I spent the better part of last week taking part in the judging process for the Bend Chamber’s Women of the Year awards. I can’t say who won just yet (stay tuned for the March 5 issue, when we share some of the stories of the winners), but I can say that if there are any Reasons to Love Central Oregon, the women included this year are it. This region is filled with movers and shakers, with doers and dreamers, and with those who look outside themselves and their own daily dramas to support those in need. Our region, in its ongoing season of growth and change, has so many community heroes.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, we are taking time in this issue to share some of the reasons to love where we work and play. It’s far from comprehensive, but I guess that’s why we continue to put out an issue week after week. The job of telling meaningful stories is never done…

entral Oregonians have been painfully aware of the extent of the housing crisis for years.

As the community began to emerge from the Great Recession, locals began to understand that the flip side of “bust” is “boom”—and that “boom,” for a lot of people, translated into a housing affordability problem and a growing population of people experiencing homelessness. This massive community problem has been brewing for a decade—and while our local governments have also been aware of the issue, the coverage we have afforded those governments has often erred on the critical side.

As we now bear witness to the cascade of programs aimed at solving the housing crisis coming out of the local area, we’d like to take a moment to give a thumbs up.

Our housing crisis may not be anything new—but at this point in time, it seems that local agencies, governments and individuals are finally taking an “all-hands-on-deck” approach to getting things done.

While this is far from a comprehensive list of the efforts happening in our community, it should stand to show just how much is afoot.

Read our news page this week for information on the transitional housing project, organized by the Bend Heroes Foundation and Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, and supported by local elected officials, that will provide 15 transitional-home-style tiny homes for veterans, located on a piece of land leased by Deschutes County. This has been a massive interagency effort, happening on a relatively rapid timeline. Deschutes County also stepped up in another way this fall, offering one of its empty buildings to house a temporary winter warming shelter for those experiencing homelessness.

In Sunriver, Sunriver Resort continues to press on in an effort to build employee housing for its workers (and those at other area

resorts)—provided the Deschutes County Planning Commission approves its amended plan, after denying the first iteration. We maintain that adding this type of housing and slating it for traditionally lower-paid hospitality workers is progressive thinking on the part of a private business.

At the City of Bend, a few recent code changes, including one that now requires fewer road improvements on the part of developers, may result in building more housing units in Bend. The City also hired a full-time Community Outreach Officer last month, whose job it is to help locals connect with resources around homelessness and mental health. The City also hired an analyst last year, whose role is to address the City Council’s goals around diversity, equity and homelessness.

City Councilor Bruce Abernethy— also part of the above-mentioned Central Oregon Veterans Village—is also taking part in the Homelessness Assessment and Solutions Project, a project that the City’s website describes as “Private investment in a consultant to review and identify potential homelessness solutions.”

District Attorney John Hummel and Todd Taylor of Taylor NW are also involved in that project.

And with the Oregon legislative session now underway, state legislators are also aiming to tackle homelessness in a variety of ways. Rep. Cheri Helt is working to get more funding for unaccompanied homeless youth. Sen. Tim Knopp introduced a bill that would freeze property taxes for low-income seniors.

And the list goes on.

While we’ve mostly sunsetted the approach of giving locals a “boot” or “glass slipper” for their works in the community, we occasionally bring out the slipper to give kudos where it’s due. This is one of those times.

It’s too soon to say that a resolution to the housing crisis is looming, but these are strong moves forward.

RE: WILL REPUBS WALK AGAIN? 1/30

SB 1530, the bill that would hold the largest polluters in our state accountable, and establish an investment fund to fairly distribute proceeds of a cap and invest program to communities most impacted by climate change, was introduced yesterday in the Oregon Senate. Recent improvements to that bill are heartening. It is not everything that HB 2020 was, but we cannot make the perfect the enemy of the possible with climate chaos on the near horizon. The cost of doing nothing is too high.

@sourceweekly

With significant concessions to rural Oregon, there is no reasonable justification for Republican Senators to deny a vote on SB 1530, even IF they (mistakenly) believe their constituents oppose meaningful action to address this issue! This legislation has been ten years in the crafting, needs to be considered unfinished business, and must pass in the “short session” now underway. Not only economically advantageous to our State, meaningful action to combat the devastation of climate change is a moral imperative at all levels of government.

RE: AN INTERVIEW WITH JASON GRAHAM, 1/30

RE: ON POWDER AND POLKA, 1/23

Regarding driving and parking vs busing to the mountain. Before moving to Bend I worked in Breckenridge, Colorado as a bus driver for several years. If you want more people to ride buses, there’s a pretty simple fix; you charge for parking at the lifts and use that money to subsidize free bus service. If that seems unfair, consider how it works now: Everyone who buys a lift ticket is paying a share of the costs of building and plowing parking lots, but people who ride the bus don’t use the lots. So, in effect, the bus riders subsidize the parking.

Getting more people to ride the bus reduces road congestion, improves safety, reduces CO2 and gives everyone a better experience.

ODOT appears to be planning to close the entrances to the parkway from Lafayette, Hawthorne, and Truman Avenues. This will tremendously increase downtown congestion, as many drivers will have to take 3rd street, already much congested.

Might ODOT consider adding a third lane between Lafayette and Colorado, and again after Truman, which might be fairly easily done by decreasing the median between north and south lanes and adding some of the shoulder. This would enable an acceleration lane from the downtown streets and might be helped by a simple sign that says, “Allow merging.” The present plan clearly makes things worse, not better.

A Koala-ty Cause Local teen Adler Bartlett hopes to help as many injured Australian animals as possible through a donation-based fundraiser.

Local teen raises awareness and money, hoping to help save endangered Kangaroo Island wildlife

eliminating the middleman. “The island is home to a lot of endangered animals, and animals that are important to the ecosystem,” said Bartlett.

“Koalas, kangaroos, wombats, snakes, sugar possums… they’re all important.

The wombats have been burrowing into the ground and saving other animals. A lot of baby koalas crawled into the burrows and were found there, alive.” She explained the lesser-known importance of keeping as many koalas alive as possible. “There’s a virus on the mainland that’s killing a lot of them off,” she said.

“The koalas on Kangaroo Island are healthy… the healthy koalas are needed to figure out what’s causing the virus and how to cure it, which will save more koalas in the longrun.”

In an interview with ABC News, University of Adelaide PhD candidate Jessica Fabijan said, “This last large, isolated chlamydia-free population holds significant importance as insurance for the future of the species.”

It’s believed that Kangaroo Island

marsupials could be the only chlamydia-free koalas in the country.

Sandy Henderson, founder and executive director of the Central Oregon Film Office, is working with Bartlett to help the vital supplies get where they need to go. Henderson, originally from Australia, will travel back home within the next several weeks to bring over the donated medical supplies.

“If people can’t donate, we at least hope they can help spread awareness,” Bartlett said, saying she’s planning to do presentations at area schools, along with Henderson. If someone still wants to donate after the lollipop fundraiser window has closed, supplies like burn cream (even expired), bandages, cotton pads and Neosporin will be accepted. Bartlett and her team will be collecting supplies on Sunday, Feb. 9 from 1 to 3pm at the Bridges Clubhouse.

dler Bartlett, a 13-year-old student at High Desert Middle School, was devastated to hear the extent of the damage caused by the recent Australian wildfires. A longtime animal lover who moved to Bend from Anchorage, Alaska, a little over a year ago, Bartlett realized she couldn’t just stand idly by as helpless Australian wildlife suffered.

“I want to raise awareness,” she explained. “I’m working towards raising money through local donations, so that the affected animals can be rehabilitated.” Inspired to promote consciousness and offer overseas assistance, Bartlett organized a program she calls “Helping Hearts.”

Through Valentine’s Day, Bartlett and her classmates will be selling heartshaped lollipops for $1, and donating

every penny raised to the rehabilitation of Australia’s injured wildlife.

According to reports, nearly 1 billion creatures have died as a result of the fires, with 25 million acres burned.

New South Wales is the most affected Australian state, and it’s been estimated that at least one-third of the total NSW koala population has been killed.

The New York Times referred to the fires as the “worst in Australian history,” and thousands of people are still being evacuated.

Bartlett decided to focus her attention on Kangaroo Island, an aptly-named haven for Australian wildlife, devastated by the bushfires. “All of the proceeds we raise will go to this island specifically,” she explained. The goal is to offer direct assistance to the injured animals by

Officials estimate that about one-third of the koala population perished in the Australian wildfires.

HOUSING CRISIS

Tiny Homes for Vets

Cheri Helt

A project offering transitional shelters for veterans gets off the ground

By Laurel Brauns

C

entral Oregon Veterans Outreach estimates that there are between 80 and 100 veterans living in the region without homes.

But the exact number is hard to find.

The 2019 Point In Time Count published by the Homeless Leadership Coalition reported 62 veterans.

Hundreds of homeless camps dot the landscape on the outskirts of Bend and Redmond. Many people without homes live in the woods because they’d rather not be found, according to James Cook, co-chair of the Central Oregon Homeless Leadership Coalition.

