or some people in the community, this past weekend was like any other—filled with lawn mowing, summer music, hanging by the shore of a Cascade lake. But for others, it was a weekend filled with fear and anxiety—heightened beyond the levels of uncertainty and dread that have been in place since the president and his administration began its campaign against undocumented Americans in 2017. This past weekend, the president and his administration made plain their intent to round up undocumented individuals, stoking extra fear in communities already ravaged by it. While no raids have happened in Central Oregon, and few have happened nationwide, the president also stepped even deeper into xenophobic rhetoric this week, when he launched into yet another tirade on Twitter, identifying four members of Congress— all women of color, all citizens, and three born in the U.S.—as “people who hate our country.”

On Monday, the administration also announced its new rules on asylum, which would require people to seek asylum in any country they pass through, and to be denied there, before seeking it in the U.S. That rule—which Mexico and Guatemala have already rejected—would effectively make it more difficult for people from other Central American countries, beyond Mexico, to seek asylum here.

Today, in this country of immigrants, our president is showing his intent in the next election to race to the bottom in “othering” anyone who doesn’t look like him, think like him or who has not been born in the same place as him.

If you believe the pervasive local “wisdom” that “Bend is so white,” then it might be easy for you to brush all this off. With a population of 9.1 percent Hispanic/Latinx people in Bend (according to U.S. Census data), it might feel easy for you to say to yourself, “it doesn’t happen here.”

But it’s in places like these that destructive ideals of otherness and exceptionalism can take root. It was in the small towns and farmlands across Europe where people elected to either comply with, or to resist, the powerful forces that raveged the continent and put Jews, Gypsies, intellectuals, homosexuals, political resisters and others in concentration camps. In post-WWII France, an artist walked through the countryside, asking people why they chose

to shelter Jewish families, or why they didn’t. The people who elected not to help said they “didn’t know the people” being persecuted. The people who said they helped did it because they said they “saw” their neighbors and recognized their pain and fear.

You have likely heard the words of German Lutheran pastor, Martin Niemöller: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

The president, with this week’s tweets, has begun to come for “us”— American-born and naturalized citizens whose crime is believing that the most American thing one can do is to work for justice, get elected, and to represent all people, not just one group.

This fight isn’t simply happening in Washington, D.C. It is in these places of relative rural quiet and peace that there is an opportunity to educate and inform families and friends who may not yet see the gravity of the mounting hatred in this country. We can help others see that pluralism and diversity are assets.

Organizers from last week’s local Lights for Liberty candlelight vigil, held in Bend as well as communities across the country, encourage locals to learn to become legal observers.

“Document any ICE activity, including stops, arrest, use of force and racial profiling. Remember you have a 4th Amendment that protects you. Without a warrant signed by a judge, ICE doesn’t have the right to search your private property,” the organizers wrote in an email to the Source.

Asylum seekers land on our shores because this remains a country that respects human rights and honors the rule of law. People willingly become citizens here because it is a country worth investing in.

All Americans have a choice right now—to “see” our neighbors, and to speak out against injustice. Avoiding risk will likely find one looking back and seeing themselves on the wrong side of history. As Ravi Ragbir, executive director of the New Sanctuary Coalition puts it, “To be silent is to be complicit. To sit this out is to be complacent.”

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

GUEST OPINION Like so many Americans, I am a descendant of immigrants. My family fled anti-Semitic persecution during the Russian Revolution and sailed to America with dreams of a safer world. My Jewish heritage has taught me to ask questions, to fight for social justice and to never forget the violence that defines much of my community’s resilience and humanity. These values call on me and other Jews to defend our immigrant brothers and sisters.

In Central Oregon, allies at Indivisible Bend and The Vocal Seniority have embraced this fight, while Representative Greg Walden has failed to take any steps toward reuniting families. Now is the time to demand more and stand with members of our global community who are suffering terribly at the hands of our broken government.

Gregg Heacock

Bend residents take part in the recent Lights For Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps, held in Orchard Park.

As the humanitarian crisis at the border has unfolded, we have witnessed inaction from Walden. In June, Walden backed a failed GOP bill that would have provided $25 billion for Trump’s border wall, cut legal immigration levels and ended preferences for migrants related to U.S. residents.

This week, Walden visited the concentration camps at the border. In a press release on Monday, he spoke of his reasons for the trip, but failed to make one comment on the conditions of the facilities or of his future legislative plans. The pictures in the press release were of him on an aerial tour of the border and him talking to CBP officers. Pictures of Walden in a helicopter might be pretty for the press release, but they are useless to the families suffering inside the facilities.

Additionally, while Walden is talking with officers of an agency plagued with abuse allegations, there is no evidence within the press release that he spoke to anyone being detained. This raises the question, what was the point of the visit?

Walden’s legislative approach to solving this crisis is not only ineffective, but exhibits ignorance of the root of the problems immigrants and refugees are facing. Walden blames complications from court decisions for separating children from their families, but his explanation ignores the role of the Trump Administration’s policy in creating the crisis. Walden is a hypocrite, preaching about illegal immigration on land stolen from Native Americans while he supports legislation to inhibit legal immigration. In addition, while Walden tries to keep immigrants out, he fails to ask why people are forced to flee violence and beg for safety at our border in the first place. Could it have something to do with United States foreign policy that has routinely prioritized U.S. business interests and contributed to instability in Central America? Could it be a result of U.S. support of dictators and drug cartels, like the CIA’s 1954 coup in Guatemala? The Jewish tradition of asking questions calls our community to delve deeper while we attempt to understand these injustices.

With these ideas in mind, we are now faced with solving this crisis. The Hebrew phrase “tikkun olam” calls on Jews to repair the world and describes social policy as a way of protecting the disadvantaged. It is everyone’s responsibility to demand action and create a social policy within our communities that is compassionate and accepting.

People across the country have begun taken action by protesting ICE detention facilities, donating to humanitarian organizations and expressing outrage in congressional offices.

It is time for Oregon to step up and cultivate a safe space for immigrants instead of complicit politicians. Please join this fight.

OREGON GOP SENATOR WALKOUT: AN OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR KNOPP

As your recent walkout illustrates, you could use a refresher course in Democracy. In a Democracy: Majority votes do rule.

Also, when you take an oath of office to represent your constituents, it is not limited to those who belong to the party whose ticket you ran on. Moreover, that oath obligates you to show up for work, not shirk your responsibility to represent your constituents because you imagine you won’t win. A recent article in The Nation, “Behind Oregon’s GOP Walkout is a Sordid Story of Corporate Cash” documents the facts, which follow. Oregon’s GOP Senators lied when they claimed they were sabotaging the vote on HB 2020 because this climate change regulation threatened the livelihood of loggers and truckers. Some of Oregon’s larger timber owners supported the bill, and compromises in the final version created exemptions and rebates for small business owners. No, your real loyalty was to big business donors like Georgia Pacific who put you and other Oregon GOP Senators into office with 65% of their campaign contributions. Finally, if you are going to commit an act of civil disobedience, be enough of an adult to accept the legal punishment prescribed rather than weasel out of it, or

worse, like GOP Senator Brian Boquist, threaten violence against the State Police who will honor their oath to enforce the law you have broken.

Bend's Core Area Inspires Ideas WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JULY 18, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Of those who filled out the City’s online questionnaire, most ID transportation as the biggest issue

By Chris Miller

nterest in developing Bend’s Core Area into an attractive area for living, doing business and traversing the city is increasing, according to reports from the City of Bend.

The Core Area Project includes four areas included in Bend’s 2016 Urban Growth Boundary expansion: the Bend Central District, Hwy 20/Greenwood and KorPine—as well as the Greater East Downtown, Wilson and Division sub-areas. The City has already invested in a great deal of planning for the BCD— generally located in the area between Northeast Revere and Franklin Avenues and Northeast First and Fourth Streets.

During the City’s quest to create a common vision and implementation plan for the Core Area, it’s had multiple public involvement periods, including six pop-in events in May, two in-person open houses in June and an online open house that concluded last Friday.

Although all comments from the online open house haven’t been compiled yet, Allison Platt, a senior planner with the City said “transportation

issues” was the most prevalent topic from the 373 people who filled out the questionnaire. Platt said that since the first of the pop-ups in May, more people have taken an interest in the project, and about 80 new people have signed up for updates from the City.

Platt said the City is in the process of compiling a summary report of public outreach efforts to date, which will be

housing projects, to develop infrastructure, and to secure funding strategies like urban renewal and possible zoning changes, to name just some of the goals.

Jake Ertle is a member of the group that owns the property on 3rd Street, where the Platypus Pub is located— which falls in the BCD area. Ertle said he’s been working with the City on development in the area since the implementation of the City’s BCD Multi-Modal Mixed-Use Area Plan in 2014.

