OPINION The Doubt We Sow When We Appoint Politicians

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 03, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

L

ast week, locals saw the first in what will most likely be a number of filings for the mayor’s race in Bend. Former City Councilor Chris Piper’s announcement that he’s running to be Bend’s next mayor brought on a flurry of commentary from the local Twitterverse. Blue-leaning politicians and local political pundits bagged on Piper for being a former political appointee who, after failing to win over Bend voters to become a democratically elected city councilor during the 2020 election, now is trying to move a notch higher on the food chain and become mayor.

Others postulated about whether current City Councilor Melanie Kebler would also decide to run for mayor—postulations that have the appearance of a coordinated effort to build buzz around Kebler eventually announcing her candidacy. The mayoral position is Position 7 in Bend; if you’re a sitting councilor and want to run for it, you have to leave your current seat—in Kebler’s case, Position 1—to sit in it. Ironically, should she or any other sitting councilor with more time in their term win that election, the Council would need to fill the seat they would be vacating, creating another appointment scenario.

According to Bend’s city charter, “A vacancy in the council shall be filled within 30 days by appointment by the council.

If the council does not fill the vacancy by an appointment within 30 days, then the vacancy shall be filled at the next available election as provided by state law.”

Allowing for people to be appointed to vacant seats is embedded into Bend’s charter—a document that only changes by the will of the voters. While Piper’s appointment came with a lot of outcry over the fact that he was ultimately chosen over a woman of color (who appeared to be the top choice until the very end of the process), that questionable back-room decision can hardly be laid at Piper’s feet.

Still, in a time when voting and elections are being called into question, often needlessly, it is time to review this most un-democratic part of our electoral process— the position appointment. This part of our governmental process happens far more often than we as an editorial board feel comfortable with. We can call on our legislatures

and the U.S. Congress to make voting more free and open and fair and secure all we want—but that will not erase the fact that plenty of officials in elected positions got into their seats without taking part in the process at all.

For example, in Deschutes County, former County Clerk Nancy Blankenship decided to retire from her elected position last year, ahead of the end of her term, and appointed Steven Dennison to replace her.

The county clerk, as a reminder, is the official who administers elections. While Dennison is by all evidence a responsible and principled person who served under Blankenship for years before the appointment, seeing him appointed rather than elected can sow a seed of mistrust.

Piper’s appointment, judging by the response to his mayoral announcement, also sowed doubt that garnered far more commentary than any position he took as a councilor. If Kebler should run and the council is required to appoint another councilor to fill her seat, that appointment could also repeat this same dissatisfaction.

Where does it end? How can we move toward building more trust in government and elections with this glaring hole in the process? One could argue that the people appointing the appointees were elected.

Therefore, by their election, we are putting our faith and trust in them to make decisions like these. In the case of a prospective opening on the Bend City Council, should the City Council fail to appoint someone in time, seeing the seat remain open comes at a cost: a long-open seat, the lack of a tie-breaking vote on the council and also the costs of running an election.

Still, not appointing people to elected positions spares the electorate and the candidate from awkward relationships.

Political appointees could well be the very best of us, appointed by people who understand the background and wherewithal needed for a particular position. Other times, appointees get in by way of political pressure exerted on elected officials by those who opt to pull on the levers of power away from the public eye. Determining which one is which is perhaps the biggest hole in our otherwise-democratic system.

RE: CLIMATE CHANGE LETTERS, 1/20

RE: NEW SUNRIVER STATION AND TRAILS FUNDED NEWS, 1/20

We do realize, don’t we, that the fossil fuel industry can support an infinite number of fringe individuals to fool gullible Americans about climate change? The latest case in point is the Jan 20 Source letter claiming that we all need to “wake up” and read a book by “renowned scientist” Steve Koonin questioning the scientific consensus on climate. At this point in that infinite cycle of deceit, it should surprise no one that Dr. Koonin is not a climate scientist, but he was British Petroleum’s Chief Scientist from 2004 to 2009. When it comes to wishful thinking about climate, any scientist would seem to suffice: it’s like getting a cancer diagnosis from your oncologist then running to your chiropractor, who also works for the company that produces the toxic substances that caused your cancer, for a second opinion.

The letter also promotes Bjorn Lomborg as another “renowned scientist.”

Lomborg has a master’s degree and a PhD, but in political science, which is not actually science. In a review of Lomborg’s book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty concluded that "one couldn't prove that Lomborg had deliberately been scientifically dishonest, although he had broken the rules of scientific practice in that he interpreted results beyond the conclusions of the authors he cited."

Maybe they should build employee housing for all the workers required to keep the resorts and small businesses up and running which in turn creates more tax revenue.

What do the following have in common? Wolves dying in snares and traps, shot at night using thermal imaging devices and night vision goggles, gunned down while being chased by snowmobiles and helicopters, and pups killed in their dens. To date, these inhumane methods, sanctioned by Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, caused the deaths of 181 wolves in Montana, and 495 in Idaho. A Wisconsin free-for-all allowed 216 wolves to be killed in three days, exceeding their maximum allowed by 82%.

The commonality is that Endangered Species Act protections were stripped from wolves in 2020. Disturbed by the above statistics? At this level of killing, wolves could become functionally extinct in a year. Outraged, 50 conservation groups filed petitions, asking Department of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams for emergency listing of gray wolves under ESA protections. One hundred scientists, 21 U.S. Senators and 79 Representatives filed their own letters. But, so far, nothing has been done by either agency.

More public input is needed, asking decision makers to list gray wolves under emergency ESA protections.

These are facts: *Wolves occupy only 15% of their historic territory. They are not fully recovered. *Without an apex predator, an ecosystem is considered unhealthy. *USDA statistics reveal that preventable respiratory and digestive tract diseases cause 40% of cattle deaths, while wolves are responsible for only 0.2%. *Wolf packs develop strong family bonds, so killing only one wolf destabilizes the pack, resulting in more livestock depredation.

Q&A with Bend’s Favorite Redditor

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 03, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Since September, one of the most accessible outlets for information on the Bend City Council comes from an unlikely source: Pseudonymous Redditor Tailor Glad

By Jack Harvel

O

nce every two weeks Reddit User TailorGlad3272 spends over five hours reporting the Bend City Council on the subreddit r/Bend, a forum where users share news, ask questions and discuss all things Bend. The meeting notes have been so well received that Glad’s now gone cross-platform, starting a Twitter account under their pseudonym and a Substack, a paid newsletter service. Glad requested anonymity for reasons discussed in this article.

Source Weekly: How did you, in the golden age of television and entertainment, get into watching the city council and why?

Tailor Glad: Well, I guess it was a few years ago. I took an intro to political science class and one of my assignments was to go to my local city council meeting and write about it. I had a great time, I really enjoyed it. I began watching the Bend City Council meetings around eight months ago. When I started to get really invested, I tried to find a place to

talk about the meeting, but I wasn’t able to find any active discussion threads. I figured if I wanted a place to talk about it, I would have to make it myself. I tried to find some kind of resource to post on the Bend subreddit so that people could talk about the meetings, but nothing was coming out fast enough for facilitating that kind of same-day discussion. City council videos aren’t posted for hours after the meeting is over and reporting about the meeting comes out slowly over the course of days and doesn’t really go over the meeting as a whole; they’re focused on specific parts.

I decided to try making a meeting summary myself.

SW: Your write-ups are really detailed and informative. But there it also has commentary and I did want to ask how you toe the line between just straight facts reporting and opinion.

TG: It’s something that I actually think a lot about and it’s a hard thing to get right. I really try my best to portray Tailor Glad

This is the Reddit avatar created by Tailor Glad.

what councilors are trying to say in good faith and as accurately as possible. I also try to make it obvious when stating an opinion that what I am saying is coming from me and not the councilors. I think most of the time I am able to do that.

SW: How has how you’ve handled this changed over the course of the project? Are you doing things any differently since the first post?

TG: How I approached the project has definitely changed over time. At first I just typed as I watched live. I just sat down, put the City Council meeting on and just started describing what I was experiencing and what I thought. People liked that, and they responded really well to it, but it was a lot more challenging than I expected. It was very difficult, especially with some of the more complicated agenda items, to explain what an issue was about in real time. So one of the things I started doing very early on was make an outline from the agenda beforehand. It gives me a good structure for the post and lets me spend more time describing complicated topics. I also started doing a little bit of creative writing for the intro paragraph, which I find very satisfying. One of the things I am working on right now is trying to figure out how to make the post more easy to understand and accessible for people who don’t know what common terms used in the meetings mean.

SW: What kind of response have you seen, both positive and negative?

TG: The response has been overwhelmingly positive. I know some city councilors really appreciate it. They like how it makes the meeting more accessible. I’ve heard some staff members use it as a litmus test to make sure that they are communicating effectively. I’ve had a lot of people say they want to keep themselves updated and engaged about what the City Council is doing, but they don’t have six hours to watch it themselves.

