Wow, what a week.

Do I find myself saying that a lot lately? Very likely, yes. These are unprecedented times, and it seems that each week, they get a little more unprecedented.

Inside these pages you’ll hear a plea from two undocumented students, asking you to vote and why it matters more than ever. You’ll get our exploration of how ICE operates, and how last week was far from the only time they’ve rounded up individuals in our community. You’ll get our opinion of what comes next after community members stood against federal troops. AND—our long-awaited Spanish News (Noticias Españolas) section arrives, just as a major event unfolds for the Latinx community. Meanwhile, read how two local prospective farmers won their battle to farm in rural Deschutes County.

ven before the events of last week, we have known that we are living in unusual times. The ongoing pandemic, the unrest stemming from the deaths of George Floyd and so many others and the growing economic uncertainty are all coalescing into a tense time. There’s no template for what we are witnessing right now, as people of this nation, this state and this city seek answers.

It is in times like these that the public calls out for real leadership—for flexible, responsive leaders to rise up and share their vision of how we move forward together. Leadership sometimes comes in the form of individuals being willing to share what they know— or what they don’t—about a situation.

It also comes in the form of public bodies responding rapidly and professionally to questions and concerns.

During the protest that erupted Aug. 12 in front of two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement buses, we witnessed several leaders who showed up and spoke out. We watched as others remained silent. City Councilors Barb Campbell and Gena Goodman-Campbell, along with District Attorney John Hummel deserve recognition for being willing to appear and speak to the moment. They were not operating off some rehearsed script that leaders can use during times like these. Even with so much unknown at that time, they were honest about what they didn’t know, and what they hoped to find out. Showing up counts. To that end, the new and already-beleaguered police chief, Mike Krantz, also deserves recognition for alerting locals to the arrival of federal agents.

When people in our communities are scared and plagued by so many unanswered questions, leaders in government need to adapt and to respond, sometimes even sharing what they don’t yet know. That is a mark of caring leadership.

Following the night of the protests, when Bend witnessed dozens of U.S. Border Patrol police march in, pulling two men out of the buses and carrying them away, many questions remain that the public would like answered. It is not lost on us that at a time when the community is asking a lot of questions, journalism continues to be ravaged— sacrificed, often, to the modern gods of rumor and speculation on social media.

While social media has its place in information-sharing, it cannot replace the work that journalists do. With fewer and fewer resources at our disposal— and fewer and fewer of our journalistic colleagues left employed in this business—it becomes an important duty for those who are left to try to answer

the questions that come out of a massive event like the one last Wednesday.

What the community wants to know now centers around how ICE officials gained access to the citizenship information that led them to round up the two men. Was it a breach of citizenship data at the county level? Was there overt cooperation between any local officials and federal agents? These are important questions about how we are governed. And the answers lie in the fact-finding that comes through a journalist’s public records requests. It is our right as Americans to have access to emails, text messages and other correspondence between government officials that may help the public understand how the people who represent them operate—especially during times like these.

Right now, that fact-finding mission is stalled. We have an obligation as journalists to get this information and put it in a context that gives you, the reader, a deeper understanding of the systems that may or may not have come into play to see these men identified and rounded up. As local governments operating inside a sanctuary state, our local agencies should not be providing—purposefully or inadvertently—information that leads to the detection or apprehension of people suspected of being in violation of federal immigration law.

The public’s best shot at gaining this information is through interviews with public officials, and also through public records requests. We rely on this information to help us sort out rumor and speculation from fact. Obtaining and sorting through these records requests is one thing that separates journalists from the innuendo that flies on social media. As of press time, however, by and large the records requests we have made to various public bodies who may have had involvement in the roundups of the two men have not been delivered. At the City of Bend, we were told Friday we would be given an estimate as to the costs involved in our requests to them. As of press time Tuesday, we have not gotten that estimate nor delivery of our requests. Requests to the Deschutes County Jail and sheriff have also not been delivered. We want to see these records—but so, too, do the many readers who have written, called, emailed or otherwise responded to our coverage of this matter.

In a shrinking media landscape, with so few journalists left standing—especially as it pertains to events that make national news—we hold our public bodies to a higher level of attention and responsiveness. The public wants to know.

trend. It’s in Oregon’s political lineage to be an early adopter of ideas that demonstrate promise to increase independence and create stronger communities.

A universal basic income that frees more Oregonians to cover rent, child care, and the necessities also frees them to begin asking the very questions that will shape which communities emerge stronger after COVID: what new skills can I learn? What new opportunities can I pursue? What smart risks should I take?

All the while, it will reduce the need for expensive city and county services focused on keeping people in place and helping them relocate when their lives get upended. In other words, it pays to pay people.

It’s expensive to live in Bend but it doesn’t have to be. A living wage can become a normal wage by following the lead of other policy innovators in communities blue and red, north and south, small and large and adopting a universal basic income.

RE: THE KARENS OF CENTRAL OREGON HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY—AND IT’S NOT, “CAN I SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER?” 8/13

I’m now at the point of changing my name, and I’ve decided that if this is still going on by the end of the year it’ll be my January birthday gift to myself. Using it to describe a wide range of despicable behaviors and traits is ridiculous, but I absolutely will not be associated with a name that in any way implies racism. I literally had a customer service person snort on the phone the other day when I gave my name during a request for a tracking number. It’s pretty crappy :-( —Karen Brodsky, via bendsource.com

and inclusion in realizing the promise of our Declaration of Independence. If we ignore this history and talk only about the present, we will be denying today’s students a treasure chest of stories waiting to be told. Discovering this history will do more to bring together students with different racial backgrounds than just discussing current events. Making this happen calls for educational reform, freeing teachers to explore new ways to present lessons that engage everyone.

THE LITTLE GIRL & DEMOCRACY

On the night of the protest our Mayor Sally Russell let the new Bend PD Police Chief speak for her. We were told federal forces were coming to sweep us out of the area and that Bend PD would do nothing. The crowd visibly tensed. She then walked away, surrounded by police into the dark night without a word to anyone.

We were left alone by the leadership of Bend, those that had the power and who could have helped. Those that could have spoken words of healing and comfort.

Those that could have diffused the situation and made a difference.

Behind me a Bend mother had to console her 7-year-old daughter who burst out sobbing after watching our mayor disappear into the cold night asking, “Mom? Are we going to die?”

This is why Sally must be removed from office. I don’t care what your politics are; a mayor also wears the hat of empathy and leadership.

Leaving children, mothers, and peaceful protesters to men with guns and batons, Federal Forces who do not live here, actual

militarized wolves, is NOT leadership.

Sally, you let men with violence come into our community and terrorize little girls learning for the first time what participant democracy looks like.

Sadly, for that young sobbing girl she did not get to see what strong female leadership looks like. #resign —Patric Douglas

RE: BEND’S POLICE CHIEF RECOUNTS ICE PROTEST EVENTS (CON VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL) PUBLISHED AT BENDSOURCE.COM

The Source has provided a community service by publishing a full statement, in English and Spanish, from Bend Police Chief regarding the civil disobedience event by Bend citizens who objected to Federal officials lawfully performing their functions in our community.

The cutting edge of peaceful, freedom of expression is where that “speech” interferes with Federal agents’ duties to protect and serve by lawfully detaining persons who are themselves violating laws of the United States.

In my opinion, the United States desperately needs people to accept employment, and my experience is people who come to the United States through extra-legal means, are here to work and better their lives.

Enforcement of our laws should rely LESS ON FORCE and more on cooperation, and persuasive powers. Better training of police, reducing reliance of physical force, pepper spray, guns is essential to our continuation as a free people. And citizens need to be taught the difference between speech and interference.

—John Foote

The use of Karen as a pejorative term meant to degrade white women is ipso facto racist and should not be perpetuated by the media. The English language is resplendent with appropriate terms to describe reprehensible behavior. I’m truly amazed that this slur has been so readily spread by local and national media, especially at a time when there is such a strong movement to raise people’s consciousness.

RE: ADVOCATING FOR BLACK LIVES, IN AN INTERNSHIP 8/13

Teaching history has always been problematic, more of an exercise of indoctrination than education. Books written recently, many of them directed to young readers, present a history more accurate and exciting than anything have been exposed to so far. Black Lives have mattered ever since this nation was founded.

5 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 27 / AUGUST 20, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

There’s a lot of talk about how expensive it is to live in Bend. But just how expensive is it? Thankfully, the folks at MIT have an answer: a living wage for a family of four with one adult working is $28.42 an hour; if both parents work, that wage comes to $17.99. Where would these wages go? For child care, $6,800 per kid. For housing, north of $12,000 per year with one or two kids -- but that climbs to more than $18,000 if you have three kids or more. And, finally, at least $10,000 for transportation.

