Recently we reported on Bend getting national recognition (not unusual)—this time, for being the #1 city in which to get fit. With that designation, we know that many of our readers are already well-apprised about the basics of nutrition and exercise and fitting those things into busy schedules. I’m guessing our close proximity to many indoor and outdoor playgrounds doesn’t hurt either!

So for our Fit Week/Winter Health issue, we asked ourselves, what can we offer a town that’s already so fit? Some topics not on the proverbial beaten path, we figured. This week’s Feature page aims to touch on a few lesser-known methods of getting active. Our Chow story discusses the supplements and foods that might not be all they’re cracked up to be when it comes to winter health. And in our Sound section, we offer a locally curated running playlist to give you runners some new inspiration. Locals are already pretty awesome when it comes to health and fitness—but we hope this gives you some new food for thought!

ast week, the Bend City Council initially voted in favor of putting the smaller of two proposed transportation bond packages before voters during the May election, aiming to tackle some of the most pressing and overdue transportation-related problems in Bend.

While the Council still has another vote before them before voters would see that bond package on the ballot, all signs point toward it moving forward. This bond is needed. Voters should continue to support efforts that address not just traffic-related issues, but also efforts to make getting around without a car safer.

But even if that bond passes, so much more work will need to be done to see Bend being a city where people can feasibly use any number of types of transportation to get around various parts of the city—especially the parts of the city where growth is going to happen. As land continues to come at a premium cost, more housing and services are pushed outward, toward the existing city boundaries and even toward the edges of Bend’s Urban Growth Boundary.

So even if voters approve this transportation bond to fix current problems, they need to continue to look ahead to see the next sticking points—and to be ready to pay for them.

This is highlighted this week by the Deschutes Public Library’s announcement that it has identified a tract of land on Highway 20, just west of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s office, where it could potentially site its new Central Library complex—also slated to include a performing arts center. Adding that type of facility to serve all of Deschutes County is an exciting prospect, albeit one that voters will have to show support for before DPL can build.

In its Jan. 8 release, DPL Board President Ann Malkin wrote, “The location meets all of our top criteria. It is easily accessible from all areas of the county, highly visible and centrally located near neighborhoods, schools, shopping and other important services.” Library Director Todd Dunkelberg told the Source that he sees DPL being a trailblazer, of sorts, in siting its new location in an area that currently is not highly developed. Since

the site is outside the current City of Bend boundary but inside the UGB, Dunkelberg said there are, “decisions we have to make around zoning, transportation, roads.”

All that trailblazing is going to need broad community support, and a number of pieces will need to fall into place: -Voters will need to share what elements of the new library they want the most (such as a performing arts center), and then approve a bond to build the library.

-Citizens will need to tell the City of Bend it wants to prioritize multi-modal transit in the area, and the City will need to respond. One option would be to extend Robal Road toward O.B. Riley Road, where those on foot or bikes may have an easier time accessing the site. As Dunkelberg told the Source, they know the current site is, “not the most bike friendly spot,” but that DPL would continue to operate its downtown location.

-Cascades East Transit will need to alter its routes to get to the new site.

The bottom line: creating a community that prioritizes safe access to some of its most important cultural sites is complicated, and it requires looking not just at the current transportation bond package that will likely be put before us this May, but also looking way ahead, at what growth looks like in the next five, 10 and 20 years.

Bendites did this when they participated in the Bend 2030 visioning process. Now, a process for the next 30 years, called Vision 2050, has gotten underway.

While multi-modal transportation was addressed in that last process, it’s not a fix-it-and-forget-it kind of thing. Growing cities have growing needs. As projects move outward, so too should our vision of where and when we plan for solid transportation options for all.

DPL has its next round of public input sessions happening Thursday, Jan. 30 at noon at the Downtown Library, and at 5 pm at 10 Barrel East. We have no doubt that after all the public input that DPL has and continues to get around its future plans, they’ll make every effort to listen to that input and respond. But it’s up to people to participate in that process, so that they have something to which to respond.

RE: “POVERTY WITH A VIEW?” 1/9

I lived there for 30 years. We left last year because things have gotten ridiculously expensive, as well as the traffic, the huge growth. It costs way too much and is no longer fun to live there. Living there has become stressful with everyone having their own agendas, wanting to control the others and no one seems to listen to the old timers, so now the city and the newcomers have really diminished the quality of life. It is just another big city that is out of control.

their endless unholy skatalogical homilies. But facts are facts and will not disappear no matter how much din and dung and misinformation Trump and the fossil fuel snake oil peddlers try to heap upon them.

It’s pathetic that while most of Florida’s politicos are fossil fuel lackeys, the mayor of Miami Beach has to keep raising taxes on his citizens to pay for the cost of pumping out the rising sea levels that keep backwashing onto the streets through the city’s drainage system, and the costly construction to raise the levels of those streets in the face of the advancing floods that happen daily in bright, dry, sunny weather.

The cost for these climate change necessitated endeavors over the past some years is fast approaching a billion dollars, all strapped to the backs of Miami Beach residents.

The mayor of Miami Beach says all those fool idiot clowns and prophets of climate change denial, like the clown fool in chief, should “take a trip to South Florida and see climate change happening before their eyes in real time.” But like the man said, “you can show a fool the truth, but you can’t make him see.”

Perhaps when the King of Fools’ Great Florida Goons and Gators Hotel washes out to sea he might finally get the message. But probably not. Meanwhile he and the other lying scumbags lead us and the planet headlong down the hothouse highway to perditional oblivion.

By the time Jim Anderson, 1960’s OMSI naturalist and bus driver, follows Mason’s instruction to drive 22 mph and wet his pointy finger to stick on the bus window, along with every high school kid in that bus, I was very curious. Thank you, Jim Anderson, thank you, The Source for giving us weekly natural world information to motivate us for various planet causes. And for providing chances to very easily laugh and thus maintain some sort of balance. I will carry on while yet remembering the Canadian Iranians, and all the others who died over Iran in the tragic air disaster.

Wealth distribution wouldn’t reduce incentives to innovate at all.

It would give us lower class a chance to innovate. I own a small business.

Without being able to purchase property at (a) reasonable rate, I’m forced to shut my doors. And renting is unreasonable (sic) here too. I get people are proud of their stuff but Bend and surrounding areas have taken it too far into greed. Take Sisters for example. A shack, with no running water, no heating, and a roof with tarps on it because boards are missing and it’s not roofed was being rented for 800 a month for someone to live in. That’s outrageous! That’s not right! And it’s not OK! You want affordable housing out here you better age quickly because the only affordable housing happening is for seniors.

Is Oregon ready for single-payer health care?

Medicare for Us

By Laurel Brauns

O

regonians could see universal health care in the coming years, regardless of what happens at the federal level.

The state has made significant progress over the last decade ensuring access to health care through Medicaid expansion. With a democratic supermajority in Oregon’s legislature, and strong support among voters, it could become one of the first states in the U.S. to implement a single-payer system. This means health care would be managed by the state and paid for through taxes.

and members of the public—will design recommendations for a Health Care for All Oregon Plan. If passed, it could be phased in as early as 2021.

David Stranahan, a local activist with the group Health Care for All Oregon for over a decade, explained: “We are advocating for a plan that would work like Canada’s,” he said.

“Medicare for All first started in Saskatchewan in 1962, ahead of all the other Canadian provinces. There was lots of opposition, a doctor’s strike

We are advocating for a plan that would work like Canada’s. Medicare for All first started in Saskatchewan, ahead of all the other Canadian provinces. There was lots of opposition, a doctor’s strike and the American Medical Association even got involved, but the they succeeded because they started small and stayed strong.

-David Stranahan In 2013, the state commissioned the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit global policy think tank, to find out how much a Medicare for All program would cost. This year, the Task Force on Universal Health Care—which includes state legislators

Our story began in the

Rural library services in the 1920s brought books and community to residents in Bend, La Pine, Redmond, Sisters and Tumalo. In 1921, the library’s 4,191 books circulated to approximately 2,000 borrowers, a significant portion of Deschutes County’s population at the time.

and the American Medical Association even got involved, but they succeeded because they started small and stayed strong. I believe each state is going to be successful before a national plan goes forward.”

