The pundits and political commentators weren’t kidding when they said that the outcome of the presidential election would be a long haul. We’re putting this paper to bed tonight, late into the night, and I think I’m not the only one who’s going to be simultaneously exhausted and also unable to sleep as it’s decided. Meanwhile, in local races, Bend voters overwhelmingly supported progressive candidates for the Bend City Council, and delivered an upset in the Deschutes County Commission race— according to unofficial returns from Tuesday night. Oregon voters statewide made history by voting in favor of decriminalizing drugs, launching a psilocybin therapy program, and paving the way for campaign finance reform. As we all hold our collective breaths to see who will be the head of our nation, we’ve already seen plenty of action that will have significant effects on Oregonians going forward. The most recent results of local elections are found in our News section—and stay tuned to bendsource.com and our newsletter, Cascades Reader, for our ongoing analysis and reporting around this election.

A 70% Increase in Drug Deaths in Oregon May be Only the Beginning

his past week, as Americans have cast ballots and had their eyes glued to an election season that feels longer than most, a piece of news came out, related to an issue that has been barely a blip on the radar in national politics of late: This spring, Oregon saw a 70% increase in drug-related deaths during some of the early months of the pandemic, compared to the same months last year. According to health experts at the Oregon Health Authority, some of the factors driving the spike in drug overdose deaths in the state include the use of illicit fentanyl and methamphetamine. According to OHA’s press release on Oct. 29, data from the State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System showed that, “between April and May 2020 there was a 28% increase in overdose deaths, and a more than 15% increase in overdose deaths between March and April. Opioid-involved deaths increased nearly 70% in April and May compared to the previous two months. And opioid-involved deaths accounted for almost 73% of total overdose deaths in May 2020. “Of opioid-involved deaths, the data show, fentanyl and heroin continue to be the drugs most frequently involved, and fentanyl-involved deaths accounted for almost 40% of total overdose deaths in May 2020,” OHA’s release stated. Oregon’s stats were staggering, compared to data available from some other states. In nearby Washington, drug deaths were up by an alarming rate, as well, clocking in with an increase of 35% from 2019 through the first portion of 2020. To our south, California saw an increase of 23%. Delaware had among the highest-reported increases in the data available, at 60%. State health officials did not draw a direct line between the overdose deaths and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19

pandemic, but with rates rising in other states at the same time, the data is beginning to bear out what we have long known about this virus: The anxiety and depression that can come from this stressful time, coupled with the widespread social isolation most people are experiencing are all having serious effects. Support for addiction services is already woefully inadequate in our state, and around the nation, and too little has been done at the state and national levels to not only help with treatment, but to slow trends on the front end by reining in the companies producing these drugs. What’s more, the president and his attorney general appear to remain hell-bent on cutting off federal funding for “anarchist jurisdictions,” including Portland and Seattle—funding that includes money for HIV and opioid treatment, as Oregon’s senators pointed out in a recent letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. Oregon’s initiatives to better fund treatment, found on voter’s ballots around the state this fall, were a step in the right direction, and hopefully they’ll pass and set Oregon on a prevention and treatment strategy that actually sees results. Still, those programs likely won’t stem the tide of what these recent statistics are beginning to show: The pandemic’s effects go beyond the direct threats that COVID-19 delivers to those who get it. Isolation, stress, economic uncertainty and even violence have all increased during this difficult year—and while we as individuals may not have contributed directly to making those things a reality, it’s likely going to be individual contributions, not the least of which include supporting local and state initiatives around mental health and addiction, that will help stem this tide. These recent statistics are, we fear, only the beginning.

Since the Planning Commission and City Council voted to not allow microunits in RS zones, the Affordable Housing Authority Committee (AHAC) and their media surrogates are unfairly spreading myths about Neighborhood Associations. First, they called Neighborhood Associations NIMBY and last week Melanie Kebler and David Welton escalated by calling my neighbors racist and segregationists. I cannot stand by and let these ad hominem arguments continue against my neighbors. (ad hominem – when you attack the person because you cannot convince with facts). FACT: my neighbors support affordable housing. Neighborhood associations consist of volunteers who work hard for everyone in Bend. I know because I serve as the Land Use Chair for the Southern Crossing Neighborhood Association, which includes part of the Brookswood Corridor, the SW Wilson neighborhoods, the Reed Lane area, and Woodriver Village. My Neighborhood association is quite diverse economically and not a mythological wealthy enclave. Here’s the truth of the matter— and a very important nuance that keeps being missed: The Neighborhood associations were against putting microunits in RS zones because our neighbors wanted them to succeed. When you take the time to research microunits, you learn they only succeed in areas with good public transportation, services, and that are close to grocery stores. Most of Bend’s RS zones have none of this. I personally lobbied the Planning Commission to include laundry units in microunits when I realized Bend only has about five laundromats—none close to most RS Zones. The proposal AHAC supported for microunits did not include laundromats, a cruel oversight considering most of the people who will

live in microunits won’t have cars and Bend has cold winters and limited public transportation options. Fortunately, the Planning Commission recommended that laundry units be provided for every 10 units and the City Council agreed. It’s time for AHAC and their surrogates to back off. Stop blaming neighborhood associations and stop whining about microunits not being allowed in RS zones. Instead, focus on celebrating that Bend’s affordable housing offerings are about to improve. Microunits ARE being allowed in Bend—where they are more likely to succeed. Affordable duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes and tiny homes will soon be allowed in all housing zones— just what the AHAC wants! It saddens me that AHAC and a City Council candidate at the time has used traditional and social media to attack another City Council committee, the Neighborhood Leadership Alliance, consisting of members from the 13 neighborhood associations. Neighborhood associations are not supported by special interests. Our boards are volunteers who listen to what you want to make Bend a better place for YOU. Anyone in Bend can join one of the 13 Neighborhood Associations— for free. I urge our new and established City Council members to listen closely to Neighborhood associations. My own neighbors trust me to be their voice, a responsibility I take seriously. Neighborhood associations are the voice of the community and, like everyone, my neighbors simply want their truth to be heard. —Deby Deweese, Vice Chair/Land Use Chair, Southern Crossing Neighborhood Association

while teaching us all a valuable lesson. Clearly, the COVID pandemic has made running your operation a complex challenge and you have passed that complexity on to your loyal customers. Also, you are wisely teaching season pass holders a valuable lesson about complacency. I agree with your proposition. It's absurd for one to believe that purchasing a season pass would allow one to park and ride the mountain whenever they see fit. The whole process is a true psychological tour de force with manufacturing a scarcity mindset among your local customers. By providing an unlimited parking pass to customers of a higher tier (outplay 365), you encourage the "coach class" clientèle (albeit very privileged) to believe there will never be enough, resulting in a feeling of uncertainty. Uncertainty is exactly what we all need to feel right now and thank you for your contribution. Finally, keep referring all of the pesky questions back to the online reservation manual which is very clear and transparent about the vagueness of the whole process. Once again, another check in the "W" column for Mt. Bachelor. —Sean Reinhart

