OPINION WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 10, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

In the BCD, a MessLiterally and Figuratively

If there’s one topic of frequent conversation in Bend these days, it’s houselessness. A brief primer: -The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Bend nearly doubled from March 2016 to March 2021, going from $995 to $1,800, according to Zumper. -Since 2015, the number of people experiencing homelessness in Central Oregon has nearly doubled, with a 13.42% increase from 2020 to 2021 alone, according to the Central Oregon Point in Time Count. - In 2015, the City of Bend had already identified that it needed more than 5,500 housing units to meet the needs of people in the city back then—with the vast majority of that housing needed for households earning $24,999 or less per year. -City and community leaders have, for the better part of a decade, been lauding the Bend Central District, located east of the Bend Parkway and between Franklin and Greenwood avenues, as a zone possessing massive potential for redevelopment, including more housing. Locals have been regaled with countless design charettes, events, articles and so on regarding the potential for the area. The level of hype was enough to get even the most skeptical of residents excited about the opportunities. But those opportunities come with complications. Combine soaring construction and personnel costs with skyrocketing rents and a proliferation of people living on the streets and you have a current situation that appears downright untenable. Or do we just require more patience to see fruition of an idea that’s been years in the making? Since at least September, property owners along NE Second Street have been lodging complaints with the City of Bend about trash, feces, needles and tents erected in the right of way. The Bend Police Department fielded some 258 calls for service to that area from Nov. 9 to Feb. 9, prompting Bend PD to declare the area an “unsafe campsite” on Feb. 9. Doing so, according to the City of Bend’s rules, gives the City Manager authority to clean up the area or to remove the campsite. On Feb. 28, City Manager Eric King issued the required two-week notice to service providers, alerting them to the need to begin relocating the campers on Second Street. The City would have done so sooner, City Communications Director Anne Aurand told the Source, but a cold snap delayed that process. (City rules adopted in 2021 put a delay on camp removals when temperatures are below 20 or above 100.) Last week, members of the Bend Central District Business Association

wrote a letter to the City of Bend, asking for clarification on a number of points that relate to the houseless population. In addition to wanting more details about what the City plans to do with its recent purchase of the Rainbow Motel on Franklin Avenue (slated to first become a shelter facility before being put to other, as-yet-unannounced uses) those business owners wanted to know when, or if, the City planned to take further action on Second Street. Property owners including Brooks Resources and others have put their apartment projects on hold due to the overall uncertainty. The situation is a literal and figurative mess, to be sure. Locals want the City to fix it—but many of us lack the patience to remember that the wheels of government grind slow. However, slowly—agonizingly slowly, from the perspective of the property owners in the BCD—we are seeing progress, and it doesn’t lie in immediate camp removals. The City now operates its Second Street Shelter year-round, where little more than a year ago, it was only a warming shelter. It’s also recently opened its motel-turned-shelter on Division Street, where over a dozen people who were consistently staying at the Second Street Shelter have been moved and more are now moving. Without these shelter beds in place, federal court rulings make it illegal for cities to remove camps. Now, here, comes the ironic part. For the better part of a decade, locals in the BCD have lauded the area as an opportunity zone where Bend can grow “up,” turning the area into a new, more urban zone. But with urbanity comes urban concerns—including the presence of people who don’t fall into Bend’s previously suburban framework. If Bendites want to see the area become more urban, it’s going to come with urban headaches, including the presence of people who now find themselves unable to weather the doubling of area rents in a five-year span, and a protracted governmental process to do better. “Poverty with a view” has long been Bend’s unsanctioned brand. Now, though, everyone just gets to see it.

I’m an aquatic ecologist and I’d like to speak to you about dams and fish. I was Research Coordinator at Olympic National Park during the time we removed the two hydropower dams on the Elwha River. Those dams produced little power and it would have cost millions to bring them to current license standards. Nonetheless, because of human inertia, it took 25 years of studies, planning and debates before the dams were removed. The salmon were back above the dams a week after the final barrier was removed. The four Lower Snake River Dams are in Washington just before the Snake joins the Columbia River. When the dams were built 65 years ago everyone knew that they would seriously harm salmon runs. Since then, billions (with a “B”) of dollars have been spent trying to “fix” that harm. Those efforts have failed. Yearly reports woefully document the salmon death spiral. Agency biologists agree: “Without breaching, Snake River wild salmon and steelhead will continue rapidly to extinction.” As if suddenly wakening to this realization, Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson recently proposed a “Concept” to breach the dams (https://simpson.house.gov/salmon/). In response to this proposal but mindful of its problems, the Biden Administration, governors and senators of Washington and Oregon announced a joint federal-state process to find a way forward. They promise to reveal a plan in July (https://tinyurl.com/2s39tk2w). Our Oregon senators have expressed support but also reticence. At a recent Town Hall I asked Sen. Merkley for his

position on the dams. He said, “It’s really hard to remove a dam,” and that he was, “trying to learn all he could” about the situation. From my Elwha experience I can vouch for how hard it is to remove dams! But what is there to “learn” beyond the definition of “extinction?” Bend is now in CD 5 where Rep. Kurt Schrader has consistently supported industry at the expense of our rivers, fish, and wildlife. However, this spring Jamie McLeod-Skinner has a strong chance of winning Schrader’s seat. Jamie has already spoken strongly in favor of salmon and river restoration. Here’s the situation. These dams have run at a loss for decades. Our tax dollars and Bonneville Power customers are subsidizing this losing proposition. While those expenses keep mounting, costs of solar and wind energy are dropping. It is true that rivers always run and aren’t subject to cloudy or wind-less days. But credible studies have shown that removing the Snake River dams will not lead to power shortages (https://nwenergy.org). We already have sufficient reserve energy and the cost of it is decreasing. In fact, removing these dams will actually reduce consumer power bills. Government-sourced supporting documents are here (http:www.damsense.org). Now it’s up to you. We’ve got to overcome inertia; the tendency to leave things as they are. Convey the urgency to the governor and your members of Congress. Complicated arrangements concerning transportation and commerce can be addressed in time. But the fish have no more time. Their time is up. — Dr. Jerry Freilich is an aquatic ecologist recently retired from a 25-year career as a scientist in six national parks.

RE: MANDATES ENDING EVEN SOONER NEWS, 3/3

This is great, now we can expect businesses, banks, and government agencies to resume in-person services at pre-covid levels. Right? —Geoff Reynolds

SAVE WORRELL PARK

Remember that Joni Mitchell song about taking down paradise and putting up a parking lot? “You don’t know what you’ve got till its gone.” Well, it could happen here in Bend. The county would like to blow up Worrell park and truck it away, which would take 3,470 ten ton dump truck loads to accomplish. What would we get in return, 64 parking spaces. Fortunately a growing number of Bend residents aren’t buying that. Here’s what you can do. If you haven’t been there for a while, go walk the trails, check out the critters that call it home; birds, even a nesting humming bird, deer, marmots, lizards and those oh so important pollinating insects. Write to the County commissioners about why we shouldn’t destroy this last little piece of natural landscape in our lovely walkable downtown Bend. Then tell your friends and get them to write letters about why they don’t want to lose this delightfully quirky piece of old Bend. Then, mark your calendar and come to our next event at the park: 1:30 to 4 pm, March 20, equinox day, which marks the beginning of spring. See you there! —Alice Elshoff