But a new project aimed at providing temporary shelters for veterans is uniting city, county and state leaders across the political spectrum. The Central Oregon Veterans Village aims to build 15 transitional shelters and a community center for 15 veterans in the region.

Erik Tobiason, president of the Bend Heroes Foundation, along with COVO, are spearheading the program.

“It’s not a done deal until the ink is dry,” Tobiason told the Source. “But I want to emphasize that the City of Bend, the Deschutes County commissioners and Rep. (Cheri) Helt have been very supportive and share the vision and are prioritizing this program in their leadership activities.”

Tobiason said the plan is to have the shelter community built by next fall, behind the Deschutes County Public Safety Campus near the Sheriff’s Office. Supplies for 15 tiny homes are already in Bend, and volunteers are working to assemble and paint the small cottages. Tobiason presented the proposal to the Deschutes

County Commissioners Jan. 27. Now, county staff are drafting a memorandum of understanding with COVO and the Bend Heroes Foundation, establishing an agreement to lease the land owned by Deschutes County to the nonprofits.

Tobiason is also working to raise funds to build a community center in the new village. The individual tiny homes won’t have running water or cooking facilities, but the main building will have a kitchen, bathrooms, showers and meeting rooms.

Tobiason was inspired by the Clackamas County Veterans Village, opened in 2019 and funded entirely through the Clackamas County general fund. Do Good Multnomah, a veteran-managed nonprofit, provides daily services to help veterans transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency.

In the case of the Deschutes County facility, “We can’t just say, ‘welcome to the village, here’s your home, good luck,’” Tobiason said. “That is where COVO comes in. We’re going to manage the construction of the shelters, they’re going to provide the daily services and continuous case management to help solve the ongoing problems that veterans face, especially when they’ve been living out in the woods for years.”

COVO will help with behavioral and physical health services, job training and the eventual transition to more independent living. The Deschutes County Stabilization Center is scheduled to open this spring on the same campus as the village, adding an additional safety net. DCSC was designed as an alternative for people in

Wildfire Warriors

City leaders and Bend Fire & Rescue work to protect the forests we love

By Laurel Brauns

n Central Oregon, the threat of wildfires looms on the horizon for most of the summer. Whether it’s the impending doom of apocalyptic smoke clouds or nightmares of complete annihilation (like Paradise, California), locals definitely worry about wildfires.

But Central Oregon has also developed a national reputation as a place where diverse groups and agencies can work together on long-term solutions for wildfire prevention, as well as short-term action plans for fires close to its towns.

The Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project steering committee uses a consensus model to develop recommendations to restore the forest around Bend to its natural, historic state. The goal is to prevent the danger of wildfires close to town and to keep the forest resilient to insects, disease and climate change.

“Over the years the ecosystems were disturbed when fire was suppressed and there was heavy logging,” said Bend Mayor Sally Russell, who serves on the steering committee. “All the prescribed burning you see around

the edges of Bend, that only happened after intense work and compromise with loggers, timber companies, environmental groups, a wildlife biologist and many other stakeholders.”

The burns are part of a 26,000-acre restoration project that earned the group the “Chief’s Honor Award” in 2017 from the National Forest Service.

It’s the highest award NFS gives out.

Because of her experience working with DCFP, Russell was appointed to Gov. Kate Brown’s Council on Wildfire Response. The group discusses ways that the state and communities around Oregon can work together to reduce the risk of wildfires. The council assesses the impact of fires on health, homes, businesses and the overall economy of Oregon. It has identified three goals: -Create adaptive communities that can recover quickly from wildfires -Restore landscapes so they are more fire resistant -Establish a game plan to respond to fires safely and effectively in a coordinated, statewide effort Bend Fire & Rescue is part of the integrated plan in Central Oregon to protect the city from nearby wildfires.

isitors’ first entry into the “Water World” of Central Oregon may involve floating the Deschutes River in Bend or Sunriver—but the reasons to love this element of Central Oregon go far beyond what one can discover from a flimsy tube. Step one: getting bodies into the rivers and lakes of the region to foster that sense of wonder and beauty that can lead to an increased interest in conservation.

Step two: Translating that increased interest into action.

As is true for humans anywhere, water is life—but recent years have shown we can’t take it for granted.

Bend’s water supply comes largely from Bridge Creek west of town. The City of Bend won a national award in 2018 for its efforts to be “WaterWise,” including implementing a water leak detection system and regulating the days and times of day when people can irrigate their lawns. The City was also part of the Upper Deschutes Basin Study, aimed at planning for the water needs of the region in the coming decades.

That process highlighted what many in the conservation community already knew: The region’s historic irrigation system—which directs water from Wickiup Reservoir on the Deschutes River (among other area rivers) to the many farms from here to the Columbia River, was taking more water than was healthy for fish, frogs and other creatures—and was leading to increased temperatures in the river.

About 40 stakeholder groups, including the Deschutes River Conservancy, continue to come together to craft a new vision for the river, including the piping of irrigation canals, aimed at preventing irrigation water loss and ensuring there’s ample water for the entities needing it.

As the Deschutes River Conservancy describes it on its website, “Over 100 years ago, federal and state policies encouraged the settlement of the high desert by facilitating access to land and irrigation water. In many cases, the state gave out more water rights than existed in the river during the dry summer months.”

To foster that sense of wonder and beauty that can inspire people to action, the DRC is at work on a coffee table book, “Home Waters,” celebrating the past, present and future of the Deschutes River.

“We are living in a place where many people have only recently moved here and don’t have access to the wealth of stories and inspiration the Deschutes River and its tributaries have provided,” wrote Marisa Hossick, communications director at DRC, of the reason for the book.

The book features the written and visual works of many Central Oregonians, including tribal members from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, who share their belief that water was the first gift given to them by the Creator.

Another group involved in the Basin Study was the Coalition for the Deschutes, whose mission is “Working to restore the Deschutes River so fish, farms, and families can thrive.”

It, too, fosters that wonder around the river, including hosting its annual “Wild Rivers Night,” featuring speakers whose work is centered around rivers.

Trails

A look ahead into what’s next for some of our trails in Central Oregon

R

aise your hand if you’ve used one of Central Oregon’s trails. Now keep reading if you plan to use them again.

The High Desert is home to a variety of trails for all types of things— biking, walking, running, snowshoeing and more. As the community continues to grow, it’s important that these trails continue to evolve as well. We checked in with the Central Oregon Trail Alliance and Bend Park and Recreation District to see how all that earth-moving is going.

Central Oregon Trail Alliance COTA is a nonprofit dedicated to developing and protecting mountain biking in Central Oregon. Its crews often work closely with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bend Park and Recreation and other organizations on trail projects in the area.

Following a busy year in 2019, during which COTA completed the new COD trail, added a COTA chapter in Sunriver, completed the first phase of the Sunriver trail system, finished construction on 12 miles of multi-use trails in the Madras East Hills and much more, the organization already has a well-planned out 2020.

“We’ve got a lot on our plate for 2020, with six chapters managing new trail builds AND a ton of trail maintenance,” board member Kelly Burke told the Source. “While trail maintenance isn’t as exciting as building new, it’s just as important. We all know what happens to roads and homes that aren’t properly cared for.”

Items on the docket in 2020 include finishing planning for converting Crook County’s Bandit Springs winter trail system into a summer trail system, beginning development of trail improvements in the system west of Bend, continuing to work with BPRD to create a robust trail environment at Big Sky Bike Park and more. You wouldn’t be wrong to say it’s a really good time to be a cyclist.

Bend Park and Recreation District For Bend Park and Recreation District, two themes abound when

it comes to its trail network: Connectivity and accessibility. Changes coming in the near future include resurfacing the Haul Road Trail and improving 14 crossings along it, as well as resurfacing portions of the Central Oregon Historic Canal Trail, said Henry Stroud, trail planner at BPRD. In terms of connectivity, BPRD is working with the City of Bend to hone its “low stress network”—a City project aimed at mapping and improving connections to create the lowest-stress routes for cyclists and other active commuters.

“Trails are great. They’re easy to ride on. But it’s not always feasible to use trails to get us to where we want to go. And that’s why people drive cars,” says Stroud. “Right now, I’m working really hard with the City to figure out how our trail network can work best with their low stress network.”

Accomplishing that involves an emphasis on safety at road crossings.

This includes trail signage and pavement markings, but also the need to make the road crossings enticing enough for people to use—rather than forging one’s own path to the trail. BPRD currently has four crossings in the design phase. The City has just completed one on 15th Street and will complete one for pedestrians crossing Third Street.

Connecting the trails is one issue; making sure they are accessible to all is another. Whether it’s making things more wheelchair accessible or having access points near more neighborhoods, BPRD wants Central Oregon to be a place where everyone can enjoy local trails.

“We always start from the standpoint that you want it to be as accessible as possible,” says Stroud. “We want to design them to support people of all levels.”

