his week’s Opinion piece details our efforts to obtain some relevant water records for our future reporting here in Central Oregon. While we love bringing you info on recreation, restaurants, entertainment and so much more, our news section is where we must place much of our focus to bring you the stories that are most important to your lives.

While it’s often going on behind the scenes, a journalist’s work often hinges on obtaining public records in a timely and orderly fashion. In the records case we now face against Avion Water, we are represented by the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press, a non-profit legal resource which works to “help local journalists and news organizations defend their rights to gather and report the news, gain access to public records and court proceedings, and hold state and local government agencies and officials accountable.”

Thanks to a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, RCFP is able to support local journalists from their offices in five states, including Oregon—states where, as RCFP has found, “important local reporting [is] being routinely stymied, especially by a lack of access to public records and public meetings.” Without access to vital records, you are left without information that may impact your life.

This week’s coverage of news, events, arts, culture, outdoors, nature and so much more isn’t stopping while we work to obtain records in the background— but once in a while, we feel it’s important to share how all that work is being done.

Have a great week!

his week, at least one Oregon media outlet reported on our efforts to obtain records about the top residential water users in Bend, and how Avion Water is blocking that effort in court. Last month, we made public records requests to the City of Bend, the City of Redmond and Avion, asking for information about the top users in each water district. Avion believes it is not the functional equivalent of a public body and thus does not have to supply those records. Under Oregon’s public records law, public bodies and those acting as one must comply with public records requests.

When our request was denied, our team appealed to Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel, who decided in favor of the Source Weekly and ordered Avion to give over the records. Instead, Avion is seeking relief in Deschutes County court.

Avion, as Hummel pointed out in his decision, supplies water to some 8,000 households in Deschutes County and has a franchise agreement with the City of Bend to supply water to new developments that crop up along the east and south sides of town. While it’s a private company, we believe, as does Hummel, that its contract with the City, its oversight by the Oregon Public Utilities Commission and the fact that water is a precious resource in a high desert region mean that its usage records should be available to the public. The city governments of Bend and Redmond complied with our request easily. So why should a private company supplying a basic resource to a large portion of Bend—which also has a contract to supply water to the many more homes that will be built in future years—have the right to deny public oversight of this basic information?

In regard to this matter, the Source Weekly is now represented by the Reporters Committee for the Freedom

of the Press—the same legal resource that is representing The Oregonian newspaper in its battle with the City of the Dalles. There, reporters wanted to know how much water will be used by the data centers being built by Google. Instead of giving up that information, the City of the Dalles is fighting The Oregonian in court, as per the prescribed process to fight a records request in Oregon. Battles like these stand to drain the resources of media outlets whose primary purpose is to keep the public informed about issues that are meaningful to their lives. In spite of our month of rain, this region is still plagued by drought, and who uses the region’s water and how much they use, we believe, is of utmost interest to everyone.

As Bend continues to grow, Avion will continue to grow, too. More homes will be built. More homeowners will pay Avion to supply their water. More water will be drawn from the local aquifers to supply it. A larger and larger proportion of Bend’s residential water will be supplied by an entity that currently is fighting any obligation to provide usage information to the general public. We believe the public has a right to transparency when it comes to water.

For the Source Weekly, what started out as a basic records request has evolved into an inquiry about oversight for this community’s most precious and basic of resources. We take our responsibility to readers and the community in this matter seriously. We are thankful that this issue attracted other likeminded organizations such as the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press. Together we are confident that Central Oregon will continue to have access to vital information, so that collectively we can make good decisions about the resource use that shapes our lives.

GUEST OPINION: BIRD ISN’T THE WORD

running a small business. These businesses pay taxes and create jobs. Finally, I spoke with Tobias Marx who also holds the agreement for Diamond Parking here in Bend. He told me that data shows that the Zagster bikes did well here. I had to explain to him the truth which he did not know because he did not live here when they were in town. The company contracted with our company to maintain these bikes and store the boxed bikes. The whole thing was a nightmare. Junked by people everywhere and dumped in the river. Then Zagster filed bankruptcy and just left them here. Matter of fact, those bikes cost us for storage fees that we were never paid on. I asked if I could speak to the City Council in regard to this but was told no, that he handles the contract.

Truthfully it feels like the City of Bend and Tobias Marx is giving us the Bird!

RE: DESCHUTES COUNTY’S LOWERED TAX RATE BROUGHT A PREDICTABLE OUTCOME: FUTURE DEBT OPINION, 6/2 Future debt is not the predictable outcome of lowering the tax rate in 2018.

Local Government budgets are far more complicated than A results in B. The 2018 adopted budget was 348 pages in length [although some are ‘intentional left blank']. Despite the $0.06 per $1000 property tax reduction, assessed valuation revenue from all sources increased $23.5 million the following year. The Fiscal Year 2022 budget indicates the revenue picture between 2018 & 2022 increased by $119.5 million. Despite the pandemic and every interruption to increased revenue, the proposed budget estimates increased

revenue in the 2023 Fiscal Year of $3.3 million over 2022.

In 2018 Property Tax was 11.4% of total revenues. In 2023 Property Tax is expected to be 9.7% of total revenues.

But over those five years Property Tax is expected to have increased by $7.7 Million.

Interpreting these numbers in local government budgets can strain all of us. Many decisions are made by elected officials within each year’s budget.

Deschutes County made choices in this time period, including to increase the number of employees for example. Since 2018 thru the ‘proposed’ budget for 2023, Total Personnel Services increased over $50 million at almost a 50% increase.

The proposed budget sure looks healthy. A Contingency of $76.4 million and a Reserve for Future Expenditure of $44.3 million. We should not be hearing elected officials calling for property tax increases or telling us about “Future Debt.” If these short paragraphs didn’t put you to sleep, take a look at the Deschutes County 258-page proposed 2023 budget!

I am coming at this in several directions as I work at an electric bike shop downtown. We do sales, service, tours and bike rentals. The rentals are an important part of our revenue during our busy tourist summer. Saturday morning 6/5 I arrived to work to find several Bird bikes parked outside of our location. We have a sign out front that states that we rent ebikes. At that time, I contacted Bird and reached their call center. I explained to them they would need to have their bikes moved. The call center employee stated that she would have the handler in Bend move the bikes to a different location. This did not happen until we were about to close shop for the day. During this same day, I witnessed a woman on a Bird bike riding on the downtown sidewalks dodging pedestrians, three kids that could not be more than 12 whizzing through people without helmets and later that evening another few on Galveston riding against traffic and then hopping onto the sidewalk. Can you imagine the people that will utilize them as they leave bars?

The ebike shops that rent out bikes make sure customers not only sign waivers, are given thorough instructions on how to ride, where to ride and where NOT to ride, but along with that we do not rent to children. If a teenager is accompanied by an adult, they must be 16 and wear a helmet. After renting they return them in great shape back to the store they rented from. Maintaining the bikes as well as safely storing the batteries in a fire safe cabinet is a huge concern. There are 100 bikes in this contract so I would assume double that in batteries for the Bird bikes.

The locally owned ebike shops here in Bend have major investments in bikes, paying high rents in this area and everything else that comes along with

A group of teachers is asking Bend-La Pine Schools to rescind a pandemic-era policy that forbade grading students less than 50%

By Jack Harvel Courtesy of Alliance for Excellent Education via Flickr

I

n December 2020 Bend La Pine Schools implemented a 50% “grading floor” for middle and high schools as students struggled to accommodate to distance learning models. The policy meant students could score no less than 50%, even if they didn’t complete any work. The following spring the school district formed a task force of teachers and administrators to assess grading practices. The policy could become permanent, following a determination by the Superintendent’s office, but many teachers aren’t enthusiastic about it.

An anonymous group of over 100 teachers signed onto a letter sent to BLPS leaders asking them to end the 50% grading floor, saying it contributed to student absenteeism and fewer students turning in assignments. An organizer said the number of signatories rose to over 150 since the mail was sent.

“We understand our goal of equity to meet each student’s diverse learning needs. In a misguided attempt to achieve equity, this policy has masked the challenges struggling students face, not addressed their needs,” the letter said.

