Riding along the Cascade Lakes Highway recently, it was surprising not to see the typical line of cars precariously parked near the Green Lakes trail. With a permit system now in place for that and other popular trails in that area, this week we wanted to know how that permit system is going.

That story makes up part of this week’s Feature coverage, which also includes a story on the Bendite who walked the world for six years straight, as well as some hiking recommendations you might not have experienced in a while (or if you’re new here, ever).

That’s the lighter side of our coverage this week. Following a huge response to our story on the City of Bend’s new policy on street encampments, we’re following up with an opinion piece on possible action steps for residents, businesses, service providers and local governments to tackle the ongoing housing crisis. Enjoy this issue and have a great week, Central Oregon!

OPINION

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 17, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

In a Housing Crisis, Camps in the Streets are Just the Canary in the Coal Mine. Everyone Should Do Their Part.

B

y now, much has been said about the recent sweeps of camps occupied by those without homes in Bend. The advent of a new policy outlining how and when camps will be swept has been met with relief by some; with ire and protest by others.

In a city that continues to outpace the growth of nearly any other city anywhere in the United States, the recent increase in houseless people visible on streets and other public areas is just a canary in the coal mine—a signal of the housing concerns that stretch across the spectrum.

And while protesting against new policies intended to promote health and safety is one tactic to push back against this difficult situation Bend finds itself in, protesting is only one of many actions all of us should be taking. So what can governments, service providers, employers, the general public and the houseless population actually do?

At the local-government level, the City of Bend is recognized as being among the most forward-thinking cities in the state in terms of tackling the housing crisis, having established an affordable housing manager position in 2006, before any other city in the state. And right now, while the wheels of bureaucracy grind slower than most would like, the City is at work on a plan to try to establish a managed camp—or several camps—for houseless people within the next 90 days, Bend City Manager Eric King told the Source Weekly. A City Council subcommittee tasked with developing a plan for using the City’s portion of American Rescue Plan Act funds wants to use some of those funds on a managed camp. An emergency task force on homelessness is meeting later this month with officials from Deschutes County with the idea of teaming up to use portions of the two entities’ ARPA funds for the camp. While many people tend to expect more from city governments than can actually be achieved, planning for camps and the like goes far beyond their primary concerns of managing our infrastructure and ensuring the sewer works when we flush the toilet.

Plans for a managed camp have been discussed now for several years—and it can certainly be frustrating to hear about plans and to continue to see no apparent progress.

On the topic of the managed camp, however, you can thank the pandemic for seeing some progress now. Congress’ allocation of funds to communities like ours means projects that

were pipe dreams before can now, hopefully, move forward.

At the social services and nonprofit level, the entities currently working on addressing homelessness are already stretched thin. Shepherd’s House has only this month taken on the responsibility of running a yearround low-barrier shelter at the site of this winter’s warming shelter—an endeavor that no doubt is straining its resources. When and if a camp is established through funds funneled through city and county ARPA money, some service provider—either from the local area or elsewhere— will need to step up to run it, as that is beyond the scope of local governments. Which entity has the capacity to run a new camp? We’ll see.

At the employer level, businesses can and should be ready to be flexible and accommodating to prospective employees whose housing situations are tenuous. By providing supports, such as signing bonuses or increases in pay or even housing for their employees, businesses can be part of the solution.

At the average-citizen level, more can be done besides showing up to protest or to shout down an elected official at a public meeting. Homeowners currently selling their homes can opt to only sell to locals who want to live in the area. They can opt to rent to longterm renters rather than to vacationers.

They can open up their spare bedrooms to someone looking for housing. Those who have financial resources can donate to the social services agencies working to address housing issues.

Those who have time can volunteer at the shelters already operating.

What average people shouldn’t do, however, is assume that someone else will do the work. Neither should they simply write off the houseless population as a cadre of drug addicts or lazy people who don’t want to work. The people in the local shelters and camps run the gamut of life experience, education and motivation, as we have seen with our very own eyes.

At the houseless-person level, it is unfair and unfeeling to simply say, “wait a little longer” for an appropriate level of support to come their way— but at the same time, it’s true that more help is on the way.

A managed camp is the bare minimum we as Bendites can do to support the people on the lowest rung of a housing crisis that has hit epic proportions. But if you’re not actively working to be part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

BEND CITY COUNCILORS “SIT” FOR PLEDGE The Bulletin’s June 11 editorial posed the question: “Should the Bend City Council no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance before every meeting?” It went on to report: “Already some councilors have not stood and recited the pledge during meetings.” To put it mildly, I was shocked. Why was this even an issue? I wanted to know which of my City Councilors chose to symbolically “take a knee” so I went online to watch the June 2nd City Council meeting: https://bend.granicus.com/player/ clip/651?view_id=9&redirect=true Click on “Roll Call.

DON’T FORGET WORRELL WAYSIDE The Deschutes County Commission meeting of March 29, 2021, resulted in Commissioners Phil Chang and Tony DeBone directing County staff to proceed with a Request for Proposals for a detailed design and construction plans for a reconfigured Worrell Park and expanded Wall Street parking. Commissioner Patti Adair opposed this direction and to removing the large trees at Worrell Park.

According to a memo from Phil Chang this proposal is estimated to cost $2.5 million and would provide additional parking to meet the needs associated with the planned expansion of the Courthouse, reconfigure Worrell Park for more parking and be more useable and functional and to make the Deschutes County Services Building more visible and inviting from Wall Street and the neighborhood.

Worrell Wayside was created by County Commissioners on September 24, 1997, for public purposes. There is nothing else like this 1.29-acre park in the heart of downtown Bend. This is a legacy designation which should be managed and maintained as a park, not be a convenient (and expensive) alternative when additional parking is thought to be needed for a future expansion of the courthouse. Open space is disappearing in our rapidly growing city. A reconfigured Worrell Wayside will be forever changed; its topography, its vegetation, and its primary use as a County Park for the enhancement of public access and recreation.

Visit Worrell Wayside, it’s located next to where you can drop off your

ballot. Take a stroll up one of the trails, observe the view of the Cascades, enjoy the shade of the ponderosa pines and junipers at a bench or table, keep an eye out for watchable wildlife. Contact your commissioners and city council about the need to retain Worrell Wayside as it is. Don’t let this site become a memory.

SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS It is heart-wrenching to see so many people trying to find a place to live in Bend while the City continues to issue short-term vacation rental permits to capitalists whose only concern is making as much money as possible from their houses. When long-term residents lose their rentals for whatever reason, many are forced to leave their city. Even with entire neighborhoods and large apartment complexes being rapidly built throughout Bend, the housing problem remains. Television ads encourage people to rent their spare rooms to people who desperately need a place to live. Homeless people camp in the few vacant lots they can find, and the ones with vehicles camp in the surrounding forest and desert.

Kids learn on Halloween that candy is good but too much makes them very ill.

Similarly, some tourist dollars are good but too many make our city very ill. Shortterm vacation rentals should never have been allowed in our residential neighborhoods to begin with because they are

businesses, not residences.

The short-term vacation rental program that the City of Bend operates should be immediately phased out and no new permits should be issued. If our city councilors will not do this because of the tax dollars which the program brings in, then the elimination of this program should be made a ballot measure. It is unethical, unconscionable, despicable and downright immoral that the holy grail of tourism dollars takes precedence over the suffering of so many of our residents!

The watering of vacant land in the Broken Top Highlands and Tetherow neighborhoods is part of their wildfire mitigation plan. The dry brush and grass are a fire hazard, less so when irrigated. A less attractive alternative might be to clear that land of all wildfire fuel, reducing animal habitat and encouraging erosion (dust).

Pedestrian Avenue

A proposal from Downtown Bend Business Association could change Minnesota Avenue into a walkable plaza

By Jack Harvel

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 17, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

T

he 300-foot-long stretch of Minnesota Avenue between Bond and Wall Street is host to about a dozen businesses at the center of Bend’s historic downtown. A proposal could transform it from a through street to a walkable community gathering space.

