3 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 23 / JULY 23, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

In other years, we’ve put out our annual Restaurant Guide earlier in the season, giving locals and tourists alike a guide to what’s good to eat in Central Oregon.

This year, everything is different. Restaurants and bars continue to grapple with new and changing regulations, with customers who might not be ready to comply, and with a global supply chain disruption that means rice may be on the menu one day, but off the next.

In this difficult year, our editorial board made the call to do our Restaurant of the Year awards a little different. Our Restaurant of the Year gets its distinction not just for the food and atmosphere, but also for the way it’s giving back. Not able to fully experience the brick-and-mortar restaurants that have opened this year in the same way we would other years, we’ve opted not to award a Rookie Restaurant of the Year. (Restaurants opened this year will be eligible for next year’s Rookie award!)

Food carts, on the other hand, are among the food establishments able to operate in a more “normal” way, so with that, we’ve selected two standouts to win a “tie” Rookie Food Cart of the Year. In a weird, uncertain world, this is our way of giving a hand up to the food service industry in Central Oregon.

So pull the Restaurant Guide out, save it for a time you’re craving something new, and enjoy our local establishments in the way that feels safest to you!

his week, the Bend City Council began a discussion around the possibility of implementing a 10 pm curfew in the city, in an effort to avoid the inevitable breaches of social distancing protocols that can happen when people are drinking alcohol and socializing late into the night. The idea of a curfew is only in the discussion phase right now, and, following exploration of the issue

by City staff, would likely not go into place for several more weeks, if at all.

The discussion of a curfew comes after owners of some local bars and restaurants asked city leaders for more help in enforcing social distancing requirements. As our news story in this week’s issue details, Deschutes County bars and restaurants got the “distinction” this month of having the highest number of businesses in the state reported to the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health agency by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. In other words, people in Deschutes County appear to be the least likely to abide by mask-wearing and social distancing requirements when out at bars, compared to other places in the state. As a result, the businesses may have to face hefty fines.

This is a tough situation, but a curfew is not the way to solve it. Strong City leadership is.

Placing a blanket curfew over the entire city for the bad choices of some downtown revelers sets the City up to unfairly target those who are contributing nothing to the problem—and what’s more, could introduce more profiling of people that the current Black Lives Matter protests are working to end.

If a curfew were to be implemented, Bend Police officers would be charged with enforcing it and issuing fines to the people not complying with mask-wearing and social distancing orders. Throughout the pandemic, local law enforcement officers have been reluctant to do any type of enforcement around pandemic guidelines. What’s to say that they would enforce a curfew now? As we pointed out in our June 18 editorial, Bend Police’s use of force on Black men was four times higher than the overall Black population in 2019—evidence that racial profiling can exist, even in little ol’ Bend. As that pertains to a curfew, would a Latino gas

station employee going home from work late at night be fined, while a white tourist is given a “warning?”

The Bend City Council—and Bend Mayor Sally Russell—have had many chances to take a strong leadership role and to set the tone around pandemic safety. They had an opportunity to ban short-term rentals in the spring, as the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners did, and chose not to—even while we know that tourists are a big contingent of the revelers who now flaunt social distancing requirements downtown. What’s more, tourists, more than locals trying to go back and forth from their jobs, have far more potential to bring the virus here and spread it.

Our City leaders have thus far gone the “Bend nice” route as it pertains to creating guidelines trying to avoid conflict. Their pithy “suggestion” that tourists stay away from Bend has done nothing but create confusion regarding how businesses are supposed to operate. Short-term rental numbers are about as high as they have always been.

So are usage numbers on the Deschutes River. If our community is going to turn away revenue and close businesses, then it needs to be around clear policy rather than friendly suggestions.

Implementing a curfew now does nothing to address the root of the problem, but instead spins off to some easy “moral” target for the win. The advent of a curfew places the burden of enforcement, and the economic fallout from that decision, on the backs of business owners and their employees—and on the local police who already face serious scrutiny.

If the Bend City Council truly wants to address the problem of people flaunting social distancing and mask wearing, they should take some cues from the mayors of cities such as Chicago or Washington, D.C., or the mayors of smaller cities in Italy. Take every opportunity to get in front of the public, stop tip-toeing around and trying to be Bend nice, and tell people in no uncertain terms what our regulations require. A curfew is only going to hurt the low-income workers and business owners who are already burdened by new and changing rules.

WHITENESS, COVID-19 AND OUR KIDS

The day after Bend announced a surge of Covid-19 cases in young people, I came upon a dozen white teenagers congregating on the narrow bridge connecting Columbia Park to Riverfront Street.

My 4-mile run came to a halt. The crowd slowly made a clearing for me to squeeze through. I asked where they were from.

One of them said politely, “We are from Bend.” Another young man blurted out, “I’m from my daddy’s balls! Where are you from?” I called him over and asked him why no one was wearing a mask. He said, “We don’t have to. We’re kids.” I ain’t mad at him. In my former life, I was a teacher at a large public high school. One thing I know is that adolescents mimic the adults in their lives. My ire is aimed at the parents, pastors and politicians in Bend who perpetuate the white entitlement on full display during this global pandemic.

White folks reading this eager to give the young man (and his friends) a pass would quickly drop their “boys will be boys” justifications if the boy (or the entire crowd!) was Black. Just imagine. In a city that is 92% white, incidents like this summon us to start having humble and accountable conversations about the ways that a racist society makes white people (like me!) more oblivious, defensive and entitled than ever before. The coronavirus might be “novel,” but the white supremacy isn’t.

Let’s take both outbreaks seriously. We’ve got nobody to blame but ourselves.

—Tommy Airey

this is not going away anytime soon and who knows what the next pandemic could look like. We have to be safe first and foremost. In a year round model we would have that time to quarantine for three weeks if there were a need for that and it would provide a more balanced year. There would be opportunity for outdoor learning in the summer and this might be better for parents who scramble to find camps and activities for their children all summer.

The schools could invest in event style tents and tables so children could be outside in the fresh air socially distancing in summer. It would also provide a more stable and consistent year for the children. And statistically speaking it would be better academically for our children, as Oregon is a state that goes to school the least amount of days and time in relation to the rest of the nation and it is apparent in our academic scores and number of high school graduates and those who choose higher education.

I think that sending elementary students back full force will be an epic failure as elementary schools are Petri dishes.

Young children are not as hygienically aware, especially the younger ones and this is not going to work in crowded classrooms.

I am not sure what the thought process is there. I do think the surveys sent out were completed by some but I think this decision needs to be based not just from surveys but actually listening to parents and providing a forum to voice our concerns.

MEGA DAIRIES AND MEGA POLLUTION

Bend House District 54 will be in play this November as Democrat Jason Kropf takes on Republican incumbent Cheri Helt.

What’s at stake for Bend in this election? Do

we continue to allow political influence in Salem to allow mega-dairies to set up shop in Eastern Oregon and push family farmers off the land, pollute our air and water, drain our water supplies and harm animal welfare?

Salem continues to use Eastern Oregon as a dumping ground for industrial polluters such as mega-dairies. In 2017, despite widespread public opposition, the Oregon Department of Agriculture approved the Lost Valley Farm mega-dairy in Morrow County to disastrous ends. With 30,000 cows, Lost Valley Farm began violating its permit almost immediately after opening its doors. It put our public health at risk and threatened our air and water. Hundreds of thousands of Oregon taxpayer dollars later, state agencies finally shut down Lost Valley.