The policy is one of many that the task force recommended, and others, such as de-emphasis of homework and strict deadlines, have been less controversial. Proponents of the grading floor argue grading can often be arbitrary, especially for subjects outside of STEM where there’s no single correct answer. It’s also argued that traditional grading scales create an unnecessarily high barrier for students to rebound from one failure.

“Something that we have to consider is our students and their engagement in our classes, and we need to give them avenues and pathways to feel engaged and connected,” said Stephen Duval, director of college and career readiness at BLPS. “The research was loud and clear for us, that when we give students low marks that are almost unrecoverable, that it doesn’t actually motivate them to do better, it pushes them further away.”

The task force wanted to continue the 50% grading floor, but preferred an equal-interval grading scale that’s scored 1-4. Cascade Middle School, Pilot Butte Middle School, Realms High School and Bend Tech Academy already use an equal-interval grading system.

BLPS high schools also have some teachers who’ve opted into equal-interval grading individually.

“Within our high schools Bend High, Mountain View High, Caldera High all have teachers that are using a non-100-point system now,” Duval said.

But some classes such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and dual-credit classes

A grading floor of 50% in the name of equity is controversial with Bend- La Pine teachers.

must remain on a traditional grading system. Switching over to an alternative grading system is much trickier when having to adhere to broader systems.

“This is not in alignment with where I would want students in a first-year composition class at COCC or OSU or U of O. It’s not what I would want them to get accustomed to.”

—COLIN PRICE

“The mathematical justification does make a certain amount of sense,” said Colin Price, who teaches a dual-credit English class at Summit High School, and who signed the letter to school leaders. “What it underscores is that the 100-point scale is kind of busted to begin with, but it’s, I think, having to recognize that this fix is kind of equally broken.”

Since the rule went into place Price said he’s seen in increase in students coasting through work, doing

as little possible to maintain a decent grade. Students can calculate the scores they need to get to maintain grades through BLPS online learning management system, which Price said led to many conversations with students who openly gamed the 50% floor.

“With this rule in place, I had students who didn’t turn in this Capstone research paper (40% of the overall grade), and still were able to pull out a B. I don’t know how this has happened like this, and it does not feel good to me,” Price said. “This is not in alignment with where I would want students in a first-year composition class at COCC or OSU or U of O. It’s not what I would want them to get accustomed to.”

Some teachers do prefer the system, saying it allows students a path toward success after failing, that it makes teachers communicate solutions to students and allows more creativity in forming lessons.

“I honestly feel like the simplification of these standards allows me to be more creative in challenging my higher learners; I don’t think it at all lowers the standard of how to create challenging learning opportunities,” said Katie Lyons, a teacher at Cascade Middle School.

The policy is still considered temporary, and any future determination will have to come from the Superintendent’s office.

Council Fills Vacancies

Bend City Councilors appointed a mental health counselor and a victim advocate to two vacant council seats

Mo Mitchell, at left, a mental health counselor who owns her own private practice, is filling the seat vacated by Gena Goodman-Campbell when she became the mayor. Stephen Sehgal, a lifelong Bendite who works as a victim advocate in the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office will hold the an interim seat on City Council, an office he hopes to win in the November elections.

“My motivation comes with wanting to be a part of this council is to give representation of a diverse community and someone that’s not just diverse based on what I look like, but with my background,” Sehgal said.

Sehgal said his work with law enforcement at the DA’s Office and his degree in economics give him distinct strengths to achieve the City Council’s policy goals. Unlike Mitchell, Sehgal is running for the seat in the November elections. Bend City Councilors Anthony Broadman and Barb Campbell said they’d prefer appointees who aren’t running for the seat to avoid the implication that they’ve potentially helping an individual campaign.

“Last time that the council appointed someone, that person lost when they came to the general election,” Sehgal said. “It doesn’t matter who y’all appoint, not that it’s not very important to continue this year out, but the city is going to decide who’s next no matter what.”

City councilors selected the new councilors via ranked-choice voting. Both interim councilors were the top pick of the majority of city councilors in the first round of voting. A swearing-in ceremony on June 13 formalized the selection, and the new councilors will attend their first regular council meeting on June 15.

Surf’s Back Up

Bend Whitewater Park’s surf wave will be back online with new rules after the tragic death of a 17-year-old surfer

By Jack Harvel

B

end Park and Recreation District plans to reactivate the surf wave at the Bend Whitewater Park on June 18, about six weeks after 17-year-old Ben Murphy became trapped underwater while surfing the wave. That event prompted its closure and an investigation into what caused the incident.

The investigation into the incident suggests Murphy’s foot got stuck in a 2-inch space between the pneumatic gate that shapes the surf wave and a stationary gate. Water levels on April 30 were low, which increased the risk of a surfer touching the bottom of the river or gate system, the investigation concluded. It also noted Murphy’s surf leash, a cord that connects the surfboard

to a surfer’s leg, was marked by black rubber that likely came from the rubber framing around the gate.

BPRD installed “sweepers” on the static block to close the gap between the movable pneumatic gate and stationary gates. Going forward, it prohibits the use of surf leashes at the park and will encourage the use of helmets and personal flotation devices. Several surfers spoke out against the proposed leash ban at BPRD’s board meeting on June 7, arguing it puts people floating downstream at risk of getting hit by loose boards.

The park district said it also plans to add a camera capable of zooming to better monitor the park and respond to emergencies and research upgrades that

could alter waterflow more effectively.

Murphy is the only person to die at the whitewater park since it opened in 2015, but it’s not the first time it’s had to shut down the park for maintenance.

Shortly after opening, the gates had to be repaired, and in 2016 the tubing channel was closed after people reported injuries after flipping their tube.

BPRD said it wasn’t aware that people

had gotten stuck before the incident but have heard anecdotal reports of surfers getting caught since. The park’s reopening depends on the installaton of signage communicating new rules and a review of emergency protocol by Bend Fire. The board of directors will revisit other potential rule changes this summer after monitoring the park’s new leash policy.

he Bend City Council filled two vacant seats at a special meeting on June 9, appointing Mo Mitchell and Stephen Sehgal to seats vacated by former City Councilors Rita Schenkelberg, who resigned, and Gena Goodman Campbell, who City Council appointed to the mayorship after Mayor Sally Russell’s resignation.

Mitchell and Sehgal are two of eight finalists selected by a subcommittee of Bend city councilors. Mitchell is a mental health counselor who owns a private practice in Bend and is a member of the City’s Human Rights and Equity Commission. She said her work in HREC inspired her to apply to council to make equity a priority, and that her time working in Deschutes County Behavioral Health gives her insight in working within systems of government.

“Being on HREC fueled some of my decision to be here today, really learning and understanding and integrating more the need for creating a greater sense of belonging for everybody in this community, not just certain folks,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell said she isn’t expecting to run for a full term this November, but may change her mind if she feels there’s more to contribute. She likened the sixmonth term to an internship to learn more about City processes in case she ever does seek public office.

Sehgal works as a victim advocate in the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office, as a youth football coach at Pilot Butte Middle School and also serves as a board member on HREC. He grew up in Bend and his parents used to own what’s now called the Wall Street Inn. He said he was inspired to run to bring diversity to the council in perspective and representation.

Noticias en Español Un grupo de maestros pide a las Escuelas de Bend-La Pine retirar una política de la era de la pandemia que prohibía calificar a los estudiantes con menos del 50% de la calificación.

Por Jack Harvel / Translated by/Traducido por Jéssica Sánchez-Millar alta para que los estudiantes se puedan recuperar de una falla.

“Algo que tenemos que considerar son nuestros alumnos y su participación en clases, debemos darles las herramientas para que se sientan comprometidos y conectados,” dijo Steven Duval, director para la preparación universitaria y profesional en BLPS. “Los estudios fueron claros, cuando le damos a los estudiantes calificaciones bajas de las cuales difícilmente se pueden recuperar, no les motiva a mejorar, los impulsa a alejarse más.”

El grupo quería continuar con el nivel de calificación del 50%, pero prefirió una escala de calificación de intervalos iguales con un puntaje del 1 a 4. Casdade Middle School, Pilot Butte Middle School, Realms High School y Bend Tech Academy ya utilizan un sistema de calificación de intervalos iguales. Las preparatorias de BLPS también tienen algunos maestros que han optado por la escala de calificación de intervalos iguales.

