Locals hear it all the time: We’re living in one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. What that often means is, in more than one facet of life, the speed of growth outpaces what one person, company, entity or government can get a handle on. It also means we watch the difference between the speed at which government can act, and the speed at which the rest of the economy moves.

In the case of the proposed Deschutes County central library, we can see the pains that come when ideas outstrip capacity. The project was approved by voters countywide during the November 2020 election, with 52.42% of voters saying yes; 47.58% saying no. And while some have vehemently opposed the sited location for this countywide central hub—near the junction of Hwy. 20 and Hwy. 97, where it would be easy to access for the Deschutes County residents who live in Sisters and Redmond—what is currently in question is not necessarily location, but timing.

Officials with the Deschutes Public Library have five years to spend the money involved with the library bond or it has to be given back. Last week, DPL brought the project before the Bend City Council, hoping to be granted a variance to avoid a required Urban Growth Boundary master planning process and get work started. While, to the average onlooker it would seem to be “inside Bend” due to the massive amount of retail and traffic and its proximity to landmarks like the sheriff’s office and Trader Joe’s, the site is presently outside Bend’s UGB. At its meeting March 16, councilors did not indicate support for a variance. A past council granted one to nearby North Star Elementary, citing an urgent need for more classrooms for kids, but current councilors did not seem to see the same urgency for the central library. The nearby intersection at Robal Road and Hwy. 97 still needs to be improved. A sewer

project, which has been wending its way around much of Bend at great expense and effort, has yet to be scheduled for the area. DPL appears to have done its due diligence by getting verbal approval from the Bend Planning Commission regarding the variance. Now, though, the heavy lift with the current City Council appears to be more difficult.

When our community talks about the pace of growth, these struggles around projects like a central library are the growing pains. We agree that granting a variance is not the right move at this time. It would result in having a library— and its promised performing arts center—built before the infrastructure can support it. But we can’t help but look across the highway from this project at the big boxes already in place, and think, if there’s a will, there’s a way. Voters coming out in support of a project is the evidence of will. What we are hoping for now, is the way from our public officials.

Right now, we are seeing housing prices continue to skyrocket and all sorts of housing pop up in all parts of Bend. We are growing in population, and that’s meant a growing need for more schools and more parks, more cops; more everything that makes life better and safer for residents.

Bend has seen fit to build more big boxes, but when it comes to crucial cultural institutions, it appears we are awakening from two years of COVID haze and balking at the challenge. We’ve gained a Chik-Fil-A, but heaven help us if we try to add a theater.

The gears of government rarely run smoothly, and none of us should expect a massive project like a centralized library to dovetail smoothly with City planning.

In the frenetic pace we currently live in, we do expect, after hearing from the community on this library bond—through a public vote—that the various government entities gather the collective will to see this project break ground sooner rather than later.

GAS PRICES

This should make Americans ask the fundamental question: what is the difference between what a public nonprofit utility company provides and what a private for-profit oil company provides? After all they both sell energy to all United States citizens. The difference is that natural gas and electricity are sold in the form of a public good whereas oil is sold in the form of a private good. Accordingly, on the grounds of promoting national security, the United States Congress should convert all oil companies to utility companies. This would eliminate the windfall profits and force the oil industry to earn just enough income to cover operating expenses just as natural gas and electric utility companies are required to do. The resulting drop in gasoline prices would further stimulate the economy and lighten the energy stranglehold upon the United States by the Middle East. It would also eliminate the influence of the oil lobby. In this case, desperate times call for deliberate measures. But as pathetic as the energy policy is in the United States the effort to develop alternative sources of energy won’t really be accelerated until the oil dries up and the Saudis place solar cells all across their desert and then sell us the electricity.

RE: IN THE BCD, A MESS, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY OPINION, 3/10

The BCD definition included no new automotive service in the district very clearly. So in their infinite wisdom city council decided to allow an entire undeveloped city block to become a new Les Schwab instead of an eight story apartment building it should be. Because they wanted the SDC fees and taxes instead of pushing for good growth for Bend’s future. Thanks Barb Campbell who told me that there will be wonderful housing opportunities in Schwab’s old location right next to the tracks. Thanks all of the rest of you who ignored your duty to benefit your community for the long haul. The fault lies with leaders unwilling to put teeth in the BCD and make it work.

Appears we have none. Too bad. Could have been great!! The original plan was on target. Reality without real cohesive city support it sucks.

—Christy Nickey via facebook.com The same people complaining about the houseless populations are creating their own monster with their greed. Just because you CAN charge $1,800 for rent, doesn’t mean you should. Then consider all the short term rentals (AirBnB) that take housing away from locals and operate businesses in areas not zoned for that. We have the same problems on the coast. The people that work the tills, clean the rooms, wait the tables, and essentially keep the town alive for the tourists to flock to, are being pushed into the streets.

SAVE WORRELL PARK

An ideal way to save Worrell Park: build a large parking garage over the existing parking lot north of the county building. And then when there are events downtown or at Drake Park run a special shuttle bus for participants to and from the “County Parking Garage” to relieve the parking problems downtown and at the park, although it would be in walking distance. But keep the park, it is a little gem of nature for Bend!

I appreciate the Source’s article last month highlighting Dr. Sarah Jaquette Ray’s work and presentation on Climate Anxiety. As someone who has known about human-caused climate change since I was 18, and been involved in taking action ever since, I do have my fair share of climate anxiety.

Climate anxiety for me can look like trying not to think about the specifics of likely climate induced wars. It’s rafting down the McKenzie River, and hoping the rest of Oregon’s communities and forests don’t burn to a crisp. Or, during a day out on the snow, it’s thinking about a future with less ski days.

Jaquette Ray mentions we shouldn’t let ourselves feel too small to make a difference. I feel like I’ve done a decent job at this which does help keep that anxiety at bay. I try to say yes to opportunities, no matter how “small,” to take action on curbing the climate crisis. One of those opportunities is getting involved in local elections.

In the coming months leading up to the May Primary, Bendites have a chance to take meaningful action because who we elect and their values make a difference in the laws that get passed. We need leaders who understand what it takes to dampen the flames of the climate crisis so to speak. This year, those candidates are Tina Kotek for Oregon Governor and Jamie McLeod-Skinner for congressional district 5. Please join me in making a difference by supporting these two.

Golf Course Correction WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 24, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

The River’s Edge Homeowners Association finalized a deal to keep its golf course running, after it nearly became a large housing development

By Jack Harvel The River’s Edge Community Master Association announced that the sale of River’s Edge Golf Course finalized for a sum of $500,000. In April 2021 River’s Edge’s former owner Wayne Purcell announced his intention to sell the golf course to Pahlisch Homes, which planned to develop it into 370+ homes. Nearby residents weren’t happy.

They started a campaign to “Save the Golf Course,” citing potentially increased traffic, decreased real estate values and the loss of the golf course views advertised to them when they bought their homes. The River’s Edge community spoke out against the proposed sale through yard signs, online and at a tense town hall where Dan Pahlisch failed to assuage the crowd of homeowners. In August 2021 adjacent homeowners sued both Palisch Homes and River’s Edge LLC to block the development.

On Oct. 23 last year the homeowner’s association announced it had reached a settlement with River’s Edge and would buy all 141 acres of the golf course and its facilities.

The settlement gave homeowners four months to conduct due diligence on the golf course, and then have 30 days to make a purchase, giving a final deadline of March 23.

“This is a wonderful day for our community. We saved the golf course, and by doing so preserved a beautiful and precious amenity for our homeowners and an iconic public golf course for the Bend community,” said Jeff Kramer, president of the River’s Edge Community Master Association, in a press release.

The golf course will remain open to the public, and Kramer also announced a slate of improvements to the grounds and facilities.

“We have big plans for this golf season and the future,” Kramer said. “We’ll start by improving the physical condition of the course and then work toward making it a more enjoyable course for everyone to play, whether you’re an ace golfer or just a beginner. We also plan to upgrade the clubhouse restaurant and make the overall experience of coming to River’s Edge one that will keep people coming back.”

“This is a wonderful day for our community. We saved the golf course, and by doing so preserved a beautiful and precious amenity for our homeowners and an iconic public golf course for the Bend community.”

Homeowners in the River's Edge community went to court and successfully blocked the move to turn tracts like this into new housing. The sale of 141 acres beat the March 23 deadline.

