Plenty of people have plenty to say about the extreme swings of Oregon’s politics. While the state maintains a Democratic majority in the legislature, most of the state east of the Cascades tends to vote Republican. When the two sides meet in Salem, sometimes those differences of opinion can lead to clashes, or even outright work stoppages. And while much attention gets placed on the voting that happens in November in order to send those people to the state legislature, it’s in May that we can actually see the partisanship unfolding. It is here, during the primaries, that the most extreme views of each party are on display.

Among the Republicans we’ve so far talked to in preparation for the May primary, some have no qualms about stating that the current commander in chief is Donald Trump, not the rightfully elected Joe Biden. They’re trotting out conspiracy theories about stolen elections in a mail-in ballot state that stands as a model many other states hope to emulate. And the list of partisan virtue-signaling goes on and on.

This is concerning at the state level, to be sure, but one place that it certainly doesn’t belong is at the county level, where county clerks administer the free and fair elections that our state is known for. County commissioners primarily traffic in the relatively mundane business of land use, road maintenance, overseeing county health and managing the landfill. Why, then, would we need extreme partisan politics rearing its head in this ho-hum corner of local government?

When we have primaries that allow only people registered with a particular party to vote in them, we sow a much more extreme version of politics than is necessary. We want our county commissioners to be steady, measured bureaucrats, not sword-bearing partisans out for a fight—especially when

you consider that over a third of voters in Deschutes County are not affiliated with any party at all.

Some would argue that the way to get around this is to simply register with one of the parties right before the election in order to take part in a party’s primary. Rather than spending precious time conducting that form of political gymnastics, we’d rather see people spending their time researching candidates for their values, for their commitment to the job, for the ways they propose to improve the lives of others through their service.

Two efforts are underway right now to make some changes. At the state level, a group called Oregon Open Primaries is working to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot. Also, in Deschutes County, voters have an option to do away with the unnecessary partisanship in county elections.

A group of people, among them members of the League of Women Voters of Deschutes County, have been gathering signatures for the better part of a year in an effort to get a measure on the local ballot in November, asking voters to decide whether to make the county race non-partisan.

The local effort needs 5,766 signatures from Deschutes County voters in order to make it onto the ballot. They had collected 4,354 as of April 10—no small feat considering there’s been a global pandemic, and signatures needed to be gathered in person. With more than a third of us in this county choosing to not be affiliated with any party— whether they’re the supermajority type or the walkout type—our local elections should be free of that binary.

Change your voter affiliation right now (you have ‘til April 26) if you want to vote in the primary, but for real political change, support the effort to strip party politics out of our elections.

GUEST OPINION: A FARMER’S PLEA TO CHANGE WATER LAWS IN OREGON

that is non-native), and they only need to “prove” this beneficial use every five years. A patron can grow 20 acres of mixed vegetables on highly efficient drip irrigation or 20 acres of lawn with flood irrigation. The eight local irrigation districts all receive different allotments of water even though some produce mostly food and some produce mostly golf courses. Some patrons pay laborers to irrigate their second home properties, and some make their entire living and feed their families from their irrigated land. All of these patrons are within their rights in Oregon water laws.

Water should be prioritized for wildlife and rivers, clean drinking water and food-producing farms above all else. These are our basic necessities as humans, and yet we forget. We are so willing to sell our basic necessities for manufactured ones that we make our lands unlivable.

There is enough water in the Deschutes River for our growing basic needs; we just need to redefine who gets water, what “beneficial use” is, and how much water each patron is receiving.

Oregon water laws and irrigation regulations are archaic. It is time we modernize our laws with our current needs, environmental impacts and climate.

POLITICIAN KURT SCHRADER IS MISLEADING CENTRAL OREGONIANS

Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. The Oregonian reported, “Rep. Kurt Schrader of Oregon helps kill drug pricing bill, endangering Biden infrastructure plan.”

Schrader did participate in the negotiations that followed, but in support of the pharma industry. Once the bill had been significantly weakened (fewer drugs covered, lower discounts), he finally voted for it. The bill remains in limbo in the Senate. Oregonians will not be seeing lower drug prices anytime soon. Schrader delivered nothing.

And his claims that he “led legislation to cap insulin costs”? Fiction. The bill that just passed the House, HR 6833, was introduced by Rep. Angie Craig. Schrader didn’t even bother to sign on as a co-sponsor. Plus, someone should tell him that insulin is a liquid, not a pill like in his ads.

It’s not surprising that Schrader was the #1 Democrat recipient of pharma industry PAC money in 2021 (source: Opensecrets.org).

Fortunately, we have the opportunity to replace a professional politician with a person of integrity this May. Jamie McLeod-Skinner is an engineer and small business owner from Terrebonne with deep experience in community building and natural resources. And she’s never taken a dime from corporate PACs. Vote for integrity. Vote McLeod-Skinner.

As a local farmer in Central Oregon, I am writing today out of desperation, out of panic, and from the heaviest heart.

But I am also writing out of hope. If Oregon can make some changes to water laws and regulations, and fast, we may only have to endure one more season of desperation, panic and pain.

I co-own and farm Boundless Farmstead, where we tend our 20-acre property in Alfalfa. We grow enough produce to feed a 90-family Community Supported Agriculture, to sell to a dozen different restaurants, attend two farmers markets and provide produce to farm stands across Central Oregon.

Last year was challenging for all agricultural growers in Central Oregon—some districts lost water as early as July, some were on very low allotment and everyone had to make strategic decisions about water use. Our farm received 50-60% of our typical allotment of water for almost the entire season. We worked in sweltering heat all of July and we made decisions about which plants would suffer. We were fortunate in getting 60% of our allotment compared to our farmer kin in other irrigation districts who dried up large parcels, paid large sums for hay and feed (that they typically grew), sold off livestock and fallowed farmable land.

All of this hardship, all of this suffering, all of this land wasting away is the product of a broken water distribution system. While we are definitely in the grasp of an unprecedented drought and in the throes of climate disaster, there is still enough water here and now to produce a wide range of food here in Central Oregon.

Currently, irrigation water is given to patrons as long as they prove “beneficial use” (meaning growing anything

Former Bend Running Back Charged with Murder WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / APRIL 14, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Amara Marluke’s family claims former Mountain View running back Keenan Harpole physically and psychologically abused Marluke before taking her life

Deschutes County Sheriffs arrested Keenan Harpole in Bend around 8:30 am on April 4 for allegedly shooting and killing Amara Marluke around 1 am on April 4 near the Portland State University campus. The sheriff’s office transported Harpole to Multnomah County and turned him over to the Portland Police Bureau. Harpole pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon and is being held on a no-bail warrant.

Marluke was a 19-year-old artist, activist and freshman at PSU where she was pursuing a music degree. Harpole was also a first-year student and former member of PSU’s football team, though he had left the team, according to the University. Marluke’s aunt told People Magazine the pair had been in an on-again-off-again relationship and that Harpole engaged in domestic violence shortly after the relationship began in the summer of 2021.

“The detective told me that she had passed and I just couldn’t believe it.

And I still can’t, I’m still, I’m still struggling,” Marluke’s mother, Amy Marluke, told KATU-2. “There was a community around her trying to get her away, and to get her to stay away. But I think we all thought that there would be time— that there would be a chance for her, to heal and to make a different choice. And it just escalated so quickly.”

A Washington Post report found that nearly half of all women who were murdered in the decade prior were killed by

a current or former partner. More than a third of men who commit domestic killings had proclivities toward violence and had been convicted of domestic abuse, were party to a restraining order, or committed other violent crimes.

Hundreds of people gathered at the PSU campus on Saturday to remember and celebrate Marluke and advocate for a more proactive approach to domestic violence.

“We hope to learn from that experience and have that energy part of it because her experience at Portland State makes us very sure that she is the very best of Portland State, we want to honor and treasure her,” PSU President Stephen Percy told KATU-2.

Harpole graduated from Mountain View High School in 2019 where he was voted the offensive and defensive most valuable player. Goviks.com, PSU’s

official athletics website, said Harpole was majoring in applied health and fitness. Online court records show Harpole will appear in court next on April 14 to be arraigned on a pending indictment.

