This past week, as my family and I sat down for our Thanksgiving dinner, the biggest topic of conversation, no matter what side of the political aisle people stood on, was whether people in the state would elect to call the cops on neighbors who appeared to be violating the edict to keep groups to six people or fewer. Some were appalled that they could be cited for such a thing. Some were just tired of it all. In the end, it appears that the fears of neighbors turning against neighbors in droves was not the reality. You can read about what happened in the local area in this week’s News section.

Meanwhile, there’s a rule in my house (while not having the serious implications that larger gatherings could have in relation to COVID-19) that I try to enforce with as much vigor: No Christmas music until after turkey day. I assure you, that was one rule around which people were definitely out of compliance. Unauthorized gatherings of “Silent Night” and “O Christmas Tree” were met with copious warning signs and fervent educating of the offending parties—but no fines were issued.

But now that it’s officially “holiday season,” we hope you enjoy Part One of our two-part Gift Guide; this one, focused on the wonderful notion of Comfort— something we’re all looking for this year.

proposal circulating in the Oregon legislature is intended to support renters who continue to struggle with paying rent during the ongoing COVID-19 shutdowns, while also offering some financial relief to landlords— some of whom have not seen payments from tenants for the better part of a year.

According to data provided by Portland State University, roughly 34.8% of Oregonians owed unpaid rent as of September—a staggering statistic to accompany a staggering global crisis.

Under the Rental Housing Stabilization Proposal, dubbed Legislative Concept 18, a fund would be established to compensate landlords for up to 80% of the back rent they are owed. (As a consequence, they’d have to forego the other 20%.) Tenants, meanwhile, would need to submit a sworn affidavit saying they’re experiencing financial hardship due to the pandemic in order to qualify for the ongoing relief. Currently, tenants in Oregon do not have to offer any proof that they’ve been financially impacted in order to forego paying rent.

The topic should be addressed in an upcoming legislative session, before this growing crisis around housing becomes a catastrophe. Ironically, Gov. Kate Brown will need to declare a “catastrophic disaster” in the state before she can convene yet another emergency session of the legislature to deal with this issue. Time is of the essence, since the current eviction moratorium expires Dec. 31.

Whether you’re a tenant, a landlord or a person who owns their own home, the issue of unpaid rents is a problem of which we are just beginning to see the effects. A bill like this, which accounts for renters as well as landlords, is needed. Tenants, landlords and the associations that represent them should see it as necessary.

With the current “freeze” staying in place in Deschutes and 20 other counties in the state for the time being, unemployment is going to rise; tenants will continue to struggle to pay rent and landlords will have to keep riding out the challenges of paying a mortgage without the revenue for it. While some homeowners are out-of-state investors, others are middle-class people who bought a second

home or an apartment complex to secure their retirement—financial security that during the pandemic is evaporating.

Banks, throughout this crisis, have offered some mortgage relief for landlords, but eventually those forbearances offered by banks are going to come due—and not at the end of the life of the loan. It’s not yet clear whether the renters who have obtained some temporary relief from paying rent will be able to pay back those monies in the time allotted them, and if they can’t, expect the housing crisis that Oregon has seen over the past several years to only get worse. Relief needs to continue, not expire, in the midst of what are proving to be the toughest months of this pandemic.

Renters have seen some of their concerns around skyrocketing rents and unfair evictions addressed over the past year or so, by way of new rent control measures passed by the Oregon legislature. Renters have been buoyed by a sense of security in a state with an increasingly insecure housing landscape. In our ongoing housing crisis, supporting renters with a little more housing security is a strong move. Now, however, it’s also important to recognize that in this deepening financial crisis not all burdens experienced in this pandemic can be placed at the doorsteps of landlords without risking foreclosures. As a state we do not need to look back very far into our history to see the ravages the Great Recession’s housing mismanagement caused. If we want to mitigate future disasters, Oregon needs to shore up both renters and landlords as we work through this unprecedented time.

It is time now for Gov. Brown to declare the catastrophic disaster that would allow the legislature to convene before the eviction moratorium expires—or we risk seeing families evicted and houses begin reverting to bank ownership just as winter begins. Brown said in a press conference Dec. 1 that the federal government needs to act to offer federal relief—but with months of inaction, we are not holding our breaths that Congress will act in time. Should a declaration from Brown be forthcoming, we hope to see this proposal move from concept to passage in the legislaure—or risk seeing a wider economic fallout from the pandemic.

A FRIEND DIED IN THE ALLEY BEHIND RITE AID!

HOW MUCH SHOULD VACCINES COST? We’ve heard a lot of good news about coronavirus vaccines lately. From Moderna vaccine to the Pfizer vaccine to the Oxford vaccine, science is working, and help is on the way.

Since the start of the race for a COVID-19 vaccine, the U.S. government has funneled more than $10 billion in taxpayer dollars to pharmaceutical companies for a vaccine. The Moderna vaccine was 100% taxpayer funded; Moderna spent zero of its own dollars on it. Of the $2.5 billion it received, $1 billion initially funded the research and development and $1.5 billion was granted to secure doses in advance, with no guarantee that vaccines will be affordable.

Typically, taxpayers pay for about 80% of drug research. Almost every new drug begins with NIH-funded labs. The three main funding sources for pharmaceutical research are: National Institute for Health (NIH), University labs (often funded by taxpayers), and non-profit organizations like the Gates Foundation.

RE: PUSH TO EXTEND EVICTION MORATORIUM, NEWS, 11/26 Funny how there is no mention of interest-free property tax deferral for landlords. The state gets theirs, while landlords no longer have legal authority to collect rent, of which around 75% goes to pay for property taxes, property maintenance and management. If the 9+ months of rent moratorium does not constitute unlawful government seizure of property (rental income = property) under the 4th Amendment of the U.S. constitution, I don’t know what ever would.

Often the private drug firms enter the picture only after the public has paid for the development and clinical trials of new treatments.

