115 NW Sisemore St. | Bend

If you’re concerned about the state of representative democracy, it should concern you that the Republican senators of the Oregon State Legislature are opting to stay away from the Capitol in the name of opposing a bill aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. The 11 senators—which include Sen. Tim Knopp, who represents Bend and the surrounding area, say the Cap and Invest legislation, already passed in the Oregon House, will do damage to manufacturing and timber jobs.

Proponents of the bill say HB 2020 will actually grow Oregon’s economy. Under a similar Cap and Trade bill, California’s economy grew from the 8th-largest world economy to 5th-largest over the past decade, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. In a well-functioning legislature, senators make their arguments, cast votes and go home to their districts to hear if they made the right decisions. Come election time, they get a real-time performance review. That’s doesn’t seem to be how Oregon Republicans operate.

Unfortunately, Knopp believes that rather than serving his entire district that his role as a senator is to serve Republicans. Here are some of the comments he made to the Oregonian last week, which should give voters in this district pause.

In a story published on OregonLive Thursday, Knopp said, “I feel no constitutional obligation to stand around so they [Democrats] can pass their leftist progressive agenda for Multnomah County that my constituents don’t happen to agree with,” Knopp stated. “I think that’s true for every other Senate district that’s out there that’s represented

by Republicans.”

Leaving aside the fact that the other members of the Democratic majority in the Senate are from all across Oregon, let’s look at Knopp’s district. The number of Knopp’s consituents who are Republicans are actually outnumbered by Democrats. According to Oregon Centralized Voter Registration information, there were 32,243 registered Democrats in Senate District 27 as of June 3, along with 31,280 Republicans and 35,773 non-affiliated voters. One would assume, upon taking the position as Senator, Knopp would represent all—or even a majority of—voters in his district.

Sen. Knopp and 10 other senators in this state are abdicating their duties because the voters of Oregon elected people to their districts who do

not adhere to these Republicans’ vison for Oregon. This tactic by Republicans will have ramifications beyond the climate change bill. Other bills—including ones amending the death penalty laws, and another that would amend zoning laws to allow for duplexes in some areas currently zoned single-family—can’t go anywhere without the quorum the 11 senators provide to the Legislature.

While we don’t believe walkouts should be an option for any minority in the Legislature, it’s especially galling to see this happen over an economic fight. Were this a question of morality—or one that delved into a topic that wasn’t so overwhelmingly agreed upon by the majority of Oregonians—it might be a different story. But this is a battle over climate change, and history will bear out that time was indeed running out on taking serious action.

Those 11 Republicans contend that HB 2020’s emergency clause doesn’t give Oregonians the opportunity to fight back with a referendum.

Republicans argue that Oregon doesn’t need to be the poster child for environmental leadership on cap and invest programs aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions, because our state’s contributions are relatively so small on the global scale. But we should not forget that the effort to ban chlorofluorocarbons started right here in our state too— and led to a worldwide ban that effectively saved the ozone layer in the ensuing decades. In addition, more than 100 countries with economies smaller than Oregon’s have already taken up the charge. Small efforts add up.

What’s more, we should not forget that Oregon’s economy is already being negatively affected by climate change. Remember the drops in tourism—a big driver of the local economy—during the summer wildfire seasons of recent years? We do. Here in Bend, the dollars brought in through the transient room tax go directly into the City’s general fund—which in turn funds roads, police, fire and other important services.

It’s OK in politics to have your ideas be out of favor. Senators should make their case and then vote. If indeed the majority of Oregonians believe that climate change and the process for reducing greenhouse gases is misplaced, the ballot box will tell. Running away and doing nothing is, in general, not a way to win over voters. Tim Knopp should get back to work. Our district depends on you.

DRIVERS LICENSES FOR ALL OREGONIANS MEANS SAFER ROADS

John Hummel, Deschutes County District Attorney, recently stated, “If we pass this law (HB 2015), we’ll be safer.”

Washington and California issue driver’s licenses to qualified immigrants and have fewer drivers who haven’t met state driving standards, Hummel added.

Over 80,000 immigrants and citizens are expected to apply for the standard license and pay fees to expand the state highway fund.

The Latino Community Association asks you to tell your state senators to vote “yes” on HB 2015. For more information visit http://www.oneoregon.org/who-we-are or Causa Oregon at https://causaoregon.org — Denise Holley and Brad Porterfield, Latino Community Association

When we travel, we want to believe all drivers passed an exam on the rules of the road and a driving test. But in Oregon some did not; they are excluded because they lack documents required by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to obtain a license.

This makes it difficult to buy insurance and makes our roads less safe for everyone.

Oregon will begin issuing a Real ID license in mid-2020 that requires a Social Security card and proof of citizenship or legal presence. This will allow Oregonians without a passport to meet the federal requirement to board a plane after October 2020.

But Oregonians who are older, homeless, born in a different state, fleeing domestic violence, or awaiting legal status or citizenship, may not have documents to qualify for that license. On June 18, the Oregon House approved HB 2015, the Equal Access to Roads Act. It would let DMV issue a standard Class C license to any Oregonian who passes the driving tests and presents identification and proof of state residency. Now the measure goes to the State Senate.

In 2008, Oregon barred driver’s licenses for immigrants and others without the required documents. Once their licenses expired, they relied on licensed friends and relatives to get around or risked driving without a license. Driving is essential to travel to work in rural areas without public transit. Because of this, driving is not a privilege, it is a right. Denying people this right has unintended consequences.

A local immigrant student with a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) permit recently shared at a forum in Bend that she was offered scholarships to attend Portland State University. But she chose to stay in Bend to drive her parents since they cannot get a driver’s license.

It might not seem logical to allow immigrants without permission to live in the U.S. to have a driver’s license. However, what is not logical is our federal government refusing to allow immigrants to come here to fill jobs in a legal manner. Businesses in the East Cascades region reported 3,708 unfilled positions in May, according to the Oregon Employment Department. They cannot find workers. Our workforce is aging and our citizens’ birthrate isn’t keeping up. We have over 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. because Congress lacks the will to change our laws.

Oregonians can’t fix our immigration system, but we can fix the state policy decision that restricts access to licenses.

IN RESPONSE TO, “FOR THE LOVE OF CATS” ON 6/20

While I appreciate the concern expressed in your article, For the Love of Cats, in which the author advocates for sterilization of feral cats and returning them to the wild, it fails to mention the havoc these cats cause for natural and valuable wild things, ie. BIRDS! While I can’t quote statistics, I have seen numerous articles indicating the great toll taken on wild birds! This may sound heartless to animal lovers, but euthanizing may make more sense than Trap-Neuter-Return! Even tame house cats take a terrible toll on wild birds!

IN RESPONSE TO, “BUCKET LIST: TOUR WITH GRATEFUL DEAD, JEFFERSON STARSHIP AND THE COMMODORES” ON 6/20

Last weeks ‘Bucket List’ article about JiveRadio was indeed well written and largely accurate. BUT, it was primarily about me, which is OK, but I’m no DJ. People should know that the bulk of our weekly specialty programming is done by two women in their 60’s and 70’s with nearly a century of radio experience between them and they are better than ever; Diane ‘Di’ Michaels “The Diatollah of Rockinrollah” has been a boss jock on commercial radio since the ‘70’s and holds several national awards for her work, and Michele ‘Sister Tiny’ Busk was on the original air crew of the legendary KFAT radio in Gilroy, CA in the late ‘70s.

The sound of the Jive is what it is because of the talents of these two women. They’re not the best at what they do, they’re the only ones who do what they do.

Thanks again, and keep sourcing!

WHAT IF WE’VE BEEN WRONGLY FRAMED?

Everything is viewed through a frame.

Presidential debates media frames as a sporting event—“jabbing an opponent,” “blind-sided by a question,” “hitting a home run.” But, when I asked owners of food & drink establishments to switch their TVs from sports to this week’s Democratic debates, two confided that it would be bad for business. Viewing sports is a healing ritual that allows us to drink and argue with emotional conviction, and manage to get along once the contest is over.

Politics is something else. A winner-loser sports frame trivializes a contest that, at its core, is about what our future will be.