Warm Springs Without Water

The Confederated Tribe of Warm Springs’ water treatment plant is out of service, the latest in a string of issues with aging infrastructure

7

By Jack Harvel Dan Martinez

The reservation’s aging water system has been struggling for years, forcing tribal leaders to issue boil notices and deal with broken pipes.

Warm Springs is set to receive some of the $3.5 billion in federal funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law in November. Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley said back in October that the top projects on the list are Warm Springs’ dry creek water treatment plant, repairing a collapsed sewer main and upgrading the Shitike Creek water main.

Long-term water system upgrades can take years to plan, let alone complete.

Currently the CTOWS is trying to stay ahead of demand, intending to keep a supply of at least 20 to 30 days of water.

Water users south of Shitike Creek are in good shape, according to KWSO, but 80% of Warm Springs’ residents will be affected.

The reservation is taking water donations and accepting gift cards for grocery stores where people can buy water.

Those looking to donate are asked to call 541-647-9001. Donations can be dropped off at the Emergency Management Services office at 1116 Wasco Street in Warm Springs.

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs transports bottled water throughout the many districts on the reservation.

“So it wasn’t as devastating as I thought, because of the smoke and all that. That thing was arcing off for almost an hour before PP&L (Pacific Power and Light) was able to get it shut off.”

—DAN MARTINEZ

Masking After Mandates

With no more mask mandates, individuals make the choice to keep or remove their masks

By Jack Harvel Oregon ended its mask mandate for indoor spaces on March 12, ending a nearly two-year period of mandatory masking. Since the state first instituted mask mandates in June 2020, there’s only been one period without the mandate, which was quickly reinstated as the Delta variant surged. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown shelved the first mask mandate after it reached a preset target of 70% vaccination, but the most recent one ended after meeting targets on hospitalizations.

“When the number of beds occupied was under 400, that was kind of the goal of the state and it was decreasing. That’s when they decided that there was low enough transmission rates, as well as the hospital system being able to handle that. And then, the Oregon, Washington and California governors all kind of aligned on a date, so that it was all happening on the West Coast at the same time,” said Emily Freeland, operations section chief at Deschutes County Health Services.

Freeland said there’s still a good amount of disease transmission, but the state has moved toward emphasizing severe disease and hospitalizations rather than case numbers after Omicron infected unprecedented numbers of people. The Oregon Health Authority reported that as of the week of March 6, the most recent data available, there were 130 hospitalizations and 21 deaths.

Looking around any public space in Central Oregon you’ll find most people aren’t masking now that it’s not mandated, but you’ll still find some peppered throughout the crowd.

“I think a lot of people don’t realize that the list of ‘underlying conditions’ that puts you at a higher risk for complications with COVID includes stuff we consider pretty non-critical, like ADHD or depression,” said Laura Camacho, a Central Oregonian who’s continuing to wear a KN95 mask in indoor spaces. “The risk of post-COVID conditions in currently healthy people is not zero; it’s somewhere between 10-30%.

It’s a game of roulette that a lot of people don’t even realize they’re playing.”

Camacho said her family’s exposure to COVID has been devastating; one of her children that used to have heaps of energy now gets exhausted quickly; another experienced a mental health decline after contracting the virus and a third was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, an autonomic nervous system disorder. Camacho herself still suffers from a cough, lung ache, exhaustion and shortterm memory glitches.

“There’s a level at which I’m not sure I’ll ever again want to be in crowded public spaces without a mask on, and that isn’t just because of COVID. Aside from catching Omicron, no one in my family had even the tiniest cold in over two years,” Camacho said.

After the mandate lifted, Clare Kubota wanted to remain cautious and continue to mask in public spaces. But after the first non-masked event at her church, she realized just how eager she was to be done with them.

“When we went back and had our first service this past Sunday with no masks, we have a space that fits about 150, and we had about 50 people there. And I did not wear a mask there. Because I was just so excited to see people’s smiles and just to not have to be burdened by the mask,” Kubota said. “I think in hindsight when I initially said, ‘I would have worn a mask in that situation.’ But, no, I’m just ready to be done.”

Pandemic fatigue was kicking in months after COVID-19 first began circulating. Depression and anxiety rates rose by nearly a third, alcohol consumption spiked, nearly one in five health care workers quit their job during the pandemic.

“I think it’s a difficult situation, there’s variable levels of risk assessments that people are doing. And some people are really uncomfortable with removing masks, and other people cannot wait,” Freeland of Deschutes County said. “I think it’s really important that whatever people’s choices are, whether it’s to continue to wear a mask, or being in a space with people that are not wearing a mask, I am, respecting other people’s decisions and helping have some kind of cohesiveness in our community and kindness as we move forward.”

A

n underground electrical fire on March 19 at the Warm Springs Indian Reservation disabled the reservation’s water treatment plant, prompting the tribes’ utilities department to issue an emergency water conservation notice to users in the agency area, including Upper Dry Creek, Sunnyside, Wolfe Point and the Kah-Nee-Ta Hamlets.

Water conservation strategies include turning off running water while cleaning dishes and brushing teeth, taking fewer and shorter showers or baths and making sure outside water is turned off. The original announcement said repairs could take up to two months, but officials have been more optimistic since, and stated that it could be running in a matter of weeks.

“It wasn’t as devastating as I thought, because of the smoke and all that. That thing was arcing off for almost an hour before PP&L (Pacific Power and Light, also known as Pacific Power) was able to get it shut off,” Warm Springs Emergency Manager Dan Martinez told KTVZ. Tribal officials began delivering water on Saturday, and portable toilets, showers and drinking water are offered at the reservation’s former elementary school.

Warm Springs sin agua Por/By Jack Harvel Traducido por/Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar

tratamiento de agua en cuestión de semanas.

El sábado, en la que era la escuela primaria, las autoridades de la Tribu, comenzaron a suministrar agua, sanitarios y regaderas portátiles, y agua potable. El viejo sistema de agua de la reserva ha tenido problemas durante años, obligando a los líderes tribales a emitir avisos y a arreglar tubería rota.

Warm Spring está listo para recibir parte de los $3.5 billones en fondos federales de parte de la Ley de Inversión en Infraestructura y Empleos implementada en noviembre. El Senador de Oregon, Jeff Merkley, dijo en octubre que entre los primeros proyectos se encuentra la planta de tratamiento de agua Dry Creek de Warm Springs, la reparación de una tubería de alcantarillado desplomada y la mejora de la tubería principal de Shitike Creek. El mejoramiento a largo plazo del sistema de agua puede llevar años en planearse y

mucho menos en llevarse a cabo.

Actualmente, CTOWS está tratando de anticiparse a la demanda, tratando de mantener un suministro de agua de por lo menos 20 a 30 días. De acuerdo con KWSO, los usuarios de Warm Springs localizados al sur del arroyo Shitike se encuentran en buen estado, pero el 80% de los habitantes de Warm Springs se verán afectados.

La reserva está aceptando donaciones de agua y acepta tarjetas de regalo de las tiendas de autoservicio en las cuales la gente puede comprar agua. Para aquellas personas que deseen donar, llamar al 541-647-9011.

Puede dejar sus donaciones en la oficina de Emergency Management Services localizada en 1116 Wasco Street en Warm Springs.

l 16 de marzo, el consejo de la ciudad de Bend aprobó la instauración inicial de un nuevo centro de navegación (navigation center) de la ciudad, un albergue de emergencia de acceso fácil que conecta a las personas y familias con servicios de salud, beneficios públicos y vivienda permanente.

La legislatura de Oregon otorgó a Bend y a otras seis ciudades de Oregon $2.5 millones en fondos para crear el centro de navegación. Desde que se confirmó en el mes de junio la llegada de fondos estatales, las autoridades de la ciudad han estado asesorándose con los proveedores de servicios de la región para determinar cómo sería el nuevo centro de navegación.

“Es una definición muy generalizada. Se debe ofrecer servicios a las familias y a las personas para que se conecte a la gente con beneficios públicos y con recursos para vivienda permanente,” dijo Amy Fraley, coordinadora de vivienda accesible de la ciudad de Bend. Óptimamente; los centros de navegación incluyen

un gerente de casos, referencias en relación a la conducta y la salud física, servicios o referencias en relación a la adicción, comidas diarias y obtención de documentos para ayudar a volver a obtener vivienda, como identificaciones estatales y tarjetas de seguro social.

La ciudad presentó una solicitud en diciembre de 2021 para determinar el interés y la disponibilidad de los proveedores de servicios locales y Sheperd’s House se ofreció para brindar el servicio.