Now, the Oregon Department of Agriculture is considering permitting a new mega-dairy, Easterday Farms, to operate on the former Lost Valley Farm site. Easterday Farms would house nearly 30,000 cows in an area where people’s drinking water is already contaminated by Big Ag pollution. We cannot allow Eastern Oregon to become the next hotbed for factory farm production. We need a mega-dairy moratorium now! Our communities need representation in Salem that will hold the Governor and her agencies accountable.

Stop using Eastern Oregon as a dumping ground for mega-dairies!

RE: PUBLIC SCHOOL LEADERS ARE DOING THEIR BEST. DEMANDS FOR A FULL REOPENING AREN’T HELPING. OPINION 7/17

While I do not have the answers to reopening schools and what it should look like exactly, I do think that we need to have some town hall meetings and families should be a part of the decision making on this.

Secondly, I believe that Bend La Pine Schools should implement year round school with three weeks off each quarter to include holidays as well as incorporate a hybrid model.

This would provide a way for children not to miss school or important events as we did the last three months of this school year due to this pandemic. Unfortunately,

My name is Josh Maquet and I run the Astro Lounge along with Tiffany Kreitzberg, and I’m writing in response to the recent allegations from the OLCC. The employees of the Astro care about their jobs and this community. We have meetings almost daily on how to deal with conflict resolution, how to politely but forcefully tell people to put their masks on. Three of my employees didn’t get unemployment when we shut down the first time. They suffered. I have talked with them about closing back down and they are adamant about being open. They need the job. My sales are way down.

The first week the complaint from the OLCC was that we had two girls dancing with no cocktails and no masks and an employee behind the bar had his mask down around his chin. Customers were having trouble hearing him because of the 6 foot distancing rule. Constant battle at all times.

The second weekend the OLCC was never seen at the front door or in the building and they never contacted us. We found out someone from OLCC walked by and looked in the bar from the doorway and wrote up the second report based on that.

Tiffany and I have had meetings with Emily [Freeland, Deschutes County Health Service’s Environmental Health Specialist] and an agent from the OLCC and both of them told us we were doing everything we could. We have masks at the door, we have signs, we have tape on the floor, we have separated tables, we have closed the back door on the weekends so we can just count people thru the front door, we have two people working the front and back door, we scream at people, we tell them to put their masks on constantly. Most of the people we are in contention with are from out of state. We have lost all our regulars.

They won’t come in anymore on the weekends due to all the nasty tourists.

Bill Moseley [Bend City Councilor] actually came in on Friday without a mask and screamed at Tiffany saying he was having us shut down at 10pm with the police. He was told to put a mask on or we were calling the police. After three minutes he put his mask on. I have all of this on camera. I contacted him immediately and asked him to come down at 10pm and work the front door and be the mask police. He declined.

I want more OLCC agents and OHSA agents so they can come down and manage all the people. Why are the foodservice employees made to do their work? It’s hard enough for them to live in this community with the lack of sales we have and then they have to be the mask and social distancing police as well?

The OLCC is doing what they have always done. They target the busy places to

In a recent sweep, Deschutes County bars win the “prize” for the most COVID-related health and safety complaints in the state

By Laurel Brauns

T

he Oregon Liquor Control Commission reported nine restaurants and bars in Deschutes County to the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration for violating COVID-19 prevention measures earlier this month.

The alleged violations include a handful of locations in downtown Bend.

During the first two weekends in July, OLCC representatives visited over 2,200 Oregon businesses with a liquor license.

The OLCC was following Gov. Kate Brown’s orders to “ensure restaurants, bars, other businesses, and their patrons are complying with state alcohol laws, OLCC rules, and the requirement to wear face masks in indoor public spaces.”

On July 1, Gov. Brown extended the face covering requirement to include indoor public spaces, including bars and restaurants as well as grocery stores. In a July 7 press release, OLCC’s report showed that Bend-area businesses had a higher number of non-compliant businesses compared to establishments in Portland, Salem, the north Oregon Coast and eastern Oregon.

“OLCC inspectors reported some licensees or their customers were showing clear disregard for social distancing requirements,” stated a July 3 press release from the governor’s office. Following the first and second weekends in July, OLCC officials sent two batches of complaints for COVID prevention violations to OHSA, the labor agency responsible for managing worker safety and other workplace complaints. Both weeks of the sweep, businesses in Deschutes County made up at least half of the total complaints statewide.

OSHA is currently investigating each location reported to the agency by OLCC to determine whether the claims warrant fines for the businesses involved.

During the first week of sweeps, OLCC submitted non-compliance complaints against Astro Lounge, Duda’s Billiards Bar and Wall Street Bar, General Duffy’s Waterhole in Redmond and Ferguson’s Market in Terrebonne. Four other locations in Cottage Grove, Pendleton, Springfield and Toledo also have formal complaints filed by OLCC with OSHA. By the second weekend of sweeps— July 10, 11 and 12—the OLCC started cracking down harder, issuing verbal instructions to 81 bars and restaurants in the state and forwarded another 16 incident reports to Oregon OSHA. In a press release the OLCC stated that these businesses were “willfully choosing not to follow the guidelines.”

The second week included three twotime alleged violators: The Astro Lounge, Wall Street Bar and General Duffy’s Waterhole, and new alleged violators at The Bite, Seven Nightclub and The Dogwood Cocktail Cabin and Over The Edge Tap House (Terrebonne). The Creekside Beer Garden and Cross Street Station 76, both in Prineville, were also cited. The rest were from Grants Pass, Medford, Toledo and Portland.

A few days before the OLCC reported the Wall Street Bar to OSHA for a second time, one of its employees tested positive for COVID-19, according to Dolly Miller, who manages the bar for her parents. Miller said she then shut down the bar to await instructions from Deschutes County Health Services. Miller told the Source it took the

New mask laws, first death, outbreak at nursing home, record-breaking case counts and more in the time of COVID-19

By Cayla Clark and Laurel Brauns

O

ver the last month, daily COVID-19 case counts in Oregon have soared far beyond the first peak in March.

Back then, Gov. Kate Brown shut down the state; Oregonians were told not to leave their homes for anything besides essential services and a walk around the neighborhood. This time, strict mask mandates replace lockdown, as some Oregon businesses hang on by a thread, while others have already closed their doors for good.

“I do not want to have to close down businesses again like other states are now doing,” Brown said in a statement.

“If you want your local shops and restaurants to stay open, then wear a face covering when out in public.”

As of Tuesday, 262 people in Oregon had died of COVID-19 including a 63-year-old man in Deschutes County on July 14. Since the beginning of July, daily COVID counts in the state have been between a low of

The deck off of Wall Street Bar on NW Brooks Street is a favorite hotspot of longtime locals and tourists in the know. The OLCC reported the bar twice to OSHA because its customers weren’t wearing masks on the deck.

The second time, the report came three days before the governor’s order for masks outdoors was in effect.

agency five days to return her call. Then, during the weekend of July 11, OLCC reported the bar to OSHA for “lack of social distancing and no mask use among patrons.”

“The mask regulation for customers outdoors was not in place when we got cited,” Miller said. Gov. Brown’s outdoor mask requirement for crowded public places went into effect July 15, at least three days after the second OLCC report.

“Everything changes on a day-to-day basis, with regulations changing from one authoritative figure to another—whether that’s the Oregon Health Authority, OLCC and OSHA. When rules change, it doesn’t necessarily change on their website.

“I wish there was some help for employers. All the businesses out here are trying their best to do what we can to help keep the community safe; it’s of utmost importance to me to protect my employees and patrons,” Miller said. “I’ve been buying masks by the hundreds. I have sanitizer everywhere all over the building.”