I prefer to frame these debates as tryouts for the next Democratic Administration. Unfortunately, to be cast, candidates must all try out for the major role, President of the United States. It’s a daunting role to play. So, as you watch these debates, cut them some slack. Imagine you are a casting director being asked in what role that candidate might shine. You may find yourself saying: “She’d make a great Attorney General!” “Maybe Secretary of State or U.N. Ambassador?” “Wow! That’s got to be Secretary of Energy!” “Finally, someone with heft playing Secretary of Housing and Urban Development!”

This positive frame empowers both candidates and ourselves as we consider what this production might look like once

it is mounted. Hopefully, it is one full of creative moments, stirring lines, and emotional payoffs befitting its expense.

City to Repeal Bag Ban WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 27, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

In July, the City Council will vote to repeal its ban to comply with the new statewide ban on single-use carryout bags

By Chris Miller

B

end’s ban on single-use plastic bags was set to go into effect July 1—with enforcement officially beginning on Jan. 1, 2020. That is, until the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 2509, banning the use of the bags statewide.

That’s set to go into effect Jan. 1.

Although Gov. Kate Brown hasn’t signed the bill into law, she is expected to do so soon. According to Anne Aurand, City of Bend communications director, the state bill is similar to Bend’s, but also adds in banning plastic restaurant take-out bags. Also, the state bill set the fee for purchasing single-use, non-plastic bags at at least 5 cents, compared to the 10 cents in the City’s code.

Aurand said informational materials and enforcement will become projects of state government, but the City is supportive and still encourages residents to “Bring your bag, Bend!”

The statewide bill doesn’t stop shoppers from using plastic bags for the packaging of bulk items such as fruit,

veggies, nuts, grains or small hardware items like nails, bolts or screws.

According to the text of HB 2509, a “single-use checkout bag” is defined as a bag made of paper, plastic or any other material that is provided by a retail establishment to a customer at the time of checkout—and is not a recycled paper checkout bag, a reusable fabric checkout bag or a reusable plastic checkout bag.

Instead of providing the single-use bags, according to the state bill, retailers may give its customers reusable fabric checkout bags at no cost as a promotion on 12 or fewer days in a calendar year.

They may also provide recycled paper checkout bags or reusable plastic bags at no cost to people who have a voucher issued under the Women, Infants and Children Program, or use an electronic benefits transfer card issued by the Department of Human Services (EBT).

Blake Shappell, store manager of Grocery Outlet, said his store stopped using single use plastic bags earlier this month. Shappell and one of his cashiers

Grocery Outlet Manager, Blake Shappell bags a customer's purchase in a recycled paper bag. Starting Jan. 1, 2020, people that don't bring their own reusable bags to the grocery store may be charged 10 cents for a bag.

said they understood why the City is setting aside its bag rules in lieu of following the state—especially because it will give customers more time to get used to the new rules.

Restaurants will be able to package people’s leftovers in recycled paper bags at no cost to the customer or give reusable plastic bags at no cost to people who have the EBT cards, according to the text of the bill.

In December 2018, when the City Council preliminarily approved to “Un-bag Bend” it did so without

unanimous support. Councilor Bill Moseley said during the Dec. 5 meeting that he thought it was more of a state government decision, and Councilor Justin Livingston said flatly that he wouldn’t support the ban at all, citing a study done by the University of Arizona on the health risks of reusable bags.

Retailers who violate the bill could face a Class D violation and a maximum fine of $250, according to the text of the state bill. Each day a retailer commits a violation would be considered a separate offense.

City of Bend Fire Department

Fireworks Dos and Don’ts

Last year, a man lit Pilot Butte on fire. This year, city leaders are coming out en masse to prevent illegal fireworks and respond to complaints

By Chris Miller Fireworks are part of the American DNA. They’re how we celebrate Independence Day, New Year’s Eve and other milestones. Used responsibly, they can garner oohs and awes from people sitting in lawn chairs watching the colors explode overhead and listening to the sonic booms.

However, if used irresponsibly, fireworks can cause property damage and even loss of life.

According to the National Fire Protection Agency, on average each year, fireworks start 18,500 fires, cause an average of three deaths and 40 injuries and result in $43 million in property damage.

Last July 4, a 29-year-old Bend man accidentally lit Pilot Butte on fire with an illegal firework. The blaze burned about 10 acres and left 27,000 people without power. Alan Stout got 90 days in jail and was ordered to pay about $20,000 in restitution.

Bend Fire Department’s Battalion Chief/Public Information Officer Dave Howe said the way the winds were blowing that day, the fire easily could have jumped Hwy 20, and if it had been a little drier last year, it would have.

“The biggest issue with fire spread in a wildland fire is the ember storm and flaming brands, which can blow out ahead of a flaming front and ignite spot fires as much as one-quarter to one-half mile downwind,” Howe said.

“So we ask people to remove anything combustible for 5 feet around

any wooden structural element like a house, a fence or a deck.”

This year, the City of Bend is pairing police officers with fire inspectors for an Illegal Fireworks Task Force to respond exclusively to illegal fireworks calls in late June and early July, according to the City. The Task Force is scheduled for the nights of June 27 to June 28 and July 3, 5 and 6.

Bend Police Department Lt. Clint Burleigh said July 4 is the department’s busiest day of the year for fireworks and fireworks complaints. He said Bend PD is planning on having its staff occupied throughout the 24-hour period of July 4—hence, the Task Force will be not responding to calls that day.

The City said the Task Force will patrol areas where data have shown a higher use of illegal fireworks. Burleigh said the usage areas are fairly spread out, and said the Mountain View Neighborhood Association has done a great job working with residents to get more specific information on what they’ve witnessed over the past several years.

“We are working on where to focus from the data of previous years and any additional information that has been given to us by some of our community members,” Burleigh said.

Howe said the department averages about 28 to 32 calls per day, but on July 4, that number goes up to between 50 and 60, including medical, fires, traffic crashes and other calls. Burleigh said the PD’s call data comes from 911 calls,

The July 4 fire on Pilot Butte in 2018.

so they don’t have exact numbers, but the highest firework complaint calls have come on July 4 for the last three years.

Illegal fireworks in Oregon include any type that fly, explode, eject balls of fire or move across the ground more than 6 feet or into the air more than 12 inches—including “sky lanterns.” Examples of illegal fireworks are M80s, bottle rockets, Roman Candles and mortars.

Homemade fireworks are also considered illegal by the state. Legal fireworks include sparklers, ground bloom flowers and base fountains.

According to the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office, the sale, possession or use of illegal fireworks is a Class B misdemeanor, with a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $2,500 fine. Users of illegal fireworks can also face potential civil penalties of up to $500 per violation, restitution for damage to property and fire suppression efforts and other criminal charges like

reckless burning or criminal mischief.

Burleigh said the PD plans to issue citation and seize illegal fireworks during the Task Force. According to City of Bend code, people who are cited face a $750 fine in addition to the state fines.

Fireworks went on sale statewide June 23. Howe said people should follow some basic tips to keep their property safe while using legal fireworks.

He recommends using fireworks in an area cleared of combustible materials—like bark mulch—at least 30 feet from anything that can burn, like a house, fence or barn. Howe said to have a hoseline at the ready and submerge spent fireworks in a bucket of water after waiting for them to cool for 30 minutes.

For furry friends, Howe said people should put dogs in the house, preferably in a quiet interior room with a fan or other white noise-making device on.

Already this year, three brush fires have started in Bend. Howe said the tall grasses will be dry and cured by July 4 and the best way to prevent a brush fire is to avoid using fireworks, and to remind people that legal ones can start fires as well.

The Bend July 4 Fireworks Festival is set to get cracking at 10pm when the mortars start launching on Pilot Butte.

People can see the display from most locations in Bend with a view of the Butte.

Howe says people who want to watch fireworks should leave them to the pros.

“The use of illegal fireworks, by definition is against the law,” Howe said. “It is very risky in terms of fire safety—people’s houses can burn down, devastating wildland fires can start, fireworks can maim hands and faces and the fuse lighter is responsible for any and all damage that his device may cause, including the costs of fire suppression.”

PARK FLOAT& NOW OPEN

In A Break From The Past, Oregon Sheriffs Change Their Approach To Gun Laws Early this past June, Coos County Sheriff Craig Zanni was in his Coquille, Oregon, office fielding an email from a sovereign citizen. The sender was claiming that the Oregon state government doesn’t have grounds to operate because it can’t provide him with a copy of the 1859 state constitution.