Code Changes Could Expand Shelter Capacity

The Bend City Council heard a report on changes recommended by the planning commission that could get it closer to the goal of 500 shelter beds

By Jack Harvel The Bend City Council heard a report on proposed shelter code changes at its regular meeting on April 6.

The controversial amendments are meant to increase the number of available shelter beds by clarifying zoning requirements for shelters.

The Sounding Board to House our Neighbors, which drafted the new code, is a committee formed by the City and made up of members of the city council, Bend’s planning commission and leaders in homelessness, housing and economic development. The Sounding Board held meetings from April to December of last year and surveyed over 850 residents while drafting code amendments.

The new code differentiates permanent and temporary types of shelters. Temporary types of shelter include hardship shelters, which allow homeowners to let RVs, manufactured homes and mobile homes park

on their property for as long as 18 months for someone experiencing housing instability. Temporary shelters can resemble several different types of shelters and are limited to 180 days. They will be allowed in residential zones but only if a building has a non-residential use like a church.

“The proposed amendments to the Bend development code as recommended by the Sounding Board create three new permanent type shelters. It’d be group shelters, outdoor shelters and multi-room shelters,” said Pauline Hardie, senior code planner in the meeting.

The new code defines a group shelter as a building that has one or more sleeping areas, like the shelter operated by Shepherd’s House on Second Street, while an outdoor shelter is a site without a centralized building but can have tents, tiny homes or RVs. A multi-room

shelter, meanwhile, has individual sleeping rooms. The most controversial aspect of the code change allows outdoor shelters to exist in residential areas.

On Feb. 16 the City Council dropped plans to create an outdoor shelter off Ninth Street after backlash over its proximity to two schools, trails and homes.

The City Council will do a first reading of the amended code at its meeting on April 20.

Additional codes require shelter operators to prove they’ve set good neighbor guidelines and to communicate with neighbors before the shelter is running.

City staff also emphasized what the code doesn’t do, like regulate operations, exempt shelters from general zoning rules, require shelters be built, supersede homeowners’ covenants, conditions and restrictions, or regulate camps on public property.

Stevens Road Survey

The final round of public comment is underway for a 261-acre plot of land in southeast Bend that could create up to 2,476 new housing units

By Jack Harvel last year and identified broad principles that could be built upon. The highest principles included preserving the natural environment (20%), opportunities for affordable housing (13%) and creating recreational opportunities (11%).

The second online open house on the issue went out on Feb. 20 which garnered 36 responses and laid out three different scenarios that the City could pursue.

Scenario 1 proposes the land be developed with current market trends and City policies. It would add 1,660 housing units, 49% of which would be detached single dwellings and the remaining either middle housing or multi-family dwellings. Scenario 2 prioritizes a mix of housing types and plans for 1,935 new housing units, 42% being detached homes. Scenario 3 favors density and a third of the proposed 2,476 new housing units would be detached homes.

Scenario 3 also maintains the most open space, with about 39 acres dedicated to parks, open spaces and trails.

Respondents preferred scenario 3, with it edging out the others in categories like livability (41%), best opportunity for places to work (47%), best for places to play (67%) and best overall scenario (47%). Written responses showed people preferred scenario 3 because it leaves the most open space, while others noted it would add the most housing units to the Central Oregon’s undersupplied housing market.

Those who preferred other scenarios noted their preference to single-family homes, that some industrially zoned areas would bring better employment opportunities and that it’d fit better with the surrounding areas.

The City launched its final round of survey questions on April 5, and it’ll run until midnight on April 17. Questions

regarding values and which scenarios are preferred are both included in the final option for public comment. The background information provided on the survey page differentiates the options more concretely than prior attempts, and lists tradeoffs for each plan.

The Stevens Road Tract got a nod from the state on April 12 when the Oregon State Land Board submitted a letter of support to the Department of Land Conservation and Development, giving its consent to the City to pursue incorporating Stevens Road Tract into the UGB. The City must have an approved concept plan to the DLCD by July 1, after which Bend can amend the City’s comprehensive plan and land use regulations to incorporate the property by Jan. 1, 2025, before it can ultimately be sold.

Farmworkers Overworked

Researchers found Oregon farmworkers suffered dehumanizing experiences during the pandemic

By Jack Harvel Between February and July of 2021 researchers conducted 48 interviews with farmworkers in agricultural regions throughout the state, concluding that farmworkers endured unsafe and dehumanizing experiences throughout the pandemic.

Farmworkers often lack protections afforded to most professions. They can be fired for union activity and aren’t owed overtime, two protections enshrined in the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act. Farms that don’t hire more than seven workers in a calendar year are exempt from all FLSA provisions, including minimum wage. Oregon became the eighth state to grant overtime pay to most farmworkers during its short session this year.

The study, a collaboration between Oregon State University, Portland State University, the University of Oregon, Oregon Health and Science University, the California Institute for Rural Studies and dozens of community care organizations, follows up on a survey conducted between August and September of 2020, and goes into greater depth on the personal experiences farmworkers face. The study documents lack of workforce COVID protections, food insecurity, wage loss, the child care crisis and lack of access to information for medical, social and economic support.

“Over the years that I’ve taught, I still have to remind people that the way food gets to our table is by people’s hands,” said Professor Ron Mize, an author of the study, in a press release. “It’s hard labor that’s really poorly remunerated that keeps our food prices low, keeps our food plentiful, keeps food on our table; and yet we consistently neglect the reality that farmworkers are fundamental to our food system.”

Fifty-three percent of those interviewed said

The workers who helped put food on our tables during the pandemic did so at considerable risk.

they didn’t feel protected in the workplace, and just as many said they’d tested positive during the time frame of the interviews. Communicating COVID-era protections often failed to cross the language barrier, especially among the 30% of respondents who are indigenous and speak Mesoamerican languages rather than Spanish.

“If you go home and take the test and you come out positive, well, they do pay you. I said, ‘if I stay at home and I don’t come out positive, they won’t pay me my days that I am going to be home and what am I going to do?’ So, I stayed at work and, well, I worked with my precautions. I worked it out in my mind that if I had

symptoms or something like that, well, I was going to tell them,” said a woman identified by the pseudonym Amelia in the study, a 47-year-old berry harvester.

The report ends with a list of 14 policy recommendations, including strengthening the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s worksite auditing activities, expanding overtime eligibility and providing access to culturally informed mental health services.

“Too often, the standards for what’s OK for farmworkers are different from what’s OK for everybody else,” Mize said. “OSHA can be held responsible, farms can be held responsible, and we as a collective public can be held responsible.”

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 15 / APRIL 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The City of Bend is holding its final public open house for people to weigh in on the Stevens Road Tract Concept Plan, a 261-acre plot in southeast Bend.

The western portion of the Stevens Road Tract, called the Stevens Ranch Master Plan, was brought into Bend’s urban growth boundary in 2016 and the City is now trying to bring the rest of it under House Bill 3318.

The bill lays out a process for a City to expand its UGB outside of its normal timeline, but also requires certain things for new developments like recreational spaces, having multiple types of housing and ensuring adequate capacity for water, sewer and stormwater systems.

The City’s been gathering public input on three different ways the land could be developed.

Noticias en Español Campesinos agotados Por Jack Harvel Traducido por/Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar Entre febrero y julio de 2021, investigadores llevaron a cabo 48 entrevistas con trabajadores agrícolas en zonas agricultoras de todo el estado, concluyendo que los trabajadores agrícolas padecieron vivencias peligrosas e inhumanas durante la pandemia.

A menudo, los trabajadores agrícolas carecen de la protección otorgada a la mayoría de las profesiones. Pueden correrlos debido a llevar a cabo actividades sindicales y no se les paga horas extras de trabajo, dos de las protecciones plasmadas en la Ley Nacional de Relaciones Laborales y la Ley de Normas Laborales Justas (FLSA por sus siglas en inglés). Las fincas que no contraten a más de siete trabajadores al año están exentas de todas las regulaciones por parte de FLSA, incluido el salario mínimo. Oregon se convirtió en el octavo estado en otorgar pago por horas extras de trabajo a la mayoría de los trabajadores agrícolas durante su corta temporada de trabajo de este año.