Las instalaciones de Shepherd’s House’s, localizada sobre la calle dos (Second St), necesitarán una cocina comercial y más regaderas para encajar bajo la definición de centro de navegación, lo cual requeriría de un mejoramiento del desagüe. Se espera que para el 30 de junio conste con personal las 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana, servicios y participación continua en el manejo del sistema de información de personas sin hogar

Navigating the Houseless Crisis

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 24, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A large houseless camp was cleared, while the City, County and state take steps to get people off the street

By Jack Harvel

At the crack of dawn on March 14 the Bend Police Department arrived at the Second Street camp to clear campers off public right of ways. Bend City Manager Eric King declared the campsite unsafe after a report from BPD deemed it unsafe on Feb. 16, under criteria approved by the Bend City Council in December.

The campsite surged after the Oregon Department of Transportation cleared the on-ramp to Highway 97 on Revere Avenue in October, which itself swelled after Emerson Avenue was cleared in June. The City is required to give campers at least two weeks’ notice and service providers 72-hour notice, though service providers said they were informed earlier than the minimum requirements.

“There were several service providers that were down there having conversations with people, kind of chatting about what they needed to make sure that they were able to move, whether that was a cart to pull their items, whether they needed a new tent or other items,” said Stacey Witte, executive director of REACH, an organization that provides outreach to houseless people.

Witte said REACH conducted assessments to connect people with different housing options like the newly opened Division Street Shelter. Most of the displaced campers moved to already existing camps like those on Hunnel Road, China Hat Road and smaller campsites dispersed throughout town.

“I think that when someone has to move further out of the area, there are some more challenges,” Witte said. Challenges can include access to food and water, transportation and propane. Longer commutes can often be devastating for houseless people who are susceptible to theft when they leave their belongings out.

Director of Development at Shepherd’s House David Notari said the overnight shelter on Second Street saw a couple former Second Street campers stay, but that most have dispersed to other campsites.

Project S.H.A.R.E., Shepherd’s House’s team that does direct outreach to campsites across town, attempts to build relationships in the hopes people will eventually use shelters rather than camping.

“I think that’s one of the key factors in helping a person to develop trust so that they would step into a shelter, because many of them have anxiety about that, have apprehensions about that,” Notari said. “We’ve seen a little increase based upon that Second Street closure. But the reality is that there are many who are stuck in the dilemma of homelessness who don’t want

to live in a shelter.”

There’s a challenge connecting people to services who don’t want to live in a shelter, but officials hope it can be partially addressed with the creation of a navigation center.

Navigation Center

On March 16 the Bend City Council gave its initial approval to establish a new city navigation center, a low-barrier emergency shelter that connects individuals and families with health services, public benefits and permanent housing.

The Oregon legislature awarded Bend and six other Oregon cities $2.5 million in funding to establish a navigation center. Since confirming state funding was coming its way in June, city officials have been consulting with regional service providers to determine just what a new navigation center would look like.

“It’s a pretty broad definition. You need to be pro-

Shepherd’s House does coordinate and conduct some services already at its Second Street nightly shelter location. It reported it’s connected 10 people with addiction treatment programs, 23 people to supportive housing and assisted living and reconnected 15 to private housing since October. Still, as an overnight shelter with little permanency, it’s been a challenge connecting people to resources from there.

“Because there’s no daytime use, there hasn’t been an opportunity to have folks there during the day. It’s really difficult for service providers to come into that space and use that space as a hub of service, which is what we’re trying to do,” Fraley said. “They have been focused on giving people a meal and a safe place to stay overnight.”

Shepherd’s House’s facility on Second Street will need a commercial kitchen and additional showers to fit under the definition of a navigation center, which would necessitate a sewer water pipe upgrade. It’s

—AMY FRALEY viding daytime services for families and individuals that are connecting people with public benefit with resources for permanent housing,” said Amy Fraley, affordable housing coordinator for the City of Bend.

Ideally navigation centers include case management, behavior and physical health referrals, addiction services or referrals, daily meals and ways to obtain documents helpful for getting re-housed, such as state IDs and social security cards. The City put out a Request for Qualifications in December 2021 to gauge interest and ability of local service providers.

“We all had an opportunity to really sit down and understand what people were comfortable doing and what they wanted to do. Do some interviews, and then with that we issued the RFP in November of 2021. We did a pre submittal public meeting in December. And then by the time we got to the actual submission deadline, we only had Shepherd’s House that wanted to move forward, which made a lot of sense,” Fraley said.

expected to have 24/7 staffing, services and continued participation in the homeless management information system by June 30. Once that’s completed Shepherd’s House will focus on the over 400 people who’ve already stayed with them before expanding to serve a broader population in 2023 that goes beyond shelter guests.

“Walk up services is one area that was discussed so that people could, instead of having to be a shelter guests, they might just need some basic assistance, or referrals for something like getting a Social Security Card or a license or some housing vouchers or a variety of other services that don’t require that person to necessarily be part of being in the shelter itself overnight,” Notari said.

The City will contribute just under $1.3 million a year for the project and $46,400 in startup costs taken from its general fund and from American Rescue Act funds. The City can renew the contract for up to two

two-year contracts after the first three years. Another state initiative targeted on homeless is the coordinated response office, sponsored by Bend’s representative in Salem, Rep. Jason Kropf.

Joint Office

The Oregon legislature also sent $1 million to eight Oregon counties, including Deschutes, to form coordinated response offices for houselessness. Each office would include an advisory board, and the counties are expected to develop a fiveyear plan to increase or improve services, incorporate best practice while eliminating racial disparities and creating paths to permanent housing.

“The goal of this is to provide some money so our cities and counties can start a joint office, can work with our community partners, have an overall vision and strategic plan in a community where we’re working on this, that hopefully, this will accelerate that,” Kropf said.

Prior to this concept the Homeless Leadership Coalition filled the role of a county wide office that works with different service providers in the tri-county area — including Crook and Jefferson counties. The Emergency Homeless Task Force is also something of a precursor to the coordinated response office that brought together service providers in the county and Bend to identify opportunities for greater care and to develop action toward ending homelessness. The coordinated office, however, could be the first to incorporate all Central Oregon municipalities.

“I hope that each of the cities will be a full partner and full participant in the coordinated office,” Deschutes County Commissioner Phil Chang said. “One of the jobs of the coordinating office is to produce a strategic plan. If the people who participate in this new effort—the coordinated response office—basically, the strategic plan that was produced by the Emergency Homelessness Task Force, then we can spend less time planning and more time doing.”

County officials met with the Redmond City Council on March 15 to begin the collaborative process, and with the Sisters City Council on March 9. Chang said he’s seen a difference in how different municipalities are addressing the issue of houselessness. Whereas Bend is aggressively looking to increase the number of shelter beds and services for the unhoused, cities with less visible houseless populations aren’t as likely to fund shelters. In September, Redmond tabled a proposal to fund a homeless shelter with American Rescue Plan Act funds, and Chang said Sisters has been hesitant to add additional houseless facilities.

“It’s quite possible that we should be dealing with these issues differently from community to community,” Chang said. “It’s probably a better idea to think about providing a central location on a regional basis. So the services and facilities that we provide, these should look different across the county, but my hope is that all of the jurisdictions will come to the discussion excited to create the facilities that we

need regionally. Even if that means there are certain kinds of facilities that it doesn’t make sense to create in every city and county.”

Whereas Bend is aggressively looking to increase the number of shelter beds and services for the unhoused, cities with less visible houseless populations aren’t as likely to fund shelters.

MOsley WOtta celebrates his latest album with two special performances

By Isaac Biehl

I

n the year-by-year pantheon of culture, we have collectively heard repeatedly over the last few years how each was respectively poor for different reasons for different people; how things needed to be made great again, or how things may have never been so great to begin with.

On Jason Graham’s latest album under the MOsley WOtta moniker, the rapp e r/ a r t i s t doesn’t want to scapegoat time any longer.

Graham leaves the door open for interpretation on the eight-track album, “It’s Not The Year, It’s You." “Starting with 2020, I began to realize that there were dates that were very significant for us as human beings,” Graham tells the Source. “2020 was such a year for us. It changed so much drastically. Then 2021 came, and the same issues were still there or intensified in some cases. Then 2022, and on and on and on. At some point it was less about these numbers that became accursed—that it’s not the fault of the year. It invites a question around, ‘what is my individual contribution to the community?’ and ‘what is my community’s contribution to me?’”

Graham tasked himself with finding the truths of human nature that we all face.

