our sister rescues. We thank The Oregon Community Foundation and Deschutes County for their support of this effort to find forever homes for these lovely rescued horses. For more resources, please check www.LoveOregonHorses.com website.

Meet Chiquita! This little mare is a pretty Warm Springs girl who is eager to please and loves attention.

Rescued from the Eugene Auction in November of last year, she is looking for her forever home!

This sweet girl has come a long way since we began her training in November. She’s a good student and concentrates on her trainer very well. She has been under saddle and has a rider on her back, however she is still building confidence under saddle and is not ready to be ridden.

Despite that, we think she’ll make a lovely trail horse one day soon!

Please check the Equine Outreach website for more information about Chiquita and many others we have available for adoption at www.equineoutreach.com.

Family-Friendly Red Red is a very kind gelding looking for a family to call his own. He’s fun for advanced riders, quiet for beginners, and exceptionally gentle on the ground for family members. Red is just one of a variety of horses available for adoption at Mustangs To The Rescue in Bend. Learn more about adopting by calling 541-330-8943 or emailing adopt@mustangstotherescue.org.

Give Maple the perfect home Maple is a stunning BLM Mustang. She was rounded up in 2018 from the Warm Springs herd management area.

A teen worked with her after round-up in the Teens and Mustangs Challenge. However, (likely during her roundup) Maple tore a tendon and injured her fetlock. She was left to the BLM corrals, her fate was to be euthanized as she was considered unusable.

She has done liberty and would perhaps be a nice cart horse, or in-hand trail work. Maple is not rideable due to her round up injury, but is sound.

She has come so far and now 3 Sisters Rescue just needs one person to step in and give her the perfect home.

Something—besides the obvious lifting of mask mandates for vaccinated individuals—happened this week that gave me and my staff a sense that life may be slowly returning to more of a normal pace. The Source Weekly’s events calendar was, pre-COVID, nearly always the number-one visited page on our website, but over the past year, it’s slipped down in rank in favor of important newsyou-can-use in a pandemic. While watching our web numbers can only offer a limited glimpse into what people are doing in our community, seeing the calendar rise to once again be a top hit on our site felt like a milestone.

With area venues beginning to announce some big shows for the summer, it’s no surprise that locals would be looking for that info from the Source, which hosts the most comprehensive events calendar in the region.

Next week, in another sign of some normalcy, we’ll roll out a 2021 Summer Guide that outlines all the music shows we know about to date, as well as a look at some of the other fun stuff the summer will bring. In the meantime, we welcome the sight of readers once again visiting the calendar in great numbers, to see what to do and what to plan for. Here’s hoping for a fun summer!

The Center Must Hold. Oregon Politicians Should Return to It.

N

ot long ago, the Deschutes Republicans sent out an email that demonstrated some wild swings in rationality. At the top of the email, it came out in favor of a bill—now defeated in the Oregon House—by Rep. Jack Zika (R-Redmond) that aimed to restore the balance of power in state government by allowing the state legislature to terminate the state of emergency that has been in effect since March 2020. A state of emergency gives the governor broader powers, and people on either side of the aisle agree that there should be an end date on a single person having that type of broad unchecked power.

With this part of the Deschutes Republicans’ recent email, we agree. A set of checks and balances is a foundation of representative democracy.

Had they stopped there, local Republicans would have helped themselves immensely. But inside the same correspondence, they went so far into speculative, unfounded fear mongering, they lost us. Deschutes Republicans declared that comprehensive sex education effectively sets kids up to be victims of pedophilia. Local Republicans were making the assertion that instructing young people about the basics of sex, about consent, about birth control and about how LGBTQ youth—and other youth—can protect their sexual health sets them up to be victims of child sex abuse.

At a time when divisions in our society are more defined than ever, creating a political platform that allows for a center is overdue. It’s where most people want their politics to exist. Stoking wild fears about unfounded child sex abuse theories undercuts the ability for people to engage with more pragmatic discussion about our state government.

At a time when we need a robust debate about the powers of the legislature balanced with those of our governor, Republicans do themselves a disservice by sending a message to supporters that combines that very important topic with one that is unfounded and quite troubling. With the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines around mask wearing, we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in regard to this pandemic. With that will come the end of a state of emergency for our state.

This is a time for a robust debate about what happens next. But how can the vast majority of those who want to contemplate such topics do so, when the people who represent the right are diving off the deep end talking about sex ed’s purported ties to pedophilia?

We know we live in an era when disinformation is rampant. We brace ourselves for it when we venture onto our social media channels—but we don’t expect it to come from influential political entities like the Deschutes Republicans. It might be tempting for a party that is out of power in all statewide offices in Oregon to want to swing as hard-right as they can to try to placate “the base,” but the hard-right is not the basis of the Republican party as a whole. In a recent opinion piece in The Washington Post, author Perry Bacon Jr. points out that Trump-skeptical Republicans are estimated to be 8 to 10% of the electorate—the total electorate, not just that of their own party.

While trying to drive the Republican party further to the right might be a strategy at the national level, it is not working for Oregonians and Republicans like Zika who seem to actually want to get things done for their districts. Leaders who care would be wise to rein in the marketing arm of the local party.

RE: AS BEND TRANSITIONS TO A CITY, BE READY TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE “BIG P”. OPINION, 4/15

I agree with Mike Walker here—we need to have a community conversation about parking. It’s a tough one: on one hand, local data projects increased demand for parking on Bend streets. On the other, the value of this same land is increasing quickly. No one wants their residential neighborhood flooded with outside cars. Here in Old Bend, we’ve reclaimed our curbsides with a pilot Parking District program, (It’s a work in progress…) But, we should be in full support of the City adopting more flexible parking codes to allow for the right development, in the right places—Think, the Bend Central District. Affordable housing is not attainable in the core of Bend without allowing smart, vertical-mixed-use development. The City is working to modernize our parking standards to fit the City that we are growing into. “No parking minimums” are only intended for very specific zones. Let’s make sure they also have a plan for protecting residential neighborhoods! More asphalt on-grade parking with California-style cars-per-capita is not the answer (in some places). The best cities have embraced a pedestrian friendly core, and elevated human-scale transit. I see Bend as the best City of the future, but we’re going to have to grow up and embrace the nuance of smart growth.

ANOTHER DOG LOST IN THE CANAL AT SMITH ROCK

I just received another call from a very anguished dog owner who let her dog off leash in Smith Rock, and the dog was swept away in the swift current in the canal!

Every year innocent dogs lose their lives, despite the fact that the signs are clearly posted to keep dogs on leash. PET has purchased addition signs (attached) with pictures of dogs who have perished in the canal. The canal has grates across it that make survival nearly impossible.

Wondering if you could remind people, again, in the Source. You might check with the irrigation district about how many dogs per year are pulled off the grates.

In my youth I was raised to treat others as I wished to be treated and to judge others by their character and abilities.

Since that has worked for me in life, I am taken back by the left’s promotion of “identity politics” with their emphasis on race, gender, religious and sexual preferences. President Biden and the press took this to the extreme by introducing his cabinet members in terms of their race, gender, sexual preference, or religious beliefs, not ability or qualifications. To me, putting the emphasis on one’s race is the definition of racism and is a losing proposition. When we select someone for a position largely because of their race, or gender we risk offending someone of another race, or another gender who wasn’t selected. The potential for endless conflict is high.

We are approaching the point where every school board, or city council is evaluated for its racial or gender balance, with some emphasis on sexual preference and religion. Are teachers to be hired based on “identity politics,” rather than ability? I hope not. Would you board a plane on an airline that placed racial, or gender equality for pilots, as a higher priority than ability?? As long as the selection standards are clear and everyone is given equal opportunity there should be no controversy.

