I don’t think I’m alone in saying that spring is one of my favorite times of the year. Snow left in the mountains to enjoy at our leisure, dry roads to bike upon and little bugs and buds just beginning to strut their stuff… there’s so much to love about the rebirthing of spring. This week’s issue contains a few gems that highlight the beauty of the season, including a tip sheet for new gardeners in Central Oregon and a look at some of the hidden (or not-so-hidden) garden gems in Bend, along with a review of some of the trends occupying the indoor spaces of local homes. Our news section includes some stories focused on “rebirth,” too, with coverage on the return to full-time classroom instruction for local students and news on how to register to be informed when it’s your turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Happy spring, and have a great week!

ast week, the Oregon Senate voted in favor of Senate Bill 554, a bill that would, if passed, allow state and local governments to ban firearms in public buildings for those with a concealed carry permit. The bill was set to go before the Oregon House on March 29—but due to more cases of COVID-19 in the state legislature, that and other business in the Capitol was on hold as of press time. Not only would the bill allow local governments to ban firearms in public buildings such as airports and courthouses, schools, city halls and hospitals, but it would also ban stun guns, knives and “mace, tear gas, pepper mace or any similar deleterious agent,” according to the language of the bill. As you might imagine, a bill like this gets people on both sides of the political aisle very excited. Our own state senator, Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend), called the bill out as the example of the urban-rural divide. He, along with four other senators, declared potential conflicts of interest due to being concealed-carry holders—but voted anyway. Knopp voted against. Since the bill, if passed by the Oregon House, would ultimately leave it up to local governments to decide whether to implement it, it’s easy to imagine that it would be ushered in handily in places such as Portland, where voters lean decidedly blue, and would be rejected in places that trend red, such as most of the counties of eastern Oregon—some of which are still working to leave blue Oregon for red Idaho. It is fair for Knopp to characterize this as an “urban-rural divide” issue—but that begs the question, where does that leave Bend and Central Oregon, where voter trends don’t fall neatly into one box or another?

As we noted following the last election in November, Bend has been a decidedly “purple” city for some time, but trended toward the Democratic side in its voter rolls as the election neared. As of March 1—the most recent reporting of voter rolls in our area— Knopp’s Senate District 27 included 40,131 Democrats, 33,507 Republicans and 38,404 unaffiliated voters. Voters in the City of Bend trend similarly, with 27,497 Democratic voters, 16,757 Republicans and 23,092 unaffiliated voters. Redmond voters totaled 5,463 Democrats, 7,996 Republicans and 8,122 unaffiliated voters. These voter trends show that we cannot put our region into one tidy voting bloc. What does this all mean? It means that as we think about a bill that has, as of the time this issue went to press, yet to pass the House (but likely will, due to the Democratic supermajority in the state legislature), those who are passionate about this issue should be looking not to whether the bill will pass in Salem (it likely will), but instead, what will we do when this issue becomes our own to decide upon? Will our majority-progressive Bend City Council take this up? What about the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, or our local school districts and colleges—which each will be empowered to take this up or leave it alone? While some will get excited or nervous or angry about this bill’s passage in the Oregon State Legislative Assembly, perhaps the more salient place to put that energy right now is into our local governments, which ultimately will have to decide whether this hot-button, urban-rural-divide issue is one worth taking up in our very purple region.

In response to Central Oregon’s local media and our community’s requests for statements about the brutal murders of six Asian women and two others, members of an Asians and Pacific Islanders of Central Oregon affinity group have this to share: None of us feel comfortable being interviewed to be the face and voice for our local Asian American community. Our stories, cultures, and backgrounds are diverse and distinct. For some context, the Asia and Pacific Group of the United Nations is composed of 55 different countries. Our shared experiences of racism, xenophobia, exoticization, fetishism, perpetual foreigner stereotypes, among others, is what brings us together in solidarity with one another. Many of us fear for our physical safety when making public statements. When local Asian community members spoke out in The Bulletin about former Commissioner Henderson’s racist reference to COVID-19 as the “China Flu,” he vehemently defended his racism in a public Deschutes County Commission meeting and called on community members to “look us up.” Take a look at the unmoderated racist and brutal comment section on our local media’s websites and social media. Why would any of us want to subject ourselves to that vitriol and become a further target of that hatred? Why would we want to become the next victim of someone “having a bad day”? Our community has never felt safe in Central Oregon as we have experienced violence and hate long before the pandemic started. Our children have been bullied so badly we have had to remove them from school. With the onset of the pandemic, it only got worse. We have members of our group who have lost business, do not feel safe going to the grocery store alone, who have been chased, barked at, growled at, and yelled at to go home. Across the nation, our elders are being robbed, attacked,

According to Stop AAPI Hate, there were 3,800 anti-Asian racist incidents in the last year, mostly against Asian American women. Our experiences have been erased, silenced, discounted, and ignored both nationally and locally. We are enraged, frustrated, scared, and exhausted. Stop asking us why we think this happened in the midst of our grief and mourning. Stop asking us to justify and rationalize the violence against us. Stop painting us solely as victims. Where are your reporters asking white people how white supremacy enabled a white man to murder eight people and be humanized in the media more than the victims he killed? Silence is violence. Stop Asian hate. Black lives matter. Black liberation is Asian liberation. None of us are free until we end white supremacy. — Asians and Pacific Islanders of Central Oregon affinity group

WOULD YOU RUN A PROFITABLE BUSINESS LIKE THIS?

Recently I had placed an order online. The seller happened to live in the Bend area. The item was being sent via the USPS. It has taken five days & counting to deliver. Why, because the USPS sent the package to Portland, down to Eugene then back to Bend, now over to Redmond. That is over 425+ miles, not to mention the man hours used to deliver this package. Had the USPS simply sent it the 18.1 miles to Redmond I could have had my package the next day. The USPS lost money last year due to poor management. Now we know why. —Sonja Wernke

fifth consecutive year the cost of caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s is surpassing a quarter of a trillion dollars. As the U.S. population ages, Alzheimer’s is becoming a more common cause of death. Deaths due to Alzheimer’s have increased an alarming 145 percent since 2000, while deaths for other major diseases remained flat or decreased. Despite these enormous numbers, to me, Alzheimer’s disease is personal. My dad is living with dementia and I have struggled to watch as everyday tasks have become more difficult for him. Despite his diagnosis, my dad has remained resilient and taught me to accept the things we cannot change. With that being said, we do have an opportunity to shape the future of Alzheimer’s disease. In recent years, Congress has made funding Alzheimer’s research a priority and it must continue. I respectfully urge Representative Bentz to support an increase in Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding at the National Institutes of Health. Visit alz.org or call the 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 for more information about Alzheimer’s disease, the latest in research and free resources available to the community. —Amei Pratt