“The album is doing a lot to lean into places of paradox where you usually find truth. To be alive is to die, to die is to live, those kinds of things. It’s an invitation to investigate the variety of ecosystems we are in a relationship with.”

Running eight tracks in 22 minutes, Graham tackles daunting plots.

The album’s opener is a personal essay on dealing with mental health titled, “Jason’s Cut,” where we get a deeper look into the mind of MoWo. “Fresh Water Bottle” is a commentary on the faulty structure of government and protest culture. On “Where I’m From,” Graham is reckoning with looks and prejudice from others while being

Black in America and how the idea of isolation is scary for everybody.

“I think we do ourselves a disservice if we look at our labels as if they’re fixed at all times. At the end of the day your blood type and Social Security Number doesn’t really explain who you are,” says Graham of the passionate “Where I’m From.”

“We are all natives to some place and we are all immigrants from some place. I look at it like, your brothers and sisters were here before you, but there was something there before them, too. We are transient species that move from one place to another.

The reality of folks who have generationally not even been here for a full two centuries, who are looking at you, as if you are the alien. Many of us are no longer just from one straight line bloodline.”

With the help of Jesse Locke of Unlocked Films and producer/musician Colten Tyler Williams, “It’s Not The Year, It’s You” becomes a visual and communal experience. Using cell by cell animations, original and sourced footage, the backdrop to touring this album will be special and unique every night with its changing pieces of light, instrumentation and the conversation that comes during and after the show.

MOsley WOtta hosts two nights of the experience on March 24 and 25.

“This isn’t a place to come at and get yelled at. This isn’t just, ‘white folks sit down and listen how you f*cked up.’ I don’t see the point in that anymore. We’re going through all of this so we don’t have to focus on us so much.

We’re still caught up on like, identity prejudice. We’ve got to get through this as opposed to getting over it.”

C

ho knew… the last week of March is National Cleaning Week? Get out your brooms, stock up on elbow grease. Spring cleaning time is here! Whose idea was this? Apparently, everyone’s.

Regardless of religion, culture or climate, the sweet air of spring has always prompted us to clean up our houses and our acts, to ready for the fresh starts implicit in the season. Since the 11th century CE, the Iranian New Year or Nowruz has been observed on the March equinox and includes the practice of khaneh tekani or “shaking the house”— cleaning from ceiling to floor to ready for the new year. In the 13th century BCE, at the moment of their frantic escape into the desert, there was no time for the Israelites to let their bread rise, only, to use current vernacular, “Grab and Go.” Now, even one morsel of leavened bread (chametz) in the home during Passover week is prohibited out of respect of the Jews’ flight from Egyptian slavery— houses vigorously scrubbed to make sure there are no overlooked crumbs.

Eastern Orthodox traditions begin the first week of the spring Lenten season in March with Clean Week during which the faithful scour their houses and, through confession, their consciences.

Catholics and Protestants observe similar rituals. In the 19th century, before vacuum cleaners were invented, the warm and blustery winds of March were recruited to blow winter’s accumulation of dust out of northern households— windows flung open wide after the long, dark, dank months of cold.

But cleaning and organizing has exceeded the bounds of seasonal,

Shaking the House

By Ellen Waterston

cultural or religious practices. There’s money in them thar cluttered cupboards and minds, from California Closets to meditation retreats. Marie Kondo’s 2011 book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” had every 30- and 40-something throwing out baby and bath water.

Her litmus?

“Discard anything that doesn’t spark joy.” The Japanese author credits the Shinto religion as inspiration.

“Cleaning and organizing things properly can be a spiritual practice in Shintoism, which is concerned with the energy or divine spirit of things and the right way to live.”

Referred to as “the Marie Kondo of death,” an advocate of elders getting things in order sooner rather than later is Swedish author and grandmother Margarita Magnusson, her stated age “somewhere between 80 and 100.” Her debut book, “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Make Your Loved Ones’ Lives Easier and Your Own More Pleasant,” resulted from the painful process of sorting through 48 years’worth of marriage after her husband died. Building on the Swedish concept of döstädning, literally “death cleaning” or getting things in order before you die, Magnusson urges readers to get off their duffs and start the process at age 65 or before. As Michael Stevens, the founder of the Natural Mind Dharma Center in Bend, says, “Don’t put off death until the last minute.”

I have definitely benefitted from Margarita and Marie’s advice, but caution that too much of a good cleaning-up-and-cleaning-out thing can have its downside, leaving your house

or apartment feeling more like a hotel room or designer décor store. Leached of the uniqueness of those who live there, a home is reduced to a house, lacking in a different Scandinavian concept: hygge, the Danish and Norwegian word for coziness, contentment. Think of homemade brownies, hugs, crocheted throws, cozy slippers, picnics by the river. Personally, I like feeling (figuratively) wrapped in familiar knick-knacks, photos, books, even the errant dusty sill or cobweb. I have experienced seller’s remorse after yard sales too hastily organized when a move was on the horizon. Now I am more careful. So, I confess, my garage boasts its fair share of boxes and bins, my closet is jealous of its prized oldies and not-so-goodies.

Who knows? Maybe children would get to know more about their parents and, more importantly, about themselves

going through old mementos and photos, slipping on a father’s red wool cap with ear flaps, a mother’s pair of outrageous bell bottoms.

This time last year I had many more boxes lining my garage walls. I wish I could credit the delirium of early spring for snapping me out of my decluttering denial. But it came later. In May. That was the month Oregon was hit with the first of the many devastating forest fires of 2021. Things sorted and cleanly in place is as much about living, about survival, as it is about readying for the final farewell. It’s about having that Grab and Go box ready in case of an emergency exit...at any age. I’m overcome watching Ukrainians, the young and the old, forced to flee their burning homes, with no time to wait for the bread to rise, no window to open to spring’s sweet promise, no time to grab, only to go.

Ramen Tactics Your first choice is which brand and flavor of ramen to use. The original Top Ramen, made by Momofuko’s Nissin corporation, is no longer the best. I believe the highest quality instant ramen these days comes from South Korea—my favorite being Nongshim brand.

Of those, I like the Neoguri spicy seafood and Shin spicy beef.

Ideally, I like to have the following additional ingredients on hand: • Bacon, tofu or other proteins like fake crab, leftover BBQ, frozen shrimp or scallops • Fresh veggies like spinach, broccoli, radish • An egg or two • Fresh herbs like cilantro and green onion • Condiments like hoisin, hot sauce, vinegar, mayo, minced garlic, etc.

I add the flavor packet, or packets, to the cold water as soon as I turn on the heat. I add the noodles soon after—I don’t see the need to wait. I’ll add my proteins right off the bat, too. Ramen is pretty much the only context I can think of where soggy bacon is acceptable, as it resembles the floating slice of soft pork in a bowl of high-end tonkatsu ramen. Ideally the bacon is mild flavored, so it won’t take over the soup. Rather, it should be subtle and satisfying, and make you happy when you chew it.

The egg should be soft and runny, but not gooey. I crack the egg into a bowl first, so I can then simply pour it exactly where I want it, and don’t have to worry about breaking the yolk. When the noodles are starting to fall apart, I add the spinach directly on top of them to form a nest of noodles and leaves to cradle the egg when I pour it into the nest. Sometimes I use a spoon to support the nest from underneath for the first few crucial moments after adding the egg, giving it a chance to grab onto the nest materials and solidify. If using minced garlic as a garnish, you can add it now or a little bit later, depending on your tolerance.

While the egg is cooking, add the chopped white parts of the green onion to the pot. Save the green parts to add with the cilantro.

If your timing is right, the noodles and egg reach their ideal states at the same time. Serve by carefully scooping the noodles, veggies and proteins into a bowl, and pouring the broth over the noodles. Next, add the cilantro and green onion leaves. Fine tune your bowl of noodles with your condiments.

New Sushi Cart at The Lot

Bendites can find a new sushi cart located on the west side. The Lot is now home to Maki Maki Sushi, owned by sushi chef Adam Pan and his wife Shi, who’s also a sushi chef. The couple moved to Bend after operating their own sushi restaurant in New York, and later operating supermarket sushi franchises in Oregon. The couple moved to Bend in 2021 and opened the sushi cart at The Lot earlier this year. Menu items include a full complement of sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi, as well as poke and appetizers including scallion pancakes, tempura, gyoza and tempura fried jalapeno poppers. The Lot is located at 745 NW Columbia Street in Bend.

