If time is money, Deschutes County Commissioners may care less about yours than they say they do

ost people have heard the phrase, “time is money.” If that is true, it might follow that people who profess to be “fiscally responsible” would take the time—and the time of others—into consideration when attempting to be fiscally responsible. In the case of the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, it appears that the phrase only applies when they want it to. Two recent events demonstrate that at least some Commissioners feel justified spending all the time in the world on items that butt up against their ideology. One pertains to the Commission’s slow and inconsistent handling of committee appointments. The other pertains to the Commission’s recent attempt to adopt new, stricter regulations on recreational marijuana grows in the County. As far back as December 2017, Eileen Kiely submitted her first application for a seat on the County’s Audit Committee. Following an interview process, the Audit Committee recommended her for the position in February 2018. It’s a position that seems well-suited for Kiely, a former executive for Daimler-Chrysler, who’s also the Democrat who ran against Jack Zika in the House District 53 race this past November. Meeting notes from February 2018 indicate Commissioners had some questions about whether, should Kiely have won the House 53 race, the Audit Committee position would stand in conflict with the House position. In any case, she didn’t win the House race, and the Commission appointed another person for the Committee spot in June 2018. This November—after the election was completed and Kiely had lost— another spot opened on the Audit Committee. Kiely applied again, and in December, the Audit Committee once again recommended appointing her. Despite the fact that committee members had twice recommended Kiely, Commissioner Phil Henderson stated, according to meeting notes, “he’d prefer a bigger pool” of candidates, and that the appointments should wait until the new commissioner, Patti Adair, came on board in January. Three people were in the running for the Audit Committee spot at that time. In January, with Adair now on board, the Commission once again addressed committee appointments, approving two people to serve on the Fair Board during that meeting. A total of three positions were open, with nine candidates in the running—or a ratio of one spot to three

candidates. On the Audit Committee appointment, however, Henderson recommended opening up the candidate pool once again, saying he felt there were not enough candidates to choose from. There were three candidates, including Kiely. Meeting notes indicate that Commissioner Tony DeBone reminded the Commission that the Audit Committee had already made a recommendation—of Kiely— yet Adair and Henderson both voted in favor of opening up the pool once again. DeBone voted against. The Audit Committee serves a pivotal role of oversight in internal as well as external audits for the County, and it appears the Committee itself has seen value in appointing Kiely. Yet the two more ideological members of the all-Republican Commission would rather waste valuable time— and hence, money—in seeking a wider pool. This smacks of partisan politicking. As of now, the Audit Committee is still down a member. Meanwhile, on Feb. 28, these same County Commissioners moved to revise their recently revised regulations surrounding recreational marijuana grows in the county. Legal experts cried foul on this one long ago: The County’s new regulations, adopted in November, were too strict and would run afoul of Oregon’s Right to Farm Act, they said. “The Commissioners spent an outrageous amount of time and County resources in adopting the new regulations that they knew, from advice of County counsel and others, were not reasonable,” said Jennifer Clifton of Clifton Cannabis Law, who, on Feb. 13, filed a Petition for Review with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals on behalf of the Cascade Cannabis Association and the Deschutes County Farm Bureau, along with 10 other petitioners. Now, Commissioners are going back to the drawing board with their cannabis regulations—costing Deschutes County more valuable time, and money. This, from Commissioners who have promised to be responsible fiscal stewards for Deschutes County. Narrow-minded parochial politics at the any level of government is a waste of both time and money, but at the County level it is a particularly unpleasant sight. Unfortunately, it appears that Deschutes County residents will be getting an eyeful as this current County Commission indulges itself increasingly in meaningless and costly partisan gestures

WINTER TIPS FOR BEND DRIVERS

Thanks to Chris Miller for his article covering the challenges of parking downtown with all the fresh snow. I’d add the following tips: Please don’t just abandon your vehicle where you got it stuck, it’s your responsibility to move it to an appropriate place. And don’t even try to drive if your car isn’t up to the test. Please do a thorough job of cleaning your windscreen and windows, the little porthole you’ve cleared is unsafe and is a measure

of your laziness. For heavens sake, slow down, people! I know you think your big diesel truck or Audi sticks to the road like glue, but it doesn’t. Don’t count on the snowplows coming around your residential street, they probably won’t. Lastly, if the conditions are too burly for you, consider moving (back) to a lower latitude.

WOMEN’S ISSUE

The women’s issue? Please. The Bend community needs the weekly Source’s “Women’s Issue” like Venezuela needs a week of fasting. Why is a women’s issue necessary? Implicit is the false notion that women are inferior and need a boost. Of course, the issue portrayed the usual sparkling view of women and all things feminine. Women have become a protected group that is safe from criticism lest you be labeled a misogynist. The celebration of women (eg. women’s awards, women’s marches, celebrating girls in sport) mostly by other women, is wearying and overdone these days. There is no need for a “Women’s Issue” while the influence and power of women is growing at a dizzying rate. Representation for women has been gained and respect achieved. An example: women make up 58 percent of all college undergraduates (maybe it’s time for “Take your Son’s to Work Day”). As well: consider the advances women have made under Title 9, look at all the women recently elected to Congress and all the candidates for president from the Democratic Party. Women, these days, are portrayed by the media as smarter, kinder and cooler than men. Men, especially white men, are Homer Simpson-like dupes, arrogant, sex-obsessed and selfish (see your weekly Amy Alkon column). It’s become a liability to be a straight, white older male (Joe Biden beware). The bandwagon is sagging under the weight of this trendy disdain for men. The Source cooking up a “Women’s Issue” prepared by a multitude of well-intentioned chefs is inedible. It feeds the cliched idea of the oafish, overweight, bumbling, inferior male—increasingly prevalent throughout society these days.

Who ordered the snow? Great shot at Smith Rock from @art_of_adventures!

This glorification of women has run me down. The Source (and other media outlets) needs to widen their lens, soften their stance. I submit it’s time for females to stop tallying up resentments toward men and promote not preferential but equitable opportunity for both genders. —Rick Burns

PS: Lest readers make snap judgments about me based on the above sentiment concluding I am a MAGA hat- wearing, wall- building misogynistknow that I am an old lefty, a liberal, pro-choice Democrat with a cat named Chairman Meow who despises our inept and corrupt president.

mentions an existing “influence and power” of women, maybe he’s referring to white women, who attend and graduate college at rates on par with white men— yet not the case for women of color. The achievement and gender pay gaps are real, and it's a gaping gap for women of color. It's true that the House has the largest contingent of women everat nearly 25 percent women. Since when is 25 percent parity?! Charles, when you pick up your gift card, maybe treat Rick to a coffee to talk about how equity for women—and especially women of color—doesn’t equate to a “trendy disdain for men.” Nowhere in our Women’s Issue did we denigrate men. Respect can and does go two ways. —Nicole Vulcan

IN RESPONSE TO WOMEN’S ISSUE

Women’s power and influence is growing, but that’s a good thing. It’s nowhere near what it is in Scandinavia. Until the Senate is near 50 percent, and that’s a long way off, I support the movement. Half our population and brain power should be taken advantage of. It’s no accident that the more gender equality there is in politics, the better managed a country usually is. —Charles Godefroy

As ministers in the United Methodist Church, our hearts break this week at news that our parent denomination—by a narrow margin—has voted to double-down on its ban on same-sex marriages and the ordination of queer clergy. The Jesus about whom our sacred texts tell us goes out of his way to accompany and love people, especially those who are held in suspicion by the mainstream culture. We believe our call as Christians is to place ourselves firmly alongside anyone experiencing exclusion or oppression, for it is in those relationships—in that solidarity—that we find the deepest Love. Unfortunately, Christians get this wrong too often. There is much to repent for. We lament that the LGBTQ+ community has been debated and threatened. We lament that queer folx have had their marriages and vocations questioned or invalidated. We lament that too often churches have not offered the cover and protection that our queer siblings long for and deserve. There are hundreds of Methodist congregations around the world, as well as two here in our community—Bend Church United Methodist and Story Dwelling—that are committed to the hard work of allyship and inclusion. Our congregations are committed to loving and being led by people in the LGBTQ+ community, and this latest news only cements our convictions. If you are queer and you are reading this, we want to say, loud and clear: you are loved by God, and you are loved by us.

