ years, it was only two years ago that I first saw a mountain goat on the mountain, picked out by the sharp eyes of my granddaughter, Camila. We weren’t sure at the time what we were seeing, which led to a spirited debate about whether those white specks in the distance were polar bears, goats, sheep or best of all, unicorns! So of course, we consulted the local expert and, of course, Jim set us straight. ‘Mountain goats,’ he said…adding, ‘but then again…’

“Now, each year when we hike up there we are always on the lookout for mountain goats or unicorns, always hoping to get a close enough look to be able to tell for sure. So this

time around my daughter Katrina and I got up early one Wednesday in July (too early for grandkids!) and made the hike to Canyon Creek Meadows and up to the saddle. Over to our right about 300 yards away, we could make out 12 mountain goats: nine adults and three babies!

“With that success we decided to take visiting friends up the next Saturday. I had carried my long lens and big camera all the way up there and I was not going to be deterred, so back we went the following Wednesday, making sure to get an early start. We got to the moraine over the ice lake about 9 a.m. and scouted around: not a mountain goat in sight!

Dang!

“Well, maybe they’re on the other side again, I thought, so I continued on up towards the saddle while Katrina held back with some phony complaint about her feet hurting. Just as I came around a tree on the last knoll before the saddle, bang! There they were! Five mountain goats quietly grazing and just laying around, no more than 70 yards away!

“So I fired off a bunch of photos with the my 500mm zoom and contemplated getting closer. I figured it might not be wise to continue on the trail which would have put me 10 feet below a goat who could have easily knock me full off the mountain with one head butt, so I waited until he’d had enough of watching me and he wandered off.

“That let me continue up along the trail obscured from sight of the other goats. Popping over the moraine ridge a few minutes later I was now only about 20 yards away from a… goat…? Or was it a…a…unicorn! True to Camila’s initial observations, I had found the unicorn! (Or, as her brother Samuel more correctly identifies it, a unihorn.)

“This fellow had one broken horn, but he seemed to be proud of it, so he posed for me for 10 minutes before wandering off to join the

VOLUME 22 ISSUE 49 / DECEMBER 6, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ow! A “unicone” on the cover of last week’s Source, and no one told me! The subject of unicorns has been discussed and dissected ad nauseam—but last summer, a pal from Camp Sherman sent me photographic proof of another creature: a living “unihorn.”

Most of us know the unicorn is a legendary creature, described since antiquity as a ponylike beast with a single long, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. It was depicted in ancient seals of the Indus Valley people and is described by various ancient writers, including Ctesias, Strabo, Pliny the Younger and Aelian. Even the Bible describes such an animal.

Psalms 92:10 talks about a one-horned animal: “But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: It shall be anointed with fresh oil.”

In Deuteronomy 33:17, things get a little more interesting: “His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

In encyclopedias, its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness. In medieval and Renaissance times, the tusk of the narwhal was sometimes sold as unicorn horn. (And so began the slaughter of elephants and rhinos, still going on today.)

But here’s what the finder of Oregon’s “unihorn,” Peter Esherick, has to say about his lifetime adventure searching for it/them:

"Unicone" by Dennis McGregor from last week's cover.

rest of his clan. I could probably go on, but as a good friend has said on occasion, ‘I’ve already told you more than I know. But we’ll be back next summer and continue the observations.

See ya’ up there!’”

In closing, in recent research, I was amazed to find unicone’s horns—like the one seen on last week’s cover—are available in most grocery stores. If you see a live unicone, please don’t shoot it. Be warned though, most cones found in stores are not “organic.” However, I understand, if stuffed with ice cream they are delicious.

2019 Forecast Predicts Tougher Market for Buyers and Sellers Price growth expected to continue at moderate pace

ccording to a recent economic research release from Realtor.com, 2019 is expected to be more difficult for both buyers and sellers.

Mortgage rates in 2019 are expected to average 5.3 percent and reach 5.5 percent by the end of the year. This alone will make the average home purchase more expensive by 8 percent over 2018. Prices are expected to increase only 2.2 percent nationally and inventory is expected to increase by 7 percent.

The report states that a buyer’s market is not expected over the next five years because most of the inventory increases will be in the mid to higher price ranges instead of entry level housing, further

postponing first time buyer home purchases.

This scenario might seem ideal for sellers, but there will be pressure for concessions and lower prices and we are already seeing this with some local builders. The report says that median priced homes are expected to take longer to sell and will not experience the price jumps of recent prior years.