Weird

Central Oregon

By Cayla Clark Louie Castro Garcia

Local Breathwork professional explains incredible healing powers hidden deep within our own lungs

By Cayla Clark

N

ew Age therapies include some unconventional practices... and are met with a fair amount of skepticism. Therapies such as crystal healing or aura cleansing can be difficult concepts to accept blindly. When first introduced to breathwork, Bend local Jon Paul Crimi was a skeptic, too.

“I’m from Boston,” he explained. “In Boston, you can’t blame your problems on Mercury being in retrograde. If your life’s a mess, you can’t say, ‘Ah, well, it’s Mercury.’ That just wouldn’t fly.” But he explained that his first breathwork exposure left him doubtful. “It was just a lot of weird woo-woo stuff, crystals and essential oils, all of that. But when I actually laid down and did the breathing technique as instructed, the results were undeniable.”

The practice of breathwork (around for centuries, but gaining awareness around 40 years ago) teaches control and manipulation of breath in order to promote emotional and mental healing. While participants report results like mental clarity, emotional purging, increased alertness and improved mind-body connection, others notice actual physical benefits. A study conducted by the Yale School of Medicine in 2014 found that the epinephrine surge during hyperventilation causes the immune system to increase anti-inflammatory activity. “Subjects who were taught a breathwork routine had less severe inflammatory responses after exposure to IV bacterial toxins than those who didn’t,” the study reads.

“A lot of health problems stem from emotional issues,” Crimi explained.

“Unresolved trauma can make us physically sick.” The practice isn’t just for those with obvious issues, either.

According to Crimi, we’re all holding onto something. “Who isn’t depressed or anxious nowadays?” he noted.

“Of course, some people are walking around with more trauma than others, but it’s really rare to meet someone who doesn’t need it.” He described his own history of substance abuse, and how breathwork opened a door.

“I didn’t realize how much stuff I had trapped in my central nervous

system; so much grief, so much sadness, so much anger,” he said. “I’d done therapy, 12-step programs, all of it. After my first session I was wondering why no one had introduced this to me sooner—when I was 13 or 14 years old and depressed, suicidal. After one session I was hooked, and I’ve been doing breathwork every day for the past eight years. Now I’m calmer, nicer, lighter, happier… as soon as I let go of my preconceptions and allowed myself to reap the benefits, my life changed completely.”

Crimi initially had a difficult time selling his friends on the idea—mostly because of the assumptions people made when hearing the unfamiliar and “out-there” concept of self-healing through controlled breathing—so he changed things up.

“I thought, if I made this practice more accessible, maybe more people would be willing to try it.” He stripped his practice of crystals, incense and essential oils, and incorporated blaring rock music and what he described as a “Tony Robbins-style” experience.

“It’s actually really intense,” Crimi explained. “I blast Fleetwood Mac, the Stones… it’s a powerful ride. The goal is to clear out all of the stress, anxiety, depression and grief and fill back up with gratitude and love.”

After a slow start, the practice has been well-received in Central Oregon. His workshops now consistently include about 240 participants. “Bend is awesome,” he said. While it’s been his home base for over a year, he also flies back and forth to Los Angeles to work with high-profile celebrities. “I was surprised by how receptive people here were. They’re serious about selfcare, they show up on time and they actually want to do the work.”

Let's not take Bend's pinball options for granted... seeing as pinball was temporarily banned in at least one part of Oregon in the 1950s.

• Portland is home to more strip clubs per capita than any other city— even Las Vegas. An article published in Willamette Week in 2015 reported that fact. Tampa, Florida, rang in second.

• Over the years, Oregonians have witnessed many seemingly unnecessary laws going into effect. Women are banned from wrestling in Salem.

It is illegal to eat a donut while walking backwards on any sidewalk in Marion County. Ranker.com suggests that none of these laws have been overturned, though finding evidence of their existence isn’t easy. For now, err on the side of caution and don’t whistle underwater while in Portland, and avoid boxing with a kangaroo when visiting Myrtle Creek.

• Oregon loves llamas. So much, in fact, that we own over one-fourth of the nation’s total llama population.

According to the International Llama Registry, Oregon had 2,125 llama owners as of Feb. 3 (most of them in Tumalo, of course...) Texas currently has 2,095.

• There are currently 80 ghost towns listed in Oregon. The National Register of Historic Places confirms that a wide array of abandoned logging and mining towns leads us to reign supreme as the ghost capital of the nation.

• We are the only state with an official state nut. In 1989, the hazelnut

was deemed the official state nut, according to Chapter 186 in the Oregon Legislature. We also grow over 99% of the nation’s total hazelnut crop - as confirmed by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Some other interesting “Official Designations” include brewer’s yeast as the state microbe, milk as the state beverage and Dungeness crab as the state crustacean.

• Oregon loves wine. Oregon had more than 760 vineyards in 2017, according to the 2017 Oregon Vineyard and Winery Report. Not only do we like to drink wine, we like to write about it. The 2018-19 report suggested an average of 44 articles on Oregon wines written per day.

• In 1949 Dorothy McCullough, Oregon’s first female mayor, was elected in Portland. Her first order of business? Banning all pinball machines. According to PinballMap. com, Portland now has more pinball machines than Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. The once pinball-free city is now home to 756 machines in 322 venues—up from 343 machines in 2010.

• Oregon ranks sixth for the nation’s most Bigfoot sightings. The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization lists Oregon as having 253 reported sightings. Deschutes County has 16, and Clackamas County boasts the most sightings with 27.

Is the Flask Empty?

Whereas we pose the question: Does Larry and His Flask still exist?

By Bill Mintiens

14 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 6, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Ben Morse

Larry and His Flask band members, from left to right: Jeshua Marshall, Jamin Marshall, Kirk Skatvold, Ian Cook and Andrew Carew.

F

or those counting, the last time local stars Larry and His Flask played together was a year ago this month.

Typical for this high energy, self-styled “Post-Americana” rock band, the “This Remedy West Coast Tour” included 14 shows in five western states over the span of about two weeks.

With a year passing since then, I had to ask, does the group still exist?

“To me it does,” said Andrew Carew, band member since 2008.

But since that tour, the band hasn’t played together and reports no plans for future gigs. So why does a band that has recorded seven full-length albums and two EPs, and has toured all over the world with bands like the Dropkick Murphys, simply stop playing?

It’s complicated—but hang with me.

With roots in Redmond, the band was formed in 2003 as a three-piece punk rock band with Greg Johnson.

“Larry and his Flask” is a fictional character created by band member Jamin Marshall in 2003.

Over the subsequent 17 years, the band evolved. The number of members reached a high of 11 in 2008, and the sound changed over time. According to the LAHF website, the band spent “its first half-decade stuck in a primordial,

punk-rock goop where the goal was always party over perfection.”

By 2008 the band had radically changed its sound. Acoustic instruments prevailed, Ian Cook became the lead vocalist, Jamin Marshall went back to drums and multi-part harmonies became common—all while high-energy live performances continued to attract fans.

During the 2019 tour, the band included five members: Ian Cook on lead vocals and guitar; Kirk Skatvold on mandolin, trumpet, guitar and vocals; Jeshua Marshall on double bass, harmonica and euphonium; Dayne Wood on drums; and Andrew Carew on banjo, trombone, trumpet, guitar and vocals.

Conspicuously absent was the band’s co-founder, drummer and first lead vocalist, Jamin Marshall, who permanently left the band in 2018.

“He just needed a change in his life, the road stopped appealing to him— which it did to most everybody in the band,” said Jeshua (Jesse) Marshall, Jamin’s brother and co-founder.

In a 2015 Digital Music News article titled “Why Bands Break Up,” author Ari Herstand cited fatigue as a main reason band members part ways.

“No matter how successful a band becomes, sometimes the grind of the road can become too much,” wrote Herstand.

This could certainly apply to LAHF. “We played in Norway, Italy, probably 12 different countries in western Europe, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and Newfoundland. It was incredible,” Carew recalled.

“So many incredible shows and tours, so many that they blend together,” Jeshua Marshall reflected. “The Vans Warped Tour in 2011, opening for Dropkick Murphys on a six-week tour of the U.S., relentlessly touring North America and Europe. I loved almost all of it, to be honest.”

In addition, the financial challenges of self-managing a band and the pressures of family back home all contributed to the current situation.

Carew also spoke to the other obvious factor. “Back in 2008, we were all in our 20s and ready to drop everything.

Now everyone’s in their 30s, have families and careers.”

Carew also pointed to the influence of front man Ian Cook.

“We pretty much relied on Ian as the main songwriter, singer and front man.

You can’t do a show without him. And being a father and husband and having

new twin boys, he’s focusing on that now,” said Carew.

The other band members are focused elsewhere as well. Kirk Skatvold works at Tokyo Starfish, a Bend dispensary.

Jeshua Marshall continues to be very involved in the Bend music scene.

“Music is my life. I’m currently working on my debut solo album with Todd Rosenburg of Mad Caddies who is producing and drumming on the record,” he said. Marshall also plans to tour in Europe this summer with an Austin-based band.