Josh Maquet who runs the Astro Lounge said the OLCC targeted the bar for several sting operations already this year, in addition to many others in the past. "The OLCC is like the Mafia," he said. Maquet told the Source his staff are vigilent about masks and social distancing for themselves

and customers because they need their jobs: three of them never received unemployment during lockdown.

At General Duffy’s, the complaint centers around its customers. OLCC officials reported the business twice because patrons were allegedly not wearing masks and not social distancing, though on both occasions the OLCC noted that the bar’s employees were wearing masks.

Overall, the vast majority of hospitality businesses in Central Oregon are following the rules, the OLCC stated in a press release. OLCC stated its incident reports were filed against only 1% of total businesses originally inspected in the state.

“It’s unbelievable that a sliver of the hospitality industry is putting at risk everyone’s reopening economic investment,” said Steve Marks, OLCC executive director. “It’s a shame that so many businesses in that industry are doing their all to protect employees and customers and just a few are gambling with everyone else’s health and livelihood.”

Investigations usually take several weeks and OSHA cannot report on any details of these investigations. Businesses could be fined anywhere from $100 to more than $100,000 for willful violations, according to Aaron Corvin, OSHA spokesperson.

168 on July 6 to the highest day on record, 437, on July 16, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

OHA attributes the recent spikes to outbreaks at workplaces, long-term care facilities and small family and friend gatherings like graduations, birthdays, weddings, holidays, fraternity parties, bachelor parties and exercise classes.

In Bend on July 15, Deschutes County Health Services announced that it was investigating a significant COVID-19 outbreak at Mt. Bachelor Memory Care in Bend. As of Tuesday, 23 residents and nine staff tested positive. OHA is tracking 30 outbreaks at senior living and group house settings, while an additional 38 outbreaks in nursing homes have been resolved since the pandemic began, according to OPB. Half of all coronavirus deaths in Oregon have been linked to group living situations.

In the midst of rapidly rising case counts, the state changed mask regulations twice over the last month. On July 1, Brown required masks in indoor public spaces. Then July 15, she began to require masks outdoors as well and indoor gatherings were limited to 10 people.

The Bend City Council approved a second administrative order discouraging travel to Bend. The order went into effect Friday. It asks hotels, RV parks and short-term rentals to pause bookings until Sept. 7.

Meanwhile, St. Charles’ Bend hospital has treated at least a dozen people for COVID-19 who were not from Deschutes, Jefferson or Crook counties, according to the Deschutes County Health Services records. These patients could be tourists or they may be coming in from Eastern Oregon as St. Charles is the only Level II Trauma Center east of the Cascades, according to its website.

Nelson-Dean told the Source that this wildfire was unique because it eventually moved into an area that had been treated by the DNF with chemicals prior to the wildfire to reduce burning.

“When at first it was running through the crown [tops] of the trees, it’s like a book of matches,” she said. “In the treated area, it dropped to the ground; it doesn’t move as rapidly and it slows the progression overall.” Low winds helped the crews keep it under control on Saturday into Sunday.

Sgt. Nathan Garibay, emergency services officer for the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, said in a statement Sunday, “With dry conditions and forecasted hot temperatures, fire danger is high throughout our region.”

Nelson-Dean reiterated that Central Oregon has now moved into an extreme fire level and the only places

The wildfire threatened the homes of 150 people living at Newberry Estates, a development at the base of Newberry National Volcanic Monument, with properties around 1 acre in size. Officials issued a “get ready” evacuation alert at 10 a.m. on Sunday, lifting it 24 hours later.

One hundred and eighty fire fighters helped out, including both the Redmond and Prineville Hot Shots, which have the most experience of any crew, and are career firefighters, according to Jean Nelson-Dean, spokesperson for DNF. “Approximately 75 firefighters using air tankers, helicopters, engines, dozers and building hand line worked on the

The major details of day-to-day life are upside down, from jobs to home life, to home-schooling, concern for older parents, claustrophobic arguments with loved ones and the basic needs questions of paying the rent. For many, it all results in a Groundhog Day effect, in which every day feels long, monotonous, and joyless.

“I’m seeing a lot of hope burnout,” said Dr. Sabrina Hadeed-Duea, who runs a private counseling practice in Bend as well as teaching courses for the OSU-Cascades’ Master of Counseling program. “Where is the light? When are we going to be done? Human beings— universally and across cultures—thrive with predictability, structure and routine. All of these are in question when you’re trying to home-school and work from home, while struggling with relationships and finances.”

Decision fatigue that comes from things like trying to plan out every detail of that trip to the grocery store can also lead to burnout. Huge ethical and existential questions go into decisions that were simple before: Should you help your neighbor and risk exposing them? Should you go to the grocery store and risk spreading the illness to others or catching it and bringing it home to your parents?

Should you order on Amazon, or is that taking advantage of essential workers?

“There’s a growing phenomenon of judgementalism,” Hadeed-Duea said.

“People feeling judged or judging others.

They’re conflicted with managing the risks of COVID, their financial needs and their child care needs and then having their actions judged by their friends or in-laws. Posting about a socially distanced barbecue they attended and then having other friends disapprove.”

Political and economic dynamics The COVID-19 pandemic has also exacerbated a range of social, racial and economic inequities in the U.S.,

increasing the stress of people disenfranchised by poverty, racism and homelessness. At the beginning of the pandemic, working-class people were suddenly lauded as “essential workers,” yet sometimes forced to labor in unsafe conditions for low wages. Both Black and Native American people have been hospitalized from COVID-19 at five times the rate of whites, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On top of this, the murder of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis exposed abuse of power and racial injustice that inspired a worldwide Black Lives Matter movement.

It’s all had a destabilizing effect on society, requiring self-examination on personal and political levels.

Even for those who had comfortable white-collar jobs before the pandemic, millions are now laid off and without health insurance. For the employed, Pixabay

The pandemic has caused extreme burnout for many Americans: the anxiety of the virus, the moral dilemma of everyday decisions, kids at home, greater demands at work, financial stressors and the feeling that there’s no end in site are starting to wear on people across the economic spectrum.

layoffs of fellow employees may mean carrying twice the work load or the fear that one’s job may also be cut in the future. As debates about cancel culture, covert racism and free speech rage through social media, the fear of getting attacked or even fired for saying the wrong thing also adds to the overwhelm.

Self care, not new hobbies So what’s the solution for all the stress and burnout?

At the beginning of the pandemic, thought leaders flooded social media with advice not to let the downtime of quarantine go to waste. William Shakespeare wrote King Lear while isolated to avoid the plague, they pointed out.

Around the same time, Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity in his parent’s country house, miles from disease-ridden London. But the pressure to use the pandemic wisely and productively may be further adding to stress and burnout.

Dr. Alex Dimitriu, a California sleep doctor, told Psychology Today that avoiding burnout may be better accomplished

by simply paying attention to basic biological needs instead of writing the next American novel.

Sleep at least seven hours and aim for eight or nine, Dimitriu said, and eat healthy—even when comfort food

seems like the right solution to pandemic stress. Exercise vigorously for 30 to 40 minutes three to four times a week, call friends and loved ones and finally get outside and play instead of opting for the couch, he said.

As people juggle home-schooling, working from home, fears of the virus, and the complications of everyday life, burnout is a normal part of the pandemic lifestyle.

A westside buffer zone protects Bend from wildfire—but the potential sale of the Skyline Forest could add more risk

By Cayla Clark

P

aul Dewey founded Central Oregon LandWatch in 1985, and recently stepped down from his role of executive director to strategic advisor— allowing him to remain on the frontlines of wildfire prevention.

