To go along with it, new contributor Nick Rosenberger takes a look at the possibility of getting an Asian market in Central Oregon–and what it means to those whose cultural traditions rely on those foods. Chris Williams takes a look at the notion of compostable takeaway items, and in Chow, Brian Yaeger—a donut connoisseur, to be sure—is back with yet another round of reviews of local donuts.

OPINION Jessica Gomez for Oregon Governor, Republican Primary

The Republican primary field for the governor’s seat is decidedly crowded this time around, filled with experienced legislators and newcomers alike. And while many will see the most promise in former state representative (and former House minority leader) Christine Drazan, our support goes toward the type of Republican leader we believe Oregonians can get behind—one who has business acumen, life experience and relatively measured positions on everything from climate change to abortion: Jessica Gomez.

While Drazan is among the polled frontrunners in this race, with plenty of legislative experience, we can’t get past the fact that she was responsible for both Republican walkouts—one during a short session that saw only a handful of bills being passed that session. The walkouts are and will continue to be a stain on her record.

Also among the frontrunners is Bud Pierce, an oncologist who’s focused on more funding for drug treatment programs (no arguments there) and a well-funded public education program (no arguments there, either). As someone who hasn’t held a substantive political office, whether he’s up for the job is unknown—but given that he ran and lost last time around, we feel he’s had his opportunity to sell himself to voters.

Some Republicans are leaning into the primary by going “hard right”—for example, sowing fear about the supposed boogeymen of teaching “equity and race” rather than math and science in schools (we’re looking at you, candidate Marc Thielman). Sure, that might stir up some of the Republican base, but when it comes to actually bringing forward ideas that most Oregonians can sit well with, we see a lot of promise in Gomez, an entrepreneur who founded her own microchip manufacturing company with her husband at the age of 26, not long after experiencing homelessness as a teen in Southern Oregon. Following the leaked Supreme Court opinion on abortion, Gomez was not shy about professing to be pro-choice—not an entirely unheard-of move in a state that has already codified its laws on keeping abortion safe and legal.

Gomez believes climate change is not only real, but that Oregon can do its part by leveraging the state’s tech brain trust—including its universities and tech firms—to develop “exportable technologies that the world can use to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions,” as she described in a questionnaire issued by the Oregon Media Collaborative. On homelessness, she proposes an “assisted living” model to help those with mental health and addiction challenges, similar to what Oregon already has in place for seniors.

Only after that is working, she says, would she support banning street camping. Her support for increased access to bilingual education also wins points with us.

Republicans across the board in this race are advocating for deregulation in the child care industry to help get more child care slots open, and for the repeal of the Corporate Activities Tax that they believe is stymying Oregon’s progress economically. While these are not hills we want to die on in favor of a Republican candidate in a Republican primary, those issues are more in line with the type of “hard right” campaign promises we’d like to see, as opposed to the nonsense about election fraud in Oregon or Critical Race Theory in schools that some feel compelled to trot out this season.

While she’s an outlier and hasn’t polled high, we think Gomez is the type of Republican Oregonians should see more of. Vote Jessica Gomez in the Republican primary for Oregon governor.

Election Day is Tuesday, May 17.

SANITATION AND DISEASE

A sanitary disaster looms in Bend.

Human waste from the homeless is accumulating in all parts of the city. People and pets come in contact with that waste. Disease is spread for lack of toilet and washing facilities. Sanitation is lacking. The underlying causes of the homeless needs to be addressed. But in the meantime we better provide sanitary facilities. We are likely to see third world diseases such as typhus, cholera, and parasite infections right here. Bottom line? We can’t allow people to pee and poop outside.

RE: OREGON GOVERNOR, DEMOCRATIC ENDORSEMENT: TINA KOTEK. OPINION, 5/5

You forgot to mention something that might be of interest to readers right now, especially those of us living in Bend: “In 2021, Kotek was chief sponsor of House Bill 3115, which enshrined in state law the right to camp in public spaces— over pushback in Salem from critics who saw the bill as exporting Portland’s policies to the rest of the state.” - Willamette Week, March 30, 2022 Just thought it might be good to let everyone know about one of Kotek’s more significant “accomplishments.”

—Judi Walthour

HB 3115 and accompanying HB 3124 were both supported by local Republicans--Rep. Zika and Sen Knopp. They were passed to bring Oregon more in line with Federal rulings Martin v. Boise and Blake/ Johnson v. Grants Pass. Both 3115 and 3124 give localities the option to pursue “objectively reasonable” policies in deciding when and if to shut down an encampment on public property. They don’t “enshrine a right to camp in public places” as “concerned voter” maintains.

These bills ensure the right of unhoused individuals to take measures to protect themselves from the elements when no shelter space is available, while preserving the ability of cities to manage public spaces effectively for the benefit of an entire community. When a city can establish grounds for clearing an encampment, it must give a 3-day notice and store personal items of the people who are evicted.

While in agreement with most of the points in the Source endorsement.

I must object, though, to your suggestion that Kotek “get real about reining in any extended emergency powers.” How quickly we forget the path of the pandemic through Central Oregon, killing at the very beginning eight residents of a Bend retirement community and swamping medical capacity for months on end.

Using raw CDC data from an especially lethal period of the pandemic, the state of South Dakota, with virtually no public health measures, saw a mortality rate four times higher than Oregon.

—Foster Fell via bendsource.com

Letter of the Week:

Foster – I agree that public health measures had a welcome effect on our pandemic death rate. What we were getting at in our endorsement, however, is the notion of who gets a say and for how long. Broad emergency powers for one person, that extended over years, did not sit well with a huge portion of Oregon voters, and anyone who takes the governor’s office next will need to address that with those voters.

5 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 19 / MAY 12, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The case against Roe v. Wade has been waging in earnest for at least 45 years. The argument of whether abortion is legal or not can be traced to pre-Revolutionary War in British Common Law. Being 66 years old, I have been listening to this commentary for the majority of my life. Out of all the statements made to overturn the 1973 ruling, I have yet to see or even hear about a plan to provide infrastructure that would support mothers planning to give birth, giving birth and then caring for the child post-partum.

Many women seek abortion because they are not ready, have no support (physically or emotionally) to undergo a pregnancy and/or caring and raising a child.

Since this reality is not a new finding, I would have thought over the past 45 years that standards of care would be in place, in detail, ready to be implemented as soon as Roe was overturned.

I would have thought the factors of sustainability for such a system would be solved and guidelines for the enactment of such a system and a charter drawn up to deal with any necessary revisions to the plan.

Since it is a probability that the decision-making power will become state mandated versus federal; it would be easier to put in place this infrastructure.

I would think there would be an overall “charter” giving structure addressing guidelines, responsibilities, process standards and implementation of a plan. I would also think that 45 years of work on a plan would have been enough time for fine tuning.

If we truly care about these mothers, children and families (who make up and determine what sort of society we live in) then please let us see the plan.

