3 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 24 / JULY 30, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

As journalists, we are among those rare breeds who choose to go into chaos and unrest when others are steering a clear path away. Such was the case this past week when I ventured to Portland to see the protests there for myself. People said I was brave for doing so.

Others questioned whether a story in the Rose City is relevant to people in Central Oregon. I say to both that I was merely doing my job.

The protests in Portland—and the response by federal troops—is occupying national headlines even now. It is definitely relevant to local readers—as much as any story about the rights and responsibilities of Americans is relevant to any American, anytime. Many people have strong opinions one way or the other about the issue—as if it were a black-and-white thing; they either support the protesters, as many average Portland residents who I know do, or they get disgusted by the destruction of property. My job is to report the news as accurately as I can, wherever it lands. What I can assert, however, is that the core message from protesters has and should remain that the focus needs to be on protecting Black lives. Let us not forget that in all the chaos and national attention Oregon now finds itself in.

OPINION The Governor’s Guidance is Enough.

We Don’t Need Other Public Entities Creating a New Playbook.

E

very morning, we, like so many others, wake up and wonder, “what’s going to change today?” What new guidelines will we fall under? Will today be the day a loved one gets sick?

Will it be a day when the virus trends move downward?

We, like so many others, know that we are not in control of this situation—but that our actions, collectively, as a society, can have an impact. We believe the public health experts in our community, who have far more training in epidemiology and health care than we do, when they set forth guidelines intended to help the community stay safe and move through this pandemic as quickly as possible, with the lowest-possible loss of life.

Every morning we wake up, wondering with some frustration what new guidelines will be in place—but you can be sure we are taking those guidelines to heart.

Under current guidelines, gatherings of 100 people or fewer can still occur. It is under those guidelines that places such as the Tower Theatre continue to press onward with indoor events, bringing a much-needed dose of culture and connection to downtown Bend. Drive-in movie events and farmers markets, taking place outdoors, also add to a sense of connection that, while somewhat intangible, bring a sense of a life well-lived to community members.

It is in this context that we have to ponder the decision by some local, public entities to continue to restrict access and events at public facilities—even when certain events fall under the guidelines set forth by the governor and the public health experts who work with her.

In a story last week, we detailed the experience of one local theatre

producer, who, hoping to stage a production in Bend’s Drake Park, received a hard “no” on her plan.

The producer told the Source that the plan met all the current guidelines, but Bend Park and Recreation District Business Manager Michael Egging told the Source for that article that, “avoiding large gatherings is the safest option and the fastest way for our community at large to get back to normal.”

Businesses and individuals—at least, those who care to abide by a social contract that respects the rule of law and others’ health—are looking to the guidelines from the governor as the last word on what we can do and how we can do it during this uncertain time. So if the governor’s guidance still allows for gatherings of up to 100 people, it is not up to other entities—and especially ones owned by the public—to create a new playbook for us to follow.

Our public facilities should follow the governor’s guidance, but they should not be able to play epidemiologist or public health expert and impose stricter restrictions than are already being imposed upon the people who pay the taxes that cause them to exist.

To make the matter only more ironic, tourists continue to flood some of those same public facilities, largely unaccountable, unmasked and grouped up in large numbers. By all appearances, our public agencies appear willing to tiptoe around the tourists, while making it unnecessarily harder for locals to conduct business.

The governor’s guidance is enough. When it comes to the use of our publicly funded facilities, we don’t need other public entities creating a new playbook.

Mr. Anderson, Your comments, published several years back, on what to do when confronted with unwanted cats on your property placed the burden on the property owner experiencing the nuisance.

The obligation rightfully belongs to the property owner who is containing, storing, a known nuisance on his property.

I come from an agricultural region. It is established law that the property owner who contains a bull, or other animal that is known to be dangerous to an adjoining property, is creating a nuisance if their animal escapes their control.

Dog owners who fail to control their dogs, and said dogs worries sheep on an adjoining property, are liable for heavy fines and their dog is put down.

Here is my reason for writing. The focus of this roaming animal nuisance discussion needs to change. The creator of the nuisance, cat owners who allow their pets to roam, need to be seen as the cause of the problem… not the property owner who objects.

Have you any information on whether the Bend City Council is open to an ordinance requiring owners to control their nuisance animals?

PS: Nuisance law is an area within property law. Basically, a property owner who engages on his property in an activity (noise, smoke, flowing or standing water, animals, etc.) that if allowed to escapes to an adjoining property, is guilty of creating a nuisance.

RE: NO FARMS WITHOUT WATER, 7/15

My name is Katrina and I am the Executive Director of the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance (HDFFA).

In this article Yancy Lind was quoted saying, “There are no economically viable farms in Deschutes County.

They do it for fun. They get all the water they want because they are senior, with big lawns, a horse, a pond.

The farmers in Jefferson County have to let their land go fallow based on what a bunch of people agreed to over 100 years ago.”

I’m writing to say this is an inaccurate statement and in fact we work with many farmers and ranchers in Deschutes County who make a living off of their farm, or if they can’t they often have another household member (perhaps even themselves as well)

work another job to make enough money to run their farm.

I realize that a subset of the Deschutes County population operates so-called farms in Exclusive Farm Use zones, as he described; but to make a blanket statement that there are no economically viable farms is inaccurate. A few amazing farmers/ ranchers are Boundless Farmstead, Fields Farm, Sakari Farms, Central Oregon Ostrich, Central Oregon Veterans Ranch, Crump Ranch, DD Ranch, Deschutes Canyon Garlic, the list goes on.

If anyone is interested in learning more about the economic value, I co-wrote a publication with OSU entitled, “The Economic Impact of Local Food on the Central Oregon Economy.”

Also, the Central Oregon OSU Small Farms Extension Agent has done trials with drought tolerant plants at the Central Oregon Agriculture Research and Extension Center. www.hdffa.org (Click Find Local Food to find C.O. farms and ranches) and Tools (For a link to the study).

RE: FINES FOR THE UNMASKED, WEB STORY, 7/23

That is just great, lets fine somebody $100, $200, $500 in times where many are finding it hard to pay rent of buy food. Agreed, we should all do our part and wear a mask, but get real. There will be those who choose not too, fining them will not help.

Government overreach for sure. One thing COVID has proven is that people with any bit of authority will overstep it. We are seeing this in many facets of our society in these trying times, sad so sad.

—Lou Penya

according to 2019 U.S. Census information—meaning that force was used on Black men at a rate of more than four times higher than the overall Black population, and over two times higher on Black women than the overall Black population.”

We should all be fully aware that statistics can be used selectively to support whatever narrative the author wants to share. However, the statistics you referenced only account for the population makeup in Bend and fail to take into account the actual crime that brought the police and suspect together in the first place, and the behavior of the suspect during that encounter.

Thankfully you acknowledged that “arrests in any city inevitably include those who don’t live in that city.”

But on a national level, Blacks comprise 13% of the population and according to the FBI, account for 38% of all violent crimes. That’s a rate of almost three times higher than the overall Black population.

I am not suggesting that Bend has a similar connection, however I think it’s unfair to imply that, crime and behavior aside, you are significantly more likely to be treated harshly by our police because of your race.

Sadly, we can no longer rely on the media to inform us, thoroughly and objectively. And far too many, particularly younger generations, rely solely on social media and the loudest voices to form their opinions. Even those of us who have the time and motivation to search out the facts have a

challenge sorting through the political and social biases. Let all the facts see the light of day to enable us to make educated, informed decisions rather than get swept up in the hysteria surrounding all of us today.

—Rick Seibert

Letter of the Week:

Rick—Thanks for taking the time to read our recent editorial, and also to go back to the other editorial to learn more. While I appreciate your efforts to learn from our work, I think you’re missing the point. Our country’s justice system is still based on a model of “innocent until proven guilty,” and thus, even if a suspect is accused of a violent crime rather than a more benign one, it is not for police to play judge and jury and to mete out “justice” in the form of force. Whatever the alleged crime, it’s a cop’s job to bring a suspect in, and to do so peacefully, whenever possible.

Our job as reporters, meanwhile, is to state the facts. I believe we continue to do that as “thoroughly and objectively” as we are able, but kudos to you for highlighting a portion of our argument that may not have been clear to all readers!