Thornburgh in my Side WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 10, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A proposed resort’s application to buy state-owned land reignites a decades-long battle between the developer and environmental groups By Jack Harvel Thornburgh Resort Company, which since 2005 has sought to build a resort community southwest of Redmond, applied to buy 400 adjacent acres from Oregon’s Department of State Lands. The land contributes to the Common School Fund, which distributes money made from leasing or selling land to Oregon schools on a per-pupil basis. The potential sale set off alarm bells for local activist group Central Oregon LandWatch, which has opposed Thornburgh in courts for years, aiming to block the resort based on concerns about water and environmental impacts. The Common School Fund is valued at $2.2 billion and revenues from land leases and sales are expected to send over $64 million to Oregon Schools in 2022. Thornburgh leased the parcel for several years, and in the fall applied to buy it. ODSL is reviewing the sale to see if it meets the standards necessary to sell. “There are a couple of things that we look at,” said Liane O’Neill, a communications officer with the Oregon Department of State Lands. “The first is the appraised value of the land. We also look at whether the land has the ability to generate revenue for the Common School Fund, if it was used for other purposes other than the sale. So, for example, in this case, we might look at access to the property. This property is pretty much locked in all around by private property, so it’d be pretty difficult for a new owner to access the property.” Additionally, the state reviews if there are cultural resources associated with native people on the land, if there are mineral or energy resources that could add value to the land and whether there are any endangered, threatened or sensitive plants or animals native to the area. Since leasing the land Thornburgh Resort Company left it relatively undisturbed, and its owner told the Source he plans on keeping it as open space. “The land is pretty much untouched and hasn’t been improved. They’re not doing any ranching or any cattle grazing on it,” O’Neill said. “They are permitted to build a paved road that basically gives them access from the land that they’re currently leasing and requesting to purchase into the lands that they already own.” The parcel of land being considered for sale doesn’t have any water rights, but it is the top concern for those seeking to stop the resort from developing. Deschutes County accepted a final master plan for the site in 2008, which consisted of 1970 acres with 950 lots and 425 residential overnight lodging units. The property would be divided into two villages, one called The Tribute at Thronburgh and the other The Pinnacle at Thornburgh. Caroline House, a senior planner with Deschutes County, said the addition of DSL lands would require a modification of approval by the Deschutes County commission to amend the master plan. The Tribute on the south side of the property is proposed as a golf course residential community, with two golf courses, a golf practice area, a golf clubhouse, community center, 50 golf cottages and 650 luxury-view houses. The Pinnacle on the northern end of the property will also have a golf course, a hotel, a retail area, a man-made lake/boating area, a lake clubhouse and 350 individually owned homes. The resort’s 2013 permit allowed it to use up to 6 million gallons of water a day,

The site of the proposed Thornburgh Resort is southeast of the Eagle Crest Resort, with a view of Cline Butte.

and some nearby residents worry they’ll have less well water to use, and environmentalists are concerned the resort’s water mitigation plan could undersupply spring-fed cold water from Deep Canyon Creek. “That we’re even having this conversation is stupefying to me. I mean, we are in a full-on drought that no one anticipated back in 2008, when their water mitigation plan was discussed with the state. The whole lot has changed,” said Link Olson, a resident near the proposed Thornburgh Resort and a professor of biology at the University of Alaska. Olson said he hikes on the trail at least twice a week. The area is popular for cyclists and hikers, and Bend Trails, a recreation advocacy group, posted on its social media its concern that the sale could restrict access to trails if made private.

“In 2008 what they came up with made sense, but that was also a very long time ago, and conditions in the basin have continued to degrade since then.” —Danette Faucera

Thornburgh developers dispute that their mitigation plan is lacking and point to litigation that affirmed their plan was lawful and provided a net benefit to fisheries. However, a letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from Jan. 2, argued the conditions have changed since the site’s Final Master Plan was approved in 2008.

“In 2008 what they came up with made sense, but that was also a very long time ago, and conditions in the basin have continued to degrade since then,” said Danette Faucera, water policy coordinator for USFWS. “So, we’re concerned now that things might be actually ramping up and looking like it might move forward. That folks are really looking at the mitigation that was agreed to in 2008, to ensure that that really, today in reality is still going to meet that net benefit, and no net loss criteria.” The 2013 water permit is in a legal limbo. Permits are granted under the condition that meaningful steps be taken to build out infrastructure to pump it within five years. Thornburgh requested an extension of the permit, which was protested by Annunziata Gould, a longtime opponent of the resort. The Water Resources Department granted the extension, which Gould challenged in court, and ultimately the agency withdrew its final judgement, and an extension will depend on the result of a hearing. “There’s a lot of complexities in terms of our challenge. We’re basically arguing you didn’t do anything sufficient to make any progress towards putting the water to use,” said Karl Anuta, a lawyer who represents Gould. “We don’t think they’ll ultimately be able to get an extension, they claim they think they will.” If the extension isn’t renewed, it would go to whoever is next in line to draw from the same aquifer. Thornburgh applied for more water permits in the same aquifer, but as of yet, none have been granted, according to Anuta. The Department of State Lands will hold a public meeting and hearing via Zoom on March 10 to provide more information about the potential sale and the due diligence process, as well as taking public comment, though public comment will be accepted as late as March 17.

Who’s Running

The May primary elections are coming soon. Here’s a look at who’s thrown their hat in the ring, and where they’re getting their cash

Deschutes County Commissioner, Position 1 With three Republicans and just one Democrat in this primary race, Democrat Oliver Tatom is all but guaranteed to progress to the general election, while incumbent Tony DeBone will battle it out with two other Republican challengers.

Oregon House District 53 With Redmond Republican Jack Zika opting not to run again, and with Democrat Janet Llerandi Gonzalez announcing last week that she’d withdrawn from the race, the race for House 53 will see two untested candidates running unopposed in their respective primaries. Of her decision in the race, Llerandi Gonzelez cited concerns around “challenges within the local Democratic party.” “Privilege has caused well-connected politicians to stand in the way of people of color that want to engage civically as a means of survival, rather than mere party identity,” said Llerandi Gonzalez, who identifies as queer and indigenous Mexican. “I can no longer sustain the financial, mental and emotional strain of navigating an institution that was intentionally designed to exclude people with my identities.” Emerson Levy, Democrat Top donors: Louis Capozzi $1,000; Broadman for Bend (aka Anthony Broadman) - $1,000; Susan Ackerman - $500; Elect Ellen Rosenblum for Attorney General - $500; Sean Levy - $500; Amber Keyser, Philip Chang, Stephanie Newton, Emma Hoilman, Erick Peterson, Megan Perkins, Nancy Levy, Roger Sabbadini - $250 (each)

Republican voters can cast their ballots for Knopp in May; all voters will likely have that option come November. Knopp’s top donors—all political action committees—show the level of interest in the guy now speaking for the peeps who have staged repeated walkouts during a Democratic-supermajority reign in the Oregon legislature in recent years.

The race is non partisan, but in the primary, just one brave soul has stepped up. This means local voters will cast their ballots for this guy or no one at all in May. Steve Gunnels Top donors: Jamie Sawyer - $1,000; Ros Dargahi - $1,000; Mike Sundberg - $500; Angela Lee-Mandlin - $500; Pattie Apregan $400; Thomas Spear - $250 …And there’s much more to come for the May primary. Next week, we’ll list the candidates for governor, U.S. House and U.S. Senate—and attempt to sort through all their cash.

