his May’s primary election has been rather light on endorsements for our local area, with only a handful of primary races being contested. For us, that’s meant only a few occasions to endorse candidates and measures over the past several weeks.

With the low number of contested primaries, it may have barely registered that one of the newspapers for our region, The Bulletin, skipped over endorsing any candidates or any measures at all in this May primary. When we asked their leadership team about it, they told us that their 121-year-old newspaper, which has done endorsements and, historically, come out swinging in the opinion department in general, is no longer doing political endorsements at all. Not only that, its parent company, EO Media/CO Media, will no longer be doing endorsements at any of its newspapers dotted around Oregon.

We are stunned.

“Editorials can alienate readers.

And in elections, in a polarized society, endorsements can do that even more,” Opinions Editor Richard Coe told the Source Weekly in an email. “The best hope for an editorial is that it informs, entertains and drives debate. But throw a political endorsement on top of political polarization and it can do more harm than good with the resulting alienation of readers.”

In our email exchange, Coe described how The Bulletin, in the absence of writing their own endorsements for candidates, have run “letters and guest columns about the elections.”

Those two things could not be any more different. Endorsements by a newspaper’s editorial board typically involve costly candidate research, interviews, more research and then a robust discussion of the merits of each candidate, based on the editorial board’s deep local knowledge of the issues that matter to readers. Perhaps most importantly, endorsements convey to the community the identity of the publication, its advocacies, its thought process and the principles it cherishes.

A guest opinion or letter, on the other hand, gives free access for campaigns to insert their messaging — with a measure of bias baked in, and without the overriding vision of the community as a whole that a newspaper or media outlet is supposed to provide.

We are informed voters and connected community members, and we expect readers to use our own endorsements as just one of many tools that help them come to a decision on candidates.

They’re an informed tool, and a supremely valuable one. We expect, and should say hope, that our endorsements and those of other publications and organizations spark debate that can be

fueled by a disagreement with our position. We don’t call that “alienation.”

We call it engagement and an exchange of ideas. For a newspaper that’s had a large role in shaping the community’s electoral process to suddenly drop out is, to us, a dereliction of duty.

In the growing world of artificial intelligence, anyone can plug in a candidate’s name, ask for info and get a dossier on that candidate based on what’s available on the internet. Increasingly, deep fakes and misinformation proliferate the election environment and that, too, is only going to increase. But an endorsement, by a real-live group of informed journalists, takes that easily accessible info and then adds in a measure of discernment, local knowledge and interpersonal skills. The endorsement process requires untold hours speaking directly to candidates about their views. This is something that very few citizens can afford to do. These endorsements are the basis of the term “fourth arm of government.” To us, democracy hinges on this type of discernment, and a fuzzy fear of “polarization” seems like another way to say that standing for nothing is far more noble than standing for something at all.

EO Media isn’t the first newspaper conglomerate to abandon endorsements. But they are one of the largest in Oregon’s history. And that is worth taking note of, especially in an environment where newspapers are increasingly looking to the legislature for taxpayers to foot the bill for their publications. We believe that endorsements work best when used through comparison and contrast, which is one of the reasons we feel so strongly about this issue. That will happen less this November, when it matters the most.

CONGRESSIONAL ENDORSEMENT

—James Scott I am an avid and appreciative reader of the Source. However, your endorsement for Congressional District 5 was a surprise and massive disappointment to me.

I have worked for decades supporting persons victimized by intimate partner violence and sexual assault. In 2019 Janelle Bynum was the ONLY State legislator to vote NO twice on a bill to extend the civil statute of limitations on sexual abuse reporting from two years to seven. Advocates understand, and survivors have made clear, why they need time to develop the strength to confront their abusers. Bynum disregarded heart rendering public testimony, instead saying that an extension was just another way to “get” a predator — an unacceptable and extreme stance.

You lauded McLeod-Skinner’s qualifications, record of public service, refusal of PAC money and the hard work she has put in over previous campaigns to deeply understand and thereby well serve our District, yet you endorsed Bynum. Bynum’s ownership of four McDonald franchises does not even approximate the depth of experience McLeod- Skinner will bring to Congress.

In failing to endorse Jamie, you have aligned with national entities like the DCCC (who I hold responsible for McLeod-Skinner’s general election loss in 2020 in backing the Democrat Jamie defeated in that primary), out of state corporate PACs and fear-based power brokers.

I join the majority in CD5 who adamantly want to replace MAGA Lori Chavez-DeRemer. Jamie’s unequivocal positions on civil and legal rights makes her the more reliable and electable champion for Oregon values.

a job as Deputy Superintendent of the Bend La-Pine School District, with a starting salary of $170,542 per year.

Barnes Dholakia, has some likely germaine educational experience, but she leaves early her position that will now be filled again, by appointment from her fellow Board members.

In recent studies, Oregon has a very high percentage of elected politicians especially in Baker County, who leave their positions early like Barnes Dholakia, and leave the hand picking of their successors, by their remaining Board members and thus again bypassing the voters.

Currently the Bend-La Pine Schools board has no apparent conservative/ center right members and no Hispanics and likely will not for the foreseeable future.

The Board should add a high school senior, in a Ex Officio position, to serve in a one-year rotating District High School schedule, to add an unrepresented and important community perspective, that is badly needed.

Patrons of the District should immediately raise their voices and demand to be heard on this important decision.

RE: NO TO BEND-LA PINE SCHOOLS LEVY. LETTERS, 5/1

Association considers minimum living wage (“income needed for family of one adult and one child to have a modest but adequate standard of living”).

As students, we can attest to the fact that teachers work more than six hours a day. They arrive early and stay late.

Additionally, they’re grading and planning for their next classes outside of school hours. It is simply wrong to say that teachers’ jobs are easy.

But all of this is besides the point; the funds raised by the levy isn’t even earmarked for teacher wages. This money will go to Career Technical Education classes, reducing/maintaining class sizes by hiring more teachers, improving student support systems, expanding class and academic offerings and more.

The Israeli-Palestinian war is irrelevant to the levy. Restricting school funding on the basis of various district leaders’ positions only punishes the students. By voting yes on the levy, our community’s youth can receive a quality education, allowing them to become informed and involved citizens on such topics.

— Dailey Arnold, Summit High School junior and Pinnacle news editor — Josephine Hall, Summit High School junior and Pinnacle news editor

As Summit High school juniors and members of the student newspaper, we’d like to respond to your letter to the editor and correct some of your misconceptions.

To address your first point, it wasn’t Bend-La Pine Schools alone that approved the Jackstraw development tax exemption. This process requires endorsement from multiple tax jurisdictions, including Deschutes County and Bend Park and Recreation District.

Therefore, the levy isn’t a result of one tax exemption but rather a product of historical underfunding and renewed need.

Decreased enrollment means decreased funding from the state that isn’t necessarily proportional to the number of students the district lost.

Additionally, expiring COVID relief and other funding only exacerbates the issue.

Your claim that “teachers, in comparison to year-round full-time workers, are quite well compensated” is entirely misguided. Teachers have higher qualifications and greater responsibility than the average year-round worker yet in Oregon they receive less than what the National Education

Deschutes County Releases Proposed Budget

Founder of D.A.W.N.S. House Arrested for Theft

Deschutes County released its proposed budget for 2025. The total proposed budget is $727.8 million, a 0.6% increase from last year.

“The County remains in a stable financial position. However, sustained inflationary pressures continue to strain available resources,” said County Administrator Nick Lelack. The proposed budget for fiscal year 2025 incorporates a variety of investments, including delivering a $9.7 million Road Capital Improvement Plan and creating and implementing a new drug-arrest deflection program in response to HB 4002.

Other investments include expanding the courthouse in downtown Bend, maintaining 24/7 services at the Deschutes County Stabilization Center and supporting waste management.

Dawn Marie Holland, the former executive director of local nonprofit D.A.W.N.S. House was arrested for theft on May 9 after the Deschutes County Circuit Court issued an arrest warrant. In August 2023, the vice president of D.A.W.N.S. House contacted the Bend Police to report theft of funds from the organization.

