3 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 08 / FEBRUARY 20, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

It’s no secret that the word “growth” has been, and continues to be, the word that defines Central Oregon most succinctly. It plays out in our coverage this week in a few ways; in Laurel Brauns’ feature story that checks in on progress within Bend’s Central District and Core Area, for one. It’s a factor in Central Oregon’s rising ethnic diversity, as is discussed in Cayla Clark’s story about the upcoming Hammered Black History comedy show.

It certainly factors into Brauns’ online exclusive story this week, “Solutions to the Housing Crisis,” which takes a look at the volume of real estate in Bend that is owned, but not occupied, by the owners nor long-term renters. And growth continues to play out in so many other places where we shine a light. How long will this word define us? It’s hard to tell, but it doesn’t show any sign of stopping—and while it continues to define us, we’ll continue to try to unpack what it means for our readers.

ig problems require big moves.

We have no doubt that legislative action to help curb Oregon’s greenhouse gas emissions is the right thing to do—and that the time is now to take action. But as the Oregon Legislative Assembly slides into its third week in a short session that lasts just five weeks, we have to also root goals in reality.

This week, Democrats in the Oregon Legislature made moves to slow down the trajectory of SB 1530, the Senate version of a cap-and-invest plan that aims to curb greenhouse gas emissions by increasing fuel taxes (first in the Portland metro area; later in other parts of the state) and forcing big polluters to obtain credits for the amount of greenhouse gas they emit. The sale of credits would then be used to invest in a “decarbonized” transportation system.

Democrats made the move after Republicans in the Legislature complained that they hadn’t had enough time to fully review the bill nor get enough public testimony to gauge public support. While that may be seen as yet another move to stymie legislation that Democrats say can’t wait, it could also be seen as a reasonable ask. Legislation this big needs broad public support, and Oregonians deserve to fully understand the way it’s going to work before legislators move forward.

One could argue that the process has been going on for far too long, given that another iteration of cap and invest was on the table during last year’s regular legislative session.

But that was a different iteration; and to Democrats’ credit, they’ve done much to listen to the concerns of Republicans concerned about how the original bill would have affected rural constituents. That’s the type of back-and-forth that should be allowed in this process. In a state where the “urban-rural divide” conversation is raging, Democrats need

to deliver a package that, while might not completely please both sides, will at least assuage some of each side’s biggest concerns. That is good governance—and it takes more time than the short session may allow.

We support strong moves to curb the effects of climate change in our state. Even if our overall global impact is a drop in the bucket, taking the time to craft a plan that works to slow our own state’s impact on the environment could encourage other states and nations to do the same.

Many nations smaller than the state of Oregon have done so, knowing their global impact was small, but also understanding that many drops do fill a bucket.

While moving our transportation needs to electric-powered vehicles— one ideal result of the cap-and-invest plan—could come with its own share of concerns (recall the California fires last year, reportedly started by PG&E electrical lines), it may very well usher in an era when we no longer see massive negative impacts from the burning and transport of fuel. This week, crews continue to repair Highway 22 west of Sisters, after a double tanker fuel truck crashed and spilled about 7,800 gallons of fuel into and adjacent to the North Santiam River.

Ten Oregon cities get their drinking water from that river.

Ten years from now, with tighter greenhouse gas emissions caps in place and fleets far less dependent on fossil fuels, we’d like to think that crashes like this won’t happen. We’d like to believe that by then, the vast majority of people will have curbed their dependence on a finite resource to get us around.

A lot is riding on the Oregon Legislative Assembly’s moves to curb greenhouse gas emissions. But even with the stakes, cramming the issue into a short session with just two and a half weeks left may not be the right move.

RE: HOMELESS CAMP EVICTIONS, 2/13

Laurel Brauns reports on the eviction of homeless camps at Juniper Ridge. Some of the information involves urban growth infrastructure, specifically the North Interceptor Sewer Line Project, which provides the rationale for vacating the homeless camps. This may be necessary now, but Juniper Ridge has been a City of Bend Urban Renewal Property for many years, and the Sewer Project has been planned to go through Juniper Ridge for many years. This is sound urban planning, and the voters agreed to fund a bond to pay for the development. The bond is subtracted from property taxes each year, and has been for many years. However, the “drunk on possibility” leaders

@sourceweekly

abdicated when the university, business park and neighborhoods surrounded by parks and trails, did not happen. They let the property languish, and now there’s a problem.

The City blames the 2008 recession, but let’s stay current. According to 2016 Bend Urban Renewal Agency Juniper Ridge Urban Renewal Debt Service Fund, the income from our taxes is $1,901,800. The sad note is the loan service is $1,078,000 (the article mentioned a “botched land deal?) The City retains money from the loan, at least since 2016, and has not stepped up to maintain the property in any way. I have ridden my bicycle through Juniper Ridge and have seen the homeless camps for at least two summers and have written to them about it. And now this sad story. I ask voters: Are you willing to vote for a new bond (tax) to leaders “drunk on possibility,” this time for a transportation plan that is flawed by planning for more cars instead of planning for urban mobility that keeps our city liveable. Given the past record of Bend’s city leaders managing our bond/taxes, vote NO on the transportation bond that will appear on your November ballot.

—Pet Kestner Best reporting I've seen yet. There will be profound human consequences from this poorly thought out so-called "humane" operation. The best solution is, of course, actual housing and services for those in need, but—until that day—we gain little by displacing vulnerable people from their existing community at Juniper Ridge and destroying their modicum of a safety net. What an unconscionable use of City of Bend staff and resources.

Thank you, Laurel.

—Foster Fell, via bendsource.com

What people don’t realize is that many people simply don’t want to live like everyone else. Myself, I’d rather be homeless (camping) than work a meaningless job just to pay the rent of some depressing apartment in town.

I am not mentally ill, handicapable, or a veteran; I actually did quite well in college, but I don’t vibe with the way we live. I am not the only person around that sees no value in the busy ways we live today. We have to meet people like me, not just veterans, halfway, and understand that our current way of living looks like slavery to many less socialized, more out-ofthe-box type people. These centralized villages are a wonderful step in the right direction for people who want to live simply, with less stuff. I’d like to see more of these villages in rural areas, around a farm that could be worked by the inhabitants. Maybe more safe and thoughtful changes to code and law are in order.

I liked your cover picture for February 13 on Love Your Neighbor.

Teafly has done such a good job making it attractive. I did miss not seeing gray-haired grandmas and grandpas as many are our neighbors. I also thought it would be nice to give credit where credit is due with the “love your neighbor” phrase. God said it in the Bible in Leviticus 19 Verse 18.

Jesus also quoted it in Matthew 5 verse 43 when he reminded people to also love their enemies. Paul quoted it again in Galatians chapter 5 verse 14 saying that we should love our neighbor as ourselves. So many times we see quotes and don’t realize who originally said them. I just thought it was a good reminder to let people know where the quote comes from.

Thank you.

Oregon comedian finds himself onboard an un-dockable cruise ship, port countries fear coronavirus

By Cayla Clark

W

hen Eugene-based comedian Frank King left for his last series of paid performances aboard the MS Westerdam of the Holland America Line, he had no way of predicting the series of events that would soon unfold.

Recent, worldwide panic regarding the coronavirus outbreak has left many countries wary of foreign travelers, and as a result, the temporarily homeless cruise ship was turned away from five countries before finally docking in Cambodia last Thursday.

China’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted close to 2,000 coronavirus-related deaths so far, putting the overall death rate at 2.3%. Severe acute respiratory syndrome, commonly known as SARS, which swept through China nearly 20 years ago had a 10% death rate, according to the U.S. CDC. “Imported cases of [coronavirus disease 2019] COVID-19 in travelers have been detected in the U.S. person-to-person spread of COVID-19 also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from Wuhan, but at this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States,” the CDC reported. Still, the extremely contagious nature of this specific strain has led to international fear.

“We boarded in Hong Kong on Feb. 1,” King told the Source Feb. 14. “Anyone who had been to the mainland was turned away. We headed to the Philippines, but the president had banned all ships from China.” The ship was allowed to dock in Taiwan, the next port on the itinerary.

“There’s a camera in customs that reads everyone’s temperature,” he explained.

“Everyone passed except for 20 people, who had mild fevers. If you consider the amount of people on the ship, some people were bound to get sick with something.

But the Taiwanese equivalent to the CDC dropped the hammer, and said, ‘Nope, sorry, you can’t come back onshore. Oh, and you need to leave immediately.’ We were thrown out of there like a rowdy drunk.”

King said so far, passengers didn’t fear for their well-being. “We were able to restock on food and fuel in Taiwan, but we had to get out of there. So we moved onto South Korea, and South Korea said, ‘No. You can’t come here.’ So we moved onto Japan, and Japan said, ‘No.’ There were three Japanese ports on the itinerary.”

King—who the Source featured in our Jan. 15 Winter Health issue—explained that the ship wanted to dock in Guam, but Guam also turned the cruise line down. “So we turned around and headed southwest. I had never used the compass app on my phone before, and at this point I’d used it at least 50 times.”

After attempting to dock in Thailand and being forcibly “escorted” back to sea by a “heavily armed gun boat,” the ship docked in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

This was a huge relief to the passengers despite the lack of an accessible, international airport, King said. The 20 people with fevers were tested extensively and deemed clear of the virus. Once the ship docked, Holland America chartered flights out of Cambodia, bringing the once sea-stuck passengers safely back home.

Congratulations,

Lindsey!

A gun boat off the coast of Thailand makes sure that potentially infected foreigners stay the heck away.

“Holland America bent over backwards to keep people safe and happy,” King noted. “We could make calls for free, use the internet for free… and of course, everyone got refunded.” Despite the circumstances, spirits on the ship remained high. “There was no mass hysteria, nothing like that,” said King. “It was funny, actually. There was a souvenir t-shirt available for purchase, one with all of the ports mapped out on the back. Everyday this guy would tape over another port with a new port name. Everyone made light of the situation. Probably because we knew no one onboard was actually sick.”

Not all cruise passengers have been so lucky. According to a report by The New York Times, a recent outbreak aboard a Diamond Princess cruise ship lead to 454 confirmed cases of coronavirus. This led to a two-week quarantine of the ship.