El estudio, el cual fue una colaboración entre la Universidad del Estado de Oregon, la Universidad del Estado de Portland, la Universidad de Oregon, la Universidad de Ciencias y Salud de Oregon, el Instituto de Estudios Rurales de California y docenas de organizaciones para el servicio comunitario, da seguimiento en una encuesta realizada entre agosto y septiembre de 2020 y profundiza más en las experiencias personales que los trabajadores agrícolas enfrentan.

El estudio documenta la falta de protección contra el COVID en la fuerza laboral, la inseguridad de alimentos, la pérdida de ingresos, la crisis en el cuidado infantil y la falta de acceso a la información para el apoyo médico, social y económico.

“A través de los años que he enseñado, le tengo que seguir recordando a la gente que la forma en la que llega el alimento a nuestra mesa es a través de las manos de la gente,” dijo en una rueda de prensa el profesor Ron Mize, autor del estudio.

“Es un trabajo difícil y mal pagado, lo cual mantiene bajo el precio de los alimentos, hace que tengamos suficiente comida; y, aun así, descuidamos constantemente el hecho que los trabajadores agrícolas son fundamentales para el sistema alimenticio.

Cincuenta y tres por ciento de las personas entrevistadas dijeron que no se sentían protegidas en el espacio laboral y muchas personas dijeron que salieron positivas durante el transcurso de las entrevistas. A menudo, las protecciones durante la era de COVID no fueron comunicadas debido a la barrera del idioma, especialmente entre el 30% de las personas encuestadas, las cuales son indígenas y hablan otro idioma Mesoamericano en lugar del idioma español.

El reporte termina con una lista de 14 recomendaciones, incluyendo el fortalecimiento de las actividades de auditoría en el lugar de trabajo de la Administración de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional, la ampliación de la elegibilidad para las horas de trabajo extra y el acceso a los servicios de salud mental impartidos culturalmente.

Noticias en Español Ex corredor de campo de Bend acusado de asesinato Por Jack Harvel Traducido por/Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar La policía del condado Deschutes arresto a Keenan Harpole el 4 de abril in Bend alrededor de las 8:30 por presunto disparo y por matar a Amara Marluke alrededor de la 1 am cerca del plantel de la Universidad del Estado de Portland (PSU por sus siglas en inglés). La oficina del alguacil transportó a Harpole al Condado Multnomah y lo entregó a la policía de Portland. Hardpole se declaró inocente a los cargos de asesinato de segundo grado y por el uso ilegal de un arma y está detenido sin oportunidad de fianza.

Marluke era una artista de 19 años, activista y cursaba su primer año de universidad en PSU para terminar su licenciatura en música. Harpole también estaba cursando el primer año de universidad y llegó a formar parte del grupo de fútbol americano, aunque según a Universidad, tuvo que dejar el equipo. La tía de Marluke le dijo a la revista People que la pareja estuvo saliendo y que empleó violencia doméstica poco después de haber comenzado la relación en el verano de 2021.

“El detective me dijo que había fallecido y no podía creerlo. Y sigo sin creerlo, sigo…me sigo resistiendo,” le dijo la madre de Marluke a KATU-2, la señora Amy Marluke. Había personas alrededor de ella tratando de alejarla y para ayudarla a que se mantuviera alejada. Pero, creo que todos pensamos que habría tiempo, que habría una oportunidad para que ella sanara y para que eligiera algo diferente. Simplemente se agravaron las cosas rápidamente.”

Un reporte de A Washington Post report encontró que cerca de la mitad de todas las mujeres que fueron asesinadas en la década anterior fueron asesinadas por su pareja anterior o actual. Más de un tercio de los hombres que cometen asesinatos domésticos eran propensos a la violencia y habían sido condenados por abuso doméstico, tenían alguna orden de restricción o habían cometido otros delitos violentos.

Artists Tackle Climate Change

By Bill Forman

James Marcus Haney

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / APRIL 14, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

10

As they return to touring, some musical acts are making moves to sound the alarm, and even make their tours more sustainable

Coldplay, which announced in 2019 it wouldn’t tour again until “concerts are environmentally beneficial,” has since begun touring again after taking a number of steps to reduce energy consumption and make their stages from more sustainable materials.

In the current climate of political and corporate greenwashing, it’s hard to gauge the sincerity, let alone feasibility, of the Music Climate Pact.

Announced recently with considerable fanfare, the MCP is a declaration of intent by the Big Three major labels (Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group) to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Of course, a lot can happen — or not happen —between now and then, so it remains to be seen whether the record industry will make good on that pledge.

In the meantime, a number of artists have already begun taking steps to reduce touring’s carbon footprint on their own. The highest-profile among them is Coldplay, who declared back in 2019 that the band would not tour again until “concerts are environmentally beneficial.”

Last October, the mega-platinum pop act ended its moratorium, announcing a 2022 tour that’s designed to cut CO2 emissions by 50% compared to their 2016-2017 tour.

The 46-date world stadium tour will include “kinetic floors’’ that harness the

energy of fans jumping up and down on them, the planting of a tree for each ticket sold, and building stages made out of recycled metal and bamboo.

Fellow Brits Massive Attack, meanwhile, is planning its own 2022 tour, this one applying the principles of a 2019 Manchester University study that the trip-hop pioneers commissioned to explore ways for bands — and the music industry as a whole — to reduce their negative impact on the environment.

The challenge, said band co-founder Robert Del Naja, is to take concrete steps rather than “pledges, promises and greenwashing headlines.”

We shall see. In the meantime, more and more musicians from around the world have been sounding the environmental alarm through their songs, a practice that dates back to the 1927 Mississippi River Flood that left more than a half-million homeless and was commemorated by Bessie Smith’s “Backwater Blues” and Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “Rising High Water Blues.”

Five decades later, Gil Scott-Heron would record “We Almost Lost Detroit,” about the meltdown of a nuclear power plant 30 miles outside the city. Randy

Newman’s “Burn On,” Spirit’s “Nature’s Way,” and R.E.M.’s “Cuyahoga” were all inspired by the polluted Cleveland river that burst into flames back in 1969. And then there’s Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” Mos Def’s “New World Water,” Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology),” The Pixies’ “Monkey Gone to Heaven,” and pretty much anything by Pete Seeger.

Cut to present-day New Orleans, where Alynda Mariposa Segarra — the self-described “nature punk” who records and performs under the name Hurray for the Riff Raff — has released “Life on Earth,” which has already been hailed by “Uncut” magazine as the first great album of 2022.

“Life on Earth” finds Segarra drawing inspiration from a typically eclectic variety of sources, including The Clash, Bad Bunny, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, and author Adrienne Maree Brown’s “Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds.”

“Everything I have is gone, I don’t know what it’ll take to carry on,” she sings on the album’s first single “Rhododendron,” which would not sound out of place on a mixtape between Courtney

Barnett and Lou Reed.

“We’re hit with hurricanes every year,” Segarra told “The Guardian,” “yet plant life is thriving. It was very comforting to look at these living beings and be like: ‘I don’t know how to survive this. How the f*** do you survive this?’”

Over in France, the death metal band Gojira took a less pastoral approach on “Amazonia,” a single from last year’s “Fortitude” album. “Godly Amazonia / Bloody Amazonia / Mighty Amazonia / Killing Amazonia,” growls vocalist Joe Duplantier over an arrangement that pairs indigenous instruments with pummeling drums and punishing guitar riffs.

Gojira are also environmental activists who’ve raised money for causes ranging from The Coalition of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a nonprofit dedicated to “securing justice for the sea.” The latter organization, which has made a reputation with its direct actions against whaling ships, expressed its gratitude to the band by renaming one of its biodiesel-fueled vessels the MV Gojira.