Elections are ahead again: first the May primary that allows people registered with a particular party to vote for their favorite candidates, followed by the general election in November. The filing deadline to run in the May primary was March 8. Here are the candidates local voters may find on their ballots this May (depending on your geographical location), along with the top donors for each campaign from 2021 to 2022, according to the most recent data available from the Oregon Secretary of State.

Oregon House District 55 Newly drawn legislative boundaries following the 2020 U.S. Census meant that all of Central Oregon’s House districts are different than they were in past elections. This election, Oregon House 55 folds in more of Central Oregon, including all of Crook County, plus portions of Deschutes, Jackson, Klamath and Lake counties—a massive geographic area. Two Republicans are running against one another in this primary, with zero Democrats entering the race. Not shocking, since a Republican has held the seat since time immemorial.

Duel in the High Desert How mixed martial arts clawed its way to legitimacy, and its continuous evolution By Jack Harvel Courtesy of Mac Danzig

Arena Wars held an event on Saturday, March 5, that featured MMA, Muay Thai and grappling competitions. Arena Wars holds shows across Oregon and is branching out to other states. Its co-promoter, Darrick Bruyn, also promotes for Budofights, which has hosted 17 events in Central Oregon.

In 1993 the world’s oldest form of competition, fighting, found its way into the modern world with the broadcast of the Ultimate Fighting Championship 1. The early days of mixed martial arts weren’t exactly mixed, and practitioners of specific martial arts squared off against one another to find the most effective form of fighting. Since its ragtag beginnings the UFC spawned a new outlook on martial arts—one that utilizes the best techniques from different styles to create the most well-rounded fighters. The sport had to claw its way to the mainstream, sometimes for good reasons. The first UFC marketed their bouts with the tagline, “There are no rules,” and it was nearly true. Head butting, hair pulling, groin strikes and fish-hooking were all fair play in the first few events, there were no rounds or weight classes, eye gouges and biting were one of the few things that were banned. By 1996, 36 states didn’t allow organized mixed martial arts events after a campaign by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to end the sport in its infancy. Despite immense pressure, early adopters across the country fought in the ring and with statewide athletic commissions to legitimize the sport; in Central Oregon it was J.T. Taylor.

Central Oregon’s UFC pioneer Taylor first encountered the sport as a teenager at Redmond High School while training in kickboxing and riding bulls. Deciding which sport to pursue, he opted for the one with human opponents and referees rather than 1,500 pound bovines and rodeo clowns. He took the same lesson many did from the first UFC fights and decided to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, spending about a year with a local school before meeting his future coach, Marcelo Alonso, at a grappling tournament. “I went to a tournament, and his team came down like the Cobra Kai walked in. He kicked the dog shit out of everybody and left us going, ‘We don’t know what we’re doing,’” Taylor said. “I was right around 21 when I went to that tournament; his team beat us all and three days later I moved to Seattle to be on his team.” Taylor cut his teeth at Alonso’s academy, and racked up an 11-0 amateur record before his first professional fight in 2001 against Ronald Jhun, a fighter who eventually reached the highest echelon of the sport in UFC 49. The match wasn’t quite

expected for Taylor; he was scheduled for the amateur card when someone had to fill in for a fighter on the main card. It would be his first loss in MMA, and his first time getting psyched out by an opponent. “I’m in the locker room and here comes about 20 to 30 of his friends and family in my locker room praying for me, all speaking in tongues, putting their hands on me and praying for my safety,” Taylor said. “I was so nervous I forgot my cup.” Jhun defeated Taylor in the second round via technical knockout from knee strikes. The loss didn’t deter him, and in his next fight he got his first professional win against Ryan Schultz in a second round knockout. After a couple years in Seattle, Taylor started getting homesick and disillusioned with life in a big city. After 130 days straight of rain—more than four times as long as the Biblical flood, he points out—Taylor packed up and went home where he’d start Central Oregon’s first promotion: Desert Brawl.

Desert Brawl Taylor came back and started a Jiu Jitsu gym in 2002 and began promoting fights. He called his team the Desert Dogs and his promotion Desert Brawl. One of the attendees at early Desert Brawls would become Central Oregon’s most accomplished native fighter, John Gunderson. Gunderson went on to compete in more Desert Brawls than any other fighter, and eventually reached the industry peak, fighting in three UFC fights. “As soon as I’d seen my first MMA show, which was one of the very first Desert Brawls ever, I watched the show and I kind of fell in love with it,” Gunderson said. “I started training and I feel like I learned quickly that you needed more than just boxing and being tough to be a good fighter.” When Taylor held the first Desert Brawl at the Bend Armory, the sport wasn’t approved by what was then called the boxing commission, now the Oregon State Athletic Commission, and it forbade any MMA promoters from getting a promoter’s license. The commission could fine promoters over $7,000 for every unlicensed event. Skirting the rules earned Taylor the first moniker he’d use in his career: “The Outlaw.”

like when I made it there wasn’t shows every weekend, the roster was small so they only took the best of the best, you had to be proven,” Gunderson said. “Everything, from the production, to the way they treat you, to the paychecks. Everything is so much different.” At 34 Taylor took another shot at MMA, driven by both passion and a recession. When he stepped back in the ring the pay had gotten a little better, but the competition had gotten tougher. He had to ramp up his conditioning, but knew he wanted to fight before he aged out of the sport. “I will remember what I didn’t do, and that’s what matters to me,” he said. “That’s really what it boiled down to, I wanted to fight the best people in the world.” Taylor fought his last fight in 2011, and finished his professional career with a 7-7-1 professional record. Since then Taylor started a hemp oil business that has stores in both Bend and Redmond. Another promotion, Budofights, has put on fights in Central Oregon, and last hosted an event in Central Oregon in 2018, but co-promoter Darrick Bruyn said they will be back with COVID regulations loosening.

The Future of MMA Desert Brawl, of course, wasn’t alone in promoting fights in Oregon. When MMA became legalized, UFC fighters such as Randy Couture, Chael Sonnen and Matt Lindland busted through the door with their own promotions. Dozens of promotions are still active, though coronavirus stalled them momentarily. “It seemed like more and more of these small promotions were starting to pop up, and then the whole

COVID regulation thing happened and that just completely shut everything down on the West Coast,” said Mac Danzig, a Bend-based MMA trainer with a 13-fight career in the UFC as well as other elite and regional promotions. Danzig opened his gym in 2018, just before the drought of MMA events. He said he caters more toward enthusiasts than people seeking to become elite-level fighters, because rising stars rarely have money for gym fees and need a lot of one-on-one training. When it comes to regional promotions in Oregon, he said it’s good experience but getting to more elite promotions is a long and thankless process. The ladder to the top requires beating someone with an impressive record, which can often come down to luck and access, before reaching mid-level events like the Dana White Contender Series. In the meantime, low-level pro fighters are lucky if they don’t lose money with the costs of training, medical expenses and travel. Others are more optimistic, though. John Gunderson, now a trainer for Las Vegas-based Syndicate MMA, sees the regional scene as thriving, at least where he is in Las Vegas. As statewide athletic commissions became more involved in the sport, it’s made it more difficult, but there’s still plenty of opportunity out there. “There’s not as many shows regional in certain areas, but I feel like there’s bigger regional shows now that are covered on TV that were never covered before on TV, they’re just bigger opportunities,” Gunderson said. Still, even in the UFC fighters are paid one of the lowest revenue shares of professional sports. The average UFC fighter made just under $150,000 in 2020 with a base salary and bonuses. “The fighter pay issue is a big problem, but what’s the bigger problem and is the root of that problem is that fighters who market themselves by creating fake conflict with other fighters, who just talk trash, are the ones who are making money,” Danzig said. Danzig, a technical master in MMA, prefers the sport over the spectacle. It’s at odds with the average MMA fan, or at least whoever the UFC is marketed for. JT Taylor, on the other hand, is nostalgic for the more rough and tumble origins of mixed martial arts. “We always had this circus, there was always jujitsu guys against karate guys, and that’s really what made it fun,” he said. “Honestly, this the sport is a spectacle and in some ways, needs to stay a spectacle because it’s gotten to where there’s no more of those matches anymore.”