Reproductive health clinics are expecting to see an increase in demand after leaked Supreme Court Documents suggest Roe v. Wade will be overturned

By Jack Harvel Credit Jack Harvel

On May 2 Politico released a draft opinion that revealed the Supreme Court is on track to overturn Roe v.

Wade, a 1973 Supreme Court decision that protected woman’s access to abortion without government restriction. If none of the justices who voted to overturn Roe change their decision, 26 states are poised to either ban or restrict access to abortion, according to The Guttmacher Institute. Oregon removed penalties for abortion in 1969 and in 2017 it became one of the few states to guarantee access to abortion into law.

In neighboring Idaho, a trigger ban criminalizing abortion after six weeks is expected to impact Western states with protected abortion rights. Planned Parenthood, the United States’ largest reproductive health service provider, is anticipating increased demand in every state that hasn’t restricted abortion access.

“We already see patients coming from Texas, just with that happening. People come to Central Oregon for these services for different reasons. Most of the time it’s because they already have a support system here. So, I anticipate we will see people from all over the country,” said Joanna Dennis-Cook, Bend Health Center manager for Planned Parenthood of the Columbia Willamette. “Obviously, we’re more likely to see people from Idaho than what we were already planning on because we’re the closest clinic for a good chunk of Idaho.”

Planned Parenthood data from February showed states surrounding Texas saw a nearly 800% increase in abortion patients from Texas compared to the previous year after the state passed a ban on abortions after six weeks of gestation. Increased demand comes with a set of challenges for Oregon clinics.

The Columbia Willamette branch of Planned Parenthood said it’s expanding the reach of its telehealth services and making sure staff is supported.

“We’ve already been working quite a bit and making sure our staffing levels are really good in anticipation of what’s going to be coming down the road,” Dennis-Cook said. “Just making sure we’re finding ways to support our staff to be prepared for what we anticipate is a pretty decent increase in demand.”

Abortions account for less than 5% of Planned Parenthood services, with most of its resources going to STD testing, providing contraception and cancer screening. Clinics in states that ban or restrict abortion access wouldn’t immediately be restricted from providing reproductive health services, but with a

Planned Parenthood clinics in Oregon, like this one in Bend, expect to see a significant increase in demand for services from Idaho residents if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

state government’s hostility to Planned Parenthood, it’s expected to create burdens that impact the range of Planned Parenthood’s services.

“In 2016, after Trump was elected, all of our health centers saw a dramatic increase from patients for things such as long-acting birth control methods, IUDs, as Planned Parenthood was facing a similar threat of defunding and access issues,” said Kenji Nozaki, Planned Parenthood of Columbia Willamette’s chief of affiliate operations. “Even in Portland, we anticipate an increase of patient volume for all services, not just abortion.”

Idaho passed a bill modeled after the legislation in Texas banning abortion after six weeks. Only 43% of abortions take place in the first six weeks of gestation; 36% occur between seven and nine weeks and 20% after 10 weeks, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Many folks don’t know that they’re pregnant until six weeks,” Nozaki said.

“We expect this to have huge and negative impacts on health risks for pregnant women, greater complications and long-lasting effects for families’ financial considerations.”

Planned Parenthood’s patient navigator program helps connect patients with the health care they need, helping plan travel, overcome financial hurdles or mend any language barriers. It’s a pro-

“We are seeing a desert, so to speak, in Eastern Oregon, many folks in Eastern Oregon would travel to their nearest center, which was in Boise.

Now that that’s no longer an option that’s a huge issue.”

—KENZI NAZAKI

gram Planned Parenthood is strengthening as reproductive care is expected to become more inaccessible for about a third of the country.

“They’re working against the clock, which is why we want to make sure we’re not only open but we’re providing resources and partner resources, information about what the law is, how to ensure that they’re safe, how to connect to a patient navigator or similar program so that they understand where they can go to get their needs met,” Nozaki said.

out, services for eastern Oregon, including a clinic, are being considered.

“We are seeing a desert, so to speak, in Eastern Oregon, many folks in Eastern Oregon would travel to their nearest center, which was in Boise. Now that that’s no longer an option that’s a huge issue,” Nozaki said. “So, we are talking to our partners, we’re reviewing the map, we’re making lots of considerations and we’re exploring all sorts of options to make sure that there’s care there.”

Code Changes Changing

The Bend City Council is sending proposed shelter code changes back to staff after a raucous public hearing

By Jack Harvel

Over 100 people showed up for the City’s first in-person council meeting since the pandemic began. Over 30 people spoke during public comment on potential code changes, with a majority signaling opposition to some or all of the proposed changes.

The day after the meeting, the Homeless Leadership Coalition released its Point in Time Count , showing a 17% increase in homelessness over the last year, bringing the total number to 1,286 people who reported experiencing homelessness in Central Oregon on the day of the count, on Jan. 24, 2022. The survey showed

the number of homeless children doubled, from 111 to 223. More households, adults and unaccompanied children experienced homelessness in 2021, while fewer veterans and unaccompanied 18-24-year-olds didn’t have a place to stay.

Russell Resigns

Bend’s first elected mayor since the 1920s will bow out of the position seven months early

he Bend City Council delayed a vote on controversial shelter code amendments at its regular meeting on May 4. If adopted the amendments would have loosened restrictions on where shelters can be placed, in accordance with 2021’s House Bill 2006 that eased zoning requirements for homeless shelters.

The City has struggled to find places to site a managed camp over the past year, with attempts to site facilities on both Ninth Street and Juniper Ridge failing after intense public feedback. The code changes are no less controversial, and public comment lasted over an hour and a half at the City’s first in-person council meeting that welcomed visitors since the pandemic began.

The code changes proposed set guidelines for group shelters (multiple beds in one room), multi-room shelters (shelters with rooms for individuals or small groups), outdoor shelters (tiny home villages and supervised tent villages), temporary shelters (group, multi-room or outdoor shelters approved for 180 days or less) and hardship housing (RVs parking in residential areas).

The City Council suggested staff scrap hardship housing, provide 24-hour on-site management of shelters — either by shelter staff or potentially resident designees — and to include neighborhood associations as part of the notification process. Outdoor shelters in residential areas are limited to public institutions like churches under the proposed code.

Western cities don’t have the ability to evict homeless people camping in the street unless there’s adequate shelter capacity, a decision affirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court through the court case Martin v. Boise.

The City Council will have a work session on a possible camping ordinance on June 15.

end Mayor Sally Russell announced she’s resigning from the position after the Bend City Council’s next regular meeting May 18. Russell already said she wouldn’t seek reelection at an April 14 press conference, but is opting to leave before her term expires at the end of December, citing exhaustion after several tumultuous years in government.

“My job as Mayor has affected me and my family in numerous ways, as we have — just like you — navigated such huge social, environmental and economic pressures and the effects of a pandemic. Fires, smoke, heat domes, homelessness,” Russell wrote.