Jonathan Levinson, OPB Sovereign citizens reject the legitimacy of the state and federal government. All of it: taxation, currency, the courts and, of course, gun laws.

PREPARING FOR WILDFIRE SEASON S In the midst of heightened awareness about the risk of wildfires, dozens train to become qualified wildland firefighters Story and photos by Keely Damara

Students from various state and federal agencies learn to dig line during a live fire exercise south of Sisters on June 20.

Keely Damara

ummer has arrived, with fire season right on its tail—and the memory of last year’s destructive wildfires aren’t far from the collective minds of various state and federal agencies tasked with preventing and responding to Oregon wildfires.

Last week, 58 students from various agencies received several days of training organized by the Central Oregon Fire Management Service to become qualified wildland firefighters. In addition to in-class training that focused on communication and team-building skills, the students spent June 20 training in a live fire exercise just south of Sisters. We tagged along.

Jacob Soliz, 27, has served the last five years with the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion One, a U.S. Navy Seabee battalion. “I’m always open to new ideas and doing different things,” said Soliz. “I’ve done a wide variety of things throughout my course in the Navy, but this happens to be one of the off-the-wall ones that I didn’t think I would be doing, but so far, I’m really enjoying it.”

“We refer to each other as family because, you know, our lives are in each other’s hands. And we really need to build trust.”

— ROLYN MILLER

Rolyn Miller, 19, works for the U.S. Forest Service and is a student at OSU-Cascades, where she studies natural resources. “I just moved to Bend this year and I want to feel like I’m a part of the Bend community and not just some person from the (Willamette) Valley who moved across the Cascades,” said Miller.

District and “burn boss” for the live fire exercise, said the students spent the day learning how to attack fires directly and indirectly utilizing hand tools.

“They’re doing what we call ‘direct attack’— which is, they’re building a hand-line perimeter to contain the fire directly on the fire’s banks,” said Guillory. “The other piece of what they’re learning today is really just to work within the Incident Command System.”

The Incident Command System is the glue that holds together the various agencies that respond to wildfires—setting up a structure of command, and breaking groups down into small, manageable sizes for better communication. During the live fire exercise June 20, trainees could be heard passing messages, as well as the occasional high five, down the line from person to person—like a giant game of telephone.

Rolyn Miller, 19, works for the U.S. Forest Service and is a student at OSU-Cascades, where she studies natural resources. Building strength of character and giving back to the community are both important to her in a career choice, she said, and firefighting

fulfilled both those while also allowing her to be outdoors. The classes leading up to the live fire exercise focused a lot on team building—something Miller said is important in their line of work.

“We refer to each other as family because, you know, our lives are in each other’s hands,” said Miller. “And we really need to build trust.”

Guillory said the interagency training program in Central Oregon is unique in that it gives students the experience of working with the same future wildland firefighters they’ll likely encounter when fighting fires in the region.

“We work really closely with our municipal partners as well as state partners and contractors and other agencies,” said Guillory. “It’s a really good opportunity for them to get, essentially, the live fire and really what they would be doing if they were to head to an incident here in Central Oregon—because those are the same people that they would encounter on an actual fire.”

Of the 58 students who went through the training last week, 35 are USDA Forest Service personnel, 15 Bureau of Land Management staff, seven people from Oregon Military Department and one U.S. Navy sailor. The newly qualified wildland firefighters will return to their agency posts, prepared to fight fires this summer under the command of more experienced firefighters.

Loving his Large Band

By the end of his Amphitheater show, Lyle Lovett wants you to know more about each of his (many) touring musicians

By Alan Sculley Michael Wilson

Following his tour, Lyle Lovett heads back to the studio to produce his first new album in seven years.

Curb Records (and its parent company, Universal) before releasing his self-titled debut album in 1986. Lovett stepped back to take stock of how the music industry was changing before deciding how he would move forward.

Finally, last November Lovett signed with Verve Records, a label also owned

by Universal, and his familiarity with the parent company played a big role in Lovett’s decision.

“I always worked more closely with the MCA side of the record deal than Curb,” Lovett said. “So I like the company. They administer my publishing as well. I’ve been with two publishing companies over the years, Criterion Music and PolyGram, and Universal bought

both of those publishing companies. So I have a relationship with Universal anyway.”

Lovett said he has not yet settled on the songs that will go on his next album.

But he can say one thing with some certainty: There won’t be a unifying concept to the songs.”

“The theme really is just my life experience,” Lovett said. “With just about every song I’ve recorded, I can point to something I’ve experienced, either gone through or something that I observed or happened that was real. And then writing about it is a great way to remember that, really, that experience.

Writing about it, in a personal way, for me, it helps me to appreciate some of

the things I’ve gotten to live through.”

Lovett said fans can expect the album to feature the kind of diversity that has characterized his previous albums – and the musical range of his live shows (including the June 29 show at the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend). The new songs could incorporate any number of styles, including country, soul, blues, bluegrass, rock or horn-accented swing and jazz.

And when recording sessions begin, Lovett will approach the new album with the same goal that’s behind which songs he chooses to perform at each concert and how the songs are arranged for live performance. He wants to showcase his band.

“By the end of the show, I’d like everyone in the audience to feel as though they’ve gotten to know everybody on stage,” he said. “So that’s really how the arrangements, the live arrangements come from that. It really is a matter of thinking of ways to expand a song or take a song in a direction that would allow someone in the band to be featured. So we might expand some of the solos and include instruments and solo sections that might not be on the recording. It’s a way to say ‘Hey, check this guy out because he’s really good.’”

T

his summer, Lyle Lovett is once again doing an extensive tour of the U.S. This means he gets to experience one of his favorite aspects of being a musician on a nightly basis.

“I just appreciate them so much,” Lovett said of his touring musicians, which over the years he has deployed in various configurations, from a small acoustic combo up to his Large Band, which has had as many as 16 members.

“I mean, nothing gives me a greater thrill in my musical life than to get to stand in the middle of them and listen to them. I get to do that every night. So just to stand there and listen to them think, that’s really what it amounts to, it’s just fun.”

But it’s been some time since he’s had that experience in the studio. That’s because Lovett has gone seven years since he last released a studio album.

An end to the drought of new Lovett music is on the horizon, as he plans to enter the studio in November to make a new album. Because “Release Me” and 2009’s “Natural Forces” were made up mostly of songs written by Lovett’s favorite artists, this will be his first album of primarily original songs since his ninth album, the 2007 release, “It’s Not Big It’s Large.”

The long gap between albums has partly been a function of the titanic changes that have occurred in the music industry—namely, downloading and streaming.

“Release Me” marked the end of the record deal Lovett signed with MCA/

Source Material

A few of music’s infectious highlights from the month of June to keep you plugged in

LOCAL’S BIN: Groovasaur EP The debut project from Bend’s Groovasaur slightly reminds me of the soundtrack to Spyro The Dragon — which is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time (If you didn’t know, it was actually scored by The Police’s Stuart Copeland). One reason is its mystical cover, and the other is simply the music. The self-titled EP is a breezy instrumental project, filling your ears with rapid runs of keys, dreamy guitar riffs and sturdy drum beats. It’s jazzy. It’s rocky. It’s funky. It’s Groovasaur.

keeps the music light and wandering– almost like you’re adrift at sea or slowly flowing on the Deschutes River. His light falsetto is a gently placed overlay to the groovy, yet relaxing instrumentation on the album. I highly recommend mellowing out to the Fruit Bats– it’s a perfect soundtrack for basking in the glows of the sun.

NATIONAL BEATS: “Junk” - Carlie Hanson This 19-yearold Wisconsinite is a special talent. Not only can she craft pop masterpieces, but she might even start beatboxing in the middle of one—which is exactly what Hanson does on “Bored With You,” the lead track. The young singer combines elements from rock, hiphop and pop into an even-keeled blend that’s fun to listen to. Hanson’s lyrics are raw anecdotes from her teenage years and everyday life– but they aren’t always easy. “Hazel,” a punk-laden distress call, is actually a song about one of her friends going through a rough and drug-filled patch, Hanson told Billboard. So if you’re expecting cookie cutter, bubblegum pop then you might want to look elsewhere. It’s Hanson’s edge that truly makes her shine.