Bend Izakaya Ronin Open for Dining In

After a successful run as a food cart, Bend Izakaya Ronin opened the doors of its brick-and-mortar restaurant in the Century Center not long before the pandemic—tough timing for a place plenty of Bendites were clamoring to go. The restaurant has been open for dine-in at times throughout the pandemic, with staffing concerns and pandemic restrictions also requiring it to go take-out only at some points. Earlier this month, however, Ronin opened once again for dine-in, offering Japanese izakaya food and a limited sushi menu. Reservations are required; the restaurant is not taking walk-ins. New chefs are also on board, including Ian Skomski of Kusshi NW and Shemaira Watterson, formerly of 5 Fusion, according to Ronin’s Facebook page.

Ronin is currently open Friday through Monday for dinner.

nstant ramen noodles have replaced cigarettes as the reserve currency of the incarcerated. They are available at most prison commissaries for about 60 cents each, providing you have money in your account. Inmates convert their dollars to ramen the way speculators pile into the latest cryptocurrency, and trade the packages of crispy noodles for clothes, drugs, bribes, favors, and anything else of value. Unlike crypto, instant ramen is a real, physical thing that you can hold in your hand. It’s durable, portable, divisible into units, can be neatly stacked, and has intrinsic value because of its calories and flavor – both of which are scarce in most prison meals.

“You gotta have ramen,” writes Gustavo Alvarez, author of the Prison Ramen Cookbook. His instant ramen-based recipes include the likes of the Prison Burrito, Prison Tamale, Ramen Salad, Ramen Sandwich, and Orange Cracklin Ramen (with pork rinds and orange Kool-Aid).

Like every other ramen chef on the planet, I too have my tricks and techniques for using ramen as an ingredient in something greater. We’ll get there in a moment. But first let’s first review some ramen history, some of which rhymes with today’s news.

Instant ramen noodles were invented in the wake of the second World War. Most of Japan’s cities had been bombed. Its infrastructure was wasted, and winter was coming. As the U.S. sent boatloads of wheat to its vanquished adversary, Japan’s ministry of health struggled to encourage bread baking. That’s when a Taiwainese-born Japanese citizen named Ando Momofuko began trying to invent instant ramen. Momofuko finally came up with the technique of flash-frying fresh noodles in hot oil, which caused perforations in the dehydrated noodles that allowed them to rehydrate quickly. The debut of Chikin Ramen in August 1958, ushered in a new era of customizable high-calorie convenience.

“The genesis of instant noodles marked a turning point in Japan’s history, mirroring its rise from a struggling nation to a modern economic powerhouse,” writes Celia Hatton for the BBC. “They came of age when Japanese households were filling up with new products. Electric kettles made it easy to cook instant noodles, commercials for which were broadcast into newly middle-class homes on brand-new televisions. In 1956, only one per cent of Japanese households had a TV. Four years later, almost half had one.” Ramen has repeatedly been voted the nation’s most successful invention, ahead of highspeed trains, laptops and LED lights, Hatton adds.

Hatton credits instant ramen with helping fuel three decades of growth in China, the world’s largest market for instant ramen. Demand is highest among migrant workers who’ve left their homes in the countryside to work in the country’s factories and cities, she writes.

With the Ukraine war raging and wheat prices rising, the cost of ramen will probably climb. For most of us, especially those under attack, it’s the least of our worries. But inflation being the beast it is, the most vulnerable will feel the squeeze hardest—none worse than prison inmates earning sub-minimum wage. But if we need a reminder that light will follow darkness, look no further than ramen itself. It came from Japan being bombed and nuked to near-oblivion and helped fuel its rebound. Momofuko, who lived to be 96, attributed his health to daily servings of Chikin Ramen. It’s a viable path forward.

Lately, when making ramen, I have been channeling southeast Asian-style noodle soups like pho. These brothy soups are typically served alongside a mount of fresh herbs and vegetables, to be heaped into the soup at the last minute. I also keep condiments like vinegar, hot sauce and hoisin sauce within reach.

SCREEN Pats on the Back for Everyone

T

Jared predicts the Oscar winners

By Jared Rasic

here’s a reason why the ratings for the Oscars have kept going down over the last few years. A lot of that has• to do with the fact that critics and audiences rarely agree on what constitutes a great film anymore. Just pick any movie on Rotten Tomatoes and compare the critics’ score with the audience one to see how wildly they differ. I don’t think the average audience member wants to tune into something where they think the winners are wildly out of touch with what movies are actually popular with filmgoers.

So this year, I’m breaking my predictions down into two categories: what I think will win and what I think should win. Let’s see how closely they align. Play at home if you’re so inclined!

Courtesy of Netflix

Best Production Design: • “Dune” • “The Tragedy of Macbeth” • “West Side Story” • “Nightmare Alley” • “The Power of the Dog” What Should Win: The sets in “Nightmare Alley” are breathtaking, What Will Win: “West Side Story” just looks so good that it’s going to take this.

Best Editing: • “The Power of the Dog” • “Don’t Look Up” • “Dune” • “King Richard” • “Tic, Tic…Boom” What Should Win: “Dune” teaches a masterclass on taking massive source material and whittling it down to its essence.

What Will Win: “The Power of the Dog” because it has the momentum.

"Don't Look Up" nominated for Best Picture.

Best Visual Effects • “Spider-Man: No Way Home” • “Dune” • “Free Guy” • “No Time to Die” • “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” What Should Win: “Dune”- The effects team built a world unlike any seen before.

What Will Win: “Dune”- The work is just too strong to ignore, but the popularity of “Spider-Man” could possibly give it a leg up.

Best Live-Action Short: • “Ala Kachuu- Take and Run” • “The Dress” • “The Long Goodbye” • “On My Mind” • “Please Hold” What Should Win: “On My Mind” is such a lovely short that I’m just rooting for its good-natured meditation on loss.

What Will Win: “Take and Run” is topical and important, which means the timing on it will probably give it the win.

Best Animated Short Film: • “Affairs of the Art” • “Bestia” • “Boxballet” • “Robin Robin” • “The Windshield Wiper” What Should Win: “Boxballet” is a gorgeous little love story, but it’s from Russia which makes me think it doesn’t stand a chance.

What Will Win: “Robin Robin” is a crowd pleaser and is the most polished with stunning stop-motion animation.

Best Documentary Short Film: • “Audible” • “Lead Me Home” • “The Queen of Basketball” • “Three Songs for Benazir” • “When We Were Bullies”

What Should Win: I would be happy with either “Audible” or “Lead Me Home” to win, but I’m giving the edge to “Lead Me Home” because of the raw and unsentimental tone as it looks at the homelessness epidemic.

What Will Win: “Audible” is one of the most gorgeously produced docs I’ve ever seen, which could put it in the lead.

Best Documentary: • “Flee” • “Summer of Soul” • “Attica” • “Writing With Fire” • “Ascension” What Should Win: “Flee” is unforgettable and an important look at the immigrant experience.

What Will Win: “I think “Flee” has this, but “Summer of Soul” is such a miraculous discovery that I couldn’t be upset if Questlove took home a statue.

Best Makeup And Hairstyling: • “Dune” • “Coming 2 America” • “Cruella” • “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” • “House of Gucci” What Should Win: I don’t mean to beat the drum too hard on “Dune,” but there’s some next-level makeup work in that film.

What Will Win: “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” makes Jessica Chastain almost unrecognizable, which voters love.

Best Costume Design: • “Cruella” • “Dune” • “Cyrano” • “Nightmare Alley” • “West Side Story” What Should Win: “Dune” creates entire worlds, cultures and belief structures with its costuming.

What Will Win: I wouldn’t be surprised if “Cruella” took this because the costumes are astounding, but I have a feeling “West Side Story” has it on lock.

Best International Film: • “Drive My Car” • “Flee” • “The Hand of God” • “Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom” • “The Worst Person in the World” What Should Win: “Drive My Car” is a masterpiece and only gets better with subsequent viewings.

What Will Win: “Drive My Car” has this locked.

Best Original Song: • “Be Alive” from “King Richard” • “Dos Oruguitas” from “Encanto” • “Down to Joy” from “Belfast” • “No Time to Die” from “No Time to Die” • “Somehow You Do” from “Four Good Days” What Should Win: I personally absolutely love Billie Eilish’s Bond theme song, but I’m in the minority.

What Will Win: “Encanto” is in the business of earworms.

Best Sound: • “West Side Story” • “Dune” • “Belfast” • “No Time to Die” • “The Power of the Dog” What Should Win: “Dune” has sounds in it I’ve never heard before.