No corporation owns the vaccines, yet. We need governments and multilateral organizations working together to direct as many companies and institutions as possible to produce and distribute the vaccines.

Local Cops Say They Received Just One Complaint about COVID Guidelines Adherence Over Thanksgiving Weekend WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / DECEMBER 3, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

City of Bend officials continue to favor voluntary compliance, but also deploy plainclothes Code Enforcement officers to businesses

By Ashley Moreno

E

arly concern about neighbors reporting on neighbors for violating COVID-19 restrictions over Thanksgiving and into the holiday season may fizzle out, following a quiet weekend.

According to Lt. Juli-Ann McConkey, public information officer for the City of Bend Police Department, police received just one complaint about COVID-related compliance over the Thanksgiving weekend, and they did not issue a citation. Likewise, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office had received no complaints about Thanksgiving gatherings as of Nov. 27. Ahead of the national holiday, state health officials had advised that no more than six people or two households gather together, to help reduce the spread of coronavirus.

Central Oregonians have thus far not engaged in copious reporting on homes or businesses violating mask and social distancing orders. From March 20 through Nov. 30, Bend PD reported receiving 209 complaints, with none resulting in a citation or fine. (Police did help city Code Enforcement officers issue one citation that resulted in a $100 fine.) Generally, the Police Department enforces masking guidelines regarding individuals and responds to calls to the non-emergency line with concerns that customers are not wearing masks

at businesses. Other business-related complaints are handled by City of Bend Code Enforcement.

“When we receive a call for service regarding someone not wearing a mask in a business, we respond to the call, try and locate the individual, educate the individual, and offer a mask to them,” said McConkey in an email interview.

“If the individual refuses to wear the mask, then they will be asked to leave the business.”

Following a special meeting back in July, the Bend City Council established a potential $100 fine for the first violation, a $250 fine for the second and a $500 fine for any subsequent violation of the Oregon Health Authority’s statewide Mask, Face Shield and Face Covering Guidance. The City Council recently updated its masking requirements at a Nov. 18 meeting, expanding enforcement efforts and establishing a new fine of up to $750 on businesses and organizations. Potential fines and general enforcement for individuals will remain the same. Enforcing the new changes will fall on Code Enforcement, which handles most enforcement regarding maskless customers or employees at businesses.

So far, enforcement has been complaint-driven. During the Nov. 18 City

Limited Outdoor Dining Allowed Under Updated COVID-19 Framework 25 Oregon counties—including Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson—face extended closures under Gov. Brown’s latest update

By Nicole Vulcan

C

entral Oregon’s Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties are in the “extreme” risk category in Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s new health and safety framework—meaning that for Central Oregon and much of the state, the lockdown that began as a Two-Week Freeze could very well stay in place longer than expected. State health officials took a look at case numbers Nov. 30 to determine risk categories following the freeze, scheduled to end Dec. 2.

The Governor and state health officials imposed the freeze Nov. 18, which shut down in-person dining and shuttered gyms, among other restrictions, in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Oregon. Positive COVID-19 cases in the state spiked throughout the month of November.

Under the new framework, counties can fall into one of four risk categories: lower, moderate, high and extreme risk.

Twenty-five of Oregon’s 36 counties fell

into the extreme category as of Dec. 1— meaning they won’t be reopening on the Dec. 2 target date set at the outset of the Two-Week Freeze, Brown said.

“Counties that are facing extreme risk of virus spread will need to continue with strict health and safety measures, similar to the Two-Week Freeze,” said Governor Brown in a Dec. 1 statement.

Counties remaining in the “extreme risk” category will be subject to ongoing restrictions, which are eased slightly from the restrictions under the initial freeze, but still keep many businesses closed: -Social and at-home gatherings with people outside one’s household will be limited to a maximum of six people, with a recommended limit of two households.

-Restaurants, bars, and other eating and drinking establishments will be limited to a maximum of 50 people

for outdoor dining only, with only six people per table. Takeout is strongly encouraged.

-Indoor recreation, fitness and entertainment establishments, including gyms, will remain closed; however, outdoor recreation, fitness, and entertainment activities, including outdoor gym activities, will be allowed, with a maximum limit of 50 people outdoors.

-Retail stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, and indoor and outdoor shopping centers and malls will be limited to a maximum of 50% of capacity, with curbside pick-up encouraged.

-Faith institutions, funeral homes, mortuaries and cemeteries will be limited to a maximum of 25% of capacity or 100 people indoors (whichever is smaller), or 150 people outdoors.

-Office workplaces will be required to utilize remote work to the maximum extent possible, with public-facing offices closed to the public.

-Personal services businesses will be allowed to continue to operate with health and safety measures in place.

-Long-term care facilities can allow limited outdoor visitation, following established health and safety protocols.

Patrick Allen, Director of the Oregon Health Authority, said Nov. 25 that Oregon is expecting to begin vaccinating people against COVID-19 as early as the end of December, starting with health care workers who work closely with people with the virus. The first round of doses is expected to vaccinate 30,000 people—though with some 300,000 health care workers in the state and a federal plan for distribution still in the works, it’s not yet clear how quickly the general public may see vaccines available, Allen said.

La ciudad refuerza la imposición de las condiciones de uso del cubre bocas en los comercios Escrito por Ashley Moreno, Traducido por Jéssica Sánchez-Millar Ashley Moreno

La teniente Juli-Ann McConkey, Oficial de Información Pública del Departamento de Policía de la ciudad de Bend, indicó que usualmente el código de cumplimiento (Code Enforcement) responde a las quejas sobre los clientes o empleados que no traen puesto el cubrebocas estando en los comercios.