So do people have a shot in hell in living here? Not if they are counting on the minimum wage —$12.00. Not if they’re a low-income worker—Opportunity Insights calculated that earnings as of May 30 have decreased by 26.1% compared to January 2020. And, certainly not if they’re financially insecure and looking for work—over the same time period, employment rates among low-income workers has decreased by 30.4 percent in Deschutes County.

If Bend wants to retain its sense of community—to hold on to the people that have long called this slice of Oregon home, then the city, state, and federal government need to take drastic action.

Back in 2016, 1 in 100 renter homes were evicted each year in Redmond; the rate was 0.56 in 100 in Bend. Making the odds of eviction even higher was the fact that across Deschutes County rent took up about a third of people’s incomes.

To Bend’s credit, the City made several zoning changes to try to increase the housing supply and drive rent down— it wasn’t and won’t be enough. To Governor Brown’s credit, the state passed a regional minimum wage law with regular bumps in pay to try to keep up with costs in living—it wasn’t and won’t be enough.

And, there’s no need to talk about the failures at the federal level—whatever support existed recently expired and has only been partially patched by President Trump’s executive order.

The factors forcing folks to pick up and head to cheaper pastures have only grown in strength due to COVID. It follows that the inadequate supports afforded to Central Oregonians pre-COVID have now become tragically insufficient. Again, preCOVID, the median wage was already short of a living wage—$24.01 to be precise. That average has surely fallen as jobs have disappeared and the economy has tanked.

The scale of the barriers to living and remaining in Bend have proven to be too high for traditional means of policymaking. It’s time to make a universal basic income a reality for Central Oregonians.

As more and more cities and counties adopt this new form of support, Bend and Deschutes County shouldn’t miss the

The Dreamers Who Do

For local DACA recipients, the fear of legal uncertainty—and deportation—is an everyday thing

By Cayla Clark

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / AUGUST 20, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Kyle Switzer

“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.”

– Sarah Ban Breathnach

L

iliana Bernabe was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and crossed the border with her parents as soon as she turned five. After short stints in California and Colorado, her family moved to Oregon, where they’ve been living for the past 15 years. “I found out that I was undocumented when I was around 12,” she said in an earlier interview with the Source. “When I was 16 I was able to understand exactly what that meant.”

Bernabe explained that while she never grew up fearing her own deportation, she was constantly afraid of losing her parents.

“I grew up as an American,” she said.

“To me, that’s what I am. I’m a student.

Who would want to take students? I did have a constant fear when my parents weren’t home. I would think, ‘If they were taken, what would I do? What would me and my siblings do?’”

Wendi, who preferred her last name remain private, was born in Mexico City and traveled to the U.S. with her fami-

legal protection. In June, the Supreme Court overturned the Administration’s attempt to end DACA. Both women shared their experiences applying for and receiving their permits.

“It was a pretty nerve-wracking experience, knowing that the USCIS [United States Citizenship and Immigration Services] had access to my information,” Bernabe explained.

“My address, my phone number, my parents’ information. I didn’t know if it would put us in danger. My parents told me not to live in fear. They said, ‘The opportunity for a better life, that’s what we brought you to the States for.’ I got my driver’s license shortly after that, and being able to apply for in-state tuition made a huge difference. It was nice living without fear that something would happen to me so that I could be there for my parents if something ever happened. We were able to buy a home thanks to the DACA permit. We’re very proud homeowners; it shows the hard work that we’ve been putting into the country.

We’re not here to harm anyone, but simply to live in peace. We don’t want to take anyone’s job.”

“I started to believe that division was here in Bend—until I showed up on Wednesday. To see that the community showed up to support racial minorities was amazing.”

—Liliana Bernabe ly when she was 7. “We moved here for several reasons,” she explained. “The standard, you know, to start a better life. My dad had a reliable job opportunity, he opened up a restaurant with his friend. We moved in with friends until my mom was able to purchase a home on a rented lot, and we lived in that house for about 17 years.”

The two women found themselves in Bend, where they have lived, worked and established themselves as members of a close-knit community.

2012: The Advent of DACA Bernabe was 16 and Wendi was 18 when they became Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients, granted a permit that would protect them from deportation and legally allow them to work in the U.S. In 2012, President Barack Obama created the policy geared toward protecting the Dreamers— immigrants brought to the country as children.

Since 2016, the Trump Administration has been actively fighting against this

Wendi noted that she never felt at risk of deportation until she applied for her DACA permit. “They asked for an incredible amount of information,” she said. “I applied in 2012, and I had to give access to pretty much all of my personal information so that they knew I wasn’t a threat to the country. Once I received my permit I went out and got my license. I was finally able to participate in things that my neighbors and friends were participating in.”

As Bernabe and Wendi reported, DACA put their minds at ease. In light of recent events in Bend, however, the stability they had long felt was again compromised.

2020: Enter ICE On Aug. 12, hundreds of locals showed up in hopes of preventing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from departing Bend with two undocumented men who ICE alleged were a threat to the public. After several hours of protest, federal agents forcefully intervened.

Hundreds of protesters turned out in Bend to block ICE buses on Aug. 12.

“This isn’t the first time they’ve showed up,” Wendi explained.

“They’ve been here several times; this was just the first time it became big news. One of the biggest issues with ICE being in Bend this time was that two large unmarked buses were not necessary to pick up two people; really, this could’ve been handled by the police department rather than a federal entity. There were lawyers present requesting warrants; the officers refused to read these men their rights.

Anyone else being arrested has those rights, that’s part of the freedom, part of the greatness of this country. When the federal government oversteps their boundaries and doesn’t follow procedures or reinforce the protocols that are meant to protect and serve, then it becomes a political issue.”

ICE officials, aware that information about the seizure of undocumented individuals is often misunderstood, shared this with the Source from its website: “ICE enforcement functions do not need a judicial warrant. The ICE officer will utilize administrative removal warrants to carry out their duties. It is important to keep in mind that the underlying basis for a non-citizen’s removability may be due to some criminal violation, but the removal warrant used by ICE is not a criminal warrant signed by a federal judge.

The removal warrant used to process the non-citizen’s removal is signed by an ICE official based on a finding that the person is removable from the United States.”

Bernabe noted that when ICE arrived in Bend, fear quickly bubbled to the surface.

“My partner and I are both DACA recipients; we had a conversation before the protest that we might need to prepare for ICE to grab us, too,” she said. “It was a nightmare. It’s still a nightmare. I’m anxious, I’m paranoid.

I have to think, ‘What could happen to me today because of my skin color?’

This is our daily life. We don’t know if we’ll walk out onto the street and be taken by our government. It isn’t just the Latinx community, but the Black community, the white community; we are all living in this bubble of fear, anxiety and uncertainty. Trump brought division upon the U.S.; now it’s turned into an ‘us versus them’ kind of thing.

I started to believe that in my own head. After Trump said something negative about Mexicans I would go to a restaurant and look around to see who was staring at me. I started to believe that division was here in Bend—until I showed up on Wednesday. To see that the community showed up to support racial minorities was amazing.”

Both women encouraged locals to exercise their right to vote—a right they do not yet have.

“Having the local community stand up for these two individuals made a pretty good point,” said Wendi. “It’s important that community members keep this message in mind come November.”

Bernabe concluded, “I can’t vote; I would love to vote,” she said. “The elections of 2020 mark my future. The future of my community.”

Escrito por Nicole Vulcan; Traducido por/translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar estas alturas, los habitantes de la zona centro de Oregon, junto con muchas personas alrededor de los Estados Unidos, han escuchado la notable historia de cómo, el día miércoles, un pequeño grupo de activistas reunió una multit ud de cientos de personas para pararse enfrente de dos autobuses del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de los Estados Unidos restringiendo así la salida de los autobuses junto con los dos hombres de Bend que se encontraban dentro del autobús.

Los videos y eventos transmitidos en vivo por The Source están disponibles en nuestras publicaciones de Instagram @sourceweekly.

Lo que sabemos acerca de dónde pudo ICE haber obtenido información de los estados migratorios de estos hombres.

Oregon es un estado santuario. Conforme indica la ley, ORS 181A.820, “(1) Prohíbe a las agencias locales de policía del estado de Oregon o a cualquier subdivisión política usar el dinero, equipamiento o el personal de la agencia para detector o detener a alguien cuya única violación es que son personas de ciudadanía extranjera presentes en los Estados Unidos en violación a las leyes federales de inmigración. “(2) A pesar del apartado (1) de esta sección, una agencia de seguridad puede intercambiar información con el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de los Estados Unidos, con los servicios de Inmigración y Ciudadanía de los Estados Unidos y con la oficina de Aduanas y protección fronteriza de los Estados Unidos para: “(a) Verificar el estado migratorio de una persona de haber sido arrestada por algún delito, o “(b) Solicitar información sobre investigación criminal referente a las personas nombradas en los registros del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de los Estados Unidos, Servicios de Inmigración y Ciudadanía de los Estados Unidos o los servicios Aduanales y protección fronteriza de los Estados Unidos.”

