EDITOR’S NOTE:

If there’s one thing readers want from journalism these days, it’s more transparency—an opening of the hood, if you will, on what we do and why we do it. In that spirit, look for a note from Editor Nicole Vulcan at the start of each issue, from here on out.

For me, Sept. 11 holds double significance. One is the 2001 attacks.

The other happened 10 years before, in 1991, when, as a freshman at Stevens High School in Rapid City, South Dakota, my science class was interrupted by gunfire down the hall. A student had smuggled a sawed-off shotgun into school, then held up his classmates and shot up the room. It was the first incident of this kind that any of us had ever heard of. That incident ended without deaths or injuries, but that’s far from the case these days.

In this week’s Back to School issue, we’re diving into a host of issues of import to parents, teachers and students in Central Oregon—including, on our Opinion page, our own responsibilities when it comes to school shootings and reporting what we see or hear. When we look back on our coverage in another 20 years, we hope we find this crisis resolved, and to once again see schools as “merely” places of refuge, inspiration and learning.

OPINION

In a society rife with school shootings, communication is key

T

his school year, amid the lunch boxes and pencils and notebooks, a new school-related item is entering the scene: bulletproof backpacks. Yes, you read that right—and if you’ve already seen them, then you’ve likely already contemplated the gravity and absurdity of this being an item marketed to parents and kids. This, indeed, is where our society is at this point in time.

Backpacks, not universal background checks, remain something tangible that parents can turn to when trying to protect their kids from what remains a very real threat to every student who enters a school in the United States in 2019. Go ahead and breathe that great big sigh.

If the topic of school shootings has you worried about the dawn of yet another school year—if it has you feeling hopeless about your ability to change things—you’re not alone. This is a topic of great frustration and fear. Supporting a move toward universal background checks—and even mandates on locking up guns in a home—are things we support—but those are larger, societal issues in which each of us individuals can only play a small part.

Yet research from the Secret Service shows there’s yet another thing individuals can do that may also help.

This summer, several staff members from Bend-La Pine Schools attended a training focused on school safety, which included a review of a report from the U.S. Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center.

The report included results of research into school violence, stating: “in a majority of incidents (81%), another person was aware of what the student was thinking or planning.”

With that in mind, it should be clear to everyone that empowering people to report what they’re hearing to the appropriate channels is vital.

Bend-La Pine Schools has, over the past several years, made great strides in focusing on prevention and reporting. The district has carried out drills that address active

threats for many years. It has implemented secure entryways at all schools. It has placed a focus on preventing school violence through its participation in the Student Threat Assessment System—a partnership with many local agencies, including Bend Police—which aims to identify individuals who may be struggling emotionally, mentally or otherwise, and to offer support to those people before they experience a full-blown crisis. These are positive steps on the part of our local agencies.

But now, at the start of the school year, is an ideal time for each of us to do our own part toward that notion of prevention, by speaking to the kids—and adults—in our lives about the notion of “see something, say something.”

Keeping in mind the statistic that in 81% of cases, someone knew about an incident before it happened, local agencies want to make reporting a concerning incident or potential threat as anonymous and simple as possible. To that end, BLPS has added a graphic on the back of all school ID cards this year, offering a host of text, chat and phone resources for students who are struggling with suicidal thoughts, as well as resources for students to share any information they might have about pending threats. Secondary students’ school iPads also have access to FirstStep, the suite of “Tip and Talk” resources aimed at fostering strong communication.

Too often, students believe that “tattling” on a fellow student is a breach of trust, that it’s “none of their business,” or that someone isn’t serious about the threats they’re making.

As a new school year dawns, it’s important for adults to aim to flip that thinking, and to help students understand that, while they are not to be blamed for school violence, they, too, can take part in preventing it. If you see something, say something. In a society where we are seeing bulletproof backpacks in the back-to-school aisles—and one in which true reform remains elusive— this is one big thing we can do.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

GUEST OPINION A recent guest opinion told Source readers we should consider “feasible alternatives” for salmon reintroduction above the Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project—the facility Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs co-own and operate near Madras. But the alternative suggested would not meet the goals of the reintroduction project: to restore self-sustaining and harvestable runs of Chinook, sockeye and steelhead to the upper Deschutes Basin.

We developed a comprehensive strategy to move fish around the dams and fix another important problem—the fact that the way water moved through the dams distorted seasonal temperature patterns down river. Learn about our strategy at PortlandGeneral.com/ProtectingFish.

The 20-plus organizations collaborating on this long-term program knew we would have to learn and adjust along the way, so our project license incorporates adaptive management. This means we make improvements to reflect new information, adopting feasible alternatives when supported by good science.

For example, research shows juvenile fish travel at night, so now we generate power at night during peak migration, increasing flow to our collection facility to attract more fish.

In 2017 and 2018, we captured our highest percentage of juvenile fish yet.

Adaptive management changes also contributed to this year’s upper-basin spring Chinook returns. The total—47 fish—is not large, but of the entire Deschutes adult spring Chinook run, a much higher percentage came from the upper basin than ever before. We have a long way to go, but fish passing through our project are on the road to recovery, despite poor ocean conditions and dismal overall Columbia Basin returns.

We’re also designing a guidance net that should further improve downstream migration— an effective tool on other rivers. This is one of many related fish passage, water quality and habitat improvement projects across the basin you can read about at PRBFishCommittee.com.

The guest-opinion proposal sounds easy: “simply truck out-migrating fish from the tributaries around not only the dams, but Lake Billy Chinook as well.” In fact, we’re implementing a similar strategy for some hatchery releases, along with acclimating the fish in tributaries before migration. We think this can help jumpstart returns of Chinook and steelhead. But it can’t replace the current system.

That’s because we want more than an expanded hatchery program. We want to restore

wild fish runs. To collect wild fish upstream, new and far more disruptive, river-straddling traps would be needed for each Lake Billy Chinook tributary. Fisheries managers found this impractical when we first evaluated reintroduction strategies. If we did try it, years of refining and troubleshooting would follow, and the existing system would still be required for water temperature management and wild sockeye capture (because they rear in the lake).

Rather than start over, we remain committed to moving forward. We have reaffirmed our ambitious goals for Deschutes Basin salmon and steelhead restoration, and have innovative strategies, an adaptive process, and a team of collaborative partners—backed by major investments on behalf of Tribal members and PGE customers—to help us get there.

SCHOOL ISSUES

The four newly installed Bend-La Pine School Board members have a huge challenge ahead of them. Low high school graduation rates (one of the lowest in the nation), school safety (a high parent priority), truancy, a diverse student population and lack of minority teachers and administrators are among the many targets which must be addressed.

In listening to them at public forums up to election time (I was also a candidate), they (we) all were in the same arena on the importance of seeking solutions to these problems.

There are tried and true programs available at Madras and other school districts throughout the nation. They merit looking into.

Union, Universities Prepare for Possible Strike

OSU-Cascades

Workers, management still aim to reach agreement on contract

9

W

orkers at Oregon’s seven public universities are preparing to strike after the two sides have failed to agree on a contract for more than 5,000 staff members.

“We bargain with the intention of settling and not having a strike occur,” said Steve Clark, vice president for university relations at Oregon State University. “But we are planning as if a strike might occur in late September.”

The classified staff, represented by SEIU Local 503, are non-faculty, non-academic workers at the University of Oregon, Oregon Institute of Technology, and Oregon State, Portland State, Southern Oregon, Eastern Oregon and Western Oregon universities. They include custodial, maintenance, groundskeeping and food preparation staff, as well as IT specialists and staff who help students register for classes and complete financial arrangements. OSU-Cascades in Bend has 30 classified employees represented by the union.

Classified workers are essential to operating residential halls and dining facilities and to maintaining facilities and departments, Clark noted, so the university will determine how to prioritize those operations to ensure an uninterrupted start of the school year if a strike occurs.

Planning will start this week.

“Our history indicates SEIU and the universities can reach agreement,” Clark said. “These are groups that can work together and reach agreement.”

The workers’ annual pay ranges from less than $25,000 to about $80,000, according to

SEIU Local 503 Political Strategist Jay Parasco.

But most of the workers earn low wages, Parasco said. And many qualify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

“The universities continue to have the wrong priorities,” SEIU Executive Director Melissa Unger stated in a Monday news release. “They are raising tuition and refusing their lowest-paid workers a fair contract, while not addressing administrative bloat and administrative salaries.”

Pay increases for classified staff come through cost of living adjustments and step increases that let staff gradually move up the pay scale toward market rate while providing an incentive to continue working in higher ed. Under the current twoyear contract, workers get a 4.75% step increase and a 1% COLA each year.

The university management says its offer for the new contract entails a 12% total increase in wages over two years, with 9.5% in step increases and 2.5% in COLA. The union calls that 12% increase figure misleading, partly because steps are part of the public service process each year and not a new element. According to the union, the university proposal would result in no COLA for 2019; a 1% COLA in March 2020; a .75% COLA in November 2020; a .75% COLA in March 2021; regular full step increases in the first year; delayed step increases in the second year; and no new steps for workers who have hit the top of their pay range. Many workers get no step increases—and only see salary increases through COLA—because they’ve topped out.

