on’t get me wrong; I am enjoying the arrival of spring, but when you barely get a winter, it kinda tamps down the anticipation and excitement, doesn’t it? Climate-related grief aside, this week’s issue takes some time out to celebrate things we love about spring— namely, our gardens, and the homes we’ll now endeavor to clean, spruce up and adorn with grills and flowers and lawn chairs… all the good parts about warm weather. On the home side, we take a look at what it’s really like to live in an ADU—and how they differ from tiny homes, as well as looking at the recent increase in DIY home improvement. On the garden side, we’ve got tips about planting for pollinators, the basics of beekeeping—and back in the Craft section, even a recipe from a local author who pairs flowers and cocktails. All that and more inside this Home and Garden issue!

Gerrymandering and Disenfranchisement Just Arrived In Your Mailbox WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 31, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

In the past week or so, voters around the state have received a little card in the mail—typically an innocuous reminder of one’s political party affiliation and a confirmation of the voting districts in which one resides. Simple enough, but this time around, following the most recent U.S. Census and the subsequent redistricting process, those cards require a little more review. Some voters on the northern side of Bend will find that they’re no longer voting in the race for House District 54, that “donut hole” district carved out for Bend some time ago during another redistricting process. Some of those voters will find that they now belong to House District 53, folding them in with voters in parts of Redmond… but not all of Redmond. That district, too, is changed. Now, some voters in Redmond continue to vote in House 53, while others find themselves lumped in with voters in Prineville. Some may find themselves investigating just who it is who represents them, not yet having any communication with or knowledge of that representative. It’s a similar story for our representation in the U.S. Congress. Central Oregon was once part of the massive Congressional District 2, which took up all of the real estate east of the Cascades plus Medford. Now voters in this area are part of Congressional District 5—a district that snakes a weird arm over the mountains and grabs up parts of Clackamas County. Instead of voting to determine whether we want to keep freshman Congressman Cliff Bentz in office, we’ll be among the suburban masses in the valley voting in the district currently represented by Kurt Schrader. When redistricting, state leaders are called upon to find “communities of interest” and keep them together. It’s hard to see that right now. Redistricting is supposed to balance population numbers among districts, as well as endeavor to keep communities of interest together. It’s a challenging process. Unfortunately,

What we have in Redmond, among the fastest-growing towns in Oregon, is the opposite. Redmond voters are correct to take umbrage about the failure to keep their growing area together. As it stands, the parents of kids in the very same school will be represented by different people in Salem. At the Congressional level, Central Oregonians will find themselves competing for resources against suburban Portland-area residents. One need only look to how the federal-level monies from the CARES Act were snapped up in the Portland area to see how that can play out. With the new district maps in place and the maps signed off on by the governor back in September, there’s little recourse for local residents now to ask for a change. The confusion some may be experiencing at the arrival of that little voter confirmation card this week may just be the beginning of a new and protracted exercise in voter disenfranchisement east of the Cascades. Voters here often decry the fact that the state seems to be run from its major metropolitan area; that rural and non-Portland-area residents’ voices are often drowned out. All at once, we see the population of Central Oregon growing and its influence widening—and those at the levers of power in state government appearing to do their damnedest to gerrymander their way into containing it. While we don’t share the same priorities as some of the more right-leaning voters in Central Oregon, we also recognize that disenfranchising them isn’t fair, either, and that their growing resentment may have consequences. No one was going to get everything they wanted during the redistricting process. But now that that our districts are about to vote, we have less faith in the process. We hope those voters in suburban Clackamas have our best interests at heart.

TIME TO RETIRE CONGRESSMAN KURT SCHRADER

RE: NAVIGATING THE HOUSELESS CRISIS NEWS, 3/24

Our city councilors need to start listening to their community members. Our community has weighed in on this topic of low barrier housing and shelter code amendments in which the majority of Bend citizens and taxpayers here are against. This is a non-partisan issue. This is a community issue. Our community needs a high-barrier Navigation Center here in Bend. A facility that holds the houseless accountable to take the services being offered that they need. Many do need rehab, mental health services and other social services that they are not willing to take to get themselves up off the ground and be accountable to themselves so they can integrate into our community as participating citizens. They need to have accountability and skin in the game. If they are not willing, then I feel as many others do, they need to leave Bend and figure it out somewhere else. We should not be putting any more funds into low barrier anything. And, although Second Street looks much better, feel safer for everyone, where did these people go? You can’t sweep people without high-barrier shelters and services being offered and if they don’t take that offer, then a one-way ticket out of town is in order. These sweeps damage them more and is not helping them become accountable or getting them the services they so desperately need. There should be no houseless camping allowed at all in Bend. Our community deserves better and these houseless people deserve a chance to become active participants in our world. We need our city council to start listening to our community and focus on affordable housing and proper urban development of our central district. —Nicole Perullo via bendsource.com

RE: HIGH DESERT DUELS, FEATURE, 3/10

I read the article “High Desert Duels” today and appreciate your brining the subject of Central Oregon MMA into the public’s eye. As an Oregonian raised in Bend, it’s always great to see some of my hometown’s history being told. My name is Dennis Asche. In addition to brining the first Muay Thai Kru from Thailand to Central Oregon, I promoted the first MMA events in Central Oregon (late 1990s-2000s), under various names in which my friend and then training partner JT Taylor headlined several. The first shows had a great public response. In 2001, I handed over my contacts and loaned my ring to my friend JT Taylor for him to try his hand at promoting as I left Central Oregon to find a higher level of martial arts training in what then was the Mecca of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai in the U.S., Los Angeles. I hitchhiked there with $10 in my pocket, my training gear and one change of clothes chasing a dream, which led me to living in the first Muay Thai academy established in the USA, MTA-USA in North Hollywood and training Jiu-Jitsu under Master John Machado. This leap of faith took me on a path from amateur Thai Boxer to professional MMA, to full time Jiu-Jitsu competitor, which landed me in Rio de Janeiro at the home of Brazilian jiu-jitsu founder Grand Master Helio Gracie with his son, creator of the UFC, Master Rorion Gracie. I lived there for 12 years and started the world’s first Jiu-Jitsu Hostel, Connection

Rio. After many years abroad, I returned to Central Oregon to share the knowledge I attained abroad with my hometown and full circle has brought me to where my martial arts journey began in 1984, to what was once a Kenpo Karate school. That karate school is now the home of my academy on 3rd Street. —Dennis Asche

Congressman Kurt Schrader’s close ties to the pharmaceutical and oil & gas industries are well documented. Publications including Salon, The New Republic, The Oregonian, and The Intercept have all published stories linking his vote to kill the prescription drug pricing provisions included in the Build Back Better Act to the more than $600,000 in donations he has received from Big Pharma since 2009 when he was first elected to Congress. Roll Call recently revealed that a group of 14 political action committees representing oil & gas companies increased their contributions in 2021 to Congressman Schrader and other House Democrats that worked to weaken climate-related provisions in the BBB. What is more shocking than Congressman Schrader accepting millions in contributions from companies/industries that have an interest in his work on the Energy & Commerce Committee is that he routinely trades stock in those same companies according to his financial disclosures. According to the League of Conservation Voters Scorecard, Congressman Schrader voted in support of legislation that would weaken or overturn environmental protections at least 15 times in 2017 and 2018 including H.R. 953, a handout to pesticide manufacturers. During that period he held $10K in Dow Chemical stock. The good news is that Deschutes County residents in Oregon’s redrawn Congressional District 5 can support a great candidate for Congress in the May 17th Democratic primary: Jamie McLeod-Skinner. Please join me and vote for Jamie McLeod-Skinner this May. Find out more at jamiefororegon.com. —Adrian Jones

Flying Under the Radar 6

A Russian-owned aircraft manufacturer based in Bend has thus far avoided sanctions as the U.S. Treasury Department seeks to undermine Russian economic interests By Jack Harvel

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 31, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Epic’s propeller plane can reach up to 617 kilometers an hour and hold over 2,000 pounds.

A Bend-based aircraft manufacturer that’s owned by a Russian billionaire says they aren’t expecting sanctions to impact their business. Epic Aircraft, a manufacturer of speedy single engine small planes, was acquired by Vladislav Filev in 2012. Filev owns Russia’s largest private airline, S7, also called Siberian Airlines, He’s been dubbed the “Russian Elon Musk” by Western media after he acquired the Sea Launch Spaceport in 2016. Filev built his fortune buying up and consolidating Russian airlines in the ‘90s, along with his wife, Natlalia Fileva, who died in a plane crash in Frankfurt in 2019 while flying in an Epic E1000 kit plane, according to her obituary in The New York Times. The year before her death Forbes ranked Natalia Fileva as Russia’s fourth-richest woman. The Filevs’ purchase of Epic was their first venture into the aircraft manufacturing market. The United States Department of the Treasury announced new sanctions Feb. 24, targeting Russia’s financial system and Russian elites after the nation invaded Ukraine. The sanctions on individuals focused on people with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian defense companies, Russian lawmakers and financial sector elites. Neither Filev nor S7 have been sanctioned since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and The Times of London reported that there’s no suggestion he’s close with Putin. “The United States consulted closely with partners to tailor the economic costs of these actions to weigh most heavily on the Government of the Russian Federation (GoR) and its economy while mitigating impacts to America and its allies,” the USDOT said in a press release. Epic was founded in Bend in 2004 by then CEO Rick Schrameck, who was removed from the company’s board of directors in 2009. The company filed for bankruptcy around that time and was briefly acquired by the Aviation Industry General Aircraft Co. Ltd, a Chinese company and an American partner, LT Builders Group, according to AVWeb, an aviation news