Conservation Controversy WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / NOVEMBER 5, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Local irrigation districts have a plan to conserve water in the Deschutes River and protect endangered species, but environmental groups say it isn’t enough By Laurel Brauns

he fate of the Deschutes River is in the hands of the federal government. The Oregon spotted frog could disappear forever. The overall health of the river has rapidly declined from 10 years of drought and over irrigation. The Wickiup Reservoir ran dry this summer. Yet, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is weeks away from issuing a permit that will shield local irrigation districts from litigation if the Oregon spotted frog and other endangered species go extinct. Since the passage of the Endangered Species Act by the federal government in 1973, environmental groups have often relied on it as one of their most effective tools for protecting natural resources such as the Deschutes River, according to Tod Heisler, rivers conservation director for Central Oregon LandWatch. The USFWS is empowered to enforce the ESA, and this means it’s responsible for preventing irreparable damage caused by irrigation. The federal agency required eight districts in the Deschutes Basin to craft the Deschutes Basin Habit

districts release the dams in the summer so property owners can use the water to maintain their farms and businesses. “The problem actually started 120 years ago when we massively over-appropriated the river… There are far more water rights that were issued by the State of Oregon than there is actually water in the river,” Heisler said. Around the turn of the 20th Century, settlers claimed water on a first-come, first-serve basis. These agreements with the state were figuratively etched in stone and are attached to a tract of land, not a person. This means people who run hobby farms, golf courses and some agriculture operations closer to Bend have first or “senior” rights to the water, because this area was settled a few years before farms farther north, in Madras and Culver. Senior water rights holders can order junior holders to shut off water until the senior gets their full allotment. As Bend developed into a hot destination for real estate and tourism, many farms were sold off and turned into hobby ranches. Heisler

“You’ve got six districts all competing for water; none of them want to take any less. They’re all actually trying to get as much of it as they can, and this is exacerbated by a 10-year trend of drought which we all believe is climate change, so that is how you get to a situation like Wickiup this summer.” —Tod Heisler Conservation Plan, which details everything they will do to protect the imperiled wildlife in and around the river. The districts submitted it last year, and will find out if it's approved by the end of 2020. Should the USFWS give the green light, it will shield the irrigation districts from ESA lawsuits for the next 30 years—even if some animals go extinct as a result of over irrigation, Heisler said. Irrigation from the Deschutes River Heisler was a recent guest on the Source Weekly’s “Bend Don’t Break” podcast, explaining the importance of the HCP, his organization’s objections to it and some background on how the Deschutes River is irrigated. Eight irrigation districts take water from the river through an elaborate series of irrigation canals, Heisler explained. Water comes down from the mountains and is captured in three reservoirs starting in November, including Wickiup, Crane Prairie and Crescent reservoirs. The man-made lakes store water through the winter and spring. Then, irrigation

believes it’s unfair to privilege property owners who are raising animals for fun over commercial agriculture operations, but that is how the system remains. In the winter, the upper Deschutes from the Wickiup Reservoir to Bend is reduced to a small stream because of the dams. In the summer months, the irrigation districts open the dams and flood the river. This weakens riparian vegetation along the banks and results in severe erosion, creating lethal conditions for fish and other aquatic life, Heisler said. “You’ve got six districts all competing for water; none of them want to take any less,” Heisler said. “They’re all actually trying to get as much of it as they can, and this is exacerbated by a 10-year trend of drought which we all believe is climate change, so that is how you get to a situation like Wickiup this summer,” Heisler said. By Sept. 14, the Wickiup Reservoir drained to 1% of its capacity, a historic low, according to the Bureau of Reclamation. It was only 75% full at the beginning of irrigation season in March due to low snowpack and several years

of drought. Typically, it is still 25% full in October when the irrigation districts turn off the canals. Conserving water in the Deschutes Basin COLW, the Deschutes River Conservancy and local irrigation districts have come up with a variety of water conservation solutions to address the challenges of threatened species, drought and over-appropriation. These include piping the canals, efficiency upgrades on individual farms and ranches, and paying property owners to give their water back to the river or to other farmers growing food (water marketing), said Heisler. Eight irrigation districts (collectively known as the Deschutes Basin Board of Control) and the City of Prineville collaborated on the Deschutes Basin HCP, and included all of those water conservation strategies. The eight districts—which include Arnold, Central Oregon, North Unit, Ochoco, Swalley, Three Sisters, Tumalo and Lone Pine irrigation districts—promised to gradually increase the flows in the upper Deschutes in the winter months to 400 cubic feet per second over the next 20 years. (It sometimes drops to 100 CFS in the winter when the water is stored in Wickiup.) But the HCP cited no plans to cut back on flooding the river to highs of 1,800 CFS in the summer, Heisler said. “My gripe today is that the districts are putting really all of their eggs in the ‘large canal piping’ basket,” Heisler said. “We’re talking about a century-old infrastructure system, so it needs to be updated, but it is a lot more expensive and time consuming to build pipes than it is to prioritize on-farm conservation and water marketing.”

The Central Oregon Irrigation District perspective Craig Horrell, who heads the Central Oregon Irrigation District, estimates that up to 50% of all irrigation water in old systems is lost before it ever makes it to water patrons. Piping projects, which began in the basin in the 1990s, save water from seepage below and evaporation above, he said. COID gives 100% of the water it saves through piping back to the river, he said. Horrell also argued that the money his district won from the federal government for piping projects was earmarked for piping only and would have just gone to a project in another region. “Especially during COVID and hard economic times, it’s valuable to bring 130 jobs to the region,” Horrell told the Source. Horrell also touted another big win for the agency: COID won a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART grant which was used to jumpstart a water marketing program begun this summer. Some patrons already traded or sold water to help the farmers in Madras who struggled to make it through the drought with their reduced water allotments this summer, Horrell said. “As part of the grant, we’ll loan money to do on-farm improvements,” Horrell said. “We are committed to incentivizing the farmers to do better.” Prioritizing productive farms This is also the first year that COID had to reduce its water usage, and it shut off its water three weeks earlier than usual, Horrell said. It cut back by 20% and gave what was left to junior water rights holders, many of whom run

about whether to issue “incidental take” permits to the districts by the end of the year. These permits would allow them to continue to take actions that potentially negatively impact wildlife, even animals on the Endangered Species list. “By signing on to [the HCP], we are accountable,” Horrell said. “It gives the districts control, which tends to make environmental interests nervous... “We are proud that we have worked in a collaborative way with all stakeholders and look forward to implementing this conservation plan to help the river and species.” Meanwhile, Heisler and his team at COLW hope for the best. It worked with Crag Law Center, a firm with expertise on the ESA, to craft its comments on the HCP and help USFWS make an informed decision. “People lose site of the fact that the Deschutes River is the biggest spring-fed river in the United States, with spring water that is so cold and clean,” Heisler said. “This is a national treasure... It’s one of the reasons I fell in love with it and why I want to defend it today.” Listen to the rest of our interview with Heisler of COLW on the “Bend Don’t Break” podcast at bendsource.com

commercial agriculture operations in and around Madras, an area managed by the North Unit. While there’s no public documentation of COID’s reduction, Kyle Gorman, the region manager at the Oregon Water Resources Department, confirmed with the Source that COID reduced its use by an average of 20% in August and September, which freed up water for the North Unit. Heisler of COLW and other environmental advocates have stated that as climate change gets worse and there is less water to go around, farmers growing food in the North Unit should be prioritized over hobby farms and ranches around Bend that currently hold senior water rights. “COID has a different business model,” Horrell said. “We have 3,600 patrons from real farmers growing agricultural crops to small farms for horses… We as a district, we don’t get to choose to say what’s more beneficial. COID produces more revenue than all of the North Unit when you include the Old Mill and other businesses.” The irrigation districts submitted the first draft of the HCP in October 2019. USFWS received 1,500 comments from Central Oregon LandWatch supporters alone. Environmentalists argued the districts’ plans were not enough. USFWS may publish the final draft as early as Nov. 6. It will make its final decisions

Vote 2020: Tuesday Night Election Results

It was a night of big wins, big losses, and in some cases, a longer wait to find out the final result. This is where local, state and county races stood on Election Night

Bend and Deschutes County While the Bend City Council’s races are non-partisan, it’s safe to say that the newly elected city councilors in Bend represent a “Blue Wave” for Bend. While just 73.89% of votes had been counted by press time late Tuesday night, the Council races as they stood then show progressive candidates sweeping the election. Bend City Council Pos. 1 Melanie Kebler Kebler bested incumbent Justin Livingston in this race, with 61.59% of the votes to Livingston’s 38.11% Tuesday night. Bend City Council Pos. 2 – Anthony Broadman Broadman won handily over August Paul Johnson, with Broadman clocking in 79.91% of the votes as of Tuesday night. Bend City Council Pos. 3 – Megan Perkins Perkins had 53.51% of the votes over incumbent Chris Piper’s 38.22% in this race as of Tuesday night. Bend City Council Pos. 4 – Rita Schenkelberg Schenkelberg had 58.99% of the votes to Michael Hughes’ 31.44% Tuesday night. Deschutes County Commissioner – Phil Chang Democrat Phil Chang was ahead by 53.38% to incumbent Phil Henderson’s 46.53% Tuesday night. Deschutes County Sheriff – L. Shane Nelson Incumbent L. Shane Nelson appeared to be keeping his job as Sheriff, earning 55.60% of votes, compared to Scott Schaeir’s 44.03% as of Tuesday night. Oregon State Races The candidates vying for seats representing Bend and Central Oregon in the Oregon legislature saw some upsets Tuesday night, including a big win for Democratic challenger Jason Kropf in the House 54 race.