After conducting an investigation, Bend PD and the Department of Justice found probable cause to arrest Holland. On May 3, the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office presented the case to a Grand Jury, which indicted Holland on 10 counts of aggravated theft in the first degree, according to a press release.

eschutes County held its final public hearing on May 8 to hear comments regarding its draft 2024 comprehensive plan. The 111page plan, which serves as the County’s map for the future, has garnered over 300 public comments since its inception. The County is set to review the plan’s comments and make a decision sometime in July or August.

The draft lists a number of goals and policies for a variety of topics.

Deschutes County Grapples with Public Defender Shortage

A loss in personnel creates a shortage in local representation, causing the release of some criminals

By Julianna LaFollette

I

n 2022, the Source Weekly reported a statewide shortage of public defenders, burdening the criminal justice system and resulting in consequences for both defendants and victims. At that time, local officials reported that the issue in Deschutes County was not yet acute. But in 2024, Deschutes County is now facing these problems, leaving many in the industry unsure of what to expect moving forward.

In the last few weeks, the local court system has been struggling to find public defenders to represent individuals. According to District Attorney Steve Gunnels, the public defender shortage has recently worsened as a result of a loss of personnel, as well as an increase in high-level felony cases in the last few months.

“That combination, along with the metrics that the public defense uses to decide whether an attorney can be apportioned, resulted in the shortfall that we had a couple of weeks ago,” said Gunnels.

According to Joel Wirtz, the executive director of Deschutes Defenders, a local public defense nonprofit, five local attorneys have recently left public defense, causing a major strain on the system and the attorneys left in the area. “The struggle now is getting people to replace them,” said Wirtz.

With fewer attorneys, individuals without representation may be released, which could eventually lead to a dismissal of charges. “Our local court has been very diligent about getting attorneys and avoiding this problem for as long as they possibly could,” said Gunnels.

The County court system has seen the consequences of this shortage in the last few weeks; defendants charged with serious crimes did not have an attorney identified to represent them and were released by the court. This, Gunnels said, is a very serious problem.

As of May 14, six defendants have been released. Some of the individuals released were arrested for crimes including sexual abuse and luring of minors, to name a few.

This happens due to rules limiting how long someone can remain without representation. Last year, U.S. District Court Judge Michael McShane ruled in Washington County that anyone held in jail without a court-appointed lawyer will be released 10 days after their initial court appearance.

"It's extremely difficult to get young professionals to come here in the last five years.

Without that change, we're going to continue to stress the system, not just in public defense but in other professions."

- Executive Director of Deschutes Defenders Joel Wirtz The Deschutes County court has been acting on that order, said Gunnels, treating it as guidance on how long to hold someone who hasn’t had an attorney appointed. The vast majority, about 90% of individuals going through the criminal justice system, need representation from public defenders, said Wirtz.

The initial solution, according to Wirtz, is to find and hire attorneys at an hourly rate. This can work for a while, but it will likely take several months. At the moment, there aren’t enough attorneys in Oregon that can take the cases to fill the gap the County currently has, he said.

“There’s only so much capacity in Oregon. There has been a drop in attorneys in Oregon overall. I think it has to do a lot with the pandemic.

A lot of people are starting to retire, and less people are going through law school now,” said Wirtz.

Meanwhile, the remaining local attorneys are taking on cases from departing attorneys. While this has caused their caseloads to expand, there are limits. “They can’t just take any case,” said Wirtz.

The Oregon Public Defense Commission, the group that establishes and maintains the statewide public defense system, has a yearly cap on the number of high-level cases an

attorney can take. Gunnells, the DA, believes these rules and criteria are part of the problem, and that it should be left up to the attorney. “If an attorney believes they can handle another appointment, they should be given the additional appointment,” said Gunnels.

Wirtz also mentioned the growing problem with affordability in the area and hopes the County continues to work on housing. “It’s extremely difficult to get young professionals to come here in the last five years,” he said. “Without that change, we’re going to continue to stress the system, not just in public defense but in other professions.”

Longer-term, Wirtz hopes that different diversion programs will help alleviate the system, keeping more people out of jail.

“With the recriminalization of drugs, hopefully we’ll have a robust deflection system. That’s very important to not overwhelm the system,” said Wirtz. He sees a need for discussions around how to move cases through the system more efficiently but also fairly.

“The status quo is not going to be effective going forward. If we do the same thing we’ve done, we’re going to have a lot of people being unrepresented,” he said.

which then led to three public hearings between October and December 2023.

After that, the planning commission voted to make some changes to the plan based on those comments. After those changes, there have been several more public hearings, the last occurring on May 8.

“It makes sense that we had so many hearings because this is kind of a good chance to get all these issues out and on the table, to best understand how we can find policies moving forward that a variety of community members agree upon.”

Central Oregon LandWatch, an organization that acts as an environmental watchdog and land use advocate, has been vocal about its concerns, calling the plan’s framework, “less-than-satisfactory.” The organization argues that the plan doesn’t adequately protect the region’s agricultural land, wildlife or water.

“The County has a major opportunity to help shape a more sustainable future in Central Oregon. Instead, their proposed plan update would maintain a status quo that’s simply unsustainable,” said Ben Gordon, the COLW executive director.

While there’s been a large mix of concerns, the topics that have come up most frequently, according to Mardell, include water, rezoning of farmland, destination resorts and wildlife protection.

“If you think about the topic of water, for instance, there’s a lot of agreement that we should do more about water,” said Mardell. “But when you get down to the policy level of what approach we take, that’s where community members often have different opinions.”

According to Lace Thornberg, COLW communications director, the organization believes there should be more responsible planning for water, with strong policies that tie water use to land use, and limit wells that would injure or impair existing wells or natural springs.

When it comes to farmland, the organization believes that all agricultural land zoned for farm use, including dry rangeland, should be preserved by ending “spot zoning” that allows for rural gentrification. COLW also thinks the plan should include policy requiring updates to all wildlife species’ habitat inventories that ensure protection and restoration of sensitive wildlife habitat.

After May 30, the last day that individuals can submit written comments to the record, the Board of County Commissions will review the entire hearing record, including comments submitted to the planning commissions. They will likely deliberate in June, according to Mardell, on whether or not they want to make additional changes to the document.

n May 1, the City of Bend approved changes to how it calculates system development charges. Now, Redmond plans to follow suit. The City of Redmond is proposing an increase in its transportation system development charges, which are one-time charges developers pay to cover infrastructure-related improvements in the city.

City staff members presented a proposed SDC increase to city councilors at a May 7 City Council meeting, where they asked for the council’s direction on what range of SDCs would best help the City meet its goals.

Redmond city councilors decided to move forward with a proposed range of $11,000 to $15,000. This is a significant increase from the current transportation SDC, which is $5,160.

The current charges for a residential single-family dwelling are $22,466 in total, which includes water, wastewater, transportation and park SDCs. With updated transportation SDC’s that total would rise to a range of $28,306 to $32,306.

Redmond last updated its SDC methodology in 2008. The City is proposing this change to support needed transportation infrastructure to serve the growing number of residents, services and businesses within the City of Redmond.

In January, the City’s five-year capital improvement plan identified a number of transportation projects needed to address growth. In February, council members adopted a rental car tax, which went into effect in March. With this fee implemented, the City still has a $15 million funding gap for the identified transportation projects. City staff believe that increasing the SDCs would bridge this gap.

In June, the City plans to hold stakeholder meetings, reaching out to groups such as the Redmond Economic Development Inc. and the Central Oregon Builders Association, to inform and provide the opportunity for input.

After this, staff will hold another Council work session, followed by public hearings. According to Redmond Staff Member Jessica MacClanahan at the May 7 meeting, the City will likely hold an adoption hearing in August or September. The SDC increase, if implemented, will likely be phased in.

NOTICIAS

Redmond propone aumentar los cargos por urbanización del Sistema de Transporte Por Julianna LaFollette

un aumento sustancial al actual en los cargos de urbanización de su sistema de transporte, que es de $5,160.

Redmond actualizó por última vez su metodología en 2008. La ciudad propone este cambio para apoyar la infraestructura de transporte necesaria para atender al creciente número de habitantes, servicios y negocios dentro de la ciudad de Redmond.