—Nicole Vulcan

STATISTICS ARE MISLEADING - RE: A CURFEW WON’T SOLVE BEND’S LEADERSHIP VACUUM, 7/22

I was alarmed when I read something in your July 22nd editorial: “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.” Let’s all agree, that’s horrible if it’s true.

I had missed the prior week’s Source, so I had to go back and read your June 17th editorial again: “The Bend Police department’s own 2019 Force Response Report shows that officers used force on Black men at a rate of 2.6%, and Black women at a rate of 1.3% in 2019, in a city with an overall Black population of .6%,

Broken Pipes, Broken Promises

The tribes at Warm Springs deal with both a water shortage and a dramatic spike in COVID-19 cases

By Laurel Brauns

A

s the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs try to manage one of the highest COVID-19 infection rates in the state, the thousands of people who live there don’t have usable tap water and can’t flush their toilets. The situation has been going on for more than a month, but it’s not the first time a boil-water notice has hit Warm Springs.

Then on July 23, the tribes announced Shirley Stayhi Heath, wife of Warm Springs Chief Delvis Heath and Yakama tribal member, died of COVID-19.

“She was a beloved mother, grandmother and adviser to her husband,” a July 24 press release from the CTWS read.

Second summer without water The people on the reservation have been on a boil-water notice since June 25, but the piping problem that forced the notice has been an issue for years.

Last summer, the pipe broke in the same place, where the system crosses Shitike Creek, causing water shortages for months. This time around, the break

something may get contaminated.”

Martinez said one of the challenges is that the current break happened in an area of infrastructure built by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the agency is not taking full responsibility for the fix. Meanwhile, the tribe’s own water treatment plant also needs major repairs and may be producing drinking water that does not meet federal standards. A fix for the BIA portion will cost $40 million, and a complete system overhaul—including a new water treatment facility—is in the neighborhood of $200 million, Martinez said.

Over the last few decades, as the water problems have only gotten worse, the tribes have relied on emergency fixes and what seems like pocket change from the state and federal government to patch up the system.

Most recently, the Oregon emergency board (formed to make quick fiscal decisions when the legislature is not in session) unanimously approved $3.58 million in state reserves to start to fix

"There’s plenty of blame to go around; over the years we’ve saved money for our projects, the [tribal] council people have a lot of power… But infrastructure isn’t sexy, you can’t see it, it’s not like a building, there’s no ribbons to cut."

—Louie Pitt left the tribe’s health clinic, senior housing, businesses and thousands of people without safe water to drink or use to wash their hands.

“It’s been a crisis. People need drinking water with the heat,” said Danny Martinez, the emergency manager for the tribes. “In my opinion, if you have to boil water and let it cool off to wash your hands, somewhere along the line

some of the issues. Martinez said these repairs won’t get underway until the first week of August, at the earliest.

Last year, Rep. Daniel Bonham (R-Dalles), who represents Warm Springs along with other areas of Central Oregon, pushed for $7.8 million in future state lottery funds for infrastructure projects on the reservation, but these never materialized due to the pandemic.

Danny Martinez

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Emergency Manager Danny Martinez transports bottled water throughout the many districts on the reservation.

Around 60% of the people who live on the Warm Springs Reservation have been on a boil-water notice for more than a month. This hand washing and shower station is one of many provided by Indian Health Services and placed throughout the districts to provide a place to sanitize as COVID-19 cases continue to rise.

Louie Pitt, the director of government affairs and planning for the tribes, told the Source that from a big-picture perspective, it comes down to the broken promises of the federal government when it signed the Treaty of 1855. The government guaranteed it would promote the well-being of the tribes in exchange for nearly 11 million acres in Central Oregon. Pitt believes it's safe to say that the tribe’s “well-being” would have at the very least included clean drinking water.

Oregon U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley have been working to get the tribes more money: in December, they introduced the Western Tribal Water Infrastructure Act but it stalled out in the Indian Affairs Committee.

“We need a lot more than just water,” said Carina Miller, a tribal member who is running as the Democratic nominee for the state senate, on OPB’s “Think Out Loud.” “The state lottery money [$7.8 million] was for 2021; this was allocated years away knowing that we are dealing with this right now. It’s taking [contaminated] drinking water to get the light shown on the issue.”

Pitt explained that while the tribes have a number of successful enterprises— Pelton/Round Butte Hydroelectric Project, the Indian Head Casino and a cannabis company in the works—these don’t produce enough revenue for an infrastructure overhaul. Currently, the casino is closed through Aug. 4.

“There’s plenty of blame to go around; over the years we’ve saved money for our projects, the [tribal] council people have a lot of power… But infrastructure isn’t sexy, you can’t see it, it’s not like a building, there’s no ribbons to cut,” he said.

Pitt said they are trying to stay 21 days ahead with their water supply and have had many donations of water and other supplies over the last few weeks, including from St. Charles Bend. The

agency has set up portable toilets, showers and wash stations in most of the districts of Warm Springs, which spans 640,000 acres.

COVID-19 outbreak For the last month, the tribes have been reporting approximately 20 new cases of COVID-19 a week. As of Tuesday morning, the total case count was 165 with one death out of roughly 3,300 members that live on the reservation. That’s a rate of 22 times the rate of infection in nearby Deschutes County. The tribal government has been closed since July 21, the second shutdown this year. Due to the escalating situation, Gov. Kate Brown put Jefferson County on the state’s watch list along with seven other counties.

“It’s so difficult with summer time; pay day comes up, there’s things to do,” Pitt said. “But [the tribal] council sent a hard message, with firm orders for isolation and quarantine.”

“Wear a mask, no exception to the rules,” Martinez added. “If you’re not in quarantine and you’re supposed to be we can take you to court to hold you accountable.”

Wyden and Merkely recently got the Warm Springs Housing Authority $900,000 to help with the COVID-19 pandemic for fixing up quarantine units and an office building. For now, tribal members with active COVID-19 cases are staying in the closed Kah-Nee-Ta Resort and receiving care from nurses from the Indian Health Authority.

Meanwhile, the threat of wildfire looms.

“I live in the community here and our water tank which is usually 95-100% full is only 45% full,” Pitt said. “In the past, I’ve been able to water my lawn for protection; if a fire starts, I need water to protect myself against fire. It’s scary… We’re all just trying to stay hydrated and quarantining, watching old reruns and sometimes tuning into the news.”

According to the DA’s office, 20-year-old Dylan Freville drove his truck through a crowd gathered for a Black Lives Matter demonstration May 30.

“On at least two occasions he quickly accelerated his truck as he passed the rally, causing thick plumes of diesel smoke to eject from his truck’s exhaust pipe onto rally attendees, causing them physical discomfort,” the DA’s Tuesday press release stated. “This act is referred to colloquially as ‘rolling coal’ and is often done to people riding bicycles, people driving electric cars, and, of late, people attending black lives matter rallies.”

The DA’s office stated that they identified Freville after he posted an Instagram post about it. Other rally attendees also took pictures and videos that helped identify Freville, Hummel’s office stated.

A family member of Billal Ahmedin posted a video of the alleged racial bias incident outside the Bend Red Robin on Facebook July 1. See the video in the online version of this story at bendsource.com.

VOLUME 24 ISSUE 24 / JULY 30, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Five Central Oregon deaths reported in a single day Five more people in Central Oregon have died from COVID-19, the Oregon Health Authority reported Tuesday. Before mid-July, Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties had reported zero deaths from the virus.

That spiked later in the month, after an outbreak at Mt. Bachelor Memory Care in Bend, where three residents died last week.

The deaths reported Tuesday include a 77-year-old woman from Jefferson County, who died at St. Charles Bend July 23, an 88-yearold man in Deschutes County who died at St. Charles Bend July 25, a 78-year-old woman in Deschutes County, who died July 23 at Mt. Bachelor Memory Care, and two women in Jefferson County, ages 64 and 82, whose locations of death are still being confirmed. OHA reported that each of the five Central Oregonians who died either had underlying health conditions, or for whom the “presence of underlying conditions are being confirmed.”

A Night on the Streets of Portland, Where Federal Troops Remain Ending violence at the federal courthouse “will have to come from the community,” U.S. Attorney said

By Nicole Vulcan

Nicole Vulcan

a crowd chanting: “Enough is enough.

Enough is enough....”

And then the loudspeakers, on this night, announcing that Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was in attendance; the people speaking before and after him reminding the crowd that the point of all this, even as federal troops introduced more chaos into protests this past week, was to remember that Black Lives Matter—that this was about putting an end to the profiling and killing of Black people at the hands of law enforcement.