Carew works in the building industry and continues his musical passions, forming a local band called “Andy Carew and his You Can Toos,” playing old jazzswing standards.

But international touring aside, have we seen the last of local shows featuring Larry and His Flask?

Jeshua Marshall leaves the door cracked open. “Best answer I can give is a definite maybe. Under the right circumstances it would be a blast to get it moving again but… I’m happy if we leave it as an incredible 16-plus-year adventure with my brothers and best friends.”

Adds Carew, “Don’t lose hope, because it’s not impossible that we might play again.”

2019 Annual Report

Friends of the Deschutes & Ochoco National Forests & Crooked River National Grassland

Discover Your Forest is dedicated to promoting the discovery of 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.

Proud Partner of

www.discoveryourforest.org

Dear Supporters, For Discover Your Forest, 2019 was a year of challenges and changes on the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland. We are proud that with the support of our staff, partners and supporters we were able to connect more people than ever with their public lands and to raise more funds for our National Forests than in any year in our history.

We began 2019 with the longest federal funding lapse and subsequent government shut-down in our Nation’s history.

We were truly inspired by the generosity of our community as we navigated this unprecedented challenge. As we endeavor to support our Public Lands partners in this tumultuous political climate, your support is more important than ever.

2019 also brought the retirement of long-time champion of Discover Your Forest and Deschutes National Forest Supervisor, John Allen. We credit much of our success in programming and community support to John’s efforts. We wish him well in his retirement as we excitedly welcome Holly Jewkes as our new Forest Supervisor and committed partner.

Campfire interpretive programs across the forests

Our conservation education and interpretive programs continue to grow in both quality and quantity. We could not make this happen without the support of our partners. Program and funding support from the US Forest Service, the Children’s Forest of Central Oregon, Deschutes Recreation and Mt. Bachelor allows us to pursue our mission of creating the next generation of environmental stewards. We are extremely proud to have served thousands of kids and visitors, but are especially proud to have expanded the number of hours spent outdoors for students in our free field trip programs.

This year, our volunteers on the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests donated a record setting number of hours to conservation in our region’s special places. Whether they worked as interpretive rangers, trail crews or as volunteer archaeologists, the passion that our volunteers brought to the forest made a tremendous impact. Our residential volunteer program grew tremendously this year as we welcomed 12 new camp host positions in the Newberry Caldera. We are so thankful for the support of these amazing individuals!

Year after year, we continue to be inspired by the generosity of our Central Oregon community. For those who have donated or become a member: thank you. You make our work possible, and your commitment to our forests inspires us each day.

We look back on 2019 as a year in which we triumphed over adversity. As we look ahead, we hope to deepen the connections between our communities and their public lands. With your support, we believe that our National Forests can become places for learning, discovery and connection for all.

With Gratitude,

Testimonials

Torie Withers

Ranger Rick Hurd

Roger Worthington

“I think that DYF has done a great job of creating an inclusive experience for my students by partnering with compassionate and highly educated program leaders. On the most recent trip that we attended, several of my students have mobility and cognitive challenges, and yet they were just as involved and included on the trip and had extremely positive experiences that they will never forget.“

“Discover Your Forest staff are always happy to go out of their way to answer questions and make sure I have whatever is needed to complete my tasks. Volunteering allows me to give something back for the many experiences I enjoyed in the forests.“

“This fall our Worthy Garden Club launched Operation Appleseed, with the goal of planting more than a million trees across the state, one of the best things we can do to mitigate the climate crisis. We wanted to work with a local partner in the Deschutes who speaks for the trees with a track record of translating words into action.

Naturally, we chose Discover Your Forest.“

Ball ‘Til You Fall

Hoops Green tells us what it’s like to be a Harlem Globetrotter and professional basketballer

By Isaac Biehl Courtesy Harlem Globetrotters

Spreading joy through basketball is part of the Harlem Globetrotters' mantra.

Source Weekly: Tell me about your relationship with basketball. How long have you been playing?

Hoops Green: I’ve been playing since I was about four or five years old, ‘cause my older brother—I always looked up to him. He was playing basketball and I wanted to do what he was doing. I’ve played at all levels. I played in high school, in college at UTEP, and I played professionally in Mexico and Europe. Then I got the call from the Globetrotters!

SW: Who was better? You or your brother?

HG: Ha! You know he’ll say that I’m better, because I’m better at skill level and talent, but he’ll also say that he has that big brother strength.

SW: What was it like playing overseas?

HG: It was a really cool experience.

Coming out of college I didn’t really know what to expect. It’s crazy how

with language barriers you can still come together and play basketball. It was really cool to be able to experience that, the different cultures, countries. It was a really good time over there.

SW: Do you think there’s any difference there in how the game is played?

HG: The girls over there were definitely very physical. I’m not saying that they’re not here, but they were really physical. It’s like everybody is a shooter—one through five, all positions are spotting up for threes. I’m like, ‘girl, you better go post up!’ [laughs.] But you know, they get you the ball too, so I had to get used to that.

SW: Going from there, you got the call from the Globetrotters, making you the 15th woman to ever be on the team.

What was it like to be invited to play with such a historical team?

HG: It was an amazing experience

Young Audiences Brings Artists to Central Oregon Classrooms n exciting new opportunity is available to Central Oregon schools and artists: Young Audiences of Oregon/ SW Washington now serves the Central Oregon community, bringing artists directly into the classroom. The program is expanding its roster and looking for artists interested in teaching, as well as seeking schools where educators want the added benefit of bringing artsbased learning to students.

The program, which has run in the Portland area since 1958, is now in the second year of its pilot program serving

getting that phone call. It was like it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I had to take it. My family was excited. I had a huge support system so everybody was pretty happy about it.

SW: Do you remember your first game with the Globetrotters? Were you nervous?

HG: I do remember the first game. We played where the Spurs play. So, it was a HUGE arena. And I wasn’t nervous, but it was a different type of feeling. I went from playing professionally—with that you’re just playing basketball. You’re just locking in on defense, scoring. But with the Globetrotters, you’re playing basketball and you also are entertaining, and people expect you to be perfect. When you’re playing a normal game, I mean there’s going to be mistakes that happen—it’s a game.

SW: What’s your take on the Women’s National Basketball Association?

HG: I know a lot of the WNBA players.

I’ve played with them and against them, so I definitely have so much respect for them and what they do. I say this a lot, but honestly, women players tend to be more fundamental and overall have a better skillset. Granted, we might not be as athletic as the men, which is more so why people tend to not watch. Because they want to see the dunks and the alley-oops and stuff. I’ll always say that as far as skillset and talent-wise, women can compete with the best. If there was a three-point contest, I’m going to pick the girl to win it. Not because I am a girl, but because it’s skill level. It’s all skill.

SW: Do you have a favorite player?

HG: I grew up a Kobe Bryant fan and Allen Iverson fan. So, both my guys are retired now. That was tough—when Kobe retired, I was like ‘What am I gonna do?!’

(This interview was conducted prior to Bryant's tragic death.) But I like different players. Ja Morant, he’s been freakin’ crazy.

Harden changed the game—I don’t even know what a travel is anymore. Russell Westbrook is so explosive, Lebron’s a beast, like you have to respect him. Stephen Curry changed the game with his shooting ability. So, I definitely have players I like to watch, but my guys are retired.

SW: I remember watching Kobe’s last game and it was crazy seeing him put up all those points!

schools in Bend, La Pine, Madras, Terrebonne, Redmond, Prineville and Powell Butte. Perrin Boyd took over as the Central Oregon program manager last fall. A well-versed arts educator, Boyd hopes to develop relationships with schools and be a resource to connect them with arts programs. “If they get in touch with me, I will find them an artist!” says Boyd.

Young Audiences offers schools a “menu” of sorts to find artists who offer a variety of mediums and approaches. Opportunities include one-time performances as well as residencies where

Courtesy Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington.

artists work in a classroom for several days at a time. For example, Young Audiences sent illustrator Rachel Lee Carmen to La Pine to work with 2nd and 3rd graders, showing them how to pair illustration with scientific discoveries.

With arts funding often a problem for schools, Young Audiences offers a program called “Run for The Arts” that includes a fundraising element where youth collect donations for running “laps” around the school or playground. All the money raised goes into an account that can only be accessed for art-related costs, such as supplies or the fee for a teaching artist or performance.

Young Audiences is also looking for artists. The application process includes a questionnaire, submission of a resume and a sample lesson plan. “The lesson plan is to get a sense of what they would do in the classroom and if they understand how to develop a succinct class in 50 minutes,”

Fourth graders at Bear Creek Elementary in Bend created short films with Future Filmworks, working in teams to write, film, and edit their original works— finishing with a screening for their classmates, complete with movie theater popcorn!

says Boyd. If an artist can’t already do that, Young Audiences is committed to developing artists’ teaching skills.

he Harlem Globetrotters are stopping in Redmond on Feb. 9 as part of the team’s Pushing The Limits World Tour. To see a Globetrotters game is to actually witness magic—pulling off such stunning tricks that you won’t see in your everyday pickup game.