source. Filev initially acquired Epic in 2011 under a subsidiary of S7 specializing in aircraft, maintenance, repair and overhaul. Epic touted the move would leverage both companies’ strengths while introducing the manufacturer to a more global audience. “It’s exciting to be a part of Epic Aircraft’s next chapter. Working together with Engineering LLC, Epic will be able to extend our great commitment and dedication to the aircraft manufacturing industry including our customers, employees, vendors and all other stakeholders. This will be a truly significant move for the future of both companies,” said Douglas King, CEO of Epic Aircraft, in a press release after the acquisition. Epic is now owned by MVF Key Investments, a Cyprus-based firm that’s owned by Filev and his daughter. Cyprus was long considered a tax haven

that targeted Eastern European businesses to incorporate there with low flat corporate tax rates, privacy laws and proximity to Europe and Russia. However, in 2019 the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, an intergovernmental economic organization affiliated with the United Nations, declared the island nation was no longer considered a tax haven and gave it the same status as the U.S. and many European countries. At the time Filev acquired Epic it sold kit aircrafts that had to be assembled, but in July 2020 its E1000 GX model was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, meaning the company could sell a finished product instead of a kit. The plane wowed aviation enthusiasts and won Flying Magazine’s 2020 Flying Innovation Award, as well as Plane of the Year by Plane & Pilot. Since then Epic has been ramping up production on its $4.2 million planes despite some bumps during the pandemic. The Bulletin reported the company expects to build 20 planes in 2022, more than ever, and scaling up even more in 2023. Though Epic is a subsidiary of MVF Key Investments, all of its engineering, manufacturing and administrative operations take place in its headquarters by the Bend Municipal Airport. At peak employment the company employed over 300 people. Epic’s press contact told the Source Weekly that the company wouldn’t be impacted by sanctions, but didn’t provide further comment by the time this article went to print. Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said the U.S. and its partners are planning to further sanction Russian companies and individuals. “In addition to sanctioning companies in sectors that enable the Kremlin’s malign activities, we also plan to take actions to disrupt their critical supply chains,” Adeyemo said at an event for the think tank Chatham House on March 29, according to Reuters. “Our goal is to use an integrated approach that includes export controls which will bite over time and sanctions that will bite immediately.”

No Criminal Charges in Police Shooting

The Crook County District Attorney reports that Deputy Steven Hatcher acted lawfully in the shooting of Nick Rodin By Jack Harvel Courtesy of Nick Rodin via Facebook

“Under the totality of the circumstances known to Deputy Hatcher at the time of the shooting, Deputy Hatcher believed that Mr. Rodin posed an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to Deputy Hatcher. That belief was objectively reasonable.” —KARI HATHORN Rodin never dropped fully to the ground after several commands and was picking up and dropping the items in his hands, the report stated. Hatcher, believing Rodin was armed with a .22 caliber pistol, demanded Rodin put his gun on the ground, to which Rodin responded, “Kill me, motherfucker. What’s Up?” Hatcher responded, saying “You’re goddamn right I’ll kill you. Keep your hands where I can see them.” Hatcher continued to command Rodin to keep his hands visible and to get on the ground. Rodin refused, and after Hatcher said he’d use deadly force Rodin yelled, “I will shoot you first.” Rodin continued to

reach in his pockets and he eventually stood up. “Despite Deputy Hatcher’s repeated commands to Mr. Rodin to get on the ground, Mr. Rodin suddenly stood up and approached Deputy Hatcher, stating ‘I ain’t scared. I ain’t scared of you, dude. What’s up? Yeah, I want to die. I want to die, dude!’” the report said. Rodin, who’s a foot taller and nearly a hundred pounds heavier than Hatcher, circled the deputy as they exchanged threats. Rodin approached Hatcher saying he wasn’t scared and that he wanted to die. “Mr. Rodin continued to approach Deputy Hatcher in a challenging manner, yelling, ‘You’re shaking!’ and ‘[unintelligible] Your hands…you’re shaking, you scared-ass…’ Deputy Hatcher stated to Mr. Rodin, ‘I’m pretty dang close, though, aren’t I?’” Hathorne wrote in the report. Rodin responded, “Yeah, you are. So am I,” as he turned his body, moved the soda bottle under his left arm and reached toward his hip. Hatcher, believing Rodin was armed, shot Rodin twice before calling for medics. A toxicology report found Rodin had methamphetamine in his system, along with an anti-psychotic prescription drug. Rodin’s family told law enforcement that Rodin experienced schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Under Oregon law police can use deadly force if necessary to defend from an imminent threat of death and physical injury. DA Hathorn said that given Rodin’s 911 call and failure to comply with commands it was reasonable to assume Hatcher believed he was in danger. “Under the totality of the circumstances known to Deputy Hatcher at the time of the shooting, Deputy Hatcher believed that Mr. Rodin posed an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to Deputy Hatcher. That belief was objectively reasonable,” Hathorn wrote. Michael Fuller, a Portland attorney representing the Rodin family, told KTVZ the decision not to charge Hatcher didn’t surprise him, and that he’d continue to pursue a civil case. Hatcher remains on administrative leave until the Crook County Sheriff’s Office completes an administrative investigation that’s referred to a shooting review board.

Boiling in Warm Springs

Damages to Warm Springs’ Water Treatment Plant aren’t as dire as first expected, but long-term solutions are still distant By Jack Harvel The Warms Springs Water Treatment Plant is back online after an underground electrical fire disabled it on March 19. The reservation’s utilities department issued an emergency water conservation notice and deployed portable showers, toilets and bottled water while repairs were arranged. Originally the utilities department expected that repairs could take up to two months, but the damage was not as severe as expected and the plant was back online by March 22. Since then, Warm Springs water

users have been placed on an indefinite boil water notice to allow time for the water to flow and be tested by the environmental protection agency before it’s considered safe to drink, wash dishes, brush teeth or prepare food with, according to KWSO. Boil notices are issued any time a water system is disrupted, and the reservation's Emergency Management Office will continue to distribute drinking water at its office from 9am-4pm until it’s deemed safe by the EPA, which is expected sometime within the next

week. Warms Springs issued boil notices repeatedly over the last five years due to its aging water infrastructure. Warm Springs could be due some change with $3.5 billion in funding from the Infrastructure Bill that could replace a water main, a collapsed sewer line and the water treatment plant, though projects can take years to complete.

VOLUME 26 ISSUE 13 / MARCH 31, 2022 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Crook County District Attorney Kari Hawthorn determined that the Feb. 4 shooting of Nicholas Rodin by Crook County Sheriff’s Deputy Steven Hatcher did not violate Oregon law. A report from the DA says Rodin called 911 at 4:44 am Feb. 4, reporting that he had a warrant for his arrest, claiming he had a pistol and a knife and requesting he be picked up on Juniper Canyon before he hurt someone. Rodin had two active warrants, one for assault in the second degree issued by the Oregon Parole Board and the other for an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charge from out of state. Prior to Hatcher’s shift he’d reviewed call notes on Rodin, including a safety warning to exercise caution when approaching him, reports said. According to the DA, deputies didn’t find Rodin that morning, until Hatcher spotted him sitting on Maphet Road at around 1:30 pm. After driving out of sight Hatcher called for backup and returned, finding Rodin walking down Maphet Road. Hatcher called out to Rodin, who identified himself as Michael Reece. Hatcher returned to his car and observed Rodin walking down Maphet Road while checking over his shoulder. “Deputy Hatcher intended to wait for his backup to arrive before arresting Mr. Rodin on the warrant for Assault in the Second Degree issued by the Oregon Parole Board. However, Deputy Hatcher observed Mr. Rodin was getting near the driveway of the first residence on Maphet Road,” a report from DA Hawthorn says. “Based upon Mr. Rodin’s earlier threat that he was armed with a pistol and a knife and that he was going to hurt someone, Deputy Hatcher believed Mr. Rodin may harm someone. Deputy Hatcher drove his patrol vehicle down Maphet Road toward Mr. Rodin.” The report says Hatcher drove up to Rodin as he was nearing the first house on Maphet Road, and exited the car after Rodin quickly reached into his pocket and spun around. Hatcher pulled his service pistol and ordered Rodin to get on the ground. “Mr. Rodin dropped to his knees and Deputy Hatcher observed that the object Mr. Rodin had pulled from his pocket was a cell phone. Mr. Rodin initially had the cell phone in his right hand and a half full plastic two-liter soda bottle in his left hand, which he then dropped on the ground next to him,” the report says.

Sin cargos criminales en el tiroteo policial Por Jack Harvel Traducido por/Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar

en. Rodin tenía dos órdenes de arresto activas, una por un cargo de asalto en segundo grado emitido por la Junta de Libertad Condicional de Oregon y la otra por un asalto y agresión con arma peligrosa de otro estado. Antes del turno de Hatcher, había revisado el reporte de llamadas de Rodin, incluyendo el aviso de seguridad para tener cuidado al acercarse a él, según informes. De acuerdo al DA, los agentes no encontraron a Rodin esa mañana, hasta que Hatcher lo vio sentado sobre la calle

Maphet Road alrededor de la 1:30 pm. Después de perderlo de vista, Hatcher pidió refuerzos y regresó, encontrando a Rodin caminando sobre la calle Maphet Road. Hatcher llamó a Rodin, quien se identificó como Michael Reece. Hatcher regresó a su carro y vio a Rodin caminando por la calle Maphet Road mientras volteaba. “El auxiliar de alguacil Hatcher tenía la intención de esperar a que llegaran sus refuerzos antes de arrestar al Sr. Rodin debido a la orden de arresto por

agresión en segundo grado emitida por la Junta de Libertad Condicional de Oregon. Sin embargo, el auxiliar de alguacil Hatcher vio que el Sr. Rodin se acercaba a la cochera de la primer residencia sobre la calle Maphet Road,” indica un reporte del DA Hawthorn. “En base a la amenaza anterior de que el Sr. Rodin de que estaba armado con una pistola y un cuchillo y que podría lastimar a alguien, el auxiliar del alguacil, Hatcher, condujo su patrulla hacia la calle Maphet Road hacia dirección del Sr. Rodin.”

