Fires are already burning across the West. Record-setting temperatures are anticipated over the weekend.

Festivals are starting to pop up around the region. Seems like a pretty average summer week in Central Oregon, right? As much as we’d rather not see “summer season” become ever known as “smoke season,” this year’s dry conditions don’t seem to promise much else.

This week, some of Central Oregon’s thought leaders weigh in on fires, droughts, affordable housing, homelessness and so much more in our feature on Making Central Oregon a Better Place to Live. We hope you enjoy their perspectives and insights as we move through the first week of what could be an eventful summer.

f you’re reading this sentence, it’s probably because you value local news. So you may be surprised to hear that local news is collapsing around the country. The number of journalists has dropped 60% since 2000, and thousands of communities have either no newspaper or ghost newspapers that provide barely any local coverage.

We at the Source Weekly are trying to fill these gaps. But the collapse of the traditional advertising business models has made it far more difficult for local news outlets to provide the depth of coverage that you deserve.

Less local news coverage of course means less important information for you about matters in this community—schools, clean water, housing and homelessness and natural resources conservation, to name just a few.

And it’s more than that. Local news helps us know each other, and fights against polarization and conspiracy theories. It’s essential for communities to stick together and solve their own problems.

If this were a normal industry, we’d have advocated for government intervention a long time ago. But we in the press really don’t like taking money from the government. How can we hold politicians accountable if they’re giving us money?

Fortunately, some members of Congress have come with an extremely clever solution—a series of tax credits that amplifies the power of consumers and businesses. One

provision would provide a tax credit to you, the consumer, to purchase a subscription to a local newspaper or make a donation to a nonprofit news organization. A second provision would give a payroll tax credit to news organizations if they maintain or grow the number of journalists. And the third provision would provide a $5,000 tax credit to small businesses here in Oregon to advertise with local news.

We still need to earn your support.

But at least it will increase your buying power if you decide that we’re worthy of your help.

This proposal could be a huge help to us—and therefore to the quality of the news. Democracy needs this help.

The Local Journalism Sustainability Act would address the catastrophic collapse of local news, in a way that will build a better local news system for the future.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR3) of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), chair of the Senate Finance Committee, need to hear your voices in support of the Local Journalism Sustainability Act. We encourage you to write them in support of this important bill that benefits us all.

An op-ed in the Source (27 May) recounted the woeful tale of Mirror Pond. It described the recent convening of a Fish Passage Committee as part of an endless trail of bread crumbs through a thicket of debate, delay and indecision. It is true that the Mirror Pond puzzle is complicated. But here are some thoughts from an experienced scientist.

The Newport Dam made power for early Bend and it made a scenic pond for lucky homeowners. The 100+ year old dam originally had a fish ladder which became inoperative in the 1960s. The dam has blocked fish migration for the six decades since then. Pacific Power promised to restore passage, but never did. Seen in this light, fish passage is not a new issue.

Fish passage is a “cross-cutting” topic. Everyone likes fish. Everyone wants a healthy ecosystem. Fish passage means a healthy river and a healthy tourist economy. In recent years, millions of public dollars have been spent for habitat and flow restoration in the Deschutes River including passage at North Unit’s dam and other locations, and additional publicly financed projects are planned.

When one considers further steps to restore and sustain the once-worldclass upper Deschutes fishery, our attention turns immediately to the dam: its health, finances and future. And most importantly the dam needs to accommodate fish passage. The 100-year-old dam has been patched and repatched many times. It has many engineering and safety issues. The tiny amount of electricity produced is minuscule by today’s standards. The dam is an obvious financial burden. Pacific Power said they would remove it in 2014 but changed their minds in 2016. They can change their minds again tomorrow.

Two large hydropower dams on the Elwha River in Olympic National Park were removed in 2011. Like our dam in Bend, those dams were 100 years old and didn’t have the fish passage required by law. When dam removal was proposed, 30 years of debate, technical reports, public meetings and legislation ensued. I was Park Service Research Coordinator at Olympic for the last 13 of those years. In the end, when all was said and done, the dams were removed because no one was willing to pay the millions it would have cost to refit these 100-year-old structures.

The lesson of the Elwha applies directly to our situation in Bend. Here, commercial interests have muddied the waters. Pacific Power seems to hold public interests hostage because they own the dam and can decide what to do with it. Good citizens... Focus on fish passage!

The Fish Passage Committee was created by the City and Bend Parks to consider options. But any option will cost money and all of those costs center on the dam. It is my bet, that in the end, when all is said and done, no one will be willing to pay those millions. The Fish Passage Committee is not another bread crumb... it is the sword to cut the Gordian Knot.

DECRIMINALIZATION OF SEX WORK My name is Katherine.

I’m writing in partnership with the Oregon Sex, Workers Human Rights Commission (oregonsexworkers.com) and in preparation for the July 15 event re: Decriminalization of Sex Work.

I’m a Portland, Oregon sex worker.

More specifically, I’m a dominatrix.

And I love my job.

I started working as a dominatrix in 2012, after years of practice in the craft of BDSM, and after exploring what I

consider to be true bodily autonomy and true sexual freedom. It turned out that expelling internalized hetero-normativity wasn’t only healing and enlightening for me, it was also very sexy.

Unfortunately, because of criminalization, sex workers experience an increased risk of violence from clients, law enforcement, abusive partners and fanatics. We need to decriminalize.

Sex work paid for my undergraduate work in psychology. It paid for my house, and for me to return my property back to natural habitat. It pays for me to volunteer in mental health activism and education. Most importantly, it pays for me to be with my 4-year-old daughter. My attachment to her is the most important thing in this world.

We cannot afford to pander to ignorance and fear. For the health of individuals and our community, sex work needs to respected and appreciated. A first step is decriminalization.

I ask you to support us in our efforts to decriminalize sex work, and I ask our lawmakers to do the same.

to buy one, where people could create a real home.

But most city officials and many homeowners look down their noses at people who live in trailers. Maybe that’s why there is an acute shortage of trailer spaces to rent in Redmond, where I live.

If you own property and want to let a friend or family member park an RV on your land and live in it, then you are violating the city code. This activity is classified as a nuisance, along with having trash or abandoned vehicles on your property. If we truly want to house people, then we need to change these laws.

Parking Pains

The Old Bend Pilot Parking District will soon face the biggest challenge since it started: Summer

By Jack Harvel

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 24, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

S

ince the start of the year, the City of Bend has been testing a residential parking permit program in a section of the Old Bend neighborhood.

The intent behind the pilot program was to give the residents of the neighborhood parking spaces that wouldn’t have to compete with river floaters, downtown shoppers and event crowds.

After six months, survey results show little change in residents’ attitudes, but the program’s biggest challenge lies ahead with summer events and an influx of tourists.

The specific area of the pilot program, which includes all the streets east of the Deschutes River between Drake Park and Miller’s Landing Park and ending at NW Broadway to the east, was selected because preliminary surveys from the City showed a high degree of support—around 70%—for it in the area. Recommendations from the neighborhood would shape any permanent

“This resolution is selling part of the public right of way to a small number of our citizens,” she said during the September 2020 meeting.

Neighbors have complained about paying for parking in front of their own homes, the computer-based permit tracking system and the difficulty of inputting visitor passes into the system – which requires entering visiting cars’ makes, models and license plate numbers on the City’s website.

“Because it’s all in a computer system it’s a lot more difficult to get somebody a pass. I understand that they started giving out physical passes, but it’s case by case,” said Steve Lillegren, who lives in the pilot program parking district. “And it’s because the computer system doesn’t know how to handle the manual passes.”

More communication is needed, Marx said, saying that the two types of visitors parking managers need to comJack Harvel

program if one is put in place, parking officials say.

A second round of surveys taken during the pilot program showed little change in attitudes of residents.

“The support was very similar still, we were at about 70% in support of the district, generally with very great feedback on what we should improve,” said Tobias Marx, parking services division manager at the City of Bend. “I think the biggest lessons learned so far are to improve some of the signage to make it easier to understand for people, and that we had to communicate a little bit better about the visitor process.”

Concerns about aspects of the program have come from both residents and city leaders. At the Bend City Council meeting adopting the program, Councilor Barb Campbell was the lone dissenting voice.

municate with are those who are visiting households in the area and those who aren’t. To accommodate these different groups, everyone who has gotten a residential permit will be sent two visitor passes for visiting friends.

The City is also promoting the Bend Park and Recreation shuttle to floaters and coordinating with people attending events to inform them of the best parking practices.

Temporary permits for non-residents can be obtained through a portal on the City’s website. Some parts of the neighborhood offer free two-hour and four-hour parking, as well. The City maintains a map of available parking for visitors, with additional designations for “hybrid areas” where people can park during events like Munch and Music— the weekly free music event set to start again in Drake Park July 8.

Jack Harvel

A sign showing that only residents can park in the Old Bend District are displayed throughout. Bend Parking Services Manager Tobias Marx said that more clear signage was one of the most frequent recommendations given in parking surveys of the area.

“Munch and Music, Theater in the Park, Summerfest, all those are coming back. And I think that will be a great test to see if those hybrid areas that we created for events will work the way we wanted,” Marx said.

To test how the program works, an extensive parking study will track what’s happening on the street throughout the day for two weeks in August.

“We need that because we’re going to have a baseline in the summer times, when we have events, when we have other things going on, and more tourists, etc. What’s the baseline here in the summer, then we’ll do the same thing again, probably in October or November,” Marx said.

The study will be followed up with a third and final survey of the district to show what residents think of the program after a year of having it in place. That survey will influence what happens next—but people who live outside of the neighborhood can still chime in by writing to the City or speaking during the public comment

period when City Council next discusses it.

“We’re actually including some of the performance metrics that we’re looking for to really bring this back to Council and to say, ‘Look, this is what we have observed. This is what we have learned over the year, this is the feedback we have received, this is the public opinion about it in the district and these are the evaluation metrics we had set,” Marx said. “Now we need to determine if we want to continue it or not.”