Americans were evacuated before their test results came back positive, resulting in even greater concerns. “Officials decided to let the infected evacuees, who were not yet exhibiting symptoms, board the planes and sit in the back, separated from other passengers by plastic sheets about 10 feet tall,” the report reads.

King didn’t track the virus back into Eugene (as far as we know). But does Bend remain safe from coronavirus? Well, actually… no. Eighty-year-old local Terry Bryan of Bend was diagnosed with a strain of the virus on Super Bowl Sunday, after some strange symptoms spurned

a late-night hospital visit.

“It was hard to describe… there was no pain, it was just a rotten feeling,” he said. “Something wasn’t right.” After running several hours of testing, the medical team finally came to a conclusion. “At first they thought I had pneumonia, based off of the CT scan,” Bryan said. “They later decided it was coronavirus based off of bloodwork.”

Bryan was released from the hospital and advised to rest inside for between eight and 10 days. Representatives from St. Charles Medical Center did not respond to our request for information about the number of local coronavirus diagnoses at its facilities by press time.

But before spiraling into a panic, note that there are numerous strains of the virus, and that only the COVID-19— which experienced its initial outbreak in Wuhan, China—is lethal. According to the CDC, four common strains of human coronavirus have been around since the 1960s. Medical News Today reported that coronaviruses are responsible for between 15 and 30% of common colds.

“Cold or flu-like symptoms usually set in from two to four days after coronavirus infection, and they are typically mild,” the report reads. “However, symptoms vary from person to person, and some forms of the virus can be fatal.”

The Artist Behind the Mural

The BCD’s Franklin Avenue underpass project serves as a signal of hope; a bridge between two parts of Bend

By Laurel Brauns to paint murals for the Tin Pan Theater, Lone Pine Coffee Roasters and the Old Mill District. Last year, she finished “Two For Joy,” a mural on the inside of the Franklin Avenue underpass, featured on the cover of the Source this week. She’s been featured on the cover of the Source five other times, from 2008 through 2015.

As Ó Corcráin tells it, Anseth overcame a number of hurdles in order to finish painting the mural in the underpass. Anseth is a member of the Bend Central District Visionary Board, a group organized by Moey Newbold of Central Oregon LandWatch, working to promote sustainable infill development in the industrial blocks east of the train tracks. The board envisioned a neighborhood brought to life by public art, and sought to “get the red tape out of the way for artists to paint murals in Bend,” Ó Corcráin explained. “The code affects the whole city.”

The Bend City Council passed a new mural code last year that eased the process for private buildings, but not for public places and right-of-ways.

“There’s no reason Bend shouldn’t have art in public places,” Ó Corcráin said. “It’s happened in big cities before, when they get support for art in public places, the incidence of graffiti goes down. There should be a process where if there is a location where art could go, the artist could go through the process, and it would be supported.”

Instead, Anseth encountered inaction and the threat of fines, Ó Corcráin said. She approached the City and

spoke at a Bend City Council meeting to get permission to paint the mural. She also approached City Council members informally through emails and phone calls, Ó Corcráin said.

The City first told her that she must get permission from BNSF Railroad, because the City had no jurisdiction over the underpass. She got the go-ahead from BNSF and began the mural. That’s when the City called her to tell her they would fine her $700 if she continued to paint it. The City eventually conceded that because the property was owned by the railroad (technically federal property, and therefore public) they had no jurisdiction over the underpass, Ó Corcráin said.

“When there is art, places feel loved and cared for, not just an industrial waste land,” Ó Corcráin said. “In the Maker’s District [inside the BCD], there is no reason there can’t be an artistic vibrant intensity in the town. It can make the town glow.”

Anseth has been working with the BCD Visionary Board and Bend’s Creative Laureate Jason Graham to plan a second mural on the other side of the Franklin Avenue underpass, but this

time, the group wants to work with high school students.

Meanwhile, Anseth has been living with cancer for over three years, and is now under hospice care. As she’s struggled with the illness, she’s documented her journey on Instagram and remains committed to her art. Finishing the mural became more than an art project, but a symbol of hope for other artists. It was about possibility rather than settling for the status quo, as well as a bridge between two parts of town.

Her success in the face of ambivalence and bureaucracy could also be seen as a symbol for a Bend at the crossroads. Will the reinvigoration of the BCD create a welcoming habitat for artists, or will it turn into a neighborhood of high-end condos built for investors?

Anseth plans to make all of her work available for print at kayceeansethcreations.com. All the profits will support local artists.

“She wants to be an angel investor,” Ó Corcráin said. “To leave a legacy that supports other artists in the community.”

aycee Anseth has worked as an artist in Bend since she moved to the city 15 years ago. In that time, she’s contributed her time and talent to the city’s growing artistic community: The Franklin Avenue underpass mural, located in the Bend Central District, is just one of many places to see her work. Dozens of galleries and stores have exhibited her work and she’s painted commissioned murals throughout the city. As Bend grows more expensive—and those with creative careers struggle to stay afloat—Anseth has managed to thrive both inside and outside the lines of conventional culture.

Anseth’s work pushes the boundaries of traditional mediums. Instead of paint, she mostly uses tiny pieces of paper cut magazines once destined for the recycling bin. In a society where many consumer goods are designed to break and end up in the landfill, her reuse of discarded materials calls into question the norms of throw-away culture.

Anseth glues colorful strips into dreamy collages that evoke fairy tales and distant memories and a childlike reverie about foxes and wolves; for a time when small patches of forest and field held magic and mystery.

“She is mainly interested in the non-human world,” said Cathasach Ó Corcráin, Anseth’s husband. “She’s painting animals as saints; it comes from an animistic point of view. The natural world is a subject rather than the object. There’s a story in her work… it’s driven by mythology.”

While Anseth’s primary medium is collages, she’s also been commissioned

THE VISION FOR THE BEND CENTRAL DISTRICT MAY GET SUPPORT THROUGH CODE CHANGES AND URBAN RENEWAL REVENUES

By Laurel Brauns

T

oday the industrial neighborhoods east of the train tracks, just four or five blocks from downtown Bend, are largely run down and neglected. Few people live there, and most of the buildings were built in the 1970s, '80s and '90s, with function, not aesthetics, in mind.

But now the City, environmental groups, developers and citizen volunteers want to change that. Together they have an ambitious vision to jump start growth and transform the area into a vibrant, walkable neighborhood where people can live, work and play.

The area of interest stretches north to where NE Division Street meets the Deschutes River and south along Third Street toward Reed Market Road.

It includes the area around Crux Fermentation Project, neighborhoods east of downtown and then continues east to Fourth Street with an outstretched arm along Highway 20. This is the Bend Core Area, where the city wants to establish an urban renewal district, and it is about 400 acres larger than the original Bend Central District, which

only included Bend’s industrial blocks next to the train tracks.

Interest in the BCD spiked after the 2016 Bend Urban Growth Boundary expansion: To meet demands from the state for more infill development, the BCD was rezoned to allow for increased building heights and reduced parking

landowners, investors and developers.

After the UGB code changes in 2016, Central Oregon LandWatch got behind BCD redevelopment in a big way: it set up the BCD Visionary Board (where Hearn serves as a member) and lobbied the City to put more time and attention into the district. COLW’s Direc-

—Moey Newbold requirements. But not a single developer took the bait in the four years following. More than a few have bought up land and sat on it, waiting for someone else to make the first move, according to Mary Hearn, who’s working to catalyze development in the area by connecting

tor of Urban Planning, Moey Newbold, explained that rallying for infill development meets the organization’s goals of increased density in the city, which not only protects wildlife from the effects of continued urban sprawl, but reduces fuel consumption, one of the biggest

sources of greenhouse gas emissions. In 2018, COLW secured a $100,000 grant from Meyer Memorial Trust to continue its work on the BCD with a focus on equity, housing and safer streets.

BCD Visionary Board Lives On COLW’s enthusiasm won over the Bend City Council, which set up the Bend Urban Renewal Advisory Board, a 13-member volunteer committee tasked with creating a common vision and plan for the BCD and studying the feasibility of establishing an urban renewal district, which would receive extra funds from the City for improvements. The BCD was rebranded as the Core Area Project, and expanded from a 206-acre industrial area to 637 acres throughout the heart of Bend.

The Bend Urban Renewal Agency’s final picks for the board in the summer of 2018 did not include Newbold of COLW, but did bring together a diverse coalition of developers, business owners, multi-modal transportation advocates, financing experts and residents of the area.

URAB Goals and Planning The URAB has met once a month since February 2019 to provide some rules aimed at making the area a success. If the board’s recommendations for a renewal district are approved, the Bend Core Area could benefit from a projected $112 million in improvement investments from the city over the next 30 years.

A year into the process, the board agreed on some primary goals to guide its planning decisions. These include removing barriers between the west and east sides of Bend, preserving affordability, creating a walkable area with efficient transportation and using public money to catalyze private development and sustainability. The group would like to see livable developments, and to create guidelines and incentives that are practical and lead to progress.

“This plan does not sit on a shelf,” it says in the URAB’s Guiding Principles.

Over the last year, the urban design framework the board created prioritizes infrastructure projects to improve connectivity to downtown and the rest of the city. The board also wants the urban renewal district to fund public spaces, streetscape improvements, art and beautification projects and affordable housing.

The board has made substantial progress and recommendations for building code changes as well. They want to allow for more residential development off the main corridors. (The 2016 UGB code requires that all new buildings must have commercial space on the ground floor.) The board also recommends easing parking requirements for both commercial and residential space.

These changes were approved by the Bend Planning Commission last month.

They’ll come before the City Council on Wednesday and could go into effect as early as April, if approved.

From left: Allison Platt is a senior planner with the City of Bend and Matt Stuart works as the urban renewal manager. They’re working together on plans for the Bend Core Area and say they are optimistic that it will provide housing and transportation options for both young professionals and retiring Baby Boomers who want to live close to downtown Bend.

The People of URAB Elise Jones owns and operates Fancywork Yarn Shop on NE Greenwood Avenue. She applied for the URAB to contribute her perspective as a business owner in the area. Jones said serving on the committee has been a really positive experience where she feels her opinions are valued, noting the City has been very respectful and efficient with the short time the group meets every month.

