icture this: A city gets nearly $200 million in bond funds. Two years after the vote that ushered it in, little has been accomplished. There’s no solid location for the project in question. The people involved in the decision making can’t even agree on what the project should be. And so the money sits while taxpayers shell out for something that will take years to come to fruition, if at all. Using the ample evidence found on social media regarding issues where the City of Bend stumbles, if this were an issue of theirs we were describing, Central Oregonians would be lighting up with ire over a debacle like the one described. People would call for resignations. They’d demand recalls. They’d blame everything on the libs or the far right or whoever represents the opposite of their own political ideology. In short, there would be words. But in this case, it’s not the City that’s embroiled in such a debacle, but the Deschutes County Public Library, and its meandering quest to build a central library. Approximately $195 million in bond funds, approved by voters in 2020, hang in the balance. The library promised to spend these funds on both a central location of approximately 100,000 square feet, plus the expansion of libraries in East Bend, La Pine, Redmond, Sisters and Sunriver. First, library board members argued—both pre- and post-vote, about whether a central library was the thing to build. Then DPL bought land off Robal Road to build it. Then the City Council said no—a master plan was needed for that area of town before anything could go in. So DPL changed course. Now, it’s announced that the new proposed location is off 27th Street on the east side of Bend—central to no one but the future residents of Bend, who will inevitably gobble up lands and build to the far east. The proposed location is not central for people in La

Pine or Redmond or Sisters or Sunriver—all Deschutes County residents too, most of whom at least would not have had to travel far into Bend had the first location been properly vetted and its infrastructure in place. With the new proposed location, we now know what was pretty clear during the library board squabbles: this central library was always going to be in Bend, and mostly for Bendites. Some readers might be blasé about this. “It’s just the library,” after all. But the disagreements and missteps on behalf of the library board and its leadership are becoming costly. One might call this a massive disaster with hundreds of millions of taxpayer money hanging in the balance. Still, Bend is good at this type of protracted teeter-totter when public funds are in question. If you want evidence, just look at the way city leaders and wealthy private landowners have treated Mirror Pond. While that issue has never been put to a formal vote, “whether to dredge, set free or leave Mirror Pond alone,” it is a game of Groundhog Day every couple of years. Some eight years ago, a survey showed a slim majority wanting to free the river to its natural state and remove the Newport Dam. Some four years ago, private citizens wanted to muster public funds to dredge. Two years or so ago, the fish passage people piped up. Right now, a fish passage committee is developing recommendations that the City Council can decide to completely toss out if they so desire. Is this the type of legacy our community wants to be known for? In a hierarchy of needs, libraries don’t represent a threat to life or limb if they’re not there. But this costly and unfortunate disaster surrounding funds that voters have already approved should be cause for more concern by county residents than it is currently garnering.

RE: TRIPPING OVER THE DETAILS NEWS, 7/14

—Mary Fleischmann, retired and ongoing hippie

A HOME ENERGY SCORE IS A WIN-WIN FOR BEND A recent letter to the Source Weekly mentioned that the mandatory Home Energy Score (HES) program being considered by the City Council was, in their words, “superfluous.” The home seller could “provide 12 months of utility bills which show the actual energy costs of operating the home.” This is not the case. In reality, sharing a year’s worth of utility bills with potential buyers only reveals how the previous occupants used their home relative to energy and has nothing to do with measuring the home’s energy efficiency. The HES uses a score ranging from 1 to 10 where a 10 represents the most energy efficient homes (with a five being average). The scoring criteria are based upon a calculation of a variety of measurements of a home’s structure and mechanical systems such as its insulation level, windows, heating system, cooling system, the hot water system, among other features. These criteria reflect the actual efficiency and cost of energy in the home. The Oregon cities of Milwaukie, Hillsboro and Portland all have mandatory Home Energy Score programs in place. Currently, the cities of Corvallis, Eugene, Gresham, and Hood River are in various stages of adopting Home Energy Score policies (Oregon Dept. of Energy). Simply put, the Home Energy Score system adds transparency and credibility to the information needed when purchasing a home, while moving Bend towards a cleaner and healthier community. It is a win-win deal. Research Home Energy Score: US Dept. of Energy, Oregon Dept. of Energy and Earth Advantage. —Russ Donnelly

E-BIKES AND TRAFFIC CIRCLES Please forgive me as I am having a hard time understanding this. If I understand correctly a crosswalk is for walking, it is not for riding bikes, scooters, cars, motorcycles etc. Foot traffic is for crosswalks and sidewalks. I’m pretty sure this is the law somewhere? (Correction: See editor’s note below.) It is also my understanding from the latest article in the news that electrically powered bicycles should not be operated by people under the age of 16. Obviously neither of these laws are being enforced, I would think that the least that the police department and city could do would be to educate the public. I would think one of the worst things that the city could do would be to have the city engineering department complete the newest traffic circle with a bicycle lane that impedes the flow of traffic just as if a bicycle rode on the crosswalk. I feel I am just as guilty as everybody else, my son and I built an electric powered mini bike as a project that he could ride to school. He has not been riding it, and I did not realize that he needed to be 16. My apologies. I was at a friend’s BBQ recently and there were four adolescents under the age of 16 all sporting road rash from crashing on their e-bikes. I’m sure everybody here reading this has come across someone on a bicycle, E bike, E scooter, or even their feet that don’t even know how to navigate our converging paths.

City of Bend leadership and police department, can you please educate the public? —Kit Blackwelder

Kit: Thanks for your letter. You get the Palate gift card! Regarding bikes on the sidewalk: According to the City of Bend code, updated in 2010: “Bicycles shall not be ridden on a sidewalk in the Downtown District described in section 6.190 or in the Centennial Parking Garage.” (That goes for skateboards, scooters and roller skates, too.) Beyond that, we double-checked with the City, and there’s no restriction on riding bikes on the sidewalk outside of downtown—but e-bikes are not allowed on sidewalks within the city. And until Bend has more protected lanes that help promote safe divisions between cars and bikes, the not-so-busy sidewalk next to the busy street seems like a pretty good place to be for those more cautious riders. —Nicole Vulcan

Congrats to 25 years – I moved here well before you guys or KPOV arrived which was long overdue. I want to respond to the two articles regarding psilocybin. While yes it was voted to make it legal, there still is more work that needs to happen regarding place, who can legally administer it, etc. – It is a process! The City established an advisory committee when legalization of marijuana came into place. So here we go again with the County Commissioners looking at opting out, which they did initially with marijuana and then years later fought to opt back in. The other article about the “Proto-Psilocybin” does concern me. Really psychedelic guides???? And they are qualified how? “Nobody on our team is a licensed mental health professional.” Personally, they should be worried about the issue of liability. Who then monitors how much a client administers to themselves, as well as the source of the psilocybin. Back in the day, and I’m aging myself, when Acid was “clean,” to do your trip you maybe had someone who was the “sober” person to make sure everyone was safe. That being said, you decided what your “trip” was going to be, not someone else defining that for you. That being said, once you experienced a bad trip due to poor quality that was it—at best for me. I think people need to tread carefully with this idea of someone, not qualified to “guide you” with your trip/experience. Just saying.

Letters must be received by noon Friday for inclusion in the following week’s paper. Please limit letters to 250 words. Submission does not guarantee publication. Opinions printed here do not constitute an editorial endorsement of said opinions. Letter of the week receives $5 to Palate!

Oregon’s Chief Justice demands plan to address public defender shortage as the state is sued over failing to provide attorneys to low-income defendants By Jack Harvel

n July 13 Oregon’s Public Defense Services Commission convened to take the first steps on plans to reform Oregon’s public defense system. As of July 8, there were 39 unrepresented people incarcerated in Oregon jails and 65 out-of-custody people who’ve been arraigned without representation. Anyone charged with a criminal offense who proves an inability to pay for an attorney is entitled to a public defender, but studies show there are too few doing too much. In January the American Bar Association released a two-year study suggesting that Oregon had 31% of the full-time attorneys needed to adequately represent their clients. A 2019 study from the Sixth Amendment Center found the state’s public defender system unconstitutional. Public defenders represent about 90% of defendants in criminal cases in Oregon, and if no public defenders are available to represent someone it’s considered a violation of the Constitution’s Sixth Amendment, which guarantees assistance of counsel and a speedy public trial. People working in the court system have seen the underfunding of public defense for years, but the number of people without counsel has propelled the effort to reform the public defender system. “PDSC is reliant on the Oregon Legislative Assembly for the funds necessary to meet its obligations, and, for too long, those funds have been insufficient. Oregon’s public defense system has been underfunded, and trial-level public defense attorneys have been underpaid,” wrote Martha Walters, chief justice of Oregon’s Supreme Court, in a letter to PDSC. “That is a long-term problem, in need of a long-term, systemic solution. Currently, a legislative workgroup is working on those long-term solutions.” Stephen Singer, the executive director of the PDSC, agreed with Walters and accused the Oregon legislature of being unwilling to pass reforms that address public defenders being overworked and underpaid, leading to