Not all the feedback has been positive. Different people like my notes for different reasons. Some people like it when there’s more opinion, and some people prefer it when it’s just cold reporting of what’s happening. Other people like my notes best when I type them cross-faded out of my mind. I can’t really make everyone happy at the

same time. It’s difficult, because I’m not exactly sure where in that spectrum I want to be and where I am on that spectrum changes each post.

SW: These meetings can be pretty long and in the weeds. What’s your biggest frustration, if any, covering these things?

TG: Public comment can be pretty frustrating. There’s always a lot of different people that call in to talk to the city council about things that they care about deeply. They’re often not the most respectful people. Sometimes it’s really hard to listen to someone saying something that’s just really wrong and really upsetting. There’s a caller that I mute every single time they speak because it just really gets to me. They call in all the time.

SW: It seems like you value your anonymity and I wanted to ask why that was.

TG: I’m a pretty neurotic person, and it is difficult for me to feel comfortable expressing myself. It’s easier when I’m anonymous. I don’t really know why that is. I’ve been on Reddit for nine years under various different pseudonyms and it’s one of the only places that I can communicate without feeling debilitatingly self-conscious.

Being a public figure is not something that I want to be. Councilor [Rita] Schenkelberg expresses their opinion and is cyber bullied for it regularly. I don’t want that kind of attention.

Expressing your opinion publicly with your name attached is a kind of bravery I do not possess.

SW: You’re now on Substack, where people can pay to support your work, and Twitter. Do you have any other plans to expand either in platform or content?

TG: I don’t plan on expanding to any other platforms at this time. For now, I’m only doing the twice-a-month city council meeting notes, but if the Substack is really successful I would consider expanding it to include editorials, coverage of County meetings or other similar content. If I was getting paid more for it, I could definitely put more time in. But right now it’s only a passion project, I’m getting paid about $3 an hour for my work. This is not something that I can afford to devote additional time to at this point.

Cranston Approaches Bail Hearing

A timeline of events emerge in court documents for Ian Cranston’s bail hearing as he faces murder charges in the shooting of Barry Washington, Jr.

bar to smoke cigarettes. Washington approached Butler again, talked to her and called her “good looking,” the documents state.

Cranston responded by saying something to the effect of, “she’s taken, move along, mind your business,” according to court documents. An argument escalated and Washington punched Cranston twice, stumbling him.

“It is unclear from the video if Defendant fell down, but in any event, Defendant immediately recovered to his feet and within five seconds Defendant was on his feet and produced a handgun from his waist, holding it at his side in his right hand as he walked towards Washington,” Deputy District Attorney J. Michael Swart wrote.

Smith and Butler got in between Cranston and Washington as both parties continued to argue. Prosecutors say Butler may have obstructed Washington’s view of the gun, and that Sali’s claim that Washington was “completely undeterred by the sight of Cranston’s handgun” is speculative.

Washington started walking down Oregon Avenue away from Smith and Butler, before Butler walked towards him while recording a video on her cell phone. Smith followed and called Washington a name, and they began struggling. It was then that Cranston fired his handgun, the documents state.

“Defense in their motion states that Washington turned at and squared towards Cranston. The State disagrees with this statement and the video will demonstrate this is incorrect. As is the

ourt documents filed Jan. 26 argue that Ian Cranston doesn’t meet the standards for a pretrial release as he awaits a November trial for the shooting of Barry Washington, Jr. Kevin Sali, Cranston’s attorney, filed a motion for release on bail on Dec. 30 and painted a different picture than that presented by prosecutors of the events leading up to the shooting of Washington on Sept.

19.

Sali’s document claims Cranston acted in self-defense, that Washington punched Cranston unprovoked, was undeterred upon seeing Cranston’s handgun, that he turned toward Cranston before the shooting and that Cranston immediately provided aid to Washington after the shooting. Prosecutors contest nearly all these assertions and maintain that evidence supports the charge of murder.

A timeline of events in the prosecutor’s documents have Washington arriving at The Capitol, a bar in downtown Bend, shortly after 11 pm with a friend. A few minutes later Cranston entered the bar with his fiancée Allison Butler and a friend named Tyler Smith, both of whom knew Cranston was carrying a concealed pistol, documents say. Washington approached Butler around midnight, complimenting her and having a brief encounter that ended with a hug.

At 12:05 am Washington left The Capitol and spoke with a group of people on the street. Two minutes later Cranston, Butler and Smith left the

defense’s representation that Cranston immediately rendered aid to Washington,” Swart wrote. “Rather, the video time stamp shows that for seventeen seconds, Cranston looked around with his firearm still at his side and it was not until 12:09:39 am, that he walked to and leaned over a dying Barry Washington, eventually rendering aid.

A total of 26 seconds passed between Washington punching Cranston, and Cranston shooting Washington. Prosecutors say that Cranston had no right to use deadly force, and point to Smith’s interview with police where he said he

didn’t fear for his life and was surprised Cranston shot Washington.

“Cranston’s belief about the need for deadly force is fallacious since his actions were unreasonable for the following reasons: First, Cranston faced no imminent danger of suffering serious physical injury or death. Second, Cranston’s response to use deadly force in response to at best a continuing misdemeanor assault was astonishingly disproportionate,” Swart wrote.

Cranston’s bail hearing is scheduled for Feb. 8, and the District Attorney’s Office requested it be closed to the public.

Anti-Masking Protest Targets Redmond High Schoolers Protestors are urging students to demand mask use be made optional, and to go on strike this Friday if the district doesn’t concede

By Jack Harvel

P

eople’s Rights, an anti-mandate and anti-government conservative activist group, started a 10-day protest at the Nolan Town Center on Jan. 24 aimed at Redmond High School students.

The protest is led by Deschutes County Commission candidate Scott Stuart, who gained notoriety locally after dressing as a Confederate soldier at Redmond’s Fourth of July parade in 2021. Protestors have dispersed gift cards and flyers arguing against masking and urging students

to speak out against masking, vaccination and mandates.

One flyer asked students to complain to the principal, attend an event on Tuesday and stage a walkout on Wednesday and Thursday, and if masking is still required, to go on strike and not return to school “until Personal Choice to mask or not is applied.”

The Redmond School Board asked the state to return local control to school districts in October and rejected Superintendent Dr. Charan

Cline’s proposed termination of a fourth-grade teacher who refused to wear a mask. Four members of the Redmond School Board submitted a letter to the Oregon Health Authority in opposition to creating a permanent masking law, which OHA says it is doing just to avoid the technicality of renewing the order every 180 days.

Students who spoke to KTVZ at the protest had mixed reviews.

Some said they agreed with it, others didn’t and some admitted they were only there for the free gift cards.

“It’s our lunch money. I just bought two pounds worth of food at M&W over there, so I mean—it works, it’s worth it, but, it’s just, it’s bogus. They don’t need to do this,” sophomore Joshua Veracruz told KTVZ. The protest ends on Feb. 4, when protestors hope a student strike will begin if their demands aren’t met. The district’s spokesperson told KTVZ they aren’t experiencing issues with mask use compliance and that if one occurred the administration is capable of handling it.

With indoor dining back, restaurants grapple with delivery apps and their costly policies

By Jack Harvel

Sierra Phillips has been battling with delivery apps since opening Bo's Falafel Bar.

A

t the start of the pandemic, restaurants had to find new ways to serve customers without traditional indoor dining.

Food service pivoted with outdoor seating, more carryout options and delivery. Now, after two tumultuous years, some restaurants and food carts are less than enthused to be a part of third-party delivery apps’ platforms.

In October 2019, just months before the pandemic pushed restaurants to rely on delivery, Grubhub launched a new pilot

program to add unpartnered restaurants without their knowledge or consent. Previously the service only hosted restaurants that agreed to work with them. Grubhub told Eater that the program was adopted to compete with apps like DoorDash, Postmates and Uber Eats, which already used unpartnered restaurants on their platforms.

“We’ve used them, at times, and we had such terrible experiences using them that we gave up and just decided we didn’t want to be enrolled anymore,” said Sierra Phillips,

owner of Bo’s Falafel Bar. “But it didn’t matter; we would still be displayed. And so people will place orders, and then they’ll show up here, we get all the ire of the customers.”

Phillips said it took a letter peppered with legal threats informed by her time working as a lawyer to get her restaurant off Grubhub, but at the time this article went to print it was still listed on Uber Eats and Postmates.

“I definitely opted out on the business portal, I unchecked us and did all that. We

showed up for months after that, and I reached out and it took several escalating contacts with them of, ‘basically I’m going to sue you if you don’t stop doing this,’” Philips said. “It’s kind of insane that they do that on multiple platforms. There’s no one checking on them. There’s no one you can call.”

When restaurants do call, they say navigating the customer service process is time-consuming and rarely gets results.

“I try to call the customer service. I talk

expenses, if they choose their orders wisely.