En enero, el plan quinquenal para la mejora de capital de la ciudad identificó una serie de proyectos de transporte necesarios para abordar el crecimiento. En febrero, miembros del consejo adoptaron un impuesto sobre la renta de vehículos, que entró en efecto en marzo. Implementada esta cuota, la ciudad sigue constando con una falta de fondos de $15 millones para los proyectos de transporte identificados. El personal de la ciudad cree que aumentar los cargos de urbanización en su sistema de transporte cerraría esta falta.

Pexels

En junio, la ciudad planea tener reuniones para los interesados, invitando a grupos como Redmond Economic Development Inc. y Central Oregon Builders Association para informar y dar la oportunidad de aportar comentarios.

Después de esto, el personal llevará a cabo otra sesión de trabajo del consejo, seguida por audiencias públicas. Según

Jessica MacClanahan, personal de Redmond, en la reunión del 7 de mayo, la ciudad probablemente tendrá una audiencia de adopción en agosto o septiembre. Si se implementa, el aumento en los cargos de urbanización del sistema de transporte probablemente será introducido gradualmente.

T

he second weekend of June will bring together two rock and pop icons of a past era who still endure today—thanks to their epic catalogs as well as their continued output.

Daryl Hall may be half of the duo that brought you “Private Eyes,” “Rich Girl,” “Maneater” and “Make My Dreams (Come True),” but he’s set to release his sixth solo album, “D,” on June 21. Co-produced by longtime collaborator Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, the two Rock and Roll Hall of Famers made a modern pop record that’s soulful and funky and feels like classic Hall at times. Forty years ago, Hall added backing vocals to Elvis Costello’s “The Only Flame in Town” so it’ll be a treat to see them enter each other’s musical orbit again. Joining Costello’s longtime backing band, The Imposters, for another set of tour dates will be Texas guitarist Charlie Sexton, best known for his work with Bob Dylan. As the second most famous musician named Elvis, he’s recorded more than 30 studio albums and is the composer and lyricist of a mind-blowing 600 published titles! Many have viewed Hall’s popular web/TV series “Live from Daryl's House” and understand his vibe, but know that Costello is no opener: The co-headliner is a force to be reckoned with (as well as yet another Rock Hall inductee). And since Hall & Oates are officially over, this is your best chance to relive a bygone time while enjoying the latest work from two prolific songwriters.

t should come as no surprise that the people who have been bringing us the Sisters Folk Festival since 1995 want to recreate the modern-day music festival experience. Honestly, it’s less about reinventing the wheel and more about rolling it back to simpler times.

And what better place to do this than in the cozy mountain town of Sisters, with the second installment of the folk, Americana and bluegrass festival, Big Ponderoo. The organizers aim to create a low-key vibe where you can bring your own snacks, blanket and chair, buy a beer without waiting in egregious lines and find affordable tickets for the whole family (kids 5 and under are free and ages 6 to 17 can get discounted youth passes). Adult passes even come with a reusable Silipint cup for wetting your whistle all weekend long. The open-air fest in the town’s central Village Green Park features two stages, and Saturday’s highlights include the folkrock energy of The Sam Chase & The Untraditional, the banjo- and mandolin-driven Americana of The Brothers Comatose and the horn-filled, funky blues of the Austin big band Shinyribs, which’ll have you dancing ’till they shut the stage down. Sunday’s no slouch either, with the engrossing, soul-filled classic country of newcomer Bella White and hard-charging country rock from headliners Silverada, formerly known as Mike and the Moonpies. Several local acts play twice over the weekend including husband-and-wife combos Skybound Blue from McMinnville and Portland’s The Parnells, fronted by married couple Corey and Whitney Parnell. Singer-songwriter JoAnna Lee, who has Bend roots, will play both Saturday and Sunday, as will bluegrass groups from Sisters, Rock Ridge and Portland, Fog Holler.

fter a raucous inauguration, FairWell returns to the county fairgrounds for a second year boasting some of today’s best folk, country, Americana, rock and blues acts. Some 40 artists will grace three stages over the course of three days with Whiskey Myers satisfying the red dirt country fans, Black Pumas providing melodic, soulful rock, and headliners Caamp ensuring a hearty singalong on Saturday night. Powerful female singer-songwriters with rich histories like Brandi Carlile, LeAnn Rimes and Sierra Hull (and relative newcomers like Madison Cunningham and Katie Pruitt) will captivate. Billy Strings will bring the bluegrass, Colter Wall the rural country and The War and Treaty the Michigan soul. Roots rockers Shakey Graves, The Revivalists and (recent Grammy winner) Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are sure to be highlights for many. Ryan Bingham (known for playing the role of Walker on the hit Western series, “Yellowstone”) will be joined by The Texas Gentlemen, and be sure to catch Northwest talent like Swinomish rocker Black Belt Eagle Scout, who released her powerful post-rock record “The Land, The Water, The Sky” last year. Updates for 2024 include more access to shaded barn areas throughout the festival grounds, including bars, seated areas, fair games and line dancing. FairWell offers RV parking and tent camping for those who don’t want to travel, or shuttle passes are available from Bend as well as Redmond and Ridgeview High Schools.

Up to two kiddos (8 and under) are free with each ticketed adult and re-entry is allowed—so if you plan it right, you just might be able to experience the best of both worlds!

nemployment Benefit, Form 40” is technically the full name of iconic English reggae act UB40. The bright canary yellow form was issued by the UK government to citizens claiming unemployment benefits—aka all eight members of the band—and a replica of this attendance card graces the cover of UB40’s 1980 debut record, “Signing Off.” The guys’ hopes of getting off the ministry’s dole must've surpassed their wildest dreams, as they’ve since become one of the most internationally successful reggae and pop acts of all time. Formed in Birmingham, England, in the summer of 1978, UB40 just celebrated its 45th anniversary with the release of “UB45,” 14 tracks that revisit some of the band’s biggest hits with new vocalist Matt Doyle, plus seven new songs. “ “For more than 40 years, we’ve been one of the hardest working touring bands in pop music,” says guitarist/vocalist and UB40 co-founder Robin Campbell. “We wanted to record ‘UB45’ to celebrate 45 years of our music. When you play songs over so many years, the arrangements and vocals evolve and change. These updated versions of our hits are still close to the originals, but now reflect how we perform them today and they sound better than ever.” Just four years shy of a half-century, original bandmates Jimmy Brown (drums), Earl Falconer (bass, vocals) and Norman Lamont Hassan (percussion, trombone, vocals) continue as core groove-makers alongside a supporting cast full of brass and smooth vocals who are sure to breathe continued life into indelible tunes like “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

S

weet, swirling vocal harmonies will fill the evening air along the Deschutes River as indie rockers Mt. Joy and Local Natives share the Hayden Homes Amphitheater stage this summer. Mt. Joy’s Matt Quinn and Sam Cooper met in high school in Philadelphia but subsequently reunited in Los Angeles, naming their new band after a mountain (at 423 feet it’s not much of a mountain by our standards but probably a better choice than the nearby Mount Misery) in Pennsylvania’s Valley Forge National Park. The band feels right at home in the desert, spending much of the pandemic working on its third record, “Orange Blood,” in SoCal. “When we were in the desert, everything revolved around the sun. I started playing with the idea that the light we see is this sort of orange blood that runs through all of us and gives life to everything it touches,” Quinn explains. Local Natives started making music as teenagers, and after years of writing, recording and touring, the five-piece released the companion albums, “Time Will Wait For No One” in 2023 and “But I'll Wait For You” this April. Recorded during the same sessions, these fifth and sixth records come in quick succession but with a bittersweet note: They will be the last to feature co-lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kelcey Ayer.

It’s an amicable split, with Ayer saying in an Instagram post that he needs “space and time to build other things.” He’s also not closing the door on the band, writing, “this is not the end of Local Natives or the end of me. I’m excited to celebrate this last year of shows with you all.”

The wandering country singer Willy Tea Taylor’s latest effort is his most sonically robust offering yet without sacrificing any of his detail-rich storytelling

By Chris Young

W

Photo by Tianna Franks

illy Tea Taylor’s flight from Nashville was delayed. It’s now 8pm and we’re talking on the phone as his dad drives him from the Sacramento airport to his home in Oakdale, California. He’s playing a wedding in Yosemite before spending the rest of the next month crisscrossing these United States, followed by an extensive UK tour later this summer.