Contract negotiations will continue between the management and workers of Oregon's public universities.

The union has called for a 3.75% COLA starting July 2019; 3.5% COLA in July 2020; regular step increases each year; and adding a step at the top of the pay scale while eliminating the lowest step for the first year.

Parasco argued that proposals for state workers include adding steps at the top of the pay scale for those who have reached it, and that university administrators all see increases. The union has also pointed to high salaries among administrators, some of whom make more than $400,000 per year. And the organization noted its efforts to help the universities secure an additional $100 million in higher education that the state legislature approved this past session.

But Di Saunders, associate vice president for communications and public affairs at Oregon Institute of Technology, who also serves as spokesperson for the universities for the negotiations, argues that the bulk of revenue for all seven universities comes from student tuition. The universities don’t have the same state funding state agencies do, Saunders said.

“We believe we are offering a fair contract,” Saunders said. “We do believe it is a fair offer.”

Saunders said the universities want to reach agreement and avoid a strike that would occur as students return to campus. But the universities have a contingency plan that involves redeploying unclassified staff—more

management-level workers—to the classified staff positions; using temporary employees; and outsourcing work, Saunders said.

Rob Fullmer, an IT specialist at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Portland State University, serves as a bargaining chair for the workers. Besides the salary concerns, Fullmer also has concerns about the universities’ proposed changes to contract provisions such as processes for layoffs and contracting out work. And he questions the salaries of some administrators.

“We see this corporatization of higher education,” Fullmer said.

Fullmer said he wants to see the parties settle. He suspects that part of what has made negotiations so difficult this time is that the Oregon University System that governed the universities has disbanded, effectively leaving the union to negotiate with seven different entities—with their different economic situations and goals— rather than one. And the union doesn’t want to see different results for workers at different universities when they’re doing the same work.

“There was a system. Now there’s no system,” Fullmer said.

If the union declares a strike, it must give 10 days’ notice.

“It’s a tool of last resort,” Parasco said.

The parties plan a negotiation session Sept. 11-13.

Green schools reduce waste and improve energy use

By Suzanne Johnson

E

very parent of school-age kids has a similar shopping list this month: Pencils, glue sticks, highlighters, notebooks, dry-erase markers, crayons, sharpies and erasable pens… and don’t forget the earbuds and iPad stylus. Most items are not recyclable, or biodegrable, and represent just a fraction of the resources that go into educating kids.

Schools create a surprising amount of waste, considering both the energy used and the dumpsters filled. The American Federation of Teachers reports that the average school generates 45 to 90 pounds of waste per student, annually. Waste audits estimate 23% comes from food waste, up to 40% from paper and cardboard, and 15% from beverage bottles.

Nationwide, new schools are built to higher efficiency standards, but inefficient heating and cooling still weigh down school budgets. According to the U.S. Office of Energy, K-12 schools spend over $6 billion on energy annually—more textbooks and computers.

In Central Oregon, improvements in resource use and waste reduction are underway across the Bend-La Pine Schools district. Efforts range from transportation to food service to building maintenance, led by administration, nonprofits and students.

The Green School movement Shrinking a school’s carbon footprint involves retrofitting older buildings with new technology. BLPS is replacing traditional lighting with efficient LED lights, school by school. Expected savings from lowering energy use adds up to $10,000 per school, according to Alandra Johnson,

, N.D. Blending Nature with Medicine Insurance Accepted

communication specialist for the district.

“The money saved by efficient lighting can be used in the classroom, instead of for utility bills,” she said.

Much of the waste reduction stems from the schools’ Green Teams, a project of Oregon Green Schools. More than 20 Green Teams were active in BLPS last year, and 16 schools were certified at Green or Merit levels by Oregon Green Schools. Certification lasts for three school years, with specific tasks to complete along the way.

Jackie Wilson, at The Environmental Center in Bend, coordinates local Green Teams, made up of students and faculty advisors. “Teams patrol the school to be sure lights and equipment are shut down, and check on recycling. They take ownership of the program,” said Wilson.

Green Teams also check classroom floors each afternoon as part of the Clean Sweep program, picking up pencils and recyclables that would otherwise be swept into the trash. “Not only do they learn more about wasted resources, they develop school pride,” Wilson explained.

Less waste at lunchtime The first step for Green School certification requires students to complete a food waste audit, to analyze what food is thrown away. Often this process leads to a “No Thank You” table, where students can return unwanted food, instead of throwing it away.

School kitchens prepare breads, soups and sauces in-house, which cuts down on packaging. Some schools, including William E. Miller Elementary, Westside Village Magnet at Kingston School, REALMS

One way to reduce waste this school year: poring over last year's school supplies before buying more.

Middle School and Cascade Middle School, have food composting programs in place.

Cafeteria trash cans also fill with plastic from disposable lunch bags and plastics.

A typical school disposes of about 10,000 plastic forks or spoons annually, according to Wilson. But local elementary schools are phasing out plastic utensils, starting this year, and three schools now use washable dishware instead of disposaeble plates. And instead of using disposables for classroom parties, teachers can access sets of reusable plates, utensils and cups for the day. These sets were purchased through a grant from The Environmental Center.

Walking school buses Making education energy efficient also includes transportation. Walking school buses, organized by Commute Options, provide supervised walking groups to and from school. Twelve routes offer paid adult leaders who also serve as liaisons in the schools. Students outside the 1-mile perimeter can be dropped off and picked up at the routes’ starting points, so they can join a walking bus.

“It’s a great start to the day for kids— the groups are fun and social, and kids get some exercise along the way,” said Kersey

Marion of Commute Options. “Our goal is to shrink the line of cars dropping off one student.” Marion encourages parents to use carpools, buses, or bike with students.

Making school supplies more sustainable The most eco-friendly supplies are the ones families already own, so making the process more sustainable includes gathering items left over from the last school year. Eco-friendly products such as cardboard binders, or pencil highlighters, instead of the plastic versions, can fill in the gaps. Reusable lunch containers can further reduce a child’s footprint, as well as washing and reusing plastic bags.

A new initiative from Crayola keeps plastic markers out of the waste stream.

Schools can collect up to 10 pounds of any brand of used markers and ship the box free of charge to Crayola for repurposing.

Building, Upgrades Take Shape from Bond Money New elementary school opens, high school on the way

By Hilary Corrigan systems; improve boilers, HVAC and lighting systems; add and renovate classrooms and other spaces; upgrade health and safety features such as cameras, intercoms, technology wiring and cabling; and redesign entrances. Leading up to the bond measure, the community had emphasized the importance of preserving existing assets and maintaining them for future use, Tiller noted.

The school district had stated that more than half of its elementary schools and all of its high schools in Bend were near or over their capacity due to growing enrollment. District enrollment grew by more than 5,000 students from 2000 to 2016 and the trend will likely continue—with nearly 3,000 students expected over the next 10 years. The fifth-largest school district in Oregon, Bend-La Pine Schools has 18,375 students and employs more than 2,000 people, according to district information. The district covers 1,600 square miles and is made up of 34 schools, including North Star, plus two charter schools.

Pilot Butte Middle School The 50-year-old school on Northeast Neff Road is undergoing a complete interior modernization over a three-year stretch. The first phase completed two of the school’s six buildings; the second phase continues on two others; and the third phase in spring 2020 aims to complete the last two buildings by fall 2020.

“It’s like gutting a house and starting over,” Tiller said of the work that includes new flooring, ceilings, lights, technology, furnishings and other elements.

Steve Stancliff, principal of Pilot Butte Middle School, said the upgraded classroom designs improve the layout, structure and acoustics of classrooms, making them more functional. A reconfigured art room consolidates the art space for ceramics and visual arts—formerly in separate buildings—so that the art teacher can stay in one place.

Workers converted an old woodshed into a design center, a more contemporary space where students can work a creative idea through the research, design and building stages. One such effort, an “evolution of junk,” involves students bringing in old items to make them functional in different ways.

The Life Skills Program that serves those with intellectual and physical disabilities is moving from one building to another that has a dedicated kitchenette, bathroom, shower and laundry facilities, Stancliff said. Its more central location makes it easier for those students to access transportation, the gym, outdoor facilities and the cafeteria, he noted.

Stancliff said he’s also excited about simple elements such as getting more ambient light through new windows, and about the technology upgrades that allow teachers to be more mobile and not tethered to a certain spot. Total school enrollment remains about the same from last year at approximately 675 students, Stancliff said.

“We’ll be ready for the students,” he said. “It will feel very new for the kids, for sure.”

The first phase had included safety upgrades to the entry and moving the administrative offices to the front of the building from the back; updates to science classrooms and infrastructure in labs; and upgrades to the music room that leveled it from a tiered lecture-hall style to let musicians perform as they would in an auditorium, with its sight lines and acoustics, Stancliff said. The change also makes the space more functional for instructors and more accessible for those with disabilities, he said.