The Downtown Bend Business Association was commissioned by the City to create plans for the Minnesota Avenue Pedestrian Plaza, closing that portion of the street to traffic and adding amenities that would attract people downtown. City Manager Erik King came to the DBBA after the newest City Council was elected—some of whom Downtown Bend Business Association

advocate for increased walkability and bikeability in Bend.

“There has been kind of this increasing chatter from the community coming in my direction, wanting more public spaces, spaces to gather walkable spaces in downtown,” said Mindy Aisling, executive director of the DBBA. “So really, this came up in a response to community requests, and our community leaders’ request.”

The idea behind the project is that a community space would both attract and keep people downtown. When these plazas, promenades and pedestrian malls are successful, they often become one of the more attractive features of

towns like Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado, or Church Street in Burlington, Vermont. A CityLab study from 2021 showed increased interest for restaurants after they were converted into pedestrian friendly corridors through analyzing traffic on the app Yelp.

“One of the things that we’ve learned about public spaces is that the businesses along those spaces do spectacular because when people are walking by, when they’re shopping, when they’re hanging out longer, is when they have time to find something that they love,” Aisling said.

There’s a dual purpose to the plaza that it will be targeted to locals but will also be beneficial for businesses attracting tourists.

“One of the things that we hear from our merchants a lot is that they want to see more locals downtown. So we’d really be focusing on how can we make this kind of a center for some local organizations, local fundraising, and of course, it would also become a tourist destination,” Aisling said. “We already know from Visit Bend statistics that almost 70% of visitors come to historic downtown when they visit here, I have no doubt that we’re willing to invest in a project like this, it would be close to 100.”

The plaza’s designs were created by Szabo Landscape Architecture, and if followed would line both sides of the street with trees, create a stage at one end, a “focal feature” like a fountain at the other and fill much of the street with seating.

“One of the things that we learned during the pandemic, is how important the different types of businesses are to each other. When the restaurants were closed, retail suffered,” Aisling said.

Aisling said she’s gotten both support and opposition when speaking with businesses on Minnesota, and she’s hoping that after speaking with stakeholder groups, going public with the design and addressing potential issues with the plaza, more people will be swayed. A meeting with stakeholders on June 11 led to three suggestions: That the City fund a comprehensive downtown plan, that the City commit to building bike parking and public restrooms by between Drake Park and downtown and a suggestion that the City incentivize the public to use the space.

“We’re not looking at this with rose-colored glasses. What we’re trying to do is look at a person’s concern and say, ‘how do we solve that?’” DBBA Board Member Ed Deenihan said.

Businesses’ concerns include potential loss of accessibility for customers, collecting deliveries and potential vagrancy on the plaza.

Downtown Bend Business Association

A map from DBBA shows an overhead view of how the pedestrian plaza will connect with Drake Park and the parking garage on Oregon Avenue.

“It seems like a cool idea on the surface and all of the surrounding bars and restaurants are pushing for it,” the owners of Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe, located on Minnesota, wrote in a Facebook post. “Who’s against it? The majority of retailers on Minnesota, Dudley’s included. 75% of Downtown retailers report a decrease in sales anytime there are street closures.”

The DBBA said with its role keeping downtown clean it already has the experience needed to maintain a plaza.

“We believe that if we’re able to keep it beautiful, clean and filled with positive programming, that will keep away any unwanted behavior that sometimes people are concerned with in downtown districts,” Aisling said.

The programming would be focused on bringing a sense of vibrancy through the plaza through vendor programs, buskers programs and community events that showcase Central Oregon’s diversity.

“We’ve heard a big request from our community that they want a space to celebrate all the diverse cultures in our community, and there’s not really that

gathering space right now,” Aisling said. “This could become a space where we hold the Day of the Dead festival and where we hold our Pride festival, and where we have the space to really celebrate all the different members of our community.”

The plaza is in the very early stage of development and will need to be OK’d by the City before DBBA can move forward finetuning the proposal and seeking funding sources.

“There’s a variety of other people, the City being number one, that we really need to engage with and get on board. That will take some time,” Deenihan said.

DBBA will make its case to the Bend City Council on Wednesday. If they’re supported they will move onto the next steps to create the plaza. If denied they will drop the project. Even if successful, the implementation of a pedestrian plaza on Minnesota is likely years away at this point.

“The answer is kind of that’s unknown at this point, because it would take that next level of research to really identify a timeline and a budget,” Aisling said.

U

n proyecto mural comunitario enfocado en celebrar y brindar más visibilidad a la comunidad Latinx de la zona centro de Oregon ha sido terminado en el túnel ferroviario de la avenida Franklin, en el centro de Bend. El proyecto, titulado Proyecto Mural, reunió a artistas de la región, a un grupo de representantes de Bend Central District y a docenas de voluntarios para terminar el mural que ahora adorna el lado sur del túnel peatonal localizado debajo de las vías del tren a lo largo de la avenida Franklin. El proyecto complementa al mural en el túnel peatonal del lado norte, “Two for Joy,” realizado por la fallecida Kaycee Anseth en 2019.

Como un proyecto creado por la comunidad, las imágenes del proyecto mural representan temas presentados por personas de la región quienes viven o trabajan para BDC y que provienen

de cuatro países latinoamericanos, incluyendo a México, Cuba, El Salvador y Perú. El grupo seleccionó dos artistas de la región, Carly Garzon y Melinda Martinez, para dibujar y pintar las imágenes.

“Era importante traer personas que tenían una variedad de perspectivas y una variedad de cargos,” dijo Janet Sarai Llerandi, fundadora de Mecca Bend, una organización sin fines de lucro de la región que ofrece recursos para la comunidad Latinx de la zona centro de Oregon. Para el proyecto, Mecca Bend se alió con Central Oregon LandWatch (COLW por sus siglas en inglés) – la organización de planificación de políticas y uso de tierras que encabezó la iniciativa Bend Central District para fomentar un vecindario inclusivo, vibrante y mixto al este del centro de Bend.

Como dijo Llerandi, un partícipe resumió el proyecto perfectamente al decir, “Es nuestra estampa en Bend.”

El agregar más arte en la zona es tan solo un elemento a el esfuerzo de no solo traer belleza, pero más seguridad a un área que puede ser insegura para los peatones y los ciclistas que viajan de ida y vuelta a la zona centro y este de Bend.

E

l tramo de 300 pies de la avenida Minnesota a lo largo de las calles de Bond y Wall aloja alrededor de una docena de comercios en el centro histórico de la ciudad de Bend. Una propuesta que podrá transformarlo en un espacio comunitario transitable.

La ciudad de Bend le encargó a la Asociación de Comercios del Centro de Bend (DBBA por sus siglas en

inglés) crear los planes para la plaza peatonal en la avenida Minnesota, cerrando parte de la calle al tráfico vehicular y agregando servicios que pudieran atraer a las personas a la zona centro de la ciudad. El presidente municipal Erik King, fue a DBBA después de que se eligiera el nuevo consejo municipal de la ciudad de Bend –algunos de los cuales abogan por un mayor acceso al tráfico peatonal y de bicicletas en Bend.

La idea detrás de este proyecto es que un espacio comunitario atraiga y mantenga a las personas en la zona centro de la ciudad. Cuando estas plazas, paseos y centros comerciales peatonales tienen éxito, muy a menudo se convierten en uno de los mejores atractivos de la ciudad como lo son la calle Pearl en Colorado o la calle Church en Burlinton, Vermont. Un estudio de la ciudad del 2021 mediante el análisis de la app Yelp mostró un mayor interés por los restaurantes después de haberse convertido en corredores peatonales acogedores.

La plaza está en etapa muy temprana de desarrollo y necesitará ser aprobada por la ciudad antes que DBBA pueda seguir adelante con las adaptaciones de la propuesta y la búsqueda de recursos financieros.

Just Kids

A new Deschutes District Attorney program will attempt to reduce recidivism for younger offenders

By Jack Harvel ability to get a job and housing, much more than a juvenile conviction.

“I feel a responsibility to act on the knowledge I now have. So if someone is a suspect in the crime between the ages of 18 and 25, I will look to treat them as if their case was handled in juvenile court, meaning we’re going to focus on rehabilitation, we’re going to focus on getting them the tools they need to succeed,” Hummel said.