Hirviendo el agua en Warm Springs Por Jack Harvel Traducido por/Translated by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar La planta de tratamiento de agua de Warm Springs está funcionando de nuevo después que un incendio eléctrico subterráneo la deshabilitó el 19 de marzo. El departamento de servicios públicos de la reserva emitió un aviso de emergencia para la conservación del agua e instalo regaderas portátiles, sanitarios y envió agua embotellada mientras durante los preparativos de la reparación. Inicialmente, el departamento de servicios públicos pensó que las reparaciones podrían tomar hasta dos meses, pero el daño no fue tan grave como se pensaba

y la planta volvió a funcionar el 22 de marzo. Desde entonces, los usuarios de Warm Springs han recibido un aviso de tiempo indefinido para que hiervan el agua para permitir que el agua fluya y para que la agencia de protección ambiental analice el agua antes que se considere segura para beber, lavar trastes, cepillarse los dientes o preparar alimentos, según KWSO. Los avisos para hervir el agua se emiten cada vez que se interrumpe el sistema de agua y la oficina del manejo de emergencias de la reserva seguirá distribuyendo agua potable en su oficina de 9am-4pm hasta

que EPA considere seguro el uso del agua, lo cual se espera que suceda la próxima semana. Warm Springs emitió avisos repetidamente para hervir el agua durante los últimos cinco años debido a la infraestructura del sistema del agua. Warm Springs podría llevar a cabo un cambio con los $3.5 millones en fondos del Proyecto de Ley para la Infraestructura que podría reemplazar una tubería de agua, una línea de alcantarillado rota y la planta de tratamiento de agua, aunque los proyectos pueden tomar años para llevarse a cabo.

Building Boom While Pandemic Looms WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 31, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Demand for home improvement grew during the pandemic despite inflation, worker shortages and supply chain issues By Jack Harvel

As the economy gets back on track from COVID-19 and all its downstream effects like hiring shortages, supply chain disruptions and inflation, industries are getting back on track. Though the overall halt of business is long-gone, the pent-up demand that accumulated over the pandemic is still present. Construction costs rose by 17.5% from 2020-2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the largest spike since 1970. Lumber costs rose by more than 85% after wildfires disrupted U.S. timber production and tariffs were placed on Canadian wood. Metals are costing more than the pre-pandemic average. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic reported the construction industry was understaffed by about 4.4% in November 2021. Regardless, construction and contractors have been able to weather the pandemic better than others, and data from Hearth, a home improvement fintech company, found an 82% increase in home repair activity from 2019 to 2021. “I think the pandemic definitely affected industries differently. You could tell the hospitality, airlines, travel was definitely devastated by the pandemic,” said Ngan Le, the marketing and development director for Sierra James Construction. “Building bloomed, and I think that has more to do with people just being stuck at home going, ‘Oh, man, that kitchen looks kind of old, maybe we should do something about it.’” Stuck at home, more people took notice of the side projects they’d been meaning to get to, often aided by favorable refinancing rates that can line homeowners’ pockets with enough cash to take on a renovation. Le also said there have been a lot more renovations to create home offices as workers settled into remote positions. Sierra James prioritizes projects on a first in, first out basis which can get tricky with larger projects. “The supply chain is affecting a lot of different industries, including the building industry, and in our field, it just really depends on what the client wants. If it’s a simple little additional closet where there isn’t a

lot of material needed to do it, I think that would go a lot faster,” Le said. “I think a lot of homeowners and clients are doing their homework, as they should, and reaching out and vetting other contractors and doing their research on other builders, just to gauge the timelines, but a lot of it has to do with just the supply shortages, which is slowly catching back up.” That dearth of homebuilding materials can be tracked back to the Great Recession, during which a lot of lumber mills and specialized tradesman went out of business. “They estimate that we need to build at a level of somewhere around, 1.5 million new housing units to 1.7 new housing units, just to keep up with growth, and that’s just natural growth,” said Steve Wilson, chief sales officer for MonteVista Homes, a homebuilding company specializing in smaller markets across

Central Oregon. “We just can’t build enough homes; there’s not enough supply of product, and so if you look at what the output is of lumber mills, I think the output is the equivalent of maybe 1.3 to 1.5 million homes of output of product. If you can’t get the product, you can’t build more than that.” And a lot of that product is bypassing the typical construction market and going straight to do-it-yourselfers. A Harvard survey found that by May 2020, 80% of homeowners began a home improvement project. Home Depot reported a net sales increase of nearly 20% in 2020, and Lowe’s rose by nearly 25%. Going it alone on a home improvement journey brings its own set of headaches. A study commissioned by BJ’s Wholesale Club and conducted by OnePoll revealed that four in 10 people have more DIY failures than successes, that 45% have Courtesy of Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University

completely failed a project, 57% wish they’d sought professional help and 56% get so flustered they seek help from their parents. Hiring professional contractors can be a time-consuming process, but usually less so than taking on a project by oneself. The DIY market steadily grew throughout the pandemic, but experts at the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity expect home improvement spending to peak by May. “While annual owner improvement and repair spending could reach $430 billion by the second half of 2022, several headwinds may still temper growth expectations this year,” says Abbe Will, associate project director of the Remodeling Futures Program, in a statement. “The rising costs of labor and construction materials, difficulty retaining contractors, and climbing interest rates could discourage owners from undertaking new or larger remodeling projects.”

Coming Soon to a Backyard Near You

Curious about those small looking houses popping up in people’s backyards? Additional Dwelling Units are on the rise in Bend for plenty of reasons. Dense housing is on the rise in Central Oregon. Multi-story apartments have started to appear in the skyline and condos and duplexes have seen an increase in construction, but one option where locals are seeing a particular boom is the construction of accessory dwelling units, commonly known as ADUs. Since 2001, 702 ADU applications have been approved in the city, with 516 approvals since 2016. This shows an exponential growth trend that is likely to continue as issues of housing affordability and desire to live closer to city amenities increases. The American Planning Association defines ADUs as “a smaller, independent residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a stand-alone (i.e., detached) single-family home.” They differ from tiny homes in size, and function. The average ADU is around 400 to 800 square feet, while tiny homes are generally less than 300 square feet and often include some aspects of portability. Although sometimes controversial, Larry Wright of Tekneek Architecture believes they are a more socially accepted aspect of dense housing. “Unlike apartments and [other] high density housing, ADUs have been the most socially acceptable way to add density ‘in my backyard’ as opposed to the NIMBY’s (not in my back yard),” Wright told the Source. Although construction of these units is a relatively recent phenomena garnering attention, ADUs have been around for a long time, and have obtained different names, such as granny flats, coach houses and the mother-in-law suite. Given these names, there has been a historic stereotype associated with who builds and dwells in these units, but in Central Oregon, locals have diverse reasoning to live in ADUs. Reasons might include a desire to live a minimalist lifestyle or finding an affordable space, or being able to harness some extra income from a single-family property.

“The demographic that finds ADUs attractive are young people that likely have not yet started a family, single parents (usually due to lower rental rates), and seniors that are simplifying their lives and no longer need a lot of space.” —LARRY WRIGHT OF TEKNEEK ARCHTECTS The transition phase

Moving to Bend as a recent college graduate isn’t easy. With high student loans and an average rent of around $1,800 for an 800-square-foot space, according to the rental database RentCafe, there is a big risk moving to the area when trying to establish financial independence. Nik Eriksson is a recent college graduate who found that the affordability aspect of living in an ADU brought a sense of financial freedom as he transitioned from academia into the full-time working world. “I was able to add a little break where I could figure

out what’s going on and get some direction.” Eriksson says. The affordable aspects of a smaller space made it possible for Eriksson to work full time and actually save some money in the process. This is important in a growing city where the average age of residents is 38, and trending upward. Eriksson also found that although not intentional he appreciates some of the more minimal aspects of living in this space. “I’ve come to enjoy more minimalist living. It only takes four minutes to clean the entire place,” he said. There are some hurdles to minimizing space, though. In lieu of a kitchen, Eriksson uses a single sectioned hot plate for daily cooking. “I’ve never had to microwave rice before moving here,” he joked. In spite of these trade-offs though, living in the unit has allowed Eriksson to gain a foothold in a community that’s becoming increasingly more expensive.

The Architect’s perspective

Wright, in his experience as an architect, lists the people who are living in ADUs: “Number one is a market renter, two is relative or friend and three is the landowner themselves.” For homeowners, ADUs can expand financial opportunities and present some flexibility as aspects of their lives change. “The vast majority of local homeowners that do not have children living with them are interested in downsizing, and some are choosing to live in their ADU and rent out the big house for a better cash flow,” Wright said. Homeowners and those from more established demographics may see ADUs as a positive economic asset that complements downsizing needs. As far as the reasons for building one, “Additional

income is the runaway winner,” Wright said. “A place for ailing parents or relatives to live close by is second and third is designing an ADU into a new house build to help justify the high purchase cost by being able to offset some of the mortgage payment with rent from the ADU.” Wright believes that not only do ADUs help folks improve their financial situations, but they can also provide benefits for the community as a whole. “It really helps society with the rising cost of housing. They provide lower cost places to live, provide ancillary income to the average homeowner and allow young family members a transitional place to live before they can afford to rent or buy their own place. With the cost of real estate so high now, an ADU can also help buyers offset the costs on a property they may not otherwise be able to afford,” Wright says. With the state recently eliminating single-family zoning in favor of building allowing more duplexes and multi-family units in areas formerly only zoned for single homes, denser housing is a growing reality for all of Oregon. While there are diversifying reasons for seeking alternatives to traditional single-family housing, a lot seems to stem from people in transition periods of their lives. “The demographic that finds ADUs attractive are young people that likely have not yet started a family, single parents (usually due to lower rental rates), and seniors that are simplifying their lives and no longer need a lot of space,” Wright explained. With the multitude of reasons, expect ADU interest and construction to remain on the rise.