The budget for the ongoing work at Pilot Butte is more than $14.2 million, while the projected expense—the best cost estimates to date—now stands at about $13.9 million, according to Tiller.

Bend’s new high school BLPS has been designing the newest high school for more than a year and has started some construction at the site in southeast Bend off Knott Road and 15th Street. The school could open in September 2021.

That two-story, 260,000 square-foot building will have 60 classrooms, plus career and technical education classrooms, a library in its center and open spaces for groups to collaborate. It will also have two gyms, a 600-seat auditorium and two secure main entries.

“We’re really excited about that building,” Tiller said.

It will sit on 50 acres. Another 25 acres connected to the north could host a new middle school in the future. Athletic spaces include a football field with artificial turf, a track, two baseball fields, two softball fields, four multi-use fields for sports such as soccer and lacrosse, and eight tennis courts.

The budget for the new high school is more than $129 million, while projected expenses stand at about $137 million, according to Tiller.

Marshall High School upgrades The district also completed upgrades at Marshall High School on Northeast 5th Street, including two new career and technical education classrooms, a new gym, locker rooms, a fitness room and restrooms. The project also added a new secure lobby, replaced windows and doors and modernized HVAC controls, among other changes.

The budget for Marshall’s upgrades is more than $6.9 million and the projected expense is nearly $8.2 million, according to Tiller.

Planning will continue for schools.

The district will soon start a process that reviews growth, enrollment and capacity and the district’s needs over the next several years for sites and facilities, Tiller said. A committee will form in fall 2020 and a report in spring 2021 will detail enrollment, projections and needs going forward.

ome of the big plans from a $268 million construction bond that voters passed in 2017 have started showing up in time for this school year at Bend-La Pine Schools.

The biggest change is the new North Star Elementary School at O. B. Riley and Cooley roads in north central Bend.

A public celebration will take place Thursday, Aug. 29 before the school’s first students arrive.

“The building is beautiful,” said North Star Principal Kevin Gehrig.

Gehrig said that he and staff are excited to work in the new school.

“The most exciting part is the first day of school,” Gehrig said—along with getting students into the new building.

“They’re the most fun part.”

North Star has about 279 students enrolled, with most of the teaching staff brought in from other schools in the district and some staff hired new, Gehrig said. He noted various features of the building—classrooms surrounding a common area; LED lighting that will save energy; security features at the entry where visitors will need to walk into the front office first.

The two-story, 72,000 square foot building with 24 classrooms has capacity for 600 students, according to Mike Tiller, the district’s executive director of facilities. With a similar design to the Silver Rail Elementary School built in 2015, it has a gym, cafeteria and library, plus playgrounds and fields. It sits on about 10 acres. It took about a year to build and came in on schedule, Tiller said. North Star’s projected expense is about $31.4 million—coming in under the budgeted amount of more than $33.1 million, according to Tiller.

The bond aimed to complete about 150 projects, such as the new elementary school and a new high school, plus various renovations and upgrades at existing buildings. That included plans to replace leaking roofs and windows; upgrade heating, ventilation, electrical and plumbing

A Fall Jumpstart

The Education Foundation for Bend-La Pine Schools offers teachers a helping hand at the start of the school year

L

ast school year, the Education Foundation for Bend-La Pine Schools gave out 41 grants to the BendLa Pine school district with its Spring Grants program, totaling over $70,000 donated for programs and needs for the upcoming school year. With the 2019-2020 session upon us, the Education Foundation’s new Back-to-School Classroom Grants for Educators program offers a new way for teachers and schools to gain extra funding at the beginning of the year.

The Education Foundation has been helping schools for 30 years, offering a Spring Grants for Teachers program, Activity Fee Scholarships for students served under the free or reduced meals program so they can participate in athletics, scholarships for Latinx students to go toward higher education or future trade school plans, and Perseverance Awards for seniors who’ve navigated difficult obstacles to graduate. However, the Back-to-School Grants program is the only time they’ve offered a grants program this early in the year, which can be extra beneficial to kids in the numerous K-12 schools in the district.

A new fall grants program “It’s the first time ever the Education Foundation is providing an additional opportunity for teachers to reach out to us to help with support. Most educators end up spending about $459 out of their own pocket for back-to-school

needs,” said Michelle Johnson, executive director of the Education Foundation. “We’ve been able to set aside some funds to help teachers with backto-school grant requests. And they can be simple requests for some support in the classroom or something a little more in-depth, just depending on what they need.”

Teachers and staff will be able to apply for these grants from Sept. 4 to Oct. 18. The grants can range from $200 to $1,000, and the Education Foundation will award them as soon as Nov. 1.

“It’s really possible this year because of the generous business support in the community. We have businesses that do fundraisers for us like Worthy Brewing, 10 Barrell, FootZone—a lot of other local businesses will do those giveback nights,” Johnson tells the Source. “From those we were able to set those funds aside to offer this opportunity to help our public-school teachers.”

The Education Foundation has been operating a Spring Grants program for its entire 30 years, supplying grants of up to $2,500, focused mostly on Title I schools (schools that have a high number of low-income students and receive federal funding to help meet education goals), and dedicated toward the following academic year (the $70,000 mentioned earlier will be implemented this school year). The special thing about the Back-to-School program is

that it’s for every kind of school and will be available when some teachers need it most.

“Even something as simple as school supplies—we have teachers who are just starting out their careers and wanting to stock their classrooms with some supplies that just isn’t in the

school’s budget,” continued Johnson.

“Whether you’re a first-year teacher or a 20-year teacher – you’re still doing what you can based on limited funding from the state.”

These grants aren’t just for classroom equipment either, but for the overall well-being and relationships Courtesy Education Foundation

Students at Ponderosa Elementary School dive into music after receiving a grant for more keyboards.

between educator and student. Some grants of this nature were awarded to programs like First Aid training or even Trauma Informed Care for the entire district.

“The Trauma Informed Care was something that we had worked on last academic year, helping to provide some resources for our teachers– because no longer are they strictly just teaching A, B and C. They really have other issues that they have to deal with in the classroom,” says Johnson.

“The district hosts a trauma-informed summit and we work to provide some funding for that particular program.”

Adding value in the classroom The grants have helped teachers buy things like coding kits, drones, 3D printers and more. Getting exposed to these different fields earlier can really leave an imprint on kids growing up and might even help spark a new interest that could lead into a career— especially when kids may not have these kinds of resources available to them at home.

“Summit’s photography program is growing quickly, and it is becoming more and more difficult to keep up with equitably supplying students with the required DSLR cameras,” said Mindy Mendenhall, a teacher at Summit High School who applied for a grant to fund a photography program called Real Cameras For The Real World. The grant allowed the program to obtain three more Canon Revel T6 DSLR bundles. And while this offers more equipment to go around for students, it also helps them take their time spent in the classroom even further.

“It’s fine to take pictures with smartphones, tablets or point-andshoot cameras—in fact, you can get really awesome shots that way,” Mendenhall told the Source. “However, it’s just not possible to teach the complexity of professional photography without DSLR cameras. Without the right equipment, the class could not qualify students for CTE (career and technical education) credit or qualify as ‘real world experience.’”

Without organizations like the Education Foundation, Mendenhall says teachers would be forced to teach more on theory rather than practice— especially in elective classes.

“Student photographers who have mastered a DSLR are confident enough in their skills to engage their communities and offer their services for pay,” added Mendenhall. “I’ve had students shoot senior photos, weddings, family portraits, sell their prints online, collaborate with realtors, freelance for local businesses needing product photography, shoot races for competitive mountain biking… it’s thrilling to see what these students are capable of when they have the right tools.”

For teachers, they’re appreciative of the grants not for the money but for the access. The grants and programs supply the tools, but they also remove obstacles.

“Some families—students won’t be able to find those resources at home.

Whether it’s economics or financial hardship. The school is the place for that,” finished Johnson. “Unfortunately, our public school teachers... you know, they can’t do it all. So, we work to partner with them and help support them in supporting our students.”

Having Each Other’s Backs

Jeffrey Silverstein & Alex Crowson’s connection is more than music

By Isaac Biehl

“How On Earth” – Jeffrey Silverstein “There’s something powerful about having your name behind something,” Silverstein tells me about making his first solo effort, while on a group call with

him and Crowson. Admittedly, Silverstein still gets nervous performing solo, but he’s balanced that creative freedom of being the lone operator of his musical direction, appreciating the assistance from Crowson along the way. “Other than my wife, I think you were the only person I showed the music to,” laughs Silverstein as he speaks to Crowson.

Silverstein’s EP is a collection of folky, ambient songs that float along like a light summer breeze—so much so that the EP might even convince listeners that they’re actually outside. “Even though his songs are so ambient, he’s still able to follow classic song structure,” says Crowson of Silverstein’s music. “Sometimes he’ll sing the same line over and over throughout the song, so you get to know the true meaning behind it. It becomes sort of a mantra.”

