EDITOR’S NOTE:

A few months ago, our team was doing a vision session about the special issues we wanted to tackle in 2020. It surprised me to hear the words, “We should do a money issue” tumbling out of my mouth. We’re a local paper and not a business or finance magazine, after all—so why would we take on such a topic?

While lots of spit-balling happens in vision sessions, I think the kernel of wisdom I had back then was rooted in knowing that too many of my Gen X and Millennial friends find themselves despairing at their financial prospects. Bend real estate is too expensive for them. Child care costs are crippling them. Saving for anything beyond the next pair of skis seems daunting. While putting out a Money Issue isn’t going to solve the world’s (or Central Oregon’s) financial problems, I believe taking this issue on locally, and offering a few bright spots in the way of entry points to saving, side-hustling, investing and the like is an endeavor worth doing. Read on and see if you leave feeling a bit more equipped to face the future.

Editor Nicole Vulcan is penning this week’s editorial under her name, rather than being a work of our editorial board, due to her personal tie to the subject matter.

T

his week, we’re putting out our first Money Issue aimed at giving people some food for thought about handling finances in the new decade.

Imagine our surprise when, on the day this issue was going to press, a serious money-related issue popped up at the City of Bend. This one is not about the prospect of massive amounts of public money being spent on transportation or Mirror Pond—but instead, about a massive data breach that may have affected thousands of people who pay their City of Bend utility bills online. It appears I’m one of them.

The City of Bend announced Tuesday that Bendites who made one-time payments or set up auto pay for their utility bills through the City’s Click2Gov online portal between Aug. 30 and Oct. 14, 2019 likely had their card information breached.

“We believe that less than 5,000 City utility customers may have been affected by this incident,” City of Bend Communications Manager Joshua Romero told the Source in an email.

City officials say CentralSquare, the third-party vendor that supplies Click2Gov, discovered that someone had inserted “malicious code” into the Click2Gov software, which “allowed an unauthorized party to copy personal payment card information from customers who logged into the system,” the City’s press release stated.

City officials said they’re working with a forensic investigator, outside legal counsel, local and federal law enforcement and CentralSquare to find out more about the incident.

They say the malicious code has been removed from the Click2Gov site, and that customers can now pay online safely once again.

“Prior to this incident, the City was anticipating implementing the new payment processing services provider within the next 12 months. We are exploring the possibility of expediting that implementation as a result of this incident,” Romero wrote.

Meanwhile, “CentralSquare’s Click2Gov platform has been hacked repeatedly since 2017,” OPB’s Emily Cureton reported late Tuesday. If there was a time to leave a platform, it was apparently a while ago.

The City says it’s sending a letter in the mail to customers it believes are affected—including information about how affected people can take part in one year of free credit and identity monitoring service. I called the hotline number provided by the City to find out if I am on the list of people getting

a letter. A man from Kroll Fraud Solutions, a company he said the City has contracted to work with on the breach, told me he didn’t have any information about credit monitoring. He didn’t know if I was on the list and said I should wait and see if a letter arrived.

Seeing as how mail service has to leave Bend and go to the Willamette Valley before it makes its way back to mailboxes in Bend, I’ll be looking forward, semi-patiently, to getting that notification in the mail. But coincidentally, I was hacked just days ago.

Looking back at my bank records, I made two one-time payments, using my debit card, to the City of Bend during the time in question. On Jan. 1, the same card was involved in a flurry of fraud attempts. I have my bank to thank for rejecting the whopping 47 charges attempted on my debit card from locations all around the world, from Singapore to the Netherlands to Brazil.

As we put out this Money Issue, it seems that one lesson here is, “cash is still king,” though, if you’re like me, you’ve fallen into the trap of thinking technology and electronic payments are convenient enough to be willing to ignore the potential risks. In the 21st Century, society, as we are now finding out in a number of arenas, has blindly believed in tech—from online payments to social media algorithms to electronic voting—often to society’s detriment. Why do we so blindly jump to our own demises? How many more digital hiccups must we endure before we see a significant retraction toward the analog?

For example, Oregon is heralded for its innovative voting system—but it’s not a tech-y system, it’s an analog one.

In spite of all the promise of technology, a vote-by-mail system that ensures each person gets a piece of paper in the mail (and now can send it back free of charge) is the method heralded. In Minnesota, an article this week in the StarTribune detailed how 40-year-old tractors are a hot item, largely due to their lack of sophisticated tech.

Hackers have a full-time gig in targeting victims. So how can we ensure our public stewards have the tools, expertise and awareness they need to combat that? In this case, were they aware that their payment provider had a track record of recent breaches with other cities? While information is still coming out about the City’s recent breach, and questions abound about when, how and why the City is poised to move to another payment vendor, the public should be vigilant in demanding that the City of Bend does all it can to protect our data in the future.

In terms of personal responsibility, may we all remember that data is king these days—but cash still works, too.

CENTRAL OREGON NEEDS ITS GLACIERS Over the past four decades, Central Oregon warmed annually by 1-2 degrees Fahrenheit. Collier Glacier on North Sister lost 75% of its area over the last century. The two changes are related.

At humanity’s current carbon emission rate, climate models predict that Central Oregon may warm by over 9 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100; this is equivalent to raising the annual snowline from the lowest ski lift to the top of Mt. Bachelor.

One of the most consequential effects this warmth will have is on Central Oregon’s snowpack and glaciers.

Oregon has roughly 2 million winter sports participants that bring in over $120,000,000 annually. Decreased snowpack and glaciers will have a large impact on Central Oregon’s recreation related economies.

The snow- and glacier-covered Cascade peaks hold special meaning to central Oregon Native Americans. While it is not our place to speculate what the impact would be on the identity of the Klamath Tribes and Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs when Crater Lake and Mt. Jefferson cease to be cloaked in white, it seems that there could be significant cultural consequences. The loss of snow and ice may violate the United States’ federal trust responsibility to the tribes, particularly when half of Mt. Jefferson and its glaciers are on tribal lands and provide important surface and groundwater for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. The loss of summer meltwater will impact the cultural identity of C’waam and Koptu fishing for the Klamath Tribes and salmon for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

Over 70% of Central Oregon’s freshwater originates from snow and glacier melt. Oregon water rights laws were enacted in 1909 under a fundamentally different climate as the Little Ice Age ended. 110 years later,

@sourceweekly

citizens who want to keep Oregon’s water rights laws unchanged should work to stop Cascade glacier retreat and snowpack decline.

We believe the best means to reduce these impacts of global warming is to assess, observe and preserve our Cascade glaciers on the Three Sisters, Broken Top and Mt. Jefferson. Glaciers smooth out year-to-year snowpack variations and document long-term changes in snowpack. If high Cascade glaciers disappear, so will Central Oregon’s snowpack. The State should fund a glacier monitoring program that has a multidecadal mandate to measure glacier snowfall and melt on one glacier per volcano and glacier dimensional change for every glacier. This could be conducted at a cost far less than $100,000 a year.

Such information would allow for detailed assessments of when a given glacier will disappear, altering water availability, farming, ranching, forestry, recreation and fishing. The glacier information would also permit climate action via reduced carbon emissions to save these glaciers rather than let them die and turn the snow- and ice-covered high Cascades into a Tolkienesque Mordor of black volcanoes.

Responsible citizens should want to keep our glaciers healthy, which in turn means our snowpack is healthy. Contact your representatives and tell them to push for a State-mandated and -funded program to study and protect our glaciers and snowpack.

RE: FASCISM? NEVER HERE, LETTERS, 12/12 & 12/19 A recent letter to the Source lamented: “Socialism is increasingly favored by young and impressionable, uninformed voters.” Had today’s young whippersnappers paid better attention in high school and college, instead of looking over their shoulders for the next

mass shooter, they would better understand and appreciate establishment politics. Were they attending class, instead of striking for the climate, youngsters would know that the oscillating Democratic and Republican presidencies of the past 50 years have employed all the best science to bequeath them a stable and prosperous planet Earth. If they tuned in to the evening news, instead of working a second job to pay down college or medical debt, they would have heard about upward mobility. The youngest, and therefore most naive, voters will visit the polls in 2020 without ever having known what it is for America to be at peace in the world--or how bad that would be for our military-industrial complex.

The same letter writer implied that Hitler was a socialist because Nazi is an abbreviation for national socialism. Young people must take that to heart. Everything, and especially politicians, are exactly what they say they are, and always deliver exactly what they promise. Never mind that the radical Encyclopedia Britannica says: “Were the Nazis socialists? No, not in any meaningful way...To say that Hitler understood the value of language would be an enormous understatement. Propaganda played a significant role in his rise to power. To that end, he paid lip service to the tenets suggested by a name like National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but his primary—indeed, sole—focus was on achieving power whatever the cost and advancing his racist, anti-Semitic agenda” (britannica.com/story/ were-the-nazis-socialists). It’s a good thing that young people don’t read the encyclopedia, or else it might occur to them that Hitler was no more a socialist than Trump is a populist.