“The process has gathered together a broad range of interests,” Jones said.

“The vision is to pull together different sides of the city that are very separated from each other, not just by the railroad and [Highway] 97, but also economically and philosophically… it’s a great opportunity to remove the

barriers both physically and metaphorically, to bring everything together.”

Another URAB member is Steve Porter, an avid bike commuter who works as a consultant. He says URAB has been very even-handed among competing and cooperating interests in the City and that there has been a heavy focus on building equity among many different demographic groups in Bend. He also sees URAB as a forward-thinking response to some of the issues that are currently top of mind for the politically- and socially-minded.

“We face a number of problems in our society: climate change, obesity, tax and funding requirements, unsustainable sprawl,” Porter said. “Increased densification could solve a lot of this.

“Right now we have the ability to flip what I would consider to be an

under-utilized area to perhaps the best part of Bend: to expand the franchise of what Bend has to offer, expand to new people, with beneficial amenities brought to the front door.”

Bend Senior Planner Allison Platt acts as a liaison for the city during URAB meetings. She often commutes to work at City Hall from the east side of Bend on her bike, and is excited for the possibility of a new urban renewal district because it could fund a bike and pedestrian overpass at Hawthorne Avenue from downtown into the Bend Core Area, something that would immediately make the area more accessible.

She’s also enthusiastic about the project’s sustainability goals and the chance to transition to an urban environment, and “go vertical,” she said.

“Developing this area is more cost effective, on a cost per acre basis,” Platt said. “If we can encourage more dense urban development where there is already base infrastructure, we can do it at a much cheaper rate.

“This can also provide for lifestyles that Bend’s traditional single-family zoning haven’t necessarily supported,” she said. “There’s opportunities for young professionals, empty nesters, and Boomers that are retiring, to live in places like small efficiency dwelling units like they have in Seattle, all close to amenities and downtown.”

What is Urban Renewal?

Urban renewal is a tool Oregon cities can use to reinvest in underdeveloped or blighted areas. As these neighborhoods begin to develop and property taxes go Continued on page 11 Courtesy City of Bend

Tax Increment Funding (TIF) is a tool that Oregon cities can use to redirect property tax money into blighted or underdeveloped areas. City of Bend urban renewal planners estimate that the Bend Core Area could receive more than $100 million over the course of 30 years of the program.

Meanwhile, Newbold’s BCD Visionary Board is still active. Newbold believes its purpose is to continue to ensure that the city and community hears from a diverse set of voices during the process. The group spearheaded the mural project created by artist Kaycee Anseth inside the underpass at Franklin Avenue, featured on the Source’s cover this week. The BCD Visionary Board has plans for more public art in the future as a way of bringing interest and attention to the area.

“As a conservation organization that values careful planning, Central Oregon LandWatch believes in creating an inclusive, dense, mixed-use neighborhood in the Bend Central District that is well-served by safe and healthy mobility options,” Newbold said. “This community vision is critical for the future of our region because the alternative to density is sprawl, which costs people in terms of hours spent commuting, air pollution, infrastructure costs and loss of wildlife habitat.”

districts receive much more than they would have without the improvements, recouping their 30-year loss in four or five years.

“Bend Park and Recreation District is getting less money, but schools aren’t really affected because of the way the state redistributes money on a per-student basis,” Stuart said. “We’ve assessed the current value of the area at $439 million. We predict that in 30 years it will be $2.09 billion. We’ll be able to lever-

—Dale Van Valkenburg to fund projects that would not otherwise pencil out for developers.

“We want to be the last resource, not the predominant funding mechanism,” Stuart said. “But if a project comes forward, an affordable housing project for example, and it’s 10% short, the urban renewal money could be used as a grant, capital improvement or as a low-interest loan to get the developer all the way there.”

Stuart explained that that proponents of urban renewal see it as a win-win in the long term. While the amount that schools, parks, police and fire receive freezes for 30 years at the current rate, when the renewal times out, these

The City currently has two active urban renewal projects: one near the Walmart Supercenter on the south end of Bend, including Murphy Road, and another at Juniper Ridge on Bend’s north end.

Dale Van Valkenburg, the chair of URAB, is also the director of planning and development for Brooks Resources Corporation, who’s worked in urban planning for 30 years. One of the most successful examples of urban renewal he’s seen is in Portland’s Pearl District.

Most of the Bend Core Area and subarea boundaries will be included in the final proposal for an urban renewal district.

He also mentioned Redmond’s urban renewal district which inspired developers to transform the Old Redmond Hotel into SCP Hotel Redmond, which brands itself as embracing “soul, community and planet” to deliver “holistic hospitality.”

The Future Brooks Resources invested in the Blue Dog RV building and parking lot sandwiched between Walgreens and Les Schwab Tire Center on NE Franklin Avenue, which is inside the BCD. Van Valkenburg said his company is still in the visioning process for the project and

some sidewalk improvements, for example, and the city will do the other half.

We want to help the pioneers, the people willing to take the risk, because right now not much is moving in that area.”

"If you really want to transform an area, and you want to set the stage to make possible your vision as a community leader, you need to have a diversity of viewpoints and value sets… different people at the table to help you get it done, including the people that are going to be doing the work of transforming the area,” said Mayor Sally Russell when asked about the participation of developLaurel Brauns

Paul Israel, owner of Sunlight Solar Energy, stands of the roof of the building his company is building for their new headquarters at 105 NE Hawthorn Avenue. He said he’s excited to be a pioneer in the BCD and believes the area will transform into a thriving neighborhood bringing together the east and west sides of Bend which are currently divided by traffic jams, train tracks and Highway 97.

their future decisions will be affected by upcoming code changes for the area and the status of the urban renewal process.

“This is a new thing for Bend, going from a large town to a small city,” Van Valkenburg said. “A few examples are the Franklin Crossing Building and what is going up where Ray’s used to be. It’s zoning changes that has allowed those things to happen. The problem with the central district is that it’s been neglected… it is now a bunch of old single-story buildings. There are barriers to getting people to want to live there. But urban renewal lets developers take the risk.”

Van Valkenburg serves URAB as a representative of Brooks Resources. When asked about the potential conflict of interest between serving the community as a member of URAB while also as a representative of Brooks Resources Corporation, which owns land inside the BCD, Van Valkenburg said: “The City actively recruited and pursued people to apply for the board who had known conflicts of interest.

It was set up as a stakeholder group: there’s business owners, property owners, a commercial real estate broker with clients within the area... We all declare our conflicts of interest at the beginning of the meetings. And, we are just an advisory board. The City Council will ultimately be the ones to make the final decisions."

Dennis Pahlisch, who owns Pahlisch Homes, also serves on URAB. “This is not a handout to developers,” said Stuart, who is managing the urban renewal proposal for the area. “They’ll do

ers in creating an urban renewal district.

"We’ve consistently found that having diverse stakeholders gives us a well-informed plan that will benefit the community as a whole," Russell said.

As a harbinger of things to come, the same Portland developers who created the Jupiter Hotel next door to the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland—arguably one of the best music clubs in the state— bought the Three Sisters Inn & Suites on Third Street, within the BCD. They have aspirations to eventually host live music, and transform the motor lodge into hipster heaven.

Paul Israel of Sunlight Solar Energy is also moving his company’s headquarters to a building in the BCD at 150 NE Hawthorne Ave. Israel says the building will be net zero, and he plans to rent out the extra space inside to other businesses, which meets the City’s goal for increased density.

To offer local people more information on the proposed urban renewal district and the BCD, the City of Bend is planning a Core Area Open House on Thursday.

The City will present the common vision of the URAB and the plan for implementation. Platt, who manages URAB, and Stuart, from urban renewal won't give a formal presentation, and the City will post an online version of the open house following the in-person event.

up, cities can redirect the tax money back into improvements in the district, instead of giving the usual percentage to parks and schools. That money can then be used to invest in utilities, multimodal connectivity projects, affordable housing, streetscaping and even murals and street art.

Matt Stuart, urban renewal manager for the City of Bend, said the money may also be used as a financing mechanism

Killin’ Pain

Tommy Castro and his band, The Painkillers, bring the blues to Sisters

By L. Kent Wolgamott 15

Jayson Carpenter

Libraries open in the

In 1939, the library found a permanent home in a building built of wood, rather than brick, to save money. The original library still stands today, housing library district administration.

Libraries in Sisters and Redmond opened that same year.

deschuteslibrary.org

Tommy Castro, who started playing guitar at age 10, is still going strong.

It’s a hard-working outfit, touring the U.S. a couple times a year and heading to Europe once a year—kind of a grind for Castro, who turned 64 last April.

“It seemed easier 30 years ago somehow. I could get by with less sleep,” Castro said. “Now I’ve got to make sure I get enough sleep, take my vitamins, stay in shape to be ready for these kinds of tours.”

Thirty years ago, Castro was just a few years in to making music for a living, even though he started playing guitar at 10.

“It was kind of a surprise to me I had a career in music,’ he said. “I grew up in a working-class neighborhood where people did jobs they hated just to put food on the table. I just played because I loved to play. It was my sport. One day a light bulb went off in my head: ‘Wouldn’t it be great if I did something I cared about and loved?’ I decided I owed it to myself to take a shot. I didn’t come

up with that idea until I was about 30.”

Castro moved from San Jose to San Francisco, becoming a Bay Area regular in cover bands before signing on with the soul band The Dynatones, where he joined McDonald. In 1991, the guitarist called up McDonald, who’d also left The Dynatones, and put together the first incarnation of the Tommy Castro Band.

Within a couple years, The Tommy Castro Band was a Bay Area hit.

“We got a record deal, booking agent, management—it started happening really fast.”

Castro said, “It was ‘wait a minute, if I knew this was going to happen, I would have been practicing.’ I’ve been doing that ever since.”

Castro’s been practicing and making records since his 1996 debut on Blind Pig Records. In 2009, after releases on Blind Pig, Telarc and 33rd St., Castro signed with Alligator Records and

released “Hard Believer.” The next year, he took the Blues Music Awards for Blues Male Artist of the Year, Contemporary Blues Album of the Year, with his band at the time, Band of the Year, and the most prestigious award of all: B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.

