This week in the life of a weekly newspaper editor: Co-hosting our latest Love Your Neighbor forum, with a panel of Black Central Oregonians. (Catch a followup video interview with some of the panelists on our website this week.) And in preparation for the Redmond issue: Strolling the streets of the Hub City to get a sense of where things stand in Central Oregon’s second-largest town. The verdict: While some businesses have closed, other new ones continue to open up. What’s more, the economic picture there is perhaps not quite as concerning as Bend’s. See more on Redmond’s economy in this week’s News section, an update on the new food spots opening in Redmond in our Chow section, and so much more on Redmond in this fine issue you hold in your hands.

t seems like a decade ago that we were bearing witness to the repeated Republican walkouts within the Oregon Legislative Assembly. In reality, that most recent round of hapless Republican posturing happened only back in March.

Way back then, after yet another walkout over legislation intended to slow the effects of climate change, we and many other Oregonians were having a hard time seeing a path forward.

Democrats and Republicans, even in Oregon—far from the halls of Washington, D.C.—appeared incapable of working together to solve some of the state’s most pressing issues. While Bend’s representatives, including Sen. Tim Knopp (R-OR27) and Rep. Cheri Helt (R-OR54) stayed at the Capitol that time, the rest of their party absconded, putting Oregon in the national spotlight for its inability to work through its differences.

As COVID-19 continues to rage in the United States, and the picture for economic recovery appears bleak, there’s lots to be concerned about. Add in the justified unrest over police brutality and you’ve got even more concern and uncertainty.

But if there’s a bright spot to all of this upheaval, it might be this: Republicans and Democrats in Oregon are working together again.

On June 26, the Oregon Legislature wrapped up a marathon threeday special session, passing a host of bills related to police reform and COVID-19 relief, and even tackling some environmental issues.

Police-related bills included banning the use of chokeholds (with the exception of when deadly force is necessary), allowing the use of tear gas only after cops have announced they intend to use it, establishing a state database of records about police discipline and establishing a Joint

Committee on Transparent Policing and Use of Force Reform. All of these, surprisingly, passed both chambers of the Legislature with little fuss.

Bills related to housing relief in the wake of COVID-19, while many Republicans voted against, still passed and moved forward. In the end, bills that extended Oregon’s moratorium on commercial and residential evictions to Sept. 30, and another one barring lenders from pursuing foreclosures on property owners through Sept. 30 also passed.

Heck, even a bill around the spraying of pesticides on forest lands, that brings together environmental groups and representatives from the forest industry, passed with only two “nays” among both the Oregon House and Senate.

A marathon short session such as this, in which so much gets done, shows that indeed, this legislative body can work together. Oregon senators and representatives can work through their differences. If this difficult time of coronavirus shutdowns and ongoing street protests and calls for an end to racial profiling and police brutality has an up-side, it’s that it has caused a lot of people—and also a lot of groups, agencies and businesses, and even the Oregon Legislative Assembly—to hit the “reset” button. Our priorities as Oregonians go beyond the “R” or the “D” or even the “I” on our voter registrations. Kudos to the Oregon Legislature for working together, as it should, this time around. When the next short session comes around—likely this August— to tackle the state’s budget shortfall, we’re going to need to see this strong spirit of cooperation continue.

And wouldn’t it be nice to see them get in that spirit when we once again begin to tackle the issue of climate change?

Thank you for your editorial Some Want You To Believe Protesters Are “Outsiders.” Don’t Believe Them. I’m often dismayed by the ‘exclusionary’ identity that Oregonians seem to hold, that seems to even be capitalized on in our town (bumper stickers that read, “Bend sucks, don’t move here”, etc.).

Though I recognize that this identity is not unique to Oregon or our area, we can’t deny that this facet of the Oregonian identity is steeped in actual racist black exclusion laws. These laws not only denied people of color access to the state, they seem to have permeated and stood the test of time as a defining identity of the state (and even more exclusive, identities between towns in the state). I appreciate you calling out the need for our community to deny these claims, as not only are they untrue, they are dangerously alienating. The hypocrisy of the predominantly white populace of Oregon is that the very people that created exclusion laws and perpetuate this identity today, are those that were and are living on stolen Indigenous land.

Acknowledging and reconciling history is imperative to moving toward a just community. If we ever want to believe that we are a kind community, we have to kick this exclusionary identity.

REDMOND POLICE ARREST

It is very interesting that our own DA stated that a Redmond officer’s act of sexual misconduct was a predatory act of power over a sick, dependent individual and there are NO sex charges filed. People have served prison sentences for less than what this officer did, and he isn’t even threatened with charges or with the devastating sex offender listing that any conviction carries. He’s charged only with “police misconduct.” Something stinks.

and gas peaceful protestors for any reason, but especially not for something as frivolous and goofy as a photo op. Trump has repeatedly misunderstood that governments and Reality TV shows are two different things, which would not be a problem if he were running a TV show.

But I am most disturbed when I contemplate what dictator-wanna-be Trump might do when he realizes that he is going to lose the election. I doubt that he has ever lost a confrontation as an adult, and since Winning (with a capital W) confrontations is his main raison d’etre, what will happen when it appears as if he is going to Lose (with a capital L) one of the two biggest confrontations of his life? Will he try to end our democratic form of government? Or will he, as Commander-In-Chief of the equivalent of more than 100,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs, threaten to blow up the world because if he cannot be President, no one can? I cannot envision him graciously accepting the loss and expressing his support for the new President as all past Presidential Election losers have done. I’m pretty sure that he is not psychologically built like that because his most contemptuous epithet which he often tags people with is “loser.”

Trump’s former National Security Advisor and solidly Republican hawk John Bolton was asked, “if Trump loses the election, do you think that he will leave?” John answered that the Republican Party would force him out as it had done Nixon. He was then asked, “do you think it would do that?” John answered, “I hope so.” That conversation would have been unimaginable from 1776 until four years ago, and it illuminates the real—not fake—possibility that Donald Trump could end or try to end our 244-year-old democratic form of government. Trump’s former Secretary of Defense General James Mattis has named him a threat to the U. S. Constitution!

The next few months are going to be intense. America has caught an obsessively egomaniacal tiger by its tail, so now what will it do with him? And more importantly, what will he do with America?

Deschutes County website indicates testing has been expanded to include "mild" symptoms. It doesn't say anyone - regardless of symptoms or not- can request a test.

If this is the case then it would be convenient of your agency to not report the total number of tests performed, as a small number would significantly increase the percentage of positives.

When I talk to people locally I hear, "there's no virus around here" or "we don't have many cases here". You are doing an injustice to the residents of Deschutes County by deluding them into thinking they are safe and not at risk of either transmitting or contracting the virus.

Coming from Nevada where in most instances anyone can get tested - and it is encouraged - our numbers there might be distasteful but they are realistic.

Thank you in advance for your response.