Poverty WITH A VIEW? Bend ranks in the top 12% for income inequality compared to other U.S. cities

By Laurel Brauns

S

ince the Great Recession and Occupy Wall Street, economists and left-leaning politicians have been calling out “the 1%,” the small number of people in the U.S. that hold most of the wealth. French economist Thomas Piketty wrote that not since the Gilded Age of the 1920s—immediately preceding the Great Depression—have the American people experienced such a divide between the rich and poor.

In his book “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” Piketty argues that labor income inequality “is probably higher than in any other society at any time in the past, anywhere in the world, including societies in which skill disparities were extremely large.”

But how does this track out in Bend?

At first glance it’s hard to miss the juxtaposition between the multimillion-dollar mansions on Awbrey Butte compared with the cars and tents on nearby Bureau of Land Management land. But are these just extreme examples? Are most people in the third-fastest-growing city in the U.S. living the prosperous, middle-class dream? I dug

into some local data to find out.

Income Spectrum Comparing the incomes of Bend’s top 1% to the bottom 99%, Bend ranked 108th out of 916 cities for inequality, according to the Economic Policy Institute, which used IRS Statistics of Income data through 2015. The top 1% percent of people in Bend then made 21.7 times more than average income of the bottom 99%. Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau from 2014-2018 revealed that in Deschutes County, 25% of households made over $100,000 a year, while the bottom 25% made less than $35,000.

The income poverty rate is currently 7.1%, according to Census data.

Do people in Bend make a lot of passive income through investments and rental property? Digging into the numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reveals that income in Deschutes County is 8.5% higher than in the rest of the state. This contrasts with the U.S. Census estimates of median earnings in Bend, which are only 1.3% higher than the

state’s. Why is there a difference?

Damon Runberg, a regional Central Oregon economist with the Oregon Employment Department told the Source that this is because the BEA data is able to track some money earned beyond wages. This passive income is often earned as a result of having more accumulated wealth—owning property and stocks, for example.

“We have a higher share of income in Deschutes County from dividends, interest and rent,” Runberg said. “Much of that is the impact of a higher share of retirees, but also people who have income from rental properties or stock sales. We also

had a notably higher share of personal income coming from the self-employed.”

Zooming out to incomes in all of Oregon, Runberg’s colleague Barbara Peniston at the OED demonstrated that the wages of middle and lower-class Oregonians have risen slightly since 1990, while the 1%’s income has grown by 52%. The top 10th of the 1%’s wages have more than doubled to a median of $1 million in 2018.

Meanwhile all wage earners in the bottom 80% have seen their share of wages decrease since 1990, with the largest losses experienced by the middle class.

According to the Oregon Center for Public Policy, the median Oregon Oregon Employment Departmen

Since 1990, the top 1% of Oregon’s wage-earners has seen its slice of total wages increase by 40%, while the middle class has seen its share shrink by 12%.

A Half-Mil and Counting Source Weekly and What If We Could help raise $580k The MLS currently lists only 28 properties in Bend that would be considered affordable for a household with two full-time workers making an average yearly salary of $63,680 each. Rent for a professionally managed two-bedroom apartment in Bend averages $1,735 a month, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

income in 2016 was $35,600, only $1,850 higher than it was in 1980, after adjusting for inflation.

Runberg’s data shows an upward trend in wages in Oregon between 2014 and 2017, driven by low unemployment. These gains benefited workers across the income spectrum, and increases in the minimum wage have been especially beneficial for those in the bottom 20%, according to a wagegrowth study Runberg published in 2018.

Wealth and Housing Outside of income, wealth inequality paints a much starker picture. On a national level, the top 1/10th of 1% of Americans own more wealth than the bottom 80% combined, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. Wealth is defined as the sum total of everything a person owns, minus what they owe. This includes everything from a home (or many homes), to money in savings accounts, investments in stocks and bonds and retirement accounts. Debts are a combination of student loans, mortgages, credit card balances and any other bills that need to be paid.

The bottom half of Americans combined have negative net worth, meaning their debts are greater than their assets.

According to Wallethub.com, people in Bend are highly leveraged. Bend ranked in the 94th percentile for unsustainable credit card debt, meaning it will take Bendites longer to pay off the debt

and cost them more to do so. This could be an indication that high costs of living are requiring some to go into debt to continue to live here.

Sonia Capece, HomeSource Director at NeighborImpact, explained how wealth and income inequality are connected to Bend’s affordable housing crisis.

“The median income in Bend is $63,680, so middle-income housing would cost $318,400 for two full-time wage earners, using the House Price to Income Ratio of 2.5,” she said. “Today, an MLS search produces 28 listings for sale in that price range, and most of them are manufactured homes.”

It is impossible to know whether much of Bend’s real estate has been purchased by wealthy people from outside of town over the last few decades.

But Capece believes that as many people lost their homes during the Great Recession, at least some of that real estate was bought as investment property or second homes by people who had higher incomes than the average Bend worker—a pattern that continues to drive prices beyond the reach of the local middle class. Those who can’t afford homes are paying the price through rising rents, Capece said.

What Caused Wealth Inequality?

There are dozens of interconnected reasons that inequality is on the rise, but

here are Piketty’s top hypotheses: -Blue-collar, middle-class jobs have moved overseas or have been automated -The buying power of the minimum wage has decreased -Skyrocketing costs of healthcare and education -Union membership has dropped by more than a half, combined with weaker labor protections -Changes in the tax code that have benefited the wealthy while some companies offshore profits -Tech giants like Google, Amazon and Apple concentrate prosperity in places where they’re located -Antimonopoly policy degraded beginning in the 1970s, contributing to the rise of Walmart and Amazon -CEO salaries have skyrocketed According to Piketty, wealth inequality in the U.S. follows a chronological U shape, peaking in 1930, dropping to historic lows in the ‘50s and ‘60s, and then reaching the heights of the Roaring ‘20s again today. He writes that inequality declined in the mid 20th Century because of the redistribution policies of President Franklin Roosevelt, the high tax rates on the wealthy (up to 70%) and the strength of the labor movement.

In years past, the Source Weekly’s Give Guide helped local nonprofits get the word out. But this year, the program went one giant step further by partnering with What If We Could and adding a digital giving component, CentralOregonGives.com, in which people could donate directly to any nonprofit involved, all from one place. Those giant steps had a giant impact, with the new version of the program collecting $580,000 in its inaugural year. While people donated generously to dozens of nonprofits, the top-fundraising nonprofit was the Boys and Girls Club of Bend, receiving $134,992 through the program, followed by Saving Grace and First Story. The Boys and Girls Club earned an additional $25,000 in matching funds from an anonymous donor for being the top fundraiser in the program.

“This campaign was so aptly named—Central Oregon Gives,” said Boys and Girls Club Executive Director Juliana Williams. “As we kick off our 25th anniversary of building great futures for Bend’s youth, we are deeply grateful to each donor who gave generously to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend. The future is bright!”

What if We Could’s founder, Rys Fairbrother, and Source Publisher Aaron Switzer are already looking ahead to the next holiday season, aiming to raise $1 million in contributions in 2020.

Starting the SAVINGS HABIT

For the Money Issue, locals share their tricks for adding coin to the proverbial piggy bank

By Nicole Vulcan

Y

ou’ve likely heard some of the doom and gloom: 40% of Americans don’t have $400 cash on hand to pay for an emergency expense, says the Federal Reserve. In 2019, 69% of respondents in a GoBankingRates poll reported having less than $1,000 in a savings account, compared with 58% in 2018. Many average Americans are underwater and owe more than they own (see this week’s “Poverty with a View?” story).

Here’s another one: 23% of Americans put ZERO percent of their paychecks into savings, according to a 2019 survey from First National Bank of Omaha.

If you fall into one of those categories, don’t despair. I’m here to tell you that you can do a lot better than zero, even if you don’t think you can.

As a single parent who’s chosen, well, one of the “less lucrative” careers out there, I was one of all of the above during at least some period in my life. And with two college degrees under my financial belt, paying for said degrees still hits hard every month. At some points, putting even $10 away seemed tough, and I know that’s the case for many working adults who live paycheck to paycheck. But somewhere along the way, I got serious about putting money away. Even putting $10 away each month is progress.

It wasn’t easy, yet learning from others around me, I found something that worked: Start a savings (or in my case, investment) account and then make it hard for yourself to draw from the account. One friend, Andy, told me long ago about cutting up the debit card associated with his savings account so he can’t access it. Some, like me, also choose accounts that take up to 10 days to withdraw from.

It’s not the method to use if you’re working on getting up to that $400 in emergency savings that you might need to access in a hurry, but more of a way to really see yourself stacking up some cash for the future. (To get to the $400-in-cash mark, I bought a piggy bank that has to be broken to get

the cash out of it—literally a “break the bank” tactic.)