Darris Hurst

Oregon Senate District 27 – Too close to call Tuesday night. While Democrat Eileen Kiely was ahead with 50.34% of the votes, compared to Republican Incumbent Tim Knopp’s 49.51%, the race was still close Tuesday night. Oregon House District 53 – Jack Zika (R) Zika, the Republican incumbent in this race, won the race this year over Democratic challenger Emerson Levy, a relative newcomer to Central Oregon. Oregon House District 54 – Jason Kropf (D) Kropf’s win was apparent early on in this race, besting incumbent Cheri Helt (R ) following a race that was marked by a series of attack ads from Helt’s campaign. Helt announced late in the race that she would cease using attack ads— but by then it appears the damage was done. Helt conceded the race Tuesday night. Kropf, a current Bend Park and Recreation District board member, told the Source Tuesday that he would remain on the BPRD board, but was “99% sure” he would be leaving his post as Deputy District Attorney in Deschutes County. Attorney General – Ellen Rosenblum (D) Rosenblum took a commanding lead in this race early on. Oregon Secretary of State – Shemia Fagan (D) Fagan won the race over fellow Oregon legislator and Republican Kim Thatcher. “I want to thank Senator Kim Thatcher for a hard fought race,” Fagan stated Tuesday. “I am honored that a majority of the 2.3 million Oregonians who made their voices heard in this election have put their faith in me to be a Secretary of State for every Oregonian -- by continuing to make it easier to vote in Oregon, auditing state agencies so that our resources go to the people who need it most, and helping small businesses navigate this pandemic and succeed.” National races Oregon’s Congressional District 2 – Cliff Bentz (R) Long a Republican stronghold, the changing demographics of Central Oregon meant some held out hope that this seat in the U.S. Congress would flip to blue. It didn’t, and on Tuesday night, Oregon’s Right to Life supporters celebrated Bentz’s win. Oregon U.S. Senator – Jeff Merkley (D). Merkley won this handily over QAnon supporter Jo Rae Perkins.

A voter casts a last-minute ballot Tuesday afternoon.

*U.S. President/Vice President – Too close to call Tuesday night. Sigh. Breathe. Sleep. Repeat. Local Bonds/Measures Deschutes County Measure 9-134 Prohibition on New Pot Businesses The measure garnered 58.51% "No" votes and 41.49% "Yes" votes Tuesday night, thereby maintaining a ban on new pot operations in the county. Confused by the language of this measure? You're not the only one. Measure 9-135 – City of Bend Transportation Bond – PASSED Important transportation projects for the City of Bend will move forward, after voters passed this transportation bond. The tax increases won’t kick in until 2022—with the idea that we’ll be beyond the worst of the economic fallout from the pandemic by then. Measure 9-139 – Deschutes Public Library Bond – Likely passed. The Deschutes Public Library system may be able to move forward with expansions and a new Central Library, with 52.47% of voters in favor, compared to 47.53% voting no. State Ballot Measures Oregon voters passed a number of historic measures this election, voting in favor of creating a program for the clinical use of psilocybin, and decriminalizing all drugs in the state. Measure 107 – Campaign Finance Reform – PASSED The concept of reining in campaign cash is an exciting prospect, and while this measure gets Oregon closer to that, the Oregon state legislature still has to act on it and to create legislation to actually make this happen. Measure 108 - Vape Tax – PASSED This measure, adding more taxes onto vaping products, was a big win for health groups. “Oregon’s passage of

Measure 108 is good news for the health of Oregon’s youth, for the health of Oregonians, and for lung health,” wrote Harold P. Wimmer, National President and CEO of the American Lung Association. As of Jan. 1, e-cigarettes in Oregon will be taxed at a rate of 65% of the wholesale sales price and Oregon’s cigarette tax will be $3.33 per pack, a $2 increase from the previous tax. Taxes on premium cigars will also go up. Measure 109 – Clinical Use of Psilocybin – PASSED “Even before the pandemic, one in five adults in Oregon are struggling with mental health challenges, and that number is likely higher today,” said therapist Tom Eckert, chief petitioner for Measure 109, along with his wife, Sheri. “Now we can begin the two-year process of designing a safe new therapy that raises the bar for what’s possible in successful mental health treatment,” Sheri Eckert wrote Tuesday night. Measure 110 – Drug Decriminalization – PASSED “With so many lives touched by addiction and our state’s failure up to this point to properly deal with the crisis, voters proved they are eager stop ruining lives and start saving them,” said Janie Gullickson, co-chief petitioner of the measure and the Executive Director of the Mental Health and Addiction Association of Oregon. “This is such a big step in moving to a health-based approach instead of criminal punishment, and we’re devoting significant new resources to help Oregonians who need it.” Follow our ongoing coverage of the 2020 election by signing up for the Cascades Reader at bendsource.com/newsletters.

The Year of the Tailgate

With reserved parking, indoor restrictions at Mt. Bachelor, skiers and snowboarders will need to up their car-comfort game By Nicole Vulcan

arlier this fall, Mt. Bachelor announced its winter operations plan for the 2020-21 season—one that will be remembered as the year COVID-19 made everything change. Getting outdoors for some vigorous—or not-so-vigorous—exercise (while staying 6 feet from others) continues to be one of the ways to stay healthy throughout this pandemic, and at Mt. Bachelor, staying outdoors is going to be the name of the game throughout the season. Get your tailgate game on With lodges allowing people in on only a limited basis, this may finally be the year for powder hounds to dial in their tailgating game. The many Central Oregonians already living their best lives in their Sprinters will be fairly well set up for this change, having cozy places to sleep, eat and chill already inside their vans. But for those “lodge moms and dads” who have previously spent their time hoarding a gaggle of chairs and guarding kids’ snacks and warmies inside one of the lodges, adjustments are in order. People visiting Mt. Bachelor this year will need to “be prepared to warm and dine out of their vehicles, given reduced capacity limits in lodges and more limited dining and beverage options at resort venues,” reads a recent press release. For some, that might mean packing a portable fire pit—wood, gas or otherwise—and a handful of outdoor chairs. A portable gas fire pit or grill that isn’t hot to the touch will be more easily transportable when you’re ready to go home—meaning extra planning is in order to either extinguish the fire well ahead of time, or find a cool place to transport the pit or grill. Another consideration: Does that

tiny Subaru give you and all of the friends you’re encouraged to carpool with enough room to boot up and chillax at lunch time? For some, flipping down a back seat and adding a futon mattress or camping foam could offer the right amount of shelter and coziness. For others, it might mean your sister with the big Suburban gets to drive all season long, leaving your less-spacious sedan back in Bend. Naturally, more layers and blankets, along with a bigger selection of hand warmers, are going to be essential. In terms of food, investing in that bigger thermos for your hot drinks and soups is a good idea. In addition, Tailgater Magazine (yes, there is such a thing) recommends spicy foods as a way to keep warm. “When kicking up the heat of a recipe, keep the spice level at mild or medium; any hotter and you run the risk of causing the body to sweat, which means damp clothing – a must-avoid for cold days,” the magazine recommends in a story on the art of cold-weather tailgating. Another next-level tailgating tip: Bring a slow cooker filled with chili or other warm foods—powered by an inverter you’ve connected to your car, of course. Parking reservations at Mt. Bachelor On Nov. 9, Mt. Bachelor will begin allowing people to start making car reservations—something required for anyone visiting the mountain this season. (Yes, that goes for people doing laps on The Cone in the early morning, too.) Starting on that date, people can reserve parking for their cars for up to seven days of their choosing—so if you know you’re going to ski every Saturday, you might reserve for all the Saturdays after Dec. 7, when the mountain opens.