The program will start with 12 firsttime offenders in Deschutes County this summer. The scope is relatively small so the results can be studied before being implemented on a wider scale.

“Now we want to see if it works, so we’re just baby stepping into it,” Hummel said. “If we feel it’s going well, and we’ll probably tweak it a little, we’ll learn a lot more in six months than we

“I’m not aware of a program like this in the country, so it’s exciting and overwhelming to be the first, but we know what we’re doing now isn’t working.”

—Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel don’t want to saddle you with a criminal conviction, because kids are going to do stupid things.”

The program was devised two years ago during a retreat organized by the nonprofit group Prosecutor Impact.

The retreat’s organizers hosted a “Shark Tank”-style competition in which teams competed to create a proposal that would make Deschutes County safer, and the adult pilot program won. The program’s organizers intend to keep the

community safer by reducing the recidivism rate for 18-25 year olds – currently about 60% of that age group will reoffend within three years —and inch closer to that of juvenile convictions.

“Our juvenile department does a great job, so it’s significantly less than 60%,” Hummel said.

Hummel sees the solution as greater services extended to people convicted. The programs in the pilot program will be uniquely tailored to the individual offender, rather than taking a broad approach.

“Some kids might be doing good in school, might have a job that they go to after school and might be living with a substance use disorder; well, we’ll definitely be focusing on that,” Hummel said. “Some kids might be struggling with school, maybe we’ll get them tutoring and require them to not miss class anymore.”

The individualized path for programs will be joined with a conciliatory program between victims and perpetrators.

“Victims have to be made whole in this process,” Hummel said. “If you steal from someone, making the victim whole is going to be a fundamental part of this program.”

The DA’s office will be aided in the program by Deschutes County Behavioral Health Services, Thrive Central Oregon, Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, Community Solutions of Central Oregon and community volunteers. This program is one of Hummel’s unique initiatives he promotes as a self-styled “progressive prosecutor,” which he describes as promoting community safety by addressing crime’s roots in poverty, addiction and mental health rather than the aggressive pursuit of charges against offenders. In 2017, he also started the “Goldilocks” program that softened punishments and encouraged rehabilitation in drug crimes. Hummel said the young adult pilot program is a novel idea, and that he hadn’t heard of anything like it.

“I’m not aware of a program like this in the country, so it’s exciting and overwhelming to be the first, but we know what we’re doing now isn’t working,” Hummel said.

The DA’s Office will assess the program after the summer and make a decision on whether it should be expanded.

eschutes County District Attorney John Hummel is rolling out a pilot program to address a trend that’s been observed since criminology emerged as a field during the 1800s— that young people are much more likely to commit crimes than older people.

Criminal acts become more common starting around age 10 and less common after 25, according to Penn State’s Jeffrey Ulmer and Darrell Steffensmeier. The separation of juvenile and adult courts allows more flexibility for kids in the criminal justice system.

“When we set the age of adult responsibility in criminal court 100 or so years ago we put it at 18,” Hummel told the Source. “If you commit a crime as a 17-year-old, you’re viewed as a kid who doesn’t have a fully developed brain. We use this as a learning opportunity; we

For most humans bitten hard by the travel bug, the itchiness wears off after a year, or maybe less. But for Bendite Angela Maxwell, the wanderlust lasted six years, taking her everywhere from the mountains of New Zealand to the steppes of Mongolia, to the entrancing beauty of Italy. Oh, she walked the whole way.

All those tough-as-nails thru-hikers who traverse the Pacific Crest Trail for a season have nothing on Maxwell, who returned to the U.S. in December and now spends her time speaking and sharing about her journey, as she works on a new project empowering women to live their fullest lives. Though as her own experience taught her, that also means sometimes leaving safety behind.

(Trigger warning: Details of sexual assault to follow.)

In a remote part of Mongolia, Maxwell says she was raped by a nomad while sleeping in her tent—a detail she’s chosen to share with others as a method of healing, and a way to de-stigmatize an experience that is common for so many people around the world. In the U.S. alone, 81% of women and 43% of men report experiencing some type of sexual harassment and/or assault, according to a 2018 study published by Stop Street Harassment.

When some might have chosen to call an end to the journey at that point, Maxwell decided to persevere as a way to move forward and move on, she told me.

This month, I chatted with Maxwell about her trip and what comes next.

Source Weekly: Give our readers some background on your journey and why you did it.

Angela Maxwell: That’s the most nebulous one. And that’s a hard thing to answer sometimes, is the why. But basically, I was living in Bend—I just moved to Bend and I loved hiking, but I was still the day hiker who appreciated going out for the day and then coming home to the shower and the Netflix, and sitting on the cozy couch.

I’ve never really been really sporty, but I always just loved adventure. I grew up reading about Jane Goodall and

stories of Sacagawea. I just love this idea of this adventure. I just kinda traveled the world, but never had anything as big as this. I honestly don’t think I ever did more than a two- or three-day hike. And that was with friends; I never really built a campfire on my own. So, I’m in this art class and heard about someone who was potentially walking around the world— this guy—I thought, oh, that’s brilliant.

And then you take a seed and you can become slightly obsessed with it.

I just started ordering all the adventure books I could. Women who had climbed mountain peaks, and other women who have run around the world and women who have walked through countries.

SW: How long between hearing about the guy and your departure?

AM: Basically, it was about one year.

Essentially, from when I heard about it, I started really thinking, oh my God, this might be something I want to do. The time that I committed was a few months later and I gave myself nine months.

You know, kind of thinking about the creative cost, and women give birth to babies in nine months, so it was a good time for me to figure out how to do this.

SW: I’m curious about some of the logistics. I am fascinated by, like, how you just held the cart. Did you have different positions you could do with your arms and things like that?

AM: I knew backpacking for such long distances would be silly. Places I was going to go, I needed so much water to carry. A lot of people, like especially

people who walked through Australia, raising money for nonprofits and things, did these prams. I started with a pram that was three wheeled so basically all the weight could be on the three wheels, and I just had to push it along. The pram ended up breaking. I was walking across Turkey and after all the weight, and some of the aluminum was folding, it ended up breaking on me and I needed a new one. So, I ended up going with a rickshaw—two wheels and a basic platform, and it allowed me to balance the weight.

So however much water I had and bags, I could balance and so, even though it looked like I’m holding it, ultimately if it was well balanced, I could push that cart with one hand, very gently if the road was flat. Of course, if you get going uphill or downhill all the weight is on you.

SW: How did you plan your route?

Some people are so militant about hitting certain milestones on certain days.

AM: I wanted to do four continents and I jumped into Australia and I thought, OK, I am going to do Asia, Europe and the States. And those just seemed kinda doable, especially being a woman alone.

The other thing was I really want this to be intuitive. I mean, don’t we go on adventures because we get excited about what lies around the corner?

And so I thought, I wanted to be intuitive. But I would always have a sense of OK, I’d generally like to go start in Perth and I want to end in Darwin. Now I don’t know if I want to be more inland, by the ocean or if I’m going to go out more by the desert.

Angela Maxwell

With a goal of spending just $5 per day, Maxwell made the acquaintance of many who offered her hospitality along the way. Sometimes, too, she elicited unwanted attention.

As I navigate, I pick up information and I will read into it and then decide from there.

I did want the walk to take me on a journey. I don’t want to shape my adventure.

SW: (Trigger warning) There were some tough experiences on the journey, too. Would you like to share insight about what you learned following the sexual assault?

AM: I think it’s important to share the story because it continues to perpetuate the sense of forgiveness—of how I chose courage, how each of us can do that, and it was through this experience that I had that helped me to understand that if I could get through this one thing, I could do anything. If I could survive the desert, I could walk anywhere.

And so, in Mongolia, when the nomad came in, it was the middle of the night.

I gave a TedX Talk called “Courage is a Verb,” and that gives a little bit more description, but the challenge is that most girls will experience being molested or being forced to do something sexually that they don’t want to do, and by telling the story of that, I only hope that it would help any other girl move through that and find their ability to thrive and feel good in their bodies and feel safe in the world.