Within 10 years of Saskatchewan’s move to single-payer health insurance managed by the government, all of Canada had made the switch.

Is Oregon ready for a single-payer system? Would cutting insurance companies out of the picture save money, or would it force hospitals out of business?

The Source Weekly talked to some local experts about how universal health care in Oregon might shake out.

Health care in Oregon today In 2010, about one in six Oregonians didn’t have health insurance.

Today, 94% of people who live in the state are covered, and almost 100% of children are insured, according to a 2018 report by Gov. Kate Brown.

Twenty-five percent receive health insurance through Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan), and 73% of people who buy private health insurance on the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace receive federal assistance, reducing premiums by an average of 70%, according to the same report.

Oregon’s leaders ambitiously embraced the Affordable Care Act and expanded Medicaid services to anyone who made 133% of the poverty level or less, rolling this into the Oregon Health Plan. They helped support the creation of public/nonprofit partnerships around the state to manage the program. PacificSource Community Solutions coordinates Medicaid in Central Oregon, for example.

Today, 86% of Oregonians are

“satisfied” with their health insurance, according to 2019 survey by Elway Research. But 81% said the increasing cost of health care to individuals, governments and businesses is a “major problem.”

While more Oregonians are covered today than before the ACA, three out of four Oregonians in the Elway Research survey said they desired a universal health care system instead of the current one. Two-thirds said they would consider higher taxes to pay for it.

Single payer in Oregon The state Task Force on Universal Health Care will evaluate a system that would likely be funded through a combination of a tax paid by employers, federal funding, an increase in state income tax and a 10% reduction in the amount paid out to doctors and hospitals. Early calculations by the RAND Corporation estimate that a state-run health care system in Oregon would save $1 billion a year in total costs. The major hurdles to feasibility of a single-payer plan include federal approval for the state to take over the management of all Medicare and Medicaid dollars, as well as certain federal laws protecting an employer’s right to offer health insurance as a benefit. Oregon would be the first state to make this kind of a request, but according to task force member Rep. Marty Wilde (D-Eugene), the group plans to work closely with Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley to overcome these challenges.

St. Charles Health System, like most other hospitals around the state, saw profits go up after the ACA, since more Oregonians were covered. This reduced bad debts, according to Jennifer Welander, chief financial officer at St. Charles.

Today those gains are being eroded by high deductibles that even those with good insurance and stable incomes sometimes cannot afford, she said.

“If everything was paid at the current Medicare level, that would be

St. Charles Health System saw profits go up after the Affordable Care Act was implemented because more people in Central Oregon were covered through the Oregon Health Plan and subsidized insurance. Today, profits are being eroded by the high deductibles charged by insurance companies that the hospital’s patients are unable to pay, according to Jennifer Welander, chief financial officer at St. Charles.

He understands the industry from both inside an insurance company and inside a government-funded nonprofit. He

preventable through earlier interventions—visits to the emergency department, for example. Stevens is optimistic that because the state has already had so much success implementing the public/

nonprofit partnerships that manage Medicaid, moving toward a program that’s less expensive and covers more people could be a positive thing.

“We’re not at the point that we see this as an existential threat,” Stevens said. “Michael Becker, our VP of government relations is likely going to serve on the (Universal Health Care) task force.

“What is great about this region is that we are able to work together. All of the major players—PacificSource, St. Charles—everybody knows that we are all a part of the problem and that we can’t fix it alone. We all know we’re too expensive. Lowering costs is a shared goal, so the conversations are much more productive.”

PacificSource made $14 million in profits in 2018, and paid its CEO Ken

Provencher $875,000 that same year, according to the Lund Report, an Oregon health news media outlet.

It is not yet clear how government agencies would operate together under a single-payer system in Oregon, but part of what the task force will be working on over the next year is establishing a Health Care for All Oregon board to work through the details.

Gov. Brown will appoint 13 members of the public to the Task Force on Universal Health Care in February, and the deadline has passed to apply. The group will conduct public hearings around the state this year where people in communities around Oregon will have the opportunity to testify.

transformational and detrimental,” Welander said. “The way we explain it is there are three types of payers. If you take $1 of medical cost, Medicare pays 70% of our cost, Medicaid pays 50% and commercial insurance pays 170%. They balance out together. We’re a nonprofit that operates at very thin margins. We have a 3% operating margin.”

One of the major critiques of the ACA by advocates of Health Care for All Oregon, like Stranahan, is that it delivered huge profits to health insurance companies. Nationwide, these companies earned $23.4 billion in profits in 2018, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

While hospitals and insurance companies often say the other is to blame for rising costs, Welander has another theory of the case.

“The U.S. as a country has very poor health,” she said. “We have obesity and diabetes. This is what is really driving up the cost…. The cost of health care is a reflection of the demand of people who use it.”

Water polo is increasing in popularity nationwide.

The trend continues in Central Oregon, with exponential growth in club participation

By Nicole Vulcan

“I

t’s the best game in the world.”

That’s how Chris Perret, executive director of the Bend Waves Water Polo Club, describes the game— one he’s been actively involved in since playing for the University of California San Diego from 1981 to ‘85.

Today, water polo is ranked among the fastest-growing sports in the nation for high school kids. According to a study released by the National Federation of State High School Associations, girls’ water polo tied for third place as the fastest-growing high school sport, growing by 18% from 2008-09 to 2018-19. Among boys, participation increased by 8.8% during that same time period and was the eighth-fastest growing sport.

It’s fitting that one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation would also be seeing participation in the sport rise sharply. Perret estimates the club’s numbers are growing by about 20% year over year. Launched in 2012, Bend Waves had about 65 kids participating in 2017, Perret said. In 2019, it was 125.

With practice sessions for the spring season beginning Feb. 24, Perret expects even more kids to show up this year.

And with Bend Park and Recreation District on track to open a new 5,000-square-foot pool at the expanded Larkspur Community Center in southeast Bend this fall, the club—and other citywide aquatic programs—could see practice schedules expand accordingly.

Water polo is roughly “a cross between soccer and basketball,” but played in the water, Perret told the Source. Players—six “field” players on each team, plus a goalie—can’t touch the bottom of the pool, and thus must

toss the ball one-handed while treading water or otherwise staying afloat. If that sounds tough, it is—but players say that’s what they love about it.

“I have played a lot of sports over the years and this continues to be my favorite,” said Manhattan Wood, 15, of Bend, who’s played water polo for two years.

“It’s very challenging and it takes a very competitive and spirited personality, for it can get very aggressive; but I can’t begin to describe the feeling of scoring the game point goal.”

While local high school teams compete in the fall, spring is club season. Bend Waves players travel region-wide to compete, but for beginners, the club offers a number of entry points, including its three-week “splashball” sessions where kids age 6 and up can learn to play. The club also has a presence in Redmond and Madras. With an “everyone is welcome” policy, kids can also try out the sport at a practice session and join any time.

BPRD also holds novice water polo workshops, including an upcoming one for kids in 9th grade and up beginning March 2. Scholarships are available for both Bend Waves and BPRD programs.

And for the adults looking to take part in water polo, Perret says he has his sights set on creating a Masters’ club in Central Oregon. For now, though, he points to the adult drop-in sessions held Sundays at 4pm at Juniper Swim & Fitness, as well as the Friday all-ages open, rotating practices organized by Bend Waves.

Whatever winter brings, geocaching offers a way to explore new places

By Laurel Brauns

T

he sport of geocaching challenges people with a GPS (or the right app on their smartphones) to get out and explore places they may never go otherwise. Geocachers hide “treasures” or caches at specific coordinates in untracked areas of the woods or in obvious urban locations like the Deschutes Public Library. Using a mix of clues and GPS coordinates, people search for small, waterproof boxes containing a log book to sign, and perhaps a small toy that can be traded out for another souvenir.