What Will Win: “West Side Story” will take this because Academy voters love a musical.

Best Original Score: • “Don’t Look Up” • “Dune” • “Encanto” • “Parallel Mothers” • “The Power of the Dog” What Should Win: “The Power of the Dog’s” score sets the tone for the entire film.

What Will Win: “Encanto” might have this, but the score in “Dog” is just so damn good.

Best Animated Film: • “Encanto” • “Flee” • “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” • “Luca” • “Raya and the Last Dragon” What Should Win: “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” is my personal favorite animated film of the year. Funny, heartfelt and everything in between.

What Will Win: “Encanto” has this without question, but it would be nice if “Flee” got the upset.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic  Your friendly local film reviewer’s takes on what’s out there in the world of movies.

Best Actress: • Nicole Kidman for “Being the Ricardos” • Jessica Chastain for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” • Olivia Colman for “The Lost Daughter” • Penelope Cruz for “Parallel Mothers” • Kristen Stewart for “Spencer” Who Should Win: Colman absolutely destroyed me in “The Lost Daughter,” but she’s always incredible.

Who Will Win: Chastain disappears under makeup in “Tammy Faye” and the voters love it when that happens.

Best Picture: • “Belfast” • “CODA” SEE THE • ”Don’t Look Up” WHOLE LINE• “Drive My Car” • “Dune” UP ONLINE • “King Richard” bendsource.com/ bend/screen • “Licorice Pizza” • “Nightmare Alley” • “The Power of the Dog” • “West Side Story” What Should Win: Of the available choices, “Drive My Car” is kinda inarguably the best picture of the year.

What Will Win: “The Power of the Dog” has been winning all the awards, so there’s no reason to think the Oscars will be any different.

Best Cinematography: • “Dune” • “West Side Story” • “Nightmare Alley” • “The Power of the Dog” • “The Tragedy of Macbeth” What Should Win: “Macbeth” and “Dune” both do astounding things with shadow and color.

What Will Win: “West Side Story” looks like a timeless piece of cinema, so this might have it.

"X" is not the typical '70s porno film that you might expect.

2022 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS: ANIMATED: The first two shorts are for all ages and the following three

are most decidedly not, so parents beware, these are very twisted and graphic animated shorts. They’re also all pretty fantastic. Tin Pan Theater

2022 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS: DOCUMENTARY: As usual, the documentary block of shorts is the most brutal of the three, but the one called “The Queen of Basketball” is an inspiring and life-affirming thing of beauty. Tin Pan Theater

2022 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS: LIVE ACTION: A very dark and heavy selection of shorts from around the world. The one with Riz Ahmed is a stone classic. Tin Pan Theater THE BATMAN: I’ve always wanted a “Batman” movie that felt like “Seven” or “Zodiac,” so count me as excited that we finally get to see the World’s Greatest Detective doing some detecting. This is by far the darkest “Batman” flick ever, so that combined with the three-hour runtime might extend this entry in the forever franchise to adults only. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins BEING THE RICARDOS: Following a week in the life of Lucy and Desi, this dramedy from the mind behind “The West Wing” and “The Newsroom” captures the spirit of what made them such fascinating people. Nicole Kidman looks nothing like Lucille Ball, but she still manages to find the essence of the legend. Tin Pan Theater

DEATH ON THE NILE: Following Kenneth Branagh’s Belgian detective Hercule Poirot from the Orient Express to Egypt as he tries to solve another murder mystery. This is one of the last pandemic-delayed films to finally get its release, several years now after its filming. It’s been so long since this was shot that star Armie Hammer has been canceled for over a year already. Regal Old Mill

DOG: Why yes, I would like to see Channing Tatum play with a dog for two hours, thank you very much. Regal Old Mill INFINITE STORM: Naomi Watts plays an experienced climber who turns back from an ascension of Mount Washington only to find a stranded young man on her way down that she decided to try and help back down the mountain. Watch this one loud while splashing ice in your face and you’ll feel like you are there. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House JACKASS FOREVER: I know, it’s all very dumb and juvenile, but I’m there for absolutely every second of it.

Johnny Knoxville and his friends destroy themselves physically and mentally for us on camera so we can go into the theater and feel some catharsis for 90 minutes. Regal Old Mill

THE LOST CITY: The combination of Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt in a romantic adventure along the lines of "Romancing the Stone" means I’m there for it. When Tatum leans into big, dumb and goofy, he’s a damn riot and Pitt’s flowing hair and swarthy heroics make this look like a blast. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub NEW WORLDS: THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION: Chronicles the final show in Bill Murray and Jan Vogler’s “New Worlds” tour in Athens, Greece. I had no idea Murray was such a talented musician, so this documentary was as eye-opening as it was entertaining. Tin Pan Theater THE OUTFIT: Mark Rylance stars in this mystery/thriller following a mild-mannered tailor who gets in over his head with some gangsters. This is one of those movies that they say, “they don’t make ‘em like this anymore,” so maybe if enough people go see it, they’ll start making them again or something. Regal Old Mill, Sisters Movie House SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME: I wonder if I’ll ever get bored with “Spider-Man” movies. Based on how much I loved this one, all signs point to no. Thwip. Regal Old Mill

UNCHARTED: What if Tom Hanks from “The DaVinci Code” murdered people and was good at climbing? Regal Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub

THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: A beautifully written romantic drama focused on a young woman going through indecisiveness and confusion in her relationships and career. That might sound dry, but this Norwegian insta-classic is deeply incisive, slyly funny and sneakily moving. Tin Pan Theater X: A group of filmmakers head to a cabin in the woods in the ’70s to film a porno and horrible things happen.

A fantastic ”The Power of the Dog" leads the pack in Oscar noms.

This is from director Ti West who knows how to deconstruct a genre better than most, so expect this to be an intelligent and intense horror flick with some solid acting and gory goodness. Regal Old Mill, Tin Pan Theater

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 12 / MARCH 24, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Best Actor: • Javier Bardem for “Being the Ricardos” • Benedict Cumberbatch for “The Power of the Dog” • Will Smith for “King Richard” • Andrew Garfield for “Tic, Tic…Boom” • Denzel Washington for “The Tragedy of Macbeth” Who Should Win: Cumberbatch is chameleonic, but Will Smith does some truly amazing work.

Who Will Win: It’s Smith’s turn for an Oscar, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Bandersnatch crept in and won it.

OUTSIDE Early Spring Wildflowers to Welcome

GO HERE

With fickle weather, the only sure sign that spring is really here is the arrival of colorful flowers

Cou rte sy

the bulbs, deer and elk the leaves. Yellow bells typically emerge after the goldfields have arrived. Blooms: Flowers are 7/8” long and can be yellow to brownish-orange. Blooms March-April.

Prairie star (Lithophragma parviflorum): This early bloomer has a delicate, white to lavender-pink, irregular flower atop a slender red stem. Found in sagebrush flats to pine forests. Flowers have five petals that are 1/4” long atop a 4-12” tall stem.

Blooms: April- May. Spreading phlox (Phlox diffusa): Low-growing wildflower that prefers rocky crevices and exposed locations. Flowers have five pink-purplewhite petals that create a mass of color.

Phlox is adapted to extreme environments, cushion-like plants like phlox often have taproots 8-15’ deep!

Sagebrush buttercup (Ranunculus glaberrimus): These bright yellow flowers are found in sagebrush flats to pine forests and grow in small clumps. The flowers have five petals that are 1/2” long atop a single stem and turn white with age. Petals are glossy, often looking wet with dew. Blooms: March-early summer.

Come May, the wildflowers start to get bolder. Dime-size flowers give way to half-dollar ones: sand lilies, larkspur, buckwheat. Then, we can revel in the showy guys that will signal the arrival of summer: lupine, balsamroot and paintbrush. Now is the time to get out and soak in these blooms! These tiny little yellows, pinks and purples will only last for so long.

Spring in the high desert is a mercurial thing: sun and warm temperatures one day, followed by snow and sleet the next. The only sure sign that spring is really here is the arrival of wildflowers! Central Oregon, with its deserts and high mountain meadows, is chock full of wildflowers and a nice long season (March-August) to explore them all.

March and April are the season for early spring wildflowers—those first bursts of color that dot the landscape. Look for these in our sagebrush grasslands where the snow melts first and the soil has warmed enough to encourage new growth.