“I’ve been working on these issues for the past 35 years,” he said. “LandWatch involvement in wildfire protections extends over several decades. The west side of Bend is built into the ponderosa pine forest, which has a firebased ecology. Between 20 and 25 years ago it was recognized as one of the most at-risk communities in the west, among places like Los Alamos, Missoula and Ashland. It’s because we developed so far out there.”

Dewey explained that the main priority of LandWatch is ensuring that urban developments do not extend into highrisk areas. “Plans to expand west were made in the late ‘70s,” he said. “Really, it didn’t seem like a good idea; even then.

Recent events like the Rooster Fire that happened roughly five years ago and the Two Bulls Fire reinforced how unwise it would be to build further out.”

Affordable housing is a major issue in the City of Bend, as the population continues to grow and supply and demand nudges the cost of living higher. In 2009, the City of Bend submitted its Urban Growth Boundary proposal, suggesting the city be expanded by 8,400 acres.

State officials said no, and city leaders eventually saw a far less expansive plan approved. Had the state approved the first plan, the land between Tumalo

Creek and Skyline Ranch Road would have been up for development, undeniably providing more housing (up to 5,000 new homes)—but potentially resulting in consequences far more dire than unaffordable living. Dewey believes one of LandWatch’s most notable achievements to date was effectively hindering the proposal and protecting what is now known as the Westside Transect Zone.

“The Transect Zone borders Shevlin Park and creates a buffer between the park and existing developments, which aids in wildfire safety and the protection of the wildlife habitat. Historically, the threat of fires in Bend is caused by strong winds from the northwest; fires start in the northwest and run southeast. The Transect protects Awbrey Butte, Northwest Crossing and all of the developments behind it.”

Currently, Dewey and his team are focusing their attention on Skyline Forest, an expansive piece of timberland between Bend and Sisters. “It’s the last large block of timberland in the county, and it’s up for sale,” he explained. “The forest is over 33,000 acres, and it’s on the market for over $100 million. There has been talk of developing hundreds of homes or some kind of destination resort. It’s just not the place for that.

LandWatch will be actively fighting the development of Skyline, because honestly, it’s insane.”

Dewey noted that he hoped the creation of the Westside Transect would put a stop to dangerous expansion. “In

The development of Skyline Forest could spell major timberland destruction.

a forest zone like Skyline, you can build a house on every 240 acres of land; that’s the minimum. Law requires the applicant to show that building in this zone will not significantly increase fire risk or risk to firefighters. We’ve successfully argued in the past that what was being proposed would dramatically increase risk. We litigate standards, bring in expert witnesses that attest to the development and pull data from the Oregon Department of Forestry. The more houses that are located in a forest, the greater number of fires there will be. Firefighters are required to protect structures rather

than the woods themselves; there is a very negative effect of having structures in the woods.”

Dewey says continuing to prevent urban development in high-risk areas is crucial to the well-being of local forests and Central Oregonians.

“A couple of summers ago there was smoke in the air for weeks at a time,” he said. “This is a recent phenomenon indicative of climate change and of the forests drying out. Fire should be considered the main issue when it comes to protecting the city. Really, if you look at a fire map, you’ll see that the whole county is at risk.”

Identity in question Months of isolation has also caused stress for many people stuck home alone or with a house full of children.

“Our worlds have become so small.

We’re not getting our relational needs met the way we used to,” Hadeed-Duea said. “The chats at the coffee shop, going to a favorite restaurant, a yoga class or group fitness… all of this stuff we took for granted.”

As humans, much of our sense of identity is formed by how it is reflected back to us, psychologists say. This concept of the “looking-glass self,” codified

by Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, states that part of how people see themselves comes from a perception of how others see them. People may think they are hilarious if other people laugh at their

jokes or that they are very interesting if people listen intently to whatever they have to say. During the pandemic, as video meetings become a way of life, the digital interface strips out much of the non-verbal and extra-sensory aspects of human interaction, leaving people without the endorphin-producing process of engaging with other people through both work and play.

Tips and tricks to socially distance yourself from heatstroke, while maintaining that swol’ Bend body

By Kyle Switzer decrease blood flow out to the skin, while some blood pressure medication will actually remove water and electrolytes from your body. Also, stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall can increase your overall body temperature,” Mital cautioned.

For the Bendite whose only medication is daily exercise, limiting that bike ride or afternoon run is not an option.

For that category of an individual, it’s important to respect the additional challenge that the heat brings.

“It is medically backed you can acclimate yourself to rising temperatures,” Mital explained. “Start with 10 to 15 minutes and slowly increase that over 10 to 14 days. This will give your body the opportunity to acclimate, so you don’t increase your opportunity of heat illness or heatstroke.”

Hate the heat all together? Sometimes the best option is to escape to cooler places.

“Any of the trails at or near the Three Sisters Wilderness are 10 to 15 degrees cooler during the day,” said five-time USA Trail National Champion Mario Mendoza Jr., of Bend. The mountains are always a safe bet for cooler weather, he explained, with snow freshly retreating from the area around Three Sisters. In that area, Dutchman Flat Sno-Park offers a starting place for many trail rides, while Tumalo Mountain can be

s mask regulations ramp up, quarantine continues and the monotonous day-to-day routine proves to be as strangling as the walls around your home office, exercising is a necessity. That early-morning run or after-work trip to the bike trail is increasingly becoming something of a therapy appointment.

But as the year creeps along into its hottest months, some of Bend’s popular trails prove unforgiving, dusty and sometimes dangerous, depending on the time of day. The major threat to be aware of when exercising in the summer is heat stress, which can lead to heat exhaustion, and ultimately, heat stroke.

“Heat stress can result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes,” describes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on its Heat Stress web page. “Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses and dizziness.”

As Katie Mital, a local personal trainer, clinical exercise specialist and sports nutritionist, explained, medications can make those heat-induced symptoms even worse.

“Even something as basic as anti-histamines can decrease your sweating, which is your body’s way to cool back off again. Blood pressure medication can

a cooler—and challenging—location for a more extreme runner. If the mountains aren’t an option, a river or a shaded area is also a great location to reduce the effects of heat stress.

In the end, water is ultimately the best counter for summer heat, Mendoza explained. In all his years training, he said he’s never experienced any close

encounters with heat stroke.

“Have a water jug in every car. Hot water is better than no water.” Mendoza explained. “Ice water in a bottle is helpful not just to drink but to spray on your head and neck when overheating. It helps to pick routes where you know there will be water supplies. Most importantly, listen to your body.”

Burning One Down, Without Smoke

Last year, the vape crisis was big news. It might be off the front page, but officials have still been working to make vapes as safe as possible.

By Nicole Vulcan

R

emember late last year, when the biggest thing on the health-concern horizon centered around vaporizers?

In what feels like one million years ago, but was really only 2019, at least two Oregonians died from a mysterious lung illness that researchers now believe is linked to dangerous and unregulated additives. A series of raids at illegal shops in California found that 75% of the products seized contained propylene glycol and vitamin E acetate, a thickening agent, according to a report from USA Today. And while COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter protests have eclipsed nearly any other item in the news cycle, the efforts around making vapes safer has continued.

In late June, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which regulates recreational marijuana, began the process of banning the additives that officials believe are responsible for vaping-associated lung injury, or VALI. “As of March 2020, Oregon had 23 reported cases of VALI, including two fatalities,” OLCC reported in a June 19 release. “VALI has been tentatively

linked to additives combined with cannabis oil.”