Take a "que" from these football tailgaters and get your parking-lot hangout game on at Mt. Bachelor this season.

Parking areas will be divided into Alpine and Nordic areas for those using different types of terrain. For those expecting to be at the mountain more than seven days, Mt. Bachelor advises, “Once the season begins, guests will also be able to book an unlimited amount of days in a rolling 7-day window. As advance days are used, guests will be able to book additional advance days, never holding more than seven advanced reservations.” One exception to that: Those who are of driving age and have the Outplay 365 pass—Bachelor’s year-round, multisport pass—will get a parking pass for the entire season. If you try to reserve parking and none is available, Mt. Bachelor encourages people to try again. Those who reserved and decided not to come are supposed to cancel their reservation by

7 am the day of the reservation. According to Mt. Bachelor, “Guests who make reservations and do not either cancel their reservation prior to the date, or do not use their reservation will lose their next priority booking. Repeat offenders may lose the ability to make advanced reservations.” Other changes for Mt. Bachelor In September, Mt. Bachelor announced other changes for the winter season, including a pause on the resort’s child care and “Ski or Ride in 5” offerings, no tubing park, no beginner lessons, no lessons for kids age six and under, and everyone must wear a mask while in and around the resort. Undoubtedly, snow riders will have plenty more questions about parking and riding this year. Mt. Bachelor has a lot more information at mtbachelor.com.

Winter Sanctuary

Riley Ranch offers a peaceful place for hiking, nature watching in winter and beyond By Laurel Brauns Courtesy Bend Parks & Rec

end Park & Recreation District builds new trails and parks all the time. If walking or running the same route has become a habit, change it up and adventure to another part of town to check out a new place. Riley Ranch Nature Reserve opened in 2017, so it might offer a new experience for some people. It’s located north of Awbrey Butte along the Deschutes River and features expansive open meadows, intricate lava flows, cliffs, rocky river canyons and juniper and pine forests. One of the highlights is the six-mile loop from the ranch to Tumalo State Park: Starting from the Riley Ranch trail head, keep making left turns (aside from viewpoints) before joining up with the Canyon Loop Trail which runs along the edge of the river for the last part of the trip. The 184-acre ranch was purchased from private owners with funds from the BPRD’s 2012 ($29 million) bond measure. It is the district’s largest property aside from Shevlin Park. Eventually the district will build a bridge across Archie Briggs Canyon, connecting Riley Ranch with the Deschutes River Trail and Sawyer Park. This is also a great spot for people who appreciate paved paths and soft-surface trails, whether for wheel chairs or other mobile devices. The

park’s Citizens Advisory Committee and board members decided to manage Riley Ranch differently, and bikes and dogs aren’t allowed. This helps preserve the natural experience and also creates a place for people who aren’t as comfortable around dogs and bikes. The quiet atmosphere also may increase opportunities for observing wildlife including red-tailed hawk, great

horned owl, mule deer, coyote, bobcat, Northern Pacific tree frog, Rocky Mountain elk and black-tailed jackrabbit. The district posted interpretive signs at each overlook with information about the ecosystem, geology and the history of the ranch. Check out the ruins of two historic cabins which were likely constructed before the turn of the 20th century, according to one sign.

Another new spot also worth a special trip is a new mural the district commissioned between Discovery Park (in NorthWest Crossing) and Shevlin Park. The underpass under Skyline Ranch Road features stencil art images of accomplished women throughout history, created by local artist Douglas Robertson. Bring your friends and debate about who they missed.

Carpet Lift, More Night Skiing Ahead for Hoodoo Spread out the ski love this season with more time for after-work rides By Nicole Vulcan

Courtesy Hoodoo

Hoodoo skiers can get in their after-dark turns this season while newbies can ride the new carpet lift, shown at left.

oodoo Ski Area has some new features ahead for its winter season— including a feature that may make it more attractive for new riders or kids. Hoodoo announced this week that it has installed a new, 200-foot-long carpet lift near its Easy Rider lift. “This will be particularly useful for younger guests taking lessons, as well as others just learning how to move on snow,” a release from Hoodoo stated. The resort also announced that it has added a day to its night skiing offerings. Night skiing is available from Wednesday through Saturday, with 23 night runs for riders to enjoy. Hoodoo’s pass options this year include a five lift ticket “Anycard” that can be used any day, with no restrictions. In addition, season passes are at early-season prices through Nov. 30. As with other resorts, masks will be required, and the resort will have “simplified food offerings,” such as grab and go, compared to past years. The resort plans to open when it has enough snow, but that date is still TBD. Get all the info at skihoodoo.com.

Stewards of the Snowshoe Trails

A dedicated group of snowshoers with the Central Oregon Nordic Club maintains winter trails at sno-parks in the Cascades By Damian Fagan

Disclaimer: As we all know by now… these are unprecedented times. Many classic winter events are postponed or canceled as we head into the snowy season. Here are the events we know are happening and updates on ones that are still up in the air.

I Like Pie Thanksgiving Run/Walk Mon., Nov. 23- Sun., Nov. 29, 2020 This traditional running event is going virtual this year. Register online and grab your small group to complete this race anytime between Nov. 23-29. Prizes will still be awarded for the creative group pictures, best costumes and more.

thought would be interesting to other snowshoers. DeCook said after the route was flagged, the Forest Service would inspect it and make any recommendations before approving the trail. Then the volunteers would install trail markers and keep the trail clear of deadfall. Though Davis initially paid for sign supplies out of his own pocket, the Central Oregon Nordic Club pitched in to support the work and purchase aluminum nails and trail markers. After Meissner, the group had installed trails at Swampy, Edison, and Todd Lake sno-parks by 2008. At the time, and it may still be the case, the DNF was the only national forest with a dedicated snowshoe trail system. With the support of the CONC and a solid volunteer base, Davis decided he needed to pass the maintenance torch on, as he was then in his early 80s. Bob Timmer, who met Davis in 2013, agreed to head up the crew. “Through the years, there have probably been some 60 folks that have volunteered,” said Timmer. Most of the Central Oregon Nordic Club

In their snowy elements, volunteers work on installing trail markers.

volunteers were older retirees, and some have slowed down due to their age. “It is tough carrying a cross-cut or pole saw on snowshoes,” added Timmer. Though the Forest Service trail crew helps out when they can, most of the work is done by the volunteers. Timmer keeps a log of the hours and work done by the volunteers. In addition to a pre-season sweep that identifies work to be done, weekly outings during the winter season focus on new blowdowns or other issues. The crew maintains the trails to Class 2 standards, meaning clearing is limited to the removal of blowdown and brush that extends 12 inches or more above the ground. During low-snow levels, snowshoers may find they need to step over downed logs left in the trail for this reason. Not satisfied with just regular trail clearing, Timmer and his core of a dozen volunteers or so installed You Are Here maps at junctions along the Meissner snowshoe loop in 2016. The maps reflect the increased usage of the trail by “first-timers,” and are especially helpful since paper maps are no longer available at trail kiosks. The group expanded these maps to Swampy’s Porcupine trail in 2018. “I have noticed that the popularity of snowshoeing has increased exponentially over the last few years, not just on the Deschutes but on many other forests,” said Jessie Larson, DNF trail volunteer coordinator. “I think people enjoy coming over to the Deschutes because CONC does such an amazing job at maintaining our trails.” Next time you’re out snowshoeing at an area sno-park, give a nod to the man who established these trails and the crew that keeps them open. Better yet, donate or volunteer to help out. Visit the Central Oregon Nordic Club at conordicclub.org for more info.