And so that night, when the sexual assault happened, after I gathered up all my stuff, and I’m frantically running in the darkness of the steppes of Mongolia, going, ‘OK, what am I doing,’ there’s no police to go to, there’s no house to go to—the village is another day’s walk— what am I doing? So I just found this little ravine and I realized I have two choices.

I’m at a crossroads. I could go home. My worst fear has just come true, I have now been validated that the world is unsafe.

I’ll just go home, and everyone will understand why I gave up that because of this one experience. Or, I could choose to keep walking. And this is where the stories that women had shared helped me so much. I’m deeply inspired by women who have had to endure incredible hardship and turned around to say, you know what, I’m strong. I can get through this.

Before her journey, Maxwell was a life coach and a business consultant, primarily for women. Following her journey, she’s working on a book. More information on Maxwell and her journey is available at shewalkstheearth.com.

Think You’ve Hiked It All in Central Oregon? Think Again.

Use this first *almost*-post-COVID summer to re-examine some local favorites with new eyes

By Jamie Dawson, Oregon Wild

Bend’s soon-to-be newest Wild & Scenic River: Tumalo Creek This local hotspot is on the docket to gain new protections as a part of Sen. Ron Wyden’s forthcoming River Democracy Act. While that won’t change much for the average visitor, it does mean that this close-in gem will be protected for generations to come.

If you’ve seen Tumalo Falls a million times, consider exploring other parts of the watershed by hiking up the North Fork Trail. Short out-and-back hikes or a larger loop returning via the Farewell Trail are both great options.

Metolius River The Metolius is one of my favorite rivers of all time. The combination of clear, cold water, interesting geology and

beautiful old Ponderosa pines makes it hard to beat. Both the headwater spring and the riverside trail never disappoint, but those looking for some perspective can appreciate the entire watershed from a birds-eye view on the Green Ridge trail.

Stop by Paulina Springs Books on the way out to pick up a wildflower ID book.

Literally anywhere in Central Cascades Wilderness permit area If you’re one of the folks who’s decided to give up on hiking anywhere in the newly permitted part of the Central Cascades, I hope you’ll reconsider. Green Lakes, Broken Top and many other beautiful spots are still out there—and they’re less crowded now! While the permitting process does kill some of the spontaneity, it also might encourage you to try a new trailhead that you wouldn’t normally visit (which, in my experience, has always been worth it). Permits are still currently available for some trailheads, and more will be released on July 10.

Newberry Crater Rim Trail If you’re looking for something a little more challenging, beat the heat and crowds by heading up to the Crater Rim Trail at the Newberry Volcanic National Monument. This trail offers expansive views of the Cascades and surrounding high desert, and the caldera itself tells

a fascinating geologic story. Pro tip: Check out some interpretive signs or spend a few minutes reading about the caldera before heading up for the day. It will blow your mind!

Permits Required: How’s that Going for Ya?

There’s been enough to go around during the early hiking season, but that could change

By Jack Harvel

A

s trail lovers likely already know, the U.S. Forest Service changed how to access the most popular trails in Central Oregon this year to limit the widening of paths and the destruction of wilderness. The new permitting system introduces a $1 fee for day use in 19 of Deschutes’ National Forest’s 79 trails, and a $6 overnight permit.

The traffic on these trails has steadily increased over the years, from 1.8 million in 2013 to nearly 4.5 million last year. The forest is more traveled than most national parks.

“Back in 2017, we started an environmental analysis process to look at solutions for five wilderness areas: Mount Jefferson, Mount Washington, Three Sisters, Diamond Peak and Waldo Lake wilderness, because what we saw was we were getting significant vegetation damage to sort of some alpine areas within these wilderness areas,” said Jean Nelson-Dean, public affairs officer for the Deschutes National Forest.

The program was slated to start in 2020, but with uncertainty related to COVID-19 it was delayed to this year. The Diamond Peak and Waldo Lake wilderness areas were considered safe at current usage, and they’ll keep the system of free, self-issued permits available at trailheads that’s present at Deschutes' 70 other trails.

“One of the other aspects that we’re trying to work on is just also having information for folks about some other great trails,” Nelson-Dean said.

Twenty to 50% of day-use permits for those 19 trails were released on April 6, depending on the trail. The remaining 50-80% will be released throughout the season, with permits for the next seven days available on a rolling basis.

“It’s a constant rolling window. So if it was July 1, and you thought, ‘hey, tomorrow, I’d like to go hiking,’ you can look and if there’s permits available, you can reserve for that day, or any time within that seven-day period,” Nelson-Dean said.

11 VOLUME 25 ISSUE 24 / JUNE 17, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Sunrise or sunset hike in the Badlands Bend’s closest Wilderness area, the Oregon Badlands, doesn’t get the credit it deserves. The twisted ancient junipers and vibrant wildflower shows are beautiful any time of day, but the entire area takes on a special character during those early morning and golden hours.

Watching the sunset from Flatiron Rock is a special high desert experience. For morning hikes, consider a car-key swap with friends so you can hike across the entire Wilderness area.

These are the type of passes most hikers will need to use, since the permits released in bulk at the start of the season have largely dried up.

“There’s not many, the majority are gone. I know that there are some depending on the location,” Nelson-Dean said.

“Last I looked, there were a couple in September for some places, but right now, the availability is really within that seven-day rolling window.”

Hunters, working volunteers and people hiking the 455-mile Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon are exempt from the permit process.

“That was sort of a thing where somebody already has a permitting process that they need to follow and it’s a fairly small group of people with that exception,” Nelson-Dean said.

Nelson-Dean said the permits will not be aggressively enforced in 2021 so people can get adjusted to the new system, but a $200 fine could be issued to anyone who has obviously and continuously not

followed the forest’s rules. So far there have been few conflicts, especially since this early in the hiking season there’s usually enough permits to go around, she said.

“On the ground, it’s going pretty well.

They’ve just had to work with a couple folks who didn’t know about the permit system and there wasn’t availability,” Nelson-Dean said. “I’m sure when it gets to July and August there may not always be availability.”

The impact of the permitting system will be studied continuously by the Forest Service, but it’s unknown what restoration will look like.

“Who knows, but I don’t think in 10 years, people are going to stop going into the wilderness areas and wanting to hike and things like that,” Nelson-Dean said.

“There’s no plan once we start seeing improvements, we’re not going to open the floodgates again, let them get damaged, then close it up again, and start over. The goal is to maintain these for future generations.”

The Moony Awards Are Coming Vote to help celebrate some of your favorite musicians and bands in Central Oregon

By Isaac Biehl Gary Calicott

This is it! The issue you’ve all been asking about.

The Best Of Ballot Issue

contains the actual ballot our readers use to vote for the winners of the highly coveted Best of Central Oregon Reader Poll!

Don’t miss your opportunity to campaign for votes by advertising in this one of a kind edition!

RESERVE YOUR AD SPACE TODAY! 541.383.0800 | advertise@bendsource.com Why does Eric Leadbetter look so stoked? You would be too if you had three Moony nominations!

L

ocal radio station 92.9 FM and Silver Moon Brewing are putting together a night of celebration that recognizes all of the great music in Central Oregon—but they need our help to decide on some winners first.

The event, dubbed The Moony Awards, will run from June 24-26 with the final night being a night of awards and recognition for Central Oregon musicians and bands. The winners of each category will be decided on by the people of Central Oregon. All people have to do is go online to backyardbend.com/vote to see the categories and make their selections.

The Moonys include eight different categories with over 40 different nominees to choose from. The categories featured are Most Original Artist, Best Cover Band, Best New Artist/Band, Best Americana/Country Artist, Best Hip-Hop/Dance Artist, Best Live Band, Best Solo Artist and Best Rock Band. As someone who consumes a ton of music, it’s really great to see that a variety of genres and performers in the area will be shown love for all of the great entertainment they bring to the community.

Local musicians are stoked, too. Eric Leadbetter, a staple in music around Bend, received three different nominations, one for Best Solo Artist following his debut album release for “Middle Ground,” and the other two (Best Live Band and Best Rock Band) for his work with the Leadbetter Band.