Alex Kocher

Jeffrey Silverstein brings his outside sound to The Suttle Lodge.

Following a rough time in his life, Alex Crowson credits Silverstein with drawing him back to playing music.

“Take This With You” – Alex Crowson Sometimes life’s rough patches inspire the best art. “It was about three years of battling mental illness,” recalls Crowson. His mother had passed away due to cancer during that time. Over that span the singer/songwriter says he had most of the project’s songs already completely written. It wasn’t until Crowson met Silverstein that he began to share music and start performing again. “Alex will have like 10 straight lines in a song that are just pure poetry,” gushes Silverstein.

And he isn’t wrong. “Take This With You” is about as raw as a collection of songs can be. Crowson sings about the heaviest details weighing on his life in such a vivid manner; the EP plays out like a set of five book chapters. You can feel the heartbreak and

hear the burning question of “why?” as Crowson’s curiosity about life’s ups and downs is on full display. “Jeff has much more experience in all this,” says Crowson. “It was great to have him around through the process.”

While the two weren’t direct collaborators for their projects, there’s a clear camaraderie and trust of having one another in their corners—and an excitement of getting to play together in Central Oregon.

“Like most moments in life, it’s always better sharing them with the people you love,” says Silverstein.

irst meeting about two years ago while both teaching at a school in Portland, Jeffrey Silverstein and Alex Crowson quickly bonded through music and their appreciation for early punk and pop tunes.

Now their friendship has grown beyond that and they’ve each put out their first solo projects– which they realized were only released a day apart.

This pair of friends is gearing up to play the final Big Lawn Music show at The Suttle Lodge together Friday. Ahead of the show, I spoke with them about their respective projects.

Fulcher is a Southern man who might have gotten into music later than most (he didn’t start playing guitar until the end of his senior year of college), but he’s definitely made a name for himself as a solo artist, songwriter and behind-the-scenes

CULTURE

Van Life: The Event

Annual Descend on Bend event draws hundreds of van-dwellers to Oregon Outback this weekend

By Magdalena Bokowa

39 Courtesy Descend on Bend

Chili cookouts, morning yoga and a fundraiser for the Oregon Natural Desert Association are some of the activities van lifers can look forward to at Descend on Bend.

Grey speaks about the diversity of folk at Descend Bend that drive from all corners of the state—and outside of it—to meet together. “I mean, it’s everything from the old guy who just loves tinkering on the old rig he’s had from the ‘70s to the younger generation who can’t find affordable housing and choose to live on the road, to the weekend warrior couple who have one foot into the lifestyle and one foot out.

That’s what I love about it, I seem to amass more life-long friends each year that I go.”

The four-day event is perched near the expansive crater known as the Holein-the-Ground, near Fort Rock. Pockets

of juniper trees and sagebrush dot the interior of the crater, which makes for a quiet and serene setting a quarter mile from the event grounds. Festival goers can expect live music, workshops, potlucks, ladies cocktail hour, talks and low-key campfires to fill the time.

“I absolutely love the people there,” says Sheri Young, who attended last year as a guest of a van-lifer friend.

“It changed my life.” Young, who only attended one day last year, says it was enough for her to go out and buy an old Dodge Ram a few months later.

“I’m prepping to slip into this lifestyle, hopefully full-time in a few years,” she says, laughing.

Outdoor workshops are as diverse as the clientele with everything from morning yoga held on the rim of the crater to learning how to cook on castiron, knitting and sewing, leathering small goods, songwriting and nature observation walks. There’s even a salsa and chili contest (no, not together), a slip-and-slide mud grotto, a creative market to buy, trade and barter handcrafted goods and a charity pancake breakfast and raffle benefiting the Oregon Natural Desert Association.

“We support ONDA’s efforts to ensure over 8 million acres of public lands continue to thrive, both for wildlife and for all of us who come out to the wildlands, year after year,” says Descend Bend’s founder, Ryan Sellmeyer, “...[the] Oregon Natural Desert Association’s conservation efforts to preserve Oregon’s High Desert is unmatched.” In the spirit of this, 100% of the raffle proceeds will directly benefit ONDA this year.

Notable musicians the Scratchdog Stringband and Austin Quattlebaum will play Saturday night’s main stage after the community BBQ, as will a slew of other musical acts.

“My favorite moments have been mixed between getting dusty dancing in the High Desert to having talks outside of the tipi about van-life misadventures,” says Grey. “Oh, and don’t forget the late-night hootenannies!"

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 35 / AUGUST 29, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

“I

died and went to van heaven.”

That’s the sentiment repeated by countless van lifers attending the annual Descend on Bend event, taking place this Labor Day weekend in the Oregon Outback. Welcoming all shapes, sizes and models of vans—from the original VW Vanagon, which sparked the notion of van life, to modern day Sprinters and American-made wagons—the family-friendly event has a stirring motto: “Humans, being.”

It seems that choosing to live in less than 70 square feet on wheels brings together people of all diverse backgrounds, unifying them quickly.

“It’s a space for people who may think they don’t have much in common— from millennials to families to Vietnam vets—to come together in a beautiful campout, get to know one another and just be themselves,” says Stuart Grey, a 2018 attendee who’s readying his 1974 Econoline to attend this year’s event.

“Everyone here is instant family.”

Grey, 31, originally from Bend, pays to park on his friend’s 5-acre plot of land in Tumalo. He says he was trying to live in Portland for a number of years, but as an artist, was forced out two years ago when rents kept increasing. “I was living paycheck to paycheck and I wanted a way out.” He sells his art, some jewelry and helps as a carpenter from time to time. “The funny thing is that I’m working less, but I’m actually saving money now, readying myself for some larger passion projects on the horizon.”

Opening Early Fall

Book our working barrel room Please Participate. 2015. By Jeppe Hein

S

ometimes those of us who call Bend home need more than this fair town has to offer. Namely, art. Don’t get me wrong, I love the art scene here— love that there actually is one and that it’s growing in the way of mural code changes and contemporary art galleries. There are just a few offerings locals don’t yet have; one being a museum dedicated solely to the exhibition of fine art. Lucky for us there’s the Portland Art Museum just a few hours away.

A recent visit provided the opportunity to experience “Paris 1900: City of Entertainment,” an exhibit about the Parisian Belle Epoque which includes more than 300 works of art and highlights that period of “fantasy, excess and boundless faith in progress.” There was also a short film

by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Caldazilla, in which a digger equipped with a giant bell demolishes a tropical pharmacy; an iconic portrait by Kehinde Wiley; neon art by Jeppe Hein; sculpture ranging from

Rodin to Louise Bourgeois; contemporary, modern, conceptual, classical, Native and Japanese art; along with portraiture, photography and video. So much art!

A word of advice: Go early, buy your ticket and make an entire day of it. Start from the top floor of the Modern & Contemporary wing and work your way down.

Eat lunch at the Museum Grounds Café and hang out in the sculpture garden or take a midday stroll—the museum allows re-entry from open to close—then do the same thing, top down, in the main building.

For a full list of upcoming exhibits check the PAM website. The one I can hardly wait for? Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism, opening next June.

Rocking the Ramen

Miyagi breaks into the niche market of Japanese pulled noodles in the fast-evolving Box Factory

By Nancy Patterson Nancy Patterson

Owners Heather and Lisandro Ramon stand in the expanded portion of The Brown Owl, set to open in the next several weeks.

Brown Owl Expanding

At Miyagi—whose name and logo are inspired by the character in The Karate Kid—the spicy pork miso with a soft-cooked egg is this writer’s favorite!

oil, Chashu pork and Togarashi cured pork belly. Then it’s topped with spicy minced pork and garnish with wilted bean sprouts and scallions. If you’re into eggs in your savory dishes, I strongly suggest the addition of a soft egg.

This added just enough of a reprieve from the heat and umami essence at the end of each slurp.

If ramen isn’t your thing, choose from any of the items on the ‘Not Ramen’ menu, including chicken katsu steamed buns and watermelon and pork belly salad. Having tried the chicken katsu and tempura miatake mushroom steamed buns (twice), I can attest to them being just as piquant and satisfying as any of their ramen bowls. You can choose from a variety of Japanese cocktails, sake, and beer to accommodate your meal.

Miyagi resides in a small building on the edge of The Box Factory on Industrial Way. The large roll-up doors, which Nancy Patterson

usually remain open, show off the interior of the industrial building with a floorto-ceiling painted mural. A few tables are available for outdoor seating, but the space feels like a hybrid of indoor and outdoor seating with its open-concept layout, shared bar tables and outdoor exposure. The meat and produce is locally sourced as often as possible, with Pacific Northwest-raised chicken and pork, and organically grown produce.

