3 VOLUME 24 ISSUE 21 / JULY 9, 2020 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

When we set out to do this week’s cover story on the effects of a slower tourism season on Central Oregon’s economy, we started with the assumption that there would be fewer tourists here for the summer than we’ve seen in other years. Imagine our surprise when we saw that hotels and short-term rentals saw a 92% occupancy rate during the last week of June, as reported in Laurel Brauns’ story on page 10.

That was stunning. And while local governments will still feel the effects of less tourism revenue this year, the overall picture is something of a mixed bag— much like the ongoing debates around mask-wearing, herd immunity and so much more. Will Central Oregon fare better economically, as an inbound destination for so many regional visitors? Does our clean air and abundant sunshine factor into a death toll of exactly zero for the tri-county area? Will U.S. law enforcement agencies finally eradicate their systemic racism?

If anyone tells you they know all the answers, you can be sure that they don’t— but these are the questions we continue to ask.

No Rest Days– We’re Open Every Day

OPINION Wearing a Mask Shouldn’t Be This Controversial Stop being a maskhole

W

hat a world we are living in.

Following Gov. Kate Brown’s announcement last week that face coverings would be required in all indoor public places in the state, it appears most people are complying. Suddenly, grocery aisles are not populated by half the people wearing masks and the other not; suddenly, the vast majority of people are wearing them in keeping with the governor’s order. But still, the issue remains controversial among many, and some still refuse to comply. And among those who are complying, a small few find themselves playing mask police.

All along, Gov. Brown has had the unenviable job of balancing competing interests: there’s the business community, largely wanting to keep their businesses open in order to continue to bring in revenue and pay employees, and the public health community, concerned that people would spread the novel coronavirus and ultimately overwhelm our hospitals. Protests erupted earlier this spring over the former’s desire to open back up—and now that they have seen their desires heeded, people need only comply with some very basic guidelines in order to see businesses continue to stay open. People just need to avoid close contact with others and wear a mask inside public places. That’s it.

So why, when the guidance is so simple and hardly infringes on one’s life, liberty or happiness, are we still seeing “maskholes” on both sides of this “issue?” On the one hand, the maskholes who refuse to comply with a basic order that helps protect themselves and others. On the other, the maskholes who find that it is their business to publicly shame others who aren’t wearing masks, or those who are wearing them wrong.

What is it about us as Americans and Oregonians that makes this so controversial? Why are other countries so able to adopt these basic

tenets of public health, while here, the issue remains a reason to protest? Is it the rugged individualism espoused in this country that makes us so unable to resort to reason, temperance and kindness in this time of crisis? Masks should not be a source of protest.

We understand the desire and need to protest against systemic racism. It is a justified area of concern that has not seen a reasonable conclusion in centuries, and we can all do more to end it. We can even understand the desperation that led some to protest in favor of re-opening Oregon’s economy.

But protesting against wearing a mask? That diminishes the potency of things truly worth protesting.

Forcing a grocery worker or a food service employee to act as a public health authority by asking you to wear your mask is a travesty. These are the same people who, just like you, want desperately for your favorite ice cream store or your go-to taco shop to stay open—you for the good eats; they for the livelihood these places offer. It is basic decorum for you to comply if you want to go into these businesses.

This is not a political issue and should never have been made one.

Mask-wearing is a protocol put in place to protect everyone. It is not an infringement on your life, liberty or happiness to wear a mask, however briefly, while you buy your soda and your beer or even your cigarettes. You don’t walk into a store without your shirt and shoes; and your bare chest spreads less disease than the particles coming from your mouth.

Mask wearers, thank you for doing so. However, be kind, and refrain from getting on your high horse and berating people who aren’t wearing masks.

Mask haters, don’t make government officials have to clamp down further on our struggling economy. If you truly can’t abide a mask…stay home.

In short: Just stop being maskholes.

(2) Masks will help usher in the safe, steady, uninterrupted economic reopening we all desire.

(3) Masks will help prevent the COVID-19 surges that continue to overwhelm hospitals. Mask wearing will help prevent untimely deaths, while buying us time until treatment or a vaccine emerges.

—Foster Fell

IN RESPONSE TO “CITY PICKS NEW BEND POLICE CHIEF,” 7/2 VIA BENDSOURCE.COM It is interesting and indicative to note that the “Central Oregon PeaceKeepers,” whose FB page advocates the injuring, beating, and even killing of police officers (read the posts of its members on their FB pages), has offered that Chief Kranz is “Unacceptable!”.

This mirrors their recent effort to see Chief Cummins in Prineville terminated (Twenty-five protesters showed up and there was no counter protest, so it was over before it began.)

This is the “strategy” this group is taking and it reflects their hatred of law enforcement and their apparent inability to seek positive relationships and communications such as the Central Oregon Black Leaders Assembly has and continues to.

—Charlie Mike In line with our petition, the Central Oregon Democratic Socialists do not believe the hiring of Mike Krantz was a transparent process, we do not accept the selection, and we ask that the hiring process be reopened until at least one BIPOC candidate and one nonmale candidate make the final round of candidate consideration. For there to be systematic change in the Bend Police Department, we need to begin the process of hiring a new Police Chief in a transparent manner that is open and responsive to community input. I also wanted to share two groups - the Central Oregon Diversity Project and the Central Oregon Peace Keepers. Both led by people of color and both working throughout Central Oregon for racial justice.

—Bev Schlegel Organizing Committee Member Central Oregon Democratic Socialists

some biased algorithm like California uses. Even the ACLU, NAACP, and over 100 other civil rights groups know algorithms are not the answer. As to pretrial services; it is either user paid (basically bail) or taxpayer funded bail. Bail exists for only one reason. It is some assurance of accountability that people charged with crimes will go to court.

Not all defendants are required to pay bail. Millions are released through unsecured bonds or on their own recognizance every year.

Please look at these defendants and then ask yourself if you think there are too many in jail. With over 1.2 million violent offenses committed each year in this country, I understand why so many are in prison. The US does not have a bail issue, it has a crime issue.

#HAVEYOUREADITRECENTLY A friend of mine the other day responded to a “What’s up?” note from me...”I just reread the ‘Declaration of Independence’,” she said.

Huh?! I admit it’s been a l-o-n-g time since I’d taken a look, recalling only an opening few words “When in the course of human events...”

This morning, having enjoyed last night’s fireworks in celebrating the 244 years since our forefathers’ crafting of the independence document, I took a full reading myself.

I’m no historian, and am not qualified to argue chapter and verse. But

as a somewhat intelligent (arguable?) person, I found it interesting that the general tenor of those early American comments and basis for their declaration of freedom from an overarching power certainly seem to have similarities even today.

Overlaying the expressions of two and a half centuries ago matches many of the issues I’m seeing/hearing expressed today. It reaffirms for me that righting past “wrongs” is an ongoing process and clarifies why so many these days are expressing their views and acting, as our forefathers and citizens did so many years ago. #HaveYouReadItRecently?

Homeless Encampments in Downtown Bend, Coming to Your Neighborhood Soon I was struck by last week’s apparent success story about the dismantling of the homeless encampment at Juniper Ridge. If you are wondering where these folks went, take a look at the Revere Ave./ Hwy 97 interchange, Bend’s new satellite dump site located on 3 sides. This complex has been expanding since early March and is being ignored (in effect, sanctioned) by ODOT and the City. This is ODOT rightof-way. If you inquire with ODOT, the City, Bend Police, etc. Forget about “Trespass”, which is clearly posted throughout the interchange. The have been directed to “Stand Down”. They are likewise letting public safety and health (I.e. sanitation) slide. And they are most certainly ignoring the impact on the adjacent (literally across Wall St.) neighborhood, which is, unfortunately, where I live.