RECENT U.S. VIOLENCE AGAINST ASIANS

The Japanese American Society of Central Oregon (JASCO) is a local community group that honors and celebrates Japanese heritage through arts and culture, food, education, events and sharing of traditions. Despite JASCO’s informal nature— and in consideration of recent anti-Asian

sentiment and racially targeted, national violence against Asians, JASCO cannot remain silent as these perpetuated acts tear at the moral fabric of our country, impacting all peoples negatively irregardless of race. JASCO strongly denounces any form of racism, discrimination, intimidation, and hatred occurring within our society. We honor diversity and inclusivity within our community and beyond. JASCO aligns with JACL, Embrace Bend, DEI Bend, C.O. Diversity Project, BLM and others that work to eradicate systemic racism and discrimination in our nation. If you are encountering any form of racism, report to local authorities. To learn more, Portland’s JACL site or NCAPA or https://www.ncapaonline.org/ Sincerely, — JASCO Board Members: Joyce & Ted Kesterson, Ami Zepnewski, Eric Ballinger, Yoko Godlove, Kristine McConnell, Naoko Gamble, Naomi Sugimoto Crummett, Rachel Alm, Roy Ouchida, Tom & Yvette Nishikawa

Thanks to both the JASCO group and to the Asian and Pacific Islanders affinity group of Central Oregon for sharing your thoughts with readers this week.

Local Students Headed Back to Buildings Full Time

N

ew guidelines released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention March 19 are allowing districts including Bend-La Pine Schools to increase the amount of time students spend in school buildings. In a letter sent to families March 25, Interim Superintendent Lora Nordquist announced that students in the district would soon have an option for “all-in” instruction taking place five days a week. “The Oregon Department of Education and Oregon Health Authority has revised school distancing guidance, aligning with revised guidelines released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which say students can safely sit 3-feet apart in classrooms under certain conditions,” Nordquist wrote.

BLPS will bring students back full time in phases, starting with 4th and 5th graders on April 5, followed by students in 6th through 12th grade April 12. Students in grades K-3 already attend five days a week. BLPS will continue to offer remote instruction for students who are not comfortable with in-person learning, or who “have found success with distance learning,” Nordquist wrote, including the ongoing Bend-La Pine Schools Online program, or the district’s Comprehensive Distance Learning option formulated for the 2020-21 school year. Meanwhile, the Redmond School District announced this week that due to the new CDC guidelines, it would begin sending secondary students back to classrooms full time starting Monday, April 19.

More students in Bend, La Pine and Redmond will head back to classrooms full time starting in April.

Local Pre-Registration Available for COVID Vaccine

D

eschutes County and St. Charles Health System have launched a new web page that allows people to sign up to be alerted when it’s their turn to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. The site, centraloregoncovidvaccine.com, allows Central Oregonians to enter their name, address and other information that helps authorities sort out when

they are eligible to receive the vaccine based on that person’s eligibility level. People who pre-register will get a notification alerting them when it’s their turn, and will have 48 hours to log into the scheduling system to set up their vaccine appointment. Vaccinations are free to the public. “While it is still too soon to draw

any definitive conclusions, it appears our vaccine strategy is working,” wrote St. Charles CEO Joe Sluka in an email to followers March 25. “The average age of patients hospitalized at St. Charles Bend in March has declined compared with those hospitalized in January. This is a trend we hope to see continue as vaccinations become available to all

Wilderness Permit System Opens April 6

T

he Deschutes and Willamette National Forests will begin allowing people to reserve day-use and overnight permits in the Central Cascades Wilderness starting April 6. The permit system is a new addition for the Central Cascades Wilderness, aimed at limiting the number of people visiting well-used locations in the Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Washington and Three Sisters wilderness areas. According to a 2018 environmental assessment from the Central Cascades Wilderness Strategies Project, overall use in the Three Sisters Wilderness had increased by 231% since 1991 and 181% since 2011. Tam McArthur Rim Trailhead saw a 538% increase in users from 2014 to 2016. While the Forest Service opted to put the proposed permit system on hold during the height of the pandemic in 2020, it announced that it would move forward with it in 2021. The Forest Service did move forward with one portion of its wilderness-area limitations last year, implementing a ban on campfires above 5,700 feet in elevation, and even in some areas that are below 5,700 feet. It also banned campfires in Diamond Peak Wilderness above 6,000 feet.

Starting May 28, pre-arranged dayuse permits will be required on trails including Green Lakes, Broken Top, Devils Lake/South Sister, Todd Lake, Tam McArthur Rim and a dozen other popular trails from Memorial Day through the last Friday in September of 2021, and overnight permits will be required for all overnight use in the three wilderness areas. Dozens of other trailheads in the wilderness areas will not require a pre-arranged permit, but do require a free self-issue permit available at the trailheads. On April 6, 40% of the season’s allotment of overnight permits will be live on the federal government’s reservation portal, Recreation.gov, with the remaining 60% of permits available on a seven-day rolling window beginning on May 28—meaning every day, new permits will be available for the day seven days ahead of that particular day. Between 20 and 50% of day-use permits will be available on April 6, with the remaining 50 to 80% of each trail’s permits available in a seven-day rolling window starting May 28. The permits are relatively low-cost, costing only a $1 processing fee for day-use

Oregonians by May 1.” Those who are unable to register online can also call 541-699-5109 to get help registering from 9am-5pm Monday through Friday, and from 9am to 1pm Saturdays and Sundays—though expect to wait on hold. Pre-register for vaccination at centraloregoncovidvaccine.com.

The Cost of Staying Open? $27,470—and Then Some OHSA levies $27K+ fine against Kevista Coffee for alleged "willful violation" of workplace health requirements

O

regon Occupational Safety and Health, the agency tasked with enforcing the state’s workplace safety and health rules, has issued a $27,470 fine against a Bend coffee shop, alleging that it violated standards put in place to protect employees from COVID-19. OSHA announced March 30 that Kevista Coffee, located along Century Drive on Bend’s west side, “willfully continued to potentially expose workers to the virus, despite a public health order limiting the capacity of indoor dining to zero in an ‘extreme risk’ county.” According to OHSA, Kevista Coffee—legally known as Laui Life Coffee LLC—began allowing indoor dining on Dec. 3, 2020, and thereafter, during a time when Deschutes County was placed in the “Extreme Risk,” category under Gov. Kate Brown’s risk protection framework—a category that meant indoor dining was prohibited in order to help slow the spread of COVID-19. OHSA representatives conducted an

inspection of the property, the agency said, finding three alleged violations of OHSA’s temporary rules designed to address COVID-19 risks in the workplace. For the alleged “willful violation” in allowing indoor dining, OHSA levied a fine of $26,700 against the coffee shop. That is three times the minimum penalty allowed for such violations, OHSA representatives stated in a press release. “The decision reflects the need to ensure a more appropriate deterrent effect where employers insist on disregarding health and safety standards,” OHSA stated. OHSA issued another $385 fine for the company’s alleged failure to “develop and implement an infection control plan,” covering items such as planning for physical distancing or reducing the use of shared surfaces; and issued another $385 fine after the company allegedly failed to conduct any COVID-19 risk assessment to identify potential employee exposure to the virus and

address how to reduce that exposure. “During the inspection, the owners of Kevista—Krista and Kevin Lauinger— said they chose to re-open the coffee shop even though they were aware that it went against workplace health requirements,” OHSA stated. The current fines against Kevista are the second round of fines the business has faced due to COVID-19. OHSA edad promedio de los pacientes hospitalizados en St. Charles Bend en marzo ha bajado en comparación con aquellos hospitalizados en enero. Esta es una tendencia que esperamos seguir viendo a medida que la vacunación se torna disponible para todos los habitantes de Oregon para el 1o de mayo.