El Departamento de Policía de Bend se encarga de las quejas relacionadas con el uso de cubrebocas en relación a personas, en donde los comercios llaman al número telefónico para casos que no sean de emergencia exponiendo así asuntos donde los clientes no están usan su cubrebocas. “Cuando recibimos una llamada relacionada con alguien que no trae puesto el cubrebocas en un establecimiento comercial, respondemos al llamado, tratamos de localizar a la persona, lo educamos y le ofrecemos un cubrebocas. Si la persona se rehusa a usar el tapabocas, se le pedirá salir del establecimiento”, esto comento por correo electrónico la teniente McConkey. Del 20 de marzo al 30 de noviembre, el Departamento de Policía recibió 209 quejas. El fin de

semana de acción de gracias recibieron una queja y no se emitió un citatorio.

De acuerdo con la teniente McConkey, hasta la fecha, el Departamento de Policía no ha emitido un citatorio, pero atendió el Código de Cumplimiento con una emisión que resulto en una multa de $100.

El aumento de refuerzo de cumplimiento de la ciudad se enfocará en los establecimientos comerciales, que generalmente dependerán de la aplicación del Código de Cumplimiento.

Durante la junta del Consejo Municipal del 18 de noviembre, James Goff, gerente de Aplicación del Código, explico como funciona actualmente la aplicación y como cambiará. Goff dijo que “Las quejas se presentan llamando a la línea directa de COVID con avisos de infracción proporcionados a los comercios en cuestión, junto con enlaces a todas las guías actuales relacionadas con COVID. Obviamente estamos haciendo esto porque lo que estamos tratando de establecer el cumplimiento voluntario. Los comercios que reciben más de una queja

son inspeccionados por lo menos tres veces para determinar si hay o no un incumplimiento. Si lo hay, se emite un citatorio específico para ese establecimiento comercial.”

El Código de Cumplimiento dejará atrás la denuncia basada en las quejas, realizando así, dijo Goff, “inspecciones al azar de comercios reconocidos como problemáticos.

Basados en esas observaciones, se seguirán emitiendo avisos de incumplimiento a los infractores que cometen la falta por primera y citatorios serán emitidos si entran a un establecimiento comercial que ya haya sido advertido”

ras una reunión especial el mes de Julio, el Consejo Municipal de la ciudad de Bend estableció multas civiles por violar la guía estatal emitida por Oregon Health Authority (las Autoridades de Salud de Oregon) sobre el uso del cubre bocas, la cubierta protectora facial. Por lucir un rostro sin cubrebocas en un área pública o en un comercio, podría ser (y sigue seguir siendo) multado por $100 ante el primer incumplimiento, $250 por el segundo y $500 por cualquier incumplimiento subsecuente. El consejo requirió de una queja basada en la denuncia, con algunas medidas enfocadas en lugares claves conocidos en donde se pensaba que el riesgo de transmisión fuera más alto. En la junta del Consejo Municipal del día 18 de noviembre, actualizarón esta política expandiendo así los esfuerzos de cumplimiento y el estableciendo una nueva multa de hasta $750 a comercios y organizaciones. Las posibles multas y el cumplimiento general en las personas seguirán siendo los mismos.

It’s been a year. The past 12 months have included divisive politics, devastating wildfires and a ruthless virus that has exposed breathtaking societal inequalities as it has cut lives short. Yet difficulties have a way of making our priorities clear. Families have grown closer (perhaps closer than we’d have liked!), we’ve found a renewed sense of civic duty and, at our best moments, discovered gratitude in the simple things. Thus this year’s local gift guide reflects our wish for you and your family, dear reader.

May your holiday season be filled with comfort and joy.

T

uesday marked the start of the inaugural Sisters Folk Festival Winter JAM Fundraiser. The idea first came when the organization was unable to hold its traditional instrument raffle during its usually scheduled multi-day Folk Festival. This year, fundraising for the nonprofit is particularly important following a slew of show cancellations and postponements due to COVID-19 and the Oregon wildfires. Having had to move their My Own Two Hands art auction to an online format earlier this year, the Winter JAM ended up a perfect combination of all of SFF’s usual fundraising efforts.

The JAM includes an online treasure chest of items to bid on auction-style— including one-of-a-kind instruments, a getaway to Mexico, a night out in Sisters and plenty of other exciting packages. Probably the coolest items, at least in this music lover’s opinion, are personal concerts (both virtual and in-house) from various SFF alums like Thunderstorm Artis, Judith Hill and more.

“We decided to combine the auction and raffle with our end-of-the-year giving campaign and kick it off on Giving Tuesday, so it really does bring a lot of elements together into one big fundraiser,” said Executive Director Crista Munro.

“We know so many organizations are hurting this year because of the pandemic, and we hope that people will remember their favorite performing arts organizations during this time of great uncertainty. Even though there are vaccines on the horizon, we are still a long ways from getting back to a ‘normal’ way of life that includes mass gatherings.”

SFF will host a free live-streamed event on Friday night through its website to properly celebrate the week-long

effort of fundraising. This will include a look into the organization and ahead to their plans for next year, along with performances from other awesome SFF alums. The list includes Le Vent Du Nord, John Craigie, Thunderstorm Artis, Judith Hill, Beth Wood, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Martyn Joseph, Kristen Grainger & True North Band, The Parnells and Jenner Fox. Not only is this a great lineup, but the cause and SFF sit close to the hearts of these musicians as well.

“We are honored to be a part of Sisters Folk Festival. It has become one of the iconic music festivals in the west, celebrating this undefinable, un-corralable music that resonates with people of all ages, backgrounds and identities,” said Kristen Grainger of the True North Band.

“The festival not only entertains, it builds community and connects us with each other in ways that remind us that life is good. Everyone really needs that reminder right now.”

Other than these sweet performances, Munro says this is a great way to get to know SFF more than one already might.

“Friday’s live stream is going to be such an amazing program. Of course it will be chock-full of fantastic performances, but there are also interviews with staff and our outgoing board chair, Sue Boettner, and a virtual tour of our facilities,” Munro added. “Our hope is that we can bring some light and joy into peoples’ homes during this very different holiday season.”

