Interpretation of Tourism Tax Dollars Could Set Precedent

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / DECEMBER 20, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

I

t’s no secret that having an adequate supply of workforce housing is an issue in Central Oregon. When a city such as Bend lacks a sufficient amount of lowto middle-income housing, the economy can suffer. Business owners in the service and hospitality industries can attest: It’s tough to find and retain quality employees when they can’t afford to live here. It’s a problem that government entities have attempted to attack from a number of angles.

A proposal brewing in Multnomah County may offer local officials yet another angle with which to attack the way a lack of affordable housing contributes negatively to economic growth in our area. As reported in Willamette Week last week, officials there are floating a proposal to direct some of the tourism promotion dollars that flow into Travel Portland—the area’s version of Visit Bend—toward the area’s Joint Office of Homeless Services.

According to the Dec. 12 story, “For the past 17 years, a 2.5 percent tax on rental cars and hotel rooms in the county has been used to fund an expansion of the Oregon Convention Center, to finance a Convention Center hotel, and to provide marketing dollars to Travel

Portland, the nonprofit whose job it is to attract tourists.” As of Dec. 12, the story detailed, the City of Portland, Multomah County and Metro were close to settling a deal on the alternative use of the funds.

As the story continued, “While most of the spending in the agreement is viewed as traditional uses of the lodging tax, (Multnomah County Chair Debra) Kafoury has been particularly interested in the unconventional use of the funds to increase spending on homelessness, arguing that it should be a concern for people in the tourism industry.” Hoteliers in Portland routinely complain of “bad street behavior” outside their establishments, the story stated—so putting funds toward supporting the homeless population could help alleviate some of the hoteliers’ concerns.

The notion of an “unconventional use of the funds” is a notion that should be of significance to anyone concerned with the state of the tourism industry in our area. Indeed, homelessness is an issue in Central Oregon, too. But without adequate workforce housing, attracting and retaining workers will continue to plague the tourism industry here.

The City of Bend collects 10.4 percent in transient room taxes from hotels and

vacation rentals. While there’s a more granular breakdown in that 10.4 percent and where it goes, it’s sufficient here to know that of the TRT collected, “Thirty-one and one-fifth percent of total room tax revenues will be used for tourism promotion,” according to City of Bend code 12.05. “Tourism promotion” also includes “tourism-related facilities.”

It’s in that last part—the “tourism-related facilities”—where we see potential. If Portland’s proposal to funnel some funds toward homelessness goes forward, it would stand to reason that a creative interpretation of tourism promotion funds could fly here, too.

Naturally, any proposal of this sort would require significant buy-in from the entities involved in collecting, allocating and spending tourism tax dollars.

The City of Bend and Visit Bend—the entity tasked with spending tourism promotion dollars—would need to seek support from the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association, for one. The fact that ORLA filed suit against the City of Bend last year, alleging that the City’s diversion of some room tax revenues away from tourism

promotion and toward the general fund, in alleged violation of state law, is proof that the Association is a formidable watchdog of the way tourism funds are used.

Studies have shown that neglecting to promote a tourism destination can mean a reduction in revenues for the location in question—so this is not to say that all funds should be used creatively. Still, one way to bolster a sector of the economy—in this case, the lower-income service workforce— could be through building workforce housing with tourism dollars. We’ll be watching Portland’s efforts with interest, to see whether creative interpretations can actually fly.

IN RESPONSE TO, “POWERING THE DREDGE” ON 12/13

The proposal to fund dredging through a franchise fee raises questions about the adequacy of public involvement in recent Mirror Pond processes.

At the recent meeting of the City ad hoc Funding Strategy committee reference was made to meetings at which multiple funding options were assessed with the conclusion that raising the franchise fee was the best option. Did this evaluation include public input? Where can records be accessed? Was consideration given to the regressive nature of this fee and that only a fraction of Bend’s population would bear this expense?

A more fundamental question is whether it is appropriate for the City to fund a dredging project on private lands.

Dredging on private lands is qualitatively different from standard City budgetary categories. Additionally how can City make any commitments for this

Dredging should have a priority ranking determined relative to other budgetary demands. Affordable housing, road repairs, transportation systems, infrastructure updates, regional educational demands are a few with publicized funding deficiencies. The next scheduled process for the biennial budget begins in May, 2019. It would seem that any financial commitments by City council now is putting the cart before the horse. A robust public process is called for before City commits funds for dredging.

The cart should be left in the barn until the road is paved.

The so-called “process” referred to

by Mr. Fuller reached its culmination during the March 18, 2015, Bend City Council meeting. The crowd overflowed into the lobby, and at least 75 percent of those offering public testimony DISAGREED with the “alternative vision,” which would have used up $5 million in State Lottery funds to green light the construction of 4 story condos on the river front. The State Legislature that summer voted against granting these funds. And, on Nov. 9, 2015, the only statistically valid survey ever done on Mirror Pond was published by the City of Bend. It clearly showed that significantly more Bendites favored habitat and a more natural future for Mirror Pond than “iconic views.” With all respect, Mr. Fuller, please review this history; don’t mischaracterize the sentiment of our community; and, please, please, please don’t deny our community the right to participate in public hearings going forward. We have the right to determine how this additional $6 million will be spent, and you have the responsibility to listen to us.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

IN RESPONSE TO, “CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION SHOULD NOT BE PARTISAN—NOR IGNORED LOCALLY” ON 12/5 I’d like to thank The Source for its commitment to action on climate change solutions and also want to shine a light on local efforts currently underway that weren’t included in the article.

In fact, there’s never been a better time for Bendites to get involved! The City and the Council recently committed to fossil fuel reduction goals and the development of a Community Climate Action Plan (Resolution 3044), hired a Sustainability Coordinator and created a Climate Action Steering Committee. The CASC began meeting in April, hosted community working group meetings in October and November, and will launch an online community survey on January 9 for Bend residents to weigh in on potential climate actions that were generated at the working group meetings. I encourage people to visit bendoregon. gov/ccap to learn more and sign up for updates to make sure they stay informed of future opportunities to engage (like the community survey). Speaking as a member of the CASC, the community support and willingness to lead on this issue that I’ve witnessed has been truly inspiring. The Climate Action Plan is set to be completed by Sept. 2019 and I’m eager to see how we come together to harness the talents within Bend’s

c s o l r e A h t o g for n i l a e h o t n i Equine-assisted therapy has emerged turns

Victims of domestic violence can react in many different ways. In the worst scenarios, some turn to drugs or alcohol to cope; others commit suicide as the burden becomes more than they can bear.