“I love the concept,” Ertle said. “I hope it’s executed well, and I hope it happens sooner than later—and doesn’t turn into another Juniper Ridge.” Juniper Ridge is an area of city-owned industrial land on the north side of Bend, once the object

“I love the concept. I hope it’s executed well and I hope it happens sooner than later—and doesn’t turn into another Juniper Ridge.”

—Jake Ertle available inside the next Urban Renewal Advisory Board meeting packet, to be posted on the City’s website Aug. 6.

The purposes of the Core Area Project are vast. The idea is to develop an urban design framework for the area, identify how to enhance transportation—both for cars and cyclists/pedestrians—within the Core Areas and the rest of the city, to encourage affordable

of much speculation and development planning that never came to fruition. Last month, the Bend City Council appointed seven people to a new Juniper Ridge Management Advisory Board to reinvigorate the effort to develop the area, and to find out why past efforts failed.

In 2017, Central Oregon LandWatch—a conservation group located in Bend—formed the BCD Initiative,

intended as a platform to advocate for the Bend Central District. BDC’s projected outcomes for this year are to adopt a community vision for the Franklin Avenue corridor—including streetscapes and murals inside the underpass—and the creation of a pipeline for development project that furthers the BCD vision.

Bill Caram, the Orchard District Neighborhood Association chair, said the Association is a big supporter of the Core Area effort and hopes it leads to an adoption of an urban renewal district.

The Orchard District’s boundary includes the BCD. Caram said his association wants the plan to involve greater east-west connectivity for bikes and pedestrians, as well as more mixed-use development and affordable housing.

Larry Sidor, co-founder of Crux Fermentation Project—located in the KorPine area—said Crux is 100% behind the Core Area Project—if all new roads are built to City standards. Sidor said Bend has a serious east-west traffic problem, as well as a lack of contiguous bike paths. Sidor said most of what he’s seen so far in the Core Area Project will help address these issues.

“My favorite thing so far is making Southeast Aune Street into an east-west traffic corridor,” Sidor said in an email to the Source. “Prior to our friendly neighbors gating Industrial Way, there was a significant amount of local traffic using it.”

Flood Can’t Sink Library Lovers

Friends of the Bend Libraries lost its home and books, but comes back with new digs for its annual sale

7

By Chris Miller two book sales a year, with 100% of the proceeds going to improve the literacy and library services offered by Bend public libraries.

According to Bayard, book sales average about $20,000 a year.

“The money goes to literacy programs, the summer reading program, e-books that people check out and the general fund for the purchasing of books,” Bayard said.

FOBL also donates duplicate books to prisons and ships some off to coast-

“The money goes to literacy programs, the summer reading program, e-books that people check out and the general fund for the purchasing of books.”

—Toby Bayard period, it had gathered about 14,000 books, donated for its book sale happening July 20 and 21.

According to Toby Bayard, co-chair of Friends of the Bend Libraries Book Sales, in early April the group inked a deal with Bend-La Pine Schools to use a modular building on the grounds of Ponderosa Elementary School. The group took possession of the building June 20, and as of July 12, when the Source checked it out, the shelves were full of books and boxes ready to unpack for the upcoming book sale, happening on the school grounds.

Friends of the Bend Libraries started in 1980. The all-volunteer group does

al communities in need, according to co-chair Bill Borthwick.

Kathy Blake, whose 91-year-old mother, Kay Coyner, has volunteered with the organization since its inception, said the group has inhabited some of Bend’s more interesting places over the years.

Blake said the group started out in an attic, then a motel and the Quonset hut off Northeast Onley on First Street.

“There were five of us, with no heat and no restrooms,” Blake told the Source, while sitting in the Friends’ new digs at Ponderosa.

Old-school Bendites might remember the Fourth of July fireworks display at Drake Park. Blake said they used to

set up a giant tent in the park for their book sales. One year, a rain storm damaged the tent. Then, all the volunteers who knew how to erect the tent went away, so remaining group members had to find a new place for the sale.

Bayard said after this year’s snow-related calamity, the community came out en masse. Other Friends of the Library organizations—including the Prineville, Redmond and Sisters groups—donated thousands of books. Local businesses donated book shelves and lumber for stabilizing the shelves. Since the new space can’t have any holes in the walls, the shelves are stabilized by pieces of wood attached to the top, and local contractors have donated their time.

Bayard said people who have good used books they no longer need can donate them to Friends of the Bend Libraries.

Borthwick said the group looks for donations of “good books,” and will occasionally go pick up books from people who can’t drive or need other assistance.

Starting July 24 from 3:30pm to

5:30pm, people can drop off their books at the Ponderosa Elementary site. Donations run year-round on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30pm and on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm.

People looking for books, including children’s, classics, cooking, western and many DVDs and audio books, can shop the sale, which starts at 9am July 20 for FOBL members. Then it’s open to the public from 10:30am to 4pm; then on July 21 from noon to 4pm for a halfprice sale.

Friends of the Bend Libraries has 22 volunteers—and an average age of 70, according to Bayard. Borthwick said volunteers are always welcome. Those who volunteer for a day can go home with a new (used) book.

DIVING DEEP INTO THE HISTORY OF CRATER LAKE, OREGON’S ONLY NATIONAL PARK

By Magdalena Bokowa

“A

lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”

— Henry David Thoreau

Faultless perfection.

Soaring cliffs of snow-capped lava rock, emerald and golden green fauna, juxtaposed against richly colored aquamarine water and expansive sky. Standing still, some 8,000 feet high, the deepest lake in the United States plummets beneath, carved out in the belly of a volcano—all 5 miles of it— its essence neatly captured in the near-perfect reflection mirrored back.

A deeply spiritual site for the local Klamath tribes, it is awe-inspiring, breathtaking— and worthy of all the superfluous adjectives hikers, scientists and others bestow upon it.

And it also happens to be the only national park in Oregon.

At our doorstep “The summer is filled with sound,” says Michael Gordon, a world-renowned New York composer who spent the better part of a year creating an orchestral piece inspired by Giiwas, the indigenous name for the lake. Gordon assembled more than 40 orchestral members and Klamath tribe vocalists and drummers to record a piece celebrating the National Park Service’s centennial in the park.

“You hear birds chirping, you hear trees falling and snow melting, thunder and rain.” But as he points out, “You can’t understand this place until you come back in the winter,” noting that for nearly nine months out of the year, Crater Lake is buried underneath deep snow.

Its average snowfall is 43 feet per year, among the snowiest places in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of the Interior. It also happens to have one of the shortest tourist seasons—where the site is fully open—of any national park.

“It’s only like this, two months out of the year. Then it starts snowing...In the winter it’s so quiet, I could hear the snow land on my cheek,” said Gordon.

Filling a nearly 2,148-foot-deep caldera, Crater Lake lies in the depths of a dormant volcano known as Mount Mazama, once over 12,000 feet high. A cataclysmic eruption around 7,700 years ago blew the top off, spilling 30-milehigh columns of pumice and ash. Tons of molten rock spilling over caused the summit area to collapse, forming a volcanic depression—an effective catch basin for subsequent snow melts and rainfall.

Second in depth in North America only to Great Slave Lake in Canada, Crater Lake’s deepest point is 1,949 feet. Its unique, picturesque water clarity and blue hues come from an absence of silt. No river inlets or outlets means no sediment or mineral deposits are carried into the lake. The collected water is replaced on average every 250 years.

Native people have known of its beauty for thousands of years, referring to it as highly sacred, only to be used by medicine men and shamans. Non-natives began to know of it around 1853, first calling it Deep Blue Lake.

Clarence Dutton, who painstakingly recorded the lake’s staggering depth for the U.S Geological Survey in 1886, by rowing a boat for over a month, noted, “As the visitor reaches the brink of the cliff, he suddenly sees below him an expanse of

through the caldera. Many hikers choose to do an alternative trail, designed in 1995, looping onto the rim for 6 miles.

“The trail before there is dry and honestly not that memorable,” says Webster, “Until you get to the rim… A blue to make all other blues jealous. There’s a big dry stretch just after you go to the visitor center, so (our) packs were heavy with water, anticipating the 26 or so miles of dry trail ahead,” she recalls. “There were loads of people compared to other parts of the trail in the area, which as a thru-hiker can be a little annoying. Sharing trails is not our forte.”

Annual visitor numbers have surged more than 23% since 2015. Over 720,659 visitors visited the park in 2018—though in recent years, tourists have been

We’re told by our elders that it’s not a place to go and mess around. It’s a place to come for ceremony, or power, or if you need something.”

– Taylor Tupper painted inside the caldera, but you’re actually looking at the real thing.”

He even has a term for when visitors first see it.

“We call it the ‘sucking air’ experience. When people crest the rim for the very first time, you hear them catch their breath because it’s almost surreal,” he says.