The Struggles of Snowmaggedon WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 7, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

For most people, late-season storms meant hassles with driving and shopping. For some, however, it was a battle to survive By Chris Miller

ake a look outside right now and chances are the evidence is still there: Bend received record-setting snowfall in February, getting nearly 46 inches during the month. That set a new record, according to the National Weather Service. Bend’s previous record for the month of February was 23.3 inches, set in 1917. February was also the third-coldest on record for Bend and the second-wettest, according to NWS. Bend’s average temperature was 27 degrees—7.2 below average—with average lows at 17.9 degrees, or 8.1 degrees below normal. The snow and the low temperatures caused ongoing irritations including driving issues and school and governmental closures. But for people experiencing homelessness, harsh winter weather has the potential to be fatal.

Sagewood Sanctuary, Bend’s only “low-barrier” homeless shelter, was at full capacity during last week’s storm, according to Sally Pfeifer, who runs Pfeifer & Associates—a facility offering drug and alcohol treatment support and other support for some of the area’s most vulnerable, and also owns the building where Sagewood is located. Sagewood can take in 21 people each night, Pfeifer said. The clients they take in are the ones who aren’t allowed elsewhere because of issues like undesirable behavior at other shelters, addiction or mental health issues, or because they have pets. Bethlehem Inn is another homeless shelter in Bend that provides beds, food and case management services for adults and children experiencing homelessness in Central Oregon. Bethlehem

said on its Facebook page on Feb. 26 that it’s out of snow gloves, hats, scarves and handwarmers and is very low on thermal socks. Bethlehem Inn’s website has a Current Needs tab for people interested in donating. Shepherd’s House Ministries— which operates an emergency shelter in Redmond—said on its Facebook page that they housed 122 overnight guests at its five facilities on Feb. 25— more than they’d ever served before. Shepherd’s House said they still need donations, but said on March 3 that the community donated nearly $10,000 in a two-day period. Meanwhile, Central Oregon Veteran’s Outreach has been maintaining a current list of shelters on its Facebook page, including those in La Pine, Sisters and Redmond—where a temporary shelter moves among various churches. Pfeifer said donations of goods and money to support the staff at Sagewood can also be helpful. “We had a wonderful woman drop off gift bags yesterday,” Pfeifer told the Source Feb. 28. “Each had two bottles of water, a pair of amazing socks, a protein shake and two candy bars. The residents were very grateful.” Pfeifer said she saw three things during last week’s storm that made her feel shocked and humbled. “What I witnessed last night was first, a young man in such a state of anxiety

that he could barely make speech and breath,” Pfeifer said. “When I gave him a gift pack provided by that sweet woman earlier, he cried. “Next, a woman brought in with her dog from Cooley Road from the cops and search and rescue,” Pfeifer said. “When she removed her socks, her toes were blue and black. Paramedics came and took her to the hospital. The dog, Penny, is still with us. “Last, as I was driving away down our alley, a man was on the ground pulling his body to the shelter as he didn’t have use of his legs,” Pfeifer said. “How far had he come? Who else saw him doing this? I feel like I live in some Third World country instead of rich Bend, Oregon.” Sagewood—which is Bend’s only approved warming shelter—opens at 8pm on freezing nights, closing again at 7am the following morning. For people interested in donating, Sagewood is located inside Pfeifer & Associates at 23 NW Greenwood Ave., in Bend. “We need a large facility where we can house people at night and drop in during the day for connection with services,” Pfeifer said. “Most landlords won’t rent to us. If we want to make an impact, this is a start, followed by housing with employees providing support services to get people working and functioning in our community.”

DA’s Office Seeks Budget Increase By Chris Miller

eschutes County District Attorney John Hummel is making a big ask for staffing during this year’s budget setting. In a letter to the Deschutes County Budget Committee, dated March 4, Hummel said the department needs an increase of 12 full-time employees in order to provide full prosecution services in the county. Hummel said if the budget committee—overseen by the County Commissioners—chooses not to authorize the additional positions, “then to represent the State well in cases involving homicides, sexual assaults, domestic violence, robberies and impaired driving, I would reluctantly have to eliminate other services we provide to the public.” If Hummel’s budget is denied, he said starting July 1, his office would no longer pursue prosecutions in cases of misdemeanor driving while suspended, crimes eligible for the County’s early disposition program, all Class B and C misdemeanors—except domestic violence, child sex abuse and crimes against law enforcement—nor violations of probation—except cases involving violence against a person or a downward departure from a prison sentence. Hummel said the DA’s office would also have to stop training students in the Central Oregon police officer reserve academy, end victim assistance to people seeking restraining orders or victims

of misdemeanor physical violence— with the exception of domestic violence cases—and end assistance to people applying for the address confidentiality program. Hummel said his office would no longer provide the accommodation of police officer vacations while sched-

“This is the effect of being short staffed: I can’t keep a work/life balance, I’m constantly stressed and overwhelmed, I just finished up a 20-minute crying session in my office, I’m irritable, depressed, exhausted and on the verge of tears most days (but don’t have the energy to actually cry.)... I used to be a positive outgoing person but this workload has basically crushed my spirit.” —DESCHUTES COUNTY DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY uling trials, the Victim Impact Panel that educates people on the dangers of impaired driving and follow up efforts to collect restitution information from victims of crime. Over the past six months, Hummel said he and his staff conducted a comprehensive review of the office’s staffing structure. The conclusion: Morale is

depressed, exhausted and on the verge of tears most days (but don’t have the energy to actually cry.) ...I used to be a positive outgoing person but this workload has basically crushed my spirit.” Hummel offered three sources of funding in his letter to the County. He said the County General Reserve Fund is larger than it has ever been. In fund year 2014,

for example, the fund sat at $640,000. In 2018, it was $10.5 million and projected to be $11.6 million for 2019. The DA said the county receives more than $300,000 from the state as a portion of the tax proceeds from marijuana sales. Hummel also said the county receives nearly $7 million annually in Transient Room Taxes, and after distribution to the Sheriff’s Office, Central Oregon Visitors Association, Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center, and the Sunriver service department, there is a $427,000 reserve balance. Even though Hummel’s done some of the funding legwork, it’s not yet clear whether the budget committee will see those as opportunities to staff up in the DA’s office. (Editor’s note: Hummel introduced this information at a press conference March 6, as this issue hit stands. As a result, the Source was unable to consult Commissioners on their reactions to the staffing analysis before press time.) At least one sitting commissioner has expressed a desire to cut the County’s overall budget. During Vice-Chair Patti Adair’s campaign endorsement interview at the Source, Adair said she would look to cut the County’s budget in a quest for “fiscal responsibility.” Although she didn’t directly answer questions about where she would look to make budget cuts, she did make vague statements about the salaries of current county employees. Hummel specifically asked for four deputy district attorneys, two trial assistants, one office manager, two victim advocates, one victim advocate technician, one administrative support person and one paralegal. “We achieve our mission of Community Safety and Justice through our people,” Hummel said in his letter. “We don’t have heavy equipment, we don’t build things, we have the bare minimum hardware and software, and we have few vehicles. What we have are people who work their tails off every day (and many nights and weekends) to keep our community safe."