Canada, meanwhile, is home to The Weather Station, aka Tamara

FEATURE beach and being like a prettier Jesus.

“I’m not a climate activist, I’m a pop star,” Lorde told one interviewer. “I stoke the fire of a giant machine, spitting out emissions as I go. There is a lot I don’t know.”

Which brings us, finally, to Australia’s Midnight Oil, who famously took the stage at the 2000 Olympics’ closing ceremony in Sydney and, before a stadium of 115,000 people and a global television audience of billions more, launched into “Beds Are Burning,” an impossibly catchy, stridently political anthem about giving back the land appropriated from Australia’s indigenous population.

In the two decades since, the group has been relatively quiet, in large part due to frontman Peter Garrett’s responsibilities as a Member of the House of Representatives and subsequently Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts. But three months ago, Midnight Oil released the video for a new song, “Rising Seas,” which opens with images of oil rigs, wildfires and a Youth For Climate march.

“Every child put down your toys, and come inside to sleep,” sings Garrett.

“We have to look you in the eye and say we sold you cheap.” It’s easy to be cynical about music’s power to impact society.

John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance” wasn’t responsible for ending the Vietnam War, the No Nukes concerts of the ’70s didn’t shut down nuclear power plants, Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit” didn’t put an end to Southern racism.

But there’s still the real possibility that an artist’s work can, over time, shape people’s attitudes and beliefs. And if not, at least they tried.

Akasha Rebut

Hurray for the Riff Raff’s 2022 album, already named one of the year’s best, draws inspiration from The Clash, Bad Bunny, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, and author Adrienne Maree Brown’s “Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds.”

11 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 15 / APRIL 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Lindeman, a former child actor whose 2021 album, “Ignorance,” combines chamber-folk introspection, metronomic beats and environmental grief. Lindeman began writing the songs on the album after reading an essay by environmentalist Bill McKibben, which was published at the height of 2018’s California wildfires.

“Thinking I should get all this dying off my mind,” Lindeman sings on one track. “I should really know better than to read the headlines.”

Down in Colombia, the electronic cumbia duo Bomba Estéreo has followed up on its single, “Déjame Respirar,” which translates to “Let Me Breathe,” with “Deja,” a 13-track concept album about the environment that’s divided into four sections: water, air, earth and fire. Released last September, the album was recorded at a coastal home studio, with the sound of nearby monkeys, birds and waves appearing throughout. Guest vocalists on “Deja” include Afro-Cuban duo Okan, Mexican songwriter Leonel Garcia, Nigerian singer Yemi Alade and Santa Marta shaman Manuel Nieves, who reminds us that “On this Earth, our obligation is to maintain Mom Nature.”

And then there’s Lorde, the New Zealand singer-songwriter who is about to embark on a 43-date tour to promote her third album, “Solar Power,” which she described in an online post as “a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors.”

Lorde recorded “Solar Power” after a five-day trip through Antarctica. But in spite of its title and origins, she insists the album is not her big climate change record, a promise borne out by singles like “Stoned at the Nail Salon” and a title track that celebrates selfies on the

Catch warm rhythms from Oregon Fryer this Friday as the band returns to Volcanic

By Isaac Biehl Courtesy Oregon Fryer

Oregon Fryer comes with one of the best live shows in town.

The stylings of Bend’s Oregon Fryer pull energy from blues, country, rock ‘n roll and Americana, creating a sound that will have you transported to a bubbling speakeasy one moment and a ground-stomping barn party the next. The five-piece has been bringing joy to Central Oregonians since coming together in 2016, and this Friday night it will put on a rocking party with the Fair Trade Boogie Band at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. This will be Oregon Fryer’s first show back at VTP since the pandemic began.

“We’re super excited. We’ve got to play with them [Fair Trade Boogie Band] one time before, but they lay down some serious good music,” says Billy Burks, acoustic guitar player of Oregon Fryer. “And we’re happy to be back at Volcanic. It’s our first time playing there again in years.”

The makeup of Oregon Fryer is what makes the music so fun. Every person in the band sings and writes. There’s Burks, Lucas James on keyboard, Mai Hyman on electric guitar, Greg Weber on bass and Greg Copley on drums.

Each band member will bring songs to the table, and from there they just kind of let it happen. Generally the first recording ends up being better than the next five, but that’s part of this flowing process. Or as Burks says, “Throw it in the fryer and see what happens.”

“It started out more like this idea of this Western kind of music. And then all of a sudden when we got together, it started making its own sound and all those influences started coming up. It just ended up there,” he says.

Drummer Greg Copley echoes that sentiment about Oregon Fryer’s creativity, chemistry and overall esteem for each other as musicians.

“There’s a lot of trust from everyone in the band to bring in something new that’s baked, or not baked, to some degree. And then to just trust everyone in the band to make it something,” says

Copley, who finds it hard to pick just one favorite Oregon Fryer song. “It can change night to night. I find myself surprised. There are songs we’ve played for years where one night it will be the best take we’ve ever done of it. It’s just a blast to play with these guys.”

With only one project out so far, dubbed the “Greatest Hits” album, Oregon Fryer’s members say they have plans to work on some new recordings in the future. Still, naming the first album “Greatest Hits” was a good call in retrospect. For starters, it’s very funny.

I’m not sure if my suggestion of “Greatest Hits Vol. II” for their follow up will happen, but naming your band’s first project “Greatest Hits” is awesome.

“Those were just the simplest songs we knew how to play then. We figured, we didn’t know how many chances we’d get to record stuff. We wanted to make sure we got those ones out of the way,” laughs Copley. “We have the opposite problem of most bands. We have too many songs.”

Copley says the band is currently mixing some live recordings from a McMenamins set in February and will probably share some of those songs later this year. There’s also talk of a new album coming. Until then, Oregon Fryer is looking forward to a more normal Central Oregon summer of live music. Even during the downtime of the pandemic, Oregon Fryer worked at improving their already strong performing skills.

“The people that come out, they really stoke the energy. The shows really feel like a place we get to together,” says Burks. “We made a big leap over those two years when no one was watching.”

In the song, “Think I’ll Stay,” Jesse Daniel opens with the lyric, “I got outta work and felt like shootin’ pool/Or maybe do a little drinkin' if I can find an empty stool.”

The rest of the album, “Beyond These Walls” follows with this simple storytelling that finds itself compelling through relatability and precision. The album tells of longing for someplace lost, heartbreak and even tosses in some mariachi. Daniel separates himself from the bro-country heard on the radio. Be prepared for a performance that digs back to hard-hitting country roots Wednesday, 4/13 at Volcanic Theatre Pub.

Understanding Intimacy: Everyday Stress

In the day-to-day grind, sex can become another thing to stress about

25

Dear Dr. Jane, What do you do when “everyday” stress that will, realistically, never really go away (finances, jobs, family stress) is always the big excuse? I mean I understand it, but that doesn’t make the rejection any easier. How do you overcome that?

From, Stressed Out Dear Stressed, I hear your question—why and how do the everyday stresses take precedence over something more lasting like love, connection and pleasure? It’s true that many, many people talk about stress being the reason that they aren’t turned on at any given time (or ever).

My answer to this is the same answer I give my yoga students, and to myself when I fall off my practice: we have a finite number of hours in the day.

Intimacy itself is a practice. We make time and space for it because we value the connection. When we show up for it, we grow in love together.

Just like yoga, it can be tough to get back on the mat. We don’t get to the studio or to our home practice for lots of reasons. But in yoga, as in intimacy— that’s usually the time when we really need to be there. Taking a child’s pose, or being together in the dark, holding each other tenderly, making love.

Create an intimacy practice just like you cultivate a meditation practice, a healthy eating plan or an exercise habit.

But don’t force “sex.” Set an intention, make a plan and implement it. Excuses aren’t going to nourish your body or your relationship.

Our lives are filled with stress—when they’re over, what will matter?

We’re wrapped up in the round and round of our lives and don’t have a way out—a way to find each other and ourselves without worry. And sadly, sex becomes another thing to stress about.

Here’s how to solve this problem of too much stress and not enough sex: Let yourself dream.