Recollections and first impressions “Crater Lake must be seen to be appreciated properly. Photographs simply cannot depict the majesty of the lake in its setting, the depth of the blue.”

— Thomas J. Williams, former Crater Lake NP superintendent, 1968 “When you get to peer over the rim and see that water for the first time, it’s pretty show-stoppy,” says Jillian Webster, recalling her first glimpse of Crater Lake while she was hiking the entire 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail in 2015.

Though the PCT runs 33 miles through the national park, it doesn’t officially run

trending toward more off-season visits.

Roughly 74,000 people visited in the winter, compared to 110,606 between May and October. Overall, the park has seen a three-year decline in summer visitors.

Wildfire accounts for at least part of the shift.

Three wildfires have burned in remote areas of the park in the last two years. Nearby fires have also affected visibility in the region. In 2017, for example, hazardous drifting smoke caused the closure of more than a dozen trails.

“There was a lot of smoke in the area from other fires, and that was certainly impacting the park, but it was also impacting the region,” says Marscha McCabe, park spokesperson. “I think people kind of had the word that this part of the country was on fire, so maybe decided to go somewhere else.”

Sacred history Indigenous people have always regarded Giiwas as an important and sacred area, used for vision quests and

rites of passage for the Klamath tribes for thousands of years. Early written histories, recorded by the National Park Service, state that when early European settlers approached local tribes about the lake, “No one would acknowledge such a lake existed ...We learned from a medicine man that this place was looked upon as sacred, and death came to any Indian who gazed upon the lake.”

“My father always told me that Giiwas—which means spiritual place— is Crater Lake,” says Taylor Tupper, of Chiloquin, Oregon. Tupper is a member of the Steiger Butte Singers—a family drum and singing group with a special connection to the lake. “I go up there to gather healing and prayer.

“Because Crater Lake is in our aboriginal territories...We don’t go up there very often because it is a spiritual place. We’re told by our elders that it’s not a place to go and mess around. It’s a place to come for ceremony, or power, or if you need something.”

In drought years, for example, pilgrimages were made to Crater Lake and other places known for “powerful spirits in order to fill small skin sacks with water that was then poured ceremoniously over the marshes in hopes of restoring them to life.”

A peculiar 103-year-old discovery Though science is often pegged against the supernatural, Crater Lake’s resident aquatic biologist, Mark Buktenica—who’s researched the depths of its water for over 30 years and helped guide a Deep Rover research expedition—still has many unanswered questions. One of them involves a 30-foot waterlogged hemlock tree that has been mysteriously bopping around the lake for more than 100 years—vertically.

With the right wind configurations, the tree travels several miles around the lake daily. It’s almost completely submerged, except for 4 feet of it.

The NPS commissioned a study in the 1930s to track its patterns, noting that in one particular day, the “Old Man,” as it’s called, traveled more than 60 miles in one day.

When the Deep Rover expedition was underway, Buktenica notes that the Old Man was tied to the shore so as not to interfere with the scientists’ work.

When it started snowing in August, he says, “Our senior scientists went out quietly one evening and released him from his bondage…The weather cleared up right after.”

He laughs, “I think, maybe some questions should remain unanswered.

That maybe it’s part of the human condition to believe in a little bit of mystery and the interconnectedness of all things.”

The Klamath Creation Story of Crater Lake As told by Taylor Tupper “Monadalkni, the evil Spirit Chief of the Below World, observed a maiden of remarkable beauty named Loha, the daughter of a Klamath chief. Monadalkni dispatched his most trusted emissary, Skooks, to propose marriage on his behalf. Loha backed away in fear and cried out, “No! I will not leave my family, not to live in a mountain!

“Monadalkni shook like thunder and stormed off in a violent rage, throwing lightning bolts as he went, causing the mountain to explode with such great force, the top blew off. The mountain shook and the earth trembled until finally, K Muka Match—the Creator—forced Monadalkni back underground and collapsed the volcanic debris on the entrance to the underworld, creating a giant crater where the mountaintop used to be.

“As the rains came to fill the empty crater with water, the sacred lake became known as Gii-was, a holy place to the Natives, who kept the area a secret to outsiders for thousands of years.”

ultramarine blue of richness and intensity which he has probably never seen before, and will not likely to see again.”

Legend has it that when the first photographs of the lake emerged, film developers apologized to park visitors, noting they “must have oversaturated” the blue color in their prints.

They didn’t. “...It’s like a two-dimensional landscape painting from the romantic Western era rather than actual three-dimensional scene you’re looking at unfolding in front of you,” says Craig W. Ackerman, Crater Lake’s superintendent. Steward of the park for over 10 years, Ackerman adds, “When you see it in the summer, and the conditions are perfect, the water looks like it’s been

The Trifecta: Fatherhood, Nature and Music While he’s still a wild child himself, Brett Dennen now has one of his own

By Isaac Biehl 15

Source Weekly: Congrats on entering fatherhood recently. What’s that been like for you?

Brett Dennen: It’s probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it makes everything better. My cousin and I and some people went surfing today, and he had his kids, and my kid was on the beach and my cousin’s kids were out on the water. We were paddlin’ around, and everything is just way more special now.

SW: How do you think being a dad will or already has influenced your music?

BD: Definitely the most profound is the indirect. Like I said before, everything is more meaningful now. I used to just make music for myself, but now I’m doing not for only my own art, but as a means to provide for a family. There’s definitely a deeper layer to everything.

SW: A lot of your music represents a deep connection to the outside world and nature. Has this always been something you’ve been really passionate about?

BD: Oh, yeah. Always. I just grew up in a family like that. Outdoor recreation

Fun Fact: Dennen says he would love to get into the craft beer scene and open a brewery in the middle of nowhere. Possibly in a desert.

and outdoor stewardship has always been an important part of our family.

SW: You’ve even held environmental cleanups and other activities on past tours. Especially now, how important do you think it is to be aware of our impact on the Earth?

BD: Well, we’re in a time where the environmental issues that have been plaguing us for generations are accelerating. I mean, it’s now or never. It’s a time where I think everybody who lives on this planet needs to be mindful of our impact on the globe. I think the best way to do that is to actually get outside. Spend some time in nature and fall in love with nature.

Keep it wild. If our planet is healthy, we are healthy.

SW: I know you spent some time as a backpacking guide earlier in your life. Do you have any crazy stories from that experience?

BD: Yeah– Well, one time I had a group of teenagers and we were on an 80-mile hike that spanned over six days. We were about 30 miles in and one of our kids, he ran away. He found a trail to hike out of and he hitchhiked the road and got dropped off at a campground. He stole a bicycle from the campground, rode the bike down the mountain and then once he was in civilization he hitchhiked home. It was really scary.

SW: I remember you released– it’s probably been a few years now—but you put out these funny wilderness

tip videos on YouTube. Do you have any other real-life tips or hacks for camping or hiking?

BD: My number-one tip would just be to go minimal. The less you take with you the more you find uses for what you have, the more important what you have becomes and it’s just a better experience all around. It opens you up to having a bigger connection with nature.

SW: You just put out two EPS in 2018.

Are you currently working on anything or thinking of putting out an album?

BD: I am, I am! I don’t know what I’m gonna’ do. I have a ton of music that I’m writing. We were talking about doing an EP ahead of a full-length next year, but we just don’t know. I got a bunch of songs and I gotta’ record ‘em and figure out in what capacity we’ll release them. But yeah, I got new music coming down the road.

SW: How often do you find yourself writing? Every day?

BD: I try to, yeah. I try to write every day or when I have time. You’re just always writing, collecting notes or information in your mind, on a piece of paper or in your phone. Whenever my mind is free to wander it always goes to something musical. Or when the baby goes asleep, or I’m alone I pick up the guitar and just try to work the ideas out.

Tentareign currently has a fourth record in the can and fifth deep in the works.

B

end’s Tentareign are no strangers to the music scene here in their own backyard. Forming in 2005 and recording their debut album in 2007, the rock group has been making the rounds, performing tunes for over a decade. However, it might come as a surprise that they haven’t had an official release for their second and third albums (‘Infinity” & “Meridian”) until this year.

“We go big or go home.

So it’s definitely gonna’ be big.”

—Andy Hoard With the music for these projects originally being recorded in 2008, many Tentareign fans have probably already heard some of these played at the band’s live shows—but now you can find the album in a special double box set at Ranch Records, online at Tentareign’s store and for purchase at the band’s album release party on July 20.

“It moves every which way,” says frontman Andy Hoard. “There’s calmer stuff, there’s metal, there’s progressive rock. There’s funk, fusion.

It’s quite the package. It’s music we want to make. If people enjoy it, we’d be really stoked.”

With all the changes in life one has throughout the years, these

albums weren’t ever able to get fully placed together, even though the recordings were there. However, the wait makes this release that much sweeter in 2019.