I know racism exists and we should not tolerate it. However, the current trend of labeling people racist if they disagree with you, or having politicians and the media using “identity politics” is placing emphasis on our differences rather than our similarities and is dividing the country. The use of “identity politics” and “wokism” should be resisted at every level.

Very truly yours.

Gov Kate Brown announces lifting of mask mandates for vaccinated people in certain settings—but schools, public transportation and health care clinics are among the places mandates remain in place

By Jack Harvel

T

he more than year-long mandate requiring masks in public places in Oregon will soon be lifted for people with proof they've been vaccinated in accordance with new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance.

“Starting today, Oregon will be following this guidance, which only applies to fully vaccinated individuals,” Gov. Kate Brown said in a statement May 13.

“That means Oregonians who are fully vaccinated no longer need to wear masks or social distance in most public spaces.”

The new guidelines are another sign that the pandemic is coming closer to an end, Brown said. Still, there will be several exceptions for the lifting of the mandate; masks are still required in public transportation, hospitals, health care clinics, correctional facilities and long-term care facilities. The plan for schools remains the same, with students required to wear masks and distanced while inside the buildings.

Locally, a statement from St. Charles Health System stated there would be no change to current policies for its health facilities.

“Yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control announced that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19

can stop wearing masks and physically distancing in certain places, with exceptions that include health care facilities,” a press release from St. Charles stated May 14. “This means there will be no changes to St. Charles Health System’s current policies that require masking and distancing in our hospitals, clinics and other sites. All patients, visitors and caregivers are still required to wear a mask or face covering at St. Charles.”

The health system will continue to update its policies along CDC guidelines once they become available, the release stated.

Meanwhile, Brown said immune-compromised people should continue wearing masks and ask their health care providers about changing their personal protective measures. Guidance for the reopening process were released on Tuesday, which specified that proof of vaccination is requird to remove mask requirements.

“Some businesses may prefer to simply continue operating under the current guidance for now, rather than worrying about verifying vaccination status,” Brown said. “Oregonians now have a choice of how to protect themselves and others from COVID-19: either get vaccinated, or continue

wearing a mask and following physical distancing requirements.”

So far, Oregon has fully vaccinated just under 40% of its total population. Earlier statements from the governor said a 70% vaccination rate among people aged 16 and over would

allow the state to ditch most restrictions, and 65% for individual counties.

On Tuesday Gov. Brown announced Deschutes, along with four other counties, had reached that benchmark and would be eligible as low risk by Friday, May 21.

Sick as a Dog

With Central Oregon lacking 24-hour emergency veterinary services, veterinarians are stepping up to treat patients

By Jack Harvel Courtesy Marco Verch

O

n May 1, Bend Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Clinic cut back its hours in response to a staffing shortage, leaving Central Oregon without a 24-hour emergency veterinary clinic.

The new hours are 2 pm to midnight on weekdays and 8 am to midnight on weekends. Without this critical service, some vets are stepping up and treating patients when an emergency arises.

“There are regular vets in town that have stepped up and are seeing their patients in the middle of the night,” said Dr. Shalet Abraham, a vet at Bend Specialty and Emergency Clinic. “There are several practices in town that are doing on-call emergencies in the night until we’re able to step back up and hire and have full 24/7 service again.”

Without an emergency room, Abraham said pet owners should establish a relationship with a veterinarian in town and discuss options for

emergency care. The clinic isn’t cutting hours permanently, but for now the change is indefinite.

“That is our ultimate goal, and our ultimate hope is to get back to 24/7 service, but we don’t know exactly when the timeline on that will be,” Abraham said.

The issue could be tricky for people new in town who haven’t had a chance to meet a local vet, and for tourists who bring their pets to Bend.

“It’s gonna be a little tougher for that for them, unfortunately, than the people who have regular vets here in town,” Abraham said. “They may need to make some phone calls around to some regular events and see if somebody would be able to come in and see them. Or, worst case scenario they may have to drive to either Southern Oregon or Eugene. That’s where the closest other 24-hour hospitals are right now.”

Noticias en Español La gobernadora Kate Brown anuncia la suspensión del mandato del uso del cubrebocas en ciertos lugares para las personas vacunadas Por Jack Harvel Traducido por Jéssica Sánchez-Millar atención médica, centros penitenciarios y centros de cuidado a largo plazo.

El plan para las escuelas sigue siendo el mismo, el cual requiere que los estudiantes usen el cubrebocas y que mantengan el distanciamiento social estando dentro de las instalaciones de la escuela.

A nivel local, un comunicado de St. Charles Health Systems indicó que no habría cambios en las medidas actuales de sus centros de salud.

“Ayer, los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades anunciaron que las personas que están completamente vacunadas contra COVID-19 pueden dejar de usar el cubrebocas y de seguir el distanciamiento social en ciertos lugares, con excepciones que incluyen a los centros de salud,” indicó un comunicado de St. Charles del 14 de mayo. “Esto significa que no habrá cambios en las normas actuales de St. Charles Health System, las cuales requieren del uso del cubrebocas y el distanciamiento social en nuestros

hospitales, clínicas y otras instalaciones. A todo paciente, visitante o proveedor de cuidados se les solicita seguir usando un cubrebocas o cubierta facial en St. Charles.”

Su informe indicó que, una vez que estén disponibles, el sistema de salud continuará actualizando sus normas según las guías de la CDC. Mientras tanto, Brown dijo que las personas inmunológicamente comprometidas deben continuar usando el cubrebocas y preguntar a su proveedor de atención médica como cambiar sus medidas de protección personal.

Próximamente se ofrecerá una orientación para los comercios para que sepan cómo deben proceder con los clientes vacunados que no están usando el cubrebocas.

“En los próximos días, la Autoridad de Salud de Oregon ofrecerá una guía actualizada para los comercios, empleadores y más, para permitir la opción de suspender los requisitos del uso del cubrebocas y

el distanciamiento físico después de haber verificado su estado de vacunación. Algunos comercios pueden preferir seguir implementando la guía actual por el momento en vez de preocuparse en verificar su estado de vacunación” comentó Brown. “Los habitantes de Oregon tienen ahora la opción de protegerse a sí mismos y a otras personas del COVID-19: ya sea vacunándose o con el uso continuo del cubrebocas y al seguir los requisitos del distanciamiento social.”

Hasta el momento, Oregon ha vacunado por completo a un poco menos del 40% de su población total. Declaraciones anteriores de la gobernadora, indicaron, que una tasa de vacunación del 70% entre las personas mayores de 16 años, permitirá al estado deshacerse de la mayoría de las restricciones.

How the 2020 transportation bond will change travel in Bend

By Jack Harvel Cascades East Transit buses line up at Hawthorne Station.

T

he 2020 Transportation General Obligation Bond passed in 2020 with a strong majority of support, showing that people in Bend have taken notice of the growing problems with traffic congestion, poor walkability and unsafe biking.

So with the bond passed, now what?

It took three years for the City to create an implementation plan that would address problems in the community before putting it out to vote. After numerous meetings with stakeholder groups, polling and public forums a Transportation System Plan was released. The 143-page document details the goals, elements, funding strategies and implementation plan for the next decade and beyond.

“We thought it prudent to do polling throughout the entire community to see, number one, what they see as top values, not specific priorities, but overarching needs,” Mayor Sally Russell said. “We came to the conclusion that it made more sense to invest in corridors that move people throughout our community, as well as specific fixes throughout our community.”

The result is a plan that improves on east/west travel, safety for bicyclists and pedestrians and continued funding of the transit system.

Road/Freight Twenty-two of the near-term projects completed under the bond are road projects to alleviate congestion and better connect east and west Bend, and improving intersections that get cluttered with

traffic. The projects include widening lanes, improving highway access and intersection improvements.