That award had special meaning for Castro, who opened for King on multiple tours, often joining him on stage for the final song of the night. King, he said, was one of his guitar inspirations.

“I’ve always had a great feel for the guitar,” Castro said. “I really connected with guys like B.B. King—the simple stuff.

Sometimes it calls for a little shredding.

Even though that’s not necessarily my strong suit, I’ll go there if that’s what the song calls for. That sums me up as a player. I play what the songs call for, not the flashiest solos, but what fits the tunes.”

While touring on “Killin’ It Live,” Castro and the Painkillers are also getting ready for the next trip into the studio. That album will likely be produced by Tom Hambridge, the Grammy-winning producer and songwriter who Castro met years ago on a tour with King and Buddy Guy, who calls Hambridge “the white Willie Dixon.”

For now, Castro’s happy with his latest aural calling card, with a single caveat: “I wish I could have made a double album,” he said.

ant to know what you’re going to hear if you go catch Tommy Castro and the Painkillers next week at The Belfry?

Check out “Killin’ It Live,” the latest album from the multiple Blues Music Award winner and his band.

“It’s a little bit of a calling card in a way—‘hey, this is the show, if you want to come and see it.” Castro said. “One of the reasons I wanted to put this record out is I’ve been through so many different phases with this career of mine, different groups, different lineups, different directions. I think people don’t know what to expect if they haven’t been to one of my shows in a while. I thought it’d be great to put out a record that shows what we’re doing now.”

The “we” is Castro, his longtime collaborator, bassist Randy McDonald, keyboardist Mike Emerson and drummer Bowen Brown, who cut the record in a handful of venues from New York to California, Wisconsin to Texas in 2018.

The album, which includes a pair of covers—Taj Mahal’s arrangement of Sleepy John Estes’ “Leavin’ Trunk” and Buddy Miles’ “Them Changes”—covers the gamut of Castro composition, from the roadhouse rock of “Make It Back to Memphis” to the slow blues of “Lose Lose” and the soul of “Anytime Soon.”

“We can do just about everything I’ve ever written with this band,” Castro said. “We’ve been together about four years. At some point in there, it starts clicking. There’s a point where everybody knows where we are all the time instinctively. We play like a band that’s been together for a while.”

“We Don’t Always Just Look Ridiculous” Pigeons Playing Ping Pong find new territory on its latest album, but are still jamming all the same

By Isaac Biehl

As long as they're out on tour, nobody has more fun than these guys. Still, losing their ski gear before a show in Bend is a big bummer.

riding that energy from the crowd and building those peaks. It’s tough taking a song that’s normally 12 minutes and making it four minutes for an album,” Petropulos tells the Source. “Not that you need to do that, but we try to do a healthy mix. We’ll edit some songs to allow them to be easily digestible to people.”

Even a studio album can still bring those improv-type jams that have made PPPP so famous. On “Presto,” listeners will find good examples of this; “Avalanche” and “Snake Eyes” are two songs where the band really stuck to its roots. Petropulos doubts they’ll ever go this far, but lead singer Greg Ormont has joked about placing a projector in

the studio with them that shows a really rowdy crowd to hype the band up— innovation at its finest.

PPPP keeps an archive of all of the band’s past set lists, so they know to switch it up next time they’re in the same city. More often than not, the group also makes on-the-fly changes to the performance anyway.

“We have a lot of funny, intentional signals too that I can’t give away— but if you ever see us on stage out of nowhere crouching down, sticking a leg out, a tongue or something like that, it might mean something! We don’t always just look ridiculous.”

One of my favorite songs off “Presto” is something of a love song, called

“Fortress.” It’s the tale of boy Roy and girl Pearl’s journey to finding each other’s love—and since it was Valentine’s Day during our interview, I had to ask Petropulos where the duo was at now.

“You know, I can only hope they are both happy,” says Petropulos, laughing. “We’re just going to keep playing their song. Yeah, maybe that’s a good one to bust out on Valentine’s Day. But I wish them the best. We need to catch up with them—it’s been a minute.”

When Petropulos first started with the band he says the group was playing north of 200 shows a year. Now with momentum and a built fanbase, PPPP has scaled back to around 120 shows (still insane). Even when they aren’t touring, the guys are going out to see shows, working on other side projects or rehearsing. But what does one do when you spend that much time on a tour bus?

“One really funny, sort of ritualistic thing after shows when we’re hangin’—we get on the bus and we have this TV screen back in the lounge and we’ll put on old kung fu movies, but we’ll rock out to music over it. It sounds really stupid [laughs] but like all the fight scenes line up perfectly with the music!”

That’s just the life of a pigeon, I guess.

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 08 / FEBRUARY 20, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

“I

’m coming in hot,” said Alex Petropulos, drummer for Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, as we hopped on the phone for our interview. It was a sh*tty Valentine’s Day morning in San Francisco. The band woke up and found all of their ski gear stolen (a Bendite’s worst nightmare). Petropulos actually stumbled upon a group of people with the gear and tried getting it back right before our call—but we’ll just say his efforts did not go well.

“I’m just going to keep my eye on the prize,” laughed Petropulou.

While he waited to see if the gear could be tracked down, we spoke about the band’s newest album, “Presto,” released in January.

“We have a handful of studio records now and we were proud of the process with making this one,” says Petropulos. “It was the most comfortable process I feel we’ve had so far.”

Having spent five years with the band, “Presto” marks the second studio album that Petropulos has worked on with PPPP, apart from the band’s live recordings. “We were really organized and ready to take that on. The sound turned out great and it’s a cool collection of songs,” he said.

“Presto” is an album made mostly of fresh songs and new direction for the Baltimore-based band—but there’s definitely still something there for die-hard fans, too. For a band based so much on energy and jamming with the crowd, a studio album poses different obstacles.

“We’ll really try to portray that live feel. Such a big part of our show is

Black History, Via Comedy

“Hammered Black History” focuses on the African American presence in Oregon in a tangible, relatable way

By Cayla Clark

Bend local Johnny Alfredo hopes to bring awareness to African American contributions to Central Oregon society and culture.

black people were targeted. No other minorities were specifically named.”

Yet, rather than focus on the state’s history of discrimination, Alfredo aims to shine light on the contributions that African Americans have made to the state’s population as a whole. He organized Hammered Black History to showcase the positive impact that the black population has had in Oregon (think Drunk History, but live).

“There really isn’t a lot of conversation about Black History in Oregon outside of African American Studies classes, you know? We wanted to present important black figures in Oregon

history in a relatable format,” Alfredo said. “These are historical figures that had a huge impact on societal norms in the state. Pioneers of the game. They should be well-known figures, but I don’t recall ever learning about a black historical figure from Oregon.” Participants include Alfredo, Cody Michael and Anyssa Bohanan. Historical figures covered include Clarence Pruitt, the first black dental school graduate at Oregon State University, and Kathryn Hall Bogle, the first black person to be paid for contributing to The Oregonian.

Alfredo also emphasized the importance of being an ally in a community

Happenings for Local Artists Greg Amanti wins award; Sarah Root’s work displayed at downtown library

Last week brought some great news for local artist Greg Amanti, who won the grand prize award in the New York Center for Photographic Art’s Juried show, “Water.”

Amanti’s composition, “Italian Conversation,” was selected by juror and photographer Mark Sink—well known for his images of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and more.

It’s not a surprise to see Amanti win such a prestigious award, with his work always feeling new and innovative.

that lacks a strong history of diversity and acceptance. “It’s going to be a fun event, but I hope to get people thinking,” he said. “What more can be done

by African American allies? As it stands, their voices do tend to get heard. They have bigger platforms. The examples we’re sharing, of African Americans who have done incredible things in Central Oregon… they’ve always been backed by white allies. If we’re going to say that we support racial diversity, we have to do so actively.”

He also explained the importance of diversification of representation.

“When you hear about black historical figures, you tend to hear about them in relation to the criminal justice system.

It’s pretty one-dimensional, you know?

It’s important to align black people with other things. Educational pursuits, creative endeavors… ask yourself, is diversity being accurately represented? If the answer is no, what can you do to help make necessary changes?”

the Deschutes Public Library now has on display the original illustrations from Sarah Root’s upcoming children’s book, “Warrior Friends.” The large-scale drawings, done with color pencil, are alive with fun, whimsy and soul. Using a small medium like color pencil to cover large areas seems daunting, but the medium brings this dreamy work to life, like walking through a magical land. Root’s work is on display until April 8.

Greg Amanti’s “Italian Conversation" New York Center for Photographic Art

“Italian Conversation” involved allowing ice to build up on a string to achieve the look shown here.

Working with ordinary objects like string and tape, Amanti builds temporary installations and allows them to take shape over time—like ice building up on a string, as in his winning piece. The final results are large-scale photographic images of wonderful, dreamlike, abstract photos that

tell a story. His piece will be on display in the New York Center for Photographic Art from March 31 to April 11. Locals can also check him out on Instagram and see the fantastic work in process.

ccording to a 2019 United States Census Bureau report, Bend’s racial composition is 92.7% white.

African Americans make up 0.6% of the city’s population. As it turns out, there may be valid reasons behind the longtime lack of racial diversity. The last of three Oregon black exclusion laws was repealed in 1926; these laws were initially written to prevent African Americans from settling in Oregon. While the first two laws didn’t last, they did their part in setting a tone of intolerance and segregation.

The first law, quickly repealed a year after it was written, was enacted by the state’s provisional government in 1844. It stated that any black settler who refused to leave was subject to up to 39 lashes. The second law, enacted in 1849 by the Territorial Legislature, straight out prohibited black people from coming to Oregon. That law lasted three years. The third law, written into Oregon’s 1857 Constitution, became Section 35 of the Bill of Rights. This law prohibited black people from owning land, and wasn’t repealed until 1926.

North Carolina native Johnny Alfredo moved to Bend last year. He explained that becoming one of a handful of African American community members was a major adjustment.

“The exclusion laws had a major impact on the black community, and they still do, 100 years later. There has been a lot of progress as far as accepting minorities over the years, but if you look at the laws, you’ll see that

Book Chapel

Bend’s newest bookstore, brought to you by a former software developer turned Orthodox priest

By Joshua Savage

31

Father Damian Kuolt in front of the colorful mural on the side of the bookstore, painted by artist Nicole Fontana Campbell in 2017.