The website geocaching.com lists hundreds of geocaches in Central Oregon. The sport is popular around the world as a way for both travelers and locals to get off the trail, discover new places and connect with other geocachers who have fun setting up clues and challenges. There is a geocache in Bend that can be found only at night by following a series of reflective cougar

eyes posted at different points leading to the cache, for example.

Courtney Braun, who’s been leading the “GPS Eco-Challenge” for Wanderlust Tours for the past eight years, understands why some wilderness purists may see the sport as not adhering to “leave no trace” principles, since a typical recreational cache is a Tupperware container or ammunition can permanently hidden under a bush or a tree. But tour guides for Wanderlust place their treasures or clues in the woods directly before their tours and pick them up after, so there is less impact, she said.

“It’s a popular way to get outside and come together as a group. You can investigate an area that you probably wouldn’t have decided to just go hike around because there are no trails,” Braun said. “The groups are navigating through amazing places to get to the way point.”

Skinny Skis and Spandex For ski mountaineers, going up makes going down all the more fun

By Graham Zimmerman

A

large group of men, women and enthusiastic kids stands around in spandex near the base of the Red Chair at Mt. Bachelor. They wear ultralight, oftentimes carbon fiber boots.

Their skis are skinny and made more for uphill travel than downhill turns.

It looks like the start of a skate skiing race, but they’re on the wrong side of the parking lot and the equipment isn’t quite right. What’s going on here?

This is “Ski-Mo Racing.”

To find out more about this high endurance winter sport, I sat down with Barry Wicks, local professional mountain biker, avid skier and the manager of the Crow’s Feet SkiMo Race team, to learn more about this sport. “‘Ski Mo’ is the shorthand of ski mountaineering. It is climbing mountains and skiing back down. Racing is just doing that fast against other people,” he shared, his wide grin showing enthusiasm toward the hyper-specific application of the skiing discipline. “In

short,” he says, “it is the spandex version of backcountry skiing.”

He shared that the sport can be as simple as skinning fast laps on Mt Bachelor’s designated uphill routes or actually signing up for races. Ski mo enthusiasts can look forward to an upcoming race, taking place Feb. 29, put on by the Central Oregon Avalanche Center as part of the Vert Fest event. The planned route will ski laps up “The Cone” and to the Pine Marten Lodge (or, possibly the summit if the weather is good). The race will offer various categories including elite splitboard and ski, recreational splitboard and ski, rookie rally and junior. For more details, check out the COAC website or head into Crow’s Feet.

lenty of kids want to grow up and become professional athletes: to be masters of their craft and at the top of their game. But what if your craft includes a controller and joystick? Nowadays, becoming a professional gamer is more viable than ever.

Just ask Dayne “OneWildWalnut” Downey, the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NBA 2K League Draft.

“I realized I could transition my gaming into a professional career as soon as Adam Silver and Brendan Donohue announced the NBA 2K League,” said Downey, via Twitter.

“I knew I had the skills to be in the league and just needed to give it my full effort.”

The NBA 2K League is a joint venture between the NBA and Take-Two interactive. At its inception, the 2K League was the first esports league actually operated by a professional sports organization in the U.S. It’s the real deal— fans can watch these games live on Twitch or YouTube and can buy gear to support their squad. Being as heavily involved in Trail Blazers Twitter as I am, I can see that the love for Blazer5 Gaming throughout the Portland fanbase is no joke: Downey earned MVP and Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2018, and his teammate, Nidal “Mama Im Dat Man” Nasser, went on to win MVP in 2019.

“Being the inaugural MVP and DPOY was a huge blessing in my life,” Downey said. “It showed everyone that I deserved to be in this league and that I’m here to stay and be one of the league’s top players for years to come. From these awards, a lot of doors have opened up for me

and I am taking full advantage of it.”

For some, it might seem weird to celebrate someone’s skills at a video game, but there’s actually a lot more that goes into becoming an elite gamer than just pushing buttons.

“In the NBA 2K League, each team must co-exist,” Downey said. “There are six people on each team and we all live together in the city of the team we got drafted by. Just like real sports, we have to work together to be on top of our game. We scrimmage each week as a team and fly to New York to compete in the studio that we play in. There is a lot of preparation involved—scrimmage blocks, game planning, and film sessions.”

In 2020, more kids may try to pursue a career in the video game field. There are plenty of colleges offering esports programs and scholarships to play. Even the University of Oregon is ramping up its new esports program this year with the addition of its new gaming lounge.

“For younger people considering an esports path I would say this: Keep your options open,” Downey advised.

“Don’t be reliant on being an esports player. Put your full effort into doing what you want to do but always have a backup plan or two. I was in school and playing college basketball at the time I was trying out for the league. If I didn’t make it, I was still on a path to transfer to a four-year college. But I gave my full effort to something I love to do and it has paid off. So, go for it and give it your all. Esports is here to stay and is growing each and every year.”

For Fit Week, check this playlist by, and for, Central Oregon runners

hen setting out for a run, no matter the distance, many people turn to music as their companion. It gives the body adrenaline to keep pushing and even helps distract from the pain or the number of miles left ahead.

When I run, I like to have a mix with a variety of genres and tempos.

You don’t want all of the songs to get you so pumped that you end up gassing out right away—it’s all about finding that nice balance for what you need and for the distance you’re planning to run. With so many runners and music lovers here in Central Oregon, I wanted to see what the community was listening to—so I reached out to runners in the area via email (and also the @sourceweekly Instagram feed) to build a playlist that everyone can use.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the songs that local runners reported loving. Find the full playlist on our Spotify profile.

Ian Sharman, Head Coach at Sharman Ultra, two-time USATF 100-mile trail champion “Funky Shit” – The Prodigy “Elekrobank” - The Chemical Brothers Eric Heinemann, Leadville Series Finisher “When I Feel the Sea Beneath My Soul” – Taj Mahal

“River of Lost Souls”

Bend band Justusworx releases a new album and plans a release party

By Isaac Biehl

“W

e’re all old guys,” Mike Ogden explained recently, when he dropped off a CD—Justusworx' latest album. Age in music isn’t a bad thing because that usually means experience. With “River of Lost Souls,” you can tell the music is being made by veterans of blues rock.

There are roaring guitar solos, a steady stream of drums and the classic tales of heartbreak, love and thrills throughout the 10-track album. In addition to Ogden, the band is made up of Bud Munson on vocals/percussion, Charlie Ewing on drums, Ed Criss on seven-string bass and Mike Ayers on keyboards.

To celebrate the release of the group’s new album, Justusworx will hold a release party at River’s Place this Saturday.

“We are super excited for this album to finally be out and to be playing the entirety for the release party at River’s Place. A lot of work for the last year has been put into this album,” Ogden told the Source. “From overdubbing the vocals

and harmonies, to harmonizing leads and keyboards, mixing and mastering, all with the incredible help and talent of Soundsmith Studio’s Clay Smith right here in Bend. It’s amazing what talent we have right here in Central Oregon.”

One of my favorite moments on the album is the breakdown at the 3:40 mark of “Honey Bee.” It’s a smooth groove that runs until about 5:28 of the song, prominently featuring an awesome run of keys. Ogden has his own favorites on the album as well.

“The songs that are my favorites on this album are “Love’s Gonna,” a syncopated blues rock tune, and “High Class Woman,” a tongue-firmly-planted-incheek funk song, to “Truth to Power.”

I couldn’t help writing a song like this considering what’s happening these days,” said Ogden.

Synergie Cellulite Reduction

When you’re young, connective tissue, made up largely of collagen, holds fat in. As you age, fat begins to stick out through the tissue which causes a dimpled, lumpy appearance on the skin. It’s like a net, if the fibers are too loose or too tight, the fat can poke out through the holes.

