We spend a lot of time talking about housing and homelessness in the news biz — and one big piece of the housing puzzle that people might not quite understand is Oregon’s land-use laws and how they impact where housing can go. Jack Harvel outlines that system on the 50th anniversary of Oregon’s landmark land-use law.

Meanwhile, Donna Britt scouts the flavor-packed goodness at Woodfire Pizza, Doone Williams introduces us to Boneyard’s new music stage, and Jared Rasic has his take on the top Stephen King films of all time – with a review for one that’s out now.

sk the average person in Central Oregon what the most pressing issues we face here are, and chances are that they’ll include housing and homelessness in their answers. With staggering rent increases and plenty of inflation, the number of people who don’t have a proper place to live is skyrocketing. It’s a problem so great that in 2022, state legislators took action by creating a pilot program aimed at helping local governments collaborate and pool resources on the issue.

In Deschutes County, that program is called the Coordinated Houseless Response Office, one of eight such offices created under Rep. Jason Kropf’s House Bill 4123.

Nine months into a two-year pilot, our local governments appear to be blowing it.

The executive director of the program announced her resignation late last month. While some allege that Cheyenne Purrington embellished her resume to get the position – one she took after the similar organization she led in Lake Tahoe encountered financial troubles – she can hardly be held accountable for all of the missteps thus far.

In a story we published last week, Bend City Councilor Megan Perkins told the Source Weekly that the City of Bend, Deschutes County and other Central Oregon city stakeholders had yet to even iron out a “roles and responsibilities” agreement that would define which entities were responsible for what. The board responsible for overseeing the Coordinated Houseless Response Office had only met a “few times,” she said. Deschutes County Commissioner Patti Adair, the chair of the governing board, is responsible for putting those meetings together, and when asked, stated that each meeting was “lengthy and substantive.” Yet nine months into a two-year pilot, the office has yet to accomplish some significant goals, including adopting an interim work plan or forming an advisory

council. Purrington also argued in her resignation letter that her role was undefined, with little authority, and that her main role was responding to the clearing of camps rather than working on broader strategies and solutions.

It appears this office cannot yet even agree on an approach, let alone in any strategy that actually sees people moving off the streets.

The spirit of the CHRO office was a good one, and it was supported at the state legislative level with $1 million to get it off the ground and to get an oversight board in place. But when the oversight board itself makes apparent missteps that stall progress and frustrate those who are actively working with those experiencing homelessness, it begs the question: Who’s overseeing the overseers? And when they appear to be less-than-diligent stewards of government funds, who loses?

Situations like this only offer fodder for those in the community who believe that the solution for dealing with those experiencing homelessness is to either do nothing and spend nothing, in the hopes that a lack of humanitarian services will spur people to leave Central Oregon. That’s hardly the approach this editorial board supports.

Some are now calling for the entire CHRO to be moved under the purview of the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, where the solutions posed can be regional ones rather than county ones.

Whatever the changes to come, they need to ensure more accountability among the local officials who are leading this charge, so as to help more people get housed faster and reduce the public safety concerns that exist when people live in unsafe and fire-prone conditions. If this is truly the number-one issue for Central Oregonians at this point in time, then Central Oregonians should be paying close attention and calling for proper governance.

GUEST OPINION: A WARNING FROM CALIFORNIA

You have to wonder why someone thought Representative Lori ChavezDeRemer deserves the honor of being Central Oregon Community College’s commencement speaker. This is just some of her record: • Chavez-DeRemer voted for an anti-transgender bill that would require that “sex … be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth” for the purposes of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act. The bill passed the House.

• As mayor of Happy Valley, ChavezDeRemer opposed naming the new high school in Happy Valley after Adrienne Nelson, a Happy Valley resident and the first Black woman to serve on the Oregon Supreme Court or on Oregon’s federal bench.

She claimed that naming the school after Nelson "divides our community." The school was ultimately named after Judge Nelson.

• Chavez-DeRemer said, “The Radical Left has been forcing its woke agenda into our children’s education for too long.” “Our children are being taught to hate each other based on the color of their skin, under the guise of ‘equity.'” “In Congress, I will fight for a Parental Bill of Rights….” And she did. The bill passed the House.

• Chavez-DeRemer opposes the Biden Administration’s loan forgiveness plan even though she received more than $1.3 million in pandemic loans that were forgiven. After she signed an amicus brief opposing Biden’s Executive Order providing student debt relief, she followed with a vote for the bill to overturn the Executive Order. The bill passed the House.

What do COCC students think? Maybe COCC should rethink their choice?

Now that price gouging has come to Bend, Oregon, here is what I fear might happen next.

My old hippie town in California is now an outdoor mall. In what was formally a stronghold for cultural creatives, the so-called gentlemen's coup of bourgeoisie imperialism now forms a nearly complete ideological monopoly. The town’s capitalist New Jerusalem informs almost every instinct and patterns almost every human interaction.

Downtown, the “essential worker” can momentarily merge with the wealthy, but only in fantasy, as they are essentially not included in the town’s giddy “growth.” For everyone but the business class, “growth” is word-voodoo for a concentration of wealth for the wealthy, racial cleansing, price inflation, wage reduction, near slave labor and unaffordable housing. Unhoused essential workers know that as prices soar, wages have lost their value and labor its meaning.

My old town is not an economic miracle. It is an economic fever dream of instant gratification, a capitalist utopia infantilizing adults. The old-timers and hippies there are now spiritually displaced; they live in a near total surround sound of decadent fun masking the economics of loneliness, of isolation for profit.

So here is warning from California, a dose of healthy cynicism for the free-market radicals and landed gentry of the Bend bubble.

If Bend goes by way of California, the Faustian bargain of your town’s head to toe makeover into an open-air mall of frantic consumerism will continue to vanish individual worth. As the unnatural profit motive (by what economists call the free market of “planned misery”) forms the basis of society and you are metaphysically starved of substance, of an authentic collective life, you will turn

inward and replace real needs with artificial needs and their satisfaction. Driven mad by grief, by the for-profit motive as the essential activity, an essentially meaningless activity, you will turn more and more to entertainment, fantasy politics, technology, and to synthetic drugs for meaningful relation. That is, you will turn to a total encirclement of machines to ward off the total encirclement of the Machine Age. Feelings of isolation, futility and desperation will rise amongst your neighbors. Your symbiotic identification with the rich downtown will still not make your workers, farmers or poor rich, only amplify manufactured needs that can never be gratified. Shantytowns will continue to spring up in your National Forests to warehouse people regarded as human garbage by the police state and media class.

As substantive needs of your collective life are systematically starved, your intellectual brain trust; the vanguard, the reformer, musician, artist, leftist, farmer and pilgrim having no social role will be moved into slums, cleansed by pure capitalism. Those amongst you who denounce Bend’s ideological project will be excluded from the economy and form a shadow, black-market class.

The healthy opposition, meanwhile, that these activist networks represented will, too, be purged. Their contrary values and competing worldviews, and a political philosophy that might cap necessities, offer meaningful dissent, or temper Bend’s economic trance; all they

might hold for hope of a Human Way of Life in Bend — will disappear.

That would be my positive prediction.

— Asher Lyman

I AM SAD... I AM MAD I know why the Sheriff’s office has work details, and, in general, this is a good thing. Yesterday, however, one of these groups obliterated ALL of the gorgeous blue flax plants that grew on either side of the block of Murphy Rd. between 3rd and Parrell in South Bend.

In the morning they were there, blooming their little hearts out…a lovely carpet of blue. By afternoon, they were just gone. Why? These flowers provided an oasis for passersby who walk or drive this way. I believe there needs to be some thought about where these crews do their work. Really…we need more Nature, not less.

ONA Issues Strike Notice

St. Charles could be down hundreds of workers next week if a compromise isn’t reached WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 8, 2023 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Jack Harvel Jack Harvel

S

t. Charles nursing staff gave notice that they’ll start striking on June 12 if a contract isn’t reached. Nurses at the St. Charles Bend Medical Center made public their intent to strike on June 1, after voting to authorize a strike earlier in the week. The Oregon Nurses Association collected votes from roughly 1,000 nurses between May 16 and 21, and said 96% of its members voted in favor of authorizing a strike.

