Every time an earthquake (or tsunami) happens off the Oregon coast, people begin to wonder once again, “Is the Big One coming?” It’s coming—but no one really knows when, or even if it’s going to be during our lifetimes. Still, Central Oregon is preparing, not necessarily as a place where we’ll experience damaging shakes, but as a place where people will come when it’s done. Jaclyn Brandt’s story on how that preparation is coming along is this week’s Feature—aptly timed after a tsunami from a volcanic eruption in Tonga this week prompted brief advisories for the Oregon coast.

Our coverage continues with some news about where to get more COVID tests (hint: your mailbox), a new brewery for Sisters, a new round of grant funding for artists and how a local outdoors group is empowering people of color to try new activities. Thanks for reading and have a great week!

School Board Recall: The Dire Consequences of a Low-Turnout Election

T

oday in Newberg, Oregon, political gamesmanship has been elevated to Shakespeare-level stagecraft. What was once a form of national political drama that we watched unfold from far-away Washington, D.C., now firmly resides even in the tiny corners of Oregon’s political field.

As we write this, voters in Newberg are turning in their ballots in a recall election aimed at removing two of the school board members responsible for a ban on “political symbols”— most notably Black Lives Matter and Pride symbols—on school district property. That ban was enacted in August. It was quickly followed by lawsuits alleging that the board had violated public meeting laws, and more lawsuits by district staff alleging that the ban violated their Constitutional rights. In November, the board’s 4-3 majority took the unusual step of firing district superintendent Joe Morelock purportedly for not enforcing the ban—a ban that appears to have First-Amendment violations, among other concerns. That was quickly followed by a recall effort targeting the board’s conservative chair and vice-chair, whose fate will be decided by voters in this Jan. 18 election.

All this, mind you, swirls around a body of K-12 students in Newberg and Dundee who continue a quest to obtain an education during a global pandemic—and who, by their input at public meetings—overwhelmingly oppose the ban on political symbols in their district.

And the ramifications of this election are having statewide consequences. In hopes of not seeing this debacle repeated, the leaders at Oregon’s school boards association and the state school superintendents’ association are calling on the Oregon legislature to pass a proposed bill that would protect superintendents from being fired for “taking specified actions against a superintendent when superintendent is acting in compliance with state or federal law.” Numerous school leaders around the nation have been fired during this pandemic for imposing mask or other COVID-related mandates as dictated by state or federal laws, so that proposed bill would seek to protect them, too. Yet another proposed bill supported by the two associations would offer more training and oversight for school board members, the Oregon Capital Chronicle reported Jan. 13.

This ongoing saga is engrossing enough to have captured the attention of many people around the U.S.—but beyond the drama-factor, what bearing does it have for people in Central Oregon?

Beyond the inanity of needing a bill that protects public employees from retaliation for simply following the law, there’s the reminder about voter turnout. During the May 2021 election that ushered in two of the four conservative school board members who ultimately voted in the political-symbols ban, the turnout was less than 24%. During the May 2019 election that ushered in now-chair Dave Brown and vice-chair Brian Shannon—both now up for recall—the turnout was just over 17%. Seven. Teen. Per. Cent.

In some of the races, roughly 200 votes separated the winner from the loser. In our electoral system (ignoring the presidential electoral-college system), the person with the majority of votes wins. It’s the fairest system we know of— and yet, that system is most fair when people actually turn up to cast their ballots.

Oregon’s Motor Voter law makes it easier than ever to vote. Get a state i.d. and you’re automatically registered. Then you get a ballot in the mail—and thanks to even more progressive changes during the pandemic, you don’t even have to pay for a stamp to send that ballot back.

Right now, Yamhill County is spending tens of thousands of dollars to administer a recall election for two school board members who have allegedly violated everything from public meetings law to the First Amendment. The Newberg School District is also tasked with finding a new superintendent—a candidate search that takes a lot of time and the efforts of a search firm to pull off. All dollars that we think most can agree would be better spent on a child’s education.

Regardless of the outcome of the recall, this high American drama is costing money, impacting students and sending a message to elected officials that it’s perfectly OK to violate the laws of this land, without much due process, to boot.

These are the dire consequences of a set of low-turnout elections. Like clockwork, we Oregonians have another set of elections coming up this year, in May and November. When that ballot conveniently arrives at your doorstep, fill it out. The cost of not doing so is actually much higher than you would imagine.

They have paid top dollar to live in an area with a large number of cul-de-sacs!

But this is the rule they found where the developer is not 100% in compliance, and an exception to the rule is required for the development to go forward. So they are weaponizing it in order to try and stop or slow the development.

The more time and legal expenses they can throw at stopping these homes, the more likely the developer either gives up and sells the land, or accedes to their demands and builds very expensive houses rather than duplexes.

City staff must follow the letter of the law, and so this objection must go through the process. If you guessed that this will cost the developer more time and money, between legal fees, city fees and delays, which will then be included in the price of the homes being built, you guessed correctly!

We should strive for more, rather than less diverse neighborhoods in Bend, and we desperately need more homes of all shapes and sizes. Our land use laws should serve to create a great place for everyone, rather than as a cudgel for the wealthy to exclude others from “their” neighborhoods.

CLIMATE CHANGE

RE: NEW YEAR, NEW VILLAGES NEWS, 1/13

Wake up! Our government and news media have totally politicized “climate change” to reflect that humans are the sole cause of global warming and humans can fix it. Neither premise is valid. Recent books by world renowned scientists, Steve Koonin and Bjorn Jomberg, demonstrate how we are being misled by the reported science (eg.

UNIPCC). Few people know that on March 7, 2019, Senators Schumer, our own Merkley, and others introduced Senate Bill S729 which stated in part that no federal funds could go to anyone who challenges the “scientific consensus on climate change.” Fortunately this did not pass. Science that cannot be questioned is propaganda. Due to new satellite systems we have been able to determine that the Earth is getting bombarded by more radiation than previous recorded history (see NASA data). Recent Danish studies have concluded that the magnetosphere has lost over 15% capability to protect us from radiation, mostly in the last 30 years. They conclude that the breakdown of the magnetosphere is “a significant cause of global warming” (Danish National Space Center). At this time, scientists cannot accurately quantify the global warming caused by humans versus the natural causes. Thus, targets for temperature reductions are arbitrary and sometimes capricious (California?) We do need to focus on adaption, but not sacrifice our economy to do so. Protecting water resources and our oceans must be the highest priority. Do we trust the politicians to this?

—Quentin Jauquet (Stanko)

This is excellent to see. I keep hearing “nobody would want camps or shelters near their home,” but I disagree. I work with our neighbors in the forest in Sisters, and they are just that, our neighbors. If we started embracing them instead of constantly pushing them away and out of sight further away, we’d see positive change and be able to all move forward together. This is a great step in the right direction, thanks to everyone involved.

5 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 03 / JANUARY 20, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Our land use rules in Oregon have good intentions behind them. But in the hands of people with money, they can be weaponized to economically segregate our cities.

Bend YIMBY has been following a proposal to build some homes (duplexes) on Awbrey Butte that the neighbors have been fighting tooth and nail.

They have written comments like: Why “build multiplexes rather than classy single-family homes?”

“This type of development that does not fit in with the neighborhood” “Awbrey Butte was not built for high density. Why? For high end large homes on large lots” [sic] “We want the developers to plan single-family residences on 12,500 sq. ft. lots” “The current Awbrey Butte neighborhood is a highly sought after place to live, and would cease to be so in the future with the addition of the large number of tenants the proposed development would bring, thus lowering the property values significantly. We bought this home as an investment and expected it to continue to retain it’s excellent property value far into the future.” [sic] The desire to keep out “inferior” duplexes is clear, but thanks to Oregon’s HB2001, those homes are legal, by-right.

So the residents did some digging, and found a rule – “Street Connectivity and Formation of Blocks standards” – that is in place to provide better street connectivity.

It’s a good rule! There are places in Bend where cul-de-sacs, rather than connected streets, mean long walks between adjacent lots. The city is right to discourage that.

However, the homes under consideration are on a steep portion of Awbrey Butte. A street grid—or even a simple loop—won’t work there.

Do the neighbors really care about street connectivity? Included with this letter is a map.

Child Care? Child, Where?

Cracks in Central Oregon’s child care market deepen as COVID causes several facilities to close

By Jack Harvel

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JANUARY 20, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

S

everal of Central Oregon’s child care centers closed their doors as the region experiences recordhigh COVID-19 cases, causing parents to scramble to find alternative care.

The latest surge is exacerbated by Central Oregon’s lack of available child care. A 2019 study from Oregon State University found that only 20% of children in Deschutes County had access to a child care spot, and that nearly every county in the state qualified as a “child care desert,” meaning any area with a 3:1 ratio of children to available child care spots.