The City Council won’t revisit the district until after the program finishes at the end of the year. If approved it could provide a roadmap for other areas experiencing parking congestion. Other parts of Old Bend that weren’t included in the pilot could be a candidate for a parking district if the people living there want it.

“It should be something that comes from the people living there, and if this pilot works well, then out of that we can create a tool kit,” Marx said. “It’s really up to the neighbors and the parking committee to decide that.”

Jack Harvel

Some areas in the parking district will be made available for event parking.

U

n proyecto de ley que devolvería los impuestos recabados de la marihuana en el Condado de Deschutes ha sido aprobado por la Cámara de Representantes de Oregon y está en espera de la votación del senado. El condado anuló su capacidad de recabar el 10% los impuestos aplicados a las ventas de la marihuana al poner los comisionados una moratoria sobre el permiso para los nuevos establecimientos de producción de marihuana en agosto de 2019, una decisión que los votantes hicieron permanente con una medida de propuesta de ley en noviembre del 2020.

Los impuestos a nivel condado se gastaron en los programas de prevención del uso de drogas y en la investigación de operaciones de cultivo ilegal. Cuando el condado estaba recaudando impuestos por primera vez, recibió entre $4-$500,000 al año, pero después de ser aprobada la medida 110 de Oregon, el proyecto de ley que despenalizó la mayor parte del uso de drogas recreativas en el estado y redirigió los impuestos sobre la marihuana para

financiar los programas de tratamiento para las adicciones a nivel estatal, el condado recibiría alrededor de $200,000 al año.

“Teníamos cientos de miles de dólares cultivando marihuana en el condado, vendiendo marihuana en el condado, recibiendo impuestos por las actividades en el condado y no enviamos ingresos al condado,” dijo el comisionado del condado de Deschutes Tony DeBone.

El proyecto de ley fue respaldado por el representante Jason Kropf de Bend y por Jack Zika de Redmond. Ninguno de los dos estuvo en la cámara de representantes durante la aprobación de las pautas de legalización y tributación de la marihuana, pero Kropf dijo que el tema de una renuncia voluntaria de un condado no se exploró.

“En el momento de propuesta de ley o legislatura original, nadie había anticipado lo que pasaría”, dijo Kropf a the Source.

Era algo anticipado, ya que se tendría al condado completamente dentro o fuera y luego lo que sucedió en el condado de Deschutes no se había contemplado”.

En ese momento dijeron los comisionados que Deschutes optó por abandonar lo relacionado a los nuevos establecimientos de marihuana en gran parte debido al conflicto entre los productores de cannabis y sus vecinos.

A

principios de 2021, un programa piloto en el vecindario histórico de Bend estableció un sistema de permisos de estacionamiento para los habitantes que algunas veces tienen que competir con las personas que van a flotar el río, que van de compras al centro y que asisten a los eventos para así poder estacionarse fuera de sus casas. Después de 6 meses, los resultados de la encuesta muestran pocos cambios en las actitudes de los habitantes, pero el reto más grande del programa está por venir con los eventos de verano y la llegada de turistas.

“Acabamos de hacer una encuesta en el vecindario histórico de Bend. De hecho, tuvimos una mejor respuesta comparado con la encuesta inicial,” dijo Tobias Marx, gerente de la división de servicios de estacionamiento de la ciudad de Bend. “Estábamos cerca del 70% a favor de la región, generalmente con una estupenda retroalimentación en relación a lo que deberíamos mejorar.”

La zona específica del programa piloto, la cual incluye todas las calles al este del río Deschutes entre Drake Park y el parque de desembarque Miller, que termina al este de NW Broadway, fue seleccionada porque las encuestas preliminares de la ciudad mostraron un alto nivel de apoyo.

“Creo que el aprendizaje más importante, ha sido hasta ahora, el mejorar algunos de los letreros para que la gente pueda entender mejor lo que está pasando y comunicarnos un poco mejor con relación a el proceso de visitas,” dijo Marx.

A todos los que han recibido un permiso residencial se les enviará dos pases para las visitas. La ciudad está adoptando un enfoque específico para los visitantes durante el día, como el promover el uso del transbordador de Bend Park and Rec para las personas que flotan el río o coordinarse con las personas encargadas de eventos para informarles cuál es la mejor forma para estacionarse. Los visitantes que asisten a la zona para presenciar eventos tendrán espacio limitado en las calles para estacionarse, junto con un tiempo límite de estacionamiento de hasta 4 horas.

“Much and Music, Theatre en el Parque y el Festival de Verano, vienen en camino y creo que será la mejor prueba para ver si esas zonas híbridas que creamos para los eventos funcionaran de la manera deseada,” dijo Marx.

El consejo municipal de Bend evaluará la zona a final de año, y si se aprueba, podría proporcionar una guía para otras áreas que estén pasando por congestión de estacionamiento. Otras partes de la zona histórica de Bend que no se incluyeron en el programa piloto podrían ser candidatas para la zona de estacionamiento si la gente que vive allí lo desea.

Where’s That Weed Money?

A moratorium on new marijuana facilities made Deschutes County unable to collect its share of taxes.

A new bill could change that.

If a new bill is not approved, the County's share of cannabis tax revenues will continue to go up in smoke.

establishing smell mitigation, required setbacks for greenhouses from property lines and distance requirements from “youth activity centers.”

“We put reasonable regulations in place, and we said we’ll re-review it a year later, and sure enough, those reg-

“We had hundreds of thousands of dollars growing marijuana in the county, selling marijuana in the county, taxes being received by the activities in the county, and no revenue being sent back to the County.”

—Tony DeBone Deschutes opted out of new marijuana facilities in large part due to conflict between cannabis farmers and their neighbors, commissioners said at the time. The County’s first moratorium was lifted after it placed some regulations on growing cannabis to ease the tension between these two groups,

ulations couldn’t even get settled in because they started to get appealed,” DeBone said. “There was a point where we’re like, ‘OK, well, this isn’t working, how about we ask the people to give us clarity?”

When the ballot measure passed it froze the number of county active

marijuana processors in time, not allowing any new permits to be awarded, though a few facilities were approved by the county before the moratorium and are still seeking state permits. Currently Deschutes County has fewer than 20 marijuana processing facilities on land under the jurisdiction of the county. If the bill is passed by the Senate and signed by the governor it would get the county back to receiving its funds, but would require the creation of an advisory committee made of stakeholders in the marijuana industry.

“The bill says the advisory committee shall give guidance to the commission about finding out how these dollars should be spent is my understanding,” DeBone said.

The group would also make recommendations on public safety measures related to marijuana and on how to solve issues that apply to marijuana businesses. Deschutes County Commissioner Patty Adair said the group could be valuable in coordinating things like irrigation, especially those

in irrigation districts that will struggle to meet demand like Tumalo and North Unit.

“With wells going down and the Tumalo area, their water is on rationing seven days on seven days off, I’ve heard from some hay ranchers that that are having a hard time. So you know, all those things, I’m sure could come up,” Adair said.

The clock is ticking on this legislative session and as of press time, there’s one week until legislators adjourn.

“We’re on a time crunch. We basically only have a week left this session, so part of the reality is if we have enough time to get this passed, that’s what I’m working through,” Kropf said. “If not this session, I’ll continue to push on it.

We have a robust cannabis industry here in this county and I think it’s appropriate that we have a share of the revenue that we helped generate for the state.”

If not approved in time the bill would have to wait until the next legislative session in February 2022 before it would have the possibility of becoming a reality.

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

A

bill that would bring back taxes gathered from marijuana sales in Deschutes County has passed the Oregon state house and is awaiting a vote from the Senate. The County voided its ability to collect 10% of the taxes levied on marijuana sales when commissioners placed a moratorium on permitting new marijuana production facilities in August of 2019—a decision voters made permanent with a ballot measure in November 2020.

The county-level taxes were spent on drug prevention programs and toward investigating illegal growing operations. When the County was first collecting taxes it received between $4-$500,000 a year, but after Oregon Measure 110, the bill that decriminalized most recreational drug use in the state and redirected marijuana taxes to fund statewide addiction treatment programs, the county would receive around $200,000 annually.

“We had hundreds of thousands of dollars growing marijuana in the county, selling marijuana in the county, taxes being received by the activities in the county, and no revenue being sent back to the County,” Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone said.

The bill was sponsored by Representatives Jason Kropf of Bend and Jack Zika of Redmond. Neither were in the House during the passage of marijuana legalization and taxation guidelines, but Kropf said the issue of a county opting out simply wasn’t explored.

“Nobody had at the time of the original bill, or in the original legislature, anticipated what would happen,” Kropf told the Source. “This was sort of anticipated as you’d have county either fully in or fully out, and then what happened to Deschutes County just hadn’t been contemplated.”

threaten residences in Pine Grove in Wasco County. On Sunday evacuation notices were lowered from Level 3 (go now) to Level 2 (get ready). There have already been two spot fires since the start of the blaze, one that reached about 42 acres near a fish hatchery that is 50% contained and one that was just under an acre that was secured and is now being patrolled.

“Predicted afternoon winds and potential thunderstorms may test the eastern flank today. Initial attack activity is expected to increase as lightning activity moves through the area,” the statement said.

The Warm Springs fire was just 10% contained in the latest release from the Forestry Service, but a video released by Warm Springs Fire Management reported it hoped to get the perimeter secured Tuesday—but with thunderstorms in the forecast, crews expected the eastern flank of the fire to be further tested.

forces to Central Oregon on Tuesday to relieve some of the pressure off of local crews. Over 300 local firefighters had been working on the Warm Springs fire since the blaze started.

“We know the conditions across the state are dry, and with thunderstorms in the forecast, even the smallest spark could trigger a wildfire, that is why we are prepositioning these resources,” Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said in a press release. “We can’t control the weather, but we can plan for what we can control, and that is strategically placing resources ahead of this weather event.”

The teams weren’t sent to deal with a specific fire, but to bolster local forces in preparation for potential incidents. The two teams hail from Marion County and Washington County, and will remain in Central Oregon for at least three days to assist local teams if any wildfire eruptions threaten structures, and could stay longer if needed.