Algunos maestros prefieren este sistema, indicando que les permite a los estudiantes seguir un camino hacia el éxito después de haber fallado, que permite a los maestros platicar de las soluciones con los estudiantes y que permite que haya mayor creatividad en la elaboración de las clases.

“Honestamente pienso que el simplificar los estándares me permite ser más creativa al desafiar a mis estudiantes con un intelecto estudiantil más alto; no creo que baje en lo absoluto el estándar de cómo crear oportunidades de aprendizaje desafiantes,” dijo Katie Lyons, maestra de Cascade Middle School.

La política aún se considera temporal y cualquier decisión futura deberá venir de la oficina del Superintendente.

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 24 / JUNE 16, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

E

n diciembre del 2020 las escuelas de Bend-La Pine (BLPS) implementaron un “nivel de calificaciones” del 50% para los estudiantes de secundaria (middle school) y preparatoria (high school) ya que los estudiantes batallaron para acostumbrarse al modelo de aprendizaje a distancia. La política indicó que los estudiantes podían sacar no menos del 50% de calificación, incluso aunque no hayan hecho el trabajo. La primavera siguiente, el distrito escolar creó un grupo de maestros y administrativos para evaluar los métodos de calificación. La política podría volverse permanente tras ser determinado por el Superintendente, pero a muchos maestros no les entusiasma la idea.

Un grupo anónimo de más de 100 maestros firmó una carta enviada a líderes de BLPS pidiéndoles terminar con el nivel de calificación del 50%, indicando que contribuía al ausentismo de los estudiantes y que a unos cuantos estudiantes entregaban su trabajo. Un organizador dijo que el número de firmantes subió a más de 150 desde que se envió el correo.

“Entendemos nuestra meta de equidad para satisfacer las diversas necesidades de aprendizaje de cada estudiante. En un intento equivocado de lograr la equidad, esta política ha ocultado los desafíos que enfrentan los estudiantes, sin abarcar sus necesidades,” indicaba la carta.

La política es una de muchas que recomendó el grupo, y otras, como la falta de énfasis en las tareas y fechas de entrega, han sido menos controvertidas. Los partidarios de un nivel de calificación sostienen que a menudo la calificación puede ser arbitraria, especialmente para las materias externas como la Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas en donde no hay una sola respuesta correcta. También sostiene que la escala de calificación tradicional crea una barrera innecesariamente

Water is at the core of life, flows without effort, changes course when necessary and always finds the path of least resistance. It is cold. It is powerful. It is reflective. Walk on the shores. Swim in its depths. Engage in its life-giving power. Observe. Water deserves our praise and our protection. From the clouds and trickling streams to lakes and rock gorging rivers, life would not exist without it. Thought provoking, don’t you think?

Since the beginning of humankind, we have aspired to reach the stars.

Fewer things in life make earth life feel so small as gazing deeply into the universe. Mountains are the terrestrial staircase, and each step puts you closer to the star party. The higher you climb, the further from “the known” you travel. Reach for the higher ground, seek out the remote viewpoint or distant rampart.

The largest Ponderosa Pine ever recorded is more than 500 years old, soars over 160 feet above the ground and is located right here along the banks of the Deschutes River. Oh, if that tree could talk. There is a certain magic that weaves through treetops. Close your eyes and listen. The wind carries whispers from afar, and a multitude of creature languages combine for a symphony of messaging. Central Oregon forest lands offer 1.6 million acres worth of wander-worthy conifers to explore.

Warren Haynes dishes on Mule’s latest album while on the road to Bend

By Isaac Biehl

here’s no shortage of wheelings and dealings when it comes to Gov’t Mule’s discography. The highly skilled crew has tackled just about every inch of rock music in a variety of ways, from its 2004 Pink Floyd live covers album, “Dark Side of the Mule,” to the band’s third and highly beloved album, “Life Before Insanity.” The four-piece, with a current lineup of Warren Haynes (guitar, writing, vocals), Matt Abts (drums), Danny Louis (keyboard, guitar, backing vocals) and Jorgen Carlsson (bass), has finally done something neither Haynes nor Gov’t Mule had ever done before—a traditional blues record.

With “Heavy Load Blues,” a record that had its deluxe version released this April, Haynes can happily check that off of his bucket list.

“During lockdown we made it our mission to find a studio where we could set up two different set-ups and record two different albums at the same time, in two different rooms,” recalls Haynes. “I had been writing a lot of material, and so we would record for what’s going to be the next Gov’t Mule record early in the day until about 9pm. Then we would move into a smaller room with old vintage equipment set up in a really tight space like an old blues club. So we would play blues all into the night.

It was a good way to cope with the whole lockdown situation. I’m not sure I would want to work like that in general, but it ended up working great for this record.”

Recording two different albums simultaneously sounds kind of confusing. One went full-on blues, whereas the other sounds closer to the Gov’t Mule many have come to love. Even with the abnormal set-up the band was still able to find a flow in the seemingly crazy process. Haynes noted that the band still pushed to show off sides of themselves that their fans haven’t heard yet for what will be their next album.

“It seems like it could be pretty strange but it worked out pretty well. By the time we played blues at night it was a way to shut off our brains. In that way it was a remedy,” Haynes says. “It’s [the upcoming album] different in a lot of ways than what we’ve done as well. I mean we had all our usual toys out, but we just had a lot of fun with it. It’s a very song-oriented record but also very adventurous from a musical standpoint. In a lot of ways it shows a lot of sides of Gov’t Mule that people haven’t seen before.”

While fans wait for what’s to come, there is plenty of music to digest with “Heavy Load Blues.” The deluxe edition features 20 live-in-studio takes of both original Haynes-written material and a ton of expertly covered songs from some of Haynes’ most admired blues musicians. The whole album is a trip through history with a Gov’t Mule twist.

Take “Hiding Place,” for example, a song that was actually written by Haynes in the late ‘80s that other bands have recorded, but one he had never taken to the studio. Or their funky take on Junior Wells’ “Snatch It Back and Hold It” that became a medley smashed with their own jam “Hold It Back.” The album shows just how fearless Gov’t Mule is. Taking on these old blues songs in a unique and fun way isn’t easy, but damn, do they pull it off.

Jay Sansone

Gov’t Mule knows no bounds. The band recently released a blues album and their tour will bring them to Bend later this month.

“I wanted to record songs by a lot of my favorite blues artists. Like Howlin’ Wolf and Elmore James. But I didn’t want to do the obvious choices. We kind of, on a song-by-song basis, we decided how close we would stay to the original. In some cases they sound very similar, other cases completely different. We just tackled that as we went,” he said. “I had also written a lot of original blues songs, which is something that I don’t normally do. The hard part was taking the originals and making sure they all fit with the covers. The feel and sound is very much like an old Bobby Blue Bland record.”

The deluxe edition also features two live recordings, one from London Bluesfest and the other from Sands Bethlehem Events Center.

“I remember both of those shows just feeling very good. When I listened to the recordings it just made sense to use them. Jorgen, our bassist, remixed those tunes for the records and they really capture the spirit of the live performance. Our fans love excess when it comes to music, so our deluxe editions actually sell more than the standard versions.”

Gov’t Mule is set to play in Bend Thursday, June 16 in the Century Center. Haynes remembers Mule playing in Bend previously and is excited to get the chance to do it again.

“I really enjoyed it. I love that part of the country and people in that area really love music and live music. So I’m really looking forward to playing there again.”

Memories of a Musical Life

Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane on his book

By Dave Gil del Rubio

I

Erik Kabik

21

when Kaukonen and an Airplane bandmate, bassist Jack Casady, formed Hot Tuna as a side project in 1969.

And in a sense, Hot Tuna was born before it was even Hot Tuna. The seeds were planted during a Jefferson Airplane gig at the Fillmore East when Paul Kantner asked Kaukonen and Casady to “...go play an acoustic tune.”

In “Been So Long: My Life and Music,” Kaukonen reflects on the musical freedom he and Casady found with Hot Tuna, which came to include a revolving cast of other musicians and played both in acoustic and electric settings.