En 2018, los habitantes de Oregon votaron en contra de la Medida 105 (Measure 105), una propuesta de ley que hubiera sido revocada por la ley del estado santuario de Oregon.

Bend PD Chief says city police did not violate state sanctuary law when allowing ICE officials in their cars

By Nicole Vulcan

A

t a press conference Aug. 13, at the scene of the Aug. 12 standoff between activists and U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, Bend City Councilor Barb Campbell told the crowd: “We absolutely will look into whether or not the Bend Police were aiding ICE agents,” during the Aug. 12 incident. Campbell mentioned “allegations that ICE agents were, for example, charging their phones in our police cars.”

We reviewed our own footage of the events of Aug. 12 and found video of an ICE official inside a Bend PD vehicle, alongside a Bend PD officer.

Oregon’s sanctuary law states that no law enforcement agency in the state can use agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending people thought to be in violation of federal immigration law. We asked Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz for comment, who responded: “After review of laws and policies I do not consider the charging of a phone or providing food and water, any sort of legal

violation or policy violation. The persons in custody were already in custody, and we did not assist in those custodies. There is nothing preventative, legally or in policy, that would prohibit us from allowing someone to charge a phone or sit in a car during a static situation that did not involve the “use of agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons who only violation of law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship present in the United States in violation of federal immigration law” (ORS 181A.820).

“This is the State law specific to immigration prohibition that we are held to, and our local policy reflects this. The two persons who were in custody had already been sought out and apprehended. Bend Police being on scene and allowing the use of a vehicle to sit in and to provide food or water to any federal employee and the persons that were being detained do not violate ORS or Bend’s policy.

“My goal is to ensure our police officers are able to provide basic human needs such as food and water, and to support

communication abilities for the federal agents so they could report to their supervisors that they were safe. Additionally, I do believe it was in everyone’s best interest to have those federal employees to be able to communicate to their supervisors the dynamics of the activities and report that the event was peaceful,” Krantz wrote in an email Aug. 17.

A representative from the Rural Organizing Project—a group dedicated to “advocating for democracy in rural Oregon,” according to its Facebook page, told the Source that it is working with its legal team to address the issue of ICE using Bend PD resources on Aug. 12.

“Oregon’s sanctuary law is intended to protect the people of Oregon from ICE’s unlawful actions,” Emma Ronai-Durning, organizer for the ROP, told the Source.

“There is no doubt that the Bend Police Department’s actions supported the needless separation of two Bend families, not to mention a tear gassed assault on peaceful protesters.”

The Source spoke with several people at the protest who had been pepper sprayed

by U.S. Border Patrol police who arrived on the scene late into the night. Another attendee, who asked to remain anonymous, also reported seeing clouds of what appeared to be tear gas billowing from the area where border patrol officers carried the two detainees after removing them from the ICE bus Wednesday night.

The Source has requested documentation of the interactions between Bend PD and officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security before and after the Aug. 12 incident. We are still awaiting those records.

Primer on Immigration Law

The Deschutes County District Attorney and a 26-year veteran of immigration law dissect ICE’s visit to Bend

9

By Laurel Brauns

Why did ICE choose to pick up these men?

According to county records obtained by the Source, Josue Arturo Cruz Sanchez pleaded guilty on Feb. 5, 2020, to criminal trespass in the first degree for an incident on Nov. 3, 2019, for entering another house in Bend, a Class A misdemeanor. He was placed on bench probation for one year and had to pay $100.

He has two convictions of assault in the fourth degree (misdemeanor/domestic violence) and one conviction of coercion. He has an upcoming trial in January where he is pleading not guilty to another domestic violence charge.

Marco Antonio Zeferino Rios pleaded guilty to a harassment charge and paid $520 to the County last year.

In Oregon, when a foreign-born person is booked into jail, county officials note their national origin, which is then submitted to the statewide Law Enforcement Data Systems. This database is accessible to law enforcement at the local, state and federal level.

How is immigration status determined?

Dan Larsson was the first immigration attorney on the scene Aug. 12. He explained that people who attempt to cross into the U.S. illegally often do so multiple times. Every time they are apprehended and processed by border patrol, their names, faces, fingerprints and other identifying information are collected.

This can then be easily matched up with state conviction records.

Whether Oregon law enforcement agencies report immigration statuses in their statewide database is an important question. Legally, they are not allowed to assist ICE in any way, though Oregon LEDS provides at least some evidence of immigration status.

Larsson speculated that in the era of Big Data, even without country-of-origin information directly connected to individuals, the federal government’s sophisticated immigration status databases may make it fairly easy to comb Oregon’s LEDS database, flag Latino

names and see if they pop up as undocumented in DHS databases.

What does sanctuary status mean?

It is illegal in Oregon for law enforcement agencies to arrest or detain a person with undocumented status just because they are here illegally. If they get caught driving without a license, for example (as Cruz Sanchez was once charged with, according to Central Oregon Daily), the person would be responsible for that offense only. They would also be entitled to due process. If ICE becomes aware of a person in Deschutes County Adult Jail who is undocumented and about to be released, the Sheriff’s Office cannot hold the person for a few extra days to give ICE time to pick them up.

But federal law supersedes Oregon state law, which means federal agents can come pick people up at any time.

“Anyone who is in the U.S. unlawfully is subject to removal regardless of whether they have committed a crime,” Hummel said. “[United States] Congress has essentially abdicated responsibility from making a functional immigration system. Because there are massive numbers of people who are now in the U.S. with undocumented status, the federal government realizes it can’t deport everyone, so they focus on people that have committed a criminal violation.”

Back on the ground at the protest Larsson, the Bend immigration lawyer, got to work Wednesday afternoon at the anti-ICE demonstration by getting in touch with all of his amicable ICE contacts, including one who was standing just a few yards from him when he called her.

“Everyone knew this was not going to end peacefully,” Larsson said. “I knew the protesters weren’t going to let the buses leave, and ICE was ordered not to let the men off the bus.”

Innovation Law Lab filed a complaint against DHS claiming that by denying the men access to an attorney before they left Oregon, it violated their constitutional rights. The attorneys also argued that because they were unable to speak to the men on the buses, they could not file a request for their release in Oregon, which would have allowed these attorneys to better represent them. Judge Karin Immergut told DHS’s attorney that the men must not be deported while their case is active, and set Sept. 3 as the date of their preliminary hearing.

As Larsson tried to broker a deal with the ICE agents on site, Hummel began working his way up the chain of

command, circling back with Mayor Sally Russell and Police Chief Mike Krantz on email chains and phone calls with U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials. Hummel said his primary concern was the safety of everyone.

“But [a peaceful resolution] wouldn’t fit the narrative of sending in the troops to stand up to this blue jurisdiction, to use a show of force to stand up to the ‘radical left,’” Hummel said.

“We got to the top of DHS,” Hummel said. “They told us all decisions regarding the federal troops arriving on the scene came from Washington.

It was either [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Chad Wolf, [U.S. Attorney General] William Barr or [President Donald] Trump.”

What’s next?

When the men do appear in court, both have the potential for immigration relief, according to Larsson— particularly Zeferino Rios, who has no criminal charges on his record. A number of

factors could affect the court’s decision on relief including: • whether they have lived in the U.S. continuously for 10 years or more • whether they have a spouse or children who are permanent residents • whether these family members will suffer hardship without the men’s incomes.

Larsson explained when ICE picked up the men on separate occasions on the morning of Aug. 12, the agents had an administrative warrant from ICE, not a federal judicial warrant. This means they could not legally take the men from their homes or work sites, which is likely why they approached them as they were driving to and from work.

“Most people don’t know that if ICE agents show up at your door, it is OK to ask them to slide their warrant under the door,” Larsson said. “If it’s not a judicial warrant, then you don’t have to go with them. But it’s like when you get pulled over by a cop; it’s scary and you get nervous and do what they say.”

n the aftermath of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement standoff with hundreds of Bend protesters on Aug. 12, the Source dug into the local, state and federal laws which led to the arrest and detainment of two Bend men.

Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said the detainment was not an anomaly. “Not only is it not unusual, it’s par for the course,” Hummel said. “Since Bend became a city, I would guess immigration has been here 1,000 times to come and take people away.”

COVID HAS A LOT OF US

STUCK AT HOME, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF

OUTDOOR PLACES TO CHECK OUT BEFORE

SUMMER IS GONE.