While this is a national report, it does show the predicted statistics for many cities including the Portland metro area. The statistics for Portland show an expected decline in sales growth by 1.6 percent and price growth of 5 percent for 2019.

Coming to the Deschutes Convention Center TH

JANUARY 12 , 2019

Each of us gets into the holiday spirit in our own special way. Some of us build gingerbread houses; some of us build gingerbread psychiatric hospitals.

To understand how you can long for human connection and (ugh!) long to avoid it at the very same time, it helps to understand the mechanics of loneliness— the pain we feel when we’re disconnected from others. Like other emotions, loneliness is “adaptive,” meaning it has a function. It most likely evolved to motivate ancestral humans to behave in ways that would help them survive and mate. (Survival in the harsh ancestral environment would have been strongly connected with social bonds, and mating without a partner tends to be a bust for those of us who are not aphids or slime mold.)

The problem is, our psychology is complex, and work orders laid out for us by different emotional adaptations— different functional feelings—sometimes conflict. For example, the sadness that comes with loneliness is also motivating—only it can motivate you to lie facedown on the couch.

This probably seems anything but useful, but psychiatrist and evolutionary psychologist Randolph Nesse explains that the slowing down in energy that’s a partner to sadness gives us time to examine our behavior, figure out whether we might do better with different tactics, and, if so, change our MO. It is important to take stock like this—to a point. But if you remind yourself of the evolved job of emotions, you’ll see that it’s sometimes in your interest to override them. In short, you can do your sadness homework without making your loneliness worse by spending your entire holiday mumbling into the throw pillows.

Tell your besties that you could use some cheering up, and give yourself an emotional work assignment: going to a minimum of three parties over the holidays where groups of your friends

Crushin’ Roulette

I’m a 32-year-old guy with a really great female friend. We talk Amy Alkon on the phone, grab food, etc. She even kept me company in the hospital after I got into a motorcycle accident. I’ve started falling for her, and I want to ask her out, but I’m afraid of losing her friendship.

—Conflicted

It’s just a bit of a twist on the friendship ring. You’d like to give her a friendship penis. Risk researchers find that decision-making in the face of uncertainty—when we can’t be sure of what the outcome will be—is really hard for us. However, by plugging in all the information we have, positive and negative, we can make an educated prediction about how things are likely to turn out— and whether we can afford the loss if our effort is a bust.

For example, if you have only one friend and if you’re pretty sure you could never make another—say, because you live on one of those tiny desert islands in a New Yorker cartoon—you might decide it’d be too costly for you to risk saying something. And if, on a scale from 1 to 10, your friend is a 9.2 and you’re more on the bridge troll end of the spectrum (in both looks and career prospects), your chances of romance with her might be pretty slim. (“Shrek” is not a documentary.)

If, after weighing the pros and cons, you decide to ask this woman out, you could simply say, “I’d like to take you on a date. Would you be interested in that?” Yes, it’s possible that doing this would tank your friendship, but chances are, you’d just act a little weird around her for a while. Then again, if you said nothing and constantly agonized over wanting her, you might also end up acting all weird—in ways that would make continuing your friendship impossible.

(Okay, so she’s not into you, but maybe if you send her yet another love poem written in your own blood...)

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A blogger on Tumblr named Ffsshh composed a set of guidelines that I think will be apt and useful for you to draw on in the coming weeks. Please study these suggestions and adapt them for your healing process.

“Draw stick figures. Sing off-key. Write bad poems.

Sew ugly clothes. Run slowly. Flirt clumsily. Play video games on ‘easy.’ OK? You do not need to be good at something to enjoy it. Sometimes talent is overrated. Do things you like doing just because you like doing them. It’s OK to suck.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian athlete Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player who ever lived. He was also the first to become a billionaire. But when he was growing up, he didn’t foresee the glory that awaited him. For example, in high school he took a home economics class so as to acquire cooking abilities. Why? He imagined that as an adult he might have to prepare all of his own meals. His ears were so huge and ungainly, he reasoned, that no woman would want to be his wife. So the bad news was that he suffered from a delusion.

The good news was that because of his delusion, he learned a useful skill.

I foresee a similar progression for you, Aquarius.