“The financial success of the Airplane allowed Jack and me the wiggle room to nurse our young band through its infancy without financial constraints,” Kaukonen wrote. “It was fun and a real relief to be able to just get together with friends and play music without it being a ‘career move’!”

Hot Tuna stayed quite active during the 1970s, releasing eight albums that decade before going on a hiatus that lasted until 1986. Kaukonen and Casady have kept the group together since then, adding a pair of studio albums and several live releases to the Hot Tuna catalog.

These days, Kaukonen’s role in his Hot Tuna concerts with Casady is less that of an oldies act and more similar to a bard. As someone who started learning finger picking while at Antioch College and subsequently worshipped at the altar of the storied blues/gospel singer Reverend Gary Davis, Hot Tuna’s shows are rife not only with songs from the Hot Tuna catalog, but material from greats associated with the Americana canon.

Find some of that when Hot Tuna plays at the Tower Theatre Saturday with an acoustic set.

n light of the spate of music biopics and memoirs that have have come out recently, anyone expecting lots of hot dishing when they crack open “Been So Long: My Life and Music,” Jorma Kaukonen’s 2018 autobiography, is advised to look elsewhere.

Despite the fact that the Jefferson Airplane founding member and Hot Tuna co-founder experienced his first dalliance with fame during the group’s halcyon late ‘60s Haight-Ashbury days, the book is more of an intriguing and straightforward account of Kaukonen’s life path. It’s a big reason why he decided to pass on doing a project like this when he was first approached years earlier.

“In the mid to early 2000s, I had an offer to do a book with somebody else as a co-writer. It was somebody that I liked and I hadn’t really thought about it. At the time, the idea of a co-writer made sense to me because I had never really done any writing of that magnitude,” Kaukonen recalled. “But it became apparent that the publishing company that we had been discussing things with wanted all that salacious stuff we talked about that I don’t have in my book. As soon as I realized that they wanted me to dish dirt on people that were more famous than myself, I thought I didn’t want to do that. So I just shelved the whole idea. The same thing happened when I didn’t make the cut for the “Janis: Little Girl Blue” PBS special because Janis and I never had sex or did drugs together. We just played music.”

Born in Washington, D.C. to Beatrice Love (née Levine) and Jorma Ludwig Kaukonen, Sr., the younger Kaukonen boasts Finnish lineage through his paternal grandparents and Russian Jewish ancestry on his mother’s side. Given that his father was a State Department employee, the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's early life involved quite a bit of traveling. In experiencing living in far-flung locales such as Pakistan and the Philippines, Kaukonen took to keeping a diary, a habit that carried into adulthood and was an enormous boon in recalling the finite detail that flows through “Been So Long.”

“Here’s the thing, even as a kid, I liked typing because I couldn’t read my own handwriting. For lack of a better term, I always journaled stuff when I was a kid.

Back in the late ‘90s, I started a website. It wasn’t interactive like the ones are today.

Before there was blogging, I was still journaling. I just always enjoyed doing that,” he said. “For the book, I let the process be my inspiration. So once I sat down, I would start out by knowing that I had to spend three hours that day writing. I’d sit down and maybe the first few minutes, it would be labored. But once I got into the flow, I found that I could do it.”

The book’s narrative thread is wrapped in a straightforward honesty about Kaukonen’s journey, with self-examination that touches on his addiction and recovery, his troubled first marriage and still-thriving current one, his musical journey, the creation of the Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp and the joy of fatherhood. Sprinkled throughout are lyrics that provide fascinating narrative bridges.

Of course, the memoir deals with Kaukonen’s bands, most notably Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna. The Airplane was already a well-established band with several iconic hit songs to its credit (“White Rabbit,” “Somebody To Love,” “Volunteers”)

Gung Ho for a Farewell Show

L

ocal Nouveau New Orleans jazz band Company Grand will play its last show in its current iteration on Tue., June 21 at Volcanic Theatre Pub. Bassist and founding member Tyler Cranor is moving to Florida, so the band is throwing a proper soulstice and sendoff party to celebrate his eight years in the group.

“I’ve heard us be described as the living embodiment of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Which is the Muppet Band,” says Cranor. Company Grand is an eight-piece ensemble that includes brass elements to go along with high-powered electric instruments and catchy vocals.

“I’ve never been involved in a project that’s been so creative as far as from a musical standpoint and a songwriting standpoint,” Cranor says.

The group started in 2014 started as a four-piece playing alongside Bend Burlesque as a live backup band. Its sound and stage presence evolved from those shows to become what audiences know as Company Grand today.

“We’ve been around long enough, every show we do in Central Oregon is packed, but it’s always this wonderful mix of people that we know and love to hang out with… it just always feels like this big family party every time we play in the area.”

Cranor will also finish his eight years of leading the band program at Sisters High School at the end of the school year. For him it is imperative as a music teacher to make sure his students see him pursuing music outside of the classroom.

The group plans to have long-term replacements in place, so don’t fear: Company Grand’s music and actionpacked performances will live on. Cranor already has plans in place to travel to Oregon intermittently to play with Company Grand for the loyal fanbase that the group has built over the years.

Joy in Learning at 85

Bob Weed will graduate from OSU Cascades at 85, completing a lifelong desire and fueling new interests along the way

Despite these challenges, Weed found ways to carve out success and find a meaningful experience.

“A lot of people don’t use all the resources that are available. That’s one of the things that made me successful.”

Taking advantage of tutoring and advising resources has helped Weed get a major GPA of 3.4. He entered school with a GPA of 2.4. He credits the grade improvement to the fact that he finds more interest in the subjects he is studying, along with a rigorous personal drive.

Before I was going to school because I was supposed to go to school. The difference between then and now is significant… I decided that I could really do this and I kind of really dug in.

Bob Weed is living proof that it's never to late to pursue your dreams.

Although he has made meaningful connections with his professors, advising staff and a handful of students, social barriers exist as well.

“Before I was going to school because I was supposed to go to school. The difference between then and now is significant… I decided that I could really do this and I kind of really dug in.”

Among new interests Weed has developed is an interest in environmental issues and local issues such as housing and food insecurity. Weed believes that as he settles into life outside of school, the education he received the past two years will make him a better participant in the volunteer and social activities he enjoyed prior.

What is he most looking forward to after graduation?

“The ability to not have to do homework... I have homework all the time.”

or Bob Weed, it’s a thrill to go to school at the age of 85. He’s graduating this month with a Bachelor of Science in liberal studies, a program he likes because it has a little bit of everything, from computer science to art.

After completing two years of education at Oregon State University in 1955, Weed stopped attending to pursue other interests in life that would lead to more than 60 years of building a career and life outside of academia, until his return to OSU-Cascades in January 2020.

Weed’s lifelong interest in ham radios led him to become a radio engineer and on-air personality for much of his young life. He found the skills he built in the logistics side of the radio business made him an adept advertiser and sales manager, a role in which he blossomed for 20 years. Always willing to embrace new technology, Weed started a computer parts shipping business in the ‘90s, the industry where he would finish his career.

Weed, a fifth generation Oregonian, split time between Central Oregon in the summer and in Arizona and California for winter until he and his wife left the migratory lifestyle in favor of establishing permanent roots. The couple found themselves in Bend when the OSU-Cascades Campus began construction, which refueled a desire that Weed had been harboring for decades.

“Lo and behold, they’re building a campus. And I said, ‘if I’m ever going to do it, this is the time.’ So I decided to go back to school and get my degree,” Weed said about his permanent return to Central Oregon.

It hasn’t always been a smooth process, going back to school in his 80s. For one, Weed began school a short time before campuses nationwide shut down and go virtual because of COVID-19.