When cellulite shows up and how visible it is are thought to be influenced by hormones, genetics and age. Unfortunately, there is nothing a person can do to avoid getting it to some degree. Procedures such as liposuction can worsen the appearance.

Synergie is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment for cellulite, which has been approved by the FDA (unlike many other cellulite products on the market). In 1998, a clinical study confirmed the efficacy of Synergie with 91% of patients noting significant reduction in cellulite. These results have remained consistent since then, with thousands of satisfied patients nationwide.

It is also soothing and relaxing without the discomfort of extreme temperature changes to the skin and surrounding tissue. Most importantly, it is extremely effective.

Synergie treatments are administered with the Aesthetic Massage System. This unique vacuum massage physically manipulates collagen fibers and connective tissue while increasing local blood circulation. This FDA approved technology stimulates subcutaneous tissues which can change the fat content of cells; eliminating excess fat and toxins through the lymphatic system. Synergie cellulite treatments dramatically tone and tighten skin, resulting in smoother texture and reduction in appearance of cellulite. There are also many health benefits to increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage massage.

Areas best improved with Synergie are buttocks, thighs, legs and stomach. Following the completion of treatment, most patients report a reduction in size around the hips, stomach, thighs and arms; as well as noticeable weight loss. Synergie can also tighten loose skin and reduce wrinkles on the face.

Not all of us want to wear “short shorts”, but it is amazing to feel great in your skin — no matter the season or the outfit!

Call or text (916) 496-4320 to schedule a consultation and customized package to feel your best!

Find the perfect wedding day outfit during our fashion shows

Finding that perfect dress or suit can be a daunting task. Couples will search high and low, day in and day out, looking for the right style to fit their wedding aesthetic.

We want to help and make that search easier (and quicker) by hosting two fashion shows throughout the day to give you an abundance of ideas to help dress up your wedding day.

At 11:30am, Cordially Invited will take over the Cascades Wedding Show stage and present a variety of outfits for your wedding day—and at 1:30pm Bend Wedding and Formal Wear will begin to showcase more stunning looks right before your eyes.

Attendees will get to see a little bit of everything—wedding dresses that give new meaning to the word elegant, and even some toned-down dresses for the more casual bride. There will be plenty of menswear, bridesmaid dresses and even some looks for the flower girl or ring bearer. With these fashion shows you’ll be able to style your whole wedding from top to bottom, in a way that is uniquely yours!

Let Cordially Invited and Bend Wedding & Formal inspire the perfect look for your wedding day.

men. “It relates men’s mental health to taking care of a car,” explained King. “What do you do when you’re in the midst of a car breakdown? You call for help. You go to a mechanic. Same concept applies.”

“Mental health is stigmatized across the board, but there’s a separate stigma attached to suicide,” King said.

“Especially when it comes to men.

Men are killing themselves at a higher rate than ever before. Because of toxic

masculinity and what most men learn from an early age, ‘big boys don’t cry,’ they’re far less likely to take care of health concerns than their female counterparts. Men aren’t prone to thinking, ‘I’m depressed.’ Eight out of 10 suicides in the U.S. are completed by men aged 45-54.” He explained that construction workers have the highest rate of suicide than any other occupation, largely due to the ‘tough guy’ mentality. “They self-medicate when they’re sad,” he said.

Outrage Art Collective seeks artists to join new collective on Bend’s east side

New Artists’ Space Opening

ith so many art spaces closing in Bend in the last year, a little silver lining has emerged. A new space, Outrage Art Collective, is opening for artists to share workspace.

Brent and Jasmine Barnett are behind the project. Jasmine is the community coordinator for the Central Oregon Arts and Culture Alliance and Brent owns his own production house, Future Filmworks. The husband and wife team was

“They drink, they use drugs… they aren’t prone to seeking help.”

Several organizations have been established to make sharing and seeking support more acceptable. The Men’s Sheds Association, for example—which lists an Oregon chapter based in Portland— gives men a safe space to open up with one another while engaging in traditionally male activities, like building things and talking shop. The goal is to combat the social isolation and resulting feelings of depression so common amongst middle-aged men. “It’s been found that if men aren’t looking one another in the eye, they’ll talk about anything,” King added.

“When men are engaged in some activity together, like a dart tournament, they tend to be more forthcoming about things that are important. They’re more likely to accept advice from another man.

“After I realized that I was making an impact on people’s lives—actually helping them—I thought, ‘Well shoot, now I can’t kill myself.’ There might be someone at a presentation that hears what I have to say, and thinks ‘Wow, I’m really not alone, and I can overcome this.’

If I killed myself, those people wouldn’t have the hope they have otherwise. I couldn’t die knowing that,” King said.

If you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts, help is available. Reach out to the Deschutes County 24-Hour Crisis Line: 541-322-7500 ext. #9.

saddened to see 9th Street Gallery close and the lack of spaces for artists, so they turned an opportunity for themselves into something larger for the community.

Future Filmworks was growing and Brent needed a new space to house his office. When looking for spaces, the

Barnetts began to consider renting a larger space they would be able to share with others. And it seemed to work out.

They’re set to open the new space in February and are looking for artist tenants.

The space can host seven to nine artists, depending on the artists’ needs.

Spaces will be 6 feet by 6 feet, or 6 by 12, but can be modified if needed and cost between $100 and $200 per month.

While the space doesn’t have a retail component new space, the Barnetts do have bigger plans, including offering a room that people can rent by the hour— intended to be used by people who have a bigger project they need to work on for a few hours but don’t have the space themselves. Outrage will also make the space available to rent for events, and they’re also offering it as a rehearsal space for a local youth drag group.

The Barnetts’ lease will start Feb. 1 and they’re currently seeking artists who want to jump in and create a new inspired collective space with them.

n the U.S., one person dies by suicide every 11 minutes, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Frank King, “The Mental Health Comedian,” has been familiar with suicide from an early age, having found his great-aunt after she killed herself when he was just four years old.

Later, when he filed for bankruptcy in 2010, he felt a crushing and overwhelming sense of hopelessness.

“I took out a $1 million life insurance policy,” he explained. “But I had to wait two months until I could kill myself.”

Fortunately, those two months of self-reflection made a world of difference.

After reading Judy Carter’s book, “The Message of You: Get Paid to Speak,” King began sharing his message professionally, using “comedy to captivate crowds.” During his first TedX Talk in 2014, King “came out” as suicidal and depressed. He quickly realized that there was a dire need for this conversation, based on the response he received from attendees. Scouring local bookstores, however, King could find no books related to men and mental health.

On March 1, King is releasing a book on men’s mental health, which he co-wrote with Sarah W. Gaer, a suicide prevention specialist for first responders (who lost three friends to suicide in a three-year period), and Sally Spencer-Thomas, a psychologist and professional mental health speaker (who lost her brother to suicide in 2004).

The book, titled “Guts, Grit & the Grind,” features a collection of stories and strategies written for men by

When it comes to what supports winter health, misconceptions and missteps abound

Oliver Lemon's can now be found in Terrebonne as well as Sisters.

Local Grocery Chain Expands to Terrebonne Oliver Lemon’s replaces Thriftway; Melvin’s in Sisters gets new name Chicken soup is good for more than just the soul: According to a 2000 study reported in the journal Chest, chicken soup helped reduce inflammation in lab tests.

Another 1978 study, also reported in Chest, found that drinking chicken soup helped clear people’s nasal passages. Thus far, no major studies have been conducted on the efficacy of bone broth.

n winter, the days are dark and people tend to spend a lot more time inside. Even those Central Oregonians who extol the virtues of the outdoors for everything from spiritual to physical health tend to spend more time indoors than they do in the summertime. I mean, most people aren’t eating a lot of leisurely breakfasts on their patios in January.

In winter, a combination of factors— including those named above—can result in more colds, more flu, and generally, a less-efficient immune system. When attempting to discern why flu season happens in winter, researchers a century ago discovered the flu likes cold, dry weather.