“So many historic changes in such a short time. I am simply exhausted. It is in my own — and my family’s — best interest to leave at the conclusion of May’s Council meetings.”

Russell assumed the role in 2018 after six years as a city councilor, becoming Bend’s first woman mayor and first directly elected mayor since 1923. Three people have already announced they intend to run for the position in the November election: Bend City Councilor Melanie Kebler, former Bend City Councilor Chris Piper and the President of the social justice group Central Oregon Peacekeepers, Luke Richter.

Russell’s acted as a moderate in her decades-long stint in local government, first on the liberal end of a conservative City Council and now as a moderate to a largely progressive one. She pointed to accomplishments in passing the 2020 transportation bond and fostering development in Bend’s central district.

There have also been controversies during Russell’s tenure.

She’s gotten backlash for advocating for the appointment of Chris Piper to the City Council seat she vacated to become mayor, and for her response to a 2020 protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement detaining two local men.

The vacated seat must be filled by the City Council within 30 days of her resignation. Bend’s charter says city councilors must be considered first, but if all decline the position, anyone living in Bend can be appointed.

Voters will decide the next mayor this November; Russell hasn’t endorsed anyone for the role yet, but every other City Councilor came out in support of Kebler last month.

Russell thanked city employees and the community of Bend in the press release, and wished the city council luck in the future.

“Every person in our community needs your strong leadership more than ever,” she wrote.

Without access to an Asian market, Bend’s AAPI communities left out of the picture

Bend’s Missing Link

Courtesy Unsplash

Multicolored packages plastered with dozens of languages from Indonesian to Korean to Arabic burst from the shelves of the Sunrise Asian Food Market in Eugene, Oregon, as shoppers squeeze by, arms full of vegetables and groceries. This is just another day for a cultural epicenter supplying ingredients and foods that can’t be found anywhere else.

For many who identify as Asian, Sunrise is a refuge from chain grocers that often stuff an entire continent’s worth of ethnicities into a single “Asian” aisle. It offers an opportunity to find ingredients like coconut milk, shrimp paste, palm sugar and fish sauce—essential to food from a continent that stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to the outstretched fingers of Indonesia.

But in Bend, a city of roughly 100,000, this opportunity does not exist. Within the city, and even across Central Oregon, there are zero Asian markets or international grocers. Without access to these cultural hubs, a vast number of cultures and diverse heritages are left in the dark and forced to find difficult or burdensome workarounds.

“It’s a culture shock,” said Sophin Zoé Pruong-McCreery, a Khmer-American who formerly worked for a grocer and moved to Bend from Southern California.

As Khmer, Pruong-McCreery traces her ancestry to the Angkorian Empire and indigenous Cambodia.

Access to culturally-specific foods and ingredients is the baseline that ties many communities together — flavors that lace together the foundation of cultural or ethnic identities. Yet, despite the importance of culturally appropriate food and ingredients, Asian and Pacific Islander communities in Bend are forced to live without access to some of the most basic ingredients.

Vietnamese community members will struggle to find Trung Nguyên coffee, with its strong and ambitious flavors, while Korean kimbap or jajangmyeon is missing from the aisles of chain grocers like Safeway, Albertsons and WinCo. Chinese Gai Lan or Gai Choy?

Forget about it.

“Food is such a big part of culture,” Pruong-McCreery said. In Cambodian culture you don’t greet people by saying hello but instead ask if they’ve eaten, she said. “That’s like the first thing you ask a person when they walk in the door.”

Maloley said as an independent grocery store, they can source directly from various retailers and have things shipped directly to them, which puts them at an advantage over other grocery retailers in the area. She said they also try to empower employees to find things customers are looking for and work to bring them to the market.

“My employees can jump on the internet and reach out to our wholesalers and see if they can bring it in,” she said. “We have that flexibility.”

Workarounds

Yet, when looking at culturally specific food, this question can be difficult. In Bend, often the only place to find some ingredients is through the US Foods Chefs Store on NE Third Street, a wholesale food service warehouse, or Newport Market.

“We try our best to fill the gap,” said Erika Maloley, Newport’s store manager.

However, Newport can only pack so many Asian products on its already full shelves and narrow aisles, with dozens of other cuisines vying for attention.

In areas like Portland, multiple Asian markets compete for customers and help keep groceries at an affordable level. In Bend, the lack of access and competition lets grocers set prices however they see fit.

“The high prices of foods causes some folks to have to go without and may contribute to a kind of food insecurity,” Pruong-McCreery said.

To cope with the lack of access and high cost, many have depended upon a word-of-mouth system where those who happen to be traveling to Portland or Eugene can stop at various Asian markets to bring ingredients and food back to Bend. Much of this occurs through two Facebook groups: Asian and Pacific Islanders of Central Oregon and the Japanese-American Society of Central Oregon.

Pruong-McCreery, a member of APICO, said that after driving the two and a half hours across the Cascade Mountains to Eugene, or the roughly three hours to Portland, “Literally, we will load up the whole car with six months’ worth of Asian products because it’s so much more inexpensive.”

This tactic is common, with many spending an entire day, or multiple days, traveling to larger urban centers such as Portland or Eugene to fill up on supplies.

Jason Barber, whose wife Christy is Burmese, does the six-hour round-trip drive to Beaverton and Tigard three times a year to fill up on Asian groceries.

Barber said they visit H-Mart in Tigard and Fubonn in Portland, along with 99 Ranch, Manila Market or Uwajimaya in Beaverton. When asked what kinds of ingredients the family bought, he said it would be a very long list but included ube jam, rice cakes, Chinese

Community Role

Phil Chi, a GIS Analyst for the U.S. Forest Service and one of the founders of APICO, said the group started around two years ago as a few friends trying to organize grocery trips to Portland or Eugene.

“After the lockdown ended in 2020, I went to Eugene specifically just to go and get stuff,” Chi said. “And I bought a ton of things for people because none of them had been able to get stuff.”

He said he bought the whole shelf out of sesame oil after six or eight people had asked him to pick up supplies from the market.

“But it’s always a challenge finding exactly what people are looking for,” Chi said.

And, without an Asian community center or a grocery store where people can stop by in Central Oregon, it has grown from food to more of a community hub for the local Asian community. But, it’s still a lot about food.

As for starting an Asian market, “I think we’ve really lacked the population to maintain that sort of thing for a long time,” he said, “but I imagine that we’re getting close to a tipping point on that.”

This may be one of the most challenging aspects of starting an Asian market.

Despite the need and desire for an Asian

market, Bend’s demographics have been a stumbling block.

According to 2020 Census data, Bend is 91.3% white alone. Just 1.8% of the population identifies as Asian alone — roughly 1,700 people.