Tammy Harty went the opposite route, taking a journey of healing that also helps others.

When Harty—who’s a survivor of domestic violence herself—was 50, she said she was single, unemployed and pregnant—well, her horse Bunny was pregnant, at least. A career counselor suggested getting involved with kids and horses, so she applied to Oregon State University-Cascades’ master of counseling program and got a part-time job and a student loan. She became the oldest person in the cohort, earning her master’s in 2015 with a clinical focus on equine assisted psychotherapy. During her time at OSU, Harty said she worked with kids and veterans in an internship. Today, she owns a “wellness ranch” called Wellness Through Horses.

as a promising intervention for the treatment of trauma and stressor-related disorders, according to a 2017 paper published in Advances in Social Work.

The therapy offers an option for clients whose traumatic experiences may render traditional talk therapies ineffective, the paper’s authors wrote. The paper details how full-size horses are included in some psychotherapeutic settings because of their distinction as large prey animals. In their hypervigilant state, horses provide immediate, yet nonjudgmental feedback to clients about their behavior.

A ranch with a view Driving up to Harty’s 5-acre property in Tumalo, your eyes are filled with panoramic views of the Three Sisters and Broken Top. Turning down the gravel drive, Harty’s horses are seen frolicking in their pastures. Pistol, Harty’s young therapy horse she’s had since he was born, stands next to Cowboy, a Kiger mustang whose parents were born in the wilds of the Steens Mountains. A good friend of Harty’s donated two of her horses to the program when she was diagnosed with

stage four pancreatic cancer. Her friend also went through hospice at the ranch, where she passed away. The horses include Patrick and Nitro, two draft horses named Dan and Duke, Bunny, and Biscuit, a miniature horse Harty said is used mainly for clients who are survivors of domestic violence.

“The miniature horse gives an opportunity to start small,” Harty said. “It’s less intimidating. Often, we start on the other side of the fence and work through fear, to trust the horse and then others.

“It works for kids who’ve experienced trauma as well. It’s a good place to start,” Harty continued.

Harty said she met the former owner of the ranch two years ago, who told her he’d been looking for her—someone to run his equine therapy ranch.

“The old owner turned 60 and had a heart attack and died,” Harty said.

She said the former owner’s nephew inherited all four of his properties and asked her if she wanted to buy one or all of them. Harty purchased her property last October.

The north end of the property was once used as an indoor marijuana growing operation, but it’s since been repurposed into an indoor riding area where clients can do therapy Harty has plans to make a yoga studio with clear siding

so clients can look out at the beauty of the mountains and an area for people to get battlefield acupuncture—a version of acupuncture primarily used on veterans, involving insertion of five semi-permanent needles on the ear.

Clients of the wellness ranch Harty isn’t a turn-and-burn counselor. She only takes one patient at a time and 10 clients total per week. Her patients range from veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, to young children who’ve been bullied at school, to sexual trauma victims.

Harty has unique dual certifications as an equine specialist in mental health and learning as well as a Certification as a mental health professional from the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association and a military designation (military competency and military culture certification) through EAGALA. Many of the people Harty sees are veterans with PTSD. Harty said working with veterans can be frustrating because of the length of time it takes to get them approved to see her. She said one of her clients is a “cash patient,” though she sees him for no cost—even though he tries to pay for his visits.

Harty says Central Oregon has a higher-than-normal veteran population and most of them suffer from PTSD,

A Lifelong Dream

The Jess Ryan Band gears up for a debut album

By Keely Damara

I

Submitted

13 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 51 / DECEMBER 20, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

f you’re a fan of the local live music scene in Bend, you’ve probably seen Jess Ryan drawing an audience at various venues — either solo at open mics, or with her ensemble The Jess Ryan Band. Primarily influenced by alt rock bands of the ‘90s, her band’s sound features blues-drenched lead guitar, groovy bass lines and Ryan’s smoky vocals. We sat down with Ryan to talk about the band’s forthcoming album.

Source Weekly: Tell me about the fundraising effort for your upcoming album.

Jess Ryan: We’re halfway to our goal. My dad sent over 500 bucks towards it, but he’s like, ‘I don’t do this online thing.’ So, he just mailed me a check, so you can’t actually see on Go Fund Me that we’ve reached our halfway point. And we have a little money saved already from shows, but we are exactly at that halfway point.

SW: Is there a hard end date to the campaign?

JR: No. That’s kind of why I chose Go Fund Me over Kickstarter, because I knew that these things take time and I wanted it to be up there so we could have an opportunity to share it with different people and continue to hopefully make more fans who would want to contribute.

SW: What’s the goal?

JR: Our goal is $3,000, and that’s kind of what we figured based on pricing out different studios and considering mastering and manufacturing.

SW: How long has this record been in the making?

JR: I feel like it has been a long time in the making for me just writing songs and refining them and stuff. And then, just moving to Bend five years ago, and then in the last two years/ three years just forming the band — getting these guys together. Yeah, finally we’re just like this unit. It’s like, OK, we have the songs, we have the energy together, it’s time to put it on a record, you know?

SW: What are some of your musical influences?

JR: I think when I’ve really thought about it... because my first response is always like — oh, Ani DiFranco, because I was like 16 and I just found her and fell in love — or 15, that’s right, that angsty age. But for me and a lot of the guys in the band, too, excluding maybe James the guitarist, we listen to a lot of that ‘90s alternative rock, I think that’s the big influence. You know, Alice in Chains and Queens of the Stone Age and Tool, because there’s definitely a little bit of an edge to me and the guys help bring that out.

SW: What were you trying to accomplish forming a full band versus going solo?

JR: You know, I didn’t even actually seek out the band. It just kind of happened. I was playing at open mics around town and it started initially with James Hutchens who plays lead guitar. He came up to me and said, ‘You sound really good—is it OK if I join you on stage and play with you?’ and I was at open mic and I said, ‘Sure, that’s great.’ And so, he

The Jess Ryan Band is using GoFundMe to produce its debut album.

and I started playing together — and then, for the first time in my life, I actually started writing songs with James. I had never written songs with anybody. So, then it was this collaborative piece that was really incredible — it opened new realms of possibility. Because he’s such and incredible musician and my guitar skills are like OK, but I can hear so much more in my head and feel so much more in my soul then I am able to technically play on guitar. So, James will have an idea and then I’ll have these ideas to build on it or sometimes I’ll sing — I can’t even name the notes — I don’t have the language necessarily, but I’ll be like, OK, let’s do this and I’ll try to sing it and he’ll find it really easily. So, we’re writing songs together.