Our “Leaders” hang their hats on ODOT’s interpretation of the CDC’s “Interim considerations for encampments among unsheltered homeless populations due to COVID 19.” They will declare these considerations as “CDC guidance,” while totally ignoring the notso-fine print. In addition to suggesting not moving the encampments, it includes a list of companion considerations which address sanitation (like restroom facilities, onsite fresh water and hygiene availability). Take a look at this encampment and tell me that any of that exists.

Perhaps you can envision one of these encampments in YOUR neighborhood.

Under the present regime in Bend they can, and will, end up anywhere. And they will proliferate and flourish, because elected officials, $6-figure/yr. City staff, and an ambivalent public goes along.

This interchange is the primary gateway for people visiting Bend. Tourism resonates here! Just think about what our deep-pocketed visitors (and future residents), think when they see this quagmire on the way into town.

A very sad commentary on Leadership.

Bend Park & Recreation Camp Leader Tested Positive for COVID-19 In Late June; Seven Campers Self-Quarantined WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JULY 9, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Staff member was not hospitalized, and no campers tested positive, BPRD's executive director says

By Nicole Vulcan

A

staff member working with campers at Bend Park and Recreation District summer camp tested positive for COVID-19 in late June, park district officials confirmed Saturday.

BPRD officials learned of the case June 25, BPRD Executive Director Don Horton told the Source, after the staff member reported the positive result to a supervisor. The camp took place at Juniper Swim and Fitness Center, in what Horton described as "a small, single cohort satellite camp that did not have contact with other fitness center patrons."

After the staff member tested positive, the seven participants in the camp went under self-quarantine, at the recommendation of the Deschutes County Health Department, Horton said. County officials did not provide more information by press time, but Horton said that the three other staff members who worked the same camp that same week were cleared to return to work by the county health department.

"The one staff person who tested positive had minor symptoms only and was not hospitalized. The other staff have had no symptom. As far as the participants, we are not aware of any who have become ill, however, this would be a county health department purview to respond to," Horton wrote in an email to the Source.

Juniper Swim and Fitness Center, at the present time the only BPRD facility with indoor pools, opened again June 8, after closing in accordance with Gov. Kate Brown's executive orders around COVID-19, with the fitness center, FIT studio, group exercise rooms and outdoor exercise spaces opening first. The center's pools had only begun to open in late June.

"Unfortunately, this likely will not be our one and only case," BPRD's Horton wrote. "We are following the Oregon Health Authority and Governor’s office summer camp guidelines carefully and exceeding those guidelines in some areas.

City Picks New Bend Police Chief

Mike Krantz from the Portland Police Bureau brings experience in racial equity, City says

end City Manager Eric King has chosen Mike Krantz as the new chief of the Bend Police Department. Krantz was the assistant chief at the Portland Police Bureau, the largest department in the state, where he’s served for 27 years.

He starts the new job Aug. 10.

Chief Jim Porter retired Thursday after 29 years of service. He took over as chief in 2014 after King fired his predecessor. During that time, morale was low among officers. In 2014, only 54% of people in Bend trusted Bend police officers to “do the right thing,” according to a Portland State University survey. By 2019, this had risen to 84%.

Krantz developed and implemented the Portland Police Bureau’s Racial Equity Plan, which focused on addressing the root causes of inequities within the bureau, according to Thursday's release, also building the bureau’s Office of Community Engagement to create relationships and build trust in the Portland Community. He's also described as having helped to form the Latino Advisory Council to respond to concerns that police would start enforcing immigration laws.

“I am excited to build on the strong foundational relationships that the

Bend Police Department has developed with the community and ensure the department continues to be on the leading edge of public safety,” Krantz said in a statement. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with an incredible group of people that have proven over and over again their unwavering commitment to serve and protect their community.”

Krantz holds a bachelor’s degree in public policy and administration from Western Oregon University, is a graduate from the Police Executive Research Forum Senior Management Institute for Police, and holds an executive certificate from the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, according to the release.

City Manager Eric King said this of the hire: “Mike has a reputation for being a creative, collaborative and innovative leader in public safety. He has a unique ability to translate what he learns from his peers and community partnerships into meaningful policy reform. That ability, paired with his recent work in diversity and equity, will provide strong leadership as our department continues working with our community to

address concerns about the relationship between race and public safety.”

Town Hall reveals Krantz was not the favored candidate among the five finalists for the job. Respondents instead preferred two candidates within the BPD: Capt. Nick Parker and Lt. Brian Beekman.

“We believe that our youngest students learn best in three dimensions, with ongoing adult support as they learn not only academic subjects, but basic social-emotional skills that are best learned in person,” Nordquist wrote.

Middle and high school students will come to school part time (Balanced) while also adhering to a structured online program from home where they’ll have daily contact with their teachers and regular feedback. They may come in during staggered hours or on alternating days in order to maintain the social distancing requirements mandated by the State.

With parents, teachers and students all on the same online learning platform (Canvas), it will be a different experience than Spring 2020, Nordquist said.

Nordquist has named the new system the “ABC approach” for All In, Balanced and Connected learning options, and emphasized that it’s tentative and based on both new Oregon Department of Education guidelines and feedback that she received from parents.

“We understand, from your feedback this spring, that a primary objective in developing our plan should be to maximize the number of students who can engage in face-to-face learning, while also providing flexible learning options for students,” she wrote.

Students in kindergarten through fifth grade will return full-time (All In) for in-person instruction with teachers.

Mask and You Shall Receive

Local business owners share the ups and downs of the new statewide mask mandate

By Cayla Clark

Airborne transmission “Emerging science indicates that we need to be more concerned with airborne transmission,” Huff explained. “The virus can linger in tiny droplets in the air and infect people who inhale that air.

This development feels new to the public. Until recently, the public health messaging has been focused on hand washing and social distancing to minimize transmission by large droplets, such as those produced when coughing or sneezing.

The public now needs to think about how to minimize airborne transmission.”

On July 4, The New York Times published an open letter to the World Health Organization, in which 239 scientists in 32 counties outlined conclusive evidence showing that small, airborne particles have great infectious potential. In early April, 36 air quality and aerosol experts urged the WHO to consider the extensive evidence surrounding airborne transmission, but that message got lost in other messages around hand washing and social distancing.

Huff noted that in order for mandates to be successful, community members must work together. “Business owners and customers have important roles to play in encouraging compliance. Business owners can communicate their requirements, and customers can encourage each other to learn about, support and comply with businesses’ policies. Meaning that for businesses where masks cannot be worn by customers at all times, the business posts clear howto messaging. For example, a restaurant

might inform customers dining indoors that they are expected to wear face coverings until their food arrives, and any time they’re not sitting at their table.”

Local restaurateurs explained the steps they have been taking to ensure rules and regulations are clear to all customers.

understanding that this is a crazy time, and they work with us to get through it.”

Going the extra mile, staff members take the temperature of each customer with a laser thermometer before seating them on the patio. In doorways and restrooms, masks are mandatory. Once diners are Courtesy Leapin' Lizards

Leapin’ Lizards, a toy store in downtown Bend, requires all customers (over the age of 2) to mask up before entering.

Whining and Dining Nicole Precone, owner of Root Down Kitchen in Bend, said she’s still not offering indoor seating. “All of our customers are required to wear a mask when ordering and when using the restrooms,” she said. “We only offer outdoor seating at this time. We have signs on our front door and front counter reminding customers of the new requirement. So far, everyone has been cooperating; we’ve had no issues. If someone shows up without a mask we ask them to put one on. If for some reason that doesn’t work, we ask customers to go outside and call in for curbside pickup. We won’t provide service to anyone who isn’t wearing a mask.”

at their respective tables, they can take their masks off to eat and drink.