PACK IT OUT AND PLAY IT FORWARD I’ve always appreciated Bend’s access to outdoor activities and environments, a sentiment shared by many, especially as we deal with the multitude of COVID restrictions and impacts. In particular, I’m seeing an increase in folks “dry or dispersed” camping on BLM and National Forest lands, where services such as restrooms and garbage pick-up are not provided. Unfortunately, I’m also seeing an increase in general trash, tissue potty

“flowers,” and dog poop bags in these areas. Perhaps people still think that someone will be coming out to clean up these rogue sites. Such is not the case.

While outdoor experiences can serve to refresh, none are refreshed by the trash of those campers who choose to ignore the edict to PACK IT OUT. Whether you are just visiting or have made your home outdoors, please be a good neighbor and clean up after yourself.

As a self-proclaimed Earth Steward, I’ve taken to slipping a garbage bag and some latex gloves into my daypack so I can pick up trash where I find it. This I can do; it is my way of paying it forward where I play- leaving the trails and forests better for us all. Turns out, I’m the “someone” I’ve been waiting for…and so are you.

The Long Slog Back to Baseline

In Redmond, an economic recovery that’s looking slightly stronger than Bend

Adapt. Evolve. Support.

T

hese words were a common theme among Redmond’s small business owners who have turned toward one another and the City of Redmond for support during the darkest economic times in nearly a century.

Jon Cruz, along with his wife Katie, owns HIIT Logic, a boutique gym that hosts small workout classes in Tumalo and downtown Redmond. Gyms were closed completely during state lockdowns, and when the state allowed them to reopen in Phase Two, it was under strict guidelines.

“We were hit pretty hard,” Cruz said.

“My wife Katie and I worked four times as hard [over the last three months] for half the revenue.”

The couple transformed their studio’s entire business model in a matter of weeks, building a new website and purchasing audio-visual recording equipment to offer live virtual classes three times a day. The key was to stay competitive not only in Central Oregon, but in the new national cyberscape of professionally produced online workouts.

“It’s a fascinating time to be a business owner,” Jon Cruz said. “I think it’s changed the [fitness industry] model forever. To be a success you have to have the live/online model.”

When it was time to reopen, the City of Redmond supported HIIT Logic and other small businesses with the bulk of the sanitation supplies they would need to run a safe and legal operation.

Cruz received a gallon bucket of sanitizing wipes. He now ends all his classes

15 minutes early to make sure every surface is wiped down.

Central Oregon’s tourism-driven economy But while a fitness or a yoga studio has the ability to shift to an online model, tourism-based businesses rely on real people coming through the door.

Deschutes County’s unemployment numbers—16.3% in May, according to the Oregon Employment Department—indicate the hospitality sector’s nose dive.

Josh Lehner, an Oregon state economist, recently joined the Source for the “Bend Don’t Break” podcast which explores the many issues surrounding the COVID-19 lockdowns.

According to one of Lehner’s recent number-crunching exercises, Central Oregon is one of the hardest-hit regions of the state due to its heavy reliance on tourism, and things may only get tougher due to the slowdown of this industry. Only the north coast of Oregon lags further behind.

Submitted

Katie Cruz co-owns HIIT Logic with her husband Jon. They own studios in downtown Redmond and Tumalo.

But the occupancy rates and the testimony of industry insiders shows tourism is making a strong comeback in Central Oregon, despite Gov. Kate Brown’s orders not to travel more than 50 miles for recreational purposes. The latest data from Visit Bend counted the occupancy rate on Saturday June 20 at 85%, down only 10% from last year at this time.

Tobias Colvin, the general manager for SCP Hotel Redmond (New Redmond Hotel) told the Source that business is picking up right where it left off.

“We’re seeing solid demand,” he said. “The majority of our guests are coming from surrounding communities, as well as cities such as Portland.

The local community has been great supporters as well by enjoying The Rooftop [outdoor bar] and enjoying staycations to escape the quarantine when we moved into Phase Two.” So far, only six Redmond businesses have permanently closed, said Eric Sande, the executive director of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s nice to be in a small community where we can really look out for our neighbors,” Sande said. “We did a huge call out to the community, a ‘welcome back campaign’ to shop local, eat out, help keep [Redmond] strong.”

According to a national study conducted by the Harvard-based Opportunity Insights group (check out opportunityinsights.org), Redmond’s economy is faring better than Bend’s.

Since January 2020, small businesses revenues in Redmond are up 8%, while Bend’s small business revenues are down between 3 and 23%.

For unemployment numbers, the Opportunity Insights researchers used data from three major payroll processors in the U.S., instead of unemployment claims. Using this metric, Redmond also appears to be doing somewhat better than Bend, with employment down by 25% since January, compared to Bend’s, down 30 to 32%.

The future?

Lehner, the Oregon state economist, sees some positive trends in the most recent data collected by his department: both consumer spending and income data showed some improvement from April to May. “The silver lining is if we think about future growth there’s really two things to consider: how many workers do you have and how productive are they?

[Central Oregon] has a lot of jobs in health care and professional business services,” he said.

Telecommuting is another trend in the region that’s on the rise. Lehner’s colleague, Kale Donnelly, who works for the Oregon Employment Department, showed the Bend-Redmond metro area came in fifth in the nation for the share of workers who work from home, down from second place the year before. Given both the recreational opportunities and low COVID-19 counts in the region, it may draw more people in from larger cities who are looking to escape.

Lehner forecasted that it will take four years to get back to a healthy economy. This is faster than the recovery from the Great Recession but it is still a “long slog,” he said.

“The real risk lies in what we call permanent damage. How many businesses are going to close in the months ahead?” he asked. “That first round of economic pain is still filtering through the economy. How large is the secondary impact on professional business services and manufacturing firms and the like?”

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, 40% of businesses do not reopen after a natural disaster hits, and another 25% fail within one year.

The Opportunity Insights study demonstrates the current recession is mostly due to a fall in consumer spending by the top quarter of income earners: credit card expenditures by this group fell by 66% by May 31, while the bottom quintile remained relatively flat.

them in places including grocery stores.

And restaurants? Well, eating while wearing a mask is a complicated task.

Still, ongoing studies of the more scientific kind have consistently shown that mask wearing can slow down transmission of respiratory illnesses, including the novel coronavirus.

While those charts you see circulating on social media—showing the percent effectiveness of wearing a mask versus not wearing one—have been shown to be mostly false due to "no scientific consensus exists on the efficacy of homemade masks in stopping the spread of COVID-19," according to Snopes, actual studies have indicated that masks can help.

A review published in the International Journal of Nursing Studies in late April concluded that, "community mask use by well people could be beneficial, particularly for COVID-19, where transmission may be pre-symptomatic. The studies of masks as source control also suggest a benefit, and may be important

arlier this month, Gov. Kate Brown mandated the wearing of face coverings in public indoor spaces for eight Oregon counties. As of July 1, that mandate extends to all of Oregon—including people right here in Central Oregon.

“I do not want to have to close down businesses again like other states are now doing," Brown stated in a release Monday. "If you want your local shops and restaurants to stay open, then wear a face covering when out in public."