It’s incredible.

So, I started doing that with him and it was sort of just the two of us for a while. I started calling us Jesse James and the audience were the ‘bandits’— so we were Jesse James & The Bandits. We didn’t have any other members so there were no bandits, really. I wanted there to be, just for that namesake (laughs). Eventually this guy Jeff who plays around town, he was like, ‘I want to play drums with you guys, and with me is Josh, who plays bass and we’re kind of like together, so if you get me, you get him,’ — and I was like, OK! Eventually it didn’t work out with Jeff on drums and we had another drummer, but Josh the bassist stuck around. And later we met through the music scene and through other friends and Josh and knowing lots of people in the music community — Patrick jumped on board and now he plays drums with us. And it was kind of like this beautiful, like everything

kind of happened in perfect time, you know.

It started with James and I getting solid and growing comfortable with each other and connecting and exploring new options as collaborators. And then everyone else came on board and contributed with their music and then Andrew on sax came in just a year ago and it was like, wow, OK, here we are.

I wasn’t seeking anything out, but it happened and all of a sudden, I was like, oh my god, this is a band!

SW: Anything you’d like to share about the upcoming album?

JR: I’m just hoping people can relate to it in some way or connect with it and you know, enjoy it. And for me, I mean, I haven’t told this story too often — but it’s a true story. So, for me, when I was in the third grade, I remember walking to school with my older brother and telling him one day, I’m going to put out an album. So, this, for me, has been a lifelong dream. So, it’s so important to me. I want to capture this thing that we’ve created together, and I want to share it with people — and I’m meant to do this.

Photographer discovers community, one stranger at a time

and inspirations. “I think the hunger— the poverty of community has really been the thing to make me look and work for it.” Early on I asked Langlais how he defined community, knowing he had probably been asked that many times—but even after two years’ worth of interviews, the broadness of community still finds ways to stump him.

The direct goal of “ACT” is one that isn’t perfectly defined either—which is something Langlais enjoys. One motive however, is to try and remove stigmas around the idea of community. While on the outside some community events may seem, as Langlais says, “square,” there should be a certain appeal to understanding those around you. Especially in a time where a lot of society has become divided, being able to ignore the

lines drawn in the sand might be beneficial. “If somebody wants me to sign a petition, I want to know about it. I want to know more than your two lines,” Langlais says as he dissects today’s political landscape. “And I think that’s what I want to know about people. I want to know more than your two lines.” Local politics are apparently important to Langlais, as he also just ran for Bend mayor this past election cycle.

“ACT” breeds diversity through the stranger referrals, and its randomness keeps the lens out of Langlais’ hands as a way to not search or focus for anything in particular. This is what helps create that genuine first encounter. “I show up at someone’s house without having ever met them. I often don’t know how old they are, what they look like. Anything.

It’s all pretty fresh and raw.” Langlais has just begun gathering interviews for year three, so he’s excited to be back at it.

At the end of our conversation I brought up how it felt to see a stranger I previously met in passing, and the different things I remembered about our interaction. “I think that stuff really matters,” Langlais responded in true full circle fashion. “I think that’s community. You getting excited about a connection you have with somebody and wanting to share that.”

e’re all searching for something—a purpose, a home, or a group to call our own. That feeling is one that sticks around for most of our lives. Joshua Langlais, of Bend, is trying to help connect those dots for not just us, but himself as well.

Originally from Portland, Maine, Langlais is the creator of “A Community Thread.” The project, one he says isn’t necessarily art, but a people project with various art elements, is a catalog of interviews between Langlais and a complete stranger, usually referred by the previous interviewee. Those artistic elements come in the form of portrait photography, a podcast and the print version of the project itself.

“I was going to be an adventure photographer,” Langlais recalls of his earlier years. “But then I got to photography school and just realized it wasn’t for me.

I was just more interested in people.”

In 2008, Langlais started working on a project titled “I Heart Strangers” in which he photographed strangers for 625 straight days. When he stepped away from that, Langlais felt a creative block for much longer than he would have liked. Then when the idea for “ACT” came, he dove right in. Langlais had only been in Bend for two weeks when he got the idea. “I didn’t know anybody.”

One of the main messages of “ACT” is to help build that sense of community and humanism. Langlais’ interest in the human condition isn’t because he always had an affinity with community, but rather, a lack thereof. “I Heart Strangers and A Community Thread aren’t projects for the people who are satisfied,” Langlais says of his upbringing

al COLA Herd Health Day. Members brought their llamas that needed medical attention to see our local vet, and others would attend just to learn more about llamas,” Holm said. “Every other year I arrange to have vet tech students and teachers from COCC come out for handson experience and educational materials.”

Since she started breeding them in 1996, Holm’s llamas have won countless awards—both as show animals and for their fiber. The awards don’t usually come with cash prizes, but they do

ARTWATCH

Jacob Norris: Painting in the Wild It’s a testament to a community when an artist wants to stay settled in the place they began. For Jacob Norris, his painting began when he was a student at Mountain View High School and he studied with Ken Roth. That relationship proved influential for Norris, who apprenticed with Roth for several years after high school, as well. Roth showed Norris the ins and outs of painting, from stretching canvases to contacting galleries. It was an experience that had a deep impact on Norris and continues to influence his work.

Norris primarily paints using oils on canvas or board and even forays into

influence potential buyers, she says.

Holm says the llamas have inspired her to be more involved in the community and to explore creative projects with llama fiber, including needle felting, wet felting and locker hooking.

Holm sells her framed artwork, in addition to items such as felt-wrapped soaps and crocheted hats, scarves and gloves.

Llama fiber insoles are a big seller, with their natural ability to cushion, warm and absorb moisture.

“I’m a small hobby farm,” Holm says.

While other, larger breeders in the area have more volume, she explains, they mainly “breed and sell,” while her operation is more diverse – and personal.

“When we first moved to Bend, there was a small llama ranch in the neighborhood. I used to walk our dog up the street and I’d always be greeted by these two little babies. I would talk to them.

I ended up acquiring those two, those were my first llamas.”

One of her dams, Jori, is due to deliver a baby, or cria, in May. This will be Jori’s second cria. Her first, Skorcher, was born last spring.