“I am honored to be considered for a Moony Award! The amount of musical talent in Central Oregon is unlike anything else I’ve experienced, and I’m so grateful to be part of this team,” says Leadbetter. “I’m workin’ hard to bring quality entertainment to this community I love, so I appreciate the love coming back!”

My personal favorite category to look out for is Best New Artist. The nominees there include Wyelow, Izzy Lavinsky, Olivia Knox, Profit Drama, Bella Cooper and Jeshua Marshall, who embarked down the solo-artist path recently. Each artist brings something different to the table and their sounds are all distinct from one another. If you haven’t seen them play live yet, be sure to check out their music online so you can make a proper vote. The music in Central Oregon just keeps on improving as more artists like these begin to release music.

Knox, who saw a growth in exposure through Tik Tok during the pandemic, is thrilled and excited to be named amongst the rest of these musicians.

“I am so surprised by this cool nomination! I have been so blessed to work with some amazing talent in Bend and I’m just honored to be a nominee,” she said.

Don’t forget to go online and cast your votes for The Moony Awards. Winners will be announced on June 26 at Silver Moon Brewing.

As Die Antwoord can attest, procuring concert ticket refunds can be a poke in the eye.

I

magine, for a moment, that it’s the spring of 2019. You’re sitting in a cafe, not a mask in sight, reading about the pros and cons of Bitcoin, when your best friend walks in and tells you that tickets to see one of your favorite bands have just gone on sale.

Without hesitation, you go to the venue’s website and, after rolling your eyes at the exorbitant service fees, proceed to drop $100 on a pair of tickets.

Cryptocurrency be damned, you tell yourself, this is too good to pass up.

Back in the spring of 2019, legions of loyal Die Antwoord fans made that same decision. Lured by the South African duo’s strange mix of hip-hop theatrics, District 9 aesthetics, blank parody and art-school excess, they pounced on the chance to buy tickets for the band’s 2019 House of Zef Tour.

At the time, they had no idea they were sinking their money into a tour that would be postponed not once, not twice, but three times. The third round of postponements, which were announced in late March, asks fans to believe that the 2019 House of Zef Tour will finally take place in early 2022, nearly three years after the tickets first went on sale. The duo is tentatively set to play Portland Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Jan. 25, 2022.

Given Die Antwoord’s dadaist tendencies, it’s easy to imagine all this as some form of next-level performance art. The problem is that it has realworld consequences.

“Promoters are waiting until the last minute to announce that shows aren’t happening,” the frontwoman of a veteran punk band told me last summer, “because if their shows are canceled, then people’s money is refunded. And if their money is refunded, then the

promoters could go bankrupt. So we had Australian fans going, ‘Are you coming or not? Like, what is going on?’ And we were not allowed to say anything until new dates were actually in place.”

Making matters worse is the fact that, when shows finally do get postponed, it’s not always easy for fans to get their money back. In the case of Die Antwoord, Ticketmaster sent ticket holders a single email announcing the postponement and giving them just one month to go online and request a refund. Miss the deadline and your interest-free loan to parent company Live Nation is extended for another year.

Not everyone is happy with Live Nation’s COVID refund policies.

Responses have ranged from a class-action suit, which was filed by a frustrated fan who’d bought tickets to see two Rage Against the Machine reunion shows, to five members of Congress who are demanding that the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission launch an immediate investigation into allegations of “potentially unfair, deceptive and anti-competitive practices.”

Meanwhile, back in Die Antwoord, the South African duo is making headlines again, after being dropped “by mutual agreement” from the U.K.’s ALT+LDN festival lineup. The decision follows a series of complaints from other festival performers about a viral video of Yolandi Visser shouting homophobic slurs at a tourmate. Ironically enough, it was the same leaked video that resulted in the cancellation of their first House of Zef Tour. (Dates for the latest rescheduling of this outing, by the way, have been announced.)

In related news, Bitcoin is now worth seven times what it was in the spring of 2019.

CHOW Different Name, Same Authentic Meat Pies

LITTLE BITES

Duda’s Aussie Pie Truck is now Jackaroo Pies

C

onsidering that the harsh Central Oregon winter of 2016 birthed Duda’s Aussie meat pies, it’s not surprising that the COVID-19 pandemic became an opportunity for the local pie-makers to get even more creative with their humble handmade comfort foods.

“I think people appreciate those businesses that didn’t just throw their hands up in the air and say, ‘We can’t do it,’ but instead said, ‘Let’s try this and let’s try that and let’s try to help the community,” says Duda’s Aussie Meat Pie founder and chief pie-maker Amy Duda.

When COVID shut everything down last March, Amy and her husband Josh decided to step away from their partnership in Duda’s Billiards Bar, with the blessing of Josh’s business partner/father, who agreed to keep the bar going on his own while his son and daughter-in-law focused on their food truck and pie-making business. The couple kept their food truck (formerly Duda’s Aussie Pie Truck) at On Tap on Bend’s east side but changed the name to Jackaroo Pies. According to Amy, who hails from the small, Australian coastal town of Coffs Harbour, a jackaroo is a young guy who works on a sheep farm in her homeland. Jackaroo is also her young son Jack’s nickname.

The birth of Jack in 2018, along with the pandemic striking last year, were the impetuses for the couple to get out of the bar business and focus more intently on the pie-making business. Amy admits that it was very scary in the beginning, especially last spring when everything was shut down. She calls it an “unbelievable blessing” that they were able to keep their truck open the entire time, often focusing on community service.

They delivered donated lunches to hospital workers, for example, and started Courtesy Jackaroo Pies

doing porch deliveries so people didn’t have to leave their homes to have fresh, hot pies. They also became a fixture at the Northwest Crossing Farmers Market last year, viewing it as an opportunity to penetrate a different area of Bend. Plus, they got their products into local grocery stores (Newport Avenue Market, Market of Choice, Locavore and Food 4 Less).

“COVID forced us to diversify,” explains Amy. “It was such a shock and when we didn’t have the bar anymore; the little food truck had to completely support our family.”

As scary and as stressful as it may have been, Amy says it’s been going well.

“Bend is such an amazing community in terms of supporting local businesses and supporting small businesses.” It’s that local support that has Jackaroo Pies anticipating a busy summer; they’re back at the NWX market again this year and will be at Munch & Music every Thursday night in Drake Park July 8 through Aug. 12. They hope to get their pies, pasties and rolls into even more grocery stores, but as Amy emphasizes, growing the business has to be done carefully.

“We have to be able to keep up with what we’re doing now and keep putting out a great product and great service. Plus, I’m expanding, too—we’re having another baby, due in October, so I’m hesitant to put too much on my plate.”

The Jackaroo Pie origin story really began in the winter of 2016, when the newlywed Amy was homebound awaiting her green card. In search of indoor hobbies and also a bit homesick for Australia, she began making the comfort foods she grew up with, including meat pies— Australia’s national dish. That experimentation continued during a three-month cross-country RV trip with her new husband and their four dogs. They searched for “Aussie Pie Shops” in every city they visited and baked their own versions of pies in their small RV oven. Back in Bend, they were on a mission to introduce Central Oregon to Australia’s staple.

Now, five years down the road, the Aussie-inspired, Oregon-made Jackaroo Pies features pies made from scratch, by hand. Options include the traditional beef pie, the sought-after Ned Kelly with beef, brown gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese, a curried vegetable pie, a couple of vegan options, sausage rolls, a very popular spinach and feta roll, a vegetarian breakfast pasty and several other menu items.

Locals in and around Madras have a new way to access the food grown in the region, with the opening of the Madras Farm-to-Table Market. The City of Madras is host to the new market that takes place at City Hall Plaza in Madras every Friday. The market opened on Memorial Day and will have its final market around Labor Day. It’s open Fridays from 2 to 6pm.

“The vendors at this market come from our own Jefferson County agricultural community,” the City of Madras detailed on its Facebook page. “We hope this new event will build strong relationships between our urban and agricultural communities, provide our citizens with easier access to fresh, healthy products and boost the economies of our local farmers and ranchers.”