“Most of the United States, so even beyond our regional realities, is struggling,” said Megan Pratt, an assistant professor at OSU and the lead author of the study. “What’s really clear is that two thirds of families of children under age five in our state don’t have available care, and this has stayed consistent. It’ll be interesting to see where we’re at, we’ll be looking at this next after the pandemic, because what a lot of times happens is, when there’s no child care, is mom stays home.”

The shortage of available care can lead to years-long waiting lists for children to get enrolled in preschool.

Under these circumstances, some parents feel child care centers take advantage of the shortage by charging more for less. During closures from COVID exposures, several parents who spoke to the Source reported they continued to pay full price despite their preschool’s lack of service. Deschutes County Public Health stopped tracking active cases in early learning facilities during the Omicron wave to focus on supporting facilities rather than track cases.

“From the second you get a positive pregnancy test, you have to get on the waitlist and then you have to call every single month to be sure that you could even get your child a spot,” said a Bend mother who asked to remain anonymous. “That’s why they can do what they do with their prices, when you wait over a year to get child care that you could barely get to begin with, you’re going to do what you have to do, even if it’s paying $850 a month to hold a spot that never comes.”

Some parents said they’ve had to take leave from work several times over the pandemic to cover for child care they still paid for. Others complained that little was done to inform parents how long the closure would last, and that some facilities didn’t do enough to contain outbreaks.

“I had zero confidence in their ability to manage it. They would say one thing while doing another,” a parent

Central Oregon was already considered a child care desert, and COVID certainly hasn’t helped.

said. “You were going to have stations for hand washing set up, so every person who comes to the facility will wash hands, and then you go in, there’s nothing like that set up.”

The issue of cost can to some extent be attributed to the high cost of staffing a child care center. Pratt said 72% of the child care system is funded by parents, and about 80% of revenue goes toward staffing. The reliance on funding from parents leaves few options when a closure happens.

“These programs are running on incredibly slim margins, and that’s because to provide safe, healthy care you can’t have more than four babies for each teacher or single adult, so you have to maintain these ratios,” Pratt said. “So it takes more money than typically most parents are able to truly afford to do it and then be able to withstand a closure for two weeks, or withstand any sort of hiccups.”

Compounding this is the industry’s difficulties retaining and hiring enough staff to meet demand. A survey of 7,500 early child care providers over the summer from the National Association for the Education of Young Children found that more than

half of the respondents said they had a harder time staffing than they did prior to the pandemic.

"We're in a desert, only one in three kids under the age of three had a place to go before COVID in Central Oregon, and I haven't seen any recent numbers, but we know it's worse, much worse," said Katy Brooks, CEO of the Bend Chamber of Commerce and a member of Oregon's Early Learning Council.

Eighty percent of center-based providers experienced a staffing shortage, where at least one open role was unfilled for more than a month.

As a result, over 50% of centers said they were serving fewer students, a third had longer waitlists or were unable to reopen all classes and a quarter had to reduce operating hours. The largest barrier to getting new employees is the industry’s low wages for teachers. Seventy-eight percent of NAEYC’s respondents cited low pay as the largest barrier to attracting new employees, and 81% cited pay as the main reason educators are leaving.

“It’s one of the lowest-paid professions in our country, and the pandemic has shown a really central piece of

our economic infrastructure,” Pratt said.

Low-income families more often rely on one parent or a family member for child care, while families most able to weather a challenging child care situation are the ones with financial, community and professional privileges.

“The families that are faring better than others are those that have the backup resources. They have grandma, they have the extra funds where they can keep paying tuition and then also pay someone else to watch their kid, they have a flexible job, where you can say, ‘I guess I’m working from home today, or for the next two weeks,’” Pratt said.

There’s been efforts to address a lack of child care in Central Oregon.

In October, 2021, the Deschutes County Commission allocated $6.6 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to help create 500 new child care spots and 275 new workers. One of the Bend City Council’s economic vitality goals from 2019-2021 was to increase available child care slots by 20%, and on Dec. 2, 2020, it voted to exempt child care providers from transportation system development charges until December 2022.

New Sunriver Station and Trails Funded

Deschutes County’s Transient Room Tax revenue funds tourist-y projects

T

he Deschutes County Board of Commissioners spent a large sum of unallocated Transient Room Tax funding at its meeting Jan. 12, giving $600,000 to the Deschutes Trails Coalition for trail infrastructure and maintenance and $8 million toward a public safety building to house police and fire services in Sunriver.

In Deschutes County about 30% of TRT goes toward tourism promotion via the Central Oregon Visitors Association and tourism-related facilities. The remaining 70% is allocated for general county purposes including the Sheriff’s Office, administrative costs, capital reserves and an unallocated fund to be spent at the County’s discretion.

The unallocated fund is the largest and fueled by a boom in the past few years that saw TRT collections up nearly 50% in 2021.

It was largely fueled by tourism to Sunriver, which contributes about half of all the county’s TRT collections.

“We’re not a city, we can’t impose any room taxes, so all the room taxes that are generated in Sunriver, and other parts of unincorporated Deschutes County, go to the county,” said Debbie Baker, board

administrator for the Sunriver Service District. “That was the nexus for us, because we’re not able to impose those taxes... the funds generated in our area have gone into this pot.”

The service district said its police and fire facilities currently don’t meet industry standards and can be overly burdened when nearly 30,000 tourists visit over the summer. The police station is essentially an office space; it doesn’t have showers, decontamination facilities, holding cells, booking equipment or adequate security measures. The fire department lacks gender-specific sleeping facilities or adequate decontamination facilities, Baker explained. The new building would house both these services under a single roof.

“Our vision is to take the fire station and remodel it to meet those deficiencies that are existing or to mitigate those deficiencies, and include the police department in one building, and also create a community space as well,” Baker said.

The service building is funded through three main pools of money: $8 million from the county’s unallocated TRT fund, $3 million from Sunriver’s reserves and a

voter-dependent 10-year capital improvement levy for $7 million that will be on Sunriver’s ballots in May. Trail Maintenance The Deschutes Trails Coalition’s $600,000 funding will establish a grant program for trail maintenance. The Deschutes National Forest spends a little over $1 million annually on trail maintenance, but DTC coordinator Jana Johnson said there’s a $10 million backlog of projects that federal funding fails to address.

“Trails are a primary reason people come to Central Oregon to live, to recreate and to vacation. Our trails are being impacted by several factors such as increased use as well as climate change, and we know that existing trail funding opportunities are not keeping pace with maintenance and infrastructure needs,” Johnson

told commissioners during the meeting.

The grant program the funding establishes is meant to fill holes in the patchwork of public and private funding that maintain trails now, particularly in trails that aren’t “shovel-ready.”

“Because these funds are unrestricted they can be used to fund things other funding sources just aren’t able to, most grants require proposals for shovel-ready projects, but how do projects that require planning and analysis and design to become shovel ready get to that point without additional funding?” Johnson said.

DTC requested annual funding, but the Deschutes County commissioners requested it be revisited after a year to learn more about progress made on the trail system.

The Biden administration ordered a billion tests to increase COVID-19 testing capacity, along with expanding free testing programs and attracting more pharmacies to participate in the federal pharmacy free testing program. People who order tests online can expect to receive them in seven to 12 days. This comes after the Biden administration required insurers to cover at-home COVID tests.

It’s recommended to test for COVID if someone is experiencing symptoms, if they’ve come into contact with someone who tested positive or are gathering indoors with people who have comorbidities or are unvaccinated.

Noticias en Español Las dificultades en el sector para el cuidado de niños aumentan porque COVID causa que varios centros de cuidado cierren Por / By Jack Harvel Translated by / Traducido por Jéssica Sánchez-Millar nuestro estado dos tercios de las familias con niños menores de cinco años no tienen cuidado de niños a la mano y esto ha sido constante. Será interesante ver cómo estamos, estaremos viendo esto después de la pandemia porque lo que pasa muchas veces es que cuando no hay cuidado de niños disponible, la mamá se queda en casa.”

La falta de cuidado disponible puede crear una lista de espera de años para que los niños se inscriban en preescolar.

Durante los cierres, debido al haber sido expuesto a COVID, varios padres que platicaron con the Source reportaron que continuaron pagando la cantidad completa a pesar de la falta de servicio de preescolar.

Algunos papás dijeron haber tenido que ausentarse varias veces del trabajo durante la pandemia para encargarse del cuidado de niños que aún tenían que pagar. Otros padres se quejaron que poco se les informó de cuánto tiempo permanecerían cerrados y que algunos de los centros de

cuidado no hicieron lo suficiente para contener los brotes.

“No tenía nada de confianza en su capacidad para lidiar con la situación.

Decían una cosa mientras que hacían otra,” dijo un padre de familia. “Iban a tener estaciones para lavarse las manos para que cada persona que entrara a centro de cuidado se lavara las manos y entrara, no hay nada de eso.”