a shortage. In March the legislature gave $12.8 million to the Office of Public Defense Service to hire an additional 36 attorneys, and in April Gov. Kate Brown and the Oregon Judicial Department launched a workgroup to analyze Oregon’s public defense system. Walters reported several ways she’s attempted to alleviate the crisis in her letter, including relaxing the Oregon State Bar’s admissions to recruit out-of-state attorneys, encouraging more case resolution and calling for volunteers to take cases. These steps have made some progress, Walters said, but haven’t been sufficient. “The current problem is there are unrepresented defendants. It’s current, it’s urgent and our plan should be to solve that. We need to collaborate with everybody, we need to do it as soon as possible because this plan needs to be implemented as soon as possible,” PDSC board member Thomas Christ said at its meeting on July 13. The state’s ability to represent clients is already being challenged. In May four Oregonians filed a class action lawsuit over its failure to provide a defense attorney, naming the state, Brown and Singer as defendants. “There’s a lot of uncertainty for everyone, and that’s part of what’s so stressful about this for people—is that they keep being given another court date for a hearing. In some counties it’s every four weeks, in others it’s every six weeks. And then they just come back and all over again, the judge says, ‘Sorry, we just don’t have an attorney for you, here’s another court date,’” said Ben Haile, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs in the class action case. Haile works for the Oregon Justice Resource Center, a legal rights organization that focuses on low-income and underserved populations. He said he hopes the lawsuit motivates politicians to take the public defense crisis seriously after decades of watching the system drag along. The goal isn’t just to provide funding to hire the three times as many attorneys suggested

in the ABA report, but to rein in excessive incarceration. “Even if we could triple the number of public defenders, that would just allow this overgrown system of high rates of prosecution and mass incarceration to keep growing,” Haile said. “Instead, prosecutors need to look at real alternatives that do work well to lower crime rates and invest in communities and invest in making everyone safer and getting people who are on a bad path back onto a better track.” Those alternatives include diversion programs, treatment programs, cognitive behavioral therapy programs and homeless services. The U.S. incarcerates more people than any other country in the world both in total and per capita. A Brennan Center report estimated that 39% of federal prisoners could be released with little public safety rationale. The brunt of mass incarceration has fallen on Black people, who are charged at higher rates than white people and other minorities. “African Americans have even higher rates of reliance on public defenders than average. Also, because Black people tend to be held in pretrial detention at higher rates. That’s one of the key areas where people are harmed by not being able to get a public defender,” Haile said. “If they had an attorney, that person could do the initial sort of investigation and legwork to file a motion to lower the bail or have the release conditions changed to supervised release.” The crisis among public attorneys is most acute in Douglas, Multnomah and Washington Counties where 10 or more people are being held without representation. Deschutes Defenders, who represent about 2/3 of public defense cases in Deschutes County, said they didn’t experience quite the pressure that those counties did when speaking to the Source in February, but as of July 8 there was one unrepresented person in custody in the county.

More Executives Out at St. Charles

St. Charles lost three executives in the last week as the health care provider struggles to overcome its pandemic-related financial deficit

t. Charles Health System eliminated two executive positions on Friday, just three days after its CEO and president, Joe Sluka, announced his resignation. The nonprofit hospital system says it’s eliminating the two positions to cut costs as it reports a loss of $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, according to the Oregon Health Authority. The hospital system has operated on tight margins since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. It posted its highest reported operating margin in 2019, bringing in nearly $57 million, but in 2020 it only earned $1.4 million after expenses, and in 2021 St. Charles reported more than $14 million in losses. The role of executive vice president and chief physician executive, both held by Dr. Jeff Absalon, as well as the senior vice president of strategy, held by Rod Marchiando, will be vacated by Aug. 1. St. Charles’s most recent public tax forms show Absalon made just over $600,000 in 2019, while Marchiando earned over $381,000 in the same year. Dr. Steve Gordon, the interim president

and CEO of St. Charles, thanked the outgoing executives for their work and wished them well in their next endeavors. Absalon and Marchiando are the first executives to go as the hospital addresses its funding crisis, but in May St. Charles laid off 105 people and eliminated 76 vacant positions. St. Charles said the positions were mostly non-clinical in areas like finance, IT and human resources. It’s still aggressively

hiring for clinical roles but is struggling to fill positions at pre-pandemic costs. A March report from Kaufman Hall, a financial advisory firm, tracked a 37% increase in per-patient labor costs between March 2019 and March 2022, and contract labor — like traveling nurses — increased from 2% of labor expenses to 11%. Though there’s a funding crisis at many hospitals, many St. Charles employees put some blame on decisions

made before and during the pandemic. In June nearly 300 St. Charles employees, consisting of physicians, nurse practitioners and other health care workers, announced their intention to join the American Federation of Teachers Union, the United States’ second largest teachers union that includes about 20,000 health care professionals. In a press release Central Oregon Providers Network said it’s not seeking a union to secure better pay or benefits, but to increase the staff’s say in the decision-making process. “With a union, St. Charles will no longer be able to ignore our input affecting patient care. We need to be at the table and work with the administration to ensure patients are the top priority. Through collaboration, we can improve patient care and ensure responsible decision-making,” said Dr. Josh Plank, a hospitalist at St. Charles, in a press release. Both Absalon and Marchiando are expected to stay through the month pending transition plans for their areas of responsibilities.

Redmond Recreation

Redmond voters will vote on a new recreation facility, just three years after rejecting a similar proposal By Jack Harvel

n July 12, Redmond City Council approved two ballot measures that would create and fund a fiveyear levy to create a recreation center. The $48 million facility would have an eight-lane lap pool, a lazy river, water slide, a gym, bouldering wall and more. The facility would sit on 10 acres Redmond Area Park and Recreation District bought in 2008, at the intersection of 35th Street and Lava Avenue. The ballot measure would also fund soccer fields, tennis or pickleball courts, a bike skills track, walking trails and 240 parking spaces around the facility. If both measures are approved by voters in November, they would add $7.07 on every $100,000 of assessed property value — $4.67 to create the facility and $2.40 to fund operating costs. People who live in the RAPRD’s district will pay 30% less for admissions and programming. Redmond’s tried and failed to build a similar facility in the past. In 2019 Redmond voters rejected a $40 million bond and levy for a similar facility with 57% voting against. A 2008 bond measure was also defeated at the ballot box. Despite this, RAPRD officials say program participation is at an all-time high and that people tell them they want more recreational opportunities. “In 1979 when our current pool was built, Redmond had 6,500 people and the district that we serve right now is easily more than six times that number of people, so we’re severely lacking in pool space, gym space, pickleball courts, workout areas, fitness class and so on,” said Matthew Gilman, chairman of RAPRD’s

Noticias en Español St. Charles perdió tres directivos durante la última semana a medida que el proveedor de atención médica batalla por solucionar el déficit financiero relacionado con la pandemia Por / By Jack Harvel Traducido por / Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar formularios de impuestos públicos más recientes de St. Charles (St. Charles’s most recent public tax forms) muestran que Absalon ganó un poco más de $600,000 en 2019, mientras que Marchiando ganó más de $381,000 en el mismo año. El Dr. Steve Gordon, presidente interino y CEO de St. Charles, agradeció a los directivos salientes por su trabajo y les deseó lo mejor en sus proyectos futuros. Absalon and Marchiando son los primeros directivos en irse mientras que el hospital enfrenta una crisis financiera, pero en mayo St. Charles dio de baja a 105 personas y eliminó 76 puestos vacantes. St. Charles dijo que los puestos eran en su mayoría puestos eran no médicos, como en áreas de finanzas, tecnología, y recursos humanos. Sigue contratando activamente para puestos clínicos, pero le está costando llenar los puestos a costos previos a la pandemia. Un reporte de marzo departe de Kaufman Hall, una firma de asesoría financiera, rastreó un aumento del 37% en costos laborales por paciente entre

marzo de 2019 a marzo de 2022 y la contratación de mano de obra, como los(as) enfermeras(os) viajantes, aumento del 2% por gastos laborales al 11%. Aunque hay una crisis de fondos en muchos hospitales, muchos empleados de St. Charles culpan en parte a la toma de decisiones hechas antes y durante la pandemia. En junio, casi 300 empleados de St. Charles, incluyendo médicos, enfermeras especializadas y otros empleados del servicio médico, anunciaron su interés de unirse a la Federación Estadounidense de Sindicatos de Maestros, el segundo sindicato de maestros más grande de los Estados Unidos que comprende de cerca de 20,000 profesionales de atención médica. En un comunicado de prensa, Central Oregon Providers Network dijo que no buscan un sindicato para asegurar mejores salarios o prestaciones, sino para aumentar la participación del personal en el proceso de toma de decisiones. “Con el sindicato, St. Charles ya no podrá ignorar nuestras aportaciones que

afectan la atención del paciente. Necesitamos estar presentes y colaborar con el administrativo para asegurarnos que los pacientes sean la prioridad principal. Por medio de la colaboración, podemos mejorar el servicio al paciente y asegurar una toma de decisión responsable,” dijo en un comunicado de prensa Josh Plank, un internista de St. Charles. Tanto Absalon como Marchiando se quedan lo que resta del mes pendientes del plan de transición en relación a las responsabilidades de estos. “Con el sindicato, St. Charles ya no podrá ignorar nuestras aportaciones que afectan la atención del paciente.