But, this must be taken with a grain of salt. Census numbers get a little hazy when considering people who identify multiple ways, such as for Alm. “It always ends up being kind of a mess for us, because we can see the Asian percentage and we can see the Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander,” Alm said, “but we don’t know how much of us are in the larger percentage that’s two or more.”

Even counting the home cooks of other identities who cook with Asian ingredients, it’s debatable whether this number would bring in a profit for the owners of an Asian market after import fees and transportation costs. Not only this, but anyone interested in starting an Asian market would have to compete with skyrocketing property values in Bend.

According to Alm, there have been multiple attempts to start an Asian market, yet none have found a long-lasting solution.

“There’s so many imperfect solutions that have popped up,” Alm said, “but nothing stuck.”

Alm recalls one successful Asian grocery store in Bend called A&B Market, but the family was only able to make it successful because it was a butcher shop that happened to have Asian groceries.

“The Asian groceries made them absolutely no money,” she said. “So they were doing that mostly as a service to our communities so that we had a place to go.”

The market no longer exists and she said the model is hard to replicate.

“It’s hard to start a store knowing you’re going to operate at a loss on the Asian foods,” she said.

“Not having access to these ingredients directly affects the way that we’re able to come together and experience culture,” Alm said.

Despite this, some think an Asian grocer could be entirely feasible — such as Westenfelt, who was a banker and involved in the finance industry and now works as a business advisor. She said it 100% could work.

“I definitely think the market is there,” she said.

She said the reason so many attempts have failed in the past has been due to poor business management and marketing skills. With the right method, such as Trader Joe’s method of teaching customers how to cook dishes with their ingredients, she said, people could learn and become more comfortable with Asian foods.

This is not a far-fetched idea. Visit Uwajimaya in Portland or Sunrise Market in Eugene and one will run into dozens of shoppers who don’t identify as Asian. Dozens of customers are there, simply curious about a world outside of their own, with a desire to learn and a hunger for the sweet tang of lychee or the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns.

“Having greater access to Asian foods,” Pruong-McCreery said, “benefits all of us.”

Food Container Calculus How do we eliminate single-use containers in our food system? There’s no easy answer.

By Chris Williams Courtesy Unsplash

Food waste in the U.S. is a massive problem, representing an estimated 30-40% of the food supply. The issue is part of larger-scale topics of climate change, pollution and of course, hunger. While the problem is staggering, another piece of waste often goes overlooked: packaging waste.

Many know that tinge of guilt that comes when a restaurant or food cart asks, “Would you like a spoon with that?” while holding a plastic to-go container full of soup stashed in a plastic bag. Often, we just sigh and accept the spoon. But this convenience is adding up. According to a report

by National Geographic, the U.S. uses 100 million plastic utensils every day. During the pandemic, to-go orders spiked by 127%, adding more packaging waste into the equation. Restaurants nationwide account for 78% of all disposable packaging, with all those single-use containers later filling up landfills.

“I realized how much waste there is beyond what you see,” said Walker Sorlie, owner of Green Range LLC, which works to deliver compostable containers and environmentally friendly cleaning supplies across Central Oregon. Observing the local food system gives Sorlie increased insight into addressing problems of waste and the goals of restaurants.

“No one has really mentioned an environmental focus—not yet…

It hasn’t been the biggest reason, but it’s definitely part of the reason.”

While compostable products can represent a shift in the right direction, the word “compostable” itself doesn’t represent a solution.

“Compostability is not the best metric (and certainly not the only metric we should look at) to understand overall sustainability or environmental benefit of a product,” as Udara Bickett, program manager at The Environmental Center in Bend, explained by email. “Because these materials labeled compostable, biodegradable, bio-based, plant-based are relatively new, the research around their compatibility in compost systems and their environmental benefits are evolving.” Bickett discusses the broad challenges of food packaging problems in a series of blog posts on The Environmental Center’s website.

Right now many composting facilities can’t handle the burden of breaking down compostable kitchenware, leading to composting groups asking people not to give them compostable service-ware and studies focusing on different containers’ environmental footprints. Sorlie believes that increasing composting facilities’ ability to break down products can increase the viability of using compostable products. “The compostable products need to be composted.”

In the meantime, there’s yet another option.

“We strongly encourage a shift to reusable service ware, and at the very least assessing the full product life cycle of single-use products,” Bickett explains.

broccoli, long beans, ong choi, Korean chili, miso pastes, black bean paste, “and a list of a hundred other items.”

Barber, who teaches third grade, said he had an adopted student whose parents wanted to allow her to celebrate Lunar New Year, and that he provided them with the necessary ingredients to make the traditional foods because they couldn’t be purchased in Bend.

“If the groceries were available here,” Barber said, “people could celebrate traditions much more easily.”

Li Westenfelt, a business advisor who moved from China to Central Oregon in 2004 and then to Bend in 2013, said she often goes to Portland every other week for groceries and other activities. While substitutes found at chain grocers can help, they all taste slightly different, Westenfelt said.

“A lot of times, especially for people who immigrated here, you miss the flavor that your memory associated with the taste of food,” she said. “Say peppers; say that you find a substitute with what you got but the final dish comes out different than what you remember.”

Rachel Alm, who identifies as Japanese-American, grew up in Hawaii, and whose family owned a grocery store, moved to Oregon to attend the University of Oregon. After graduating, she moved to Bend with a partner who was also Japanese and said it was easier to cope with the lack of an Asian market together.

“When we split up I was like, ‘Oh, I have to be Asian here alone,’” she said. “That’s when it really started to hit me, like, ‘Oh, I don’t have a stockpile of things in my pantry.’”

She soon found APICO and JASCO, which she said have helped.

K

endrick Lamar is back! After announcing his upcoming album, “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers,” Lamar has officially graced the world with his first new song as the lead artist since 2018. Titled “The Heart Part Five,” Lamar accompanied the single with a crazy music video that features deepfakes of several prolific figures like Will Smith, Kanye West, OJ Simpson and more. While visually enticing, it’s also equally terrifying, because deepfakes can be highly dangerous technology.

The song itself samples Marvin Gaye’s “I Want You,” and as usual Lamar goes crazy. There’s talks of the album being a double-sided project, and even a book to accompany the release. We’ll know what this all entails for sure on May 13.

In other news, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to recap some of Central Oregon’s newest releases in a Source Material, so here’s a spring catchup to show off some of what Central Oregon’s musicians have been cooking up over the last couple of months.

“The Innocents” - DRIFT The debut album of Mark Quon and Co. is a soothing and thoughtful grouping of 12 acoustic, soft rock songs, featuring Quon on vocals/acoustic guitar, Terence Neal on harmonies/electric guitar, John Allen on bass, Matthew Fletch on percussion/keyboard, Linda Quon with vocal harmonies and a feature from Patrick Ondrozeck as he plays the organ on the song “Milepost 8.” With hints of The Jayhawks and Wilco, DRIFT takes me back to a different time when acoustic rock was more popularized. With writing that is filled with vivid imagery, all you have to do is sit back and let the album take you on a journey. A good example of this is on the title track and intro, that wonderfully sets the tone for the rest of the album. Don’t miss

DRIFT’s album release party on June 10 at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. “World of Wonder” - Adrien75 This experimental-looping project from Adrien Capozzi will be fully released on May 13. Using Korg Minilogue and Roland SH-01A synthesizers, along with more traditional instrumentation like acoustic guitars, ukulele, violin, vocals and other household items, Capozzi’s new album is huge—both in its length (17 individual tracks) and in the depth of his layering techniques.