In response, a group of mothers, calling themselves the Wall of Moms, has been attending the protests, standing between troops and Black Lives Matter protesters. The Wall of Moms Facebook group had over 9,000 members when I went to the page last Wednesday morning to learn more about them. By the time of this writing, it has jumped to over 13,000—six days after its creation.

I walked into the area around the federal courthouse and the Justice Center just as Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, to many jeers from the crowd, was talking.

Wheeler, who oversees the Portland Police Bureau, has faced much criticism for allowing PPB officers to use tear gas and other violent tactics against protesters during earlier clashes.

As speeches fizzled at the Justice Center (and the guys Wheeler left with took the microphone and speakers with them) demonstrators began to move again toward the courthouse, just north of the Justice Center. Some stood against the barricade, shaking it and calling “Feds Go Home.” People lit fires behind the barricade; some jumped over.

By this time, the crowd, some of whom had spent many nights clashing Nicole Vulcan

The "Wall of Moms" wear yellow and stand between protesters and law enforcement, in what its Facebook group describes as a show of solidarity for the protection of Black lives.

n Monday, Billy Williams, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, told reporters that nightly clashes in downtown Portland were “wearing this city out.” Protesters have demonstrated on the streets in front of the Multnomah County Justice Center and the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse for more than 60 days, calling for an end to the killing of Black people at the hands of police.

On the flip side, Williams detailed Monday how federal troops—in the city since mid-July, under the direction of President Trump—also faced violence in the way of concussions, puncture wounds, broken bones and laser burns. “Leaders need to join together and ask that this end,” Williams said.

On July 22, I drove to Portland to document the evolving clashes between federal troops and protesters. As a Bendite and former Portlander who’s attended and covered many downtown Portland demonstrations, I wanted to see the action, appearing more violent than any I’d witnessed in the city first-hand. Walking up to the scene, the smell of smoke and something slightly peppery, plus the roar of the helicopters circling above and the sounds of people chanting, woke up any sluggishness I might have been feeling from the long drive from Bend.

Even amid a global pandemic, much of the city remains its idyllic self, with gardens in full bloom. Downtown, however, on a few city blocks near the courthouse, you can smell what’s ahead before anything else. A slight whiff of pepper—or perhaps more like the scent of RoundUp, left in an enclosed shed over the summer. Next is the boom of

with police—and now federal troops— began to warn that the tear gas was coming. Intermittently, a recorded warning, announcing that ‘this is an illegal demonstration,’ played from the courthouse building. Fireworks shot from the crowd toward the courthouse with loud bangs. Smoke from the fires and fireworks billowed around.

When the tear gas started, I was down the block, trying to find the location of Riot Ribs, the free barbecue stand started by Lorenzo, a former Black Panther. He set up the free food stand (donations encouraged), for demonstrators, and has been a mainstay of the Portland protests—even getting a boost this week from Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR3), who donated and encouraged his constituents to do the same Willamette Week reported.

I came around the corner in time to find people coughing and crying from the gas. I walked through it for a while, grabbing a photo or two as medics handed out eye wash, but eventually succumbed to a coughing fit. I was wearing a cloth mask made by my mom. My goggle game, however, was a bit stronger; living in Bend, a quality ski helmet and pair of goggles is practically handed out as part of the Bend starter kit. My eyes barely teared up.

Mayor Wheeler was still downtown, and, wearing scienc-y goggles and a surgical mask, reportedly stood near the front of the line, against the barricade at Hatfield courthouse, when troops released the canisters.

After Wheeler left, Portland Police declared the scene a riot, telling everyone to leave, and according to OPB, face “arrest, citation or riot control agents.”

(Those riot control agents still can include tear gas.)

Throughout the night, the police— and even federal troops’—presence was minimal. A statement from Portland Police July 17, indicative of its policy toward current protests, states that police will “remain clear of peaceful protests and demonstrations but will respond if people light fires, barricade doors to the Justice Center, commit acts placing community members or public employees at grave risk of injury or interfere with the ability for public employees to conduct necessary functions of jobs in the Justice Center or other acts placing people at grave risk of injury.”

On July 23, a group of Oregon state senators and representatives—on the heels of similar moves by Oregon’s Washington, D.C., delegation—delivered a letter to Attorney General William Barr and Chad Wolf, acting head of the Department of Homeland Security, calling for the federal troops to leave Oregon. None of Central Oregon’s state legislators signed the letter.

More troops are reportedly headed to Portland to continue to respond to the assaults on federal property, The Washington Post reported this week.

Williams, Oregon’s U.S. attorney, would not confirm that fact, but he and the federal agents joining him on the press call Monday said the solution to ending the violence would “have to come from the community.”

What We Lose When We Lose Live Music

Three local event organizers weigh in on the loss of community gatherings, and bringing people safely together again

By Laurel Brauns

R

eporting on COVID-19 has become a numbers game: How many cases? How many deaths? How many people unemployed? How many ventilators? How many hospital beds?

But lost within these statistics are the emotional and social costs of forced isolation. Music events and festivals were the first on the chopping block when the COVID-19 pandemic began, and they’ll be the last to come back.

Gov. Kate Brown’s current phased plans for reopening suggest that large events won’t return to Oregon until a vaccine or treatment is widely available.

This week, three local event promotors discussed the deeper impacts of canceled events on the social health of the community. They said the losses go far beyond lost revenues: These events are something to look forward to, offering a chance to connect with old friends and perhaps most importantly, a tangible feeling of belonging.

“If you look at social gathering as a core foundation of how a community keeps its mental health and physical health, [communities thrive] when they have a sense of connectivity,” said Cameron Clark, who runs the production company, C3 Events. It began hosting the NorthWest Crossing Saturday Farmers Market in June this year. “These events have propagated and germinated and grown into really robust functioning things throughout the entire region. They contribute to a collective sense of happiness. Communities that gather have a higher social health index.”

Clark was a recent guest on the Source Weekly’s “Bend Don’t Break” podcast, where he spoke about the social impacts of limited gatherings and canceled events. The podcast is hosted by the Source’s publisher Aaron Switzer, who owns Lay It Out Events, and also shared his experience as the head of one of the region’s largest event companies.

The Index of Social Health was published yearly by the Institute of Innovation in Social Policy from 1987-2010 and measured 16 social indicators including child abuse and poverty, teenage suicide and drug abuse, unemployment, health

insurance coverage, alcohol-related traffic fatalities, food insecurity, housing, income inequality and unemployment.

More recently, the federal government’s Healthy People 2020 campaign has been tracking similar metrics.

Putting on a weekly market Farmers markets, because they provided essential goods, were never officially closed down. Clark decided it was worth going to the trouble to put on the weekly markets, serving as both a gathering ritual and providing some financial stability to farmers.

“I think people who live here come to look forward to that, and there’s just a sense of despair attached to not being able to see people and meet new people and hug people and connect,” Clark said.

This year, the Northwest Crossing farmers market includes a lineup of Central Oregon musical acts, including B Side Brass Band, Third Seven and Popcorn.

“I think the fact that music has largely gone quiet is a metaphorical thing going on for all of us, like when the music stops, the soundtrack of joy goes away,” Clark said.

The Tower Theatre presses on For Amanda Bird—the communications manager at the Tower Theatre and longtime music lover—the physical experience of being in a theater, and sharing that poignant space with the performers, was part of why she went to shows in the first place.

“There’s something so magical and special about going to a live event,” Bird said. “I go to concerts and plays because of the emotional connection.

You have the memory of that night that lasts a lifetime.”

According to Bird, since the Tower Theatre first shut down March 12, it’s had to cancel 55 events and lost $450,000 in ticket and rental revenue.

It’s had to dip into its preservation reserves to make ends meet.

Gov. Kate Brown’s most recent announcement banning gatherings of more than 100 people didn’t really change the Tower’s most recent plans to reopen.

The Tower Theatre in downtown Bend has a maximum capacity of 80 people per show including performers, volunteers and audience members. The staff marks off seats with cloth coverings before the shows to isolate the audience into pods.

The staff calculated how many people it could have in the theater at a time: it’s capacity went from 466 to 80 people which includes performers and staff.

“We’re not going to have big names at $150 a head,” Bird said Instead of radically transforming its mission to pivot to livestreamed events, the staff decided to focus on the local community by highlighting the talent of local artists, musicians and dancers.