When it comes to combating illness and keeping the immune system in prime condition, however, it’s easy to turn in the wrong direction. One potential culprit: the sugar hiding in that immune booster people turn to at the first sign of sickness.

Since naturopathic physicians— classed as primary care practitioners in the state of Oregon—tend to ascribe to the “food as medicine” philosophy, I asked some local ones to weigh in on healing foods and supplements for the winter and beyond.

Watching sugar intake EmergenC is one of those immune-boosting products with too much sugar to support immune health, said Michelle Jackson, a naturopathic physician in Bend. “I recommend good old Vitamin C without sweeteners, preferably in a liposomal form so it becomes fat soluble and you don’t immediately urinate out high dosages.”

Joshua Phillips, a naturopathic physician at Hawthorne Healing Arts Center in Bend, agrees, and says he routinely advises patients to watch their overall sugar intakes.

“I really do tell people to be careful about the amounts of sugar they’re consuming—the immune system can be impacted by it,” Phillips told the Source.

“Whether you’re trying to prevent getting sick or you’re already sick and you want to get better, avoiding sugar is super important. There’s studies that say it will have zero effect, but if you take a look at research versus people’s experience, sugar does wipe out white blood cells in general.”

On its website, the National Cancer Institute describes white blood cells as, “Made in the bone marrow and found in the blood and lymph tissue.

White blood cells are part of the body’s immune system.”

The benefits of probiotics While Phillips said people can get benefits from nearly any Vitamin D supplement, the same doesn’t hold for other immune boosters he recommends—namely, probiotics. Getting probiotics from fermented foods is good, Phillips said, but when it comes to probiotic supplements, he says people should be very discerning about what they buy.

And while yogurt might be some people’s go-to for getting probiotic benefits, both Phillips and Jackson recommend watching dairy intake when someone’s getting sick. Dairy products can create excess phlegm, Phillips advised—not ideal when someone’s already making a lot of the stuff while under the weather.

“If people are getting sick, try to rest, drink water, avoid sugar and dairy and try to get into an infrared sauna if possible,” said Jackson.

Sunny skies, but you still need Vitamin D Perhaps another misconception people ascribe to in Central Oregon: We live in a sunny place—so we must get enough Vitamin D, right? Probably not.

“Living where we live, near the 45th parallel, we don’t get great Vitamin D conversion,” Phillips said, adding that many Central Oregonians he treats are deficient in this vitamin, which, in addition to fostering strong bones, acts like a hormone in the body and can contribute to a strong immune system. Phillips said locals should be taking Vitamin D supplements roughly six to nine months of the year— and that most Vitamin D supplements commercially available will work just fine.

Bubbie’s remedy still works great So what about the good old-fashioned chicken soup? Bubbie’s classic remedy still has merit, these naturopaths say.

“It can be great, but make with bone broth and lots of garlic. Another great ‘soup’ is organic tomato soup, lemon juice, ginger, horseradish and garlic,” Jackson said.

And while food and supplements can be part of someone’s arsenal when they’re getting sick, in Phillips’ book, the simplest diet is the best diet.

As he said, “I tend to be a little old-fashioned when it comes to food; the freshest, most alive food that people can get their hands on, the better.”

Rudy’s Markets—the grocery company that operates Bend’s Newport Avenue Market—has added a third store to its profile. On Jan. 2, Rudy’s took over the Thriftway grocery store in Terrebonne, renaming it Oliver Lemon’s. In addition, the Sisters store previously known as Melvin’s by Newport Avenue Market changed its name to Oliver Lemon’s on Jan. 2 as well.

In Terrebonne, where the store remains the town’s only grocery store, Rudy’s Markets stated in a release that it, “will offer shoppers mainstream and convenience items, including the store’s famous fried chicken, as well as hard-to-find foods and unusual gifts,” adding that Thriftway’s previous owner, Bonnie Villastrigo, will continue to work at the store.

“When it came to naming our new market, we knew we wanted something that reflected who we are,” said CEO and President Lauren Johnson.

“Something a little savory. A little zesty. A little unusual. And a lot local.

Oliver reminds us of our hometown roots and, like a weathervane, always keeps us pointed in the right direction, keeping our employee-owners and local community top of mind in all we do.” Similar to the past Melvin’s logo, the Oliver Lemon’s logo includes an image of a rooster.

All three of Rudy’s Markets stores are employee-owned, and its owners say they offer the highest grocery wages in the area.

What’s beer, and what’s just beer-flavored beer?

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 03 / JANUARY 16, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

CRAFT

Defining Beer

Zach Beckwith

Increasingly, alcohol shelves are crowded with beverages that are legally beer, but definitely not beer.

B

efore early microbreweries extolled the virtues of Cascade hops and two-row barley malt, there was a time when most people hadn’t the haziest idea what beer actually is. People knew beer came in a bottle or a can, their dads reached for one after a hard day at work and that beer is what you chugged in college—but most people didn’t think about it beyond that. Early “microbrewers” fought an uphill battle educating customers about the process and ingredients of traditional beer styles. Thanks to 40-plus years of the craft beer revolution, Central Oregonians now wax poetically about favored hop varieties and the fermentation characteristics of Norwegian farmhouse yeasts. However, as the popularity and visibility of “craft” beer has grown, the definition of beer has shifted and the lines between beer and notbeer have become increasingly blurred.

Some brewers go back to 1516 and the German Purity Law, or Rheinheitsgebot, as the gold standard for defining beer.

The Rheinheitsgebot codified that beer must only contain water, hops and barley (yeast was later added to the law once its role was discovered). This hard-andfast definition of beer is one extreme end of the spectrum, while Belgian tradition with the liberal use of herbs, spices and fruits provides a natural counterpoint.

American craft brewing grew out of a desire to revive classic beer styles from around the world, and in the intervening decades morphed into a bigger is better approach that has culminated in the current wave of non-beer beers.

Kettle-soured beers, such as Bend Brewing Company’s Ching Ching,

have gained popularity in recent years, but some American brewers have taken the bigger-is-better approach, adding so much fruit puree that the resulting liquid pours like a smoothie and leaves a layer of fruit pectin in the glass. Recently 450 North Brewing in Indiana was exposed for adding so much fruit puree to their “slushie” beers that it diluted the alcohol content from 8% to 2.3%! Though adding fruit to beer has a long tradition, it’s always been to enhance the characteristics of the beer and achieve a balance. If your beer tastes like a fruit smoothie, it’s not beer.

In 2019 we saw the popularity of hard seltzers, notably White Claw, explode. Hard seltzers exist thanks to a loophole in tax law that treats them as beer, though they couldn’t be further from beer. Most seltzers are cheap sugars, fermented to nothing, with artificial flavoring and carbonation added. Despite inferring they are a “healthy” alternative to beer, the reality is that hard seltzers are nothing but an alcohol delivery device— no matter how hard the manufacturer claims it is “handcrafted.”

The continued evolution of the beer industry—from small breweries brewing traditional styles, to nationally distributed beverage companies struggling to maintain market share, to upstart breweries trying to stand out on Instagram—has resulted in the shifting definition of beer. The reality is that the further breweries get from beer-flavored beer, the closer they get to losing the very identity that made them special.

FROZEN 2: While not possessing the same charms as the original, “Frozen 2” is still another solid entry in the Disney canon.

Warfare SCREEN Modern “1917” depicts a gorgeous hell

I

s war supposed to feel this fun? I mean, I get it, it’s 2020 and special effects are better than they’ve ever been. We have the ability to make CGI look about as real as life, so movies are only going to get more visceral as technology raises to meet storytelling. Violence is just gonna keep looking more and more exciting.

It’s funny because we’re coming off a year in which Martin Scorsese raised the hackles of nerds for saying that Marvel movies aren’t truly cinema because they’re basically theme park rides— yet “1917” feels like a War Rollercoaster Ride smashed together with a video game, but with awards prestige.