“They couldn’t physically stop me, and they couldn’t throw me in jail. They could only fine me. After seven-eight fights, you’re in bed $80 grand. Are you gonna pay it back? Probably not. So it was all or nothing,” Taylor said. “What I’m doing was not illegal, and on top of that, I was changing the surface, I instituted rounds, I instituted brakes, I brought doctors, I brought referees, I brought everything that the Commission is doing now.” Despite questionable legality, the show grew consistently. Starting from small warehouses, the event eventually would make its way to larger venues like the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center. “It was pretty cool to see that start so little. I was on the bottom of the card when I first started out in the Desert Brawls and I just worked my way up and I just kept fighting and fighting, and lots of people were there to watch me win and lots of people were there to watch me lose,” Gunderson said. The sport’s popularity grew, and momentum from larger promotions like the UFC and Japan’s Pride Fighting Championship transferred to smaller regional organizations. In 2004 the state athletic commission reassessed its ban on MMA promotions, just after Randy Couture, who trained out of Oregon, won the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. With the rules changed, Taylor was left with $80,000 in fines and a bad taste in his mouth from OSAC’s repeated attempts to shut his promotion down. “The boxing commission brings me in in 2004, and they’re like, ‘We know we harassed you. We know we’re in the wrong, too, but you were also in the wrong. And you have this bill with us. And in order to move on we have to get rid of it,” Taylor said. He walked out of their office with $2,000 fewer dollars, but a long-awaited promoters license. Taylor fought after getting his license, but in 2006 he decided to put down the gloves, at least for a bit. “I fought Shonie Carter for the [World Extreme Cagefighting] world title. I made 500 bucks. He was the number 12 guy in the world at that time, and I just had my first son,” Taylor said. “I had friends that were retiring at 30, so I was like, I’m going to retire and do some personal business events and promote fights.” Desert Brawl put on 26 shows between 2005 and 2011, when the promotion ended. Gunderson stuck around for a couple years, but eventually moved to Las Vegas to train under early UFC legend Frank Shamrock. Eventually Gunderson achieved his dream of fighting in the UFC after a tireless fight schedule and proving himself in promotions across the country. “It’s just the pinnacle of the sport, especially, I feel

sychologist John Haidt developed the behavioral model of the “Rider and the Elephant” to showcase how humans have two different sides of thinking: the rider being more analytical using its rationale; and the elephant which leans more on emotions and feeling to make choices. Singer/ songwriter José González took a little inspiration from that analogy on his fourth album, in both feeling and the cover art’s message. In the middle of the album cover is an elephant with a blackbird riding its back, glowing eyes emerging from the dark as they reside in this moving and beautiful valley of Earth, drawn by his partner Hannele Fernström. Titled “Local Valley,” last fall’s release marks González’ fourth solo album—his first in six years and fourth in a span of 18. On the 13 tracks González finds himself reckoning with the times and looking at a wider scope. “It’s more outward looking than my earlier works, but no less personal. On the contrary, I feel more comfortable than ever saying that this album reflects me and my thoughts right now,” he says. Known internationally for selling out shows all over the world due to his intricate and beautifully crafted acoustic works, you may even know his style from movies such as, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” or his song “Teardrop” that played in “The Last Dance” documentary series about Michael Jordan. Central Oregon will play host to González this weekend at the Tower Theatre, which is honestly a huge treat for the community. Learn more about González below in this Artist Fact Sheet. Where he’s from: González was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, a year after his parents fled Argentina following the 1976 Argentine coup d'état. Before releasing solo material, González was busy playing in a variety of hardcore and alternative bands, like Back Against The Wall and most notably, Junip, to which he still takes part in today. Prior to going solo González was

studying to get his Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of Gothenburg, the same subject his mother was studying before they migrated to Sweden. But after he started releasing songs the attention he received caused González to switch his focus from biochemistry to music. What’s to like: From his rhythmic and groovy spins on folk music that take inspiration from dancehall and other genres alike, to his warm and inviting tone, González is able to say a lot in the spaces that music fills. He has that special ability to translate emotion into sound, which is the most pure form of music and song. Even with a softer voice, you can really feel that what González is saying is important. He grabs your attention and pulls you in deep. González oftentimes tackles important worldly subjects in a unique way that isn’t told in the typical political sense we see used today. He’s also an excellent fingerpicker, with highlights of skill filling his discography. Songs to start with: “Head On” (one of my favorites on the new album), “Heartbeats,” “Leaf Off / The Cave,” “Swing” For fans of: Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Novo Amor Random Internet Dig Fact: Last year, González told Paste Magazine that while working out he counts reps in Spanish, but speaks to his kids in Swedish, joking that it’s like “programming the reptile brain.” Spanish was his first language growing up, and until this point in his career González only wrote songs in English. But “Local Valley” marks the first time that each of his three languages will be used—Swedish, Spanish and English.

CULTURE 19

Dear Dr. Jane, How would you approach the matter of a couple who have gone an extended period without sex, and then when initiated, it’s just awkward because nobody knows what to do? More specifically, the lower libido partner may be waiting for the higher libido partner to make a move, while the higher libido partner is hesitant for fear of another rejection. —Feeling Stuck Dear Stuck, As I mentioned last month, sexual concerns between loving couples are very common. A recent study found that 50% of American couples have sex one or fewer times per month. Many of my clients have gone years and years without any physical intimacy at all, not even hand holding, hugging, touching or kissing. When you’re in this situation, it’s tough to get naked together again. I really understand that. If you’re the higher libido person, you probably feel rejected. If you’re the lower libido person, you probably feel inadequate. This isn’t a winning combo. Because of this, lots of higher libido partners decide to “wait it out.” They want to see how long it takes before their partner makes

a move. This seems like a good idea, but it usually makes things worse. As time passes, the lower libido partner (who may feel relieved at the beginning) will feel more and more pressure, and therefore less and less interest in sex. There are lots of good reasons for this that we’ll talk about in the coming months, but for now, you’re wondering how to get things moving again. I recommend one of two plans. Plan A: Ice Breaker Sex Use Plan A if it’s been a hot minute since you had sex—maybe 6 - 8 weeks, but in general you’re OK in the bedroom—just less frequency and passion than you’d like. You’re both super busy with the kids or work and stress is running high. Overall, your sex life isn’t completely DOA. Ice Breaker Sex is sex that both of you consent to (and even desire) because you want to feel close again and to get things to a better place. You’re feeling awkward since it’s been so long. But last time you had sex, even though it wasn’t mind blowing, it could have been a lot worse.