If You Like to Eat, Support Local Bees Plant a pollinator-friendly garden or become a backyard beekeeper WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 31, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

By Donna Britt @foodlifelove.com Credit Muffy Roy

Honeybees are a crucial link in agricultural production. To put it another way, about one mouthful in three in our diet directly or indirectly benefits from honeybee pollination, according to the USDA Agricultural Research Service. Yes, you can thank the small honeybee for one of every three bites of food you ingest. However, honeybees are in trouble. The Center for Biological Diversity reports more than 40% of bee species are vulnerable to extinction and over 20% of U.S. native bees have declined. Habitat loss, pesticides, climate change and disease are among factors causing the decline. Should that decline continue, entire ecosystems will be affected and food supplies will be at risk. That’s the bad news. The good news is we can do something about it. There are two ways to contribute to the wellness of bees: Become a beekeeper and/or provide a pollinator friendly garden. “It’s almost better to provide the garden,” states Central Oregon hobbyist beekeeper Muffy Roy. That’s not to discourage anyone from keeping bees, but as Roy points out, beekeeping is not for everybody. “Hives are a huge commitment,” Roy continues, “And keeping them is a wonderful, thought-provoking pursuit with challenges.” If you’re up for such a challenge and interested in having a hive for honey, there is local support to help. A good place to start is the Central Oregon Beekeeping Association, whose mission is to promote successful beekeeping through education, collaboration, communication and research. It offers beginner beekeeping courses, among other things. Oregon State University also has an apiary at the Central Oregon Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Madras where workshops, field days, etc. take place. Roy got into beekeeping after visiting a friend’s beehive, becoming fascinated by the bees and respecting the fact that pollinators are responsible for our food supply. She remembers the first time she took honey from a comb out of her own hive. “It was like liquid gold, and the most special thing on the planet.” She has some advice for other beekeeping wannabees. “It’s important to have respect for the neighborhood. Your hive or hives must be kept healthy. If a hive becomes infected with the varroa mite for example, it can infect neighboring hives.” Mites and starvation are the main causes of death of local bees. An interesting item to note is honey bees are not native to Central Oregon, although they are now well established. Mason bees are native, and while they don’t produce honey, they are still pollinators. For those inclined to plant a garden to provide pollen for the pollinators, Roy recommends a booklet published by OSU that can help you with your “bee” garden, “Water-Wise Gardening in Central Oregon,” by Amy Jo Detweiler. Bees are not the only pollinators that benefit from a pollinator-friendly garden; others include hummingbirds, butterflies, moths and bats. Other great resources for creating a garden that will support your local honey bee (or Mason bee or butterfly) are available online at Deschutes Land Trust and the U.S. Forest Service. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Think purple. Bees love purple plants such as lavender, borage, flax and Bluebeard, among others. Plant in clumps, such as 4-foot by 4-foot squares. Why? Because bees only collect one type of pollen each flight out from the hive so a clump of the same plant will provide them plenty of pollen in a single visit. Plant in succession so that something is blooming every month during the growing season, thus keeping the pollen supply steady. Whether you’re interested in becoming a backyard beekeeper or planting a garden that attracts bees, you may be concerned about getting stung by a bee. Bees are typically only aggressive if their home is threatened. That means you shouldn’t stand in front of a hive or poke or jiggle a hive. If you see a swarm of bees, don’t be alarmed. A swarm happens when a hive is overcrowded. The hive will split and up to two-thirds of the bees in the hive will leave (in a swarm) to find a new home. The bees in a swarm are full of food and therefore quite docile. If you see a swarm, contact the Central Oregon Beekeeping Association for professional help.

If a honeybee swarm like this is found, call the professionals.

Building a Pollinator Garden

Creating a Good Pollinator Habitat 10 Principles for a Good Start

By Barbara Rumer Credit Barbara Rumer

Ensure continuous bloom in each season. Early spring flowering blooms: pollinators need early food. (ex.: Oregon Grape, Willow, Camas) Summer flowering: (ex.: Russian sage, catmint, Galardia, Globe Gilia). Early fall flowering: for migrating butterflies and late season pollinators. (ex: goldenrod, Rabbitbrush) References below. Include Native plants Some nursery plants are great for pollinators, but native pollinators prefer to forage from native plants. Ex.: bluefield gilia or Douglas’ aster, blanket flower. Plant single-petaled varieties of flowers Double petaled nursery varieties are beautiful, but their breeding reduced the flower’s pollen and amount of nectar. Pollinators can access more pollen produced in single- petaled plants.

A variety of flower shapes will attract a wider assortment of pollinators.

Many people in Bend are helping to curb the drastic decline of pollinators in the world by planting pollinator gardens in private and public spaces. Let’s do it! You can create a larger space or have pots of flowers on your deck. With some planning, you can attract those wonderful, beneficial creatures such as bees and butterflies, hummingbirds and moths. The City of Bend has as part of its 2021-2023 goals to “Preserve Bend’s natural environment.” The City aims to continue to nurture native plants, pollinators and will continue to improve and assist environmental practices including water-wise landscaping. Pollinator gardens are perfect for incorporating native plants that naturally use less water in dry Central Oregon.

Why native pollinator plants? Why drought proof?

Use as many native plants as possible. Native plants are well suited to meet the needs of native pollinator species. In fact, these creatures are actually dependent on them. Also, high desert plants evolved to be drought tolerant. They need less water to be happy. An average yard with high desert native plants uses only 1,669 gallons per year, while a similar normal turf lawn uses 15,000 gallons of water per year. Natives require less maintenance and tend to be heartier. A double plus! Pollinators thrive on flower nectar and pollen. Designate a section of your landscape strictly for a pollinator garden filled with a multitude of wildflowers and grasses, trees or shrubs. Seek out a site that receives at least six hours of sun each day. If your space is limited, consider growing in containers filled with rich, well-drained soil. Be sure to provide water sources for the pollinators (water bowls or birdbaths). Research pollinator varieties. Whether using native or non-native plants, choose from a wide range of flower shapes and sizes to suit the feeding preferences of a variety of pollinators. Pollinator Pathways Bend (see Facebook site) has developed many pollinator gardens in Bend. Last year they planted 2,000 plants and gave away thousands to help our habitat. Credit Barbara Rumer

Group pollinator plants in larger blocks Use blocks 30 square feet or larger (if possible). Native bees are attracted to larger beds compared to smaller disconnected clumps. Include bulbs, shrubs and trees Pack pollen and nectar resources into your landscape design by also using these. See examples in the references below. Extend Bloom time Keep plants blooming longer by planting the right spots and deadheading flowers before they go to seed. Create Bee Habitat Have small areas of bare soil, as 70% of native bees nest in the ground. Make bee “hotels” using pithy stems, also holes drilled into wooden blocks. Reduce or Eliminate Insecticide Use Read labels! Neonictinoids kill insects. (Avoid using if product names acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, nitenpyram or dinotefuran.) There are safe insecticide alternatives if you have aphids or borers in trees. Avoid problem-prone trees or shrubs that might need insecticides to stay healthy. Ask for Bee-Safe Plants from your nurseries. These are plants that have not been grown with bee-killing insecticides. Use pollinator friendly practices. Remember, if a bee comes in contact with these toxins, it goes back to its hive or ground space and contaminates these toxins onto others. Bees can forage up to a mile from their nest. The City of Bend as well as Bend Park and Recreation District have not been using these insecticides for years. We should follow suit. Never use pesticides or herbicides of any kind in or around the pollinator garden. Even organic pesticides can potentially be harmful to pollinators. Herbicides, too, can actually wipe out some of the most important food plants for pollinators.

Because 70% of native bees nest in the ground, gardens should contain small areas of bare soil that are attractive to bees.

Plant and enjoy!

Crucial steps to creating “pollinator pathways” for the creatures that keep our food systems humming

Seek a Diversity of Flower Shapes and Plant Families Different insects are attracted to different types of flowers. Some bees have long tongues, some short tongues, thus needing different types of flowers. Butterflies and moths require plants for their caterpillars to feed. Appeal to the needs of pollinators through color, fragrance and flower form.

Just how many wins will Olivia Rodrigo take home? We look at some nominees for the 64th Annual Grammy Awards By Isaac Biehl

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 31, 2022 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Grammy Talk

Just like books, you can't judge an album by its cover, but all these are up for awards in this Sunday's Grammys.