“I’m not afraid to ask people to sing and join the choir. Because there’s some power to it.”

—Willy Tea Taylor Whether a vagabond troubadour by his lonesome or joined by some of his oldest musical mates, Taylor’s road-worn lifestyle is all about finding fellowship along the way. The rotating cast of characters he plays and records with are colloquially known as The Fellership.

He’s a modern-day Frodo Baggins — albeit a bit bigger than the diminutive hobbit.

“It’s very ‘Lord of the Rings’-y when you tour, you know?” Taylor explains. “And when you all start meeting up, it just becomes this mojo, this magic that we all long for. The energy’s on this level of: Let's go! So it’s exciting.”

Wearing overalls and sunglasses, oft donning a wide-brimmed hat, Taylor sings vivid stories from behind a bramble of bushy red beard, strumming a custom four-string acoustic tenor guitar (aptly called the “Model Tea”). When he hits Bend’s Silver Moon Brewing on Monday, May 20, he’ll be joined by longtime accomplices Dylan Nicholson and Eric Patterson of The Turkey Buzzards. The folk-country duo, “two of my best friends in the whole world,” Taylor says, will open the show as well as support Taylor during his set.

The Fellership takes many forms, and on Taylor’s latest record, “The Great Western Hangover,” it’s a who’s who of talented Northwest players including Taylor Kingman, Lewi Longmire, Kris Stuart of Root Jack and Fruition’s Tyler Thompson.

“I think The Fellership is a group of like-minded people that are going for a similar enjoyment of life,” Taylor chuckles. “It flows really smoothly because I believe we all are in that mindset, and it’s just kind of a flawless fun.”

“The Great Western Hangover” is 10 magnificently rich stories that pay tribute to a nomadic way of life, his wild friends, the feel-good rock of his youth and times and places you’d rather forget. Additional guests include Anna Tivel, Jeffrey Martin, Jay Cobb Anderson of Fruition and Rainbow Girls providing their talents. Recorded by Taylor, Tyler Thompson and Taylor Kingman at “Taylor’s old house,” dubbed Our Lady of Perpetual Heat Recording Studio & Spa, in St. Paul, Oregon, The Fellership laid down 11 songs in two days.

“It’s just all live, there’s no tracking,” Taylor tells.

“And that really was something I’ve been wanting to do.”

Join The Bait and Tackle Choir and lose yourself in the moment as Willy Tea Taylor shares the Silver Moon stage with The Turkey Buzzards on Monday, May 20

The tightness of the players’ collective spirits gives the album a raw realness. It exudes authenticity as it traverses from John Prine to Tom Petty to Bryan Adams on “’69 Malibu,” Taylor’s unabashed “’80s summer power hit.”

“Making this album might’ve been the most organic and effortless recording session I’ve ever done,” Thompson explains. “Willy trusted us. I don’t ever remember him telling us what to play on our instruments or how to make it sound. It was almost as if we were all just jamming in a living room, not worrying about things being perfect.”

“It’s got its funny little quirks,” Taylor adds. There were moments where “you can just tell that wasn’t the optimal note to hit right there but that’s the one that’s there and it lives there forever. I like that.”

As The Fellership expands and contracts depending on the date and locale, some shows will feature Taylor’s son on drums, while on others he’ll share the bill with The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit, “my band in California,” that’s been together for 20 years.

“I started on the road with Larry and His Flask; they're legendary Bend/Redmond, Oregon, troubadours that just showed me many of these states on a low budget,” Taylor tells. “Kinda gave me my walking shoes, I guess, because I sure like traveling.”

“I grew up as a baseball player, you know, I like to have a team,” he says. “Just something that makes sense to me.”

This sense of community extends to his audiences, too. “When the crowd becomes The Bait and Tackle Choir, they kind of really do lose themselves,” he says.

“And there’s this moment that’s just a powerful kind of healing moment, you know, like church. And so, I’m not afraid to ask people to sing and join the choir. You know what I mean? Because there’s some power to it.”

Feeding off this warmth and connectivity, Taylor trusts in his community both on and off stage. “Getting in tune with each other, you know, that’s a crazy important thing,” he says. “That’s why choirs are so fun.”

Join the chorus this Monday at Silver Moon.

Curry, Island Style CHOW Chicken A wild boat ride to Little Corn Island begets one glorious home-cooked meal

By Ari Levaux

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MAY 16, 2024 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

50

A

bout 60 years ago on Little Corn Island, a tiny dot in the Caribbean Sea, 70 miles off the coast of Nicaragua, a cook named Maritza was born to a Colombian mother and Cuban father. She goes by “Bongui,” which means something in Creole, one of several languages spoken on Little Corn Island. The gringos call her “Granny,” thanks to a sign on a table set up in her front veranda: Granny’s Creole Cooking School.

Her house is flanked by mango and coconut trees, several carefully placed hammocks and benches and a fire pit out back under a tamarind tree.

“Granny gwan make ya know fa cook island style,” she had announced at our matriculation, as we sipped tamarind-ade on her veranda.

Two weeks later, we had eaten some epic meals at Granny’s, including Run Down, a seafood stew served with local starches like cassava, plantain and breadfruit. Our favorite was her chicken curry, and we had returned for an encore presentation of that dish. This time, to mix it up, she would add some dumplings, and would use an “island chicken” – a locally sourced rooster from the north end of the island. As the chicken bubbled on the fire beneath the tamarind tree, its feet sticking out of the pot, Granny directed a kid named Pinky to crack and grate some dry coconuts.

This chicken curry is a great recipe for me to share with you because the ingredients are all available at home, so we can recreate it perfectly. The same can’t be said for Run Down, or fried yellowtail.

Granny served the curry with coconut rice and fried smashed plantain chips called tostones. We doused our food with habanero vinegar and chased it with sweet cold tamarind beverage, as Granny told us about a cooking contest that was going down the next day at the village wharf. All of the best cooks on the island would be there. Including Granny, the culinary Cardi B of Little Corn Island.

“Dem b!tches all feared a me,” Granny announced, with a grand sweep of her hand, before pointing to herself. “Because dem know dis b!tch can cook.”

She planned to enter deep-fried yellowtail with seasoned coconut cream. Not to be confused with coconut milk. That $100 prize was good as hers, she predicted.

The next afternoon Granny’s fried yellowtail sat on a plate, on a card table, flanked by a green coconut and a bunch of flowers. The tables of her competitors were laid out like catered buffets, with main courses flanked with fish balls, conch fritters, bush salads, stewed green papaya.

Granny was furious. She hadn’t known she was allowed to bring side dishes.

The winner was a steamed yellowtail with Caribbean sauce. Second place was a fried yellowtail in Caribbean sauce. Granny’s fried yellowtail in coconut cream did not make the podium.

Later that night I ran into a fishing guide named Whiskers. Apologetically, I told him that I would not be fishing with him, but with Granny’s husband, Tuba. Whiskers understood. “Bongui got setup mon!” Whiskers said of Granny’s fate at the competition. “Dem make she tink twas but one dish wen dem knew der was plenty.”

The next night I asked the winner, Michelle Gomez, if she would prepare her winning dish for us. It was delicious, but the earth didn’t tremble beneath my feet.

I believe that yellowtail, being a tad bony, is better when fried crispy. And I love the interaction between a flavorful sauce and a crispy fish. So the next night we went to Granny’s and gave her entry a try. It was definitely better than winning fish. But not as good as Granny’s chicken curry.

A few days later I did end up taking an excursion with Whiskers. We went night snorkeling, and saw octopi large and small, and rays, sea turtles and two lobsters having sex. And Granny, well, she may not have won that $100 prize. But we took care of her, and she sent us home with dense bricks of cooked-down ginger, coconut and sugar. I’ve been putting pieces of it in the boys’ school lunches since we came home, a little edible reminder of Little Corn Island. As if they could ever forget.