“Gold Past Life” – Fruit Bats One of the earlier bands big on the alternative folk scene was Chicago’s Fruit Bats. The original project of Eric D. Johnson—also formerly of the Portland-based band, The Shins—has seen a lot of changes throughout the years but has held center with Johnson as the nucleus. On “Gold Past Life,” Johnson

REGIONAL FIND: “Bleu”- Dave B. Dave B. is really good at rapping—and matter of fact, at singing, too. As one of the Pacific Northwest’s own, the Seattle-based artist already has one of my most-played albums of the year and it just came out this month. Dave commands attention with his unique and shapeshifting tone—in the same manner that Andre 3000 and Q Tip have done for years. “Bleu” is a 10-track mix of summertime hip-hop and R&B that sounds just as good in the daylight as it does during a twilight walk to the nearest Safeway. And to top it off, the run of “Peace,” “Window” and “Darling” might be the best opening sequence I’ve heard this year.

Turning the Seasons

New Summer Solstice Celebration focuses on health, music and the arts

ack in March, Joshua Jacobs (sometimes known as SinSay, when he DJs) began to put the puzzle pieces in place for a new gathering in Central Oregon. While the birth of the idea came from his brain, Jacobs makes sure to tell me that it was a total group effort of everyone involved.

Located at the Powell Butte Community Center, the Summer Solstice Celebration will bring together artists, healers, musicians and more to help usher in the summer.

“A few years back, which was around the time I was getting introduced to the Bend and Central Oregon dance and yoga community, there was an event called the Bend Urban Fest at the Old Stone Church. It was definitely along the same lines,” Jacobs recalls.

“I always loved that idea. Just a few months back I started teaching yoga at the (Powell Butte) center and the space is just amazing. It doesn’t get used very much. I was like, ‘something should happen here!’”

Jacobs was quickly able to find those interested in participating and being a part of the day-long event. A brief rundown of some of the activities include yoga sessions, food vendors, an artist’s bazaar, music, sound healing, live painting, a fire performance and more.

“Bend is probably known as very wellness focused. You see a lot happening in Bend and Central Oregon in general, whether it’s focused on art, or music or wellness, but you don’t see a lot of lines being blurred there,” says Jacobs as he goes through the core themes of the gathering. “I think bringing all of

that into one event can be hugely beneficial for the community, just in terms of awareness, even.”

The event itself is alcohol free and donation based. Jacobs has partnered with a local nonprofit, Elephants Now, as the beneficiary. Operated by Phillip Price, Elephants Now is an organization focused on establishing safe conservation habitats for elephants. This is

a partnership that Jacobs is very excited about. “It’s cool to see a local do something on such a national scale,” he says.

For many, the summer solstice symbolizes a way to get more in tune with body and mind—while being able to enjoy the offerings of the season. For Jacobs, this celebration is no different for him.

OSU-Cascades offers new bachelor’s program in arts, media and technology

By Cari Brown

Following the trend of growth in Central Oregon’s arts and culture and related industries, Oregon State University-Cascades is offering a new “Arts, Media, and Technology,” degree program, exclusive to the campus in Bend. With degree-related courses being offered as early as summer term—that’s right now, folks—the program officially begins fall term and enrollment is already underway. The program offers “an integrated education combining cutting-edge technical skills and traditional studio arts both on campus and through community internships.” This is great news for a region that currently has more than 200 “Creative Jobs” posted on Indeed.com.

person, in terms of how I focus my energy,” Jacobs says of the solstice’s importance to him. “And when we transition into the summer, the pull of the sun and the energy that it provides – the atmosphere is so different in the summer because everyone wants to get up and be doing something. A lot of people want to be outside and with each other. That is very true for me as well. I love being a part of that.”

Students at OSU-Cascades learn how to incorporate their art with technology,

Unlike a traditional art degree, this new track offers diverse opportunities for students to deepen their studio practice through the utilization and understanding of creative technology. For example, an illustrator who

works in watercolor can learn how to take their drawings and animate them into a short film, or a painter can learn to create an app that allows users to collaborate on a painting with them. The aim is to expose the curious and creative student to the rigors of a traditional art education and studio practice, while teaching them to apply technology to art thinking, or to apply art thinking to technology. Either way, grads will be well equipped to enter the job or entrepreneurial markets with a well-rounded set of skills.

Kiel Fletcher, the program’s lead, says, “With the new degree, students will [also] have the option to fulfill graduation requirements by completing internships.” WHAT?! Enrollees can intern in the community for the Bend Design Conference, for example, or at 1859 magazine and get credit toward a degree. As Fletcher put it, “Honestly, we’re stoked to have such an awesome program here.”

Deschutes National Forest Supervisor John Allen is retiring. We sat down with him during his last week to talk fires, permits and more

By Chris Miller

A

fter 40 years of serving the public through the National Forest Service, John Allen, Deschutes National Forest supervisor since 2007, retired June 21.

Allen said he started as a summer seasonal employee when he was in college at the University of California, Berkeley.

After getting his degree in forest management, Allen said he worked for the Forest Service his entire career, nearly all of it in Oregon. He said he started in 1978 in the small town of Bly, in Klamath County.

On his second-to-last day on the job, the Source Weekly sat down with Allen to ask about two hot topics for the Forest Service: Wildfires, and the new trail permitting system.

Source Weekly: How have fire seasons changed over the years and what do you think will happen in the future?

John Allen: The term I think that’s becoming more prevalent is we’re starting to call it a “fire year,” because some of our firefighters are gone to fires all over the country starting in the spring and gone well into November and December. They do a lot of pretty intensive training in the winter, so as an agency we’re starting to look at it as a fire year. But as far as the summer coming up, we’ve had a really wet spring here on the east side of the Cascades and

the grass is taller than normal, and when it does cure out, it will really depend on how much lightning we get, but certainly the small fuels and the fine fuels that dry out quick, they’ll be ready to burn here in the coming weeks. I think the Forest Service has done a pretty good job of breaking up the fuel landscape with active management here in the last 10 to 12 years.

SW: What do you see happening with the Central Cascades Wilderness Strategies Project, aka the new trail permit system?

JA: The next step is, we’ve issued the decision for the permit system, and 19 of the 79 trailheads are going to have limited day use permits, and you’ll be able to get your permits reserved online and we’ll have some same-day or day-before permits for spontaneous people who can’t plan, or they show up from Ohio and they don’t know we have a permit system.

These are the busiest trailheads where we’ve had the most degradation in the wilderness. Not everybody agrees with this decision, but we’ve gotten pretty broad support for the Forest Service to do something about degradation in the wilderness—and I think we’re doing a good job of following our

—JOHN ALLEN Chris Miller

mandate from Congress, where we’re mandated to maintain or improve wilderness character. We believe that’s what our wilderness decision will do.

SW: What do you think the biggest challenge will be for the new permit system?

JA: There’s no simple solution, no silver bullet. It’s a mixture of things, it’s user education, it’s having more presence out in the wilderness. The Deschutes National Forest is one of the largest wilderness ranger programs in the country. But we know how to meet our responsibilities and we’re going to have to ramp that up a little bit, and we’re going to do that in the coming years. Education is always our first choice before enforcement, and we’re going to do our best to get visitors and the Central Oregon community understanding our wilderness objective out there.

SW: What can people do if they see bad behavior on the trails or in the wilderness?

JA: They can call any of our offices. We will have trailhead volunteers at many of the busy trailheads on weekends. A lot of the needs out there is when citizens make us aware of something. We can’t be everywhere. We need help and we’re not shy about it.

At the end of our interview, Allen said he’s most pleased with how the Deschutes National Forest has engaged with the people and communities of Central Oregon during his time at the Forest Service. He said he would have liked to have done more prescribed burning during his tenure, but thinks the Forest Service is on the right path.

Allen said he and his wife plan on taking some fishing trips and traveling abroad now that they’re both retired.

But, he wanted to give one last shout out to the people of Central Oregon.

“We can’t get done what we get done on our public lands without their support and understanding, and help,” Allen said. “So thank you, Central Oregon.”

LITTLE BITES

Saving S’Mores

By Keely Damara

As fire bans happen earlier and earlier, these fire pits can let you stare into the flames (mostly) year-round

I

t’s a primal urge: To stare into the flames under a blue-black bonnet, alive with tiny white stars.