“The technology is incredibly different. And that’s one of the most difficult things I had to do when I came back to school… Canvas [the online platform

LITTLE BITES The Pleasures of Parsley CH CHOW Curly parsley’s role as a garnish at low-end chain

By Nicole Vulcan

A ri L eva ux

Barely Wilted Parsley Potato Salad This warm, hearty salad combines many of the first crops of spring. It readily accepts proteins such as crumbled bacon or browned ground meat. But chunks of lemon chicken are my favorite. Serves 4 1 tablespoon baking soda • 1 tablespoon salt • 1 pound potatoes, cut into large dices • 2 large carrots, cut into pieces of similar size to the potatoes • 1 teaspoon black pepper • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes • ½ cup olive oil • 1 medium onion, minced • 1 lemon, juiced and zested • ½ cup grated romano cheese • 1 clove garlic, pressed • 1 large bunch of curly parsley, stems minced and leaves chopped • Recommended condiment: mayo Non-Vegetarian Alternatives: bacon bits, or chunks of baked lemon chicken, recipe below Add the baking soda and salt to a pot with 8 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and carrots and boil for 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and carrots and spread them on a baking pan with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the black pepper and red pepper flakes. Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are a perfectly golden shade of crisp. Remove and let them cool.

If you’re including the lemon chicken, you can start the marinade while the potatoes are boiling and bake the chicken at the same time that you bake the potatoes.

While the potatoes and chicken, if using, are baking, add the garlic, onions, lemon juice, zest, cheese and the final 4 tablespoons of olive oil to a mixing bowl and stir together. Add the potatoes and carrots and protein, if using to the mixing bowl, hot out of the pan. Stir it together. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in the parsley and serve.

Lemon Chicken • • • • • • •

1 pound chicken breast, cubed Stems from your bunch of parsley, minced 1 lemon, juiced and zested 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and thoroughly mix. Let marinate about 30 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 15 minutes at 400, or until they start turning golden.

A New Taphouse/Food Cart Lot for Sisters

Sisters will get another food cart lot and taphouse this week when High Camp taphouse opens along Highway 20. Launched by the same family that created the Himalayan Bites food cart in Bend, High Camp will serve samosas, Tibetan dumplings, curries and noodles, along with other Nepalese items. Also on the menu: a quarter-pound burger, crispy fries and onion rings. According to its website, High Camp has a soft opening Sat., June 18, with plans to add food carts that include Pho House, Bleu Rooster and Lively Up Yourself—all established food places with locations in Redmond or Bend. High Camp is open daily from 11am to 9pm.

Korean Restaurant Opens in Downtown Bend

Yoli Bend, the long-awaited Korean restaurant from award-winning chef Joe Kim, opened in downtown Bend on June 14. Located at 1133 NW Wall Street, next to Super Burrito, Yoli serves “elevated Korean cuisine with the flavors of Korea intertwined with his [Chef Kim’s] modern, unique style,” according to its website. Lunch is casual and dinner is “upscale,” with plans to add a tasting menu in the future. The menu includes traditional Korean items such as Kalbi, Bulgogi and Bibimbap, as well as experimental dishes that combine flavors from around the globe—including a Foie Gras served with sweet & sour kimchi, sesame puree and brioche.

Yoli is currently open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.

urly parsley is widely scorned by the culinary elite.

Aspiring chefs absorb this disdain from a young age and quickly understand that getting ahead in this game requires committing instead to the flat-leafed version, also called Italian parsley. But in my parsley potato salad recipe, curly parsley does the heavy lifting.

Typecast as a garnish, curly parsley struggles to find any other purpose on the plate. It is admittedly tougher than flat, which means you have to work harder to extract the flavor. And while some eaters value an abundance of fiber in their diets, others will make a case for vegetables which lack the consistency of steel wool. Curly parsley can also be harder to clean, and the stems can curl over to make trimming them more of a chore.

Nonetheless, I have a soft spot in my heart for curly parsley because it was my first parsley. As a kid, I associated a solitary sprig of this crinkled leaf with dining out, which was one of my favorite activities. I could always count on that piece of parsley waiting on the edge of my plate. Elsewhere on the menu during that era, parsley was nowhere to be found. But those were different times. Mediterranean specialty items like pesto, aioli and flat-leafed Italian parsley hadn’t yet made the scene. The 98-percenters of America didn’t yet have the freedom to be food snobs the way we do now.

I reached out to a farmer friend to ask if nostalgia is the only reason to keep using it.

“Curly is underrated,” he said with the fervor of a salesman. “Chefs all prefer flat leaf.

It’s wonderful, but so is curly. Unfortunately, curly’s role as a garnish at low-end chain restaurants gave it an undeserved bad name. Old curly parsley on plates of bad late-night food is not the same as a sprig from your garden.”

In her garden, my wife grows both flat and curly parsley. Each summer they go to seed, at which point the leaves shrink back and the plant makes babies. Some of the seeds will sprout in the cool wetness of fall, and overwinter. Some seeds will wait until spring before sprouting.

At the table, she says, they both have their place. Curly parsley has more body, which is nice in a thick salad, like a summer tabbouleh. In leafy salads, the shape of curly parsley can grab onto dressing and wrap itself in flavor.

My curly parsley potato salad makes the most of the three-dimensionality of curly parsley. Tossed with warm potatoes, the sturdy herb wilts but doesn’t fold, filling out the dish with its bulky flavor. This recipe includes several of my favorite techniques, including how to make insanely puffy oven potatoes, and for making my famous lemon chicken, which is a highly recommended non-vegetarian option.

THE BAD GUYS: Sam Rockwell as an anti-hero wolf who, along with his team of thieves, starts pretending to be a good guy in order to eventually get away with bad-guy stuff. With a voice cast featuring Marc Maron, Zazie Beetz, Craig Robinson, Richard Ayoade, Awkwafina and more, this is the most irrationally excited I’ve been for an animated film in a long time. Regal Old Mill BITTERBRUSH: A one of a kind documentary fol-

lowing two young women herding cattle across the remotest areas of Idaho. An intimate and fascinating look at a lifestyle that feels deeply anachronistic in 2022, but still has very real-world importance.

A look at the American West that a documentary hasn’t quite captured before. Sisters Movie House

THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE: I don’t know if we

can really call “Bob’s Burgers” underrated anymore since it has been on more than 10 seasons, but can we truly appreciate how wonderful this cartoon has consistently been over the years? With their first theatrical adventure, Loren Bouchard and company have made a murder mystery with musical numbers and it’s just as delightful as it sounds. Regal Old Mill

BRIAN AND CHARLES: The sleeper hit of Sundance finally comes to theaters! A deeply charming and touching British mockumentary about a lonely genius who builds a robot. Picture “What We Do in The Shadows” if everyone were quiet and awkward instead of loud and awkward. Regal Old Mill CRIMES OF THE FUTURE: David Cronenberg makes his long-awaited return to body horror with this disturbing look at a future where an artist couple grows, regrows and removes new bodily organs for a live audience. It’s super gross but it’s also sort of beautiful in a nightmarish hellscape sort of way.

DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS: Sam Raimi returns to the superhero genre in

what is almost as good as the other big multiverse movie this year, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Easily the, ahem, strangest Marvel movie so far. I'm bursting with nerd glee. Regal Old Mill

DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA: It’s time to check in again with America’s second-favorite group of

British aristocrats as they allow a Hollywood crew to film a movie at their beloved Downton. I hope they keep making these movies forever because Maggie Smith is a treasure. Regal Old Mill

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE:

Martial arts, sci-fi and mind-f*ck combine for this jaw-dropping showcase of the brilliant Michelle Yeoh and the unsung comedic chops of Jamie Lee Curtis. From the Daniels, this is a breathtaking work of imagination that uses cinematic techniques we haven’t seen since the heyday of Spike Jonze and Michele Gondry. Regal Old Mill, Tin Pan Theater

LIGHTYEAR: Chris Evans is Buzz Lightyear in this high-concept animated sci-fi adventure from Pixar and Disney. The concept is cool: The toy Buzz Lightyear from the “Toy Story” movies is the licensed action figure made from the success of a blockbuster summer movie. “Lightyear” is the in-universe movie that the toy is made from. Now my head hurts.

Still, really excited for Pixar to dive back into space.

Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House MEN: From the writer/director of “Ex Machina” and “Annihilation” comes this deeply disturbing thriller about a woman who’s either dealing with something supernatural or she’s losing her mind. From A24, this is a horror masterwork that stays in the mind for a very long time. Tin Pan Theater JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION: I’m in the minority

in thinking the last couple “Jurassic World” movies had a few pretty exciting moments but weren’t actually great movies. This new one brings back Sam Neil, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum from the original, so I’m hoping this one manages to find some of the magic that has been missing. Ultimately, dinosaurs are cool, so this should be fun. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins

TOP GUN: MAVERICK: There’s a reason why Tom Cruise is the last true movie star and it’s mostly because he’s that perfect blend of creepy, weird and desperate to entertain us—and boy does he.

This feels like a true Hollywood crowd-pleaser in a way we haven’t seen in years. Talk about a highway to the danger zone. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins

“The Bob’s Burgers Movie” is really just an extended episode of the TV show, focused on a giant sinkhole that opens up in front of the titular restaurant right at a time Bob and family need to sell enough burgers to pay a bank loan back for all the kitchen equipment. All the voice actors and creative team have been working on the show for more than a decade, so the movie just plays like an effortless victory lap that feels like a warm hug for fans of the show. The humor and the heart are front and center, reminding us that even though “Bob’s Burgers” might not be as big or popular as the “Simpsons” or “Family Guy,” it’s filled with its own unique and special charms.

The Bob’s Burgers Movie Dir. Loren Bouchard & Bernard Derriman Grade: B+ Now Playing at Regal Old Mill

“Men” is a deeply disturbing mind-f*ck that tells the story of Jessie Buckley, a woman who has just gone through witnessing the suicide of her husband and heads out to the English countryside in order to try to heal. She runs into several different horrible men, one after another, who either stalk her, demean her or attack her (and they’re all played by the great English actor Rory Kinnear). For fans of that very specific brand of A24 horror, “Men” combines a folk horror fairy tale with a postmodern deconstruction of the patriarchy and a brutal look at generational toxic masculinity that manages to be extremely freaky, while also being a massively metaphorical conversation piece.

“Crimes of the Future” is David Cronenberg’s first step back into the realm of body horror since 1999’s “eXistenZ,” and boy is he making up for lost time. Viggo Mortensen plays a performance artist who is growing organs in his body that don’t have a purpose, so, along with his surgeon/artistic partner, he removes them for an audience in awe of his art. Definitely not for the squeamish, this Body Noir DreamMare is at times very hard to look at while being absolutely mesmerizing, with thematic ideas about bodily autonomy and the new human evolution that will only gain relevance as the film ages.

Finally, the French charmer “Petite Maman” is a lovely and tender magical realist exploration of an eight-year-old discovering herself through a bit of time travel.

Filmmaker Celine Sciamma lovingly examines the relationship between mothers and daughters in a way that’s both universal and personal, allowing the audience to feel their catharsis for their own past regrets regarding family. This is such a beautiful and deceptively profound little movie that, at 72 minutes long, feels like a minor miracle.

If you have already seen (or have no intention of seeing) the new “Top Gun,” there are so many more options to choose from. There’s literally something playing for everyone right now, regardless of taste. The fact that movies can cover such a wide range of emotion, genre and human experience never fails to amaze me.

just watched four entirely disparate films, and because of that I can’t imagine a better time to check in on the current state of movies. This last weekend I went to an animated family film, a new body horror film by the reigning master of the genre, a gentle French drama about motherhood and disturbing fairy tale from the mind behind “Ex Machina” and “Annihilation.” All four were good to great in completely different ways and, taken as a whole, prove that there are really no boundaries to the form of cinema.

Though more common west of the Cascades, Bogue added, “The Cloud Appreciation Society was behind them finally getting named as an official cloud in the International Cloud Atlas.

The first new cloud to be named since 1951!” This atlas is the standard for cloud classifications.

CAS cloud spotters worldwide keep their eyes turned to the skies to record unusual clouds or interesting shapes, which are shared with members through daily postings from the Society. “The 'cloud a day' emails feature a photo taken by one of the CAS members with an explanation by Gavin Pretor-Pinney (member #1 and founder of the society),” said Sandra Wu, CAS member. “Knowing more about clouds has only added to my enjoyment of them and caused me to appreciate their beauty even more.”

Of course, clouds indicate what is happening in the atmosphere. “Clouds are certainly influenced by weather patterns,” said Allan. “One of the most telling signs is the appearance of high cirrus or altocumulus clouds after a stretch of clear weather and this is indicative of an approaching front.”

“The sky is a mirror, an ocean of

air,” said Naslund. “Every feature of a cloud—shape, texture, density, movement—tells us something about what is happening. Or what may happen.

Or what has happened. There is just a wealth of information to be found in a quick scan or a deep dive into the sky.”

For those wanting a deeper dive into cloud appreciation, check out the Society’s “A Cloud a Day” from the library or peruse the wealth of information on its website. You’ll be amazed at the variety of cloud forms and may even be inspired to “look up” more often.

Clouds also offer comfort, as cloud enthusias Lori Sloan noted.

“As a Homecare and Hospice nurse for 20 years, I so enjoyed driving from patient to patient, which allowed me to look at the sky and feel that the day was still my own just by feeling the sun on my face and the breeze in my hair.”

And to remind us all of the importance of clouds, Celeste Colasurdo, CAS Oregon member, said, “My recommendation? When you look up and see a cloud, say a word of thanks.

As essential parts of the water cycle, clouds are life.”

ou don’t have to be a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society to enjoy watching clouds sail overhead or to love observing odd atmospheric occurrences. But if you are, you’re probably standing with others “on cloud nine.”

In short, clouds are made up of water droplets or ice crystals—the result of water vapor condensing in the atmosphere around particles of dust or ice. Mars also has clouds similar to those on Earth, while Jupiter has clouds made up of ammonia.

Here on Earth, clouds are categorized by their shape and location in the atmosphere, mostly in the lower portion called the troposphere.

The classification of clouds first came about after a London pharmacist and self-proclaimed daydreamer, Luke Howard (1772-1864), spent years observing cloud types and weather patterns. Howard presented a nomenclatural system for naming clouds in 1802, and many of his classifications still exist today.

“I can’t say too much has changed since that classification system was introduced besides just adding more specificity within each category,” said Andrea Allan, instructor of geography and atmospheric science at Oregon State University and CAS member #13,990. “For example, instead of calling every high wispy cloud ‘cirrus’ we now have ‘cirrus floccus’ and ‘cirrus uncinus.’ These classifications are like the binomial scientific names given to plants and animals."

Along with atmospheric scientists, artists, poets, photographers and others have enjoyed watching clouds.

“I would have to say I have been obsessed with the sky all of my life,” said Julie Naslund, CAS member #38,898. “From long summer days in childhood, lying in the grass following the changing shapes and volumes of clouds, to deep nights laying under the sash of the Milky Way while my mother named constellations, I have always been looking up.”

For some, looking up is a spiritual practice. “I’ve been a Zen Buddhist practitioner for decades, and ‘looking up’ is a common bit of advice,” said Sallie Tisdale, CAS member #42,126.

“We tend to focus on ourselves, our peculiar problems and needs. When you look up and realize that the cumulus cloud floating by is miles above you and miles wide? That helps.”

Nancy Bogue, another CAS member, watches the sky for unusual clouds and photographs these ephemeral cloudscapes.

“Asperitas is my absolute favorite.

Let’s Talk About Stares

The European starling and its ability to invade

By Jim Anderson

As far as I know, the last two lines in that poem have little to do with starlings and their nesting space if occupied by bees. However, that said, if bees gave up an old woodpecker cavity, you can bet your bottom dollar a pair of starlings would be right there to move in and raise their babies…

The alien European starling, which is found throughout the world in several subspecies, started out life in Africa and Europe, and, thanks to one thing or another, have been carried to many other places around the world by man.

About 100 of them got here because a small bunch of people wanted to propagate birds of Shakespeare’s period. Well, not right here in Oregon, but they carried them from England to Central Park in New York

by Shakespeare look-alike, Eugene Schieffelin, and his pals who belonged to the New York Genealogical, Biographical and New York Zoological Societies.

In 1758, Carl Linnaeus ascribed the scientific name to starlings that are making so much mischief in our nation and other places around the world. Aside from stealing nesting sites from native birds and mammals—which is a biological nightmare—the starlings

41 also compete for food.