Masking the maskless Public agencies such as the Deschutes Public Library are going even further to support patrons in complying with the new guidelines. As of June 22, the library re-opened from Monday-Saturday, 9am-6pm, with special hours for the immunocompromised or elderly (9-10am). Customers are able to pick up and check out materials at self-serve kiosks. All programs and events will still be held online.

“We supply masks to those who would like to use our facilities but don’t have a mask available,” said Chantal

“I am saddened that at this point in the pandemic I still need to provide masks. It’s my opinion that everyone should have one with them. Even visitors. If you come to Oregon, be aware of our requirements.”

—Suzy Reininger Dump City Dumplings’ owner Dan Butters explained that a small number of customers were upset about the current situation, but that their frustrations didn’t always concern masks. “We have signs everywhere that say not to enter the building, and those get ignored here and there. We’ve had a few people who have been mad that we aren’t fully open, but that’s on them. Overall, people are

Strobel, DPL communications & development Manager. “The response has been positive, and customers seem happy to wear a mask to use their local library. We have procedures and signage in place to maintain 6 feet distancing for all people, and we limit the number of people in library facilities at one time.”

Jamie Alderete, owner of BendOver Wax Studio in Bend, also noted that

customers had been consistently gracious. “We have an online form for our clients to fill out before they come in.

We ask a few questions and require they wear a mask for the duration of their visit. Everyone has been very understanding. If someone forgot a mask, we have one to offer them. I think people are just happy to be out and to be able to take care of their self-care needs!”

Still, other businesses have struggled enforcing the mandate.

“I had purchased masks and had been handing them out, but I’m currently out of stock,” said Suzy Reininger of Leapin’ Lizards toy store in downtown Bend. “I am saddened that at this point in the pandemic I still need to provide masks. It’s my opinion that everyone should have one with them. Even visitors. If you come to Oregon, be aware of our requirements.”

Some businesses, like Oregrown Industries, Inc., were ahead of the game. “We took preventative measures by asking customers to wear a face covering approximately a month prior to the mandate,” explained Aaron Elston, vice president of retail for the company. “Oregrown will be providing locally made Blackstrap cloth masks to all staff to ensure a low-waste footprint. Customers have, for the most part, been very receptive to the new rules.”

Gym requirements Brown’s mandate includes some exceptions, including exercising at a gym, so long as gym-goers remain 6 feet apart.

Ulla Lundgren, co-owner of The Yoga Lab in Bend, explained that while they’re carefully following protocols, the majority of classes were still being held via Zoom.

“We’re requiring everybody to wear a face covering inside, with the exception of when they are engaging in strenuous exercise, which in our case is our Vinyasa and flow classes,” Lundgren explained.

“We’ve marked the outer parameters of where yoga mats are placed with tape to take out the guess work. So far everyone is complying and seems to appreciate our efforts to keep everybody safe. Of course, we’re keeping our space sparkling clean and disinfected.”

According to Huff of OSU, Bendites would be better off exercising outdoors.

“Businesses that encourage customers to physically gather and exhale more forcefully, such as gyms or fitness studios, will need to carefully consider how to prioritize their employees’ and customers’ health,” she concluded.

“This can be difficult, because working out is more uncomfortable when wearing a face covering, and customers may be reluctant to wear one unless it’s required. However, it is becoming clear that masks and good ventilation systems are important in minimizing airborne transmission.”

s of July 1, Gov. Kate Brown mandated face covering in all public, indoor settings in Oregon. The statewide requirement spurned opposition and appreciation; some refused to comply, others grasped the public safety implications.

Brown put off mandating masks during Phase One reopening in Central Oregon and some other Oregon counties May 15, remaining optimistic that Oregonians would take respecting the well-being of others upon themselves. Statewide case numbers continued to climb, and on June 24 the governor mandated masks in seven counties. Days later, she issued the statewide order.

The Slow Boat to Recovery WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JULY 9, 2020 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

On the last weekend of June, the occupancy rate at local hotels and short-term rentals was at 92%.

Will tourism keep Bend’s economy and city budget afloat?

By Laurel Brauns

D

uring the Great Recession, some believed tourism in Bend rescued the local economy. Travelers poured money into Central Oregon’s restaurants and coffeeshops, millhouses were transformed into profitable vacation rentals and national sports events attracted first-time visitors. Some visitors decided to relocate to the area, which reinvigorated the real estate market and construction industry.

“As far as tourism’s role in our recovery from the Great Recession, it really ‘greased the wheels’ for the rest of the local economy,” Damon Runberg, of the Oregon Employment Department, told the Source. “For nearly a two-year period of time it was the only industry that added jobs while other industries continued to decline slowly or see little change.”

The surge came as people from nearby cities began to feel more comfortable about their financial situation. They opted to drive over to Bend for a less expensive vacation than flying to Hawaii, for example, Runberg said.

But in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, is tourism the path to economic recovery? Some people fear that carriers of COVID-19 will bring the coronavirus with them and seed an outbreak—which happened in early April in Ketchum, Idaho, the town with the highest infection rate in the country at the time.

Tourism advocates see the industry’s potential to lift the city out of economic despair. As long as visitors follow the rules, stay home if they are feeling sick and wear masks, then why not keep the economy running at full capacity, goes the thinking.

Over the past 10 years, Bend has seen a huge increase in tourism taxes that help cover basic services like police and the fire department. Since 2011, revenue from transient room taxes has tripled in Bend, from $3.2 million to $10.2 million last year. Revenues more than doubled for Deschutes County, from $3.1 million in 2011 to $7.8 million last year.

tax collections to pay for services, and pumps the rest into tourism marketing.

More than one out of six workers in Deschutes County has a job in leisure and hospitality. Runberg reported in mid-June that in the previous 12 weeks, 19% of the labor force in Bend filed unemployment claims. The accommodation and food services industries have been hit the hardest, with 40% of claims.

Arts, entertainment and recreation jobs are close behind at 30%.

The role of tourism promotion in a pandemic Visit Bend is at the center of the ongoing debate pitting public health against the economy.

“On one hand we have stakeholders that are eager for us to get back out there and do marketing; on the other hand we have a health crisis upon us,” said Kevney Dugan, CEO of Visit Bend.

At the onset of the coronavirus crisis in mid-March, Visit Bend completely eliminated its outbound marketing efforts, and instead encouraged potential visitors to follow Gov. Kate Brown’s orders to “Stay Home, Stay Safe.”

Throughout April and May, occupancy hovered around 25%.

The floodgates opened Memorial Day weekend (May 23-25) when the occupancy rate jumped to 65% on that Saturday night. By June 13, one week into Phase Two, it climbed to 76% and 92% the weekend of June 27.

Most of the travelers coming to Bend arrived by car from cities within an 8-hour radius, Dugan said. They’re driving in from Portland, Washington and Northern California, instead of flying in from Texas or Los Angeles, which is what happens during a normal summer season, Dugan said. VB is only budgeting for future online marketing campaigns so it can turn them on and off at a minute’s notice depending on outbreak reports across the U.S. As of now, it is not doing any marketing, but it’s 2020/2021 fiscal year business Laurel Brauns

The Big Eddy rapid on the Deschutes River was busy with commercial raft boats on Sunday, July 5.

Raft guides and customers wore masks.

The hotel and short-term rental occupancy rate in Bend has almost reached pre-pandemic levels on the weekends, but weekday occupancy is still low and hoteliers have cut their rates by at least 25%.

plan was just approved by the Bend City Council earlier this month with total expenses estimated at $2.3 million, down from $3.2 last year. VB had to dip into its reserve fund, lay off a number of employees and cut salaries, Dugan said.

Still, Dugan believes Bend is poised to have a strong recovery because of all the opportunities for outdoor recreation.