“There’s a lot of intersection improvements in the GO bond project list—intersection improvements that are constantly an issue for us,” said Sinclair Burr, a project engineer for the City of Bend.

Roundabouts and signal improvements include those at 15th Street and Wilson, Bear Creek and Pettigrew and Colorado Avenue at US 97.

City will undertake is the Reed Market Road railroad over-cross that will bypass the railroad tracks and eliminate any need for cars to stop for train crossings. As those who travel near the 15th and Reed Market intersection know, seeing a train crossing during busy commute times means backed-up traffic in many directions.

An issue not technically funded by the transportation bond, but that will drastically affect driving conditions, is

“You can see we do not have the space for 50% more cars, whether that’s on the roads in terms of traffic jams and congestion, or off the roads in terms of parking.”

—Ariel Méndez “There’s a lot of other projects that improve capacity as well as safety by implementing either signal or roundabout improvement,” Burr said.

The City will work with the Oregon Department of Transportation on connectivity to highways—with major projects being ramps at Butler Market Road and Murphy Road.

“Right now we just have a southbound on-ramp and a northbound offramp, but getting the other two ramps built is certainly going to improve capacity at that interchange,” Burr said of the Murphy Road projects.

Another of the keystone projects the

the US 97/US 20 Corridor. The project will divert a portion of Hwy 97 that passes by the Cascade Village Shopping area to the east, and what was Hwy 97 will be converted into Third Street. The area frequently experiences high volumes of traffic. While 2020 saw lower numbers than years past, Highway 97 still saw plenty of traffic.

“Our high month was August of last year was 57,552 vehicles going both directions per day,” said ODOT Public Information Officer Peter Murphy.

“It declined last year a little bit due to COVID, I think, but the trend has been steadily upward.”

In June, ODOT will request bids from contractors, and construction is expected to begin in Fall of 2022.

“This project will realign one of the most congested portions of U.S. 97 in the City of Bend and improve a section of U.S. 20. The U.S. 97 Bend North Corridor project includes a realignment of U.S. 97, improved intersections, new ramps connections at critical locations to improve local and highway traffic, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities,” ODOT wrote on its website.

These projects will alleviate some of the traffic woes of people who are frustrated with more time spent in cars during commutes, but will also help commercial drivers have an easier way around the community.

“We have a lot of different delivery vehicles to our residents throughout our entire community. We have delivery vehicles that come into our community that are larger and serve our retailers and our restaurants. We also have a lot of local delivery,” Russell said. “So we need to be sure that people count on those services to be able to move throughout our town and to get the products and the services they need.”

But roads only make up a piece of the puzzle, and a lot of the bond will go toward “multimodal,” or more diverse forms of transportation, in the city.

Pedestrian/Transit Much of the bond will go toward improving the walkability of the city.

Many areas, more often in the older

FEATURE Biking Biking is popular in the city, and Bend has garnered a reputation as a “bike city.” But much of the infrastructure in Bend keeps cyclists on the streets next to cars, which can cause stressful rides around town.

“When people think about ‘bike city,’ they’re thinking mountain biking, they’re thinking primarily in terms of recreation,” said Ariel Méndez, board member for Bend Park and Recreation District and a safe streets advocate. “But as soon as you start thinking about biking for transportation, like biking to the grocery store, or to the doctor’s office or school, it’s like a whole other ballgame.”

Bond funds focus on 12 key routes that will connect pedestrian and bike routes that make multimodal transportation less stressful and more viable. Unlike Neighborhood Greenways, which are meant to be bike paths on less-busy streets, these paths will be buffered from traffic, or disconnected entirely from roads.

“They cover a lot of Bend, and they will connect people with a lot of important amenities, whether that’s their work or shopping or even tourists to come to town and hopefully take advantage of these key routes,” Méndez said. “I’m

As those who travel near the 15th and Reed Market intersection know, seeing a train crossing during busy commute times means backed-up traffic in many directions.

The TSP also calls for mobility hubs to be placed in all four city quadrants and in the core area to end the current reliance on Hawthorne Station for bus routes—an issue that may placate the neighbors around the current Hawthorne Station, who complain about it being unsafe and not designed as a formal bus hub. The new hubs will be places for bus stops, but will also host secure bicycling parking, car and bike share services and shuttle services.

not satisfied with more buffered painted bike lanes, because I think the evidence shows that’s not what gets more people out and feeling comfortable biking.”

Some of the higher-dollar projects include creating a low-stress bikeway along NE Boyd Acres Road between Butler Market Road and Empire Avenue, with another bikeway connecting Brinson Boulevard to NE Sixth Street along Butler Market Road. Another shared-use path is planned along Courtesy ODOT

areas of Bend, lack any type of sidewalks and large right of ways on the street.

“In some of the originally platted areas, they have really broad and wide right of ways, but they never put in the sidewalks,” Russell said.

Russell said the need for sidewalks was a big concern for people when the City was creating the Transportation System Plan. The main focus of adding sidewalks is to create a safer environment for people to go short distances around town.

“That makes this multimodal construction even more important in those parts of the community that never had that opportunity to even walk their kids to the park that’s a mile to half-mile away, or walk with their kids to school,” Russell said.

To complement a more walkable community, the Transportation System Plan also expands on the current state of transit. Cascades East Transit currently runs nine routes in Bend, but under the TSP would expand and improve with more routes and better access for people, with tools including real-time tracking of bus routes through GPS. “It’s gonna look really different than the transit that we grew up with,” Russell said.

Painted bike lanes on Riverside Boulevard.

Wilson Avenue, from Second Street to 15th St. The plan also includes creating a shared-use path adjacent to Bear Creek Road east to the city limits; a shared-use path near NE Neff Road from NE 12th to Big Sky Park; and a shared-use path adjacent to 27th Street to connect Highway 20 and Reed Market Road, among other smaller projects.

“What I’ll be focusing on is establishing a core of east west and north that are really safe and convenient for people,” Méndez said.

Méndez believes the best way to get more people biking is physical barriers between biking on streets, as well as separate bike paths. He believes this will make travel more pleasant for both bikers and will reduce many of the issues facing drivers.

“If you look at population projections, we’re supposed to add 50% more people in the next two decades,” Méndez said. “You can see we do not have the space for 50% more cars, whether that’s on the roads in terms of traffic jams and congestion, or off the roads in terms of parking.”

Equitability The City implemented equity mapping as a tool in the planning process, which stresses the importance of diversity of transportation methods to ensure an equitable access to transportation in Bend for all incomes.

“It’s equity mapping to make sure that, as we are looking at the goal of people who work here can live here, you’ve got to begin to recognize that to own a car, to maintain a car, to charge a car, put gas in a car, to have insurance on a car, is really expensive,” Russell said.

Equity mapping recognizes the different needs of people making different incomes in Bend and providing alternative ways that they can travel.

The process works “to make sure that we’re providing to those neighborhoods throughout Bend who may have less financial capacity then making sure we’re getting the right, whether or not it’s transit services, or whatever products they need on the ground for them to move through our community safely and equitably from right, from an access point, from a financial point,” Russell said.

Oversight The City’s citizen-led transportation bond oversite committee was scheduled to hold its first meeting on May 18, the first of many in which members will advise the City on how to implement the transportation bond. Most of the near-term goals could be completed if funding from various partners can be secured.

“At the city we have quite a few different partners, whether it be the park district, the county, COIC (Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council) which is our local Transit Agency and it kind of just depends on the facility,” Project Engineer Burr said.

The oversite committee will be instrumental in deciding on the priority of projects over the next several years.