If you haven’t yet, there’s still plenty of time to support SFF this week, as the fundraiser runs through Saturday, December 5 at 6pm. Head to sistersfolkfestival.org for more info.

CULTURE

After the Election, a Focus on Healing for Communities of Color

By Nicole Vulcan

T

he cold weather and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic are forcing people inside and into their homes as winter sets in—a far cry from the hustle and bustle of summer, when tourists continued to come to Central Oregon, and, ahead of the 2020 election, protests and demonstrations were common locally and nationally. With the presidential election behind us, some are looking forward to a quieter period, focused less on divisive politics. Others are seeing the next chapter as one in which local communities of color can reflect back on the happenings of this past year, while also looking forward to advancing some important conversations.

For Central Oregon’s Love Your Neighbor project, this post-election season is centered on that latter goal of fostering healing and unity, following a period of intense vitriol and divisiveness on the streets and on social media. The Love Your Neighbor project was founded in February by Erika McCalpine, business program lead at Oregon State University-Cascades, along with me and the Source Weekly.

On Mon., Dec. 7, Love Your Neighbor will host an online discussion titled “Bringing Healing to Communities of Color Post Election.” The panel discussion, aimed at fostering conversation and solidarity for Central Oregon’s people of color, will include a number of community activists and mental health professionals, along with an expert viewpoint from an Oregon State University professor of

sociology, Dwaine Plaza, PhD, who will speak on “cancel culture” and its effects on people and communities. McCalpine will moderate the panel and said her hope is to help the various community members who are doing varying and equally important work be able to better work together, without placing one another under a microscope when they do things differently.

“I believe that activist groups, nonprofits dedicated to advancing communities of color and consultants that work in organizations all have a role in the community. I think there are some ways we can all work together, but there will be times when we cannot,” McCalpine told the Source.

“There are some strengths among us, and we have to learn what those are so we can maximize them for the collective good.

We have to think about what we can do elevate each other and not try to tear each other down.”

McCalpine, who founded a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Lab at OSU-Cascades this summer, said she received some criticism for participating in the City of Bend’s public service announcement just before the election, which encouraged people to protect the vote.

“One thing I heard loud and clear was that I always have a platform,” she said. “I thought about how I could use that platform and the DEI Lab to elevate others, and the Central Oregon Diversity Summit (formerly the Central Oregon BILAPOC Summit) is how I plan to do that. The goal of the Summit is to provide education to

Teafly Peterson

the community at large, but also to give local activist groups and non-profits that advance communities of color a place to say who they are, what their mission is, and their goals. While this isn’t all that can be done to bring us together, it is a start.”

McCalpine said she hopes the upcoming Love Your Neighbor event can provide tools to help people communicate their opinions in a more positive way.

The event takes place Mon., Dec. 7 from 6 to 8pm on the OSU-Cascades YouTube channel. Panelists include local activist Joanne Mina, therapist Judith Sadora, mental health professional and Bend City Councilor-elect Rita Schenkelberg, and artist, poet and community builder Jessica Amascual. People can register on Eventbrite, but registration is not required. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. More information is available at

the Facebook page of Love Your Neighbor, titled “Love Your Neighbor Bend, OR.” The Central Oregon Diversity Summit will be a virtual event held in the spring by the OSU-Cascades DEI Lab, in partnership with Central Oregon Community College. Among the programming, the Summit will include a handful of keynote speakers, along with an opportunity for community organizations that wish to present their mission, vision and goals to participants. Stay tuned in the Source for more details on that event.

Herbal Soups

Waiter, there’s a salad in my soup

By Ari LeVaux

ast summer, I bought a pile of bitter eggplant at the farmers market. I’d never heard of it, but the green, red, yellow and orange wrinkled spheres drew me in. The farmer, an immigrant from the Laotian mountains, and the advice she gave me, sealed the deal.

She recommended slicing two bitter eggplants in half and simmering them in a large kettle of water with pork. And dill leaf, she added.

“When should I add the dill?” I asked.

“Cook it or add it fresh at the end?”

“Both,” she said.

Cooking it with dill helps cover the extreme bitterness of the eggplant. Adding dill at the end so that it doesn't cook for very long adds additional kick.

My mom’s chicken soup is anything but bitter, and includes a lot of cooked dill. And I like to add some fresh at the end, too.

You’ve probably tried pho, the Vietnamese soup famously served alongside a plate of herbs, sprouts and other raw fixings. The better pho restaurants will serve a differently formulated garnish plate with each flavor of pho. Andrea Nguyen, author of the James Beard award-winning "The Pho Cookbook" (which I helped recipe test), is a connoisseur of this auxiliary salad plate.

“Fresh herbs add vibrant color, flavor and aroma to pho,” she told me.

“Whether it’s chopped cilantro in the bowl before the hot broth hits everything, or torn mint, Thai basil or culantro leaves added at the table, herbs are an essential part of the pho experience.” (Culantro is also known as sawtooth, a type of Vietnamese herb) Posole, the brothy Mexican corn chile soup, is a lovely winter soup, similarly finished with a plate of fresh herbs and strong-flavored veggies such as cilantro leaves, chopped onions, and sliced radish. Chicken Kaeng Om, a dish from the northern mountains of Thailand, calls for a strong and complex broth flavored with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric root and chicken. That rich flavor is elevated to new heights with the final infusion of raw basil, dill, kaffir lime leaf, thin-sliced cabbage and spring onion tops. Japanese nabemono, also known as sour beef hot pot with fresh herbs, meanwhile, gets finished with basil, cilantro, mint and serrano pepper.

In winter, growing herbs indoors can be an easy way to keep fresh local greenery in your life. My supermarket sells potted basil and other herbs in the produce section, ready to grow on your windowsill, to be plucked as needed and

added into your broth. And many of the vendors at my local farmers market sell herbs from heated greenhouses.