The Sky’s the Limit (er… well, maybe not) Star-master Grant Tandy shares some of his invaluable night sky insight

By Cayla Clark

G

rant Tandy, Worthy Brewing Hopservatory manager and NASA Solar System Ambassador, knows a thing or 5,000 about stargazing. While outdoor, nighttime excursions will not be viable for very much longer (how is it almost September?!), one of the most awe-inspiring staycations has to be finding a dark and peaceful place to take it all in.

“When it comes to stargazing, elevation and light pollution are key,” Tandy explained. “I recommend going up towards the Cascades Lakes or out towards Sunriver or Sisters. Sunriver is actually one of 130 internationally recognized Dark Sky Places, the classification was just passed three weeks ago.

The largest section of Dark Sky in the entire U.S. is in southeastern Oregon,

past the Badlands. There’s so much of that to explore.”

Tandy also suggested Sparks Lake, Pine Mountain Observatory and the Worthy Hopservatory itself. “Right now we’re doing public tours on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays,” he said. “We’re running two tours a night with five or fewer people. People will have the opportunity to look through a telescope at Saturn, Jupiter, star clusters, the moon… if people go stargazing on their own, I encourage them to bring a pair of binoculars. You really don’t need a huge telescope, with binoculars you can see a lot more than you would normally. Try to recognize regions within the milky way, look for star clusters, you’ll start noticing a lot of things people wouldn’t expect to be visible.”

Pack that Crap Up

As dispersed camping becomes a more attractive option for many in the era of coronavirus, some experienced campers remind people to do better

By Nicole Vulcan

I

n the era of COVID-19, along with a recommendation from the governor not to travel more than 50 miles from home, dispersed camping on public lands—typically allowed for up to 14 days on various federal lands—may be the ideal staycation for those determined not to interact with others. But as one recent dispersed camper reported, not everyone who’s heading to the Deschutes or Willamette National Forests, or to Bureau of Land Management lands, is experienced in their responsibilities when out there.

“It was horrible,” described Sam, a friend and frequent backcountry camper who preferred not to use his last name.

“There was human crap everywhere.

Near the water. Near the fire pits. It was like they’d never heard of a cathole before.” During a recent weekend near a lake in the Willamette National Forest, Sam said he and his family were hardpressed to find a dispersed spot that wasn’t inundated by human waste. He believes that the many people now turning to dispersed camping may not yet be educated about the potential hazards that come with leaving human waste unburied or not carried away.

Camping in non-developed areas comes with a few basic recommendations. At its most basic: Pack it in, pack it out—and that includes human waste.

As the BLM describes on its website, “If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.”

The general rule is to avoid leaving human waste within 200 feet of a waterway.

“Dispersed camping means no bathrooms and no outhouses. That means extra care has to be taken in disposing of human waste,” describes the Deschutes National Forest web page on dispersed camping. “To dispose of feces, dig a hole 6 inches deep and AT LEAST 200 FEET

AWAY FROM ANY WATER SOURCE (creeks, wetlands, springs, or lakes).”

Numerous studies have revealed that the virus is present in feces for as much as 30 days after a person tests negative—though according to an epidemiologist from Rice University, “more work is needed to determine if the virus can be spread through stool.” While the true risk is as yet unclear, it’s undoubtedly a gross thing to encounter while recreating in the woods.

So while that trip to your secret spot may be the getaway locals need in this time of unceasing restrictions, packing that crap out becomes even more important.

Meandering Along the Metolius

About an hour’s drive from Bend, the tiny town of Camp Sherman offers a break from the city, with the sounds of the river to lull you to sleep

By Laurel Brauns most are reservation only. Head into “town” and hang a left toward the end of SW Roberts Bridge that crosses the Metolius and onto SW Metolius River Road to find Camp Sherman Campground, Allingham Campground, Smiling River Campgrounds, Pine Rest Campground and Gorge Campgrounds. New reservations are released every month or so through the Deschutes National Forest.

The West Bank Metolius Trail is the best riverside hike in the area and can be reached by crossing back over the bridge and heading north to Lower Canyon Creek Campground. The trail begins at the confluence of Canyon Creek and the Metolius, just a few miles down from the headwaters. Download the directions before you leave Bend or Sisters as cell reception is spotty in this neck of the woods. The trail winds along the river for 7 scenic miles, eventually coming to an end at Candle Creek Campground.

The lush vegetation and aquamarine water feels worlds away from the high desert as the trail passes over moss covered logs, inviting meadows by the river’s edge and marshy spots that require some stone-hopping. Along the way, hikers can detour over to the Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery (mile 2.5) to check out

the breeding of rainbow trout, kokanee, spring chinook and summer steelhead.

The arduous 4-mile roundtrip hike straight up Black Butte is another nearby excursion for those looking for some elevation gain. The reward at the peak is a 360 degree view of Mount Jefferson, Adams and Hood along with Suttle Lake and the Metolius Basin.

Hola! is the most obvious (and sometimes only) choice for food and drink,

with pitchers of margaritas, salsa and chips that will disappear as soon as they land on the table.

The Quirky Short-Term Rentals of Bend

With travel not recommended more than 50 miles from home, a staycation could involve one of Bend’s most unique rental homes

By Kyle Switzer

S

ummer vacation canceled? Dreams of escaping to the Grottos of Italy dwindling? As COVID cases in Deschutes County rise, and the reality of an extravagant summertime vacation looks less and less likely, short-term rentals right in our own backyard could be a means of escape. We checked out some of the quirkier spots available.

The Book House Ever gone to the library just to take a nap? This rental is a match made in heaven for anyone who loves the warm ambiance of a public library or bookstore. Created by local artist Mark Bernahl and located near downtown Bend, this one-bedroom, one-bath rental surrounds the visitor with an infinity of books and knowledge. This quirky home, renting for $136 a night, also comes with a full kitchen and small living room surrounded by: you guessed it, more books!

“Historically, we’re booked solid in the summer. Our reservations are definitely reduced; frequently we have a day between

reservations,” said co-owner Stephanie Barss. Nowadays, the manager of the Book House spends the extra day disinfecting, cleaning, and even screening their upcoming guests to make sure no one is exposed to COVID within their home.

Dome Sweet Dome This futuristic dome, costing $154 a night, is the epitome of fantastic feng shui. The structure offers a fun dichotomy between a “cabin-in-the-woods” feel inside and a futuristic 2001: Space Odyssey-esque structure on the outside. Because the second floor “floats,” meaning it doesn’t touch the outside walls, sound ricochets throughout the dome. Nestled in the Deschutes National Forest, the two-bedroom, onebath dwelling is in close proximity to the Deschutes River and Phil’s Trail. A fireplace (with complimentary firewood) and hammock are available outside to watch the stars and enjoy Bend’s signature clean mountain air. Owner Denise Gorman said they had to close for two months initially due to COVID. However, after recently

Labeled “Dome Sweet Dome” this true-to-name geodesic dome features two bedrooms, three beds, a bathroom and even a full kitchen. The location is right off SW Century Drive with easy access to Phil's Trail.

opening back up, the Dome has been filling up quickly.

Yurt at Rainbow Ranch Dreams of living in Mongolia out of a yurt? Who needs international travel anyway? Continue the Mongolian tradition right here in Central Oregon. Located 10 minutes from Sisters and 20 minutes from Bend, the one bedroom one bath yurt, which rents for $101 a night, is the perfect getaway to social distance in style.

“Roughing it” soon becomes overrated as a hot shower, a pellet stove, and full kitchen are available. However, no need to sacrifice your camping experience: the view of the Cascades, with sound of frogs singing in the manmade pond, is complimentary. Owner Carrie Walker said she has been relatively busy this summer, but she loves the staycation visitors from Bend. “I get a lot of local staycation visitors in the winter. I absolutely love hosting local folks.”

amp Sherman often falls off the radar of many of Bend’s road warriors because it’s so close to home.

But in the spirit of following the Governor’s orders, which recommend not traveling more than 50 miles for recreation, this lush oasis by the Metolius River offers plenty of space to distance from other travelers while also providing a few nearby dining options. It also cuts way down on driving time, which means more time by the river and less on the road.

Step back in time by staying in the Lake Creek Lodge, established 1923.

Nostalgic photos line the walls of the main lodge, showing generations of families and friends who gathered for months at a time fishing, swimming and exploring the riverbanks on horseback. The lodge sits on a tributary of the Metolius River and has a few dozen rustic cabins for rent ($325-$530) connected by winding pathways and storybook footbridges crossing Lake Creek.