Oregon Occupational Safety and Health is the agency in charge of enforcing the new rule, Brown's release stated. Thus far, OSHA has been the principal arbiter of COVID-19 related enforcement. Numerous Central Oregon businesses are facing thousands in fines for failing to comply with health and safety guidelines.

In Bend and Central Oregon, wearing masks among the general public has been something of a mixed bag. Anecdotal observations have shown about half of people choosing not to wear

With the big 4th of July holiday approaching, Brown said she is concerned about gatherings.

“From the beginning of the reopening process, I have said that reopening comes with the risk of seeing an

increase in COVID-19 cases beyond our health systems’ capacity to test, trace, and isolate them,” Brown stated. “Over the last month, we have seen the disease spread at an alarming rate in both urban and rural counties. The upcoming July 4th holiday weekend is a critical point for Oregon in this pandemic, and we can all make a difference."

The Redmond Police Department is the first in Central Oregon to require body cameras for its officers

By Laurel Brauns After police arrest and charge a suspect, they write a case report and send it to the district attorney. They may also be called to testify in court. Without video or audio recordings of the incident, it is the officer’s word against the suspect. Judges tend to believe police officers over suspects in most court cases, said Joel Wirtz, co-executive director of the Deschutes Defenders, a nonprofit public defense agency.

“You get context from a video,” Wirtz told the Source. “The police have a perspective; they want to prosecute.

In the police report, a lot of things that could… lead to my client’s innocence don’t show up, because I’m not seeing it [on video] right now… You don’t know what you don’t know.”

In the case of the Redmond Police Department, the officers are allowed to view footage before writing up their case reports. The video goes along with the report to the Deschutes County DA’s

“The vast majority of the time, officers get it right, and the camera will help them. Sometimes, they get it wrong. It’s our criminal justice system, and we have the right to know what is happening.”

—Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel police and the community [we] serve.”

The Redmond Police Association, the union representing Redmond officers, was on board from the beginning and helped the department come up with guidelines and best practices. In other parts of the U.S., police unions have resisted body cameras, according to Vox, since the footage can be used to incriminate officers in cases of misconduct, unnecessary force and police shootings.

office. The footage helps the prosecutors make decisions about the suspect.

Deschutes County DA John Hummel is also in favor of body cameras. “The vast majority of the time, officers get it right, and the camera will help them.

Sometimes, they get it wrong,” Hummel said during a press conference earlier this month. “It’s our criminal justice system, and we have the right to know what is happening.”

fficers in the Redmond Police Department have been recording themselves for 20 years.

Before the City of Redmond bought body cameras for the police in 2017, the officers recorded videos and audio on CDs and VHS. Today, the officers' body cameras are made by WatchGuard and sync with their dashboard cameras through WiFi. While the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says it needs a year of research and development to find the best brand of cameras, the Redmond PD has come up with a body camera program that is simple and second nature.

“This department has always been really progressive with IT [information technology], so we’ve taken that and just continued forward,” said Jesse Petersen of the RPD. “It was an easy transition for us. As a department we believed implementing cameras would increase transparency and accountability between the

The Redmond Police Department uses body cameras made by WatchGuard which sync with the dashboard cameras in their patrol cars through WiFi.

Petersen of the Redmond PD wouldn’t say whether the cameras reduced the number of claims of officer misconduct from people in the community, but RPD’s reports of use of force have gone up since the cameras were instituted. Petersen said this is because the department has brought on more officers in recent years.

The ratio between the number of overall contacts the officers make with people in the community and the times they use force is 200 to 1 (less than .5% of the time). Redmond PD used force to make arrests around 2.5% of the time.

In comparison, the Bend PD used force during .07% of total contacts and 1.7% of the time while making arrests. In both departments, use of force incidents are documented and then rise through the chain of command to the chief of police, who takes a final look to make sure the officers are complying with local, federal and state laws.

The footage can also be used to protect police from false accusations, a factor that could save cities money in the long run. A 2018 study of the Phoenix Police Department before and after it instituted body cameras demonstrated that total lawsuits decreased by 37%.

The number of lawsuits requiring the city to pay damages decreased by 58%.

A 2002 survey of state officers by the U.S. Department of Justice found that in cases where dash camera footage was used in a misconduct complaint, the officer was exonerated 93% of the time.

“The benefit of [the cameras] is the transparency,” Petersen said. “The body camera is just one tool in our tool box in order to do a complete and thorough investigation. If we do have someone who makes a complaint on a police

officer, we use interviews, independent witnesses, the video cameras, the body cameras, the audio recordings… these are all useful for us to paint a picture of what happened so that we can take appropriate action…. If we haven’t done anything [wrong] it is very easy for us to be able to show that.”

Petersen said the department uses the footage for training purposes on a weekly basis to re-evaluate performance. Most officers have also been trained in conflict de-escalation and emotional intelligence and they have completed Crisis Intervention Trainings, he said.

Over the past 20 years, Petersen estimates the department has invested over $100,000 in various recording systems and storage. Each new set of cameras costs $7,900, and the department budgets an extra $5,000 a year for replacements and parts. RPD’s total budget every year is $10 million. A “set” includes a dashboard camera for the patrol cars as well as a synced body-worn device.

The footage downloads onto the department’s hard drive through WiFi as soon as the officers pull up to the station.

The City of Redmond IT department provides all storage, retrieval and cyber security for the footage. Redmond PD’s forensic experts must edit the videos to blur out faces and other identifying information when someone requests the video, which also costs time and money.

These final technical details were deal breakers for the Bend Police Department back in 2013 when it first budgeted $100,000 to start a camera program.

The BPD will add body cameras this year, while the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office will use the next year to do research and development on cameras.

Redmond Committee for Art in Public Places works to bring culture and identity to the community

By Cayla Clark

I

n 2006, the City of Redmond’s Community Development Department created the Redmond Committee for Art in Public Places, geared toward introducing art into select public locations and ultimately enhancing community identity. The committee is made up of volunteers; nine Redmond residents who were appointed by the mayor and approved by the Redmond City Council. RCAPP committee members have several responsibilities, including developing the City art collection, recommending program funding procedures and enriching the community by “bringing cultural and artistic values and artifacts to the City,” as mentioned on the City of Redmond’s website.

Dan Mooney, local photographer and current committee chair, explained his passion for promoting creativity throughout the community and providing local kids with the opportunity to express themselves artistically.

“Our board is completely volunteer based,” he said. “None of us get paid, all of us are passionate artists. We collectively believe that bringing more art to Redmond will enrich our community. A lot of the projects we facilitate directly involve students from local high schools. Art programs are important across the board, but they can be especially beneficial to youth.”

Jaclyn Abslag, staff liaison for RCAPP and programs coordinator for the Department of Community Development, detailed positive experiences associated with Art Around the Clock, one of the committee and City’s ongoing projects. “This specific program began in 2010, four years after the art committee

itself came to be. Right now we have a total of 18 sculptures throughout town that are all on loan, with a collective value of $189,000. Community members will vote for their favorite piece at the end of the two-year time period; our next vote will be in spring of 2021. At the end of the two-year period, one of the sculptures will be purchased by the committee based on the popular vote. We’ve had multiple artists that have donated their

pieces at the end of the loan, too. I’ll call them up and ask, ‘Any chance you’d want to donate the piece?’ And a lot of the artists say yes, that they’re just happy to be a part of the program.”