Foods available at recent markets have included meats such as beef, pork, chicken and lamb, honey, berries, eggs, tomatoes, tomato starts and milk. The Madras Farm-to-Table Market posts regular updates on what’s available at its Facebook page, facebook.com/madrasfarmtotable.

the Right Sing SCREEN Do “In the Heights” brings Broadway home

I

Thing” except without racial tension or the simmering threat of violence. In fact, all of the drama of “In the Heights” is on a much smaller scale than I expected. The tension all comes from character relationships as opposed to making a larger statement about racism and violence in the city.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the damn visionary behind such American masterworks as “Step Up 2: The Streets,” “Step Up 3D” and… “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” (one of these things is not like the other ones), Chu adds so much energy and beauty to some of the musical numbers that it’s hard not to get swept up in the old-fashioned sense of joy that the best movie musicals can provide.

This is for people who struggle to afford to pay rent in the neighborhood they grew up in and don’t know whether to stay and keep fighting or leave and start over. coolness. As a pretty big fan of “Hamilton,” I was excited they had made a movie out of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first Broadway sensation, as I had zero familiarity with it before it was announced.

With music and lyrics by Miranda, created from a book by Quiara Alegria Hudes, “In the Heights” follows a group of mostly Dominican characters over three days leading up to a blackout in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan. The film feels like a less dramatic version of “Do the Right

“When the Sun Goes Down” is a beautifully choreographed song and dance between Corey Hawkins and Leslie Grace along the side of an apartment building, with the characters falling in love as they defy gravity running up and down the walls. The number gave me goosebumps and it should stand the test of time as one of the best musical set-pieces since the heyday of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

Miranda brings his trademark flows to the lyrical style, and while none of his

The Magic of Cinema meets the Magic of Broadway.

bars reach the, ahem, heights of “Hamilton,” it’s easy to see why the show propelled him into an entirely new level of popularity. The characters and the story feel honest and the drama feels authentic to the story instead of manufactured to try to make a point. Instead of violence and racism and slowly building hatred, the real villain of “In the Heights,” aside from U.S. immigration policy, is gentrification.

Washington Heights is becoming unrecognizable to its inhabitants, so instead of the film being about how this change drives everyone into becoming more isolated and angry, almost every song and dance number is about community and love and being a part of something bigger than yourself.

It’s a lovely sentiment and something far more uplifting and current and

culturally relevant than I was expecting.

The songs might not be quite as good as in “Hamilton,” but “In the Heights” has a bigger heart and stronger characters. This definitely won’t get Boomers into rap music like “Hamilton” did, but that’s good. This isn’t for them. This is for people who struggle to afford to pay rent in the neighborhood they grew up in and don’t know whether to stay and keep fighting or leave and start over.

“In the Heights” takes a stand that your community isn’t the place where you are, but the people you’re with and the family that you’ve created. Now that’s something to sing about.

didn’t know this before yesterday, but apparently musicals are an acquired taste. I thought everyone liked musicals. Isn’t “The Sound of Music” one of the most popular movies of all time? I also don’t know a single human person who doesn’t love “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” or “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” With all of these obviously incontrovertible facts known and accepted, I spent all weekend trying to get someone to go see the new musical, “In the Heights” with me, to no avail.

Tips for hiking with kids GO HERE

How to get your kids on the trail and have fun

Juneteenth Central OR

By Sarah Mowry

25

Juneteenth events celebrate emancipation and freedom.

Celebrate Juneteenth in Central Oregon Events highlighting Freedom Day and a march to take back the Butte A butterfly on the nose always adds fun to outdoor adventures.

younger kids is finding a hike that is easy for them. Think low mileage, little uphill, with lots of pint-size rewards. Luckily, here in Central Oregon, we have hordes of trails to choose from and entire books/ resources dedicated to hiking with kids.

Adjust your expectations and embrace all those 1-2 mile hikes, and one last bit of advice: exercise first. OK, this may seem obvious, but I definitely tried to have my early hikes with my kids do double duty.

Who has time to go hiking and work out? Not this mom. However, it rarely worked! It meant I was intent on longer and farther, and the kids not so much!

Chocolate…err…Supplies. Prep for your hike with lots of extras. Extra water, extra snacks, first aid (band aids….lots of those!), extra layers and of course, chocolate. That way you are ready when someone runs out of steam, spills their water, gets cold or just needs a pick-me-up. I fully embrace bribery and had a standing “M&M fuel station” policy for our hikes for many years. This is probably on some “what not to do” parent list, but, hey, it got us a little farther down the trail.

Just add water. It’s summer! Adding water fun to your hike will help everyone enjoy the hike even more.

Deschutes Land Trust

Hikes along creeks or rivers offer lots of opportunities for toe dipping, waterfalls offer cooling mist and lakes offer the ultimate space for cannon ball practice. Don’t forget those smaller creeks in the region that are perfect for wading or floating tiny, fairy-sized rafts down!

Meander. As adults, I think we often forget that the journey is just as important as the destination for your hike. When hiking with kids, taking the time to explore is key to your success.

Let your kids lead and be the ones to spot and check out something interesting. Kids are great explorers and see so much more than we adults do! Take the time to smell the lovely vanilla/butterscotch scent of the ponderosa pine, watch the ants march in and out of their mound, try to get a butterfly to land on your nose (they like the salt!), these are the experiences that make memories.

Make it fun! Finally, fun should be a key element in your hike plan. If we really want our kids to love hiking, love the outdoors (and hopefully help care for it one day), we want them to have an enjoyable time. Incorporate games as you go, take the time to explore (see above), skip rocks, sing songs and whistle with grass. Bring butterfly nets, bug jars and hand lenses! Our favorite trail games: scavenger hunts and Pooh sticks!

Now that school is out, take some time this summer to hike with your kids. Hiking (or meandering!) with kids can be a fun way for the whole family to connect with the natural world. The more we connect our kids with nature, the more likely they are to grow into awesome teens and adults who want to help care for the planet into the future. We need more of those!

On June 19, 1865, Union Army General Gordon Granger proclaimed freedom from slavery in Texas. Since then, Americans continue to celebrate Juneteenth and emancipation in the United States.

The annual holiday will be celebrated locally this year, thanks to several nonprofits and community organizations coming together to host a family-friendly event. Speakers will share the history of Juneteenth in our community. Music, food, dancing and educational exhibits will be available all day. The organizers say an event of this type is more important than ever this year, “Given the increased awareness and widespread protests that have occurred over the past 12 months around longstanding injustices and inequities in our society.”

In addition to raising awareness, The Father’s Group event page states the focus of this year’s event is on the housing crisis in Central Oregon. Education around the systemic issues that lead to housing inequity in our area will be offered. Service providers, city officials and more will be on site throughout the day to collaborate on solutions and share resources.

Another event scheduled for Juneteenth aims to raise awareness about the history of white supremacy in the local community. The Central Oregon Black Leaders Assembly is planning the second annual Take Back the Butte March for June 19. According to COBLA and the Deschutes Historical Society, in the 1920s, Pilot Butte was used by the KKK to burn crosses and hold meetings. COBLA hopes the march provides an opportunity to bring Central Oregonians together to address the past and move forward in unity.

chool’s out for summer! (I hope you sang that in your best Alice Cooper rock voice!) For those of you with kids, this week heralds the arrival of summer—that precious window of time chock full of summer camps, playing outside and swimming in our lakes and rivers. Like many Central Oregon parents, one of my favorite outdoor activities is taking some summer hikes with my kids. Though we hike together year round, we all cherish those summertime hikes with more time to linger, swim and enjoy warm days.

I’ve been hiking with my kids since they were babies. First in carriers, then holding the hands of toddlers, shorter hikes with kindergarteners and now backpacking with my almost (gasp) teenagers. While my kids love being outside, I wouldn’t say they both LOVE hiking. In true sibling fashion, one loves it and will hike all day; the other likens it to torture. Yes, I know, I should have probably given up long ago, but last summer we had an epiphany which made me think the last 11 years of foot dragging have been worth it! After hiking our way up to the viewpoint on Tam MacArthur Rim, my 10-year-old turned to me in awe of the view and said, “Is this why you go hiking, mom?” Indeed, there is so much more to hiking than the first (and sometimes only!) half mile of trail!