At first glance it may not seem like there is much blooming; early spring is the season for small (think dime-sized or smaller) flowers rather than the showy, large blooms (like balsamroot) that come with late spring and summer. But look carefully, and be rewarded with tiny pops of color that shout spring and bring smiles to faces. Here are five early spring flowers to keep an eye out for this season: Goldfields (Crocidium multicaule): One of our very first wildflowers of the season! You’ll find these dime-size flowers in shallow rocky soil and under juniper trees in sagebrush grasslands.

In good years, they will literally form a golden carpet and you can watch their bright yellow heads follow the sun’s path. Single yellow flower with eight rays ¼-1/2” long on a delicate stem up to 6” tall. Blooms: MarchApril.

Yellow bell (Frittillaria pudica): Another early bloomer, these beautiful yellow, pendant-shaped lilies can be found in grasslands to pine forest. Its leaves are grasslike, and its bulbs are a food source for Native American tribes.

Volunteers gear up for a night of building trails.

Rock N Roll All Night, Trail Build Every Day With thoughts of spring comes an eagerness to bust the bike out and hit the trails. After a lackluster winter trails have been primed for a while, but trail traffic is going to increase.

One organization that maintains Central Oregon’s trails year-round is Central Oregon Trail Alliance. COTA has worked to build a robust mountain biking community in Central Oregon for three decades. Without COTA’s help some of the most popular trails in the area wouldn’t exist (think Phil’s Trail and the Wagnoga Complex, among many others). COTA been working to promote trail stewardship during this time, with the Rock 'n' Roll events adding to this history.

Every Tuesday COTA hosts after work trail maintenance programs to ensure riders keep flowing smoothly. “We separate into different roles depending on the task but we all work as a team to make a better trail” Bob Gilbert, the Redmond COTA representative, says. The event is a group effort with the rewards of providing a better trail for the community. The group beer afterwards helps, too.

If unable to make it out to volunteer, keep in mind early trail season etiquette. Gilbert advises: “Share the trail and watch for other users. Be polite, pack it in and pack it out, avoid muddy trails if possible but also don’t go around the puddles. Keep single track single. Trail Karma.”

Volunteers will meet at the Cline Butte staging area at 5pm with the event lasting a few hours.

Is That Weed Even Legal?

A new website aims to help locals figure that out

Cops seized over 9,000 plants in a raid at an unauthorized grow in Alfalfa in September.

Maybe your neighbor has a few smelly plants and you want to know if there’s something you can do about it.

Maybe your neighbor is a farmer who has a field of what looks like marijuana—but you’re not sure how to tell whether it’s hemp—which is federally legal—or the stuff people smoke to get high. Or maybe you’re actually witnessing some activity that smacks of organized crime. All of the above scenarios have happened in Central Oregon—yet for those not entirely clued into the culture of cannabis, it can be tough to discern what’s legal and what’s not.

That’s why a team of local authorities has recently launched a website called “Cannafacts,” helping people in Deschutes County sort out what’s what, and where to go if there’s actual illegal activity going on. The site, launched in early March, is a project of the Deschutes County Illegal Marijuana Market Enforcement team, made up of people from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, Bend Police and the office of Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel.

Recreational cannabis became legal in Oregon in 2015—and in the years since, there’s been plenty of confusion about the rules.

“Many community members have incorrectly assumed that when cannabis became legal that all cannabis activity was legalized,” described a press release from the team. “Others have assumed that any unusual or suspicious cannabis activity should be reported to 911. Neither of those assumptions are accurate.”

The new website is aimed at addressing some of the misinformation about cannabis out there, as well as giving people resources to follow up if they do encounter a potentially illegal

situation. The site includes a “FAQ” section, a decision tree to help people determine what may be a legal versus illegal operation and a portal allowing people to submit leads. The goal, Hummel said, is to help law enforcement find and prosecute large-scale illegal operations.

“Are we spending money to stop a legal activity? No,” Hummel stated.

“As a supporter of decriminalization of marijuana, know that I am not out for the person who is growing five versus four plants.”

Under Oregon’s recreational law, the average person (who doesn’t own a legal growing operation) may grow up to four plants on their private property.

“The goal of our enforcement team is to end large scale illegal operations that too often are run by cartels, use banned pesticides, steal water rights, require workers to live and work in inhumane conditions and undercut legal marijuana business in Deschutes County,” Hummel stated.

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office busted a 30-acre illegal grow in Alfalfa last September—seizing over 9,000 plants and discovering the presence of some workers from Mexico who were reportedly working off debts to the people who ran the operation. In Southern Oregon, the proliferation of illegal grows prompted Jackson County to declare a state of emergency last fall.

During its special session in December, the Oregon legislature allocated $25 million to combat illegal marijuana grow sites, with $5 million going toward the protection of water rights and the rest establishing a grant program for law enforcement agencies and aiding exploited migrant workers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1904, it wasn’t illegal to use performance-enhancing drugs during Olympic competitions. Runner Thomas Hicks took advantage of this in the marathon race. The poison strychnine, which in small doses serves as a stimulant, was one of his boosters. Another was brandy. By the time he approached the finish line, he was hallucinating and stumbling. His trainers carried him the rest of the way, and he was declared the winner. I recommend you make him your inspirational role model in the coming weeks. How might you cheat to gain a great victory? APRIL FOOL! I Lied. While it’s true that a meaningful triumph is within your reach, you’re most likely to achieve it by acting with total integrity, following the rules, and imbibing no stimulating poisons.

aficionado Wil Wheaton suggests that all of us should have the following: 1. a nemesis; 2. an evil twin; 3. a secret headquarters; 4. an escape hatch; 5. a partner in crime; 6. a secret identity.

Dear Taurus, I have doubts that you possess any of these necessities. Please embark on intensive efforts to acquire all of them. Your deadline is April 21. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. There’s no way you could add all those things to your repertoire in such a short time. See if you can at least get a secret identity and a partner in crime. It’s time to have wicked fun as you add to your potency and effectiveness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I hate being on my best behavior,” wrote Gemini author Colleen McCullough. “It brings out the absolute worst in me.”

In the coming weeks, I hope you avoid the danger she describes. Don’t be on your best behavior! Emulate Gemini filmmaker Clint Eastwood, who said, “I tried being reasonable, but I didn’t like it.” APRIL FOOL! I lied. Here’s the real truth: Being kind and generous and reasonable will be your secret weapon in the next three weeks. Doing so will empower you to make interesting and unforeseen progress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A Tumblr blogger named Alyssa complains, “I’m still peeved that I can’t fly or set things on fire with my mind.” You might share that feeling, Cancerian. But here’s the good news: I predict that you could soon acquire, at least temporarily, the power to fly and set things on fire with your mind. Use these talents wisely, please! APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, you probably won’t be able to fly or set things on fire with your mind anytime soon. However, you may acquire other superpowers that are only slightly less fantastic. For example, you could change the mind of an ally who has been ridiculously stubborn. You could uncover a big secret that has been hidden.

You could mend a wound you thought would never heal. Any other superpowers you need right now?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I suspect that only a Leo would say what Leo filmmaker Stanley Kubrick once asserted: “You know, it’s not absolutely true in every case that nobody likes a smart ass.” In accordance with astrological omens, I authorize you to prove his assertion. Be the kind of smart ass that people like. APRIL FOOL! I’m half-joking. The truth is, I hope you will be the kind of smart ass that people absolutely adore and get inspired by.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In honor of your arrival in the most lyrical and soulful phase of your cycle, I offer you advice from poet Richard Jackson: “The secret is to paint your own numbers on the clock, to brush away those webs that cover the wild country of the soul, to let your star hover between the flowers of the moon and the flowers of the sun, like words you have never spoken yet always hear.” APRIL FOOL! I partially lied. I don’t think you should paint your own numbers on the clock. But the rest of what Jackson said is totally applicable and useful for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I want excitement,” declared Libra novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, “and I don’t care what form it takes or what I pay for it,

so long as it makes my heart beat.” In the coming weeks, I hope you will make that statement your motto. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. While I do foresee you being able to gather a wealth of excitement, I hope you won’t be as extreme as Fitzgerald in your pursuit of it. There will be plenty of opportunities for excitement that won’t require you to risk loss or pay an unwelcome price.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If you can’t make fun of yourself, you don’t have a right to make fun of others,” said comedian Joan Rivers. I agree!

So if you are feeling an irresistible urge to mock people and fling sarcasm in all directions, please prepare by first mocking yourself and being sarcastic toward yourself. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I will never authorize you to make fun of others. Never!