Evolutionary Anthropologist Daniel Fesser of the University of California-Los Angeles has an explanation about humans’ attraction to fire, saying in a 2012 article with Live Science that adults’ “fascination with fire is a direct consequence of not having mastered it as a child.” Fessler contended that modern humans may not be required to make fire to survive—but in us is still that urge to know how to wield it.

Maybe that’s why many of us can be found staying up waaaay later than we should, sitting around a campfire, staring into those ever-changing licks of flame.

That is, until the next fire ban.

Last year’s fire that decimated Paradise, California, woke me up to the notion that indeed, it can happen here. A dear friend lost her home in that blaze, and Central Oregon seems to be only a slightly-wetter summer tinderbox than Northern California.

When fire officials announced a (temporary) fire ban in parts of the state earlier this spring—months ahead of the normal late-summer bans—it seemed a portent of what’s to come, with our long, now-green grasses soon turning to yellow.

That got me thinking—selfishly, frivolously—‘there go my S’Mores.’

During a fire ban, I’m guessing not a few of you have found yourselves attempting to make S’Mores over the open flame of your Coleman stove— but there is a better way: The portable, gas-powered fire pit. Each of the three portable pits I checked out offers that tantalizing flame we humans are so drawn to—and enough of it that you can cook a dog or a S’More over it.

What’s more, local fire officials, for the most part, will let you use them, even during a fire ban. (There are still places you can’t use them, so keep reading.)

Where to get your portable gas fire pit in Bend At the Bend Bi-Mart, I found the Flame One Portable Fireplace, powered, like the others, by propane. At $89.99 (plus the Bi-Mart lifetime family membership, at $5), it was the most affordable local option, and the store had plenty in stock. When I asked the staff how much gas this baby would suck up in a night, they said, “not much.” Since any of the options listed here require you to lug along a standard

A Little Baha in Bend

Bring on the dogs and S'Mores with this self-contained propane-powered fire pit.

20-pound propane tank, suffice it to say you’ll have enough gas for a few hours of fire each night of a weekend.

The Bend Sportsman’s Warehouse has two models. There’s the Bond Mfg Aurora Portable Gas Steel Fire Bowl, which sells for $109 and is advertised to run for 15 hours on a 20-gallon tank.

Then there’s the Camco Little Red Campfire, retailing for $134.99, which comes with a handy top that goes over the device and makes it easy to tote around.

All of the three pits adhere to one of Bend Fire’s informal recommendations for portable fire pits—which is to ensure that the heat source isn’t directly on the ground. The Little Red Campfire has a solid metal base that touches the ground, while the other two have a metal support ring for the base.

Fire pit restrictions during burn bans Each portable gas fire pit comes with some pretty explicit instructions: Check with the local land managers to find out whether you can use these products during a fire ban.

Inside the city of Bend, you can use a portable gas fire pit (nearly) anytime, so long as you follow the recommendations of the manufacturer, says Bend Deputy Fire Marshal Dan Derlacki. Those recommendations might include clearing the space of debris or giving a certain amount of space between the flames and flammable items, for example.

Portable gas fire pits are “great because they’re not going to throw up embers,” Derlacki told me. Bend Fire

generally allows wood-burning fire pits year-round—but they’ll sometimes ban them during “bad fire years,” Derlacki said.

As of this writing, the Deschutes National Forest and most nearby Bureau of Land Management lands are not under a fire ban—but when the fire bans come, you can still use portable gas fire pits on most lands. One exception: BLM-administered lands within the John Day and Deschutes Rivers, where there’s been a fire ban in place since June 1.

On Forest Service lands, you can use your portable gas fire pit in both developed and dispersed camping areas, “As long as there is a 6-foot diameter area cleared of all flammable material to prevent the accidental spread of fire to the wildland,” according to Deschutes NF Assistant Fire Management Officer Jeff Bishop.

Bishop added that if the fire danger increases, they may ban all propane devices.

And while this information is up to date right now, let this be a lesson that it’s important to know which lands you’re recreating on, and who to contact to ask more questions before you light that fire.

A new food cart in Central Oregon is offering up a little bit of Baha in Bend—filling the niche for fish and chips in the local food cart scene.

James Gage, the “J” in A&J’s Fish & Chips, spent three years working for a fish and chips restaurant in Oceanside, California, before opening his own food truck in Bend with business partner Alan Teshima. While they don’t have a permanent home yet, the food truck made its debut at the Bite of Bend this month and has been making appearances at food cart lots and breweries in the area. They set up shop at Spoken Moto last weekend and Gage has been reaching out to local breweries to collaborate—using a featured brew for their beer-battered fish. In addition to fish and chips, the truck also serves up shrimp cocktails and ceviche—a good option for those looking for a low-carb meal. As for his Baja-inspired fish tacos—Gage guarantees they are the best tacos around.

Until they find a permanent home, you can catch A&J’s Fish & Chips at Music on the Green in Redmond on June 26, Monkless Belgian Ales on Saturday, June 29 and Ale Apothecary on Sunday, June 30. To keep tabs on where they’ll be next, follow them on Instagram: @a_j_fishandchips

Bring on the Buns

For those who have never tried bao, it’s a delicious, fluffy bun, steamed and often served up with some sort of BBQ-style meat filling. It’s a popular street food in China— and now you can find it in Bend.

Bao Down has been popping up at events around Central Oregon since the end of May, and can we just say—they make the perfect outdoor festival food. Bun lovers can choose from Korean BBQ short ribs, ginger garlic-glazed fried chicken, misoglazed pork belly or marinated tofu.

They've been regularly serving up buns as Les Schwab concerts and will be at the Subaru Outdoor Games on July 26. Beginning in July, Bao Down can be found at the Podski in Old Bend. Follow them on Instagram or Facebook @baodownbend to find out where they’ll be next.

fter studying abroad, Stephen McCarthy had a dream of making some of the products he tasted in Europe—like poire Williams (pear brandy)—in the U.S. He founded Clear Creek Distillery in 1985 and brought the brandy culture to the States.

A craft distillery—maybe among the first, as we’ve seen craft spirits come of age—they bottle over 20 spirits, including the pear-in-the-bottle pear brandy. If you were wondering how this magic happens, the distillers tie a bottle to a budding pear in the branches of a tree until the pear is big enough to harvest, then fill the bottle with clear pear brandy.

After years of making fruit brandies and liqueurs, Clear Creek Distillery decided to distill vodka after moving its operations from Portland to the orchards of Hood River, and its parent company, Hood River Distillers, bought them a new column still.

“It was a while before we could come up with a product worthy of the Clear Creek name,” said National Marketing Manager Jeanine Racht.

Sticking with an orchard-to-glass philosophy, their vodka starts with pressed apple cider from Ryan’s Juice (their cider is sold seasonally to consumers at New Seasons and Whole Foods). Clear Creek Distillery’s cider blend contains 14 different heirloom varietals of non-genetically modified organism apples from Hood River and the Yakima Valley in Washington.

If making vodka from apples sounds different, it’s not. Vodka can be made with any plant matter high in starch or sugar. Most vodkas on the market today are made from corn, rye, wheat or sorghum. It’s also the norm for distilleries

to purchase neutral grain spirit, a highproof non-flavored alcohol typically produced from a mix of grains to make vodka.

Racht says the vodka market is “saturated with subpar product.” She said Clear Creek Distillery vodka is “for people that care about what they put in their mouth.”

According to Clear Creek, they sustainably source from local farmers because they want to put money back into their community.

It’s important to note that although Clear Creek Distillery vodka is made from apples, it isn’t apple flavored.

Racht said depending what you make the vodka with, the flavor comes across a bit.

“The essence of a crushed apple blossom, it’s not sweet or Christmas spices, but it has a tartness,” Racht said.

“Because it’s not fruity you can still make a dirty martini with it.”

Since vodka made from apples isn’t common, I pressed Racht to explain the innovation coming from Clear Creek Distillery.

“We’re not trying to change the world, we’re very proud that each product we make has an ancestor,” Racht said. “It’s tied to history and we’re lucky to use our valuable resources.”