OLCC commissioners are working to ban all “processed non-cannabis additives from being added to inhalable cannabis products. Non-cannabis vaping additives are used in cannabis vaping products for a variety of purposes, including dilution, flavor, and effects. However, non-cannabis additives are not necessary to make a vape product work with vaping technology.”

The problem with additives? No one regulates them—not even the OLCC. “There is no regulatory body that evaluates the safety of these ingredients when inhaled, and additive makers do not disclose all of their ingredients due to trade secret concerns,” the OLCC wrote.

Even as the OLCC works on its regulations around what can go into vapes, the vast majority of vaporizer products on shelves today in Oregon already don’t contain non-cannabis additives. With additives in question, budtenders we talked to at Oregrown and Tokyo Starfish told us that stocking those products was not

Vaping may have gone into quarantine, but attention to unsafe additives remains.

worth the risk. But when in doubt about whether a product contains non-cannabis additives, it never hurts to ask.

So why are we bringing this up right now? Because this is our “Burn Issue.”

With that, we humbly remind you that cannabis flower, the traditional form of cannabis delivery, is still very much a thing—so go ahead and burn one down… if that’s your thing.

There’s something for everyone on “High Desert Calling.”

A

t the end of May I wrote about a new album in the works called High Desert Calling—a giant collaboration from Central Oregon artists, allowing the community to support them during the pandemic, all hosted in one place. Now the album is finally here.

Volume one features 58 tracks with genres ranging from rock, rap, folk and country. Some songs are new recordings and others are past releases. For anyone who isn’t familiar with all of the region, “High Desert Calling” is the quickest and biggest showcase of CO tunes you’ll find. The beauty of the project is that while you’ll probably find your favorite band on it, you might also discover something new that you didn’t know was from an artist right here in the community. It’s local to the core.

“I was honored to be a part of High Desert Calling! It’s very special for my song to be included in this project that is helping get local music back and grooving in Central Oregon,” said singer/songwriter Olivia Knox. “Live music has been missed during this difficult time and it’s cool for my name to be among very talented local musicians on this album.”

Knox’s featured song, “Lost Girl,” is eighth on the album. She said “Lost Girl” was inspired by the work of Bend-based business Sudara, an organization that provides living-wage job opportunities and education to women in India who have been affected by sex trafficking.

The song itself is a beautifully written acoustic ballad that makes a strong and emotional statement. Knox’s voice is undeniably great, with a slight rasp and powerful precision to hit an array of notes that seem way out of reach.

Her tone is slightly similar to that of SOAK, an incredibly talented singer/

songwriter from Ireland. “Lost Girl” is one of the standout moments on volume one of “High Desert Calling.”

Jeshua Marshall, one of the curators behind the High Desert Calling project, just released his debut solo single, “Go Go,” that also makes its debut on the tape. It’s a jazzy number that puts a little groove under your feet. Aside from the excitement for his song to be out, Marshall is particularly buzzing about the final product of “High Desert Calling.” It was his first time working on a compilation release and it took three months to get everything together.

“Being someone who has been immersed in the music scene in Central Oregon for close to 20 years, it was eyeopening to me. The amount of talent and creativity among the artists here still blows my mind. The craziest part of it is that there are at least 10 more artists I can think of who should be on this album. Good thing we aim to make Volume Two,” says Marshall.

“This is something the community needed in a time when musicians have been suffering not only a loss of income but a loss of energy and motivation in a lot of ways. Overall I’m stoked on the final product and I can’t wait to see what comes next for the High Desert Music Collective and the Central Oregon music scene as a whole.”

Other featured artists include Precious Byrd, Long Tall Eddy, Appaloosa, Honey Don’t, The Jess Ryan Band, Night Channels, Cosmonautical and many more.

High Desert Calling is available to buy or stream online on Bandcamp.

The whole compilation is available at a “name your price” deal, and those interested can also buy individual tracks from the project at the same rate.

On November 8, 2018, a raging wildfire swept through Northern California, engulfing the historic town of Paradise, destroying homes and claiming the lives of more than 80 people. With its ecology, a warming climate, and blunders by its largest utility company, California is the site of unprecedented natural disasters, including the Camp Fire, the state’s deadliest blaze to date. Academy Award®-winning director Ron Howard follows several survivors who must decide whether to leave or remain in an area that has seen unimaginable devastation. It’s a compelling portrait of a community as they come to terms with Paradise lost, or elect to remain and rebuild from the ashes.

Maiden Directed by Alex Holmes

Maiden is the story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook in charter boats, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World in 1989. Tracy’s inspirational dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure, and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up: she remortgaged her home and bought a secondhand boat, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the start line. Although blessed with tremendous self-belief Tracy was also beset by crippling doubts and was only able to make it through with the support of her remarkable crew. With their help she went on to shock the sport world and prove that women are very much the equal of men.

(Shia LaBeouf), a small time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince MAIDEN Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak’s return, to join them on their journey.

goal: to reach the site where Rebecca’s father, a U.S. Air Force pilot, was shot down in Laos more than 40 years earlier. During this poignant voyage of self discovery, the women push their bodies to the limit, while learning more about the historic ‘Blood Road’ and how the Vietnam War shaped their lives in different ways.

Ski Bum: The Warren Miller Story

SATURDAY, AUGUST 22

Peanut Butter Falcon

Directed by Patrick Creadon

Directed by Tyler Nilson, Michael Schwartz

SKI BUM: THE WARREN MILLER STORY chronicles the life and times of the legendary filmmaker who, through his annual ski films and national tours which began in the early 1950’s, was a driving force in the development and promotion of the ski industry in America and throughout the world. Miller, who died last year at 93, sat months before his passing for his final interview. He reminisced about living off rabbit stew and sleeping in a teardrop trailer in his endless JURASSIC PARK pursuit of the perfect ski run and he explained in great detail the challenges - both personal and professional he faced over the course of his career. Ski Bum was the Opening Night film of the 2019 BendFilm Festival.

A modern Mark Twain style adventure story, THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON tells the story of Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with Tyler

Stay Off My Lawn

Bend Park and Recreation District prohibits all outdoor events, to the frustration of local thespians

By Cayla Clark

Socially distanced thespians rehearse "Songs For a New World," which actors will perform drive-in style in the New Hope Church parking lot.

A

s of July 15, Oregonians are required to wear masks outdoors if unable to maintain a safe 6 -foot distance from other people. Still, anyone driving by Drake Park on Saturday afternoon might assume these additional guidelines were not in place. Throngs of swimsuit-clad, tube-toting locals (and tourists) finish floating the river there—face coverings absent. And there are as many of them as in other years, park officials say.

“Bend appears to be as busy as in past summers, based on river use data we’ve collected so far, and distancing with this level use is challenging,” explained Michael Egging, Bend Parks and Recreation District’s recreation business manager. “Encouraging voluntary compliance is our most effective tool, and we ask for everyone’s help to maintain safety for the community. Our park stewards are regularly visiting all river parks as well as other parks and trails to encourage enforcement.

Stewards are out to educate and encourage compliance. This summer, we have a couple additional park stewards, beyond what we’ve had in recent summers.”

But as outdoor fun continues full steam ahead, other happenings in the parks are a no-go.

Local choreographer Michelle Majeski said she reached out to BPRD with a compliant plan for a local arts fundraiser, but didn’t get the answer she’d hoped for.

“I thought it’d be a great idea to organize an outdoor fundraiser for Cascades Theatrical Company,” she explained.

Bend’s only black box theater has been closed since Gov. Kate Brown first imposed restrictions this spring. “I tried to get a hold of the woman at Bend Parks and Rec who’s in charge of booking. I left her a voicemail and she never returned my call.