John Hummel says without staffing increase, services such as victim assistance programs could be eliminated

low, turnover is high, the work product is compromised and the staff's ability to keep the community safe is at risk. According to Hummel’s letter, last year, 42 percent of the attorneys and 18 percent of the trail assistants resigned, compared to the 10 percent resignation rate countywide. “I don’t think I’ve lost any motions or trials because I was underprepared (either due to good facts or taking work home); however, I’m losing it emotionally and physically,” a deputy district attorney wrote Hummel in response to Hummel’s request for specific examples of how understaffing negatively impacted their work.” “This is the effect of being short staffed: I can’t keep a work/life balance, I’m constantly stressed and overwhelmed, I just finished up a 20-minute crying session in my office, I’m irritable,

Ascending to Nationals

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 7, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A local kid sets her sights on competing in world championships in the sport of bouldering By Peter Madsen

Mira Capicchioni won the Female Youth category at Nationals in February.

n a recent snowy afternoon, climber Mira Capicchioni warmed up inside the Bend Rock Gym with a handful of her teammates from Bend Endurance Academy’s climbing program. They hung around the bouldering section of the gym, which features diverse climbing terrain peppered with color-coded plastic holds and “volumes,” or larger features. After watching her friends tackle various “problems”—the climbing parlance for a bouldering route—Capicchioni attached herself to one assigned an advanced V9 difficulty ranking. Capicchioni twisted and contorted, working herself up the wall. Sometimes she crimped her fingertips; other times, she splayed her fingers wide to grip car bumper-shaped holds. After reaching the top of the route, about 15 feet high, she dropped to the pad, landing on her feet. Capicchioni had just “flashed” the route, or completed it on her first try. “Whoa, nice job, Mira,” a nearby climber hollered as several others clapped. Flashing problems, along with “on-sighting” them — or conquering them in the first go without analyzing

Lisa Capicchioni

them first—is becoming Capicchioni’s calling card. At the USA Climbing Bouldering Youth National Championship, held at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond in February, Capicchioni, 13, cinched the Female Youth B category—which includes 13 and 14 year olds—with 75 points, .2 points ahead of the second-place finisher. Capicchioni sent three perfect ascents in the final round, requiring about 10 moves each. The 8th grader at Cascade Middle School, whose Italian last name is pronounced cap-i-key-oh-knee, just finished a perfect season with first-place finishes in her category. Capicchioni will travel to the International Federation of Sport Climbing Youth World Championships in Arco, Italy, this August as a member of the U.S. Youth National Bouldering Team, competing in the female youth B boulder category. Meanwhile, Nathaniel Perullo, 10, also a member of BEA’s climbing program, snagged a second place finish in the final round of the Bouldering Youth Nationals’ male youth D category, which includes climbers 10 and under. The B category is the youngest category at the world championships.

“I was just super excited and also kind of nervous,” said Capicchioni. “I’ve never been to a world championship.” While her easy humility belies her raw passion for climbing, her muscular arms allude to the time she spends on the wall and lifting weights. At this practice, Capicchioni and her teammates enjoyed a laid-back session, since many had worn their arms out shoveling after Bend’s recent historic snowfall.

From trees to bouldering problems

Capicchioni began climbing when she was 8. Her mother, Lisa Capicchioni, had previously worked as an outdoor guide and educator for public and private schools in Los Angeles County. Often leading field trips to Joshua Tree National Park, rock climbing was part of her job description. “I was always up on the top of a tree,” Mira said. “I was always jumping from one thing to another in parks and stuff. I guess it wasn’t too surprising.” A trip to visit extended family in Portland, in which Mira and her cousin were “climbing everything,” made plain

her passion for climbing. A neighbor boy, who competed in youth climbing events, encouraged Mira. “Their son was like, ‘You should be climbing,’” Lisa said with a laugh. Mira’s mom began by showing her the basics of bouldering at Joshua Tree. Before Mira joined Bend Endurance Academy’s climbing program at age 10, she was the only one of her friends who climbed and only one of two female climbers in the program, she said. Attending practices, split between BEA’s four bouldering walls and Bend Rock Gym, was eye-opening. “Everyone was doing really amazing things,” Capicchioni said. “You were doing things with other people, and you could challenge yourself.” Soon, girls older than Capicchioni joined BEA. High school sports tend to direct some youth climbers’ attention away from the wall—but not Capicchioni, whose only other sports are snowboarding and Nordic skiing. Among professional climbers, Capicchioni admires the low-key, quickto-laugh nature of Alexandra Johnson, a 29-year-old pro and two-time World Cup gold medalist. She finds Johnson a

FEATURE useful reference for maintaining composure at climbing competitions. “It’s really just fun to watch her. She’s always happy no matter what outcome happens,” Capicchioni said. “Other (competitors) will just focus on the route, but Alex will turn around and laugh if she does something funny.” Mike Rougeux, BEA’s climbing director, encourages this sustainable stoke. He’s brought climbers to junior national competitions since the mid2000s, when he began coaching. This year, BEA took five qualifying climbers. Climbing’s growing popularity means junior national championships are now held in expo centers like Redmond’s. No longer can mere climbing gyms accommodate the onslaught of climbers and spectators, Rougeaux said. While the problems climbers encounter in competitions are set by official setters with USA Climbing, local climbers still enjoy a home court advantage as their climbing peers, friends and family members show up in droves to cheer them on. The adult bouldering championship was also held at Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in early February. Many youth climbers transfer a love of climbing trees to the problems at climbing gyms. Rougeux chuckled when he heard about an instance in which Perullo, while attending a gathering with his mother Nicole Perullo in their native California, climbed to the top of a 40-foot redwood tree. Nicole was less worried that Nathaniel couldn’t get down—she knew he could—than she was annoyed that he had worried some partygoers, said Yon Perullo, Nathaniel’s father. Nathaniel, a 5th grader at William E. Miller Elementary School, has

climbed since he was 7. While hiking, the family came onto a group of climbers who were bouldering above a protective crash pad. “I asked to do a boulder problem,” Nathaniel said. “They didn’t think I could do it. When I got to the top, they said I had to go to a climbing gym.” Yon soon brought his son to a gym where they lived in the Bay Area, and Nathaniel began competing soon after. Bend’s rock gym and proximity to Smith Rock State Park, a national climbing destination, were among the reasons for the family’s relocation to Bend in 2017.

USA Climbing, which counts about 12,000 members, has seen a 30-percent annual growth among members in recent years, according to the organization. “Kids are pretty natural at climbing,” Rougeux said. “Especially if they’re allowed the freedom to do it. It’s also a good way for kids to begin learning proper risk assessment, which doesn’t happen that much anymore when they’re just told yes or no.” Youth climbing competitions test kids’ natural abilities and technical skills as much as the ability to stay calm under pressure. Unlike running races, in which competitors usually clock consistent Yon Perullo

times, climbing competitions are far from predictable, Rougeux said. “With climbing, they could make one tiny mistake where their foot slips, and they go from first to sixth place,” Rougeux said. “You know (the kids) are capable, but they’re not shoo-ins.” The competitors at the Redmond competition advanced through a qualifying round of four bouldering problems and semi-final and final rounds featuring three problems each. Many attempts are made or broken by moves considered “high-risk,” not for the inherent danger, but for the technical skills needed to pull them off. Route setters separate the field by requiring these high-risk moves. During warm ups, Capicchioni’s presence was smooth and powerful, her coach said. “I was like, ‘Wow, she’s going to win. She’s just on.’” Rougeux said, noting how Capicchioni tackled each route in only one try. “The drama is: Are they going to keep the momentum going? There is no margin for error.” Rougeux says when he began coaching, climbing was enough of a fringe sport that a climber could do well in competitions by only having abilities that were “OK.” That bar has been subsequently raised by youth climbers like Perullo and Capicchioni, and the proliferation of climbing gyms and programs, like BEA’s, throughout the country. “The (competitor) pool is so wide now, climbers need to have a natural capability and, like any athlete, they have to be willing to put in the time and the work,” Rougeux said. “The talent will only take them so far.” Advancing to the final round in the National Championship was Capicchioni’s goal for the year. “I just went out there thinking whatever happens, happens,” she said.

10 Albums Deep

Over 20 years in the music industry and Seth Walker is still finding ways to grow By Isaac Biehl

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MARCH 7, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Josh Black Wilkins

If you catch Walker on tour, he’ll be playing “Are You Open?” in full.

anderlust is just one of the things Seth Walker mentions as an inspiration for him in music—and in life. On his latest and 10th studio album, “Are You Open?”, Walker channels the spirit of New Orleans. In addition, he says he used his time in Cuba as a way to push himself to places he’d never been musically. These opportunities for growth and evolution are ones Walker didn’t believe he’d get. When I asked him about it, I was positive I could feel him shaking his head on the other side of the phone. “No, I didn’t,” Walker laughs as he reminisces on his beginnings in music. “I’m very thankful. I started playing professionally when I moved to Austin in 1995 and I put out my first album in 1997. Just kickin’ around Austin, Texas, playing little gigs. I never thought I’d be 10 albums deep.” It’s not that Walker doubted himself, either. Instead, it’s what he calls having a little bit of tunnel vision, moving “note by note, song by song.”

Most people would call Walker a blues artist—which wouldn’t really be wrong. It’s just not fully crediting the span of his music. This is especially true for “Are You Open?” where he pulls together a Paul Simon-like collection of sounds.

how I like to gravitate or pull from wherever I’m swimming in.” One challenge of being this far into a career is that fear of becoming stagnant, going through the motions. After 20 years, Walker has found ways to keep pushing himself.