“We’ve seen a 290% increase in traffic on our Visit Bend camping page,” Dugan said. “Hitting the trails and being outdoors is one of the safest places you can be during a pandemic, and we are well suited to capture some of that.”

Impacts on the City of Bend During the fiscal year 2018-2019, transient room taxes provided nearly $7 million to the City of Bend’s general fund.

Those revenues resulted in $245,000 going to arts and culture organizations, and provided an additional $400,000 to the Bend fire and police departments.

While it is impossible to chart an accurate forecast of what lies ahead in the tourism economy, Dugan worked with the City to come up with an estimate of what both Visit Bend and the City can expect in losses, using estimates from Oxford economics, a global forecasting company.

As of June, the City is counting on a $5.4-million- to $11.4-million shortfall from room tax revenues for fiscal years 2019/2021. The City may also lose a few million from property taxes, fines and citations, and highway gas taxes as a result of the coronavirus lockdowns.

The City had planned to spend $219 million in 2020/2021, but every department was asked to make 10% cuts, according to Sharon Wojda, the City’s chief financial

officer. The Bend City Council finalized the budget reductions on June 17.

The cuts will primarily come from a hiring freeze: Bend currently has 36 jobs openings it won’t be filling. This includes about 10 jobs within the fire and police departments.

Because city employees will continue to work from home in the foreseeable future, the City of Bend is cutting $500,000 that it budgeted for expanding its downtown offices. It also eliminated conferences and training.

The City will delay a few traffic-flow projects for at least a year, including a new roundabout at Ninth Street and Wilson Avenue. The City will also delay a project at the intersection of Purcell Boulevard and Neff Road that would have added extra lanes.

Wojda told the City Council that she is assuming the City will be reimbursed by the federal government and the state for all the of its expenses related to COVID-19, and it is actively pursuing grants in the meantime.

The U.S. Congress left on a twoweek recess beginning July 2 to celebrate Independence Day. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act over six weeks ago that would provide $900 billion to cities and states. It would also extend the extra $600/week employment benefit through the end of 2020: it currently expires at the end of July. States are left in limbo as they attempt to budget for public schools, new Medicaid claims and the costs of higher education. The U.S. Senate will return July 20 but it is scheduled to leave again Aug. 10.

With travel not widely recommended, Central Oregon hoteliers offer some staycation inspiration

ummer is finally here! Unfortunately, this year we get “Summer 2020 Edition,” which can only mean one thing: nothing is normal, and traveling away from home is in something of a gray area.

(As much as Central Oregonians love to count out-of-state license plates, we can’t really condemn Californians and Washingtonians as the spawn of Satan if we’re traveling, too.)

“Airplane travel is still very high risk, mainly because you’ll be sitting in an indoor setting with poor ventilation,” said Chunhuei Chi, professor of Global Health Services at Oregon State University’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences. “There is mounting evidence that COVID-19 can spread through aerosol in addition to droplets. With aerosol indoors, in a confined space, there is no such thing as a ‘safe

Guests are able to watch the sunset from The Rooftop bar while enjoying a delicious craft cocktail, and if you squint your eyes just right, you might just start to believe you actually made it to Hawaii.

The Suttle Lodge & Boathouse The year-round resort offers discounted rates mid-week, which conveniently happens to be when all of its summertime events take place.

Alana Kambury, director of sales and community development, detailed some of the fun happenings. “Every Wednesday we have a cookout featuring a regional brewery,” she said. “We have a rotating menu of delicious barbecue Courtesy of Suttle Lodge & Boathouse

renovated it,” she shared. “It’s a small property, only four rooms, but it’s conveniently located and we have a nice big lobby and communal dining area. We encourage locals to come for a staycation because they’ll have the whole place to themselves!” For those with family members in town, the entire bunkhouse can be booked at one time. It’s located in the heart of downtown Sisters, within walking distance to shops, restaurants and hiking trails. Locals also receive a 10 percent discount with valid ID. Long Hollow Ranch Larry and Linda Monger own and operate Long Hollow Ranch right outside of Sisters. Central Oregonians looking for a break from city livin’ can escape to this serene and secluded bed & breakfast, in a building that dates back over 100 years.

“The main guest house has five guest rooms, each with its own private bath,”

Linda Monger told the Source. “Riding and hiking trails crisscross the ranch, while adjacent private and public lands provide plenty of space to explore on foot or horseback. Long Hollow boasts a couple of fine fishing reservoirs and is within minutes of several great golf courses.

Our wish is that our guests leave renewed in body and spirit.”

Chi, of OSU, reminds staycationers to take necessary precautions, even when traveling fewer than 20 miles, including “choosing locations where there are very few new cases over the last 14 days, choosing locations where there are fewer visitors, bringing extra sets of facial masks along with hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes and alcohol spray, separating outdoor clothing and shoes from indoor clothing and bringing enough food and drink to minimize the necessity of dining in an indoor restaurant.”

distance.’ In addition, the small toilet room presents an even higher risk than the cabin. Avoid using the toilet inside an airplane, if possible. I’ve read that people who travel long hours will wear adult diapers to avoid the toilet.”

Postpone that cross-country trip or stock up on adult diapers? The choice is yours… but there is a more viable (and less dangerous and stressful and potentially messy) option.

With local hoteliers placing a focus on staycations, Central Oregonians can safely scratch the summer vacay itch without traveling too far from home.

Wine nights fill up fast, so we suggest making reservations. We offer a very relaxed, safe space for guests to enjoy food and drinks at a comfortable distance.” While the lodges themselves book up quickly, Kambury suggests dispersed camping in the surrounding forest. “I’ve had some friends bike out back and forth and stay a couple of nights. There’s camping all around the lake and throughout the Deschutes Forest. Of course, if people are coming out for our drink events, we recommend they make arrangements to stay the night.”

BARBER SHOP COMING SOON!

ocal musicians looking to spark their creativity and hang with other artists for inspiration might look to this weekend as a great opportunity to expand their craft. Pete Karsounes and Eric Leadbetter, two gems of Bend’s music scene, will host a songwriters camp at Rareloom Farm and Garden starting Friday.

Located in Tumalo, Rareloom Farm is a colorful sanctuary filled with produce, flowers and cute farm animals.

Not only is it a great spot for people looking to upgrade their gardens, but it’s also a hideaway for artists looking to create. Plus, it’s in Leadbetter’s neck of the woods. Since the pandemic, Leadbetter has seen his live music schedule slow significantly—so he’s been supplementing with some farm time.

“But in all honesty, when the gigs dropped off for me, I asked Jason and Meg (Rareloom’s owners) if they needed any extra help sowing, transplanting and working the register in the greenhouse. They said absolutely—so I started helping a few hours a week for start trades,” says Leadbetter.

“Once we got swinging back to ‘normal’ again, Jason and I started talking events and this one popped into my head! The property is beautiful. I thought of teaming up with Pete Kartsounes because we had been gaining some steam playing before the lockdown, and he’s a great songsmith.”

The retreat starts at 5pm on Friday and goes until 4pm on Saturday.

For everyone’s safety, the event has a 20-person limit, and all activities are held outside.

Things will kick off with a meet and greet, followed by a dinner catered by local eateries Bleu Rooster and

Southern Accent. After that, Leadbetter and Kartsounes will lead a variety of workshops.

“Workshops will range from ‘incorporating nature,’ to ‘the math of music,’ to ‘lyrical melody’ and more,” Leadbetter tells the Source. “We will have some fun assignments for people to team up and work on, co-writing as well as song circles and song sharing.”

Following the workshops will be an open mic on the treehouse stage and a late-night bonfire under the stars— with more music, of course.

Saturday includes breakfast, more workshops, song circles and performances—offering more than one opportunity for artists to connect and get out of their comfort zones.

“I am really looking forward to the workshops and jams in the treehouse… you have to see it to understand how cool it is! What a perfect stage.”