“The idea is to get all of these projects done in the next 10 years, and it’s going to be on this public committee, the oversight committee, to help city staff develop a prioritization for all these projects,” Burr said.

If the City is able to leverage those funding sources and finish projects under budget, it may be able to get a jump on mid- and long-term goals beyond the 10-year plan it is working from.

“It’s synergy of projects,” Russell said.

“If we do a good job, and inflation doesn’t get out of control, then we’re really fortunate, I’m very hopeful we will have additional dollars to go further.”

Dear Citizens of Bend and specifically the Galveston Corridor residents and business owners, The following is an opinion based on the facts known to date.

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / MAY 20, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

10

In July 2018, City of Bend Planner Aaron Henson approved a change of use at 1009 NW Galveston Avenue from retail use to a food and beverage use. This decision cleared the way for the opening of the Boss Rambler Beer Club at that location. The City of Bend skipped the statemandated public process for such land use decisions which include (1) notice to all neighbors within 250 feet of the proposed development, and (2) the posting of a sign on the property notifying the public of the proposed land use. The purpose of these state mandated requirements is to allow people directly impacted by the proposed land use action, as well as the general public the opportunity to voice their concerns.

Those concerns may include any issues with the application; failures to conform with the development code or support or opposition to the land use application and ensuing development.

The most pertinent issue that the Galveston Corridor has experienced for many years is an extreme lack of sufficient parking. In the application Mr. Henson approved without the required notice to the neighbors and the public, parking was a pivotal issue. Mr. Henson approved the land use application in direct conflict with the Bend Development Code (BDC), specifically section 3.3.300C5 below.

BDC 3.3.500C5 Shared Parking: Required parking facilities for two or more uses, structures, or parcels of land may be satisfied by the same parking facilities used jointly, to the extent that the owners or operators show that the need for parking facilities does not materially overlap (e.g. uses primarily of a daytime versus nighttime nature, or of a weekday vs weekend nature) and provided, that the right of joint use is evidenced by a binding agreement that is tied to the land or similar written instrument establishing the joint use. The binding agreement may restrict future changes to use of the property, Shared parking is encouraged.

In the application Mr. Henson approved, the Change of Use for the property was from retail to a drinking/food establishment. Food and beverage businesses are required to provide more parking per the Development code due to increased traffic volume. This proposed change of use was a direct overlapping use with the two drinking/food establishments next door in The Bakery Building which shares parking spaces with 1009 NW Galveston Avenue under a binding, continuing written easement Prior to granting the change of use, Mr. Henson was notified in writing that BDC 3.3.300(C)(5) prohibits the use of shared parking to satisfy the City’s parking requirements when the uses that share the parking are the same use, (i.e. drinking/food and drinking/food). Mr. Henson approved the proposed change of use and did not address the concern that all the parking that Boss Rambler has access to, and may have access to on an adjacent parking lot, are shared with an overlapping use and therefore cannot be used to meet the requirements of the Bend Development Code section 3.3.300C5.

In approving the Change of Use for Boss Rambler Beer Club through a Land Use Exemption, the City of Bend circumvented the required public land use process, resulting in a 2-1/2 year lawsuit with the Bakery Building, LLC. The Bakery Building, LLC sued Boss Rambler Beer Club for the parking and land use violations and sued the City of Bend for the illegal decision that caused the dispute. The City of Bend refused to acknowledge its violation of state land use laws and the requirements of its own Development Code. Instead, the City dug-in and defended against the Bakery Buildings, LLC’s lawsuit.

In late summer of 2020, several near-by neighbors learned of the illegal land use decision and filed an appeal with the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) in Salem. Less than a month after the appeal was filed with LUBA, the City of Bend unilaterally withdrew the decision for reconsideration rather than fight the appeal at LUBA. Six months later, on March 29, 2021, the City of Bend rescinded Mr. Henson’s illegal land use decision. On April 12, 2021, the City of Bend agreed to settle the lawsuit and pay the Bakery Building, LLC to dismiss the City of Bend from the litigation.

Upon rescinding the illegal decision, the City of Bend required the owners of the Boss Rambler Beer Club to re-apply and obtain a Change of Use approval in accordance with the City’s procedural and substantive requirements which require notice to neighbors and the public to allow those who wish to be included in the process to be included. This process would be in accordance with the required state mandated process that should have been used in 2018.

The “new application” submitted by Boss Rambler Beer Club is essentially the old application with the same information. It includes the same shared parking arrangement that violates BDC 3.3.300(C)(5) and lacks criteria that all people in the City of Bend are required to submit to obtain land use approval.

Unfortunately, the City of Bend is continuing to allow the un-permitted Boss Rambler Beer Club to continue to operate despite having none of the required City of Bend land use approvals while they plod through the land use process with the re-submitted patently deficient application.

Additionally, the serving of alcohol to patrons from an establishment that has no land use approval and should not be operating presents a risk of liability to the City of Bend taxpayers if an unfortunate injury event occurs.

The neighbors who have for years dealt with the ongoing parking conflicts in the Galveston corridor over the past years now see how the City Planning Department, the City Counsel, and specifically, Mayor Sally Russell and Assistant City Attorney Ian Leitheiser have consistently looked the other way while being acutely aware of the Boss Rambler Beer Club situation. In doing so, rather than attempt to rectify the parking problem in the Galveston corridor, the City’s actions continue to exacerbate the problem.

The citizens of Bend will have to wait and watch to see if the City will allow a bar/restaurant to continue to operate without any land use approval and then again, simply rubber-stamp the same application and approve the same change of use based on the same shared parking arrangement that the Development Code prohibits. The required public process has not yet begun, but the preliminary signs are not promising that this time the City will hold this applicant to the same parking and other site improvement standards with which all commercial businesses and residential people in Bend must comply with.

Coming Soon: Tyler Martian’s ‘Refined’ The rapper looks ahead to his second project and aims to be better than ever

he sophomore slump is referenced in a lot of areas— academics, sports and even music., but Bend’s own Tyler Martin (aka Tyler Martian) wants to make sure his next release is way better than the first.

This past weekend, Martin dropped the first single and video for his upcoming project, titled “Refined.” The track is the intro to the upcoming release; Martin isn’t sure if it will end up as an album or mixtape yet, but he says the songs keep on “piling in.”

“Putting that first one out kind of put me into that ‘what Tyler Martian looks to refine his skills on his upcoming now?’” Martin said. “The next sophomore project. step for me was to figure that out.

CULTURE

The Bees and the Words

Buzz growing for recent novel, “The Music of Bees”

By Alyce Pearce

Courtesy Eileen Garvin

Garvin’s new novel has recently received national attention, including on “Good Morning, America”

events, three characters’ lives intertwine, taking readers on a journey of self as they reflect on the past, and ultimately find the courage to embrace the present.

Warmly capturing the quirkiness, goodness and fallibility of the human experience, Garvin adds texture to the storyline with themes we all can relate to: loss, survival, nourishment, growth, forgiveness, family and our relationship to community. The characters feel so real, you could easily bump into one at the grocery store. (And if you take a spontaneous trip to Hood River, you just might.)

Garvin’s second book and first fiction novel, “Bees,” builds on the success of her memoir, “How to Be a Sister,” a reflection upon her family life growing up with an autistic older sister. Her writing is bittersweet, brightened by her laugh-out-loud, yet understated sarcastic voice. Garvin’s new novel also draws from her real life staged in the Columbia River Gorge with its colorful locales, lifestyles and personalities.

I caught up with Garvin at her home, where—you guessed it—she tends to several of her own beehives. A secret garden of writing nooks and winding paths, her backyard sanctuary is home to approximately 60,000 bees—a pollinator heaven full of lupine, iris, fruit trees and lavender.

Garvin says the idea for her novel came out of nowhere.