Abslag explained that while community response has generally been positive, some sculptures are not as well-received as others. “That’s the best thing about art,” she said. “It creates conversation. It gets people talking.”

“If someone doesn’t like a piece of art, I recommend joining the committee,” added Mooney. “That’s originally why I joined; at the time, there was a sculpture downtown that I felt wasn’t the greatest. Rather than complain, I joined the board and did what I could to get it changed.”

Not only do over 30 professionally created sculptures currently live throughout the streets of Redmond, but City of Redmond

now we’re waiting for the mural code to go through, which will allow for murals throughout Redmond. We’re hoping the code will be changed this summer so we can begin working with different businesses and artists and get some more awesome art up around town.”

Currently, the mural code prohibits murals citywide. Both Mooney and Abslag are confident that the City Council will be receptive to the proposed change.

Mooney detailed several other student-based programs that had a (mostly) positive turnout. “We did a tunnel

those who stroll around downtown will also notice a wide array of impressively painted electrical boxes and other student-created pieces.

“The electrical boxes have been painted by high school students, mostly, and some junior high students,” Mooney explained. “They’re owned by the City.

We go to a local school, one with a good art program, and we work with the art teacher to come up with a design. Then we’ll bring the students to the electrical box, usually four or five students at a time, and oversee the project.”

“We collectively believe that bringing more art to Redmond will enrich our community. A lot of the projects we facilitate directly involve students from local high schools. Art programs are important across the board, but they can be especially beneficial to youth.”

—Dan Mooney Student art projects have become a major focus of the committee, and a donation has made facilitating these projects all that much easier. “We received a $20,000 cash donation from a local family,” Abslag reported. “They stipulated that the donation needed to be used for student art, so we have quite a collection of student-created art around town. We worked with students from all three Redmond high schools on the Constant Face of Temporary Existence, a large metal piece. They conceptualized it, fabricated it, they did everything.

There’s a clock tower in Centennial Park, and local students made tiles out of clay that now surround the base of the tower. Their theme was ‘The Past, Present and Future of Redmond.’ There are some other tiles in the park made by younger students, elementary age. Right

painting a few years ago with students that turned out great,” he said. “Then we repainted it again two years ago, and it got tagged non-stop. Sadly, tagging has become a huge problem with the art here in Redmond. We decided to paint the skatepark here in town, kids could submit their artwork to be considered, so long as it wasn’t graffiti-style. We ran the contest for three months, which was open to all students under the age of 18.

We got over 30 submissions, which was great considering that kids had been out of school since March, which made them harder to get a hold of. The winners will be chosen July 2; there will be between 3-5 kids chosen as winners and their art will be transferred to the skate park walls. We have two professional artists facilitating the process. The City recommended that we kick off the skate

park project with a more professional-looking painting, so that kids will be less inclined to tag it up.”

RCAPP is paying artists Tracy Thille and Kris Cranston as part of their Artist in Residence program. They painted a piece of art in the skate park titled “Balance,” which features a Koi fish and will soon be joined by the other park murals, created by the student winners of the competition. “Balance” is the artwork featured on this week's Source cover.

“We’re working with the City to find new spots on the north side and the south side of town,” concluded Mooney.

“We already have pieces throughout most of the town, one at the fire station, one at the library. We’re going to put an

art piece at the pump track next year. For this project we’re going to hold another contest, similar to the one we held for the skate park. We’ll have eight spots for kids to paint on. Of course, COVID messed up our plans and everything had to go on hold, but we have some really cool things in the works. One of the things we’re focusing on is trying to get more local artists to participate. For Art Around the Clock we need around 16 or 17 submissions, and right now we only have three or four from local artists. We have submissions from New York, Delaware, Florida and even Canada, but we’d love to feature more Oregon-made art. Hopefully, Pacific Northwest artists who are reading this will submit their work!”

BARBER SHOP COMING SOON!

oncerts are beginning to happen on a smaller scale in Bend again, but what about our neighbors to the north in Redmond? Virtually, things heated up last week as Music on the Green kicked off on June 24 with a performance from Olivia Knox. This year’s series will run into September and be performed through livestreams by the artists, with the next show coming from Bobby Lindstrom on July 8.

This summer is definitely far off from what Redmond normally experiences when it comes to live music, and some places you’re accustomed to seeing shows at in Redmond aren’t offering any music yet, but there are still a couple spots where you can catch some tunes.

Kobold Brewing and The Vault Taphouse will usually host bands throughout the summer, but in 2020 they’re going with alternatives. Kobold has partnered up with Music on the Green, airing those shows from the pub live on its TVs to still support the music scene and give community members a chance to tune in while enjoying a beer.

“We decided not to pursue live music for the time being. Partly due to not wanting to pay BMI and the others, and partly due to safety and spacing,” said co-owner Heather Anderson in an email.

Hub City, a common stop for live music on Highway 97, is also holding back from live music for now. In following Phase Two guidelines, the bar doesn’t see a way to safely hold music inside, and it would take a little more planning and work to get something set up outside.

Another popular summer showcase, Music in the Canyon, has had to cancel its popular summer concert series entirely, which will be rescheduled for 2021.

A lot is missing right now as far as live entertainment goes in Redmond—but at Initiative Brewing and General Duffy’s Waterhole, the music is still flowing.

General Duffy’s will host a show on Friday, July 3, featuring Precious Byrd, the High Street Band and The Parnells.

This show will be a ticketed event to limit the number of attendees and keep in compliance with Oregon’s COVID-19 safety measures. These concerts are all outdoors on “The Angle at Duffy’s,” a specially-designed outdoor music stage with seating and plenty of space.

Initiative also has a busy schedule of concerts ahead, with shows scheduled as far out as Sept. 25. Next up: Eric Leadbetter Friday night, July 3.

“We just had our first live music show this past Friday (June 26), which was our first show outside since doing live music Fridays in 2020,” Initiative Co-Owner Ryan Churchill told the Source. “It was awesome to see so many excited people out on the patio.”

Initiative doesn’t currently have a stage, but bands are set up in front of the brewery’s garage door, so they can open the door and let guests inside be able to hear the music. Initiative’s owners hope to build their own stage soon.

“It was a little tricky setting up our patio to fit the band and social distancing protocol, but we think we found a happy medium to where most people can see the band play,” Churchill told the Source. “We are excited to have previous performers back and hope to attract more artists and eventually start doing music on Sundays, too, this summer.”

CULTURE

A Different Kind of Parade

Redmond will keep the show moving this 4th of July with festive porches, shoebox floats and the community’s creativity

By Isaac Biehl

Since 1993

“Since schools had closed early, parks were closed, and pretty much any outdoor activity had been heavily limited, we wanted to give locals an outlet for their creativity while maintaining the bonds that we have as a community,” Redmond Chamber Events Director Kara Roach said.