Bird said by showcasing local talent, it also discourages out-of-town travel for events, and allows the theater more flexibility to pull back in the event of another lockdown. The next large, local production “Titanic the Musical” will be performed by Thoroughly Modern Productions there from Sept. 11-20.

“We won’t see the ramifications of all of this for a long time, but it’s two-sided. For the individual musicians, that is their expression, their art form and how they make money. And then on the consumer side, yes it’s great to watch on screens [from home] but it’s impossible to replace the experience of coming together at a live performance. It’s very jarring, emotionally, culturally,

creatively and financially.

“On a human level, people need people; we are communal in nature, and isolation is detrimental to our psyche,” she said. “We know from science that music heals, babies [who] can’t even talk know how to dance, people with amnesia remember songs even when they’ve lost most other memories.”

Switzer of Lay It Out Events said the prolonged absence of cultural gatherings has had destructive psychological consequence for people in the community—especially those who form part of their identity around being a part of these festivals and events every year.

“When there’s discussions about the impact of the virus on the community, we talk about economics, we talk about safety, but there are those other things that go into the equation,” he said.

“When we do reopen, people are going to have a newfound appreciation for these events. They aren’t just entertainment, they are not just fun, there’s something that is a core part of who we are as humans. We long for connection and it adds to our sense of health and vitality.”

Reminiscing on Bend’s Music Scene

Local artists reminisce on what makes Bend’s music scene so unique

Favorite Central Oregon venue: My two favorite venues to play in Central Oregon are the Volcanic Theatre for the sound and vibe, and the Domino Room for the history I’ve had with that room. It was the first real music venue I got to play at when I was 16, just getting Larry And His Flask started.

Name: Justin “Red Buffalo” Lien Band: Queen Chief What you love about playing in Bend: I loved playing Bend because of the winter stormy, but mostly beautiful, drive there.

Favorite Venue: My favorite venue by far in Central Oregon is Volcanic Theater Pub. It’s spacious but with a Kyle Switzer

And where do local music makers like to play most?

As part of this week’s feature on the Central Oregon music scene, I checked in with some local musicians to answer these questions and more.

Name: Scott Oliphant Band: The Color Study What to love about playing in Bend: I love how supportive the local music community is toward each other. It was awesome to regularly see 150 people + at local shows, whether

at Spoken Moto, The Brown Owl or The Volcanic.

Favorite Central Oregon venue: My favorite venue has to be Volcanic Theatre Pub, mostly because it is a “real” venue like you’d find in a bigger town, and for a rock band like ours it has a lot of things that just make the experience more enjoyable. We’ve had amazing shows at Spoken Moto, Brown Owl and Father Luke’s Room, amongst others.

Name: Jeshua Marshall Band: Larry And His Flask and Guardians of The Underdog What to love about playing in Bend: I love that music is constantly flowing in Bend. Bend is quickly becoming a little magnet for musicians.

There are so many incredible players that live here I find myself constantly busy playing with many folks. I grew up in Redmond in the late ‘90s through the early teens. I’ve watched the music scene grow and die many times over. It used to be a lot harder to find places to play. We would buy generators and take our sound systems out to the woods to have punk shows out on BLM land or

Name: Chandler Ryan Price, aka Chandler P. Band: Solo rap artist What to love about playing in Bend: I love playing in Bend because there’s so much local talent to add to the lineup, there’s endless possibilities.

Also, the Bend crowd is extremely interactive and energetic when it comes to watching live performances.

Favorite Central Oregon Venue: My favorite venue has to be The Domino Room because I came up in the music scene playing there. Jim and the whole Slayton/Dickey family has always treated me and my team extremely well, making sure we are taken care of to every extent.

some true-blue music fans; they make it so much fun. The Bend music scene is unique in that musicians of so many different styles come together and are super supportive of each other. It doesn’t feel as competitive as other places we have been; however the quality of the music is top notch!

Favorite Central Oregon venue: M&J Tavern holds a special place in my heart. They do a wonderful job supporting local musicians, giving them a place to practice and a place to put on a show!

Local musician Michalis Patterson details personal struggles with shutdowns, restrictions and a lack of live performances

LOCAL MUSIC

By Cayla Clark the last live shows in Central Oregon before the shutdown.

“I played at the Brown Owl, and the very next day everything got shut down. I had to cancel a lot of shows…

I was supposed to leave for Italy on March 30 and that got completely shut down. As soon as restrictions lifted, I immediately started getting booked. But it was kind of like as soon as things opened, people let out the air they had been holding in for the last couple of months. They were like, ‘OK, cool, we can be chaotic and dangerous again.’ I’d see people without masks on, not social distancing, coming up and giving each other hugs and stuff,” he said.

“There were always safety measures put in place by the venues, but they were definitely not respected and not always enforced. I saw the direction playing live shows was going, so I made the decision to shut it down myself.”

Patterson canceled all of the shows slated to take place indoors, including a show at Northside Bar and Grill.

“Playing indoor venues just isn’t worth it,” he said. “A lot of the people that come to shows right now are tourists.

They don’t care enough to stay within state lines, so the chances are that they won’t respect our guidelines.”

As is the case with many in the entertainment industry, everything remains completely up in the air. “I know I won’t be able to do shows again until 2021,” Patterson said. “A lot of bands refuse to tour unless there’s a vaccine in place. I used to tour 10 months out

T

he year 2020 hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park for most. For artists, musicians, event coordinators, “theatre people” and the like, the rapid spread of COVID-19 means a lack of employment as well as a major cultural void.

Michalis Patterson, one of Bend’s local musicians, works behind the scenes in the music industry when he isn’t onstage, giving him a unique perspective on the entertainment-related issues that the rise of the novel coronavirus has brought about.

“Before I moved back to Bend, I was living in Portland and working with Monqui Presents,” Patterson said.

Monqui Presents is a Portland-based production company, in business since 1983. “They do all of the Les Schwab shows and a lot of shows in Portland. I was working shows at the MODA Center, but all of that work came to a halt at the beginning of March, as soon as there were restrictions on the amount of people allowed at a venue. I was a stagehand, that was my day job. Not only was I out of work, but I had to cancel all of my tours. My whole life got turned around.”

Patterson began working in construction to make ends meet. “I wasn’t eligible for unemployment because I worked for so many different event companies and had so many employers,” he said. “Construction was really the only job available.”

In addition to the stagehand gigs, he said he used to make a decent amount of money playing local shows.

The last one he played was one of

of the year; I don’t think that will ever be the same. For me, that’s the biggest thing. I don’t think my life will be back to normal for at least half a decade.”

And like other artists, this unusual time in history is one he’s tapping for creative and personal growth. “I’ve been working my ass off framing so that I can afford to make this new album that I’ve been working on,” he explained. “I’ve

been taking this difficult circumstance head-on and feeling every emotion, then using that emotion to create something powerful in these unprecedented and difficult times. I encourage other artists—everyone—to take this time to better yourself and become the version of yourself that you want to be. You’re never going to get this time again. The world is on pause; take advantage.”

ocals might have seen him playing around the Central Oregon scene for years in Precious Byrd and in the family band The Parnells, but now we’re getting a deeper look at Casey Parnell as a solo artist. On July 10, Parnell released his debut solo album, “Badlands.” The project is a 10-track mix of rock, pop, country and Americana. The beauty of “Badlands” is that it really highlights Parnell’s ability as a songwriter, with catchy hooks and tunes that could easily be the soundtrack to a High Desert summer.

As Parnell tells the Source, the album is designed to guide the listener through a wilderness adventure: perhaps some needed alone time on a hike, or even on a summer’s day cruise.

He worked on the record in both Central Oregon and Nashville, Tennessee, which was an experience Parnell said he will never forget. Parnell talks about how “Badlands” came together.

Source Weekly: You’ve been playing around Central Oregon for years.

Even though people are familiar with you already, does this album still feel like a new introduction of yourself as a musician?

Casey Parnell: Yes, it sure does.

Central Oregon has been so good to me, it’s a wonderful home and been an amazing place to play music. Since I’ve played in a few bands locally for so long, releasing a solo record feels like a rebirth in many ways. I’ll still play in those bands, but it was fun to explore my own project in my own way. I spent a lot of time writing and reflecting on what I wanted my own sound to be. You can’t help but sort of feel the beautiful landscape of Central Oregon in the music. I landed in a roots rock vein nuanced by country and folk.