While it’s one continuous long mix, Capozzi has separated out moments into individual songs so you can easily listen to your favorite pieces. “World of Wonder” serves as an exploration of chill ambient music that is trippy enough to suck you into different corners of your mind, and soft enough to put you into a deep relaxation.

“Love Is Always a Sneak Attack” Danny Fingers and the Thumbs Danny Fingers doesn’t adhere to any of music’s general rules. On his third album, Mr. Fingers finds himself jumping through many eras and stylings of rock. From moments of dance and techno, groovy R&B, and electronic influences all over, you never really know what the next song will sound like when it comes on. This is a fitting feeling, considering the album’s title. Love can creep up at any moment to surprise you—and so can any Danny Fingers song. The album plays like a musician who is simply out there having fun and letting the music make the decisions for him.

SW: You’ve been a winner in the Source Poetry Contest a number of times. Can you talk a little about how that and any other local opportunities have helped you grow as a poet?

MBE: The Source Poetry Contest in late 2018 was absolutely critical to where I am right now. I first saw a flyer for it on the bulletin board at Looney Bean and thought that a nice little local contest might be the right place Courtesy Finishing Line Press to stick a toe in the water. I had no idea that hundreds of people, some of them many years into successful careers in writing, would enter their work, too! Landing a poem in the top group of that first contest was such a pivotal moment, such a punch in the arm to send me forward with newfound confidence, that I still have the wrinkled-up poster from the doorway of the reading that followed the contest. There might be other big moments that followed and hopefully more in store, but that first time someone outside my tiny circle put one of my poems up into the light for everyone to notice— that’s a high that will always be with me.

SW: What is it about poetry that makes it your chosen medium? Do you have other creative outlets as well? How do they complement each other, if at all?

MBE: There’s a balance that must be achieved in poetry, between striking language and restraint, between the last word of one line and the word that follows at the beginning of the next, between explaining too much and letting the reader’s experience color the result of what they read into your work…it’s a careful dance. Just like any sport or art, nailing that balance feels amazing.

Creativity is the elixir of life, isn’t it? I do a lot of photography and find myself doing closeup work, much like my poems. I also wrote a lot of fiction and essays in college and didn’t delve back into those until very recently. In my MFA program a couple of years ago, I chose some short fiction and lyric essay courses to force myself to open the prose tap back up. I’m sending out a novel manuscript and working on another novel that have both benefitted from touches of poetic language here and there to build scenes and develop characters effectively. We’ll see where those go!

Advance sales of “black bird blue” are available from Finishing Line Press through June 3. Find the collection at finishinglinepress.com/product/blackbird-blue-by-broderick-eaton/.

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 19 / MAY 12, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Back in 2018, Melissa Broderick Eaton was one of the winners in the Source Poetry Contest. With that local encouragement, she says she then leaned into her poetry career, and is now publishing a collection, titled “black bird blue” that is currently in presale. I checked in with Broderick Eaton with the following Q&A, edited lightly for space.

Source Weekly: Give readers a little background about your poetic endeavors up to this point.

Melissa Broderick Eaton: I had been writing on my own for a long time, but not really in a focused way since college. I had just started taking it more seriously and sending work to a couple of literary journals when my college mentor, Mary Oliver, passed away in early 2019. Vowing not to let the gift of her guidance go to waste, I embarked on an MFA in writing, and I began setting aside time to write and sending more submissions out. That first year started with a poem that won a contest with the Oregon Poetry Association and ended with a group of poems that won a peer-judged contest with “Sixfold” magazine. I’m lucky to be in a phenomenal local poetry critique group and they keep me honest and grounded. A poem I recently workshopped with the group, after I made some modifications based on their feedback, landed in the top 10 out of more than 1,500 poems in a contest this spring.

SW: With the launch of this book comes a lot of legwork on your part – promoting the book and so on. Can you describe for people what that looks like?

MBE: These days, poets have to do a lot of the work themselves. It’s harder to find presses and publishing houses that work with poetry because it just doesn’t make them as much money as say, commercial fiction does. The publisher I’m working with has carved out a niche and merchants solely in poetry, and they have a great system of promotion guidance for their poets in the leadup to a book’s release. They advertise for me, and it’s up to me to get copies sold during the presale period. I’m leaning on friends and family, plus social media, and even reaching out to bookstores and libraries to carry my book. These advance sales determine the size of the first print run and what my royalties will be.

SW: What are some of the themes or threads in the collection of poems?

MBE: I strive to draw parallel the human experience and nature, to inspect the similarities and how our finite existence fits into a world with its own rhythms and patterns, with unexpected delights and fleeting beauty.

One’s Your Jam? CHOW Which Jelly-filled donuts from area bakeries are put to the test

By Brian Yaeger Credit to Brian Yaeger

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 19 / MAY 12, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

So much jelly, so little time. Our sweet-tooth team of doughnut devotees takes on the sweet, sticky stuff.

co ur te s

yo

From Berlin’s Berliners to Polish Paczki, fruit-filled fried balls of dough are a hallmark of springtime, owing in large part to the Lenten tradition of clearing out sweets and fats from cupboards. Religious traditions aside, these colorful treats come in a variety of fruit flavors, so for this season’s doughnut roundup, instead of deciding which bakery makes the area’s best jelly doughnuts based on a single offering, we collected two apiece from the five shops that put out racks of jellies.

Ya jelly?

As in roundups past, I mercifully received assistance—and eger a commentary—from six others including young children and rian Y fB young-at-heart adults. The reviews appear generally in order of our consensus of deliciousness in this blind taste-test, but plot twists abound, starting with the fact that the top-scorer and the cellar-dweller both came from the same shop!

The Dough Nut Imagine our collective gasp when we discovered that our favorite jelly doughnut—a raspberry confection with a unique peanut butter glaze for a delightful twist on the PB&J—came alongside the group’s least favorite—a nearly identical doughy pocket of raspberry jelly but topped with powdered sugar—are both the creations of Midtown’s The Dough Nut. These weren’t even sampled side by side, so it’s extra interesting to see how much that peanut butter glaze (an interesting departure from ones that inject a glob of chewy peanut butter or use that powdered peanut butter stuff) enhanced the otherwise humdrum version. $2.25-2.50.

