On Wednesday morning, as this issue begins to hit stands around Central Oregon, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners was scheduled to hold a public meeting allowing people to weigh in on amendments to the County’s marijuana regulations, which the board voted on back in October. The County issued an official notice of public hearing to The Bulletin a week before that, but gave the rest of the media two days’ notice about Wednesday’s public meeting.

The new rules sought to add further restrictions on an industry that already sees far more regulation than other farm crops, including adding more requirements for controlling odor, restrictions on visible lighting and excluding marijuana production in certain multiple use agricultural zones. The local Farm Bureau even weighed in on the proposed new rules, saying that the Commission exceeded the scope of reasonable regulation and set a dangerous precedent for all agriculture.

Marijuana farms in Deschutes County already have to jump through a number of hoops to stay in compliance—and even when they do demonstrate a willingness to comply, the current Board has a record of denying applications for what appears to be flimsy reasons. In a recent case, the Board denied an application because the prospective grow was adjacent to a property where equestrian lessons were taking place. The rules state that grows cannot be located with a certain distance of a school—but a center where people teach horse skills hardly constitutes a school.

In this landscape, it’s no wonder that a local law firm appealed those changes to the Land Use Board of Appeals in November, soon after the Board’s vote. Following the appeal, the Board opted to hold off on putting its new rules in place, and Commissioners told the media they would

hold a public meeting sometime in the future to address those issues before the issue goes before the state.

“The appeal in front of LUBA, principally, should’ve been done in front of us, your local governing body which has land use authority,” Commissioner Tony DeBone told KBND in March.

We agree that it’s fair to ask local people to weigh in locally before they appeal to the state for help. Giving the wider Central Oregon media two days’ notice about their opportunity to weigh in is within the bounds of Oregon law, but it’s hardly fair. By contrast, on July 1, the same day that Deschutes County issued its notice to us about Wednesday’s hearing, the City of Bend issued a notice of public hearing about a zoning issue, which would take place more than a month from then.

As Deschutes County Commissioner Phil Henderson stated in a release July 1, “We feel that since these decisions that impact Deschutes County residents, the Board wants the first chance at reviewing and developing a complete record before it goes to LUBA.” The Deschutes County Commission has already spent considerable amounts of time and public resources—as in, your money— on attempting to tighten its rules, beyond what even the traditionally conservative Farm Bureau sees as reasonable. It’s only going to cost the public more time and money to bring this battle to LUBA. So, in addition to hearing from a Commission with a record of being openly anti-marijuana, LUBA should also hear resoundingly from the people who support this legal industry and don’t want to see overly restrictive rules put in place.

It’s not yet clear if the Commission will hold more than one meeting on this issue, so if you missed Wednesday’s meeting and you want to be part of that “complete record,” submit your feedback to tanya. saltzman@deschutes.org.

IN RESPONSE TO, “REPUBLICAN SENATORS AWOL…AGAIN,” ON 6/21

Ahhh. Kate Brown leads Democrat legislators on a walkout and it’s “very appropriate.” Republican legislators walk out over a virtue-signaling bill that will have zero effect on global gas emissions (if that’s a good thing and certainly won’t offset emission increases from China and India), all at the expense of rural Oregon. And Boquist is a radical?

RACISM

The United States capitalism system thrives on racism.

Our government officials talk about building trust, community policing, modifying gun laws and occasionally offering platitudes for black victims of police violence such as Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray and Fred Hampton.

The police state is empowered to terrorize and murder people of color with impunity. The police do what the racist system demands: protect and serve people of privilege in a racist society.

Congress writes racist laws and administrative agencies devise racist policies. The criminal justice system provides racist interpretation of laws and the press blinds itself to the racist system, perpetuating myths of white supremacy and black inferiority.

@sourceweekly

Immediate efforts to wage an effective campaign against racism would be to end the racist war on drugs, demilitarize police, arrest killer cops, close privatized prisons, eliminate racist laws, monitor judges and justices on racist decisions, eliminate the bail bond system, remove police from the public school system, create a system of juvenile justice based on real justice for children and implement vote by mail elections with all citizens automatically entitled to vote.

I’m a lifelong Democrat, but Kate Brown and Tina Kotek are anti-democratic zealots and are running roughshod over the Statewide Planning Goal #1 — Citizen Involvement.

Their HB 2001 bill (and others) is a complete power grab that would do away with all single-family neighborhoods in Oregon cities— except subdivisions protected by CC&Rs. The measure flies in the face of all the evidence, and would exacerbate, not help, with housing affordability and climate change. It’s also egregiously inequitable, placing all the burdens on poor and older neighborhoods.

HB 2001 is pure and simple a cloaked giveaway to out-of-area developers who covet land in single-family neighborhoods. I hope the Republican senators stay out until the session ends on Sunday so HB 2001 cannot become law.

Citizens who believe in clean and democratic processes need to vote out both the “Trumpist” Republicans and the “Brown/ Kotek” Democrats.

What a poor example for our Oregon youth.

Not only are our 11 Republicans walking out on a job they are obligated to do, they are opposing action on protecting the Earth for our children and future generations. If they don’t like the bill, they should have come up with their own bill to act on climate change. People have been working on the Clean Energy Jobs Bill for over 10 years. The fact is, they did not and I haven’t heard of any bill they plan to propose in order to take action on climate change.

Unfortunately, those in our district making a living off the land or relying on tourism will be most adversely impacted by climate change.

KNOPP AND RACISM

Thousands of folks in Central Oregon have lost representation in the Oregon Senate because of Senator Tim Knopp’s politically driven, selfish, narrow minded and downright racist attitude. Why racist, you might ask? Because after he can’t use the “bad” for his constituents (donors) HB2020 as an excuse to go back to work for us he still refuses to do so, therefore killing the Equal Access to Roads Act HB2015.

Knopp’s absence will deny drivers licenses to tens of thousands of immigrant Oregonians members of our community that are of age and meet requirements for a standard driver’s license, intentionally creating hardship and obstacles for immigrants and their families, many of them Latinx. Racism, institutionalized racism is just that; when a small group of white senators backed by white armed supporters have used control and power to manipulate our governmental instructions with the intent of further alienating people of color.

As he smiles in interviews, saying he is not going back to work, letting also the Hate Crimes Act die, Knopp shows that he sides with those that dehumanize our immigrant relatives, friends

Tense Legislative Session Comes to an End

Wikimedia Commons

By Chris Miller

N

ine days after Senate Republicans walked away from the Oregon Capitol—many leaving the state—most returned on Saturday to participate in a whirlwind legislative session that ended just six and a half hours before the Oregon Constitution would dictate shutting down the session automatically.

Republicans left the Senate to deny the Democrats a quorum because of their opposition to HB 2020—a cap and trade bill on carbon emissions Republican leaders said would have too large an impact on their rural constituents. The bill died June 25, when Senate President Peter Courtney said there weren’t enough Democratic votes to pass the policy, either.

Senators Betsy Johnson (D-16), Arnie Roblan (D-5) and Laurie Monnes Anderson (D-25) all were set to vote no, according to a story on Oregonlive.

Sen. Tim Knopp, the Republican senator who represents Bend, Redmond, Sunriver and Tumalo, said he returned to Oregon June 25 and worked over the weekend. Knopp said the Senate Republicans left the state as a caucus decision to protest HB 2020 because they felt their concerns were not being heard by the Democrats.

“We thought there was an opportunity, and maybe time just ran out, even before the political protest that lasted nine days,” Knopp said. “But that’s where I think it broke down, because they made

changes to the bill—they just didn’t make any changes to the bill after they said that there was going to be a reset.”

Knopp said Republican Sen. Cliff Bentz tried to negotiate with Gov. Kate Brown the day before the walkout, but to no avail.

“That seemed like we were being dismissed and I think we were being dismissed and we were saying, ‘no, you can’t do that, we’re going to get your attention,” Knopp said. “And this is the only opportunity we have to get your attention—this is our last resort.”

Gov. Brown said in a release on July 1 that the session was one that was extraordinary in terms of making Oregon a place where everyone can thrive.

She also said that the legislature was left with one piece of unfinished business— climate legislation.

“We need to pass a cap and invest program that will achieve the state’s greenhouse gas reduction goals at the least possible cost while continuing growing our economy,” Brown said in the release. “Let me be very clear, I am not backing down.”

Although HB 2020 died, Democrats did see some bills pass that were important to their caucus. HB 2270—which would add a $2 tax to each pack of cigarettes sold in the state—passed in the Senate along party lines, with all Republicans opposed. The bill now heads to Gov.

Bonds Post Mortem

Courtesy Redmond Area Parks & Recreation District

Two school and parks bond measures have failed in Redmond over the past seven months. Now officials are looking at why—and how they can succeed next time

11

O

ver the past seven months, Redmond voters have shot down two separate bond measures that would have funded school and parks infrastructure.

During last November’s election, the Redmond School District put a $70 million bond in front of voters. The bond would have replaced the 54-year-old M.A. Lynch Elementary School, as well as improving safety and security, energy efficiency, technology, heating, plumbing and electrical upgrades around the district’s 13 campuses.

Last winter’s heavy snows wreaked havoc on Lynch’s flat roof, and the district was concerned about a roof collapse.

“The safety and security of these buildings was on everybody’s’ mind,” said Tim Carpenter, Redmond School Board member. The bond would have added roughly $9 per month for homeowners, for a home assessed at $200,000. It lost by 151 votes.

did not. So, per capita, those outlying districts voted more unfavorably than favorably. But they are not the sole reason it failed.”

Voter turnout may have been the bigger factor.

“We know that an age group that would encompass school-age children turned out to vote poorly. Out of the 73% voter turnout, only 25% of them were school-age parents,” said McIntosh.

Other bond measures also appeared on the November 2018 ballot, including one addressing wildfire risk for Crooked River Ranch.

“The conflicting piece was that we knew that the Redmond Parks & Recreation bond and the CRR fire district bonds were on the same ballot,” said McIntosh. “If CRR people had X number of dollars to spend, and I had to choose between a school district and a fire district — I would probably have voted the same way, frankly.”

“In the meantime, we’re doing our best to get by with a shoestring maintenance budget. The unknown, of course, is how long can we milk this before something major happens structurally?”

—Mike McIntosh “Even if we had won by 151 votes, that means that half of the voters would have been unhappy,” said Superintendent Mike McIntosh.

McIntosh believes misconceptions about what the state Legislature funds and doesn’t fund contributed to the failed bond.

“People don’t always understand that, the funding that happens every year to make school happen, is a very different pool of money than the monies we’ve levied to build and repair schools and do extended maintenance. That was very difficult to communicate,” said McIntosh.

An election post-mortem offered other revealing data.

“We looked at the data afterwards and, with a lot of the core Redmond voters, it passed. I don’t want to say handily, but it was definitely a positive voter approval. Some of the outlying areas, however, there were some pockets that we knew about ahead of time that we figured were going to be an issue,” said Carpenter.

“The negative part that’s been published incorrectly is that we lost because of Crooked River Ranch and Jefferson County. I want to dispute that,” said McIntosh. “Redmond city proper voted largely in favor. The north and south of the school district

A failed Parks bond This May, voters also defeated the Redmond Area Parks & Recreation District’s $40 million bond.