“I’m not sure I’ve seen a double record come out in a long time. It’s kind of a classic thing to do,” Hoard says. “It is a relief. It kind of gets the ball rolling on everything else, too.”

The albums themselves are a fun listen. For the electric half, “Infinity,” you’re getting a pretty forward-thinking blend of rock for the time of its release. Then the acoustic side, “Meridian,” takes on a special bonus cover of “Cruel Summer,” which is a treat to hear in that styling and forces the band out of their typical comfort zones.

Saying Tentareign is pumped for its release show might be an understatement. Hoard says the band was actually just practicing the night before to get everything prepared for what’s to come. Joining them on stage for the high-energy showcase will be Scary Busey and Somewhere Between, two fellow local bands who fall right in line with Tentareign’s live stylings.

“It’s gonna’ be Tentareign style.

We go big or go home. So it’s definitely gonna’ be big.”

27 Years in the Sky

Darren Kling stumbled into ballooning, but it’s been smooth sailing ever since

27

By Isaac Biehl

Source Weekly: Before you became a balloon pilot, what did you want to do?

Or was that always in the plan?

Darren Kling: Well, the ballooning part wasn’t, but I was always interested in aviation. My dad was an airline pilot so that’s probably where it started.

I ended up not going to a flight school and just went to a regular university. A buddy of mine I met there had gotten into ballooning through his parents at a young age. I basically got into it through him and it just stuck. You’re out of school and trying to figure out what to do with your life and going out and flying balloons sounded like a fun thing to do. Didn’t know if it would last or not but here I am, 27 years later.

SW: Do you remember your first flight?

DK: I remember my first solo flight— which is always thrilling and nerve wracking at the same time. There’s something about being in a balloon for the first time by yourself that’s kind of spooky, because it’s so quiet. In an

Submitted

airplane you’ve got the constant groan of the engine and everything. In a balloon it’s just very, very still. My first flight was in Montana and I managed to get a good flight. But then the subsequent flights after that... it’s a steep learning curve, I’ll put it that way [laughs].

SW: Do you have a favorite flight or a specific route?

DK: A couple of my favorite flights have been these cross-country flights that I’d like to start doing more of.

Before I left Montana, I did a flight over Glacier National Park that was a pretty sweet flight. Done one over the Cascades as well. Those are really fun. The normal flight route I have– I fly out of Terrebonne and have a really awesome site area next to Smith Rock. The winds often take me to the Crooked River Gorge and we kind of fly the canyon. Out of all the places I’ve flown, where I fly almost every day is pretty hard to beat.

SW: Walk me through the mechanics of piloting a balloon.

DK: It doesn’t have any directional control on board. All of the control you have is up and down. You get different wind layers and they move at different speeds and directions at different altitudes. On the surface I might have a wind going to the west but up 100 feet I might have a wind that turns me more northwest, or north. You always have some options on board but it all depends on the winds. You’re working to get to areas that have decent landing zones.

SW: Everyone is always talking about the bird’s eye view. You get to see that all the time. What’s it like for you to experience that angle of the world so often?

Winds often carry Darren Kling and his balloon into the Crooked River Gorge.

Submitted

DK: You know, I never take it for granted. It does become, when I’m doing it every day– I do have a routine I get into. But I don’t take it for granted, the perspective that it’s giving me.

It’s something most people talk about the first time they’ve gone up. They’ve lived in the area all their lives and they go up and they’re a little disoriented at first. Because it is such a different perspective. I can’t honestly say how much it's affected how I view the world, really.

But I do art, I make paintings and stuff, so I think that perspective has definitely come through in the past. If it were visible anywhere in my life it would be through my artwork. It’s been great.

As the founder of Big Sky Balloon Company, Kling has flown his way all around the Pacific Northwest, along with some international flying in Costa Rica.

Once ballooning entered his life, it took Kling about two months to get his commercial license—and he hasn’t looked back since. He shares with the Source his perspectives from above, what it’s like learning to fly and how his favorite views are right here in Central Oregon.

Central Oregon and the Space Race High Desert Museum Opens Moon Country Exhibit

By Cari Brown Darris Hurst

In further celebration of this 50th anniversary moon walk, “American Experience” on PBS has aired a threepart documentary called “Chasing the Moon.” It’s now available to watch online at OPB.org or during its re-broadcast on Central Oregon’s local OPB station July 23 and 30 from 8-10pm.

Museum visitors can take in the "Moon Country" exhibit through November.

F

ifty years ago, on July 20, 1969, the Apollo Moon Module Eagle landed on the moon and Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong took some big steps for mankind.

To commemorate the 50-year anniversary of that event, the High Desert Museum has a new exhibit, titled “Moon Country: Ore-

The exhibit shows rarely seen images of astronaut trainees traversing the otherworldly basalt terrain of the Lava Lands, Paulina Lake and McKenzie Pass while situating the moon landing and Space Race in both a national and local context. While the U.S. govern-

…a sliver of Central Oregon lava rock made its way to the moon... gon and the Space Race,” which highlights Central Oregon’s role in training the astronauts of that era by exposing them to the area’s unique volcanic landscape. The idea was that Central Oregon’s landscape most closely resembled the landscapes astronauts would find on the moon.

ment was trying to beat out the Soviet Union, and the rest of the nation was working through issues of equality and poverty, Central Oregon was moving away from the lumber industry and laying the groundwork to become, inevitably, a tourist destination.

In 1964, Astronaut Walter Cunningham, in his pressurized suit, climbs a slope at the obsidian flow fields near Paulina Lake.

Writer Cari Brown gets to picture herself as an astronaut.

fantastic art project. If you believe, as I do, that art is an act—whether a performance, installation, or otherwise—by which something seemingly insignificant (a sliver of Central Oregon basalt, for example) is elevated to an aspirational level by placing it in a new or unique context (on the moon).

Another fun thing about the exhibit: Visitors can take a picture of themselves behind the cut-out of an astronaut suit with a lava field as the backdrop.

I Scream for Ice Cream

LITTLE BITES

From soft serve to gelato, find your dream cream nearby

By Donna Britt @donnabrittcooks

Homemade hand-packed scoops, available at Sno Cap in Sisters.

F

irst there was hand-cranked homemade peach ice cream at my Nanny Britt’s on summer Sunday afternoons. Then there was soft serve from my hometown Dairy Queen on warm, humid evenings after my little brother’s baseball games. Summertime conjures up fond ice cream eating memories, and constant cravings.

From homemade to soft serve to stir-fried (explanation coming) to gelato, Central Oregon has a little of it all. I’ve tasted every frozen confection in this article, so you’re getting first-hand reviews.

We’ll start with my first love: Homemade ice cream, which you can find in numerous flavors at the Sno Cap Drive In on West Cascade Avenue in Sisters. If you’re driving through Sisters on the main highway, look to your right before you get to the new roundabout and you can’t miss the white block building with blue and red trim. I go for two scoops; strawberry and Almond Joy (almond ice cream with coconut and chocolate chips).

Forget carbs, calories and sugar; we’re not counting.

Soft serve has been around since the 1930s in the U.S. and was invented either by Dairy Queen, Tom Carvel or U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (look it up if you don’t believe me). It’s softer and less dense than regular ice cream, thanks to air being introduced during freezing. Since 1957, Tastee Treet on Third Street in Prineville has offered creamy soft serve. As far as I’m concerned there’s only one choice and that’s half chocolate, half vanilla swirl on a traditional cone. Or get super nostalgic

with the old-fashioned Banana Split, made with soft serve or hand-packed scoops.

Two down, two to go.

Next stop, River’s Place food cart yard across from Costco in Bend.

That’s where you’ll find the Dreams Handcrafted Rolled Ice Cream bus every other weekend. Rolled ice cream is also known as stir-fried ice cream.

The fresh liquid ice cream mix is spread onto an extremely cold surface.

The mixture is churned and turned ( just like stir-fry) with two metal spatulas. Once solidified, the ice cream is flattened and then scraped into rolls.

The rolls are put into a cup and topped with goodies. Goodies can also be mixed in during the churning and turning process. May I suggest the “Go for Your Dreams” choice, with blueberries, banana, coconut and honey drizzle, or perhaps “Rising Dreams” made

with freshly ground Brewed Awakenings coffee beans. As exuberant owner Steven Nunes puts it, “Ice cream was made to be rolled!” Watching the rolling process is almost as much fun as eating the delicious ice cream. Almost.

This tour would not be complete without a trip to Bonta Natural Artisan Gelato. Whether stopping by the scoop shop in downtown Bend, or the new east side tasting room at 924 SE Wilson Avenue, there’s a grand selection of flavors to try daily. Give me their signature Dulce de Leche with Sea Salt any day.