It really felt like me. I’m so proud of the work and it’s been fun to get it out there.

SW: You worked on “Badlands” for over a year. What was the experience like writing and recording this record? And did the pandemic shift your plans of how you released it?

CP: Songwriting has always been a passion of mine, so I wrote most of the record here in Oregon, but I also spent a few months in Nashville at the start of 2020 to pursue writing and to learn. I love a good story, a good concept, and songs that make you feel something. Nashville was a crash course in songwriting and it was amazing, but two months in on my trip a tornado ripped through the city while I was there.

I was OK, but many people in East Nashville were not. Homes were destroyed, life taken. Then in my third month there, the pandemic happened. It was just a wild time to be there. When hardship happens like that, art and music are an amazing place to process. Despite those crazy events, I had a great experience and will go back. I can see a life where I go back and

forth from Nashville to Bend, writing with and for other artists as well.

SW: There are a ton of different genres that shine through on the album. Was there anything new you tried for the record soundwise that you’re proud of or excited about?

CP: Funny, I actually started making a pop record and recorded a full EP before this. The songs were fine, but something shifted in me last year. Blame it on Nashville or the pandemic, but I felt like that batch of songs weren’t authentically me. So I switched to a more organic approach. This album has the type of grit and topical richness that I have loved listening to on other albums. It’s very much more a good representation of myself.

I love many genres and draw from them. I learned guitar riffs back in the day from bands like Nirvana, but would also sing along to Elvis with my grandparents in the car. On the album you’ll hear the roots-rock-leaning “Kerosene Creek,” and then a few songs later drop into a much more R&B feeling, like “Bad Advice.” It’s meant to be a journey.

SW: Love and self-reflection seem to be two of the main themes on the project.

What did you enjoy most about tackling those topics and turning them into song?

CP: I’ve always wanted to make music that makes people roll their windows down, drive through the desert and surrender. I’m inspired by artists like Bruce Springsteen and Brandon Flowers of The Killers. They have a way of painting landscapes with their music. I always remember a song because of how it makes me feel. So I guess I was writing from the heart, being as honest as I could about topics like shame and loneliness, love and loss. Hopefully someone will find themselves somewhere in one of these songs.

Badlands is available on streaming platforms, or fans can pre-order it on vinyl at badlandsgeneralstore.com along with other merch. And yes—Parnell will still be playing in the bands most fans know him for.

No Live Music? Look to LOCAL the Streets.

MUSIC As COVID-19 continues to restrict local venues, musicians are taking their gigs outdoors

A

s local shows continue to be postponed, venue seating is limited, and COVID-19 cases go up, being a local musician is proving to be one of the hardest jobs to bounce back from in this pandemic era. To the local music lover, the horizon is looking gray. However, to the jobless but ever so

optimistic Bend musician, there might be one last venue available.

Street musicians have been covering every corner in Bend, often without any equipment other than a guitar and an open case. New sounds and experimental vocals emerge from every corner of Bend. Bond and Wall streets

are the new local venues of choice; First Friday is proving to be the new Coachella for street musicians.

The Source roamed the streets this week, grabbing photos (and video—check it out at bendsource.com) of some of the local acts.

Here are a few we found.

Street Performer Taylor Levin, pictured at left, seranades shoppers at the Wednesday farmers market in downtown Bend.

James Michel Miller, shown at right, strums his guitar at a downtown sweet spot, on the corner of Wall and Oregon, right outside of Goody's.

Traveling street performer "Wade," left, stops by to play on the corner of Bond and Minnesota. Wade, not being a local, was only passing through Bend.

Pandemic or Not, the (Radio) Show Must Go On

21 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 24 / JULY 30, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

A young radio host shares his love of music over the airwaves, with some social-distancing adjustments

By Richard Sitts

T

hings were going well for McKenzie McCulloch in his young radio career. First, he completed an internship at Central Oregon’s community radio station, KPOV, and was four years into hosting his own show, “Ken and the Kindred Spirits,” airing Sundays, where he goes by his radio name, Ken McKenzie. Then Bend Radio Group hired him as a production assistant for the morning show on KSJJ, what McKenzie called his “dream job.”

And then the pandemic hit.

He continued doing his weekly country-pop KPOV show, though he had to produce it remotely from home, like most of the other KPOV deejays.

Meanwhile, Bend Radio Group had to indefinitely furlough a portion of its staff, including McKenzie.

“I have really missed my work there and the new people who I was getting to know (at BRG),” McKenzie said in an email.

Mom Debra McCulloch said of her son, “He’s a good kid and he can do so much more than people think he can.

We’re so thankful that KPOV gives him this opportunity.” She says McKenzie was diagnosed with speech and language delays at the age of three and was formally diagnosed with autism at age five. The family views his autism as a “super power,” Debra McCulloch said.

One of the people giving the budding creative a chance was Mike Flanagan, Backyard Bend program director for BRG, who says he first

met McKenzie when the aspiring deejay did a job shadow. “I could tell right away he understood and had a passion for radio broadcasting,” Flanagan wrote in an email.

“I was able to carve out a position for him this year. He quickly learned his duties and excelled at them, as I knew he would.”

Flanagan said McKenzie would generally communicate in “short phrases, single word replies and facial

expressions,” but that he wanted to offer him a shot to do some “voice work,” anyway. “Given the opportunity to handle some on-air work, he turned on the microphone and magic happened. He came alive with his personality and emotion.”

One Sunday morning not long before businesses started to close their doors, I visited McKenzie at the KPOV studio.

When asked what country artists he liked most, he rattled off a

country artists on his show, like Michael Ray, Justin Moore, Luke Bryan and Morgan Wallen. And to keep listeners on their toes, he’ll throw in some Kraftwerk, Fleetwood Mac or David Bowie.

McKenzie, 24, says his mentor was the late KPOV deejay, John Pesma, who hosted the country swing show and introduced him to what would become his sign-off theme song, “Mexico,” by Bob Moore and His Orchestra. His favorite part

of working in radio: “The talking, the board, the mic and the music,” McKenzie says.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ken, as both a volunteer and paid intern at KPOV since he first took our deejay class,” says KPOV Station Manager Jill Mahler. “It’s been such a joy watching him develop his skills and confidence as a radio deejay. His passion for radio and his drive to achieve his goals are impressive.”

During the pandemic, McKenzie learned how to produce his show from home. “I like it, and I have learned some new skills with my new microphone and the station software program, Adobe Audition, plus how to send it to the station,” he said during the shutdown. “It takes longer to do at home, so I really miss the KPOV station equipment and people.” He has received instruction from fellow KPOV show host, Chuckaroo the Buckaroo, and other hosts through emails, according to his mom.

With guidelines now eased from where they were earlier in the spring, he’s back to producing his show in person, at the station where his career began.

Lessons Learned

By Cayla Clark

@jacksonscornerbend

Four wine pairings and chef-prepared courses make for a relaxing afternoon on the lake.

Keep it Suttle Upcoming Suttle Lodge events combine regional wineries, breweries with chefprepared cuisine The Suttle Lodge & Boathouse has been hosting a variety of socially distanced, outdoor events since the start of summer.

“We like to slow things down a bit and let people relax and enjoy the weather, great food and delicious drinks,” said Alana Kambury, director of sales and community development. The Lodge’s Back Deck is set aside for the afternoon for guests with reservations that they can make online in advance.

July 30 - Wine on the Deck with Sass Winery Every Thursday, the Suttle Lodge hosts Wine on the Deck with a different regional winery. The tasting is paired with a four-course chef’s tasting menu, and is available for $55 (including gratuity). Sass Winery’s vineyard is located in the Willamette Valley, and winemaker Jerry Sass produces small amounts of complex and elegant wines inspired by the wines his father made in Western New York. The tasting will take place from 1-5pm.

Aug. 5 - Cookout with Everybody’s Brewing “Chef Jarrott Moonitz at The Suttle Lodge is grilling unique BBQ dishes every Wednesday to go with the rotating guest brewery lineup,” said Kambury. “Guests can pick up their dinner at the Beer Garden and find their own private corner on the property to dig in with their friends and family.” A fee of $20 will get you a BBQ dinner and complimentary beer tasting, though specialty beers, like Everybody’s Brewing’s Cyro Chronic IPA, will be available for purchase by the pint. The cookout takes place from 5-7pm and is first come, first served.