If the price tag is out of budget, gather a second family or a group of friends and split the cost; many cabins have three or four rooms and multiple bathrooms. Also, a half dozen campgrounds with riverfront views are just five minutes away, though

entral Oregon can expect two nights of classical music performed by some of the most talented musicians in the area this weekend. High Desert Chamber Music’s two-night showcase, Listen to the Music, features Spotlight Chamber Players and alums including John Fawcett, Mateo Garza and even HDCM’s executive director, Isabelle Singer. Special guests include solo pianist and composer Paula Dreyer and contemporary harpist Danielle Summerville.

Listen to the Music is part of the Tower Theatre’s All for One, One for All summer series, a program aiming to get local artists and musicians performing in front of the community under safe guidelines. As a hub for arts in downtown Bend, the Tower has succeeded in helping people reconnect—bringing entertainment back to the community over the last couple months.

“High Desert Chamber Music is thrilled to be returning to the Tower Theatre stage. We will be featuring members of our training programs, the Spotlight Chamber Players and bringing special alum back,” said HDCM Executive Director Singer.

The Spotlight Chamber Players program selects students in grades 6-12 and offers them instruction, training and access to trained professionals in chamber music at no cost to the students.

This program helps shape young musicians interested in pursuing the arts, and expands their knowledge around music theory and their playing skills.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the next generation of performing artists live, and witness the success and strength of this program.”

While students in the Spotlight program are from the area, harpist Danielle Summerville will make her debut, now as a local, after recently moving to Bend. Summerville started playing music at age six, and picked up the harp at age 20. Since then she’s played in the band for solo artist Mimi Zulu, opening for acts such as Macy Gray, Quantic and more. Attendees will really be in for a treat once they see Summerville’s talents on stage.

For pianist Paula Dreyer, these shows are even bigger than the everyday performance, since this weekend she’s also celebrating the release of her solo debut piano album, “Central Star.” The album comes following a Kickstarter campaign that reached its initial goal in just two weeks. Dreyer’s first single for the album, “Sounds of Stars,” was released at the end of April.

It’s an elegant piece of music that actually sounds like a pair of stars dancing in the night sky. I’m sure the rest of the album will follow in that same spirit.

Fun Farm Pole Needs a Home

The creator of The Fun Farm north of Bend passed away last year. Now, close friends are looking for a home for one of his iconic pieces of art

By Cayla Clark Michael Bailey

organization dedicated to bringing permanent art installations to public places throughout the City of Bend.

“I would admittedly like to see this creation of his installed in a roundabout in his memory,” said Bailey. “But it’s not only because he was a good friend. I would like to see him and his crazy dream remembered and honored in this way because of his contribution to Central Oregon by way of LGBTQ+ inclusion. Gene was an openly gay man; a publicly gay man, long before being gay was accepted. He was incredibly brave in my opinion. I’m 58 and have lived here since 1976. The attitude toward LGBTQ+ inclusion here may still have a long way to go, but it’s difficult to communicate just how far this place has come in the last 40 or so years. Gene had something to do with that, and I hope his contributions will be remembered.”

Marcele Trujillo, project coordinator for AiPP, explained that the guidelines put in place by the organization didn’t quite match up with Bailey’s request.

“Artists apply by a deadline, and the AiPP Committee reviews each entry by looking at their complete body or work, level of artistic excellence, experience working in large-scale sculptures, interactivity, innovative qualities, originality, durability of materials, the artist’s inspiration for the specific location, project budget, resume, photographs and the ability to enhance a particular natural landscape or enliven a specific public space,” she explained.

“The artist must complete stamped engineering drawings and receive a building permit before they can start fabrication.

G

ene Carsey, Jr. was loved by many.

This became exceedingly apparent while talking to his close and longtime friend, Michael Bailey. As Bailey looked back on time spent with nothing but palpable admiration, one thing became clear: honoring his memory had become a common, communal goal among those who knew him.

Carsey, the eccentric artist behind The Fun Farm—also known as The Funny Farm, a roadside attraction about 5 miles north of Bend, spent years of his life turning his small piece of personal paradise into a whacky, whimsical safe haven for those seeking an escape from the blandness of day-to-day life. Bailey described the farm as nothing short of magical.

“He had a bowling ball tree and a bowling ball garden,” he explained. “The Wizard of Oz was playing on a loop on a tiny television inside of a doll house. There was a giant mural on the roof of the barn that could only be seen from above.”

When Carsey passed away last year, he left The Fun Farm to 18 of his closest friends, including Bailey. For the past several months, Bailey has been trying to find a home for one particular piece of art, a 25- to 30-foot vertical sculpture known as “Gene’s Pole.”

“There’s a unique piece of art that has stood sentinel over the parking lot at the farm for many years,” explained Bailey. “I finally got approval from the executor of Gene’s estate for the donation of the piece, if I can find it a home.”

Bailey explained that he had reached out to Art in Public Places, a nonprofit

19

Friends of The Fun Farm hope to find a forever home for "Gene's Pole."

The start-to-finish process typically takes one to one-and-a-half years.”

Thus, the search for a home for “Gene’s Pole” continues.

“Gene was all about inclusivity.

His place became a place for anybody

and everybody to enjoy,” concluded Bailey. “This piece deserves a home.

It would be such a great memorial for Gene. He was always working towards the place that we’ve finally come to now.”

Heirloom Addiction

Room temperature and raw is the way to go

By Cayla Clark

10 Barrel Brewing Co.

By Ari LeVaux

T

Jamie Drysdale, Blue Coyote Farm

21

Virtual sour beer tasting featuring 10 Barrel's Cucumber Sour Crush.

These seasonal flavor bombs come in all sizes and colors.

we call white balsamic, I prefer it to the red. It’s just as aromatic but less dominant. And, call me crazy, but I prefer tucking the basil between the tomato and the cheese. On top of the tomato, that basil leaf deflects the oil, salt and vinegar. And in so doing, it blocks the proper flavor from developing.

After weeks of studying, preparing, consuming and obsessing about caprese, my garden was depleted, and I went to the farmers market to buy more ingredients. While gathering bunches of basil from a vendor I barely knew named Jamie, I heard him mention that I looked like a man with caprese on his mind.

As Jamie was so tuned in to the caprese wavelength, I asked how he serves it at home.

He mixes purple and green basil on alternate pieces of caprese, along with different colored tomatoes. It makes a more colorful plate, he says. He’s also a stickler for balsamic reduction, rather than the straight vinegar. He likes the syrupy consistency of balsamic reduction, how it sticks to the cheese and tomatoes and doesn’t so easily run off.

To make your own balsamic reduction, simply heat a quantity of red or white balsamic in a heavy bottomed saucepan until it’s reduced by at least Jamie Drysdale, Blue Coyote Farm

half. Some recipes call for sweetening the reduction, but I find it sweet enough.

But if there is a bit of minced garlic, or thin-sliced onion, or even a caper or two, I won’t complain. Sometimes I’ll place a peach atop Mt. Caprese.

It’s usually served as some kind of towering pile, but you can also chop the basil, mozzarella and tomato into utensil-sized bits and sprinkle with salt, olive oil and some kind of balsamic — red or white, vinegar or reduced.

Fresh mozzarella is about as cheap as fresh heirloom tomatoes. Unless you have a cow, a cheese shop or a trust fund, your caprese consumption might be limited only by your budget. But if ever there was a time to lighten up, take it easy, and fill your belly with caprese, this is it.

But if you don’t have a mozzarella budget, or if you’re a vegetarian, or even if you’re just someone who needs a new way to express your heirloom addiction, here is a salad called Heirloom Tomato Juice. So juicy it’s drunk as much as it’s eaten, the salad is as refreshing as a bowl of gazpacho, and requires only a fraction of the prep time.

Heirloom Tomato Juice (Serves 4) 2 English cucumbers, sliced into 1/2inch rounds 1/4 of a large sweet onion, thin sliced to 1/8-inch or less 3 cups chopped heirloom tomatoes 1/2 cups olive oil 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon salt Add the cucumbers to a bowl, along with 2 teaspoons of salt and the onions, tearing the slices apart into individual crescents. Toss. Add the tomatoes, oil and balsamic, and toss again. Taste, add the remainder of the salt if needed.

The ease of caprese is a sublime, summertime treat.

Wait about 20 minutes for the juices to get flowing. It happens so fast, you can see it with the naked eye. Serve in bowls.

When the chunks are done, sip the juice from the bowls.

Three booze-related events to get you through the hot, hot week Pucker Up

10 Barrel Brewing Co. will make an appearance at a virtual tasting of sour beers on, Thursday, Aug. 20 at 5pm.

During the tasting, certified brew experts Mick O’Halloran and Rob Jeffrey will walk participants through a flight of five pucker-worthy beers (which participants will need to pick up beforehand), including 10 Barrel’s Cucumber Sour Crush. Aficionados will have the opportunity to ask questions live during the virtual tasting, and tickets are only $10. Not bad for a lifetime of extensive sour knowledge to show off during socially distanced backyard BBQs. Tickets available at: budweisertours.com/

Charcuterie, Wine and Jazz

On Sunday, Aug. 23 from 1-4pm, wine and jazz lovers alike can catch a complimentary performance by Lisa Day and Friends on the Maragas Winery lawn.