Still, to this day. Weeks have passed since I first reached out. I have a friend who works with Parks and Rec, and I asked him if there was anyone else I could speak with.

He gave me an email, and I reached out to this gentleman and asked for a meeting to discuss a fundraiser for the arts, specifically for CTC. This has been an extremely hard time for local theater, and CTC has suffered severe financial hardship. The arts need community support right now.”

Majeski said she’d hoped to host 200 people, but would have settled for 100.

“The event would easily follow guidelines, with no more than eight people on the stage, all 6 feet apart. The show itself consists of one soloist singing a song

with a collaboration at the end, it would be very easy for the cast to follow protocol. Ushers would seat people on blankets that could be up to 15 feet apart, masks would be mandatory, we would have sanitizing stations. I put all of this into the email. I didn’t have the opportunity to meet with anyone. An absolute, hard, ‘no,’ that was my answer.”

Egging says BPRD has the best interest of community members at heart. “We look forward to being able to host events again in our parks,” he said. “We recognize and appreciate the value that these events have in connecting people to each other and our community, providing enriching activities, and preserving our culture, among other benefits. Still, as this pandemic continues, we encourage residents to follow the guidance that says avoiding large gatherings is the safest option and the fastest way for our community at large to get back to normal.”

Some local thespians have been successful in thinking outside of the box.

Local director and owner of Musical Impressions Studios, Angelina Anello-Dennee, organized a thematic musical, to be performed drive-in style in the New Hope Church parking lot Aug. 14.

“Theater is really difficult to do at all right now, we definitely had to get creative,” she said. “Our cast is very small, there are only eight of us so we can rehearse within guidelines. Everyone is 15 feet apart.” She noted that her heavy involvement with the church made the process easier. “I’m renting the stage and paying their sound person, but they’re not charging me for the grass space or the radio signal. They read the show and they loved the theme; they’ve been very accommodating.”

But beyond private locations, Majeski believes having outdoor theater in a public setting would be beneficial to the community. “What we need during this time is art. Connection, experience,” she said. “The one way we could do that is in an outdoor venue with guidelines in place, and knowing we can’t do that— that there won’t even be any consideration —is really very saddening.”

ome of the most defining moments of my life took place at the local drive-in near where I went to high school in Grants Pass, Oregon. Sitting in the bed of a filthy pick-up truck watching Jodie Foster’s “Contact” is where I had my first beer and kiss, within about five minutes of each other.

When drive-ins started going the route of video stores and dodo birds, I was pretty dismayed and confused: Why wouldn’t people wanna avoid all the strangers and see movies from the comfort of their own cars?

For years I’ve been thinking it’s time for drive-ins to make their comeback and, in the era of social distancing, there really couldn’t be a better time than right now. BendFilm is not only launching a pop-up drive-in, but Tin Pan Theater is projecting movies in the alley outside the theater.

Todd Looby, filmmaker and executive director of BendFilm, has the same connection to drive-ins as I do.

“When I made my first attempts at films I set up sheet screens in my parents’ and friends' yards to premiere these films and it was magic,” Looby explained. “A few years ago, I drove by the Milton-Freewater Drive-In on a Christmas trip to see my in-laws. It hit me then that you could do a “pop up” drive-in, and I have been slowly pushing in that direction since.”

July 25 will see BendFilm Pop-Up Drive-In host the world premiere of “The Last Blockbuster” documentary from local filmmakers Taylor Morden and Zeke Kamm.

“If you had told me at any point in my life that I would be able to make a movie about renting movies and show it at a DRIVE-IN theater... I never would have believed you,” says Morden. “There’s something magical about a movie about movies in a nearly obsolete format (VHS/DVD) being shown at a drive-in theater which is also a mostly obsolete format. It felt like a once in a lifetime confluence of events.”

For the last few weeks, Tin Pan Theater and the bar San Simón have teamed up to do Monday Movies, projecting classic films outside in Tin Pan Alley.

“When the opportunity came from the city to close the alley, we immediately thought films in the alley would be perfect for both of our customer bases and, again, an opportunity to have really safe, fun, uplifting and community-focused events,” Looby said. “The two Mondays we’ve hosted so far have been awesome.

I love seeing people alive, smiling, safely dancing in their seat to the Talking Heads or Blues Brothers. Watching that, I couldn’t help thinking, why would anyone want to be somewhere else?”

There is something uniquely magical about watching movies outdoors.

In a time when getting packed like sardines into a Regal Cinema is seeming more and more outlandish, it’s a way to keep the theatrical experience alive without sacrificing safety. Drive-Ins are making a comeback nationally, but would the business model still be sustainable post-COVID? According to Looby: “There will have to be some changes from landowners,

insurance companies, and film distributors to drive costs down as the financial gain isn’t there right now. We’ve been lucky with such great partners as Deschutes Brewery, HydroFlask and some of the distributors and sponsors that have signed on, but you won’t get the same in other towns to make the overall trend viable in the long-term without some changes.”

In a time when the divides between Americans seem to be getting deeper and further apart, it really could be something as simple as “The Last Blockbuster” or “The Blues Brothers” that helps remind us of our similarities instead of our differences. More than his abiding love of movies, it’s easy to tell that Looby’s real passion is bridging divides and reminding people about the things we carry in common.

Looby summarizes beautifully: “All we ask is that people come out to our events and allow themselves just a couple of hours to relax, smile, laugh, and feel in the midst of strangers and even friends they haven’t seen in a while.

We all owe that to ourselves during such an incredibly difficult time and we will come out of this much, much better if we do engage directly.” Can’t argue with that.

Masks in the Outdoors GO HERE New state guidelines require masks outside when physical distancing is not possible. So what’s the real risk?

s the summer goes on and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage in the U.S., many people are spending more time outside. Some locations offer plenty of solitude and distancing—but at busy local places like the Deschutes River Trail or Smith Rock State Park, it’s very possible to be within someone else’s 6-foot physical bubble.

With people spending so much time outside, more questions come to mind.

How does the virus spread outdoors?

Does wind blow the virus away? And why has Oregon Gov. Kate Brown issued a new order to wear masks when outdoors?

“Starting on Wednesday July 15, face coverings will also be required outdoors if you cannot maintain a physical distance,” Gov. Brown stated last week. “Any time that you are outdoors, cannot maintain a physical distance of 6 feet, and you are with people you don’t live with, please, please, please, put on your face covering.”

In response to statewide guidelines, Bend Park and Recreation District recently updated its rules and regulations regarding COVID-19, now requiring all visitors of trails and parks to maintain a 6-foot distance from others outside the group they came with. If that’s not possible, people 12 and older

Annual Deschutes River Cleanup takes place July 25

Masks are now required outdoors if maintaining a 6-foot physical bubble is impossible, so grab a mask when heading out to the Deschutes River Trail and other crowded outdoor areas. While the coronavirus is still contagious outside, thanks to the wind and constant air circulation, it’s much safer to meet friends and family outdoors than in poorly ventilated indoor spaces.

home when possible, wear a mask when in public, wash your hands frequently and physically distance from those not in your immediate households.”

Outside, a main way the virus tends to spread outdoors is through wind, explained Dr. Tomislav Meštrović at News Medical Life Sciences. Still, a light wind will weaken the virus, and although people within the area are

“We appreciate all those of you who are doing your part to stay home when possible, wear a mask when in public, wash your hands frequently and physically distance from those not in your immediate households.”

—Joe Sluka, St. Charles Health System President and CEO are required to wear a mask. For children ages 2 to 12, a mask is not required but still recommended.