Even though you’re incredibly busy right now, think of a future where you’re truly, passionately in love. What would life be like in the relationship you imagine?

Focus on working together.

When you say, “I need it or I’ll go crazy,” your partner will close down.

Your demands for sex become one more thing on their To Do list. When they “do you” like they “do the laundry,” there’s something missing.

Instead, talk to your partner about ways to solve problems together so that there’s less stress. Write a comprehensive list of all the work that’s involved in your lives (visible and invisible). Talk about increasing your physical intimacy only after you’ve talked about resolving the significant issues in your lives as a team.

3. Look at how your schedules reflect your relationship values.

We are what we do. And we do what we are. Our schedules reflect our priorities. What are yours? Most of us have a few minutes every day for connection, but our busy schedules don’t allow it.

We go to bed late and our partner goes to bed early. The less we connect, the faster we spin, untethered by love— supposedly the most important thing in our lives.

4. Make a commitment to be together this week in a way that actually feels good.

Just this. Make a commitment. Find one opportunity to touch base. Set up some spaciousness to touch a little, hug a little, kiss a little. The stresses of the day need time and space to fall off and to settle. Studies show that any affection (given authentically with consent) is wonderful at decreasing your body’s stress response. It’s not necessary to have sex right now. Enjoy something that feels easy. The sex will come when you make space.

Let me know how it goes. Stress is real but when you have a compassionate conversation with your partner, make time in your life, and follow through, things will get better. Honest. xoxo Dr. Jane PS: If it’s been more than six months since you had sex, think about getting help from a sex expert. There might be some simple things you can do today to make it easier for both of you.

Not A Sushi Bar

Bend Izakaya Ronin builds connections

By Jared Rasic Credit Jared Rasic

Just a couple of the delicacies featured at Bend Izakaya Ronin.

and the peppers were so tender and blistered to perfection that the massive bowl of them was gone within minutes.

The hardest part of the meal was not ordering three more bowls of these and crushing all the free radicals in my body.

After all of this was gone, we asked for the omakase (putting yourself in the hands of the chef). Ronin isn’t formally doing omakase right now, but the staff offered to just keep bringing out plates of chef’s choice dishes until we waved the white flag. Ten plates and two hours later, we relented, although we all wanted to keep going just to keep sampling the hundreds upon hundreds of flavors Ronin was playing with.

Their menu is always changing due to what’s in season, so what we had isn’t guaranteed to be there when you go, but regardless, you won’t be disappointed.

Here’s how hard we went: a plate of hamachi carpaccio with amberjack so fresh it was like butter flowers, a plate of sashimi ceviche that balanced the citrus with the fish without flaw, a beautiful plate of madai usuzukuri (thinly sliced sashimi, usually white fish), a large plate of pan fried squid that was unlike anything I’ve had in town and absolutely eclipses what is typically served as calamari, very light and smoky buta bara (pork belly), a delicate order of albacore tataki (lightly, perfectly seared),

two orders of the freshest king sake (salmon) nigiri I’ve had outside of Alaska, two orders of hamachi nigiri with mouth-watering yellowtail and a crispy and delectable pork gyoza wrapped the meal as a perfect palate cleanser.

Over the hours it took to eat that staggering amount of food, we witnessed Ronin fill to the absolute brim (they are reservation-only right now) with first dates, meetings, family meals, post-work relaxation and every derivation of connection in-between.

Everyone on staff is warm and familial, balancing impeccable and attentive service with a casual friendliness that’s hard to find anywhere.

Byers explains the feeling he has so successfully cultivated: “Out of all the Izakayas I have visited during my past trips to Japan, the experience was always the same. If you work hard, make sure you play hard. Don’t be afraid to try new things, eat what the chef gives you, make new friends; don’t be afraid to enjoy yourself or take yourself too seriously.”

Advice to live by, now more than ever.

The south side of Bend is getting a hip new spot for dining and cocktails.

Meadowlark officially opens April 18 at 4pm. It’s located at 19570 Amber Meadow Drive, Suite 100 in Bend, and is open from 4 to 10pm Monday through Friday and 10am to 10pm weekends.

Simon Team Opens The Flamingo Room The owners of San Simón, voted Best Bar by Source Weekly readers in 2021, have opened a new venture off Century Drive. The Flamingo Room features a warm-weather, “vaguely Equatorial” feel, inspired, as co-owner Brian Trottier said, “from different pockets of the globe, but not any one element.” The drinks run the gamut but are largely inspired by the staff’s travels to areas around the Equator. With over 300 plants, corrugated metal design elements and many drinks that focus on rum and mezcal, the vibe inside is tropical—but don’t call it a tiki bar, Trottier said.

As for food items, the menu has a similar approach as San Simón's, with guests presented with a checklist of items from which they can choose what they want. At The Flamingo Room, the focus is on snack plates and dips, with nearly the entire menu being vegetarian. Also available: Masa Empanadas, the vegetarian pop-up business started by recent transplants Emanuel Columbo and Roland Bello during the pandemic.

The Flamingo Room is now open seven days a week from 4pm to late, and is located at 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 130, in Bend.

27 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 15 / APRIL 14, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

t’s easy to forget how close we all used to be. Over the last few years, we got so used to eating at home or only going out with people in our bubble that the communal aspect of sharing food and passing around small plates to a large table full of friends, family or co-workers almost seemed taboo. Spending three hours laughing and having great conversations is something that I’ve been missing so long that as Bend Izakaya Ronin carefully curates that experience, it almost feels revolutionary.

An izakaya is basically a Japanese bar that serves snacks, drinks and is designed as a hang-out for people as they get off work, similar to an Irish pub or Spanish tapas bar. The brilliance of what owner Scotty Byers and General Manager Mikelle Byers have done: supplanted the casual vibe of an izakaya and given it a Pacific Northwest makeover, upscaling the sushi and small plates into a lovely fusion of fine dining without the stuffiness.

“We are trying to showcase more of what the vast, varied cuisine of Japan looks and tastes like in a traditional way,” says Byers. “We are focused on classic comfort/street foods of Japan, along with fresh sashimi, nigiri and temaki (hand rolls). We are not your typical sushi roll smothered in sauce, crunchy bits and mayo type shop. We are also NOT a sushi bar.”

Normally, I go to restaurants that I’m writing about by myself or with one other person, so I can focus on the food and how best to relate my experience to readers, but that felt antithetical to the entire purpose of what Ronin is curating. So I brought five of my favorite people and, well, we went hard. Like really hard.

Beverages first. The table went with Sapporo while I had an Ume Choya (Japanese Plum soda). Then we started with the wakame (green seaweed salad), Sunomono (cucumber salad) and a large bowl of Shishito peppers. The wakame’s texture was flawless with a perfect balance of sweet and sour; the sunomono was fresh veg-forward without leaning on the vinegar and sesame,

AMBULANCE: There’s only one way to know whether you want to see “Ambulance” or not: Does the thought of a 136-minute car chase excite you when lensed through the demented mind of Michael Bay? Yes, a lot of the “Transformers” movies are bad, but “The Rock” and “Bad Boys 2” are pretty awesome and car chases are delightful, so maybe it’s time for us to let the Bayhem into our heart.

THE BATMAN: I’ve always wanted a “Batman” movie that felt like “Seven” or “Zodiac,” so count me as excited that we finally get to see the World’s Greatest Detective doing some detecting. This is by far the darkest “Batman” flick ever, so that, combined with the three-hour runtime, might extend this entry in the forever franchise to adults only.

Tabula Rasa

Memoria Seeks to Wake Us Up

By Jared Rasic Courtesy of Neon

H

ow much of who we are is based on the memories and moments that have imprinted on us since birth? I sometimes wonder if I woke up tomorrow completely tabula rasa, would I find my way back to loving the same movies, the same music, the same people, or would I end up being some antithetical version of the man I am now?

I believe that after every song, every movie and every conversation, we are invariably changed in either the most subtle or profound of ways. We are never the same at the end of the day. So, if all those days are gone in one fell swoop, then who are we?