Asked why they chose Bend, he laughs.

“I visited the DMV and they were so polite and courteous. You really get a sense of how a town is by visiting the DMV,” Kuolt explained. This article took not one, but a few visits—mostly because Father Damian has so much going on with remodeling and running the new bookstore, which changed hands in June and reopened in December. A customer

walking in, a phone call, one of his dedicated volunteers asking a question; all competing distractions. Still, Kuolt never fails to make sure a customer feels welcome.

Formerly known as Open Book, the newly renamed store is named after the famous Byzantine chapel, the Hagia Sophia, a magnificent structure built in Turkey nearly 1,500 years ago. The church still stands today, attracting visitors from all over the world.

WHAT’S YOUR 2020 VISION?

“Our shop got rid of some books to make room for the chapel and coffee shop. Nobody in Bend really wants to read about gardening in Vermont. Our goal is to carry local and out of print books, and we really want to build a quality collection," Kuolt said.

Agia Sophia still retains a large selection of recycled literature from its predecessor and welcomes trade-ins.

Former customers of the Open Book who exchanged books still have credit and are able to use it.

Since its Dec. 6 soft opening, the bookstore has already hosted events; a vinegar tasting and a First Friday Art & Author event featuring the work of Christopher Burkett and yours truly. With a variety of events planned for the near future—more authors, medical professionals discussing palliative care, and a coffee tasting, to name a few— Agia Sophia is sure to attract locals with all types of interests.

The revamped room in the back of the shop allows ample space for groups.

Father Damian encourages local businesses, book clubs, and others to hold meetings there.

“We’re here to create a better community. I’m not here to proselytize. I just want people to have a place to connect, to relax, and to contemplate the simple things in life.”

alking into Bend’s newest bookstore, Agia Sophia, the first sound I hear are those of relaxing, ancient Slavonic chants. An immediate feeling of calmness pervades me as a friendly, loquacious priest, fully garbed in a cassock, greets me. Within minutes Father Damian Kuolt, the cheerful owner, offers me a cup of coffee and a slice of baklava.

“This is homemade by a local Greek (Crete) woman,” he says, drizzling sweet syrup over the dessert. I almost ask for another. Just as tasty is my coffee, supplied by Bend’s Farewell Coffee Roasters. As we sit at the newly installed coffee and pastry bar, located along Greenwood Avenue in Bend, I ask Kuolt about his decision to become a priest.

“My grandfather was a missionary in India, so I believe the ministry called me at an early age,” he explains.

Before the priesthood he made a living as a software developer— a profession that allowed him to travel to Europe, Asia, and many other parts of the world. Eventually though, the urge to serve others won out. Currently, he’s the pastor at St. Jacob’s Orthodox Christian Church. Gatherings are held at the coffee shop.

We spoke about the misconceptions of being a priest.

“For one, I’m a priest and I’m married. My wife Joanna and I raised four children. While the Western Church splintered into hundreds of religions (Catholics, Baptists, etc.), the Eastern Orthodox church hasn’t changed since it began in the first century.”

Four Bend lunches, $7 or less

or a city of fewer than 100,000 people, Bend has a plethora of food options. But finding lunch options that don’t require dinner-price payouts?

A bit harder to come by.

Since we count ourselves among the hard-working, budget conscious downtown workforce that doesn’t always want to resort to cold sammies compiled in a community kitchen, we set out to find some low-budget lunch options. Here are four Bend lunches costing less than $7.

$6 Taco Salad A longtime local favorite, Super Burrito serves up fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine at a beyond reasonable price. They can

easily cater to dietary restrictions (even insane ones, like my corn allergy) and the price and service are a perfect combo for a quick work week lunch break or an inexpensive family dinner. Chips and homemade salsa are self-serve and complimentary, as are spicy doses of escabeche (pickled jalapeños and carrots). No matter how swamped the cashiers are, they welcome every customer with a warm smile.

The best part of this fast and friendly dining experience? None of the burritos cost over $7, and none of the tacos cost over $3. My veggie taco salad was only $6, and it was so big and filling I (could have) saved half for dinner. – Cayla Clark Super Burrito

$6.50 Triple S: Salad, soda, slice The amount of Pizza Mondo I consume is pretty high. I’d say I average—at the very minimum—one slice every other week. I’d feel pretty confident in saying it’s even more than that, because most of the time I get two slices when I drop in.

It’s close to the office, it’s delicious, and Nicole Vulcan

the cherry on top? It’s affordable.

For a fast and cheap bite, Mondo’s lunch special is pretty hard to beat.

You get a hardy salad, a pizza slice of your choice and a soda, available every day from 11:30am to 3:30pm, so if your lunch break isn’t at a set time, you have some wiggle room to catch this deal at your convenience. And it only costs $6.50! - Isaac Biehl Pizza Mondo

811 NW Wall St., Bend

$7 Soup Café Yumm’s menu features its staple rice-and-beans Yumm Bowl and a variety of salads and sandwiches that provide a nutritious meal on the go. But the best deal on the menu is the large house soup, served with a side of bread and butter for $7. (Ask them to heat up the bread!) They serve a Chipotle Chili (mild) and Chilean Zucchini Stew most days, and then rotate out two or three other high-protein options like Hickory Lentil Soup and Moroccan Chickpea Soup. The African Groundnut Stew occasionally makes an appearance on the menu and is made with peanuts, yams, cabbage, tomatoes, onion and cilantro. For a lighter lunch, the Tomato Curry Soup is balanced with coconut milk, and spiced with curry, black mustard seeds and onion.

Café Yumm uses at least 50% organic ingredients (according to its website) and everything is made to order.

Karli Foster and Ellen Chamberlain own both the Old Mill District location and the store at Neff Place near St. Charles Medical Center. Their crew is fast and consistent, and the menu offers plenty of options for vegans, vegetarians and people who are gluten free. - Laurel Brauns Café Yumm Old Mill District 325 SW Powerhouse Dr., Ste 130

New Restaurant, Same Head Chef Bad Wolf’s old head chef is hired on by new plant-based restaurant When Bad Wolf Bakery and Bistro shut its doors in September, head chef Spencer Montoya found himself displaced. He moved on to a pizza parlor, but continued looking for an innovative restaurant that would allow him the opportunity to express himself. Fortunately for Montoya, he soon caught wind of a new restaurant opening—in the very space Bad Wolf once occupied.

Deeply Rooted, an exclusively plant-based restaurant, is slated to open the first week of March. “We’re a completely plant-based, from scratch kitchen,” Montoya said. “It’s conceptually unique in that we’re both a juicery and a bar, featuring fresh juice and craft cocktails. We’re doing everything from comfort food to raw dishes, and everything is locally sourced and sustainable. Our goal is to change the way people think about plantbased food.”

A plant-based diet consists mostly of foods derived from fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes. “The owner, Devin Sims, is a longtime vegan,” Montoya explained. He noted that the divergent approach to plantbased food is going to be mirrored by the restaurant’s décor. “Most of the woodwork inside the restaurant was done by Devin and his close friend.

Right now we’re really bringing everything to life and making some final additions.”

Montoya is working closely with his culinary and cocktail team to make sure every recipe is perfected. “I was hired to come up with all of the recipes for the food and juice menu,” he said. “Macey Martin, the bar manager, is coming up with all of the cocktails. I’m really excited to finally bring our comprehensive menu to the public. Bend has a lot of amazing food, but it doesn’t have anything like this.”

$5.50 (or so) Salad Bar Consuming a salad while at my desk is not something I do just to offset the unhealthiness of eating at said desk; it also happens to be one of the cheapest available lunches I’ve found within walking distance of the Source. Market of Choice’s salad bar, at $8.99 a pound, might not appear to be super cheap at first blush—but I can vouch, from many trips there—that you don’t need to pack a full pound into your to-go box to make a hearty meal. I opt for the medium-size cardboard box (thanks for bagging the single-use plastic, MOC!) and fill it up with all the yummy stuff I like, and generally never go over about $6.

For this challenge, my box weighed in at a whopping $5.50. If you’re pinching pennies, you might opt for fewer cherry tomatoes or other “heavy” stuff, but a few trips around the bar and you’ll get the hang of what’s going to weigh your box down. Word to the wise, however: MOC’s Hawaiian poke bar is not part of the salad bar. Indulging in that raw fish delight will cost you $14.99 a pound. – Nicole Vulcan

A statewide collaboration that catches the Oregon vibe

By Zach Beckwith, Head Brewer, Bend Brewing Company

Zach Beckwith

his Saturday marks the 12th annual iteration of the statewide brewery open house, Zwickelmania. Organized by the Oregon Brewers Guild, Zwickelmania gives beer lovers an intimate peek behind the curtain and into the cellars of breweries around the state.

This year, the Oregon Brewers Guild once again organized a state-wide collaboration beer for the occasion. It’s available through local collaborators including Bend Brewing Company, Boneyard, Deschutes, Goodlife and Wild Ride.

Work began on the statewide collaboration beer, dubbed State of Excitement IPA, back in November, with an open call to all OBG members to participate. Collaborating breweries were required to actively contribute in the collaboration process and to commit to buying and selling the collaboration beer, with proceeds to benefit the Guild. After the initial signup period closed in November, 30 breweries, from the little-known Leikam, Grixsen and Binary Brewing companies, to powerhouses like Ninkasi and Buoy, coming together for one epic collaboration.

From there, the collaborating breweries had to determine what beer style best represented Oregon beer. They chose, perhaps not surprisingly, a West State of Excitement IPA, perched on a zwickel.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic 1917: From director Sam Mendes comes a war movie unlike any you’ve seen before. Crafted to look like the entire film is done in one shot, “1917” is easily the most intense war film since “Saving Private Ryan” or “The Thin Red Line.” See this on the biggest and loudest screen you can find. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

THE GENTLEMEN: Ever since “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” Guy Ritchie has been making very specific British crime comedies, but “The Gentlemen” is easily his best since 2000’s “Snatch.”

Even as the originality of these movies has worn off over the years, Ritchie’s frenetic direction keeps them worth watching. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

2020 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS: Every year since they opened, Tin Pan Theater has exclusively showed the Oscar nominated shorts.