“DoorDash is very frustrating when it comes to pay. They try to hide high paying orders with low paying orders, but if I were to take every order that appeared below $8 my average would drop from $25 to around $15 per hour, so you actually lose money by accepting orders blindly,” the anonymous delivery driver said. “However, DoorDash is the most popular platform, so it has the highest order volume, Grubhub the second highest and Uber Eats the lowest— although Uber Eats and Grubhub combined come nowhere close to the order volume DoorDash has.”

Policies of delivery apps are being challenged in court across the country. A New York City firm filed a class-action lawsuit claiming delivery apps used monopoly power to overcharge both customers and restaurants. Gibbs Law Firm recently rejected a proposed settlement from Grubhub in a case representing business owners placed Raysonho via Wikimedia

with the drivers all the time, and I never got a call back,” said Ian Vidinha, owner of Aina Kauai Style Grill. “The drivers all say ‘yeah, the customer service sucks. You’ll just go down the rabbit hole, basically.’ So I haven’t reached out to anybody else.”

Vidinha (who, for the sake of transparency, is the Source editor’s brother-in-law) says he can expect 10 to 20 drivers on weekends. Drivers who take the orders often have outdated information about the menu.

“I don’t like the fact that they just went online, to my social media sites and my web page, and just made a menu on their web page without even me knowing—from stuff that was my specials that I did one time a year and a half ago,” Vidinha said. “Everything else that I have on there that fluctuates, you know, my menu changes pretty much every day. And they make a menu and then people order it online, and stuff I didn’t serve.”

This is a frustration that’s shared with drivers, who have to be selective of their orders to maximize earnings.

“For the most part the apps are accurate.

However, I have had some pretty outstanding instances of trying to pick up food that isn’t served,” said a Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats driver who asked to be anonymous to avoid being kicked off the platforms. “I was on the phone with DoorDash support for over 30 minutes, after which they canceled my order and paid me $4 for my time.”

Then there’s the issue of quality control, which restaurant owners must sacrifice when handing their food to a delivery person.

“It’s just out of your control. You prepare the food, you put in care, you put in, a lot of thoughtfulness into preparing a meal for someone, and then it’s up to the driver to make sure it gets there warm and untouched,” Phillips said.

All of these issues lead to frustration between the two workforces. Drivers are incentivized to get fast service, juggle orders, and as tipped workers themselves, are less likely to tip the people who serve them the food drivers then take to customers.

they’re being charged,” said Greg Astley, director of government affairs for the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association. “If a hamburger is $12 on my menu, but you’re paying $34 for that, as a customer, I think you deserve to know as a customer, where that additional $22 is going and what it’s paying for. It’s not going to the restaurant to pay for health benefits for workers, or a tip for the employees, it’s going for marketing and delivery fees for whatever third party delivery app that you’ve ordered from.”

Typical commissions hovered around 30% before the law went into effect, and since they were reduced the apps seem to be finding new ways to charge for their service.

“Anecdotally, unfortunately, what we’ve been hearing is that some of the third-party delivery apps have kept their commissions at 15%. But then they’ve added, say, a 15%, or 20%, marketing fee, or some other such fee that gets around the cap on the delivery and commission,” Astley said.

Drivers can make about $25 an hour during a dinner rush, without including

on the platform without their consent.

Drivers across the country are joining a class-action lawsuit alleging they were mischaracterized as independent contractors rather than employees. DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber sued New York City after it capped delivery commissions at 15%, and DoorDash filed a separate suit opposing a law that would require delivery apps to share customer data with restaurants.

The result of these cases could impact how delivery apps operate.

The change in attitude toward these services comes after it was touted to be the restaurant industry’s best hope of surviving a pandemic. But now, even with indoor dining back, delivery has become more popular with consumers.

“Especially when restaurants were closed three times over the last 22 months by government decree, they didn’t really have any choice but takeout and delivery,” Astley said. “It’s this balance between making sure that restaurants have those tools, but making sure that they’re not getting gouged for using those tools, either.”

annoying and their least-favorite customers because a lot of them are rude, and I’ve seen it firsthand. I always try to remain patient, but if an order takes too long I just drop it, I don’t make a big deal of it,” the anonymous delivery driver said. “A lot of times we get overlooked as arrogant, but we just have a job to do like everyone else. You have to be quick, punctual and efficient. Every minute, every mile counts.”

In December 2020 Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed a law that capped delivery apps’ commissions at 15%. The apps already operate on a relatively tight margin, and a Deutsche Bank analysis showed that after paying drivers, Grubhub made about 90 cents on a $36 order. Delivery apps try to recoup some of these losses by adding different types of fees, and displaying higher costs than the restaurant charges.

“The delivery fees are something that we want to make sure that in particular, restaurants are made aware of exactly what

A Grateful Night

By Isaac Biehl

Chris Stone/Flickr

The Grateful Dead at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco, 1980.

T

he Grateful Dead is one of the most polarizing bands in the history of American music. With its insanely deep vault of albums and songs, along with diehard fans—perfectly dubbed Deadheads—still riding for their favorite band today, Grateful Dead has a legacy that will continue to live on in music lore. So why not celebrate it?

That seems to be the plan this Saturday as the High Desert Music Hall in Redmond is set to host A Grateful Night, an event bringing together a few of Central Oregon’s finest musicians to offer up their own Grateful Dead tributes. The night is also a benefit for the Redmond Food Bank (bring five cans of food for entry, or 20 for entry and a poster) that will feature a silent auction. Attendees can also bring pieces of warm clothing that will be donated to Redmond’s houseless community.

Bands playing include The Mostest, G Bots & The Journeymen, Pete Kartsounes, Call Down Thunder and a handful of other guests.

“I’m one of the lucky ones that is old enough (yet still young) that got to see Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead 40 times,” says Kartsounes. “I traveled around the country and saw them in Las Vegas, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Florida and Kentucky from 92 to 95. One thing that always struck me as fascinating is the fact that they all seem to be playing their own parts to create the Grateful Dead music.”

Kartsounes also applauds the members of Grateful Dead for each playing in their own musical style, and notes how the band wasn’t afraid to blend different

sounds and take on multiple genres. And of course, you can’t forget to mention the songwriting.

“When it came to their own writing, it’s something that no other band has come close to capturing in my book. The lyrics/ songwriting from Philip Barlow and Bob Weir and Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia was unlike any other. Genius if you ask me.

No one writes like that but them,” he added.

To help get pumped for the show, the latest release from the archives of the Grateful Dead on streaming services is live from the Fox Theater in St. Louis, a show the band played back in 1971. It’s a showcase of 28 songs for Deadheads looking to get in the mood for their pre-game Saturday night. But really, one can dive into almost any piece of work from the Grateful Dead to know you’re hearing something great. The community they’ve built has stood the test of time.

“The last thing that was great about seeing them was the people who followed them. It was a family and community,” reflected Kartsounes. “It felt safe and it was peaceful and loving and everyone always had a smile on their face, and treated everyone respectfully. You just don’t get that these days like it used to be. Yes, there are still small pockets of that, but nothing like a Grateful Dead community.”

2021 Annual Report: A Decade in Service

Proud partner of

For ten years, Discover Your Forest has been dedicated to promoting the discovery of the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland by enriching the experience of visitors, building community support and creating the next generation of environmental stewards.

WWW.DISCOVERYOURFOREST.ORG

Letter to Supporters

2021 Annual Report: A Decade in Service

Dear Valued Supporters, We are excited to share that Discover Your Forest is celebrating ten years of service in Central Oregon. Over the last decade, we’ve accomplished some truly remarkable things. We've reached over 2.5 million visitors with face to face interaction and interpretation in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, on the slopes at Mt. Bachelor, in and around Visitor Centers, at Ranger Stations and Public Land sites throughout Central Oregon.

We have made tangible contributions to the health of our forests by bolstering the Forest Service’s second largest volunteer force in the nation. These volunteers have collectively donated nearly 700,000 hours of service. We have sold books, crafts from local artists, forest passes, maps, lanterns for the Lava River Cave and a myriad of other items, totalling more than $2.5 million in funding to support our work. Through grant writing, events and our incredible donors, we have raised $2.7 million that all goes directly back to the forests we strive to protect. We are most proud however, to have brought more than 100,000 youth onto their Public Lands through our free school field trips and programs! When we connect with Central Oregon’s youth, we provide them with an experience of awe in the outdoors while offering them award-winning conservation education - in turn, creating the next generation of environmental stewards.

As you may know, our Public Lands are facing some serious challenges. The pandemic has reminded us of the importance and value of accessible and well maintained outdoor recreation opportunities. More than ever, we’ve looked to the outdoors to provide comfort, respite, excitement and rejuvenation. We’ve spent time outside to see our loved ones, to move our bodies, and to relish in the gift of solace in nature. Globally (and certainly locally), visitation numbers have climbed dramatically, and outdoor recreation has vigorously expanded. Concurrently, the funds allocated to manage and protect these places have continued to decline, and we continue to see the daunting effects of climate change. These realities validate all of the work that we have done thus far, and help to lay a road map for the work that is still to come. As we confront these challenges, we will continue to count on the support of outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists, and citizens who care about the future of our natural resources.