The key to Ice Breaker Sex (and any sex) is to talk about it openly. Tell your partner that you want to feel close. That you know the sex isn’t going to be amazing this time but that you want to reconnect. Take it slow. Check in with each other. Lower your expectations. The goal here is to get started. No pressure. You’re looking for nothing more than good enough. Laugh about it and make a plan for a better experience ASAP. Plan B: Stalemate Sex Use Plan B if it’s been more than two months since you had sex—or if your partner has had sexual trauma, pain or is nervous about sex. Discuss your desire to feel closer; that your interest in sex is an interest in them—not just sexual gratification or “getting it.” With Stalemate Sex, your goal is to remove any expectation of penetrative or invasive sex from the conversation. Start with long walks, maybe holding hands. Listen to them talk about how they’re feeling. Tell them you love them and how attractive they are to you— and not just the sexual parts. Start kissing—slowly without pressure. Maybe Unsplash

rub your partner’s head and touch their hair. Spoon with your clothes on. Watch Netflix and really chill. Slow down completely but keep touching and being together in loving ways. Don’t “power through” or “get it done.” That’ll make your partner shut down even more. Unless you’ve been on a crazy long work trip, sex is going to feel awkward after a hiatus. It’s kind of like going back to the yoga studio after all the crazy COVID stuff. Just like in yoga, be mindful of the situation and make a plan that’ll help you get better without getting hurt. This is going to take time. Figure out which plan to use, take a deep breath and start talking. You got this. xoxo Dr. Jane PS: Get help from a professional. —Dr. Jane Guyn (she/her) is a wellknown relationship coach who received her Ph.D. in Human Sexuality and is trained as a Professional Sex Coach and Core Energy Course.

CHOW More Pizza in Madras, Donut Delivery for Bend

The latest in openings in the Central Oregon restaurant world

By Nicole Vulcan

New things are happening at New Basin Distillers in Madras. New Basin began offering a full-service bar in September 2021, serving cocktails, beer, wine and cider, with a focus on higher end spirits. On top of that, the owners just opened Whiskey Pie, offering “cocktail-inspired wood fired pizza.” “My wife and I opened this cart last month and focus on true Neapolitan pizza with handmade fresh dough and sauce,” said owner Rick Molitor. The menu includes classics like the Margarita, along with those cocktail-inspired eats like the Rob Roy, featuring white sauce, Italian sausage, red onion and mozzarella. Other carts at New Basin include The Rusty Swine BBQ and More, The Teal Rose Coffee and Wildfyre Ramen and Katsu. New Basin is located at 2063 NW Andrews Drive in Madras.

Donut delivery for Bend Source readers have already been alerted to some of Central Oregon’s delightful donuts through Source contributor Brian Yaeger’s recent donut reviews—but on top of that, there’s a new sweet treat in town. Little Pine Donuts announced its opening in January, offering brioche donuts made fresh each morning. Customers can make orders at least one day in advance for donuts that come in various flavors. Current offerings include donuts filled with vanilla, Nutella, lemon and a seasonal strawberries and cream, all made without fillers or stabilizers. Delivery is available Friday through Sunday. Orders can be placed at littlepinedonuts.com or through Little Pine Donuts’ Facebook or Instagram @littlepinedonuts. Sushi at Midtown Yacht Club

Street tacos for Bend’s east side Courtesy Taco El Machin

Diners on Bend’s east side can find a new place to grab tasty tacos. Tacos El Machin offers street-style tacos inspired by the cuisine of Mexico City. The space at 2570 NE Twin Knolls Drive, near Timbers East, is the project of Noe Morales, who grew up in San Diego enjoying the flavors of the Southern California/Mexico border. “The southern influences bringing the authentic Mexican street food from the San Diego and Texas areas is exciting for Bend,” Morales said in a press release. The space is a casual sit-down style restaurant with catering available for private events. This is the third location for Tacos El Machin, with other locations open in Albany and Corvallis. Find more information at tacoselmachin.com.

NorthFresh Sushi, which made a splash at The Bite in Tumalo when it opened in 2020, is opening another cart at Midtown Yacht Club this month. This is the third NorthFresh Sushi location, with its original location located at The Yard in Salem. NorthFresh offers sushi, poke and make, along with other fresh foods. Get info on all three locations on Instagram @northfreshsushi.

Tots! Moves into 9th Street Village; Southern Accent Moves Out Tots!, the tasty snack cart featuring—you guessed it—homemade tots now has a second location. Tots! is now located in both the Midtown Yacht Club as well as the 9th Street Village adjacent to Bevel Brewing. But that change won’t be for long; the Tots! cart currently at Midtown Yacht Club will morph into a pizza cart called Peace Love Pepperoni in March, according to a feed from the owners on Instagram. And as something moves in, another moves out: Southern Accent, previously at 9th Street, is now at The Office at Silver Moon Brewing off Greenwood Avenue.

The Bat, The Cat and SC SCREEN Riddle Me That:

By Jared Rasic

“The Batman’s” vision of Gotham City is truly different and quite gorgeous.

“The Batman,” director Matt Reeves’ new reboot of the forever franchise (after Ben Affleck turned in the cape and cowl) answers a question many of us have had for years: what if Batman was super into The Cure? Imagine if a mix of Kurt Cobain and Howard Hughes and you’ll be close to Robert Pattinson’s take on The Bat and Bruce Wayne. I know I sound snarky, but it’s actually an interesting avenue to explore for the character, even if “The Batman” doesn’t take full advantage of its new freedoms. The weirdest thing about this new Batman movie is that it actually has a really cool approach to the style of Gotham City and the world of Batman. This is the gothiest Gotham has ever been, with misty neon streets reminiscent of David Fincher’s “Zodiac” and “Seven” adding a tactile realism to the city we’ve never seen before. Christopher Nolan’s Gotham felt like a gritty mash-up of Chicago and New York and Tim Burton’s felt like an extension of his childhood memories of silent German expressionist films like “Metropolis” and “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.” Reeves’ Gotham feels wholly original and, combined with dark and brooding cinematography of Greig Fraser, we have a Batman movie that feels grounded in a way that we haven’t seen before. All of this is weird because we finally

have a new Batman movie that looks different, but the script is an amalgamation of storylines we’ve seen in “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises.” We have the gangland story of “Begins” (even down to the point where mob boss Carmine Falcone, who was played by Tom Wilkinson in “Begins,” is back and played by John Turturro). We also have another Catwoman/ Selena Kyle, here played by Zoe Kravitz—soon after Anne Hathaway’s take on the character in “The Dark Knight Rises.” Even the main villain, The Riddler (played by Paul Dano), feels like a remix of Heath Ledger’s Joker, just louder and whinier. What was the purpose for Reeves to design and direct such a gorgeous looking new Batman movie when the plot is something we’ve seen so many times before? Robert Pattinson brings an emo strangeness to the role of Bruce Wayne/ Batman that’s definitely different than any of the takes we’ve seen before, but he’s stranded in a movie that is way more interested in nailing a tone and an aesthetic than telling a gripping and original story. There are no limits to the stories that can be told with Batman, so I’m not sure why, after this reboot of the franchise, we’re going back to the well so quickly with a plot that doesn’t take

our well-known and established characters off in any new and interesting directions. Don’t get me wrong, “The Batman” is very entertaining (even with its ridiculous three-hour runtime), but if Reeves had chosen to tell a story worthy of its visuals, performances and score, this could have been the greatest Batman movie of all time. As it stands, it’s just the best one since 2008’s “The Dark Knight.” Maybe my expectations were a little too high based on my unrepentant nerdiness and deeply abiding love of all things comic book, but it was hard not to feel let down. A Batman movie that’s also a serial killer/film noir/detective story is a brilliant concept, but if the story being told isn’t as elevated as the idea, then what’s the point? I’m definitely excited to see more films set in Reeves’ Batman universe, so here’s hoping that when we get the eventual sequel, it will take advantage of all the brilliant pieces to make a more satisfying whole.