“Estos programas están llevándose a cabo con márgenes muy reducidos y eso se debe a que para brindar una atención segura y saludable, no se puede tener más de cuatro bebés por maestro o por adulto, por lo que es necesario mantener estos rangos”, dijo Pratt. ”Por lo tanto, para hacerlo se necesita más dinero de lo que normalmente los padres pueden pagar y luego poder lidiar con el cierre por dos semanas o soportar cualquier contratiempo.”

A esto se suma la dificultad en la industria para retener y contratar personal suficiente para cumplir con la demanda.

Como resultado, más del 50% de los

centros de cuidado dijeron que ofrecían servicios a menos estudiantes, un tercio tenía listas de espera más largas o no podían reabrir todas las clases y un cuarto tuvo que reducir sus horas de servicio. La barrera más grande para emplear a más personas en la industria es el pago bajo a los maestros.

Se ha puesto el esfuerzo para solucionar la falta de cuidado de niños en el Centro de Oregon. En octubre de 2021, la Comisión del Condado de Deschutes asignó $6.6 millones en fondos a la Ley del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense para ayudar a crear 500 centros nuevos para el cuidado de niños y 275 trabajadores nuevos. Una de las metas para la vitalidad económica del Consejo Municipal de la Ciudad de Bend para 2019-2021 fue aumentar los espacios disponibles para el cuidado de niños en un 20% y el 2 de diciembre de 2020 votó para excusar a los proveedores de cuidado de niños de los impuestos por desarrollo del sistema de transporte hasta diciembre 2022.

APOCALYPSE WHEN?

Emergency management officials are planning for the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake — in Redmond

By Jaclyn Brandt Redmond Municipal Airport

Should a major earthquake rock Central Oregon, plans are to make the Redmond Airport the hub for aid and rescue efforts.

O

regon’s beauty was created largely by the state’s rocky past: thousands of years of volcanic eruptions, wildfires and numerous large earthquakes. Although those dangers seem to be very much in the past, many continue to be real dangers.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a constant threat to the area, and after a 2015 New Yorker article on the potential devastation an earthquake at the subduction zone could cause, the threat became very top-of-mind for many locals.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is on the edge of the Juan de Fuca Plate (the plate that makes up North America), which is also what created the Cascade Mountains and all the volcanoes within the mountain range.

“The Cascades themselves are about 40 million years old, so this has been a volcanically active area for a long time,” said Julie Donnelly-Nolan, a geologist with the United States Geological Survey. “Then if you just think really much more recently, the peaks that we see every day vary in age, but [are] somewhere from tens of thousands of years old to hundreds of thousands of years old.”

At its highest, the Cascadia Subduction Zone has the potential to be significantly higher on the seismic scale than even the San Andreas Fault— and therefore much more devastating. Although the earthquake could potentially devastate the western side of the state, residents in the rest of Oregon could also be affected.

Deschutes County releases an Emergency Management Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan every few years, which lists the top 10 potential

(natural) dangers to the region, including winter storms, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, drought, flood and landslides.

A major earthquake at the Cascadia Subduction Zone is specifically listed on the latest Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan, even though Central Oregon is so far inland, because of the potential consequences of such an earthquake Although the fault is located off the Oregon and Washington coasts, it will affect Central Oregon is a significant way. The potential earthquake could put the region in the middle of the rescue operation.

The Willamette Valley is sitting on sediment, and if an earthquake hits, the highways may not be drivable. Because of this, the Redmond Munic-

The Redmond Airport, also known as Roberts Field, was identified as an incident-support base by the state of Oregon and the Federal Emergency Management Agency several years ago, and Garibay calls it a “critical component” for the rescue effort.

“We’ve had several meetings with different stakeholders here with the city of Redmond and the airport and the county, state, federal agencies, FEMA and the military as far as how to best utilize Redmond airport and surrounding facilities so that clearly is on the radar and will very likely be, if not the most critical facilities in at least the initial response to Cascadia,” he explained.

As part of the incident support base, the Redmond Airport will be used as a port of entry for

The airport is being upgraded to be the command post for the state if the earthquake happens off the coast of Oregon.

A Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, “will be difficult to manage, even for us,” Nathan Garibay, emergency manager with Deschutes County, explained. “We’ll be proportionately much less directly affected, but our indirect effects will be significant.”

emergency relief supplies and personnel coming into Oregon to help with the recovery during a major earthquake of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which means it will receive federal assets and federal relief efforts.

“The concept of operations would be that these resources would be transported to Redmond by air, ground, maybe rail eventually, and organized using aircraft and eventually, hopefully, trucks once the mountain passes are open and

the highway infrastructure is improved to the point where they can get into the [Willamette] Valley,” Garibay said. “It would be transported into the Valley to start recovery efforts.”

There will also potentially be thousands (or more) people fleeing the Willamette Valley after the earthquake, which would cause extra stress on Central Oregon and other parts of the state.

Current discussions include how to best utilize Redmond Airport and surrounding facilities in the case of a devastating earthquake, to make sure they are in compliance with best practices.

“We are coordinating with all the other agencies, either government, non-government or other entities that could be involved in an emergency response,” Garibay added. “We’re making those connections and building those relationships so that during a disaster or in the event of a major incident, that we’ve got some of those issues worked out and that the relationships are there to effectively manage and to respond and recover from a disaster or large scale incident.”

In the event of a large earthquake at the Cascadia Subduction Zone, emergency management officials expect, at the very least, some degree of impact to the power infrastructure, and potentially a loss of power for many days to the Western Interconnection power grid Even though officials are preparing for a large-scale disaster, Garibay stresses it’s up to citizens to understand that they will be living without the comforts of life they are used to.

Central Oregon will be an important aspect of supporting the emergency in the Valley, but many commodities that make it to the area come via

the I-5 corridor, which includes fuel. According to Garibay, “Downstream effects of supply chain and fuel would probably cause a ripple effect.”

“Almost the entire state of Oregon gets all their fuel through a fuel hub in Portland that's not anticipated to survive the Cascadia earthquake, so getting things like fuel, supplies, groceries, power...” will not be possible for days, weeks or months.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is just one of the many natural disasters Oregon has the potential to experience. There are numerous active volcanoes in the state, many which are past their eruption schedule, including South Sister, Mt. Hood and Newberry.

“Obviously we’re very aware we live in a geologically relevant environment. All of our local mountains are volcanic in nature. We have fault lines that run through here,” Garibay said. “We’re obviously within the impact area of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. They’re finding faults all the time. An example is the faults they discovered on Mount Hood and what that could potentially mean to the Mount Hood region and the Portland metro area, so we’re very aware of the geologic hazards in our area, whether it’s earthquakes or volcanoes.”

Geologists are constantly working to study the region’s earthquakes and volcanoes, but the one thing they cannot do is predict the timing. Donnelly-Nolan explained, “We can measure earthquakes as a result of strain built up in rock then eventually bricks and we can measure the amount of strain that’s building up along the fault, so we have a pretty good idea about where along the fault an earthquake is most likely to occur. And we have a pretty good idea of how big it might be, but we have no way to predict when.”

Geologists and emergency management officials both stress that the dangers in Oregon are very real, and instead of pretending it won’t happen, we should be preparing.

“It’s easier to go about your daily life and not think about that. We know these events will happen both for earthquakes and volcanoes, but we don’t know when, and so there is tendency to just say, ‘well, it won’t be in my lifetime’ and that may very well be true,” Donnelly-Nolan explained.

“We may never see an earthquake or a volcano in our lifetime in Oregon but both of those events will happen in the future so we should be prepared as individuals for any of those events.

The point is also to build a culture of awareness, because they will happen in someone’s lifetime, and if we all just pretend they’re never going to happen then the people who live during the time when they do happen are going to be in much worse shape than if we just built a culture that’s built into it.”

Whether it’s a volcano, an earthquake, or a wildfire, Oregon residents are more than willing to help each other out in traumatic situations and are planning for the worst.

“In the past few years, we have seen historic events that challenged many people to provide for their daily needs. Disasters disproportionately affect some people more than others. Those of us who can prepare, should prepare so those limited resources can go to those who need it the most,” “We have a moral obligation to do what we can to help our neighbors to the west so we’re going to be balancing those activities,” Garibay said. “It’s trying to take care of our local citizens but also trying to support the response effort to the best we can until those activities can be taken over by other entities.”

Welcome to the danger zone — where Oregon's long overdue earthquake is expected to hit... some day.

A new year brings new bands with familiar faces.

S

ound the alarm—Central Oregon is sounding off a new band alert. And you’d better make that two new bands. Both of which have familiar faces.

First up we have Denver Says. While in this form the band is new, the faces behind Denver Says might be familiar to some. They’ve got bassist Ryan Lucas (Tang, Dive Bar Theology), drummer Hudson Mickel (Dive Bar Theology, Sugar Mama), Skyler Kruger on keys (Heavy Light) and then Levi Wolfe on vocals.

Second, we have heavy folk outfit Morrow.

Led by Spencer Morrow on vocals, guitar and writing and Jon Burr on drums (Bravey Don); the lineup also features two members from Denver Says—Lucas and Kruger.