“Moki is the most friendly,” Holm says of her stud llama, who spends most of his time in a pasture separate from the females. Moki has grown accustomed to being haltered and laden with a pack saddle, but that didn’t come easy.

Holm says she starts training by placing an item, like a halter or a blanket, near the animal each day until it gets used to it, before she starts to even touch them with the item. After that, it still takes some distraction, and maybe a promise of oats, to ease the process.

Vixen is the shy one of the bunch.

Only Holm can easily get close to her, and in fact Vixen lets Holm do anything she wants with her, such as putting on a halter or blanket or offering scratches on the back. She’ll even let Holm touch her face and neck, something the others

are usually skittish about. She’s especially timid around anyone else. The females on the property do well together, though they do get jealous when they see one of the herd getting individual attention. “They’re very curious,” Holm explains. “They are so aware. They know exactly where everyone is.”

It’s evident immediately upon meeting Holm that talking about and introducing the animals brings her joy. For our interview, Holm showed me how to ask a llama for a kiss, and how to lead them with a halter line. It was so much more than asking questions and taking notes. In fact, any visit to Ponderosa Pines promises to be a welcoming, well-rounded introduction to the world of llamas.

erri Holm considers the llamas on her three-and-a-quarter-acre Bend ranch to be more pets than livestock. “I like to say they’re somewhere between a cat and a dog,” she says, because while they can’t exactly cuddle in your lap, they’re very social, friendly and loaded with personality.

In addition to providing fiber for individual crafters and commercial mills— including Pendleton Woolen Mills of Pendleton, Ore.—the llamas at Ponderosa Pines Llama Ranch participate in a variety of activities. “For five years I led gourmet lunch and llama hikes at Central Oregon Community College,” Holm says. “Two of the conditioned pack llamas would carry a table, chairs, food and gear. Everyone would take turns leading them.” Her animals have also attended Baby Days at High Desert Ranch in Bend, and Herd Health Days through the Central Oregon Llama Association.

Gifting Kitchen Experiences LITTLE BITES

A study shows that experiences rank higher than material gifts on the joy scale

By Lisa Sipe

“It makes total sense to give experiences rather than dishes and a toaster.”

—MARILEN ROSE Marilen Rose noticed this trend when her friends started getting married. “One friend had a registry where you could gift scuba diving lessons, and I thought it was really cool.” Rose continued, “It makes total sense to give experiences rather than dishes and a toaster.” She looked for places online to gift experiences, but none of them were very good, or they solely focused on weddings. She saw an opportunity.

She built My World Registry, a gift-experience exchange hub for anyone celebrating a life event.

I heard about Bend-based My World Registry through Sharon Balsamo, one of the experience providers. She had just posted her sacred breathwork, magic spells and transformational coaching sessions. I was inspired. I wanted to book an experience to relax during a farm-to-table facial that would heal my dry winter Central Oregon pores, conjure a modern house with lots of

windows overlooking the Sisters using a magic spell, and fill my belly with Indian delights and Asian rolls by learning to cook new foods.

That’s when I saw “cook-for-you, meals for the workweek by Wendee.” It wasn’t as romantic as learning practical magic, but I was working overtime and tired of the same sad refried bean burrito lunch. It was the experience I needed.

Wendee Daniels, known as the Queen of Veggies and the Spice Queen, followed up with me to schedule my in-home experience. I had the option of picking what Daniels would cook and I could even provide recipes, but that sounded exhausting.

I told her, “We love all cuisines.

We’re meat eaters but usually not at every meal. We love being surprised; just cook what you love. If you give us a grocery list, we’re good.” Daniels’ list included vegetables, herbs, spices, chicken thighs and bacon. I shopped at

Lisa Sipe

the grocery store, but if I was tighter on time or sending this as a gift, I would use Instacart, a grocery delivery service that charges $5.99 per order over $10.

Daniels arrived with an apron, a binder of recipes, her own knife and calm energy. She told me her first cooking experience was in high school when she learned to make fresh pasta with a rolling pin, then made it often after school.

In college she read, “Food is Your Best Medicine,” by Henry G. Bieler, M.D. Its message: “Let Food be Thy Medicine and Medicine be Thy Food,” a quote from Hippocrates, inspired her to read food labels and eat organic. That was in 1988 when organic food and reusable containers and bags were very niche.

She earned a Chinese medicine degree and worked in Bend as an acupuncturist and herbalist for a while.

I left Daniels in the kitchen and went to my office to work. The aroma of sizzling bacon and roasted chicken made its way upstairs, and I couldn’t wait to see what she’d made. Three hours later she presented meals I could use to supplement my cooking throughout the week: a savory cole slaw, chicken soup with lots of vegetables, paleo bacon and chive sweet potato biscuits and a pan of roasted root veggies.

Throughout the week those meals made my life easier. For breakfast I ate the roasted root veggies with fried eggs, for lunch, cole slaw and biscuits. The chicken soup found its way into both lunches and dinners. This experience would be a great gift for someone who just got home from the hospital, had a baby, or needed to shake up their meals at home.

Whiskey and Bourbon Winners Announced The Oregon Liquor Control Commission’s second public drawing for rare and limited-edition liquors concluded with 7,663 entries for the opportunity to purchase a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle and the Buffalo Trace Distillery Antique Collection. Entrants were allowed a single entry for each of the 11 products, with no one winning more than one.

Bendite Mathew Hamlin won George T. Stagg bourbon; his odds of winning the chance to purchase this bottle out of the 106 available bottles was 1:72. As an active rare whiskey and bourbon hunter, this isn’t his first rare bottle.

“I’ve established a great relationship with a local liquor store owner and we share a mutual appreciation for whiskey. The store owner values that I drink and share the whiskies they sell to me, as opposed to holding as an investment or for sale in a secondary market,” he said when asked how he finds bottles. “Earlier this month I hosted a tasting for a group of family and friends that are fellow whiskey supporters. That evening I shared 16 of my prized limited release/ rare bottles I purchased from the store.

We had a lot of fun. I think this is a reason why certain bottles are made available to me at times. The owner knows the bottle will be opened, tasted, discussed and cherished. I believe the value of whiskey is the juice itself, not the market price it creates due to its rarity.”

Humble Beet Soup to To-Go Program Eliminates Waste In an ongoing effort to transition from single-use containers, The Humble Beet has introduced a soup to-go program. When you buy soup, it comes in a reusable, durable container with a sealable lid. If you want to bring the container back you receive a full deposit refund, similar to their existing lasagna and casserole program. Soups change on a regular basis. Last week they served swiss potato leek, vegan jackfruit chili and vegan curry tomato soup.