“Maybe somewhere deep down in there that had something to do with how I like to gravitate or pull from wherever I’m swimming in.” —SETH WALKER “A big part of maybe why my music is so stylistically sprawling... I grew up in a commune. In North Carolina I grew up in a Quaker commune,” recalls Walker. “I basically had two sets of parents and two sets of siblings. I always had a different perspective, or multiple perspectives. Maybe somewhere deep down in there that had something to do with

“There are times in my career where I have done exactly what you said. I have steered things and gone through the motions,” says Walker. “Even though I’ve written some songs that may be really good, but I don’t believe them. That’s the difference. Or at least a cup of juice I had with myself – like, ‘Hey man, you’re not getting

any younger. I know that. So you better believe what you say.’ If you don’t believe it, nobody will. It really has given me a fresh start.” Seth Walker House Concert

Don’t miss Twiddle lighting up The Domino Room March 13.

ecoming known for your live shows might be one of the highest compliments to receive as a musician. It’s a direct tribute to your skills on stage and the ability to connect with the audience. The band Twiddle happens to fall into that special category. Blending a plethora of genres together—including rock, reggae, bluegrass, funk and jazz—the band pours all of its energy into this melting pot of sounds. Simply put, Twiddle jams, man. Get to know a little more about the group with this Band Fact Sheet. Where they come from: Twiddle formed in Vermont at Castleton State College (now Castleton University) back in 2004 through a theater/ music class titled Acting I. This led to Ryan Dempsey and Mihali Savoulidis meeting – eventually both performing in that year’s musical for “Hair,” where Savoulidis played guitar and Dempsey played keyboard. Members: Ryan Demspey on keys, Brook Jordan on percussion, Mihali Savoulidis on guitar and Zdenek Gubb on bass. Each member offers up vocals, with Savoulidis on lead.

Songs to start with: “Amydst the Myst,” “When It Rains It Pours” and “The Catapillar.” Also check out the band’s “Live at House of Blues Boston” album to get a good taste of Twiddle’s energy on stage. Sounds Like: Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Dispatch, Blues Traveler. Random Internet Dig Fact: In an interview with AXS in 2016, Gubb told the story of making a batch of fake puke when he was younger. He stashed his concoction in a jacket then proceeded to go to a movie theater, headed up the balcony and fake threw up over the side onto people in the audience. The kicker? People started getting sick and throwing up on each other for real. Gubb said he “never felt so bad in my entire life.” Social Handles: Facebook @TwiddleMusicOfficial, Twitter @twiddlemusic, Instagram @twiddlemusic Twiddle w/ Special Guest Iya Terra Wed., March 13. 7:30pm-12:30am The Domino Room 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend bendticket.com $20/General admission, $100/VIP package

CULTURE

K.M. Collins

Putting the Dogs First

When it comes to sled dog racing, winning a prestigious Humanitarian Award is the marker of world-class canine care

distance and mid-distance races, starting at lengths of 150 to 200 miles. To win, racers have to do something extra in the interest of the dogs, clearly demonstrating the dogs always come first. This may even mean giving up the race. Veterinarians endorsed by the International Sled Dog Veterinary Medical Association determine the winners at each race, with an aim of actively promoting the well-being, welfare and safety of sled dogs. “They know exactly what to look for. This is a highly specialized role integral to the culture of sled dog racing,” explains Scdoris. Nick Lehr, who competed in the Tustumena 200, a race over Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, was the first to win the Humanitarian award this year, Scdoris said. “Him winning blew my mind a little bit. Nick was way back in the standings, it’s such a competitive race. He surprised me so much! This was his rookie

warming yourself first in the rest huts.” In addition to receiving the Humanitarian, Harris also finished second overall. A family tradition Scdoris is celebrating 42 years of sled dog tours, taking over 50,000 visitors on tours in Bend and Sunriver since 1979. He and his daughter, Rachael, have won the annual 25-mile race, happening the first weekend in March at Wanoga SnoPark, for many years. (This year’s race was rescheduled for March 15-17, due to an overabundance of snow.) Since retiring four years ago and passing the business to his daughter, Scdoris has raced in the International Rocky Mountain State Stop Race, always finishing in the top 10.

In this view from the sled, the team pulls passengers into a wintry landscape. K.M. Collins

“It’s the most rugged mountains, lots of up and down at 7,000 feet. But I knew he would take good care of the dogs. We trained them together since they were pups and it was to fulfill Harris’s dream.” Scdoris says there’s one rule in his business and in racing: Always take care of the dogs first. He believes that’s a basic rule of dog ownership, particularly in sled dog racing. So what sort of animal stewardship does it take to earn a Humanitarian? “If it’s super cool, Harris is constantly putting bag balm between the dog’s paws, so the snow won’t ball up in between their toes. At rest stops he’s constantly checking and massaging—he knows which dogs have a propensity to be hurt… thigh issue, muscle tightness.,” Scdoris said. “Harris works on dogs as a preventative thing. He gives the dogs lots of attention—he won’t even rest himself. This is a good way to draw the attention of the ISDVM, rather than

Rachael, meanwhile, is a four-time racer in the Iditarod, which earned her a Woman of the Year award from Glamour magazine in 2006. Since she’s legally blind, she also earned Nike’s Disabled Athlete of the Year award that same year. And while the Scdoris family has earned many accolades, ironically, they have not yet received their own Humanitarian award. Scdoris wants readers to remember two things about sled dogs: The bottom line is that the Humanitarian award demonstrates the socially responsible nature of the sport. Also, call them sled dogs, not dog sleds. Dog sleds don’t race—they just sit there!

race in the big time with elite racers— and he won the Humanitarian. I was so proud of him.” Next to win a “Humanitarian” was Gabe Dunham, racing 200 miles in the Eagle Cap Extreme outside Joseph, Ore. Dunham has a team of her own dogs, which she brought to Scdoris’ business as an experienced musher. “I felt the same about Gabe’s win. She was in the middle back. The Eagle Cap Extreme is really a tough race. It didn’t surprise me at all that she won.” Next up came Justin Harris, a fiveyear veteran of the MBSDR team, who won the award during the Idaho Challenge 150 near McCall, Idaho. Scdoris said he loaned Harris his dogs, something he’d never done before.

Well-cared-for sled dogs at Mt. Bachelor prepare to run their hearts out on the Trail of Dreams.

now blasts our faces as we race down the Trail of Dreams behind Sunrise Lodge with Mt. Bachelor Sled Dog Rides. Owner Rachael Scdoris can be heard from behind, naming each of the 10 dogs pulling our sled. She knows their likes and dislikes and marshals a list of the adoptive homes ready to pluck each one up when they retire. She encourages them to take breaks and gives positive affirmations when they relieve themselves mid-stride. The love this musher shows for her dogs is undeniable. It isn’t hard to see that the MBSDR staff provides top-notch care for their dogs. That’s why MBSDR Founder Jerry Scdoris was proud to hear that three staffers—one current and two former—had earned Humanitarian Awards during their respective races, held throughout the Pacific Northwest starting in late January.

Found object sculpture by CL McMullen.

taring in 2000, a unique, day-long, annual event began bringing artists together, creating things using only what they found at what was once Bend’s premiere junkyard wonderland, Pak-It. Pat Korish, owner of Pak-It, paired with Artists Local 101, a now-defunct nonprofit art group, to put on the event. The event was always held around Earth Day—a time of year that can bring almost any kind of weather. Artists were given spaces to work on and free range of Pak-It’s wonders to use to create art within a single day. It was part spectator event, part community gathering. The result would be a magnificent range of large sculptures, small 2D creations and a whole lot of fun. “The lovely thing that happened was that people would share materials, share tools, knowledge— that is the part of the artists’ community you don’t get when you work by yourself,” says CL McMullen, an originator of the event. Now, McMullen is working with ReStore to bring Trashformations back. For the past few years, ReStore has hosted Furniture Flip, an event in which local artists create an object from materials they find on the ReStore lot. The idea is to create working items that can be purchased during a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, showing

people how you can be innovative with discarded materials. Artists have a whole month to create their piece for Furniture Flip, a time frame that varies drastically from Trashformations. Trashformations also allows people to walk around and see the creative process in action, seeing how artists collaborate and troubleshoot in real time. “I think it is always great when people get to experience art directly in places outside of galleries and can interact with it. That was a big part of Artists Local 101 mission,” shared McMullen, who’s excited to already have an array of artists who will show up. Artists are still welcome to register for Trashformations, which takes place April 6. Finished pieces will be unveiled April 12 at ReStore’s Furniture Flip event.