The Oscars just happened this past weekend, with “CODA” taking home Best Picture, “Dune” hauling in six other awards, Jessica Chastain winning Best Actress and Will Smith with Best Actor. But the fun isn’t over for pop culture fans just yet as this weekend we’re about to be treated once more with the Grammy Awards! After a delay due to the COVID-19 Omicron variant the show will be held on April 3 from 5-8:30pm PST on CBS. So get ready for your Twitter timelines to explode yet again—although, I’m not sure things will pop off quite like they did with the Oscars. Music’s biggest night is back, so as is tradition, I’ll be checking out a few categories to see what should win, and what will most likely win on the biggest stage. Here we go. Best New Artist Arooj | Aftab | Jimmie Allen | Baby Keem | Finneas | Glass Animals | Japanese Breakfast | The Kid Laroi | Arlo Parks | Olivia Rodrigo | Saweetie Should Win: Honestly kind of a tough, yet confusing category with what is considered a “new artist.” But for those where that title feels right, there are clear standouts. Baby Keem put out one of the best hip-hop albums of last year, Arlo Parks shined insanely bright for R&B, all while Olivia Rodrigo became a new pop juggernaut. One of these three should take the crown. Will Win: If Olivia Rodrigo doesn’t win this I would be incredibly shocked. She’s on a different level of stardom right now compared to everyone in this category. Best Alternative Music Album Fleet Foxes – Shore | Halsey – If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power | Japanese Breakfast – Jubilee | Arlo Parks – Collapsed In Sunbeams | St. Vincent – Daddy’s Home Should Win: Japanese Breakfast needs this win. There’s a chance it will happen, but I don’t have a lot of faith. I would also accept an Arlo Parks victory for her stunning album “Collapsed In Sunshine.”

Will Win: Probably St. Vincent or Fleet Foxes. Best Rap Album J. Cole – The Off-Season | Drake – Certified Lover Boy | Nas – King’s Disease II | Tyler, The Creator – Call Me If You Get Lost | Kanye West – Donda Should Win: Tyler, The Creator brought back DJ Drama and the Gangsta Grillz Mixtape vibe in such an incredible and innovative manner. He truly deserves it. Will Win: Drake or Nas. Record Of The Year ABBA – “I Still Have Faith In You” | Jon Batiste – “Freedom” | Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga – “I Get A Kick Out Of You” | Justin Bieber – “Peaches” (Feat. Daniel Caesar & Giveon) Brandi Carlile – “Right On Time” | Doja Cat – “Kiss Me More” (Feat. SZA) | Billie Eilish – “Happier Than Ever” | Lil Nas X – “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” | Olivia Rodrigo – “drivers license” | Silk Sonic – “Leave The Door Open” Should Win: Justin Bieber’s “Peaches” is honestly a bop. It’s catchy, fun and feels like summer. His flip on the track during his Tiny Desk performance might even be better. Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” is another one of these crazy-infectious songs that went nuclear on the radio and Tik Tok. Having SZA featured on the track was a brilliant move. Then of course, “driver’s license,” which got so big SNL even tackled it with a skit. It’s not even Rodrigo’s best song, but that thing blew up. Will Win: Probably Rodrigo with “drivers license.” The only thing that I think comes close to maybe stopping it is Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More.” Album Of The Year Jon Batiste – We Are | Justin Bieber – Justice: Triple Chucks Deluxe | Doja Cat – Planet Her Deluxe | Billie Eilish – Happier Than Ever | Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett – Love For Sale | H.E.R. – Back Of My Mind | Lil

Nas X – Montero | Olivia Rodrigo – Sour | Taylor Swift – Evermore | Kanye West – Donda Should Win: This is a category that always underwhelms for me because it always feels like the real standouts get left behind. However, some albums here are really strong. It ultimately comes down to three for me: Doja Cat (who recently said she was going to quit music and then apologized) released a really fun album that pushes pop to exciting places; Billie Eilish who continues to improve and grow with each release, seemingly becoming a mainstay at the top of the music pantheon; and then Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour.” She put out a great debut album and looks to stick around just as Eilish has. Will Win: Again, Olivia Rodrigo might have this thing locked up. There are plenty more categories that will be dishing out wins, and you can find them all online. But the big story here is we might be seeing history again with Oliva Rodrigo. She has seven total nominations this year, and we could see the young star sweep all of those or the big four (best album, best new artist, song of the year, record of the year) just as Billie Eilish accomplished the latter at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards. Eilish has seven total wins out of 17 nominations so far in her career, and Rodrigo may be following down that road with her early buzz and success. I wouldn’t be surprised by the outcome, as I embarrassingly ordered $90 worth of “Sour” album merchandise one night after too many edibles when the album first released. One might also call that music’s biggest night. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards Sun., April 3, 5-8:30pm PST Watch on CBS

Bad Religion in Bend

The iconic pop-punk band is touring in support of its first collection of new music in six years Courtesy Bad Religon

Bad Religion has a treasure trove of songs about #45—but not all of those made its most recent album.

Thomas Paine, the 18th-century author of “The Age of Reason,” once claimed that arguing with someone who’d renounced the use of reason is as effective as “administering medicine to the dead or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.” Bad Religion, as the name suggests, has no interest in converting atheists. But on its current album, “Age of Unreason,” the L.A. pop-punk stalwarts do share a similar exasperation with what Paine famously called the “times that try men’s souls.” The album is the band’s first collection of new music in six years. Not surprisingly, it includes more than a few less-than-veiled references to a certain previous commander in chief. “I don’t believe in Golden Ages, or presidents that put kids in cages,” sings frontman Greg Graffin in “End of History,” one of the album’s few songs to approach the three-minute mark. But Bad Religion’s primary target isn’t former President Donald Trump so much as that special combination of bigotry, nationalism and apathy that helped to enable him, which is part of the reason the sarcastic, shout-along 2018 single, “The Kids Are Alt-Right,” didn’t make it onto the album. That may come as a surprise to those who recall guitarist Brett Gurewitz’s widely circulated quote about the band having “an album’s worth of ‘F*** Trump’ songs” up its sleeve.

“In 10 years’ time, who the f*** is gonna give a s*** about Donald Trump?” —JAY BENTLEY “I hope it’s not that singular,” said Bad Religion bassist, vocalist and co-founder Jay Bentley. “In my mind, using Trump as a metaphor works for many things, but historically we haven’t been too focused on any single individual. Because in 10 years’ time, who the f*** is gonna give a s*** about Donald Trump?” Musically, the album finds the band working for the first time with Carlos de la Garza, the Grammy-winning producer whose recent credits include Paramore, Ziggy Marley and Cherry Glazerr. But the British punk and L.A. hardcore influences, which have worked so well for bands like Bad Religion and their less-cerebral Northern California counterparts, Green Day, are still very much in evidence. And Bentley, who holds the distinction of playing on all but two of the band’s 17 studio albums, is uncharacteristically enamored with the results. “I’ve listened to it many times and that’s rare for me, because I don’t like us,” he said, only half joking. “And that’s because I’m in the band, so I’m too close. It’s really hard for me not to listen with that critical ear, instead of just enjoying it. So when I can just sort

of tap my foot along and go, ‘Damn, this is good,’ that’s shocking to me. And this album is front-loaded with great songs, and then by the end, it’s just screaming.” While “Age of Unreason” is best listened to loud, standout tracks like “Old Regime” and “What Tomorrow Brings” also showcase the three-part harmonies that Bad Religion originally modeled after their favorite Orange County punk band. “If I’m to be brutally honest, we got all our ideas from watching The Adolescents, who were all phenomenal vocalists,” said Bentley. “We were also fans of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Elvis Costello, and other music where background harmonies were important, which wasn’t so much the case in punk rock. So when we saw The Adolescents, we thought, ‘If they can do it, we can do it.’ It just took us a long time to figure it out.”

A Place Where Everybody LITTLE BITES Knows Your Name Puff Puff Pass-trami: By Nicole Vulcan

By Donna Britt @foodlifelove.com Courtesy El Rodeo

“The people. The atmosphere.” Those two things, says Cesar Acosta, are what make El Rodeo such a special place. Oh, and the delicious food and the fast kitchen, and of course, the exceptional margaritas! Bend’s quintessential Mexican restaurant pretty much has it all, and has since opening on the southern end of Third Street back in 1999. Acosta’s uncle, Rudy Arias, was a founding partner and now, along with his wife, are sole owners of El Rodeo. Acosta, who’s a supervisor at the restaurant, smiles and states, “Uncle Rudy is the best boss I’ve ever had.” His nephew isn’t the only person with great affection for El Rodeo’s proprietor; the restaurant has several long-term employees and many, many regulars who pack the house daily. “We have regulars who come every day and others who come two to three times a week,” says Acosta. “Our mission is to give the best service we can to our customers.” That commitment has certainly paid off during the past couple of years. El Rodeo’s longtime supporters were more than willing to order takeout and dine outside and show back up after temporary closures as the establishment, like many others in Central Oregon, navigated its way through the pandemic. On any given afternoon or evening the El Rodeo parking lot is packed and the restaurant is full of life; families celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, couples having a night out, folks from all walks of life simply enjoying a meal or a drink. Now-grown children with their own kids in tow recall going to the restaurant since they were toddlers. There’s a special menu for amigos under 12 years of age with items such as tacos, enchiladas, grilled cheese and hamburgers. Owner Arias is roaming around, checking in at each table, making sure his customers are having a good time, sometimes surprising them

A few El Rodeo staff members pause for a smile.

with something “on the house.” There is laughter and a lot of smiling. It’s a feel-good kind of thing. El Rodeo really is a classic Mexican family restaurant serving authentic food in a colorful atmosphere. Chips, spicy salsa and a simple slaw called “cabbage” show up as soon as you sit down. The Perfecta Margarita arrives at the table in a large, ice cold metal shaker, which makes it easy to refill your own drink. Everything is made fresh in-house and comes out hot (or cold when appropriate) and fast. The Mexican state of Jalisco in northwestern Mexico, along the Pacific Coast, is famous as the birthplace of mariachi, tequila and charreria (Mexican rodeo) and it’s where the Arias family has its roots. The food at El Rodeo reflects those roots; Mar & Tierra (ribeye or carne asada cooked over charcoal with prawns and mushrooms) is a popular favorite, as is the bacon-wrapped camarones (Camarones Apretalados) and the Chicken en Mole. Abundant burritos, enchiladas of every sort, dinner combos and sizzling fajitas round out the multi-page menu. As Acosta puts it, “there’s a little bit of everything and something for everyone.” Rice, beans, and fresh guacamole are typical accoutrements. Egg dishes such as Huevos Rancheros and Machaca

feature shredded beef with scrambled eggs on the lunch menu, served daily from noon to 3pm. There’s Chile Verde and Tortilla Soup; Chile Relleno and tamales; Steak Picado and Parillada—a feast for either two or four people featuring carne asada, grilled chicken, pork chops and shrimp along with vegetables, rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream and tortillas. And if there’s something you’re craving that isn’t on the menu, ask your server about it. Frequent visitors often come in the back-door bar entrance and plant themselves at the cozy, old school bar. Along with El Rodeo’s renowned margaritas, there’s house-made sangria and a large selection of beers, both domestic and Mexican. Check out the El Rodeo Facebook page to find out about takeout dinner specials and see a lot of great food pics. After trying El Rodeo once, chances are the people and the atmosphere will have you coming back for more.