“St. Charles had said in email communications to their staff, and then press releases, that the threat of a strike action is a common ploy used by nurses to advance contract negotiations,” ONA President Tammy Cline said at a press conference. “I want to tell the people of Central Oregon that that is simply not true. A strike is a very, very serious action. And it is one that ONA and the nurses here at St. Charles have taken not very lightly.”

St. Charles registered nurses haven’t gone on strike in over 40 years, though other health care professionals have engaged in strikes as recently as 2021.

The hospital system and ONA have been negotiating for about six months.

Bargaining last occurred in 2019, when negotiations lasted for over nine months but never amounted to a strike — though nurses did vote to authorize one. Erin Harrington, an RN and chair of ONA’s bargaining team, said the biggest demand is hiring and retaining more nurses. Though she wasn’t involved in the last bargaining session, she said the issues in the hospital system have only gotten worse since then.

“We had a lot of issues at that time [in 2019]; they have definitely escalated.

We have not been able to recruit, retain, as we once were able to in this area. And

Oregon Nurses Association President Tammy Cline speaks with reporters during a press conference the day after serving a 10-day notice to strike to St. Charles.

because of that the nurses that are left are really struggling. That struggle trickles down to the patient and creates conditions that none of us are comfortable with anymore,” Harrington said.

Those conditions result in longer wait times for patients and missed meals and breaks for staff. Nurses and St. Charles were scheduled to meet on June 6 and 7 to continue bargaining, and a federal mediator is being brought in to aid in negotiations. If neither parties reach an agreement, the regional health care hub could be severely impacted in its operations.

Nurses picket outside St. Charles on April 24.

“Should the nurses strike, we expect services to be greatly impacted and those impacts will be felt throughout our region. As the only Level Two Trauma Center east of the Cascades in Oregon, we believe a strike will essentially result in disruption of services for multiple counties. While we will do our best to put contingency plans and staffing into place, we also need patients to be prepared for longer wait times, cancellations of planned procedures and an increased need for medical transport hospitals in Portland, Seattle and Boise as a result of the strike,” said Iman Simmons, chief operating officer at St. Charles Health System, in a press release.

St. Charles is working on contingency plans that include bringing in temporary replacement workers and potentially shutting down services until departments' staffing returns to normal. The hospital system said they’ve already bumped up pay by $5 an hour for registered nurses at the Bend campus and is prepared to increase wages by nearly 25% over the span of the three-and-a-half year contract being negotiated, which St. Charles says averages at about $108,000 a year.

St. Charles spokespeople also said they’re working on recruiting and retaining staff.

“We're offering to significantly increase shift differentials in places like night shifts and our flow pools to make sure that we can attract talented and skilled nurses to join our St. Charles team and fill the gaps where we have the hardest time recruiting,” said Julie Ostrom, a

“None of us want to strike, but the nurses at St. Charles believe that taking this action is the only way that our concerns are going to be heard, taken seriously and addressed by St. Charles management.”

—Erin Harrington senior nursing leader and member of St. Charles’ bargaining team. “These are just a few of the many things that we've been discussing at the table over many bargaining sessions and a reflection of some of the key issues and what we've offered.”

Simmons said St. Charles has hired 118 RNs for the Bend hospital and has brought in more than 40 from a nurse residency program. Both ONA and St. Charles said they don’t wish for a strike to occur, and hope the next bargaining sessions are more productive.

“None of us want to strike, but the nurses at St. Charles believe that taking this action is the only way that our concerns are going to be heard, taken seriously and addressed by St. Charles management,” Harrington said.

Intimidating Note, Dead Raccoon Left at Redmond Mayor’s Law Office Police are investigating the incident as a potential bias crime

A

n unknown suspect placed a menacing note and a dead racoon at the door to Redmond Mayor Ed Fitch’s law firm offices on Monday morning, and the Redmond Police Department is investigating it as a potential bias crime. The sign referenced both Fitch and Redmond City Councilor Clifford Evelyn with what police say is intimidating language.

“I can't go into detail, but it obviously had some hateful language in there, references on race. It's unfortunate because it's not really reflective of what our community is. But we always have some whackos out there who do what they do,” Fitch said.

The Redmond Police Department said the crime is being investigated as a potential bias crime in the second degree. That designation includes property crimes that cause substantial inconvenience to another person based on race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or national orientation.

“The Redmond Police Department has no tolerance for hate speech of any kind, against any person or group,” Redmond Police Chief Devin Lewis said in a press release. “We will work swiftly to resolve this case and seek to hold those who did this to our community responsible,"

states Police Chief Devin Lewis.

Redmond Police are asking anyone who may know who is responsible or witnessed any suspicious activity near the offices to report it to their non-emergency phone number. Neither Evelyn nor Fitch elaborated on the message of the letter, saying it could jeopardize a police investigation. Both expressed disappointment in the action but said it’s not indicative of Redmond and of the work the City Council is doing.

“Redmond is moving in a positive direction, and we want to keep it on that course. We're not going to be distracted by outside events, things like that, that's all that is, is a distraction. And we're going to ignore the distractions and just stay the course,” Evelyn said.

Several groups called for supporters to support the city councilors at a special meeting on June 6. Bend Mayor Melanie Kebler and two Bend city councilors denounced the behavior and called for people to attend the June 6 meeting. Building Redmond’s Future, a political action committee dedicated to civic education, also called for people to attend the meeting to show support.

“This is not Redmond, but it will be if we do not show up and voice our

outrage. Our City Council needs our support,” Building Redmond’s Future founder Adam DuQuette wrote in a call to action. “Let our numbers speak loudest. The more from our community that shows up, even if we do not have a chance to speak, the stronger our support. I am calling on every person to cancel plans (as I have) and show up to tomorrow night's meeting in a show of support and solidarity for our City Council.”

There’s no public comment on the agenda for the meeting, though in recent months, the public comment periods at the Redmond City Council meetings have become iincreasingly politicized. In March, Fitch paused a meeting during a raucous public comment section after the Deschutes County Republic Party Chairman and People’s Rights member Scott Stuart referred to Evelyn by name.

Activists Call for Breese-Iverson’s Resignation

The Oregon representative’s son was photographed doing a Nazi salute in front of a replica Nazi plane

By Jack Harvel

A

ctivists demanded House Minority Leader Vikki Breese-Iverson’s (R-Prineville) resignation on Friday, June 2, after a photograph of her teenage son and another person doing Nazi salutes in front of a replica German aircraft with a swastika spread on social media. The Central Oregon Diversity Project also demanded the high school student be removed from school and that higher institutions he may have applied to be made aware of the act.

The salute occurred during a school field trip to the Erickson Aircraft collection in Madras, which houses a number of historical planes. Breese-Iverson posted an apology on Facebook the next day, for what she said was her son’s “extremely poor judgement.” She said she and her husband have spoken to the Crook County school district about disciplining her son. In the post she also included a handwritten apology that she said was written by her son.

Vikki Breese Iverson

“It was a dumb mistake. I really get that now. Doing something bad in the moment without thinking can cause harm. I apologized to anyone that was offended and have accepted the punishment handed down to me by the school and my parents,” the letter said.

Freshman State Representative Emerson Levy (D-Bend) responded to the incident online, saying she doesn’t believe Breese-Iverson personally holds or supports antisemitic beliefs, but called for greater education about the Holocaust. Levy said the photo is inexcusable and offensive, and clarified she’s speaking on behalf of herself and her Jewish family and not the Jewish community at large.

“Our children must learn history, the bad and the good, to ensure the darker moments aren’t repeated,” Levy wrote. “In an era where books are once again banned, there are some that prefer to ignore to rewrite history for their own narrative and to ease their own mind.”