RAPRD had hoped to expand and repair the existing Cascade Swim Center, now 40 years old, built when it served a Redmond population of about 6,452.

“Our goal was to build a facility that would complement our existing swimming facility, not replace it,” said Katie Hammer, executive director of RAPRD. The bond would have also replaced another RAPRD sports and art building, this one leased, which is soon to be torn down to make way for transportation improvements.

Also shot down by voters was a fiveyear operating levy for maintenance and repairs of the new and existing pools.

Hammer, like school officials, believes a big reason was key voter apathy.

“People between the ages of 18 and 39 make up 32% of our registered voters for the parks and recreation district,” said Hammer. “They made up 12% of the ballots that were turned in. And that’s the age group that would use the facilities. Basically, people under the age of 40 didn’t vote.”

“It’s baffling to me,” said Hammers.

“When I turned 18, I was super excited

Cascade Swim Center won't get its expantion.

to go to the polling place and vote for the first time. So I just don’t understand why young people are not engaged to vote.”

Like the failed school bond, the recreation bond passed among voters inside Redmond’s city limits. But outside those limits, it failed in every precinct.

May elections traditionally have low voter turnout. Within RAPRD’s district boundary voter turnout was 34% — higher than the county turnout at 24% — but still not enough to tip the scales.

RAPRD officials say many seniors use the present facilities on a daily basis and have expressed a need for warmer pool water and an indoor walking track. “Things we can’t presently offer,” said Hammer.

But seniors, unlike younger residents, did vote in the May election.

“People 60 and older make up 38% of our registered voters and they turned in 64% of the ballots,” said Hammers. “Older voters turned in the majority of ballots, we don’t know how they voted —but we only lost the bond by about 928 votes.”

At both Redmond parks and schools, the need for funding still exists.

“In the meantime, we’re doing our best to get by with a shoestring maintenance budget.

The unknown, of course, is how long can we milk this before something major happens structurally?”said McIntosh.

“We’re one incident away from taking all of our contingency (funds) to deal with a roof collapse, a boiler going down, those high dollar items that are on our deferred maintenance list.”

And if buildings collapsing wasn’t enough incentive to vote yes, McIntosh has another reason.

“We’re not growing (student-wise), we’re flat in enrollment, but we’re still building houses like nobody’s business. People are moving here like never before. I can’t help but believe the schools will see a tidal wave of students hitting our district.”

“We anticipate that the Cascade Swim Center has about 15 to 20 years of useful life — but that will decrease if we continue to operate at the maximum

capacity, which is what we are operating at now,” said Hammer.

“We need to look and evaluate how we put the (next) bond package together,” said school board member Carpenter. “Whether it’s a multiple deal over a two, three, five-year time period or restructuring the bonds as far as what the taxpayer cost per thousand is.”

And then there’s the question of when to go back to voters.

“Seniors suggested that maybe waiting until 2024 when the 2004 (educational) bond ends would decrease their cost per thousand. Good feedback — but the real question, however, is whether we can wait that long,” said McIntosh.

The school district believes that 2020 would be the earliest they’d go out to the voters again.

RAPRD’s board is still in the discussion stage about a new bond and levy.

“Based on recent board discussions the earliest we would go out would be 2021,” Hammer said.

School district officials believe they’ve learned valuable lessons from the bonds they’ve floated over the years—and that they have the internal resources to regroup and try again.

“We’ve got to come up with a plan that touches people who don’t have a direct connect to kids in the buildings.

Explain to them that there are issues that we can’t take out of our normal operating budget,” said Carpenter.

Their future plans will include community forums, town halls, one-on-ones and mass communication to reach those who don’t attend community meetings.

For RAPRD, outside help may be in the cards.

“Going way back, in 2008 we had a failed bond measure for a similar, but larger and more expensive bond ($46 million) on the November ballot, just as the great recession was hitting,” said RAPRD Chairman Hayes McCoy, adding that some board members are in favor of formal marketing, as opposed to grassroots messaging. “I guess the lesson learned from two failed bonds is that we need to refine our message better.”

Judge Says He’ll Rule On Hammonds Grazing Allotments In July

After hours of testimony, a federal judge in Portland extended a temporary restraining order as he considers whether or not to prevent a controversial Harney County ranching family from grazing their cattle on certain parcels of public land in southeast Oregon.

On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon granted the extension to allow for more evidence.

After that, he said he would Photo by Conrad Wilson, OPB rule on whether to not to grant a preliminary injunction, a more permanent decision that would stay in place until the case is resolved.

In May, a trio of environmental groups sued the Bureau of Land Management.

Sources: Rent control law cools investment in apartments

Investment in multifamily housing projects fell substantially in Oregon following passage of the new statewide rent control law by the 2019 Legislature in February.

According to a June 18 article in the rental industry trade journal CoStar, investments in market rate apartment buildings in Oregon totaled $200 million in March, April and May of this year — a 38% drop from the $325 million invested during PMG file photo the same period last year.

Most of the decline came from out-of-state investments, according to the article.

Some developers have been predicting out-of-state investment in multifamily projects will drop because of several relatively new policies that complicate financing them, including statewide rent control and Portland programs intended to help tenants and produce more affordable housing units. —Jim Redden, Portland Tribune

The state’s minimum wage is set to increase by $0.50 today, the fourth of eight annual increases planned until 2023. It’s expected to affect about a quarter of a million people across Oregon.

Depending on where you live, the new wage might be slightly different. For Benton County and other “standard counties,” the minimum wage is rising to $11.25 an hour. In the Portland metro area, it will be Pixabay slightly higher at $12.50 to reflect the higher cost of living, and rural counties will raise wages to $11 an hour.

Some say this growth in wages is still falling behind standards of living. A study published by the Oregon Center for Public Policy shows that all three wage tiers in Oregon still fall short compared to similar areas nationwide. In counties comparable to “standard” counties like Benton, the average hourly minimum wage required to afford a one-bedroom apartment is $15.44, compared to $11.25 right now. —Ian MacRonald, Corvallis Advocate

Move over cattle ranching: This industrious green plant is poised to take the number-two slot in Oregon exports

By Magdalena Bokowa

N

estled between views of the Three Sisters to the west and a rocky outcrop of sage and juniper to the east, tiny green seedlings flutter in the wind as they begin to take root. Will and Moira Burns, newly married—and until recently, hobby alfalfa farmers, squat in their newly planted 10-acre hemp field outside of Redmond, examining the rows of baby plants that will grow upward of 8 feet tall. Moira smooths dust from one of the leaves, her pregnant belly making it difficult to be nimble, while Will checks a drip line for leaks.

“To be blunt,” begins Will—not intending the bad pun, “It’s been one helluva wild rollercoaster to get to this point.” He gestures to the field around us where 20,000 baby hemp plants proudly stand, all 12 inches in height, brought in as seedlings a few weeks before. They were methodically planted with the aid of Will’s grandfather’s tractor, a specialized planting arm borrowed from a fellow hemp farmer and neighbor, six laborers and Will’s father and grandfather—who both live next door and who have been growing alfalfa, hay and cattle for the better part of 60 years.

“We’ve had to invest more money than we had saved for, underestimated how many starts we needed and made a few bad calls last year with our pilot crop. But, we’re devoted to the healing benefits of this plant and want to make this a sustainable business for our growing family,” Will says.

Having had experience as medical marijuana growers in the past led the Burns’ to convince their family members

to try hemp farming on a small plot of their 100-acre+ family land.

“It’s been a few-year process,” says Moira. “First we started with a small greenhouse with 12 plants of cannabis and harvested that for three seasons.

Will’s father was into it from the start, but Will’s grandfather came around more slowly. He complained the neighbors could smell it and was worried what they thought about us.

“Eventually though, I think as legalization came through recreationally and the stigma started to lift, they started asking us more questions about it. I think the turning point was when I gave them some mentholated CBD cream for his back—and he liked it. He kept asking me for more of that ‘hippie cream,” and we laughed, saying, “you know you could grow the stuff to make this hippie cream.”

“It’s cool to be a part of a multi-generational farming effort,” Will adds, “Especially since, how many young farmers can you say are continuing their family farm? It’s been fun to adapt and stay on the land, showing our grandparents we’ll continue their traditions— just in a slightly different way.”

A growing green scene If it seems like Central Oregon has exploded with newly planted hemp fields, it’s not your imagination—and the data supports that observation. In 2015 under a newly established pilot program, there were 13 registered growers of hemp in Oregon, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

Now? There are 1,342 registered growers on 46,219 acres in Oregon alone, and it’s increasingly ballooning, especially as word gets out that hemp can be a promising cash crop.

An ancient plant, hemp and marijuana are the same species of plant—but hemp is generally described as non-intoxicating cannabis, with .03% of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) the psycho-active substance responsible for getting you “high.” Cannabis, bought at a local dispensary, can have upward of 20% THC. “If you’re getting into hemp farming, be prepared for a lot of jokes on getting buzzed,” says Will Burns. “I’ve had to become an educator for everyone from visiting out-of-state relatives to my little 8-year-old cousin. It’s a big misnomer.”

With a reported 50,000 various uses, hemp has been used since the Roman ages as a building material. George Washington grew it for its industrial fiber.

There’s even a 6th Century hemp-mortar bridge in France. Hemp’s thick woody core—the hurd— is a tough fiber used for anything from paper to rope to building materials. Its oilseed, extracted for its anti-inflammatory properties, has exploded in popularity as a medical alternative for pain management. Everything from creams to tinctures to dog food and bath gels have been flooding the market, as are food alternatives such as hemp milk made from hulled seeds or CBD infused non-alcoholic beverages.

It’s becoming commonplace to buy such CBD drinks—local favorites such as Boneyard’s Lemon Ginger CBD

sparkles brightly in a can and tastes just like any other soda. Bendistillery’s Ablis is currently sold in three flavors across 10 states, but with a reported $7.6 million investment, the Tumalo production facility will more than double in size to 20,000 square feet and will release six flavors in cans by the fall.

CBD is everywhere, but in fact, at the federal level to have it in food and drink is still illegal. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act prohibits adding even approved drugs to human (or animal) food in interstate commerce, meaning that Ablis sold in Puerto Rico is technically illegal.

CBD has not been approved federally except in cases to treat extreme forms of epilepsy and none of the products flooding the market have been scientifically proven, prompting scientists and officials to warn Food and Drug Administration officials at a 10-hour, May 31 hearing of the dangers of deceptive marketing.

The FDA, not known to move quickly, has released a series of tweets in recent months aiming to clarify its position.

After its director resigned earlier this year, the FDA released a document June 16, “What You Need to Know And What We’re Working to Find Out” which states, “We are aware that there may be some products on the market that add CBD to food or label CBD as a dietary supplement. Under federal law, it is currently illegal to market CBD this way.” The agency continued that they have “unanswered questions about the science, safety and quality of products containing CBD.”

it.” Their farm—which holds water rights and is at the end of an irrigation canal— already has water-saving drip lines for the crops in an effort to conserve water. They also choose to grow organically.

A public forum is open to submit commentary until July 16—and companies cashing in on the cash cow will continue to do so until regulation is put in place.

The Effect of the Farm Bill The potential for the green plant turning into green cash is one that is catching the attention of everyone around—especially Central Oregon farmers used to growing hardy alfalfa and hay.