Three stories from the frontlines of the abortion bans in Wisconsin, Mississippi and Texas Compiled by Nicole Vulcan

Mississippi ‘Sneaky’ Personhood? The Unborn Child Support Act By Ashton Pittman, Mississippi Free Press Ashton Pittman

.S. Sens. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker of Mississippi are among a group of nine Republicans who on Wednesday unveiled Senate Bill 4512, The Unborn Child Support Act, which would require fathers to pay child support starting in “the first month in which the child was conceived, as determined by a physician.” “I hope good legislation, like the Unborn Child Support Act, gets more support now that the Dobbs decision encourages us to look more seriously at supporting mothers and their unborn children,” Hyde-Smith said, referring to the June 24 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed near-total abortion bans to take effect in states like Mississippi. If passed, the bill would amend Part D of Title IV of the Social Security Act in order “to ensure that child support for unborn children is collected and distributed under the child support enforcement program.” “This legislation would help ensure women have opportunities to receive child-support payments from the earlier days of their pregnancy,” Hyde-Smith said. ‘It Is Very Sneaky’ Supporters of reproductive rights are not rushing to endorse the legislation, however. Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund co-founder Laurie Bertram Roberts told the Mississippi Free Press that she sees an effort to sneak the ideas behind Mississippi’s failed “Personhood Amendment” into federal law. In 2011, anti-abortion organizers attempted to amend Mississippi’s Constitution to define the word “person” to “include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the equivalent thereof,” theoretically banning all abortions by giving fertilized eggs and fetuses constitutional protections. Mississippi voters rejected it 58% to 42% at the ballot box that year.

language” into federal law if enacted. In addition to banning all abortions, the Personhood amendment could have outlawed in-vitro fertilization and several popular forms of birth control that work by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting.

Still, anti-abortion Republicans have continued to push for personhood legislation, including in another federal bill Wicker co-sponsors called the Life At Conception Act, which would grant 14th Amendment rights to fertilized eggs and fetuses. After the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization allowed states to implement extreme abortion bans, Chad Pecknold, a member of the board of directors at Americans United For Life, tweeted that he wanted a nationwide ban. “’Returning it to the states’ is not our goal,” he wrote on June 24, the day of the ruling. “We will not rest, we will not weary until we abolish abortion nationally as unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment.”

Post-Roe restrictions in Wisconsin force people to seek services out of state

By Judith Davidoff, Isthmus

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 29 / JULY 21, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

One Madison Woman’s Trip to Illinois for an abortion

ost Saturday mornings Abby is at work or walking in nature somewhere. But on July 2, the 30-yearold is waiting at her house to be picked up by an acquaintance who will drive her more than two hours to a clinic in Illinois to obtain a medication abortion to end her pregnancy. Even two weeks ago, Abby — who allowed a reporter to travel with her to Illinois and share her story but requested that her real name not be used — could have obtained what is commonly referred to as the “abortion pill” at the Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin clinic in Madison, where she lives. But when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its June 24 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning the constitutional right to an abortion that has existed since 1973, Planned Parenthood clinics immediately stopped offering both surgical and medication abortion due to Wisconsin’s 1849 criminal abortion ban, which is still on the books. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has since filed suit in Dane County Circuit Court to block the 173-year-old statute. But Wisconsin women seeking abortion must currently go to Illinois or Minnesota or one of the other states in the nation where abortion remains legal and accessible. Abby’s boyfriend could not get time off from work to be with her for the appointment so a good friend of his, Lili Luxe, is driving Abby instead. Luxe pulls into the couple’s driveway just before 9 am and Abby walks out holding a pillow and sweatshirt. The pillow, she explains later, is her “comfort.” “I bring it on any road trip,” she says. The sweatshirt is so she’ll have “something cozy” to wear on the ride home. Abby piles in the backseat and Luxe offers her a fresh donut she picked up on the ride over. Luxe has also brought along popcorn, gummy bears and other snacks, in addition to some items she thought might work as distractions should Abby want them: crossword puzzles and coloring books. She was also advised by Dana Pellebon, the co-executive director of the Rape Crisis Center and a Dane County board supervisor, to bring Abby a stress ball — “So she has something to hold that is grounding and comforting,” says Luxe. Abby says she is nervous — not about the choice she is making to end her pregnancy — but about the medication she will be taking to make that happen. “I just want to be OK,” she says. “I don’t want any complications. Going to the doctor is not really a calming place for me.” Abby keeps track of her periods on a phone app. Since the Dobbs decision she has heard the concerns about such apps making it possible to track women seeking abortions in states where they are illegal, but she finds the app handy and full of useful information about such things as ovulation and period relief. This month her period was late and she also started to experience telltale signs of pregnancy: extra tender breasts, sore nipples and mood swings. On June 28, she took an at-home pregnancy test; it was positive. She figured she was about five weeks pregnant. Abby called her boyfriend, who was at work at the time. She says he was supportive of the decision she had already made. “I’m not ready,” she says. “I don’t really want kids now. I’m trying to work on my mental

health now.” Her boyfriend called Luxe for guidance on how to help Abby access an abortion out of state. Luxe, a longtime activist on issues of sexual freedom and consent, says people often turn to her as a resource. Luxe called Pellebon, who gave Luxe some names and numbers. Abby says she spent about four hours that day calling clinics in Illinois, but could not get through or was put on hold—up to two hours at one clinic. She started to feel a bit panicked but then her boyfriend got through immediately to a clinic in the Chicago area. He handed the phone to Abby and within a few minutes she had an appointment for Saturday. Abby says she was asked whether she preferred a surgical abortion or medication abortion, generally available up to 11 weeks of pregnancy. She chose the latter and was told about the process and risks. “It was really informative and made me feel comforted,” she says. She was also informed that clinic personnel would go over all the information again at her appointment. The clinic followed up with an email confirmation, information sheets and consent forms Abby was to sign and bring with her on the day of the appointment, along with her insurance card and identification. Judith Davidoff

Signs set up by anti-abortion protesters greet patients as they approach the Illinois clinic.

Abby says she felt an immediate sense of relief when she got off the phone. But she also was thinking about other women who might be facing a similar predicament. “I’m feeling for the women who don’t know how to access [it],” she says. “I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who can’t drive to a different state.” Luxe and Abby arrive about 45 minutes early for Abby’s appointment. Located along a busy suburban road, the clinic asked not to be named due to the shifting legal landscape on abortion. The clinic had told Abby to expect that anti-abortion protesters would be outside the clinic so she is not surprised to see a dozen or so people clustered on a patch of grass between the street and parking lot. They have set up signs on the sidewalk terrace and against a car parked on the street: “Stop abortion now” and “Ask me about a free ultrasound.” Abby decides to see if the clinic will get her in early. She was told because of COVID precautions she could not have anyone with her, so she grabs the stress ball Luxe has given her and goes in alone. By the time Abby gets out of the car to enter the clinic the gaggle of protesters has shrunk to four men.