La Asociación de Enfermeros de Oregon emite aviso de huelga Por / By Jack Harvel Traducido por/Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar

enfermeros votaron para autorizar una huelga. Erin Harrington, RN y presidenta del equipo de negociación de ONA, dijo que la petición más grande es contratar y retener a más enfermeros. Aunque no participó en la última sesión de negociación, dijo que los asuntos en el sistema hospitalario solo han empeorado desde ese entonces.

“Tuvimos muchos problemas en ese entonces [2019]; definitivamente han aumentado. No hemos podido reclutar, retener a personal, como se hacía en esta zona. Y por eso, los enfermeros que siguen presentes en verdad se están esforzando. Ese esfuerzo causa un efecto hacia el paciente y crea situaciones en las que ninguno de nosotros

nos sentimos cómodos,” comentó Harrington.

Esas situaciones contribuyen a una espera más larga para los pacientes y a que no les lleguen sus alimentos y que el personal no tome su descanso. Los enfermeros y St. Charles tenían previsto reunirse el 6 y 7 de junio para continuar con las negociaciones y se está contratando a un mediador federal para ayudar con las negociaciones. Si ninguna de las partes llega a un acuerdo, el centro de atención médica de la región podría verse gravemente afectado en sus operaciones.

“Si los enfermeros entran en huelga, los servicios podrían verse gravemente afectados y eso puede verse a lo largo

de la región. Siendo el único Centro de atención de Traumas de nivel dos al este de Oregon, creemos que una huelga interrumpiría los servicios en varios condados. Si bien haremos todo posible para implementar un plan de contingencia y personal, también necesitamos que los pacientes estén preparados para esperas más largas, cancelaciones de los procedimientos programados y un aumento en lo relacionado al transporte médico a los hospitales de Portland, Seattle y Boise como resultado de la huelga,” dijo en una rueda de prensa el señor Iman Simmons, Director de Operaciones de St.Charles Health System.

of Unique Land Use

Oregon’s land-use laws are one of a kind in the U.S. They’re both beloved and reviled, 50 years after Senate Bill 100 was signed into law

By Jack Harvel Senate Bill 100 sought to preserve farms and forestland in Oregon, but also encouraged cities to be dense.

I

n 1973 Oregon Gov. Tom McCall signed Senate Bills 100 and 101, creating the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and 14 statewide planning goals and protections to farmland. It was the most ambitious and powerful statewide land-use decision any state undertook before or since. No other state regulates land use to the extent Oregon does, creating a framework for landuse planning that every city and county must adhere to, and is subject to review by the DLCD. When SB100 passed, Oregonians felt pressure about the speed of development. Suburbs exploded in the post-World War II era, with more than 1.5 million new homes built annually between 1946 and 1955. In Oregon those suburbs were placed on farmlands and forestlands in the Willamette Valley.

“The gravest threat to the environment and to the whole quality of life lies in unfettered spoiling of the land. Sagebrush subdivisions, coastal developments begun without vision, and disorderly growth in the Willamette Valley threaten to mock Oregon’s status as the environmental model for the nation,” McCall said in a 1973 speech. “We are in dire need of a state landuse policy, new subdivision laws, and new standards for planning and zoning by cities and counties.”

Oregonians at the time feared the loss of nature and farmland would fundamentally change the nature of the state. Decades before bumper stickers declaring “Bend Sucks, Don’t Move Here” adorned Central Oregonian’s Subarus, Gov. McCall had a very similar message.

“We want you to visit our state of excitement often.

Come again and again. But for heaven’s sake, don’t move here to live. Or if you do have to move in to live, don’t tell any of your neighbors where you’re going,” McCall said.

SB100 lays out 19 statewide planning goals. Its first goal is public involvement, which mandates local governments to have citizen involvement programs for land use. Other goals define agricultural, forest and scenic lands, create pollution protections and call for communities to specify their recreational and housing needs. Foremost, the legislation was

"I think in a lot of cases, land can become whatever the highest bidder wants to make it. Instead, we have a system that takes into account a number of factors, not just profit."

— Ben Gordon intended to protect farmland and forests, but mandates to cities also created denser population centers.

The legislation was and remains controversial.

Legislators introduced laws and ballot measures that would repeal or roll back SB100’s provisions as early as 1976, and other attempts were made throughout the ‘80s. In an interview with OPB, Gordon Fultz, a consultant who helped establish Oregon’s land use system, recalled having a gun pulled on him at the Capitol over the law. In the early 2000s Oregonians approved a ballot measure that reimburses rural property owners if zoning changes impact property values and allows them to retain the zoning use it was purchased as — a major contention for opponents of SB 100. The push and pull in Oregon’s land-use laws continues, with a chief focus now being affordable housing as real estate and rental prices rise.

The argument for Oregon’s land-use system Central Oregon LandWatch serves as a local watchdog for land-use issues in the region. Though Oregon’s land-use laws are strong, they still can be skirted in quasi-judicial decisions. LandWatch monitors land developments, timber sales and water use in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties, and sounds the alarm when projects could run afoul of Oregon law through public calls to actions and lawsuits. LandWatch considers itself to be a part of Oregon’s land-use system and is a strong defender of its policies.

“The framework of Oregon's land-use system shapes countless small decisions that collectively form the societal fabric of the state. Without this system, each decision would be considered individually, including decisions to remove farmland protections or expand urban boundaries, and would be at the whims of whoever the elected official is at the moment. I think in a lot of cases, land can become whatever the highest bidder wants to make it. Instead, we have a system that takes into account a number of factors, not just profit,” said Ben Gordon, executive director of Central Oregon LandWatch.

That framework keeps industries that could conflict with each other separate. For example, industrial activities are kept off farmland and housing units are placed strategically in the most livable areas. Gordon said Oregon avoided the sprawling cities like Los Angeles or Atlanta by following an intentional path of land use.

Gordon said it also helps achieve some environmental goals by reducing car travel in compact urban areas and stops encroachment onto forest and farmland.

“This balanced approach is at the core of the landuse system. It ensures an adequate supply of developable land to meet housing needs while prioritizing the majority of development within the urban growth boundaries. Simultaneously, it safeguards and retains our farm and forest lands to the greatest extent possible,” Gordon said.

LandWatch opposed Bend’s last attempted UGB expansion in 2016, and after a lot of debate and testimony from the public, experts and officials, the City Council reduced its expansion by nearly 70%. Gordon

The argument against

Bend last updated its UGB in 2016, adding 10 expansion areas and nine opportunity areas.

said less than 10% of the land identified in that expansion is still undeveloped, and that the available land offers plenty of opportunities for development.

“Within Bend's urban growth boundary, which spans approximately 2,000 acres, there is an array of properties available for different types of development. Whether a developer seeks infill opportunities or prefers a greenfield site where they can build from the ground up, there is ample space to accommodate their preferences,” Gordon said.

Oregon’s land-use laws are often blamed for the high cost of living. Gordon, however, sees a national trend in housing affordability that’s even worse in states like California, where there aren’t overarching zoning laws. He also points to a goal in SB100 that specifically requires necessary housing to be built.

“I don't think it's fair to blame it on the land-use system. In fact, the land-use system has Goal 10, which is actually sort of the requirement that the necessary amount of housing be provided for all of Oregon,” Gordon said. “The goals outline high-level values that as Oregonians we want to uphold.”

Dave Hunnicutt is the president of the Oregon Property Owners Association and a longtime critic of Oregon’s land-use laws. He philosophically disagrees with a system that restricts property rights but focuses on how this impacts opportunities to develop land and the costs carried by individuals.

“There are two things that are causing our problems. It's process, procedural process, what it takes to get an approval to do anything, and it's land supply,” Hunnicutt said. “The housing shortage that we have right now has been brewing for at least a decade.

And we've told the legislature for at least that long and probably longer.”

Hunnicutt says that UGBs lower land supplies, which raises prices on land within them, and that the longer processes to build can deter development. He argues that the interpretation of UGBs as an “impenetrable wall” around cities misrepresents the original intent, which was to guide growth, not stop it.