Data from New Frontier, an independent cannabis analytics company, suggests that the lucrative payout can be anywhere between $2,500 to $75,000 per acre for CBD extraction-worthy crops.

“There’s a lot of excitement in the farming community, because hemp is seen as a high-return crop,” says Eric Steenstra, president of VoteHemp, a nonprofit hemp farming advocacy organization. “There are many farmers around the country who are struggling to make ends meet, and they’re looking for an alternative like hemp to boost revenue.” According to VoteHemp, high-quality hemp sold for CBD extraction can garner between $35-40 per pound. The Burns family said they averaged about $45 per pound last year.

The Burns’ are some of the many Central Oregon farmers taking advantage of changes that happened with the passage of Congress’ 2018 Farm Bill— which removed industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act. The bill classed hemp as an agricultural commodity, achieving something marijuana—the type that gets people high—has yet to do: become federally legal. Marijuana remains classed as a Schedule 1 drug— putting it on par with heroin and Ecstasy, which the Drug Enforcement Administration sees as having “no medical benefit” and “high potential for abuse.”

With hemp, Oregon farmers had a head start in getting it to market. Oregon has had a hemp program in place since 2015. According to Oregon State University’s Crop and Soil Science Department, Oregon hemp will soon beat out the current number-two ranking commodity— cattle ranching—which yielded nearly

$820 million in 2017 alone. Oregon is expected to net more than $1 billion in sales of hemp, and the entire U.S industry is projected to hit $22 billion by 2020, according to New Frontier Data, which collects data on the emerging field.

Deschutes County itself is the third-largest industrial hemp-growing county in the state, according to ODA, with over 75 industrial hemp farms registered in the county. It follows only Jackson and Josephine counties in production. Jackson County leads the way, with 139 registered hemp farms.

If this season’s harvest goes well, the Burns’ say they may pivot completely away from cattle farming. “The energy it takes, the water needed, not to mention the methane, to produce cattle doesn’t really make it sustainable,” says Moira Burns. “I’d personally like to at least reduce the number over time, if not stop

Industrial hemp has become a fast growing crop in Oregon and around the U.S.

A Hemp Innovation Center Though hardy and weed-like in its ability to resist temperature changes and occasional drought, hemp can be tough to grow—well. Many new farmers are struggling to figure out the best methods to get the highest yielding CBD levels without crossing over the 0.03 THC threshold. It’s a delicate balance. OSU is trying to foster more hemp research, including opening the Global Hemp Innovation Center in mid-June, aimed at helping growers navigate the growing market of hemp products.

“We want to understand how to efficiently and sustainably grow hemp for seeds, for hemp fiber materials that can be used in textiles and construction materials, including as an alternative to gravel in concrete, for hemp essential oils that have popular health and wellness uses, and for hemp grain for use in food and feed,” says Jay Noller, a professor of crop and soil science at OSU, and the new center’s director and lead researcher. Though the center has been well received, there’s still a lot of work to be done in navigating this tricky crop.

Examples include making sure that plants don’t produce levels of THC that are too high, since those “hot crops” effectively turn into marijuana crops and technically have to be destroyed. THC crops fall under a whole other set of regulations, controlled by either the Oregon Liquor Control Commission or the Oregon Health Authority, and grows are subject to approval or denial by local authorities. In

Deschutes County, a decidedly anti-marijuana Board of Commissioners has denied a number of marijuana grow and dispensary applications this year—even ones where the applicants complied with all known local and state regulations.

With hemp as well as marijuana, farmers often can’t tell a crop’s THC level until months into the growing process, so a program that could certify seeds would be a big help.

“Seeds aren’t cheap,” says Will Burns, who, worried about quality, opted for genetically verified female seedlings instead. New Frontier says the average seed price is between $1-2 per seed. Hemp farming is also extremely labor intensive, as the Burns’ found out when their two-day planting window stretched to 11 days. Industry specific machinery is just evolving and many farmers are coming up with their own systems to help speed along the process.

Many farms still rely solely on manual labor to plant, cut down the stalks and to remove invasive weeds. There isn’t a standard yet—though ODA officials hope to have growing standards in place

by August of this year.

Even though the Burns’ sought advice from their neighbors and extensively researched farming techniques online, it was still a challenge. “You can spend a lot of money just on labor,” they said. Last year, the hemp they grew for CBD didn’t turn out like what they were hoping for in terms of quality. They also had an issue with the extraction processing center, which they said tainted some of their CBD. “It was a…” Moira pauses, “Yeah, it was a total failure, I’d say. But, we learned so much and thankfully have the support of our family to try again.”

Pain relief—but textiles, too Though CBD is a hot commodity, the textile market is also promising. Down the road from the Burns farm, Evan Long is growing 200 acres of hemp purely for textile production. He grows it like any other crop, via an agronomic method which is both cheap and carries less risk. Depending on how this year goes, he hopes to expand to nearly 2,000 acres next year and is investing in a local processing facility.

“It’s important to take a longer-term picture of the hemp market,” says Steenstra of VoteHemp. “Right now, CBD is the hot commodity and is a significant driver of the market and profit for farmers. But as an agricultural crop, hemp has significant market potential for grain and fiber.”

Farmers often look for strategic partnerships with other farmers and landowners to boost their production

capabilities, such as the Burns’, who share labor and tools with neighbors.

But those relationships can quickly go sour if solid contracts aren’t formed.

Recently, three Oregon farms became immersed in litigation over production agreements after the 2018 season. Big Bush Farms alleges it taught three farm operators “best hemp farming practices” and entered into written agreements with the farms to plant, grow, dry and harvest plants—though they allege they failed to see over 222,928 pounds of dried biomass according to a May 29 article from Hemp Industry Daily. The three lawsuits amount to over $395 million in damages. Law firms specializing in cannabis litigation, such as the Canna Law Blog, repeatedly warn of future litigation, as more partnerships are made without due diligence.

Still, those devoted to the plant encompass the Wild-West mentality and say they are in it for the long haul.

“CBD is definitely popular,” say Will and Moira Burns. “Our advice to other farmers is, learn as much as you can about it, keep it small and manageable and, well, enter at your own risk.”

By Morgan Susser

Former Bend resident Meekoh returns for an intimate show, but everyone's invited.

and without that much money? Then it kind of hit me—I don’t really need to put all the clicks and whistles in that the industry makes you feel like you need to do. Like crazy bass, electronics and things that make a song sound “cool”—that was my finger quotes you can’t see—so that it makes the radio or impresses an A&R or something. People have been asking me for years—especially back in Bend— when I played in Bend, everyone was like "Play your acoustic stuff!" because I started trying to play over tracks and it never really felt authentic to me. It was about a year ago or so that I was pretty sure going back to the roots of it all is what feels best.

SW: I know you said you don’t get to come back to Bend that much, so are you excited for the Brasada show?

MM: Yeah! Brasada is just one of those really magical spots. I usually

don’t even tell people that I’m playing there a lot. I just like my family and close friends to come out and spend time with me when I perform, so it’s very intimate.

It’s a good excuse for me to come home and it pays for my trip, I get to see my family, play a little music and that’s why I love that spot. They do a really good job of taking care of their artists.

Later this year Meekoh plans to head out on tour after the “Sun” and “Moon” projects’ release. Until then, don’t miss the chance to catch him back in Central Oregon this week.

Source Weekly: How long have you been playing music?

Meekoh Martinez: I started playing professionally in 2009. That’s when I first started booking gigs, touring and getting paid to play. I quit my job—actually, the last job I had was at Greg’s Grill down in the Old Mill, which was awesome. I had the best boss. His name was John. I remember I went in and I was like ‘Hey man, I feel really, really bad and super scared to tell you this but I kind of want to put in my two weeks because I want to pursue music and go to L.A. someday,’ and he was just so cool.

SW: Right now you’re working on the “Sun” and “Moon” projects. What was it like to meet your goal through Kickstarter for those?

MM: So, the Kickstarter for me—I’ve done a few Kickstarters and PledgeMusics, and it’s not about the money. As you know, I didn’t raise a lot and it costs a lot of money to make an album. For me it was like, if I can get in a little money to help out with some of the process of mixing and mastering, then every bit helps. The main thing was being able to connect with people again. You know I haven’t been playing shows and I haven’t been sharing my music a lot. I went pretty dark and just tried to figure out what makes me happy.

SW: Tell me a bit about the concepts of the project.

MM: I realized I don’t really have a specific sound. It’s more so the emotion and the vibe. So the “Sun” represents more happy music–more nature chords, that just kind of resonate in your soul.

Music that just feels really good to nod your head and tap your feet to. And then the “Moon” side was a little bit of the darker stuff where I can be a little more real with my emotions and my feelings.

Especially lyrically. I don’t care as much what people think. I just say exactly what I’m feeling in a lot of those songs.

Out here in L.A., something you realize pretty quick is that everyone is just trying to get the next “thing.” What’s the next big song, what’s the next big sound. A lot of people just start copying what’s on the radio. This for me is gonna be as far from that as I can do.

SW: How did you decide to do more of an acoustic work?

MM: One of the things was financially, at first. How can I make this many songs

On two separate occasions during interviews this year, artists have mentioned their time there as a critical influence for their latest projects. If you’re looking to get close to that feeling without actually being in New Orleans, then a performance from Troy Andrews and company might be the closest you’ll get.

The man they call Trombone Shorty has been making music since he was literally a toddler. Since those early days, Andrews has become a well-known musician, multi-instrumentalist, producer, rapper and actor. He’s really an artist in every sense of the word.

Learn more about the Grammy-nominated artist before he and the crew from Orleans Avenue arrive in Bend with this Artist Fact Sheet.

For the past ten years, Brett Dennen – with his poet’s perspective, off-kilter vocals, insane sense of humor, and limitless musical freedom – has turned dancing like no one’s watching into a lifestyle.

CUTMEN

AUG

01

In 1974 when Bob Marley went solo, on the brink of international stardom, he surprised the music community by choosing as his lead guitarist the American-born Al Anderson. It was Anderson’s stunning lead work on such classics as No Woman, No Cry, and Three O’Clock Road Block that first alerted rock fans to The Wailers music. The Original Wailers received a Grammy nomination in 2013 for their album ‘Miracle’, making it Anderson’s second Grammy nomination. The Original Wailers also include Chet Samuel (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Omar Lopez (Bass Guitar), Howard Smith (Drums), and Noel Aiken (Keyboards/Organ).

Supersuckers have recorded with many artists including Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Kelley Deal of The Breeders, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. They have appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno backing Willie Nelson .

CASH’D OUT with Special Guest DIVE

BAR THEOLOGY

AUG

15

Some people are impressionists. These guys leave an impression”, says Bill Miller, owner of Johnny Cash.com about Cash’d Out (Douglas Benson vocals, George Bernardo drums, John Heussenstamm guitar, Nate Lefranchi bass), a San Diego based band that channels Johnny Cash in about as close a manner to the real thing as it gets.

After thirteen years, traveling hundreds of thousands of miles on the road and winning over as many fans, fans still continually tell the group how grateful they are that Cash’d Out so righteously carries the torch of the Johnny Cash Show. munchandmusic.com / July 11 - August 15, 2018

WALK Foot Power Improves Health!