Oregon WinterFest

Fate unknown... The annual three-day celebration of winter in Central Oregon may not happen this year. Things are still uncertain, but the event is considered postponed indefinitely due to statewide restrictions on large gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We hope that this event (put on by the Source’s sister company) can be revived, and we’ll keep you updated with the latest!

s winter approaches, a crew of snowshoe trail maintenance volunteers on the Deschutes National Forest has already been out assessing trail stewardship needs along 23.5 miles of trails. The group maintains spots for snowshoers at various sno-parks along the Cascades Lakes Highway. Having so many miles of dedicated snowshoe trails is relatively rare on national forest lands. The wintertime volunteers provide an important service by keeping the dedicated snowshoe trails up to par: brushing trails, cutting out blowdown and posting signs—and they all do it for free. The motivator behind the snowshoe trails is Dr. James “Jim” Davis, better known to some as “Dr. Snowshoe.” Davis and his wife, Deana, retired to Bend in the late 1980s. A family physician in Milwaukie, Oregon, Davis was an avid skier, cyclist, hiker and snowshoer who would spend some of his winter days exploring the sno-parks along the Cascades Lake Highway by snowshoe. At that time, only cross-country ski trails existed in the areas, and some skiers didn’t appreciate the “shoers” tramping on their tracks. “Jim had a map and compass and he’d follow the terrain,” said Fred DeCook, a relative of Davis’ who also retired to Bend and became involved in the snowshoe trail project. Davis found that others followed his trails, so he approached the U.S. Forest Service about creating dedicated snowshoe trails at the sno-parks. The Forest Service agreed, with one caveat: Davis would do most of the work. Davis recruited friends, and with some input from the USFS, the group began with the loop at Virginia Meissner Sno-Park. Volunteers would follow the terrain and flag a route they

earing about new bands or artists in Central Oregon is the best news. So when Faded Rituals reached out to introduce its musical project and first single, this music writer was stoked. Faded Rituals is a duo made up of Nick Byron Campbell and Kevin Theodore. As Campbell tells it, the two started making music together around three years ago, during a late night jam sesh. The two previously met during an artist residency in Oakland, California, and while Theodore was out West visiting, they decided to make some music for fun. The rest is history, as they say. “What started as a casual hang turned into one of the most productive sessions of my life. We knocked out the basis for four songs in a few hours and haven’t stopped since then,” recalls Campbell. “Since we both are involved in various artistic endeavors and live far apart, the project took a long time to get from that night to today. During the time between, I moved with my two-year-old, wife and dog to Bend.” Campbell sings, plays guitar, drums and bass, while Theodore (now based in Los Angeles) plays keys, synths and programs beats for Faded Rituals’ intricate and almost dream-sounding production. Campbell says the two are excited to get to play their first shows in Bend once things are safer for everyone, but notes the pandemic hasn’t blown the pair’s creativity. They have been working on opposite coasts for the duration of their partnership, so making music together remotely is natural for Faded Rituals. The debut song from the duo is titled “Summertime Forever,” which Campbell describes as a “tongue-andcheek song about being in denial during what can feel like the end times/catastrophic climate change.”

“It wasn’t necessarily intentional. Generally, political and environmental issues float around my mind whether I want them to or not (that can probably be said for many of us in 2020). And so these issues tend to pop up in my lyrics. The song started as an instrumental piece driven by beats and progressions that Kevin wrote. It had a laid back, summery feel to it,” says Campbell. “I started playing with that lyrically and at some point this idea of kicking back and enjoying an endless summer popped into my mind. In decades past that might have sounded like an ode to eternal youthfulness or something, but in our current context the idea took on a sinister undertone—relaxing through a climate apocalypse, enjoying the warmer weather despite what that weather means in reality.” The song is both chilling and beautiful at the same time. There’s a softness to it that provides that sense of eeriness to back the meaning behind the lyrics, and paired together with Campbell’s high-pitched vocals, “Summertime Forever” comes out as a great ambient-pop song and great debut from the duo. Keep your eyes out for Faded Rituals’ name, as the pair brings a brand of electronic music not often popularized here in Central Oregon. The group even has an EP in the works we might be seeing sooner than later. “The EP is nearly finished. One last piece of music is being mixed now,” Campbell hinted. “So really, it’s just about deciding how to get it into the world, which is usually the hardest part of making music! We will likely release a single a month until it’s all out there. Then perhaps it’s time to start work on the next batch of songs.” Listen to “Summertime Forever” on Apple Music, Spotify or Soundcloud.

Author Sara Rishforth is happy to report good news on the local food front.

markets. They also started growing vegetables and fruits, expanding beyond goat and lamb products. SW: Let’s talk about our local "food economy" in this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic. SR: I think this time has shifted perspectives. The Northwest Crossing farmers market devised a one-way system to control foot traffic through the market. They wanted you to come to the market but they also wanted you to realize it can no longer be a social hour. People had their list and one person shopped instead of two or more. In thinking about food trucks, it seems there has been opportunity during this time. Sunny Yoga, who was featured in “Bend Food” now has a food truck. People are flocking to their truck and other trucks because they feel safer sitting outside. Customers are noticing things like staff wiping down tables constantly and thinking, “OK, I can enjoy my food and don’t have to be so concerned.” SW: It seems like many of us have pandemic stories of what we’ve done with more time at home and more time on our hands; how about you? SR: My husband and I did have a lot of time on our hands in the spring and summer, so 12 raspberry starts from Fields Farm (also featured in “Bend Food”) was

our first purchase when we decided to start a garden. We also had cucumbers, radishes, flowers and potatoes, among other things. Thirty-one potato plants— which, looking back, was probably too much! But it was fun to share potatoes with family and friends. It took two weeks for us to harvest all those potatoes! SW: Do you have other food writing projects in the works? SR: I haven’t been writing much other than writing letters with a friend in Anacortes (Washington). I got tired of my own cooking, and so did my friend, so every letter that we send we share two to three recipes. We write out the recipes in the letters, making a few notes about each one. But we’ll see what winter brings. Writing a book might be a good project during that time. SW: Final thoughts? SR: I think it’s important to be flexible and respectful during these times and to try and support local farmers and restaurants as you can, by perhaps going to Locavore right when they open or getting take-out to enjoy at home, if you prefer not to eat out. “Bend Food – Stories of Local Farms and Kitchens” available at:

entral Oregon author Sara Rishforth has written two books of fiction, as well as the 2018 nonfiction, “Bend Food – Stories of Local Farms and Kitchens.” Local food podcaster/stylist Donna Britt catches up with Rishforth in this Q&A. Source Weekly: Please give us a synopsis of your book “Bend Food – Stories of Local Farms and Kitchens.” Sara Rishforth: It’s about the local farm-to-table boom; how it’s growing and expanding between farmers and restaurants. The book shows how the local movement goes beyond a few farmers markets. For example, how local restaurants may do something such as inviting a local rancher in to talk about their practices, the cattle they raise, etc. SW: Do you have any updates on any of the farms/kitchens featured in the book that you’d like to share? SR: As I was typing up notes for this interview, I was looking through the chapters and thinking about all these people who have expanded or diversified or who mentioned a goal in our interview (for the book) who have now reached their goal. Take, for example, Dump City Dumplings. One of first interviews I did was with Dump City owner Dan Butters, who said they’d love to have a storefront someday. They also had another goal of figuring out how to sell dumplings frozen for customers to take home. Now, two years later, Dump City has a storefront and they recently launched a line of frozen products. Golden Eagle Organics mentioned (in the book) that they wanted to have a booth at a farmers market. Since then, they’ve had booths at both the downtown Bend and the Northwest Crossing farmers

Films SCREEN Revolutionary You say you want a revolution? Here are some films focused on ones real and imagined

By Jared Rasic

“They Live” (1988) Starring the immortal Rowdy Roddy Piper, “They Live” shows alien conquerors who took over Earth without ever firing a shot. They run the media and just about everything else, so it takes a homeless drifter already removed from society to begin the revolution. Thirty years since its release, this movie is more relevant than ever as there become newer and more insidious ways for those in power to try to get us to obey. Classic Line: “They are dismantling the sleeping middle class. More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.”