“It went from, ‘let's have managed growth, where we make sure that we have infrastructure planned and designed in the areas where we're going to grow,’ to, ‘we're going to choose our area where we're going to expand the boundary based on farmland protection,’ which is, with the way the priority statute is set up, means that you expand the boundary into the worst possible areas for purposes of infrastructure and development that you could possibly go,” Hunnicutt said.

He outlined three models of land use. The first, and most common in the United States, is local, with cities and counties making planning and zoning decisions.

The second is top-down development codes from the state, applied evenly to all communities in Oregon.

Oregon is unique in that it is a hybrid of these two approaches, which Hunnicutt believes creates a moving target for developers.

“The problem with that is we get a mix of regulations that are always changing, it makes it hard for the cities. And it also makes it hard for the folks that are trying to develop,” Hunnicutt said. “It would be almost better, just to pick one or the other. Either let the cities do it, or have the state do it. But not a hybrid where we have some of both, and that's what we have here.”

Hunnicutt also believes that Oregon’s land shortages could be solved with only modest increases to available land inside UGBs. Gov. Tina Kotek issued an emergency order calling for 36,000 new housing units

Tom McCall signed Senate Bill 100 into law in 1973, which created a unique land-use system in Oregon.

a year, about twice as many as what’s currently produced in the state. Hunnicut doesn’t believe it’d be possible to do that with infilling what’s currently available.

“If you look at the amount of land that's inside urban growth boundaries in Oregon, I think the public would be shocked,” Hunnicutt said. “We house basically 99% of our population on about 1.2% of the state's land. So, we could go from 1.2% to 2%, add an additional 0.8% of the land, put it inside Urban Growth Boundaries and no one would know the difference, but it would make a huge difference in housing prices.”

On June 15 City Club will host a debate on Oregon’s land-use system and its impact on urban sprawl and housing costs. In Salem a bill could put temporary authority to redraw urban growth boundaries in Kotek’s hands. Senate Bill 4 would create a $200 million fund to advance semiconductor manufacturing, and give the governor the power to bring adjacent farmland into UGBs as industrial land until June 2024, for semiconductor manufacturing. Though narrowly targeted, it would break with Oregon’s established land-use system.

Introducing “Hot Summer Nights,” a new monthly live-music event at the corner of skulls and crossbones

By Doone Lupine Williams

Rewind: Shows We Saw This Week Summer in Central Oregon is a musical feast. Here’s a recap of what the Source team enjoyed

By Nicole Vulcan Richard Sitts

Gary Hoey and band rocked the night away.

T

Sleepless Truckers (playing Hot Summer Nights Sun., Aug. 27) perform at Boneyard Pub for the recent 13th Anniversary Party in May.

B

esides making delicious craft beer for well over a decade (this year marks Boneyard Pub’s 13th Anniversary) — motorcycles, old classic cars and skulls and cross bones are a few of Boneyard Pub’s favorite things over at 1955 NE Division Street. Now adding to its unique old-town, SoCal aesthetic, the five-yearold pub has a platform for live music in the mix — its very own stage and a summerlong series of live music for us to enjoy.

Every second Sunday of the month, from June through September, the Boneyard Pub is bringing a new summer music series and event called “Hot Summer Nights.”

The events feature, “A classic car and bike cruise-in vibe with live music,” as phrased by Boneyard Pub’s General Manager Jonathan Gilliam. There will be beer (duh), dynamite Boneyard food (Gilliam believes they have the best burger and wings in town), special drinks for the occasion and “any make or model welcome” for all you car collectors out there. The first Hot Summer Night starts this Sunday, June 11 with “Bend’s Beatles Band,” JuJu Eyeball. Next, the bell-bottom rock band Superball on Sunday, July 9. And to close out the summer, Boneyard

offers its End of Summer Motorcycle Ride event on Aug. 27 with a live show

by Southern-rock and Americana grit band, Sleepless Truckers. Bands that have already stealthily hit the Boneyard Pub stage include local blues band, Black Flowers Black Sun, Audio Deck, Leftslide and Redmond’s DJ Chuck Boogie.

“We look for and book all kinds of genres.

Classic rock, punk, funk and outlaw country” Gilliam continued.

Not only is Boneyard venturing into the local music scene, the pub is surely creating a unique and safe environment for the community. I can vouch for something special and alternative happening over at the Boneyard lot, aside from my love for the black and white, gritty Goonies aesthetic. It feels like a little campus where you’re at home with the Boneyard crew. You can even catch an appearance by Owner Tony Lawrence’s bulldog puppy named Voodoo who looks like a very cute baby dinosaur. The people there are kind with stories to tell and family businesses throughout, including the Chulitas food truck. Something about the location, too — the way it’s placed right next to the train tracks, and that old-timey saloon architecture feels like you’re on some good old Bend roots with

new things happening in the right direction. The music that they're booking is going to be the perfect soundtrack.

“Myself and the staff look forward to people having a great time. We know how to throw a party,” Gilliam told the Source Weekly. “Our gritty and edgy decor with an obvious passion for motorcycles from the founder, and half the current staff — with music playlists setting the mood from Fugazi to AC/DC to Lowrider Oldies — a separate dive bar and a beer garden with Chulitas food truck are a few things that make this place unique. The pub’s vibe is an extension of Boneyard beer itself: A welcoming environment where you can come to soak up some sun in the beer garden with the dogs.”

he Source staff is pretty spoiled when it comes to seeing live music. Between invites from press people and hosting some of our own shows through our colleagues at Lay It Out Events, we see a lot of music! Throughout the summer, look for this occasional column recapping the shows we saw and what we thought.

The season at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater kicked off in late May, and by now the town has settled into its reality of hearing tunes blasting up and down river a few times a week. On June 1, I caught Julia Wolf, Arizona and Quinn XCII – a trio of fun, youthful bands.

Synth pop band Arizona was what caught my eye ahead of the show, and its sound did not disappoint.

On June 2 I caught In a Landscape, Hunter Noack’s traveling classical piano show, in Drake Park. Noack, who grew up in Bend, now takes his piano to remote, nature-filled locales all over the West in order to introduce classical music to those who haven’t experienced it before, and it’s magical.

On Saturday, Source staffer Richard Sitts caught rock n’ roll/surf/blues guitarist extraordinaire at the BBQ, Blues & Whiskey Fest at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo.

“It was a perfect evening to enjoy some live music with friends,” Sitts said. What a week!

It is a practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness. Part meditation and part nature connection, forest bathing can help you tame your mental chatter and embrace the sensations you feel in your body, helping you find yourself in the present moment. Your guide offers a guided sensory meditation and invitations to dive deep into sensory experience, activating the parasympathetic nervous system to relax and restore your body. The experience concludes with wildcrafted tea.

ROBERT STURMAN

Learn His Photography Tips or Schedule a Yoga Photo Shoot The festival is honored to host acclaimed artist, photographer and TEDTalk presenter, Robert Sturman. A dedicated yoga practitioner, Robert has increasingly focused on capturing the timeless grace and embodied mindfulness of āsana in his work. Whether set in the streets of Manhattan or the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, his work reminds us that there is beauty everywhere.

His portfolios include work in the Africa Yoga Project, the Prison Yoga Project, and the Veterans’ Yoga Project, as well as a wide-ranging repertoire from yogis perched on rocks at the edge of the Pacific Ocean to African orphans practicing in Kenya.

Top, Century Drive’s band members — Lonnie Chapin, Chad Chapin, Casey Parnell and Corey Parnell — are from Bend and put a rock twist on classic county. Bottom, Muscadine Bloodline is a Southern country duo, Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton, who perform at General Duffy’s on Thursday, June 22.

N

ational touring southern country duo, Muscadine Bloodline, performs at General Duffy’s Waterhole on Thursday, June 22, showcasing classic county harmonies and authentic lyrics. Bend's Century Drive will warm up the stage, bringing a country twist to the mix.

Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster met in 2012, both with dreams to pursue big-time music careers. After getting together to write, perform and record, the country duo named themselves Muscadine Bloodline, put out a few singles and started selling out shows across the country.