Both bands will debut in Central Oregon at Wolfe House’s Winter Concert Series in Redmond on Jan. 20. We chatted briefly with Levi Wolfe and Ryan Lucas about Denver Says to get the scoop on the band.

Source Weekly: First off, tell me a little bit about the band. When did you come together and how did you all meet?

Levi Wolfe: We’ve been a band for about two or three months now and everything has come together so quickly and so smoothly. Ryan has known Levi for about five years. He used to date Levi’s sister and also plays bass in a cover band called Sugar Mama with his older brother and Denver’s drummer Hudson who he has gotten to know really well over the last six or seven months since joining the band. Skyler and Ryan met when they were in high school briefly and recently have become roommates so they’ve gotten pretty close in that time.

SW: This week will be your debut show. How excited are you to play live together for some fans?

Ryan Lucas: Personally, this is very exciting for me because I have had some of these songs for five years and to finally see them come to fruition

and have them sound a million times better than they ever did just sitting in my head, so this show and this band is just really special.

SW: Can you explain the band’s sound a bit for those who might catch Denver Says this week or later this year?

LW: I’d say our sound is very akin to the bands Pinback and Systems Officer. Bass-driven indie rock with thoughtful and meaningful lyrics.

SW: Do you have plans to release some material this year or are you focused more on live gigs at the moment?

LW: We definitely are planning to record a lot of material this year. In fact, the first week of February we’re headed into Treason Sound (who we absolutely love working with) to record a couple of singles that’ll be out in the following months.

SW: Is there a story behind the name Denver Says?

RL: The story behind the name is long and somewhat convoluted but I’ll try to keep it short.

In the early ‘90s San Diego music scene there was a guy by the name of Denver Lucas (no relation) who played in a band called Powerdresser. And just through hearing stories from my uncle, reading articles and listening to my favorite songwriter Rob Crow, I found myself relating to this guy a lot. The name actually comes from a song by Rob Crow’s band, Heavy Vegetable, called “Couch” and he has a lyric in the song that inspired the name: “Denver says everything should go, everything should stay here. And I wonder if I should save my money or spend it all on beer.”

Wedding Calendar Checklist

Wedding Priorities PRIORITY ONE (10 TO 12 MONTHS BEFORE WEDDING DATE)

9 – 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO WEDDING DAY Create a binder to store and organize ideas, worksheets, receipts, and brochures.

Determine Budget and how expenses will be shared.

Discuss the size, style, and the scope of the wedding.

Choose a target wedding ceremony & reception time.

Start compiling your guest list to estimate head count. Consider budget when thinking about “must-invites” versus “nice-to invite.”

Begin shopping for wedding gown.

Hire Photographer and videographer.

4 – 8 WEEKS PRIOR Mail wedding invitations.

Do a hair & make-up run through.

Finalize any details, payments due.

Confirm all transportation plans.

Obtain marriage license *expires 30 days from issue date.

2 – 4 WEEKS PRIOR Work on seating arrangements for the reception.

Finalize arrangements for out of town attendants and guest.

Hire a DJ.

Confirm details with the photographer, florist, DJ, Bakery, and any other vendors.

Consult with florists that you are interested in hiring.

Have final fitting for bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses.

Send out save the date cards.

Create a list of all wedding vendors and wedding party with contact information.

6 – 9 MONTHS PRIOR Choose members of your wedding party.

Enroll in wedding/shower gift registry.

Book an engagement photo session.

Hire a florist.

Schedule tastings with Baker for cake/ desserts.

Hire a baker.

Created time-line for wedding day, starting with morning routines.

Communicate Rehearsal dinner details to those who will attend.

Write your rehearsal dinner toasts.

Purchase gifts for the wedding attendants (unless doing customized gifts, then this should be done according to time-frame of jeweler.. ect.)

Confirm place for all to get ready.

Reserve a block of Hotel rooms for out of town guest. (ask about group rates.)

Send out save the date cards (if haven’t already) Include lodging info and maps.

Start planning your Honeymoon!

pedicure, facials, waxing, massage, brows, ect.)

Shop for wedding rings.

4 – 6 MONTHS PRIOR Finalize guest list.

Order invitations (25 extra) and other wedding stationary (place cards, thank-you notes.)

Plan wedding day beauty preparations. Book a stylist, hair/make-up.

Finalize honeymoon plans (passports? Visas?

Inoculations? For travel outside the country.)

Decide on additional décor for reception site, create or purchase.

PRIORITY TWO (6-9 MONTHS)

FLORIST:

WEDDING PLANNER:

A coordinator is especially helpful from the beginning to guide you through the process.

THE VENUE:

This should be booked as soon as possible. Some of the more popular wedding venues will book up 2 years in advance. Remember, you don’t have an official “wedding date” until a deposit is put down on your ceremony and reception sites, and you can’t move forward with booking any other vendors without a secured date.

OFFICIANT:

It is recommended to book this person (whether it be a friend or a professional person) as soon as you have the wedding date to make sure they are available.

PHOTOGRAPHER:

The most popular photographers are usually in high demand, and can only shoot one wedding per weekend. Since their schedule is limited, book them early in the planning process.

CATERER:

If the venue is not providing the Food & Beverage be sure to secure the caterer early as they typically only cater to one wedding a day. Time for tasting and menu planning will allow you to narrow down your choices and make a decision based on your likes, instead of “who's left.”

BAND OR DJ (INCLUDING CEREMONY MUSIC):

Your DJ will play a significant role in the mood of the reception. Personality is key. The top talent in the area will book up fast. Since they typically only do one event per day they should be high on the priority list of vendors.

WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER:

*It is important to decide early in the planning process how important the wedding video is to you. If it is a high priority, the Videographer should be treated the same as the photographer and booked as early as possible.

Some florists can handle a couple of weddings at a time, (Although I have found in our Central Oregon area, that is not the case). Depending on how important the flowers are to you and if you are looking for a specific style, put down that deposit and secure the florist of your choice.

CAKE/BAKERY:

Most bakeries can handle multiple weddings on the same day. Give your self some time to schedule tastings, this will help in your decision process, (plus Free Cake!)

RENTALS:

Although there are several rental companies in town, if you are looking for a specific design look (such as barn wood tables, or a certain color and style of chairs) these items can be limited in quantity. Best to book on the earlier side so you still have design choices.

TRANSPORTATION:

Depending on the location of the venue, and the amount of people you are needed to transport, this should be secured early as well. There are only a limited amount of larger passenger buses in the Central Oregon area. If you are just looking for Wedding party transportation you should be fine 5-6 months out.

HAIRSTYLIST/MAKE-UP ARTIST:

Leaving enough time for “trial runs” in both hair and make-up is key. You will be able to find a professional that you truly love their work, and have the time to decide on who fits you best.

INVITATIONS:

Unless its custom work, there should be multiple invitation designers to choose from. Make sure to get these out about 4 months prior to the wedding date! *I do recommend sending out “Save the Date” cards right around the same time you secure the venue.

LIGHTING COMPANY:

Most rental companies will offer lighting treatments as well. If you can secure this at the same time as your rental needs this should save you additional fees. If not, there are several companies to choose from and should be easier to book closer to the wedding.

Compile a list of items that need to go with you to the venue (cake knife, toasting glasses, ect.)

THE DAY BEFORE Review final details with wedding party.

Have rehearsal & rehearsal dinner (give gifts to attendants.)

Enjoy a relaxing day with friends and family.

GET SOME REST!

Hire wedding day transportation, and any other guest shuttle services.

Plan rehearsal dinner.

(IN TYPICAL BOOKING ORDER)

WEDDING DAY Relax and remain calm, Eat something, and leave the rest for Shine Events to handle!

Enjoy every minute of your wedding day!

Order wedding rings (if haven’t already.)

Narrow down menu & Wine selections, schedule a tasting.

Order wedding cake/dessert selection.

2 – 4 MONTHS PRIOR Decide on Grooms wear, order tuxedos if applicable.

Mail wedding invites * typically 8 weeks prior to date.

Meet with DJ and confirm ceremony/ reception music.

Book a Hotel room for wedding night.

If you are planning on writing you own vows, get started now.

Discuss reception and ceremony design.

Day With Us!

SKILLETHEAD Setting roots in the high and dry Central Oregon desert, Skillethead calls forth the best of bluegrass old and new. They ground themselves firmly in the bluegrass traditions of driving fiddle tunes, layered harmonies, and single mics, all the while weaving in inspiration and originality gleaned from genres far and wide. You can expect to hear a Stanley Brothers number right alongside a stirring original or a rollicking rock cover done in Skillethead's own unique fashion. The spectrum reaches far and wide, the bluegrass universe is expanding, and Skillethead is on that ride!

BLACKSTRAP Blackstrap is currently booking our 2022 schedule and we want to be on yours!