With interior design, there’s a "farm chic" black hole versus a multiverse of design game changers By K.M. Collins Courtesy Hank Hill

R

ustic reclaimed wood or industrial super modern? French country or boho beach? With so many out-of-towners descending on Bend, it can be hard to answer the question: Do national home design trends play in the high desert? How long can we tap the farm-chic look before there’s nothing left? With the building and remodeling sector the only industry seeing growth in 2020 in our region (and no end in sight), these are all questions on the minds of designers and developers alike. Time warp Kerri Rossi, co-owner of Element Design Collective and principal designer at KMR Design Firm, is seeing a loosening of what was once a logjam in local interior design trends. Where locals used to be roughly four to five years behind some of the most out-front trends, due to the flood of in-migration and the many “Zoom Town” workers, trends are reaching Bend in more like one to two years, Rossi said. With 25 years in the business, she has plenty of experience to back up that assertion. Jennifer Nelson, of local building staple Nelson Tile and Stone, concurs, saying digital platforms are shrinking timing on trend gaps—not to mention the ever-increasing arrival of city slickers. “As little as three years ago we’d lament how Bend was years behind in trends. Case in point: hardly anyone wanted a white kitchen or bath four years ago, but once that trend hit finally hit here, designers on a national level were saying it was five years old already. Today that timeline between Bend and larger cities seems to have tightened up. This is due to the higher usage of social media sites like Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram showing off design trends and even some of the home improvement TV shows. This has caused locals to get comfortable with new designs, faster,” Nelson said. “The great amounts of people moving from larger cities has also changed that. We often hear

of people wanting to update their homes here with what they had back at their house in L.A. or Seattle.” Regional flair and mixing looks The result of outside influence? Rossi said a current client, who recently relocated to Bend after previously residing in row houses in San Francisco, shared an image of three mangoes to guide the color palette of her remodel—a major shift from farm chic, homestead or anything of the like that has long been popular locally. The client chose a bright-orange kitchen range and an ornate blown-glass, burnt orange and amber light fixture for the dining room—both selections undeniably infused with mid-century modern undertones. Hank Hill, owner/operator and general contractor at Bend Craftsmen Company, sees clients preserving some elements of their ‘80s- and ‘90s-built homes during remodels, while complementing them with new trends. In a recent Sunriver project, much of the original wall and ceiling wood paneling was preserved while a modern media center, reading nook, slatted accent wall and new flooring were installed. With so much mixing of old and new, showrooms become an essential tool for building and supply retailers. Rossi, with partner Jane Wirth, just opened Element Design Collective, a “design delicatessen” located in southeast Bend. Rossi wants to welcome folks into a warm space where they feel at home and can access and experience samples from the best vendors in flooring, interior doors, trim, lighting, cabinet hardware, appliances, bathroom accessories and windows. Believing many of these elements to be the “jewelry” of one’s home, Rossi provides a showroom selection process inspired by that of picking out precious gems. Meanwhile, Nelson Tile and Stone is moving and expanding its longtime staple and popular kitchen-and-bath-focused showroom off Division Street in Bend.

COVID-era upgrades It’s no secret that the past year, with everyone at home more than usual, has spurred a renewed interest in sprucing

up kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms of the home. “Everybody is remodeling,” notes Nelson. “Top reasons that we often see are homes built in the early to mid 2000s, when travertine and tiled counters

were all the rage. Now people want lighter-colored rooms and less grout everywhere. Another trend is for new homes. People want to pull out builder-grade acrylic tubs and showers in favor of custom showers. We also upgrade counters

Clockwise from top left: Co-owners and founders Kerri Rossi and Jane Wirth pick out the latest in design trends from their new Element Design Collective showroom; laying out surface textures in the Elemental Design Collective showroom helps clients visualize their remodels and new builds. Multiple textures like wallpaper, stone tile, wood flooring and custom cabinetry are used by Hank Hill, founder and owner at Bend Craftsmen Company, in remodels and new builds to create compelling and catchy contrast. Subway tile backsplash with a quartz counter is all the rage in kitchens across the high desert and beyond, according to Hill. An ornate orange range inspired by a former San Francisco row house resident is chosen in one of Rossi's projects as the centerpiece to a kitchen diverging from the farm chic look. Preserving a touch of wood paneling from original 1980s and '90s Central Oregon builds (ceiling and media pop-out/gas fireplace surround framing) can blend just the right amount of old and new. Remodel by Bend Craftsmen Company, tile by Nelson Tile and Stone.

on homes that are less than two years old in favor of better-performing quartz and granite with more popular patterns in the stone. We often are asked to upgrade second homes in the resort areas that are now becoming permanent residences for our customers.” In terms of revamping surfaces, Hill, who won a 2021 Best of Houzz award, sees clients asking for subway tiling, oftentimes handmade or set on a vertical edge. He also notes the popularity of the living room media and gas fireplace surround pop-out. Perfect for post-winter recreation lounging and Netflix binging, Hill feels this trend is played out on the national scene, but the functionality of the buildout for the Bend lifestyle is just too practical for it to die, he said. Rossi, the designer, believes the onset of working and educating from home amid COVID restrictions has only bolstered what was already a lifestyle-driven market in Bend. “Patrons have been adopting more pets, not going outside as much and generally spending more time at home.” As a result, durability in products is prioritized on par with, or above, aesthetics. Both Rossi and Hill see this in their client’s selections for flooring. Luxury laminate and vinyl are all the rage. A second trend Rossi shares is some clients working on two homes simultaneously. In this scenario the newcomer builds a forever luxury home while living in an interim, less-desirable home they concurrently remodel—the move often prompted by COVID. The farm chic that won’t die Because a love for outdoor sports is often a primary motivation for moving to or living in Bend, it’s hard to imagine farm chic, rustic, reclaimed and homestead-driven looks completely dying out. A local hallmark, like stucco in the Sonora or brownstones in New York, it seems that the downhome-country vibes are foundational in the Bend building brand for the foreseeable future. Colonial Urban Prairie Oregon Trail habits die hard.

Design concepts to help broaden remodeling horizons Mix textures, patterns and utilize contrast, says Hank Hill of Bend Craftsmen Company. Look for variation when working with stone, wallpaper, tile, wood, paint and flooring. Courtesy Hank Hill

Work to seamlessly combine the outside and inside and, when selecting lighting and cabinet hardware, think of it as the jewelry of a space, says Kerri Rossi of Element Design Collective. Courtesy Kerri Rossi

Gain inspiration from media that delves into trends in building, says Jennifer Nelson of Nelson Tile and Stone. She recommends the show, “Rock the Block,” on HGTV and Hulu, where top design personalities all get the same house and compete by designing it their own way. Courtesy Jennifer Nelson

“It’s great to see very different versions of the same house and know that there’s more than one way to do a room and still be on trend,” Nelson advises. “It’s also interesting to see one team do something that they think will catapult them to a win, only to find out three other teams are doing the same thing! That’s when you know you’ve got a current look.”