The current fire has impacted the air quality around Warm Springs, but not to an unhealthy level at press time. The Warm Springs Air Quality Report for Tuesday showed there are 53 micrograms of pollution per cubic meter, up from the average of 13. This is considered a moderate amount of pollution that’s acceptable to most people, but could pose some health concern for people who are particularly sensitive to air pollution.

fire on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation spread to an estimated 6,200 acres at the start of the week.

The S-503 fire was first spotted on Friday, June 18; by Saturday morning it had spread to an estimated 250 acres and grew rapidly over the hot and windy day.

By the end of Saturday Warm Springs Fire Management said the blaze had grown to 4,300 acres and threatened 250 homes and structures in the area. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, according to Inciweb, the interagency incident information management system.

“Firefighters are focused on securing areas of concern including structures, residences and values at risk. Night shift continued line construction on the southern portion of the fire tying into a large meadow,” a statement from the Oregon Department of Forestry said.

WORLD FOR OUR CHILDREN Prioritize Housing Options for People Living and Working in Our Community

By Allison Platt As a Bend City Planner, I’m keenly aware of COVID-19’s impacts to increase demand on our housing market that has raised costs for both renters and homebuyers. In the last year, the median home price increased by over 35%. We hear from our friends and neighbors about their rejected housing offer, increased rent or the house that sold in three days to a cash offer for significantly over the asking price. My hope is that we prioritize housing options for people living and working in our community in balance with our own personal interests.

What can we do to help our community?

It would help working-class Bendites get into our housing market if home sellers accepted offers that require a loan instead of an all-cash offer. I encourage you to accept the offer from the first-time homebuyer or the person who submits a letter highlighting their commitment to this community over someone making an “investment property” purchase.

Courtesy Allison Platt We can be compassionate landlords so people can continue to live here investing in our community or saving toward a down payment. Please rent your home for a reasonable price versus the maximum rent you possibly can.

Please support and advocate for (versus protest against) new residential development, especially of units that will be affordable at various income levels, to help ease pressure on our housing market.

Bend will continue to grow and change as it always has, but we can continue to put our community’s interest ahead of our own.

— Allison Platt is a senior planner with the City of Bend and works on a variety of issues such as housing, growth and transportation planning.

Better Planning Delivers More Transportation Options

Protecting Our Natural Environment is One of the Most Important Things We Can Do

By Ariel Mendez, PhD

By Cassie Lacy

Remember how nice it was when there were fewer cars on the road? As restrictions are lifted and new residents and visitors arrive in Bend, we are poised to experience the opposite: a tsunami of traffic, fumes and frustration as we flood our streets with cars.

The best way to address this is to get back to fewer cars. Bend’s summer crush of congestion is driven by about 15% more people on our streets. If a similar number of people—not everybody, just 10 to 15%—felt comfortable not driving, that summer crush would be greatly diminished.

As a board member of the Bend Park and Recreation District, I will continue to support providing outstanding parks, trails, and recreation opportunities close to your home. Just as important, I support working with other local governments to address community-wide issues such as affordability and transportation.

A good illustration of this commitCourtesy Ariel Mendez ment is Alpenglow, the 37-acre community park in southeast Bend currently under construction. Packed with amenities including a sprayground and event stage, my favorite aspect of Alpenglow is the planning that went into how people will get there. District staff have described Alpenglow as a “hub for trails” and have worked with other districts to share parking, provide transit, build foot bridges across the railroad tracks and canal and provide a network of trails so that kids, families and all community members can access not just the park itself, but the new Caldera High School and surrounding neighborhoods without a car.

— Ariel Méndez, PhD is vice chair of the Bend Park and Recreation District board and teaches political science at OSU-Cascades.

I am one of many people who believe the natural environment and access to public lands are some of Central Oregon’s greatest assets, and protecting our natural environment is one of the most important things we can do to ensure our region remains this amazing place to live for generations to come.

We must address the climate crisis by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to keep our winters snowy, our forests healthy, our air fresh and clear, and our rivers plentiful and wild.

Governments and partner organizations can help, but so can individuals.

Governments, for example, can work to improve alternative transportation infrastructure or create incentives for energy-efficient homes.

But as individuals, we need to ride the bus or install new, high-efficiency heaters in our homes, or purchase renewable electricity through our utility. We can get involved professionally or politically, or volunteer for a good cause like a river cleanup.

As a community, we can simultaneously reduce our impact on the environment while addressing some other urgent community challenges, such as affordable housing, by supporting denser housing and expanded transit options.

Protecting our environment does not have to mean keeping things, including our natural spaces, exactly the same. It can be hard to see more people than we are used to on a favorite trail, and it’s understandable to feel that the only way to protect the natural environment is to stop all the change.

But let’s try not to turn to negativity and fear. Let’s try more open-mindedness and flexibility about what our prosperous future looks like and how humans and nature intersect. I hope we can remain appreciative for the beautiful segment of earth that we have and that we’re all willing to roll up our sleeves and do the work to keep it that way.

Harness a Little Bit of Your Stoke to Make Central Oregon a Better Place to Live

By Ryan Houston Making. /’mākiNG/ (noun): The act of causing or doing.

Do you enjoy the vast expanse of public lands just beyond the edge of town? Whether your roots extend back generations or you are part of the pandemic-driven Zoom Town migration, living within minutes of such incredible public lands brings a rich quality of life to many in Central Oregon.

But as science writer Ethan Linck described in his 2018 High Country News essay, “Your Stoke Won’t Save Us,” one’s passion for outdoor recreation—be it hunting, hiking, mountain biking, mushroom gathering or Christmas tree chasing—does not always predict their level of engagement in protecting those very same deserts, forest, rivers or mountains that feed their passion.

So, how do we make Central Oregon a better place? Harness a little bit of your stoke. Use some of that energy or a smidge of that inspiration drawn from your favorite canyon, creek or crag and put it to work making sure you nurture the very same landscapes that nurture you. Make sure these rivers, forests, canyons and deserts, complete with their biological diversity, clean water and cultural importance, persist forever.

Pause for a moment to hand-write a heartfelt letter to your Senator or Representative advocating for conservation. Share your thoughts and values with those who manage public lands, waters and wildlife. Join a conservation organization. Whatever you do, contribute. Participate. Make Central Oregon a better place by being a force for good in conserving the public lands that help make this community so extraordinary.

—Ryan Houston is Oregon Natural Desert Association’s executive director. He has 20 years of experience working in conservation, and at least as much experience exploring the desert streams and wide-open landscapes of Central and Eastern Oregon.

Opportunities for Elevating Our Collective Aesthetic IQ are on the Horizon Katie Sox

When asked to write about making Central Oregon a better place to live, I pushed back.

Central Oregon is an amazing place to live. The characteristics which drew me here more than a decade and a half ago remain.

We don’t need to make this place a better place to live; we must work to keep it an incredible place to live.

The identifying aspects of this place, gracing the cover of Outside magazine and showcased in glossy airport ads, deserve nurturing and respect. Visitors will not stop coming here; our population will not stop growing. The pressures on our public lands, our urban growth boundary, our restaurants and our parking lots are not going to cease.

But we can do something about it.

We need to take care of the places that take care of us. We need to smile at passersby, pick up our dog’s poop, yield to the uphill rider and slow down as we navigate through roundabouts—or better yet, leave the car at home and ride a bike.

And we can support the organizations that work tirelessly to make Central Oregon a place that we are grateful to call home. Our outdoor experiences are possible because of these nonprofits. Learn, donate, and get involved!

Creativity patched many of us through the pandemic. If we were among those who accomplished nothing, we were, quite possibly, gestating ideas. Meanwhile, the thrum of maker and artisan industry continued on. Our very vibrant maker and performer scene here is in no danger of diminishing any time soon, as long as there are places for artists to live and work. Keep an ear tuned to proposed discussions about the formation of a cultural district that might offer part of a remedy. Some day. Meanwhile, buy local art. Tip your musician.

From a regional cultural development perspective, opportunities for elevating our collective aesthetic IQ are on the horizon. Our new main branch library will be built to embrace performance and visual arts, just as the library will continue to do throughout its extensive branch library system (which will, by the way, remain intact). Congratulations are in order to the High Desert Museum for recently receiving the nation’s highest honor given to museums and libraries that make significant and exceptional contributions to their communities. And pay very close attention to this: The Oregon-based Roundhouse Foundation gave the museum $6 million for exhibit and program upgrades, including providing the eastern side of the state with its first dedicated art museum. Having spent about a decade as a department head in art museums, I can tell you that running an art museum is a very different animal than operating a changing exhibit gallery. It is in fact a daunting undertaking that will require the informed pursuit of the best expertise the art museum field has to offer.

Climate Change Puts Regions like Ours in Jeopardy, Impacting All of Us

Ready to Meet Community Challenges, Together

By Rep. Jason Kropf

By Tammy Baney

I’ve been proud to call Bend home for nearly two decades, and my wife and I are thrilled to be raising our daughter here. In Bend, we know that clean air, water and land are more than a perk of living in this magnificent part of Oregon. They’re a bedrock of our local economy and our well-being.

We also know that climate change puts regions like ours in jeopardy, impacting all of us, and disproportionately harming communities of color and low-income families. Droughts and more severe wildfire seasons are creating a tougher world for our children. For some, climate change may feel too big to solve, but I’m confident we can take steps in the right direction. As I write this on Father’s Day, I am thinking about how we can help pass down a sustainable planet to my daughter’s generation—and beyond.

This was one of the driving forces behind my desire to serve our community in the legislature, and why I’m proud to support critical legislation for a sustainable future for Oregon. House Bill 2021 sets Oregon on the path to 100% clean elecCourtesy Jason Kropf tricity by 2040, and House Bill 2842 creates a Healthy Homes program to make it easier for low-income families and other environmental justice communities to retrofit their homes for sustainability.

Together, these bills will boost our economy and reduce our state’s energy utilization. I am proud to sponsor both bills.