After the retreat finishes, Leadbetter and Kartsounes will take over the Volcanic Theatre Pub on Saturday night. For them, this is the perfect kind of weekend.

“It will be a great transition to do two days of songwriting with some very talented musicians, then go perform our duo act at Volcanic that night. Couldn’t have planned a better lead into an amazing gig at Bend's favorite venue!”

Tickets for the Volcanic show are available in advance on Volcanic Theatre Pub’s website.

CULTURE

By Tom Beans, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe

A recommended summertime read: “Desert Notebooks: A Road Map for the End of Time” Submitted

our place in the world. And if nature writing is your thing, Ehrenreich’s descriptions of his beloved Mojave Desert are as good as anything you’ll read anywhere.

Owls continually play a part in this story as omens of death and war, but also of wisdom. I’ll never look at our own resident owls quite the same again.

Set against all of this is the big-picture concept of time and how we attempt to manipulate it, not necessarily for the better. Pre-Christianity, time was a concept that was cyclical, often related to deep connections with the natural world and shared mythologies. I never really considered the idea that with the advent of BCE/CE, time was suddenly more linear. Henceforth

there would always be a before and after that resultingly brought about a disassociation from the natural cycles we as a species followed for thousands of years.

This is but one small example of the ideas to be found within this book deserving of your attention. Ehrenreich may not provide answers, but you’ll be better equipped for the kind of deep thinking required to look ahead into a future full of unknowns.

Kaycee Anseth Legacy Foundation Launches New nonprofit honors local artist, supporting other local artists

O

n March 16, the Bend community lost artist and activist Kaycee Anseth. The longtime Bend artist left a beautiful part of herself in the form of her prolific and expansive works, which often involved large collages with themes of nature made from discarded fashion magazines.

Anseth’s work often spoke of the magic of the natural world and her deep connection to it. Her intricately connected pieces of paper reimagined waste into something spectacular. Places her work is on display include the bright yellow mural, “Two for Joy,” in Bend’s Franklin Avenue. underpass, on

the table signs at Bend’s Foxtail Bakeshop and in the offices of the Facebook Data Center in Prineville.

Prior to her death from cancer, Anseth appointed a group of friends and family to oversee The Kaycee Anseth Legacy Foundation, a nonprofit that uses the sales of Anseth’s art prints to raise funds for two grants for Central Oregon artists: The Paper Tiger Fund and The Outcreate Grant. The mission of these grants, according to the organization, is to “beautify, heal, and unite our community by removing financial obstacles for Central Oregon artists, amplifying their ability to create.”

The legacy of Kaycee Anseth lives on in the form of grants for artists.

"Braided Be," collage art by Kaycee Anseth.

The group hopes to deliver funds beginning in early 2021. Each fund has a unique purpose. The Paper Tiger Fund is a one-time grant between $100 and $300, given to artists in immediate need and intended to help with medical bills or other unexpected life emergencies.

The Outcreate Grant will use funds to support the creation of new work by local artists, allowing funds to be used for “studio space, art supplies and other needs that support creation.”

e’re only halfway through 2020, but “Desert Notebooks” is a strong contender for my best book of the year. Author Ben Ehrenreich offers a profound and lyrical meditation on history, nature, myth, and our changing concepts of time against the backdrop of our ongoing political upheaval and a climate crisis that isn’t going away.

If history is your thing, you’ll learn more about the Greeks, Romans, Mayans and various Indigenous cultures of the Americas and how their history and mythologies were intertwined. How about literature and philosophy? Borges, Beckett, Rousseau, Hegel and others get treatment as a means to understanding

The foundation launched officially on what would have been Anseth’s 41st birthday, June 25. The group collected donations, as well as sold art prints and raised over $5,000 in the first 24 hours.

CHOW Munching While Masking

LITTLE BITES

By Cayla Clark

Jed Bellefeuille @positivebrewdude

Wear a mask indoors, but take it off while eating or drinking. Say what, now?

21

By Nicole Vulcan

Wait… this is vegan?! Lively Up Yourself has all of your vegan comfort food needs covered.

Plant-Based Bites Five local vegan dishes to fool even the most dedicated carnivore

When to mask and unmask can be a tricky tango while dining in.

S

ince July 1, Oregonians across the state have been required to wear masks when inside public buildings—but with some of those public spaces being places we go to eat and drink, the rules can get pretty confusing. Take the mask off too early and risk being publicly shamed by a zealous mask-wearer. Wear it while trying to sip a margarita and risk being an attractant for the bees who catch a whiff of your sugary-sweet face covering.

As Oregonians come to terms with this new edict, there’s plenty of confusion and gray area—and the notion of eating and drinking indoors in public is definitely colored a shade of solid slate-gray.

The general advice from Deschutes County Health Services is this: “When at a restaurant or bar, face covering guidelines require that you wear a face covering while waiting in line, walking to and from your table, to the restroom etc.,” Emily Freeland, an environmental health specialist for Deschutes County Health Services wrote in an email to the Source. “While seated at a table at least 6 feet from other parties, you can take off your mask. Best practice is to remove your mask carefully, place it on a clean surface and then sanitize your hands. If you have a disposable mask and a second face covering, you can replace it with a clean face covering.” In an instructional video, St. Charles Health System recommended a similar approach: Have more than one mask available, and a bag to put masks in, to help cut down on contamination.

In the era of indoor face-covering requirements, Freeland says misusing face coverings is one of the biggest issues.

“We do not recommend wearing your mask hanging from your ear or around your neck,” Freeland reminded. “This can lead to bad habits for face covering use.”

A local primary care provider offered more explanation.

“The problem with having your mask under your chin and then putting it back over your face, is that you A) your chin does not need protection from COVID-19; your mouth and your nose DO,” Havilah Brodhead, a family nurse practitioner at Hearthside Medicine in Bend told the Source. “And B) when taking it off and on, you’ll likely touch the inside of it with your fingers—your fingers which likely were touching a bar counter, door handle, cell phone or table that may have COVID-19 virus on the surface. So instead of keeping the virus FURTHER away from you, you are actually bringing it right up to your nose and mouth to deeply breathe in while your mask is on.”

Brodhead said seeing food service workers play loose with face coverings is especially concerning.

“It has been disconcerting, to say the least, to be one of the many providers and conscientious citizens on the front lines trying to hold up the levee, doing anything we possibly can to reduce infection, and then go to the store, a restaurant, or a park and see large groups of people shoulder to shoulder, not wearing masks,” she wrote. “Perhaps even more disconcerting

are those wearing a mask at their places of employment ‘because they have to’ and not wearing them properly, for example, under their chins or under their noses. It is akin to wearing a condom with a gaping hole in the end... Maybe you will get lucky, but maybe you get a baby and COVID-19 is definitely not as cute as a baby!”

If you’re going to go out to restaurants or bars, Brodhead recommends choosing places where the business as well as the patrons practice proper hygiene, including wearing masks over both mouth and nose, and to choose places that have widely spaced seating. Keep your mask on while ordering, Brodhead recommends, and when you take the mask off, avoid touching the inside of it.

“And for the love of all things holy, please do NOT set it dirty side down on the table! The best place for your mask if not on your face is inside a plastic, cloth or brown paper bag,” Brodhead wrote.

“The worst place for your mask is facedown on the table—this is akin to wiping your bum and placing your used toilet paper on the table, then deciding to re-use it. Just don’t do it. That’s yucky.”

And what about personal straws that you could, in theory, use even while wearing a mask?

Freeland of Deschutes County Health Services advised, “Use of personal straws is not prohibited and the use of a clean straw from home most likely presents little additional risk.

However, some establishments may have policies prohibiting their use.”