“I can say we are definitely bringing a better kitchen and bath experience to Central Oregon within this next year,” explains Nelson. “But we haven’t fully revealed that yet. Being able to get everything under one roof and expanding with more thoughtfully curated products is important to us. Bend is off the beaten track, but we try to think outside of our little community. Both [owner and founder] Chris [Nelson] and I were born and raised in Bend, but we are often off to the bigger cities to learn about what we don’t have here in Bend and find ways to bring it back to our beloved town.”

If You’re New Here: Gardening in the High Desert

For those coming from warmer climates, growing food or flowers can be daunting—but doable By Nicole Vulcan

are available from 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday and can be reached by calling the Deschutes County Extension Service office at 541-548-6088. People in Crook County can call Crook County Extension Wednesdays from 1-5 pm at 541-447-6228. English and Spanish versions of Growing Vegetables in Central Oregon are available at: catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/em9128 -Oregon State University also offers a number of online courses centered around permaculture. According to a definition by the Permaculture Research Institute, “Permaculture (the word, coined by Bill Mollison, is a portmanteau of permanent agriculture and permanent culture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.” OSU’s Permaculture Food Forests 101 course, taught by permaculture expert (and, full disclosure, my friend) Marisha Auerbach, is available as an instructor-led course or as a self-paced course.

Take the self-directed portion, and then opt to continue on with the five-week instructor-led portion to design a food forest on your site. Other courses available at varying times throughout the year include Advanced Permaculture Design for Climate Resilience, which starts May 3, and Permaculture: Rainwater Harvesting Online Course that starts June 3. OSU also offers a 10-week Permaculture Design Certificate online that surveys permaculture design systems. -The Central Oregon Gardeners Facebook group is among the most useful ongoing resources to get advice, support and even goodies that can help one start or maintain a garden. As its About page describes, it’s a “place for Central Oregonians (and other areas now!) to talk and learn about gardening in the high desert—the struggles that can go along with that.” Have a bug you can’t identify? Want to know why your plant is struggling? Want to swap seeds or plants? Chances are someone in the group, about 6,400 members strong as of this writing, will

be there to assist. Find it at facebook. com/groups/feedthesoil. -For those graduating from being a backyard gardener to a farmer or food producer, the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance is the place to find resources specific to this region. Find the organization at hdffa.org. -Also check out this week’s Outside story, “Secret Garden,” which outlines a few hidden treasures in local gardens, and discusses the resources available at The Environmental Center in downtown Bend.

f you’re one of the transplants who’ve recently moved here from Seattle or Portland or the Bay Area (as we know a lot of you are), you might fancy yourself a fine gardener, imbued with the natural ability to coax flowers and food from the ground just by tossing out a few seeds or starts. Growing in those lower, wetter, warmer areas is bound to make you feel like an instant expert— until you meet the challenges of the high desert. With a higher, drier and cooler climate than you might be used to, there are plenty of things to learn. For those just getting started, a few resources will expand your knowledge and network. -Oregon State University Extension Service in Deschutes County has a host of resources designed to help people grow and preserve food, including its “Growing Vegetables in Central Oregon” video class, a one-hour tutorial. There’s also a 24-page downloadable PDF by the same name, covering climate and how it relates to gardening, choosing a good site, how to mulch and irrigate and much more.

Things are definitely looking different at the Les Schwab Amphitheater, where a massive expansion of the stage and increased accessibility is underway.

I

f you’ve been on Shevlin-Hixon Drive in Bend recently, you might have noticed something strange as you drove, ran, walked or biked by—namely, that the Les Schwab Amphitheater is completely unrecognizable. Before, depending on which way you were coming from, your eye would be drawn toward the murals on the back or front sides of the stage. Now, instead, you immediately notice giant steel beams stretching toward the sky. Bend Concerts announced at the end of 2020 that the amphitheater would enter into a four-phase remodeling plan. Phase I is chugging right along and is expected to finish in June, while Phase II will begin this fall. Other phases will follow in the years to come. “We have paid specific attention to accessibility. As a grass amphitheater, there are inherent challenges to navigation especially if you use any sort of mobility device,” Marney Smith director of Bend Concerts, told the Source. “Phase I, which is happening now, includes a change in the location of the accessible entry gate, and an accessible pathway that runs along the front of the stage and along the street side of the venue. It will help provide access to all of the amenities available inside the venue.” The amphitheater first opened in 2002 and hasn’t seen changes of this magnitude since it was first built. Now, following a summer when LSA couldn’t host any shows, the return to live music in the Old Mill District will make quite the splash—and even feel new for longtime residents. With a height of 62 feet and an increase of 1,840 square feet to the stage’s footprint, the expanded size isn’t just for show. It will make things more accessible for bands and their gear, while also opening up the door for acts LSA may have missed out on in the past.

“The increased size of the stage makes it possible for us to accommodate nearly any band that wants to make Bend a tour stop,” Smith said. “In the past we missed tours we know would have done really well in this market because our stage couldn’t handle the production needs.” While people can’t walk into the grass area in front of the stage right now due to construction, there’s still a decent view from outside the fenced area. When you take into account the current progress and what the future stages of the remodel may bring (box seating, semi-permanent restrooms, food and beverage options, etc.), it’s hard not to get excited about what LSA will become—this year and beyond, in a post-COVID world. But most importantly, live music will be back there soon. “We have been working with other venues across the state and Northwest, and have a meeting with the Governor’s office on the 31st with the intention of identifying a working plan for opening up,” Smith said. “It is our hope that once vaccines are readily available to the general public, and both hospitalization rates and infection rates remain low, that we should be allowed to operate safely at full capacity. Our job is to manage people, and do so safely. We believe we can open safely, responsibly and put best practices to use by mid-summer.” And for anyone wondering what will happen to the beloved artwork on stage, including the iconic crow that showed on the Deschutes River side of the stage, Smith says they have a plan for that as well. “It won’t ever be re-configured as it was on the back of the stage, but we will make sure it finds a good home/homes during the build-out. Having large format art and/or live art installations inside the venue is something we have wanted to do for a very long time and the crow will be a nice segue to achieving that goal.”

Where the Wild Things Are… Indoors Artist Katie Daisy transforms a farmhouse into a whimsical woodland scene

By Nicole Vulcan

Katie Daisy, soaking in the inspiration that surrounds her.