Something you did that was motivated by misguided or irrelevant ideas may yield positive results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Bible does not say that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute or even a “sinner.” There’s no mention of her sexual proclivities at all. Delusional ideas about her arose in the Middle Ages, instigated by priests who confused her with other women in the Bible. The truth is that the Bible names her as a key ally to Christ, and the crucial witness to his resurrection. Fortunately, a number of scholars and church leaders have in recent years been working to correct her reputation. I invite you to be motivated and inspired by this transformation as you take steps to adjust and polish your own image during the coming weeks.

It’s time to get your public and private selves into closer alignment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When I write a horoscope for you, I focus on one or two questions because I don’t have room to cover every single aspect of your life. The theme I’ve chosen this time may seem a bit impractical, but if you take it to heart, I guarantee you it will have practical benefits. It comes from Italian author Umberto Eco. He wrote, “Perhaps the mission of those who love humanity is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.” I swear to you, Aries, that if you laugh at the truth and make the truth laugh in the coming days, you will be guided to do all the right and necessary things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have a cosmic mandate and a poetic license to stir up far more erotic fantasies than usual. It’ll be healthy for you to unleash many new thoughts about sexual experiments that would be fun to try and novel feelings you’d like to explore and people whose naked flesh you’d be interested to experience sliding and gliding against yours. But please note that the cosmic mandate and poetic license do not necessarily ex-

tend to you acting out your fantasies. The important thing is to let your imagination run wild. That will catalyze a psychic healing you didn’t even realize you needed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In my continuing efforts to help you want what you need and need what you want, I’ve collected four wise quotes that address your looming opportunities. 1. “What are you willing to give up, in order to become who you really need to be?” —author Elizabeth Gilbert 2. “Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from.” —Rebecca Solnit 3. “You enter the extraordinary by way of the ordinary.” ―Frederick Buechner 4. “Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” ―Nathaniel Hawthorne

51

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’ve called on author Robert Heinlein to provide your horoscope.

According to my astrological analysis, his insights are exactly what you need to focus on right now. “Do not confuse ‘duty’ with what other people expect of you,” he wrote. “They are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect. But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible.”

2019

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What does “beauty” mean to you? What sights, sounds, images, qualities, thoughts, and behavior do you regard as beautiful? Whatever your answers might be to those questions right now, I suggest you expand and deepen your definitions in the coming weeks. You’re at a perfect pivot point to invite more gorgeous, lyrical grace into your life; to seek out more elegance and charm and artistry; to cultivate more alluring, delightful magic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know the expiration dates that appear on the labels of the prescription drugs you buy? They don’t mean that the drugs lose their potency after that date. In fact, most drugs are still quite effective for at least another ten years. Let’s use this fact as a metaphor for a certain resource or influence in your life that you fear is used up or defunct. I’m guessing it still has a lot to offer you, although you will have to shift your thinking in order to make its reserves fully available.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran rapper Eminem is renowned for his verbal skill. It may be best exemplified in his song “Rap God,” in which he delivers 1,560 words in six minutes and four seconds, or 4.28 words per second. In one stretch, he crams in 97 words in 15 seconds, achieving a pace of 6.5 words per second. I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will also be unusually adept at using words, although your forte will be potent profundity rather than sheer speed. I encourage you to prepare by making a list of the situations where your enhanced powers of persuasion will be most useful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In May of 1883, the newly built Brooklyn Bridge opened for traffic. Spanning the East River to link Manhattan and Brooklyn, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. But almost immediately people spread rumors that it was unstable. There was a growing fear that it might even crumble and fall. That’s when charismatic showman P. T. Barnum stepped in. He arranged to march 21 elephants across the bridge. There was no collapse, and so the rumors quickly died. I regard the coming weeks as a time when you should take inspiration from Barnum.

Provide proof that will dispel gossipy doubt. Drive away superstitious fear with dramatic gestures.

Demonstrate how strong and viable your improvements really are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Robert Louis Stevenson published his gothic novel Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in 1886. It was a bestseller, and quickly got turned into a theatrical production.

In the ensuing 132 years, there have been well over a hundred further adaptations of the story into film and stage productions. Here’s the funny thing about this influential work: Stevenson wrote it fast. It took him three feverish days to get the gist of it, and just another six weeks to revise. Some biographers say he was high on drugs during the initial burst, perhaps cocaine. I suspect you could also produce some robust and interesting creation in the coming weeks, Sagittarius—and you won’t even need cocaine to fuel you.