After three years living in Bend, Morris has certainly made a name for himself in the culinary arena. He moved from Telluride, Colorado, to help open and cook for Bos Taurus and shortly thereafter, brought Miyagi’s concept to life. Inspired by Julia Child’s rendition of coq au vin, Morris realized that cooking wasn’t just about eating, it was about enjoying. “It wasn’t until my mother took me to a French restaurant, after I expressed interest in cooking, that I started to understand that cooking wasn’t just something that your mom or dad did to feed you—it was a career.”

Running, operating, and cooking for two restaurants is hardly an easy task, and Morris attributes his ability to stay effective, efficient and maintain a healthy workflow to his staff. “Between Bos Taurus and Miyagi, we have a great staff. All of our owners are hands-on operators; without the great people of our staff, we wouldn’t be able to do this—I could never be this successful without them.”

The Bos/Miyagi team has more up their sleeves—but you’ll have to stay tuned for the new concept that Morris and his affiliates are currently working on. For now, his lips are sealed.

Miyagi Ramen

Chicken katsu and tempura mushroom steamed buns are alternatives to ramen at Miyagi.

The Brown Owl, the popular food-cartmeets-bar in The Box Factory, is making more room for its growing base of customers. Owner Lisandro Ramon has leased the space just west of the Brown Owl’s current location to expand, adding 1,400 square feet to the current footprint.

“Capacity is an issue,” Ramon said of the current space. The expanded Brown Owl will include a second-floor bar and larger bathrooms, along with more space to accommodate the bar’s live music offerings. Ramon also hopes to add cocktail servers to help cut down on the bottleneck customers can sometimes experience at the front of the bar, which currently offers only counter service. The expanded Brown Owl is slated to be finished in the next several weeks.

A New Venture: Left Coast Burger Company

The Brown Owl’s owner, Lisandro Ramon, is at work on opening a new burger spot in the Cascade Village Shopping Center, in the former Yo Wild frozen yogurt space.

The concept is inspired by Ramon’s visits to “old school burger joints” with his grandfather growing up, and will include diner-style chairs, counter service and an open kitchen, where customers can see their burgers being made.

A bonus to the space: It’s adjacent to a splash park—a rarity in Bend. The space’s new roll-up doors will allow people to nosh while in view of the water feature.

Ramon says the menu will be basic but will include what he calls “elevated diner burgers,” milkshakes and beer, with the options of adding cheese and bacon to any burger. Left Coast will also offer a vegan burger option, as well as Kobe beef tallow fries, which Ramon says add a delicious crispiness to french fries.

Ramon expects Left Coast Burger Company to open in early October.

T

he day after Miyagi Ramen’s grand opening, I made sure to park myself outside of the restaurant around 10:30 a.m., half an hour prior to opening time. I wanted to be the first one in on their second day open to get a feel for the most anticipated new restaurant in Central Oregon this summer. Typically, it’s fair to allow a brand-new business, especially in the hospitality industry, to work out the kinks and acquire a flow before coming in to do a review. However, I was eager to see the menu and check out their decor; I decided that this visit would be strictly for pleasure and I’d come back in a few weeks to assess the food. Luckily, I didn’t need more than that first visit to be convinced of the monolith that Miyagi is sure to be for our restaurant scene.

Head chef and partner, George Morris, saw an opportunity and missing link in Central Oregon for true ramen cuisine and jumped at the chance to feature Bend’s only ramen-focused establishment.

“We saw the space at The Box Factory and just knew—this place was made for a restaurant like this,” says Morris. In fact, ramen was in the cards almost before Bos Taurus, where Morris is also head chef and a managing partner. After spending months in Tokyo for ramen research and development, Morris headed back to the U.S. to design Miyagi’s smallyet-complex menu. “We wanted our ramen to be as authentic as possible, while still serving our demographic here in Oregon,” he says. “We wanted it to be approachable.”

Having 30 minutes to gaze over the menu, I settled on the Spicy Miso.

It’s made with a red miso base, chili

T

he Little Woody festival is the beer event I wait for all year long. It’s my happy place—my Christmas, if you will. It’s truly a beer geek’s dream. Basically, it’s the best beer festival EVER! Barrel-aged beers from all over the place are served up. Not convinced yet? That’s fine. Read on for further temptation.

The Little Woody benefits the Deschutes Historical Society. In fact, the festival location is the parking lot and lawn of the Deschutes Historical Museum in downtown Bend. There will be live music on Friday and Saturday night. Play a little corn hole while sipping on a delicious barrel-aged beverage. People can even dig deep into their lumberjack tendencies and throw axes (sober, of course… come on, now).

With the purchase of a VIP pass, visitors can learn about the barrel-aging processes directly from 24-year veteran homebrewer Spencer Williams, a member of the Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization. The VIP pass also includes early entry into the festival both Friday and Saturday (meaning waaay fewer lines), extra tokens and a Little Woody shirt.

There is something new every year at The Little Woody. This year (besides the axe throwing), they have beer coming from as far away as Grand Rapids, Michigan (Founders Brewing Co.). Also new this year is Pfriem, from Hood River, Oregon, bringing beer for the first time.

When I found out about this I began jumping up and down, squealing, just like I did when I was 6 or 7 years old and got a roller-skating baby doll for Christmas.

Besides Founders and Pfriem, the brewery tents I plan to hit up first are Fort George from Astoria, Oregon, Kobold out of Redmond and—ALWAYS—The Ale Apothecary from Bend.

What’s that you say? You love beer but your significant other only likes

cider? No problemo! There are four cideries participating, as well. I’m looking forward to trying what WildCraft brings from Eugene. Tumalo Cider will also be present, and they’re on fire right now with unique flavors—why I must go both Friday and Saturday.

There are just too many choices and I must try them all (with much help from my hubby, of course).

If the end of the festival comes before you've had your fill, don’t worry about it. Buy a Big Token (if you’re one of the lucky ones) and from 9:30 to 10 pm you can fill a growler with one of the brews remaining to take home and keep the party going! And hey, don’t forget to stop at the whiskey tent to taste whiskey and talk to the experts in the field of spirits.

OK, admit it. I’ve totally convinced you to give the Little Woody a shot.

Grab your gnome hats (because there is a costume contest) and, according to Volunteer Director Karin Roy, other “gnome shenanigans” will also be at hand. Watch beer geeks in their natural habitat, with their cute little notepads, writing tasting notes about each of the beers they drink and comparing those notes with others.

Editor’s note: The Little Woody is an event produced by the Source’s sister company, Lay It Out Events—but we assure you, we made no push for Howard to get this excited about the festival…

the Ropes SCREEN On “The Peanut Butter Falcon” wants us to love each other

By Jared Rasic Johnson), a kindly woman who works at the nursing home, is searching for Zak and trying to take him back to a world that has no place for him.

It’s impossible to make it through this genuinely heartwarming work without feeling a healthy dollop of empathy for people who are different than we are (except Nazis, obviously). It’s something that’s been heading the way of the dinosaur for the last few years, and it’s always good to be reminded of our common humanity instead of celebrating imaginary lines in the sand.

LaBeouf is a movie star, and “The Peanut Butter Falcon” should hopefully rehabilitate his career in the same way that Robert Downey Jr. had happen for him. His work with Gottsagen, a young actor who really has Down syndrome, is beautiful. Their friendship and love for each other is so apparent onscreen that anytime the direction or script has a little stumble, their foundation keeps the film from becoming schmaltzy or ridiculous.

“The Peanut Butter Falcon” is an American myth unlike any we’ve seen in years. There are pieces of “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and Huck Finn

This is what a true American odyssey looks like.

here for sure, but there’s also a timelessness. The characters in this movie are poor and struggling, but they’re also searching for something to connect them to the deeper world at large.

They’re looking for safety and family, but don’t know how to ask for the things that can save them.

I’ve always said the most important thing about movies is that they exist to teach humanity empathy and to show each other the things that bind

us together in our everyday struggles to find peace and love. A movie like this can do that and will do that for everyone who gives it a chance. This movie right here is why I write about motion pictures in the first place. It’s all love, if we know how to let it find us.

ometimes a movie makes you feel so good and so attuned to the human race that it’s easy to overlook the flaws. It seems like we’re more divided now than ever, and even things that everyone used to agree on are able to court some level of controversy. A few weeks ago, I posted a meme on Facebook dehumanizing Nazis and got unfriended over it. I figured that was one thing that we could all agree on since we fought a war over it and everything, but apparently not.

Enter “The Peanut Butter Falcon,” a movie so damn sweet and good natured that I bet it could save the world. It even takes an actor who was basically the punchline of a joke a few years ago and instantly shows that he’s a bottomless well of charisma destined to rise to the top one more time. Art imitates life in the most beautiful ways.

“The Peanut Butter Falcon” tells the story of Zak (Zack Gottsagen) an orphan with Down syndrome who runs away from the nursing home he lives in to follow his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. Zak eventually runs into Tyler (Shia LaBeouf) who’s on the run from guys he robbed and screwed over. At the same time, Eleanor (Dakota

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME: Marvel is fairly unstoppable at this point, so this new entry in the “Spider-Man” franchise could have Peter Parker sitting on camera reading “Twilight” and it would still make a billion dollars.