Bonta owner Juli Labhart explains that the difference between gelato and American ice cream is less air and less butterfat in the gelato, which is also served at a warmer temperature than regular ice cream. Labhart and her husband, Jeff, fell in love with gelato while backpacking around the world. After training under Italian gelato masters, they began developing their own recipes using as many local, organic, fair trade ingredients as they could to make the highest-quality gelato possible.

With so many delicious choices out there, this is an official proclamation that Central Oregon is a bona fide ice cream mecca!

Food Preservation Hotline Open

Right about now, those gifted Central Oregon gardeners who can actually get food to grow in the dry, high desert climate may find themselves with questions about canning and preserving all that bounty the garden has brought. Coming to their aid is the Food Preservation hotline, courtesy of the Oregon State University Extension Service.

The hotline, which opened for the season on July 15, is open from 9am to 4pm Monday through Friday, helping people answer questions about canning and general food safety. After hours, people can leave a message. The most common questions involve preserving salsa, tomatoes and tuna—topics around which OSU-Extension has also put out a number of publications, including some in Spanish.

Meanwhile, OSU Extension’s Ask an Expert online service lets people ask questions and receive a response within 48 hours.

It’s Summer Meals Week in Oregon

Summer meal programs around the state help keep food in the bellies of kids who might not otherwise have access to adequate nutrition. But even with summer meals available to all kids, participation remains low.

According to the Oregon Department of Education, more than 300,000 kids are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch during the school year—but only about 39,000 kids participate in Summer Meals. To place more focus on the program, Gov. Kate Brown has proclaimed July 15-19 Summer Meals Week in Oregon.The Summer Meals program provides free meals to all kids ages 1 to 18, regardless of income or status. Summer Meals program sites in Central Oregon include the Boys and Girls Club in Bend, Bend High School, Pilot Butte Park, Kiwanis Park, Jewell Elementary, Al Moody Park and Mountain View High School. In Redmond, sites include M.A. Lynch Elementary, Sage Elementary and Redmond High (as well as others.) In La Pine, meals are available at the La Pine Event Center. Warm Springs offers one site at the Warm Springs Youth Center, while Madras offers sites including Buff Elementary, Jefferson County Middle School, Madras High School and Bridges High School.

A Southern Oregon Wine Infusion

Cork & Barrel features wine from Southern Oregon wine country

By Nancy Patterson, Eat Drink Bend

his year’s Cork & Barrel event, which supports the KIDS Center, will highlight the Southern Oregon wine region. The prominent wine and food event series features a different wine region each year, such as last year’s focus on the Sonoma Valley. Southern Oregon has been recognized as a prominent region to grow grapes on both the West Coast, and nationally. The oceanic winds and latitude creates European-like growing seasons that distinguish the region as an ideal place to grow grapes, according to the Southern Oregon Winery Association.

The three-day Cork & Barrel event will kick off this Thursday with the Winemaker’s Dinners at a variety of restaurants—each partnered with select participating Southern Oregon wineries. Locations such as Currents at the Riverhouse and 10 Below, inside of the Oxford Hotel, will present sixcourse meals that coincide with the wines of their partnering winery. A Sip of Cork & Barrel, which takes place Friday, will be hosted by Broken Top Club. This event is the most social of the three days; party-goers will enjoy small bites, presented by Bend-area restaurants, and mingle with participating winemakers. ‘Sip’ is a chance to learn more about the Southern Oregon wine region and taste one’s way through the evening.

The Grand Cru gala wine fundraising dinner will also be hosted at

The complicated business of naming beers

Gardens inc.

In-Stor Specia e ls

By Zach Beckwith, Head Brewer, Bend Brewing Company Photo by Blake Garcia

Beer names in the wild.

I

n the early days of craft beer, when the number of breweries in the country numbered in the hundreds, not thousands, naming beers was easy. With over 7,000 breweries in the country today and each one producing dozens of new beers a year, finding the right name has become increasingly harder.

The old idiom, don’t judge a book by its cover, could just as easily apply to beers and their names—but to be honest, who hasn’t been seduced by a colorful dust jacket or a whimsical beer name? People respond to a beer’s name long before they actually taste the beer, and it can often be the catalyst for what beer a person actually orders. Brewers know that a bad name can doom a great beer.

When most towns only had one or two breweries, local landmarks, favorite hiking trails and town history lent themselves naturally to beer names.

Think Black Butte Porter or Elk Lake IPA. Many breweries simply used the beer style as its name, favoring to highlight the brewery name instead of the individual beer. Think Bridgeport IPA (RIP) or Full Sail Amber. But as beer lineups expanded to include multiple incarnations of the same style, while new breweries continue to open, naming a beer became harder than creating a new beer.

The first challenge in naming a beer comes in finding one that hasn’t been used already, and not just used by another brewery. Cease and desist letters from corporate lawyers representing coffee companies, restaurants and wineries have become a far-toocommon occurrence. Crux was forced to change its flagship Outcast IPA’s

name to Cast Out IPA after running into a trademark issue in 2015, and they’re far from alone.

The next challenge is finding a name that resonates with people. While pop culture references and bad puns are increasingly popular, they don’t tend to age well. Silly names tend to signal that the beer itself isn’t to be taken seriously. Inside jokes may be funny to the brewery staff but don’t always translate to the general public and can even spark outrage. Riverbend’s unfortunately named Fudge Me Berry Hard created a swell of controversy related to its accompanying artwork (I’ll let you use your imagination).

Many other breweries have run into similar controversy over beer names that reference everything from gang violence to vile misogyny.

So what makes a great beer name?

My goal has always been to find a name that’s strong, easily remembered, speaks to both the brewery’s brand and the beer itself, and hasn’t been used by another brewery. Easy, right? Well, sometimes it is. Every so often, a name comes easily and instantly feels right, but those names are rare. At my workplace, we’re constantly adding to two separate lists, one for beers to brew and one for beer names, but the lists never seem to match up.

Finding the perfect name for a beer that won’t end in a lawsuit or social media backlash is just another challenge that breweries face in the ever-changing and highly competitive landscape of beer in 2019. What’s in a beer name? More than you would ever expect.

CRAWL: A house fills with water and alligators while a young woman and her injured father are stuck inside.

From the director of the terrifying remake of “The Hills Have Eyes.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DARK PHOENIX: Hey look, another adaptation of the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” a much beloved comic arc from the 1980s. I wonder if they’ll get it right this time? It can’t be worse than “X-Men: The Last Stand,” can it? Oh, sweet summer child.

It can always get worse…especially in Hollywood.

Thompson is a delightful one. Sadly, “MiB4” never really cashes in on their chemistry, instead content to coast on uninspired special effects and a very out of touch script. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX,

MIDSOMMAR: American tourists head to rural Sweden to participate in a pagan midsummer festival that ends up bloody and terrifying. Aside from being a great horror movie, the film also has a lot to say about female agency, grief, trauma and the co-opting of other cultures.

It’s also super gross. Fair warning. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema SPIDER-MAN: Far From Home: Marvel is fairly unstoppable at this point, so this new entry in the “Spider-Man” franchise could have Peter Parker sitting on camera reading “Twilight” and it would still make a billion dollars.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub STUBER: A surprisingly funny and violent time at the movies about the adventures of a cop who just had LASIK eye surgery getting driven around by a mild-mannered Uber driver named Stu who just wants to open an all-female spinning gym. It’s definitely as dumb as it sounds, but still entertaining. See full review on p35. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

TEEN SPIRIT: While the film tells a tale we’ve seen many times before, the central performance from Elle Fanning is astounding in this look at what makes a modern Cinderella story.

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM: A docu-

THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO: One of the best films of 2019 so far (and another winner for A24) follows a man who wants to reclaim the Victorian house his grandfather built. A very funny and moving film from astoundingly gifted filmmaker Joe Talbot.

Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2: The last one was surprisingly sweet and funny and this one looks like it brings more of the same sense of charm. Kevin Hart as a mildly psychotic bunny rabbit is about the most inspired casting possible, although with a voice cast also including Patton Oswalt, Hannibal Burress and Jenny Slate, the film knows how to play funny. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX TOY STORY 4: If “Toy Story 3” was about the very human fear of obsolescence, then “Toy Story 4” focuses on the idea of taking chances in life long past the point where we feel like we have nothing left to offer the world. These movies are dark and sad and weird. I hope Disney and Pixar keep making them—forever. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema.

YESTERDAY: Director Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting” & “Sunshine”) taking on the concept of a world where no one remembers the Beatles sounds perfect. His films all use music beautifully and his sense of color, light and frame are densely theatrical, so combining his visual style with the Beatles seems like a match made in musical theater heaven. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

MARY POPPINS RETURNS I just saw this for the first time recently and thought it was completely charming. It’s obviously nowhere near as good as the original, but it seems like a movie that will age very well with kids who didn’t grow up with the first one.