Those resources are the lush fruits coming from local orchards and the fresh water springs of Mount Hood.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME: After 11 years and

22 movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we’ve come to know it reaches its end. With the amount of hype leveled toward this movie, it’s kind of astounding that the film not only sticks the landing but manages to be an emotional powerhouse for anyone invested in this story. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

BOOKSMART: The funniest and most heartwarming

film of 2019 so far follows a pair of studious high school graduates who decide to go apeshit and party like rock stars before heading off to college. Just a delightful movie from top to bottom. Sisters Movie House.

CHILD’S PLAY: This is a reboot of a franchise

that’s been going strong since 2017’s “Cult of Chucky,” so there’s less of a reason for its existence than your average horror remake. Amazingly, this new “Child’s Play” is a fun bit of horror and hopefully will keep going parallel to the Don Mancini’s shepherded original, still continuing franchise. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

DARK PHOENIX: Hey look, another adaptation of the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” a much beloved comic arc from the 1980s. I wonder if they’ll get it right this time?

It can’t be worse than “X-Men: The Last Stand,” can it? Oh, sweet summer child. It can always get worse… especially in Hollywood. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. FRAMING JOHN DELOREAN: A weird hybrid documentary/biopic about the guy who made that car from “Back to the Future” and his brushes with drugs, politics, money and all kinds of other super fun stuff. Such a bizarre ride. Tin Pan Theater GLORIA BELL: Julianne Moore gives one of her finest performances as a woman who finds love at a time where she was searching for anything but something serious. A surprising and heartfelt little movie. Odem Theater Pub GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS:

There’s a lot of really cool monster stuff in this new “Godzilla,” which is a direct sequel to 2014’s “Godzilla” and 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island,” but none of it adds up to a satisfying whole. Really, this movie only exists to set up next year’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” and, because I’m a man-child, I’m much more excited for that than I should be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HOTEL MUMBAI: An intense and nail-biting recreation of the terrorist attack against the Taj hotel in Mumbai. Odem Theater Pub JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 - Parabellum: Somehow, the “John Wick” franchise not only keeps getting more epic with its action and violence, but more intimate with Keanu Reeves’ portrayal of the damaged killer. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX LATE NIGHT: You know who’s great? Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling—together in one movie about changing the diversity in the writ-

er’s room, with a supporting cast featuring John Lithgow, Amy Ryan and “Veep’s” Reid Scott. This might be a must-see. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

MARY MAGDALENE: A film that portrays Mary

Magdalene as an almost-revolutionary and fiercely dedicated apostle. For those not interested in the story, the film is worth watching just to see the always underrated Rooney Mara as Mary and a deeply committed Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus. Sisters Movie House

MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL: If “Thor: Ragnarok” proved anything to us, it’s that the combination of Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson is a delightful one. Sadly, “MiB4” never really cashes in on their chemistry, instead content to coast on uninspired special effects and a very out of touch script. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub SHAFT: Look, more Sam Jackson is always a good thing, but the last “Shaft” movie from 2000 has such iconic villain turns from Christian Bale and Jeffrey Wright that it’s hard to care too much about another trip to this well. But a script from Kenya Barris (the creator of “Blackish”) keeps me cautiously optimistic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, TEEN SPIRIT: While the film tells a tale we’ve seen many times before, the central performance from Elle Fanning is astounding in this look at what makes a modern Cinderella story.

Surprisingly delightful. Sisters Movie House

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM: A docu-

mentary following a couple with 200 acres right outside of Los Angeles as they try to create a sustainable farm. It’s a lovely story and manages to have some truly breathtaking nature cinematography—even though the couple managed to annoy me pretty much all the way through. Odem Odem Theater Pub, Tin Pan Theater

THE DEAD DON’T DIE: Jim Jarmusch is responsible for several near-perfect deconstructions of the Western, the vampire movie and samurai films, so obviously he would have to put his stamp on the zombie genre eventually.

With a cast featuring Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Rza, Steve Buscemi and a dozen more, the real question is, why haven’t you seen this yet? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2: The last one was surprisingly sweet and funny and this one looks like it brings more of the same sense of charm. Kevin Hart as a mildly psychotic bunny rabbit is about the most inspired casting possible, although with a voice cast also including Patton Oswalt, Hannibal Burress and Jenny Slate, the film knows how to play funny. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE TOMORROW MAN: John Lithgow and

Blythe Danner play two senior citizens with some dark and eccentric beliefs that mesh perfectly with each other. A surprisingly strange little movie that revels in the things that make us different. Sisters Movie House.

TOY STORY 4: If “Toy Story 3” was about the very

human fear of obsolescence, then “Toy Story 4” focuses on the idea of taking chances in life long past the point where we feel like we have nothing left to offer the world. These movies are dark and sad and weird. I hope Disney and Pixar keep making them— forever. See full review on p35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

STREAMING THIS WEEK DARK — SEASON TWO After a very long year waiting, Season Two of the strangest German show of all time has returned. The deeply cinematic and addictive show feels like a mashup of “Lost,” “Twin Peaks” and “Silence of the Lambs” if directed by someone on a ton of molly. Already renewed for a third and final season, this is the best show you’re not watching. courtesy IMDb

ook, Pixar has always been pretty good about finding moments of genuine humanity within their movies about flying houses, sentient toys and cute robots, but they’re masters at unearthing the sadness at the core of the human condition. Animated movies about anthropomorphic toys shouldn’t be so gut wrenchingly honest and upsetting, but here we are.

Each of the “Toy Story” movies has had a specific thematic motif that the filmmakers were interested in unearthing. The original focused on the cowboy Woody (voiced with breathtaking humanity by Tom Hanks) being afraid of being replaced by Buzz Lightyear, a new and flashier toy (Tim Allen). That feeling of watching the world pass you by is a universal one, and gave adults something to think about even as kids enjoyed the jokes and animation.

“Toy Story 2” explored the ideas of what toys would actually be afraid of: not fulfilling their purpose of being played with by children. This beautifully mirrors the very human fear of not living up to our potential, and just existing without truly living.

Then “Toy Story 3” got dark, exploring our fears of death through a meditation on loss and love. Just like J.K. Rowling did with her “Harry Potter” novels, the “Toy Story” franchise grew up with the kids it served, telling stories made to get children to ask their parents the big questions.

Even though “Toy Story 3” seemed like the perfect ending to the story of these beloved toys, I can’t imagine the series without No. 4. The film has the darkness of the last entry, but tempers it

Three guesses which of these characters is voiced by Keanu Reeves.

with a powerful message that most live action films can’t even pull off, let alone a cartoon about children’s toys.

There are so many layers to the ideas in “Toy Story 4” that audiences can basically take out of it whatever they feel like putting in. Whether it’s the bittersweet love story or the bleak look at mental illness and suicide. Or, a kid can watch it and just think it’s colorful and funny and ignore any of the thematic goo.

The physical scale of the series shrinks, as most of “Toy Story 4” takes place in an antique store next to a carnival, but the emotional scale encompasses stuff like the acceptance of mortality

and whether people who are emotionally broken can accept being loved.

There’s a spork whose only purpose is to throw himself in the trash and die, and a little toy girl who was a factory defect so has never been loved by a child. Buzz is starting to feel incapable of original thought while Woody still hasn’t gotten over Andy giving him to another child.

None of these toys can move on, instead they’re stuck in a feedback loop of diminishing prospects, desperate for a future that gets more remote every day.

All of this might sound extremely heavy for children, but most of the kids in the screening I saw were laughing all the

way through. It’s a fun movie filled with inventive action, photo-realistic animation and beautiful moments of friendship and love. All the dark stuff is aimed at the big kids who are wrestling with these questions already. There’s nothing too mature here that will destroy your kid…unless you’re uncomfortable with them asking why you’re crying.

Eyes in the Sky

Low-tech fire lookouts remain a key tool in finding fires before they spread

By Caitlin Richmond

visitors, they’re scanning the horizon looking for “smokes,” while also listening to the dispatch radio, which broadcasts 16 other channels. Since they don’t often see actual flames from their position on the mountaintops, they’re primarily looking for the telltale smoke. When they see it, they follow a specific protocol.

To pinpoint the fire, the first thing they do is use an Osborne Fire Finder— basically a giant compass, sometimes with a scope attached. They record the latitude and longitude, then fill out a smoke report sheet, which includes weather and how that affects fire behavior. Then they call into dispatch, explains Rachel Lindgren, who also works at the Lava Butte lookout tower.