On a purely technical level, “1917” is a jaw-dropping feat of the imagination filled with some of the most complex filmmaking in the history of the medium. Director Sam Mendes wants to put audiences solidly in the boots of his protagonists, which he does by hiding most of the cuts in the film. The entire thing feels like a real-time odyssey into the depths of war and violence.

The film “1917” tells the story of two young British soldiers, named Schofield and Blake, who have to hand-deliver a message to a regiment (which includes Blake’s brother) that’s about to walk into an ambush set up by German forces. The entirety of the film is these two men traversing a war-torn France while trying not to die, leaving the audience to truly feel like they are along for the ride.

There’s nothing in “1917” that carries more depth than a college kid shaking their head wistfully and lamenting that war is chaos, but it’s such pure cinematic entertainment that it’s hard to

Sam Mendes sure knows how to make war look beautiful.

complain. Mendes has expertly choreographed this movie down to the millisecond, and it’s heart pounding to witness—but does that mean it’s any less silly than “Spider-Man” or “Thor?”

I realize the subject matter is much more serious than Peter Parker going on a school trip, but does the elegantly intense execution of a war movie with no cuts elevate it or bring it down to a goofier level?

The conceit of having no visible cuts makes for an incredibly intense ride,

no doubt, but I’m not sure it emphasized the horrors of war in the way that Mendes intended. Yes, the violence is visceral and horrible, but it’s always impersonal in the same way as a “Call of Duty” or “Modern Warfare” game moves the player past the carnage to get to the next area.

Don’t get me wrong, “1917” is one hell of a movie and will age beautifully. I guarantee it will sit snugly next to “Saving Private Ryan” and “The Thin Red Line” as an example of what

modern war movies can do to exemplify the genre. But we’re kidding ourselves if we think it’s somehow more “adult” than “The Avengers” or somehow more award-worthy. At the end of the day, it’s all still making explosions look fun, regardless of the subject matter.

Statistics show that programs such as Deschutes County’s inmate yoga program can reduce the risk of reoffending

Whychus Creek, seen here, is already designated Wild & Scenic from its source to close to Sisters.

Nominate a river for Wild and Scenic designation Volunteer instructor Deven Sisler teaches a yoga and mindfulness class at Jewell Elementary—one of many locations where the Namaspa Foundation holds community classes.

J

ails and corrections systems throughout the U.S. are referred to as “the new asylums.” A 2018 report conducted by the Oregon Health Authority found that 50% of the state’s prison population had a diagnosable mental illness and was in need of professional treatment.

Sgt. William Bailey, administrative sergeant and public information officer for the Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office, noted that the county’s jail system had been discussing yoga as a resource for inmates since 2014. “We had to work out some logistics and locate a provider,” he said. “Sheriff [Shane] Nelson had wanted to get yoga into the jail for some time, and after meeting with Namapsa, they implemented a plan.”

Sheriff ’s office officials met with the Namapsa Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization geared toward bringing yoga to community members who wouldn’t otherwise have access.

Co-founder Brandy Berlin mentioned that getting yoga into the local jail wasn’t an easy process, but it showed rapid results.

“When things finally did come to fruition, we got immediate feedback from the Deschutes County correctional officers. Yoga was making a difference,” Berlin said.

Because so many inmates struggle with mental health and lack the resources they need to succeed once they’re released, rates of recidivism are extremely high. U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics from 2018 showed that,

“an estimated 68% of released prisoners were arrested within three years, 79% within six years, and 83% within nine years.”

Yoga Behind Bars, a program based in Washington state, claims that “8% of individuals who took four or more yoga classes returned to prison, compared with a national average of 60% recidivism.”

“Finding ways to keep the inmates busy, while reducing their stress in the jail environment, is crucial,” Bailey said.

“The classes are available to inmates even after they’re released, in the hopes they can continue healthy choices and life management and work towards being successful in the community after they are released from custody.”

For the first several months of the program, the jail only offered classes for females, due to an extreme shortage of male instructors. “We were a little apprehensive… Are men going to accept it because it’s a little too woo-woo? But the response has been great across the board,” said Berlin.

“Both males and females tell us they really enjoy the classes,” Bailey confirmed. As of now, the biggest issue that the Namaspa Foundation and the Deschutes County Jail face is a lack of volunteer instructors. “The classes are regularly full, with inmates on a waiting list to attend,” said Bailey. Berlin urges anyone interested in participating to reach out to the foundation for more information.

The Namaspa Foundation brings yoga to local inmates at the Deschutes County Jail and the Deer Ridge Correctional

Institute in Madras—but in addition, volunteer instructors offer yoga at local treatment centers, homeless shelters and schools. “Since we started teaching in schools, teachers have been reporting that kids are requesting more yoga; more mindfulness. So that the teachers are less dependent on us, we’ve started training them to teach mindfulness techniques in their own classrooms.

It’s difficult to stay ahead of requests, because we don’t do one-offs. Yoga is a practice. It won’t be effective if we go in and teach one class every few months,” Berlin explained.

As far as local treatment centers go, Berlin noted a growing presence.

“We’re in Serenity Lane, Skyline Recovery, Turning Points… we actually offer ‘Fresh Start Passes,’ which are given to professionals in the mental health field. They can then, in turn, hand out the pass to a client they think would benefit from 45 free days of yoga. There was a client at Turning Points that got this pass, and she’s now in our teaching training program so that she can bring yoga back into the treatment center she once attended.”

Deschutes County Jail also offers a wide range of resources to inmates who may be struggling with addiction or other mental issues. “We provide AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous) meetings weekly. Drug and alcohol services by Pfeifer and Associates. Religious services, Celebrate Recovery, GED (General Education Diploma) classes. Food Handler’s certification,” Bailey said.

Do you have a river you love in Oregon? Do you want to see it more protected than it is today? Now’s the time to speak up.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden is asking Oregonians to nominate more Oregon rivers for the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System—meant to “preserve certain rivers with outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations,” according to information at rivers.gov.

People have through Monday, Jan. 20 to submit their ideas via email.

Rivers nominated could be added to Wyden’s upcoming Wild and Scenic Rivers legislation—building on the legislation Congress passed last February. That effort added more than 250 miles of Wild and Scenic rivers in Oregon—allowing some 2,173 of Oregon’s 110,994 miles of rivers to fall under extended federal protection.

(FYI, portions, but not all, of the Lower, Middle and Upper Deschutes River are already designated Wild and Scenic, as well as portions of the Crooked River and Whychus Creek in Central Oregon.)

“Whether you are a whitewater rafter, an angler or simply an Oregonian who believes strongly in protecting the river or stream that provides safe drinking water to your community, I want to hear from you,” Wyden wrote in an open letter to Oregonians in October.

People can nominate rivers by emailing rivers@wyden.senate.gov. Learn more about the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System at rivers.gov.

How Does Your Water Taste?

Memories of the waste dump that is Alkali Lake

By Jim Anderson 35 Jim Anderson

Apparently, the chemical outfits got off scot-free, as the State of Oregon had approved of that stinky, poisonous debacle.

“What can I do for you, trooper?”

I asked.

“OK,” he said, “this is still an anonymous call…” And then he went on. “I just got home from Alkali Lake where I followed a trucker I cited for a leaking load. He had a bunch of leaking 50-gallon drums on his truck and was pretty close-mouthed about what he was hauling.

“I didn’t want to make the driver nervous and allow any more of whatever

was leaking to louse up the works, so I followed him. He turned south at Riley and then turned west near the state’s Alkali landing strip and drove out to the old lakebed.”

I knew this was going to be important, so I asked him to hold up while I grabbed paper and a pencil. When I gave him the go-ahead he went on. “Well, I stayed out of his range of sight and watched as he pulled up to a huge stack of drums, similar to what he was hauling. He got his lift-truck off the back and started stacking the drums against and among the others. When he drove away I went to look at the drums.”