“The shoebox floats presented many families the opportunity to create something together, giving the kiddos something to be proud of and share with the world. The Porch Parade also opens the opportunity for individuals to display messages of love and encouragement to others and share their community pride.”

Participants’ creative efforts won’t go unnoticed, either. There will be five categories for the Mini Parade shoebox floats: Children, Individual, Commercial, Organization and Anima, with first, second and third place ribbons awarded for each category. It’s free to register for both parades. “The shoebox floats presented many families the opportunity to create something together, giving the kiddos something to be proud of and share with the world. The Porch Parade also opens the opportunity for individuals to display messages of love and encouragement to others and share their community pride,” Roach told the Source.

Another element of parades that will will be alive this year: marching bands.

routine. Roach said they have around 100 submissions overall—pretty standard for Redmond’s annual parades.

“We live in such a tight-knit community where businesses support each other and neighbors lend a helping hand. The Redmond Chamber has been putting on the holiday parades for several decades now, along with other free

community events, with the sole purpose of honoring those that live and work in Redmond, those who make this such a wonderful place to be,” added Roach. “We felt like we owe it to our community members to continue to support them any way we can to bring even a small semblance of normalcy where we celebrate as a community.”

atherings and events for this year’s Fourth of July will be much different than they have been in years past. Both of the popular Old Fashioned Festivals in Redmond and Bend have been canceled, and get-togethers in backyards will be smaller than usual. However, the Redmond Chamber of Commerce aims to keep the spirit of Independence Day alive with a couple innovative ideas—the first being a Patriotic Porch Parade. This gives people the opportunity to really get festive right in their own homes. The theme is “Flag City, USA,” but members of the Redmond community can decorate their front porches in any way they see fit. This brings some festive stylings to neighborhoods, and the Chamber of Commerce has released a map of all the locations for people to drive by or walk to so they can experience the porches in all their glory. It’s kind of like those magical Christmas light drive-thru villages.

The second opportunity is the Chamber’s Mini Parade. The Mini Parade utilizes shoebox floats, similar to a diorama you might have made during school. People were free to create a float for whatever they want, utilizing every corner of their imagination. The theme for this was also “Flag City, USA.” Participants who entered took photos and videos of their projects to be sent to The Chamber, which will be used in a livestream on July 4 at 10am.

CHOW The Altar of Pizza

By Nicole Vulcan

Eqwine Wine Bar

Redmond’s Grace and Hammer serves up wood-fired pizzas in a restyled historic church

By Nicole Vulcan

B

etween the bright, vaulted white ceilings of the restored 1912 church and the creamy, caramelized discs of wet mozzarella on the pies, it’s tough to say whether the atmosphere or the food is more of the attraction at Grace and Hammer Pizzeria, tucked along SW Cascade Avenue in Redmond.

But for Owner-Manager Pio Valensin, the wood-fired oven located in the former chancel area of the building is definitely the star of the show. Pizza is, after all, the main offering, made with cold-fermented dough, cooked to crispy perfection at 900 degrees in the oven. Delicate, sweet red sauce made with just tomatoes, salt and garlic—or smooth, buttery Bechamel, or “white sauce,” go on top of that. And logs of mozzarella in brine, brought in from New Jersey, top each pie.

“We like the way it melts on the pie.

It gives it some caramelization,” said Valensin of the cheese, clearly showing off his love of a well-crafted pizza. On my visit, I sampled both the Saint Stanley, featuring red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, caramelized onions and fresh—not dried—Calabrian chilis, as well as the Propriety, with goat feta, oyster mushrooms and baby arugula. Both were impressive, with crispy, slightly charred crust and delightful toppings.

And while the pizza menu will have me coming back for more, Grace and Hammer is also oozing with atmosphere. Its owners revamped the historic church in early 2019, brightening it up with a fresh coat of white paint, but also adding in touches of its former life as First Presbyterian Church of Redmond, used for that purpose until 1979. Photos of past weddings and other events are hung in the entryway, bringing in

some cute—and historically authentic—ambience. Valensin told the Source that the photos are a community-generated project: Past parishioners and Redmond locals have brought their old photos from the church to add to the space. And every Friday evening, the staff rings the church bell, inviting Redmond to come to dinner.

“The community is so welcoming, and is so community-forward,” Valensin said. It’s a stark contrast, in many ways, to the bustling (and sweltering) metropolis of Austin, Texas, where Valensin, Chef Adam Valentine, Bar Manager Anthony Leal and company founders Chad and Cinnamon Nemec operated a pizza place before opening Grace and Hammer. After selling their business in Austin in 2017, the Nicole Vulcan

prospect of restoring First Presbyterian into a restaurant was too tempting of a prospect to pass up—so the entire crew headed north to Redmond. Valensin, for one, enjoys making pizzas in the drier, cooler air of Oregon, compared to the deep humidity of Texas, he said.

While the shutdowns that came with novel coronavirus have affected Grace and Hammer’s business in the same way they affected every other food service establishment, the crew is beginning to grow a following in their first full summer in business. Since wood-fired pizzas are best consumed within about 10 minutes of coming out of the oven, Valensin said, thus far there’s no delivery— just takeout or the option to hang out in this beautiful space. A menu of specialty cocktails, such as the Three-Fingered Jack, a cross between a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned, made with Maker’s Mark Bourbon, tart Oregon cherries and a house-made honey syrup—or the Monkey Face Margarita, made with a scratch margarita mix, invite patrons to come sit and sip a while. A welcoming patio makes that even easier. And ongoing additions to the menu, such as sandwich specials, mean there’s often something new to try.

“We are constantly experimenting,” Valensin said. In the end, though, the focus is on the pies, made at the altar of pizza. “Our goal is to make honest pizza.”

Consider me honestly, piously devoted.

Eqwine Wine Bar has just opened a brick-and-mortar location in Redmond. The new wine bar is located in a renovated vintage house on SW 4th street downtown. You might recognize the name, having been a mobile wine trailer, converted from a horse trailer, that still makes the rounds in Central Oregon. Eqwine will feature a different wine region each month. In July, they’re featuring the wines of the Willamette Valley.

The owner of Westside Taco Co. has opened an exciting new venture. Westside Local, located on SW 5th Street in Redmond, is the next adventure for Amber Amos, whose tacos have been delighting Central Oregon for several years. Westside Local doesn’t have a set menu, per se—but instead sources its food from local farms just before opening for the week. There are some staples, such as the Westside Burger and the Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich, but the name of the game here is trying new, local ingredients and foods. Westside Local is open for dinner Wednesdays and lunch and dinner Thursday through Saturday.

Ida’s Cupcake Café now has a Redmond location. The popular Bend-area cupcake business, with two locations in Bend, had a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its downtown Redmond location in late February—just before the world began to head home.

The space is gorgeous, featuring clean white tile and a fresh, modern look.

Carnaval Mexican Grill, a hip eatery in downtown Redmond, opened its doors in November. In addition to a wide selection of drinks, the spot offers an extensive Mezcal menu, loads of Mexican favorites, and a delicious dessert menu. Coffee Tequila Flan, ya’ll.