Richard’s Donuts & Pastries The surprises kept rolling when the group discovered that Richard’s lemon-filled was far better received than its cherry-filled. While you never see lemon jelly in the jelly aisle, it’s a sunny staple of the jelly doughnut world. It must be the combo of

sweet and sour. Words like “delightful,” “enjoyable” and “delicious” were tossed out while one comment was simply, “It puts you in a good mood.” By contrast, the cherry jelly version was deemed too sweet and a pale comparison to a cherry pie $2.

Sisters Bakery The haul to Sisters for these tastings always proves worthwhile as the nearly-identical delicacies received nearly identical scores for strong third and fourth place showings. The secret, ostensibly, is the mixed-berry compote found in both the plain-glazed and sugar-topped doughnuts. Both were far less sweet than most and even the latter uses sugar in the vein of finishing salt (or in this case, finishing sugar). When much of the collective jelly matter is artificially colored and flavored corn syrup, the fruit in the center of these shines in center stage. $3 Delish Donuts When faced with options including blueberry, lemon, raspberry and apple, the last two were purchased to have the style’s most popular jelly flavor (raspberry) go head-to-head with an uncommon and unexpected flavor (apple). In both cases, the bites were good but somehow suffered from an abundance of the respective fillings. But the chunks of apples were appreciated. $2.35 Sweetheart Donuts While Sweetheart’s cherry-filled doughnut was met with an altogether tepid reaction across the board (the one better-than-average score was awarded for its fluffiness and custard-like texture in the middle), the visually appealing heart-shaped, blueberry-filled doughnut went over instead like a lead balloon. What it offers in cuteness it lacks in a large-enough center to allow sufficient jelly, so when it’s served astride nine others that sometimes suffered from being stuffed with too much of a good thing, this one wasn’t anyone’s jam. $2.50

Benedict Cumberbatch keeps it Strange.

that feels like the greatest unmade 1990s superhero movie anyone could imagine.

This feels like “The Crow,” “Hellboy,” “Evil Dead II” and “Darkman” all had a baby together in 1993 and kept it in the basement of an abandoned cabin in the woods, releasing it into the world wildeyed and twitching, ready to give some kids nightmares.

Raimi is a director who works on a very specific wavelength and it’s one I’ve loved since the first time I saw “Evil Dead II” in 1991. He speaks to the 12-year-old in me who grew up reading “Goosebumps” and watching “Are You Afraid of the Dark.” Don’t get me wrong,

there are a lot of storytelling problems with “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” but I have a strong feeling I’ll re-watch this Marvel movie more than any other. We needed some horror in the MCU, but I had no idea it would be this, well, strange.

approach to multiple universes by letMINOR MARVEL SPOILERS AHOY As a life-long science fiction and ting horror auteur Sam Raimi pack every comic book nerd, the idea of the multi- frame of the movie with his personality verse hasn’t been new to me since I as a filmmaker. I won’t give away any of was a kid, but Marvel is doubling down the plot other than to say if you haven’t on the concept with Phase Four of the watched “WandaVision,” I would defiMCU. With “Loki,” we got a look at all nitely catch up on that before watching the different variants of the trickster “MoM,” as a huge chunk of the emotiongod across multiple universes. In “Spi- al payoff of the film is based on being der-Man: Far From Home” we got to see familiar with that series.

There’s some bad plotting and diaas many cinematic Spider-Men as we could shake a stick at. Plus, Sony’s “Into logue in the new “Strange,” but what the Spider-Verse” proved that there’s no really worked for me is how spooky, limit to imagination when animation is gross and weird it is. Raimi is responsible for the “Evil Dead” franchise, arguat the forefront.

A few weeks ago, we got a genuine- ably the greatest horror movie trilogy ly mind-blowing multi-versal mind- of all time. He’s also responsible for the f*ck with “Everything Everywhere All Tobey Maguire “Spider-Man” trilogy At Once” which filled the high-con- which produced what is inarguably one cept ideas with heart and characters of the greatest superhero movies of all we deeply cared about. Now, it’s Doc- time, “Spider-Man 2.” So imagine when tor Strange’s turn, which if COVID that filmmaker is given $200 million hadn’t delayed so many release dates, and the directive from Marvel to “get we would have gotten directly after Dis- weird with it.”

Spring Ski Touring

By Chris Williams

Join in on the annual “corn harvest”

Courtesy SELCO Pole Pedal Paddle Via Facebook

Credit Josh Kelley

Spring skiers make their way up the cone at Mt. Bachelor, getting their fill of Central Oregon's infamous corn snow.

CORN SNOW - /kôrn snō/ noun: NORTH AMERICAN noun: corn snow Snow with a rough granular surface resulting from alternate thawing and freezing.

A favored spring time snow type for skiers and snowboarders in the West.

The mechanism of injury for Corn Rash. See severe skin abrasion.

Much has been written about the biking here in Central Oregon, and Bend is widely known as a bicycling destination, but lest you all forget, the skiing and snowboarding opportunities here are excellent. Second winter has arrived, and the recent stack of late spring storms will extend the Annual Corn Harvest in the High Cascades well into the summer. You have read about it in the news, heard about it from your friends, and maybe got a taste of it at this year’s Vertfest at Mt. Bachelor; spring skiing is addictive! The days are longer, access to trailheads easier, the weather warmer and snowpack more stable. Now it’s time to get psyched, gear up, make a plan, and become a Corn Harvest aficionado. If you dream of squiggly lines and love to adventure, ski touring can add an extra month (or three) to your season.

Pro Tip #1: Tune your skis. Sharpen edges, add deeper structure to the base and apply warm temperature wax.

Why is spring skiing so addictive? Gabriel Coler, avalanche forecaster for Central Oregon Avalanche Center, says the answer is the combination of the volcanic chain of mountains and a deep snow pack.

“Our local peaks are seemingly designed for skiing with many long descent options often right off the summit. Our deep maritime snowpack and relatively high elevations mean the snow sticks around through the spring months,” says Coler. “Spring skiing is all about getting up into the alpine terrain, which is often too stormy or inaccessible during the winter months,” he continues. “Skiing on volcanoes is pretty unique—a fact I am reminded of each spring when I run into visitors from around the country. During the spring months, the temperatures warm up and the sun gets stronger, (which) helps the snow melt during the day and then when it refreezes at night, produces great corn skiing.”

Pro Tip #2: Bring skin wax to mitigate your climbing skins from getting wet and refrozen.

Even in the more stable conditions of the spring, Coler is quick to remind people to never let safety guards down while

exploring in the backcountry. “In terms of safety, spring ski touring isn’t any different than any other day of touring,” he says. “Skiers need to anticipate the conditions and plan an appropriate tour to ensure good skiing and avoid avalanches or other hazards. For most of us, this starts by checking the local avalanche bulletin. (Here at) Central Oregon Avalanche Center, we publish forecasts until the end of April, (and) after that it may still be useful as users can read or submit avalanche observations and conditions.”