Also, are we ready to make Emily Blunt the biggest actress on Earth yet? She deserves it.

Damage SCREEN Collateral A great cast helps ‘Lyft’ "Stuber"

SC

By Jared Rasic Photo courtesy of Disney

Seriously though, “Stuber” might not be a great movie, or even one that makes much sense if you stop to think about it, but it’s fast-paced and entertaining without really aspiring to be much more than that. The combination of Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista is inspired and they have enough chemistry to carry the movie just on their relationship alone.

Really, the main issue with the movie is that it tries to justify too much of its plot with more plot. I get it, there have to be bad guys for this to be an action/comedy, but by the end we’ve seen double crosses, moles, set-ups and a twist ending…none of which the film needed. I get that the script has to justify Bautista needing an Uber, but Blind Bautista is funny enough that I don’t need all the fuss about why. Chekhov’s LASIK just didn’t work for me.

Aside from Nanjiani and Bautista, the cast is packed with unique comedic voices. Natalie Morales is one of the

It’s like "Lethal Weapon" if everyone was yelling all the time.

most comedic actresses of her generation. She’s plays Bautista’s estranged daughter, nothing more than a plot device. “Glow’s” absolutely hysterical Betty Gilpin is Najiani’s clueless love interest—also nothing more than a plot device. Mira Sorvino and Karen Gillen are given more to do than just dote over men, but still just service the story.

International action superstar Iko Uwais gets to be evil as hell and have a giant fight with Bautista, Jimmy Tatro from “American Vandal” gets to chew scenery and Steve Howey (“Shameless”) almost steals the whole movie as a male stripper with self-esteem issues.

They all have characters to play, adding dimension and shading to the world

*This paragraph should be read in that deep, gravelly voice that the guy who narrates movie trailers uses.

Vic Manning is a no-nonsense cop who can’t see much of anything at all.

Stu is an Uber driver who’s opening a women-only spinning gym called “Spinsters.” After Vic gets some poorly timed LASIK surgery, he commandeers Stu and his hilarious electric car to chase the deadly drug trafficker who murdered his partner. Then Vic yells like this: “RAWRRRRRR” and Stu yells like this: “EEEEEEEEEEEEK!” This summer, they’ll scream their way into multiplexes—two mismatched goofballs leaving a bloody swath of mayhem across the City of Angels and directly into your heart. *You can stop with the voice now.

of “Stuber” (can we call it the “Stuberverse?), but it’s almost like the women weren’t really allowed to come play.

With buddy comedies like “Stuber,” you already know the beats that are coming and that the heroes will learn valuable lessons throughout the film and change into better people by the end. The problem with that: It only gives Bautista and Nanjiani one note to play for the entire film. Bautista is angry and Nanjiani is scared. We’ve seen movies before, so we know that by the end Bautista will become more likable and Nanjiani will find his courage. But until then we have to deal with the characters literally screaming almost the entire time. Even at a brisk 90 minutes, that’s a long time to be yelled at.

I know I sound like a snob and that I hated the movie, but I really didn’t.

It’s a ton of fun to watch and only curdled, in retrospect, when I actually had to sit down and think about it. As annoying and imperfect as this movie is, I’d still watch Najiani and Bautista team up again, maybe as undercover cops on a cruise ship or as a pair of lovers mistaken for hitmen. Anything, Hollywood.

These guys are good.

East Trails Project Off and Running Madras COTA chapter creating multi-use trails for just about everyone, and every skill level

By Chris Miller

Madras became an official chapter of COTA in September 2018. Currently, the chapter has seven members, Morrow said. But, when it comes time to help build the trails, Morrow said the greater community pitched in.

“We’ve seen in excess of 100 folks that have come and helped out in different manners,” Morrow said. “The (high) school track team, and many individual volunteers and families, plus our core group.”

Morrow said because the property is mostly privately owned, they were able to use some non-conventional methods when it came to shaping the trails. In one instance, Morrow said they followed an old cattle path. In another, they used a local dirt bike (motorcycle) group to come roll the trail. That’s something they couldn’t do on U.S. Forest Service land, for example, where off-highway vehicle use is more restricted.

“What they did was basically simulate a thousand bike rides,” Morrow said.

“And what we laid out was amazing, it made huge progress in rolling the trail out. And then we re-adopted some of the same dirt bikers, who were interested in getting into mountain biking, as they’d crashed so many times dirt biking.”

Morrow said the current trail system included 5 miles of mountain bike trails and 4 miles of horse track and running track. The long-term plans are to extend the trail system east onto the Crooked River National Grassland.

Another group welcome at the East Trails System is e-bikers, which aren’t allowed in U.S. Forest Service lands that aren’t designated for motorized vehicles, or Oregon State Parks. Morrow said the

Above is a map of the existing bike trail system, located on the east side of Madras.

Madras trails were done with small design changes on the climbs and descents in mind for e-bikers and mountain bikers to be able to safely share the trails.

“That’s when your conflict could arrive,” Morrow said. “So taking a little actions in our design to make sure that the two users are going to easily be able to see each other and we’re not going to have crashes of that sort.”

Although the topic of e-bikers can get pretty heated and polarized between regular mountain bikers and e-bikers,

Morrow said an older volunteer came out to help and left an indelible mark.

“He is missing like three quarters of one of his lungs,” Morrow said. “He’s 80 years old and still rides a bike—and so he needs a little bit of help.

He’s older, but he’s still out there busting his butt, and you know, giving it 100%, and there’s just a whole bunch of riders who fall into similar categories.”

T

he land east of Madras is sparsely covered with juniper trees, sage and other desert plants. It’s great habitat if you’re a sage grouse, but maybe not the best place to create a biking trail system—at least to the untrained eye.

But, according to Central Oregon Trail Alliance’s Brennan Morrow, the dirt is primo for mountain bike riders, runners and horse riders.

“The soil is great,” Morrow said. “It means the riding here is quite a bit bigger window, because we have less snow, so you can ride later into the season and earlier in the season, and it looks like we’ll be proving that you can ride all the way through the summer.”

Instead of just a layer of dust covering rocks, the soil near Madras is more clay-like than other places in Central Oregon, Morrow says.

“What that means is it packs out really nicely, it also doesn’t dust out as badly,” Morrow said. “We’ve had some dry spells and it’s not dusty at all, and it’s not turning into duff or anything like that.”

Morrow said the trails are in their infancy, as COTA started building them after the winter snow melted off this spring. Although the trail system is mainly geared toward cross-country mountain bike riders, Morrow said there are some good flowing berms to ride, a bridge to nowhere and a jump line in the works for more advanced riders.

“We have something for just about everybody,” Morrow said. “If you’re a beginner you can just kind of hit the flat stuff, if you want to hit those berms up high and blast down low, more advanced guys can do it.”

An Extraordinary Event of Summer

Tortoiseshells and other butterflies are welcome visitors in Central Oregon

By Jim Anderson Jim Anderson

to keep the 18-wheelers going, the butterflies were so thick.

You’d think they live a boom-andbust lifestyle, but from my perspective, it seems to be boom and boom, one after another. As long as the Ceanothus is as healthy as it is, the tortoiseshells seem to just keep going.

Like many butterflies, such as the monarch, whose one “host plant” is milkweed, the tortoiseshells also have only one host plant, the various lilac species of Ceanothus, which we know here as “Snowbrush.” And this past winter and wet spring was really good to our Ceanothus, which was fortunate for the tortoiseshells; there were lots of green leaves for the caterpillars to munch on, and they ate so much of it they actually defoliated the plants in some areas.

There are other members of their biome that work on tortoiseshells as a food source. Sure, robins go after them when they emerge (but I don’t think they taste that good) and ravens will pluck them from the stems as they’re developing. Wasp parasites sneak in among the caterpillars just before they enter the chrysalid stage, laying their eggs on the caterpillars. Then the eggs hatch and the larvae enter the potential butterfly as it’s undergoing metamorphosis. The wasps eat the innards Jim Anderson

39 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 29 / JULY 18, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

O

h, boy, are we having fun! Right now, during these warm first weeks of July, the California tortoiseshell butterfly, one of the more dashing of the nymphalids, is popping out by the hundreds of thousands—if not millions —in the foothills of the Cascades, known as the Skyline Forest.

This beautiful butterfly has been flitting around this part of Oregon for the last couple of years in such numbers that many who noticed them wondered where they came from and why so many were here.

Actually, we haven’t figured out why they burst out in mass numbers in some years. I have a hunch it’s one of the intricate mechanisms nature has given them that keeps their numbers going and protects them from extinction. The last time these beauties reproduced in such numbers around here was back in the mid-‘80s. That was the first time I had ever seen such a phenomenon, and, to me, it was astounding.