Maragas will offer a cheese plate, a Mediterranean appetizer plate, wine, beer and soft drinks for purchase. Groups of 10 or fewer will be permitted and masks will be required indoors (but not on the lawn with safe social distancing in place). There are few things as sophisticated to do on a Sunday than sip on a regional bottle of vino, nibble on brie and take in the smooth sounds of talented local musicians. Note: This is event is ongoing – if you can’t make it this Sunday, stop by the next!

WineFest 2020

On Saturday, Aug. 22 from 4-9pm, vineyards from across the west coast will gather at General Duffy’s Waterhole in Redmond for the WineFest we’ve all been praying for. Tickets are $30 and will get you a wine glass, a single drink token and a carrying bag for all of your swag. Jam out to live music

by The High Street Band as you swirl and sip, and grab some grub from the food carts if you start jamming out a little too hard (wink wink).

Tickets available at: generalduffys.com

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 27 / AUGUST 20, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

he brief, glorious moment when tomatoes are everywhere marks the culinary apex of summer. This drawn-out, tomato-ey solstice is especially fleeting for heirloom tomatoes, the high-maintenance wing of the tomato clan. Too watery and delicate to preserve, heirlooms can only be enjoyed raw. Which means they must be enjoyed now.

Heirlooms have shorter shelf lives than “normal” hybrid tomatoes, and they are harder to grow and less productive, making them more expensive.

The heirlooms at my farmers market are worth every penny. I’ve been a big spender all summer, and finally my own patch is starting to ripen.

I’ve got Ox Heart, Black Krim, Brandywine, Thirsty Girl, White Peach, Striped German and others. These aren’t the lipstick-red, perfectly round, normal-looking slicers that you’d put on a sandwich, or the dense, dry paste tomatoes that in a few weeks I’ll simmer into large batches of sauce. Heirlooms come in as many shapes as clouds, as many colors as the rainbow, with mildly tangy flavors and sweet, earthy aromas.

I keep my heirlooms closer than my friends and enemies, organized like perishable jewels, usually on a large plate but not in a pile, keeping track of which ones are soft. I don’t refrigerate or cook my heirlooms. They are for room-temperature enjoyment only.

I can’t think of any more delicious way to enjoy a summer heirloom — and summer itself — than a plate of caprese, the Italian salad that pairs a slice of tomato with a slice of mozzarella and a leaf or two of basil. These accompaniments flatter the heirloom, as lime and salt complete a shot of tequila, and are just as intoxicating. Beyond this three-ingredient caprese quorum, most renditions will include salt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, either red or white — white balsamic is made from white grapes and lately, because of trademark issues, goes

Change Will Do Us Good SCREEN AMovies that shape the world

By Jared Rasic

“A Girl in the River” Honor killings are when a member of a family is murdered by other family members based on the belief that the victim has somehow brought shame or dishonor to the community. An estimated 5,000 women are killed every year due to this archaic and disgraceful practice. In 2015,

Jeff Dailey.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy made “A Girl in the River,” a documentary about a 19-year-old girl from Pakistan who was almost murdered by her father and how, after screening the film, the Pakistani Prime Minister helped pass the Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Act. There’s still much work to be done, but it’s a step in the right direction.

“The Thin Blue Line” In 1988, Errol Morris directed this profoundly impactful documentary about the Randall Dale Adams case, a man who was falsely accused of murdering a police officer. Over the film’s run time, it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Adams was innocent, which led to his retrial and eventual acquittal.

This movie literally saved a life.

“Rosetta” The Dardenne brothers won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival for their heartbreaking Belgian-French masterpiece, “Rosetta.” Aside from that impressive piece of business, what the film really did was prompt Belgian lawmakers to pass youth labor reforms at a time when they were being exploited for pennies on the dollar. The law already existed, but was voted through after the release of the film.

“West of Memphis”/ “Paradise Lost 1-3” Three teenagers were arrested for the brutal murder of three eightyear-olds in 1993 in the Robin Hood Hills of West Memphis, Arkansas. The detectives and community all felt the

t was 1902 when “Le Voyage dans la Lune” (“A Trip to the Moon”) by Georges Méliès was released, changing cinema and the way humans relate to the world forever. Sure, it’s widely considered to be one of the earliest examples of the science fiction genre in film and changed the way narratives were told in movies, but that’s still under-valuing what it did in the long run: It changed the world.

“A Trip to the Moon” rewired how we tell stories and how our brains react and process the stories that we’re told.

I think culturally, it’s easier for people to accept that, artistically, a book or a song or a painting can effect change than it is believing a movie contains the same inherent power and importance. Many people still view film as a disposable art form, when in reality it’s most movies that are disposable, not the medium itself.

The ‘Rona has basically shut down most of the film production, which is safe and smart, but also heartbreaking because, in this moment, we could use the kind of mass exploration of our hearts and minds that cinema is so uniquely suited to mining. Movies can and do change the world. Don’t believe me? Here are a few examples.

Damien Echols on death row in the documentary, “West of Memphis.”

murders were part of a Satanic ritual, which led them to Damien Echols (an XCELLENCE IN C ANINE N UTRITION avid Ereader of Anton LaVey and Stephen King) and his two friends Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin: also known as The West Memphis Three.

“Paradise Lost,” released in 1996, goes a long way toward creating reasonable doubt for the WM3, while its two sequels put forth an astoundE XCELLENCE IN C ANINE N UTRITION ing argument for who the guilty party might be. Director Peter Jackson contributed greatly to the WM3’s defense fund and produced “West of Memphis,” a doc which aggregates all of the information in the “Paradise Lost” filmsE XCELLENCE and ends with their release in IN C ANINE N UTRITION 2011, after spending 18 years in prison. The sick twist? No one has been arrested for the murder of the three

little boys and no one ever will be, because many of the town’s officials, including prosecutor Scott Ellington and judge David Burnett, still think the WM3 are guilty.

There are so many more examples than the ones I provided. From the changes to the hunting industry after “Bambi,” to women and minorities seeing themselves represented in films such as “Black Panther” and “Wonder Woman,” culture and society in general can and will shift when film is treated with importance instead of like a cynical commodity.

Hopefully, when theaters reopen next week and movies start getting released again, they can help all of us continue to grow.

The New Ambassador

A new Eurasian eagle-owl is turning heads at the Sunriver Nature Center

By Jim Anderson Courtesy Sunriver Nature Center

She’s big and bold! The new Sunriver Nature Center’s ambassador, a female Eurasian Eagle-owl.

face and in my eyes, and I was having trouble focusing. At that moment, Park appeared, breaking off limbs and getting close enough to help me to my feet.

As we stood there looking at each other, he started to grin, and then broke out in a joyous guffawing, muttering between breaths, “They did the same thing to me…”

On our way to the doctor in Bend he told me what happened as I got to that point of no return on the tree. He said the show the female put on was to keep me focused on her, and when I reached the point of no return, it was the signal for the male —hiding close by — to attack.

As a result, part of my right ear had to be sewed back on.

The eagle-owl is known as the largest owl in the world, with a wingspan of up to 6 feet and weighing 9 to 10 pounds—the size and weight of our native Golden Eagle.

When we went back looking for my camera, we finally found it about 20 feet from where I had come to stop, busted wide open with the roll of film lying beside it, and Ed said, “Damn, Jim, I forgot to pay her for the pictures I took, and I guess they’re both still mad at me…”

Now — at last — we come to the eagle-owl. While I was healing, and Park began to look for other owls to photograph, a birder and his wife from Great Britain came into our lives; one Alan Baldridge and dear wife, Sheila. They wanted to place the Great

Horned Owl of North America on their Bird Life List.

That would have been all well and good, except for the continual tales Alan dumped on us of his experiences with the fabulous, nothing-in-the-world-likeit, amazing giant of Europe, the Eurasian Eagle-owl. He went on continually from one story to the next regarding that best owl of the birding world, albeit its incredible ability for gobbling up everything from black bears to crocodiles.

As Park and I sat listening to story after story, it finally got to be too much.

Park said, “Let's show him the Shumway nest,” and grinned.

As we drove to the site, Ed and I told Alan glorious tales of the talents and abilities of our native master of destruction and death, the Great Horned Owl. Park and I watched Alan climb up on the juniper trunk and slowly walk toward the nest, camera to the ready.