Walking is the most inexpensive way to commute. It requires no special equipment and helps you get healthy.

6

In partnership with Commute Options, this year we are encouraging our attendees to walk, bike or carpool to Munch and Music. We are also thrilled to be able to provide bike racks this year!

Most Americans do not get enough exercise: “Despite common knowledge that exercise is healthy, more than 60% of American adults are not regularly active, and 25% of the adult population are not active at all” (CDC 1996).

We are incredibly lucky to have Drake Park as our Munch and Music venue. It is a beautiful location central to Bend, allowing our attendees to avoid driving to the event. Not only does this mean saving the planet, but it means staying active and improving health, gorgeous riverside views on your commute, less worry when enjoying an alcoholic beverage, and keeping Bend beautiful and clean! Here are some ways to reduce your impact on the city and make the most of your evening at Munch and Music.

Biking to Munch and Music can be your exercise and commuting option in one. Besides the health and environmental benefits, biking is simply exhilarating. Get to the event ready to dance the evening away!

July 11 - August 15, 2018 / munchandmusic.com

Walking for transportation is a great way to get exercise back into your day.

BIKE We are excited to be able to provide bike racks this year!

Find a bike buddy, plan your route, check your safety gear and you’ll be ready to go.

CARPOOL Share the Ride!

Carpooling is an easy way to save time and money. Besides, riding with a friend is more fun! You can start your own carpool or join an existing one. It’s easy!

Consider these benefits: Improve our community by reducing traffic congestion and air pollution.

Save on parking fees.

Reduce wear and tear on your vehicle.

Relax and enjoy the ride when it’s your turn to be the passenger. *Visit munchandmusic.com for additional commute and parking information.

Shadowlands: Fear and Freedom at the Oregon Standoff

by Anthony McCann An insider account of the Malheur occupation.

From the lead-up to the occupation, through the trials and the aftermath, this will be the defining chronicle of a cultural and political moment we could all do better to understand.

City of Girls

by Elizabeth GIlbert 89-year-old Vivian looks back on her time in 1940s New York, a time filled with style, decadence, and sexual promiscuity. Based on early sales, this may be the big hit of Summer ’19.

This Land: How Cowboys, Capitalism, and Corruption are Ruining the American West

by Christopher Ketcham Part Edward Abbey, part Upton Sinclair, Ketcham exposes the corruption that is destroying the public lands of the West, our public lands.

Equal parts fascinating and infuriating, this should be required reading for anyone who cares about the open spaces in our own backyard.

Wanderers

by Chuck Wendig Maybe my favorite read of the season. "Wanderers" reminds me of the books I loved to read years ago for all the right reasons: Mainly pure, unadulterated, page-turning fun. Mash up ideas from “The Stand,” “The Hot Zone,” and every classic Crichton thriller and you get “Wanderers.” It’s every bit as good as those classics, but Wendig has created a (terrifying) world solely his own.

Underland: A Deep Time Journey

by Robert MacFarlane The Guardian called him, “the king of the new nature writers,” and after reading this, I would agree. MacFarlane explores the mysterious worlds beneath our feet: Bronze Age burial chambers, Arctic sea caves, the catacombs of Paris, a dark matter research lab and the viruses and gases we’ve unleashed—it’s all here in its strange wonder and claustrophobic glory.

A Community for Makers

Saturday Market in Redmond offers pop-up storefronts for crafters and entrepreneurs

51

By Keely Damara Keely Damara

Central Oregon Buy, Sell and Trade Facebook group about looking for vendors, it was clear there was a lot of interest.

“The first day I got four people calling, sending me messages. The next day there were 15 and I’m like, wow, there’s really people that want to do this,” said Robertson. “It was just kind of a little thought and then, all of a sudden, all these people are interested and wanting to do something here in Redmond.”

The Redmond Saturday Market is unique in that it doesn't require vendors to sign on for the whole season. Vendors can pick and choose their weekends, making it possible for homemakers and side-hustlers with other responsibilities to be able to participate.

Jessica Warwick, who has a 17-monthold daughter, says the flexibility of the market schedule allowed her to rent booth space at last weekend’s market selling macramé plant hangers. This was her first community market appearance, as she sells most of her Journey Mountain Design products through Etsy.com.

Jessica Warwick launched her business, Journey Mountain Designs, from home as a side gig to support staying at home with her 17-month-old daughter.

Redmond local Sandi Britz regularly sells her beads and jewelry at the Saturday Market in Redmond.

“I just started recently as kind of a side gig to support my stay-at-home mom life,” said Warwick. “I was the youth programs director at Bend Rock Gym and then quit that so I could spend more time with my daughter.”

She’s had a lot of help starting her business, she said, from friends helping her design a company logo and taking professional photographs of her products, to family and community members buying her handcrafted items.

“I think it’s been fun to see my friends and family come together, along with the community,” said Warwick. “It’s not as hard as I thought it would be.”

Sandi Britz, a Redmond local who used to own Britz Beads in downtown Redmond, has been selling her beads and jewelry on Etsy after closing her shop six years ago. She just started selling her jewelry at the Saturday Market this summer.

“I was just selling on Etsy and staying home, and I realized that I should be getting out of the house,” said Britz,

The Robertsons are also hands-on and make themselves available to the vendors during the event, she said, which she really appreciates—and isn’t always the case with other markets she has been a part of in the past.

As of now, the market can fit up to 22 vendors—which Robertson hasn’t had any trouble filling with a wide variety of businesses. She’s also considering incorporating produce in the fall, after area farmers markets close, giving local farmers a place to sell their autumn produce.

Meanwhile, the Individual Artist Fellowship of $3,000, awarded to high-achieving professional artists who demonstrate a commitment to continuing their work, is due Oct. 15.

But it’s the first week of July, you say.

True, but that doesn’t mean you have a moment to waste. You definitely missed the Hallie Ford Fellowship deadline— that was back in February. That prestigious holy grail of grants for individual Oregon artists is the Hallie Ford Foundation that just announced its 2019 winners of $25,000 each: Corey Arnold, James Lavadour, Niraja Cheryl Lorenz, Jess Perlitz and Sharita Towne. Putting a grant application together takes time.

to do every step of the way and many even offer application support to grant seekers—but it does require the gathering of a lot of information, some leg work, a good deal of writing, and if you’re like most people, a lot of hemming and hawing. It’s true that not every artist receives these grants, but

every artist benefits from knowing those deadlines and seeing what getting that money requires.

n any given Saturday, you can find Susan Robertson bustling from booth to booth with her clipboard, making sure vendors in her pop-up market next to General Duffy’s Waterhole have what they need.

Her husband, Dick Robertson, describes her as the camp counselor of the Saturday Market—hands-on and always helping.

The Saturday Market kicked off shortly after the Robertsons opened General Duffy’s Waterhole food cart lot in March.

“For us, Saturday Markets are a really fun day,” said Susan Robertson. “It pulls all these people into our neighborhood— and they can grab a beer and go out and walk through the market and then come and have lunch at one of our food trucks.”

Robertson, a soon-to-be-retired registered nurse at St. Charles, saw a need in the Redmond community for a weekend market for local crafters and small business owners who didn’t have storefronts.

The Robertsons had the space—and it seemed like the perfect way to bring people into the neighborhood while benefiting the community. After posting on the

Birds, Bees and Wildflowers—Oh My!

The 30th Central Oregon Wildflower Show is coming to the Sunriver Nature Center this weekend

By Chris Miller

catch-and-release bee walks. That’s all in addition to seeing the hundreds of native wildflowers traditionally on display at the show.

Honey in Oregon comes from the Chris Miller

A European honeybee covers itself in pollen from a wildflower.

European honeybee, which was brought by European settlers to the U.S. in the 1620s, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Prized for honey production, the bees have large, perennial colonies that can easily be transported, and they can pollinate many different crops. For that reason, they’re the most widely used pollinator in the world, according to the ODA. Inside the Sunriver Nature Center, visitors can also see a working hive. The queen is distinguished by a small, green dot on her back. Accamando said the hive is active year round—and even survived the past winter when snow covered the outlet pipe.

“The European honeybee is one of the few insects that stays active all winter long, and that’s why they build the honey,” Accamando said.

Although honeybees get most of the attention—except for maybe yellow jackets, which Accamando believes give bees a bad name—there are about 4,000 species of native bees in the U.S. In Oregon, there are many different species of bumblebees— big, furry bees that often have a yellow head and black body. Most native bees in Oregon are solitary, meaning only a single female builds the nest—often in the ground— and lays eggs. Accamando said most of the native bees hibernate in the winter—both adults and larvae—and come out in the following spring when the weather warms.

Accamando and I walked a bare section of dirt next to the Nature Center, looking for tiny holes in the ground where a female bee would be working on a nest. We spotted one and got to

observe a small bee digging furiously at the dirt, making a hole about the size of a pencil eraser while digging out its nest.

Accamando said she’s been stung by bees, but she’s trying to educate people on bee behavior.

“Everybody’s had a run-in with bees,” Accamando said. “And we try to get people to better understand why bees are doing that—you know, the ecology and the evolutionary advantage of stinging and protecting your queen, and why that’s evolved that way, so we try to provide context for it.”

The one-day event, that partners with the High Desert Chapter of the Native Plant Society, will still have wildflower displays, flowers for sale and children’s activities, like in prior years—in addition to the pollinator-centric events. Cost of the event is $10 for adults and $5 for kids age 4 to 12.

The admission fee will allow visitors access to all of the Nature Center—where people can see raptors, swans, a golden eagle and reptiles—as well as the Observatory.

“We’re really excited to celebrate this garden because our owls and snakes often get the attention, so it’ll be really nice to celebrate the bees and the flowers,” Accamando said.

n July 6, the Sunriver Nature Center will host the 30th Central Oregon Wildflower Show—but this time, the focus is not just on the flowers, but also on the pollinators that help them along.

Amanda Accamando, Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory nature center manager, says this is the first year the show will feature pollinators—the bees and hummingbirds that help spread pollen from flower to flower. Accamando, who’s been with the nonprofit for the past two years, said her degree in plant-insect interactions is partially why pollinators are now part of the event.

“The wildflower show has just been the wildflower show, and it really didn’t make sense—especially for me—to talk about wildflowers without talking about the pollinators,” Accamando said.

Accamando said she started keeping bees when she lived in Denver, Colorado Her interest in apiaries carried over when she moved to Central Oregon.

Accamando now keeps hives at a small farm in Redmond.

This year, attendees of the festival can do botanic garden walks where they can watch hummingbirds feeding on wildflowers and taste local honey. Accamando said the show will also feature beekeeping demonstrations, and people can even participate in

The Sweet Life Starts Early LITTLE BITES

A day with pastry chef Nickol Hayden-Cady

Ban Tat

By Lisa Sipe 55

Tambi Lane Photography

After months of waiting (somewhat) patiently, Miyagi Ramen is now open at the Box Factory in Old Bend.

On July 1, the restaurant masterminds behind the Bos Taurus steakhouse opened their doors to the public. That followed weeks of teasing ramen lovers with tantalizing kitchen test photos via Instagram.