Local restaurants cater to a variety of dietary restrictions and lifestyle choices, so even those with limited diets never have limited options. This week, we’re rounding up five vegan meals that many—no matter how meat-obsessed— can enjoy.

Lively Up Yourself, a vegan food cart named after a well-known Bob Marley song, serves up comfort food, including its BBQ Burrito. It’s crafted with marinated, smoked jackfruit smothered in house-made BBQ sauce, all wrapped up in a flour tortilla with onion, purple cabbage coleslaw, brown rice and house queso. Make it gluten-free by throwing it all in a bowl. 1661 NE 4th St, Bend Root Down Kitchen’s Hoisin Tempeh and Roasted Cauliflower Tacos, made with spinach, radish, sumac-marinated onions and a housemade green tahini sauce are totally satisfying. 215 NW Hill St, Bend With a brand spankin’ new location at Spoken Moto, A Broken Angel Sustainable Food Cart & Catering has a vegan Philly, but the signature Pacific NW Philly Sandwich is truly an herbivorous dream.

The sandwich is stuffed with marinated portobello strips, caramelized chilis, onions, and smothered in roasted garlic poblano cream and served on a focaccia hoagie. 310 SW Industrial Way, Bend Deeply Rooted opened its doors just days before the statewide shutdown.

Now reopened for dine-in and takeout, the vegan eatery serves up dishes that could easily be mistaken for the “real thing.” The Inglorious Bastard, a pretzel roll stuffed with a convincing Beyond bratwurst, sweet caramelized onions, sauerkraut and stone ground mustard, is served with a signature green salad.

1133 NW Wall St Ste 100, Bend Since it opened in 2019, Toasty has been serving up much more than standard smashed avo on wheat. The Faken Bac’n Ranch is made with smoky tempeh, fresh avocado, onion, tomato, local microgreens and vegan ranch dressing. Think vegan avocado toast on (the good kind of) steroids. 536 NW Arizona Ave, Bend

SCREEN May the Source Be With You July Edition

In Pod We Trust: I have never been beaten so bad by the police that I barely noticed getting tased, but you know who has? Comedian Jake Flores, who went to a George Floyd-related protest in Brooklyn last month and (along with many other peaceful protesters) got his ass handed to him by the NYPD. Flores relates his story in another unmissable episode of “Pod Damn America,” which is quickly becoming the most politically charged and incisive podcast during our current culture/face mask war.

If you’re looking for some laughs in an otherwise fairly dark and unsettling time, new episodes of “Polar Opposites” have been breaking down the difference between activism and performative activism in ways that will drop your jaw. Are you afraid that you’re a bad ally and much more into virtue signaling than actually making

a difference? Give new episodes of “Polar Opposites” a chance to show you the way.

NPR’s always fascinating “Throughline” tackles deeply held American systems of oppression by breaking down their history and showing exactly how we got from there to here. One of the newest episodes is focused on the American system of policing, its history of enforcing slavery, and how little has been changed in the institution since then. If knowledge is power, then this podcast will get you swole.

Now Streaming I’ve been saving most of my seriousness for the podcasting realm and have been watching some pretty fun stuff lately. Although, Netflix’s new “Unsolved Mysteries” show is just about as dark and disturbing as humanly possible, I still take great pleasure in seeing how it manages to update the classic format for a modern audience already obsessed with true crime shenanigans. Netflix has also taken my heart with the bonkers new show, “Warrior Nun.” Imagine if “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was less whiny and had twice the martial arts and intrigue, and you’ve got it! A show called “Warrior Nun” should be trash. In fact, it might be trash, but it’s also fun and smart and filled with badass female characters that keep getting shaded with more depth with each episode.

If you’re not getting your true crime fix from “Unsolved Mysteries,”

The astounding production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream" from The National Theater.

HBOMax has launched a new miniseries based on the true crime masterpiece, “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark,” which focuses on the hunt by Michelle McNamara for the Golden State Killer.

She passed away in her sleep just a few months before he was captured, and this doc focuses on the work she did to identify the killer after decades of inactivity. This story will be as big (if not bigger) than “Serial,” mark my words.

Or, if you’re like me, you’re just watching Disney+’s filmed version of “Hamilton” over and over again. How many times is too many times? If you

were energized from “Hamilton” and still needing a theatrical fix, YouTube has been posting exclusive content from The Old Vic, The National Theater, Shakespeare’s Globe and the Stratford Festival to keep us occupied. The NT version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is legit one of the best Shakespeare adaptations I’ve ever seen and has Brienne Of Tarth herself, Gwendoline Christie, playing Titania, so I’m not sure how it could be any better. Plus, you can donate to the theaters while you watch to help keep theater alive for as long as we can.

I love my doc.

ey everybody! Remember that time we were in the middle of a pandemic and it got politicized but instead of our president trying to bridge the gap between us, he gave a speech at Mt. Rushmore comparing Black Lives Matter protesters to fascists and Nazis? Me, too.

Invasion of the Giant Bee Snatchers

Invading "murder wasp" spells trouble

he Xerces Society, one of the leading worldwide insect conservation organizations, put on a four-hour Bumble Bee Atlas webinar a couple of weeks back. Right in the middle of it, the presenter, Professor Rich Hatfield, paused in his recitation on bumblebees and placed the illustration at right of the Asian giant wasp on the screen, saying: “This is not one of our local bumblebees, it is the “murder wasp” that’s hit the headlines recently. The reason I put this in my program is because I have heard of misinformed people killing our native bumble bees, thinking they are the infamous invader, the Asian Yellow-faced wasp.”

Please, Good People, be sure of what you are killing before you do it. Our native bumblebees are among the most important plant pollinators on this beautiful old Earth we call home. They have enough trouble staying alive without being killed because they are being mistaken for the alien Asian giant wasp.

About 15 of these giant invaders have been observed in the U.S. proper, and that was up near Tacoma, Washington. If a group somehow got trapped in a shipping container in the home range of these giants, and then got loose when they arrived in the Seattle docks, they could have flown to the Tacoma area, but…

Entomologists at Washington State University are looking into the sudden

appearance of these giant wasps, Vespa mandarinia. The invaders are as long as a child’s little finger, and therefore the world’s largest wasps, and because of that, fearsome-looking creatures.

They have a sting that can kill humans if stung multiple times, earning their nickname, “murder wasps.”

Beekeepers in the area of discovery have reported piles of dead bees with their heads ripped off, an alarming sight and apparently the sign of the giant wasp’s actions. Obviously, the U.S. doesn’t need another factor Jim Anderson

This is not the Asian Wasp; it is one of our 30 species of treasured native bumble bees! Please treat our native bees kindly and get to know them.

endangering our native pollinators and the honey business.

These monsters are found in the forests and low mountains of eastern and southeast Asia. They live in dens in the ground (as do our native bumblebees), and feed on large insects, including native wasps and the European honeybees, which they are devastating in Japan.

The newest report on the wasp’s presence in the U.S. came in at the end of May from the little town of Custer, Washington, near the Canada border. The monstrous insect was found dead and has been reported by WSU to be a mated queen, which to me, as a former beekeeper, spells bad news. She may have come from a colony of her own, or—worst news—she may have come from a colony already spreading out and she was looking for a new place to build a colony. If so, she may have sisters out looking for the same thing.

While they’re not usually aggressive toward humans, they can be if provoked, claim WSU scientists. Their stingers are big and painful and inject a potent neurotoxin.

So, what do you do if you spot an Asian giant wasp? I would call our local county health department at 541-3227400. If the insect is dead or in pieces, please do all you can to obtain the specimen for further study and identification. No matter how loathsome it may appear, please do not dispose of it; save it in a jar.

The last thing we want to see happen is for these huge invaders to get their feet on the ground — literally — and reproduce.