Aug. 6 - Wine on the Deck with Day Wines In 2012, Brianne Day started her own winery in the Willamette Valley, after working at a number of established Oregon wineries. As far as the chef-prepared food pairings, “Think a Rosé of Gamay Noir with a Pork Rillette Tartine,” said Kambury. “Or an Oregon Pinot Noir with Grilled Stone Fruit Salad.”

Remember the good old days when we could pack inside our favorite restaurant with no worries in the world? For some Bend eateries, normalcy is being repeatedly put on hold.

F

or Aaron Christenson, co-owner of Jackson’s Corner and Parrilla Grill in Bend, the threat of COVID-19 and its repercussions became all too real when one of his employees tested positive for COVID-19 in mid-July. He said he immediately shut all of his restaurant locations down and mandated employees get tested prior to reopening.

“None of us know a whole heck of a lot about COVID,” Christenson said.

“You hope it isn’t going to happen to your business, of course. We always knew that if someone tested positive, we would close right away. We found out that one of our employees tested positive on Saturday night, so what do you do? You definitely don’t open on Sunday.”

Christenson said closing was an easy decision in the moment. “We didn’t have the answers, and we didn’t know the safest way to navigate the situation.

We reached out to every resource we could find to try and figure out how to keep a business safely running.”

Dan Cole, a current Jackson’s Corner employee, noted that the owners have always been reasonable about sick time. That’s different than some places, where the norm is to come to work, as service industry workers joke, “unless you’re dead.”

“I’ve definitely worked at restaurants where I don’t feel comfortable calling in sick, but Jackson’s isn’t like that,” Cole said. “It’s the culture within the industry. I feel like some people feel they’re revered as being strong for coming to

work sick, but obviously in reality they’re doing more harm than good. Call in sick to work, that’s why we have sick pay.”

Since 2016, Oregon law has had a paid sick time law in place for all employees, regardless of whether they work fulltime. Employees receive at least one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours they work—up to 40 hours per year.

“One time I got suspended for going home sick mid-shift,” described Laura Wellington, a longtime service industry worker. “I was working a breakfast job, and I had to be at work at 6:30 am. I mean, you can text people at 5 am begging them to cover your shift, but they aren’t going to respond. I was legitimately sick, too; sometimes people call out when they aren’t sick, unfortunately, but I honestly should not have been at work that day.”

She also touched on positive local experiences. “When I worked at Spork, the owners and the management were really good about covering shifts. They know how to keep people happy and keep them wanting to show up. They understand that life happens… within reason. Right now, though, if someone is feeling sick, I don’t think it should be questioned. I think people working in the service industry should be regularly tested for COVID, because… why not?”

Jackson’s Corner and Parrilla paid sick leave to all its employees during the shutdown, the restaurants’ co-owner told the Source. “There’s so much information out there that isn’t common knowledge,”

Christenson said. “The Families First Coronavirus Response Act allows businesses to offer employees up to 80 hours of paid sick leave if they need to self-quarantine. We have to pay for it upfront, which we can do because of our PPP loan, but the government will reimburse it. If people knew this program was available then maybe more people would be getting tested. We’re also working towards getting our employees tested on a weekly basis.

Through the CARES Act, an essential business can utilize their insurance to have a testing booth set up outside of the business every week. Any essential business could be taking advantage of this.”

As of press time, all of Christenson’s businesses—other than the midtown Parrilla—were scheduled to open Wednesday. The midtown Parrilla location remains closed due to staffing issues. “It’s been a learning curve,” Christenson said. “Out of around 80 employees, we had two test positive, and they didn’t work at the same location. We’re learning how to prevent closing in the future if possible. We’re learning safer protocols and ways to prevent the spread within the business.

We’re learning what resources are available. These are crazy times, we really just have to do everything we can to keep one another safe.”

SCREEN I Made it a Blockbuster Night “The Last Blockbuster” finally has its premiere

By Jared Rasic

Drive-ins are making a comeback. It just took a global pandemic to make it so.

Regal Cinemas on a Saturday night (six months ago) can attest, but it also loves a throwback; anything that can keep us feeling like we’re still in a Norman Rockwell painting, as least for one more day.

“The Last Blockbuster” is a great documentary and I’m not just saying that because I’m in it (although you totally shouldn’t trust me because I’m in it), but because it’s a movie that is coming out at the perfect time in a country that desperately needs to see it.

right: “The Last Blockbuster” movie isn’t just important as a documentary about a dying mode of entertainment or about the wonderful people like General Manager Sandi Harding, who keep the store alive.

The movie is important because our country is on fire. It’s finally out in the open that people, generally, don’t really get along and that our differences are apparently so vast and insurmountable that we can’t even agree on how to try and keep each other safe. “The Last Blockbuster” seeks to remind us of the people we are underneath that. It’s a

movie about what we have in common and what we used to share with each other; it’s about something simple and communal in a time where a single-serving reality is necessary.

But you can’t take my word for it. I’m biased as all hell, and I just spent hours writing about a movie in which I talk about movies that I watched at an honest-to-god drive-in. Don’t listen to me.

I’m not even sure what’s real anymore.

he most meta moment of my life happened this past weekend, and it was amazing. I went to the world premiere of “The Last Blockbuster,” a movie that I’m in, about a dying form of entertainment, shown at a pop-up drive-in movie theater, which is in itself a dead form of entertainment, during a global pandemic when all movie theaters are hovering dangerously close to being extinct themselves.

The surreality of watching myself on the big screen talking about movies while drinking Deschutes Brewery beer across the way from an empty Regal Cinemas was not lost on me and capped off an evening I’ll never forget. Luckily, Taylor Morden and Zeke Kamm’s documentary, “The Last Blockbuster,” is a warm-hearted and crowd-pleasing look at how much fun it is to just enjoy something, non-cynically, and not care how dorky it makes you.

I’ve spent months writing about “The Last Blockbuster,” so finally getting to see the finished product (along with a packed parking lot full of Central Oregonians) was hugely satisfying. Even knowing some of what the film had in store couldn’t have prepared me for the biggest surprise of the movie: that Bend herself is the main character.

While “The Last Blockbuster” does spend most of its runtime talking about the little video store that could, it also lays out why Bend is the obvious choice for this final outpost of America’s lost childhood: Bend is, ultimately, kind of weird.

It’s a quirky town that, in the film, I compare to a hybrid of Twin Peaks and Gravity Falls. Sure, this town loves movies as the

No Such Thing as a 'Free Lunch'

Observing the cycle of life among butterflies and wasps and birds

By Jim Anderson

A popular trail system just became easier to access.

Peterson Ridge has a new trailhead—with parking and bathrooms

This Becker’s White butterfly caterpillar is about to become food for an Oregon Sand Wasp.

a bit by all the stinging going on—and then a kestrel comes along and grabs up the lizard to feed its hungry nestlings.

But let’s go back to the wasp. The paper wasp is classified as a predatory wasp, in the vespidae family, known as

Imagine my horror when I was photographing a very beautiful, fat and healthy caterpillar on the milkweed, when suddenly a BIG paper wasp flew by carrying one of the caterpillars off.

Sure, when things are going smoothly, the caterpillar will be getting a free lunch from the plant (and the plant may be getting fertilized by the caterpillar’s frass/poop). But then a wasp comes by, snatches up the caterpillar and hauls it off to feed its babies — AND then along comes the magpie who grabs the wasp out of the sky and hauls it home as food for its babies.

But then the pages keep turning, and along comes a bird hawk/accipiter who sees the magpie and decides it would be just the right thing to feed its young, and the tale goes on and on…

And, if a bird doesn’t get the wasp, a fence lizard watching from a nearby rock may swallow the wasp, not bothered

killer wasps. They’re very good at ridding a cash crop of insects that interfere with a farmer’s trying to make a living, and way better than pesticides. And there’s no chemical residue left lying around to kill everything else.

For a bigger caterpillar, wasps will use their stinger to subdue it. After feeding on it themselves, they’ll roll it up into a ball and haul it back to their own kids for breakfast. For harmful larvae, such as the cabbage butterfly, for example, that’s an end to the farmer’s problem.

I’ve been told it’s possible to purchase parasitic wasps from a garden shop, using them to destroy caterpillars causing serious damage. The wasps lay their eggs in caterpillars. When the caterpillar enters

the chrysalis stage to become an adult insect, the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the developing butterfly, then metamorphose into an adult wasp and exit through a tiny hole and fly off.