We love weddings and private parties as much as our gigs at local and regional venues; and can work with the host on providing a diverse live music experience. Our acoustic music is rooted in Bluegrass/Americana yet our hearts were forged on rock and roll.

In addition to our original music and our renditions of bluegrass standards, our repertoire includes countless covers of familiar tunes that represent many musical genres.

Relief Funding for Oregon Artists

Oregon Arts Commission announces a second round of funding for artists impacted by the pandemic

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 03 / JANUARY 20, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

hen the first cases of COVID-19 began to arrive in Oregon and people headed home, artists, like everyone else, were caught in a last-minute scramble to adapt.

“The majority of my work—concerts, readings, lessons, workshops—had moved online, and my creakly old laptop was barely able to function,” recalls Central Oregon singer-songwriter and poet Beth Wood, for whom touring was a full-time gig before March of 2020.

Since then, she’s launched a Patreon community where fans can support her financially, started working part-time outside of music and poetry and began teaching private lessons and workshops to make ends meet.

In addition, a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission’s Artist Resilience Program has helped her stay afloat.

Wood was among dozens of artists in Deschutes County—and among many more statewide—who received a grant from the program in 2020. Now, the program is announcing a new round of funding, awarding between $1,000 and $5,000 to professional artists who experienced a loss of revenue in 2021.

Administered by the Oregon Arts Commission in partnership with Oregon Community Foundation and the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, the 2022 round of funding sets aside $1.5 million for Oregon artists.

“With the artist resilience grant, I was able to buy a new laptop and also fund some studio time to make a recording for my Patreon community,” Wood

The Artist Resiliency Grant helped musician Beth Wood retool her career.

told the Source. “The beginning of the shutdown was so scary for performing artists and gig workers because all of our jobs went away. Art is not always valued in our society, so it was deeply meaningful and encouraging to have this support come out of the blue.”

During the last round, 25 artists in Deschutes County were granted funds. Kiel Fletcher, a senior instructor in ART/AMT at Oregon State University-Cascades, was another of the grantees.

“I had a number of shows and classes canceled that were planned for 2020 specifically over the summer when I am not on contract at OSU,” Fletcher wrote via email. “The funding helped to make my studio

practice less stressful, covering costs for shows that weren’t canceled or postponed.”

The same went for Susie Zeitner, a full-time, self-employed artist who owns and operates Z Glass Act Studio in Sisters. For her, the grant funding helped her to buy photography equipment, allowing her to better market her work via quality photos.

“With the onset of the COVID pandemic, my income had dropped severely and I wouldn’t have been able to purchase that equipment anytime soon,” she said.

“I so appreciated that award and opportunity. Good photographs are key to creating interest and exposure for my work.”

Artists interested in applying for the latest round of funding have until

5pm on Thursday., Feb. 10 to apply by visiting oregonartscommission.org.

“In reaching Oregon’s artists, we know we are not only supporting these individuals financially, but also enabling them to continue their creative careers and enliven the cultural environments of Oregon,” said Brian Rogers, executive director of the OAC in a press release.

The Artist Resilience Program accepts artists from the following disciplines: Literature (creative non-fiction, fiction, play writing and poetry); dance (including choreography); music (composition and music performance); theatre and performance art; visual arts (crafts, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media and new media); design arts; folk & traditional arts and media arts.

If you aspire to keep hens, don’t let me discourage you. The eggs are of incomparable quality, and the byproduct is rich manure that’s like steroids for your garden.

Chicken Husbandry and the Perfect Scrambled Egg

By Ari Levaux

I

’ve raised a lot of chickens. Probably hundreds. For eggs, not meat. I give them the best lives I can, including a generous retirement plan when they reach a certain age, with free room and board, yet they rarely arrive at those emerald pastures. Precious few have lived long enough to die in their sleep. I blame myself.

If you aspire to keep hens, don’t let me discourage you. The eggs are of incomparable quality, and the byproduct is rich manure that’s like steroids for your garden, which will produce plenty of weeds and garden waste that your chickens can turn into more eggs and byproduct. It’s a nutritious, virtuous circle, without the bother of a compost pile. But just know that hen husbandry is a full-contact sport. And while there are many upsides to flockster life, the eggs aren’t free, and they aren’t always sunny side up.

You can order baby chicks in the mail.

The little box is labeled “LIVE ANIMALS.” The post office will call you to come get them immediately, day or night. The box is full of cute little fuzz balls huddling together for warmth, perhaps standing on the bodies of their trampled comrades. If one develops a wound the others will peck at the wound until there’s nothing left to peck. Darwin would be truly impressed with baby chickens. Older hens, if given the chance, would quickly dispatch all the chicks, neutralizing future competition like the plumed dinosaurs they are.

Hens can also get a taste for eggs, causing obvious problems. And those are just some of the threats from within the flock.

They will cower below the shadow of a passing hawk, but an owl strikes with more stealth. Some people think raccoons are cute, but not when they are pulling a chicken through a small hole, piece by piece.

Many times I’ve run outside to smack their shiny-eyed heads with a shovel. When it’s a skunk, I keep my distance and throw the shovel, followed by any other throwable objects within reach. One night at dusk I nearly stepped on a rattlesnake, hunting

eggs. Its hiss sent me running. I returned with my shovel.

One might suggest that my choice of chicken farming locations has played a role in the dangers they have suffered. But chickens are never safe. If you raise hens in New York City you probably have to fend off the rats.

Huskies are chicken-killing machines. And they like to wander. Once, a husky wandered into my backyard when the hens were grazing and quickly killed them all before I could chase it off.

Even the sun can kill chickens. In New Mexico one summer morning, I forgot to let the chickens out of their extremely fortified coop. When I got home that night, all but one were cooked. A few years later while I was on vacation, a lightbulb exploded in the cold and burned down the coop. The fire department came. The house sitters were traumatized.

Amazingly the chickens all survived, but that was the exception. I returned to the task of building a coop in the middle of winter.

The other morning, I was on the couch with a cup of tea and saw a fox in my backyard. A real actual fox. As in the kind of animal that you are not supposed to let guard the hen house.

And presumably nowhere near the hen house.

It had a huge bushy tail, and casually left the yard without appearing to notice the chickens, or so I thought. That was my cue to inspect the fence and coop for weaknesses, but its bushy tail must have hypnotized me. A few days later, four hens were dead.

At the winter farmers market, I saw the farmer that sells me my chickens. I told her what happened, and she agreed to set aside a new flock. I prefer buying six-week-old chickens from willing, local farmers to baby chicks in the mail. Adolescents are tougher and less likely to get trampled, pecked or picked off by the house cat. Until then, my remaining three chickens will have extra space in the avian equivalent of Fort Knox.

In April my farmer friend will bring a box of teenage chickens to market for me, and the cycle continues.

The perfection of scrambled eggs with a simple baguette.

Scrambled Eggs One of my favorite scenes in any food film comes from “Big Night.” After preparing a very important meal, capped with a magnificent timpano, the cooks finally had a chance to feed themselves. It was the simplest of meals. Eggs, scrambled in olive oil, seasoned with salt, and served with a hunk of bread. It hammers home the idea that eggs are as satisfying as the fanciest of foods.

I thought I knew everything about how to scramble an egg, but I learned a lot from that scene.

So here it is, the scrambled egg recipe, as best as I can tell, as prepared by Secondo in “Big Night.”

Serves 1 2 eggs, cracked in a mixing bowl 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil A pinch or two of salt, to taste A section of baguette Secondo turned the pan onto high and gave it a generous pour of olive oil. He then beat the eggs furiously for about 20 seconds, while the

other hand slowly rotated the bowl, letting go and re-gripping as he turned the bowl into the circular motion of the fork. He added a pinch of salt and gave it a final stir.

I know that those who believe you can’t fry in olive oil will be skeptical, as will adherents to the “low and slow” school of scrambled eggs.

With this technique the high heat allows for a taut yet supple skin surrounding a perfect fluffy interior, thanks to the trapped steam.

He poured the eggs into the pan and they spread out with a hiss. With a wooden spatula, Secondo began gently teasing the edges of the egg toward the middle, detaching the yellow disc and allowing him to shake it around the pan. After about 30 seconds, he gave it a casual flip, and slid the finished eggs onto a plate. Your flip need not be perfect. It’s easier than you think. If the eggs land in a crumpled pile that’s fine. Secondo slid the eggs onto plates next to torn hunks of baguette. They ate in silence.

At the risk of breaking character I garnish mine with a few leaves of parsley for color and flavor. And hot sauce, which I require on my savory egg dishes.

THE 355: This looks like a smarter take on “The Expendables,” but with some of the finest actresses currently working. Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger and Penelope Cruz decimating rooms full of bad guys; sounds about perfect.