Ari Levaux

Granny’s chicken curry is worth writing home about, all the way from the tiny Little Corn Island — accessible only by boat.

Granny’s Chicken Curry This dish will serve 4-6 people, depending on the size of the chicken.

Serve with rice.

• 1 whole chicken, cut up, or parts – I use a pack of drumsticks and a pack of thighs • 1 medium onion or shallot, sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 hot pepper, sliced • 3 lemons or limes, juiced • 1 cubic inch of ginger, sliced • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon paste or powder • ¼ cup coconut oil • 2 tablespoons sugar • 4 tablespoons curry powder • 1 can of coconut milk or make milk from 2 dry coconuts (it’s a process…)

• 1 bunch basil, chopped • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped • Salt and pepper to taste In a large bowl, mix the chicken pieces with the onion, garlic, hot pepper, juice of the lemons or limes, ginger slices and bouillon.

While that marinates, add the coconut oil to a stew pot and turn the heat to medium. Add the sugar and cook for about 10 minutes, until the sugar is beyond browned and is completely blackened. Add the chicken to the burned sugar and oil. Turn the heat to high and cook the chicken for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Add the onions and peppers from the marinade, along with the curry powder. Mix it all together and add the coconut milk. Reduce the heat to medium and cook another 30 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add the basil and cilantro, and serve.

Grammy Nominee Andy Akiho Tries to Bring Fun, Energy to Classical Music While Pushing its Limits

By Geneva Chin, OPB

A

ndy Akiho’s compositions are not just musical performances; they are immersive experiences that shatter the boundaries of classical music. The five-time Grammy nominee and Pulitzer Prize finalist is known for his innovative symphonies that captivate audiences of all ages.

A Japanese American composer, Akiho has thrilled audiences with music that features eye-popping elements like ping pong players, film of kung fu master Bruce Lee and most recently, a drumming performance on a huge bronze head sculpture. (At that concert, ushers at the Arlene Schnitzer Auditorium had to ask several audience members to put away their cameras.)

“I just want it to be an experience and something they’ve never seen before, never been a part of and something like if I were in the audience, what I would love to hear and be a part of musically and visually,” says Akiho.

“A lot of his music has a very visual aspect to it.

But not in a gimmicky way,” says Jon Greeney, Akiho’s close friend and Oregon Symphony timpanist. “He brings fun to classical music.”

Akiho’s global impact is undeniable, with his compositions performed in prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and the Chatelet Theatre in Paris.

Personal connection is key When Akiho sets out to compose music, he doesn’t just think about notes and instruments. He prioritizes spending time with the musicians to help sculpt his work.

“So I feel the energy, he says. “I feel like it does more for the composition and for me personally because I feel I’m being very honest with the musical conversation, the musical language. I’m just trying to tell the

Portland composer Andy Akiho created a stunning film of him and renowned sculptor Jun Kaneko drumming on Kaneko's ceramic sculptures. The film is part of Akiho's Grammy nominated composition, "Sculptures."

story from the experience of working with them.”

Relationships inspire Akiho’s compositions whether he’s collaborating with musicians, dancers or other artists. This personal approach has generated unique and exciting multidiscipline works of art.

Last year, he embarked on a particularly meaningful project, composing music to honor the renowned Japanese American Sculptor Jun Kaneko. Their friendship grew in Omaha, Kaneko’s hometown, where Akiho spent extensive time with the artist and his wife.

Introduced through the Omaha Symphony, Akiho found himself drawn to Kaneko’s artwork, describing it as spiritual and breathtaking. As a steel pannist, Akiho couldn’t resist tapping on Kaneko’s towering Jeff Kastner/OPB

sculptures, eventually drumming on them and even convincing Kaneko to join in.

“It’s inspiring to make music out of these things,” says Akiho. “They feel like they were made to be instruments or made to sing. Some of them look like heads, like they want to speak, and it was fun bringing that out.”

Their collaboration culminated in the Grammy-nominated multimedia composition “Sculptures,” presented by the Omaha and Oregon Symphonies.

Playing Carnegie Hall with Jon Batiste’s Orchestra Akiho’s talent has caught the attention of industry icons like Jon Batiste, the former bandleader on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In 2022, Akiho played steel pan and percussions for Batiste’s American Symphony at Carnegie Hall.

“That was inspiring to meet all those musicians and to see how Jon worked,” he says.

Akiho was happy to get another chance to work with Batiste. Earlier, Batiste emailed Akiho “to do some stuff or maybe record in Portland for his CD that came out,” Akiho says.

But Akiho missed the offer, when he neglected to check his emails for months.

“A lot of people get upset at me or I lose a lot of opportunities because I’m not checking the emails. But I just need to get the art done,” he says. “I’m not good at multitasking. When I’m working on a piece, that becomes my life.”

He has hired a team to check his emails, giving him more freedom to focus on what he does best: crafting heartfelt music that transcends boundaries and excites audiences worldwide.

Business SCREEN Monkey A look at 50 years of "Planet of the Apes"

By Jared Rasic 55

Minor spoilers Honestly, the only thing that keeps the original “Planet of the Apes” from being a perfect film is the performance of Charlton Heston as an astronaut who ends up on a planet full of talking apes who’ve become the dominant species and treat humans as pets. Kim Hunter and Roddy McDowall give genuinely touching and subtle performances as the apes Dr. Zira and Dr. Cornelius, to the point where when Heston appears, madly gesticulating and desperate to appear hyper-masculine, the film almost falls off the rails. Luckily, the pacing and direction are so much fun that the movie doesn’t really rely on him.

Next is 1970’s “Beneath the Planet of the Apes,” which most people hated but I am subjectively positive is one of the high points of the series. Heston didn’t want to be very involved, so Paul Franciscus shows up as a new stranded astronaut who has a really similar adventure to Heston in the first one, except this one has a sect of psychic mutants who live in the subway tunnels beneath a destroyed New York and worship an undetonated nuclear bomb. This movie is genuinely insane and unpredictable.

It might not be good, but I love it and its Vietnam-era nihilism about the fate of humanity.

Even stranger is 1971’s “Escape From the Planet of the Apes,” which sends talking apes Cornelius and Zira to the West Coast of the U.S. in 1973 and plays (at least in the first half) like a fishout-of-water comedy. But when the

Apes and humans together are strong in “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.”

American government finds out that apes end up taking over the world in the future and that Zira is pregnant, they quickly decide to not allow her to have the child. The performances of McDowell and Hunter, the not-so-veiled allegory to the just-filed Roe v. Wade and the genuinely bleak but humanist look at bureaucratic evil makes this an unforgettable piece of speculative fiction.

The next three films are pretty rough, but each has its positives. 1972’s “Conquest of the Planet of the Apes” is set in 1983 when the U.S. has become a police state where all apes are imprisoned and used for slave labor. The main character is Caeser (played by Roddy McDowell), the son of Cornelius and Zira, who leads an uprising to free the apes. While the concluding revolt takes way too long, the deeply angry script focused on American racism is far ahead of its time.

1973’s “Battle for the Planet of the Apes” had such a low budget that the final battle is barely a skirmish. Maybe a kerfluffle. It’s just dull and without nuance.

The worst of the 10 films is easily Tim Burton’s 2001 reboot “Planet of the Apes.” Mark Wahlberg is terrible and miscast, the plot is genuinely nonsensical and it has nothing to say about modern society that the previous five films didn’t cover better. The only thing that makes the film worth watching is the incredible prosthetic ape makeup by the

great Rick Baker.

It took 10 years, but the franchise returned with 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” featuring groundbreaking motion capture work by Andy Serkis and more empathy toward the plight of laboratory animals. Watching Serkis’ ape Caeser lead the apes to freedom is rousing and very exciting, making “Rise” a flawed, but strong opening for an entirely new “Apes” timeline.

The next one, 2014’s “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is quite possibly the first masterpiece in the franchise with visionary director Matt Reeves telling a gut-churningly intense fable about the inhumanity of man, placing “Dawn” firmly in the same conversation with other classic second films like “The Empire Strikes Back” and “The Two Towers.” In a just world, Serkis would have been nominated for an Oscar here for his performances as Caesar.