A popular street food in Korea, bungeo-ppang, are fish-shaped pastries with either sweet or savory filling.

visit to Seoul, South Korea, inspired Yoonmee Chang Walsh and her husband Brandon Walsh to completely change the menu at EMW Fusion. Gone are the pandos, the Korean-style pancake sandwiches. “We were stuck with Pando,” said Chang Walsh. “We are creative people and we wanted to move onto something else. We were trying to find a way to update the menu.” Both come from creative backgrounds. Brandon Walsh is a graphic designer; Chang Walsh an apparel designer. The couple met in Seattle when they both worked for Unionbay Kids. When Brandon Walsh got a job at Nike, they moved to Portland and Chang Walsh worked for Columbia Sportswear. The couple hosted barbecue parties mixing Korean and Western flavors. Chang Walsh said, “It just grew and grew.” Some people even scheduled their vacations around it. “We got tired and quit our jobs, moved to Bend and bought a food truck,” said Chang Walsh. From pandos to fish pockets “OMG, I need to get this machine to Bend,” said Chang Walsh while visiting her mom in Seoul. A subway station had a fully automated dessert machine making small fish waffles filled with custard cream at the twist of a button. Those waffles are the fish-shaped bungeo-ppang—a popular street food in Korea. The name translates to “carp bread,” derived from the Japanese taiyaki, a

fish-shaped dessert made with pancake or waffle batter. Taiyaki literally means baked sea bream, the fish the shape is named after. The book, “Bungeoppang Has a Family Tree,” details how Korean bungeo-ppang started as a mix of Western waffles and Eastern dumplings, and how the Japanese taiyaki was an adaptation of Western waffles introduced in Japan in the 18th century. In both countries, red bean paste, made from sweetened azuki beans, is the most common filling. Chang Walsh found the Korean company that makes the automated bungeo-ppang machines and ordered one last year. The machine arrived in November. The company sent someone to help set it up and train the couple how to use it. The company rep also introduced them to a waffle iron machine that makes larger bungeo-ppang. “Brandon was really interested in it,” said Chang Walsh. “We weren’t sure if we wanted to do it on-truck. We did a tasting with friends and it went really, really well.” With that, the couple converted their food truck and bought more waffle iron machines. In February, the couple launched a new bungeo-ppang menu at the EMW Fusion food truck at The Podski on Arizona Avenue. The couple named their bungeo-ppang “fish pocket sandwiches,” but also refer to them as fish puffs or fish-wiches. The batter they use is not very sweet. It’s a Korean mix, with tapioca flour, so the fillings can

go either savory or sweet. In true Eastmeets-West fashion, fillings range from Korean bibimbap to American favorites including macaroni and cheese and pepperoni pizza. I tried a macaroni and cheese-filled fish puff, expecting a heavy treat because of the carb-oncarb action, but it was remarkably light. Comparing between pancakes and waffles, the fish pockets are closer to a waffle texture, but not as crispy. The fish pockets have the fun vibe of carnival food; happy food you can walk around and eat. The menu is divided into savory, vegetarian savory or sweet. Each fish-wich is $4. You’ll have to wait a little longer to see the automated custard-filled bungeo-ppang machine, as it’s getting painted now. Chang Walsh said they’ll cart the machine on a horse trailer to events. She’s excited to have people, “see, hear and smell it. That’s what I saw at the subway station in Seoul. It’s more interactive that just the food. It’s fun!” The little custard-filled fish puffs will come with chocolate or fruit dipping sauces. Bungeo-ppang has gained popularity in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, but right now, EMW Fusion is the only place in Oregon serving it.

Cookie and beer pairing at Bend Brewing Company.

t’s a match made in heaven for lovers of sweets and beer. On March 2, Bend Brewing Company held a Girl Scout Cookie and Beer pairing, donating a portion of the proceeds to the Girl Scouts of America and pairing six cookies with six beers. The first pairing: The classic Thin Mint cookie with a Coffee n’ Cream Blonde Ale. The mint calmed the coffee, and likewise, the coffee mellowed the mint, offering a lovely, velvety balance. The beer isn’t hoppy, and I highly recommend this beer for the first-time coffee beer drinker. It’s a 5 on the drinkability scale. The second pairing was the Caramel deLite—also known as the Samoa— paired with Trade Wars Export Stout, a foreign style stout, roasty and malty. The Samoa is my FAVORITE cookie. The sweet cookie cuts through the dark, rich roastiness of the beer. This beer is not for the faint of heart, so it’s a 3 on the scale. Next up: Peanut Butter Patties— also known as Tagalongs—paired with Stump Thumpin’ Brown ale with coffee. The peanut butter and chocolate overpowered the coffee in the beer, as the coffee is very subtle. The pairing was muddied a bit. A stout or porter would have paired better. On the other hand, this coffee beer with the Samoa was fantastic. The brown ale was rich and a touch bitter, so I give it a 4 on the scale.

For the fourth pairing, Bend Brewing Company’s famous Ching Ching sour ale was paired with the Shortbread— also known as the Trefoil, a delicious and buttery cookie. The beer is tangy and sweet and able to cut through the butter cookie. This was an awesome pairing. Go buy a box of Trefoils and a bottle of Ching Ching; you won’t be sorry. Ching Ching is a solid 3 on my drinkability scale, as it’s a true sour. If you already love sours, it’s a great beer, and has a low ABV at 4.5 percent. The fifth pairing was the Stubborn as a Mule beer with the Savannah Smiles cookie—both zesty and lemony. This beer is an experimental one inspired by the Moscow Mule cocktail. By itself, it’s too sweet, and the lime was a bit much, but with the cookie it was good. The cookie balanced the lime and allowed the mint and ginger to come through a bit. I give the beer a 3 on the drinkability scale. It’s a niche beer. The final pairing was the Girl Scout S’mores cookie alongside the Outback Amber Ale. I liked this combo. The cookie is a special edition this year, with two different types—one chocolate covered, one with chocolate on the inside. The beer is a malty amber ale and gets a 5 on the scale. Girl Scout Cookie time is always a special time of year, and this beer event added to the fun. I’ll be looking for it again in the future.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COMâ€‚/â€‚MARCH 7, 2019â€‚/â€‚BENDâ€™S INDEPENDENT VOICE

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL: If youâ€™re looking for fast-paced action layered throughout a fairly cool sci-fi story, this is your jam. If you expect a film to have a beginning, middle and an endâ€Ś avoid at all costs. A huge disappointment from Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX APOLLO 11: A fitting tribute to the 50-year anniversary of manâ€™s first steps on the moon, this documentary brings historical archives as well as never-before-seen footage to the big screen. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ARCTIC: Not to be confused with the other

Mads Mikkelsen hitman comedy, â€œPolar,â€? â€œArcticâ€? tells the story of a man stranded in the Arctic during a plane crash, who has to decide whether to chill by his makeshift camp or walk through the ice. Decent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

COLD PURSUIT: Liam Neeson once again stars in a movie in which he kills people with a particular set of skills, but â€œCold Pursuitâ€? is actually a remake of the darkly funny Danish thriller â€œIn Order of Disappearance.â€? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

COLD WAR: This Polish masterpiece is on every single top 10 of 2018 list. The film is at turns a sumptuous love story and a heartbreaking look at the barriers real and imagined that politics can create between us. Tin Pan Theater