Herbs are full of oils and various oil-soluble aromatic compounds that disperse in the broth, permeating every sip and bite. Other raw vegetables like onions and peppers can similarly improve a broth. But not every herb or strong-flavored vegetable will be a winner in every bowl. The herbs and veggies you add to a soup should work together and with the broth. Dill may work in Mom’s chicken soup and bitter eggplant broth, but that doesn’t mean we want dill in the pho, where it would clash with the other flavors.

The easiest way to make herb soup is to get some broth, get some herbs, and start playing. Vegetables, meats, mushrooms, bones, and other soupy ingredients are allowed as well, just as long as the soup remains more brothy than chunky.

The best broth will always be homemade. Perhaps from the bones of a holiday carcass, or the bones from a rack of lamb. But there’s no shame in using bouillon, pre-made stock or simply your instant ramen of choice. From there, may the best herbs and aromatic veggies win.

sliced onions and jalapenos, a lime quarter and a pile of crunchy mung bean sprouts, along with hoisin and sriracha sauces in little packets. It was the best of all worlds: soup and salad, raw and cooked, wilderness and civilization.

During my Vegas run I also made a quick pilgrimage to Greenland Market in the Koreatown district, where I purchased some cutting-edge ramen, including Nongshim brand’s non-fried noodle soup with dried anchovy paste and Samyang brand Chewy Chewy Su Tah ramen, among others. I had also loaded up on fresh herbs for the cooler.

Thus, I was ready to cook herbal soup from scratch in my camp, with ingredients I cobbled together from my cooler. It turned out great.

Herbed Ramen Camping in southern Nevada last week, I made a trip Las Vegas, where I found a bowl of Oxtail Pho at a restaurant called Viet Noodle Bar. I got it to-go and brought it back to camp, where I re-heated the oxtail in the broth. Then I added the noodles and served it with the many garnishes: basil, cilantro,

Add an extra cup of water to the pot beyond what the ramen directions dictate. Add the flavor packets to the water and heat it on high. Add the carrots, mushrooms, tofu and noodles, and bring to a boil. Add the egg, cook for a minute and turn off the heat. Season with soy sauce, if necessary, and serve with cilantro leaves and jalapeno slices.

Serves 2 1 package high-end ramen 6 button mushrooms, sliced into quarters 1 carrot, chopped crudely 1 12-oz package of silken, non-refrigerated tofu, sliced into 1-inch cubes (one of these halves is probably enough) 1 egg Soy sauce, to taste 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced 1 bunch of cilantro, leaves stripped

The two-week freeze that began Nov. 18 is continuing in Central Oregon’s Deschutes and Jefferson counties, along with a number of other counties in the state—but with a relaxation of some rules. Under the current framework announced Dec. 1, restaurants can offer in-person dining for up to 50 people, but only outside. In the 21 counties remaining under the freeze, no in-person dining is allowed.

With some bars and restaurants erecting tents outside their buildings in order to offer some type of outdoor dining, it begs the question, at what point does a tent become an indoor space instead of an outdoor one? “‘Outdoor space’ means an openair space, which may have a temporary or fixed cover, such as an awning or roof, so long as the space has at least 75% of the square footage of its sides open for airflow,” explained Emily Freeland, environmental health specialist for Deschutes County Health Services. Under that definition, a tent with screens that allows air to flow in and out could be fully enclosed, while a tent with solid material wouldn’t cut it.

That definition of “inside” versus “outside” has been in place since the Phase II reopening guidelines were released earlier in the year, Freeland said in an email, with new guidelines specific to the current freeze expected to be released later this week.

SCREEN Poverty Porn

Hillbilly Elegy is an embarrassment

By Jared Rasic

kid and as an adult as he deals with his violent and drug-addicted mother, his sassy grannie Mamaw and his attempts to leave his Appalachian heritage behind so he can eventually become a Republican venture capitalist working for billionaire Peter Thiel. And sure, Glenn Close is stunning as Mamaw, but the film feels like it exists to perpetuate negative stereotypes of low-income rednecks while also making Vance feel better about cutting his losses and leaving that branch of his family back in the hills and hollers of Ohio.

I hated this movie. I knew I would, and I did. It’s poverty porn reinforcing “pull yourself up by your bootstrap” ideologies that promote stereotypes without illuminating them.

“Hillbilly Elegy” gave me pause, however. The pedigree is solid when you’ve got actors including Amy Adams and Glenn Close in front of the cameras and consummate journeyman Ron Howard directing, but the trailer left a sour taste in my movie mouth. Close and Adams were buried under so much unflattering make-up design and tacky costuming that they looked like characters from an SNL sketch about poor people. It appeared to be cultural tourism masquerading as an exposé on drug addiction and familial crisis in the Appalachian Mountains.

Based on the 2016 memoir by J.D. Vance, “Hillbilly Elegy” follows Vance as a

I hated this movie. I knew I would, and I did. It’s poverty porn reinforcing “pull yourself up by your bootstrap” ideologies that promote stereotypes without illuminating them. Vance comes across as a whiny and dull kid and a quick-to-anger and dull adult bordering on sociopathic. I don’t think the movie wanted me to actively root against him, but when the only fully realized performance is from Glenn Close as the whacky yet lovable grannie, all you’re left with are hollow platitudes and false equivalencies.

The film astoundingly fails to grapple with class, familial trauma,

The moment in the film that’s played as Vance’s biggest triumph is wrongheaded and ugly: He’s got a big job interview in the morning, but his mom OD’d on heroin and is getting out of the hospital. He can either stay with his mom and help her or make it to the interview… so he chooses to leave her in a shitty hotel room by herself. Inspirational music plays as he drives away from his tearful and detoxing mother.

How the film doesn’t manage to equate his desperation for this job as another form of addiction is just one more failure in a long list of them.

I wish I’d never seen this classist, sneering and hypocritical melodrama.