The menu is small, but packs a punch, with four carefully crafted ramen bowls (with one vegan option), as well as a “Not Ramen” side section and a few kids options for “Little Ninjas.” Regular hours should be set by next week, but for opening week they’ll be serving up noodles in the afternoon from 11am-2:30pm and then in the evening from 5pm until they run out of food.

Miyagi Ramen

550 SW Industrial Way #102, Bend 541-797-7700 Miyagiramen.com With her son, Forest, in a sling, Nickol Hayden-Cady harvests goodies from her garden.

A

s she takes a sip of a cereal milk latte, mermaid blue-haired Nickol Hayden-Cady, pastry chef and owner of Foxtail Bakeshop & Kitchen, describes her work flow.

“I get up at 1:45 am and comb my hair and brush my teeth and start at 2 am,” she says.

Hayden-Cady already had a successful pastry business before opening Foxtail in the Box Factory last year.

“I wanted to be a working owner, that’s what I set it up for. I like the nitty-gritty of every day.”

- Nickol Hayden-Cady After seeing a photo of Hayden-Cady picking purple and yellow pansies from her backyard garden for the bakery, son Forest nestled in a sling, I wanted to know what a day in her life was like, so she let me follow her around.

“Thursday is my bake time,” HaydenCady said. “I don’t want to let that go because I like to do every job at my shop one day a week.”

Once everything is egg-washed, baked, decorated and put in the front case or boxes, Hayden-Cady makes herself a cup of coffee with collagen, MCT oil and cinnamon. It’s 6 am by then, and after working alone for hours, her staff starts to arrive.

“We prep for the day,” Hayden-Cady continues, “Either we talk about what

we’re going to make for the week or specialty orders. This week we’ll discuss the new ice cream project. It’s called Treats from the Den. We’ll be doing high-end ice cream—not scooped, but to-go ice cream sandwiches, cones dipped in chocolate. One is called the rainbow bright ice cream sandwich. It’ll be a cart outside.”

Hayden-Cadey flips through photos on her phone until she finds the mockup of the project— a colorful rolling cart with a hand-painted fox and flowers on the body, topped with a bright fabric umbrella. She expects to launch the cart in July.

When the staff arrives, five and a half hours after her arrival, she also uses the time before opening to pump up the staff.

“I want them to be ready, know what’s up and put good vibes in our food,” Hayden-Cady said. “We want people to leave happy.”

The doors open at 8. Hayden-Cady weaves through, talking to customers, ordering or doing production until she goes home between 4:30 and 5 pm.

At home she returns emails and makes dinner with her older son, Jasper, who’s almost 7. “Once we’re done, we all sit down as a family to eat,” Hayden-Cady said. “We eat outside in the garden. Jasper plays; I get to hang out with Forest.”

Her youngest son is a little over a year old, just two weeks older than the shop.

He plays in the dirt while Hayden-Cady cleans spinach and tends her garden.

“I pick pansies every other day for the shop,” she muses.

The backyard garden has a lot of herbs, but it’s mostly edible flowers: pansies, nasturtiums, bachelor buttons, calendula and roses. She also grows vegetables for the kids. Twelve varieties of berry bushes surround the garden, and on this night Hayden-Cady checks on her Italian bees to make sure they’re doing well. Forest helps her get eggs from their 10 chickens.

When the kids are ready for bed, Hayden-Cady reads to them.

“We’re reading a fairy book right now,” she said.

After reading she relaxes with her husband, Joshua. They clean the kitchen together, listening to Bon Iver and the new Little Wings album on their vinyl player.

“I go to bed at 9 pm,” said HaydenCady, “I meditate every night before bed. Then I do it again.”

On Saturdays in the summer, at the height of wedding season, Hayden-Cady starts at 1 am. She makes every wedding cake herself and personally drops them off to each client. Saturdays typically end at 10 pm.

The chef life demands long days and dedication, but Hayden-Cady has a strong support system. Her husband is a special needs teacher and works from home. Her parents help out and her mom works at the restaurant and does the books.

“I wanted to be a working owner,” said Hayden-Cady. “That’s what I set it up for. I like the nitty-gritty of every day. I like scrubbing the mixer. There are things we do that give us pride.”

Taps & Food Carts for Bunk+Brew

The Bunk+Brew hostel, an affordable lodging option housed in the Historic Lucas House in downtown Bend, is expanding. In addition to building an outdoor bath house (complete with sauna), co-owners J. Charles Griggs and Frankie Maduzia are also in the process of applying for permits to allow food carts on the property—and are already greenlighted to add a beer garden.

The owners are in talks with a handful of local food trucks interested in setting up shop at the hostel, but nothing’s in writing just yet.

The plan is to launch with two food carts by mid-July, and if they’re successful, use the remainder of the newly acquired lot next door to expand into a full-blown food cart pod.

A La Pine Food Cart Lot

A new food cart pod is coming to Morrison Street in La Pine. Owner Denny Morgan says he’s developing the lot in two phases. For now, there’s space for two food carts, but the second phase will make room for more restaurants, and Morgan has plans to convert an old log cabin on the property into a taproom. So far, Morgan has ACME Hotdogs lined up for the Fourth of July, and is currently seeking out other food carts to join his community. Food cart operators interested in learning more about the food cart pod can call Morgan for more information.

the Lime, Smell the Roses CHOW Taste A refreshing drink for summer entertaining—before or after July 4

By Ari LeVaux, Flash in the Pan de coco, Villafane’s blender technique can be used in the making of other limey dishes, too, from marinades to sauces to other drinks. It works on lemons, too. Lemons can be blended (without the seeds) all the way into a zesty, versatile foam that improves lemonade, lemon bars and everything in between.

But lime is too potent for that. Its flavor is more complex than a lemon’s. The two fruits are similarly acidic, but a lemon’s acid comes exclusively from citric acid, while a lime contains a cocktail of acids, including, citric, malic and succinic acids. Limes also contain bitter notes, absent from lemon. A lime is like a tangled jungle of acids and bitters, while a lemon is just a simple, bright sunbeam.

Villafante’s limonada de coco has made me some new friends. As I’ve tweaked the recipe, volunteer tasters haven’t been hard to find. During my research, some of my co-vacationers determined that limonada de coco makes a good base for a modified Moscow Mule. I took my drink in a different direction, adding strawberries and rose petals and sometimes a shot of gin.

The flavors in my rosy, strawberry limonada de coco drink work together seamlessly.

The result is complex, yet smooth; sweet, bitter, and totally quenching.

This recipe depends not only on the blender lime technique but also a rose petal trick, researched with petals from the salt air roses that grow wild in my summer hideaway, and confirmed with unsprayed landscape roses. Like the blender technique, the rose trick is broadly applicable.

You don’t consume the rose petals, but smell them as you eat or drink your way around them. Their sweet fragrance tricks your tastebuds into thinking the drink is

Ari LeVaux

Did you know you don't have to use a juice squeezer to juice limes. Behold, the blender trick.

sweeter than it is, while drawing out the floral notes of the strawberries.

The perfumey feeling the petals add to the drink would be tarnished if you actually chewed a petal and tasted its soapy, astringent flavor. Instead, smell the roses and taste the fruit. It’s summer, after all.

Stop and Smell the Roses This recipe is broken into two parts. The first part is for a classic limonada de coco, followed by my modified, rosy strawberry version.

Remember not to add the ice until the end, otherwise the coconut milk will congeal unpleasantly. On that note, canned coconut milk is preferable. When Villafante taught me how to make other coconut-based foods, he made fresh coconut milk, but he maintains that for this drink, canned is best.

Serves 2 2 limes, cut into quarters (or halves, if your blender is good) ½ cup water

2 Tablespoons sugar (or to taste) ½ can coconut milk Handful of strawberries Ice Rose petals, rinsed Blend the lime and water until it’s somewhere between chopped and a slurry, with large chunks that are recognizably limebased, about 3 to 10 seconds. Pour through a strainer, squeezing the remains to get all the juice. Pour the lime extract back in the blender, add the coconut milk and sugar, and blend. You now have a classic limonada de coco, a la Jairo Villafane.

To make it a Coconut Rose, add strawberries and blend again. Toss the rose petals with the ice and put some rosy cubes in a glass.

Add gin if desired.

Pour the pink frothy drink over the rosy ice, and garnish with more petals.

You are now clear to smell the roses and quench your thirst, all in a single sip.

ummer in the Mountain West doesn’t reliably start until July 4.

Then, the scramble begins in earnest to squeeze as much joy from the long hot days as we can.

Lime is available all year but is never more in season than summer. Hot times mean an increase in the need for thirst management, a task for which limes are exceptionally qualified.

The inhabitants of the Caribbean coast of Colombia aren’t strangers to limes, thirst, or some quenching places where the two intersect. In a kitchen in Santa Marta, I had a lesson in how to make a cool, frothy beverage called limonada de coco. A mix of coconut milk, lime and sugar, there isn’t usually a lot to it. But in teaching me his special method, my teacher, chef Jairo Villafane, taught me a trick that changed my lime game for good.

I have not seen or heard of this technique anywhere else, including the countless recipes for limonada de coco I’ve read.

Villafane comes from a long line of great cooks, all of them women, and has cooked in several prestigious Santa Marta restaurants. In his small home kitchen, he washed six limes and cut them in half. I assumed he would juice them with a handheld lime squeezer, an ubiquitous tool in the region. Instead, he put the lime halves in a blender, covered them with water, and blended them briefly until the lime was thoroughly worked, but still composed of recognizable bits of peel, pulp and pith. He then poured the chunks through a strainer and squeezed on the remains to get as much juice out as possible.

Every other recipe for limonada de coco uses plain lime juice—a waste of both time and lime once you know Villafane’s trick. His method yields more lime flavor per lime, and quickly. Beyond the limonada

At White Water Taphouse

By Heidi Howard

y most recent trip to White Water Taphouse had me smiling ear to ear. I walked in the door and made a beeline to the beer board (electronic) to pick my Monday beer, like I do nearly every Monday. The first beer I see is Rainbows and Unicorns from Breakside Brewery. First, I absolutely love Breakside Brewery beers out of Portland. They never disappoint.

Second, the beer is called RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS!! I didn’t need to see anything else. I walk up to the bar and ask Nick to fill my mug without hesitation.

Rainbows and Unicorns is a session IPA. Session beers are all about limiting the ABV, or alcohol content. They typically stay within the ABV (alcohol by volume) range of 3-5%. This will usually make them extremely drinkable, and this beer kept me smiling until the last drop. The beer is listed at 5.1%.

It’s not a new beer to Breakside; they’ve been brewing it since 2014.

I love it so much! Visually, it pours so beautifully, with a cloud-like head (so fitting), a bright golden color that almost glows (also fitting) and it’s so very clear. Check out that mug! So cool. It’s a perk of being a Mug of the Month member at White Water Taphouse.

When I brought Rainbows and Unicorns up to take a drink, the aroma was very delicate. A light

grassiness, with a light touch of fresh fruit. When you really search the aroma, you can pick up a faint piney note. I took a drink and immediately enjoyed the carbonation, all the bubbles… yes please! Now I’m really smiling!

Everything about this beer makes me want to use the word “kiss” as a descriptor (I have an anniversary coming up, so no wonder that’s where my mind goes). This beer is lightly kissed with a sweetness of fruit, followed by a kiss of piney and grassy hopaliciousness. All the flavors come together in the finish like a wonderful melody.