EVERYBODY KNOWS: Written and directed by Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi (â€œA Separationâ€? & â€œThe Salesmanâ€?) and filmed in Spanish, this tense crime thriller starts with a kidnapping that threatens to reveal a familyâ€™s secrets and turns them against each other. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY: A surprisingly heartfelt look at siblings obsessed with auditioning for the WWE. From the mind of Stephen Merchant, the co-creator of the British â€œOffice,â€? this is a lovely look at family and wrestling. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub FREE SOLO: The Academy Award winner for Best Documentary follows climber Alex Honnold as he attempts a free solo climb of El Capitan in Yosemite. The amazing last doc by this creative team was the absolutely astounding â€œMeru,â€? chronicling the first ascent of the Sharkâ€™s Fin route of Meru Peak in the Himalayas. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema GREEN BOOK: A well-intentioned but tone-

deaf look at friendship and racism in the 1950s. While the movie isnâ€™t terrible, there are too many missed opportunities to give the movie a pass. But it won the Best Picture Oscar, so what do I know?!? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema, Odem Theater Pub

women is not at all what it seems in this dark and twisted thriller. The B-movie combination of campy dialog and crazy twists is rounded out by some A-list performances that will keep horror and thriller fans pinned to their seats. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U: This sequel to the

surprising horror hit from 2017 jettisons much of the horror in order to tell a twisty little sci-fi chiller. Way too much fun for its own good and beautifully acted by future mega-star Jessica Rothe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

STREAMING THIS WEEK

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD: A wonderful send-off to

Hiccup, Toothless and the land of Berk. If this makes a billion, theyâ€™ll surely make more in the series but, as it stands, this is the best final film in a trilogy weâ€™ve received in a very long time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema, Sisters Movie House

ISNâ€™T IT ROMANTIC: From the creative team behind the deconstructed horror comedy, â€œThe Final Girlsâ€? comes a deconstruction of the romantic comedy. Rebel Wilson stars as a cynic who hits her head and wakes up living inside a cheesy PG-13 romantic comedy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX NEVER LOOK AWAY: A historical drama

set in mid-century Germany, this powerful epic follows the life of a great artist through a wartorn 30 years of tragedy and hope. A celebration of beauty and love in the midst of darkness and fear, this mesmerizing film is a work of art itself. Tin Pan Theater

RUN THE RACE: An inspirational football

story about a teenager whose mother dies and father abandons him and works to get a scholarship to get himself and his brother a ticket out of town. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE: Itâ€™s back in the theater! If you didnâ€™t see it on the big screen the first time, the best animated film of last year returns to melt our eyeballs once again. Spider-Man the way he was always meant to be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

THE FAVOURITE: Such a weird and won-

derful movie about female friendships and horrifically unbalanced power dynamics. Olivia Coleman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone are captivating in this blissfully offensive and profane look at how hard it is to be queen. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part: The first Lego movie was the best ever cartoon based on a plotless series of connectable building blocks, and this one is a good one too. The voice actors are charming and the story hits all the right nostalgia buttons, so prepare to get some more ridiculous songs stuck in your head. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE UPSIDE: An American remake of the

lovely French film, â€œThe Intouchables,â€? starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston as a paraplegic and his new caretaker. If youâ€™ve seen the far superior â€œThe Intouchablesâ€? then you can avoid this one altogether, unless youâ€™re a Kevin Hart completist. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Odem Theater Pub

THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD: Visionary filmmaker Peter Jackson (â€œLord of the Ringsâ€?) takes WWI footage and colorizes it to create a vision of the Great War unlike anything ever seen. A genuinely haunting experience. Odem Theater Pub

TYLER PERRYâ€™S A MADEA FAMILY FUNERAL: The final film in the Madea series

(did you know he made 11 of these?) wraps up the franchise with its trademark blend of exuberantly crude humor and oddly heartfelt moments. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA:

Sergio Leoneâ€™s 229-minute crime masterpiece chronicles the life of Noodles, an upand-coming mobster in New York during the rise of gangsters. Played by Robert De Niro, and following Noodles from his childhood in 1920 to his golden years in 1968, this is what people are talking about when they use the word â€œepic.â€?

The space marines of "The Expanse" are returning to Amazon Prime.

dunno. I’ve realized (pretty quickly) since I moved to Bend in the fall of 1999 that I’m an indoor kid. Snowpocalypses are just not my thing. I like warm fires and melted cheeses and chocolates and don’t need to freeze first to enjoy them. This winter I’ve decided not to tussle with Jack Frost. Instead, I’m hibernating with my stories. Don’t judge me. It’s beautiful. Here’s a few of the things making winter a bit warmer.

Bingeworthy: I give Netflix so much love in this column and that’s just not fair. Honestly, Amazon Prime is crushing it with its original content. “The Expanse” was unjustly cancelled at SyFy last year, but luckily it’s Jeff Bezos’ favorite show and he has all the money ever, so it’s coming back for Season Four exclusively to Prime. It’s easily the best SciFi (or SyFy) show since “Battlestar

In Pod We Trust: Gimlet Media is responsible for some of the best podcasts of the last few years. “Homecoming” was a surprise smash (before turning into the show on Amazon starring Julia Roberts) and “Crimetown” is basically podcasting’s answer to “The Wire,” so Gimlet’s pretty on point. The new podcast documentary, “Conviction” looks to stand alongside the greats—if it manages to stick the landing. The show focuses on Manny Gomez, a private eye trying to get his teenage client out of Rikers Island. Picture HBO’s “The Night Of ” but actually happening in real life. Chilling stuff. If you want to think about people who were probably colder than you are, “The Shining 2:37” will make you remember how brutally cold it seemed at the Overlook Hotel. Host Suzen Tekla Kruglnska puts, in order, 2 minutes and 37 seconds of “The Shining” under a microscope. If you’re as fascinated by Stanley Kubrick and all of the conspiracy theories surrounding the film, then you’ll get sucked into this with no problem.

Jim Halpert as "Jack Ryan," also on Amazon Prime.

Galactica,” for what that’s worth. Also surprisingly good is the John Krasinski-led “Jack Ryan” show. The series itself is better than most of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan movies, such as “The Sum of All Fears” and “Clear and Present Danger” and—possible hot take— Krasinski has more depth as an actor than Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin or Ben Affleck. We get to see him transform from dorky analyst to CIA spy over the

entire first season and it’s pretty great. “Sneaky Pete” is also worth taking a look at, because Giovanni Ribisi and Margot Martindale are phenomenal actors and having a show in which everybody is lying to everybody else all of the time keeps things intense during even normal conversations. Add “Homecoming,” “Patriot,” and “Mozart in the Jungle” to the list of Prime must-sees and it’s starting to seem like Netflix should look over its shoulder.

PNW solo sea kayaker Susan Conrad links ocean and river conservation By K.M. Collins Susan Conrad

here she was, dodging grizzlies on the shoreline, sharp green seas marching toward her like angry soldiers, and cold, snotty water bitch-slapping the sides of her kayak. It was nine years ago when, for 66 days, Susan Conrad endured those conditions for 1,200 miles during her solo kayak tour of the Inside Passage. Weaving through archipelago islands like orange cones in an obstacle course, the coastal route took her from Anacortes, Wash., to her proverbial summit of Juneau, Alaska. As the final installment of a threepart winter speaker series jointly hosted by Coalition for the Deschutes and Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe, Conrad will give a presentation about her paddle pilgrimage at McMenamins Old Saint Francis School March 11. Conrad says, “I’m inspired by Coalition for the Deschutes’ outreach and advocacy efforts, and how they’ve collaborated with multiple local business and entities to bring their mission to fruition. It’s so much more powerful and effective having multiple pairs of

boots on the ground. “The word ocean is derived from the Greek word Okeanós which means a river circling the earth. I believe that all the water on our planet, as with all of life, is interconnected. Whether you are advocating for rivers or oceans or entire ecosystems, managing and protecting water is a global issue that starts with local measures. Knowing what we as individuals can do to actively make a difference with water conservation is critical.” Coalition for the Deschutes’ Co-founder and Director Gail Snyder says, “Conrad’s personal story of the sea and soul parallels the work of Coalition for the Deschutes… As a woman who cares deeply about, and is driven by, love of wild places, wildlife, the world we leave our grandchildren to and the seventh generation after them, Conrad offers hope that we have the power to dig deep, that we can speak our truth and transform our corners of the world.” Conrad says when she sat down to write the book about her journey, titled, “Inside: One Woman’s Journey Through the Inside