Standing at the lip of a ski run at the start of the season, about to plunge downward, always elicits a little tug in my belly. What if I forget how to do it? I think… but I never do, and I’m soon happily whisking downward on the snow.

If it’s possible to go downhill so fast on skis, attached to nothing but boots, why does it feel so much scarier to approach basically the same terrain on a zip line, while attached to a harness and a bunch of other safety gear? I don’t know—but standing near the top of Bachelor’s Pine Marten lift, about to zoom down the new zip line, I had that same tug in the belly—only amplified. Cruising down the first line—a vertical drop of 255 feet from the Pine Marten lift—with my boss, Publisher Aaron Switzer, on the zip line to my left, I started to chill a bit and have some fun.

And by the time we hit the third line, the thrilling “Broken Top Drop,” with a span of 3,443 feet and a plunge of 866 feet, I was ready to do it all over again.

The final drop is so steep that there’s a speed limiter to make sure people don’t go too fast. All this, plus those spectacular views of the Three Sisters and Broken Top almost in your face. It’s epic.

Mt. Bachelor’s zip line opened to the public July 4. In prep for that, we got the chance to check it out, and we made a video about it. If you’re not yet sure whether dropping the $99 for an adult pass (or $79 for kids age 10 to 12) is worth it, see it in action first at bendsource.com, and then let the summer zip line fun begin.

Contingencies in a Real Estate Purchase Agreement

Otis Craig Broker, CRS

The 5 Most Common Real Estate Contingencies Explained does the buyer need to be approved for financing of the home, but the home must meet specific criteria in order to qualify for the loan program the buyer is using.

Appraisal Contingency: This runs hand in hand with the financing contingency. In order to secure a loan, the lender requires that the subject property market value is in line with the purchase value. Essentially, the appraisal contingency protects both the buyer and the lender from a sales price that’s over what is considered fair market value.

Title Contingency: The title review contingency allows the buyer the opportunity to verify that the home ownership record is clear of any liens or clouds that could potentially cause issue for the buyer. It allows the buyer to verify that the property does in fact have a clear chain of ownership. Verify and approve of any easements recorded on the property and ensure that no one else can claim ownership or right to the property.

Home Sale Contingency: This contingency is not used as commonly as it once was. It allows a buyer a specified time period to sell their current home in order to complete the transaction on the home they are offering to buy. If the buyer is unable to sell their current home, they can terminate the transaction. Additionally, a seller may also place a contingency that they must be able to find a suitable replacement property in order to complete the transaction with a buyer. These types of contingencies offer little to no assurances of the ability to close and as such have become less common in real estate purchase agreements.

Contingencies are designed as protections to allow for an informed purchase. As always, be sure to discuss any questions on the process with your local real estate professional.

A

contingency in real estate is best explained as a clause in a contract where a specific condition or criteria that must be met in order to continue the forward movement to the next step in the contract. In real estate, a contingency is defined as a condition that must be met by either the buyer or seller in order for the purchase agreement and transaction to continue toward a successful close of escrow. Contingencies serve to protect both the buyer and seller, allowing the opportunity to terminate a transaction without penalty (in most cases) if a contingency condition is not met.

There are several types of contingencies in a residential purchase agreement, but five are most common.

Home Inspection: A home inspection, a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the property being purchased, is a crucial component to any real estate transaction. When a buyer is viewing a home and considering a purchase, they’re looking at what’s readily apparent.

Buyers aren’t able to conduct a detailed examination of the inner workings of the building and assess not only potential safety issues, but structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing issues. The home inspection allows a buyer to take a deeper look at things that may not be readily apparent to a buyer during a showing and at the time of making an offer. This contingency allows the buyer the opportunity to investigate the true condition of the home and approve of the said condition before moving forward in the purchase process.

Financing Contingency: When a buyer has a pre-approval for a loan, this does not guarantee that the buyer will be able to secure financing to purchase a home. The financing contingency allows the buyer the opportunity to apply for a loan and begin the formal loan application process for a specific property. Not only

My roommate just found out her ex-fiance is terminally ill and is likely to pass away soon. Though they had a weird relationship, I can tell she’s taking it pretty hard. I really want to be supportive, but I honestly don’t know what to do or say around a grieving person. I’m worried about saying the wrong thing, especially because I’m really uncomfortable with grief. I told her I am here for her if she needs anything. What do you do and say for a person who’s in such a terrible situation?

--Clueless When we’re around other people, especially other people who are upset, we tend to get uncomfortable with silences and rush to fill them with words. Unfortunately, not being Confucius or the Dalai Lama, we reach into our memory and pull out whichever condolence cliches are closest to the top, like, “Soon he’ll be in a better place.” (Where...an urn?)

Though we mere mortals tend to fail at profundities, we can do profoundly kind acts. What people who are suffering need at a time like this is compassion. Compassion gets confused with empathy (which a number of researchers define as “feeling with” a person).

However, compassion is more than a feeling; it’s empathy with an action plan: the motivation to try to alleviate another person’s suffering.

There’s a temptation to be vague in offering help -- “I’m here for you if you need anything” -- probably because it’s hard to know what would help and also because you want to avoid offering the “wrong” thing. But what really count are your intentions. Consider that she has a lot of emotional weight on her now, and she probably doesn’t have her usual energy for routine chores like making dinner, picking up her prescription, or washing her car. If you step in and do these, let her know it’s about giving her a little help while she’s struggling. It should mean a lot.

You’re telling her she’s not alone, but in a way that doesn’t take poetic eloquence or attempts to cheer her up (because her sadness is uncomfortable for you). The reality is, 80 percent of success in amateur grief counseling is knowing better than to put the “fun” in funeral. The other 20 percent is just showing up -- with pizza and pot edibles.

See Monster Months of quarantine have made FaceTime first dates the new thing.

I’ve been chatting with a few guys on dating apps, and some of them have asked to schedule FaceTimes. Many of my friends have done it, but it still feels weird to me. Though my photos are right in my dating profile, talking with someone over video feels too revealing and not in a good way.

Should I try it anyway, or should I wait until it’s safe to meet in person?

--Resting Shy Face When people advise that you shouldn’t reveal too much on the first date, I think they’re talking about your areolas.

There’s a lot of important information you’re missing when you’re communicating Amy Alkon without seeing someone’s facial expressions. Zoologist Irenaus Eibl-Eibesfeldt, who studied human animals in addition to the kind with paws and tails, explained emotional expressions as “the grammar of social interaction.”

Facial expressions (as well as body language) give us a nuanced understanding of other people’s feelings and intentions in the way punctuation marks shape how we understand a set of words (for example, “Want to eat, Grandma?” versus “Want to eat Grandma?”).

In fact, people will often say one thing with their words (like, “Really, I’m fine”), but to get the whole of what they’re expressing, you need to add the “pictures”: the emotions they’re displaying. For example, social psychologist Dacher Keltner, who researches emotional expressiveness, observes that “when a colleague shows signs of anger -- with tightened lips, furrowed brow, and slightly raised upper eyelid -- I learn that he or she is frustrated, is appraising the current interaction as unfair, will likely act antagonistically, and may feel a sense of righteous indignation.”

Men, especially, have very visually driven sexuality, so if you won’t FaceTime, you’re probably at a disadvantage compared with women who will. Chances are your real fear is that a guy won’t find you attractive. But if a guy’s not that into your looks, a screen won’t change that. Finding out where he stands as soon as possible could keep you from getting attached to somebody you’ll ultimately have to pry yourself away from. On the the other hand, revealing more of yourself will make the right guy more interested. And yes, there are people who even get married without seeing each other’s faces, but just in cultures where the marriage is conditioned on one’s father giving the other’s father 14 goats, five oxen, and a 1967 Subaru.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible,” wrote Libran novelist Graham Greene. His words can serve as a stirring motto for you in the coming weeks. I sense you’re close to summoning a burst of courage—a bigger supply of audacity than you’ve had access to in a while. I hope you’ll harness this raw power to fuel a daring feat that will expand your conception of what is possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “It’s not always easy to tell the difference between thinking and looking out of the window,” wrote poet Wallace Stevens.