Wow. Pokemon Go got seriously dark.

“Battleship Potemkin” (1925) When the already poorly treated crew of the Battleship Potemkin is served rotten borscht for dinner, they start a mutiny and overthrow their superiors. Easily one of the top 50 movies ever made and still visually breathtaking after almost 100 years, “Potemkin” changed the way cinema was crafted forever. The 2005 restoration must be seen by anyone in love with film and in the mood to get fired up over historical injustices. Classic Line: “Smash the dragons!” “The Blue Kite” (1993) Banned in China to this day, “The Blue Kite” focuses on a young boy growing up during the Anti-Rightist Campaign and the Cultural Revolution in the

1950s and ‘60s. By showing the culture of fear and paranoia rampant at the time, the film breaks down ideological excess in a way that’s universal for any political party to understand and hopefully empathize with. A depressing, somber and entirely unforgettably essential film. Classic Line: “Who is this Stalin person?” “Sunshine” (1999) Starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz, “Sunshine” follows five generations of a Hungarian Jewish family from the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through the 1956 revolution, all the way to the end of communism in Hungary in 1989. This under-seen masterpiece contextualizes historical trauma in a way I’d never considered before and should be devoured by fans of “The English Patient.”

Classic Line: “Politics has made a mess of our lives.” “The Battle of Algiers (1966) Focused on The Algerian War of Independence, this massive feat of Italian Neorealism is still one of the finest war films ever made. The focus on urban guerrilla warfare combined with the documentary feel of the filmmaking makes this an intense and harrowing film still to this day. The Criterion Collection restoration and release from 2004 makes the film look like it could have come out yesterday. Classic Line: “It’s hard to start a revolution. Even harder to continue it. And hardest of all to win it. But, it’s only afterwards, when we have won, that the true difficulties begin”

very November 5, for Guy Fawkes day (or for, you know, an intense U.S. election) I start feeling a little wily and dream about starting a revolution. Not like a violent one or even one that involves transfers of power or me taking office of some kind, but a revolution centered around free pancakes for all or the consolidation of all student debt. You know, the big things. Normally when my revolution bug gets bitey, I watch “V For Vendetta” and get weird with it, but I think I’ve officially watched that one too many times, since I’ve now memorized the moments when the actors breathe. So, I went on a hunt for some new movies about the people rising up and speaking truth to power. Sadly, there are no movies about the dream of free pancakes, but here’s a few revolutionary movies I found instead.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Fickle-Down Economics I’m a 29-year-old straight wom-

an. I recently came to the odd conclusion that I have no idea what I want in a man. Over the past few years, I’ve been dating a variety of guys and hoping they’ll be right for me, and it’s not working. Some turn out to be nice guys, but some turn out to be jerks. One turned out to be a truly terrible person, but in hindsight, all were obviously wrong for me. In each case, the underlying problems were always there, but I didn’t identify them until things blew up months into the relationship or even a year in. How can I get clear on what I want? -—Lost Looking for a boyfriend without knowing what you want in a man is like trying to order a meal without knowing what you like to eat: whether you live to put bacon on your bacon or you’re a vegan who stifles a sob whenever your mom cracks an egg for your dad’s omelet. Standards are our tool for narrowing down what we want, from lunch to love. In love, it’s important to shrink down your potential partner pool, but without setting such high standards (per your own mate value and the current mate “market”) that the only boyfriend or girlfriend you’ll ever have is the imaginary kind. Though we tend to view having more options -“Sky’s the limit!” “The more, the merrier!” -- as better than having just two or a handful to choose from, research actually finds that having numerous options is often the stuff human misery is made of. Perhaps because the psychology currently driving us evolved in environments where situations rarely offered more than a few choices -- “Bison breast or drumstick?” “Eat this bug or starve?” -- research on decision-making has found we are unprepared for huge sets of options. We tend to suffer “choice overload”: We get overwhelmed, choose poorly, and regret our choice afterward. However, there’s a caveat. More choice can be better, explains psychologist Benjamin Scheibehenne and his colleagues, when, prior to making a choice, a person has “well-defined preferences.” That’s where standards come in. Our standards for what we want in another person come in large part out

of our values, though personality and genetics also play a role. Values are the principles we care most about: the standards we use to guide our behavior. Though most of us probably think of ourselves as good people with good values, the truth is, if asked to quickly name our values, we’d struggle to do it. Being unable to immediately call up our guiding principles means when we need to act quickly, we’re often clueless about what we should do, and we’re prone to act in ways we end up regretting. Spelling out your top eight or 10 values will give you a behavioral map: guiding principles for how you’ll act and, ultiAmy Alkon mately, who you are. To write your list, you might look up “lists of values” online. Here are a few of mine (not in any order): 1. Courage. 2. Wisdom. 3. Kindness. 4. Integrity. ... 10. Seizing life (instead of blinking like a cow while it rushes by). The person you want to be shapes the sort of person you should be with. For example, per my list of values, integrity is vitally important to me. So, when I came up with my standards for romantic partners -- my “must-haves” for any man in my life -integrity was baked in: “Tall, evolved man of character who thinks for a living and cares about making a difference in the world.” Likewise spelling out your standards for a romantic partner and vowing to stick to them should help you extract yourself when you’re magnetized by a Mr. Tall, Dark, and Manipulative: some hunky charismatic creep whose hotitude acts as a sort of sexual eclipse, blocking out what a terrible person he is. Assuming you include integrity in some form on your list, turning to your “must-haves” on a date forces you to look for evidence of good character, and when that’s missing, you’ll nix the guy and move on. Of course, being clear on your values and narrowing down what you want in a man won’t always be enough. There are some clever sociopaths out there who are pros at hiding who they really are. Coming up with standards for character might not allow you to identify all dignity-crushing exploiters immediately. However, you should be able to do it much faster than with a more “open-minded,” hope-driven approach: “Sorry, but I really have to draw the line at dating a man with a tail!”