We aren’t going to solve the climate crisis overnight. But together, we can set Oregon on a path to a greener, more sustainable future. In our final week of our legislative session, I’m committed to seizing the opportunity to act on climate change. I hope you’re willing to join me.

—Jason Kropf represents Bend’s House District 54 in the Oregon State legislature, and also serves on the Bend Park and Recreation District board of directors.

Important issues in Central Oregon such as affordable housing, traffic congestion, employment, public health and natural resource conservation require strategic planning and benefit from a coordinated and inclusive approach. Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council is the region’s council of governments, which works collaboratively with cities, counties and citizens to identify common needs, leverage resources and develop solutions to create more vibrant and resilient communities. Since 1972, COIC has contributed to making Central Oregon a better place to live by offering programs and services that improve quality of life.

During the pandemic, our departments guided a number of local initiatives, often operating as a silent partner and getting things done. COIC’s Community and Economic Development Department worked with state and local governments to provide over 1,000 small businesses with $7.6 million in grant dollars for COVID-19 recovery efforts. This department is also working with regional partners to expand options for our unhoused community members and find affordable housing solutions to ensure that Central Oregonians have a place to call home. COIC’s Adult Employment and Training WorkSource staff supported over 1,200 businesses with rapid response services and placed 46 individuals in on-the-job training programs. During the 2019-2020 school year, the Youth Education Program helped 103 at-risk students graduate and another 69 students earn their GED. The Youth Work Program placed 52 youth into paid work experiences and internships. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Cascades East Transit, operated by COIC, has provided free bus service to help people get to work, school, medical appointments and shopping destinations.

COIC’s role in the region is to support our communities and local governments, helping to seek solutions to pressing issues, while also exploring and implementing innovative programs that contribute to economic vitality and sustainability and enhance the community cohesion among our unique and diverse region. We stand ready to meet community challenges, together.

Reflect Attitudes and Behaviors Founded on Respect, Tolerance and Inclusivity

By Oscar Jesus González In February, the City Club of Central Oregon led a panel discussion on whether Central Oregon was as “welcoming” as many believe. No one mentioned that Bend became a “Welcoming City” in 2017 when it joined Welcoming America, a nationwide alliance of cities. Bend stood out from other cities in our region with a proclamation based on the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. Each September, the city showcases a week of presentations, discussion groups, and other activities to celebrate our region’s distinct cultures and traditions, called “Welcoming Week.”

Unfortunately, other cities in Central Oregon failed to follow suit. Some folk confused Welcoming America with the notion of becoming a “sanctuary city.” If Redmond, Madras and Prineville would join organizations such as Welcoming America, they would be recognized for their devotion to inclusivity, respect, mutual understanding and collaboration. It is essential that all our community members feel welcomed and valued.

Former Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Shay Mikalson led his administration, faculty and staff to participate in workshops on “educational equity” and “cultural humility.” As our demographics continue to shift, local educators must become more culturally responsive, so our children develop a deeper understanding of each other’s differences. Then they will develop empathy and respect for each other and realize that despite any differences, we have so much more in common.

I remain hopeful our youth can model and set the tone for the rest of us by reflecting attitudes and behaviors founded on respect, tolerance and inclusivity. This can make Central Oregon a better place for us all.

Cultivating Empathy to Make Central Oregon a Better Place to Live

Using Technology to Further Expand Access to Education for Urban and Rural Communities

By Zavier Borja

By Jeremy Green

Eduardo Romero

As told to Editor Nicole Vulcan via phone: I think that I live in this naive notion in my head of empathy and understanding of differences, and that doesn’t mean you have to agree, or change someone’s opinion, but actively listening, and what that concept in itself means, and what it looks like—just to have a greater threshold for when we talk about different communities, or someone who is just different from you in whatever facet.

Because when we’re talking about welcoming, the contrast to that would be unwelcoming, or non-inclusive. So, to me, where does that derive from? I think that comes from a place of trying to, or wanting to understand. Not trying to change your ideas, or your ideology, but it’s just to have empathy.

I think it’s a combination of exposure and self-discovery, or understanding the willingness to do that. Like for me, in my work, I try to do that within the outdoors; using the outdoors as an environment to set the stage to try to cultivate that. At the same time, when we talk about Central Oregon at large, I think it’s that combination of the individual self.

Be curious and/or set up an environment with that intention of bringing together people with differences, whether it’s left or right, or how you identify in any facet, like race and gender. Also, set a safe place to—I don’t know if that’s even possible—but setting an environment for that, so you could just learn from each other, not trying to change everybody’s opinion in either direction. I think there is a big disconnect, as well. We don’t like to be told, and it’s kind of what we’re doing—setting up an environment where differences are able to be expressed and understood.

There’s no doubt that COVID-19 has created innumerable challenges, especially in education. However, these struggles have also offered institutions like Central Oregon Community College opportunities to innovate and expand access to education. If you visit COCC’s branch campuses in Redmond, Madras and Prineville, you’ll see this pandemic-spurred transformation in action.

One of COCC’s primary goals for our branch campuses over the past 18 months has been to increase access to higher education for both students and the community. With help from the COCC Foundation, state and federal relief funds, and local supporters like the Roundhouse Foundation, COCC’s branch campuses have not only created access to learning during the pandemic, but have also carved out new and innovative ways to deliver courses long into the future. We now offer expanded wi-fi across our campuses, and lend free personal computers, tablets, hotspots and web cams to students who need them. COCC students are no longer confined to the use of on-campus computer labs and can access services and courses from wherever is most convenient. All four COCC campuses are equipped to livestream courses between campuses as well as directly to students’ personal computers, regardless of their location. We’re working hard to eliminate the need for Jefferson County, Crook County and even Redmond-area residents to commute to Bend in order to take specific courses required to complete their goals.

Barriers to higher education that once existed for many Central Oregonians due to unreliable internet connectivity, access to technologies, or impossible commutes for place-bound students are fading because of our collective response to the coronavirus. How might Central Oregon continue to move forward—using the technological advances we have all come to love and loath during the pandemic—to further expand access to education for our urban and rural communities?

Grow into a Community Where We’ve Bridged the Gap Between “Us” and “Them” Make Space for All People to Be Themselves in Our Outdoor Spaces

By LeeAnn O’Neill

By Rika Ayotte

Where are you from? But where are you really from? We are perpetual foreigners in our own community. Our skin, eyes, and hair are always just enough out of place that Central Oregon could never be our home no matter how long we have been here.

Long story short, we came together because we couldn’t find our groceries, so we co-created a virtual space to celebrate our food and myriad cultures, share stories, and crowdsource where to find shaoxing wine, gochugaru, or our favorite noodle. It grew to be a space to share experiences of exclusion, isolation and fear in the wake of anti-Asian violence. And it became one of belonging.

The wishful conversations we’ve heard in the community is to create a physical space to nurture this sense of belonging—a visible Cultural Community Center to celebrate the diversity of our communiSteve T. Martin Photography ty. It could be a place for groups like ours to host potlucks. It could have a library for youth and adults with books and movies. There could be language, cooking or dance classes that we could invite the whole community to share with us.

The possibilities are endless.

And then maybe, one day, we will grow into a community where we’ve bridged the gap between “us” and “them” and we can all call Central Oregon home.

—LeeAnn O’Neill is a founding partner of Allyship in Action, a Central Oregon- based equity and social justice consulting company, and helped co-create the group Asians and Pacific Islanders of Central Oregon.

Recreating outdoors in Central Oregon is a part of our way of life. No matter who you are, what you look like, who you love or what you believe, there are trails, rivers and forests that belong to you. Isn’t it amazing that we all have the opportunity to enjoy so much natural beauty?

I think so, and I think most people would agree. But do you still feel this way when the campers next to you play music that you hate? When people use your favorite secret beach as an Instagram backdrop? When a toddler is loudly splashing next to your fishing spot?

Do you find yourself wishing that people acted more like you?

If we want to make Central Oregon a better place to live, we need to make space for all people to be themselves in our outdoor spaces. When we “other” those who don’t recreate like we do, we deepen the racial, socioeconomic and political divides that prevent our region from thriving. We also alienate people from the lands we so desperately need them to care for and support.

Unless an activity is illegal, unsafe or damaging, there is no wrong way to recreate.

Next time you bristle over someone talking on their phone on the trail or revving their engines on forest roads…take a deep breath and remember that these places really are for all of us. If you have to work a bit harder to find places where you can recreate your way, it’s a small price to pay for the long-term future of our community and our lands.

The “Delta” in Higher Education

By Andrew Ketsdever Throughout my career I’ve seen how a college degree gives a graduate the kind of agency over a future that was otherwise uncertain. In mathematics, “delta” represents a change in some quantity. For higher education, a measure of student success is the delta from the time a student enters college to the time they graduate with a degree. The more the delta, the more the change in the student’s skill sets related to critical thinking, communication and commitment to lifelong learning, among other skills. The trouble with higher education is that this delta is not available to everyone. Barriers come from many places. Certainly, financial barriers are a common theme throughout higher education. However, there are many other barriers, and some are even more challenging than financial. Location of educational opportunities is also a major factor. Having opportunities in Central Oregon is critical for access to those who live here. Locally, however, access is also affected by the lack of available child care and affordable housing.

In a recent study (“Public Viewpoints,” Strada Education Network), more respondents identified self-doubt as a barrier than the cost of higher education. Helping students feel that they can succeed and that they do belong is important for access. Part of the delta that higher education provides is a feeling of accomplishment, self-actualization and the confidence that comes from both.

However, higher education cannot reach students who do not seek these opportunities because they do not see a successful path for themselves. It is incumbent upon each of us to show all students at a young age that they can succeed in college and that the delta that they secure for themselves can be life-changing.

alming” and “thoughtful” are two of the first words that come to mind when I listen to the new Left Vessel album. It runs organically like a list of thoughts and feelings Nick Byron Campbell (Faded Rituals, Arizona) needed to get off of his chest.

But the Bend-based musician doesn’t alienate others in his songwriting, as the LP (Campbell’s first solo work) can be interpreted on multiple levels. It also embodies the sound and spirit of nature throughout.