He hesitated for a moment, and then with a sigh, went on: “Jim, there’s acres and acres of drums out on that old lake bed, a lot of ‘em spilling their contents all over the surface and it stinks really bad, it looks and smells like some kind of chemical goop.”

And it was! I went out and looked at the stuff myself the next day. It was apparently something created by chemical companies (in Portland?) when they ran one product into a new product. They had to get it out of the lines, so they put it into drums and first dumped the drums in a landfill west of Portland.

But the county district attorney out there fined the chemical outfits because the drums ruptured and contaminated a creek running nearby, which was a rancher’s water supply.

So this time, the chemical companies got organized. Somehow, they convinced the Oregon Department

Proud to be Central Oregon’s first and only carbon-offset radio station

the adult alternative

of Agriculture to approve this dump. A trucking outfit contracted to haul the stuff out to Lake County to dump it on the old ice-age alkali lake bed where it would be out of sight/ out of mind.

The photo here is what it looked like in 1973. My wife, Sue, and I had a glider flying school at that time in Bend, and to make things work out financially I was “stringing” for KGW-TV—filming stories, writing scripts and sending the works to Portland on the Trailways Bus. I sent them a story on that horrifying site.

Consequently, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality got wind of it. Apparently, the chemical outfits got off scot-free, as the State of Oregon had approved of that stinky, poisonous debacle. Taxpayers paid DEQ to bury it—BUT all that stinky, chemical poison is still Just a tiny portion of the chemicals buried under Alkali Lake. out there under Alkali Lake.

Sunriver is what it is because landscape architect Bob Royston, out of San Francisco, planned it that way and John Gray made it happen.

The basics of getting a home market-ready much better than overflowing junk drawers and stacks of unpaid bills. Clutter can be distracting to prospective buyers. Removing personal items, such as wall art with family names or photos, will allow potential buyers to envision themselves in the home.

Keep it light: Replacing light bulbs with brighter, more efficient bulbs will make a home more welcoming and appealing. Pruning landscaping near windows will allow more light to come in and will also highlight the views.

Both of these inexpensive projects are simple ways to make the home feel more spacious and cared for.

It’s the little things: Sellers will frequently ignore small maintenance items they believe buyers could easily repair themselves, but that actually depreciates the home—so always make sure everything is working properly. Adjust doors and windows so they open and close properly, replace broken door handles or outlet covers, fix leaks and make sure all lights and faucets function. These little projects always pay for themselves.

Larger renovations require expertise, planning and extra funds, and it can be difficult to know what should be done to prepare a home for sale. The answer is that it’s always a case-by-case situation.

It’s essential to consider the financial situation, the motivation for moving and seller’s goals with the home sale. Consulting with a trusted realtor who knows what buyers are looking for is crucial in making wise and cost effective decisions.

he only thing consistent in life is change, and this winter, the Central Oregon real estate market is proving this. In previous years sales start to decrease in late fall and then gain momentum again once spring and summer approach. This new year is starting off differently as evident by the open houses that are bustling with activity from a larger-than-normal buyer pool currently looking for their perfect home.

The notable data from the current market is the increase in total number of homes sold, which jumped from 167 in November to 205 in December—reminiscent of spring and summer statistics.

Whether the goal in 2020 is buying or selling, now is the prime time to begin preparing. If making a purchase, the priority is to get financially ready and keep current on market updates to avoid soaring prices or interest rates. If planning to sell, whether now or later this year, a few quick and easy checklist items will help a home become market-ready. Prepping now will avoid an overload of to-dos in the coming months and these tips for homeowners can make a large impact on a small budget of time and money.

Clean, declutter and make it sparkle: It’s a perfect time to tackle a deep cleaning. This means washing the windows, curtains and blinds; cleaning the carpets and floors, including tile and grout; cleaning out drawers, organizing closets and clearing off counter tops.

Also do some organizing. Nicely stacked containers or boxes in the garage look

Currently, home has 3 rentals professionally managed. Two bdrms in main house and 1 bdrm/bath in each guest quarters. Updated kitchen. Private setting. 7 acres. Shop and RV parking.

some household supplies (toilet paper, sponges, etc.) and asked me to split the cost. I’ve bought plenty of household supplies in the two years we’ve lived together without ever asking for any money. It feels weird and cheap that he’s suddenly doing this. Am I being unreasonable in feeling this way, or is he being seriously petty?

— Annoyed Weird conflicts like this make you start seeing your roommate differently, and not in a good way -- kind of like Joan of Arc on horseback, brandishing an empty bottle of Lysol.

As for what might’ve gotten your roommate so testy about the division of expenses, the human mind seems to have a built-in bookkeeping department. This is the force at work when an irate 8-yearold announces -- “J’Accuse!” -- that her sister’s slice of cake is a full three-hundredths of a millimeter bigger than hers.

We seem to expect 50-50 splits (which we perceive as “fair”) and get unhinged when another person gets a bigger share.

Our emotions are an essential part of our mind’s accounting staff, driving us to take action to correct imbalances. Neuroscientist Matthew Lieberman has found that fairness seems to read as emotionally “rewarding” to us -- that is, feelgood. Unfairness, on the other hand, leads to “aversive” emotions (the feelbad kind), motivating us to even out the balance of things so we can feel better.

The sort of scorekeeping your roommate’s engaging in seems to be triggered when people perceive they’ve been treated unfairly. Their perception may be wrong -- and that may actually be beneficial for them. Though we tend to assume we evolved to perceive things accurately, research by evolutionary psychologists Martie Haselton and David Buss suggests that we make self-protective errors in perception -- sometimes seeing things as greater than or less than they actually are.

It seems we evolved to err in whichever direction would be least costly to us in terms of our ability to survive and mate.

In harsh ancestral times, for example, letting somebody take advantage of us, like by freeloading, would likely have posed a greater threat to our survival than perceiving (perhaps incorrectly) that they weren’t pulling their weight. Putting them on notice that we wouldn’t just roll over for their slackerhood showed them (and others) that we’d stand up for ourselves, telling them that we’d make a poor choice of victim.Even if your roommate is wrong in perceiving you as

some rubber-gloved, Drano- and dish soap-poaching freeloader, as long as he feels the cleaning supplies split is unfair, it’s likely to make for a toxic living situation. You could suggest using an app like Splitwise to tally up what you each spend on household supplies and then reimburse each other. (This might even show him that you are spending more or that things are close to equal.) What’s important is that it makes the spending transparent and, ultimately, transparently 50-50. Because people cling to injustice (or perceived injustice), this, compassionately, allows him to have something a little more Amy Alkon commemorative on his tombstone than “Shared living quarters with a leech. Moving on to the maggots.”

ToMyTheboyfriend BetterandEnd I just ended it.

We had fun together and sex was great, but we’re bad for each other. He’s emotionally withholding, and I want love and openness in a relationship. Breaking up was the right thing, but I miss him horribly. Are there any hacks to make a breakup less devastating?

— Miserable You say it yourself: “We’re bad for each other.” Staying together on these terms is like being lactose intolerant and going on a fondue cleanse.

Unfortunately, understanding this probably doesn’t make amputating your partner any less devastating. But research by psychologist Lauren C. Howe suggests your perspective on the breakup matters: whether you see the breakup as an indictment or an opportunity.

Howe finds that emotional recovery after a breakup comes out of treating it “as a learning experience ... embracing rejections as opportunities for growth.” Contrast this thinking -- seeing a breakup as opportunity for self-improvement -- with seeing a breakup as “self-defining,” a sort of confirmation of some ugly “core truth” about oneself. Howe explains that this belief can cause the breakup to have a lingering impact, making people fear rejection and even “feel haunted by their past.”

In other words, using your breakup as a conduit to the sort of relationship you want should dial down its negative effects.