In 2017’s “War for the Planet of the Apes,” Caesar’s quest to protect his people comes to an end with one of the most intense and well-made sci-fi films of the 2010s. In my review back then I compared the film to “The Great Escape” and “Apocalypse Now” and I stand behind that completely.

And now finally we have “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” set 300 years after the events of the last film and setting up which will most definitely be another multiple film storyline. Long

story short: it’s fantastic. Character driven and leisurely, the film sets up a future where humans are borderline feral and non-verbal. So much of “Kingdom” are these lovely scenes of apes just sitting around and talking about life and what it means to live a meaningful life.

Yes, these are big sci-fi movies with explosions and lots of action set-pieces, but they’re also thoughtful looks at what it means to be human and how our lives are controlled by a mercurial balance of judgement and empathy. What did I learn from watching these 10 movies?

That some of the best writing in films comes when we get to see what possible futures look like based upon our behavior as a species. And that I like psychic mutants that live in the subway.

If you don’t want to watch the other nine movies in the series, “Kingdom” is a great place to start as it begins an entirely new narrative arc that we’ll probably get another three to five movies exploring. That might sound exhausting, but I’m for one looking forward to meeting our eventual ape overlords.

t’s such a nice feeling to be surprised by movies. That’s why I keep my cynicism buried underneath a giant pile of ridiculous and unwarranted optimism; that way every bad movie is a mild disappointment and every good one is delightful. But what usually ends up being a real rarity is when almost an entire franchise is not only decent, but a high water mark for Hollywood blockbuster storytelling in general.

Over the last two weeks I did a complete deep dive into the “Planet of the Apes” franchise, watching every single one of the 10 (!) theatrical releases going all the way back to the 1968 original and finishing with last week’s new “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.”

Has anyone other than me dared to watch the entire series to glean deeper meaning from what’s widely considered a ridiculous sci-fi series about talking monkeys? Absolutely, they have! Did they do as good a job as I will? Probably!

But here we go anyway.

Still Much Unknown on How Marijuana Policies Would Change in States Under Biden Plan After federal proposal to loosen marijuana scheduling, plenty of thorny issues

By Jacob Fischler, Oregon Capital Chronicle Adobe Stock

U

.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has proposed loosening the illegal status of marijuana at the federal level – but that doesn’t mean the federal government now condones recreational or medicinal use in the many states that have legalized the drug.

Moving marijuana from the government’s list of the most dangerous and least useful substances, Schedule I, to a less serious Schedule III category was a clear signal that the federal government, at least under President Joe Biden’s administration, wants to ease restrictions on a drug that’s been legal in an increasing number of states for more than a decade.

For years, the federal government has not pursued enforcement of state-legal marijuana operations, and the recent move appears to solidify that approach.

But it didn’t solve the many thorny issues that have resulted from a split between what is legal in dozens of states and what the federal government allows.

It’s unclear exactly what the rescheduling will mean.

The Justice Department has not made public the text of Garland’s proposal — a DOJ spokesman declined States Newsroom’s request this week for a copy and state regulators say it has not been shared with them.

Even if the proposal were public, it would be expected to go through changes over months of rulemaking.

Here are some questions covering what is known at this early stage about what rescheduling would and would not do.

Q: Is weed legal now?

A: No. Even in states that have legalized recreational use, the federal government would likely still consider the state system as illegal under federal law.

Other Schedule III drugs, including Tylenol with codeine and anabolic steroids, are tightly regulated and available only by prescription at pharmacies.

State-legal medicinal marijuana dispensaries do not fit that description and recreational-use dispensaries are even further from what the Food and Drug Administration requires of Schedule III drugs.

“This does not make marijuana state operations legal,” Shawn Hauser, a partner at Denver-based marijuana law firm Vicente LLP, said on a May 3 webinar.

“They are not selling FDA-approved drugs and they are not licensed or meet the control requirements for Schedule III. So cannabis and state-legal dispensaries will remain in violation of federal law.”

Q: What is the difference between Schedule I and Schedule III? A: Among the most significant is the recognition that the drug may have some medicinal value.

Under the federal Controlled Substances Act, the Drug Enforcement Administration has five levels of drug classifications.

Schedule I is the most restricted level, comprising the drugs most ripe for abuse that have no medicinal value. Other drugs on the list include heroin and LSD. Because the definition of Schedule I substances includes no medicinal use, it is illegal to even study

substances on the list.

Schedule III is the strictest level that acknowledges some medicinal value, making some hopeful that research on the drug could be improved.

“Moving cannabis to Schedule III would be a big step for recognition of the medical uses of cannabis, what voters here recognized by a wide margin in 1998,” the Washington state Liquor and Cannabis Board said in a May 1 statement. “And it would say very clearly that the federal government no longer considers cannabis among the most dangerous drugs.”

Q: How are states preparing?

A: Until they have more details, state regulators cannot do much, Amanda Borup, the senior policy analyst for the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, said in an interview.

“We really have to wait and see what they release,” she said, referring to the DEA’s rulemaking.

Other states are considering what the impacts might be.

The statement from Washington’s Liquor and Cannabis Board said rescheduling would “hopefully” ease restrictions on cannabis research, while it is “possible” the move would allow state-legal businesses to take advantage of tax deductions available to other industries.

Q: Why does research matter?

A: Marijuana advocates have had trouble providing evidence of any marijuana benefits because research has been restricted, which in turn made it more difficult to show that the restrictions should be lifted.

It could also help establish industry guidelines for ancillary issues. For example, the restrictions on research contribute to a lack of data on what pesticides are safe for use in marijuana cultivation.

Q: How does this affect policy on taxes, banking and criminal justice?

A: On its own, rescheduling likely won’t address

several complaints marijuana industry members and advocates have about federal prohibition.

Some are hopeful, though, that the signal from the Biden administration will spur momentum toward other changes.

Most businesses can deduct their costs from their income and pay taxes on their net income. Marijuana businesses cannot take that deduction, known as 280E, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, an advocacy group.

Schedule I status also makes access to the U.S. banking system difficult.

Others complain that making marijuana legal in some states has not been fair to the communities of color that saw the most active enforcement.

Rescheduling would not fix those issues on its own, but advocates are hopeful it is a sign of momentum toward full legalization.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Ron Wyden of Oregon reintroduced a bill to de-schedule the drug altogether. The measure includes expanding the 280E tax break and several provisions meant to address social justice.

Q: Could Trump reverse this if he wins in November?

A: Probably, though there’s no indication that’s on his agenda.

It’s unclear what the status of the rescheduling will be when the next Inauguration Day arrives on Jan. 20, 2025.

If former President Donald Trump wins back the presidency and the rescheduling is still pending, he could direct the DEA and DOJ to scrap the change.

Trump has not commented on the issue.

Participants gather outdoors to hear where their food has come from.

anderlust Tours has teamed up with Luckey’s Woodsman for an extraordinary farm-to-table outdoor collaboration called Forage to Table, a naturalist guided tour and four-course dinner. The excursion takes participants to the Metolius Basin, where they learn about foraging techniques, flora and fauna identification, and the art of using simple ingredients found in nature to craft a delicious meal from experts in backcountry cooking.

“The chef from Luckey’s Woodsman, Jackson [Higdon], is deeply passionate about food and where it comes from and making meals that pay homage to Central Oregon. His passion aligns seamlessly with Wanderlust Tours’ commitment to the outdoors and our mission of connecting people with these stunning landscapes for preservation,” explains Courtney Braun, co-owner and naturalist guide at Wanderlust Tours.

“People are increasingly interested in learning where their food comes from and exploring nature trails and discovering the abundance of edible foods that can accompany or supplement their meals. This idea inspired the creation of our first Forage to Table event,” notes Braun.

During the expedition in the Metolius Basin, the naturalist guide points out a variety of delectable items, including mushrooms ranging from morels to boletus, spring trips from fir trees, fiddleheads, wild onions, garlic and wild mint. Following the adventurous foraging session, the gathered wild ingredients will be used for a four-course dinner prepared by the chef at Luckey’s Woodsman, complemented by local beer and wine, all enjoyed at a dining table nestled among ponderosa trees.