GOOD BOYS: This is basically “Superbad” but with tweens, which means the filthy language and situations are even funnier.

By Jared Rasic harmless like Go Fish or Old Maid, but if the game is Hide and Seek, then the family must find Grace before dawn and sacrifice her to their creepy ass benefactor or something terrible will supposedly happen.

As much fun as it is watching a badass woman taking on a bunch of clueless rich folk, the real joy of “Ready or Not” is not knowing whether something is really going to happen at dawn. The instructions have been passed down through generations, so the family patriarch, Tony (a perfect Henry Czerny), and the matriarch, Becky (Andie MacDowell), don’t have the slightest clue if they’ll just drop dead or if nothing will happen at all. Having the extra bite of not knowing whether the family is just evil or whether they’re crazy and evil is delightful.

“Ready or Not” looks great and has perfect performances, a luscious score and had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The only area in which the film falters is the script, which takes a few too many easy jokes and doesn’t use the themes of the film as smartly as it should have.

very once in a while, a premise comes along that’s so simple and elegant that it’s astounding it hasn’t been done before.

While there are definitely aspects of “Ready or Not” we’ve seen before, the film is executed with such gusto that it’s hard to really be mad at it over the dumb stuff. This movie is designed from top to bottom to do nothing more than wildly entertain an audience and, at that, it succeeds almost effortlessly.

Soon-to-be massive movie star Samara Weaving plays Grace, a young woman who has just married Alex Le Domas, the prodigal son of a massively rich board game empire. Alex and Grace are married at the Le Domas estate, as tradition dictates they must—but there’s also another tradition that’s a little stranger than needing something borrowed or blue.

At midnight on their wedding night, Grace must draw a card from a mysterious box left by the family benefactor several generations earlier. On the card is written a randomly selected game the entire family must play right away. It could be something totally

The family that slays together, stays together.

A film in which the central conceit is that the rich and powerful are sacrificing the poor in order to stay rich and powerful could have had a lot to say about class struggle, and could have been a darkly ironic think piece, but this one never goes far enough. A premise like that can be mined for some truly intelligent horror, but “Ready or

Not” is pure popcorn instead, a movie that goes down easy without leaving much to savor afterward.

A cool summer and fear of wildfires have contributed to a slow rafting season

By Rylan Boggs Rylan Boggs

BEND’S LOCAL INDEPENDENT OUTDOOR RETAILER

last summer… and we’re seeing the corresponding results.”

The cooler weather in June and July is thought to be responsible for some of the decreased trip numbers in early summer, said Brian Sykes, owner of Bend-based Ouzel Outfitters.

“When it’s raining, or it’s miserable, the phones aren’t ringing, said Sykes.

“There’s a direct correlation there.”

The U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management release regular reports on river usages.

“I expect to see a drop this year in overall use on the Deschutes River,” Sykes said. Worries over wildfires and smoke have affected booking numbers as well, he said. “There is a concern over forest fires, or the perception of forest fires, that make people not want to go rafting.”

Reports of wildfires often make people hesitant to go out on the river, for fear of river closures and poor air quality. This year, a more than 13,000-acre fire near Canyonville, Oregon, caused apprehension among those who are booking rafting trips, Sykes said.

“It’s a big impact, it’s up there with drought,” Sykes said. “If we’re going into summer and the news is full of stories about drought, that affects a lot of business.”

Sykes said he has seen numbers for multi-day trips on the Rogue River in southern Oregon fall, as well as single-day trips on the Deschutes and McKenzie Rivers. The company depends heavily on multi-day trips and less so on single-day trips on the McKenzie, Deschutes and Umpqua rivers, according to Sykes.

afting companies in the Bend area are seeing fewer trips booked this summer. Many attribute the decrease to cooler weather in the area and concern about possible trip cancellations due to forest fires.

Tim Thornton, operations manager at River Drifters, a Maupin-based service offering trips throughout Oregon and Washington, said while business has been steady due to return customers and camps using River Drifters’ service, he’s noticed far fewer people on the Deschutes River, a mainstay of local raft guides.

Thornton attributes it partially to the unseasonal temperatures in the area.

“Cooler weather definitely plays a role,” he said. The difference has been noticeable on the rivers, as well. Thornton estimated seeing 30 to 40% fewer boaters on the Deschutes than in previous years.

“As a whole, it’s been really slow,” Thornton said.

The average temperatures for the Bend area were 76.7 degrees in June 2018 and 87.7 degrees in July 2018. This year, the average was 76.4 degrees in June and 80.0 degrees in July, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“Rafting is a weather-dependent business and there is typically a direct correlation with the number of raft bookings and the forecast high temperature of the day,” said Drew Jackson, director of marketing & communications at Sun Country Tours— owned by Powdr, which also owns Mt. Bachelor ski resort. “This summer, so far, has been considerably cooler than

Nathan Wren guides a raft through Wapinitia, a Class 3 rapid on the Deschutes River, Aug. 5.

“Being 20% down on day trips would not be a huge deal if we weren’t 40% down on our big multi-day Rogue trips,” Sykes said. “The Rogue is our bread and butter. I’ve got to put 100 people on a Deschutes day trip to equal a 20-person Rogue trip.”

While the decreased numbers are noteworthy, Sykes said he’s not overly concerned. Owning a rafting company comes with its share of ups and downs—and he’s seen both worse and better years.

The effects of wildfire on tourism in the state are hardly limited to the Bend area. The Southern Oregon Visitor

Smoke Survey found that visitors to the state have accepted that wildfire and smoke is the “new norm” for southern Oregon and that it has dramatically affected the tourism industry. The report, created by the Southern Oregon University Research Center, said wildfires and smoke in 2018 cost the Oregon Shakespeare Festival roughly $2 million in lost revenue due to canceled or impacted performances, as well as causing a 14% decline in visitors to Crater Lake National Park. Southern Oregon outdoor visitors are more impacted by wildfire and smoke, and more likely to cancel trips, the report said.

Houston… No, Sacramento: We Have a Problem

W O R L D

WE REPAIR ANY SMART PHONE OR TABLET

If you haven’t seen any monarch butterflies this season, here’s why

By Jim Anderson

Follow us on Instagram @sourceweekly

The scarcity of narrowleaf milkweed, shown here, has grounded the migration of butterflies.

Then, just this year, after finding no monarchs on the monument during the annual survey, I hit the panic button; “Houston, we have a problem!”

A friend who is an exceptional entomologist, and once a staff member for the invertebrate conservation organization, Xerces Society, was on the survey. She provided what I believe is the answer to why there are no monarchs at Lava Beds this year, and why the population never regained its numbers after the wildfire of summer 2008: the monarch breeding habitat in Coastal and Central California was/is going downhill and the native milkweed is dying off, halting the monarchs from producing butterflies to continue their northern migration in spring.

The monarchs’ annual migration is a widely-known phenomenon — particularly the eastern populations that fly to Mexico and back north to Canada. In the western U.S., over 1 million monarchs from Arizona to Washington and north into British Columbia fly to more than 200 groves along the California coast each fall.

The butterflies mate, leave their overwintering sites in spring and fly eastward to California’s Central Valley, the Sierra Nevada foothills and north to Oregon, Washington and British Columbia in search of milkweeds on which to lay their eggs.

However, past and recent annual counts of overwintering monarchs on the California coast have revealed significant population declines. For example, in 1997, Natural Bridges State Beach near Santa Cruz had an estimated 120,000 monarchs. In 2009, only 1,300 butterflies overwintered. This past season showed an alarming loss of 95% of overwintering California monarchs.

This loss is reportedly due to urban and agricultural development and the

application of herbicides in croplands, pastures and roadsides. The protection and restoration of native plant communities in these areas is critical to reversing this trend.

We must place stronger controls on the use of herbicides, especially those neonicotinoids that are so deadly to every living invertebrate. Also set aside all the native milkweed locations as monarch conservation areas and make sure there’s enough water allocated to their survival.

As an example, the state of Iowa has begun the Iowa Monarch Conservation Strategy, which seeks to establish approximately 480,00 to 830,000 acres of monarch habitat by 2038. The state’s habitat goals were released in March 2018 by the Mid-America Monarch Conservation Strategy, made up of 40 conservation organizations. If successful, Iowa’s strategy estimates 127 to 188 million new milkweed plants will be established throughout the state in the next 10 years.

Here in Central Oregon, many people, schools and groups have created monarch waystations that have solid plantings of milkweed and native wildflowers for nectaring. Watching how these conservation areas operate has shown positive proof that monarchs are prospering in their use. But with very few monarchs getting past Central California’s empty milkweed patches, the waystations will have few respondents to their invitation.

One of the heroes of my childhood, and still very important to my philosophy of living on this beautiful planet, is Aldo Leopold, who said: “We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” It is way past time to start doing that.

he title of this piece was a common statement back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, when NASA was doing all it could to place men and machinery in space.