Muscadine Bloodline has racked up over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify since its first single release in 2016 — “Southern Boy Cure.” The duo’s second release — “Porch Swing Angel” — still sits as one of the band’s most popular songs, along with “Put Me In My Place” and “Me On You.” At the show, listeners can expect to hear well-loved singles along with tunes from the duo’s latest full-length album — “Teenage Dixie.” Stanton and Muncaster released the project in February and it's their longest album yet, with 16 tracks.

Century Drive’s band roster features four first names and two last names — two sets of musical powerhouse brothers from Bend. Lonnie Chapin, Chad Chapin, Casey Parnell and Corey Parnell write, record and perform country-rock songs that highlight vocal harmony and storytelling.

General Duffy’s Summer Kickin’ Concert Series continues through September with local and national headlining country musicians.

Sweet Oregon strawberries are the superstar of this simple dessert

32 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JUNE 8, 2023 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Strawberry Shortcake, a Summertime Favorite

By Donna Britt

N

ow is the time. It’s strawberry season in Oregon so that means it’s time to race on down to the nearest farmers market, fresh produce stand or grocery store and grab a pint or three of the sweetest berries on earth! Seriously, freshly picked Oregon strawberries are among the finest I’ve ever eaten and I’ve been a voracious strawberry eater my entire life.

Right now is when these tiny red jewels (don’t let the small size fool you) are ripe and juicy and so, so sweet. They’re perfect as-is, but sometimes it’s fun to use them in a recipe. I’m choosing a shortcake recipe

because it highlights the berries, and who doesn’t like a dessert with freshly whipped cream on top?

A fresh, ripe, juicy berry is key to a delicious shortcake. And the shortcake, in this case, is very much like a biscuit. I’ve tried many shortcake recipes over the years and this one has been my go-to for several seasons now. The dough is quick and easy to mix up.

The berries are showcased beautifully and it’s a perfect summertime treat, sweet but not too rich or heavy.

Serving these individual cakes hot out of the oven with the strawberries and cream on top is the way to

Strawberry Shortcakes

go, and they’re the perfect dessert for an early summer feast or picnic or a 4th of July barbecue.

If you need to transport these sweet cakes, just wrap the biscuits in foil as soon as they come out of the oven. Take your berries and whipped cream along in portable containers and assemble the cakes on-site.

If the berries are small there is no need to slice them, but if they’re bigger berries you may want to slice them before sprinkling them with sugar. I like to do a mix of both, leaving some berries whole while slicing a few others.

Serves 6 • 4 cups fresh, ripe strawberries, rinsed, hulled (and sliced if preferred) • 2-6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, to taste (or white sugar) • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 3 tablespoons sugar • 1 tablespoon baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/2 cup butter, softened • 1 large egg, beaten • 2/3 cup heavy cream, half & half or whole milk • Butter for spreading onto hot shortcakes • 1 cup heavy whipping cream • 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar • 1 teaspoon vanilla Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Chill a medium-size glass bowl and mixing beaters in freezer while preparing the berries and making the shortcakes.

Place clean berries in a bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar, to taste. The amount of brown sugar is truly to taste; start with a couple of tablespoons and add more as desired. Oregon strawberries are so sweet right now that you probably won’t need much sugar at all. Stir and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

The sugar will bring out the juiciness of the berries.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture is crumbly.

In a small bowl, combine the egg and cream until well blended. Add to flour mixture and stir until completely moist.

FRIED CHICKEN

TUESDAZE

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Pat dough to ¼-inch thickness or thereabouts. Using a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter or a sharp knife, cut out six biscuits or cakes. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake on upper oven rack about 10 minutes or until lightly brown on top.

While the cakes are baking you can whip the cream for serving. Remove chilled bowl and beaters from freezer and add cold whipping cream to the bowl. Begin beating on medium speed, slowly adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Turn mixer to high and beat until peaks are stiff but still soft.

While the cakes are still hot, split them open and butter each side. Spoon the berries and whipped cream onto the split cakes. Best served warm.

The secret to Woodfire Pies' pizza

t’s all about tending the fire.

“It’s difficult, it’s the hardest part about the whole thing. Maintaining your oven and keeping it balanced. It’s very engaging. There’s a primal element to it and it’s very exciting,” is what Stiv Reisdorph tells me when I ask him what he likes most about making pizza. Reisdorph is the owner of Woodfire Pies and I’m catching up with him at the end of four+ hours of pizza making at the Bend Farmers Market. Reisdorph and his business partner/fiancée Rae Fields are taking a quick break before they pack up and load out of the market.

In case you haven’t been to the downtown weekday market this season or caught Woodfire Pies at an event around the area, let me tell you a little about this sweet, spirited couple and their grassroots pizza making/catering business.

Reisdorph, born Steven Reisdorph, acquired the nickname Stiv when he was a kid. The nickname stuck; he refers to himself as Stiv to this day and explains that “all my friends call me Stiv.” Of course, Fields didn’t know that when she first met him and had serious doubts about dating a guy that didn’t know how to spell his own name! Happily, after a first date that she describes as “hot garbage,” Fields and Reisdorph hit it off and it wasn’t long before she was changing her life around to support his pizza-making ways.

Come to find out her new boyfriend loves making pizza. After starting his food career working in national parks, including Yellowstone and Death Valley, Reisdorph made his way to the very foodie city of Charleston, South Carolina. It was there he was thrown into the pizza “fire.”

Literally, with no prior pizza making experience, after a kitchen walkout, he was chosen as the next one in line to make the pizzas at Indaco Italian Food & Wine.

“I had to learn really fast. I got to make the dough, use the dough – I was part of the entire process, working from prep in the morning to service at night,” he recalls. The fast pace and technicality suited him and his very active mind. “I make spinning out a good dough look easy but I’ve had a lot of failures getting here,” he grins.

“Getting here” also includes getting to Bend. A few years ago Reisdorph moved back out to the PNW with plans to open a pizzeria with a friend in Washington. Things shifted and being the energetic, flexible fellow that he is, he decided to strike out on his own. He asked himself, “Where was the last place I had fun?” and he realized the answer was Bend. He had visited during his National Park days.

Being a chef and working in food always means long hours and very little free time, but he reasoned that living in Bend put him close enough to the outdoors that he could pack fun and recreational outings into his everyday existence and have a better quality of life. It wasn’t long thereafter that he met Fields and with her encouragement and support he made the very big move of getting his own pizza oven. And it’s impressive.

Imported from Modena, Italy, the Woodfire Pies oven is a mobile, traditional wood-fired oven complete with a wood storage unit underneath. It’s fascinating to watch Reisdorph standing in front of it, spinning pizzas into and out of the fire. But this is just a flashy finish to a long process. Pizza making starts back in the kitchen with the dough.

“It wants to be alive and it has its own set of feelings,” Reisdorph muses about dough. “You have to be mindful and feel it. You have to listen to your food.”

That statement was enough to make me want to eat whatever he was cooking. I opted for the Margherita pie, one of Woodfire’s specialties. The simplicity of

it reminded me of the pizzas I recently ate in Tuscany. Fresh, tomatoey sauce, creamy mozzarella, basil.

When I mention this, Fields tells me about a return customer at the market that day who told her, “I can’t eat pizza outside of Italy. But I can eat yours; it’s the closest I can find.”

“Less is more when it comes to sauce,” Reisdorph emphasizes, “and you should never cook your sauce.” He uses San Marzano style tomatoes blended with Thai basil for his.

A little bit of it smeared over the slightly charred, flavorful wood-fired dough topped with just the right amount of cheese is perfection. Of course he offers other flavors and specialty pies with a focus on high- quality ingredients and unique flavor combinations. There’s a Potato & Leek pie with caramelized onion and leek sofrito and a Thai Pork pizza with scallion, chili crisp and red sauce, for example.

Along with the weekly farmers market outing, Woodfire Pies will be doing pop-ups at Rancher Butcher Chef every Saturday in August. They’ll also be at Three Creeks Brewing during the Sisters Fresh Hop event. Woodfire Pies is also available for private events. Along with their pizza, there’s paella and Spanish tapas options for a crowd, charcuterie and other custom menus available.