Cheba Hut opens

Oregon has more than its fair share of stoners—but until now, it only boasted a single weed-themed sandwich shop, in the hippie mecca of Eugene. But on March 28, Bend became the second location in the state to be home to a Cheba Hut, the sandwich shop chain with a marijuana theme. Bend’s Cheba Hut is owned by two couples: Jennee and Seth Elliff fell in love with the Cheba Hut them after visiting the location in Eugene, so they teamed up with Dan and Sandie Campbell, former owners of Cultus Lake Resort, to open the Bend version. Cheba Hut offers more than 30 types of toasted subs, along with a full bar featuring drinks such as the “Dirty Hippie,” and “Hot Box.” Also on the menu are other munchies, like the Loaded Not’Chos featuring nacho toppings on a bed of nacho cheese Doritos, and “Goo Balls” with rice cereal, peanut butter and marshmallows. It’s located at 1288 SW Simpson Ave., Suite 1, in Bend and is open from 11am to 10pm daily. (And P.S., while we’re very proud of the pun used in this headline, the shop does not appear to have pastrami on its regular menu.)

A Focaccia Pop-Up Some people took to baking sourdough during the pandemic. But one Bendite started baking focaccia instead—and now that hobby is available for locals to try. The people behind Focaccia Folks are hosting their first focaccia pop-up event in front of West Coast Provisions in Northwest Crossing April 7. Focaccia Folks “adapts traditional Ligurian and Pugliese focaccia-base recipes and adds a creative twist with ingredients from the Pacific Northwest and West Coast,” according to the company. Those who pre-order by April 6 can put up a full 11x15-inch sheet of Rosemary and Garlic Focaccia the next day, April 7. Patrons also simply buy a slice to try during the popup from 5 to 7pm. Visit focacciafolks.com for ordering information.

By Jared Rasic

In Pod We Trust: I’ve been trying to make my brain less of a wasteland filled with movie quotes and useless factoids, and something more resembling a grown-up human mind that knows how a microwave works. So, I’m trying to science myself into understanding with the hilarious/ knowledgeable podcast, “The Infinite Monkey Cage,” which takes complex scientific and futurist ideas and makes them palatable to someone with my lack of brain smarts. Plus, hosts Brian Cox and Robin Ince are British, so they already sound brilliant, even when they’re talking about cosmology or space tourism. Check this one out, it’s good for you. “Call Me Curious” is the other podcast I’m using to try and expand my weirdly tiny little mind into something closer to a well-rounded one. Main host Nikki Boyer dives into a trending topic that people have heard of but don’t really know the details about and basically breaks down whether they are good or bad for you (and the world in general). As someone who has been doing intermittent fasting for the last couple of years, the episode dedicated to that really blew my mind. It’s only been on for a few weeks, so I don’t have much experience with the show so far, but each topic so far has been a banger.

Come for the high concept and stay for the brilliant script and performances in “Severance.”

Now Streaming I’m genuinely in awe by how many great shows I’ve seen so far this. From the stellar first season of the ultimate dad show, “Reacher,” to “Yellowjackets” and “Peacemaker” both sticking the landing perfectly, this year is genuinely poised to bring in another golden age of television. On Apple TV+, the pitch black sci-fi comedy “Severance” from Ben Stiller is a mind-bending parable for the modern age that’s learning some interesting new lessons post-Covid about the work/life balance. The performances from John Turturro, Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette and Britt Lower are sublime and the design/cinematography are at times genuinely breathtaking. Also off to a very strong start is the long-awaited new season of Donald Glover’s “Atlanta,” which

manages to keep the surreal vibe of season two, while adding a thick dollop of comedy and drama to wade through. So far, these first two episodes have made the return of the show very worth the wait. Also, holy heck, the Oscars were quite something. Only in 2022 would we get the first openly queer award winner, the first deaf winner for Best Supporting Actor and Will Smith smacking the hell out of Chris Rock and then a half hour later winning Best Actor! We had Riz Ahmed win an award for his new rap video, “Dune” winning six whole Oscars and don’t forget Anthony Hopkins and Liza Minelli looking like they barely had any idea where they were. For good or bad, it was an uncomfortable, awkward and sometimes truly powerful night filled with some of the weirdest moments I’ve seen from a live television program.

It’s crazy we’re already a quarter of the way through the year. I always thought it was a cliche to say time flies as you get older, but that might be the most accurate statement of my entire life. Every day feels like it’s three hours long and by the time I’m fully awake and ready for the day, the sun starts to set. Another weird thing about this year so far is that there hasn’t been a breakout great movie yet. There’s definitely been a few good ones, a few solid ones and a whole lot of forgettable dreck, but the real brilliance from the pop culture spheres has been coming from the streaming services and podcasts. Here’s a few I’m absolutely in love with.

inflorescence consists of disk flowers. The smaller disk flowers have tiny distinct petals, as opposed to a ray flower’s petals which are fused making them appear singular. Perhaps the most well-known example of the Asteraceae family is the sunflower. Local composites include the arrow leaf balsamroot, thistles, even sagebrush. Trees and shrubs also flower with various unique shapes. Next time you walk by a willow whose silver buds have lengthened into speckled yellow shoots, listen. You will hear the buzz of hundreds of happy insects busily collecting the rich concentrations of pollen sprouting from little catkin flowers. Catkins are long, cylindrical groups of tiny flowers commonly employed by woody plants in the flowering game. The genus Penstemon is one of the largest in the world with 270 different species—all of which are endemic (originated) to North America. Arguably some of the most beautiful flower types, Penstemons are recognized for their vibrant and unique colors and shapes. The petals of this flower are fused, creating a tubular covering for the anthers and stigma. They are sometimes called beardtongue, which refers to a common feature of this plant. The beardtongue is a sterile stamen that is modified to varying degrees to increase the likelihood of pollination by attracting insects or animals. Penstemons have speciated to take advantage of a variety of growing habitats from deserts to wetlands, high alpine soils to rocky cliff sides. Oregon has at least 46 native Penstemon plants. Given the diversity of flowering plants, it should come as no surprise that flowers bloom in a mind-bending array of forms. All of them possess one thing in common: an ovary containing a seed which requires pollination to germinate. The process of pollination can be left to capricious breezes, as in the case of grasses or specifically facilitated by an animal or insect that many of our Penstemons rely on. Then the subject of seed dispersal begins. Probably one of the reasons angiosperms are so successful is that their seed often confers some benefit to its distributor. Angiosperm seeds containing nutrient-rich ovaries are an essential diet item for most land-dwelling life forms, but that is a song for another season. This spring, enjoy the flowers, because after all, that’s what they were designed for!

Don’t Worry, Ski Happy! Josh Suran is a local avid skier who posts a regular weather report from Mt. Bachelor on his @josh_reports Instagram, Tik Tok, and Facebook accounts. His ultimate mission: to spread happiness and remind people to enjoy every day. Source Weekly: How long have you been skiing at Mt. Bachelor? Josh Suran: I’ve been skiing at Mt. Bachelor since I was about two years old. The second I was able to stand my dad put me in a pair of boots and pushed me down the hill. This has been home my whole life. SW: Where did the inspiration come to start Josh Reports? JS: I spent a couple years in Whitefish, Montana, and I was the snow reporter for the ski resort during one season. I kind of stumbled into that job and I loved doing it. When I moved back home in 2020, I noticed there was a lot of negativity going on in some local forums. I decided I would try making a positive ski report to make people smile. It kind of started as a joke, and then took off from there. Here I am over a year later still doing it. SW: How did you wind up turning, “enjoy every day” into your brand? JS: I’ve always been chasing the dream of doing something to make a positive impact in the world. I had originally started a YouTube channel called Enjoy Every Day, then somehow, I ended up with a clothing company called Enjoy Every Day. Now the goal is to try to keep blending Enjoy Every Day with Josh Reports to keep spreading that positive message. SW: How do you make sure you enjoy every day? JS: I make sure to remember that even if I am having a tough time, I can get out to stop and smell the roses for a brief minute each day. I think the heart of the motto is not necessarily the idea of enjoying every single moment of every day, but remembering that there is something to enjoy in every day.