Ski Race Returns, In Honor of the Mailman

McKenzie Pass ski event honors trailblazer John Craig

hough the ski season may be winding down, don’t “summerize” those Nordic skis just yet. The Oregon Nordic Club is bringing back the John Craig Memorial Ski Race and Tour up McKenzie Pass on Saturday, March 19. The event starts at the East Snow Gate on the McKenzie Pass Highway (9 miles west of Sisters) and is a self-timed race and casual tour that honors John Craig, a pioneer mailman who died in 1877 while attempting to cross McKenzie Pass. Craig truly imbibed the mailman’s creed of “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” “Twenty-five to thirty years ago, this race was sponsored by Dannon on a national circuit,” said Ted Scheinman, this year’s event coordinator. “They brought in a semi-truck full of swag and yogurt, of course, and there’d be up to 500 people racing.” Though popular for many years, the race diminished in scope and size for various reasons. “It got down to the point of about a dozen people a couple of years ago and most of those were board members of the state organization [ONC],” added Scheinman. “Obviously, I can’t bring the race back to what it was in the old days but I think it’s an important event for Central Oregon and has a good story behind it,” said Scheinman. That story involves the history of John Craig. John Templeton Craig was born in the McKenzie River Valley in 1832. When he was 30, he went to work for Captain Felix Scott to build a livestock trail from Eugene to Central Oregon. Scott wanted a route over the Cascades to drive cattle from the Willamette Valley to prospectors in Eastern Oregon where a gold-rush boom was taking place. The route aimed toward a low pass near North Sister but encountered massive lava flows and deep snowfields. Craig wanted to chip a route out through the lava, but Scott decided to skirt the edges of the flow to another pass higher up, which is now known as Scott’s Pass. Believing that a lower elevation route was possible, Craig eventually formed the McKenzie, Salt Springs and Deschutes Wagon Road Company in 1871. He and his crews cleared trees and chiseled out a roadbed through the lava to McKenzie Pass. A year later, Craig opened his toll road and charged $2 per wagon, a $1 per horse rider, 10¢ per cow and 5¢ per sheep. Later on, Craig won a federal contract to deliver mail from

LUCKY LEPRECHAUN RUN 2022

Celebrate all things green with a walk/run through beautiful Sisters

Near the summit of Mckenzie Pass, a monument honors the memory of pioneering mailman John Craig, whose body was found in the spring of 1878.

Camp Polk over McKenzie Pass to the Willamette Valley. In summer he traveled by horseback and in winter on skis. He built a cabin just west of McKenzie Pass, about the halfway point on this journey. It was in his cabin that rescuers found his body curled up atop cold ashes in the spring of 1878. Craig had set off from Camp Polk on Dec. 3 and may have been ill or exhausted when he reached his cabin. Perhaps it was a raging blizzard, as well, but the reasons why he died will forever be woven into Central Oregon lore. To honor this pioneer postman, a memorial monument was erected near the summit in 1930, and the first John Craig Memorial Ski Race was hosted in 1934. In 1972, ONC took over the organization of the race. This year’s event will blend a selftimed race and casual tour to entice all skiers of various abilities. ONC will have the course groomed for skate and classic Nordic skiers, with volunteer course monitors, aid stations and medical support on hand. Participants can complete either a 12-mile round-trip ski

to the Dee Wright Observatory at McKenzie Pass or complete a shorter course of about 6-8 miles round trip to Windy Point. “What I’m looking for is to put together an informal and fun event this year that will start bringing this event around,” said Scheinman. Registration is open on the ONC website. Cost is $20 for adults and $5 for youth, under 18. After March 12, registration will increase by $5 for adults. Membership in ONC is not required. The race and tour start between 10 am and noon. A pizza buffet in Sisters will follow the race. For more information or to volunteer, contact Ted Scheinman, at johncraigmemorial@onc.org or by phone at 503-914-9584 or go to the Oregon Nordic Club Website at www.onc.org.

According to worldhistory.org, “Leprechauns are figures in Irish folklore who guard hidden treasure. Regarded as small and incredibly agile male fairies or goblins, they most often guard a pot of gold.” In honor of St. Patrick’s Day and these mythical and lucky creatures, bring your family and friends out to run, walk, skip or trot through Sisters at the Lucky Leprechaun 5/10k Race held on March 12. Come decked out in green or dress up as a mischievous leprechaun in order to bring the celebration full circle at this chip-timed race. Participants can choose between either a 5k or 10k race that starts at the Sisters Depot, loops around the scenic town, and ends back at the Depot. After the race is when the real celebration begins with a free beer, great live music and a best dressed lucky leprechaun contest that’s sure to get all the little green people riled up. Fire pits, commemorative beer mugs and the timed results of your race will also be available at the finish line. Registration costs for the race runs at $45 for the 5k and $50 for the 10k. The races begin at 10am for the 10k run, 10:15am for the 5k run and 10:20am for the 5k walk, leading to all festivities ending at noon. Strollers, dogs and magical creatures are welcomed and encouraged to compete in both the race and costume contest! For more information and to register, visit runsistersrun.com.

Oregon Wants Higher Taxes for Getting High

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 10, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A bill to raise taxes on cannabis was on the Senate President’s desk at the end of the March legislative session. By Josh Jardine

nless you are a Medical Marijuana patient or caregiver, you have to pay a tax when purchasing cannabis, and cannabis products, in Oregon. One of the selling points of establishing regulated cannabis programs is the tax revenue, and here in the Pacific Wonderland, the state collects a tax of 17% on your purchase, and cities and counties with dispensaries may collect up to 3%, for a total of 20%, meaning that $100 bag of green truly costs $120. In a state without a sales tax on goods and services, it’s an adjustment to pay a “sin tax.” But as cannabis tax revenue has grown, the manner in which it’s distributed has been substantially modified, making the taxes more palatable to some canna-consumers. The first round of taxes from 2016 to 2017 totaled over $108 million, and after the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission’s cannabis division startup costs, and expenses in collecting the tax, $85 million was distributed with 40% for schools, 20% for mental health, alcoholism and drug counseling, 15% for the Oregon State Police and 5% for the Oregon Health Authority. Then came Measure 110 in 2020, which specified that beginning in 2021, cities and counties with cannabis programs now get 10% each, and along with the aforementioned entities, would now split a quarterly flat payment of $11.25 million. Anything above and beyond that is given to the Drug Treatment and Recovery Services Fund. In 2021, the state took in over $176 million in canna taxes, of which $131 million went to the DTRS Fund. That’s really-super-happy-good-times news, because Oregon has two of the least desirable statistical standings: We are number two in the nation for drug addiction (congrats # 1 Montana), and by state, dead last in access to treatment services. Cannabis’ distant cousin, with whom it cannot play well with after too much time together, alcohol, comes with its own tax hefty bill. Oregon has the second-highest tax rate on spirits, just behind Washington state. But even at 20%, Oregon has one of the lower cannabis tax rates (Washington’s is the highest at 37%), but there are efforts underway to substantially increase them. Senate Bill 1506 would let cities increase their tax from 3% to 10%, meaning a total tax of 27%. Ouch. But supporters say that Measure 110, while doing a great job funding the