This year has the strongest group of films so far. Broken into animated, documentary and live action categories, the films span every genre imaginable. Do not miss. Tin Pan Theater

GRETEL & HANSEL: From visionary director Oz

A HIDDEN LIFE: The new film by legendary director Terrence Malick tells the story of a German man who refuses to join the Nazi party during WWII and is sent to prison. This is Malick back in fine form, as he moves away from his abstract work like “Knight of Cups” and heads back into historical fiction. Sisters Movie House

JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL: Everyone’s complain-

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE: It’s shocking the producers didn’t wait until the fourth installment to use this title, but at least we have another one of this ridiculous franchise to enjoy. This one is actually surprisingly serious, focused more on aging and mortality than one would think for a movie like this. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Redmond Cinema BIRDS OF PREY: An absolutely bonkers comic

book movie featuring Margot Robbie as psychotic anti-hero Harley Quinn. For everyone who thought “Joker” was an original comic book movie, “Birds of Prey” shows audiences how weird DC Comics can get with their movies. Way too much fun. Regal Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

DOLITTLE: This movie bounces between being

classy and stupid so quickly it’s bound to give you whiplash, but it’s definitely not as bad as critics would have you believe. Downey gives it his all and there’s something refreshing about the film’s lack of pretension. Still, there are a lot of fart jokes. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

DOWNHILL: This is an American remake of the fantastic Swedish/French film “Force Majeure” which follows a family on vacation having troubles. After a false avalanche, the dad ditches his wife and kids as he runs to safety, completely losing his family’s faith in him. The remake won’t be as good as the original, but Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are always fun to watch.

Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema FANTASY ISLAND: Based on the TV show that ran from 1977 to 1984, this version of “Fantasy Island” turns everything into a Monkey’s Paw-type situation where everyone’s wishes turn horrifying and deadly. Changing existing intellectual property into a horror movie is a great idea. Can we get a horror-movie version of “Love Boat” or “Charlie’s Angels” please? Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX FROZEN 2: While not possessing the same charms as the original, “Frozen 2” is still another solid entry in the Disney canon. The songs aren’t quite as memorable, but holy heck, the animation is absolutely stunning to look at and Kristen Bell is a national treasure, so there’s still plenty to enjoy with realistic expectations.

Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

Perkins comes this bleakly beautiful retelling of the classic Grimm fairy tale. Some of the strangest and strongest horror imagery of the last few years, this deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Will creep you out to your bones. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

ing that this is just more of the same and I’m like, “Yes, please. I’ll take three more, please.” Kevin Hart does the greatest Danny Glover impression and Danny DeVito is a national treasure…what more do you need? There’s a scene with DeVito climbing down a ladder that made me snot laugh.

This movie is a delight. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

KNIVES OUT: “Clue” is one of the best movies ever made and “Knives Out” makes it look basic. With a perfect cast featuring Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Daniel Craig and a dozen more, this movie will melt your brain and then rearrange the pieces incorrectly. A new classic. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX LITTLE WOMEN: I can’t imagine a better Christmas present than seeing Greta Gerwig’s take on “Little Women.” With a cast featuring the finest women actors of their generation, this should be the definitive take on the material. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

MIDNIGHT FAMILY: An absolutely riveting documentary about a family that runs a private, for-profit ambulance in Mexico City. This will pin you to your chair for an hour and a half as you watch the Ochoa family rocket through the streets trying to be the first ambulance to arrive at horrific scenes. Tin Pan Theater PARASITE: The Oscar winner for Best Picture and Best Foreign Film comes back to theaters in a black and white edition to deeply unsettle everyone who missed it the first time. The smartest, funniest and most shocking movie you will see all year. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Tin Pan Theater THE PHOTOGRAPH: Two of my current favorite

actors to watch are Issa Rae and Lakeith Stanfield, so a romance that’s just about the two of them falling in love sounds perfect. Following the trials and tribulations of multiple generations of a family, “The Photograph” takes what could have been a generic romance and makes something timely and powerful. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: A live-action mov-

ie about a really fast alien who looks like a hedgehog and the evil doctor who wants to run experiments on him. This should be terrible, but somehow it’s charming and surprisingly not annoying... as far as movies about alien hedgehogs are concerned. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER: The ninth and “final” film in the Skywalker Saga sees Rey, Finn and Poe take on Kylo Ren and the First Order for all the marbles. Remember, no matter who lives or dies, the real winner is Disney. Every single time. Always Disney. Our new benevolent overlords. Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX

STREAMING THIS WEEK “PICARD” If you’ve ever felt like “Star Trek” wasn’t enough like “Star Wars” and needed martial arts, gun fights and F-Bombs, then look no further because “Picard” is the cynical and violent “Star Trek” series you’ve been waiting for. So, so very cynical. courtesy IMDb

is Just the Beginning SCREEN 'Parasite' A South Korean cinematic primer

By Jared Rasic South Korean cinema after “Parasite,” here are a few more movies to check out that might make you a convert like myself (many of which are available to stream right now!).

Okja (2017): A lovely comedic fable about a little girl and her giant super pig. Also directed by Bong Joon-ho, “Okja” does for environmentalism what “Parasite” does for class and wealth disparity. Unforgettable. Now Streaming on Netflix.

Burning (2018): Based on the short story by Haruki Murakami, “Burning” is a slow-moving psychological mystery about jealousy and class panic.

Director Lee Chang-dong makes the most unassuming images feel laden with dread and portents of doom.

It won’t leave your head for months.

Now Streaming on Netflix.

The Handmaiden (2016): Park Chan-wook is the filmmaker mostly given the credit for popularizing South Korean films in the U.S., and his most recent masterwork is an intensely erotic romantic thriller set during Courtesy Netflix

Park Chan-wook’s “The Handmaiden" offers a glorious look at a troublesome time.

the Japanese occupation of Korea. The gorgeous cinematography and sets will sweep anyone up in this lush classic. Now Streaming on Amazon Prime.

The Wailing (2016): Easily one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen, “The Wailing” is a ghost story set in a rural Korean village. As terrible things start happening, the locals blame a Japanese man newly arrived in town, leading to a mash-up of body horror, demons, racism, evil kids and zombies. It’s 156 minutes long and doesn’t waste a second. Now Streaming on Shudder.

I Saw the Devil (2010): My personal favorite South Korean director is Kim Jee-woon. This is his finest film, an action/revenge thriller about a secret agent badass whose fiancée is murdered by a serial killer, who he then hunts and toys with all across the country. Filled with twists, turns and

jaw dropping action, “I Saw the Devil” is perfect for those missing a little “Dexter” in your life. Now Streaming on Amazon Prime.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring (2003): A romantic drama about the life of a monk living at a Buddhist monastery floating on a lake in a forest. Elegiac and hauntingly beautiful, this movie changed how I viewed the world. Now Streaming on Amazon Prime.

I couldn’t leave you without mentioning a few great South Korean movies that aren’t instantly available for streaming: “A Tale of Two Sisters,” “My Sassy Girl,” “Poetry,” “Peppermint Candy,” “The Host,” “Thirst,” “Memories of Murder,” “Secret Sunshine,” “Mother,” “The Yellow Sea,” “The Age of Shadows” and “A Taxi Driver.” Get ‘em where you can.

s I’m sure anyone who pays much attention to film has probably noticed, “Parasite,” the South Korean film from master filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, swept the 2020 Oscars by winning the four top awards: Best International Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, while making history as the first-ever foreign Best Picture winner. That’s not including the wins from the Screen Actors Guild, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and Golden Globes—while also being the first Korean movie ever to take home the Palme d’Or from Cannes.

I’ve been obsessed with Korean movies for about 15 years, ever since I saw Park Chan-wook’s mesmerizing and heartbreaking 2003 masterpiece, “Oldboy.” Like, seriously obsessed.

Some weeks I’ll only watch random Korean movies I find on Youtube just to see if there’s some hidden gem I have yet to discover. There always is.

Healing and Loving the Land

On efforts to preserve parts of Central Oregon for wildlife... and future generations

you like. Buyers will receive additional information regarding the natural values of the property, plus the latitude and longitude of the acre.

Now, get this… Each donation is matched four-fold; at $46 per acre, the donor is paying 1/4 of the acre’s cost, which triggers matching funds from ODLT and Global Wildlife Conservation, for a total purchase price of $182 per acre. ODLT is covering all legal, management and administration costs, and conserve.org is paying for credit card fees. Oh yes, and all donations made through conserve.org go directly to purchasing the land.

Oregon’s high desert, although composed of significant areas of public land, also contains tracts of private land that are critical to wildlife habitat, unique ecosystems and scenic values. Securing these holdings furthers restoration and conservation efforts in the region and provides access to the parcels and surrounding public lands.

Unfortunately, like millions of acres of land throughout Oregon, the Diablo Mountain Wilderness was pounded hard by early sheep and cattle grazing.

Ecosystems have been destroyed by continued present cattle grazing, which has never given the land the opportunity to heal from the abuse of the mid-1800s.

The BLM, in its eagerness to create cow pastures that have replaced native vegetation, hasn’t helped matters much. However, management of the Diablo Wilderness Study Area is going to change things.

If ODLT can get all those tiny parcels of private ground into their conservation plan, the ecosystems within those areas will be restored, wildlife habitat

first and foremost: then, cattle will be welcomed onto the land, but with strict guidelines. There will be no more of that old saying, “eat everything in sight, boys and we’ll get more tomorrow.”

The largest private acreage within the wilderness study area is known as Lost Cabin, which is near the 750mile long Oregon Desert Trail. There are natural artesian springs very near the old cabin. Some fascinating geological interactions with sand and springs have created unique land forms around the cabin, making the area especially important for water birds and spring dwellers. It is also a very important source of water for thru-hikers over a pretty dry stretch of trail.

Diablo Mountain has a series of active golden eagle nests on it which are being watched over carefully by the Oregon Eagle Foundation.

The parcels of land under ODLT’s protection are a significant part of the high desert ecosystem and contain key elements for sage grouse and golden eagle populations of the area. The combination of ODLT and conserve.org making it possible for these historical private lands to be returned to productive ecosystems will be a treasure for the nature of the area for years to come.