By adding savings to my budget—and then actually sitting down and budgeting every single month—I went from eking out a few bucks a month, to putting away several hundred a month within a year. It’s still not enough, according to financial planners looking at my retirement prospects, but it’s more than zero. What amazed me most was that by writing down all of my expenses, including the savings, and then paying those

Ryan, Engineer “We all could be better at savings; nonetheless, what has worked for us is keeping an eye on our overall goals. Whenever discussing money or budget, start with reviewing your long-term goals and the decisions to save versus spend become much more focused. This is as true at home as it is for making business decisions.”

AJ, Nurse “I save for retirement and have it auto withdrawn from my paychecks, so I never see it and take advantage of the tax savings. I put the maximum in that my company matches plus a 1% increase every year automatically. I also utilize a healthcare savings account that I contribute to, and my employer does, too. Whatever I don’t use rolls over to the next year. In addition, I use my tax refund for unexpected expenses that come up throughout the year.”

Seriously, I hide money from myself. I picked up this piggy bank, with only a thin "in" hole and no "out" hole, to stash emergency cash. The harder it is for you to save, the harder you should make it to dip into the savings.

things before I had the chance to spend my money on anything else, I found that I actually had more money left over than I thought—so then I started adding more to the savings.

While none of my tactics will be ground-breaking for people who are already financially secure and savvy, they’re rock-bottom basics I had to learn.

I also asked some locals to share the tricks they employ to ensure they’re saving money every month:

Joe, Teacher “I’m terrible at saving money. My best ‘saving’ habit is to have some of my paycheck deposited directly to a savings account. Also, grocery shopping and meal planning so I don’t eat out too much helps.”

Carla, Retired Teacher “We hired a financial advisor to help keep our finances on track. Our financial plan consisted of automatic monthly

installments directly deposited into our savings accounts.”

Ashley, State Government Employee and Landlord “One thing that I do is take out the max amount possible pre-tax for child care. I submit all my child care receipts at the same time. Then I do a happy dance that I managed to save $5,000 without even trying.

“We also do what Andy does with one of our checking accounts. We pay our mortgage for one of our rentals out of that account and deposit the rent checks there. We make sure to not carry the debit card and we don’t touch the account except for that purpose. By the end of the year, we have saved another $6,000 (if all goes well).

“So that’s my lazy way of saving about $11,000 a year.”

Risha, Farmer “The primary way that I save money is by needing less or doing without.

I also save by generating what I need on the land that I have to work with or in community. I make various things (canned goods, saved seed, plants, tinctures, wine, cider, vinegar, etc.) that I can trade with others or use to generate money.

“All of these things also make nice gifts for friends and family, so I don’t tend to purchase gifts.

Growing my own food saves money. Building community helps me save money since I have many people that have a variety of skills that I can trade things with. By having the skills to be able to fix things or make things, I can save from having to buy things or pay for that skill.

“We save money by designing our lives to use a bicycle as much as possible, limiting our investment in fossil fuels and car maintenance. When we do use the car, we make sure that we do multiple things in that trip.

“I also save money by hiding it from myself. When I put my winter clothes away for the summer, I tuck money into the pockets. I do the same with my summer clothes when they go away for the winter.

“Having a cash-based business also helps. During nursery season, I rarely take money out of my bank account, only when I need to keep track of business write-offs.”

The Next GIG THING

More Oregonians turn to the gig economy to supplement their incomes—but some Bendites share why it’s not yet a replacement for a full-time job

9

T

he ways in which people spend their money has changed drastically over the past decade. Mobile phones have become instantaneous portals to whatever services we need, whatever products we want, whatever food we crave.

Uber, Lyft, UberEats, AirBnB, DoorDash… anything we desire is (literally) at our fingertips.

Those who cater to those needs are members of a unique workforce. Rather than work traditional jobs for company owners or corporations, they work on a gig-to-gig basis, usually directly for the consumer. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly 11% of American workers were working the gig economy full-time in 2017. The number of those working part-time is far greater (55 million people altogether). More than 36% of American workers are part of the gig economy. That number is projected to jump to 43% by this year.

What is the gig economy? Josh Lehner, an economist with the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis, explained the difference between freelance work and this recent economic shift. “I really think we need to work on defining gig economy,” he wrote in an email to the Source. “To some people it means anyone with a 1099. But contractors, consultants and freelance designers have been around for a long time. Remote

work is growing over time, but remote work isn’t the gig economy.”

According to the National Association of Counties, there are two main types of gig employees—those who provide labor, and those who provide goods. Labor providers are generally lower income. A report by CNBC states that rideshare and delivery drivers typically make between $12 and $15 per hour, after costs. Goods providers are generally higher income, usually at least college educated. Offered goods might include clothing, arts and crafts (think Etsy), or household supplies. Usually, both labor-providers and goods-providers have other jobs or full-time careers, and “gig” to supplement their income.

“When it comes to the self-employed, average incomes tend to be lower than average wages for workers in traditional jobs. There are a lot of people who do a little side work—I teach a class every couple of years—so when you average out all the people with a little bit of extra income with the smaller section of full-time workers, the average is lower than straight wages for traditional jobs,” Lehner wrote.

Zachary Avis, a Bend local who’s been driving Uber and Lyft part-time for over a year, notes that while the extra income is helpful, earnings are inconsistent.

“Pay is dependent on several variables,”

Zachary Avis, local Lyft and Uber driver, looks forward to more consistent work and more room for growth.

he said. “How many drivers are on the road and the number of potential clients. If there are too many drivers for the number of customers in the region, it waters down the amount of money you can make. If you want to make decent money, you have to stay out later than the other drivers.”

Avis also works at Costco, and with a looming pay increase, he’s excited to fully transition out of the gig economy. “Costco has several high-scale pay increases for me down the road, plus ample benefits,” he explained. “Working for Uber and Lyft is like being at a dead-end job where there’s no room for growth.”

Tom Thurman, a local who drove for Uber full-time for five months in 2017, explained why he got out of the gig business almost as soon as he entered it. “I was making about $500 a week, but I was driving between six and seven hours every day,” he said. “You can make more depending on how much time you put in, but you’re still making just about minimum wage.” Now, Thurman works as a server at McKay Cottage.

Unsplash

Lyft and Uber drivers dominate the roads on major drinking holidays, but how lucrative is the gig the rest of the time?

“I make way more money now,” he said. “It’s more reliable, less ‘feast or famine.’” He also mentioned that driving full-time became very tedious very quickly. “I didn’t enjoy sitting in a car for such long periods of time. I got burnt out on the same conversations, the small talk. ‘Where are you from? What brought you to Bend?’” Cleaning puke out of the back of his Camry on St. Patrick’s Day was also not ideal, he said.

Despite the fluctuations in pay, the gig economy does allow for more flexibility. People can decide their own hours and take on as many “jobs” as they feel comfortable with. However, lack of benefits combined with an inconsistent income leave many “gigsters” in the lurch.

For now, it looks like gigging will be mainly utilized as a way for lower and middle-class Oregonians to support their existing incomes. The State of Oregon Employment Department reported that for the past two decades, Oregon workers were more likely to hold two or more jobs than their national counterparts. “In 2018, 110,000 Oregonians held more than one job in addition to their primary job and were considered to be multiple jobholders,” ODE reported. “The multiple-jobholding rate—the proportion of multiple jobholders among all employed workers 16 years and older— was 5.5 percent, which was above the U.S. rate of 5.0 percent.”

Lehner suggested that while the economy will grow along with the population, a major shift won’t come anytime soon. “I don’t envision that these on-demand jobs will encompass a huge portion of the labor market. The flexibility is beneficial for some people; they can supplement their incomes when they need to. However, most people prefer steady paychecks. Yet if more and more people end up actually doing these types of jobs full-time, that means more competition for traditional employers to find workers. This would cause employers to raise wages further to attract and retain employees, and make traditional work more appealing.”

Will Play For Less

In honor of the Money Issue, local musicians talk about the economic challenges of making a living doing what they love

By Laurel Brauns Erica Swantek

“Everything is free now, that’s what they say; everything I’ve ever done, gotta give it away.

Someone hit the big score, they figured it out; that we’re gonna do it anyway, even if it doesn’t pay.”

-Gillian Welch, “Everything is Free” from “Time (The Revelator)”

P

atrick Pearsall is a local bass player who, for the 10th year in a row, performed over 200 shows this past year. Eric Leadbetter, a Bend-based classic-rock singer/songwriter, played 260.

Both are thankful that playing music supports their livelihood, and both assure me that actually making money from the local music scene takes a lot more than talent.

How do performers and songwriters make money these days, when music is so readily available for free? Stream an album on Spotify, catch your favorite local act for no cover, or rock out to Grammy-award winning artists at free downtown festivals.

Is it even possible for local musicians to make a living from their craft?

Pearsall moved to Bend from Aberdeen, Washington, (home of Kurt Cobain) in 1991, partly for musical opportunity. While Aberdeen was “depressed,” lacked venues and offered little for an aspiring musician, Bend in the ‘90s at least had a few places to perform. M & J Tavern was one of the primary hotspots back then, hosting a weekly open mic night and local bands, Pearsall said. It remains one of the only venues that has survived 30 years later.