It also became a common statement for all kinds of problems in our society— and now I use it to bring attention to a problem that people in Central Oregon cannot cure: the lack of migrating monarch butterflies in spring.

My wife, Sue, and I just returned from an event we have been a part of for over five years: helping with the annual butterfly survey at Lava Beds National Monument in Northern California, just south of Klamath Falls.

In fact, it was Sue who started the interest in keeping track of butterflies of Lava Beds. We were regular visitors there when she obtained monarch butterfly tags from the University of Toronto back in the early ’90s. Our kids were just the right age to start working on butterflies, and that long-legged eldest son of ours, Reuben, could outrun and net the fastest butterfly on the monument.

In those days, Lava Beds was THE place to see monarchs. The native narrowleaf milkweed on the monument and the adjacent U.S. Fish and Wildlife refuge was/is the perfect food source for the monarch caterpillars, and native wildflowers for nectaring were very abundant. Most winters delivered plenty of water in the form of snow, and in summer, thunderstorms added moisture.

We came to know all this quite by accident. As we were slowly rounding a curve on the refuge touring road, our son Caleb, who was then about 6 years old, suddenly announced, “I gotta go pee!” I came to a quick stop, and when I took him to a place where he could get the job done, we noticed monarchs flitting about the blossoms of a plant we had never seen before.

When we went on to Lava Beds, we found hundreds of the same, which we discovered were narrowleaf milkweeds.

Years later, a lightning storm hit the monument, resulting in a wildfire that destroyed much of the monarch breeding habitat. It took several years for the milkweed to regenerate. In spite of the recovery, many of the plants with larvae on them along monument roads were being mowed down for “weed removal.”

Butterfly people pleaded with the road maintenance crew to stop mowing alongside the pavement. The summer rain runoff from the pavement was supplying the needed moisture for the milkweeds, which monarchs were utilizing to raise new butterflies.

However, even with the cooperation of the road maintenance crew to raise the sickle bar and leave the milkweeds alone, the monarchs didn’t recover their numbers.

By following the community land trust model, Kôr uses funding from grants and donations to acquire land and build homes for those who otherwise couldn’t afford the opportunity.

KĂ´r, in collaboration with Housing Works of Central Oregon, is behind a new development in northeast Bend called KĂ´razĂłn, a small cottage community.

They’ve recently broken ground and have begun construction on five zero-energy homes. These houses will be 1,100 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Homes will be sold to Bend residents who meet income requirements and qualify for a mortgage. One home will be offered at market value for those at median income and four homes will be for low-income and very low-income qualifiers.

The application process is underway for the Kôrazón community and will close on Sept. 23. The selection will be done by lottery and applicants will be notified by Sept. 27. Interested parties must sign up for an information session to apply and review the requirements and recommendations. All the information can be found on Kôr’s website: korlandtrust.org/projects/korazon/.

KĂ´r Community Land Trust is setting precedent and laying the groundwork for a sustainable housing program.

Through tireless effort, substantial community support and perseverance, the Kôr organization is leading the way for many others to follow.

T

he increased cost of living has infiltrated every aspect of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s livesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at the gas pump, the grocery store, heating or cooling housesâ&#x20AC;Ś the list goes on.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten very expensive to provide just the basics. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that affordable and attainable housing is a major obstacle for many Central Oregonians, too. In July, the median price of a home in Bend set another record high at $470,000. Home ownership continues to be a goal that is seemingly out of reach for so many.

Is there a solution to this crisis, and is anybody doing anything about it? The answer is yes. Two Bend locals have turned a longtime vision into reality that addresses both affordability and sustainability. Amy Warren, who has a degree in energy systems engineering from Oregon State University-Cascades, studied net-zero homes and realized we can meet the growing housing needs as a society by reducing our ecological footprint as individuals. Warren met with longtime friend Jason Offutt, who owns Shelter Studio, a local residential design firm, to discuss her innovative net-zero housing ideas.

Offutt was supportive of the net-zero concept but insisted that any project they undertook would prioritize affordability as well. At that time, in 2015, land prices were rising quickly in Bend and the two faced an immediate hurdle: how to avoid passing on the high land cost to buyers.

After more research and brainstorming, Warren and Offutt formed KĂ´r Community Land Trust with the goal of building low-energy homes using a model that emphasized shared resourcesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;starting with the land under the homes.

Charlie Brawn If a guy is trying to amp up his

attractiveness by working out, what areas of the body should he focus on?

What do women notice and want? And how much of that can I get without any kind of surgery or dangerous potions?

—Office Bod Women seem to go for the body shape that evolutionary psychologists Rebecca Burch and Laura Johnsen refer to as “Captain Dorito.” This describes the golden triangle seen in cartoonishly masculinized male superhero bodies: broad shoulders leading down into a small tight waist and butt.

As for why women might have evolved to prefer this body type, evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains in “Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind” that ancestral women were obviously better off with a “physically formidable” partner, able to protect them and their children. The inner biochemical landscape of physical formidability is high testosterone. Accordingly, Buss notes that, in men, high testosterone is associated with a very masculine body and facial features (like a square jaw and more pronounced cheekbones).

Noting that high levels of testosterone compromise the immune system, Buss cites psychologist Victor S. Johnston’s observation that only males who are very healthy can “afford” to produce high levels of testosterone during their development. The bodies of less healthy males need to suppress T production so they can hang on to the limited immune resources they have.

“If Johnston’s argument is correct,” Buss adds, women’s preference for masculine features is “a preference for a healthy male.” And interestingly, in nations where overall health is poor, women show an especially strong preference for more masculine faces. The same goes for women who are more easily yucked out by cues to pathogen-causing diseases—substances and things that could contain infectious microorganisms, like poo, sexual fluids, and dead bodies.

As for you, when you hit the gym, your areas of focus should be your shoulders, arms, and butt. However, you should do whole-body workouts, too, lest you end up pairing superhero pecs with broomstick thighs and calves.

Even if you’re built like a paper cut and can’t bulk up a lot, just looking strong, especially in the essential areas,

is a step in the right direction. And unfortunately, yes...the formidability thing has to result from physical workouts— tempted as you might be to skip the gym and, like somebody toting an umbrella on a cloudy day, go into the grocery store whistling and swinging a machete.

NotMyagirlfriends Good Lurk and I have had this

experience numerous times: A guy who’s interested in one of us will suddenly stop texting us but then reappear a few months later liking our social media posts. This just happened to me. It’s about three months since he vanished, and he’s suddenly all up in my Instagram.

Why do guys do this?

—Annoyed Amy Alkon You almost wish the guy would greet you honestly: “‘Sup, Plan B?!”

This guy might’ve initially been interested in you. However, chances are you eventually became what evolutionary psychologists like Joshua Duntley call a “backup mate” (basically the dating-and-mating version of a spare tire or the vice president).

Duntley’s work suggests humans evolved to identify and cultivate backup mates so we wouldn’t be left high and dry for long if our main boo died or ran off with the hot neighbor.

I know...so romantic. That said, it isn’t wrong to have backup mates. Research

by Duntley and his colleagues points to many or most of us having them, though we’re often not aware of it.

The thing is, this guy’s disappearing and then sliding back into your life with likes on some of your Instagram posts, is a big red flag—a big red sequined flag with cop flashers on top. Character is revealed in how people behave when they feel they have nothing to gain from someone. Maybe this guy got the hots for some other woman and the lukewarms for you. Or maybe he just got busy. Whatever the reason, it takes minimal effort to make a kind exit—even saying, “I’ve got a lot going on right now, and I need to take a break from talking.”

When someone shows themselves to be a jerk, you may want to broom them out of even the edges of your life. This is clickably easy on Instagram, thanks to the block function.

Blocking a guy like this should be a wise preemptive measure, considering his idea of good manners is probably prefacing the 2 a.m. “I’m horny!” text with a few likes on photos of your kitten in a tinfoil conspiracy hat.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Shogun is a best-

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran athlete Mickey Mantle is in Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame. He had a spectacular 18-year career, winning the Most Valuable Player Award three times, playing in 12 World Series, and being selected to the All-Star team 16 times. So it’s astounding that he played with a torn ligament in his knee for 17 years, according to his biographer Jane Leavy.

She quoted an orthopedic surgeon who said that Mantle compensated for his injury with “neuromuscular genius.” I’m thinking that in the next few weeks you’re in a position to accomplish an equivalent of Mantle’s heroic adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people who belong to the Church of Satan neither believe in nor worship Satan. (They’re atheists, and don’t believe in the supernatural.) I think a comparable principle is true for many rightwing fundamentalist Christians. Their actions and words are replete with bigotry, hard-heartedness, materialism, and selfishness: so contrary to what the real Jesus Christ taught that they in effect don’t believe in or worship Jesus Christ.