Thanks to Scalehouse, an arts-focused nonprofit in Bend, Campbell was able to receive an artist grant that made the upcoming release possible.

This boost also led to the album getting picked up by GiftShop Records.

“Their help (Scalehouse) was incredibly gracious and motivating. It’s inspiring to be in a community that prizes creativity and ensures that it’s supported in times of need,” says Campbell.

Read our Q&A with Campbell to learn what went into the record, why nature is at the backbone of its sound, and even how Campbell played the tree as an instrument.

Source Weekly: What were some of the driving forces of inspiration behind the album’s music and songwriting?

Nick Byron Campbell: This whole album ended up being about connection, either to other people or nature.

Specifically, the “Driftless” tracks were written and recorded in one extended session in the woods of Minnesota’s Driftless Region while I was undertaking a residency there as the Crystal Creek Canyon Lodge Citizen-Artist in Residence. I was literally recording among the trees and with them, and that deeply influenced the meanings of those pieces of music as I reflected on climate change and humanity’s relationship with the world around us that we are irrevocably a part of, despite the common but absurd belief that somehow we are separate from nature.

SW: You mentioned that this album is a more mellow approach than some of your other works. What was it like for you to play more into that acoustic world? I personally really enjoyed how you incorporated sounds of the natural world into the music.

NBC: Thank you. I’ve always written music very quietly. Even the louder stuff I’ve made would start out quietly in a room. I think this is a reaction to

often writing with people around that I don’t want to bother too much—first my parents, then roommates, now my small child and wife. These were and are always supportive people, but they don’t need to hear me work on 10 seconds of a chorus for 45 minutes. So in a way, actually releasing music like this is sort of like sharing the natural starting point of music that I would often expand upon or make louder/bigger with a band.

Regarding the natural sounds, I’ve been tinkering a lot with recording in unique environments lately, and leaving the natural sounds in was a fun outgrowth of that. Some of the tracks were recorded out in the woods, not in a studio, and I found that I loved the noise floor you get—a bit of wind rustling leaves, some birds singing, a bug zipping past. That’s something I think I’ll be doing a lot more of in all of my music.

SW: The first single you dropped for the record was “Your Winter,” and it touches on the timing and power of connection between people. Can you elaborate a bit on what that song means to you and the idea of paths crossing?

NBC: This could be taken in so many contexts, and I purposely kept the lyrics vague enough that anyone could apply it to some time in their life, but in this instance it was written about something incredibly specific. My grandmother went through a rough breakup right at the end of her life as I was also going through a disruptive breakup, and we bonded during this time in a way we never had in the rest of our lives. It was an interesting situation, because she was not well and clearly headed towards the end of her life, but was also going through this romantic breakup that feels like something we only experience in younger years, and I was also going through something similar but felt like I was actually getting a chance to start life fresh and live anew—which ended up being very true and wonderful.

hot in late 2008, Redwood Son found himself almost completely lost in the fall of 2009, when original drummer and long time Friend Kipp Crawford was tragically killed. It was a long road back, and on the heels of that tragedy, Redwood Son was named “Best New Artist” of the 2010 Portland Music Awards. In June 2011, he followed with a Double Album titled “The Lion’s Inside” which showcased some prolific songwriting prowess, and a lofty Debut effort.

Gin delivers finely crafted songs with excellent musicianship, harmonies and real soul. The sound encompasses bluegrass, folk and old country, melding them into a good ol’ pot of musical stew. His songs touch on themes of life’s ups and downs with honesty and superb storytelling. Juniper and Gin is one of Oregon’s most exciting up-andcoming string bands. You are guaranteed to have a foot-stompin’ good time and you may even find yourself singing along to these catchy original tunes

wh i s k e y & b r e w Whiskey & Spirits

Crater Lake Rock & Rye -

Classic drink with Rye Whiskey, dark cherry, blood orange and bitters.

Ready to drink, great for camping and tailgating.

Golden Road Mango Cart Wheat Ale - A series inspired by

the iconic fruit cart vendors of Los Angeles. A light, refreshing wheat ale with lots of fresh mango and a pleasant, slightly tart finish.

Crater Lake Rye Whiskey -

Oregon- Crater Lake Reserve Rye has rich notes of toffee and a distinct peppery finish. The higher proof and pronounced rye flavor are perfect for complex cocktails for the serious whiskey enthusiast.

truly small-batch bourbon starts with traditionally grown corn, rye and malted barley. Prior to being coopered, the barrel wood is seasoned in open air, rain, wind, sun, and snow for eighteen months, softening the wood’s harsh tannins.

The barrels are then slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enrich the wood’s desirable flavors.

This meticulous process yields a truly hand-crafted spirit with aromas of crème brûlée and spice cabinet, as well as notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean on the palate with a sweet, lingering finish.

Noble Oak Double Oak Bourbon - Noble Oak Double

Oak Bourbon is a unique awardwinning bourbon finished with sherry oak sourced by the Master of Wood at Edrington, producers of the world’s finest single malts. With notes of honey and ripe cherries.

Dry Fly Straight Washington Wheat Whiskey - The first whiskey that

dry fly ever created. With its 100% wheat mash bill, this is the perfect whiskey for someone looking for a light, smooth, easy drinker. Made completely from local grains, it truly is a wonderful offering.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Ancient buffalo carved paths

through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years.

Oregon Spirit Distillers Straight American Bourbon Whiskey - Oregon

Spirit Distillers Bourbon Whiskey is a four-grain bourbon made with corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley.

This whiskey is made and aged for four years on site in Bend, Oregon.

After four years of maturation in new American white oak barrels, the barrels are married and a touch of water is added to bring our whiskey to 94 proof. Oregon Spirit Distillers Bourbon stays true the sweet corn-on-the-cob nature of bourbon with a spicy cinnamon twist from the rye grain.

Brews Widmer Hefeweizen - Meet the

beer that started it all. Our naturally cloudy flagship brew starts with the highest quality wheat. It’s bold, clean flavor and pronounced citrus and floral aromas are what define American style hefeweizen.

10 Barrel Reel Good Summer Ale - Brewed using

traditional methods and subtle Champagne-like fermentation, this Kolsch-style summer ale is clean, crisp, balanced and almost as light as a dry fly. These cans fit conveniently in the front pocket of your Simms waders, and pairs well with your favorite backcountry fishing spot. Fish It Well and Drink Beer Outside!

Kona Big Wave Golden Ale - Big Wave is a lighter-

bodied golden ale with a tropical hop aroma and flavor—smooth, easy drinking, and refreshing. The use of caramel malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer, and our special blend of hops provides a bright, quenching finish that makes it a struggle to not grab another one.

Elysian Dragonstooth Stout - Pours a deep, midnight black with

a light tan head. Smells of coffee and dark chocolate and the mouthfeel is velvety smooth with flavors of roasted malts, oatmeal and warm bread.

Dragonstooth is a very drinkable stoutsatisfying but not heavy.

Mountain IPA? It’s the merger of two prominent IPA styles: a West Coast IPA and an East Coast Hazy IPA. Delivering a smooth profile that consists of mango, tangerine, and grapefruit, we’ve mixed the tropical fruitiness of a hazy with the piney, juicy, citrus of a traditional IPA. This Mountain IPA was brewed for hitting the outdoors because nothing beats this combo when you’re chilling around the fire.

Elysian Contact Haze IPA - Brewed in Washington, Elysian

Contact Haze IPA uses a quirky mix of ingredients for a special flavor. A blend of punchy hops like El Dorado®, Mosaic® and Southern Passion give this beverage bright, fruity notes. Juicy and succulent, Elysian Hazy IPA is brimming with bursts of raspberry, citrus, guava and passion fruit.

Cacti Agave Spiked Seltzer: Pineapple – From the mind of Travis

Scott and made with 100% blue agave, the pineapple flavor pairs perfectly with summer

Bud Light Lemonade Seltzers - The bubbly

refreshment of seltzer meets the taste of sweet lemonade!

Bud Light Mango Seltzer -

For those anytime easy drinking occasions. We'd put it up against any other seltzer out there! Made with pure cane sugar, sparkling water, and a hint of natural fruit flavors.

LIMITED AVAILABILITY: 10 Barrel X Taps: Tropical Lullaby – Coconut Lime Sour. For some reason it's hard to get coconut flavor infused in a sour beer. In typical 10 Barrel fashion, we threw in more coconut than we had ever used in a beer up to this point. We added a touch of lime to brighten and bring together the flavors. Yum!

10 Barrel X Taps: Unbridled Spirit – The Kentucky Common style

is a throwback to a popular beer during the prohibition era. Designed to be brewed and consumed quickly to avoid prosecution, the Kentucky common is a simple beer yet truly refreshing. A base of 6row Barley Malt and flaked corn is given just a hint of color by Chocolate Rye Malt, and balanced with Crystal and Saaz hops.

Crisp, yet slightly creamy, bright, clean and sessionable.

THE THIRD ACT FOMO YOLO SOLO

C

when we are part of a social context.

Older and alone is not anyone’s number-one choice. Maybe you’re living in the same too-big house you and your now-deceased partner shared.

(Think about Airbnb-ing one of those extra rooms.) Maybe you retired just before losing a spouse and now have no travel partner, no one to share the news of the day with. (Check out trips for older travelers such as Roads Scholar, read Kent Haruf ’s “Our Souls at Night,” or form a caravan of camper vans and head out!)

Maybe you’re fearful after a divorce but living alone isn’t cutting it.

(Close to 15% of the population over 65 use dating sites. The opera’s not over…) Maybe dancing was your favorite activity. Maybe your grandchildren are far away. Maybe you realize that most of the world population is far worse off than you and want to do something about it.

According to a May 2021 “Sixty Minutes” episode anchored by Leslie Stahl, babies born today will live until 104. The number over 65 in 2020? 56 million. That number will be 80 million in 2040 and 95 million in 2060 as Boomers hit the ageing threshold, a thinly veiled way of saying a candidate for dying. Forty-two percent of those over 65 currently live alone. That climbs to 58% for those 80 and over. Boomers are of interest, socially, politically and economically, but to whom and why?