I spoke with Briana, AKA Hoops Green, the 15th female Globetrotter over the phone while the team was in East Lansing, Michigan. This is Hoop’s fourth season with the Globetrotters.

Before this, she played college ball at the University of Texas-El Paso and professionally in the Czech Republic and Spain. As Hoops explains, the Globetrotters basically live in the gym.

Eight Treats Central Oregon Loves

LITTLE BITES

By Cayla Clark

If the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, these local delights should do the trick Amy, Flickr

I

t’s Valentine’s Day and you’re one of those lackluster lovers who hasn’t bothered to pick up a generic heartshaped box of chocolates or the massage gift certificate that signals you’ve done the bare minimum needed to get through this holiday. Failing to muster one of those things—or something even more time-consumingly heartfelt— could mean A., you don’t believe in Hallmark holidays or B., your loved one has professed that they don’t need a Hallmark-holiday expression of love. BUT… there’s also a very good chance that one of you is lying, and thus, A., you need to prepare for the relationship fallout right now, or B., you need to find a last-minute thing to make your sweetheart smile.

For those opting for the second B, consider skipping the generic heart box, and instead consider a small expression of love in the way of one of these beloved Central Oregon goods. These are things that a good portion of Central Oregon loves, after all—so there’s a good chance your sweetie will appreciate the effort, too.

Ocean Roll from Sparrow Bakery They may have one every single time they pop into nearly any coffee shop in Central Oregon—but that doesn’t mean getting one on V-Day isn’t going to make someone smile. Find Ocean Rolls and other delicious treats at 2748 NW Crossing Dr., #110, and at 50 SE Scott St. in Bend.

A growler of Boneyard RPM Central Oregon loves many types of beers—but there’s just something special about receiving a gift bearing a skull and crossbones on Valentine’s Day. Get it at the Boneyard Pub at 1955 NE Division St, or at nearly any growler fill station.

Inaugural beer festival at The Suttle Lodge benefits Oregon Adaptive Sports

37

By Nancy Patterson @eatdrinkbend Nancy Patterson

Celebrate Valentine’s Day Breakside’s Chardonnay barrel-aged nectarine and chamomile golden ale set the gold standard.

T

he Suttle Lodge and Boathouse hosted its first Winter Beer Fest last weekend, donating a portion of its sales to Oregon Adaptive Sports. Brewers from Central Oregon, Portland, McMinnville, Hood River and throughout the Pacific Northwest came together to pour a few signature and specialty brews. Five rustic cabins set along a wooded acre of the lodge’s property each hosted a pair of local breweries offering pours of beer.

Smoky Traeger grills warmed up spiced nuts, pub pretzels and bratwurst on each of the cabins’ decks for a symphonic pairing of snacks and beer.

String lights strung from cabin to cabin softly lit up the moody setting. Festival goers kept warm between tastings by gathering around bonfires that raged throughout each day and into nightfall.

Amongst the local breweries were Boss Rambler and Good Life, which joined forces to deliver a red IPA, BossLife. The collaboration brew is a juicy red IPA brewed with Galaxy and Amarillo hops, with freshpicked spruce from Suttle Lake.

Meanwhile, brew masters from Heater Allen, Way Finder and Double Mountain introduced Central Oregonians to their respective pilsners, lagers and a few newly-released hazy IPAs, such as StormBreaker’s House Martell. Coastal beer makers Buoy Beer Co. of Astoria served a Dunkel Lager—a pub favorite inspired by the original style of beer served in Bavarian villages of Germany.

It only seemed fair to sample a bit of each brew, but a few favorites had

me going back for seconds (and possibly thirds). The Pear Barrel Aged from Everybody’s Brewing of White Salmon, Washington, was everything it promised it would be. Notes of caramelized pear, brown sugar and vanilla ice cream emerged from the English dark ale—aged for over a year in Clear Creek Water Pear brandy barrels.

But it was Portland’s Breakside Brewery that took the proverbial cake of the festival. I’m not much of a chardonnay aficionado, but the Sun Ripened Chardonnay golden ale was a hit. It begins as a tart golden ale which is then wood-aged in California chardonnay barrels for more than six months. Upon completion, the brewers add fresh white nectarines and chamomile flowers to infuse the fruity and slightly smoky ale. What was originally intended as a barrel-aged ale drinkable during the summer has now become a wintry favorite for sipping while bundled up around a campfire. Think sour ale masquerading as a barrel-aged cocktail that’s drinkable year-round.

Beer Fest on the Lake

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 Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

38 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 6, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

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 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 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 Stadium 16 & IMAX 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 Stadium 16 & 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 Stadium 16 & IMAX

FORD V FERRARI: This real-life underdog racing

story from the director of “Logan,” starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, is a pretty good pedigree and somehow the movie is even better than it sounds. Just a fun, old-fashioned movie about highly competent adults being awesome and going fast.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

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 Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE GENTLEMEN: Ever since “Lock, Stock and

Your Community SEXUAL HEALTH RESOURCE Ask to talk to one of our CERTIFIED ASSOCIATES ♥ Lingerie ♥ Sex Toys ♥ Party Supplies ♥ Costumes & Wigs

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 Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond CInema

GRETEL & HANSEL: From visionary director Oz 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 Stadium 16 & IMAX

JOJO RABBIT: The funniest movie about Hitler you’ve ever seen, but also surprisingly touching and heartfelt. A slyly brilliant look at how children can get programmed to hate and how love can pull them back from the brink. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL: Everyone’s complaining

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 Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

JUST MERCY: Michael B. Jordan and Brie

Larson star in this true story of a lawyer fighting to get an innocent man out of prison. From the filmmaker behind the modern classic, “Short Term 12,” this should be an absolutely captivating experience. Old Mill Stadium 16 & 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 Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LAST FULL MEASURE: A melodrama about a Vietnam pararescue medic who died saving over sixty people during a battle and the current struggles to get him a posthumous medal. With a cast featuring Ed Harris, William Hurt, Christopher Plummer and Sam Jackson, “The Last Full Measure” is surprisingly excellent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House LITTLE WOMEN: I can’t imagine a better Christ-

mas 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 Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub.

PARASITE: The future Oscar winner for Best

Foreign Film comes back to theaters to deeply unsettle everyone who missed it the first time.

The smartest, funniest and most shocking movie you will see all year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE RHYTHM SECTION: Blake Lively gives the

performance of her career in this dour and intense action thriller about a woman who’s lost everything getting some very elaborate revenge. If this had made money instead of flopping massively, it would have made a solid Bond-esque franchise.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

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 Stadium 16 & IMAX THE TURNING: Based on the classic novella “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James, “The Turning” is a solid little ghost movie up until one of the worst endings in cinematic history. It’s almost worth seeing just so you can be blown away by the sheer ineptness on display. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Oscar Predictions SCREEN 2020 Too many to choose from… but we’ll try to choose some winners

By Jared Rasic

Best Motion Picture: “1917” “Parasite” “Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood” “Jojo Rabbit” “Joker” “Ford v. Ferrari” “The Irishman” “Marriage Story” “Little Women” Should Win: “Parasite” will win Best International, so in a perfect world this would go to “Jojo Rabbit.”

Will Win: The hype is too prevalent on “1917” for that one not to win.

Best Actor: Antonio Banderas in “Pain and Glory” Leonardo DiCaprio in “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” Adam Driver in “Marriage Story” Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker” Jonathan Pryce in “The Two Popes” Should Win: I wasn’t as in love with “Joker” as most folk, but Phoenix is astounding. I like DiCaprio’s work almost as much.

Will Win: Phoenix has this in the bag unless he does something weird and awful between now and then.

Supporting Actor: Tom Hanks in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” Anthony Hopkins in “The Two Popes” Al Pacino in “The Irishman” Joe Pesci in “The Irishman”

Francois Duhamel

Brad Pitt in “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” Should Win: Pitt made being a badass look effortless.

Will Win: Pesci came back from retirement. The Academy loves that.

39 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 6 / FEBRUARY 6, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

used to be good at predicting the Oscar winners, but every year I get worse as my tastes change and I find myself rooting for the movies that shake up the status quo.

I never would have guessed the saccharine “Green Book” or the sexy fish movie “The Shape of Water” would have won, but here we are and I’m ready to try and fail all over again. This year, just to make it harder, I’m going to guess who I think will win vs. who I think should win. Here we go.

Best Actress: Cynthia Erivo in “Harriet” Scarlett Johansson in “Marriage Story” Saoirse Ronan in “Little Women” Charlize Theron in “Bombshell” Renée Zellweger in “Judy” Should Win: Scarlett gives the performance of her career in “Marriage Story.”

Will Win: Zellweger has this one on lock.