One, wearing a front baby carrier with a children’s doll in it, repeatedly screams “repent.” Abby recalls later that she heard one protester yelling that “there’s a reverse abortion pill,” something that hasn’t been proven in reliable medical studies. Another man, who would only give his name as John, says he and his fellow protesters are driven by their “spirit who says this is not right.” That’s what separates people who support and oppose abortion, he says. “One of the differences is that we do believe in God. We do believe that life begins at conception.” John says his ability to freely express his views is “what makes this country so great.” But he declines to comment on whether his views should dictate law. “I won’t get into that. It’s whatever people voted for, correct? Everybody is all upset about Roe v. Wade. It just took it out of federal hands and put it back into the state’s hands. “Your state of Wisconsin — if that’s where you’re from — has deemed it illegal. Illinois wants to be the abortion center of the country. Isn’t that sad? It is to me, anyway. Wisconsin boasts about recreation and tourists and we’re going to boast about, ‘Come and have an abortion?’” Abby texts Luxe within 15 minutes to let her know that she got in early and has already had a vaginal ultrasound that confirms she is about five weeks pregnant. She is now back in the waiting room, waiting for her medication to be prepared and to meet with the doctor. About 30 minutes later she is done. “The doctor was amazing,” she says. “I can’t get over how nice everyone is and how calming they are.” Abby took one pill in the office — mifepristone — and was instructed to insert four tablets of misoprostol in her vagina within 24 hours. The two-step regimen is typical for medication abortion. The clinic also tells her to make an appointment through Planned Parenthood or her health care provider to get an ultrasound in two weeks to make sure that the abortion is complete. Her total cost is $625, which she is asked to pay before receiving services. She plans to see if her insurance company will cover any of the costs. She also plans to change her birth control. For medical reasons, Abby can’t take estrogen, so she has been on minipill, a progestin-only type of birth control that is taken daily. She realized, at some point, that she somehow missed two days. She doesn’t want that to happen again: “I am going to contact my doctor and see about a different form.” The need to travel to Illinois for a medication abortion added several obstacles for Abby that did not exist for Madison residents before June 24: travel that took the better part of a day; the need for a car and driver; and money to cover the cost of gas — about $70 — in addition to the procedure. But there was one silver lining: The process for abortion in Illinois is much more streamlined than it would have been at a clinic in Wisconsin due to restrictions passed in recent years by the state Legislature. Wisconsin has a 24-hour waiting period to receive any abortion and, in the case of medication abortion, a requirement that the same doctor see the patient for the initial visit and to administer the first dose of the drug. “On average most patients would wait about a

FEATURE Aid Access provides counseling from a doctor and help desk before, during and after the process, according to its website. A doctor provides the prescriptions for mifepristone and misoprostol and a pharmacy in India ships the medicine, with delivery between one to three weeks. The cost is $110.

Under Wisconsin’s 1849 criminal abortion ban, it is not a crime for the woman to have an abortion; it’s a crime for a doctor to provide it. Like Texas, Wisconsin prohibited telemedicine abortion even before the Dobbs decision came down from the U.S. Supreme Court. So for people in Wisconsin to legally access abortion pills from an online provider, the pills need to be sent to an address where telemedicine abortion is legal, like Illinois or Minnesota, says Jessica Dalby, a family doctor at UW Health who is on the steering committee of Pregnancy Options Wisconsin: Education, Resources & Support Inc. (POWERS). Aid Access, however, will buck those rules, she says. “Aid Access has been sending pills by mail to Wisconsin residents since 2018,” says Dalby. Dalby and Linton do not have concerns about women taking abortion pills in the absence of a physician. “We do know that self-managed abortion, especially when sourced from reputable sites, is safe and patients are able to manage their abortions at home,” says Linton. “The pills are very safe,” agrees Dalby. “Even when you get pills at a clinic, you’re basically doing the same management at home.” “I think the biggest risk of self-managing,” adds Dalby, “is the prospect of it going away.” [Editor’s note: Lili Luxe works as a court reporter for Dane County Judge Rhonda Lanford, who is the author’s wife.]

TEXAS

Next On Ken Paxton’s To-Do List: Mother Annihilation Texas sues Biden admin over emergency care for pregnant people By Maggie Q. Thompson, The Austin Chronicle

exas Attorney General Ken Paxton—the actually influential version of a guy who was “just playing devil’s advocate” during a eugenics discussion in a college philosophy class—tried his darndest Thursday to block emergency rooms from offering abortions to save the life of pregnant people. The Biden administration told hospitals on Monday that they “must” provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk, because federal law on emergency medical treatment trumps state laws that now ban abortions without exception—bans that are, of course, going into effect after the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Even though Texas’s abortion restrictions (for now) still allow for life-saving abortions, Paxton’s office took issue with the president’s guidance in a complaint that was as predictable as it was debasing to people capable of pregnancy. In the complaint, Paxton (or his goons? who’s to say) claimed that Biden was attempting “to transform every emergency room in the country into a walk-in abortion clinic.” And, well, yes, though no transformation should be needed. Emergency Rooms are, after all, walk-in clinics for people who need life-saving procedures in the case of a life-threatening situation, which the souled population generally describes as an “emergency.” Paxton argues that the 1980s Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act– the basis for Biden’s guidance—does not specifically name abortions or protect the right to “any specific treatment.” The act does, however, specifically protect a patient’s right to stabilizing treatment for an emergency medical condition, including active labor, regardless of an individual’s

ability to pay. Paxton’s lawsuit points out that EMTALA defines an emergency medical condition as a medical condition with acute symptoms (including severe pain) which, without immediate medical attention, could place “the health of the individual (or, with respect to a pregnant woman, the health of the woman or her unborn child) in serious jeopardy” or cause serious impairment or dysfunction to any part of the patient’s body. Courtesy State of Texas

Texas A.G. Ken Paxton filed a complaint July 14 challenging the Biden administration's guidance that doctors must provide abortions to save lives under federal law.

In what reads as a thinly veiled threat to Texas providers, Paxton argues that Biden’s guidance would actually force hospitals and doctors to commit crimes

and risk their licensure under Texas law. At the same time, he says that EMTALA’s wording actually “contemplates that an emergency medical condition is one that threatens the life of the unborn child.” It seems that in EMTALA’s wording, Paxton is banking on the word “or” in “the health of the woman or her unborn child” as an admittance that doctors can just pick their favorite patient (the pregnant person or the fertilized egg, as the case may be) and let the other die. Overall, the lawsuit adds more legal knots to the ratty jumble of abortion-related laws that doctors must comb through at the moment. Abortion providers and advocates in Texas have so far seen the need to cease most if not all operations (abortion funds are paused, and Whole Woman’s Health is packing up to move to New Mexico). With conservatives across the country pushing for “personhood” laws that would effectively grant fetuses a greater right to life than the pregnant person carrying them, it’s not unreasonable to imagine that Paxton’s office is hoping for such an outcome from this lawsuit, though they might settle for a dash of limelight from Fox News.

Emergency Rooms are, after all, walk-in clinics for people who need life-saving procedures in the case of a life-threatening situation, which the souled population generally describes as an “emergency.”

week between the first and second visit,” says Dr. Allie Linton, associate medical director of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, which until June 24 operated three clinics in the state that offered abortion. Linton says it was always a challenge to sync the appointments to match both the doctor’s and patient’s schedule. Sometimes a delay would mean that patients who originally sought a medication abortion would have to get a surgical abortion because, during that time, their pregnancy progressed beyond 11 weeks; it also meant that sometimes women missed the 22-week cut-off for surgical abortion in Wisconsin (20 weeks at Planned Parenthood clinics) and would have to seek an abortion in another state. “Any time you have a waiting period you risk taking away options,” says Linton. Women across the country have already been self-managing their abortions at home by ordering pills online and more are expected to pursue that route now that Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the land. When lawmakers in Texas banned abortion after six weeks of pregnancy in September 2021, orders for medication abortion from Aid Access, a nonprofit based in Europe, went up 1,180 percent in the first week, increasing from about 11 orders per day to about 137 per day, according to a study in JAMA Network Open and reported by Politico. Orders did decrease after a few months but, according to the study, were still considerably higher than before the restrictive Texas law took effect.

After a rewarding and challenging journey, JRB is feeling proud and excited for its release party

By Isaac Biehl

n 2019 the Jess Ryan Band released its debut album “Fractured”—which Ryan shared was a lifelong dream. Now the band is back with its followup EP, “Take A Seat,” that will celebrate its official release at the Volcanic Theatre Pub on July 23. This time around the band took on a totally new approach to recording an album, doing it all in-house themselves at their usual rehearsal space in the home studio of Andrew Lyons, who plays saxophone in the band. Other members of JRB include Joshua Hernandez (bass) and Patrick Bedard (drums). The experience of producing the EP gave them freedom to explore new avenues of their music and creativity, but it was also a challenge that ended up being rewarding in the end. “There’s things you just can’t anticipate, or decisions you have to make. Then you make one slight adjustment and you have to go back and do it all over again. Having this amount of control requires a great deal of time. It nearly destroyed us,” laughs Ryan. “In some ways it pulled us apart and then it brought us back together in the end. If that makes sense.” Some 200 or more mixes later, Lyons described the experience as a labor of love, going as far to say it’s the best thing he’s ever worked on. “We’re all really passionate, so there was a lot of emotion around a lot of the decisions. Once it was in the can and done, we kind of dusted our hands and we’ve been able to get the stress of the process out. Like, ‘Look what we made!’” September 2021 is when JRB started seriously throwing down tracks for “Take A Seat.” The five songs showcase a bit of darkness in what was a more direct approach than that of the band’s debut album. “The album was a grab bag of songs. This one, we wanted to tell a story and convey a feeling,” says Ryan. “There’s a little bit of heaviness and angst to these songs.” Inside those five tracks, you can feel the heaviness Ryan speaks of. It comes through in Ryan’s soul-stirring tone and passionate lyrics, while the instrumentation helps cast a gray-sky feel to its sound. “Take A Seat” gets you in the right headspace to feel your emotions and it sounds as close to a live experience as you can get through your headphones. Lyons mentions the powerful “Transgressions” as one of his favorites off the EP, noting how it came together as a mix of all the band’s creative ideas. “At the end we had this song with all these really weird compositional ideas. It was very much a collaborative thing,” he says. “ It’s a really cool song. It has a little bit of magic, or something or other about it.” In August Ryan will take off for Ireland to study abroad and will be gone for a few months. There are some songs and ideas in the works that will be left behind, so JRB will see where things go when they’re all reunited. But Ryan says she’s extremely