Next month The Humble Beet will be fully transitioning from single containers when they start their deli service to-go program.

ifts are piling up under our Christmas tree in the spirit of giving and spreading joy this holiday season.

But are they spreading as much joy as we think? After a 20-year study, Dr. Thomas Gilovich, a psychology professor at Cornell University, concluded that experiences provide more joy than things. Millennials already get this.

According to a Harris study, millennials think “living a meaningful, happy life is about creating, sharing and capturing memories earned through experiences that span the spectrum of life’s opportunities.”

CRAFT

It’s Awesome Beer Season

By Heidi Howard

E CAL

his “Craft” column is BILITY S still in its infancy, and as KA the resident beer enthusiast-turned-beer writer, I’ve created a rating system to make things interesting.

I’m calling it the Drinkability Scale. It ranges from 1 to 5, 1 being the least drinkable and 5 being the most drinkable. I’m defining drinkability as something many people would enjoy. For instance, while I enjoy a strong barrel-aged stout that’s hot with alcohol, it would be low on my Drinkability Scale because it doesn’t necessarily appeal to the masses. A 5 might be something like Crux’s pilsner. It appeals to many types of beer drinkers and I would recommend it to those just beginning to enjoy beer, and to those who “don’t really like beer.” It might be helpful when deciding what beer to bring to that holiday party!

This is the season I wait for all year. Christmas? New Year? No way! It’s Awesome Beer season—or at least that’s what I call it. Seasonal beers can be rich, spicy or sparkly.

No matter the flavor profile, they tend to be very special beers this time of year. Silver Moon’s Contrarium two-pack is in the mix this year. Both beers started out as a Blonde Ale fermented with Brettanomyces yeast and are on tap at Silver Moon right now. The ale was placed in wine barrels to age. I shared the beers with my husband, a home brewer; my grown son, a man on his way to becoming a true beer geek; my daughter in-law who This is the season I wait for all and is newer to the beer scene. year. Christmas? New Year?

The first bottle we opened No way! It's Awesome Beer was aged in cabernet, syrah and merlot barrels. As I read season—or at lease that's what I call it. Seasonal beers the description on the side can be rich, spicy or sparkly. of the beautiful bottle, I had some concern that a blonde ale would become very muddled with the addition of Brett being aged in a barrel—but I was very wrong. The first thing I noticed as I brought this beer up to take a drink was the strong Brett aroma. I expected a sour puckering, but when I drank it, there was no sour punch. Instead there was a balanced and pleasant tang. The barrel and the lightness of the Brett do not overpower this beer at all. In fact, it lent to its complexity. Well played, Silver Moon!

The second bottle was aged in chardonnay barrels. The Brett aroma still exists on the nose of this beer but isn’t as bold. Compared to the previous bottle, this beer had an even lighter body, much like that of champagne, and very bright.

The flavor was perfection in its simplicity, bringing forward a light woodiness from the barrel and apricot, with a dry finish.

This was my favorite of the two, but only by a slim margin.

Our testing team agreed that these beers are a 5 on the drinkability scale. Between the moderate ABV, the bright flavor and light mouthfeel, they’re sure to appeal to the wine lover and the selective beer drinker alike. Find them at Trailhead Liquor as well as Broken Top Bottle Shop and Silver Moon’s pub.

Into the Spider-Verse explores a welcome new universe

By Jared Rasic 33

With “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” we get something mildly miraculous: a great Spider-Man story combined with groundbreaking visuals, dynamic character work and a completely new take on a world grown a little stale over the years.

Since the character and franchise are now in safe hands, Sony has the chance to branch out with the wall crawler and tell some weirder stories that die-hard fans can truly appreciate. With “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” we get something mildly miraculous: a great Spider-Man story combined with groundbreaking visuals, dynamic character work and a completely new take on a world grown a little stale over the years.

Pardon me nerding out for a second.

In Marvel comics, the characters live in a multi-verse composed of many planets, all slightly different from each other. The heroes and villains we’ve come to know and love live on Earth-616. All the characters from the MCU are on Earth-199999.

In the early 2000s, Marvel relaunched

So many Spiders, so little time.

a bunch of its flagship titles including X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four under the banner of “Ultimate Marvel,” who all lived on Earth-1610.

In 2011, the Ultimate Peter Parker was dead and an Afro-Latino teenager named Miles Morales picked up the mantle. In many ways, Miles became just as memorable and heroic as Peter Parker and showed the black and Latinx communities a superhero that looks like them. Watching Miles Morales step out of the shadow of Peter Parker over the years has been one of the most rewarding reading experiences of my life.

Now, in 2018, we finally have a cinematic Miles Morales. At first, I was disappointed it was going to be animated, but “Into the Spider-Verse” is easily the second-best “Spider-Man” movie of all time (“Spider-Man 2” is untouchable).

The animation is jaw-dropping and

vibrant, the voice acting is impeccable and heartfelt and the story gives us our first look at Morales’ Earth-1610.

“Into the Spider-Verse” is near-perfect for kids, adults and bearded man-children like myself. I laughed, I cried and then I laughed some more. I regretted not having children to show this movie to—and then I was stoked I didn’t have children, so I didn’t have to share it with anyone. I want 50 more movies with Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen and Spider-Ham. This movie is my heart. I hope you see it.

ince 2002, we’ve received six Spider-Man movies of wildly varying qualities, spread out over three separate franchises. First, we had Tobey Maguire’s emo Spider-Man, followed by Andrew Garfield’s spunkier take on the character. When the Marvel Cinematic Universe got its hands on the web slinger, we got Tom Holland’s pitch-perfect portrayal of Peter Parker and the joy of watching him interact with Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark.

Snow Fort/Snow Ball Fight Snowmaggedon

By Nicole Vulcan

Yes, we know that what you’d really like to be doing right now is sending it down your favorite run off Cloudchaser, but with your extended family in tow, remember that, in spite of common local wisdom, there’s more to life than shredding it in the outdoors.

Fortunately, copious snow is still something of a novelty for desert dwellers, visiting Californians and Willamette Valley denizens alike. And I mean, when’s the last time you focused your familial ire toward a good ol’ fashioned snowball fight?!