It’s crazy how well balanced this beer is, but that should be expected from such a high-quality brewery like Breakside.

On my drinkability scale, this beer gets a solid 5. Its lighter ABV and subtle flavors make it very drinkable for everyone. I recommend you head down to White Water Taphouse and grab a pint before that keg blows. You won’t be disappointed. And if you get there and it’s gone, you still won’t be disappointed. White Water always has a great selection of beer from which to choose. Cheers!

SCREEN May the Source Be With You July Edition

By Jared Rasic

In Pod We Trust: I talk about this a lot, but even I’m starting to get stressed out by the sheer staggering number of podcasts out there to choose from. I record a podcast once a week in The Last Blockbuster, in

the horror movie section, and people walk by and look at us recording like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

Every week I could recommend 10 new podcasts I like all year long and never repeat myself.

Since we’re halfway through the year, I’m gonna mention some of my favorite podcasts of 2019 so far. Some I’ve already talked about a little.

If you’re looking for a bingeworthy scripted podcast, I have to go with “The Orbiting Human Circus.” Starring Hedwig herself, John Cameron Mitchell, Charlie Day and Tim Robbins.

OHC tells the story of a janitor who gets sucked into the world of a radio show broadcast from the top of the Eiffel Tower. This show is a beautiful and life-affirming wonder.

oly heck, everyone! We’re right in the middle of it now. Summer is here, with her arms blissfully stretched out, cracking her back and, I dunno, maybe playing some cornhole while eating a brat and sipping a honey-colored microbrew. That sounds like what she’d do.

And you too, maybe! But when you’re not doing that, and you’re just trying to rub some art into your brain, I have a few things to recommend. Sharing is caring.

“10 Things That Scare Me” is the podcast that made me feel the bravest this year. I’m scared of many stupid things—some of which are rational, but most of which are ridiculous. “10 Things” shows people at their most vulnerable and open. The guests are at times rich and famous and other times regular nobodies. Every episode I listen to gives me something to think about… even when I didn’t want to.

For people missing “Game of Thrones,” Arya Stark herself has a newish podcast called “Thinking Big with Maisie Williams” where she interviews her friends and celebrities and celebrity

friends about their childhood dreams.

It’s an amazing and effortlessly charming deconstruction of the nature of dreams, but also a bittersweet look at the way our lives change as we age.

That’s the problem here: There are just so many to talk about. I could talk about how “Adulting” taught me the proper way to shop for pillows or how nothing makes me happier than a new episode of “Yo, is This Racist?” Or how the 10-hour long 10th anniversary episode of “Comedy Bang! Bang!” is the hardest I’ve laughed all year. There are so many, but it’s not a problem. It’s wonderful. Summer would agree with me.

After such stone classics as “The Fifth Element” and “The Professional,” it’s hard not to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The Frogurt is Also Cursed Child’s Play reboot steals too much

By Jared Rasic Photo courtesy of MGM

63 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 27 / JULY 4, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

realize that most of the people headed to see the reboot of “Child’s Play” aren’t really going to care about this, but indulge me in a quick rant about the state of remakes, sequels, reboot-quels, pre-makes, re-imaginings and se-boots.

The original “Child’s Play” came out in November 1988 and focused on a mortally wounded serial killer named Charles Lee “Chucky” Ray who’s chased by police into a toy shop. Chucky performs a voodoo spell on a Good Guys doll and shoots his soul into it as his body dies. Voiced by the incredibly versatile actor Brad Dourif across seven films and three decades, the “Child’s Play” franchise has definitely had its ups and downs.

The entire franchise has been written by (and the last three films directed by) Don Mancini, the actual creator of Chucky. The last of Mancini’s “Child’s Play” movies (“Cult of Chucky”) came out in 2017 and was actually pretty great, adding depth to the mythology and tying all seven movies of the series together in an interesting way. In fact, “Cult of Chucky” and the entry preceding it, 2013’s “Curse of Chucky” have the highest Rotten Tomatoes scores of the entire franchise.

So now we have “Child’s Play,” a reboot of a franchise that’s still going strong, yet has zero creative input from Don Mancini. Instead, the film is written by first-time feature writer Tyler Burton Smith and directed with zero style by Lars Klevberg. The difficult thing about all this: Klevberg and Smith have made a super fun killer doll movie that’s not remotely a “Child’s Play” movie.

Someone watched E.T a bunch before making this movie.

With a cast featuring April Ludgate herself—also known as Aubrey Plaza— and “Atlanta’s” Brian Tyree Henry, we already have more talent than the film probably deserves. The great Mark Hamill doing the voice of Chucky is downright inspired, but this version of “Child’s Play” doesn’t care about what came before.

The doll is evil because the Vietnamese sweatshop worker who built it turned off its non-violent and moral settings after getting fired. There’s no Charles Lee Ray in this new version, so there’s literally zero reason for the killer doll to be called Chucky.

And because the ideas are so goofy and satirical, the film is never intense or scary for even a moment.

At the same time, the movie is filled with great gore and dripping with sarcasm. Everyone knows they’re making a killer doll movie, even as the creative team can’t really decide whether it’s a horror movie or a horror/comedy. The film has lots of ideas about what we as humanity would owe to artificial intelligence and how much we let Alexa control our lives, but mostly it just wants us to giggle at the cute evil doll.

This could have been the launch of another extremely successful franchise about murderous smart houses and knife-wielding robots without moral guidance, but instead they used the name “Child’s Play” to cynically wring a few more dollars

out of an existing brand name. Stupidly, they redesigned Chucky so he doesn’t even have the crossover appeal for people who still care about the Mancini movies.

I love killer dolls and I especially love Chucky, but this “Child’s Play,” while brain achingly, stupidly entertaining, came off an assembly line, just like the titular doll. And also like the doll, the film is hollow, soulless and desperate to be loved.

Child’s Play

Creating a Crew

A Central Oregon whitewater matriarchy is raising an emerging paddler generation

65

By K.M. Collins Courtesy Chloa Ulrich

Chloa Ulrich sends a massive rapid on the Salmon River, Idaho, circa mid '90s.

over the interior West and Alaska. Starting out, she piloted gear boats and captained paddle rafts, but quickly graduated to kayaking. This is a common evolution in the paddle community; but there were far fewer females in the industry back then. Today, she kayaks weekly all over Oregon.

Stahly made her whitewater debut with the Beartooth paddle crew after starting her career in occupational therapy in Montana.

“I thought, there’s gotta be more to life than work. I was unmarried and kayaking was my social system,” she says today.

Though she’s modest about it, Stahly’s river resume is extensive—including a first descent in Yellowstone, styling the North Fork of the Payette River, frequently lapping Meadow Camp (one of the most difficult kayak stretches in Bend) and having a solid reputation as a Class V boater.

Ulrich’s whitewater origin story mirrors Jacobi’s, starting out as a guide. She learned to kayak during a college course and guided all over Utah, Colorado and Idaho during summers through her 20s.

A peek at her current paddle rap sheet includes R2ing the entire Grand Canyon on a shredder (R2 means paddle rafting Courtesy Beth Jacobi

Beth Jacobi and son Orion row a raft down the John Day River together.

with just two people; a shredder is a small paddle raft) and 19 Rogue River trips, several of which she navigated solo.

Today, all three women meld river and family life.

Starting when they were infants, Jacobi prioritized kid-friendly river trips, like the John Day River, for her children. Anna, Jacobi’s eldest, loved to rope swing, cliff jump, hike creeks and catch salamanders and crawdads. Orion, Jacobi’s second, swam the majority of the Rogue River in a wetsuit with flippers and a kickboard at age 8. Now in college, he kayaks among the upper echelon of boaters, hucking the hardest waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest and exploring the steepest drainages of New Zealand.

Ulrich says her eldest, Heath, rowed from an early age and continues to do so today, just having served as a trip lead for the first time. Her second, Karl, started out bird watching from the boat and began R2ing a shredder with her in his mid-teens. Several years ago, he graduated to hucking waterfalls with Orion.

In true “go big or go home” Stahly fashion, her one and only son, Kia, had his first river trip at age 3—a seven-day Main Salmon River epic. After that, Stahly says a float tube and kayak paddle taught Kai everything he needed to know to row, dive, surf and keep up with his mom kayaking.

With decades of paddling under their belts, Ulrich shares the consensus of the group when she exclaims, “If I ever get too old to row, I won’t, but if I do, granny will train up her daughters-in-laws and grandkids to row her around.” She adds, “By then the shredder will be an antique—a family heirloom.”

ater pulling us ever closer toward the blind entrance of the Class III Fish Ladder rapid, my R2 shredder partner, Chloa Ulrich, shows not a stitch of fear. Throughout our McKenzie River route, she’s gently ruminating about nutrition, weighing the pros and cons of the histamines in fermented food.

No matter the subject, her sing-song voice swaddles me in ease. Embracing the left shoreline, each alternating paddle stroke rocking the shredder like a cradle, we elude boulder mounds for 100 yards. We finish with a flipper highfive, slapping paddles together, her never missing a beat in the dietary diatribe.

Just a day in the life of a paddle queen. No biggie.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a paddle mom—to be born into a whitewater dynasty with access to kayaks, rafts, shredders, patient maternal figures willing to teach, and superior DNA—everything at one’s waterlogged fingertips.

From studies, we know children who grow up watching their parents go to work in pantsuits with briefcases, by default, absorb business acumen, which naturally accelerates their development in the professional arena. It stands to reason that the same would be true watching your mom drysuit up, skirt into a kayak and send it. This is a story about three such moms: Beth Jacobi, Joyce Stahly and Ulrich.

Jacobi, now a Chinese Medicine doctor and social worker, started guiding at 19, as a river ranger on the Arkansas River.

At 20 she began her eight seasons of guiding in Colorado, leading trips on rivers all

Half-Throttle Adventures

Summer wandering is calling. But when time is short, let these three local-ish motorcycle rides give you some bite-sized adventure

69

By K.M. Collins

Alyssa Shavlofsky atop the Big Bad Wolf and author K.M. Collins atop Little Red Riding Hood at Pilot Butte’s summit.

A

couple of weeks ago, my fairy godmother unearthed my hibernating motorcycle and got her purring like a fat cat. Who knew all it would take was draining and replacing fluids? This summertime transportation development has jump-started my relationship with Little Red Riding Hood, my ‘77 Kawasaki, dual-sport KL250.

When you need a dose of adventure, but don’t have much time, here are some local moto-recommendations.

Pilot Butte lunchtime break Besides an incredible in-town 360-degree scenic view and the opportunity for an Insta-worthy photoshoot, Pilot Butte is a super fun ride. It was also the celebratory maiden voyage for my kid brother and his ‘95 Kawasaki, dualsport KRX650, dubbed the Big Bad Wolf.

Word to the wise: keep it in second gear as a governor, because there are other vehicles on this steep ride and high crash potential. The bumpy, somewhat unkept and curvy last 400 yards are a real treat. Parking spots for standard-sized vehicles are typically filled, but you’ll have no problem sneaking into a sliver-sized gap with your moto.