happy with how the band was able to evolve throughout the recording process and that they were able to experience this new process together. All of their hard work finally came together at a barbecue on Independence Day. “It was Fourth of July and we sat on the couch at Andrew’s and listened to it all in order. Afterwards, like, I just stood up and cried. I was so proud of us,” recalls Ryan. Joining the Jess Ryan Band Saturday at Volcanic will be Blackflowers Blacksun.

BALLOONS OVER BEND 2022

JULY 22-24, 2022 Join us for three days of family fun, including balloon launches, night glows, live music, and more. Come on out, bring your friends or family and make some great memories that will last a lifetime. Balloon launches are free to attend! Tickets are only needed for the Balloon Blast Race and the Night Glow portions of the event.

Every year, a portion of proceeds from Balloons Over Bend is donated to a local nonprofit. COCC Foundation will be this year’s beneficiary! Since 1955, Central Oregon Community College Foundation scholarships have enabled students to learn new skills, earn technical certificates, complete two-year associate degrees and be prepared to pursue the remainder of their undergraduate studies at a college or university. Central Oregon Community College Foundation scholarships have impacted the lives of tens of thousands of Central Oregon students. These students come from all corners of the College district and share one belief that education can change and improve their lives. Scholarships provide financial support, but for many students being a scholarship recipient means something more. It means that someone believes in them enough to provide them with the financial resources needed to attend COCC. It means that someone else believes in their dreams.

Living the High Life

A ride in a balloon is a lo-fi adventure By Nicole Vulcan High Desert Droneworks

43 VOLUME 26 ISSUE 29 / JULY 21, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The quiet, peaceful view from a hot air balloon is one serene scene.

t’s a common occurrence for passengers flying into the Redmond airport: the second the white-capped peaks of the Cascades come into view, people not in the window seats are poking their heads around, trying to find a good place to see those beauties in their up-close majesty. It doesn’t much matter how long you’ve lived here or how many times you’ve witnessed that scene—the view is always worth craning your neck to see once again. Being in a plane or a tour helicopter is a prime way to gaze at Klah Klahne (an indigenous name for the Three Sisters) and Seekseekqua/Kuassal Teminbi (Mt. Jefferson)—but there’s also an option that doesn’t have you vying for the best view from an 18-inch window. Several Balloons Over Bends ago, I had the privilege of joining balloon pilot Darren Kling in his balloon. Kling, the owner of Big Sky Balloon Company, who’s the balloon director at Balloons Over Bend, regaled me with stories of learning to fly from patient mentors, and the adventures he’s been on during his 30 years in the biz. It was an eye-opening experience—one where sweet breezes accompany the sweet views of all those mountains and the avian creatures who live in them. Having never seen a hot air balloon up close, just being in the vicinity of one as it filled up in preparation for

flight is an experience in itself—a lesson in their sheer size and scale. Then, getting to hop into one and go on an actual flight over Bend was the ultimate treat. Unlike the near-constant chatter that accompanies a plane flight, climbing into the basket and lifting off from Jewell Elementary in southeast Bend was quiet—understated, even. One minute we were on the ground with a crew holding the ropes; the next we were waving at the crowd gathered below. It’s a bit voyeuristic, being that close to the ground and seeing people in their backyards, doing their Saturday morning laundry or sipping coffee—though upon seeing us in a giant balloon floating overhead, most people enthusiastically waved in greeting. The suburban landscape of Bend slowly—at the pace the wind decided—faded to a more rural one; eventually more horses greeting hello than people. And the views! Living in the constant shadow of Yamakiasham Yaina (the Cascades) never gets old, even from the ground, but there’s something extra special about seeing it from this viewpoint, where the problems and worries happening down below just seem, well, small; the mountains’ reminder that it’s OK to leave the minutiae alone for a while. And here’s another thing that hot air balloon rides

provide: A total surrender to the winds, and also to the hospitality and understanding of the people presently inhabiting the lands below. When it was time to land, Kling spotted a pasture and simply landed, hoping for the goodwill of the property owner. Where he often lands on private tours near Redmond, public lands make it easier to land and not upset anyone—but on this ride, only a nearby horse was around to remark upon our arrival. With Balloons Over Bend (run by the Source’s sister company, Lay It Out Events) coming up this weekend, locals will have the chance to see the action up close. Whether that involves simply seeing a balloon fill up and glow in the night, or it means alighting in a basket to float over the neighborhoods of Central Oregon, it beats the battle over the window-seat view on a plane every time.

Where’s Caldo?

By Nicole Vulcan

A simple soup of greens that became something to write home about

Bird Flu + Backyard Flocks

By Ari Levaux

Caldo verde simmering with the author’s secret ingredient.

named Mario, a friend of a friend. Mario makes the two-hour drive to Fall River from Gloucester, on the Massachusetts north shore, in order to get his linguica. So maybe I needed better linguica? Perhaps, but before making a linguica run, I tried adding a whole bell pepper to my caldo verde, for some stealth flavor. I had noticed pieces of bell pepper in most of the other dishes I enjoyed in Fall River. Could it also be a secret ingredient in the caldo verde? It is green, after all. And has a flavor that can’t be replaced or replicated. I began making my caldo verde with a whole bell pepper simmering in the pot, similar to how I often will add whole onions, carrots or celery crowns to a pot of soup. They never make it to the final bowl. So, too, with my bell peppers, which you could smell all through the house. Their fragrance clearly made it into the caldo. Ultimately, it’s more of a linguica broth, which if you aren’t careful can be a bit heavy because of it. I like to cook the linguica to drain some of the grease. With lemon zest to add levity, my caldo verde ended up with some fireworks to it, but in a good way. So next time I drive to Fall River, I’ll be able to focus on the littlenecks.

Caldo Verde A mellow bowl of kale and potato soup that will leave you feeling nourished and satisfied. Serves six 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced 1 large onion, minced 1/2 cup olive oil Whole bell pepper 2 bay leaves Zest of a lemon 2 cubes or equivalent veggie bouillon 1 bunch kale 1/2 pound linguica (or chorizo)

Boil the potatoes for a half hour in a gallon of water. Then allow to cool. In a soup pot, meanwhile, saute the onions in the oil on medium heat. Add the whole bell pepper to the pan. When the potatoes are cool enough to work with, mash the potatoes in the water until almost smooth. When the onions are translucent— about 15 minutes—add the potato water to the soup pot. Add the bay leaves and veggie bouillon. Simmer for 30 minutes. Slice the linguica into half-inch rounds. Brown them on the grill or pan. Add the linguica rounds to the soup pot along with the zest. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the ribs from the kale and mince the leaves crosswise. Add the kale to the pot. Cook another five minutes. Season with salt and serve.