But since this is Bend and we know that you like all outdoors pursuits to take things to the “next level” level, we looked to the mechanical wizards at Popular Mechanics and the snow geeks at Traditional Mountaineering for some tips on snow fort best practices. So head to the fringes of a local sno-park of your choosing (friendly hint: Dutchman SnoPark is probably the busiest in terms of parking… so…) and follow these suggestions for crafting the ultimate snow fort.

In addition to weekends, tours run on holidays (except Christmas and New Year’s Day) and school vacation days at 10am and 1:30pm.

After a full day outside, why not take a little time for yourself to chill with other adults (or, perhaps, a nice breather for yourself before heading back to a house full of your extended family)?

Creative Wellness Studio is hosting Parents’ Night Out: Hot Chocolate & Craft Night Sat., Dec. 22 from 6-8pm, a fun holiday-themed craft night for kids age 4 to 11. Drop the kids off and go out for an adult beverage, last minute Christmas shopping — the sky’s the limit with two magical hours to yourself.

know where you’re going, you’ll never get there. If your ultimate goal is to have a big snowball fight, just create two independent walls within throwing distance of each other.

–– Use containers that make big bricks, fast.

Sand castle blocks are fine, but also consider storage totes. Pack the snow tight into each brick and lay it on your perimeter. Wetter snow—not powder, works best.

The same goes for snowballs. If the snow is too powdery, take off your gloves and let the snow melt a little in your hands. TraditionalMountaineering.org also recommends tramping on powdery snow with skis or snowshoes to “change the qualities” of powder snow.

A Brush with a Papa Owl

In tales of the great horned owl, Part 2, our columnist recalls nearly losing an ear

By Jim Anderson

In spite of my health and vigor, the owl almost tore my ear off on impact.

flickr.com / Manjith Kainickara

What my pal didn’t warn me about was the behavior of the mom and dad owls. With camera in hand, I climbed through the branches of the old juniper and slowly advanced toward the female sitting low on her nest of sticks.

Great horned owls, when distressed, have an astounding vocabulary. They hoot in many ways and tones, bark, clack their upper and lower beak together loudly, and screech very loudly. As I advanced toward the female, she did all of that and more, while never moving from her position on the nest.

I failed to look around me (which was almost fatal) when I reached that “not one step further” point. I was suddenly hit alongside the head by the male owl who had been watching me advance toward his mate.

The impact was so sudden and violent that I lost my balance and fell over the side of the tree into the limbs. The result was extremely painful and brutal, which at the time I was about 30 years of age and in pretty darn good shape. In spite of my health and vigor, the owl almost tore my ear off on impact. The resulting fall through the stout limbs of the old juniper ripped the clothing from my limbs and torso, leaving large, bleeding holes and gashes.

When I hit the ground it was a relief to just stop moving, but I was horrified to hear laughing

with Great Britain.

A fellow birder came to Central Oregon from England to add local birds to his “Life List”—one of which was the great horned owl. He kept going on and on about the strength and aggressive attitude of the European eagle owl, I suppose trying to impress us.

We sent him up on the top side of that same old fallen juniper to document the new addition to his Life List. He got the same blast alongside the head and almost went down the same hole I made on the side of the tree. His clothing was ripped to shreds, the holes in his body very similar to mine—but his ear was just torn up, not almost off.

When the guy, Alan, stopped moaning, we knew he was still alive—but his wife, Sheila, I feared was in the mood to start another revolution when she shouted, “You Yanks are a bunch of bloody savages! That was me old man you almost killed!”

I made it up to them when we went to Fort Rock to see the Greater sagegrouse. I had them put up their tent right on the edge of the sage grouse lek, so when they woke up the next morning the grouse—birds they dearly wanted to put on their Life List—were strutting just outside the entrance of their tent.

I’ll leave this tale by suggesting you forego your television and cell phones tonight and go outside and enjoy the love-making of those beautiful big owls whooo (pun intended) have been — with good reason—nicknamed “The Tiger of the Air.”

coming from my pal and the other witness of this debacle, my friend, Ed Park.

Both of them — still laughing — came over to help me stand, looking me over.

In the meantime, mother owl stopped hooting and father owl went back to his perch in the adjoining juniper to wait for his next curious — but well-meaning — victim.

I, in turn, was transported to another fellow birder, Dr. Ettinger in Bend, to have my ear sewed back on and all the bleeding holes plugged.

I once watched an adult male great horned owl take a raven right out of the air. The raven was trying to get the owl’s mate off her nest so said raven could get the eggs. The raven had actually perched right next to the owl, croaking at her when suddenly I saw the male come swooping in, almost touching the tops of the sagebrush, wings held in the anti-dihedral, doing a good 40 miles per hour.

A split second before he made contact with the raven—who had leaped into the air—the owl threw his feet up in front of his face and slammed right into the obnoxious raven. Its partner, who had been expecting owl eggs for lunch, took off without looking back.

There’s no honor among thieves.

I can’t impress on you enough the powerful efforts these owls go to in order to protect their children and territory. Unfortunately, or hilariously (depending on your viewpoint of friendship) that particular pair of nesting owls went a long way toward weakening the positive relations the U.S. has

I

once had a sheep-raising pal—one of the Shumway boys—lead me to an active great horned owl pair that was using an old red-tailed hawk’s nest in the top of a juniper that had been blown over near Alfalfa. Telling this tale, you have to realize that old pals have different ways of looking at humor, friendship — and science.

He wanted to show me the owl’s nest to prove they will use a hawk nest, even if the tree has been blown over. The female owl walked all over what was now just a pile of sticks and laid three eggs in them.

Freddie Mac’s Report on Housing Shortages Years of reduced construction still contribute to shortage c/o freddiemac.com

A

ccording to a Freddie Mac Research Report released Dec. 5, the current national housing shortage is about 2.5 million units. After calculating longterm demand, the report concludes that in order to make up for several years of building shortages, the housing market may need to supply more than 1.6 million units per year. Major factors contributing to the shortage are higher development costs and shortages of skilled construction labor.

The report states that the cost of land averages about 23 percent of a home’s building expenses—but that in some markets like the Bay Area or Los

• Make your own rules without landlord restrictions • Down Payment Assistance Available 1

Angeles, it’s 70 percent or more. Factors such as local zoning restrictions on lot sizes, height limitations and regulatory costs make it difficult to build new homes. According to the report, regulatory costs increased by 29 percent from 2011 to 2016.

The Bend housing market has been following the national trend in terms of high land costs, making it difficult to build, coupled with the loss of the construction labor the region experienced before the recession. Despite these impediments, the good news is that new construction volume is increasing—yet not enough to meet the demand.