Go get some.

Lucy’s Taco Shop, a staple of downtown Redmond, offering delicious tacos, tortas and other Mexican fare, now has a Bend location! The new Lucy’s Taco Shop is located at 916 NE 3rd Street, in the former Baja Fresh location.

SCREEN Tin Pan Theater is Ready for Visitors Still as expertly curated as ever

By Jared Rasic Jared Rasic

them as a double feature so you could see the difference between honest and authentic filmmaking and whatever half-assed platitudes “HTBAG” was trying to spin about being an authentic person.

Aside from the person running the Tin Pan, there was a young-ish couple there to see the movie, as well. We all had on masks which I shifted to the side to drink my sexy pint of RPM. I don’t think the couple were really prepared for dying Australian teenagers looking for love in all the wrong places, so they left after about 10 minutes, leaving me to enjoy Tin Pan all to myself. It was perfect.

Some of the best years of my life were spent working at Tin Pan, watching horror movies at midnight while waiting for another load of dishes to finish washing. We were so specific and exacting about the movies we showed that there were folks who came to everything simply because they trusted our curating process. Now, as a patron, I feel the same way.

When Regal and all the big chains reopen, they’re going to be hoping we’ll go to the movies just to get out of the house, not because of what’s showing.

Before we get to see “Tenet” or “Black Widow,” we’ll get a dozen pieces of studio-mandated garbage thrown at us to see if theaters are still a viable business model. Maybe if Regal comes back with a curated experience showing the same care that Tin Pan does, they can save their own business as opposed to treating customers like, “Well, we got your

Such a sexy picture. Can we even show this?

money, so you’re on your own” like they used to do. Since Old Mill 16 is going to reopen in early July, it will be interesting to see what will change about the experience now that there’s aspects of it to be nervous about. Will they learn lessons from places like Tin Pan Theater,

or die like so many dinosaurs that have come before?

few weeks ago, I was afraid the magic of the theatrical experience had died for me. I went to the lovely Odem Theater Pub to see a movie and I completely failed to get caught up and swept away by the experience like I normally do. Odem is a wonderful space, so I thought just the act of going to a movie had been sullied for me by living in a COVID-19/murder hornet/police brutality kind of world.

I need not have worried. Tin Pan Theater reopened last Friday and so did a piece of my heart. Walking in that theater and smelling the popcorn, hearing the creak of the wooden floor and seeing the shining jars of candy on the shelves made it all come back to me. Plus, I was really excited to see the movie that was playing.

“Babyteeth” is an Australian comingof-age dramedy following a teenage girl with cancer (Milla) who meets a smalltime homeless drug dealer (Moses) and instantly falls in love. Milla, played by “Little Women’s” Eliza Scanlen, is so desperate to experience love that Moses’ fearlessness looks like a future to her.

Moses, who is basically what would happen if Franco’s character from “Spring Breakers” had a baby with Post Malone, doesn’t love Milla back, but he cares about her and will stick around as long as Milla’s psychiatrist father keeps writing him prescriptions.

The movie I saw at Odem was another coming-of-age dramedy, this one called “How to Build a Girl” and I hated it with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

I would almost recommend watching

Mountain views abound along the trail while hiking around Gray Butte.

Skull Hollow if you’re looking to make a weekend out of it.

With all of the options for how to travel the trail and connections to other beautiful areas, the system here makes it great for people of all skill levels. Simply hiking to the butte from the Skull Hollow trail is perfect for beginners, but there are plenty of ways to make it more challenging.

This area is a draw for hiking, running and biking—all of which I saw Isaac Biehl

The hiking trails around Gray Butte get the top four paws-up rating.

happening while out on the trail. We brought the dog along and he absolutely loved it out there. If you do plan to bring your furry friend, be mindful of bikers or people on horseback. While we saw a few groups of bikers, the trail never felt busy or overcrowded. The land is so vast out there that you’re able to really feel the peace of nature.

If you’re worried about conditions, the trail can get a little muddy if it follows some rain, but on a perfect summer day you shouldn’t have to worry about it at all—though sandy soil does pose its own issues, including some loose footing from time to time. Once you make it out of the first mile and a half or so from the Skull Hollow trailhead, you’ll be out of tree cover for the majority of the hike so be sure to bring plenty of water as it will get pretty hot during the summer.

And sunscreen? A must.

Along the way are wildflowers and tremendous mountain views. Right now, the paintbrush and lupine are making quite a show. Plus, it’s like the whole trail is one giant viewpoint. Gray Butte is truly a spot where you feel like you’re farther out from civilization than you are, but in reality a quick 17-mile drive will get you back into the city. It’s the perfect day trip from Redmond.

To access the Gray Butte trailhead at Skull Hollow Campground, you’ll drive through the campground for about 2 miles. The trailhead will be on the left side of the road with a decent-sized area for parking.

Yes, coronavirus is still among us.

But no, that doesn’t mean the trails and lakes of Central Oregon are any less busy this time of year. For those ready to check out some more remote locales, this online program could be ideal. “Boots, Bikes, and Boats in Eastern Oregon” is geared toward those looking to explore outdoor options beyond Central Oregon.

Renee Patrick, Oregon Desert Trail coordinator for the Oregon Natural Desert Association, will share information about the Steens Mountain Wilderness, Fremont-Winema National Forest and the John Day River area.

As a staffer hired to help develop the 750-mile Oregon Desert Trail, Patrick has lots of knowledge and insight to share. The online event is hosted by the Deschutes Public Library, and those looking to participate can head to the event page, where a link to the program will be available at 11am Sunday.

edmond is near so many great trails that are practically begging you to come hike on them. For quick trips just outside of town, there are trails at the Crooked River Grasslands and the always-popular Smith Rock—but one gem remains a favorite getaway trip: Gray Butte, located just northeast of Terrebonne. Starting among juniper trees, the trail(s) eventually wind upward to reveal some stunning views.

There are a few different ways to take in the beauty of this area, but the quickest way to get there is to find the trailhead located at the end of Skull Hollow Campground. The gravel road is a little narrow and uneven, but don’t expect anything too crazy. My girlfriend’s Dodge Caliber handled it with ease. If your vehicle has low clearance, be sure to drive through with care.

At Gray Butte, located inside the Crooked River National Grassland, you can basically choose your own experience. To get there, set your map for the Gray Butte Trailhead or Skull Hollow Campground. Hike a couple miles and do some climbing to the butte, or turn back for a shorter day. Or, hike around the whole base of the butte and turn it into an over 6-mile loop. For those looking to take on a bigger trek, hike from Smith Rock to Gray Butte by using the Burma Road trail. This will get you into double-digit miles—close to a 13-mile hike, according to the All Trails app.

You could even cap it off by camping in

Multiple-Offer Scenario

Success in a competitive market multiple offers on the table, be prepared to pay over asking price. An excellent question to ask is, “At what price would I feel OK letting this home go to another buyer?”

Some sellers will ask buyers to submit their highest and best offer. If a buyer presents an offer at the absolute highest price they’re willing to pay and someone else outbids them, the buyer may have fewer regrets.