In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll do the opposite: Dole out massive doses of praise and appreciation toward everyone. To prepare, dole out massive doses of praise and appreciation toward yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the traditional opera performed in China’s Sichuan province, magical effects were popular. One trick involved characters making rapid changes of their masks. The art was to remove an existing mask and don a new one with such speed that the audience could not detect it. An old master, Peng Denghuai, once wore 14 different masks in 24 seconds. This is an antic I think you should imitate in the coming days.

The more frequently you alter your persona and appearance, the more successful and popular you’ll be.

APRIL FOOL! I half-lied.

I recommend that you gleefully experiment with your image and exuberantly vary your self-presentation. But don’t overdo it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A nutritionist named Mark Haub decided to try losing weight by eating only sugary treats. For 10 weeks, he snacked on junk food cakes, cookies, and sweet cereals. By the end, he had lost 27 pounds. In accordance with astrological omens, I suggest you try the metaphorical equivalents of this project.

For instance, work on deepening your relationships by engaging your allies in shallow conversations about trivial subjects. Or see if you can enhance your physical fitness by confining your exercise to crossing and uncrossing your legs as you sit on the couch watching TV. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Here’s your real horoscope: For the next four weeks, take better care of your body and your relationships than you ever have before in your life.

Make it a point to educate yourself about what that would entail, and be devoted in providing the most profound nurturing you can imagine.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarius-born Giordano Bruno (1548–1600) was bravely heretical in his work as a philosopher, poet, mathematician, and friar. He angered the Catholic Church with his unorthodox views about Jesus and Mary, as well as his belief in reincarnation, his practice of occult magic, and his views that there are other stars besides our sun. Eventually, the authorities burned him at the stake for his transgressive ideas. Beware of a similar outcome for expressing your unusual qualities! APRIL FOOL! Luckily, no punishment will result if you express the rich fullness of your idiosyncrasies in the coming weeks. I’m happy about that, since I’m encouraging you to be as eccentrically yourself as you want to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Life is too complicated to accurately comprehend. There’s too much to know! It’s impossible to make truly savvy and rational decisions. Maybe the best strategy is to flip a coin or throw the dice or draw a Tarot card before doing anything. APRIL FOOL! While it’s a fact that life is too complex for our conscious minds to fully master, we have massive resources available on subconscious and superconscious levels: our deep soul and our higher self. Now is an excellent time to enhance your access to these mother lodes of intelligence.

Homework: What's the most compassionate prank you could perform.

doesn’t just come from the ears. Psychologist Carl Rogers, who used it with his therapy clients, described it as “active listening” and explained: “I hear the words, the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning, even the meaning that is below the conscious intent of the speaker.”

Listening deeply like this starts with setting aside the impulse to “win” -- to hammer another person with what you believe. Admittedly, that can be a highly successful tactic -- if you’re looking to persuade someone to bolt themselves even more tightly to their position.

Listening is a vital element of a healthy relationship -- one in which spouses accept each other’s “influence,” explains marriage researcher John Gottman. This means each spouse makes the other a “partner” in their decision-making: respecting and honoring them and their opinions and feelings. For a marriage to thrive, spouses have to “share the driver’s seat.”

For your marriage to have a chance at thriving, your wife needs to see the benefit in acting as a “we” instead of pressing forward as a “me” (with a large piece of husband-shaped luggage). The direct approach -- telling her she needs to change -- is likely to be a fail, coming off as a threat to her getting her way and thus triggering not change but rebellion. Instead, tell her how you feel. (For example: hurt, disrespected, and embarrassed that your opinions seem of no interest to her.)

This should evoke her empathy -meaning make her feel bad that you feel bad -- which could motivate her to take steps to change (which, by the way, would involve time, practice, and setbacks). Ultimately, she knows being a marital bully is way out of line -- assuming her wedding vows didn’t include: “I promise to love, honor, support, blah, blah, blah -- uh, providing my husband shuts his complainy yap about having to scale the Couch Alps whenever he wants to grab a beer out of the fridge.”

There are those of us with special abilities in certain areas. Personally, I have a multi-decade track record in two areas: as a writer and as an automotive moron. (Lift your hood and I’ll identify all the parts: “There’s that round thingie and a bunch of intestine-esque tube-y thingies...”)

Hiring me to write something (ideally for dump trucks of money) suggests you have fabulous taste and superior intelligence. Hiring me to fix your car suggests you lack the mental firepower to pick your nose without assistance.

Men and women, in general, have different spatial abilities -- in line with the sexual divisions of labor in the ancestral hunter-gatherer world: male hunters tracking and killing animals and female gatherers doing the “grocery shopping” 2 million-ish years before grocery stores.

Psychologists Irwin Silverman and Marion Eals find that women, across cultures, are vastly better than men -- even 60 or 70% better -- at “object location.” This is the ability to remember an array of objects in a setting, as well as their placement (relative to the other objects) -- basically by pulling up a mental snapshot: “Those nice berries by the cliff; poison ivy near the river -by the dead tree where I found those yummo beetle appetizers.”

Men, on the other hand, are significantly better at “mental rotation”: turning a 3-D object around in their mind and predicting how the object would fit in a certain space -- or hurtle through it. This skill allows the outfielder to catch the pop fly, but for Joe Loincloth, being ace at aiming his spear meant his family might dine on wildebeest mignon instead of mealymouthed excuses.

Granted, your wife -- like most people -- is probably not clued in to the

months ago. Whatever I suggest for the apartment -- a paint color, a bathroom fixture -- my wife immediately dismisses. For example, the living room couch she wanted was too huge for the space: a really awkward, uncomfortable fit. She kept ignoring objective facts about spatial relations -even after I pulled out a measuring tape and drew a schematic of the room. It occurred to me that her wanting it her way and ignoring my ideas are patterns in our relationship. This feels pretty bad.

wonders of evolved sex differences in spatial ability. However, you mention that her unwillingness to listen to you is a pattern in various areas of your relationship. And that’s a major problem.

Being ignored -- especially by those who matter most to us -- takes a bite out of our dignity. Contrast that with somebody giving us their attention -- their full attention (meaning listening like we’re about to tip them off on tomorrow’s winning lotto numbers). They’re telling us they respect us.

Whatever we have to say is important for them to hear.

That kind of listening

Working as a broker we get all kinds of questions, from things that a carpenter might know, to an economist, to a landscaper and everything in between. Each buyer and seller brings their own unique set of experiences and questions. Recently I have been getting questions about the surge in demand for homes both locally and nationwide. Along with the questions about demand come the questions about supply, and why inventory is so low. I am sure that some PhD students will write dissertations about the economics behind today’s real estate market, so this article will not be that. This will be more about some of the more recent happenings that have influenced our current real estate climate.

There are lots of factors at play on the demand side. When the world was introduced to COVID-19 it seemed somewhat intuitive that inventory would be constrained. With people concerned about a pandemic, most would likely choose to stay put and to not bring strangers through their homes. As summer approached more people wanted out of a rental and into something of their own. This coupled with work from home allowed people who were tied to cities/regions for their jobs to leave. People escaping metros seemed to prefer more “lifestyle” oriented towns and cities. Even prior to COVID, Bend had always been a popular place for remote workers, so this shift really impacted our local market.

The other big factor is that most millennials (born 1981-1996) have now reached the age of homeownership. Not only that, but many millennials have opted to wait ‘til later in life to purchase a home. Part of this is due to the recession that set many millennials back and scared a number away from the housing market. Now you have a glut of older millennials who stayed out of the housing market suddenly competing in a very constrained market. Now it seems a soaring housing market is impacting younger millennials and those who had stayed out of the housing market for any number of reasons. I was speaking with a friend of mine who is a lender, and they suggested that if you cut the demand for Central Oregon in half, we would still be in a very competitive market at all price points, but especially entry level (I won’t even mention prices, as they are far from “entry level”). The thing is, it is not just a local phenomenon; literally everywhere across the nation feels like “the hottest real estate market in the country.” Sure, there are less competitive markets than Bend/Redmond, but relatively speaking, demand is high everywhere and inventory remains low.

The supply side is complicated, too. The recession set back housing supply that was already significantly behind, and this issue has truly been magnified in the last few years. One of the major events of the pandemic was the lowering of interest rates, and many people took the opportunity to refinance their homes to historic rock-bottom rates. These refinances allowed homeowners to reduce their monthly payments, which then allowed them to save some money in their monthly budget.

As prices surged, homeowners had access to equity that allowed them to pull cash out of their homes to pay off debt, pay for education or perhaps purchase another property.