In the next decade, Discover Your Forest will once again strive towards lofty goals. We will continue to offer school field trips, conservation education, interpretive programs, nature-driven events, and volunteer engagement throughout our region. As we’ve done for the last decade, we will be adaptable and creative in developing new programs, fundraising for special projects, continuing to teach youth the importance of being a good steward, and supporting the work of the Forest Service in managing and protecting the wildlands of Oregon. We are committed to expanding our JEDAI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusion) work to make the outdoors more welcoming and accessible to those who have been historically marginalized and excluded from the outdoor narrative. We aim to reach these goals by developing new key partnerships, reaching under-served communities, and fundraising to provide adaptive equipment and support to insure that all people - regardless of their ability or identity - are able to comfortably enjoy time on their Public Lands. We are excited about where we’re heading, and we hope that you will join us along our journey.

In Gratitude,

Gordon Price Executive Director

Executive Director of Discover Your Northwest

Forest Supervisor for the Deschutes National Forest

Discover Your Forest Volunteer

“ Ten years into what we thought would remain a small-scale organization, Discover Your Forest has an annual budget of over $1.5 million, complete with award-winning education and volunteer programs, covering all of Central Oregon. My hat is off to the hard-working staff at Discover Your Forest who create and manage all these programs, and constantly look for new ways to grow. This has become a model that other forests and parks all over the country have emulated to great success. Helping to create Discover Your Forest is one of the proudest moments of my 20 year career at Discover Your Northwest.”

“ The Deschutes National Forest celebrates and relies on local volunteer groups that help to make it great. Every year, Discover Your Forest recruits and manages thousands of volunteers to restore native plants, healthy fisheries, and wildlife habitat on National Forest lands as well as maintain a wide range of recreational trails and facilities. In addition, their volunteers train annually to provide high quality interpretive talks for visitors and educational programs for students. The staff serving Central Oregon's National Forests could not provide all these services without the critical help of our volunteers.”

“ Volunteering with Discover Your Forest at the Newberry National Volcanic Monument was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I was given the opportunity to explore, learn, share and encourage people from all over the world as a Campground Host to enjoy this magical caldera.

A highlight of my summer was doing interpretive engagements with kids and helping them become Junior Rangers. The support, training and collaboration with the US Forest Service was fantastic.”

CULTURE

AWAKENING YOUR INNER HERO A column to help locals live a kinder and more courageous life

By Burt Gershater

Our early years do not always indicate what will come later in life.

It’s way more interesting than that.

Hang on tight. magine your life is actually a fairy tale and you, yes you, play a key role in this illuminating story. What follows is an age-old yarn about love, its all-too-common challenges and the magical route back home to peace…

I

Once upon a time, in the Village of Peace in the Oregoneous Region of Heavenly Love, there lived two of the most wonderful people in the entire Universe: Prince Alfonso and Princess Esmeralda.

You are one of these ever-evolving characters—pick one and subsequently you can change characters whenever you wish.

People asked, “How did Esmeralda and Alfonso become such exceptional human beings?”

Doesn’t every single one of us, at the deepest level, have a desire to be a kind, generous, dedicated, joyful and humble person? Soak in these words and allow their transcendent vibrations to sing out to your beautiful soul.

You are kind, humble, generous, joyful, dedicated, and confident.

At our essence, that is who we are.

Is it a straight shot from then to now?

Rarely.

Is there a guarantee?

There is no guarantee.

Esmeralda and Alfonso did not always have these exceptional human qualities, at least not at the observable level. These two young souls grew up on opposite sides of the rugged Cascadilious Mountain Range in Central Oregon—Esmeralda to the east facing the morning sunrise and Alfonso to the west, facing the sun dipping below the endless horizon. Each was coming to realize that this early journey was only Part One of a lifetime of perpetual ascension.

Our two characters were both on adventures to discover who they always had been and would eventually become. There were rumblings that had been difficult to ignore but too faint to comprehend.

Our young players didn’t know they would ever meet each other in this lifetime, yet they knew something about something, they just didn’t know what or when or how...but they knew.

We all know.

In their early teenage years, things weren’t going quite right for either Esmeralda or Alfonso. On either side of the mountain range, up was down and down was up. Tomorrow was turning

out to be less than each one thought it should be. Could be. Would be. Were their dark yesterdays to become the precursors of their unraveling futures?

No. No. No. They knew their mysterious futures were heading toward the mountains, toward one another, toward the light.

And on the exact same day in mid-June these two spirits took off up their own side of the mountain, backpacks loaded, sensing their new lives would soon unfold.

These two transformations, Alfonso’s and Esmeralda’s, would help revolutionize, yes revolutionize, this very moment and from this moment until forever.

These young youngsters were leaders. True leaders.

Are you?

Yes, you are!

Joyful wisdom was mysteriously and assuredly finding its way home. Their hikes were rocky and steep. The days were long and the sun shined in Alfonso’s eyes as he traveled east and in Esmeralda’s eyes as she headed toward the west. Each one smiled softly, knowing magic was in their near futures.

Each one was moving closer to home than ever before. Each one was saying goodbye at the very same time they were saying hello.

On their third day out, their eyes lit up and they almost couldn’t see. They were dazzled by the light.

“I think I see you,” shouted Alfonso.

“I think I see you, too,” answered Esmeralda.

“I think we see each other, finally, at last!” they both shouted to the heavens, to the stars, to each other. Over and over and over!

We see each other, finally!

I am now you and you are now me.

We are ONE. How could that be?

Each one saw an inkling of what always had been.

Alfonso and Esmeralda were ONE— “I am not only me. I am an angel, too.”

“And you are not only you. You are also an angel.”

Everyone, when we come to accept what we’ve always known deep, deep down inside…

We know what always was and will always be.

You, me and all of us, forever.

Thank you, Alfonzo.

Thank you, Esmeralda.

Thank you, everybody…thank you!

The Real Moqueca

By Nicole Vulcan

A Brazilian fish stew for the ages

It's a sunny sunset for Amy and Courtney Wright.

So Long, Sunny Sunny Yoga Kitchen to close up shop

S It’s like Italian cioppinio, without the olives and capers, and it’s delicious.

agree on, at least, is the garlic. That is where we started when it was finally time to cook dinner.

Edna had everything chopped and prepped, but for my edification she insisted that I cook it. She turned the heat to medium under a stew pot, and told me to do the Brazilian thing with the garlic. It made me nervous. The last thing I wanted to do was mess up the garlic, either by burning or undercooking it.

Brazilian garlic-frying reflects a level of brinkmanship that you need to get anything done in that land. They take it closer to the edge of burnt than most. Often the garlic is mixed with salt. Sometimes it’s fried in a thin, dented aluminum pan without any oil. As long as the inevitable blackening is thwarted by moisture before it becomes too bitter, the glorious flavor gets captured by the food. In the case of Moqueca Capixaba, the browned garlic gets deglazed by chopped tomatoes and onions, which release their moisture and stops the burning.

I then added a jar of sofrito, a Caribbean seasoning sauce popular throughout the Iberian diaspora. Edna used Goya brand sofrito, with a tomato base and green pepper, onions, culantro and garlic.

Culantro is a wide-leafed plant that tastes like extra-strong cilantro. Native to the Caribbean and Latin America, culantro is

now cultivated worldwide. In Southeast Asia it has names along the lines of “sawtooth coriander,” and is considered by many to be indispensable to a good bowl of pho.

If you can’t get your hands on sofrito or culantro, don’t sweat it. Sofrito is essentially a condensed version of the other vegetables in the moqueca, so just use more of everything else— that is, extra tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and cilantro—and the right flavors will be there.

The combination of cilantro and bell peppers, along with that almost-burnt garlic, is what creates the distinct flavor of moqueca. It’s like an off-key jazz chord that you play until it sounds right, and then build a song around. The harmonious discord of the moqueca flavor works particularly well with fish, including the swordfish and shrimp that Edna had brought.

I can see why Capixabas consider their moqueca to be the original. Without the distractions of dendê and coconut milk, the flavors of the other ingredients shine through more clearly. Just veggies, fish and olive oil. And fried garlic, of course.

unny Yoga Kitchen, a combination yoga and fresh-food space in Northwest Crossing, is closing its doors.

“We can’t thank you all enough for 8 wonderful years of Yoga and lunch goodness,” owners Amy and Courtney Wright stated in a post on Sunny Yoga Kitchen’s Instagram page in late January.

Sunny’s lease was up for its location along NW Crossing Drive, they said, so they decided to close the space. Fans of the Wrights’ fare already have another space to enjoy it, however; the pair also owns Sunny’s Carrello, an Italian food cart that moved outside The Grove in Northwest Crossing when that space opened last year.

“You can find us and our crew in the future at our new venture Sunny’s Italian Joint in The Grove Market Hall starting in March,” the Wrights said on Instagram.