W

hile some modern interior design trends lean toward the minimalist, one local artist is forging ahead with the complete opposite style in her new home. Katie Daisy, this week’s cover artist, is widely known for her beautiful, imaginative scenes of birds, flowers and nature in general. Daisy’s illustrations can be found around Central Oregon (and far beyond) adorning cards, posters and even textiles—and the Foxtail Bakeshop in Bend has an entire wall of Daisy’s striking creations in mural form. With that, it should come as no surprise to anyone to know that when given

the opportunity, Daisy turned her own home into a whimsical creation, filled with animals and botanical scenes. “After the most personally and physically tumultuous year of my life, I decided to pack up all my belongings and move to the country with my 6-year-old son, Finn,” Daisy told the Source by email. “We’re renting a gorgeous old farmhouse a little bit north of Bend. It has a huge yard, gardens, songbirds galore, resident owls, and so much room to grow and heal after a such a challenging year.” The farmhouse belongs to Brad and Kathy Irwin, Daisy’s former in-laws who also own Oregon Spirit Distillers.

“The farm is soon to be an orchard and growing site for other botanicals,” Daisy said. “We’re even getting bees! Also on the property is the headquarters of Meadowland Syrup, which I co-own with Kathy.” Meadow-

and fellow artist, Karen Eland. Within the first week of moving in, every room in the farmhouse had its walls adorned with giant animals painted in a botanical scene—inspiration for what is soon to take place outside. Karen Eland

land offers simple syrups with names inspired by birds, including Tanager, a strawberry basil flavor; Goldfinch, with a vanilla chamomile flavor and Blackbird, featuring marionberry and black pepper. Each bottle is also a work of art, with Daisy’s illustrations adorning the labels. Daisy took on the painting of the farmhouse alongside her best friend

“My home is filled with stacks of old books, rickety furniture, velvet throws, vintage floral paintings, and countless treasures collected from nature,” Daisy said. “I would describe my decorating style as eccentric farmhouse maximalist... the more colors and textures the better! I absolutely love antiquing and finding treasures that tell a story.”

Tea-dyed eggs make beautiful hues

21

Ari Levaux

Easter Brunches, and Other Stuff Get your goodies to go, and then check out these egg hunts, too

Tea-dyed eggs—especially ones that come from a diverse backyard flock—make a beautiful, muted palette.

T

he egg came first. Let’s just get that out of the way. For millions of years before humans domesticated the feathered lizards known today as “chickens,” countless generations of amphibia and reptiles, including dinosaurs, were laying eggs. The egg is an amazing system for nurturing young beings that’s just plain awe-inspiring when you think about it. It’s also a delicious and beautiful form of animal protein that no animal had to die for. When Easter comes around, people steam their homes with vinegar in order to recreate the pretty colors that come naturally from a diverse set of hens. We backyard hen keepers, aka flocksters, understand the excitement. There is something deeply captivating about a multicolored basket of eggs. We just don’t care to wait all year to enjoy it. For the flockster, every day is like Easter, especially if there is a blue-egg layer in the flock, like an Araucana or an Ameraucana. Then you can have a mix of white, brown and blue eggs. In that company, the brown eggs look reddish next to the blues, and you end up with a haul of red, white and blue eggs. Each protein-packed spheroid is a reminder of how preferable it is to give your food waste to a chicken rather than a compost pile. The girls cluck pleasantly as they convert soggy noodles, meat scraps, old greens and browned bananas into brunch. They close the loop between your kitchen

and garden and connect your home to the surrounding ecosystem. There is also something soothing and invigorating about the sound of spring chickens scratching in the dirt. Young chicks have an intoxicating zest for life that is fun to be around. After a long winter, I let the hens out of their coop and let them run around the entire back yard, including the garden, where they turn over the top layer of soil and get it aerated a little, like scratching the earth’s head after a long sleep, at the beginning of a big day. Last year my flock had dwindled down to just two golden Buff Orpington hens both named Annabelle. At least they had each other through the winter, but they needed company. And thanks to a deal that went down in a parking lot near the farmers market the other week, we’ve got some reinforcements. I bought a cardboard box with six birds stuffed inside from a market vendor whose eggs I buy when my girls aren’t laying enough. The timing of this transaction was meticulously planned. The new chicks had to be big enough to not get pecked apart by the old hens, and old enough to be discerned from the roosters, which we could not accommodate. But the new chicks could not be too big, else they in turn would bully the senior hens. I set the box of boisterous cargo in the chicken yard and took off the lid. A single feathered head popped up like a periscope. One by one they hopped out.

After a polite, deferential period of about 30 seconds, the new chickens quickly made themselves at home. They knew exactly what to do in a chicken yard, and were running around like juvenile delinquents, while the old hens watched from the corner, making concerned squawking sounds in my general direction. But when evening fell, the new girls had all found their way into the coop and were snuggled up on perches alongside the old girls. The flock merger was complete. The hen party never ends, but if you don’t have the yard space, extra bandwidth or desire to take care of living, eating, pooping beings, you certainly don’t have to. You can buy eggs from local chicken farmers for your dietary needs. And if you want to make some colored eggs for Easter, buy some cheap white eggs at the store and color them with natural products you can find around the house. Natural dyes give a more “realistic” look to the eggs, with changes in hue and little bumps and flakes that make them look like they came from the nest of a magic bird, rather than eggs with the flawless, airbrushed finish of synthetic dyes. Many types of household foods, like beets and blueberries, can be used to color anything white. I prefer using dried leaves, spices and flowers, and basically make tea. My favorite materials are turmeric, black tea, blue pea flower, which makes a bright indigo color and is easy to find online.

Ah, Easter Brunch—one of those traditions that has not quite been welcomed back in this middle-time between pandemic and “normal.” For those locals looking for some way to mark the Easter holiday, here are a few items of note, food-wise and otherwise. -Brasada Ranch is offering a themed brunch from its Range Restaurant & Bar, plus egg hunts and a custom Easter-themed obstacle course, open to resort members and guests. -Tate and Tate Catering is offering an Easter Brunch menu that includes the option of glazed honey ham or candied maple pepper bacon, pastries and veggie or meat strata; orders have to be placed by March 31. -Bleu Bite Catering is offering an Easter feast for pickup, with its “Easter Original” offering marionberry roasted ham, creamy mac and cheese, cheese potato gratin and ambrosia salad. Call for availability. -First Presbyterian Church in Bend is doing an Easter Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, April 3. Show up anytime between 11am and 3pm to find all the hidden Easter objects and get a goodie bag. -Free Spirit Yoga + Fitness + Play is offering a Toddler Easter Egg Hunt as well as a Kids Easter Egg Hunt inside its facility. Come for a 90-minute Open Play session and take part in an egg hunt at the same time. Toddler Egg Hunt at 9am & 10:30am; Kids (12 and under) at noon and 1:30pm. -The Egg My House! Fundraiser for Furry Freight Shelter Transport involves having masked volunteers hide plastic candy- and toy-filled eggs in your yard, with the proceeds benefiting the nonprofit Furry Freight Shelter Transport.