Supporting Actress: Kathy Bates in “Richard Jewell” Laura Dern in “Marriage Story” Scarlett Johansson in “Jojo Rabbit” Florence Pugh in “Little Women” Margot Robbie in "Bombshell" Should Win: Scarlett is the heart and soul of “Jojo Rabbit” Will Win: I think Scarlett has this one, unless Pugh gets the upset.

Animated Film: “How to Train Your Dragon, The Hidden World” “I Lost My Body” “Klaus” “Missing Link” “Toy Story 4” Should Win: All five films are wonderful, but I absolutely fell in love with “Klaus.”

Will Win: “Toy Story 4” wins it but I’ll go Ape**** if “Missing Link” steals it.

Cinematography: Rodrigo Prieto, “The Irishman” Lawrence Sher, “Joker” Jarin Blaschke, “The Lighthouse” Roger Deakins, “1917” Robert Richardson, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” Should Win: Jarin Blaschke made courtesy of Neon

The stark beauty of “1917" should win this film some Oscars.

“The Lighthouse” look timeless.

Will Win: I’ll be shocked if Deakins doesn’t get this.

Costume Design: Jacqueline Durran, “Little Women” Arianne Phillips, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” Sandy Powell and Christopher Peterson, “The Irishman” Mayes C. Rubeo, “Jojo Rabbit” Mark Bridges, “Joker” Should Win: Rubeo’s work on “Jojo” is bold and fearless.

Will Win: Durran should have this safely in the bag for her lush work on “Little Women.”

Adapted Screenplay: Taika Waititi, “Jojo Rabbit” Greta Gerwig, “Little Women” Steven Zaillian, “The Irishman” Todd Phillips and Scott Silver, “Joker” Anthony McCarten, “The Two Popes” Should Win: Taika Waititi wrote a beautiful film that deserves credit.

Will Win: Waititi all the way. It’s just so good.

Original Screenplay: Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin-won, “Parasite” Quentin Tarantino, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, “1917” Noah Baumbach, “Marriage Story” Rian Johnson, “Knives Out” Should Win: As much fun as “Knives Out” is, this belongs to “Parasite.”

Will Win: “Parasite” is a masterpiece and the Academy should recognize that.

The hard light of “Parasite" makes it a hard one to beat.

Documentary: “American Factory” (Netflix) “Honeyland” (Neon)

“The Cave” (National Geographic) “For Sama” (PBS) “The Edge of Democracy” (Netflix) Should Win: “Honeyland” takes you on a journey to somewhere truly new and remarkable.

Will Win: “American Factory” is more timely and political.

International Feature: “Pain and Glory” (Spain) “Honeyland” (North Macedonia) “Les Misérables” (France) “Corpus Christi” (Poland) “Parasite” (South Korea) Should Win: These are all solid choices, but “Parasite” is the winner here.

Will Win: “Parasite,” without question.

Original Score: “1917,” Thomas Newman “Marriage Story,” Randy Newman “Little Women,” Alexandre Desplat “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” John Williams “Joker,” Hildur Gudnadóttir Should Win: Desplat’s score for “Little Women” is playful and lovely.

Will Win: Gudnadóttir’s “Joker” score is much flashier.

Best Director: Sam Mendes, “1917” Bong Joon Ho, “Parasite” Quentin Tarantino, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” Martin Scorsese, “The Irishman” Todd Phillips, “Joker” Should Win: Bong Joon Ho for “Parasite.” It’s a landmark achievement.

Will Win: Sam Mendes for “1917.”

It’s just so pretty to look at.

Building Trust

Bend-based company, Respect Outside, aims to prevent sexual misconduct and gender inequity in the outdoor industry

By Isaac Biehl

thinking that this was a service we could offer that would be really well received.”

Miller has worked in the outdoor industry for over 30 years, from raft guiding for Mountain Travel-Sobek, marketing for brands and previously owning what is now Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe. McClard is a graduate of Lewis and Clark Northwestern School of Law. She’s been involved with the Oregon Attorney General’s Sexual Assault Taskforce, the Oregon Governor’s Council on Domestic Violence, the National Coalition Against Sexual Assault and more. Miller says McClard is the “guiding light” in this effort, even helping educate him at times.

Currently, nine states mandate sexual harassment training in the workplace.

Oregon is not one of them.

“What we want to do is move beyond compliance,” says Miller. “We want to move beyond the policies and procedures.”

Thumbs up to inclusivity and respect in the outdoors!

Feeling safe and heard in the workplace should be a given. But in an industry that is still male- and white-dominate, Respect Outside wants to break down barriers and blinders to make it more inclusive—and ensure protections are in place.

“There’s kind of this unique profile of people who work in the outdoor industry that’s kind of different. I don’t want to call it outlaw, but it’s like, ‘I am outside of the law.’ And in some cases, it’s kind of that non-traditional work environment. It’s often very alcohol-fueled,” Miller says. “It’s a different workplace than you see in others. We look at trust, right? Trust is big in outdoor pursuits. Whether you’re rafting down the river, putting a lot of trust in the guide or climbing and you’re belaying somebody. We want to bring that same level of trust into the workplace that you know and expect in the outdoors.”

Respect Outside works to build continuous relationships with the companies with which it partners. It considers each company’s specific needs and how to properly implement procedures and plans to fit within that business’ culture.

When it comes to company policies, as Miller mentions, oftentimes an employee will just sign a form and throw it into a filing cabinet—a practice that screams “good enough.”

As a third party, Respect Outside also aims to serve as a bridge to employees who otherwise might not have felt comfortable going directly to HR or filing a report about an issue in the workplace.

“We have had people say that this is bullsh*t, that it’s way too far with the

political correctness, ‘I can’t even talk to a woman at the bar anymore.’ And I would say, yes, you most absolutely can. You just can’t say things that are inappropriate,” says Miller. “So, like, ‘I can’t even hold a door open for a woman?’ Yes, you can. As long as you open it for men, too. Treat everyone the same.

If you just have that lens of, I’m going to hold the door open for you, I hold the door for women, I hold the door for non-binary people. It’s funny, because what it comes down to is—remember kindergarten? And the golden rule? Just treating everyone the way you want to be treated. It is that simple.”

In Bend, Respect Outside is already partnered with RuffWear to deliver its trainings and support. While the company started in Bend, Miller and McClard expect to work with companies nationwide.

ustainability is a huge part of the outdoor industry. For many companies, part of the mission is to offer greener products, or to make operating procedures more sustainable. But as Gina McClard and Jim Miller saw it, outdoors-based organizations should be dedicating a similar level of effort to creating safe workplaces and fostering gender equality. And thus, Respect Outside was born.

Founded in Bend in 2019, Respect Outside is helping inform and teach businesses in the outdoor industry how to practice gender equality, recognize misconduct, rid a company of biases, create a safe work environment and build trust among teams.

“Other industries look to the outdoor industry to be better stewards. We were talking about that, and she [McClard] said, ‘What about women’s issues?’”

Miller told the Source. “We started

Rock Chuck Day

By Nicole Vulcan

Josh Cook

Oregon doesn’t have groundhogs—but these creatures could spur a new “holiday” around these parts

43

By Jim Anderson Sue Anderson

Volunteers work on the giant snow dragon.

Luminaria at Meissner Nordic Nordic skiing on the night of the Luminaria just got even more magical. The event—in which people light hundreds of candles inside paper bags and line the trail to the Meissner Shelter—is an annual tradition and one of the Meissner Nordic Ski Club’s biggest fundraisers. But this year, participants will be treated to a dragon sighting when they reach the shelter.

On Feb. 1 and 2, local Josh Cook spearheaded the effort to build a 75-foot-long snow dragon—complete with a fire-breathing mouth—with the help of about 100 volunteers.

“Without three dedicated snow cat sessions, we couldn’t have made the dragon like she is,” Cook told the Source.

“A huge shout out to the cat guys!”

So now, on top of enjoying a bonfire at the shelter, participants will have a piece of living art to enjoy.

The Luminaria starts at 5:30 and goes til 9 pm. When parking at Meissner Sno Park fills up, people can park at Swampy Sno Park and catch a shuttle to Meissner.

That’s him, the Oregon rock chuck, aka, yellow-bellied marmot, (Marmota flaviventris) the western equivalent of the Eastern Groundhog.

to reality and proves it’s nothing but a great marketing tool for getting people to come and spend money in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

The truth is, weather has nothing to with a groundhog emerging from hibernation. Nature dictates they appear when the mating season begins. When it comes to male animals, it seems sex drives their world.

It’s also the length of day and the angle of the sun in relationship with the horizon that drives all wild animals toward reproduction, from beetles to bobolinks to bobcats and buzzards.

(I would like to have used bats instead of bobcats, but bats breed in the fall, just before going to sleep for winter.

They also slow down body processes to a near-death rate in hibernation. However, the female bat stores the male’s sperm until she wakes up in spring, then fertilization takes place. While mule

deer moms are frantically searching for enough food to keep their growing fetuses alive, female bats are slumbering in relative comfort.)

So, how about we start a “Rock Chuck Rhapsody” when we see the first yellow-bellied marmot pop up in spring?