While a busy summer lies ahead, the couple is planning a fall wedding and working on making their dream of a brick and mortar family-friendly restaurant come to life. For Reisdorph and Fields it’s all about helping create memories with good food.

Don’t Forget to Check Under the Bed The King of Horror returns with “The Boogeyman”

By Jared Rasic 37

10) “Dolores Claiborne:” Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh as a mother and daughter suffering from PTSD and also maybe ghosts. A surprisingly thoughtful look at abuse for 1995.

9) “1922:” Genuinely disgusting and disturbing in equal measures, this is an American Gothic reimagining of “The Telltale Heart” with Thomas Jane playing a disturbed farmer who plots to kill his wife with his teenage son. Truly nihilistic and squirm-inducing.

8) “The Green Mile:” Tom Hanks as a kind-hearted prison guard and the dearly departed Michael Clarke Duncan as a simple-minded innocent man on death row is one of the few King adaptations that make me cry every time.

7) “The Mist:” Still one of the scariest King adaptations (especially if you watch the B&W version) with an ending so dark that King even said it was more f**ked up than anything he could write himself. Mrs. Carmody (played by the astounding Marcia Gay Harden) is one of the most despicable monsters from any King movie.

6) “Misery:” Just so iconic. A writer, his biggest fan and a sledgehammer.

Unforgettable.

5) “Doctor Sleep:” Mike Flanagan actually improved upon the book with this beautifully made thriller focused on Danny Torrance (the little boy from “The Shining”) all grown up and broken as a human being. Being almost murdered by your possessed dad will do that to a kid.

Top, It’s not a Stephen King movie without a dimly lit family in trouble. Bottom, "Boogeyman" keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat.

4) “Carrie:” For everyone who was bullied in high school, “Carrie” is the telekinetic teen covered in pig’s blood that makes everyone pay at prom. Another King character that’s so detailed and real that we still care for her even as she goes on a killing spree. Sissy Spacek forever.

Worst Adaptation: “Cell:” A never-worse Sam Jackson and John Cusack fight back against…cell phone zombies?

Laughable.

3) “The Shawshank Redemption:” This one is medicine for my soul. “And for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.”

What’s your favorite Stephen King story and adaptation? With over 20 more adaptations in the works, maybe your favorite hasn’t even been made yet!

2) “Stand By Me:” Some of you didn’t go looking for a dead body with your best friends in rural Oregon when you were 12 and it really shows.

1) “The Shining:” What else would it be? It’s not a faithful adaptation of the book but it’s a great damn movie.

Best King TV series: “The Outsider:” Jason Bateman vs. a shape shifting serial killer. Is there more you need?

ust in case you weren’t sure how much I was bullied in high school, my other deep and abiding love, aside from movies, is reading. I try to read 100+ a year (I fail more than I succeed), but a chunk of those are rereads of the man who got me into books in the first place: Stephen King. Every two years I reread his magnum opus, “The Dark Tower” series, and yearly I go back and check out his short stories again.

In fact, I’ve read every single Stephen King book except for one, “Lisey’s Story,” because I need at least one of his novels to always look forward to exploring.

Also, since I’m such a King completist, I’ve watched all the film adaptations of his novels and short stories, including 10 “Children of the Corn” sequels and every TV series even loosely based on one of his books. That’s why I’ve seen all of the terrible “Under the Dome” series, the entirety of the low-budget SyFy channel travesty, “Haven,” and the ultimately terrible “Dead Zone” series.

The newest adaptation to hit the big screen is “The Boogeyman,” based on the singularly nasty short story from the collection, “Night Shift.” No spoilers, but the movie is about a therapist and his two daughters, still reeling from the loss of their wife and mother. When a patient shows up and says a shadow monster killed his children, the creature transfers its attentions onto the family and begins stalking them instead.

The film version plays as a sequel to the original story (which is just about the patient telling the therapist about his kids) and has plenty of solid jump scares, but is much more interested in the dynamics of a family struggling to hold together under the weight of grief and loss. That’s why King is a master: even when there are evil clowns, serial killing doppelgängers and telekinetic teenagers, it’s always the humanity of the characters that keeps people coming back to his stories. It certainly isn’t the endings!

“The Boogeyman” is honestly pretty mid. Director Rob Savage went bonkers with his previous horror movies, “Dashcam” and “Host,” so it’s a shock this is such a safe and bloodless adaptation.

King’s imagination is so twisted that it’s hard to make a PG-13 version of one of his stories and “The Boogeyman,” while containing some disturbing imagery, is nowhere near as scary as the story it’s based on, let alone comparable to other King adaptations.

If I was forced to choose my Top 10 Stephen King adaptations, it would go something like this:

Oregon’s Prairie Ghost

The resilient pronghorn has raced through millennia, but their future is in our hands

By Renee Schiavone 39 Courtesy Tom Koerner, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

VOLUME 27 ISSUE 23 / JUNE 8, 2023 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Capable of bursts of up to 60 miles per hour, proghorns' speed is a relic from a bygone era when they needed to flee the extinct North American cheetah.

P

ronghorn (Antilocapra americana) may be the most recognizable of all wildlife in Oregon’s vast sagebrush sea. Commonly — but mistakenly — also referred to as “antelope,” this migratory species is an indicator of the health and resiliency of their sagebrush habitats. If pronghorn populations are faring well, then likely so is their ecosystem. Where pronghorn are suffering, we might have a problem.

The landscape is hot in summer and bone-chilling in winter, requiring unique adaptations of its inhabitants. To survive the excessive temperatures, pronghorn have evolved specialized hairs for heating and cooling. The species also migrates annually between winter and summer ranges – sometimes traveling more than 100 miles – to find available food sources.

northern Nevada, this region is home to thousands of pronghorn. In 2016, wildlife managers counted more than 8,000 pronghorn in the Greater Hart-Sheldon.

However, populations have declined since the, with the most recent count at 4,313 animals in 2019. Perhaps this fluctuation in numbers is natural, or maybe there is something amiss with this habitat.

Jeremy Austin

“Prairie Ghost” Poetically known as “Prairie Ghost,” the pronghorn is both elusive and blazingly fast. Capable of bursts of up to 60 miles per hour, their anomalous speed is a relic from a bygone era when they needed to flee the worthiest of carnivorous adversaries: the extinct North American cheetah. Pronghorn are turbocharged to run! They’ve evolved an oversized heart and lungs to take in large gasps of oxygen, spring-like padded hooves to absorb rocky terrain and large eyes to see their predators from afar. While their speed is now unnecessary, greatly exceeding that of all modern-day predators, it’s always captivating to watch pronghorn take off across the desert.

Drawn to open, expansive terrain, pronghorn are at home in Oregon’s rolling hills of sagebrush steppe. In fact, they cannot live without it. Pronghorn are considered a sagebrush “obligate” species, meaning they depend on sagebrush to survive. Healthy sagebrush habitats are a broad mosaic of sagebrush shrubs, perennial bunchgrasses and wildflowers, laced with desert creeks, and punctuated by Western juniper and groves of Quaking aspen.

As idyllic as it seems, the sagebrush sea isn’t without its extremes.

Pronghorn fawns in Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge.

Pronghorn in the Greater Hart-Sheldon Despite its immense size, the sagebrush sea is considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America.

Scientists have identified just a handful of sagebrush “strongholds” across the West that provide the most important habitat for the long-term survival of pronghorn and hundreds of wildlife species that depend on the sagebrush steppe. The Greater Hart-Sheldon is one of them. Straddling the border between southeastern Oregon and

Conserving the fastest mammal in North America The pronghorn’s original range was larger than that of the American bison, and their population once numbered in the staggering tens of millions. Unfortunately, in the span of just a few generations, pronghorn populations crashed, heavily impacted by habitat degradation, over hunting and disease. By the early 1900s, there were estimated to be as few as 13,000 remaining in the United States. Concerns about their fate

led to conservation efforts to protect the species and their habitat, including the establishment of two namesake national wildlife refuges in the Greater Hart-Sheldon: Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge and Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers the refuges while the Bureau of Land Management is responsible for the expansive public lands that connect the two preserves. This combination of federal lands provides a unique and rare opportunity to protect and conserve climate-resilient core habitats and connectivity at a landscape-scale for pronghorn and hundreds of other species.