“We spot, plot and then give the report to dispatch,” Hodgson says.

“They decide what action to take, and we act as incident command until someone gets to the scene, since we’re the eyes in the sky.”

These steps—especially the first step of noticing the fire—are key to keeping fires small. Oftentimes, when lookouts see a fire, it’s still small—about the size of a campfire. By getting people to the scene of a small fire, the lookouts are saving time and money. Technology such as satellites can’t see the wispy plumes of smoke from a small fire—so by the time a fire would show up on a satellite it could be an acre large and spreading, Hodgson said.

Many variables affect how quickly a fire spreads, but one of the biggest is wind speed. If a fire has moved up into the crowns of trees in a 30-mile-per-hour wind, that’s the same speed at which the

n a time when technology is taking over, the team managing the Deschutes National Forest still does some things the old-fashioned way. In addition to airplanes and helicopters, fire lookout towers are a critical part of finding fires early.

“It’s all about early detection,” says Joey Hodgson, a Forest Service employee who’s been a lookout for 24 years.

“We don’t have the time between when we see the fire and when we call it in that we did 10 years ago, and there is a lot more at risk these days than there was 20 years ago.”

Fire detection these days is almost a competition between the lookouts, people patrolling from the air, commercial aircrafts and the public, Hodgson says. The outcome is the same whoever calls it in, but that competition provides an added incentive for lookouts to be attentive at all times.

“It’s a low-stress and high-stress job,” he explains. “Sometimes nothing goes on for a while, but when there is a fire, you’re incident command and there is no room for a mistake. People’s livelihoods depend on you.”

Hodgson says the job of a lookout is often romanticized, but it’s not for everyone. He works primarily at the Lava Butte lookout tower, one that receives a lot of visitors due to its proximity to Bend and the Lava Lands Visitor Center.

Other lookout towers, however, receive very few visitors. Some people like the solitary nature of the job, but others, like Hodgson, appreciate the company.

When Hodgson and the other lookouts aren’t answering questions from

The Round Mountain fire lookout.

fire will grow, according to Hodgson.

That was one of the reasons why the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia River Gorge spread so rapidly—the blustery Gorge acted like a wind funnel.

Despite the pressure and constant vigilance required for the job, Hodgson loves it. He appreciates the expansive views and enjoys working in part of a system that he considers an important part of Oregon’s history.

“People think of something like the Oregon Trail as a big part of Oregon culture, but I think these places are just as special,” he says. “The forest means so many different things to different

people, so it needs to be preserved for different generations.”

Most of the lookout towers were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and haven’t changed much since. They’re part of the National Historic Register, and Hodgson hopes they, along with other historic Forest Service buildings, will continue to be used far into the future.

For those interested in visiting a fire lookout tower, Hodgson suggests the tower at Lava Butte, because it’s the closest tower to Bend and has an interpreter stationed at the top to give people information.

They filter water and keep our rivers and streams pristine, and they clean up waste from plants and animals.

Insects are indisputably the most important creatures on Earth, but they and the other invertebrates are in trouble. One recent review published by the science of entomology estimated that, if losses continue at current rates, over 40% of the world’s insect species may go

know this sounds like Hollywood stuff, but it’s an indisputable scientific fact: If you like to eat potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes and other veggies, you must save the insects that pollinate them. There’s no time to wait. We need to act now.

Large, connected natural lands such as national forests, Bureau of Land Management lands and freshwater systems act as reservoirs for insects—but they’re not enough. We must also address conservation in farmlands and urban areas.

Please, before you grab up the chemical

spray to remove some kind of plant or creepy-crawly that annoys you, stop and think how long that stuff will be in the soil and what will happen to our insect life in the long run — especially when it reaches the water table.

Approximately 40% of global land use is devoted to agriculture and 55% of people live in towns and cities. Roadsides, parks and gardens are providing important habitat for insects and other invertebrates.

The fiasco involving the Oregon Department of Transportation and the death of hundreds of trees along Hwy. 20 outside Sisters is an environmental warning of what can happen when chemicals are applied to the land without understanding the circumstance of such actions. Herbicides can be deadly if applied without caution. Just the loss of the insects that depend on the plants destroyed by herbicides can cause irreversible harm for life on earth.

Please, Good People, listen to the promptings of the man who studied the earth and its life systems his entire life, Aldo Leopold. His “Land Ethic” brings to life the fact that humans have a responsibility to be aware and understand all life around us. Local libraries stock Leopold’s book, “A Sand County Almanac”— please read it and act responsibly to ensure a sense of balance in our Earth.

In that light, please be kind to our world of invertebrates. Even with all the years we’ve been living with them, we still have a long way to go in understanding their role in the welfare of man and the Earth.

If you go to the Xerces Society website (xerces.org) a science-based nonprofit organization that protects wildlife through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitats, you will be starting down the trail of Aldo Leopold’s work and understanding your role in helping the Earth survive man’s errors.

he links between insects and a healthy environment are so vital to life as we know it, they should be taught in kindergarten so that everyone learns the facts at an early age. You can thank an insect pollinator for one out of every three mouthfuls of food you eat— which is what makes spraying chemicals to kill insects in an apple orchard so deadly. Without insects to pollinate fruit crops you don’t get healthy fruit to eat.

Sure, those black flies, the biters in the “No-see-‘em” group, can drive you nuts while you’re fly fishing, but your grilled salmon dinner would have been impossible without them and the other aquatic invertebrates that young fish eat.

Nearly all of our native songbirds raise their young on insects, even quail and other seed-eaters. The swallows that nest in those clever little wooden boxes we put up to help them keep their numbers up are completely dependent on insects to stay alive—many of which we spray deadly chemicals to kill, such as mosquitoes.

Unless you’ve seen the films regarding the food of grizzly bears, this is going to be tough to believe, but without tiny cutworm moths to eat, bears wouldn’t make it. It’s the fat in the insects’ tissues that keeps the bears alive as they sleep though the winter.

In Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, grizzly bears consume up to 40,000 cutworm moths a day. However, the elements driving climate change have been raising the temperature of the air surrounding the mountains to the point where the plants that keep the moths going have died in the lower elevations. Without those moths it will eventually be, “So long, grizzly bears,” along with the various interrelated food chains within their ecosystem.

This is a scientific fact: With well over 1 million known species, insects and other invertebrates eclipse all other

RUN CENTRAL OREGON’S ONLY FULL TRAIL MARATHON

hether buying or selling a home, questions surrounding the process abound. As is a common statement in the vast majority of my columns, the purchase or sale of a property is one the largest investments one will make in their lifetime.

As such, there are bound to be a lot of questions. The sales process is exciting, scary and can be strange at times—and I can guarantee never a dull or vanilla process. My colleagues and I field questions daily, and I want to stress: There are no questions not worth asking!

As the old adage goes, “The only dumb question, is the question that is not asked.”

Are we in another housing bubble? This is a question my colleagues and I get daily. While none of us have a crystal ball, no doubt we wish we do, because who doesn’t wish they were able to predict that their investment was foolproof? No one can answer the question of the future. That said, I can tell you what’s different from the myriad of factors that led to the real estate crash of late 2008 and subsequent years.

As a result of the real estate crash we’ve come to know as the “Great Recession,” lending guidelines have changed dramatically. Gone are the days of stated income loans. No longer are the days where a buyer doesn’t have to unequivocally prove with written documentation that they are able to afford the monthly mortgage based on their debt-to-income ratio. Lending guidelines are far stricter than they were some 11 years ago, and these new guidelines, while not fail-safe, do help protect and insulate the real estate market from a rash of encumbered inventory flooding the market, thereby

limiting the chances of another “bubble.” Long story short, so long as the current guidelines stay intact, we will not see another “bubble.” Prices will fluctuate, of course, but to assume that there will be another “2008-2010” market is almost akin to betting that the University of Oregon’s football team will not go to a bowl game in the next five years.

Personal Property vs. Fixtures: This is a common question and can also be confusing. A fixture, defined

by Merriam-Webster, is property other than real property consisting of things temporary or removable. The most common examples of this in real estate are refrigerators and washer/dryers. These examples are considered to be by Oregon law, personal property.