Focus on what you’ve learned and figure out what you need to do differently, like, say, quickly identifying and weeding out men who can’t give you the openness and affection you’re looking for. This, in turn, should help you land a man whose emotional expressiveness suggests his location on the Great Chain of Being is not directly above pictures of a cinder block and moss.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I love to be

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I love fools’ experiments. I am always making them.” So said one of the most famous and influential scientists who ever lived, Aquarian-born naturalist Charles Darwin. In accordance with upcoming astrological factors, I invite you to draw inspiration from his approach. Allow yourself to explore playfully as you conduct fun research. Just assume that you have a mandate to drum up educational experiences, and that a good way to do that is to amuse yourself with improvisational adventures.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “How do you get your main pleasure in life?” That question was posed to Scorpio author Evelyn Waugh and Piscean social reformer William Beveridge.

Waugh said, “I get mine spreading alarm and despondency.”

Beveridge said, “I get mine trying to leave the world a better place than I found it.” I hope you will favor Beveridge’s approach over Waugh’s in 2020, Pisces—for two reasons. First, the world already has plenty of alarm and despondency; it doesn’t need even a tiny bit more.

Second, aspiring to be like Beveridge will be the best possible strategy for fostering your mental and physical health.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Comedian John Cleese has an insight I hope you’ll consider. He says, “It’s easier to do trivial things that are urgent than it is to do important things that are not urgent. It’s also easier to do little things we know we can do than to start on big things that we’re not so sure about.” I hope you’ll make this advice a priority in the coming weeks. You’ll be wise to prioritize important tasks, even those that aren’t urgent, as you de-emphasize trivial matters that tempt you to think they’re crucial. Focus on big things that are challenging, rather than on little things that are a snap.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author Honoré Balzac (1799–1850) was born with sun and Mercury in Taurus and in the tenth house. Astrologers might hypothesize from these placements that he was ambitious, productive, tenacious, diligent, realistic, and willful. The evidence supporting this theory is strong. Balzac wrote over 80 novels that displayed a profound and nuanced understanding of the human comedy. I predict that 2020 will be a year when you could make dramatic progress in cultivating a Balzac-like approach in your own sphere.

But here’s a caveat: Balzac didn’t take good care of his body. He drank far too much coffee and had a careless approach to eating and sleeping. My hope is that as you hone your drive for success, you’ll be impeccable in tending to your health.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before he was 21 years old, William Shakespeare and his wife had birthed three kids. When he was 25, while the brood was still young, he started churning out literary masterpieces. By the time Will became a grandfather at age 43, he had written many of the works that ultimately made him one of history’s most illustrious authors. From this evidence, we might speculate that being a parent and husband heightened his creative flow. I bring this to your attention because I want to ask you: What role will commitment and duty and devotion play in your life during the coming months? (I suspect it’ll be a good one.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian-born painter Stanley Spencer (1891–1959) didn’t align himself with any artistic movement. Early on, his work was an odd blend of French Post-Impressionism and 14th-century Italian painting. I appreciate his stylistic independence, and suggest you draw inspiration from it in 2020. Another unique aspect of Spencer’s art was its mix of eroticism and religiosity. I think you’ll enjoy exploring that blend yourself in the coming months. Your spiritual and sexual longings could be quite synergistic. There’s one part of Spencer’s quirky nature I don’t recommend you imitate, however. He often wore pajamas beneath his clothes, even to formal occasions. Doing that wouldn’t serve your interests. (But it will be healthy for you to be *somewhat* indifferent to people’s opinions.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1440s. In subsequent decades, millions of mass-produced books became available for the first time, making their contents available to a far wider audience than ever before. The printing press caused other changes, too—some not as positive. For instance, people who worked as scribes found it harder to get work.

In our era, big culture-wide shifts are impacting our personal lives. Climate change, the internet, smart phones, automation, and human-like robots are just a few examples. What are doing to adjust to the many innovations?

And what will you do in the future? Now is an excellent time to meditate on these issues.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): You’re skilled at the art of self-editing. When bright new ideas well up in you, you understand they are not yet ready for prime time, but will need to be honed and finessed. When your creativity overflows, tantalizing you with fresh perspectives and novel approaches, you know that you’ll have to harness the raw surge. However, it’s also true that sometimes you go too far in your efforts to refine your imagination’s breakthroughs; you over-think and over-polish. But I have a good feeling about the coming weeks, Virgo. I suspect you’ll find the sweet spot, self-editing with just the right touch.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Thomas Love Peacock was a Libran author whose specialty was writing satirical novels that featured people sitting around tables arguing about opinions and ideas.

He was not renowned for cheerful optimism. And yet he did appreciate sheer beauty. “There is nothing perfect in this world,” he said, “except Mozart.”

So much did Peacock love Mozart’s music that during one several-month stretch he attended six performances of the genius’s opera *Don Giovanni*. In this spirit, Libra, and in accordance with astrological indicators, I encourage you to make a list of your own perfect things—and spend extra time communing with them in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Jean-Michel Basquiat started his career as a graffiti artist. When he evolved into being a full-time painter, he incorporated words amidst his images. On many occasions, he’d draw lines through the words. Why? “I cross out words so you will see them more,” he said. “The fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them.” In the coming weeks, you might benefit from discreetly using this strategy in your own life. In other words, draw attention to the things you want to emphasize by downplaying them or being mysterious about them or suggesting they are secret.

Reverse psychology can be an asset for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Because of the onslaught of the internet and social media, lots of people no longer read books. But in 2020, I highly recommend that you *not* be one of that crowd. In my astrological opinion, you need more of the slow, deep wisdom that comes from reading books. You will also benefit from other acts of rebellion against the Short Attention Span Era. Crucial blessings will flow in your direction as you honor the gradual, incremental approach to everything.

surprised by something I have never thought of,” declares Capricorn actor Ralph Fiennes. According to my analysis of the astrological aspects, you’ll be wise to make that one of your top mottoes in 2020. Why? First, life is likely to bring to your attention a steady stream of things you’ve never imagined. And second, your ability to make good use of surprises will be at an all-time high. Here’s further advice to help ensure that the vast majority of your surprises will be welcome, even fun: Set aside as many of your dogmas and expectations as possible, so that you can be abundantly receptive to things you’ve never thought of.

Local filmmaker launches Kickstarter to fund hemp-focused film

By Nicole Vulcan

Greg Moring

Filmmaker Greg Moring, right, interviews Jeff Steiner of Oregon State University’s Global Hemp Innovation Center for Moring’s project, “Hemp is Back.”

W

ith so many changes happening in the hemp industry in the U.S. these days, it can be tough for even industry players to keep up. And with Central Oregon forging a solid reputation as an ideal location to grow it, there’s plenty of drama, intrigue and policy questions about hemp to cover right here in our backyard.

“Our film will examine the bumps in the road to wealth or ruin.”

—Greg Moring Independent filmmaker Greg Moring—who cut his teeth in the industry working with documentary filmmakers including Ken Burns—is aiming to synthesize all of that and more into a new documentary, titled “Hemp is Back in Central Oregon: The Road to Riches?” based right in Central Oregon. Moring launched a Kickstarter campaign this month, with a goal of raising $20,000 for the project.

Moring’s documentary is taking on a host of issues and highlighting dozens of local farmers, policy makers and more—including the story of a retired fire captain with Parkinson’s disease who began growing hemp to help with his symptoms, as well as the stories of farmers banding together to form hemp co-ops, and the struggles of farmers trying

to comply with federal rules and changing limits on THC. “Our film will examine the bumps in the road to wealth or ruin, including scarcity of seed and starts, refusal of banks to allow hemp business banking, state, federal, and county fees and regulations, mother nature, and the economic boom for fertilizer suppliers, testing labs, processors, farm equipment suppliers and available labor pool,” the project description on Kickstarter reads. “With a 50% failure rate for new farmers, how the grow and harvest ends will tell the story of Oregon’s hemp pioneers and their success and failures,” it continued.

Once produced, Moring hopes to make the one-hour documentary available on PBS and Netflix.

The “Hemp is Back” Kickstarter campaign has until Feb. 5 to raise the funds through the platform.