Another approach is an escalation clause, which allows a buyer to present an offer starting at a certain price that will increase in set increments to a maximum point, giving the buyer an opportunity to outbid others but not overpay.

Go time!

Be ready to move quickly, but not hastily. Prepare to view properties as soon as they come to market and make prompt decisions. Hesitation can be the difference between having a chance at your dream home or someone else moving in. In this climate, buyers are anxious to make a purchase and many homes are going pending before officially hitting the market.

Extra considerations Appeal to the seller when setting the closing date. Find out if a quick closing is best or what’s preferable to them.

Craft a personal letter to the seller and make sure to be descriptive about why this is the perfect home. It may sound trivial, but this will be meaningful to some sellers.

Following these steps will help to set an offer apart from the others and give the best chance at receiving an invaluable accepted offer.

uying a new home is always a journey, from start to finish, and sometimes the competition can be fierce. Imagine searching for the perfect home and eventually identifying the “one,” only to discover that two or three other buyers are in love with the same property. In the current Central Oregon market, having multiple offers on a home is becoming fairly common. During the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown, the number of buyers, listings and real estate transactions all decreased. Now that restrictions are being eased and people are getting out and about, there’s been an influx of buyers and the number of new listings isn’t keeping up. This means low housing inventory and high demand.

In a competitive real estate environment, being prepared is essential to having the best chance at securing a popular home. Buyers can gain a leg up on the competition by presenting an attractive, straightforward and aggressive offer in an intimidating multiple offer situation.

Choose a lender The number-one first step is to meet with a lender to establish a realistic budget and determine a monthly payment that’s comfortable. A lender will also provide buyers with a pre-qualification letter, based on a quick conversation or the more desirable pre-approval letter, and based on financial documentation and actual credit score. Some lenders will take it one step further and have the buyer through the underwriting process and simply waiting to input an address before an offer is even written.

Put your best offer forward It’s best to strategize with a knowledgeable realtor—but when there are

dating might run in the same circles as my ex. (He’s said a few things that led me to think that.) This terrifies me because I really do not like my ex and don’t want there to be any overlap in our lives. I keep having nightmare scenarios play out in my head where I show up to the bar after my new guy’s poker game and my ex is there. What can I do if this happens?

—Distressed It helps to suddenly become British when you run into someone you dread seeing, because a posh British accent is ideal for conveying a polite greeting like: “What a surprise. I was sure someone would’ve poisoned you by now, or at least electrocuted you in the bathtub.”

What doesn’t help is ruminating on how you’ll feel if you do see your ex.

Unfortunately, our mind is not our BFF, and it has a habit of sending us off in directions that cause us needless suffering. For example, we are our own worst emotional fortunetellers, or in psychologists’ terms, we are crap at “affective forecasting.” (“Affect” is a fancy-schmancy researcher word for moods and emotions we experience.) Social psychologists Sarit Golub and Daniel Gilbert find that we tend to overestimate how bad some future event will make us feel. This overblown prediction of how miserable we’ll be in the future serves to bum us out in the present. Accordingly, the researchers observe that “it may be” as the Stoic philosopher Seneca noted nearly 2 million years ago, “He who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.”

When the ex pops up in your head, instead of rerunning your usual social horror movies, recognize that you have what it takes to deal with whatever comes your way. After all, what’s the worst thing that’s likely to happen, an uncomfortable silence preceding an uncomfortable moment greeting each other? (This is rarely fatal.) Keep reminding yourself of this whenever dread arises, and though you might never become a pillar of chill, you should find your overall level of hysteria dialed down considerably.

Eventually, if your paths do cross, you should be able to stand there like it’s no big deal, which suggests you are barely cognizant of his continued existence...in a way running outside and hiding between parked cars like it’s a hostage crisis just can’t.

manager, and a co-worker seems to have an intense crush on me. She invites me out for drinks and buys me little gifts (a teddy bear, chocolates, flowers, a heart-shaped necklace). I make excuses to get out of drinks and show no enthusiasm for the gifts, but the more I don’t show interest, the more obsessed she seems. How do I get her to stop without making it awkward?

—Disturbed It’s really uncomfortable when any conversation she has with you includes the breathy subtext: “I like your outfit. I’d like it Amy Alkon even more if it were in a pile on the conference room floor.”

It’s possible she’s experiencing limerence, a constant, obsessive romantic longing for another person that leads to often-smothering acts intended to get that person to reciprocate.

Though limerence can seem like a form of love, love involves concern for the other’s feelings and well-being. In limerence, the limerent person’s target is a love object they’re pursuing: the romantic obsession version of a dirty tennis ball a dog’s chasing that never rolls to a stop.However, there is a way out. Psychologists Albert Wakin and Duyen Vo explain that “limerence is sustained and fueled by uncertainty,” which heightens the limerent person’s hope as well as their cravings for emotional reciprocation from the object of their obsessive desire. They add that “the limerence reactions tend to dissipate in conditions where there is complete certainty,” whether it’s “absolute reciprocation or the other extreme of absolute rejection.” The kindest thing you can do (for yourself and for her) is help her give up hope -- immediately, lest Tacky Gift Mountain start growing a twin peak.

Take her aside and say: “I just want to clear up any possible misunderstanding. I’m not interested in ANY relationship beyond being co-workers.” If she tries again or the gift barrage continues, tell her again in unambiguous language (providing the necessary “absolute rejection”). Don’t explain why. You are not interested in her. Period. Revealing this to her will surely be awkward, but it gives her the “complete certainty” she needs to escape the claws of limerence and, best of all, before you run out of excuses to escape her regular “Wanna go for drinks after work?”

You: “I have to feed my cat.”

Her: “I thought your cat died last year.”

You: “I have to feed its ghost.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some readers

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): Philosopher Miguel de Unamuno declared, “Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.” This idea will be intensely true for and applicable to you in the coming weeks, Virgo. It will be your sacred duty—both to yourself and to those you care about—to enlarge your understandings of how the world works and to push your awareness to become more inclusive and empathetic. What’s your vision of paradise-on-earth? Now is a good time to have fun imagining it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What do you want to be when you grow up, Libra? What’s that you say?

You firmly believe you are already all grown up?

I hope not! In my vision of your destiny, you will always keep evolving and transforming; you will ceaselessly transcend your existing successes and push on to accomplish further breakthroughs and victories. Now would be an excellent time to rededicate yourself to this noble aspiration. I invite you to dream and scheme about three specific wonders and marvels you would like to experience during the next five years.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has advice that would serve you well in the coming weeks. She says, “Keep a little space in your heart for the improbable. You won’t regret it.” In accordance with your astrological potentials, I’m inclined to amend her statement as follows: “Keep a sizable space in your heart for the improbable. You’ll be rewarded with catalytic revelations and intriguing opportunities.” To attract blessings in abundance, Scorpio, be willing to set aside some of your usual skepticism and urge for control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Malidoma Somé lives in the U.S. now, but was born in the West African country of Burkina Faso. He writes, “In the culture of my people, the Dagara, we have no word for the supernatural. The closest we come to this concept is Yielbongura, ‘the thing that knowledge can’t eat.’ This word suggests that the life and power of certain things depend upon their resistance to the categorizing knowledge that human beings apply to everything.” I bring Somé’s thoughts to your attention, Sagittarius, because I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will encounter more than the usual number of experiences that knowledge can’t eat. They might at times be a bit spooky or confounding, but will mostly be in-

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When future writer (and Aquarius) Charles Dickens was 12 years old, his parents and siblings got incarcerated in a debtors’ prison. To stay alive and help his family, he took a job working 12 hours a day, six days a week, pasting labels on pots of boot polish in a rotting, rat-infested warehouse. Hard times!