Are we forever different, or would we eventually grow back into the person we were?

Thai filmmaker Arpitchatpong Weerasethakul’s new film “Memoria” examines a lonely Scottish expat named Jessica (played by the ethereal Tilda Swinton), living and working in Colombia, who one morning is awoken by a single loud boom.

There’s nothing about the sound that’s natural, instead it’s something alien and unknowable, something that instantly fills Jessica with an existential dread that lingers deeply.

As an audience member, the boom is abrupt and shocking. It made me jump out of my seat and spill my beverage. So now we are like Jessica, distrustful of the silence and constantly on edge, awaiting the next intrusion to the dreamlike and elegiac life being observed. Weerasethakul has done something here that only a handful of films have ever even attempted in the past: He has created an actual, physical bridge between the audience and the protagonist.

We flinch when she does. We worry when her memories start becoming suspect and her reality starts feeling tenuous at best. She is our center in a world losing balance and our unreliable narrator telling a story only half remembered, like the fast-fading highlights of a dream. “Memoria” becomes our story just as much as Jessica’s because we’re discovering and recovering our equilibrium with her in real time.

Weerasethakul and distributor Neon are doing something interesting with the release of “Memoria.” They don’t ever want it released digitally, streaming or on physical media. Instead, they’re treating the film like a traveling roadshow: playing it at indie and arthouse theaters across the country in one-week engagements; touring the film like a rock band. If you don’t catch it here this week, you’ll find it elsewhere next week and somewhere new the week after.

This distribution method isn’t for pretentious reasons related to preserving the “theatrical experience.” Instead, it’s for two simple reasons: 1) the sound design creates the tone, feel and mood of the entire film and without immersive sound, you aren’t fully with Jessica. 2) Memoria. Memory. Your memory. That’s how this movie needs to exist— the way we remember it, a decade from now, as a ghost with the details swirling nebulously in our minds. If it was on Netflix, we wouldn’t need memory, we would only need wifi.

Weerasethakul’s earlier film, “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives,” is in my top 10 films of all time, so I was predisposed to be on the very specific wavelength of “Memoria.” The sound design combined with the singular imagery of this movie creates an almost hypnotic and transformative experience that plays more like a hallucination than a motion picture. The fact that cinema still has the ability to weave porous doors between sense, memory and art is astounding and so is this magnificent waking dream.

talented staff of Xerces, you will meet many, many other invertebrates to rub elbows with, and become familiar with what they do to make your life so much fun.

The activity was put together by the Xerces Ambassadors as well as LandPaths, which provides special guidance and Spanish translation. There are nine different activities, some of which will take about five minutes to do, while others could take from 30 minutes to an hour.

Anyone can be an X Kid. The activity was designed for kids 8 to 11, but I’m 93 and really looking forward to it. And it can be fun for individuals or a part

of a classroom or homeschool activity.

Can’t beat that with a stick.

So, don’t let this wonderful look into the world of nature go by without taking advantage of it, and, if you want to, please feel free to contact me at my email address: jimnaturalist@gmail. com, and we can chinwag about X Kids or any other part of the natural world around us.

In closing, if you want to enjoy the world of nature from a butterfly’s perspective, pick up a copy of Jo Brewer’s wonderful book, “Wings in the Meadow.” That will introduce you to what Xerces is all about.

This week, the Salmon Run returns for its 32nd year. The Salmon Run, and many other races, have been challenged during pandemic times. In 2020 the event switched to an online only format, while last year the race moved to Pronghorn Resort due to COVID. Similar to the salmon that make their annual journey, the race has overcome obstacles to return again this year to the Athletic Club of Bend. An on-line option is available as well.

Hailed as one of the earliest half marathons in the Northwest, the Salmon Run, put on by Lay It Out Events, is an opportunity to bust out the running legs and gauge those fitness levels.

If a half marathon feels a little too soon, there are 5k and 10k options available.

The course flows through the Old Mill and up the infamous river trail before finishing at the Athletic Club of Bend. The 5k and 10k races will be relatively flat, while the half marathon picks up some elevation as racers climb out of the river trail and up toward the end of the 7th Mountain and Century Drive. There will be rewards for the top three male and female racers of each category, and plenty of beer at the finish line.

If there are junior racers in the family there is the Little Fry hatch run for children ages 3-10. This is a non-competitive race that emphasizes fun and exercise.

Participants can register up until race day, but it will be cheaper to do so beforehand. Race times are staggered by distance. The half marathon begins at 9am, 10k at 9:15am and the 5k at 9:30am. The Little Fry event will be the finale of the day beginning at noon.

Stretch your legs and run into spring!

any years ago, like back before WWII, there was a butterfly called the Xerces blue, scientific name, Glaucopsyche xerces. It lived in sand dunes on the edge of San Francisco in California and — like the Monarch butterfly that must have milkweed for its babies to feed on — the Xerces blue caterpillars depended on specific plants growing there to eat.

Unfortunately, over the years, their habitat got smaller as the city got bigger and eventually the butterflies no longer had the food and shelter they needed to survive. The Xerces blue butterfly was last seen alive in the early 1940s.

Knowing that sad story and witnessing the extinction of Great Britain’s Large Blue butterfly while studying there, Robert Michael Pyle hatched the idea of forming an organization that would introduce people to saving the lives of butterflies and other arthropods. And thus, the Xerces Society came into being.

And what better than to name it after the ancient Greek word that means “Ruler over Heroes” as well as an American butterfly that also went extinct.

Rachel Carson, one of my most treasured heroes of documenting the threats to our natural world and author of “Silent Spring,” said this about our arthropod companions: “These insects, so essential to our agriculture and indeed to our landscape as we know it, deserve something better from us than the senseless destruction of their habitat.”

Currently, science writer and British journalist Oliver Milman chronicles the striking decline in insect populations around the world in his new book, “The Insect Crisis: The Fall Of The Tiny Empires That Run The World.” where he describes evidence of insectageddon, as some call it, and what trouble this could spell for us humans. So we need to get the next generation up to speed on what’s happening!

Right now, today, you have the privilege of getting involved with Pyle’s magnificent organization and have a lot of fun doing so. Xerces (pronounced “Zerksees”) is offering an online program entitled “X Kids” that you and/or your kids can take part in. All you have to do is go to the website or contact them at xkids@xerces.org, download the X Kids activity, and you’re in.

You will go on a nature adventure with Blue the Butterfly in a beautiful color booklet to meet other invertebrate and learn about their superpowers.

Hey, What’s That Sound?

The tap-tap-tap of the woodpecker is a common occurrence this time of year

By Kelli Neumann Sevilla Rhoads

Cohort Meets Tuesdays May 10 - June 21 6pm-8pm via Zoom

jessicajhill.com BEND BHAKTI COLLECTIVE EARTH DAY KIRTAN 04/22/22

The warp speed pounding of a woodpecker can sound like a power tool being used.

chimney pipe or gutter with its deep resonating thrum is a wonderful find for a woodpecker establishing its territory.

It may be annoying, but it is not usually damaging. Feeding damage is usually minimal unless you have a bug infestation. The local peckers are much more interested in excavating grubs from under the first few layers of tree bark than your home’s siding.

A woodpecker’s tongue is another of its marvels, often over a third of the bird’s overall length and serving as more than just a cushion for its brain box. A Flicker’s two-inch tongue is barbed at the end, made to snake into crevices and snag ants or other insects, while a Sapsuckers’ is capped with short bristles that help the bird “lap” up the slowly oozing sap. It is also theorized that sapsuckers have some sort of anticoagulant in their saliva that liquifies the sap to keep it flowing.

Our amazing woodpeckers get into the most trouble when they try to be our roomies, creating the cavities in which they will lay their eggs in the eaves of someone’s home. Most often these homemakers choose a dead snag tree, however, due to the elements that contribute to a successful nest site, a human home is chosen occasionally. In that case there are few things the original homeowner can do to deter an unwelcome feathered guest.