Sunny Yoga Kitchen’s last day will be Feb. 18.

More Italian for the West Side Nome opening soon off Century Bend is getting another Italian dining concept, brought to you by Sixtop, the people who created Hablo Tacos, Bos Taurus and Miyagi Ramen in Bend. Nome Italiano is described as a “high-end/fine dining Italian restaurant,” according to a local jobs listing. It occupies the space off Century Drive previously occupied by Baltazar’s Seafood Restaurant, which closed its doors in early 2021. With hiring currently underway, Nome is expected to open this month.

T

he smell of fried garlic hit me as soon I opened the door. It is quite possibly the most intoxicating aroma on earth.

Alas, I feared it meant Edna had not waited, and that made me sad. I was there to learn how she makes moqueca, a tomato-based seafood stew that’s ubiquitous along the Brazilian coast. The dish varies by region, and Edna’s hometown of Vitoria is widely considered the birthplace of moqueca. That version of the dish, called moqueca Capixaba, is why I was there. At my mom’s house in Boston, that is. I already missed my golden opportunity to go to Vitoria in real life.

When I reached the kitchen I realized, to my intense alegria, that Edna had been waiting for me all along. The amazing garlic aroma that first hit me was from when she had made the rice – which, like most Brazilian recipes, began with fried garlic.

Edna is a Capixaba (cah-pee-shahbah), which is to say, someone (or something) from the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo, of which Vitoria is the capital. I’ve been on several buses that stopped in Vitoria, heading north from Rio to Salvador da Bahia. I have memories and dejas vous of opening my eyes as the bus slowed down to a stop. I remember misty, forested hills on the left, above the city, and gentle coastline to the right. I never did get off the bus, but always wanted to.

The most world-famous moqueca comes from Bahia, one state to the north of Espirito Santo. Salvador, the capital, is where I was always headed when passing through sleepy Vitoria. Bahia has more people of African descent than any place outside of Africa, and Moqueca Baiana contains coconut milk and dendê, a type of palm oil made from imported West African trees. Dendê is very rich, with a heavy aroma and a strong flavor that isn’t for everyone.

Moqueca Capixaba, on the other hand, takes its cues from a different ancestral homeland. As European as Moqueca Baiana is African, Edna’s moqueca contains olive oil instead of dendé and coconut milk. This version is lighter, and just a few olives and capers away from being an Italian cioppino, and worlds away from the moqueca of the north.

But one thing that all Brazilians can

THE 355: This looks like a smarter take on “The Expendables,” but with some of the finest actresses currently working. Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger and Penelope Cruz decimating rooms full of bad guys sounds about perfect. Regal Old Mill AMERICAN UNDERDOG: I’m torn about this one be-

cause I really don’t want to see a Christian football movie about Kurt Warner, but I really like star Zachary Levi, so maybe it’s worth a shot. Regal Old Mill

DRIVE MY CAR: I’m calling it right now: this will win the 2022 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. I’ll show my work: Murakami (author of the short story this is based on) is one of the finest novelists of the last 100 years and director Ryusuke Hamaguchi is one of the very best modern Japanese filmmakers and the film is about an adaptation of Chekhov’s masterpiece “Uncle Vanya.” 1+1+1= flawless. Tin Pan Theater JACKASS FOREVER: I know, it’s all very dumb

and juvenile, but I’m there for absolutely every second of it. Johnny Knoxville and his friends are going to destroy themselves physically and mentally for us on camera so we can go into the theater and feel some catharsis for 90 minutes.

Real life disappears completely while watching these guys. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

THE KING’S DAUGHTER: This is a weird one: A

fantasy drama starring Pierce Brosnan as King Louis XIV that follows the historical king as he seeks immortality by stealing the life essence of a mermaid. What’s even weirder is this has been sitting on the shelf for over seven years and is just getting released now. Regal Old Mill

THE KING’S MAN: The long-delayed prequel to the “Kingsman” franchise brings in the astoundingly good Ralph Fiennes to act as the classiness missing from the absent Colin Firth. It looks like a blast, but does anyone care enough about the franchise to need a prequel at this point? Regal Old Mill LICORICE PIZZA: The new film from one of the

greatest living directors, P.T. Anderson, “Licorice Pizza” is another one of his L.A. movies set in the ‘70s after “Boogie Nights” and “Inherent Vice.” This is right up there with “Punch Drunk Love” in the realm of oddball romantic comedies. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS: Don’t get me wrong, I’m really excited for this movie, but what I really want to know is whether it can reclaim red pill/ blue pill from the right wing while also making leather trench coats and ‘90s techno music cool again. Regal Old Mill MOONFALL: The moon is crashing toward Earth

and the only people who can stop them are astronauts Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson and Samwell Tarly. This is going to be big, dumb and beautiful… just like me. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

NIGHTMARE ALLEY: With a cast featuring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe and a dozen other fantastic actors all being directed by the visionary Guillermo del Toro,

“Nightmare Alley” is the kind of film we rarely see anymore. Film noir framing, femme fatales and old-school storytelling make this one for the grown-ups. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

PARALLEL MOTHERS: A new film from Pedro Almo-

dovar is a cause to rejoice and with an all-time great performance from Penelope Cruz, “Parallel Mothers” is easily his best since “Volver.” If you’re a fan of the great director and actress, this is their eighth and possibly finest collaboration. See full review on page 29. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House

REDEEMING LOVE: From the director of “Distur-

bia” comes a romance set during the turbulent and intense days of the California Gold Rush in 1850. With a Rotten Tomatoes critical score of 11% and an audience score of 95% the only way to know if this is good is to actually see it for ourselves. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

SCREAM: Another horror reboot comes our way

from the franchise that probably deserves it the most. The “Scream” series has always done a great job balancing meta-humor and horror and this new entry promises more of the same.

Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

SING 2: Is…is that a porcupine singing U2? Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME: I know, I know: another Marvel movie, but I’m genuinely excited for this one to dive into the multiverse while also bridging together the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield franchises into the MCU. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is such a joy to watch as Peter Parker that I’m along for the ride no matter where this series chooses to go. Regal Old Mill THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH: Easily the best Shakespeare adaptation in a decade or so, with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand both giving astounding performances in what feels like a lost Bergman film. The black and white cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. Tin Pan Theater THE VELVET QUEEN: A documentary chronicling the nature photographer Vincent Munier as he searches the Tibetan highlands for the elusive snow leopard. This is the most meditative film I’ve seen in the theater in quite some time and will definitely make you feel like you’ve made a quick journey to Tibet. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House

WEST SIDE STORY: Steven Spielberg doing a big, epic Broadway musical sounds like heaven to this theater kid and the film itself looks like a gorgeous and faithful reproduction. Also, Rita Moreno is a national treasure and we must protect her at all costs. Regal Old Mill

Maternal Instincts SCREEN Conjoining the "Parallel Mothers"

By Jared Rasic Photo courtesy of Sony

Pedro Almodóvar conveys so much with just a single frame in “Parallel Mothers.”

there’s a central question of ethics that he attempts to answer through revelation of character and story. Usually, his characters make a terrible choice that negatively impacts themselves and others at the end of the first act, their lives are blown up and destroyed in the second and then some sense of redemption is sought in the third. It’s a solid structure to build a film career on, but Almodóvar strays from it just enough to never become predictable.

“Parallel Mothers,” his eighth collaboration with Penélope Cruz, focuses on two expectant mothers sharing a hospital room right before giving birth, one in her late 40s and the other still a minor. They give birth at the same time and, following a plot reveal I won’t give away here, must

become incredibly close even as secrets are kept and lives are shattered. There’s also a side plot where Cruz’s photographer character is attempting to have a world-renowned forensic archaeologist excavate a mass grave that she believes her great-grandfather was buried in during the Spanish Civil War. That right there shows just a taste of the brilliance of Almodóvar: He makes a movie about mothers giving birth to the future while simultaneously telling a story about the darkness and destruction of Francoist Spain. Sometimes within the space of a single scene he meditates on birth, death and the legacy we leave behind, while also being wryly hysterical and profoundly moving. There are more ideas in just five

P

edro Almodóvar changed movies forever, and he did so by simply following his exact vision and never deviating from it…even a little bit. When he moved to Madrid in 1967 to go to the National School of Cinema, he could have never guessed that infamous Spanish dictator Francisco Franco would have it shut down. Such was Almodóvar’s brash fearlessness that, as a form of protest, he would make films specifically to challenge Francoist Spain’s conservative nationalism and repressive totalitarianism.

After Franco’s death, Almodóvar became one of the pre-eminent visionaries of La Movida Madrileña, the countercultural movement that rose up during Spain’s transition into a democracy. Almodóvar’s early films are so drenched in joyous hedonism and campy fearlessness that it’s easy to miss the ever-present danger lurking in the background. Even the silliest Almodóvar films like 1980’s “Pepi, Luci, Bom” and 1982’s “Labyrinth of Passion” have sexual violence, senseless death and the onset of the AIDS crisis as backdrops to the humor and shenanigans.