Eric Leadbetter is a class-rock singer/songwriter who played 260 live shows last year. He says he’s one of a few local musicians who make a living through music alone.

Pearsall believes that the kind of people who are attracted to Bend tend to financially support musicians in a way that is not as common in big cities and smaller towns like Aberdeen. Many newcomers are affluent, active and are often retired, with lots of joie de vivre.

Leadbetter agrees. He moved here from southern Oregon four years ago.

He had tour stops in Bend for years with his band Jive Coulis and took note of both the enthusiasm and the size of the crowds. Now that he lives here, he’s grateful for the number of Baby Boomers that resonate with his ‘60s- and ‘70s-rock inspired style, and says they’re usually willing to tip generously and buy albums.

Both Leadbetter and Pearsall teach music on the side to supplement their night job.

They both told the Source the typical gig pays $100-$125 per player, per night—a rate that

hasn’t budged since before they were born.

There is much better money to be made playing high-end resorts and weddings, but those are seasonal, Leadbetter said.

Gabe Johnson—a local musician and owner of Parallel 44 Presents—moved to Bend in 2006. He’s booked 1,150 shows in Bend as either a performer, a booking agent or a promoter hosting national acts.

Johnson says he’s felt the squeeze of competition caused by the influx of free shows at the $100/night “menu venues,” which split the audience for the ticketed events he hosts through his promotion company. He laments the irony that these local gigs are usually played by his friends.

“There’s not enough people to support all the cooks in the kitchen,” Johnson said. “Many of those musicians are getting underpaid, accepting deals from venues that they should not accept. There’s

no labor solidarity. The days of music unions having power are long gone.”

Yet, Johnson still believes that the musician’s version of the American Dream is out there. He’s watched bands go from busking on the streets of Portland to bringing in $5,000 a night, six or seven years later. He says it takes a particular kind of resilience to get through the “peanut butter and jelly” years of losing money on tour and coming home without rent money over and over.

What about all the opportunities online to make millions from adoring fans across the globe?

The accessibility of music online has leveled the playing field for those looking for exposure, but destroyed much hope of making money through the sales of original music. Leadbetter says he’s been selling his music online for a decade and has made around $500.

Here is some musical math from Soundcharts, a music streaming data aggregator: Royalties from 1,000 song plays = $7 from Spotify $1.65 from Pandora $5.50 from Apple Music and Google Mp3 sales used to be somewhat lucrative—artists net about $6.50 per album— but because of streaming, music fans aren’t buying digital albums as much anymore.

Sales of downloads fell by 21.2% in 2019 and even more the year before, according to Forbes. Today, downloads account for only 7.7% of global music industry revenues.

Maybe $100 for playing down at the bar doesn’t sound so bad after all?

Shining Through the Static

Weezy Ford’s debut album, “Sugarcane,” highlights a bright future ahead for the Portland rocker

13

Field Electric Recordings

(541) 322-2154

Catch Weezy Ford playing alongside Jeffrey Silverstein on Jan. 10.

O

ne of the most exciting acts rising out of Portland right now is Weezy Ford—the dreamy rock project of Louisa Ford, who happens to be the younger sister of fellow Portland-based musician Sallie Ford. Rounding out Weezy Ford’s musical endeavors as collaborators are Mark Robertson on bass and Dustin Dybvig on drums, who serve as the perfect complement to Ford’s haunting vocals.

In November, Ford followed up her 2016 EP, “Bobbypin Graveyard,” with her debut album, “Sugarcane,” signaling her arrival as another great player in Portland’s rock scene. “Sugarcane” is really the perfect name for this record—you can hear the sweetness in Ford’s tone as she beams through the fuzzy and granular mix of synths and guitar throughout the 11 tracks. On the album, Ford finds herself hovering in a space somewhere between garage rock and bedroom pop, stirring up what is quite a delightful mix to the ear.

The transition from “Flightless Bird” to “Don’t Let It All Hang Out” is a brilliant moment that displays Ford’s finesse as an artist. The former is a smooth, psychedelic-country jam, whereas the latter cranks it up a couple of notches into a momentous session of rock (the drums here are soooo good). It’s that kind of jump that puts Ford’s range as an artist under the microscope. No style or song structure

is too big or off-kilter in her mind— and each track becomes unique to the minds at work in Weezy Ford.

With “Sugarcane,” you can never really predict what’s coming up next.

One track might sound like the score to an eerie ‘80s ballet (“Pools of Dreams”), and the next an entrancing love song (“Sugarcane”). The album honestly sounds like the soundtrack to my dreams when I eat ice cream right before bed—extremely vivid, a little trippy, and yet somehow finds a way to be fun, happy and dark all at the same time. The album’s closer, “Canyon Country,” perfectly represents that—the slide guitar lulls you into a comfort before the static comes in and abruptly wakes you up. It’s a momentous yet light way to end the album, representing the musical cherry on top of Ford’s debut.

The way Ford is able to showcase her vocals in such an ethereal way—not ever becoming louder than the instrumentation or production around her, is what makes this project so great. She’s found the perfect pocket to float in and out of, but never pushes the boundary too far.

Even in this restraint, it’s Ford’s vocals that make you come back for more.

Creative Side Hustles

For some local creatives, making art is a lucrative side business… for now

inding a passion can sometimes lead to finding a career—if you’re lucky.

It seems like the American dream: follow your bliss and the rest will follow.

Lauren Stewart, who works as a prep cook at Spork, has felt that exact magic since moving to Bend from Virginia three years ago with her husband. While she loved Southwest-inspired silver jewelry, it was a love she couldn’t afford. Her husband suggested she just make it for herself, and while that idea seemed wild, she gave it try. By watching YouTube videos and asking online communities of silversmiths, Stewart began making jewelry in

Thanks to his work ethic and entrepreneurial skills, Rosell had a lot of cash on hand at a young age, and usually made more than his friends who took corporate jobs. What he really wanted to do was buy a brand-new Honda Prelude—black with power windows—that is, until he learned about the magic of compound interest.

“Albert Einstein called it the eighth wonder of the world,” Rosell said. “My grandmother showed me that if I started saving $2,000 a year in an IRA beginning at 19, and stopped when I was 27, I’d have $1 million by the time I was 65 (because of the interest). She told me, ‘If you want to be independent of the paycheck, you don’t have to do anything extraordinary, you just have to do ordinary things, extraordinarily well.’”

Rosell earned a certificate in wealth distribution from the Wharton School of Business and then began his second business as a financial advisor. After stories of corruption on Wall Street emerged in the late aughts, Rosell cut ties with the

Almost three years later, Stewart has cut down her time at Spork and now has a studio in Mud Lake studios.

James Gray, the market director for Central Oregon Locavore, has had a similar experience. After moving to Central Oregon seven years ago, Gray found that his love of growing things turned to house plants.

“Not a lot grows here, but houseplants thrive because of the sun,” shared Gray.

Because he didn’t have any more space to put plants on the floors, he moved them to the walls. The result are plants mounted on wooden boards with hand-burned, modern, vintage-inspired graphic designs.

People love them—so much so, that Gray has had a hard time keeping up.

“Each one I do by hand, so it is really exciting to see them in people’s houses

and to get people interested in what I do— it is such a joyful experience. The issue is time. With working full time, I have to do it when I am not working—that includes weekends and evenings and early mornings and late nights, which makes it hard to keep up with demand,” shared Gray.

Stewart raises the same concerns. “I have to practice a lot more self-discipline, because I don’t have regular hours to be there or someone who is going to call me if I don’t go in. I have to make my own priority lists and make time for my own creative processes.”

While both Gray and Stewart expressed interest in growing their “side hustles” into an actual full-time business, both see the benefits of growing slowly. The safety of a salary means they can put the money the business earns right back into the business, without worrying about where bill money is coming from. Both see their art being a bigger part of their future,

Today, he primarily works to design retirement plans for clients who have reached their financial “summit” and are concerned about staying comfortable.

“We don’t like to use the word ‘retire’ because it comes from the Latin word ‘to end,’” he said. “But people are living healthy lives so much longer…. For many, this is a whole new phase of life where they can be financially independent.”

What is Rosell’s advice to millennials who say they can’t afford to start saving for retirement because of student debt and rising costs of living?

“I talk about ‘the latte’ factor in my book for millennials,” he said. “I will ask ‘How much did you spend today on coffee? Did you have a $4 Frappuccino?

How about a muffin? Before you know it, they say they’ve spent $10. That could be $300 in savings every month. Earning only 6% interest, over 20 years you’d have $140,000, in 40 years you have $600,000. You could lead a life of financial mediocrity or you could say to yourself, ‘If it is to be, it’s up to me.’”

By Laurel Brauns monthly financial column for Cascade Business News beginning in 2001. His first book was eventually picked up

by Mill City Press and garnered accolades from U.S. News & World Report and Fox Business as well as testimonials from public figures including billionaire Charles R. Schwab, Jr. and motivational speaker Brian Tracy.