Those talented and up-and-coming music students in all the schools could write and play original music about rodents of all kinds — from the diminutive pocket mouse, to voles, to rock chucks—and throw in the Olympic Marmot of Washington for the fun of it.

My traditional way of knowing when spring is really here is when: 1. The Spotted Towhee arrives at my bird feeder (but now they’re here year-round), and, 2. The snow is gone from the Ochoco Mountains. But then, when it snows sideways in April or like it did in the ‘50s one time on the 4th of July, I don’t know what to think.

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 6 / FEBRUARY 6, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A

few years back—on Feb. 22, 2014, to be exact—my wife, Sue, and I were driving a Jefferson County road headed for Eagle Watch. And as it is when we’re driving anywhere this time of year, we were also watching for Golden Eagles to see who’s hanging around, hopefully getting ready to start nesting.

As we were going around a corner Sue suddenly twisted in her seat to look back over her shoulder, and almost shouted, “Oh look, Jim, there’s a marmot!”

Hmm, I thought, this is pretty early for a rock chuck to be awake out sunning himself. Rock chuck is a local name for the yellow-bellied marmot. They’re also close cousins of Punxsutawney Phil, that much celebrated groundhog, Marmota monad, for which Groundhog Day is celebrated.

Groundhogs, aka woodchucks or whistle-pigs, are members of the squirrel family and are found in the central and eastern United States, as well as in Canada. They’re a close relative to our rock chucks.

The groundhog is one of 14 species of marmots. They live a feast-or-famine lifestyle and must gorge themselves on grasses and other vegetation all summer. The whole idea is to build up plentiful fat reserves that will get them through their hibernation in winter.

After the first frost, they retreat to underground burrows and go into a deep stupor until spring, drawing all their energy from body fat. While hibernating, the animal is close to death — breathing and heartbeat hardly noticeable, and body temperature not much warmer than the temperature inside the burrow.

As we all know, groundhog hibernation gave rise to the popular American custom of Groundhog Day, held Feb. 2 every year back east. How the merchants of Oregon let this one slip through their fingers I’ll never know.

Tradition dictates that if a groundhog sees its shadow that day, there will be six more weeks of winter—though such a prediction seems a sure bet over much of the groundhog’s North American range. (This year, by the way, Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring.)

And in case you’re wondering, during hibernation the marmot’s temperature drops from 99° F—when active —to 40°F, when they go into deep hibernation. That’s when the animal’s heartbeat slows from 80 beats per minute to five per minute; its breathing reduced from 12 breaths a minute to about four.

Now here’s where all the hoopla about sunlight and shadows come

Millennials’ Home Trends for 2020 A generation entering the market later than their predecessors

more and more millennials putting a much smaller amount as a down payment and agreeing to take on private mortgage insurance in order to put less down. In taking this approach, it makes home ownership more attainable in a shorter amount of time.

Many millennials are learning of the expense of living in highly desirable/hip areas. As a local example, the median home price in Redmond is on average 25% less than in Bend. We’re finding that this generation is willing to take on daily commutes and live in an area where there may be fewer immediate community amenities in order to attain home ownership and get what they want in a type of home.

Another emerging pattern is asking family for financial help. Many studies show that millennials are three times more likely to ask for help with their down payment from family members.

And, many who do get the help are getting up to $10,000 in gifts from their families (primarily from parents and grandparents).

Many believe millennials will propel the housing market in 2020. We’ll see more and more of this generation entering the housing market in the coming year and years to follow.

It’s important to consider this generation’s impact and emerging buying trends, especially when considering a target market for selling a home.

T

he millennial generation has long been a topic of discussion among those in the real estate industry.

One reason: In the last five to eight years it’s become apparent that this generation hasn’t followed the traditional homebuying trends of preceding generations. Millennials are renting longer and purchasing homes later in life; previous generations historically purchased homes much earlier. We’re now beginning to see millennials transitioning through their “root setting” years, and as such we’re beginning to see new trends among millennial buyers.

Unlike their predecessors, we’re beginning to see a pattern in which millennials are foregoing the traditional routes of homebuying. They’re choosing to purchase smaller homes, putting less money down, purchasing in areas that may require a commute to work and asking family for help to purchase a home.

As millennials tend toward minimalism, smaller homes fit that bill. Unlike previous generations, they aren’t looking for sprawling square footage; rather, they prefer smaller homes that focus on quality over quantity. They’re also tending toward eco-friendly and energy efficient properties with a smaller footprint.

Saving the traditional standard of 20% has been a challenge for this generation, due in part to student loan debt, increases in cost of living and a lack of savings. As a result, we’re seeing

I discovered that the guy I’m dating has a girlfriend he’s cheating on.

In fact, she confronted us, which was awful. I’ve had a history of guys cheating on me, and I want to end the pattern. Unfortunately, I’m not attracted to a lot of guys I go out with, and I’m really attracted to this guy.

— Chemistry Being really attracted to somebody is the go-to excuse for shrugging off a potential partner’s shady behavior -- pretty much anything this side of “Well, sure, several of his neighbors are wintering in Ziploc in his basement freezer.”

It helps that attraction seems like some mysterious and magical force.

It’s actually not. Who we’re attracted to -- which people, with which features -is prearranged by our biological robot overlord, aka evolution, via genetic code written into each of us. It’s part of evolution’s scheme for building better babies -- giving our genes the best shot at being passed on to future generations.

We see this in research by neuropsychologist Bruno Laeng that suggests we are attracted to potential partners who look like us -- though not too much like us. Laeng found that people were most attracted to individuals who share about 22% of their facial features (as opposed to 11% or 33%, the other percentages tested). Other research by social-personality psychologists R. Chris Fraley and Michael J. Marks likewise hit the 22% mark.

Laeng explains that this balancing of “similarity and dissimilarity” (which we do subconsciously) helps us avoid “inbreeding with close relatives,” like siblings or first cousins. Inbreeding increases the chances that both partners would have the same nasty recessive genes for a disorder or disease.

“Recessive” genes are true to label when they are paired with a dominant gene: They recede...slumping into the background, unemployed, inactive. But when two recessive genes for a condition are paired (like when close relatives with the same recessive gene make a baby), these genes become active -- and so does the disorder or the disease.

As for you, the features you happen to be attracted to come in the package of a guy who cheats on his girlfriend.

This reflects bad character. Assuming you didn’t go out into Datingland all, “I’ve just gotta find a sexy sociopath,” reflecting on the evolutionary nuts and bolts of attraction might help you stop

using it as an excuse and give the shove to Mr. Morally At Leisure.

To avoid again letting the hots for some himbo blind you to his undesirable qualities, make a short checklist -- what I call “man minimums,” the qualities you can’t do without in a man -- and put character at the top of your list. When a man shows you he comes up short on your “must haves,” cut off contact and move on. Ideally, if you’re screaming in bed, it isn’t because the girlfriend of the guy you’re with just burst through the door brandishing a missile launcher.

Halving It All I’m a 20-something gay man dating someone who makes Amy Alkon much more money than I do. He picks up the tab on most dates, and while he seems okay with this, it makes me uncomfortable. I pay here and there, but I can’t afford much beyond lunch or lattes.

Does our financial inequality mean a relationship between us is doomed?

— Barely Scraping By Chances are the guy doesn’t think you’re hoofing it up to the Coinstar clutching a baggie of change because you feel the nickels and dimes between your couch cushions could do with a little sun.

What matters is how fair a relationship feels. Fair doesn’t mean everything’s exactly 50-50, as in, he puts in 50 cents; you put in 50 cents. It means you each seem equally invested -equally motivated to make sacrifices to benefit the other -- as opposed to one of you pulling the cashwagon, plowstyle, while the other just hops on, puts his feet up, and enjoys the ride.

When there are imbalances -- when one partner puts in a lot and gets comparatively little in return -- it isn’t just the more giving person who gets socked with the feelbad. Social psychologist Elaine Hatfield finds that partners who are “over-benefited” -- who fail to put in their fair share of the relationship effort -“may experience pity, guilt, and shame,” while those who feel “under-benefited” for their contributions can experience “anger, sadness, and resentment.”

The way to avoid either of these emotional crap carnivals is to voice your concerns. This should start a conversation that sets you two on track to be loving, equally contributing partners in the way you’re each most able -- taking into account that your best bet for making a lot of money in the near future is probably counterfeiting hundred-dollar bills on your inkjet printer.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Physicist Niels Bohr won a Nobel Prize for his insights about quantum mechanics. But he was humble about the complexity of the subject. “If you think you understand it, that only shows you don’t know the first thing about it,” he mused. I’m tempted to make a similar statement about the mysteries and riddles that are making your life so interesting. If you think you understand those mysteries and riddles, you probably don’t.