SCREEN A Neo-Noir Comedy Thriller? Be confounded by "The Kid Detective" By Jared Rasic Photo courtesy Stage 6 Films

VOLUME 25  ISSUE 13  /  APRIL 1, 2021  /  THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

f you held a gun to my head and made me pick a favorite genre of movie, I’d say horror, but if I got to pick another one, I’d say the genre of Lowered Expectations. The best example I can give is “The Royal Tenenbaums,” where everyone is talented and brilliant in their own ways but is too sad or broken to be anything other than a big batch of wasted potential. Getting to watch characters rediscover their worth is a beautiful thing to me. I’ve been hearing about this new movie called “The Kid Detective” that sounded like it fit the bill perfectly, so I went down to my friendly neighborhood Blockbuster and rented it. Holy hell, everyone, this one checked all my weirdly specific movie boxes. It’s sad and funny and exciting and dark all at the same time, while having a legit mystery at its center that can be figured out by intrepid viewers who are amateur sleuths themselves. When Abe Applebaum was 12 years old, he became the talk of the town when

He’s never really recovered from not finding Gracie. When a local high school girl hires him to find out who murdered her boyfriend by stabbing him 17 times, Abe finally has an opportunity to live up to his past as a child prodigy and to finally become the detective he knows he can be. Adam Brody (“The O.C.” and “The Last Blockbuster”) gives such a heartbreaking and razor-sharp performance as Abe that even when he’s at his most unlikable, we’re still ultimately rooting for him to get his s*&@ together. He carries the movie effortlessly and proves he should be carrying even bigger movies in the future.

Writer/director Evan Morgan has crafted something really special with “The Kid Detective.” It’s an idiosyncratic neo-noir crime thriller with shades of “Chinatown” and “Kiss Me Deadly,” while simultaneously being a quirky and deadpan comedy that feels like Wes Anderson without the whimsy. The twists and turns of the story are incredibly dark and upsetting, but all in service of telling a story unlike any I’ve ever seen before. If you’re in the mood for something truly different, you’ll find it with “The Kid Detective.”  The Kid Detective

Kansas Avenue Learning Garden Ever since moving to Bend, I have loved riding my bike by the Kansas Avenue Learning Garden downtown, in small part for the sidewalk-lining “youpick” beans and strawberries. Maintained by The Environmental Center, the space is an educational tool for local students. For the 2021 growing season, Amity Creek Magnet School is slated to care for this space through the spring, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend through the summer. The garden hosts a happy hour starting Tuesday, May 4, which continues, every Tuesday, 4-6pm, through August. Plus, ongoing volunteer work parties are accompanied by donated beverages (in the form of beer and kombucha). “It’s a beautiful green space close to downtown that people use as a natural refuge. It’s a place that kids have dug their

hands in the dirt for the last 10 years, planting seeds, spreading compost, thinning seedlings and harvesting crops,” said Denise Rowcroft, longtime garden program manager. “It’s our way of connecting kids to nature through food. Since starting the garden in 2011, we are taking our collective experience and supporting schools with their own school gardens through technical assistance, small grants and garden educator network gatherings. Shout out to all the volunteers and local businesses that have supported this garden over the last decade!” For more public gardens, check out Worthy Garden Club, Mary Jane’s Park Cameron Clark

s spring rears its temperamental head via finicky post-equinox, high-desert indecision, green thumbs are beginning to feel an irresistible itch. At first glance, newcomers to Bend might think cultivating in nutrient-poor volcanic soils, amid the shortest summer a Californian has ever seen, is all in vain. But to the trained gardener’s discerning eye, there is many a lush oasis tucked behind gates and in corner downtown lots to prove otherwise. Whether you want to gather inspiration in creating your own green space or you want to just pass by an inspirational postage-stamp community flower plot, these are a few low-key secret gardens to know about.

and the McMenamins Old St. Frances School compound. Former ‘Tour of Gardens’ Delaware Avenue Residential Garden First learning to garden while weathering the perils of chemotherapy, Cameron Clark enlisted master gardener Lindene Douglas to help him display certain themes in his downtown Bend garden, such as inspiration from world travel, gardening stories of ancestors, interest in the arts and a general love for beauty. They were so successful that Clark’s garden scored a spot on the High Desert Tour of Gardens, a self-guided tour of six beautiful gardens in Central Oregon that usually takes place late summer. “A terribly neglected house and yard, the back yard to our 1927 Craftsman was only dirt, blackberry bushes and overgrown hops,” Clark described. “The front yard was no better, and there were no side beds. Together, we imagined a soul-garden, one that would celebrate favorite plants from generations of gardeners before me— my grandmother Dorothy’s Rose of Sharon, my grandmother Floreine’s Columbine, my father’s annual ritual of planting an early girl tomato plant for my mom, and more.” To delight the senses and give visitors the feeling of transport to another part of the world, Clark has also grown ligularia, hydrangea, day lilies and peach-scented azalea, to name just a few flowers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Playwright August Strindberg (1849–1912) was a maverick innovator who loved to experiment with plot and language. One of his stories takes place in a dream and the hero is the Christ-like daughter of a Vedic god. He once said that he felt “an immense need to become a savage and create a new world.” Given your current astrological potentials, Aries, I suspect that might be an apt motto for you right now. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. There’s no need for you to become a savage. In fact, it’s better if you don’t. But the coming weeks will definitely be a good time to start creating a new world.

Spring 2021

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Who says all Tauruses are gentle, risk-avoidant, sensible, and reliable? Taurus author Mary MacLane (1861–1929), known as the “Wild Woman of Butte, Montana,” authored shocking, scandalous books. In I Await the Devil’s Coming, she testified, “I am not good. I am not virtuous. I am not generous. I am merely a creature of intense passionate feeling. I feel— everything. It is my genius. It burns me like fire.” Can I convince you, Taurus, to make her your role model for the coming weeks? APRIL FOOL! I don’t think you should be EXACTLY like MacLane. Please leave out the part about “I am not good. I am not virtuous. I am not generous,” as well as the “I await the devil’s coming” part. But yes, do be a creature of intensely passionate feeling. Let your feelings be your genius, burning in you like a fire. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poet Emily Dickinson had a good sense of humor, so she was probably making a wry joke when she wrote, “The lovely flowers embarrass me. They make me regret I am not a bee.” But who knows? Maybe Emily was being a bit sincere, too. In any case, I advise you to make a list of all the things you regret not being—all the qualities and assets you wish you had, but don’t. It’s a favorable time to wallow in remorse. APRIL FOOL! I was totally lying! In fact, I hope you will do the reverse: Engage in an orgy of self-appreciation, celebrating yourself for being exactly who you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Provocation specialist Lydia Lunch is a singer and poet who’s skilled at generating interesting mischief. She testifies, “My daily existence is a battlecade of extreme fluctuations where chaos clobbers apathy, which beats the s--- out of depression which follows irritability which slams into anger which eclipses ecstasy which slips through my fingers far too often.” In the coming weeks, Cancerian, I recommend you adopt her melodramatic approach to living the intense life. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Please don’t be like Lydia Lunch in the near future. On the contrary: Cultivate regal elegance, sovereign poise, and dynamic equanimity.