“The books are a mix of two passions,” Rosell said. “I took my passion for adventure travel and mixed that with helping people with their finances. Most people would feel reading a financial book daunting and my goal was to make it not only informative but to make it a book that’s actually fun to read.”

Rosell’s success story began at the age of 15 in Lake Placid, New York, when he began a driveway sealing business after his neighbor hired him for a oneoff job. Rosell saw that he could make a lot more money finishing asphalt ($25) than he could mowing lawns ($5). Much to his parents’ chagrin, Rosell ran the business for 10 more years after graduating from the State University of New York at Geneseo—which funded his backpacking adventures around the world in the off seasons.

“Every chapter in these books meshes a riveting travel story, such as tearing down the Berlin Wall 30 years ago, and leads that into a financial lesson,” Rosell said. “Just before there are one

—David Rosell

Local author David Rosell shares the secrets of a wealthy life that extends beyond money avid Rosell is a writer, traveler, financial planner and retirement “architect” who runs a boutique wealth management firm in downtown Bend, serving 100 clients from all over the U.S. He started his first business at 15, began saving for retirement (in lieu of buying a new car) at the age of 19 and has lived and traveled in almost 80 countries.

For this Money Issue, Rosell sat down with the Source to talk about how he’s gained an international reputation as a financial guru, while remaining committed to connecting with nature and staying focused on spiritual wealth above material gain.

Rosell has two personas. The first is the affable guy you might meet at a bar after a long day on the slopes, full of colorful tales of serendipity and misadventure. The second personality is serious and deliberate, with a knack for explaining complex financial scenarios in down-to-earth language that’s both optimistic and empowering.

Rosell has published two books: “Failure is Not an Option: Creating Certainty in the Uncertainty of Retirement” (2013) and “Keep Climbing: A Millennial’s Guide to Financial Planning,” (2017) for the generation that is the first to have less savings than their parents at the same age, according to a 2019 report by the Pew Research Center.

Beyond Campfire Cooking Dutch oven cooking clinic offered at Tumalo Creek

When I think of ‘camping’ and ‘cooking,’ I imagine an Igloo full of hot dogs, frozen burger patties, and, for special occasions, a carton of eggs and bagged hash browns. The pros at Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe have spent their fair share of cooking on riverbanks and remote forest locales, mastering the art of cooking with coals and definitely without beef franks. During the Dutch Oven Cooking Clinic, the seasoned staff will teach Dutch oven techniques—like a campfire slow cooker. They’ll demonstrate recipes such as pineapple upside-down cake, chicken and dumplings, apple pie and bacon cornbread. Samples included.

More Tacos, Please Vida y Tacos is Bend’s newest taco hub If there’s one thing that Bend loves more than craft beer and working remotely, it’s tacos. With that being said, there’s yet another source for traditional and unique street tacos.

Vida y Tacos, which translates to “life and tacos,” offers up traditional Mexican fare including cochinita, al pastor and tinga chicken tacos. But it’s the “extraordinary” taco menu that has us coming back for seconds.

I sampled a variety of these outsidethe-box offerings, including Korean BBQ tacos served with miso chili mayo, Ahi tacos served inside of a cabbage shell and crispy chicken tacos served with habanero ranch. The fast-casual taco hub is vibrantly and offers easy take-out options or seat-yourself dining. Vida y Tacos replaces the shuttered Ajii Asian Kitchen. Aside from their colorful dining menu, the spot also features “adult slushies” and margaritas by the pitcher.

his past decade has graced us with kombucha, avocado toast, probiotics and a plethora of plant-based proteins—but these are the exciting food trends we can look forward to in the year ahead.

Peanut butter is old news. In fact, even plain old almond butter will no longer cut it. Oh, hello there, watermelon seed butter. Where have you been all my life, macadamia nut butter? If you can pulverize it, you can spread it on a piece of toast.

Locally made Jem Organics nut butters are all certified organic, gluten-free, vegan and kosher. From their decadent Salted Caramel Cashew Almond Butter to their fan favorite Pistachio Ginseng Cashew Butter, you’ll never have to settle for a boring PB&J again.

You booze you lose - make way for mocktails. Dry happy hours are expected to hit bars and restaurants throughout the country, as the sober curious movement continues to gain momentum. The Stihl Whiskey Bar makes a mean Blackberry Lemonade (no bourbon required), and El Sancho features some epic marg-alternatives, including a fresh Passionfruit Limeade.

Ube, a tasty purple yam that has long been favored by cooks in the Philippines, is expected to gain popularity this year (according to a study published by Yelp).

The bright color and sweet taste of the root vegetable will make high-end desserts even more photogenic. While not yet widely available in the US, Yelp notes that restaurants will be incorporating more and more of this colorful tuber in everything from ice cream to doughnuts.

The Aronia berry (commonly known as the Chokeberry) is anticipated to be the next acai. Low in calories and high in vitamin C and antioxidants, these little bluish/black berries are expected to hop right on the ‘superfood’ train.

Plant-based burgers have been stealing the spotlight for the past several

#sadfood

months, but 2020 will see a whole new realm of plant-based foods. Plant-based eggs, plant-based cheeses, plant-based mayonnaise, plant-based gelatin… the list goes on.

Flavored cottage cheese. Next. #sadfood. We all do it - snap a sneaky pic of a particularly Instagrammable dish while our date is looking the other way (damn, expensive sushi roll, you look good). 2020 will see a rise in #sadfood— food too ugly to share on social media that has found an Instagram home regardless.

Check @_sadfood for inspiration.

Edible insects. That’s right, the demand for cricket protein continues to increase, as according to James Rolin, the COO of Cowboy Cricket Farms in Bozeman, Montana (set to open this year). His goal is to “normalize the eating of insects in Western culture,” and the widespread availability of bugs coupled with their nutritional profile actually makes the dream seem possible.

Slightly upsetting, but possible.

Ah, yes. There’s nothing better than a piping hot mug of Asian Cheese Tea at the end of a long work week. While combining cheese with tea may seem illegal, the boba-like beverage is anticipated to Unsplash

Ube ice cream is believed to soon be featured on more restaurant dessert menus.

gain rampant popularity over the next year. Not quite as viciously disgusting as it sounds, cheese tea combines iced tea with a layer of foamed milk, cream cheese and salt. Yum! We’re familiar with veganism and vegetarianism… but what about flexitarianism? This year is expected to see a rise in meat-plant blends. This trend will allow omnivores to cut down on their meat intake while still enjoying something that somewhat loosely resembles a hamburger. The year ahead will also see an increase in dairy and plant-based milk blends. Sure, why not.

White Claw took 2019 by sparkling storm. According to an article published

by CNN Business in Sep. 2019, White Claw confirmed a nationwide shortage based on its rampant popularity. What boozy trends does the next year hold?

Spiked still water. Pura Still, the innovative company that’s currently leading this trend, totes the tagline, “Don’t let bubbles weigh you down.”

Perhaps the most pertinent of all upcoming food trends concerns reduced waste. Local efforts to reduce food waste led to the optional yard debris service through Bend Garbage & Recycling and Cascades Disposal last year. As according to foodbev.com, 1.3 billion pounds of edible food is wasted annually in the U.S., and this number is expected to jump to 2.2 billion by the year 2025. Fruits and vegetables account for nearly 44% of all wasted food. Most of this produce is discarded because of the way it looks.

Grocery stores are expected to feature special bins for their ugly-but-edible produce, marketing deformed fruits and vegetables in fun ways. Additionally, parts of produce that were once discarded (avocado blossoms, sweet potato leaves, beet and carrot greens) will be repurposed into sustainable cuisine.

Chill Axe Winter Warmer at Three Creeks Brewing

T

his year, I resolve to broaden my search for review-worthy beers. I’ll be striving to bring more regional beer reviews from outside of Bend.

To start the new year and the beginning of winter, I took a trip to Three Creeks Brewing. I hadn’t been to the brewery in probably three or four years, and it still looked the same. It feels like you’re walking into a country western scene, but it’s cleaner! Just as I remembered, the service was excellent, and the beer selection was great, too.

Chill Axe has an ABV of 6.8% which makes for easy drinking, but still gives just enough warmth in your cheeks to enjoy on a cold and blustery day.

I ordered the Chill Axe winter warmer with my meal. Before taking the first sip, I captured a whiff of sweet, warm and malty aromas. On the tongue were rich and lightly spiced flavors. Winter warmers tend to bring in spices like coriander, aniseed and various herbs. Many winter-warmer beers will punch you straight in the mouth with these flavors, but Chill Axe is subtle, and I can really appreciate that. There’s a hint of the spice blend and it’s fantastic and balances out the sweet maltiness of this beer—exactly what the spices are intended to do in a winter

warmer. As the beer warms, the spices come forward a bit more, making the spiciness slightly more evident in both the aroma and flavor.