Regal Old Mill A JOURNAL FOR JORDAN: Denzel Washington is extremely underrated as a filmmaker and this romantic drama continues his career behind the camera focusing on the intimacy of relationships and the different relationships men have with their fathers. Regal Old Mill AMERICAN UNDERDOG: I’m torn about this one

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

BENEDETTA: A sexy and intense nun movie from the director of “Robocop” and “Starship Troopers” is the perfect movie meal for those in need of some bonkers cinema. A genuinely fascinating and well-crafted film. Tin Pan Theater GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE: This could have felt like an actual third “Ghostbusters” film instead of just another reboot or re-imagining, but, oh well. There’s room for depth in these movies but I guess I’m also happy just watching Slimer tear it up, too. Regal Old Mill

THE KING’S DAUGHTER: This is a weird one: A fantasy drama starring Pierce Brosnan as King Louis XIV that follows the historical king as he seeks immortality by stealing the life essence of a mermaid. What’s even weirder is this has been sitting on the shelf for over seven years and is just getting released now. That can’t be a good sign. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House THE KING’S MAN: The long-delayed prequel

to the “Kingsman” franchise brings in the astoundingly good Ralph Fiennes to act as the classiness missing from the absent Colin Firth. It looks like a blast, but does anyone care enough about the franchise to need a prequel at this point? Regal Old Mill

LICORICE PIZZA: The new film from one of the greatest living directors, P.T. Anderson, “Licorice Pizza” is another one of his L.A. movies set in the ‘70s after “Boogie Nights” and “Inherent Vice.” This is right up there with “Punch Drunk Love” in the realm of oddball romantic comedies. Regal Old Mill MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS: Don’t get me wrong, I’m really excited for this movie, but what I really want to know is whether it can reclaim red pill/ blue pill from the right wing while also making

leather trench coats and ‘90s techno music cool again. All signs point to maybe. Regal Old Mill

NIGHTMARE ALLEY: With a cast featuring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe and a dozen other fantastic actors all being directed by the visionary Guillermo del Toro, “Nightmare Alley” is the kind of film we rarely see anymore. Film noir framing, femme fatales and old school storytelling make this one for the grown-ups. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House

RED ROCKET: The new film from director Sean Baker takes another look at hidden people that float between the cracks in America. Riotously funny at times, while also being surprisingly touching when you least expect it. Tin Pan Theater SCREAM: Another horror reboot comes our way from the franchise that probably deserves it the most. The “Scream” series has always done a great job balancing meta-humor and horror and this new entry promises more of the same.

Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, McMenamins SING 2: Is…is that a porcupine singing U2? Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME: I know, I know:

another Marvel movie, but I’m genuinely excited for this one to dive into the multiverse while also bridging together the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield franchises into the MCU. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is such a joy to watch as Peter Parker that I’m along for the ride no matter where this series chooses to go. Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

TORN: A powerful look at a complicated familial relationship built from the loss of one of the world’s most famous mountain climbers. One hell of a documentary and a perfect companion piece to “The Alpinist.” Tin Pan Theater

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH: Easily the best

Shakespeare adaptation in a decade or so, with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand both giving astounding performances in what feels like a lost Bergman film. The black and white cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. Tin Pan Theater

WEST SIDE STORY: Steven Spielberg doing a big, epic Broadway musical sounds like heaven to this theater kid and the film itself looks like an absolutely gorgeous and faithful reproduction.

Also, Rita Moreno is a national treasure and we must protect her at all costs. Regal Old Mill Odem Theater Pub

ormally the first few weeks of the new year see a glut of terrible movies get foisted upon us from studios that have no faith in whatever product they are shilling. But because we now exist in the Upside Down, good movies come out in January, terrible ones come out in December instead of Oscar hopefuls, and going to see “Spider-Man: No Way Home” could actually be seen as a superspreader event. As a matter of fact, there were so many interesting movies to choose from this week that I couldn’t decide on just one, so I went to three of them.

It’s a good problem to have.

“Red Rocket:” More proof that we’re now living our best lives in the darkest timeline, Simon Rex AKA terrible rapper Dirt Nasty (who has played in Bend with Mickey Avalon) might get nominated for the Best Actor Oscar later this year. Former MTV VeeJay, male porn star and crafter of songs with none other than Riff Raff, Rex truly does give one of the finest performances of the year as a washed up porn star slinking back to the small Texas town he comes from without two pennies to rub together.

From Sean Baker, the filmmaker behind “Tangerine” and “The Florida Project,” “Red Rocket” is unapologetic in its look at human nature and how the least deserving among us can sometimes make it the farthest in life when conventional morality doesn’t enter into it. The film is a

rambling and freewheeling look at the lives of some fairly marginalized people (many of whom aren’t actors) and how they hustle for their daily bread even as society leaves them behind. In many ways, this feels more “real” than “Nomadland.”

“Scream:” Legacy sequels (where they combine original actors from a franchise with new ones in the hopes of rebooting a series while appealing to older fans) don’t usually play very well, but the new “Scream” is intelligent and honest in its designs to appeal to as many people as possible.

Technically this is “Scream 5,” but the studios want those dollars from the folks who haven’t seen the first four, as well as the cents from those who have.

Luckily, the film is a dastardly entertaining slasher mystery filled with whip-smart dialogue, meta humor about movies and some of the bloodiest kills this side of a “Halloween” movie. With the returning threesome of Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, “Scream” manages to feel like a fun continuation of Wes Craven’s franchise, while also building a solid foundation for many more movies to come.

“The Tragedy of Macbeth:” Frances McDormand was born to play Lady Macbeth. The way Shakespeare’s words drip from her tongue gives new meaning to phrases us Willie Nerds have heard hundreds of times in the

You might not love the characters from "Red Rocket," but you’ll definitely understand them.

past. Her performance, along with an astounding take on Mackers from Denzel Washington, and Joel Coen (working without his brother Ethan) directing like it’s the last thing he’ll ever do, this version of the Scottish Play is downright breathtaking.

Seriously, if you’re a fan of movies at all but don’t give the tiniest crap about Shakespeare, this still demands to be seen because visually it is absolutely astonishing. The way Joel Coen and cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel play with negative space and then combine it with an absolute dance of light and shadow gives “The Tragedy of Macbeth” a look we haven’t seen

An interview with the new program coordinator for Vamonos Outside, Wesley Heredia

Eduardo Romero

Nature Night: A Low-to-No Snow Future

H There's no biz like snow biz; Jugamos Afuera participants frolic in the snow during a recent outing.

I

n late 2021, Vamonos Outside—the local nonprofit with a mission to connect, engage and inspire Latinx families & community into the outdoors—announced it had hired a new program coordinator, Wesley Heredia, to help connect with the community and to further the group’s mission.

The Source Weekly connected with Heredia to talk about the new role. The below interview has been lightly edited for clarity.

Source Weekly: Share a little about your background.

Wesley Heredia: I would call myself an outdoor educator. I’ve been working in the outdoor industry as a guide instructor or educator for about eight years now, and I’ve worked all over the west from Colorado to Utah to Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington.

My main experience has been with Outward Bound as an instructor, first starting in Colorado, then in California.

And now here, outside of Redmond. I’ve taught environmental ed. I’ve taught a few college classes. And then finally, I’ve also been a snowboard instructor at Mt. Bachelor for four seasons.

I am Mexican American and we didn’t grow up—I grew up in inner-city L.A. the first half of my life, and really didn’t have those green spaces. We didn’t go out to the forest. We didn’t go out to the desert. We didn’t go out to the beach, even, that much. Being in the inner city, you’re kind of stuck in the inner city.

Once we moved to Oregon when I was 12, from then on—there’s just so many more green spaces.

SW: Explain a little bit about Vamonos Outside.

WH: Vamonos Outside is an outdoor-based program that is geared toward serving the Latino— primarily Latino population—here in Central Oregon, and also people of color as well.

SW: Why is this program so important to you?

WH: It’s important to me because it hits home for me—something very deep within me; because growing up, there wasn’t a thing like this that took people outside or introduce people to the outdoors. I had to kind of scrape by and get into it where I could find it.

And so why this is important to me?

It’s because I can take what I know, take my culture, take my experience as the person growing up as a Mexican American but also take my experience as a person of color working through the outdoor industry and seeing it from all different angles and trying to combine the best of both worlds, of a group of people that that have felt neglected, and felt invisible in a lot of other spaces.

And so we’re trying to bring them into the spotlight by just providing a bridge to the outdoors.

SW: You’ve had some recent events— talk a little about the events you’ve had going on lately and how they went.

WH: I think the first event that we kind of helped start was this little program called Jugamos Afuera—and partners with Campfire Central Oregon. The idea was to get kids from elementary school during online distance learning— get them outside and take him to a park

where they could play and just be in green spaces. Often enough—a lot of kids who are from the Latino community, going to school and being at school is probably the only space to have to play outside with adult supervision. And so when they didn’t have school, they were stuck inside or just playing around their homes.

We’d take them out to the park, like a short walk away and we would just play games, give them some snacks and then walk them back to their homes. We did that for two falls now. Then in the winter, we took them out sledding and snowshoeing and then hiking as well during other times of the year. We took them to the climbing gym as well. And they really love just bouncing around and climbing on the walls as well. So the idea is—get them out of the house and get them to try new activities.