Then, 1987’s “Law of Desire” saw him start taking even bigger swings by crafting characters who seemed more human and less as delivery systems for his pages and pages of dialogue and intensely complicated plotting. However, it was 1988’s “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” that became his first critical and commercial success and placed him on the radar of film lovers across the world.

What’s so fascinating to me about Almodóvar is that most of his films are deeply moral melodramas in which

minutes of this movie than most films carry in their entire running times.

“Parallel Mothers” stands beside “Volver” and “Bad Education” as Almodóvar’s best. Even if you’re not a fan of the master (or are completely unfamiliar with his work in general), this might be the movie that changes your mind or makes you a lifetime fan. It’s a perfect place to jump into his filmography and all of his trademark colors and textures are on full display. “Parallel Mothers” is another gorgeous love letter to cinema, as only Almodóvar can design.

Five Ore-lympians Make It to Beijing

GO HERE

Three downhill racers, one high flying snowboarder and one Paralympic racer set their sights for winter in Beijing.

T

he Winter Olympics in Beijing, China start this week. Here’s a quick rundown of the local and Oregon athletes competing.

Tommy Ford, Giant Slalom skier Coming back from a horrific injury is never easy. Tommy Ford, the Bend native who grew up skiing for the Mount Bachelor Sports Education Foundation, plans to come back on the biggest stage this winter as the 32-year-old Giant Slalom skier vies for a top position at the 2022 Winter Olympics. After the Olympics of 2018, where Ford placed 20th, he went on a spree of impressive victories which included a gold medal at the 2019 Beaver Creek World Cup. This past January Ford had a violent crash, leaving him unconscious with a broken right tibial plateau and torn ligaments in his right knee. He has worked to recover from the crash, being awarded for his efforts with a spot on the Olympic team where he will appear in his first race this season. Ford is one of two Bendites with medals in their sights.

Ravi Drugan, Paralympic monoskier Meanwhile, Ravi Drugan will compete in the largest-ever Paralympic winter games. Drugan is one of 700 athletes competing for a medal in the competition designed for athletes with disabilities. Growing up in Eugene, Drugan survived being hit by a train at the age of 14. The accident would cause him to lose both of his legs from above the knees. At Hoodoo he would learn how to use a mono-ski through the Oregon Adaptive Sports program.

Drugan has medaled at the X-Games in 2015 where he won bronze in the Monoski-X event. He’ll depart from the featured race course of berms and jumps this March as he plans to compete in both the Slalom and Super-G events in the games that take place after the Olympics.

Jacqueline Wiles, Downhill and Super-G skier Jacqueline Wiles has been charging since a young age. After her parents put her in a ski race program rather than ski lessons because the racing program cost less, it’s hard to imagine that Wiles would learn to be anything but fast. The 29-year-old Portlander has experience with the U.S. Ski team, having made the 2014 Olympic games, and qualifying for the 2018 games before experiencing an injury. Wiles will compete in both the Downhill and Super-G races for her third Olympic games. She,

along with Ford, represents a group of experienced veterans. Oregon has a few Olympic rookies looking to make their mark.

Luke Winters, Slalom skier The young Luke Winters, from Gresham, will compete in his first games this month. Winters grew up riding for the Mount Hood Racing Team and found success on the junior slalom circuit, winning nationals at a young age.

He was awarded the Pacific Northwest Ski Association's Schwabe Award that is given to the outstanding alpine competitor of the year through the PNSA. His success at a young age has transferred into his early 20s, stringing together successful races on the World Cup circuit that granted Winters with his first Olympic appearance. Winters has competed in The U.S. Revolution Tour in not only Slopestyle, but Super-pipe and Big Air, too. Although he is disciplined in all three of these high adrenaline competitions, he will hone in on Slopestyle for the Olympics.

Sean FitzSimmons, Slopestyle snowboarder While the rest of the Oregon competitors fly through the gates, this last athlete takes flight more vertically. Snowboarder Sean FitzSimons of Hood River competes in the slopestyle event—a series of jumps

and rails where athletes dial in runs of mind-bending difficult spins and flips, linking together runs all without crashing. FitzSimons is the youngest Oregon athlete at 21, but has racked up an impressive array of experience at a young age. FitzSimons rode with the Mt. Bachelor Snowboard team as a youth and has progressed his craft through the years, bringing him to his first Olympic games.

For those who want to watch Oregon athletes at home, NBC broadcasting stations will have live viewing events and daily recaps. Tommy Ford will be live for his first run in Giant Slalom on NBC Saturday, Feb. 12 at 6:15pm. The second medal runs will take place on NBC Feb. 12 at 9:45pm.

Jacquelin Wiles will race Super-G Thursday, Feb. 10 at 7pm, and compete in Women’s Downhill Monday, Feb. 14 at 7pm. Luke Winters and the men’s Slalom races will have their first runs take place Feb. 15 at 6:15pm on NBC, with the second medal runs happening Feb. 15 at 9:45pm. Finally, the Slopestyle finals will be live on NBC Feb. 6 at 8pm, with qualifying rounds taking place on Feb. 5th at 8:30pm. Cable and local viewing times can vary, so check your TV provider to confirm those details.

Mt. Bachelor’s February agenda is packed to the brim with awesome events that are fun for the entire family! A couple exciting occasions being featured on the mountain in the coming weeks include the celebration of the opening of Peace Park for the 2022 winter season and VertFest.

The Peace Park Season Opening Celebration starts on Feb. 5, 11am-3pm, and features dancing and funky beats at the Woodward Boombox, athletes lapping the park and photographers snapping shots of riders carving up snow paths. The park is located off the Skyliner lift, and skiers and snowboarders with the most style will be featured on both the Mt. Bachelor and Woodward Mt. Bachelor social channels.

The VertFest event takes place on Feb. 13 at 10am and “is dedicated to raising the level of snow safety education and stoke for backcountry enthusiasts and supporting the efforts of the Central Oregon Avalanche Center,” according to the Mt. Bachelor website.

The main draw of VertFest is the uphill race that challenges the abilities of all ages and skill levels who take on the course with or without a costume.

The race will be divided into separate divisions based on experience that includes: Elite, Recreational, Splitboard, Rookie Rally and Youth. Awards will be given to the winners of each division and for the best costume.

Registration cost for VertFest is $35 for adults and $15 for youth.

Visit mtbachelor.com for more information on both events and for lift ticket pricing and VertFest registration.

The rough-skinned newt: a poisonous curiosity in the Northwest

By Jim Anderson

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 03, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

O

ne of the things I enjoy about birds is watching them, the other is discussing them. Well, I guess I’d better include eating them as well.

Before I came down with my present heart condition, my diet was completely different — meat was high on the menu and Col. Sanders’ fried chicken was at the top. But now with my eating habits being severely restricted to vegan foods by my dear wife Sue, meat is out of the picture, and fried chicken especially. The other day I said she had saved my bacon with her vegan foods, but she corrected me immediately, “No…” she said, “I have saved you from your bacon…”

Anyway, on to our newts. They’re common finger-sized amphibians of this neck of the woods—also not good for you eat—and they look just like their name: sort of brown with rough skin and an orange belly. They’re out during the day or night, munching on small invertebrates such as spiders, worms and a variety of insects. And

Al St. John

dry-land critters, found mostly in the Pacific Northwest.

Newts are the current subject of a lot of discussion on the Oregon Birders Online chatter these days.

It seems someone observed a Great Blue Heron gobble up a newt and wondered (and worried) about the heron’s ability to handle that potent poison in the newt’s rough skin. But I have a hunch some birds that eat newts have developed a higher tolerance for newt nastiness.

“Change” is very common in the World of Nature, and in a female newt’s eggs, a change in poison quantities has been noted often. So, if for some reason you get a hankering for boiled newt eggs, watch out.

My pal, Al St. John in Bend, is a life-long-time aficionado of reptiles and amphibians. He’s written books about those loves of his life, including the book, “Reptiles of the Northwest,” and I consider him to be an expert on the subject of herptiles Al St. John

Rough-skinned Newt crossing the McMinneville-to-Coast highway.

As far as TTX having an effect on birds, the popular opinion seems to be that when animals swallow the newt’s poison in low doses, it can cause a tingling or numbness (St. John’s drooling garter snake?) Higher amounts cause paralysis and death.

So, in that light, if an animal eats too many newts it may not see the morning sun. However, saying that, I think this subject should be looked at in a controlled situation.

When I rolled into Bend from Connecticut on my beautiful 1947 Harley in the late summer of 1951, my first paying job was fighting lightning-caused wildfires for the U.S. Forest Service.

In those days there was an old trapper’s cabin up near Lava Lake that was a neat place to spend the night in, especially when you were wasted from fighting fire all day.