One spring day in Sisters I witnessed how European starlings can organize themselves and take over a situation that helps them prosper, and causes severe problems to native species.

I was in my parked car on the west end of Sisters, next to an old cow pasture with a sidewalk between me and the meadow. I was watching a soaring buteo to make sure it was a red-tailed hawk when I became aware of about 10 or 15 local robins alighting near me and beginning to forage for terrestrial prey. A male robin very near me caught my eye as he slowly walked through the grass, tipping his head as if listening.

Then right ahead of me a group of European starlings landed on the curb, and just stayed there watching what the robins were doing. Within 10 minutes the starlings suddenly moved in on the robins, chasing them away from the lawn with violent bursts of stabbing bills. The starlings then proceeded to hunt for prey in the very same place where the robins had been.

Within moments they were stalking prey, stabbing worms and some of them even tipping their heads as the robins had been doing. This is just one small example how starlings can learnt from then mimic our native birds.

In addition, I could mention here the hours I spent trapping starlings that tried to use the nesting box I had put up for the native Red-shafted flickers… Maddeningly, the starlings usually prevailed. Next time I’ll be using predator guards on the box.

One more scary example are starlings nesting in the lower substrate of golden eagle nests. That started about 10 years back and has reached almost 40% today.

This is worrisome to me, regarding the introduction of parasites starlings carry, as well as nest disturbance caused by these alien invaders.

So, I thank wildlife services for the clever traps they are using in an attempt to reduce the starling numbers, but unfortunately the starlings are still winning…

efore we get into the havoc alien starlings, or stares, are causing here in the U.S., I have to comment on the nutty title for this piece.

At one time, way back in the mid-1800s, when Shakespeare was prominent in the intellectual world, the European starling, Sturnis vulgaris, was known in Ireland as the stare. (Not having any Irish ancestors, I have no idea how that’s pronounced.)

Poetry was prevalent in those glorious days, and one of the leading artists was Irishman William Butler Yeats, who wrote a poem titled, “The Stare Nest By My Window.”

The bees build in the crevices Of loosening masonry, and there The mother birds bring grubs and flies.

My wall is loosening; honey-bees, Come build in the empty house of the stare.

We are closed in, and the key is turned On our uncertainty; somewhere A man is killed, or a house burned.

Yet no clear fact to be discerned: Come build in the empty house of the stare.

A barricade of stone or of wood; Some fourteen days of civil war: Last night they trundled down the road That dead young soldier in his blood: Come build in the empty house of the stare.

We had fed the heart on fantasies, The heart’s grown brutal from the fare, More substance in our enmities Than in our love; O honey-bees, Come build in the empty house of the stare.

—William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Dutchie Lays off 8% of Workforce

Company cites ‘dramatic market shift,’ in latest cannabis tech company cuts

By Taylor Soper, GeekWire Nick Harsell

Brothers Ross, left, and Zach Lipson founded Dutchie in Bend in 2017.

D

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY YO!

www.tokyostarfish.com

utchie, a Bend, Ore.-based software startup that serves cannabis retailers, has laid off 8% of its workforce.

GeekWire confirmed the cuts with a Dutchie spokesperson. The company employs more than 700 people.

The cuts affected roles across product and recruiting teams, according to LinkedIn posts written by laid off employees. “I am saddened, frustrated, and genuinely blindsided by this decision,” one laid off employee wrote.

“Beyond my frustration, confusion, and disappointment, I’m heartbroken,” another said.

Dutchie is the latest tech company to lay off workers in response to the broader ongoing economic uncertainty. Several cannabis software companies have slashed staff in recent weeks, including Eaze and Akerna.

Dutchie was valued at $3.75 billion when it raised a $350 million Series D round in October, which came just seven months after the startup raised $200 million. Dutchie also acquired Greenbits and LeafLogix earlier this year.

The company serves more than 5,000 dispensaries across the U.S. with e-commerce, point of sale and payment products. It’s among a group of tech companies riding the wave of support for marijuana legalization in the U.S., including the passage of legislation across multiple states. Legal cannabis sales grew 40% to $25 billion in 2021.

Dutchie’s backers include D1 Capital Partners, which led the Series D round, and others such as Tiger Global, which was featured by the Wall Street Journal on Monday in a story that described

how the recent downturn “vaporized years of its gains.”

Other backers include Dragoneer, DFJ Growth, Thrive Capital, Gron Ventures, Casa Verde Capital, Willoughby Capital, Glynn Capital and Park West Asset Management.

A Dutchie spokesperson provided this statement from Dutchie CEO and co-founder Ross Lipson, who started the company in 2017 with his brother Zach.

“Like many other companies watching the dramatic market shift over the last few months, we took time as a team to carefully think through our business plans to ensure we are set up to fulfill our mission. Fortunately, the cannabis industry is still growing at a rapid pace and is positioned well to be resilient in the case of a broader recession.

“Last week, we gathered our entire team together to communicate an important and difficult decision to restructure a few areas of the business.

This decision impacts approximately 8% of the company’s overall workforce.

We are forever grateful for everyone’s contributions to Dutchie and the cannabis industry that were impacted.

“Dutchie is in a strong position and we are focused on continued growth.

We will continue to hire top talent and pursue growth opportunities that map to our business objectives in order to advance our mission to provide safe and easy access to cannabis while helping to drive the cannabis industry forward.”

weeks, you will need even more human touch than usual. Your mental, physical, and spiritual health REQUIRE you to have your skin in contact with people who care for you and are eager to feel their skin against yours. A Tumblr blogger named Friend-Suggestion sets the tone for the mood I hope you cultivate. They write, “I love! human contact! with! my friends! So put your leg over mine!

Let our knees touch! Hold my hand! Make excuses to feel my arm by drawing pictures on my skin!

Stand close to me! Lean into my space! Slow dance super close to me! Hold my face in your hands or kick my foot to get my attention! Put your arm around me when we’re standing or sitting around!

Hug me from behind at random times!”

novelist George Eliot wrote, “It is very hard to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings—much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.” I believe you will be exempt from this rule during the next seven weeks. You will be able to speak with lucid candor about your feelings—maybe more so than you’ve been able to in a long time. And that will serve you well as you take advantage of the opportunity that life is offering you: to deepen, clarify, and refine your intimate relationships.

ville wrote what might serve as a manifesto for some of us Crabs: “To be concealed, protected, guarded: that is all I have ever truly wanted. To burrow down into a place of womby warmth and cower there, hidden from the sky’s indifferent gaze and the harsh air’s damagings. The past is such a retreat for me. I go there eagerly, shaking off the cold present and the colder future.” If you are a Crab who feels a kinship with Banville’s approach, I ask you to refrain from indulging in it during the coming months. You’re in a phase of your long-term astrological cycle when your destiny is calling you to be bolder and brighter than usual, more visible and influential, louder and stronger.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “We wish to make

rage into a fire that cooks things rather than a fire of conflagration,” writes author Clarissa Pinkola Estés. That’s good advice for you right now. Your anger can serve you, but only if you use it to gain clarity—not if you allow it to control or immobilize you.

So here’s my counsel: Regard your wrath as a fertilizing fuel that helps deepen your understanding of what you’re angry about—and shows you how to engage in constructive actions that will liberate you from what is making you angry.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Jeanette Winterson was asked, “Do you fall in love often?” She replied, “Yes, often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.” Even if you’re not usually as prone to infatuation and enchantment as Winterson, you could have many experiences like hers in the coming months. Is that a state you would enjoy? I encourage you to welcome it. Your capacity to be fascinated and captivated will be at a peak. Your inclination to trust your attractions will be extra high. Sounds fun!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran lexicographer Daniel Webster (1758–1843) worked hard to create his dictionary, and it became highly influential in American culture. He spent over 26 years perfecting it. To make sure he could properly analyze the etymologies, he learned 28 languages.

He wrote definitions for 70,000 words, including 12,000 that had never been included in a published dictionary. I trust you are well underway with your own Webster-like project, Libra. This entire year is an excellent time to devote yourself with exacting diligence to a monumental labor of love. If you haven’t started it yet, launch now. If it’s already in motion, kick it into a higher gear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Shouldn’t the distance between impossible and improbable be widened?” asks poet Luke Johnson. I agree that it should, and I nominate you to do the job. In my astrological view, you now have the power to make progress in accomplishing goals that some people may regard as unlikely, fantastical, and absurdly challenging. (Don’t listen to them!) I’m not necessarily saying you will always succeed in wrangling the remote possibilities into practical realities.