“I believe that the more time we spend outdoors, the more connected people feel to it, especially when combined with the pleasure of enjoying delicious food.

We wholeheartedly support this idea,” remarks Braun. “I’m confident that Forage to Table will become an annual event for us.”

While the Forage to Table event is currently booked, interested individuals can join a waitlist and will be notified if a space opens up. They can visit the Wanderlust Tours website to stay updated on similar events and to be notified about the next potential Forage to Table event next spring.

Why You May Be Seeing More Amaro

Italy’s herbal bitter liqueurs are making cocktails complicated

By Brian Yaeger

talian Amaros are so bitter that they’re named after the Italian word for bitter. To that end, the plural for amaro (“bitter”) isn’t really amaros, it’s amari. And while bitterness doesn’t seem like a selling point for adult beverage enthusiasts, let’s not forget that the IPA — a craft beer style distinguished by hoppy bitterness — is the most popular beer style. What’s more, your newest favorite cocktail has a good chance of featuring an amaro.

Doing shots or having a favorite spirit on the rocks is splendid, but sinking your teeth into a cocktail brimming with complexity is a thrill in liquid form. Yet no bartender wants to mix a laundry list of ingredients, which is where liqueurs come in handy. From warm weather Aperol Spritzers to sophisticated Negronis to the nearly de rigueur Paper Plane, amari are sprouting up like weeds.

Some even boast weeds (like dandelion or chicory).

And considering amari are made with all manner of herbs, roots, and flowers, yet keep their recipes tight against the chests of sixth, seventh, or eighth generation family-run distilleries, it’s no wonder such cocktails taste like foraging around the world.

At Waypoint in the Grove in Northwest Crossing, bartender Dane Olson wants to teach customers about amari — and learn from those customers, too.

I attended one of Waypoint’s Mixology 101 classes which served as my personal introduction to an amaro called Montenegro. It has the orange-pith kick of Aperol and Campari but takes it in a darker, nuttier direction —think cola nut — and now my bright orange spritzers have made way for auburn elixirs that keep my palate on its toes.

Enjoyed by themselves, lighter-colored ones tend to be sweeter and suitable as aperitifs, while darker ones lean spicier, rootier, more herbaceous and make for a proper digestif.

“The beauty of the amari world,” offers Olson, is that they can be enjoyed alone, in a straightforward high ball (with soda) “and some complex cocktails.” Here he rattles off some of the more popular libations such as the Paper Plane, the Last Word and Naked and Famous. When Olson prepared a

Piazza, he reached for not one but two different bottles: Montenegro and the ever-alluring-or-kryptonite Fernet Branca which tastes like something a koala bear would drink (if they drank) or that you’d rub on your chest with a bad cold.

It also features whiskey for a taste of the familiar. And his featured rosemary in both syrup form and a charred sprig for garnish. What amaro delivers, ultimately, is a taste of the unexpected.

Olson hails from Eugene, Oregon, but has bartended from coast to coast including at an Italian joint in NYC that featured a full Br i an Ya list of aperitivos and eg e digestivos. He claims New York drinkers are commonly familiar with the range of amari.

But here in Bend, where the classics like Old Fashioneds still reign supreme, the winds of change are blowing and carrying with it transplants in both consumer and mixologist form.

Five Fusion’s Zack Ottesen, who’s shaken and stirred from Seattle to L.A., calls amari “an essential liqueur in creating some of the best craft cocktails.”

He acknowledges, “the large array of amari can be a bit overwhelming at first, but they all serve their own purpose. Whether it be an herbaceous kick from a Montenegro or a sweet essence from an Averna, amari are a crucial ingredient to keep in any bar.”

Ottesen says he’s got “nearly a dozen” behind his bar and frequently reaches for Averna, Nonino, Cynar and Fernet, among others. Olson says he’s got nearly 20 amari stocked at Waypoint which is “not as diverse as I’d like it to be.” From the Hal 9000 at San Simon featuring the gentian- and juniper-forward Braulio Amaro to the mentholated Growing Older But Not Up at Dear Irene with Fernet Branca’s mintier cousin Branca Menta, no one’s not in on this ingredient that has seemingly started tiptoeing into the spotlight since the pandemic. Olson’s colleague, Sarah Tobias, is migrating from Waypoint to the new downtown spot from Rancher Butcher Chef, Bar RBC, where the Italian bitter liqueurs will be called on for heavy lifting. After all, she’s the one who introduced me to the Montenegro Spritz that has caused the bottle of Aperol in my home bar to start gathering dust. r

ly, you could learn to give a stirring rendering of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 on a slide whistle. Or you could perform the “To be or not to be” soliloquy from Shakespeare’s Hamlet for an audience of pigeons that aren’t even paying attention. Theoretically, you could pour out your adoration to an unattainable celebrity or give a big tip to a waiter who provided mediocre service or do your finest singing at a karaoke bar with two people in the audience. But I hope you will offer your skills and gifts with more discernment and panache, Taurus—especially these days. Don’t offer yourself carelessly. Give your blessings only to people who deeply appreciate them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When I lived in San

Francisco in 1995, thieves stole my Chevy Malibu.

It was during the celebratory mayhem that swept the city following the local football team’s Super Bowl victory. Cops miraculously recovered my car, but it had been irrevocably damaged in one specific way: It could no longer drive in reverse. Since I couldn’t afford a new vehicle, I kept it for the next two years, carefully avoiding situations when I would need to go backward. It was a perfect metaphor for my life in those days. Now I’m suggesting you consider adopting it for yours. From what I can discern, there will be no turning around anytime soon. Don’t look back.

Onward to the future!

CANCER (June 21July 22): Cancerian

basketball coach Tara VanDerveer is in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. She won more games than anyone else in the sport.

Here’s one aspect of her approach to coaching. She says that the greatest players “have a screw loose”—and she regards that as a very good thing. I take her to mean that the superstars are eccentric, zealous, unruly, and daring. They don’t conform to normal theories about how to succeed. They have a wild originality and fanatical drive for excellence. If you might ever be interested in exploring the possible advantages of having a screw loose for the sake of your ambitions, the coming months will be one of the best times ever.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Am I one of your father figures, uncle figures, or brother figures? I hope so! I have worked hard to purge the toxic aspects of masculinity that I inherited from my culture. And I have diligently and gleefully cultivated the most beautiful aspects of masculinity. Plus, my feminist principles have been ripening and growing stronger for many years. With that as our background, I encourage you to spend the coming weeks upgrading your own relationship to the masculine archetype, no matter which of the 77 genders you might be. I see this as an excellent time for you to take practical measures to get the very best male influences in your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Now that your

mind, your heart, and your world have opened wider than you imagined possible, try to anticipate how they might close down if you're not always as bold and brave as you have been in recent months.

Then sign a contract with yourself, promising that you will not permit your mind, your heart, and your world to shrink or narrow. If you proactively heal your fears before they break out, maybe they won’t break out. (PS: I will acknowledge that there may eventually be a bit of contraction you should allow to fully integrate the changes—but only a bit.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I would love you to cultivate connections with characters who can give you shimmery secrets and scintillating stories you need to hear. In my astrological opinion, you are in a phase when you require more fascination, amazement, and intrigue than usual. If love and sex are included in the exchange, so much the better—but they are not mandatory elements in your assignment. The main thing is this: For the sake of your mental, physical, and spiritual health, you must get your limitations dissolved, your un-

derstanding of reality enriched, and your vision of the future expanded.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio writer An-

drew Solomon made a very Scorpionic comment when he wrote, "We all have our darkness, and the trick is making something exalted of it." Of all the signs of the zodiac, you have the greatest potential to accomplish this heroic transmutation—and to do it with panache, artistry, and even tenderness.

I trust you are ready for another few rounds of your mysterious specialty. The people in your life would benefit from it almost as much as you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you

been nursing the hope that someday you will retrain your loved ones? That you will change them in ways that make them act more sensibly? That you will convince them to shed qualities you don’t like and keep just the good parts? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to drop this fantasy. In its place, I advise you to go through whatever mental gymnastics are necessary as you come to accept and love them exactly as they are. If you can manage that, there will be a bonus development: You will be more inclined to accept and love yourself exactly as you are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I brazenly

predict that in the next 11 months, you will get closer than ever before to doing your dream job.