“It started with Jake. My hive had died and I was going up at dusk to pick up a new package of bees,” she said.

“As I was driving through the winding orchard roads, I passed by a guy, in a wheelchair, with a mohawk. Needless to say it was a very arresting sight. The first line came into my head and I pulled over and wrote it down.”

Twelve weeks later, Garvin had crafted a story that begins in the brain of that teenager, moves to the mind of a mid-life widower and then to that of a wayward son. Through these three distinct inner voices, she creates page-turning anticipation for readers.

“I feel like the characters came from somewhere else,” she said. “I was just trying to do them the service of conveying their stories. The voices as they emerged were a process. I had to get to know them.”

As the characters’ trajectories overlap, their complexities and personal- Garvin tends to her own bees in Hood River. ities are mirrored by their interactions with the bees themselves. contextual messages to the reader.

f you’re a Central Oregon gardener, you appreciate the delicate dance that comes with springtime in the desert.

Abundant sunlight, yet sparse rainfall.

Praying you didn’t plant those seedlings too soon. Some years, even a single bloom seems a success. And without those pollinators, where would we be?

As the bees start buzzing, this time of transition is a perfect time to dig into regional author Eileen Garvin’s delightful debut novel, “The Music of Bees.” It’s a story sown with rich metaphors and life lessons that hum sweetly along in Garvin’s authentic and resonant voice.

“The Music of Bees” poignantly weaves the intricacies of bee–and beekeeper–behavior into a heartwarming tale that reminds us of our ineffable interconnectedness. Through a series of chance

Favorite reads from Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe

Editor’s note: Back in the before-times (aka pre-COVID), each month we worked with Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe to curate a selection of books readers might want to come pick up the evening of an upcoming First Friday. With First Friday still off the table for June, according to the event’s organizers, these books become ( just?) more great reads to add to your summer reading list. Oh, and downtown Bend’s First Friday is expected to return in July.

“Great Circle”

“Project Hail Mary”

“The Four Winds”

by Maggie Shipstead

by Andri Snær Magnason

by Andy Weir

by Kristin Hannah

Spanning a century and taking us from Montana and the Pacific Northwest to New Zealand, Alaska and beyond, this giant novel encompasses the history of early flight, life in the West, World War II and the adventure of the unknown. Following two different women—one an aviation pioneer and the other an actress tasked with playing her years after she disappeared, “Great Circle” will deservedly be one of the big books of the Summer. -TB

A poetic and haunting reflection of Iceland’s melting glacial splendor. A perfect book to get away from stats and to instead feel the losses of climate change in your soul. I was reminded both of Robert Macfarlane and Barry Lopez in the way it seeped in. -AA

Like everyone else, I loved “The Martian.” His follow-up, “Artemis,” was plenty of fun but felt kinda like Weir-lite. Expecting more of the same this time around, I was pleasantly surprised to find I was reading a scifi-thriller-first-contact-buddy comedy-bromance story! As crazy as that sounds, Weir absolutely nails it. “Project Hail Mary” is every bit the equal of “The Martian” and, dare I say, might even be better. I stayed up late into the night to finish this one and I suspect you will, too. One of my favorite reads of the year. -TB

A vivid tale of Dust Bowl “Oakies” as seen through the lens of shame, gender and class struggle. True to form, Hannah did tons of research and makes the time period come alive.

Not only that, she provides gripping descriptors that leave you feeling the grit scrape your skin and the anger of injustice boil inside your bones. -AA

A New Gathering Space for NWX

LITTLE BITES

By Nicole Vulcan

Jayna Milan

The Grove brings indoor/outdoor dining in a spacious dining hall

21

A

new “market hall” dining space will open later this month in Northwest Crossing, adding a wide array of new flavors to the area in one fell swoop... or rather, a few waves of swoops. The Grove, set to open May 28 at the corner of Mt. Washington and Northwest Crossing Drive in northwest Bend, is home to a 13,800-square-foot market hall containing nine spaces for food vendors, along with a bar, called Waypoint, launching by the owners of Bend Brewing Company.

Think of it as a well-designed food mall with a bar—and in the COVID era, plenty of space for hanging indoors or out.

The idea, said Christopher Jones of development firm Project PDX, was to create a gathering space for Northwest Crossing.

“And what better way to gather than around food and beverage?” Jones told the Source.

The Grove is part of phase 1 of a larger complex, soon to include condos and commercial spaces. Eventually, “tuck-under parking” will offer spaces underground, providing some of that much-debated parking for a town that loves to talk about parking.

Four businesses will officially open in the market hall space this month, including Elly’s Ice Cream and a new Thump Coffee—its fourth Bend location—along with Waypoint, which announced on its Instagram page that it will open May 20.

Outside, Italian cart Sunny’s Carrello has set up shop in anticipation of opening in a permanent space in the fall. It, too, was set to open May 20.

July will bring the opening of tenants including Left Coast Burger Company, noodle shop ThAiPAS and Green Leaf Juice. In the fall, a new market, Sebastian’s Seafood & Specialty Market will open, along with Sunny’s in its new spot. One more spot in the market hall is still open.

For Lisandro Ramon, owner of Left Coast Burger Company—who owns

Diners at The Grove will require something to wash down all the food options; start with this cocktail menu at the Waypoint bar.

another location in the Cascade Village Shopping Center, as well as The Brown Owl bar—opening in The Grove was as much about getting on board with the cool new concept as it was about the overall area’s popularity, and its proximity to Summit High School.

“There’s like 1,500 kids over there with open-campus lunch,” Ramon told the Source. “Kids love burgers.”

The Grove lends itself to spacing out those burger-lovers, too. Guests can hang out indoors, or use the outdoor dining plaza that includes an outdoor covered bar and built-in counters. Some of the vendors inside have their own walk-up windows, too. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows bring airflow and light into the space.

“The Grove’s ambience provides the ideal mountain-modern interior for us,” said Packy Deenihan, owner of Bend Brewing Company, in a release. “The large sliding doors and gas fire pits on the surrounding patio lends our new space the perfect indoor-outdoor vibe.”

Jones said that since the building

went up during the era of COVID, features like the walk-up windows were part of the evolution of the building. Adding more exterior openings and accommodations for more app-based ordering were COVID additions as well, Jones said.

The Grove is owned by West Bend Development Corp., which developed the neighborhood of NorthWest Crossing. Project PDX, whose other projects include Basecamp, a townhome complex near Bond and Arizona Avenues in Bend, got involved at the request of the property owner, Jones said.

With Asian, Italian, American (by way of burgers), fresh juices and seafood—plus locally produced beer— being just some of the flavors available when The Grove opens this month, it’s safe to say that some of the momentum—and pull—in Bend’s food scene may be shifting west this summer.

The owners of Wild Rose Northern Thai Eats will open their much-anticipated noodle and hot pot shop in downtown Bend this week. Sen, which means “noodle” in Thai, opens Friday, May 21.

Conceived as a “reimagining of a classic noodle shop,” Sen’s website describes its aim to bring “the perfect bowl of noodles one that is salty, sweet, tart, and with just the right amount of spice.”

Find Sen at 69 NW Newport Avenue #100 in Bend, or at senhotpot.com.

Nearly 1,000 Oregon Restaurants Get Federal Relief, with More Money Promised Close to 1,000 Oregon restaurants, bars and other food and beverage establishments are receiving relief funds through a federal program spearheaded by Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer. On May 17, Rep. Blumenauer (D-OR3) and Small Business Administration Administer Isabella Casillas Guzman announced that 960 Oregon businesses received grants through the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, a $28.6-billion program that has so far issued $6 billion in relief to food and beverage businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus far, 38,000 U.S. businesses owned by women, veterans and people of color have received funds through the program, with an average award amount of $143,000. In Oregon, grant funds of $138 million are being distributed.