My wife Sue and I saw the evidence of that phenomenon back in the ‘80s when we brought 10 or so California tortoiseshell butterfly chrysalids home with us from a huge hatch near Tumalo Falls.

We wanted to obtain emerging butterfly photos. However, we observed (and photographed) only jewel-like adult parasitic wasps emerging from the chrysalid cases, not the butterflies we’d hoped for.

While some garden supply companies sell parasitic wasps, they can become a serious pest when they build their big paper-like bag nests near people. Any perceived threat to the wasps’s welfare will cause a lot of buzzing and stinging on humans nearby—and that makes everyone unhappy.

If you get bored with television, and the library hasn’t got the book you want to read, take a hike out to the nearest tent caterpillar’s nest, set your picnic chair and lunch close by and watch the action. But, remember, when the wasps complain about your presence and snack on your peanut butter and jam sandwich, “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch in nature…”

Sisters’ Peterson Ridge trail system has a new access point for people arriving via motor vehicle.

Those who’ve visited the trails probably remember the drill: Get to the trailhead early, or risk wandering the residential streets of Sisters looking for parking. That routine officially goes by the wayside this week, as the Deschutes National Forest opens a new trailhead for Peterson Ridge.

On July 29, officials from the Deschutes National Forest, City of Sisters, the Recreational Trails Program and Sisters Trail Alliance were scheduled to hold an invite-only COVID-era ribbon cutting ceremony at the new trailhead, located just east of Forest Road 16 near the old access point at Tyee Drive and Forest Road 16. The new trailhead has space for 25 cars to park, as well as restroom facilities. Later this year, the Sisters Trail Alliance will install an info kiosk at the trailhead as well, according to a release from the DNF. “The Peterson trail system has grown in usage and the new trailhead will provide much needed parking capacity and alleviate congestion in nearby neighborhoods,” stated Sisters Mayor Chuck Ryan in the July 27 release. “This trailhead, along with the recent Wychus Creek Overlook trail enhancement, are simply outdoor gems for our community especially in these challenging times.”

Located on the south end of Sisters, Peterson Ridge hiking and biking trail is a popular trail system with a number of loops of up to 20+ miles for hikers and riders to enjoy. Following the opening of the new trailhead, the old one has been decommissioned.

ust about everyone who reads, watches or listens to nature stories is familiar with the plight of monarch butterflies in the western U.S. Their numbers have dropped from millions to thousands in the last 20 years for a variety of reasons—mostly wrapped around habitat and their food plant, milkweed.

There I was over at Clarno, on the banks of the John Day River, visiting and delighting in the large milkweed growing operation the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service have teamed up on, growing milkweed for replanting on their lands in hopes of producing hundreds of monarch butterflies. Can’t beat that with a stick.

Imagine my horror when I was photographing a very beautiful, fat and healthy caterpillar on the milkweed, when suddenly a BIG paper wasp flew by carrying one of the caterpillars off.

My first impulse was to knock the wasp out of the sky and save the caterpillar.

Thank goodness I checked that action and just watched it go by, headed for its huge nest in a cottonwood right alongside the monarch garden.

As I watched the huge wasp nest, I could see other wasps returning with their prizes, so I got out my binocs and sat down at the edge of the monarch garden to watch the show. As I was observing it—the wasps coming and going—a magpie came flying through my field of vision. As I watched, it snatched one of the fully-loaded wasps out of the air.

That’s when I was impressed with the old saying, “There’s no such thing as a ‘free lunch’ in the world of nature.”

Hesitating Buyers?!

Now may be time to get off the fence on the higher end of the price points in the neighborhood, it’s important to then consider the length of ownership. If not trying to do a quick flip it may be justified to pay a higher price for a long-term home that meets all of a family’s needs— especially when considering that real estate has proven to appreciate significantly over time in Central Oregon.

The housing market has rebounded from the crisis in 2008 and has already far surpassed where home prices were before the crash. Even with this pandemic, sales stuttered, but prices continued to climb. This can be directly attributed to the desirability and relative affordability of the area. Bend and the Central Oregon area is on everyone’s radar from all over the country, and there continues to be a surge of new residents relocating to the area with no signs of a slowdown.

Prices may seem high to some, but for those moving from metropolitan areas, this is an affordable price to pay to live in a dreamlike location.

Overall, it’s reasonable to be cautious when buying. Most hesitant buyers are hopeful that home prices will drop and that better deals are ahead—but a smart consideration is, what if home prices continue to climb and interest rates go up? It’s never a good idea to make a hasty decision, so gather all possible information, assess your personal situation and if a purchase is in your near future within the next six months or less, get prepared to make that move sooner than later.

ust as there are a kaleidoscope of people, there are also varying types of homebuyers. Some are decisive, knowing what they want and ready to make an offer as soon as an ideal home comes along. Others need to move in a timely manner due to a new job or to be closer to family and can’t be too picky.

Then you have those perched on the fence waiting, hesitant to move forward even when they identify their perfect home.

The delay in purchasing is caused by multiple factors, such as anxiety over market conditions, or fear of missing out on a “better” property or concerns of over-paying. COVID-19 is adding another layer of worry and uncertainty surrounding the state of the economy and the housing market. These concerns are completely understandable, as this is the largest purchase that most people will ever make, but there are a few big reasons why it’s time to stop waiting for an opportunity that might never come and hop off the fence.

Mortgage interest rates are hovering at record lows, which boosts a person’s buying power. Buyers are often surprised with how much more they can afford due to the lower monthly payments from the lower interest rates.

Home prices continue to escalate every month. Clients are continually being priced out of their desired city or neighborhood due to their hesitation.

No one wants to overpay on a property, but if a home is in an ideal location and checks all of the boxes, but appears to be

I’m a 30-year-old gay man with a new boyfriend. He is a total social butterfly: the kind of person who shows up to a bar on a random Friday night and just happens to know 10 people there.

I, on the other hand, don’t love being super social. It’s not that I’m shy. I just find socializing exhausting. I really like him, and we mostly hang out one-on-one.

However, the times we are with a lot of other people, even when they’re a bunch of his friends, I feel a little overwhelmed. I’m worried he’ll find me boring because of this, and I’d rather know sooner than later if my being a wallflower will be the death of the relationship.

—Introvert There are great parties and introverts’ version of great parties: the ones they arrive at on the wrong day and find a locked, dark house.

What is introversion? Good question, and, annoyingly, one that researchers have yet to agree upon an answer to.

So, best I can generalize from quarrying through the research: Introversion is most correctly summed up as the other end of the spectrum from extroversion, with extroversion as “outgoingness” and introversion as “ingoingness.” In the middle are “ambiverts,” those who, depending on their mood and the situation, are sometimes a social butterfly and sometimes a social bug in amber.

An extrovert thrives on human contact and is motivated to pursue “novelty” (experiences they’ve yet to have) and excitement.

An introvert, on the other hand, is more focused on (and comfortable in) the world in their thoughts than they are in the world of people, loud noises, and buzzing activity.

Introversion gets confused with shyness. But shyness is a psychological problem to overcome -- a fear- and shame-driven reluctance to engage with others -- whereas introversion is merely a preference for quieter, less populous environments. In other words, introverts aren’t dysfunctional.

They’re differently functional.

Extroverts and introverts’ differing social preferences (essentially, “I love a parade!” versus “I love a cave”) seem to result from differences in the ways their brains process “stimulus” and “reward.”

In psychology, a stimulus is something that happens in the environment around a person (like a horn honking or a spider legging it across their pillow) that’s registered by their senses and then their brain, motivating a response.

Cognitive scientist Debra L. Johnson used brain imaging to explore differences in stimulus processing in introverts

and extroverts. In introverts, sensory input – input from their senses -led to increased blood flow in the brain (playing out as their being socked with increased stimulation). In extroverts, the same sensory input led to less overall blood flow, which plays out as less sensitivity to external stimulation, likely leading to a need for more of it.

Input from the senses also takes off down different paths in the brains of introverts and extroverts, “thinky” (in introverts) versus “feely” (in extroverts). For example, in introverts, it led to activity in frontal lobe “higher reasoning” areas used for problem-solving, remembering, and making Amy Alkon plans. In extroverts, rear areas of the brain that process sensory experience (like seeing, watching, and touching) were activated, making an extrovert’s brain optimal for managing environmental stimuli (like from a big raging party) that can lead to sensory overload in an introvert.