My first night in that cabin with fellow firefighters was punctuated by an

age-old tale of three trappers who died in that cabin from Rough-skinned newt poison. The story went that they accidentally scooped up a couple of newts in their coffee pot from a spring nearby, boiled them up after supper and the poor guys never saw the dawn.

Scientifically, the newt’s toxin shuts down sodium channels in a warm-bloodied animal’s body, which puts a stop to breathing, and that’s that.

I’d also guess that living in the world of newts and river otters is a pretty smelly mess — newts stinking up the countryside when grabbed up by otters for a meal, and dead otters lying around after said meals.

If you have a better-than-average sense of smell you will probably smell a newt if you pick one up. It’s been stated that this can sometimes act as a warning to a predator who grabs up a newt to swallow it for supper. So, keep that in mind.

Jim Anderson

when it’s time for babies, females lay their eggs in quiet waters.

But one of the most awesome—or should I say, fearsome?—facts about our local newts is that they are really, really poisonous! That “rough skin” they’re named for is filled with deadly stuff!

Just to make this a little more scientific, we’ll have to get into a discussion about the chemical newts carry in that rough skin. It’s known as Tarichatoxin, or TTX, the same poison found in pufferfish. However, pufferfish live in the ocean, while newts are

(amphibians, snakes, lizards and such).

He mentioned snakes eating newts in an exchange we enjoyed in a recent email. To wit: “Yep, in the Pacific Northwest there’s indeed an evolutionary arms race happening between many populations of Common garter snakes and Rough-skinned newts.”

“But despite having a resistance to the newt’s potent skin toxins, garter snakes are still affected by it. After shooting photos of the specimen shown above, when I picked it up in my hand I noticed that the snake seemed drunkenly lethargic and was drooling from its mouth!”

Van Henion Brewing takes over Boneyard’s brewhouse

33

By Brian Yaeger Brian Yaeger

W

hile a lot of today’s craft beer focuses on the new new, there’s always been a thread in beer realizing that what’s old is new.

When Monkless Belgian Ales opened in 2014, it was the first local brewery to focus on old, Belgian style ales. When Porter Brewing launched in 2018, it became the first local brewery to exclusively brew old, British-style cask ales. And now in 2022, Van Henion Brewing Company is the first to completely focus on old, German-style lagers—actually half-true, since it also makes contemporary American IPAs (but even then vows to not dabble in the ultra-modern hazy or milk sugar driven variants), and debuted in January with its new Helles.

This lager style gets its name from the German word for light or blonde. It harkens back to “beer flavored beer” marked by a malt bill that smacks of fresh baked white bread and just a kiss of grassy hops. And Van Henion Helles Lager is certainly brewed in a rather vintage manner.

Long before Louis Pasteur observed yeast and its role in fermentation, brewsters and brewers turned to their latest batch of beer and set aside a portion of the mysterious sludge– what we now know is flocculated yeast—to inoculate the next batch with it. So the concept of taking something old from a brewery and using it to make something new within the brewhouse is not new to the industry. Boneyard Beer, for example, simply took that idea to its stainless-steel conclusion by jury-rigging, also called Frankensteining or boneyarding, its overall brewhouse with leftover tanks and kettles from older brewing companies, including Three Floyds Brewing in Indiana, Redhook in Seattle, SweetWater in Georgia, and, most curiously, Bert Grant’s Brewery Pub. Founded in Yakima, Washington, in 1982, it was America’s first post-Prohibition brewpub. All that equipment, collectively, used to brew 30,000 barrels annually of Boneyard (mostly RPM IPA), but now may see around 3,000 barrels of Van Henion’s two initial offerings, Helles Lager and IPA plus forthcoming Germanic beers, in its first year. At least that’s what co-owners John Van Duzer, Mark Henion, and his wife Dana Henion, hope to see.

The trio, it should be noted, are not new to the brew system. They’ve all brewed on it since 2014 when they joined then-four-yearold Boneyard. The trio’s careers had all intertwined, starting with Van Duzer and Mark Henion working at then-six-year-old Deschutes Brewery in 1994. Nine years later they both migrated to Cascade Lakes Brewing. In 2011, Mark and Dana met while brewing together at Ninkasi Brewing Company in Eugene. By 2015, they were engaged and moved to Bend just as RPM became the juggernaut it is that necessitated the second, larger Boneyard brewhouse.

When the pandemic hit and seemingly killed draft beer overnight, “Boneyard lost 99.9 percent of our customers,” said Mark

Two of Van Henion’s three owners, Mark and Dana Henion.

Henion—and with that, the draft-only Boneyard required drastic help in pivoting to canning beer. Thus, the sale to Deschutes Brewery, where greenhorn brewers Tony Lawrence, founder of Boneyard, Van Duzer and Henion all first met.

As such, the brand-new Van Henion brewery is anything but.

It’s not that Van Henion is single-handedly hanging its hat on Helles lager. For one thing, they’re not the only Bend brewery to brew the style. GoodLife’s Bavarian Lager is also a helles and the German-inspired Prost taphouse always has an imported version available, such as Vollbier Hell from Klosterbrauerei Andechs.

Van Henion’s forthcoming third release, Dana Henion mentioned, will be a Kolsch—also a light, blonde beer, but pre-dates lagers, so it’s a German ale. Soon thereafter we can expect to see a pilsner. But lagers are their heart style. By virtue of taking longer for them to ferment— typically six or more weeks versus faster fermenting ales that can be served two or three weeks after their brew date—brewing only lagers would cut the brewery’s annual production capacity from 30,000 barrels to around 15,000.

But just as not all of their beers will be Germanic lagers, the trio of owners/brewers can’t deny that we live in the land of IPA—a style you’re never hard pressed to find one or more examples of at nearly every brewery in America. As Mark Henion stated, “The consumers will determine.”

Van Henion beers are currently available on draft at area retailers such as Broken Top Bottle Shop and Brother Jon’s Alehouse as well as in six-pack cans at beer retailers. Seriously, they’re like two weeks old and I see their stuff absolutely everywhere. But if you’re excited to drink a pint—I neglected to ask if they’d sell by the maß (mass) which is that tall, dimpled litre mug that Germans use—the Van Henion tasting room at the brewery should be open by mid-February.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “All things are inventions of holiness,” wrote poet Mary Oliver.

“Some more rascally than others.” I agree. And I’ll add that in the coming weeks, holiness is likely to be especially rascally as it crafts its inventions in your vicinity. Here are the shades of my meaning for the word “rascally”: unruly, experimental, mischievous, amusing, mercurial, buoyant, whimsical, and kaleidoscopic. But don’t forget that all of this will unfold under the guidance and influence of holiness. I suspect you’ll encounter some of the most amusing and entertaining outbreaks of divine intervention ever.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I regularly ask myself how I can become more open-minded. Have I stopped being receptive in any way? What new developments and fresh ideas am I ignorant of? Have my strong opinions blinded me to possibilities that don’t fit my opinions? In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I encourage you to adopt my attitude in the coming weeks. For inspiration, read these thoughts by philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin: “If things speak to us, it is because we are open to them, we perceive them, listen to them, and give them meaning. If things keep quiet, if they no longer speak to us, it is because we are closed.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The year 1905 is referred to as Albert Einstein’s “Year of Miracles.”

The Piscean physicist, who was 26 years old, produced three scientific papers that transformed the nature of physics and the way we understand the universe. Among his revolutionary ideas were the theory of special relativity, the concept that light was composed of particles, and the iconic equation E = mc squared. With that information as a backdrop, I will make a bold prediction: that in 2022 you will experience your own personal version of a Year of Miracles. The process is already underway. Now it’s time to accelerate it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Like all the rest of us, Virgo, you have limitations. And it’s important for you to identify them and take them into consideration. But I want to make sure you realize you also have fake limitations; you wrongly believe in the truth of some supposed limitations that are, in fact, mostly illusory or imaginary. Your job right now is to dismantle and dissolve those. For inspiration, here’s advice from author Mignon McLaughlin: “Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.”

Davis said that if you want to improve your work, you should “attempt the impossible.”

That’s perfect advice for you right now. I hope to see you hone your skills as you stretch yourself into the unknown. I will celebrate your forays into the frontiers, since doing so will make you even smarter than you already are. I will cheer you on as you transcend your expectations and exceed your limits, thereby enhancing your flair for self-love. Here’s your mantra: “I now have the power to turn the impossible into the possible and boost my health and fortunes in the process.”

courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else,” counseled poet and activist Maya Angelou. Author Toni Morrison said, “The function of freedom is to free someone else.”