Winter + Whitewater

Books to inspire your love for all things river and ocean—no matter what the winter weather might bring

GO HERE By Nicole Vulcan

Eric Jordan

s the warm autumn winds wind down in the high desert, many are shifting from choice summer outdoor activities to favorite cold-weather ones. After the paddlers roll up the rafts and tuck them in for a long winter’s rest, this reading list can serve as a winter holdover. These whitewater can’t-miss selections will get paddlers through the many sleepless nights, until sweetness of spring floods return. “Amazon Woman” by Darcy Gaechter @darcygaechter and @smallworldadv (her guide company in South America)

Niche whitewater genre: First descent expedition, whitewater kayak, sea to summit Waterway: Amazon River In this riveting memoir, Darcy Gaechter describes the highs and lows of her three-person expedition down the Amazon River. As the first woman to navigate this often-remote waterway in its entirety via kayak (and as a vegan), she experiences many challenges. Obtaining travel permissions, border crossings, avoiding clashes with guerrilla warriors, coming to terms with a life of adventure kayaking over adulting and playing mediator between the two other relentlessly squabbling expedition members, all while paddling the hardest whitewater of her life. You could say Gaechter had her hands full. “Downriver: Into the Future of Water in the West” by Heather Hansman @hhansman Niche whitewater genre: Solo packraft expedition, narrative journalism Waterway: Green River A former raft guide and talented environmental writer/reporter, Heather

Hansman solo paddles the Green River while unpacking a murky history of water rights in the West. Hansmen commingles long periods alone in her packraft with colorful conversations had with farmers, city officials and fellow boaters. Navigating 730 miles from source to confluence on the most significant tributary of the Colorado River, she considers the many uses, users and perspectives of the surrounding water that transports her and how it became so overtaxed. For those knowledgeable or concerned about water rights in Central Oregon, enjoy this read.

account of a whitewater journey gone awry. To begin, she launches during off the charts high water on the Selway River, home of yearly spring floods and the nearby Lochsa Madness whitewater festival. Her partner in crime on the trip is an experienced heart-throb boater. Day one goes well. The crux on day two goes well. Then a lost bail bucket and raft combine and crescendo into big whitewater swims. You’ll wish this story was a whole book by the end of the chapter. Anyone who rafts in Idaho keeps this classic text tattered at the ready in their dry box.

“Paddling North” by Audrey Sutherland Niche whitewater genre: Solo sea kayaking tour/expedition, inflatable kayak Waterway: Inside Passage, Alaska At age 60, after many adventures swimming from island to island in her home state of Hawaii, Audrey Sutherland embarks on a solo voyage to paddle the inside passage in Alaska. Quietly confident in her own abilities, she takes

“The Sun is a Compass” by Caroline Van Hemert @sunisacompass Niche whitewater genre: Multisport and paddle craft expedition, adventure romance, natural science/ ornithology Waterway: Oceans and rivers in Alaska College sweethearts, Caroline Van Hemert and her partner embarked on many adventures together before they decided to travel 4,000 miles by rowboat, ski, foot, raft and canoe from the rainforests of the Pacific to the Alaskan Arctic. As an environmentalist and ornithologist, unique and thoughtful avian observations and metaphors are aplenty. Sensing subtle energy, reading between the lines and the sweetness Hemert shares with her longtime partner on the expedition made for a Harlequin-light, adventure romance, softcore subtheme. Top pick for lonely winter nights.

Bonus track:

an off-brand under-suited inflatable kayak and paddles all 850 miles from Ketchikan to Skagway without wearing a life jacket. While sharing a daily playby-play of animal encounters, camp recipes, foraging finds, weather and more, the reader is transported aside Sutherland on the whole journey. Sutherland passed away in 2015. RIP. “Cowboys Are My Weakness” by Pam Houston @pamlhouston Niche whitewater genre: Bucket boat multi day rafting, whitewater flood stage romance Waterway: Selway River A collection of backcountry essays detailing Pam Houston’s outdoor adventures. Chapter 2 shares a can’t-miss

“Airmail” by Pam Houston and Amy Irvine Niche genre: New Release, conservation, outdoors, politics

The puck stops here - no hockey leagues this season.

Ice skating—like nearly everything—looks a little different this winter season The “ice sports” season began this week at The Pavilion in Bend—but like most activities during this pandemic year, things will operate differently. Among the biggest changes for this season: Hockey, a popular sport among Bendites young and old, won’t be available in league form at all this year, since it’s considered a contact sport by the Oregon Health Authority, according to Bend Park and Recreation District. People can still attend “skills and drills” hockey sessions, however, and BPRD is also offering “learn to play” hockey and skate sessions throughout the season. The Adult Curling League remains open this year. For those looking to go ice skating, skate sessions are available every day, and face masks are required. With a more limited capacity this year, BPRD is recommending people make reservations for skating sessions, including its Family Skate, Cheap Skate and Parent-Tot Skate sessions ahead of time, via website or phone. Reservations are open up to 15 minutes before a particular session. Due to COVID-19 precautions, The Pavilion will not offer concessions or storage lockers, and its indoor viewing area is closed to the public. Reservations and league registrations are available at bendparksandrec.org. Bend Curling Club

Curling is still a go during the pandemic.

Practical Home Renovations Balance cosmetic and essential maintenance upgrades

Enhance Curb Appeal - This is the first view everyone sees and a buyer’s first impression. Tidy up landscaping, touch up paint, add a new front door with an exciting color or install new garage doors. Upgrades in Important Rooms - If doing a minor remodel, it’s OK to spend less when possible, but don’t cut corners. Instead of installing fancy steam showers or high-end appliances while skimping in another area, balance it out and complete all necessary tasks with reasonably priced materials. Reduce Maintenance Hassles Replacing essential items that are past their average lifespan like roofing, siding, HVAC and water heaters will have a great return on investment and set the home apart from other less-maintained homes. Efficiency Upgrades - Install lowwater-use toilets and plumbing fixtures. Adding insulation to walls, attics and floors can help the home feel more comfortable, while using less energy and reducing outside noise pollution. Highly efficient Energy Star-certified appliances, a Smart thermostat and wifi-controlled home devices can all help reduce energy consumption. Touring many homes with buyers offers great insight into the mind of the buyer. Curb appeal, beautiful and functional kitchens, bathrooms and master bedrooms are where to put the money. These items will help a homebuyer fall in love with the home. A new HVAC system, roof, siding and fresh paint will tell the buyer that this home will help protect their investment and offer worry-free ownership.

ome renovations have continually gained popularity, indicated by the hundreds of remodeling and fixer-upper shows that have families dreaming and planning for changes they’d love to make to their own homes. Updating, upgrading, remodeling and renovations are words thrown around endlessly in the real estate industry. However, each of these are specific to what the work consists of. There are light cosmetic upgrades, such as interior painting, a beautiful kitchen backsplash or pop of color on the front door, to the unseen, but important utilitarian upkeep like burying a french drain around the perimeter of the home to draw water away from the structure. Some certain, more costly maintenance items are easy to ignore and may seem inconsequential. While they definitely lack the same sort of visual appeal and gratification of some projects, replacing a roof or HVAC system will provide a sense of security and assurance that your home is well cared for. To prepare for home projects, start by making a list of project goals, wants and needs. There’s a different approach to planning, whether a homeowner is simply wanting to add cosmetic touches to a home or preparing it for sale. If the intention is to create a more personalized home that will be lived in for years, then use of colors, finishes and making spaces specific to the homeowner’s needs is most important. If the goal is to sell the home and see the highest return on investment, the best approach is to appeal to the broader masses.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “At every crossroad,

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Known as “the bad boy of bridge,” Aquarian-born Geir Helgemo is a champion in the card game of bridge. At times he has been the top-rated player among Open World Grand Masters. But in 2019, he was suspended from the World Bridge Federation for a year because he tested positive for taking testosterone supplements that are banned. Why did he do it? He hasn’t said. There is some scientific research suggesting that testosterone may boost cognitive function, but other evidence says it doesn’t. I’d like to use Helgemo’s foolishness as a teaching story for your use, Aquarius. According to my astrological analysis, you’re approaching the peak of your competence and confidence. There’s no need for you to cheat or sneak or misbehave in a misplaced effort to seek an even greater advantage. In fact, righteous integrity will enhance your intelligence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I might really have gone round the bend,” confessed Botswana author Bessie Head. “I mean people who get visions and see a gigantic light descend on them from the sky can’t be all there, but if so I feel mighty happy. If one is happy and cracked it’s much better than being unhappy and sane.” Although I don’t expect your state of mind in the coming weeks will be as extreme as Bessie Head’s, Pisces, I do suspect it will have resemblances to her dreamy cheerfulness. If I had to give a title to this upcoming phase, it might be “Wise Folly.” And yes, I do think your “craziness” will generate useful insights and fertile revelations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Charles Baudelaire championed the privilege and luxury of changing one’s mind. He thought it was natural and healthy to always keep evolving beyond one’s previous beliefs and attitudes, even if that meant one might seem inconsistent or irrational. “It is lamentable,” he once proclaimed, “that, among the Rights of Human Beings, the right to contradict oneself has been disregarded.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, dear Aries, so that you will feel at peace with the prospect of outgrow-