Ari Levaux

recently visited Fall River, a sleepy fishing town on the Rhode Island border whose long-established Portuguese community has made it the capital of Portuguese seafood in North America. There, amid the wine-sauced littleneck clams, the grilled cod, scallops moçambique and Portuguese paella, I found a bowl of kale potato soup that almost stole the show. It looked simple on that white tablecloth, and it is. All I could see were shards of green floating in a thick, milky broth, but I soon discovered linguica, a type of cured Portuguese sausage similar to chorizo, lurking beneath the surface. This humble bowl of soup was the opposite of fireworks, but in a good way. It was like a symphony at a very low volume. I knew there would be caldo verde at Sagres Restaurant. In fact, my quest for this Western Iberian comfort food was the motivation for making the trip. Because unlike seafood-based dishes like the mariscada or camarao alhinho, I can bring caldo verde with me, in recipe form, and reproduce it back home with local ingredients. Sagres, according to the internet, is one of two restaurants in Fall River that serve caldo verde (the other being the incomparable Mr. Chicken). I learned a lot at Sagres, not just about caldo verde. I will forever be grateful for the waiter’s firm assurance that it’s OK to drink red wine with seafood. Caldo verde translates into soup of greens. While kale is the green most often used, any durable leaf will do, including collards, broccoli leaves or chard, to name a few. Since then I have made batch after batch of caldo verde, trying to recreate that glorious and mellow experience. I followed the recipes I found online but it always came out too busy or too bland. Although I saw no evidence in that Fall Riverian bowl of caldo verde, I began to suspect bell pepper. I began to wonder if it was the linguica I was using, purchased from the local Star Market. After all, I knew of a certain fisherman of Portuguese descent

I was quite literally arranging to bring a new hen into our flock when the news broke: Bird flu. For me, bringing in a new hen will have to wait. When it comes to breakfast, there’s nothing quite like a fresh egg or two, plucked that morning from the coop of your very own backyard flock. Deep orange in color, loaded with nutrients and the love you poured into the “ladies” who made them… it’s a beautiful thing. So when bird flu comes around, it’s natural that a backyard chicken (or other poultry)-keeper might feel like they’re in over their heads. On July 12, the Oregon Department of Agriculture issued a regional quarantine for the city of Bend and surrounding areas, after finding five cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a non-commercial flock in Deschutes County. The 70-some birds living on the farm have since been euthanized. During the quarantine, ODA conducts “surveillance”—in the form of a voluntary survey—that allows it to track cases. If more cases are uncovered, ODA conducts another survey 14 days later until no cases are found. The survey is available from this Oregon State University-Deschutes County Extension Service web page: https://extension. oregonstate.edu/deschutes/announcements/important-information-poultry-owners • To help keep backyard and other chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys healthy, ODA recommends the following precautions: • Restrict access to your property and keep your birds away from other birds. • Keep a designated pair of shoes to wear around your birds, wash clothing after visiting your birds and use disinfectants correctly. • Clean and disinfect cages, poultry equipment and car tires after visiting a farm store, poultry swap, or other location with birds present. • Keep new birds separate from your flock for 30 days; quarantine returning birds from the rest of your flock after visiting a poultry swap or other event. • Do not share equipment or supplies with others, but if you must, disinfect it first. • Wash hands before and after bird handling.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JULY 21, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

"Official Selection" offers a funny, yet insightful take on filmmaking.

ELVIS: I would have zero interest in this one if it wasn’t from the same filmmaker that did “Moulin Rouge,” so I know it will at least be visually interesting. Sorry, I just don’t care about Elvis. I like the musicians he ripped off quite a bit more. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE:

Martial arts, sci-fi and mind-f*ck combine for this jaw-dropping showcase of the brilliant Michelle Yeoh and the unsung comedic chops of Jamie Lee Curtis. From the Daniels, this is a breathtaking work of imagination that uses cinematic techniques we haven’t seen since the heyday of Spike Jonze and Michele Gondry. Tin Pan Theater

JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION: I’m in the minority in thinking the last couple “Jurassic World” movies had a few pretty exciting moments but weren’t actually great movies. This new one brings back Sam Neil, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum from the original, but still manages to be dull, uninspired and pointless. Regal Old Mill LIGHTYEAR: Chris Evans is Buzz Lightyear in this high-concept animated sci-fi adventure from Pixar and Disney. The concept is cool: The toy Buzz Lightyear from the “Toy Story” movies is the licensed action figure made from the success of a blockbuster summer movie. “Lightyear” is the in-universe movie that the toy is made from. Now my head hurts. Regal Old Mill MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU: I definitely wish this looked more like a sequel to the surprisingly great “Minions” and less like a prequel to “Despicable Me,” but who am I kidding, I’ll see this either way. I love me some Twinkie-shaped, gibberish-speaking weirdos. Regal Old Mill MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS: The story of a British housekeeper and her dream to own a Christian Dior gown. The trailer for this is charming and it’s been a while since we’ve had a good fish- out-ofwater story, so here’s hoping this is as good as it looks. Regal Old Mill NOPE: One of my most anticipated movies of 2022

is finally here: Jordan Peele’s third feature as a director, “Nope.” Instead of doing another deep dive into the fractured psyche of humanity, this one promises to be an alien invasion story unlike any we’ve ever seen. Early reviews are calling this Peele’s attempt at a Spielberg movie and I can’t even deal with how exciting that sounds. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub

OFFICIAL SELECTION: Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas star in this deeply funny and insightful

look at filmmaking and the process of acting. Cruz has never been funnier in her entire career and Banderas shows he’s willing to be as goofy as humanly possible to get laughs. Tin Pan Theater

PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK: Back when this was being developed, this animated family adventure was called “Blazing Samurai,” which will always be a better title. The trailer definitely looks like it’s taking its inspiration from “Kung-Fu Panda,” but with a voice cast featuring Michael Cera, Mel Brooks, Sam Jackson and the co-director of “The Lion King” behind the camera, maybe it can rise above its inspirations. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House PHANTOM OF THE OPEN: A very British charmer

starring the always reliable Mark Rylance as the true-life golfer Maurice Flitcroft. Flitcroft shot a 121 in the qualifying competition for the 1976 Open Championship, leading to him earning the title of “World’s Worst Golfer.” This is the story of how a badass ship crane operator spent years gate crashing the British Open. See full review on page 45. A treat. Tin Pan Theater

PLEASURE: An unflinching and brutal look at the

porn industry that introduces Sofia Kappel to the world in an absolutely star-making performance. The film is much more interested in educating than titillating and is much stronger for it. Tin Pan Theater

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER: Writer/director Taika Waititi is one of our most innovative filmmakers and “Love and Thunder” is packed with mind-blowing visuals and some of his most irreverent humor yet. Don’t believe the negativity, this is an absolute blast. I hope we get Thor movies forever. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins TOP GUN: MAVERICK: There’s a reason why Tom

Cruise is the last true movie star and it’s mostly because he’s that perfect blend of creepy, weird and desperate to entertain us—and boy does he. This feels like a true Hollywood crowd-pleaser in a way we haven’t seen in years. Talk about a highway to the danger zone. Regal Old Mill

WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING: I really liked this

book and actress Daisy Edgar-Jones is a fantastic new talent, so hopefully this Rural Noir murder mystery catches the imaginations of people unfamiliar with the story. If the advanced reviews are accurate, the film doesn’t quite capture the same magic as the book does, but not many movies adapt novels very well in the first place.

Clap SCREEN Golf Great British comedy minds are behind the ‘Phantom of the Open’ By Jared Rasic Courtesy of Sony

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 29 / JULY 21, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

hen brilliant British (and Australian) filmmakers who cut their teeth in comedy are given somewhat free reign to tell stories on a larger scale, we get beautiful things. And so many of the new guard of British writers and directors come from goofy and humble beginnings. I don’t think this is a secret, but “Paddington” and “Paddington 2” are a pair of the finest family movies ever made…at least since “Babe” and “Babe 2: A Pig in the City.” Then take “The Phantom of the Open,” a movie I might otherwise not care less about since I haven’t connected with a golf film since “Happy Gilmore,” but I saw it simply because of its pedigree, and I’m so glad I did. Hang out for a sec while I get nerdy and granular. My favorite British comedy of all time is a little-seen 2009 film called “Bunny and the Bull” by writer/director Paul King. King came from two of the greatest British comedies since Monty Python was a thing: “The Mighty Boosh” and “Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace” and then directed the two “Paddington” movies after “Bunny and the Bull.” King now has a Willy Wonka movie coming out next year. Bunny in “Bunny and the Bull” is played by Simon Farnaby, who not only acted in “The Mighty Boosh,” the “Paddington” films and co-created and stars in the modern classic series “Ghosts,” but he also wrote “The Phantom of the Open” and Paul King’s upcoming “Wonka” movie. “Phantom of the Open” was directed by Craig Roberts, the 31-year-old wunderkind who starred in 2010’s “Submarine,” written and directed by the British treasure Richard Ayoade, who also played a role in “Bunny and the Bull” and co-created “Darkplace” and “The Mighty Boosh.” Can you picture me standing in front of a cork board with a bunch of strings connecting all of these brilliant minds together? Farnaby, King, Roberts, Ayoade and company will be remembered as groundbreaking British film pioneers and “The Phantom of the Open” will be a lovely little bulletpoint in the middle of Farnaby's

Mark Rylance will putt his way into your heart in “The Phantom of the Open.”