The socio-political context is made

invisible, ignoring the rot at the center of the lie that Vance is perpetuating for his own shameless self-interest.

This memoir isn’t him grappling with demons; instead it’s him bragging about how rough his life was in order to gaslight the community he abandoned in favor of being a venture capitalist. “Hillbilly Elegy” is just as ridiculous and embarrassing as “Cats,” but without the songs or unintentional laughter. Ugh. I should’ve listened to myself and avoided this completely.

Don’t be like me.

’m not naturally inclined to hate a movie. I think cynicism when it comes to sequels, remakes, adaptations and all that kind of stuff is pretty short sighted and meaningless. Ultimately, we can only judge a movie based on its content, not how it’s marketed or what ridiculous board game or toy it’s based on.

If we’re so quick to crap on things that sound terrible from the jump, we’d never get cool things like the “Lego Movie” or the last few super-entertaining “Fast & Furious” movies.

Timber! Holiday Tree Options Abound in Central Oregon

Hike to get your tree—or enjoy a host of other options

T

Courtesy Old Mill District

he custom of erecting and decorating a tree in celebration of winter holidays evolved from Germany in the 1500s. In addition to trees, some early European celebrants constructed Christmas pyramids of wood, evergreen boughs and candles—especially where trees were scarce.

Fast forward 400 years, and varying regional and family holiday tree traditions have arisen. The following tips should help modern high desert patrons looking for that special evergreen to light up their home this holiday season.

Dirksen Derby goes virtual; groomed XC trails open at Meissner

For the aspiring amature lumberjack (or Jane) Looking to get out in Deschutes National Forest (DNF) or the Ochocos to fell your own pine or fir? According to the U.S. Forest Service, the most popular tree species used for Christmas trees are Douglas fir, white fir, incense cedar and sometimes even lodgepole and ponderosa pines.

“In general, these can be found on flatter ground at lower elevations around Bend and on south- and west-facing slopes around Prineville,” notes the DNF website. “Firs and Cedars are found at higher elevations around Bend and Sisters and on north and east facing slopes around Prineville.”

DOs for amateur lumberjacks: Get a permit. One permit is required for each tree.... Five permits maximum, per household. Permits are $5 each and are available at: recreation.gov/ tree-permits/ Only cut your tree on National Forest lands.

Select any tree species that is less than 12 feet tall.

Only take a tree that is within 20 feet of another tree.

Cut stumps shorter than 12 inches.

Respect road and area closures.

Motorized travel for the purpose of cutting your tree must comply with restrictions found on Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Maps.

DON’T remove trees from: Private property.

Within 150 feet of state highways, picnic areas, campgrounds and other developed areas.

Within 300 feet of streams and bodies of water.

Within young tree plantations

Seeking some holiday feels? Soon the Tree of Joy will illuminate the Old Mill.

(nursery grown seedlings planted for future forests).

Within designated Wilderness areas or the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.

Obtaining a permit: The Forest Service moved permit sales to Recreation.gov as an added convenience and to provide an alternative to in-person transactions at offices where staffing may be limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For a listing of places tree cutting permits are sold locally and more information, see https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/ deschutes/passes-permits/forestproducts/?cid=fsbdev3_035887 For the one-stop holiday tree shopper Can’t do without the finest holiday tree in all the land? Local nurseries, including LandSystems nursery in Bend, have the top-of-the-line gourmet trees you seek, plus, all the accoutrements needed to kick off a fantastic winter solstice. Potted trees can be kept in the house through the holidays and then planted later on. LandSystems also provides classes in wreath making, table setting and more.

Additional holiday home decor options include handcrafted wreaths,

poinsettias, fresh cut greenery, Christmas figures and sets.

“We have wonderful arrangements, classes, hot chocolate, decorations, gifts and ornaments, a warm fire in the stove, Christmas trees, alive and flocked and so much more,” according to the LandSystems site. “This is a special time that our customers really look forward to, so come by and plan on spending some time. It takes several trips to really see it all.”

For those seeking community tree and light displays -Sunriver Resort hosts a daily tree-lighting ceremony in the backyard of its Main Lodge. The lighting happens from Nov. 25 to Jan. 3, at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30pm.

-The Tree of Joy lighting at the Old Mill isn't happening this year—but the annual menorah lighting organized by Chabad of Central Oregon is on! The drive-in event takes place Thu., Dec. 10. Details are available at oldmilldistrict.com/holiday-happenings. The Salvation Army is holding a fundraiser for area families, without the Tree of Joy event; visit bend.salvationarmy.org.

Dirksen Derby, Instagram Edition Dirksen Derby, the beloved fundraiser that is a highlight of the season for many local (and non-local) snow riders, is going virtual in 2020. Pro snowboarder Josh Dirksen started the Derby 13 years ago as a fundraiser for snowboarder Tyler Eklund, who was paralyzed as a teen. In more recent years, the event has raised funds for a host of causes and boasts a mission to “bring the local and international Snowboard and Sit-Ski communities together for incredibly fun and memorable weekends full of fast race times, strong friendships and fond memories,” according to its website.

In this pandemic year, competitors will need an Instagram account to take part. Participants create their own hand-built “Dirksen Derby” type obstacle course of jumps, berms or other features, and then ride it while being filmed.

Then the rider tags the video with #dirksenderby13 to their own Instagram account by Sun., Dec. 13. Lots more info is available at dirksenderby.com.

Meissner Groomed Trails Open Cross country skiers, your time has officially arrived. Tue,. Dec. 1 was the first day of grooming at Virginia Meissner Sno Park. For those classic and skate Nordic skiers who like a groomed trail, things are looking pretty smooth!

Cold Weather Home Sales Tips for making the most out of listing in the winter months ice. Clean up the landscape where possible. Since it’s getting dark by later afternoon, consider installing outdoor lighting to illuminate walkways, landscaping and especially the entry doors. Place an attractive all-weather door mat to wipe off shoes, both inside and outside.