Unsplash

much-needed Drug Treatment and Recovery Services Fund, resulted in a $50 million hit to cities and counties, a reduction of over 70%. The tax increase would help fill that void, made more painful from economic losses related to the pandemic. But for an industry already punitively pummeled by outdated garbage tax code 280e, which imposes a tax rate of up to 80% on cannabis businesses, never mind not having access to banking and the costs associated with that, these additional taxes aren’t being embraced. Especially when inflation is producing sticker shock on nearly all goods, it’s a tax increase that opponents believe will drive consumers back to calling their hook up, the one that provides a ziplock as an exit bag, and the only tax you pay is having to listen to their new Death Metal/Trap Klezmer Mumble Rap mash-up mix while they weigh out your weed. There are myriad benefits of a regulated and taxed system that provides rigorous testing for potency, poisons and terpenes. Never mind that back in the day, my dealer never had chocolate covered vegan THC-infused marshmallows. (Leif Goods do, and they taste like God’s laughter.) But at a time of rising prices and stagnant wages, cannabis consumers may well forgo those benefits if they can get their cannabis needs met for 30%+ less than at a dispensary. If the state wants to raise more revenue from the cannabis industry, how about developing underserved cannabis tourism through the permitting of cannabis events, consumption lounges, product sampling opportunities, and a hundred other happenings that Oregon and the OLCC allow with beer, wine and spirits? The tax revenue from doing so would come from new job growth and increased visitors to Oregon, instead of penalizing stressed out consumers seeking to get through this thing we call life with the help of a plant.

• RELAXATION

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Singer, dancer, and comedian Sammy Davis Jr. disliked the song “The Candy Man,” but he recorded it anyway, heeding his advisors. He spent just a brief time in the studio, finishing his vocals in two takes. “The song is going straight to the toilet,” he complained, “pulling my career down with it.” Surprise! It became the best-selling tune of his career, topping the Billboard charts for three weeks. I suspect there could be a similar phenomenon (or two!) in your life during the coming months, Aries. Don’t be too sure you know how or where your interesting accomplishments will arise.

Angelou’s definition of high accomplishment, and I recommend you take steps to make it your own in the coming weeks. She wrote, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” Please note that in her view, success is not primarily about being popular, prestigious, powerful, or prosperous. I’m sure she wouldn’t exclude those qualities from her formula, but the key point is that they are all less crucial than selflove. Please devote quality time to refining and upgrading this aspect of your drive for success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’m not fake in any way,” declared Gemini actor Courteney Cox. On the face of it, that’s an amazing statement for a Gemini to make. After all, many in your tribe are masters of disguise and shapeshifting. Cox herself has won accolades for playing a wide variety of characters during her film and TV career, ranging from comedy to drama to horror. But let’s consider the possibility that, yes, you Geminis can be versatile, mutable, and mercurial, yet also authentic and genuine. I think this specialty of yours could and should be extra prominent in the coming weeks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Sometimes I prayed for Baby Jesus to make me good, but Baby Jesus didn’t,” wrote author Barbara Kingsolver about her childhood approach to self-improvement. Just because this method failed to work for her, however, doesn’t mean it won’t work for others. In saying that, I’m not implying you should send out appeals to Baby Jesus. But I suggest you call on your imagination to help you figure out what influences may, in fact, boost your goodness. It’s an excellent time to seek help as you elevate your integrity, expand your compassion, and deepen your commitment to ethical behavior. It’s not that you’re deficient in those departments; just that now is your special time to do what we all need to do periodically: Make sure our actual behavior is in rapt alignment with our high ideals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo classicist and author Edith Hamilton specialized in the history of ancient Greece. The poet Homer was one of the most influential voices of that world. Hamilton wrote, “An ancient writer said of Homer that he touched nothing without somehow honoring and glorifying it.” I love that about his work, and I invite you to match his energy in the coming weeks. I realize that’s a lot to ask. But according to my reading of the astrological omens, you will indeed have a knack for honoring and glorifying all you touch. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Starhawk, one of my favorite witches, reminds us that “sexuality is the expression of the creative life force of the universe. It is not dirty, nor is it merely ‘normal’; it is sacred. And sacred can also be affectionate, joyful, pleasurable, passionate, funny, or purely animal.” I hope you enjoy an abundance of such lushness in the coming weeks, Virgo. It’s a favorable time in your astrological cycle for synergizing eros and spirituality. You have poetic license to express your delight about being alive with imaginative acts of sublime love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1634, English poet

has become an idiom referring to a redemptive aspect of an experience that falls short of expectations. Over 350 years later, American author Arthur Yorinks wrote, “Too many people miss the silver lining because they’re expecting gold.” Now I’m relaying his message to you. Hopefully, my heads-up will ensure that you won’t miss the silver lining for any reason, including the possibility that you’re fixated on gold.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “This is the most profound spiritual truth I know,” declares author Anne Lamott. “That even when we’re most sure that love can’t conquer all, it seems to anyway. It goes down into the rat hole with us, in the guise of our friends, and there it swells and comforts. It gives us second winds, third winds, hundredth winds.” Lamott’s thoughts will be your wisdom to live by during the next eight weeks, Scorpio. Even if you think you already know everything there is to know about the powers of love to heal and transform, I urge you to be open to new powers that you have never before seen in action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Witty Sagittarian author Ashleigh Brilliant has created thousands of cheerful yet often sardonic epigrams. In accordance with current astrological omens, I have chosen six that will be useful for you to treat as your own in the coming weeks. 1. “I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent.” 2. “I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy.” 3. “All I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power.” 4. “Do your best to satisfy me—that’s all I ask of everybody.” 5. “I’m just moving clouds today, tomorrow I’ll try mountains.” 6. “A terrible thing has happened. I have lost my will to suffer.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “All experience is an enrichment rather than an impoverishment,” wrote author Eudora Welty. That may seem like a simple and obvious statement, but in my view, it’s profound and revolutionary. Too often, we are inclined to conclude that a relatively unpleasant or inconvenient event has diminished us. And while it may indeed have drained some of our vitality or caused us angst, it has almost certainly taught us a lesson or given us insight that will serve us well in the long run—if only to help us avoid similar downers in the future. According to my analysis of your current astrological omens, these thoughts are of prime importance for you right now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Life swarms with innocent monsters,” observed poet Charles Baudelaire. Who are the “innocent monsters”? I’ll suggest a few candidates. Boring people who waste your time but who aren’t inherently evil. Cute advertisements that subtly coax you to want stuff you don’t really need. Social media that seem like amusing diversions except for the fact that they suck your time and drain your energy. That’s the bad news, Aquarius. The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to eliminate from your life at least some of those innocent monsters. You’re entering a period when you’ll have a strong knack for purging “nice” influences that aren’t really very nice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Never underestimate the wisdom of being easily satisfied,” wrote aphorist Marty Rubin. If you’re open to welcoming such a challenge, Pisces, I propose that you work on being very easily satisfied during the coming weeks. See if you can figure out how to enjoy even the smallest daily events with blissful gratitude. Exult in the details that make your daily rhythm so rich. Use your ingenuity to deepen your capacity for regarding life as an ongoing miracle. If you do this right, there will be no need to pretend you’re having fun. You will vividly enhance your sensitivity to the ordinary glories we all tend to take for granted.