write are my love letters to you. As I compose them, my goal is to celebrate your beauty and strength even as I discern what’s lacking in your life and what confusions might be undermining you. In my philosophy of life, that’s how love works at its best: remaining keenly aware of the good qualities in the beloved while helping them deal with their problems and heal their wounds. I suggest that in the coming weeks you adopt my approach for use with your own close relationships. Your allies are in special need of both your praise and your rectifications.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When Charles de Gaulle was 15 years old, he wrote “General de Gaulle,” a short story in which he envisioned himself, many years in the future, as a general in the French army. Thirty-five years later, his imaginary tale came true, as he became a general of the free French army fighting against Germany in World War II. In the spirit of de Gaulle’s prophecy, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you to compose a comparable tale about your own destiny. Have fun as you visualize in great detail a successful role you will play months or even years from now.

CANCER (June 21July 22): In 1903, archaeologists digging in a cave in Cheddar Gorge, England found the fossilized remains of “Cheddar Man,” a person who had lived there 9,000 years earlier. In 1997, DNA tests revealed that a teacher named Adrian Targett, who was living a halfmile from the cave, was a direct descendant of Cheddar Man. I propose that we invoke this scenario to serve as a metaphor for you in the coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, your ancestors are likely to play a bigger role in your life than usual. Connections between you and them will be more vivid and influential and worthy of your meditations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the film Amadeus, composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) and Antonio Salieri (1750–1825) were adversaries who disliked and undermined each other. But there’s evidence that this was not entirely true. In fact, they collaborated on creating a cantata that was performed by Nancy Storace, a famous singer they both admired. It’s unlikely they would have cooperated in such a way unless they had a working relationship. I suspect that a comparable correction is due in your world, Leo. It’s time to dissolve a misunderstanding or restore a lost truth or fix an old story that got some of the facts wrong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to ask for help and seek support. I urge you to be forthright in doing so! Resources that have been inaccessible before may be more available now. I suspect you will be able to capitalize on the luck and skill of allies who have benefited from your favors in the past. Their successes could bring you blessings and their breakthroughs should inspire you to instigate breakthroughs in your own life. Be straightforward: Ask them to lend their influence in your behalf.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the 1970s, an Englishman named Stephen Pile founded the Not Terribly Good Club. It was designed to be a gathering place for mediocre people whose lives were marked by inadequacy and incompetence. To organize his thoughts about the club’s themes, Pile eventually published a book entitled The Book of Heroic Fallures. Unfortunately, it sold so many copies that he got expelled from his own club. He had become too successful! I suspect that in the coming months, you may have an experience akin to his. The odds are good that you’ll find interesting success in an area of your life where you have previously been just average.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Musician John Coltrane described one of his life goals as follows: “There are forces out here that bring suffering to others and misery to the world,” he said. “But I want to be the opposite force. I want to be the force which is truly for good.” Even if that’s not an intention at the core of your long-term plans, Capricorn, I recommend you consider adopting it during the next few weeks. Being a vigorous and rigorous force for good will be especially needed by the people with whom you associate—and will also result in you attracting interesting benefits.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Actor Gary Busey is quirky and kooky, but his peculiar rants sometimes make good sense. Here’s one that I suspect might be useful for you to consider during the next two weeks: “It’s good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.” I don’t mean to imply that your adversaries and nemeses are totally accurate in their critiques of you. But there may be a thing or two you can learn from them right now that would truly improve your life.

be prepared to bump into wonder,” wrote Scorpio poet James Broughton. I believe that’s stirring advice for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. Broughton’s words inspired me to come up with a corollary for you to heed, as well: “At every turning point, be ready to stumble into an opportunity disguised as a problem.” I’ve got one more clue for you. Last night in my dream, my Scorpio poetry teacher offered a thought that’s well-suited for you right now: “Whenever you want to take a magic twisty leap into the big fresh future, be willing to engage in one last wrestling match with the past.”

Bend budtenders offer their recommendations for relaxing after Nov. 3

Bend budtenders have some relaxing recommendations to curb post-election stress.

GET YOUR

s the final election results pour in over the next week, the anxiety of an uncertain future or undecided races may make it hard to turn off at the end of the day. The Source contacted budtenders from some of our favorite dispensaries in Bend to hear what they recommended for post-election stress. One enduring recommendation was to find strains that lean toward the Indica side, which are physically sedating and relaxing and may also help with sleep. Read on to find out what else these pot professionals recommended to both relax and let loose in the coming weeks ahead.

Tokyo Pro Shred Nora Beck

Do not operate a vehicle or machinery under the influence of this drug. For use by adults 21 years of age and older. Keep out of the reach of children.

Rich Bassett – Jenny’s Dispensary Rich Bassett, a budtender at Jenny’s Dispensary on NE Third Street, told the Source he didn’t think it was a good idea for cannabis to be mixed with politics… but if we have to go there, the Obama Kush fits with the theme. It’s heavy on the Indica, which can produce both calm or celebration, depending on your reaction to the election results. According to Leafly.com, an online directory of cannabis strains and brands, this strain “appropriately channels the former President’s famous message of ‘change’ as it invigorates and inspires, providing a cerebral stimulation and a euphoric rush.” Bassett also suggested other Kush strains like Wedding Cake, which is a topshelf offering at Jenny’s, he said. The dispensary also carries medicinal soda by the Bend-based company Magic Number: It’s a great drink to bring to a party if you feel like living it up once the election results are in. The drinks come in a variety of different strengths depending on the kind of high you're looking for, but be warned, the effects don’t kick in for at least 30 minutes. Anthony Torres, Substance Cannabis Dispensary Anthony Torres, a budtender at Substance Cannabis Dispensary, recommended Bonkers, a strain created by crossing a Lemon Tree mother and a Cookies and Cream father. Torres said

it’s a euphoric, fruity strain with a lemon and cream flavor and results in a toned-down high. The uplifting effects come from a balanced split between THC and other cannabinoids, he said. Torres also recommended Mellow Gron gummies, which have a 2:1 ratio of Cannabinol (CBN) to THC. CBN is one of over 100 known cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant that appears when the flower is exposed to UV light, heat and oxygen, and begins to decarbonate, Torres explained. The effect is relaxed and uplifting, and with some pain-relieving properties, too. It’s good for “mellowing out” before bed, he said. Noelle Green - CannaVida Noelle Green, a budtender at CannaVida, also recommended CBN for post-election anxiety. She moved to Bend from Orange County a year and a half ago, and said it’s sold as an isolate in southern California, but in Oregon it usually comes as a hybrid with some THC. She touted its sedative properties, which could help people to stay calm if say, for instance, the race for President is still up in the air long after Election Day. For a full-body relaxation, she suggested the Indica-dominant Don Mega strain, produced by Rosebud growers in Portland. It’s a cross between the GMO and Black Banana strains and is “very heavy on the body sedation and body relaxation as well as some uplifting, mindful effects,” she said. For people who prefer Sativa strains, Green recommended Pineapple Fields, which has “energizing, clear-headed attributes,” according to Leafly.com. It also has a strong terpene profile. Terpenes are aromatic oils (often found in essential oils) that come from the same glands that produce cannabinoids. They offer distinct flavors like berry, mint, pine and citrus. Some of these, such as limonene and linolool, have slight psychoactive effects that are relaxing and uplifting, which might help you get through the day if your preferred candidate doesn't win.