Blumenauer was the author of the legislation that created the restaurant relief program, which was signed into law as part of the American Rescue Plan. After seeing high demand for the program’s first round of funding—which prioritized businesses owned by women, veterans and POC—Blumenauer and a bipartisan group of senators and representatives announced May 12 that they’d work to replenish the fund to allow more food and beverage business to apply and receive relief. Businesses can use funds to cover payroll, business mortgages or rent, utilities or other operating expenses. The application window runs through May 24th.

SCREEN Those Who Wish the Woman in the Window Dead

Adams and Jolie face off on streaming giants

23

By Jared Rasic

Angelina Jolie does her best Maverick.

terrible writing and intense action, but ultimately, neither of them are memorable enough to make any sort of impression.

I read the book “The Woman in the Window” a couple years ago and thought it was compulsively readable in the same way “The Girl on the Train” was, but pulpier and with less of a point, so the only thing I was really excited for

with the film was the always-excellent Amy Adams and the sometimes-brilliant director Joe Wright. His film, “Hanna,” is one of the most underrated action movies of the last 20 years, but I’m not sure if he’s ever achieved anything as formally exciting since.

Wright fills “The Woman in the Window” with interesting imagery. Adams, as an agoraphobic alcoholic who witnesses Photo courtesy of Amazon

a murder through her window, is fantastic, but the film is so desperate to be a crowd-pleasing hybrid of Hitchcock and De Palma that it fails to create its own identity. Critiques aside, “Window” is still entertaining as hell because Wright knows how to make a damn movie.

“Those Who Wish Me Dead” is an objectively better movie, with Taylor Sheridan using the lessons he learned from writing “Hell or High Water” and directing “Wind River” to make a postnoir Western that screams desperately to be recognized by Cormac McCarthy.

Again, critiques aside, Jolie as a smoke jumper haunted by PTSD and being hunted through a forest fire by two casually evil hit men is a pretty badass concept.

In a different world, both movies would have gone to theaters, made a decent amount of money and then disappeared from the public consciousness after a week or two. Now they get to go to Netflix and HBO and…still get ignored after a couple of weeks due to the sheer amount of content both services are generating. Maybe it’s not such a different world after all.

he streaming services are at war.

This isn’t new or even really a surprise, but there’s a new little wrinkle that makes the entire battle pretty fun to witness. Since theaters haven’t really been a thing for a while, streaming services are still premiering movies that were initially supposed to be theatrical releases, leading to some pretty interesting standoffs between wouldbe blockbusters. This week was especially fun because both new releases were movies that were not only made with a theatrical release in mind, but also starring two of the best actresses of our generation.

On Netflix we have the much-delayed Amy Adams thriller, “The Woman in the Window,” and on HBOMax is the Angelina Jolie survival adventure “Those Who Wish Me Dead.”

Both premiered over the last week and star A-List actresses who haven’t had a strong run of hits lately. Both are thrillers that would have been low to moderate hits had they played in a theater. Oh, and they’re directed by acclaimed filmmakers who are both probably considered to be “slumming.”

Because I’m a deeply professional writer and dedicated to your happiness, I watched both movies so you don’t have to. Not that you shouldn’t.

They are both movies that might have been fun to watch in the theater, but they would have left your mind before you made it to the car afterward.

The films both have ups and downs, packed with moments of great acting,

Ten Wildflowers to Watch for this Spring

Single sunlit mariposa lily bloom at the Whychus Canyon Preserve.

S

pring is here in all its glory, bringing bright greens, purples and yellows to our sagebrush desert! One of the best ways to soak in the colors of the season is to explore the diverse world of Central Oregon wildflowers. May and June bring peak wildflower season in the high desert and Cascade foothills, and here are 10 to watch for.

Arrowleaf balsamroot, Balsamorhiza sagittata. One of our showiest wildflowers lighting up hillsides with sunny, disk-like faces. Grows in clumps with large, widely triangular leaves that have heart-shaped bases. Yellow flowers are 2½ -4 inches wide on 1-3-foot stems.

Columbia puccoon, Lithospermum ruderale. Pale yellow flower that blooms on the end of multiple, erect

at the top of a 8-20-inch tall stem. Poisonous! Found in open grasslands and meadows and is often confused (especially when not blooming) with blue camas, whose bulbs are edible.

Mariposa lily, Calochortus macrocarpus. A sagebrush jewel that blooms intensely lavender on tall 8-23-inch stems. Mariposa is “butterfly” in Spanish, and kalo and chortos are Greek for “beautiful,” and “grass.”

Red columbine, Aquilegia formsa.

A stunningly delicate native that grows in moist, partly shaded areas. Drooping M. A. Willson

flowers that grow on a stem up to 20 inches tall. Found in dry sandy soils in our sagebrush meadows. Flowers are ½-¾ inches across with five petals.

Leaves are alternate and linear.

Washington lily, Lilium washingtonianum. This native lily seems like it came straight from the flower shop with its classic shape, smell, and size!

Large white to pink flowers on tall, 2-8 foot stems. Grows in dry forests and is named for Martha Washington.

stems with narrow linear leaves. Overall 8-20 inches tall and widespread in grasslands, forests and rocky areas.

Fireweed, Chamerion angustifolium.

Dense spike of flowers facing outward.

Deep pink to magenta petals are ¾ to 1 inch wide on 2-5-foot stems. Stems are usually reddish with stiff hairs on the upper section. Grows in open and disturbed areas, especially recently burned lands.

Foothill death camas, Toxicoscordion paniculatum. Delicate, white flowers

bright red and yellow flowers grow on stalks up to 4 feet tall. Hummingbirds and butterflies love columbine nectar.

Scarlet gilia, Ipomopsis aggregata.

Trumpet-shaped, bright red flowers on stem up to 3 feet tall. Flower color may vary from scarlet, speckled with white, to pale pink speckled with red. Grows in dry soils in woodland openings and meadows.

Spotted mountain bells, Fritillaria atropurpurea. A beautifully delicate native lily, found in forests near openings. Brownish, bell-shaped flowers have yellow-red spots and grow 5-25 inches tall. This uncommon lily takes a keen eye to find!

Threadleaf phacelia, Phacelia linearis. Dense cluster of small purple

The local land preservation team’s outdoor events are back on the schedule The Deschutes Land Trust has a packed calendar for the summer season.

From simple wildflower hikes to osteology and outdoor yoga, there’s lots to enjoy among the beauty of Central Oregon this spring. After putting many of its hikes and walks on hold through late May, it’s exciting to see a wide variety of events scheduled throughout June.

Many of the group activities are limited and some small hikes are already sold out—so don’t wait to sign up if you see something that catches your eye.