Passage,” she discovered that paddling was the easy part. Stringing words together to properly convey the experience was much more daunting. Preferring to sit in a wobbling kayak on the ocean than in a steady office chair made book writing exasperating and impossible at times. “Not even arduous 40-mile days, fierce head winds, or mountainous swell,” deterred her as much as the writing did, she said. After many years of self-inflicted procrastination, fears and doubts and other roadblocks, Conrad reached the proud day where she, “held the finished product in my hands. I laughed and cried and was almost in disbelief that I had this tangible thing that I could actually turn the pages on and read my own thoughts and feelings. I was a published author!” As a sneak peek to her presentation, here’s what Conrad wants people to know about pursuing holy-grail solo missions, on water or otherwise: “Lean into your goals with curiosity and believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. Explore your interest by asking lots of questions and reading lots of books. Find

a mentor and take professional instruction to become the best you can be. Be multidimensional. Incorporate environmental and conservation goals. Raise awareness and above all, have fun!” Her deepest hope for the presentation is it will kindle everyone’s sense of adventure—whether they set foot in a kayak or not. Conrad says 2020 will be the 10-year anniversary of her initial Inside Passage trip. Her natural conclusion is to do it again. Inside Passage, 2.0. Conrad notes, “It will be interesting to see differences in terms of the routes, how the Inside Passage has changed and how I’ve changed. I want to do it slower, with more exploratory side trips and I want to raise awareness of plastic pollution in our oceans. Stay tuned!” A Journey of the Sea and Soul with Susan Conrad

The Consequences of Deferred Maintenance

programs such as FHA, VA and USDA will not finance a property that has significant areas of peeling paint and exposed wood. As a buyer, deferred maintenance can also burden your budget. Not only do buyers have to think about a down payment and closing costs, but also about the additional cash or credit necessary to make repairs—something to consider when searching for homes. Sellers are required by Oregon law to disclose all known material facts regarding the property. This includes recent repairs, water damage and non-functioning systems. In addition to a home inspection, these disclosures provide the buyer with a history of the property and any potential structural/mechanical issues. When a buyer sees several items in disrepair or a history of repair issues, it can have a negative impact on the perceived value of the home. Also, obvious deferred maintenance items have an emotional impact on a potential buyer during a showing of a property. Buyers may feel as though the cost to make the repairs is more than you had estimated as a seller; thus, creating a large gap between the buyer’s perceived market value and the seller’s. I recommend making the appropriate repairs prior to listing a home for sale. This proactively addresses the potential issues that may arise in the negotiation process and may save thousands in the sale of a home.

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 10 / MARCH 7, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

When it comes to property, it pays to keep up with fixes eferred maintenance is the exercise of postponing repairs and regular maintenance on real property or personal property in order to save costs. More often than not, failing to perform necessary, preventative services or repairs will result in asset deterioration and will ultimately have a big impact on the value of a home and its ability to sell. Some of the most common forms of deferred maintenance I see are exterior paint and siding issues, improper service records for furnaces and A/C units, roofing issues and lack of maintenance on wood decking and failed caulking. As an example, experts recommend furnaces be serviced annually to maintain efficiency. I’ve spoken with several HVAC companies over the years and all agree that without regular maintenance, homeowners cut the furnace life in half. Another example is one that I dealt with on behalf of a buyer. The roof was a year over its shelf life and also had significant damage not addressed from the major snowstorms of 2017, causing the roof to be in even worse disrepair. This, coupled with myriad other deferred maintenance issues that arose during the home inspection, ended up costing the seller $25,000 off the list price. For buyers, depending on the type of financing they’re using, deferred maintenance may disqualify a home from being eligible to buy. A simple example of this would be exposed wood and peeling paint on the exterior of a home. Loan

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS A Hard Yuck Story

I’m a 34-year-old struggling comic. My girlfriend is a 29-year-old children’s therapist. We’ve been together for a year. She wants to move in with me, wants me to meet her parents -adult relationship stuff that I don’t feel ready for now. I love her, but I live in a studio without a kitchen. I don’t even have a car. As a man, I want to be a “provider” for the woman in my life. She doesn’t want to wait. —Don’t Wanna Lose Her

THE FIRST GOLF SHOW IN CENTRAL OREGON

On the upside, you aren’t without savings. There’s that jar with all the change that you take to the Coinstar twice a year. Your reluctance to be all “let’s move in together and start a life over my hot plate” probably comes out of how (according to cross-cultural research by David Buss and other evolutionary psychologists) women seem to have evolved to seek men with the ability to acquire resources—that is, to “provide.” Men coevolved to expect this—and feel they need to rise to the occasion in order to get (and retain) the ladies. In other words, you, as a man, are psychologically driven to feel unsettled when, in terms of sheer earning power, you’re just this side of living in your car. This might lead you to wonder why, if you’re so wigged out about being broke, your girlfriend’s evolved psychology seems to be all “yeah, whatever.” Well, there was no such thing as “wealth” in ancestral times, so cues to the ability to acquire resources seem to point to mate quality. As I’ve written before, a woman’s seeing ambition, entrepreneurial thinking, and high intelligence in a guy who isn’t exactly raking in the bucks with a crop harvester may ring enough of her psychological bells to make him a choice. A woman who isn’t yet in “let’s make babies!” mode might also be more open-minded than realistic. Think about the life you want, and ask your girlfriend to think about the future she wants, and then put your wants together (along with the timetable for each) and see how well they fit. Sure, comedy is a career that can eventually pay off Seinfeldanormously, but for many, it never goes beyond driving around to do $50 sets in suburban Yuk-Yuk Huts. If it’s “babies or bust!” for her, consider how willing you’d be to trade your comedy dream for a dad job—the boringly stable kind with a reasonable weekly paycheck. Unfortunately, actual

money tends to go over better at the kids’ dentist than a pair of free tickets to The Chuckle Castle plus a garbage bag of recyclables and a pledge to come back with more every day until mid-2024.

A Scar Is Born My guy friend said my problem with men is that I keep forgetting who I am. According to him, I’m smart, beautiful, accomplished, funny, and super-cool but the moment I like a guy, I act weirdly needy and turn guys off. How do I change this? —Clingy Amy Alkon

In presenting yourself to others, you’re like the world’s worst used-car salesman: “Fantastic deathtrap for the price! Just the thing to strand you on a desert highway and leave you crawling on your hands and knees over rocky, snake-infested terrain!” Unfortunately, self-loathing is only stylish for about 20 minutes—and only if you are a newly-Goth 13-year-old. Also unfortunate is a big long-standing error in psychology, overvaluing talking and undervaluing action as the way to change our default behavior—meaning the way we typically (and pretty much automatically) react. Granted, recognizing where you’re going wrong and how you could behave less counterproductively isn’t unimportant or useless. But research by clinical psychologist Stefan G. Hofmann and his colleagues suggests that taking action alone—without talk therapy—leads to dramatic shifts in thinking, including significantly diminishing “negative self-perception” and other counterproductive beliefs. As for your tendency to go all needypants around a guy you like, ask yourself why you do this. Not the underlying reason but why you let your emotions drive your behavior. People don’t think to ask themselves that, but as I write in “Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence”—my science-based book on how action is the key to emotional and behavioral transformation—“your feelings are not the boss of you.” In short, it isn’t how you feel that matters; it’s what you do. When you’re around a guy you like, act in a way that serves your interests— like a person with self-respect, which is to say, one who has no problem walking away. (Be whiny to your friends, if necessary.) After all, deep down, you know you could get a man to stay with you forever—that’s what basement wall chains and bucket toilets are for.

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Who was the model

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Genius inventor Thomas Edison rebelled against sleep, which he regarded as wasteful. He tried to limit his time in bed to four hours per night so he would have more time to work during his waking hours. Genius scientist Albert Einstein had a different approach. He preferred ten hours of sleep per night, and liked to steal naps during the day, too. In my astrological opinion, Aries, you’re in a phase when it makes more sense to imitate Einstein than Edison. Important learning and transformation are happening in your dreams. Give your nightly adventures maximum opportunity to work their magic in your behalf.