I agree with Aldo Leopold when he wrote, “We abuse land because we regard 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.

“If the land mechanism as a whole is good then every part is good, whether we understand it or not…To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering.”

I’m in. How about you?

While cornhole might seem like a low-commitment game to drunkenly play on the lawn, for some, it’s a way of life.

Renee Yocum moved to Bend from Lake Oswego with her husband Chris in 2018. Soon, they were playing cornhole daily at Avid Cider Co. “I enjoyed the game so much that I slowly got more and more involved,” Yocum said. “Our friend Dustin Close had been toying with the idea of starting a professional league in Bend, but hadn’t gotten it up and running.” In 2019, Close and the Yocums organized High Desert Cornhole. Yocum, now the regional director of the American Cornhole League in Bend, detailed the many ins and outs of professional cornhole.

“There wasn’t a space in Bend for those who wanted to get involved in professional cornhole. Players of all skill levels are welcome. It’s an awesome sport, and we want to make it accessible to everyone.”

How does one become a cornhole pro? “Points are earned by participating in tournaments,” Yocum explained.

“First you start out as a novice player, then you move on to the intermediate level. You’ll learn the different shots, and how to use the sides of the bag, things like that. The next level is advanced, or professional.” She explained that local tournament participants rack up between 10 and 20 points. More points are gained for regional tournaments.

Boss of the Bags Cornhole Tournament take places Saturday at Pickleball Zone. Teams of two pay $50 to participate, with the chance for the top three teams from each bracket to win cash payouts totaling $800. “Most people don’t view cornhole as a sport,” Yokum said. It absolutely is - it’s competitive, but laidback. You can drink during tournaments, you’ll meet a bunch of great people… it’s an all-around good time.”

S

everal years ago, while conducting some fence lizard business at the Deschutes Land Trust’s Metolius Preserve, I ran into Amanda Egertson, the land trust’s stewardship director.

She was conducting a restoration project on the preserve with a vigor I found remarkable—planting grass over and over and over, day after day.

The Metolius Preserve was once a picnic ground for the old Brooks-Scanlon Lumber company in Bend.

In that capacity the land was trampled and most of the native ground cover was no longer there, and what was had been eaten down to nubbins by deer and elk. In spite of this degradation, three species of native lizards are living there, including sagebrush, fence and horned lizards.

Egertson loves the land and decided to make things right again by planting native grasses in the preserve. As a result, the mule deer thought they’d died and gone to heaven; here were these beautiful, luscious grass plugs suddenly appearing on their land. All they had to do was be patient and the ones they ate would soon be replaced.

And that’s the way it went until Egertson hit on the right deer repellent (rotten eggs & garlic) to coat the soil around the grass. But that took quite a while and lots and lots of grass, dedication and patience to work out.

The preserve is healing, and you should see the thriving grasses now!

Well, it just so happens that Brent Fenty of the newly organized Oregon Desert Land Trust (ODLT) is about to do something similar. He has his eye on some small chunks of private land located in a Bureau of Land Management Wilderness Study Area southeast of Bend.

The Diablo Mountain Wilderness Study Area is one of the largest in the U.S., spanning 118,794 acres, located about an hour southeast of Bend. The topography varies from salt flats in the west to steep escarpments in the east.

It’s home to mule deer, pronghorn antelope and golden eagles. One of the oldest studied prehistoric sites in North America, Paisley Cave, is also nearby.

Here’s the way Fenty’s trying to make it work: For $46 an acre, anyone can contribute to the permanent conservation of this area—home to wildlife gems such as migratory birds and Desert big horn Sheep, within the BLM’s Diablo Mountain WSA in northern Lake County.

Due Diligence: The Homework of Buying a House It’s more than the house. It’s also the neighborhood.

Talking to people in the neighborhood can seem a bit daunting, but there’s no better way to get a true picture of the area than to talk to the folks who live there.

People who live in the neighborhood can provide a wealth of information, such as what the streets look like in inclement weather or the state of the homeowner’s association and covenants, conditions & restrictions (commonly known as CC&Rs) enforcement. Neighbors will also know whether it’s a close-knit neighborhood where things like block parties and BBQs are commonplace—all helpful insights to the neighborhood.

Schools play a key role for so many buyers when looking at and comparing neighborhoods. Get out and visit the schools. Schedule a tour, speak with the teachers and administrators. Definitely take advantage of the open houses that most schools offer for prospective students and parents. Dig into getting as much information as one can about the neighborhood schools and programs.

Think about visiting the local police or sheriff’s department to have a conversation with them about crime rates and traffic in the area. And often forgotten, but very important, is looking at emergency evacuation routes.

Other things to think about are noise and light pollution. Is the neighborhood close to concert and festival venues that may be louder at certain times of the year? What about road noise or train tracks? Take the time to visit the neighborhood and just listen.

Taking the time for the extra due diligence will serve a buyer very well, and ultimately help solidify the decision and confidence in the purchase. As I often say, buying a home is one of the largest purchases of one’s life, and taking the extra time to investigate all aspects of said purchase is time well spent.

Thinking about buying a new home or refinancing?

If so, let’s chat.

41 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 08 / FEBRUARY 20, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

F

ourteen years ago, I was riding around a northwest Bend neighborhood with my mother, looking at homes and the general area. We found ourselves near the local high school as students came out and parents were pulling in for pickup. My mother pulled to the side of the road and we sat for a few minutes observing the hustle and bustle that comes with the end of the school day. I asked her, very perplexed, what in the world are we doing? Her response: we are doing due diligence for your sister.

I grew up in the real estate and development industries. I’ve seen more homes in my lifetime that one can begin to count, but on that car ride with my mother, I realized that buying a home requires so much more investigation (i.e. due diligence) than just looking at the home itself.

In layman’s terms, due diligence simply means doing your homework. Purchasing a home involves several standard items of due diligence: title reports, professional home inspections, appraisal and seller’s disclosures. These are all incredibly important, yet don’t have the ability to tell the story on the neighborhood. What is the traffic like? Is it a busy, noisy neighborhood? How are the schools? What are the neighbors like? These are all things I get asked regularly—all very important things, because purchasing a home isn’t just about purchasing the structure; it’s about the neighborhood as well.

I encourage all of my clients to frequent the neighborhood where they’re looking to buy. Visit at various times of the day. Notice if the neighborhood feels dark. Where does the sun fall at different times of the day? Observe the comings and goings, particularly between 4 and 6 pm. Notice the traffic and the general feel of the neighborhood. Get out and take a walk. Talk to the neighbors and ask them their thoughts about the neighborhood.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Flee Infestation Disturbingly, I’ve had

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

...

“Draft,” or maybe a “Cold One.” Some refer to it as “Brewski,” “Suds,” or “Cerveza.”

Whether you reach for an “Oat Soda,” a “Barley Pop,” or just a regular old “Beer” — most can agree that Central Oregon is a special place for that curious concoction that makes everything better.

Advertise in the Source Weekly’s Beer Issue and give readers the haps on your taps!

two close female friends “ghost” me in five months. I’ve known each for 15 years.

(They don’t know each other, and one lives out of state.) I’ve tried repeatedly to contact each, asking “Did I do anything to hurt or offend you?” No response. I just want the truth so I can move on.

—Baffled There comes a time when you wish someone would treat you with a little more kindness, like by screaming out all the reasons you deserve to be left for dead and have your face eaten off by raccoons.

Even more painful than being dumped by a friend is being dumped by a friend and having no idea why. Lingering questions we can’t answer are mental weevils. Their fave food is our peace of mind, which they gnaw through at random moments. In scientific terms, psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik found that when we have unfinished business, the mind remains in a “state of tension” until we get closure.

Questions that are both unanswered and unanswerable eat away at us because of the way our memory is engineered. Psychologist Robert Bjork explains that we encode information into memory by first taking it in, then taking a break from it, and later going back and retrieving it. Each “retrieval” is a “learning event,” burnishing the info more deeply into memory. So, each time you pull up this unanswerable question, “Why did these friends ditch me?” you move it a seat or two closer to the front row of your consciousness.

To shove it back to the crappier seats, consider the apparent function of nagging questions: pushing us to figure things out.

(We can’t learn from our mistakes unless we know what they were.) Though “Why did they ditch me?” will likely remain a mystery, there are constructive questions you can answer, like, “Am I generally a good friend? Are there ways I fell short?”

Also consider whether you have shared values. We like to believe this is the basis of our friendships. However, I love the finding by psychologist Mitja Back that we tend to form friendships through “mere proximity” -- like being next-door neighbors -- though we’ll congratulate ourselves for “choosing” so wisely...well, until we find out who they voted for.

Another way to cut the spin cycle is imagining a plausible reason each disappeared on you (like clashing values) and accepting it as THE reason. Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus finds that recalling an event we were told about but

didn’t actually experience can implant it in memory, turning it into an experience we swear we had. So, the more you reflect on the plausible reason, the more it might pass for the actual one.

Finally, you could try to make peace with the mystery. When “Why did they ditch me?” swings around, have a stock answer at the ready: “Hey, self, remember I’ve decided to accept that I just can’t know, and I’m good with that.” Comforting as it would be to finally get answers, sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself is not only give up hope but crush it, burn it in a trash can, and then flush its ashes down the toilet.

Mop! In The Name Of Love Why are men okay with living in gross conditions? The guy I started dating is a sweetheart, but his place is absolutely disgusting (including the kitchen and bathroom). He doesn’t even notice it. Why do women seem to have a higher standard for cleanliness than men?

—Dismayed Some men do wait a while to clean the bathroom -- like until they go from needing Amy Alkon a bottle of Mr. Clean to needing a bottle of Mr. Arson.

Science suggests you’re right in observing that men, generally speaking, are less disturbed by gross living conditions. Study after study finds higher “disgust sensitivity” in women, meaning women tend to be more icked out by signs of pathogens -bacteria and microorganisms -- and indications of possible infection or disease.

Evolutionary psychologist Diana Fleischman explains that women have faced recurring issues over evolutionary history that may have led to “heightened pathogen disgust sensitivity.” These include women’s temporary declines in immunity during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. “Women also must protect children and infants who are vulnerable (to) disease.” Additionally, women are “uniquely able” to pass infections on to their offspring during pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding.