Oregon Natural Desert Association has been working for more than three decades to protect, defend and restore sagebrush habitats like the Greater Hart-Sheldon. ONDA and our community have rolled up and removed more than 300 miles of barbed wire fencing from the region. More recently we have partnered with Lakeview Bureau of Land Management to inventory and retrofit remaining fencing to render them safer for pronghorn to pass under. We are also pleased to engage in a number of federal and state planning processes to provide new protections in the region for pronghorn and a multitude of other species contending with shrinking habitats and climate change. Preserving these landscapes is essential if we want to continue enjoying the wonder of this species in the future.

The 27th annual Pacific Crest Endurance Sports Festival offers competitive multisport races in the heart of Bend.

T

he 27th annual Pacific Crest Endurance Sports Festival brings a weekend full of races and fun for endurance athletes from June 15 to 18. From biking to swimming to running, the festival hosts a variety of competitive racing events.

Kicking off the weekend, the Pilot Butte Challenge will set the tone for the rest of the weekend. The 1-mile sprint/run/walk up the Butte is an opportunity for athletes to achieve their personal records, starting at 6pm. And it’s a butt-kicker. With nearly 500 feet of elevation gain over a short distance, the PBC is a well-attended and well-loved part of this festival.

Saturday is when the big running action starts. Marathon, half marathon, Deschutes Dash 10K and Deschutes Dash 5K start times begin at 7am and 8am.

All of the races start and end at Riverbend Park. The long runs weave through bike paths, river trails, meadows, golf greens and summer homes, according to the race website. The shorter runs offer flat, paved courses along the scenic Deschutes River. At 4pm, the Kids Splash Pedal-N-Dash will start. This non-competitive event will let the kids get a taste of what the weekend is all about.

Sunday is the big multi-sport day. Athletes can choose from three distances — Beastman, Olympic and Sprint — and three types of multi-sport races — triathlon, duathlon and AquaBike. The variety of race options makes this festival accessible to a wide experience level — from a Sprint Distance AquaBike (800-meter swim/12-mile bike) to a Beastman Distance Tri (800-meter swim/56.70-mile bike/13.1-mile run).

“Pacific Crest is known as the jewel of multisport events in the Northwest, and it has become a traditional destination race for athletes from across the nation, as well as from across the globe. It is the perfect family vacation destination. You don’t have to take our word for it — join us for this spectacular event and see for yourself,” states the race website.

At the event, attendees can enjoy a sports and fitness expo, Deschutes Brewery beer and a food garden, live entertainment and tons of race hype.

This provided image shows a population of the roundworm C. elegans with an eyelash for scale. University of Oregon researchers soaked the worms in an endocannabinoid to study their response to food under the influence.

N

ew research from the University of Oregon suggests that humans aren’t the only ones who get the munchies under the influence of cannabis.

A recent study found that nematodes — also known as roundworms — soaked in a naturally occurring THC-like substance ate more of the bacteria they prefer at a faster rate than normal, similar to humans who may get food cravings after ingesting cannabis.

Shawn Lockery, a professor in the university’s Institute of Neuroscience, led the study.

“Not all bacteria are created equal, from the nematode’s point of view,” he said. “Some of them are sort of like pizza to the worm… and some are more like oatmeal.”

Lockery said the cannabinoid not only increased the worms’ preference for the “pizza-like” bacteria, but decreased their preference for the “oatmeal-like” bacteria.

The findings could provide insight into the human endocannabinoid system, which is surprisingly similar to the one found in roundworms, and that regulates bodily responses such as mood, appetite, pain and inflammation.

Substances like THC mimic natural neurotransmitters that play a role in that system, leading to unexpected effects. Lockery said the munchies could be the result of the endocannabinoid system telling the body to seek out high-calorie food.

“[It’s] kind of like a fast-response emergency system for when the animal is facing death by starvation,” he said. “In that case, you really don’t want to waste your time eating grass or something that’s not so nutritious.”

Lockery has been researching nematodes for more than 30 years. Around the time recreational marijuana was legalized in Oregon, he and his lab were studying how the worms make decisions between things they value at different costs — a phenomenon known as economic decision making.

The confluence of the two led the team out on a limb to study the putative munchies effect.

“I just thought that if the result worked out, it would be so amusing to everyone,” Lockery said. “I was pleasantly surprised to see this strong similarity between humans and these animals that are so primitive and diverged from us so long ago.”

Lockery’s team is now studying how certain psychedelics will affect the worms. Early results show that they decrease appetite and increase locomotion — the same results shown in similar studies of rodents.

“Just as cannabinoids were being legalized in Oregon, now psychedelics are legalized for certain purposes,” he said. “So we’re very excited to follow this up.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "All the things I wanted to do and didn’t do took so long. It was years of not doing." So writes Gemini poet Lee Upton in her book Undid in the Land of Undone. Most of us could make a similar statement. But I have good news for you, Gemini. I suspect that during the rest of 2023, you will find the willpower and the means to finally accomplish intentions that have been long postponed or unfeasible. I'm excited for you! To prepare the way, decide which two undone things you would most love to dive into and complete.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Denis Johnson had a rough life in his twenties. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Years later, he wrote a poem expressing gratitude to the people who didn't abandon him. "You saw me when I was invisible," he wrote, "you spoke to me when I was deaf, you thanked me when I was a secret." Now would be an excellent time for you to deliver similar appreciation to those who have steadfastly beheld and supported your beauty when you were going through hard times.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t make a wish upon a star. Instead, make a wish upon a scar. By that I mean, visualize in vivid detail how you might summon dormant reserves of ingenuity to heal one of your wounds. Come up with a brilliant plan to at least partially heal the wound. And then use that same creative energy to launch a new dream or relaunch a stalled old dream. In other words, Leo, figure out how to turn a liability into an asset. Capitalize on a loss to engender a gain. Convert sadness into power and disappointment into joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): At age nine, I was distraught when my parents told me we were moving away from the small town in Michigan where I had grown up. I felt devastated to lose the wonderful friends I had made and leave the land I loved. But in retrospect, I am glad I got uprooted. It was the beginning of a new destiny that taught me how to thrive on change. It was my introduction to the pleasures of knowing a wide variety of people from many different backgrounds. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I think the next 12 months will be full of comparable opportunities for you. You don't have to relocate to take advantage, of course. There are numerous ways to expand and diversify your world. Your homework right now is to identify three.

Together, we help 3,000 animals every year at the Humane Society of Central Oregon with safe sheltering, medical care & adoption.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "When I paint, my goal is to show what I found, not what I was looking for." So said artist Pablo Picasso.