Let’s make certain we drive the discussion about policies that affect us, rather than those who see us as in the way. There’s power in oldster numbers. Boomers are a force for change, not merely an obstacle to younger generations’ progress, as many would have you believe.

Just when you thought all you had to think about was putting your feet up, it might be time to put your foot down, to shape the conversation about this demographic you are part of, and while you’re at it, to shape the conversation about all kinds of pressing problems that your life experience can inform.

The Central Oregon region has many different nonprofit organizations supporting arts, science, environment, families, education…and they all need you. It’s well documented that isolation is, quite literally, bad for your health—so whatever you do, don’t do nothing and remember, you’re not alone. Us old folks, we’re in this together.

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

OVID leveled the playing field when it came to Fear of Missing Out. After all, no one was having soirees or headed out on a camping trip or meeting at a brewery without you.

No one was going to the symphony or theater or floating the river without you. During COVID there was nothing to feel left out about. Now that restrictions are lifting many see the folly and insecurity of their pre-COVID FOMO ways: the unnecessary anxiety and social frenzy it caused, and are resolved not to succumb now that fun is back. We’ll see. Feeling invited, seen, wanted, appreciated, up to date and up to snuff is human nature. We need validation through companionship.

As to YOLO, regardless of age, all are charging out of lockdown waving the You Only Live Once banner, determined to make up for lost time. Forget the cost, work is overrated. After a year of having our wings clipped, “Go!” is the clarion call. Ride horses across Mongolia. Don that squirrel suit and leap off the Alps.

Get that camper van, cost be damned.

Thanks to COVID, we have to accomplish two years-worth of our bucket lists in one.

And then there’s SOLO. Unlike FOMO and YOLO, it’s not a hip acronym. It’s a condition. We now all have first-hand experience of SOLO. COVID gave everyone a taste of the one-hand-clapping concept, isolated from our friends, quarantined in our houses or apartments. The poignant image of the young African American boy staring down from the window of a New York City tenement building at a world he wasn’t allowed to access, to experience—he was all of us. The adult child blowing kisses to her elderly parent from outside the assisted living facility—she was all of us. Now, taking the first, unmasked steps toward a longed-for hug after months of distancing, we are startled to discover how emotional these reunions are. COVID created a monotone and monochrome world, a life stripped of color, sound, motion, energy and each other. Through it, we did our best. But still, isolated and alone was, well, lonely.

The older among us didn’t require a worldwide pandemic to learn about solitary confinement. In 2020 the death of a partner or a divorce left 28% of Boomers stranded on solo island. I say stranded because, with few exceptions, that’s how people describe living alone. Remember, we’re social animals. We live in a relative sense, know better who we are

Lettuce, Before and After Solstice

Now’s your last chance to sow quick-growing, heat-tolerant plants, as well as cold-loving crops

Sample the Goods Catch these sampler plates from some of the competitors at this weekend’s Central Oregon BBQ Brews & Whiskey Festival

On the heel of the summer solstice, the salad days of summer are upon us.

T

he summer solstice is in the rearview mirror. Even though the hottest days are before us, the longest days are past. If you haven’t planted your tomatoes or melons yet, you might not bother. The plants will grow like steroid abusers, but there isn’t time for the fruit to ripen. Or maybe you’ll get one small melon. Trust me, I’ve been there.

But there is a silver lining to the inevitable cooling. This is the beginning of the fall gardening season. It’s your last chance to sow quick-growing, heat-tolerant plants like peas, beans and cucumbers, and time to start sowing your cold-loving crops like lettuce, spinach, beets, broccoli, mustard, cabbage, collards, carrots, kale and radishes, which can live well into winter. So if you’re willing to cover your greens with blankets and even build cold frames around them, you can coax a four-season harvest out of most planting zones. For more details on four season farming, consult the books of Eliot Coleman, of Four Season Farm in Maine, who eats local salad all year long and has written several books, including Four Season Harvest. And if you think you want to give it a shot, by all means plant now and read later!

For newbie gardeners who may or may not want to try the winter gardening thing, a fall garden is a final shot at redemption. If your corn isn’t going to be knee high by the 4th of July, or your tomatoes will still be green when the frost hits, or if you haven’t even gotten

around to digging up your garden, or you’re otherwise behind the ball, you might be ready to try again this fall.

Starting now, I think I mentioned?

For experienced gardeners, planting the fall garden is a second spring’s worth of work, with all of the excitement that goes with it. Yes, it’s another garden chore to add to the weeding, watering and harvesting of summer. But this is also the beginning of a whole new, cold weather garden that could be babied long after the winter solstice, and into the lengthening days. It’s cause for celebration.

The reason to wait until summer solstice before planting winter greens is that the pre-solstice lengthening days can cause many leafy plants to bolt, which is something like when a human hits puberty. Changes happen. Irreversible changes, not all of them good. Changes in size, shape and flavor. The plant essentially becomes a long, central flowering stalk, and the leaves get pointy and develop extra-bitter flavor. Now that solstice has passed, you can sow your fall greens, either by direct seed or by planting little starts, without risk of them bolting.

Every seven years, the summer solstice falls on Father’s Day, and both days make me think of lettuce. Solstice, of course, because it divides the spring and fall seasons of lettuce, and Father’s Day because my dad used to make the most amazing lettuce salad. We would go into a meditative state as he prepared it, patting down each leaf with a paper towel. He’d store

leftover washed leaves wrapped in paper towels too. He’d serve his salad in these beautiful wooden bowls. It was super garlicky and everybody loved it. It’s perfect as a salad and also quite handy as a condiment of sorts. If you happen to be chewing a glorious morsel of food, perhaps fatty, perhaps meaty, a bite of marinated onions, lettuce and tomato can, and usually does, add to the experience.

Dad’s Salad This is the salad I grew up eating, and the ultimate side salad.

Serves 2-4, depending on one’s salad intake 1 head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped 1/2 medium onion, minced 1 clove of garlic, minced or pressed 1 teaspoon salt 2 tomatoes, sliced for salad Olives and feta to taste For the dressing 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 3/4 cup olive oil Toss the chopped lettuce, tomatoes and onions with the garlic and salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.

Mix the dressing vigorously and dress, tossing as lightly as possible. Garnish with olives and feta.

Barbecue is kind of a big deal.

Whether it’s Texas-style brisket or Korean-style galbi, most cultures have some type of tradition of cooking meat over an open fire—and they all spell deliciousness.

All that deliciousness comes together this weekend for the Central Oregon BBQ Brews & Whiskey Festival—a new event debuting at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center this year. On top of food trucks, vendors, beer and whiskey, a highlight of the event is the competition, in which at least 16 teams will compete for glory in this Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association-sanctioned event. Competitors will compete in categories that include pork, brisket, chicken and pork ribs.

That’s cool and all—but I know you’re wondering how you can get some of those goods. Lucky for you, four of the competitors will offer sampler platters of their goods—and chances are there are some you haven’t yet tried.

Competitors offering barbecue samplers include The Original Northwest BBQ Company from Buckley, Washington; BBQ Aloha from Renton, Washington; Fat Dad’s Barbecue from Klamath Falls and The Tipsy Pigs from La Pine.

Check ‘em out.

Some local favorites will be there as well. While they’re not competing, locals can also look out for barbecue delights from Bend businesses that include Craft Kitchen & Brewery, Pop’s Southern BBQ, Northwest Wing Shop, Bigfoot Barbecue Co. and Bad Boys BBQ, along with other local vendors. If you’re into barbecue, they may have to roll you out of this event.

Bo Burnham is alone inside

By Jared Rasic

35

“I

Bo Burnham: “Inside” Bo Burnham is a genius. I’m just gonna say it right up front so you know where I’m coming from. I was never a big fan of his early YouTube work because it felt like a crass remixing of Jon Lajoie and Weird Al, but after 2016’s comedy special “Make Happy,” Burnham transcended the singing jokester routine and became something entirely different.

With his new (I won’t call it a comedy) special, “Inside,” Burnham looks at about a hundred million different things and deconstructs them to the point of absurdity. See, Burnham recorded the entirety of “Inside” while quarantined at his house, shooting basically the entire film in his guest house over the course of a year. All alone. No crew, no camera operator, just Burnham himself, a bunch of cameras, lighting equipment and a staggering amount of anxiety.

For me, the most important thing that “Inside” does is ask a very simple question about 50 different ways so that no one watching can miss it. How are you coping? That’s it. During the filming of “Make Happy,” Burnham started having crippling panic attacks while onstage, leading him to stop performing live for five years. He spent all that time working on his own mental health and just trying to get better. In January of 2020 he decided he was well enough to start performing live shows again and right as he was about to begin, COVID landed and sent him back inside with only his thoughts for company.

And sure, many people had it much, much worse than Burnham did, with his rich, white anxiety and ability to reach out to millions of people if he wanted to, but Burnham is also smart enough to know that his privilege definitely cushioned his landing and that he would make a large chunk of money recording himself in quarantine. There’s even a song or two about it.

Setting the entire film in one room gives the entire special a claustrophobic feeling that acts as a visual representation of Burnham’s mental health.

Throughout “Inside’s” 87 minutes, Burnham’s hair and beard become longer, wilder and more unkempt. His songs become less guarded and the jokes become almost defensive, like he knows he’s supposed to be making a comedy special but doesn’t feel like laughing is very important at the moment. There’s even a song or two about it.

The messiness of Bo Burnham comes to the forefront in “Inside.”

Burnham isn’t coping well. He spent a year in a small house feeling desperate to get back out in the world and be a part of everything again. But as things start going back to normal, the sun is brighter than he remembered, and the sky is so much bigger than he thought. Maybe he’s not as ready to go back out into the world as he imagined. To me, that’s the biggest message that “Inside” imparts— that it’s OK if you’re not ready to rip the mask off. That even as you’re inside your house or your room or even yourself, that you’re not really alone.