China Hat Road sunset tour The “Rough Road” signs don’t quite capture the gravity of the body-sized,

sneaker potholes sporadically scattered over the pavement of China Hat Road. The unpaved crushed rock turn-off at Bessie Butte trains one in the art of fishtailing and helps one recall why it’s called a dirt bike, not a gravel bike.

China Hat Road is a variable smorgasbord of off-road, choose-yourown-adventure style, ATV beast mode options—tight trails, mostly abandoned roads, hidden lava tubes, mountain views, blooming monkey flower and firearms ringing in the distance. In this scene that sometimes evokes the movie “Deliverance,” you’re likely to catch a glimpse of the rural OG Bendite in his native habitat. Beyond Bessie Butte, at some unmarked point, the rider finds they have exited Bend’s backyard via a secret passageway vortex and entered the heart of Newberry National Volcanic Monument.

Pre- or post-ride, stop at Deschutes River Market for a snack and a premium, no-ethanol top-off.

Metolius: A stone’s throw staycation The key to an all-day ride is setting up lots of break points. To make the 80+ mile trip to the Metolius River and back, I packed a bag with several layers, a water bottle and my registration and insurance information.

The first break: The Bite in Tumalo, where I gobbled a cheeseburger and kombucha. Increasing inversely with the temperature, people burn a lot of calories riding, so be sure to fuel up.

En route to Sisters, I learned about shaky moto mirrors. The rearview mirrors on my bike vibrated so incessantly at highway speeds, it caused an optical illusion. Multiple times I mistook tailing vehicles’ shaky bluish windshield reflection as being lit up by the cops.

The second break: Sisters Coffee. After a green tea, I re-mounted and made it all the way to the Camp Sherman RV station.

The handful of miles between the Highway 20 turnoff and the Camp Sherman Store include Central Oregon homestead-quality ambiance. An itty-bitty schoolhouse, fire station and residences line the road, as do green meadows and pine forests. In late spring, riders won’t have to look far to observe lupine, desert paintbrush, arrowroot and columbine.

Though the sky was bemoaning talltale signs of rain, I made it (dry) to the headwaters of the Metolius River, a side trip which allowed for several miles on a packed dirt road with comparatively minimal gravel.

Enroute home, I stopped in Sisters again—this time at the Space Age for a refuel of Plus, with no ethanol. Then I sidled up to Three Creeks Brewery for a refuel of pulled pork nachos.

The ride home was full of lessons the hard way. I’d gambled not hoofing it home faster with the looming dark clouds. At first, I thought the bits of material hitting my exposed face were the shattering bodies of arthropods.

Eventually, seeing the pooling water on the road, I deduced precipitation. The sensation of sharp metal on my cheeks and nose turned out to be rain. Ouch.

Arriving home, I was soaked to the bone.

The last maxim I quickly realized on these rides: Let an old girl warm up. Without enough time to wake from slumber, my ‘77 Kawasaki coughs and kicks like she’s riddled with tuberculosis. You don’t want to rush her, or she’ll buck and kick like a wild iron horse. Just like everything, a little preparation and patience go a long way.

Get the Lead Out!

A case for banning lead ammunition

By Jim Anderson Jeff Cooney

71 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 27 / JULY 4, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

B

ack in 1951, I rolled into Bend on my grand old 1947 Harley, and within a year I was into the eagle conservation business. It was then I discovered what was previously unknown to me: the U.S. Government’s role in killing wildlife.

Government trappers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s Division of Predator and Rodent Control, (an oxymoron if there ever was one) were placing horsemeat bait stations, laced with 1080 poison, all over the high desert in an effort to kill coyotes, at the behest of the woolgrowers and cattlemen.

That 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) was (and still is) bad stuff. There’s no antidote for it and it’s now banned from use in the U.S.—but for sale to any other nation who wants to use it. It not only kills coyotes, but also mice, packrats, songbirds, woodpeckers, owls, hawks, eagles, badgers, weasels and everything else that eats it.

The dead eagles, songbirds, woodpeckers and non-target mammals really bothered me—so much so, that I wrote a letter to the head of the USFWL. I can still remember his response: “Dear Mr. Anderson, Thank you for your concern about eagles. They are shot as nuisance in Alaska.”

This X-ray of a coyote shows bits of lead that can kill other animals that consume it.

That’s the way it was in 1952, even though there was a federal law on the books banning the shooting of bald eagles. (The Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940, which now includes the protection of golden eagles.)

That set me to destroying bait stations, especially when I found out Courtesy Andy Morffew / Wikimedia Commons

American eagles pay the ultimate price when they ingest lead ammo.

trappers had placed excessive poison sites in the field. One day a trapper caught me peeing on his bait stations.

He told his supervisor in Portland what I was up to, who sicced the FBI on me for “destroying government property.”

While the government trappers were doing their best to poison, trap and shoot every coyote in the country, woolgrowers were blasting eagle nests off cliffs with dynamite. All this killing would, in my way of thinking, have a very serious negative impact on bird and mammal populations, especially golden eagles.

I complained to Oregon State University and the Oregon Game Commission—then the equivalent to today’s Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife—and anyone else who would listen. I guess something worked. The old PARC outfit was changed to the present day’s “Wildlife Services,” operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The modified Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act was passed, and now both bald and golden eagles are only being shot by the people who just have to kill something. But in the ‘60s it was too late for the bald eagles killed in Alaska and other parts of the U.S. and Canada. The shooters had all but finished them off.

Then, some forward-thinking politicians got busy in the ‘70s and began an effort to save our American eagle.

Among the scientists hired to take on the project was Frank Isaacs, a bright grad from the University of Michigan who went to work in the Wildlife Unit of OSU for the plight of the bald eagle.

The bald eagles you see flying and nesting around Oregon today are the handiwork of Isaacs and his team.

Today, my wife, Sue, and I have the

distinct honor and pleasure of working with Isaacs, who’s conducting a USFWL statewide survey on the welfare of our native golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos. From Latin aquila, (“eagle”) + Ancient Greek χρυσάετος (chrysaetos, “golden”) Sue and I began working on our portion of the statewide survey 11 years ago, checking a list of historic GOEA nests (GOEA is the acronym for Golden Eagles) in the area between Bend and Burns, and down to Lakeview.

In our pursuit of these historic locations we also looked at and placed several nests on Frank’s master map, where I banded baby GOEA eaglets from the time I received my U.S. Master Bander permit in 1962. Over time he’s added nests he’s discovered, nests we’ve spotted and others given to us by the Bureau of Land Management, USFS and the state. We now have a total of 150 breeding areas we check every season, and Frank has a total of 150 he and volunteers are keeping an eye on, statewide.

Unfortunately, shooters are still taking a heavy toll on eagles and other raptors. Yes, some by shooting them, but also because of lead-based ammunition they use. The coyote in the X-ray seen on this page is not a fake.

It’s typical of what shooters leave behind for scavengers to eat: carrion laced with lead shot.

If an eagle suffering from ingested lead can be saved—and all too often they die—wildlife rehab facilities can spend up to a year eliminating lead from the victim’s blood and body. Unfortunately, lead contamination in raptors is also a limiting factor to the recovery of the California condor in the U.S., and why California is banning lead ammunition.

Why not? Lead was banned in waterfowl hunting over 25 years ago.

Oregon Builders Association Tour of Homes coming up in mid-July, 50% of the homes will be Earth Advantage Certified. This is an increase from any previous years. In another recent article, we mentioned how Earth Advantage provides third-party certification to ensure green building standards and practices are being met. The certification levels are based on how well the home scores, utilizing a long list of criteria, including, but not limited to, home energy usage, indoor air quality, water usage, walkability or bikeablity, low-water use landscaping, home site preparation and materials used.

Let’s talk dollars and sense. Not only do these green homes have cleaner indoor air quality, promoting better overall health, they’re built to a higher standard of quality, requiring less overall maintenance and upkeep during their lifetimes. With increasing home prices, lower monthly utility costs become very attractive. Combining lower operating costs with the increased savings from lower energy and water usage, the total cost of ownership for a green-built home is actually less than a conventionally built home. If you believe you can’t afford this type of home, consider purchasing a slightly smaller home to save on overall costs. Green homes are highly sought after, have higher new and resale value and are selling faster than conventionally built homes in the same locations.

Green building has been a part of the housing industry for years; however, the buzz is growing in volume and can no longer be ignored by consumers, realtors or builders.

“Y

ou never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” - Buckminster Fuller As parents to young children, as well as realtors and community members, we’re thankful that green building is now a trend growing in popularity—and without a doubt will establish a new standard of “normal.” Most people understand the urgent need to respond to climate change and to counteract the fact that humans are using more resources than the Earth can adequately provide. People are creating change by using their loudest voice of all, speaking with their mighty dollar and where they choose to spend it. Home buyers are becoming savvy, looking for essentials in their next home: A healthier and more energy efficient model. The classic economic system has proven that when the consumers speak (demand), the manufacturers (supply) listen and provide the new product. Realtors play an important role in this supply chain. We’re the connecting point between the homebuyers and the builders, so it’s a really good thing when we’re listening, too.

In March 2019 the National Association of Realtors surveyed its members about sustainability issues. It turns out that 69% said “energy efficiency promotion in listings was very or somewhat valuable.” On a local level, the Central Oregon Multiple Listing Service has a “green data” field among its search criteria, making it easier to sell or to find green homes on the market.

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS TheI’mIncredible Sulk a married lesbian working on

having another baby with my fab wife.

My new best friend is an attractive straight girl who lives in another state.

We talk and text every day. It isn’t sexual or romantic at all, but my friend gets me in a way that, I’m sorry to say, my wife does not. My wife seems jealous.

I’ve noticed her moping around when I’m on the phone and sometimes rolling her eyes when I’m laughing with my friend. How can I reassure her without giving up my new friend?

— Concerned Spouses can’t meet each other’s every need — and shouldn’t be expected to. Like, if you’re doubled over in pain, you don’t just hand your wife some dishwashing gloves and a knife and be all, “Kitchen-floor appendectomy, babe?”

Still, it makes sense that your wife is getting all green monster-y. Human emotions, including jealousy, are a tool chest for solving the mating and survival problems that have kept popping up throughout human history.

Jealousy is a guard-dog emotion, rising up automatically when we sense that our partnership might be threatened -- like by an attractive rival moving in on our boo. Research by evolutionary psychologist David Buss finds that our jealousy, in turn, triggers mate-retention behaviors, such as going around all hangdog mopeypants to try to guilt our partner into spending less time with their sparkly new friend.

Now, it seems like you could just reason with your wife: “Come on... my friend’s fiercely hetero, she lives in another state, and I’m having another baby with you.” However, though we each have the ability to reason, reasoning takes effort, while emotion comes up automatically, without mental elbow grease. So it turns out that emotion does a lot of our decision-making, and then we dress it up as reason after the fact (maybe like a little Socrates action figure).

Your best bet is be extra loving to your wife — basically to lovey-dovey her off the ledge. Psychologist Brooke C. Feeney’s research on the “dependency paradox” finds that the more an insecure partner feels they can count on their partner for love and comforting the less fearful and clingy they tend to be.

In other words, you should consistently go a little overboard in showing affection, like by sending your wife frequent random texts (“in supermarket & thinking about how much i love u”),

caressing her face, doing little sweet things. Basically, stop just short of boring her to death with how much you love her. This, in turn, should make her more likely to yawn about your friendship than go all junior prosecutor: “Did you just shave your legs for that phone call?!”