John Milton coined the phrase “silver lining.” It

Evolution, it turns out, is a romantic doomsday prepper, setting us up with an “in case our boo disappears on us” contingency plan: basically the mating version of a reserve parachute or the Vice President. Evolutionary psychologists Joshua Duntley and David Buss find that most of us cultivate “backup mates”: romantic Plan Bs we can plug into our life pronto if our current mate dies or ditches us or their “mate value” goes cliff diving. Though keeping a mental stash of backup boos seems like a sure sign a relationship has gone toiletward, Duntley and Buss find that even people in the happiest relationships are driven to maintain backup mates. “Maintaining” backup mates can mean simply having them in mind. However, it can also involve efforts to keep a backup mate out of other relationships -- like by sneering about the looks and “terrible” qualities of a dude they’re into (who’s actually pretty much Jake Gyllenhaal crossed with Bishop Tutu and The Rock). Major warmfuzzy fail, sure, but it makes evolutionary sense. It’s essentially mate-loss insurance. Just as car insurance replaces your car pretty fast after you total it, having a backup mate at the ready shortens the genetically costly sexual downtime between losing or dumping a partner and slotting in their replacement. By the way, both men and women have backup mates -- three, on average -- sometimes consciously, but often subconsciously: a clever little scheme by evolution. (The relationship “crimes” we don’t quite know we’re committing don’t quite leave us sick with guilt.) Understandably, you long to tell your boyfriend to “put some distance” between himself and his ex (like by getting NASA to strap her to a rocket and blast her into space to play nuzzlylunch with the Mars Rover). However, psychologist Jack Brehm finds that telling a person what to do -- trying to control their behavior -- tends to be a bust, firing up a fear- and anxiety-driven freakout he calls “psychological reactance.”

and thoughtful and perfect in nearly every way -- except one. He’s really good friends with his ex. They grab lunch every week, and she’ll call him to vent or get advice. He assures me they're just friends, but I can't help but feel threatened. Is it crazy to tell him he needs to put some distance between them? --Anxious

The apparent threat to a person’s freedom to do as they choose jacks them into a motivational state: an intense desire to keep doing whatever they’ve been doing -- often with a ferocity not seen till somebody put the squeeze on them. Additionally, activities they might be just mildly interested in tend to explode in importance the moment someone tries to take them away. (“Give me tennis or give me death!”) In other words, telling the boyfriend he’s gotta dial it back with the ex could push him to, well, dial it forward. On the other hand, not telling him could take big bites out of you, especially if you’re “insecurely attached” (psychologists’ term for a relationship style driven by strong fears of abandonment and its feelbad cousins like anger, depression, and jealousy). Jealousy gets a bad name, mainly from all the pain it spreads around, but it’s actually functional: an evolved alarm system, alerting us to threats to our relationships. But it also detects threats where none actually exists. Like smoke detectors, it’s calibrated to err on the side of “Better safe than charbroiled!” -- especially in the insecurely attached. That said, jealousy that seems “paranoid” might not be. Evolutionary psychologist Tom Kupfer lays out reasons some people have higher levels of jealousy: feeling their partner isn’t trustworthy, believing they aren’t as hot as their partner, and having been cheated on (in a past relationship, or, especially, in their current one!). As for you, to determine the actual threat level and decide what to do, context matters: specifically, the nature of your relationship and the nature of theirs (that is, why your relationship exists and theirs doesn’t). First, consider that you describe your boyfriend as “caring and thoughtful and perfect in every way,” and probably not because you forgot “...and a callous dirtbag and world-class scamster.” Next, ask yourself: Is what you and your boyfriend have together rare and irreplaceable (on every level, from love to sex to fun), or...just another trolley stop on Relationship Avenue? Finally, ask your boyfriend what he saw in his ex and why they broke up. Was there a passing issue that’s now a moot point (in which case, ruh-roh!) -- or...were there “irreconcilable differences,” from emotional issues, to “we just want different things,” to big unsolvable sex problems? Best “breathe a sigh of relief!” case scenario: She’s sexually dead to him, as in, his penis is all, “I’m not getting up outta bed for that!”

Inflation and Real Estate

How inflation will impact our local market today is good, because inflation will eventually cause wages to increase, and you will be servicing your debt with “inflated dollars.” These inflated dollars will allow you extra savings and wiggle room to help with the inflated costs of goods and services. Simply put, you are locking in your largest liability (for most) and allowing yourself to take advantage of the rising housing market as well positioning yourself well against inflation. The other aspect of inflation that will impact the housing market will be from investors looking to pull money out of a volatile market. During inflationary periods, investors tend to favor the asset classes over the more influx markets. Housing appreciation has been outpacing inflation consistently over the last 50 years. The only times inflation outpaced home appreciation we experienced recessions, such as in the early 1980s and the late 2000s, and even then, it was very close! In the 2010s inflation was 1.8%, versus home appreciation of 4.9% for the decade. The last two years the gap has grown significantly. In 2020 inflation was 1.4% vs 9.2% home appreciation, and 2021 the gap widened even more, at 6.8% inflation versus 18% home appreciation, according to the National Association of Realtors. The logic here is like what I wrote above: about locking in debt payments, except now as inflation and home appreciation both influence rents, rents will continue to increase. The debt will be serviced with rising rents from inflated prices which will allow investors' monthly cashflow to increase as well. Unfortunately, this new inflationary period will continue the sellers’ market we experienced during the low rate/COVID periods over the last few years.

ou have probably heard or read about the impact inflation is having on our economy. Everything seems to be increasing in price. In fact, in 2021 we saw the largest increase in the Consumer Price Index in over 40 years, rising 6.8%. CPI measures the changes in prices paid by households for goods and services. Often inflation moves relatively slowly and mostly goes unnoticed year over year. It’s when you take a step back and remember what things used to cost many years ago that all of a sudden we grasp how inflation works. For example, when I was in high school, a Big Mac meal at McDonald’s was $2.99 (I graduated in 2002). Right now, that same meal is $9.50! Over the course of the last few decades our economy has seen a few ups and downs to say the least, but inflation has been relatively steady up until the big jump in 2021. How will inflation affect our local real estate market? The short answer is more of the same regarding competition, as inflation will bring additional buyers looking to hedge against inflation in a couple of manners. How would someone use real estate as a hedge against inflation? There are a couple of ways, going back to what I have been telling my first-time homebuyers for a few years. If you’re renting or have rented in the last five years, remember what your rent was in 2017? Would you prefer to be paying your 2017 rent or your rent today? When you purchase a home using a fixed-rate mortgage you are essentially locking in your housing payment for however many years you are financing your home. To be clear, your taxes and insurance costs can and do change, but the overall effect on your payment is negligible. The idea here is that taking on debt