Bird abatement is a commonly requested service. Most techniques involve scaring birds away. One way is installing flagging, an erratic flapping material of some sort, often reflective, which birds are wary of. Another method is putting out effigies of local predators, such as owls or hawks. This can

work well in the early stages, but sometimes birds will habituate to them as they eventually learn that there is no danger from them. Sounds can also be used with some effectiveness. Noises mimicking birds’ alarm calls warning of nearby predators, especially when only motion activated, may make birds decide an area is unsuitable.

Preventing birds from coming in for a landing can also work.

There are various devices for this, ranging from repulsive-feeling gels to spikes on commonly occupied perches. The best bet is to simply block the area being excavated with a material they can’t break through, like aluminum flashing.

It is illegal to kill the birds and it is also not very effective. If for some reason a nest site is favored, other birds will take advantage of an abandoned prime spot. Often mounting a nest box designed for cavity nesters nearby with the same aspect or position will save them the trouble of creating their own hole. If you happen to have a home that has been marked as prime territory, or you didn’t notice a nest being created, do not fear. Woodpeckers have an astonishingly short incubation period. Young will hatch in as little as two weeks and start flying away from the nest within a month. Once the business of raising a family has been accomplished, the cavity hole can be easily patched with a material that will discourage them from reusing the site.

Wood-boring birds are a marvel of physics. Even if they should darken your door, or roof, we hope you appreciate their beauty and stunning adaptations.

here are many examples of engineering marvels in the natural world which humans have yet to replicate.

One of these astonishing feats is the skill of a woodpecker.

These incredible birds slam their head into trees at up to 20 times a second—the equivalent of going from zero to 26,000 mph. At this acceleration the skull can incur over a thousand G forces. Birds of the Picidae family are highly specialized to excavate wood with their beaks, with long, “wrap around” tongues to cushion their strong but compressible skull bones.

Their hyoid bone, a small thin bone at the base of the tongue, is elongated and extends around the front of their cranium. It serves as a kind of seatbelt. The position and structure of their body on a tree allows the woodpecker to absorb 99% of the impact strain generated by such intense hammering.

Even so, their brain will heat up, which is probably why drilling is intermittent with frequent stops. They are perfectly designed for pecking and can drive people mad when their particular skill is practiced on someone’s house siding.

There are six species of woodpeckers in Oregon, including flickers and sapsuckers. Northern flickers are the most common and have a unique, neon orange coloration on the undersides of their flight feathers. Flickers feed extensively on the ground, consuming ants and beetles. Three species of sapsuckers are found regularly in Oregon: the Red-Breasted, Williamson’s and very occasionally a Yellow-bellied. These, true to their name, feed on a tree’s sticky, sweet sap as well as insects. A sapsucker’s excavation is perceived as a boon to many bird species and insects that can also utilize the nutrient-rich, viscous material flowing beneath a tree’s protective bark. The four “true” woodpeckers include the large Pileated, the diminutive Downy, the Blackback and the Threetoed woodpecker. These last two often inhabit recently burned forests and, in fact, have only three toes on each foot rather than the four-toed-zygodactyl foot arrangement of most Picidae.

Woodpeckers practice their craft for several reasons: feeding, communicating or nesting. In the late winter and early spring woodpeckers start to establish territories, announcing to other woodpeckers that their corner of the forest is taken by drumming. Drumming on a resonating surface likely confers the same signals as most sexual selection is aimed to impart: location and an indication of reproductive fitness. The louder the drumming, perhaps, the more “attractive” the bird. This means your

Boss Rambler Gets Its Own Brewery Boss Rambler’s IPAs and slushie beers find a new home at the old Riverbend brewery

By Brian Yaeger Courtesy Boss Rambler

B

oss Rambler Beer Club has pulled off a lot in its brief run that, this Saturday, April 16, celebrates three years since opening its doors on Galveston. (The beer debuted a year before the taproom.) That means twothirds of the operation overlapped a world-paralyzing pandemic. To survive, Boss Rambler did what virtually everyone did: pivot. Originally conceived as a draft-only beer maker, Boss Rambler cans can now be found at the Beer Club and in retail locations from here to Portland.

The brand’s pedigree is two parts Crux Fermentation Project— where Matt Molletta and brewer Jacob Bansmer met—and one part Boneyard Beer—where Molletta’s wife, Kate, worked in marketing. The three melded their collective beer experience to create a beer company that’s simultaneously quintessential Bend and unlike any other brewery in Central Oregon.

Boss Rambler is starting to brew in its own facility, having taken over the defunct Riverbend Brewing, which launched in 2013 but sputtered out last year. Until now, Boss Rambler operated as what the beer biz calls an A.P., an alternating proprietorship, and brewed at Silver Moon Brewing. The upside, Molletta says, is that “it allowed us to get established and ‘prove’ ourselves without the huge, upfront expense of building or purchasing a brewery.” The caveat, however, is that the company “got to a point where we needed more capacity and control…We feel extremely lucky to have received so much local support—and afar—that allowed us to grow throughout the pandemic.”

Boss Rambler offers a broad range of styles, but has a three-pronged focus on crispy lagers, juicy IPAs and sour fruit beers. The latter, alternately known as smoothie or slushie beers, can be found served from a bona fide

slushie machine, but cans are always available—including the “Chill’r” series of tropical cocktail-inspired beers like Painkiller and Miami Vice. Tiki, daquiri or slushie beers are largely the domain of select Florida or Southern California breweries, but Boss Rambler joins Portland’s Great Notion as Oregon’s top purveyors. Such beers are also semifamous for exploding (literally having cans burst open due to unchecked fermentation, thanks to fruit’s residual sugars) on warm store shelves. But Bansmer has deftly avoided that hazard.

“The biggest challenge for us was figuring out a way to shelf stabilize our fruited beers so they wouldn’t referment and explode without affecting the flavor or integrity. Now we feel extremely confident in using fruit regularly and the rewards are unmatched flavors and being able to push the boundaries with styles like our super-fruited and cocktail-influenced beers,” Moletta says.

“We came across the Riverbend opportunity and jumped at it. It was the perfect fit as we were in need of additional capacity ASAP and it allowed us to essentially walk in and get to work.”

The new digs will not be open to the public—at least for the foreseeable future—but the bosses do have some undisclosed plans for future expansion and hope to be able to hold an open house. Until then, the anniversary party includes a DJ, custom on-site hat printing, and more than one new beer release. Here’s to hoping it’s a Blue Hawaiian in beer form.

From Farm to Bottle

rus-born Williamina Fleming was working as a maid for astronomer Edward Charles Pickering, director of the Harvard Observatory. Impressed with her intelligence, Pickering hired Fleming to do scientific work. By 1893, she had become a prominent, award-winning astronomer. Ultimately, she discovered the Horsehead Nebula, helped develop a system for identifying stars, and cataloged thousands of astronomical phenomena.

I propose that we make her your role model for the duration of 2022. If there has ever been a year when you might achieve progress like Fleming’s, it’s this one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 2500 years, Egypt was a conquered territory ruled by non-Egyptians.

Persians took control in 525 BCE. Greeks replaced them. In succeeding centuries, Egypt had to submit to the authority of the Roman Empire, the Persians again, the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Islamic Caliphate, the Mamluk Sultanate, the Ottomans, and the British. When British troops withdrew from their occupation in 1956, Egypt was finally an independent nation selfruled by Egyptians. If there are any elements of your own life story that even partially resemble Egypt’s history, I have good news: 2022 is the year you can achieve a more complete version of sovereignty than you have ever enjoyed. And the next phase of your freedom work begins now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): During the next four weeks, some of the best lessons you can study and learn will come to you while you’re socializing and communicating. Even more than is usually the case, your friends and allies will offer you crucial information that has the power to catalyze dynamic decisions. Lucky encounters with Very Interesting People may open up possibilities worth investigating. And here’s a fun X-factor: The sometimes surprising words that fly out of your mouth during lively conversations will provide clues about what your deep self has been half-consciously dreaming of.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Hold on tight, I would tell myself, but there was nothing for me to hold on to.” A character in one of Haruki Murakami’s novels says that. In contrast to that poor soul, Leo, I’m happy to tell you that there will indeed be a reliable and sturdy source for you to hold onto in the coming weeks—maybe more than one. I’m glad! In my astrological opinion, now is a time when you’ll be smart to get thoroughly anchored. It’s not that I think you will be in jeopardy. Rather, you’re in a phase when it’s more important than usual to identify what makes you feel stable and secure.