“Sadly, we also experienced the first two deaths of Central Oregon residents from the virus, one in Crook County and one in Deschutes County. Our thoughts go out to the families and friends of these individuals and all those suffering due to impacts from the ongoing pandemic,” wrote Joe Sluka, St. Charles Health System President and CEO, in a July 20 press release.

“When virus numbers climb, we do become concerned about the long-term impact on our patients, caregivers and community. This is where your actions continue to make a huge difference in our success. We appreciate all those of you who are doing your part to stay

potentially exposed, it’s far less of a risk than being indoors with other people.

Coronavirus molecules don’t tend to get carried very far in the wind, as stated in an article by Melissa Bronstein, director of infection prevention and control for Rochester Regional Health.

Although wind may increase the distance covered by the virus, it won’t stay in the air long, she explained. Additionally, humidity can help in slowing the travel of particles. Hotter weather appears to be safer, too; according to researchers from Harvard Medical School, MIT and other institutions, transmission of the virus has been proven to be reduced in average temperatures over about 77 degrees.

The virus transmits most when particles are trapped with poor ventilation

and people are not following health guidelines, including wearing a mask and physically distancing, the World Health Organization has stated.

“We really do think that being indoors is where most of the transmission is occurring,” wrote Shelly Miller, professor of environmental engineering who studies indoor air quality at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

“And it’s pretty rare now to see anything related to outbreaks from outdoor conditions.” Specifically, the virus has been seen to transmit through air conditioning systems, says the World Health Organization. Since central air conditioning constantly recirculates the same inside air throughout a building and doesn’t tend to use outside air because of the hot temperature, it can result in inadequate, unclean air.

When it comes to getting the virus, it’s far safer to be outdoors versus indoors, stated Linsey Marr, an engineering professor and aerosol scientist at Virginia Tech in an article in The New York Times. “There’s so much dilution that happens outdoors. As long as you’re staying at least 6 feet apart, I think the risk is very low,” she stated.

Since very light winds and air currents scatter virus particles, the chances of catching it from mere exposure to outdoor air is negligible. As Eugene Chudnovsky, a physicist at Lehman College and the City University of New York’s Graduate Center, said, “A single virus will not make anyone sick; it will be immediately destroyed by the immune system. The belief is that one needs a few hundred to a few thousand of SARS-CoV-2 viruses to overwhelm the immune response.”

The Deschutes River blesses people with endless hours of float-oriented fun over the summer—so the least we can do is help keep it clean! Beyond its opportunity for a variety of recreational activities, the Deschutes is a major part of Central Oregon’s economy. From the crops it helps water, to the fly shops that rely on a bounty of trout, the Deschutes is essential to our economic functioning.

The 24th annual Deschutes River Cleanup, hosted by the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, is set to take place on July 25 from 10am-1pm. Volunteers will pull invasive weeds and collect litter from the stream banks of five locations: Sawyer Park, Riverbend Park, Meadow Camp, McKay Park and First Street Rapids Park.

In order to effectively practice social distancing, volunteers are required to sign up ahead of time.

Each site will be limited to 20 people, who are encouraged to come equipped with comfortable shoes, gloves, a hat, water and snacks. Trash bags provided!

Real Estate Inventory is at an All-Time Low

I

n recent years the Central Oregon real estate market has been no stranger to low inventory. In June 2020, the region took a dip to less than one month of inventory for the city of Bend. Inventory is the number of homes actively for sale. There just isn’t enough housing inventory for the number of active buyers looking to buy.

The shortage of homes available causes prices to rise in areas where the in-migration outweighs the out-migration.

It’s no secret that Central Oregon has become a hot spot for not only tourism, but also where people are wanting to move to escape from urban areas. That has now been amplified by the novel coronavirus, and in my opinion, even more so with the latest virus surge in metropolitan areas. In the Central Oregon markets, we’re seeing a tremendous number of out-of-county and out-of-state buyers, fueled by interest in areas that are considered “rural,” where people can get outside and the population base is far from dense. Believe it or not, Central Oregon, even Bend, is still considered to be a rural area. So, as people are moving to the area in droves, the inventory is tighter than has been in years past. As a result, pricing and market values are increasing, because buyers are willing to pay higher prices to live in the desired area.

What does it mean for a seller? This type of market, also known as a “seller’s market,” is generally great for sellers. If a property is priced appropriately and within the current market parameters, the interest and activity is generally very high. The average days on market decreases and the likelihood of getting close to or at listing price is very good. Buyers who

are competing for properties in this type of market tend to be pre-qualified, ready to bring their best offer to the table at first submission, if well-counseled.

A buyer looking to purchase a home where competition is high and the coveted prize of inventory is low needs to have their proverbial ducks in a row.

That means being very clear on down payment ability, having a pre-qualification or pre-approval letter from their lender ready to go and being prepared for the reality that time is of the essence when writing an offer. Buyers in this current market are less and less able to take days to consider making an offer, because more than likely there are several other buyers considering the same property.

The buyer’s offer needs to be strong, with their best foot forward. If a seller knows that there have been 10 showings in two days, that seller may very easily pass on a weaker offer simply because they know there are few houses on the market and triple the buyers looking.

For homeowners who aren’t looking to sell, all of this works in their favor as well. As market prices increase, so does the market value of their home. This in turn increases the equity and overall household wealth.

The limited inventory also has effects on households looking to sell or not. It is my opinion that we will continue to experience a massive shortage of inventory and a very competitive market in Central Oregon for quite some time. With the desire for urbanites to relocate, coupled with the record-low interest rates recorded just last week, this market will continue to move and move quickly.

guy who moved into my apartment complex. I can tell that he’s into me, but he’s not my type at all. What should I say to tell him I’m not interested?

—UncomfortableTelling a guy you aren’t interested before he asks you out is like coming up to a stranger in a bar and saying, “This seat taken? By the way, I find you sexually repellant.”

Rejection shouldn’t be thrown around like croutons to geese. Social psychologist Mark Leary notes that romantic rejection can lead to people feeling ashamed for being “inadequately valued” by someone they’re romantically interested in.

The shame comes out of how high social status (being extremely valued by others) evolved to be the Amex Black Card of human interaction. It comes with important benefits, such as better access to resources, including a better choice of romantic partners.

However, though shame is painful, the notion that it is a “bad,” maladaptive emotion is based in assumptions that passed for science (from 1971 by clinical psychologist Helen Block Lewis) that failed to look for the possible function of shame.

Emotions are evolved motivational tools that drive us to act in ways that enhance our survival and mating opportunities and help us pass on our genes.

Accordingly, cross-cultural research by evolutionary psychologist Daniel Sznycer suggests that shame is a “defensive system” that motivates us to behave in ways that keep us from being devalued or further devalued by others in our social world. In a harsh ancestral environment, this could have kept us from being thrown out of our band and starving to death and/ or getting eaten by a tiger. In the current environment, where food is plentiful and tigers mainly exist in cartoon form on cereal boxes, if you can avoid making a guy feel ashamed, it’s a good idea.

A feminism- and #MeToo-driven feature (or bug) of the current environment is that men are often afraid to be direct with women they’re into: “Don’t ask for what you want; just stare at it and hope it trips, falls into your lap, and decides you’re attractive.” If this guy seems interested but remains mum, there’s no reason to humiliate him by telling him you don’t find him attractive. Avoid flirty talk and body language and situations that could slide into makeout sessions, like Netflix ’n’ chillin’ together.

If he does ask you out or make a move, be immediately clear and direct:

“I’m only interested in you as a friend.”