Extroverts also get encouragement to be social (in neurochemical form) from increased activity in their brain’s “reward network,” according to research by psychologist Richard Depue, among others. The neurochemical more active in extroverts’ brains is dopamine, which motivates seeking and wanting. It energizes them to pursue social connection, and there’s a memory component, too, like pop-up ads on a browser, reminding them of all the previous awesomeness they experienced while being swarmed by people. (Introvert: I’d rather be swarmed by angry bees.)

Relationships can work between an introvert and extrovert -- like my boyfriend and me. I’m the extrovert. If you’re human and not dead, I want to talk to you. My introvert boyfriend, on the other hand, says things like, “I enjoy interesting conversation, even if it involves talking to people.” I take him to parties when necessary, but I will often leave him home, which leaves him overjoyed.

Explain the science to your boyfriend, along with your fears that he’ll come to long for the sort of partner who swings from the chandelier while throwing back martinis and exchanging witty banter with those below. Sure, he might realize he needs a partner who is his social doppelganger, but he also might tell you he finds your introspectiveness refreshing and even quietly sexy. If so, you could make your relationship work by being mindful of each other’s differing needs and figuring out ways for each of you to get yours met with a minimum of hellish discomfort for the other -- or, as you might put it, “Till party do us death.”

You’ll have an ability to discern half-hidden truths that are invisible to everyone else. You’ll be aggressive in scoping out what most people don’t even want to become aware of. Take advantage of your temporary superpower! Use it to get a lucid grasp of the big picture—and cultivate a more intelligent approach than those who are focused on the small picture and the comfortable delusions.

Langston Hughes (1902–1967) was a pioneering and prolific African American author and activist who wrote in four different genres and was influential in boosting other Black writers. One of his big breaks as a young man came when he was working as a waiter at a banquet featuring the famous poet Vachel Lindsay. Hughes managed to leave three of his poems on Lindsay’s table. The great poet loved them and later lent his clout to boosting Hughes’ career. I suspect you might have an opening like that sometime soon, Aquarius—even if it won’t be quite as literal and hands-on. Be ready to take advantage. Cultivate every connection that may become available.

You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when every exit can indeed be an entrance somewhere else—but only if you believe in that possibility and are alert for it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your meditation for the coming weeks comes to you courtesy of author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau.

“We can never have enough of nature,” he wrote.

“We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets.

We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.” Oh, how I hope you will heed Thoreau’s counsel, Sagittarius. You would really benefit from an extended healing session amidst natural wonders. Give yourself the deep pleasure of exploring what wildness means to you.

She sometimes writes about her experiences there, as in the following passage. “My students tell me, ‘we don’t want to love! We’re tired of being loving!’ And I say to them, if you’re tired of being loving, then you haven’t really been loving, because when you are loving you have more strength.” I wanted you to know her thoughts, Capricorn, because I think you’re in a favorable position to demonstrate how correct she is: to dramatically boost your own strength through the invigorating power of your love.

rence Ferlinghetti is renowned for his buoyancy. In one of his famous lines, he wrote, “I am awaiting, perpetually and forever, a renaissance of wonder.” Here’s what I have to say in response to that thought: Your assignment, as an Aries, is NOT to sit there and wait, perpetually and forever, for a renaissance of wonder.

Rather, it’s your job to embody and actualize and express, perpetually and forever, a renaissance of wonder.

The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time for you to rise to new heights in fulfilling this aspect of your life-long assignment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I live in Northern California on land that once belonged to the indigenous Coast Miwok people. They were animists who believed that soul and sentience animate all animals and plants as well as rocks, rivers, mountains—everything, really. Their food came from hunting and gathering, and they lived in small bands without centralized political authority. According to one of their creation stories, Coyote and Silver Fox made the world by singing and dancing it into existence. Now I invite you to do what I just illustrated: Find out about and celebrate the history of the people and the place where you live.

From an astrological perspective, it’s a favorable time to get in touch with roots and foundations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When I look down, I miss all the good stuff, and when I look up, I just trip over things,” says singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco.

I wonder if she has tried an alternate approach: looking straight ahead. That’s what I advise for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. In other words, adopt a perspective that will enable you to detect regular glimpses of what’s above you and what’s below you—as well as what’s in front of you. In fact, I suggest you avoid all extremes that might distract you from the big picture. The truth will be most available to you if you occupy the middle ground.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Italian word nottivago refers to “night roamers”: people who wander around after dark. Why do they do it? What do they want to accomplish? Maybe their ramblings have the effect of dissolving stuck thoughts that have been plaguing them. Maybe it’s a healing relief to indulge in the luxury of having nowhere in particular to go and nothing in particular to do: to declare their independence from the obsessive drive to get things done. Meandering after sundown may stir up a sense of wild freedom that inspires them to outflank or outgrow their problems. I bring these possibilities to your attention, Cancerian, because the coming days will be an excellent time to try them out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army,” says singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco. I think that goal is within sight for you, Scorpio.

Your power over yourself has been increasing lately. Your ability to manage your own moods and create your own sweet spots and define your own fate is as robust as I have seen it in a while. What do you plan to do with your enhanced dominion?

What special feats might you attempt? Are there any previously impossible accomplishments that may now be possible?

I strongly believe in each person’s ability to discover their full health potential.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “One must think with the body and the soul or not think at all,” wrote Libran author and historian Hannah Arendt. She implied that thinking only with the head may spawn monsters and demons. Mere conceptualization is arid and sterile if not interwoven with the wisdom of the soul and the body’s earthy intuitions. Ideas that are untempered by feelings and physical awareness can produce poor maps of reality.

In accordance with astrological omens, I ask you to meditate on these empowering suggestions. Make sure that as you seek to understand what’s going on, you draw on all your different kinds of intelligence.

Black is Beautiful

Crux Fermentation Project joins 900+ breweries in making a brew that raises funds for police brutality reform

By Heidi Howard Heidi Howard

The Crux version is indeed a beautiful beer, dark red/brown in color and easy drinking.

new brew is making appearances nationwide, and it comes with a mission.

According to blackisbeautiful.beer: “Black is Beautiful is a collaborative effort to raise awareness for injustices people of color face daily and raise funds for police brutality reform and legal defenses for those who have done wrong.

“As much as we want this to be about raising money, the real issue is bringing education and information, which will bring forth change to a system that has fractured so many families and has been broken for decades.

The platform and collaboration is about understanding and supporting people of color and inclusion. We ask that you please stand with us to create something that has never been seen before and show the world the brewing community is one of a kind.”

Over 900 breweries are participating in making the brew, and some of the proceeds will go to local foundations selected by the brewery brewing the beer. This type of collaboration has been done before. Remember “Resilience,” which raised funds after California’s Camp Fire?

Black is Beautiful is a little different, but the spirit of collective action is still there. Unlike Resilience, the Black is Beautiful recipe is optional. Weathered Souls Brewing Co., a craft brewery in San Antonio, Texas, began the push and provided its stout recipe for those

wanting to use it. But while the beers share the same basic label, a design created by KD Designs, they can be whatever dark beer the brewer chooses to brew. I had the opportunity to try Crux’s Black is Beautiful, which supports the NAACP’s 1129 branch.

Crux’s version of Black is Beautiful is a Black IPA (also known as a CDA… let the battle of the beer geeks begin).

Upon smelling this beer, the tempered hop aroma reminds you that you are, in fact drinking an IPA, even though the color is a very dark red/brown. I don’t talk about the visual appeal of a beer often, but folks, this beer really is beautiful. When I poured it out of the can, the head was fluffy and off white.

I couldn’t wait to take a drink.

Flavor-wise, up front, a nice roast.

The sweetness from the malt is tempered by that roastiness. A light botanical flavor is also present. The mouthfeel (for my best friend and avid reader, Sandy) is smooth, with a medium body.

Even with the medium body, this is an easy drinker because the carbonation brightens and lightens up the beer, making it a perfect beer to drink sitting in the back yard in the hot summer sun.

On my drinking scale this beer would rate.... Fagettaboutit... because this beer is for THE cause! Just get out there and try it or go buy it for your friends and family. Together we can make change, one beer at a time! Drink this beer and be reminded of what it is to be united instead of divided.