Mourning Wood My male neighbor was married to a

wonderful woman for 15 years. She died, and he was grieving heavily for several months, telling my husband and me she was the love of his life and he didn’t “know how to do life” without her, etc. Well, six months later, he was dating, Amy Alkon and in less than a year, he’s engaged to somebody new! I’m beginning to wonder if all his “I’m so grief-stricken” was just for show.

—Irate The way you see it, he went through some Stages of Grief: 1) Wow, this is terrible and life-shattering. 2) Boobs!

However, it isn’t surprising that you’re “irate” at what you perceive to be a suspiciously speedy recovery. Evolutionary psychologist Bo Winegard and his colleagues believe grief evolved to be, among other things, a form of advertising. “Prolonged and costly” grief signals a person’s “propensity” to develop deep emotional attachments to others. This, in turn, suggests they can be trusted as a friend, colleague, or romantic partner.

The reality is, there are individual differences in how people respond to loss that don’t always square with widely held beliefs about how grief is “supposed” to work. These beliefs, explains grief researcher George Bonanno, “tend to create rigid parameters for ‘proper’ behavior that do not match what most people go through.” They end up fostering doubt and suspicion about what’s actually successful coping. “When we cast suspicion on a bereaved person just because we think she coped with death too well or got on with her life too quickly, we only make her loss more difficult to bear.”

Understanding this, maybe you can try to be happy for the guy and support him in his new relationship. Don’t assume that his finding new love means he’s forgotten his late wife or no longer misses her. Consider, as Bonanno observes, that if somebody had a wonderful relationship, they may feel an acute void and long to have the wonderfulness back. And to be fair, there was some passage of time here. It’s not like the guy was all up in his phone at the funeral, drying his tears in between swiping right on Tinder.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian voice

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author Donald Miller reminds us that fear can have two very different purposes. On the one hand, it may be “a guide to keep us safe,” alerting us to situations that could be dangerous or abusive. On the other hand, fear may work as “a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.” After studying your astrological indicators for the coming weeks, Leo, I have come to the conclusion that fear may serve both of those functions for you. Your challenge will be to discern between them; to know which situations are genuinely risky and which situations are daunting but promising. Here’s a hint that might help: trust your gut feelings more than your swirling fantasies.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Why do flocks of geese fly in a V-formation? Because to do so enhances the collective efficiency of their travel. Each bird generates a current that supports the bird behind it. Let’s make this phenomenon one of your power metaphors for the coming weeks. What would be the equivalent strategy for you and your tribe or group as you seek to make your collaborative efforts more dynamic and productive? Unforeseen help will augment any actions you take in this regard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue,” mused Libra author Truman Capote. “That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.” That cynical formulation has more than a few grains of truth in it, I must admit. But I’m pleased to tell you that I suspect your experience in the coming weeks will be an exception to Capote’s rule. I think you have the potential to embark on a virtual binge of rich discussion and intriguing interplay with people who stimulate and educate and entertain you. Rise to the challenge!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In accordance with astrological rhythms, you are authorized to make the following declarations in the next two weeks: 1. “I refuse to participate further in this situation on the grounds that it might impinge on the expansiveness of my imagination.” 2. “I abstain from dealing with your skepticism on the grounds that doing so might discourage the flights of my imagination.” 3. “I reject these ideas, theories, and beliefs on the grounds that they might pinch, squash, or deflate my imagination.” What I’m trying to tell you, Scorpio, is that it’s crucial for you to emancipate your imagination and authorize it to play uninhibitedly in the frontiers of possibilities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dear Sagittarius: I invite you to make a copy of the testimonial below and give it to anyone who is in a position to support your Noble Experiment. “To Whom It May Concern: I endorse this Soulful Sagittarius for the roles of monster-tamer, fun-locator, boredom-transcender, elation-inciter, and mountaintop visionary.

This adroit explorer is endowed with charming zeal, disarming candor, and abundant generosity. If you need help in sparking your enthusiasm or galvanizing your drive to see the big picture, call on the expansive skills of this jaunty puzzle-solver.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Life will conspire to bring you a surge of love in the coming weeks—if you can handle it. Can you? Will you be able to deal adeptly with rumbling love and icy hot love and mostly sweet but also a bit sour love? Do you possess the resourcefulness and curiosity

necessary to have fun with funny spiritual love and running-through-the-labyrinth love and unexpectedly catalytic love? Are you open-minded and open-hearted enough to make the most of brilliant shadowy love and unruly sensitive love and toughly graceful love?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I don’t endlessly champion the “no pain, no gain” theory of personal growth. My philosophy holds that we are at least as likely to learn valuable lessons from pleasurable and joyful experiences as we are from difficult and taxing struggles. Having said that, I also think it’s true that our suffering may lead us to treasure if we know how to work with it. According to my assessment, the coming weeks will bring one such opening for you. To help you cultivate the proper spirit, keep in mind the teaching of Aquarian theologian and author Henri Nouwen. He said that life’s gifts may be “hidden in the places that hurt most.”

actor Tom Kenny has played the roles of over 1,500 cartoon characters, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Spyro the Dragon, Jake Spidermonkey, Commander Peepers, and Doctor Octopus. I propose that we make him your role model in the coming weeks. It will be a favorable time for you to show your versatility; to demonstrate how multifaceted you can be; to express various sides of your soulful personality.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Japanese word “wabi-sabi” refers to an interesting or evocative imperfection in a work of art that makes it more beautiful than if it were merely perfect. “Duende” is a Spanish word referring to a work of art that gives its viewers the chills because it’s so emotionally rich and unpredictably soulful. In the coming weeks, I think that you yourself will be a work of art with an abundance of these qualities. Your wabi-sabi will give you the power to free yourself from the oppressive pressures of seeking too much precision and purity. Your duende can give you the courage you need to go further than you’ve ever dared in your quest for the love you really want.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When the universe

began 13.8 billion years ago, there were only four elements: mostly hydrogen and helium, plus tiny amounts of lithium and beryllium. Now there are 118 elements, including five that are key components of your body: oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

All of those were created by nuclear reactions blazing on the insides of stars that later died. So it’s literally true to say that much of your flesh and blood and bones and nerves originated at the hearts of stars. I invite you to meditate on that amazing fact. It’s a favorable time to muse on your origins and your ancestry; to ruminate about all the events that led to you being here today—including more recent decades, as well as the past 13.8 billion years.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Most American women couldn’t vote until a hundred years ago.

Women in Japan, France, and Italy couldn’t vote until the 1940s. Universal suffrage has been a fundamental change in how society is structured.

Similarly, same-sex marriage was opposed by vast majorities in most countries until 15 years ago, but has since become widely accepted. African American slavery lasted for hundreds of years before being delegitimized all over the Western world in the nineteenth century. Brazil, which hosted forty percent of all kidnapped Africans, didn’t free its slaves until 1888. What would be the equivalent of such revolutionary transformations in your own personal life? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have the power to make that happen during the next twelve months.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini musician Paul Weller is famous in the UK, though not so much elsewhere. According to the BBC, he is one of Britain’s “most revered music writers and performers.” To which I say: revered, maybe, but mentally healthy? Not so much. He bragged that he broke up his marriage with his wife Dee C. Lee because “things were going too well, we were too happy, too comfortable, everything seemed too nice.” He was afraid that “as a writer and an artist I might lose my edge.” Don’t you dare allow yourself to get infected with that perverse way of thinking, my dear Gemini. Please capitalize on your current comfort and happiness. Use them to build your strength and resilience for the months and years to come.

Legal Progress in Marijuana?

As the presidential election looms, legislators show their hands on where they stand

By Josh Jardine

R

egular readers of this column (hi, Mom) will attest I am a strong proponent of cannabis legalization at the national level. Not simply rescheduling cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 2 or lower, but full out descheduling, and making it a legal commodity. Which is the dream, but that won’t happen until the great white Jeebus shows mercy on us all and...no, wait. Legislative action; it won’t happen until there is legislative action. I always get those two mixed up.

Political support for such action has never been higher. Numerous polls show that 60%+ of Americans favor legalization of cannabis, according to a survey from General Social Survey, the trend survey gauging support for legal marijuana since the ‘70s.

programs, specifically “from implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of marijuana.” It remains to be seen what the Republican-controlled Senate thinks about the amendment, and it may well undergo a through reworking, or quick death.

As it was written as a companion piece to The STATES Act (Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States), co-sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Cory Booker, it has similar goals regarding funding and enforcement. The team at The Hill believes that the STATES Act could “enable pro-pot ballot initiatives in virtually every swing state in 2020 that will tip the balance of the (presidential) election in favor of the Democrats.”

The team at The Hill believes that the STATES Act could “enable pro-pot ballot initiatives in virtually every swing state in 2020 that will tip the balance of the (presidential) election in favor of the Democrats.”

“We’ll see cannabis legalization very soon,” is regularly opined by many, but... will we? Really? And when it does, how will it look—taxed and regulated in the same manner of any other agricultural crop with the capacity for creating products which intoxicate, such as hops, corn or potatoes, the Devil’s Tuber? Or will new federal taxes be added, which in a state such as California, with its unreasonably high taxes already imposed upon production and sale, rise to a combined tax rate of 50% or greater?

Let’s start with what we do know, because there’s a tremendous amount of activity around cannabis going on. It’s nearly impossible to keep up with every cannabis-related piece of legislation.

As Marijuana Moment helpfully notes, “There are now 1,138 cannabis-related bills moving through state legislatures and Congress for 2019 sessions.” Then there’s the question as to where each of the “that’s waaaaaay too may” 24 people running for the Democratic presidential nomination stands, as well as our rapidly sundowning Baby Cager in Chief.

One of the amendments recently introduced by a three-member bipartisan group (including Oregon’s Rep. Earl Blumenauer) and upon passing the House of Representatives late last month, became a big deal. This amendment was originally presented for consideration in 2015, and failed by fewer than 10 votes. This time, it passed 267165. It prohibits the Department of Justice from interfering in states’ cannabis

Booker doubled down on his cannabis cred when he also announced last month his plan as a presidential candidate to grant clemency to 17,000 Drug War prisoners through his “Restorative Justice Initiative,” which would include cannabis-related convictions, those disproportionately impacted by sentencing on powder versus rock cocaine charges, and others.

Booker isn’t the sole Democratic presidential candidate calling for changes in federal law regarding cannabis. The site Medical Marijuana Inc has a frequently updated comprehensive running scorecard of the candidates’ cannabis positions, and shows 19 of the 24 announced candidates with a “100% rating” on medical and recreational legalization.

The web is filled with many hot takes as to where #45 stands on medical and recreational marijuana. He’s expressed support for medical, but has also weighed in on Colorado’s recreational program by saying, “I think it’s bad, and I feel strongly about that.”

More recently, regarding the STATES Act, he said he would “probably” support it. He’s not seemingly interested in federal rescheduling/descheduling cannabis, but there remains the possibility that he might change his position based on his political fortunes as the election grows closer, including a Hail Mary “October Surprise” announcing such action.

None of this matters if voter turnout is soft, so now, as always, be sure to be registered and turn out on Election Day.