(Ambiguous brushoffs like, “It’s not a good time” send the message, “Try again at a later date!”) If you can act like nothing awkward has happened between you, it should minimize his humiliation and shame. Sadly, sometimes “the birds and the bees” is a category that also includes “the vegetables,” as in, “I like you as a person, but I find you sexy like a potato.”

Bleachable Moments I’m a 27-year-old elementa-

ry school teacher. My boyfriend wants to film us in bed, but I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it. I can’t help but play out some nightmare scenario that we break up and he does something awful with the footage. He’s a good guy, and I trust him, but this still seems like a reasonable fear to have. Should I just calm down and go with it, or should I tell him my fears?

—Ms. Anonymous Amy Alkon

Your willingness to appear on video doing dirty hot yoga and making wounded animal noises should be directly disproportionate to how big you are on, say, keeping your job as a first grade teacher.

No matter how careful your boyfriend swears he’ll be, the reality is that any day can be turned into Casual Privacy Elimination Friday. Consider that “Oh, no...they hacked our cloud!” gets blurted out at major health care institutions with gazillion-dollar IT security.

Also, as you note, today’s “I love you” can shift to tomorrow’s “I will ruin you!” and whoops, how did your sex tape get posted to 65 different websites in under an hour?

If you’re like many women, you find it hard to say no to requests from a person you love. Women tend to have more helpings of the personality trait “agreeableness,” which manifests in being kind, generous, warm, and cooperative. Research by psychologists William Graziano and Nancy Eisenberg suggests the underlying motivation is maintaining smooth, positive relationships with others.

However, just because you’re motivated to act in a certain way doesn’t mean you should, like when the cost of being “cooperative” could be potential career ruin. Steel yourself, and explain to your boyfriend that you really want to say yes, but you just can’t risk your students answering the question, “So, what did you learn in school today?” with “Teacher Likes It Kinky.”

have a rebellious adolescence—hopefully bigger and better and smarter than any you’ve had before. And according to my analysis, now would be a favorable time to get started. Is there any stuffy authority you’d be wise to fl out? Any dumb and oppressive conventions you would benefi t from breaking? Any stale old traditions you’re primed to ignore so you can create some lively new traditions? In my estimation, you will generate good fortune for yourself if you try some benevolent mischief and creative experiments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your word of power

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Actress Gwyneth Paltrow founded Goop, a company that markets exotic, expensive health treatments. She claims that far-infrared gemstone therapy and crystal-based sound-healing baths will dissolve your negativity.

Allowing bees to sting your scars will supposedly cause the scars to fade. Drinking “sex juice,” a blend of watermelon and alkaline water, will enhance your libido. The “collagen martini,” which is a mix of vodka, vermouth, olive juice, and collagen peptides, will smooth your skin’s wrinkles. I’m favorably disposed to you taking strong actions to improve your well-being in the coming weeks, Pisces, but I recommend that you try cheaper, more reliable modalities than those Paltrow recommends. Like what?

Ample sleep and good food, for starters, along with fun exercise, time in nature, enjoyable meditation sessions, and tender expressions of love. the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.” Aries playwright Samuel Beckett made that observation, and now I’m passing it on to you as you glide into an extra-creative phase of your astrological cycle. I hope you will regard Beckett’s idea as an open-ended encouragement to improvise and experiment. May it rouse you to brainstorm about novel possibilities. May it inspire you to explore fresh trends you could launch. May it mobilize you to imagine the new worlds you might Big Bang into existence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “The size of your

dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them,” says Scorpio-born Liberian politician Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. “If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” I trust you’ve arrived at this realization on your own in the past few weeks. And I hope you have audaciously expanded and supercharged your dreams so that they do indeed surpass your current ability to accomplish them. If you have not yet done this daring work, please attend to it now. If you have done it, move on to the next step: making definite plans to acquire the power and resources necessary to achieve your new, improved dreams.

erman tells us, “So often loneliness comes from being out of touch with parts of oneself.” That’s the kind of loneliness I worry you may be susceptible to right now, Taurus. You’re a bit out of touch with aspects of your psyche that are crucial for you to include in your total sense of self. You’ve been neglecting to nurture certain soulful qualities that keep you healthy and wise. Please note: It won’t be useful to try to find those parts of you in other people; you will have to locate them in your own depths. Here’s the good news: The coming weeks will be an excellent time to do just that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The soul should always stand ajar,” wrote Sagittarian poet Emily Dickinson, “That if the heaven inquire, / He will not be obliged to wait, / Or shy of troubling her.” I’m confident that this will be a fertile meditation for you in the coming weeks. So what does it mean? By “heaven,” I assume Dickinson meant marvelous interventions, sacred revelations, and lucky accidents—and maybe also soulful invitations, out-of-the-blue opportunities, and supernatural breakthroughs. What do you think, Sagittarius? What can you do to make your soul ajar for phenomena like those?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everything is complicated,” wrote poet Wallace Stevens. “If that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.” I agree! And therefore, I conclude, you should shed any resentment you might feel for the fact that our world is a crazy tangle of mystifying and interesting stories. Drop any wish that life will stop being so fascinatingly messy and confusingly intriguing. Instead, why not celebrate the deep riddles?

And revel in the intriguing complexity? And give holy thanks for the paradoxical beauty? Everything I just said should prepare you well for the next four weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be extra sensitive to stimuli in the coming weeks. Every little event will touch you more intensely than

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The creation of

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Someone ought to do it, but why should I?” Author and activist Annie Besant identified that sentence as the motto of people who are moral cowards: those who know about an injustice but do nothing to address it.

Very few of us have completely avoided that behavior. Most of us, including me, have now and then chosen to serve our need for comfort instead of standing up against corruption or unfairness.

But I think it’s more important than usual that you Geminis don’t engage in such moral cowardice now. More depends on your integrity and bravery than you realize.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Born in 1936, Cancerian author and activist June Jordan was a black feminist bisexual born to Jamaican immigrant parents. When she was growing up, her father beat her and her mother committed suicide. Later, she raised her child alone as a single mother.

Despite the challenges she faced, she published 28 books, won numerous awards, and wielded significant influence. How did she do it? She was a highly evolved Cancerian in the sense that she put a priority on treating herself well. “I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect,” she testified. I’d like to make that your keynote for the rest of 2020. Your task is to achieve June Jordan-levels of self-care.

for the coming weeks is ubuntu, a Zulu term meaning “I am because we are” or “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”

Nobel Prize-winning theologian Archbishop Desmond Tutu writes, “A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished.” I hope that between now and August 25, Libra, you will put ubuntu at the center of everything you do.

Make it an intensely practical practice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “How can I communicate to wild bunnies that I am their ally?” asked a Twitter blogger named Ghost Girl. That question is a good place to start my oracle for you. In the coming weeks, I think you’ll be wise to meditate on how to enhance your relationship with all kinds of wild things: animals, people, weather, landscapes, and your own exotic thoughts and fantasies. In my opinion, you will upgrade your intelligence and well-being by increasing your access to influences that don’t necessarily play by conventional rules and that draw their energy from primal sources.

Beach Life Pineapple Pale Ale Pale ale fans will probably find lots to love with Beach Life Pineapple Pale Ale. The pineapple flavor is spot-on; not too much of it and not too sweet. It still feels like you’re drinking a good pale ale, only it has an added bit of tropical fun. The Beach Life is brewed with Amarillo and Mandarina Bavaria hops to help accentuate the fruity notes, and at 6.2% ABV this is a dose of pineapple you could enjoy for a long day under the sun. How can it not succeed?

I liked it so much that we ended up bringing a growler