I mention this, Scorpio, in hope of inspiring you to take inventory of whether your stated ideals are reflected in the practical details of how you live your life. That’s always an interesting and important task, of course, but it’s especially so for you right now. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to purge any hypocrisy from your system and get your actual behavior in close alignment with your deepest values.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s the right time for you to create a fresh mission statement and promotional campaign. For inspiration, read mine: “My column ‘Free Will Astrology’ offers you a wide selection of realities to choose from. With 4,212 years of dedication to customer service (over the course of my last 13 incarnations), I’m a reliable ally supporting your efforts to escape your oppressive conditioning and other people’s hells.

My horoscopes come with an ironclad guarantee: If the advice you read is wrong, you’re under no obligation to believe it. And remember: a panel of 531 experts has determined that ‘Free Will Astrology’ is an effective therapy for your chronic wounds and primordial pain. It is also dramatic proof that there is no good reason to be afraid of life.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here are good questions for you to meditate on during the next four weeks. 1. How can you attract resources that will expand your mind and your world? 2. Are you bold enough to reach out to wise sources and provocative influences that could connect you with useful tricks and practical treasures? 3. What interesting lessons can you stir up as you explore the mercurial edges, skirt the changeable boundaries, journey to catalytic frontiers, and make pilgrimages to holy hubbubs? 4. How best can you encourage lyrical emotion over polished sentimentality? Joyous idealism over astringent zealotry? Exuberant integrity over formulaic kindness?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “It is the beginning of wisdom when you recognize that the best you can do is choose which rules you want to live by,” wrote author Wallace Stegner, “and it’s persistent and aggravated imbecility to pretend you can live without any.” That will be an excellent meditation for you during the coming weeks. I trust you are long past the time of fantasizing you can live without any rules. Your challenge now is

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Given the astrological omens that will symbolize your personal story in the coming weeks and months, I think Piscean author Nikos Kazantzakis articulated the perfect prescription for you. I invite you to interpret his thoughts to fit your circumstances. “We’re going to start with small, easy things,” he wrote. “Then, little by little we shall try our hand at the big things. And after that, after we finish the big things, we shall undertake the impossible.” Here’s an additional prod from Kazantzakis: “Reach what you cannot.”

DOWNTOWN BEND

MUSIC - GOURMET FOOD - FINE ART HARVEST MARKET - KIDS - FAMILY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Here are examples of activities I recommend you try in the coming days. 1. Build a campfire on the beach with friends and regale each other with stories of your most interesting successes. 2. Buy eccentric treasures at a flea market and ever thereafter refer to them as your holy icons. 3. Climb a hill and sit on the grass as you sing your favorite songs and watch the moon slowly rise over the eastern horizon. 4.

Take naps when you’re “not supposed to.” 5. Sneak into an orchard at night and eat fruit plucked just moments before. 6. Tell a beloved person a fairy tale in which he or she is the hero.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The hardiest creature on the planet may be the bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans . It can endure exposure to radiation, intense cold, dehydration, acid, and vacuum. I propose we make it your power creature for the coming weeks. Why? Not because I expect you’ll have to deal with a lot of extreme conditions, but rather because I think you’ll be exceptionally robust, both physically and psychologically.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to succeed at demanding challenges that require you to be in top form, now is a good time to do it. P.S. Deinococcus radiodurans is colloquially referred to as Conan the Bacterium, borrowing from the spirit of the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, who is renowned for his strength and agility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the yearly cycle of many Geminis, retreating into a state akin to hibernation makes sense during the end of August and the first three weeks of September. But since many of you are high-energy sophisticates, you often override your body’s signals. And then nature pushes back by compelling you to slow down.

The result may be a rhythm that feels like constantly taking three steps forward and two steps backward. May I suggest a different approach this year? Would you consider surrendering, even slightly, to the invitation to relax and recharge?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you decide to travel to a particular place via hot air balloon, you must be prepared for the possibility that your route will be indirect. At different altitudes, the wind may be blowing in different directions: toward the east at a hundred feet high, but toward the southwest at two hundred feet. The trick for the pilot is to jockey up and down until finding a layer that’s headed toward the desired destination. I see your life right now as having a metaphorical resemblance to this riddle. You have not yet discovered the layer that will take you where you want to go. But I bet you will soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Considering how bright you have been burning since the Flame Angels designated you as the Hottest Cool Person of the Month, I hesitate to urge you to simmer down. But I must. Before there’s a meltdown in your vicinity, please lower your thermostat. Not a lot. Just a little. If you do that, everyone will continue to see your gleaming charisma in the best possible light. But don’t you dare extinguish your blaze. Don’t apologize for your brilliant shimmer. The rest of us need your magical radiance.

Homework: What do you want most for the person or animal you love best?

selling novel about an Englishman who transforms himself into a samurai warrior in seventeenth-century Japan. Written by James Clavell, it’s over 1,100 pages long. Clavell testified that the idea for the story sprang up in him when he read one line in his daughter’s school book: “In 1600 an Englishman went to Japan and became a samurai.” I suspect it’s highly likely you will soon encounter a seed like that, Virgo: a bare inspiration that will eventually bloom into a Big Thing.

Deschutes County Commissioners add a measure to the 2020 ballot, and debate fighting LUBA on rule changes

By Jeremy Dickman

A

t the Barnes Sawyer Room, where the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners holds public meetings, anytime the issue of marijuana is on the agenda visitors will find anti-marijuana activists staring down speakers, nodding solemnly and doing their darnedest to guide the Board in stamping out the scourge of marijuana that creeps like a bad dream toward their horseback-riding grounds.

If that’s their goal, nothing in the form of recent events suggests they’re failing.

On Aug. 19, the Board approved $700,000 in grant funds for the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office so it can police black-market marijuana grows. This is roughly a $200,000 annual increase compared to the last time they requested funds, at the beginning of 2018.

Within a few minutes of that issue, the Board took up officially adopting a county ordinance to “opt out” of allowing any more marijuana businesses in rural Deschutes County. But before he let the Board vote to adopt the ordinance (all three commissioners eventually did), Commission Chair Phil Henderson gave a soliloquy about his desire to continue to fight at the state level to have the Board’s revised regulations approved by the Land Use Board of Appeals.

“This whole attack by the Farm Bureau that we’re not adopting reasonable regulations,” Henderson said, trailing off a bit with apparent frustration. “Our rules are reasonable. I’m not afraid to let LUBA decide that.”

Some background: The County approved new marijuana regulations in the fall of 2018, revising its 2016 regulations. The Farm Bureau, among others, then appealed to LUBA, and the county withdrew the proposed changes. More meetings were held, the anti-marijuana T-shirts filled the gallery, and the Board took a hard right toward opting out of marijuana completely, scheduling a new vote in November 2020 (per state law, the county cannot opt out without first giving a vote to the people). Basically, the Board folded beneath the weight of the anti-weed rabble in its meeting room.

Yet Henderson still doesn’t want to abandon the legal fight at LUBA. Commissioner Tony DeBone once again disagreed, stating that the distraction of fighting to approve regulations at LUBA, even as the county is attempting to end new marijuana businesses entirely, would be perceived as a contradiction.

Commissioner Patti Adair broke the tie, siding with DeBone in voting to shelve the LUBA fight and only revisit the regulations if the county votes to opt in.

It was difficult not to sense a tone of bitterness in Henderson’s voice due to the Farm Bureau’s LUBA petition that attacked the regulations. The Farm Bureau, after all, had participated in the drafting of the rules back in 2015 and 2016. Why would it not only object to the 2018 rules, but also the original regulations drafted in 2016?

DeBone seemed to have an answer.

“The relationship with the growers who want to be in the sunlight has changed since I started this process,” he said. DeBone was referring to recent applicant denials by the Board that he has viewed as spurious.

In one exchange more than a month ago, while debating whether to approve a specific marijuana farm, DeBone metaphorically threw up his hands and told both of the other Commissioners that he would have no more to say. This seemed to be an echo of that frustration.

“I was intending on having support for those folks that want to work in this regulated system,” DeBone said. “We’ve seen some of those [people] denied.”

Then Henderson asked: “Do you think there’s any growers that actually like any of the regulations? … I haven’t heard that.” Henderson said.

“Like” the regulations? Business owners aren’t typically overjoyed at paying a $1,500 application fee. They don’t beam at a bill of $10,000 from lawyers. They’re not dancing for joy over $5,000 odor-control devices.

Marijuana entrepreneurs suffer real financial consequences from all regulations, running the gamut from replacing an odor-control device, to abandoning an offer on an ideal piece of property because the required setbacks are not employable. But businesses still follow these rules and jump through the hoops, because the peace of mind and pride in running a legal business where their activity is sanctioned by the local government is worth the costs.

That, of course, was the point behind DeBone’s response.

“I have,” DeBone said. “They don’t say the words ‘I like these regulations,’ but they want clarity so they know what path to go down.”

Usually, two pro-business Republicans like Henderson and DeBone don’t disagree so vehemently about government regulations—unless the rabble in the gallery is loud enough.