They are not affixed to walls or countertops and are removable/temporary.

One of the easiest ways to look at personal property versus a fixture is: can it be unplugged and removed without removing anything that attaches it to the structure?

If you’re not sure, ask, and ask again.

Your real estate professional is able to answer these questions for you. The last thing anyone wants is to assume on what is included, only to find out that the refrigerator is not a permanent fixture on moving day with a cooler full of perishables.

In future issues, I’ll be answering FAQs I receive from clients and would love to hear your questions. Please feel free to contact me with questions you would like for me to address in this column series. Please email me at christinhunter@windermere.com with things you’d like to know about real estate and I’ll be happy to address them in future columns.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Baptism by Liar

Believing...Again

Well, on the upside, he isn’t afraid to express his feelings. On the downside, if you’re like many women, you prefer your relationships long-form — more Nicholas Sparks’ “The Notebook” than 3M’s “The Post-it Note.”

You aren’t the only one on these calls who buys into everything the guy says he has in store for you (and no, I’m not suggesting there’s an FBI agent listening in from a “cable company” van).

While this guy is on the phone with you, chances are he believes what he’s telling you — which is to say, deception has a brother, and it’s self-deception.

Evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers defines self-deception as “the active misrepresentation of reality to the conscious mind.” As for how the self can end up being “both the deceiver and the deceived,” Trivers and fellow evolutionary researcher William von Hippel explain that our mind seems to have “information-processing biases” that “favor welcome over unwelcome information” in a way that reflects our goals.

(Think rose-colored horse blinders.)

Trivers and von Hippel note that believing our own hooey helps us sell it to other people: If you aren’t conscious that you’re lying, you won’t be burdened by the mental costs of maintaining “two separate representations of reality” or show physical signs of nervousness at possibly getting caught, such as a higher-pitched voice.

Understanding all of this, you should probably go easy on yourself for being a bit of a slow learner on the “fool me twice” thing. If this guy was also putting one over on himself in these phone conversations, that probably made it much more believable to you. Mark him as emotionally toxic and come up with a plan in case he calls again. Options include blocking his number, not picking up, or

Done Juan I went on three or four dates with this dude, and he said it wasn’t really working for him and stopped calling.

I’m kind of confused about what went wrong or what put him off. My friends tell me to leave it alone.

Doesn’t he owe me more of an explanation for why he isn’t interested anymore, considering we went on multiple dates?

— Baffled You are owed: 1.

The correct change. 2.

Amy Alkon The news that a guy you’ve been dating is no longer interested. Period. It is not his job to tell you that you are, say, bad in bed or have all the table manners of a coyote on recent roadkill.

Still, it’s understandable that you’re pining for an explanation. Research by psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggests that being in a state of uncertainty—not knowing what’s what—makes us very uncomfortable. It makes sense that we evolved to feel this way, as going through the world in a state of ignorance would not exactly increase our chances of survival, mating, and passing on our genes: “Oh, what a pretty berry! Here’s hoping it won’t cause violent convulsions and death!”

However, there is a way to alleviate the mental itchiness from not knowing, even in cases where there’s no way to know what really happened. You could say that we believe what we think — and especially what we repeatedly think. Studies by memory researcher Elizabeth Loftus find that every time we recall a story (or even something we’re told might have happened to us) it encodes it more deeply in our minds, often to the point where it starts to seem like it actually happened.

In line with this, come up with a story for why the guy bailed—ideally one that’s easy on your ego—and tell it to yourself repeatedly. For example, imagine him saying, “I just remembered that I’m emotionally unavailable” or, if that seems a little boring, “Your slight nose whistle is actually endearing, but it seems to have a thing for Dave Matthews covers, and I just can’t stand that band.”

43 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 26 / JUNE 27, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I was talking with this guy whom I’ve known for over six years who lives a plane ride away. It was late at night on a weekend, and he was saying all this mushy sexy stuff and how he wanted to fly me out to his city, blah, blah, blah. Afterward, he never called or texted again. It’s been weeks now. He’s done this before — come on really hot and heavy and then disappeared. And he doesn’t drink or do drugs, so that isn’t an explanation. Why do men do this?

— Feeling Dumb For

figuring out how to control the conversation if he veers off into Sweetnothingsville. On a positive note, it does seem he’s accidentally telling the truth in one area: You do seem to be the woman of his dreams — as you always vanish from his consciousness as soon as he wakes up.

Some progress at the state and federal level; locally, however, another denial

By Jeremy Dickman

O

regon’s weed industry has many enemies. From the Drug Enforcement Agency, to the U.S. Justice Department, to local-government hostiles who perpetuate reefer-madness myths, to an endless parade of complicated regulations and taxes; it’s a scary world out there for pot proprietors.

But the biggest enemy may be a result of the sticky icky itself: Oversupply.

Market analysts believe Oregon cannabis supply outpaces demand by double, meaning there is a surplus of 2.3 million pounds of marijuana from last year’s harvest alone. Unfortunately, there is very little to be done—within the bounds of the law—to cure that problem. Marijuana’s status as a Schedule 1 narcotic makes it verboten to smuggle the plant across state lines, even if the destination is California, Washington or Nevada—all states bordering Oregon that have passed laws legalizing recreational marijuana.

Luckily, a progressive legislature in Salem is making sure Oregon will be poised to take advantage of nationwide demand, should the federal government come to its senses and legalize cannabis on the federal level. Earlier this month, the Oregon House passed SB 582, which creates a legal framework for marijuana licensees in Oregon to export marijuana to proprietors in other states where the plant is legal to possess, process and sell.

Gov. Kate Brown, always a vocal proponent of Oregon’s marijuana industry, is poised to sign it into law, perhaps before you read these words.

The nuts and bolts of the law are, so far, pretty simple. The legislation authorizes the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to enact regulations to track and trace the export or import of marijuana upon a change in either federal law, or federal Department of Justice policy.

Even a memorandum from the Justice Department “allowing or tolerating the interstate transfer of marijuana items between authorized marijuana-related businesses” would trigger the legislation.

That said, even the Cole Memorandum—the Obama-era DOJ memo that told the feds to stand down in the face of state law concerning marijuana businesses—expressly forbade the interstate transfer of marijuana items. Accordingly, don’t expect anything short of a new U.S. president and an official Drug Enforcement Administration blessing to make Oregon the nation’s Idaho potatoes of weed.

Marijuana scores its biggest congressional win ever On June 20, Congress approved a rider within an appropriations bill for

the 2020 fiscal year budget that would prohibit the federal government from interfering with the marijuana industry in states where recreational sale is legal. A bipartisan majority voted 267-165 to prevent the Department of Justice from enforcing parts of the Controlled Substances Act against Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado and the other states and federal territories where adult-use legislation has been passed.

This passage was probably seen as inevitable. A similar bill in 2015 came up just nine votes short, and in the four years hence, the number of states passing adult-use laws has doubled. This means far more congressional representatives have constituents who stand to benefit from less federal enforcement.

It’s a clear sign that, yes, state “laboratories of democracy” can, indeed, wag the federal dog and inch us closer to the end of prohibition.

Still, the rider may face doom in a Senate dominated by Republicans. (While 41 GOP members supported it, most House Republicans voted against the rider.)

More marijuana legislation is snaking its way through Washington, D.C., including a spending bill that would protect banks from enforcement by the feds if they work with cannabis companies, and bills giving veterans more access to cannabis medicine/counseling through the Veterans Administration.

Tumalo dispensary blocked … for now In a public hearing June 19, the Deschutes County Commissioners ratified a denial of a marijuana retail application proposed for Tumalo, with Commissioner Phil Henderson phoning into the meeting specifically to cast his voice-vote to adopt the denial. Commissioner Tony DeBone was clear in his opposition.

“I said my piece a few times,” DeBone said. “I do not approve the way this document was written.” Acting Chairperson Patti Adair voted with Henderson, as usual.

The denial centrally located itself to the problem of an easement dispute between the dispensary applicant and a neighbor—a disagreement they believed was headed for civil litigation. But the truth is that land-use officials don’t typically opine on how they feel potential civil litigation would be resolved with respect to a conditional use … unless morally objectionable devil’s lettuce is weighing heavily on their conscience.

The fact that Henderson telephoned in for this vote—and no others—speaks volumes.