SW: Talk about the partnership you have with Mt. Bachelor.

WH: This partnership with Bachelor is a new one and pretty exciting one. It’s Ski or Ride in Five program where we are bringing teenagers from Bend High and Caldera High, who are people of color or Latino. We’re going to get them to Bachelor and take him through the Ride in Five program. And so that’s kind of the idea, and we are on track to start. I have our first day actually this weekend, on Saturday.

-Vamonos Outside also hosts a regularly scheduled BIPOC Climb Night and recently acquired a van to be able to transport program participants to events. For more information on volunteering, donations or programming, find them online at vamonosoutside.org.

istorically, mountain snowpacks have functioned as large, natural water supplies that can also provide entertaining recreational activities for local outdoor sports enthusiasts. As time continues to pass by, the snowpack in the Cascades mountain range has consistently declined—which could be attributed to the many effects of climate change. In an effort to learn more about a possibly “low-to-no snow” future in Central Oregon, join the Deschutes Land Trust, Dr. Alan Rhoades and Dr. Erica Siirila-Woodburn, on Jan. 26 for a live Zoom call that offers “proactive solutions to both mitigate the extent of and adapt to the changing conditions of a low-to-no snow future.”

Rhoades and Siirila-Woodburn are both research scientists in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area of Berkeley Lab and focus on different water cycles and the influence climate change has on them. Rhoades’ work focuses more on water resource management, while Siirila-Woodburn studies shifts in precipitation patterns and following wildfires. Both areas of study are important to understanding how future climate scenarios are calculated, such as the possibility of a low-to-no snow tomorrow for the Pacific Northwest region.

The event is free to register though space is limited. A recorded version of the presentation will be made available for those unable to attend the event live via Zoom.

Funky Fauna Launches as First New Brewery CRAFT in Years CH

By Brian Yaeger

D

uring the pandemic these last two years, we’ve bid farewell to a number of cherished eateries but welcomed some new faves, too. Until now, the same could not have been said about breweries, for although we’d lost a few outside of Bend, it’s been the area’s longest period without a new brewery since 10 Barrel first opened in 2007. Ever since Initiative Brewing launched in Redmond in early 2019, we’ve literally never gone almost three years without expanding the Bend Ale Trail.

Thanks to Funky Fauna Artisan Ales, that era is over. Not only did this new spot from brewer Michael Frith and his wife Danielle Burns—who designed the modern, inviting tasting room—open in the last days of 2021, but last week, Van Henion Brewing also entered the marketplace as a lager-centric brewery in Boyd Acres.

Frith is a Colorado native while Burns hailed from Ohio. They lived in Denver until Burns’ job at an architecture firm moved them to Bend which is when Frith, who came from the cannabis industry, stopped brewing at Our Mutual Friend and initially started brewing at Spider City.

Funky Fauna doubles the brewery population of Sisters. Three Creeks Brewing, established in 2008, operates its production brewery a hefty Frisbee’s throw from Funky Fauna, with only Swedish-style Fika Sisters Coffeehouse in the middle.

The name Funky Fauna might cause sour and wild ale fans to think it’s a brewery exclusively focused on spontaneous-fermented ales, in the vein of Bend’s The Ale Apothecary and Tillamook’s De Garde. But the brewery also offers a wide range of “clean” beers (meaning fermented with standard brewer’s yeasts) and, down the road, “funky” beers that have undergone mixed fermentation that incorporate microorganisms such as Brettanomyces and Lactobaccilus.

“We’re not the [Willamette] Valley,” said Frith, but that’s not going to stop him from turning to native yeasts floating on the winds that pass through the high desert. “We are tied to this land.”

He hopes to eventually employ a koelschip, or “coolship,” to inoculate future funky projects. We can also expect foeder-aged beers— think massive oak barrel—though Frith already has a handful aging in oak barrels.

The first two beers tapped were Ludo Mentis Oregon Lager and Floriferous IPA. What makes Ludo Mentis an Oregon lager compared to, say, a German-inspired one is the use of Oregon-grown malts and hops.

Funky Fauna lays claim to being the very first Craft Malt Certified Brewery, meaning it relies on small-batch malted barley from the

likes of Mecca Grade Estate Malts in Madras and Skagit Valley Maltings in Washington, with a portion of the barley grown in the Willamette Valley.

Fantastic Mr. Edwin is the debut hazy pale ale, hopped with a fruit cocktail’s worth of hops such as the tropical fruit and berry-forward Strata, peach and citrusy Citra hops, coconut-throwing Sabro and a dank experimental varietal. Edwin happens to be the brewery’s fox mascot who morphs into a Monstera leaf that graces the logo Burns designed.

My personal favorite is A Most Pleasing Error of the Mind, inspired by Roman poet Horace, but the beer ought to appeal to fans of the Trappist monks at the Orval Abbey in Belgium. Billed as a farmhouse IPA, the beer is a bit heavier on Brettanomyces than the iconic Trappist pale ale, as well as on the hops. The beer underwent a spell of mixed fermentation—a process that is standardized at a year or longer, but remember this is a new brewery—in oak barrels rather than stainless steel tanks and is hopped with El Dorado and Meridian hops. In the glass, the beer opens with a huge whiff of stone fruit and musk, largely derived from the particular strain of “Brett.” The hops lend notes of pineapple core, dried apricots and mellifluous herbs.

It’s distinct yet approachable, a line that’s difficult to straddle.

“Some people are intimidated by funky beers,” says Frith, “but they’re very tropical and fruity. It’s not what you thought it’d be.”

In addition to beers that will rely on microflora, Frith and Burns are vegans so all available snacks are plant-based, with food trucks anticipated once long-term outdoor beer drinking weather returns, along with plans for a run club hosting a weekly 5k.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JANUARY 20, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Self-help teachers and New Age gurus are fond of using metaphors about opening doors. They provide a lot of advice that encourages us to knock on doors, scout around for doors that are open just a crack, find keys to unlock doors, and even kick down doors. I will not be following their lead in this horoscope. In my opinion, the coming days are an excellent time for you to heed the contrary counsel of author Paulo Coelho: “Close some doors today.

Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” Once you carry out this assignment, Aquarius, I believe you’ll start finding interesting new doors to open.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 2017, Piscean film director Jordan Peele released his debut film, Get Out. It was a success with both critics and audiences. A year later, Peele became the first Black screenwriter to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. As he accepted the Oscar, he said, “I stopped writing this movie about 20 times because I thought it was impossible.” Personally, I’m glad Peele didn’t give up his dream. Here’s one reason why: He will serve as an excellent role model for you throughout 2022. As you reinvent yourself, Pisces, don’t give up pushing ahead with persistence, courage, and a quest for what’s most fun.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In October 2021, the Vancouver Canucks hockey team played the Seattle Kraken team in a Seattle arena. A fan named Nadia Popovici noticed that the Canucks’ equipment manager Brian Hamilton had an irregular mole on the back of his neck— possibly cancerous. She found a way to communicate her observation to him, urging him to see a doctor. In the ensuing days, Hamilton sought medical care and discovered that the mole was indeed in an early stage of melanoma. He had it removed. In the spirit of this inspiring story, Aries, I invite you to tell the people in your life things they should know but don’t know yet—not just what might be challenging, but also what’s energizing and interesting. Be their compassionate advisor, their agent for divine intervention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Canadian-Jamaican songwriter and recording artist Kreesha Turner isn’t a mega-star like Beyoncé or Rihanna, but she has had a successful music career. What’s the secret to her constant creative output? Here’s what she has said: “I love to surround myself with people who are the best at what they do. My idea is I want to be a sponge and absorb everything they teach, experience their energy, view them in their element, and have the opportunity to ask them questions.” The coming year will be one of the best times ever for you to emulate her strategy, Taurus. And now is a perfect moment for formulating plans to make it happen GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Lisa Cron says that when we’re telling a story, we should give each successive scene “new information, rather than rehashing things we already know. Never tell us the same fact twice. Because it’s boring and stops the flow of the story. Never tell us the same fact twice. Because it’s boring and stops the flow of the story.” In accordance with astrological omens, Gemini, I suggest you apply this counsel to everything you say and do in the next three weeks. Don’t repeat yourself. Keep moving right along. Invite novelty. Cultivate surprises and unpredictability.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Years ago, I reluctantly gave up my music career. To do so was sad and hard. But it enabled me to devote far more time and energy to improving my writing skills. I published books and developed a big audience. I’m glad I did it. Here’s another redemptive sacrifice I made earlier in my life: I renounced the chaotic pleasure of seeking endless new romantic adventures so I could commit myself to a relationship with one particular woman. In so doing, I learned a lot more about how to be a soulful human. I’m