Staging a home properly is important—but taking care of maintenance items is critical. Have the furnace serviced and turn up the thermostat to a comfortable level. Buyers will notice a chilly home. Seal drafty windows and doors with new weatherstripping and caulk and turn on the gas fireplaces to display how warm and cozy the home can be. For darker rooms, bring in floor lamps and remove heavy or bulky window coverings to take advantage of all possible natural light. Make the home smell delicious with natural fragrances or freshly baked cookies, or warm up a half-dozen store-bought pumpkin spice muffins in the oven.

Holiday decorations will make a house feel more homey, but don’t be too forward with personal preferences and always decorate minimally.

Tastefully decorate a smaller Christmas tree in the corner, use simple holiday lighting to highlight architectural elements or display a festive pine-cone centerpiece or wreath. Add pops of warm and pleasant color with throw blankets and pillows. Taking all of these simple steps will create a cozy and enjoyable experience while residing in the home and will communicate the feeling to prospective home buyers as well.

ypically, real estate professionals would advise home sellers to wait until the spring or summer months to list their home on the market. To put it mildly, 2020 is a completely different year. The COVID pandemic has disrupted many aspects of life as we know it. Spending more time at home has shed new light on some key elements of life that weren’t so obvious before, like the possibility of working remotely or online school, and it’s accentuated the compulsion to live out our dreams, now.

Despite the fact we’re in a traditionally slower time for real estate, the current market continues to be scorching, not only in Central Oregon but throughout the entire country, too. A combination of an ever-increasing buyer pool and extremely low inventory has created a sellers’ market and an ideal time to sell.

Even with record-paced home sales, it’s still important to prepare one’s home for a cold-season sale and to show off the home’s winter readiness and design, so it will sell for top dollar. Weather can somewhat limit what can be done outside, but there’s still plenty that can be completed inside and out to help welcome buyers to their new home.

The cold weather, ice and snow can make viewing homes difficult. There’s nothing less inviting then pulling up to a dark house with a foot of snow to trudge through to get to the front door. Help draw buyers into the home by turning on all of the lights and making sure walkways, driveways, decks and patios are cleared off of snow and

Knight Vision My boyfriend is very successful, with a high-profile job in finance. He’s very romantic, and I felt I’d found “the one.” However, he has cheated on previous girlfriends, is unusually protective of his phone around me, and otherwise acts secretively. For example: He began disappearing for three hours on Wednesday nights.

He didn’t return any texts, which is unlike him. He claimed he was at “therapy,” forgetting he’d told me he instead uses life coaches at his job. Another example: I stopped over one morning and saw remains of a pizza and a dainty box of sparkly champagne gummy bears (not exactly a man’s snack). After I called him on these incidents, he began texting me periodically on Wednesday nights and stockpiling cheap drugstore gummies, which he eats when I’m over. He has angrily denied he’s seeing other women and refuses to discuss it further. I’m in love with him, and I want to believe him.

—Benefit Of The Doubt?

Believing you’ve found love has a dark side: wanting to keep believing. The most outrageous claims can take on an air of plausibility, like when your friend tells you she spotted your boyfriend licking some woman’s tattoo, and he angrily insists he was saving somebody dying of snakebite -- uh, in Midtown Manhattan.

Your brain is partly to blame. Human brains have a collective set of built-in errors in reasoning called “cognitive biases” that prompt otherwise smart people to act like they have the IQ of a root vegetable. Crazy as it is that our brain would evolve to have built-in errors, this is actually not a bug, but a feature: one that sometimes acts like a bug.

Our mind needs to take mental shortcuts whenever it can. If we had to methodically think out our every action (starting with, “How do you turn on the light in the kitchen, and is that even a good idea?”), we’d wake up at 8 a.m. and need a nap by about 8:17. So, we’re prone to cut out the wearying middleman -careful deliberation of all the facts at hand -- and leap to conclusions about what to do or believe. However, we don’t do this at random; we default to “heuristics” (aka “rules of thumb”) -- broad, general principles that evolved out of human experience -- to make semi-informed, “quick and dirty” guesses.

Though these guesstimates are typically “good enough” solutions in do-ordie situations, they also lead to cognitive

biases, those absurd errors in reasoning that can muck up our lives. Two that might be mucking up yours are the “sunk cost fallacy” and “confirmation bias.”

The sunk cost fallacy is the irrational tendency to continue investing time, money, or effort in some losing endeavor (like an unhappy relationship) based on the investment we’ve already “sunk” into it. Of course, that prior investment is gone. The rational approach would be future-oriented thinking: assessing whether we’d get enough out of any further investment to make it worth throwing in more love, money, or time.

Confirmation bias reflects our tendency to Amy Alkon favor information that confirms a belief we already have -- like, “I found Mr. Right!”

-- and reject information that says (or screams) otherwise: “I found Mr. Juggles Women Like A Moscow Circus Bear.”

If you are succumbing to these cognitive biases, they probably have a co-conspirator. Cross-cultural research suggests that female emotions evolved to subconsciously push women to seek high-status “providers,” even when women are high-earning bigwigs themselves. In other words, you might be prone to ignore any intel suggesting your wolf of Wall Street spends a good bit of his week raiding the hussy henhouse (aka Tinder).

In short, though we humans (the snobs of the mammalian world!) smugly refer to ourselves as “rational animals,” we are able to reason, but we don’t always get around to doing it. Psychologist Daniel Kahneman explains that our brain has two information processing systems, our “fast” emotion-driven system and our “slow” rational system. The emotion-driven fast system is behind our mental shortcuts. It rises up automatically, requiring no work on our part. (We just experience emotions; we don’t sit around emotionally dead until we put effort into yanking one up.)