Chill Axe has an ABV of 6.8% which makes for easy drinking, but still gives just enough warmth in your cheeks to enjoy on a cold and blustery day. By contrast, many of our regional winter warmers will hit higher ABVs of 8.5% and up.

The higher carbonation in this beer adds a bit of brightness, further cutting through the rich and sweet maltiness. Don’t get me wrong, Chill Axe is still sweet, but the level of sweetness as it relates to a winter-warmer style is on the lower side. For me, that’s what I like, and I believe that it also helps bring it a high score on my drinkability scale. I give Chill Axe from Three Creeks Brewing a 4.5 because of its moderate ABV, subtleness of spices and lack of cloying sweetness.

I would take a friend out to drink this beer if they told me they don’t usually like winter warmers, or if they had never had a winter warmer before. Chill Axe would be a great gateway beer for a newbie craft beer drinker to taste. We would sit by the fire at Three Creeks Brewing, and maybe play a game of pool. If they decide they didn’t like Chill Axe, that’s cool, because Three Creeks has a really great variety of beers available. Happy New, Year everybody, and cheers to broadening those horizons!

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. Regal Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema BECOMING NOBODY: An interview/conversation with Ram Dass that asks some of the big questions about the meaning of life. This is a good entry point for anyone curious about the basic tenets of the late spiritual guru’s philosophies.

Tin Pan Theater BOMBSHELL: Charlize, Nicole and Margot

take on Fox News from the director of “Austin Powers.” I’m not sure there’s a movie screen big enough to contain the star wattage of those three women on screen together at the same time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

CATS: I’m not recommending anyone do drugs, but

30 YEARS EXPERIENCE SPECIALIZING IN PERSONAL AND SMALL BUSINESS TAXES

if you were to do drugs and you were like, “Hey, my brain is melting from all these drugs, maybe I should sit in a dark room full of strangers,” then you should maybe use that time to watch “Cats.” If you need Taylor Swift and Jason Derulo dry-humping everything while Rebel Wilson eats a cockroach, then this movie is for you.

WE’VE MOVED

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

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 GRUDGE: Normally horror remakes are pretty bad, but this one is directed by Nicolas Pesce, who made the deeply disturbing “The Eyes of My Mother.” Also, the trailer is terrifying. Studios normally dump their terrible horror movies in January, so hopefully this will buck the trend. See full review on p. 27. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HONEY BOY: An autobiographic look at the life of Shia Labeouf and his turbulent relationship with his father. A genuinely humane and beautiful movie that once again reinforces the talent Labeouf possesses when he manages to get out of his own way. Tin Pan Theater

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.

Regal Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

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

LITTLE WOMEN: I can’t imagine a better Christmas present than seeing Greta Gerwig’s take on “Little Women.” With a cast featuring the finest women actors of their generation, this should be the definitive take on the material. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub.

RICHARD JEWELL: Look, Clint Eastwood made

another movie about Americans being picked on by the scary liberal media. Since this was his worst opening in 40 years, maybe people are finally tired of him disingenuously contorting facts to suit his agenda…something he likes to accuse others of doing. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SPIES IN DISGUISE: I’m pretty sure I’ve waited my entire life to see an animated Will Smith play basically James Bond, so consider me excited for this new cartoon adventure. It looks surprisingly great, which would be nice because 2019 was not the best year for animated films. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond CInema STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER: The ninth and “final” film in the Skywalker Saga sees Rey, Finn and Poe take on Kylo Ren and the First Order for all the marbles. Remember, no matter who lives or dies, the real winner is Disney. Every single time. Always Disney. Our new benevolent overlords. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub UNCUT GEMS: Adam Sandler is so good in this movie that it should be impossible for him to go back to making garbage. He probably will, but now we know he can do better. This is one hell of a movie, but make sure you bring some anxiety medication. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

STREAMING THIS WEEK “DRACULA” From the creative team behind “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock” comes this absolutely bonkers and lavish retelling of the Bram Stoker classic. Violent, sexy and weird (sometimes all within the same scene), this is not even remotely a dull adaptation.

House SCREEN Bleak Grudges never die

By Jared Rasic 27

T

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 02 / JANUARY 9, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

he first horror movie that comes out every year is always pretty bad.

“The Bye Bye Man,” “Underworld: Blood Wars,” “The Forest” and “The Devil Inside” are just a few of the January dumping ground flicks we’ve been exposed to over the last few years— none of which were even really worthy of a theatrical release in the first place.

I’ve been unreasonably excited for the new “Grudge” movie because of the talent involved, even knowing it had a disastrous January release date. It’s that feeling where you’re reaching your hand into a garbage disposal, knowing something squishy and awful might be in there, but also just hoping for the best (even though the best is still gonna be partially blended garbage).

“The Grudge” has a cast featuring “Mandy’s” Andrea Riseborough, John Cho, “Weeds’” Demián Bichir, “GLOW’s” Betty Gilpin, Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver and horror/comedy legend Lin Shaye.

It’s a deep bench of great actors hired to take on what I assumed was a reboot of the early 2000s’ J-Horror classic “Ju-On,” or the less-classic American remake.

But then it gets interesting, with Nicolas Pesce hired to direct. Pesce is responsible for two of the most disturbing horror films of the last decade, with “The Eyes of My Mother” and “Piercing,” movies so hard to watch that I love them dearly but will never sit through them again. With Pesce’s deeply disturbing eye trained on the wet-headed little ghost children, what could go wrong?

This year’s “The Grudge” isn’t actually a reboot or a remake, it’s a side-quel,

Courtesy Sony

She gonna shoot some ghosts?

taking place at the same time as 2004’s remake, focusing on a character who leaves the Grudge house in Tokyo and brings the curse back to the U.S., passing it between three interrelated families. The film follows the three families as they die horribly, but the story isn’t told linearly, so we learn the fate of the characters before seeing what happened to them, which robs the movie of much needed tension.

Even with some strange and counterintuitive storytelling choices, it’s hard

to discount “The Grudge” entirely, simply for the unbearable amount of dread Pesce manages to insert in almost every scene. This isn’t a fun horror movie to watch, like “It” or “Evil Dead.” It’s filled to the brim with existential terror and madness that, even when undercut by sloppy editing and jump scares, manages to leave a mark on the soul.

Riseborough and Shaye are both so deeply committed to this hopeless universe that it’s hard not to be heartbroken by their horrible fates. There are no happy

endings to be had here. The best these characters can hope for is being haunted until the end of their days. So even though “The Grudge” is deeply flawed and messy, I can’t seem to shake its bitter and depressing bleakness. It might not be fun, but it’s definitely horror.

BEA, MBSEF and Bend Hoops all expand and look toward the future with new facilities and programs

By Damian Fagan Diana Nagai

MBSEF pours a foundation The Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2017 and has touched the lives of many Bendites through the generations.

“Our roots go back to the early 1920s, starting out as an outdoor club called Skyliners,” said John Schiemer, MBSEF director. “MBSEF really took hold when Mt. Bachelor opened back in 1959, and that really launched our organization.” Due in a big way to visionary Bill Healy, the Skyliners Club started at Mt. Bachelor as a race organization club, led very successfully by alpine coach Frank Cammack.

Construction of the Bill Healy Training Center begins.

Many skiers have passed through the program to national or international success, including Kiki Cutter, Karen Skjersaa, Sherry Blann, Mike Lafferty and Tommy Ford. Cutter was the first American to win a World Cup ski race, and Tommy Ford won his first GS World Cup race in early December. The odd part? “Throughout this whole time, we have never had our own facility,” added Schiemer.

That changed when MBSEF secured a parcel in Northwest Crossing and started a capital campaign. “In November 2017, at our annual Snowball dinner and auction, we announced a goal of $4 million,” said Schiemer. Currently somewhere over the $3 million mark, construction continued with the second pouring of the foundation in late December. The facility will be called “The Bill Healy Training Center” and is slated to open this August.

“It’s really been humbling to see the support for the project and how much MBSEF has meant to a lot of people,” Courtesy of MBSEF voiced Schiemer.

Bend Endurance Academy moves BEA moved its climbing operations to the Bend Rock Gym this past August. “Our competition-level team now has 26 kids and there’s no way we could have run an effective practice at our old BEA facility at one time,” said Mike Rougeux,

BEA climbing director. As the Bend Rock Gym also expanded last summer, space became available to accommodate BEA’s climbing program— which has about 50 participants in development, high school and competition-level teams.