TAURUS (April 20May 20): The Danish flag has a red background emblazoned with an asymmetrical white cross. It was a national symbol of power as early as the fourteenth century, and may have first emerged during a critical military struggle that established the Danish empire in 1219. No other country in the world has a flag with such an ancient origin. But if Denmark’s Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who’s a Taurus, came to me and asked me for advice, I would urge him to break with custom and design a new flag—maybe something with a spiral rainbow or a psychedelic tree. I’ll suggest an even more expansive idea to you, Taurus: create fresh traditions in every area of your life!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On June 7, 1988, Gemini musician Bob Dylan launched what has come to be known as the Never Ending Tour. It’s still going. In the past 30+ years, he has performed almost 3,000 shows on every continent except Antarctica. In 2018 alone, at the age of 77, he did 84 gigs. He’s living proof that not every Gemini is flaky and averse to commitment. Even if you yourself have flirted with flightiness in the past, I doubt you will do so in the next five weeks. On the contrary. I expect you’ll be a paragon of persistence, doggedness, and stamina.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The otters at a marine park in Miura City, Japan are friendly to human visitors. There are holes in the glass walls of their enclosures through which they reach out to shake people’s hands with their webbed paws. I think you need experiences akin to that in the coming weeks. Your mental and spiritual health will thrive to the degree that you seek closer contact with animals. It’s a favorable time to nurture your instinctual intelligence and absorb influences from the natural world. For extra credit, tune in to and celebrate your own animal qualities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Between 1977 and 1992, civil war raged in Mozambique. Combatants planted thousands of land mines that have remained dangerous long after the conflict ended. In recent years, a new ally has emerged in the quest to address the problem: rats that are trained to find the hidden explosives so that human colleagues can defuse them. The expert sniffers don’t weigh enough to detonate the mines, so they’re ideal to play the role of saviors. I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future, Leo. You’ll get help and support from a surprising or seemingly unlikely source.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Imagine a stairway that leads nowhere; as you ascend, you realize that at the top is not a door or a hallway, but a wall. I suspect that lately you may have been dealing with a metaphorical version of an anomaly like this. But I also predict that in the coming weeks some magic will transpire that will change everything. It’s like you’ll find a button on the wall that when pushed opens a previously imperceptible door. Somehow, you’ll gain entrance through an apparent obstruction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not all of the classic works of great literature are entertaining. According to one survey of editors, writers, and librarians, Goethe’s Faust, Melville’s Moby Dick, and Cervantes’ Don Quixote are among the most boring masterpieces ever written. But most experts agree that they’re still valuable to read. In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to commune with other dull but meaningful things. Seek out low-key but rich offerings. Be aware that unexciting people and situations may offer clues and catalysts that you need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many of you Scorpios regard secrecy as a skill worth cultivating. It serves your urge to gather and manage power. You’re aware that information is a valuable commodity, so you guard it carefully and share it sparingly. This predilection sometimes makes you seem understated, even shy. Your hesitancy to express too much of your knowledge and feelings may influence people to underestimate the intensity that seethes within you. Having said all that, I’ll now predict that you’ll show the world who you are with more dazzle and flamboyance in the coming weeks. It’ll be interesting to see how you do that as you also try to heed your rule that information is power. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian actress and producer Deborra-Lee Furness has been married to megastar actor Hugh Jackman for 23 years. Their wedding rings are inscribed with a motto that blends Sanskrit and English, “Om paramar to the mainamar.” Hugh and Deborah-Lee say it means “we dedicate our union to a greater source.” In resonance with current astrological omens, I invite you to engage in a similar gesture with an important person in your life. Now is a marvelous time to deepen and sanctify your relationship by pledging yourselves to a higher purpose or beautiful collaboration or sublime mutual quest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1997, a supercomputer named Deep Blue won six chess matches against Chess Grand Master Gary Kasparov. In 2016, an Artificial Intelligence called AlphaGo squared off against human champion Lee Sodol in a best-of-five series of the Chinese board game Go. AlphaGo crushed Sodol, four games to one. But there is at least one cerebral game in which human intelligence still reigns supreme: the card game known as bridge. No AI has as yet beat the best bridge players. I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I am sure that in the coming weeks, no AI could out-think and out-strategize you as you navigate your way through life’s tests and challenges. You’ll be smarter than ever. P.S.: I’m guessing your acumen will be extra soulful, as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): At regular intervals, a hot stream of boiling water shoots up out of the earth and into the sky in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. It’s a geyser called Old Faithful. The steamy surge can reach a height of 185 feet and last for five minutes. When white settlers first discovered this natural phenomenon in the nineteenth century, some of them used it as a laundry. Between blasts, they’d place their dirty clothes in Old Faithful’s aperture. When the scalding flare erupted, it provided all the necessary cleansing. I’d love to see you attempt a metaphorically similar feat, Aquarius: harness a natural force for a practical purpose, or a primal power for an earthy task.

Homework: Think of the last person you cursed, if only with a hateful thought if not an actual spell. Now send them a free-hearted blessing.

for Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting Mona Lisa? Many scholars think it was Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo. Leonardo wanted her to feel comfortable during the long hours she sat for him, so he hired musicians to play for her and people with mellifluous voices to read her stories. He built a musical fountain for her to gaze upon and a white Persian cat to cuddle. If it were within my power, I would arrange something similar for you in the coming weeks. Why? Because I’d love to see you be calmed and soothed for a concentrated period of time; to feel perfectly at ease, at home in the world, surrounded by beautiful influences you love. In my opinion, you need and deserve such a break from the everyday frenzy.

Craft cannabis profile: Peak Extracts By Josh Jardine Submitted

SMOKE SIGNALS

regon’s cannabis industry is in a major state of flux. Oversupply, plummeting prices and widespread consolidation are a boon for consumers—but those issues can overshadow the value of supporting Oregon “craft cannabis.” This isn’t a crucial consideration for consumers who simply want the lowest-possible price. No one should be shamed because of a limited budget— especially medical patients on a fixed income. (Cannabis products covered by Medicaid/insurance should remain a goal for the industry.) Still, some consumers do have an interest in the growers/processors and their production methods and ingredients. Those people come with the same questions they have when considering the purchase of any craft product. I probably pay more at the farmer’s market, but I have a more trusted relationship with those farmers than I do with the Safeway or Target produce buyer. Peak Extracts has been around since 2014, starting in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program marketplace. It’s the creation of business and life partners Kate Black and Katie Stem, who, like many craft brand owners, have a longtime, deeply personal relationship with the plant. With Crohn’s disease, Stem was an OMMP patient for nearly 10 years, serving as her own guinea pig to determine which strains, recipes and extraction methods best delivered specific effects and benefits. Her preferred delivery system was home-made chocolates, which were exclusively strain-specific in content. (A participant in the R&D for this project is where I hope to go when I pass.) Stem’s efforts were built upon a knowledge base including a pre-med track, a degree in traditional Chinese medicine, and being a nationally-certified licensed herbalist and acupuncturist. Black brought complementary professional experience in design, chocolate making and culinary management. Peak hit medical dispensary shelves with a line of “vegan, gluten-free single-strain couverture chocolates.”

(“Couverture” is a high-quality type of chocolate.) Peak moved into Oregon’s recreational Adult Use program in 2016, receiving what they say is the state’s first edible processors license. The company exists as a rarity in the cannabis processing community: two queer women in an overwhelmingly male-dominated industry. Stem and Black regaled me with stories of years of enduring mansplaining, “Look, honey” exchanges and other experiences that most processors won’t encounter, based solely on gender. In December 2018, Stem told Dope Magazine, “I think women have been more successful in this industry because it is new, and has been less entrenched through generations of preferential treatment. Although there are more female CEOs in cannabis, such as me, the trend towards consolidation almost invariably results in a male being in charge of the parent company. If we’re not careful, all of the inroads made in the first several years of the industry will be lost.” Word. Those who dismissively referred to them as “the girls” have watched Peak become the second-largest cannabis chocolate producer in Oregon, still expanding its offerings. In addition to the award-winning chocolate line, Peak has a pain relieving topical, Rescue Rub, and a collection of strain specific Co2 cartridges. I sampled two, including a sativa-dominant OG strain, “Panama Red,” and one CBD dominant. My busy daytime schedule was well served by the terpene-rich Panama, while the CBD calmed my motor mouth and mind as the workday hit hour 10. Product quality is always the first consideration. Knowing that a purchase benefits individuals and values that you support is increasingly important, as well. Oregon has a wealth of amazing products produced by awesome teams, and no one brand is “the best.” We have an embarrassment of quality cannabis riches. (I’ve been to Las Vegas dispensaries. Trust me.) When spending your cannabis dollar, seek out whatever combination of price and quality you can afford. But with prices at historically low levels, you can try out brands that represent the best of what Oregon stands for with cannabis. The “who and how” count for as much as the “what.” Peak Extracts