It’s time to bolster your foundations and strengthen your roots.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the latter half of

Grown Locally 2ndlifelavender.com

the 19th century, the US government collaborated with professional hunters to kill millions of bison living in America’s Great Plains. Why? It was an effort to subjugate the indigenous people who lived there by eliminating the animals that were their source of food, clothing, shelter, bedding, ropes, shields, and ornaments. The beloved and useful creatures might have gone extinct altogether if it had not been for the intervention of a Virgo rancher named Mary Ann “Molly” Goodnight.

She single-handedly rebuilt the bison herds from a few remaining survivors. I propose that we make

Goodnight your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. What dwindling resources or at-risk assets could you restore to health?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): British Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758–1805) was born under the sign of Libra. He was a brilliant and unconventional strategist whose leadership brought many naval victories for his country. Yet he was blind in one eye, was missing most of his right arm from a battle wound, and was in constant discomfort from chronic seasickness. I propose we make him one of your patron saints for the coming weeks. May he inspire you to do your best and surpass your previous accomplishments even if you’re not feeling perfect. (But also keep in mind: The problems you have to deal with will be far milder than Nelson’s.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Anti-apartheid activist Bantu Stephen Biko (1946–1977) was profoundly committed to authenticity. The repressive South African government hated that about him.

Biko said, “I’m going to be me as I am, and you can beat me or jail me or even kill me, but I’m not going to be what you want me to be.” Fortunately for you, Scorpio, you’re in far less danger as you become more and more of your genuine self. That’s not to say the task of learning how to be true to your deep soul is entirely risk-free. There are people out there, even allies, who may be afraid of or resistant to your efforts. Don’t let their pressure influence you to dilute your holy quest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): “The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul,” said Sagittarian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Inspired by his observation, I’m telling you, “The practical dreamer should train not only her reasoning abilities but also her primal intuition, creative imagination, non-rational perceptivity, animal instincts, and rowdy wisdom.” I especially urge you to embody my advice in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time to make abundant use of the other modes of intelligence that help you understand life as it really is—and not merely as the logical, analytical mind conceives it to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The language spoken by the indigenous Cherokee people is at least 3,000 years old. But it never had a written component until the 1820s. Then a Cherokee polymath named Sequoyah formulated a syllabary, making it possible for the first time to read and write the language. It was a herculean accomplishment with few precedents in history. I propose we name him your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. In my astrological understanding, you are poised to make dramatic breakthroughs in self-expression and communication that will serve you and others for a long time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A study by psychologists concludes there is a good way to enhance your willpower: For a given time, say one week, use your non-dominant hand to brush your teeth, wield your computer mouse, open your front door with your key, or perform other habitual activities. Doing so boosts your ability to overcome regular patterns that tend to keep you mired in inertia. You’re more likely to summon the resolution and drive necessary to initiate new approaches in all areas of your life—and stick with them. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to try this experiment. (For more info, read this: https://tinyurl.com/BoostWillpower)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “You have your way. I have my way.

As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be justified to say something like that in the near future. Now is a favorable time to honestly acknowledge differences between you and others—and accept those differences just as they are. The important point is to do what you need to do without decreeing that other people are wrong or misguided.

My column, for years, ran in over 100 papers across the US and Canada, and in the military paper, the Stars & Stripes. It is “applied science,” meaning I read and vet scientific studies, translate them from the professor-ese into clear, understandable language, and then use them as a springboard to help people reframe their thinking and change their behavior.

Sadly, the newspaper industry is dying, and during COVID, long-profitable and successful papers that had run my column for over 20 years went out of business. Others suffered huge declines in ad revenues and were forced cut their page count to the bone.

I love writing this column, which won many first-place awards in the Southern California Journalism Awards (via LA Press Club) -- along with an honorable mention for me for “Journalist of the Year”: simply unheard of for an advice column.

I’m so, so grateful to all the papers that run me and ran me -- but especially those whose editors picked it up first...gave me a chance before anybody else believed in me. (Hi, Bob Downes of Northern Express and Linda Xiques of the Pacific Sun!)

I am especially grateful for all the readers who trusted me with their problems and gave me the material to put out the science and reasoning that were an integral part of this column.

And thank you, all of you, who wrote me to tell me I made a difference for you. It means the world to me.

It was really hard for me to come to this: to finally call it a day. I was writing the column at a serious financial loss for longer than I’d like to admit, hoping to find a way to subsidize it. (I’ve trained to become an ace speaker -- as I hope you’ll see in my TED talk on conflict resolution that should be out soon -- but COVID dried up any hope of my doing applied science speaking events, and that has yet to change.)

I’m now completing two vitally important books for awesome BenBella Books that I hope will change medical practice standards in two areas of our healthcare to be more evidence-based.

(Will disclose the exact subject matter when we’re a bit closer to publication.)

I will continue to do private sessions for individuals: both mediations and advice sessions. (http://www. advicegoddess.com/private_sessions/ if you’re interested.) I’ve also been hired by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office to do behavioral science-based video training sessions for new and continuing mediators.

Thank you all for reading me, fighting with me, and telling me when I made a difference for you with my work.

Buying or Selling Tenant-Occupied Homes

FIND YOUR PLACE IN BEND

Broker, CRS

cannot terminate the tenancy for “no cause,” but must have a “qualifying landlord” reason.

If an owner/landlord desires to sell leased property to a buyer and terminate the existing tenancy, that owner can only do so if the buyer intends to reside in the home after closing. If a buyer purchasing a tenant-occupied home wants to re-rent the property to a different occupant, that would not be a “qualifying landlord reason” to terminate. In addition to a showing of a “qualifying landlord reason,” the owner must provide appropriate advance notice of termination to a tenant. This time period varies based on the type of tenancy.

A buyer could request that the seller work with a tenant to determine whether the tenant may consider voluntarily surrendering the property prior to the end of the term. This may be necessitated if the buyer is financing the purchase for residential purposes, because lenders require that the home be buyer-occupied within 60 days of closing.

Just as the housing market is still tight for buyers, rental units are also difficult to come by at reasonable rates.

When considering a transaction involving a tenant-occupied home, communication and cooperation with all affected parties are key. Be sure to work with a knowledgeable real estate broker, as well as an attorney who can advise you on the intricacies of landlord-tenant law. With a reliable team helping you through the process, the additional challenges posed by these transactions can be addressed, whether you are looking to buy a home to live in, or one for investment purposes.

espite climbing interest rates, supply and demand in the housing market remains significantly unbalanced. There are still many more buyers looking for homes than units available.

As a result, it remains a sellers’ market, with prices up more than 20% from just one year ago.

Some investors who own and rent out homes or other types of dwellings (duplexes, townhomes, condos, etc.) decide to cash in their equity by selling their tenant-occupied units. For buyers competing in the limited supply of housing for sale in Central Oregon, finding the perfect house to purchase may pose additional challenges if it is currently inhabited by a tenant. Owners, too, must be able to navigate and comply with tenant protection laws in Oregon when selling.

In order to help manage expectations for future use of a tenant-occupied property—whether for investment or personal use—buyers should consider retaining an attorney. Similarly, sellers should consult an attorney before listing currently leased property for sale. Real estate agents cannot review lease documents or advise on a specific landlord-tenant arrangements unless they are also licensed to practice law.

The following considerations apply: first, the type of tenancy (month-tomonth, or fixed term); second, the length of occupancy time (especially if less than one year); third, the expiration date of the tenancy term; and fourth, the rights of the tenant under the specific lease contract. Oregon law is very tenant-protective with respect to termination. Among other things, if a tenant has lived in the dwelling for more than one year, the owner/landlord