The response by some women these days to men’s well-intentioned acts must tempt at least a few men to swing entirely in the other direction: “Let’s see...I could open the car door for my date—or start to drive off and let her throw herself across the hood and hang on.”

To these women, chivalry is “benevolent sexism,” affectionate but patronizing sexism -- a way of treating women that suggests they are in need of men’s help and protection. It involves things like opening doors and offering to carry a heavy item for a female colleague and being the one who runs for the car in a downpour—instead of handing the girlfriend the keys and announcing, “I’ll just wait here under the awning!”

Research has found that benevolent sexism can be undermining to women—even leading them to feel less competent at their job. However, complicating things a bit, new research by social psychologists Pelin Gul and Tom R. Kupfer finds that women—including women with strong feminist beliefs—are attracted to men with benevolently sexist attitudes and behaviors despite (!) finding these men “patronizing and undermining.”

The researchers theorize that what women are actually attracted to is the underlying signal of benevolently sexist behavior—that “a man is willing to invest” (in them and any children they might have together).

Frankly, even I engage in benevolent, uh, something or other—like by holding the door open for any person, male or female, coming up to an entrance behind me—simply because it’s nice for one human to look out for another. Or, as my mother would put it, it’s genteel. Ultimately, your best bet is behaving as genteelly as you would if you had no idea about benevolent sexism. Most women will probably appreciate it—even if a few of them say “Thank you...that’s very nice of you!” in language more along the lines of “Screw off, you medieval turd!”

Girls Just Wanna Have Funding?

I’m a 34-year-old man, newly single after a relationship that started in college.

Though I love the work I do running a small nonprofit, I don’t make tons of money. I’m worried that my inability to “provide” in any sort of lavish way will make it hard for me to attract post-college women.

Do I need to win the lottery?

—Making A Difference It is best if the dream date you’re proposing isn’t all in the presentation: “We have reservations tonight at a cozy new hot spot—my studio apartment with the heat that won’t shut off. Dress tropical!”

I do often write about how women evolved to prefer male partners with high status—men with the ability to “provide” (like by being a hotshot spearmeister who regularly brings home the bison, earning others’ respect and loyalty). However, what’s important to note—and what has some bearing on your chances with the ladies—is that Amy Alkon ancestral humans lacked anything resembling “wealth” (portable, conservable assets).

Though no modern woman wants a man who lives paycheck advance to paycheck advance, there’s hope for you—from research on one of the few cultures today in which men aren’t the primary earners.

Political scientist Nechumi Yaffe looked at ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel—a community in which the men spend all day hunched over studying the Torah and the women are the breadwinners.

Yaffe finds that, as in other cultures, the men the ultra-Orthodox women prefer as mates are those who are the best in their “field”—which, in this community, comes out of the level of “religious devotion and piety” the men show. In other words, though men’s status is a vital mating asset across cultures, “how status is achieved may be culturally specific.”

As for you, I’m guessing you don’t work at a nonprofit because you hit your head and forgot to become a cold corporate tool. You’re surely part of a community that shares your beliefs about the importance of making a difference. Chances are, many of the women in your world don’t want some money-worshipping hedge fund buttknuckle.

In other words, to ramp up your status, you need to stand out as a top do-gooder— like by coming up with and implementing innovative ideas to ease people’s suffering and make the world a better place. This should make you extremely attractive to a woman with similar values—the sort who spends time every week beautifying the planet...and not because picking up trash along the highway is a condition of her probation for her DUI.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau advised artists to notice the aspects of their work that critics didn’t like—and then cultivate those precise aspects.

He regarded the disparaged or misconstrued elements as being key to an artist’s uniqueness and originality, even if they were as-yet immature. I’m expanding his suggestion and applying it to all of you Crabs during the next ten months, even if you’re not strictly an artist. Watch carefully what your community seems to misunderstand about the new trends you’re pursuing, and work hard to ripen them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many people

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1891, a 29-year-old British mother named Constance Garnett decided she would study the Russian language and become a translator. She learned fast. During the next forty years, she produced English translations of 71 Russian literary books, including works by Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Turgenev, and Chekhov. Many had never before been rendered in English. I see 2019 as a Constance Garnett-type year for you, Leo. Any late-blooming potential you might possess could enter a period of rapid maturation. Awash in enthusiasm and ambition, you’ll have the power to launch a new phase of development that could animate and motivate you for a long time.

in Iceland write poems, but only a few publish them. There’s even a term for those who put their creations away in a drawer rather than seeking an audience: skúffuskáld, literally translated as “drawer-poet.” Is there a comparable phenomenon in your life, Aquarius? Do you produce some good thing but never share it? Is there a part of you that you’re proud of but keep secret? Is there an aspect of your ongoing adventures that’s meaningful but mostly private? If so, 2019 will be the year you might want to change your mind about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Scientists at Goldsmiths University in London did a study to determine the catchiest pop song ever recorded. After extensive research in which they evaluated an array of factors, they decided that Queen’s “We Are the Champions” is the song that more people love to sing than any other. This triumphant tune happens to be your theme song in 2019. I suggest you learn the lyrics and melody, and sing it once every day. It should help you build on the natural confidence-building influences that will be streaming into your life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Consumer Reports says that between 1975 and 2008, the average number of products for sale in a supermarket rose from about 9,000 to nearly 47,000. The glut is holding steady. Years ago you selected from among three or four brands of soup and shampoo. Nowadays you may be faced with twenty varieties of each. I suspect that 2019 will bring a comparable expansion in some of your life choices, Aries—especially when you’re deciding what to do with your future and who your allies should be. This could be both a problem and a blessing. For best results, opt for choices that have all three of these qualities: fun, usefulness, and meaningfulness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People have been trying to convert ordinary metals into gold since at least 300 AD. At that time, an Egyptian alchemist named Zosimos of Panopolis unsuccessfully mixed sulfur and mercury in the hope of performing such magic. Fourteen centuries later, seminal scientist Isaac Newton also failed in his efforts to produce gold from cheap metal. But now let’s fast forward to twentieth-century chemist Glenn T. Seaborg, a distinguished researcher who won a share of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1951. He and his team did an experiment with bismuth, an element that’s immediately adjacent to lead on the periodical table. By using a particle accelerator, they literally transmuted a small quantity of bismuth into gold.