So, if you are in the throes of toddler land or have young kiddos, hang in there, fellow parents! You, too, can get there with your kids—even the reluctant ones. Though I’m by no means an expert on hiking with kids—believe me, we’ve had plenty of meltdowns and forgotten shoes—here are a few tips I’ve learned over the years to plan a successful hiking trip with your kids, especially the small ones: Choose your route wisely.

Celebs + Cannabis

Pros and cons to having stars enter the biz WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 17, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Josh Jardine

L

ately, some of the people I’ve seen play pretend on my “story box,” or perform music or play professionally with a sportsball, earning them millions of dollars, are becoming involved in cannabis. These celebrities are pushing cannabis in many forms, and the term “celebrities” should by no means diminish the activist work performed by any of these folks on behalf of medical use, legalization, etc.

Celebrities such as Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg, who between them have potentially consumed hundreds of pounds of cannabis over decades? No one has ever said, “I was not aware that Mr. Nelson/Dogg enjoyed partaking of the pot weed.

This is new information to me.”

Both have made cannabis part of their brands over the years and have lent their name to various cannabis endeavors including websites, strains of weed, vape cartridges and much more. More power to them.

Perhaps the foremost name associated with cannabis is Bob Marley.

Marley’s widow Rita and his 11 children formed Marley Naturals, which is backed by investment group Privateer Holdings. (Privateer CEO Brendan Kennedy told Merry Jane, “Bob Marley is more closely tied to the product than anyone we could think of... In some places people even say, ‘Let’s go smoke a Bob Marley.’” No, “they” do not, Brendan. No one you want to get high with says that.)

“Closely tied to the product” is telling—not weed, marijuana or cannabis—the “product.” There are celebrities who are getting involved into cannabis strictly because this is a “product” that will provide a high ROI. (Good return type high, not…)

This includes the man Metalblast. net published a fascinating think piece on, “Top 5 Reasons Why Gene Simmons Is A Piece Of Shit.” The frontman of KISS has invested $10 million into Invicutus, a Canadian cannabis producer. Yet he admits he has never smoked pot, and told CNN Money, “I’ve got $10 million wrapped up in the stock because I believe in it. For me, it’s a business move.” Is someone who’s never smoked cannabis someone I need to hear from? Nope.

This isn’t to say that celebrities shouldn’t profit from the recreational cannabis industry, which many believe is poised for national legalization. Tommy Chong is as synonymous as anyone with cannabis, and has been more than just a stoner archetype. In 2003, Chong was sentenced to 9 months in federal prison, fined $20,000, and forfeited over $100,000. His sole “crime” was

Snoop Dogg performing at Hove Festival in 2012.

selling 7,500 bongs and pipes from his website Nice Dreams.

Chong did time for selling bongs, credits cannabis use for curing his cancer, and his screen work is arguably the precursor to all stoner comedies of the past 50 years. His brand, Chong’s Choice, supports a true OG for the cause, whom I would rather support than someone like Simmons. Plus, KISS sucks. No, seriously. They suck.

Athletes who used cannabis during and post career have also come onboard. Al Harrington played 16 seasons in the NBA and became a cannabis convert after a botched knee surgery.

He started Viola, a vape cart and extract company carried in several states. Mike Tyson established a 40-acre “cannabis resort” in the California Desert, including 20 acres of cultivation, an edibles factory and an amphitheater. (In 2000, Tyson had a winning TKO decision changed to “no contest” after testing positive for cannabis.)

A lack of access to capital and loans via traditional banking systems limits options for cannabis businesses. Partnering with a celebrity, and their often deep-pocketed partners, can be a much needed lifeline to a cannabis brand. But providing easier access to capital would allow craft cannabis businesses to stay independent while expanding their operations.

The people who produce the best cannabis often aren’t public figures.

Let’s hope there will soon come a time when they are recognized alongside other agricultural-based superstars such as chefs, brewers and vintners, and as celebrities in their own right.

Part of normalization of cannabis means acknowledging that the people growing and processing the cannabis you enjoy are just as worthy of attention as a former sitcom star, musician or athlete, and perhaps more so.

An intimate series of concerts set in three beautiful Central Oregon locations.

Seating is limited to 300 tickets. Reserve now.

I could be boiled like water and made pure again,” writes poet Jeffrey McDaniel. Judging from the current astrological omens, Gemini, I think you could be made reasonably pure again without having to endure an ordeal like being boiled like water.

Do you have ideas about how to proceed? Here are mine: 1. Spend 15 minutes alone. With your eyes closed, sitting in a comfortable chair, forgive everyone who has hurt you. Do the best you can. Perfection isn’t necessary. 2. Spend another 15 minutes alone, same deal. Forgive yourself of everything you’ve done that you think of as errors. Perfection isn’t required. 3. Spend another 15 minutes alone.

Imagine what it would be like to unconditionally love yourself exactly as you are. 4. Spend another 15 minutes alone. Remember ten amazing moments that you enjoyed between ages five and 13.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): On June 23, 1940, Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely to a family that already had 19 other children. During her childhood, she suffered from pneumonia, scarlet fever, polio, and infant paralysis. The latter two diseases damaged her left leg, and she wore a brace until she was 12 years old. Nevertheless, by the time she was in high school, she had become a very good athlete. Eventually she competed in the Olympics, where she won four medals and earned the title “the fastest woman in history.” I propose that we name her your official role model for the rest of 2021. May she inspire you to overcome and transcend your own personal adversity.

Travers wrote the children’s books about Mary Poppins, a nanny with magical powers. She was thoroughly familiar with folklore, ancient myths, and the occult.

The character of Mary Poppins, Travers said, was a version of the Mother Goddess. But in her writing process, she drew inspiration mainly from what she thought of as the vast dark nothingness.

She wrote, “I’ve become convinced that the great treasure to possess is the unknown.” To generate her tales, she listened to silence and emptiness. I recommend you emulate her approach as you create the next chapter of your life story.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo poet Melissa Broder writes, “Romantic obsession is my first language. I live in a world of fantasies, infatuations and love poems.” I wouldn’t normally authorize you to share her perspective, but I will now. The astrological omens suggest you have something important to learn from being more enamored and adoring than usual. If you say YES to the deluge of yearning, you’ll gain access to a type of power that will prove very useful to you in the coming months.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Oscar Wilde disproved the misconception that Libras are wishy-washy, overly eager to compromise, and inclined to overthink everything. His writing had wit and flair, and his life was vivid and daring. He wrote, “There are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.” I suspect that one of those pivotal moments will soon be coming up for you. Be Wilde-like!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Philosopher Simone Weil wrote, “Only the light that falls continually from the sky gives a tree the energy to push powerful roots into the earth. The tree is actually rooted in the sky.” As you bolster your foundations in the coming months, as you deepen your roots, I hope you keep Weil’s brilliant observation in mind.

Like a tree, the nourishment that will help you grow the stamina and strength and structure you need will come as you turn to the brightest, warmest, highest sources of inspiration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To be in groovy alignment with cosmic rhythms, you won’t merely walk, and you certainly won’t trudge.

Rather you will saunter and ramble and promenade. You will strut and rove and prowl. Likewise, you won’t just talk, and you certainly won’t mutter or grumble. Instead you will banter, rhapsodize, improvise, beguile, and lyricize. Catch my drift?

You won’t simply laugh, but will chortle, cackle, and guffaw. In other words, Sagittarius, you are authorized to imbue everything you do with style, panache, and imagination.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Congratulations on being such a duty-bound, no-nonsense adult. May you continue to ply your dogged persistence and beast-of-burden attitude as long as it gets important tasks done, helps you feel useful, and doesn’t make you sick. But if you do get tempted to depart from the sacrificial path anytime soon, please know that you will not offend any gods or demons. Nor will you incur a karmic debt.

In fact, I believe you have cosmic clearance to dabble with lightheartedness for a while. You should feel free to experiment with fun and games that appeal to your sense of wonder.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no melancholy,” wrote poet Charles Baudelaire.

What?! That makes no sense. I’m aware of millions of beautiful things that aren’t tinctured with melancholy.