Bo Burnham isn’t a genius because of his writing or his singing. He’s a genius

because he knows he has a giant audience and made a 90-minute movie of himself being ugly and scared and stupid and vulnerable and beautiful. Every minute of “Inside” is him trying to heal in a very public and messy way. Maybe being a genius is just being emotionally fearless and giving everyone else permission to be the same. That’s good enough for me.

tarted in 2012 by James Nicol, SnoPlanks has since become a fixture of the extreme sports world in Bend and beyond, with its handmade skateboards and snowboards. So it makes sense that its latest collab is with legendary surfer Gerry Lopez, aka Mr. Pipeline.

The new line of boards is called Street Surfer. Designed by Lopez and SnoPlanks, the duo is also teaming up with The Conservation Alliance this year, donating 100% of proceeds from the Street Surfer boards to The Alliance’s summer grant cycle from June through September. Based in Bend, The Conservation Alliance works to “harness the collective power of business and outdoor communities to fund and advocate for the protection of North America’s wild places.”

“When we started SnoPlanks, we knew that we wanted to do more with our brand than simply sell a consumer product,” said Nicol, SnoPlanks’ founder, in a press release. “It’s our responsibility as ambassadors for our planet to do whatever we can to protect these wild places and that’s what this collaboration with Gerry and The Conservation Alliance is all about.”

Celebrate & Support Oregon’s Indigenous Heritage The Museum at Warm Springs kicks off its annual membership drive

Don't try this at home, though these skateboards have the power to set you free.

The Street Surfer line includes three different styles of boards: The Flatwater, a hybrid shape with medium flex and is concave, and “something that lives between a longboard and a popsicle stick.” Then there’s The Cheater, styled as a “classic longboard shape with full camber and slight concave throughout,” that features a fish tail on the rear as a callback to its surfer roots.

Lastly, there’s The Popsticle—more of your classic deck style, which SnoPlanks describes as “Perfect for curbs, parks, pools, back roads, and beer runs.” Each Courtesy SnoPlanks

These boards were made for riding; from left, the Flatwater, the Cheater and the Popsticle.

board also features the laser-etched Gerry Lopez signature on top.

In layman’s terms? All of the boards look super sick. But what else would you expect when outdoor world powerhouses collide for the greater good?

SnoPlanks officially joined The Conservation Alliance in January of this year and is already looking to make a difference through its gear. The money raised for grants given out by The Alliance will be sent out to different wildlife organizations working toward protecting North America’s natural areas and landscapes. If you work for a nonprofit organization or know someone who does, more information on these grants is online at conservationalliance.com.

“We’re both excited and humbled by the commitment that SnoPlanks has made with their Street Surfer line,” said Conor McElyea, program manager at The Conservation Alliance. “We appreciate the commitment brands make when becoming members of the Alliance, but 100% of proceeds for the only products they sell for an entire summer is an outstanding vote of confidence in our work, and it will have a very real impact on the amount of support we can provide our grantees in our summer grant cycle.”

“There is no right way to do the wrong thing. We start out in business to do the right thing—build the best product or offer the best service, and deal with the endless problems that come with trying to do that. But suddenly we have a much bigger problem on our hands. Our planet is in crisis and our business is about saving our world.

This is a problem that all of us need to incorporate into our everyday lives.

The wrong thing is not doing anything,” said Lopez.

You can find the Street Surfer collection online at snoplanks.com.

Just an hour north of Bend lies a striking structure that houses The Museum at Warm Springs. The museum is a cultural hub that has been preserving and sharing the traditions of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs since 1993. The annual membership drive is an effort to raise awareness about its mission and to grow the membership base.

This year’s drive is in honor of Board of Directors member and ancestor Kenneth Smith.

Smith passed away in May of 2020 and was well known for his devotion to the Warm Springs community and the museum. Bill Flood, part of the museum’s Community Development team, remembers Smith as a “gentle, collaborative and super, super smart guy.”

In addition, The Roundhouse Foundation is matching any funds from new museum memberships during this drive. Nearly 30 years after its opening, the team behind the museum works to provide unique events and exhibits that highlight indigenous history and culture.

Flood notes that upcoming events include fundraisers centered around indigenous literature from the past, present and future. On Friday, Aug. 27 and Saturday, Aug. 28 the Museum will host its annual Honor Dinner and Celebration in Portland. U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo and author and Warm Springs elder George W. Aguilar, Sr. will be honored at this year’s event with a chance for indigenous youth to tell their own stories.

Members are asked to make a financial contribution and receive free access to museum exhibits, special event invites and join a community of those designed to support the museum and its mission.

“The Museum at Warm Springs is about educating the world about preservation, advancement, and sharing of Indigenous cultures throughout the Northwest and beyond,” says Museum Director Elizabeth A. Woody.

CRAFT

Beer for the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes and Forests

Crux is one of eight Oregon breweries taking part in a collaboration aimed at supporting the state’s land trusts

By Brian Yaeger

M

ountains, rivers, lakes and forests have long been tools to promote beer brands. Now beer is being used to promote them. Eight Oregon breweries including Bend’s own Crux Fermentation Project have each created beers called The Oregon I Am in support of the Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts. A land trust is a nonprofit organization that takes authority over—or in some cases ownership of—property at the behest of the private owner.

They’re often the places you drink beeron-the-go while hiking, floating, birding or simply admiring.

The reasons craft breweries switched from glass bottles to aluminum cans are many, but one of them certainly was that lightweight cans can easily be packed in to, well, mountains, rivers, lakes and forests.

COLT is the statewide association consisting of some 30 nonprofit land trusts and conservation organizations, and it’d love nothing more than for you to drink any or all of the eight Oregon I Am beers at the 80-plus locales the beers are designed to promote. A map of said land trusts can be found at TheOregonIAm.org.

Bend’s Crux Fermentation Project went the extra mile by not just brewing a beer for the great outdoors; brewmaster Larry Sidor and his team brewed their beer in the great outdoors. Brewhouses are sanitized for good reason; to keep the bugs (microfauna and other bacteria) out of the finished product. But Crux’s The Oregon I Am is an “experimental IPA,” made at the Deschutes Land Trust’s Camp Polk Meadow Preserve along Whychus Creek. (A portion of the sales go to the DLT.) The part that makes it an IPA isn’t all that experimental; it’s hopped with Oregon-grown Sterling, Mosaic and Centennial hops. But instead of the usual tanks you may have spied on a brewery tour or behind a brewpub’s windows, Crux brought out a massive pan called a coolship. Coolships allow for spontaneous fermentation, inviting in ambient yeast. Such beers generally end up on the funky, “sour” side, and many months from now it’ll show up as the fourth installment of its Gypsy Coolship series. But the batch was split so part of it could be fermented faster using a yeast strain called Kveik, and that beer debuts this week.

Visit the Crux pub on June 25—or other participating breweries if you find yourself in Portland or Enterprise or Eugene—for a toast during happy hour from 4:30-6 pm. A virtual happy

The Crux of it all—support public lands!

hour with introductions to the project and beers will take place online by registering at OregonLandTrusts.org.

The other breweries are Von Ebert and Little Beast from Portland, Wolves & People in Newberg, Terminal Gravity in Enterprise, Eugene’s Ninkasi and Oakshire, and Ferment Brewing in Hood River. Oregonian touches abound, from Ferment partnering with Friends of the Columbia River Gorge to Little Beast’s first-ever sour beer focusing on Oregon’s native fruit, the mighty marionberry.

“I’m looking forward to trying all of them,” said Von Ebert owner Tom Cook. “I continue to be impressed with these types of projects, with the time and effort breweries put into them. Ten times out of 10, these one-off projects yield some fabulous beer.” Again, the purpose of all this is to inspire people to get involved with protection and conservation efforts to ensure not just that the land trusts survive, but the lands themselves. If it takes an eight-pack of terroir-driven beers to get Oregonians to care about something they should already care about, then bottoms up.

Truth be told, COLT would like you to do more than just drink beer, but as Oregonians, you’re sort of pegged as being local craft beer drinkers. It’s one of our things.

We also really love the outdoors, so getting you to drink a tasty brew while romping in or dreaming about ponds, waterfalls, high deserts or the coast isn’t that big of an ask.

But furtively, the land trusts need more user involvement, specifically in the form of volunteers or financial gifts.

COLT Executive Director Kelley Beamer is aware that most Oregonians who actively support their local land trusts skew toward older generations.

And not that Boomers and the like don’t love beer, too, but this campaign is aimed at citizens who’ve yet to contribute their time or ducats.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Trailblazing

ed with yearning I thought it would drown me,” wrote Cancerian author Denis Johnson. I don’t expect that will be a problem for you anytime soon.

You’re not in danger of getting swept away by a tsunami of insatiable desire. However, you may get caught in a current of sweet, hot passion. You could be carried for a while by waves of aroused fascination. You might find yourself rushing along in a fast-moving stream of riled-up craving. But none of that will be a problem as long as you don’t think you have something better to do. In fact, your time in the cascading fl ow may prove to be quite intriguing—and ultimately useful.

Capricorn psychoanalyst Ernest Jones (1879–1958) said, “There is no sense of contradiction within the unconscious; opposite ideas exist happily side by side.” In other words, it’s normal and natural to harbor paradoxical attitudes; it’s healthy and sane to be awash in seemingly incongruous blends. I hope you will use this astrologically propitious time to celebrate your own inner dichotomies, dear Capricorn. If you welcome them as a robust aspect of your deepest, truest nature, they will serve you well. They’ll make you extra curious, expansive, and non-dogmatic. (PS: Here’s an example, courtesy of psychologically savvy author Stephen Levine: “For as long as I can remember the alternate antics of the wounded child and the investigations of the ageless Universal played through me.”)

gy innovator Carl Jung, born under the sign of Leo, was one of the 20th century’s greatest intellects.