But if you’re willing to acknowledge how perplexing they are, and you can accept the fact that your comprehension of them is partial and fuzzy, then you might enjoy a glimmer of the truth that’s worth building on.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You now have the power to make connections that have not previously been possible. You can tap into an enhanced capacity to forge new alliances and strengthen your support system. I urge you to be on the lookout for a dynamic group effort you could join or a higher purpose you might align yourself with. If you’re sufficiently alert, you may even find an opportunity to weave your fortunes together with a dynamic group effort that’s in service to a higher purpose.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Victory won’t come to me unless I go to it,” wrote the poet Marianne Moore. In other words, you must track down each victory you’re interested in. You must study its unique nature. And then you must adjust yourself to its specifications. You can’t remain just the way you are, but must transform yourself so as to be in alignment with the responsibilities it demands of you. Can you pass these tests, Taurus? I believe you can. It’s time to prove it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While at the peak of his powers as an author, Gemini-born Nobel Prize-winner Jean Paul Sartre consumed an array of mood-shifters every day. He quaffed at least a quart of alcohol, smoked two packs of cigarettes, and drank copious amounts of coffee and tea. His intake of pills included 200 milligrams of amphetamines, 15 grams of aspirin, and a handful of barbiturates. I propose that we make Sartre your anti-role model during the next four weeks, dear Gemini. According to my analysis of your astrological indicators, your ability to discover, attract, and benefit from wonders and marvels will thrive to the degree that you forswear drugs and alcohol and artificial enhancements. And I’m pleased to inform you that there could be a flood of wonders and marvels.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I don’t think I’m boring. How could I be? I have an abundant curiosity and I love to learn new things. I’ve worked at many different jobs, have read widely, and enjoy interacting with a broad range of humans. Yet now and then I’ve had temporary relationships with people who regarded me as uninteresting. They didn’t see much of value in me. I tend to believe it was mostly their fault—they couldn’t see me for who I really am—but it may have also been the case that I lived down to their expectations. Their inclination to see me as unimportant influenced me to be dull. I bring this up, my fellow Cancerian, because now is an excellent time to remove yourself from situations where you have trouble being and feeling your true self.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Soprano Helen Traubel and tenor Lauritz Melchior performed together in many productions of Wagnerian operas, often

at the Metropolitan in New York City. Friends and colleagues but not lovers, they had a playful relationship with each other. A favorite pastime was figuring out tricks they could try that would cause the other to break into inappropriate laughter while performing. According to my quirky reading of the astrological omens, Leo, the coming weeks will be a propitious time for you to engage in similar hijinx with your allies. You have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to enjoy amusing collaborative experiments, playful intimate escapades, and adventures in buoyant togetherness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Eighteenth-century author Samuel Johnson singlehandedly compiled the influential A Dictionary of the English Language, which remained the definitive British dictionary for 170 years. We shouldn’t be surprised that it was a Virgo who accomplished such an intricate and exhaustive feat. As a high-minded Virgo, Johnson also had a talent for exposing hypocrisy. In commenting on the Americans’ War of Independence against his country, he noted that some of the “loudest yelps for liberty” came from slave-owners. I propose that we make him one of your role models in 2020. May he inspire you to produce rigorous work that’s useful to many. May he also empower you to be a candid purveyor of freedom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there a project or situation you’d love to create but have lacked the confidence to try? Now is a time when you can finally summon the necessary courage. Is there a long-running dilemma that has always seemed too confusing and overwhelming to even understand, let alone solve? Now is a favorable time to ask your higher self for the clear vision that will instigate an unforeseen healing. Is there a labor of love that seems to have stalled or a dream that got sidetracked? Now is a time when you could revive its luminosity and get it back in a sweet groove.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Was there a more influential 20th-century artist than Scorpio-born Pablo Picasso? He was a revolutionary innovator who got rich from his creations. Once, while visiting a gallery showing of art made by children, he said, “When I was their age I could draw like Raphael [the great Renaissance artist]. But it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like they do.” In accordance with your current astrological omens, Scorpio, I suggest you seek inspiration from Picasso’s aspiration. Set an intention to develop expertise in seeing your world and your work through a child’s eyes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I know a Sagittarius man who has seen the film Avengers: Endgame 17 times. Another Sagittarian acquaintance estimates she has listened all the way through to Billie Eilish’s album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 135 times. And then there’s my scholarly Sagittarian friend who has read the ancient Greek epic poem the Iliad 37 times. I have no problem with this behavior. I admire your tribe’s ability to keep finding new inspiration in sources you already know well. But in my astrological opinion, you shouldn’t do much of this kind of thing in the coming weeks. It’s high time for you to experiment with experiences you know little about.

Be fresh, innocent, and curious.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Athens was one of the great cities of the ancient world. Its vigorous art, theater, philosophy, architecture, and experiments in democracy are today regarded as foundational to Western culture. And yet at its height, Athens’ population was a mere 275,000—equal to modern Fort Wayne, Indiana or Windsor, Ontario.

How could such a relatively small source breed such intensity and potency? That’s a long story. In any case, I foresee you having the potential to be like Athens yourself in the coming weeks and months, Capricorn: a highly concentrated fount of value. For best results, focus on doing what you do best.

County Continues to Poke the LUBA Bear The ongoing saga of the Youth Activity Center definition WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 6, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

50

By Jeremy Dickman

T

he Deschutes County Board of Commissioners was roundly rebuked by the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals for its wandering “Youth Activity Center” definition as it relates to the location of marijuana farms.

Given that, it seems the smart thing for a county to do would be a strategic retreat, saving itself and its legal resources for matters more worthy of the County’s attention.

Two of the three Deschutes County Commissioners seem willing to die on the YAC hill, however, if the tone and tenor of Commissioners during the Jan. 29 public hearing is any indicator.

“I think LUBA is instructing the County to consider its previous definition of a youth activity center,” Adam Smith, assistant Deschutes County counsel, told the Board members at the outset of a hearing related to a marijuana farm.

The hearing had been ordered by LUBA so it could reconsider its decision to deny the Waveseer application for a marijuana farm near Rhinestone Ranch, east of Bend. While LUBA didn’t order the County to approve Waveseer’s application, it did reverse the denial, and challenged the commissioners to come up with a reasonable basis to deny.

In short, the argument is whether or not the applicants could have had reasonable notice they were moving in next door to a youth activity center.

For the applicant’s attorney, Corinne Celko of Emerge Law Group, the hearing’s issues were very narrow.

“The opponents have had plenty of opportunity to present testimony and evidence to you,” she said. “What LUBA has decided, is that frankly it was as closely as it could possibly come to a reversal.”

The issue, Celko said, was to determine whether there was some other determination of a “YAC” that was not amorphous, uncertain and therefore unreasonable.

“We’ve been before the County for two years,” Celko added in her opening remarks. “LUBA’s remand gives us the chance to do the right thing.”

In fact, the proceedings have gone on so long that the original appellants no longer own the property.

Celko addressed what she saw as the central question: What kind of due diligence should an applicant be expected to engage in to ensure they were not setting up a marijuana shop next to a childcare facility, school or youth activity center? Rhinestone Ranch had zero permits on file, she argued, that would give notice to an applicant that they were setting up

shop next to anything that could reasonably be considered a YAC. “Assuming you could see a stables, a barn,” she said, “that is all consistent with a farm use on Exclusive Farm Use land. There’s nothing to suggest that is a youth activity center.”

Celko also noted that the Board had deliberated about a week earlier concerning a different marijuana applicant, also wrangling with the Board over the definition of a YAC. In that hearing, the Board cited buildings or specific areas devoted to youth activities, or frequency of events where children are engaging in activity supervised by adults, as among the elements that could prove a YAC exists.

“We have a picture with 14 students with helmets on, out in their arena,” said Commissioner Patti Adair, obliquely referencing the prior week’s deliberations, as well as an online photo attributed to Rhinestone Ranch.

Celko brought the issue back to brass tacks: “Let’s assume someone sees a great number of children riding horses [on the property]. There is no registered business for the state of Oregon at Rhinestone Ranch. There are no land-use approvals for any kind of commercial activity at Rhinestone Ranch. There are no event permits at the Rhinestone Ranch.”

“I drove there, and I did see a sign,” Adair said. The sign she refers to simply says “Rhinestone Ranch,” and doesn’t mention children.

Celko noted that if a school wished to site itself near an unrecognizable, illegal marijuana grow, there’s no way the County would then force the school to re-site. Rather, it would get rid of the illegal grow.

In the case of Rhinestone Ranch, her implication was clear: How could an unlicensed, unpermitted, unrecognizable YAC give notice to an applicant that they should look elsewhere?

“If you as the governing body don’t know what a youth activity center is,” Celko inquired, “how is an applicant supposed to know?”

Despite applicant objections, the Commissioners decided to hold the record open for seven more days.

Between inevitable Oregon Liquor Control Commission wrangling and this County quagmire, whether and when Waveseer can begin planting marijuana seeds is very much uncertain.

Unfortunately, for potential marijuana farmers seeking rural Deschutes County as their home, the Commission’s clear goal of discouraging such businesses by threatening a two-year fight has been achieved.