“We’ve already seen what the popularity of climbing has done to our sport, especially in terms of movies such as ‘Free Solo’ and ‘The Dawn Wall,’” said Rougeux. A young climber gets into her moves at Bend Rock Gym. With the debut of climbing as a medal sport at Over time, however, Cox has learned the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, interest that sustaining a gym through just basin bouldering should also climb. “If and ketball is a challenge. “Kids tend to go when climbing gets some airtime during from sport to sport,” said Cox. “Most play the Olympics, it’s pretty cool to think for two to three months, then they are off that a kid could come into the gym and to the next sport.” In order to sustain the imagine that they could be doing the basketball program, Bend Hoops decided same thing someday,” added Rougeux. to offer youth or adult activities in sports Bend Hoops expands beyond basketball Bend Hoops, which opened about five years ago as the first dedicated basketball facility in Bend, offers gym time, camps, clinics and skill development by coaches who have strong basketball backgrounds. “Other places in town require parents to stay with kids who are under 12 years old,” said owner Kevin Cox. “We have a gym manager on duty at all times, which allows parents to drop off their kids and feel safe knowing that the kids are being supervised.”

such as volleyball, table tennis, futsal and pickleball to keep the gym busy.

Those Good Ol’ OMSI Days

By Nicole Vulcan

Meeting a jokester of a state geologist and more from the ‘50s and ‘60s

Wikimedia Commons

By Jim Anderson

31 Jim Anderson

Event will help the newly created Oregon Conservation & Recreation Fund get off the ground

A younger Jim Anderson, OMSI staff naturalist, stands outside the OMSI “Space Cruiser” of the 1960s.

I

n the mid-1950s I was working with Bob Couch cutting lodgepole on the west side of Newberry. One morning I fired up the old corn-binder, checked the tie-downs and was out on the logging road in minutes. When I pulled onto the main paved road, I’d be on my way to Hwy. 97 and then on to La Pine.

I was rounding the first turn, when, lo-and-behold, right in front of me was a passenger car parked right in the middle of the road!

I did some of the fanciest driving I’ve ever done to miss that car and went up into the trees, somehow avoiding every one of them before coming to a stop. I shook my head as I passed all the trees I’d missed, and just got madder and madder as I headed for that car, running around behind it and pulling up to the driver’s side, ready to eat the driver. As the window slowly came down, I looked at the driver and all the anger and frustration went out of me like a deflated balloon.

Seated in the driver’s seat was a skinny old guy who had to be 100. Right next to him was his thin-as-a-rail tiny wife. I was about to ask him what he was doing in the middle of the road, when he looked up at me out of his foggy old eyes, and said, “Have you seen Ralph Mason?”

I couldn’t believe it! “No sir,” I said, clutching the top of the window in a death grip. “I wouldn’t know Ralph Mason if he jumped up and bit me on the kneecap! Why is he so important?”

“Well, we’re out here on a Gee-socker weekend and Mr. Mason was showing us the geology of Newberry when we

lost him yesterday on a dusty road. I got turned around and now we don’t know where we are.”

I was dumbfounded. “You been out here all night?” I asked him. He sort of whispered yes, while his dear wife slowly nodded her head.

Turns out “Gee-sockers” are members of the Geological Society of the Oregon Country, and back in those days they often took field trips around the state with members of the Oregon Department of Geology and Minerals leading the trips.

I told them to follow me to Hwy. 97 where I’d turn left to head for La Pine, and they should go right to Bend.

But that’s not the end of this story…

In 1960 I went to work with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry as the staff naturalist, and was assigned to the Education Department, run by a most wonderful woman by the name of Dorothy Mason.

Yep, you guessed it, Dorothy’s husband was Ralph Mason, and he and I were scheduled to meet on a tour of the Columbia River lavas.

The best moment I ever spent with my new and dear pal, State Geologist Ralph Mason, was on the first trip he took me on with a group of high school kids to learn about the lava flows and Bretz/Missoula floods of the Columbia Gorge.

I was driving the museum’s old 22-passenger Ford bus OMSI named “The Space Cruiser,” headed for Hood River. As we approached the first crossing of the big overhead high-tension

lines coming from the Bonneville Power grid, Mason suddenly jumped out of his seat, grabbed the PA microphone and shouted, “Stop the bus! Stop the bus!”

I did, fearing something was bad wrong and pulled off the road.

“Now the reason I asked Mr. Anderson to stop is I wanted you to notice those big power lines held up by those huge towers.” And he went on…

“There are thousands of volts of electricity traveling in those huge wires, most of it going directly to California.”

He paused to make sure everyone was listening. “Now we’re going to have to travel under them as we go on to Hood River, and each time we pass under those powerful wires Mr. Anderson is going to slow the bus down to 22 miles per hour, and we all must wet our pointing finger and place it against the glass window on the side of the bus.”

I looked back at the kids and could see every one of them had licked his or her finger and was holding it against the glass.

I pulled back on the main road and as soon as we were up to the assigned 22 miles per hour, I wet my finger and placed it firmly against the window. We passed under the high-tension wires traveling at exactly 22 miles per hour, but nothing happened; absolutely nothing. I went on to the next wide spot, pulled off the highway, and as I did, Mason got out of his seat. He raised the microphone to his mouth, and with a slight grin, asked, “What, you didn’t feel the pane?”

In 2019, the Oregon Legislature passed a historic bill aimed at proactively restoring and protecting the state’s natural living resources. HB 2829—signed by Gov. Kate Brown in July—established the Oregon Conservation & Recreation Fund, which sets up a funding process that doesn’t rely only on hunting and fishing fees collected in the state.

But in order for the fund to do the work promised, it needs private financial support in the way of private donations. HB 2829 set aside $1 million in tax funds—but it has to be matched by $1 million in private funds

by June 30, 2021, in order for OCRF to get off the ground.

On Friday, people are invited to attend an event in support of the OCRF at Embark, Ruffwear’s co-working space on the west side of Bend.

Oregon’s First Gentleman Dan Little, along with Rep. Cheri Helt (R-Bend) and Rep. Ken Helm (D-Washington County) will speak at the event, demonstrating the bipartisan support the bill had in the Legislature last year.

The event includes craft beer, refreshments and networking with conservation and recreation leaders. The event is free—though a suggested donation will go toward the OCRF.

2020 Real Estate Market Forecast What lies ahead

average 2.5-month supply. Supply is projected to remain tight in 2020— hence the moderate pace of sales growth in the coming year.

Home prices are also forecast to rise. Much like home sales, prices are forecast to rise at a more moderate pace. Many experts, including Matthew Gardner, chief economist for Windermere Real Estate, forecast that home prices will increase about 3.8%.

He attributes this gain to the stability of low interest rates and more firsttime homebuyers entering the market.

Gardner also expects this growing number of first-time homebuyers to be a significant factor in the growth of the real estate market as a whole.

In the coming year, affordability will remain an issue, specifically in certain markets— Bend, Oregon being one of them. Year after year we’ve experienced significant increases in pricing.

Bend began to see a trend midsummer that pointed to more moderate pricing growth, indicative of the more moderate price growth in the coming year. In years past we’ve experienced a seller’s market; this trend of moderate price growth will help to bring it to a more neutral market, leading to a stable real estate market overall.

Things are looking good and it appears as though we’re going to experience another healthy and solid real estate market for 2020. This bodes well for both buyers and sellers. Cheers to the new year and new possibilities!

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 02 / JANUARY 9, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A

new month, new year and new decade is upon us. Resolutions have been made, goals have been set and the excitement for the adventures of 2020 abound. What lies ahead for the real estate market in 2020? While there is no proverbial “crystal ball” swirling with the answers of what’s to come, there are some key indicators of another strong year ahead.

A driving factor in predicting a strong real estate market in 2020 is mortgage rates. Experts at the National Association of Realtors, the Mortgage Bankers Association and Freddie Mac are all forecasting that mortgage rates will remain stable, hovering in the 3.85% range. Stability in interest rates creates more affordable lending options for buyers looking to purchase in the coming year. As history has demonstrated, we are in a time of record low lending options. As an example, the average rate in the 1980s was 12.7%, 1990s at 8.1% and 2000s at 6.62%. The Fed has indicated no hurry to make adjustments in 2020, as job gains have remained solid and the labor market in a strong position. All of this points to opportunity for buyers to step into the market.

Home sales are forecast to continue to rise but at a much more moderate pace. It’s been no secret that housing inventory has been an issue.

In 2019, Bend’s real estate inventory remained incredibly low, with an

Women are so mean. I’m the new girl at work, having started my job two weeks ago. Yesterday, I had a date after work, so I wore my date outfit to the office. It wasn’t scandalous, but it was a little sexier than my usual workwear.

I was in a bathroom stall, and I overheard two female co-workers talking about me: mean, nasty, catty talk. And really, my outfit was not terribly revealing. Why are women so awful to one another?

—Upset Imagine if there’d been three women in the Garden of Eden -one wearing a fig leaf a little on the small side and two to ostracize her for flirting with the snake.

Welcome to Putdownapalooza! This sort of catty little gossip fest is a female specialty -- an underhanded form of aggression against women who dare to commandeer male eyeballs.

For women, competition for mates is a beauty contest. (Sorry, but Miss Congeniality doesn’t cut it.) While it’s good to be a good-looking man, for men, appearance just doesn’t matter as much as it does for women. Because women get pregnant and left with mouths to feed, women evolved to prioritize finding a “provider” -- a man who’s willing and able to commit resources -- over landing some Mr. Adonis. Men know this, having co-evolved with women. They’re more likely to dis each other and also trash each other to the ladies over how much money they make than, say, how tight their pants are.