The female was already on her feet, swaying side-to-side, hooting, barking and hissing. We knew what was coming, but poor Alan didn’t. Then it happened.

Like a feathered rocket, the male left his hidden perch in a small juniper nearby, and with unerring aim, slammed into the right side of the poor guy’s head, just like he did mine.

“Kerblam!” and away went Alan, toppling into about the same bunch of limbs I did.

As Park and I stood there laughing our silly heads off, Sheila, protective of her dear husband, shouted, “You bloody Yanks are a couple of savages! That’s me old man you almost killed!”

To make up for that indignity, I took Alan and Sheila to Fort Rock and got them to camp overnight at the edge of a beautiful Greater sage-grouse lek so they could put that beautiful bird on their Life Lists.

Now, we’re back to the Eurasian Eagle-owl joining Sunriver Nature Center’s collection of ambassador birds, that includes a Golden Eagle, Swainson’s Hawk, and Great Horned Owl. The Eagle-owl is known as the largest owl in the world, with a wingspan of up to 6 feet and weighing 9 to 10 pounds—the size and weight of our native Golden Eagle.

“We are excited for the many new opportunities that the Eagle-owl will create for students, families, and our visitors to connect with nature in an up-close and personal way,” said Abby Rowland, executive director. “As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenges for our organization, the Eagle-owl is a welcome addition to our collection and reaffirms our mission to inspire others to understand and cherish the natural world.”

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 27 / AUGUST 20, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

here is no larger owl on the European continent than the Eurasian Eagleowl, Bubo bubo. You have to travel several thousand miles to see one in the wild. In appearance, it looks like our native Great Horned Owl on steroids.

But now, you can drive to Sunriver Nature Center and ask to see its new ambassador: a young, just-about-to-fly, Eurasian eagle-owl.

In all the owls I’ve enjoyed out in the wild, I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting the Eurasian eagle-owl. I’ve never been to Europe, so that leaves me with the largest owl on my Bird Life List being our native Great Horned Owl. But I got know what the eagle-owl was all about back in the early ‘50s, not too long after I arrived in Oregon from Connecticut, riding my faithful 1947 Harley ’74. However, in order to talk about that first eagle-owl experience, I have to begin at the beginning, so please stay with me…

One spring day in ’52, after moving in with Dean and Lilly Hollinshead on their Timberlane Ranch in the old Jones House on George A. Jones Road in Bend, Ed Park walked into my life, with whom I enjoyed doing things in Nature, right up until he went out among the stars.

Park was a good pal of the Shumways, sheep ranchers out in the Alfalfa neck-of-the-woods. That connection led him to discovering a Great Horned Owl nesting in the debris of an old hawk’s nest, located in the top of a juniper that had toppled over.

Park, a writer for huntin’ and fishin’ magazines, loved to share things he found while searching for nature subjects. Upon our arrival at the ranch, he explained that all I had to do was climb up the roots of the juniper, get my camera ready and just walk up to the owl’s nest.

So that’s what I did, or started to…

The moment I appeared on the trunk, momma owl lifted off her eggs and began hooting at me. Then she went to hissing and barking, glaring as she stood taller and taller on the nest until she looked like she was on tip-toes.

I was shooting pictures all the way to the nest and was about 6 feet from the blaring bird, trying to focus on her beautiful, angry eyes, when suddenly something struck the right side of my head.

It felt like a rock armed with teeth. The pain was excruciating on the side of my head as I was falling sideways into the dead limbs of the juniper.

The ends of stout limbs tore into my clothing, ripping holes in the cloth and my skin beneath. By the time I felt the hard surface of the rocky soil on my poor back I was in bad shape.

My arms hurt, my head hurt, there was blood — my blood — all over my

Capitalization Rates Explained

How this formula translates for real estate investors income. For this example, we will use $30,000 as operating expenses and a purchase price of $1,000,000. After deducting the operating expenses from the gross rental income, the net is $70,000 and divided by the purchase price the rate of return is 7%. Essentially, the property owner in this example can expect a 7% return on their initial investment.

It is important to note, when considering cap rates, that the variance in expenses, income-generation potential and market value can significantly change the cap rate over the life of the investment.

Some of the factors that attribute to the variance and that should also be considered when analyzing the long-term potential rate of return are: increasing property taxes, age of the building and required maintenance, tenant vacancy rates, rent rate fluctuation, lease structures and property type (commercial, residential, industrial) and overall market value.

The rate of return is also useful to determine the duration of time it will take to recover the amount invested in the property. For example, a property with a 10% cap rate will take approximately 10 years to recover the investment.

Cap rates serve as a quick guide for an investor to determine the rate of return and time to recover the initial investment. Cap rates can vary from market to market and within the different property investment types. It is important to speak with local real estate professionals who are well versed in specific property/ market types to discuss typical cap rates for that area of investment. I also highly encourage potential investors to seek out real estate professionals who have a solid understanding of real estate investment calculations and rates of return.

ver wonder how real estate investors determine what properties they are going to buy and how they determine if the property is a “good” investment? Contrary to owner-occupied real estate investments, which are generally purchased to suit the comfort, style and size of the purchaser’s desires, real estate investment property purchases are primarily based on performance.

A performing property, in terms of application to real estate, is a property that ultimately creates cash flow, increased equity over time and overall growth of one’s real estate holdings/ investment portfolio. This generally applies to commercial and industrial real estate, as well as, residential income-producing properties (i.e. long-term rentals and short-term rentals/vacation rentals). One of the most common and popular measures of a property’s potential performance rate is the capitalization rate. The “cap rate” indicates the rate of return an investor can expect to be generated on the real estate investment.

This rate of return is calculated by dividing the net operating income by the real estate investment by the current market value or purchase price. This rate is expressed in a percentage of the initial investment or current market value.

When calculating to find the cap rate on a potential real estate investment, one needs to assess the net operating income.

This is determined by deducting property expenses from the gross income. For example, a property produces $100,000 in gross rental income. Once expenses, such as property taxes, maintenance, vacancy rates, insurance and in some cases management fees, utilities and reserves are deducted, that leaves the net operating

I’m a woman who just turned 30, and so is my best friend, who just got out of a three-year relationship. She’s now on the rebound hard -- hitting on her co-workers, going on multiple dates every week, hooking up with different guys all the time, etc. I can’t decide whether to admire her confidence or be concerned that she needs constant attention and validation from men. Do you think this is healthy behavior? Should I tell her that she needs to stop acting out and work on healing from her relationship in healthy ways?

—Worried Friend Nothing like women celebrating other women: “Yay, you, getting in regular workouts doing the walk of shame!”

I get that you mean to help. Uh, help your friend, that is. However, it appears we women evolved to help ourselves by “helping” other women, or as I like to call it, “benevolent meangirling.” This plays out, for example, in telling a hot friend in a fabulous little dress, “I have to be honest, that makes you look a bit trampy,” and engaging in other acts of humanitarian frankness to help keep her from giving men whiplash and jamming up her evenings with lots of dates.

These acts of female frenemyship are often subconsciously motivated, which is why we can tell ourselves we just want the best for our friends while in fact serving our own evolutionary best interests.

Hidden treachery is actually a primary feature of “female intrasexual competition” (women competing with women).

Women are mistakenly seen as the sweeter, kinder sex. You hear people sigh, “If only we had women in charge,” as if this would lead to world peace, universal basic income, and cats that paw-dial 911 when their owner dies instead of eating their face. But this view of women as the better half of humanity is psychologically naive. Women aren’t less aggressive; they’re just differently aggressive.

Aggression gets a bad name because it gives rise to uncomfortable emotions such as fear and, sometimes, to unexpected workplace activities, such as murder-suicide. However, aggression is actually a vital evolved motivation for getting our needs met so we can survive, mate, and leave surviving children to pass on our genes.

Research on sex differences in male and female aggression by psychologists Anne Campbell, Joyce Benenson, and others suggests that while male aggression is direct, manifesting in, say, yelled threats, a punch in the nose, or a barstool

upside the head, female aggression tends to be indirect and thus hidden.

Though there are women who get physically violent with each other, Benenson explains that this happens rarely, and usually just in certain contexts (like impoverished neighborhoods). Generally, women fight other women with poisonous veiled aggression such as mean gossip, ostracism, shaming, and sneaky sabotage dressed up as concern for other women’s welfare. Campbell contends that covert female aggression likely evolved out of women’s need to avoid physical confrontation, which could kill them or damage their reproductive parts, leaving them Amy Alkon unable to fulfill their role as an infant’s primary caregiver.

Depressing as all this twisted sisterhood stuff surely seems, an inclination to behave a certain way isn’t a mandate.