The Deschutes Land Trust’s work focuses on ensuring the land and waters in Central Oregon flourish and thrive alongside the local communities. The Land Trust currently cares for over 17,000 acres of land in the region, which gives locals and visitors plenty of room to roam. The guided hikes are perfect for first time wanderers or those looking to improve their wildlife identification skills. Join in on the group mountain bike rides for a fun day on wheels. There are also classes just for kids, forest bathing outings and sketching classes where participants can learn to capture the beauty of nature. For those who want to have some nature brought to them, there are still a few virtual classes on the calendar.

phase when gradual, incremental progress is the best progress possible, I offer you the concluding lines of Taurus poet Adrienne Rich’s poem “From a Survivor”: “not as a leap, but a succession of brief, amazing movements, each one making possible the next.” I especially want to call your attention to the fact that the small steps can be “brief, amazing movements.” Don’t underestimate the power of minor, subtle, regular breakthroughs.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a public service announcement for you Geminis from the planet and god Mercury: You’re under no obligation to be the same person you were three years ago, or six months ago, or last week—or even five minutes ago, for that matter. Mercury furthermore wants you to know that you have been authorized to begin a period of improvisation and experimentation, hopefully guided by a single overriding directive: what feels most fun and interesting to you. In the coming weeks it will be more important to create yourself anew than to know precisely who you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As a Zen Buddhist priest for 47 years, Kōshō Uchiyama was knowledgeable about the power that illusions can wield over our imaginations. “If we’re not careful,” he said, “we are apt to grant ultimate value to something we’ve just made up in our heads.” I won’t tell you the examples from my own life that prove his point, because they’re too embarrassing. And I’m happy to report that I don’t think you’re anywhere near granting ultimate value to something you’ve just made up in your head. But I do advise you to be on the lookout for milder versions of that phenomenon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo-born professor Sibelan Forrester is an expert on charms, spells, and incantations in Russian folklore. She wrote, “An empty place where no one can see or hear what one says is the proper locus for working magic.” Spells often start with these words, she added: “I rise up, saying a blessing. I go out, crossing myself, and I go to an open field.” Whether or not you have Russian heritage, Leo, I see the immediate future as being a good time for you to perform magic in an open field with no one else around. What might be the intention of your magic? How about something like this: “I ask my guides and ancestors to help me offer my most inspired largesse so as to serve the health and inspiration and liberation of the people whose lives I touch.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Spiritual author Stephen Russell wrote, “Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: It is your greatest asset.” That’s an exaggeration, in my opinion. Vulnerability is a greater asset than your intelligence, compassion, and creativity? Not in my view. But I do recognize the high value of vulnerability, especially for you Virgos during the next three weeks. “Be vulnerable,” Russell continues. “Quake and shake in your boots with it. The new bounty and beauty that are coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things, can only come to you when you are vulnerable—open.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My friend Jenny’s Swedish grandmother used to say to her on a semi-regular basis, “åh tänk om vi vore korkade, vi skulle vara så lyckliga,” meaning, “If only we were stupid, we would be so happy.❞ In the coming weeks, I am asking you to disprove that folk wisdom.

According to my analysis of the astrological potentials, now is a favorable time for you to explore ways in which your intelligence might enhance and deepen your enjoyment of life. Your motto should be: “The smarter we are, the happier we will be.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometime soon I invite you to speak a message similar to what poet Kenneth Rexroth once delivered to a special person in his life. He wrote, ❝Your tongue thrums and moves / Into me, and I become / Hollow and blaze with / Whirling light, like the inside / Of a vast expanding pearl.❞ Do you know anyone who might

be receptive to hearing such lyrical praise? If not, create a fantasy character in your imagination to whom you can say it. On the other hand, maybe you do know a real person who would appreciate an earthier, less poetical tribute. If so, please convey it; something akin to this: “Your influence on me amplifies my ability to be my best self.” Now is a perfect time to honor and extol and reward those who move you and excite you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Aldous Huxley said, “I can sympathize with people’s pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else’s happiness.” To that I reply, “Other people’s pleasure and happiness bored you? Maybe you were suffering from raging narcissism and an addiction to cynicism.” In any case, Sagittarius, I hope you won’t be like Huxley in the next few weeks. I believe you could glean useful insights and derive personal benefits from knowing about and appreciating the joys of others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn businessman Howard Hughes (1905–1976) had great success early in his life. Working as a film director and aviation pioneer, he became a wealthy philanthropist. But as he aged, he became increasingly eccentric and reclusive. For the last 10 years of his life, he lived in expensive hotels, where he placed strict and often absurd demands on the hotel staff. For example, if he called on room service to bring him a meal that included peas, he would measure the peas with a ruler, and send back any he deemed too big. I do hope that you Capricorns will also have an intense focus on mastering the details in the coming weeks—but not as intense or misguided as that nonsensical obsession.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was famous and popular. Audiences packed the halls where he did public lectures and readings. His favorite way to prepare for these evening events was to spend the day drinking a pint of champagne, as well as generous servings of rum, cream, and sherry with eggs beaten into the mix. I don’t have a problem with that—whatever works, right?—but I suggest a different approach for your upcoming appointments with greater visibility and prominence. Like what? How about sexy meditations on the gratitude you feel for your expanding possibilities?

How about fun fantasies focusing on how you’ll use your increased clout?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his upcoming book The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, John Koenig proposes that we begin using “monachopsis,” a word he coined. He defines it as follows: “the feeling of being out of place, as maladapted to your surroundings as a seal on a beach—lumbering, clumsy, easily distracted, huddled in the company of other misfits, unable to recognize the ambient roar of your intended habitat, in which you’d be fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.” Even if you have spent too much time lately experiencing monachopsis, my dear, I predict this malaise will soon dissipate and give way to an extended phase of being fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries playwright Samuel Beckett wrote the play Waiting for Godot. At one point in the tale, the character named Estragon suggests it might be possible, even desirable, to “dance first and think afterwards.” In response, the character named Pozzo says, “By all means, nothing simpler. It’s the natural order.” With that in mind, and in accordance with astrological omens, I am going to encourage you to dance first and think afterwards as much as possible in the coming weeks. In my opinion, your ability to analyze and reason will thrive to the degree that you encourage your body to engage in enjoyable free-form play. Your power to make good decisions will grow as you take really good care of your physical organism and give it an abundance of pleasure and release.

Worthy Brewing’s Organic Farm

Add communal farming to the brewery’s list of cool side projects

By Brian Yaeger Chuck Greenwood

Brewmaster Dustin Kellner, left, with Lisa Sanco, sustainability educator.

V

isitors to Worthy Brewing can’t help but notice the hopyard is looking a bit barren. It’s not that the land proved infertile. Quite the contrary; it’s being repurposed into a new organic farm, the latest venture for the Worthy Garden Club, the brewery’s nonprofit highlighting sustainable practices.

The new farm “came on suddenly,” says Lisa Sanco, Worthy Garden Club’s sustainability educator, “as many of (founder Roger Worthington)’s ideas do.”

Worthington is also the guy who deemed the brewery ought to have its own astronomical observatory, the Hopservatory.

Whereas another of the organization’s initiatives, Operation Appleseed, is well on its way to planting a million trees all across Oregon in order to restore forests and combat climate change, the new farm will be a hands-on demonstration of farming practices anyone can employ close to home. The high desert may not be as fecund as the Willamette Valley (where most of Oregon’s hops and other crops grow), but the now-kaput hopyard showed how much we can grow around here.

My favorite aspect of the greenhouse and raised beds that were growing hops wasn’t knowing that a few small batches of beer were made with hyperlocal hops, but the educational aspect of having visitors—predominantly beer drinkers by default—get to see, touch, and smell the ingredient that makes beer beer.

Anyone who’s interested in growing their own for homebrewing purposes or just likes the way they look and provide some “green shade” can purchase the remaining hop plants from the brewery.

A few hop bines—the fragrant flowers don’t technically grow on vines—will remain for utilitarian and aesthetic purposes, but three new high tunnels (think unheated greenhouse) will be installed, along with a stupefying amount of soil. The objective is to increase biomass through square foot and vertical farming as well as extended growing seasons that, unlike the

monocropping that predominates most farmlands, provides ample and sustainable gardening. Expect classes open to the public that will demonstrate how anyone with some space available—including turning fences into micro-farms—can grow fruits, vegetables, herbs or flowers. In the case of Worthy Brewing, they want tomatoes and peppers they can use for their pizzas and salads. Among the hops, expect highly utilized varietals like Cascade and Chinook.