Yet the experiences he had there later provided him with rich material for the novels that ultimately made him wealthy and beloved. In predicting that you, too, will have future success at capitalizing on difficulty, I don’t mean to imply you’ve endured or will endure anything as harsh as Dickens’ ordeal. I’m just hoping to help you appreciate the motivating power of your challenging experiences.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries author Marge Piercy writes, “The people I love the best, jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows.” The Aries people I love best will do just that in the coming days. Now is not the right time to wait around passively, lazily hoping that something better will come along. Nor is it prudent to procrastinate or postpone decisions while shopping around for more options or collecting more research. Dive, Aries, dive!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip by Bill Watterson. It features a boy named Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes. In the first panel of one story, Calvin is seated at a school desk looking perplexed as he studies a question on a test, which reads “Explain [Isaac] Newton’s First Law of Motion in your own words.” In the second panel, Calvin has a broad smile, suddenly imbued with inspiration. In the third panel, he writes his response to the test question: “Yakka foob mog. Grug pubbawup zink wattoom gazork. Chumble spuzz.”

The fourth panel shows him triumphant and relaxed, proclaiming, “I love loopholes.” I propose that you use this scenario as your victorious metaphor in the coming weeks, Taurus. Look for loopholes! And use them to overcome obstacles and solve riddles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “It is a fault to wish to be understood before we have made ourselves clear to ourselves,” wrote philosopher and activist Simone Weil. I’m hoping that this horoscope of mine can help you avoid that mistake. In the coming weeks and months, you will have a stronger-than-usual need to be seen for who you really are—to have your essential nature be appreciated and understood by people you care about. And the best way to make sure that happens is to work hard right now on seeing, appreciating, and understanding yourself.

oux has journeyed long distances by train: once from Britain to Japan and back again, and then from Massachusetts to Argentina. He also rode trains during part of his expedition from Cairo to Cape Town. Here’s one of his conclusions: “It is almost axiomatic that the worst trains take you through magical places.” I’d like to offer a milder version of that counsel as your metaphor for the coming weeks: The funky, bumpy, rickety influences will bring you the best magic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pioneer Capricorn scientist Isaac Newton is often hailed as one of history’s greatest geniuses. I agree that his intellectual capacities were sublime. But his emotional intelligence was sparse and feeble. During the time he taught at Cambridge University, his talks were so affectless and boring that many of his students skipped most of his classes. I’ll encourage you to make Newton your anti-role model for the next eight weeks. This time will be favorable for you to increase your mastery of three kinds of intelligence beyond the intellectual kind: feeling, intuition, and collaboration.

wish I would write more like Cormac McCarthy or Albert Camus or Raymond Chandler: with spare simplicity. They accuse me of being too lush and exuberant in my prose. They want me to use shorter sentences and fewer adjectives. To them I say: It ain’t going to happen. I have feelings similar to those of best-selling Cancerian author Oliver Sacks, who the New York Times called, “one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century.” Sacks once said, “I never use one adjective if six seem to me better and, in their cumulative effect, more incisive. I am haunted by the density of reality and try to capture this with ‘thick description.’” I bring these thoughts to your attention, my fellow Cancerian, because I think it’s important for you to be your lavish, sumptuous, complex self in the coming weeks.

Vine-N-Tap is a one-stop shop for creative, locally sourced craft cocktails and “Redmond casual” cuisine

Photos & summer adventure by Jake Price

Do not operate a vehicle or machinery under the influence of this drug.

For use by adults 21 years of age and older. Keep out of the reach of children.

pening a brand-new restaurant is no small task; opening a brand-new restaurant the day before statewide pandemic-fueled closures is a challenge no one was prepared for. David Fenech, co-owner of Vine-N-Tap on the outskirts of downtown Redmond, had already compiled a team of compassionate and skilled professionals with the combined potential to pull through any unexpected adversity. Fenech’s sister bought the building, and after completing thorough renovations (including re-landscaping), the family-owned and operated restaurant opened its doors.

Then, they closed again.

Today, Vine-N-Tap is now back open for takeout and dine-in.

Bar Manager Shawn Smith and his girlfriend, Head Chef Jennifer West, have not only produced complimentary and sophisticated drink and food menus (laid-back fine dining that chef Jenny deemed “Redmond casual”), but they work in harmony to create a homey, comfortable atmosphere. I can safely say that after three return visits in a 24-hour span, I am a devoted regular.

The food menu is inspired; the craft cocktails are fresh and unique.

“Luck is a stranger at times, especially when your opening day happens to be during the week of shutdowns during a global pandemic,” Fenech said.

“I am constantly blown away by Chef Jenny’s and bartender Shawn’s creativity. We source locally as much as possible, and our menu changes with the seasons because of that. Most of the time we’ll feature weekly specials from both the kitchen and the bar.”

Fenech himself has been involved in the food and beverage business for over 35 years. For the past 17 years, he has worked as a winemaker and vineyard manager consultant. “Vine-N-Tap is a nod to my work as a winemaker,” he

explained. “The tap is a nod to our full bar, because back in the day, wine, beer and spirits were all tapped.”

Smith, a longtime professional chef turned cocktail wizard, utilizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create cocktails that give bougie Bend mixologists a serious run for their money.

The Hub 55, a Gomper’s Gin-based cocktail, is made with elderflower syrup, lemon, lavender and cava. Think an aromatic, adult pink lemonade. Another “second round”-worthy Smith original is the Rhubarb Shrub, a gin-based martini made with whipped egg white, lime and locally grown rhubarb. “The idea is to honor old school classics, but put a fresh twist on them,” Smith explained.

“We use locally distilled spirits, we get our mixed greens, kale and root vegetables from Dome Grown Produce here in Redmond and from Sungrounded Farm in Terrebonne. Everything is made on site, from the pickles we use in our Bloody Mary to our simple syrups.”

Smith explained how his background as a professional chef prepared him for what is (shockingly) his first bartending position. “I was a chef for 20 years,” he said. “I’ve found that bartending is really similar to cooking. I’ll be developing drink specials based on what’s popular and what’s in season.”

While the cocktails are worth the trip alone, Smith suggested that the local beer and wine selection was also an important feature of the drink menu.

“We have four taps, which we keep rotating with a selection of local beer.

The goal is to support local as much as possible and continue developing relationships with local distillers, brewers, winemakers and farmers.”