That’s a problem you won’t have to worry about anytime soon. The coming weeks will be a favorable phase for you to both think and gaze out the window—as well as to explore all the states in-between.

In other words, you’ll have the right and the need to indulge in a leisurely series of dreamy ruminations and meandering fantasies and playful explorations of your deepest depths and your highest heights.

Don’t rush the process. Allow yourself to linger in the gray areas and the vast stretches of inner wildness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to undertake a transformative vision quest, even if the exigencies of the pandemic require your quest to unfold primarily in your inner realms. The near future will also bring you good fortune if you focus on creating more sacredness in your rhythm and if you make a focused effort to seek out songs, texts, inspirations, natural places, and teachers that infuse you with a reverence for life. I’m trying to help you to see, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase when you can attract healing synchronicities into your world by deepening your sense of awe and communing with experiences that galvanize you to feel worshipful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To love well is the task in all meaningful relationships, not just romantic bonds.” The author and activist

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “One-half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it,” wrote author Sydney Howard. Now would be a perfect time to act on that excellent advice. Is there any obstacle standing in the way of your ability to achieve a beloved dream? Is there a pretty good thing that’s distracting you from devoting yourself wholeheartedly to a really great thing? I invite you to be a bit ruthless as you clear the way to pursue your heart’s desire.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Ellen Goodman writes, “The truth is that we can overhaul our surroundings, renovate our environment, talk a new game, join a new club, far more easily than we can change the way we respond emotionally. It is easier to change behavior than feelings about that behavior.” I think she’s correct in her assessment.

But I also suspect that you’re in a prime position to be an exception to the rule. In the coming weeks, you will have exceptional power to transform the way you feel—especially if those feelings have previously been based on a misunderstanding of reality and especially if those feelings have been detrimental to your mental and physical health.

(March 19): “As

beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration,” said singer Laura Nyro. This is practical advice for you to heed in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, you’re scheduled to enjoy an extended engagement with rich, fertile complexity. The best teachings won’t be reducible to a few basic lessons; rather, they’ll be rife with soulful nuances. The same is true about the splendid dilemmas that bring you stimulating amusements: They can’t and shouldn’t be forced into pigeonholes. As a general rule, anything that seems easy and smooth and straightforward will probably not be useful. Your power will come from what’s crooked, dense, and labyrinthine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may think that playing heavy metal music and knitting with yarn don’t have much in common. And yet there is an annual contest in Joensuu, Finland where people with expertise in needlework join heavy metal musicians on stage, plying their craft in rhythm to the beat.

The next Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship will be July 15-16, 2021. This year’s event was canceled due to the pandemic. If it had been staged, I bet multiple Tauruses would have been among the top ten competitors. Why? Because you Bulls are at the peak of your ability to combine things that aren’t often combined. You have the potential to excel at making unexpected connections, linking influences that haven’t been linked before, and being successful at comparing apples and oranges.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1848, Danish King Frederick VII agreed, under pressure from liberal agitators, to relinquish some of his absolute power. Thereafter, he shared his decision-making with a newly formed parliament. He was pleased with this big change because it lightened his workload. “That was nice,” he remarked after signing the new constitution. “Now I can sleep in every morning.” I recommend him to you as an inspirational role model in the coming weeks. What socalled advantages in your life are more boring or burdensome than fun and interesting? Consider the possibility of shedding dubious “privileges” and status symbols.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Love is the best school, but the tuition is high and the homework can be painful,” writes author Diane Ackerman. I’m guessing that in recent months, her description has been partially true for you Virgos. From what I can tell, love has indeed been a rigorous school. And the tuition has been rather high. But on the other hand, the homework has been at least as pleasurable as it has been painful. I expect these trends to continue for the foreseeable future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some night soon, I predict you’ll have an agitated dream while you’re asleep: a nightmare that symbolizes an unresolved conflict you’re wrestling with in your waking life. Here’s a possible example: A repulsive politician you dislike may threaten to break a toy you loved when you were a kid. But surprise!

There’ll be a happy ending. A good monster will appear in your dream and fix the problem; in my example, the benevolent beast will scare away the politician who’s about to break your beloved toy.

Now here’s the great news: In the days after your dream, you’ll solve the conflict you’ve been wrestling with in your waking life.

Mary McCarthy provides you with a challenge you’ll be wise to relish during the rest of 2020. She writes, “Everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you’re older is that you really must make the self.” McCarthy implies that this epic reorientation isn’t likely until you’ve been on earth for at least four decades.

But judging from the astrological omens, I think you’re ready for it now—no matter what your age is. To drive home the point, I’ll say it in different words. Your task isn’t to find yourself, but rather to create yourself. Don’t wait around passively for life to show you who you are. Show life who you are.

Deschutes Brewery delivers a non-alcoholic dark beer

on-alcoholic beer drinkers resigned to drinking lagers and light beers, check it out: Deschutes Brewery is going dark for you.

On July 8, Bend’s oldest craft brewery released a non-alcoholic Irish Stout—offering a style of N-A beer that, while not unique among the non-alcoholic beer options out there in the world, is not a style that has been widely adopted by other N-A beer makers elsewhere. N-A Stouts are the fringe of this fringe market, if you will.

A press release from the brewery describes the beer as “a traditioN-Al Irish-style stout with coffee-like roasted malt character, light chocolate and a dry, light bodied drinking experience.”

The Source drinking team checked out the new beer this week, delighting in the fact that we didn’t have to wait ‘til the end of the day to sample it (having a buzz on while publishing this paper can lead to more than a few spelling errors…).

Our crack team of beer lovers resoundingly gave the Deschutes N-A Irish Stout a thumbs up. It has a smooth mouthfeel, with a creamy texture, and pours out of the can with a frothy head. With a total alcohol content of half a percent, we could easily see this being a yummy beer to put on a nitro tap, to be enjoyed by desigN-Ated drivers and general beer lovers alike.

And with so many more people choosing to refrain from alcohol these days, developing this product is welltimed. In a study by Berenberg Research, researchers found that study participants in their teens and early 20s were drinking more than 20% less per capita than millennials. In turn, millennials also drank less than baby boomers and

Gen Xers did at the same time in their lives, as Business Insider reported in 2018.

And in a beer industry with flat or declining sales, the companies seeing growth are the ones offering N-A products. The non-alcoholic category had grown at 3.9% per year on average for five years compared with regular beer sectors, The Wall Street JourN-Al reported in 2019. At Deschutes, its product development team is no stranger to that trend.

“This has been a passion project for me,” Veronica Vega, new product development director for Deschutes, stated in the release. “It is a way for us to connect with a growing population of people, including young people, who are looking to reap the health benefits of an alcohol reduced or alcohol-free lifestyle and still enjoy the act of drinking beer.”

Having a local option for N-A beer— and dark N-A beer at that—is a potential game-changer for Deschutes. Thus far, N-A options among Oregon beers are few and far between, and N-A beer drinkers we talked to say the best options still largely come from Germany, where N-A beers are increasingly popular even among those who also imbibe in alcohol.

Those who want to try out the N-A Irish Stout can contact Deschutes Brewery directly at the company website, where it’s offering direct-to-consumer sales for this beer. According to its press release, the company is going to spend some time gathering feedback from customers who order the beer before releasing it more widely later this year. The N-A Irish Stout is also available at Deschutes Brewery pubs and tasting rooms. Ordering is available at deschutesbrewery. com/beer/non-alcoholic-stout/.