Incidentally, while Worthy Garden Club has long partnered with Oregon State University, including on a hop breeding program, a recent discovery of a wild or feral hop was found on Worthy’s Tenmile property near Yachats.

(That said, Worthy’s Tenmile Lager isn’t made with that hop, but instead with Strata, a newer darling of the hop world.)

Also working on Worthy’s new venture is Gwen Bartonek, an urban agriculturalist who’s worked with breweries and nurseries in and beyond Oregon. Her growing experience stems as an edible landscaper with Portland Community Gardens and the Oregon Food Bank’s Seed to Supper Program helping low-income families grow their own food. Her role began while Sanco is out on maternity leave.

“Lisa has really fostered an environment of learning science and beauty within our community,” she said. Like everyone involved in this project, she’s dedicated to finding ways to do more while using less. “How much can you grow close to home with the space that you have? Reducing our carbon footprint is important in everything Worthy does. I feel like Worthy’s entire mantra is, ‘What if?’ We bring people in with the beer and try and get them excited about these ideas.”

VOLUME 25 ISSUE 20 / MAY 20, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’m a guy in my senior year of college. I cannot figure out how my roommate gets all the women he does.

He’s a huge jerk to everyone, including women -- the typical “bad boy.” He breaks any rule or law he can, doesn’t care who he hurts, and makes very little effort with women, yet all my female friends go for him. A good friend (sleeping over, as it got really late) even left my bed in the middle of the night to get into his! Why?!!

—Nice Guy Women—especially in their 20s—will blather on about how they want a nice, reliable guy. Then they find one and immediately despise him for how nice and reliable he is: like how he always calls when he says he will—usually to the minute!—and there’s never that recorded voice on the line first, “Will you accept a collect call from prison?”

Reading between the lines of your email, you seem to have the same question cognitive scientist Scott Barry Kaufman asked: Basically, do you have to be a jerk to get the girl? To answer that, Kaufman explored bad boys’ appeal. He observes that bad boys tend to have big helpings of “dark triad” personality traits. Dark triad sounds like the name for three ne’er-do-well superheroes, but it’s actually the term for three malevolent personality traits with some ugly similarities: Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism.

Machiavellianism, named for 16th-century Italian political adviser (aka tyrant whisperer) Niccolo Machiavelli, plays out in ruthless scheming, callousness, and self-interest. Psychopathy shows itself in callous detachment, poor impulse control, and a lack of empathy and remorse. Narcissism is reflected in egotism, an extra-large sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, and “grandiosity”: an inflated sense of one’s greatness in contrast with all the rest of the human worms.

This is quite the personality poison pack, yet—in research mirroring your experience—evolutionary psychologist Peter K. Jonason found that dark triad traits were correlated with having more sex partners (as well as more of a desire for hookups).

Obviously, the dark triad traits themselves—essentially heartless, exploitative user-ishness—make exactly no one in their right mind go, “Wow, where do I sign up for somebody with all that?!” However, Kaufman observes that dark triad “bad boys tend to have

lots of positive traits that come along for the ride (with) the badness,” such as confidence, assertiveness, and fearlessness, along with creativity, humor, charisma, and high energy—“all things women find attractive.”

I think two types of women are particularly drawn to bad boys: hookuperellas—women who just want casual sex—and “sensation-seeking” excitement junkies.

Sensation seeking is a personality trait that psychologist Marvin Zuckerman finds plays out in a craving for novel, varied, intense sensations and experiences and a willingness to take risks to get them.

There’s a clue in all of this for the dismayed Amy Alkon nice guy who can’t understand why women seem to fall out of the trees into bed with the jerk. Even women who aren’t danger-and-excitement junkies are drawn to men who are a consistent source of “novel” experiences: that is, who never stop surprising them (though playfully rather than evilly!).

Also, consider that what drives away women isn’t so much being a nice guy but an overly nice guy: a guy who comes off needy, tentative, and desperate to be wanted. Now, maybe you feel needy, tentative, and desperate—at least to some degree. (Who doesn’t?!) The thing is there’s no mandate for you to act the way you feel. That said, I explain in “Unf*ckology” that “fake it till you make it” is actually a bust, because you typically succumb to “cognitive overload”: you have so many things to remember (to come off confident, surprising, fun, etc.) that you end up getting overwhelmed and falling apart.

I instead advise that you “impersonate your way” into the new confident you: basically, borrow a confident, easygoing, fun guy’s persona—meaning, secretly “be” him (like an actor playing a role) when, say, talking to a new woman in a coffee shop. Do this repeatedly, and you should see that women treat you very differently.

There are sure to be some hiccups, but you should eventually feel ready to do this confident, easygoing thing as you: a nice guy who’s trained himself into having the good parts of bad-boy mojo. By the way, you should have an easier time with the ladies as you approach your 30s because many women will have been jerk-burned at least once and learned their lesson. They want a guy who can hold their attention for hours with his wit and good nature—as opposed to the dude who seems destined to hold off the cops for hours by shouting demands from inside the 7-Eleven.

Reading the CC&Rs is an Essential Task in the Homebuying Process

Otis Craig Broker, CRS

Know before buying cohesive feel in the neighborhood, while maintaining the overall property values within the development in perpetuity.

Reviewing the CC&Rs prior to closing on a property is crucial in order to make an informed decision on the neighborhood, especially because it can have a negative and potentially expensive impact on a homeowner if one is unable or unwilling to comply with the rules and limitations.

The Source Weekly’s feature story from May 13 detailed how a group of neighbors effectively barred short-term vacation rentals inside the Tanglewood neighborhood in Bend through a change in its CC&Rs—an example of how CC&Rs can impact the way homes in certain neighborhoods can or cannot be used.

CC&Rs will also provide insight into the financial stability of the community, as well as specify the fees associated with owning property in the community, potential assessments for special projects, repairs or routine maintenance of community streets and roads as an example. They will also outline the fines and sanctions for non-compliance, in addition to clarifying corrective actions and means of contesting a fine or sanction.

Purchasing a home is a big decision and for most, it is the biggest purchase one will make in their lifetime. So, it is critical to know what one is signing up for and whether one can live with and under the rules before choosing to live in a planned community governed by an HOA. Take the time to read each rule, ask the questions and weigh the cost versus benefit of purchasing in a planned development. It is truly no different of an exercise than getting a professional home inspection. The inspection helps a buyer know what they are getting for their money and the CC&Rs tell a buyer what they are getting with the community and what will be required of homeowners living in that community.

ovenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) are generally not considered to be scintillating reading material. While it’s a laborious task, it’s a crucial part of the homebuying process when considering purchasing a home in a planned community. Planned development communities can come with many perks, such as neighborhood parks, trail systems, pools, tennis courts and clubhouses. With these amenities also come rules and regulations for the planned development.

These are enforced by the homeowner’s association and are legally binding.

CC&Rs are the rules and restrictions on properties within a planned development.

They are a set of guidelines to explain what can and cannot be done with a property, with the intent of protecting property values. These are not to be confused with property zoning that is set forth by governmental entities. CC&Rs are typically created and set by the master developer and are designed to maintain a cohesive residential community while protecting property values.

It’s critical when purchasing a home to take the time to review all of the CC&Rs before buying a home, as again, they are legally binding, and these rules and restriction may affect your decision to buy. Failure to comply with the community rules and property limitations can result in fines, liens and potentially adverse legal actions against a homeowner in violation.

CC&Rs are voluntary agreements between private parties. Because CC&Rs are a voluntary agreement, they can be very specific and restrictive. Some more common examples of CC&Rs are architectural guidelines, exterior aesthetics, landscaping, fencing, vehicle parking, business limitations, additional structures (like an accessory dwelling unit, shed or play structure) and noise levels. These community rules are all designed with the intent of keeping a consistent and