I recommend you adopt some version of that as your motto in the coming weeks. Yours could be, “When I make love, my goal is to rejoice in what I find, not what I am looking for." Or perhaps, “When I do the work I care about, my goal is to celebrate what I find, not what I am looking for." Or maybe, “When I decide to transform myself, my goal is to be alert for what I find, not what I am looking for."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Vincent van Gogh painted Wheatfield with a Reaper, showing a man harvesting lush yellow grain under a glowing sun. Van Gogh said the figure was “fighting like the devil in the midst of the heat to get to the end of his task.” And yet, this was also true: “The sun was flooding everything with a light of pure gold." I see your life in the coming weeks as resonating with this scene, Capricorn. Though you may grapple with challenging tasks, you will be surrounded by beauty and vitality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect that your homing signals will be extra strong and clear during the next 12 months. Everywhere you go, in everything you do, you will receive clues about where you truly belong and how to fully inhabit the situations where you truly belong. From all directions, life will offer you revelations about how to love yourself for who you are and be at peace with your destiny. Start tuning in immediately, dear Aquarius. The hints are already trickling in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The renowned Mexican painter Diego Rivera (1886– 1957) told this story about himself: When he was born, he was so frail and ill that the midwife gave up on him, casting him into a bucket of dung. Rivera's grandmother would not accept the situation so easily, however. She caught and killed some pigeons and wrapped her newborn grandson in the birds' guts. The seemingly crazy fix worked. Rivera survived and lived for many decades, creating an epic body of artistic work. I bring this wild tale to your attention, Pisces, with the hope that it will inspire you to keep going and be persistent in the face of a problematic beginning or challenging birth pang. Don't give up!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most of us continuously absorb information that is of little or questionable value. We are awash in an endless tsunami of trivia and babble. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to remove yourself from this blather as much as possible during the next three weeks. Focus on exposing yourself to fine thinkers, deep feelers, and exquisite art and music. Nurture yourself with the wit and wisdom of compassionate geniuses and brilliant servants of the greater good. Treat yourself to a break from the blah-blah-blah and immerse yourself in the smartest joie de vivre you can find.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves," said psychologist Carl Jung. What was he implying? That we may sometimes engage in the same behavior that bothers us about others? And we should examine whether we are similarly annoying? That’s one possible explanation, and I encourage you to meditate on it.

Here’s a second theory: When people irritate us, it may signify that we are at risk of being hurt or violated by them—and we should take measures to protect ourselves. Maybe there are other theories you could come up with, as well, Aries. Now here's your assignment: Identify two people who irritate you. What lessons or blessings could you garner from your relationships with them?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Over 25 coun-

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1886, a wealthy

tries have created coats of arms that feature an eagle. Why is that? Maybe it’s because the Roman Empire, the foundation of so much culture in the Western world, regarded the eagle as the ruler of the skies. It’s a symbol of courage, strength, and alertness. When associated with people, it also denotes high spirits, ingenuity, and sharp wits.

In astrology, the eagle is the emblem of the ripe Scorpio: someone who bravely transmutes suffering and strives to develop a sublimely soulful perspective. With these thoughts in mind, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you Scorpios to draw extra intense influence from your eagle-like aspects in the coming weeks.

woman named Sarah Winchester moved into a two-story, eight-room farmhouse in San Jose, California. She was an amateur architect. During the next 20 years, she oversaw continuous reconstruction of her property, adding new elements and revising existing structures. At one point, the house had 500 rooms. Her workers built and then tore down a seven-story tower on 16 occasions.

When she died at age 83, her beloved domicile had 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows, 47 stairways, and six kitchens. While Sarah Winchester was extreme in her devotion to endless transformation, I do recommend a more measured version of her strategy for you—especially in the coming months. Continual creative growth and rearrangement will be healthy and fun!

UNDERSTANDING INTIMACY

Central Oregon’s

By Dr. Jane Guyn

Dead Bedroom Frustration What are your suggestions for a couple that wants to reintroduce physical intimacy and sex into their relationship after their bedroom has been dead and physical touch is now awkward?

45

T

he feeling of awkwardness can start so soon! It's almost as if there's some kind of magnetic field (that's acting in reverse) when you've stopped being physically intimate for a while. Of course, if you’re like most couples, neither of you says much about it — which makes the feeling of disconnection that much worse.

In a sexless relationship you’re living together as roommates instead of lovers.

For many couples, life is still great in a lot of ways. You get along without much conflict. The kids are amazing. Your labradoodle is a fan favorite at the dog park. The fact that you’re not intimate anymore is invisible to everyone but the two of you.

If you’re honest, you know that your sex life was on life support since shortly after the kids arrived. You put it down to your busy schedules.

You didn’t have enough time together. COVID put that fairytale to bed.

During the pandemic, you had way too much time together and sex stopped for lots of reasons that seemed good at the time. Now, here you are. It’s all become awkward — even the simple affectionate things that used to help you feel closer — things like real hugs and sexy kisses.

What should you do?

1. Talk about it Sex therapist Vanessa Marin and her husband Xander recommend a simple way to get things going again.

In their new book, “Sex Talks,” they recommend starting your conversation about sex by discussing intimate experiences from your past that you both remember fondly. Thinking about how it was "back then" is a lovely way to imagine becoming close again now. One of the things that I really like about this idea is that it doesn't shame either of you. You share the spark and the passion from the past as a first step to releasing current awkwardness.

If you're one of the many couples who’s never really had a honeymoon period of hot sex, you'll want to start with a conversation where you imagine how it might be, what you both desire and your curiosities or fantasies.

2. Focus on pleasure and playfulness when you’re both feeling ready After you've begun to talk a little bit

about sex in a way that's not filled with pressure and expectations, introduce some physical affection that feels fun and playful for you both.

Maybe dancing sounds good, or non-sexual massages, soft kissing, holding or lying on top of each other with clothes on. You could try spooning and cuddling.

Some people want to experience more sexual energy together so they might allow genital touching of some sort. Oral sex could be a possibility for some.

If intercourse has been your primary (or only) sexual act, you might try it sooner than others. I recommend that you not rush any of it.

3. Get away privately to reconnect It’s very helpful if you take some time away from home for a getaway together if that’s possible. The sameness of your everyday routine is an intimacy buzzkill for most people.

Even one night in a hotel or in a local vacation rental can change your perspective. But please don’t put pressure on each other to be sexual. This is an opportunity to start reconnecting emotionally — not an edict to “do it.”

4. Make connection a practice Keep connecting as a couple when you get home. Share affection every day.

Offer sexual pleasure to your partner if and/or when you’re both comfortable. Make sure you’re both open to it when you decide to take the next steps. Too slow is always better than too fast, but make sure you’re actually making progress — not waiting for days, weeks, months or years. You might get the support of a trusted sex positive professional to guide you if it doesn’t come naturally.

I'm not against quickies, but a habit of daily disconnected quickies is what often gets couples into dead bedrooms in the first place.

You got this!

Oops! Home Prices Didn’t Crash After All

Real Estate Broker

(541) 678-1662

In spite of predictions, housing didn’t cool off

believed home prices would fall over the next 12 months than in any other December in the history of the survey.

That caused people to hesitate about their homebuying or selling plans as we entered the new year.

The good news: Home prices never crashed However, home prices didn’t come crashing down and seem to be already rebounding from the minimal depreciation experienced over the last several months.

In a report just released, Goldman Sachs explained: “The global housing market seems to be stabilizing faster than expected despite months of rising mortgage rates, according to Goldman Sachs Research. House prices are defying expectations and are rising in major economies such as the U.S…. ” Those claims from Goldman Sachs were verified by the release last week of two indexes on home prices: Case-Shiller and the FHFA. Home values seem to have turned the corner and are headed back up.

Bottom line When the forecasts of significant home price depreciation were made last fall, they were made with megaphones. Mass media outlets, industry newspapers and podcasts all broadcasted the news of an eminent crash in prices.

Now, forecasters are saying the worst is over and it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as they originally projected.

However, they are whispering the news instead of using megaphones.

uring the fourth quarter of last year, many housing experts predicted home prices were going to crash this year. Here are a few of those forecasts: Jeremy Siegel, Russell E. Palmer Professor Emeritus of Finance at the Wharton School of Business: “I expect housing prices fall 10% to 15%, and the housing prices are accelerating on the downside.”

Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics: "Buckle in. Assuming rates remain near their current 6.5% and the economy skirts recession, then national house prices will fall almost 10% peak-to-trough. Most of those declines will happen sooner rather than later. And house prices will fall 20% if there is a typical recession.”

Goldman Sachs: “Housing is already cooling in the U.S., according to July data that was reported last week. As interest rates climb steadily higher, Goldman Sachs Research’s G-10 home price model suggests home prices will decline by around 5% to 10% from the peak in the U.S. . . . Economists at Goldman Sachs Research say there are risks that housing markets could decline more than their model suggests.”

The bad news: It rattled consumer confidence These forecasts put doubt in the minds of many consumers about the strength of the residential real estate market. Evidence of this can be seen in the December Consumer Confidence Survey from Fannie Mae. It showed a larger percentage of Americans