Author and activist Nikki Giovanni wrote, “Everybody that loves freedom loves Harriet Tubman because she was determined not only to be free, but to make free as many people as she could.” I hope the wisdom of these women will be among your guiding thoughts in the coming weeks. As your own power and freedom grow, you can supercharge them—render them even more potent—by using them to help others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ancient Chinese

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Man, sometimes

philosopher Sun Tzu wrote, “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.” You’ll be wise to make that your motto during the next five months, Taurus. Life will conspire to bring you more and more benefits and invitations as you take full advantage of the benefits and invitations that life brings. The abundance gathering in your vicinity may even start to seem ridiculously extravagant. Envious people could accuse you of being greedy, when in fact, you’re simply harnessing a crucial rule in the game of life. To minimize envy and generate even more benefits and invitations, be generous in sharing your plenitude.

it takes you a long time to sound like yourself,” testified Miles Davis, one of the most unique and talented jazz trumpeters and composers who ever lived. Popular and successful author Anne Lamott expressed a similar sentiment: “I’m here to be me, which is taking a great deal longer than I had hoped.” If those two geniuses found it a challenge to fully develop their special potentials, what chance do the rest of us have? I have good news in that regard, Scorpio. I believe 2022 will be a very favorable time to home in on your deepest, truest self—to ascertain and express more of your soul’s code. And you’re entering a phase when your instinct for making that happen will be at a peak

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “’Because there has been no one to stop me’ has been one of the principles of my life,” wrote Gemini author Joyce Carol Oates. “If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere,” said Gemini actor Marilyn Monroe.

“Play the game. Never let the game play you.” So advised Gemini rapper and actor Tupac Shakur.

“Who I really am keeps surprising me,” declared Gemini author Nikki Giovanni. I propose that we make the previous four quotes your wisdom teachings during the next four weeks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Develop enough

is usually the crab. But I propose we temporarily change it to the tardigrade. It’s a tiny, eight-legged creature that’s among the most stalwart on planet Earth—able to live everywhere, from mountaintops to tropical rainforests to the deepest parts of the sea. In extreme temperatures, it thrives, as well as under extreme pressures. Since it emerged as a species half a billion years ago, it has survived all five mass extinctions. I believe you will be as hardy and adaptable and resolute as a tardigrade in the coming months, Cancerian. You will specialize in grit and resilience and determination. PS: Tardigrades are regarded as a “pioneer species” because they take up residence in new and changed environments, paving the way for the arrival of other species. They help create novel ecosystems.

Metaphorically speaking, you could be like that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the course of human history, three million ships have sunk to the bottom of the Earth’s seas. At one extreme have been huge vessels, like the Titanic and naval cruisers, while at the other extreme are small fishing boats. Many of these have carried money, gems, jewelry, gold, and other precious items.

Some people have made it their job to search for those treasures. I believe there could and should be a metaphorical resemblance between you and them in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time for you to hunt for valuable resources, ideas, memories, and yes, even treasures that may be tucked away in the depths, in hidden locations, and in dark places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods,” wrote author Margaret Fuller. That’s the bad news. The good news is that your capacity for exposing and resisting falsehoods is now at a peak.

Furthermore, you have a robust ability to ward off delusions, pretense, nonsense, inauthenticity, and foolishness. Don’t be shy about using your superpowers, Capricorn. Everyone you know will benefit as you zero in and focus on what’s true and genuine. And you will benefit the most.

Telling people what you want is necessary under certain circumstances, like when a woman at the diner says, “Hi, I’m Madge, and I’ll be your waitress,” and not, “Hi, I’m a mindreader, here to guess what you want for lunch.”

As Mick Jagger points out, “You can’t always get what you want” — but asking for it is a major start. Your girlfriend, however, has what clinical psychologist Randy Paterson describes as a “passive” style of communication. It’s driven by fear (often “a profound fear of being rejected”) that leads a person to keep their needs on mute. In contrast with healthy assertiveness — explaining “Here’s what I’d like” in a timely way — your girlfriend’s approach is basically: “I’m a woman with needs!...but I won’t tell you what they are, and then I’ll go all funeralface for a week because you didn’t meet them.”

Her passive style is relationship poison. You can’t really know her when she’s always hiding who she is and what she wants. And because needs that go unexpressed are needs that can’t be addressed, she’s probably filled with anger and resentment — including sexual resentment from expecting you to be all “Fifty Shades of ‘Guess!’”

Had your girlfriend written me to ask how she might change -- that is, start asserting herself — I’d offer her advice on how to do that (and why she should). Your issue is different: inspiring her to want to change. Present this not as her problem but a relationship issue: You love her and want to make her happy, but that takes knowing what she wants. Ask her to go to couples therapy with you. (Chances are she’ll go whether she actually wants to or not!)

This could be the beginning of a beautifully healthy relationship — possibly with her, if she’ll do the work to risk being honest with you. Of course, the first step is being honest with herself when answering the question, “Why does he always ignore what I want?!”: “Um, because I communicate in a language used by ferns.”

My girlfriend will say she’s okay with things when she really isn’t. But then she spends days pouting and making cutting remarks, never saying what the real issue is -- like that she really wanted Chinese, not Thai. Is our relationship doomed, or can I get her to be more direct?

We are selective forgetters, readily deleting from memory the things we really, really need to remember. This can be amusing in retrospect — like, after we go all Israelites 2.0: wandering for 40 years around the Mall of America parking garage — or until we file a false report that our car’s been stolen, whichever comes first.

The things we long to evict from our thoughts — like your recurring waking sex dreams of your unsuitable Donny Adonis -- squat in our mental attic like codependent ghosts. It doesn’t help that you can’t just decide to find him sexually repellant. We have a mental template for what we find hot — shaped by evolution, genetics, and individual experience. There’s no little cartoon trash can you can drag it into because you’re hyperventilating over the wrong himbo.

Adding to the fun, social psychologist Daniel Wegner finds that “thought suppression” — trying to forget, ignore, or shove away thoughts — makes those thoughts come back with a vengeance. Wegner and his team instructed research participants, “Try not to think of a white bear.” This is a big fail right from the start, because the mind sweeps around to check whether you’re thinking of a white bear -- which means you’re thinking of the damn bear.

There does seem to be a way out using two obsession-reducing steps from psychologists Jens Forster and Nira Liberman. First, admit that it’s hard to keep from thinking about him, which alleviates the pressure to succeed at it. And my take: It might also help to find the funny in it when your hottieloop goes on repeat: “Really, Self?

Again with the futility TV?” Second, crowd out thoughts of him with substitute thoughts. Say the alphabet backward or read a book aloud.

Repeatedly, if necessary. (The underlying principle: You can’t hold two thoughts in mind or say two things at once.)

Keep this up, and you should eventually (mostly) extract yourself from this mental torture loop -- without the obvious

I’m a 31-year-old gay man. I have these intrusive lusty thoughts about my ex, like daily. I’m extremely physically attracted to him, but we just don’t work as a couple and never will.

Despite knowing this, I’m having a hard time stopping myself from thinking about him. It’s more of a mental habit than anything else, but I just don’t know how to break it.

Thinking about selling your home?

Now is the time to get your property in order

buyer) can bring down the overall perception of a home’s value. This step may require you to rent a storage unit or find some other way of storing your extra stuff while selling your home.

Perhaps the most important thing we like to do with most of our sellers is a pre-inspection. It’s just like the inspection a potential buyer is going to do, but the seller is inspecting their home prior to listing it. The reason our team is such proponents of this is that it removes one of the biggest hurdles in selling a home. With a pre inspection done, any discovered issues can be fixed prior to going on the market.

Another benefit of the pre inspection is it allows homeowners who are not licensed and bonded contractors to complete the repairs. One of the biggest problems right now is finding contractors who are willing and able to come do small jobs that only take a couple of hours. Anyone who has faced challenges during the inspection period knows what a headache this can bring. You now have parties to a transaction trying to renegotiate based on an inspection report. This renegotiating can cause both sellers and buyers to dig in their respective heels, and sometimes, deals can terminate. It is a much more pleasant experience selling a home knowing no major issues are going to come up during the inspection period.

Your home is clean and de-cluttered, all smells are removed/mitigated, and all your home inspection items have been addressed: now, the most stressful part of this process will be getting out of the house for showings and reviewing offers!

o you want to get your home on the market and get top dollar. How can you best take advantage of today’s seller’s market? It is late January here in Central Oregon and inventory is low— not just because inventory has been low for two years, but also the seasonality of real estate. People flat out prefer to move during the warmer months, and once school is in session the real estate market tends to slow in a transactional sense. The holidays come through and slow things down even more; now is the calm before the selling season kicks into full gear. With that in mind, what can one do now to prepare their home for the upcoming selling season?

There is lots of conventional wisdom out there about de cluttering and really clearing out a lot of items and things to give the home a more spacious feel. You want to clean out all your closets, cabinets and storage areas to really show off the space in your home, not just the main rooms.

Buyers open closets, pantries and such, so you want those areas free of mess, too. If you have young children, this can be a serious challenge at times.

Removing photos and personal items is another common thing that is often mentioned, and I certainly agree with, but what else can one do?

The simplest thing one can do once the house is decluttered and personal items removed is give the home a deep cleaning. Go through the home room by room and get the place sparkling! If you have pets, I would highly recommend using an O-zone cleaner to remove all pet smells as any offensive odor (to the