Let the guy know you’re a woman with needs: clean sheets and towels, a clean bathroom and kitchen, and general housekeeping at his place. Suggest options (rather than telling him what to do): He could clean the place himself; however, hiring a cleaning service (especially for the first go-round) might be a good idea. Professionals have vastly higher standards for cleanliness, while he seems to be waiting for a sign to scour the place -- like the crud on the coffee table growling at him when he sets down his beer.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you feel ready to change your mind about an idea or belief or theory that has been losing its usefulness? Would you consider changing your relationship with a once-powerful influence that is becoming less crucial to your life-long goals? Is it possible you have outgrown one of your heroes or teachers? Do you wonder if maybe it’s time for you to put less faith in a certain sacred cow or overvalued idol?

According to my analysis of your astrological omens, you’ll benefit from meditating on these questions during the coming weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When she was alive more than 2,500 years ago, the Greek poet Sappho was so famous for her lyrical creations that people referred to her as “The Poetess” and the “Tenth Muse.” (In Greek mythology, there were nine muses, all goddesses.) She was a prolific writer who produced over 10,000 lines of verse, and even today she remains one of the world’s most celebrated poets. I propose that we make her your inspirational role model for the coming months. In my view, you’re poised to generate a wealth of enduring beauty in your own chosen sphere.

Proposed experiment: Regard your daily life as an art project.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Have you ever dropped out of the daily grind for a few hours or even a few days so as to compose a master plan for your life? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to give yourself that necessary luxury.

According to my analysis, you’re entering a phase when you’ll generate good fortune for yourself if you think deep thoughts about how to create your future. What would you like the story of your life to be on March 1, 2025? How about March 1, 2030?

And March 1, 2035? I encourage you to consult your soul’s code and formulate an inspired, invigorating blueprint for the coming years. Write it down!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian novelist William Makepeace Thackeray (1819–1875) is famous for Vanity Fair, a satirical panorama of 19th-century British society. The phrase “Vanity Fair” had been previously used, though with different meanings, in the Bible’s book of Ecclesiastes, as well as in works by John Bunyan and St. Augustine. Thackeray was lying in bed near sleep one night when the idea flew into his head to use it for his own story. He was so thrilled, he leaped up and ran around his room chanting “Vanity Fair! Vanity Fair!” I’m foreseeing at least one epiphany like this for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. What area of your life needs a burst of delicious inspiration?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Who loves you best, Leo? Which of your allies and loved ones come closest to seeing you and appreciating you for who you really are? Of all the people in your life, which have done most to help you become the soulful star you want to be? Are there gem-like characters on the peripheries of your world that you would like to draw nearer? Are there energy drains that you’ve allowed to play too prominent a role? I hope you’ll meditate on questions like these in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you can access a wealth of useful insights and revelations about how to skillfully manage your relationships. It’s also a good time to reward and nurture those allies who have given you so much.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Doom and gloom dominate the forecasts made by many prophets.

They experience perverse glee in predicting, for

example, that all the rain forests and rivers will be owned by greedy corporations by 2050, or that extraterrestrial invaders who resemble crocodiles will take control of the U.S. government “for the good of the American people,” or that climate change will eventually render chocolate and bananas obsolete. That’s not how I operate. I deplore the idea that it’s only the nasty prognostications that are interesting. In that spirit, I make the following forecasts: The number of homeless Virgos will decrease dramatically in the near future, as will the number of dreamhome-less Virgos. In fact, I expect you folks will experience extra amounts of domestic bliss in the coming months. You may feel more at home in the world than ever before.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I don’t require everyone I learn from to be an impeccable saint. If I vowed to draw inspiration only from those people who flawlessly embody every one of my ethical principles, there’d be no one to be inspired by.

Even one of my greatest heroes, Martin Luther King Jr., cheated on his wife and plagiarized parts of his doctoral dissertation. Where do you stand on this issue, Libra? I bet you will soon be tested.

How much imperfection is acceptable to you?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio comedian John Cleese co-founded the troupe Monty Python more than fifty years ago, and he has been generating imaginative humor ever since. I suggest we call on his counsel as you enter the most creative phase of your astrological cycle. “This is the extraordinary thing about creativity,” he says. “If you just keep your mind resting against the subject in a friendly but persistent way, sooner or later you will get a reward from your unconscious.”

Here’s another one of Cleese’s insights that will serve you well: “The most creative people have learned to tolerate the slight discomfort of indecision for much longer, and so, just because they put in more pondering time, their solutions are more creative.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677) developed a vigorous and expansive vision. That’s why he became a leading intellectual influence in the era known as the Enlightenment. But because of his inventive, sometimes controversial ideas, he was shunned by his fellow Jews and had his books listed on the Catholic Church’s Index of Forbidden Books. Understandably, he sometimes felt isolated. To compensate, he spent lots of time alone taking wide-ranging journeys in his imagination. Even if you have all the friends and social stimulation you need, I hope you will follow his lead in the coming weeks—by taking wide-ranging journeys in your imagination. It’s time to roam and ramble in inner realms.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Absolute reason expired at eleven o’clock last night,” one character tells another in Henrik Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt. I’m happy to report that a different development is on the verge of occurring for you, Capricorn. In recent days, there may have been less than an ideal amount of reason and logic circulating in your world. But that situation will soon change. The imminent outbreak of good sense, rigorous sanity, and practical wisdom will be quite tonic. Take advantage of this upcoming grace period. Initiate bold actions that are well-grounded in objective rather than subjective truth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Renowned Aquarian composer Franz Schubert (1797–1828) created more than 700 compositions, some of which are still played by modern musicians. Many of his works were written on and for the piano— and yet he was so poor that he never owned a piano. If there has been a similar situation in your life, Aquarius—a lack of some crucial tool or support due to financial issues—I see the coming weeks as being an excellent time to set in motion the plans that will enable you to overcome and cure that problem.

Homework: I declare you champion, unvanquishable hero, and title-holder of triumphant glory. Do you accept? FreeWillAstrology.com

43 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 08 / FEBRUARY 20, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1908, British playwright W. Somerset Maugham reached the height of success. Four of his plays were being performed concurrently in four different London theaters. If you were ever in your life going to achieve anything near this level of overflowing popularity or attention, I suspect it would be this year. And if that’s a development you would enjoy and thrive on, I think the coming weeks will be an excellent time to set your intention and take audacious measures.

Even in an industry fraught with restriction, it sees 100% job growth

By Josh Jardine

L

eafly released its fourth annual Cannabis Jobs Report last month, and despite the troubling news of hundreds of recent industry layoffs, cannabis remains a fast-track growth industry. The numbers and industry expansion are impressive, but are still just a fraction of what’s possible when cannabis is eventually made legal. For now, the combined regulated medical and adult use cannabis industries in the U.S. employ 243,700 people, who, in some capacity, are all working toward the goal of selling cannabis.

Leafly explains that they undertake the time, expense, and effort to produce this report, along with numerous partners, because, frankly, no one else is doing so. But what about, say, the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Isn’t one of their responsibilities to report on, um, the statistics of labor? Well, funny thing about that.

As Leafly’s report notes, the mere act of calculating the size and scope of the cannabis industry isn’t a given: “When we started our annual jobs count four years ago, cannabis jobs weren’t recognized by any official labor statistics agency. They didn’t even have an North American Idustry Classification System code, which is a number within the international classification system used by labor economists,” it shared.

“The NAICS has since recognized the existence of cannabis jobs, but lumps them with ‘Miscellaneous Store Retailers’ (code 453998, which includes art supply stores, auction houses, candle shops, florists, and hot tub stores) and “Miscellaneous Crop Farming” (111998, which includes hay and grass seed, hops, mint, and agave). So that’s not really much progress.

“We developed our employment estimation methods based on past foundational work on the cannabis industry by MPG Consulting, Whitney Economics, BDS Analytics, New Frontier Data, Vangst, Headset, and state regulatory agencies.”

The report is packed with valuable and interesting data about both the industry as a whole, and 35 markets in individual states and the District of Columbia.

The top 10 states by cannabis related jobs are: 1) California (39,804) 2) Colorado (34,705) 3) Washington (23,756) 4) Oregon (18,274) 5) Florida (15,498) 6) Arizona (15.059) 7) Nevada (14,305)

8) Massachusetts (13,255) 9) Oklahoma (9,412) 10) Illinois (9,176) Oregon had “a 19% year-over-year increase in sales,” with over $800 million in 2019. Washington was noted for its 8% growth rate, and $1.21 billion in sales.

Cannabis jobs nationwide blew up, starting with 122,800 in 2017, 149,300 in 2018, 211,000 in 2019, and 243,700 for 2020, making the job growth in the past four years at 100%.

The growth in comparison to the fastest-growing careers is surprising, showing cannabis jobs surpassing nurse practitioners, information security analysts and solar voltaic installers by a wide margin.

Although Oregon hasn’t been doing the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program any favors since the implementation of the Adult Use program, other states with new medical programs are thriving beyond analysts’ predictions.

The report notes that Ohio’s MMJ program grew 273% last year, Pennsylvania’s MMJ dispensaries doubled its sales, and Oklahoma tripled iys MMJ sales to $350 million, creating 7,000 full-time jobs.

An equivalent report of the unregulated cannabis marketplace hasn’t been compiled by Leafly—because snitches get stitches and all—but the number of people employed there is sizable. Last September, the Los Angeles Times ran a piece citing an audit which determined “approximately 2,835 unlicensed dispensaries and delivery services operating in California. By comparison, only 873 cannabis sellers in the state are licensed, according to the Bureau of Cannabis Control.” Multiply that by the thousands of growers, trimmers, processors and edible makers needed to stock those unlicensed dispensaries and delivery services.

Cannabis remains an industry relegated to an illegal status that prohibits mundane but critical services such as checking and payroll, thus increasing costs and safety risks. Bank lending is also forbidden, reducing another crucial channel of capital. This, in turn, furthers consolidation as smaller, craft cannabis brands are choked out of the marketplace and existence without sufficient capitalization. Leafly’s numbers are remarkable when you consider that no other business has to operate with the restrictions and exclusions exclusive to the cannabis industry.