named Thiess of Kaltenbrun was put on trial for being a werewolf. He claimed to be a noble werewolf, however. He said he regularly went down to Hell to do holy combat against the Devil. I suggest you make him your inspirational role model in the coming weeks. Be as weird as you need to be in order to fight for what’s good and right. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. What I really meant to say was: Be as weird as you need to be to fight for what’s good and right, but without turning into a werewolf, zombie, vampire, or other supernatural monster.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ❝I want to hear rau-

cous music, to brush against bodies, to drink fiery Benedictine,” wrote author Anais Nin. “Beautiful women and handsome men arouse fierce desires in me. I want to dance. I want drugs. I want to know perverse people, to be intimate with them. I want to bite into life.❞ All that sounds like perfect counsel for you to consider right now, dear Virgo! APRIL FOOL! I lied. Nin’s exuberant testimony might be an interesting perspective to flirt with—if the COVID-19 virus had been completely tamed. But it hasn’t. So I must instead suggest that you find ways to express this lively, unruly energy in safe and sublimated ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here are affirmations that will serve you well in the coming days. 1. “I am willing to make mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.” 2. “I am grateful that I’m not as judgmental as all the shortsighted, self-righteous people.” 3. “I assume full responsibility for my actions, except those that are someone else’s fault.” 4. “A good scapegoat is as welcome as a solution to the problem.” APRIL FOOL! All the preceding affirmations are total bunk! Don’t you dare use them. Use these instead: 1. “I enjoy taking responsibility for my actions.” 2. “Rather than indulging in the reflex to blame, I turn my attention to fixing the problem.” 3. “No one can make me feel something I don’t want to feel.” 4. “I’m free from believing in the images people have of me.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to author Kahlil Gibran, “If we were all to sit in a circle and confess our sins, we would laugh at each other for lack of originality.” But I challenge you Scorpios to refute that theory in the coming days. For the sake of your sanity and health, you need to commit highly original sins—the more, the better. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Save your novel, imaginative sinning for later. The truth is that now is an excellent time to explore the joyous and healthy practice of being extremely virtuous. Imitate author Susan Sontag: “My idolatry: I’ve lusted after goodness. Wanting it here, now, absolutely, increasingly.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming months would be a great time to start your own university and then award yourself a PhD in Drugless Healing or Mathematical Reincarnation or Political Metaphysics—or any other subject you’d like to be considered an expert in. Hey, why not give yourself three PhDs and call yourself a Professor Emeritus? APRIL FOOL! I’m just joking. The coming months will indeed be an extremely favorable time to advance your education, but with real learning, not fake credentials.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): After his Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain committed suicide, Capricorn drummer Dave Grohl was depressed for months. To cheer himself up, he wrote and recorded an album’s worth of songs, playing almost all the instruments himself: drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and vocals. I think you should try a similar spectacularly heroic solo task in the coming weeks. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Here’s my true and actual advice: Now is a time when you should gather all the support and help and cooperation you can possibly garner for an interesting project. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik told her psychoanalyst León Ostrov that if she were going to steal something, it would be “the façade of a certain collapsed house in a little town called Fontenay-aux-Roses [near Paris].” What was so special about this façade? Its windows were made of “magical” lilac-colored glass that was “like a beautiful dream.” In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you, too, to decide what marvel you would steal—and then go steal it! APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. Yes, definitely decide what you would steal—it’s important to give your imagination permission to be outrageous— but don’t actually steal it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve never understood the appeal of singer-songwriter Morrissey, especially since he began endorsing bigoted farright politicians. However, I want to recommend that you adopt the attitude he once expressed in a letter to a friend. “It was a terrible blow to hear that you actually worked,” he wrote. “It’s so old-fashioned to work. I’d much rather lounge about the house all day looking fascinating.” Be like that in the coming weeks, Pisces! APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, you’d be making a silly mistake to lie around the house looking fascinating. It’s a highly favorable time for you to find ways to work harder and smarter.

he pandemic and resulting quarantine have resulted in both established and first-time cannabis users uniting in gratitude that edibles are now widely available, often with “dispensary-to-door” delivery options. Marriages and relationships of all manners were well served by edibles, often discreetly consumed gummies, to inject patience, calm and favorably altered perspectives into the challenges of the new home/office/classroom/ gym/sheltering in place space. Yet for all their positive attributes, “yummy” is not one bestowed upon these gelatin-based squares of THC and CBD. Convenient and easy to accurately determine a serving, yes, but the taste isn’t why you bought them. Cannabis shines in a wide variety of edibles but finding top-shelf products can be hit and miss. Portland-based Hapy Kitchen ( just one p) has impressively established itself as a one-stop shop for those who “nom nom nom” their Devil’s Kale, billing themselves as “Artisan Edibles with an expected effect.” Hapy Kitchen offers a wide range of both products, and effects, for the consumer. It produces 25 products including brownies, cookies, chocolate bars, hard candies, caramels, tinctures and yes, gummies, among others. This won them back-to-back medals in the edibles division of the High Times Oregon Cannabis Cup of 2019/20. The judges were correct: everything I’ve tried has been top notch, for both the mouth and the mind. Entrusted with getting the Happy in Hapy Kitchen is Head Chef Carla Burns, who developed and produced recipes for foods already enjoyed by cannabis enthusiasts, including Salt and Straw Ice Cream and Mama’s Confections. She now crafts cannabis edibles that are not only tasty AF, but also nonGMO, locally sourced, with vegan and gluten-free options. Each product has 50 mg of THC, or 50 mg of CBD and THC each. Because I take my responsibilities seriously as a journalist seeking to normalize the discussion and consumption of cannabis among age-appropriate adults, and because my appetite and tolerance for cannabis edibles is Jabba The Hut-esque,I tried all 25. But not at once...barely. My favorites were the partnership with Hash Hamilton, the “Han Solo Burger + Dark Chocolate Bar,” a small bar scored into 10 squares infused with 5 mg of THC from Live Rosin per serving square. A close second were the caramels, because first of all, they are caramels. Made with Alpenrose cream and butter,

choices include a Sea Salt and Coffee, flavored with “organic Guatemalan Trailhead Coffee.” They can be savored or scarfed, and I did both. The aforementioned “expected effects” arrive through the addition of True Terpenes, trademarked blends of non-cannabis derived terpenes frequently found in many strains of both sativa and indica cannabis. The combination of THC and other cannabinoids, along with particular terpenes, are believed to generate strain-specific effects. That Purple Hindu Kush which leaves you a drooling, napping hot mess, or that Sour Tangie that has you re-re-re organizing your books by height, color and then topic till 2 am? That’s on the terpenes as much as the THC. The Sativa Blend has terpenes of Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Humulene and Alpha Pinene, and the Indica of Beta Caryophyllene, Nerolidol, Terpinolene, Linalool and Humulene. The “Coffeelicious Sativa” caramel was sprinkled with finely ground coffee, and resulted in some active, engaged creative time, and did not leave me with a sedated, thick face-plant outcome that some edibles can impart. Dividing a soft caramel into the listed “1/10th” serving size isn’t easily achieved. No one ever has said, “Oh, just give me a 10th of that caramel.” Especially Americans. These aren’t recommended for novice, lightweight users, as the preciseness of a dose is too painstaking to establish. Stick with the chocolate bars, or the gummies and hard candies, which are both infused with True Terpenes. The tinctures include Chemdawg, made exclusively from that same strain, and produced to be flavorless. This allows for easier mixing into beverages or made more palatable to those adverse to the taste of the cannabis. Highly recommended for getting high. Find Hapy Kitchen at hapykitchen.com.


SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS

I’m a woman in my late 20s. The guy I’m seeing is “not a phone person” and hates texting. Our time together is wonderful. However, he rarely texts except to make plans. I am used to frequent contact throughout the day via text with boyfriends. My friends say he should be texting every day, multiple times a day. I’m worried his lack of texts signals a lack of interest. —Disturbed Technology was supposed to set us free, not dial back our personal autonomy to that of my late hamster. I didn’t have control over Amy Alkon much when I was 8, but I loved how at any moment, I could go all kiddie Mussolini, pull Squeaky out of his cage, and make him turn tricks (uh... do somersaults on a pencil). A smartphone makes constant communication possible; “it doesn’t mandate it,” I wrote in “Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck.” Your friends’ daily texting quotas aside, what might it mean that your boyfriend doesn’t spend his entire day texting you? Um...he has a job? He prefers to communicate in spoken-word form, ideally in person? (See “not a phone person.”) Frankly, maybe he’s on to something, considering that so many text-versations, beyond the constant attention-hijacking, are basically conversational iceberg lettuce, amounting to: “I’m still alive!” “Yep, still alive here, too. LOL. LOL. LOL.” Chances are your guy shows he cares in a number of ways. Take stock of those. Still feel a little underloved? Consider “the dependency paradox.” Social psychologist Brooke Feeney, who coined the term, finds that in romantic relationships, the more an insecure partner sees they can count on the other to be responsive to their appeals for love and comforting, the less needy and clingy they end up being. (Ultimately, through repeated dependence comes independence.) You might ask him to be more cuddly-touchy-affectionate with you, which, Feeney finds, helps insecure partners calm down and enjoy their relationship. Assuming he cares about you (as “Our time together is wonderful” suggests), it’s a relationship “task” he should enjoy. And though you’re used to texts from a boyfriend, demanding texts from a man who hates texting is to be avoided. It makes a girlfriend seem less like a girlfriend and more like Mussolini with boobs and a phone seem less like a phone and more like a cattle prod that delivers dings, cat memes, and throw-up-face emojis.

I really appreciate the science you laid out showing that men instinctively look at women, even if they really love the woman they’re with. Maybe I should stop feeling a tad bad about looking at beautiful women and enjoying beauty? After all, my wife and I have been married 26 years, and I’ve never even kissed anyone else during that time. Admittedly, I’ve sometimes wanted to, and I’ve had opportunities. Thanks for a perspective that brings in science and isn’t the usual man-bashing that’s out there. —Male Reader Your eyes probably go many places without your body robotically following suit—like at a buffet when you ogle the chocolate cake and baby doughnuts while dutifully piling a plate with raw broccoli and fat-free dip. Fortunately, broccoli rarely retaliates by sobbing, calling you a pig, and making you sleep in your car for three days. Evolutionary psychologist David Buss tells a story about a married guy who emailed him after reading his book “The Evolution of Desire,” which lays out scientific evidence supporting evolutionary theories about human mating psychology. Buss gets heat for the book from those whose beliefs it upends—those who cling to the idea that men and women are largely identical in basic sexual psychology—and he admits, “Some of what I discovered about human mating is not nice.” The man conceded that “maybe some people worry that men’s desire for sexual variety will give men an excuse for cheating.” But, he said, learning about it helped him stay faithful. Buss said the man had previously interpreted his attraction to various women he encountered “as indications that maybe he didn’t love his wife any more. But after reading my book, he realized, ‘Oh, that’s my evolved desire for sexual variety; it doesn’t mean that I don’t love my wife.’” The man’s revelation reflects what Buss sees as “two separate evolved systems”: one for love and one for lust. “We become attracted to other people even if we’re in a loving mating relationship and fully in love with our partner.” In other words, no, you shouldn’t feel bad about eyeballing the ladies. Focus on how much you love your wife and how, despite MMO—means, motive, and opportunity—looking has yet to give way to a need, upon arriving home, to sit in your car feverishly working the hand sanitizer in hopes of getting the glitter-flecked spray tanner off your pants.

Fair Housing

What it means, who’s protected and the unintentional discrimination characteristic more than another, when there was not the intention or motive to discriminate. Take, for example, a landlord requiring tenants to have full-time employment. This could adversely affect someone with disabilities who is not able to hold full-time employment based on physical limitations, or a single mother who is caring for her two young children. In terms of real estate, it’s important to note that verbiage in advertisements can fall under the purview of Fair Housing. For example, advertising that states something is walking distance to a place of interest is in fact a discriminatory statement and affects people with disabilities—or perhaps referring to a condo or apartment as a perfect spot for a single executive; thereby discouraging and discriminating based on familial status (a person with children). Steering is another form of discrimination that violates the Fair Housing Act. It’s the practices of directing one toward or away from certain neighborhoods based on their race, national origin or familial status. An example of steering would be a real estate broker choosing to not show an African American buyer a certain neighborhood because that neighborhood is predominantly white; thereby limiting the availability of housing choices. While the Fair Housing Act applies to most housing, there are some exemptions. The Act exempts owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units, single-family housing sales without the use of a broker or licensed representative, and housing operated by private clubs that limits the occupancy to members only. Awareness is key when it concerns Fair Housing. There are many resources available online when questioning compliance with the Fair Housing Act—or one can reach out to a local real estate industry professional with questions or for clarification.

hat is fair housing? It’s the right to choose housing free from unlawful discrimination. This applies to anyone involved in the sale and purchase of residential real estate, as well as anyone involved in the renting/leasing of residential real estate. This includes real estate brokers, property managers, landlords, lenders and insurers. The Fair Housing Act was federally adopted in 1968 as a part of the Civil Rights Act, which was later expanded in 1988 to make illegal discrimination when renting, buying, insuring, obtaining a mortgage, obtaining housing assistance or participating in any other housing-related activities, regardless of a person’s protected class. The protected classes on a federal level are race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status and those with a physical or mental disability. The State of Oregon has expanded on the list of protected classes to include marital status, sexual orientation and gender identity, and also addresses and makes illegal to discriminate based on one’s source of income. The income sources protected under Oregon State law are Oregon residents who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability benefits. In addition, recipients of unemployment insurance benefits, Section 8 (HUD) vouchers and agency rent checks. In Oregon, fair housing applies to ALL dwellings. This includes single family homes, apartments, condos, floating homes, retirement housing, assisted living, adult foster care homes, shelters or transitional housing, rent assistance programs and motel rooms. When considering forms of discrimination, one also needs to beware and consider Disparate Impact (unintentional discrimination). Disparate Impact refers to practices that adversely affect one group of people of a protected