I can’t remember dates as well as I’d like, but I can remember seeing them crossing Highway 97 south of Bend in such numbers they were splattered all over windshields and the front of cars and trucks. That year, I believe the California highway department had to install a special radiator steam-cleaning apparatus south of Klamath Falls

A just emerged California tortoiseshell, Nymphalis californica.

of the developing butterfly, then go through their own change and emerge as adults.

That was one of the big shocks my wife, Sue, and I received during the tortoiseshell explosion of the ’80s. I was watching for a butterfly to emerge from the chrysalides we brought home to document, but some of the casings didn’t split open and release butterflies. Tiny golden wasps emerged instead.

The antifreeze in their “blood” helps tortoiseshells survive winter.

The colder it gets, the better the antifreeze protects their innards. Those of us who heat our homes with wood know where they spend winter, as I see them hiding in my woodpile. To help them survive winter, I carefully move them into my barn and place them in out-of-the-way hideaways where I’d often find another tortoiseshell near the same spot.

The overwinter habit is why we sometimes see tortoiseshells flying on warm February days. You may wonder what they’re eating in spring, and if you follow them, you may see them up in the fir trees in your yard, nectaring on the needle secretions.

The tortoiseshell can be recognized by the top of its wings, which

are orange with black markings. The browns and grays of the underside resemble a dead leaf when the wings are closed. But to me I think it resembles the carapace of some tortoises I’ve seen.

Those orange and black wings sometimes confuse people and they call them monarchs, but there’s no relationship with those troubled butterflies, other than similar coloring.

And don’t get the idea these beautiful butterflies are limited to California and Oregon. Yes, the majority may be in California, but a California tortoiseshell’s habitat range stretches south from British Columbia to Mexico and east from California to Wyoming.

When California tortoiseshells experience a population explosion in the summer, and the weather is right, some have been known to travel east to Vermont, New York and Pennsylvania. On one rare occasion, a few turned up in Maine.

By the time you read these tidbits about this remarkable butterfly, though, the Skyline Forest bunch will already have completed metamorphosis and emerged as adults to fly off and begin exploring new places to make themselves at home—like your garden.

Action Plan for Building

REAL ESTATE LISTINGS Immaculate Single Level Townhome

Bend Climate Action Committee takes on energy use built or updated can rise to a new level of sustainability, locals can make significant differences in total energy use. The Climate Action Plan has a long list of suggestions to curb the building sector's energy usage. A few favorites include: Education & Awareness: This consists of educating or developing programs and trainings for builders, homebuyers and owners, realtors and college students about the benefits of energy efficient homes and how to sustainably meet home energy needs.

Programs & Tools: Create green home databases, provide expedited plan review processes for achieving a certain energy efficiency level, above code, or reduce parking requirements for energy efficient homes to allow for smaller lot sizes.

Financial Incentives: This is what we believe to be one of the biggest motivators for change: The numerous financial incentives. There are incentives aimed at developers that encourage net-zero or other efficient building standards, such as reduced System Development Charges, expedited permitting and property tax credits. Financial incentives should encourage renewable energy installation, connect SDC rates to house size and even provide grants to homeowners and businesses for energy efficiency upgrades.

This is only a sampling of all the beneficial suggestions in the committee’s plan. To view the entire Bend Community Climate Action Plan and have an opportunity to voice your thoughts and opinions (through end of July) visit bendclimateaction.participate.online.

“F

ire made us human, fossil fuels made us modern, but now we need a new fire that makes us safe, secure, healthy and durable.”

-Amory Lovins After Independence Day I was reflecting on our great nation. I’m mostly proud, but also wish we would do better. The continued use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas as the main sources of energy is unrealistic and unsustainable. Humans rely heavily on fossil fuels for nearly every need or convenience in our lives. Hopefully, people are doing their best on an individual level to reduce waste and limit energy use, but to truly create change, local governments must step in with large-scale efforts.

In Bend, a lot of people want to protect the city—the clean air and water, and to help create energy security for the future. The City of Bend, along with the Bend Climate Action Steering Committee, a group of community volunteers, has developed the Bend Community Climate Action Plan. This plan is intended to help the community meet the Bend City Council goal, established in 2016, to reduce fossil fuel use by 40% by the year 2030 and by 70% by the year 2050.

CASC has put together a suggested action plan encompassing four categories: Energy Supply, Waste and Materials, Transportation and Energy in Buildings. According to the Bend Climate Action website, energy used in buildings and homes makes up a whopping 67% of Bend’s entire fossil fuel use. If the buildings and homes being

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Meme Girls I keep reading about how detrimen-

tal social media usage is, with people avoiding face-to-face interaction and feeling inferior when they see everyone else looking gorgeous and having fabulous lives. Would you recommend taking regular breaks from social media?

— Instagrammer Girl Put on 10 pounds recently? No problem!

There’s surely an app that’ll stick your head on the bod of some 22-year-old actress who works out 13 hours a day and subsists on Nicorette gum and bottles of air blessed by monks.

Social media is often seen as Satan with cat memes. It gets blamed for everything from eating disorders to the decline in the bee population. But consider that how a person uses social media can shape how it affects them.

Psychologist Sarah M. Hanley and her colleagues note that there are two different kinds of social media users: active and passive. Active social media users create content and communicate with others. Passive users browse newsfeeds and posts without commenting. They’re basically read-only info consumers.

For both active and passive users, taking a vacation from social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram is a thing lately — the digital version of cutting out sugar (at least temporarily).

But is it actually a good thing?

Hanley and her colleagues blocked research participants’ access to social media sites for a week. They figured this would benefit passive users—the silent observers—giving them a break from the noxious barrage of how rich, beautiful, and successful everyone else seems to be.

In fact, passive users’ well-being wasn’t really affected positively or negatively during their social media exile. However, active users ended up being kind of bummed (or, in researcher terms, they had diminished “positive affect” — a decrease in positive, pleasant moods, and feelings).

This makes sense, because using these sites in an engaged way—when, say, a mob isn’t coming after you because you like your coffee “wrong”—can be a positive thing, increasing social connection. So when active users pull the plug on their social media, they separate themselves not only from the negatives but also from the social and emotional benefits of engaging with others.

In short, social media is a tool — same as an ax, which you can use to cut wood for a lovely campfire or to chase terrified teenagers through the forest.

You can choose to take an emotionally healthy approach to social media: be an active participant instead of a passive one by posting stuff or at least participating in conversations, even in small ways.

If somebody’s barrage of fabulosity gets you down, you might remind yourself of all the reality that gets cropped out — a la, “Here’s a pic of my boyfriend and me in Cabo for two weeks...during the 1 minute and 37.6 seconds we weren’t fighting. #Cabocouples #grateful #livingmybestlife”

Hint Julep My newly divorced

business colleague keeps asking for my hot friends’ phone numbers. I think this Amy Alkon is highly inappropriate. If things go badly, I’m stuck in the middle! I keep hinting that I don’t think it’s cool for him to put me in this position, but he doesn’t seem to be getting the message. Help.

— Stuck It’s so annoying when your colleagues leave their mind-reading helmets at home.

In such cases, there is a way to get your message across, and it’s by directly expressing it — in words. This is not exactly a mystery of the universe I’m revealing here. But like many women, you probably have a tendency to default to hinting and hoping for compliance.

This looks like a flaw in female psychology — until you hold it up to an evolutionary lens, as the late psychologist Anne Campbell did in looking at sex differences in assertiveness. Campbell explained that being direct—unambiguously stating what you want—can make another person angry and lead them to retaliate, possibly physically. A woman who is physically harmed might not be able to get pregnant or fulfill her role as her children’s primary caretaker, making her a genetic dead end.

So, women especially have been driven to protect themselves and their reproductive parts. Campbell believes this led to the evolution of female indirectness — not as flaw, but as a feature.

The thing is, the evolved emotions driving this behavior aren’t your master, and you don’t have to obey them. You simply have to be willing to pay the price of rebelling: feeling a little uncomfortable when you draw outside the evolved emotional lines. This just takes telling the guy “no mas.” He’s free to look up friends of yours on social media and contact them there if he wants, but he needs to stop asking you for their numbers. You’re down with bringing in more clients, but you draw the line at acting as the corporate recruiter for his penis.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I want to do things so wild with you that I don’t know how to say them.” Author Anaïs Nin wrote that in a letter to her Capricorn lover Henry Miller. Is there anyone you could or should or want to say something like that?

If your answer is yes, now is a good time to be so candid and bold. If the answer is no, now would be a good time to scout around for a person to whom you could or should or want to say such a thing. And if you’d like to throw in a bit more enticement, here’s another seductive lyric from Anaïs: “Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.”

the story about the California mom who started a series of forest fires so as to boost her son’s career as a firefighter? She is an apt role model for behavior you should diligently avoid in the coming weeks. It’s unwise and unprofitable for you and yours to stir up a certain kind of trouble simply because it’s trouble that you and yours have become skilled at solving.