But you might. And even if you’re only partially victorious, you will learn key lessons that bolster your abilities to harness future amazements.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author bell hooks (who didn’t capitalize her name) expressed advice I recommend for you. She said, “Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving.

When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” As you enter a phase of potential renewal for your close relationships, you’ll be wise to deepen your commitment to self-sufficiency and self-care. You might be amazed at how profoundly that enriches intimacy. Here are two more helpful gems from bell hooks: “You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself” and “Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In April 2005, a 64-yearold Korean woman named Cha Sa-soon made her first attempt to get her driver’s license. She failed. In fairness to her, the written test wasn’t easy. It required an understanding of car maintenance. After that initial flop, she returned to take the test five days a week for three years—and was always unsuccessful. She persevered, however. Five years later, she passed the test and received her license. It was her 960th try. Let’s make her your role model for the foreseeable future. I doubt you’ll have to persist as long as she did, but you’ll be wise to cultivate maximum doggedness and diligence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the eighth century, Chinese poet Du Fu gave a batch of freshly written poems to his friend and colleague, the poet Li Bai. “Thank you for letting me read your new poems,” Li Bai later wrote to Du Fu. “It was like being alive twice.” I foresee you enjoying a comparable grace period in the coming weeks, Pisces: a time when your joie de vivre could be double its usual intensity. How should you respond to this gift from the Fates? Get twice as much work done? Start work on a future masterpiece? Become a beacon of inspiration to everyone you encounter? Sure, if that’s what you want to do. And you could also simply enjoy every detail of your daily rhythm with supreme, sublime delight.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries actor Marilu Henner has an unusual condition: hyperthymesia.

She can remember in detail voluminous amounts of past events. For instance, she vividly recalls being at the Superdome in New Orleans on September 15, 1978, where she and her actor friends watched a boxing match between Leon Spinks and Muhammad Ali. You probably don’t have hyperthymesia, Aries, but I invite you to approximate that state. Now is an excellent time to engage in a leisurely review of your life story, beginning with your earliest memories. Why? It will strengthen your foundation, nurture your roots, and bolster your stability.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Poet Elizabeth Bishop noted that many of us are “addicted to the gigantic.” We live in a “mostly huge and roaring, glaring world.” As a counterbalance, she wished for “small works of art, short poems, short pieces of music, intimate, low-voiced, and delicate things.” That’s the spirit I recommend to you in the coming weeks, Taurus. You will be best served by consorting with subtle, unostentatious, elegant influences. Enjoy graceful details and quiet wonders and understated truths.

xperiencing stubborn health or life challenges? Underlying trauma may be the problem. While recent decades have witnessed quantum advances in the study of trauma, its consequences and treatment, most people still view car wrecks, falls, assaults, divorce, abuse, emotional acy upsets, and more simplistically: oneand-done events happening to somebody else.

On one level, trauma is merely a physical, emotional or spiritual overload that we are unable to process in the moment, owing to factors such as fatigue, danger, vulnerability, lack of external support or internal resources. In this sense, trauma is situational. Nine times out of 10, a particular impact or insult may not reach the trauma threshold. But when it does, our brain instantly dumps the overload into our tissues without our awareness.

While that hard-wired reflex helps us survive the crisis, it also perpetuates it. Now parked in our tissue, the energy of the overload actively broadcasts to our entire being that we are in danger. In other words, until found and evicted, this buried content mires us in a dysfunctional and traumatic past. It also accounts for many of our eccentricities and neuroses.

In the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event at any age, if there is nobody to confide in and comfort us, this is at least as traumatic as the actual event, if not more so. However, humans are most vulnerable to trauma in the first 27 months post-conception, when our survival depends entirely on others. During this critical period, even a momentary service—or connection interruption with our mom or primary caregiver—like being left to cry ourselves to sleep, is life-threatening and can induce anxiety, insecurity or terror. Because the infant’s nervous system is such a work in progress, these interruptions can lead to serious developmental delays such as ADD/ADHD and other cognitive and behavioral challenges.

A seemingly innocent moment of neglect may also lead to addictions, allergies, autoimmune challenges,

eating disorders, other physical and mental illnesses, even crime. These situations aren’t necessarily the result of bad parenting, neglect or abuse. Mom, dad, or whomever may be experiencing physical, financial or emotional problems like postpartum depression, or might just have conflicting responsibilities.

In the 1980s, we learned that many of those who experienced PTSD during military service had already been traumatized in childhood, leaving them less resilient than their comrades. After stalling for decades, the American psychiatric community has finally recognized the existence and seriousness of childhood PTSD. Indeed, the psychiatric community has also recognized 10 Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) that increase susceptibility to truancy, dropping out, crime, drug addiction and serious health challenges. Often related to socioeconomic status, these adverse experiences include things such as witnessing physical violence or having family members incarcerated, or addicted to drugs and alcohol.

There is hope: Trauma and its severest consequences are treatable, as shown in the film, “The Wisdom of Trauma” (viewable online with a small donation). Dr. Gabor Matés books “Scattered Minds” and “In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts” present the science linking early life trauma to ADD/ADHD and addictions. Those experiencing health challenges might benefit from working with someone trained to find and evict trauma that has been parked in the body.

Our next column explores the connection between trauma, allergies and autoimmune complaints.

Appraisals in Today’s Market Adjusting for shifts in the market

to impact both buyers and sellers. It’s pushed some folks out of the market (many first-time home buyers) and those who already own have decided to “see what happens” over the next handful of months. Sellers have seen the market cool slightly; prices are no longer rising rapidly and appear to have leveled off a bit. This can have some effect on appraisals since they are based on recently sold comparable properties (typically the last six months).

Even over the last few weeks things have changed a bit more as rates have climbed a few times now in 2022. So now appraisers must factor in that the market is no longer rapidly rising, and perhaps plateauing, or perhaps declining slightly. The issue can be that not all markets move in the same direction at the same rate, so this can be a cause of concern with regards to appraised values, and why we have seen some come in a little low, while others continue to come in at value or above.

Homes are still selling in a matter of weeks or a couple of months, and while this may seem like an eternity compared to 2021, this is still very, very fast.

Prices adjusting slightly from all-time highs is not a sign of impending doom; just a shifting market. We must wait and see how the market shifts affect buyers and sellers, but for right now the rising rates have cooled the market a bit. As we see prices continue to stabilize, that may bring some buyers back into the market. Like I said in my last article, time in the market beats timing the market; so, if buying makes sense for your situation, buy. If you cannot make ends meet, then perhaps now is the time to wait a little longer.

The issue that holds the physical ballot for readers to cast their vote!

his week I wanted to discuss some changes we are starting to see in our local real estate market with regards to appraisals. Quickly, an appraisal is an unbiased professional opinion on a home’s value, used whenever financing is involved. The lender just wants to do their own bit of due diligence on a property and make sure that the home (their collateral) is valued appropriately. Most residential sale agreements include a financing contingency that must be satisfied, with an appraisal value equal to or above the sale price.

Right now, we are in an interesting place with regards to appraisals.

In most of 2020 and 2021 the concern with regards to appraisals was: Would the value come in to support the purchase price in a rapidly increasing market? If the appraisal comes in low, and the buyers want to move forward, what can be done to keep the deal alive?

In the last couple years, I have written many offers that included language such as, “in the event the appraisal comes in below the contract price, client X will pay up to $Y amount to bridge the appraisal and sale price gap.”

The reason for this was that competitive offers had to remove as much risk for sellers as possible. Two of the biggest hurdles in a real estate transaction can be the inspection and the appraisal, so anything a potential buyer can do to remove those risks will surely make the seller feel better. Now as the market shifts from an absolute sellers’ market to a more typical sellers’ market, home prices and appraisals will be adjusting.

Currently the real estate market nationwide is uncertain. The recent rapid rise in interest rates has begun