His original ideas about human nature are central to my philosophy. One of my favorite things about him is his appreciation for feelings. He wrote, “We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling. Therefore, the judgment of the intellect is, at best, only half of the truth, and must, if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy.” I bring this to your attention, Leo, because the coming weeks will be a favorable time to upgrade your own appreciation for the power of your feelings to help you understand the world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): For the indigenous Ojibway people, the word Adizokan means both “story” and “spirit.” In fact, story and spirit are the same thing. Everything has a spirit and everything has a story, including people, animals, trees, lakes, rivers, and rocks. Inspired by these thoughts, and in accordance with cosmic omens, I invite you to meditate on how your life stories are central elements of your spirit. I further encourage you to spend some tender, luxurious time telling yourself the stories from your past that you love best. For extra delightful bonus fun, dream up two prospective stories about your future that you would like to create. (Info about Adizokan comes from Ann and John Mahan at SweetWaterVisions.com.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Aslı ErdoÐan writes, “It had been explained to me from my earliest childhood that I would know love—or that thing called ‘love’—as long as I was smart and academically brilliant. But no one ever taught me how to get that knowledge.” I’m sorry to say that what was true for her has been true for most of us: No one ever showed us how to find and create and cultivate love. We may have received haphazard clues now and then from our parents and books and movies. But we never got a single day of formal instruction in school about the subject that is at the heart of our quest to live meaningful lives.

That’s the bad news, Libra. The good news is that the rest of 2021 will be one of the best times ever for you to learn important truths about love.

tarist Django Reinhardt was a celebrated jazz musician in occupied France during World War II. Amazingly, he was able to earn good money by performing frequently—even though he fi t descriptions that the rampaging Germans regarded as abhorrent. Nazis persecuted the Romani people, of which he was one. They didn’t ban jazz music, but they severely disapproved of it. And the Nazis hated Jews and Blacks, with whom Reinhardt loved to hang out. The obstacles you’re facing aren’t anywhere near as great as his, but I propose we make him your role model for the next four weeks. May he inspire you to persist and even thrive in the face of challenges!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author Richard Matheson believed we’ve become too tame and mild. “We’ve forgotten,” he wrote, about “how to rise to dizzy heights.” He mourned that we’re too eager to live inside narrow boundaries.

“The full gamut of life is a shadowy continuum,” he continued, “that runs from gray to more gray. The rainbow is bleached.” If any sign of the zodiac has the power to escape blandness and averageness, it’s you Pisceans—especially in the coming weeks.

I invite you to restore the rainbow to its full vivid swath: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Maybe even add a few colors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Author Albert Camus advised everyone to “steal some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self.”

That’s excellent advice for you to heed in the coming days. The cosmos has authorized you to put yourself first and grab all the renewal you need.

So please don’t scrimp as you shower blessings on yourself. One possible way to accomplish this goal is to go on a long stroll or two. Camus says, “It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter.” But I think you are indeed likely to be visited by major epiphanies and fantastic new meanings.

in a spaceship to the moon in 1971, Scorpio astronaut Alan Shepard didn’t think he’d get carried away with a momentous thrill once he arrive at his destination. He was a manly man not given to outward displays of emotion. But when he landed on the lunar surface and gazed upon the majestic sight of his home planet hanging in the sky, he broke into tears.

I’m thinking you may have similar experiences in the coming weeks. Mind-opening, heart-awakening experiences may arrive. Your views of the Very Big Picture could bring healing upheavals.

was Zimbabwe’s leader for 37 years. In the eyes of some, he was a revolutionary hero. To others he was an oppressive dictator. He was also the chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe, where his wife Grace received her PhD just two months after she started classes. I suspect that you, too, will have an expansive capacity to advance your education in the coming weeks—although maybe not quite as much as Grace seems to have had. You’re entering a phase of super-learning.

I hope you will capitalize on it! Take your time as you tune in to the luminescent souls of the people you value. Become more deeply attuned to their uniquely gorgeous genius.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “We were clever enough to turn a laundry list into poetry,” wrote author Umberto Eco. Judging from astrological omens, I suspect you’re now capable of accomplishing comparable feats in your own sphere. Converting a chance encounter into a useful new business connection? Repurposing a seeming liability into an asset? Capitalizing on a minor blessing or breakthrough to transform it into a substantial blessing or breakthrough? All these and more are possible.

Your Coastal Connection the water meter over a short time period. If no water has been used, the water meter should not have moved.

Leaks can amount to gallons of wasted water per day. Make sure the toilet isn’t leaking by adding food coloring to the tank. If it appears in the bowl, there’s a leak. These leaks are easily remedied and will save many gallons of water.

When buying new appliances, make sure they’re Energy-Star certified. A full-sized Energy-Star-certified clothes washer uses 13 gallons of water per load, compared to the 23 gallons used by a standard machine.

That’s more than 3,000 gallons of water saved per year.

As a country, households use an estimated 29 billion gallons of water a day. Almost 30% of that, about 9 billion gallons, is used for outdoor water use. In hot summer months, or in dry climates, a household’s outdoor water use is considerably higher. Use xeriscaping or a water-wise landscaping plan to reduce water use and still provide beautiful curb appeal. Hire an irrigation tech to tune up the sprinkler system and make sure the proper amount of water is being used at the right times and without leaks, further reducing water usage.

Applying a few basic steps to your routine like washing full laundry loads, taking shorter showers or turning off the faucet while brushing teeth will help sustain our water resources in Central Oregon. Look for more tips at epa.gov/watersense/start-saving.

he vast open skies and long, beautiful days of playing in the sunshine are top reasons many live in and simply love Central Oregon.

Everyone has heard that Bend has 300 days of sunshine a year—maybe a slight exaggeration, but not far from the truth. The Bend Visitor Center says that, on average, Bend has the highest number of sunny days in the state with around 158 sunny days and 105 mostly sunny days.

This seems like a fantastic situation. However, with a little further thought someone might ask, with all of that sunshine, where does the water come from? After all, this is the high desert, and there is very little precipitation here. Typically, Central Oregonians enjoy sparkling drinking water that began as snowmelt in the Cascades. Irrigation water is delivered to Bend residents and farmers via canals from the Deschutes River.

Gov. Kate Brown signed a pair of executive orders declaring drought emergencies in seven Central and Eastern Oregon counties due to lack of precipitation and unusually low snowpack and streamflow.

It’s time to reduce our water consumption, and one area that can become more water efficient is in our homes. Here are some tips to help use water more efficiently and reduce heavy water consumption. A first step is to make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing system. This can be tested by a plumber, or turn off all water to the home and watch

My ex cheated on me and conned me financially, but before I realized this, I had really fallen for him. I miss him and keep thinking about him every day, and I can’t seem to stop.

A friend suggested I get a spell from a witchcraft store. She insists this helped her have closure after her bad breakup. I’m a rational person, and this sounds completely ridiculous, but nothing I’ve tried (from meditation to venting to total strangers to dating other people) has helped.

Please tell me this is completely stupid.

—Plagued It’s a tempting idea, the notion that you can solve your lingering emotional issues via retail, a la “Curses: Today only, two for $19.99!”

In fact, a ritual—such as casting a spell or hockey player Stephan Lebeau always chewing 20 to 25 pieces of gum and spitting them out two minutes before faceoff—can have a positive effect. I know this sounds rather cuckoopants; however, it isn’t because the ritual works in any supernatural way.

A ritual, explains Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino, is some “symbolic activity” you perform in hopes of making something happen. Gino finds that performing rituals leads to “increased feelings of control.”

This can help the ritual-doer calm down and be more in control. Amazingly, even those who think the ritual they’re doing is total hooey experience this benefit—what I’d call the abracadabra placebo effect. Our psychology seems tuned to figure if we’re taking some action, it’s for a reason: to make things better.

You might create an eviction ritual to get the guy out of your head. I suggest writing the story of your relationship, including what you learned that will help you avoid entanglements with future Mr. Rottens. Psychologist James Pennebaker finds that “expressive writing”—even 15 minutes spent describing the emotional impact of a bad experience—helps us reinterpret and make sense of what happened so we can go forward instead of endlessly rechewing the past. Invite a friend over (or dress up your cat) to bear witness, and then say a few words, light the story on fire, and flush the ashes.

This should help you accept it’s over, though, admittedly, without the finality of the day of celebration you probably think the guy deserves: Casual Human Sacrifice Friday. n

A guy I know grates on me because he only has female friends. He apparently tried to get involved with each of them at some point but got rejected. Why doesn’t he find male friends instead of preying on women (under the guise of friendship) who probably trust him not to hit on them?

—Disgusted This guy probably lives in eternal hope about each female friend, dreaming of the day he can be of service when she drops something on his floor—like her panties.

Though you don’t mention him trying to roofie his dreams into reality, his behavior probably “grates” on you because you take a less sexually opportunistic approach to your friendships with men.

We humans “are disposed... to imagine that other minds are much like our own,” explains anthropologist Donald Symons, and they often are. However, we’re prone to assume they should be like our own, so when someone thinks differently, we tend to see them as wrong (and maybe kind of awful) and not just different.

Men and women (and male and female minds) are more alike than different. However, our differing physiologies—like which sex gets pregnant and needs to guard against having to raise a kid solo—led to the evolution of psychological differences, like women’s greater choosiness in whom they’ll have sex with.

Though both men and women sometimes tumble into bed with their opposite-sex friends, for many men, the friendship zone seems to double as a “well, try your best to turn her into a sexfriend!” zone.

Evolutionary psychologist April Bleske-Rechek, researching sex differences in how people perceive their opposite-sex friends, finds that a man is more likely to define a female friend as someone he’s attracted to “and would pursue given the opportunity,” while a woman is more likely to define a male friend simply as “a friend of the opposite sex.”

Maybe you think friendship should be a “safe space,” guaranteed to remain endlessly platonic. And maybe that’s unrealistic—unless you avoid having friends who might hit on you. You could try to view this guy’s behavior in a more compassionate light. Chances are he’s a beta male who can’t compete with the alphas in the normal mating sphere, like on Tinder or at parties. He’s probably doing the best he can with the one edge he has, the scheme-y smarts to surround himself with a bunch of pretty ladies. (Living in a dude-filled monastery only works for a guy whose pet name for his beloved is “The Almighty.”)