So how should you use your problem-solving energy, which I suspect will be at a peak? I suggest you go hunting for some very interesting and potentially productive trouble that you haven’t wrangled with before—some rousing challenge that will make you even smarter than you already are.

The Bard enrolls in a night school class about his own plays—and proceeds to flunk the course. Modern ideas and modes of discourse are simply too disorienting to him. He is unable to grasp the theories that centuries’ worth of critics have developed about his work. With this as a cautionary tale, I invite you to time-travel not four centuries into the future, but just ten years. From that vantage point, look back at the life you’re living now.

How would you evaluate and understand it? Do you have any constructive criticism to offer? Any insights that could help you plan better for your long-term future?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to buy yourself toys, change your image for no rational reason, and indulge in an interesting pleasure that you have been denying yourself for no good reason.

In addition, I hope you will engage in at least two heart-to-heart talks with yourself, preferably using funny voices and comical body language. You could also align yourself gracefully with cosmic rhythms by dancing more than usual, and by goofing off more than usual, and by wandering in the wilderness and seeking to recapture your lost innocence more than usual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Although you’ll never find an advertisement for Toyota or Coca Cola or Apple within my horoscope column, you will find hype for spiritual commodities like creativity, love, and freedom. Like everyone else, I’m a huckster. My flackery may be more ethical and uplifting than others’, but the fact is that I still try to persuade you to “buy” my ideas. The moral of the story: Everyone, even the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, is selling something. I hope that what I’m saying here purges any reluctance you might have about presenting yourself and your ideas in the most favorable light. It’s high time for you to hone your sales pitch; to explain why your approach to life is so wise; to be a forceful spokesperson and role model for the values you hold dear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are growing almost too fast, but that won’t necessarily be a problem—as long as you don’t expect everyone around you to grow as fast as you. I suspect that you also know almost too much—but I don’t anticipate that will spawn envy and resistance as long as you cultivate a bit of humility. I have an additional duty to report that you’re on the verge of being too attractive for your own good—although you have not yet actually reached the tipping point, so maybe your hyper-attractiveness will serve you rather than undermine you. In conclusion, Scorpio, I invite you to celebrate your abundance, but don’t flaunt it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The snow leopards of Central Asia crave a lot of room to wander.

Zoologists say that each male prefers its territory to be about 84 square miles, and each female likes to have 44 square miles. I don’t think you’ll require quite that vast a turf in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But on the other hand, it will be important not to underestimate the spaciousness you’ll need in order to thrive. Give yourself permission to be expansive.

43 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 29 / JULY 18, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): What would you say if I asked you to tell me who you truly are? I wouldn’t want to hear so much about your titles and awards. I’d be curious about your sacred mysteries, not your literal history. I’d want to know the treasured secrets you talk about with yourself before you fall asleep. I’d ask you to sing the songs you love and describe the allies who make you feel real. I’d urge you to riff on the future possibilities that both scare you and thrill you. What else?

What are some other ways you might show me core truths about your irrepressible soul? Now is a good time to meditate on these riddles.

2019

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Did you hear

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The heroine of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is curious, adventurous, and brave. First she follows a well-dressed rabbit down a rabbit hole into an alternate universe. Later she slips through a mirror into yet another parallel reality. Both times, with great composure, she navigates her way through many odd, paranormal, and unpredictable events. She enjoys herself immensely as she deals with a series of unusual characters and unfamiliar situations. I’m going to speculate that Alice is a Pisces. Are you ready for your very own Alice-in-Wonderland phase? Here it comes!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An Aries reader sent me a boisterous email. “I was afraid I was getting too bogged down by my duties,” he said, “too hypnotized by routine, too serious about my problems. So I took drastic action.” He then described the ways he broke out of his slump. Here’s an excerpt: “I gave laughing lessons to a cat. I ate a spider. I conducted a sneezing contest. I smashed an alarm clock with a hammer. Whenever an elderly woman walked by, I called out ‘Hail to the Queen!’ and did a backflip. I gave names to my spoon (Hortense), the table (Beatrice), a fly that was buzzing around (Fallon), and a toothpick (Arturo).” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aries, you’d be wise to stage a comparable uprising.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Welcome home, homegirls and homeboys. After observing all your homesteading in homes away from home, I’m pleased to see you getting curious about the real home brew again. I wonder how many times I’ll say the word “home” before you register the message that it’s high time for you to home in on some homemade, homegrown homework? Now here’s a special note to any of you who may be feeling psychologically homeless or exiled from your spiritual home: the coming weeks will be a favorable time to address that ache and remedy that problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The world is full of eternally restless people who seethe with confused desires they don’t understand. Fueled by such unfathomable urges, they are driven in unknown directions to accomplish fuzzy goals. They may be obsessed in ways that make them appear to be highly focused, but the objects of their obsession are impossible to attain or unite with.

Those objects don’t truly exist! I have described this phenomenon in detail, Gemini, because the coming months will offer you all the help and support you could ever need to make sure you’re forever free of any inclination to be like that.

Homework: Name something you could change about yourself that might enhance your love life. Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

Gucci Mane took the top honors with 313 songs that mention cannabis.

I

t’s summer—which means getting together with friends and family, some who partake, and partaking with those who do. Do you have a playlist for these times? Much like a joint, it would be much cooler if you did have a banging summer soundtrack with you at these BBQs, parties and al fresco sessions.

A cannabis-themed collection of cuts from artists inevitably include chestnuts such as “Legalize it,” “I Got Five On It,” or virtually anything from Snoop Dogg. Compiling a list of all the songs I could think of which had a reference to cannabis in some form—growing, smuggling, consuming, selling—quickly became a lengthy yet enjoyable YouTube rabbit hole session.

Cannabis is referenced in nearly every musical genre, save for Christian music. As far as that last category goes, there may pro-weed Christian artists of which I am not aware, but the “Puff Puff Pray” tracks appear few and far between.

Hip-hop has, by far, the greatest number of cannabis references, and underscores what a crucial role hip-hop has played in normalizing cannabis. Example? A recent Oreo cookie commercial features well-known weed baron Wiz Khalifa, who has his own cannabis products line and his too-cute-for-words offspring. This from the man who once spit “Smoking my ganja public, I’m all about that money / Dress like everyday sunny / Rolling weed like a Marley.” As someone who’s eaten multiple sleeves of Oreos while high, Nabisco made a great choice.

Killer Mike, part of the duo Run the Jewels, made an eloquent case that hiphop is under-credited for its role in cannabis legalization. As Merry Jane reports, he stated during a recent appearance that, “We know that with national decriminalization of marijuana now, a lot of people are going to get credit for it—a lot of activists, a lot of workers...But I can show you a line that leads straight back to Cypress Hill, that leads straight back to Snoop Dogg, that leads straight back to people like Rick James.”

He’s correct, and hip-hop artists’ enjoyment and advocacy of cannabis

is explored in a great piece on Medium, which combined three of my fav-or-ite things: Weed, hip-hop and pushing- glasses-up-bridge-of-nose level of statistical geekery. The writer used an n-gram analysis of Rap Genius to explore the number of times individual artists referenced cannabis, and it’s on par with how often modern country references “trucks” and “dusty roads.” (As the piece was published in 2015, some of your more stoned bangers won’t be listed.) This should help give you some ideas for the aforementioned playlist.

The top 10 hip-hop artists, based on their mention of cannabis: 1) Gucci Mane - 313 songs/52.78% of all songs 2) Wiz Khalifa - 247 songs/69.97% of all songs 3) The Game - 214 songs/49.54% of all songs 4) Curren$y - 204 songs/67.33% of all songs 5) Snoop Dogg - 159 song/46.36% of all songs 6) Mac Miller - 136 songs/50.56% of all songs 7) Lloyd Banks - 125 songs/64.10% of all songs 8) E-40 - 122 songs/52.81% of all songs 9) Redman - 113 songs/70.19% of all songs 10) Raekwon - 112 songs/48.91% of all songs

That list is for solo artists. Here’s a list of some hip-hop bands fond of the cheeba cheeba: Three 6 Mafia - 117 songs, 54.17% of all songs Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - 106 songs, 50.24% of all songs Kottonmouth Kings - 89 songs, 80.91% of all songs Cypress Hill - 85 songs, 50.60% of all songs The article also mentions, “The states that have most weed songs, and yet weed is still illegal, are Louisiana (1,358 songs), Texas (1,186 songs) and Pennsylvania (1,027 songs).” They concluded that “almost all states that have either legalized marijuana for medical use or decriminalized the possession have artists rapping about weed,” and “There ain’t a lot of rappers from states that legalized marijuana for recreational use, and they rarely rap about it.”

So burn one down, and start creating your own “tunes to toke” playlist.