arkness inexorably yields to light, just as warmth will gently thaw the coldest days. Nowadays our small corner of earth begins to lean toward the sun and the landscape lifts her face gratefully to absorb a slow increase of its regenerative rays. The lengthening photoperiod and slow defrosting of soil sends chemical signals zinging through vascularized tissue, whispering with urgency; “grow!” Before plants put their energy into the singular activity of unfurling leaves with which to fuel themselves, they reproduce. Flowers, in varying forms, are simply precursors to fruit. Those fruits will contain a seed, a fertilized embryo. To accomplish fertilization, flowers produce pollen on anthers. With luck or careful engineering, the pollen is received by stigmas. This “flowering” clade of plants is classified as angiosperms and is the most diverse group of terrestrial organisms, making up 90% of the plant life on earth. Each spring angiosperms brighten the world with colors, shapes and smells aimed to allure. A single flower or cluster of flowers at the end of a stem is known as an inflorescence. The growth pattern of inflorescence is used to identify the type of plant. Grasses belong to a family in the plant kingdom called Poaceae. They have three types of inflorescence in which florets—which will become seeds if pollinated—are arranged. The flowers of Poaceae only appear briefly and are often overlooked, but close examination reveals an exquisite design. When grass flowers bloom, their colorful anthers and stigmas swell to erupt from minute green coverings like tiny fireworks. Grass flowers are so unique that their anatomy has an array of proprietary terms to describe them. Glumes, palea and lemma are each a type of modified leaf called bracts. They encase the tiny grass flower until the right time when the flowers erupt and flood the spring air with pollen. Composite flowers, often known generically as “daisies” belong to the Asteraceae family. This cheerful, bright inflorescence pops with bold colors and often has a medicinal or nutritional value, thus encouraging its propagation. The flower head of this plant is made of many tiny flowers arranged in a circle. The “petals” of an aster consist of individual ray flowers. Ray flowers can have anthers or stigmas or both, but most are pistillate, which means they only contain a stigma and a style to receive pollen. The center of a composite

the Nest OUTSIDE Watching The only known Golden Eagle cam in North America is near Sisters, capturing a mom and dad sitting on their eggs

If you want to peek in on the life and times of a pair of beautiful, wild, Golden Eagles nesting locally, all you have to do is go to goldeneaglecam.org. There, Petra, the female, and Rocky, the male, are back again this year. I don’t think anyone knew about the eagles until Janet Zuelke and Forrest Babcock noticed the cliff nest from their place almost directly across from it on Whychus Creek—way back when it was Squaw Creek. I wouldn’t have known about it either if Janet hadn’t called me in the 2003 nesting season. Babcock was a whiz-bang optical engineer back in those days, and telescopes were in his bailiwick. He and Zuelke rigged up a telescope on the end of a TV camera that allowed them to bring the eagle into their television set. Oh boy, was that something for Zuelke! She loved sitting in her living room and watching the daily doings of that eagle family. Then, without warning, on an unusually windy day, disaster struck. “Forrest!” she shouted, “The baby has fallen out of the nest!” “Call Jim Anderson,” he replied, “Maybe he can get it back.” I had never heard anyone so upset. She was almost shouting at me as she explained the dilemma. “I’m watching a baby eagle clinging to sticks on the side of the nest, and I’m afraid it’s going to fall!” I was about to suggest she get out of that area and leave the eagle alone when she shut that thought off with, “We have a telescope set up and it’s sending the image into our television!” Well, that was different. Unfortunately, Sue and I were far out in the field looking at other eagle nests and couldn’t immediately respond. Zuelke watched as the adult eagle tried again and again to coax the baby with food to get it back into the safety of the nest, but all to no avail. The poor nestling had no strength to climb up the vertical side, and the wind that blew it out was still very strong. This wasn’t just a dilemma for the young eagle, but it was also for me. It was a natural situation going on, not anything man-caused, and my conscience and my legal permission to interrupt a natural event was such that I couldn’t intervene. Trying to explain that to that dear woman would not only be impossible but from her standpoint, unconscionable. She kept us informed with frantic phone calls. The situation was solved within a few hours when another big gust of

wind hitting the nest. The adult eagle, with her mouth full of rabbit, was lifted off the nest and the poor little guy below her, clinging to a few sticks, lost its grip and fell to its death on the rocks far below. The eagles didn’t return until 2010. But in spite of the outcome of that past nesting attempt, both Zuekle and Babcock began gearing up for the season when they noticed a new pair at the site. Babcock’s snazzy optical equipment brought the nest into their living room better and better and each year they recorded the eagle’s outcome. Eventually, with help from technical experts, friends and local organizations, they ended up with the only optical equipment in the U.S. streaming an active Golden Eagle nest online. People who were watching the eagle site contributed money and material and Zuelke, in her usual educator-and-wildlife ways, made the eagle site available for schools. And that’s the way it was when Leslie Lawrence purchased Zuelke and Babcock’s place in 2014. But the year before that land change, Babcock took it upon himself to build a stronger and firmer base to put the telescope on. With the aid of his sturdy body and wheelbarrow, he hauled load after load of concrete—all alone—to the location of his eagle-observing equipment and created the rock-solid telescope support pillar that’s there today. When Lawrence moved in, this could have been the end of spying on that pair of eagles. But thanks to her enthusiastic cooperation, initial technical support provided by Tony Kay, and the genius of Jim Hammond, who had skills similar to Babcock’s, the whole system was upgraded with newer and better optical equipment (all donated or lent to the project), and now sends out images that blow us away. The nest is still there, thanks in part to two impactful events and lots of

wonderful people. The Deschutes Land Trust has taken over ownership of the land the nest rests upon, and East Cascades Audubon Society is paying the cost of the internet access and online charges that make this unique experience possible today. Plus, you, dear readers, have chipped in via the website donate link to help ECAS along with the financial needs. Can’t beat that with a stick! In 2019, one of the young eagles fell out of the nest, an event that happens often with two young. Unfortunately for the Golden Eagle population, two young in the nest spells trouble. They compete for food and location, which usually ends with the death of the smaller nestling (usually a male). That year, with a lot of the world watching, the smaller of the two eaglets accidentally got bumped out of the nest and fell to the rocks below. This turned out to be a social—as well as a biological dilemma—of the first order. No one wanted to see that bird die! Which is what would have happened, but Hammond and Greg Moring hiked down to the fallen bird, wrapped it in towels, and handed it off to Gary Landers, who operated a raptor rehabilitation facility near Sisters at the time. Landers kept it under observation for 10 days, made sure it was healthy, then a team of climbers re-nested the chick alongside its sibling, who seemed glad to have him back. Both chicks continued to grow without further incident and fledged later in June. The Land Trust has closed this area for protection’s sake until the end of the nesting season. With that, if you want to follow Petra’s “pregnancy” (she has laid two eggs and she and Rocky take turns incubating), head to the Golden Eagle cam site. As far as we know, this is the only Golden Eagle cam in the western hemisphere (there are two more in Europe). Then, if you would like to support this privilege, click the “donate” button to help reimburse their expenses.

Perhaps you, too, have a love of flowers, and like me, you enjoy crafting cocktails. And maybe you’re wanting to know a little more about the flowers around you. I wrote “The Flower-Infused Cocktail” book as a love letter to flowers and an ode to the appreciation of blooms beyond the vase. It’s the flower lover’s favorite book with a fresh take on traditional mixology, infusing the taste of over 60 different edible flowers with history and folklore.

s spring begins to bloom, we’re greeted with delightful flowers unfurling their petals after a long winter’s rest. Forsythia, Oregon grape, cherry blossom, black locust and lilac are a few of my edible spring favorites you’ll find popping up in Central Oregon. But there’s no spring flower as charming in my opinion as the sweet violet. With their delicate and distinctive fragrance, they are among some of my most favorite flowers. A woodland fixture, violets can be found dotting forest floors or popping up in shaded gardens or lawns. In the wild they are found in many different shades of blue, purple, yellow and white. This recipe, Aviator Glasses, swaps in tequila for the gin from an enchanting and understated classic Prohibition-era cocktail called The Aviation. It becomes an entirely different experience, yet equally as alluring.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): To provide the right horoscope, I must introduce you to three new words. The first is “orphic,” defined as “having an importance or meaning not apparent to the senses nor comprehensible to the intellect; beyond ordinary understanding.” Here’s the second word: “ludic,” which means “playful; full of fun and high spirits.” The third word is “kalon,” which refers to “profound, thorough beauty.” Now I will coordinate those terms to create a prophecy in accordance with your astrological aspects. Ready? I predict you will generate useful inspirations and energizing transformations for yourself by adopting a ludic attitude as you seek kalon in orphic experiments and adventures.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I love your steadfastness, intense effort, and stubborn insistence on doing what’s right. Your ability to stick to the plan even when chaos creeps in is admirable. But during the coming weeks, I suggest you add a nuance to your approach. Heed the advice of martial artist Bruce Lee: “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini-born basket-

ball coach Pat Summitt won Olympic medals, college championships, and presidential awards. She had a simple strategy: “Here’s how I’m going to beat you. I’m going to outwork you. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.” I recommend that you apply her approach to everything you do for the rest of 2022. According to my analysis, you’re on course for a series of satisfying victories. All you have to do is nurture your stamina as you work with unwavering focus and resilient intelligence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In Britain, 70 percent of the land is owned by one percent of the population. Globally, one percent of the population owns 43 percent of the wealth. I hope there’s a much better distribution of resources within your own life. I hope that the poorer, less robust parts of your psyche aren’t being starved at the expense of the privileged and highly functioning aspects. I hope that the allies and animals you tend to take for granted are receiving as much of your love and care as the people you’re trying to impress or win over. If any adjustments are necessary, now is a favorable time to make them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): TV show creator Joey Soloway says, “The only way things will change is when we’re all wilder, louder, riskier, sillier, and unexpectedly overflowing with surprise.” Soloway’s Emmy Award-winning work on Transparent, one of the world’s first transgender-positive shows, suggests that their formula has been effective for them. I’m recommending this same approach to you in the coming weeks, Leo. It will help you summon the extra courage and imagination you will need to catalyze the necessary corrections and adjustments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain,” wrote mythologist Joseph Campbell. I don’t think his cure is foolproof. The lingering effects of some old traumas aren’t so simple and easy to dissolve. But I suspect Campbell’s strategy will work well for you in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when extra healing powers are available. Some are obvious, and some are still partially hidden. It will be your sacred duty to track down every possible method that could help you banish at least some of your suffering and restore at least some of your joie de vivre.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You know who Jimi Hendrix was, right? He was a brilliant and influential rock guitarist. As for Miles Davis, he was a Hall of Fame-level trumpeter and composer. You may be less familiar with Tony Williams. A prominent