Because of your clear intentions, your diligent pragmatism, and the Fates’ grace, life will present you with good opportunities to earn money by doing what you love and providing an excellent service to your fellow creatures.

But I’m not necessarily saying everything will unfold with perfection.

And I am a bit afraid that you will fail to capitalize on your chances by being too insistent on perfection. Please assuage my doubts, Capricorn! Welcome imperfect but interesting progress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his book Ambivalent Zen, Lawrence Shainberg mourns that even while meditating, his mind is always fleeing from the present moment—forever “lurching towards the future or clinging to the past.” I don’t agree that this is a terrible thing. In fact, it’s a consummately human characteristic. Why demonize and deride it? But I can also see the value of spending quality time in the here and now—enjoying each new unpredictable moment without compulsively referencing it to other times and places. I bring this up, Aquarius, because I believe that in the coming weeks, you can enjoy far more free time in the rich and resonant present than is normally possible for you. Make “BE HERE NOW” your gentle, relaxing battle cry.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Two-thirds of us

claim to have had a paranormal encounter. Onefourth say they can telepathically sense other people’s emotions. One-fifth have had conversations with the spirits of the dead. As you might guess, the percentage of Pisceans in each category is higher than all the rest of the zodiac signs.

And I suspect that number will be even more elevated than usual in the coming weeks. I hope you love spooky fun and uncanny mysteries and semi-miraculous epiphanies! Here they come.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Polish-born author Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) didn’t begin to speak English until he was 21 years old. At 25, his writing in that language was still stiff and stilted. Yet during the next 40+ years, he employed his adopted tongue to write 19 novels, numerous short stories, and several other books. Today he is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language. You may not embark on an equally spectacular growth period in the coming months, Aries. But you do have extra power to begin mastering a skill or subject that could ultimately be crucial to your life story. Be inspired by Conrad’s magnificent accomplishments.

THE MEDICINE CABINET WITHIN HOLISTIC MEDICINE AND YOUR POWER TO BE WELL

By Joshua Phillips, ND

O

ver 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that is typically progressive and causes the decline of cognitive function, ultimately leading to worsening dementia. Dementia is defined as a gradual decline in a person’s memory, as well as their ability to think clearly and coherently, diminishing the ability of an individual to function well socially and independently. Not everyone with symptoms of dementia has Alzheimer’s disease, but Mayo Clinic estimates that of the 55 million individuals with dementia worldwide, 60-70% of those cases are caused by the brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s.

Research into the underlying causes and pharmacological interventions for treating Alzheimer’s has long been focused on proteins called Tau, and beta-amyloid plaques that seem to be toxic to neurons, as well as disruptive to the trillions of neuronal connections in the brain. Unfortunately, drugs designed to address these phenomena have not been able to make an appreciable difference in the trajectory of cognitive function and decline in those with dementia.

While some genetic and familial influence has been identified, except in the rarest cases, there is not a genetic pattern that guarantees someone will get dementia. There do, however, appear to be several lifestyle, social and chronic health issues associated with the health of our brains. It has become clear that many of these may be contributors to the development of Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline.

It’s not a big surprise that smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are just not associated with keeping our brains and nervous systems healthy, but in fact appear to increase the risk for degenerative changes as we age. Repeated head trauma (TBIs) also increases the risk of developing dementia, as does obesity, lack of exercise, chronic unmanaged stress and habitually poor sleep patterns.

Without a doubt, regular exercise, eating a healthful diet and preventing chronic illnesses are great ways to positively influence the health of our brain as we age.

A body of research also implicates blood sugar dysregulation and insulin resistance as having an influence on brain health and cognitive decline.

In fact, there are doctors and researchers, including a Dr. Dale Bredesen, who advocates that blood sugar regulation is

key to preventing and treating dementia, and promotes a ketogenic diet as part of his treatment strategy. He further advocates addressing all aspects of health that can be generators of inflammation, such as chronic infections, environmental exposures and an inflamed gut, all having the potential to act as ongoing insults to the nervous system. In his book “The End of Alzheimer’s Program,” Bredesen goes into detail describing his rationale and unconventional treatment approaches.

Much could be said on the topic of gut health in general and its connection to brain health and cognitive function.

A reference back to this author’s previous article, “The Gut-Brain Connection” published in the Source Weekly last year, sheds more light on this subject.

Beyond the realm of physiologic health contributions to brain health or disease, are the many ways that our social and creative activities influence brain health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, social isolation increases the risk of premature death from all disease causes, as well as increasing the risk of developing dementia by 50%. The very simple and crucial time spent with other humans might be one of the most important things we can do for our cognitive health.

Social endeavors like playing games, while also interacting with friends and family, are tremendously good for our brains and cognition. Games like cards or crossword puzzles done individually are also helpful. Creative outlets such as playing and listening to music are wonderful and enjoyable ways to support brain health. An overview of music and dementia in the journal “Practical Neurology” describes the benefits of music for those with dementia and their caregivers alike, while another study titled “Singing for the Brain” suggests that singing resulted in “lifting of the spirits” as well as a “positive impacts on memory” among other positive outcomes.

While conventional medical thinking around dementia and Alzheimer’s is commonly referred to as unpreventable and incurable, there may in fact be many ways in which we can influence and support a healthy brain and nervous system as we grow older.

Answering Your Questions! play here. First, where are you advertising your home as being for sale? As a licensed broker, I check the MLS daily, but I check the syndicated sites (Zillow, Homes, etc....) less, as there are not a lot of FSBO homes to begin with in Bend (645 in Bend MLS, and 12 FSBO on Zillow as of this writing). Another factor that many FSBOs don’t consider is that from a liability perspective, it can get a little sticky dealing directly with the owners of a property. Most of these owners do not know all the details of a transaction or all the accompanying paperwork, so the buyer’s agent is doing a lot more work since they are not working with a listing agent. Furthermore, most of these owners seek the advice of the buyer’s agent, despite the agent not having any agency with the seller, so therefore have no duty to look out for their best interest or provide them with any advice/guidance. The other issue and most likely factor is the price; oftentimes homeowners have inflated expectations of what their home is worth. Bend is a very desirable place to live and people are searching for places to purchase by looking all over various sites online. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like some professional advice on your sale!

Q: Which of the following towns will see the biggest increase in population growth in the next five years: Madras, Prineville or La Pine?

A: Great question! All three places offer something a little unique and likely is a personal choice. Those that prefer cooler, more mountainous environments will obviously prefer La Pine, whereas those looking to farm or ranch will prefer Madras or Prineville, depending on specifics. If I were to guess I would select Prineville, but all three towns have great potential, not to mention lower price tags on single family properties.

63 VOLUME 28 ISSUE 20 / MAY 16, 2024 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Over the last few weeks, we have had several new questions as well as a few instances of similar questions being asked by multiple readers, so here we go with our spring mailbag.

Q: Why is an agent who sells a $1,000,000 home versus a $500,000 in theory paid twice as much assuming both properties offer an equal commission split?

Why would I trust a buyer’s agent, when the more I pay for a home, the more they make?

A: We can walk through an example, but we’ll have to make several assumptions. The first assumption is that the listing agent is offering a commission split of 2.5%, and that the buyer’s agent has an 80/20 split with their brokerage, meaning the brokerage keeps 20% of the commission earned by the agent. If I have a client interested in purchasing, say, a $450,000 home, my goal/job is to get them the best deal possible; why? If I can get a $450,000 home for my clients for $430,000, they save $20,000 and my commission is impacted by about $400 ($450,000x0.025=$11250… $11250x0.8=9000) and you can do the same for the $430,000 amount and get $8,600. I would much rather my clients have an extra $20k, especially since they are keeping me in business, rather than an extra $400 in my pocket. Anyone who hires me to help them purchase a home is someone I want to help get the best deal possible, because if I can get them a good deal, they will be far more likely to refer my services to others or use my services themselves again, and that is how you build/maintain a loyal client base.

Q: I am selling my home by myself and am not getting many showings from agents, do agents try and not show For Sale By Owner homes?

A: There could be a couple issues at