and Roberts’ already astounding careers. “With a cast led by the always welcome Mark Rylance (who continues to impress after his memorable turns in “Dunkirk” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7”) and the luminous Sally Hawkins (who also starred in the “Paddington” films), “The Phantom of the Open” is a funny, heartwarming and deliriously well-directed blend of magical realism and bio-pic. I wasn’t familiar with the story of Maurice Flitcroft and his legendary appearance at the 1976 Open Championship and normally I wouldn’t have been very interested, but Farnaby (who literally wrote the book “Flitcroft”) and Craig Roberts got my butt in the seat. And I’m really glad I watched it. It’s a lovely little movie with a big heart that uses some brand-new filmmaking techniques to make the film feel like it was made back in 1976. Farnaby knows how to write a

crowdpleaser without crossing the line into corniness and Roberts balances between cringe humor and heartwarming like a master which, at 31, is fairly remarkable. I brought up all the bonafides of “The Phantom of the Open” not to try to fill your brain with as much useless information as mine has, but because if you saw the trailer and thought it was just a lightweight golf comedy, I wanted to share that some of the greatest minds in British comedy are behind this lovely little movie. From my perspective, that’s a touchdown… or swish, or whatever. “The Phantom of the Open” Dir. Craig Roberts Grade: B+ Now playing at Tin Pan Theater

Nursery to play a major role in restoration and rewilding efforts

Damian Fagan

he sale of the native plant Wintercreek Nursery to the nonprofit Worthy Garden Club this month has many implications for conservation projects throughout the West, as well as for the volunteers and stewards in the art of land restoration. “The purchase of the nursery is something Roger [Worthington] and I discussed before I took this job about how the mission of the nursery fits in with the mission of the Club,” said Rick Martinson, executive director of Worthy Garden Club and co-owner of Wintercreek Nursery, along with his wife, Karen Theodore. “Roger really wanted to expand the Garden Club’s capabilities in restoration and conservation.” For years, Roger Worthington, owner of Worthy Brewing Company, had provided funding for organizations involved in conservation work, such as Dr. Bill Ripple from Oregon State University and Dr. Beverly Law. “One thing we talked about was taking those funds and hiring someone like Evan to run this program and do it all in-house,” added Martinson. Evan Heeb, director of the environmental division, started with the Club on the same day the nursery sale went through. He’s worked for Wintercreek Nursery and has done restoration work in the Northern Great Basin region. “The way I can make the greatest impact is by doing fieldwork because it doesn’t matter if we understand the High Desert down to the molecular level if nobody is going to go back and start to put those pieces back together,” said Heeb. His statements echo the WGC mantra of “closing the gap between theory and practice.” One of Heeb’s many projects will be refocusing on Operation Appleseed, a Club project with the goal of planting 1 million trees and shrubs to restore lands. “We’re currently at 648,000 plants, but after we talked with Roger, we wanted to shift the focus of this project a little and look for restoration or replanting projects specifically in areas that will be excluded from future timber harvests,” said Heeb. Several of the areas that have been planted include properties along Ten Mile Creek in the Oregon Coast Range. “Concurrent with that, we’re developing partnerships with OSU-Cascades and National Park Service on what we call the East Cascades Native Plant Hub,” added Martinson. “Wintercreek becomes the educational and propagation center for a number of satellite

nurseries throughout the West.” All of this work is tied in with President Biden’s Executive Order 14008 on tackling the climate crisis at home and abroad. Additionally, the U.S. Department of the Interior launched a decadelong challenge known as America the Beautiful which strives to conserve and restore lands through local and volunteer involvement. The WGC goals tie in with this executive order and the order’s Damian Fagan

emphasis on developing the next generation of conservation stewards. “OSU will be building an additional propagation house out at the nursery as a training facility for students,” added Martinson. With restoration projects lined out in John Day Fossil Beds, Great Basin National Park and Craters of the Moon, as well as several projects on private

land in SE Oregon, the focus will be on rewilding sagebrush steppe habitats in those areas. “We have a list of volunteers we inherited and we’ll be expanding and reorganizing that list,” said Heeb. Those seeking to volunteer with Operation Appleseed can visit that website and sign up to get access to the quarterly newsletter and upcoming events. In regard to the private property projects, WGC will go out to those areas next spring to take cuttings, bring those back to the nursery to propagate, and then use that material back at the restoration site to maintain genetic specificity. “We’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on the sale but the main question we get is: Will the nursery still be open?” said Martinson. “And it is for both wholesale and retail plant sales to the public.” Profits from the nursery will help fund the nonprofit Worthy Garden Club. Other conservation projects under WGC include the Hopservatory, Pollinator Gardens and the Worthy Organic Farm located at the brewery. “We try to coordinate efforts with what the Garden Club provides to the brewery, such as the aesthetics of the farm and the gardens and the observatory,” added Martinson. The original intent of the Club was to educate people about gardening and food production, hops research, and astronomy. With the addition of the conservation-focused projects and the purchase of Wintercreek Nursery, the Club’s mission is set to blossom again. Worthy Garden Club Worthygardenclub.com

hile most of us can’t drop our plans this weekend and buy plane tickets to Little Rock, Arkansas, to watch timber athletes live, we can tap into a live stream and support two Oregonians competing in the Stihl Timbersports U.S. Championship July 22-23. Local athletes David Green and Katelyn Page will test their skills against some of the fastest sport loggers in the country. For those unfamiliar with Timbersports, yes, it is as badass as it sounds. Athletes take hatchets, two-handed axes and 60-pound chainsaws to poles of white pine to see who can chop and slice through the rounds for the fastest time. Most events take well under a minute to hack through a round, while some events are done in under 10 seconds. Green has been on the national Timbersports scene for over a decade. He won the U.S. Collegiate Championship in 2009, and more recently placed 5th in the National Trophy event in 2018. The men compete in six different disciplines: underhand chop, stock saw, standing block chop, single buck, springboard and hot saw. Check out Sthil Timbersports’ Youtube channel for highlights and demonstrations. This is the fifth year that Stihl Timbersports will host a women’s division championship. Page has been involved in the official national scene since 2018, when she placed 8th in the National Championship. Women compete in four categories: stock saw, standing block chop, single buck and underhand chop. The rookie championship and men’s qualifying rounds will take place on Friday, July 22 starting at 10am, while both men’s and women’s championships happen on Saturday, July 23. The women’s championship will start at 1pm and the men’s championship will follow at 3pm. Oregonians who can’t make the trip can access a live stream via Stihl Timbersports’ website and YouTube channel. 2022 Stihl Timbersorts U.S. Championship

SMOKE SIGNALS Rural Oregon Counties are Lining Up Against Psilocybin Launch Umatilla is one of the latest counties to put a psilocybin service center ban on November ballot By Antonio Sierra, OPB

he next drug debate is coming to an Eastern Oregon ballot in November. On Tuesday, the Umatilla County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to put a ban on psilocybin manufacturing and service centers on the Nov. 8 ballot. Psilocybin is the active ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms, and research has indicated it may be a useful drug in treating a variety of conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder. Oregon voters legalized supervised therapeutic use of psilocybin in 2020, but the commissioners reasoned that since 62% of Umatilla County voters rejected the measure, they deserve another chance to weigh in. “Because our citizens spoke so loudly about (how) we don’t want it, we want them to have the opportunity to opt-out again,” Umatilla County Commissioner John Shafer said. Umatilla County joins several other counties in asking their voters to consider banning the psychedelic drug from being sold in the county’s unincorporated areas before a state-managed system takes effect in January. In Linn County, a commissioner said he feared access to psilocybin might lead youth to “doing things that may cost them their life” as the board sent the issue to the ballot. Jackson County commissioners approved a psilocybin referendum even as a company makes plans to turn a resort in Ashland into a psilocybin therapeutic retreat. Shafer anticipates more local ballot measures in the future. “I think you’re gonna see a lot more counties take the same action we took,”