rock critic once called him “the best drummer in the world.” In 1968, those three superstars gathered in the hope of recording an album. But they wanted to include a fourth musician, Paul McCartney, to play bass for them. They sent a telegram to the ex-Beatle, but it never reached him. And so the supergroup never happened. I mention this in the hope that it will render you extra alert for invitations and opportunities that arrive in the coming weeks—perhaps out of nowhere. Don’t miss out! Expect the unexpected. Read between the lines. Investigate the cracks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Anne Carson claims that “a page with a poem on it is less attractive than a page with a poem on it and some tea stains.” I agree. If there are tea stains, it probably means that the poem has been studied and enjoyed. Someone has lingered over it, allowing it to thoroughly permeate their consciousness. I propose we make the tea-stained poem your power metaphor for the coming weeks, Scorpio. In other words, shun the pristine, the spotless, the untouched. Commune with messy, even chaotic things that have been loved and used.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian author Martha Beck articulated the precise message you need to hear right now. She wrote, “Here is the crux of the matter, the distilled essence, the only thing you need to remember: When considering whether to say yes or no, you must choose the response that feels like freedom. Period.” I hope you adopt her law in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. You should avoid responses and influences that don’t feel liberating. I realize that’s an extreme position to take, but I think it’s the right one for now. Where does your greatest freedom lie? How can you claim it? What shifts might you need to initiate? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’m glad you have been exploring your past and reconfiguring your remembrances of the old days and old ways. I’m happy you’ve been transforming the story of your life. I love how you’ve given yourself a healing gift by reimagining your history. It’s fine with me if you keep doing this fun stuff for a while longer. But please also make sure you don’t get so immersed in bygone events that you’re weighed down by them. The whole point of the good work you’ve been doing is to open up your future possibilities. For inspiration, read this advice from author Milan Kundera: “We must never allow the future to collapse under the burden of memory.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian historian Mary Frances Berry offered counsel that I think all Aquarians should keep at the heart of their philosophy during the coming weeks. She wrote, “The time when you need to do something is when no one else is willing to do it, when people are saying it can’t be done.” I hope you trust yourself enough to make that your battle cry. I hope you will keep summoning all the courage you will regularly need to implement its mandate. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What’s the leading cause of deforestation in Latin America? Logging for wood products? Agricultural expansion? New housing developments? Nope. It’s raising cattle so people everywhere can eat beef and cheese and milk. This industry also plays a major role in the rest of the world’s ongoing deforestation tragedy. Soaring greenhouse gas emissions aren’t entirely caused by our craving for burgers and milk and cheese, of course, but our climate emergency would be significantly less dramatic if we cut back our consumption. That’s the kind of action I invite you to take in the coming months, Pisces. My analysis of astrological omens suggests that you now have even more power than usual to serve the collective good of humanity in whatever specific ways you can. (PS: Livestock generates 14.5 percent of our greenhouse gases, equal to the emissions from all cars, trucks, airplanes, and ships combined.)

To be human is to err. And err. And err. Personally, I have clogged somebody’s toilet, shattered an expensive, um, vase (“Nooo... not Nana’s ashes!”), and knocked a guy’s red wine the length of a white-on-white living room. In my defense, not all at the same party. You can’t really control what happens to you -- and if you’re as graceful as I am, you can’t really control what you do. What you can control is how you react: whether you “shy away” from public life or put on a brave face, hoping somebody in your circle gets arrested for bestiality and bumps you from the top of the social newsfeed. Researchers have spent decades squabbling over how shyness should be defined, and they have yet to agree on a definition. However, shyness, to some extent, is a super-light shade of “social anxiety disorder”: a debilitating fear of being “negatively evaluated” by others -- deemed disgusting, stupid, ugly, weird, or otherwise rejection-worthy -and then being publicly humiliated and socially deleted. Social anxiety sufferers, desperate to avoid the eyeballs and judgment of others, live shrunken lives. Parties, meetings, and classes are often out of the question, as are situations requiring “public speaking” (like the coffee line, with the ever-looming danger of being asked “You next?”). Though you’re merely shy -- meaning you probably just dread and sometimes duck out of parties or talking with strangers -- it’s important to reflect on whether your shyness is standing between you and the life you want -- or...whether it is (or has been) a good thing. That question -- about the possible benefits of shyness -- might sound a little nuts (though it’s anything but). Answering it requires exploring shyness from an evolutionary perspective: Why might shyness have evolved -that is, what might’ve been its function in an ancestral environment? Now, maybe you’re grumbling, “Ancestral environment?! Who cares

In ancestral times, getting booted from your hunter-gatherer band meant going it alone in a horribly harsh environment, millennia before DoorDash -or doors. If you didn’t starve to death, you might become the brunch entree for Mr. and Mrs. Tiger. Deeply unpleasant -and a big dead end for your genes. That’s where our emotions -- including feelbad ones like fear and anxiety -- come in. Psychiatrist and evolutionary researcher Nesse 5k, 10k,Randy 1/2 marathon explains that our emofor kids tions Little are fry motivational tools, driving us to behave in ways that help us survive and pass on our genes. For example, he observes that “People develop a fear of heights after a fall” -- killing the appeal of skydiving, rock climbing, and other sports with a concerning, shall we say, splat rate. Along with our ancestral history, your personal history has shaped your behavior. At some point, it was probably “adaptive” -- functional, protective -- for you to duck and cover; for example, if, like me, you were a little kid bullied by bigger, older girls. (“Out of sight; out of beatdown.”) But...does it make sense now to keep ducking and covering? It’s unlikely there are giant meangirls (or other childhood “monsters”) lying in wait for you. Plus, your adult “neighborhood” is vastly bigger than your childhood one: filled with new friends to make, should the ones you have give you the shove. Changing a habit is seriously hard -but doable. It takes repeatedly behaving as the person you want to be. Scary -- maybe even terrifying -- but here’s a tip: You might feel shy, but you don’t have to act shy. As I wrote in “Unf*ckology”: “Your feelings are not the boss of you.” (Just because you have a feeling “doesn’t mean you have to go all ‘Yes, your lordship!’ in response.”) We tend not to unpack our fears -ask ourselves, “Yo, Self? What’s the worst that could happen if I go say hi to Hot Strangerdude?” Unless you can truthfully answer, “I’ll be snatched up and pecked to death by a pterodactyl!” there’s really no good reason not to take the plunge. Nobody’s liked by everybody, but let’s be real: Contrary to your worst fears, other guests at the cocktail party aren’t waiting for you to leave so they can compare notes on how stupid you look trying to eat a mini quiche.

Condos and Townhomes

What you should know about easy living residential units that are housed within a larger building. A condo owner may share two walls, a ceiling and/or floor with an adjoining owner. Townhome owners may enjoy more privacy than condo owners. There will always be restrictive rules and regulations that govern townhomes and condos, typically stricter for condominiums. This may appeal to you as a buyer, if you enjoy predictability and uniformity where you live. If you're considering purchasing a condo or townhome, you should definitely review the CCRs that apply and budget for dues. This is where a trusted realtor and/or attorney comes into play. They can help go over the rules and regulations with you to see if your lifestyle “fits” the development. You will want to confirm parking location and availability and number of stalls. Here in Central Oregon, be sure that snow removal is covered, as well. If you have pets, there may be restrictions on size and number. Some developments may include additional noise restrictions which could affect entertaining and family visits. Confirmation of storage availability and restrictions is also advised. Finally, buyers will want to confirm the bottom line on dues, whether they are paid monthly, quarterly or annually. Keep in mind that dues also may be increased from time to time. If you have decided that condo or townhouse ownership appeals to you, you are not alone. There are many options here in Central Oregon for buyers like you who want to spend less time on home maintenance and more time out on the slopes or trails!

Not all homebuyers wish to take on all the maintenance and responsibility of single-family home ownership. Whether you are simplifying your life, travel often, or just desire to live in a closer-knit community, condominiums and townhomes may be appealing. There are several similarities: Both a condo or townhome will have at least one shared wall with another unit. And, in contrast to an apartment, the buyer will own the condo or townhome unit itself. The primary difference between a condo and townhome is the extent of ownership. When you purchase a condominium, you own your individual unit and share joint ownership of the building. Joint ownership includes the building structure itself and common areas. Condo owners do not own the underlying land, and will be subject to restrictions on changing the exterior – doors, windows, paint and even landscaping. Condominium developments are managed by an association, and monthly dues will cover the costs (plus a reserve) of keeping everything functioning and appearing uniform. Townhomes are more like a cross between a single-family home and a condo. You personally own the structure and the land it sits on. Townhomes are typically two or three stories in height and share walls with nextdoor properties, but unlike a condo, a townhome will not be part of a larger apartment-style building. Restrictive covenants may disallow exterior changes, but a townhome buyer usually has more flexibility and a greater extent of ownership of the property itself. Privacy also may differ. While some condominiums could be structurally similar to a townhome, many are