Pro Tip #3: Sunscreen up early. Reapply often and don’t forget your ears and under the chin.

Chasing corn snow does not require any specific equipment outside of a normal backcountry setup. However, Pete Keane, international mountain guide, says, “One of the most often- overlooked pieces of spring gear is ski crampons. We get a lot of pushback from our guests about the use of (them), but once a skier uses them, they are hooked. They are relatively inexpensive and light.” Spring skiing often lures one up higher in the mountains, in firm or icy conditions.

“They (ski crampons) are not designed to help with making a steeper skin track, they give an uphill traveler more security on a regularly angled skin track with firm conditions,” says Keane. “They can be essential on many tours.”

Pro Tip #4: Bury/hide “end of trip” beers where no one else can find them.

Spanning 260 miles long, Oregon’s Cascade Range covers roughly 17,000 square miles, or about 17% of the state—plenty for both the serious and armchair adventurer to explore.

Roads begin to reopen and trailheads get easier to access, allowing for many more palatable touring options. From easy, from-the-car approaches to multi-day affairs, there is plenty of snow to keep one motivated.

“Broken Top Bowl has the best lines for spring skiing,” Keane said. “With relatively easy access and a large choice of terrain options, it’s easy to get as extreme or mellow, as you want.” For those with bigger aspirations, “two of the more non-standard ski descents in the range are the Lewis and Prouty Headwalls on South Sister. Both of these routes don’t get skied very often, and they are steep and long,” Keane said.

Quick hits: Mt. Bachelor, Tumalo and Broken Top Long day: South or Middle Sister, Mt. Washington or Three Fingered Jack Epic: Sisters Traverse

Is there any event more Bend than the Pole Pedal Paddle? Since 1976 the multi-sport race has displayed the outdoor activities that Bend builds its culture around. In the six-leg race participants ski down Mt. Bachelor, Nordic ski, road bike down from the mountain, run through dirt trails, paddle the Deschutes and cross the finish line in the heart of town at Hayden Homes Amphitheater. The perennial Bend race is back after a two-year absence, ready to welcome outdoor athletes from Central Oregon and beyond.

New to the event this year is the mountain biking option designed for teams that may not have access to Nordic gear or training due to their location. Participants can skip out on the Nordic leg and will ride down Century to Wanoga Sno Park and then ride the dirt trails from there to the Athletic Club of Bend.

There are multiple categories for different team sizes, age and ability levels.

Different prizes will be awarded to the top finishers, including Hydro Flasks or the classic PPP mugs. Those that finish in the top three in the elite categories will receive a cash prize.

A great way to get the kiddos in on the outdoor action is with the MiniPPP, designed for teams of 6 kids aged K-5. This year, due to COVID, there is an option for fifth graders who were registered two years ago to compete in a special race now as seventh graders. The Mini PPP always keeps things interesting with a fresh obstacle course, and new challenges.

As the PPP winds down in the afternoon, another essential Bend event, Bend Brewfest, will get going right across the river. A handful of outdoor events in one day followed by a festival celebrating beer? This could be the most Bend weekend to ever exist.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me,” declares comedian Margaret Cho. I would love for you to summon her level of self-esteem and bravado in the coming weeks. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, you now have the right and duty to boost your self-worth. All of creation is conspiring with you to develop more faith in yourself. And if you do the work to deepen your confidence and self-esteem, there will be an added bonus: a health breakthrough. As spiritual author Caroline Myss says, “Belief in oneself is required for healing.” My prediction: You will rouse an enhanced power to get the soul medicine you need.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to the blogger Artemisiasea, “The grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution. It’s about behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances; making room for what breathes in the presence of the attempt—in the coming-to-be.” I invite you to embrace that wisdom in the coming weeks, Gemini. You won’t be dealing with impossible circumstances, but you may have to navigate your way through fascinating brainteasers and heart riddles. Whatever your destination might turn out to be, enjoy the ride with all the verve you can summon. At least for now, put aside your longing for particular results and instead simply live your life as if it were a magnificent work of art.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It will be in your interest to change more than usual in the coming weeks. I suppose you could wait around passively and scramble to adjust as life flings challenges your way. But the better approach would be to make conscious decisions about how you want to transform. Identify the situations that would most benefit from modification and then initiate the transitions. Rather than depending on fate to provide you with random wakeup calls, choose constructive wake-up calls that are fun and invigorating.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If everyone likes you, it probably means you aren’t saying much,” declared politician Donna Brazile. I suspect you will disprove her theory in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have a lot to say; your communications will be even more interesting than usual. And yet, I also expect you will receive extra respect and appreciation from others. While you may articulate ideas that are challenging to some, you will do so with enough charisma to disarm agitated reactions. A winning combination: expressiveness and approval.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you ever contemplated the beauty of the people and animals you care for and thought, “I would love to give them the strongest blessings I have to give, the smartest love I can express, and the best listening I’m able to provide.” If so, Scorpio, the coming days will be an excellent time to do that.

You will have an extra capacity to offer exceptional gifts that are useful and inspirational. You will be at the peak of your ability to home in on what your beloveds need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian author Madeleine L’Engle told us, “The discoveries don’t come when you’re looking for them.

They come when for some reason you’ve let go conscious control.” That approach isn’t absolutely true, but it may be useful for you to deploy in the coming weeks. I invite you to relinquish at least a modicum of your conscious control. And if zesty discoveries start flowing in, consider relinquishing even a bit more conscious control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Is it a legend or a true story? Scholars disagree about whether Capricorn scientist Isaac Newton really was spurred to formulate the theory of gravity when an apple fell from the tree he was sitting beneath.

This much is certain: Newton lived in the home near the famous apple tree.

And that tree is alive today, 380 years after his birth.

Ripe apples still fall from it. Is there an equivalent landmark or keystone from your own past, Capricorn— where an important insight arose or pivotal event happened? The coming weeks would be a good time to revisit that power spot, at least in your imagination, in quest of fresh inspiration.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Aquarian poet Jack Gilbert devoted himself to soulful beauty. I swooned when I first read his line, “We must unlearn the constellations to see the stars.” I cried for joy when he said, “We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world.” On the other hand, I suspect Jack may have been overly consumed with his pursuit of lyrical moments. His girlfriend Linda Gregg said, “All Jack ever wanted to know was that he was awake—that the trees in bloom were almond trees—and to walk down the road to get breakfast.