So, if you’d prefer to be the sort of woman who acts in her friend’s best interests, you can be. However, the reality is we often think we know what’s best for somebody else, especially when we believe they’re harming themselves. In fact, a person sometimes needs to go a bit wrong to get right again.

When (and if) what they’re doing ultimately proves unsatisfying, they’ll stop. Telling them to stop can actually be counterproductive, even if you feel sure you have their best interests at heart. Research by psychologist Jack Brehm finds that telling people what they should do seems to make them rebel and do exactly the opposite, like by continuing to do whatever they’d been doing, but louder and harder.

A more effective technique -- one that’s proved successful in addiction treatment -- is “motivational interviewing.” It starts with asking a person what they value deeply and ultimately want (romantically, in this case). After they reflect on that and answer, ask them how whatever they’re currently doing, whatever behavior they’re engaging in, aligns with their values and goals.

This technique might not get you immediate answers (or any answers), but you might inspire your friend to reflect on behavior she might be engaging in somewhat automatically. And how nice if you’re doing this through some insight of your own -for example, on sisterhood ideals like, “There’s a special place in hell for women who do not create space for other women,” and how this can play out

in reality: “I want to get your shoes in the shot, doll. Just take two more steps back” (right into that open manhole).

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Your desires, whether or not you achieve them, will determine who you become,” wrote author Octavia E. Butler.

Now is a fertile time for you to meditate on that truth. So I dare you to take an inventory of all your major desires, from the noblest to the most trivial. Be honest. If one of your burning yearnings is to have 100,000 followers on Instagram or to eat chocolate-covered bacon that is served to you in bed, admit it. After you’re through tallying up the wonders you want most, the next step is to decide if they are essential to you becoming the person you truly want to be. If some aren’t, consider replacing them with desires that will be a better influence on you as you evolve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you can manage it, I recommend taking a break from business-as-usual. I’d love to see you give yourself the gift of amusement and play—a luxurious sabbatical that will help you feel free of every burden, excused from every duty, and exempt from every fixation. The spirit I hope you will embody is captured well in this passage from author Okakura Kakuzo: “Let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rapper Eminem advises us, “Never take ecstasy, beer, Bacardi, weed, Pepto-Bismol, Vivarin, Tums, Tagamet HB, Xanax, and Valium in the same day.” What’s his rationale? That quaffing this toxic mix might kill us or make us psychotic? No. He says you shouldn’t do that because “It makes it difficult to sleep at night.”

I’m going to suggest that you abide by his counsel for yet another reason: According to my analysis, you have the potential to experience some wondrous and abundant natural highs in the coming weeks. Your capacity for beautiful perceptions, exhilarating thoughts, and breakthrough epiphanies will be at a peak. But none of that is likely to happen if you’re loaded up with inebriants.

what is enough until we know what’s more than enough,” said Aries singer Billie Holiday. I don’t think that applies to everyone, although it’s more likely to be true about the Aries tribe than maybe any other sign of the zodiac.

And I’m guessing that the coming weeks could be a time when you will indeed be vivid proof of its validity. That’s why I’m issuing a “Too Much of a Good Thing” alert for you.

But please don’t go waaayyyy too far and get waaayyyy too much of the good things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) took many years to write The Human Comedy, an amalgam of 91 intertwined novels, stories, and essays. For this vast enterprise, he dreamed up the personalities of more than 2,000 characters, many of whom appeared in multiple volumes. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I believe that the next 15 months will be an excellent time for you to imagine and carry out a Balzac-like project of your own. Do you have an inkling of what that might be? Now’s a good time to start ruminating.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Not until the 19th century did humans begin to take organized actions to protect animals from cruelty. Even those were sparse. The latter part of the 20th century brought more concerted efforts to promote animal welfare, but the rise of factory farms, toxic slaughterhouses, zoos, circuses, and cosmetic testing has shunted us into a Dark Age of animal abuse. I suspect our descendants will look back with horror at our barbarism. This problem incurs psychological wounds in us all in ways that aren’t totally conscious. And I think this is an especially key issue for you right now. I beg you, for your own sake as well as for the animals’, to upgrade your practical love and compassion for animals. I bet you’ll find it inspires you to treat your own body with more reverence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian literary critic Harold Bloom bragged to The New York Times that his speed-reading skills were so advanced that he could finish a 500-page book in an hour. While I believe he has indeed devoured thousand of books, I also wonder if he lied about his quickness. Nonetheless, I’ll offer him up as an inspirational role model for you in the coming weeks. Why? Because you’re likely to be able to absorb and integrate far more new information and fresh experiences than usual— and at a rapid pace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I transformed stillnesses and darknesses into words,” wrote Libran poet Arthur Rimbaud.

“What was unspeakable, I named. I made the whirling world pause.” In accordance with current astrological potentials, I have turned his thoughts into a message for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will translate silences and mysteries into clear language. What is unfathomable and inaccessible, you will convert into understandings and revelations. Gently, without force or violence, you will help heal the inarticulate agitation around you with the power of your smooth, resonant tenderness.

has ever built a new heaven first found the power to do so in his own hell,” declared philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. That’s a rather histrionic statement!

But then Nietzsche was a Maestro of Melodrama.

He was inclined to portray human life as a heroic struggle for boldness and liberation. He imagined us as being engaged in an epic quest to express our highest nature. In accordance with your astrological potentials, I propose that you regard Nietzsche as your power creature during the coming weeks.

You have a mandate to adopt his lion-hearted perspective. And yes, you also have a poetic license to build a new heaven based on the lessons you learned and the power you gained in your own hell.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Joy is a mystery because it can happen anywhere, anytime, even under the most unpromising circumstances,” writes author Frederick Buechner. What he doesn’t say is that you must be receptive and open to the possibility of joy arriving anywhere and anytime. If you’re shut down to its surprising influx, if you’re convinced that joy is out of reach, it won’t break through the barriers you’ve put up; it won’t be able to land in your midst. I think this is especially important counsel for you in the coming weeks, Virgo. PLEASE make yourself available for joy. P.S. Here’s another clue from Buechner: “Joy is where the whole being is pointed in one direction.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Magic lies in challenging what seems impossible,” says Leo politician Carol Moseley Braun. I agree with her, but will also suggest there’s an even higher magic: when you devise a detailed plan for achieving success by challenging the impossible, and then actually carry out that plan. Judging from the current astrological omens, I suspect you’re in an unusually favorable position to do just that in the coming weeks. Be bold in rising to the challenge; be practical and strategic in winning the challenge.

State Land Use Board Rules in Favor of Two New Marijuana Operations

LUBA says Deschutes County Board of Commissioners’ loose definition of Youth Activity Center doesn’t fly

n November, voters in Deschutes County will decide whether to continue to allow new marijuana farms to open up in the county. Meanwhile, two hopeful Deschutes County marijuana farms have received word from the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals that they can move forward in building their operations.

The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners initially denied two separate applications, including ones

by Tommy Nehmzow and Waveseer of Oregon, both which wanted to build indoor marijuana production facilities on exclusive farm use land in rural Deschutes County. After the initial applications for both farms got the OK from county staff, the Board of Commissioners denied each application, stating that in both cases, the farms would be located adjacent to a “Youth Activity Center,” a term mentioned, but not defined in Deschutes County marijuana regulations at the time.

In the Waveseer case, the land in question was adjacent to Rhinestone Ranch, an equine facility where 4-H activities took place. In the Nehmzow case, the land is adjacent to Sundance Meadows, a “recreational community” that includes temporary residences and a number of recreational amenities.

The problem, LUBA later ruled, was that Deschutes County didn’t have a codified definition of what constituted a Youth Activity Center. Following a remand from LUBA in the Waveseer case, which stated that the County should define what a YAC entails, the

County appealed, stating it had since named 10 criteria by which a YAC could be defined.

On Aug. 10., LUBA issued final opinions and orders in both cases, saying, among other arguments in favor of the prospective farmers, that because the County did not have the YAC definitions in place before the applicants submitted their applications, the applicants could not be expected to know what might have prevented from using that EFU land for marijuana production. In other words, county commissioners attempted to impose rules on the prospective farms after the prospective farmers submitted their applications.

“We conclude that the ‘youth activity center’ criterion cannot be applied because it violates the codification requirement,” wrote LUBA in its order in the Waveseer case. Similarly, in the Nehmzow case, LUBA wrote, “The board of county commissioners expressly adopted those findings of compliance and conditions in the staff report, except that the board denied the application based solely on its application of the youth activity center separation distance requirement,” adding, “We conclude that the board erred in applying that criterion. Accordingly, there is no basis for the county to deny the application.”

The LUBA decisions mark a yearslong fight for the two farm applicants, who now, under LUBA’s ruling, could see their applications approved by Deschutes County. The County can still appeal.