he said. “Our neighbors to the west, Morrow County, did it before we did. I think you’re going to see a domino effect come on, especially on the eastern side of the state.” The trend is reminiscent of 2016, when the state gave local governments the ability to opt-out of legal cannabis sales. Many Eastern Oregon cities and counties justified outright bans by citing the regional split in support of 2014's Measure 91, which legalized the creation of a recreational market. But some communities in the region saw a shift in opinion after cannabis became legal. Two years after Umatilla County voters soundly rejected Measure 91, Pendleton residents voted to allow sales in 2016 as cannabis proved to be a tax boon for local governments. Pendleton wasn’t alone. Other Eastern Oregon cities like Ontario, Sumpter and Huntington also opened their doors to cannabis sales. Some Eastern Oregon communities have benefited by selling to residents of Idaho, where cannabis — and psilocybin — remain fully illegal for recreational or medicinal use. Although some communities in the region have embraced cannabis sales, Shafer said the lack of state regulation over illegal grows is another reason Umatilla County residents could be concerned about psilocybin. “This one is supposed to be more regulated than the marijuana even,” he said. “That remains to be seen. I’m not getting my hopes up on that by any regard.” Reprinted through a partnership with Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Laurie Sheck writes, “So much of life is invisible, inscrutable: layers of thoughts, feelings, and outward events entwined with secrecies, ambiguities, ambivalences, obscurities, darknesses.” While that’s an experience we all have, especially you Cancerians, it will be far less pressing for you in the coming weeks. I foresee you embarking on a phase when clarity will be the rule, not the exception. Hidden parts of the world will reveal themselves to you. The mood will be brighter and lighter than usual. The chronic fuzziness of life will give way to a delightful acuity. I suspect you will see things that you have never or rarely seen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s always advisable for you Leos to carry on a close personal relationship with mirrors. I’m speaking both literally and metaphorically. For the sake of your mental health, you need to be knowledgeable about your image and monitor its ever-shifting nuances. And according to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are now authorized to deepen your intimate connection with mirrors. I believe you will thrive by undertaking an intense phase of introspective explorations and creative self-inquiry. Please keep it all tender and kind, though. You’re not allowed to bad-mouth yourself. Put a special emphasis on identifying aspects of your beauty that have been obscured or neglected. By the way, Leo, I also recommend you seek compassionate feedback from people you trust. Now is an excellent time to get reflections about your quest to become an even more amazing human. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At your best, you are a flexible purist, an adaptable stickler for detail, and a disciplined yet supple thinker. Maybe more than any other sign of the zodiac, you can be focused and resilient, intense and agile, attentive and graceful. And all of us non-Virgos will greatly appreciate it if you provide these talents in abundance during the coming weeks. We need you to be our humble, understated leader. Please be a role model who demonstrates the finely crafted, well-balanced approach to being healthy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In my Astrological Book of Life, your life purposes as a Libra may include the following: 1. to be beautiful in the smartest ways you can imagine and smart in the most beautiful ways you can imagine; 2. to always see at least two sides of the story, and preferably more; 3. to serve as an intermediary between disparate elements; 4. to lubricate and facilitate conversations between people who might not otherwise understand each other; 5. to find common ground between apparent contradictions; 6. to weave confusing paradoxes into invigorating amalgamations; 7. to never give up on finding the most elegant way to understand a problem. PS: In the coming weeks, I hope you will make extra efforts to call on the capacities I just named. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Clive

James loved the Latin term gazofilacium, meaning “treasure chamber.” He said that the related Italian word, gazofilacio, referred to the stash of beloved poems that he memorized and kept in a special place in his mind. In accordance with astrological omens, Scorpio, now would be an excellent time to begin creating your own personal gazofilacium: a storehouse of wonderful images and thoughts and memories that will serve as a beacon of joy and vitality for the rest of your long life. Here’s your homework: Identify ten items you will store in your gazofilacium.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Keep your interesting options open. Let your mediocre options shrivel and expire. 2. Have no regrets and make no apologies about doing what you love. 3. Keep in mind that every action you perform reverberates far beyond your immediate sphere. 4. Give your fears ridiculous names like “Gaffe” and

“Wheezy” and “Lumpy.” 5. Be honest to the point of frankness but not to the point of rudeness. 6. Don’t just run. Gallop.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet Richard Hugo wrote, “It doesn’t bother me that the word ‘stone’ appears more than 30 times in my third book, or that ‘wind’ and ‘gray’ appear over and over in my poems to the disdain of some reviewers.” Hugo celebrated his obsessions. He treated them as riches because focusing on them enabled him to identify his deepest feelings and discover who he really was. In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend a similar approach to you in the coming weeks. Cultivate and honor and love the specific fascinations at the core of your destiny. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Violet Trefusis (1894–1972) and author Vita Sackville-West (1892–1962) loved each other. In one letter, Violet told Vita, “I want you hungrily, frenziedly, passionately. I am starving for you. Not only the physical you, but your fellowship, your sympathy, the innumerable points of view we share. I can’t exist without you; you are my affinity.” In the coming weeks, dear Aquarius, I invite you to use florid language like that in addressing your beloved allies. I also invite you to request such messages. According to my reading of the planetary omens, you are due for eruptions of articulate passion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’d like to honor and pay homage to a past disappointment that helped transform you into a beautiful soul. I know it didn’t feel good for you when it happened, but it has generated results that have blessed you and the people whose lives you’ve touched. Would you consider performing a ritual of gratitude for all it taught you? Now is an excellent time to express your appreciation because doing so will lead to even further redemption.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fiction-writer John Banville tells us, “There are moments when the past has a force so strong it seems one might be annihilated by it.” I suspect that’s sometimes true for many of us. But it won’t apply to you Aries anytime soon. In fact, just the opposite situation will be in effect during the coming months: You will have more power to render the past irrelevant than maybe you’ve ever had. You will wield an almost indomitable capacity to launch new trends without having to answer to history. Take full advantage, please! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Researchers have proved that lullabies enhance the health of premature babies being cared for in hospitals. The soft, emotionally rich songs also promote the well-being of the babies’ families. I bring this to your attention because I believe you should call on lullaby therapy yourself in the coming weeks. Listening to and singing those tunes will soothe and heal your inner child. And that, in my astrological opinion, is one of your top needs right now. For extra boosts, read fairy tales, eat food with your hands, make mud pies, and play on swings, seesaws, and merry-go-rounds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Dancer and singer-songwriter FKA Twigs has taken dance lessons since she was a child. In 2017, she added a new form of physical training, the Chinese martial art of wushu. Doing so made her realize a key truth about herself: She loves to learn and practice new skills. Of all life’s activities, they give her the most pleasure and activate her most vibrant energy. She feels at home in the world when she does them. I suspect you may have similar inclinations in the coming months. Your appetite for mastering new skills will be at an all-time high. You will find it natural and even exhilarating to undertake disciplined practice. Gathering knowledge will be even more exciting than it usually is.

Once we convinced them that they were good enough and deserved to be their own best cheerleaders, their pain diminished dramatically. Many were able to resume their normal duties, and with newfound confidence. Nobody better illustrates the relationship between attitude and pain than Palden Gyatso, a Tibetan monk who was imprisoned and tortured daily for 38 years by the Chinese for posting Free Tibet flyers on telephone poles. His pain was unbearable. To end it, Gyatso initially tried to taunt the guards into killing him. That failed. He eventually remembered a practice wherein one takes on the anger directed at oneself and returns it as compassion. (Don’t try this without formal training.) Although the torture continued unabated, the pain he experienced diminished significantly. (Gyatso’s story is in the book “Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk.”) Both the military patients and the monk illustrate the power of the mind in creating, managing and eliminating

No matter how old and deep those neural ruts are, you can rewire your brain. pain. While medication has its place in pain management, many patients might also benefit from exploring the possibility that their pain is an artifact of old trauma or beliefs parked in their tissues. No matter how old and deep those neural ruts are, you can rewire your brain. Pain may indicate that we need a doctor, that we need to heal our past, as Dr. John E. Sarno believed, or “our greatest dream trying to come true” (Arnold Mindell, PhD). Possibly all three. Embrace it. —Bend’s Mike Macy, LMT, is an avid skate-skier, fat-tire biker, and birder.

reviously, we wrote that the brain instantaneously parks emotional overloads in our tissues. While these continuously broadcast a state of emergency to every cell in our body, we can use the mindbody connection to evict that troublesome content. Today’s focus is on how all that relates to pain. Forget supercomy puters and Artifiac cial Intelligence, the human nervous system is the most complex, sophisticated and highly evolved enterprise known. Consisting of trillions of cells and millions of miles of neurons, etc., its primary job is ensuring our survival. Pain is an integral part of that, the nervous system’s best way of getting our attention. Abdominal pain could indicate appendicitis, gallor kidney stones, a bowel obstruction, or ulcers—all medical emergencies. A slight sensation might be our only clue that we’ve been stung or bitten by something dangerous like a spider, bee or tick. For all its sophistication, our nervous systems cannot distinguish pain that is largely physical from pain that is mostly emotional pain. When I worked in the Air Force’s pain clinic in Alaska, many patients suffered from bulging discs and other skeletal problems that were torquing, compressing or putting tension on the nervous system. But other than a previous injury that seemed to have healed, there were no obvious reason for many of the patients’ pain. To eliminate their pain for good, I needed to understand why. Eventually, I discovered three things common to the mystery pain group: First, they saw themselves as “less than” or lacking in smarts, athleticism, appearance, etc. Secondly, to a man and woman, all were highly critical of themselves. Typically, both the self-criticism and sense of inadequacy were learned from a parent, sibling, peer or authority figure. Finally, all had a pronounced band of fascial armoring around the respiratory diaphragms. Once we released that band, they could breathe more fully with less effort and were able to stand for and pass their twice-yearly physical fitness tests.