He never cared if he was poor or had to sleep on a park bench.” I bring this up, dear Aquarius, hoping you will avoid Gilbert’s lack of attention to practical matters. In the coming weeks, I invite you to be your extravagant, idiosyncratic, interesting self to the max. But also be sure to eat healthy food, engage in pleasurable exercise, and get plenty of rejuvenating sleep—preferably in a comfortable bed rather than on a park bench.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you heard of Virgo adventurer Reinhold Messner? The man is a marvel, and not just because he’s a passionate environmental activist. He was the first mountaineer to reach the top of Mt. Everest alone, as well as the first to ascend Everest without supplemental oxygen. No one before him had ever climbed all 14 of the world’s peaks higher than 26,000 feet. He has transited Greenland and Antarctica without the aid of dog sleds or snowmobiles. He also completed a solo trip across the Gobi Desert. I propose we make Messner your inspirational role model for the next four weeks. You may not achieve history-making triumphs like him, but you could surpass what you assumed were your limits. I trust that you will break at least one of your personal records.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Uberfacts Twitter account informs me that if you were to consume the amount of food equivalent to what a hummingbird eats, you would eat 300 hamburgers or 7,800 cabbages per day. To match the amount of exercise a hummingbird gets while burning all those calories, you’d have to do approximately 37 bazillion jumping jacks. You will never do this, of course. But in the coming weeks, you may be more metaphorically hungry than usual. I predict you will be voracious for new information and novel experiences and fresh ideas. Not 300 hamburgers or 7,800 cabbages’ worth—but still, a lot. My advice: Have fun being insatiably curious and greedy for stimulation. A

very puzzling place. If you’re not willing to be puzzled, you just become a replica of someone else’s mind.” Author Noam Chomsky said that.

It’s useful counsel for you right now. I’ll go even further. I will advise you to relish the healthy pleasures of being both mysterious and mystified. Seek out fertile enigmas and be a fertile enigma yourself. Explore the rejuvenating wisdom of being indefinable and uncategorizable.

truth is through blasphemy,” declared Aries author Flannery O’Connor. I appreciate the cheeky sentiment, but I don’t believe that all truth requires blasphemy. In many cases, rebellion, irreverence, and skepticism may be enough to pry loose hidden and buried information. Outright blasphemy isn’t necessary. What does this have to do with you? Well, I’m hoping you will be feisty and audacious in your quest for interesting truths. As you dig, I invite you to be less than perfectly polite.

Don’t be rude or unkind, of course. Just be charmingly bold.

UNDERSTANDING INTIMACY

By Dr. Jane Guyn

When a partner is intimate with someone else after they’ve promised to be faithful

Dear Devastated, Realizing that your partner has been unfaithful hurts terribly. For many of us, it’s our greatest relationship fear— that our beloved will be intimate with someone else when they’ve promised to be faithful.

It sounds like you and your partner have decided to stay together. I hope that you’re getting professional help from someone to support you as you rebuild trust and intimacy and that your partner has compassion for your situation. It’s terribly difficult to feel sexual when you’ve been hurt like this.

Infidelity is heartbreaking. If you’re like most people, you feel betrayed, abandoned, lied to. You ask questions about why it happened, when it happened, and what they did together. You wonder if your partner thinks about the other person when you’re together.

You may feel sexually inadequate, wondering if the affair partner had some way of being, looking or acting that drew your partner away.

You might want to know absolutely everything and then hate finding out the details. Knowing more can fuel your questions. You may feel obsessed and then exhausted.

Infidelity hits you in the place of your deepest vulnerability. It hits you where you’re most tender. It’s understandable that you don’t feel sexual right now—even with yourself.

In your question you mention that since you found out, you’ve pretty much stopped seeing yourself as a sexual being even though you had a good sex life before all this happened.

I understand how the shock of your partner’s behavior is keeping you from getting turned on. But, your sexual

essence still belongs to you. It’s completely yours—an important part of who you are. And it matters.

Thoughts about the affair can cause you to shut down sexually. You can easily get triggered and find yourself disconnecting from the idea of pleasure.

But, even though it’s so difficult to resolve these feelings, letting your partner’s infidelity rob you of your sacred sexual self is losing twice.

Healing the rupture in your relationship begins with getting help and working to rebuild trust.

But eventually, it’s also important to reclaim your turn on and your openness. As time passes and you begin to feel better, you’ll realize that all sorts of pleasurable touch is healing—including orgasm.

You don’t have to start with something too big. For now, try a little bit of something comfortable. Maybe hold hands or kiss gently.

Join us for a full weekend of fun!

What to do: Look at this experience as the start of your relationship Version 2.0. Some people like to repeat their vows or commitments when they’re ready.

Limit the time you spend discussing the affair so that it doesn’t consume your life together. Perhaps only talk about it during sessions with your therapist. Or, write your thoughts into a journal and share them later.

Lower your sexual expectations as an individual and as a couple, Try some non-threatening intimate touch.

Things like gentle, non-sexual massage can be very healing for both of you. Be sure to tell your partner when you’re feeling triggered and take a break when you’re feeling uncomfortable. Your body needs time to feel safe.

I’m sorry you’re going through this right now. xoxo Dr. Jane PS: The process you go through to heal your relationship needs to include making amends, building trust AND sexual healing. That’s the part that many couples miss. I love the fact that you’re asking me about your experience of being sexual after infidelity.

Release fear in order to fully receive pleasure and connection—despite the betrayal you’ve experienced.

Dear Dr. Jane, Any advice for rebuilding a sexual relationship after infidelity? Even with yourself...

I recently found out that my partner cheated on me. Since I found out, I’ve pretty much stopped seeing myself as a sexual being. Even though we had a good sex life before I found out, now I don’t get turned on or think about sex generally. When my partner tries to initiate with me, my reaction is usually to be caught very off guard, at best, sometimes I lash out at worst. Any advice?

The state of Oregon won’t keep fighting to enforce a first-in-the-nation ban on real estate “love letters” and will pay a Bend real estate group more than $60,000, according to a draft settlement filed in a federal court in Portland.

Chief U.S. District Judge Marco Hernández in March temporarily blocked the enforcement of Oregon’s 2021 ban on Realtors passing messages from buyers to sellers, reasoning that it likely interfered with free speech rights. Hernández still needs to sign off on a draft agreement from attorneys for the state and Bend-based Total Real Estate Group that would permanently end enforcement of the 2021 law.

As part of the draft agreement filed with the court Friday, state attorneys acknowledge that the 2021 law violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Steve Strode, the state real estate commissioner, must post a notice online for a year noting that the commission will not enforce the 2021 law.

The state also agreed to pay Total Real Estate about $62,000 in attorney fees and court costs.

Rep. Mark Meek, a Gladstone Democrat and Realtor who sponsored the now-unenforceable law, told the Capital Chronicle he was disappointed in the ruling and intends to try again to address what he sees as an underlying issue with real estate love letters perpetuating housing discrimination. Meek and other skeptics of the practice believe the use of these letters results in sellers choosing buyers who share their race, religion or family makeup.

Meek, who is now running for the state Senate, said he hopes to find language that balances free speech rights with preventing violations of federal and state laws that prohibit discriminating against homebuyers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, familial status or source of income.

“We’re gonna go back to the drawing board and make sure we get it all correct,” he said. “Definitely the underlying purpose there is necessary, and so we just have to figure out how to navigate that.”