In short, if you’re an ugly millionaire, it’s best if you’re a man. However, if you’re a hot barista or pizza delivery person, you’ll still get plenty of dates -- if you’re a woman. Because men evolved to prioritize physical appearance in mates, women will band together to punish other women for wearing skimpy, revealing clothes or just for being physically attractive. Women seem to recognize that other women do this. Research by social psychologist Jaimie Arona Krems suggests that women tend to dress defensively -- wear less revealing clothes and dampen their attractiveness -- when they’ll be around other women that they aren’t already friends with.

Prior research (by psychologist Joyce Benenson, among others) finds that girls and women tend to be vicious to newcomers in a way boys and men are not. For women, there generally seem to be “costs from incorporating a female newcomer,” Krems explained to me. The women we already know -“even those we can have some conflict

with -- may be less competitive with us.

At times, their gains can be our gains.

And very often, female friends protect one another” -- sometimes from other women’s aggression. “In fact, we might even dress a little more revealingly ... when we’re with our female friends than when we’re heading out alone ... perhaps because our friends have our backs.”

As for you, knowing this, when you’re going to be around women you aren’t yet friends with, you might want to take it down a notch in sexy or wait till you’re leaving work to slinky it up. Remember, as Michelle Obama said, “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish” -- for example, hacking into Amy Alkon the new office hottie’s LinkedIn and promoting her to “Vice President of Lap Dances.”

Loathe Actually

I’m a gay man, and I’ve developed a crush on my best friend, despite his not being my type at all. He’s very confident, and I kind of want to be him. I have many insecurities, and a mutual friend suggested what I really find attractive is how my best friend knows everything about me and accepts me anyway. The more I think about it, the more I suspect our mutual friend is right.

—Wrong Reasons?

Ideally, the process of feeling good about yourself is not modeled on siphoning somebody’s gas.

There’s a key word in “self-acceptance” -- a big how-to clue -- and it’s “self.” Self-acceptance involves your embracing your whole self -- all of your qualities and characteristics, positive and negative. Psychologist Nathaniel Branden explained, “‘Accepting’ does not necessarily mean ‘liking’” or that there’s no need for improvement. It means recognizing you’re a package deal, and you can’t have the good stuff about you (like, say, your kindness) without the stuff that needs improvement (like how your housekeeping style is right out of Better Landfills and Dumpsters).

To crank up self-acceptance, recognize that it’s not just a feeling but an action -something you do: deciding to like yourself (and even love yourself) as a human work in progress. When you do the job of accepting yourself, you no longer need to slot somebody in as a romantic partner simply because they don’t find you repellant. (If the neighbors file a complaint about the noise from your bedroom, it ideally isn’t because you spend hours weeping inconsolably after sex.)

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In a poem titled “The Mess-iah,” spiritual teacher Jeff Foster counsels us, “Fall in love with the mess of your life . . . the wild, uncontrollable, unplanned, unexpected moments of existence. Dignify the mess with your loving attention, your gratitude. Because if you love the mess enough, you will become a Mess-iah.” I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, because I suspect you’ll have a better chance to ascend to the role of Mess-iah in the coming weeks and months than you have had in many years.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Comedian John Cleese believes that “sometimes we hang onto people or relationships long after they’ve ceased to be of any use to either of you.” That’s why he has chosen to live in such a way that his web of alliances is constantly evolving. “I’m always meeting new people,” he says, “and my list of friends seems to change quite a bit.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Pisces, 2020 will be a propitious year for you to experiment with Cleese’s approach. You’ll have the chance to meet a greater number of interesting new people in the coming months than you have in a long time. (And don’t be afraid to phase out connections that have become a drain.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When comedian John Cleese was 61, his mother died. She was 101.

Cleese testifies, “Just towards the end, as she began to run out of energy, she did actually stop trying to tell me what to do most of the time.” I bet you’ll experience a similar phenomenon in 2020— only bigger and better. I bet that fewer people will try to tell you what to do than at any previous time of your life. As a result, you’ll be freer to be yourself exactly as you want to be. You’ll have unprecedented power to express your uniqueness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Renowned Taurus philosopher Bertrand Russell was sent to jail in 1918 because of his pacifism and anti-war activism. He liked being there. “I found prison in many ways quite agreeable,” he said. “I had no engagements, no difficult decisions to make, no fear of callers, no interruptions to my work. I read enormously; I wrote a book.” The book he produced, Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy, is today regarded as a classic. In 2020, I would love to see you Tauruses cave out an equally luxurious sabbatical without having to go through the inconvenience of being incarcerated. I’m confident you can do this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s common to feel attracted to people because of the way they look and dress and carry themselves. But here’s the problem: If you pursue an actual connection with someone whose appearance you like, there’s no guarantee it will turn out to be interesting and meaningful. That’s because the most important factor in becoming close to someone is not their cute face or body or style, but rather their ability to converse with you in ways you find interesting. And that’s a relatively rare phenomenon.

As philosopher Mortimer Adler observed, “Love without conversation is impossible.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, Gemini, because I believe that in 2020 you could have some of the best conversations you’ve ever had—and as a result experience the richest intimacy.

OREGONWINTERFEST.COM

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mystic poet Rumi told us the kind of person he was attracted to. “I want a trouble-maker for a lover,” he wrote. “Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, who burns like fire on the rushing sea.” In response to that testimony, I say, “Boo! Ugh! Yuck!” I say “To hell with being in an intimate relationship with a trouble-maker who fights with fate and quarrels with the sky.” I can’t imagine any bond that would be more unpleasant and serve me worse. What about you, Cancerian? Do you find Rumi’s definition glamorous and romantic? I hope not. If you do, I advise you to consider changing your mind. 2020 will be an excellent time to be precise in articulating the kinds of alliances that are healthy for you. They shouldn’t resemble Rumi’s description. (Rumi translation by Zara Houshmand.)

35 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 02 / JANUARY 9, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s get 2020 started with a proper send-off. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming months will bring you opportunities to achieve a host of liberations. Among the things from which you could be at least partially emancipated: stale old suffering; shrunken expectations; people who don’t appreciate you for who you really are; and beliefs and theories that don’t serve you any more.

(There may be others!) Here’s an inspirational maxim, courtesy of poet Mary Oliver: “Said the river: imagine everything you can imagine, then keep on going.”

FEBRUARY 14TH-16TH 2020

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The 18th-century comic novel Tristram Shandy is still being translated, adapted, and published today. Its popularity persists. Likewise, the 18th-century novel Moll Flanders, which features a rowdy, eccentric heroine who was unusual for her era, has had modern incarnations in TV, film, and radio. Then there’s the 19th-century satirical novel Vanity Fair. It’s considered a classic even now, and appears on lists of best-loved books. The authors of these three books had one thing in common: They had to pay to have their books published.

No authority in the book business had any faith in them. You may have similar challenges in 2020, Leo—and rise to the occasion with equally good results. Believe in yourself!

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): I’ll present two possible scenarios that could unfold for you in 2020. Which scenario actually occurs will depend on how willing you are to transform yourself. Scenario #1.

Love is awake, and you’re asleep. Love is ready for you but you’re not ready for love. Love is hard to recognize because you think it still looks like it did in the past. Love changed its name, and you didn’t notice. Scenario #2. Love is awake and you’re waking up. Love is ready for you and you’re making yourself ready for love. Love is older and wiser now, and you recognize its new guise. Love changed its name, and you found out. (Thanks to Sarah and Phil Kaye for the inspiration for this horoscope.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Renowned Greek sculptor Praxiteles created some famous and beloved statues in the fourth century B.C. One of his pieces, showing the gods Hermes and Dionysus, was displayed inside the Temple of Hera in Olympia. But a few centuries later an earthquake demolished the Temple and buried the statue. There it remained until 1877, when archaeologists dug it out of the rubble. I foresee a metaphorically equivalent recovery in your life, Libra—especially if you’re willing to excavate an old mess or investigate a debris field or explore a faded ruin.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Over a period of

74 years, the Scorpio philosopher and author Voltaire (1694–1778) wrote so many letters to so many people that they were eventually published in a series of 98 books, plus nine additional volumes of appendixes and indexes. I would love to see you communicate that abundantly and meticulously in 2020, Scorpio. The cosmic rhythms will be inclined to bring you good fortune if you do.

NAUGHTY

BY NATURE

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Picasso was

JEMERE MORGAN

one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. He was also the richest. At the end of his life, experts estimate his worth was as much as $250 million, equivalent to $1.3 billion today. But in his earlier adulthood, while Picasso was turning himself into a genius and creating his early masterpieces, he lived and worked in a small, seedy, unheated room with no running water and a toilet he shared with twenty people. If there will be ever in your life be a semblance of Picasso’s financial transformation, Sagittarius, I’m guessing it would begin this year.