California’s Mount Shasta in the late spring twilight, for example. New York City’s Guggenheim Museum, a gorgeous gleaming building designed by genius architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Marmore waterfalls in central Italy. The gardens of painter Claude Monet in Normandy, France.

David Byrne’s gloriously hopeful website, ReasonsToBeCheerful. world. I mention this, Aquarius, because I expect life to bring you a flood of non-melancholic beauty in the coming days. Take advantage of this grace to replenish your trust in life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author César Aira praises the value of escaping one’s memories. He writes, “Forgetting is like a great alchemy free of secrets, transforming everything to the present.” I’d love to see you enjoy alchemy like that in the coming weeks, dear Pisces. It’s a favorable time to lose at least some of the inhibitions and limitations you think you have to accept because of what happened in the past. As Aira says, forgetting “makes our lives into a visible and tangible thing we hold in our hands, with no folds left hidden in the past.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries playwright Tennessee Williams was honest about the trickery he engaged in as he composed his entertaining masterpieces. “I don’t want realism,” he exclaimed. “I want magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people.” I fully support you, Aries, if you would like to make that your goal in the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, you and the people in your life have more than a mild need for magic. Your ability to thrive depends on you all getting big doses of magic.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): On my wall is a poster that says, “Avoid the Tragic Magic Triad: taking things too personally, taking things too seriously, and taking things too literally.” This advice doesn’t refer to important matters, like my health or my ongoing fight against our culture’s bigotry.

I take those issues very personally, seriously, and literally. Rather the motto refers to trivial and transitory issues, like the new dent made in my car by a hit-and-run driver in the Whole Foods parking lot, or the bad review of my book on Amazon.com, or the $18 that a certain Etsy seller cheated me out of, or the joke about the size of my nose that some supposed friend made on Twitter. According to my reading of astrological omens, Taurus, you would benefit right now from meditating on things like these that you take too seriously, personally, and literally. Here’s Don Miguel Ruiz: “There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.”

TRAPPING • GASSING • RESULTS

I broke up with a guy I dated very briefly and said it’d be best for me if we didn’t maintain contact. He respected this for a while, but he’s suddenly all over my social media, not just “liking” but often “loving” my posts. I hate being led to think about him. Is there a kind way to ask him to stop?

—Creeped Out Sometimes a person fails to grasp that “It’s best we don’t maintain contact” means “Go away forever, human stain.”

You’re being “orbited,” culture reporter Anna Iovine’s word for when an ex lurks on your social media posts: showing up as one of your “story viewers” on Instagram or liking your tweets or Facebook posts. This sounds benign, but orbiting is a form of stalking.

Stalking is a confusing term because the behavior involved isn’t always considered criminal.

The U.S. Department of Justice defines stalking as “engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress.”

Laws against stalking vary across states, but causing fear in the victim is typically essential for stalking to be a crime.

Outside the criminal sphere, stalking is sometimes referred to by researchers as “unwanted persistent pursuit”: repeated behavior that bothers or distresses the victim, often sucking their time and attention and creeping them out.

Noncriminal stalking like this can escalate to the criminal kind—and can turn deadly, reports evolutionary psychologist David Buss in his new book, “When Men Behave Badly: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault.” Though stalkers are usually male, Buss acknowledges that women become stalkers, too.

An infamous female stalker is former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak—a case you might remember not so much for the crime but for the diapers.

In 2007, Nowak drove from Houston to Orlando wearing an adult diaper to avoid being slowed down by bathroom stops. She was off to confront (and possibly kidnap and harm) Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman, the slim, pretty blonde 10 years her junior whom NASA astronaut Bill Oefelein had dumped her for a few weeks prior. Gwendolyn Knapp, in Houstonia magazine, reports that Nowak was seen in surveillance video disguised in a black wig and hat following Shipman around the Orlando airport for three

hours—before attacking her with pepper spray in the parking lot.

Shipman told “Inside Edition” in 2017, “I... still have anxiety,” and media reports often claim stalking is motivated by a desire to cause fear. However, making a victim afraid as the ultimate motivation for romantic stalking makes little sense (save for the few sadists in the population who get off on causing pain). Research by evolutionary psychologist Joshua Duntley and Buss suggests romantic stalking is a form of “mate guarding”: evolved tactics—from coercion to showering affection to gift-giving—used to keep one’s romantic partner from bolting or being poached.

Understanding, as Buss explains, that a “key goal” of romantic stalkers is to “reunite with the (former) partner” sheds light on your situation. You might be tempted to minimize the guy’s behavior because it’s happening in the virtual world.

However, stalkers aren’t just exes hiding in your bushes with binoculars. It’s stalking just the same when somebody’s sitting in the bushes on social media, watching your life and signaling their unwillingness to accept your “no contact” terms by posting “likes” they know you’ll see. The message: “Here I am, refusing to leave you, but in a way you’d probably feel dumb complaining about!”

Sure, you could politely but firmly tell him to stop—“I’d prefer that you not post anything on my social media”—and explain why you need this. However, Buss writes that one of the strategies stalking experts most frequently recommend is “ceasing all contact with the stalker.” Because you’re being cyber-stalked, the ideal way to do this is blocking him on all your social media. Say nothing. Just block. Buss also advises you consider taking your accounts private for a while or “staying off social media as much as possible.” If contact escalates, shore up security in your home with locks, motion sensor lights, and video surveillance; document all contact; and notify the police.

Blocking without explanation might seem unkind and perhaps a little paranoid. However, Buss explains that “stalkers often construe any interaction” with the person they’re pursuing “as rewarding,” even if it’s negative. “Reasoning and logic rarely work. They give the stalker hope that the romantic relationship can be renewed.” And this could lead to situations you’d surely like to avoid. As the romantic cliche goes, “You’ll find love when you’re not looking for it”—like when it breaks in and stands over your bed, watching you sleep.

Escalation Clauses Versus Terms

Broker, CRS

What is the best approach in a seller’s market?

Another thing to consider is the home inspection contingency. Some buyers opt to waive the contingency all together, while another tactic can be to shorten the duration of the inspection period and writing in the offer that the buyer will not ask for any repairs that are discovered in the home inspection up to a specific dollar threshold. For example, a buyer waiving all repairs up to $3,000. This gives the seller some peace of mind that there will not be any unexpected costs or renegotiation of the purchase price.

Another contingency that can be addressed to make an offer competitive is the appraisal contingency.

With the market being as competitive as it is, offers that are well over the listing price are becoming commonplace. When a buyer is willing to pay over list price, that doesn’t guarantee that the property will appraise at that price—so the buyer can waive the appraisal contingency and agree to make up the difference with their own cash between the appraised price and the contracted purchase price.

This only applies to purchases that are being financed with a mortgage.

While an escalation clause can be a useful tool, it is critical that a buyer consider terms beyond the purchase price. A strong offer will address not only the purchase price, but also the contingencies in a manner that allows for a buyer to do their fair due diligence, all while providing the seller the peace of mind that the transaction will close successfully with little to no surprises.

n a market that is incredibly tight with buyers competing for properties, how does one compete to get an offer accepted? One tactic is the escalation clause. The escalation clause, also called an escalator, is language inserted into an offer that states that the buyer will pay a specific dollar amount over the highest offer the seller receives in a multiple-offer situation. The clause generally includes a cap to ensure that the buyer does not offer to pay more than they can afford. The question is, will that escalation clause alone guarantee an accepted offer?

Using an escalation clause is not a guarantee that a buyer’s offer will be accepted, and, in some cases, sellers will not accept an escalation clause. If an escalator is not a guarantee, then what is the best approach when writing an offer?

Terms are key points to an offer, particularly in a market such as the one we are experiencing now. It isn’t always just about the money. For example, perhaps a seller needs a longer escrow in order to move that antique book collection or in some cases needs to occupy the property after closing with a short rent-back agreement while they wait for construction to be completed on their replacement home.

There are many things that can be attractive to a seller when reviewing offers. It’s important that a buyer and the buyer’s broker take the time to learn what is important to the seller. Ask questions like, what duration of closing is preferred by the seller? Does the seller want a 30-day closing or do they prefer longer?