glad I did it. Is there potentially a comparable pivot in your life, my fellow Cancerian? If so, the coming weeks and months will be a favorable time to make a move.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Claudia Christian has appeared in over 50 films, including many in the science fiction genre. She has played a variety of roles in movies with more conventional themes. But as for the sci-fi stuff? She says, “Apparently, I’ve been typecast: I’m a Russian bisexual telepathic Jew.” If Christian came to me for astrological advice right now, I would suggest that the coming months will be an excellent time for her and all of you Leos to slip free of any pigeonholes you’ve been stuck in. Escape the mold! Create niches for yourself that enable you to express your full repertoire.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to meditate on your job and your calling—as well as the differences there may be between your job and your calling. In fact, I regard this as a phase when you can summon transformative epiphanies about the way you earn a living and the useful services you provide to your fellow humans. For inspiration, read this quote from photographer Margaret BourkeWhite: “Even while you’re in dead earnest about your work, you must approach it with a feeling of freedom and joy; you must be loose-jointed, like a relaxed athlete.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Marguerite Yourcenar wrote, “All happiness is a work of art: The smallest error falsifies it, the slightest hesitation alters it, the least heaviness spoils it, the slightest stupidity brutalizes it.” If what she says is true, it’s bad news, isn’t it? She makes it seem like cultivating joy and well-being is a superhuman skill that few of us can hope to master. Personally, I am not as stringent as Yourcenar in my ideas about what’s required to generate happiness. But like her, I believe you have to work at it. It doesn’t necessarily come easily and naturally.

Most of us have never been taught how to cultivate happiness, so we must train ourselves to do it and practice diligently. The good news, Libra, is that the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to upgrade your happiness skills.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1891, a cultural organization commissioned Scorpio sculptor Auguste Rodin to create a statue of beloved French author Honoré de Balzac. The piece was supposed to be done in 18 months, but it wasn’t. For seven years, Rodin toiled, producing over 50 studies before finally finishing the piece. We shouldn’t be surprised, then, that one of his mottoes was “Patience is also a form of action.” I’m recommending Rodin-like patience to you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Yours will be rewarded long before seven years go by.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I am ashamed of confessing that I have nothing to confess,” wrote author Fanny Burney. Actor Jennifer Lawrence said, “I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for.” I nominate these two souls to be your role models for the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, you are currently as immune to karmic boomerangs as it’s possible to be. Your guilt levels are abnormally low. As far as I can determine, you are relatively free from having to answer to the past or defend your actions. How do you plan to make maximum use of this grace period?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “New truths become evident when new tools become available,” declared Nobel Prize-winning medical physicist Rosalyn Sussman Yalow (1921–2011).

She was referring to developments in science and technology, but I think her idea applies to our personal lives, too. And it so happens, in my astrological opinion, that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to acquire new tools that will ultimately lead you to discover new truths.

Homework: What’s the best blessing you could bestow on yourself right now?

“I feel ya,” said the gazelle. In a perfect world, lions would carefully inquire about a gazelle’s boundaries and politely skirt them rather than rudely “pressing their own agenda”: chasing her down and turning her into the brunch special.

Here in the less-than-perfect world, people, like lions, “press their own agenda,” which is why medieval castles were surrounded by moats instead of welcome mats. Annoying as it must be to kindly but firmly inform a man his interest is unwanted, men don’t -- as you put it -- “try to” interpret a woman “being nice as something more”; they’re psychologically prone to do it.

Research by evolutionary psychologist Martie Haselton suggests we evolved to make protective errors in judgment -- either underperceiving or overperceiving threats or opportunities, depending on which error would be the “least costly” to our mating and survival interests. For Joe Loincloth, the possible downside from overperceiving interest -- a woman jeering at him in front of his cave bros -- would’ve been way less costly than missing an opportunity to go behind a bush with her and maybe pass his genes on to future generations.

Since anger changes nothing but your blood pressure, you might consider a rethink.

If a guy isn’t doing anything rude or criminal (grabbing your boob or saying he’s gonna do you in the elevator), why not respond as you would to anything else you don’t want: with some version of “No, thank you”?

Treating a guy with kindness and dignity -- being politely firm -- costs you nothing and gains you a good deal: keeping the interaction from going ugly. You might also take a historical view: Consider how possibly unwanted remarks -- “You’re really pretty. Wanna have coffee?” -- have shaped your entire existence. “I think, therefore I am,” is a lovely sentiment, but the reality is more like “My dad had enough game to get my mom into bed.”

Among the tips strangely absent on those “Ways to Keep Your Marriage Alive” lists is “If you can’t say something nice, scream it at your wife.”

However, evolutionary psychologist Todd Shackelford finds that cruel putdowns are actually a “mate retention” tactic -- of certain men: seriously low scorers in the What Women Want department.

Women prize men who are kind, intelligent, emotionally intelligent, generous, and hardworking “providers” (“high mate value” men). These men have the emotional and financial chops to take the mate-retention high road: showing the wife she’s loved, romancing her with trips and gifts, listening to her, making her laugh, and always having her back.

In contrast, a typical lumpen loser “low mate value” man is lazy, selfish, dull, and unattractive, and has a low-paying, deadend job. He lacks the psychology and resources to “provide benefits” (make his wife feel too happy and loved to ditch him).

So, he’s prone to resort to “cost-inflicting mate-retention behaviors” -- verbal abuse or violence or both -- with the subconscious goal of making her too emotionally broken to leave.

When the abuse is verbal, evolutionary psychologist Aaron Goetz finds it plays out in four ways: cutting remarks about a woman’s looks, her intelligence, and her value as a partner and a person, and (often baseless) accusations that she’s cheating. The message -- because men evolved to prize beauty, intelligence, kindness, and fidelity in their mates: “No other man would want you.”

There is a pinprick of light in the gloom. Relationships researcher Jason Whiting reports that most women in abusive partnerships eventually leave -- often because they reach “a breaking point when the fear and pain” become “overwhelming.” Ideally, she’ll join that sisterhood -- sooner rather than later.

Sadly, right now, probably all you can do -- without possibly endangering yourself or her -- is hope for a brighter future for her: “Hold fast to your dreams, honey!

-- unlikely as it is that a random hit man will kidnap your husband and dissolve him in lye in a motel bathtub.”

I’m a woman in my 20s. I’m sick of guys who try to take my being nice as something more, turning that into an opening to press their own agenda. I’m angry at having to act cold and guarded to keep men from hitting on me (so I don’t have to lash out and tell them how rude they are). Being clear about my boundaries gets me called the “B word,” but it stops them from coming at me till I have to put my foot down.

ach January represents a fresh start, a new year, a new opportunity to set goals for the subsequent months and year.

Some people start the year with resolutions; others prefer a more long-term outlook of goal setting. Whatever the method is, it is important to set a roadmap on how to attain the desired outcome.

When the goal is to purchase a home in the next year, a key component is to break the ultimate goal down into manageable chunks.

The first is to determine the timeline for the purchase and put it in writing. Research shows that when a goal is written a person is as much as 42% more likely to attain the goal over those that are not written down.

The down payment, debt-to-income ratio and credit rating are all key factors in securing a mortgage. It can be very helpful when determining the path to homeownership to meet with a lender to discuss the goal of home ownership and what it will take to get there. A lender can serve as a guide to what type of loan program is best suited for the buyer, what improvements – if any, should be addressed on one’s credit and help determine the goal for the down payment and closing costs. Once these items are determined, one can begin to break them down into manageable chunks.

A buyer will need a significant amount of money to pay for the costs associated with purchasing, like home inspections and appraisals, as well as the closing costs and the down payment. Building one’s savings is a key component to attaining home ownership. Establish a budget and determine how much to save each month in order to reach the amount necessary to purchase a home.

Paying off debt and not acquiring new debt are key steps to establishing an

attractive debt-to-income ratio for a lender.

When setting the monthly savings goal, this is also a great time to establish how much debt needs to be paid off/down.

Check and track credit ratings. There are several free credit tracking programs available that can aid in guiding a buyer toward improving their credit. Setting a goal of disputing errors and cleaning up any issues and maintaining on-time payments will ultimately result in a better chance of qualifying for a mortgage.

Research the market. Once the down payment amount is determined and the budget is established, this will determine how much one can afford. By researching the market on home prices and areas, a buyer can then determine what their goal city, section or neighborhood is and begin to outline more specific goals.

Outline wants and needs in a home and write them down. For example, a buyer has always wanted to live on St. Andrews Way. What style of house on St. Andrews? Does it have a large yard or is yard work not a part of the vision/goal? What size home and amenities does one require? What amenities can one live without? Is a steam shower really a key piece of the homeownership goal?

Another key piece to is to determine what is this home to the buyer. Is this the forever home or is it a stepping-stone to get into the real estate market? Is this ultimately going to be a rental property after a few years? Determining what the long-term play is for the home will help to achieve an overarching focus for the homeownership goal.

Taking the pragmatic and specific goal-setting approach creates a path and plan to achieve homeownership within the desired time frame.