Reasoning, on the other hand, takes work: mental exertion to pore over and analyze information in order to make a decision. Tempting as it is to believe you’ve found “the one,” making yourself take the slow approach -- doing the work to see who a man really is -- will, at the very least, help you boot the bad eggs faster. Sadly, we live in an imperfect world -- one in which “pants on fire” is merely a figure of speech, not what happens when your half-undressed boyfriend says (with a totally straight face): “Amber and I were just about to have a work meeting.” You: “In our bed?”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Pictures of

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Aquarian philosopher Simone Weil formulated resolutions so as to avoid undermining herself.

First, she vowed she would only deal with difficulties that actually confronted her, not far-off or hypothetical problems. Second, she would allow herself to feel only those feelings that were needed to inspire her and make her take effective action. All other feelings were to be shed, including imaginary feelings—that is, those not rooted in any real, objective situation. Third, she vowed, she would “never react to evil in such a way as to augment it.” Dear Aquarius, I think all of these resolutions would be very useful for you to adopt in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In June 2019, the young Piscean singer Justin Bieber addressed a tweet to 56-year-old actor Tom Cruise, challenging him to a mixed martial arts cage fight. “If you don’t take this fight,” said Bieber, “you will never live it down.” A few days later, Bieber retracted his dare, confessing that Cruise “would probably whoop my ass in a fight.” If Bieber had waited until December 2020 to make his proposal, he might have had more confidence to follow through—and he might also have been better able to whoop Cruise’s ass. You Pisceans are currently at the peak of your power and prowess.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An anonymous blogger on Tumblr writes the following: “What I’d really like is for someone to objectively watch me for a week and then sit down with me for a few hours and explain to me what I am like and how I look to others and what my personality is in detail and how I need to improve. Where do I sign up for that?” I can assure you that the person who composed this message is not an Aries. More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Rams want to be yourself, to inhabit your experience purely and completely—not see yourself from the perspective of outside observers.

Now is a good time to emphasize this specialty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Humans like to be scared,” declares author Cathy Bell. “We love the wicked witch’s cackle, the wolf’s hot breath, and the old lady who eats children, because sometimes, when the scary is over, all we remember is the magic.” I suppose that what she says is a tiny bit true. But there are also many ways to access the magic that don’t require encounters with dread. And that’s exactly what I predict for you in the coming weeks, Taurus: marvelous experiences—including catharses, epiphanies, and break-

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1994, the animated movie The Lion King told the story of the difficult journey made by a young lion as he struggled to claim his destiny as rightful king. A remake of the film appeared in 2019. During the intervening 25 years, the number of real lions living in nature declined dramatically. There are now just 20,000.

Why am I telling you such bad news? I hope to inspire you to make 2021 a year when you will resist trends like this. Your assignment is to nurture and foster wildness in every way that’s meaningful for you—whether that means helping to preserve habitats of animals in danger of extinction or feeding and championing the wildness inside you and those you care about. Get started!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Is there anyone whose forgiveness you would like to have? Is there anyone to whom you should make atonement?

Now is a favorable phase to initiate such actions.

In a related subject, would you benefit from forgiving a certain person whom you feel wronged you? Might there be healing for you in asking that person to make amends? The coming weeks will provide the best opportunity you have had in a long time to seek these changes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Scientists know that the Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down—but at the very slow rate of two milliseconds every 100 years. What that means is that 200 million years from now, one day will last 25 hours. Think of how much more we humans will be able to get done with an extra hour every day! I suspect you may get a preview of this effect in the coming weeks, Leo. You’ll be extra efficient. You’ll be focused and intense in a relaxing way. Not only that: You will also be extra appreciative of the monumental privilege of being alive. As a result, you will seem to have more of the precious luxury of time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Adventurer Tim Peck says there are three kinds of fun. The first is pure pleasure, enjoyed in full as it’s happening. The second kind of fun feels challenging when it’s underway, but interesting and meaningful in retrospect.

Examples are giving birth to a baby or taking an arduous hike uphill through deep snow. The third variety is no fun at all. It’s irksome while you’re doing it, and equally disagreeable as you think about it later.

Now I’ll propose a fourth type of fun, which I suspect you’ll specialize in during the coming weeks. It’s rather boring or tedious or nondescript while it’s going on, but in retrospect you are very glad you did it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I made the wrong mistakes,” said Libran composer and jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. He had just completed an improvisatory performance he wasn’t satisfied with.

On countless other occasions, however, he made the right mistakes. The unexpected notes and tempo shifts he tried often resulted in music that pleased him. I hope that in the coming weeks you make a clear demarcation between wrong mistakes and right mistakes, dear Libra. The latter could help bring about just the transformations you need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Home is not where you were born,” writes Naguib Mahfouz. “Home is where all your attempts to escape cease.” I propose we make that one of your mottoes for the next 12 months, Scorpio. According to my astrological analysis, you will receive all the inspiration and support you need as you strive to be at peace with exactly who you are. You’ll feel an ever-diminishing urge to wish you were doing something else besides what you’re actually doing. You’ll be less and less tempted to believe your destiny lies elsewhere, with different companions and different adventures. To your growing satisfaction, you will refrain from trying to flee from the gifts that have been given you, and you will instead accept the gifts just as they are. And it all starts now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn novelist Anne Brontë (1820–1849) said, “Smiles and tears are so alike with me, they are neither of them confined to any particular feelings: I often cry when I am happy, and smile when I am sad.” I suspect you could have experiences like hers in the coming weeks.

I suggest you welcome them and allow them to teach you new secrets about your deep self and the mysterious nature of your life.

In the coming weeks, I encourage you Sagittarians to regard pictures of perfection with a similar disdain. To accomplish all the brisk innovations you have a mandate to generate, you must cultivate a deep respect for the messiness of creativity; you must understand that your dynamic imagination needs room to experiment with possibilities that may at first appear disorderly. For inspiration, keep in mind this quote from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich: “Well-behaved women seldom make history.”