I propose that we make this your teaching story for 2019. May it inspire you to seek transformations that have never before been possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): United States President Donald Trump wants to build a concrete and fenced wall between Mexico and America, hoping to slow down the flow of immigrants across the border. Meanwhile, twelve Northern African countries are collaborating to build a 4,750-mile-long wall of drought-resistant trees at the border of the Sahara, hoping to stop the desert from swallowing up farmland. During the coming year, I’ll be rooting for you to draw inspiration from the latter, not the former. Erecting new boundaries will be healthy for you—if it’s done out of love and for the sake of your health, not out of fear and divisiveness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): I’ll be bold and predict that 2019 will be a nurturing chapter in your story; a time when you will feel loved and supported to a greater degree than usual; a phase when you will be more at home in your body and more at peace with your fate than you have in a long time. I have chosen an appropriate blessing to bestow upon you, written by the poet Claire Wahmanholm. Speak her words as if they were your own. “On Earth I am held, honeysuckled not just by honeysuckle but by everything—marigolds, bog after bog of small sundews, the cold smell of spruce.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Be very, very careful what you put into that head, because you will never, ever get it out.” This advice is sometimes attributed to sixteenth-century politician and cardinal Thomas Wolsey. Now I’m offering it to you as one of your important themes in 2019. Here’s how you can best take it to heart. First, be extremely discerning about what ideas, theories, and opinions you allow to flow into your imagination. Make sure they’re based on objective facts and make sure they’re good for you. Second, be aggressive about purging old ideas, theories, and opinions from your head, especially if they’re outmoded, unfounded, or toxic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Memorize this quote by author Peter Newton and keep it close to your awareness during the coming months: “No remorse. No if-onlys. Just the alertness of being.”

Here’s another useful maxim, this one from author Mignon McLaughlin: “Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference.” Shall we make it a lucky three mottoes to live by in 2019?

This one’s by author A. A. Milne: “You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Until 1920, most American women didn’t have the right to vote.

For that matter, few had ever been candidates for public office. There were exceptions. In 1866, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the first to seek a seat in Congress. In 1875, Victoria Woodhull ran for president. Susanna Salter became the first woman mayor in 1887. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Sagittarius, 2019 will be a Stanton-Woodhull-Salter type of year for you. You’re likely to be ahead of your time and primed to innovate. You’ll have the courage and resourcefulness necessary to try seemingly unlikely and unprecedented feats, and you’ll have a knack for ushering the future into the present.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Studies show that the best possible solution to the problem of homelessness is to provide cheap or free living spaces for the homeless. Not only is it the most effective way of helping the people involved; in the long run, it’s also the least expensive. Is there a comparable problem in your personal life? A chronic difficulty that you keep putting band-aids on but that never gets much better? I’m happy to inform you that 2019 will be a favorable time to dig down to find deeper, more fundamental solutions; to finally fix a troublesome issue rather than just addressing its symptoms.

Farm Bill Puts Hemp on Par with Other Crops

By Jeremy Dickman

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / DECEMBER 20, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

D

ec. 12 brought historic news for a relatively new and lucrative agricultural market when the House passed the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, informally called “the Farm Bill.” As a result of the Farm Bill, hemp, the non-psychoactive version of the cannabis plant, will be removed from the Controlled Substances list, and federal law will officially recognize it as a traditional, agricultural crop. The Senate approved the law Dec. 11, and the President is expected to sign it into law before the legislative session ends Dec. 21.

This isn’t a huge surprise, and it isn’t going to be much of a change for most hemp farmers in the country. Most U.S. states have legalized production of hemp, thanks to the 2014 Farm Bill’s authorization for states to launch pilot cultivation programs for hemp farmers, if those states so choose. Hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) distillates are shipped all over the country and the world, as most have taken advantage of this loophole to circumvent federal prohibition of hemp. Though frowned upon by the Drug Enforcement Administration, prosecutions by the federal government have been rare. Essentially, so long as cultivators are in compliance with state law, and they harvested and processed a product that didn’t exceed .3 percent THC, they’ve been left alone.

What the 2018 Farm Bill does is remove any concern that hemp farmers, hemp processors and hemp distributors will face the same banking and tax hurdles that marijuana businesses still face. Until now, cautious hemp farmers (and many cannabis attorneys) felt that Internal Revenue Code Section 280(e), the IRS’s restriction on tax deductions for those trafficking in Controlled Substances, still applied to those within the hemp chain of commerce.

In other words, many hemp growers were advised not to deduct the vast majority of business expenses that alfalfa or potato farmers could. Those businesses covered by 280e can only deduct “Cost of Goods Sold” or “COGS” from their gross revenue. Under 280e, the “ordinary and necessary” business expenses that most entrepreneurs deduct from their gross income (depreciation, employee benefits, some salaries, insurance, etc.) would be added back into the gross income of anyone

trafficking in marijuana. This drives the effective tax rate up to 70 or 80 percent.

The alternative was to hope hemp farms would be exempt from 280e in the eyes of an IRS auditor, or a Federal Tax Court judge, based on the Farm Bill’s language.

This was quite a legal risk.

Likewise, many hemp farmers feared losing their bank accounts, and for good reason; most banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation flee in terror if they realize a customer is depositing cash from a pot farm, lest the banks lose their federal charter, or worse, become complicit with defendants in a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act prosecution or lawsuit. In Oregon and Colorado, banks working with marijuana farms were named as co-defendants in RICO civil claims against those marijuana producers. While hemp farms historically have not been the focus of RICO lawsuits or prosecutions, even the potential—due to hemp/CBD being listed on the Controlled Substances list—can cause many banks to deny hemp clients or close their accounts.

With the most recent iteration of the Farm Bill, those fears end for hemp farmers. It’s a seminal moment in American history that was decades in the making.

Locally, outdoor hemp farms have been legal in Deschutes County in Exclusive Farm Use zones for several years, and they’ve faced none of the controversy and political blockades witnessed by marijuana businesses. There is not even any need to apply to the County in order to obtain permission to grow. Even as Sheriff Shane Nelson and some Deschutes rural residents decry the stench of marijuana farms and their impact on livability, they have ignored the fact that hemp smells the same and is almost always grown and harvested outside. Hemp farms are often 30 acres or more. (The maximum-size marijuana canopy is about 1 to 2 acres—all of it indoors.)

Now, even the federal government is telling those outraged neighbors what the farmers themselves wish they could have for four years: We have a right to farm, so deal with it.

The only remaining question is when marijuana farmers—cultivating the same species of plant—get to tell their neighbors the same thing.
